“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

 

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

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

The scene opens up with a wide view of the inside of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the home of SCW, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as we experience the fallout of Rise to Greatness!”

 

The scene remains as the crowd cheers. A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The crowd roars a bit before we see Cassidy Carter walk out form the back. She looks behind her as we then see Ace Marshall walking out with a wrapped up bundle in his arms. He can be seen shushing it as he steps forward. The camera moves up towards him and we see the SCW World Championship in the swaddling clothes as Ace tells the cameraman to back up, mouthing “He’s sleeping!”  

 

Winters: “What the hell is he doing?”

 

Sharper: “Well, I guess he’s treating the World Championship, yes, Ace Marshall is the World Champion after Rise to Greatness, like a baby. And folks, here at ringside, Shawn Winters with me, Adam Sharper. And we’re opening things up with the new World Champion.”

 

Cassidy turns back as Ace keeps walking to the ring. Cassidy starts to mockingly tell the crowd to be quiet as they however continue to make noise, booing with some cheers. Ace Marshall continues on his way to the ring with Cassidy walking over to the ring. She runs up the ropes and then slingshots over the top rope. Ace Marshall looks at her and motions to her. Cassidy rolls her eyes and Ace walks up the steel steps. He then slowly hands the title over to her. Cassidy takes it and rolls her eyes as Ace enters the ring. Ace then turns and Cassidy willingly hands it over. Ace snaps at her for being too rough with the title as Ace then walks over to the middle of the ring. He then motions to Cassidy to get a microphone. Cassidy turns and heads over. The crowd looks on as Cassidy is handed a microphone from Jason Phillips. Cassidy turns back to the middle of the ring as the music fades out. Ace asks her to hold it and Cassidy turns to Ace.

 

Cassidy: “Really? You want me to hold it?”

 

Ace nods.  Cassidy leans the microphone in. Ace goes to speak. Cassidy pulls it back at the last moment.

 

Cassidy: “Hold….it…”

 

Ace just nods.

 

Cassidy: “Yeah, well, you better be good to me as I’m the best damn looking mic stand in this sport.”

 

The crowd roars as Cassidy leans the microphone back in as Ace looks at her.

 

Ace: “But the attitude-“

 

Cassidy pulls it back.

 

Cassidy: “Do you want me to hold IT or not?”

 

Ace sighs. Cassidy brings the microphone back.

 

Ace: “We are warping our child!”

 

Cassidy: “That’s why I’m being vague. I could just starting bringing up pe-“

 

Ace grabs the microphone and brings it back.

 

Ace: “Hey! It may hear you! We have the baby…the most precious thing in all of wrestling.”

 

Ace looks around.

 

Ace: “Everyone be quiet for the World Championship.”

 

Ace holds the wrapped title up as Cassidy rolls her eyes. The crowd roars, making noise. Ace looks around. He then leans in .

 

Ace: “Oh no, it’s crying. Cassidy…whip em out. It’s hungry.”

 

Cassidy looks at Ace as the crowd roars.

 

Ace: “What?”

 

Cassidy: “Not unless you start giving me those bonus cheques to you holding that thing. Then we’ll talk.”

 

Ace fist pumps with his free hand.

 

Sharper: “These two are a real piece of work.”

 

Ace: “Well we can make sure we give this title the nourishment it needs! And don’t worry, you won’t need to be held up on a pedestal. Just keep paying the bills and baby, you’ll be happy here!”

 

Ace looks at the title as he talks to it.

 

“BELIEVE IT!”

 

The crowd roars. Ace turns as Cassidy does too. We then see Selena Frost walk out from the back with a microphone in her hand.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost joining us and you can see by her hair, it’s still blonde. Selena Frost successful against Vixen Cain!”

 

Winters: “SCW is safe from Cain and Wiseman’s Watchman program, but Selena Frost gets the World Championship shot against Ace Marshall here tonight!”

 

Selena has a microphone in her hand as Ace and Cassidy turn to the entrance way. Selena looks down at the ring.

 

Selena: “Seriously?”

 

Ace: “What? This is how you and Kelcey look at it. I may as well give it the respect you both have for it.”

 

Selena just shakes her head as she walks around the stage a bit.

 

Selena: “We have respect for what that championship represents. And I went through hell at Rise to Greatness, with everything Cain wanted, to come here and challenge for it. I’ll admit…I want it to be Kelcey.”

 

Ace: “Hey! I can tell you what that’s like!”

 

Selena just scoffs and nods.

 

Selena: “You know what Ace. I don’t need to say a whole lot. Later tonight, I’ll do my talking in the ring. And last time we met, the only reason I didn’t leave you knocked out or tapping out was because Vixen Cain put my son in danger. Tonight, there’s nothing to distract me. So Ace, I hope you’re ready because I want that back!”

 

The crowd roars as Selena looks at Ace.

 

Ace: “Kidnapping is illegal! Get the cops! Get the cops!”

 

Ace looks around as Selena rolls her eyes. Ace then turns to Selena.

 

Ace: “That’s fine Selena. Because you have your motivations….I have mine…”

 

Ace turns to Cassidy.

 

Ace: “Believe it!”

 

Selena: “Cute…”

 

Selena backs up as “Adrenalize” starts to play again. Ace looks down at the championship and starts to bounce it a bit as Cassidy mockingly starts to play her fingers in front of it. Selena just backs up as she starts to head to the back.

We then cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall needling Kelcey Wallace, Selena Frost and many others who have held that title in high regard.”

 

Winters: “I don’t know how smart that is. He’s defending that title against Selena Frost later tonight. Selena’s right. She doesn’t have to say much. Later tonight, if she wins, she becomes World Champion. She wins that title back.”

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall meanwhile I doubt wants to lose that bonus cheque he gets for being champion. Both Ace and Selena Frost coming off huge wins at Rise to Greatness. We’ll see who has the advantage here. Along with that, plenty to come tonight. A lot to talk. The fallout from Rise to Greatness.’

 

Winters: “Sienna Swann’s manager Laura Steinbeck has already said Sienna wants her rematch. We expect to find out who Merrick Wiseman is going to challenge at Apocalypse. And the F-Ups, they’re the number one contenders to the World Tag Team Championship!”

 

Sharper: “And Mr. D has said he is going to deal with them, with Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster about the BREE-Show and some of the events that happened there. We’ll also hear from Taylor Chase who will have some time to speak to us all.”

 

Winters: “What about some of the mysteries? Donovan Kayl is here. He was assaulted at Rise to Greatness. All after he had a classic in Simon Lyman’s last match. And of course, we need to mention, CHBK helping Syren. He is here tonight. Why? That’s a big question.”

 

Sharper: “We’ll also see a Television Championship Eliminator. Kelcey Wallace is also here. Regan Street is the US Champion. William Hush is the new Adrenaline Champion. So much to get to and Breakdown just kicking off here in Toronto!”

We then suddenly see Lexi von Aaron running up to the announce table, banging on the top of it.

 

Lexi: “Where is he?!”

 

Sharper: “Where is who?”

 

Lexi: “Where is he?! Tell me!”

 

Sharper: “Who? AJ?!”

 

Lexi: “NO! Him!”

 

Winters: “Lexi…we need to know who you’re looking for. If it’s not AJ, who is it?”

 

Lexi just smiles.

 

Lexi: “Someone better!”

 

Lexi then turns and runs off. She hops over the barricade and runs through the crowd. Sharper and Winters just look at one another confused as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We cut backstage where we find Lexy Chapel standing by with a microphone. Behind her is a large potted fern that she stands in front of proudly.

Lexy: “What’s up, guys? After the incredible job yours truly did at Rise to Greatness it seems they’ve gone ahead and given me a microphone again. That’s right, your support has made SCW remember they employ me so… err… yay? Negative side it means I have to do actual work again. Plus side, it means one day this beautiful thing and me might get back in the ring again.”

She turns to the plant, stroking its leaves gently.

Lexy: “That’s right, the plant needs your support! Without The Chapel Show what will become of it? You don’t want an innocent plant to die, do you? So support The Chapel Show, tweet SCW and tell them you want it back, and let the plant live! Oh, yeah, and I guess I’ve got a job to do, so… err…”

She stops stroking the plant, straightens out her top and smiles more professionally.

Lexy: “I have breaking news for you right now. My sources back here have told me exclusively that Merrick Wiseman has been released from his SCW contract. No news on the details of exactly why yet, just that he reported to SCW headquarters earlier today and after a lengthy talk with officials left again and isn’t expected here tonight. Obviously I’ll be trying to find out more, but right now that’s what we’ve got. It does throw up some interesting questions though, like what’s going to happen now regarding that title shot he won?”

Camera Man: “And what about Vixen Cain?”

Lexy: “Hey! Shut up! I… didn’t ask about him. Dammit, where were you ten minutes ago? This seems like a mystery, doesn’t it? Something like a case for SHERLEX—oh, or…”

Lexy suddenly darts off camera. The camera spins and we see her running down the corridor still carrying the microphone as the cameraman gives chase. She turns the corner and temporarily disappears from sight and when the cameraman rounds the corner after her we see her standing with Dean Black. We hear the cameraman panting behind the camera as Lexy begins talking to Dean, only to turn back to the camera mid-way.

Lexy: “Dean! Dean! Lexy Chapel, the Chapel Show, following up on an exclusive bit of breaking news and… dude, are you ok? Seriously, you better not have a heart attack or something, I’m not filming this AND breaking news. I’m just one woman. Anyway, where was I? Right, Lexy Chapel, the Chapel Show, and—“

Black: “I know who you are, Lexy.”

Lexy: “Excellent. That’s good to hear, that’ll save time. Well, my sources told me exclusively earlier tonight that Merrick Wiseman was released from his contract earlier today. Can you confirm that?”

Black: “How did you… who are your sources?”

Lexy: “Incredibly amazing people, with big mouths. Is it true?”

Black: “I didn’t think anyone knew yet but… yes, I believe it’s true.”

Lexy: “What about Wiseman’s title match? What’s going to happen with that?”

Black: “That’s… something that SCW management will probably be dealing with soon. Right now I don’t have any idea. Now if you’ll excuse me…”

He starts to walk off and Lexy grabs his arm to stop him, shoving the microphone back in his face again after asking her next question.

Lexy: “What about Vixen Cain? Is there any news on him, with his close association with Merrick Wiseman?”

Black: “I’m not at liberty to discuss ongoing situations. I’m sorry, I really have to go.”

Lexy: “The world wants to know, Dean. The SCW fans are crying out for answers!”

Black: “And I have a job to do. I’m sorry, I’m needed elsewhere…”

Dean Black brushes Lexy’s hand off him and begins walking away.

Lexy: “Dean? Dean! Don’t make me to go Christina Matsui for answers. She gives me weird looks. And Mr D still hasn’t totally forgiven me for that whole ‘stick up his butt’ thing. Dean? Oh goddamn it!“

She sighs and turns back to the camera.

Lexy: “Well, at least we got it partially confirmed. Don’t worry guys, I’m not giving up tonight until I get more answers! We will get to the bottom of all of this before Breakdown goes off the air. I’m Lexy Chapel, and this has been an exclusive backstage report. Back to you guys at ringside.”

Sophie O’Brian vs. Angelica Jones

SCW Television Championship Eliminator

The bell suddenly sounds with all eyes focusing on the ring where Phillips stands with his microphone in hand and smile on his face.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, has a twenty minute time limit and is an Eliminator where by the winner will face the TV Champion next week!

The fans roar with approval while Phillips smile continues, he looks around the arena and raises the mic once again.

Phillips: “And now, introducing first…”

The lights dim to a crimson red color throughout the arena. A high pitched female voice can be heard over the PA speakers…

"I Lost My Miiiiiiind..."

The image of a red dragon appears on the Tron. The dragon is engulfed in flames as it is replaced by a phoenix. Then that too goes up in flames as it is replaced by an image of Angelica Jones. The Tron shows images of Angelica Jones delivering the Hot Shot to Steve Pinex, Meagan Collins, Glory Braddock, Angela Jameson and the Divine Impact to Dazz, Daystalker, and Cuchulain. Angelica then steps out onto the stage. She is dressed in all black, from head to toe, and that includes a black trenchcoat. Her long hair hangs down to shoulder length.

Phillips: “Hailing from Boston, MA. She is the Golden Goddess…. ANGELICA JONES!!”

She stares menacingly, sadistically down at the ring, pausing before finally beginning to make the long walk to the ring. Once at ringside she takes a sharp turn to the right and the ascends the steel steps, making her way up to the ring apron. She strolls slowly to the center before turning towards the audience. She looks out intensely at the crowd before posing with both arms raised high into the air. Angelica steps into the ring and then steps over to the opposite side of the ring where she poses on the second rope. She then jumps off and heads to the center where the music dies down and the lights come back up. She stands, waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Nothing needs to be said about Angelica Jones, a veteran of this business and has no inclination of slowing things down tonight.”

Winters: “Given who she’s up against, she’ll need to be using all of that veteran knowledge.”

Phhillips: “And her opponent….”

“Hands of the Wicked” begins to play. The lights in the arena fade. A single spotlight shines upon the stage as the tron comes to life and shows images of bloody warfare from all throughout history. The words “Total War” appear on the tron as green pyro begins to go off. Sophie O’Brian then steps out onto the stage side by side with her brother Mark.

Phillips: “She hails from Belfast, Northern Ireland and is being accompanied to the ring by Mark O’Brian…. She is Sophie O’BRIAN!!!”

Sophie’s arms slowly rise so that they are extended outwards from her sides in a crucifix like pose. She soaks up the response from the crowd. Finally, Sophie and Mark begin to make their way towards the ring. Sophie is to the ring area and then climbs up onto the ring apron and then steps into the ring. Mark follows suit. Sophie holds her arms outstretched in another crucifix like pose while staring across the ring at Angelica Jones.

Sharper: “Both look ready for this, both want to add gold to their resume here in SCW.”

Winters: “The greatest company in the world bar none.”

The bell sounds and both women step out of their corners, the two begin to test the other out by feigning a lunge here and there. The SCW fans begin to buzz as they two continue to circle. Sophie is the first to move in for a grapple, but a knee changes everything Angelica was thinking. O’Brian drives an elbow to the back of the neck before running to the ropes and driving a shoulder block into Jones knocking her down to the canvas. Angelica rolls away and is back to her feet while Mark O’Brian cheers on his sister.

Sharper: “Opening salvo goes to Sophie O’Brian, but you just know the Dragon won’t let up or allow that to play too much on her mind.”

Winters: “Which is where her veteran status comes into play, she knows what she’s doing and clearly has a game plan.”

Angelica nods to herself but as she turns to look at Mark O’Brian briefly, Sophie charges across and lifts Angelica up and charges into the corner. Grabbing the middle ropes, she begins to drive her shoulder into the mid-section of Jones over and over again before lifting her up and slamming her down to the canvas. The crowd Ooohs at the impact and buzz with more excitement when the cover occurs.

1…. Kick out by Jones!!

Sharper: “Way to soon, but if you follow Sophie O’Brian on Social media you know she is all about getting into the head of people. Quoting Sun Tzu among other things.”

Winters: “Head or not, that impact is going to knock the wind out of anyone’s sales. There is almost a foot in height difference between these two women, add the twenty pounds of Sophie and that’s going to leave a mark.”

Sophie gets to her feet and drags Angelica to hers before sending her to the ropes with an Irish whip, Jones makes the return and ducks the clothesline attempt from O’Brian only to then leap onto the middle rope and spring board off that towards her opponent and connects with a cross body taking O’Brian down. Jones rolls off and both women get to their feet, Angelica leaping up and connecting with a drop kick that sends Sophie into the corner.

Winters: “Jones getting some semblance of control now.”

Angelica back to her feet and quickly charges towards O’Brian and leaps up to connect with a forearm shot to the temple. She quickly connects afterwards with a chop to the chest which gets a “Woooo” from the fans. She hits another and another before climbing the second rope and begins to hammer down with right hands to the temple of Sophie O’Brian, much to the chagrin of her brother Mark at ringside as the fans count along with her….

1…

2…

3…

Sharper: “Mark is yelling at his sister to get out of this predicament.”

Winters: “That’s easier said than done though Adam, trust me I’ve been in these spots a lot in the past.”

4…

5…

6…

Mark has had enough now and leaps onto the apron near the two women, Angelica however has another idea and grabs him and hits him once with a right hand of her own sending him to the apron and the floor to a roar from the SCW fans.

7...

8… Sophie finally grabs hold of the legs of Angelica and lifts her up off the ropes and spins around forcing her to sit on the top turnbuckle. The SCW fans cheering Angelica on as he hits one final punch…

9…

O’Brian staggers back holding her face but Angelica cannot do anything because Sophie charges back at her and pushes her off the turnbuckle and forces her to fall to the outside hard to “Ooohs” from the crowd which is followed up by boos.

Sharper: “The physicality from Sophie O’Brian right there, she doesn’t care about the wellbeing of Angelica Jones there.”

