Breakdown - December 14, 2019

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

The opening bars of “The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire play as the Breakdown logo flies across the screen.

I'm thinking about the old me
'Cause I've been feeling empty
I never used to be so dead inside

Shots of Syren celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Beauty Factory standing tall in the ring. Following this is Aaron Blackbourne hitting the Unchained Creativity on an opponent. Katie Steward hitting the Off with her Head on Giovanni Aries at Retribution 2018 follows.

I think I lost my memory
I can't remember carefree
And all my days turn into fight or flight

Owen Cruze hitting the Cruze Stomp on an opponent follows before we see Selena Frost hitting the Glass Shard on Bree Lancaster. Bree Lancaster hitting the Classifier on Aaron Blackbourne follows before we see Scarlet Grey walking to the ring.

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

Kennedy Street hitting Dante McCaffery with the Touch of Class follows before we see James Evans and Angelica Jones holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Marie Jones standing on the ropes follows before we see Kandis swiveling her hips as part of her entrance. Derek Adonis holding up a copy of the KABLAMA Sutra follows.

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?

Chris Cannon spearing Kennedy Street and Owen Cruze follows before we see a shot of Cassidy Carter dancing on her way to the ring, and then a shot of Regan Street and Datura swinging chairs at one another. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. The cameras cut to the entrance way where the music cuts to “Style” by Taylor Swift playing throughout the arena.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to a special Saturday night edition of Breakdown! We are in Salt Lake City and the world is still buzzing about the end of Clarity!”

Knots: “No Clarity at all! Sienna Swann may have won the SCW World Championship, but Kellen Jeffries, using his Trios Tournament contract, changed everything. The End of the Year Special Open Invitational is now for the World Title!”

Sienna Swann walks out from the back, holding the SCW World Championship. Xiomara is with her as they look out at the crowd as they boo her. She scans the crowd before shaking her head and starting to walk down the rampway. Xiomara walks alongside her and the SCW World Champion reaches the bottom of the ramp. She walks up the steel steps and then along the apron before stepping into the ring. The crowd boos as Sienna steps forward and holds the SCW World Championship over her head. The crowd continues to boo her and Xiomara enters the ring. She walks across and demands Jason Phillips hand her a microphone. Phillips obliges as Xiomara takes it. She steps back and looks around before turning to Sienna. She says something to her before Sienna takes the microphone. The music fades out.

Sharper: “And we are starting off with the SCW World Champion.”

Knots: “Proudly holding that title. Probably holds it as tight as she does to her not-son!”

Sienna Swann looks around and the boos continue.

Sienna: “I understand this is a dry state, but you could be more respectful.”

The crowd boos.

Sienna: “Because I am your World Champion! That’s right! Not James Evans! Not Owen Cruze! Definitely not Syren! I, yet again, proved that I am better than all of them!”

The crowd boos more. A “James!” chant begins.

Knots: “Yeah. Helps if an army gets involved and James has no one on his side.”

Sharper: “Everyone knew the situation though.

Sienna: “Now I should be standing here and talking about how we can finally have something new. Owen Cruze, your little crusade is over. I am simply better. James Evans…”

The crowd roars.

Sienna: “Your violent tendencies were no match for the IronAngel. And Syren…you should be at the back of the line. On a night where Kelcey Wallace is going to make an appearance…”

The crowd cheers again. Sienna glares at the crowd.

Sienna: “You rightly are not only starting Breakdown with me, but I deserve all of the spotlight. I am your greatest World Champion and that’s not even close to an exaggeration. No one can touch me. And I should be getting ready to share the ring with someone who is going to have their first title match, get all nervous, and then find out that they’re not in my league. But instead…Instead…”

Sienna turns around and shakes her head.

Sienna: “But instead, we stand here, now 17 days away before New Year’s Eve where I’ll have to face against a whole field of unknowns. Kellen Jeffries walked out from the back and declared that he was using his Trios Tournament contract to make the End of the Year Open Invitational for MY title.”

Sienna looks down as the crowd erupts in cheers. Sienna looks around.

Sienna: “That’s not cause for joy. It’s a travesty. I should be getting respect. I should not have to jump through these hoops. All because Kellen Jeffries has pissed off virtually anyone who matters in this sport, trying to give a Christmas give for easy redemption. The World Championship is not a gift! It is mine!”

The crowd boos loudly.

Sienna: “But what’s worse is with all of this…it makes one thing clear…Sasha is a liar.”

Sienna looks around. The crowd boos.

Sienna: “I defeated Owen Cruze. Syren didn’t even make it to face me and James Evans was down at my feet by the end of the night! And I should be moving on. But now, I could face all three of them in seventeen days. No rematches?! Give me a break! And you knew about this. You made that clear earlier in the night when you answered that question from your subpar interviewer about the vote for the End of the Year Special. And so Sasha…you know, I think you and I need to have some clarity of our own…”

Sienna pauses as she looks down a moment, a smirk on her face.

Sienna: “See Sasha, I’ve already beaten three of your best. I know you don’t want this title around my waist, but the fact is that this championship is MINE. It craves me! And when you hear those naïve brats talk about tradition, yeah I heard that ridiculousness Owen…well, Sasha, if you care about tradition, as you seem to, giving Owen his time at the time. Well Calamity Cruze crashed and burned. You need a stable champion and that’s me…and traditionally, the World Champion had a relationship with the promoter. With the owner. With the person calling the shots as they valued their most important athlete and star. Well, Sasha, that is me.”

Sienna looks at the camera.

Sienna: “You have broken your word. And I can read between the lines. I heard the number of times you weren’t happy. You weren’t happy about Xander Valentine, a situation YOU abetted. You weren’t happy about Kellen. Well you were powerless to stop it. I heard him, the BOARD approved it. Well, I’m sure I can convince the Board of Directors just how valuable I am. You’re losing your place and you’re slipping. So Sasha, this is simple. I will make sure you and I have a face to face later tonight. I will come out to the ring and I want you to look in my eyes and be honest. You hate me. But Sasha, you’ve got nothing. You’re a figurehead. No one respects you and they frankly shouldn’t. But I’m willing to give you a second chance. You start to listen to your most valuable wrestler, your CHAMPION. And SCW can finally be what it should be with me at its helm. Perfect!”

Sienna then looks around at the crowd.

Sienna: “And trust me…this won’t be for the people…It will be for ME!”

Sienna brings the microphone down. The crowd boos as “Style” by Taylor Swift plays.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann clearly unhappy, but also not wasting time.”

Knots: “She clearly wants a better relationship with Sasha. But one for her. Is this Xiomara’s idea? Is it hers? It can’t be coincidence that this comes on a night that Kelcey Wallace is returning to SCW!”

Sharper: “Undoubtedly, but also calling Sasha out for apparently lying, hiding Kellen Jeffries’ announcement.”

Sienna Swann poses with the title as cameras cut to the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots here at ringside and we’ve mentioned it a few times. Kelcey Wallace will return, speaking to the world tonight about everything she’s been through.”

Knots: “Notice how Sienna said little?’

Sharper: “Definitely. Staying on her own message. But that’s not all.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen before a still of Selena Frost vs. Autumn Valentine comes up on the screen.

Knots: “Speaking of people who may take issue with Sasha stunning…Selena Frost will be in action. She’ll face Autumn Valentine. She barely survived the Last Person Standing match against Xander Valentine at Clarity.”

Sharper: “Indeed and along with that, tag team action....”

The Breakodwn logo comes up again before a shot of Jake Starr & Jordan Majors vs. Las Bandidas de Gata Negra comes up.

Sharper: “…The Tag Division had that same call for Clarity. The Bandidas wanted a World Tag Team Championship shot. They won’t have that, but they will face Jake Starr and Jordan Majors tonight in a match that could have plenty of ramifications with a wide open field for who could challenge Infamous, the new champions. Plenty more to come tonight too as we expect to hear from many of the top stars who will undoubtedly have something to say after Clarity and Kellen Jeffries’ Trios Tournament announcement.”

Breakdown cuts backstage.

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage where Jessica Winters is with Kimberly Williams.”

The crowd roars as Jessica Winters smiles in the backstage area with Kim Williams standing next to her.

Jessica: “Thank you Adam. Kim, and I hope this is Kim.”

Kim: “Stabby stabby. Oh wait. Am I supposed to be a bit more animated?”

Jessica: “I’ll take it as you. You managed some measure of revenge against Christy Matthews, bludgeoning her at ringside at Clarity, muting their celebration. You didn’t walk out Tag Champions-“

Kim: “And part of me is sad about that but part of that is rather freeing. Because Christy Matthews got a clear message. All of SCW did. Attack my sister and you deal with me. Now we may not be tag champions and part of me is sad. I’ll try and shed a tear, but it’s a bit hard on command. Give me a moment.”

Kim squints, trying to shed a tear. Jessica looks at her before turning to the camera. Kim keeps trying.

Kim: “Nope…apparently, I don’t know how to do that. Anyway…it means Marie can finally do what she should be doing. Going for the World Title. Things like what Kellen did has to be seen as a bit of a sign. I’m not the superstitious but screw it. Maybe this means it. But now Marie can get back to getting to the top of the game. All of it. And me…well…I can do what I need to do while making sure Marie is safe. And making sure…I have plenty of fun too. SCW…we’re just getting started...and if anyone takes me lightly…watch Clarity. The only reason I stopped was because a bell rang. And Christy…you better never try anything like that again!”

Kim looks at the camera intensely before stopping and smiling at Jessica.

Jessica: “Uh…thanks for that Kim and we’ll see what you and Marie accomplish in the coming months.”

Kim: “Oh…it will be plenty. Stabby! Stabby! STABBY!”

Kim chuckles and walks off as Jessica nods.

Jessica: “Breakdown returns after this.”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

A panning shot of the inside of the Vivint Smart Home Arena indicates the return to live action at Breakdown.

Sharper: “Welcome back to what is a special night for SCW folks, a rare case of Supreme Championship Wrestling bringing you some good old fashion wrasslin’ on Saturday!!”

Knots: “I know!! I still can’t remember the last time we did this; makes a change and we still have another show to bring you on Weds!!”

Sharper: “This all before the End of Year Show where that bombshell was dropped at the end of the Main Event from Kellen Jefferies, everyone, anyone has a shot at the SCW World Championship in the End of Year Battle Royal!!”

Knots: “Craziness abound, bitching all over, complaints and that’s just from the SCW Champion! But Speaking of champions, we have ourselves a defence for the TV Championship!”

All of a sudden, the arena goes dark and the opening riff of “Escribe Una Canción” starts to play. As the intro pauses, the sound of a shotgun being cocked is heard. As the music kicks back in, the camera angle changes to under the stage where El Lucho Grande is seen shaking his head profusely while pointing at the contraption that sends him into the air. Instead he leaps up and grabs onto the sides of the hole in the stage and pulls himself up instead in a far less endearing way… We can see Venti throwing his arms up into the air underneath the stage while Grande rolls onto the safely and leaps into the air on his own accord to a small pop of pyro, Television Championship firmly around his waist…

Phillips: “From Soconusco in Mexico… ELLLLLLLL LUCHOOOOO GRANDEEEEEE!!!”

Grande looks back down the trapdoor and shakes his head again talking to someone before realizing he has a match entrance to finish. Grande spins around and looks surprised at the fan turnout for this show. But this does not deter him, and he immediately bursts to the ring. He hits the ring and slides in, rolling to a knee and spreading his arms with a bicep flex and pointing to the sky pose before standing and pointing to his waist proudly. He then jumps up and throws his arms in the air and walks around the ring excitedly and waits for the match to begin, his manager Nate Patrick now somehow mysteriously stood at ringside from wherever he turned up from and accepts the SCW Television Championship from his client...

Sharper: “One half of El Lucho Brothers, El Lucho Grande might look odd. But surprised us all when he captured the Television Championship from a very game Aaron Blackbourne.”

Knots: “He certainly took advantage of the interruption from Shilo Valiant, but who wouldn’t when you have the chance to be champion?”

Sharper: “It was unfortunate, but here he is as Champion and with a successful defense against Cassidy Carter and now the chance to go toe to toe to dare I say a redeemed, Casterillo?”

Knots: “We’ll find out in just a moment…”

The crowd roars some more for El Lucho Grande that motions with his arms, the champions seemingly a growing favourite of the SCW crowd. Jason Phillips stands dead center in the ring and looks around with a smile before raising the mic…

Phillips: “And his opponent…”

All eyes divert to the stage now and wait, a few moments pass and the crowd begins to buzz, a camera shows El Lucho Grande shrugging his shoulders to a few fans in the front row. The focus of everyone however all returns to the stage when instead of Casterillos Music… “Queen:” by Loren Gray plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage instead with a microphone in hand, instantly the SCW Fans begin to boo loudly…

Sharper: “Why is she out here?!”

