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

 

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

 

 

 

MAIN SHOW:



“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 Giovanni Aries hitting Selena Frost and Ravyn Taylor with the Down the Rabbit Hole and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on an opponent before showing Syren nailing Josh Hudson with a steel chair.
 
"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 Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber. We cut to a shot of Konrad Raab doing some shadowboxing in the ring before showing Ikiro Yoshida, Derek Adonis and Manvel in the ring with the KABLAMA Sutra. We follow up with a shot of Gable Winchester walking away from Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson.
 
"I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)"

 

A shot of Christy Matthews posing in the crowd follows. Sam Raine kicking an opponent is shown before showing Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity. We then see Ace Marshall nailing someone with the One Eyed Royal.
 
"I'll try to picture me without you but I can't"

 

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne running and attacking Regan Street in the ring.
 
"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 Ravyn Taylor looking down at herself, while posing in the corner before showing Har Megiddo in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and Kennedy Street hitting Syren with the Touch of Class is shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping an opponent with the CATastrophe before showing Bree Lancaster nailing Marie Jones with the Classifier, followed by a shot of Blake Mason hitting the Blake Mason Experience on Thirteen before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen. 

The scene then cuts to show the inside of Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada as we see the lights turned out as spotlights circle the arena. We then cut to a shot of fans walking through the concourse in the building and then shots of some fans purchasing merchandise at one of the many stands.

 

Spirit: “We have a new World Champion after last week’s Breakdown and tonight, SCW continues to hurdle toward Apocalypse in Las Vegas!”

 

A few moments pass before we cut to a shot of the inside of the SCW Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to see the camera pan down and we see Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk.

 

Spirit: “Hello everyone. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters in the SCW Studios in Toronto. We’ll be to Las Vegas in just a moment, but when we went off the air last week, we saw a historic moment. Sienna Swann is now the World Champion!”

 

Winters: “Well, have your moment? I know she’s a friend.”

 

Spirit: “And I’m happy for her. She took a risk. Demanding her title shot last week instead of at Apocalypse and she got it done.”

 

Winters: “Now the question is what is next for her? I’m sure she’ll tell the world of her greatness, but what awaits her at Apocalypse. Will Kennedy Street get a rematch? Remember what Syren said last week…”

 

Spirit: “Those are just some of the hard decisions Mr. D will have to make. Another one revolves around Giovanni Aries who attacked him and the Board of Directors. But he’s not been fired or suspended. He’s in action tonight and we’re not exactly sure why!”

 

Winters: “He’ll be in action. Selena Frost too against Alistaire Allocco. Giovanni Aries faces Josh Hudson and that’s not all.”

 

Spirit: “Kennedy Street could show the hangover from Rise to Greatness is real. She’ll face Bree Lancaster tonight!”

 

Winters: “Huge night, including CHBK in action tonight against Justin Davis. Our card tonight is an impressive one. Las Vegas and all of you in home are in for a treat, but what about all of the uncertainty. A lot of people wondering who will challenge Bree or Sienna. What about the Truelove Twins and the Tag Titles?’

 

Spirit: “Christy Matthews is here tonight and she’ll have something to say to Andrew Raynes. This is not a night you want to miss and well…”

 

As Spirit is talking, we see a shot of Sienna Swann walking out from the back, with the Truelove Twins and Laura Steinbeck, on the screen behind her.

 

Spirit: “Looks like the World Champion is arriving. With the Beauty Factory part of Past, Present, Future.”

 

Winters: “Future is now it seems.”

 

Spirit: “Let’s go to Las Vegas where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are standing by!”

We cut to the inside of the Thomas and Mack Center as “Style” by Taylor Swift plays and Sienna Swann smiles as she proudly holds the SCW World Championship around her waist. Laura Steinbeck and the Truelove Twins walk with her.

 

Sharper: “Welcome to Las Vegas. I’m Adam Sharper. Jonathan Knots is with me and our new World Champion is on her way to the ring.”

 

Knots: “I’m still stunned. She finally is holding the titles she’s been gunning for since she showed up in SCW.”

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street and Sienna Swann fighting last week in a hard-fought match, but one where two knees, two Kisses of an Angel were the story. Kennedy Street defeated and Sienna Swann shocked us by winning the title.”

 

Sienna Swann goes to the corner as Laura Steinbeck steps up the stairs. London hops onto the apron and holds the ropes open for Laura and she enters. London enters before Paris hops up and Sienna walks along the apron and enters with Paris holding the ropes open for her. Paris follows up by entering last and the four stand in the ring as the crowd boos some. The golden hue of the lights comes over the arena before Laura demands a microphone. She is handed one and she turns and walks to the middle of the ring. The music starts to fade out. Laura looks around as the crowd boos.

 

Laura: “This is a moment of great historical importance. Last week, as should have been the case MONTHS ago, the IronAngel, the Real Perfect Ten…and now your IronCHAMPION, took her rightful place as the Supreme Championship Wrestling World Champion.”

 

The crowd boos as Sienna smile sand poses a bit.

 

Laura: “And now she will speak her first words since that moment.”

 

Laura extends the microphone to Sienna. Sienna takes it as the crowd boos some more. She smirks as she looks around.

 

Sienna: “The moment that I was handed the SCW World Championship was something I have been waiting for since the moment I walked into SCW and it was only a matter of time until I would hold that title. I had been waiting for my chance for years! And Kennedy, thank you. Thank you finally ending this need to wait until Apocalypse when I would have just beaten you then. Thank you for just ripping the bandaid off and allowing me to take the spot that I deserved! You were a fine champion and a fighting champion and that’s all well and good, but you’re a past champion now and I do one thing these days and that’s Erase the Past.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Sienna: “And you are that. Sorry Kennedy, but that’s just how this goes. Someone newer and better comes along and you have to look at yourself in the mirror and accept that. Something that this year, I’ve proven to never need to accept again. I’ve been acting like a champion all year long and now I have the title that was always mine to begin with and now it will be all over magazine covers, fashion shows and whatever else Laura and I feel like showcasing it. I am your definitive champion, just as I proved that I can outlast anyone. I proved I am just a cut above ANYONE.”

 

Sienna smiles. The crowd boos some more.

 

Sharper: “Arrogant as expected.”

 

Knots: “Yeah….”

 

Sharper: “Not going to just sing her praises.”

 

Knots: “She was better last week. I don’t think she can beat Kennedy twice in a row though!”

 

Sienna: “But it’s only the beginning…”

 

Sienna then hands the microphone back to Laura as Laura steps forward.

 

Laura: “See last week, we saw the deserving Sienna Swann finally take her spot at the top. Now it is time for the Truelove Twins to do the same in the tag division. I know last week I said to Dante McCaffery that he better get it done tonight, but the fact is…there’s no reason to bother with payment if there are no results. And the fact is that last week, Kennedy Street was willing to prove herself…and yes she fell short, but maybe we need to ask the same of our World Tag Team Champions, Lohan Country.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute.”

 

Laura: “I mean there is no reason why we shouldn’t just right a lot of wrongs and give the Truelove Twins the tag title shots they deserved right from the moment they walked in too!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Laura: “And it’s great, the Lohans got to give their family a tag title that is theirs, but that’s all well and good. Time for the champions to take centre stage and I can’t think of anything better than seeing the World Tag Team Championship belts all over fashion and pop culture magazines in photo shoots around the world. Just as the US Championship has been with Dior and the World Title will be soon too. So to Lohan Country…I’ll make this simple. You both know that Rise to Greatness was a moment, and a special one, but not the one that this company needs. The Truelove Twins should be the World Tag Team Champions and I think we should just crown them so tonight!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Laura: “What do you say?”

 

Sienna smiles as London and Paris do as well. Laura looks around. The crowd continues to boo them before “Mz Hyde” by Halestorm echoes throughout the arena. The crowd erupts in cheers. A few moments pass before Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay walk out from the back, holding the SCW World Tag Team Championships. Dawn has a microphone in her hand and she looks down. Laura just smiles as Sienna straightens the title on her shoulder.

 

Dawn: “Why am I not surprised this is your new plan? Couldn’t get it done at Rise to Greatness, even with two teams trying to get it done. And unlike Sienna, you’ve not earned a shot at the titles…yet. It may happen.”

 

Laura: “Just cut this…we don’t need the posturing. Are you fighting champions or not?”

 

Dawn looks at Abigail who then says something to her. Dawn extends the microphone to her. She takes it and smiles and turns back to the ring.

 

Abigail: “Well if your girls want to suffer another failure, we’ll happily kick their asses!”

 

The crowd roars. Dawn turns to her.

 

Abigail: “You can be the ones seeing double this time. Just don’t forget to reload. What’s next when you don’t get it done!”

 

Abigail throws the microphone down.  Laura smiles and turns to London and Paris who smile too. Sienna just nods.

 

Laura: “The Beauty Factory is just going to add some more gold tonight!”

 

Sharper: “Dawn and Abigail agreeing to the match. It needs to be approved by the boss, but still.”

 

Knots: “Dawn and Abigail are fighting champions. But the Truelove Twins are the Truelove Twins!”

 

Sharper: “They didn’t have a contendership match like Sienna did. So what’s going to mean? How is Mr. D going to respond?! And we could see the Tag Titles on the line tonight in Las Vegas!”

 

The crowd cheers as “Style” plays in the background. Dawn turns to Abigail as Abigail smirks and then they back up. The crowd continues to buzz as we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage in the office of Mr. D where we see Mr. D and his daughter Katya inside watching the monitor. Mr. D just looks away while at his desk.

 

Katya: “So are you going to sign that?”

 

Mr. D: “It’s not the same as the Sienna situation…but…yeah, we’ll do it. They didn’t get pinned at Rise to Greatness. I can accept it. Dawn and Abigail are willing to put the titles on the line short-notice. I’m okay with it.”

 

Katya: “This is cool…so this is what you do?”

 

Mr. D: “A bit different from last week and Rise to Greatness. A lot of this is just management. Figuring things out. Putting fires out. Like I’m going to have to figure out with Giovanni Aries…Half the board want me to fire him. Half the board wants me to give him a warning because his merch sells. Gotta love it.”

 

Katya nods, thinking about it.

 

Katya: “The Lizard King stuff doesn’t bother you? What was he on about?”

 

Mr. D: “There’s a lot of things there I need to consider, but hardly the worst thing I’ve been called.”

 

Katya: “Hmmm…”

 

Katya watches the monitor again.

 

Katya: “What about Sienna…who are you going to put up against her?”

 

Mr. D: “Thinking about that. Thinking about giving Kennedy her rematch.”

 

Katya: “What about Syren?”

 

Mr. D looks up at Katya.

 

Katya: “Kennedy agreed to face her. Just saying…And Sienna wanted to too!”

 

Mr. D: “That was Kennedy. And Syren is a tricky situation. That’s something I need to think about. And unlike the Truelove Twins…she was pinned to lose the title.”

 

Katya: “Hmmm…alright…Well can I help with anything?”

 

Mr. D: “Just having a sounding board and ideas pitchwoman works for me.”

 

Mr. D smiles looking at his daughter.

 

“Immortals” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. Blake Mason vs. Cassidy Carter then comes up.

 

Sharper: “World Tag Titles officially on the line tonight. Big news there.”

 

Knots: “And hopefully Kennedy for a World Title shot!”

 

Sharper: “But next! Blake Mason, yes, he’s back. He signed a new contract and he’ll be in action next against Cassidy Carter! Next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Syren annoyed in the locker room of Dark Fantasy.

 

Syren: “Now I’m even getting taunted by our turncoat. What the hell?!”

 

Syren sighs.

 

Syren: “I should get the title shot. Kennedy Street’s mouth gets her in enough trouble and I have to wait because of why? I got pinned. So did Kennedy Street?! Just changing the rules.”

 

Ravyn: “And at some point, it’s either going to become so obvious that it’s an advantage or he’ll perhaps see reason.”

 

Syren: “You don’t seriously believe that?!”

 

Ravyn: “Not at all. Then again, he’s booked Alex tonight.”

 

The camera turns to show CHBK grabbing his entrance attire and placing it on one of the hooks on the wall.

 

CHBK: “Trust me. I’m not happy about that.”

 

Syren: “And now I just get to sit here and wait! I don’t do waiting well. I did that for over a year!”

 

CHBK sighs and turns to Syren.

 

CHBK: “There are a few things that need to figure themselves out.”

 

Syren: “Great…more waiting.”

 

Ravyn: “Inevitable this time. I was surprised though that Sienna would do what she did. Interesting that she found a spine after this long.”

 

Syren: “Then maybe I just do what she did. I call her out. She wanted to face me. Now I’m interested!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

CHBK: “I doubt she’ll go for it.”

 

Ravyn: “Not after you turned her down.”

 

Syren: “I don’t give a damn.”

 

CHBK: “Just like I don’t care about having to compete tonight. I should be recovering…”

 

CHBK sighs.

 

CHBK: “I’ll be back.”

 

Syren: “Where are you going?”

 

Ravyn: “Relax…I’m sure he’s going to do something carefully.”

 

CHBK: “Of course.”

 

CHBK heads off as we cut away.

Blake Mason vs. Cassidy Carter

 

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first....”

The rifts to "Na na na" by My Chemical Romance begins to play throughout the arena. Strobe lights begin flashing between different shades of blue, green and red in rapid succession as Cassidy Carter steps out to a barrage of boos. Ace Marshall appears behind her, notably wearing some kind of mask.

Phillips: “Making her way to the ring, from and being accompanied by Ace Marshall.... she is Cassidy Carter!”

Cassidy and Ace make their way down the ramp to boos but ignoring them. They reaches the apron and Cassidy pulls herself up using the bottom rope for support. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively, drawing applause from Ace, before flipping over the top rope, landing inside the ring before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring, dancing a bit in a straight line to her own theme song. She raises her arms further up, now placing her hands on the back of her head before making her way to the corner. Stepping up onto the second rope she sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side.

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter here with her husband Ace Marshall. And neither of them seem to be overly concerned about their recent losses. At Rise to Greatness they were defeated by Katelyn Buehler and James Evans, and last week Ace fell to Ikiro Yoshida.”

Knots: “Are you just gonna ignore the hardware Ace Marshall has on? What IS that mask, anyway? He didn't have that last week, but now he has that... almost protective mask over his face.”

Sharper: “Seems like a good thing to me, it doesn't look like he can speak with that thing.”

Knots: “I wonder if Ikiro finished with his Karaoke Kick what Kate started at Rise to Greatness with her KTFO and shut him up for good!”

Cassidy's music fades, and a few seconds pass before "The Memory Remains" by Metallica starts to play. Blake Mason simply walks through the curtain, looking around. He pauses momentarily at the top of the ramp as the crowd gives him a mixed welcome.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts.... Blake Mason!”

Not reacting to the reaction the crowd is giving him, Blake heads to the ring, focusing on the ring and walking with a purpose. Reaching the steel steps, Blake walks up them, on to the apron, then steps through into the ring. Blake opts to lean against the turnbuckle, the expression on his face stoic as he watches Cassidy from across the ring.

Sharper: “And this is a sight we weren't sure we would see again following Rise to Greatness... Blake Mason in an SCW ring. There was speculation he wouldn't renew his contract. Fielded offers from other promotions. In the end though, here he is.”

