I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams"

We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber.

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne running and attacking Regan Street in the ring.

"Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,
immor immortals
Immortals"

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

The scene then cuts to show the inside of PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as we see the lights turned out as spotlights circle the arena. We then cut to a shot of fans walking through the concourse in the building and then shots of some fans purchasing merchandise at one of the many stands.

Spirit: “We are in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Eleven days from Apocalypse and tonight, a huge six woman tag match caps us off.”

We cut to see a shot of the inside of the PPG Paints Arena as a video plays on the big screen. We then pan back from the shot to show the SCW Studios in Toronto and Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk.

Spirit: “Welcome inside to the SCW studios in Toronto. I’m Spirit Dansby with Shawn Winters. Tonight, it’s going to be a big night for a number of reasons, but most of all, a big night for the SCW World Championship.”

Winters: “You could ask how things are going to be bigger for Past, Present, Future, and especially the Beauty Factor subfaction. But tonight, we’ll see Sienna team with the Truelove Twins against Kennedy Street and Lohan Country and on top of that, two of those champions will be watching the monitors all night long. We’re hearing we’ll find out who will be facing bot the World and Tag Team Champions at Apocalypse.”

Spirit: “A lot of speculation as to who. Kennedy, Syren and Bree Lancaster have all been mentioned. But at the same time, we’ve heard that all three have significant issues that could be used to consider someone else. The question is who that someone else could be.”

Winters: “Kennedy and Syren were both pinned to lose the title. People point out that they could get a rematch, but in SCW, rematch clauses are always at the discretion of the boss. Bree’s the US champion and she may very well be defending her title.”

Spirit: “So then who could be up there?”

Winters: “That we don’t know. What we do know is that at Apocalypse, one crazy bastard is going to take on the face of SCW. Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries will fight and who knows what they’ll do tonight. Last week they launched each other off the stage!”

Spirit: “Giovanni Aries more unhinged than usual and Selena Frost needing to step up and try to stop him. We’ll see what happens there. TV title on the line tonight. Alexis Quinne gets her shot against Aaron Blackbourne, but also, Damian Angel made a call out to Donovan Kayl. Will he be here?”

Winters: “We don’t know. He may be, but we’ll find out. If not, Damian Angel made it clear that he’ll denote Donovan Kayl as a coward. But I’m more interested in Xander Valentine. Will he be in action? We’ve been told that he is in the building. He did arrive for a tryout, but will it happen and will it be televised?”

Spirit: “It’s a big night in Pittsburgh. We’ll see what will happen as we are eleven days from Apocalypse. And let’s go to Pittsburgh where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are standing by at ringside.”

The camera cuts to the video behind Spirit and Shawn to a panning shot of the inside of the PPG Paints Arena.

"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.

Sharper: “Thank you Spirit and Shawn. Adam Sharper here at ringside with Jonathan Knots and we’re kicking things off tonight with Selena Frost.”

Frost looks around as she starts to walk to the ring.

Sharper: “And last week, Selena Frost was the target of Giovanni Aries. At one point, Giovanni tried to pull her off the stage, but Selena held on and both went through some tables and wiring next to the stage. Could have been a lot worse.”

Knots: “Could’ve crashed to the floor. Selena’s walking now. Giovanni, I’ve heard, is too. And that’s just the second week where Giovanni has completely lost it.”

Selena Frost makes her way down to the ring before getting to the ringside area. She walks up the steel steps and along the apron before entering the ring. The spotlights rush in toward her as she looks out at the crowd. She walks over and grabs a microphone waiting for her. She turns back to the middle of the ring and looks arounds as her music fades out.

Selena: “Well Giovanni, I’m still standing and despite your best attempts, this ally, affiliate, whatever the hell you’re saying of the Lizard King is still here and ready to face you at Apocalypse.”

The crowd roars a bit.

Selena: “Oh wait…should I say Jules. That’s this dark form. This more driven alter-ego. The one who apparently wants to destroy. Well I’m sorry if I’ve heard this song and dance before but I’m sick of people claiming that this company needs something purged from it. I don’t even know what the hell is Lizard King crap is but if you’re insinuating that Mr. D is something that he’s not, I’ve got a problem with that as at the end of the day, he’s always given me his word.”

Selena paces a bit.

Selena: “And if I have to be the one who is going to end this ridiculousness, when it’s affected so many like Kennedy Street, like Ace, like the Adrenaline Division in 2017…I have no problem stepping up and being that person-“

Aries: “Always better when they don’t hide their true selves…”

Selena looks around as the crowd roars. We then see Giovanni Aries slowly walk out from the back, his eyes bloodshot as he looks down at the ring with a sinister smirk on his face.

Aries: “Always better to know when they’re happy to be a pawn.”

Selena: “Gio, if you think I’m just a pawn, then you’re proving that you’re just losing your touch and Jules is going to make sure you’re just going to come crashing down.”

Aries: “But it is what you are? You don’t doubt his words. You don’t doubt his words. Even when he strung you along. The man is a reptile…cold blooded and willing to do anything to enslave everyone’s desires for his own.”

Selena: “Believe that all you want. All I see is someone else who is making excuses for why they didn’t win the World Title at Rise to Greatness. You’re a great competitor, but you hit a brick wall in the form of Kennedy Street. I can stand here and say I had the same thing with Regan, as much as that pains me to say, but I’m not going to dare suggest Mr. D held me back.”

Aries: “That’s fine. See, if the timid jackass that normally comes out here was here, he’d offer you a chance at the Wonderland. I don’t offer anything. It’s clear you’re as dumb as you look and you’re going to stand in my way. So I GIVE you a warning. You have three seconds or I bury you in Pittsburgh tonight and the Lizard King can personally try to stop me!”

Selena: “Well Giovanni….sorry, Jules…no Lizard King is going to be needed, BELIEVE IT. Try and kick my ass!”

The crowd roars as Giovanni lets out a bit of a sinister chuckle before starting to make his way to the ring.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries and Selena Frost looking to continue where they left off.”

Knots: “Selena’s not backing down. Giovanni is looking for a fight.”

Sharper: “Giovanni with his alter-ego Jules, the more aggressive side of him…”

Giovanni Aries heads down to the ring and Selena Frost starts to get ready to fight in the ring. The crowd roars in anticipation. Giovanni Aries gets to the bottom of the rampway before officials and agents run out from the back. The crowd boos as Selenaw throws her arms up. Giovanni Aries starts to get to the ring before he’s pulled back. Immediately, he nails one official and then another. The other officials move in and the agents get in and pull him back. Dillusion even wraps his arms around Giovanni’s arms. Giovanni tries to get free. The crowd boos loudly.

Sharper: “And SCW’s officials and staff trying to stop this. Not going to have more of what they had last week.”

Knots: “You mean they don’t want more chaos?”

Sharper: “Apparently not!”

Giovanni keeps trying to get free as Selena just looks annoyed in the ring. She moves forward and tells the officials to let him go. Giovanni Aries keeps fighting as the officials continue to keep him back. The crowd continues to boo before we cut away.

Breakdown returns and we see Selena Frost walking to the office of Mr. D. She heads over to it and steps in.

Selena: “What was that?”

Mr. D looks up as Katya turns to her.

Selena: “I have no problem fighting him.”

Mr. D: “I know that. That’s why you have a match against him at Apocalypse. I have a problem with people thinking they can do what they want.”

Selena: “I was going to stop him anyway.”

Mr. D: “Maybe. But we’ll find out at Apocalypse in the ring.”

Selena shakes her head.

Selena: “You realize he’s going to think you’re protecting me? I don’t need that.”

Mr. D: “Let him. That’s not my concern.”

Selena sighs and turns and heads off. Mr. D and Katya watch her leave.

Jason Helms vs. Gigi Steward

The lights in the arena cut and the darkness remains for a moment before the intro of “Hated” by Beartooth starts to play over the PA system, the lyrics appearing on the big screen in time with the music.

“WHO KNEW YOU’D BE HATED FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE…
AND BE A BIG TARGET FOR ALL THE FOR ALL THE INSECURE…”

The crash of drums and the wail of guitars kick the song in properly and as the volume doubles a spotlight appears on the stage to show a smirking Jason Helms standing there with his arms out wide and the fans cheer at the sight of him. He throws his head back as Aniya Helms walks into the light and steps up in front of Jason, leaning her back into his stomach as she brings her arms up around his neck. Jason lowers his head again and Aniya steps forward for Jason to remove his jacket and he tosses it onto the floor, pausing only to slap his wife’s ass, before he sprints to the ring. 

Phillips: “The opening contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by his wife Aniya; he is the Jackass from New Jersey, fighting out of the Hollywood Hills, Jason Helms!”

Helms hits the ring and slides under the ropes, popping straight back up to his feet and scaling the turnbuckles to throw his arms out again as his wife makes her way to ringside with Jason’s jacket trailing from one hand. The fans cheer as Jason points at some of them from his position on the ropes before he turns and drops down into the corner, talking to Aniya as he sits and waits for the start of the match.

Sharper: “Jason Helms finally back on Breakdown after two weeks away.”

Knots: “And two weeks of having some fun at Bree’s expense.”

Sharper: “He may want to be a bit careful. Bree Lancaster said she would take care of him somehow last week. Obviously, nothing has happened, but we assumed when Jason turned up here at the arena, he’d have a target on his back.”

“Supreme” plays throughout the arena as the stage and video screen goes dark. Gigi’s video plays on the screen and she steps out on to the stage wearing a black leather with tiny metal spikes on it and also a bandana covering her face. She walks up to the center of the stage and stretches her arms out as the crowd boos. Maddy Steward walks out with her. Gigi begins her march to the ring walking with a purpose. Maddy follows. Gigi gets to ringside and rushes into the ring rolling inside. She marches to the corner and hops on the middle ropes and throws out her own hand sign to the fans. She then rips off the bandana and tosses it into the crowd. Gigi hops off the ropes and takes off her jacket setting it aside for ring crew to pick up and she gets ready for her match. Maddy settles in her corner.

Sharper: “Gigi Steward in action and we’re wondering what is going on with Bianca Evans apparently, the wrestler formally known as Lexi von Aaron.”

Knots: “Katie and her apparently getting along from what I’ve heard. You figure that out after Bianca returned by attacking Gigi and threatening Katie Steward!”

The bell sounds. Gigi then runs at Jason and kicks him in the ribs. She nails him again with another one before nailing him with a forearm shot and then another and another. Jason covers up in the corner and Gigi gets a couple more shots in. She nails him again and again.

Gigi rolls over on the floor.

Sharper: “Jason using his strength to get Gigi to the floor. Get some distance.”

Knots: “Think Bree talked to the Stewards.”

Sharper: “I don’t know. It’s possible. But again, no way of knowing this match would’ve been booked last week.”

Sam Raine & Crissy Gardner vs. Red Empire (Scarlet Grey & Ruby Amarant)

“Uncomfortable” by Halestorm starts to play and the crowd cheers a bit. A few moments pass before we see spotlights shine to the entrance way where Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner step out and look down at the ring. The crowd roars.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, from New York City, New York, she is the Serial Thrilla, Crissy Gardner and her partner, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, she is the Rogue Element, Sam Raine!”

The crowd cheers as Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner turn to one another and nod before starting to head down the rampway to the ring. They walk over to the squared circle and Sam walks around before hopping onto the apron. She looks in as Crissy pulls herself up onto the apron. Crissy goes to the corner as Sam steps into the ring. Crissy poses a bit as Sam watches the Stewards. Crissy hops onto the ring and steps back to the corner.

Sharper: “Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner looking to get to a winning way of things. It’s been a rough couple of weeks, but an opportunity to turn it around.”

Knots: “But against a returning and hungry team in Red Empire. We’ve seen Scarlet Grey the last few weeks. Seems to have something for Aaron Blackbourne, but we’ve not see Ruby Amarant yet.”

“Scarlet” by In This Moment begins to play as the entire arena in engulfed in red lighting, feeling so much like a thick red veil has overtaken the arena that it's suffocating. Through the smoke that begins to cover the stage, Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant slowly saunter out onto the stage hand-in-hand and hips bumping as they walk. Scarlet is notably wearing a trenchcoat. She just smiles as Ruby looks at her and shakes her head a bit.

