Breakdown - April 3, 2013

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Portland, Oregon as we are just over two weeks away from Riding the Lightning Weekend and tonight, we’ll see two titles on the line. First, the SCW Adrenaline Championship will be on the line!”

We then see a still come up on the screen showing Andre Jordan before showing David Helms and then showing the SCW Adrenaline Championship before showing both in front of the Breakdown logo.

Knots: “Yes we will. Andre Jordan apparently has gotten the attention of someone. The kid’s getting a chance to wrestle greatness tonight. A Supreme Champion, David Helms! The Adrenaline Championship will be on the line!”

Sharper: “But that’s not all. As arranged eleven days ago on this programme, the United States Championship will be on the line. Ravyn Taylor defends against Christian Savior.”

We then see a shot of Christian Savior before showing a shot of Ravyn Taylor before showing the SCW United States Championship on the screen and then both individuals in front of the Breakdown logo.

Knots: “Yeah. Savior is cashing in his rematch clause and can you believe that he’s made a deal with David Miller that if he keeps CHBK out, he’s got a title shot. You gotta win the title first.”

Sharper: “Well we’ll see about that. Plus, who knows what else we’re going to see here tonight!”

Sharper: “Hello again everyone, Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots here at ringside. Jake Starr on his way to the ring. The World Champion is likely to address the announcement on Supreme Saturday from Syren.”

Knots: “Not only that. But Jake didn’t look so hot. Devon Kayl got one over him!”

Sharper: “I’m sure he’ll have thoughts on that along with Collin Cole’s involvement there.”

The crowd cheers as Jake Starr walks down to the ring, the SCW World Championship sitting over his shoulder. He walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. He then walks across before going to the corner. He pounds on his chest and looking around before thrusting his fists in the air. He then drops down and demands a microphone. He’s handed one by Jason Phillips and he walks to the middle of the ring before looking out at the crowd. The crowd continues to cheer as Starr’s music fades.

Starr: “Well pardon me for not wanting to stand here and soak in the cheers from you guys, but I’m getting a bit pissed off about the fact that apparently the actions of some assholes out there are going to screw things up for me.”

Knots: “Now he’s complaining?!”

Starr looks around.

Starr: “Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind people trying to come after me to take me out. That’s part of being a champion and I don’t mind being the target for so many people. That’s when I thrive. But for the love of God, when are attacking me just to make a statement, helping the chances of their opponents to look good…! I can kick their ass well enough. I don’t need jack-offs like Collin Cole screwing things up too!”

The crowd boos a bit.

Starr: “I mean I know that everyone wants to face me. That’s why Syren’s got this great plan to face me, one on one, in a steel cage, in her hometown on night Two. Good for her. It’s good to have goals. I just hope that she’s got David’s shirt handy to cry into when she loses in front of her hometown and that’s probably with all of her buddies jumping into the cage to try and kick my ass! I hope she has some back-up plan….wait a minute…no I don’t. I hope she burns in hell. And the best part, you want to talk about making it on the up and up. Sorry, that your plan at Retribution backfired, sister. But the fact is, you brought my wife into it. That screwed you over. You want to take her out. That’s fine. But I’m going to use your plan against you and I’m going to take this World Championship, and start walking right to Taking Hold of the Flame to face Brittany Lohan before storming into Rise to Greatness and headlining that event as champion for the first time in my career!”

The crowd roars.

Starr: “Now Syren, I’ll get to you soon enough. But first, it seems that I’ve got an opening in my dance card on Night One for Riding the Lightning. I’ve been told I’m going to defend this baby right there and then and I’d love to know against who. Because seriously, with everyone looking to make a name for themselves, they’re going to say this and that and it’s like running for President. Throw your name in the hat until the spotlight’s on you. Then what. So-“

“THIS IS KAYL TV!”

The crowd roars before the cameras turn to the entrance way and we see Devon Kayl walk out from the back. Skylar Desoubrais and Brittany Kayl are with him. Brittany holds a camera, documenting this apparently, as Devon takes a few steps down the rampway to the bottom of the ramp before looking up at the ring.

Knots: “Oh great…”

Devon: “Jake! Jake-y…Jake my boy. Don’t I have something for you. It’s an answer to that question! Who’s going to face you? Well, if you haven’t noticed. I hold a pinfall victory over you, thanks to Supreme Saturday. Now, I know what you’re thinking…I had a bit of help from some gnat who wanted to get involved, but let’s be fair…I’m not out here because he helped me win. I’m out here, because I’m sure you’ll want some revenge to make sure the world knows it was NOT a fluke. You want to show the world that YOU are better than ME! And well, I want to show the world that it was NOT a fluke and that I am better than YOU! And what better way to do that than to give me a shot at your title at Riding the Lightning Night One…..”

Devon then turns away from the microphone, mumbling into it.

Devon: “Before I beat you and kick Syren’s ass and show the world I really was the Star of Tomorrow…hmmm?”

Devon smiles as Jake just looks at him incredulously. He goes to respond before suddenly the opening riff to “Cochise” plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos as Siouxsie Blade walks out and then Collin Cole walks out and remains at the top of the entrance way. He has a microphone in his hand.

Knots: “There we go! That’s a challenger!”

Cole looks down at Devon as Devon just rolls his eyes. Jake just looks on.

Cole: “Hold it…Hold it….Do I even need to point out that Jake has to prove nothing to you. The fact is Devon. You wouldn’t have gotten in that place if it wasn’t for me. The fact is that if we’re talking about motivation, I’m sure that Jake would love to get revenge to the man who tarnished his record more and that is yours truly…someone who has spent the last year only getting better by the day, the man who has proven he can take on anyone and get it done!”

The crowd boos.

Cole: “So you can face Devon Kayl and let him have one final shot at the spotlight, or you can do the world of favour and give people a classic between yourself and a future hall of famer in Collin Cole!”

The crowd boos. Jake Starr just smirks.

Jake: “Really? Future Hall of Famer…well…that’s hard to argue with…”

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

Jake: “Ah…damn it…”

The crowd boos loudly as “Vanity” plays throughout the arena. We then see Katie Steward walk out with TJ Johnson in front of her, microphone in his hand.

Johnson: “Oh God no! Not Kayl! And Collin….not you too. I’m speaking right now because YOUR Goddess is just too angry to let this go on. The challenger is obvious. It shouldn’t even be dithered about. We all know that the fact is that Katie Steward deserves to have that opportunity against you Jake!”

The crowd boos. Katie just looks around, glaring at the crowd.

Johnson: “Come on! After you have defeated Syren who is not even in Katie’s league, you should face the woman who will be the first TWO time female World Champion, Jake! You can be a part of history!”

The crowd boos as Jake Starr just scoffs a bit.

Knots: “Please…”

Sharper: “People are making their claims-“

Just then, we see a shot of the boardroom in the SCW headquarters in Toronto come up on the screen. The crowd buzzes a bit. Bob Tomlinson is in the main view as he stands in front of the SCW logo.

Tomlinson: “Ladies…gentlemen…you may want to listen to this. See, Jake, we understand your dilemma. And in an effort to be as fair as possible with the World Championship opportunity on the first night, we have come up with a solution. Because there are a number of individuals, some well-established, some up and coming and in an effort to provide opportunity, we have come up with the following resolution. Tonight, we are going to announce ten individuals at random. They will be chosen at random by us, using the same tumbler we use for the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. The difference…these ten will all walk down to that ring in tonight’s Breakdown main event and compete in an over-the-top rope, battle royal. The winner will face you, Jake Starr, for the World Championship on Riding the Lightning: Night One.”

The crowd buzzes.

Tomlinson: “Since we know all want an opportunity, we’re going to give all an opportunity. We will announce the individuals, first, starting right now.”

Tomlinson is then handed a plastic ball with a piece of paper in it by one of the SCW secretaries.

Tomlinson: “Thank you…”

Tomlinson opens the ball before pulling out the piece of paper and reading it.

Tomlinson: “The first entrant…Collin Cole.”

Cole is shown pumping his fist in happiness as Kayl and Katie just look on unhappy.

Tomlinson: “More to come throughout the night. Until then…”

Tomlinson nods before the feed ends and “Rescue Me” starts to play. Cole just looks at Starr as Starr looks at him. Kayl and Katie glare at Cole.

Sharper: “A ten person battle royal later tonight to determine who will face Jake Starr for the World Championship on Night One for Riding the Lightning.”

Knots: “Talk about a way to make an impact. Collin Cole is already in. He’s my favourite!”

Sharper: “There’s nine more to be announced.”

Knots: “I reserve the right to re-evaluate.”

Sharper: “I’m sure. Well, in any case, as we go from that bombshell, when we return…”

We then see a shot of David Helms walking down the hallway on one side of the screen before showing Andre Jordan getting prepared on the other side.

Sharper: “…the Adrenaline Championship will be on the line. Andre Jordan challenges David Helms when we return!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Andre Jordan vs. David Helms

SCW Adrenaline Championship

“Here Comes The Boom” begins to play as the crowd rises to their feet. A few moments pass by till Andre makes his way out on to the stage. Andre bounces up and down while looking out to the crowd and nodding his head. He makes his way down the aisle and shouts out to the fans “Let’s Get This Started People”. He slaps a few fans hands at ringside before running towards the ring and sliding underneath the bottom rope. He then pops up to one knee and looks around the arena. He now gets to his feet and goes towards the ropes. He puts one foot on the bottom rope and the other on the middle rope. He puts his index finger behind his ear then starts motioning for the crowd to get louder which they do. He cracks a smile and nods his head as he then gets off the ropes.

Sharper: “A huge opportunity for this young man here tonight. He is getting his first crack as SCW Gold here as he challenges for the Adrenaline Championship.”

Knots: “Okay. I get it. He looked good on Aggression before Retribution. He’s looked good recently. Great. He’s facing the fifth Supreme Champion ever! He’s facing a clear hall of famer.”

Sharper: “That’s why we have the matches though. Anything can happen on any night.”

As the crowd buzz in anticipation of what is to come next, the arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the room into near total darkness, with only the glow from the screens casting a little light onto the stage area as the eerie sound of wolves howling off in the distance begins to filter through the speaker system. After a couple of seconds, the sound of wolves is replaced with the final line of the pre-chorus from the song "All I Want" by A Day To Remember.

"Would you even look back when you think of meeee... meeee... meee... meeee..."

As the song reaches the final word in the line the song begins to skip, constantly repeating the same word over and over several times before being replaced by the sound of a needle scraping across a record as the music cuts off. The sound of a man laughing echoes through the arena before "Raised By Wolves" by Falling In Reverse hits the speakers and the fans in attendance begin to boo like mad.

"I was lost now I'm found,
I'm sustained by the sound,
Of the angels singing me to sleep,
While my feet are leaving the ground,
Am I dead? Or am I dreaming instead?
A cornucopia of opiates have flooded my head"

The song kicks in to full flow and as it does, pyro's explode on either end off the stage and sparks fall from the rafters above the stage before the lights flick on to reveal David Helms stood on the stage throwing the Self High Five, wearing his ring gear, complete with a red leather sleeveless hooded jacket, the hood up over his head. The SCW Adrenaline Championship and World Tag Team Chmapionship belts sit over his shoulders. His oldest friend Matty Stone stands to his side, rolling his eyes at the fans as they boo at Helms.

"I'm insane, I am smart,
All it takes, is a spark, to ignite my bad intentions,
And do what I do best to your heart
"Don't be fooled I was raised by the wolves,
Now the moon hangs in full, so you know I won't play by the rules"

Jumping in the air, Helms brings his arms apart to another bang of pyrocs before landing and ripping back his hood to look around at the fans who boo him. He smirks at them, tapping his hand against Matty's arm and gesturing his head to the fans before they share a laugh at the SCW faithful's expense. Turning back to face the ring, Helms rolls his neck from side to side to crack it before suddenly sprinting down the ramp, leaving Matty to follow him as the music continues.

Phillips: "Ladies and gentlemen, making his way to the ring from Red Bank New Jersey, he weighed in this evening at one hundred ninety five pounds and is accompanied by his manager Matty Stone. He is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions and the SCW Adrenaline Champion...DAVID HELMS!!"

Jumping up, Helms slides under the bottom rope feet first before jumping up to his feet and quickly scaling the nearest turnbuckle, throwing another Self High Five as the fans continue to boo him. Matty walks around the ring to the far side as Helms drops down from the turnbuckle, quickly making his way to the ring post nearest Matty on the opposite side of the ring, before scaling that one and throwing up another Self High Five to more boos from the crowd. Dropping back down from the turnbuckle, he removes his jacket and casually tosses it to the outside before he turns and looks at Jordan and smirks and hands off the Adrenaline Championship to the official and hands the Tag Championship to Matty. The SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Big night here tonight. Helms who had a big night last Breakdown, talking to Syren and keeping her spirits up before attacking Eternal to close the show.”

Knots: “And we know why. They wanted to face Eternal at Riding the Lightning! Talk about fighting champions.”

Sharper: “The irony there is I’m being told that everyone could be in that battle royal and if say Helms, Valentine, Valiant or Trent, all of those individuals who are in that Tag Team Championship match on Night One are in that battle royal and in, they will have to do double duty that night.”

Knots: “Well hot damn, the Board of Directors doing something interesting. Too bad it’s horribly unfair to Helms and Valentine.”

Sharper: “What about Valiant or Trent, again, assuming any of them are randomly chosen?”

Knots: “Screw Valiant. Poor Trent.”

Sharper: “Anyways, Adrenaline Championship on the line here.”

The referee holds the title over his head before handing it off to Jason Phillips. He backs up and calls for the bell. The bell sounds and Helms smirks, looking at Andre. Andre watches him and the two circle the ring. They move in and Helms knees him in the ribs. He nails him with a forearm and then a chop. The crowd woos. Helms smirks before kicking him in the ribs and turning and throwing him into the corner. Andre turns and Helms kicks him in the ribs before kneeing him in the ribs again. He then grabs him and hip tosses him out. Andre gets up and starts to turn to Helms before Helms runs over and clotheslines him down. He smirks before Andre gets up and turns around and Helms kicks him in the ribs and then spins him around before then cuffing him in the back of the head and throwing him back with a backbreaker. Helms gets up and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a running leg drop. He goes for the pin.

Andre kicks out. He turns and Helms gets up and grabs him and lifts him up before snapmaring him over and dropkicking him in the back of the head. Andre rolls to the ropes and Helms gets up and walks to the ropes, leaning on the ropes as the crowd boos.

Knots: “See! This is all Helms. He’s just on fire right now.”

Sharper: “Well right now, he’s got this under control. He doesn’t want to get too cocky-“

Knots: “He’s not going to. He’s David Helms. He’s a double champion! He’s awesome!”

David Helms turns around as Jordan gets up. He then clubs him in the back and runs across the ring. He bounces off and nails Jordan with a running dropkick. Jordan goes up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs. Jordan rolls over and starts to get up. Helms smirks before grabbing the top rope. He waits for a moment as Jordan gets up and Helms then slingshots to the apron before stopping only to stomp Jordan in the face. Jordan stumbles to the announce tables. He steps forward and Helms stomps him again. He drops down and grabs Jordan before rolling him into the ring. Helms slides in and goes to Jordan.

Jordan kicks out. Both men get up and Helms grabs Jordan first. He then whips him into the ropes. Jordan bounces off and Helms goes to hip toss him, but Jordan spins through and pulls him in before snapping him off with a powerslam. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Hard powerslam and Jordan with a hell of a counter!”

Knots: “Where did he get that from!”

Sharper: “A bit of arrogance from Helms costs him and Jordan has a chance to get some offense!”

Jordan gets up and Helms starts to get up and Jordan nails him in the back with a forearm and then another before jumping up and nailing him in the side of the head with an enziguri. Helms falls over. Helms stirs and Jordan grabs him and hooks him up before snap suplexing him over. He then goes for the pin.

Helms kicks out. Jordan gets up and Helms stirs. He sits up and starts to get up and Jordan nails him with a jab. He nails him with a shot to the ribs before lifting him up and hitting a backbreaker. He runs into the ropes and bounces off before hitting a jumping knee drop. He rolls through and then turns around and hits another!

Sharper: “A hard knee drop, just after another. And now, Jordan, goes for the cover.”

Knots: “Oh God! Kick out David! Kick out!”

David kicks out. He rolls over and Jordan looks up. He gets up and grabs David and lifts him up. The crowd cheers for him before he whips David into the corner. David hits hard and Jordan runs after him and nails him with a running dropkick. The crowd ohs. David stumbles forward. He falls to a knee and Jordan lifts him up before lifting him onto the top turnbuckle. He nails him with a hard right before climbing up. Helms however headbutts him before nailing him with a hard right and then another. He then scoops Jordan up and slams him down before turning around and jumping off the middle rope and hitting the Social Distortion. The crowd ohs and Helms goes for the pin.

Jordan gets his shoulder up. Helms rolls over and gets up. Jordan rolls over and stirs and Helms grabs him. He then hooks him up and hoists him up for a reverse suplex, but Jordan counters with the reverse DDT. Jordan rolls through and uses the ropes to pull himself up.

Sharper: “Great counter again by Andre Jordan! That reverse DDT!”

Knots: “I don’t understand! How is Jordan getting these big moves off?!”

Sharper: “Andre Jordan wants to be Adrenaline Champion. That’s motivation to say the least!”

Knots: “So?!”

Jordan rolls over and starts to stir. Helms starts to get up and Jordan nails him with a hard right. The crowd roars. He nails him again and the crowd roars again. He then whips Helms into the ropes. Helm bounces off the ropes and Jordan goes for a clothesline. Helms ducks and bounces off the other side and jumps up and goes for a flying clothesline, but Jordan ducks and Helms hits the referee. The crowd ohs. Helm then drops down to the floor. Helms walks over to the timekeeper’s table and grabs the Adrenaline Championship belt. He turns and starts to walk back as the crowd boos. He hops onto the apron, but Jordan nails him with a hard right. Helms throws the belt up and it falls into the ring. Jordan nails him again before hooking him up and hitting a vertical suplex into the ring. Jordan turns and gets up before going over to Helms. He hooks him up and spikes him with another DDT. He then rolls him over and goes for the pin. The referee however is still down.

Sharper: “Jordan has spiked Helms! One! Two! Come on!”

Knots: “But no ref!”

Jordan looks up and Matty Stone hops onto the apron. Jordan turns and nails him with a hard right. Helms then grabs the Adrenaline Championship slowly starts to get up. Jordan turns around and goes after Helms. He grabs him, but Helms turns and goes to nail him, but Jordan ducks and lifts Helms up and drives him throat first into the top rope. The referee starts to get up and Helms rolls over. Jordan then grabs the SCW Adrenaline Championship and holds it up. He then turns and Matty Stone slides back in. The crowd boos and Jordan turns and nails him with it. The crowd roars. The referee gets up and turns to face the ring and Helms manages to get up and Jordan, not thinking, turns and blasts him with the title. He immediately throws it away, clearly unhappy, but the referee sees it and calls for the bell.

Sharper: “Come on! Damn it!”

Knots: “He hit him in front of the official!”

Sharper: “You can tell he didn’t mean to. He was caught up in the moment!”

Knots: “So! Tough for him!”

Helms rolls over as Jordan turns and kicks the bottom rope. He turns and pleads with the official, but the official goes over and grabs the title before turning and handing it off to Helms. Jordan turns and clutches his face in disbelief. Helms rolls over, half out of it, holding the bell. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “I don’t believe it! Helms retains! He retains!”

Knots: “Disqualification! Jordan screwed up!”

Sharper: “Give me a break!”

Helms slowly rolls out of the ring. The crowd boos as Matty stumbles over and holds him up. They raise each other’s hands as the crowd boos. Jordan continues to look on in disbelief.

“Rescue Me” plays in the background before we see the Breakdown logo and then the words “Battle Royal for Riding the Lightning: Night One World Championship shot.” A pause follows before we see a shot of Regan Street. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Wow! Talk about things getting interesting. Collin Cole first and now Regan Street!”

Knots: “The Women’s Champion. She realizes Rachel Foxx is bad news and now the Board is saying she’s in there. Hot damn!”

Sharper: “More revelations to come and that’s what will be our main event. That and the US Championship on the line! More to come here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Knots: “What?!”

