“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 Save the Queen on Ace Marshall 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

Giovanni Aries dragging Jason Helms into the Wonderland hole at Cold Blooded 2020 follows before we see Kandis and Tommy Valentine holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Asher Hayes standing on the ropes follows before we see Jordan Majors hitting a Cash Out on Sienna Swann. 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 Alistaire Allocco on his 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 FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “It’s the final Breakdown of 2020 as we come to you live from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on this special Sunday night edition!”

The cameras pan across the crowd before cutting to ringside where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots stand next to the ring, microphones in their hands.

Sharper: “Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and tonight, huge night to say the least. We’re ending Breakdown this year with some massive matches.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as we see a still of Asher Hayes vs. Glory Braddock for the SCW Adrenaline Championship.

Knots: “Yeah! How about we start with the SCW Adrenaline Championship. No Holds Barred. No Countouts. Someone has to win. Glory Braddock and Asher Hayes face one more time this year. There must be a winner.

The still then changes to show James Evans facing Infamous.

Sharper: “And James Evans has to run the Infamous gauntlet. He wins, he faces Syren. If not, he’s got to move on.”

Knots: “Think he’ll follow that!”

The still changes to Syren vs. Aaron Blackbourne.

Sharper: “Syren will be in action tonight facing off against someone she’s had trouble with in the past and one on one. Infamous cannot be there. That’s a decision by CHBK to get her to focus.”

The Tag League logo then comes up on the screen before we see stills for the Wonderland vs. Swann & Lancaster and Suited & Booted vs. Howell & Raab for the SCW World Tag Team Championship.

Knots: “And the Tag League continues tonight. World Tag Team Championship on the line when Suited and Booted defend against Howell and Raab. But I’m looking forward to the other one.”

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams and Jessica Lasiewicz will be the special referees for that one, thanks to Katya. The personal nature all coming to a head.”

Knots: “We also have Moretal Combat, and Jordan Majors and Cookie Dreams will be in action too. What the hell else is going to happen tonight?”

Sienna Swann & Bree Lancaster vs. The Wonderland

Tag League

The opening guitar riff of “Crazy Train” begins to play. The crowd roars. A few moments pass as Kimberly Williams comes rushing out onto the stage to loud cheers from the audience. She has a Christmas sack with her and is wearing referee strips. Kim looks around as Jessica Lasiewicz follows out after her, also wearing referee strips. Jessica heads to the ring as Kim starts to skip down to the ring. They reach the ring and Jessica slides in.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the special referees for our opening match here tonight on Breakdown, Jessica Lasiewicz and Kimberly Williams!”

The crowd roars as Kim runs up the stairs and looks around. She then lifts the sack and tosses into the ring. She steps into the ring. She looks around as Jessica walks around the ring, checking the turnbuckles and other places as Kim Williams checks her sack.

Sharper: “We’re kicking things off with this match. Sienna Swann and Bree Lancaster facing the Wonderland and Giovanni and Sienna have been tweeting each other since Wednesday night.”

Knots: “They’ve been threatening Kim, but clearly on the same page. I’m stunned we’re starting with this one.”

Sharper: “I’ve heard that because of their plans, SCW officials refused to allow the issues building up between these two teams and the SCW management ruin this jampacked show. Still…”

Knots: “Given that we’re near the home of the SCW Founder, I just would rather this be later. If they don’t show up, they forfeit everything in the Tag League depending on how Cruze and Blackbourne do in the rest of the Tag League.”

“We’re All Mad Here” by Marquis of Vaudeville begins to play as the arena goes dark except for a spotlight as Alice Ames walks out to the center of it. The camera shows a close up as Alice takes a psychedelic colored blow pop and seductively licks it as the arena lights change to wild psychedelic colors as Cain Adams appears with Giovanni Aries riding piggy back on him. Alice continues to lick on the blow while Giovanni Aries has the cigarette hanging in his mouth.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries is actually here with them!”

Knots: “Oh boy…”

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on their way to the ring, from Black Rock Desert, Nevada, they are the team of the Wonderland!”

He puffs on it for a minute before sticking it in Cain Adams mouth. Giovanni Aries hysterically laughs out and points toward the ring. They make their way down the ramp as Alice slides into the ring while Cain Adams carries Giovanni Aries to the ring apron. Cain turns his back to the ring apron as Giovanni takes a seat on the ring apron. Giovanni Aries looks around the arena before throwing his arms out and yelling at the top of his lungs:

“DEATH TO THE LIZARD KINGDOM!!!!”

Giovanni breaks out in mad laughter again before pulling himself with the ring ropes and back flipping into the ring as Cain Adams follows by climbing up and the ring ropes. Giovanni Aries circles the ring pointing and yelling about the atrocities of the lizard kingdom before he takes a seat on the top turnbuckle as Cain Adams and Alice Ames stand in front of Giovanni Aries. They just watch Kimberly Williams and Jessica Lasiewicz. Kim playfully waves at them. Jessica turns to Kim and gets her to stop.

Sharper: “This changes the tenor. It’s been the Wonderland without Giovanni as of late, but now he’s here.”

Knots: “This just makes me think more that they’re going to try something.”

The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fills the arena.

{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache, cast away

Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey

And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}

As the heavy music of Imagine Dragons kicks in the lights come back up and Bree Lancaster is standing on the stage, a white robe over her gear and her arms spread wide. The interim SCW World Championship sits around her waist. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily. 

Phillips: “Their opponents, first accompanied by Scott Burnside, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is the interim SCW World Champion, she is Bree Lancaster!”

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. He goes to the apron as Bree walks to the center of the ring, turning as she does. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. She removes her World Championship and hands it to Scott. She removes the robe and hands it off as her music fades.

Suddenly, the rift of “Fallen Angel” by Three Days Grace begins to play, a lone spotlight centers in the entrance way where Sienna Swann has both fists on the ground while balanced on one knee. Slowly standing up, wearing all vinyl wrestling gear, black pointed eyeliner and red lips. Her long blonde hair slicked back in a high ponytail, wearing a pair of black wings that she spreads out with her arms. She now wears shin guards up to her knee pads, black vinyl gauntlets on her wrists and a long sleeve cut off top with her traditional short tights, Xiomara Diaz walks out behind her wearing a tight body suit; Sierra Swann steps out too. Sienna with her eyes closed looks up at the rafters before opening them and making her way to the ring with a glare from her icy blue eyes. 

Phillips: “And her partner, making her way to the ring, from Johannesburg, South Africa, accompanied by Xiomara Diaz and Sierra Swann, she is the ‘Avenging Angel’ Sienna Swann!”

Xiomara, Sierra and Sienna continue to walk toward the ring as “Fallen Angel” continues to play. Xiomara hops to the ring, waits for Sienna to get on the apron before climbing to the second rope, spreading out her black wings as the crowd roars in boos and covers the arena in camera flashes while Xiomara looks on. Sienna hops over landing on her feet in the ring, Xiomara steps in and stands by her as Sienna poses, holding her arms up and wings spread, lowering her head for a moment before looking up with a scowl on her face. Xiomara helps take off her wings before she finally goes outside of the ring as Bree meets Sienna in the corner. Sierra joins Scott to discuss fashion at ringside. Sienna walks out as Kim Williams turns to Phillips and hands him a card. Sienna goes to go for Kim, but Kim shakes her fingers.

Sharper: “Sienna already starting to head for Kim. They’re not going to wait-“

Knots: “They may want to!”

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, I have been handed a card from the acting officials for this match. It outlines the rules for this contest!”

Sienna stops and Kim smiles.

Phillips: “First off, the rules of the officials are final and should either team attack, intentionally or not, the two special referees, Sienna Swann will be disqualified!”

Bree just steps up as Sienna steps up and snaps at Phillips as Kim taps her SCW logo on her shirt. Jessica smirks.

Sharper: “Well that’s one way to prevent this from turning into a beat down. Take away the one thing that could affect Bree too!”

Phillips: “Furthermore, no fall, except the aforementioned disqualification, can occur without one member of either team drawing blood!”

Kim smiles.

Phillips: “To help, Kim will offer her skills, financed by an exceptional amount of chili dogs, to help the two teams meet this conditions.”

Sienna shakes her head as Giovanni remains stoic. Sienna looks at Giovanni before Giovanni turns to Cain.

Phillips: “And finally, Kimberly Williams would like Datura to know she is ready for More-tal Combat whenever she is, including in this match. She even has a referee ready to count a fall to sanction the unsanctioned challenge!”

Kim smiles as Phillips looks at the card. She nods before turning to Cain and Alice.

Kim: “Not going to screw this up for me this time!”

Kim then turns to both teams.

Sharper: “Kim Williams gaming this for her benefit!”

Knots: “She’s never taken things seriously at the best of times, but this…this is great. Making both teams have to squirm a bit!”

Jessica calls for the bell while looking at Kim, shaking her head. Kim smiles before grabbing her sack of goodies. The bell sounds. Giovanni then nods to Cain as Cain then suddenly starts to punch himself in the face, over and over. The crowd looks on, ohing, as Cain starts to split open a cut over his eye from the shots. He then smiles, cackling almost before rubbing his face, spreading the blood. Jessica looks at Kim and Kim nods. Jessica points to it as Sienna turns to Bree and then looks around. Kim walks over and leans over.

Kim: “Who’s the legal woman? Need someone to bleed too!”

Sienna turns, glaring at Kim as Kim backs off. She then reaches into her sack and holds up a staple gun. Sienna just looks at her glaring. Bree then looks at Sienna. Sienna turns back. She then looks at everyone else before turning to Kim. Sienna then tags in Bree. She says something to Bree. Bree enters the ring. Kim emphatically recognizes the tag.

Sharper: “Sienna trying to figure this out. Bree the legal woman.”

Knots: “Not going to risk the countout with Kim in there. We don’t know the speed she’ll count with. Jessica either. Not after everything.”

Sharper: “Well one thing for sure. There’s no match going on. It’s all mind games to start here.”

Bree looks at Cain Adams and Alice Ames. Ames stands on the apron as Cain looks at Bree. Bree turns to Sienna and then back, watching Cain. Cain just smirks, blood coming down his face. Sienna starts to talk to Sierra. Scott looks quite concerned as Bree keeps watching the Wonderland. Sienna then turns to Xiomara. The camera gets in close.

Sienna: “She wants someone to bleed. Well…I’m not. Bree definitely won’t and Sierra is the future. She needs to look immaculate.”

Scott: “Look, I-“

Sienna: “Relax Scott…you’re fine too.”

Xiomara eyes Sienna. Sienna turns to her.

Sienna: “Your job is protect me, right?”

Sienna glances back as Kim starts to go through her bag and pulls out her knife and unsheathes it. The crowd roars. Kim sheathes it again and then pulls out a stuffed penguin. The crowd cheers again. We cut back to Xiomara and Sienna.

Sharper: “She’s asking Xiomara to bleed for her?”

Sienna: “So Xio…you can do your job and we get past this bullshit!”

Xiomara looks in the ring and then to Sienna. Sierra turns to Sienna.

Sierra: “Sie-“

Xiomara: “If she wants it…fine…”

Sienna smiles and then hugs Xiomara.

Sienna: “Make it gets on me. We can fake it.”

Xiomara looks at Sienna and Scott before Kim walks over as Xiomara pulls something off her arm and then Sienna and Xiomara squat down to hide. Kim starts to head over as Bree turns and steps up to stop her. Kim and Bree look at one another. Jessica then points to Kim’s shirt before the crowd roars. We then see Datura climb the barricade and to the floor. She rolls into the ring, holding a chain. She runs over and nails Kim from behind. Bree backs up as the crowd ohs and roars. Bree just smiles. Jessica turns and steps back. Kim rolls over. Datura turns and nails her with a couple of hard rights. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Datura attacking! Taking advantage!”

Knots: “She’s got the chain. This is what Kim wanted. Sienna is getting Xiomara to bleed for her. This is just nuts. This is how the last Breakdown of 2020 is going to start!”

Jessica watches as Datura gets up and stomps away on Kim. Datura turns to Bree. Bree smiles as the crowd boos. Cain smiles too as Datura grabs Kim and turns and runs her over and throws her to the floor. Jessica turns as Xiomara gets up, bleeding as Sienna turns, holding her arm, using some of Xiomara’s blood to cover it. Jessica turns and sees Sienna as she turns and Xiomara falls to a knee. Jessica looks at Sienna as she then shrugs. Bree steps over and snaps at her, before Datura runs over and grabs her and pulls her down. She looks at Bree as Jessica rolls over. Kim however rolls over and gets up, crawling over to her bag. Datura points to her and then grabs her, but Jessica shoves her back and Kim gets up and with the staple gun and staples Datura in the forehead. The crowd ohs. Datura staggers off. She spins around and Kim staples her again in the forehead. Datura falls back and tries to get out of the ring, but Kim grabs her by the tights and staples her in the left buttcheek. Datura yells out and Kim staples her right one and Datura gets free. Kim then turns and holds the staple gun up.

Crowd: “Staple! Staple! Staple!”

Bree just looks at her annoyed as Jessica starts to get up and Kim then turns and runs across and Sienna yells at Kim. Kim turns and heads over. Sienna backs up as Xiomara is holding her forehead, turning away. Giovanni looks at Datura as Datura holds her ass in pain and turns around and then grabs the monitor from the announce table. She pulls it out as Kim turns and tells Sienna to come to her. Jessica gets up and Sienna keeps her back. Bree snaps at Kim, pointing to the blood as Sierra and Scott check on Xiomara. Kim then backs up and shrugs before Datura nails her with the monitor in the face. The crowd ohs. Datura rolls over, rubbing her forehead and then rolling over and grabbing her ass. Datura then turns and reaches into her pants, pulling out two items. Kim crawls over to the sack and rummages through, getting something.

Sharper: “Datura getting involved. We have two matches.”

Knots: “One between allies who are just waiting. It’s like they’re filling time. They don’t care if the ratings go down. Giovanni wouldn’t!”

Sharper: “Kim…this is chaos. Chaos created by Kim Williams and Jessica Lasiewicz cosigned it!”

Alice looks on as Cain remains in the corner, blood just slowly coming down his face and onto his chest. Bree keeps watching him and Sienna, clearly showing her frustration.

Sharper: “And Bree is just getting annoyed!”

Knots: “I tell you what she’s thinking. She’s the interim World Champion. She should be above this. That’s how her mind works. And this whole scheme with Sienna Swann has brought her down to that.”

Sharper: “Sienna has to be counting on the friendship they have. But Giovanni Aries has to also love this. He’s watching this chaos. He’s always loved chaos.”

Knots: “What the hell do Datura and Kim both have? Even Jessica Lasiewicz doesn’t know what to think.”

Jessica turns to Kim as Datura gets up and yells out “MORETAL COMBAT!” Datura then turns to Kim as Kim does too and both light lighters in their hands and throw fireballs at one another. The crowd ohs and Kim and Datura both go down, holding their faces. Jessica runs over and checks on her sister. Giovanni just smiles. Sienna then turns and tells Bree to do something, but Bree’s already moved forward and tells Jessica to recognize Sienna. Jessica looks at Kim and then back and waves it off before Bree turns to Sienna. Cain then tags in Alice. Jessica turns and Alice ends and promptly drops to the mat. Bree goes over and pins her.