Phillips: “And their opponents, from Parts Unknown, they are Ruby Amarant and Scarlet Grey, Red Empire!”

Scarlet slowly turns to Ruby with a smirk and slowly starts running a hand up and down her body, trying to intentionally shift some of the focus over to her as Ruby just smiles back at her, and when Scarlet rises back to full height the two share a brief but passionate kiss before they begin heading down to the ring, Scarlet catching the lingering gaze of some of the fans and winking to them as Ruby just keeps her smile, pleased that Scarlet's enjoying herself. As they reach ringside Scarlet slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes. She stops as she looks around. Ruby slides into the ring and gets up. Scarlet waits as Ruby looks around as Scarlet waits for the lights to return to normal, revealing that she’s covered her face in a red face-paint design. She removes her trenchcoat, revealing that she’s covered herself in a design, based in red, wearing nothing more than a sports-bra and small booty shorts. The crowd looks on.

Sharper: “Wait a minute! Scarlet Grey…”

Knots: “Not wearing much.”

Sharper: “That’s nothing new. She’s always liked to flaunt her body, but the bigger story is the body paint…reminiscent of Aaron Blackbourne and his creative demons.”

Knots: “Really looking to take their non-existent relationship to the next level!”

Scarlet steps down to the floor as Ruby turns to her. Scarlet just tells her to start. Scarlet then starts to look around as Ruby turns to Sam and Crissy. The bell sounds.

Crissy rolls through and tags in Sam.

Sharper: “Scarlet so distracted. Ruby doesn’t get the tag and in comes Sam Raine after Crissy hits the sidewalk slam.”

Knots: “That’s new. You’d think Scarlet would want him coming to him but she’s so focused on succeeding in this.”

Sharper: “A surprising development, but a win against Red Empire is a big win for Crissy and Sam. Getting back into the win column.”

Knots: “Putting the Tag division on notice. But Scarlet was distracted and Red Empire could be in trouble already in this return. At least Scarlet did a great job on the design.”

Sharper: “Jon…”

Knots: “What?!”

Sam Raine and Crissy continue to celebrate as Ruby looks at Scarlet as we cut away.

Open on the closed fist of Slayter McKinney banging on the office door of Mr. D. Hectic moments pass. Slayter is clearly frustrated. After moments of Slayter glaring impatiently, finally, from beyond the door comes the sound of Mr. D.

Mr. D: “Come in.”

Slayter rolls her eyes and barges in to the office.

Mr. D: “Ms. McKinney, I wasn’t—“

Slayter: “Alright, I want answers.”

Mr. D looks mildly stunned at the brazen entry, and seemingly perturbed fresh addition to the Breakdown roster. Katya, his daughter, looks on from the corner, looking up from her phone.

Mr. D: “Alright… what seems to be the problem, Slayter? I was under the impression you’d been given the show off?”

She’s half-frustrated, half ready to cry.

Slayter: “That’s the problem. Have I done something wrong?”

Mr. D looks momentarily confused.

Mr. D: “Not that I’m aware of.”

Slayter looks ready to hit something.

Slayter: “Then why? Why? Why have I been left off this card? Have I not made myself clear? Why I’m here? What I’m about?”

Mr. D: “I think—“

Slayter: “This is my LIFE, D. I’ve been waiting to slide into that ring for about as long as this company has existed. One match isn’t going to cut it. Give me an entire night’s worth of matches. Two nights. A week!”

Mr. D sputters a moment.

Mr. D: “Well I can’t just give you a night’s worth of matches-“

Slayter: “Why?”

She steps forward, pressing her palms against the desk looking like she’s being appraised and found wanting.

Mr. D: “Well, I mean you literally had your very first match as a member of SCW last week…”

Slayter: “I’ll put in all the time I need to. Fight whoever I need to fight. I’ll climb every ladder you put in front of me. Just give me that chance.”

She’s pleading. Mr. D can only look into her eyes unsure of how to respond. Katya just watches her father.

Mr. D: “Alright…I…I’ll book you for the next show.”

Slayter: “Thank you.”

She responds sincerely, giving a gentle nod before exiting. Mr. D looks after her and turns to Katya.

Mr. D: “I wish more of the roster was like her...”

We cut away.

Breakdown returns as Jason Helms walks out of his locker room, with wet hair, having just finished a shower. He steps forward and turns the corner before we see Jack Parker running over and nailing him in the ribs. He nails him with another shot before Jason Helms manages to hit a hard right and then another before Savali comes in and clubs Jason in the back. She then grabs him by the head and drives him head first into the wall before driving the back of his head into the wall again. He rolls over.

Sharper: “The Network! Savali! Jack Parker!”

Knots: “There’s Dante! That’s who Bree went to! Why not?! It’s PPF’s favourite friends!”

Dante watches as Parker starts to stomp him the face and then again and again. Savali bends over and grabs him and drags him up before throwing him into Dante who nails him with a hard right. Helms falls to a knee and then gets up and he pushes open the door to the locker room and throws Jason down. He then grabs the door, pushing it open and slamming it hard against the shoulder of Helms. Helms yells out as he grimaces. He then opens the door and slams it into him again. The crowd ohs again as Helms yells out, holding his arm. Officials finally come over as Dante is pulled away. A couple go over to help Helms. Savali and Parker head back as the crowd continues to boo.

Sharper: “Helms’ arm…they went after him and…”

Knots: “Hope it was worth it, Bree! This is what you want to do?!”

The camera focuses on Helms as he continues to writhe in pain, holding his right shoulder as we cut away.

Cassidy Carter vs. Marie Jones

The rifts to "Na na na" by My Chemical Romance begins to play throughout the arena as the spoken intro opens up.

The future is bulletproof
The aftermath is secondary
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Killjoys, Make some noise!

Strobe lights begin flashing between different shades of blue, green and red in rapid succession as Cassidy Carter steps out, with Ace Marshall by her side, to a barrage of boos. She smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat as her one woman rave show continues. She throws one arm up over her chest while thrusting the other to the side before bowing smugly before the booing masses.

Love, gimme love, gimme love
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box
Put an X on the floor
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
Shut up and sing it with me

She makes her way down the ramp, now in full spirits, not really focusing on anything. Her arrogance and lack of real concern or worries showing in spades. She reaches the apron before pulling herself up using the bottom rope for support. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over the top rope, landing inside the ring before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring, dancing a bit in a straight line to her own theme song. Her self admiration and confidence continuing to be on full display for the world to grovel in. She raises her arms further up, now placing her hands on the back of her head before making her way to the corner. Stepping up onto the second rope she sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side. She appears to be becoming slightly impatient now in her comfortable spot waiting for this ordeal to begin and be over with.

Sharper: “Cassidy out here with her husband, Ace Marshall. Cassidy looking to get in contention for the Television Championship.”

"You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake"

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen….

"Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold"

Announcer: ..."The Phoenix" Marie Jones!!!!!!!!!!

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans. As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd.

Knots: “Her opponent is a former TV and United States Champion, Marie Jones. You can tell by the look on her face that she is ready to wear gold again. At least that is what I’m going with.”

The ref calls for the bell and Marie steps out of her corner as Cassidy just smirks before turning to Ace. Cassidy then turns and charges at Marie, who sidesteps her then connects with a kick to the back. Cassidy rubs her back as she glares at Marie.

Sharper: “Cassidy looked like she was trying to catch Marie off guard for a moment but that quickly backfired.”

Cassidy looks to tie up. Marie moves in, but Cassidy drops to one knee and lands a straight shot to the mid-section. Marie doubles over as Cassidy gets up and begins to slowly parade around the ring with the crowd booing her. Ace is shown on the outside clapping for Cassidy.

Knots: “Cassidy firing with a near low blow.”

Sharper: “A near low blow?”

Knots: “Uh yeah. I’m assuming she thought better of it.”

Cassidy grabs Marie before driving her down to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker. Ace is shown cheering Cassidy on, trying to hype the crowd to do the same. The crowd does nothing but boo.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall showing support for his wife. The crowd doesn’t seem to share his mentality.”

Knots: “I’m not sure that’s exactly a bad thing.”

Marie tries to push herself up but Cassidy stomps her back. Marie once again tries to push herself up, but Cassidy hits a running knee to the side of Marie’s head. She then hooks the leg.

Marie kicks out. Cassidy looks at the referee, glaring and shaking her head.

Ace: “That was totally a three!”

Cassidy lifts Marie off of the mat and whips her into the ropes. Marie comes back and Cassidy catches her with a spinning heel kick. Marie hits the mat once again as Cassidy goes for another cover.

Marie kicks out again.

Sharper: “Cassidy in complete control of this match right now.”

Cassidy lifts Marie off of the mat and goes to whip her into the ropes, but Marie reverses, maintaining control of Cassidy’s wrist before taking her down a short arm lariat. The crowd cheers as Cassidy hits the mat. She rolls over and pushes herself up, shaking her head. She turns just as Marie leaps and connects with a springboard drop kick. Cassidy hits the mat then gets up. Marie kicks Cassidy in the mid-section then plants her with a double arm DDT before hooking the leg.

Knots: “You were saying?”

Cassidy kicks out. Marie gets up and runs to the ropes, but Cassidy manages to get up and follow her. Cassidy grabs Marie, but Marie grabs hold of the ropes then hits a back elbow. Cassidy stumbles back, grabbing at her eye. The ref goes to check on Cassidy who complains with her eye. Marie climbs to the top rope.

Sharper: “Marie Jones not going to waste any time here…”

Ace hops onto the apron and shoves Marie off of the turnbuckle, causing Marie to land face first into the mat.

Knots: “That ref is as blind as Cassidy is…Oh wait, she’s not blind.”

Cassidy is shown removing her hand from her eye and racing over to cover Marie, as the ref goes to make the count.

Marie shoots the shoulder up. Cassidy shouts at the referee before going to grab Marie, but Marie grabs her and rolls her up into an inside cradle.

Cassidy manages to kick out. Cassidy looks up at the referee in shock as she slowly climbs to her feet, only to turn into get Kissed By Fire, leveling Cassidy to the mat. Marie goes for the cover.

Cassidy kicks out. Marie grabs hold of Cassidy, lifting her up off of the mat, kick to the midsection then connects with the Ave Maria. Marie then goes for the cover as Ace is shown urging Cassidy to kick out.

Ace: “Kick out or no shoes for a week!”

Sharper: “Marie connects with that headlock driver. Is it enough to seal the deal?”

The ref calls for the bell as Ace grabs Cassidy and rolls her out of the ring. Marie stands in the middle of the ring, with the ref lifting her hand in victory.

Knots: “It was enough to seal the deal as you said Adam. She gets her chance to become a two time Television Champion next week.”

Marie continues to celebrate before we cut to commercial.

Breakdown opens up backstage to see Cassidy Carter walking backstage with Ace Marshall as they head to their locker room. They step inside and Cassidy stops and rolls her eyes.

Cassidy: “Crap.”

Ace walks over. Justin Davis waits in the room.

Davis: “I guess I had to just make sure you couldn’t laugh this one off.”

Cassidy: “Look, Justin, she’s preggo. Not going to be getting into the ring.”

Davis: “That was something you conveniently ignored and I said I wanted to face Rachel. She’s the last one on my list before I kick Josh Hudson’s ass and end this once and for all! So where the hell is Rachel?!”

Cassidy: “Not going to happen. Even if Rachel may want to eat your brain with a spoon, it won’t be happening because SCW isn’t going to clear it, dumbass.”

Davis steps forward.

Davis: “Then fine…maybe I’ll just take you on. You used to side with Rachel. Well, you’ll do for now. A message at least to Josh and Rachel.”

Davis turns and walks past Ace and Cassidy as Cassidy shakes her head.

Cassidy: “Great. I have to put up with this idiot.”

Ace shrugs as we cut away.

Back in the arena, the camera cuts to the stage where Mr. D is walking out from the back. The crowd cheers him as he walks down the rampway to the ring.

Sharper: “Looks like we’re about to find out who is going to be challenging for the World and World Tag Team Championships at Apocalypse. A lot of debate regarding those opportunities.”

Knots: “Some debate, but also easy to say it’s straightforward. Trueloves came close last week, but also Kennie should get her rematch.”