Knots: “Blake is here, he's got a new contract, and he's been kicking some serious ass in recent weeks, with wins over Thirteen, Jake Starr, and Owen Cruze. It's almost like he got rid of about a hundred and thirty pounds of dead weight!”

Sharper: “I see what you did there, Jon.”

Knots: “I'm about as subtle as a train wreck, it's part of my lovable persona.”

The bell rings. Blake and Cassidy both step out of their corners and appear to be sizing each other up. Blake glares while Cassidy smirks. Ace watches from the outside as Cassidy quickly bounces off the ropes and nails Blake with a forearm. She rears back for another, but Blake blocks it, grabbing her arm and slinging her across the ring. Cassidy bounces off again, and Blake gets a boot up, knocking her down. Cassidy hits her back, but rolls back and through and is up to her feet. She runs at Blake and leaps with a dropkick. Blake goes down, but gets right back up along with Cassidy. They both turn and face off in the middle of the ring, Blake still glaring and Cassidy still smirking.

Sharper: “Athletic start to this bout, and this is going to be interesting to see, given Blake has almost a foot on Cassidy and is literally double her weight.”

Knots: “She's a crafty one though, and you can't overlook the presence of Ace Marshall. King of debauchery and distractions.”

Sharper: “Blake has never really been one to fall victim to distractions, Ace would have to get physically involved, and risk a DQ.”

Knots: “Unless the distraction is wearing a skirt... and I wouldn't put that past Ace, either.”

Sharper: “That... that's a good point.”

Cassidy runs the ropes, and goes for another forearm. Blake ducks. Cassidy spins out, Blake turns and connects with an uppercut. Cassidy stumbles backwards. Blake lands another, and Cassidy falls into the corner. Blake runs and drills her with a knee to the ribs. Cassidy holds on to the top ropes to stay on her feet. Blake backs up a few steps and runs, his knee up for another, but Cassidy drops down, evading the knee as Blake nearly hits the ring post instead, but catches himself. Cassidy crawls out from the corner. Blake turns and Cassidy greets him with a dropkick into the corner. Blake hits the ringpost hard. The crowd oohs while Ace claps.

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter just changed the momentum of this match with one dropkick.”

Knots: “She'll have to stay focused though if she wants to take advantage, all that showboating is just giving Mason time to recover.”

Cassidy walks around the ring with her arms over her head, soaking in the boos. Blake pushes off the ropes and back to his feet, just glaring at Cassidy while she parades around. Ace continues to clap, and with her back to Blake, Cassidy takes a bow, garnering more boos.

Sharper: “Cassidy just milking this and Blake is getting more and more angry as he watches her.”

Knots: “Maybe this so-called changed attitude of his isn't so different after all.”

Sharper: “He has every right to be angry here. Ace and Cassidy created drama for Katelyn Buehler, the mother of Blake's daughter.”

Cassidy turns around finally, and sees Blake's angry stare. She smirks again, and bounces off the ropes again for momentum... but Blake explodes from the corner and drills Cassidy with a stuff clothesline that flips her all the way over! The crowd oohs and some cheer as Cassidy lands hard on her back. Blake stands over her and points down into her face.

Blake: “That's for screwing with my family!”

Ace jumps up onto the apron. The official hears him and turns as Ace has one leg through the ropes. The official waves him off and admonishes him to get out and down. Ace does as Cassidy rolls over. Blake pulls her up by her hair and then lifts her up and over with a belly-to-back suplex. The official turns back to the match at the sound as Blake goes for a cover.

Cassidy gets her shoulder up. Blake rolls off and gets up. Cassidy rolls to the ropes and pulls herself up, holding her back.

Sharper: “Blake Mason just turned Cassidy Carter inside out with that clothesline, and maybe the suplex tweaked her back.”

Knots: “Look at Ace going around the ring to check on her. Playing the concerned husband.”

Sharper: “At least he's showing concern for someone, both he and Cassidy seem to have forgotten all about their supposed protege Alistaire Allocco. Seemingly abandoning him last week.”

Knots: “Clearly they have more important things to worry about. Like each other. And Cassidy's shoe fetish.”

Ace gets on the apron again and leans in to Cassidy. He appears to be saying something near her ear, but with a little difficulty. Cassidy nods. The official sees and starts to come over. Ace drops down, his hands in the air innocently. Cassidy turns back towards Blake/ Blake glares, and waves his hands at Cassidy in a 'come on' motion, seemingly irritated that she is clinging to the ropes. Cassidy steps away from the ropes, and Blake runs at her looking for another clothesline. Cassidy ducks. Blake spins around. Cassidy looks like she's running across to bounce off the ropes, but she suddenly changes her direction and springboards off the ropes behind her instead, and takes Blake down with a flying headscissors! The crowd oohs, and Cassidy makes a cover.

2!


Blake kicks out. Ace slaps the apron on the outside. A few cheers come from the crowd.

Sharper: “Cassidy with a near fall there, taking Blake down out of nowhere with that headscissors.”

Knots: “That kind of offense has to be her best shot of getting a win here, she has to overcome the size and power differential somehow.”

Cassidy gets up and Blake scrambles to his feet. Before he is fully vertical, Cassidy attacks with a flurry of kicks and strikes, no real technique to them, just unleashing wildly. Blake backs into the corner. Cassidy goes for one more big kick to the gut, but Blake blocks it, grabbing her leg. The crowd oohs. Blake shoves her backwards by the leg, Cassidy goes down flat on her back. Blake shakes his head, glares at her, then goes over to pull her up. Cassidy evades his grip though and scrambles backwards, getting to her feet on her own. Cassidy runs and goes up the corner to the second ropes, and leaps at Blake with a crossbody... but Blake catches her in midair! Cassidy shakes her head and screams as Blake then hoists her to his shoulders then plants her with the BME! The crowd oohs as Ace holds his head with both hands. Blake hooks the leg.

The bell rings and “The Memory Remains” plays again.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall.... Blake Mason!”

Blake gets up and the official raises his hand as a smattering of cheers come from the crowd. Ace slides into the ring, glares at Blake a second, then goes to check on Cassidy, who holds the back of her neck.

Sharper: “Add another tick to the winning streak of Blake Mason. And the fans seem to be buying into his new wrestling-focused perspective bit by bit with each victory.”

Knots: “A lot of people were skeptical, but it looks like Mason actually means it this time!”

Sharper: “It does seem that way. He did get a little stiff with Cassidy at one point, that clothesline that flipped her inside out. Can't blame a man for defending his child and that child's mother, though. A few months ago, we might have been watching Cassidy Carter being taken out of here on a stretcher. But today? Blake handled business and now he's leaving it at that.”

Blake drops and rolls out of the ring as Ace continues to help Cassidy. The camera follows Blake as he goes up the ramp backwards for a few steps, then turns to continue to the back.

Backstage we see Abigail Lindsay and Dawn Lohan backstage. With them is Katelyn Buehler and James Evans, on the phone, are also with them.

 

Abigail: “Look, Dawnie. Relax. Let’s have some fun.”

 

Dawn: “This is what they want and Kennie…she’s at the best she’s been and Sienna caught her.”

 

Katelyn: “I’m sure it will be fine. I mean it.”

 

Abigail: “Exactly. Look…I don’t do well with people like the Trueloves…so…I feel like just shutting them up. And if they beat us, well, then they can crow until the cows come home. But until then…I came to have fun…with you Dawnie and we’re going to have fun tonight.”

 

Dawn: “Alright…I’m going with it. We’ll be ready.”

 

Katelyn: “Exactly.”

 

Dawn: “How’s your arm, by the way?”

 

Katelyn: “Still sore, but damn, that felt good to knock him out and seeing Ace with that mask…all worth it. Maybe he’ll realize what a douchebag he was.”

 

James then walks over.

 

James: “And when you’re ready to go, we’ll see you dominate like the Beauty Factory or whatever they are are.”

 

Katelyn: “Talk to who you needed to.”

 

James: “Yeah…and it went surprisingly well.”

 

Abigail: “Oh…?”

 

James: “Let’s just say…I’ve got more reason to cheer for you two. Because Katelyn, you know I love you, but I couldn’t turn this down…and it’s someone looking to right themselves too. And the tag division is going to kick up. She’ll be here next week. This is going to be fun. And sorry, Abigail, Dawn…we’ll be gunning for you.”

 

Dawn: “Always good to have a challenge.”

 

Abigail: “Just like tonight!”

 

Dawn: “Yeah, yeah…”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall walking through the backstage area and Ace still has his mask on. Cassidy takes a few steps and stops.

 

Cassidy: “Ah crap.”

 

Cassidy turns and starts to move Ace the other way.

 

???: “Hey! Wait!”

 

Cassidy stops and turns and Alistaire Allocco runs over to them.

 

Alistaire: “Where are you going? I thought you abandoned me last week. I even took care of James for you.”

 

Cassidy: “Well we figured you could stand on your own two feet and we were right.”

 

Alistaire: “Aren’t I going to get some sort of adulation or congratulations? I mean, I even was able to get a win when both of you are struggling. That’s the sign of progress!”

 

Cassidy just looks at Alistaire. Ace just turns around and shakes his head.

 

Alistaire: “Come on. Don’t have anything to say for yourself.”

 

Cassidy: “You are a complete idiot. He had to have his jaw wired shut thanks to James and Ikiro. And you know how pissed off that makes me. I happen to like some of the things that mouth does.”

 

Alistaire: “Talk?”

 

Cassidy: “That’s not always one of them!”

 

Alistaire seems confused.

 

Cassidy: “Now you better be thankful he can’t just tear you a new one. Consider this a test…yeah…a test. You’re on your own for a bit. See how you do and when Ace gets better, we’ll tell you how much you suck. Got it.”

 

Alistaire: “Hey…wait…I’m doing good though. I’ve beaten two former World Champions.”

 

Cassidy lets out an annoyed groan and turns and walks off.

 

Alistaire: “Also Justin Davis was looking for you last week! Something about Rachel Foxx!”

 

Cassidy and Ace just walk off as Alistaire watches them. He shrugs.

 

Alistaire: “I’ll prove to them that I can indeed stand on my own two feet. Shouldn’t be too hard. I’m naturally that good.”

 

Alistaire nods and walks off as we cut away.

Jake Starr & Tommy Valentine in action

 

Phillips: Introducing first, already in the ring, from Reno, Nevada at a combined weight of three hundred and eighty pounds, Cletus and Tony. The Armstrong Brothers. 

Cletus and Tony Armstrong stand in the far corner. Both caucasian males are wearing matching black tights. One of them is wearing black tights with red trim, the other with blue trim to set them apart. The arena is plunged into complete darkness and the fans begin to buzz with anticipation as the screens start to strobe and the cheers begin to roll out automatically as an air raid siren then starts to sound before a robotic voice begins to speak; the words appearing on the screens at the same time.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL...

I REPEAT... THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

THIS...

IS...

THE RESURGENCE!!

As the last words are spoken, the strobing lights stop and the arena goes dark again before the screens light up once more.

THIS IS THE RESURGENCE!!!

A montage of clips showing both men hitting various moves - including Valentine's 'Grievers Bane' and Starr's 'Shooting Five Starr' - fills the screen as "We Are One" by 12 Stones begins to blast over the speakers and the crowd roar as the curtains part and both Thomas Valentine and Jake Starr both walk out onto the stage to another resounding chorus of cheer's from the crowd. Both men come to a stop at the top of the ramp, soaking in the cheers from the crowd, who are cheering loudly for the two members of The Resurgence at this point. Thomas Valentine smirks as he crosses his hands over his chest so his hands are almost touching his shoulders before flinging them apart, making beckoning movements with his hands, fireworks erupting from the stage with each gesture.

Phillips: And their opponents, at the combined weight of four hundred and forty pounds. Jake Starr. Tommy Valentine. THE RESURGENCE.

Valentine then looks at Starr who shrugs and then holds his fist up in the air and looks around as even more fireworks shoot from the stage.

Sharper: “Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine teaming again for the first time in months since Tommy went on a hiatus. Now going to get a tune up tonight.”

 

Knots: “A lot different than it was then, but let’s see if Tommy’s gotten a bit more relaxed.”

After once again looking at one another, they both smirk and make their way to the ring, slapping palms and nodding to the fans as they go. Once they reach the ring, they slide in and immediately go to opposite turnbuckles and climb them, Jake going first as he once again holds his fist up, the Universal sign of the Social Misfit as the crowds cheers increase in volume before Jake looks across at Thomas who crosses his hands across his chest again before shrugging and holding his own fist in the air, mirroring his tag team partner and friend. They both hold the pose before jumping down and switching corners, repeating the process which gets another chorus of cheers from the crowd as their music fades. Laughing, the pair high five before standing side by side and waiting for the start of the match. The bell sounds. Jake Starr and Tommy discuss who is going to start the match. Jake nods. He exits the ring. Tommy goes to the center of the ring to meet Cletus Armstrong. Collar and elbow tie up. Cletus cinches in a headlock. Tommy immediately powers himself out the headlock. Hard right hand that catches Cletus flush. He follows up another right hand by grabbing Cletus by the wrist, irish whipping him into the ropes. On the comeback, he back body drops up and over. The Armstrong brother crashes to the mat hard.

Sharper: “Nice back drop and this is all Resurgence to start.”

 

Knots: “Like they never missed a beat.”

Tommy doesn’t waste any time. He pulls him up. Forearm to the jaw. He irish whips Cletus into The Resurgence corner.  Tommy tags in Jake. Jake backs away to give Cletus a clean opening to get out of the corner. Both men tie up. Jake transitions behind the back. He delivers a beautiful release German Suplex. He follows that up with an elbow drop. With the momentum on their favor, Jake drags Cletus over to their corner to tag in Tommy. Tommy picks Cletus up, he hoist him up like he is going to slam him into the corner, instead, he hangs him upside in the Tree of Woe position. Tommy tags in Jake. Tommy runs over to the opposite side where Tony is. Tommy makes sure to drive his elbow into Tony, knocking him off the apron. Jake is already down on his mat. Tommy run, uses Jake for added leverage. On the come down Tommy catches Cletus flush with a hesitation drop kick. Tommy gets out the ring.

 

Sharper: “Nice double-team. Hesitation dropkick. Jake and Tommy working together here!”

Jake pulls Cletus away from the corner. He goes for the pin.

Out of nowhere, Tony dives in to make the save. This prompts Tommy to get back in the ring. Tony stands up. Tommy nails him with a hard right. Tony, however, rears back and slaps Tommy so hard the entire arena gasp at the sound of the slap.

Knots: “What are you doing?!”

 

Sharper: “Tommy’s laughing a bit…”

Tommy chuckles a little. Tony goes for another slap, this time, Tommy catches him. Then pokes him in the eye for good measure. Tommy tackles Tony to the ground. He waist no time driving stiff elbows into the forehead of Tony. The referee is warning starts the five sound. Jake, shocked by how rough Tommy is being, pulls his friend off of Tony. Tommy holds his hands up, muttering something that isn’t audible for the television audience. Tommy exits the ring. He ask for the tag. Looks like Jake is thinking about it, Tommy takes the decision out his hand by tagging himself in.

