“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:

 

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Kelcey Wallace walking out to the ring with Chris Cannon and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Selena Frost locking the Frost’s Bite on Angelica Jones before showing Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on CHBK.
 
"They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams"
 
We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Tommy Valentine hitting James Evans with the Griever’s Bane. We see a shot of Rachel Foxx going to hit Syren with a sledgehammer before showing Syren ducking and her hitting Adam Sharper instead before we follow up with a shot of Syren celebrating with the SCW World Championship at Rise to Greatness.
 
"I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)"

 

A shot of Red Rayne spewing the Bloodbath into the eyes of Christy Matthews is shown before showing Dawn Lohan standing over Selena Frost. We then see Eli D’Angelo hitting the Salvation on Ace Marshall.
 
"I'll try to picture me without you but I can't"

 

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne and PUNK HAZARD carrying their banner.
 
"Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,
immor immortals
Immortals"
 
We then see a shot of Merrick Wiseman handcuffing Ravyn Taylor before showing Adrenaline Rush in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and AJ Helms and Shaun Cruze walking to the ring are shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping Rachel Foxx with the Catnap inside Tactical Warfare before showing Jake Starr and Greg Cherry driving Shaun Cruze through the steel chair at Retribution before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene then cuts to inside the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington. The cameras pan around the arena as we then hear from Adam Sharper.  

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Seattle for Breakdown! Rise to Greatness was a historic night and after a short hiatus, we are back.”

 

Winters: “And the boss is in the ring!”

 

Sharper: “Mr. D starting us off, standing in the middle of the ring.”

 

We cut to the ring as Mr. D looks around before turning to the corner, presumably for the cue to begin and then starts to speak.

 

Mr. D: “Welcome everyone to Wednesday Night Breakdown!”

 

The crowd roars as Mr. D looks around.

 

Mr. D: “We are now three and a half weeks removed from Rise to Greatness, a historic night that crowned a new World Champion. It also crowned new United States and Women’s Champions. We saw classic matches. We also saw the end of certain matters that frankly are finished, especially as far as I am concerned.”

 

Mr. D pauses as the crowd looks on.

 

Mr. D: “We are done with the continued issues between Amy Chastaine, Syren and Regan Street. Syren will be your new number one contender to the SCW Championship and Syren WILL face James Evans at Apocalypse in two and a half weeks, live on pay per view!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “It’s official. Syren defeating Amy Chastaine and Regan Street at Rise to Greatness. James Evans defeating Ace Marshall to win the World Title.”

 

Mr. D: “We also saw Red Rayne defeat Rachel Foxx…”

 

Winters: “Here we go.”

 

The crowd boos. Mr. D looks around and pauses for a moment, listening to the boos.

 

Mr. D: “Well I understand that feeling. The fact of the matter is that Red Rayne continues to compete in this ring to a high level and I cannot deny that. Meanwhile, my daughter is safely at home. My family is healing….and frankly, I need to as well. Part of that for me is returning to normalcy. To doing my job. And despite whatever hatred I hold for Red Rayne, I have assured the Board of Directors that I would perform that task properly and responsibly. Tonight, I have been returned to my decision making authority in the day to day operations of this company.”

 

Sharper: “That’s a big announcement. A big change and if he’s able to maintain a levelhead after the last eight months-“

 

Winters: “Big if though…big if.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit as Mr. D nods and then follows up.

 

Mr. D: “And there is some matters I need to clean up!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Mr. D: “Now first and foremost, this brings me to our Commissioner, Chad Evans. So Chad, could you please come out to the ring?”

 

The crowd cheers a bit.

 

Sharper: “The man Mr. D and his daughter, Sasha, named as the authority while they stepped aside given their issues with Red Rayne.”

 

Mr. D looks at the entrance way for a few moments before “Empty” by Combichrist starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd roars as a few moments pass before Chad Evans walks out from the back with Christina Matsui, representative of the Board of Directors. Chad has a bit of a smirk on his face as he walks down to the ring. Christina Matsui follows him down. Mr. D waits in the ring.

 

Winters: “He’s done a fine enough job. At least he’s open with what he’s looking for. Ratings. He wants attention. He wants eyeballs.”

 

Sharper: “That’s all nice and good. But there are some people concerned about some of his decisions, particularly the World Tag Team Championship match at Rise to Greatness and we should add, Red Rayne versus Rachel Foxx, that was announced to be a falls count anywhere match.”

 

Winters: “And Red Rayne proceeded to take a sledgehammer to Rachel Foxx who was tangled up in some barbed wire…and Rachel Foxx seemed to know about it beforehand.”

 

Sharper: “A lot of questions and we saw Matsui approaching Chad Evans about that decision.”

 

Chad Evans hops onto the apron. He then slowly pulls himself up and enters the ring. He ignores Matsui as Christina walks up the steel steps and steps into the ring. Chad Evans walks across and grabs a microphone. He turns and walks back over to the middle of the ring.

 

Mr. D: “Thank you for joining me, Chad.”

 

Chad: “Something tells me that I wasn’t exactly having a choice on this one.”

 

Mr. D: “Well that would be the case, especially since I am your boss. Now Chad, you were named the Commissioner two months ago to serve in the company’s best interests while I frankly was otherwise engaged.”

 

Chad: “And I think I did a hell of a job.”

 

Mr. D: “You certainly had your moments. The Ironwoman match for one. But with myself back and given full control, frankly, Chad, you are no longer needed in that position. And it’s probably not a moment too soon. I always wondered how you exactly got Rachel Foxx to agree to things and it’s clear that you decided to add your spin. Meanwhile, the Board of Directors has been trying to avoid moments just like the one you enabled at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Chad: “What makes you so sure that I changed the match? I mean, Christina thinks so-“

 

Mr. D: “Cut the crap Chad. Christina…show him the paperwork.”

 

Mr. D looks at Chad as Christina pulls out from her portfolio a piece of paper and hands it to Chad. Chad looks at it and just scoffs.

 

Mr. D: “Every match needs to be signed and there needs to be some paperwork. And you’ve signed that contract.”

 

Chad just looks down and chuckles a bit. He then nods.

 

Chad: “I see…don’t worry. I got it.”

 

Mr. D: “Good that you understand. Thank you for your time and your assistance during this period. You can take your leave.”

 

Chad hands the contract back to Christina. He then hands the microphone to Christina who takes it. Chad Evans then looks at Mr. D before smirking and stepping through the ropes.

 

Winters: “Well, that was interesting.”

 

Sharper: “You almost wonder if Chad wanted to take a shot at Mr. D. He’s done it before in the past.”

 

Winters: “I don’t think that’s what it is. Maybe he’s just surprised that they checked. I don’t know.”

 

Chad Evans turns and walks to the back. He just looks up and continues to smile, almost in disbelief, but continues. Christina says something to Mr. D as Mr. D nods and turns back to the main camera.

 

Mr. D: “Give a hand to Chad Evans!”

 

He then applauds as Chad stops a bit and turns back. The crowd cheers some more as he then turns around before continuing to the back. Mr. D then turns to the crowd.

 

Mr. D: “But I have plenty more to say. In particular, there is one decision I think needs to be fixed and rather simply. It involves the World Tag Team Championship. Chad Evans elected to play games instead of doing what should have been done. Adrenaline Rush was screwed out of the World Tag Team Championship and instead of getting a straight match, they were put in that situation where Money in the Bank even nearly used the match to try and steal the titles. Well, Adrenaline Rush, I’m going to give you one more chance. At Apocalypse, you will challenge for the World Tag Team Championship against Autumn Valentine and Gable Winchester!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Winters: “Looks like he’s fixing the mistakes he feels Chad Evans committed.”

 

Mr. D: “But this is it. Next week, we will start a four team tournament to crown the next Number One Contenders. But to ensure that this match will be something special and we’re going to make sure it has a clear winner. But instead of telling you, next week, Adrenaline Rush and our World Tag Team Champions, Autumn Valentine and Gable Winchester, we’re going to fly you to Toronto to join Christina here and we’re going to show you what awaits you.”

 

The crowd roars. Christina smiles a bit as well.

 

Winters: “Well that’s different.”

 

Mr. D: “This takes care of things right now for mistakes that needed to be fixed. I’m back in control and everyone in the back, everyone out here….especially after watching Rise to Greatness where I saw so many of in this company at their best…I promise you that you will have me at my best as you all deserve.”

 

Mr. D then turns and brings the microphone down. He then takes Christina’s microphone and turns before walking over to the ropes and handing them both to Jason Phillips. He turns and walks across the ring as Christina Matsui exits the ring and he follows.

 

Sharper: “An interesting way to start off Breakdown, not the way I expected. Chad Evans fired and we’ve announced a World Tag Team Championship shot, a rematch as Mr. D says he believes should have happened.”

 

Winters: “And in that, it explains something more. He didn’t mention it, but you know what I’m talking about. Money in the Bank-“

 

Sharper: “They’re gone. After all of their boasting, SCW has cut them from their contracts. Chad Evans not only gave them a long rope, but gave them a title shot and potentially in a way that gave them too much of an advantage, especially if they were able to manipulate Jynkz. Add then the situation with Red Rayne and Rachel Foxx and-“

 

Winters: “Guess those were too big of mistakes.”

 

Mr. D then starts to walk up the rampway with Christina, with the crowd buzzing. Just then, the lights go up and we hear “Commencement” by Nathan Whitehead. Mr. D stops and looks up as we see Christina Matsui. Mr. D turns back and steps back to grab one of the production crew members by the ring.

 

Mr. D: “Get security. Get them!”

 

Mr. D turns as Red Rayne walks out from the back. The camera gets a close up on her, showing her eyes bloodshot, bags under her eyes, and just glaring at Mr. D.

 

Sharper: “Red Rayne coming out and oh my God…”

 

Winters: “She looks like hell.”

 

Rayne looks at Mr. D and then just heads down and starts to go at him. Mr. D steps back as Christina runs back. Just as Rayne runs over to Mr. D and grabs him. She then throws him down and just as she does, we see officials and security members running down from the back. The crowd roars. Rayne drops down to a knee and tries to grab at Mr. D.

 

Rayne: “Give her back! She’s mine! MINE! MINE! NOW!”

 

Rayne is pulled back by one of the officials.

 

Sharper: “Rayne is just crazed. Almost unhinged. She wants Katya!”

 

Winters: “She thinks she’s her…and she won at Rise to Greatness. She damaged and hurt Rachel Foxx! And look at her!”

 

She then turns and gets free and goes to nail him, but another official blocks it and the guards runs over and quickly take charge, pushing her back and to the ring. She tries to fight off, but notably is unable to get free. They pun her back as a couple try to bind her hands as Mr. D gets up. He then backs up and turns to the officials.

 

Mr. D: “Get her out of here. I don’t care if you have to arrest her. We’re not doing this again!”

 

Mr. D just looks at them as security keeps holding Rayne back. Rayne weakly tries to fight back as Mr. D then backs up and turns away. Christina looks at Rayne before following him to the back. Rayne keeps trying to fight as the crowd just looks on stunned as we cut to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Chad Evans walking out of the building. The crowd cheers a bit seeing him as he steps out towards the production trucks. Jessica Winters jogs out to catch up to him.

 

Jessica: “Chad! Chad! Can I get a word?”

 

Chad stops and turns around. Jessica Winters stops right by him, microphone in her hand. She extends it to Chad Evans.

 

Chad: “Well are you going to be able to? I mean I’m not employed by SCW anymore.”

 

Jessica: “You left without much of a resistance. Just given your track record-“

 

Chad: “I know when a decision has been made…and when I could do NOTHING….to change it. He had the evidence.”

 

Jessica: “So you did make that match?”

 

Chad: “That’s what he and the Board of Directors said. I knew this would be temporary, and tonight proved it.”

 

Chad turns and heads off. Jessica Winters watches him leave as we cut to ringside.

We open up at the SCW announce table to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters seated behind it.

 

Sharper: “Welcome here to Breakdown. Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters here at ringside. We’ve just started here in Seattle, but it’s been a rather eventful night. As that just showed, our Commissioner was relieved of his duties.”

 

Winters: “Yeah. And in the process, Mr. D is back in firm control. The Board of Directors willing to allow him to run the show. Chad Evans also made some decisions they didn’t like, especially making Red Rayne’s match against Rachel Foxx at Rise to Greatness Falls Count Anywhere.”

 

Sharper: “Chad Evans seemed more defeated leaving than angry. I don’t know what to make of that. Along with that, Mr. D announced that Adrenaline Rush would get another World Tag Team Championship shot, owing to the fact he felt they deserved a proper rematch given what Money in the Bank did. Next week, both teams will head to Toronto to reveal the new concept for the match.”

 

Winters: “Don’t know what that means, but it’s a big opportunity. Adrenaline Rush has one more shot at the titles. Tag Contendership Tournament next week starting.”

 

Sharper: “But tonight, we have a massive main event. Mr. D confirmed that Syren would face James Evans for the World Title at Apocalypse. Tonight, Syren faces off against the former World Champion, Ace Marshall. We’re not fully sure what condition Ace is in after James Evans powerbombed him from the top rope into the barricade.”

 

Winters: “He’ll be sore, but he’s been cleared if he’s competing. We’ll find out what he’s got.”

 

Sharper: “We also will see Amy Chastaine face Merrick Wiseman for a TV Championship shot. A lot more going on tonight. We also saw Red Rayne taken away during the commercial break. What the hell else is going on?”

Stacy Kissinger vs. Gable Winchester

 

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

"GABLE-ITES! THIS IS FOR YOU!"

This immediately sets the crowds off with cheers 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 Gable. Autumn Valentine walks out with him and looks out at the crowd. Both have the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts over their shoulders. The two stand in the middle of the entrance way and look around as blue fireworks shoot up from both sides of the stage and the crowds give him a wild reception.

 

Phillips: “This match is your opening contest for the evening and is scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Autumn Valentine, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Gable Winchester!”

 

Shrugging and then smiling, Gable holds the book up in the air before lowering it and then strolling down to the ring, acknowledging as many fans as he can before he makes his way to the ring with a look of appreciation for the fans clear on his face. Autumn heads down with him, also high-fiving several fans.

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 puts the Book Of Winchester on the apron before he slides in. Autumn runs the remaining distance and slides into the ring as well, and both World Tag Team Champions hold the championships over their heads as the music continues.

 

Sharper: “Gable Winchester about to face Stacy Kissinger in our opening contest. You have to wonder what they’re thinking after everything announced earlier.”

 

Winters: “First off, they need to be happy they’re still the Tag Team Champions. Secondly, you have to wonder if they’re happy about Money in the Bank being done. Thirdly, they have to be wondering what the hell this idea is, especially when last time Adrenaline Rush and our Tag Champs faced each other, with no one else, they had them beat!”