Sharper: “And I don’t think anyone would disagree they both deserve future opportunities, but the Trueloves cashed in on theirs and weren’t successful. The issue with Kennedy is one some have mentioned – if she gets a rematch and Syren doesn’t, you know that’s going to be noted.”

Knots: “Who cares?!”

Mr. D walks to the ring and then up the steel steps. He walks along the apron and enters the ring. He looks around as he goes over to the corner to get a microphone. Phillips hands him one, but just as he does, “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play throughout the arena. Mr. D turns to the entrance way. A few moments pass as a golden hue comes over the stage and Sienna Swann walks out from the back, holding the SCW World Championship over her shoulder. She looks down at the ring before we see London and Paris walk out with her. Laura Steinbeck follows. The four then start to walk to the ring.

Sharper: “Not even waiting for Mr. D to say anything. The World Champion, Sienna Swann, on her way to the ring.”

Mr. D watches as they reach the ring and Sienna Swann climbs up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron and steps in. Laura Steinbeck follows with the Trueloves holding the ropes for her. London and Paris then follow in. Sienna smiles as she walks over to Mr. D. Sienna holds the World Title up as the crowd boos and Laura asks for a microphone. Phillips hands her one and Laura turns back as Mr. D turns to them.

Laura: “Mr. D…sorry to interrupt so early, but the fact is that we all know where this is going. I mean tonight, we’ll be seeing the Beauty Factory show yet again that Kennedy Street and Lohan Country, while fine competitors, just cannot be on the same level as us. And given that’s booked, I think we can see the writing on the wall, so rather than drag this out, I figured I would come out here so I can make the first statements to promote nights where Sienna Swann will establish herself as undoubtedly the best in the entire sport and where London and Paris will finally take their spot as the top tag team in the sport too. So-“

Mr. D: “Um…Laura….”

Mr. D cuts Laura Steinbeck off.

Mr. D: “Unfortunately, you are going to be dragging this out. Whereas Sienna and the Trueloves are going to be facing Kennedy and Lohan Country tonight, your assumption beyond that isn’t correct?”

Laura just smirks.

Laura: “Makes sense. I mean Sienna did defeat Kennedy Street pretty handedly.”

The crowd boos as Sienna smiles.

Mr. D: “She did defeat her, but that’s not the reason why she’s not getting her rematch. In fact, at some point, I have every intention of giving her a rematch.”

Laura: “Probably for the best. Don’t want to bruise the Sexy, Flawless Ego. Always looking out for her. How sweet. But that’s fine. That part is not that important. It doesn’t matter who faces Sienna. She will walk out champion.”

Sienna leans over and speaks into the microphone.

Sienna: “Perfectly…I might add.”

Laura smiles.

Laura: “How about we just get the forgone conclusion – the Truelove Twins winning the World Tag Team Championship.”

Mr. D looks down and shakes his head.

Mr. D: “You’re wrong there again.”

Laura: “What?!”

London and Paris step up.

Mr. D: “They had their shot. They had it last week. And I’m sure at some point they will earn another shot, but it is not going to come at Apocalypse.”

Laura: “You can’t tell me there is any other team that deserves the shot more than them! I have contracts! Photoshoots…very lucrative deals that will make them stars and make your titles that much more important!”

Mr. D: “Well that I hope will be on the table whenever they get another opportunity, but none of those are wrestling reasons. See, I’ve spent the last week with my daughters and we’ve been doing a lot of thinking of who best to give opportunities too. In fact, we all realized there are a number of people who haven’t had the opportunities that they should have been afforded. Either, they suffered bad luck, someone else showcased themselves more or title holders changed before rematches could be granted. And that last point…it’s something that was a sticking point. Particularly for my youngest.”

Laura: “You’re giving title shots by listening to two entitled brats, one who has been around for a cup of coffee?!”

Mr. D pauses as the crowd ohs.

Mr. D: “You just made clear to me that I made the right choice. See, I listen to good ideas, not self-promoting tripe.”

London and Paris pull Laura back as she is about to blow a gasket, annoyed with Mr. D’s choice. This leads Sienna Swann to grab the microphone and turn to Mr. D.

Sienna: “Pardon her. She’s had a stressful week planning the opportunities that will make us and this promotion truly world class. But, please…who is so deserving for these opportunities?”

Mr. D: “Thank you for asking. See at Apocalypse, someone reminded me they weren’t pinned when they lost the Tag Team Championship. And frankly, in one of my more petty moments, I mockingly agreed to give the other a World Championship shot…but apparently the two of them are a team, so I suppose I can offer instead of a World Championship shot, a World Tag Team Championship shot. And in their case, there’s a bit of recent history. Because at Apocalypse, Lohan Country will defend the World Tag Team Champions…against Bianca Evans…and her partner, Katie Steward!”

The crowd roars and boos. Laura just looks at Mr. D as London steps forward.

London: “Seriously?!”

Mr. D: “Yes, London, Paris…seriously.”

Sharper: “Katie Steward getting an opportunity to become a Supreme Champion! And with Bianca Evans?!”

Knots: “I guess Katie took her apology? But Bianca returned to take her out and now they’re teaming…”

Sienna turns to London and Paris and tries to calm them down. Sienna then turns back.

Sienna: “So who is getting charity and facing me and proving they’re not in my league?”

Mr. D: “Well Sienna, there’s someone else who never got their rematch. But given the circumstances, they certainly did deserve it. And recently, they’ve been beating some former World Champions.”

The crowd roars.

Mr. D: “Because at Apocalypse, Sienna, you’ll defend the World Championship against Alistaire Allocco!”

The crowd roars and some boo as Sienna Swann just looks at Mr. D and scoffs a bit. Sienna just remains stunned as Mr. D turns and steps through the ropes.

Sharper: “Some off the board choices, but when you’re talking about rematches, he does have a point.”

Knots: “Apparently Katya was the one who got him on this train of thought. Alistaire Allocco never got his rematch after losing the title to Jake Starr in the Chamber!”

Sharper: “He was in the Contendership Series, but given Alistaire’s showings as of late too, against Jake Starr, against James Evans, certainly a strong case he deserves a shot.”

Knots: “And with that, he said he would prove himself without Cassidy and Ace. Here’s your chance, kid.”

Sienna Swann continues to look stunned as the Trueloves clearly are annoyed with Laura Steinbeck pacing. Mr. D heads to the back.

Backstage, we see Xander Valentine backstage, seated on a foot locker, just waiting. We then see Beard walking over to him with a clipboard.

Beard: “Uh…Xander?”

Xander then looks up and just glares at him.

Xander: “What the hell do you want?”

Beard: “I’m uh…I’m shadowing an agent for your tryout.”

Xander: “You have to be kidding me.”

Beard: “Dude. I’m stunned too. But apparently, they wanted to do right by me or something. Either way, we have some time though for a televised tryout. So if you could…”

Xander gets up and looks at him. Beard backs up. Xander then turns and walks off.

Beard: “Great. See you after!”

Sharper: “Xander Valentine going to be in action, when we return.”

Knots: “Seeing a legend try to get his job back!”

The scene fades to black.

Generic rock music plays as the crowd looks around. A few moments pass before we see Xander Valentine walk out from the back. He just shakes his head as he looks around and hears some of the music before starting to make his way down. The crowd roars for Xander as he heads down.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from San Diego, California, he is Xander Valentine.”

The crowd cheers some more as he starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to stare at the ring. Xander is at the bottom of the ring steps. He stomps the bottom step several times before moving pass the steps towards the side of the ring. In a single bound, Xander leaps up onto the apron. He poses for a moment, stretching his shoulders as he continues to look into the ring. He raises his arm high into his air, as to promise victory. He garners another response from the crowd. He then enters the ring and walks around. His music fades out.

Knots: “We’re getting a try out match here on Breakdown.”

Sharper: “Xander Valentine trying to get his job back and we’ve never really noticed him so desirous of getting that job.”

Knots: “Well the fans want to see him.”

Sharper: “Legendary figure in SCW, but he had a really tough June and July.”

Xander paces as we hear more generic rock music before we see a man run out wearing standard black trunks but a Philadelphia Eagles jersey. The crowd erupts in boos. He looks around and starts to point to himself. Xander just rolls his eyes as the man starts to head down to the ring. The camera moves up to him.

Man: “I’m the best! Champion baby!”

Phillips: “His opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he is Evan Dimmers!”

Dimmers runs to the ring and hops onto the apron. He looks at Xander and smirks before climbing up to the middle turnbuckle and looking around. He hops on and Xander just looks down, clearly annoyed. Dimmers takes off the jersey and places it on the floor.

Sharper: “Evan Dimmers, wearing the wrong colours in Pittsburgh.”

Knots: “Either way, he seems ready to go. He could make his name tonight.”

Xander looks at Dimmers as the bell sounds. Dimmer then steps up and starts to jaw at Xander. Xander just looks at him as the crowd boos. The crowd starts to yell at Xander and Xander looks out, hearing the crowd roar before Xander turns and drills Dimmers with a vicious boot to the face.

Knots: “Well Dimmers just got dimmed!”

Sharper: “Huge boot. This crowd coming alive!”

Dimmers rolls over and Xander grabs him and pulls him up. He then whips him into the ropes. Dimmers bounces off. He ducks a clothesline from Xander, getting boos from the crowd. He bounces off the other side and Xander launches him in the air. Dimmers goes up and Xander boots him in the face as he comes down. The crowd roars as we start to hear a “One more time! One more time!” chant. Xander however grabs Dimmers and drags him up. Dimmers can barely stand and Xander hoists him up and places him on the top rope. Xander then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle as the crowd roars. Dimmers tries to move, but Xander clubs him in the back and then again.

Sharper: “We know what he’s setting up for!”

Knots: “A lot of pain!”

Sharper: “People are standing for Xander Valentine!”

Xander then double underhooks Dimmers before hoisting him up and jumping back and driving him down with the Martial Bane. The crowd ohs. Xander then drops down and covers him.

1!

3!

The crowd roars. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Xander Valentine!”

Xander just looks at Dimmers before stepping back as the referee goes to raise his arm. Xander pulls away. Xander’s generic rock music plays as Xander shakes his head and looks around. He then just turns and steps out of the ring. He drops down. The crowd cheers him as he looks around before he starts to head to the back.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine having no problem in dispatching Evan Dimmers.”

Knots: “Maybe Evan Dummers just realized you don’t come out here and antagonize Xander Valentine!”

Xander continues to walk to the back.

Breakdown opens backstage to see Jessica Winters in the SCW interview area with Bree Lancaster.

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Moments ago, we heard Mr. D announce Sienna Swann’s first title defense at Apocalypse and Bree, notably, you’re not the one who is getting that shot, but you’re actually smiling. I don’t understand!”

Bree: “See Jessica. I know at some point, I’m going to get that shot at Sienna and we’re going to remind everyone why the two of us are the best. But I can’t be too angry, even if I should get an opportunity. I can’t be too angry because there was some money well spent.”

Jessica: “The attack on Jason Helms.”

Bree: “See, the Network does have some value when they can control the situation and Jason, I hope you enjoy what I hope is an injured arm. Something that’s going to make you think about me every time you have to lift it up to try and text something stupid or crass. The next time you even try to hold up the camera with that filth you’ve been showing with your Bree M Z. And more importantly, I guess any hope of you getting a title shot is down the drain as I certainly hope that they did enough damage that you’re not getting a shot at me. It’s called Karma. All of this sin and debauchery and stupid jokes…and now the only one laughing is me as it all came crashing down. And trust me, best investment I’ve made. And I even brought a private plane to take me to and from my shows with Dior and competing for SCW.”

Jessica: “So then since you feel you may have eliminated Jason Helms from contention, who would you rather face? Would that be Sienna too?”

Bree: “Sienna’s defending the World Title. Didn’t you just hear that. But as for me…no one can hold a candle to me. So let them try.”

Bree smiles as the camera focuses on her. The scene cuts away.

The scene cuts to see Xander Valentine walking backstage and we see Beard walking up to him. Xander stops and rolls his eyes.

Beard: “Uh…hi…so I was watching with Chris Oliver and we have some notes. I’ve been told to debrief you and let us know our thoughts and recommendations.”

Beard just looks at Xander who glares at him.

Beard: “Yeah, man. I’m totally stunned by this too. So uh…the crowd reacted to you. So that’s good.”

Xander just looks at him and rolls his eyes.