Sharper: “That’s going to be interesting. Harmony Fisher and Jake Starr have been good friends. She wins, that could be a very interesting match.”

Knots: “And if she wins, then Syren!”

Jesse Rose vs. Chantel Peterson

The scene opens with Chantel Peterson already standing in the ring. She is bouncing up and down, gearing herself up ready to go for tonight’s match.

Phillips: From Buffalo, New York, weighing in at one hundred and ten pounds, Chantel Peterson.

Knots: Have we ever aired her entrance for live television?

Sharper: I doubt she is concerned about that right now. If I was her I would be more worried about facing Rachel Foxx’s personal assistant, Jesse Rose. We don’t know a lot about her. Being trained by a former four time Underground Champion, that can’t mean good news for Chantel Peterson.

Knots: Just what we need, another psycho running around.

The arena goes dark as J. Robert Oppenheimer's gravely voice echoes through a quieted arena.

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

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

Sharper: Judging by her comments on twitter she is looking forward to her debut match.

Knots: I’m not. Anyone who has been loyal to Foxx for as long as she has is ten, no, fifty shades of crazy.

The referee goes to check if Chantel Peterson is concealing an illegal object. As the ref is padding Chantel down Jesse charges at Chantel taking her down with a vicious spear. She grabs Chantel’s head. She slams the back of Chantel’s head into the mat. One. Two. Three. Four times. The referee pulls Jesse off Chantel. Jesse jumps back on Chantel slamming the back of her head into the mat. One. Two. Three. Four times. The referee once again pulls Jesse off, this time backing her into the corner. The ref goes over to check on Chantel. Chantel slowly gets to her feet nodding to the ref to start the bell.

DING. DING. DING.

Chantel bum rushes Jesse guns a blazing. Both women brawl, each connecting with rights and lefts, neither lady budging an inch. Jesse regain the advantage with a well placed thumb to the eye. She grabs Chantel by the hair, yanking her by the hair straight down to the mat. She stomps on Chatel’s midsection. She mounts her again. She bites her nose. The crowd cringes at the death rattling screaming coming from Jesse’s opponent. The referee starts the count.

Jesse lets go. She picks Chantel up. Irish whips her into the turnbuckle. She floors Chantel to the mat with a hard clothesline. She rest the heel of her boot on Chantel’s face. She fashwahses her once. Twice. Three. Four times. She picks Chantel up, front face locks her. Then spikes her head into the mat with a devastating DDT.

Jesse goes for the cover.

Jesse yanks Chantel’s head up to the crowd’s dismay. She shakes her head, letting the world know she isn’t done by a long shot.

Knots: What did I tell you?

Sharper: If Chantel doesn’t mount an offensive soon, no telling what Jesse is capable of.

She brings Chantel up to a standing position. She bends Chantel forward. She drives her left knee into Chantel’s head. Then her right knee. Then her left. This continues until she delivers five well placed knees into the forehead of Chantel. The takes a moment to admire her handiwork with a warm smile written across her face. She drops down for the cover.

Again Jesse picks Chantel up by the hair. She shakes her head again, letting the world know she isn’t done; yet. Jesse is waiting patiently for Chantel to struggle to her feet. It takes a little while, Chantel is standing, wobbly, at an upright position. Jesse kicks her in the midsection. Chantel drops to one knee.

Jesse: GET UP!

Chantel struggles to rise to her feet. Jesse kicks Chantel in the shin. The AAA member drops to one knee again. Jesse slaps the taste of out Chantel’s mouth.

Jesse: IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT?!

Motivated by Jesse’s taunting and survival instinct, Chantel spears Jesse to the ground. The crowd,once feeling sorry for Peterson; start to get behind her. She starts wailing rights and lefts, rights and lefts at Jesse’s head. The referee tries his best to restore order. He pulls Chantel off. She fights him off. She stomps on Jesse’s ribs one. Two. Three. Four. Five. Numerous times. Spurned on by her second wind the crowd feeds Chantel more of their support.

She clotheslines Jesse to the mat. Jesse pops up. She is floored with another clothesline. Jesse ducks the third clothesline attempt. Jesse tries the poke to the eye trick once again, only for Chantel to block it. She kicks Jesse in the shin, quickly follows it up with a DDT. Chantel goes for a cover.

Kickout by Jesse.

Chantel picks Jesse up. She swings Jesse into the ropes, only for Jesse to reverse the attempted Irish Whip, use the momentum to place Chantel on her shoulders into the firemans carry position, not wasting any time she floors Chantel with a well placed, executed TKO,

Sharper: She calls that ‘The Whisper of Vengeance.’

Knots: She can fall down a flight of steps for all I care.

Sharper: What has she done to you?

Knots: Born for starters. Drank Rachel’s koolaid, number two. Is the 80th psycho to sign with this company in the last three years. Want me to continue.

Jesse hoist Chantel up on her shoulders again delivering another “Whisper of Vengeance.” Now deciding enough is indeed, enough, Jesse goes for the cover.

DING DING DING

Phillips: And here is your winner; Jesse Rose.

Sharper: An impressive debut by Jesse Rose. If tonight was any indication, Rachel’s training looks like it’s paid off.

Knots: Don’t know how Rachel manages to suck people into her rabbit hole. As long as you keep her away from me I have no problem watching Jesse beat up a couple people.

Jesse rolls out the ring with a smile on her face as she walks up the ramp to chorus of boos.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jessica Winters. She turns to the camera as she stands in front of the SCW interview area.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the man who will challenge for the SCW United States Championship tonight, Christian Savior.”

The crowd cheers as Savior comes into the view. He turns to Jessica as Jessica turns to him.

Jessica: “Now Christian, later tonight, you’re getting your rematch for the US championship. What are your thoughts?”

Savior: “At Retribution, I was champion. I had the US champion. All I had to do was win. David Miller, he was at ringside. CHBK came down. He hit the superkick and that was that. Ravyn and CHBK got me. Tonight, Miller, he’s looking out for CHBK. Tonight, I’m looking out for CHBK. And tonight, I’m going to remind many why I shouldn’t be passed over…whether you’re Thirteen, you’re David Helms…or you’re Ravyn Taylor. Tonight, I plan to show the world that I can beat Ravyn Taylor. Tonight, I am going to win the US Championship again. And CHBK, give it your best shot too. I’ll knock you on your ass too.”

Savior turns to Jessica.

Jessica: “Thank you Christian. Good luck tonight. That match and so much more still to come here on Breakdown.”

Savior walks off as Jessica turns to the camera and smiles before the Breakdown logo comes across the screen.

COMMERCIAL:

Shaun Cruze vs. Blitzkrieg

SCW returns from the commercial break to the commentary team of Andrew Sharper and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “If you’ve just joined us, what a night so far Jonathan and it promises to be even more interesting now with our next match of the night.”

Jonathan Knots slams his hands onto the desk and smiles before facing Sharper.

Knots: “You’re damn right, been looking forward to this ever since it was announced. Shaun Cruze after losing to his brother Orlando...”

Sharper: “Because he couldn’t bring himself to take wrestling away from him!”

Knots: “How noble of him! Let’s see what Aiken and Blitzkrieg think of his nobility let me give you a spoiler. Neither cares especially Blitz because that man is just built to destroy.”

Stills of both Shaun Cruze and Blitzkrieg appear on the television screen and the big screen, the latter getting a roar from the crowd in attendance tonight in Portland.

Sharper: “Blitz? You’re giving him a nickname now, what do you call Aiken then – AcK?”

Knots: “I probably would if he was Scottish, but he isn’t so don’t be absurd or insulting!”

Sharper: “Regardless of what you think, are you ready? Because here’s Jason Phillips with the first of the introductions...”

The camera cuts to the ring where Jason Phillips stands dead centre in the ring with a smile on his face, the crowd gives a small pop but quieten down as he raises the mic.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentleman, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a twenty minute time limit....”

The crowd erupts with noise as an heart beat reverberates around the arena, pulsing faster and faster until it stops, the noise intensifying as Avalon by Professor Green blasts from the PA system.

Yeah, Yeah...
Yeah, Yeah...

It's time to even it up
I guess a round table weren't equal enough
You can't contain me
With chains I'm free
and I run free
Any enemy is coming with me when I'm done

Phillips: “Introducing first, he weighed in tonight at two-hundred and twenty-five pounds, and comes to us by way of London, England... He is SHAUUUNNNEEE CRRRUUZZZEE!!”

The crowd cheers loudly as several explosions and pyrotechnics accompany Shaun Cruze as he steps through the curtain, thrusting one arm up in the air and standing there in that pose, looking left and right at the masses before him. He nods his head appreciatively, before bringing his hand down and clapping the fans which heightens the noise and the atmosphere still further.

Whatever's asked to me I perform,
I rip through the rain into the eye of the storm,
Still carrying the flame, eye of the torch,
Failure comes at a price I can't afford,
Never been halfhearted I put my all in,
Forfeited all just to answer my calling,
Wearing the scars of the wars that I fought in,
Should have been heading for the stars but I'm falling,

I have your sword and cape,
If you need them I'll be swimming in the lake,
Oh baby don't look down, just take the crown.

Knots: “Here comes SCW’s good will ambassador.”

Sharper: “Would you stop it, he appreciates his fans.”

Knots: “I’m all for appreciating my fans, just like my good buddy Shawn Winters. But this is ridiculous he has a match!”

Shaun makes his way down the ramp, high fiving and shaking the hands of several of the fans who are lucky enough to be seated this close. He never pauses however, and keeps walking purposely until he reaches the ring, and without hesitation slides under the bottom strand

We'll be kings forever, oh oh oh,
Holding on together, oh oh oh,
Feeling so much better oh oh oh,
When everything was wrong and everything was gone
We ran to Avalon.

I fought till I had no fight left,
Risked my death,
Walked with conviction in everyone of my steps,
My strengths water enough,
To wash away any of the stains on my rep,
Yeah, I fought off vultures,
Went against odds when I was short on soldiers,
I asked not for my burden to be lightened
but if I may have broader shoulders
so as I may carry the weight all the doubt I had in me has been allayed
so from now til the day that I'm carried away I will never walk around what stands in my way
fuck if they ain't letting off cos neither will I
When I die from the ashes an eagle will rise
long as my blade and my faith keep me alive
Fear is something that you won’t see in my eyes

Shaun stands, leaning on the ring ropes and looking out at the crowd, almost in disbelief at the level of noise which is all for him. He then walks over to a turn buckle and begins to climb it.

We'll be kings forever, oh oh oh,
Holding on together, oh oh oh,
Feeling so much better oh oh oh,
When everything was wrong and everything was gone
We ran to Avalon

He raises his arm, another explosion rocking the ring side area.

I left competion out for the count no abacus
Fought for the crowd, fought down challengers
When my massacre was ordained I remained through pain forged my sword,
I left competion out for the count no abacus
Fought for the crowd, fought down challengers
When my massacre was ordained I remained through pain forged my sword, my Excalibur

He climbs down, clapping once again in appreciation for the fans, before turning his focus to the match in hand, a determined smile forming on his face.

Knots: “I think I’m going to be sick... Bleh.”

Cruze shakes hands with the official of the match before beginning to test the ropes when the opening piano for Blitzkrieg by Deathstars begins to bellow out from the P.A system capturing the SCW universe's attention and Shaun Cruze as Aiken slowly walks out with a smirk on his face. He is dressed in an all black suit, with tailcoat and top hat finishing off the appearance. In his hand is a long walking cane which he holds confidently. Boo's begin to fill the arena as he slowly walks down towards the ring with a confident swagger in his step before drawing to a stop and glaring at Shaun Cruze for a moment before turning to face the entrance. As the crowd continues to jeer he extends his arm pointing to the stage entrance nodding with a grin, the music now exploding into full swing as the camera focuses on Aiken who raises the canes handle to his lips and seems to flick a switch revealing it to be a microphone...

Aiken: "Ladies and Gentleman, children of all ages. Allow me to introduce to you a man whose sole purpose is to destroy. He has no empathy for his opponents, and you will witness this first hand each and every night as he walks down to this ring to show off brutality you never knew existed. Because even though we are two days from April first ladies and gentleman, standing in that ring is the biggest fool of them all."

The crowd continues to boo as Aiken points at Cruze who moves forward and yells for Aiken to hurry up.

Aiken: "How quaint, so eager to suffer... So be it, now with the pleasantries out of the way, without further ado... He stands at a giant six feet, ten inches and weighs a little less than four hundred pounds. I give to you, the destroyer of all of your hopes and dreams - HE IS BLITZKRIEG!!!"

*BOOM*

Pyro explodes on the stage as the curtains part and out walks Blitzkrieg. He glares from the top of the stage looking out to the crowd from behind his mask; the negative reception only fuels him more as he then looks down the ramp towards Aiken who is pointing towards the ring. BLITZKRIEG nods and he walks down the ramp past Aiken who now follows him before stopping at the bottom of the ramp watching. Blitzkrieg uses the ropes and pulls himself onto the apron as Shaun Cruze backs up into a corner showing no fear, as he then steps over the top rope before walking to and stopping in the middle of the ring and cracking his knuckles as he awaits the bell.

Knots: “See Aiken got it right, Cruze is a fool if he thinks he’s going to end Blitzkriegs streak tonight!”

Sharper: “If anyone can pull off that feat, it’s certainly Shaun Cruze that’s for sure, and we’re about to find out.”

The bell sounds and the crowd erupts instantly into a “Let’s go Cruze” chant as Blitzkrieg charges across the ring to corner him, but he ducks out of the way behind the big man who stops himself. Shaun hops from one foot to another as Blitzkrieg turns around, Cruze motioning for the big man to come at him again with a confident smile. Blitzkrieg charges across the ring again catching nothing but air because Shaun side steps him again and moves to his original corner getting another pop from the crowd as Blitzkrieg slams his hand into the turnbuckle.

Sharper:” Shaun Cruze said he had a game plan leading into this match, he was going to make the big man come to him and force mistakes so he can capitalize. So far it all looks like it’s going to plan.”

Knots: “When will people learn, pissing Blitz off will only get them so far, once he catches you its game over man, game over!”

Sharper: “Maybe so, but Cruze is tough as brass, he’s taken on the best SCW has had and lived to tell the tale.”

Knots: “Yes true, but none of them were that man standing across from him.”

Blitz slowly starts to make his way towards Cruze, Aiken moving around the ring a little and forcing Shaun to take his eyes of Blitzkrieg for just a moment. He looks back as Blitzkrieg charges and literally dodges a bullet or in this case a Meat hook clothesline from Blitz as he hits nothing but turnbuckle. Cruze then charges back into the fray and leaps up hitting a drop kick to the back of Blitzkrieg pushing him into the corner further before getting back to his feet and spinning the big man around and throwing a series of punches and kicks into the body of Blitzkrieg over and over again, Blitzkrieg doing nothing but blocking as many shots he can.

Sharper: “Shaun Cruze really coming out of the gates early here, solid punches and kicks to the mid-section.”

Blitzkrieg goes for another clothesline attempt out of the corner, but Cruze ducks under that and strikes a stiff kick to the leg of Blitz’s. He kicks again as the big man now stumbles back a little to the middle of the ring. Another kick from Cruze makes Blitzkrieg look uneasy on his feet a little more now, so Cruze charges the ropes and runs across to hit a flying clothesline at the four-hundred pound monster only to look like he hit a brick wall as Blitzkrieg stands firm and Cruze hits the canvas hard.

Knots: “Two-hundred and twenty-five pounds isn’t equal to three-hundred and ninety pounds, Cruze just demonstrated to us what happens to a fly when it hits the windscreen of a moving car.”

Sharper: “God that man is just a freak of nature.”

Cruze looks up at Blitzkrieg and is quick to roll away from the big man and get back to his feet near the ropes. We can just see a grin appear on the face of Aiken from ringside as Blitzkrieg starts to approach Shaun once again. Cruze manages to avoid a lunge and clubs the back of Blitzkrieg which doesn’t have any real affect on him. He turns around and grabs a hold of Shaun by the throat and lifts him up with both hands but Cruze manages to kick off of Blitzkriegs chest with a modified drop kick sending the big man stumbling back and releasing his hold.

Sharper: “Memories of what Blitzkrieg did to Amelia Robson began to flash back then when he held her by the throat. Cruze realizing what could happen and reacts instinctively.”

Knots: “It’s only going to work for so long though; we’ve seen it on five different occasions, once he hits you with something once. You better be able to get up otherwise you’re more or less screwed.”

Cruze quickly gets to his feet as Blitzkrieg holds his chest, he runs across the ring and connects with another drop kick which sends Blitzkrieg swaying back again. Cruze connects with a kick to the leg of the monster, and again bringing him down to one knee which gets a roaring response from the crowd in the early goings of this match. Cruze sensing how things could go hits the ropes again and leaps up and connecting with a shining wizard but Blitzkrieg still refuses to go down...

Sharper: “Are you kidding me, what is it going to take to knock him off his feet?!”

Knots: “An eighteen wheeler, a tank, a nuclear bomb? Pick one!”

Outside the ring Aiken is watching on with slight concern on his face as Cruze applies a front face lock and twists himself out hitting a twist of fate on the big man now driving him into the canvas finally! The crowd erupts as Cruze rolls to his knees and quickly rolls Blitzkrieg onto his back and covers.

1... Kick out by Blitzkrieg! Before the one could even happen, the monster throws Cruze off him almost effortlessly. The crowd buzzing as he sits up and shakes his head to relief of Aiken at ringside. The voice of the monster slaps the mat barking orders at Blitzkrieg which Cruze hears and in turns looks across the ring at Aiken who glares back. Blitzkrieg however gets to his feet along with Cruze, the near seven footer locking into a grapple with Cruze which there was only one clear cut winner from the get go. Blitzkrieg whips Cruze into the nearest corner with authority and follows up with a huge avalanche splash crushing Cruze between his body and the corner. The crowd oooh’s as Blitzkrieg grabs Cruze with both hands around his throat and hurls him up and over across the ring very much like a ragdoll.

Sharper: “Cruze launched out of the corner, he’s in a spot he really doesn’t want to be in right nowl”

Cruze arches his back in pain as he starts to get to his feet only to get taken down with a clothesline from the big man. Blitzkrieg then steps on the chest of Cruze putting his full weight on his chest and sternum before stepping off to jeer’s from the crowd. He then pulls Cruze up with one hand to his feet and throws a stiff right shot to the ribs, and then a left before hitting a European uppercut sending Cruze towards the ropes. Blitzkrieg sees an opportunity, and takes it running across the ring going for a clothesline to take Cruze over, but the former Adrenaline and Us Champion grabs the top rope and Blitzkrieg goes up and over to the outside with a crash, on that note the crowd erupts.

Sharper: “Cruze lying in wait now for Blitzkrieg to get to his feet.”

Blitz does just that as well, and glares into the ring at Cruze who is waiting patiently, not looking to make a similar mistake like Blitzkrieg did. The near four-hundred pounder starts to climb the apron using the ropes to do it, but Cruze runs across and baseball slides through the legs of Blitzkrieg and lands on his feet. He then pulls out the legs of the monster from under him and he drops down smacking his face off the apron with a crack!

Knots: “Jesus Christ, I felt that from here!”

Sharper: “Cruze outsmarting Blitzkrieg yet again and now looks like he could have things in control.”

Aiken starts to make his way around the ring, and Cruze see’s this and begins to make a beeline towards him. But the manager stops in his tracks and backs up and smiles innocently enough and shakes his head. Cruze turns his attention back to Blitzkrieg who is already starting to get up to his feet and catches him with a chop to the chest. Cruze hits another as the official starts to count both men out. [1...] Shaun pulls Blitzkrieg away from the ring. [2...] Cruze tries to push Blitzkrieg’s back into the Apron, but the monster doesn’t move an inch. [3...] Blitz hammers a clubbing blow to the back of Cruze dropping him to a knee. [4...] Blitzkrieg hits another before pulling Cruze up and hitting a vicious open hand slap to his chest with authority.

Sharper: “Yikes, that’s going to leave a mark!”

Knots: “You can already see the welt from here”

[6...] the welt from the slap certainly is forming as Blitzkrieg pulls Cruze up again, but Cruze throws an elbow before trying to get away. [7...] Blitzkrieg reaches and grabs Cruze, but he fires back with a mule kick to the gut of Blitzkrieg doubling him over. [8...] Cruze turns around and hits a crescent kick to the side of Blitzkriegs head, the big man flying into the apron onto his knees. [9...] Cruze slides into the ring as the official looks on and before the ten count, Blitzkrieg manages to get into the ring with just milliseconds to spare!

