“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

I'm thinking about the old me

'Cause I've been feeling empty

I never used to be so dead inside

Shots of Selena Frost celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Konrad Raab, bloodied, standing tall in the ring. Following this is Cid Turner punching CHBK in the concourse. Ace Sky diving off the top rope onto an opponent follows.

I think I lost my memory

I can't remember carefree

And all my days turn into fight or flight

Holly Adams standing on Asher Hayes at Tactical Warfare follows before we see Syren hitting the Total Makeover on an opponent. The One choking out Beard before we see Polly Playtime diving off the top rope and landing on an opponent with a crossbody.

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

Holly Adams throwing Syren into the windshield of a pink convertible follows before we see The Happy Farmstead Friends holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Ravyn Taylor standing on the ropes, looking down at herself, follows before we see Gavin Taylor hitting an opponent with the Gavin Taylor Lariat. Glory Braddock hitting the London Plunge on a downed opponents is next before we see Tsunami hitting a running body avalanche on an opponent in the corner.

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear

Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear

'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)

Trying to get back to who I used to be

Where is the old me?

Autumn Valentine hitting the Blindspot on a foe follows before we see a shot of Owen Lee and Daisy Lee on their way to the ring, and then a shot of Kimberly Williams licking a staple gun. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “We are live in the Windy City here for the Night of Champions on Breakdown!”

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd. After a few moments, we cut to ringside where Adam Sharper, Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots sit at the announce position.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here at ringside, joined, as per usual by Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots and tonight, three titles on the line!”

Lyman: “Capping off with the World Title on the line. Owen Cruze, winning at Under Attack, earning this shot, he’ll challenge Xander Valentine one on one for the richest prize in this sport!”

Knots: “And what about tag action. The Happy Farmstead Friends are hoping Deanna Frost won’t be ready for tonight when she and Selena Frost defend their World Tag Team Championship against them.”

Sharper: “We’ll also see the TV Title on the line and so much more here tonight. We’re closing off 2022 in style!”

Konrad Raab vs. Ace Sky

Violence Fetish by Disturbed plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain with his flanged German mace with him, acting erratic with an angry look on his face, rising the flanged German mace in the air, wearing red and black face paint on the right side of his face with a red and black suit hoodie over his head he wears with pieces of ice blood designed all over them. He also has a penguin, walrus and a polar bear stitching on the left-hand side of his chest on his gear, stating Stop Climate Change. He also wears black boots along with Red and Black Gloves on his hands before he crouches down on the floor with the flanged German mace in front of him, looking at the ring with evil intentions.

Phillips: “The opening contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Ice Blood, Konrad Raab!”

After the announcement, Konrad picks up his flanged German mace and slowly walks to the ring with a massive amount of boos before Konrad runs up the steps and goes underneath the ropes. As he's in the ring, Konrad without showing any sign of acknowledgement from the fans, lays the flanged German mace on the turnbuckle, then sits in the corner of the ring with the crowd booing him, having a nasty look in his eyes, flicking his fists as if he's already ready to fight, with ring staff taking Konrad's flanged German mace away, waiting for the match to start as he takes his hoodie off from his head.

Sharper: “Konrad unable to defeat James Evans at Under Attack, falling victim to his own mace, but things between them aren’t over yet if he’s got anything to say about it.”

Knots: “He’s a perpetually angry man who only wants to hurt everyone around him. Of course he’s going to be irate after being beaten at his own game!”

Lyman: “Well Konrad’s going to have to somehow get a hold of himself because he’s going to be in Trios teaming with Alexis Quinne and Selena Frost.”

Sharper: “Raab’s presence on that team already making it an interesting draw, but let’s not forget that James is in the tournament as well.”

A rocket drops from the bottom of the Tron to the stage and a voice counts down:

5!
4!
3!
2!
1!

A pod door opens and Ace Sky walks out in an aviator jacket and his usual in ring attire.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Houston, Texas… Ace Sky!”

He salutes a peace sign and jogs down the aisle way high-fiving as many fans as possible on both sides then he dashes forward leaps upon the apron and flings himself in with a front flip followed by a series of three front handsprings and a rolling savate kick.

Sharper: “Ace Sky also fell short at Under Attack, being the one pinned by Jamison Logan in that triple threat match.”

Lyman: “He’s had some opportunities since coming to SCW and we know he’s got the potential. He just needs to find a way to put it all together, and a win over a former TV and Underground Champion would be a big step in the right direction.”

The bell rings and both men almost immediately charge at one another. Raab goes for a clothesline but Sky ducks it and grabs him in a waistlock, looking for a german suplex. He lifts Raab for it but Raab immediately throws a back elbow that catches him in the eye and causes him to let go. Sky stumbles around a bit trying to clear his vision and Raab grabs him from behind. He tries to go for his own german suplex, but Sky flips through and lands on his feet before stumbling back into the nearest corner, still rubbing at his eye after the elbow. Raab gets back up and charges in with a full head of steam, but Sky jumps up and catches him under the jaw with a hard knee! Raab backs up in a daze and Sky turns and springboards onto the second turnbuckle before flipping back in a moonsault, but Raab charges forward to avoid it! Sky lands on his feet again and runs in only to eat a european uppercut. As he staggers back, Raab bursts out of the corner looking for a spear, but Sky manages to vault over it! He tucks and rolls as Raab skids to a stop, both men turning to stare each other down while on one knee as the fans applaud the action thus far.

Sharper: “Fast-paced start to this contest and neither man has been able to get a definitive edge over the other just yet.”

Lyman: “One would think if the pace stays as is that it would favor Ace as the younger of the two.”

Knots: “That’s assuming Raab just doesn’t get sick of it and start trying to break out the hardware.”

The two men close the distance and look to lock up, but Sky throws a kick toward Raab’s legs and he jumps back to avoid it. They approach one another again and Sky throws another kick but this time Raab catches it, only for Sky to catch him with an enzuigiri! Raab stumbles a bit before trying to approach Sky again, only to eat a roundhouse kick that knocks him back against the ropes, and when he bounces back Sky takes him over with a northern lights suplex and bridges for the pin!

1!

2!

Raab kicks out right at the count of two! Both men get back to their feet and Raab tries a kick only for it to get caught, and when he goes for an enzuigiri of his own Sky ducks it before jumping onto Raab and pulling him back into a crucifix pin!

1!

2!

Raab kicks out again! Sky reaches down to grab him but Raab bats his hand away and quickly rolls out to the floor, pacing around in frustration.

Sharper: “A series of quick pins has Konrad feeling frustrated now as Ace starts to take over.”

Knots: “Don’t know if making Konrad angry is Ace’s wisest move.”

Konrad starts climbing onto the apron but suddenly changes his mind and hops back down before looking under the ring. Sky feels like this match has slowed down too much and starts climbing to the top rope, measuring Raab for something only to freeze when he sees Konrad pull a chair out, holding it with the clear intent of throwing it at Ace if he takes flight. The referee warns Konrad to drop the chair but he just ignores him, instead begging Ace to jump. Sky just shakes his head and starts to climb down, but before he gets very far Raab drops the chair and climbs up onto the apron, grabbing the top rope and yanking on it enough that it causes Sky to lose his footing and drop into a very uncomfortable position as the fans groan at the sight. Konrad grins as he quickly climbs back into the ring and meets Ace on the turnbuckles before taking him off with a superplex! Raab rolls over and makes the cover.

1!

2!

Sky kicks out!

Sharper: “Konrad using the chair as bait to get Ace right where he wanted him and take control of this match!”

Lyman: “Ace actually tried to be cautious, not wanting to win by DQ if Konrad used the chair, and Konrad took full advantage of it.”

Konrad gets back to his feet and looks down at Ace before stomping him in the chest, then once more in the head before he just drops to his knees and starts choking him! The referee is quick to admonish Raab for this and starts counting, with Konrad breaking at four before warning the referee to back off. He pulls Sky to his feet and looks to be setting up for The Iceinator, but Sky throws a roundhouse kick into Raab’s side that forces him to let go before following this up with a rolling sole butt that doubles him over. He charges in and tries to go for a wheelbarrow victory roll, but Raab manages to block and starts lifting him into a german suplex only for Sky to push off and land in front of him. He turns and starts jumping for a kick, but Konrad grabs the referee by his shirt and pulls him in the way, forcing Ace to abort the strike. The referee warns Konrad but his response is to shove him into Ace, who manages to safely catch him before they collide. Sky makes sure the referee is alright, but this distraction ultimately leaves him open to being caught by The Ice Storm! Raab pulls Sky away from the ropes and goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Sky barely manages to get a shoulder up! Konrad is incensed at this and gets right in the referee’s face, backing him into a corner as he threatens him about the count. The referee stands his ground though, and Konrad ultimately throws him aside before climbing to the top rope, his attention on the referee as both sides continue to argue. This ultimately allows Sky to recover just enough that by the time Raab is finally done arguing and ready to fly, Sky is able to surprise him and take him off the top with the Helium Hop!

Sharper: “Konrad’s anger getting the better of him and it allowed Ace enough time to recover!”

Sky gets to his feet and motions to the fans that he’s ready to end this as they cheer him on. He goes over to Konrad, who has started trying to crawl out of the ring, and grabs him by the ankle before dragging him back in. As he does, it becomes clear that Konrad had managed to grab the chair he brought out earlier and dragged it into the ring with him. The referee quickly moves in to pull the chair away from Raab as Ace hauls him to his feet and starts setting up for the Psychedelic Spiral, but as the referee is preoccupied with removing the chair from the ring, Raab takes advantage and punts Sky right between the legs before he can get the leg hooked! Ace doubles over in pain as the fans groan and boo, but Konrad could care less as he grabs Ace and takes him over into The Frozen Pin! The referee turns his attention back to the competitors just in time to catch Raab complete the bridge and slides into position.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings and “Violence Fetish” hits the speakers again as the referee raises Konrad’s arm to jeers, but he just rips it away.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Konrad Raab!”

The referee checks on Sky as Raab leaves the ring before stopping to pick up the discarded chair. He looks into the ring, contemplating his options before throwing it to the floor, mouthing “he’s not worth it” before he storms up the ramp.

Sharper: “Raab picks up the win through dubious means, but I doubt he cares as long as he’s back on track after falling short at Under Attack.”

Lyman: “He’s got some momentum heading into Trios next week, but you have to wonder if his more violent tendencies will plague his team.”

Knots: “I know several people who’d be happy if he decides Trios isn’t worth it in favor of trying to decapitate Selena with that mace of his!”

Bree Lancaster and Datura talk backstage. The SCW Adrenaline Championship sits on the bench behind them.

Bree: “Look-“

Datura: “Stop it. You don’t need to keep apologizing. You won it. You took it to us and you won. I’m not going to angry about that.”

Bree: “That’s good. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure if I was ready.”

Datura: “Now you’re sounding like me.”