Beard: “Uh…okay. We would have liked you to extend the match. To show some more variety.”

Xander: “Then get me someone worthwhile.”

Beard: “Wait…wait…”

Beard gulps.

Beard: “We also felt that your offense wasn’t as strong as it could be-“

Xander grabs him by the throat.

Xander: “Wasn’t strong enough…Find someone worth my time and I’ll show you what you want. Until then…here’s my response!”

Xander turns and choke throws Beard into some footlockers and the wall. Beard hits it and falls to the floor. Xander then turns and walks off as Beard coughs, clearly in pain, kicking the ground.

Total Terror vs. Billy Breakdown

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

“Something for You” by David Rolfe hits crowd breaks out into a thunderous chorus of boos.

Phillips: Introducing first, weighing in 226 pounds, Billy Breakdown!!!

Sharper: We are back ladies and gentlemen, and don’t look now partner, but here comes your favorite member of the SCW roster.

Knots: It’s not that I hate hi...ok, I really do hate him. I mean he had a match with a gopher at Rise to Greatness. Damn it, a gopher!

Billy Breakdown steps out the entrance way and the boos hit a fever pitch. He wears a black leather jacket along with his standard ring gear with black trunks that have the breakdown logo on the back. He is accompanied to the ring by the Beautiful Miss Misato whose hand he is holding. As he walks to the ring he argues with the fans

Sharper: Billy managed by Miss Misato who has the job keeping Billy’s ego in check some might say.

Knots: It would similar if I was to manage Kennie, except Kennie is sexy and flawless and I am brilliant.

Sharper: You on SCW TV what more than you are already? God help us all.

Darkness. The Melodic voice of Ozzy Osbourne overtakes the crowd……….
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go to the top
I'm as real as the world will make me
I don't wanna stop

Phillips: His opponent weighing in tonight at 285 pounds, Total Terror!!!

Red and white pyrotechnics explode in the front of the ramp. A pot light at the top of the ramp bursts whiteness across the stage, illuminating Total Terror standing in the doorway. His head is lowered.

Sharper: Here he is ladies and gentlemen, a newcomer to SCW, Total Terror.

Knots: A newcomer or not he is facing a complete idiot in his debut, and I am sure he won’t have any trouble with Billy Breakdown.

More pyro explodes around him and he bursts to life, running down the ramp. As he reaches the ring, he slides under the bottom rope without stopping his run, and then jumps to a standing position, his head down, in the middle of the ring. It goes dark briefly, pyro explodes from the turnbuckle posts, and Terror raises one arm in the air with a closed fist. The lights come up, and he gently passes his jacket and sunglasses to the ring attendant as the referee calls for the bell to ring.

Ding….Ding…..Ding!

As soon as bells sounds Breakdown coming from behind of course starts clubbing Terror over the back of the head again and again. Outweighing his opponent by nearly sixty pounds however, Terror shrugs off Breakdown’s assault and bows up before hitting a huge lariat. Breakdown is right back on his feet until he gets a short arm clothesline Terror that causes him to drop like a ton of bricks.

Sharper: Total Terror looks very good so far in his SCW debut as Billy Breakdown is in a world of hurt already.

Knots: Billy Breakdown has never looked so good and I am really starting to like this Total Terror immediately.

Slowly Terror picks Breakdown up off of the canvas and after an irish whip into the ropes Terror flows into a powerful powerslam that leaves Breakdown with a blood curdling scream before he flops down on the mat. Not giving him any time to recouperate however, Terror has Breakdown up again this time whipping him to the corner and following in with a back elbow that has Breakdown wondering what zip code he is in until he falls face first on the canvas. Terror then turns him over and goes for the cover…



ONE!



TWO


NO! Kickout by Billy Breakdown!

Sharper: Billy Breakdown kicking out at a count of two and maybe next time Total Terror will hook the leg so that this match will be over with.

Knots: I think this guy Total Terror is just having some fun and he can end these anytime that he wants to.

Terror very deliberately pulls Breakdown up with a handful of hair that the referee warns him about but Terror pays him absolutely no attention whatsoever instead whipping him off the the ropes again before he catches him and holds Breakdown up for a seconds before he drops him with a military press slam. Terror then turns him over and covers him with his foot while posing…

ONE!!



TWO!!


NO! Shoulder up by Billy Breakdown!

Sharper: Well that was a less than textbook cover by Total Terror but it did manage to help Billy Breakdown stay around for a little while longer.

Knots: Yeah barely, have you looked at Billy Breakdown? He looks like he is just about dead. I think that it is time for Total Terror to mercifully end this.

Not playing around anymore, Terror pulls Breakdown up by a handful of hair again. This time though the referee gets right in the face of Terror and orders the break. Terror does reluctantly break and when tries to go in for the kill Breakdown catches him with an inside cradle…..


ONE!!


TWO!!


THREE!!


Ding….Ding….Ding!!

Phillips: The winner of this match, Billy Breakdown!!

Sharper: So after all of that, Billy Breakdown just won this match!

Knots: I don’t believe this, I really don’t believe this! That idiot is going to continue thinking he knows how to wrestle!

Breakdown runs around the ring and backstage looking like he just won the World Championship while Terror just stares at the ropes in disgust realizing what has happened as we fade backstage.

Breakdown returns and opens up backstage in the office of Mr. D. Mr. D looks up as Katya is also in the room and Blake Mason knocks on the door and steps inside.

Blake: “You wanted to see me.”

Mr. D: “Blake…thank you for coming here.”

Blake walks over and looks at Mr. D and Katya. He nods at Katya as Katya just looks at him.

Katya: “This the one who helped Thirteen and kidnapped Sasha just for their own enjoyment six years ago.”

Blake: “I did. I’m not proud of it. I’m not proud of a lot.”

Katya: “I’m going to go for a walk.”

Mr. D: “I’ll only be a minute, Kat.”

Katya steps past Blake and out of the room. Blake turns to Mr. D.

Blake: “I deserve that coldness.”

Mr. D: “It’s funny. She never had an interest in this, but in the last few weeks, she’s remembering a lot. And it’s hard…because there are a lot of moments I’m not too proud of.”

There’s an awkward pause.

Mr. D: “But I suppose you’re trying to move on from some of that too…just as I am and do every day. And for that reason, part of the reason we extended you a new contract. What you did with Owen…then Chris.”

Blake: “It’s the least I can do. Especially after everything I did do. It’s amazing what a reality check I got with Katelyn being around more and then after seeing what Ace did…what Bree did…I need to be better for my kids.”

Mr. D: “Trying to do the same too.”

Mr. D pauses again.

Mr. D: “Look, I brought you in here, and it’s part of why Katya’s not happy. But I have an offer. Given your recent success, and now with the latest on Jason Helms confirming that he’s unlikely to be cleared before Apocalypse, I want to offer you a US Title shot.”

Blake: “Against Bree….”

Mr. D: “That’s why I wanted to talk to you. That may not be a can of worms you want to open and I get it. I just wanted to be clear about this and I can’t guarantee-“

Blake: “I can’t face her. Even if I don’t know who she’s become at times…I do still love her.”

Mr. D nods.

Mr. D: “Thank you. I just figured I should have that talk.”

Blake: “Thanks. I appreciate it. It’s odd to turn down a title shot. But…”

Mr. D: “I get it.”

Blake nods and walks off as Mr. D watches him leave. He takes a deep breath.

Alexis Quinne vs. Aaron Blackbourne

SCW Television Championship

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. It is for the Supreme Championship Wrestling’s Television Championship… Introducing first, the challenger…”

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

Phillips: From San Francisco, California, she is Pint Sized Awesomeness...ALEXIS QUINNE!

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

Sharper: “Alexis Quine is on a hot streak. He shocked the world a month and half ago when she pinned Xander Valentine. Defeated AJ Helms at Rise to Greatness. And now tonight, she’s looking to add to the momentum, and become SCW Television.”

Knots: “Even I have to admit that Alexis picking up steam, she’s doing whatever she needs to do to survive and she isn’t afraid to get dirty.”

Sharper: “But maybe tonight will be a setback because Aaron Blackbourne has been hot as well. This promises to be an excellent match-up, live on Breakdown.”

Phillips: “And now, ladies and gentlemen, introducing the SCW Television Champion…”

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

Phillips: “Hailing from Seattle, Washington… AARON BLACKBOURNE!”

As he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in the same raised and outstretched pose as before, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead.

Knots: “Two fan favorites being cheered on here. While both are decent, I wish the fan knew who to cheer for and who truly deserves respect. They never do.”

Sharper: “They’re skilled. They’re exciting. There’s a reason why they are cheered, Knots. You have your favorites, they have theirs.”

Knots: “My opinion matters much much more. I do this for a living.”

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne turned back AJ Helms last week, who just happened to be Quinne’s opponent at Rise to Greatness. A fun tidbit.”

Knots: “Helms’ new attitude has yet to blossom fully, but trust me, we all know that AJ Helms from last week a man on a mission and I bet you Blackbourne is too busy thinking about AJ Helms than this match. He’s gonna make a mistake.”

The bell rings and both competitors begin to circle around the ring. They meet up in the center of the ring and grapple. Aaron overpowers Alexis, pushing Alexis back into the ropes. She knees him in the midsection, follows up with an elbow. This responds with an elbow from Blackbourne across the face. Alexis staggers while Aaron drills her upper chest with a chop. Aaron leads Alexis by the head towards the turnbuckle, seems to go to slam her skull against the top turnbuckle but Alexis blocks it with a leg. Before Aaron steps forward with an elbow to the side of Alexis’s head but she ducks underneath, rolls behind Aaron, pulls him down for a pin:

1…

Aaron kicks out and both hurry to their feet, but this time Blackbourne catches her with a inside cradle:

1…

Alexis shoots her shoulder up. Both hop up onto their feet. Aaron runs towards Alexis, but Alexis hops into his arms willing into a wheelbarrow. Before he has time to react, she’s rolled forward into a victory roll:

1…

2…

Aaron Blackbourne kicks out. As he sits up out of the pin, there’s Alexis already with a dropkick to the upper back. He rolls over to the ropes and out onto the apron where he tries to climb to his feet. Alexis Quine meets him with a rolling wheel kick, striking Aaron square on his forehead. He is launched off the apron and crashes into the guard rail on the outside.

Sharper: “Right out of the gates, a frenzy of pin attempts and Alexis came up on top. Now she has Aaron on the outside of the ring after that big kick.”

Knots: “He’s hanging on the guard rail, holding his ribs in pain as well as his skull. Alexis might have hurt him early on this match.”

Sharper: “We’ll see if Alexis will decide to be aggressive and continue her assault on the outside, or she’s going let him come back in. She can’t win by count out or DQ, so she needs to think.”

Knots: “What do you think Alexis is going to?”

Alexis backs up into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, before charging forward. She leaps over the top rope with a suicide dive, but Aaron Blackbourne rolls out of the way and Alexis crashes down onto the outside of the ring. Alexis rolls around, holding herself, groaning in pain. Aaron Blackbourne steps up to his prone opponent and sizes Alexis up. Alexis gathers herself up and stands. She turns and she’s drilled with a perfectly placed spinning heel kick. The blow stands her flying into the apron but she doesn’t lose her footing. Aaron jumps up onto the apron and runs across and drills a punt style kick to Alexis Quinne’s skull. This time she goes down and she looks like she could be knocked out by that kick. Aaron Blackbourne begins to move her and roll her into the ring.

Knots: “Aaron Blackbourne could have decapitated Alexis with that kick!”

Sharper: “Alexis is definitely hurting from that kick to the head. She could be out.”

Knots: “I guess Aaron has no patience tonight. He doesn’t want to play games again, not like last week.”

Sharper: “He’s looking for the pin.”

Alexis shoots her shoulder up at the last second. Blackbourne seems surprised that she gets the shoulder up. He goes for the cover again as if the first kick out is a fluke:

1...

2…

Alexis once again gets the shoulder up. Aaron sighs and stands. He says a few words to the referee before he turns his attention on Alexis. She pulls herself to her feet. Aaron whips her into the ropes and she is sent bounding across the ring. On the return he leaps up to his feet for a dropkick, but she baseball slides underneath. Aaron scrambles to his feet, not wanting that misstep to lose momentum. He pulls Alexis to her feet, but there’s a mule kick to his midsection. She turns into the ropes and comes back trying to take him down with a shining wizard, but Aaron catches her with a pop-up powerbomb. Aaron he finishes off the move by pinning her shoulder to the mat.