Knots: “Like she needs a reason, she’s the Goddess of SCW, she goes where she pleases.”

Katie walks a little further on the stage and stares down to the ring where El Lucho Grande Stands, with his hands now on his hips…

Katie: “Cut my Music!”

The music stops…

Katie: “I know you were expecting someone else, the ugly and talentless Casterillo… A man whom you all have grown to admire somewhat. Well guess what, he doesn’t care about you, if he did, he would be here but no, I am her! Your Goddess is here to rescue you all like I have Hollywood already!!”

The SCW fans boo loudly now with Katie slowly walking further down the ramp… El Lucho Grande has his fingers in his ears…

Katie: “And now the Stewards, we’re going to take over Television! We’re going to take THAT Championship from you El Lucho Grande and put it on the waist of a Steward where it belongs!!”

Sharper: “What is she talking about Casterillo isn’t here?!”

Knots: “I don’t know, but I’m hearing now that is true… So, what does that mean for this defense?”

Katie smirks while looking at the crowd who continue to boo her…

Katie: “So instead of seeing a loser take on this joke of a champion, a champion which hides behind a mask… You will see a STEWARD stand tall as your Champion!!”

The crowd boo’s loudly, all thoughts looking at Katie who isn’t dressed to compete all the same, suddenly once more… There is an interruption when “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 embracing the fans hate for her.

Sharper: “Gigi now coming out… Is she taking Casterillo’s place?!”

Knots: “Looks like it…”

Gigi Steward vs. El Lucho Grande

SCW Television Championship

She begins is march to the walk to the ring walking with a purpose. She 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 as Katie now begins to walk down to stand at ringside… Phillips listens to his ear piece before looking at both stars in the ring, ate Patrick handing the official the TV Championship…

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, the following contes-“

Suddenly Before Phillips could finish, the sound of a familiar horn blares loudly in the arena, one that sounds like it belongs to a mariachi band… All eyes focus on the stage once more when a Tuk Tuk begins to drive out from the backstage area, the driver being El Lucho Venti, hanging from the back is El Lucho Trenta, both getting a warm reception from the SCW Fans! However, Jason Phillips throws his arms up into the air frustrated now as well having been interrupted yet again… All the while Katie looks on incensed at the interruption as the two drive down towards the ring, the Tuk Tuk almost hitting Katie in the process before drawing to a stop at ringside…

Sharper: “Grandes brother and cousin are now out here to even the odds and Katie is not best pleased.”

Knots: “The odds are not in the Steward clan’s favour right now, although it is Venti and Trenta, so either are hardly on Katies level.”

The crowd roars when El Lucho Grande throws a thumbs up to Venti and Trenta, who in turn return the favour. The two Luchadores outside of the ring exit to ringside and remove two aprons and begin to put them on. Trenta opens up the side of the Tuk Tuk to reveal a Coffee machine with all manner of dials and options on it… Venti whips out a note pad and asks Phillips for an order before rushing past Katie and ignoring her to take one from the official of the match, the time keeper and… Suddenly the Bell sounds when Gigi runs at El Lucho Grande and leaps into the air hitting the unsuspecting Champion with a forearm shot. He falls back into the corner with Gigi driving a knee into his gut now and again and again. She then sends him across the ring for an Irish whip, however the TV Champion reverses it and it is Gigi who heads to the opposite corner instead. She however runs up the corner as El Lucho Grande runs after her and she leaps back off the top turnbuckle for a cross body which Grande catches. He then throws her up into the air, but she adjusts her weight and lands behind Grande and chop blocks the back of his leg dropping him down to a knee.

Sharper: “Ooh, nice counter there and shot to the knee. Grande might not be the fastest out of the Lucho Brothers, but he certainly can still move.”

Gigi smirks and runs the ropes directly in front of Grande and makes the return, the larger Luchador however jumps up and hits a running lariat on the incoming Gigi Steward, the impact sending her into a three sixty spin. The Champion then turns to Venti and Trenta and offers thumbs up! Trenta turns around and does just that while Venti has taken orders from now Sharper and Knots too.

Knots: “I’ll admit their coffee isn’t that bad, it knows how to reach the spot.”

Grande in the ring turns to Gigi who rolls to her knees and then her feet, she runs at him and the two lock up. She tugs at the mask a little to boos from the crowd. Grande grabs at it to keep it in place and she uses that moment to kick at the leg she chops blocked. She hits another and this time kicks him in the gut doubling him over before connecting with a DDT into the canvas and a quick cover!

1… KICK OUT BY GRANDE!!

Grande rolls away holding his head and shakes out the cobwebs, Katie screams at Gigi to win the match while Nate Patrick looks on concerned already. Trenta can suddenly be seen at the Tuk Tuk playing around with the coffee machine, some steam shooting out of it startling him, a few fans and Katie who backs off a little… Some of the fans chuckle just a little as Katie snaps at them to shut up, she then rushes up to Trenta and gets in his face screaming as he covers his ears if he had any due to the mask and stumbles back into the machine… Venti is talking to Patrick briefly while in the ring Grande is back on his feet now. Gigi smirks as he looks at the commotion outside, she rushes over, but Grande was ready and spins around with a kick into her gut doubling her over. He then runs the ropes to the side and connects with a running knee lift on the return.

Sharper: “The champions awareness of his surroundings on full display. He knew what Gigi was doing it looked like.”

Knots: “He seems to be getting more and more used to the SCW style, I heard he has been watching a lot of the old shows.”

Katie snaps at Trenta demanding a Latte while inside the ring El Lucho Grande walks over to the ropes having heard the screaming from Katie and yells “NO!” while pointing at her through the ropes. The SCW fans laugh again while Katie gives El Lucho Grande the death stare. Trenta turns back to the machine but the SCW fans beging to roar loudly for Grandes attention when Gigi runs up behind him and rolls him up with a School girl.

1..

2.. NO KICK OUT BY GRANDE!

The TV Champion rolls to his feet and gets caught with a running knee to the face, once again Gigi covers.

1… KICK OUT BY GRANDE!!

Sharper: “Two quick pin attempts, the latter lasting shorter than the first and Katie Steward, not happy she isn’t getting a coffee.”

Knots: “She’s a goddess, she deserves her Latte!”

Katie Steward pushes Trenta to the side and starts to look at the Tuk Tuk’s coffee machine and begins to play with the dials on it. Inside the ring Gigi pulls Grande to his feet and chops him across the chest, she hits another which gets a “Woooo” from the crowd, she hits one more with Grande now standing there and looking at her angrily at her… She tries to hit him again and succeeds but it has little effect, instead he chops her with an open over hand chop with gets a loud “WOOO” from the SCW fans. Gigi winces holding her chest she tries to get away but Grande sends her to the corner with a thunderous Irish whip, he quickly follows up running at the corner and leaping into the air and holding onto the back of her head while standing on her thighs…

Knots: “We know where this is going…”

Grandes amigo’s off a thumbs up as Grande hits a monkey flip on Gigi Steward, the young woman flies into he air and lands on the canvas hard as Katie continues to turn dials at ringside… That proves to be a problem for the Goddess now as the Tuk Tuk begins to shake…

Sharper: “Katie un-aware of what happening in the ring, although… Why is that Tuk Tuk shaking…”

Trenta and Venti hold their hands their heads in shock as the Tuk Tuk begins to shake from side to side as steam begins to fire out from it from all sides… Katie slowly beginning to back up but Trenta and Venti hold her in front of themselves as a human shield while Security begins to evacuate the front row area…

Knots: “Oh god, what the hell did they do?! Well it was nice knowing you Sharper.”

Grande turns around and rubs his eyes and gasps at the Tuk Tuks vigorous shaking and quickly grabs Gigi and throws her towards the ropes. A few fans begin to scream now as does Katie who is being held still as a shield, the Tuk Tuk exploding with a barrage of cream which hits Katie and some members of the crowd!! Gigi looks on shocked at what just happened as Katie stands there covered both Trenta and Venti slowly backing away from the angry Goddess who is now screaming louder than she has ever screamed before!!

Sharper: “Thank god that happened, and it wasn’t something far more serious!!”

Knots: “What you mean, now I won’t get my coffee!!!”

Gigi says something to Katie but doesn’t have much time to hear the response if there ever was one with El Lucho Grande rushing up behind Gigi and rolling her up with a schoolboy of his own.

1…

2…

3!!!

Gigi kicks out just after the three count with Grande putting his full weight into the pin fall. The bell quickly sounds and “Escribe Una Canción” by DON and Grande quickly gets up and holds out two thumbs before getting his arm raised by the official… The SCW fans roar as Gigi hits the mat but quickly rolls out of the ring and rushes to Katie who is still covered in the cream from the Tuk Tuk…

Sharper: “A distraction from that Tuk Tuk and now Grande has two title defences under him.”

Knots: “Messy win for Grande, that school boy being enough to seal the victory thanks to that Tuk Tuk and its coffee machine… Man I really wanted that coffee too…”

Grande has now exited the ring with the TV Championship over his shoulder and joined Nate, Trenta and Venti on the ramp as officials come down and a clean up crew to remove the broken Tuk Tuk and check on Katie who looks mortified….

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see James Evans walking backstage, holding a baseball bat. The crowd roars seeing this sight.

Knots: “Wait a minute! He doesn’t need a weapon!”

Sharper: “He has one. James Evans is here and he’s got a bat! He’s got a long list of people he has an issue with! Chris Cannon! Syren! Those masked individuals!”

Knots: “They were the only ones who didn’t get involved at Clarity!”

Sharper: “Well he’s here and what’s he got in mind?!”

James Evans continues to walk down the hallway as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, Sasha can be seen standing with Selena as Selena looks at her, shaking her head.

Selena: “I still don’t get this. Because he now knows there’s limits?”

Sasha: “I already told you. The decision has been made-“

Selena: “By who? You or the board or who?”

Sasha: “Look, I’m not crazy about the idea.”

Selena: “Sasha…I’ve supported you for this whole year….”

Selena pauses.

Selena: “I just wish you had told me before Xander Valentine showed up. Gave me some clue. At least approached me. Got my opinion, when he went after my fans. He can claim whatever he wants. I have ZERO respect for him, even after Clarity. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve proven that I CAN beat him and put him out, now not only once, but twice. So if he gets out of line-“

Sasha: “He won’t. It’s not worth it to him.”

Selena: “Think that all you want. Tell the board that too…but I’ve seen it time and time again.”

Selena shakes her head.

Selena: “Sorry. But this just pisses me off. And I’m going to take it out on Autumn Valentine tonight. Because well…that’s the only option I now have. Even after beating him at Clarity.”

Selena walks off as Sasha looks down and sighs. We cut back to the ring.

Kelsai Adamson-Mason vs. Derek Adonis

“Let Love In” by The Goo Goo Dolls plays throughout the arena as the crowd cheers some. Kelsai Adamson-Mason walks out from the back smiling widely and looks around as Amy Chastaine walks out with her and stands with her. Kelsai looks out and takes a deep breath as she then starts to head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a fifteen minute time limit, is for the SCW Television Championship and is your main event of the evening. First, the challenger, accompanied by Amy Chastaine, from Seattle, Washington, she is Kelsai Adamson-Mason!”

Getting to the ring, Kelsai jumps from the floor to the ring apron before she steps through the ropes, reveals her simple all white attire, and goes to her corner. She puts on her smile, waving a bit before she gets ready for her match. Amy Chastaine walks around and goes to her corner.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason about to be in action. She was a rising star earlier this year. Some time away and now looking to get back on track.”

Knots: “Yeah, he match against Peyton Rice was a highlight for us, but wasn’t able to take advantage. Can she now?”

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be “graced” by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis! Cookie is with her, but Derek looks less than pleased.

Sharper: “Derek Adonis not his usual upbeat self. We were supposed to get some vignettes about KABLAMas.”

Knots: “The most explosive time of the year!”

Sharper: “Well…let’s take a look.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. The scene opens up with the tunes of Jingle Bells playing in the background as we cut to a shot of a bear female leg, lying on a heart-shaped bed. The camera pans across the body of what is presumably Cookie as Cookie can be heard speaking.

Cookie: “The holidays can be a relaxing season. One where you and your partner can engage in fantasies…”

The camera continues to pan across, passing a pair of KABLAnties.