Bree: “About that, next week…”

Datura: “Hey, I already have my plan. It’s calling winning and other things…”

Bree: “Other things?”

Datura: “Oh yeah, nothing to worry about. Just going to have some fun.”

Bree: “I don’t know if I want to know. Either way, after this…no matter what happens…even if I somehow get to the end with Syren…let’s give this tag thing a whirl?”

Datura: “Absolutely. Won’t have anything stopping us this time and I got a taste of gold. Wouldn’t mind more of it.”

Bree: “That’s what I want to hear.”

Datura smiles.

Datura: “I’ll be back.”

Bree: “The fun?”

Datura: “Of course!”

Datura turns and heads off as Bree watches her leave as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, Cassie Wolfe stands next to Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area.

Winters: “Fans, I’m here with Cassie Wolfe and Cassie, you’ve had a hell of a start to your SCW career, but your career in general.”

Wolfe: “I take on all comers and I’m ready to roll. Look, I’m just looking to make waves. I’ve been winning gold other places and I think I want to get some gold here.”

Winters: “You will have a big opportunity next week. You’ll be in SCW’s annual Trios Tournament. The winning team sees all three members get a contract for any match they want in 2023. How does that sound?”

Wolfe: “Totally great. And I’ll smash anyone in front of us. Deanna, Randy, they’re my teammates. Deanna seems cool, but with one arm. Randy…he’s a jerk but whatever. He wants to win. Let’s get it done. We can just show that you don’t count us out.”

Winters: “On that note, you’ve been quite busy in your short career. You feel you’re taking on too much?”

Wolfe turns to Winters and shakes her head.

Wolfe: “If I don’t do it while young, when will I? Just going to go pedal to the metal and people can try to keep up!”

Winters: “Well good luck next week, Cassie. Let’s go back to the ring!”

Cassie poses for the camera before we cut away.

Breakdown returns as the Trios Tournament logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Next week, folks, on the last Breakdown of 2022, the Trios Tournament returns. And we have four huge quarterfinal matchups.”

A still comes up on the screen showcasing Kimberly Williams, The One & Adam Allocco vs Konrad Raab, Alexis Quinne & Selena Frost.

Sharper: “Among the matches – Kimberly Williams will team with The One and Adam Allocco to face Konrad Raab, Alexis Quinne and Selena Frost.”

Knots: “And given what The One did to Deanna Frost, add Adam Allocco and Selena Frost on opposite sides for the first time since Rise to Greatness.”

Lyman: “Don’t forget Raab and Williams have a history.”

Sharper: “And that’s just the first of four matchups in the quarterfinals we can discuss. We’ll also see…”

The Trios Tournament logo comes up on the screen before we see Datura, James Evans & Polly Playtime vs. Glory Braddock, Chance Owens & Josh Hudson.

Sharper: “…Datura will team with James Evans and Polly Playtime. They’ll face Trios Tournament specialist Glory Braddock, newcomer Chance Owens, and Josh Hudson.”

Lyman: “Can Glory and Josh work together after their recent issues? You then have team like Datura, Evans and Playtime, three very different people.”

Knots: “Add the unknown of Chance Owens with this big stage?”

The Trios Tournament logo comes up on the screen again before the still for La Pequena Luz, Hairless Penguin & Calvan Greene vs. Nicole Kinneck, Owen Cruze & Ravyn Taylor comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “We can also announce that Xander Valentine has pulled out of the Trios Tournament. We hope to have more on that later, but replacing him – first alternate, Nicole Kinneck. She almost can’t get away from Ravyn Taylor. They’ll team with Owen Cruze. On the other side, the unique team of La Pequena Luz, Hairless Penguin and Calvan Greene.”

Knots: “Talk about being thrown in the deep end for La Pequena Luz. Returning just a few weeks ago and now teaming with Hairless Penguin and Calvan Greene.”

Sharper: “Greene a former winner. And on the other side, Cruze, Taylor and Kinneck could be a team to watch, but Kinneck and Taylor have a long history.”

Lyman: “And we haven’t seen Ravyn Taylor since the Breakdown after Apocalypse. when she was in the ring with Nicole. When her experiment worked out.

The Trios Tournament logo comes up on the screen before we see Sarah Wolf, Syren & Bree Lancaster vs. Cassie Wolfe, Deanna Frost & Randy Ramon.

Sharper: “And to round out the first round, Cassie Wolfe, Deanna Frost and Randy Ramon – I’ll call them Team Rookie as they’re all new in SCW, all starting out as wrestlers in this company this year. But don’t count them out. But they’ll face a very accomplished team with Sarah Wolf, Bree Lancaster and Syren, who will return since Apocalypse too.”

Knots: “Talk about big time. Cassie, Deanna and Randy better be ready. Ramon getting another shot at Bree. But they’re facing a decorated team and the wild card in Sarah Wolf.”

Lyman: “But can they work together. Even Ramon and Wolfe have some history. And this could all come undone.”

The Trios Tournament logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “Folks, it all begins. Eight teams, randomly drawn. Winning team will get contracts for any match they want. And these teams have to manage their own egos to get there.”

Lyman: “And we’ve seen that undo teams in the past. We’ve seen some teams shock us.”

Knots: “Yeah. Team SUP last year.”

Sharper: “Who will get the coveted contracts? We’ll start the journey next week on Breakdown!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments longer. We then cut to the arena to see Colleen walking down to the ring.

Sharper: “What the hell is this?”

Knots: “Well that’s a who, Sharper. It’s Colleen.”

Sharper: “Last we saw her, she was facing Josh Hudson. They drew last week with a double countout.”

Colleen walks around the ring, without her fellow Playgirls. She heads over to the announce table and pounds her fist on it.

Colleen: “Hey! Who’s in charge now around here? Cruze ran off. Who’s in charge?”

Sharper: “What you want?”

Colleen: “Someone roll the video from last week. You see what I did? Do you see what I did?”

Lyman: “You faced Josh Hudson.”

Colleen: “And took him to the limit. Dropped him right there.”

Colleen points at the arena at ringside.

Colleen: “Play it! Play it so everyone can see!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

BREAKDOWN – LAST WEEK

We open with Josh Hudson on the apron. Colleen then runs across the ring and jumps up and catches Hudson in the head while twisting in the air. Both fall back off the apron and land hard on the floor. The crowd ohs. (1) We cut to a shot of Josh Hudson down on the ground. We then cut forward to see both stirring on the floor.

10!

The bell sounds. The crowd boos.

Phillips: “Fans, the referee has counted out both individuals and this match is a draw!”

The crowd boos. Hudson stirs in pain as Colleen rolls over in pain too. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

The crowd boos as Colleen looks at them.

Colleen: “I took the US Champion to the limit. He couldn’t beat me. And I want a shot at him and his title. I want him to prove he can beat me!”

Sharper: “Well I don’t have that power-“

Colleen: “Find me who does! Anyone!”

Colleen turns to Lyman.

Colleen: “You’re a legend. Come on. You have to know who has stroke. Call the founder!”

Lyman: “Look, I don’t have that pull, Colleen.”

Colleen: “What use are you? Talking crap about Polly, Aisling and me.”

Colleen scoffs.

Colleen: “Maybe I’ll just have to go find Josh and make him-“

???: “Hey! Hey!”

The crowd roars as we cut to the stage as Josh Hudson saunters out from the back wearing a hoodie with the SCW United States Championship around her waist. He has a microphone in his mouth. Colleen turns and looks at the stage.

Knots: “Hey! There he is! Don’t even have to find him.”

Hudson: “You have a problem with me.”

Colleen climbs over to the ring.

Hudson: “Heard you’re calling me out. Wanting a shot at this!”

Hudson taps the US Title around his waist.

Colleen enters the ring and nods.

Hudson: “Well, SCW can name the time and place. You got me down. Good for you. Try to do it again in the ring this time. Good luck…because unlike the former champion, I don’t run. I don’t hide. And you want a shot at me. Then let’s see whether you’ll still think so after I’m done again. Book it SCW!”

Hudson turns as “Duality” by Slipknot plays in the arena. Colleen nods before we can see her saying “You’ll regret it, Josh!” Hudson just returns to the back.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson happy to accept the challenge.”

Knots: “The Board can review it then I guess!”

Sharper: “And taking a shot at Glory Braddock. I don’t know how bright that is. They’ll be teammates next week.”

Lyman: “I don’t think they’re swapping Christmas cards, Adam.”

Colleen remains in the ring as we cut away.

Backstage, Jamison Logan is just talking to Ace Sky after his match, trying to help him deal with his loss. Logan nods and turns away and heads over to his gear. He then sits down before reaching into his bag and looking a bit confused. He then pulls out a folded up piece of paper.

Logan: “What the hell?”

Logan looks around before then unfolding it.

Logan: “You kidding me?”

Logan looks up.

Logan: “Hey! Ace! Did you-“

We can hear the sound of water going from the shower as Logan turns back as the camera turns around to show the letter, which just has, typed on it, “You don’t belong here.” Logan then crumples it up and throws it across the room as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, cameras cut to the outside of a locker room door where we see Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO knocking on it. Meowkazawa and Beezlebubble stand with her.

YUYO: “Hey! Cruzey! The only princess, except Cassie Wolfe, is here and demanding an audience. Why don’t you answer? Why YUYO not in Trios Tournament? YUYO is adorable and Trios Tournament worthy!”

Meowkazawa: “YUYO, I hate to tell you-“

YUYO: “That Cruze is a meanie who has no manners. Well…Beezlebubble! Destroy the door!”

Meowkazawa: “Ah….”

Beezlebubble shrugs and walks forward before Jessica Winters comes onto the scene.

Winters: “YUYO. What are you going?”

YUYO: “Stop Beezlebubble. YUYO will go to the people!”

YUYO walks over.

Winters: “Uh-“

YUYO: “Do you not want YUYO in the Trios Tournament?”

Winters: “Well it’s not my call-“

YUYO: “Of course you do. EVERYONE does! Everyone but Cruze!”

Winters: “Well Cruze is no longer in power.”

YUYO: “Please. Cruze is in the main event. That’s power. That’s gotta be it. Probably just hiding from serious issues like-“

Winters: “No, that’s Owen Cruze. Shaun Cruze is his uncle and he’s left.”

YUYO: “Really?”

Meowkazawa: “I was trying to tell you.”

YUYO: “So why am I not in the Trios? And with my new princess friend?!”

Winters: “It’s a random draw. Just bad luck.”

YUYO laughs.

YUYO: “I don’t have bad luck. This is not okay. Meowkazawa! Beezlebubble! We go to war! Everyone will make sure they get the Magical Cosmic Princess in their life and their Trios Tournament!”

She then points forward and runs off screen. Beezlebubble follows as Meowkazawa sighs and follows after.

Reginald Dampshaw III vs. Diamond Steele

Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerges from the curtain. She has a microphone in her hands sings as loudly as the crowd politely looks on. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, from London, England, she is Diamond Steele.”

Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Diamond Steele back to winning ways last week, but a new challenge this week.”

Lyman: “Yeah, and it’s a familiar face, but more for those who have watched SCW a long time.”

The lights go out and soon, and after a few seconds, dark, technical music kicks in.

"And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountains green

And was the holy lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen"

Dampshaw slowly comes out, cracking his neck and stretching his arms before walking down the ramp. His long, black and gold robe billows out under his legs as he walks. 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Ryde, Isle of Wight, England, he is the Time Lizard, Reginald Dampshaw the Third!”

"Bring me my Bow of burning gold

Bring me my arrows of desire

Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold

Bring me my Chariot of fire"

Reginald slowly enters the ring and walks over to a turnbuckle. He climbs onto it and closes his eyes with his arms outstretched. He opens them back up, looking around at the audience before jumping down to the mat. He removes his robe and puts his arm behind his back and raises his other arm high in the air.

Sharper: “Reginald Dampshaw III in SCW again. He was briefly here early in his career. Back now to obtain glory in SCW.”

Knots: “That hunger may make Diamond Steele’s hopes to get back to winning a bit harder.”

Dampshaw looks across at Steele as the bell sounds. Steele steps out and Dampshaw does too. Diamond lunges, going for a grapple, but Dampshaw drops down and then moves around into a side headlock. He then turns and grabs her wrist and turns into an arm wrench. He then lifts up her hand and forces her to the mat. Dampshaw then places his forearm to the jaw of Diamond and forces her down before just going for the pin.

1!

Diamond kicks out. She turns and Dampshaw goes to grab at her, but Diamond slides back and into the corner. Dampshaw slowly gets up as the crowd looks on. Diamond gets up in the corner. Dampshaw keeps watching her. Diamond steps up and Dampshaw lunges, but Diamond ducks down and around and then jumps onto his shoulders. She rolls forward into a victory roll.

1!

2!

Dampshaw kicks out. Both get up. Dampshaw turns and Diamond nails him with a hard right.

Sharper: “Hard right hand. Diamond may have found an option. Can’t really grapple with Dampshaw.”

Knots: “Not unless you want this to be a lot shorter of a match!”

Diamond nails him again and pushes him into the corner. Diamond steps up and forearms Dampshaw with a couple of hard shots.

1!

2!

3!

Diamond steps out. Dampshaw walks out of the corner and Diamond runs over to him and kicks him in the ribs. She hooks him up and then hits a snap suplex. She turns and goes for the pin.

Dampshaw kicks out. Both get up and Diamond clubs him in the back and then again before going for a shoot kick, but Dampshaw catches it. He then pulls her in and just swats her across the chest with a clubbing clothesline and Diamond hits the mat hard. She slowly gets up and Dampshaw grabs her and bends her over before hitting a double underhook suplex.

Sharper: “Hard clothesline and then a big suplex. Dampshaw coming to cause some bruises.”

Lyman: “A rougher style. Hard hitting. That European style.”

Sharper: “And we know Diamond can trade holds, but this has just caught her off guard.”

Diamond turns and Dampshaw crawls over and forces her back down into a lateral press.

1!

2!

Diamond kicks out. She turns and slowly gets up. Dampshaw grabs her and pulls her up. He knees her in the side of the head with a right knee and then another and another. He turns and throws her down into the corner. She falls over. She starts to get up and Dampshaw runs after and Diamond just gets a boot up. Dampshaw stumbles back and Diamond runs out and hits a float over DDT. The crowd ohs. Diamond hooks the leg.

Dampshaw gets his shoulder up. Diamond rolls over and gets up. Dampshaw slowly gets up to his feet. Diamond then hits a straight kick to the jaw. Dampshaw falls to a knee. Diamond turns and climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. She gets to the top and glances back, but Dampshaw then heads over and clubs her in the back. He climbs up to the middle rope and grabs her. Diamond tries to fight, but he just hoists her up and hits the Isle of Plight. The crowd ohs. Diamond rolls through and pops up. She slowly gets up and Dampshaw walks over and grabs her and then hooks her by the head.

Sharper: “Isle of Plight!”

Knots: “He’s not done!”

Dampshaw then hoists her up and turns and hits the Golden Buster. The crowd ohs. Diamond ends up on her back. Dampshaw turns and grabs her and pulls her back, locking in a dragon sleeper before then starting to nail her with a repeated set of blows to the head.

Sharper: “Cracking the Throne. Dampshaw going at Diamond’s head and neck!”

Lyman: “And she could be out. Two hard landings on her head and neck from Dampshaw!”

Knots: “No remorse!”

Dampshaw keeps striking Diamond Steele as she starts to go limp either from the hold or the strikes. The official moves in position and quickly calls for the bell. The crowd roars as Dampshaw gets one more shot in before shoving her away. Dampshaw turns and looks out at the crowd. He starts to get up and looks around. He has his arm raised before the official goes to check on Diamond.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via TKO, Reginald Dampshaw III!”

Sharper: “Dampshaw coming in and making a statement.”

Lyman: “Just pummeling Diamond Steele.”

Knots: “There goes the win streak!”

Dampshaw looks around as he then turns to Diamond and then turns and starts to exit the ring. The camera turns back to Diamond as the official checks on her and a couple of other officials head to the ring.

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage where Jaina Lancaster is with Glory Braddock and Amelia Stone. Jaina?”

The scene cuts backstage to the SCW interview area. Jaina Lancaster is as advertised, standing with Glory Braddock and Amelia Stone.

Lancaster: “Thank you Adam. I am here with Amelia Stone and Glory Braddock-“

Stone: “The United Kingdom Champion. How about some respect?”

Lancaster: “Well-“

Glory tries to stop Amelia, although not with much urgency.

Stone: “No. I’m not going to let more people disrespect you. Josh earlier tonight. Shaun Cruze. We are here to make sure people understand your greatness Glory. And we’re going to the top. You said it yourself. And the United Kingdom Championship deserves some respect on it name.”

Braddock then takes over.

Braddock: “See Jaina. She understands. Too bad too many people don’t. One of whom is Shaun Cruze who ran unwilling to face the consequences of his actions. And Josh…you and I are teammates next week. I’m not happy about it either. But Josh, you can insult me all you want. But this tournament has been mine before multiple times. In ways you couldn’t even imagine. That’s how good my track record is. And if you screw it up, well…I’m done demanding respect. I am going to take it. Just as Amelia has so brilliantly shown. And people will fear Glory Braddock, Amelia Stone…and everything we represent. So Josh, this is your warning. And if you don’t believe me, stay tuned. Amelia and I have many plans.”

Braddock turns to Amelia.

Stone: “So now Jaina…care to outro this correctly?”

Jaina looks at Stone and then Braddock before nodding. Lancaster pauses.

Stone: “Your United Kingdom Champion, Glory Braddock.”

Stone turns to Braddock.

Braddock: “It’s great to have you back.”

Stone smiles as the two walk off. Jaina Lancaster watches them leave as the scene cuts to black.

Backstage, Jessica Winters stands with Adam Allocco in the SCW interview area. Adam Allocco rubs his hands together.

Winters: “I am here with Adam Allocco and Adam, the Trios Tournament could be your ticket to change your fate. Of course, that depends on what happens tonight with Owen facing Xander Valentine.”

Allocco: “Yeah, I’m not putting my faith there. As long as Xander Valentine is World Champion, I’m not getting my rematch-“

Winters: “Why is he so-“

Allocco: “Don’t worry about it! That’s between me and him, okay. Just…Trios Tournament let’s me get around it and I don’t need to worry about Xander Valentine in the way. He backed out. Well, all the more better. I can just step up and lead my team to greatness. Because I’m not going to stopped here. I need this. I need to get back there. I need to get back to that title. I need to vindicate everything. I’m finally at the top and…I’m better than I’ve ever been before. Simple as that. And Trios Tournament, I’ll start the journey next week to get the contract and get me back my title shot. So everyone better get out of my way!”

Allocco turns and storms off. Jessica Winters watches him leave before we cut away.

The lights go out, except for a single spotlight at the top of the stage. The opening chords to “Patient Number 9” by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play.  A haunting voice is heard…

"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"

The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on and Kimberly Williams is standing at the top of the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. She throws her arm in the air, holding the SCW Underground Championship. She then looks around and then stops.

Sharper: “There’s the Underground Champion. Next week, part of the Trios Tournament, but she also has a World Title shot waiting for her.”

Lyman: “Where’s she going?”

Kim turns and heads to the back. The crowd boos a bit. Her music keeps playing. A few moments pass before we see Angelica Jones walk out from the back and sighs. She looks around and shakes her head before she then holds a finger up.

Knots: “Guess Angelica Jones is going to just buy us some time.”

Sharper: “Not like we have plenty of it…”

Angelica Jones waits before we see Kimberly Williams coming out from the back, dragging a shopping cart. The crowd roars as Kimberly keeps pulling out before revealing that the shopping cart is duct taped to another shopping cart. On the other end, Wasley is tapped to the handle “pushing” the cart. Kim runs around and pats him on the head before then pushing. We see the carts otherwise covered by a dusty cloth of some sort.

Sharper: “What in the world is this?”

Knots: “Wasley is pushing the cart without touching the ground! Look at that!”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Knots: “I’m going to humour the crazy person, Sharper!”

Kimberly Williams continues to push the carts to the ring as Angelica Jones reluctantly walks to the ring with her. Kim runs the cart to the ringside area and rams it into the ring. Kim laughs as she walks around and rolls into the ring. She then rolls across the ring and goes to the opposite corner. Angelica then starts to bark orders as we see some of the ring crew starting to lift the cart up, trying to do so without revealing what’s inside. It takes four of them to lift it up over the top rope and into the ring. Kim rolls to the floor and walks over to Jason Phillips and extends her hand. Phillips looks confused, thinking it’s to shake her hand, but Kim then high fives him and demands the microphone. Phillips obliges. Kim takes it as Angelica enters the ring and shakes her head. Kim rolls back into the ring. She then runs over and hugs the top of the cart. She then steps back.

Sharper: “What in the world is this?”

Lyman: “It’s Kim Williams. Your guess is as good as mine.”

Kim: “Well lookee-lookee!”

Kim smiles.

Kim: “Well since I’m standing here waiting until I’ll get my super awesome title shot that Angelica wants me to tell you all that I’m taking VERY SERIOUSLY! I figured I’d come and talk to you.”

Kim smiles.

Kim: “See, I am taking this seriously. This is a special night. I could, at some point, face Owen Cruze or Xander Valentine. Or maybe someone else getting their first singles title shot! I mean I could be like the boss in Highlander, waiting at the end. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! And then I could just BAM and hit them in the face with a cheese grater and set them on fire for fun. But…well…we don’t know when that could happen as Shaun Cruiserweight decided to fly away and we’re just here with questions and no answers. Well, Kimmy has ANSWERS!”