 

The lighting completely turns off inside the arena and only the SCWtron is lit. It shows a set of deep brown eyes. It slowly zooms out to show the face of Stacy Kissinger. Some people pop in the crowd. The SCWtron zooms out even further until her entire frame can be seen before if zooms back in real fast to just show Stacy’s face. Her eyes blink and then close and the SCWtron goes to black.

But it's not a few seconds before the beginning of "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten is heard. A small bit of fog rolls out onto the stage and the familiar figure of Stacy Kissinger steps out and through the fog. The stage lights come on so everyone can see her holding a microphone, wearing a yellow and dark slate blue colored robe around her, the colors of Adrenaline Rush. Craig Thomas and Tyler Tucker walk out with her.

Stacy doesn't sing, but she does remove herself from the foggy stage and descends down the ramp as she looks around the arena a little bit, gently smiling.

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Craig Thomas & Tyler Tucker, representing Adrenaline Rush, from Dallas, Texas, she is Stacy Kissinger!”


Stacy completes her walk to the ring and slides in. Thomas and Tucker follower her down before going over to her corner. She then stands up and goes to the center of the ring and slowly spins herself around so she can view the entire arena. She then removes the robe from around her, pats a patch of each color that is on the robe before placing it on her corner's turnbuckle, revealing that she has on a short frilly black skirt and a red halter top that states "Feel The Rush", in yellow, on the front. Stacy turns her attention to the match that she's about to face as she goes to the corner of the ring where her Adrenaline Rush colored robe is. She places her special personalized microphone down in the corner. She then warms up for the match that she's about to take part in. Thomas hops onto the apron and says something to her.

 

Sharper: “A lot of history between Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger. They at one point were not only Tag Team Champion, but had a romantic relationship before a very messy break-up.”

 

Winters: “Made what Selena and Justin aired out on Instagram a few nights ago like a minor spat.”

 

Sharper: “But now, many years later, Stacy happily with Craig Thomas. Again, the two of them getting engaged over Rise to Greatness weekend. Congratulations to the couple.”

 

Winters: “Always good to see young people make stupid decisions.”

 

The bell sounds. Kissinger and Winchester look across at one another. They step out. Tucker, Thomas and Autumn look on from their respective corners. Kissinger and Winchester walk around the ring and then move to meet up in the middle of the ring. Winchester lunges and Kissinger drops down and spins under Winchester’s arm and to his back and forearms him in the back. Winchester winces. Kissinger nails him again and Winchester goes for a back elbow. Kissinger ducks and forearms Winchester in the ribs. She then turns and snapmares him over. She jumps up and hits an elbow drop. She goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

Gable kicks out and turns and starts to get up. Kissinger quickly grabs him in a side headlock for control.

 

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger has had a bit of drama as of late regarding that ploy by Money in the Bank and Jynkz. Jynkz’s sister even showing up for some revenge. She has to be happy Money in the Bank is gone.”

 

Winters: “She has to be happy she’s got a chance to shine here. That’s been going to Adrenaline Rush.”

 

Kissinger holds on as Gable pulls her into the ropes and then fires her off. She bounces off the ropes and Gable shoulders her down. He turns and runs into the ropes. Kissinger rolls over towards Gable. Gable hops over and bounces off the other side. Kissinger gets up and leapfrogs over. Gable ducks and bounces off the other side and Kissinger jumps up and hits a back elbow. Gable hits the mat. Kissinger goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Winchester kicks out. Both get up and Kissinger kicks him in the ribs. She goes to whip him into the ropes, but Winchester spins through and sends her in. She bounces off and Winchester hits a flapjack. Kissinger holds her jaw, rolling over and moving to the corner nearest Autumn. Autumn backs away just to ensure the referee doesn’t assume anything.

 

Sharper: “Hard flapjack. Gable hoisting Kissinger up and dropping her down, face first.”

 

Winters: “And Kissinger even getting to the worst corner to be in, that where Autumn is. Now, if Autumn had smarts, she’d take a cheap shot.”

 

Sharper: “But she’s not because she’s got honour.”

 

Winters: “Well honour doesn’t pay the bills. Just ask AJ Helms!”

 

Kissinger starts to pull herself up in the corner as Winchester walks over and knees her in the corner. She knees her again. Winchester then pulls her out and hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex. He floats over for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Kissinger kicks out. She turns and starts to get up. Gable grabs her and wrenches her arm and takes her down with a short-arm clothesline. Kissinger winces and turns. Gable grabs her again and hoists her up before scooping her up and hitting a back suplex. He turns and exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. Kissinger rolls over and gets up and turns to Gable who dives off and nails Stacy with a European uppercut. The crowd ohs. Kissinger hits the mat. Gable dives over and hooks the leg.

 

Sharper: “European uppercut, from the top! Kissinger jarred! She may be out!”

 

Winters: “And Winchester smartly going right for the cover. Someone has a working brain here.”

 

1!

 

2!

 

Kissinger kicks out again. She turns and Winchester grabs her and locks in a reverse chinlock. He pulls back. Kissinger reaches out as the crowd buzzes. Some cheer, some boo. Thomas starts to pound on the mat, trying to get the crowd behind Stacy. Stacy reaches around and tries to grab at the ropes. She even pulls down on Winchester’s arm to relieve some pressure. She then starts to turn, getting her feet under her. Winchester holds on as Kissinger gets up to her feet. She then elbows him in the ribs and then again. Winchester staggers back and Kissinger jumps up and hits a dropkick.

 

Sharper: “Kissinger getting free from the chinlock. Then the dropkick!”

 

Winters: “Kissinger coming back in this one. Winchester on his back foot.”

 

Both get up and Kissinger hits a second dropkick. Winchester hits the mat. He gets up and Kissinger runs over and kicks him in the ribs. She then turns and knees him in the ribs. She then jumps to the nearby ropes and dives back with a leg lariat. She then goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Winchester kicks out. Both get up and Kissinger grabs him from behind and hits a Russian leg sweep. She turns and pulls him into position before heading over to the corner. Thomas and Tucker cheer her on, as do many fans. She climbs up to the top rope and looks back and goes for the moonsault, but Winchester rolls towards the corner. Kissinger crashes. She winces and goes up to her knees and Winchester gets up and grabs her before dropping her with the That Just Happened.

 

Sharper: “Kissinger missed and big. Winchester didn’t hesitate. That patented enziguri!”

 

Winters: “Think that was a bit easier given their history.”

 

Sharper: “Please. That was years ago. They’re competitors and professionals.”

 

Gable turns and grabs her and drags her up. He then hooks her up by the head. The crowd roars as Gable hoists her up. He holds up, but Kissinger shifts her feet. She then lands on the apron. Gable turns and goes to nail her, but Kissinger blocks it and nails him. She then drops down and shoulders him in the ribs. Gable winces. Kissinger grabs him and pulls him out of the ring. She then nails him with a forearm and then another. The referee pleads with both to enter the ring. Kissinger then grabs Gable and Gable blocks it. He elbows him. Kissinger holds on and tries to pull him back and just then both jump back and throw each other off with an attempted throw, trying to drive one another, but driving each other into the side of the announce table. Both fall to the mats hard. The crowd ohs. (1)

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Almost right into our laps. Both hit our table hard!”

 

Winters: “Jesus. Talk about doing anything for your fiancé…or to your ex-boyfriend!”

 

Sharper: “Gable also got Stacy off. Both had the same idea, trying to force the other in, but they both directed each other into our table. They’re both down.”

 

2!

 

3!

 

Autumn looks on from a few feet away concerned as Thomas looks on very concerned as does Tyler Tucker. (4) The referee continues his count. (5) Kissinger rolls over as does Gable. (6)

 

7!

 

8!

 

9!

 

10!

 

Gable falls over to the ring as Kissinger winces, holding her side.

 

Phillips: “This match has ended in a draw via double countout!”

 

The bell sounds as Thomas heads over to Kissinger and checks on her. The referee steps down and joins in checking everyone. Autumn checks on Gable. Gable just waves the referee off of him to check on Kissinger. Kissinger stirs, grabbing at the announce table. Tucker and Thomas help her up.

 

Sharper: “Some concern on the faces of Autumn Valentine, along with Adrenaline Rush. Gable telling the referee to check on Stacy. Some class there. Kissinger also hurt, but getting up.”

 

Winters: “Looks like both will be fine, but Jesus. Driving each other off the apron. Doing anything to help out her team for Stacy and Gable, just I guess the competition got going there.”

 

Kissinger gets up and winces as Gable pulls himself up. He holds his side and the crowd cheers a bit. We then cut backstage.

We open up backstage to see Red Rayne, handcuffed. She kicks one guard, catching him in the ribs before the other guards jerk her back.

 

Rayne: “None of you will stop me! None of you!”

 

Rayne keeps trying to fight. The one guard is helped up by an official. We then see a couple of police officers coming into view. The police officers are with one of the security team members.

 

Officer: “She the one we’re taking?”

 

Security: “That she is. She’s causing problems.”

 

Officer: “We can handle that. We’ll put in a cell overnight. Let her calm down.”

 

Rayne just glares at the officers as she keeps fighting. The officers come over and go to grab her to accompany her out. She kicks again. The officers step back. We notice one placing their hand on their baton.

 

Officer: “Miss. You need to calm down or we will be required to use force.”

 

Rayne: “Give it your best shot.”

 

We then see Christina Matsui coming over.

 

Christina: “Can we please have her escorted out?”

 

Rayne notices her and then manages to get free and moves over before the officers then grab her and force her down to the floor. Rayne yells out before looking up.

 

Rayne: “He couldn’t even watch…ah…his own cowardice.”

 

Christina: “Just get her out.”

 

Officer: “Alright, miss. Come on.”

 

Rayne keeps trying to fight before they just start to drag her out. The crowd roars as we see them, along with the security team starting to drag Red Rayne out. Christina Matsui watches them take her out, accompanying the guards and officers.

 

Sharper: “Red Rayne is actually being arrested. Things may be changing.”

 

Winters: “This is someone who went to his house, who brainwashed his daughter. Why are you poking the bear? Especially when she’s looking like that.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. But she looks less stable than ever, but you notice that security was able to actually handle her. They got her bound. We’ve never seen them do that…”

 

Winters: “Then fine! She’s hungover!”

 

Sharper: “Red Rayne almost possessed here and Mr. D not even getting involved. Police called and Rayne is gone. Certainly a different tactic given the last eight months.”

 

We continue to see them leave the building as we then cut to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Ace Marshall walking towards the building with Cassidy Carter. They head towards the door before the camera pans back to show the police cruiser with Red Rayne now inside the vehicle. Ace just smirks as Cassidy does too. Ace then walks past and continues with Cassidy. The crowd cheers seeing the former World Champion.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall, the former World Champion, with Cassidy Carter, arriving here. A bit late.”

 

Winters: “And he just saw what we’ve been dealing with. Red Rayne being taken away by the cops!”

 

Sharper: “Well they got her into the car. Thank God for that.”

 

Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter head into the building.

Christy Matthews vs. Donovan Kayl

 

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans sing along with the lyrics as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose. Her fists are taped and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairytale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

...E B D O N E N T E R T A I N M E N T P R E S E N T S...

...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...

Phillips: "Introducing first, from Overland Park, Kansas, CHRISTY MATTHEWS!"

She begins to push her way down to ringside as security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way but far from successfully as the fans reach over to pat her on the back as she walks past. Christy makes her way down to the barricade, leaping over and begins climbing the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope, pulling down the hood of her jacket and striking the mock-crucifix pose once more. As the second chorus of “King of the World” hits Christy sings along with the lyrics, continuing to strike the crucifix pose before finally leaping over the top rope and spinning around in the ring, throwing her ring jacket to the outside and collapsing to a seated position in the corner of the ring as the fans cheer. She sits in the corner, looking out at the fans occasionally.

Sharper: "Interesting much up here. Donovan Kayl asking for this match against the Adrenaline Champion. With rumors floating around about an association between Alexis Quinne and Christy Matthews, could this be about that or is Donovan Kayl looking to prove he should be at the front of the line to the Adrenaline Championship?"

Winters: "I will personally lean toward the strap. Donovan Kayl victorious at Rise to Greatness, what benefit would there be to trying to continue the personal rivalry between him and Alexis? That's just asking for trouble."

"Epic" by Faith No More starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd begins to cheer. Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Phillips: "And her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Cornerstone of Wrestling, DONOVAN KAYL!"

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd, until the second chorus hits. Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby. He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly. He stands and steps toward the center of the ring, now face to face with Christy. She steps forward ready to start it but before the referee can even call for the bell they are interrupted as the opening to "Wrap 1.9(The Princess Sisters Remix)" blares over the P.A. system. Donovan rolls his eyes and towards toward the stage as this draws instant boos from the crowd while the lights start flashing green, silver and black with green lazer lights mixing in.

Sharper: "It looks like we have company. Donovan Kayl not impressed."

Winters: "Remember kids, it's apparently not over until Alexis Quinne says it's over."

All four members of PUNK HAZARD step out onto the stage, Alexis leading the charge as they quickly descend down toward the ring. They circle the ring, El Rudo by commentary as Kayl looks between them. The referee tries to keep some order until El Rudo suddenly jumps onto the apron. He puts one foot in as the referee runs over, telling him to leave. Kayl is suddenly spun around before being planted with the Happily (N)Ever After. The crowd oh's and begins to boo.

Sharper: "And Christy from behind! This could get very ugly now, very quickly!

Alexis, Dante and Grundy slide into the ring as Christy stands up over Donovan, now smirking at the display. Grundy and Dante both grab a hold of Donovan holding him up at the corner while stepping onto the apron. Alexis steps over staring Donovan in the eyes, her face emotionless. She then proceeds to laugh, smiling at him. Donovan tries to muscle out but finds he can't when suddenly Alexis lunges, driving her knee into his midsection. He bellows over a bit as Alexis proceeds to climb to the second rope, the look of rage across her face as she suddenly begins to pound away relentlessly at his face. She says something illegable over the crowd booing, Christy smiles while just watching. Alexis continues hammering away with her fists, he appears to be bleeding. She then drops to her feet before she places her hands on the top rope, now driving her knee repeatedly into his mid section.

Sharper: "Donovan Kayl held defenseless, unable to stop this assault at the hands of Alexis Quinne! Christy Matthews is just loving this!"

Winters: "Look at the expression on her face, Alexis has lost it. Donovan picked the wrong night at Rise to Greatness to fight back."

The crowd continues to boo now, completely against this assault. Alexis finally relents, appearing just short of breath as Kayl's head is down. He appears unconscious before breaking out into a coughing fit. Alexis' look of rage turns into a sinister smile as she slaps his face, now laughing. She takes several steps back preparing ready to deliver a running knee when El Rudo suddenly says something outside of the ring. The crowd begins to cheer as Angelica and Kayla Jones run out from the back. Alexis' eyes widen at the bat in Angelica's hands. Christy and PUNK HAZARD turn and slide out of the ring in unison as Angelica and Kayla enter. Angelica runs over toward where Alexis is, slamming the bat down at the top rope before stepping up on the first rope, leaning over and pointing the bat out at Alexis.

