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....”

"Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,
immor immortals
Immortals"
 
We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking down at herself, while posing in the corner before showing Har Megiddo in the ring.

This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping an opponent with the CATastrophe before showing Bree Lancaster nailing Marie Jones with the Classifier, followed by a shot of Blake Mason hitting the Blake Mason Experience on Thirteen before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen. 

 

The scene opens up with a shot of the outside of the Verizon Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas. The camera cuts to show fans filing into the building going through the turnstiles before cutting to a shot of the inside of the arena where the music cuts to hear “Groupie” by Cassie Steele playing in the background. We then see a shot of Syren, Ravyn Taylor, CHBK and Alexander Crowe on the stage. We then see Katya, Mr. D’s youngest daughter, walking out, dressed in a pantsuit and with a clipboard in her hand. She walks forward as the crowd boos loudly and CHBK talks to her a bit.

 

Sharper: “Are we live right now? Not going to Toronto?”

 

Knots: “No countdown?”

 

Sharper: “I guess we are. Welcome to Little Rock. I don’t know why we’re not starting in Toronto. But I can tell you that we’re seeing Dark Fantasy and with them, the youngest daughter of the owner of this company, Katya. She is with them and this coming a week and a half after she tried to pull something that involved Syren getting a World Championship shot!”

 

The boos continue as Katya walks alongside CHBK and they head to the ring. Ravyn smiles as she holds the SCW Adrenaline Championship over her shoulder. Crowe and Syren walk alongside one another as they head to the ring. The boos continue as they reach the ringside area. Katya walks up the steps and then steps into the ring, crouching down between the bottom and middle ropes. She then walks to the middle of the ring, glancing back. CHBK enters next with Ravyn walking up and wiping her feet before entering. Syren walks up the steps and then along the apron before stepping into the ring. She smirks as Crowe smiles, taking in the rear. They walk around the ring as the crowd boos. CHBK demands a microphone and is given one. He then turns and walks over to Katya. Katya and him say something to one another as Katya takes the microphone. She looks out at the crowd as the crowd boos. Katya listens to it for a moment.

 

Katya: “I can appreciate your incorrect opinion, and we may be in Arkansas, but please, be polite when we’re talking.”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Katya feigns a tough woman act as she starts.

 

Sharper: “What happened to that young lady?!”

 

Knots: “And she’s been side by side with her father. Sasha was right. Something was off.”

 

Katya: “You may be wondering about what this all looks like. Well, it’s simple. Tonight, it’s a correction. Actually, Bound by Blood was supposed to be the correction, but we’ll get to that in a moment. See, several months ago, my father listened to a very good idea. One that I happened to share and someone else gave to me…to give those who deserved their shots their rightful opportunities. And that began with Alistaire Allocco. Alexis Quinne had a good moment too. They were former World Champions and they received a rematch for those titles. Months overdue. There was one very big mistake though….”

 

Katya turns and looks at Syren.

 

Katya: “Syren. Arguably the greatest wrestler in SCW today.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Give me a break. I’d have bought that argument last year. Right now, she’d have to actually compete regularly, not dodge her matches!”

 

Katya: “Even with the champion agreed to the match, no title match. Well, Bound by Blood was to fix that. It didn’t happen. Instead, I will just have to do this.”

 

Katya then holds up the contract in her hand.

 

Katya: “This is an official, notarized SCW Contract. It is for a World Championship shot. Ironically, at the first pay per view of 2019, SCW Making Things Right. Syren…it is yours.”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Katya turns and extends the contract to Syren. Syren takes it and looks at it, admiring it.

 

Sharper: “How does she have the ability to get that?”

 

Knots: “How was she doing anything at Bound by Blood? Then again, even Steve Hollinsworth, the official for Cassidy Carter versus Blake Mason didn’t know what to do.”

 

Katya: “Sorry, dad. But while I can understand that you can be upset about this. I’m just doing what you always claimed SCW to be about…opportunity and I’m righting this for you. I’ve been trying to get you to understand this for six months. You’re stubborn. I always knew that. But I was not going to let you hurt my inheritance just because you made things personal.”

 

Sharper: “Her inheritance?!”

 

Knots: “Meanwhile where is he? He’s not in Little Rock as far as we’ve heard.”

 

Sharper: “We were supposed to open up in Toronto. So there’s a lot we don’t know right now!”

 

The crowd boos as Katya pauses.

 

Katya: “Now, for those wondering, tonight, I will be calling the shots. My father. He’s not in Little Rock. Sorry. My sister…she was supposed to be. But travel can be finicky. And so everyone better understand that I will be making some long-necessary decisions.”

 

Sharper: “According to who? You? CHBK? Ravyn?”

 

Knots: “Any of those are scary. In one case, you’ve got someone who knows nothing about this business. In others, you’ve got people with a clear agenda! You better do nothing to Kennie this time!”

 

Katya: “Could Steven Hollinsworth come to the ring?”

 

Katya turns to the entrance way.

 

Sharper: “The referee from that match.”

 

Katya looks around as CHBK turns to the entrance way. Syren just glares as Crowe walks around. Ravyn leans in the corner. A few moments pass before we see SCW official Steve Hollinsowrth walk out from the back. He looks at the ring and looks around. The crowd buzzes a bit. Some even cheer him as he heads down to the ring. Katya watches him as he reaches the ring. Hollinsworth walks up the steel steps and then into the ring as Crowe holds the ropes open for him. Hollinsworth slowly enters and looks at him and then to Katya.

 

Katya: “Steve, do you know who I am?”

 

Katya extends the microphone as CHBK nods to him. Steve looks around.

 

Steve: “You’re D’s daughter. Katya.”

 

Katya: “Good. And if my father had come down and told you a match had changed…for example, as it did say at Under Attack, in the Tag Championship match, you’d follow his instruction.”

 

Steve: “Yes…but that came directly from-“

 

Katya: “Have you not seen me making decisions with my father? Have you not seen me helping him in running this show?!”

 

Steve: “But-“

 

Katya: “No buts. Are you threatened by me because I’m a woman?”

 

Steve: “Wait…what?”

 

Katya: “Doesn’t matter. Steve, since I’m taking over tonight as my father continues to recover from his concussion, and my sister isn’t here in his stead, that means I’m in charge. And well, Steve, my father doesn’t like people who don’t follow direction and I don’t either. So Steve, please leave this ring, get into your rental car and leave. You’re fired.”

 

The crowd roars and then boos. He steps up and pleads with Katya.

 

Katya: “You could’ve just done what was asked. This is on you. My father always said to deal with the consequences of actions. Here you are.”

 

CHBK shakes his head and then Crowe starts to escort him out of the ring. Syren mockingly waves at him.

 

Sharper: “She’s just abusing her power. Her father, her sister, they’re on the board. Katya…she’s-“

 

Knots: “She may have some power, but who’s going to doubt this.”

 

Katya continues to look at Steve as Steve starts to leave the ring and drops down. He then looks around, clearly holding back his frustration and anger as he turns and storms to the back. Just then “Criticize” starts to play. The crowd erupts in cheers as Syren turns to the entrance way. A few moments pass before Kennedy Street and Trinity Street walk out from the back. Trinity stops Hollinsworth as Kennedy looks down at the ring with a microphone in her hand. Steve looks around before turning to Trinity, pleading with her to let him pass. Trinity just tries to calm him down as Hollinsworth then forces himself past Trinity and to the back.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street and Trinity Street.”

 

Knots: “Trinity trying to keep Hollinsworth out here. Just Trin, Kennie, please, be careful. She’s on a power trip or something…”

 

Sharper: “Or Dark Fantasy is. And reading between the lines, it looks like this has been something they’re worked on for months.”

 

Kennedy: “Is this really your newest plan? Manipulate Katya and get her to hand you a title shot.”

 

Katya: “Kennedy. I know you know my father. You know how happy he was that I was with him. I’m just putting into action all of the principles he claims to stand for.”

 

Kennedy: “Bullsh[bleep], honey!”

 

The crowd roars. Katya just looks at her.

 

Kennedy: “I don’t see that at all. I see someone who Ravyn, CHBK, whoever, they’ve conned you into this.”

 

Katya: “I was conned into nothing!”

 

The crowd boos. CHBK and Ravyn smirk.

 

Katya: “I’m just giving them what they deserve and I happen to agree with CHBK, with Ravyn.”

 

Kennedy: “Oh honey…I don’t know what happened to you with Red Rayne, with Ravyn, but THIS…no one deserves this. And I’m not going to stand by and just accept this situation. After Bound by Blood, my sister and I are not in a mood to just stand by. We’ve got unfinished business with the Beauty Factory, but it looks like we have plenty of unfinished business with Dark Fantasy too!“

 

Katya: “Well you won’t be acting on it.”

 

Kennedy looks at Katya. Trinity just looks at Katya.

 

Katya: “See, you’re going to return backstage. And security is going to keep you there. And no, it’s not because you’re being disrespectful. In this case, it’s because of what you and Trinity tweeted out. How you were going to be there in case someone interfered in the main event tonight? Don’t worry, that will still be happening. My father personally signed it. But I’m going to make sure that his desire is met…and that means the entire Street Family and the entire Beauty Network…all of them are banned. And in your case, security will prevent you from being a hazard to yourselves.”

 

Kennedy shakes her head.

 

Kennedy: “We’re not the ones you need to worry about. It’s the people standing behind you Katya.”

 

Kennedy brings the microphone down as “Criticize” starts to play. A few bars play as Trinity and Kennedy start to head to the back.

 

Katya: “Wait…wait…please don’t play that song. Please play my song.”

 

“Cult of Personality” by In Living Colour plays. The crowd boos as Katya smiles. Kennedy and Trinity listen and Trinity just gets Kennedy’s attention as they head backstage. CHBK smiles as Katya turns to him. CHBK says something as Ravyn nods. Syren just holds up the contract as Crowe points to her.

 

Sharper: “That music is very familiar. The music Mr. D used to use.”

 

Knots: “Whatever this power trip is…it’s very dangerous and Dark Fantasy seem to be behind it.”

 

Sharper: “And we’re just getting started.”

A still for Selena Frost vs. Bree Lancaster comes up on the screen with the SCW United States Championship underneath.

 

Sharper: “Plenty to come tonight. Now we know at least we don’t need to worry about the Beauty Network or the Streets, not that we didn’t need to worry about the latter. Selena Frost challenges Bree Lancaster for the SCW United States Championship tonight!”

 

Knots: “But that’s not all…”

 

A still for Ace Marshall vs. Ikiro Yoshida comes up on the screen.

 

Knots: “Ace Marshall is going to face Ikiro Yoshida. But where does Cassidy Carter fit in all this? She was the number one contender? That’s why I assume Ikiro was facing Ace tonight?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but something tells me that we’re going to be finding out a lot about how Mr. D’s youngest envisions SCW…or how Dark Fantasy does.”