Sharper: “Tommy getting fired up. He may need to be careful. Could be disqualified her.”

Tommy goes over to Tony who is up to his feet. He gets him out the ring the hard way by tossing him over the top rope. Cletus attacks Tommy from behind. Tommy turns around, pokes him in the eye as well. The ref admonishes Tommy. Doesn’t look like he cares. Tommy drops Cletus to the ground with a stiff clothesline. He mounts him. Again, and again, and again, Tommy drives his elbow into the forehead of Cletus. All Jake can do is watch on the apron with a look on his face that clearly highlights that he wasn’t expecting this side of Tommy tonight.

Knots: “Jesus! Tommy wearing Cletus out!”

 

Sharper: “We saw this months ago. Tommy would just snap and it looks like the time away has changed nothing there!”

Tommy stops the assault. He drags Cletus to his feet. He leaps in the air, hooks the neck of Cletus, drops him on his head with a vicious Grievers Bane. The crowd oohs. Tommy then drags Cletus over to The Resurgence corner close enough so Tommy can tag in Jake. Jake looks at Tommy bewildered at first, then gets his head back in the mat. He ascends the top rope, meanwhile Tony looks like he is about to roll in the ring. Tommy slides out the ring, grabs Tony, rams him into the barricade. Jake finishes off the “Five Starr Treatment” hybrid finisher by connecting with a flawless Shooting Five Starr.

Sharper: “Shooting Five Star! Five Starr Treatment done!”

Jake goes for the cover.

Philips: “And here are your winners, THE RESURGENCE.”

Sharper: “Resurgence wins, but look at Jake. Going over to Tommy.”

 

Knots: “Well the time away didn’t change Tommy that much. Still a lot to figure out there.”


The referee goes to raise Jake’s hand. That is the last thing Jake Starr cares about. He rolls out the ring. Him and Tommy are having a conversation that can’t be picked by the camera. After a moment of this, both men walk to the back continuing the conversation.   

Backstage we open up to see Mr. D in his office with his daughter, Katya. CHBK is across the desk from him.

 

CHBK: “You really needed to drag me out for this.”

 

Mr. D: “You were on his list. You’re an active competitor. And frankly, recently, you’ve made it hard for me to really see your side on things.”

 

CHBK: “Yeah and you could be putting someone out there who has a future. I’m done in the ring. I’ve moved on. I’m mentoring the actual present of this company.”

 

Mr. D: “Nice…”

 

CHBK: “You know what you need to do.”

 

Katya just watches as Mr. D looks at CHBK.

 

Mr. D: “There’s nothing I need to do. You have a match. Compete. Think of it this way. After tonight, I don’t have too many people with your name on a list. And I don’t think I have to say much more given that we both know you’re mentioning Syren.”

 

CHBK: “Your daughter seems to think she’s a good option. Right, Katya?”

 

Katya just looks at CHBK a bit stunned.

 

Mr. D: “It was a suggestion. A reasonable one. But maybe one I don’t feel is the best choice.”

 

CHBK: “Don’t tell me you’re going to give Kennedy the rematch. Especially since her and Syren both have that pesky rematch.”

 

Mr. D: “I’ve not made a decision one way or another.”

 

Katya: “And you know what. Dad…maybe Syren shouldn’t be an option.”

 

CHBK scoffs. Mr. D turns to his daughter.

 

Katya: “I made the case. No pressure. This…maybe some respect would be better.”

 

CHBK: “Seriously…Katya, after everything-“

 

Mr. D: “Looks like it’s two to zero. Now, you still have a match. And don’t bother sending Syren or Ravyn here.”

 

CHBK: “So easy to show your personal leanings. Now with Regan no longer an issue…although I loved seeing her humbled…you can waste your energy on other people, those who deserve better.”

 

CHBK turns and storms out of the room. Mr. D watches him leave as Katya does too and turns to her father, almost looking for some approval as Mr. D smiles at her and we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns from commercial in the locker room of Aaron Blackbourne. The crowd roars seeing him and we then see Owen Cruze walking over to him. The crowd cheers more as Blackbourne and Owen share a fist bump before Owen sits down next to him.

 

Owen: “Ready for tonight?”

 

Aaron: “Going to have to be. Very different from MONGO. Very different from Autumn or Sophie.”

 

Owen: “Plus you’ve got Scarlet watching you.”

 

Aaron: “You noticed?”

 

Owen: “Everyone could.”

 

Aaron: “Well I’m taken.”

 

Owen then looks up as AJ Helms walks over to them.

 

AJ: “Well look at this…”

 

Owen: “AJ…”

 

AJ: “Going to give him all of my secrets. Tell him my plan. I mean we were buddies before he came up and well, the dumb and ugly you were up against, they’re gone so…”

 

Owen: “More just making sure he’s ready. Because I know how good you are.”

 

AJ: “Yeah, well, maybe he should kiss that title goodbye. Don’t know if you noticed the trend as of late.”

 

Aaron stands up and looks at AJ.

 

Aaron: “That you’re running your mouth more and acting like an entitled jackass and it’s getting you into trouble.”

 

AJ scoffs.

 

AJ: “Worked fine last week.”

 

Aaron: “Well, we’ll see if it does tonight. I look forward to the challenge.”

 

AJ: “A challenge you’re going to fall flat on your face with.”

 

Owen gets up.

 

Owen: “Okay guys-“

 

AJ: “Don’t you have another match to deal with? Focus on that Owen. Suggestion from a friend.”

 

Owen: “What the hell, man?”

 

AJ: “Actually, better plan, be prepped to help your friend down after I take his title. We’re taking all of the gold, Aaron.”

 

AJ backs off as Aaron watches him walk off. Owen just watches him.

 

Aaron: “Look, I know he’s your friend-“

 

Owen: “He is…but hard to be when he’s like that.”

 

The scene cuts away.

Alexis Quinne vs. Kordellia Amida

Television Championship Eliminator

 

Lights go out and unravel hits a single dim spot light moves to the entrance and shines down on Kordellia Amida. She wears a long black veil that almost completely covers her she slowly walks to the ring ignoring the fans. 

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, this is Kordellia Amida!

She calmly walks up the ring stairs and then steps under the middle rope she then slowly pulls the veil off her to reveal her face her eyes rolling back in her head as they seem like dead and pupiless. 

Sharper: Kordellia is set to face off against Alexis Quinne and the winner will receive a TV title shot for next week. Kordellia is looking to bounce back after losing to Konrad Raab at Rise to Greatness Weekend.

Knots: And she can do it, too. She creeps me out, Sharper. Do you see those eyes? At any moment, she can just snap.

Sharper: She is dangerous. But her opponent tonight is someone who is also willing to bend the rules as well.

The eyes all focus on the stage as A Stranger I Remain hits over the P.A System. The lights begin to flash violet, silver and black crowd starts to buzz and cheer. As the crowd looks on and the song kicks into gear, smoke fills up the stage. The lights continue to flash black and purple. From there, the crowd sees Alexis Quinne, standing wither her back turned against the people, dressed in black and purple Varsity Jacket. The back of the jacket has a black and silver fist in the middle with "New Americana" written right below it. Alexis turns her head and we see she's wearing a half white, half black and purple V for Vendetta mask with El Rudo's mask around her neck and a black baseball bat in her hands. Quinne turns around and looks around the arena before she begins walking down to the ring.

Phillips: And introducing her opponent. from San Francisco, California, she is Pint Sized Awesomeness...ALEXIS QUINNE!

Alexis walks down to the ring, looking around the ring. The camera does a full rotation as Quinne walks past it, flashing Rudo's mask. Quinne stops mid-way. She looks around before un masking herself. The crowd cheers as Alexis looks around. She then keeps walking past the camera. She sees a young girl in the front row, with one of her hats on. Alexis stares at her before offering her knuckle to the girl. The girl and Alexis touch knuckles and the crowd roars as Alexis smirks and nods her head. She then walks up the steel steps. Alexis turns to the crowd and yells to them as they cheer her. She ascends up the top turnbuckle and Alexis then yells to the crowd, who cheer. The lights inside the ring flash black and purple as Alexis flashes the crowd the peace sign before shortly turning it into a fist. Alexis looks around at the crowd before she jumps into the ring. Quinne removes her jacket and tosses her V for Vendetta mask out to the crowd. She looks at Kordellia, who smiles, as Alexis says a few words and briefly smirks as well. She then turns around and goes to the corner; before placing Rudo's mask around the turnbuckle. She then climbs up the top rope and rest the baseball bat on her collarbone, waiting for her opponent.

Sharper: Alexis Quinne just came off of beating AJ Helms at Rise to Greatness and she's finding a bit of a groove again after a few months of inactivity.

Knots: Quinne's tough. We all know that. Even if she doesn't make the best decisions. Though, I want to see what she'll do tonight against Kordellia because she is not afraid to gouge someone's eyes out just for her entertainment.

The referee walks over to Alexis and ask her to let go of the bat. Alexis puts her hands up before dropping her bat to the outside. She then jumps down and stares at Kordellia, who continues to smile. The referee soon signals for the bell and the crowd roars. Alexis turns to the crowd before turning back to Kordellia. Kordellia steps out of the corner and retains her smile as she slowly circles around the ring as does Alexis. Kordellia walks noticeably slower ad Alexis stops and looks at Kordellia. Alexis flashes a brief smirk before pointing at her to everyone. Alexis goes to grapple Kordellia and Kordellia responds to a kick to the right calf of Alexis. Alexis drops to one knee, wincing.

Knots: Ha! Quinne got caught!

Sharper: Kordellia very much wrestles to her own pace. It can be jarring to someone like Quinne, who has a plan going into matches and tries to stick to it.

Kordellia slowly circles around Quinne as she winces. She pulls Alexis up by the air and then lands another kick to Quinne's right calf. Quinne drops to a knee again and Kordellia watches. Quinne quickly responds with a few shots to Kordellia's mid-section's to cheers. However, Kordellia merely absorbs the shots and smirks. Quinne keeps throwing shots but Kordellia stops it with a knee to the chest of Alexis that sends her to the canvas. Quinne stirs as Kordellia looks around and smirks. Kordellia leans down and smiles in the face of Alexis before slowly bringing her to her feet. Kordellia then cradles Alexis' head before rolling her over with a snapmare. Alexis stays in a seated position ad Kordellia observes before she pushes forward and runs to the ropes. She runs back and launches a kick but Quinne ducks and then rolls up Kordellia;

1!

Kordellia powers out at one. Quinne gets up as Kordellia just slowly gets up. Quinne runs up and fires off multiple forearms to the head of Kordellia. Kordellia just staggers and stands on her feet and just takes it. Quinne lands more and more and stops, gritting her teeth. Kordellia simply sticks her tongue out and yells at Quinne.

Kordellia: SAITEI! COME 'N!

Quinne goes and swings wildly at Kordellia, who ducks and then runs to the crowd. Kordellia runs back as Quinne turns around and drills her in the face with a Running Big Bot! The crowd oohs as Kordellia then slowly lays on top of Quinne and covers;

1!

2!

Quinne rolls the shoulder at two.

Sharper: Quinne rolls out at two but Kordellia has completely taken Quinne out of her game. Kordellia is methodical and her slow timing is messing up with Quinne.

Knots: Every shot Quinne's throwing she's just taking, too. 

Quinne stirs around as Kordellia rolls over and gets to her feet. She watches as Quinne crawls to the ropes and Kordellia then steps on Quinne's right hand. Quinne yells in pain as Kordellia presses harder on her head. Kordellia leans downward ad slowly allows salvia to drip from her mouth onto Quinne's face. The crowd boos and as the referee warns Kordellia. Quinne rolls around the ring as Kordellia smiles.

Sharper: How disgusting!

Knots: Kordellia's in her own world. And that world is not somewhere you want to go.

Quinne rolls around the ring as Kordellia slowly walks over to Alexis and brings her up to her feet. Kordellia lands a forearm and Quinne staggers. Kordellia watches Quinne staggers before she then launches another kick to her left calf. Quinne winces as Kordellia then whips Quinne across the ring to the corner. Quinne hits the corner as Kordellia looks on. Kordellia then runs to the corner and launches a kick. Quinne moves out of the way and Kordellia's foot hits the top turnbuckle. Quinne then gets on Kordellia's back ad applies a sleeper hold! The crowd roars as Kordellia tries to swing her around, but Quinne grapevines the legs and holds on. Quinne holds on and tight but Kordellia back peddles and Quinne lands hard into the corner. Quine lets go, but then immediately grabs the left arm of Kordellia and starts biting her. Kordellia yelps a bit in pain as the crowd roar. The referee demands Alexis to let go;

1!

2!

3!

4!

Quinne lets go and Kordellia staggers forward and then she jumps on her back again and goes for the sleeper. Kordellia leans down and rolls through and Quinne's back hits the canvas and she uses the momentum to rolls to the outside. Quinne then rolls underneath the ring and the crowd cheers. Kordellia just gets up and then looks around and doesn't see Quinne.

Sharper: Quinne has slipped underneath the ring and Kordellia doesn't know where she went. We've seen Quinne do this before and she's using this again to try to gain the upper hand.

Knots: Kordellia keeps popping back up. She's like Michael Myers, Jason, Freddy Krueger, all rolled into one.

Kordellia twirls around the ring, looking for Alexis and yelling out loud. Kordellia smirks sadistically as the referee also looks around as well and begins to start counting.

1!

2!

3!

4!

Suddenly, the crowd sees Quinne slowly peaking her head and rolls from underneath. She gets on the apron as Kordellia is looking the other way. Alexis ascends up the top turnbuckle just as Kordellia turns back around, facing her. 

Quinne: IKUZO NE!

Quinne then jumps off and drills Kordellia with a Front Dropkick. The crowd roars as Kordellia hits the mat and then slowly rolls out of the ring. Alexis grits his teeth and gingerly brings herself back up to her feet. She claps to the fans as they do so in response. Kordellia stands up as Quinne runs to the ropes, comes back and takes out Kordellia with a sommersault tope through the middle rope!

Sharper: Heads up! Look at Quinne!

Knots: She took out Kordellia there. But she's on the outside. Try bringing her back in the ring and pinning her!

Sharper: Quinne also talking to Kordellia in her native language. Quinne's love for Japanese culture has been well documented.

Knots: So she can understand...it!

Quinne slowly rolls to her feet and grabs Kordellia by the hair and tosses her back in. Quinne slides into the ring as Kordellia starts to get up. Quinne pins her on the mat to prevent this and covers her;

1!

2!

Kordellia rolls out at a quick two. Quinne gets to her feet as Kordellia just starts getting up again. When Quinne does, Kordellia is already getting back on her feet. She does't waste time, landing a couple forearms. Kordellia just staggers and the responds with a knee to her mid-section. Quinne bends over. Kordellia whips her to the ropes. Quinne bounces off and then slides underneath Kordellia's legs. Kordellia turns around and Quinne drops her with the Boomerang. Quinne covers again;

1!

2!