1!

2!

3!

Jessica calls for the bell before turning back to Kim. Kim turns, holding her face, as Datura does the same. We see officials jogging down as Sienna snaps at them for someone to help Xiomara. Many run past and check on Kim and Datura.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, Bree Lancaster and Sienna Swann!”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Jessica Lasiewicz focusing on her sister over this plan she and her came up with. Kim and Datura had the same idea.”

Knots: “Both wanted to throw fireballs. And both hurt!”

Sharper: “Not what they had in mind, but now officials checking on both. Bree’s long-time ally from earlier in the year, Datura, striking and helping, unwittingly or not.”

Sienna then yells at the officials as Bree drops down to the floor. Giovanni Aries walks around and extends his hand to her. Bree looks at him and then turns to Sienna before helping Xiomara up with Scott and Sierra. Sienna just turns to Giovanni Aries and smiles. Giovanni just nods at her and Sienna heads off as Giovanni smiles turning to the ring. Jessica turns to Sienna and Bree and then to Cain and Alice who join Giovanni. Jessica turns back to Kim as Kim swings, trying to attack Datura. Datura however starts to be pulled from the ring. She gets free and then moves, walking right into the announce table. Datura falls over, holding herself in pain.

Sharper: “Datura and Kim are hurt. They’ve hurt each other.”

Knots: “This is what happens when a sociopath gets involved in this. She may have gotten some of what she wanted.”

Sharper: “Stapled Datura. Forced some bloodshed, but then, her and Datura, thinking the same…”

Knots: “Well there are fireballs in Mortal Kombat, but I thought it was More-tal Combat?”

Sharper: “I just hope Datura and Kim are okay. But I know one person who is going to be annoyed – Katya…this was an opportunity for revenge against Sienna and the Wonderland. To force them to fight…but now they’re free for the night.”

Sienna starts to smile, before looking at her hand, covered in Xiomara’s blood. She then smirks and continues to head to the back.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Xiomara Diaz in the corner as Scott Burnside tends to her. Sierra Swann is with Sienna Swann talking to her. Sienna hugs her sister before turning back as Bree Lancaster is leaning at a dresser and mirror. She looks at the SCW World Championship and then turns back as Sienna walks over.

Sienna: “See…all works out.”

Bree: “Did that work out? We’re dealing with someone who’s half insane who just convinced you to carve up Xiomara just so we could get out of the match.”

Sienna: “So it took a bit longer. Xio will do anything for me….for us.”

Bree: “Yeah, well I’m the interim World Champion…you’re a former World Champion. We should be beyond this. And thank God for Datura…She actually shown up and reminded me she’ll have my back-“

Sienna: “It worked out. We got the two points. And they proved yet again, the Wonderland and the Ambitchous Angels…we’ll always be ahead. Plus, people will be talking about that…what we want. Good press and all.”

Bree: “Look, I don’t know-“

Sienna: “Giovanni even said hi. See, he’s not so bad.”

Bree: “Is he? Right now, is this the best plan? I mean this is someone who spits in the face of everything we demand…the World Title…the US Title…we’re doing this for the tag titles.”

Sienna: “It’s fine, Bree. Trust me, on this. It’s all going to be worth it.”

Bree: “I do trust you…just…after that, I feel I need to remind everyone that I’m the real World Champion.”

Sienna: “Totally get it. This is about reminding everyone that WE are the best. Plus, what I have planned…focus on Jordan. We owe her a humbling.”

Sienna smiles as Bree takes her title. She nods and walks off.

In another part of the building, we open up to see Datura in the trainer’s room. She’s looking around, but squinting. The trainer is holding some gauze on her head.

Datura: “Where is it? My belt! The unsanctioned title!”

Trainer: “You didn’t have a belt. Datura…we need you to just be calm.”

Datura: “I’ve worked so hard for it…”

Datura grimaces.

Datura: “She stapled me in the ass!”

Trainer: “We’ll get those out shortly. We need to make sure your face and eyes are safe.”

Datura keeps grimacing in pain. We then cut to another part of the building where Kimberly Williams is standing up and falling into a couch and trips over it, falling over. Jessica runs over to help her.

Jessica: “Kim! You need to stop. You’re not seeing clearly.”

Kim: “I can see fine!”

Kim falls to the back of the couch.

Jessica: “No you can’t! You need help.”

Kim: “Nope! No help here. None. Keep the help away. Did we stab Sienna Swann?”

Jessica: “I focused on you, you fool. Just…Stay still.”

Kim: “You let her go…I’m going to have to give back the chili dogs.”

Jessica: “We’re going to get an angry phone call soon enough. You had to bring in the stuff with Datura.”

Kim: “Kill two birds with one stone. Plus, Wonderland made it part of this.”

Kim squints as she pulls away.

Kim: “Whatever…there a camera in here.”

Jessica: “Yeah…they’re-“

Kim: “Datura! When you can hear me…blind or not. Deaf or not…able to sit down or not…I still want that shot at your title!”

Jessica: “Kim, stop it! We have other things to worry about.”

Kim: “Not me! I can multi-task! Just tell them to dim the lights!”

Jessica keeps trying to get Kim to sit still to check on her as we cut away.

Breakdown opens up to Jessica Winters backstage in one of the locker rooms. Kelcey Wallace, Owen Cruze, and Aaron Blackbourne are with her.

Jessica: “Hello everyone. I’m Jessica Winters here alongside Kelcey Wallace, Owen Cruze and Aaron Blackbourne. And we just saw the latest Tag League match and given Sienna’s actions and Bree Lancaster’s involvement and of course, the Wonderland, it looks, right now, that you two, Owen and Aaron, you have an opportunity to take the bloc, with a couple of big wins.”

Owen: “Sienna and Bree may be their worst enemies. Sienna of course, but the fact is that we’re not surprised that they were going to pull something like that. A slap in the face to all of our fans. The two greatest wrestlers, in their mind, can’t be bothered to compete.”

Kelcey: “But they have the spotlight.”

Owen: “Yeah, really….The spotlight for that. But I just hope people are talking more about Datura and Kimberly and how both may be more insane that we thought…or maybe how pathetic Sienna is to have her own manager draw her own blood.”

Aaron: “Admittedly, that stipulation…”

Owen: “Kim goes to the beat of her own drum. They’re lucky that’s all it was. The fact is that now, they’ve got their opportunity to do what they want and that’s not something I’m going to sit back and watch.”

Kelcey: “Sienna all but told us she was going to try something tonight. We’re near Toronto. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what she’s thinking and the fact is that we’re done being behind this while she’s playing by her own rules. Sometimes you need to do what’s right to do what’s right, even if that means taking things into your own hands.”

Owen: “And that’s what we’re going to do.”

The crowd cheers.

Jessica: “But Aaron, you have a big night for other reasons. You face Syren, one on one, and CHBK has promised it will be without Infamous at ringside.”

Aaron: “Looks like some past memories are coming back to haunt me. Shilo Valiant returns. I have a match against Syren. The fact is that if I need to step up and defeat her again, I’ll do just that to the best of my ability. I know I can beat her. I did that a year and a half ago. And I’m sick and tired of people thinking I can’t repeat. But the fact is that Syren, she needs that reality check. If she’s going to be solo, then she’s going to earn a victory, if she can. But, I’m going to throw what I can at her…and a few things she’s probably never seen….and then after…I’m standing with these two.”

Jessica: “Well we’ll see how tonight goes. Obviously, now, everyone has their eyes on Sienna Swann and the Wonderland. Obviously by design. But Aaron, keeping focused on Syren. Adam?”

The scene cuts to a live shot of the inside of the FirstOntario Centre, the cameras panning across the crowd as they cheer. Some fans mug for the camera.

Sharper: “Talk about a wild start.”

Knots: “And we get Bree again! Oh goody!”

Sharper: “But obviously, concerns about what may take place still tonight. And we have Datura and Kim Williams immediately going too far in their fight. And we’re just getting started!”

Knots: “Looks like 2020 is going to end hot. And we still have the End of the Year Special, on New Year’s Eve!”

The End of the Year Special logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still of Jordan Majors vs. Bree Lancaster.

Sharper: “It will be a night to celebrate the year that was. And it was a noteworthy year. We’ll hand out our End of the Year awards! But we will also see Jordan Majors challenge Bree Lancaster for the SCW World Championship.”

Knots: “Interim!”

Sharper: “Yes, interim. And these two have a long history. Former friends. Now estranged. We’ll see how it all comes out tonight.”

Knots: “And not just that, we have the End of the Year Open Invitational. Who will show up? Who will appear to win a quarter of a mill and a new car!”

Sharper: “Some big winners in the past. Someone could also get a career-defining win. All that and more, on New Year’s Eve, at the End of the Year Special!”

Konrad Raab is backstage looking at his phone in his locker room as Dylan Howell walks into the locker room and sees him.

Dylan: “Konnie!”

Konrad stops and puts the phone down and turns.

Dylan: “Whatcha got there?”

Raab: “Nothing, just….nothing.”

Dylan: “It’s Minerva, isn’t it.”

Raab: “Sorry. I just can’t stop thinking about her. It’s…invigorating.”

Dylan: “Yeah…I’d say…but what about what we do? I mean we were going to be ready. Kick ass. Beat Dark Fantasy. We’re going for the Tag Titles! Now Taggy is not Addy, but still big!”

Raab: “I know. I know….I need to be focused. I will tonight. Tonight, it’s a second chance.”

Dylan: “Exactly. And you need to be focused. FOCUSED! FOCUSED ON WINNING!”

Raab: “I know…I’ll be focused.”

Raab nods. Dylan walks over and grabs the phone.

Dylan: “I’ll take this to be safe.”

Dylan then turns and looks around before heading over to his gear as Raab sits down, a bit disappointed.

JaMarcus Avery vs. Derek Adonis

KABLAM!

The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd as Derek Adonis steps out on the stage amidst a bright, white light. For some reason, he’s wearing a large, white bathrobe. The crowd roars as they anticipate him to sensually strut down the ramp, but he instead folds his hands together and slowly shuffles down the ramp with his head down. The crowd buzzes in confusion. Adonis slowly walks by a voluptuous blonde without even a second look.

Knots: “... what?”

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

Sharper: “Derek Adonis making his way to the ring, a lot more subdued than usual.”

As the chorus comes around, Adonis steps up the stairs without any theatrics. He slips through the ropes and enters the ring before making his way to the middle of the ring, finally looking up and out into the crowd. He touches his forehead, chest, and both shoulders, completing the sign of the cross.

Knots: “Has Adonis found religion? What is this? Where the hell’s Cookie?!”

Sharper: “I guess he couldn’t get the music change done in time for tonight.”

Knots: “Wait a minute, why is he wearing a bathrobe?! Is that supposed to be holy?!”

Adonis disrobes and puts the robe in his corner. "King Nothing" by Metallica echoes from the louder speaker. The lights go out. When the lights come back on Donovan Cunningham appears on the stage. Not too long after JaMarcus Avery and TD Batterson walk out to join him. All three of them raise one fist into the air.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from San Francisco, California, he is The Evolution of Pro Wrestling, JaMarcus Avery!”

The three begin to march down to the ring with purpose.

Sharper: “Well, I can tell you someone who doesn’t give a damn about what the deal is with Derek Adonis.”

Knots: “Right, JaMarcus Avery hasn’t really been about theatrics or gimmicks since coming here to SCW. He’s coming in here looking to get the job done, and that job is defeating Adonis here tonight.”

They reach the ring. Donovan gets on the apron. JaMarcus slides underneath the bottom rope. While all this is going on TD walks up the ring step. Donovan holds the rope open for TD to enter the ring. They join JaMarcus in the center of the ring. Once again all three raise their fist in the air. TD and Donovan exit the ring leaving JaMarcus in the ring across from Adonis. Adonis steps forward and meets Avery in the middle of the ring. The bell rings and Adonis slowly bows his head. Avery looks on, mostly just confused.

Sharper: “Show of respect from Adonis to Avery to start the match.”

Knots: “This is surreal.”

Suddenly, Adonis jumps up and attempts a sloppy looking roundhouse kick. Avery dodges it by stepping back. He bounces back into the ropes and runs at Adonis, attempting to take him down with a shoulder tackle. He plants his shoulder into the chest of Adonis, but it’s not very effective. Avery again bounces off of the ropes, this time coming back with a strong clothesline. The crowd ohs as Adonis stumbles back, falling forward into the corner. Avery stays on him, splashing him into the corner. He leans forward and thrusts his shoulder into the spine of Adonis repeatedly. Adonis yelps out in pain while clutching the ropes as the referee starts the count.

1!

Avery gets off but pulls Adonis back with him. He hooks the waist.

Sharper: “Adonis about to be taken for a ride.”

Avery pulls him back, attempting a German suplex, but Adonis deadweights and just lands on top of Avery, accidentally planting him with a back splash. The crowd roars.

Knots: “Oh, but Adonis counters! Kind of!”

Adonis rolls off of Avery, who stays on the ground holding his ribs. Adonis jogs towards the ropes and bounces off. He jogs towards Avery and winds his arm up, using his free hand to point to the heavens. He drops down with a hard elbow drop to the chest of Avery. Adonis goes for the cover.

1!

Avery kicks out and pushes Adonis off. He continues to hold his ribs as Adonis slowly pulls himself up. Avery, despite stirring later than Adonis, actually gets to his feet just before Adonis. Adonis turns around into a jumping forearm attempt from Avery, but Adonis sidesteps it. He grabs Avery and hoists him up before dropping him right back down with a back suplex. Both Avery and Adonis use the force of the move to bounce back up quickly. Adonis kicks Avery in the gut and hooks him for a suplex. He lifts him up and appears to struggle keeping Avery up in the air, so he prematurely drops him down, dropping Avery right on his head. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Adonis with a series of suplexes, keeping Avery down.”

Knots: “I wouldn’t call Adonis a suplex machine, but he’s getting the job done with them here.”

Adonis gets up and drags Avery towards the corner. Adonis backs up into the corner and takes a small step onto the bottom rope. He splashes down onto Avery. The crowd ohs. Adonis stays in position for the cover.

1!

2!

Avery gets a shoulder up. Adonis uses the ropes to pull himself up and looks out into the crowd. The crowd roars as he again backs up into the corner, but this time going up to the second rope.

Sharper: “Adonis might be looking for another big splash, a bit higher this time.”

Knots: “Higher risk!”

Adonis steadies himself on the second rope before leaping off towards Avery. Avery rolls out of the way to the middle of the ring, sending Adonis crashing into the mat.

Knots: “Oh, and nothing but canvas there!”

Avery rolls back towards Adonis and rolls him over before hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Adonis kicks out right after two.

Sharper: “Adonis has been controlling most of this match, maybe mostly out of luck, but JaMarcus Avery’s looking to take advantage of the mistake of the second splash.”

Knots: “The good news for Avery is that Adonis has pretty much blown through his entire moveset already. Avery’s a smart guy, you know he’s studied Adonis, so he has to know what’s coming at this point.”

Avery gets to his feet and struggles to bring Adonis up with him, but eventually does so successfully. He brings Adonis up and drills him with a European uppercut. He hits him with another one, sending Adonis stumbling back a bit. Avery steps forward, following him, laying in another uppercut. After another one, Adonis is backed up into the corner again. Avery throws up a forearm, nailing Adonis in the head. With Adonis trapped in the corner, Avery continues to lay in some stiff forearm shots. The referee begins the count.