Sharper: "Angelica and Kayla Jones, the Sisterhood out to the rescue! Stopping this vicious assault in it's tracks as PUNK HAZARD and Christy Matthews are forced out."

Winters: "Who knows how much further this would have went. Maybe it was a rescue, maybe it was coming to make a statement as we are underway next week with the Tag Team Championship Tournament underway."

Sharper: "Angelica Jones also has an Adrenaline Championship shot against Christy Matthews in the near future. This was maybe knocking out two birds with one stone. Regardless they stand tonight together! What will the future hold?"

Angelica and Kayla continue to circle the ring as PUNK HAZARD head around the ring and start making their way up the ramp with Christy behind them.

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see Mr. D in his office with Christina sitting off to the side.

 

Mr. D: “So, who are we looking at for that?”

 

Christina: “There are a few options. Perhaps we give an opportunity to someone new.”

 

Mr. D: “Have to be careful there. Alright have the Daughters of Darkness getting a chance right after coming in-“

 

There’s a knock at the door. Autumn Valentine walks in.

 

Mr. D: “Ah, Autumn. Nice to see you. How is Gable doing?”

 

Mr. D stands up and extends his hand. Autumn steps in and shakes it.

 

Autumn: “A bit sore, but he’ll be okay. They don’t think anythings broken.”

 

Mr. D: “Good. What can I do you for?”

 

Autumn: “Well, I noticed that you have Adrenaline Rush and Gable and I heading to Toronto next week.”

 

Mr. D: “Yes. Excited about our new stipulation concept?”

 

Autumn: “Oh yes…just that…I’m booked. To compete. I have a match against Bree Lancaster.”

 

Mr. D turns to Christina.

 

Mr. D: “Don’t tell me that Chad booked some things ahead.”

 

Christina goes through her paperwork. She then grabs one of the cards. She then nods.

 

Christina: “Looks like it.”

 

Mr. D: “One of the first times the guy actually plans ahead. Well, that should be a fine match. I’ll say this. Gable will be safe going up there. Security will be there. We’ll keep the match and maybe get your response immediately after we make the announcement. How does that sound?”

 

Autumn: “Oh…okay. I guess that works.”

 

Mr. D: “Thanks for mentioning this. You can let Gable know that his plane ticket will be given to him at the end of our loop this weekend.”

 

Autumn: “Alright…”

 

Autumn turns a bit dejected before leaving. Mr. D then turns to Christina.

 

Mr. D: “Now where were we?”

 

Christina moves back to her notes as we cut away to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage to see AJ Helms, Shaun Cruze, Angyalka Cruze, and Scarlett Pearson walking down the hallway. The crowd cheers seeing them.

 

Scarlett: “Stop beating yourself up. You had a hell of a match.”

 

AJ: “Still, to get some revenge, to do it as we should be, in that ring-“

 

Shaun: “And at some point you’ll get the opportunity. Right now, we can do what we want to do. Next week, Tag Team Championship contendership. We’ve got Sisterhood first round. First match they’ll be back.”

 

Scarlett: “And look at them.”

 

Shaun: “Exactly.”

 

Angyalka: “Angelica may have her Adrenaline Title shot, but their focus on singles realized they should be a team. Just a reconsideration.”

 

Shaun: “Plus, AJ, you have the Trios Tournament. Hold off, get better. Maybe challenge him again.”

 

AJ: “Yeah…well…we’ll figure that out. Just feel like I let you do-“

 

Just then as we get to the end of the hallway, Angyalka slips and falls. She winces and turns, holding her backside. Shaun bends down and checks on her.

 

AJ: “Whoa-Angyalka.”

 

Shaun: “Ang, you okay?”

 

Angyalka: “Oh yeah…just…”

 

Scarlett: “What’s that smell?”

 

AJ blinks, clearly showing that something is affecting him.

 

Scarlett: “Like Old Spice…”

 

Angyalka: “And vinegar.”

 

Shaun: “What’s this on the ground?”

 

Shaun touches the ground, seeing it as wet. He then smells it and feels it.

 

Shaun: “It’s oil.”

 

AJ: “Oil?”

 

The camera then pans, following the oil slick as the Cruzes, Scarlett and Helms look up. We then see the camera pan over to see Derek Adonis and Manvel standing proudly a few feet away.

 

Manvel: “Anyone need a battle royal won, daddy?”

 

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

 

The camera abruptly cuts back to the Cruzes, Scarlett and AJ.

 

AJ: “Oh, we need to win that tournament next week.”

 

Angyalka: “You mean you don’t want that to be the face of Tag wrestling in SCW?”

 

Shaun: “Relax…they’re not in it next week…Thank God.”

 

Shaun helps Angyalka up as the crowd roars and we cut away.

Kelcey’s voice begins to speak….

”Perfection doesn’t mean executing the Perfect action in a Perfect World but the appropriate actions in an Imperfect one. You have never truly believed in a notion that so many deemed it just simply doesn’t exist. As you continue struggling in your life wondering what failure comes next all I ask that you do is look upon me, the woman that has always claimed her Perfection. It is not a myth, it is a way of life, for you the cries of reality echo through the halls of this company….

But the truth knows your limitations, I have known for you see, while you were born to be real?

I was born to be Perfect.”

The lights in the arena go out as boos come from all over the arena. A few moments pass before we see Shawn Mason walk out from the back. He just smiles as “Exodus” then starts to play. The crowd boos some more before we see Shawn Mason glance back as Kelcey Wallace walks out from the back with Chris Cannon with her. The trio look around the arena, soaking in the boos.

 

Sharper: “We are not expecting Kelcey Wallace at this point. A bit later, we will see Chris Cannon face Selena Frost.”

 

Winters: “Well if Kelcey Wallace wants to talk, they’re going to let her. That’s the power of Perfection.”

 

Sharper: “Don’t you get started too.”

 

Kelcey Wallace starts to walk down the rampway with Chris Cannon walking with her. Shawn Mason walks a few strides behind them as the trio heads down to the ring. Shawn walks over to the ring and hops onto the apron. He then holds the ropes open as Kelcey Wallace walks up the steel steps. She then enters the ring. Shawn Mason steps in after as Chris Cannon follows last. The trio then walk around the ring before Shawn Mason is handed a microphone. He then turns and walks back over to the middle of the ring, handing it to Kelcey Wallace. The crowd just boos some more. Kelcey just smirks as she starts to speak.

 

Kelcey: “This disrespect is not going to change anything, except for the fact that you are all wrong and need to realize that now that I am here, everyone is going to care a lot more about this event.”

 

The crowd boos as Kelcey looks around. Chris Cannon just laughs as Shawn Mason shakes his head.

 

Kelcey: “Let’s face it that the more that I am on this program, the more people take notice and so, tired for waiting in the back for my husband to kick Selena Frost’s ass all over this building, I elected to end the suffering and come out now. But not only that, I am going to start righting the course and allow a mulligan.”

 

The crowd boos as Kelcey looks around.

 

Sharper: “What is she talking about?”

 

Kelcey: “See, at Rise to Greatness, Katelyn, you tried really, really hard. You showed that you weren’t the bottom barrel scum of a person who frankly had no business even being in the same building as me, let alone ring….to being someone who at least didn’t embarrass herself. Take that as a win, but let’s face it…you were up against Perfection and you came up short. Why? Well, you’re not perfect.”

 

The crowd boos. Kelcey just smiles.

 

Kelcey: “I merely confirmed it. There is only one person in this company who is and that is me. Which leads me to what I have in mind…”

 

Kelcey pauses as the crowd boos some more. Chris applauds his wife.

 

Kelcey: “As I said, I’m offering a mulligan. See, last month, I elected to not save Rise to Greatness, or this company, by reclaiming the World Championship….”

 

The crowd boos some more.

 

Kelcey: “And instead offered an open challenge. Katelyn happened to be quicker. Clearly Selena Frost was too busy wondering if her wife was still bubbly as ever, or maybe someone threw a ball of foil and she got distracted. But I’m going to make this simple. She hasn’t shut up about that missed opportunity and frankly, there’s a big receipt I owe you for your fraudulent victory at the Best of the Best Tournament. An errant kick, an overzealous official who was out for himself, and you managed to get the biggest win of your career…a win that should’ve been mine. Well, I’m giving SCW the ability to set the reset button. Selena too. We can right everything and remind everyone that I AM the Best of the Best and the Year of Selena Frost doesn’t hold a candle to the Year of Perfection 2016 SHOULD have been.”

 

Kelcey then pauses as there are more boos.

 

Kelcey: “So-“

 

“BELIEVE IT!”

 

The crowd roars as “What I Believe” by Skillet plays throughout the arena. We then see Selena Frost walk out from the back in her wrestling attire, clearly ready for her match a bit later.

 

Sharper: “Ask and you shall receive. Selena Frost obviously having enough of Kelcey’s posturing and got the hint.”

 

Winters: “Well she wanted it. Time to see what she’s made of.”

 

Kelcey brings the microphone down as Selena brings the microphone she has with her to her mouth.

 

Selena: “We’ve gotten the point Kelcey. We’ve had the point for a long, long time as we know full well you can’t let anything go. Just like you need to take a shot at Ravyn Taylor every chance you get, at Mr. D or whoever is in charge for not handing you a title shot, at CHBK even for forcing Trinity out, or even as petty as you and your husband have been with AJ Helms, or Shaun Cruze, or Blake Mason, getting your fingers into everything.”

 

Selena looks at her as the crowd boos a bit.

 

Selena: “And especially with me. But I’m coming off beating one arrogant, flawless diva, by doing the same thing I did to you. I defied gravity, knocked her down and shut her up. Now you’re offering me the opportunity to do it now.”

 

Kelcey smirks.

 

Kelcey: “Yes, opportunity. One you will never be able to take advantage of, as let’s face it-“

 

Selena: “You’re perfect. We get it.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Selena: “Keep shouting it from the rooftops. But if you’re so willing to press the reset button, are you going to do it just like a kid who realizes they can’t beat the same boss over and over again. Well, figure that out, because at Apocalypse, you’ll have to. You’re on!”

 

The crowd cheers as Selena then looks at down at the ring. Kelcey goes to respond.

 

Kelcey: “Excellent, or dare I say perfect. Too bad that you’re going to trip out of the gates just like everyone in the hurdles at the Olympics hopes not to do. See, you’re facing my husband in a little bit. And Chris remembers something you said in a little interview on supremecw.com…what was that?”

 

Kelcey turns and extends the microphone to Cannon.

 

Cannon: “You were thinking of gunning for the US Championship in the future…”

 

Cannon laughs. Kelcey then follows up.

 

Kelcey: “Funny enough, so is he! Don’t trip.”

 

“Exodus” starts to play. Selena just looks on as Kelcey turns back and hands the microphone to Shawn Mason. Shawn takes the microphone and turns back, handing it off to Jason Phillips as Chris Cannon keeps his eyes on Selena.

 

Sharper: “A huge match agreed to by Selena and Kelcey. A match both women want and you can tell. No love lost here.”

 

Winters: “But Selena has to worry about Chris Cannon, still to come here tonight.”

 

Sharper: “Kelcey and Cannon made the importance of that match here. It’s now got the added potential influence regarding future US Championship shots. It’s also a big match as Kelcey Wallace will be watching it closely and Chris Cannon will get some good scouting for her.”

 

Winters: “And remember, last time Cannon and Selena faced off, it ended in a double countout with Selena nearly knocking Cannon out.”

We open up in the locker room of Ace Marshall to see him and Cassidy Carter in the room. Ace throws his tights up and down onto the bench in the room. We then see Katelyn Buehler step inside. The crowd cheers.

 

Katelyn: “Ace…you’re here.”

 

Ace: “Don’t worry. James couldn’t break me in two. Tried, but too weak to get the job done.”

 

Katelyn hugs him and Ace winces a bit.

 

Cassidy: “Hey…don’t break him. That’s my job.”

 

Katelyn: “Oops…just…wow. James did that.”

 

Ace: “I guess he wanted it more.”

 

Katelyn: “You and I both know it was more than that.”

 

Ace just nods. Katelyn just shakes her head.

 

Katelyn: “And now he’s champion.”

 

Ace: “And think about who he’s facing.”

 

Katelyn: “Oh God. Syren. And he hates Syren. Always has.”

 

Ace: “Yeah.”

 

Katelyn: “Does she know what she’s getting into?”

 

Ace: “She will.”

 

Katelyn: “Are you going to say anything-“

 

Ace: “Relax. We’re facing each other lately. Plan to ask her for drinks after.”

 

Cassidy: “Ah…you’re cheating on me already!”

 

Ace: “Well we haven’t told the world yet, so yeah.”

 

Cassidy mockingly crosses her arms and turns away.

 

Katelyn: “Uh…what? I’m missing something.”

 

Cassidy then turns and flashes her finger, smiling.

 

Katelyn: “You’re engaged?”

 

Ace: “Yup.”

 

Katelyn: “I didn’t know you two were dating!”

 

Cassidy: “We’re not. Kennedy just assumed.”

 

Katelyn: “Uh…”

 

Ace: “It was something to do. We were bored.”

 

Katelyn: “So you got engaged?!”

 

Cassidy: “Now, about Syren? Just be back before two a.m. and remember, wear a condom!”

 

Ace: “Yes, dear….”

 

Katelyn: “Ace!”

 

Ace: “What? I’m not actually going to try anything. Ravyn may be there and she scares me. Plus, it’s serious tonight.”

 

Things suddenly get very serious again in the room with all of the smiles fading.

 

Cassidy: “She needs to know how creepy that son of a bitch really is.”

 

Ace nods as Katelyn takes a deep breath.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon and Shawn Mason walking through the hallway. The crowd boos seeing them before we see Mr. D walking up to them.

 

Kelcey: “Oh good, this should be fun.”

 

Mr. D: “Can it Kelcey. I’m not going to waste more time here than I have to.”

 

Kelcey: “Then make it snappy.”

 

Mr. D: “Alright. If you interfere in your husbands match tonight in anyway, including even walking to ringside, you’re suspended.”

 

Mr. D then turns and walks off. Kelcey just glares at him as the crowd roars. Shawn just shakes his head as we cut away.

We open up backstage to see Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason standing in the locker room area.

 

Bree: “Did you see what she was wearing? This is professional wrestling-“

 

Blake: “Some people just need to make sure they get attention. You’ll do it by winning the Women’s Championship. That simple.”

 

The crowd boos faintly.

 

Bree: “We’ll just see what happens. I’m not too worried about who looks better in lingerine.”

 

Blake: “Because you know the answer to that.”

 

Bree smiles as Blake and Bree kiss before we hear the sound of someone clearing their throat. The camera pans back as Bree and Blake look over as we see Casey Holliday standing a few feet away from them. The Seattle crowd cheers for their hometown wrestler.

