Breakdown - February 1, 2017

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

A shot of Syren holding the SCW Women’s Championship, followed by a shot of CHBK hitting a Bittersweet Ending on one individual, before turning a shot of Jason Zero hitting a spear on Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness a few years ago, before turning into a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on James Exeter.

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

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

MAIN SHOW:

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Kelcey Wallace walking out to the ring with Chris Cannon and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Selena Frost locking the Frost’s Bite on Angelica Jones before showing Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on CHBK.

"They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams"

We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Tommy Valentine hitting James Evans with the Griever’s Bane. We see a shot of Rachel Foxx going to hit Syren with a sledgehammer before showing Syren ducking and her hitting Adam Sharper instead before we follow up with a shot of Syren celebrating with the SCW World Championship at Rise to Greatness.

"I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)"

A shot of Red Rayne spewing the Bloodbath into the eyes of Christy Matthews is shown before showing Dawn Lohan standing over Selena Frost. We then see Eli D’Angelo hitting the Salvation on Ace Marshall.

"I'll try to picture me without you but I can't"

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne and PUNK HAZARD carrying their banner.

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

We then see a shot of Merrick Wiseman handcuffing Ravyn Taylor before showing Adrenaline Rush in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and AJ Helms and Shaun Cruze walking to the ring are shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping Rachel Foxx with the Catnap inside Tactical Warfare before showing Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster posing, followed by a shot of Tyler Tucker going for the Caffeine Crash before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene then cuts to inside the Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay, Florida where pyro ignites either side of the stage and makes its way towards the center. The crowd explodes with electricity with the cameras catching glimpses of all in attendance tonight. Various signs are on full display for their favorite superstars. The camera continues to pan the crowd before we cut to ringside and the SCW announce table to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters at ringside.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Tampa Bay, home of the Lightning, as SCW Breakdown comes fresh from Hazardous Envy and a night where PUNK HAZARD stood tall, Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster got some of what they deserve and Selena Frost is still World Champion. Adam Sharper here with Shawn Winters and Shawn, tonight, Shot of Adrenaline takes center stage, but that won’t be all.”

Winters: “Some big matches in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament tonight, but we are heading to Retribution, to the Trios Tournament. We know some people are angling for something. We know Blake and Bree have to deal with Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost in the Roofed Cage. Some tension spilling over there. Who knows what will happen?”

Sharper: “But I can say, we’re heading to the ring, opening up with one half of the new Tag Team Champions in Shot of Adrenaline action!”

Dawn Lohan vs. AJ Helms

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

“Confident” by Demi Lovato echoes from the loud speaker. Dawn Lohan pushes her way through the curtain. She stands in front of the entrance way, she takes a moment to soak in the reaction from the crowd. As the music is coursing through the arena she knows she can't delay the inevitable. She slowly makes her down to the ring, all business.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, your opening contest this evening is scheduled for onefall, has a ten minute time limit and is a Shot of Adrenaline Tournament Match. First, on her way to the ring, from San Diego, California, she is Dawn Lohan!”

She makes her way to the ring steps. When she reaches the top of the steps, she walks along the apron. Grabbing the top rope she pulls back, using the momentum she propels herself forward over the top rope into the ring. She immediately springs up. She walks to the turnbuckle, stands on the middle turnbuckle soaking in the atmosphere. She hops off the turnbuckle and remains in the corner until the match gets underway.

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan was one of the many who stood as lumberjacks and jills when Ravyn Taylor and Dante McCaffery faced each other at Hazardous Envy.”

Winters: “And she got a bit of a shot at Alexis, but more importantly, Ravyn planted a key on her in some way for the handcuffs. Dawn said she didn’t know how. I’d love to know how.”

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor playing mind games. I’m wondering if we’ll hear anything from her. Dante McCaffery saying on Twitter last week that they will meet again.”

The arena lights cut as the opening riff of "Life @ 11" by A Day To Remember hits the speaker system. As the drums kick in, two small pyros go off on either side of the ramp and the lights burst back into life to show AJ Helms walk out onto the stage, making his way to the middle of the ramp as Scarlett Pearson and Shaun Cruze follow him out. AJ and Shaun hold the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts. Looking around a little at the fans, Aaron smirks before jumping up and hitting a Self High Five, causing one more pyro to explode on either side of the stage and the crowd pop at the cheep reference as he turns and gives Scarlett a quick kiss and fist bumps with Cruze before suddenly bolting down to the ring, leaving Scarlett and Cruze to stroll down after him.