1!

2!

Avery backs off, again bringing Adonis with him. He hooks him for an exploder suplex and throws him up and over his head, slamming him into the middle of the ring. The crowd ohs and then applauds.

Sharper: “What a show of strength from JaMarcus Avery!”

Knots: “And Adonis nearly ended up on the other side of the ring from that one!”

Avery gets to his feet and stalks Adonis, who is struggling to get up. He eventually makes it to his feet, but immediately gets clubbed in the back by Avery. Avery whips Adonis around and again hooks him for the exploder, and again throws him back.

Sharper: “Again, Adonis controlled this match early on, but Avery’s just manhandling him now.”

Knots: “Avery planted him so hard, I wouldn’t be surprised if he knocked him back into his old self!”

Sharper: “Watch those hips. The answer lies in the hips of Derek Adonis.”

Avery crawls over and pins Adonis.

1!

2!

Adonis just gets a shoulder up before the three. Avery rolls off Adonis and slides outside the ring. He’s seen talking to his two managers as we see Adonis slowly getting up in the ring.

Sharper: “Avery now, maybe getting some advice on the outside.”

Knots: “Seems to be doing just fine on his own. What can they really say? Hit him harder?”

Avery nods and slides back into the ring. Adonis reacts quickly and hits Avery with a right hand. The crowd cheers as Adonis lays in another. Avery looks a bit dazed. Adonis takes a couple steps back before running forward, battering himself into Avery. Avery bounces backwards, landing hard in the corner. Adonis jogs to the corner opposite of Avery.

Knots: “I think I just saw the vibrations of Man Mountain’s galloping in my bottle of water.”

Adonis sets up in the corner before running as fast as he can towards Avery. He goes for a big splash in the corner, but Avery moves at the last moment. Adonis plows right into the corner. Avery uses the momentum from the dodge to bounce himself off of the ropes, coming back with a splash of his own into the corner, crushing Adonis. Adonis stumbles backwards out of the corner. Avery catches him, turns him around, and knees him in the gut before hooking him for a suplex. He uses all of his strength to hoist Adonis up before dropping him down with a devastating cutter. The crowd roars, giving a mixed reaction of cheers and boos.

Knots: “Court Martialed!”

Sharper: “Avery again showing off how much power he has, driving Adonis down into the mat! That oughta do it.”

Avery calmly slides back and hooks the leg.

1!

2!

3!

The crowd boos as the bell sounds while “King Nothing” plays throughout the arena. Avery pulls himself up.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, JaMarcus Avery!”

Avery keeps a calm look on his face as the referee raises his hand in victory.

Sharper: “JaMarcus Avery with the victory. Starting to make his mark here in SCW.”

Knots: “You’re right. Think he also left a mark in the ring. He totally planted Adonis!”

Avery looks on as Adonis crawls into the corner. Adonis can be seen mumbling to himself in the corner with his eyes closed.

Knots: “Is he praying now?”

Sharper: “I’d say it’s a bit late for that, but what do I know?”

Adonis continues to pray as Avery exits the ring and meets up with Batterson and Cummingham. They all look back at Adonis, unsure of what to think. They all head up the ramp as Adonis apparently finishes his prayer and begins to bring himself back to his feet.

Breakdown opens up backstage to see Giovanni Aries, Cain Adams, who has a towel in his head, seemingly trying to stop the bleeding he caused on himself, and Alice Ames walking through the backstage area.

Sharper: “Now where the hell are they going?”

Knots: “I think we know. They’re not even hiding it.”

Giovanni smirks as he walks past the security checkpoint. The guard on duty walks over and Giovanni just holds his hand out.

Giovanni: “Special meeting. Going to go say hi to the Lizard King directly!”

Giovanni cackles as Cain steps over and shoves the security guard down. Alice skips past. They head through the doors.

Breakdown returns as Sasha is with Dean Black in her office.

Dean: “I’m just saying what they said.”

Sasha: “They’re trying to get us to bite. If they are going to my dad’s, Katya and I hired personal security there. He’s not happy about it, but we’re not taking a chance.”

Dean: “I’m surprised at how passive he’s being.”

Sasha: “He flat out told me. He’s overreacted in the past. He refused to let himself get drawn that way. That’s why the defiance. But now, Katya and I are stepping up and …”

Sasha sighs.

Dean: “At least you two are working together…What about the SCW HQ?”

Sasha: “Same. We have security there. They’re forcing us to call a bluff. Add Kelcey and Owen-“

Dean: “Well with Sienna…”

Sasha: “Just keep eyes on everyone and-“

Just then, the door opens and Ricky James storms in, holding a pile of connected printer paper with Lucy Huckabee Sanders right behind him.

Ricky: “What is this?! Look at this…this is what I’m reading! There is NO WAY I could have not won. I received more votes than anyone else named Ricky has ever won in this company for this shot. Jordan Majors won? You just want a blonde at the top. This is just one way that you’ve pushed your Canadian agenda. Just because Chicago is closer to the border. Just like you favoured another Chicagoan with that fraudulent Adrenaline Championship match tonight. One that I WON. This is just beyond ridiculous!”

LHS: “We are prepared to go to an EMERGENCY press conference to expose your lies, slander and fraud to the American people and make it clear to the world that Ricky James should not ONLY be challenging for the SCW Adrenaline Championship tonight, but ALSO the SCW World Championship. It’s what the American people demand. But no-“

Black: “Excuse me, is that printer paper?”

LHS: “That’s neither here nor there. That’s just what Steve had to give to us. He’s run the numbers and helped us understand what is REALLY going on here!”

Black: “Steve…uh, look-“

Sasha: “Dean, I can handle it.”

LHS: “You better have answers! I mean Asher Hayes is even standing against GOD! Oy Dios mio…”

Ricky: “Lucy!”

LHS clears her voice.

LHS: “Oh my God!”

Sasha: “Ricky…you lost. You got overzealous at Last Laugh. But you got second and for that, I can congratulate you. As for the fan vote, it’s clear some find your approach…entertaining. But most don’t. And Jordan Majors has had a career yet. Maybe next year will be your year. But complaining to me is not going to change anything.”

Ricky: “Complaining?!”

LHS: “Oh you want complaints. THIS is what’s going around on the web. That that new team that STRUNG YOU ALONG, Pequena and Blythe…they’re being paid more than Ricky here and Ricky has brought you fresh eyes-“

Black: “Okay…we’re down. Come on!”

LHS: “Hey! We’re not done. We’re being silenced!”

Ricky: “Hey! You can’t silence us!”

Dean Black helps force LHS and Ricky James out of the office as Sasha sits down and the scene cuts away.

Jordan Majors & Cookie Dreams vs. Gavin Taylor & Katie Steward

Tag League

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall, has a 15 minute time limit and is a Block B, WORLD TAG LEAGUE MATCH!!”

The crowd roars upon the mentioning until…

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Sweet but Psycho:” by Ava Max plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold religious ring robe that is pope like and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd. 

Phillips; “Introducing first, hailing from Los Angeles, California. She is the Goddess of Desire, the Queen of Queens and SCW Hall of Fame inductee. Being accompanied to the ring by TJ Johnson, she is KATIE STEWARD!!!”

TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length. Katie walks around the ring and up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie to her corner.

Sharper: “Dissention within the ranks of this Tag league team. Gavin and Katie bumping heads on more than one occasion, the blow out of that was at Last Laugh.”

Knots: “And Gavin won that match, proving to anyone who actually cares that he is the captain, not Katie Steward!!”

Sharper: “Well we will see just how that translates tonight as they look to ruin the perfect run so far of the Psychonauts!”

The arena’s lights go out with a flick of a switch, then without warning a robotic voice comes over the P.A System uttering one word over and over again, each time it gets faster and faster along with the pitch higher and higher that same word is then spoken one final time with more authority. 

.PSYCHONAUTS.
.PSYCHONAUTS.
.PSYCHONAUTS.
.PSYCHONAUTS.
.PSYCHONAUTS.

.PSYCHONAUTS.

The opening to Popstars by KD/A hits over the P.A System next as purple and green spotlights shine down on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors from behind with her arms outstretched. Kneeling in front of her flexing her arms with a lollipop in her mouth and a cat ear headband is Cookie Dreams who is moving her head to the music. Pyro ignites alongside them bringing the house lights back on, Cookie now standing back to back with Jordan as the pair slowly spin on the spot with their arms folded. Jason Phillips is heard next with the introduction…

Phillips: “And their opponents, hailing from Chicago, Illinois and the CookieVerse respectively by way of Santa Monica, California… They weighed in tonight at a combined weight of one-hundred and seventeen thousand nine-hundred and thirty-four grams… They are the team of Jordan Majors and Cookie Dreams, THEY ARE THE PSYCHONAUTS!!”

The crowd roars as both women turn to face each other and hug before turning to the ramp way and both pointing towards the ring. The BFF’s beginning to walk down towards the ring with a purpose while Cookie mouths some of the lyrics to their theme song. Both women slap hands with some fans along the way before they stop at the bottom of the ramp and smile. Cookie and Jordan approach the apron and leap onto it before turning and sitting on the middle rope looking out at the crowd as they take photos. Spinning on the middle rope both women enter the ring and walk to opposite corners and climb the second rope and pose for the crowd. Cookie flexing like she was a Greek god and Jordan extending her arms like she was Rose at the front of the Titanic  with Jack as their music begins to fade out, both women jump down and go to their respective corner.



The bell sounds and Jordan and Gavin kick things off, the two circling as a “Let’s Go Psycho” chant starts to build up. Gavin though tells the fans they’re saying his name wrong. Jordan and Gavin lock up in the middle, Taylor grabbing Jordan’s arm and turn it into a hammerlock. Jordan winces a little and tries a back elbow but Gavin manages to duke out of the way, she tries again before twisting through and reversing it into a hammerlock of her own, Gavin immediately grabs at his shoulder before forcing himself to the ropes to force the break. Jordan holds it for a moment with a smirk before pushing off from Gavin and backing away and stretching her arms out confidently. The All Star turns and snaps at the referee that it was an illegal hold which gets a laugh from Jordan which caused Cookie to yell “Your face is illegal!” to a roar from the crowd. Gavin loosens up his arm a little and the pair begin to circle again, Cookie extends her arm wanting to be tagged in, Gavin agrees along with the SCW fans and points at Cookie. Jordan looks around and shrugs tagging Cookie who gets a roar from the crowd.

Sharper: “Gavin happy to take on Cookie instead of Jordan it would appear.”

Knots: “Cookie the less abled in the ring compared to Majors experience wise, but she can go like the best of them. We’ve seen it countless times, former TV Champion who defeated Regan Street, that is impressive.”

Cookie enters the ring and hops up and down excitedly, Gavin motioning for her to come forward and she goes to do just that. But Gavin tags Katie in instead to boo’s from the crowd. He shakes his head and exits to the Apron while Cookie pouts a little, Katies glares at him for a moment before entering the ring. Cookie rushes over and catches Katie with a right hand, she hits another before dragging her to the ropes and pitching her across the ring with an Irish Whip. Cookie doubles over to send Katie up and over but catches nothing but a boot to the chest. Cookie springs up and is taken down with a spinning wheel kick from the Goddess of Desire. Katie pulls Cookie up and drags her to her teams corner and begins to stomp away at the chest of Cookie before Gavin tags himself in and enters and immediately goes to work on Dreams.

Knots: “Gavin taking advantage there right as Katie got to work…”

Sharper: “She didn’t like that one bit.”

Gavin stomps away before pulling Cookie up and locking his arms around her and hits a Belly to Belly Suplex and covers Cookie.

1… KICK OUT BY DREAMS!!

Gavin slaps the mat in frustration melodramatically demanding the referee counts quicker. Cookie rolls away towards the ropes and starts to pull herself up. Gavin gets to his feet and waits before charging at Dreams to clothesline her up and over the tope rope but instead Cookie pulls down on the bottom rope, Gavin going up and over before falling to the outside and rolling into the barricade. Cookie now on her feet looks ready to do something big, she waits until Gavin is on his feet and runs at the ropes. On the return she looks for a suicide dive but gets caught with a stiff right hand which stops her in her tracks as she now hangs on the middle rope. Gavin leaps onto the apron before dropping Cookie into it with a Cutter. The crowd ooohs, Jordan winces and looks on with concern now that Gavin rolls Cookie into the ring and covers once again.

1…

2… NO! JORDAN BREAKS THE COUNT!!!

The crowd roars as its Jordan with a boot to the back of Gavin, he quickly rolls away as Katie holds her hand out and immediately Gavin tags her in. Cookie holds her head while Taylor exits to the ringside area. Katie rushes to Cookie and begins stomping at her while the official makes Jordan exit the ring. While distracted, Cookie is pushed against the ropes throat first with Katie forcing her down. TJ is shout all sorts of insults at Dreams who is more occupied with catching some air. The referee turns and notices and immediately starts to count.

4… Katie steps away walking to the corner where TJ now stands on the steps and dabbing at her brow with a handkerchief.

Sharper: “No respect for the rules as always. Katie trying to choke the life out of cookie.”

Knots: “To Katie, Cookie is beneath her in more ways than one. She points at Jordan and screams at Cookie to tag her in.”

Cookie coughs while holding her throat and goes to her teams corner and tagging in an eager Jordan Majors. Majors rushes over only to get a boot for her trouble, she gets up and is caught with a forearm shot and then another before sent across the ring with an Irish whip. Katie tries to hit The most Beautiful Superkick ever, but Majors baseball slides underneath it and pulls out Katies other leg out from under her, the goddess crashing face first into the canvas to a roar from the crowd! Katie holds her face before rolling away and getting to her feet. Jordan hits a chop to the chest, she hits another and follows up with a forearm shot of her own. Majors drags Katie to the ropes and and an Irish whip soon after sends Katie across the ring only to return to a near perfect dropkick. Jordan covers.

1…

2… NO GAVIN BREAKS UP THE COUNT!!

Sharper: “Gavin giving Jordan a taste of her own medicine to break up the pin fall.”

Knots: “If those two want to win this and blow the block wide open for Dark Fantasy and Frozen Hell, they need to be on the same page.”

Jordan rolls over holding the back of her head as Gavin heads back to his corner. Suddenly there is an array of boos from the crowd as the focus shifts from the ring to the stage where the SCW Interim World Champion, Bree Lancaster slowly walks out. The Championship resting on her shoulder on full display.

Sharper: “Bree out here now, scouting perhaps?”

Knots: “More than likely, she knows all too well what Jordan is capable of. We all remember the war with Sienna.”

Jordan is on her feet and notices Bree and walks to the ropes asking why she is out here, Gavin meanwhile re-enters the ring and grabs hold of Katies Leg and drags her to his teams corner and forces the tag. Gavin enters the ring and sprints to the ropes, Jordan now only noticing but it Is too little too late as Gavin charges at Jordan and takes her over the top rope with a running clothesline. She lands on the apron and falls down towards the aisle where Bree stands at the top of. Gavin once again hits the ropes as Jordan begins to get to her feet and he leaps over the top rope and hits a flip dive on Majors!