Angelica holds the back of her head after landing hard outside onto the one-inch mats. Mark begins to skulk around the ring, Sophie tries to exit but that forces the official to focus his attention on her. Angelica starts to climb to her feet and is unaware of Mark O’Brian reading himself, she turns around as the brother of Sophie goes for the clothesline. Jones read it though and ducked under, as he turns around she spins around and hits a wheel kick into his face.

Sharper: “No flies on Angelica Jones, she knew exactly where Mark O’Brian was!”

Winters: “That’s all well and good, but she isn’t in a match against Mark O’Brian, it’s his sister Sophie!”

Speaking of the devil, Sophie grabs Angelica by the hair and starts to pull her onto the apron, the distraction clearly welcomed by her brother. Sophie tries to pull Angelica over the top rope, but the Vet has other ideas. She turns on the apron and hip tosses O’Brian over the top rope and to the outside to a roar from the fans!

Sharper: “If falling off the turnbuckle was leaving a mark, that will too!”

Winters: “She felt that, her face says it all!”

The official looks to count but Angelica turns her attention and yells at him not to count, the look in her eyes screams the Dragon beginning to show its face and the referee just holds out his hands and backs up a little, allowing things to continue as they were for now. Sophie starts to get to her feet holding her back, Angelica rushing across the apron to the opposite side and waits for O’Brian to turn around which she does and in doing so, the Dragon runs back across the apron and kicks Sophie square in the jaw knocking her to the floor!

Winters: “Oh what an IMPACT that was! I think I see some of her teeth go into row z”

Sharper: “I tell you something, Sophie is going to be feeling THAT tomorrow morning.”

The fans roar at the impact as well, even more so as she leaps down off the apron and pulls Sophie to her feet. She tries to get her into the ring but it appears she feels more like dead weight, instead with the hair fully grasped the Dragon runs at the barrier and swings Sophie O’Brian into it with a scream! The fans react with “OOOOOH” as Angelica pulls Sophie to her feet and swings her once again into the barrier for full effect!

Winters: “The Dragon has landed; Game of Thrones eat your heart out!”

Sharper: “The official better get control of this match and quickly before it deteriorates…”

Mark O’Brian moves closer but backs up upon the ref’s interjection now, Angelica sneers as she pulls Sophie to her feet and this time swings her towards the ring, the momentum sending Sophie O’Brian under the bottom rope. Jones follows and covers.

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY O’BRIAN!!!

Winters: “How in the…?!”

Sharper: “I have NO idea, but she’s resilient that one!”

Angelica can’t believe it either, she looks at the official and holds out three fingers but he tells her it was clearly two. Shaking her head, she tells him it was three before mounting Sophie and hammering away with a few solid right hand shots. O’Brian tries to block but to no avail. Jones steps away and looks back to O’Brian and motions for her to get to her feet, she begins to do just that. Outside Mark is slapping the mat which has the Dragon run towards him and hit a baseball slide sending Mark O’Brian flying into the barrier.

Sharper: “The Dragon having enough of Mark O’Brian there!”

Winters: “Can’t blame her, but that is just what Sophie wanted.”

Angelica rolls to her hands and knees and starts to get up but Sophie runs across and connects with a punt to the temple of Angelica’s! The crowd OOOOH’s from the impact which sounded bad as the Dragon looks tamed now as she lays on the canvas unconscious. Sophie wipes away some blood from her lips before looking down and dragging Angelica from the ropes by her hair. The ref tries to interject but is ignored entirely. Sophie confident drops to her knees and rolls Angelica over for a cover.

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY JONES!!

The SCW fans erupt at the sight of Angelica kicking out, Sophie on the other hand yells at the official now herself. Outside Mark is back to his feet a little dazed but the focus is back in the ring instantly with Sophie pulling Angelica to her feet and connecting with a European uppercut. She hits another before an Irish whip sends the Dragon into the corner, a corner the Dragon quickly runs up with her momentum as Sophie charges in unexpectedly. Angelica jones leaps back for a moonsault but catches hold of Sophie and lands on her feet before driving her head first into the canvas with a INVERTED DDT!!!!

Sharper: “FROM THE ASHES!”

Winters: “Jones covers, is that it?!”

1…

2…

3? No!! Sophie kicked out at the very last possible moment!!

The SCW fans can’t believe it, Angelica can’t believe it, even Mark O’Brian can’t believe it and that’s Sophie’s brother! Angelica Jones begins to hold her head in frustration while Sophie holds her head in pain. Not to be outdone, Angelica gets back to her feet and forces Sophie to hers she throws a stiff right hand which connects, Angelica goes for another which this time is blocked to boo’s from the crowd as Sophie fires a shot back. Angelica hits another of hers, this goes on back and forth for a moment.

Sharper: “Neither woman give the other any due quarter here, this has been a battle!”

Winters: “It has, you gotta ask who has it left in the tank to go that extra mile and if you’re Ravyn Taylor right now you probably want them both to kill the other.”

A clothesline attempt is ducked by Angelica who spins around and sends Sophie to the ropes, O’Brian comes back with the return, Angelica attempts to scoop her up but Sophie uses her momentum and hits the ODE TO BRADDOCK driving Angelica into the center of the ring hard!!!

Winters: “WOW, Ode to Braddock that move never ceases to amaze me!”

Sharper: “Tell that to Angelica Jones who is out COLD!”

The fan’s boo loudly as Sophie O’Brian gathers her composure before laying on top of Angelica Jones for the cover.

1…

2….

3!!!

The bell sounds much to the disgust of the SCW fans who begin to boo loudly, Hands of the Wicked hit’s over the P.A System as Mark O’Brian slides into the ring and helps his sister to her feet.

Phillips: “The winner of this match as a result of a pinfall, SOPHIE O’BRIAN!!!”

The crowd boo louder than before as the brother and sister tandem exit the ring all smiles, Sophie feeling certainly sore after that war with the Dragon in the ring who is now sat up and holding her head. The look of frustration is evident on her face as she can only watch another chance at a title slip through her fingers while the official checks on her.

Sharper: “Wow what a match, if you’re Ravyn Taylor I would be taking notes, lots of notes.”

Winters: “No doubt she has done, she isn’t a double champion for nothing. But that match was something else and we’re only just begun tonight, what else is going to happen?!”

Breakdown cuts backstage and we see Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason in their locker room. Bree appears to be in her gear already, as she is seen in her white silk robe. Blake has his ring tights on with a plain black t-shirt. Bree is pouting with her arms crossed. We see Scott Burnside in the background, on his phone.

Bree: “I can't believe we actually have to face these guys. We are better than this, B!”

Blake: “We are. I'm guessing this is part of payback for the Bree-show. Let's just get this over with, without much complaint, and we can move on to more important things.”

Bree: “Like getting our shoulders draped with some gold?”

Blake: “Precisely.”

Bree grins, and Blake gives her a quick kiss just as there is a knock on the door.

Bree: “Yes?”

The door opens and Imogen Reed walks in, dressed in a tight red pleather skirt with a white t-shirt bearing a red skull, and 'artfully' shredded hems on the bottom and sleeves. Also, in her hand is a messy glob of what used to be a white shirt. Bree takes a step backwards, and waves her hand in the air.

Bree: “My God, Genny, what is that smell?”

Imogen: “Oh... sorry. It's this. Oh good, Scott's here. Scotty!”

Scott ends his call and looks over at Imogen, and immediately frowns at the ball of white fabric.

Imogen: “I wanted to give this back to you. I tried to clean it. A few times. But apparently Manvel oil is forever.”

Imogen hands the shirt over, and Scott eyes it, and shakes his head.

Scott: “I can't do anything with that, Immy. You should probably burn it.”

Imogen: Are you sure?

Bree: “I vote for burning.”

Blake nudges Bree's arm.

Blake: “I vote for you doing what you we talked about earlier, Bree.”

Bree looks at Blake, a little glare suggesting him to be quiet. Imogen looks at Bree.

Imogen: “Do what, babe?”

Blake: “Bree. You know it's necessary.”

Bree sighs, and turns to Imogen, then grabs her hand, the one not full of oily fabric.

Bree: “Listen. Babe. Genny. You know I heart you, right?”

Imogen nods, although a little skeptically.

Bree: “And ever since you came here and I sort of took you under my wing, to teach you, you know that everything I've said and asked you do to has been to help you. Right?”

Imogen: “Of course, Breezy. You wanted me to be just as fabulous and classy as you are. And I'm trying babe, I really am!”

Bree: “That's the thing though. You're... well, you. And that's a great thing. And just recently it occurred to me that in some cases... well, especially your case, there isn't any way to create class. That just isn't who you are.”

Imogen: “Bree-“

Bree: “And that's totes okay! It was wrong of me to try to change you. So from now on... you be you, okay? I won't try to make you wear things you don't want, I won't try to clean up your language... and you just do me a favor in return by keeping clear of our feuds, and, well... business in general.”

Imogen pulls her hand away from Bree, with a small frown.

Imogen: “You don't want me around you anymore?”

Bree: “That's not it at all babe! I just don't want to get in the way of you being who are. And we don't want to get you caught up in issues that don't really concern you. You have your thing with Beard, you have your own career to focus on. We're probably hindering you with all of our... situations. I heart you, okay? That's why I think it's best this way.”

Imogen: “Oh. Sort of a... 'if you love something, set it free' thing?”

Bree nods, grinning. Blake rolls his eyes again but Imogen doesn't see.

Imogen: “Well... okay. You stay classy and I'll stay trashy!”

Bree: “Exactly, babe! Still friends?”

Imogen: “Of course, babe!”

The women smile and Imogen goes for a hug, but Bree backs away, because of the fabric blob still in Imogen's hand. She look down at it and frowns.

Imogen: “Oh, right. I'll just go toss this. I'm really sorry, Scotty...”

Scott: “Oh its fine... just an original, no big deal... I'm sure it will burn just fine with all the oil... Actually, on second thought. Give it here.”

Scott holds his hand out, and Bree cringes. Imogen looks at the oily balled up shirt in her hand, shrugs, and hands it over. Scott takes it, making a face at the texture.

Scott: “Thanks. I'll... uh... see if there's anything I can do with this, after all.”

Scott turns and leaves, going further into the locker room.

Imogen: “I think we know what he's gonna go do with that, right?”

Bree: “I am not contemplating that. If you don't mind now, we do have a match to get ready for. As you know.”

Imogen: “Sure do! And I have a match to prepare Beardy for. Maybe I'll see you out there.”

Blake: “Maybe. Goodbye, Imogen.”

Imogen gives them a little smile before leaving. Blake shuts the door behind her then turns to Bree.

Blake: “That wasn't so bad, was it?”

Bree: “No, she took it well.”

Blake: “Making it sound as if it was about her was a nice touch. “

Bree: “Well it kinda was. A little bit.”

Blake: “Only a little. The rest was ridding us of an unneeded distraction, and you did it graciously. Beautiful and smart, you are the complete package.”

Bree: “No, WE are. That's why lesser people envy us.”

We return to Breakdown to see Spirit Dansby standing backstage at the SCW interview area.

 

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Please welcome at this time, the SCW World Tag Team Champion, AJ Helms.”

 

The crowd cheers as Helms walks into view, holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. He smiles a bit as Spirit turns to him.

 

Spirit: “It was an eventful Rise to Greatness weekend, but despite some hiccups, you did walk out of it victorious over Lexi von Aaron and ending, we hope, that situation and still holding the World Tag Team Championship.”

 

Helms: “That second part was a bit more troublesome thanks to the efforts of Blake Mason, Bree Lancaster, Lexi von Aaron and the F-Ups. But I have to say, I’m glad that the boss realized the sham that took place and returned the title to me. At the same time, The F-Ups proved they’re more dangerous than we give them credit for and come Apocalypse, I get a second shot at a little bit of revenge. They wanted to steal this title from me and after the last couple of months, I get to have it a bit more on my terms. I get to face the F-Ups with a partner I want to work with. No disrespect to Torsten. I know he doesn’t care for the F-Ups and he showed that he could be counted on. I was surprised by that, but I’m glad that he showed his integrity. But now…this is fully my fight and if I have my terms, we can make sure the F-Ups realize that if they want to be Tag Champs, they have to do it the right way.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit.

 

Spirit: “Any idea of who you’re going to pick to stand alongside you as your co-Tag Champion.”

 

Helms: “That….Oh I know the answer, but there are some other surprises as we head to Apocalypse involving the F-Ups….I think I’ll sit back and enjoy the ride tonight as I’ve not had much to enjoy in the last couple of months.”

 

Spirit: “Thank you for your time. And congratulations, both on the title, but also your bundle of joy”

 

Helms nods and smiles.

 

Helms: “Thanks.”

 

Spirit: “Back to ringside.”

 

We cut away.

“Criticize” by Adelita’s Way starts to play. The crowd erupts in cheers as the spotlights turn to the stage. We then see Kennedy Street walking out, dressed in a white blouse and slacks. She looks around and poses on the stage for a moment. She then starts to make her way down the rampway to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street not only defeated Thirteen at Rise to Greatness, but she also made sure Ethan von Aaron got what he deserved. Kennedy Street caught him with the Touch of Class, but then Thirteen choked him out.”

 

Winters: “Ethan von Aaron was out. He was completely out and Kennedy, she didn’t try to save Ethan. She just walked away. That chapter closed!”

 

Sharper: “The Ethan von Aaron chapter has closed but Thirteen has asked Kennedy Street to speak to him tonight. Kennedy Street isn’t waiting for Thirteen it seems. Instead, she’s coming out to join us!”

 

Kennedy Street walks down to the ring. She then walks up the steel steps and then walks along the apron. She steps through the ropes and then walks over to the middle of the ring before stopping and looking around the arena. She then turns and walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone. Jason Phillips walks over and hands her the microphone. Kennedy takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring. Her music fades out.

 

Kennedy: “First off, before I say anything…Ethan…if I gave you a send off you damn sure didn’t deserve and if I ever see you in an SCW arena again, I will make sure you won’t remember this company’s initials!”

 

The crowd cheers as Kennedy looks around.

 

Kennedy: “It is over. And I am moving on to bigger and better things WITHOUT you!”

 

The crowd cheers. Kennedy smiles as she also looks a bit relieved.

 

Kennedy: “But there is one hold over from Rise to Greatness. I beat Thirteen, Ethan’s hand picked man to try and convince me I was wrong. But tonight, Thirteen wants some of my time. Well, Thirteen, despite Jonny telling me this is a mistake. Despite part of me feeling this is a mistake, you did one thing that showed there may be something worthwhile in you when you choked out that son of a bitch in front of the world. So Thirteen…you want me, this is it. Because I am looking forward after I leave this ring. You want my time? This is the last time you will get it!”

 

The crowd roars as Kennedy turns to the entrance way.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street, showing her confidence, but also making it clear, she is moving on. Rise to Greatness was the closing a very significant chapter of her career.”

 

Winters: “Thirteen better move his ass then!”

 

Kennedy continues to look at the entrance way. She looks around a bit before then bringing the microphone back up to her mouth.

 

Kennedy: “I’m not waiting long-“

 

The lights in the arena go out, prompting a small surprised pop from the fans. After a few moments, the heavy beats of "The Vengeful One" by Disturbed kick in as deep purple lighting and smoke begin to engulf the stage. On the tron we see a series of clips playing that can best be summarized as a depiction of chaos playing out in the world, all of them having a figure in a tattered black hooded cloak adorned with chains conveniently walking through them. We then see Thirteen walking out from the back. He has an envelope in his hand. He looks down at the ring as Kennedy backs up a bit. Thirteen then starts to walk to the ring, avoiding his usual theatrics and instead focusing on Kennedy. Kennedy doesn’t take her eyes off of him.

 

Sharper: “Thirteen not making her wait too long.”

 

Winters: “He has something in his hand.”

 

Sharper: “It looks like an envelope of some sort.”

 

Thirteen walks over to the ring and hops onto the apron. Kennedy keeps watching him as Thirteen then enters the ring. He puts a hand up. Kennedy keeps looking at him and Thirteen then asks for the microphone. Kennedy then hesitantly extends it to Thirteen. Thirteen takes it and Kennedy steps back a bit. Thirteen’s music fades out.

 

Thirteen: “Kennedy…I understand you have no reason to trust me when I say this, but I am here for completely peaceful reasons.”

 

Kennedy looks at Thirteen.

 

Thirteen: “Obviously that may be difficult to you to believe given that I was being paid by that wretch Ethan to hurt you. And for that, I’m sorry. But as I mentioned months ago, things are not as they seem.”

 

Kennedy looks a bit confused.

 

Thirteen: “Yes, I was being paid by Ethan to hurt you and take you out. But I wasn’t agreeing to do it simply because of money. I wanted to make sure you weren’t the same person you were years ago.”

 

Kennedy just can be seen mouthing “What?”