The scene cuts backstage as we see Kennedy Street, Trinity Street and Selena Frost backstage.

 

Selena: “What is up with this?”

 

Kennedy: “I don’t know.”

 

Trinity: “Girl’s on a power trip. And this has CHBK and Ravyn’s fingerprints all over it.”

 

Selena: “I’ve tried to call D. No luck.”

 

Kennedy: “I’m going to try too, but this is not something I’m going to stand with.”

 

Selena: “Neither am I.”

 

At this point, Dean Black heads over and sighs as he has a number of security representatives with him.

 

Trinity: “That’s all well and good. But for now, it looks like we’re going to have to figure things out while behind a closed door.”

 

Selena: “Dean…don’t tell me you’re listening-“

 

Dean: “We can’t confirm anything. After Steve’s situation, none of us are taking the risk if we’re fired. Until we hear otherwise, she’s D’s daughter still and she does work in the front office. D found a role for him as his assistant to let her learn some of the ropes.”

 

Selena shakes his head.

 

Kennedy: “Selena…do two things for me. Keep trying to get D. I’ll let you know if I hear anything…and kick Bree Lancaster’s ass.”

 

Trinity: “And no matter what…if the Beauty Network tries something…if anyone does…we’ll be there.”

 

Trinity glances at the security guards.

 

Dean: “Trinity, Kennedy…”

 

Selena: “Thanks…”

 

She looks at her phone as Trinity and Kennedy head off with security following them. Selena then starts to redial as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we opens up in the room that would normally have been Mr. D’s office. She walks forward and CHBK walks in with her. Ravyn, Syren, and Crowe are not with them. Katya then looks around the desk.

 

CHBK: “A good start. You’re a natural. Like your father.”

 

Katya: “Good to know I got something from him.”

 

Katya then grabs another couple of pages on her desk, the SCW logo visible on them. We then see Dean Black walk over and knock on the door.

 

Katya: “Ah…Dean. Taken care of?”

 

Dean: “Yes…security is watching the outside of their locker room. No one in or out without us knowing.”

 

CHBK: “Hmm…I never told you how much I respect you for the job you do Dean.”

 

Dean: “Alex…you know I don’t like this.”

 

Katya: “You’re not paid to know what to like.”

 

Dean just takes a deep breath, biting his tongue.

 

Katya: “Do you mind taking care of this?”

 

Dean: “You have an assistant.”

 

Katya: “Well she’s not here and I want to make sure this gets out tonight.”

 

Dean takes it and looks at it.

 

Dean: “Wait…you’re firing Blake Mason?!”

 

Sharper: “What?”

 

Katya: “Yes. He’s not here.”

 

CHBK: “Shame. A lot of talent. Never makes good decisions.”

 

Dean looks at CHBK.

 

Katya: “That’s breach of contract. All because he lost.”

 

Dean: “Is that it?”

 

Katya: “Yes. Could you please have that faxed to him? I assume someone like him still has a fax machine.”

 

Dean takes it and shakes his head as he leaves the room. CHBK turns to Katya.

 

Katya: “Been waiting a long time for that. Thank God he’s an idiot.”

 

CHBK smirks. He gets up.

 

CHBK: “And just remember, if you need anything….”

 

Katya: “I think I’ll enjoy this.”

 

CHBK: “You deserve it. You’ve already made tough decisions your father needed to make…remember?”

 

Katya smiles as CHBK turns and heads off. The crowd boos.

We cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Now she’s firing Blake Mason?”

 

Knots: “Well we know she never liked him but…”

 

Sharper: “He also stopped Dark Fantasy’s plan at Bound by Blood and helped Sasha, Katya’s sister up. There’s a lot of layers to this and we’re just scratching the surface!”

 

Angelica Jones vs. Tommy Valentine

 

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

"I Lost My Miiiiiiind..."

The image of a red dragon appears on the Tron. The dragon is engulfed in flames as it is replaced by a phoenix. Then that too goes up in flames as it is replaced by an image of Angelica Jones. The big screen shows images of Angelica Jones delivering the Hot Shot to the Divine Impact to SCW competitors. Angelica then steps out onto the stage. She is dressed in all black, from head to toe, and that includes a black trenchcoat. Her long hair hangs down to shoulder length. James Evans walks out with her. Both hold their SCW World Tag Team Championship belts. Angelica stares down at the ring, pausing before finally beginning to make the long walk to the ring, James a few steps behind.

 

Phillips: “Your opening contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. Accompanied by James Evans, first, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Angelica Jones!”

 

Once at ringside she takes a sharp turn to the right and then ascends the steel steps, making her way up to the ring apron. She strolls slowly to the center before turning towards the audience. She looks out intensely at the crowd before posing with both arms raised high into the air. James slides into the ring and points to Angelica. Angelica steps into the ring and then steps over to the opposite side of the ring where she poses on the second rope. She then jumps off and heads to the center where the music dies down and the lights come back up. She then hands her title to James Evans. Evans turns to the entrance way.

 

Sharper: “Angelica Jones coming out with James Evans. The two of them the new World Tag Team Champions.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but Bree and Andrew are already angling for a rematch. Already saying they’re coming for it. Did the start of this show throw that into whack?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. I wonder what the Tag Team Champions are thinking. I also wonder what their opponents are thinking too.”

 

The arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the whole room into darkness for several seconds before the screens light up to display a countdown.

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. Two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Cut The Cord" by Shinedown, hits. A shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"FREE-DOM LALALALA FREE-DOM FOLLOW ME!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverberates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start cheering.

The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp as he looks out into the audience that are now cheering him. Jake Starr stands with him and they look out at the crowd. Tommy stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards with his palms upwards, he then stops and then shakes his head before smirking and shrugging. Fireworks then shoot out at the top of the ramp in a burst before he resumes walking down to the ring with Jake Starr.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Jake Starr, from Raleigh, North Carolina, he is Tommy Valentine!”

 

As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and goes to high fives a few fans before moving on down the ramp, the smirk still on his face before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, simply nodding before smiling at all the fans in the crowds. Starr hops onto the apron. He looks in as Tommy jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. Thomas then stands motionless in the corner, looking at Angelica.

 

Sharper: “Bree and Andrew can be looking at a rematch. Tommy Valentine may be thinking about how to get Resurgence back into contention.”

 

Knots: “Tag Division heating up.”

 

The bell sounds. Tommy and Angelica start to circle the ring. James and Jake watch from the floor in their partner’s respective corners. Tommy lunges and Angelica hits a kick to the thigh. The crowd roars. Angelica backs up and kicks him in the thigh again. Tommy goes for a hard right. Angelica ducks under and turns around before kicking Tommy again. Tommy grits his teeth and swings again with a haymaker before Angelica ducks and stops before jumping up and hitting a dropkick. Tommy hits the mat and rolls over.

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine pins one half of the Tag Team Champions.”

 

Knots: “Still plenty left in those bones!”

 

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine and Angelica Jones, every time they face, there’s some magic.”

 

Tommy then pulls away from Starr. Starr looks a bit confused as Tommy then heads to the back. Starr looks back at Angelica and James, who is now helping Angelica up, as we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage to see Jessica Winters standing outside of the locker room of the Beauty Factory.

 

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and I am outside of the locker room of the Beauty Factory and I’m hoping to get a word with Sienna Swann given what we saw earlier tonight with Syren being named the challenger for the World Championship at Making Things Right…”

 

Jessica shakes her head.

 

Jessica: “The first pay per view event of 2018. Now, we have three potential World Championship contenders. Syren, Cassidy Carter who won at Bound by Blood, and whoever wins the End of the Year vote next week.”

 

The door opens and Laura Steinbeck steps out and looks at Jessica. She then turns to Jessica.

 

Jessica: “Laura Steinbeck, could I-“

 

Laura cuts her off.

 

Laura: “You will hear the official statement of the World Champion later tonight, when she speaks to the world, gracing everyone with their presence.”

 

Laura turns and returns to the locker room. Jessica watches her re-enter and turns to the camera.

 

Jessica: “I guess we’ll find out later. Breakdown returns after this.”

 

The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Cassidy Carter whistling her theme music as she seems to be buffing a pair of stilettos with a cloth. She finishes and looks at it and smiles before getting up and starting to head out of the room with an angry look on her face, but she’s stopped when Ace grabs her arm and spins her around. She lifts the stiletto up and Ace leans back.

 

Ace: “Okay…roleplaying for later will be great, but right now-“

 

Cassidy: “I was just going to say hi to our now emperor! See how convincing I could be since you know…I AM THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE SCW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!”

 

Ace: “I know.”

 

Cassidy: “And that two-faced bitch and her bitchkateers tried to ruin that. And now she’s got a World Title shot too.”

 

Ace: “Yes, that’s all horrible.”

 

Cassidy: “I thought you got along with them.”

 

Ace: “Well they didn’t let me in on their plans! And I’m not exactly thrilled.”

 

Cassidy: “Well then, join me as I find out whether I’m going to have to worry about an alibi tonight. I was planning to save this for Sienna and just have some fun ruining the perfect BS, but Syren has come to the front of the long and D’s kid is there too!”

 

Ace: “Can you put the stiletto down? They may be more willing to listen to you.”

 

Cassidy: “I figured they’d be more.”

 

Ace looks at the stiletto. Cassidy rolls her eyes and tosses it into the room.

 

Cassidy: “We’ll do it your way.”

 

Ace: “Thank God. I’ll be honest, I just didn’t want that stiletto inside of me.”

 

Cassidy and Ace head off.

The scene opens up at the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots as “Immortals” plays in the background.

 

Sharper: “Looks like Cassidy Carter was planning something, but Ace actually the voice of reason.”

 

Knots: “I can’t believe I was thinking about cheering for them.”

 

Sharper: “Well, that’s one situation we’re watching tonight as we try to figure out what is happening at the head of SCW. Syren has been named for a World Title shot. Kennedy and Trinity have been placed under security detail. Sienna Swann is going to give us her comments and Blake Mason is fired!”

 

Knots: “Power trip much?”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Aaron Blackbourne, he may be insulted from all of this. But Katya had a role in that. She convinced her father to go along with the indecent proposal stipulations and despite the controversial way that ended.”

 

Knots: “I was in the ring. I saw her eyes.”

 

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne is currently on a date with Scarlet Grey at a fine dining establishment here in Little Rock.”

 

Knots: “They have those here?”

 

Sharper: “A cameraman has joined them.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. The camera pans to show Aaron Blackbourne as he looks down, playing with his salad as he is dressed in a collared shirt and dark pants. Across from him is Scarlet, wearing a deep cut dress, accentuating her body as she sits across, a smill on her face.