 

Casey: “Good to know you guys have that down.”

 

Bree: “What do you want Casey?”

 

Casey: “Well I figured I’d just hear it from the horse’s mouth. What the hell was that the pre-show?”

 

Bree: “What was what? I won.”

 

Casey: “Yeah, by making sure you took advantage of what I did.”

 

Bree steps forward.

 

Bree: “Look…I’m sick of scuttling. Blake too. We didn’t cheat. We didn’t take a cheap shot. We took advantage of what was in front of us and I happened to win. Now I’ll face Sienna. It’s that simple.”

 

Casey: “Alright then.”

 

Blake: “You know. You should take that approach. What you did against Katie? She deserved that. Using a chair. Running them off. Maybe use that approach against Starr.”

 

Casey: “What me to use a chair?”

 

Bree: “No…use the rules as they’re written.”

 

Bree and Blake turn and walk off. Casey just looks at them as we then cut away.

Katie Steward & Gigi Steward vs. Adrenaline Rush (Tyler Tucker & Craig Thomas)

 

The big screen buffers for a few seconds before fancy gold writing spreads across the screen.

“I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!”

The lights in the arena begin to dim, and at same time the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “We Remain” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system. Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of The Stewards are captured on the video screen. This beautiful display encourages and prompts fans to boo loudly. Gigi walks out on the stage dressed in her ring gear and wearing her Team Desire jacket. The hood of the jacket covers her head, and the pink embroidered “PRINCESS” stands out against the rest of her outfit. Gigi walks to the top of the stage and stops. She gets down on her knees and listens to the fans. Gigi raises her head removing the hoodie and cups her hands over her mouth letting out her own Goddess Scream and that signals to Katie Steward that it’s her time to enter the scene. Katie steps out from behind the curtain and joins Gigi on stage. Her long flowing pink ring jacket hugs her slim frame and the white boa feathers circle around and frames her gorgeous face. Katie stands on the center of the stage smiling and poses for the crowd as her tiara sparkles and glitters like gold from the spotlights. Katie walks over to Gigi who stands up on her feet. The Steward girls share a hug and continue to make their way towards the ring.

Phillips: "The following tag team contest is set with a time limit of fifteen minutes. Introducing first, at a combined weight of 229 pounds, Katie and Gigi Steward, TEAM DESIRE!"

When they get to the bottom of the ramp and go their separate ways. Gigi walks around the ring while ignoring the fans at ringside. Katie pulls herself up on the apron and as she stands up she flips her long blonde hair back. Her tiara of course stays perfectly on her head as she slides between the top and middle ropes and she joins Gigi in the middle of the ring. These incredible ladies simultaneously take off their coats and tiara and hands them over to the official at ringside, then they proceed to warm up getting ready for their match.

Winters: "Ever the sight to see in their arrival. We're seemingly short of the Horsewomen and TJ Johnson. I confess I am more than happy with the latter the latter."

Sharper: "Both Stewards will be looking to come in hard after Rise to Greatness. Katie's reign as Champion ending promptly at the hands of Sienna Swann, Gigi coming up short in the contendership match. They are set to take on a team we know definitively will be challenging next for the Tag Team Championship. The Stewards could make a statement here tonight toward reestablishing their own claim to that privilege."

“Adrenaline” by Shinedown begins blasting through the arena as blue and yellow lights pulse rapidly in an alternating fashion on the stage. As the opening guitar riffs of the song come to an end, blue and yellow pyro goes off on stage, and when the lyrics start Tyler Tucker excitedly leaps through the smoke and starts getting the fans amped up for the impending match. Right behind him is Craig Thomas with a rare smile on his face as he puts an arm around Tyler’s shoulders and points out to the cheering fans. Stacy Kissinger steps out behind them, cheering and clapping for the pair.

Phillips: "And their opponents, accompanied to ringside by Stacy Kissinger, at a combined weight of 415 pounds, Craig Thomas and Taylor Tucker, ADRENALINE RUSH!"

When the song hits the chorus they both break into a full sprint down the ramp and simultaneously slide into the ring. They go to climb opposite corners and point out at the fans before climbing down and going to pose in the center of the ring, Tyler sliding onto his knees in front of Craig and extending his arms with a big smile as Craig puts a calming hand on his friend’s head, the smile now leaving his face as his usual emotionless expression takes over. Craig helps Tyler to his feet and the friends convene to their corner to discuss strategy for the match ahead. Kissinger stands by at the apron at their corner, Gigi stretching as she prepares to start the contest. Craig turns and does much of the same as he stretchs his neck before taking steps toward the center of the ring.

Sharper: "Gigi set to start this contest with the powerhouse of Adrenaline Rush, Craig Thomas. Adrenaline Rush while at Rise to Greatness were unfortunately left out of the equation as the reigning Champions retained in the fatal fourway. Money in the Bank were unsuccessful in their endeavours and have left the company."

Winters: "They have the right combination to make it big in the division. In this case they very much have the power part of the equation here however are both far less experienced than both of their opponents. Kissinger obviously here to handle any distractions from the Horsewomen who are oddly absent. Who knows if that'll last?"

Gigi reaches her hands up and grapples Craig as the referee calls for the bell. Craig easily begins to muscle her back towards the ropes. Gigi releases the grapple and ducks under his arm before wrapping her arms around his wrist, now trying to push him into the ropes. Craig looks around awkwardly as she then goes to roll him up. He remains standing before reaching down and grabbing her arm. She yelps as he pulls her up from between his legs before hoisting her on his shoulders before turning and dropping her with a scoop slam. Gigi cringes before pulling herself up to her feet. Craig grabs her by the arm and whips her into the ropes. As she comes back he connects with a back throw. She flies briefly before falling on her back. Craig grabs her by the arm and leg before quickly dragging her into his corner and making the tag. Gigi starts crawling way. Craig run across the ring and bounces off the ropes as she stands. Tyler comes up behind her and the duo connect with a double shot. The crowd cheers as Tyler jumps to his feet and starts getting amped up while Craig gets back on the apron.

Winters: "Gigi outpowered and double teamed early into this contest. Craig Thomas just too much mass to contend with."

Sharper: "Tyler Tucker now in the ring. A very mixed pairing, They compensate for what they each lack in terms of attributes, making them versatile and dangerous as a team."

Gigi stands just as Tucker runs over and connects with a flying forearm. He lands back on his feet before grabbing and pulling her back up. He connects with a chop and then a second, before going for an uppercut. Gigi steps back into the ropes narrowly avoiding the shot. Tyler shoves her back into the ropes. She leaps as she bounces off of them and connects with a dropkick to the chin. Both stand up quickly as Gigi goes for a forearm to the jaw. She connects, causing him to reel back. She connects with a second before then spinning and connecting with a discuss elbow shot that knocks him down. She starts stomping away at him as he pulls himself up. She wraps her arm around his head going for a DDT. He knees her in the mid section before spinning out with her arm in hand, pulling it back into a chicken wing lock behind her back. He delivers an elbow to the back of the head before leaping up and from behind her back connecting with an enziguiri to the back of the head. He runs over and tags Craig in as the crowd starts to cheer, getting behind them. Katie tries to get into the ring which distracts the referee as Adrenaline Rush step toward Gigi. She suddenly kneels up throws both of her arms up, low blowing both of them, causing Tyler to fall to the mat before rolling out of the ring, Craig dropping to a knee. The crowd boos as she spins around, Kissinger trying to get the referee's attention. Katie steps back onto the apron just as Gigi turns and runs over to make the tag. Katie jumps into the ring before running over to Craig while he is still down. She connects with several lefts and rights just as he starts to pull himself up to his feet. He falls back into the ropes before coming in hard with a clothesline. Katie ducks under the arm. Just as he turns she meets him with a super kick to the jaw.

Sharper: "Katie with a super kick! Gigi managing to slow them down with the low blows behind the referee's back, Katie now stepping in to take advantage and seize momentum."

Winters: "Lesson of the day, referees need eyes in the back of their heads when a Steward is involved."

Katie begins to stomp away at Craig as he goes to pulls himself up to his feet. She connects with several strikes to the face. He catches her arm and goes to pull her in for a standing clothesline. She ducks it before turning and leaping up. Just as he turns around she catches her legs around his neck before throwing him forward with a hurricanrana. He lands throat first against the second rope. She immediately jumps up on the back of his neck while grasping the top rope, using her feet and the second rope to strangle him. 1! 2! 3! 4! Katie jumps off before running forward and delivering a boot to his spine. The crowd boos as she smiles smugly at Kissinger on the apron. She grabs Craig by the shoulder and goes to pull him off the rope. He turns into several shots. He falls into the ropes just as Tyler tags himself in. She tries to whip Craig into the opposite ropes only for him to reverse it, sending her flying. Tyler springboards himself off the top rope before connecting with a front dropkick to the face. The crowd cheers as Craig exits onto the apron and Tyler immediately flips back to his feet. Katie gets to her feet only to be met with a clothesline knocking her back down. Tyler bounces off the ropes just as Katie pulls herself up only to be met with a second. Tyler drops down and begins to connect with a flurry of lefts of rights. Katie panics, shielding her face. Tyler grabs and pulls her back up before pulling her in and connecting with a snap DDT. There is a small chorus of boos from one section of the crowd. The camera goes to showing outside at ringside as Lexi Von Aaron is shown making her way through the crowd. She leaps the barricade just as Stacy turns now noticing her.

Sharper: "What is going on here?! Money in the Bank are supposed to be gone, Lexi Von Aaron joining us!"

Winters: "Clearly she didn't get the memo. For what purpose is she out for now? With Hunter and Price-Mason gone, she is out here on her own."

Tyler turns about to climb to the top when he sees her coming out, now being addressed by Stacy. Craig turns his focus as well, giving Katie a chance to roll over before tagging Gigi in. Gigi takes advantage of the distraction before delivering a dropkick to the back of Tyler's head. He bounces off the corner before she slams him back into the mat with a roll up.

1! ...

2! ...

3!

“We Remain” begins to play again as the Stewards Katie steps into the ring before stepping toward Gigi with her hands now resting against her hips, smirking as the crowd boos. Craig turns now realizing what happened as Stacy turns looking between Lexi and The Stewards, appalled.

Winters: "And Team Desire with the victory!"

Sharper: "With a helping hand from Lexi Von Aaron! What is she doing here?! Tyler Tucker distracted and Gigi Steward capitalizing. Team Desire may be victorious here tonight but Adrenaline Rush still set for a proper team versus team contest for the Championship belts. They'll be heading into Toronto to find out the stipulation."

The Stewards slide out of the ring and begin to make their way toward the back as Lexi raises her arms up, the words "You're welcome!" coming out of her mouth as she bows to the bowing audience outside of the ring. The crowd boos as Lexi starts to move around. Stacy Kissinger just starts to storm around the ring to go to her, but Lexi backs away.

We open up backstage to see Merrick Wiseman and Vixen Cain backstage as the crowd boos. They’re standing in one of the hallways, just speaking to one another.

 

Cain: “Step one done. Ravyn doesn’t have this. Dawn doesn’t have this. Oh wait! I DO!”

 

Cain smiles and laughs as Wiseman calms him down.

 

Wiseman: “Yeah, yeah. But we put them in their place. Miller too. Rise to Greatness a good night. Now, especially with Mr. D back, we need to make sure this place doesn’t go sideways because of his boneheaded and unjust rulings.”

 

Cain: “But you can get something shiny first! TV Title.”

 

Wiseman: “Not going to worry about it. I enjoyed my time, but I need to be focused on what’s important. Justice.”

 

Cain: “So you actually did just hand in a forfeit.”

 

Wiseman: “Of course. I’m not going to set myself up to be attacked or weakened when we have bigger plans. Remember what happened to Ace.”

 

Cain: “Oh yeah. Poor guy got all tuckered out.”

 

Wiseman: “Exactly. So it’s done. I’m going to make sure D knows it and we move on and start to remind people that nothing happens on our watch.”

 

Cain: “Sounds good to me.”

 

The scene cuts away.

COMMERCIAL:

Backstage, we open up to see Syren hanging a suit bag onto one of the hooks in her locker room. The crowd cheers seeing her. We then hear a knock at the door. Syren turns back.

 

Syren: “Come in!”

 

A few moments pass as the door opens and Amy Chastaine walks into the room. The crowd cheers some more. Syren gets a bit defensive.

 

Syren: “Amy…I…”

 

Amy: “Sorry to come in like this. First off, congratulations on Rise to Greatness.”

 

Amy extends her hand. Syren then extends back and they shake.

 

Syren: “Thank you.”

 

Amy: “I just wanted to quickly say something to you. You’ve got the World Championship shot against James Evans.”

 

Syren: “Yeah. Looking forward to it.”

 

Amy: “Be careful…no, be very careful.”

 

Syren looks a bit confused.

 

Syren: “Well I know he’s dangerous in the ring. I saw what he did to Ace-“

 

Amy: “Just don’t let your guard down.”

 

Syren: “Thanks.”

 

Amy looks at Syren a bit concerned before turning and walking off as Syren watches her leave and we cut away.

Chris Cannon vs. Selena Frost

 

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "What I Believe" by Skillet brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that as the lights bounce off the ice-shard cape she wears.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Nome, Alaska, she is the winner of the 2016 Best of the Best Tournament and the 2016 Shot of Adrenaline Tournament, Selena Frost!”


Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the ring.

 

Sharper: “This match taking a different tenor than when it was first announced. Chris Cannon has called for a US Championship shot. Selena Frost, let’s remember, she suggested she may aim for that title in the Nichols and Dimes article on the website-“

 

Winters: “With my girlfriend. Some great work there!”

 

Sharper: “Well, after earlier tonight, this has some more sizzle to the steak; Kelcey Wallace will face Selena Frost at Apocalypse. Of course, Chris Cannon is Kelcey’s husband, so obviously a close eye on this one. And Kelcey has been told to remain backstage.”

 

Winters: “She can be the perfect television watcher.”

 

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

“Monarchy Presents...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

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

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, introducing at this time, hailing from Hermosa Beach, California, he is Chris Cannon!”

The crowd has a negative reaction for the British superstar. Cannon heads down to the ring. Cannon ignores the fans, walking to the ring with an arrogant smirk on his face. He looks in the ring at Selena Frost before sliding into the ring. He then climbs the nearest turnbuckle. Chris then raises his arm above his head holding a fist as the crowd continues to boo him.

 

Sharper: “Chris Cannon was impressive against AJ Helms. Also a high profile win. Now, he needs to face one of the most accomplished wrestlers in SCW this year.”

 

Winters: “And it’s a similar style, but a different experience level. Nothing close to the same there.”