1…

2…

3-

Sharper: “Once again, Alexis Quinne gets the shoulder up and she is holding on the thread of hope that she can still win this match.”

Knots: “She hasn’t completely recover from that kick on the outside. I am surprised the referee hasn’t called the match.”

Sharper: “You typically don’t see Aaron Blackbourne go for a move like the power bomb, but he’s trying to put her away but she’s still kicking out, refusing to give.”

Aaron pushes Alexis to the side and begins to drive knees into her side. He double underhooks the arm before pulling her to her feet. He spins Quine and shifts her, throwing her arm over his head and reaching down. Alexis denies the exploder suplex by stomping onto Aaron’s foot and also bitting his upper arm. Aaron with a surprise yell, he shoves her away from him, she bounces off the ropes and runs past. On the return, she catches him with the boomerang and slams Aaron onto the mat. Aaron rolls over and begins to climb onto his feet, but Alexis hops onto his back and locks in a sleeper hold.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne is making a last stand. She’s trying everything to put herself back into this match.”

Knots: “Even biting! What’s up with that? She has rabies! Aaron, man, get check after the match, you don’t know where Quinne has been.”

Sharper: “Alexis has him now in a sleeper hold. He’s trying to pull her off but he can’t. He’s starting to fade.”

Aaron waves his arms and falls to a knee. Alexis sticks her tongue out as she pulls back, trying to cut off that blood flow to Aaron’s brain. His face begins to change color as he struggles. Alexis slowly lowers Aaron to the mat as his strength fades. His arm drops and the referee checks. Aaron shoots it back up, he stands and tosses Alexis down in front of him. He falls back into the ropes and hangs there, trying to breathe and take in the oxygen.

Sharper: “Alexis almost had him with that sleeper hold. This match looks completely different. Both competitors are ailing, and right now I think Aaron rather close his eyes and sleep than continue on.”

Knots: “He’s in a daze, but like you said, both competitors are ailing. Alexis can barely stand!”

Alexis pushes herself up onto one knee, holding her head. Aaron sees this and steps forward right into a Jack in a Box Cradle:

1…

2…

3!

Alexis rolls off as Aaron slides out of the ring, shaking his head in disbelief as he was caught off guard by that pin.

Sharper: “Just like that, this match is over! You think that maybe Alexis was playing possum?”

Knots: “Aaron Blackbourne is not able to think straight couldn’t see through the fact that Alexis was laying in wait, planning to check him with that cradle.”

Sharper: “If Aaron didn’t like how his last week ended, he definitely is not happy with this week either.”

Phillips: “The winner of the match, by pin fall, and the new SCW Television Champion… Alexis Quinne!”

Alexis Quinne gets up and the referee turns and hands her the SCW Television Championship. Quinne looks at it and then holds it over her head. The crowd cheers a bit as Aaron looks back and sighs before heading to the back. Quinne continues to celebrate as the cameras focus on her for a few moments.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. Shots of Sienna Swann as World Champion, Syren, Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries come up on the screen.

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown…”

A shot of Syren comes up on the screen before we cut to show Ikiro Yoshida.

Voice: “What will the reaction of Syren be to the SCW World Championship announcement and she will also face Ikiro Yoshida in singles action.”

Sienna Swann and the Truelove Twins posing follows before Kennedy Street standing face to face with Sienna and shots of Dawn Lohan and Abigail Linsday holding the World Tag Team Championship follows.

Voice: “And in our main event, the Beauty Factory faces off against Kennedy Street and Lohan Country in a huge six person tag match. Along with that, Andrew Raynes, Resurgence, Christy Matthews, Damian Angel and much more as Breakdown continues from Pittsburgh!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen again as the show cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

The scene opens up in the SCW Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as the camera pans down to show Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk.

Spirit: “On a night where Giovanni Aries and Selena Frost have continued to go at one another, we also see a lot of opportunity in the air.”

Winters: “One way to look at it. I get why you’re angry if you’re the Truelove Twins or even if you’re Kennedy Street, and I assume Syren, but it’s an interesting take.”

Spirit: “You said it earlier. No automatic rematches. It’s at the boss’ discretion and we heard a couple of interesting things in that decision making process. The first being that Katya and Sasha played a role, Mr. D’s daughters. He’s taking the desire to be with his family to heart and Katya mentioned the rematch issue.”

Winters: “And to that point, Alistaire certainly deserves it. Yeah, he was in the Contendership Series, but after the Chamber challenge, he never got his one on one rematch for the title. Bianca Evans, same thing. Didn’t get pinned either to lose the title. Was a disqualification in the Tag Team Turmoil. Katie getting the benefit there and we joked about it months ago, but Katie at one point thought she had a World Title shot. This is as much about righting things there.”

Spirit: “But then what about Kennedy or Syren?”

Winters: “This suggests they could be in line too. They both never got their rematches either. And Kennedy, that we expected. Syren’s the interesting one.”

Spirit: “That will be where we see a big change in matters. The next question is the US Title and that’s seen some changes. Bree Lancaster taking matters into her own hands last week. We saw what that meant. Jason Helms taken out. We’ve been told his shoulder is injured. Mr. D mentioned he’s likely out for Apocalypse.”

Winters: “Unlikely to be cleared. Jason’s mocking not going well. I hope it was worth it.”

Spirit: “Doubt it. He’s out of his US title match.”

Winters: “That means someone else is going to get that shot. Won’t be Blake Mason as he turned it down and I don’t get that. You get a shot. I don’t care if you still have feelings. You go for the gold. You don’t know when you’re going to get the next shot.”

Spirit: “So we’re still waiting to see who will challenge Bree Lancaster at Apocalypse. Let’s talk a bit about the two title matches announced. Let’s start with the Tag Titles. Bianca Evans and Katie Steward. They get the shot. How do you think they match up against the Truelove Twins?”

Winters: “You mean Lohan Country?”

Spirit: “Yeah. Have them on the mind.”

Winters: “They are your buddies. I’m surprised you’re not more outraged. Anyway.”

Spirit rolls her eyes a bit.

Winters: “Against Lohan Country, it’s interesting because Bianca Evans attacked them too along with Gigi. Now, Katie and Bianca are on the same page. Maybe. I know Katie wants that Tag Title more than anything. She may be able to put that aside. Plus, Bianca was speaking her praises. Katie likes that. But it’s the chemistry. Abigail and Dawn, they’re related. They’ve teamed before now. That extra bit of experience can be the different. They’re battle-tested too. It’s a tough one, but it comes down to if Bianca Evans is focused, if Katie is willing to dig deep, or if Abigail and Dawn are going to get it done. What I’m more interested in is what this means for Gigi who Katie was teaming with before, and has better chemistry with Katie.”

Spirit: “That will be interesting to see and what her reaction may be. What about Alistaire Allocco and him challenging Sienna.”

Winters: “This is a bit more of a challenge. Alistaire Allocco could give Sienna fits. He can wrestle with virtually everyone. It’s whether Sienna can get into his head because he’s so clean-cut and we’ve seen that throw him off and Sienna will do anything to beat Alistaire to retain. We saw that against Selena, against Syren, Kayl and Thirteen, against Kennedy…and soon against Alistaire.”

Spirit: “Plus, Sienna may want to make a point. Alistaire got his shot at the World Title and won it before Sienna and I know that rubbed her the wrong way.”

Winters: “Jealousy is a horrible thing.”

Spirit: “Yes…Well…”

The camera cuts to Spirit only.

Spirit: “We’re going to get some more fallout we assume from these decisions. We also don’t know if Giovanni Aries and Selena Frost will continue to have anything to say at one another. Some big matches still to come tonight. We have that six women’s tag match. Lohan Country and Kennedy Street against the Beauty Factory. Will Donovan Kayl be here? Damian Angel will face Christy Matthews. Our Adrenaline Champion, Andrew Raynes will team with Dustin Adams to face Resurgence. And Syren will face Ikiro Yoshida. Syren I’m sure will have plenty to say.”

Winters: “I’m wondering exactly what. I can’t see her being happy about this. Not in the slightest.”

Spirit: “All that and much more here tonight on Breakdown. When we return from commercials, we’ll be back in Pittsburgh. Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots have you the rest of the way. Enjoy!”

“Immortals” starts to play as the cameras pan back. The Breakdown logo comes across the screen before we cut to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, representing Dark Fantasy, accompanied by CHBK, from Malibu, California, she is Syren!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words “JUST BE JEALOUS” accompanied by her heart-logo. CHBK walks out and Syren looks at him briefly before turning around, looking annoyed. She starts to head to the ring, ignoring the fans. CHBK follows her. Once at ringside, Syren jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the cheering fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring. She doesn’t do her normal entrance, demanding the microphone from Jason Phillips. Phillips hesitates and Syren snatches it from him. She then looks around and turns to the crowd. CHBK enters the ring and walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Syren demanding the microphone.”

Knots: “Oh this is going to be good.”

Syren looks at the camera.

Syren: “Are you kidding me? Are you seriously kidding me?”

Syren paces a bit.

Syren: “I shouldn’t be surprised. Even though I should have a rematch. Even though Kennedy Street said in black and white I should get a rematch. Even though Sienna Swann was practically BEGGING to face me…here I am, left out because of the pettiness of our boss.”

The crowd boos. Syren looks around.

Syren: “Let me make this simple. I have won the World Championship more than EVERYONE in the history of this company except for one and he’ll never be showing his face again. I hold the longest World Tag Team Championship reign. I hold the longest Women’s Championship reign. I am the BEST FEMALE WRESTLER IN THE WORLD!”

The crowd boos louder and louder as CHBK just smiles.

Syren: “And I’ve got the greatest legend in SCW history backing me. I’ve got the smartest woman in wrestling history as my wife. And on top of all of that, I was runner up in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal, didn’t go to Rise to Greatness because Giovanni Aries got lucky. This shouldn’t be that hard. I show up, people watch me! I show up and I win! I show up and I am a champion!”

Syren looks forward as the crowd boos some more. A “Syren sucks!” chant begins to break out as Syren looks around.

Sharper: “The arrogance…the pure arrogance.”

Knots: “She was already on the edge last week and this is just hilarious!”

Syren: “But no, I’m shafted because Ravyn and CHBK had the balls to do exactly what they promised me…they said they would get me back to the World Championship and they did. And this time, I’m on board fully and SCW should get a hint. I have no problem doing something like that again. I’m not waiting another year for a title shot and a hope and a prayer…I will get what I want! And-“

“Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett starts to play and the crowd roars. Syren just turns and brings the microphone down and glares at the entrance way. Red and white lights flash before we see Ikiro Yoshida walk out from the back. He wears his trademark red eye patch with a gold dragon emblazoned onto it along with his long sleeved jacket. A smirk appears on the Japanese superstar’s lips before he spins around once and drops down to one knee, both his arms outstretched while he looks down at the ground. Phillips has gotten a second microphone.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, he is Ikiro Yoshida!”

Syren turns to Jason Phillips and glares at him as CHBK turns to him. Phillips steps to the floor, bailing as Ikiro walks down to the ring. He then runs over to the ring and walks over to the ropes. He then turns and motions to Phillips. Phillips walks over to him and Ikiro asks for the microphone. Phillips hands it to him. Syren and CHBK look at each other as Ikiro turns to Syren.

Ikiro: “Sy-ren…You are no champion! No honour. Just wah…wah…waahhhhh!”

The crowd cheers. Syren turns and runs over to Ikiro and Ikiro blocks a shot from Syren and shoves her back. Syren falls back and rolls through. Ikiro steps into the ring. Syren gets up and turns and runs at Ikiro as the referee calls for the bell and CHBK exits.

Syren vs. Ikiro Yoshida

The bell sounds.

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida with no time for Syren’s attitude. Few words but telling her off!”

Knots: “And Syren is full of piss and vinegar and about as well liked as both!”

Syren turns and goes to nail Ikiro with a hard forearm, but Ikiro blocks it and knees her in the ribs. He spins her around into the corner. Ikiro forearms her in the jaw and then again before hitting a shoot kick to the chest. Syren stumbles forward and drops to the mat. She rolls over and gets up and Ikiro turns and lunges at her and goes for a straight kick to the chest. Syren hits the mat. Ikiro goes for the pin.