Kim smiles.

Kim: “BEHOLD!”

Kim grabs the sheet on top and tries to pull it off. It however gets stuck. She tries again before Angelica walks over and frees it slowly before Kim throws it off a third time, revealing an unnecessary amount of barbed wire. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Oh good lord.”

Kim: “Oh yes! See, I have a PERFECT match for the World Championship. Something really Kimmy. I knew it was perfect and well…uh…Angelica, mind getting the title in there?”

Angelica just looks at Kim, unimpressed. The camera meanwhile manages to show that there is a replica of the SCW World Championship in there.

Kim: “Wasley may have wrapped it and everything in barbed wire. It was totally his idea. He was sooooo happy about maybe getting a title shot before he handed the shot to me. And well, I figured the LEAST I could do is pitch it. The 10 000 Barbed Wires Match. EVERYTHING is in barbed wire. Me, the champion, the belt, the ring, the air….Can we do that?’

Angelica again looks at Kim stonefaced.

Kim: “Okay, we’re working on it. But come on! All on the way to the World Underground Championship being crowned. We got a W-U-C, bitches!”

Kim then raises the roof at this point as the crowd cheers a bit.

Kim: “And come on, we get to see some people find out what barbed wire feels like. I mean, I know how it feels and it makes me feel alive. But what about Owen? Will he yelp like a chihuahua and led Shaun Cruiserweight know? Or Xander? Will this be his achilles heel? We need this for science. And well, Professor Kimmy is here to test it. And for the World Title. People would be talking about it for YEARS. That’s how serious we are. Because people will be talking about it when I win the title. And stand tall, holding the World Underground Championships. Oh yes…”

Kim smiles.

Kim: “And what are the rules? Who cares? We beat the hell out of each other until someone can’t get up. Who wouldn’t want to see that? Who beats their opponent to the point they can’t get up?! That’s what a champion should do! And again, Professor Kimmy is here ready to start the experiment!”

Suddenly, the opening riff to "The Kingdom" by Bush kicks in. At the eleven second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the PA system, and Asher appears on the stage, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses. The crowd roars as Kim turns to the stage. Asher Hayes looks at the ring and starts to walk down to it, holding a microphone in his hand.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes! The hometown man! He’s here! He’s back in SCW!”

Lyman: “We’ve not seen him since Taking Hold of the Flame!”

Hayes walks down to the ring as Kim looks at him. Angelica does too. Hayes reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps and then walks along the apron and into the ring. He then steps forward and looks around as an “Asher!” chant begins. He then nods as he turns and looks at Kim and Angelica.

Kim: “Are you the new Commissioner?”

The crowd roars as Asher just smirks.

Hayes: “Kim…I don’t have any plans for anything like that. I’m here for something else there.”

Kim: “Do you want some barbed wire? I’ll totally sell it to you cheap.”

Hayes smirks.

Hayes: “Kim…I’m not here for that either. But I am here because you’ve got a shot at something I want. And I’m here to rejoin the line!”

The crowd roars.

Kim: “Wasley?”

Hayes shakes his head.

Hayes: “Not quite.”

Hayes then walks over to the cart and looks down and at the replica World Championship before standing up and touching one of the barbs, flicking it before turning back at Kim.

Hayes: “More what that represents in there. But like you, I’ll have to wait. Owen Cruze, Xander Valentine, whoever gets the end of the year shot…and you…but waiting’s good.”

Kim: “Pfft…boring!”

Hayes: “To you. But to me, to remind people what I can do in this ring. Because there’s one title I’ve not held. And with SCW returning to my hometown. I figured it’s time to stake my claim. And so Kim…I’m here. I could’ve waited until later. But Kim…”

Hayes points at you.

Hayes: “I think you have what it takes. And I hope I’m facing you. Because it’ll be the wildest ride in SCW history…and capped off with me finally rising to the top!”

Hayes turns back as the crowd roars. He looks at the barbed wire that is all over the shopping carts.

Hayes: “I hope you get this. I’ll take a front row seat.”

Hayes turns and heads through the ropes. He then looks out at the crowd before dropping down to the floor. “The Kingdom” plays throughout the arena. Kim watches him leave before turning to the barbed wire before turning to Angelica and smiling. Asher Hayes walks around the ring and heads to the back.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes staking his claim as he said. He’s gunning for the World Title.”

Lyman: “And he’s just endorsed Kimberly Williams too.”

Asher Hayes heads to the back.

Knots: “And her ridiculous match!”

Asher Hayes walks up the rampway as Kim turns as Angelica motions for her to leave too. Kim shrugs, throwing the microphone back. She then falls through the ropes and down to the floor. Angelica exits more normally. Kim and Angelica head to the back as we then see Nicole Kinneck climb out from under the ring. She runs over to the announce table and randomly hugs Jonathan Knots. Knots is confused.

Knots: “What the…”

Kinneck then turns and rolls into the ring.

Sharper: “Ducky?”

Ducky climbs up to her feet and then runs over to the cart before seeing Wasley taped it. She runs over to him and grabs him and starts to pull him free. She looks at him before then turning and going to pull him the other directly only to catch herself on the barbed wire. She yells and pulls off before rolling over. Kim then turns, but Angelica turns her away, thinking she’s going back to do something random. Kim points, but Angelica points to the back, never looking at the ring. Ducky starts to cry in the ring.

Sharper: “Ducky trying to free Wasley.”

Lyman: “Did she catch herself on the barbed wire?”

Sharper: “I think so.”

Ducky starts to bawl, rolling over, and holding her left arm. Kim glances back again as Angelica keeps motioning for her to go to the back as the scene fades out.

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays in the background. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Happy Farmstead Friends vs. The House of Frost follow.

Sharper: “As Ducky realizes the pain of barbed wire…World Tag Team Championships will be on the line, next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Nicole Kinneck thrashing away from officials.

Nicole: “Let me go! LET ME GO ASSHOLES!”

Nicole turns and shoves an official down before turning and nailing another with a hard right. She spins around, the blood coming down her arm from where the barbed wire caught her. Dillusion comes into the scene.

Dillusion: “Get back!”

Nicole: “Stay away! Where the hell is she?! Where is she?!”

Nicole turns and staggers off as Dillusion jogs after her.

Sharper: “I think Ducky may be gone-“

Lyman: “Who’s the she? Kim or Ravyn?”

Sharper: “Another great question…”

The Happy Farmstead Friends vs. The House of Frost

SCW World Tag Team Championship

The crowd roars as jaunty and generic royalty free music begins to play throughout the arena. On the big screen, a unicorn gallops across a beautiful, flowery field, leaving petals exploding into the air underneath its hooves. It gets closer to the camera as it prepares to fly off, but not before evacuating its bowels, which take the form of letters in a bubble font, reading:

Lexy Chapel Presents 

HAPPY FARMSTEAD FRIENDS

From behind the curtain, Dancing Bear awkwardly moonwalks out onto the stage. Following close behind is Hairless Penguin, clad in his mask and a furry black and white coat that runs all the way to his feet, plus a moderately priced steel string guitar held over his shoulder. The two make their way to the center of the stage before Lexy Chapel makes her way out behind them, squeezing in between them to take her place on center stage. She physically and literally presents them with her arms at her sides. Hairless Penguin poses stoically while Dancing Bear flosses. After a moment of fantastical posing, they begin to make their way down the ramp. 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! First, the challengers, accompanied by Lexy Chapel, from the Happy Farmstead, they are the team of Hairless Penguin and Dancing Bear, Lexy Chapel Presents the Happy Farmstead Friends!”

Lexy barks at Dancing Bear to keep dancing as he jigs down the ramp with Hairless Penguin playing guitar along to the royalty free music. Hairless Penguin makes his way up the steps and into the ring, holding his guitar into the air. Behind him, Dancing Bear struggles to get into the ring because he's in an oversized suit, but he eventually gets there. Lexy takes her place on the outside of the ring, searching for the nearest child to remind them to tell their parents to buy some Happy Farmstead Friends merchandise. Hairless Penguin hands his furry coat and guitar off to the timekeeper before taking his place in the corner. Dancing Bear comes along and puts his arm around Hairless Penguin as their royalty free music begins to fade.

Sharper: “Lexy Chapel demanded the match and got Deanna Frost to agree. The rematch for the World Tag Team Championship, the former champions, looking to regain the titles.”

Knots: “They have a bit of an advantage. The champions are down an arm.”

Sharper: “And Lexy Chapel knows it. That was the point. She wants to cause this to hurt the Frosts. Claiming this ridiculous conspiracy.”

“BELIEVE IT!”

The sound of two women shouting the familiar phrase causes the fans to cheer loudly as “Ignite” by Alan Walker and K-391 plays throughout the arena as ‘snow’ falls along the LED screens. From out the back walks Selena and Deanna Frost. Deanna has a cast on her arm. They both wear the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts. As Selena stands on the center part of the ramp, she watches as Deanna runs to the far left, the redhead screaming her excitement to the fans before running to the far right to do the same, a stream of bright red and orange ‘leaves’ following the redhead on the LED screens below and behind them.

As Deanna reaches Selena, the Snow Queen turns to her side, raising her arm towards the ring and her back arm towards the sky. With a smile, Deanna stands back to back with Selena, raising and lowering her own arm to match Selena’s towards the ring, the ‘leaves’ circling around them. At the same time, the Frost wives each stomp their front foot, sending a ‘crack’ along the ‘ice’ to race down the ramp, the ‘leaves’ following it to circle around the ring LED screens!

Phillips: “Their opponents, making their way to the ring, from Manhattan, New York, they are ‘The Queen’s Guard’, Deanna Frost and ‘The Snow Queen’, Selena Frost. They are the SCW World Tag Team Champions, The House of Frost!

Making their way down the ramp, their steps leaving ‘footprints’ in the ‘snow’, Deanna rushes ahead to high-five members of the SCW Universe. Reaching the ring first, Deanna slides in and jumps to the ropes, leaning over them with her arm raised. She repeats this on the other side of the ring as Selena makes her way up the stairs and into the ring. 

Reaching the center, Selena lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more as Deanna drops to her knees and spins around to stop right in front of Selena, facing the audience as Selena does and posing with her arms outstretched and a smile on her face as the ‘leaves’ also encircle the two women over the snowflake. With a slam of her foot, Selena causes the snowflake at their feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice and ‘leaves’ streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue and red sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. Selena helps Deanna to her feet as the audience continue to cheer. Deanna and Selena hand off their titles as SCW official Steve Hollinsworth raises them over his head. The camera focuses on Deanna’s cast as the SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen.

Sharper: “There you see the cast – Deanna Frost having had surgery on it weeks ago to repair the damage caused by The One.”

Lyman: “And you wonder how much Lexy Chapel was involved in the strategy for their match for the challengers.”