Cookie: “Where you can forget all of the troubles of life, of money, of work…”

The camera pans across Cookie torso, where she leans forward, wearing a matching bra. The camera pans to her face and we notice a black eye that’s covered up by some makeup as Cookie smiles, about to continue.

Cookie: “And with the twelve days of KABLAMas-“

Derek: “Stop. Stop…This isn’t right. It’s not…”

Cookie turns and moves to a seated position. Adonis just sits down next to Cookie, completely defeated.

Cookie: “What’s wrong? We can try again.”

Derek: “It’s not that.”

Cookie: “Is it the lighting? We can turn the lights off, on, try something different. We have candles.”

Derek: “It’s not the set. It’s not that…it’s…Sienna’s bodyguard sucker punched you. And…”

Cookie: “It’s fine. The black eye. It will heal.”

Derek: “This is supposed to be a happy time of year. Where all our dreams come true. And the most ugly of them all ruined it and I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t be your protector. We’re talking about forgetting the problems of work and one of them is right on the camera.”

Derek sighs and then gets up and walks off.

Cookie: “Derek! Wait!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We cut back to live action to see Derek Adonis in the ring, looking out. Cookie is trying to keep energy up, bouncing and trying to get the crowd going. Kelsai looks at Derek a bit concerned as she turns to Cookie. Notably, Cookie’s black eye has now gone.

Sharper: “You can see Derek upset that he couldn’t stop Xiomara or even protect Cookie. Derek and Cookie have become closer and closer over the year.”

Knots: “Yeah, well Cookie’s healed now. She’s happy.”

Sharper: “They have filmed others, but Adonis is notably upset. Clearly the man has grown in his time this year.”

The bell sounds as Kelsai looks at Adonis. Adonis takes a deep breath and Kelsai starts to head toward him. Adonis watches as Kelsai then goes to grab at the arm. Derek pulls away and over to the ropes. Cookie turns and walks over to him. Kelsai backs up, as Kelsai and Cookie clearly talk.

Cookie: “Come on Derek. Forget about Clarity!”

Kelsai: “Yeah…we’re get justice! The End of the Year Open Invitational!”

Cookie: “Yeah! Could make it a KABLAMing new year!”

Derek sighs and looks around as a “KABLAM!” chant starts to echo out. Kelsai looks around. Cookie points to them, jumping up and down, in time with the chants. Derek looks around and listens and nods.

Sharper: “Looks like Kelsai and Cookie and these fans in Salt Lake City are getting Derek Adonis back in order!”

Knots: “Of course they are. They love the KABLAMA Sutra here. Every family buys twelve.”

Adonis turns and nods. He then does a little gyration, getting a cheer from the crowd. Kelsai laughs a bit as Amy Chastaine shakes her head on the outside. Derek then steps forward and Kelsai asks if he’s ready. He nods. He then steps forward and Kelsai goes for a drop toe hold. Derek drops down and Kelsai moves into a side headlock. Adonis holds on and rolls over and Kelsai rolls off. Both get up and Kelsai runs at Derek. Derek sidesteps her and sends her in. She bounces off and Derek clotheslines her down. Kelsai hits the mat. Derek goes for the pin.

Kelsai kicks out. Derek rolls off and starts to get up. Kelsai gets up and Derek moves to Kelsai and Kelsai ducks under and clubs him in the back and then again.

Sharper: “Kelsai and Derek going at it here. Kelsai clubbing Adonis in the back!”

Knots: “Amy looking on. This may be the most unique start to a match for both of these two.”

Kelsai shoves Derek forward. He stops and turns around and Kelsai hits a dropkick. Derek hits the mat. Kelsai goes for the pin.

Adamson-Mason goes for the pin.

Adonis kicks out again.

Sharper: “Kelsai looking good here. A nice enziguri and gets a two!”

Knots: “Yeah, but Adonis kicking out. Maybe she made a mistake, getting him happy to compete. Getting him back to normal.”

Kelsai gets up and pulls Adonis up and moves him into the corner. Kelsai chops him. The crowd woos. She then grabs Adonis and goes to whip him across, but Adonis spins through and sends Kelsai in.

Kelsai kicks out. Adonis gets up and turns to the corner. He does a little gyration as the crowd roars. Kelsai slowly pulls herself up and Adonis runs at her and hits a clothesline. He then turns and goes for an elbow drop, but Kelsai rolls out of the way. Adonis winces and rolls over.

Sharper: “Kelsai just a bit too quick. Missed elbow by Man Mountain.”

Knots: “Or just scouting. I mean, the man can only move so fast.”

Kelsai nips up and Adonis gets up and Kelsai kicks him in the ribs and hits a DDT. The crowd ohs. Kelsai then goes for the pin.

Adonis kicks out. Both get up and Kelsai forearms him in the jaw and then again and again. She runs into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a crucifix, but Adonis just drops down and lays on top of her.

Knots: “Adonis just figuring out how to climb to his feet!”

Adonis staggers up to his feet and Kelsai dives off and hits a missile dropkick. Adonis falls back and to his back. Kelsai crawls over and hooks the leg.

Adonis gets his shoulder up. Kelsai looks down and Adonis rolls over. The crowd cheers for Adonis. Cookie cheers on Adonis as Kelsai grabs Adonis.

The crowd roars. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Kelsai Adamson-Mason!”

The crowd cheers a bit as Cookie pulls herself into the ring. Amy Chastaine walks up the steel steps and steps into the ring. Kelsai has her arm raised as she turns and turns to Derek, checking on him. Amy walks over and raises Kelsai’s arm.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason having a hell of a contest. Hits the double shot and gets the win here in Salt Lake City!”

Knots: “But Christmas 2019 not what Adonis or KABLAM Labs wanted. No victory tonight!”

Adonis remains down as Cookie checks on him. Kelsai turns and checks on him too as we cut away.

Backstage, Jaina Lancaster is in the interview area with Aaron Blackbourne. The crowd cheers seeing him.

Jaina: “Thank you Adam. I am here with Aaron Blackbourne and Aaron, Shilo Valiant did appear at Clarity. He made you wait and then you competed before the match ended in a draw. Hardly a successful outing. But one thing people are talking about, even with the announcement for the End of the Year Special Open Invitational is that the two of you were having a classic. Are you going to call Shilo Valiant out again?”

Aaron: “I would like to. The problem is that I’m not in the mood for these games. He can talk about me being the future. Or being special and then he’ll turn around and take it all away by relying on tired tactics. Coming out to distract me. Making me wait. I’m not sure if this is someone who was known for his creativity and entertainment and instead someone who wants to milk the spotlight one last time. We have plenty of people who do that. Just look at our World Champion. Just look at Syren, who I defeated at Apocalypse.”

Aaron pauses for a moment.

Aaron: “But I’m going to put the onus on Shilo. Because if I’m right, you’re not going to just leave me be. And before you start thinking about it, if you’re looking at the World Championship at End of the Year Special…I’ll be right there to say hi. Because Shilo, there is a long record on you and I’m just getting started. You want creativity…watch tonight…watch against Clyde Sutter. A brute. Someone who I wanted a few weeks back and I’m going to get tonight for going after a friend of mine, someone who is doing things the right way in Alistaire Allocco.”

The crowd roars.

Aaron: “And Sutter…I’m not in the mood for games.”

Jaina: “Thank you for your time and good luck Aaron.”

Aaron: “Thanks.”

Jaina: “Aaron Blackbourne will face Clyde Sutter later tonight and has a message for Shilo Valiant.”

Aaron walks off. Breakdown cuts to a panning shot of the crowd.

Sharper: “Thank you Jaina. We’ll find out what will happen there. Along with that, Selena Frost will face Autumn Valentine. Sienna Swann has called out the boss. And we know James Evans, Syren, and Owen Cruze will speak. Kelcey Wallace also to join us. So much to come here tonight on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

Backstage, Breakdown returns as Spirit Dansby standing by with Rachel Tatum Lee. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I am Spirit Dansby and I am with the new number one contender to the SCW United States Championship, Rachel Tatum Lee. Rachel, you defeated Scarlet Grey at Clarity. You’ve been targeting Bree for months. All since you ruined her Boston Bree Party. Now you’ve managed to finally earn the shot. Are you ready to challenge someone who frankly has racked up impressive wins against a series of hall of famers?”

Rachel: “Oh Spirit…y’all are makin’ this nice and easy. I mean ya think that I’m either in over yer head or ya don’t think beatin’ Scarlet is good enough. Also in that question, ya missed somethin.”

Spirit: “What’s that?”

Rachel: “I beat those same people too. Now, Spirit, I know yer in tight with them Beauty Factory folks. With Bree. Mind passin’ a message to them?”

Spirit just looks at Rachel.

Rachel: “Good. See, tell Bree that she should look in the face. Ask herself…which part of it she likes least. Is it her brow…her cheek…maybe her nose…maybe her lip. Either way, I’ll give her a free trip to tha plastic surgeon. See, I’ve been waitin’ fer months. I’ve just become more and more pissed off by the week and Bree knows that. Why else would she rush off ta deal with Katie, challengin’ her to defend her title when I kicked her ass. But Bree can find out ya don’t mess with the Violent Kind…ya might get hurt. And I might walk out US Champion!”

Spirit: “We’ll see.”

Rachel smirks.

Rachel: “We will. Well, Bree may not. Depends on if I close her eyes with my right hand.”

Rachel turns and walks off as the crowd roars. Spirit looks at Rachel with disgust as we cut away.

“Just A Dream” by Nelly plays throughout the arena, a gold spotlight with blue flashers begin to circle the entranceway. The crowd cheers before London and Paris Truelove walk out from the back. They look out at the crowd and then start to walk down to the ring.

Sharper: “The Truelove Twins have had a rough ride since Rise to Greatness. But they made a statement last night, walking out to ringside to confront the new Tag Team Champion, Ravyn Taylor.”

Knots: “Couldn’t approach Christy Matthews as she was still recovering from Kim Williams kicking her ass. But the Trueloves know one thing. With the clearing of the deck, they now have a shot to get back into title contention.”

London and Paris reach the ringside area and split off before London walks up one set of steps while Paris walks around to the other side, grabbing two microphones waiting for them. She enters the ring as London does too. London walks over as the crowd looks on. Paris hands London one of the microphones as Paris walks around the ring. London looks out too before the music fades out.

Paris: “Ravyn…Christy…I hope you got our message.”

London: “I don’t know. They claim to be smart, but maybe we need to spell it out for them.”

Paris: “Shall we then?”

London: “With the decks cleared, it looks like it’s a wide open field for those World Tag Team Championships!”

Paris: “And don’t worry. We already know we’ll hear the same – we’ve gotten opportunities but couldn’t get it done. We can rise to the top, but can’t stay there. Well, let’s just say after Christy’s meteoric rise, pointing out how she wanted to hold a title that she claims was hers ten years ago, we’ve been motivated too!”

London: “How motivated?”

Paris: “Motivated to kick your legs out from under you and take your head off at the same time!”

The crowd roars.

London: “And we figured that we would just make sure you did see what you have awaiting you. You weren’t seeing double. And Christy, don’t worry…you’ll have the time to get better after Kim beat the ever-loving hell out of you and trust me, we smiled the entire time.”

Paris: “See, this is no longer about someone else. This is about us. And we’ve had a bullseye on those titles for so long. We tripped, we fell…”

London: “Fell hard.”

Paris: “But we are not giving up. So Infamous…no games, no long-term plotting and scheming. We just have one goal…to take those titles from you!”

London: “Sounds like a lovely idea!”

The crowd cheers before the lights dim a bit as Nada Como Tú begins to play, a bit of fog slowly beginning to form on the stage as golden orange lights pulse in rhythm with the guitars.

Sharper: “Wait a minute. One team may be quickly taking issue with this. Las Bandidas think they should have the shot!”

Knots: “They said as much two and a half weeks ago on Breakdown! They challenged the champions. They’re not facing the champions tonight!”

Slowly, we see a figure crawling through it, almost like a cat trying to remain hidden before it pounces on its prey. When the main beat of the song kicks in, the figure picks up the pace until she reaches the end of the stage, crouching as she's far enough away from the fog to reveal herself to be Maria Vencejo. Not too far behind her is Valeria Garcia, her eyes slowly roaming over the fans with a cold, emotionless look. She looks down at Maria and a smile actually forms on her lips as she reaches down and helps her partner to a stand as the lyrics begin. Valeria has a microphone in her hand as London and Paris turn to the entrance way. Their music fades out.

Valeria: “I think you should step back in line!”

Paris: “One win doesn’t get you anywhere.”