 

Cannon hops down as Selena watches him from the opposite corner. The referee checks both before we hear the bell sounds. Cannon then suddenly turns around and rushes Selena. Selena ducks and Cannon stops at the corner. He turns around and Selena hits a kicks to the ribs before kicking him again and jumping up to the middle rope before jumping up and nailing Cannon in the side of the head with a hard kick to the head. Cannon stumbles out as the crowd roars. Selena watches him as Cannon then turns around towards the middle of the ring and Selena runs out and nails him with a diving clothesline. Cannon hits the mat. Selena goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Cannon with a shot. Selena floored, but Cannon goes to the floor.”

 

Winters: “Clearly those kicks to start off this match hit the mark. Cannon’s holding his jaw. Maybe he’s got a few less teeth. Probably worried that will end his marriage to Kelcey!”

 

Cannon walks around and Selena gets up and runs over and jumps up and hits a dropkick through the ropes. The crowd roars. Cannon falls into the barricade. (1) Selena rolls through the ropes and drops down to the floor. (1) Cannon turns and Selena kicks him in the ribs. (2) She then grabs him and drags him over to the ring.

(5) Cannon just smirks and backs up and rolls back into the ring. He then waves her off and gets up, walking across the ring and into the corner, leaning back. (6)

 

Sharper: “Come on. Chris Cannon rolling back into the ring. Allowing Selena to get counted out.”

 

Winters: “Hey. It’s a win. Nothing wrong with that.”

 

Sharper: “Taking the easy way out instead of fighting for it.”

 

Winters: “Or saving his body. He feels Selena is done. Doesn’t want to injure the poor girl before Kelcey beats her!”

 

Selena starts to get up. (7) She then walks over to the ring and manages to slowly roll into the ring. Cannon runs over and clubs her in the back as she gets up. He clubs her again. He then turns and whips her across the ring and into the ropes. She bounces off and Cannon runs at her and just nails her with a hard shoulder block. Selena falls back and rolls over. Cannon grabs her and drags her up and hits a vertical suplex. He floats over into a pin.

Sharper: “Oh my. What a knee. Right to the side of the head.”

 

Winters: “And that’s the thing about Cannon. He’ll just rough you up. That’s for sure. Yeah, he may not want to injure her, but he’ll make her think twice about trying things.”

 

Selena slowly stirs as Cannon grabs her, pulls her up and hits a back suplex. He turns and hooks the leg.

Cannon falls back into the corner.

 

Sharper: “Selena with a flurry. Cannon turned inside out and sent back into the corner.”

 

Winters: “And Selena looking to pick up the pace here. Still using those feet. Those kicks. Trying to make Cannon give something to Kelcey to think about.”

 

Cannon grabs at the ropes, slowly starting to get up and Selena gets up and runs into the corner and hits a running dropkick. The crowd ohs. Cannon falls back down, rolling over, holding his ribs.

He smiles as he walks out and suddenly, Selena pushes off his face and spins around before hitting a DDT. The crowd roars. Cannon rolls over. He starts to get up and slowly stirs before Selena grabs his arm, wrenches it and falls back, hitting Paydirt. Cannon falls back, holding his jaw in pain.

The crowd boos some more. Cannon rolls off and smiles. Shawn Mason turns and grabs his jaw. He rubs it and Cannon rolls to the floor.

 

Winters: “Even Mason got a shot to the jaw! But Cannon got the last laugh with that spear!”

 

Sharper: “And you can just imagine what Kelcey Wallace is going to do. Selena had to deal with needing to look over her shoulder with Kennedy, with Howell, now she has to again here with Kelcey and Cannon!”

 

Winters: “Hey! Hey! We have to also add that Chris Cannon…some extra oomph to his desire for a US Title shot!”

 

Sharper: “Well, we’ll see there. Vixen Cain is the champion and I don’t see him as a fight one.”

 

Cannon helps Shawn up and Shawn turns and raises Cannon’s arm. He continues to hold his jaw as they head to the back. Selena rolls over, holding her ribs in pain. She then smacks the canvas in anger as she stirs. Cannon continues to the back.

The scene then cuts to inside the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington where pyro ignites either side of the stage and makes its way towards the center. The crowd explodes with electricity with the cameras catching glimpses of all in attendance tonight. Various signs are on full display for their favorite superstars.  The camera continues to pan the crowd before we cut to ringside and the SCW announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Seattle as we are here live for Breakdown. Adam Sharper alongside Jonathan Knots who has joined me here for the second half and it’s been an eventful night so far.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Chad Evans is gone. Mr. D is back to pissing everyone off. Red Rayne arrested and some big matches for Apocalypse.”

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost will face Kelcey Wallace at Apocalypse. Syren will challenge James Evans for the World Title-“

 

Knots: “And she faces Ace Marshall, that asshole, later tonight!”

 

Sharper: “We also have a big Tag Team Championship match at Apocalypse. A stipulation we don’t know about any ideas?”

 

Knots just turns to Sharper.

 

Knots: “The hell do I know. Do I look psychic?!”

 

Sharper: “Trying to make conversation here!”

 

Knots: “Making me look a fool. Don’t extend your issues with yourself on me! Keep me out of that!”

Merrick Wiseman vs. Amy Chastaine

SCW Television Championship Eliminator

 

Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words:

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd. She starts down the ramp, greeting fans along the way.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a twenty minute time limit and is your Television Championship Eliminator. First, on her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is Amy Chastaine!”

Amy gets in the ring by hopping up on the apron, and stepping between the second and third ropes. She goes to the second rope in the corner near the ring steps, and poses for the fans, one arm in the air, the other on her hip, a smile for the cheering fans. Amy hops down and goes to the opposite corner, and does the same pose. Amy then hops down and awaits the start of her match as the music fades and the light stop flashing.

 

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine was hoping to be competing for the SCW World Championship, but Syren won that opportunity in the first ever triple threat Ironwoman match at Rise to Greatness. But she gets a solid consolation here.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, a shot at the Television Title and it looks like she may be getting it straight up here.”

 

Sharper: “Well we’ll see about that. We heard from Merrick Wiseman and Vixen Cain. They claimed to have bigger fish to fry. Merrick is a former Television Champion. I’m unsure what they are getting at here.”

 

Knots: “Fish to fry…maybe they’re going to go after Ravyn’s lurid past-“

 

Sharper: “Stop it.”

 

Amy Chastaine looks at the entrance way, leaning over, ready to fight. We then cut backstage, opening up in the office of Mr. D to see Merrick Wiseman standing in the doorway as Mr. D sits behind his desk. Christina is seated off to the side.

 

Wiseman: “I don’t even know why you bothered wasting her time and everyone else’s sending her out there. I’m not interested. I’m not going out there. I don’t have any reason to fight her, even to enact justice. This is just wasting time.”

 

Mr. D: “So you’re not going to go out there and compete.”

 

Wiseman: “No.”

 

Wiseman turns to leave as the crowd boos.

 

Knots: “Well that’s that.”

 

Mr. D: “Merrick!”

 

Wiseman stops and turns around. Mr. D then extends his hand. Christina just looks a bit confused. Merrick just looks at him.

 

Wiseman: “Why…what’s-“

 

Mr. D: “Just shake my hand.”

 

Wiseman reluctantly leans forward and does.

 

Mr. D: “Thank you. Christina, please contact security. Have Merrick removed from the building. He will no longer be contracted to SCW.”

 

Wiseman: “What?!”

 

The crowd cheers. Wiseman pulls away.

 

Mr. D: “You were booked to compete. You’re not off on bereavement. You’re not injured. You’re fully cleared. You’ve just chosen to not compete. This is Supreme Championship Wrestling. We are the top wrestling promotion in the world. Top competition. And there are others who would love your spot. So you can forfeit, hide backstage, leave and go compete for some other two bit promotion that needs to take cheap shots at us just so they can get twenty extra fans in the seats when their product can’t cut it, or you can go out to the ring and compete.”

 

Wiseman: “I’m not going to waste my time or yours.”

 

Mr. D: “I don’t care if you just lay down.”

 

Wiseman just scoffs. He backs up a bit. Christina is on the phone.

 

Christina: “Security is ready to come here.”

 

Wiseman: “Thanks for clarifying everything. I’ll just go and do that. And if that’s competition to you, and justice…I know Vixen and I are completely in the right for everything you are doing.”

 

Merrick Wiseman turns and walks off. He steps out of the room. He then starts to walk down the hallway. Christina hangs up the phone.

 

Christina: “I guess I don’t need those papers.”

 

Mr. D: “No, but contact the production truck. After the match, if he lies down, I’ll have something to say.”

 

Christina: “Noted.”

 

We then cut to the ring as Amy Chastaine just shakes her head. The crowd roars a bit.

 

Knots: “Wait…that doesn’t sound right. Merrick. What’s Mr. D thinking?!”

 

Sharper: “And he’s coming to the ring. Merrick may have his principles, flawed as I may think they are. The boss not impressed.”

 

Knots: “What the hell is he going to say?”

 

A few more moments pass.

 

‘Justice... Will Be Done’

 

“Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi starts to play. The crowd boos as Merrick Wiseman walks out from the back. He just shakes his head. Amy Chastaine walks along the ropes.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Sanctuary, Texas, Merrick Wiseman!”

 

Wiseman doesn’t bother with his usual showmanship, only heading to the ring. He continues to walk down to the ring before going over to the steel steps. He walks up them and then enters the ring. He walks over and goes to the official and tells him something. The official tells him to get back a bit.

 

Sharper: “Wiseman here. Just said something to the official.”

 

Knots: “Probably looking to get this done and over with.”

 

The music fades out and Amy just looks around and Merrick puts his hand up. The referee calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Wiseman then steps forward and drops down to his seat and lies down on the mat. The crowd boos as Amy shakes her head. Merrick yells out to Amy to cover her.

 

Sharper: “He’s going to do it. And this crowd clear in what they think about that.”

 

Knots: “Well come Amy. Get your free title shot.”

 

Merrick just continues to remain down. Amy just looks at him and then shakes her head before walking over and then placing her foot on the chest of Wiseman. The referee drops down to count.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers faintly as Amy Chastaine gets up and the referee goes to raise her arm. Amy pulls away.

 

Phillips: “And here is your winner, via pinfall and next challenger for the SCW Television Championship, Amy Chastaine!”

 

The crowd cheers as Amy then turns and steps through the ropes, clearly unhappy. She then drops to the floor starting to walk around the ring. Merrick starts to get up and shakes his head. As Amy walks around the ring, we then see Mr. D appear on the big screen from his office.

 

Mr. D: “Congratulations Amy Chastaine. I know you wish you had had a more competitive match to earn this opportunity and for that I apologize.”

 

Amy just nods as she continues to the back.

 

Mr. D: “Meanwhile, Merrick…I just wanted to make sure you get the hint here. To the people in the production truck, please take the image of Amy Chastaine pinning Merrick Wiseman. Thank you to Amy, for making this much easier for me to make my point without realizing it.”

 

Amy just looks around as she’s half way up the ramp.

 

Knots: “What’s he doing?”

 

Merrick just looks on from the ring, clearly unhappy. A few moments pass before we see a still of Amy Chastaine pinning Merrick Wiseman, one foot over his chest.

 

Mr. D: “I want everyone in the backstage area…every wrestler who takes pride in their craft. Every wrestler fighting for a championship shot. This is someone who just threw away a Television Championship shot. This is someone who openly stated that he wants to enter World Championship contendership. And he also represents justice, according to himself.”

 

Merrick just looks down, muttering under his breath. He then steps through the ropes and down to the floor. He starts to head to the back.

 

Mr. D: “Now…does what he just did seem fair or just to all of you? Just remember that next time you share a locker room with him or he’s doing one of his little investigations.”

 

Mr. D’s voice ends as Merrick Wiseman storms up the rampway. The crowd cheers. The image of the pin remains on the big screen.

 

Sharper: “Mr. D just threw Merrick Wiseman under a proverbial bus.”

 

Knots: “Come on! This is not right! That’s not fair! How is that objective?!”

 

Sharper: “Seems pretty objective to me. Wiseman’s the one who laid down. There are many who would’ve loved to take this spot.”

 

Knots: “Then swap him out.”

 

Sharper: “And give Merrick what he wants…he’s contracted to wrestle. That’s his job!”

 

Knots: “Well he’s not happy and he storming to the back. If Mr. D has any balls, he better be waiting for him!”

 

Wiseman continues to head to the back. The camera follows him before panning up and showing the big screen again as the crowd cheers.

We open up backstage to see Kennedy Street walking into the building. The crowd boos seeing her. She walks in with Maximillian. Dylan Howell is notably not with her. She walks over to the security checkpoint.

 

Maximillian: “Excuse me. Locker room for Kennedy Street?”

 

The guard looks at the sheet. He then looks up.

 

Guard: “General room A.”

 

Kennedy’s eyes widen.

 

Kennedy: “What?”

 

Guard: “General room A, it’s over there, turn right, you’ll see it. Big room.”

 

Kennedy: “General room? I am Kennedy Street. I don’t change with others. I get my own room.”

 

Guard: “Not according to this.”

 

Kennedy just backs up and turns to Maximillian.

 

Maximillian: “You are going to change that room. A star like this-“

 

Guard: “I don’t make the assignments. I just share them if you ask. If you have a problem, ask the boss.”

 

Maximillian: “We will.”

 

Kennedy: “Come on Maximillian.”

 

Kennedy and Maximillian storm off, with Maximillian carrying Kennedy’s bags. They head down the hallway as we cut away.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Vixen Cain getting thrown out of one of the men’s locker rooms. We see Tommy Valentine standing there with Rocky O’Reilly also seen. David Miller can be seen just laughing when the door is open, watching this unfold. The crowd cheers. The door starts to close. We then see Cain starting to get up before we see Justin Davis and Matty Stone taking out his US Championship from the locker room. Davis then throws it down in front of him. Vixen just turns and laughs. The door closes again.

 

Sharper: “Look! The male roster!”

 

Knots: “Davis! Matty…what are you doing?! That’s your US Champion!”

 

Cain grabs the US Title.

 

Cain: “Oh come on. You know you won’t have as much fun without me in there.”

 

The door then opens one more time before we see a suitcase thrown out by Donovan Kayl. Kayl looks at Cain. Clothes fall all over the floor. Cain just looks around before grabbing some of the clothing. We then see Kayl turn back as O’Reilly hands him another suitcase and he throws it out.

 

Kayl: “Find somewhere else to change for a while. Only professional wrestlers allowed here.”

 

Cain just looks up and chortles as he then stands up, holding his US Championship in his hand and looks around, shaking his head.

 

Sharper: “Cain and Wiseman were in one of the men’s locker rooms and it looks like Wiseman’s actions have made it clear they’re not welcome! They never were the most liked.”

 

Knots: “What?! Come on! This is bullying! Bullying!”

 

Sharper: “It’s not. It’s probably for the best. They’re removing them from a dangerous situation!”

 

Knots: “Come on!”

We then cut to another part of the building to see Merrick Wiseman walking through the backstage area. He’s clearly annoyed as he heads towards the office of Mr. D. He storms into the room.