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by Scarlett Pearson and Shaun Cruze, from Asbury Park, New Jersey by way of The Hollywood Hills California, one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, AJ Helms!”

AJ jumps up and tucks his legs underneath him as he slides under the bottom rope legs first before quickly jumping to his feet and running to the corner, where he hops up onto the second rope and throws one fist into the air, the crowd cheering a little again as he grins at them. Scarlett climbs the steps and walks along the apron as Cruze simply walks around to the other side of the ring and AJ hops down and walks over to his corner where Scarlett is now waiting and he says something to her before giving her another quick kiss. He hands her her title. Scarlett drops down to the outside and AJ shares a quick word with Cruze through the ropes before finally settling back in the corner, waiting for the match to begin. We then cut to show Scarlett with a black eye.

Sharper: “AJ Helms holding one half of the Tag Team Championship. Not the way they wanted. Bree and Blake played games instead of coming to the ring. Mr. D honoured the Trios Tournament contract.”

Winters: “But another story involves Scarlett there. You see the black eye. That’s courtesy of Lexi von Aaron who ensured Bree was forced to get into the ring, helped AJ and Cruze win the titles and slugged Scarlett in the process!”

Sharper: “Lexi since has been talking about how she gave AJ Helms what he wanted, the World Tag Team Championship!”

Winters: “And Kelcey Wallace isn’t too pleased about it. She was hoping to take it from B&B Experience.”

AJ looks at Dawn. The bell sounds. Dawn and AJ circle the ring. AJ lunges and goes for a grapple, but Dawn ducks down and spins around. She clubs AJ in the back and then again. She runs into the ropes behind her before bouncing off and AJ hits a back elbow. Dawn falls back to the ropes. AJ grabs her and whips her across. She bounces off and AJ goes to lift her up. Dawn spins through and quickly drops down into a drop toe hold. She then rolls through to a side headlock. She pulls back. AJ reaches around. Dawn slowly pulls back. AJ starts to get his knees under her. AJ then lifts Dawn up and moves her to the ropes before firing her off. Dawn bounces off the ropes. AJ jumps up and hits a jumping back elbow. He goes for the pin.

Dawn kicks out. Both get up and Dawn quickly hits a kick to the knee. AJ winces and moves to the corner.

Sharper: “Dawn thinking quick, going low to the knee.”

Winters: “And that’s cutting off AJ’s high-flying too.”

Sharper: “AJ has a busy couple of weeks in the tournament. Both still have a bit of a shot though.”

Dawn kicks AJ again. She then grabs him and goes to whip him across. AJ spins through and sends her in. AJ runs after. Dawn gets her boot up. AJ staggers back. Dawn climbs up to the middle rope. AJ turns around and Dawn dives forward with a lunging forearm smash. She rolls through. AJ starts to get up and Dawn runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a basement dropkick to the side of AJ’s head. He falls back. Dawn goes for the pin.

AJ kicks out. AJ turns and Dawn gets up. She elbows him in the back of the head. She then gets up and elbows him again. AJ rolls over to the ropes. He starts to get up and Dawn watches him. AJ turns around and Dawn hits a dropkick, knocking him back down. Cruze and Scarlett look on.

Sharper: “Dawn striking as well as she can. Big dropkick.”

Winters: “Former World Champion, so she knows what to do in there.”

Sharper: “Very true and AJ Helms needs to respect that.”

Dawn gets up as AJ stirs. Dawn walks over to him and pulls him back with a neckbreaker. She then turns and exits to the apron. Dawn climbs up to the top rope. She gets to the top rope and looks at AJ. She then dives off with a guillotine leg drop. She connects. The crowd ohs. Dawn turns and hooks the leg.

AJ pushes her off. He sits up, holding his jaw. Dawn grabs him and starts to pull him up. She then hooks him up, but AJ lifts her up and throws her forward, dumping her chest first into the mat. Dawn slowly gets up and AJ hits a basement dropkick, knocking Dawn back. Dawn falls back and rolls over to the ropes. AJ grabs her and scoops her up and hooks her up in the Tree of Woe. Dawn reaches around.

Sharper: “AJ has Dawn in a bad place. The Tree of Woe.”

Winters: “She can flail all she wants. She needs to get free!”

AJ walks over to the middle of the ring. He looks around and then runs at Selena before jumping up and hitting a flipping dropkick to the face of Dawn. The crowd ohs. Dawn falls down and drops to the mat. AJ rolls over and pulls her away from the corner.

Sharper: “Shades of his adopted father, with a bit of a twist. Now the cover! Good ring position!”