Sharper: “An All Star Flip Dive from Gavin Taylor on Jordan Majors and taking her down.”

Bree smirks while watching Gavin get to his feet and throws his arms in the air celebratory only to get a round of boos in response from the Ontario Crowd. He waves them off before turning to look at Bree and nods before stomping Jordan, he hits another stomp and pulls Jordan to her feet and runs her back first into the apron. Majors winces in pain and is turned around now where Gavin drives a knee into her lower back over and over again before rolling her back into the ring. 

Knots: “Gavin going for that lower back area.”

Jordan rolls further into the ring with Gavin giving Chase, Katie has her arm outstretched wanting a piece of Jordan herself. Gavin waves her off before dropping an elbow to the back of Jordan once again. He quickly gets up and leaps into the air and drives a knee into her back before applying a rear chin lock on Majors. She cries out in pain as he begins to pull back. Cookie watches on concerned and is reaching out for a tag, Jordan reaches out to her but there is still a space separating the best friends. Then begins the “Let’s go Jordan” “Psychonauts!” Chants. Jordan  starts to kick the canvas while trying to break the grip of Gavin which he turns into a fish hook now. The referee sees and immediately counts.

4… Gavin releases the hold, but only because Cookie enters the ring and hits a running boot to his face. He falls back holding his head while Cookie says something not fit for TV, but gets a roar from the SCW Crowd. Katie is reaching out for a tag but Gavin shakes his head. Cookie is forced back to her corner as the Jordan begins to get up, still holding her back Gavin leaps into the arm for a forearm smash, but Jordan side steps  causing Gavin to stumble, she then hits a side kick, then another as he drops to his knees, Jordan hits one more before tagging Cookie who vaults over the ropes and sprints across the rings. Jordan does the same and both women hit hip thrusts to the head of Gavin Taylor, he falls to the canvas with Cookie covers.

Sharper: “Gavin is OUT after that combination from Jordan and Cookie.”

Knots: “And likely the envy of most red blooded males in the world today.”

1…

2….

3? NO!! GAVIN THROWS HIS SHOULDER UP THANKS TO KATIE SCREAMING.

Sharper: “A high pitched scream snapping Gavin back from the brink. Bree unimpressed at that shriek.”

Bree can be seen scrunching her nose up a little and shakes her head. Cookie in the ring holds her head trying to protect from the harpy like shrill of the Goddess. Cookie gets up first and yells at Katie to stop Screaming! Katie glares at Cookie before turning her attention back to TJ and starts ranting at him. Cookie turns her attention to Gavin who she pulls up to his feet, Taylor raking her eyes though to boos from the crowd. The official warns Gavin but he brushes that off and clubs at her back, he hits another before sending Cookie across the ring and doubling over. Dreams runs back and vaults over Gavin and stops herself. He gets up and turns, Cookie connects with a European upper cut to Gavin, she hits another while Bree watches from the stage and Katie does from the corner. She then spins Taylor around and applies a waist lock and tries for a German Suplex, but Gavin manages to plant his feet and become dead weight, she tries again before clubbing his back loosening his footing and reapplies the waist lock and pushes him now into his corner, Katie hits a blind tag on the All Star while Cookie pulls him back out and rolls backwards with him, his shoulders down and Cookie now sitting on top for a pin.

1…

2…

Shaper: “Cookie with the roll up, but Katie got the blind tag.”

3!!

4!!! 

Katie immediately rushes into the ring as the fans continue to count, the official telling Cookie now he isn’t the legal man but it is too little too late as Katie charges across the ring and hits a pump kick to the face of Dreams. Cookie is down as Gavin rolls away to the apron holding the back of his neck. Steward pulls Cookie up and hits a slap to the face which sends her stumbling to the ropes and bouncing back into a running jumping knee smash which takes her down. Steward drops to the canvas and covers.

1…

2.. NO JORDAN BREAKS THE COUNT!

Knots: “Jordan with a boot to the back of Steward, the goddess NOT happy about that. TJ is Furious and Gavin looks like he’s pissed Katie tagged herself in!”

Jordan backs up while saying something to Steward which looks to infuriate her, she gets to her feet and stomps at Cookie, she stomps again before looking at Jordan intently before turning to the Stage where Bree stands holding the SCW World Championship. Gavin is arguing with TJ outside at ringside which catches Katies attention now and she walks over. Jordan reaches for a tag which Cookie manages to do, Majors helps her up and both rush across and hit clubbing blows to the back of Steward. The crowd roars as Cookie quickly Irish whips Katie into the ropes before lifting her up, Jordan leaps and hits a cutter.

Knots: “Major Dreams! The assisted cutter takes the goddess down a peg.”

Cookie stands guard as Jordan covers, Gavin turns and looks to climb into the ring but steps back drown and throws his arms up into the air.

1…

2…

3!!!

The Bell sounds and the crowd roars as Popstars by KD/A hits over the P.A System. Jordan is pulled up by Cookie and the two embrace in a hug. Bree watches from the stage and nods slowly. 

Phillips: “The winners of this match as a result of the pin fall… THE PSYCHONAUTS, COOKIE DREAMS AND JORDAN MAJORS!!!”

Sharper: “What a match, what a showing by these two teams. Cookie and Jordan once again showing together they are unstoppable right now.”

Knots: “You have to wonder what is going through the mind of Bree right now, she looks confident but there has to be that feeling at the back of her mind, that could be our next World Champion.”

The cameras shift back to the ring where Jordan turns to look at Bree on the stage, Cookie sees her too and quickly begins to run her hands across the waist of Jordan signalling that the World Title is changing places soon. Bree smirks before walking down to the ring now as the crowd buzzes. Cookie and Jordan back up a step as she now walks up the steps and enters the ring. Cookie whispers into the ear of Majors and she nods. Bree walking to the middle of the ring and raises the Interim World Championship. Jordan looking up at the belt. 

Sharper: “December 31st, 2020 the End of Year show. Jordan Majors will be challenging for the Interim World Championship.”

Knots: “And with that in the future, what about early next year?! The Psychonauts are just one match away from running the gamut and guaranteeing their place in the finals of the World Tag League!”

Sharper: “Everything certainly looks good for Jordan right now, but Bree Lancaster is looking to be the End of Year Party Pooper.”

Bree then brings it down and looks at Jordan, saying something to her. Jordan does the same when Cookie suddenly reaches into her pockets and throws glitter up into the air. Bree turns away as Jordan just chuckles. Cookie smiles and looks around. The crowd cheers. Bree looks down and turns and runs her hand on her before looking at the glitter on her. Bree then steps up and says something a bit more animated to Jordan. Jordan says something back. Bree and Jordan go face to face as Cookie backs up a bit. Bree and Jordan look at one another before then tapping her title. She backs up and exits the ring. Jordan watches her leave. Cookie turns to Jordan. Jordan just hugs her as Bree turns and heads to the back.

Knots: “Cookie just tried to make it more festive. Glitter makes everything better!”

Sharper: “Not for Bree and after her concerns earlier, that touched a nerve. Jordan having a blast. This is found money for her. But immediately, you saw the seriousness. For Bree, that World Title is everything.”

Knots: “Majors may be having fun but she knows what it counts for too.”

Sienna Swann steps out of her locker room, holding her phone as Sierra Swann is with her, along with Xiomara Diaz who has a bandage over her right eye. They start to walk off as Sienna turns to the camera.

Sienna: “Just found out Karina wants to talk…”

Sienna chuckles and heads off as Sierra and Xiomara follow.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann milking this for the spotlight. But she also knows this is going to cause everyone to scramble.”

Knots: “She’s enjoying this too much!”

Sienna smiles as she starts to text on her phone again as the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Owen Cruze grabbing his coat and then grabbing another and tossing it to Kelcey. Peyton grabs her coat too.

Peyton: “Do we even know?”

Kelcey: “We need to go fast and hope we can catch up.”

Owen: “Then let’s stop screwing around. We’ll text Aaron and he can join us after.”

Kelcey: “I’ll text Blake. He’s going to want to know.”

Peyton then heads out with Kelcey and Owen pulling out their phone as they leave the locker room too.

We cut to the ring to see Dean Black on the floor talking to Sasha in the corner. She nods and gets up and walks over to the middle of the ring where a pedestal with the SCW Television Championship stands.

Sharper: “Sasha just finding out about Wallace, Cruze and Rice leaving.”

Knots: “Clearly trying to keep an eye on a number of things.”

Sasha returns to the middle of the ring as Phillips hands her a microphone. She takes it.

Sasha: “Thank you everyone. Another raucous night here on Breakdown, the final Breakdown of 2020. And ladies and gentlemen, we have news to make right now. Last week, Asher Hayes said as much, but it is official. He has vacated the SCW Television Championship.”

The crowd boos a bit as Sasha looks around.

Sasha: “Now, we announced last Wednesday that tonight, I would explain what will happen regarding this title.”

Sasha pauses a moment.

Sasha: “So, on the first Breakdown of 2021, we will see four individuals compete to determine who will be the next Television Champion, representing a title that meet consistent challenges, one that focuses on the durability and resiliency of its competitors. And these four will engage in just that challenge when we will see two individuals meet on January 6, and the winners facing one another at Last Grasp of Reality to determine the next champion!”

The crowd applauds a bit.

Sasha: “So allow me to announce the four competitors who will compete in this mini-tournament.”

Sasha clears her throat.

Sasha: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason!”

The crowd cheers.

Sasha: “Tommy Valentine!”

The crowd boos loudly.

Sasha: “JaMarcus Avery!”

The crowd cheers and Sasha then looks down.

Sasha: “And Ricky James!”

The crowd boos. Sasha looks around.

Sasha: “We will post the brackets on supremecw.com and those four will compete on the first Breakdown of 2020. The winners, again, will face at Last Grasp of Reality. And we will have a new Television Champion. Thank you!”

“The Old Me” plays as Sasha turns and hands the microphone off to Jason Phillips.

Sharper: “Short and sweet. Obviously plenty on her mind, but four individuals. Four interesting choices.”

Knots: “Four people who have been demanding better or have been waiting for that moment to break out. And who knows – someone like Kelsai, if Jay has his head on right, and with Amy in her corner. This could be her chance. Tommy has had some great nights. Ricky James may be completely nuts, but he’s shown his talent and JaMarcus Avery wants that chance to break out! This is the opportunity to do just that! One night, two matches, winners go onto Last Grasp of Reality and could start 2021 with some SCW gold!”

Sasha exits the rig and starts to leave for the back. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Syren and then a shot of Aaron Blackbourne comes up on the screen before showing both.

Sharper: “Syren is going alone in this one.”

Knots: “Time to see how good she is.”

Sharper: “Will she focus? Will Blackbourne focus and end 2020 with a repeat of one of his biggest wins? We’ll find out, next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, Derek Adonis can be seen a bit disappointed in the back, leaning against a wall, looking down, his eyes closed and speaking to himself. Jessica Winters walks over to him and looks a bit confused.

Winters: “Derek?”

Adonis holds his hand out with one finger up. Adonis takes a moment and finishes and turns.

Adonis: “Yes, my sweet…lamb.”

Winters: “I’m a bit taken aback. You’re quite different than we’ve seen. You were tweeting out that you’ve found God.”

Adonis: “I have. I have turned my back on my past wickedness. And I looked up and found my calling. But it appears that I do not yet have enough thrust to my efforts here in SCW. I fell short. Finishing too early….and with no success.”

Adonis sighs.

Adonis: “And so I need to show my dedication. So on the End of the Year Special, a night that usually celebrates sin but also fresh starts…I will try and tip the balance. I will engage in the first ever KABLAM burning.”

Adonis nods.

Adonis: “That will show that I’ve turned over a new leaf.”

Adonis smiles and walks off as Jessica looks a bit confused.

Syren vs. Aaron Blackbourne

The camera cuts to the crowd where we see a group of red-shirted security walking in through one of the ground-level entrances. They line up in front of the fans for a moment and seem to be holding them back. Then 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 we cut to the hallways in the back, where the cameras watch as Syren rounds a corner on her way to the ring. She’s got her hands taped, appears to be in her ring gear with her ring jacket on, but doesn’t even acknowledge the camera. Behind her are notably CHBK and Alexander Crowe, and we can see Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews in the background as well. The crowd boos as this footage is shown on the screens. As the lights come back up in the arena, we see Syren walking through the doorway that security entered through moments earlier. She stands in the aisleway for a moment before turning her back to the camera. On the back of her jacket we see the Infamous skull logo.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Syren spins back around again before looking over her shoulder. From behind her we see the rest of Infamous also walking through the doorway, led by CHBK. Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews also have similar jackets to Syren, with Christy’s being red in design and with a hood pulled up over her head. Syren leads the pack to the guard rail with the security walking alongside them, holding back any fans from getting too close.

Phillips: “Introducing, representing Infamous and being accompanied by Alexander Crowe, Ravyn Taylor, Christy Matthews, Christopher Richter and SCW Hall of Famer CHBK, hailing from Los Angeles, California, and weighing one hundred and twenty nine pounds, she is a seven-time SCW World Champion, she is ‘The Alpha Female’, this is SYREN!”

Syren smirks as she’s introduced. Once they get to the guard rail Syren speaks with CHBK and Alexander Crowe a moment, before jumping over the barricade, the rest of Infamous staying behind. Syren goes up the ring steps, steps between the ropes then climbs the turnbuckles and points to herself confidently, shouting down at those at ringside as they jeer her. She takes her jacket off and tosses it aside as she adjusts the skull-logo armband on her arm, pointing it out to the camera with a grin on her face and tapping it with two fingers. We then see Infamous watch for a few seconds before retreating.

Sharper: “Syren keeping her word from a few days ago to Aaron Blackbourne, that this would be a one on one match, no Infamous in her corner.”

Knots: “Just cause you don't see Infamous at ringside doesn't mean they can't get involved. They're tricksey!”

Sharper: “Maybe, but Syren has been trying to prove herself as a contender and using tricks won't do that. I think I believe her, that this won't become a cluster.”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “My Name” by From Ashes To New begins, the lyrics starting about eight seconds into the song. White lights slowly begin to envelop the stage as we see that smoke has also begun to engulf it. The Tron also comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations, as well as clips of his various artistic endeavors including writing, painting, drawing and digital art. During this, we see a figure standing in the smoke, but that and the lighting make it impossible to tell who the silhouette belongs to. When the song hits the chorus, pyro suddenly goes off on the sides of the stage in sync with the silhouette throwing his arms in the familiar raised and outstretched pose, the smoke clearing almost as if on command to reveal the creative soul himself, causing the fans erupt into cheers.

Phillips: “And her opponent.... from Seattle, Washington, he is Aarom Blackbourne!”

The lights start to come back on, although they're both dimmed and rotating between every color in the spectrum to the beat of the song, 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, the lights going out again as white spotlights suddenly come on and converge upon him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment, also letting the lyrics of the song serve as a reminder of exactly who he is and why he does this. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring as the lights completely return to normal, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead.

Sharper: “Blackbourne coming to the ring alone tonight, no Kelcey Wallace, no Perfect Pack allies.”

Knots: “Kelcey is likely otherwise occupied, she has a lot to worry about, and Aaron has proven he can handle himself.”