Sharper: “Oh my god, I thought Cruze had it there!”

Knots: “Thank god, that was to close for comfort!”

Blitzkrieg rolls onto his back holding his face as Cruze gets to his feet and runs across the ring and leaping onto the middle rope and flips back connecting with a lionsault on the big man. Blitzkrieg tries to roll away, but Cruze lunges on top of him and covers.

1...

2-Kick out by Blitzkrieg!! The crowd audibly sighs as Cruze is thrown off again. He holds his head having hoped that might have been it and quickly gets to his feet and heads to the apron and scales the turnbuckle and looks down on Blitzkrieg who continues to lay there. With the crowd buzzing with excitement, the cameras flash as Cruze leaps off for a Swanton Bomb; however he catches nothing but canvas as Blitzkrieg rolls into the corner. Shaun arches his back again in pain before rolling onto his front, while now Blitzkrieg starts to get to his feet instead, his eyes focused intently on a downed Shaun Cruze.

Knots: “Here we go now; this is it he has his target locked.”

Sharper: “Cruze better be careful now, he can’t afford to take his eyes of the big man...”

Cruze starts to get up to his hands and knees, and as he does gets a stiff kick to his side causing him to rolls across the ring holding his rib area. Blitzkrieg doesn’t hesitate as he charges across again kicking Cruze as now as he pulls Shaun up and lifts him up into the air with a military press! Blitzkrieg holds him up for a few seconds showing off his strength as Aiken sprints around the ring and when in place yells for him to drop him. But Blitzkrieg doesn’t drop him in the ring, he drops him outside and Cruze lands hard on the one inch matting with a thud!

Sharper: “Blitzkrieg listening to every order Aiken instructs, he could have put him in the ring but no. He just HAD to toss him over the ropes to the outside.”

Knots: “Exactly, it takes a man of Blitzkrieg size to send a message to someone like Shaun Cruze. You need a man of his stature to drill home the truth. Tonight isn’t going to be your night “Fella!”

The sound of Knots laughing at his own mocking of Cruze is loud enough for the moment but gets drowned out as the official starts to count, but that’s cut short as Blitzkrieg turns to face the referee who quickly stops and backs away not even trying to get on the monsters bad side. Blitzkrieg exits the ring now as Cruze tries to get to his feet, but only gets a stiff kick again to the ribs before being brought to his feet and dragged towards the ring only to be thrown body first into the security barrier. Cruze cries out in pain as he lands and holds his back again. The assault on Cruze continues with Blitzkrieg pulling him to his feet and scoops him up and walks to the aisle.

Sharper: “What’s he going to do with Cruze now?!”

Knots: “He’s eyeing up those steel steps so hopefully something excruciatingly painful!”

Aiken barks more orders at Blitzkrieg who looks set to send Cruze flying towards the nearby steel steps with a fall away slam. But the booing from the crowd starts to change to cheers as all eyes start to focus onto the stage here in Portland tonight.

Sharper: “It’s the Watsons!”

Knots: “Again?! Don’t they ever learn?!”

Blitzkrieg sees both men standing at the top of the stage and tosses Cruze to the floor and moves to the aisle looking up at them both. Aiken stands alongside Blitzkrieg and looks up at the cousins and shakes his head, unknown to them though that Cruze is starting to get back to his feet. He then takes a few steps forward, but then turns and rolls into the ring to recover a little more instructing the official to count which he does. Blitzkrieg doesn’t realize at first as the official reaches [4...], then [5...], and finally [6..]. Aiken however does and yells at Blitzkrieg who is in the middle of the aisle now and starts to run back to the ring only to get back in on [9...] once again!

Sharper: “Again with the near count out! Cruze almost stole it and it was due to the Watsons at the ramp this time.”

Aiken is glaring at both men as he backs up towards the ring shaking his head, and starting to focus back on the action. Cruze on his feet with Blitzkrieg in the corner, the Brit hitting vicious chops to the chest now as things begin to pick up the pace. Cruze attempts an Irish whip, but Blitzkrieg counters sending Cruze instead. But he runs up the corner and somersaults over an incoming Blitzkrieg who catches nothing but corner, the ring shaking from the impact. The crowd begin to get behind Cruze emphatically as now Both Watsons are slowly walking down towards the ring.

Knots: “Great, those two are going to screw over the best thing to hit this company since Next Level and Dark Fantasy teaming up!”

Blitzkrieg turns around into a drop kick that sends him back into the corner, Cruze then climbs the second rope and begins to hammer away with shots to the face, the crowd counting along with him.

1...

2....

3...

At ringside Aiken turns to see both Watsons near him and quickly backs away as they talk amongst themselves.

4...

Sharper: “Both Watsons looking to get their hands on Aiken, he’s been incredibly vocal to them over twitter in recent weeks.”

Knots: “Rightfully so as well, they’re morons who need to learn they are out of their league!”

5...

6...

The official now starts to move closer as he counts.

7...

8...

Shaun Cruze reaches nine and jumps down to the canvas and backs up as Blitzkrieg looks to be wincing a little now. The big man slowly walks out to the middle of the ring; Cruze hits the ropes and leaps across this time a leaping clothesline going in his favour as he knocks Blitzkrieg off his feet to a huge roar from the crowd! Cruze drags Blitzkrieg to the corner and scales it before quickly leaping off with a Swanton bomb, this time connecting perfectly before covering.

1...

2...

3? No Kick out by Blitzkrieg! The monster throws Cruze off him with ferocity as he rolls over to his hands and knees and begins to get to his feet. Cruze backs up and goes for another dropkick but is swatted away by a now standing Blitzkrieg who reaches down and drags Cruze to his feet before scooping him up and dropping him to the canvas with a side slam. Not content with that Blitzkrieg pulls Cruze up again and whips him to the ropes and follows up with a clothesline sending Cruze back over to the outside, the Brit landing and rolling into the aisle.

Sharper: “All hell looking to break loose, Blitzkriegs lost it!”

Knots: “He wants to end this match bad; he knows the Watsons have something planned for Aiken!”

The crowd boo as Aiken jogs around to the aisle as well now while Blitzkrieg drops to the outside and starts to slowly stalk Cruze who begins to get to his feet. All the while the Watson’s walk around the ring and the referee begins to count.

1...

2...

Cruze lunges at Blitzkrieg who blocks and goes for a right hand of his own, only for Cruze to duck the shot and take out the back of Blitzkriegs leg with a dropkick.

3...

4...

Blitz on one knee now starts to show signs of fatigue as Cruze gets back to his and goes straight onto the offensive with clubs the back of him over and over.

5...

6...

Blitzkrieg gets to his feet and pushes Cruze into the nearby barrier as Aiken barks more orders at him to destroy him, to crush him. The fans are roaring now as the official continues to count both men.

7...

Sharper: “Neither man is letting up out there now!”

Knots: “Aiken, do something, make him get back in the ring?!”

8...

9...

Blitzkrieg grabs Cruze and starts to drag him further up the aisle towards the ramp and then onto the stage. The official finally hits 10 and the bell sounds, and on that note we see both Ryan and Thomas Watson sprint past Aiken, Thomas knocking him down to the ground as they then leap onto the back of Blitzkrieg at the top of the ramp way.

Knots: “I knew it! They want to injure him; it’s 3 on 1 now!”

Sharper: “Pandemonium on the stage as Aiken is down and Cruze, Ryan and Thomas Watson out number Blitzkrieg!”

On the stage all three men start to assault Blitzkrieg on the stage, lefts, rights, kicks clubbing blows you name it. While in the Aisle Aiken is starting to get back to his feet, and grabbing his cane and starts to show signs of concern more as he sees what it happening to his monster. The fans continue to cheer as both Ryan Watson and Shaun Cruze grab a hold of Blitzkrieg and hold him up as Thomas Watson backs up a little.

Sharper: “What’s he going to do, this can’t be good for Blitzkrieg?!”

Knots: “Security, somebody do something!”

Blitzkrieg seems to fatigue to do anything as Thomas Watson sets himself up for a super kick, he slams his foot onto the stage once, then again and lunges forward but there’s no roar from the crowd, there is only silence as Thomas Watson flies off the stage to the concrete below unconscious no thanks to...

Sharper: “TATUM MCGRAW, What the hell!?!”

Knots: “Oh thank god, I’ve never been happier to see a Texan!”

In her hand is the Underground Championship she just used to clock Thomas Watson as she sprinted out from behind the curtain in a nick of time. Ryan Watson and Cruze both look at her in shock, Ryan letting go of Blitzkrieg now and running over to her. But from a blind side we see Aiken lunge out of nowhere now and drive his cane into the throat of Ryan Watson dropping him like a ton of bricks, clutching his throat.

Knots: “YES! Thats it!!”

Sharper: “Just like that the tides have turned!”

Cruze doesn’t get a chance to let go of Blitzkrieg who suddenly seems to find a second wind and pulls scoops Shaun up and holds him for a moment before hitting a fall away slam into the screens at stage level .

Sharper: “Dear god, get security out there now before...”

Knots: “Before what?! Before they hurt someone, what about the Watsons?!”

Blitzkrieg reaches down to grab Ryan Watson, but Aiken smacks his hand away with the cane as the crowd in Portland boo the three standing on the stage. Aiken grins manically almost as he hooks the cane cable around his wrist and lifts up both arms for Tatum and Blitzkrieg.

Sharper: “What the hell is that woman doing, why on earth is she siding with those two?”

Knots: “I don’t know, but there has to be a reason and I bet it’s a good one!”

SCW’s cameras then zoom in on the three before going to a commercial break...

COMMERCIAL:

Knots: “Oh for the love of…”

Sharper: “Hurse! The man who claims Jake Starr had a part to play in him losing his passion! He could get a chance!”

Knots: “But he’s going to Porno Lad’s house, the idiot! He’s not here.”

Sharper: “Well…he better hurry!”

"IF I HAD MY WAY, WE'D NEVER CLOSE OUR EYES!"

The noise is deafening as "We'd never close our Eyes" by Adam Lambert is heard as a black, metallic ribbon is seen on the big screen, wrapping around into the symbol of infinity. The name "Shilo Valiant" is shown with shots of his past matches, moments and victories.

"I wish that this night would never be over
There’s plenty of time to sleep when we die"

The ribbon is shown again, unraveling to reveal the name "Marina Trent", with many clips shown of the Black Swan and her success.

"So let’s just stay awake until we grow older

"If I had my way we’d never close our eyes, our eyes, never!"

A series of fireworks shoot up from the sides towards the center of the ramp before one large set of fireworks go off of red, blue, gold and white as Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent appear from behind the curtain, Marina in her Black Swan attire, while Shilo adorns his jester mask and black, hooded leather long-coat. As the music builds up, Shilo quickly spins Marina towards him, Trent stopping in front of him for a moment before Marina lowers down to a knee, her back to Shilo's leg. As Shilo lifts his hand up, looking to the heavens, a spotlight shins on the two, gold and silver sparkles of fireworks descending upon Eternal, seemingly from the spotlight.

Knots: “When Romeo and Juliet meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Something tells me that Leatherface and Juliet weren’t going to see eye to eye!”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Knots: “You’ve got a mute in Shilo and he always wears a mask! Marina has no reason to even pretend to care for him. He’s no longer the bastard kid of Benito Mussolini. He’s not entertaining or whatever crap he used to spill.”

"I don’t wanna let a minute get away
Cause we got no time to lose
None of us are promised to see tomorrow
And what we do is ours to choose"

As the last of the fireworks fall, Shilo helps Marina up to her feet before the pair make their way down to the ring. Holding her hand up, Marina suddenly stops Shilo from advancing. The masked jester merely stands where he is as Marina slowly backs up towards the ring, her eyes fixated on the Blood-Stained Joker as she climbs up the apron onto the ring, the spotlight splitting into two. WIth a quick smile, the Mistress of the Mist flips her body over the ropes, landing gracefully into the ring.

"Forget about the sunrise
Fight the sleep in your eyes
I don’t wanna miss a second with you
Let’s stay this way forever
It’s only getting better if we want it to"

Leaning forward over the ropes, Marina calls for her lover to enter. As she stands on the ropes, Shilo runs towards the ring, sliding under the ropes, as well as Marina, and into the center of the ring, looking back at Marina then the crowd.

"You know I wish that this night would never be over
There’s plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let’s just stay awake until we grow older"

As Shilo gets to his feet and the lights continue to dance around the arena as the spotlight becomes one again, Marina is by the jester's side, before turning and asking for a microphone. She is handed it and she turns to the middle of the ring as a blue hew with one spotlight shines over the arena. The spotlight stays on the ring and Marina and Shilo.

Marina: “Behold all the site of Eternal. We have taken on attacks from behind and even the efforts of one man to choke the Blood Jester out for good and yet here we are. It seems that we have become a popular target following Riding the Lightning. I dispose of Damian Angel. Both of us are synonymous now with the upper echelons of this business. The Women’s Championship. The World Championship…the World Tag Team Championship?”

The crowd roars a bit.

Marina: “That’s what this was about for the World Tag Team Champions, David Helms and Tommy Valentine. The most proficient frauds in the business today. Two former heroes that changed their spots for sins of the flesh. All good for you. But now to claim that you came after us because you figured we would demand a shot. We needed to demand nothing. You knew we were a threat and that is exactly what you figured you would be doing with all of these attacks and match pronouncements. Take out a threat. A clear threat to your titles. Time and time again…Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent…threats to Dark Fantasy…to the World Tag Team Championship. Now I just need to swap the Fantastic for going to the Next Level. And yet you do the same as they would. Blindside attacks, cheap shots…and bullish bravado.”

Shilo just looks around as he stands behind Marina Trent.

Marina: “It is interesting to see how you’ll do the same that those two have tried against us. Have you not noticed that things have changed. Shilo Valiant, I don’t even have to say much about him being changed since last summer…”

Marina pauses and stops for a minute before then continuing.

Marina: “And I have shown what a Women’s Champion who is unafraid can do. I have shown just how good I can be, working my way to the World Championship not through words, but through actions. I was close the first try…next time I won’t fail, but until that moment, you gift us an opportunity for the World Tag Team Championship. Well, David, Tommy, I hope you plan to cripple us both because all you have done is given us all of the ammunition to end your reign at the top. You’ve waited years to be champion. Now you want to fire a pre-emptive shot against us. All that’s done…is awaken the Jester and the Swan. Your Golden Goose will end and you can just remember the Tag Team Championship reign, much like your female companions as a distant memory-“

#Rrwoooaaaw!#

“Hell” begins to play before we see the lights start to return to normal as Thirteen walks out from the back, dressed in his robe, hood over his head. A smirk is seen as he steps out onto the stage and looks down at Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent. Marina turns to Shilo and turns to him as Shilo just turns and stares at a hole at Thirteen.

Knots: “Well how about that. We got company.”

Sharper: “Shilo’s glare at Thirteen says it all!”

Thirteen reveals a microphone as he looks at Shilo and Marina.

Thirteen: “A nice speech Marina. I’m sure that David Helms and Tommy Valentine have taken their notes and considered their battle plan against you. I for one may enjoy watching them try to hack you two down at every point along the way until Riding the Lightning Night One. But I am out here for another reason.”

Thirteen smiles.

Thirteen: “I see that you are quite conscious right now Shilo. Breakdown goes off the air and you’re lifeless in my hands! And just think, a few days earlier, you could have simply chosen to nod in approval, realizing that you were no longer the dominant force you once were. Instead, you chose to, well, act like the two individuals you want to proclaim yourself better than and take a cheap shot. The Nocturnal Mist. I beat you fair in that ring and you could not leave without getting the last laugh. In fact, I would like to hear you laugh now. Come on Shilo.”

Shilo just continues to look at Thirteen. Marina just turns to Shilo before going to respond.

Thirteen: “Unless Shilo has gotten far more effeminate, I do not want to hear from you Marina. Shilo needs to realize that this is no longer his roost. He no longer can’t assume he will get the last laugh and I will tell you why. Watch the end of the last Breakdown. Put it up on the screen…”

Thirteen just points to the big screen as Shilo continues to just watch.

LAST BREAKDOWN – March 23, 2013:

Marina gets up and has her arm raised before we see the SCW World Tag Team Champions, David Helms and Tommy Valentine slide into the ring. Helms quickly nails Marina in the back of the head with the SCW World Tag Team Championship belt. Tommy turns and watches Shilo as Shilo then turns and hops onto the apron and goes to enter the ring, but Thirteen suddenly grabs him by the leg and pulls him out before locking in the Last Breath. He pulls him back and Shilo struggles, falling back into the announce table before both fall to the ground.

Knots: “It’s fun watching him struggle.”

Sharper: “The end of Breakdown and Thirteen directly preventing Shilo Valiant from helping his partner Marina Trent with the Last Breath…”

Tommy smirks before Helms grabs Marina and hoists her up from behind into an inverted death valley driver position before flipping her up and Tommy jumps in and catches her with the Griever’s Bane. The crowd ohs and Tommy and Helms then turn and exit to the apron. The crowd roars. We then cut to show Tommy diving off and hitting the Valkyrie’s Beckon. The crowd ohs and boos and Tommy then gets up as Marina is laid out. Shilo is unconscious as Thirteen continues to keep the Last Breath on. Tommy then grabs his Tag Team Championship belt and Helms grabs his. They then smirk as the crowd boos.

We return to a live shot as the crowd boos as Shilo continues to just look at Thirteen.

Thirteen: “One poor decision and you had to be directly responsible for the temporary destruction of your partner, Marina. And see, until I hear it from your own mouth-“

Marina: “He can-“

Thirteen: “I don’t care. That will just mean his foolishness will be paid even greater in kind. Because until you announce to me that you realize this is no longer your spotlight, your stage, and you now need to compete with others like me…realizing your actions have consequences…not just petty entertainment…”

The crowd boos.

Thirteen: “Every match, every opportunity, I will be there and I will ensure you end that night incapacitated. I will ensure that you end every match unconscious…and every match I will ensure you breathe your Last Breath. And next time, maybe you’ll actually show some class in defeat…instead of ruining your career like you nearly tried to do me by blinding me.”

Thirteen smiles before turning to Marina.

Thirteen: “And Marina…good luck in your impending World Tag Team Championship opportunity.”

Thirteen turns and walks off as “Hell” starts to play in the background. The crowd boos as Shilo continues to just look at Thirteen. Marina just glares at him too before turning back to Shilo. Shilo does not take his eyes off the stage.

Sharper: “And that rivalry may be looking to get more and more personal.”

Knots: “Or Thirteen is just going to have fun much like Shilo Valiant used to do back in the day.”

Sharper: “Either way, not good for Eternal and especially Shilo Valiant.”

Knots: “Oh my God! Helms and Starr! Helms has made Starr his bitch!”

Sharper: “But he may have to face Syren then if he wins tonight and wins on Night One!”

Knots: “Um…ah…”

Sharper: “Yeah, well, Helms is added to a hell of a list of people in that battle royal. We’ll announce more. The US Championship match still to come! What a night Breakdown is going to be!”

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as we see Marisa Condolesa standing with Ravyn Taylor and CHBK outside of the Next Level/Dark Fantasy locker room. The crowd boos upon seeing them.

Condolesa: “I am here with Ravyn Taylor and later tonight, we’re going to see you defend your United States Championship against Christian Savior. Any thoughts as we head into this encounter?”

Ravyn: “Not at all. I mean Savior wanted to use his rematch clause against me and he’s got some plan to hand out title shots after. I mean, it’s the story of my life. I lose a title, I’m knocked out of contention. Oh wait…that presumes a few things like I will lose this…”

Ravyn holds up the US Championship.

Ravyn: “Think what you may Savior, but I’m going to keep this belt for a long time and you’re going to try and outthink us and outdo us, but the fact remains, I outthought you once, I can very well do it again.”

CHBK then steps forward.

CHBK: “Oh…I should offer a comment or two on Savior…well, actually, I don’t care about him. More his ally. David Miller. He may have noticed that he’s been a bit scarce backstage. I wonder why that is. Perhaps he knows he’s outmanned, outgunned…or other reasons. Regardless Savior, I’ll be at ringside to watch you attempt to retake what is allegedly your title. Good luck Christian. Don’t let her curves fool you. She’s a fine champion.”