 

Christina: “Excuse me-“

 

Merrick: “Oh shut it!”

 

The camera turns and moves into the room as Mr. D is standing behind his desk.

 

Merrick: “I know you’ve always had an issue with me, but thank for making it even clearer than before. You want to humiliate me. I can be your worst nightmare.”

 

Mr. D: “Merrick…I just went through that. I’m simply holding you to your contract and your pride and you elected to nearly throw out both. You can live with the consequences…you know, how you dish out justice. I dished out my own.”

 

Merrick: “Be careful what you wish for. Because you may not be letting me have Watchman back, but Cain and I will run this place and make everyone honest. Trust us on that. We just did it to Dawn, Ravyn and Miller. Maybe we’ll just switch to you.”

 

Mr. D just glares at Merrick as Merrick turns out of the room and starts to walk down the hallway before we hear the banging of metal. We see Mr. D run around the desk before going into the hallway and we see a lighting rig knocked over as Merrick is thrown into a wall and then over a foolocker. We then see Regan Street standing over him before diving onto him and nailing him with a series of hard right hands.

 

Sharper: “Regan Street! Regan going after Merrick Wiseman!”

 

Knots: “What is going on here in Seattle?! I know its Seattle so the grunge music probably made everyone dreary, but what the hell!”

 

Regan nails Merrick a few more times. Mr. D turns back into the office.

 

Mr. D: “Call security.”

 

Mr. D then turns and heads over as Regan gets up and stomps Merrick in the face.

 

Regan: “You gave her a title shot? You gave AMY a title shot. So now, I’m the only one without one. Well, Merrick. This is my justice…. MY KARMA!””

 

Regan  then stomps him a few more times before Mr. D runs over and grabs Regan. Regan turns and spins off. She turns and goes to throw a punch as Mr. D gets his hands up. Regan stops herself as officials run over and quickly step in front of Regan. Regan just looks at Mr. D and then Merrick before letting out an angry grunt.

 

Sharper: “Look out. Regan nearly took out the boss.”

 

Knots: “Good!”

 

Sharper: “Good?!”

 

Regan just backs up before snapping at Mr. D.

 

Regan: “I want his ass. I want to destroy him. Justice MY ASS!”

 

The crowd roars as we continue to see Regan getting pushed back as Merrick winces on the floor.

We return to ringside as the opening of “Joyride (Omen)" can be heard blaring through the PA system. Out from the smoke appears James Evans, with the fans showering him with jeers and the lights begin to flicker along with the beat of the music. James Evans, decked out in a sleeveless black hoodie, with the hood over his head, walking slowly. The SCW World Championship is around his waist. He just looks around the arena as the crowd boos him.

 

Sharper: “Our new World Champion. And we’ve been awaiting his arrival. Meanwhile, related, a number have been concerned about him. About what it means.”

 

Knots: “He’s on top of the world. He’s the World Champion. Sounds like a lot of people are just jealous. He finally has reached the top of the mountain.”

 

Sharper: “And a lot of people are questioning whether Ace Marshall is at one hundred percent enough. James Evans did whatever he could to win. Looks at this, these stills from Rise to Greatness, the replay playing all month long on pay per view.”

 

RISE TO GREATNESS – JULY 24, 2016

We see Ace Marshall and James Evans on the top rope with James having his back to the ring. Ace is bend over. We then cut to a still of Evans lifting Ace up for a powerbomb. We then see a still of James Evans stepping towards the floor and powerbombing Ace off the top rope, following him down and throwing him down into the padded barricade.

 

Knots: “James Evans did everything. Powerbombed him off the top rope into the barricade. There was some padding, but it did enough.”

 

Sharper: “And Ace crawled back to the ring. James Evans finished him off with the Twinge and James Evans became the new World Champion.”

 

We then see Ace Marshall down on the mats on the floor. The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

 

We then see James Evans in the middle of the ring. He looks around and smirking slightly as he is handed a microphone. He takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. The crowd boos as he looks around. His music fades out. James then looks around for a few moments longer as boos come from the crowd.

 

James: “I told you I would win the World Title.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

James: “Ace Marshall tried and tried as he might, I again told you I would do anything to get the job done. I even nearly broke him in half before choking him out to become the World Champion.”

 

The crowd boos. After a few moments a faint “Ace!” chant begins before slowly building up. James Evans just looks around and smiles.

 

James: “Keep chanting his name. He knows how close he was to having his career ended at my hands. He only had to worry about losing the World Title. Don’t worry Ace. At some point, I’ll finish the job, but right now, I get to look ahead to Apocalypse….”

 

James smirks a bit.

 

James: “Where I face the greatest female wrestler in the world today…Syren. Another match I can’t wait for because I get to take on and destroy one of the people who symbolized everything I hated while I toiled and waited for this opportunity. Don’t worry, Syren…I heard that some people warned you. Some people are concerned about me.”

 

James then has a bit of a sadistic smile.

 

James: “Just because I’ll be the hardest challenge you’ve ever had, even harder than that Ironwoman match. And maybe you’ll find out later tonight, because I will be watching your match against Ace very closely. Two people I hate their guts….facing each other. I wouldn’t miss that for the world. Plus….I always would prefer to speak with my actions!”

 

James then looks down at his waist where the SCW World Championship sits.

 

James: “Just need to look at Rise to Greatness for a good example.”

 

James brings the microphone down and drops it. The crowd boos. “Joyride (Omen)” starts to play throughout the arena. He then turns and slowly walks over to the ropes. He steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. He slowly turns and starts to walk up the rampway as the crowd boos him.

 

Sharper: “Short, sweet, simple…”

 

Knots: “And he meant every word.”

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall and Syren will face later. James said he’ll be watching that closely. I hate to think what he means by that.”

 

James Evans continues to head to the back as we cut backstage.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Dawn Lohan walking through the backstage area. The crowd cheers a bit as she continues to make her way through before turning the corner. She then stops and takes a deep breath before continuing down the hallway.

 

Dawn: “Katelyn!”

 

We see Katelyn Buehler speaking to Ravyn Taylor. Dawn just stops after a few moments.

 

Katelyn: “Thanks for listening.”

 

Ravyn turns and walks off as Katelyn turns to Dawn.

 

Dawn: “You’re talking to Ravyn?”

 

Katelyn: “Just needed her to pass something along to Syren.”

 

Dawn: “Oh…”

 

Katelyn: “You called my name?”

 

Dawn: “Oh…yeah. I was just thinking. What would be a good match for Apocalypse? Something where we both could simply focus on the match.”

 

Katelyn: “Wait, are you challenging me?”

 

Dawn: “I am Katelyn.”

 

Katelyn: “But the US Title-“

 

Dawn: “I’ll worry about that when I know I have a rematch or earn one. I however want something where I don’t need to look over my shoulder. I don’t need to be seeing where I’m going to be attacked from. I don’t need to worry if I can trust people. I just have to worry about wrestling.”

 

Katelyn: “Wow…I’m honoured you think me.”

 

Dawn: “You’re the last IWC Champion. You beat Syren at Best of the Best. You nearly beat Kelcey.”

 

Katelyn: “And you’re a former World Champion. You’ve won three different titles in the last year.”

 

Dawn: “Then let’s go out there and see what happens.”

 

Katelyn nods.

 

Katelyn: “That would be nice.”

 

Katelyn extends her arm. Dawn shakes it.

 

Dawn: “Thank you.”

 

Dawn turns and walks off as Katelyn watches her leave. The crowd cheers.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up as we see Mr. D in his office as Christina passes him some paperwork before the door opens and Maximillian steps in. Mr. D looks up as Kennedy steps in.

 

Mr. D: “Oh good.”

 

Kennedy: “Why don’t I have my own locker room? I am the Sexy, Flawless Diva. I am not going to change with all of the pathetic girls you have running around here.”

 

Mr. D: “Oh, that…that’s easy to answer.  You don’t deserve your own locker room.”

 

Kennedy’s eyes open again.

 

Kennedy: “Maximillian! Smite him!”

 

Mr. D: “I can count the matches you’ve had on one hand probably this year. You’ve been more interested in preening and trying to manipulate your way to the World Title than compete. Solo locker rooms go to the stars…the top stars. The people who have earned that position. You…you’ve done more to freefall in that way than most. So you’re going to go to the women’s locker room. You’re going to enjoy it. And Maximillian…sorry, but you’ll need to stay outside.”

 

Kennedy: “But Keenie will be attacked by everyone!”

 

Mr. D: “And if they do, I’ll then deal with that problem if that exists.”

 

Kennedy: “This is abuse! This is Sexy, Flawless Diva Abuse.”

 

Mr. D: “No…this is finally letting you know that enough is enough. You show up late and then demand your own locker room so you can sit there and do nothing. Now…you’re not changing my mind.”

 

Kennedy just glares at Mr. D as he goes back to the paperwork.

 

Kennedy: “I’m not leaving!”

 

Mr. D: “Christina.”

 

Christina grabs her phone.

 

Kennedy: “What’s she doing?”

 

Mr. D: “Calling security. They’ll even throw you out on your sexy, flawless ass.”

 

Kennedy: “You’ll hear more about this. I promise you.”

 

Mr. D: “I’m sure I will.”

 

Kennedy: “Come on Maximillian. We’re getting out of here.”

 

Kennedy leaves with Maximillian as Mr. D shakes his head and we cut away. 

Jake Starr vs. Casey Holliday

 

The arena lights slowly fade to black, and the sharp opening chords of "This Fire" by Killswitch Engage boom through the speaker system. The skull of the Social Misfits begins to flicker on the jumbotron like a strobe light, and the spotlights do the same, as one ultimately focuses its beam right on the entrance right as the first scream echoes. As the words of the first verse begin to play, Jake Starr slowly emerges from the locker room, carrying his chair in his right hand.

After looking over the torn crowd with a callous and cocky smirk on his face, he slowly unfolds the battered piece of steel and sets it down in front of himself, ultimately straddling it and leaning forward. The reaction from the crowd is more negative than it has ever been in his career, and he almost thrives on the negative energy pouring in his direction. As the crowd gets louder, trying to rattle him, and in very few cases, support him, his smile grows more and more, showing a sense of arrogance growing by the moment. He slowly leans back, extending his arms to the side, and making a motion for the crowd to give it to him the best way they can, and the crowd responds by cheering and jeering as loud as they can.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Des Moines, Iowa, he is Jake Starr!”


As the chorus ends, Jake springs up and grabs the chair. He begin walking toward the ring, and Jake folds the chair back up.

This is the broken ground
Misery begins to rise.
Turn away from yesterday,
tomorrow's in my eyes.

Nevermore to be held down
by the wings of history.
Nevermore to be cast aside,
this day is mine.

After he reaches ringside, Jake climbs the stairs. Getting on the ring apron, he ascends to the second turnbuckle, and takes in the crowd reactions to each side, smirking again. He then jumps into the ring, grabbing the chair with both hands, and slamming it hard right into the middle of the ring. He then looks camera side, placing his left foot on the bottom rope, right foot on the middle, bracing himself with his left hand, and holding the chair above his head, and mouthing the words, "THIS IS MY TIME!" Jake then bounces himself up and turns back to the ring.

Sharper: “Jake Starr defeated Greg Cherry at Rise to Greatness. The two former friends, former rivals and then again rivals, they battled. Back and forth, but Starr was just too much for Cherry.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Greg Cherry has an announcement later tonight. Starr probably is going to love it, but now, he gets to face off against the hometown girl and ruin some more dreams. I’d love that if the guy wasn’t just an asshole!”

Just then, "Diary of Jane" by Breaking Benjamin hits and the crowd roars, cheering loudly. A few moments pass before we see Casey Holliday walk out from the back. The crowd cheers some more. Casey just looks around.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Seattle, Washington…”

 

The crowd cheers some more.

 

Phillips: “….Casey Holliday!”

 

She then starts to head down to the ring. She jogs down the ramp and high-fives some of the fans on one side before going to the other side. When she reaches the end of the walkway, she takes a deep breath before she makes her way into the ring. She soaks in the spotlight, looking determined as she waits for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Casey Holliday returns home. This is the first time she’ll be competing here in Seattle under an SCW banner. A very eventful first eight months for her.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. The Trios Tournament for one. She was nearly the number one contender to the Women’s Championship but Bree finally found a spine and took her chance.”

 

Sharper: “Casey found out just that Bree’s getting tired of things, Blake Mason may playing a role there.”

The ref calls for the bell. Starr and Casey step forward, with Casey challenging Starr to lock up, but Starr keeps his distance, maintaining a smirk on his face. Casey charges at Starr but Starr rolls out of the ring, earning himself some boos. The ref begins the count (1).

Sharper: “Starr leaving the ring. Stepping out. Not engaging to start.”

Knots: “I’m not sure about that. Just throw her around. You’ve got the strength advantage.”

 

Sharper: “Maybe getting into her head. It’s a big night for her. Hometown. She’s probably giddy, excited. This makes her more anxious.”

Casey slides out of the ring and goes after Starr, who begins playing head games with Casey, pretending to roll back into the ring but he doesn’t. The ref counts 2. Casey charges at Starr who quickly rolls into the ring. Casey follows only for Starr club her in the back before rolling her over and going for a quick cover.

Casey kicks out. Starr locks Casey in a headlock, keeping her grounded. Casey tries to push herself up, but Starr uses his weight advantage against her. Casey intelligently places her foot on the bottom rope and the ref begins the count. Starr grins and begins to squeeze tighter. The ref counts 2, 3, 4 and Starr breaks the hold. He climbs to his feet and takes a few steps back, placing his hands up in surrender as the crowd boos. He then smirks and steps forward, only for Casey to nail him with a straight shot to the gut. Starr doubles over a bit and Casey fires away with a European uppercut. Starr staggers back as Casey backs into the ropes then charges at Starr, only for Starr to charge as well, taking Casey out with a running knee to the mid-section. Starr then goes for the cover.

Casey kicks out again.

Sharper: “Starr just keeping the pressure. Not holding back.”

Knots: “Experience there. Then again, I’m stunned he hasn’t just grabbed his chair. Should he be going through withdrawal?”

Starr lifts Casey up and hits a few forearm shots before taking her down with a snapmare. Starr then grabs Casey’s arms and pulls them back while driving his knee into her spine. He then looks out at the crowd while the ref checks on Casey. Starr shouts, “Walk in the Park” earning himself more jeers. Casey shakes her head no as Starr pulls back further, continuing to dig his knee in Casey’s back.

Sharper: “Casey is going to have to figure out a way to turn things around. She was able to mount a brief offensive flurry, but it has mainly been all Starr from the opening bell."

Knots: “Starr’s loving this. Casey stopped early and now he’s just getting to her and this crowd doesn’t like it. Hometown girl is getting outclassed here.”