The bell rings. Syren runs at Aaron and immediately knocks him down with a clothesline. Aaron pops right back up as Syren turns around. Aaron meets her with a discus elbow. Syren turns away and goes to the ropes, holding her face. Aaron follows and grabs her arm to send her across, but Syren counters and sends him instead. On the return Syren goes for a dropkick but Aaron evades. Syren hits the mat, and the crowd oohs. Aaron reaches down to grab her but Syren rolls away and slides out of the ring. The crowd boos as the official starts to count. (1)

Sharper: “Syren taking a break rather early.”

Knots: “She wasn't ready!”

Aaron stands in the middle of the ring with his hands on his hips, waiting. (2) Syren walks around the ring, shaking her head. (3) Syren looks up towards the ramp, as if looking for someone. Aaron starts to pace in the ring.

Sharper: “Looks like Syren is regretting her own deal making this one on one with no one at ringside.”

Knots: “She's just catching her breath!”

Syren leans on the apron and looks up at Aaron. (4) Aaron gestures for her to get back in, even stepping back away from the ropes. (5) Syren hops up on the apron, and steps through cautiously. The official stops the count. The crowd murmurs. Syren paces around Aaron a bit, as he turns following her, keeping a fighting stance. All of a sudden, Syren runs and jumps and takes him down with a hurricanrana! The crowd roars then boos as Syren makes a cover.

1!

Aaron kicks out. Syren hops up. Aaron gets up right behind her. Syren turns and Aaron nails her with an uppercut, followed by a forearm strike. Syren staggers on her feet. Aaron runs the ropes and takes Syren down with a DDT. He makes a cover.

1!

2!

Syren kicks out! She then immediately rolls out of the ring again. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Oh here we go again, is this the game she's gonna play?”

Knots: “It's actually smart, forcing these breaks takes away whatever momentum Aaron Blackbourne had!”

The official shakes his head and starts counting again. (1) Syren shakes her head clear from the DDT, leaning on the apron. (2) Aaron is more restless this time, already pacing the ring as Syren walks around to near the steps. (3) Aaron backs away from where Syren is giving her plenty of room to enter. Syren puts one foot on the bottom ring step. (4) Aaron assumes a fighting stance, and Syren smirks while shaking her head, putting her foot down. (5)

Aaron: “Come on! I thought you wanted a fight!”

Syren just keep smirking. She goes to the side of the ring and gets up on the apron, still outside the ropes. (6) Aaron approaches her as if to grab her and pull her in, but Syren suddenly slingshots herself over the top rope and takes Aaron down with leg lariat! The crowd roars and boos. Syren gets up and pulls Aaron to the middle of the ring, before hitting a knee drop. She then turns and hits a standing moonsault. She makes a cover.

1!

2!

Aaron gets his shoulder up. Syren pulls Aaron up and spins him around, throwing him into a corner. She runs behind him, looking to shoulder tackle him, but Aaron gets his foot up, booting Syren in the stomach. She doubles over in pain, holding her stomach. Aaron comes out of the corner and grabs her, lifting her up for the Pull the Trigger. The crowd roars. Aaron makes a cover.

1!

2!

Syren kicks out!

Sharper: “First two count on Syren of the bout and Aaron Blackbourne finally getting some real momentum behind him here.”

Knots: “Not for long, look at Syren! Outside again!”

Syren rolls and slides out of the ring a third time, holding her head. The crowd boos as the official starts to count. (1) Syren goes to the barricade and leans on it, shaking her head. Aaron leans over the ropes, glaring and yelling at her, but we can't hear what he's saying. (2) Syren gets up and turns around smirking. Aaron keeps yelling. (3) Syren goes to the apron, placing both hands on it, but makes no move to get back in. (4) Aaron shakes his head, then runs and hits a baseball slide into Syren's chest! The crow roars. Syren hits the mat on her back. Aaron slides out and pulls her up. (5) He whips her around, hitting her into the apron. Syren grabs at her back. (6) Aaron then picks her up and slides her back into the ring, then slides in behind her. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Blackbourne had enough of Syren's time-outs and stuffed her back into the ring!”

Knots: “And now Syren is pissed!”

Both get to their feet at the same time. Syren turns, glaring. Aaron nails her with a forearm, then goes for another. Syren blocks it and grabs Aaron's arm, sending him across the ring. On the return she nails him with the Face Lift. She makes a cover.

1!

2!

Aaron kicks out! Syren yells in frustration as Aaron turns over. He starts to get up as Syren gets up. She pulls him all the way up, but he shoves her off before she can make a move. Aaron then grabs her and spins her around and nails a snap suplex. He then goes to the top rope and launches, hitting Painted Sky! The crowd roars as he makes a cover.

1!

2!

Syren kicks out! The crow boos.

Sharper: “A pair of near-falls there and we have ourselves a bout!”

Knots: “Both competitors showing they came to fight!”

Sharper: “You mean after Aaron forced Syren to stay in the damn ring?”

Knots: “She was finally ready!”

Aaron gets up and pulls Syren up. They trade strikes in the middle of the ring. The crowd roars as Aaron gets the advantage, backing Syren into a corner. Aaron steps back and goes for a dropkick into the corner, but Syren moves at the last second! Aaron his the turnbuckles with his feet, getting tangled in the ropes.

Knots: “Creative Process aborted!”

Sharper: “And Blackbourne is in a bad way here. Syren smells blood.”

Syren smirks as she goes to Aaron, and hits a shoot kick into his ribs. Aaron yells in pain as he struggles to get his legs free from the ropes. The official makes Syren back away, and Aaron gets free. He gets to his feet and turns around. Syren grabs him and sends him across into the ropes. Aaron though grabs the top rope stopping himself from bouncing off. He then turns and runs and aims for the Unchained Creativity.... but Syren gets a boot up, blocking it with a kick to the stomach, before grabbing Aaron and planting him with the Total Makeover! The crowd boos as Syren rolls him over and makes a cover, hooking a leg.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings.

Phillips: “Here is your winner by pinfall.... Syren!”

Syren gets to her feet and the official raises her arm. We see Infamous appear at the top of the stage, all smirks and smug applause. Aaron stirs as the official then goes to check on him.

Sharper: “After not looking like she wanted to fight, Syren overcame Aaron's momentum, evading the Unchained Creativity and turning it into a Total Makeover.”

Knots: “And just that quick it was over! Syren again proving that she can win any time she wants, when she wants, on her terms!”

Aaron sits up and looks up as Syren stands on the second rope smiling at the crowd. They boo as she hops down and goes up the ramp to join the rest of Infamous.

COMMERCIALS

The feedback over the PA system, as if a jack is plugged into an amplifier rips through the arena. While the noise attracts the attention of the crowd, spotlights, one after another shine down onto the stage. The familiar chords of "The Fade to Black" crackles on the sound system as smoke begins to hover on the stage. A shadow stands behind an illuminated curtain, by this point the crowd already caught up in a frenzy. The song's interlude cuts shorts as the lyrics begin:

“Life it seems, will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters no one else

I have lost the will to live

Simply nothing more to give

There is nothing more for me

Need the end to set me free”

As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander bursts out behind the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the ramp, holding the SCW United States Championship in his right hand. Boos start to hail down on him, but there are some cheers beneath. Behind him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As if she doesn't exist, he stares down at the ring, regardless if occupied or vacant. A serious glare is painted across his weathered face. He starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to stare at the ring.

Sharper: “Last week, Xander Valentine came to the ring to confront Frozen Hell. It ended with an attempted attack. The Jackass and Big Ass Connection tried to set up an attack, but instead, Frozen Hell stood tall.”

Knots: “Not just that, Selena was ready to keep going. Both Frost and Street have had it with him!”

Xander reaches the ring and pulls himself onto the apron. He steps into the ring. Artemis steps up the steel steps and into the ring. Xander hands her the US Championship before turning back and going over to the corner and demands a microphone. Phillips hands him one. Xander takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring as the music fades out. The crowd boos seeing him.

Xander: “You can boo all you want later. There are more important things than what you have to say.”

The crowd boos loudly.

Xander: “Last Wednesday, it seems like we found out that Selena Frost and Regan Street still have plenty in the tank, but that more left is not a sign of something honourable, but perhaps something indicative of stupidity.”

Xander scoffs.

Xander: “And we already know on January 24, I will face Regan Street and should I still hold this US Championship, this title will be on the line. But I don’t think I need to say much more than to showcase my track record. At Rise to Greatness, an army could not hold me back. At Apocalypse, Tommy Valentine could not stop me. And most recently, the greats of the present and the supposed great of the future…Selena Frost and Peyton Rice respectively…they could not even dent my armour…”

Sharper: “I would beg to differ. Xander’s ribs looked quite tender after Last Laugh!”

Knots: “So why did he say he respected Peyton!”

Xander looks around.

Xander: “The fact is that right now, I am the dominant force. And Regan, you have wanted this match for months. Well, you will get it, but do you realize what you are signing up for? I feel as good as I have since the days where I destroyed former greats…like CHBK, like Christian Savior, like Jason Wheeler…You are not them.”

The crowd boos. Xander looks down.

Xander: “And even last week, it required both of you to send me out of this ring.”

Xander points to the mat.

Xander: “Both members of Frozen Hell…the team that will not die. The team that should die. The one that has defined both, for better for worse. An opportunity to be truly dominant, Regan. I offered you that. You, your husband, Selena, all stopped it. And now, Selena…she’s wearing down. What’s left? What other failures can she bring. You couldn’t help her keep her title, Regan. You let her down…funny enough, she then let you down at Last Laugh. Whereas I am just getting stronger…can you two even stop me? And you expect to do it yourself-“

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. Xander turns as Selena Frost steps out from the back, holding a microphone.

Selena: “Cut the music.”

Selena waits as the music fades out. We then see Regan Street and Mikaela Street run out from the back.

Selena: “I’ve had it with this. Claiming you’ll split us up. Claiming you respect some, not others. Getting involved and trying to get in our affairs. Bigger and better have tried to stop me, and stop Regan, and they have failed. But most of all, I am sick of hearing about your dominance!”

The crowd roars.

Xander: “Then prove me wrong Selena! Care not to wait until Regan fails to be proven wrong? Maybe I can make it a clean sweep within a month.”

Selena goes to respond and Regan talks to her. Selena turns to her, listening to her before saying something back.

Xander: “Listen to Regan. No need for you to feed yourself to my dominance. I defeated you in October. I am happy to move on!”

Selena turns from Regan and to the ring.

Selena: “I damn sure am not!”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “Last week, I was ready to keep the fight going. I know Regan is happy to fight, after everything, so let’s stop the dancing around the obvious. All of this needs to end with not just Regan and I coming together, but with all three of us!”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “End of the Year Special is a night special to both of us right. I remember sitting at home when you took CHBK and drove him into the mat with the Martial Bane. I also remember it as the night I introduced myself to the SCW. So let’s make it extra special for both of us. I’ve heard you say over and over how you could take both of us on. So Xander, put up or shut up! Let’s do it. End of the Year Special, Frozen Hell against Xander Valentine!”

The crowd roars. Xander just looks out as Regan turns to Selena. Selena just nods. Regan nods back and looks out at Xander.

Xander: “You want to make it so it’s obvious I own you two.”

Selena: “Look at it this way, when we kick your ass on New Year’s Eve, you can hope you can save face at Last Grasp of Reality. Name makes sense because there’s no way Regan’s letting you walk out with another win over her.”

Xander looks out, not responding immediately as Selena looks at the ring.

Selena: “I’m sick of the dominance crap. You’re so dominant. You no longer respect us. We’re not as good as the great Xander Valentine, then how about you prove it?”

Xander: “See I look at this a different way. I’m the one who was able to adapt, to evolve. This sisterhood that apparently exists…with all of the twists and turns, you want me at End of the Year Special. I know you both really want this…I guess Regan wants to lose more than once. She can end 2020 and start 2021 the same way. All thanks to you Selena, but I want something more! So I’ll agree on one condition.”

Selena: “Name it!”

Xander: “You lose, the Tag League is it. Frozen Hell is done! And we can see how the two of you really stand alone. Maybe then you’ll evolve to become worthy of my mantle!”

The crowd boos. Regan turns to Selena and Selena stops and then turns to Regan.

Xander: “What? Where’s the confidence?! That’s right…you know the truth. The truth is that I’ve beaten both of you in this ring and there was nothing EITHER of you could do to stop it. You’re not sure if together you could. Maybe that just makes clear that at Last Grasp of Reality, Regan Street was never going to come for a match…she was going to come for a fight. Then you may have a chance.”

Regan grabs the microphone.

Regan: “Damn right I’m coming for a fight!”

The crowd roars. Selena takes the microphone back.

Selena: “Fine…you want it. Done. And then YOU can end 2020 on your back, looking up at the lights, and then START 2021 with you losing the US Title to Regan and with all thoughts of your dominance a distant memory! BELIEVE IT!”

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “My God! And if it’s signed, a huge handicap match at End of the Year Special. Frozen Hell vs. Xander Valentine! If Xander wins…Frozen Hell is no more after the Tag League!”

Knots: “Is that really worth it?”

Sharper: “Selena and Regan standing up together. Xander Valentine could make as clear a statement of his dominance here against two of the best!”

Knots: “But at the cost of Frozen Hell? And if they lose, Regan will have to reload for the US Title match at Last Grasp of Reality!”

“Hell Has Frozen Over” by The Megas and Entertainment System plays. Selena turns to Regan as Regan says something to her before joining Mikaela in heading to the back. Xander Valentine stoically watches them, joined by Artemis.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Kandis and Tommy Valentine standing next to Jessica Winters in the SCW interview area.

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown and I am with the team of the Jackass and Big Ass Connection, Kandis and Tommy Valentine and-“

Kandis steps up.

Kandis: “Before you say anything because we know you probably are just doing this to fill time. The Connection is eliminated in the Tag League and we didn’t even get to put Frozen Hell in their place, but hot damn are we cheering for Xander at the End of the Year Special. Won’t cheer for him any other time and hope the son of a bitch has a hard fall some day!”

Kandis pauses for a moment.

Kandis:” I hope you realize that I am here. Tommy is here. But Peyton Rice had to run off and play hero because of course, she does. Still looking for something to get her in the limelight. She’s got the interview time. She’s got the opportunities. And I’m right here. That’s fine…because maybe she’ll get her ass kicked and we can start to move away from not just another pretty face and focus on this ass and the woman who its attached to. Because I’m going places!”

Tommy nods.

Tommy: “Exactly. And David…I see you’re back. You still owe me a fight one way or another. So don’t duck me for too long. Because we never got to finish what we started. And I plan to on my terms sooner rather than later.”

Tommy looks at the camera.

Winters: “Thank you for your time. Back to ringside.”

Dylan Howell & Konrad Raab vs. Suited & Booted (Chris Cannon & Lucas Knight)

Tag League

SCW World Tag Team Championship

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a twenty minute time limit, is a match in the SCW Tag League and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship!”

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P. plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain with Dylan Howell coming out behind him. Konrad's wearing his red, green and blue mask along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iced Rainbow on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right shoulder, Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back, ice wolf on his left chest and ice bear on his right chest. Dylan Howell steps forward, wearing his ring gear as he looks around.

Phillips: “Introducing first, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Iced Rainbow, Konrad Raab! And his partner, from Malibu Beach, California, he is Dylan Howell!”