Sharper: “I’m more interested in what’s motivating Bear and Penguin. Bear seemed to be alongside Lexy Chapel last week. We’ve seen Penguin more wanting to push himself in the ring.”

Knots: “If he wants to be champion, and not have a headache, he’ll listen to whatever plans have been discussed!”

Sharper: “And Selena and Deanna undoubtedly have been discussing a lot too.”

The bell sounds as Hairless Penguin motions to Bear to leave the ring. Lexy says something to him as Penguin steps up. Selena then steps up for her team.

Sharper: “And Penguin getting the matchup he wants. Selena starting out, presumably to protect Deanna a bit.”

Lyman: “Or more to get the Farmstead Friends to reveal something maybe.”

Selena and Penguin look at one another and then both step up and lock up in the middle of the ring. Selena drops down to a knee and sweeps behind him. She then moves into a side headlock. Penguin reaches around and pulls Selena back into the ropes and fires her off. Selena bounces off and Penguin gets up and shoulders her down. He runs into the ropes. Selena rolls toward him. Penguin then somersaults over her. He then gets up, smiling and runs at Selena. Selena sidesteps and shoves him into the ropes. Penguin bounces off and Selena hits an arm drag. Penguin rolls through and gets up. Selena hits a hip toss. Penguin gets up again and Selena jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking him down. He rolls to the floor. Lexy walks over and snaps at him.

Chapel: “Come on! You wanted to start. You wanted this. Take it to her! Blow the conspiracy up!

Selena looks at Penguin as Penguin walks around the ring a bit.

Sharper: “Chapel already riled up. The emotions running high.”

Knots: “Just for very different reasons.”

Penguin then hops onto the apron. Chapel motions to him. Penguin then enters the ring and runs at Selena. Selena drops down and hits a leg sweep. Penguin hits the mat. He rolls over and Selena grabs him and pulls him up, forearming him in the jaw once and then again before grabbing him whipping him into the ropes. Penguin bounces off and Selena goes for a clothesline. Penguin jumps up and into a crucifix, before then pulling her down into a variation of a sunset flip.

Selena kicks out. Both get up and Penguin hits a jawbreaker. Selena stumbles back to the House of Frost corner. Deanna tags herself in. She slowly gets up as Penguin looks at her. Chapel points at the arm.

Chapel: “The arm! The arm! Go for it!”

Penguin glances back before turning back. Deanna just steps up and kicks Penguin in the ribs. She then nails him with another kick before turning and running into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a crossbody, connecting.

Sharper: “Deanna not hesitating at all.”

Lyman: “She wants to retain the titles. And right now, that arm is protected, a result of the cast.”

1!

Penguin kicks out. Both get up and Deanna kicks him again. She then grabs him, but Penguin drops down, pulling her by the tights into the ropes. Deanna snaps back and rolls over. Penguin gets up as Chapel again points to the arm, but Penguin ignores it and grabs Deanna, pulling her up and running her face first into the corner. Penguin then nails her with a hard forearm shot and then another before whipping her across the ring. Deanna hits the corner and Penguin runs after and jumps up and hits a splash. Deanna steps forward and Penguin throws her to the mat, going for the pin.

1!

2!

Deanna kicks out. Penguin gets up and turns, grabbing Deanna not by her injured arm, but her totally fine arm and wrenching it. He drags her over to the Farmstead corner and tags in Bear. Bear enter the ring and then just throws himself at Deanna, knocking her down. Penguin exits as Chapel walks over and starts to share strategy.

Sharper: “Chapel right to Penguin as he tags in Bear.”

Knots: “She doesn’t look happy. I mean he went for the arm. Just not the right one. Maybe Penguin’s can’t see casts!”

Lyman: “Maybe Penguin doesn’t want to go that route.”

Deanna rolls over and gets up and Bear clubs her in the back. Chapel turns and moves to the apron, nearly climbing up. She’s told to get down as Chapel tells Bear to go for the arm. He obliges, going to the cast and grabbing it and dragging her to the ropes. He knees her in the ribs before trying to use his bear paws, through the costume, to figure out a way to take it off. He paws at it before Deanna nails him with hard right to the snout and then kicks him in the shin. He yelps and jumps in pain before turning around as Deanna runs into the ropes, reaching out, tagging in Selena. Deanna then runs at Bear and hits a sliding dropkick to his knees. Bear falls face first to the mat. Selena springboards to the top rope and hits a guillotine leg drop to the back of his head.

Sharper: “Double team by the champions!”

Knots: “Maybe not have the pawed individual implement the strategy. House of Frost quickly taking advantage. Leg drop!”

Sharper: “And Selena going right for the pin.

Selena rolls Bear over and hooks the leg.

Bear kicks out. Selena rolls off. She gets up as Bear starts to get up. Selena kicks him in the back. Bear falls forward into the ropes, bouncing back and into Selena who jumps up and dropkicks him in the back of the head. Bear rolls over and Selena drags him up and then runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a spinning heel kick. She goes for the pin.

1!

Bear swats her off and rolls over. Bear rolls over and crawls to the corner. Selena walks over to him and grabs him and clubs him in the back. She clubs him again and Bear then swings wildly, catching her in the side of the head. Selena stumbles back and shakes the cobwebs out. She turns and runs back, but Bear moves out and spins around as Selena hits the corner chest first. Bear then runs at her and jumps up and hits a running senton backsplash into her, causing her to awkwardly fall into the corner. Bear then, instead of going for the pin, staggers over to Deanna and nails her with a hard right. He then reaches for her arm as she falls onto the apron. Bear tries to get at it before Selena staggers up. Deanna stirs too and Bear turns to Lexy.

Sharper: “Bear going for Deanna! Focusing on the plan!”

Lyman: “Why focus on the plan when you have a pin?!”

Knots: “Guess Bear is fully convinced. Penguin focused on competing. Bear focusing on Chapel’s plan. And I don’t know how smart that is. I mean, it’s Chapel’s plan!”

Lexy throws her arms up and Selena runs up behind Bear and jumps up and hits a running boot to the back of his head. Bear falls back into the ring. Deanna turns and reaches out. Selena looks at him and then tags her in.

Sharper: “And Deanna wants some revenge!”

Deanna enters and Bear gets up and Deanna runs at him and nails him with a running shining wizard. The crowd ohs. Deanna turns and stomps him in the face and then the chest and then the back. Bear rolls over to the ropes. He covers up as Deanna stomps away on him and then spins around as the crowd roars. Deanna then turns to Lexy before pointing to her arm.

Deanna: “You want to come for this.”

Deanna turns and runs over and jumps to the ropes and hits a slingshot elbow drop to Bear. She then grabs Bear and drags him up and then goes to pull him in. Bear however manages to use his weight to push forward, spearing her back into the corner. Penguin then tags himself in and climbs to the top rope as Deanna is pinned. The crowd boos as Penguin spins and dropkicks her in the face. The crowd ohs as Deanna falls to the mat.

Sharper: “Deanna letting the emotions get her. She had Bear, but Bear used the one advantage he had.”

Knots: “He can climb trees!”

Sharper: “No Jon, his weight.”

Knots: “Now we’re fat-shaming the poor bear!”

Lyman: “And Penguin with a hell of a dropkick, showing his agility and growing confidence in the ring.”

Deanna stumbles out as Bear lets go and Deanna falls to the ropes. Bear turns as Penguin starts to get up. The official tells Bear to exit as Lexy runs over to the ropes and grabs Deanna’s arm, trying to go for the cast and starting to pull at it before hammering on it twice. Penguin then runs over and grabs Deanna as Lexy backs up as the official turns. Selena points to Lexy. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Good lord! Lexy Chapel just going after Deanna’s arm.”

Knots: “And I think Penguin actually saved her!”

Penguin turns and throws Deanna into the ropes. She bounces off and Penguin suddenly runs at her, grabbing her head and running up the ropes, spinning through into a bulldog. He turns and goes for the pin.

Deanna gets her shoulder up. She turns and Penguin grabs her. Lexy keeps prodding for Penguin to go for the arm, but Penguin kicks he ring the ribs and whips her into the corner. Deanna winces and Penguin scoops her up and slams her down before turning and climbing up to the top rope. Selena runs over to him, but Penguin turns and just throws herself at her with a shoulder block. Selena hits the apron and Penguin falls to the floor. He rolls through in pain.

Sharper: “Selena running interference and Penguin saw it.”

Knots: “Jesus!”

Lyman: “He hit his Cold Shoulder, but just hurt the momentum!”

Bear motions for Penguin to get up. (1) Penguin winces and turns and looks around. (2) He then looks out at the crowd who gives him a mixed reaction. (3) He looks around and rolls back into the ring. He turns around and Deanna grabs his head and hits the Spring Fling DDT.

Sharper: “Selena’s distraction worked!”

Deanna turns and hooks the leg.

Penguin gets his shoulder up. The crowd ohs. Deanna turns and rolls over. Selena crawls to the corner. Deanna then grabs Penguin and pulls him up and runs him into the corner. Penguin turns and Deanna shoulders him in the ribs once and then again and again. Deanna turns and goes to whip Penguin across. Penguin spins through and sends Deanna in. Deanna bounces out as Penguin turns and runs at her, but Deanna hits a running front dropkick to avoid landing on her bad arm. Penguin falls back and rolls through and into Bear. Bear tags in. Deanna gets up and Bear runs at her and hits a running body avalanche attack. The crowd ohs. Deanna lands spread eagle. Bear sees this and turns and runs at her and jumps up and hits a splash on her injured arm. Deanna pulls the arm in and winces in pain. Bear then grabs at the arm, trying to pull it back up and then just hammers away on it before Deanna pulls away.

Sharper: “Bear smelling blood. Going for the arm.”

Knots: “And Deanna landed and left it open. She’s been smart so far. Now it’s a different game.”

Bear gets up and grabs her. Selena looks on and Bear pulls on Deanna’s arm before clubbing her in the back and then again before just grabbing her and ramming her back into the corner. Bear backs up and then runs at Deanna and splashes her in the corner. Deanna falls to a knee. Lexy looks at the arm. Selena spins around the ringpost to make sure Chapel doesn’t get involved. Bear then walks over and grabs at the injured arm, pulling it against the middle rope, pulling on it.

Bear lets go and backs up. Deanna starts to get up as Bear then runs back at her, but Deanna gets a knee up. Bear stumbles out. Deanna then walks along the ropes. Bear turns back and runs at her, but Deanna pulls the top rope down. Bear goes up and over, landing in front of the announce table. (1) She turns and dives, tagging in Selena. Selena climbs to the top rope and glances back. (2) The crowd roars as Selena dives off with a top rope moonsault onto Dancing Bear!

Sharper: “Selena Frost! From the top!”

Knots: “The House of Frost needed something big. They got it!”

Lyman: “And again, Deanna and Selena having this second sense of what they’re thinking. Earlier Selena ran distraction. Now this one, Deanna setting up Selena! Now get Bear back in the ring!”