 

Thirteen: “See, Kennedy. I’ve watched SCW while I’ve been away and while others claimed to be the judge and jury of SCW…I’ve realized that I always represented something different in SCW. And when I returned at Taking Hold of the Flame, it was to get a lay of the land. Ethan then talked to me and I realized you were the….flawless…example of what I could hate. Someone who couldn’t see themselves in the mirror and be honest with themselves. I heard the talk about redemption and you were wrestling in that ring, but when Ethan talked to me, he talked to me with such hope that you’d see the proverbial light and return to him as it was easier. You failed him….but you passed my test.”

 

Kennedy can be seen mouthing “Eff you.”

 

Thirteen: “And I deserve that….I choked you out and I know in particular that’s a feeling that your family takes great prejudice against. And in the process, you didn’t run, you didn’t make excuses. You fought. And I’m honoured to share the ring with you. But more importantly, I’m willing to repay you for the transgressions I did. So…”

 

Thirteen then extends the envelope he had in his hand and hands it to Kennedy. Kennedy takes it and looks at it.

 

Thirteen: “You don’t need to open it now. But inside is a cheque. It’s a cheque for the exact amount Ethan paid me. I don’t need the money. But you’ve earned something for what you’ve become. Do with it what you will. And I hope the next time we face….it’s for a championship of some kind. I would be honoured.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit as Thirteen then extends the microphone. Kennedy takes it and looks at it before then looking at the envelope. Thirteen turns and steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Thirteen then turns and walks to the back. He doesn’t look back to the ring as Kennedy just looks at the envelope still a bit surprised.

 

Sharper: “Thirteen was right. It’s not what it seemed. He was testing Kennedy to make sure she had actually changed her ways.”

 

Winters: “The tactics certainly tested her. But Kennedy Street is stunned. I am too. Thirteen was not one in the past to ever care about that. Perhaps he’s changed too!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Kennedy Street has Thirteen’s respect. I don’t know if its mutual, but what’s in her hand, it may have made everything worth it. I don’t know. Meanwhile, Thirteen, much like Kennedy left and didn’t look back at Rise to Greatness, he is doing the same tonight to Kennedy. He’s done with her…test passed…”

 

Kennedy just looks at the envelope still as Thirteen steps through the curtain and to the back. The crowd cheers a bit as we then cut away.

We open up backstage to see Ace Marshall with Cassidy Carter walking backstage.

 

Cassidy: “Look, I just want to make sure I have the money for it-”

 

Ace is still cradling the title like a baby.

 

Cassidy: “Would you stop doing that?!”

 

Ace: “What? It’s the precious. I’m supposed to treat it like so.”

 

Cassidy then grabs the title and pulls it out. Ace yells out and grabs at it.”

 

Cassidy: “It’s the World Title. It’s our ticket to keeping the high-life…and pissing off a lot of people.”

 

Ace: “This is true. I can’t deny that-“

 

???: “Ace…”

 

Ace and Cassidy turn as Katelyn Buehler walks over. The crowd erupts in cheers.

 

Ace: “Katelyn…”

 

Cassidy: “Yeah, I’m out.”

 

Cassidy just walks off, still holding the World Title. Ace turns and watches her leave. Katelyn just looks at Ace.

 

Katelyn: “I was wondering if I’d run into you.”

 

Ace: “Well, here I am. And uh…well….I-“

 

Katelyn: “Good luck against Selena.”

 

Ace: “Oh….thanks!”

 

Katelyn: “You’re World Champion. Figured you could do it.”

 

Katelyn seems a bit distant, almost forcing the words out.”

 

Ace: “Absolutely. Also took out perfection. Does that make me better than Perfect…hmmm…Well, I’ll-“

 

Katelyn: “I know you actually do care about the title. No matter what you say. Remember, I know you better than most. Well…I thought I did. Either way, good luck. I’m just here to talk to the boss.”

 

Ace: “Uh, thanks?”

 

Katelyn just walks past as Ace just shrugs and then turns off camera.

 

Ace: “Hey Cass! Don’t breast-feed it without me there first!”

 

Ace heads off camera as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

“Knights of Cydonia” by Muse hits and the fans react as they choose to in preparation to see the new SCW Adrenaline Champion grace their presence. Most of them cheer, but since this arena was the home of the Volatile Wrestling Alliance, where Hush committed his most heinous acts, many in the crowd who are aware of his past still refuse to believe he’s changed since his less scrupulous days. Hush walks out from behind the curtain, dressed in a plaid shirt, unbuttoned, with a Kid A-era Radiohead T-shirt on underneath, partially ripped denim jeans and comfortable, well-worn black sneakers. He is not dressed to wrestle whatsoever, but he wears the Adrenaline Championship around his waist, gleefully showing it off to the crowd who mostly cheer in response.

Sharper: We have William Hush joining us in the ring right now. As we all saw at Rise to Greatness, Hush finally defeated his long-time rival, Amy Chastaine to win her Adrenaline Championship and now here he is, just starting his Championship reign here in SCW!

Winters: He’s in street clothes, so I think it’s safe to assume he has an announcement to make rather than an impromptu match to wrestle. Maybe he’s here to offer Amy a rematch?

Sharper: If Hush really is the new man he claims he is, I would say that’s likely. I’d certainly be ready to watch another bout between the two.

Hush strolls down the ramp, slapping hands with as many fans as he can get close to before walking up the ring steps and climbing in the ring between the top and second ropes. He unbuttons the Adrenaline Championship from his back and hoists it up in the air to a rapturous noise, a cacophony of cheers and boos. He slings the belt across his shoulder and gestures to the ring announcer for a microphone, deciding that he should really do it himself for the one time only.

Hush: Ladies and Gentlemen. Weighing in at two hundred and twenty one pounds, from Edinburgh, Scotland but residing in Salt Lake City, Utah, I am William Hush!

More noise. This atmosphere is weird.

Hush: “Many of you have known me from my stints in other companies. Very few people in SCW have had the chance to see who I am and what I do, what I’m capable of and how hard I work to fight in every match I’m booked in. But after Rise to Greatness, I’d like to think I’ve proved to you all, even those I’m meeting for the first time, how tenacious and battle ready I can be. Amy Chastaine is no easy pushover, something I know very, very well, but this Title proves that, for the first time since our first meeting back in 2006, that I can beat her and I can do it fair and square.”

The reaction becomes a little more mixed rather than positive.

Hush: “Amy and I go back a very long way. We were in HVW together, VWA together and now SCW together. Our first match was a World title match in 2006. She won. We fought one on one once more in VWA. It was a draw. We were the last two in a 7th Circle of Hell match. She won. We fought in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell match. She won. I mean, I’ve eliminated her in the middle of other multi-person matches, but when the victory has ended the match, she has either beaten me, or I have failed to beat her. I have come up with excuse after excuse after excuse for this over the years, but the truth is very simple. She was just a better wrestler than me in those matches. She’s arguably still a better wrestler than me now. But for those fifteen or twenty minutes we went at it at Rise to Greatness, I finally ended my eleven year dry streak and defeated my greatest rival to win this beautiful Title belt!”

Hush hoists the Title above his head with great and true pride but when he brings it down again, he looks at it forlornly and his smile fades into a more serious expression.

Hush: “This next bit I need to say, I really feel like Amy should hear this from me face to face, so Amy... if you would please come out to the ring?”

Hush looks towards the entranceway hopefully. A few seconds pass and the crowd murmurs, wondering if Amy would answer Hush's request.

“Tear me down, it won't build you up.”

Blue and white lights flash in time with the music, and Amy Chastaine comes out from the back, in black jeans, a navy blue shimmery halter top, and matching heels. The crowd cheers as she makes her way down the ramp, not paying attention to the fans as she usually does, instead keeping her eyes on Hush, nearly expressionless.

Sharper: “An odd sight this year, Amy Chastaine without a title belt.”

Winters: “She has to be thinking immediate rematch, right? This guy has been her arch nemesis for a decade.”

Amy goes around to the timekeeper and is handed a mic before she goes up the ring steps. Her music fades as she enters the ring and faces Hush, the mic at her side.

Hush: “Thank you, I wasn't sure if you'd want to speak to me.”

Amy: “I'm actually glad you asked me out here, William. I know you said you wanted me to hear something face to face, but I actually have something I wanted to say to you face to face, first, if you don't mind.”

Hush seems hesitant, but then nods.

Amy: “Well, it's really two things. Firstly... congratulations.”

The crowd cheers, the fans in the front row's faces showing some surprise. Hush nods and we see him say “thank you.”

Amy: “I won't pretend I wasn't disappointed in Phoenix. I worked very hard to earn that championship, and it means- meant, a lot to me. I fought and won eight matches over three months to get the title match, before defeating Christy Matthews. That in itself was an accomplishment because she was the person I couldn't beat for it last year. Being able to do that, winning nine straight matches... that was my atonement for failing the tournament last year. But... at Rise to Greatness, you accomplished a goal you've had for nine YEARS. Sorry... eleven. If I didn't know anything else about you, if we didn't have the history we do, just that would tell me that it's something that means a lot to you, because of what you had to do to get it, and that you'll carry and defend it with honor.”

More applause. Amy grins, and Hush nods, although he isn't grinning.

Amy: “In five days it'll be a year since we fought a Hell in a Cell match in this very building, at the last VWA show, over the VWA World Championship. So, I think it's fitting that we're here tonight. This started with you coming back around, talking to people, trying to do what you could to make up for your mistakes, for the wrongs you did to people. Well, there's no one in this business you did more wrong to than me. Except maybe Heath Lancaster, but sadly he isn't here... although I think if he was, he'd be proud of you.”

Hush finally grins the smallest bit. Off mic, we see him say “you think so?” Amy nods yes. More applauding, but just a second or two, as its clear Amy isn't quite done.

Amy: “I remember saying in my promo video that I didn't know if I could ever offer you that forgiveness that you were looking for, and to ask me on Monday morning after Rise to Greatness. I still couldn't have answered that day, but it’s three weeks gone now, and that's a lot of time to reflect. About the match, the way you fought me clean – well, mostly, I really thought I was getting a chair to the face for a second or two. But you didn't do that. You beat me fairly, you earned that championship. So, that brings me to the second thing I wanted to say to you, face to face. You said that was all you really wanted, was to atone for your mistakes, earn forgiveness. Before our match I said that I let go of being angry at you anymore, because it didn't serve a purpose. I asked myself, is going the rest of the way, letting go completely and actually forgiving you, is it that much bigger of a step? If that's all you truly wanted, not another bloody and brutal match, not another few months of bickering and fighting over things that don't matter anymore, but just my forgiveness?”

Amy steps forward and puts her hand out.

Amy: “You have it.”

Hush looks at Amy in surprise. She nods a little, her hand still out. Hush looks at it a second, then accepts it. They both grin, Hush a little emotional.

Hush: “Thank you, Amy. That really means everything to me... especially now. I'm sorry, I-“

Amy: “Stop apologizing. You don't have to do that anymore. It's done.”

Hush lets Amy's hand go, and steps back, resting his hand on the belt.

Hush: “No, I do. That's why I called you out here. You probably deserve a rematch but unfortunately I can't do that.”

Amy's eyes narrow and she takes a step back, as if rebuffed. The crowd gasp, and some start to boo.

Hush: “I wish I could. I really do. The feeling I got in front of a crowd again, fighting with everything I had, I love that. And the accomplishment of finally being able to overcome you just once, I will always have that. But for all the pride in the world and all the joy I felt when I heard my music play at the end of the match, I also had fear.”

Hush turns to address the crowd now, as this message isn't just for Amy but for everyone.

Hush: “Fear, because something happened towards the end of the match that I couldn’t reverse. Put simply, I felt something in my neck when I landed the second Silencer and then my upper body started to go numb. Ironically, adrenaline took over and I scored the pinfall, but I knew I’d done something bad to myself. For all the cages I’ve fallen off and all the bleeding I’ve done through the years, it was sitting down too quickly that hurt me. What are the chances of that? I didn’t mean any disrespect to this belt when I tried to give it back to Amy after the match. It’s not that I didn’t want it. It’s not that I felt she deserved it more after our battle. It’s because I knew, even without the doctors’ diagnosis afterwards, that I wouldn’t be able to keep it.”

Hush pauses, and the reaction is silence. Amy's confusion turns to concern.

Hush: “So, I went to a doctor after the match. I had various scans and tests and it turns out the thing I felt in my neck was a by-product of an undiagnosed condition called Cervical Canal Stenosis. I won’t go into the boring medicinal background of it, but long story short, it’s a bone disease which causes weakness in my spine. If I keep on wrestling then I’ll get weaker or, worse, paralyze myself. In fact, I was lucky to get through the match at Rise to Greatness at all. Needless to say, the doctors have told me that I cannot wrestle again and…”

Hush starts crying. He tries to compose himself and sucks in a huge gulp of air. Amy has her arms folded as she listens, her concern growing. For a room with tens of thousands of people in it, it’s remarkably quiet. Hush finally gets a grip on himself and continues.

Hush: “I’m sorry. I didn’t want you all to see me like that, but I have to be honest and address you all. The least I owe you is an explanation. For most of the last year I have tried to find redemption for all the horrific things I did to people both in and out of wrestling. I’ve been forgiven by some, and ignored by others, but at least I’ve managed to reach out to everyone I can. I’m not going to change that. I’m going to dedicate the rest of my life to helping people find their peace. How I’m going to do that I don’t know yet, but with this latest bombshell dropped upon me from a great height, I cannot do it as a wrestler for SCW or anywhere ever again. So I thank you all for watching me battle Amy at Rise to Greatness. I thank you all for reacting, whether you’re cheering or booing me, and to those who have watched me in my other companies, I thank you all for being by my side for the last eleven years. Everything I’ve done, in truth, even the bad stuff, deep down I’ve done for you. I’ve done it to entertain and to shock, but I’ve done it for every single person who buys tickets and renews their cable subscriptions at home.”

A couple of whoops and cheers break the silence, but most of the crowd continue to listen quietly.

Hush: “If any of you watched one of my promotional videos that ran on pay per view before the show, they’ll remember that I deleted my win-loss record and my title history because I was so desperate to just start again. All the official books will still show me there, but as far as I’m concerned, this Adrenaline Championship is my first and last Title. That doesn’t mean that I don’t respect every opponent I’ve had or the titles I took from them because they all have meaning. They’re all still part of my history because looking at your history is how you learn in your future. All that did was force me to start again, totally fresh and new with a new outlook on my career, freed from the greed and power lust I had before. Broken from those shackles which made me such a terrible person. The flip side of this now is that technically I’m retiring from the business with a 1-0 record. I guess technically I’m undefeated!”

Hush cracks a smile under the now pouring tears. He turns to Amy to address her.

Hush: “I’ve thanked every fan and opponent, but I also need to thank you, Amy, for giving me a final match that I think both of us can be proud of. Deep down you always wanted to end my career, I think. After what I did to you and your company, you've always wanted to see the back of me. I think I know you well enough to think that since it was a match with you that ended my career, you may be feeling a little guilty. I want her to know that I don’t blame you. I don’t find you responsible. The reality is that this diagnosis was for a condition I already had but didn’t know about. It could have been anyone, whoever I faced next. So don't blame yourself, okay?|

Amy just nods, too in shock to speak. The crowd remains quiet.

Hush: “As for what that means for the Adrenaline Championship, as Mr. D already knows and we’ve talked about, obviously it'll have to be vacated. If it were up to me I would just hand it back over to Amy and be done, but I don't think she would accept that. Right Amy?”

Amy shakes her head, no.

Hush: “That's what I thought, you've never wanted anything just handed to you. So... consider this officially vacant now.”

Hush removes the belt from his shoulder, and holds it at his side. Amy shakes her head, and finally has something to say.

Amy: “You're not totally wrong. at one time there wasn't much more I wanted than to see you out of this business. But not like this. I'm truly sorry this had to end this way.”

Hush: “Believe me, you’re not the only one.”

Hush turns to face the crowd. He then glances down at the belt and folds the straps behind the impressive plated front. He kneels down to place it carefully in the middle of the ring before getting back up again. He raises the microphone to his mouth one more time but is interrupted by the previously silent crowd building a “Thank you Hush!” chant. Many of them went to VWA shows in this arena so they know how much work he put into his career and now know him to be totally genuine. He wells up one more time but forces himself to not break down in front of everyone again. He eventually manages to deliver the sentence which ends his career, which forces him into an unplanned and unwanted retirement.

Hush: “So one last time…thank you. Thank you all. But after eleven long years…”

One more pause as he continues to struggle against his own emotions. Just two more words to deliver. Two more words. He turns back to Amy who looks on with empathy.

Hush: “Silence falls.”

Hush drops the mic and Amy approaches him. She says something nobody can make out before the long-time rivals shake hands again as “Knights of Cydonia” plays. Hush looks down with obvious regret at the belt down in the middle of the ring, then exits. Amy looks back at the belt a second or two, then follows Hush out and they walk up the ramp side by side, talking a bit as Breakdown cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

We abruptly cut backstage to see Leviticus smiling.