They both begin to make their way down the ramp.

Sharper: "Raab and Howell, fresh off their loss against Dark Fantasy just days ago."

Knots: "They're both still trying to figure out how to run a bit smoother as a team, and of course they were against one of the most decorated teams in SCW history. That being said, I think everyone expected a bit more from them last Wednesday. As a team, they both had their moments, but there were times where they were totally outclassed by Dark Fantasy."

Sharper: "It's possible that Minerva is still weighing heavily on the mind of Konrad Raab. We've seen it the last several weeks, Minerva has a knack of getting in the heads of others, but she's seemed to find herself a cozy little corner in the mind of Raab specifically."

Raab ignores the fans due to his focus on wanting to fight in the ring. He goes up the stairs, along with Dylan Howell before going in-between the ropes before sitting down in the corner of the ring with the crowd cheering for him, having a nasty look in his eyes, while Dylan Howell raises his hands in the middle of the ring, before patting Konrad's shoulder. Dylan walks around the ring, waiting for the match to start.

Knots: "Now, though, a team who hasn't been having even a hint of trouble lately."

Out go the lights with a flick of a switch causing the arena to buzz with excitement, all eyes shift from the ring to the entrance way when the opening guitar from "Shoot to Thrill" by AC/DC hits over the P.A. System and when the drums kick in after that, the lights surrounding the arena stage begin to blink on and off, then and only then when the lyrics kick into full gear the the lights come on to reveal Chris Cannon and Lucas Knight standing side to side at an angle, both men wearing three piece suits. They both carry their SCW World Tag Team Championship belts with pride and class.

Phillips: “And their opponents, hailing from London, England, they weighed in tonight at a combined weight of four-hundred and sixty-five pounds. Your SCW World Tag Team Champions, Lucas Knight and Chris Cannon, they are Suited and Booted!"

Sharper: "Like you said, Jon, these two have been on quite the roll. They've finally started to put it all together and now they have some tag team gold as a reward for the hard work they've been putting in."

Knots: "You said it yourself at Last Laugh, that was an upset! The stakes were high and we see how these two responded, taking the belts off of Frozen Hell in a great match."

Both men smirk as the crowd roars, Cannon and Knight look to the other and nod before walking down towards the ring now loosening their ties. Once at ringside they pull the ties down and remove their jackets before walking around the ring towards the timekeeping area. Once there they hand their jackets to the team at ringside before beginning to roll up their sleeves. Looking at each other they nod and slide into the ring and walk over to a respective corner to climb and look out at the crowd. Both men drop down and hand off the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts to the referee. The referee holds them up as the SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. The crowd roars as both Lucas and Chris head to the corner opposite of Raab and Howell to speak tactics. The bell rings as Raab and Lucas exit the ring, leaving Howell and Chris.

Sharper: "Tag League title match underway now, with Dylan Howell and Chris Cannon to start us off."

Howell and Chris circle each other briefly before locking up in the middle of the ring. They tussle for a bit before Chris gets loose and drills Howell with a stiff European uppercut. Howell stumbles back and lands on the ropes, leaning back while holding his jaw and staring at Chris.

Knots: “Think that uppercut was extra European!”

Sharper: “Cannon, of course, an excellent brawler, real old school. Howell’s going to have to think of a way to get around him. He doesn’t want to go one-on-one with him in a brawl.”

Howell bounces off the ropes and grapples Chris, tangling up again. Once again, Chris gets loose, this time going for a discus clothesline. Howell manages to duck it and slips behind Chris. He kicks Chris in the back of the knee and Chris buckles a bit before Howell uses his other leg to clip him in the opposite leg. Chris drops to a knee and Howell leaps up before dropping Chris with a standing enzuigiri. The crowd ohs as Howell quickly makes the cover.

1!

Chris easily gets a shoulder up, pushing Howell off and rolling over. Howell springs up and jumps towards Chris, dropping down a knee to the back of his head. Chris rolls around while holding the back of his head, but Howell grabs him and covers again.

1!

2!

Chris kicks out just after two.

Sharper: “Howell, all over Cannon here.”

They both get up to their feet quickly and Howell drops Chris back down with a snapmare, following it up with a quick kick to the spine. Chris winces in pain while arching his back. Howell runs in front of him and bounces off the ropes. He jumps up for a short dropkick, but Chris ducks it. Howell hits the mat and Chris scrambles to his feet, quickly grabbing Howell and locking in a standing front guillotine. Howell charges forward and pushes Chris into the corner, but Lucas is there with the tag as Chris keeps the hold locked in.

Sharper: “Knight with the quick tag, coming in now.”

Chris keeps the hold on as Lucas measures up Howell before drilling his knee into his side. He does it again as the referee begins the count.

1!

2!

3!

After another knee strike, Chris releases the hold and slips through the ropes, back onto the apron as Lucas takes over. Lucas grabs Howell and hits him with a European uppercut before laying him against the ropes. He whips him across and steps towards the middle of the ring, lying in wait. Howell bounces back and Lucas catches him, throwing him up into the air, looking for Union Jack. Howell, however, stays straight while in the air and takes down Lucas with a hurricanrana on his way down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell with an innovative counter, taking Knight down!”

Knots: “After the tag, I thought maybe they were going to halt Howell’s momentum, but look at that. Howell, back on top.”

Lucas rolls away and pulls himself up, but finds himself in the corner with Raab. Howell runs forward and leaps up before driving a forearm into the head of Lucas. Lucas bounces out of the corner, but Howell grabs him. He pushes him against the ropes and throws him to the other side, looking to rush him for another attack. He’s stopped in his tracks though as Raab reaches out and tags him on the back. Howell gets distracted by the surprise tag and Lucas uses the split second distraction to nail Howell with a running lariat, sending him flying through the ropes and outside of the ring from the force.

Sharper: “Oh, and Raab must have seen something there, with that blind tag, but it cost his partner.”

Knots: “Lucas almost took his head off!”

Raab enters the ring and runs at Lucas. Lucas catches him and throws him up. Raab flails in the air as he falls down, right into a sick European uppercut.

Sharper: “And this time, Lucas hits the Union Jack!”

The crowd ohs as Lucas goes for the cover.

1!

Raab kicks out just before the two. Lucas gets up, bringing Raab with him. He sets Raab up in his own corner and lays in a flurry of lariats into the corner. The referee begins the count as Raab continues to take the stiff blows.

1!

Lucas relents and backs up into the middle of the ring. Just then, Howell finally gets up and returns to the apron. He can be seen talking to Raab.

Sharper: “Raab and Howell having a chat now, possibly about that earlier blind tag.”

Knots: “Here’s the thing. Howell has talked to Raab about his passivity, so Raab has something to prove here. He’s trying to be more aggressive, but there is such a thing as being too aggressive. He wanted in, bad. But the blind tag stopped their momentum.”

Sharper: “You got to feel for Raab here. He’s been having a rough go of it as of late, but I’m confident he’ll get through it.”

Raab takes a moment to compose himself and heads towards Lucas. Lucas goes for a quick surprise dropkick, but Raab slaps him away. As Lucas gets up, Raab runs forward and hooks his head on the way, slamming Lucas down with a running bulldog. Raab gets to his feet as quickly as he can and manages to get up before Lucas. Raab drops back down with an elbow drop on Lucas. The crowd roars as Raab gets back up.

Sharper: “After that talk with Howell, Raab is rallying now!”

Lucas gets to his feet and gets hit with a right hand. He fights back with a spinning backhand, but Raab ducks it before immediately popping back up with a straight jab. He lays in a series of boxing punches to Lucas, all over his torso. Raab runs back towards the ropes as Lucas holds his ribs. He bounces off and plants Lucas with a spear. The crowd roars. Raab hooks the leg.

Lucas kicks out shortly after two. Raab stays on him, shifting around and locking Lucas in a headlock. The two make their way to their feet with the headlock by Raab still locked in. Lucas throws his elbow back, catching Raab in the gut, but Raab keeps the lock on. After a few more elbows, the headlock is loosened. Lucas throws Raab forward and into the corner. Lucas runs forward and goes for another lariat in the corner, but Raab slips out of the way at the last second. He leaps forward and hits Lucas with a splash to the back. The crowd cheers as Raab turns him around and throws him to the opposite corner, following him and hitting another splash. Raab whips Lucas into the corner with Howell and hits him with yet another splash. Raab whips Lucas once again, this time into the corner with Chris. Raab rushes the corner and leaps up for a final splash, but Chris jumps up from the apron and decks him with a right. The crowd ohs as Raab falls down to the mat and Chris makes the tag to Lucas.

Sharper: “Cannon, catching Raab in the air with a vicious right.”

Knots: “And Raab was looking to hit that splash in all four corners, a man on fire, but he didn’t account for Cannon in the corner!”

Sharper: “Again, his aggressiveness coming into play there. Might have been better to tag Howell in.”

Knots: “Going for it now, at least.”

Raab quickly crawls towards Raab as Chris hops into the ring. He runs at Raab and tries to stop the tag, but Raab jumps forward and tags Howell in. Howell slingshots himself into the ring using the ropes and takes Chris down with a flying forearm. The crowd roars as he jumps back up to his feet.

Sharper: “A beautiful slingshot forearm from Howell, picking up where he left off!”

Still in the ring, Lucas runs towards Howell and leaps up, dropping back down with a leg lariat, driving Howell into the mat. As soon as Lucas gets up, Raab tackles him down with a press, laying in some rights after the takedown.

Sharper: “Raab and Knight, going at it!”

Knots: “Neither man is legal. Referee is losing control here.”

Sharper: “Raab and Howell are the first team to challenge for the tag titles twice here in the Tag League and Raab doesn’t want to let that opportunity go to waste again!”

Raab continues to lay in shots, but Chris gets up and hits him with a running dropkick, sending him flying off of Lucas. Chris leans down and helps Lucas back up. They turn around to see Howell suddenly on the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Oh, and Howell! He’s up top!”

Howell leaps off, going for a diving crossbody to take both men out. He’s caught, however. Lucas calls something out to Chris, who responds by lifting Howell up and setting him up on the shoulders of Lucas.

Knots: “But they caught him, and now setting him up for something!”

Sharper: “Raab’s down!”

After some maneuvering, Lucas manages to get Howell in an electric chair position while Chris heads for the top turnbuckle. Howell tries to lay in some right hands onto Lucas, but Lucas takes the blows while continuing to hold Howell steady.

Knots: “Suited and Booted looking for Oxfords Not Brogues. Possibly seconds away from their first successful title defence!”

Suddenly, Raab slides forward, taking Lucas down with a chop block. He falls back, basically taking Howell down with an electric chair drop. Chris steadies himself on the top rope and looks to take down Raab, but Raab instead stays on the ground and grapples Lucas while laying in some strikes. The two tussle around the ring, eventually rolling outside of the ring and down onto the mats.

Sharper: “All hell has broken loose here, but Raab and Lucas are out while the two legal men remain in the ring!”

Knots: “Cannon, just stalking Howell now. Probably looking for that diving leg drop.”

Chris remains on the top rope while Howell begins to stir. Howell turns and Chris goes for the flying leg drop takedown, but Howell just jolts forward to dodge it, forcing Chris to land behind him. Chris adjusts himself before landing and ends up safely rolling to the corner with no damage done. Howell runs forward and goes for a diving forearm, but Chris ducks it and runs through, barreling towards the ropes. He bounces off with great force as Howell gets back to his feet. Howell turns around and is immediately impaled by a C4 out of nowhere. The crowd roars. Lucas and Raab can be seen on the outside, still brawling on the protective mats.

Sharper: “C4 from Cannon!”

Knots: “And just like that, that quickly, Cannon puts this one away!”

Howell clutches his ribs while Cannon lies back on him, reaching back to hook the leg.

1!

3!

The bell sounds. The crowd gives a mixed reaction but mostly cheers as “Shoot to Thrill” plays.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, and STILL SCW World Tag Team Champions, Lucas Knight and Chris Cannon, Suited and Booted!”

Howell rolls out of the ring and crashes to the floor while still holding his ribs. Raab finally lets up after realizing the match is over, letting Lucas go before crawling towards Howell. Lucas slides into the ring and meets Chris in the middle. The referee hands them both the belts before raising their hands into the air. They both smirk while looking out into the crowd.

Sharper: “Suited and Booted successfully defend their titles and continue to show how much they’ve grown as a team in a short amount of time.”

Knots: “Meanwhile, Raab and Howell put up one hell of a fight. Looked like it could go either way for the majority of that match.”

Sharper: “Raab’s aggressiveness may have gotten them into a bit of trouble a couple times. We’ll see if they can address that issue.”

Raab and Howell look into the ring with looks of frustration at Lucas and Chris, who continue to celebrate. They go to opposite corners and hold their belts up high to the roaring crowd.

Backstage, we see Jaina Lancaster running her hand through her hair as she is on the phone.

Jaina: “You sure…”

She listens, intrigued by what she’s hearing.

Jaina: “So she wants people there? Wants SCW cameras?”

Jaina listens for a moment.

Jaina: “I’ll see what I can do.”

Jaina hangs up and turns to the cameraman. We then notice Jaxson Sullivan walking down the hallway as Jaina walks over to the cameraman.

Jaina: “Apparently they’re meeting at some diner on Lakeshore in Bronte. I’m going to see if we can get it figured out. They want SCW cameras for this. Guess maybe a scoop?”

Jaina sighs. Jaxson stops, hearing this.

Jaina: “All of this…I’ll see what they say.”

Jaina walks off camera as Jaxson turns and walks in the opposite direction.

Asher Hayes vs. Glory Braddock

No Holds Barred, No Countouts

SCW Adrenaline Championship

The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Awake" by Godsmack echo throughout the arena. At the 26 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the stage, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses.

“Wait another minute
Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me
I'm alive and still kickin'
What you see I can't see and maybe
You'll think before you speak”

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with no holds barred, and has a thirty minute time limit for the SCW Adrenaline Championship! First, the challenger, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Asher Hayes!”

He makes his way down the ramp as the reaction of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, slinging the jacket off his shoulders, simply looking at the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side.

“I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you...”

He stands, once again, on the top rope. He tosses his shades out to the crowd, as he looks toward the ceiling, before dropping down, removing his jacket and handing it to the ref before leaning into the corner, waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “We know someone is going to walk out a winner in this one. That’s for certain. Adrenaline Championship matches already have no count outs, but we have added no disqualifications.”

Knots: “But is that going to be good or bad? We know Chad Evans made threats on Wednesday. Shilo Valiant probably is somewhere around here.”

Sharper: “Asher and Glory both have to focus on the ring though, as best as they can. And if they have to defend themselves from someone else, they can use whatever they want to do it and the match continues.”

The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system...

Phillips: “His opponent, from London, England, the SCW Adrenaline Champion, she is The British Bombshell, Glory Braddock!”

Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. The SCW Adrenaline Championship is around her waist. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp.

It's burning down, it's burning high
when ashes fall the legends rise
We burned it out oh my oh why
When ashes fall the legends rise

Throat is dry, my vision's fading
I'm paralyzed and left here waiting
Taking time just one step forward
Won't lose my mind, I'm here to stay

The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly as she hands the title to the official. The official holds it over his head. The crowd roars as the SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock, the reigning Adrenaline Champion!”