Valeria: “One win against a top contender gets us farther than you.”

Valeria steps up.

Valeria: “Or should you two be reminded about the fact that the last significant match you had in the division saw Selena Frost and Regan Street defeat you!”

Valeria and Maria start to walk down to the ring. London and Paris watch them.

London: “I think we have a lot of teams in the division that don’t have the history we have.”

Valeria: “And history is only useful if its relevant. And in your case, you pointed it out…what are you going to do if you do get the shot!”

Valeria and Maria hop onto the apron. They look into the ring. Valeria and Maria, who are in their wrestling attire, step into it. They step forward. The crowd roars.

Paris: “You want to be snippy. How about the fact that we’ve always beaten the Red Empire-“

Valeria: “Except at Rise to Greatness…”

Paris turns away, clearly biting her tongue. London steps up.

London: “Valeria and….”

Valeria: “Maria.”

London: “Maria…I think there is a simple way to fix that. Las Bandidas of no longer the Red Empire against us!”

The crowd roars.

Valeria: “Too bad our night is full. And not with the match we wanted. Because if we had that, we could prove us right with the titles on the line. But I guess we don’t always get what we want.”

Just then, the opening chords of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to echo throughout the stadium. With each opening drum beat, the logo of the Social Misfits flashes on the jumbotron...

Yeah, I get it you're an outcast
Always under attack always coming in last
Bringing up the past no one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast a kick in the ass
So paranoid

WATCH YOUR BACK!

With those words, an explosion or pyro shoots high into the air from the stage and in front of the stage in another wall of sparks. Lights start to circle the arena as several spotlights turn to the stage. Jake Starr walks out from the back and looks around with Jordan Majors alongside him. The two step out as Jake Starr looks in the ring, pointing to them. Notably, he has a microphone in his hand too.

Starr: “Hold up! Hold up. There are four of ya. Now I had been away, and I looked at my little book backstage, and I didn’t see anyone that had the ability to perform mitosis on the roster!”

Majors leans over and says something to Starr, speaking in his ear. Starr perks up.

Starr: “Oh! We’re just taking on the cat cosplayers. Well, then, can the doublemint twins please leave the ring. We have a tag team match to win!”

Majors shakes her head. London and Paris turn to one another before Paris steps up to Valeria and Maria.

Paris: “Don’t choke.”

Paris and London step out and through the ropes. Valeria and Maria watch them before walking forward and setting up for their match. “Sound of Madness” starts to play again as Jake Starr tosses the microphone behind him. He and Jordan start to make their way to the ring.

Sharper: “Jake Starr wants to fight. Jordan Majors with him. Trueloves exiting. We’re going to have Tag Team action when we return here on Breakdown from Salt Lake City!”

Knots: “Las Bandidas are going to have their hands full in this one! Better have big bags!”

Maria Vencejo and Valeria Garcia wait in the ring as Jake Starr and Jordan Majors continue to walk down to the ring. London and Paris Truelove walk over to them and they look at Jordan Majors as Jordan looks at them. Jake steps up and gets between them, looking at the Trueloves before Jordan steps forward. London and Paris continue to the back as Jake watches them briefly before the scene fades to commercial.

Breakdown returns as we see Jessica Winters walking over to Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews. Alexander Crowe and Christopher Richter are with them.

Jessica: “Ravyn! Christy! You got involved in that tag match between Majors and Starr and Las Bandidas de Gata Negra. You already had a way to move on from Starr and Majors. You won the Tag Titles.”

Ravyn Taylor steps over and looks at Jessica.

Ravyn: “Certainly. But I mean…the Trueloves want their shot at us. But Las Bandidas…had a rough night. Perhaps we should muddy the waters still. Now just watching as the chased instead of the chasers.”

Jessica: “This was just a ploy for your challengers?”

Ravyn: “I know. Rather pedestrian. But much more fun.”

Christy smirks.

Jessica: “Then I may as well ask, since Syren isn’t the World Champion, what is your plan there?”

Crowe walks over and stops Ravyn.

Crowe: “James Evans will find out soon enough.”

The crowd boos as Ravyn smirks and the foursome walk off before we cut back to the ring.

“Exodus” by Henry Mancini plays throughout the arena as the crowd quickly gets to their feet. They don’t know if it is Chris Cannon or not, when suddenly Kelcey Wallace comes out on center stage in jeans, a button up shirt untucked and ankle boots. The arena erupts in cheers, the chant “KELCEY! KELCEY! KELCEY!” begins as she looks around with a smile on her face nodding, saying “Thank you”…

Sharper: “Here she is! The Perfect Ten returns to the SCW! Kelcey said she wanted to address the fans and she meant every word of it! Listen to this ovation, Jon!”

Knots: “Damn good to see her, Adam! She looks to be in the best shape of her life, look at her!”

Kelcey starts to walk to the ring, slapping hands and high fiving the crowd, she hugs a few younger fans and takes a few selfies with them. She then gets to ringside, walks over to the announce table and hugs Adam Sharper, she then smiles, Knots stands up and they embrace as well while handing her a mic, as they are family. The crowd roars…

Sharper: “Great to see you Kelcey!”

Knots: “Looking Perfect, cuz!”

Kelcey winks and gets to the apron, hops up and over the top rope as the crowd cheer at her athletic ability. She stops for a second as the entrance theme dies down, looking around as the crowd continues to cheer. She is overcome with emotion, saying “Thank You” again as they continue to chant her name…

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace is back and I can’t wait to hear what she has to say!”

Knots: “I’m sure it is a lot, everything that happened, I was there with Kennie, it was tough.”

Kelcey waits a second, before brushing her long sandy blonde hair back and nodding….

Kelcey: “Wow.”

The crowd continues to chant… “WELCOME BACK! WELCOME! WELCOME BACK!”…

Kelcey: “I actually should be thanking all of you for this. I love and miss every single person in this arena and around the world watching, nothing beats the feeling of walking through those curtains and hearing all of you screaming and cheering on this great sport that has never left my heart and soul!”

The crowd erupts in cheers….

Kelcey: “I’m back home.”

The arena cheers….

Kelcey: “I believe in modern medicine, and every single day I fight, I pray, and I hope to find a cure one day so maybe, just maybe I could do what I love but I know that right now that is not a possibility. The last few years have been tough for me, I went against Doctor’s orders and became pregnant, all while in the background, behind the scenes I was still working with such talented young wrestlers like Peyton Rice and Owen Cruze to name a few. I will always be in this business, I can never walk away from it and one day I will make a huge impact again but tonight is not about that, it’s about what has been happening in my life, the SCW and my soon to be Ex-husband.”

The crowd boos at the sound of Chris Cannon…

Kelcey: “Before I continue though I want to say THANK YOU for all of your kind messages on Social Media, your love and support mean everything to me. I also want to say I am sorry, sorry for being careless, sorry for being away from so many important events like watching Kennedy and Owen at Rise to Greatness, the performances at Taking Hold of the Flame, Owen’s World Championship win, the TV Title run by Peyton Rice, the war with Selena and Regan vs Xander and so many other intangibles…. The death of Ricky Octavius….”

The crowd goes silent for a second before they start to clap and chant Ricky’s name…

Kelcey: “I missed so much while I was gone and I am sorry that I wasn’t there for my friends, my family, proteges and all of YOU, the fans, the beating heart of the SCW. Those few months of darkness, gave me some light, it showed me that you don’t know what you got until it’s gone like the old Cinderella song. It’s funny, because life works in very weird and mysterious ways, I know some of you have experienced this before, when you think you have everything you want and need, then suddenly it’s either ripped apart from you or the person you loved and trusted never trusted what we had. Chris and I had our disagreements, I may not have handled things well myself when he unintentionally or intentionally helped Sienna Swann beat Kennedy Street for the World Championship.”

Knots: “It was intentional.”

The Perfect Ten paces a little before looking back out at the crowd….

Kelcey: “He though never gave it a chance and though I am not out here to bash Chris, I am not out here to rake him across the coals, what I am here to say is that who you are and the man I once knew? Don’t exist anymore. I came here because after my coma, I realized that my life was changed forever, my child, MY Son is with Chris and Sienna, I wasn’t even able to hold my baby in my arms, but that is now in the courts and doesn’t involve here, my legal battles are my problem but why I came here was simple.”

She pauses as the crowd starts to roar…

Kelcey: “I came back to make up for lost time and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”

The crowd erupts, Sharper and Knots are both surprised….

Sharper: “What does she mean by that!?”

Knots: “I don’t know.”

Kelcey: “Maybe I am a little sick and tired of Chris and Sienna getting their way. I have nothing but the utmost respect for her ability and she has proven she’s a World Champion though her antics are to be questioned, just like Syren and anyone else that needs to cheat their way to the World Championship. Sienna has a tough challenge ahead of her, I know that if anyone can pull it off it’s her. It still doesn’t change the fact how both she and Chris arrived at this point. You can try to screw up my life, I have been through worse, but I will be damned if you are going to ruin SCW!”

The crowd roars, they chant “KELCEY! KELCEY! KELCEY!”….

Kelcey: “Every battle on every front you WILL lose! I have always believed in Chris and Sienna, not in my wildest dreams did I think Chris would leave me for her, but that is fine, he made his choice, I have wept, cried myself to sleep, gone through all the stages of grief, well now I am ready to fight back! I am ready to stand up for myself and stop being a victim! And while I may not be cleared to compete physically, I….”

Suddenly “Prometheus” by Audio Machine starts to play as the arena explodes in boos. Kelcey’s blue eyes look toward the entranceway as Chris Cannon walks out onto the stage in a suit, no tie. He holds a piece of paper up in his hand and looks around before stuffing it into his pocket….

Sharper: “Here comes Chris Cannon and he doesn’t look very happy about this Jon.”

Knots: “He signed the waiver, that is why he is here, he wanted to be here when he found out Kelcey would be!”

Chris continues to make his way to the ring, neither are taking their eyes off each other. He walks around to the announce table, grabs a mic and slowly walks up the nearby steps and stands there a moment looking at Kelcey, neither saying a word before he then walks onto the apron and enters the ring as the music dies down…

Chris: “Hello, Kelcey…”

Chris smirks and shakes his head, the SCW crowd booing louder now…

Chris: “You know, I almost didn’t believe that you would be here tonight and now that you are, I still stand here thinking to myself that this isn’t real, it’s a figment of my imagination. But that isn’t the case, is it because as you stand there, I can smell the exact same perfume you wore on our wedding day.”

Kelcey stands there a few feet from Cannon, looking ready for anything as he continues to speak casually but with a sinister tone to his voice…

Chris: “You want me to do something don't you I can see it in your eyes, the way you stand. Just from listening to these people here, they too believe that I am going to do something to, just listen to them.”

Once again, the SCW fans cheer for Kelcey, Chris chuckles…

Chris: “I’m not surprised they’ve obviously missed you! You walk back through those curtains and they eat what you tell them out of the palm of your hand like the bleating sheep they are! They have been wanting Kelcey Wallace for how long now, they have been waiting for Kelcey Wallace ever since you posted on Twitter, they have been eager to consume all of that which the Perfect Ten has to say because just look at you...”

Chris Cannon continues to pace back and forth slowly, never taking his eyes of Kelcey as he motions towards her with his hand.

Chris: “A vision of beauty as always! The look on your face tells me you don’t believe I’m not going to do something tonight… The thought has crossed my mind, it isn’t as if you don’t deserve it after all you’ve done. You come out here and have the audacity to talk like you have about me, about Sienna and what we’ve tried to do to BETTER this company? You have the front to judge me after everything YOU have put me through and then question my motives? You do not get to talk your crap about me or Sienna, not after what you’ve done. Not after what you TRIED to do Kelcey.”

Chris scowls a little know, he’s talking about something which is obviously a very personal thing…

Chris: “I interrupted you because I wanted to look you in the eyes when you spoke, Kelcey. I wanted to see the woman you’ve become since we last spoke. But you haven’t changed, not one bit and you think you’re going to win custody of my son, you’re having a laugh. Not after yo-“

All of a sudden before Chris can finish the sentence, whatever it was Kelcey slaps him hard across the face cutting his words short. The crowd lets forth an almighty roar and “OOOOH” as he stands there before letting the mic fall from his hands to the canvas…

Sharper: “Cannon starting to hit a nerve and Kelcey letting him know she isn’t going to take any of it!”

Knots: “He better not try anything; we should get security out here!”

Cannon turns around and rubs his cheek and slowly shakes his head before walking towards a corner and begins to remove his suit jacket and throws it to the side angrily. The crowd erupts in boos as Kelcey makes her stance, expecting the worst….