 

Scarlet: “Come on Aaron. You know it’s not good to play with your food. Something else then-“

 

Aaron: “Scarlet. You know I’m only doing this because it’s a means to an end.”

 

Scarlet: “That doesn’t seem like you’re trying too hard. I mean I thought of you. Asked for a private room. I’m even paying. So, I got a bit overzealous-“

 

Aaron looks up.

 

Aaron: “You attacked her. She’s not a wrestler!”

 

Scarlet: “Not my proudest moment.”

 

Scarlet sighs as Aaron slides the salad away.

 

Scarlet: “Look. Let me start again.”

 

Aaron: “Scarlet. That’s not going to help. The only thing that will…is if you respect that I am with Liane. I am not interested. Maybe if you accept that, we can at least enjoy this and move on.”

 

Scarlet: “That’s the problem though. Your relationship with that…thing…please. She can’t measure up to this.”

 

Aaron: “She doesn’t need to measure up with looks. She’s perfect for me.”

 

Scarlet: “Awww…were you planning that? Did you say that in the mirror? I mean I could just crawl under this table and then would you still remember the line-“

 

Scarlet drops down to her knee. Aaron slides back. The waiter then walks into the room as Scarlet slowly gets up.

 

Waiter: “Um…should I return later? I was just going to clear the table as your entrees are ready.”

 

Aaron: “Please do.”

 

Aaron looks at across from Scarlet as he sits back down. She sits back in her seat.

 

Scarlet: “You do realize I can be very convincing.”

 

The waiter takes the two plates, one still half full from Aaron, and walks off as Aaron looks at Scarlet.

 

Aaron: “And I’m not interested in being convinced. This should not be happening. That contest…you didn’t win. You needed to manipulate that just to get here. I’m sure had I not shown up, nothing would’ve happened, but I want this to end. I am seeing Liane. I-“

 

Scarlet: “Do you love her?”

 

Aaron: “Y-“

 

Scarlet feigns gagging.

 

Scarlet: “No such thing exists.”

 

Aaron: “Then why?”

 

Scarlet: “Because I want you.”

 

Scarlet smiles. She then stands up and leans on the table. She then looks down at herself.

 

Scarlet: “Your eyes…your body…your…”

 

Scarlet smirks and Aaron slides the chair back as we then see the waiter walk in with two plates of food. Scarlet smiles as she sits down.

 

Scarlet: “Sorry, just having a very interesting conversation.”

 

Waiter: “I’m sure.”

 

He then walks forward and places the plates down as he goes to explain what’s on each plate before we cut away. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Breakdown  returns back to the arena as we see Cassidy Carter storming into the office of Katya. Katya steps back as Ace steps forward and looks at Katya.

 

Ace: “Don’t worry. I took away her weapon.”

 

Cassidy: “Oh don’t worry. I plan to just talk. Not like you tried to screw me out of my title shot!”

 

Katya: “Well maybe you shouldn’t have been there.”

 

Cassidy: “Just like you then! Well guess what, we’re both in places many wouldn’t have guessed. But either way, I was given the shot and I beat Blake and then all of a sudden, I was attacked from behind and heard the shrill yelling of you!”

 

Katya: “Do you not know who I am?”

 

Cassidy: “I don’t care whose crotch you dropped out of. I care about knowing whether I’m going to have to go and get that stiletto, a nice pair too, and it was just for you, that Ace told me not to bring.”

 

Cassidy leans forward.

 

Cassidy: “Am I getting my title shot? Or are we going to have a problem?!”

 

???: “Hmmm…seems like she’s not exactly rational at this moment.”

 

Ravyn Taylor steps in. Cassidy turns to her.

 

Cassidy: “You…I already didn’t like you.”

 

Ravyn: “Shame…after all of the fun times we’ve shared.”

 

Ace: “Can we change the subject?”

 

Katya: “Sure. Your title shot, Cassidy?”

 

Ravyn: “Unimportant.”

 

Cassidy: “Oh good. You’re really calling the shots.”

 

Ravyn: “Maybe…maybe not. But then again, you can try to figure it out. Or are you going to threaten us by using an unnecessarily expense shoe Ms. Counterculture and does whatever she wants.”

 

Ace: “Alright. I’m going to just step in here between you two.”

 

Cassidy pulls Ace away. She turns to Katya.

 

Cassidy: “This is simple. I won a shot. I don’t care about Syren getting the shot. Whatever. But I want Sienna first. We have some unfinished business and I want to see how hard iron really is. Again…last time I didn’t get what I wanted, well…”

 

Cassidy then turns and heads off as Ace looks at Ravyn and then Katya before following after her. Ravyn turns to Katya.

 

Katya: “Thank you for coming in.”

 

Ravyn: “Alex and I figured they’d do something after we saw them.”

 

Ravyn pauses.

 

Ravyn: “So their title shot?”

 

Katya: “I disagreed with that match when I heard it. Who is Cassidy Carter?”

 

Ravyn: “More than people give her credit for. And I think she should get her match against Sienna before Syren does. Would only be fair? Especially after Syren cut the celebrating short. Make things right.”

 

Ravyn smiles as she turns and heads off as Katya watches her leave and the scene fades to black.

Bree sits down in one of the locker rooms with an annoyed sigh as Andrew Raynes looks over at her. Dustin Adams is getting ready in the background.

 

Bree: “Can’t believe this. At least we don’t need to worry about Trinity and Kennedy. But this crap-“

 

Andrew: “Gotta look them pulling this. Go from crap to crappier. At least I don’t have to try and be civil.”

 

Bree: “We do Andrew. Rematch isn’t guaranteed even if you and I both damn sure deserve it. And now with the US Title-“

 

Andrew: “Don’t tell me you think you’ll lose to Selena?’

 

Bree: “God no…but with Katya…or Dark Fantasy…”

 

Andrew: “You’ve got the Beauty Network. You’ve got me. I’ll have your back and if they want to put me behind security. Well…I have someone who specializes with getting out of those situations.”

 

Andrew looks at Dustin. Dustin just salutes.

 

Andrew: “Kick Selena’s ass…and then we’ll get what we both deserve!”

 

Bree: “Good.”

 

Bree smiles as the scene cuts out.

Konrad Raab vs. Autumn Valentine

 

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them. Pit Bull Energy logos are on the side of his trousers. He wears black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and a ten minute time limit. First, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes. He does a holdup on each turnbuckle, getting cheers. He gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he turns to the entrance way.

 

Sharper: “Konrad Raab coming off a couple of tough losses just as he looked to be getting ahead.”

 

Knots: “Well he’ll face a fellow European tonight.”

 

The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the titantron. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine. The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, but Casterillo is not in the ring.

 

Phillips: “His opponent, from…”

 

Phillips stops as Konrad looks around and shakes his head.

 

Knots: “Where is he?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know-“

 

The official looks around as Konrad Raab turns to him. He even asks where they are. Just then, Katya appears on the big screen. She looks off screen.

 

Katya: “I’m on?”

 

Voice: “Yes.”

 

Katya: “Good. Sorry about this. Unfortunately, we’ve been told that Casterillo won’t be here. Apparently travel issues are a problem. Don’t worry though. We’ll still count this as a win for you Konrad. You work hard and you should be rewarded. Please announce it Jason to make it official.”

 

Phillips nods.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a forfeit, here is your winner, Konrad Raab!”

 

The crowd looks around as Konrad just looks at the screen. The camera near him picks up him saying “I wanted a match! I want to wrestle! For these fans!” Katya smiles.

 

Katya: “Good. I figured you’d want a match. And well, fortunately, I was able to find a suitable opponent.”

 

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

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


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

 

Phillips: “His opponent, accompanied by Ryan Watson, from Memphis, Tennessee, she is Autumn Valentine.”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


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

 

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine is the replacement? We’ve not seen her since Fatal Fortunes! And she is?! Autumn Valentine is back and with the Dark Fantasy jacket too. On this night of all things.”

 

Knots: “Too perfect. Too perfect this is all coming together like this.”

 

Autumn looks at Konrad as the crowd looks on. The bell sounds and Autumn and Konrad start to head toward one another. Konrad then goes for a haymaker shot, but Autumn ducks down and around. She then clubs Konrad in the back and then again. Konrad elbows her in the jaw. Autumn falls back. Konrad turns and looks at her as Autumn gets up and runs at him and goes for a double leg takedown. Konrad blocks it and Autumn tries to get him down, but Konrad grabs her and then gutwrenches her up and throws her over. Autumn hits the mat as the crowd roars. She rolls over and moves to the ropes. She then starts to get up and throws a hard right. Konrad blocks it and then pulls her in and hits a side belly to belly suplex. Autumn rolls out of the ring to the floor. Konrad turns to her as the crowd roars. (1)

 

Sharper: “Konrad Raab takes Autumn down. Belly to belly.”

 

Knots: “Looks like there’s a bunch of rust. Or Autumn is full of herself, thinking about to Dark Fantasy!”

 

Autumn starts to get up. (2) She looks over and Ryan heads over. (3) Autumn just watches Konrad as Konrad backs up and Autumn turns and rolls into the ring. She then gets up and runs at Konrad. Konrad however grabs her and lifts her up and hits a beal. Autumn hits the mat and rolls over and turns and runs at Konrad, but runs past her. Autumn stops as Konrad jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a back elbow. The crowd roars. Konrad goes for the pin.

Autumn kicks out. She turns and rolls over and Konrad gets up. Autumn turns and Konrad grabs her with a front face lock. He sets up for a vertical suplex, but Autumn rakes Konrad’s eyes. Autumn flips down and falls over a bit before getting up and Konrad turns and holds his eyes as Autumn gets up and hits a dropkick. The crowd boos. She gets up and hits another dropkick. More boos. Konrad staggers to the ropes. Autumn then gets up and runs at him and jumps up and hits a straight kick, knocking Konrad up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Autumn fighting back. After the eye poke.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Had to do that just to get the opportunity, but just going for it with those dropkicks.”

 

Konrad turns and winces. (1) He slowly pulls himself up as Ryan heads around. Autumn then turns and runs at the ropes and dives over the top rope and onto Konrad. The crowd ohs and boos. Autumn rolls over. (1) Konrad slowly rolls over. Ryan applauds as he points at Autumn. Autumn starts to get up. (2) She turns and grabs Konrad by the head. (3) She drags him up, pulling on the mask. Konrad then shoves her back. (4) He straightens the mask and rolls into the ring. Autumn turns and rolls in too. Konrad gets up and Autumn steps up to him and Konrad scoops her up and spins her around and into a facebuster. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Konrad woken up as Autumn pulled and teared on his mask and that set Konrad off!”

 

Knots: “Not going to stand for that disrespect!”

 

Konrad rolls Autumn over for the pin.