Another quick two count by Quinne. As she rolls over, Kordellia just starts getting up until she's on her feet. Quinne looks on, in somewhat amazement, before getting up and thumbing Kordellia in the eye. Kordellia staggers and Quinne goes to whip her to the ropes but Kordellia fights off. Quinne steps on Kordellia's right foot before trying again. Kordellia does get sent across and she comes back. Quinne does for a Spinning Wheel Kick but Kordellia catches her foot! Kordellia smiles before simply turning Quinne around and decking her with a hard forearm! Quinne folds over and gets down on her hands and knees. Kordellia looks down and then drills her with an Axe Kick tot he back of Quinne's head. The crowd boos as Kordellia then slowly makes the cover;

1!

2!

Quinne kicks out at two!

Knots: I thought that was it!

Sharper: Quinne rolls out in the knick of time. Quinne is relying on her craftiness to survive but Kordellia is so resilient it might not be enough.

Kordellia rolls over and smirks as she slowly gets to her feet. Quinne just stirs. Kordellia grabs Quinne by the hair up to her feet. She then lifts her up and drops her down with a Brainbuster. Kordellia covers;

1!

2!

Alexis kicks out again! Kordellia hisses at the referee as her eyes rolls in the back of her head. Quinne starts to stir. Kordellia twist her head and looks at Quinne before she slowly gets to her feet. Kordellia simply stares at Alexis as she tries to crawl for safety. Kordellia brings her up to her feet and then goes for the Shin no Uta but Quinne counters with a forearm when Kordellia brings her to her. Kordellia just staggers back. Quinne gets to her feet an charges but Kordellia scoops her up and places her on her shoulders. Quinne squirms behind Kordellia and then jumps back on her back, applying a sleeper hold. Quinne holds on and Kordellia once again back peddles and Quinne lands hard back first into the corner. Quinne then ascends up the top turnbuckle and then sits on top of Kordellia's shoulders. Kordellia walks forward and then spins Quinne around. Somehow, Quinne powers Kordellia down, dropping her head first with the Santa Maria! The crowd roars as Alexis crawls to a pin;

1!

2!

Kordellia rolls out at two! Quinne rolls over and Kordellia just starts to get up. Quinne watches as Kordellia starts to get up to her knees. Quinne just charges and drills her in the jaw with the Shining Wizard. Quinne pins again;

1!

2!

Kordellia kicks out at an early two!

Sharper: Quinne is unloading all of her arsenal and Kordellia just keeps trying to get up.

Knots; She's indestructible. Quinne might spend all the time remaining in this match to put her down.

Kordellia starts to get to a seated position. Alexis looks on and simply drills Kordellia in the face with the Green Day! The crowd oohs as Quinne then exists to the apron. The crowd roars as Quine starts ascending up the top turnbuckle and jumps off just as Kordellia starts to pick herself back up. Quinne lands with the Quinnestinal Dream! The referee then counts;

1!

2!

3!

Kordellia kicks out shortly after, but the referee signals for the bell! "A Stranger I Remain" hits the PA system as Quinne rolls over and falls on the canvas.

Phillips: The winner of this match, via pinfall, Alexis Quinne!

Sharper: Alexis Quinne has won this intriguing match. She had to break a few rules and rely on her instincts to pull it out. And now next week, she will be competing for the Television Championship.

Knots: She survived this match. It took everything for her to put Kordellia down long enough to get a three and she even kicked out a fraction of a second later. And Kordellia's still trying to get up right now!

The referee raises up Alexis' hand as she's still on the canvas. Kordellia starts to make her way up to her feet, slowly. Quinne just looks at Kordellia, looks at the crowd, and simply smiles before she rolls out of the ring and starts holding the back of her head. Quinne starts to gingerly walk up the steel steps, holding her head, as Kordellia does manage to get to her feet and smirks, before she starts holding the back of her head.

The scene opens up backstage. We see CHBK with Ravyn outside of the Dark Fantasy locker room.

 

Ravyn: “You probably don’t want to go in there. She’s not happy.”

 

CHBK: “I don’t blame her.”

 

Ravyn: “At least we know…”

 

CHBK: “Exactly. We know the new dynamic. You going to explain it to her.”

 

Ravyn: “Yeah. Just going to let her calm down. Then we together can figure out how she gets her title shot that she deserves.”

 

CHBK: “And then there’s what you want.”

 

Ravyn: “That’s going to come…too bad you get left out to dry.”

 

CHBK: “It’s Justin Davis…I’ll just deal with him and move on.”

 

CHBK pauses.

 

CHBK: “That my gear?”

 

Ravyn nods as she holds up a dufflebag.

 

Ravyn: “Come back for your entrance attire. Hopefully you’re not too hated in the male locker room.”

 

CHBK: “We’ll find out.”

 

CHBK grabs the bag and turns and walks off as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

A red backdrop appears on the screen before we see “BREE M Z!” appear on the screen. We then cut to a shot of Bree Lancaster posing at Rise to Greatness. Jason Helms’ voice is heard.

 

Helms: “Last week, video of Bree Lancaster came out, revealing that she had already moved on to her THIRD partner of the last two months. Has she finished her hypocrisy?!”

 

We then cut to a still of the blow-up doll with Bree’s face on it with a replica of the SCW United States Championship in bed.

 

Helms: “It seems not. She’s already showing she’s in an OPEN relationship with her new found beau. Who is it with?”

 

The scene cuts to new hotel room cell footage, in what appears to be a different room as we see the blow-up doll with Bree’s face on it. It rolls over. We then hear Jason Helms’ with a higher voice.

 

“Bree”: “Oh…you know I give you everything you need. I’ll love you more than Sienna ever would.”

 

We then see the sheets pulled down as a replica of the SCW World Championship in bed. “Bree” rolls over and starts to “make-out” with it.

 

“Bree”: “Yes…yes…this is so right. We have to-“

 

A door slamming is heard. The cell turns around to show the SCW United States Championship replica, with googly eyes and a wide open mouth drawn onto it in the door way.

 

“Bree”: “Oh no….this isn’t what it looks like. This is for ALL of us. There’s enough ass…er…class for both of you!”

 

We then see Leviticus throw the belt towards the camera.

 

Jason: “Jesus…we’re filming. Whatever…this is fake just like Bree. Meh.”

 

We then see one hand grabbing the two belts and putting them on top of each other and then on top of the blow-up doll with various high-pitches noises coming from Jason as The image pixelates before “BREE M Z!” pops up on the screen.

We cut to a live shot inside the Thomas and Mack Center.

 

Knots: “Have I told you how much I love Jason Helms?”

 

Sharper: “Not tonight.”

 

Knots: “Well I do.”

 

Sharper: “May have lost the US title, but having some more fun at Bree’s expense and poking fun at the hypocrisy, but also the fact that Bree seemed to also hint that she still wants that title shot at Sienna’s World Title should Sienna have won.”

 

Knots: “What about the US title?”

 

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 cheer as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena before we cut to the stage to see Christy Matthews posing on the stage in her mock-crucifix pose with Christopher Richter with her. She looks out at the crowd as a spotlight comes onto her and starts to head to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Christy Matthews won the SCW Adrenaline Championship opportunity she will receive at Apocalypse-“

 

Knots: “Unless she asks for it tonight!”

 

Sharper: “Well, who knows? Last week though, Ravyn Taylor tried to get Andrew Raynes to forge a partnership with her. Andrew turned it down, but Ravyn and Christy still have their issue.”

 

Christy Matthews walks down the rampway and over to the ring. She hops onto the apron and look out at the crowd. She then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and poses again as the crowd cheers some more. She then enters the ring. Richter walks up the steps and enters in after as Christy walks across the ring and goes to the corner. She asks for a microphone and Phillips extends her one. Christy turns back to the middle of the ring and looks around as the music fades out.

 

Christy: “After Rise to Greatness, I find myself getting ready to do something I’ve got a bit of experience with...an SCW Adrenaline Championship match. And last week, with everything else happening, I asked to have the additional week to spend with my daughter, and what do I see, but I see our Adrenaline Champion and Ravyn Taylor having a bit of a chat. Now, Ravyn, I get that you have a problem with me and I have a problem with you and trust me, I am not done with you, but this is the way it goes, and Andrew, if you’re smart, you’d at least give her some time…it may improve your chances. Not completely as I still have Ravyn’s number, but Andrew…you’re going to need more than your constant claims of what you stand for to beat me.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Christy: “Because Andrew, for someone who talks about how they’re the longest reigning active champion, and came in talking about how they were sick of the jokes, and how we need real champions, it’s all going to come to an end. And to be fair, some would have said it could’ve come to an end a few months ago. Dylan Howell gave you a run for your money in the match you wanted and good on you to fight through. Marie Jones nearly had you and some would say that had Dylan not entered, you’d not be holding that belt. How about giving her the shot to show how amazing you are?”

 

Christy scoffs.

 

Christy: “No…you’re on borrowed time. And I’ll admit that I may have fallen into this…I was hoping to get my hands on Ravyn, but I’m not going to let an opportunity to regain a title that is synonymous with my name slip through my fingers, especially the added money from holding that title to fund my daughter’s college fund.”

 

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. Christy turns to the entrance as we see Andrew Raynes walk out from the back with Dustin Adams at his side. Andrew takes a few steps and then looks at the Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder before smirking and bringing the microphone in his hand up to his mouth.

 

Andrew: “Well I guess your daughter is going to have to grow up an idiot!”

 

The crowd ohs and Christy just looks at Andrew and glares.

 

Andrew: “I don’t need help from self-righteous geniuses who want their fingers in every pie. I don’t need help at all. I’m standing here, holding this title, because quite simply, Christy….I am that good.”

 

Andrew pauses for a moment.

 

Andrew: “I’ve dealt with idiots, the borderline insane, the enraged and the self-righteous in defending this title and I’m still standing as it. Men of Win, Apparently Romantic Partners of this Title…even a Phoenix…and an Iceman. So what are you? Because I just see you as another name to the list…”

 

Andrew pauses and turns to Adams before smiling and turning back to Christy.

 

Andrew: “I know…I’ll just add your name, because after Apocalypse, I’ll be the one synonymous with this division. Sorry, Christy, your time on top of this division is gone and it’s a nice blast from the past, but SCW’s got some champions it can have faith in. But the good news is you can then spend more time at home!”

 

Andrew looks at Christy.

 

Andrew: “Going to get angry. Come on…do it. Worked so well for people like Marie and Dylan. I’ll just blow through you too.”

 

Christy: “Andrew…this is why you should’ve gotten Ravyn’s help. You couldn’t even come close to getting under my skin on your own. But I just have to do one thing to do that for you…and that’s beat you at Apocalypse. See, I could’ve tried what all of your allies are doing…but no…I want you think about this. I want you to milk your ‘longest reigning current champion’ schtick for all its worth. You won’t be saying it for much longer. It’s just going to end Happily Never After!”

 

Andrew nods and waves her off and just turns and starts to head to the back. “King of the World” plays as Christy Matthews watches as she steps back and turns to Christopher Richter. The crowd looks on as they cheer Christy. Christy just looks at Andrew and extends her arms. Andrew and Dustin leave to the back as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams walking through the backstage area and heading down the hallway as we see Bree Lancaster, holding her clutch, walking through the backstage area with Scott Burnside a few feet behind her, carrying her US Title.

 

Andrew: “Whoa…Bree….what’s the hurry.”

 

Bree: “Going to take care of something.”

 

Andrew: “The Jason crap. You know, Dustin and I can just take care of it. He can enjoy his fun. Next time he’s here-“

 

Bree: “No…he wants to keep dragging my name through the mud with his cheap tactics…I’ll show him how someone with class takes care of it…and you have to deal with Christy Matthews. You focus on her. I plan to take care of things the best way I know how.”

 

Bree glances at her clutch/

 

Dustin: “Well if you change your mind…”

 

Bree smiles and looks at both.

 

Bree: “Next time Jason shows up at an SCW show, he’ll no longer be any problem of ours.”

 

Bree smiles and turns to Scott as they head off.

Owen Cruze vs. Casterillo

 

The lights dim and flicker, as a voice booms throughout the arena.

“All I ever wanted was to leave a legacy. Something with which I would be remembered”

The voice is easily recognizable, and an ‘Icon’ chant starts to roll through the arena, as Steven Coopers ‘Born to Do’ kicks in, Owen Cruze stepping nervously out onto the stage. 

Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen, currently on his way to the ring and weighing in at one hundred and eighty nine pounds, he is Owen CRUUUUUUUUUZE!!!!

With a simple nod and a salute, Owen makes his way down the rampway towards the ring. Owen jumps up onto the apron and turns, leaning back against the ropes, his arms either side of him. Owen steps into the ring and makes his way to every side of the ring applauding the fans with a huge grin on his face before standing in the center of the ring, and looking up at the arena lights nodding his head. Owen then runs to the ropes and bounces off them, before heading to his corner and waiting for the match to begin.
 
Sharper: “We have Owen Cruze, the son of the late great Orlando Cruze, entering the ring. He gave Blake Mason a run for his money at Rise to Greatness, but came up just shy of a win.”
 
Knots: “Well, he will be trying to get a win over this guy. The monster that shaved away Beard during Rise to Greatness weekend.”
 
Sharper: “Pun intended?”
 
Knots: “I don’t know what you mean.”
 
The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the titantron. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine. The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He immediately springs right into action.
 
Sharper: “And the newcomer Casterillo not wasting any time going after Cruze.”
 
Casterillo charges towards Cruze , but Cruze rolls out of the way. Casterillo slams into the corner as the ref calls for the bell. Cruze lands a splash into the corner. Casterillo stumbles out of the corner, shaking his head.
 
Knots: “Something tells me our boy Owen will have to do a lot more than that to take Casterillo down.”
 
Cruze leaps up and connects with a  dropkick to the leg of Casterillo, followed by another, then another, before Casterillo drops to one knee. Cruze runs into and bounces off of the ropes, taking Casterillo down to the mat with a dropkick. Cruze then hooks the leg.

Casterillo powers out. Cruze gets to his feet, only to be taken down by a big boot.
 
Sharper: “Owen Cruze leveled by the big boot!”
 
Casterillo grabs Owen and whips him into the corner, before connecting with a running power clothesline. Owen stumbles out of the corner and Casterillo takes him down with a back body drop before hooking the leg.

Cruze kicks out as the crowd cheers. Casterillo picks Cruze up off of the mat once again, landing a few clubbing blows to the back before whipping him into the corner once more. Casterillo charges, going for another big boot, but Cruze manages to drop out of the way. Casterillo gets hung up on the rope as Cruze jumps onto his back, locking in a sleeper hold.
 
Sharper: “And the kid is trying to put the big man to sleep.”
 
Knots: “Good on him. Just hope that he doesn’t move quick and take your head off.”
 
Casterillo steps into the center of the ring, with Cruze maintaining the sleeper hold. Casterillo grabs hold of Cruze’s legs before driving him spine first into the corner. The crowd “ohs” upon impact. Cruze breaks the hold and slumps down into the corner.
 
Knots: “If they do an X-Men reboot, Cruze would be perfectly cast as Professor X after that.”
 
Casterillo gets to his feet then charges and lands a running knee into the fallen Cruze. Cruze falls over onto the mat before Casterillo drags him out of the corner and goes for the pin.

Cruze kicks out!
 