Knots: “No way, not again…..”

Knots is taking off his headset, but Sharper stops him…

Sharper: “Jon, stay here!”

Cannon paces some, shaking his head as Kelcey, infuriated doesn’t take his eyes off him when suddenly he chargers her for the C4, she braces for impact but he stops right in front of her, grabs her face, violently pushing her down to the mats, the crowd erupts in boos. She looks up at him wide-eyed as he leans in….

Cannon: “Next time, I’ll bloody break you in half like I did your cousin, Kennedy. Consider it mercy.”

Knots is starting to get up when the crowd erupts in cheers, Peyton Rice comes running out fast as she can sliding in the ring right in between Kelcey and Chris. Cannon backs up as Peyton screams at him, “What is wrong with you!?”. He continues to back up with a smirk on his face, dropping to the floor and heading up the rampway, Peyton quickly checks on Kelcey who says she’s fine, getting up on her own power, picking up the mic from the mats. Chris is backing away…

Knots: “That son of a bi…”

Sharper: “Jon, we both agree, this was a despicable show by a man who was her husband! We don’t know this Chris Cannon anymore but Kelcey made it a point to get back up on her own two feet! Peyton Rice is out here, she’s seen enough!”

Knots: “Damn him!”

Kelcey is back buck, patting herself down and shaking her head…

Kelcey: “It doesn’t surprise me you want to go this route and actually I expected it which is why before you interrupted me, I was going to make an announcement. Earlier today I had a conversation with Sasha, Mr. D was like a father to me and she knows how important this is to me. I can’t compete in the ring, it’s too much of a risk no matter how good I feel. What I can do though is borrow a page from a man I know very well, “The Perfect Mind” Shawn Mason.”

The crowd erupts in cheers, Chris’s smile slowly disappears….

Kelcey: “I can still have an impact in this sport Chris, but I will do it like I did when I first started in this business, as a manager!”

The crowd roars, Chris’s eyes widen, Peyton smirks…

Sharper: “Wait, what!?”

Knots: “Sheeeee’s back!”

Kelcey and Chris stare a each other as she has one more thing to say….

Kelcey: “And Chris, just who that will be? I guess we’ll have to wait until 2020 and it will be?”

She raises the mic up as the crowd chants… “PERFECT!”. Kelcey shrugs her shoulders and drops the mic as “Exodus” plays throughout the arena, she gives Peyton a hug as a furious yet determined Chris Cannon points at his ex-wife ands heads toward the backstage area….

Knots: “Kelcey Wallace returns in 2020, with who? We didn’t know, it could be Peyton! It could be Owen, it could be Selena and Regan! We don’t know but what we do know Sharper?”

Sharper: “It’s going to be Perfect.”

Knots: “Damn right!”

Kelcey looks out to the fans and points at them, bowing and blowing kisses as Peyton stands with her, Kelcey and Peyton both head out of the ring and start to interact with the fans at ringside….

COMMERCIALS

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Clyde Sutter

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.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from Seattle, Washington, he is Aaron Blackbourne!”

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. 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.

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne did not accomplish what he wanted at Clarity. Shilo Valiant and him ending up in a draw.”

Knots: “And we’ve heard nothing from Shilo. Nothing!”

Sharper: “Blackbourne doesn’t want games. He wants to face him again. And we don’t know what to expect from Shilo.”

The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play. As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face. He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering.

Phillips: “His opponent, accompanied by Mason Van Stanton, from Raleigh, North Carolina, he is The Assassin, Clyde Sutter!”

After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, Sutter begins his slow walk down the ramp, with Van Stanton following closely behind. The spotlight follows the sinister sociopath as he approaches the ring; Sutter then foregoes the steel steps as he leaps up from the floor to the ring apron. Mason applauds from the outside as he uses the steel steps to join his client on the ring apron. With the spotlight remaining only on them as one of the few lights in the arena at the moment, Sutter and Van Stanton enter the ring and then stand in the center. Van Stanton applauds his client while the fans continue to show their displeasure. The sound of Metallica dies down and the lights come back on.

Sharper: “Clyde Sutter is something in Blackbourne crosshairs. Blackbourne taking issue with Sutter attacking Alistaire Allocco.”

Knots: “Finally getting his hands on him. And he’s suitably unhappy too. So let’s see what he can do here.”

The bell sounds and Clyde smirks at Aaron as Aaron walks over toward him. The two watch one another before Aaron moves toward Clyde and drops down and around him in a waistlock. Clyde grabs at his arms and Aaron clubs him in the back and then again before Clyde elbows him in the jaw. He walks after Aaron and clubs him hard in the back. Aaron falls to the corner. Clyde moves in and kicks him in the ribs before whipping him across the ring. Aaron hits the opposite corner and Clyde walks across but Aaron runs out and hits a flying calf kick. Clyde rolls over and starts to get up and Aaron gets up and nails him with a forearm and then another before pushing him into the ropes and firing him off. Clyde bounces off and Aaron jumps up and goes for a double knee and nails Clyde, riding him down before rolling through.

Sharper: “That was something different! A double knee to the chest and driving Sutter to the mat!”

Knots: “Sutter finding out that Blackbourne has no problem scrapping!”

Sharper: “And adding some flair.”

Clyde rolls over and gets up and Blackbourne nails him with a dropkick. He turns back and goes for the pin.

Sutter kicks out. He starts to get up, moving to the ropes. Blackbourne walks over to him and grabs him and Sutter elbows him in the ribs and then again before nailing Blackbourne with an elbow to the face. Blackbourne stumbles back and Sutter runs out and clotheslines him down. Blackbourne rolls over and starts to get up and Sutter grabs Blackbourne and scoops him up and hits a ribbreaker. He then gets up and drives his elbow into the chest of Blackbourne. He follows up with a lateral press.

Blackbourne kicks out. Sutter gets up and smacks Blackbourne in back of the head. Blackbourne rolls over as Sutter gets up.

Sharper: “Sutter with a touch of disrespect. The slap to the head.”

Knots: “Sutter doesn’t seem to respect anyone. Well maybe Glory Braddock. Maybe to some degree.”

Sutter turns and grabs Blackbourne and nails him with a hard right. He grabs him and whips him across the ring. Blackbourne bounces off and Sutter launches Blackbourne in the air and lets him drop with a flapjack. The crowd ohs. Blackbourne starts to get up and Sutter kicks him in the ribs before hoisting him up. He then holds him up as the crowd boos. Sutter smirks as he continues to keep Blackbourne up and throws him back after a delayed vertical suplex. He rolls over for the pin.

Blackbourne gets his shoulder up. Sutter gets up and looks at Blackbourne and then stomps him in the face. Blackbourne rolls over in pain. Sutter grabs him and lifts him up and turns and throws him into the corner. Sutter walks over and places his forearm along the face of Blackbourne and grinds it into his face. The referee calls for the break.

Sutter steps back and looks around. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Sutter grinding his forearm into the face of Blackbourne, trying to break his nose.”

Knots: “Or just frustrate him!”

Sutter then grabs Blackbourne, but Blackbourne kicks him in the ribs. The crowd roars. Sutter moves in again and Blackbourne kicks him again in the ribs. He then pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle and dives forward with a lunging knee. Sutter falls back. He slowly gets up and Blackbourne runs into the ropes past him, bounces off and hits a flipping cutter. The crowd ohs. Blackbourne turns and Sutter rolls to his back and Blackbourne hooks the leg.

Sutter pushes him off. Both get up and Sutter goes for a clothesline. Blackbourne ducks and stops. Sutter turns and Blackbourne hits a jumping enziguri. Sutter falls back and into the ropes. He leans on the middle rope and Blackbourne runs over and grabs the top rope and slingshots over and drives his knee into the back of Sutter’s head. Sutter rolls back into the ring.

Sharper: “Blackbourne drives his knee into the back of Sutter’s head!”

Knots: “Sutter’s going to get a growing headache with this one.”

Sutter falls back and rolls over and starts to pull himself up and Blackbourne grabs at the ropes and looks at Sutter. He then springboards to the top rope and dives forward, landing on Sutter’s shoulders. Sutter however catches him and turns and hits a buckle bomb! The crowd ohs. Blackbourne staggers out and Sutter hoists him up and turns and hits the Cruciform Slam. The crowd ohs. Sutter rolls through for the pin.

Sutter runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for a Clothesline from Hell, but Blackbourne ducks. He then runs into the ropes as Sutter turns around and Blackbourne runs at him and nails him with a running dropkick. Sutter falls back into the corner. Blackbourne gets up and Sutter drops down only for Blackbourne to run back at him and finish the Creative Process! The crowd roars. Sutter rolls out of the corner and Blackbourne looks around.

Sharper: “Creative Process as Sutter has no answer for those knees!”

Knots: “He’s getting hit by every variation of a knee strike. We’re adding entries as we go!”

Sutter rolls over and starts to get up. Blackbourne turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for the Unchained Creativity. Sutter sidesteps and Blackbourne stops. He turns around and Sutter lifts him up and hits a tilt-a-whirl, but right into an inside cradle by Blackbourne!

The crowd roars. Blackbourne rolls over. He looks up and the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Aaron Blackbourne!”

Blackbourne starts to get up and Sutter runs at him and nails him with a running clothesline from behind. The crowd ohs and boos. Blackbourne rolls over in pain. Sutter turns around and grabs the ropes, stomping away on Blackbourne as the crowd boos some more. The bell sounds again.

Sharper: “Sutter attacking Blackbourne right after the bell.”

Knots: “Good to know some things never change. Sutter just wants to kick his ass!”

The official tries to get him away from Blackbourne, but Sutter turns and knocks him down. The crowd ohs and Sutter turns around and stomps away on Blackbourne as the crowd boos and the bell sounds again. Just then, the opening chords of “Eyes Like Fire” by Collision of Innocence starts to play. The crowd erupts in cheers. Sutter stops and turns as he steps forward and Alistaire Allocco steps out from the back and looks down at the ring before starting to run down to the ring. He runs down, with a noticeable limp. Sutter chuckles a bit, rolling his eyes as Alistaire slides in. He gets up and Sutter turns and lunges for him and throws a hard right, but Alistaire catches him and takes him over with an exploder suplex. Sutter rolls out of the ring as the crowd erupts in cheers. Alistaire rolls over and gets up and turns to him. Sutter backs up in the entrance way, holding his lower back. Van Stanton walks around and heads over to him and stops him from going back in.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco back in his former hometown! Returning and suplexing Sutter down to save his friend!”

Knots: “But he had to make a show of it!”

Sharper: “Clearly to get Sutter’s response. Even to save a friend, he’s going to fight someone face to face!”

Knots: “He’s lucky though. That knee still looks like it’s not one hundred percent!”

Sharper: “Good enough for tonight. Van Stanton holding Sutter back as Alistaire Allocco checks on Aaron Blackbourne and on our official.”

Alistaire turns to Blackbourne who winces before turning back and checking on the official. Sutter continues to try and get to the ring as Van Stanton holds him back. Alistaire gets up and backs up, ready to fight as the scene fades out.

Backstage, we cut to one of the locker rooms to see the masked woman that has been attacking James Evans and some of his opponents, running out of a room. She runs down the hallway as we see Cain Adams getting nailed in the back with James Evans’ baseball bat. James Evans then swats the cameraman back who falls over.

Sharper: “James Evans is attacking those masked individuals! Cain Adams was one. The woman running away!”

Knots: “With the bat?!”

Cain starts to get up and the camera catches James swinging as we hear a loud crash and a loud grunt. The camera stabilizes as we see a hole in the wall and Cain Adams down with James Evans standing over him with a baseball bat. James then backs up.

James: “You stayed out of my way at Clarity. I’m making sure it’s not a mistake again! Not taking the chance.”

James then turns to the camera.

James: “Chris…you can deal with your ex. Come out if you dare. But Syren…Infamous…bring out whoever you want. Bring out whatever you want. Come to the ring. Cost me the World Title. Well, looks like we’re even. But I don’t like being even!”

James then turns and storms out of the room. The crowd roars the camera cuts back to Cain Adams who is unconscious on the ground. The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see the door to Sasha’s office opening as Kandis storms out of the room. Tommy Valentine is a few steps behind her. Jaina Lancaster is by the office.

Jaina: “Kandis! Tommy…I was told that you were having a bit of an animated conversation with Sasha-“

Kandis: “Well that was apparently our title shot at Clarity. And I get it, wanted to clear the deck. But please, we all know that we should’ve just had our straight up tag match, but Infamous had to get involved, manipulate the situation. Jordan Majors and Jake Starr had to get involved. And here we are!”