Sharper: “Penguin and Bear meanwhile using different strategies and you can see Lexy Chapel’s frustration!”

Knots: “Or the conspiracy is just unfolding!”

Sharper: “Oh don’t start!”

Selena rolls over. (1) Lexy yells at Bear to get up. Selena grabs at the announce table and starts to get up. (2) Selena turns and looks at Lexy before turning to Bear. Bear rolls over. (3) Selena drags him up and manages to roll him into the ring. (4) Selena rolls in after. Lexy runs over and geos to grab at her, but Selena turns and kicks her off. Dancing Bear tries to crawl to Penguin as he extends his arm, but Selena gets over and grabs Dancing Bear and pulls him back. Bear yells at her to get off as Selena turns and tags in Deanna. Bear kicks Selena off. She falls back. Deanna climbs to the top rope. Bear tries to crawl away, but Selena runs over and jumps up and elbows him in the back. She rolls over. Deanna dives off the top rope with an elbow drop. She rolls through. Selena then turns and grabs Bear as Bear pops up, holding his back only to hit the Paydirt, which Deanna uses to get extra momentum to complete the Coronation. Penguin enters and runs at Deanna who goes for the pin, but Selena nails him with a hard right and then another.

Sharper: “Coronation. House of Frost just overwhelming Bear. He couldn’t get Penguin in!”

Lyman: “Even with Lexy getting a brief assist!

1!

2!

3!

Selena knocks Penguin out of the ring. Lexy turns and throws her arms up in the air in frustration. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, and still, SCW World Tag Team Champions, Selena Frost and Deanna Frost, the House of Frost!”

Sharper: “The Frosts retain despite whatever plan Lexy and Bear were using.”

Knots: “If only Penguin was part of it.”

Sharper: “Deanna’s arm may be in pain, but she’s still champion!”

Lyman: “And Lexy Chapel is beside herself!”

Penguin looks up from ringside as Lexy Chapel storms over and looking at the ring. Selena and Deanna are handed their World Tag Team Championships. They hold their titles over their head as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Still champions. Lexy Chapel will have to go back to the drawing board.”

Knots: “She’s right now staring a hole through Penguin!”

Selena and Deanna now play to the crowd, but not before Selena checks on Deanna and her arm. She nods and looks around before we cut to the stage, where we now see The One watching. She just applauds calmly. Selena turns and sees this. She stops and turns and gets Deanna’s attention. Deanna turns and sees The One. She then steps forward. The One continues to applaud.

Sharper: “And The One, the woman who injured Deanna Frost, watching from the stage.”

Lyman: “She watched the whole match and looks like The One isn’t done with Deanna.”

Knots: “She wished her luck. Guess it helped.”

The scene cuts away.

Backstage, we see James Evans backstage. He’s on his phone, quickly finishing sending a text and then putting it down. He then looks up and then sighs. The camera pans out to see Datura leaning against the wall, rocking against it, clearly trying to get his attention.

James: “Datura…”

Datura: “Hi.”

James: “You know I’m taken.”

Datura: “Oh yeah…just I’m remembering how hot and bothered you got me when you wanted to face me when I had gold around my waist. Still think that way?”

Datura leans back.

James: “If you want a match, I’ll give you one.”

Datura: “Well we may have to wait. We’re partners next week. And since we got to know each other so well at Ducky’s little birthday bash.”

James: “Uh-huh.”

Datura: “Well we can find out what makes the other one tick too.”

James: “You want to make this harder?”

Datura: “Just more interesting. I just wanted to make sure you didn’t just want to face me because of my gold. Because I wouldn’t like that.”

James: “I don’t really care there.”

Datura: “Your call.”

Datura turns and heads off as James watches her leave and we cut away.

Sarah Wolf vs. Alexis Quinne

"When I Was Queen" hits the PA system, drawing boos from the audience. Sarah Wolf saunters through the curtains, glancing around and sneering. She twist her head to left and right, stretching out her wrist. Satisifed, she begins her stroll down the ramp.

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Nowhere, this is Sarahhhhh Wolf!

More boos are heard. Sarah meticously walks towards ringside, licking her lips. Once she does get ringside, she stretches out her left hand, clining onto the middle rope, and then using her right hand to grab hold of the right. Pulling herself knees first on the apron and then slowly rolling inside the ring, Sarah rushes back to her feet, giving the referee a death glare. Her music shortly fades as she retreats o her corner.

Sharper: This is Sarah Wolf's first match since losing in a brutal, physical match with Kimberly Williams.

Knots: Nothing screams brutal like getting pushed off a stage into a table.

Lyman: For sure. This should be an interesting match. Sarah is a very vioent wrestler. Doesn't have much of a traditional style. Her mindset is just to hurt you. Alexis Quinne, also very unique with the cradles and the different angles she attacks. But she also can get down and dirty and bend the rules.

The eyes all focus on the stage. The lights grow dim. Opening strum of Rage Against the Machine's Calm Like a Bomb plays. White house lights illuminate the ramp.

Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
FEEL THE FUNK BLAST

The house lights turn blue, red, green, etc. Alexis Quinne steps out through the curtains. She is dressed in a black and red baseball jersey along with a matching sugar mask with white trim. The jersey has "VOVAYGERS" plastered in the front. Alexis slowly turns around, revealing "Quinne" on the back and the number 0 underneath. While doing so, she removes her mask, before turning back around. Quinne starts heard down to the ring. 

Phillips: Coming down to the ring, from San Francisco, California...This. Is. Alexis Quinne!

Alexis tosses her mask into the crowd while approaching the ring. She extends her arms, clenching her fist, which occasionally touch some of the fans. Reaching ringside, the camera does the classic rotation that it used to do for her entrances. She gets to ringside and faces the audience. The crowd roars. Alexis ascends up the steel steps. She rest her head on top of the turnbuckle before climbing up the turnbuckle and raises her fist in the air. The crowd cheers and Alexis peers at the crowd She jumps into the ring and takes off her jersey. Suddenly, Sarah Wolf charges while Quinne's back is turned away from her, forearming her in the back of the neck! The crowd boos and Quinne's face smacks the top turnbuckle!


Sharper: Wolf!

Knots: She wants to get this party started!

Lyman: Quinne took her eyes off her for a split second and is now paying the price.

The bell rings and Sarah mothers Quinne with right hands, sinking the latter further and further down the turnbuckle. The referee approaches Sarah, instructing her to stop. Sarah doesn't relent, wrapping her hands around the neck of Quinne and sqeezuing. Quinne fails her arms, grasping for air. The referee towers over both, starting his count;

1!

2!

3!

4!

Sarah turns her body and snaps at the referee. The ref takes a few steps back. Sarah turns back to Quinne and starts raining down punches to the side of her head. Quinne raises up her arms and covers her face. Sarah seethes, contuining to attack. The ref counts again;

1!

2!

3!

4!

Sarah lets go before reaching down, grabbing the right ankle of Quinne and dragging her into the middle of the ring. From there, Sarah mounts Quinne, punching her once more. Quinne remains covered up. The referee looks on. Quinne tries to squirm her way from underneath Sarah but to no avail. Sarah eventually lets go and stands up. She looks around and the crowd boos.

Lyman: Wolf is just pounding Quinne. Not giving up an inch for breath. 

Sharper: There's that ultraviolent nature that we touched among earlier. Sarah does not allow the rules to affect how nasty and vicious she can be.

Knots: And she's practically a giant compared to Quinne. So there's not much she can really do here! She's going to get cooked!

Sarah observes Quinne crawling to the ropes. The crowd chants "A-Lex-is". Sarah then punt kicks Quinne hard to her midsection. Quinne immediately clutches her gut, rolling over until she's through the bottom rope and to the outside. Her body makes a thud on the mat. Sarah stalks her, choosing to roll out of the ring in pursuit. When she does, unbeknownst to her, Quinne has crawled underneath the ring. Sarah eventually sees the absence of Quinne and flings the apron covering up until it lands on the beam, getting a birds eye view as to where Quinne is. She then circles around ringside until she's on the other side. When she pulls up the apron, she quickly puts it down with an incredulous look on her face. Suddenly, the crowd roars as Quinne emerges from the side of the apron towards the ramp way. Quinne the slides into the ring, which Sarah spots. Sarah joins her in the ring and Quinne blast her with a hard forearm!

The crowd roars as Sarah stumbles into the corner and Quinne delivers forearm shot after shot. Quinne reaches up and starts raking Sarah's eyes, drawing a warning from the ref. Quinne doesn't turn to the ref, instead uses her flexibility to extend her right foot and place it directly on the neck of Sarah. The ref counts down as Quinne chokes her;

1!

2!

3!

4!

Quinne lets go, right before elevating to the second rope, leaning down and biting the top of Sarah's forehead!

Lyman: Look at Quinne!

Sharper: Alexis has never been shy to use dirty tactics. She may not be a much of a rulebreaker as she was in the past, but she always has this in her.

Knots; This match isn't for the faint of heart that's for sure!

Sarah is heard yelling a bit while Quinne's teeth remains on her forehead. The referee counts down;

1!

2!

3!

4!

Quinne lets go. Sarah then shoves her forward, sending Quinne back first onto the mat. However, she rolls backwards and gets to her feet. Sarah sprints towards her and goes for a Big Boot. Quinne slides underneath the foot and gets back to her feet behind Sarah. Sarah then swings her arm backwards in a wild fashion, clipping the side of Quinne's head with her elbow. Quinne drops to the canvas and the crowd boos. Sarah takes a moment to tend to her head before turning around to Quinne. She then deivers a few hard kicks to the mall of Quinne's back. Quinne yelps in pain before Sarah leans down and starts clobbing the back of her neck with clubbing forearms. The referee pulls Sara away from Quinne. Sarah cocks her fist back, mouthing off to the ref. The ref plants firmly in front of Sarah, repreminding her.

Sarah then turns back to Quinne and slowly pulls her to her feet. She delivers a hard right hand that sends Quinne to the ropes. She grabs the back of Quinne's head and grinds her eyes through the top rope. The ref gives a glare to Sarah as she drops Quinne to the mat. Quinne stirs, shielding her eyes in pain. Sarah gives another kick, this time to the ribs of Quinne. She then brings Quinne to her feet. Quinne then surprises Sarah, thumbing her in the eye. The crowd roars as Sarah stumbles backwards, blinded.

Knots: These two are breaking every rule in the book. Geez.

Sharper: Thumb to the eye by Quinne there. Tis has become a fight more than a wrestling match.

Lyman: Sarah doesn't care about the rules. Quinne, if pushed, has no problem wrestling like this. This is a mud fight.

Quinne then charges and dropkicks Sarah to the turnbuckle! The crowd oohs as she hit the back of her neck on the top turnbuckle. Sarah slumps in the corner and Quinne, holding her ribs, doesn't waste time. Quinne rams her head multiple times to the head of Sarah, drawing roars from the crowd. Quinne yells while doing so. However, Sarah catches her knee. She gives a wicked smile, picking herself up. Quinne hops on one leg before slapping Sarah hard across the face. The crowd oohs before Sarah cocks back her arm and delivers a hard clothesline to the chest of Quinne.