Konrad pushes her off. The crowd roars. Autumn gets up and stomps him in the face and then again and again. She steps forward as the crowd boos. Konrad starts to pull himself up.

 

Sharper: “Autumn getting fired up, but that may be because she was hoping she’d have this done by now.”

 

Knots: “That arrogance. That Dark Fantasy feeling. I don’t know, but Konrad has been tossing her around. It’s great!”

 

Autumn then turns and grabs Konrad and pulls him up. She nails him with a forearm shot and then another. She then kicks him in the ribs. She runs into the ropes and bounces off. Konrad goes for a clothesline, but Autumn ducks. She jumps to the top rope and jumps off with a springboard roundhouse kick, but Konrad ducks. Autumn blasts the official from the impact. The crowd roars. Autumn rolls through and Konrad turns to her as she turns and looks at the official. Just then, Ryan Watson shrugs and slides into the ring. Konrad turns and clotheslines Autumn down before turning around as Ryan runs over and nails her with a hard right and then another and another and another. The crowd boos as Konrad covers up. He falls back to the corner and Ryan tees off with a couple of other shots.

 

Sharper: “Ryan Watson now in. Referee down and Ryan Watson is making sure Autumn can stand tall in her return!”

 

Knots: “At this point, the refs may not be sure if they can disqualify anyone potentially affiliated with Dark Fantasy.”

 

Ryan then turns and helps Autumn up. Autumn and him talk briefly before Autumn and Ryan run over and both kick at Konrad. The crowd boos more as Konrad tries to cover up and they kick away. They both then pull him up and drag him to the ropes before going to fire him off into the ropes. He bounces off and Ryan and Autumn attempt a double clothesline, but Konrad ducks and then handsprings into the ropes and dives back, grabbing both by their heads and hitting both with the Ice Storm. The crowd erupts in cheers as Ryan and Autumn roll out of the ring. Konrad turns and rolls over and looks around. Autumn rolls over, holding her head and neck. Ryan holds his head and neck on the floor in pain. Konrad looks around as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Ice Storm on both Ryan and Autumn!”

 

Knots: “Autumn and Ryan to the floor. Konrad Raab right now standing tall. The official still down!”

 

Sharper: “And Konrad even checking on him!”

 

Konrad goes over and checks on the official. He keeps looking around as Ryan starts to get up, grimacing in pain, bend over and falling to a knee before getting up, holding his head and neck. He joins Autumn as Autumn starts to get up. They back up and wince as Konrad turns and looks at both of them as the scene cuts away.

Backstage, we open up to see Dean Black overseeing a chaotic scene with Dylan Howell down on the ground, a pool of blood under him, coming from a cut to his head. The camera pans up to show a splatter on the concrete wall. Officials are clearing the area as EMTs come onto the screen.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God…Dylan Howell!”

 

Knots: “Someone took him out! Not just that, but jesus, the blood!”

 

Sharper: “Who did it? Who attacked him? And his match is scheduled to be next?!”

 

EMTs keep checking on Dylan Howell as Dean Black can be seen talking to one of the officials as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

MOMENTS AGO:

We see a shot of Dylan Howell down on the ground, a pool of blood under him.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. We just saw this. Dylan Howell left lying in a pool of his blood.”

 

Knots: “Not just that, but clearly driven into the wall as you’ll see.”

 

Sharper: “We don’t know who did it, but we know Dylan is being looked at by our trainer, going through concussion protocol, stitches too.”

 

The camera pans up to show the blood splatter on the wall before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Backstage we see Trinity storming back inside the locker room with Kennedy.

 

Trinity: “They’re not letting us out. Apparently, now they’re worried we’ll seek revenge. Bloody assholes.”

 

Kennedy: “Someone went after Dylan…and I’d love to know who.”

 

Trinity: “That’s the problem. With us here…”

 

Kennedy: “Chris? Donovan? They’ll look into it.”

 

Trinity: “They’re going to have to….I just hope…just hope…not after-“

 

Kennedy: “Regan?”

 

Trinity: “She’s not handling it well.”

 

Kennedy says nothing.

 

Trinity: “Anything from D?”

 

Kennedy: “Nothing.”

 

Trinity paces.

 

Trinity: “If the idea was to neutralize us tonight…they’re just pissing me off.”

 

Kennedy: “Same here.”

 

The scene fades out as the crowd roars.

Dustin Adams vs. Max Kane vs. Dante McCaffery vs. Dylan Howell

Television Championship Eliminator

 

“Seizure of Power” hits the speakers as olive lights flicker around the arena, smoke and sparks fills the entrance ramp as Dustin Adams steps into the smoke and allows it to cover him before letting out a primal roar and extending his arms up and looking focused.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a fifteen minute time limit and is your TV Championship Eliminator. First, from Detroit, Michigan, he is Dustin Adams!”

 

He slowly walks down towards the ring and hops up onto the apron and quickly into the ring looking ready for a fight. He loosens up in the ring before getting ready to face his opponents.

 

Sharper: “If we needed more things to wonder about tonight, Dylan Howell taken out and left a bloody mess backstage. We don’t know who did it.”

 

Knots: “A lot of options. But I got one…who is now left alone to deal with two very angry or smart men! Max Kane!”

 

The opening to “Out of the Black” hits the PA system, drawing boos from the audience. The lights flash with every sound of the drum. Once the bass hits and the song kicks into gear, Dante McCaffery emerges from the curtains with a long black and red fur trenchcoat with another black and white jacket underneath. He immediately mouths off to the crowd and scowls. Dante glares at the crowd and shortly after, Ms. Budde and the man from last week walk out. They head to the ring.

Phillips: “Next, accompanied by Ms. Budde and LEO, representing the Network, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he is Dante McCaffery.”

Dante walks down to the ring, giving the fans the "shoo" gesture repeatedly. Budde just glares at the camera as LEO ignores it heading to the ring. Dante soon pauses and stares at the audience to his right for a moment. He looks around at the crowd and he says a few things. He then starts walking up the steel steps before turning around, giving the crowd the chance to boo him some more. Dante soon enters the ring. LEO and Budde remain on the outside. The crowd boos as McCaffery looks around the crowd. He then slides off his trenchcoat, turning to Dustin. The two chat a bit.

 

Knots: “Doesn’t that tell you something? They’re talking. Not like enemies. Like allies!”

 

Sharper: “This is going to be a bad night for Max Kane. I can feel it. Dylan and Max were both in this. That made it even. Someone took Dylan out and here we are!”

 

Knots: “And there’s a TV Title shot on the line too!”

 

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

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

"Suck My Kiss" then hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane is propelled from underneath the ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and drops to his knees on the ramp, the camera right in his face. Max yells at the camera before he stands on his feet. Max looks around the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is sporting a black and orange tanktop. However, the tanktop has a Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction-esque design with the skulls clearly showing Dante McCaffery, Jack Parker, Xander Valentine, Savali and Ms. Budde on the cross with the top reading "Rock N Roll Revenge Tour". Around his waist, he has a Scream Machine shirt. Max flashes the shirt to the camera before walking to the other side of the stage. Max then walks to the middle of the ramp and storms down the ring.

Max: “They tried to put me down but...they can't do it. Take nine, give out ten. F them all.”

Phillips: “Finally, from San Francisco, California, The Rock N' Roll Unicorn, Mad Max Kane!”

Max walks down to the ring, looking around the crowd, yelling to them. Max once again eyes the camera and he eyes it for a few seconds, flashing the Scream Machine shirt as well. The youngster picks up his pace and walks past the camera towards the apron. He runs into the ring and immediately runs up the top rope. Max yells to the crowd and then cheer as he looks to hs left and then his right. He motions for the crowd to make some noise before he jumps off the ropes. He retreats to the corner and starts moving around. He sees he camera and flashes his tanktop again.

Max: “You're in the ring with me now, Dante. Nowhere to run, prick!”

Max takes off his tanktop and tosses it to the crowd. He then slides the Scream Machine shirt on the apron as well. He turns to Dustin and Dante.

 

Sharper: “Max Kane looks ready to fight.”

 

Knots: “Is he ready? Or is he just too stupid to realize what he’s got to get ready for!”

 

Kane motions to Dante and Dustin to come at him as the crowd roars. The bell sounds. Dustin then steps forward and goes for a running clothesline. Kane ducks and spins around before hitting a discus punch to Dante. The crowd roars. Kane then turns and runs at Dustin as Dustin turns around and jumps up, nailing him with a hard right and then another and another. Dustin falls back into the corner. Kane kicks him in the ribs over and over before Dante gets up and runs over to him. He grabs Kane and pulls him back. Kane rolls through and to his feet. Dante turns back to him and Kane hits a dropkick. Kane then turns and flips up to his feet. He turns and runs at the ropes and Budde and LEO before she can realize what Kane is doing, he dives through the ropes and Kane nails Budde, and catches LEO with his arm, but doesn’t quite hit him, moving too fast in the air.

 

Sharper: “Kane! He knows its essentially no-disqualification! He knows that LEO or Budde could get involved!”

 

Knots: “He needs to be careful. We know Xander’s here too. And so is Andrew Raynes and the Beauty Factory. Why are you picking this fight?!”

 

Kane rolls over. He looks around and climbs up onto the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope as Dustin and Dante get up to their feet. He dives off and hits a somersault onto them both. He rolls through. The crowd roars. He then turns and runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running splash onto Dante. He goes for the pin.

Dustin grabs him and jerks him off of Dante and throws him back. Kane rolls through and gets up and Dustin runs at him and nails him with a running clothesline in the corner. He rears back and nails him with another blow. He then grabs Kane and throws him over with a big beal. Kane rolls over in pain. Dustin looks at him as Dante starts to get up. Kane starts to pull himself up and Dustin runs over and nails him with a hard right to the ribs. Kane falls to his hands and knees. Dante then runs over and kicks him in the ribs.

 

Sharper: “Dante and Dustin already starting to take advantage. Starting to just beat down Kane.”

 

Knots: “Hey, he went to fight these two. That was his first mistake!”

 

Kane rolls over. He gets to the ropes as LEO gets up and then nails him with a hard right. He spins back to the ring and Dustin grabs him by the hair and drags him to his feet. He then whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Dustin lifts him up and just launches him into the air. Kane falls hard to the mat with a flapjack and Dustin rolls him over for the pin. Dante just watches.

2!

 

Kane kicks out. Dustin moves off and Dante stomps him in the face and then the chest before the face again.

 

Sharper: “This is just going to be a slow dismantling. Dante and Dustin. Not giving him any room to move.”

 

Knots: “Nor they should. This idiot will try to fly and hurt himself to get ahead.”

 

Dante then steps over him as Dustin grabs him. He drags him up and knees him in the ribs. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Dustin hits a huge tilt-a-whirl slam. The crowd ohs and boos as Dustin goes for the lateral press again.