Kandis turns away, annoyed, spinning around as Tommy turns to her. Jaina appears a bit concerned.

Tommy: “Relax. We’ll work our way back to it.”

Kandis: “Yeah and wait how long? You know what…with Trueloves getting in, Bandidas…claiming your victory over us gets you something. Maybe we need to start taking.”

Tommy: “Worked for us in other ways.”

Kandis’ rage subsides for a moment and turns to a smirks.

Tommy: “Plus, you’re hot when you’re angry.”

Jaina looks at them. Kandis turns to her.

Kandis: “You’ll understand one day.”

Kandis and Tommy go to head off and Jaina turns to the camera.

Jaina: “Back to ringside where our new Adrenaline Champion, Gavin Taylor, is in action-“

Kandis comes back into the view.

Kandis: “Don’t get me started there!”

Tommy: “Come on!”

Tommy pulls Kandis away as the scene cuts to ringside.

Gavin Taylor vs. Max Kane

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled one fall

The arena is silent when all of a sudden Max's Kane voice is heard through the PA system.

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

"Suck My Kiss" then hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane uncharacteristically gallops from the curtains onto the ramp. from underneath the ramp into the air. Max stares at the camera before turning the the crowd. Max yells at the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is sporting a black, silver and gold "Rock N' Roll Unicorn" vest with big spikes on the shoulders, a "Scream Machine" t-shirt underneath and a pair of shades on his face. Max continues yelling towards the camera.

Phillips: From San Francisco, California, weighing in at two hundred, ten pounds….he is The Rock N' Roll Unicorn.... "MAD" MAX.....KAAAAANE!

Max walks down to the ring, looking around the crowd. Max once again eyes the camera and smirks as he looks at the ring. He faces the crowd, looking around at everyone while walking past the camera before sliding into the ring.

Sharper: Welcome back to Breakdown ladies and gentlemen and getting into the ring we see Max Kane.

Knots: Max is a talented competitor and always a threat inside of the ring Sharper, but you have to question his focus. It seems that getting a reaction from the fans is a little more important to Max than his career at times.

Max stands u and throws his vest onto the mat. He yells to the crowd and motions for them to make some noise. He points to every section of the arena before extending his arms. He then claps his hands, yelling "KANE. MAX. KANE." The crowd responds as he looks on before retreating to the corner/ He looks at the camera.

Max: Still here. Still kicking. Banged up and all. The American Dream, right?

Max smiles a bit before it fades.

Max grips the top turnbuckle, steeling himself for the match ahead as The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena.

Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show

And the song continues...

The crowd boos as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays.

Phillips: His opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing 225 pounds, he is the SCW Adrenaline Champion….THE ALL-STAR GAVIN TAYLOR!

Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope.

Sharper: And here we have the new SCW Adrenaline Champion, the very truculent, Gavin Taylor, in a non-title tilt. I here for a house show in Idaho last night didn’t even take off the belt.

Knots: Why should he take the belt off, he has worked hard for it! You know how people have to sacrifice to win a title in SCW. Gavin should not take that belt off unless he wants to.

The song continues...

I cheated to get what I got
Stepped all over you self for my spot
I bet you I'm winning, I bet that you're not
I bet you don't see me, I bet you get caught

Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out.

Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes refusing yet again to take off the Adrenaline Championship belt as he watches for his Kane, who looks ready to go talking with his agent Ava St. Clair who is now standing in Taylor’s corner as the bell rings.

DING! DING! DING!

Kane comes in and tries to attack, but Taylor smirks at him before sticking his head through the ropes and calling for break which the referee steps in and tells Kane to back off. Kane takes a few steps back before Taylor pokes his head back in. The two competitors circle each other again, looking for an opening until Kane moves in and tries to lock up Taylor with a basic collar and elbow tie up, but Taylor starts laughing this time, and sticks head out through the ropes. This causes referee to step in front of Kane again and tell him to step back while also getting some boos from the capacity audience, whom are sick of Taylor’s antics just as much as Kane is tiring of them already.

Sharper: Our illustrious Adrenaline Champion no doubt playing mind games with Max Kane, and from the look on Max’s face it seems to be working.

Knots: I don’t like the tone in your voice. Is there anything that says Gavin Taylor is not allowed to play mind games with his opponents. No there is not, and Gavin is one of the best at it, he is brilliant.

Taylor is about to stick his head back in and resume the match when Kane has had enough of his antic and as soon Taylor put his head back in, he met by repeated elbow smashes to the side of his forehead from Kane. The shot leave Taylor looking a little fuzzy while the crowd meanwhile loves the shots from Kane, giving them something to cheer about.

Sharper: There are a lot of things that you could call Gavin Taylor but I seriously doubt that brilliant is one of them, and I think that Max Kane would agree with two.

Knots: Yeah, well you know who would not agree with you right now? The whole damn continent of Australia, that’s who!

Sharper: The whole continent of Australia, what are you even talking about?

Knots: Gavin Taylor is an icon in Australia you know. People have named their kids after him there. Gavin and Taylor!

With Taylor reeling, Kane whips him into the ropes with authority and sends him back down with a huge back body drop. The fans are cheering wildly as Kane goes for the first cover of the match, hooking the far leg.

NO! KICK OUT BY GAVIN TAYLOR!

Sharper: Gavin Taylor with the kick out but Max Kane is really taking it to him in the early going.

Knots: Patience Sharper, it is just a matter of time before Gavin proves himself, not that he actually needs to prove himself, but he will anyway.

Kane picks Taylor up by the head and giving him no chance to rest, gives him a couple of shots to the mouth before whipping to the ropes again. This time Taylor explodes off the rebound and seems to find another gear, nailing Kane with….

REAL MEN USE LARIATS!

Taylor nearly wrapping his arm around Kane’s head as the fans boo, disgusted at any sort of offense being mounted by the All- Star, literally becoming offended by his offense. Kane lands with a sickening thud while Taylor is very gingerly brushing the championship belt off, making certain that it is alright before begins to stomp from one end of Kane to the other. Then he picks Kane straight up, and delivers a couple of blistering knife-edge chops, the pain obvious on the face of the Rock N’ Roll Unicorn. Taylor then shows off power and earns even more of the crowd’s ire as he lifts Kane high into the air and hold him there for a few seconds before dropping a classic vertical suplex.

Sharper: The All-Star is firmly in control of the match now, and don’t worry because he will tell all you about it to.

Knots: Why shouldn’t he tell everyone about it. Just like he is proving with Max Kane, who I will say again is a very talented competitor, Gavin Taylor is just superior to the average person in every way.

Taylor waits patiently for Kane to struggle up to his feet, even shushing the crowd which only serves to make them angry before sneaking in behind and delivering a huge belly to belly suplex to Kane. With Kane looking like he is nearly knocked out, Taylor looks at him and laughs, before heading to the outside of the ring and to the broadcast position.

Sharper: You have got to be kidding me, how much conceit does this man have. Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we are going to be joined by the All-Star Gavin Taylor during his match.

Knots: Stop complaining Sharper, this is going to be great! Welcome Gavin, how are you?

Taylor: Thank you Jonathan, and you Mr. Sharper are in correct because if you were actually paying attention to the match you would know that conceit is a fault and I don’t have any faults! Did you know that I won this Championship in just four and a half months?

Sharper: So, you have mentioned, repeatedly.

Knots: Right Sharper, you need to pay more attention! I tell him that all of the time Gavin.

Sharper: Oh Lord…

Taylor: Not quiet Sharper, but I am damn close! Now you are getting the idea.

Knots: Can you tell us what to expect for the rest of this match, Gavin?

Taylor: Sure. I am going to keep beating up Mac Kahn..

Sharper: Your opponent is Max Kane damn it!

Taylor: Yeah whatever. I am going to keep beating him up until I decide to finish him off and since it looks like he is coming around now I will head back to the ring to do just that!

Knots: Alright, thanks Gavin! I will try to teach Sharper some better manners when we have guests!

Taylor takes off his headset and makes his way quickly back to the ring. He is not quick enough however as Kane catches him with an unprotected headbutt shot….

GRATEFUL DEAD!

The straight shot at Taylor’s forehead not only makes him woozy, it causes his forehead to bust open with a small trickle of blood.

Knots: Oh no, that idiot Max Kane! He made the All-Star bleed!

Sharper: Relax, he has never looked better.

This makes Taylor furious while Kane quickly climbs to the second rope and leaps off with…

H.F.G. (Holy F**king Grail)!

Taylor sees this coming and sidesteps out of the way. The he waits Kane to get up and with no more wasted time or motion hits a thunderous….

HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT!

Sharper: Oh, that Neckbreaker, that is a thing of beauty!

Knots: I think everyone agrees except for Max right now!

Taylor immediately goes for the cover..

Phillips: Here is your winner, the SCW Adrenaline Champion,..THE ALL-STAR GAVIN TAYLOR!

Taylor gets up, feels the blood on his forehead, is still angry and starts to stomp Kane until he has forced him to exit the ring looking worse for the wear out on the floor outside the ring the fans booing wildly.

Sharper: Gavin Taylor is your winner, but this extra-curricular activity is not necessary.

Knots: He made the All-Star bleed!

Sharper: There is barely any blood!

Taylor starts to follow Kane to the floor until there is a huge roar from the crowd..

Sharper: It’s Asher Hayes!!

Knots: He’s not done with the new Adrenaline Champion!

Hayes quickly hits the ring and does waste anytime firing shot that connect on Taylor’s forehead where he is bleeding from. Hayes whips him into the ropes, but Taylor drops down and gets out of the ring. Taylor back slowly up the ramp with St. Clair, furious that he is bleeding while Hayes almost begs him to back in the ring.

Sharper: Asher Hayes letting Gavin Taylor and everyone else know that their issues are far from over! More from Breakdown in a moment!

Backstage, Alistaire Allocco is with Aaron Blackbourne as Glory Braddock walks over to them. Alistaire looks up.

Glory: “Alistaire, just-“

Alistaire: “No need to say anything. I appreciate that you had nothing to do with that attack a few weeks ago. Even facing him…this is my fight now. To both of you.”

Aaron nods.

Aaron: “I’m more just annoyed Shilo yet again nothing…”

Alistaire turns to Glory.

Glory: “Either way, I think we need to finish that discussion we had a few weeks ago.”

Alistaire stands up. He looks at Glory.

Alistaire: “I was wrong about you. I may disagree with some of your tactics, but I’m glad you’re on our side. And that you had Peyton’s back.”

Glory: “Anytime. It’s important not to be doctrinaire. This business is…well, what it is.”

Glory and Alistaire shake hands.

Glory: “Perhaps we need to showcase it properly in the ring.”

Alistaire: “I’ve got Sutter to worry about-“

Glory: “We both do. I know its your fight. But I brought him in.”

Alistaire: “Well, we’ll figure that out while figuring out when we can have a proper showcase.”

Glory: “You’ve got it.”

Alistaire turns back to Aaron as the scene cuts to black.

Syren: “James Evans wants a fight. He wants a fight with us. We’ll happily give it to him. See, you don’t get to play the victim this time. You got only SOME of what you deserved when you fell on your face at Clarity. You don’t deserve to hold that title and as for Sienna, my little game paid off as I now can focus on her at End of the Year Special. But James…no, after what you did, sabotaging the chamber…I’ll be bring more than a chain. I’ll bring Infamous. And tonight, we’ll end this all!”

The crowd roars as Syren turns and storms off into the back of the room.

Jessica: “Looks like we’ve got a fight on our hands later.”

Sharper: “Sure does, Jessica!”

Knots: “James has to be loving this!”

“Style” by Taylor Swift plays as Sienna Swann walks out from the back. Xiomara is with her. The crowd boos as she starts to walk down to the ring. Swann looks around as the SCW World Championship is around her waist. Xiomara smiles walking down with her, scanning the crowd.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann with a smug look on her face. Xiomara with her.”

Knots: “Hiding probably whatever they’re thinking about what happened earlier with Kelcey Wallace and Chris Cannon!”

Sharper: “Probably thinking that if Sasha sides with her, it will solve a lot of her issues.”

Knots: “I just hope Sasha tells her off. Sienna Swann has talked about how she’s the best for the last year. Kellen’s contract cash-in will prove just that.”

Sienna Swann walks over to the ring. She then walks up the steps and along the apron. She looks out at the crowd as they boo her. Sienna just smirks before stepping into the ring. Xiomara enters and this time, Sienna Swann poses in the middle of the ring, unlike earlier.