Knots: “Hoping to still be that after tonight. Asher hoping to hold it for the third time after tonight.”

Sharper: “And Glory, remember, last time these two faced, Glory nearly won. Tommy Valentine stopped that. Hence the added stipulations here.”

The bell sounds and with it crowd buzzes with excitement, Asher Hayes standing in one corner and Glory Braddock in the opposite. The tension you could cut with a knife as both now slowly walk out of their respective corners. Glory begins to jaw jack a little with Asher who motions that she talks to much with his hand. She agrees and right hands Asher, she hits another and goes for one more strike but the former TV Champion blocks it before sending Glory across the ring with an Irish whip. Hayes doubles over for a back body drop but Glory leap frogs over him and runs to the other side of the ring, as she returns, Asher drops to the canvas and Glory steps over and hits the opposite ring ropes once more. She returns one final time before Asher leaps into the air and hits a drop kick taking the Adrenaline Champion off her feet, she immediately rolls towards the ropes holding her face while Asher gets back to his feet and smirks.

Sharper: “Interesting start, both showing off their speed right off the bat. Asher the quicker of the too so far.”

Knots: “Surprising given his back trouble in the past, but we’ll see how that fairs further into this match.”

Glory rubs her jaw and nods before getting to her feet, the crowd cheering both superstars as the pace quickens with Asher and Glory now circling each other. Asher is the one to strike first with a lunge, Glory however not one to give in gives as good as she gets, however Asher manages to power over her and push Glory to a corner. Glory leans into the ropes a little and Asher immediately breaks the hold and backs up a step, but then quickly lunges at Glory for a clothesline in the corner. The Adrenaline Champion however ducks under, Asher catching nothing but turnbuckle and turning around into a elbow to the face. Glory hits another elbow to Asher’s face before sending him across the ring to the opposite corner with an Irish whip. He hits with impact and winces a little before charging back at Glory for another clothesline, Braddock falls back showing off her agility flipping back to her hands and feet with a kip up. Hayes turns around into a spin kick into the gut, which is followed with a knee lift and then a round house kick to the chest and lastly before a leg sweep takes Asher off his feet, Glory covers with a lateral press.

1…

2… Asher kicks out!

Sharper: “Great back and forth there, Glory showing that she is as nimble as a cat.”

Knots: “And Asher showing that it will take more than that to hold him down, he vacated the TV Championship so he could focus on this. He will NOT go down without a fight.”

Asher shakes his head to clear the cobwebs a little before rolling away, Glory gets to her feet first and charges over to Asher hitting a dropkick of her own which sends him through the ropes to the apron. She hits with a forearm shot once he got to his feet, she throws another but this time Asher blocks and hits a right hand of his own, and then a headbutt before holding onto her head and dropping Glory across the top rope as he drop’s to ringside.

Sharper: “Oooh, Asher making use of the top rope. Some fans here not appreciating that, especially Glory.”

Knots: “But it’s no DQ, there is nothing wrong with that.”

Glory holds at her through coughing with Asher sliding back into the ring, Glory steady’s herself and looks to go back on the attack but Asher rushes and hits a clothesline, Glory springs back up and is hit by another. Glory gets back to her feet but Asher backed up to the ropes and charges at her, this time she doubles over to avoid but Asher leaps over and hits a sunset flip into a pin.

1… NO! GLORY REVERSE!!

Glory managed to shift her weight and roll forward now sitting on Asher for the pin.

1… NO! ASHER REVERSES AGAIN!

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY GLORY!!

Both quickly get to their feet in a stance with the crowd clapping both. Glory rubs her neck a little while Asher pats his chest. The two beginning to circle the other once more, another tie up occurs this time Asher changing tact and driving his thigh into the gut of Glory, He hits another before dragging her and throwing her through the ropes to the apron, backing a few steps back he waits for Glory to stand which she does. While she gathers her bearing, Asher runs at the ropes and looks for a spear. Glory leaps into the air by pushing off the top rope, Asher dives through and is caught with double knees to the back of his head and neck as Braddock came back down. She lands at ringside and backs up before hitting a superkick, Asher falls backwards into the ring, Glory sliding in and covers in a hurried pace.

1…

2… KICK OUT BY ASHER!!

Sharper: “Another near fall there, Glory getting the two count there.”

Knots: “Vicious superkick there from Glory to almost seal the match. Asher’s bell looks like it has been well and truly rung tonight after that.”

Asher rolls away holding his head, his feet hitting the canvas multiple times. Glory sits on the canvas a moment and winces herself. A chant of “This is Awesome” begins from the back of the arena towards the front. Glory smirks, she then gets to her feet and stomps the back of Asher, she does so again and one more time before pulling Asher to his knees. She tee’s him up and looks to hit a running knee but Asher throws arms up to block before leaping to his feet and hitting a European uppercut. Glory staggers back and Asher grabs and runs with Glory to send her to the outside via the middle ropes with a thud. The crowd ooohs as she gets up, Asher grabs hold of the top rope and vaults over only to land on the apron once he sees Glory was back on her feet. She tries another roundhouse kick to take him out by his feet, but he leaps over and lands at ringside, Glory turns around and gets caught by a superkick of her own knocking her onto her ass in the seated position. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Whoa, this back and forth action is showing just how evenly matched they are. They aren’t letting anything outside deter each other form giving their all tonight, here in Hamilton, Ontario.”

Knots: “Much like earlier Asher returned the favour with a superkick of his own to Glory. Have to see if Asher can capitalize better than Glory did earlier.”

Asher slaps the apron with his hands to hype himself up along with some of the crowd who begin an “Asher, Asher, Asher” Chant. Glory shakes out the cobwebs this time before being brought to her feet. Asher begins to bring her around the ringside area, but Glory manages to push him into the ring post causing him to stagger into the barricade. He holds his head but gets little reprieve as a stiff kick to the gut connects. Glory tries for another buy Asher blocks and hits a kick of his own which doubles the Champion over. He then pushes her head down between his legs to a roar from the crowd as he then wraps his arms around her waist before lifting her up onto his shoulders for a powerbomb. Glory instantly begins to hammer off elbows to the top of Asher’s head, he begins to stumble back a bit, Glory grabbing hold of the ropes and pulling herself onto the apron, she then mule kicks him in the face knocking him back a few steps before running the apron and throwing herself off into Asher with a cannonball.

Sharper: “Desperation move there form Glory, Asher looking to possibly slam her into the ground or apron with a powerbomb, that could have changed everything.”

Knots: “She had it scouted though, it’s why she’s one of the best in the world or THE best in the world if you ask her. Both feeling this match now though.”

Asher winces now as a “Lets go Glory” chants along with a few “Lets go Asher” as well. Glory rolls away and pulls herself up using the apron. Asher rolls over but the focus Is on Glory who shakes her head before pulling the apron curtain up and looking underneath, she finds what she was looking for and removes a steel chair to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Knots: “Whoa, I guess now the toys are coming out to play, it IS no DQ, anything goes.”

Sharper: “But what is she going to do with it?!”

Glory opens the chair up and sets it down on the ground further away from Asher, she then stumbles over to him and drops an elbow to the back of his head before grabbing his hair and pulling him to his feet. She begins to drag him towards the chair but he tries to fight back with a elbow to her gut, he hits another and looks for a short arm lariat but Glory ducks under it. Asher turns into a kick to the gut doubling him over, Glory drops to a knee and hits a stiff thrust to the throat of Asher causing him to stumble back and fall into and sit onto the steel chair. Glory shakes out her hand before backing up to the barricade and looking at Asher, she runs the ringside area at full speed but Hayes lunges out of the chair and drop toe holds Glory into the open chair face first with a smash which then flattens it…

Knots: “OUCH! Not what Glory hoped would happen.”

The crowd “OOOHS!” as Glory holds her face in agony, Asher leans against the announce table and smirks before tapping his temple while the official checks to make sure nothing is broken. He staggers over and pulls Glory up and rolls her into the ring however not wasting time. He then pulls himself up onto the apron and begins to scale the corner to the top turnbuckle. Again more of the crowd begins to buzz with excitement as he levels himself up and points down at Glory who lays prone before leaping off the top and hitting a 450 Splash on the Adrenaline Champion. The crowd roars and starts to count along with the referee when Asher falls back onto Glory as he holds his ribs.

1…

2…

3? NO KICK OUT BY GLORY!!!

Sharper: “Oh wow, Glory left it until the very last millisecond there. Asher almost had it.”

Knots: “Got to wonder just what is going through his mind right now, he must have thought he had it won.”

Asher continues to lay against Glory while holding his ribs, her rolls over to his knees and looks at her as she winces too. Asher looks at the referee making sure it was a 2 and not a 3 which he confirms, and we get an audible expletive from Asher. Digging deep Asher gets to his feet first, and reaches down to pull Glory up but instead she reaches up and pulls him down into inside cradle to the shock of all.

1..

2…

3? NO KICK OUT BY ASHER!!!

The is a mixture of cheers and a few boos with Asher kicking out at the last second as well. Asher quick to roll away to a corner before pulling himself up. Glory rolls over and starts to get up to, Asher cursing something before running at Glory who side steps him and grabs hold of his waist before rolling back into a seated position on top of him for another pin attempt.

1…

2.. KICK OUT BY ASHER!!

Sharper: “TWO NEAR FALLS IN QUICK SUCCESSION THERE, NOT ENOUGH HOWEVER!”

Knots: “But is it enough to get inside the head of Asher Hayes?! He must have thought she was out for the count!”

Asher is on his feet again, so is Glory she kicks him in the stomach and doubles him over before butterflying his arms behind his back looking for a underhook suplex. She tries to lift him but he plants his feet before breaking free and grabbing Glory by the waist and lifting her up and dropping her across the top rope. She falls down to the canvas holding her chest and throat while Asher gets back up ad pulls her back to her feet. Quickly he hits the ropes and charges at Glory who ducks, but Asher slides out of the ring and pulls her feet from under her. Hayes quickly climbs back into the ring and leaps onto the second rope and hits an Asai Moonsault on the back of Glory to another roar from the crowd. Again he holds his ribs before flipping her over and covering.

1…

2…

3? NO! GLORYS FOOT WAS ON THE ROPE!!!

Asher: “ARE YOU FUCKIN’ KIDDING ME?!”

Sharper: “Terribly sorry about that use of language ladies and gentlemen but this is a highly emotionally charged match right now…”

Knots: “You’re telling me, plus this is live TV!”

Asher gets to his feet and kicks the bottom rope Glorys foot was resting on, he isn’t happy but another “THIS IS AWESOME” Chant begins to motivate both superstars. Asher shakes his head and paces back and forth waiting for Glory to get to her feet which she slowly begins to do. He demands she get up now while motioning for it with his arm. She staggers to her feet and Asher looks for another Spear, but Glory side steps with a vicious kick to the chest which drops Asher to his knees, the wind knocked out of him. With anger in her eyes she grabs hold of him and locks in another butterfly before driving knees into his chest. She then spins around and lifts him up and over with a suplex before covering.

1..

2… KICK OUT BY ASHER!!

Glory sits up in a lot of pain, she holds her face and gets to her feet and nods to herself before exiting to the apron and vaulting to the top like a cat with one leap. Asher lays on the canvas motionless, Glory extends her arms and falls forward for a swan dive headbutt to Asher which gets a roar form the crowd as both heads collides. Glory holds her head as Asher does the same, but She covers him and hooks both legs.

Sharper: “Swan dive headbutt off the top turnbuckle, can this do it?!”

1…

2…

3? NO!! ASHER KICKS OUT!!!

The crowd roars with a loud cheer as they seem to be fully behind Asher now. Glory rolls off and gets to her feet before pullhim ghim closer to the corner. She then turns and vaults up before hitting a split leg moonsault on the former TV Champion. She holds her ribs for a split second before fighting through and covering once again.

1…

2…

3? NO!! ASHER KICKS OUT AGAIN!!!

Knots: “JESUS CHRIST, NEITHER WILL STAY DOWN!?!”

The crowd erupts again and a “Fight forever” chant actually begins from the crowd before shifting to a “Lets go Glory” “Lets go Asher” chants respectively. The SCW crowd is electric now, Asher rolls to his knees while Glory do the same. They look at each other and Glory is the first to throw a right hand which connects. Asher sways a little before throwing one of his own which also connects. This goes back and forth and begins to build up with speed as both Glory and Asher start getting their second wind. The crowd gets louder and louder as both Glory and Asher are now on their feet, Glory kicks a him which he dodges before kicking out at Glory who catches his leg and quickly twists out with a dragon screw takedown, Asher cries out in pain again. However he can’t rest on his laurels when Glory locks in an STF!

Sharper: “THE CHAMPION WITH THE STF!! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!”

Knots: “Asher has nowhere to go!”

Asher holds his head in pain the best he can in the middle of the ring. Glory locking the hold in tightly it would appear although evident pain is on her face as well. Asher reaches towards the nearest ropes he can but they’re still too far away, his hand hovers over the canvas looking like he might finally cave and tap, he raises his arm, the crowd watching anxiously but he grabs hold of Glorys arm and somehow manages to roll her onto her back, both shoulders down…

1…

2…

3? NO!!! GLORY LETS GO AND KICKS OUT!!”

Knots: “I DON’T BELIEVE IT, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO TAP BUT HE FOUGHT THROUGH IT AND ALOMOST GOT A PIN!”

Sharper: “THIS CROWD DOESN’T WANT IT TO END, I DON’T’ WANT IT TO END, I IMAGINE THE WORLD DOESN’T WANT IT TO END.”

The entire arena is electric with Asher holding his throat and lower back as Glory rolls away holding her head in her hands just glad that wasn’t it. She starts to get up to her feet and yells at Asher to get up, he begins to stir now as both have given their all tonight for the Adrenaline Championship. Both look exhausted, but Asher stumbles towards Glory and the two lock up, another knee from Asher doubles Glory over. He runs to the ropes and charges into a high boot to the face as he stumbles back to the ropes. Glory doubles over to catch her breath, but Asher exits to the ring apron and holds onto the top rope before leaping onto it and springboard off looking for something big, but Glory notices and leaps up into the air and hits the Gloria in Excelsis Deo with both knees to Asher’s Chest. Upon the impact, Asher flies back to the canvas holding his chest in pain. Glory rolls over and quickly leaps onto the top turnbuckle once again steadying herself not for the first time of the night and leaps off the top turnbuckle hitting a shooting star press!

Sharper: “The Blaze of Glory connects, and the Adrenaline Champion covers!!!”

1…

2…

3!!!

The bell sounds and the crowd erupts with cheers while some boo. Glory continues to lay on Asher as the official his handed the Adrenaline Championship which he in turn hands to Glory. She is now helped to her feet by the referee and has her arm raised as "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the P.A System. She stumbles towards the ropes after the referee goes to check on Asher.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH AS A RESULT OF A PIN FALL AND… STIIIIILLLL SCW ADRENALINE CHAMPION…. GLORY BRADDOCK!!”

The crowd erupts once again as Glory thrusts her arm up into the air with the title belt before pulling it in close, the pain she’s in too much right now. Asher is being looked over by the official but the focus is Glory Braddock who holds the title tightly to her chest. As she does this, the crowd roars as we see Cid Turner running out from the back. The crowd roars as he slides into the ring. Glory gets up and starts to turn as Cid runs in and grabs the title from her. He pulls it away and spins around and starts to use it to fend off attackers, should there be any.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock successfully defends her title. She manages to finally get the elusive victory.”