 

Leviticus: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here, the Emperor of Entrepreneurship, the Media Mogul, the Supreme Salesman, the Man of a Thousand Nicknames and SCW’s Marketing Director, Leviticus! And I am here with some FRESH, NEW products, just for you for the SCW at home experience.”

 

Leviticus then smiles.

 

Leviticus: “Have you ever wanted to own your own SCW superstar? Well while other companies have their action figures and Bedlam Buddies, here at SCW, we have a new experience that is good for all of you. That’s right, the Ace Marshall SCW Championship edition Inflatable Buddy!”

 

Leviticus then turns and grabs it off screen, holding an inflatable human-esque piece of plaster with Ace Marshall’s face for a head and notably, the place to blow air is in a rather suggestive position and figuring prominently.

 

Leviticus: “Ladies….Gentlemen, if you’ve ever had a desire to make Ace Marshall as loyal as ever and never leave your side, well you can have him specially as the SCW stores. But that’s not all. Right now, the Championship edition? It comes with some special items including…”

 

Leviticus then throws that inflatable person off camera before grabbing another, showing it wearing Cassidy Carter’s wrestling attire.

 

Leviticus: “It comes with Cassidy Carter’s ring attire. It may or may not have been worn by Ace himself, but your Ace buddy could wear it ALL the time! Order now!”

 

Leviticus smiles as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown returns to the ringside to see the SCW Adrenaline Championship still in the middle of the ring. We then cut to the SCW announce table to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters.

 

Sharper: “Moments ago, a heart-wrenching moment as William Hush vacated the SCW Adrenaline Championship. After the match, getting a medical check-up and well, in one sense, he can state he ended his career beating his greatest rival.”

 

Winters: “Still, compared to Simon Lyman, who was able to walk out of that ring on his own terms and call it a day.”

 

Sharper: “And the Adrenaline Championship still lying in the middle of the ring…”

 

We then cut to the entrance way to see Mr. D halfway down and walking down to the ring. He walks over to the steel steps and walks up them and into the ring.

 

Sharper: “And the boss joining us. Hush referencing that he knew that was happening. And we have seen some officials gathering around backstage, some members of the SCW Board of Directors here as well and there were a number of meetings earlier today. I suppose the SCW Adrenaline Championship situation was one of them.”

 

Mr. D walks over to the SCW Adrenaline Championship. He then looks at it before bending over and lifting it up. He then holds it in his hand as he then picks up the microphone Hush dropped and lifts it up too. He then looks around as the crowd buzzes a bit.

 

Mr. D: “Obviously, the stunning announcement that William Hush has unfortunately been forced to call it a career….first off, SCW wishes him only the best. My personal interactions with him have been nothing but positive.”

 

Mr. D pauses briefly.

 

Mr. D: “But as he alluded to, he had let me know earlier this week and today, I, among other SCW officials, have been determining the best course of action going forward as Hush has been forced to vacate the SCW Adrenaline Championship.”

 

The crowd boos a bit.

 

Mr. D: “As a result of a need to crown a new champion, I am now out here to take possession of this belt, but also to announce that starting next week on this program, we will take eight stars who would do the Adrenaline Division proud to hold this title. Next week, they will compete with the quarterfinals and the semifinals taking place then and the finals taking place at Apocalypse!”

 

The crowd roars in response.

 

Sharper: “A new champion! And a tournament beginning next week!”

 

Winters: “That sounds fair. Who’s in it?!”

 

Mr. D: “So at this time, allow me to announce the eight individuals as determined by myself…and the Board of Directors….who will be competing.”

 

Mr. D looks around, a bit hesitant at first before then starting to speak.

 

Mr. D: “For the Adrenaline Championship Tournament….Bree Lancaster!”

 

Sharper: “Wow…that one stands out already.”

 

Mr. D: “Tina Valentine!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Mr. D: “Marie Jones!”

 

More cheers.

 

Mr. D: “Giovanni Aries.”

 

A mixed reaction.

 

Mr. D: “Alexis Quinne!”

 

Cheers come from the crowd.

 

Mr. D: “Autumn Valentine!”

 

Boos resound throughout the arena.

 

Mr. D: “Gable Winchester!”

 

Cheers come from the crowd.

 

Mr. D: “And finally, former Adrenaline Champion, Jay Gold!”

 

The crowd erupts in cheers as Mr. D looks around.

 

Mr. D: “There are your eight competitors. Next week, the clash for a chance at the Adrenaline Championship!”

 

Mr. D then turns and hands off the microphone.

 

Sharper: “Some notable names mentioned. Jay Gold, Autumn Valentine, Alexis Quinne…”

 

Winters: “Bree Lancaster. He said he was going to punish them. That’s a reward.”

 

Sharper: “But what about some not in there. Christy Matthews, former Adrenaline Champion. Amy Chastaine not in there.”

 

Winters: “That one I don’t get. But there has to be something more there.”

 

Mr. D exits the ring. He then starts to head to the back. The camera follows him for a bit before we cut away.

We then open up backstage as we see Sam Raine and Marie Jones talking backstage. The crowd cheers as they see their hometown star along with the Phoenix of SCW.

 

Sam: “It’s just weird. The kid was here and gone. Starting to actually get to like him.”

 

Marie: “Yeah….I was hoping for one more match, but apparently, the contract ended and Jinn wasn’t allowed back.”

 

Sam: “Allowed back? I’ve run an agency. They usually don’t have that much pull.”

 

Marie: “Well, I’ve heard it was something else. But either way…”

 

Sam: “At least you have a pretty damn good back-up plan. Adrenaline Championship Tournament. Part of me hoped to be in it.

 

Marie: “Yeah…still surprised I’m in it, but happy to be there.”

 

Sam: “It’s weird. The issues with Lohan. She’s back. I hear she’s already asking about gunning for the World Title. Regan as the US Champion-“

 

Marie: “Don’t remind me. I can’t wait until I see what D has in store for her. She needs a good punch to the face.”

 

Sam: “You’re telling me. Either way, it’s a bit humbling. Seeing a lot of people I don’t care for walking around with opportunity. We’re in my hometown, I’m not even competing. That part stings.”

 

Marie: “I’ve been there. I then just had to pivot and take advantage of some opportunities.”

 

Sam: “I just have to create some.”

 

Marie: “Have a few ideas.”

 

Sam: “You don’t stay around this business as long as I have without a few ideas.”

 

Sam smiles a bit. The crowd cheers a bit before we see another man walk up to Sam Raine and Marie Jones, Andrew Raynes. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “That’s Andrew Raynes! The former tag partner of Amy Chastaine! We’ve not seen him in years!’

 

Andrew: “Hey…uh…sorry to interrupt. Know where the boss’ office is?”

 

Sam: “Someone who doesn’t know where it is? Down the hall and to the right. He’s probably pretty busy.”

 

Marie: “Already busy.”

 

Andrew: “He wanted me to check in since I live here. Good to see you both.”

 

Andrew smiles as he heads off. The crowd roars as Sam and Marie watch him walk off and we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Kennedy Street walking backstage. She can be seen looking at the envelope in her hand still and just shakes her head. She takes a few steps before looking around for someone else and then continuing on her way. We then see Christina Matsui walking backstage and Kennedy Street quickly stops her.

 

Kennedy: “Christina, honey? Have you seen Amy?”

 

Christina pauses for a moment and turns to her.

 

Christina: “She’s not here.”

 

Kennedy: “She was though. I saw her.”

 

Christina: “That was as a favour to William Hush. She’s not here. She’s left the building.”

 

Kennedy: “Well she wasn’t booked-“

 

Christina: “I can’t say any more officially, but you may want to give her a call after the show. She could use a friend.”

 

Kennedy: “Well I know the match with William Hush took a lot out of her but-“

 

Christina: “Sorry Kennedy. I can’t say more.”

 

Christina turns and walks off as Kennedy looks a bit confused before then turning and walking off with more urgency.

Katie Steward vs. Stacy Kissinger

 

The lighting completely turns off inside the arena and only the SCWtron is lit. It shows a set of deep brown eyes. It slowly zooms out to show the face of Stacy Kissinger. Some people pop in the crowd. The SCWtron zooms out even further until her entire frame can be seen before if zooms back in real fast to just show Stacy’s face. Her eyes blink and then close and the SCWtron goes to black. But it's not a few seconds before the beginning of "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten is heard. A small bit of fog rolls out onto the stage and the familiar figure of Stacy Kissinger steps out and through the fog. The stage lights come on so everyone can see her holding a microphone, wearing a yellow and dark slate blue colored robe around her, the colors of Adrenaline Rush. Craig Thomas and Tyler Tucker walk out with her. Kissinger doesn't sing, but she does remove herself from the foggy stage and descends down the ramp as she looks around the arena a little bit, gently smiling.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First on her way to the ring, accompanied by Craig Thomas and Tyler Tucker, the members of Adrenaline, from Dallas, Texas, she is Stacy Kissinger!”

Stacy completes her walk to the ring and slides in. Thomas enters with her as Tucker walks around the ring. Kisisnger then stands up and goes to the center of the ring and slowly spins herself around so she can view the entire arena. Thomas then removes the robe from around her. She then turns and looks at the entrance way as her and Thomas share a few words before he exits the ring. Kissinger turns to the entrance way and backs up, putting down her microphone. She then watches the entrance way. Tucker settles in her corner as Thomas joins them.

 

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger not coming out alone and probably for the best. The Stewards are here en masse and you wonder if they’ll be ready to make an impact. Katie Steward not happy with not being on Rise to Greatness and has been telling everyone about it.”

 

Winters: “She’s a Hall of Famer. A legend. Thank God for the Bree-Show and giving her a place to showcase her greatness!”

 

Sharper: “All of that is true, but come on, Shawn-“

 

Winters: “Hey! I value my ability to procreate!”

 

A few moments pass. A church organ begins to play. A chorus sings along with a harmonious melody. The lights in the arena dim down darkening the area and “Mercy on Me (Instrumental)” starts to play. A spotlight shines down onto the stage for Katie Steward to step out from behind the curtain and stands in the light. Gigi Steward, Maddy Steward and TJ Johnson walk out with her. She wears her white ring robe with a pink outline around the white cloth and gold sequences sparkled over it. She grabs the sides of her robe holding it out and spins around slowly showing off to the fans who snap photos and videos of her. The crowd boos. She then stops and looks down at the ring as she turns to TJ. TJ walks over to her and reveals a microphone in her hand before extending it to Katie’s mouth. The crowd boos more.

 

Winters: “Guess we’re going to hear from the Goddess!”

 

Katie: “All of you shut up! You should honour your Goddess!”

 

The crowd boos more as Stacy rolls her eyes. Katie looks around.

 

Katie: “You should be happy I am even here after the level of disrespect I received at Rise to Greatness weekend! For the first time ever, I was not on the show and that is a travesty! And who was….”

 

Katie looks at the ring.

 

Katie: “You were. You two were. Stacy…you were in challenging for the US Championship. You wouldn’t even have that opportunity if it wasn’t for me! I am the reason you even MATTER right now in SCW. Same for Syren, for Ravyn, for Sienna, for Kelcey, for Selena, for Bree, for Amy…ALL OF YOU. And I’m not even booked on Rise to Greatness.”

 

Katie looks around.

 

Katie: “And maybe people need to respect that more, so Stacy…you should bow down and offer your thanks to your Goddess!”

 

Kissinger smirks and turns and laughs.

 

Katie: “Bow down and pay respect to the only reason you’re relevant!”

 

Kissinger just looks at her, shaking her head, mouthing “Are you serious?” Katie just looks at her, glaring. She then looks around before turning to Gigi.

 

Katie: “Fine…You don’t deserve to even be in the same ring as me. Gigi….Teach her some respect.”

 

Gigi looks at Katie and Katie just turns to her and looks at her sternly. Gigi then, still in street clothes, turns and runs down to the ring. TJ looks at Katie a bit stunned. Maddy too. Gigi then slides into the ring and Stacy backs up. Gigi gets up and goes at Kissinger and tries to tackle her down. The crowd roars as Steven Hollinsworth, the official, doesn’t know what to do. Kissinger uses her legs to stay on her feet as Gigi tries to take her down, before throwing her off. She rolls over and Kissinger kicks her in the ribs. She kicks her again and Gigi ends up in the corner. Kissinger kicks her again and then chops her. The crowd woos. She chops her again. Katie, Maddy and TJ reach the ring and Katie yells at the referee to start the match. Steven Hollinswoth just looks at her and says she’s not the person in charge. Katie then steps up onto the apron and Thomas and Tucker start to walk around the ring.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward is demanding that the referee start this match. This is not a match. This is a fight.”

 

Winters: “And Katie getting animated has gotten Adrenaline Rush’s attention. No one knows what to think about this!”

 

TJ heads over and tells Katie to get down. Katie then shoves the official as Hollinsworth comes over to her. Katie then enters the ring. Kissinger turns and goes over to her. She goes to grab her, but Katie yells out and Maddy enters the ring and runs over and spears Kissinger down. Tucker and Thomas roll into the ring and Katie turns and kicks at Kissinger as Gigi comes out. Tucker and Thomas head over as the bell sounds, trying to regain order. TJ Johnson hops onto the apron and enters the ring. TJ heads over and tries to pull Katie back as Katie turns and kicks at Thomas as Thomas looks at her.

 

Sharper: “Katie going after Craig Thomas. She’s lost it!”

 

Winters: “Hollinsworth disrespected her and she shoved the official. Thomas and Tucker had enough!”

 

Maddy and Gigi get up and Gigi runs over and nails Tucker from behind. Maddy turns and kicks Thomas in the ribs and then again. They get a few shots in before running into the ropes. She bounces off and Thomas lifts her up and back drops her over the top rope. Maddy rolls over. Gigi turns and goes over to Thomas and kicks him in the ribs and then again. Tucker gets up as Kissinger stirs as Katie is pulled out of the ring by TJ. Gigi kicks Thomsa again and Thomas manages to nail her with a hard right. Gigi staggers back. He pulls her in and he lifts her up and Tucker jumps up with a dropkick, catching her as Gigi drops down and rolls to the floor. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Adrenaline Rush with the double team. Gigi taken down! Adrenaline Rush has the ring!”

 

Knots: “Katie pulled back and protected by TJ. TJ has always stood by her!”

 

Sharper: “Maddy in front of us here. Gigi taken down. Adrenaline Rush isn’t going to be bullied into respecting Katie Steward when her attitude is part of the reason she’s where she is!”

 

Maddy slowly walks around and goes over to Gigi and helps her up as she’s on the floor. Katie keeps yelling at the ring.

 

Katie: “Respect me, damn it! I deserve that!”

 

Katie just looks at the ring as Kissinger looks at her as Thomas stands with her. Tucker just looks at her. Kissinger and Katie lock eyes as Katie is pulled back. The crowd continues to roar as Adrenaline Rush takes the ring. Thomas starts to motion for the crowd to make noise. Katie looks around as TJ keeps pulling her back. Gigi and Maddy walk around the ring and look over to Adrenaline Rush who stand tall in the ring. Kissinger keeps watching Katie as we then cut away.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jessica Winters standing by with Christy Matthews. Matthews looks less than happy to put it simply as Jessica introduces the fans to the scene.

 

Jessica: “Welcome backstage. Jessica Winters here with Christy Matthews and Christy-“

 

Christy grabs the microphone.

 

Christy: “So I’m not even going to be given an opportunity to win back my title….”

 

Christy looks around. Jessica pulls the title back.

 

Jessica: “Well, Alexis Quinne is in it. I presume that her victory at Rise to Greatness was a determining factor.”

 

Christy turns to Jessica.

 

Christy: “Are you serious? Quinne got lucky and now she’s getting one over me….I thought I was past this, but SCW wants to yet again force me away from what I have DEFINED for months….I’m not going away. I’m not-“

We then cut back to the live shot in the arena as we see Lexi von Aaron stomping at Kissinger before Tucker and Thomas start to pull her off. Lexi gets free and gets a forearm shot in on Tucker before going for a shot at Thomas, but Thomas blocks it and throws her down out of instinct. Lexi rolls over and down to the floor, past Kissinger, who holds her head. Just then, the lights go out.

 

Sharper: “Lexi von Aaron attacking Kissinger! Thomas and Tucker stop her but-“

 

Winters: “What’s going on?”

 

“Awesome God” starts to play. The crowd roars as Chad Evans walks out from the back, standing in a lone spotlight. He just looks down at the ring as he just smirks. The crowd roars as Thomas and Tucker look down at the entrance way. We then see Lexi, having recovered, running up the rampway. She then drops down to her knees and hugs him around his legs. Chad just looks down.

 

Sharper: “Chad Evans?!”

 

Winters: “The Second God himself is back!”

 

Sharper: “Lexi is hugging his legs! That’s who she was referring too! God Himself has returned!”

 

Chad Evans just starts to laugh as Lexi remains hugging his legs. He just looks around as the crowd roars. Thomas and Tucker glare at him as Chad just remains surveying the arena. The roars continue as the scene slowly fades to black.