Kane gets his shoulder up again. The crowd roars. He then turns and Dustin grabs him again. He then knees him in the ribs again. He turns and goes to whip him into the corner. Kane however runs over the top rope and backflips back and takes Dustin down. He rolls through. The crowd roars. Kane rolls over. Dante runs at him and nails him with a hard right and then another. He kicks Kane in the ribs. He pulls him in and goes for a DDT, but Kane spins through and sends Dante in before throwing him at Dustin. Dustin falls back and falls through the ropes and into LEO and Budde. The crowd roars. Dante stumbles back.

 

Sharper: “Dustin knocked through. My sheer luck, he nailed Budde and LEO!”

 

Knots: “You’re kidding me!”

 

Kane hoists him up over his head before spinning him out into the Ha, Ha, You’re Dead. He then goes for the pin.

3!

 

LEO rolls into the ring and slides in. Kane lets go and rolls out of the ring. He then backs up as the crowd roars.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and next challenger to the SCW Television Championship, Max Kane!”

 

Kane backs up and turns as we see Xander Valentine walking down from the back. Kane turns and laughs before he runs along the side of the stage. Dante turns, holding his head in pain as Dustin pulls himself onto the apron. He then looks at in at Dante as Kane continues to head to the back.

 

Sharper: “Max Kane has won this match. Even pinning Dante! The Network here, but he was able to find the opening and did exactly what he needed to do to win it.”

 

Knots: “No one there is happen. Max Kane is loving it though! And he’s got a TV Title shot next week!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as Kane jogs to the back, laughing as we cut away.

Backstage we see Regan Street trying her best not to snap as the camera pans out to show Donovan Kayl standing across from her.

 

Kayl: “Look, I get you don’t like me right now. But with everything they’re seeing happening tonight, and now with Dylan down…I need you to for once to be honest.”

 

Regan: “You think I took Dylan out?”

 

Kayl: “You made it pretty clear you didn’t want him on the team. You’ve done it before and you continue to stew about it.”

 

Regan: “Go to hell Donovan. I didn’t do a damn thing to him.”

 

Regan looks Donovan in the eyes.

 

Kayl: “Then why am I struggling with that.”

 

Regan: “I don’t know. Maybe you’re a piece of crap. Maybe you never trusted me. Maybe you just want to see me rot. I don’t know. But I know I didn’t do that.”

 

Kayl: “Then-“

 

Regan: “And I don’t know who did. Could’ve been the Network. I don’t know.”

 

Kayl: “The Network would’ve wanted it to be shown.”

 

Regan: “Whatever Donovan. You think it’s me. Unless you’re going to try and kick my ass, I need to get ready for a match and a message to Datura.”

 

Regan turns and heads off. Donovan watches her leave. He then sighs as we see from off-camera, Chris Cannon walk over.

 

Cannon: “I hated this.”

 

Donovan: “Had to be sure. If she’s lying, she’s doing a good job about it. I’m sure Trinity is watching. She knows her better than we do. She may be able to tell us.”

 

Cannon: “I hate that we’re doing this now. Katya in charge and now we’re all watching our backs.”

 

Donovan: “Between Dark Fantasy, Beauty Network…Regan…there are times I wish I didn’t see to like hard roads. You call Trinity. Then we’ll check on Dylan.”

 

Donovan and Cannon head off as we cut away.  

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Ace Marshall vs. Ikiro Yoshida comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Cassidy may or may be getting the title shot she earned. But Ace Marshall will face Ikiro Yoshida. Sienna Swann will be watching closely in this match, which will be next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Ace Marshall vs. Ikiro Yoshida

 

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

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Master of the Universe Freddy Mercury was referring to in that song, Ace Marshall!"

The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over it, landing inside the ring on her feet before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring just as Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway.

 

Sharper: “Cassidy made clear what they think about the situation with Dark Fantasy. She wants her title match. We’ve heard nothing since though. Nothing new.”

 

Knots: “That’s only going to make Cassidy more pissed off .Ace meanwhile can blow off steam or whatever he does, but Ikiro is going to be ready to kick his ass.”

 

Red and white lights begin to flash wildly when the opening to “Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett begins to play over the P.A System. The SCW fans rise to their feet casting their eyes to the stage where the curtains part. A sudden pause befalls the arena until a man walks out with a confident swagger in his step, Ikiro Yoshida. He wears his trademark red eye patch with a gold dragon emblazoned onto it along with his long sleeved jacket. A smirk appears on the Japanese superstar’s lips before he spins around once and drops down to one knee, both his arms outstretched while he looks down at the ground…

Phillips: “His opponent, from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan, he is Ikiro Yoshida!”

The fans pop for the Japanese superstar, he leaps back up onto his feet and looks down at the ring. He then starts to make his way to the ring, looking a bit more focused than we’ve previously seen him. He then runs to the ring and slides in. He rolls to his knee and looks out. He backs up and takes off his jacket and hands it off as he starts to pace in the ring. Ace meanwhile gets the microphone from Jason Phillips.

 

Ace: “Ikiro…yo, I’m surprised you made it out here.”

 

Ikiro just looks at Ace with disgust.”

 

Sharper: “What is he doing?’

 

Ace: “I mean I thought you lips were permanently implanted on Sienna’s ass. You do realize she’s craps out of there? Or do you wipe for her too?”

 

The crowd roars as Ikiro lunges and goes for a spin kick to the head. Ace ducks as Cassidy howls on the floor in laughter. Ace turns and nails her with a hard forearm and then another.

 

Sharper: “Ace trying to get under Ikiro’s skin at least.”

 

Knots: “Come on! Sienna has a heavenly ass!”

 

Ikiro goes for a hard right. Ace ducks and knees Ikiro in the ribs. He grabs him and runs her face first into the top turnbuckle.

Ace shakes it off a bit before starting to get up.

He then points and laughs at Ace as Cassidy hops onto the apron.

 

Cassidy: “Hey! That’s mine!”

 

Ikiro turns and runs across and swings at her. She jumps down. Ace starts to slowly stir.

 

Sharper: “Ikiro now mocking Ace Marshall.”

 

Knots: “Not just mocking. He hurt Ace where it counts!”

Knots: “He also went lower earlier. Ikiro did too. There are a lot of options for places to go. He went after the head too. Plan in motion there?”

 

Sharper: “Well if I see him eye Ikiro’s head, sizing it up, I’ll be sure to let you know.”

The referee calls for the bell.

 

Sharper: “Cassidy not going to watch Ikiro keep choking Ace! She’s getting involved!”

 

Knots: “Maybe because of a couple of weeks back when Ikiro tried to put her through the table! Cassidy deciding to blow off steam against him!”

 

Cassidy kicks him again as the bell sounds and Cassidy drives Ikiro in the announce table. She lifts her up and drives her down again. The crowd ohs and Ikiro rolls onto the table. Cassidy climbs up onto the table as Ace coughs, trying to catch his breath. Cassidy stomps Ikiro over and over on the announce table. Cassidy then looks around and grabs him and tries to pull him up, but as she does, we then see Xander Valentine walking out from the back. The crowd roars seeing him

Xander just glares at them before turning and looking at Ikiro.

 

Sharper: “Xander came to maybe finish the job. Paid extra I assume!”

 

Knots: “Ikiro was going to choke Ace out. I don’t think he was going to start and Xander came to do more!”

 

Sharper: “Ace and Cassidy getting out of dodge. They’re not in a position to fight with Xander. Arguably a sign of respect, but also Cassidy, I’m sure doesn’t want to give a reason to lose her title shot! Especially with Dark Fantasy potentially calling the shots!”

 

Cassidy and Ace back away as the crowd cheers seeing Ace and Cassidy. Cassidy just lets out an annoyed yell at Xander as Xander pulls Ikiro up. Ikiro falls to a knee before the scene cuts to black.

The Breakdown logo comes across the screen as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

“Style” by Taylor Swift plays throughout the arena. The crowd roars before starting to boo as we then see Sienna Swann walk out from the back with the Truelove Twins by her side. They all look down at the ring as Laura Steinbeck then walks out with them. She looks at her three SCW clients before Sienna Swann heads to the ring, proudly holding the SCW World Championship.

 

Sharper: “Apparently again we’re not going to Toronto and instead Sienna Swann, our World Champion, coming to join us.”

 

Knots: “Everyone here. Laura, Trueloves. And of course the IronAngel, Sienna Swann!”

 

Laura Steinbeck walks with Sienna. London and Paris continue to head to the ring before Sienna walks up the steel steps. She looks around and smirks, looking out at the crowd before Sienna steps into the ring. She walks forward to the middle of the ring as London and Paris enter and hold the ropes open for Laura. London and Paris then go over to Sienna and pose with her as the boos continue. Sienna holds the World Championship over her head. The crowd continues to boo as Laura Steinbeck asks for a microphone. She’s handed one before Sienna stops her and asks for the microphone herself. Laura asks her something and Sienna nods. Sienna then takes the microphone as she looks around, the crowd roars some more.

 

Sienna: “You may have noticed no intermission. It’s merely another example of just how petty things have become in a short time period. I faced Josh Hudson at Bound by Blood and despite having taken TEN consecutive German suplexes, I found a way to fight back and win. Why? I can outlast everyone.”

 

Sienna pauses for a moment.

 

Sienna: “That should have been the talking point coming into tonight and Spirit Dansby, my good friend, she would’ve ensured you all heard that, but instead, that did not happen tonight. Instead, we have a power grab. Where Syren, in her pettiness, Ravyn, in her shrewdness, and it seems Katya has taken the decision making here and is quote unquote making things right.”

 

Sienna scoffs.

 

Sienna: “I guess she wants to see Syren humiliated to start the year.”

 

Sienna shakes her head as the crowd cheers a bit.

 

Sienna: “How many times do I have to say that I will be your champion until I no longer want to be it? Alistaire Allocco, your first choice, Katya…through your father…dispatched. Alexis Quinne…couldn’t get it done. Josh Hudson tossed away a business relationship for his own selfishness and now he has nothing. Cassidy Carter, maybe…although I would not mind if you forewent her shot. Did you not see what happened before the commercial break? I have my ways to deal with her. But the big questions is who will get their first World Championship shot at the End of the Year Special, likely get so afraid of facing the REAL Perfect Ten, that their nerves will beat them before I do. And then Syren…this was your plan to get your match…”

 

Sienna shakes her head.

 

Sienna: “See I don’t care who is in charge or making the decisions. The fact is that we all know you need me standing in this position when I bring the mainstream appeal. I bring the fans. I bring the high quality wrestling. And frankly, I am the wrestler not just for 2018, not just for 2019, but for SCW’s future for however long it lasts. Syren’s time is over! Cassidy Carter’s time will never happen. And whoever else is put in front of me won’t even have a chance.”