Sharper: “Owen kicking out despite the abuse he’s taken. The showings of the Cruze legacy.”
 
Casterillo lifts Cruze off of the mat and whips him into the ropes, before taking him down with a clothesline. The cameras pan to the entrance ramp as the crowd begins cheering at the appearance of Chris Cannon, who is shown making his way towards the ring. Casterillo maintains his attention on Owen, lifting him off of the mat, before dropping him down with Trial By Fire and hooking the leg.

Knots: “Cruze probably won’t be able to get up from that. At least, he won’t if he’s smart.”


Sharper: “This is what we’ve seen from Casterillo. It’s that sudden impact style. And is this it?!”
 
2…
 
Owen shoots the shoulder up! Chris Cannon is shown walking around the ring, keeping his eyes on the action. Casterillo still pays him no mind.
 
Sharper: “Chris Cannon making his way out here, but Casterillo has not shown him any attention. He has been fully focused since the opening bell.”
 
Knots: “He has been dismantling Owen since the beginning, wearing the young man down with his impressive skill set.”
 
Casterillo lifts Owen up once again, but Owen fires away with a European uppercut, stumbling his opponent. Owen shakes his head before running into and bouncing off of the ropes, taking Casterillo down with a float over DDT. Casterillo hits the mat and pushes himself up, shaking his head only for Owen to leap up and take him down with a jumping reverse bulldog.
 
Sharper: “Cruze managing to turn things around…”
 
Cruze manages to pull himself up to the top rope as Casterillo is shown getting to his feet. Casterillo turns and Cruze leaps off, taking him down with the Cruze Missile. Casterillo slowly begins to push himself off of the mat, but Cruze bounces off of the rope and takes him down the Cruze Stomp as the crowd explodes before he hooks the leg.

The ref calls for the bell as Owen rolls off of Casterillo. Chris Cannon is then shown entering the ring.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Owen Cruze!”

 

The crowd cheers as Owen starts to get up and Chris Cannon looks at him. Owen and him lock eyes and Chris just nods as Owen rolls to the floor. Chris steps in and looks at Casterillo as he stirs. The crowd starts to roar.

 

Sharper: “Owen Cruze gets the win. Managing to defeat Casterillo through his own resilience. But now…”

 

Knots: “Looks like Superman is going to leap over a tall building and get right up to Casterillo!”

 

Casterillo stirs as Chris just tells the official he’s not going to try anything. Casterillo grimaces as he starts to get up and holds his head and neck. He turns and falls to the ropes. He then turns and sees Cannon in the ring. Cannon steps forward.

 

Cannon: “Why? Why did you want to come after me that way? You want to face me? You can do it in the ring. Challenge me?”

 

Casterillo just smirks as Cannon just looks at him, clearly annoyed.

 

Sharper: “He’s trying to get Casterillo to explain himself!”

 

Casterillo just continues to look at Cannon as Cannon steps forward again.

 

Cannon: “You want to make a name for yourself. I’m always happy to-“

 

Casterillo then pulls himself to the floor. The crowd boos. He then looks up.

 

Casterillo: “You don’t deserve that respect.”

 

Casterillo then backs away, holding the back of his head as Cannon just extends his arms in disbelief. Casterillo continues to head away as the crowd boos as we cut away.

“Immortals” starts to play as we see the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Kennedy Street vs. Bree Lancaster comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Next, Kennedy Street will be in action. What is she going to be like when we get in the ring against Bree Lancaster?”

 

Knots: “Is Bree going to be there? Did she get her business done?!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as Chris Cannon can be seen walking backstage and over towards Jessica Winters. Jessica turns to Chris.

 

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and Chris, you tried to confront Casterillo after he shockingly attacked you last week.”

 

Chris: “Look, he seems to not want to give me any respect. I don’t get it. I don’t know why he has an issue with me, but if he doesn’t want to tell me, that’s fine. I’ll instead do what I do best. I’m back full-time and at some point, I need to get back in that ring, so at Apocalypse…Casterillo. You really want to get someone’s attention…you can try and beat me there.  If not…I’ll at least have the fun of teaching you a lesson that you should respect me and what I can do. Just like everyone else should too.”

 

The crowd roars. Chris turns and walks off as Jessica watches him leave.

Bree Lancaster vs. Kennedy Street

 

The lights dim as the horns of “I’m Worth It” by Fifth Harmony echo throughout the arena. The crowd starts to boo as white spotlights circle the arena then focus on the stage, dancing in time to the music. A few moments pass before we see Bree Lancaster, holding the SCW United States Championship, walk out from the back. Scott Burnside walks out with her and the two look around, Scott standing a few steps behind her. Bree Lancaster extends her arms and looks up as white sparks start to fall behind her from the top of the set to the stage.

{Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it}

Bree then starts down the ramp as the chorus continues, her free hand on the silver silk belt holding her robe shut. Scott follows a few steps behind as two crossing spotlights follow Bree's progress.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside, she is the SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!”

The music continues as Bree gets to the ring. She stops at the steps to pose a second as Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows up the steps as Scott then holds the ropes open for Bree to step through. She then does a little circle in the ring, showing off a bit, before stopping in the middle of the ring. Bree tugs on the silver belt, and the robe falls open revealing her pure white and silver trimmed outfit. She then pulls the robe off, swishing it around and tossing it at Scott as he stands near the corner on the apron. Bree then raises her arms overhead in a flourish, then walks another small circle, glaring at fans in the front row who are booing her. Scott goes down the steps to the floor as Bree's music fades and the lights return to normal. She hands the US Title to Scott.

 

Sharper: “A rematch of what was a World Championship match at WTF Wednesday in May. Bree Lancaster defeated by countout when she was knocked to the floor after the Touch of Class.”

 

Knots: “Is it bad that I hope that happens again today?”

 

Sharper: “You wonder if she’ll be a bit focused on other things. She took care of something before this match. Something involving Jason Helms. We don’t know what though. Jason isn’t here tonight again, so we’ll see what she has in store another night it seems.”

 

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy takes off her robe as she looks down at the ring. Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk, she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers looking over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Beverly Hills, California, she is the Sexy Flawless Diva, Kennedy Street!”

 

She continues to make her way down to the ring, before arriving at the apron, crawling in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing as the crowd roars. Kennedy jumps down and Bree grabs her from behind and drives her face first into the top turnbuckle. Kennedy turns and Bree kicks her in the ribs and then again before the referee gets between her and Kennedy. Bree backs up as the crowd boos. The referee turns back to check on Kennedy.

 

Sharper: “Bree from behind. Obviously remembering that match.”

 

Knots: “Now I really want to see it again!”

 

Sharper: “Bree getting pushed back here. The referee won’t start this unless Kennedy is okay.”

 

Knots: “And she’ll be fine. She’s a fighter. And she’s pissed she’s no longer champion!”

 

Kennedy just nods as the referee backs up and calls for the bell. The bell rings and Bree moves back in and nails Kennedy with a forearm. She nails her again. Kennedy winces and walks along the ropes and Bree follows up and kicks her in the ribs. Kennedy falls into the corner. Bree moves in and kicks her in the ribs again and then a second time in the corner. She then grabs her and whips her across the ring. Bree runs after and nails Kennedy with a running clothesline. Kennedy falls to a knee and drops down to the floor and rolls over. She grabs at the ropes and starts to get up as Bree turns back and grabs Kennedy and runs her face first into the nearby top turnbuckle again. Kennedy stumbles back and Bree shoves her down.

 

Sharper: “Bree all over the former World Champion.”

 

Knots: “Not even giving Kennedy any chance to get back into this.”

 

Sharper: “Bree always felt that she should’ve won at WTF Wednesday. She should’ve gotten another shot at least. She’s making that clear tonight. Cover!”

 

Bree hooks the leg.

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown…”

 

A shot of Lohan Country celebrating at Rise to Greatness comes up on the screen before we see a shot of the Truelove Twins posing with Sienna Swann from last week’s Breakdown and Sienna holding the World Title.

 

Voice: “The World Tag Team Championship will be on the line. The Truelove Twins challenge Lohan Country as they look to add more gold to their collection. And also…”

 

Selena Frost is shown standing in the ring before we cut to see Alistaire Allocco pinning James Evans. This is followed by shots of Giovanni Aries trying to go after Mr. D and threatening the Board of Directors last week.

 

Voice: “Selena Frost will face Alistaire Allocco. Giovanni Aries faces Josh Hudson. But will Giovanni Aries look to do more as he goes after the Lizard King? All this and much more as Breakdown continues from Las Vegas!”

Breakdown returns as we sweep down to see the desk at the SCW Studios where Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters are.

 

Spirit: “Welcome back to the SCW Studios. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters. We’ll be back in Las Vegas in a few moments, but last week we had a huge title challenge. Tonight, we have another one.”

 

Winters: “Looks like the Truelove Twins are looking to follow Sienna Swann and surround themselves with gold and Past, Present, Future, all of their allies. AJ Helms too could walk away TV Champ tonight. But US title, Adrenaline Title…they could control every title!”

 

Spirit: “Amazing how quickly things can change. The momentum shifts and you look at that collection of talent. I’m still stunned the match was made.”

 

Winters: “Why? Dawn and Abigail agreed.”

 

Spirit: “Yeah, but Mr. D’s relationship with PPF was always strained. Looks like there is a desire to put his best foot forward and doing what’s right by them and others.”

 

Winters: “One way to look at it.”

 

Spirit: “Meanwhile, we’ll see what happens with other individuals who have been having an issue with the boss. Namely Giovanni Aries. He’s still got a contract.”

 

Winters: “We heard some of the reason. But I’m not sure if that’s going to hold. He’s been quiet so far. That’s good for everyone else. He didn’t go after Kennedy again. So maybe that’s done there. I don’t know. But Selena’s in action and Giovanni’s not all there.”

 

Spirit: “Either way, a lot more to come tonight. We know now two title shots to come. But we’ve also got some comments as people are waiting for some opportunities.”

 

Winters: “No news there and I don’t know if that’s good news. Obviously trying to make some decisions and think things through. But with these challenges, obviously some people not willing to wait and in the case of Dark Fantasy, we know they’re not going to be heard.”

 

Spirit: “Exactly and it’s nice to see. I’ll say it.”

 

Winters: “Fair enough.”

 

Spirit: “Meanwhile, there are a lot of other stories we’re following tonight. One of which comes from last week and the situation regarding Donovan Kayl, who was attacked by Damian Angel, as he sought to rock SCW to its foundation and went after the Cornerstone when it appeared Donovan Kayl was going to call it a career.”

 

Winters: “A lot of subtly in Donovan’s speech last week, but obviously didn’t finish it.”

 

Spirit: “But right now, Hana Ito is backstage in Las Vegas with Damian Angel. Hana…”

 

We cut back to the backstage area. Hana Ito is with Damian Angel as he is in a darkened hallway. Har Megiddo stand behind him in the shadows.

 

Hana: “Thanks Spirit…I am here with Damian Angel and Damian, last week, you assaulted the cornerstone of SCW. But Donovan Kayl seemed to be on his way out-“

 

Damian: “Not on my terms though.”

 

Damian slowly stands up as Hana backs off a bit.

 

Damian: “See, Donovan, he was named an anchor by the owner of this company. And it seems like he was sinking, so he elected to leave. But I wasn’t done with him. See, just as Max Kane realized that I would only play with him for so long and he still left the ring worse for wear, I decide people’s fate around here and Donovan Kayl was on my radar. Now, he’s not here tonight. Nor did I expect him to be. But the interesting question will be whether he’s here next week.”

 

Hana: “Next week…why?”

 

Damian: “Because next week we find out whether the last moment we see Donovan Kayl will be as the shell of himself, as a coward. If he does, so be it. Then again, if he doesn’t show up next week, there’s other methods I can employ.”

 

Hana: “But why Donovan?”

 

Damian: “Why not Hana. And after the fact that others who I owed their destruction at my hands evaporated and crumbled…I no longer am going to wait. I am simply going to do. And I will play people as the puppets they are and there is nothing that can stop what destruction I have planned!”

 

Damian smiles as Hana gulps and backs up again.

 

Hana: “Thank you Damian…back to Toronto.”

 

The scene cuts to the studio again. Winters just shrugs.

 

Winters: “So Donovan…I hope you enjoy retirement. I’d be staying there. I’ve seen Damian do some off the rails things.”

 

Spirit: “But he’s mentioned that he’s going to play people as puppets for his destruction. And what else did he mean…”

 

Winters: “Kennedy?”

 

Spirit: “I don’t know, but Damian Angel seems to also see opportunity in the post-Rise to Greatness period.”

 

Winters: “A scary thought.”

 

Spirit: “Really…”

 

Winters: “And you know what else I just realized…”

 

Spirit: “What?”

 

Winters: “Where’s Regan been? She apologized to Mr. D last week and tonight…quiet as a mouse. That’s not Regan. So what’s she thinking or doing? What’s going though her mind. Sienna is on top of the world. AJ could be too. Bree too. Andrew….Regan is…”

 

Spirit: “I’m sure she’s thinking of something.”

 

Winters: “That’s what worries me!”

 

Spirit: “Who knows? We’re going to be back in Las Vegas after the break. What else could happen tonight as Breakdown continues? Don’t go anywhere!”

 

“Immortals” starts to play in the background as the camera pans back and we cut to commercial.

Selena Frost vs. Alistaire Allocco

 

"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 twenty minute time limit. First, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, 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: “Welcome back to Breakdown here in Las Vegas. We’re about to see Selena Frost in action against Alistaire Allocco.”

 

Knots: “After her being concerned she was going to be out of SCW last week, she’s back and facing Alistaire Allocco who is turning into a worldbeater!”

 

Sharper: “Could he defeat his third former World Champion in as many shows? Jake Starr at Rise to Greatness, James Evans last week, but what about Selena tonight?”

 

Knots: “All while Selena Frost tries to figure things out going from Rise to Greatness herself and losing to Regan Street.”

 

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentarily pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play, as the song begins to pick up into full swing, a quick line of pyrotechnics goes off, running down across the length of the stage. Through the smoke, out pops Alistaire Allocco, with both arms raised as if in presumptive victory. He marches down the ramp with his harms still held high.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

 

Alistaire doesn’t even give the crowd any attention as he heads straight towards the bottom of the ring steps. There he pauses, dropping both his arms. He rotates his torso a few times, swinging his shoulders, before he runs up the steps and across the ring apron. He steps inside, lifting a finger into the air, pointing to the sky as he stands there in the middle of the ring. His music dies as he continues to stand front and center.

 

Sharper: “An awkward night for that young man despite the opportunity in front of him. Thought he was abandoned by Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall last week. Cassidy Carter obviously present tonight.”

 

Knots: “To be fair, I would’ve abandoned him too! Winner or not!”

 

Sharper: “In any case, Selena and Alistaire both may be distracted by other things. We’ll see how it goes in this one.”

 

The bell sounds and the two competitors circle the ring. The crowd roars a bit and they lunge at one another and Alistaire immediately drops down and around Selena into a waistlock. He hoists her up and turns her down to the mat and spins around into a front face lock. Selena reaches around and Alistaire holds on as Selena manages to slowly turn and end up in an inverted front face lock, before Selena knees Alistaire in the head and then again. Alistaire lets go and rolls over. Selena nips up and turns to Alistaire as the two circle again. Alistaire lunges again and Selena ducks under and kicks him in the thigh. Alistaire winces and Selena kicks him again. She then grabs him and goes for a side headlock.