The trumpets sound as the chorus for “Exodus” by Ernest Gold & Henry Mancini begins to as the crowd roars. A few moments pass before we see Kelcey Wallace walk out from the back and looking around the arena. The crowd cheers some more.

 

Sharper: “The former World Champion, Kelcey Wallace, joining us here on Breakdown!”

 

Kelcey Wallace soaks in the reaction for a few moments before starting on her way to the ring. She walks down the rampway and to the ring. She looks around, her eyes scanning the arena. She then walks up the steel steps. She then walks along the ropes and steps into the ring. She looks around before taking a moment to pose in the middle of the ring. She just nods as the crowd cheers her. She goes over to the corner and asks for a microphone. She’s handed one and Kelcey walks back over to the middle of the ring. She then takes a moment and looks around as the crowd roars some.

 

Kelcey: “Thank you for that. Unfortunately, I had hoped to be standing her as the SCW World Champion and getting ready to face Selena Frost, but that was not apparently meant to be…”

 

Kelcey pauses for a moment, looking down as the crowd boos a bit.

 

Kelcey: “But I’m not out here to talk about the World Championship. In fact, all I’ll say is that I will firmly be rooting for Selena Frost and Selena, I hope you kick Ace’s ass and that title comes back around your waist tonight and if Ace tries anything, or more importantly, Cassidy tries something, I will be right there to make sure whatever happens tonight is right down the middle.”

 

The crowd cheers as Kelcey looks around.

 

Kelcey: “But what I am out here to talk about is my future in this wrestling ring. There have been some rumours. Some people wondering how much I have left. More importantly, some people have noticed I’ve been dropping hint, including, in the run-up to Rise to Greatness mentioning that this year’s event would be my last one.”

 

Kelcey looks up at the crowd and takes a deep breath.

 

Kelcey: “And that is true. This year’s Rise to Greatness event will be my last one.”

 

The crowd boos some as Kelcey puts her hand up.

 

Kelcey: “Now, I know…I know….if I could, I would come out to this ring and be that symbol of perfection I strive to be and try to set records, dominate and compete for each and every one of you, but unfortunately, I am human.”

 

Kelcey pauses for a moment, clearly contemplating her words carefully.

 

Kelcey: “Now, while I may have some personal reasons that are going to lead to my earlier than desired exit, one of the most significant reasons is that I am not getting any younger and I have always wanted to have a child. I am blessed that I have Chris in my life and his son Christian in our lives, but I feel our family is not yet complete and for that, I need to make a choice. Especially as I saw a friend, Taylor, give birth to a beautiful child….AJ Helms and Scarlett Pearson….with life being as fragile as it can be and the fact that this is a contact sport, I can’t help but feel that if I want to do this, I have to do it sooner rather than later. And that point is rapidly approaching.”

 

The crowd applauds politely at the moment as Kelcey looks around before holding her hand up again.

 

Kelcey: “BUT!”

 

Kelcey smiles a bit.

 

Kelcey: “I still have a lot left I want to do. See, one thing I’ve prided myself on doing, no matter what my outlook on life was that I would rise above any and all challenges I had. And I have managed to stand tall, victorious more often than not. But as I said here, there is some unfinished business with some people. We all know how Selena and I still owe each other that one match. She’s not the only one and if this is my swan song. This is my exit…well…I will simply say this….stay tuned, because I will be damned if I don’t make it perfect!”

 

Kelcey brings the microphone down. “Exodus” plays again as the crowd cheers. Kelcey looks around and nods before turning and handing off the microphone. She then turns and goes over to the nearby corner and steps up to the middle turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace announcing her impending leave from the ring. She wants to continue to grow her family. An honourable reason. But not just that, she has some unfinished business and she aims to finish it.”

 

Winters: “She’s a year away from turning thirty. It’s a big decision to make. Part of me wonders if there’s more to it. There were points at Rise to Greatness, she looked a bit off. Maybe a nagging injury. But I can’t ever say a bad thing about her reasoning. It’s part of why I retired.”

 

Sharper: “We know Selena is on her list. You wonder who else. I’m sure we’ll find out, but tonight, the focus is still on Selena and Kelcey Wallace will be watching closely, looking out for her friend as Selena Frost challenges for the SCW World Championship later tonight against Ace Marshall!”

 

Kelcey Wallace remains on the middle turnbuckle, looking around the crowd. She continues to survey it as they cheer her and we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Spirit Dansby standing outside of the office of Mr. D.  The crowd roars seeing him.

 

Spirit: “A lot to talk to you boss, but I’ll try to keep this quick as I know you’ve got much to do tonight. A lot of rumours. A lot of decisions. First off, Kelcey Wallace just said that she had a perfect plan if you will, some unfinished business. Has this been something she’s addressed with you?”

 

Mr. D smiles a bit.

 

Mr. D: “Of course and she’s given me a list of some opponents she’d like to face. It’s currently under consideration.”

 

Spirit: “We’ll all look forward to hearing more about that. Meanwhile, I would be remiss if while I had you hear, I didn’t mention the hesitation you had when you announced Bree Lancaster in the Adrenaline Championship Tournament. You mentioned you were going to give some consequences to them and Bree is rewarded-“

 

Mr. D: “At this point, I’ll simply say that that was a decision out of my control.”

 

Spirit pauses.

 

Spirit: “Fair enough…in that case, are we going to find out some of what you have planned for Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason.’

 

Mr. D: “In fact, your timing is pretty good. See, next, the B&B Experience will be facing against The F-Ups and both were involved in frankly, one of the most self-serving and insulting displays at that little BREE-Show. Since they all seemed to work together, let’s see what happens when they face each other, but there is one twist that they don’t know about….see, since they proceeded to insult all of the other hardworking tag teams and the F-Ups even managed to steal the Tag Team Championship shot…something that despite whatever I feel about them, they got lucky and it happened to land in their hands. I can’t take that away from them and we’ll see if they can handle AJ Helms and whoever he picks as his partner. And I will remind everyone I will not block any choice he makes….”

 

Mr. D pauses.

 

Mr. D: “But tonight it’s not about the Tag Team Championship. It’s about what both of these teams did to the titles and so I’ve invited a few individuals who would have a personal issue with that to come to ringside and act as lumberjacks. Let’s see how they like it when the tables are turned.”

 

The crowd cheers. Mr. D just smiles a bit.

 

Spirit: “A lumberjack match with the stars of the Tag Team Division around the ring when B&B Experience and The F-Ups go at it…things just got interesting. Thank you for your time.”

 

Mr. D: “Not a problem.”

 

Spirit: “Adam?”

 

We then cut to a shot of the crowd as they roar.

 

Sharper: “The B&B Experience and the F-Ups may find a bit more about who they’ve annoyed. Lumberjack match next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

The B&B Experience vs. The F-Ups

 

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

 

The lights go out. "G.O.A.T" by CFO$ featuring Will Roush echoes from the louder speaker. When the lights come back on Blake appears on the stage with his back turned to the ring; his arms stretched out. Blake turns around. He looks over his shoulder. He waves his hand calling out his tag team partner, Bree Lancaster. She walks out with a smile, meeting him at his side, and both take a moment to soak in the less than stellar reaction from the audience. They kiss each other passionately to egg the crowd even more.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, and has a twenty minute time limit and is a lumberjack match. First, on their way to the ring, they are Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason, the B&B Experience!”

 

The crowd boos more. They make their way down the ramp, wasting no time getting to the ring. Bree slides in the ring, first. Blake slides in after her. Bree hops up on a corner, posing with one arm overhead, the other propped on her hip, flashing a bright yet smug smirk at the crowd. Blake leans against the opposite corner. Bree hops down and joins Blake. They are in the midst of going over last minute details until the match starts.

 

Sharper: “The B&B Experience here and this is going to be a unique match. Blake and Bree and the F-Ups…Imogen and Bree are fine, though Bree apparently sees Imogen as a lost cause.”

 

Winters: “Well duh.”

 

Sharper: “But they tried to help each other and now they’re facing each other. The F-Up meanwhile are number one contenders…think about that. Number one contenders to the World Tag Team Championship.”

 

The lights dim down, and green smoke begins to slowly drift up and around the entrance ramp, when the voice of Beard can be heard saying, “A lot of wrestlers talkin’ that shhhh,” followed by Juice’s voice saying, “Not enough doin’ that shhhh…”. Then, “White Crime” by Lil Dicky begins to blare through the PA system and out from the smoke emerges Beard and Juice, walking in slow motion. Beard slowly poses, flexing muscles and pointing to his beard. Juice slowly jaws with the crowd, while slowly patting himself on the chest. Imogen Reed walks out with them, staying with Beard.

 

Phillips: “And their opponents, accompanied by Imogen Reed, they are Beard and Juice, the F-Ups!”

 

The music continues to play, with Beard and Juice’s voices heard once more saying:

“White crime
White crime
Yeah, we ‘bout that
Do a lot of dirt, never doubt that
Lot of wrestle twerps, love to shout crap
Love to make their mouth flat
When it come to the Ups, no, we spout facts
You 'gon learn what we 'bout, bruh”

Slowly ascending to the top rope, the F-Ups pose once more, drinking in all of the jeers. They then quickly jump down off of the top rope and roll to the outside. Imogen Reed walks around the ring and going over to their corner. Beard and Juice turn to Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster.

 

Sharper: “The F-Ups are here and they’re both on cloud nine for the contendership, but annoyed they are not the Tag Team Champions.”

 

Winters: “They did beat AJ Helms and Torsten Voigt.”

 

Sharper: “After it was unnecessarily restarted at the BREE-Show by Blake Mason! But now, these four who conspired it seems to take the titles from AJ Helms, they have to deal with some measure of revenge and this is a lumberjack. So who are the lumberjacks?! Let’s find out!”

 

Phillips: “And now, please welcome the lumberjacks for this match….”

 

Blake and Bree turn to the entrance way as Imogen talks to Beard who focuses on her as Juice looks on. “Immortals” starts to play as the crowd roars and we see Tyler Tucker and Craig Thomas walk out from the back. Following them is Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine who get some louder cheers and then the Sisterhood, Angelica Jones and Kayla Jones. The crowd cheers as they head to the ring.

 

Sharper: “The stars who have been gunning for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! Adrenaline Rush, the Sisterhood, the Brotherhood!”

 

Winters: “And look who’s taking up the rear, the SCW Word Tag Team Champion, AJ Helms!”

 

AJ Helms walks out after them as the crowd cheers some more. Jake Starr glances back and walks back and pats him on the back as he heads to the ring. Blake just shakes his head and looks out. Imogen quickly hops onto the apron and looks around as Tucker and Thomas walk around the ring along with the Sisterhood. Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine walk around the opposite direction with AJ Helms standing at the entrance way. AJ Helms looks at Blake Mason as Imogen looks around. The referee tells Imogen to get to the floor. She snaps back by looking around.

 

Sharper: “Imogen Reed is on the apron. It’s enemy territory on the ground.”

 

Winters: “Well find a place for her. She’s cool! I like her!”

 

Sharper: “She’s tied herself to an unpopular lot to say the least!”

 

The lumberjacks all settle at ringside. Imogen keeps looking around and the official, Jackson Kohl, calls for the bell. The crowd roars as he then turns to Imogen and tells her to get down. Imogen looks around as Beard then holds his hands up. He exits to the apron. He then steps through and drops down. Imogen then drops down.

 

Winters: “Over here!”

 

Winters then rolls out an extra chair from the announce table to next to the table. Beard walks her over. Imogen sits down and just then, Kayla runs over and kicks Beard in the ribs. The crowd roars. She kicks him again as Angelica clubs him in the back and then again. The two of them manhandle him and roll him into the ring.

 

Sharper: “Angelica and Kayla Jones forcing Beard back in. No hesitation to go right after him.”

 

Imogen yells at them and Kayla turns back. Imogen then turns and grabs Shawn and pulls him over.

 

Winters: “Hey!”

 

Imogen: “What?! I’m more important than you!”

 

We cut to the ring as Blake immediately goes after Beard as Juice looks at him. Blake grabs him and nails him with hard forearm and then another. The crowd boos as Blake pushes Beard into the corner. He knees him in the ribs and then again before whipping him across the ring. Blake runs after him as Beard bounces out and staggers forward and Blake drills him with a clothesline. The crowd ohs and boos. Blake goes for the pin.

Bree yells at them to stop as Jake and Tommy run over and both stomp Blake in the chest. Blake rolls over and Jake clubs him in the back as Tommy kicks him in the ribs. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine going after Blake! Bree Lancaster yelling at them to stop, but this is all allowed.”

 

Winters: “They played with the Tag Team Championship and a lot of people are not happy at all! Taking it out on them!”

 

Sharper: “And D said this may just be the start!”

 

Tommy clubs him again and rolls him into the ring. Blake rolls over and slowly gets up and Beard grabs him and hits a vertical suplex. Blake winces and Beard turns and tags in Juice. He then starts to pull Blake up as the crowd roars a bit. Juice climbs up to the top rope. He then dives off with a diving clothesline.

Tucker grabs him and nails him with a hard right and then a left and then a hard right as Beard falls over. Juice falls to the ring and Tucker pushes him back in. Kayla and Angelica walk over and snap at Tucker.

 

Kayla: “Should’ve kept him out here longer!”

 

Tucker just shrugs and turns away and Kayla just looks at him and Angelica turns to her. Kayla and her talk as AJ keeps looking on. Bree then walks over and grabs at Juice and pulls him up. She whips him into the ropes. Juice bounces off and Bree hits a dropkick. Angelica and Kayla then grab Beard and throw him into the barricade. Beard falls over. Imogen stands up. Kayla starts to look at her. AJ walks around too.

 

Sharper: “Juice taking a beating on the floor…and Beard! The Sisterhood getting another shot in!”

 

Winters: “Beard went for it and missed. He went in there.”

 

Sharper: “Sisterhood really looking to make an impact there. AJ Helms still yet to get physically, but Bree Lancaster meanwhile, in the ring, with the advantage on Juice.”

Winters: “Juice is however taking advantage of the situation and trying to beat Bree!”

 

Juice grabs Bree and scoops her up and slams her down. He runs into the ropes and bounces off and hits a slopping rolling senton. He turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Bree shoots her shoulder up. She turns and Juice looks up. He then grabs Bree and tries to drag her over as Blake covers up. Beard stirs at the corner and just then, we see Angelica and Kayla running over to Starr and Tommy. Kayla pushes Tommy out of the way. Angelica looks at her sister and then shrugs and pushes Starr out of the way as the two of them start to stomp away on Blake. The crowd roars. Starr and Tommy back up and AJ looks at them before Kayla snaps at him to back off. AJ just scoffs and Starr and Tommy pull Kayla and Angelica away. Bree pulls away from Juice. Juice turns back and runs at Bree and Bree gets up and pulls down the top rope. Juice goes up and over. Tucker and Thomas, however, are heading around the ring to go after the Sisterhood.

 

Sharper: “Juice thrown to the floor, but the bigger issue right now is the Sisterhood who are out for blood!”

 

Winters “But against who? Blake Mason or just anyone!?”

 

Tommy and Starr stand across from Kayla and Angelica. Tucker and Thomas head around, looking to mediate. AJ turns back as Juice slowly looks around on the floor. Imogen sees a moment and runs over to Beard. Kayla then suddenly kicks Starr in between the legs. He falls over and Angelica nails Tommy with a hard right and then another. AJ comes over and Kayla and Angelica fight with him. Tommy and Tucker pull Kayla and Angelica back and Angelica spins around and nails Thomas with a hard right and then another. Thomas then lifts her up and turns and spears her into the barricade. The crowd roars. Tucker turns and tells Kayla to step back. Kayla then lunges and nails him with the Kaylan Wind Kick. The crowd ohs as Tucker falls back. Kayla then turns and grabs Thomas and gouges him in the eyes before pulling him back and throwing him back. Blake crawls away as Imogen runs around with Beard and starts to walk with Juice to the back. They pick up the pace as Bree looks around and rolls out of the ring too. The crowd boos a bit as Blake crawls away and Bree helps him up. They start to retreat too. Some cheer as AJ runs over and starts to focus on the Sisterhood too, breaking things up.

 

Sharper: “The F-Ups! Blake and Bree! They’re running off! This has broken down!”

 

Winters: “The Sisterhood now has the attention of the Brotherhood, of AJ Helms and of Adrenaline Rush!”

 

Sharper: “They’ve been taking any and all shots and the other teams have had it!”

 

AJ pulls Kayla back and Kayla kicks him in the ribs. She nails him with a forearm shot. She throws another shot and AJ blocks it as Starr gets up, holding himself .Tommy turns and grabs at Kayla. Angelica then nails Tommy. The crowd roars as Angelica nails Tommy again and then again before Kayla turns and pulls her away. Tommy winces as AJ gets up and walks forward. Craig Thomas steps forward as Jake walks over and joins them. Kayla and Angelica back away as the crowd boos. We see some officials running down from the back as the crowd boos more.