Starr breaks the hold, drops an elbow into the collarbone of Casey before locking in another headlock. Casey begins to move from side to side, trying to break free. She manages to stand up, with Starr doing all he can to put weight on Casey. Casey hits an elbow to the ribs, followed by a second and a third. Starr breaks the hold. Casey hits a few forearms shots over her own following them up with a surprise enziguri. Starr drops to one knee and Casey plants him with a DDT. The crowd explodes upon impact.

Sharper: “And it seems Casey managed to turn things in her favor. And her hometown fans here in Seattle rising to their feet to cheer her on.”

Knots: “Part of the love for her. Part of it hate for Starr. I’m pretty sure it’s universal, the hatred for Starr!”

 

Sharper: “Maybe Wiseman and Cain too after what happened earlier.”

 

Knots: “Hey! Starr has a run for his money!”

Casey hooks the leg and the ref begins the count.

Starr shoots the shoulder up, shoving Casey away. Casey gets to her feet as Starr does as well. Starr turns only for Casey to hit a dropkick to Starr’s knees. Starr hits the mat, but quickly pops back up. Casey hits a crossbody, going for another quick pin.

Starr drops out of the corner while Casey takes to the top rope. She watches as Starr slowly gets to his feet. Starr turns and Casey goes for and hits a corkscrew neckbreaker before hooking the leg.

Starr kicks out once again.

Sharper: “Big neckbreaker. A nearfall. Starr however kicks out.”

Casey stalks Starr as he gets to his feet. Starr turns as Casey goes for a spear but Starr gets his knee up, stopping Casey’s momentum. Starr then whips Casey into the turnbuckle, shoulder first. Casey backs out of the corner and Starr rolls her up from behind as the ref makes the count. He pulls on the tights.

Knots: “Hey! How about some cheating!”

1!

Casey kicks out as the crowd cheers loudly. Starr looks at the referee, glaring at him.

 

Sharper: “Casey however kicking out. The atmosphere here in the Key Arena, willing Casey on!”

 

Starr gets up as he turns and grabs Casey and pulls her up. He then places her head between her legs. He smiles and goes for the flip piledriver, but Casey counters with a back drop. The crowd cheers. Starr starts to get up. Casey hits a back kick, knocking him back. Starr bounces off the ropes and Casey grabs him and hits the single knee facebuster. Starr falls back and to the ropes. Casey gets up and looks over. The crowd cheers her. Casey then runs into the far ropes. She bounces off and goes to jump up onto the back of Starr. Starr moves out of the way and Casey hits the mats and falls back. Starr crawls away and turns to the official. He turns and coughs a bit. The referee checks on him as Casey grabs at the ropes and starts to get up. Just then, we see TJ Johnson running down from the back with something in his hand. He jumps up and we see it’s a kendo stick. TJ nails Casey hard in the back. The crowd ohs. Casey falls forward and Jake moves past the official. TJ backs up and Starr grabs Casey and spikes her with the flip piledriver. The crowd boos. Starr goes for the pin.

 

Sharper: “TJ Johnson! With a kendo stick! Come on! What the hell?!”

 

Knots: “And Starr spikes Holliday with the piledriver!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

Sharper: “Damn it!”

 

The crowd boos loudly.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Jake Starr.”

 

Starr gets up and then quickly rolls out of the ring. We then see TJ Johnson roll into the ring as Gigi Steward runs out from the back as does Katie Steward. The crowd boos some more. Starr backs away and laughs. Casey rolls over, grabs at the ropes and TJ nails her in the back with a kendo stick in the back. Casey falls over. Gigi slides in and heads over and crawls over and nails Casey with a couple of shots. Katie hops onto the apron and slowly enters the ring. The crowd boos loudly.

 

Sharper: “And now Katie Steward! Gigi Steward! TJ in the ring!”

 

Knots: “Holliday got involved at Rise to Greatness! Katie is crashing her homecoming!”

 

Sharper: “And she had Starr on his back foot. They were having a competitive match at TJ turned the tide.”

 

Gigi rolls off as the bell sounds again. Casey rolls over and Katie walks over to her.

 

Katie: “You ruin my division! I ruin your return home! Don’t mess with the Goddess!”

 

TJ smiles and laughs. Gigi then grabs Casey. Casey gets up and throws a punch. The crowd roars as she catches Katie. Casey then tries to grab at Katie and Gigi elbows her in the back. Casey winces and Katie walks over and kicks her in the ribs, double underhooks her and drops her with the Save the Queen. The crowd boos. Katie gets up and we see a couple of cups fly into the ring. Katie just looks at her and TJ walks over and raises her arm. The crowd boos some more.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward ruining Casey Holliday’s return home! And standing over her.”

 

Knots: “Be careful who you piss off Casey. It’s a lesson you’ve not figured out.”

 

Sharper: “And after all of the talk of standing up to Katie and her Horsewomen…Casey is standing alone!”

 

The crowd continues to boo as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up at the SCW interview area to see Jessica Winters standing in front of the SCW logo.

 

Jessica: “Please welcome at this time, the SCW Television Champion, Shilo Valiant!”

 

The crowd boos as Shilo Valiant comes into view, smiling, the SCW Television Championship sits over his shoulder.

 

Jessica: “Shilo, earlier tonight, we saw a very interesting Television Championship Eliminator when Merrick Wiseman laid down for Amy Chastaine. Amy Chastaine is now your next challenger.”

 

Shilo: “And I have the perfect gift to congratulate her on her shot. A new chair!”

 

Shilo smirks. The crowd boos.

 

Shilo: “You remember those days Amy. Oh well, we’ll have to see what happens as things are a bit different. Title shot now on the line. The title that I helped give a great debut at Rise to Greatness. Konrad Raab should thank me. Never has he looked better. Too bad he couldn’t come through. But if that’s the effort Amy had to expend against the Law and Order of SCW, I hope she realizes she’ll need to try a bit harder. I’m in fact a bit disappointed. I had a bucket of popcorn. I was going to sit back, enjoy, but by the time I had the popcorn popped, it was over. For shame….don’t worry, I’ll toy with you enough Amy to make it worthwhile for everyone in SCW. That’s right. Don’t worry. Shilo has you covered. Just like he’ll cover Amy and retain the SCW Television Title. So Regan…don’t bother taking a swing at me.”

 

Shilo winks.

 

Shilo: “I’ll fix this mess.”

 

Shilo smiles as he walks off. The crowd boos.

 

Jessica: “The SCW Television Champion. Adam…”

Konrad Raab vs. Justin Davis

 

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands and high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.

Phillips: “This contest is scheduled for one fall with a ten minute time limit. Introducing first, from Cologne, Germany, “The Iceman”.... Konrad Raab.”


Sharper: “Konrad Raab, a man who faced Shilo Valiant for the SCW Television Championship. He may have come up short but no one can deny the fact that Konrad pushed the champion and nearly walked away with the title around his waist.”

Knots: “Yeah, but now he’s talked about how he was humiliated by Shilo and what he did. He just gave him some pep in his step.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. Given that Shilo Valiant paid for a scene out of a bad Oktoberfest celebration to be his entrance.”

 

Knots: “Just celebrating his culture!”

The arena goes dark and a mist of smoke begins to gather at the top of the ramp as the opening rift of ''Miseria Cantare" begins to play throughout the arena. The lights start to flicker as a spotlight shines on top of the ramp. Justin Davis stands at the top of the ramp with his head lowered and a hood covering his head.

"Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame... Incinerate"

Davis lifts his head as he takes his hood off and the words "JUSTIN DAVIS" shows on the big screen. The crowd begins to fill the arena with roaring cheers. You can see a smile on Davis' face while nodding his head as he begins to make his way down the ramp.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Justin Davis!”

Davis lifts his arms up in the air as he makes his way up the steel steps and into the ring. Once in the ring Davis circles the ring and then chooses a random turnbuckle to climb and pose for the fans by lifting his right arm and pointing up to the ceiling then to the crowd. He then drops down and sits in the corner awaiting for the match to begin, his eyes locked on Konrad.

Sharper: “Davis meanwhile fell short to Angelica Jones. Failed to win that battle of Boston he asked for and the Adrenaline Championship shot added to it.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and so now he’s going to be pissed off. Two people looking to bounce back. Too bad that can only happen to one.”

The ref points to both men as Davis stands to his feet. Konrad steps out of the corner and the referee calls for the bell. Both men begin to circle one another, before locking up in a test of strength. Davis seems to be gaining the advantage only for Konrad to power back, pressing Davis down to the mat, which Konrad uses as a way to go for a pin.

Davis kicks out quickly. Konrad backs away as Davis gets back to his feet. Both men lunge at one another, locking up once more.

Davis kicks out.

Sharper: “It seems both competitors are trying to gain the advantage, but keeping the upper hand hasn’t seemed to be working for either. Every time Davis gets some momentum going, Konrad is able to turn the tide and vice versa.”

Knots: “That’s why you grab some hair. Rake the eyes. Low blow when the referee is chatting up the blonde in the front row. Get the advantage however you can. I’m sick of this talk of everything on the up and up. Especially from Raab!”

Konrad picks Davis up, but Davis fires away with a few more forearm shots to the face. He then hooks Konrad and takes him down with a sit-out spinebuster. Davis then begins to hammer away at the head and face of Konrad. Davis then picks Konrad up and before quickly dropping him with a DDT. Davis stomps on the legs of Konrad before going for what appears to be a single Boston Crab, only for Konrad to fire a kick into the face of Davis. Davis staggers back as Konrad gets to his feet. Konrad charges at Davis, only for Davis to respond with another spinebuster, this time hooking the leg.

Konrad kicks out again.

Sharper: “Davis building some momentum here, but he can’t seem to keep the Iceman down. I am sure Davis is wondering what he has to do to the put his opponent away.”

Knots: “I just offered some examples. Hell, drop him on his head on the floor. Look at James Evans. He came up with a hell of a plan. Davis should follow his lead.”

 

Sharper: “Don’t start there. We don’t need people trying to injure!”

Davis lifts Konrad up but Konrad hits a European uppercut. He then whips Davis into the ropes. Davis goes for a flying clothesline but Konrad dunks. Davis hits the mat but quickly gets to his feet only to turn and walk into a spinebuster. Konrad lifts Davis up once more before driving his knee into Davis’s abdomen.

Sharper: “Davis with that Bicycle Kick he calls You’re Dead. Things may appear that way for one Konrad Raab.”

 

Knots: “He is out! Raab is out and he’s got steins of beer circling his head!”

Konrad shakes the cobwebs as he gets to his feet, not knowing Davis is waiting for him. Konrad turns and Davis kicks him in the mid-section, hooks him and goes for the Lip Sealer, only for Konrad to float over, landing on his feet. Davis turns around, only for Konrad to plant him with the Frozen Pin. The crowd roars.

3!

 

The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Konrad Raab!”

 

Sharper: “It didn’t work at Rise to Greatness! It worked tonight! Davis planted by that German suplex and Raab got the win!”

 

Knots: “See! Shilo got him going and he’s got the power of entertainment on his side!”

 

Sharper: “Uh-huh. It’s a hard fought win and a hell of a step in the right direction here after Rise to Greatness. He felt humiliated by Shilo, but tonight, he’s victorious!”

 

Raab sits up and starts to get up. He has his arm raised as Davis turns, holding his head and neck. Raab looks around as the crowd cheers him. He applauds them back as he walks around the ring. He steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. We then cut backstage.

We open up backstage to see Spirit Dansby in front of the SCW interview area.

 

Spirit: “Please welcome at this time, the new SCW Women’s Champion, Sienna Swann!”

 

The crowd cheers as Sienna comes into view, the SCW Women’s Championship over her shoulder. She turns to Spirit and hugs her friend.

 

Spirit: “First off, congratulations.”

 

Sienna: “Thank you!”

 

Spirit: “You defeated Katie Steward to win the title. A bit of help from Casey Holliday who evicted the Horsewomen from ringside and now, you’ll be facing Bree Lancaster at Apocalypse, in your first title defense.”

 

Sienna: “Well, Katie fought hard, but again, she wanted to use her friends to get ahead. She wanted to use the shortcuts. She wanted to keep that title by any means necessary and for that, I thank Casey Holliday for coming out to the ring. But Katie, if you want a rematch, I won’t run, but at the same time, I hope you get it through your skull that you need to get it done straight up, as anything else…it just makes you look hardly like a Goddess.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Sienna: “Now, Bree, her and I have some history. She gets another shot. Well, I hope that she’s going to make this more than just comments about my dress or even how I know how good I look. I’m proud of my body. Not my fault she’s upset by that. But as she knows, in that ring, I am capable of beating anyone. I just got through Katie and Bree, you came close one time, but I made sure, and in fact, you know it, I had you down when I planted you with the Kiss of an Angel at Taking Hold of the Flame. At Apocalypse, Katie won’t be there to steal the pin. I’m going to take the win and retain my title, myself.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Spirit: “Thank you Sienna and good luck at Apocalypse.”

 

Sienna smiles and nods.

We then open up to see Greg Cherry walking backstage through the hallway, wearing a suit. “Immortals” plays in the background.

 

Sharper: “Thank you Spirit for those words from Sienna Swann. And in a few moments, we’ll hear from the SCW Hall of Famer, Greg Cherry. He has an announcement and it’s next here on Breakdown!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“Breaking the Silence” by Breaking Benjamin blares over the PA system as the crowd rises to their feet. Greg Cherry walks through the curtain in a suit, looking out at the crowd on both sides and smiles. He slowly walks down to the ring and slaps the hands of the fans along the sides of the ramp. He climbs the stairs and gets into the ring and doesn’t do his traditional poses for the crowd but extends his arms as he looks out to the audience.

Sharper: “Greg Cherry coming out to the ring now and unfortunately for him, Jake Starr got the better of him yet again at Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “Yeah and now he’s out here in a suit.”

Sharper: “There have been rumors flying around as to what Greg Cherry could possibly be doing here tonight, but he’s got the microphone so let’s all find out.”

The music dies down as the crowd begins to chant “Cherry!” at Greg who just looks out at the audience and smiles again before lifting the microphone up to his lips.

Cherry: “You know, I asked for this time here tonight, because I wanted to address something very personal to me and I felt that I owed it to everyone here to explain exactly what that was.”

The crowd begins to buzz not knowing what Greg is talking about.

Cherry: “You see, at Rise to Greatness, as I’m sure you all know, I lost to Jake Starr.”

The crowd boos after hearing Starr’s name.

Cherry: “Yeah, I know, it sucked for me too and it disappointed me for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that I never really got to beat him for a second time, but it’s more disappointing to me because of what I’m about to say.”

 

Greg pauses for a moment.

Cherry: “A lot of people don’t know this and quite honestly, I don’t know if a lot of people will care because it’s become very apparent that I’m not the Greg Cherry that I used to be. I’m not the dominant figure of 2007 and I’m not the World Champion that I came back to be in 2010 and 2011. Believe me that I’ve tried like hell to make it to that level again, because that’s all I ever wanted to be for all of you was someone that you could believe in and I hope that a short pudgy Pennsylvanian could be that for you.”