Knots: “A hell of a match, but look at Cid! Cid Turner out here!”

Sharper: “He just stole the title and he’s defending the ring. I think he’s worried Chad Evans may come out here!”

Knots: “He’s standing up for his friend. Maybe he’s realized the danger Chad is. He’s moved on. Or maybe he’s trying to just protect Asher while dealing with things.”

Glory just looks at Cid and Cid turns around and sees Asher down. He throws the title in the air and dives over to check on Asher as Glory catches the title. She looks at him before turning and joining the official and Cid in helping Asher. Cid turns to Glory. Glory calms him down as the crowd cheers and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Dylan Howell sighing as he walks down the hallway.

Howell: “Gotta figure out a way to get him to snap out of it. Having this type of obsession is totally not healthy!”

Howell keeps walking as we then hear a “psst!” Howell stops and looks around. We hear another “psst!” Howell looks around. He then spins around as Shilo Valiant walks out of a doorway and into the hallway. Howell, having been turned around at the time, didn’t notice this, but he’s quite stunned by Valiant’s appearance.

Howell: “How…how did you do that?”

Shilo: “I know my way down all of SCW’s hallways.”

Howell: “Well I know you and I know you’re an asshole.”

Shilo: “I may be. But I think you and I have a mutual acquaintance.”

Howell: “Konrad?”

Shilo: “Nope….”

Howell: “Well Regan’s not really an acquaintance to me. She’s my sister-“

Shilo: “Try again.”

Howell looks around and then his eyes widen.

Howell: “Addy!”

Shilo: “Bingo!”

Shilo walks around Howell and wraps his arm around him.

Shilo: “Now, I have my designs on it. Now, and fortunately, Asher Hayes didn’t make this more complicated. So why not talk to someone who knows it better than anyone? I mean, I hear Addy has a few skeletons in the closet.”

Howell: “No! Nothing.”

Shilo: “Well what about Glory Braddock? Think she’s a good champion?”

Howell: “Well Addy should be with me, but-“

Shilo shushes him. Howell looks stunned.

Shilo: “Let’s talk. Come with me.”

Shilo walks off with Dylan Howell as the scene cuts away.

James Evans vs. Ravyn Taylor, Christy Matthews & Holly Adams

The Infamous Gauntlet

The camera cuts to the crowd where we see a group of red-shirted security walking in through one of the ground-level entrances. They line up in front of the fans for a moment and seem to be holding them back. There’s then a loud click as the lights around the building flick off and darkness consumes the arena, with nothing but a few flashes from cameras in the crowd lighting the arena. Without warning we see black and white footage spring to life on the screen of Winston Churchill giving one of his most famous speeches, all the while the chilling sound of air raid sirens and war can be heard in the background...

"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall NEVER surrender!"

The video suddenly burns away to reveal a second hidden image of the devious ex-president George H. W. Bush giving a speech of his own...

"When we are successful, and we will be, we'll have a real chance at this new world order..."

“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to erupt into a sea of boos as they know who is about to make their presence felt. We cut to the back where we see Christy Matthews with taped fists flexing her wrists. On either side of her we see Ravyn Taylor and Holly Adams joining her as the three of them, all in matching ring-jackets bar the different colour on Christy’s, begin to walk the corridor. As they do, we see CHBK, Alexander Crowe and Christopher Richter behind them. The fans continue booing as the camera angle cuts and we see the doorway that security opened earlier as the three members of Infamous make their way through. None of them stop to do any grandstanding, instead making a beeline straight to the ring as we hear Phillips in the ring with the introduction.

Phillips: “The following contest is the Infamous Gauntlet! Making their way to the ring at this time, being accompanied by CHBK, Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe, first, from the City of Angels, CHRISTY MATTHEWS!”

The camera pans to Christy Matthews who’s still making her way to the ring. She doesn’t even acknowledge this however, vaulting over the guardrail as she approaches it.

Phillips: “Next, from Hell, Michigan, she is an SCW Hall of Famer, an SCW Supreme Champion, and a BAD, BAD GIRL, this is RAVYN TAYLOR!”

The camera pans to Ravyn Taylor who’s already at ringside and begins to make her way up the ring steps. We follow Ravyn as she walks up the ring steps and vaults over the top rope.

Phillips: “And, from Los Angeles, California, she is Your Favourite Wrestler, Holly Adams!”

We cut to Holly Adams who’s standing on the ropes on the camera side as Ravyn Taylor stands beside her and Christy Matthews stands up on the turnbuckles with her arms outstretched. After a few moments the trio all join together in the corner of the ring. They each remove their ring jackets and toss them into the corner where Crowe and Richter collect them, each revealing their Infamous skull-logo armbands. Ravyn and Christy point to the bands, tapping them with two fingers as the camera focuses on the logos. Holly looks around.

Sharper: “Syren successful earlier. Now she’s watching. Waiting to see what Infamous can do. CHBK said he’d take care of it.”

Knots: “And James Evans has gone through armies before…”

The opening of “Beg" 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. The cheers intensify as James looks out at the crowd.

Phillips: “And their opponent, from New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”

"I poke the needles under your skin
Tastes like blasphemy and treason
No, you're never getting far away"

James slowly makes his way to the ring, as images of him winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd.  

"See hope fading out of your eyes
This time the pain is going to feel unreal
I think you're gonna be some easy prey"

James then steps into the ring and walks to the center of it, removing his black hoodie, maintaining his focus.

"Beg motherf*cker
Beg motherf*cker
Beg motherf*cker
Beg"

James then goes to the corner and sits on the top turnbuckle, his back to the crowd, as his music comes to an end. He looks across as Infamous remains in this corner. CHBK then walks over with a microphone.

Sharper: “James Evans looks ready to go. First time we’ll see him enter a ring since Cold Blooded in April!”

Knots: “He better be ready. He fails tonight. He’s not facing Syren!”

CHBK: “Alright James…you know the rules. You need to get through all three. And I’ll decide the order. So…”

CHBK turns away from the ring when suddenly, Christy Matthews gets up and runs across the ring and nails James with a hard right. The crowd boos. The bell sounds. Christy nails James with a couple more shots as Ravyn and Holly exit the ring. Christy then kicks James in the ribs and then again and again. James drops down to a knee and Christy boots him in the head. He falls to the ropes. The crowd boos loudly and Christy turns and jaws at the crowd. The crowd boos some more as Christy turns around and goes over to James who suddenly reaches up and grabs her by the throat. He lifts her up and choke throws her into the corner. James then nails her with a hard right and then another and another. The referee calls for the break.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns with a panning shot of the crowd in the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. A hell of a night. Infamous successful over James Evans, but James Evans making a threat to end it.”

Knots: “What the hell did that mean? Fine by him if that’s how he wanted to do it?”

Sharper: “And Glory Braddock able to retain the Adrenaline Championship in a classic.”

Knots: “Asher Hayes won’t like the result, but hot damn, that was fun.”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, we know a number of people are converging on a restaurant in the General Toronto Area. And Jaina Lancaster is at the restaurant we believe Sienna Swann is meeting with Mr. D’s girlfriend, Karina. Jaina?”

Breakdown opens up outside of a restaurant. Jaina Lancaster stands with the cameraman, holding a microphone.

Jaina: “Thank you Adam. I am here on assignment, I guess, outside of a local restaurant. SCW agreeing to send a camera crew. We understand that Sienna Swann is currently enjoying a private meal with Xiomara Diaz, Sierra Swann and Karina, Mr. D’s girlfriend, in a girl’s night.”

The cameraman pans to show the nearly empty parking lot.

Jaina: “Clearly some of this has been planned. We’re apparently expected. I received a message from Xiomara Diaz herself. So…let’s go in…”

Jaina sighs, a bit uneasy, as she walks forward and opens the door. She holds it open as the cameraman follows in. She then steps inside. The cameraman follows in, filming the inside, a warm, red based design. The camera pans before we see Karina laughing as Sienna laughs across from her. Sienna turns and notices Jaina and then smirks. She turns to Xiomara and says something before looking up.

Sienna: “Jaina…and you’ve brought the attention of others. Always good. I’m just having a lovely meal with my new friend.”

Sienna then ushers the cameraman over as Karina looks up. The cameraman however pans over to see a large man standing in the corner, wearing a fedora and sunglasses, a bandage notable on his forehead. Jaina notices him.

Sharper: “Is that Cain Adams?”

Knots: “Looks like it! Just cleaned up!”

Sienna: “Say hi Karina. We know your boyfriend would never let you have the spotlight to yourself.

Karina: “Uh…hi!”

She waves nervously.

Sienna: “See, nothing negative happening here. It’s really a shame that your husband’s actions and the actions of others to make this seem much more scheming. We just happened to connect.”

Karina: “I’m enthralled with her modelling past. I used to dabble, but never really made it big when I was younger. Came from a small town. Never really got noticed.”

Sienna: “Oh, well, you’re still quite attractive. Xiomara, maybe we can use some contacts and see what options there are.”

Sierra: “Ohh…I can text a few people.”

Karina: “Really?”

Sienna: “Of course. I mean, with this international stage, it’s a shame to keep you hidden. But then again, I can see the paranoia. People could manipulate you to get to your partner. A shame…causes people to be close-minded.”

Karina: “Oh! You should sit.”

Jaina: “Uh…no, it’s okay.”

Just then, Jaina turns as we see someone who looks suspiciously like Giovanni Aries moving a chair over. Again, Giovanni looks much more cleaned up, his hair pulled back and looking clear eyed.

Giovanni: “Miss?”

Jaina: “No, it’s fine. I-“

Sienna: “Please. Sit. Bree would kill me if I didn’t bring you into this. Plus, you’re helping everyone look the fool they are. I’m having a meal with a friend.”

Jaina: “But isn’t that-“

Giovanni: “Miss?”

Giovanni places the chair down and Jaina sits down, looking around.

Sienna: “Now, what other dreams do you have? Maybe we can open some doors. We’re near Christmas. The least I can do. Take some pressure off of D.”

Karina: “Well I don’t know. He’s been great to me. A bit protective, but I can see with the work we’re in. Especially with Last Laugh.”

Karina shrugs. Just then, the door opens and we see Kelcey Wallace, Peyton Rice and Owen Cruze walk into the restaurant. Sienna turns and stands up.

Sienna: “Of course…well you’re not invited.”

Kelcey: “Just milking this for everything. Karina…you need to know that she’s manipulating you to get what she wants.”

Sienna: “I told you that Kelcey couldn’t handle anyone disagreeing with her. She’s always had a problem with me.”

Kelcey: “You really want me to go over the laundry list again.”

Sienna: “No. I want you to leave.”

Owen: “Not without Karina. We’re not going to let you sink your teeth into her to get whatever-“

Owen then notices Cain Adams now stepping up and Giovanni leaning behind a chiar.

Owen: “Cute…have them even playing dress up.”

Sienna: “I have no clue what you’re talking about.”

The door opens again as Blake Mason steps in with Aaron Blackbourne and Jaxson Sullivan before we hear a yell as Alice Ames runs from behind the door, having been waiting at the hostess stand for an opportunity and jumps up and onto the back of Kelcey. Kelcey nearly falls over as Blake runs forward and Owen does too. Giovanni lifts the chair and throws it, causing it to land into Owen as Sienna gets up as Sierra turns too. Xiomara turns and goes for Karina. Jaxson steps up too as Peyton steps up and Sierra and Peyton start to trade blows. Sienna grabs one of the half finished plates of food and nails Kelcey with it. Kelcey falls over as Alice falls into one of the booths. Kelcey turns as Sienna stomps away at her and Blake runs over and tackles Sienna down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “And a fight has broken out!”

Knots: “I hope the restaurant has insurance!”

Sharper: “Karina whisked away by Xiomara. Jaxson Sullivan running after. Giovanni then runs over and grabs Blake and pulls him up by the hair and headbutts him in the back and then again before running him over and into the bar in the back of the restaurant. Blake leans on it and Giovanni nails him in the back and drives him face first into it. Sierra tries to drive Peyton into a plant as Peyton fights her off. Aaron Blackbourne runs over and fights Cain as Owen starts to get up and Sienna starts to stir as Alice does too. Owen then heads over and runs over to Giovanni who is now climbing onto the bar and Owen trips him up, causing him to land on it and fall onto the glassware and then the floor. Owen climbs over. Blake turns as Sienna grabs Kelcey and Kelcey forearms her in the jaw and then again. Sienna fires back and Kelcey grabs her and pulls her into the booth, nearly on top of Alice who just frantically kicks anything, Sienna, Kelcey, or anyone to get out, before crawling out. Peyton elbows away from Sierra and turns and Alice grabs at her. Aaron keeps fighting with Cain as Owen grabs Giovanni and throws him back first into the alcohol bottles in the back and Giovanni falls over. He gets up and Blake turns and goes over to help Aaron with Adams. We then hear the sound of sirens as we see someone run out from the back, presumably the manager.

Sharper: “We have sirens. This is chaos.”

Knots: “I think the police have been called as this brawl is destroying this restaurant! Started by Alice Ames and Sienna Swann was happy to get involved.”

The cameraman steps back toward the door as we see him turn and step out and out of the building. Police cars have pulled up to the restaurant. The cameraman steps back as Jaina is seen outside, having slipped out. We see Xiomara with her as the camera turns and we see Jaxson Sullivan with Karina, who is being helped into a Sedan. The shot pans around as more officers drive up. Several run into the restaurant as the cameraman spins around. We then see the door open as Kelcey Wallace is pulled out by a couple of officials, calmly looking forward. Sienna Swann is next though, restrained by two officers who struggle to get her out. Xiomara steps up.

Xiomara: “Easy! Easy!”

Sienna: “Why am I being restrained? I just wanted a beautiful meal with friends and family. She comes in-“

Officer: “Okay, okay. Save it for the station. We’ll take a statement there.”

Xiomara: “Officer…”

Xiomara goes to the door.

Officer: “Please back away from the cruiser, ma’am.”

Sienna: “Make sure she gets the book throne at her. She’s the one who started it. It’s all on tape too! Right!”

Sienna smiles, looking at the camera.

Sienna: “And she’s a mother! Ha!”

Xiomara: “Sienna…just sit tight.”

The camera turns as Blake Mason is next to be led out.

Sharper: “Talk about a shocking end to the year!”

Knots: “Why have a Merry Christmas when you can have a Behind Bars Christmas! What the hell’s going to happen here?”

Sharper: “This situation just getting more and more…”

Knots: “Shhh!”

Blake turns to Jaxson. Jaxson just nods. Blake looks relieved as he then looks at the Sedan.

Sharper: “Blake clearly helping out Karina. That explains that…”

Knots: “Now someone better help them all!”

Sharper: “Breakdown in 2020 ends with a destroyed restaurant and arrests…What the hell is going to happen in 2021? We’ll see you on New Year’s Eve for the End of the Year Special!”

Owen is led out next, followed by Sierra, who is pleading with officers.

Sierra: “Please…I’m an innocent. Attacked violently. Do I look like someone who would do that?”

The scene fades to black…