 

Sharper: “This has broken down…the Sisterhood….the frustration spilling over and they’ve just gone after anyone!”

 

Winters: “The plan to teach Blake Mason, Bree Lancaster and the F-Ups about respect didn’t work out at all!”

 

Sharper: “And the Sisterhood decided now was the time to take things in their own hands was to blame!”

 

Bree looks back as Blake winces. The F-Ups have long disappeared to the back as Bree helps Blake to the back. The crowd looks on booing as officials get between the Sisterhood and their newly annoyed rivals, the Brotherhood, AJ Helms and Adrenaline Rush. Kayla turns to Angelica as Angelica looks at her. The crowd continues to boo as the scene slowly fades to black.

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

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Toronto. Jonathan Knots joining me, Adam Sharper, here at ringside.”

 

Knots: “Huge night already. Chad Evans is back. The B&B Experience and The F-Ups got out of dodge. World Title match still to come!”

 

The lights around the arena dim leaving the spotlights focused on the stage.

 

“I’ve got the gift of one-liners,
And you’ve got the curse of curves!”


The opening to “Misery Business” by Paramore suddenly hits the PA system as the spotlights on the stage flash between pink and white and the video screens around the arena begin to play.

Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


After a few moments the curtains part and Syren walks out from the back with Ravyn Taylor, who is holding the SCW Women’s and Television Championship. Syren looks around as Ravyn Taylor turns to her and Syren just looks around.

 

“This is How a Heart Breaks!”

 

The crowd erupts in cheers as a few moments pass as the stage flashes between white and red lights. A few moments pass before we see CHBK walk out from the back. CHBK steps forward and looks around as the roar from the Toronto crowd greets him with significant cheers.

 

Sharper: “The Canadian Heartbreak Kid back in Toronto, back with SCW!”

 

Knots: “But why? The bastard returned superkicking Josh Hudson and helping Syren tap him out with the help of a chair. Why is he back?!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but I sense we’re going to find out and he’s coming to the ring with Dark Fantasy, Syren and Ravyn Taylor. And I can say one thing. Regan Street, Mikaela Street, they are not happy. Mikaela was dating CHBK! She didn’t know…”

 

Knots: “Well he’s hopefully regretting that. You see the pictures she’s put out of herself. Hot damn.”

 

Syren looks at CHBK as CHBK turns to her. He then motions for her to head to the ring. She then starts to head to the ring, confidently. Ravyn is next as she just smirks at CHBK before CHBK takes the rear. Syren looks around as she sings CHBK’s theme for a change as she runs up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron and steps into the ring. Ravyn Taylor follows and hops onto the apron before entering the ring. CHBK is last, taking his time, and walking up the steel steps and entering into the ring. Syren goes over to the corner and climbs up as she poses on the turnbuckle. She looks around as Ravyn just smirks and walks around the ring, holding the two titles. CHBK then watches both as he stands in the middle of the ring. Syren hops down as Ravyn goes to the corner and asks for a microphone. She’s handed one and she turns and hands it to Syren. Syren takes it as the crowd buzzes.

 

Sharper: “And we’re going to hear from Syren first.”

 

Syren looks around as she smiles a bit.

 

Syren: “I think a few things become clearer now, but first off, I think Josh Hudson, you just found out you don’t mess with me!”

 

The crowd cheers as Syren looks around.

 

Syren: “No one threatens my career. No one aims to derail me after everything I have fought damn hard to get all because they’re jealous. That’s a surefire way they’re going to be disappointed.”

 

Syren pauses a moment.

 

Syren: “Does it feel good? See, Josh, I knew that Taking Hold of the Flame wasn’t going to be it. I knew that you wouldn’t just be able to accept it. Especially when you run around with Regan Street, Miss I never forget anything because I’m a petty bitch….her? Yeah. And you’re married to another person who is the same…they can’t get over the fact that I’m me and I bust my ass for everything….but Josh, what you didn’t count on was that I was going to get one very crucial phone call.”

 

Syren then turns to CHBK. She smiles a bit.

 

Syren: “And a plan came into motion. A plan that had me challenge you Josh at your own game and even with all of the promotional appearances, the personal events, the apparent reports of me jumping from balconies…”

 

Syren giggles a bit while looking at Ravyn.

 

Syren: “Well…I had someone who was going to make sure that I could make you tap Josh and training with someone who made you tap before. See, Josh, I’m not some dumb blonde. I’m not going to let someone who has so much hate as you…who stand with people who can only hate because they are jealous and that’s all….take me out. And I had someone else who agreed with that.”

 

Syren then turns to CHBK as the crowd roars.

 

Syren: “I think this is where you fill in some gaps.”

 

CHBK walks forward as Syren extends the microphone to him. CHBK takes the microphone as the crowd erupts in cheers as CHBK looks around. He then smiles as he listens to the crowd. He takes a few moments before the starting to speak.

 

CHBK: “There are a couple of people backstage who are a bit upset at me because I made my presence felt at Rise to Greatness.”

 

CHBK smirks.

 

CHBK: “But as Syren said, I’ve been making my presence felt for a couple of months now. And in fact, the moment I knew that Josh Hudson wasn’t going to step back, that’s when I realized I needed to make good on one claim I made several years ago.”

 

CHBK turns to Ravyn and Syren.

 

CHBK: “See, let’s go back five or six years when Dark Fantasy was coming up and I threw everything away to stand with them. When I said that, I said one very specific thing….Syren and Ravyn Taylor were the future of this sport. They’re the future of SCW. Well now, after six World titles cumulatively, they are now, very much, the present of this company and this sport. And I’ll be damned if the two people I still feel are the best wrestlers in this sport today are going to be bullied out of it. And add that I have no love lost for Josh Hudson, a man who I have fought time and time again over fourteen years and frankly, someone who’s mere presence offends me….The fact that he’s doing it, I wasn’t going to just sit back and accept it. So I called Syren…I called her and offered my help. Offered what I would do and prepared her for it, personally training her too.”

 

CHBK then turns and walks over to the nearest camera who is standing on the steel steps in the corner.

 

CHBK: “Now Regan Street accused me of screwing around with Syren.”

 

CHBK turns back at Syren and scoffs as a few fans roar.

 

CHBK: “Even if it was the case, still wouldn’t be as fun as watching Josh Hudson realize his plan blew up in his face as he was outplayed. Or should I say…it wouldn’t be as fun as watching the heartbreak on his face as he realized I yet again beat him!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

CHBK: “And Regan, I’m going to give you one last piece of advice, since I’m pretty sure that I won’t be welcome around the house anymore. Keep listening to Josh Hudson if you want to keep failing. You want to keep acting like a raging asshole, no amount of titles are going to amount to the respect these two have and earn on a regular basis…even with Ravyn’s unique approach! But keep listening to Josh, keep being angry, Regan…I’ll put my lot in with the two women I always felt should be the top tier of this sport!”

 

The crowd roars as Syren just smiles a bit, also a bit embarrassed, as Ravyn smirks. CHBK keeps looking at the camera.

 

CHBK: “Let that be my warning. I am here for one reason. I have done more for this company than anyone else. And I am not going to let people who…”

 

CHBK turns to Syren.

 

CHBK: “…are TOTALLY jealous, ruin this sport because they can’t adapt-“

 

We hear the sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen before hearing “Who’s Next” play. The crowd roars as Regan Street walks out from the back with Mikaela Street. Josh Hudson stands with them. Hudson just looks down at CHBK as CHBK watches all three. Regan Street has a microphone in her hand.

 

Regan: “Are you actually kidding me?”

 

Regan looks down at the ring.

 

Regan: “You’ve got to be screwing her. The fact that you just came out and gave that speech makes me want to throw up. That bitch doesn’t deserve ANYTHING except a hole in the ground. And the other one, I can’t wait until Sienna gets her rematch and knocks her the hell out.”

 

The crowd roars as they boo.

 

Regan: “Meanwhile, Heartbreak…You just pissed off someone who actually is holding gold despite having to deal with the biggest pile of BS this year and D is AFRAID to even deal with me tonight because he knows I’ve been right all along and the old bastard knows I am the franchise of this sport!”

 

Regan holds the US Championship over her head.

 

Regan: “And on top of that, you gave up this, Heartbreak…”

 

Regan turns to Mikaela who shows herself off.

 

Regan: “But it’s fine, because even with the blue pills, you couldn’t get it up and you needed to get more fake just to have a shot.”

 

CHBK chuckles.

 

Regan: “But then again, you’re just now part of the problem. With you, it’s tits not fists. Well, with me, it’s fists not tits, even if we both have a nice set if I say so. And if that means, we’ll need to push you out of the way from your pedestal as the Epitome of SCW as you used to say, then fine….That’s my specialty…pushing people out of my way to get what I want.”

 

Regan looks at the US Title.

 

Regan: “I wanted this so Amy Chastaine and Selena Frost would realize they’ll never touch it if they ever want it and I have it. Everyone knows I hate Syren and Ravyn…after what you did to Sienna, I’ll love watching you get EVERYTHING you deserve. You want to stand with them instead of real present of this sport, Heartbreak….you’ll live up to your name ya old bastard.”

 

CHBK just smirks, again looking at Ravyn and then Syren.

 

CHBK: “Sounds like you’re making my point. Keep being so totally jealous.”

 

Syren giggles, enjoying CHBK using her catchphrase.

 

Regan: “Please!”

 

Regan mockingly starts to gag. Mikaela just shakes her head, feigning embarrassment for CHBK.

 

CHBK: “You may be damn good, but you’re all hate and anger. Josh is perfect to guide you. But come after Syren and Ravyn like the way Josh did. Well, let’s just say they now have someone who knows every trick you know. And Regan…I know another thing. I know Olek better than many. Have fun.”

 

CHBK brings the microphone down as “This is How a Heart Breaks” starts to play. Regan then starts to yell out.

 

Regan: “No….No! Don’t play that crap. Cut it!”

 

The music fades out. The crowd boos. Regan looks down at the ring.

 

Regan: “If anything is playing you out…It’s going to be the entrance of the woman who is going to make SCW great again…YOUR US Champion.”

 

Regan backs up as “Who’s Next” starts to play. CHBK just shakes his head as Ravyn mockingly waves goodbye. Syren just smiles as CHBK turns and raises her arm. Regan turns and heads to back as Josh Hudson keeps eying CHBK. Mikaela looks at CHBK briefly too before heading off.

 

Sharper: “Regan needed the last word.”

 

Knots: “Well she’s the US Champion. She should get it. And we’ve heard enough of Ravyn’s tripe in recent weeks!”

 

Sharper: “Regan and Syren, another back and forth. CHBK making a good point. Like CHBK and Jason Zero. Oil and water and the US Champion not fazed. Neither is Dark Fantasy as it looks like CHBK is back in their corner!”

 

Knots: “What else is going to happen tonight?”

 

CHBK continues to hold Syren’s arm up as Josh Hudson slowly then backs away. The crowd continues to cheer Dark Fantasy and CHBK as the scene fades out.

We open up backstage to see Mr. D in his office with Christina Matsui. He turns from the monitor.

 

Christina: “You know that you’ll need to do something regarding her. She’s completely violent.”

 

Mr. D: “That’s something I’ll save for next week. With everything else and now Sisterhood deciding to make their own opportunity…well, Regan can dodge the bullet for this week. You can’t run a company based on revenge. At least all the time.”

 

Christina: “That’s one way to put it.”

 

Mr. D: “Just make sure the Sisterhood are here next week. Regan too. Unless one of them try something else.”

 

Christina: “Of course.”

 

Mr. D: “And get Jake and Tommy in here. They wanted to talk to me. I think now would be a good time to talk.”

 

Christina: “Done.”

 

Mr. D: “Thanks.”

 

Christina then turns and heads off as Mr. D just looks at the monitor before sitting down. He just shakes his head.

 

Mr. D: “Two headaches gone. More just starting.”

 

Mr. D sighs as we cut away.

We then cut backstage again as we see Leviticus jump up from the bottom of the screen.

 

Leviticus: “It is I! The Sultan of Social Media, the Architect of Accredited Capitalism, the Czar of the Sales Call, Leviticus! And I’m back…”

 

Leviticus then looks around.

 

Leviticus: “Okay, so I’ve been told that the Ace Marshall Championship Edition Inflatable Buddy has already been taken off the shelves. Apparently, it was false advertising. The inflation nipple was GROSSLY exaggerated. BUT!”

 

Leviticus smiles.

 

Leviticus: “I know what you’re all thinking…you’d like to experience the Blake Mason Experience yourself! Well have no fear…because I bring to you….”

 

Leviticus then grabs a box from off camera.

 

Leviticus: “FAKE MASON!”

 

Leviticus then puts the box down and pulls out a couple of test tubes and a cooler with a biohazard symbol on it.

 

Leviticus: “You take everything out and make sure immediately upon getting your FAKE MASON Cloning Kit you put it in the fridge because you take the contents of this cooler and use it to make your own Blake Mason. Please be advised, it could become attracted to vain individuals and have an unhealthy obsession with Perfect women. But that’s fine…he may also come with some amount of money! WHO KNOWS! Order FAKE MASON today!”

 

We then hear a crash off camera and money flies into  view.

 

Leviticus: “Hmm….results may GREATLY vary.”

 

Leviticus then smiles as the scene fades out.

Autumn Valentine vs. Jinn

 

The lights dim slightly and the spotlights point down at the stage as the fans quieten in expectation. A woman whispering can be heard across the PA system.

“Don’t bless me father, for I have sinned...”

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless begins playing across the PA system as the fans boo. After a few seconds Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage with a smile on her face, standing in the middle of the spotlights for a moment before spinning around and holding out her arms downward, revealing the words “DARK FANTASY” on the back of her ring jacket.

Sinfully Seductive

Autumn spins back around, seemingly enjoying the negative crowd reaction. She stands for a moment before looking back over her shoulder. She then begins to head to the ring. Once at ringside Autumn jumps up on the ring entrance.

Sharper: "Autumn Valentine coming out now for what was supposed to be a match up against Jinn. Ryan Watson is noticably absent."

Knots: "Word is no one has heard from or seen anything of the former United States Champion. Good riddance I say! We have enough weirdos to contend with!"

The fans boo louder as Autumn now ascends the ropes in the corner, standing on the middle rope once again soaking in their reaction. She flips back out of the corner, spinning around and landing on her feet. She turns to ringside where she is handed a microphone. She smiks before stepping toward the center of the ring, her music cutting off and the lights returning to normal before she looks up toward a camera.

Autumn: "Calm down, everyone! I am more than happy to come out here and do only what I do best against those I'm scheduled against but... It seems as if Jinn didn't make it in tonight."

More boos can be heard coming from the crowd.

Autumn: "Yes, I know! What a coward! Where oh where did the one called Jinn ever go? Maybe Christopher Lloyd took him back to the future. Who really knows? The better question is who am I then going to fight? I mean, it's not like that match was going to amount to much anyway. Maybe I can get someone better? A step up perhaps. It's what I came dressed for. It's why I'm here! Does anyone, anyone at all have it in them to step out and-"

Suddenly she is interrupted as "Numb" by Linkin Park begins to play throughout the arena. The fans erupt in cheers THE GOLDEN MOMENT is shown flashing over the screen.

Sharper: "The Golden Moment? Is this Jay Gold? He may be looking to accept the challenge! We may be getting a rematch from Rise to Greatness!"

Knots: "Quit while you're just one step behind!"

A figure steps out dressed entirely in gold from the trunks to the long sleeve tight spandex shirt, gloves and mask. Everything is gold outside of his mid cut brown hair. He points down to Autumn before shaking his finger back and forth no!

Sharper: "Sorry folks, that- That isn't Jay Gold. I think we found Ryan Watson."

Knots: "No Adam, it's The Golden Moment! With a cutting edge look! He looks ready to really bring the challenge to Autumn here tonight!"

Autumn shakes her head while stomping a foot down before making a motion, pushing The Golden Moment back.

Autumn: "Golden Moment? I'll defeat all of The Golden Moments! I don't care how many of you there are! Didn't one suffer enough humiliation? Don't do this!"

The Golden Moments shakes his head before sliding into the ring. He walks over and climbs the turnbuckle before raising his arms, before awkwardly shaking his hips.

Sharper: "This is ridiculous."

Knots: "Adam! Pay attention! The Golden Moment does a little dance!"

The Golden Moment climbs down from the corner before turning and looking dead at Autumn. She sighs before dropping the microphone, kicking it aside. A referee enters the ring before calling for the bell. The Golden Moment immediately runs over before Autumn throws her arm up and shoves him back. The Golden Moment falls flat on his back and rolls backward on the mat three times before falling into a sitting position at the corner.

Knots: "What strength!"

Sharper: "Please."

The Golden Moment looks up shocked before shaking his head. Standing up with a new look of determination he runs forward only to be caught with a high kick to the face. He does a complete flip in mid air before hitting the mat, where he seems to be convulsing.