Syren kicks out. She turns and starts to get up and Ikiro chops her. The crowd woos as Syren falls back into the corner, wincing in pain. Ikiro steps in and chops her again. The crowd woos.

Sharper: “Hard chops in the corner.”

Knots: “I think I heard something pop.”

Sharper: “Jon…”

Knots: “What?! He’s getting all of those chops! Almost like they’re deflating for Syren!”

Ikiro wrenches her arm and whips her across the ring. Ikiro runs after and goes for a running Yakuza kick, but Syren moves out of the way. Ikiro gets hung up on the top rope. Syren turns and runs over and chopblocks Ikiro’s other leg. Ikiro collapses to the mat and yells out. He then starts to get up and Syren kicks him in the back of the leg. He hits the mat. He starts to get up back up and moves to the corner. Syren kicks him in the leg and then again before nailing her with a hard forearm to the jaw. Ikiro falls to the mat, but Ikiro’s left leg ends up on the middle rope and Syren kicks at it. He rolls away.

Sharper: “Syren like a shark getting a hint of blood, going for that leg.”

Knots: “As much as I hate it, it’s why she’s so good. But maybe she’ll screw up. I can hope, right?”

Syren turns and jumps up and hits the Blonde Satisfaction to the face of Ikiro. She goes for the pin.

Ikiro kicks out. Syren rolls off. Ikiro stirs and starts to get up and Syren grabs him by the head and elbows him in the back of it. He moves to the corner. Syren moves in and grabs the leg of Ikiro and lifts it up and kicks the thigh. Ikiro winces as he pulls away. Syren then grabs him and nails him with a hard forearm. She then jumps up and hits a dropkick to the jaw. Ikiro falls forward and down to the mat. Syren goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Ikiro kicks out again. Syren turns and then grabs the leg and pulls back on it and kicks at his leg. Ikiro winces and Syren then looks around before spinning through and locking in a figure four. CHBK applauds on the floor. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Figure four applied. A move CHBK has used many-a-time in his career.”

Knots: “Hopefully not applied as well as him.”

Sharper: “Going to hurt like hell regardless!”

Syren pulls back as Ikiro reaches around. The crowd starts to chant “Ikiro!” as Ikiro reaches around. Syren looks around as Ikiro starts to move. He reaches back, but the ropes are too far and he looks around before starting to look around. He slowly starts to turn. Syren shakes her head as Ikiro keeps slowly turning, using his arm for leverage and then manages to turn Syren over. The crowd roars as Syren yells out and manages to get a leg free before rolling out of it. Ikiro turns and crawls to the ropes. Syren gets up and to her feet. She turns around and runs at Ikiro and Ikiro hits a straight kick to the ribs. Syren falls back as Ikiro winces a bit. He then steps forward and hits a knee lift to the face. Syren falls to the ropes. She rolls over and Ikiro turns and pulls her in. He places her head between his legs and hoist her up and turns and hits a turnbuckle powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Syren falls forward. Ikiro drops down for the pin.

Sharper: “Powerbomb into the corner!”

Knots: “Syren may just be out! She dropped!”

Sharper: “Cover!”

Ikiro hooks the leg.

2!

Syren gets her shoulder up. She turns and Ikiro starts to get up. He then walks back to the corner. He motions to the crowd as they roar. He starts to motion to Syren to get up and Syren stirs and turns and falls to the referee, getting his attention. As she does, CHBK comes over and grabs Ikiro and pulls him out to the floor. The crowd boos. CHBK steps back and Ikiro lands on his feet. CHBK goes for a superkick, but Ikiro ducks and spins around. He then nails CHBK with a Yakuza kick. The crowd roars. Syren sees this and gets up, running past the official and diving through the ropes and onto Ikiro. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Syren through the ropes! Ikiro takes down CHBK!”

Knots: “Ikiro was going to go for the KARAOKE Kick but CHBK stopped him and got something for it!”

Syren rolls over. (1) She starts to get up and grabs Ikiro and clubs him in the back and then again.(2) Ikiro then lifts her up and pushes her into the announce table. Syren rolls onto it. (3) Ikiro turns and grabs at her and tries to pull her up, but Syren boots him in the face. (4) She then grabs him by the hair before driving him face first into the announce table. (5) She nails him again. She then steps up. (6) She drops down and turns to the ring. Ikiro, however, grabs her and pulls her back with a waistlock. (7) The crowd roars as Ikiro rolls her over the announce table and behind it. (8) CHBK stirs as Ikiro walks over and grabs Syren. He starts to pull her up.(9) He tries to drag her to the ring to get her back in, but the referee counts ten. (10) The bell sounds. The crowd boos.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has counted both Syren and Ikiro Yoshida out. This match is a draw!”

Ikiro looks up and Syren then nails him from behind. She falls over and rolls over. She starts to get up and Ikiro turns and looks at her. But as he does, we see the masked man in the similar attire of El Angel del Cielo hop the barricade behind CHBK.

Sharper: “Ikiro setting up Syren!”

Knots: “It’s that masked guy! The guy who helped Syren at Rise to Greatness XV!”

Sharper: “Where did he come from?”

CHBK drops down and the man runs over and nails Ikiro from behind with a clothesline. Ikiro hits the mats. The crowd boos as the referee calls for the bell again. Ikiro turns and grabs at the ring, but the masked man grabs Ikiro and pulls him up before dropping him with a double underhook DDT. The crowd ohs and Ikiro pops up and drops to the mats. Syren just smiles.

Syren: “Not worth my time! Not worth my time! Only the World Title!”

The man looks at Ikiro as the bell sounds again. The referee drops down and tries to tell him to get back. The man looks around as Syren walks over and raises his arm. The crowd boos as CHBK walks over and the masked man turns to him before raising his arm too.

Sharper: “Who is that man?! And again, helping Syren!”

Syren, CHBK and the man stand over Ikiro as Ikiro struggles. The crowd boos before we cut away.

Aaron Blackbourne can be seen walking through the backstage area disappointed. He takes a few steps before walking into his locker room. He steps in and we then see Manvel walking over to him and nodding. Aaron looks at him confused.

Aaron: “What?”

Manvel: “Got a hell of a Mantastic consolation prize, daddy.”

Manvel walks off as Aaron looks at him before turning and shaking his head. We hear the shower in the background. Aaron then walks over and sits down by his gear. He takes off his shirt and puts it down next to his bag. He then reaches in and grabs a towel from his bag before bending over and undoing his laces. He slides off his boots and then gets up. He walks over to the shower before going over toward the shower and steps past the first stall in use, before it abruptly opens.

Scarlet: “Hi Aaron…”

Aaron turns as we see Scarlet Grey standing in the stall, the curtain all that is covering her body. Aaron just looks at her.

Scarlet: “I figured I could show off my creative demons…and I can make sure you forget tonight’s loss too…”

Aaron: “Scarlet, I already…”

Scarlet extends her leg, showing off the body paint from before, still on her body.

Scarlet: “And I get forget about my loss too.”

Aaron turns away as Scarlet turns around and let’s go of the curtain. The camera quickly moves up to avoid seeing anything as Aaron turns away.

Aaron: “Scarlet…I’ve told you.”

Scarlet: “And I’m persistent…”

Scarlet winks.

Scarlet: “Want to help me wash this off…Or maybe just make it better…”

Scarlet smirks as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Selena Frost is seen walking backstage as the crowd cheers. She steps past one opening and just then, we see Giovanni Aries running over and nailing her in the side. She falls into the wall and Giovanni kicks at her, but Selena moves out of the way. Giovanni then steps over.

Giovanni: “No one to stop us here!”

Giovanni then turns and lunges at her. Selena moves out of the way and Giovanni goes into the wall before spinning off and Selena kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a forearm shot. The crowd roars as Giovanni lunges and misses. He then crawls around on the floor a bit before spinning around and diving at Selena again. Selena rolls out of the way and gets up. She then turns and catches him with a straight kick in the jaw. Giovanni falls over and laughs.

Giovanni: “Oh…you’re good…I’m going to enjoy destroying another one of his top generals….”

Giovanni gets up and lunges again as Selena grabs at him and we see officials and security starting to come over.

Selena: “Let us go! Let us fight!”

The officials pull them apart as Giovanni ends up on the floor and they slide him back. He lunges at Selena, but falls short as Selena backs up and rolls her eyes in frustration as she keeps watching, a couple of officials keeping her back. Giovanni continues to be restrained as Giovanni cackles looking at Selena and we cut away.

The opening of “Villain I'm Not" can be heard blaring through the PA system.  The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a roar reaction from the crowd. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. James looks out at the crowd.

Sharper: “James Evans said he had a surprise tonight. Think about maybe leaning to a team. With Katelyn Buehler recovering from an injury from how hard she hit Ace Marshall at Rise to Greatness, James Evans is looking to take matters into his own hands.”

Knots: “So who does he have? Who did he find to join him?”

James heads down to the ring. He looks around as the crowd cheers him a bit. He makes his way over to the ring. He gets down to the ring and climbs up the steel steps. He looks out at the crowd and nods before stepping into the ring. He then walks across, motioning to Jason Phillips. Phillips steps forward and hands him a microphone. James takes it and steps back to the middle of the ring. His music fades out.

James: “Thank you for that. I don’t know if I deserve it, but thank you.”

James looks around.

James: “Last week, some of you saw on Breakdown, as the cameras were rolling, that I was on the phone with someone. See, over the last couple of weeks, when it looked like Katelyn was going to have to unfortunately take some time off because she hit Ace Marshall so hard that she hurt herself…”

The crowd cheers as James smirks.

James: “Trust me…she made sure she was going to teach him a lesson.”

The crowd cheers a bit more as a faint “Katelyn” chant even echoes through the crowd.

James: “Hear that Katelyn…they still remember…”

The crowd cheers as James smiles.

James: “And while my kids’ mother is remembered fondly, I still need to earn that distinction. I want them to be proud of me and in the last couple of weeks, I’ve been speaking to someone who can help me in that. Someone who is also undergoing their own form of redemption. Looking to prove something to themselves while making sure their legacy in this sport is a positive one.”

The crowd cheers a bit.

James: “And she is looking to return to this ring. And it’s great for me as it’s someone who can more than carry their weight in the ring and someone who frankly I can learn a lot from. So…please welcome my partner…”

James pauses as the crowd buzzes.

James: “Angelica Jones!”

The crowd cheers as 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..."

“All the Things She Said” by T.A.T.U. plays throughout the arena and the crowd continues to roar before we see Angelica Jones walk out from the back. She looks around the arena.

Sharper: “Angelica Jones! We’ve not seen her since she fought her sister at Retribution!”

Knots: “Retirement not good enough it seems!”

Angelica Jones then starts to walk to the ring as James watches her as she heads to the ring. The camera follows her down as she walks to the steel steps and then up them and on the apron. She enters the ring and steps forward. She looks around the arena again and then turns and walks over to James Evans. They shake hands in the middle of the ring as Angelica asks for the microphone. James obliges and Angelica looks at the crowd.

Angelica: “Not expecting to see me.”

Angelica smirks.

Angelica: “See, James and I have a similar aim. It’s in the name of our partnership…Redemption. I’m not happy with how the Sisterhood ended and I have more to do. Kayla may have been happy, but I’m not done. And James…he wants to fight to prove he’s not the same person. And together…we aim to take the tag team division by storm. I’ve done it before. James…he’s new at it. But he’s also a former World Champion. And everyone will respect what we are capable in this ring…but they will respect both of us too. And we will leave a legacy we can be proud of, redeeming ourselves in the eyes of all those who matter to us…and ourselves…and whether it’s a team like the Truelove Twins or Bianca Evans and Katie Steward or Lohan Country themselves…we will stand up to them and we will fight…and we will win!”

Angelica brings the microphone down as “All The Things She Said” starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd cheers as Angelica turns and asks for James’ arm. James and Angelica then hold each other’s arms over their heads. The crowd looks on and cheers them a bit.

Sharper: “Similarly minded. Both highly motivated.”

Knots: “A new player in the tag division.”

Sharper: “And with their experience, individually especially, they could be a team to watch going forward in the second half of 2018.”