Knots: “She needs to make sure that she’s got the spotlight!”

Sienna steps back as Xiomara walks around the ring. Sienna Swann walks to the corner. She demands a microphone. Phillips hands her one. Sienna then leans over and says something to Phillips, berating him before turning back to the middle of the ring. She looks out at the crowd before turning to the main camera.

Sienna: “I know so many of you are wondering what I’m thinking about what we saw earlier and all I will say is that I will stand Chris in all cases. But what I am interested in even bigger than Kelcey Wallace returning and declaring she’s back. No…Sasha! This is your moment. You can rescue your company developing a partnership that you should’ve considered almost a year ago. You can do what’s right. And we can make a lot of money together.”

The crowd boos. Sienna turns to the entrance way.

Sienna: “Please join me Sasha. Two businesswomen. We’ve always been on the wrong foot. This is a way to fix that.”

Sienna continues to look at the entrance way. She looks around. The crowd boos, while some just make noise.

Sharper: “Will she even come out?”

Knots: “I don’t know.”

A few moments pass before Sasha walks out from the back. She looks down at the ring. Sienna smiles. Sasha walks down to the ring. Xiomara walks over to the ring ropes as Sasha heads over to the steel steps. She walks up the steel steps and Xiomara looks over at her, sitting on the ropes. Sasha steps into the ring. Sienna smiles as she extends her arm. Sasha looks at it and reluctantly shakes her hand.

Sharper: “Sienna carrying this on like a business meeting.”

Knots: “She’s been in a few.”

Sharper: “As has Sasha. Sienna may like to think Sasha is inexperienced, but she’s been involved in the upper tiers of this company for a decade.”

Sasha walks past her and over to the corner, grabbing a microphone waiting for her. She turns around and walks over to Sienna. Sienna is just beaming.

Sasha: “Sienna-“

Sienna: “Sasha. I’m sorry to interrupt you, but I feel like I need to personally make my pitch to you again. See, earlier tonight, I may have been abrasive, but that fact is that I am upset. I am upset for reasons so many people have pointed out tonight. Almost as if they heard their champion speaking out they spoke out too. I called out the injustice. You came out here before Clarity and talked about clearing the decks. No more rematches. No more second chances. By the end of Clarity, a night where I solidified myself as having surpassed any of my peers…I now have to compete against a field of how many…fifty? All to hold onto this. Hardly a fair contest. And not only that be we all know who will be entering into the match. Syren…James Evans…Owen Cruze…people I BEAT. People who weren’t supposed to have a second chance. And since then, Las Bandidas…they pointed out that they asked for a title shot. They didn’t get it, instead having to deal with what happened earlier. Even Selena Frost, despite the fact that she is as conceited and self-righteous as she is, even SHE has a problem with decisions being made with Xander Valentine returning. A threat to us all! Remember what he did to her and I at Apocalypse?!”

Sienna pauses as Sasha looks at her.

Sienna: “And I heard you at Clarity. I said it earlier. I think you’re not happy either. You’re not a liar. You’re a smart businesswoman. And maybe I’ve been a bit unfair. I mean lets listen to what you said at Clarity…Please roll the footage.”

Sienna turns to the big screen. Sasha looks up at the screen.

SCW Clarity – December 1, 2019

The Clarity logo comes up on the screen. We open to see Jessica Winters standing with Sasha outside of her office.

Jessica: “This leads me to something specific to tonight…we have nothing planned for End of the Year Special. Normally we announce the potential candidates for the End of the Year Title Shot and who can be voted on. Is that still happening?”

Sasha nods.

Sasha: “Unfortunately not.”

Jessica: “But it’s been a tradition for years.”

Sasha: “The Board of Directors has agreed on something different. And despite my best efforts, it will no return for tonight.”

Jessica: “So who will challenge for the World Championship?”

Sasha shrugs.

Sasha: “That…you’ll have to wait and see. But you will know by the end of the night.”

Jessica: “A bit cryptic. Any hint?”

Sasha: “Sorry…Enjoy the rest of the show.”

Sasha turns and returns to her office.

Jessica: “A bit less forthcoming than we’d like. Clearly some big decisions have been made as of late.”

The Clarity logo comes up on the screen.

We return to a live shot. Sienna turns back to Sasha.

Sienna: “Now who cares about what you said before that, but you clearly didn’t want to say something. You didn’t make this decision for the Open Invitational. You didn’t agree to Kellen using his Trios to make it for the World Title. You’re being challenged and I get it. It’s frustrating and I’m sure this has been happening for months. I mean you’ve made some questionable decisions, but Sasha, you and I, together can overcome that. You know the board. You know your father…you can even make a step for yourself. Move on from Kelcey Wallace coming out here to spend precious television time and focus on me. I’m a proven attraction, in more ways than one. I’m a proven CHAMPION. And Sasha…I think you need me. And with you and I together, we can fight this Trios Tournament cash in. We can make SCW a bit more predictable in a good way. And you can win over the Board while I can get what I deserve.”

The crowd boos.

Sienna: “So Sasha…we can stand together, a fresh start, and we can end 2019 and enter 2020 aiming for a new cause. People like Owen Cruze aren’t your future. I AM your future.”

Sienna extends her arm. Sasha looks at it and then up at Sienna.

Sasha: “Sienna…I am not looking to make deals with wrestlers who are looking to angle for great influence when that’s all they crave.”

The crowd roars. Sienna just glares at Sasha.

Sasha: “Was this your idea? Or Xiomara’s? Laura’s? In doesn’t matter, because of all of the decisions you’ve mentioned, while I may not agree with them, I will support them as that is what was decided. I don’t like having to claim there would be a clearing of the decks and Kellen Jeffries changed it all. But the Board of Directors thought about the spectacle and here we are and one thing I cannot disagree with is that instead of the fans having to choose who gets their shot, everyone can get it. We could see ANYTHING happen, just like on the night that Dawn Lohan stunned the world, becoming World Champion, a moment Chris would certainly remember!”

Sasha pauses briefly.

Sasha: “But of all of the decisions that I’ve been questioned on, one I can say I was happy to support and even agreed to without the Board’s convening and that was Kelcey Wallace to come out here and speak to her fans. To show the world just how conniving and fraudulent you and your husband are!”

Sienna turns at this point. Xiomara tries to stop her, but Sienna just continues.

Sienna: “You want to talk about conniving and fraudulent. You have stood in the way of your most important star for months. You have lied to my face time and time again. I tried to turn over a new leaf, but no, you just are too self-absorbed to see it. Look at this roster, even Selena Frost, Miss do anything for SCW is having issues with you. NO ONE agrees with you. And I will stand on this roster’s behalf as their CHAMPION and their leader and if you’re not willing to work with me, then we know the only option is for you to resign!”

The crowd boos. Sasha turns away. Xiomara tries to get Sienna to back down.

Sienna: “No! I’m not going to apologize. You’re the disgrace to wrestling. Not me. YOU! The Chamber, the Double Jeopardy, the Open Invitational. You’re using Kellen as an excuse. You just want to do anything to hold me back. To prevent me from holding this title even though I am the only one who should be holding it. I’m better than EVERYONE in this promotion, in this UNIVERSE and you refuse to accept it. You’re just pissed off that you’re not as smart a businesswoman as me, as good looking as me, or as important as me. So Sasha, resign and go back to obscurity where you belong!”

Sienna steps up and gets in the face of Sasha. Sasha now steps up.

Sasha: “No…and you’re going to start to remember something. I am your boss. This may be a publicly traded company so some decisions may be beyond my control, but one thing I am in control of is the day to day affairs of this company and Sienna! You are going to start to remember who is in charge. Because I don’t think you can afford to lose too many more sponsors when it’s clear that you’re rotten to the core and SCW is the one place where you may still thrive. So Sienna…you wanted to turn over a new leaf. Fine…We can do that. You’re going to start to understand who signs the checks or if you’re so great, fine another opportunity. With whatever is left of your reputation, champ!”

Sienna steps forward and Xiomara steps up and holds Sienna back. Sasha looks at her. Sienna steps up again and Sasha turns and walks across to hand the microphone back. Sienna nod and calms down and Xiomara talks to her. Sienna steps off to the side and then looks at the SCW World Championship. She then holds it up and turns to use it as a weapon, going to step forward as Sasha turns around and Sienna stops and brings the title down. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Was Sienna just about to attack Sasha?!”

Knots: “I think she was. She’s lost it. Chris and Kelcey earlier. Now this!”

Sasha and Sienna look at one another as Xiomara looks at Sienna, even a bit surprised. Just then, we see Owen Cruze running out from the back. The crowd roars. Sienna turns and backs away and exits the ring. Xiomara does too. Sasha looks at Sienna as Sienna backs around. Owen slides in and gets up and looks at her before turning to Sasha, checking on her. Sasha nods as Owen turns back. Sienna backs away.

Sienna: “You’re done with me. You’ve said it yourself. Prove you’re a liar too Calamity Cruze! Come after me or this at End of the Year Special, it proves you’re just like everyone else!”

Xiomara starts to pull Sienna back. We then see Bree Lancaster jogging out from the back and joining Xiomara in trying to get Sienna back. The crowd roars as the scene then cuts away.

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays throughout the arena as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Selena Frost vs. Autumn Valentine comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “Well as Sienna Swann is held back, we’re getting ready for our main event. Selena Frost will face Autumn Valentine next…I don’t believe our World Champion.”

Knots: “I do. It’s her M.O.!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown return to see Sienna Swann pacing back and forth as Xiomara and Bree are talking to her. Chris Cannon then heads over to her too.

Sharper: “Looks like the Beauty Factory regrouping.”

Knots: “After tonight, they better regroup. Things are changing!”

Selena Frost vs. Autumn Valentine

BELIEVE IT!

The SCW Universe are on their feet as “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is your main event of the evening. First, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Winter’s Knight, Selena Frost!”

Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as she lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm upward, her back arm lifted behind her to the sky. With a lift of her right foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring. Reaching the ring, Selena slides under the ropes to enter it. She gets up and lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more. With a slam of her foot, Selena caused the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. She looks around as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Selena Frost did what she said. She survived, but also beat Xander Valentine at Clarity. Xander didn’t answer the ten count. Selena barely did.”

Knots: “Yeah, but now the question is dealing with what is next and that’s one half of the former Tag Team Champions!”

Sharper: “She’s also been vocal. Critical of Sasha. Sienna referencing it earlier. It’s a been a newsworthy night in Salt Lake City.”

Knots: “No doubt. Alistaire Allocco back. James Evans has a bat. Sienna Swann exposed.”

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

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

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

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Autumn spins back around, seemingly enjoying the negative crowd reaction. She stands for a moment before looking back over her shoulder. The fans booing gets louder as she’s joined on the stage by Ryan Watson. Watson holds her hand as the two of them head to the ring. Once at ringside Autumn jumps up on the ring entrance as Ryan pulls himself up using the bottom rope. He then stands and holds down the middle rope for her to enter. The fans boo louder as Autumn now ascends the ropes in the corner, standing on the middle rope once again soaking in their reaction. She flips back out of the corner, spinning around and landing on her feet. She then removes her jacket, handing it to Ryan who remains on the apron. Ryan jumps down, holding onto her jacket as Autumn walks to the corner, sitting down in the corner and talking with her manager at ringside as he stands outside the ring.

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine has a huge opportunity to set herself up going into the new year. May not be Tag Team Champion, but could be looking to get back into singles contention.”

Knots: “Anytime you beat Selena, it’s noteworthy. She knows damn well.”

Sharper: “The Zero Effs to Give may have Zero Effs to indeed give, but I guarantee they need to care in this one.”

Autumn looks at Selena as the bell sounds. Autumn pulls herself up. She watches Selena as Selena steps up. The two women circle the ring before then lunging at one another and locking up in the middle of the ring. Selena and Autumn push back on one another and Selena gets Autumn back into the corner. The referee calls for the break.

Selena lets go and Autumn kicks her in the ribs. She smirks and spins her into the corner. Ryan laughs as Autumn kicks Selena in the ribs again and then again. The crowd boos with each shot and Autumn grabs Selena and whips her across the ring. Selena hits the opposite corner and Autumn runs after and Selena gets an elbow up. Autumn staggers out and Selena runs out and clotheslines her down. Autumn rolls over and moves to the ropes.

Sharper: “Selena explodes out of the corner. Hard clothesline!”

Knots: “Autumn showing her hand. She wants to win. She’ll bend the rules. Selena Frost has been barely on the side of them as of late too!”