CHBK smirks.

Condolesa: “Thank you CHBK and Ravyn. Let’s go to ringside.”

We head to ringside.

Sharper: “What was that about? What does that mean?”

Knots: “Oh stop reading into it. CHBK is just an observant fellow. He notices things like that.”

Sharper: “David Miller has not been noticed…I don’t like the sound of this.”

Night & Day (Joseph Englider & Aurora Sominiare) vs. The Perfect World (Robert Joseph Kelly & Shaya Blackley)

"Are you awake?"
"To see the Stars?!"

The man and the women scream as a moon and a sun appear on the titantron, crashing together and fusing to form the familiar symbol as the words "Night and Day" spell out in front of them!

"All of the day all of the night
You do the things
That make me feel so right
My shining star my shining light
And that's the day and night babe"

As "Day and Night" by Billie Piper blares along the sound system, the masses erupt and cheer as the technicians roll a black carpet up the rampway. The carpet is covered with silver stars with red blood stains in the middle of each one. As the tech leave the area, a bright spotlight goes up the carpet and ramp before dividing in two, each going to the opposite ends of the ramp-platform. From the left side, a fog begins to emerge from below, at the same time a shower of white sparks begins to fall onto the spotlight on the right. As the song progresses, the two spotlights move closer to the center before finally merging into one single spotlight.

As they do, from the fog rises the forms of Joseph Englider and Aurora Somniaire, the latter of the two holding her gloved hand out to catch some of the "falling stars" into her hand as the sparks fall down upon them. The mixing of the light and dark seems to only excite the fans as the team of "Night and Day" step out of the mist and lights and onto the carpet, the spotlight following them as they do.

As they make their way down the ramp, Englider remains focused on the ring while Aurora turns to greet a fan or two, taking their hands with hers and speaking with them. She stops by a small child and shares a moment of "making a wish" with the young one, her eyes closed, like the child's before opening them and leaving the grateful parent and fan before rushing back down the carpeted rampway to catchup with Englider, who waits for her at the bottom of the ramp.

Sparing a look at his partner, Englider slides into the ring, throwing his hood back as he gets to his feet. As he does, he moves over to the ropes to help Aurora into the ring. Guiding her to the center of the ring, Englider then moves away to the turnbuckle to climb it to view the audience, quietly asking if "They are awake" as Aurora twirls once around the ring, her hands raised up to the fans surrounding the ring and the wrestlers inside it.

Sharper: “About to see some tag team action here and what is shaping up to be an action-packed and very memorable Breakdown. Adrenaline Championship match has happened. US Title still to be decided and then a ten person battle royal.”

Knots: “Yeah and with a title shot on the line from it, you’d think everyone’s going to take it easy. It’s got to have changed some people’s gameplans. Especially since ANYONE can be in it.”

Sharper: “But that’s thing. It’s random. You don’t know until your name is called.”

A strum of a guitar…

The lights in the arena suddenly begin to flicker…The lights stop flickering and soon, the arena blacks out, leaving everything within it shrouded in complete darkness. As it does, a soft whisper is heard…

“Can you feel that?

You better hold on

This one's about to get bumpy…”

Suddenly, the tune that is “Hell Yeah” by Rev Theory explodes through the PA system with the laugh that follows the whispered lyrics and the song kicks in hard throughout the arena. The arena lights up and a red light illuminates the entrance ramp and “Pierna del Diablo” Shaya Blackley pushes through the curtains with energy in every movement, enjoying the intensity of her entrance music. She hops on the balls of her feet. Robert Joseph Kelly walks out with her and looks out as well as the crowd cheers both.

Shaya struts down to ringside with swagger in every step, making sure to high five a few fans along the way. Robert Joseph Kelly follows out as well and looks at the ring. Once inside the ring, Shaya looks out to the audience and ascends one of the buckles and the cheers only grow louder as she strikes a pose for the crowd before turning her attention back to the ring. RJK hops onto the apron and goes to the near turnbuckles and looks around.

She drops down and moves to the centre of the ring before turning to RJK and the two of them talk strategy while watching Englider and Aurora.

Sharper: “RJK and Blackley about to team officially for the first time here. Time to see if the Perfect World can get something going perhaps in the Tag Division.”

Knots: “Well Blackley tried at the Women’s Division and got her ass kicked. Let’s try against Night and Day…two pissed off people.”

Sharper: “The Academy starting up last Breakdown. The solution created by Aurora Sominiare to placate Joseph Englider as he has been frustrated with his start so far.”

Knots: “I’m just happy that Johnny Dollar isn’t out here. That bastard is annoying.”

The bell sounds and Englider stays in the ring. Aurora exits. RJK stays in as well and the crowd roars a bit. The two start to move around the ring and then look up and the veteran grabs Kelly’s arm and jerks on it. Kelly winces. Englider wrenches it again and jerks on the arm before clubbing RJK in the back. He then elbows him in the shoulder and RJK reaches up, but Englider jerks on it again. He then turns and moves into a hammerlock. RJK reaches down and pulls him down by the leg. Englider shoves him off with the other boot. RJK runs into the ropes and Englider rolls towards him. RJK hops over and bounces off the other side and Englider gets up and goes for a back elbow. RJK ducks and stops. Englider turns around and RJK nails him with a shot to the ribs and then a hard right to the jaw before a back elbow. Englider stumbles back to the Perfect World corner. RJK kicks Englider in the ribs and nails him with a hard right. He then kicks him again and Englider drops down to a seated position. RJK tags in Shaya before he turns and lifts her up and over the top rope before spinning her around and throwing her feet first into Englider with a dropkick. Shaya rolls back and the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Nice double team move. That assisted dropkick by Blackley and she gets Englider in a bad way to start her entry into the match.”

Knots: “I think Kelly copped a feel!”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Knots: “I think he likes the girl and this is why he wants the tag team. That explains the help for the Women’s Championship too.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Shaya walks over and Englider starts to get up and Shaya grabs him and nails him with a forearm and then another. Englider shoves her off and Shaya runs across the ring. She bounces off the ropes and jumps up and nails him with a flying forearm. Englider hits the mat and Shaya goes for the pin.

Englider kicks out. Englider rolls over and starts to get up. Shaya grabs him and kicks him in the ribs. Englider winces and falls to the ropes. Shaya goes to whip him into the ropes, but Englider spins through and sends Shaya in. Shaya bounces off and Englider jumps up and drills her with a vicious dropkick. The crowd ohs and Englider gets up. He drags her to the corner and tags in Aurora. Aurora climbs up to the top rope. She then turns around and hits a moonsault onto Shaya.

Sharper: “Great moonsault! Aurora Sominiaire hits that beautifully into the pin!”

Kelly pulls her off. Englider turns and goes to go after him, but Kelly exits the ring. Shaya rolls over as Aurora gets up.

Knots: “Kelly’s just copping feels everywhere!”

Aurora turns and hits a leg drop on Shaya. She gets up as Shaya stirs. Aurora drags her up and whips her into the ropes. Shaya bounces off and Aurora hits a hip toss on the rebound. She runs into the ropes and bounces off the ropes and Shaya rolls towards her. Aurora flips over her and rolls through to the ropes. Shaya hops up and Aurora gets up and goes for a flying headscissors. Shaya rolls through and both get up. Aurora goes for a crucifix, but Shaya counters with a Samoan drop. Englider tells Aurora to go for the tag. She gets up and instead turns to Shaya only for Shaya to do a handstand and kick Aurora in the face. Aurora stumbles back to Englider. Englider tags himself in and enters. Kelly warns Shaya only for her to turn around and Englider clotheslines her down. He goes for the pin.

Shaya kicks out. She turns and Englider grabs her and locks her in a reverse chinlock.

Sharper: “Englider now locking in that chinlock. He saw Aurora was in trouble, got in and now put this back in his control.”

Knots: “Well he wants to win. That’s what he wants to do! He wants to win!”

Sharper: “And after the Retribution pre-show, do you blame him?”

Knots: “No? But then again, he shouldn’t blame his problems on others. That’s just in poor taste! Not a way to make friends!”

Sharper: “Well you’d know.”

RJK looks on as Shaya reaches out. The crowd is split as some boo as Shaya starts to stir while some others cheer her on as she slowly gets her feet under her. The veteran however stops and forearms her in the back before dropping her with a neckbreaker. He goes for the pin.

RJK runs in and breaks it up with a leg drop. He rolls over and gets up and Englider gets up as Aurora goes to enter and throws a punch towards RJK, but RJK moves out of the way and drops to the floor. He gets up as Shaya then reaches up and rolls Englider up with a small package.

Aurora enters and shoves her over, turning the pin around.

Shaya kicks out. Aurora backs up and exits. Shaya gets to her feet as Englider does too. He turns and runs into the ropes and bounces off and Shaya nails him with a jumping spin kick to the jaw. She drops down and starts to crawl for the ropes.

Sharper: “Could Shaya be finally able to get to the tag?”

Knots: “Well RJK has been over there, eating lunch, completing a book and other things! Englider and Sominiaire have been beating Shaya Blackley around like she’s a punching bag!”

Shaya crawls for the ropes as Englider stirs and starts to get up. She crawls over and Englider grabs her by the leg, but Shaya turns and boots him in the face. She follows up by diving to her corner and tagging in Robert Joseph Kelly. Kelly enters the ring as the crowd roars and clotheslines Englider down. Englider gets back up and Kelly scoops him up and slams him down. He then scoops him up again and slams him down. Aurora goes to enter, but Kelly turns and grabs Englider and lifts him up before turning and throwing him at Aurora. Aurora falls out of the ring. RJK then throws him into the ropes. He bounces off and Englider counters with a dropkick to the knees. RJK hits the mat hard. Englider then gets up and turns to go for the tag, but Aurora is slow to get up. Englider turns around and elbows RJK in the back of the head before nailing him again. He then turns and runs into the ropes and goes for a boot, but RJK ducks and both spin around before RJK lifts Englider up onto his shoulder and drops him with the Off the Grid. The crowd ohs.

Knots: “Right on his head!”

Sharper: “Off the Grid! Englider spiked!”

RJK then rolls over and hooks the legs. Shaya enters the ring.

Aurora rolls in, but too late as Kelly gets up and Shaya immediately hugs him. They have their arms raised as the crowd cheers. Englider rolls over holding his head and neck in pain. Blackley and Kelly celebrate a bit before exiting the ring and dropping to the floor. We then see Johnny Dollar walk out from the back, a piece of paper in his hand.

Sharper: “Robert Joseph Kelly and Shaya Blackley get the Perfect World a tag victory here tonight.”

Knots: “Well finally, they do something right! Get off the snide!”

Sharper: “And look! Your favourite, Johnny Dollar, is on your way out.”

Knots: “Someone hit the pyro NOW!”

Sharper: “He seems to have something in my hand.”

Englider stirs as Aurora starts to help him up. Kelly and Shaya start to head to the back and Dollar just holds his hand up, paper up in the air, as he has a microphone in his hand.

Dollar: “Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am sorry that I was unable to be at ringside offering my analysis to this match, but I come with an announcement.”

The crowd buzzes a bit as Kelly and Blackley just walk towards him as Dollar nods. They then walk past him as Englider starts to get up in the ring, clearly unhappy.

Dollar: “As many of you know, there will be a battle royal later tonight for a World Championship opportunity on the first night of Riding the Lightning weekend. Well, I can officially tell you that Joseph Englider will be one of those participants! Yeah!”

The crowd roars as Englider’s anger seems to almost stop as he looks around before nodding a bit. He rubs his neck as he then nods smiling.

Sharper: “That seemed to calm down Englider.”

Knots: “He still should drop Dollar on his head just for bailing on him to somehow get that.”

Sharper: “You have to wonder if that was random or Dollar showed some dollars.”

Knots: “God…”

Dollar just points to the ring as “Day and Night” starts to play. Aurora smiles, clearly excited for Englider as Englider continues to warm to the idea as we then head backstage.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jessica Winters standing in the backstage hallway with Harmony Fisher. The crowd cheers upon seeing her.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with one of the entrants for tonight’s huge battle royal to determine Jake Starr’s opponent for the World Championship at Riding the Lightning: Night One, Harmony Fisher. Harmony, this has to be a big opportunity for you and one where you could face a big ally of yours.”

Harmony: “That indeed may be the case. If I can get through the other nine people I can stand and go right to Riding the Lightning to face Jake Starr. Someone who has been by my side. Someone who has had my back. Unlike others. See, Jake…I’m sorry, but I’m looking at the big picture here. If I win tonight, I’m going to go right through you at Night One. Why? There’s just too much to look forward to.”

Harmony pauses.

Harmony: “I could go on to Night Two and then I could stand across the ring from Syren in a steel cage. I could face her one on one and take out all of the frustrations I’ve had for David and Tommy in front of the world and she’d have nowhere to run. And then afterwards…I could face Brittany Lohan…who decided it best to toss me aside like garbage.”

Harmony pauses again and turns away briefly, taking a deep breath.

Harmony: “Look, I’m not going to pretend that this for me is about the World Championship. Would I love to hold it…hell yeah. But this is about the possibility of getting the chance to kick the asses of two people who have burned me…and that….that’s all the motivation I may need.”

Harmony turns and walks off. Jessica turns to the camera.

Jessica: “Harmony Fisher will join nine others in that huge battle royal later tonight.”

Sharper: “Thank you Jessica.”

“Rescue Me” starts to play and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Christian Savior with David Miller and then a shot of Ravyn Taylor with CHBK before seeing the US Championship and then both.

Sharper: “But when we return, the US Championship will be on the line. Something doesn’t seem right about this. But Savior is going to cash in his rematch and we’re going to see if he can get back the US Championship here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Knots: “There’s a break for him.”

Sharper: “That’s saying the least. He’s had a rough return, but tonight, he could make a big turn and get a big shot!”

Christian Savior vs. Ravyn Taylor

SCW United States Championship

"You think you know me?"

"I AM FALLEN!"

The fans jump to their feet as the opening notes of "Metalingus" by Alter Bridge play loudly. On the screen plays the words spoken "I am fallen" until a light shatters them, the glowing, angelic figure of Rose Savior appearing in a white light as the fog grows from the entryway on the stage. As the music plays, the words reform into their true message:

"Ex Cineribus Resurgam"

"On this day, I see clearly!
Everything has come to life.
Bitter place in a broken dream and I leave it all behind
Not a chance to chase a dream.
Not a chase to feel ALIVE!!"

The fans in the stands are up in cheers and roars as from the growing mist of fog walks out The Rising Phoenix, Christian Savior. The titantron alternates between images of Rose Savior in her angelic light and white dress and segments of Savior spearing an opponent, holding up a title, or merely of him smirking and grinning from his victories.As the Fallen Prince down the ramp, he looks around with a slight grin on his face, stopping mid-way down the ramp. The fans wait with baited breath before Savior suddenly throws his arms in the air, a series of fire red and orange fireworks shooting behind him back up the ramp where an explosion if fireworks of the same colors shoot in all directions, the rising symbolism evident. As the pyro show dies away, Savior rushes to the ring, sliding in, his eyes still on the audience around him before he jumps to his feet and over to the turnbuckle. As the music continues to play with the video, The Supreme Champion holds his hand out to the audience, the same style as he uses when motioning for a certain move. As he grins wickedly at the audience, they immediately begin shouting out in unison "Spear! Spear! Spear!" which brightens the smirk on Christian's face as he hops off the turnbuckle.

Sharper: “The former United States Champion, Christian Savior, about to have his rematch here and things have changed drastically quite a bit here.”

Knots: “Yeah. David Miller is nowhere to be found! No one knows where he is. Maybe he just forgot to show up again.”

Sharper: “I don’t know. Something tells me something isn’t right here. CHBK is the one to point this out and we know he’s not above using mind games. Let alone what we know Ravyn Taylor may do.”

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

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to the stage dressed in a pink ring-jacket with fur trim and hood. She stands there for a few moments before the curtains part one again and CHBK makes his way out, brandishing a steel chair. Ravyn turns to CHBK and the two share a few words before starting to make their way to the ring. Ravyn has the US Championship around her waist. Ravyn walks down to the ring before stopping as CHBK puts his hand up and unfolds the steel chair. He then places it in front of the rampway and sits, just outside of the ringside area. Savior watches him as Ravyn smirks and walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. She then walks across the ring, looking at Savior as she unclasps the US championship and holds it over her head as she climbs to the middle turnbuckle. CHBK takes a seat as the SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen. Ravyn drops down as Savior walks across the ring and looks at CHBK. Ravyn hands the belt to the official and CHBK folds his arms as Savior continues to watch him.

Knots: “Savior’s already worrying about CHBK! He’s not going to do anything. He’s just watching the match.”

Sharper: “What has me unsettled is CHBK has his back firmly to the curtain. He’s pretty damn confident Miller or someone else won’t come out.”

Knots: “And look! It’s going to cost Savior! What?!”

Ravyn runs over to Savior, but Savior at the last moment, using the big screen, moves out of the way and Ravyn hits the ropes. Savior then grabs her and throws her back as the bell sounds before hitting a back suplex into a bridge.

Ravyn kicks out. The crowd roars. Ravyn starts to get up and Savior turns to her and nails her with a hard forearm. He nails her again and fires her into the ropes. Ravyn bounces off and Savior back drops her over. Ravyn gets back up and Savior kicks her in the ribs, hits a snap suplex before rolling though into a pin.

Ravyn kicks out. She rolls away from Savior as Savior gets up. He walks after him as the crowd chants for “Savior!” He smirks before Savior grabs Ravyn by the hair and lifts her up and places her against the ropes and nails her with a forearm as CHBK watches.

Sharper: “Savior going right after Ravyn Taylor. CHBK looking on. That says it all. He’s focused.”

Knots: “Are you sure? I mean a title shot is up for grabs later…”

Sharper: “He could be part of that, but something tells me this situation with Ravyn is more than just a title. There’s something more here. And add this dimension with CHBK and Miller, there’s something not right either.”

Savior whips Ravyn across the ring. Ravyn stops at the ropes. Savior runs after her and Ravyn goes to put her boot up, but Savior blocks it and then pulls her out, causing her to land hard on her back. He flips forward and into a jackknife pin.

Ravyn kicks out. Savior rolls off and both get up and Savior goes for a clothesline. Ravyn ducks and Savior stops. He turns around and Ravyn jumps up and nails him with an enziguri kick. The crowd boos. Savior falls to the corner and Ravyn gets up and dropkicks him in the face. He falls back before dropping down to a seated position. Ravyn gets up and wastes no time, starting to choke him with her boot.

Sharper: “Choke in the corner. Ravyn quickly going to striking fast and then bending the rules.”

Knots: “But not breaking. Though if she wanted to, she could and then walk away still our US Champion.”

Sharper: “I’m sure that has crossed her mind multiple times.”

Knots: “She’s no coward!”

Sharper: “Not saying that. I’m saying she knows the rules too well.”

Ravyn continues to choke Savior. A shot of CHBK watching is shown.

Ravyn steps off and walks around. Savior grabs at the ropes, pulling himself up. He gets up and Ravyn runs over and nails him with a running dropkick to the face again. Savior falls forward and Ravyn rolls over and goes for the pin.

Savior kicks out. He rolls over to the apron. Ravyn gets up and she grabs at Savior, pulling him up by the hair, but Savior counters with a guillotine drop. Ravyn stumbles back and Savior grabs the ropes, pulling himself back up before turning and springboarding to the top rope and nailing Ravyn with a flying leg lariat. The crowd roars as Savior rolls through. He then scrambles for the pin.

Sharper: “Pin! Off the leg lariat!”

Knots: “Ha! No dice for Savior!”

The crowd sighs as Ravyn kicks out. Savior gets up and hits a leg drop. He gets up again and glances to CHBK before turning back to Ravyn. Ravyn gets to her feet and Savior lifts her up and hits a flapjack. Ravyn rolls to her back and Savior exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd cheers as Savior gets to the top and CHBK barely moves as he looks on and Ravyn remains down. Savior then dives off and goes for an elbow drop, but Ravyn rolls out of the way. Savior rolls through and both get up and Savior turns to Ravyn only for her to grab him by the head and hit the Survival Instinct. The crowd ohs and Savior rolls to his back. Ravyn hooks the leg and goes for the pin.