They remain in the ring, posing as the crowd cheers. Angelica looks around as James just smiles, almost relieved as they continue to stand in the ring.

The scene opens up to see Hana Ito standing by with Alistaire Allocco in the SCW interview area as the crowd roars.

Hana: “Hana Ito here and I’m with the newly announced number one contender to the SCW World Championship, Alistaire Allocco. In some ways it may be expected. In others a surprise. What is going through your mind?”

Alistaire takes a deep breath.

Alistaire: “It’s almost like this was ordered by the divine, Hana. A week ago, I said I would stand out on my own when Cassidy and Ace challenged me and here I am, a week later, getting a shot at the World Championship. Sure, I may not have come out the victor against Selena Frost, but I’ve beaten many World Champions and I’ve said time and time again how I am one of the best pure wrestlers, in every sense of the world, in SCW. And now I get to face another top tier competitor in Sienna. Sure, her vanity will be her downfall, and I will make sure I show that to the world, but I get to face against a bona fide champion and return to the pinnacle of this sport….for the second time in my first year in the business. I’m…”

Alistaire smiles and looks up.

Alistaire: “I’m elated. Mr. D…you made the right choice. You can rest assured, you’ll have a champion you can be proud of, as can the world as I return to the World Championship against a worthy challenge!”

Hana: “Good luck at Apocalypse, Alistaire.”

Alistaire: “Thank you.”

Alistaire smiles as the camera focuses on him a bit longer.

Blake Mason sits down backstage as we see Marie Jones walking up to him. Blake looks up at Marie the crowd cheers.

Blake: “Marie…always a sight for sore eyes.”

Marie: “I could say the same. But I’m not sure if I want to see you right now.”

Blake: “Why? What’s going on?”

Marie sighs.

Marie: “You had a title shot. And you turned it down. For once there was someone I think deserves a shot and you turn it down.”

Blake: “I’m not going to face Bree. That’s too raw.”

Marie: “I get it. I don’t have to like it. And right now, there’s not much I like. Dylan was taken out by Regan. So I can even get some revenge. Christy has Andrew…”

Blake: “I’m sure you’re going to get a look at. Just this time, it was a foregone conclusion with Christy-“

Marie: “I want to face you.”

Blake: “What?”

Marie: “Yeah…you’re on a tear. You’re doing well. Apparently US Title contendership material…And I know you’re not going to screw me over.”

Blake: “Are you sure? I’m just saying, right now, I’m not in a position nor desire to just let a match get away.”

Marie: “I don’t want that. I want to prove myself. And you’re hot right now. Sorry, Blake, but you told me a few weeks ago when we went out that I needed to be more cutthroat. Let’s do it. Apocalypse. You in?”

Blake: “I’ll talk to D.”

Marie: “Thank you Blake…thank you.”

Marie turns and walks off as Blake looks a bit stunned.

Resurgence (Tommy Valentine & Jake Starr) vs. Brotherhood of the Sith (Dustin Adams & Andrew Raynes)

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams appear through the smoke, their eyes shifted towards the ring, focused, cold stares. They stand there for a few seconds still looking around, devoid of the fans, before making their way down the ramp, ignoring the fans. Adams enters the ring using the rings steps, as Raynes slides in under the bottom rope. They then climb opposite corners and jaw with the crowd before regrouping in the center of the ring, glaring at the entrance ramp.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes teaming up with Dustin Adams, as they prepare to take on the Resurgence, consisting of Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine.”

The arena is plunged into complete darkness and the fans begin to buzz with anticipation as the screens start to strobe and the cheers begin to roll out automatically as an air raid siren then starts to sound before a robotic voice begins to speak; the words appearing on the screens at the same time.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL...

I REPEAT... THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

THIS...

IS...

THE RESURGENCE!!

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

THIS IS THE RESURGENCE!!!

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

After once again looking at one another, they both smirk and make their way to the ring, slapping palms and nodding to the fans as they go. Once they reach the ring, they slide in and immediately go to opposite turnbuckles and climb them, Jake going first as he once again holds his fist up, the Universal sign of the Social Misfit as the crowds cheers increase in volume before Jake looks across at Thomas who crosses his hands across his chest again before shrugging and holding his own fist in the air, mirroring his tag team partner and friend. They both hold the pose before jumping down and switching corners, repeating the process which gets another chorus of cheers from the crowd as their music fades. Laughing, the pair high five before standing side by side and waiting for the start of the match.

Tommy and Raynes glare at one another as Starr and Adams exit the ring. The ref calls for the bell as Raynes and Tommy begin to circle one another.

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine looking to start things off here with the current SCW Adrenaline Champion, Andrew Raynes.”

Knots: “Yeah, Raynes has something that Tommy wants.”

Sharper: “You’re right Knots, but he will have to wait until after Christy Matthews gets her shot. A shot she earned in a triple threat at Rise to Greatness.”

Raynes lunges forward, locking up with Tommy. Raynes steps to the side, taking Tommy into a side head lock. Tommy shoves forward, pushing Raynes into the ropes. Raynes fires back, connecting with a shoulder tackle, sending Tommy to the mat.

Tommy goes to get up from the mat, but Raynes begins stomping away at Tommy’s hands, stepping onto his fingers. The crowd boos as the ref backs Raynes away. Tommy glares at Raynes before climbing to his feet. Raynes smirks before lunging forward again at Tommy, who dunks down and rolls Raynes up into a pin attempt.

Raynes kicks out. Tommy gets to his feet as Raynes is shown glaring at Tommy, who smirks, motioning for Raynes to get up.

Knots: “Valentine going for a surprise roll-up.”

Sharper: “The Adrenaline Champ looks none too pleased.”

Raynes gets to his feet and locks up with Tommy, before firing away with forearms to the side of the head, staggering Tommy. Raynes then plants him with a DDT. Raynes goes for a quick cover.

Tommy kicks out! Raynes clubs Tommy before grabbing Tommy up and whipping him into the ropes. Tommy comes back with a flying forearm, taking Raynes off his feet. Raynes hits the mat then gets back up, only for Tommy to take him down with a tornado DDT. Tommy goes for the cover.

Adams breaks up the pin stomping Tommy in the back of the head, causing Starr to get into the ring. The referee shouts for both men to get out of the ring, which they slowly down as they are shown glaring and pointing at one another.

Sharper: “Jake Starr and Dustin Adams getting involved in the action, with Adams breaking up Valentine’s pin attempt.”

Raynes grabs Tommy by the hair, resulting in boos from the crowd. Raynes smirks at the crowd before Tommy lands a shot to the ribs. Raynes fires back, driving his knee into Tommy’s midsection. Raynes then whips Tommy into their corner, following up with a running clothesline. Raynes then tags in Adams. Adams grabs Tommy then whips him into the ropes.

Knots: “The big man is now the legal man.”

Tommy flies off of the ropes, going for a crossbody, but Adams catches him then smirks at the crowd and Starr before dropping Tommy to the mat with a fall away slam. Adams grabs Tommy off of the mat once again, pressing him into the ropes before delivering a knife edge chop, followed by another. Adams then steps back before going for a clothesline, but Tommy dunks under, causing Adams to stumble. Adams then turns around and Tommy connects with the Griever’s Bane!

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine dropping Adams with the Griever’s Bane…”

Knots: “Outta nowhere!!!”

Tommy then goes for the cover, but Raynes is shown running into the ring, landing a running knee. Starr gets into the ring and takes Raynes down with a clothesline. Raynes hits the mat but pops up to his feet and Starr meets him, landing punches before taking him over the top rope with a clothesline as the crowd erupts.

Jake gets back onto the apron as Tommy and Adams both begin to stir. Adams get to his feet quicker and goes to grab Tommy, but Tommy leaps up and connects with the Griever’s Bane once again. Tommy then leaps over and tags in Starr, before rolling to the outside to regroup. Starr then ascends the top rope.

Sharper: “Jake Starr now the legal man, going to the top rope, looking to complete the Five Starr Treatment.”

Starr salutes the crowd then goes to leap only for Raynes to hop onto the apron, wielding a chair, connecting with a chair shot. The crowd boos as Starr slumps to the ring and the referee calls for the bell.

Knots: “Well so much for that.”

Sharper: “Raynes using a chair, robbing the fans of a great match.”

Raynes gets into the ring and drops the chair. He helps Adams to his feet as they begin to stomp away at Starr as the crowd begins to boo heavily.

Sharper: “The match is already over. There is no sense in this!”

Adams and Raynes continue to stomp away, only Tommy is shown grabbing the chair as he slides into the ring. Tommy charges towards Adams and Raynes with the chair, swinging blindly, but Raynes and Adams quickly rolls out of the ring. Adams and Raynes are shown backing up the ramp as Tommy glares at them before helping Starr to his feet.

Bree Lancaster is seen talking to Scott Burnside backstage before we see Mr. D walking over to her. Scott gets Bree’s attention and Bree turns.

Bree: “Finally. You realize you should be focusing on me more.”

Mr. D: “That’s one way to look at it. I figured I would just let you know who you’re defending the title against.”

Bree: “Oh this should be good. Then again, I already helped you by removing someone who doesn’t deserve the shot and then you needed to go petty and consider my ex. Not classy at all.”

Mr. D: “Both people who I think deserve a shot. But Bree, don’t worry, there are plenty of other contenders to your title. And well Bree…we never got this match back in January, but I can always fix that mistake.”

Bree: “Wait a minute…”

Mr. D: “You’ll be defending your title against Jake Starr.”

The crowd roars. Bree just looks annoyed.

Bree: “Him?!”

Mr. D: “Good luck.”

Mr. D turns and walks off as the crowd roars and the scene fades out.

Backstage, Dante McCaffery is seen with Jack Parker, Ms. Budde and Savali before Parker motions to Dante. Dante turns and then starts to walk toward the camera. The camera turns and we see Dante walking over to Laura Steinbeck who stands at the door.

Dante: “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Laura: “To be honest, part of me debated just ending any association with you after your failures. But what you did for Bree, against Jason…renewed some faith.”

Dante: “What do you need?”

Laura smiles.

Laura: “I’m not giving you any money right now. But I will give you advice and if you act on it, I’m sure I can offer something.”

Dante: “I’m listening.”

Laura: “Get rid of Max Kane.”

Dante: “The kid is impulsive. He intended to help.”

Laura: “No…he wanted the spotlight for himself. You are offering a service. You either offer that service…or you’re his stage. You can’t be both. And if you choose correctly, I’ll make it worth your while.”

Laura turns and walks off. Dante watches her leave as the scene cuts away.

Christy Matthews vs. Damian Angel

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans cheer as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by Christopher Richter, from Overland Park, Kansas, she is Christy Matthews!”

Her fists are taped and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairytale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

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

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

As she begins to push her way down to ringside, and security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way, we see that she's joined by her manager, Christopher Richter. Christy walks past them, focusing on the ring. She makes her way down to the barricade, leaping over and begins climbing the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope, pulling down the hood of her jacket and striking the mock-crucifix pose once more. As the second chorus of “King of the World” hits Christy sings along with the lyrics, continuing to strike the crucifix pose before finally leaping over the top rope and spinning around in the ring, throwing her ring jacket to the outside and collapsing to a seated position in the corner of the ring as the fans cheer. She sits in the corner, looking out at the fans occasionally as Richter collects her belongings from her corner and stands on the outside of the ring nearby.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews on the path to face Andrew Raynes at Apocalypse for the Adrenaline Championship.”

Knots: “Yeah, but Ravyn Taylor is watching and lurking, but you wonder what she’s thinking with Andrew Raynes turning her down and good for him. Someone has principles around here!”

Sharper: “Yes, Raynes is principled. Given me a break. After what we heard between him and Regan earlier.”

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song...

Behind those eyes lies the truth and grief
Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins

During that verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp , inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd. Har Megiddo walk out with him. In the slight pause between the verse and the chorus, the lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel to the ring. Kali, Malphas and Behemoth disappear to the shadows, following behind him.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Har Megiddo, from Hell, Michigan, he is the Devil Himself, Damian Angel!”

They begin their approach to the ring. By the end of the chorus, Angel has rolled toward the centre of the ring, pulling himself to one knee. Damian runs his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo, immediately springing to his feet thereafter. Damian unfastens the clasps of his rope, letting it drop down to the mat behind him. He glares out over the crowd. Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell.