The crowd cheers at that statement.

Cherry: “That being said, I’m very proud of everything that I’ve accomplished in my 12-year career here. I’ve been the World Champion, United States Champion, Tag Champion, Adrenaline Champion, the old Underground Champion, I’ve won Taking Hold of the Flame in my hometown and I became an SCW Hall of Fame inductee in 2013.”

The crowd cheers again.

Cherry: “And…wow, this is something I never thought I’d be doing. I don’t know how many people know this, because I just talked to Ashley a couple weeks ago and we talked about how I’ve done everything in my career that I possibly could. She made some good points, you know, I’ve put my body through hell and I’ve accomplished more than a lot of people could ever dream of and I’m not even 30 years old yet. But all of that said, I came to an important realization that with all of the agony that I’ve put my body through and all of the accomplishments that I have achieved in my career…that there isn’t anything else that I need to do.”

The crowd starts buzzing again, wondering what Greg means by this.

Cherry: “That’s why tonight in front of all of the fans here and around the world and everyone back there in that locker room, I have come to this ring tonight to officially announce my retirement from SCW.”

A few boos smatter throughout the arena as Greg drops his head after making that statement.

Cherry: “I just want to say that I’m not injured and there’s nothing really preventing me from ever stepping back into the ring again, but I felt that I had to make this decision…”

The crowd starts chanting “Please don’t go!” towards Cherry as he wipes away a tear from his eye.

Cherry: “Trust me, it wasn’t an easy decision. But I had to make the best decision I had for me and now, I get to go to a job that I haven’t been able to do full-time since being on the road, and that’s being a full-time father to my kids and a full-time husband to Ashley.”

The crowd cheers Greg again.

Cherry: “I’d like to thank everyone that has helped me through my career whether I was facing off with them or we were fighting on the same side. Of course, my best friend and former Tag Team Champion Jack Campbell for one, my wife and former two-time Women’s Champion Ashley for another and all of the guys back there and everyone who made me better in my career, Jay Gold, Xander Valentine, CHBK, Jason Zero, Jake Starr, David Helms, Chris Lawler…Shawn Winters and of course the boss, Mr. D and his daughter Sasha as well. Most of all, I have to thank the most important part of my journey through this place and that’s all of you, the SCW fans.”

The crowd cheers at this mention as Greg points out to the audience.

Cherry: “Without you, I never would have become who I am today. So I want to thank all of you whether you loved me or you hated me, every single person in the audience and every single SCW fan watching at home around the world, you are why I kept going for 12 years inside and outside this ring to give you the show that you came here to see!”

The crowd cheers again.

Cherry: “So from the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you for the wildest ride that I never wanted to get off. Don’t you worry though, because you’ve got an entire locker room back there with more than just the ability to take things to the next level, but they will skyrocket SCW to new heights that have never been reached before. I may no longer be an in-ring performer for SCW, but I will promise you one thing. You have NOT seen the last of the Pennsylvanian Sensation.”

The crowd cheers as a smile comes over Greg’s face.

Cherry: “And if you don’t like what I say…then your life is the pits!”

The crowd shouts “Deal with it!” as Greg raises the microphone in the air. He smiles as his music plays and instead of dropping the microphone, he lays it in the center of the ring and climbs the turnbuckles and poses for the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Greg Cherry calling it a career here in Seattle.”

 

Knots: “Wow…I’ll admit it. I figured the guy would try to compete forever. Big man admitting what he did.”

 

Sharper: “And you wonder what will be next for the Pennsylvanian Sensation.”

 

Greg Cherry continues to stand in the ring, enjoying the reaction. He waves a bit as he walks around the ring. After several moments, we then cut away.

We open up backstage to see Syren now in her wrestling gear. We see Ravyn Taylor with her.

 

Ravyn: “Just passing along what I’m hearing from Katelyn. Just-“

 

Syren: “I’ll be fine. I just dealt with psycho-bitch extraordinaire in Regan. I’ve dealt with people like Rachel Tatum Lee, like Blood Grove, this…it’ll be fine.”

 

Ravyn: “Well, Ace is apparently asking you for a drink after…wants to talk to you about it too.”

 

Syren: “It’s fine. And you, you should be getting revenge after what Wiseman and Cain did-“

 

Ravyn: “It can wait. I have heard some fantastical assertions from enough individuals to be concerned.”

 

Syren turns and walks over to her and kisses her.

 

Syren: “I’ll be fine. Now I have to go and face Ace.”

 

Ravyn: “Good luck.”

 

Syren smiles and walks off.

 

Sharper: “Syren faces Ace Marshall in our main event, here on Breakdown, next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Syren vs. Ace Marshall

 

We return to ringside with “Joyride (Omen)” playing in the background. We see James Evans seated next to the announce table, wearing a headset as Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots sit next to him.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to ringside. The SCW World Champion has joined us here at the announce table.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, James Evans is here. Said he’d be watching our main event closely. What’s up?”

 

James Evans just continues to look at the ring. Jonathan Knots turns to him.

 

Knots: “James?”

 

James just glances at Jonathan Knots before turning to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Alright then.”

 

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

ADRENALIZE ME

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening! Making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Wild Card, Aaace Maaaarshall!!”

The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before slingshotting over it, landing inside the ring on her feet before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring just as Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab before turning and looking at James Evans. He turns to Cassidy and moves her away from one corner and away from James.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall noticing James Evans out here. Even moving Cassidy Carter away from him.”

 

Knots: “Better be focused on Syren. This match is huge. A chance to make people realize he could get a rematch, that’s if his head isn’t up his own ass.”

 

The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. In the darkness we hear the thumping of a heart beating twice. With each beat we see a pink heart on the screens, and pink lights on the stage flashing in unison. After a few more seconds of darkness we hear the heart beating twice more, accompanied by the same lights. A few more seconds of darkness are followed by two more flashes of light, this time in a silhouette against the lights we see the figure of a woman standing. Two more heart beats once again show the silhouette of the woman. The crowd roars and “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. The lights come back up as the crowd roars to find Syren standing in the middle of the stage.

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


She turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words ‘JUST BE JEALOUS’ accompanied by her heart-logo. She spins back around before pointing toward the ring and starting to head down toward it, slapping hands on her way down to ringside.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, the number one contender to the SCW World Championship, Syren!”

 

Once at ringside she jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the cheering fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little to another cheer from the fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring, climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air. After a few seconds of posing she blows a kiss out to the crowd and jumps down, walking across the ring to the other side where again she stands on the middle turnbuckle, waving at the fans and blowing another kiss out to the crowd. After several more seconds she leaps down, removing her ring jacket and putting it in the corner before jumping up and sitting on the top turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “Syren has wanted her rematch since losing the title to Rachel Foxx at Supreme Saturday in April. She’ll get it in two and a half weeks at Apocalypse against James Evans who sits a few feet from us.”

 

Knots: “Went through Regan Street and Amy Chastaine in thirty minutes to do it. Hate to say it, but she should get the shot, but-“

 

We cut to see James Evans glancing over at Knots again.

 

Knots: “What?!”

 

Sharper: “We’ll see what happens. Huge test for both. Ace Marshall, the former World Champion, against Syren, the number one contender to James Evans’ World Championship.”

 

The bell sounds. The crowd roars. Syren hops down. Ace starts to walk out. Syren watches him as the two circle the ring. They then move to one another and go for a collar and elbow tie-up, but Syren quickly grabs the arm and turns and tries to wrench. Ace blocks it and spins her around and forearms her. She falls to the ropes. Ace kicks her in the ribs. He then fires her into the ropes. Syren bounces off. Ace goes for the clothesline, but Syren ducks underneath. Ace stops and turns around and Syren wrenches the arm. Ace winces. He then goes to turn, but Syren elbows him in the shoulder. Ace winces again. Syren jerks on the arm. She then turns and moves into a hammerlock. Ace then hits a back elbow. He runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Syren jumps up and catches Ace with the jumping calf kick. Ace hits the mat. Syren goes for the pin.

Ace kicks out. Both get up and Ace hooks Syren up and takes her over with a three-quarter nelson takedown into a pin.

Syren kicks out. Both get up and Syren hits a dropkick. Ace hits the mat and rolls over to the corner.

She kicks him in the ribs and then again. Ace shoves her back. Syren stops herself and runs back, but Ace hits a back elbow. He runs out and hits a knee to the ribs. Syren just falls hard to the mat.

Sharper: “Ace just launching Syren. Powerfully sending her in the air and a hard landing on the mat.”

 

Knots: “Ace is also doing a lot of simple stuff. That back may still be screwed from Rise to Greatness. Syren’s a hell of a lot lighter than James here.”

 

Knots turns to James who doesn’t even look back, nor respond.

 

Knots: “Not saying you’re fat though.”

 

Syren starts to get up and Ace clubs her in the back. He spins her around and chops her. The crowd woos. He chops her again. More woos. He fires her across. Syren bounces off and Ace buries a knee. She flips over and Ace goes for the pin.

Syren kicks out. She stirs and sits up and Ace drives his knee into her back. She winces and rolls over. Ace walks around the ring. Syren slowly gets up and Ace bounces off the ropes and goes for a running clothesline to take Syren up and over, but Syren drops down and pulls on the top rope and Ace goes up and over the top rope to the floor. He rolls over in pain. Syren gets up and turns, looking at him. (1) Ace gets up and Syren springboards to the top rope and then hits a flipping seated senton to the body of Ace. The crowd ohs. (1)

 

Sharper: “Syren going to the top! A flip dive onto Ace Marshall. Marshall crashing to the mat.”

 

Knots: “May have hit his head. That could be it. May be out for the second match in a row!”

 

Syren rolls over. (2) She starts to get up. Ace slowly rolls over. (3) Syren grabs her and turns and drags him to the ring and rolls him back in. She then climbs up onto the apron. Ace slowly rolls over into the ring and Ace grabs the top rope and slingshots herself in, hitting a flipping leg drop to the face of Ace Marshall. The crowd ohs. She goes for the pin.

Ace gets his shoulder up. Syren rolls off. Ace slowly rolls over and starts to get up. James Evans is shown looking on, leaning forward, his elbows on his knees as he watches.

Syren then watches him and runs over to the corner, jumps to the middle rope and dives back for a dropkick. Ace ducks and turns and slingshots back into the ring and hits a knee drop to the back of Syren’s head. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Ace taking a bit of a chance. A slingshot knee drop. A bit more agile than I expected from him.”

 

Knots: “Dimmed Syren some more too. She may be dazed if not half out of it. Went for the head, not the hair, so the bleach didn’t even help her.”

 

Ace turns and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Ace starting to show some pain.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. That back bothering him…”

 

Sharper: “James Evans watching and I think a see a smile forming on your face. Any comment here, James?”

 

We see James Evans just looking on with that smile.

 

Sharper: “James?...Well alright.”

 

We cut back to the ring as Ace Marshall whips Syren into the corner. She hits hard and walks out. Ace then runs over and nails her with a clothesline. She starts to get up and Ace grabs her and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Ace lowers his head just a moment too soon. Syren jumps up and hits a leg drop DDT. The crowd ohs.

Ace shoots his shoulder up.

 

Sharper: “And another nearfall. Syren putting the pressure on Ace here and this crowd, back and forth.”

 

Knots: “Both having their moments, but Ace with his back. Syren with the punishment. She’s had fatigue issues in the past. Hard fought one here.”

Ace gets up and Syren runs at him, but Ace scoops her up and hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, but rolls over, holding his lower back in pain. Syren rolls over, kicking the mat.

 

Sharper: “Big backbreaker and Syren’s back may be jarred from that one.”

 

Knots: “Both now with lower back issues. SCW’s chiropractor better be ready to make some money after this one.”

 

Sharper: “Syren down. Ace Marshall down. Here we are in Seattle, Washington for Breakdown. Two and a half weeks away from Apocalypse where James Evans, the man to our right, will defend his newly won SCW World Championship against Syren!”

Ace starts to get up, turning to Syren as we hear the sound of a headset coming off and being thrown down.

 

Sharper: “Blondeton Bomb missed! Ace getting up.”

 

Knots: “Wait! James! Where are you going?!”

 

Sharper: “James Evans leaving the announce table! He’s going for the ring!”

 

Knots: “He’s going to do some of those actions he mentioned earlier!”

 

Sharper: “He’s entering the ring!”

 

Ace gets up and Cassidy warns him, but James slides in behind him and grabs him from behind and runs him across the ring, throwing him out of the ring and to the floor. Ace lands hard on the floor and rolls over. The bell sounds, ending the match. Syren slowly gets up and James turns and drills her with a vicious clothesline, causing her to turn inside out. The crowd ohs. She rolls over and James grabs her by the hair. She pulls her up.

 

Sharper: “James Evans throwing Ace out of the ring. Ace wins this by disqualification, but the story for this one is James Evans is manhandling Syren, the number one contender.”

 

Knots: “Looks like he’s going to show Syren this is going to be different from any other title hunt she’s had!”

 

James then turns and runs her over to the corner and drives her face first into the corner. Syren turns. James then lifts her up and turns and throws her hard into the corner. Syren winces. James then hooks her up and lifts her up, placing her on the top turnbuckle. The crowd starts to roar before many boo.

 

Sharper: “No! No! You know what he’s going to do.”

 

Knots: “I looks like Syren may be finding out how a barricade feels!”

 

Sharper: “No! We need to get someone out here to stop him!”

 

James Evans then clubs her in the back and then again as he climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. He grabs Syren as Cassidy looks around and Ace grabs at the ropes. He rolls into the ring, in pain. He starts to get up as we see Ravyn Taylor running down from the back too. Ace runs over and as James goes to lift Syren up, Cassidy also enters the ring. Ace runs over and grabs James and pulls him off. Syren holds onto the ropes and James is thrown back. Ravyn slides into the ring. Cassidy gets up and James quickly rolls out of the ring. He then smirks as Syren falls over and down back into the ring. Ravyn heads over to Syren as James looks up and smirks. Ace turns to him and winces a bit. Cassidy looks at him too. Syren rolls over and looks up.

 

Sharper: “Ace making the save. Ravyn Taylor, Syren’s wife, also coming down. Cassidy Carter even getting into the ring.”

 

Knots: “James was that close too. And just think if he gets to do that at Apocalypse. He won the title that way. To beat Syren, do it again. He’d get it done.”

 

Sharper: “I can’t believe he’d be that sadistic! Thank God for Ace, for Ravyn, for Cassidy! James Evans is dangerous.”

 

Knots: “And he’s who Syren is going to have to go through to win the World Title. Good luck!”

 

James Evans grabs his World Championship from the announce table and heads around the ring. He looks in the ring and smirks as Ace Marshall watches him. Ravyn and Syren look at him as James Evans throws the title over his shoulder and then starts to walk to the back. The crowd boos as the scene fades to black…