Savior shoots his shoulder up and the crowd roars. Ravyn sits up and gets up before walking over to the corner. Savior rolls over slowly and starts to stir.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor setting up for something.”

Knots: “Wouldn’t it be hilarious if it was the spear.”

Sharper: “I wouldn’t put that past her to taunt Savior like that. Savior however is getting up and Ravyn is just waiting right now.”

Knots: “While CHBK watches. Wouldn’t you love to be in his head…or Ravyn’s…okay, not Ravyn’s. I want to sleep tonight.”

Savior gets up and Ravyn runs out and nails him with the Bust of Pallas. The crowd ohs and Savior drops to the mat. Ravyn hooks the leg.

Savior kicks out again. Ravyn looks at the official before getting up and stomping him hard in the face before going for a second pin.

Savior kicks out again. Ravyn glares at the official before getting up. She then goes to the corner and steps to the apron. She then starts to climb up to the top rope. CHBK just watches, but notably with some more concern. Savior rolls over and starts to get up.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor is going to the top rope. She’s not typically going up there.”

Knots: “Maybe she wants to just end this for all! She’s a smart girl. There’s a reason.”

Sharper: “Even CHBK is a bit concerned, but Ravyn on the top rope. Savior starting to get up. Here we go!”

Savior gets up and Ravyn dives off the top rope, but Savior catches her. The crowd roars and Savior hits a ribbreaker. Ravyn rolls through and gets up and Savior kicks her in the ribs before double underhooking her arms and hitting the Rosetta Stone. The crowd cheers. Savior rolls through and right into a mount pin.

Ravyn kicks out. Savior rolls over as the crowd sighs. Savior then start to get up. He glances at CHBK seemingly to watch him as Savior drops down to the corner and looks at Ravyn. Ravyn rolls over in pain as Savior starts to set up for the spear.

Knots: “No! Ravyn! CHBK! Not this again!”

Sharper: “Spear coming up and this time, Savior is locked and cocked and ready to run over Ravyn Taylor!”

Savior looks at Ravyn before she gets up. She stumbles to her feet and Ravyn turns and Savior runs at her and drills her with a running spear. The crowd ohs and Ravyn hits hard before rolling over in pain. She holds her ribs as the crowd erupts in cheers. CHBK then stands up and hops onto the apron, non-chalantly, even buttoning his suit jacket. The official turns and goes to stop him and get him down. Savior however gets up and turns before nailing CHBK, knocking him down and to the floor as the crowd roars. Savior then turns and goes for the pin.

The lights suddenly go out in the arena. The crowd sighs before booing, before some start to cheer.

Knots: “Great timing for the power outage!”

Sharper: “What the hell?!”

Just then, we see something on the big screen.

Fuzzy footage is shown before we then manage to start to see what appear to be two police officers. Flashing lights are also seen, as it appears to be the middle of the afternoon. We then see, the glare of the sun as the camera turns and we see a crowd of a few people before we then see what appears to be David Miller stumbling forward and falling to a knee. The crowd can be heard in the arena.

Sharper: “No…”

Knots: “That’s Miller!”

The footage goes out of focus for a moment before then jerking around as the camera holder walks around a few people to get a good shot as the police officers go over to David Miller. Miller turns to them and uses one of them to hold himself up. He tries to say something ,but it only comes out mumbled. The cop turns to his partner as the partner turns to him.

Cop 2: “Alright sir…{unknown} coming with us…”

The first cop, that Miller was leaning on, turns to the second as Miller stumbles around and falls to a knee. The second cop then grabs his cuffs and starts to handcuff Miller. Miller resists a bit, causing the cop to put more force, forcing him down. He then cuffs him. The first cop turns away, talking into his walkie-talkie.

Cop 1: “We got a suspect, presumed under the influence coming in. Gonna need the drunk tank. He’s out of it.”

Miller struggles a bit, but the cop holds onto him as the other cop turns to the crowd and starts to get them to disperse. The camera then drops down, going out of focus before the video ends.

Sharper: “I don’t believe that…I don’t believe that one bit!”

We then return to the darkened area as Savior just looks on from his feet. The lights return and Savior then turns around to go for the pin on Ravyn, but Ravyn has rolled away. But he then gets up and turns only for CHBK to be in the ring and to nail him with the Bittersweet Ending. The crowd ohs and the boos as the official calls for the bell. The boos only get louder. CHBK then straightens out his suit as Ravyn Taylor starts to pulls herself up in the corner.

Sharper: “Bittersweet Ending! A sneak attack!”

Knots: “CHBK just drilled him!”

Sharper: “Was that video related? Was this all a back-up plan if Ravyn got in trouble?”

Knots: “What? Clearly someone wanted to inform the world what happened to Miller! They just had convenient timing!”

Sharper: “Please! Something isn’t right here! I smelled it before and I smell it now.”

CHBK then turns and exits the ring and grabs the US Championship as Ravyn rolls to the floor. CHBK hands her the title as they start to make their exit. CHBK looks in the ring and just shakes his head as Savior rolls over slowly, holding his jaw. The crowd continues to boo.

Sharper: “Savior gets screwed! He had her and we were moments away from a new US Champion!”

Knots: “But that’s not what happened. That’s just a dream!”

Sharper: “Give me a break! CHBK and Ravyn Taylor are lucky as hell and something doesn’t smell right at all!”

The referee checks on Savior. Phillips announces Savior as the winner and his music plays but the crowd boos as Ravyn and CHBK start to make their way to the back and the scene cuts to commercials.

COMMERCIAL:

Knots: “Thank God!”

Sharper: “If Thirteen wins, he get his rematch from Body, Heart and Soul!”

Knots: “You don’t think he’d love that! Oh yeah…”

Sharper: “Well in any case, we should address one of the other individuals in this battle royal tonight and that is Hurse.”

Knots: “That moron.”

We open up to show Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

Sharper: “That moron is going to see Porno Lad right now. He’s going to his house. He wants to face him one on one. Let’s uh…go to Hurse.”

Knots: “Are you sure?”

The scene fades to black.

The scene opens up to show Hurse, holding a piece of paper in his hand, standing in front of another house as he turns to the camera.

Hurse: “This better be the right place…I mean, I’m now losing a shot at Jake Starr…AGAIN thanks to this son of a beeswax! And I mean really…how could there be another house on this street with a porno shooting at the same place…and another with the guy on this list I have here! Come on! This was fool-proof!”

Hurse throws his piece of paper down before sighing.

Hurse: “This better be the place. I’m done with this rapscallion making me look a fool! Only I can do that! No one else!”

Hurse turns and storms towards the house. The cameraman delays for a moment before following after him. Hurse goes up to the house and takes a deep breath before knocking on the door. Hurse looks around, somewhat guiltily as he waits. He starts to tap his foot.

Hurse: “Come on. He’s got to be home. What else would he be doing? He can only ruin my life by sending me hate through the television while he’s watching Breakdown…”

Cameraman: “Well…what if he’s watching and knows you’re here.”

Hurse: “What? This is via satellite?! I thought I was on tape delay!”

Cameraman: “We are. But I’m assuming he’s got a sense you’re here.”

Hurse: “Shush! You’re a cameraman! If you wanted to be a figure on camera, you should’ve buckled down in community college!”

Hurse then knocks on the door again.

Hurse: “Yo! Smut peddler! Your fate has arrived! Time for you to meet your maker! I will be your Green Goblin to your Spiderman! Your Lex Luthor to your Superman! Your Cockknocker to your Jay and Silent Bob!”

Cameraman: “Why are you positioning yourself as the villain?”

Hurse: “SHUT UP!”

Hurse turns back. He knocks again before the door opens and Porno Lad stands on the other side.

Hurse: “Hello…nemesis.”

Porno Lad: “You? Christ…”

Porno Lad sighs.

Porno Lad: “I’m not going to give you a hot beverage or ask you in. Get the hell away from her.”

Porno Lad goes to close the door, but Hurse puts his hand in front.

Hurse: “I am not leaving here until you give me what I want.”

Porno Lad: “I have no desire to come and show the world that you still suck massive.”

Hurse: “Bu-“

Porno Lad: “Like I realize that you suck worse than Katie Steward. And she’s with Katelyn Buehler, so you know she’s taught her some things. Plus, it’s just not cool for me to come back and whip your ass again. I mean…I like to diversify. Do different things. I’m not the man I once was.”

Hurse: “But you’re…you’re still Porno Lad.”

Porno Lad: “Yes…bu-“

Hurse: “This is not Doctor Who or some show like that. You are still the same person and I have come to drag you back to an SCW ring, drive up their ratings and smite you!”

Porno Lad: “Smite me?”

Hurse: “Yes?I will smite you so hard you’ll wish you hadn’t been smoten so hard!”

Porno Lad: “Really Hurse…you’ve stooped to this.”

Hurse: “I gave into your demands! I would give you anything you wanted including a title shot! You backed out! And damn it! I’m forfeiting a title shot just to be here! I could face and kick Jake Starr’s ass in two and a half weeks if I beat some of SCW’s scrubs! But no, I am here because I need to beat you! That’s what kicking your ass means to me! YOU! You are my Pandora’s Box! You put the lid on it. Like Rachel Foxx took Alex Desoubrais Jr’s ability to have sex without passing diseases! You took away my ability to derive joy from being better than ANYONE in SCW! ANYONE! Jake Starr included! And he’s a jackass! JAKE F’N STARR!”

Porno Lad: “That is unfortunate. Jake Starr is a douchebag.”

Hurse: “See!”

Porno Lad: “Then why haven’t you just kicked my ass now. I mean, you have a camera-“

Hurse: “What am I? Jake Starr? I don’t need to cheap shot my way to destroy you. I need to prove I am better than you in a regulation wrestling contest in front of the world! I need you to return-“

Porno Lad just sighs, cutting Hurse off again. Hurse falls to his knees and starts to beg.

Hurse: “Please-“

Porno Lad: “First off…you may not want to do that from your knees…Secondly…”

Hurse starts to get up.

Porno Lad: “I didn’t say get up-“

Hurse drops down to his knees again.

Porno Lad sighs again.

Porno Lad: “Can you get me my Adrenaline Championship shot against Ryan Watson-“

Hurse: “Well Watson isn’t the champ-“

Porno Lad: “Can you get me that match I desire-“

Hurse: “God yes. I may means some finagling, but please…SCW getting you back to get me back at my awesome level…they’ll do it in a heartbeat to save their company in this recession.”

Porno Lad: “Then I have one request-“

Hurse: “Name it.”

Hurse looks up at Porno Lad as Lad looks down at him.

Hurse: “Oh God…I’m not that good with those.”

Porno Lad just looks at him oddly.

Porno: “No you sick bastard! I want Sasha to be in the ring when I make my return. We have some unfinished business from the Greaternity days…I just want a talk.”

Hurse: “Ah…”

Porno: “You said anything.”

Hurse: “I’m sure she wants the spotlight. If she’s anything like her shilling dumbass father. Done.”

Porno: “Fine…then I’ll see you on April 21.”

Porno Lad then slams the door shut. Hurse just looks at the door before turning around.

Hurse: “Phew…now…to Sasha’s house…”

Cameraman: “What about the title shot-“

Hurse: “I’m not going to get there in time…plus…it’s in Oregon. Why the hell would I want to go there?!”

Hurse then walks past the cameraman. The cameraman focuses on the house and then Hurse before the scene ends.

We cut back to a shot in the arena.

Knots: “Did I hear that right?”

Sharper: “Yes you did. Hurse isn’t going to be here tonight. Hurse also has Porno Lad at Riding the Lightning Night Two, if he can Ryan Watson to face him as Adrenaline Champion and the boss’ daughter to be there!”

Knots: “He’s screwed…and it’ll be great. Oh it’ll be great!”

The scene cuts backstage to see Savior storming outside of the arena. He continues to walk outside before heading over to the production truck and storming up into it. He then opens the door and steps inside, the cameraman following him. The directors and producers turn to him.

Savior: “What the hell was that out there?! What the hell….No…you’re not going to break…who the hell put you up to that? The timing isn’t just a coincidence!”

Savior then turns and grabs one of the people before shoving them forward and then stepping forward and heading to the director.

Savior: “You…you made the call. I’ve been around here long enough. I’ve even done it myself. Who the hell put you up to it?”

Director: “I can’t say…It’s my-“

Savior: “If you say it’s your job, I will strangle you here. It’s your job to keep this show running smoothly, not to play video in the middle of matches!”

Savior grabs him as the Director then turns to him.

Director: “Cut the-“

Savior: “Don’t you dare! Who did it?”

Director: “Fine…fine….I got a bunch of money and the video. It said it was from the Board to play it during your match if CHBK got involved.”

Savior just looks at him before shoving him down hard, causing him to flip over to the ground.

Savior: “Son of a bitch.”

Savior turns and shoves another person out of the way, before shoving the cameraman back and against the wall and storming out of the production truck.

Director: “Cut! Cut!”

The scene then abruptly goes to commercials.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as the crowd boos seeing Katie Steward in her locker room with TJ Johnson.

Johnson: “I can’t believe that Hurse gets picked over you.”

Katie says nothing as Johnson just turns to her.

Johnson: “Katie? Did you hear me?”

Katie says nothing still.

Johnson: “Katie? I said I can’t believe Hurse got picked-“

Katie: “I heard you…”

Johnson: “And you’re not screaming?”

Katie: “No TJ….you see…this is a sign.”

Johnson: “A sign.”

Katie just smiles, turning to Johnson.

Katie: “This is a sign for me to finally just take what I deserve. Hurse isn’t here. And so someone is going to need to take that spot. Who is that going to be? Well me of course. I mean, who else could Hurse turn it over to? Robin? She’s not active. It’s all me. So I’m going to win, then I’m going to face Jake Starr and I’m going to end his reign and be the first two time female World Champion.”

Johnson: “Oh….oh! That’s delightfully brilliant!”

Katie: “Of course! I came up with it.”

Johnson: “You want me to let the Board know?”

Katie: “They don’t need to know. They already know. That spot will be mine and I’m going to Riding the Lightning Night One and I will be World Champion…Oh Yes….”

Katie smiles as we return to ringside.

Collin Cole vs. Josh Hudson

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

Sharper: “Josh Hudson made an agreement with Christy Matthews last Breakdown. They would watch each other’s backs, keep their matches fair and focus on what they like to do and that’s compete.”

Knots: “I hope that Hudson is ready then. He’s got Cole and Collin Cole is riding high. He’s got his spot in that battle royal tonight….eat that Devon Kayl, Katie Steward!”

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

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

Collin remains at the top of the stage before holding his hand up and looking down at the ring. The crowd boos as Collin reveals a microphone in his hand. He looks around before turning to Hudson.

Sharper: “What’s this now?”

Knots: “Maybe he has something more to say.”

Sharper: “He already talked earlier tonight. What does he have to add? He’s going to win the battle royal?”

Knots: “That’s why I said he may have something MORE to say.”

Collin looks down at the ring as Hudson steps forward and looks at him.

Cole: “Now I know Josh that you were looking to have another wrestling classic in front of the world, but unfortunately that is not going to happen tonight.”

The crowd boos.

Cole: “As is well known, tonight, I have bigger fish to fry. Tonight, I will face nine others and toss all nine over the top rope, to the floor, and earn my shot at the World Championship. I don’t have time to involve myself with other competition and this is one of those nights where facing you is not that great of a priority. So take your forfeit, and enjoy. You’re a lucky man for the easy win against me.”

Sharper: “He’s running again!”

Knots: “He’s not running at all! He’s strategizing!”

Cole looks around as Hudson just scoffs. The crow boos.

Cole: “I’m sorry, but you and I, we’ll have to have our match another time when I don’t have other more important things to worry about.”

Cole then turns and starts to return to the back before Christy Matthews walks out with Pete Ebdon. Christy just stands before him as Cole just stops and starts to back up. Siouxsie Blade does the same and Hudson just smirks. Cole continues to back up.

Sharper: “I don’t think you’re going anywhere Cole!”

Knots: “What is she doing here? Hudson isn’t being attacked! Mind your business!”

Sharper: “She’s looking out for Hudson and keeping his opponent at ringside!”

Cole continues to back up as Christy continues to advance before Hudson drops down to the floor. He then runs up behind Cole and spins him around and nails him with a hard right. The crowd roars. He nails him again before grabbing him and running him down the rampway and rolling him into the ring. Cole rolls over as Siouxsie Blade looks completely lost only to then run down to the ring. Hudson slides in and the referee calls for the bell starting the match. The bell sounds and Cole gets up and turns to Hudson only for Hudson to grab him and throw him over with a belly to belly suplex. Christy continues to the ring as Ebdon follows. Cole rolls over and tries to exit the ring, but Hudson grabs him by the leg and pulls him in. He then drops an elbow to the back of Cole’s head.

Sharper: “Hudson going after Cole. This match official. Cole trying to get out of the ring, but Hudson pulls him back in.”

Knots: “Come on! He forfeited! He said he’d pull out and this is happening! This isn’t fair!”

Sharper: “Christy and Ebdon now at ringside to make sure Cole stays there, but I don’t know. Hudson’s still going after him though.”

Hudson grabs Cole and lifts him up. He elbows him in the back of the head. Cole falls to a knee. He then grabs him and gutwrenches him. He suplexes him over and then gets up. He smirks as he grabs Cole by the hair and drags him up. Cole however suddenly jumps up and hits a kick to the head. Hudson stumbles back and turns back only for Cole to jump up and nail him with an enziguri. Hudson falls to his hands and knees. Cole then turns to the official and starts to talk to him. The official listens, but Hudson goes over and grabs Cole. Cole turns and Hudson grabs him and goes for another belly to belly. Cole however tries to get some extra space, seemingly looking to go for a low blow. He rears back, but kicks Hudson in the knee. Hudson backs up and Cole goes for a vicious kick to the groin of Hudson, but Hudson moves back. Cole misses. He then nails Hudson with a forearm and then another and another before he drives his fingers into the eyes of Hudson and forces him back, digging in. Hudson yells in pain and the official calls for the break.

Cole refuses to let go, only for Hudson to then knee Cole as Cole turns to the official expecting the disqualification.

Sharper: “He’s trying to get disqualified!”

Knots: “Smart plan!”

Hudson then turns and stops the official as he rubs his eyes. The official talks to Hudson and Cole then low blows him, but Hudson falls forward into the official. The official remains up, but doesn’t realize what happened to knock down Hudson.

Sharper: “Come on!”

Knots: “Damn it ref! He low blowed him! I’ll get the replay up! Watch that and you’ll see! Then you can let Cole get back to preparing for his real match!”

Sharper: “Please!”

Cole looks up at the official. The official just turns to him and doesn’t call for anything. He even tells him he low blowed him. He gets up and stomps Hudson in the face before turning and grabbing at the legs of Hudson. Hudson however gets his one leg free as Cole goes to stomp him between the legs, but Hudson kicks him in the ribs and then the face. He stumbles back. Hudson gets up and grabs Cole from behind and throws him back with a release German suplex. Cole rolls over, holding his head in pain. He then starts to roll to the ropes as Christy walks around. Siouxsie looks on as Christy goes to the apron as Cole turns to her and looks at her. He then starts to slide back, holding his neck.

Knots: “Come on! Get her out of here! She doesn’t have a manager’s license! She has no right to be here!”

Sharper: “Well she is keeping Cole here in the ring, in this match.”

Knots: “I don’t care if she’s bringing peace to the Middle East! She shouldn’t be out here!”

Cole rolls over and starts to get up and looks at Christy before he turns and Hudson suddenly hoists him up and onto his shoulders. The crowd roars as he then turns and drops him with the Kingdom Come. The crowd roars. Hudson goes for the pin.

The crowd cheers and Siouxsie Blade just pouts as Christy smirks and backs off and heads to Pete Ebdon. Josh Hudson looks at Cole and shakes his head before getting up and having his arm raised. Christy and Ebdon start to make their exit. Hudson just celebrates a bit.

Knots: “That is a loss not for Cole. Hudson should’ve been disqualified!”

Sharper: “He wasn’t and he was sent to bed right there. He better hope he can wake up by later tonight if he wants to make that impact and get that title shot.”

Knots: “And we’re going to find out someone else in that battle royal!”

Knots: “What?! She had her debut tonight!”