Sharper: “Damian Angel out here with his group, Har Megiddo. We’re still waiting to hear if Donovan Kayl is going to respond.”

Knots: “I tried to text Kennie to see if she knew he was in town. No response.”

Sharper: “Rumour has it that he is in Pittsburgh, but we’re not sure. Unconfirmed. Regardless, two former Adrenaline Champions, two former World Champions, about to go at it in this one.”

The bell sounds as Angel looks at Matthews. The two circle the ring and lunge at one another and Christy sweeps down and around Angel in a waistlock. She turns and moves into a side headlock. Angel slides back, but grabs Matthews’ arm and pulls up on it with a hammerlock. Christy reaches up and then down before reaching up again and jumping up before dropping down and snapping Angel over with a snapmare. He rolls through. Angel gets up and Christy hits a dropkick. Angel hits the mat and rolls over and moves back to the corner. Christy walks over to him and grabs him and Angel spins him into the corner. Angel chops her. The crowd woos. He chops her again. More woos. He then whips her across the ring.

Sharper: “Back and forth in this early part of this match.”

Knots: “Angel wearing out Christy with those chops.”

Angel walks across and Christy kicks him in the ribs. Angel winces. Christy kicks him again. She spins him into the corner. Christy hits a shoot kick to the chest of Angel and then another. She grabs Angel and pulls him out and into a short-arm clothesline. She goes for the pin.

Angel kicks out. Both get up and Christy grabs Angel in a side headlock.

Sharper: “Christy trying to maintain control. She knows Angel is most dangerous when he’s dictating the pace.”

Angel gets Christy back to the ropes and fires her off. Christy bounces off the other side. She goes for a clothesline. Angel ducks. Christy turns around and Angel scoops her up and hits a snap sidewalk slam. Christy winces and Angel pulls back on the legs.

Damian stirs and Christy pulls him in by the head, but Damian fights it and hits a northern lights suplex into a bridge.

Christy gets her shoulder up. Damian rolls off and looks at her. He sighs as he slowly gets up.

Sharper: “Damian hits that patented snap bulldog! Christy gets out at two though.”

Knots: “And almost like he’s disappointed for Christy. As if he has to do something more to her to win this!”

Damian starts to get up. Christy slowly stirs as Damian Angel looks over at her. He then pulls her up and drags her to her feet before scooping her up and slamming her down. He turns and exits to the apron. He starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd roars as Damian looks at Christy. Just then, “Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play. The crowd erupts in cheers. Damian turns and smirks as he then turns and drops down to the mat. Christy stirs and Damian stomps her in the face. The referee turns to Damian, telling him to keep fighting, but Damian just turns to the entrance way.

Sharper: “That’s Kayl’s music! He may indeed be here!”

Knots: “Damian doesn’t care about Christy anymore. He’s ready for Kayl!”

Sharper: “And Har Megiddo also watching too!”

A few moments pass as the crowd continues to cheer. Just then, we see a crew member sliding into the ring. The camera turns back to the ring as we see the crew member grab Christy and jump up and drill her with a double knee facebuster. The crowd ohs and the referee calls for the bell. Damian turns as the crew member rolls out of the ring. Damian looks at Har Megiddo and motions to them. Behemoth, Malphas and Kali start to circle the ring as the crew member removes their baseball hat, and undoes their hair a bit before turning, revealing themselves to be Ravyn Taylor. She hops the barricade and jogs through the crowd. The crowd roars and boos before Har Megiddo reaches the barricade. Ravyn continues to head off. Damian just looks around before turning back to the entrance way where there remains no Kayl. The crowd continues to boo.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor from behind. Reminding Christy she’ll be a thorn in her side!”

Knots: “Not just that, but pissing off Damian Angel, just because. Ravyn’s having fun and I hope it costs her!”

Sharper: “Also no Donovan Kayl. No sign of him. Ravyn Taylor even using his music to get the drop…unbelievable…”

Har Megiddo remains at the ringside area as we then cut away.

Backstage, the scene opens up to see Jessica Winters standing in the SCW interview arena.

Jessica: “Last week, ladies and gentlemen, a stunning attack took our attention as Dylan Howell seemed to be about announce his retirement, before Regan Street and Mikaela Street, his half-sisters, came and assaulted him. More importantly, since then, Dylan Howell has come on social media vowing revenge and allow me to now to bring in Regan Street and….”

The crowd boos as Regan steps forward and looks at Jessica. She grabs the microphone.

Regan: “No, no Jessica. You don’t need to be here for this. We don’t need your judgmental crap as lord knows all of this makes perfect sense.”

Jessica: “But your focus on family.”

Regan: “Exactly what motivated this. See, Dylan, I don’t know if you realized that he needs a lot of help. A LOT of help and instead of getting proper help, he was with someone who put herself above him. It was clear that some responsibilities and priorities needed to be dealt with. We were sick of seeing this crap with Addy. Andrew Raynes is the champion and a fine one at that and it was time to finally end this.”

Jessica: “But he was going to retire anyway-“

Regan: “Yes, until he was pumped up and told he could still go for it. Until he could go for Addy again. Until that bitch he’s with convinces her of something because she gets tired of his act. I’m not going to let my brother be manipulated so I took matters into my own hand. He wants to come and get another personal ass-kicking, but it’s best for him to be away from this ring and done. For good. And with the realization that Sam or whatever that bitch’s name is is bad for him. I’m looking out for him, Jessica. And frankly, someone has to since this company won’t. They’ll trot him out there because he’s funny. He’s a disgrace to the family, to this business and to me. And frankly, I did him a favour. He can go, get help, and return to be the wrestler he should be…if he wants. Or maybe he can finally just cause a few less headaches for the world too. Both are fine for me.”

Regan looks around as she speaks.

Regan: “So please stop with these sob stories. Dylan doesn’t deserve him. He’s someone with mental health issues and I’m just giving him the attention he needs-“

Regan stops and looks off-camera.

Regan: “What are you shaking your head for?”

Regan turns and walks off, the camera following her.

Regan: “What? You got something to say to me? I mean you think you’re god’s gift as is. Got a bit of piss and vinegar in you after you’ve had some good goes, kid?”

The camera pans over to show Owen Cruze off to the side.

Owen: “This…this is just amazing…You believe all of that.”

Regan: “Got a problem with it. When I just speak the truth? Or do you like to pump smoke up people’s asses.”

Owen: “You say you care about family and you do that? Haven’t you even looked at your son. He’s not even the same person he was.”

Regan: “And he’s taking what he deserves.”

Owen: “He got intentionally disqualified.”

Regan: “And everyone is watching him. Let me focus on what I teach my son. How I teach him to be a star. I get that you’ll never have that, but it’s probably for the best as between Lando and your uncle Shaun, you’d probably just learn how to be a complete jackass. Then again, you’re already dating Amy’s dumbass of a daughter-“

Owen: “What did you say?”

Regan: “What are you going to do? Throw away your career for teenage love and to protect your deadbeats of a family.”

Owen just looks at Regan and balls his fists before Regan smirks.

Regan: “Come on…hit me!”

Owen shakes his head before we see AJ Helms walk over.

AJ: “What’s going on?”

Regan: “Just teaching your ‘friend’ a lesson about life. He should know when to shut the hell up.”

AJ: “Keep telling you Owen. You worry about too many things….Should listen to Regan. Would give you someone good to listen to around here.”

Owen: “I’ll pass.”

Owen turns and walks off. Regan scoffs.

Regan: “Disrespectful brat…then again, he does listen to his uncle. I at least was able to help you before it was too late.”

AJ scoffs a bit behind her back before catching himself.

AJ: “Thank God for that…”

The scene cuts away.

Breakdown returns as Damian Angel walks through the backstage area with Har Megiddo. The camera follows him. Damian Angel just snarls a bit as he takes a few more steps.

Damian: “Ravyn…you made a big mistake. Then again, you affiliate yourself with one of my greatest rivals….”

Damian smirks a bit.

Damian: “And Donovan’s still not here. Told you…Told you that he would not show. The man is nothing but a coward. And your cornerstone has shattered.”

Damian smiles as he continues on his way with Har Megiddo. The camera stops as the group walk past the camera. The camera continues to film them walking down the hallway as we cut away.

The generic rock music heard earlier plays again as Xander Valentine walks out from the back. He glances back through the curtain before yelling at someone. He then starts to make his way down the rampway to the ring. Xander Valentine looks around as the crowd cheers him.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall with a ten minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from San Diego, California, he is Xander Valentine!”

The crowd cheers some more as he makes his way to the ring. He grabs the ropes and jumps up to the apron. He then steps into the ring. He starts to pace around the ring as the official backs off a bit. Xander keeps pacing before turning around and looking at the entrance way.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine wants a bigger challenge. He wants someone on the main roster.”

Knots: “Is there anyone? Obviously he’s out here, but the fact is that this isn’t an actual match. He just kicked Beard’s ass. Maybe Beard can compete against him.”

Sharper: “I don’t think that’s happening.”

Xander Valentine starts to pace in the ring as the crowd looks on and cheers him. Xander ignores the crowd, focusing on the entrance way. He continues to pace before we hear more generic rock music.

Sharper: “Well that’s not what Xander wanted to hear.”

Knots: “Why not Slayter McKinney? She could face him.”

Sharper: “I don’t know if this is even a legitimate match though.”

Xander just steps forward when the crowd roars as we see a man in a hoodie roll into the ring from behind. He then runs over and nails Xander from behind. The crowd ohs and Xander falls over. He stumbles forward and then turns and swings, taking a haymaker swing, but the man ducks and then grabs Xander and lifts him up and turns him over with a belly to belly suplex. The crowd ohs and the man’s hood comes off, revealing it to be Josh Hudson. Hudson looks around and then looks for an official.

Hudson: “Guess not going to get a match…just an ass-kicking.”

Xander starts to get up and Hudson kicks him in the ribs and then again before pulling him in and hoisting him up onto his shoulders. The crowd roars and he then spins him out and hits the Big Fat Kill. The crowd ohs and Xander rolls over to his back. Hudson then gets up and looks at him. He then dusts his hands.

Sharper: “Big Fat Kill!”

Knots: “Just took him down. Jesus! Hudson making a statement!”

Sharper: “He came from the crowd and he’s just dispatched Xander Valentine!”

Hudson then looks at Xander and drops back through the ropes. He backs up as the crowd boos. He looks around before smirking and then starting to walk up the rampway to the back. Xander slowly rolls over and looks at him as Hudson just turns back. He then shakes his head and continues to the back as the crowd boos some more and we cut away.

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of the Beauty Factory vs. Kennedy Street & Lohan Country follows.

Sharper: “Main event time. Beauty Factory against Kennedy Street & Lohan Country. It’s an interesting turn of events after the announcements earlier. What is this going to be mean for personal motivations? We’ll find out next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Then Sienna Swann walks out with her head down. The Truelove Twins flank her on both sides. The crowd boos. Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear. The SCW World Championship is around her waist. Sienna looks around at the crowd and smirks as the Trueloves pose too. Laura makes sure the photographers take photos of the three of them before the Trio starts to head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is your main event of the evening for TV Time remaining. First, on their way to the ring, they are the Beauty Factory, London and Paris Truelove and the SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann!”

Sienna, London and Paris walk down to the ring, looking around. They head to the ring and Sienna continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top rope, posing with her wings spread wide.

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay, your Tag Team Champions and they’ll be defending not against the Truelove Twins.”

Knots: “That’s another weird turn of events. It looked like it would. Bianca Evans however had a plan and well here we are.”

Sharper: “But again, just as Kennedy has a way to stake a claim, to remind Sienna, the Truelove Twins can do the same with Lohan Country!”

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops her robe, revealing her wrestling attire. Kennedy raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers looking over to the fans and smirks. She continues to make her way down to the ring before arriving at the apron, crawling in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing as the crowd roars….

Phillips: “And their partner, From Beverly Hills, California, she is “The Sexy Flawless Diva” Kennedy Street!”

Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner. She looks across at Sienna Swann as Dawn and Abigail join up with her and the three talk. Sienna starts to talk with the Truelove Twins in the opposite corner.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street, we mentioned what she has to gain. You know she will get her shot at Sienna Swann and in fact, Mr. D said as much.”