 

Sienna smiles as she looks out at the crowd. Laura then walks forward and asks for the microphone. She is handed it by Sienna as London and Paris step forward, taking their place in the spotlight next to Sienna.

 

Laura: “Exactly what needed to be said. Sienna is a generational talent. Just like the Trueloves are a generational tag team. What else needs to be said there though? The Streets banded together and they could not stop the Beauty Network. Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter, they couldn’t handle the Beauty Network. And this is simple…you believe in giving what should have happened. Give London and Paris their title shot against Redemption…naturally after Bree and Andrew get their rematch. If not, Katya…Dark Fantasy and you will find out how powerful the Beauty Network are.”

 

Laura starts to laugh.

 

Laura: “What am I saying? You’re not going to do anything right. You’re somehow a step backward from your father. But that’s fine. At least we know we won’t get a fair shake. We know you’re listening to old ideas. It just means we will do what is necessary for OUR interests.”

 

Laura brings the microphone down. “Style” starts to play again as Sienna just places the World Championship over her shoulder. Sienna then turns and starts to exit the ring, London and Paris taking a moment to pose as Laura exits too.

 

Sharper: “We figured this was not going to be a kind response.”

 

Knots: “We could be in the middle of some sort of massive turf war. With the Beauty Network on one side. Dark Fantasy on another. Streets on another.”

 

Sharper: “But we don’t know where the rest of the family is. Where is Mr. D? Where is Sasha? What are they thinking?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know, but right now, Sienna has a brave face. I hope she’s ready. She may be put through the ring. IronAngel or not!”

 

They start to exit the ring before we cut backstage.

Backstage we see Katya with a tablet in her hands. She slides some items up on it. CHBK, Ravyn, Syren and Alexander Crowe are also in the room.

 

Ravyn: “Find it?”

 

Katya: “Yes. Just have to get this taken care of.”

 

CHBK: “Interesting how she keeps side stepping one promise she made.”

 

Ravyn: “Really need to keep people to their word.”

 

Katya: “We just need to be careful.”

 

Syren: “Screw it. I don’t care. I just care about one thing. My title shot. And I’m getting it.”

 

Ravyn: “Just took some time. Who would’ve thought Justin Davis would’ve been the catalyst.”

 

Katya: “You should’ve had it months ago.”

 

CHBK: “Hmmm…just thinking about what was just said.”

 

Syren: “You lose brain cells while doing so.”

 

CHBK: “Not Sienna…the Trueloves. Perhaps we do make people true to their word. Trinity and Kennedy said they were not done.”

 

Katya just smiles.

 

Katya: “A great idea. I’ll add that to the list. I’ll have it taken care of tonight.”

 

Ravyn: “Alexander? Zoe? Any requests?”

 

Alexander Crowe smirks.

 

Crowe: “Maybe…What should we give my uncle Chris, hmmm?”

 

The crowd boos as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We see Slayter McKinney sitting backstage, her head in her hands. She gets up and we see Konrad Raab having caught her in this moment as he heads back to his locker room. He walks over to her.

 

Konrad: “Slayter…”

 

Slayter: “Oh…Konrad…sorry, just-“

 

Konrad: “Don’t be sorry. Everything okay.”

 

Slayter: “Just thinking a few things through.”

 

Konrad: “Need someone to bounce things off of. I was going to decompress after my match…or fight…but I’m happy to help.”

 

Slayter: “No. Nothing to help. Just…I feel I’m losing everything. SCW for one-“

 

Konrad: “You know you deserve to be there. I was in the ring with you. I’ve been in the ring with many wrestlers. You’re impressive. I mean that.”

 

Slayter: “Thanks.”

 

Konrad: “I saw Bound by Blood. I came up to you then. But you need to remember, those things happen. It’s about doing things the right way. You do. And you’ll get back on track and win. I just won the TV Title after years of not being sure where I stood. You can do the same.”

 

Slayter: “Thanks again. That helps…”

 

Konrad: “Any time.”

 

Slayter: “I should go get ready.”

 

Slayter gets up and nods as Konrad smiles.

 

Konrad: “Good luck.”

 

Slayter just takes a deep breath as she walks off camera and we cut away.

Sam Raine vs. Regan Street


The arena’s lights cut and as the room falls into complete and utter darkness a buzz starts to spread through the crowd. The lights start to flash in a sequence that resembles lightening. Another moment passes and as the sound of rain fills the air while white and blue confetti starts falling on both sides of the entrance way. The sound of the rain is broken up momentarily as the voice of Samantha Raine is head saying…

“Raining on your parade.”

As the crowd start to react, the sounds of Firefly's “Unbreakable” starts to play through the arena. The crowd just further erupts in to cheers as the small silhouette of Samantha makes her way on to the stage, but she isn’t alone. There is another silhouette behind her clapping his heads. The song’s intro gives way to the chorus and as the song takes a harder edge the flashes of lighting become more violent. On the big screen the fans are treated to the iconic view of Sam as she stands in an empty as it starts to rain on her. She just looks up at the sky allowing the rain drops to pelt her face while lifting her arms up towards the sky. In the meantime, Sam along with the man that can now be identified as Woody Hoyt start to make their way down to the ring.

Philips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, making her way to the ring from Toronto, Ontario, Canada; being accompanied to the ring by Woody Hoyt, she is Samantha Raine!”

Before they start actually making their way down to the ring, Sam raises both of her hands up to her lips and kisses them, bending over towards the fans she acts like she is blowing kisses to everyone in attendance. As they reach the ring, Woody jumps up on to the apron while Sam walks up the ring stairs. He holds the ropes open so that she can climb in to the ring. Woody hops off the apron as Sam goes to the nearest turnbuckle. Which she climbs to the top and once again blows kisses to everyone in the arena.

 

Sharper: “Sam Raine has wanted this match, but I don’t know if she’ll want to face Regan tonight.”

 

Knots: “Hell, she wanted Regan at her best. Tonight, she’s in a murderous rage. That’s quintessential Regan!”

 

The arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela behind her. She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with boos. Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, rolls her eyes and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street, from Santa Monica, California, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”
 
Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring; she flips over the ropes back first to the boos from the fans. Mikaela slides after her. Once inside the ring Regan goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring. Regan takes off her entrance attire and nods to her sister, handing her the gear and she makes her way to the corner while the Hellcat stands waiting to start her fight...
 
Sharper: “Regan Street ready to fight. She wants Datura. She’s angry about Bound by Blood.”

 

Knots: “Flat out said they’d have won if Regan was on their team.”

 

Sharper: “How do you really feel?”

 

Knots: “Kennedy and Trinity fought their hearts out. I know Donovan, Chris and Dylan did too. Regan’s not gone up against Xander or the Trueloves like that.”

 

The bell sounds and Regan heads right for Sam. Regan goes and nails her with a hard right and then another and another. Sam backs up to the corner. She covers up as Regan takes a few more shots at Sam before Sam kicks her in the ribs. She fires back with a forearm shot of her own and then another before Regan goes for a hard right. Sam ducks and both spin around. Sam jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking Regan into the corner. The crowd roars as Sam moves in and shoulders her in the ribs and then again and again. The referee calls for the break, but Sam gets up and Regan grabs her and pulls her out and tries to just force her down, but Sam rolls through to her feet. Regan goes for a clothesline, but Sam ducks and runs into the opposite side of the ring. Regan turns around and Sam jumps up and hits a flying headscissors takedown.

 

Sharper: “Sam takes down Regan. Showing that adrenaline style.”

 

Knots: “And Regan didn’t see that coming. Especially after both just throwing rights!”

 

Sam gets up and Regan turns and Sam hits a dropkick. She hits the mat. Sam goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Sam going for the arm! Using her momentum to lock in that armbar!”

 

Knots: “Regan already falling to a knee too!”

 

Sam keeps pulling on Regan’s arm to hyper-extend it. Regan then lets out a yell and turns and drives Sam into the mat. Sam holds on and Regan steps up to her feet and kicks Sam in the side.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Regan Street!”

 

Sharper: “Regan had the tights! Sam Raine had Regan on her back foot and Regan needing to use the tights to win this.”

 

Knots: “A win is a win, but we know Sam wanted this and hot damn…Regan getting out of there by the skin of her teeth and the win.”

 

Sharper: “Not the message I’m sure she wanted to send to Datura though. Maybe Bound by Blood. Maybe this attack on Dylan, it’s taken her attention a bit!”

 

Regan Street then walks around the ring annoyed as she heads out. Sam then turns to her and starts to get up, showing a bit of a smirk as the scene cuts away.

Backstage we see Chris Cannon and Donovan Kayl step out of the trainer’s room.

 

Cannon: “He didn’t deserve it.”

 

Kayl: “Also in what he could say…in between the pain…he didn’t see it. But he’s confident it wasn’t Regan.”

 

Cannon: “So Beauty Factory? Trinity said the same. Regan was telling the truth. Trinity could tell.”

 

Kayl: “I don’t know. But there’s a lot I don’t know tonight. Whatever happens though, we’re going to find out sooner or later who went after Dylan.”

 

Kayl and Cannon head off as the scene cuts to black.

Backstage, we see Regan walking down the hallway, looking down at the ground as we see Jessica Winters heading over to her.

 

Jessica: “Regan, can I get a word?”

 

Regan just looks at her.

 

Jessica: “Datura and Alexis Quinne aren’t here, unable to be cleared and told to stay home after their hard fought battle and then your attack. Your match against Sam, I’m sure was to send a message but that didn’t end up being the message you wanted. Meanwhile it looks like Alexis Quinne and Datura may have forged an alliance out of this war.”

 

Regan: “Let them. The fact that they’re at home while I’m here, that’s the damage I can do and I will get my hands on Datura in a match no matter who is in charge. And when that happens, I will make one thing clear…Datura made the biggest mistake coming to SCW. And if Quinne is in my way too, that’s her funeral. As for tonight…Sam…you nearly got me. Took you long enough.”

 

Mikaela: “Reg!”

 

Regan: “What?”

 

Mikaela: “You have a phone call.”

 

Regan: “Tell them to screw off.”

 

Mikaela: “You need to take this one.”

 

Mikaela then comes onto camera, holding Regan’s phone. Regan takes it and looks at the screen, not recognizing it. She then brings it to her ear.

 

Regan: “Yeah?”

 

Regan’s eyes widen a bit. She turns to the camera.

 

Regan: “We’re done.”

 

Regan storms off as we cut away.

We cut to another part of the backstage area in mid-segment as we see Dean Black on the phone.

 

Dean: “Slow down…Okay…you sure?”

 

Dean sighs.

 

Dean: “Look I don’t like being in the middle of this. I’d rather talk to your father directly….I haven’t been able to reach him either…..Fine…but there’s a big mess here. You better be ready to clean it up next week.”