Sharper: “Well that shows it was random! Oh my God…”

A few moments pass before we cut to the locker room of Rachel Foxx who just looks at the screen, showing Jesse Rose as being in the battle royal, smiling. Jesse Rose turns to her.

Rachel: “You’re doing double-duty.”

Jesse: “Want me to get you a shot at Jake?”

Rachel: “That would be fun…Very fun…”

Jesse: “I’ll happily give you a nice gift.”

Rachel: “I look forward to it.”

Rachel smiles. The camera focuses on Rachel as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Ivan Kirov vs. Kelcey Wallace

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight'

With his hand, he takes off his helm, lowering his hood in the process. He then poses again for the crowd, arms outstretched.

Sharper: This match should have a first as a couple of undefeated wrestlers face each other tonight. NME is a wicked looking individual, he has been very impressive since his arrival and he proved that against the young upstart, Andre Jordan but tonight he faces Perfection herself, Kelcey Wallace.

Knots: Yeah don’t put Jordan and Wallace in the same sentence, nothing against Dre but this is the toughest challenge for NME so far in SCW. Now in my notes here it’s NME yet he was Ivan Kirov so which is it Sharper?

Sharper: Both I think.

Knots: Seriously, where do they find these guys? Ah here comes Perfection….quiet Sharper.

SHAWN MASON Appears in the Entranceway.....

Mason:”Ladies and gentlemen, set down your drinks and bring your attention to the top of the ramp.”

“Gracing you with her presence here tonight is a piece of perfection carved out by whatever deity you believe in. Weighing in at 8 and a half stones, she graces us from Orlando, Florida by way of Newport, South Wales… she is and always will be YOUR “PERFECT 10”…

KELCEY WALLACE!!!

"Pretty Girl Rock" by Keri Hilson plays throughout the arena....

A spotlight shines in the entrance way.....

Kelcey Wallace comes out wearing a long Pageant Dress that connects
to her wrestling gear along with her sash that says "The Perfect 10" as she rises from the stage.....

She poses while the turnstile spins her slowly around as the fans watch Perfection in awe....

She is then rained down by Rose pedals while she continues to pose....

Kelcey then drops the Pageant Dress, Sash showing off her beautiful body, posing to the flashes of the camera.....

She looks out into the crowd and seductively smirks as she steps off
the turnstile and makes her way to the ring….

Her bodyguard, "El Cuchillo" and Shawn Mason appear from the back and follow behind her……

Kelcey gets to the apron, walks the length and slowly enters through the ropes smiling....

Kelcey gets in the middle of the ring as one spotlight shines on her and she waves to the uglies in graceful and almost mocking fashion, she looks around the arena with a sexy and seductive pose.....

Soaking up the attention while keeping her eye on her opponent, "El Cuchillo"& Shawn Mason stand outside in her corner….

NME stays crouched in the corner while playing with a yo-yo; Kelcey in her red wrestling attire looks over not phased and raises her leg on the top turnbuckle to lift her red matching pads over her knee, she repeats it with her other leg.

Sharper: We see NME with that yo-yo, we have heard the rumors of being called the “Toymaker” but the referee needs to get that out of his hands, it could be used as a weapon.

Knots: Why are you looking at his yo-yo Sharper when Kelcey Wallace is stretching her legs right in front of us?

NME continues to play with the yo-yo as he places it down in the corner along with his robe, he stretches and walks around the ring while Kelcey cartwheels and is ready to start the match, the referee calls for the bell…..

DING! DING! DING!

Kelcey and Kirov circle the ring, Kelcey knows better than to lock up with the stronger Russian as he tries to grab her, she quickly moves out of the way and leg scissors him at the knees to drop him face first on the mat, Kelcey steps and walks across his back and head in a show of disrespect. Kelcey smirks as Kirov stands up slowly with a scowl on his face. The two circle the ring and lock up, the more powerful Kirov pushes Kelcey against the ropes and follows through with a clothesline but the quicker Kelcey ducks, she hooks the arms in a crucifix and drops Kirov down for the quick pin attempt…..

1!

Kickout by NME, he attempts to grab Kelcey but she uses her legs to kick the inner calf and knee of NME making him unbalanced, hitting a European forearm staggering NME back and then another and finishing it with a quick standing dropkick that sends Kirov to the mat, he rolls out of the ring.

Sharper: A quick offensive flurry by Kelcey Wallace has the Russian both angered and off balance. He rolls out of the ring to collect himself but it looks like Kelcey came with the offense early.

Knots: She has too, he overpowers her in every way and while both have not lost in singles competition here in SCW Kelcey knows this match is as important as the next, a loss here will stifle her streak, she has to stay on him like its Friday night after the bar.

NME paces around a little and doesn’t see Wallace runs across the ring and do a baseball slide kick right into his chest knocking him into the announcers table. Kelcey brushes her hair a little as she gets on the apron and dives off with a double axe handle but Kirov catches Kelcey in midair and rams her back into the side of the ring. She crumbles to the floor holding her back in pain as Kirov wastes no time picking up Kelcey while the referee starts the count….

1…

2…

3…

4…

NME rolls Kelcey back into the ring, he follows after her and quickly drives some forearms into her chest knocking the wind out of her. Cuchillo and Mason look on from the outside as NME picks up Kelcey by the hair and with ease bodyslams hard to the mat; he picks her up again and drops her petit frame over his knee with a Russian Backbreaker. NME drives his forearm into her face a few times before picking her up again and throwing her into the turnbuckle, he charges in but Kelcey hops up over him and falls behind rolling him up in a sunset flip for the cover….

1!

Kickout by NME! He gets up as Kelcey unleashes another European forearm staggering him into the corner, she quickly hops on the second rope and connects with a kick to the face of NME dropping him to the mat, she starts stomping him in the back, runs against the ropes and delivers a leg drop to the back of the head. Kelcey picks up NME and throws him to ropes, she ducks to hit the backdrop but he kicks Kelcey right in the shoulder causing her to get upright and he finishes it off with a huge clothesline turning her inside out as she lands hard on the mat.

Knots: What a clothesline by NME and that made Kelcey do a Perfect Flip; I give that a 10 Sharper!

Sharper: That was the opening he needed and now takes advantage of it. Wallace hit hard on the mat as she holds her neck in pain; she could be hurt as the referee checks on her.

NME wastes no time, he picks up Wallace by the hair, locks in a bear hug and turns it into a quick belly to overhead suplex causing Kelcey to land hard on the mat, NME follows it up with a Cannonball knocking the wind out of Wallace as he starts choking her, the referee quickly counts for the break….

NME Breaks the count! With a smile on his face he picks up Wallace, scoops her up over his shoulder and rams her back first into the corner post, he then hangs her upside down in the Tree of Woe and starts kicking her mercilessly while the referee again has to administer the count….

NME Breaks the count again! He smirks as he backs off then rams Kelcey hard with a knee to the midsection; the referee is able to untie her as she drops flat on the mat. Kelcey slowly tries to sit up but NME dropkicks her in the face with the Mistletoe Dropkick knocking her back on the mat, he finishes it off with the Shin-Sault and hooks the leg of Kelcey for the cover….

Kickout by Kelcey! NME is a bit surprised but claps nonetheless. He picks up Kelcey while she is dazed and smiles, hooking her in a front facelock and going for the Tornado DDT he calls Scarlet Fever but Kelcey hangs on to the ropes as he crash lands on his back, he sits up and without warning Kelcey hits the mark with the Uglifier “Shining Wizard” hold almost knocking NME out.

Sharper: The control goes back to Kelcey that quickly and we both know that later tonight Gable Winchester and Chad Evans will face off, they are watching this right now and seeing how tough and quick she turned this momentum around.

Knots: Of course they are both watching this Perfect specimen, hell I’m watching right now too. This is why Kelcey so far has been Perfect but you have to be impressed with NME, how many more times can she take those brutal hits before it’s over. Chad Evans and Gable Winchester are taking notes trust me.

Kelcey holds her neck and shakes off the pain as she picks up NME without going for a cover, she unloads with a few European upper cuts staggering back NME to the ropes, she Irish whips him to the opposite ropes but he reverses, he ducks down to flip Kelcey over but like she did earlier it’s futile, Kelcey rolls over his back, grabs him from behind and executes the Pretty Girl Drop reverse DDT. Kelcey hooks the leg for the cover…..

Kickout by NME! Kelcey quickly climbs to the second rope and hits an elbow smash hard on NME’s chest. Kelcey backs off and waits until NME gets on his feet and as he does Kelcey stalks him, NME is back on his feet, Kelcey kicks him in the midsection buckling him over, she tries to hook him for the Perfect 10-Plex but he quickly pushes out of it and rolls outside the ring. Kelcey follows as the referee tries to intervene, Cuchillo stands on the other side of the ring blocking NME from going anywhere so he rolls back but they do not see him grab his Yo-Yo from the corner, Kelcey rolls back in while the referee is calling the attention of Cuchillo, Kelcey goes to charge in but NME quickly shoots the Yo-Yo at Kelcey smashing her in the nose and mouth, busting her open, she falls to the mat holding her face as he quickly discards the Yo-Yo…

Sharper: Kelcey is busted open! My God did you see that sicko use the Yo-Yo as a weapon!? He hit her right in the mouth and nose, the referee was not paying attention and saw nothing!

Knot: He can’t have broken the Perfect Nose, or the Perfect Lips, that man needs to keep his Yo-Yo to himself!

NME smiles Sadistically as he picks up Kelcey Wallace, hooks the leg and executes her move “The Perfect 10-Plex in Mirror-Mirror! Mason and Cuchillo look on in horror as the referee drops for the count….

1!

3…NO Kelcey Wallace Kicks out! Mason sighs in relief, NME can’t believe it as he holds up three fingers but the referee says no.

Sharper: The Perfect streak was almost over Knots! How did Kelcey Wallace kick out of that and look at her nose and lips, they are swollen, the bottom half of her face is covered in her own blood my God!

Knots: That is why she is perfect, that is why wrestlers like Winchester and Evans wants a piece of her! She is the real deal, NME is shocked right now.

Kelcey holds her face and realizes she is bleeding as her hand is covered in blood from her nose and lips, NME grabs Kelcey by the hair and hits a few forearms to the side of her face, he whips her across the ring and delivers a belly to belly suplex, NME gets back up and smiles as he signals for the end of the match as the referee checks on kelcey’s face, NME picks her up and locks in the full nelson and goes to hit his finisher XYZ but Kelcey wraps her leg around his preventing him from executing the suplex into the bridge, he tries to muscle her over again but she keeps holding on and uses the back of her head to head butt NME repeatedly until he releases the hold, he takes a few steps back as Kelcey wipes her face trembling seeing her blood on her hands, the scowl on her face tells the story as she quickly unloads with European forearms , she follows with kicks buckling NME over and executing the Runway Walk. Kelcey doesn’t go for the pin instead she rolls out of the ring as Mason attends to her wound, the referee also checks on her as Shawn tries to stop the bleeding…..

Sharper: It seems like she might have a broken nose and if that is the case the referee might stop this match, she doesn’t stop bleeding. What was that Yo-Yo made of?

Knots: Who cares it found its mark but in a way this is smart by Kelcey, she is being attended to but at the same time she is letting NME recover. Right now Kelcey is not so perfect.

Sharper: This is the first time we actually see anger in her face and NME is on his feet!

NME rolls out of the ring and hammers Kelcey in the back causing her to crash into Mason knocking them down on the ground. He is about to pick up Kelcey when Cuchillo grabs him from behind and throws him to the ground, NME springs back up and faces off against Cuchillo but doesn’t see Kelcey run up the stairs on to the apron and spring off in a senton on NME knocking him to the ground. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Kelcey picks up NME and rolls him back into the ring; she continues to wipe the blood from her face, she slams the apron hard in anger as she rolls in after NME hooking him in a La Magistral Cradle and rolling him over for a pin….

Kickout by NME! Kelcey starts punching the Russian in the face, she starts to yell and continues punching him until the referee pulls her off of him, NME gets up smiling while holding his face, Kelcey pushes the referee out of the way opening herself up for a huge boot from NME right in the chest knocking her down, he grabs her legs and goes to apply his STF maneuver the Stockholm Syndrome by turning her over but as he tries she blocks his arms and rolls him into a small package….

No! Kickout by NME! He quickly gets up, Kelcey connects with a flying clothesline, she jumps on the ropes and goes for another clothesline but NME catches her midair and delivers a spinebuster! He quickly hooks a leg for the cover….

2!

No! Kickout by Kelcey. NME wastes no time, he picks her up by the hair and throws her into the turnbuckle, he charges in but Kelcey puts her foot up, he is stunned by the shot in the face, she grabs him by the tights and throws him shoulder first into the steel post! Kelcey grabs him again and throws him a second time, NME holds his arm as Kelcey jumps on his back driving him into the ground and applies her Fujiwara Arm Bar, 10 Out of 10. Kelcey wrenches back as NME screams in pain, the referee drops to the mat to ask him….

Sharper: Kelcey Wallace has the 10 Out of 10 and look at her! She is determined to get the submission ramming NME in the post not once but twice! Can she make the Russian submit! Kelcey wants to rip his arm off!

Knots: Lesson learned kiddies, never hit a perfect blue eyed woman in the face with your yo-yo no matter how much she pisses you off!

Kelcey leans back further as the referee asks NME to submit, he yells in pain almost wanting to tap but he doesn’t, Kelcey continues to apply the hold as the Russian uses all of his strength to move closer to the ropes, he inches a little…A little more…His foot touches the bottom rope as the referee makes the count for Kelcey to break the hold..

Kelcey reluctantly breaks the hold. Kelcey continues to wipe blood from her nose and mouth, trembling she starts stomping on NME’s arm repeatedly, grabbing his foot and dragging him to the middle of the ring, Kelcey then tries to apply a Sharshooter but NME jabs a thumb in Kelcey’s eye blinding her for a second, NME gets up holding his shoulder and spears Kelcey down almost breaking her in half, she lays motionless in the ring, coughing up blood as NME crawls on top of her for the pin…

3….NO Foot on the rope by Wallace! NME slams the mat in frustration and curses in Russian, he grabs the referee and starts bullying him a little as Kelcey turns to her side and slowly gets to her knees, NME with full force punt kicks her in the midsection as she lets out a huge groan trying to catch her breath and swallowing her own blood. NME cracks a smile as he starts twirling his fist; he looks over at Mason and Cuchillo running his thumb across his neck as he waits for Kelcey to get up…

Sharper: This could be the end of Perfection! He is getting ready for the “Snakebite” the move we have heard has ended careers, Wallace can barely stand as Mason and Cuchillo look on again in horror!

Knots: Kelcey has taken a beating, the man with a 1000 nicknames could end this but it isn’t over until it’s over, Kelcey needs to shake her ass or something, distract him!

NME waits for Kelcey to get up, she does turning around, he charges and as he does Kelcey kicks him right in the groin, the referee missed it as NME buckles over, Kelcey quickly runs to the opposite ropes and comes off twirling with her one arm neck breaker, The Perfect Fate! The crowd erupts as she jumps on top of NME hooking the far leg for the pinfall…

DING! DING! DING!

Kelcey screams at the sound of three count and rolls off NME to her knees as Mason slams the mat, quickly sliding in the ring along with Cuchillo, “Pretty Girl Rock” plays throughout the arena as she wipes the blood from her face and smears it on NME’s chest. The referee raises her hand in victory….

Sharper: What a match and what a finish! One mistake and it cost NME, he used the Yo-Yo, Kelcey used the foot and what a victory for The Perfect 10. NME is tough and sadistic, that man is one to watch.

Knots: That kick was justified, after the yo-yo anything was justified. Kelcey stays perfect, you can bet Gable Winchester and Chad Evans were watching that and…look at that, the fire is lit under Wallace, I like it.

Kelcey stands up holding her face, in anger she starts screaming at NME who stirs holding his neck, she is being pulled by Mason but she continues to jaw jack holding her face while the entourage escorts her out of the ring as they head up the ramp, staring at NME who sits up looking on emotionless.

The scene opens up backstage. We see Devon Kayl backstage with Brittany Kayl. The crowd cheers seeing them.

Brittany: “What are you going on about?”

Devon: “It’s perfect. I mean Hurse is not even near the arena. He’s not going to be here. And if I’m not picked, I’m going to be in there. I mean, it’s what the fans demand!”

Brittany: “But is the Board okay with that?”

Devon: “Since when did we care about consequences?! This is Kayl TV! We give the people what they want, no matter what!”

Brittany: “I’m not so sure…”

Devon: “Trust me! When have I ever steered us wrong!”

Devon smiles as Brittany just rolls her eyes and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Sharper: “And your final entrant…Shilo Valiant.”

Knots: “Great…just great. This guy gets another shot. And Marina has to wait.”

Sharper: “It was random!”

Knots: “Yeah…sure….I’m sure…”

The lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the centre of the stage. “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system as the screens come alive.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments the curtains part as Syren makes her way on to the stage, stopping for a moment as she steps in to the spotlight and looking down at the ground in front of her before flicking her hair back and smiling at the cameras and the fans, soaking in the atmosphere and revelling in every moment, from the cheers from some fans to boos and jeers about taking her top off from others. She looks around.

Sharper: “Syren on her way to the ring.”

Knots: “Time to sit back and listen to her to tell the world why Jake Starr is screwed.”

Sharper: “You have to think she’s focusing on that battle royal tonight. There’s just as good of an opportunity for the winner of that battle royal to face her on that second night in a steel cage. It’s happening on Riding the Lightning: Night Two.”

Syren walks down to the ring, notably alone and just stops part way and glares at some fans making rude comments before walking over to the steel steps and walking up them and entering the ring. She then goes over to the middle of the ring and asks for a microphone. Jason Phillips walks to the ring and Syren takes the microphone. Syren turns and walks over to the middle of the ring and looks around. The crowd boos as her music fades out.

Syren: “Just so you know, this is what a future World Champion looks like. And no, you’ll never be seen with anyone like me!”

The crowd boos as Syren looks around.

Syren: “I know everyone is talking about the battle royal later tonight. Everyone. Everyone is hoping to be in it. Everyone was hoping to get the shot. After every match, people huddled up around monitors, hoping they would be one of the lucky ones. Here’s the problem. Look at that list….all of them can do all they want to beat Jake Starr at Riding the Lightning: Night One. But Night Two…they get to enter a steel cage against me. And after looking at all of the people in that battle royal, I’ll be honest. For the first time in my life, I want Jake Starr to win a match.”

Syren stops for a moment, holding back what appears to be her gagging.

Syren: “I want that total douchebag to win a match. Because you could say I want to face Thirteen for ending my reign or Shilo Valiant just to keep him shut up…but I want to Jake Starr to have to face me one on one. No more hiding behind your wife. No more totally being a jackass and thinking you’re better than me. You are not! Retribution….you had to use your wife to beat me. You couldn’t beat me on your own. So I’m going to lock you in a steel cage and in front of my hometown of Hollywood, I am going to win the World Champion and SHUT ALL OF YOU UP!”

The crowd boos as Syren looks right at the hard camera.

Syren: “I am the World Champion, damn it. I totally proved it last year. And at Riding the Lightning, I am going to get my belt back and all of you will realize that I am a star. And I will do so…hopefully…by also shutting Jake Starr up. He’s always one to run his mouth. He’s always one to act like everything his okay. He wants to talk about outsmarting Dark Fantasy and especially me. Well Jake…I’m going to simply say this…enjoy the spotlight on you and your Night One match tonight because come Night Two, when I hope I’m facing you across the ring, I’m going to make you totally jealous as I show you just how good I am. And if it’s not you….”

Syren pauses for a moment and takes a few breaths.

Syren: “Then you can watch as I win the World Championship and flaunt it all over Hollywood like the champion that I am!”

The crowd boos as Syren just smiles as she brings the microphone down. The crowd continues to boo as “Groupie” starts to play throughout the arena. She looks at the crowd before turning and making her way to the ropes.

Knots: “Short and sweet. She wants Starr and she’s going to kick his ass.”

Sharper: “Surprisingly giving her hopes for tonight. I never thought I’d see that. Syren hoping Jake Starr wins on Night One. But also not with a favourite tonight.”

Knots: “Well she wants to face Jake Starr.”

Sharper: “You realize David Helms is one of those people in that match. She didn’t even pick him as the favourite!”