Knots: “Autumn is dominating here at the start, come on Golden Moment! Get up!”

Sharper: “This is just a joke.”

The Golden Moment goes to stand but has his arm grabbed before Autumn goes to apply an armbar. The Golden Moment immediately dives over onto the bottom rope while pleading for a time out. He shakes his head profusely, Autumn beckoning for him to stand. The crowd continues to boo before The Golden Moment finally stands up tall. He grabs a hold of the rope and uses it to hold onto while leaning all the way back while stretching.

Knots: “Gold has never looked better!”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

He steps over before suddenly lunging at her. Autumn side steps it before grabbing one of his wrists and twisting it back. The Golden Moment yells out as she grabs his hand and suddenly begins to twist his thumb. He drops to his knees and starts screaming from the apparent pain. The referee glances around awkward when suddenly The Golden Moment begins to tap out with his free hand. He taps furiously as the referee calls for the bell.

Knots: “What can I say other than The Golden Moment gave it his all But it just wasn't enough?”

Sharper: “This whole thing was just a ruse, I'm sorry everyone. Jinn was scheduled to be here tonight but unfortunately no one has seen him and now we have Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson-”

Knots: “His name is The Golden Moment!”

“Until the day I die” begins to play suddenly as Jay Gold is shown running out from the back. The crowd begins to roar as Autumn and The Golden Moment both look up before hastily rolling out of the ring while Jay slides in.

Sharper: “Now there is the real Golden Moment!”

Knots: “Go away, Jay!”

Gold runs across the ring before leaning over the top rope, glaring down at the two of them. The crowd continues to cheer on as Autumn sticks her tongue out at him, The Golden Moment pats her on the shoulders as the two start to walk around the ring, continuing to watch Jay. The crowd roars as he suddenly slides out of the ring. He lunges at the duo and manages to grab a hold of the mask of The Golden Moment before ripping it off. The unmasked man puts his hands up to his face as the pair slide back before running off. Autumn continues to taunt Jay as he gives chase after them as they make it backstage. The scene fades away as the crowd continue to cheer Jay on.

“Immortals” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up. We then see a still of Taylor Chase hitting the TKO on Shaun Cruze at Rise to Greatness.

 

Sharper: “Well next, we’ll hear from Taylor Chase. We know she’ll have plenty to say about Rise to Greatness. She’ll join us…next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown opens up backstage as we see Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine walking out of the office of Mr. D. Christina walks out with them.

 

Christina: “We’ll draw up the paperwork.”

 

Tommy: “Great.”

 

Starr: “That’s an interesting turn of events. It’s weird not being the one who’s pissed off the boss.”

 

Tommy: “Yeah…And I don’t have to worry about you doing that.”

 

Starr: “Hey!”

 

Tommy: “Just curious, Christina…anything planned for Sisterhood…after what-“

 

Christina stops them.

 

Christina: “Can’t say. That’s up to him.”

 

Tommy: “Alright well-“

 

Just then, Laura Steinbeck storms over to them.

 

Laura: “Is he in?”

 

Tommy and Jake just look at her.

 

Laura: “He’s in. I’m going-“

 

Christina: “He’s busy, Laura. He’s got the contract-“

 

Laura: “I’m not leaving until he signs it. We know damn well Sienna deserves it and there’s no argument.”

 

Starr: “We’ll see ourselves out. “

 

Starr turns and walks off as Tommy does too.

 

Christina: “He’ll get to you when he can.”

 

Laura: “Better be soon. He’s keeping the management for his FUTURE on hold.”

 

Christina: “Yeah…got it.”

 

Laura: “Don’t sass me!”

 

Christina turns and grabs her phone, texting something before turning.

 

Christina: “He knows. He’ll be with you when he can.”

 

Christina then walks off. Laura just glares at her as she turns to the office door which remains closed.

"Boss's Daughter" by Pop Evil blast throughout the arena as Taylor Chase comes out. She stands on the entrance way and poses to the fans as they take pictures of her. Taylor slowly walks down to the ring as she smirks at the fans.

 

Sharper: “Taylor Chase received some measure of revenge. She got to watch Blake Mason and Shaun Cruze destroy each other while she determined when it would end and both were left bloody and battered.”

 

Knots: “She also got a few shots in on both. Taking opportunities to attack both to remind them that she is going to take her shots. She left Shaun Cruze lying with the TKO. She had a good night at Rise to Greatness.”

She gets up on the apron and slowly straddles the ropes as she gets in the ring. Taylor then walks to the corner and climbs to the second buckle to pose. She looks around and smiles a bit as she jumps down. She then turns and walks over to the corner and grabs a microphone from the apron. She turns back to the middle of the ring and the crowd roars as Taylor Chase looks around the Air Canada Centre.  

Taylor: “Rise to Greatness was a lot of fun.”

 

Taylor says with a smile as she looks around and the crowd roars.

 

Taylor: “I got to stand in the middle of the ring while two people who frankly deserved karma to bite them in the ass went at it…and I got to play karma.”

 

Taylor looks around as the crowd cheers.

 

Taylor: “Blake…I hope you got the hint. Because if you go after my stepson again, I will make sure that you will live to regret that decision. But for now, I got what I wanted out of you and hopefully Shaun did too.”

 

Taylor pauses for a moment as the crowd boos a bit.

 

Taylor: “I say that…because I have something still to say to Shaun.”

 

The crowd roars some more.

 

Taylor: “See, it felt good to be able to give you a taste of your own medicine. You weren’t quite helpless, but you weren’t in a position to fight back and for me to be able to make you feel just a sliver like I did when you put your hands on me, that felt damn good.”

 

Taylor then lets out a bit of a smile.

 

Taylor: “But things have changed since Rise to Greatness. See that night, I wasn’t cleared to compete.”

 

Sharper: “Oh boy…”

 

The crowd cheers some more as Taylor looks up at the camera.

 

Taylor: “And I was forced to be the referee just so I could make sure karma bit you in the ass, but while I made that referee’s shirt look damn good, I prefer my wrestling tights, my wrestling boots and my ability to kick your ass encumbered!”

 

Taylor looks right at the camera.

 

Taylor: “Well, three weeks have passed. The non-compete window after my pregnancy has passed and guess what, I’m ready and cleared for Apocalypse.”

 

More roars from the crowd.

 

Knots: “She’s going to call him out!”

 

Taylor: “Now I saw your little tweet where you said you’d never face me, Shaun. Shaun…you lost having any say in the matter when you put your hands on me. You don’t get to say you’re not going to do a damn thing when you did that. You don’t get ANYTHING except everything you deserve and I’ve already got it signed. Mr. D gave me the match. Apocalypse…Shaun…I’m going to personally kick your ass!”

 

Taylor steps back as the crowd roars. “Boss’ Daughter” starts to play and Taylor turns and hands off the microphone. She then turns back to the middle of the ring.

 

Sharper: “It’s official! For Apocalypse! Shaun Cruze will face Taylor Chase!”

 

Knots: “Taylor wants it. She wants revenge and she’s going to get it in two and a half weeks! Shaun can’t say anything about it!”

 

Taylor Chase poses in the middle of the ring, enjoying the reaction from the fans. She looks around and remains in the ring before going to the corner and climbing up to the middle turnbuckle and looking around.

We then open up backstage. We see Shaun Cruze with his hands in his face. Angyalka Cruze is with him. We then see Jessica Winters knocking on the door. Shaun looks up as Jessica walks in.

 

Jessica: “I’ve been asked to get your reaction.”

 

Jessica extends the microphone to Shaun as Angyalka looks at him.

 

Shaun: “I don’t have much of a choice. But if anyone thinks I’d get any joy from any of this…if anyone doesn’t think I’ve beaten myself up enough for what was one really bad mistake…one really bad moment of frustration…”

 

Shaun pauses for a moment.

 

Shaun: “But if this gives her closure and SCW is going to sanction it….she’s right. I’m not in a position to disagree….”

 

Shaun stops for a moment before turning to Angyalka briefly.

 

Shaun: “I said I’ll make amends. If this is what Taylor wants, she’ll get it and at Apocalypse….well….I guess I’m going to have to be there.”

 

Shaun then takes a deep breath and looks back at the monitor.

 

Angyalka: “I think that’s what you came for. Do you mind if we have the room to ourselves again?”

 

Jessica steps back. She turns and walks off as the camera focuses on Shaun, who continues to look uncomfortable as the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

The scene opens up backstage as we see flashing lights, going from red to green to blue and back to red in the background. We see a haze of smoke around as we then pan out to show Giovanni Aries looking around. He just chuckles a bit and he doesn’t look at the camera, seemingly just looking out into the distance.

 

Aries: “So the fight is only going to get harder…people are asking questions. I may have said too much. But people need to know. The exploits of the Lizard King are starting to stand in the way of the Wonderland too much….People must know.”

 

Aries takes a deep breath.

 

Aries: “The Lizard King has struck again and again. I have been able to deal with the fire breather, but little did I know that was a false flag. A warning shot to lure me out into the open. I have to be more careful. But I learn that just too late. Opportunity kept away from me. I couldn’t be one of the many who took flight all for the person of shiny, shiny things.”

 

Aries looks down and shakes his head. He then lifts his hand up, revealing a cigarette in his hand and he takes a drag from it.

 

Aries: “I instead had to be so brazen. So headstrong…and in the process, I have cost Merrick Wiseman his job.”

 

Aries turns a bit.

 

Aries: “You went to the fuzz to get us help when the Lizard King can be destroyed with my two hands. You know that. You know I will spill his blood if he threatens me. NOTHING can threaten the Wonderland!”

 

Aries calms down briefly and then takes another drag of his cigarette. He blows the smoke out.

 

Aries: “At least I was able to make sure that I would not be given obstacles, hampering my message, hampering my Wonderland. The cop may have been killed. And the risk may have put me in greater danger. The Lizard King has his eyes and ears all around. And I will now be a marked man….He cannot divert me by stopping me from taking flight….”

 

The camera then pans out to reveal the briefcase Merrick Wiseman pulled down from the Rise to Greatness Scaffold Scramble.

 

Aries: “The End of the World will be fun.”

 

Aries chuckles a bit as he seems to lean back, zoning out a bit. He starts to stroke the briefcase as the lights continue to flash behind him and the scene cuts away.

We then open up to see Lexy Chapel standing by one of the monitors backstage. She’s eying it before trying to think of how to gently pivot to the camera. She then elects a different tactics, turning abruptly to the camera.

 

Lexy: “Breaking news here on the Chapel Show! Merrick Wiseman’s briefcase is apparently in the hands of one Giovanni Aries. Is it actually the briefcase or an elaborate ruse? Did Wiseman give it to Aries if not? Will SCW recognize it if it is? THESE are the NEW tough questions that MUST have answers and I will now find them.”

 

Lexy then turns and bolts down the hallway.

 

Cameraman: “Not again.”

 

The cameraman runs after Lexy as Lexy turns and continues to run down the hallway. She jumps up and stops, sliding to a stop and bumping into Christina Matsui. Matsui nearly falls over.

 

Lexy: “Oh…uh…sorry.”

 

The cameraman slows down and to a stop, being far more careful.

 

Christina: “Lexy…what do you want?”

 

Lexy: “The TRUTH!”

 

Lexy stops for a moment.

 

Lexy: “That sounded more confrontational that I wanted…so uh…Giovanni Aries has Wiseman’s briefcase. Is SCW going to recognize it? Do you know if it’s true?!”

 

Christina: “What are you talking about?”

 

Lexy: “Giovanni Aries. Just had a promo-“

 

Christina: “I think I need to go talk to D-“

 

Christina goes to turn, but Lexy stops her.

 

Lexy: “But we need answers! The fans NEED answers!”

 

Christina: “Let go of my arm.”

 

Lexy lets go.

 

Lexy: “Oh…sorry.”

 

Lexy looks at Christina a bit sheepishly.

 

Lexy: “So…answers?’

 

Christina: “When we have something to say, SCW will officially announce it.”

 

Christina then turns and walks off as Lexy turns to the camera.

 

Lexy: “Well, there you have it. Giovanni Aries has Merrick Wiseman’s briefcase and answers WILL be coming! Hopefully on the Chapel Show….I mean…I’ll make it super special? Right? Right?!”

 

Cameraman: “Uh-huh.”

 

Lexy smiles.

 

Lexy: “Back to ring-”

 

We then see someone running up to Christina. Lexy stops and turns.

 

Lexy: “Hey wait!”

 

The camera turns to reveal that person to be Dylan Howell, getting huge cheers from the crowd.

 

Dylan: “Hey! Boss lady! I need to talk to the Boss Man! There’s an Adrenaline Championship tournament next week and I am not in it. That seems just wrong. I love Addy! It’s my baby. Come on!”

 

Christina: “Dylan…look, we went with-“

 

Dylan: “I’m the epitome of Adrenaline! Come on! Take me to him.”

 

Christina: “He’s busy.”

 

Dylan: “But it’s me. Dylan! Come on! He’ll understand.”

 

Dylan then turns and drags Christina off as Lexy just watches.

 

Lexy: “A new twist! WHAT ELSE WILL HAPPEN ON THE CHAPEL SHOW?! Well…we’ll just have to find out, won’t we?”

 

Lexy smiles.

 

Lexy: “So much breaking news. Back to ringside!”

 

Knots: “Oh God…Dylan Howell’s back!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know if he’ll enjoy talking to the boss or not. Or even get an audience!”

Edward Adams in action

 

The opening to “Man In Motion/St Elmo’s Fire” by John Parr starts to play, bringing a lukewarm negative reaction from the crowd. With the opening lyrics, “300P” Edward Adams struts out on top of the ramp, looking out over the crowd with a face absolutely awash of arrogance – he knows he’s great, and is completely deaf to the reactions of the crowd. As the lyrics continue at a low tone, he makes his way down towards the ring.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Vancouver, British Columbia, he is 300 Proof, Edward Adams!”

He jumps onto the apron from the floor, holding onto the top rope with one arm, hanging by one arm and one leg over the floor. The crowd continues to jeer while he jaws at them before pulling himself into the ring. He moves to the corner, motioning to pull himself onto the ropes, but opts not to, only drawing further ire from the fans. We then cut to see a man in the ring, dressed in white and black tights.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Oshawa, Ontario, he is Jake Tagger!”

 

Tagger throws his arms in the air, getting some cheers from the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Edward Adams first appeared at Rise to Greatness, bursting into Simon Lyman’s locker room. He then insulted Trinity Street and Cailey Carter.”

 

Knots: “A surefire way to wake up with your foot actually shoved up your own ass.”

 

Sharper: “But some people have suggested that he was more than just an annoyance. Donovan Kayl was found attacked shortly after. No one knows what happened and some people backstage are suggesting Adams attacked Kayl and then had some desire to mess with Lyman to just see how long it would all take.”

 

Knots: “Either way, we’ll see what he can do in the ring here tonight in Toronto.”

 

Adams looks around as he looks at Tagger. He just smirks a bit as the bell sounds. He then walks over and extends his hand to shake Tagger’s. Tagger looks at it and goes to shake it, but Adams then smacks him across the jaw with his other hand. The crowd ohs. Adams turns and smirks before looking around. He then turns back to Tagger who suddenly spears him back into the corner. The crowd roars. Tagger rears back and nails him again and again and again with shoulder thrusts. Tagger steps back and pulls Adams out and whips him across the ring. Adams hits the corner and Tagger runs at him and nails him with a clothesline. Adams pops up and drops down and rolls to the floor. He backs away from the ring and falls to his hands and knees. He scrambles to his feet. (1)

 

Sharper: “Adams did the wrong thing. He just pissed off Jake Tagger!”

 

Knots: “Tagger tagged and now he’s just drilled Adams with a huge clothesline. Adams is trying to figure out what province he’s in!”

 

Tagger turns and goes after Adams as Adam gets up and runs around the ring. (1) The crowd roars as Adams runs around the ring. (2) Adams slides in and gets up, staggering to his feet. Taggers hops onto the apron and then steps through the ropes, but Adams runs over and kicks the middle rope, causing it to rebound up in a sensitive spot. The crowd ohs and Tagger rolls over. He gets up and Adams then clubs him in the back and then again before grabbing him and placing Tagger’s face against the top rope and runs it along the top rope. Tagger spins out and rolls over. Adams walks around and then grabs Tagger by the hair. He pulls him up as the referee warns him and he then gutwrenches him up and hits a gutbuster. The crowd ohs and Tagger rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Adams taking advantage of the opening he’s created. Now punishing Jake Tagger.’

 

Knots: “He just used the ring to his advantage. That’s all.”

 

Tagger starts to get up and Adams kicks him in the ribs and pushes him into the corner. Adams then nails him with a back elbow and pushes Tagger down to the mat. Adams looks at him and runs his boot across Tagger’s face. He runs it across again before doing it a third time. He then runs along the ropes, bounces off and nails Tagger with a running boot. The crowd ohs. Tagger rolls over and Adams drags him out to the middle of the ring and then stands on him, holding his arm up.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Tagger kicks out. The crowd roars. Adams looks down. He then stomps Tagger in the face. He then pulls him up and starts to pull him up. He then spins him into the corner.