Knots; Good god! She took her head off!

Lyman: Quinne getting a little too aggressive and got leveled.

Sharper: Simon you described this match perfectly. This is a mud fight.

Lyman: Neither have made a pin attempt either. I think Wolf set the tone that this was going to be a fight. And Quinne is returning the favor. I think this actually fits Sarah but Quinne is so creative and willing to get dirty, who knows.

Sarah holds the top of her head, trying to maintain balance on her feet. Quinne stirs, with some bruises showing up on her arms. Sarah shakes her head a bit before yanking Alexis' hair. Bringing her up up her feet, Sarah gives a chop to the throat of Quinne. Quinne collaspes to the mat, holding her throat. The taller Wolf pulls her up again. Quinne then stomps on Sarah's foot, releasing her grip. Sarah grits her teeth and advances towards Quinne, who reaches up and gouges at her eye. Sarah is once again blinded. Quinne winces with her every step, but peddles herself to the corner. She then charges, hitting a running knee to Sarah's chin; shades of Holly Adams.

Sharper: Was that the Blonde Ambition?

Lyman: The way she hit it...looks exactly like that.

Knots: Why is she so obsessed with her? You forced her to go into her off-season! You won! 

Sarah bounces off the ropes and on the ricochet, Quinne jumps up in an huricanara but then contorts her body on the way down, pinning her with her back away from Wolf; the Nico Latch!

1!

3!

Quinne rolls off, panting on the canvas as the crowd roars! "Calm Like a Bomb" hits the PA system as Wolf remains on the mat as well.

Phillips: Here's your winner....Alexis Quinne!

The ref walks over to Alexis before helping her to her feet. he raises her head as she looks out to the crowd, clearly battered but with a wry expression on her face.

Sharper: What a wild match but Alexis Quinne picks up the deuce.

Lyman: You won't mistake that for a wrestling clinic. But what about Quinne. Using a move from Holly Adams' playbook and then that huricanrana cradle thingy? Have never seen anything like that.

Sharper: I'm receiving word that she calls that the Nico Latch.

Knots: Whatever. She's now stealing moves from other people! That's the real story. What has Holly Adams done to her?

Alexis sits back down on the canvas, holding her head in pain. She then gives the crowd a thumbs up, sticking her tongue out. Wolf starts to stir. Quinne gingerly rolls out of the ring and then weakly up the ramp. She salutes the crowd before heading to the back.

Breakdown returns as we see Lexy Chapel walking into the Lexy Chapel Presents locker room on her phone.

Chapel: “Get me another meeting. This is getting bigger!”

Chapel hangs up and then turns off camera where Hairless Penguin and Dancing Bear are sitting in the corner.

Chapel: “Okay…what the hell happened out there? Did Deanna hit Bear with the cast? She did! She did hit her with the cast?’

Bear: “Oh…oh yeah! Yeah! She did-“

Penguin: “Bear…she didn’t. She used her other arm.”

Bear: “She knows witchcraft! Didn’t Holly-“

Chapel: “SORCERY! Better than witchcraft. Holly knew nothing! Okay, I’m arranging another meeting. We’re going to stop this conspiracy-“

Penguin: “Lexy…we lost. We lost fair and square.”

Chapel just looks at Penguin. She then steps forward to get in his face. She then turns her head, seemingly looking him up and down. Penguin looks a bit confused.

Bear: “Dude. I think she likes you. You too…heh-“

Penguin: “Uh…Lexy-“

Chapel: “Did they get to you? Is the CONSPIRACY COMING INTO THIS ROOM? ENTERING THE FARMSTEAD?!”

Penguin: “What?! No…just-“

Chapel: “You didn’t seem to have that killer instinct. Late to get in the ring. Not going after the arm. Maybe we need to change the creative for the Farmstead Friends. Focus on taking advantage of opportunities. Being decisive. Good qualities for kids to learn. And you!”

Chapel turns to Bear.

Bear: “Me? What did I do?”

Chapel then gets out her phone, quickly tapping on it.

Chapel: “We need you to start to be carrying your way. Yes, you dance a mean dance, but need to dance meaner! MEANER!”

Chapel keeps fiddling as Bear and Penguin look at each other, confused. Finally, we hear a chirp from a phone.

Chapel: “Get your phone.”

Bear looks around and turns and reaches over, grabbing his phone. He holds it up and then paws at it, unable to use it with his paws.

Penguin: “Give me that.”

Penguin grabs it and unlocks it.

Penguin: “Movie tickets?”

Bear turns to Lexy.

Bear: “We going out on a date?”

Bear turns to Penguin and then back to Chapel, clearly showing excitement despite his bear costume.”

Chapel: “See that movie. It’ll teach you that killer instinct you should have a bear.”

Bear looks at it again.

Bear: “Cocaine Bear? Aw hell! I heard about this! Bear-homey gets blitzed and goes on a rampage! But-“

Chapel: “I need to go and get my report in to SCW’s officials. We’re going to undo ALL of this conspiracy!”

Bear: “But aren’t you coming with me?”

Chapel: “Don’t bears get chicks?”

Chapel turns and walks off as Bear looks at her and then back.

Penguin: “I guess I’m going?”

Bear: “Okay, just no ideas. And if I pick up-“

Penguin: “Okay, okay!”

The scene cuts away.

Polly Playtime vs. The One

SCW Television Championship

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot and then the words “START GAME” show up on SCW’s Jumbotron. A bunch of girls can be heard giggling before “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched begins to play. The music plays for quite some time and it is not until it comes to the first chorus that Polly Playtime emerges from the backstage area, both Colleen and Aisling in tow. The trio make their way down the ramp. 

Sharper: “Polly Playtime returning to action for the first time since coming up short in the United States Championship match at Under Attack, now getting an opportunity at the Television Championship.”

Knots: “But after a surprising result last week where Colleen drew with that very same United States Champion, Polly’s got to be looking to ride her group’s momentum here, or maybe even proving herself as the head of the table by getting some gold!”

The crowd boos as Polly arrives down at the ringside area. As Colleen and Aisling stay at ringside, Polly walks up the steel steps and into the ring and is very careful to not show off any of her assets.  She hands over her personalized microphone to Jason Phillips and tells him to announce her using ONLY that microphone. He looks at her and just shrugs before taking it.

Phillips:  “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, accompanied to the ring by her Playgirls, from Panguitch, Utah, she is the girl that just LOVES to play… Polly Playtime!”

Polly immediately snatches her microphone back away from him and nods, telling him “Good job”, before she heads to her assigned corner. It’s here that she begins to warm up for the upcoming matchup as her music fades.

The arena goes dark, and slowly smoke begins to rise from the entryway.  “Battle Cry” by Little V begins to play over the PA system...

I hear the Battle Cry

Under the Devil's Sky

The One Winged Angel Screams

It fuels my Hopes and Dreams

The Best Bout Machine

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

With the stinger of the song hitting, an explosion and pyrotechnics hit, cueing the spotlights to hit, and standing in the entryway is The One with her back turned to the audience, head down, and her right hand up in the air with the number one in the air. She turns at the waist, looking directly at the ring, and slowly lowers her hand, finger still extended, to point to her destination.  She fully turns and begins her walk to the ring, quickly, but methodically, occasionally slowly down to look around, not necessarily trusting anyone around her to not come rush her and attack her. The SCW television Championship sits around her waist.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Your Worst Personal Nightmare, she is the SCW Television Champion, The One!”

Sharper: “And speaking of momentum, our current Television Champion is riding a wave of her own lately.”

Lyman: “Not just stringing together wins, but making some emphatic statements. Last week, telling everyone that she’s here to shake things up and disrupt the existing order. Well, she tried just that at Under Attack with a calculated attack on the arm of Deanna Frost. We’ll see if Polly Playtime is just another victim in The One’s rearrangement of SCW.”

As The One reaches the ring, she again looks over both shoulders, taking glimpses of the fans, and assuring her safety before entering. She makes a full lap of the ring, walking, and staring at everyone at ringside, and occasionally looking toward the upper decks. She then slumps into the corner, sitting on the mat, and pushing the title to the middle of the ring with her foot all while staring down Polly in the opposite corner. The official takes it and holds it up in the air. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner as the official hands the title to the timekeeper. The bell sounds. The One pulls herself up from the corner. Polly charges from the opposite corner. The One leans back into her corner and throws a boot up, catching Polly in the face. Polly stumbles back a bit while holding her jaw. The One lunges forward and takes Polly down with a vicious clothesline. The crowd ohs as Polly slams against the mat, The One falling down alongside her. The One goes for a quick cover.

1!

Polly throws her shoulder up and rolls away. The One smirks and gets back to her feet.

Sharper: “Polly coming out aggressive, but The One was ready for it.”

Lyman: “Polly telling the world she’s not here to play games this week. Maybe trying to prove a point there, but it backfired.”

Polly rolls under the ropes and onto the apron. The One reaches through the ropes and grabs Polly by the hair. The official barks a warning as The One yanks Polly to her feet. Polly suddenly grabs The One by the head and drops down with a rope guillotine. Polly falls to the outside mats just near the end of the ramp as The One drops to the canvas.

Lyman: “And that’s more what Polly should be looking for. The One with a notable size advantage. Polly, whether she wants to call it playing games or something else, has to be her cunning self to stay ahead here.”

Polly yanks The One out of the ring, letting her fall to the mats. The referee starts the count as Polly bends down to grab The One. (1) Polly pulls The One up, but The One suddenly pushes her back. Polly falls back and hits the steel steps. (2) The One rises up and charges. She plows her shoulder into Polly, flinging her right over the steps. Polly lands near Colleen and Aisling. (3) The One turns the corner, stepping around the steps. She heads to Polly. Colleen and Aisling back away from the scene.

Sharper: “Perhaps surprisingly, the Playgirls backing off.”

Lyman: “Again, maybe Polly looking to prove a point, showing she can get this done herself, much like Colleen did last week.”

Knots: “Or maybe they’re just scared The One will whoop their asses!”

(4) The One picks Polly up and throws her into the barricade. She peels Polly from the barricade and whips her into the ring apron. Polly hits hard, arching her back in pain. (5) The One runs forward and plows her knee into Polly’s gut. Polly doubles over. The One clubs her hard with a double axe handle. (6) The One grabs Polly and throws her back into the ring. She slides in right after Polly and pops back up to her feet. Polly tries to crawl away, but The One drops an elbow onto her back. She pushes Polly onto her back and goes for the cover.

Polly kicks out just after two. She crawls towards the ropes. The One gets back to her feet and goes after Polly. The One reaches down and grabs Polly by the leg. Polly reaches out and clings on to the bottom rope. The One tries to rip her free, but Polly holds on tight, prompting the referee to start the count.