 

Sharper: “Alistaire had the control in the first back and forth and now Selena takes control.”

 

Knots: “Experience or skill. Selena can throw kicks, but Alistaire is the better grappler.”

 

Selena holds on and Alistaire grabs at the arm of Selena and pulls on it before stepping through and wrenching the arm and pushing Selena down. He goes for the lateral press.

Selena kicks out. Both get up and Alistaire goes for a leg trip and then another pin.

Alistaire kicks out. He rolls over and moves to the corner and demands a break. Selena steps towards him and then back as Alistaire smiles a bit and nods and then starts to walk out of the corner.

 

Sharper: “Alistaire, a stickler for the rules.”

 

Knots: “Wonder if that’s how he could win. Selena’s been in some intense fights where rules were a tad bit unnecessary or overlooked at times lately.”

 

Sharper: “Good point. And you wonder if that environment may have injected an influence on Selena.”

 

Alistaire looks at Selena and then lunges again, but Selena kicks him in the ribs. She forearms him in the jaw and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Alistaire goes for a clothesline. Selena ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a spinning heel kick. The crowd cheers as she gets up. Alistaire stirs and Selena takes him over with a hurricanrana into a pin.

Selena gets her shoulder up and the crowd ohs and Alistaire rolls away. Selena starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Close! Closer than I think Selena thought it would be! Exploder suplex nearly got her.”

 

Knots: “And not just caught her, but turned her all around!”

 

Selena turns and walks over to Alistaire who catches her with a shoulder to the ribs. Selena staggers back and Alistaire nails her with a kick to the ribs before hooking her up and hitting a vertical suplex. He floats over.

Sharper: “Alistaire was building some momentum and targeting Selena’s back, but Selena comes back with the Paydirt!”

 

Knots: “And Alistaire could be out. He just went face first into her foot.”

 

Selena turns and crawls over and hooks the leg.

The crowd roars.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Selena Frost!”

 

Sharper: “Alistaire just caught. A bit of inexperience and Selena didn’t hesitate! Caught him in the face!”

 

Knots: “And ended his winning streak!”

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost victorious tonight. A nice rebound from Rise to Greatness.”

 

Selena rolls over and starts to get up and stirs before we see Giovanni Aries hops the barricade. The crowd roars as Giovanni slides into the ring and Selena turns around as Aries runs over and nails her with a running forearm shot. She falls over and Aries stomps Selena over and over and over again. The crowd gives a loudly mixed reaction.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries from the crowd!”

 

Knots: “Giovanni attacked the Board last week. Now Selena this week!”

 

Sharper: “Selena stepped up to defend the Board of Directors and Mr. D from Giovanni!”

 

Giovanni stomps Selena again and again before the official grabs him and tries to get him off. Giovanni turns and nails him with a hard right. The crowd roars. Giovanni then runs over and grabs the official by the collar and pulls on it.

 

Giovanni: “You’re just part of them! Working for him! Protecting him! I will get him! Nothing is going to stop me! Not even her!”

 

Giovanni then turns and looks at Selena, starting to get up as Selena winces, holding her ribs.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni has just lost it since Rise to Greatness!”

 

Knots: “Not like Selena can do much. Just having the hard fought match against Allocco. Clearly has no problem taking the easy route to the Lizard King or whatever the hell!”

 

Giovanni starts to head over to Selena and Alistaire gets up and staggers over and grabs Giovanni and spins him around.

 

Alistaire: “Hey! No need to attack her when down. Let her get-“

 

Giovanni blasts Alistaire in the jaw. The crowd roars as Alistaire goes down. Giovanni then stomps him in the chest and then again before Selena gets up and runs over and jumps up and nails Giovanni from behind with a running forearm. Giovanni falls forward and through the ropes to the floor. Giovanni rolls over and then gets back up to his feet. As he starts to get up, we see officials and security jogging down from the back. Giovanni turns and nails one official, knocking them down as we see Dillusion, Dean Black and Chris Oliver leading the charge in trying to keep him away. Selena steps back and glances back at Alistaire who holds his jaw. Giovanni keeps trying to push through the mass of officials and security to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Allocco even getting involved, but Selena knocking Gio out of the ring and she’s ready to fight. Gio wants back in.”

 

Knots: “And they’re trying to keep him out of the ring!”

 

Selena keeps watching Giovanni as Giovanni keeps trying to get through and we slowly cut to commercial.

Breakdown returns as we see Selena Frost pacing backstage. Jessica Winters is with her.

 

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here with Selena Frost and Selena, Giovanni Aries just came out and attacked you, presumably because of last week. We’ve heard some rumblings over what will be done with Gio-“

 

Selena: “Jessica…you want to know what they should do. Put him up against me. Give me a match against me. Let’s do it whenever works. Apocalypse? Fine. Next week. I don’t care. He wants to go around, talking about Lizard Kings and what not. Well I’m not a Lizard King. I’m the Snow Queen and I’m not here to get attacked. Giovanni keeps talking about a war. I have no problem giving him one. So if Mr. D and the Board want to know what to do there, after what Giovanni pulled next week and just moments ago, put him against me. That’s what they can do. Believe it!”

 

The crowd roars as Jessica nods.

 

Jessica: “Thank you for your time.”

 

Selena nods and walks off as we cut to the ring.

“Adrenaline” by Gavin Rossdale plays as the crowd cheers some. A few moments pass before we see Dylan Howell walk out from the back. He looks around the arena before glancing back and we see the woman he was with last week and who approached him at Rise to Greatness to check on him, Samantha Alexis, walk out and join him. Dylan holds her hand and the two look around before he starts to head to the ring alongside Samantha.

 

Sharper: “Last week we heard from Dylan Howell and his girlfriend, his former therapist, Samantha Alexis. Apparently Dylan had a lot to think about.”

 

Knots: “He wanted to be Adrenaline Champion more than anything. Andrew Raynes beat him though, in the Thunderdome, and Dylan has to move on.”

 

Dylan and Samantha walk to the ring and Dylan walks up the steel steps before turning back, holding Samantha’s hand as she walks up. She looks around and Dylan holds the ropes open for her. Samantha enters in and Dylan follows. Dylan then looks around before walking across the ring. He asks for a microphone. Phillips hands him one and Dylan takes it. He turns back to the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers him as his music fades out.

 

Dylan: “Thank you…”

 

Dylan pauses and turns to Samantha who says something to him. Dylan nods.

 

Dylan: “It may have been a month since I stood in this ring, in the Thunderstorm….but I’m still sore and I’m still feeling the effects of that match.”

 

Knots: “Thunderdome, Dylan…Thunderdome!”

 

Dylan pauses.

 

Dylan: “I was hoping I would be standing here with something else with me, along with Samantha here. I was hoping I would be standing here as the SCW Adrenaline Champion. I wanted Addy to come home! Addy was all I ever wanted. To give Addy everything, she desired. To give her the respect she deserved. And at Rise to Greatness…despite the fact that I hate Andrew Raynes’ guts. Despite the fact that Andrew Raynes is someone I will probably hate forever…I can admit that he was the better man at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Dylan sighs as the crowd looks on and some boo.

 

Dylan: “Addy is his. And time marches on. Now, he will move on to defend Addy against Christy Matthews. Two people who I know love that title. Even if I may not love them. It all started for me several years ago. I wanted that title more than anything. I got to hold her in my arms to start this year when I did the impossible. Getting through God knows how many people to become the Adrenaline Champion. For six months, I tried to get her back…to also teach Andrew Raynes a message….to get revenge for it. But at the end of the day, I wanted one thing…for everyone else to realize why Addy was so special. For everyone else to look at her the way I did…and for Addy to be the hot girl at the prom everyone wanted…and it seems that’s the case. She’s got to move on…and so do I. Whether I like it or not.”

 

Samantha just looks at Dylan, clearly a bit concerned.

 

Knots: “You said this woman with him is his therapist.”

 

Sharper: “Former and she’s being supportive, even if Dylan is a bit odd in what he is saying.”

 

Dylan: “But don’t worry. I’m happy. Everyone sees the Adrenaline Championship as special and that’s what gives me the biggest smile, even if it’s not with me. My work there is done.”

 

Dylan pauses again and looks down. Samantha supports Dylan by rubbing his back a bit.

 

Dylan: “And so I’ve talked to my family….my friends…Samantha…and well, after I leave here tonight…under my own power, I will be taking time for myself and doing what I need to do. It is time for me to call it a career. I am retiring.”

 

The crowd buzzes as we hear various exclamations of “no” throughout the crowd.

 

Sharper: “What…”

 

Dylan: “I’ve decided I’ve done what I’ve wanted to do for so long. So this is it. Tonight, I walked into this ring under my own power. And when I leave…same terms…on my terms…I can’t complain. Some other things are finally going my way.”

 

Dylan brings the microphone down and just then “What’s Next” starts to play. The crowd roars and boos. Dylan turns and we see Regan Street walk out from the back. Mikaela Street walks out with her. They both just look down at the ring. Regan doesn’t do her normal playing to the crowd. They just head down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Dylan Howell announcing his retirement and this is a shocking turn of events.”

 

Knots: “Donovan Kayl last week, now Dylan Howell. Rise to Greatness XV was a big event.”

 

Sharper: “Regan Street and Mikaela Street both coming down to the ring. Half-sisters of Dylan. Presumably they knew.”

 

The two reach the ring. Samantha backs up and looks at them as Mikaela enters first. Dylan just turns to the crowd, trying to get them to stop booing. Mikaela just walks over and waves him off and steps forward and hugs Dylan. Regan steps in and looks at her sister and half-brother hugging.

 

Sharper: “Family playing a role.”

 

Knots: “Regan did say it was important. She’s out here. To support Dylan.”

 

Mikaela steps back and Regan then looks at Dylan. She says something to him. Dylan just nods and Regan walks over and hugs him. They say something to each other before Regan steps back and raises Dylan’s arm. She points to Dylan as the crowd roars. Some boo.

 

Sharper: “Well, whatever you think-“

 

Just then, Regan grabs Dylan by the head and drives him into the mat with the CATastrophe! The crowd ohs and looks on stunned, before boos come from all over. Mikaela just turns away, almost willfully trying to ignore what Regan just did. Samantha just looks stunned at Regan before looking at Dylan. Regan calmly gets up.

 

Knots: “Holy crap!”

 

Sharper: “Regan Street with the CATastrophe on Dylan?! That’s your half-brother?!”

 

Samantha then goes to turn to Dylan before Regan grabs her by the hair. She jerks her back up and she yells out before Regan looks at her and shakes her head and pulls her in and drives her down with the CATastrophe too!

 

Sharper: “No! Come on! She’s not a competitor! What the hell is wrong with you Regan?!”

 

Knots: “Well I guess we know who Regan is going to take out the frustrations of last week on! She had to apologize to Mr. D. Maybe she needed to blow off steam!”

 

Sharper: “But this was a moment for Dylan! And then attacking him and his girlfriend! What the hell is wrong with her?!”

 

The crowd boos as Regan slowly gets up. She then looks at both of them. She then motions to Mikaela. Mikaela glances back at Dylan and shakes her head before turning and exiting the ring. Regan calmly leaves the ring too. She then heads to the back as the crowd boos. We then see some officials running down from the back, running past Regan and Mikaela. The Streets ignore them as they continue to the back as Dylan and Samantha remain down in the middle of the ring. The boos continue as we cut to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:

We see a shot of Dylan Howell being helped out of the ring. Samantha Alexis is on a stretcher, being helped as Dylan winces, stumbling forward a bit, holding his head as officials help him up.

 

Sharper: “The aftereffects of what we saw moments ago. Regan Street attacking her half brother and his girlfriend and we don’t really know why.”

 

Knots: “Regan apparently came out from a locked room and has returned to a locked room. Dylan getting helped out of the ring.”

 

Sharper: “Same for his girlfriend, who is not a wrestler. Just…stunning.”

 

We see Dylan continuing to be helped to the back, still wincing in pain as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Slayter McKinney vs. Derek Adonis

 

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!


The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be graced by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis! Stepping out amidst spotlights of every colour of the rainbow alongside Cookie and Manvel, the man’s outfit radiates light against a few blacklights slipped in, and he is completely oblivious to his detractors, basking in the glow of the spotlight as he begins his sensual stride towards the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Manvel and Cookie, representing the Golden Triangle, he is Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

 

The trio head to the ring. As the chorus comes around, Adonis steps up the steps, taking each step with added emphasis. He gets onto the apron and after winking at a particularly friendly female, pulls himself through the ropes. He gyrates just a little bit in the ring as his music fades.

 

Sharper: “Derek Adonis about to be in action against the newcomer Slayter McKinney, but you may be wondering where the KABLAMa Sutra is.”

 

Knots: “Mines at home. Read it regularly. Kennie is pretty good at positions 130 through 146.”

 

Sharper: “Uh…thank you for that. Apparently, they’ve sold out and a second edition is coming out this fall. So uh…there you go.”

 

Knots: “It even has whole new sections. Including mailed in suggestions!”

 

The opening salvo of struck and sustained notes of “What Can I Do if the Fire Goes Out” by Gang Of Youths kicks in, the lights flash on and off in time. Slayter McKinney comes out with an arm raised, her back to the crowd, nodding her head in time with the struck notes and drum slams.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Yorkshire, United Kingdom, she is Slayter McKinney!”

 

The uptempo drums kick in and she makes her way down the ramp, with a hop in each energetic step, slapping hands with the fans. She rolls up on to the ring apron on her knees, gripping the rope and climbing to her feet and doing a quick, on-beat turn to the crowd. She steps in under the middle rope and climbs to the corner turnbuckle for one last pop from the crowd before leaping down, warming up and preparing in her corner for her opponent.

 

Sharper: “Slayter McKinney making her in-ring debut. Last week, we saw her backstage. Apparently she had helped set up some of the ring and the production set up. Someone very dedicated.”

 

Knots: “Also has a little one at home.”

 

Sharper: “We shall see what she is capable of in the ring here.”

 

The bell sounds and Derek looks at Slayter. Slayter comes out with her hands up as Derek watches her to get a sense of how to move in. Derek moves in and Slayter drops down enough to catches his arm and then hip throw him over her. Derek rolls over as the crowd roars a bit. Slayter looks at him as Derek starts to get up and nods. He then lunges again and Slayter ducks. Derek stops and turns and Slayter hits a spinning leg sweet, knocking Derek onto his back. She then grabs him and starts to roll him over and starts to go for a Gogoplata, but Derek uses his weight to roll over and into the ropes. The crowd applauds a bit as Slayter starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Very sharp in the ring to start here.”

 

Knots: “Making Derek unsure of where she’ll come from.”

 

Sharper: “Good start right now.”

 

Derek gets up and then lunges again and Slayter grabs his arm and wrenches it. She then jumps up and into a headscissors before rolling through taking him down and maintaining the headscissors. Adonis moves himself, shimmying along the ropes before getting to the ropes and kicking at them. Slayter holds on for a moment.