Autumn rolls to the floor and Selena slides to the floor after. Autumn starts to get up and Selena chops her. The crowd woos. Selena then grabs Autumn and goes to whip her into the steel steps. Autumn however manages to jump up onto them and to the other side. She turns and rolls into the ring. Selena slides in and Autumn goes over and clubs Selena in the back. She pulls her up and then kicks her in the ribs before whipping her into the ropes. Selena bounces off and Autumn jumps up and hits a calf kick. Selena hits the mat. Autumn goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out. Both women get up and Autumn forearms Selena in the ribs before going to whip her into the ropes again. Selena spins through and sends Autumn in. Autumn bounces off and Selena hits a dropkick. Autumn rolls over. She crawls to the ropes again. Ryan is there to grab at her, but Selena grabs her legs before Ryan can grab her and pulls her back in. She then hits a jackknife pin.

Autumn kicks out. Selena turns and kicks at the ropes. Ryan jukes back and looks at her with disdain.

Sharper: “Selena Frost trying to keep Autumn from the ropes. Ryan already getting involved.”

Knots: “Rules are a foreign concept them, I guess! They don’t have them in Britain or in Memphis. Makes sense with the last election!”

Ryan walks around as Selena grabs Autumn and hits a vertical suplex. Selena rolls over and grabs Autumn and forces her down before nailing her with a series of hard right hands. The referee warns her as Selena gets up and Autumn rolls over. She moves to the ropes. Selena walks over and grabs her and turns her around and goes to whip her across the ring. Autumn bounces off the ropes and Selena goes for a clothesline. Autumn ducks and bounces off the other side as Selena goes into the ropes too, but Ryan trips her up. Selena staggers forward, the referee missing the trip and Autumn hits a spinning heel kick. The crowd ohs. Autumn gets up and runs over and hits an elbow drop. Selena winces. Autumn gets up and stomps her in the chest over and over as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Ryan with the trip! Senior official Demitra missing it! Autumn didn’t miss the spinning heel kick or these stomps.”

Knots: “Opportunity made. Just tee off now. May as well!”

Autumn walks over her and jumps to the ropes before diving back with an elbow drop. She goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out. Autumn turns and grabs Selena and drags her up. She whips her into the corner. Autumn walks over and kicks her in the ribs and then again and again and again. Selena drops to a seated position as Autumn backs up and walks over to the official, getting his attention. Ryan runs over and grabs Selena and starts to grab at her, but Selena turns and swings, throwing a hard right at Ryan. Ryan staggers back and Autumn pushes past Demitra and runs over and hits a running dropkick. The crowd ohs. Autumn grabs Selena and drags her out. She goes for another pin as Ryan winces in pain.

Selena gets her shoulder up. Autumn rolls over.

Sharper: “Ryan trying to get involved. He got caught. Autumn quickly prevent Selena from getting up and only got a two!”

Knots: “Selena’s trying to fight two people at once and it’s not going well right now!”

Autumn pulls Selena up and hits a snap suplex. She turns and exits to the apron. She climbs to the top rope. The crowd roars and boos as Autumn gets to the top rope. She dives off and goes for a guillotine leg drop, but Selena rolls out of the way. Autumn rolls over in pain. She holds her lower back and gets back up and Selena kicks her in the ribs and then grabs her head and hits a swinging neckbreaker. Selena gets up and turns and jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a twisting leg drop. She goes for the pin.

Autumn pushes her off. Selena gets up and Autumn rolls over to the ropes. She starts to use them to get up and Selena knees her in the back. Autumn falls to the middle rope and Selena starts to choke her on the middle rope.

Selena steps off as Ryan starts to swing at her from the floor. He runs his mouth a bit and Selena then grabs the top rope and hits a vaulting press over the top rope and onto Ryan. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “And again! Ryan taunting Selena! Berating her and Selena not going to just take it. Just took Ryan down!”

Knots: “Watson’s not having a fun time out there! Not at all!”

Sharper: “Look out! Look out! Autumn!”

Autumn runs across the ring and Selena turns to the ring only for Autumn to hit a suicide dive through the ropes and into Selena, driving her into the table. The crowd ohs and boos. Autumn rolls over. Selena stirs and rolls over in pain. Autumn grabs her and drags her up before rolling her into the ring. Selena slowly gets up and Autumn grabs the top rope and hits a hilo over the top rope, landing on Selena’s back, driving her back down. She rolls over and Autumn hooks the leg.

Selena gets her shoulder up. Autumn then looks up and grabs her and drags her up. Autumn kicks her in the ribs and then lifts her up and places her on the top turnbuckle. Autumn nails her with a hard right and then hits a pump kick. Selena nearly falls back. Autumn then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and grabs Selena. She hooks her up by the head and looks around before going for a superplex, but Selena blocks it and nails her in the ribs and then again before stepping up to the top rope and hitting a top rope sunset flip powerbomb. Autumn is planted and Selena drops down for the pin.

Autumn gets her shoulder up. Selena rolls off. She starts to get up. Autumn rolls over, holding her lower back. She starts to get up and Selena gets up and runs into the ropes, jumping to the middle rope and diving back with the Cold Shoulder. Autumn rolls through. She slowly gets up and Selena gets up and grabs her by the head. She sets up for the Icebreaker, but Autumn fights it and manages to hit a northern lights suplex!

Selena bridges up.

Sharper: “Selena fighting through. And you have to think she’s not at one hundred percent, but she’s still fighting! Bridging up!”

Knots: “How!”

Selena and Autumn spin around and Selena manages to pull her down with a backslide.

Autumn rolls through. Both get up and Autumn hits a kick to the chest. Selena steps back and Autumn runs to the ropes, jumps to the top rope and goes back for a spinning heel kick.

Before Phillips can finish his announcement, as Selena starts to get up, Ryan runs over and nails her with a jumping knee drop to the back of the head. Selena rolls through. Ryan gets up. Autumn rolls over as Ryan stomps Selena in the chest over and over. The bell sounds again.

Sharper: “Selena Frost wins! But Ryan Watson now in! Going after Selena!”

Knots: “For a team that doesn’t care, clearly Ryan Watson hates Selena Frost!”

Sharper: “Maybe just an opportunity to counter the sour taste from their mouths from Clarity! Losing the Tag Team Championship!”

Ryan continues to stomp away on Selena as Selena moves to the corner. Autumn starts to get up and Ryan turns back and checks on her, helping her up. Autumn then turns and walks over to the corner. Ryan grabs Selena and pulls her up before then hoisting her up onto his shoulders The crowd roars, while boos also come from the crowd as Autumn starts to climb up to the top rope. But just then, the crowd erupts in cheers as Regan Street runs out from the back. Regan slides in and runs over and nails Ryan from behind. Ryan falls forward and Selena nails Autumn as Autumn is climbing up. She rolls to the floor as Selena holds onto the top rope. Ryan turns around and Regan kicks him in the ribs over and over.

Regan then grabs Ryan’s head and looks around before hitting the CATnap. The crowd roars. Ryan rolls through to his back. Selena then dives off the top rope with a huge moonsault onto Ryan. She rolls through and Ryan holds his ribs in pain. Regan walks around the ring as Ryan rolls out of the ring. Selena then starts to get up and looks around. The crowd cheers as Regan and Selena look around. “Regan!” chants echo throughout the Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Sharper: “Regan Street and Selena Frost standing tall in the middle of the ring. The former World Tag Team Champions looking to take out Selena Frost for a message, but Regan Street helping her friend!”

Knots: “And Zero Effs to Give wishes they actually lived up to that!”

Selena Frost and Regan Street look around as Ryan and Autumn wince on the floor, starting to move around the ring as “Who’s Next” starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd cuts to show Xander Valentine watching backstage.

Knots: “And Xander Valentine watching it all!”

Sharper: “Guess he’s keeping an eye on Selena. Or maybe Regan. They’ve had run-ins too. But what a moment here on Breakdown!”

Regan Street and Selena Frost watch Ryan Watson and Autumn Valentine before the scene cuts away.

The scene cuts backstage as James Evans walks through the backstage area, carrying his baseball bat, leaning it over his shoulder. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Oh no. James Evans is on his way out here.”

Knots: “He’s ready for his fight. He’s called out Syren. He’s called out Infamous. He’s ready for a war!”

Sharper: “We’ll find out what kind of war, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The opening of “Door to Door Cannibals" can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a positive reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain, holding his baseball bat. The cheers intensify as James looks out at the crowd.

"Your name isn't proud demented man
Hold tight to the lie you sold to them
Take God and the case below
It falls on the day with much to learn
But you didn't get it
No you didn't get it
But you didn't get it
No you didn't"

James slowly makes his way to the ring as he starts to admire his baseball bat. The crowd cheers him as he walks down the rampway, reaching the ring.

Sharper: “James Evans has come here with purpose. He’s already approached one of the men he knows was attacking him. He now is looking to call out Infamous. At least that’s what we think.”

Knots: “Who knows? Could be Chris Cannon, but he had his opportunity earlier!”

James Evans grabs at the ropes and pulls himself up onto the apron. He steps into the ring. He then walks forward, placing the baseball bat over his shoulder and walking across to the microphone awaiting him. He takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers him as he looks at the backstage area.

James: “I’ve dealt with one thorn…they didn’t come out at Clarity to get the job done. Well, I made them pay. But Syren, you wanted to stop me from winning the World Title. So here we are. I have my baseball bat…”

The crowd roars.

James: “And you can bring your little chain. Bring your meatshield of a husband. Bring the fossil CHBK. Bring whoever you want. Because I’m here for a fight. I just need this and me. So Syren, since you hate me so much…let’s get it all out right now!”

James throws the microphone behind him. It hits the mat with a thud. James then starts to pace in the ring. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Well that’s to the point!”

Knots: “He wants to face all of Infamous!”

Sharper: “He may need more than a bat!”

James continues to pace as the crowd chants for James. The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural address.

“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is—”

There’s a record scratch before a deep voice fills the arena.

“INFAMOUS!”

The opening of “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up to see Syren walking out with a chain in her hand. She looks down at the ring as Alexander Crowe and CHBK walk out with her. James smirks as the crowd roars. The crowd starts to boo as Ravyn Taylor, Christy Matthews and Christopher Richter walk out too.

Knots: “They’re coming out!”

Sharper: “All of Infamous too! Six on one!”

Knots: “He asked for this!”

Sharper: “He’s not backing down. James Evans looking for this fight. Syren and James Evans making it personal.”

Syren looks around as CHBK turns and does too before the six start to walk down to the ring. James Evans remains in the ring. CHBK and Crowe lead the charge and Crowe runs forward and jumps onto the apron. James runs over and swings, going for his head. Crowe dives back, narrowly missing getting taken out by James’ bat. He backs up as Syren stops at the ringside area. But just as this happens, the crowd erupts in noise as the camera pans back to see Giovanni Aries running behind James and tackling him down from behind. The crowd roars and then boos.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries! We’ve not seen him in months!”

Knots: “Well he’s back and beating the hell out of James Evans!”

James covers up as Giovanni Aries hammers away on the back of James’ head. Syren looks around, turning to everyone in Infamous. Ravyn and CHBK both are as shocked.

Sharper: “Syren is shocked. All of Infamous is! I don’t think this is some plan by them!”

Knots: “They don’t know what to do!”

James covers up as Giovanni gets a few more shots in. He then gets up and looks around. Syren looks around and runs at the ring to get in, but Giovanni turns around and runs at her and catches her with a kick. Syren falls back as the crowd erupts in cheers. Syren falls back and into Infamous, barely kept on her feet as Giovanni turns around and grabs the bat James Evans had.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries now has the baseball bat!”

Knots: “He’s also just kicked Syren in the face! He wants James all to himself!”

Giovanni then turns back to James as James starts to get up and nails him in the back with the bat. James falls back down. Crowe turns back to the ring and Giovanni turns and swings at him. Crowe backs up as Syren wants to get into the ring. CHBK and Ravyn stop her.

Syren: “This is my fight, asshole! I want to take him out!”

Giovanni ignores Syren as he nails James in the back again. Giovanni looks down at him.

Sharper: “At Clarity, James Evans stood alone. He took everyone out in his way. He was screwed out of the World Title. Syren still wants her hands on James, but it looks like Giovanni Aries isn’t done with him either!”

Knots: “And he’s not looking to win him over…he’s looking to take him out!”

Sharper: “We’re out of time! We need help for James!”

Giovanni stands over James and nails him again in the back. James rolls over, arching his back as Syren keeps being held back in the entrance way and the scene fades to black…