Just before The One lets go, Polly throws her free leg up, catching The One in the face. The One stumbles back while Polly keeps hold of the rope with a smirk. Polly gets to her knees as The One shakes off the hit. The One runs forward. Polly gets up and trips The One up with a drop-toe hold. The One lands harshly on the second rope, her throat smacking against it.

Sharper: “Oh, and The One falling neck first onto that steel cable!”

Polly slips behind The One as she pushes herself off the rope, nursing her throat. Polly hooks The One from behind with a waistlock. She pushes The One forward, back into the ropes, and then uses the momentum to drop back and trap The One with an O’Connor roll!

The One pushes Polly off at the last second.

Sharper: “Polly, almost catching The One!”

Polly stops herself against the ropes. The One starts to bring herself up. She gets to her feet, only to see Polly charging at her. Polly leaps up and uses her legs to grab onto The One and snap her back into a hurricanrana, reaching back to hook the legs for a swift pin!

1!

2!

The One kicks out just in time once again, pushing Polly away from her.

Lyman: “Not just once, but twice! Using that quick offense to get back into this match.”

Polly turns and sees The One getting back to a vertical base. She throws up a chick kick, but The One ducks it. Polly lands awkwardly on the whiff, her back facing The One. The One grabs her and hoists her up for a backdrop. Polly slips out of it at the apex, landing on her feet behind The One. The One turns around and Polly hooks her arm and head for a drive-by facebuster. The One throws her elbow back a few times, clobbering Polly in the back of the head. Polly breaks the lock and stumbles away into the corner. The One runs towards Polly. Polly reacts quickly, hopping up as The One goes for a running shoulder. Polly lands on The One’s back and flips forward into a sunset flip bomb!

Sharper: “Sunset flip! Using everything she’s got to pull that off!”

Lyman: “Shoulders down!”

The One kicks her legs as Polly uses hers to trap The One’s shoulders to the mat.

1!

2!

The One breaks free and rolls away to the center of the ring. She pushes herself up onto all fours, taking a moment to regain her composure. Polly falls back to the mat before kipping up. She spots The One and quickly runs at her.

Lyman: “Not letting up, looking for The Head Turner now!”

Knots: “The One in perfect position!”

Polly jumps up, but The One rolls away at the last second. Polly stomps the mat hard, landing somewhat awkwardly. She falls to a knee. The One springs to her feet. She walks over to Polly. Polly shoots up and goes for a kick, but The One catches her foot. She spins Polly around. Polly does a full 360 before receiving a kick to the gut. She doubles over. The One hooks her head and quickly hoists her up for a suplex before dropping her back to the mat. The One keeps a hold of Polly and swings her hips to swiftly return to her feet, bringing Polly right along with her. Again, she hoists Polly up and slams her with a suplex. The One keeps Polly hooked as she returns to her feet once again.

Sharper: “The One with One by One, that trio of suplexes.”

Lyman: “Looking for one more, that transition into the falcon arrow.”

The One hoists Polly up for a third time, holding Polly at the apex, taking a few spins, and finally dropping Polly with a falcon arrow to complete One by One! The One reaches forward and pulls Polly’s leg back for the cover.

1!

2!

Polly gets loose just before three. The One looks up at the referee, who flashes two fingers. The One pushes herself back to her feet.

Sharper: “Not able to get the pin with the series of suplexes.”

Lyman: “But back in control now. Those suplexes, on top of doing damage, are total momentum killers.”

Knots: “Nothing like taking three slow and consecutive moves to put a stop to your roll!”

Polly crawls to the ropes. She grabs the bottom rope. The One makes her way over to Polly and looks down at her with a smirk. As Polly continues to hold onto the bottom rope and regain her  composure, The One points out at Colleen and Aisling before gesturing towards Polly, still smirking.

Sharper: “The One just taunting Polly and her Playgirls.”

Lyman: “And look, Polly with her arm outstretched, like Deanna in the Chamber. Pointing it out to the Playgirls, maybe goading them in to play the part of Selena…”

Knots: “Which means The One’s about to play wishbone!”

Colleen and Aisling run up to the apron and shout up at The One, who just continues to smirk. She takes a few steps back and sizes Polly up.

Sharper: “The One, aiming to fracture that arm!”

The One lunges forward, but stops in her tracks as Polly rolls away from the ropes, getting into the corner. Polly looks up at The One before swiftly rising to her feet. The One runs at Polly. Polly grabs the ropes behind her and jumps up, throwing both feet out to catch The One in the chest. The One drops to her knees as she clutches to her chest. Polly turns and quickly hops to the top rope. She turns and jumps off. The One gets to her feet, only for Polly to crash down onto her with Downplay!

Sharper: “Oh! Downplay, off the top rope! Polly Playtime, out of nowhere!”

Lyman: “Now going for the kill!”

Polly stays on the mat with The One. She swings her legs around The One’s head and twists her around onto her stomach. Polly brings The One’s head up with her legs before driving it right into the mat with the Polly Pop!

Sharper: “Polly with the Polly Pop!”

Knots: “And the cover!”

Polly rolls back onto The One, hooking the far leg.

1!

3!

The bell sounds. “C’est La Vie” plays as the crowd gives a mixed reaction.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW Television Champion, Polly Playtime!”

Polly rolls off of The One and slowly rises to her feet. The official hands her the Television Championship. Polly takes it with one arm, looking down at it, still processing the win.

Sharper: “And Polly Playtime is now an SCW Champion!”

The referee raises Polly’s other arm. Polly looks up and raises the title in the air.

Lyman: “Fought hard, looked to have her back against the wall, but that only seemed to fuel her. She set out to prove a point here tonight, and she did just that.”

Colleen and Aisling slide into the ring and crowd around Polly. The referee steps away to check on The One. The Playgirls all celebrate together. Before the referee can fully inspect The One, she rolls out of the ring. She looks into the ring. She nurses her head while wearing a smirk.

Knots: “And The One’s reign coming to an end, but look at her! Still has that same look as she did before she considered snapping Polly’s arm!”

Lyman: “Maybe in shock, or maybe something deeper there. I don’t know. Whatever the case, Polly’s escaped both with her arm and the Television Championship.”

Sharper: “Which leaves The One having to regroup and rethink her plan on disrupting the order around here. Until then, Polly and her Playgirls basking in the moment!”

The One continues to wear a smirk as she turns and heads up the ramp. Inside the ring, Polly and her Playgirls continue to talk to one another, looking down at the belt in Polly’s hands.

“The Old Me” plays throughout the arena as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still for Owen Cruze vs. Xander Valentine follows.

Sharper: “We saw one title change hands. Will we see another? World Title on the line! Owen Cruze challenges Xander Valentine, next!”

The scene fades to black.

Owen Cruze vs. Xander Valentine

SCW World Championship

The opening rifts to The Black Adam Theme kick in, as mist fills the entranceway. The music stops, a huge explosion rocks the entranceway and Owen jumps, seemingly through the floor and landing on his feet, dropping to one knee and punching the floor. Owen gets to his feet, and looks left and right at the reaction he is getting, a look of focus and determination on his face as he takes in the crowd. With real intensity, he begins the walk down to the ring, slapping the hand of anyone who offers, a laser show accompanying him all the way to the bottom of the ramp before he then slides in and under the bottom rope, before standing in the middle of the ring his arms outstretched, beams of light focussing now on only him. Owen points to the turnbuckle and then runs towards it, bouncing on the middle ropes and back flipping backwards, landing on both feet. Owen pulls on the top rope a couple of time, applauding the fans as his music fades.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze won the Chamber match at Under Attack, earning this opportunity. Now can he get back to the top of the mountain.”

Lyman: “The timeline has been quickened but he looks ready. We saw him last week check Xander Valentine. Could he do so tonight, but this time, taking him down and keeping him there for a three count?”

Sharper: “And tonight, this is a special for Owen Cruze. His father, Orlando, would have turned forty-five tonight. Will he be celebrating his birthday or commiserating this loss?”

A long church bell rings, once- twice- a third time as the crowd explodes. The lights go out as Xander’s voice echoes out over the sound system, increasing the intensity of the crowd’s roar.

“Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

The few opening keystrokes of “Soul on Fire” by Last Internationale chimed. A lull before the storm as the crowd seems to calm for only a moment before Delila Paz’s blues dominate the audio.

“Some are born to kill

Others are born to run

Some need to keep on takin'

Till you ain't got none”

A singular light appears before the curtains, on the other side is the outline of a large man. On the screen, we’re shown Xander Valentine holding onto the bars of a prison cell. He starts to bend the bars before the scene blurs. 

“But baby, I wasn't built to die

Lay down and be crucified

Nah, no matter how hard they try

To push me down

Still I rise”

“Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)”

The curtain drops to reveal Xander. A quick salvo of pyros explodes in front of him before he steps through the smoke with an intense look on his face. He goes from one side of the stage to the next, yelling out to the crowd and throwing up his arms. He then stops at the top of the ramp while Artemis steps up from behind him and throws his arm up into the air. Together they start down the ramp, Xander’s gaze affixed on the ring. The SCW World Championship sits in his hand.

Suffocate me until I am blue

To preserve my bad worldview

Paranoid, All Eyes On Me

Rumours circle, vultures feed

Baby, I wasn't built to die

Lay down and be crucified

Nah, no matter how hard they try

To push me down

Still I rise

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Xander leaps up onto the apron in a single bound. Artemis joins him by slipping below the bottom rope. Xander climbs up over the top rope and marches straight to the far side of the ring. He throws his arms up again, getting a massive pop. He goes to the opposite side and repeats to garner the same response. He hops down from the rope, and jogs into place, waiting for the bell. Artemis leans up and whispers into his ears before departing with a kiss on his neck. Xander looks across at Owen, still holding the World Title.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine meanwhile has beaten some great talent since returning and winning the title.”

Knots: “We’ve talked about his motivations. He not only wanted one more run, but he wanted to keep the title to make Adam Allocco suffer and so far, that’s been happening.”

Sharper: “Let’s go to Jason Phillips for the introductions.”

The bell sounds. Jason Phillips steps forward.

Phillips: “Fans, the following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and it is your main event for the SCW World Championship!”

The crowd roars as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen.

Phillips: “First the challenger, fighting out of the corner to my right, he is from Miami, Florida, he is Owen Cruze!”

Cruze doesn’t pose, just looking across, continuing to get loosened up as the crowd cheers.

Phillips: “And his opponent…Fighting out of Fort Collins, Colorado, from Rochester, New York, he is the SCW World Champion, the Paragon of Violence, the Executioner, Xander Valentine!”

Xander Valentine steps up and hands the World Title to Aaron Demitra. Demitra takes the title and holds it over his head as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Both Owen and Xander all business.”

Lyman: “Personal reasons. Professional reasons. All coming together in this one.”