 

1!

 

She lets go and rolls back. She looks at Derek as Derek rolls over coughing and gets up and Slayter grabs his arm and wrenches it. She turns and goes for a hip throw, but slips. She winces, annoyed, but Adonis elbows her in the jaw. Slayter stumbles back and Derek moves in and grabs her and whips her across the ring. She bounces off and Derek scoops her up and hits a powerslam into a pin.

 

Sharper: “A bit of a slip from Slayter. She has been out of the ring for a while until the last couple of weeks.”

 

Knots: “Good start, but one miss and Adonis takes advantage. Just dropping her. Cover!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

Slayter kicks out. She turns and Adonis pulls himself up. He pulls up his pants a bit before clubbing her in the back. He then grabs he and hits a back suplex. Adonis gets up and turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a running elbow drop to her chest. The crowd ohs. Adonis goes for the pin again.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Slayter kicks out again. She turns and starts to stir, holding her chest a bit. Adonis grabs her and pulls her up. He nails her in the ribs with a shot before pushing her into the ropes and firing her across. She bounces off as Manvel and Cookie cheer on Adonis. Adonis goes for a clothesline. Slayter ducks and bounces off the other side and Adonis scoops her up and hits a bearhug front slam. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Caught her again. Adonis plants Slayter McKinney!”

 

Knots: “Adonis could be looking to make this it!”

 

Adonis then gets up and looks around before running into the ropes. He bounces off and jumps up for a big splash, but Slayter rolls out of the way. Adonis hits the mat and starts to get up and then jumps up and hits a scissors kick to the back of his head. Adonis rolls over and Slayter gets up and rolls her hands before hitting a bionic elbow. She goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Adonis kicks out. Slayter rolls off. Adonis stirs and starts to get up and Slayter looks at him and runs at him. Adonis scoops him up and turns him over, right into the Slayer. The crowd ohs and Slayter hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Slayter McKinney!”

 

Sharper: “Slayter McKinney using her own momentum and using it not just to take Adonis down, but to get the three count!”

 

Knots: “Looked like Adonis had a counter there, but Slayter kept going through. Head first into the mat. Dazed, confused, and beaten tonight!”

 

Adonis rolls over, holding his head as Slayter gets up and looks at him. The referee raises her arm and she turns and looks around, holding her arm up in the air and listening to the crowd. Manvel and Cookie head over to check on their friend as Slayter turns and drops to the floor and rolls to the mats. She then looks around, relieved a bit as she heads to the back and we cut away.

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see Sienna Swann standing outside of the Past, Present, Future locker room with Hana Ito.

 

Hana: “Hana Ito here with the SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann and first, before I ask you a question, you’re in the same locker room as Regan Street. We need to ask about that-“

 

Sienna just looks at Hana.

 

Sienna: “I guess this interview is over. If you want to talk to Regan, you can talk to her when she has something to say. But you’re with the SCW World Champion. I am the only one that should matter in this interview.”

 

Hana: “S..sorry. We’ve heard some rumblings over who may face you at Apocalypse. Who could be next? Even Syren-“

Sienna chuckles a bit.

 

Hana: “But Kennedy has been mentioned. Could be Bree as well.”

 

Sienna: “Well I’ll let SCW decide that one. Syren had her chance to face me one on one and said no. So you can get my answer there. And Bree will get her shot against me. Trust me there. I just realize the need for the World Champion to have a…good relationship with the people in charge just as they should with me.”

 

Sienna smiles.

 

Sienna: “So whoever SCW puts in front of me, I will win. That’s what I do. I’m the IronAngel…the real Perfect Ten…the IronChampion. See, I’m easygoing right now. I’m finally where I should be and everyone better enjoy it. This is a sight they can see for a long time. So whoever gets the first shot…I’ll make it a crowning moment for the challenger before I erase any hope they have of becoming champion. But for now…for tonight, I’m focusing on the next step in the Beauty Factory and Past, Present, Future simply being the Present and Future of this sport…when the Truelove Twins become the World Tag Team Champions.”

 

Sienna Swann smiles as the SCW World Championship remains on her shoulder as the scene fades to black.

AJ Helms vs. Aaron Blackbourne

SCW Television Championship

 

Phillips: ”The following match is for the SCW Television Championship, introducing… the challenger…”

The lights in the arena cut completely and silence fills the room for a moment before “Rise Up” by Asking Alexandria blasts over the speaker system and the crash of the first drumbeat triggers a single spotlight on the stage. In the spotlight, we see AJ Helms standing with his back to the fans, the hood of his sleeveless jacket up over his head. In one fluid motion he spins around and stoops for a minute before throwing the hood back and his arms up in the Self High Five. He holds the pose for a second before jumping and breaking the hands apart, single pyros erupting with a ‘Bang’ on either side of the stage, which trigger the house lights to raise again as AJ smirks and starts to make his way to the ring.

Phillips: “From Asbury Park, New Jersey, now fighting out of Hollywood California; he weighed in earlier at two hundred and one pounds and is a member of the Helms Dynasty. Please give it up... FOR AJ HELMS!”

 Reaching the bottom of the ramp, AJ gives a burst of speed and runs to the ring, jumping up and sliding in leg first before popping back up and running to the corner where he scales the turnbuckles and throws his arms into another Self High Five. He pushes back as he breaks the hands apart and turns to land facing the middle of the ring again. Walking over to the ropes, he leans into the camera at ringside and mouths the word “BANG” into it before removing his jacket and handing it off to the outside. Turning, he settles back into the corner and waits for the start of the match.

Knots: “Talk about becoming snottier each passing week, but I always said that you can’t make it if you don’t have a edge and AJ is becoming edgy, baby.”

Sharper: “Earlier tonight, AJ Helms and Aaron Blackborne had a little bit of a tense encounter earlier this evening”

Knots:” AJ is showing arrogance. He’s getting confident-“

Sharper: “More like cocky, he told the current TV Champion, the man he’s challenging the title for, completely off. Disrespect just will anger Aaron Blackbourne.”

Phillips: “And the SCW Television Champion…”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. When the lyrics kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations. When the song hits the chorus, pyro suddenly goes off on the stage in sync with the creative soul himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers. The lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed, as Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, happily accepting high fives from the fans with a smile. He stops at the end of the ramp, peels off the SCW Television championship and holds it into the air.

Phillips: “Weighing in for this evening’s contest at 175 pounds, ladies and gentleman, please welcome AARON BLACKBOURNE!”

As he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in the same raised and outstretched pose as before, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead. He lifts the SCW Television title one more time, stepping up into the center of the ring. AJ Helms doesn’t stay in his corner. Both men meet face to face, the referee trying to separate each man from one another as their mouths are running.

Sharper: “Aaron and AJ are engaged in a heated exchange of words before the start of this match.”

Knots: “AJ is trying to get underneath Aaron Blackbourne’s skin no doubt.”

Sharper: “AJ seems just as upset as Aaron. I think we’re about to see an intense.”

Aaron Blackbourne points to the belt and then at himself, signaling he’s going to retain. AJ gives him a shove before the referee throws his body between the two competitors. He turns to Aaron and takes the belt. He lifts it up and walks it over to the ropes. The bell rings and both men meet in the center of the ring, and they grapple. The slightly larger AJ Helms has a little momentum and weight, and he begins to walk Aaron Blackbourn back into the corner. Blackbourne attempts to avoid being cornered with a kick to the midsection. AJ tries to limit the kicks by drawing himself upperbody to Aaron’s torso. Aaron tries to drive his knee in the short space, but AJ slips to the side. AJ slams the back of Aaron’s head into the top turnbuckle. He walks Aaron towards the center of the ring and he swings a kick to the backside of Aaron’s right knee. Aaron fights back with a swinging elbow, and connects on the tip of AJ’s jaw. AJ staggers, opening himself with a kick to the gut. Aaron spins around for an elbow but AJ ducks underneath, dropkicking Aaron’s knee. Aaron stumbles slightly at the strike but he manages to lean over and pulls AJ to his feet. Irishwhip into the ropes, AJ bounds back right into a dropkick from Aaron.

Sharper: “A back and forth volley of strikes in the earlier moments. This is turning more into a brawl than a wrestling match.”

Knots: “Aaron’s known to be a striker, but AJ seems to want to best Aaron at this own game here.”

Sharper: “Let’s see how that will work out. Another example of AJ trying to show some attitude, a continuation of his behavior as of late.”

Aaron doesn’t give AJ a chance to get to his feet, there’s he swiftly drops onto AJ’s side with an elbow drop. He sits AJ up, he vaults into the ropes, runs past AJ and drills him with a soccer kick right to the chest. AJ lets out a yell of pain as he holds his chest, climbing to his feet. Aaron meets him with an elbow, almost blindsiding AJ. AJ falls back into the corner. Aaron doesn’t hesitate, he pursues his prey, meeting AJ in the corner, monkey flips sends AJ flying back down into a seated position again. Aaron comes from behind with another soccer style kick, this time the mark it strikes is AJ’s spine. AJ stretches out his arms as his face shows the agony. Aaron pulls AJ around, spins him forwards and goes for a inside cradle pin:

AJ Helms explodes out of the pin attempt. He scrambles to his feet, and despite the red marks on his chest, he isn’t slowed. Aaron trying to stay aggressive, runs at him, but maybe too aggressive as AJ lifts him up for a flapjack and drops Aaron across the top turnbuckle of the nearby corner.

Sharper: “AJ manages to counter, interrupting the onslaught that has been Aaron’s offense.”

Knots: “He might be hurting, Adam. But man, that pain has just made him angrier and more defiant.”

Aaron is huddled over the corner. AJ climbs to his feet and sees Aaron’s back turned. He rushes in, and dives at Aaron’s knee. Aaron stumbles forward into the turnbuckle, and hangs on. AJ steps back up and drills a knee to the lower back. Aaron responds now by swinging an elbow. AJ stumbles back a few feet, holding his lip. Aaron turns around and tries to leave the corner at AJ, but before he can react there’s AJ with a shining wizard, pressing Aaron back into that corner. AJ Helms has one leg on the bottom rope and another on the middle, and he leaps off with a bulldog to Aaron. He shoves the champion over and hooks the leg for the pin:

Aaron shoots his shoulder up. AJ sends some stomps down onto the knee of Aaron. Aaron rolls into the corner for safety.

Knots: “There is no longer any hesitation in AJ’s mannerism when inside the ring. He’s attacking and he’s attacking, and he’s showing a relentless side of him that I never believed he had.”

Sharper: “He has targeted that knee of Aaron, trying to limit Aaron’s agility and maybe weaken the base for any kicks.”

Knots: “AJ wants to win. He knows where Aaron’s strengths are and he’s trying to deny Aaron those strengths. Smart man.”

Aaron pulls himself up to his feet in the corner. Before he’s able to turn there’s a knee to the back of his head. Aaron is knocked around and he falls into the corner. AJ Helms backpedals, waving his arms before charging in. He springboards off the middle rope and connects with a spinning heel kick. Aaron stumbles out from the corner in a daze. AJ rolls out to the apron and he tosses himself up onto the top rope. He leaps off as Aaron turns for a missle toe dropkick. After connecting with the kick, he tosses himself over onto the chest of Aaron and covers:

Aaron Blackbourne kicks out. AJ Helms sits up, shaking his head as Aaron rolls over onto his belly and begins to crawl towards the ropes.

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne started out the match hot, but this has been AJ Helms’ show for some time. Aaron’s been absorbing the hits.”

Knots: “I told you, AJ’s pissed and he turned up the heat. Aaron’s TV title might be shortlived.”


AJ Helms waves for Aaron to climb to his feet. When Aaron grabs onto the bottom ropes to pull himself up, AJ stomps down onto the knee again. He backs up to give Aaron some space, and calls on Aaron to stand. Aaron does so. AJ comes running towards Aaron, leaping onto his shoulder but Aaron spins and turns, dumping AJ over the top rope. AJ is basically powerbombed over the rope and crashes down onto the outside of the ring. AJ is rolling around in pain at the bottom of the ramp. The referee begins to count out AJ as Aaron leans on the ropes, staring down his opponents, trying to catch his breathe.

Sharper: “What a reversal! That might have completely swung momentum from AJ to Blackbourne.”

Knots: “That could have seriously hurt AJ Helms. Doesn’t Aaron care?”

Sharper: “He’s fighting for survival. Better AJ than him, that’s what Aaron’s thinking right now.”

AJ begins to stir at the bottom of the ramp. Aaron Blackbourne sees this and starts bounding, at first almost stumbling due to a swollen knee, but he recovers and by the time makes one lap, he leaps through the ropes, suicide dive somersault senton to knock the rising AJ off his feet.

Sharper: “Another high risk high reward paying off for Aaron Blackbourne. AJ hast just absorbed two big hits and the crowd is cheering for Aaron Blackbourne.”

Knots: “Again, that could have seriously hurt AJ Helms.”

Both men stir on the outside. AJ Helms seems to be hurting as he rolls over onto his hands and knees. Aaron Blackbourne falls to his feet and rolls into the ring first. AJ follows, noticeably upset.  AJ pulls himself up to his feet and Aaron is there with a running front dropkick to send AJ into the corner. He drops down into a seated position, Aaron hoes to complete the Creative Process!  AJ jumps out of the way and Aaron Blackbourne bounces off with both knees the middle turnbuckle. He is quick to his feet though, and Aaron turns to search for AJ Helms and there’s a swift kick to the balls by AJ Helms. The referee calls for the bell.


Sharper: “Give me a break! AJ! What was that?!”


Knots: “What is he thinking? You can’t win the TV Title that way!”

Sharper: “I don’t think he cares. I think he cares that he didn’t get pinned. Blackbourne had him on his back foot there.”

Phillips: “The winner of the match and still the SCW Television Champion…. Aaron Blackbourne!”

AJ backs up and chuckles and drops down to the floor. He just throws his arms down, seemingly signaled not worth it before backing up. Aaron holds himself in pain as the referee checks on him.


The scene cuts backstage to see someone knocking on the door of the Stewards’ locker room. A few moments pass before the door opens and TJ Johnson steps forward and quickly looks up and steps back.

 

TJ: “You!”

 

The camera pans back to show Lexi von Aaron, holding a black bouquet of flowers. She extends it forward. TJ just looks at her.

 

TJ: “Go away.”

 

Lexi thrusts the flowers towards him. TJ looks at them. He notices a card.

 

TJ: “Take them? They’re not poison…or death or something?”

 

Lexi nods at him.

 

TJ takes them and the card.

 

TJ: “I’ll only talk to Katie…Bianca?”

 

TJ looks at her. Katie then steps toward the door.

 

Katie: “What is it TJ? An adoring fan-“

 

She stops.

 

Lexi: “I’m sorry, Katie.”

 

Katie: “Get away-“

 

Lexi: “I was too forward. I should have paid more respect to a Goddess like you.”

 

Katie pauses and steps up.

 

Katie: “Well then…uh…I can go with that.”

 

TJ: “Katie, are you-“

 

Katie: “Shhh! Someone realizes they should respect and fear me!”

 

TJ: “Lexi says she’ll only talk to you.”