Knots: “Oh…well…um…that’s just mind games.”

Sharper: “I’m sure…”

Syren starts to make her way to the back.

‘I am done pretending’

The crowd roars before “Lights Out” plays throughout the arena. Syren stops herself as she looks up the rampway as she stands half way and Brittany Lohan walks out. Typhoid Mary stands with her and Syren stops and looks at her. The crowd cheers.

Knots: “Oh God!”

Sharper: “Brittany Lohan out here now with Typhoid Mary. And we are wondering what is going through her head…especially given Harmony Fisher’s comments earlier…”

Knots: “Then what the hell is she doing out now?”

Sharper: “I don’t know. But Mary has a microphone…”

Lohan takes a few steps, looking right at Syren the entire time. Syren stands her ground as Lohan walks up to her. Mary stands next to Lohan before handing her the microphone. Lohan just smiles as she looks at Syren. Syren’s eyes dart back and forth between Lohan and Mary before Lohan speaks.

Lohan: “Oh Syren…so confident until someone is right in your face.”

The crowd roars a bit.

Lohan: “It’s interesting how you’re so sure about your crowning moment at Riding the Lightning. You want to face Jake Starr so badly that you just threw your boyfriend under the bus. David Helms…you remember him. He’s in the battle royal…don’t care if he wins…Has a chance to be a triple champion. Interesting…”

Syren suddenly realizes her mistake.

Lohan: “Don’t worry…it’s irrelevant. It’s just fun to see you angry. Much like Harmony is angry because she can’t handle that other can do their own things…just like Jake Starr. The similarities are interesting…both of you are blonde…have your implants…think you’re owed honestly and truth…in fact, much like her, you’re only owed on thing…and that is being dominated by me. See, you may want to be the World Champion, but all that guarantees, should you win, is you have to face me.”

Lohan suddenly grabs Syren by her throat. She starts to squeeze. The crowd cheers as Syren struggles and Lohan just continues to choke her.

Lohan: “The question for me is whether I want to face you…Starr…or someone else. But unlike you who want to face Starr…I don’t care who I face…I have my terms. And I will do everything in my power to affect them…much like if Harmony Fisher or anyone else wants to test me before then…But Syren…just know…regardless….if you happen to get lucky and do all you accomplish…I will enjoy choking the final gasps out of your time at the top.”

Lohan then shoves her back as she just smiles. Mary just nods approvingly before Lohan turns and starts to walk to the back as “Lights Out” starts to play again.

Sharper: “Brittany Lohan with a message to Syren and also at the same time, Jake Starr and whomever could be champion.”

Knots: “And Harmony Fisher. But why? Just go to her yourself. Leave Syren alone!”

Sharper: “Look at Syren though…”

Syren just looks at Lohan as Mary smiles briefly at her and her and Lohan walk head to the back. The crowd cheers a bit as Breakdown cuts backstage.

The scene opens backstage as we see Tatum McGraw starting to leave the arena. She has the Underground Championship over her shoulder and her bags over her other shoulder. She continues down the hallway before Stacy Kissinger heads over to her.

Stacy: “Tatum! Tatum! Wait up!”

Tatum stops and turns around and looks at Stacy.

Stacy: “Tatum…y’okay?”

Tatum: “I’m great.”

Stacy: “Not stayin’ fah the rest of the show?”

Tatum: “Nah. I’m not feeling well.”

Stacy: “Is it cause of what ya did earliah?”

Tatum: “What earlier?”

Stacy: “You helped Blitzkrieg and Aiken with the Watsons. You saved them. I don’t undahstand-“

Tatum: “Don’t worry about it, Stace. Aiken and I just are having some words and talked. A bit of respectful chatter, nothin’ more.”

Stacy: “You sure…”

Tatum: “Ya…see ya later. Enjoy the battle royal.”

Tatum then turns and walks off as Stacy watches her leave. She looks concerned as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Syren walking backstage, clearly a bit shaken up before David Helms heads over to her, meeting with her backstage along with Ravyn Taylor and Tommy Valentine.

Helms: “Zoe…Zoe! Are you okay…”

Syren just looks at him and immediately stops.

Syren: “Oh God…I’m so sorry! I forgot about you. And Lohan…and Starr….and-“

Helms: “Relax…relax. Are you okay?”

Syren: “Yeah…just…sorry!”

Ravyn: “Stop apologizing.”

Syren: “Sorry?”

Helms: “Look, I don’t care that you forgot. You’re focused on Starr and kicking his ass, which we all know will happen. He’s not going to have any tricks this time. We’ll worry about me if I kick his ass on the first night.”

Syren: “So you’re going to win that battle royal?”

Helms: “Why not? Then we can have a hell of a match for the World Championship…and we both can be the stars. Plus, Starr having to watch us fight…”

Syren: “Heh…yeah, that would totally be awesome.”

Helms: “Just relax. You’re all tense. Enjoy the battle royal tonight and we’ll all go out and relax.”

Syren: “And Lohan?”

Ravyn: “She’s got Harmony to worry about…and I’m sure others. We’ll worry about her if we need to.”

Syren nods as they start to head down the hallway.

Gable Winchester vs. Chad Evans

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

"Our God, he's an awesome God

He reigns from Heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God, he's an awesome God

"Our God, he's an awesome God

He reigns from Heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God, he's an awesome God

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

"OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD."

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

"OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

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

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

Sharper: “I don’t know what to say about this man, except, we apologize to anyone offended by this man.”

Knots: “This fool. He’s God but now he’s a Christian. The guy has clear issues!”

Sharper: “I don’t know if he’s genuine or making a mockery, but I’m tending to consider the latter!”

A deep voice booms around the arena as the crowds are hushed, waiting for what would happen next.

“The Book Of Winchester, Page Three, Chapter Seven, Verse Nine…There was a dark and foreboding federation…nothing but criminals and geriatrics running riot…the place called out for a hero…a saviour that wasn’t of the Christian variety…that could bring a new sense of awesomeness to it’s very core…and rock the place to it’s foundations like never before…they found that man”

There is silence before various words show on the video screen.

DRAGONSLAYING

FOUNDATION LAYING

ALCOHOL SWILLING

LEGEND THRILLING

"Motherf**ker Of The Year" By Motley Crue hits in the arena as a microphone now appears on the video screen as Gable's voice can be heard echoing throughout the arena

"CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!"

This immediately sets the crowds off with jeers aimed toward the man that steps out onto the top of the ramp with "The Book Of Winchester" tucked securely under his arm as he walks forward and "Jack" can be seen behind him walking almost reluctantly with his mentor as Gable then stops and smirks at the gathered fans before holding the book aloft as blue fireworks shoot up from both sides of the stage and the crowds give him an unfriendly reception. Shrugging, Gable turns to Jack and gives him the book to carry before strolling down to the ring, barely even acknowledging the fans as he makes his way to the ring with his protege in tow albeit with nowhere near as much enthusiasm as Gable

EVERY TIME I TURN MY HEAD,
I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING THAT'S SAID
I KNOW THEY WISH I'D GO AWAY!

HERE I AAAAAAM AGAIN,
HEY NOW, HEY NOW,
I'M THE MOTHERF**KER OF THE YEAR!

The words on the screen keep on repeating themselves as Gable reaches the ring and slides in, and Chad then grabs the Bible and lifts it up and goes to nail Gable with it. Gable ducks and turns around and nails Chad with a hard right and then another. The crowd roars and some boo, while others cheer. Chad does not drop the Bible, instead, taking another shot before then gently placing the Bible down as he falls to his hands and knees.

Knots: “At least he’s treating that with respect.”

Sharper: “Gable Winchester ducking that shot and hammering away on Chad Evans. Evans putting the Bible down gently.”

Knots: “Yeah, you can figure it out.”

Chad pops up and Gable nails him again and into the corner. Gable kicks him in the ribs before firing him across the ring. Chad hits the corner and Gable runs after him, but Chad moves out of the way at the last moment. Gable hits chest first and Chad rolls him up with a school boy.

Gable kicks out. Both get up and Chad kicks him in the ribs and throws him over with a vertical suplex. He gets up and hits an elbow drop before getting up and stomping Gable in the face. Gable rolls over and Chad walks after him. He stomps him again as the crowd boos. Gable gets to the corner and Chad lifts him up and elbows him in the spine. Gable winces and falls to the corner. Chad then stomps him in the ribs before starting to stomp away on Gable as he is in the corner.

Sharper: “Chad stomping away.”

Knots: “The Man of Win against the Child of God…who used to be God….”

Sharper: “Two very egotistical individuals.”

Knots: “What?! Chad yes…Gable…he just speaks the truth. Now Kelcey Wallace, there’s someone who is egotistical. Perfect? Please!”

Sharper: “Her singles record seems to suggest it.”

Gable gets to a seated position and Chad stomps him in the face. He then backs up and walks to the middle of the ring. He turns around and runs at Gable, but Gable pulls himself up and elbows him in the jaw. Chad stumbles back and Gable nails him with a spinning heel kick. He then goes for the pin.

Chad kicks out. Gable rolls over and gets up as Chad stirs. Gable kicks him in the ribs and places his head between his legs. He goes for a move, but Chad blocks it and back drops Gable. Gable gets up and Chad grabs the arm, wrenches it, hits a spinning kick before catching Gable by the head and dropping him with a DDT. The crowd ohs and boos and Chad goes for another pin.

Gable kicks out. The crowd roars. Chad rolls over and turns before hitting a knee drop. Gable rolls away, holding his head as he starts to get up.

Sharper: “Hard knee drop by Chad Evans. Gable Winchester trying to get some space here.”

Knots: “Man of Win thinking strategy.”

Sharper: “More just trying to hold off an onslaught from Chad Evans.”

Chad grabs him and spins him around and chops him hard. The crowd woos. He then whips Gable across the ring. Gable bounces off the ropes and slides through the legs of Chad. Chad steps forward and turns around and Gable lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop before jumping up and nailing him with the That Just Happened. Chad hits the mat and Gable Winchester goes to the corner. He climbs up to the top rope. Chad starts to get up and Gable hits a moonsault onto Chad into a pin.

Chad kicks out. Both men get up and Chad turns to Gable only for Gable to nail him with a European uppercut. Chad stumbles back to the ropes. Chad then runs over and clotheslines him up and over the top rope to the floor.

Sharper: “That’s how you eliminate that later tonight. Neither of these two in that battle royal, but Chad is now on the floor.”

Knots: “Yeah and Chad probably wishes that was how this ends though.”

Sharper: “I don’t know about that. Chad Evans getting up. Gable watching him.”

Just then we see Shawn Mason and El Cuchillo walking out from the back. Gable however hits a vaulting press onto Chad Evans on the floor as the crowd cheers the arrival of two members of the Perfect World. Gable gets up and Jack just continues to look on, unaware of who is coming to the ring. Gable rolls Chad into the ring and gets up. He goes for the pin.

Chad gets his shoulder up before we then see Shawn Mason put his arm around Jack and start to talk to him. El Cuchillo glares at him as he walks past and then stands in front of Jack, looking at the ring. Gable gets up and turns to him and starts to yell from the ring. El Cuchillo just looks at him, almost daring him to come after him. Mason continues to talk to Jack. Jack glances over to the ring, but Mason turns him back to him.

Knots: “What? What are they doing out here?”

Sharper: “I don’t know. Shawn Mason, the manager of Kelcey Wallace is talking to Jack and El Cuchillo is standing guard!”

Gable yells at Shawn to get away only for Chad to come up from behind and suddenly to pull him back and drop him with the Overturn. The crowd ohs and boos and Chad rolls over and hooks the leg.

Chad then gets up and El Cuchillo steps forward and grabs his Bible. Chad just gets up before looking at him. He then stops before smiling a bit. El Cuchillo then steps up onto the apron before Chad just backs up and smirks before dropping to the floor. He backs away to the announce tables as El Cuchillo just looks at him before then tossing Chad’s Bible towards Gable Winchester. He glares at Chad as he drops back down. Mason then pats Jack on the back as El Cuchillo and Winchester turn and start to head to the back.

Knots: “If looks could kill…”

Sharper: “El Cuchillo staring down Chad Evans, obviously remembering what happened a couple of weeks ago. Chad backing off.”

Chad turns to Sharper and Knots, clearly hearing them.

Chad: “Quiet heretics!”

He then turns and rolls into the ring before grabbing his Bible. He then stands up before smiling and placing it over Gable Winchester. The crowd boos as Chad then backs away. Jack looks at the ring as Chad remains standing in the ring. Cuchillo and Mason make their way to the back.

“Rescue Me” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of all of the ten individuals in the battle royal. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Still to come, the battle royal to determine who will face Jake Starr on Night One of the Riding the Lightning weekend. Who will get the coveted World Championship opportunity, that and much more still to come!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jack walking backstage with Gable, clearly trying to stay in front of him, not looking back. Gable then finally grabs him and spins him around.

Gable: “Hold it!”

Jack looks at him.

Gable: “What the hell was that out there? I mean, I’m the Man of Win and I’ve got a hell of a book and I have a TRIOS TOURNAMENT SHOT…baby….you can’t be thinking about perfection?”

Jack: “No…no…Gable…they just came out…they offered me a spot…told me that Kelcey could lead me to my true potential, but I didn’t say anything. I didn’t turn my back on you, I swear. They offered it. I didn’t respond. I didn’t say anything. I didn’t do anything!”

Jack just looks at Gable as Gable looks up and nods.

Gable: “Fine…I believe you Jack…you’re a good kid….it just means that I’ve got to show Kelcey Wallace that she knows nothing of perfection if I’m not it.”

Gable then walks off as Jack watches him leave before we hear Gable off camera.

Gable: “Jack!”

Jack: “Coming!”

Jack runs after him as we head to ringside.

Steven Bauer vs. Maddy Steward

"All About The Power" by Jim Johnston begins to play and then there are a bunch of mini pyrotechnic explosions on the stage are. Tamara Todd comes out onto the stage holding a microphone and then Tamara yells to the crowd

Tamara: “EXCUSE ME! I SAID EXCUSE ME!”

The crowd boo’s loudly causing Tamara to get really mad as she motions for them to show respect.

Tamara: “SHUT UP AND SHOW MY MAN THE PROPER RESPECT!”

Tamara then snaps her fingers and Steven Bauer walks out onto the stage wearing a beautiful gold robe with “The Wonderful One” written across the back in black letters. Tamara walks over to him and wraps her arms around him and they then walk down the aisle toward the ring, just then, we see a figure run up from behind and drill Bauer hard in the back of the head, knocking him down and causing him to slide down the rampway a bit. Tamara falls over too as we then see N.M.E. standing behind them.

Sharper: “It’s N.M.E.!”

Knots: “That son of a bitch! This was going to be his crowning moment!”

Sharper: “He just drilled Bauer from behind.”

Tamara stirs and N.M.E. nudges her down with his boot before grabbing her microphone and nailing Bauer in the back of the head. He falls over before N.M.E. grabs him and rolls him into the ring. He rolls in after him and Bauer gets up, starting to take his gold robe off only for N.M.E. to blast him in the head with the microphone dropping him down.

N.M.E.: “Allow me…to do you all a favour…No more clowns…no more showmen….”

Bauer stirs again and N.M.E. then drills him hard in the head, knocking him out as the microphone cover shatters from the impact. Bauer just drops to the mat and N.M.E. crosses Bauer’s legs before locking in the Stockholm Syndrome. The crowd roars as N.M.E. lets out a yell as he pulls back on the head, even pushing up, to drive the head into the canvas for further leverage.

Sharper: “My God! The Stockholm Syndrome! He’s got it locked on Bauer!”

Knots: “I think he knocked him out too! What the hell?!”

Sharper: “Bauer is being contorted and destroyed by N.M.E.!”

The crowd continues to roar as N.M.E. keeps the hold on. Tamara turns, yelling at the curtains, a couple of officials finally come out as the official for the match tries to get N.M.E. off of Bauer. N.M.E. stops his yell and just gazes out at the crowd as he continues to keep the hold on. The crowd boos the officials as they enter the ring. N.M.E. keeps the hold on for a few moments longer before he finally lets go and rolls off and looks out at the crowd. He then gets up and looks at Bauer before looking at the gold robe. He grabs a handful of it, while it’s still on Bauer and just scoffs before throwing it down. He shakes his head before he then exits the ring. He looks at him before turning and starting to walk around. He then turns to Sharper and Knots and snaps at them.

N.M.E.: “Нет места для пены, как, что ... Всегда пожалуйста.”

N.M.E. then turns and starts to walk around the ring. We then go into the ring to see Tamara snapping at the officials and trying to get in close as they check on Bauer who holds his head and back in pain.

“Rescue Me” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of all of the ten individuals in the battle royal. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Well Steven Bauer not having the Breakdown appearance he’d like...”

Knots: “Nine others won’t be happy when the night is over too.”

Sharper: “Ten people, one title shot, who is going to get that shot at Riding the Lightning Night One…that’s going to determined later tonight! More to come here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up backstage to see Andre Jordan backstage as he just looks down at the floor, clearly coming to terms with his loss earlier. We then see Marisa Condolesa come over.

Condolesa: “Andre…can I have a word?”

Jordan looks up and turns to her.

Jordan: “Yeah…yeah…”

Condolesa: “Tough situation earlier tonight. Emotions getting the best of you.”

Jordan: “That’s one way to put it. I lost my cool. Helms took advantage and still is champion. That’s not the type of guy I am. I’m not the type of going that needs weapons to get ahead. I’ve always prided myself and trying to get it done myself…and I blew it. I can only hope I’ll get another shot. That’s about it-“

Orlando Cruze then comes into view.

Orlando: “Hope you’ll get another shot? Hope? This is the type of people we have on this roster? I mean I scratched and clawed and destroyed my own half-brother to get the contract for me to be here and you’re blubbering because, like the rookie you are, you screwed up. God…I guess I was always right that I could do better here than Shaun could. I at least knew where I stood. Good lord.”

Jordan: “What’s your problem? I have nothing against you Orlando-“

Orlando just scoffs.

Orlando: “The aw shucks routine…this is SCW. Grow a set and live with your decisions. Oh well…keep blubbering and hope….I’ll get my shot at gold before you get another one and I’ll love it. Good luck in the hoping.”

Orlando then walks off as Jordan just watches him leave. He then turns and Marisa turns to him.

Jordan: “Just…I don’t know. But I’m going to get another shot at Helms. I’m going to get a chance to show him that I can beat him one on one and without that…I won’t lose my cool next time.”

Just then Simon Lyman walks into the view. He shakes his head before turning to Marisa.

Lyman: “You’re interviewing him…the loser?”

Condolesa: “Excuse me, but-“

Lyman: “No. You’re focusing on someone that clearly is too weak to get it done. I overheard Orlando Cruze. He hit it on the head, but I’ll add one more point. He can be all great and such and talk about how he’s going to be fair in the ring. He doesn’t need to be a hero. I’ll be it. He can just enjoy the mediocrity he’s in. Stop wasting your time and people like him. Cherish it with heroes like me.”

Lyman then turns to the camera.

Lyman: “This interview is over.”

Lyman then turns as Condolesa can be heard apologizing to Jordan as we switch scenes.

The scene opens up to show Jim Dawson standing with Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan. Kennedy just looks at Dawson and leans on him a bit, clearly making him a bit less comfortable.

Dawson: “Um…I am here with Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan, the Cashmere Mafia and you have asked for some time.”

Kennedy just smiles a bit.

Kennedy: “Am I making you uncomfortable? I thought you’d enjoy the attention…”

Dawson: “Well I am happily married.”

Kennedy: “Are you? You seem to be really bothered.”

Kennedy then leans a bit closer, clearly enjoying messing with the SCW interviewer. Dawn then steps forward.

Dawn: “We did ask for this time. We’re looking to spice things up a bit. I mean with everyone making waves and Kennedy having a bit of fun too, I think it’s time that we give a little more competition to the Eternals and the Next Levels and the Dark Fantasys. I mean, this is a chance for some of us young teams to make a name for ourselves and well…we’re looking for a bit of competition.”

Kennedy then focuses a bit more and turns to the camera.