 

Dean hangs up. He then looks around and heads off.

 

Sharper: “Who was Dean Black talking to? He mentioned ‘her father’. Was he talking to Sasha?’

 

Knots: “Said about cleaning it up. So clearly SCW’s Front Office may be in overdrive. But again, it sounded like no one has gotten a hold of Mr. D!”

 

We cut to the ring.

Slayter McKinney vs. Ruby Amarant

 

“The Twilight In Your Eyes” begins to play, the haunting melody overtaking the arena as the lights dim and ruby red lighting settles on the stage. Ruby Amarant slowly walks out onto the stage, her eyes slowly roaming over the fans with a cold, emotionless look.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, from Phoenix, Arizona, she is Ruby Amarant!”

 

Slowly she begins to make her way down to the ring, not paying any mind to the fans even if some of them share their appreciation for the beautiful figure walking past their gaze. She slides into the ring and slowly rises to her feet, a smirk beginning to form on her lips as the lights return to normal.

 

Sharper: “Ruby Amarant having to compete. And given the results of Bound by Blood, Aaron is on his own, as we know with Scarlet Grey.”

 

Knots: “Think about what’s going on for him. We got this situation with the people calling the shots. Katya is how that match happened and on top of that, he’s with a woman half the crowd would die to be with and he’s not interested!”

 

The opening salvo of struck and sustained notes of “What Can I Do if the Fire Goes Out” by Gang Of Youths kicks in, the lights flash on and off in time.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Manchester, England, she is Slayter McKinney!”

 

Slayter McKinney comes out with an arm raised, her back to the crowd, nodding her head in time with the struck notes and drum slams before the uptempo drums kick in and she makes her way down the ramp, with a hop in each energetic step, slapping hands with the fans before rolling up on to the ring apron on her knees, gripping the rope and climbing to her feet and doing a quick, on-beat turn to the crowd before stepping in under the middle rope and climbing to the corner turnbuckle for one last pop from the crowd before leaping down, warming up and preparing in her corner for her opponent.

 

Sharper: “Ruby Amarant will be ready. The question may be if Slayter is all there. She’s been perhaps getting nervous as more and more perceive her as a future star.”

 

Knots: “Struggling as of late, but not just that, messing up moves she’s shown she can do well. She needs to figure it out.”

 

Sharper: “And recently Ruby faced Scarlet Grey in her home country, so some scouting has been done by Ruby, you’d think, even if she was not there.”

 

Slayter looks at Ruby. The two circle the ring. The bell sounds. They move forward and lock up in the middle of the ring with a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Slayter turns and moves into an arm wrench. Ruby winces and Slayter jerks on the arm again. Ruby pushes up on the arm and Slayter knees her in the ribs and wrenches the arm again. Slayter nods as she then flips Ruby to the mat. She goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

Ruby kicks out. Both women get up and Slayter moves to a side headlock. Slayter nods and looks around.

 

Knots: “Looking good so far.”

 

Sharper: “And against someone who knows how to get out of those moves as well as anyone. Good start for Slayter.”

 

Ruby starts to pull Slayter to the ropes and fires her across. Slayter bounces off and Ruby goes for a back elbow. Slayter ducks and bounces off the other side and Ruby hits a hip toss. The crowd boos and Slayter gets up and Ruby kicks her in the ribs. She then snapmares her over and kicks her in the back. Slayter rolls over in pain. Ruby then grabs her and pulls her up. Ruby forearms her in the jaw. Slayter staggers to the ropes. Ruby grabs her and whips her across. Slayter bounces off and Ruby goes to lift her up, but Slayter spins through and lands behind Ruby. She then turns and hits a neckbreaker. The crowd roars and Slayter goes for the pin.

Ruby kicks out. Both get up and Slayter grabs the arm of Ruby and wrenches the arm and tries to go for a Judo throw, but doesn’t quite get it. Ruby just rolls through. She gets up and Slayter forearms her in the jaw and then turns and runs into the ropes. She jumps up to the middle rope and goes for a crossbody, but Ruby just moves out of the way.

 

Sharper: “Crossbody, no one home though.”

 

Knots: “Odd timing as Ruby was not worn down a bit.”

 

Slayter starts to get up and Ruby knees her in the ribs. She knees her again and then whips her into the ropes. Slayter bounces off and Ruby catches her into an abdominal stretch before falling back into a pin.

Slayter kicks out. Both get up and Ruby hits an enziguri kick. Slayter drops to the mat. Ruby goes for the pin.

Slayter kicks out again. She turns and Ruby grabs her and locks in a dragon sleeper before pulling her up to her feet. She then pulls back. She looks around as the crowd boos. Slayter struggles a bit and Ruby then turns to go for the Ruby Cutter, but Slayter blocks it and shoves her into the ropes. Ruby bounces off and Slayter spins around her, grabs her arm and hits a bridging tiger suplex!

 

Sharper: “Great suplex!”

 

Knots: “Right on her head! Into a pin!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ruby kicks out. She turns and starts to get up and Slayter grabs her and tries for the crossface chickenwing. She pulls back as the crowd roars. Ruby just keeps fighting, and leans forward. Slayter then pulls on the arm, but loses grip on her chin and Ruby turns and hits a hard forearm. Slayter staggers back and Ruby runs out and clotheslines her down. She walks around. Slayter rolls over and Ruby grabs her and whips her into the corner. Slayter hits. Ruby runs after. Slayter gets a boot up. Ruby stumbles back and Slayter runs forward and goes for the Slayer, but Ruby shrugs it off and Slayter steps back. Ruby turns and hits a straight back kick to the ribs and Slayter falls into the corner.

 

Sharper: “Slayter McKinney going up for the Slayer, but Ruby countering.”

 

Knots: “The scouting there. But Slayter looks pretty good here. The pep talk with Konrad must’ve worked!”

 

Ruby grabs her and pulls her out and whips her across. Ruby runs after and Slayter gets a boot up. Ruby stumbles out and Slayter runs forward and grabs Ruby by the head, but Ruby slides out and pulls her back by the arm and into an inverted front facelock before spinning her out with the Ruby Cutter. The crowd ohs and Ruby hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos as Ruby rolls off.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Ruby Amarant!”

 

Ruby gets up and has her arm raised.

 

Sharper: “Ruby at the end, telegraphing Slayter and caught her with the Ruby Cutter. The pin. The three count.”

 

Knots: “The slide continues. She’s been on fire until the last couple of weeks. She’s just fallen off. Can’t be ring rust? Arrogance? Over-confidence?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. She was looking good until that last exchange and Slayter couldn’t fight through.”

 

Ruby continues to celebrate calmly before she exits the ring and drops down to the floor.

The scene opens up backstage to see Hana Ito with Josh Hudson at the SCW interview area. He just looks around as Hana introduces herself and him.

 

Hana: “Hana Ito here and I’m with Josh Hudson and Josh, you unfortunately are not the World Champion. Sienna Swann able to, in her words, outlast you. But not just that, it looks like you’ve put yourself in a bit of limbo and with the power play we’re seeing at work.”

 

Josh: “Always wondered if one of them would try something. Shame it had to be with Syren and company pulling the strings. Just means this is going to be a lot of BS that I don’t know if I have time for. But the fact of the matter is that no, I’m not the World Champion. Sienna Swann still is. She outlasted me as you said, as she said.”

 

Josh pauses.

 

Josh: “Well, I hope people paid attention. Every time I tossed her back with a German suplex. Every time her shoulders were to the mat. I made the World Champion wrestle and I made her have to be the best wrestler in the world. That…that I’m proud of, even if I’m not the champion. Yeah, I know, that sounds corny. I mean, I tossed friendships and business relationships out to do this. I don’t regret that. I needed to get out of that. But at least…at least I don’t have doubts about Sienna’s ability or focus. Maybe that was the last time I’ll get that close to the title. Time will tell. But right now…there may be one more thing I need to do.”

 

Hana: “Which is?”

 

Josh: “I first have to find out if Justin Davis has a job. I think I should give him what he really wanted…and on his terms.”

 

Josh turns and walks off as the crowd buzzes and we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Katya can be seen in her office as she looks at her phone. She then scoffs before pressing a button on it.

 

Katya: “Screw off sis…”

 

There’s a knock at the door. We then see Marie Jones walk into the room.

 

Katya: “Marie.”

 

Marie: “Uh hi…”

 

Katya: “What can I do you for?”

 

Marie: “Well I’ve been thinking and particularly about my position around here. And well…”

 

Katya: “Look, you’ve had opportunities-“

 

Marie: “I want to support what you’re doing.”

 

Sharper: “What?”

 

The crowd starts to boo.

 

Marie: “I think we need more bluntness and well, I see opportunity with you so here I am. How can I help?”

 

Katya just smiles.

 

Katya: “Well…not what I expected.”

 

Marie: “Good to have a few tricks up one’s sleeve.”

 

Sharper: “Marie supporting Katya in this power trip?”

 

Knots: “I know she wanted to win gold and to get those chances. She’d had them…but this…”

 

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes defeats her at Bound by Blood and Marie Jones now seizing the moment. Is she trying to join Dark Fantasy?!”

 

Knots: “Or just acting like a woman for hire…What can Katya do for her?”

 

Sharper: “Unbelievable! What is her mother Angelica thinking?!”

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

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Salt Lake City, Utah, Alistaire Allocco!”

 

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

 

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco demanded a challenge two weeks ago on this program. He feels he deserves better and well, here he is.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Not at Bound by Blood. But tonight. Time to find out who is going to go up against him. Allocco actually thinks he’s the best in SCW right now!”

 

Allocco smiles as he awaits his opponent.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent…”

 

“Did someone call for...A SUPERHERO?”

“I Need a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler begins to play as the iconic swoosh of a hero's keep can be heard in the background. The lights light up the entire arena as spotlights begin to spin. Alistaire Allocco just turns to the official and shakes his head. He then turns to Jason Phillips and snaps at him.

 

Allocco: “Don’t introduce him. This match is not happening. THAT is not a suitable challenge!”

A white disco ball spins over the ring as The Superhero runs out from the back. He pounds his chest before throwing his arms up to the audience. Stopping at the top of the stage, he puts his left arm onto his hip before raising his right thumb up, saluting it to the cheering crowd. Alistaire Allocco just steps out from the ring and starts to head to the ring, disgusted.

 

Sharper: “Allocco found out who he’s facing. Who stepped up to the challenge? And it’s the superhero that attacked him a few weeks ago.”

 

Knots: “And he’s out of here. Not okay with this at all!”

 

Allocco then storms up the rampway. The Superhero continues to pose on the stage as Allocco walks up the stage and over to the Superhero. He then goes to shove him out of the way, but the Superhero maintains his pose. Allocco then tries again and snaps at him before turning and walking around him and heading to the back. The crowd roars as the Superhero then stops and looks around before shrugging before giving another thumbs up. The crowd roars again as we then cut away.