 

Sharper: “Adams getting cocky here. But Jake Tagger still fighting.”

 

Knots: “Adams should be careful. Tagger nearly knocked him for a loop to start this!”

 

Sharper: “Here comes Adams looking to finish this off!”

 

Adams walks across the ring and turns and runs at the corner and jumps up for a running knee, but Tagger dodges and Adams hits the corner and backs up and Tagger jumps up and hits a neckbreaker. He turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Adams kicks out just in time. The crowd ohs as Tagger looks around. He turns to the official as he just says it was two. Adams rolls over and goes to the ropes. Tagger turns and goes over to him and grabs him. He then pulls him up and tries to go for a German suplex. Adams however grabs at the ropes. The referee tells Tagger to let go and Adams hits a mule kick. Tagger turns back, collapsing to his knees. Adams then grabs him in a double underhook before starting to elbow him in the side of the head. He starts slow before starting to pick up the pace as Tagger just collapses, only being held up by Adams. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Over and over. Those elbows! And Tagger can’t protect himself.”

 

Knots: “He’s not stopping either!”

 

Adams gets a few more in before Tagger starts to wave his hand as the crowd boos a bit. The referee calls for the bell to sound. It does and Adams throws Tagger down. He then looks down and backs up before looking around confidently. His music plays.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Edward Adams!”

 

Adams has his arm raised as he then looks around and then starts to go to the corner. Just then, we see Donovan Kayl walking out from the back. Rachel Foxx is a few feet behind him as the crowd cheers loudly for both of them. They head to the ring and Adams looks around before then turning and demanding a microphone. Rachel Foxx and Donovan Kayl reach the ring as Adams is handed the microphone. Kayl enters the ring. Foxx enters in after as the official checks on Tagger.

 

Adams: “Whoa! Whoa! Hold it!’

 

Adams turns, his hand up. Kayl stands a foot away from him. Rachel Foxx stands with him.

 

Adams: “Look, I know you’ve probably got the murderous rage and all, given that you have Rachel Foxx here who is in the hall of fame for that.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Adams: “And while her wrinkles are showing, I didn’t realize Simon wasn’t just doing a harem gimmick and I didn’t know the guy was retiring. Look, I got a lot on the go. As you can see here, I have a pretty good wrestling career coming up-“

 

Kayl then grabs the microphone from Adams. Adams backs up and falls to a knee.

 

Kayl: “Shut the hell up.”

 

The crowd roars. Kayl then leans over him.

 

Kayl: “Now I don’t care about your career. I don’t care even about those pathetic insults. I don’t care about how ignorant you are. I care about one thing. On a night where it was suppose to celebrate my best friend’s final night in the business, instead of enjoying a nice steak and a good beer, he was wondering if I had a concussion because some coward attacked me from behind!”

 

Kayl then looks at Adams.

 

Kayl: “And on top of that, his daughter had to be there for it all too. And you then show up just before then, almost as if they were looking to distract or buy time or I don’t know, but what I do know is that you showed up out of nowhere and I was attacked from behind and I don’t think it’s a far stretch to think that a snivelling, arrogant jackass like you would see attacking me as a surefire way to make sure you are noticed!”

 

Adams just shakes his head, waving his hands. He can be seen saying “I had nothing to do with it! Nothing! Honest!” He even does the sign of the cross.

 

Kayl: “So Ed…I’m going to call you Ed. Are you grovelling here right now because you’re hoping I’m not going to kick your ass or is it just because you actually had nothing to do with it and it was just a convenient coincidence? What does everyone here think?”

 

The crowd roars as Adams looks around before yelling at the crowd, “Hey!” Rachel can be seen just smiling, almost licking her lips.

 

Kayl: “Perhaps I should get someone’s opinion who also has a personal connection to Simon, his half-sister…so Rachel, how do you feel about Ed-“

 

Kayl turns to Rachel and just then Rachel grabs him and pulls him into a backbreaker before hitting the Suicide Note. Rachel rolls over. The crowd ohs and then boos, while many just look on shocked.

 

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx?! Why?! She just hit Donovan Kayl with the Suicide Note!”

 

Knots: “I guess she didn’t think Adams did it?!”

 

Sharper: “But why is she attacking Kayl!”

 

Adams just turns and promptly rolls out of the ring. Adams turns and looks at Rachel before turning and grabbing Jason Phillips and pulling him away, grabbing the chair and holding it up for her.

 

Adams: “Peace offering!”

 

Rachel just looks at Adams and then grabs the chair before throwing it down. She steps through the ropes and down to the floor as Edward Adams backs off and jogs around the ring. Rachel turns and looks under the ring.

 

Sharper: “Peace offering…that Edward Adams looking to avoid getting his head taken off!”

 

Knots: “What’s she looking for-“

 

Rachel then pulls out a sledgehammer as the crowd roars. Many boo, while many make noise, yelling at Donovan Kayl to get up. Kayl slowly gets up to his hands and knees as Rachel Foxx rolls back into the ring with it. Kayl slowly gets up, staggering, trying to regain his balance as he gets up and Rachel runs over and kicks him hard in the ribs. Kayl rolls over. He then looks up and sees Rachel Foxx. Foxx then looks at Kayl. She has no smirk on her face, just pure anger as she looks down at Kayl. The crowd boos and Foxx then lifts the hammer up and goes for the chest, but Kayl covers up and Foxx immediately turns and breaks it down across Kayl’s thigh. Kayl yells out as Kayl rolls over. Foxx then backs as Kayl rolls over and tries to get to the ropes, trying to get up, in order to get to his feet and defend himself in any way.

 

Sharper: “The sledgehammer! The sledgehammer to the thigh! No!”

 

Knots: “To the same leg Bree Lancaster went after a couple of months ago!”

 

Sharper: “Kayl’s trying to get up. Get out of the ring!”

 

Knots: “He’s trying to fight! He’s trying to defend himself!”

 

Kayl pulls himself up as Rachel looks at the sledgehammer. She then shakes her head as the crowd boos, still looking on stunned as Kayl turns and limps forward and Rachel sidesteps him and swings the sledgehammer, nailing him in the back of the same leg. Kayl falls to the mat and rolls over, yelling in pain. Rachel then looks at Kayl before placing the sledgehammer back across her shoulder.

 

Sharper: “Another shot! Kayl is hurt!”

 

Knots: “But why the hell did Rachel do this? Is she the one who attacked Kayl at Rise to Greatness?”

 

Sharper: “I just thought of this. She was the one who found him too. She was the one who called for help…She wasn’t in the locker room with Simon Lyman either.”

 

Rachel Foxx just looks down at Kayl. She then shakes her head, almost as if she’s disappointed at Kayl. She then turns and drops down to the mat and rolls to the floor. Kayl yells in pain, holding his knee. The official for the match, who had refused to enter, not wanting to cross Rachel Foxx, slides in and checks on Kayl. He then calls for help as Rachel Foxx slowly heads to the back. The crowd boos her as we then cut away.

We then open up backstage to see Mr. D walk out of his office. He can be seen a bit annoyed as he’s on his phone.

 

Mr. D: “Get to the trainer’s room and get an update. As soon as you get him there. Just another-“

 

Laura Steinbeck then storms over to Mr. D.

 

Laura: “I am done waiting. This show is almost over-“

 

Mr. D holds his hand up.

 

Mr. D: “Just get back to me.”

 

He hangs up the phone.

 

Mr. D: “You’d think you’d be more respectful after your naivete before-“

 

Laura: “And I think you’d be more respectful to your future top star in this sport. I have been waiting all night and those fans deserve to see their beautiful angel, but you know damn well what she should get. I am not leaving until I have that contract signed-“

 

Mr. D: “Then come with me.”

 

Mr. D starts to walk off.

 

Laura: “Where are you going?”

 

Mr. D: “To the ring. If she wants to make her God damned appearance, get her coming. Hope your damn paparazzi aren’t late.”

 

Laura glares a bit before pulling out her phone. She makes a call. The camera follows her as she follows Mr. D.

 

Laura: “London….get Sienna ready. We’re going to find out whether D is a man of his word, but not matter what, make sure no one is looking at anything else but her. She’s the star…Send to the ring.”

 

Laura hangs up and walks off. As she does, we see Dylan Howell in the background, looking around before running in the opposite direction.

 

Sharper: “Looks like we’re going to find out something regarding Sienna Swann and maybe a Women’s Title rematch-“

 

Knots: “This is gonna be good…and look amazing too!”

 

Sharper: “What is Dylan doing…”

 

Knots: “Shhh! Focus on Sienna!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We return to a live shot of the outside of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The crowd cheers seeing it.

 

Sharper: “We are here live, the first Breakdown after Rise to Greatness. A huge night as is so far. Still to come, the SCW World Championship on the line. Ace Marshall defends his newly won title against Selena Frost!”

 

Knots: “Yeah and they are hot here in Toronto.”

 

We then cut to the inside of the arena to see Mr. D walking down to the ring and walking up the steel steps. He steps into the ring as Laura Steinbeck walks out and stops halfway down the rampway before “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play. The crowd erupts in boos as a golden hue comes across the stage. Mr. D walks around the ring as Laura Steinbeck smiles. A few moments pass before we see Sienna Swann walking out from back wearing a red cocktail dress, complete with heels. She also has ruby red lips, clearly dressed to kill. The Truelove Twins walk out with her and show her off as Sienna Swann looks around the arena.

 

Knots: “Hot damn!”

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann wants to draw all the attention to her. She may not be holding gold. She may not be the most beautiful dual champion as she frequently said, but she is going to make sure she owns the room.”

 

Knots: “That’s what a star does Sharper!”

 

Sharper: “With the team behind her, refocused on making her a focal point, that’s all well and good, but it has to be eating her away that Ravyn Taylor has derailed her rise over the last two months. Sienna Swann wants that rematch. And Mr. D has a big announcement apparently.”

 

Swann then starts to walk down to the ring as the Truelove Twins wait a few moments before then walking behind her, guarding her flank. Laura Steinbeck smiles as Mr. D has a microphone in his hand. Sienna Swann walks down to the ring and over to the ring. She walks up the steel steps. She enters the ring. Laura Steinbeck walks around the ring and is handed a microphone. She turns and walks up the steel steps and into the ring. The Truelove Twins also enter the ring. Sienna Swann stands in the middle of the ring, intentionally even ignoring Mr. D. Laura then walks over and hands her the microphone. Sienna then slowly turns and looks at Mr. D. Her music fades out as Sienna then looks at the boss.

 

Sienna: “Don’t worry. Your Angel is here.”

 

Mr. D just nods as the crowd boos.

 

Mr. D: “Well that’s great. Because we only then have half the picture-“

 

Sienna: “No. You have the whole picture. You do not need to include her out here. She is merely holding onto my property and your plans to bring it back to me…that’s not something she needs to be out here for.”

 

Mr. D: “Well I disagree. So Ravyn Taylor…please join us.”

 

The crowd roars. Sienna just turns away, clearly annoyed. A few moments pass before darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes.

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

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

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

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face. She then glances back and we see CHBK walk out from the back with Ravyn. Ravyn just smiles as the crowd erupts in cheers. Sienna just rolls her eyes.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor is coming out here, but not alone. CHBK is with her.”

 

Knots: “And after earlier, this is a bit of mind games. CHBK siding with Syren and her. Not Regan Street. Not Mikaela Street. Not Sienna Swann’s allies!”

 

Ravyn Taylor walks down to the ring, proudly holding the SCW Women’s and Television Championships. CHBK walks behind her as Ravyn Taylor walks over to the ring. The crowd continues to cheer her as Ravyn walks up the steel steps. She then climbs up to the middle rope and holds up both titles as Sienna just glares at her. Ravyn just smiles as the crowd cheers. Ravyn steps down and enters the ring. CHBK then pulls himself onto the apron and enters into the ring. Ravyn Taylor places the titles back on her shoulders. Ravyn steps forward and just smirks, looking right at Sienna, who just glares at her. CHBK stands behind Ravyn as the crowd continues to look on, making noise. Mr. D even looks at CHBK as CHBK and him share a brief nod. Mr. D then turns to Sienna, who immediately notices that.

 

Sienna: “You’re going to screw me out of it. That’s why he’s here. Screwed someone who was doing something that needed to be done so someone like me wouldn’t need to worry about getting past someone who some people have an unhealthy liking of.”

 

Mr. D: “Sienna…just stop it. I’m not screwing you out of anything.”

 

Sienna just looks at him as Mr. D looks at Ravyn briefly before turning to Sienna.

 

Mr. D: “In fact, I’ll start this off with something that’s going to be no surprise. I’m going to give you your rematch for the Women’s Championship!”

 

The crowd roars as Sienna then smiles.

 

Sienna: “Good…good.”

 

Mr. D: “But that’s the simple part. See, there’s a reason I want both of you out here. I don’t want any misunderstanding about what I am going to announce. Because yes, Sienna, you get your rematch at the Women’s Championship against Ravyn Taylor at Apocalypse…but it will the last time that match ever takes place.”

 

The crowd roars as Ravyn smirks. Sienna just turns to Ravyn with a confident smile.

 

Sienna: “I’ll need the one match.”

 

Ravyn rolls her eyes.

 

Mr. D: “But it’s not because the two of you may never face again. In fact, I think that’s probably likely. Ravyn Taylor is a former World Champion. Sienna, you and Laura keep talking about how you’re the future of this sport. It’s only inevitable that you two will face again. You two will just never face again for the Women’s Championship.”

 

The crowd roars as Sienna and Ravyn keep looking at one another.

 

Mr. D: “With Kelcey Wallace just recently being the World Champion, Selena Frost getting her chance later tonight. Your trainer, Sienna, and someone you know very well Ravyn, in Brittany Lohan telling me earlier tonight she wants to aim high. Bree Lancaster saying it’s only a matter of time before she holds it. Katie Steward still complaining about how she is owed one. Oh…and I’ll mention Syren, Regan Street, Kennedy Street, Stacy Kissinger, Marie Jones and so on and so on for women who are aiming for the World Title or have held other titles in SCW….The Women’s Champion is no longer necessary.”

 

The crowd roars as Ravyn and Sienna just look at each other. Sienna looks a bit annoyed.

 

Mr. D: “See, at Apocalypse, you Ravyn will defend that title. A title that has been held by major stars in SCW history. Vixen Star, Rachel Foxx, Katie Steward, Lenne Perez, Syren, and both of you. And one of you will be the final person to hold it. At Apocalypse, you two will fight to determine the FINAL SCW Women’s Champion in its history.”

 

The crowd roars. Ravyn and Sienna just look at one another. Ravyn just smiles as Sienna points to the Women’s Championship.

 

Sharper: “The final Women’s Champion. Apocalypse…Ravyn and Sienna! One will leave with that accolade, but the Women’s Title will be no longer!”

 

Knots: “And both want the bragging rights! Ravyn just got the title and she was its death knell!”

 

Mr. D backs up and exits the ring. He then steps out of the ring. Sienna and Ravyn continue to jaw at one another. Mr. D walks around the ring and heads to the back. Sienna keeps pointing to the title as the crowd continues to look on and we cut away.

“Immortals” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still of Selena Frost vs. Ace Marshall for the SCW World Championship. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Next, it’s here. The main event. World Title on the line. Selena Frost faces Ace Marshall. It’s next on Breakdown here live in Toronto!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Selena Frost vs. Ace Marshall

SCW World Championship

 

"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, for TV time remaining, and is for the SCW World Championship! First, the challenger, 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: “Selena Frost managed to stand tall over Vixen Cain. She took the weight of SCW on her shoulders and managed to walk through the fires that Vixen Cain set and stood tall in the end. Now she hopes to regain the SCW World Championship.”

 

Knots: “She’s just got her own moral superiority now. She needs to get through that. But let’s not forget. Last time these two met, Selena Frost bailed. We don’t know who may be clicking at that higher register right now.”

 

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

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

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Houston, Texas, he is the reigning and defending SCW World Champion, the tamer of beasts and the gigolo of Las Vegas, Nevada, he is the man formally known as Manley Hardon, Ace Marshall!”

The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over it, landing inside the ring on her feet before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring just as Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway. He then hands the SCW World Championship to the official for the match, Senior Referee, Aaron Demitra. Demitra holds the title over his head as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. He then hands it off as Ace Marshall and Selena Frost look at one another. Cassidy Carter stands in Ace’s corner.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall, making his first defense.”

 

Knots: “And with Cassidy there. After what he said earlier. Cassidy wants the extra money. He’s got a month’s worth at least.”

 

Sharper: “But he wants more. Tonight, we’ve had a unique night for some of the matches. I hope that this is straight up. Kelcey Wallace is watching. It may all come down to what Cassidy Carter attempts to do at ringside.”

 

The bell sounds. Selena looks at Ace as Ace starts to mock her before yelling at her.