Kennedy: “Exactly. I mean, we’ve been amazing in the ring. We’ve shown everyone why we should be watched. It’s a matter of time before those Tag Team Championships are ours. But see, with the titles already seemingly being defended on Night One…I don’t know if we’ve gotten the attention enough…and well, I’m all about attention. So we’re offering anyone a shot to just stand across the ring and see if they want to suggest they’re a better offering than us for competition…Not likely…but you can try, right hun?”

Dawn: “We’re up to the challenge. I mean, we’ve stood up to them so far.”

Dawn smiles before she stops and turns. The camera pans out before we see the Mexican team of El Burrito Grande standing and both pointing at them. We then see an unmasked individual standing between them, also pointing at them.

Man: “My name is Miguel…Miguel Alejandro Fernando Roberto Jones…and I represent the greatest team in the history of Mejic-“

Taco: “A BURRITO OF HATE TO YOU BOTH!”

Miguel turns to the man known as Taco and calms him down.

Miguel: “I got this…”

Miguel turns back.

Miguel: “Now…as I was-“

Bell: “AND AN ENCHILADA OF PAIN AND SUFFERING TO YOU TOO!”

Miguel just shakes his head.

Miguel: “This is what happens when capitalism takes hold of you. It turns interviewers into perverts and you into loudmouths. And them with their fancy jewellry and spotlight hunting! I hate you all. And we will destroy you and your earlier convenience. AHHH!”

Miguel then storms off. Taco and Bell, El Grande Burrito look confused before turning and walking off awkwardly. Dawn just turns to Kennedy as Kennedy just turns to Dawn.

Kennedy: “What the hell was that?”

Kennedy just looks shocked as does Dawn. We then head to ringside.

The lights in the arena slowly dim, culminating in a sea of darkness. A male voice is heard over the PA system. His diction is firm, and fierce, as if trying to "rally the troops," or give a "pep talk" to someone, and his message is clear...

Rise up and take the power back,
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend!

After he finishes, there is a massive explosion of pyro from the stage. "Uprising" by Muse begins to emanate from the speaker system, and laser beams begin to fire around the arena. As the song reaches the opening verse, two spotlights drop onto the entry way where Jake Starr stands, back to the crowd, head looking down, and his fist pointed straight to the heavens. His arm is tense and shaking. He slowly turns his fist so it's now pointing "backward," and as he lowers it down, bending at the elbow, he spins his body around, and trusts his fist forward, directed straight toward the ring, to a huge roar from the audience.

Along with the thrusting of his arm, he begins walking toward the ring. His path is slow and steady, pausing several times to take in to account the fans holding their hands up as a sign they stand behind the Social Misfit cause. As the second chorus kicks in, Jake reaches the apron of the ring.

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
So come on

As the chorus plays, Jake climbs up onto the apron. He looks in all four directions, including behind him. As the chorus ends, and the "Hey" chants come over the loud speaker, the crowd is illuminated by bright white lights, and with each chant, thrust their fists skyward. Several fans have signs in the shape of the infamous "Misfit Revolution" fist.

Jake nods, and with one final show of leadership to the "followers" of the Social Misfit cause, he thrusts his fists skyward one last time, which ignites one final explosion of pyro from each of the four ring posts.

He then walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs up onto the second turnbuckle of one of the corners, and mouths the words, "You're looking at the best in the fucking world," and then points out to the crowd saying, "Nobody will stop me... Not in MY HOUSE!"

Jake then pulls the championship off of his shoulder, and hoists it up, pointing at it, and screams out, "THIS PROVES WHO I AM!"

Sharper: “Well folks, when we return, that man is going to join us here at ringside to call the action as we see ten individuals all go at it for a shot at that World Championship at Riding the Lightning: Night One.”

Knots: “He’s coming here?!”

Sharper: “Yes he is.”

Knots: “Damn it!”

The scene then fades to black.

Battle Royal to Determine Who Receives the World Championship Shot on Riding the Lightning: Night One

Breakdown returns and we see David Helms, Thirteen, Jesse Rose, Justin Davis and Regan Street standing in the ring. We hear “Cochise” as Collin Cole walks to the ring and up the steel steps as Siouxsie Blade walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. This battle royal about to start as everyone is coming to the ring. You see the ring starting to fill up and we’ve been joined her at ringside by Jake Starr.”

Knots: “Yeah…yeah…”

Starr: “Come on Jonathan. Don’t you want to take some potshots now?”

We cut to the announce table to see Starr smirking as he sits on one side of Sharper, with Knots on the other side. “Kick in the Teeth” plays as we see Harmony Fisher walk out from the back. She looks around and then starts to jog down to the ring.

Knots: “I’ll wait until you’re distracted. Won’t take long. Just have to throw some gold in front of you.”

Starr: “There we go!”

Harmony continues to make her way to the ring, before the music cuts to “Haunted” by Disturbed. We then see Joseph Englider walk out from the back as Johnny Dollar stands with him. He just points to Englider as they continue on their way to the ring. The crowd cheers a bit as Englider walks down and we get a wide shot of the ring, showing everyone in the ring.

NECRO!

The crowd roars as Shilo Valiant walks out from the back. The crowd roars as Shilo just focuses on the ring and we see a shot of Thirteen smirking as Shilo walks out.

Sharper: “Talk about a hell of a coincidence. After what was said earlier, these two in the same match…Thirteen and Shilo.”

Starr: “All the power to them. I’d love to face either, but if they kill each other, it’s all the same to me.”

Knots: “So who’s your favourite? Englider? Because he’s the new kid? You probably want the easy way out.”

Starr: “He can do some great things. I’d love Helms or Cole…just to shut them up.”

Shilo heads to the ring and slides in. He immediately heads to Thirteen and nails him with a hard right. Thirteen steps forward and nails Shilo with a hard shot. The crowd roars as the two of them start to trade blows in the middle of the ring. The rest of the competitors meanwhile remain out of the way as the match has not started. Shilo then turns and grabs Thirteen and goes to throw him out of the ring, but Thirteen spins through and lands on the apron. Shilo turns and runs at him and goes for a boot, but Thirteen sidesteps and pulls Shilo’s leg over, crotching him on the top rope. He then grabs him and pulls him down, forcing him down to the floor. Shilo rolls over in pain. Thirteen then looks at him before turning and diving off with a flying clothesline as the crowd roars.

Knots: “Not out! Not out at all!”

Sharper: “No bell starting. We’re waiting for the arrival of Hurse…”

Starr: “Or whoever is going to claim his spot.”

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

Starr: “Right on cue!”

As Thirteen gets up on the floor and Shilo stirs. We then see Katie Steward walk out from the back. The crowd boos heavily as TJ Johnson stands next to her. She takes off her tiara and her earring and hands them to him before starting to make her way down to the ring. We then see Devon Kayl run out from the back, Brittany Kayl with him, and quickly go over and stop Katie. He shakes his finger and stops her and Katie stomps her foot before yelling at Kayl. She then goes to scream, before Kayl then nails her with a hard right. The crowd roars. Kayl nails her again and Katie fires back with a forearm. A couple of officials from ringside head over to break them up before we then see Blake Mason walk out from the back. He runs out past both of them and Kayl notices this, turning, only for Katie to then cuff him in the back of the head, knocking him down. The crowd roars as Mason enters the ring. The referees then call for the bell. The bell sounds and we see Thirteen drive Shilo Valiant into the barricade face first. He falls over as we then see the competitors in the ring start to go at it.

Starr: “Here we go!”

Sharper: “Indeed we do! Blake Mason coming in and stealing the spot from Kayl and Katie! And they’re still going at it!”

Knots: “And Thirteen and Shilo are going at it just feet from me! Come on Thirteen! Maim him more!”

Thirteen drives him face first again and Shilo stumbles back along the mats. In the ring, Helms goes after Englider as Regan goes for Harmony Fisher. Cole and Mason go at it rekindling their rivalry, leaving Jesse Rose and Justin Davis. Rose nails Davis with a couple of forearms before Davis nails her in the ribs. Helms manages to get Englider in the corner and kicks him a few times before Englider manages to spin the Adrenaline Champion around into the corner and nails him with a couple of chops. The crowd woos with each other. Katie nails Kayl again as the official manage to force them apart in the entrance way. We then cut back to the ring to see Cole trying to lift Mason up and over. Regan and Harmony fight only for Harmony to get raked in the eyes and go to the ropes. Regan runs over and goes for a clothesline, but Harmony only gets up part way before falling back down. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “A bedlam of sorts going on here. Shilo and Thirteen still fighting in front of us. Meanwhile, Englider is taking out Helms.”

Starr: “Told you. The guy’s dangerous. How great would it be to watch him dump Helms over?”

Knots: “You’d just love that.”

Starr: “I would. I just said so.”

Knots: “Asshole.”

Devon and Katie are forced to the back as security comes out to the help the officials. Back at ringside, Shilo manages to elbow Thirteen in the ribs before elbowing him again. Thirteen however rakes his eyes. He then goes to go for the Last Breath, but Shilo blocks it before dropping down and driving Thirteen face first into the announce table. The crowd ohs and in the ring, we then see Regan stomping away on Harmony. Mason kicks Cole in the head and Cole stumbles back. Mason runs forward and clotheslines him down. We then see Englider start to lift Helms up as Davis shoves Rose back. He then nails her with a hard right, knocking her down. He goes after Helms, joining Englider.

Sharper: “Helms in trouble as Englider and now Davis going over to try and get him out.”

Knots: “Well everyone clearly worried about Helms as they should be! But this is a great time for someone else to come over and eliminated those two!”

Shilo gets up and Thirteen holds his head in pain, a bit of blood trickling down his face and Shilo quickly nails him with a clothesline. He then turns and moves to the ring before rolling in. The crowd roars as Shilo starts to get up. Helms manages to rake Davis in the face. Davis turns around and Mason kicks him in the ribs. He then nails him with a hard right before turning and whipping him into the ropes. He bounces off and Mason lowers his head only for Davis to kick him in the face. Mason stumbles back and Davis turns and goes to the ropes, but Regan Street runs across and jumps up, clotheslining Davis up and over the top rope. Davis lands on the floor. Helms goes up and over and lands on the apron only for Regan to turn and nail Englider. Englider turns around and she nails him with a hard forearm. Harmony runs along the apron and nails Helms with a clothesline. Helms however holds on as the crowd roars and he rolls in. Cole then gets up as Harmony starts to stomp away on Helms. Cole turns and goes after Jesse and nails her with a forearm. He then wrenches her arm and takes her down with a short-arm clothesline. Shilo gets up and quickly dropkicks him in the face.

Sharper: “Shilo now in the ring. Davis eliminated. Thirteen down in front of us.”

Knots: “Yeah, but if I was Shilo, I’d have just stayed outside of the ring. Can’t get eliminated.”

Starr: “Except he’s not a bitch.”

Knots: “Whoa?! Whoa! Where did that come from?!”

Shilo gets up, wincing a bit and grabs Cole. He lifts him up and drags him to the ropes. Cole however starts to fight back. Meanwhile, Regan keeps battling with Englider. Harmony starts to lift Helms up and Helms fights it a bit. Harmony knees him in the ribs before rearing back and kneeing him again. Jesse Rose gets up and quickly goes after Shilo and clubs him in the back. She nails him again before jumping up and hitting a dropkick. Shilo staggers to the corner. Rose gets up and goes over, but Shilo nails her with a back chop. She stumbles back. Cole goes over and Shilo nails him with a back chop and then Rose again before nailing Cole again. He then runs out and clotheslines both down. Harmony meanwhile knees Helms again before turning and backing up to the middle of the ring. She turns around and runs at him, but Helms lowers his head and back drops her up. She lands on the apron, but Helms turns and nails her with a jumping enziguri, knocking her off the apron to the floor. The crowd ohs and boos. Helms smirks before Regan is thrown back from the corner and Englider runs out and nails her with a leg lariat.

Sharper: “Englider out of the corner. Down goes Regan Street.”

Knots: “Well out went Harmony Fisher too.”

Starr: “Shame. The girl could’ve used the break.”

Knots: “Well, she didn’t land on her head. No help there.”

Sharper: “You have to wonder what Lohan was thinking there watching Harmony get eliminated and by Helms too.”

Starr: “Probably was too busy eating babies.”

Englider gets up and Cole stirs as Shilo turns to Rose. Thirteen goes to the ring and looks up. Shilo nails Rose with a hard right before then scooping her up and slamming her down. He runs into the ropes and hits a running elbow drop before getting up and kicking Cole as he gets up. Englider then runs over and grabs Shilo from behind. He sends Shilo up and over the top rope. Shilo however lands on the apron. Englider backs up and Shilo then turns only for Thirteen to grab him and start to pull. The crowd roars. Thirteen keeps pulling and pulling before Shilo boots him in the face. Shilo turns and Englider runs at him, but Shilo pulls the top rope down and Englider flips over the top rope and into Thirteen. The crowd roars. Shilo then rolls back into the ring. The crowd cheers. Regan starts to get up as Shilo looks at Thirteen.

Sharper: “Shilo managing to somehow get past Thirteen pulling on his leg and eliminating Joseph Englider!”

Knots: “His dreams didn’t come true!”

Starr: “He wants the shot! I’ll give him that!”

Sharper: “And now Thirteen just looking at Shilo. Shilo telling him to get into the ring. We’ve got to take a commercial break. Oh man…who is going to get this opportunity! We’ll find out when we return!”

The crowd cheers as Cole runs over and clubs Shilo in the back. Thirteen smirks and slowly enters as we go to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see a shot of during the commercial break.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown! This happened during the commercial break!”

Knots: “No title shot for Rachel!”

Sharper: “Blake Mason, who had been playing possum as all of the fireworks were happening, seeing a moment…”

We see Jesse Rose nailing Cole from behind. She then turns around and Mason grabs her and runs her over to the ropes and throws her up and over to the floor. The crowd roars.

The Breakdown logo comes up and we see Cole and Mason back to trading blows as Helms stomps away on Shilo. Regan and Thirteen meanwhile battle before Regan rakes Thirteen’s eyes and kicks him in the ribs.

Sharper: “Six remain in that ring. The winner is going to Riding the Lightning Night One to face you Jake Starr for the World Championship.”

Starr: “That they are. And this is going to get interesting. Some people looking for their first shots. Some looking for another.”

Regan grabs Thirteen and whips him across the ring. Helms meanwhile lifts Shilo up and nails him with a forearm. Cole kicks Mason between the legs and smirks as he starts to drop down. Cole just shakes his head before turning and running into the ropes. He bounces off and boots Mason in the head. He then poses in the middle of the ring as the crowd boos. Helms starts to lift Shilo up as Regan then runs after Thirteen and goes for a dropkick. Thirteen moves out of the way. Regan lands on her head and rolls over. Thirteen just looks at her before grabbing her from behind and throwing her over with a release German suplex. The crowd ohs. Cole then turns and sees Regan and grabs her and turns before going to throw her over. Regan however holds on and then drops to the apron. Cole turns and runs over and goes to nail her, but Regan counters by burying her shoulder into the ribs of Cole. Cole winces and Regan hooks him up before Helms notices this and runs over and nails Cole from behind as Regan then helps send Cole up and over to the floor. The crowd roars. Regan then rolls into the ring and looks up at Helms. Helms nods before turning around and Thirteen clotheslines him down.

Sharper: “Cole gone!”

Starr: “Damn shame. I would’ve loved to knock him around a bit.”

Knots: “Yeah, I’m sure. Until he’d kick you in the face and you’d lose your title.”

Thirteen turns and stomps Helms in the face before turning to Regan and kicking her in the ribs. He then takes her over with a double underhook. The crowd roars. Shilo then walks out of the corner and Thirteen turns to him only for Shilo to kick him in the ribs and hoist him up before planting him with a powerbomb. The crowd roars. Shilo then looks at him before grabbing him by the head. He starts to lift him up before turning and looking at him and kicking him in the ribs. He then turns and hooks him up again by placing his head between his legs. However just then, Helms runs over and clotheslines Shilo down. Thirteen falls to his knees. He then starts to get up and smirks before suddenly, Blake Mason comes over and nails him with a running boot to the side of the head and Thirteen goes up and over to the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “What?! What the hell?!”

Mason looks even a bit shocked.

Sharper: “Blake Mason just eliminated Thirteen!”

Starr: “Gotta always watch your back!”

Sharper: “Shilo taken down by David Helms and then Mason just as Thirteen was getting up, he struck!”

Shilo stirs as Helms starts to go after him. Mason still shocked gets up.

Knots: “Hey Mason! This won’t be perfect! But perfect enough!”

Mason turns and Regan runs over and nails him with a variation of the Love Tap. Mason falls back and starts to head up and over. Regan follows up by grabbing him and helping him over. The crowd sighs and boos as Mason falls to the floor. Thirteen gets up on the floor, holding his jaw and looking at Mason who is now next to him. Thirteen gets up as we then see Regan Street and David Helms standing across the ring on one side and Shilo Valiant slowly stirring. Helms looks at Regan as Shilo starts to get up.

Sharper: “We’re down to the final three! Shilo Valiant, David Helms and Regan Street!”

Knots: “Yeah and two of them are already booked for Night One. I hope the Board is ready to make some changes!”

Starr: “I don’t know about that. But you have to wonder what they are thinking. Not like I care. I take on any of the three.”

Sharper: “Wait a minute…look on the floor! Thirteen is eying Blake Mason!”

Thirteen then grabs Blake Mason and turns before throwing him hard face first into the barricade. Mason rolls over in pain as the crowd ohs. Thirteen then stops himself before turning back to the ring. He then looks up at the ring and Shilo starts to get up and Helms and Regan suddenly go over and both start to attack him. The crowd boos as Regan and Helms hammer away on Shilo. Just then, Shilo manages to get his thumb into Helms’ eyes. Regan kicks him in the ribs and goes to whip him out, but Shilo spins through and clotheslines her down. He then stumbles back to the corner. The crowd roars as Shilo then turns and goes to step out, but Thirteen hops up and grabs the arm of Shilo.

Starr: “Not again!”

Sharper: “Thirteen grabbing the arm of Shilo and preventing him from keeping the attack on.”

Knots: “Hey! He warned him! He warned him flat out!”

Shilo struggles with Thirteen before suddenly, Helms runs over and nails him with a running dropkick. The crowd ohs. Shilo stumbles and starts to go over. Just then, Helms grabs him and Regan runs over and joins him. The two of them start to lift Shilo up, and Thirteen jerks on him too and Shilo falls to the floor with a thud. The crowd boos loudly as Shilo rolls over. Thirteen just looks at him and smirks before backing away. Mason starts to stir and Thirteen walks around him and starts to head to the back. Shilo stirs before Helms just looks at Shilo before turning to Regan.

Knots: “And now there were two and I can live with either of these two! David Helms can beat you again Jake or Regan Street, now that she’s come to reason can show how far she’s come!”

Starr: “I wouldn’t mind kicking David Helms’ ass with the title on the line either.”

Sharper: “Regan Street or David Helms. Who is going to face Jake Starr on Saturday, April 20^th!”

Just then, Helms turns to Regan and nods before slingshotting himself over the top rope and dropping down to the floor. The crowd just boos while some look on in shock and Regan Street just smiles as the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner and the individual who will face Jake Starr at Riding the Lightning: Night One…Regan Street!”

Sharper: “What in the hell….”

Starr: “He jumped out! The son of a bitch handed Regan the win?”

Knots: “What the…”

Sharper: “David Helms just eliminated himself and handed Regan Street the title shot.”

Helms then turns to Starr.

Helms: “Good luck facing two blondes that would love to kick your ass.”

Helms then backs away before Shilo starts to get up and Helms just looks at him before kicking him hard in the ribs and throwing him into the ringpost for good measure. The crowd ohs and Shilo stumbles back. Helms then yells at him.

Helms: “See you on Night One! Better bring your A-Game!”

Regan Street then has her arm raised in the middle of the ring. The crowd boos as her music starts to play. She just looks to Jake Starr, smiling as Jake Starr looks on confused and shocked.

Sharper: “Regan Street has a World Championship opportunity-“

Knots: “She’s going to get a hell of a shot to show she’s really the Star of Tomorrow!”

Sharper: “But David Helms eliminated himself…”

Knots: “Looks like he wanted to face Shilo and Marina! You heard him!”

Sharper: “But…I don’t understand. This just adds more questions. We know the main events…but what do we make of this?!”

The crowd continues to buzz and boo as Regan Street continues to celebrate in the ring. Starr looks on as the scene fades to black…