 

Lexi: “Bianca…my name is now Bianca. Bianca Evans.”

 

Katie: “Well we’re not all perf…flawl…a Goddess. You better not attack me again. If not…Gigi and Maddy are ready to pounce.

 

Bianca: “No attacking. I have an offer. One suitable for a Goddess.”

 

Katie: “Oh…then come in.”

 

TJ looks uncertain as Bianca steps in. Katie smiles as TJ reluctantly closes the door.

Breakdown returns as we see Aaron Blackbourne walking backstage, clearly annoyed, the SCW Television Championship over his shoulder. He continues down the hallway before he looks up and stops as Scarlet Grey walks up to him.

 

Scarlet: “Aaron…I’m so sorry that the match ended that way.”

 

Aaron: “Scarlet…uh…yeah. Thanks. Just part of this I guess.”

 

Scarlet: “Well if you’d like, I can make…it feel better.”

 

Scarlet leans forward. Aaron backs up.

 

Aaron: “Look Scarlet, I don’t know why you’re suddenly watching me. I noticed you last week, but…I’m taken…thank you though.”

 

Aaron then turns and walks past her. Scarlet pouts a bit and sighs.

 

Scarlet: “Taken…Hmmm…”

 

The scene cuts to the ring.

CHBK vs. Justin Davis

 

The arena goes dark and a mist of smoke begins to gather at the top of the ramp as the opening rift of 'Sail" begins to play throughout the arena. The lights starts to flickers 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. Davis lifts his head as he takes his hood off and the words "JUSTIN DAVIS" shows on the big screen. The crowd begins to cheer. You can see a smile on Davis' face while nodding his head as he begins to make his way down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, 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.

 

Sharper: “Justin Davis getting to the end of his list. Only a few names left and one of them is the man he faces tonight in CHBK.”

 

Knots: “And CHBK isn’t happy and that makes me happy!”

 

“This is How a Heart Breaks” plays throughout the arena and the crowd immediately starts to boos. The music plays for a few moments before we see CHBK walk out from the back with his arms outstretched and pyro shoots out from the sides of the entrance way. He stands at the top of the entrance way and just looks out, still with his arms out and just smiling. He soaks in the boos for a moment before starting to walk down to the ring with his arm in the air.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, representing Dark Fantasy, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Canadian Heartbreak Kid!”

 

The boos continue as CHBK reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then walks along the apron before stepping through the ropes and spinning around as he walks to the middle of the ring. He then stops before dropping down to his knees and just looking out at the crowd as pyro shoots out behind him. He then pulls himself up before walking over to the corner and climbing up to the middle rope. He slides off his entrance attire, throwing it down to the floor before looking out at the crowd. He just smirks before jumping down and walking along the ropes and stretching out a bit.

 

Sharper: “CHBK forced into this. He has a wrestler’s contract.”

 

Knots: “Davis running out of names and this is one of the big ones.”

 

The bell sounds. Davis and CHBK circle the ring a bit before lunging and locking up in the middle of the ring with a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Davis starts to push CHBK back. CHBK looks around as Davis gets him back to the corner. CHBK looks around and yells at the official to get him away. Davis pushes him back. He then slowly starts to pull away.

Backstage we open up to see Marie Jones walking backstage and we see Dillusion on the phone.

 

Dillusion: “Look, I’ll try Xander….don’t yell at me. You know I’m not the one making the calls. I’ll try and get something on tv. We always use local talent. Come next week. We’re in Pittsburgh-“

 

Marie just looks at Dillusion.

 

Dillusion: “Look…I gotta go. But I’ll try. But I don’t know how many favours I can call in here.”

 

Dillusion hangs up and turns.

 

Dillusion: “Marie-“

 

Marie: “You were watching or involved. How’s Dylan Howell?”

 

Dillusion: “Loopy. Probably has a concussion.”

 

Marie: “Great…I was going to challenge him to see if that would get this monkey off my back. I should’ve been the Adrenaline Champion…and….”

 

Dillusion: “You’re good in that ring-“

 

Marie: “I’m sick of hearing that. I’m sick of potential. I am ready to take my spot in this sport. Just…thanks…”

 

Marie turns and walks off. Dillusion watches her leave and shakes his head. He then looks around before turning and pulling out his phone again and dialling a number. He waits a few moments. He then starts to walk off.

 

Dillusion: “Okay, Jerry…you need to put the cat down. This is not the time for feline assassination-“

 

“Immortals” starts to play.

 

Knots: “Marie not happy. But other people may not be happy.”

 

Sharper: “World Tag Team Championship will be on the line, next! Truelove Twins challenge Lohan Country when we return!”

 

The scene fades to black.

The Truelove Twins vs. Lohan Country

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

“Just A Dream” by Nelly plays throughout the arena, a gold spotlight with blue flashers begin to circle the entranceway. London and Paris Truelove walk out holding hands. They look at each other and pose for the cameras before Laura Steinbeck walks out and nods, leading the Twins toward the ring.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, with a twenty minute time limit, and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! First, the challengers, accompanied by Laura Steinbeck, representing Past, Present, Future, they are London and Paris, the Truelove Twins!”

 

The Twins then make their way down the aisle. They both get to the apron at the same time, Paris & London both hold the ropes for Laura as she slowly gets in the ring. London follows.

London then holds the ropes for Paris as she slowly gets in the ring winking in the camera. They both walk to the turnbuckles, climb to the second ropes and pose for the flashes while Laura stands in the middle of the ring and points to the Truelove Twins. They get down and await the match to start as Laura makes her way to the corner.

 

Sharper: “Almost a trend happening. The Truelove Twins demanding their shot at the titles. Abigail and Dawn willing to give it to them.”

 

Knots: “I get being fighting champions, but after what happened to Kennedy Street, this is what they want!”

 

“Mz Hyde” starts to play and a few moments pass before we see Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay walk out from the back with the SCW World Tag Team Championships over their shoulders. The crowd cheers as Abigail smirks and looks around. Dawn just looks down at the ring.

 

Phillips: “And their opponents, they are the reigning and defending SCW World Tag Team Champions…Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay, they are Lohan Country!”

 

Dawn and Abigail turn to one another and give each other a quick fist bump before starting to walk to the ring. The crowd cheers them as they make their way down. London and Paris look on as Laura watches from the corner. Abigail hops onto the apron as Dawn slides in. She gets up. Abigail enters the ring and holds up her World Tag Team Championship belt, even taunting London and Paris a bit. Dawn looks at them before handing off the title to the official. Abigail does the same before the SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen and the official holds the titles over his head. He hands them off.

 

Sharper: “Abigail and Dawn coming in more traditionally. Abigail has been known to come in on that hog of hers, but obviously, not intending to compete tonight.”

 

Knots: “Ready to compete, but not ready for her entrance.”

 

Sharper: “Either way, the Lohans stepping up here and we’ll see whether the Truelove Twins can make it three shows in a row where Past, Present, Future, or affiliates of them walk away with SCW gold.”

 

Knots: “Bree with the US Title; Raynes retained the Adrenaline Title; Sienna with World; AJ didn’t get it done earlier with TV. But maybe Trueloves win the Tag Titles.”

 

The referee checks both sides as the bell sounds. Dawn starts the match off for the champions as Paris exits and London steps in. London and Dawn start to circle and they lunge at one another, locking up in a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Dawn turns into the side headlock. She holds on and London pulls her back into the ropes. She then fires her off and Dawn bounces off and London shoulders her down. Dawn looks up. London runs into the ropes.

Sharper: “Dawn getting the advantage early, but those kicks. Seems like something all of the members of Laura Steinbeck’s clients are good at. Those kicks quickly getting London back.”

 

Knots: “There’s more than a feeling out. They had that at Rise to Greatness. This is about statements on both sides.”

 

London hits another shoot kick and grabs Dawn and snapmares her out of the corner. She then hits a dropkick to the back of her head and goes for the pin.

The crowd boos seeing them. Abigail watches them as Paris turns around and Dawn nails her with a dropkick. Dawn then looks at them too.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute. Dawn takes down Paris, but not before we see the Network making their way to the ring.”

 

Knots: “I thought they had moved on. Looks like it’s a contingency plan!”

 

Abigail looks at Dante as Dante intentionally looks elsewhere. Dawn then turns and grabs Paris and pulls her up and gets Abigail’s attention again. Dawn reaches up and tags in Abigail.

Sharper: “London tagged in. Abigail Lindsay in trouble.”

 

Knots: “What’s the idiot doing here?”

 

Sharper: “Max Kane here. He made it sound like he wasn’t here. But I guess he couldn’t stay away. You see the leg brace, a function of his injury last week, spraining himself in that match against Damian Angel.”

 

Knots: “Laura Steinbeck is not happy. You can hear her huffing and puffing from right here.”

 

Dante heads over to Kane as he makes his way down to the ring. In the ring, London and Paris whip Abigail into the ropes. She bounces off and they hit a double spinning heel kick to the jaw. London goes for the pin.

London kicks out. Just as we see that, we hear a roar as Jack Parker is knocked back by Dawn on the apron, booting him in the face.

 

Sharper: “I don’t know what Jack Parker just did. London Truelove kicked out and maybe Parker tried to keep Dawn from guarding.”

 

Knots: “Or took a cheap shot. But he got blasted!”

 

Dawn turns to the apron and Paris runs over and grabs her and then snapmares her off the apron and down to the mats. Abigail turns and runs over and hits a baseball slide to Paris. Paris falls over as London stirs. Abigail turns as Dante walks over and goes towards Dawn, almost trying to make something happen. Budde hops onto the apron and the referee tells her to get down.

Kane meanwhile can be seen climbing up onto the apron where Dawn and Abigail’s corner as Budde is starting to be told to get down. Laura just looks at Kane, her eyes wide. Kane climbs up as best as he can as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “London Truelove has Abigail Lindsay down to a knee.”

 

Knots: “What the hell is Max Kane doing?!”

 

Sharper: “Is he trying to make sure this gets done for the Truelove Twins?!”

 

Knots: “Budde is trying to stay on the apron. Obviously there was some plan!”

 

London grabs Abigail before Abigail hits a jawbreaker. Budde is forced off the apron. She falls to a knee and Abigail gets up and grabs London and Kane gets to the top, but steps off on his bad leg and just slips, pushing off and landing into London and Abigail as the crowd roars. The referee turns at that point, seeing Kane onto them and rolling over, holding his leg. He then turns and calls for the bell. Laura’s eyes widen again. The bell sounds. The crowd roars. Paris meanwhile sends Dawn stirs with Paris getting up too. Laura walks over to the ring, yelling at Max Kane from the floor. The official, Steve Hollinsworth, goes to the corner to pass his decision to Jason Phillips as Laura turns to him.

 

Laura: “That idiot had nothing to do with us. Nothing!”

 

Hollinsworth: “I don’t care. He’s in the ring. He hit them. This match is thrown out.”

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has decided to throw this match out as a result of interference, making it a no contest. Therefore, still your SCW World Tag Team Champions, Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay, Lohan Country!”

 

The crowd roars as Abigail Lindsay stirs as Dawn rolls into the ring. Dante just leans against the barricade, in disbelief, as Kane rolls over in pain. The referee now going over Kane to help him. Paris goes over to the ring to plead the case to the official.

 

Sharper: “Unbelievable. Max Kane getting involved. I guess he didn’t want to not help out. I don’t know, but he, as a result, has cost the Trueloves.”

 

Knots: “This is a shambles for the Truelove Twins. Max was hurt. The Network had a plan, but again, that idiot needed to be the centre of attention!”

 

Sharper: “Laura Steinbeck upset. Dante McCaffery is beside himself. Kane may have hurt his leg further. And Lohan Country still the World Tag Team Champions!”

 

Abigail turns and grabs the World Tag Team Championship belts from the ring apron. She then moves back as London rolls to the floor. She joins Laura as Laura keeps yelling at Max Kane from ringside. Paris starts to pull her away as Dawn grabs one of the belts from Abigail. The crowd cheers a bit as Paris and London then start to lead Laura away. Dante just looks around before waving off Kane. He starts to leave as Jack Parker looks over at Kane. Budde too. They start to leave with Dante as Kane continues to hold his leg. Abigail and Dawn then go over and wait as the Network and Trueloves leave.

 

Sharper: “Truelove Twins leaving. Getting Laura out of here as there’s a history there with officials. Obviously not wanting to hurt maybe something more. Especially given that Mr. D has been more open to their opportunities.”

 

Knots: “Dante is just leaving Kane right now. He’s pissed off. There was some money on the line here. I’m sure.”

Giovanni Aries vs. Josh Hudson

 

“Judas" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson, wearing a zip up jacket. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, before heading down to the ring.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, representing Past, Present, Future, from New York City, New York, he is Josh Hudson!”

 

He embraces the negative reaction with outstretched arms as he makes his way down the ramp, his body turned sideways as he faces the crowd with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, shouting, "I'm the best at what I do!!!" before turning and sitting against the turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.

 

Sharper: “Josh Hudson, the 2018 Trios Tournament winner, will be in action and tensions running high as Giovanni Aries attacked Selena Frost earlier.”

 

Knots: “Giovanni Aries isn’t all there at the best of times. Hudson may just knock him around though. He doesn’t suffer fools easily. And he’s probably salty from Rise to Greatness still!”

 

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez begins to play as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of stage. He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before Sam walks over and pulls out a cigarette and lighter out of her cleavage and hands it to Giovanni Aries. He lights the cigarette and takes a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring. While walking to the ring he takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Giovanni Aries reaches ring side and looks out to the crowd and yells 

"FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!!!"

He laughs hysterically before walking up the steps to the ring apron.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from the Black Rock Desert, he is Giovanni Aries!”

 

He faces the crowd and hard camera as he throws his arms out making a cross while looking to the sky and slowly moves his left hand to his mouth takes a drag of his cigarette and blowing smoke into the air before flipping backwards into the ring where Sam is waiting. She takes off Giovanni fur jacket as Giovanni Aries grabs her and pulls her tight and proceeds to take another drag before blowing it into her waiting open mouth. Sam smiles as she exits the ring while Giovanni takes a seat on the nearby top turnbuckle and waits for the match to start.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries seems calm right now. He’s been just flipping on a dime as last week attacking the board, then tonight.”

 

Knots: “Looked possessed both times!”

Sharper: “Hard tackle and Giovanni taking shots at Hudson!”

 

Giovanni nails Hudson with a couple of body shots before Hudson grabs at the arm and starts to pull on it. He pulls back, trying to move into a triangle choke.

Giovanni pulls the referee away from the ring and looks at his head.

 

Giovanni: “Now, we’re going to get the Lizard King back out here or I’m going to start popping the heads off of all of his soldiers!”

 

Giovanni squeezes a bit more and the official drops down to his knees, Giovanni holding him up. The crowd cheers as we see Selena Frost running out from the back and nailing Giovanni from behind. Giovanni falls over and down into the apron.

The crowd roars as Selena and Giovanni are down and out in the wiring. The officials promptly scramble with some going back through the curtain and others running over to the stairs on the side.

 

Sharper: “My God! Selena pulled Giovanni with her and the two both off the stage and to the floor!”

 

Knots: “Both down and out!”