We reopen in the fine dining establishment that Aaron Blackbourne and Scarlet Grey are in for their date. Aaron is alone, looking around, sighing. He then pulls out his phone before starting to fiddle with it. He texts something to someone before putting it back in his pocket as he hears a door opening.

 

Sharper: “Back in the restaurant.”

 

Knots: “Aaron looks a bit more relaxed.”

 

Sharper: “Probably because Scarlet left. Did she leave completely?”

 

A few moments pass before we see the waiter walking in with the cheque.

 

Aaron: “I thought we ordered dessert?”

 

Waiter: “The lady canceled them. Said she was no longer interested.”

 

Aaron: “I see…”

 

Waiter: “I’ll leave this here for now.”

 

The waiter places the cheque on the table and walks off. A few moments pass before we hear another door opening and Aaron looks up. He then looks down, annoyed. He then shields his eyes.

 

Aaron: “Scarlet…seriously?! Here?!”

 

The camera moves such to show Scarlet wearing a red lace bra and panties set.

 

Scarlet: “I may have canceled their dessert, but didn’t say we wouldn’t have dessert. And in fact, I can tell you that I’m a mouthful.”

 

Scarlet chuckles a bit.

 

Aaron: “That’s it. I’m done. I’m leaving this Scarlet. I have no interest in you.”

 

Scarlet: “I’m giving you a second chance. I don’t give many people that. And let’s face it…this…this is better than anything Liane would ever offer you.”

 

Aaron angrily reaches into his pocket, pulling out a couple of bills and placing them on the cheque.

 

Aaron: “I seriously hope that you never try for a third.”

 

Scarlet then steps over and walks over to Aaron and leans in to him.

 

Scarlet: “Come on…smell my perfume. Think about what it would be like to trace your fingers along-“

 

Woman’s Voice: “Get the hell away from him.”

 

Just then, Liane steps into the room and she just lunges at Scarlet and tackles her over the table and causing it to collapse under their weight.

 

Knots: “Hot damn!”

 

Sharper: “Liane with a hell of a spear! Amazing what she can do if she’s not jumped from behind!”

 

Liane then nails Scarlet with a couple of wild shots to the jaw before Aaron runs over and grabs Liane. The waiter re-enters.

 

Waiter: “I don’t know what you take this place to be-“

 

Aaron: “We’re leaving. Don’t worry! We’re leaving.”

 

Scarlet turns, touching her lip, which has been split from one of Liane’s blows as Aaron and Liane head off as the scene fades out.

The Breakdown logo comes across the screen and we see a shot of Alexis Quinne and Datura embracing at Bound by Blood.

 

Sharper: “Ladies and gentlemen, next week, Datura and Alexis Quinne will both be present. Neither are here because of medical clearance reasons and SCW officials, and I mean for all of this tonight, told them to stay home.”

 

Knots: “So they’re not fired. I mean Blake was for not being here. Casterillo, who cares. Any other hypocrisy?”

 

Sharper: “I’m just curious about what Datura or Quinne may say about what we’ve seen tonight or they’ll be focused on Regan Street. Either way, I’d love to know what was going through their heads at Bound by Blood. We’ll hopefully find out next week on Breakdown.”

 

Knots: “Unless Katya and Dark Fantasy fire them or who knows what before then!”

Backstage we open up to see Selena getting off the phone again. In a trash can behind her, we see the superhero’s costume sticking out of it. She then sighs as we see Hana Ito walking over to her.

 

Hana: “Selena…sorry to bother you. Have you gotten a hold of Mr. D?”

 

Selena: “Nothing. No answer. Just voice mail.”

 

Hana: “Are you going to be able to refocus for tonight with the US Title match?”

 

Selena looks down for a moment, taking a moment to think before turning to Hana.

 

Selena: “I’ve wanted this match for years. I’m getting it tonight. I’m going to be focused on it. No matter what. This situation with Dark Fantasy…I look at it this way…I’ve dealt with having to have my head on a swivel for years. Tonight…it’s just another night and I’m not letting this opportunity slip through my fingers. I will become Adrenaline Champion and I will become a Supreme Champion. Believe it!”

 

Hana: “Thank you and good luck.”

 

Selena nods as she steps forward, redialing on her phone as we cut away.

Katie Steward vs. Derek Adonis

SCW Television Championship

 

Baby I'm coming, better ready yourself
Be looking for me 'cause I'm the real thing

 

“The Real Thing” plays throughout the arena as Katie video plays on the screen. The crowd jumps to their feet giving her her usual pop. After a few moments Katie walks out on the stage wearing her glorious white and gold ring robe. She slowly walks across the stage to the ramp with TJ Johnson in tow. Katie stands at the top of the stage and does her pose for the crowd.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship! First, accompanied by TJ Johnson, from Los Angeles, California, she is the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

 

After a few seconds of the sending her their love she continues her way down the entrance way. TJ runs head and jumps on the apron. Katie walks around ringside and steps up the ring steps onto the apron and enters the ring while TJ holds the ropes for her. She walks to the middle of the ring and undoes her belt taking off her robe for the crowd. She hands her robe off to TJ and poses for the crowd in her stylish ring gear for a second before she gets into her mind set for her match.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward, you heard Jason Phillips, still the Goddess of Desire. She defeated Bianca Evans.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and she’s now earned a TV title shot from that. She has to now get through Adonis to hold it. Earning another title.”

 

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!


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

And there he is! Stepping out amidst spotlights of every colour of the rainbow alongside Cookie and Manvel, the man’s outfit radiates light against a few blacklights slipped in, and he is completely oblivious to his detractors, basking in the glow of the spotlight as he begins his sensual stride towards the ring. The SCW Television Championship is around his waist.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Manvel and Cookie, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is the SCW Television Champion, Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

Adonis heads down to the ring as Cookie holds up a copy of the KABLAMA Sutra. The crowd cheers as Adonis looks around and points to a few females in the crowd. He then heads to the steel steps. As the chorus comes around, Adonis steps up the steps, taking each step with added emphasis. He gets onto the apron and after winking at a particularly friendly female, pulls himself through the ropes. He gyrates just a little bit in the ring as his music fades. Katie looks at him as Adonis takes off his Television Championship. The official takes it and holds it over his head. The crowd roars as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen.

 

Sharper: “Derek Adonis back on top of the Television division and-“

 

Knots: “That just means more eyes on the KABLAMA Sutra. Check your local listings for KABLAMA Sutra: The Series. Everyone is still talking about the Swamp Goddess that he woos and well…you know.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know if I want to.”

 

Knots: “Come on! They’re a hit.”

 

Sharper: “Can’t deny that!”

 

The bell sounds. Katie Steward looks across at Derek Adonis as Adonis struts along the ropes and turns to her. Katie then watches him as Derek moves in and goes for a lock-up, but Katie drops down and around Adonis. He grabs him in a waistlock and Katie then goes to lift him up, but Derek blocks it and hip checks her back. Katie falls to the ropes. Derek turns and lunges at her and Katie ducks another clothesline and bounces off the other side. Derek turns around and Katie jumps up and hits a jumping calf kick. She goes for the pin.

TJ looks on as Cookie cheers. The crowd roars a bit as a “Let Go Katie! KABLAM!” chant begins. Adonis keeps pulling back on Katie.

 

Sharper: “Adonis trying to use his size and strength maybe to get Katie Steward to tap.”

 

Knots: “Wear her down either way. Just working out on her lower back.”

 

Katie reaches up to the eyes of Adonis and struggles with him before Adonis hoists her up and swings her to the side before hitting a bearhug slam. He then goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Superkick! Adonis may be out!”

 

Knots: “She got all of it and Adonis even jumped into it! KABLAMA Sutra won’t help with that. Trust me, the superkick is only used in the crime-fighting positions! Like the Sonic-flying-rodent man…for copyright reasons.”

Katie then gets up and stumbles over to Adonis and nails him with a forearm and then another, knocking him into the corner. TJ cheers her on.

Knots: “The power of the KABLAMA Sutra!”

Adonis looks around and continues to celebrate before the official hands him the title. TJ checks on Katie as Adonis looks around. He smiles and continues to enjoy his win before we cut away.

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Selena Frost vs. Bree Lancaster for the SCW United States Championship come up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “I don’t know what to think could happen in this one. US title on the line. Selena Frost looking for history while Bree Lancaster is looking to retain. And all of this in the shadow of everything that has occurred tonight. Our main event, it’s next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Selena Frost vs. Bree Lancaster

SCW United States Championship

 

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "What I Believe" by Skillet brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that as the lights bounce off the ice-shard cape she wears. 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is for the SCW United States Championship! First, the challenger, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost has been a focal point tonight. But you wonder what is going to come to a head. We hope that this match will be free from interference.”

 

Knots: “With Dark Fantasy? With Beauty Factory? I don’t know.”

 

Sharper: “This has been a night none of us will forget as we’ve been caught in the middle of a family rift and with people’s careers in the middle! Now, Selena Frost is looking to win the one title she’s never held, the SCW United States Championship!”

 

The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill 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, dressed in her black silk robe and her arms spread wide. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her, carrying her US Championship. The crowd boos heavily.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside, she is the SCW United States Champion, 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 hands her the US Title before going up. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. In the ring Bree holds the belts overhead, one in each hand. She then hands them back to Scott and pulls on the silver belt holding her robe closed. The robe opens, revealing her black shimmery gear. Bree pulls the robe off and tosses it aside, where it lands over the top rope. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. Scott is on the outside and pulls her robe off the ropes as her music fades out. The official demands the title. Bree feigns forgetting to hand it off as Selena glares at her. Scott hands him the title and the SCW US Championship logo comes across the screen before we see Aaron Demitra, the senior official holding the title over his head. He turns and hands it off.

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster even forgetting to hand off the title. I don’t know if that’s arrogance, or mind games.”

 

Knots: “Or maybe she’s just pissing Selena off. After everything else we’ve seen tonight.”

 

Sharper: “So are you actually cheering Selena tonight?”

 

Knots: “Damn right!”

 

Demitra steps back and looks at Selena and then Bree before checking on both and then calling for the bell. The bell sounds and the crowd roars as Selena and Bree step out and circle the ring. They then lunge and lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another as the crowd roars and Bree turns into a side headlock. She smirks as she pulls back on Selena’s face. Selena reaches around before Bree jerks on her head again. Selena then pulls her back and into the ropes before firing her off.

Knots: “Bree quickly bailing and Selena inviting her back in!”

 

Selena backs up, extending her arms. Bree just looks at her. (2) She walks around the ring and over to the steel steps. (3) She stomps up them and looks in, telling the official to get her back.