He goes for the pin.

Dawn gets her shoulder up. She slowly rolls over. AJ gets up. He pulls her up and then scoops her up and hits a snap back suplex. AJ gets up. He turns and goes to the corner. He then climbs up to the top rope. He glances back and looks at Dawn. He then dives off and goes for a moonsault. Dawn rolls out of the way. AJ hits the mat hard. He slowly gets up and Dawn lunges and nails him with a hard shoot kick and then another hard shoot kick before a third and a fourth and then a jumping high knee to AJ’s head. He falls back. Dawn dives on top for a pin.

AJ gets his shoulder up. Dawn turns and grabs him and slowly pulls him up. She then elbows him in the ribs. She runs into the ropes and hits a running dropkick to the side of AJ’s head. He spins through and lands on his back. Dawn rolls over and to the apron.

Sharper: “Dawn getting to the apron. She may think of flying.”

Winters: “Both are known for leaving their feet. Almost of the definitions of the Adrenaline Division!”

Dawn Lohan gets up and climbs up to the top rope. She gets to the top rope and turns as AJ then runs over and nails her in the ribs. He nails her again. AJ then climbs up to the middle rope. He grabs Dawn as the crowd roars. He hoists her up and throws her over with a superplex. The crowd cheers. Both remain down in the ring. The referee stands back, reflecting the lack of countouts in Shot of Adrenaline matches. AJ slowly rolls over and turns and throws his arm over Dawn.

Dawn throws her shoulder up. The crowd ohs. AJ rolls away. Dawn stirs and rolls in the opposite direction. Dawn starts to stir as AJ starts to slowly get up. Dawn grabs at the ropes and AJ walks over and grabs her and pulls her back. He then goes for a back suplex. Dawn backflips through. AJ then goes for a Wake-Up Call, but Dawn moves out of the way. AJ hits the mat. Dawn hits a flipping leg drop to the back of AJ’s head. She rolls him over.

Sharper: “Dawn scouted AJ well!”

Winters: “Dodged the backflip kick. Hit the leg drop!”

Dawn goes for the pin.

AJ gets his shoulder up. He rolls over. Just then, we see Lexi von Aaron running down from the back. Dawn looks up and hears the roar. Shaun Cruze starts to walk around, but Lexi runs to the ropes and gets up and Dawn nails her with a hard right. She falls back and rolls to the floor. Dawn then backs up as Cruze heads over and tells her to leave. Lexi just gets up and points to the ring. Dawn then turns and AJ kicks her in the ribs and hits the NJNB. Dawn hits the mat. AJ spins around and goes for the pin and then notices Lexi getting held off by Cruze. AJ just looks down.

AJ pushes off.

Phillips: “The winner of this match, via pinfall, AJ Helms!”

The referee goes to raise AJ’s hand, but he pulls away. He gets up and looks around. Lexi just smiles as she points to AJ and then makes a heart with her hands. She starts to back up as Shaun Cruze watches her leave.

Sharper: “Lexi von Aaron getting involved and AJ Helms picks up two points and eliminates Dawn Lohan in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament!”

Winters: “Lexi von Aaron is paying off for AJ!”

Sharper: “This obsession. Helped bring Bree Lancaster to the ring and now tonight gainst Dawn-“

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

The crowd roars and boos. Lexi just stops and turns and promptly jumps to the floor. She then runs off and away. Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason walk out from the back with Scott Burnside. Blake has a microphone in his hand. The crowd boos.

Blake: “Run Lexi….Run because at some point, Bree and I are going to get our revenge against you!”

The crowd boos a bit as Cruze hops onto the apron. He then enters the ring. Scarlett enters with a microphone and Cruze asks for it as Helms watches Bree and Blake.

Blake: “Oh wait, wouldn’t that help you there AJ? Remove a thorn from your side. Well, I am that kind of person. I care for others. Just like Bree here and let’s face it, your World Tag Team Championship reign is as much of a fraud as Lexi’s engagement to you.”

The crowd boos as AJ looks at them as Bree just shakes her head.

Blake: “But I also feel like being helpful to other people…like Kelcey Wallace. Sorry, AJ, Shaun, I think you two may be a bit confused. I did say in the last week on Twitter to my thousands and thousands of followers that I was going to focus only on Kelcey and that’s why I’m out here right now.”

Bree just smirks. AJ and Cruze look a bit confused.

Blake: “Don’t follow?”

Bree then grabs the microphone and leans into it.

Bree: “Not like you two are the brightest in SCW.”

Blake smirks and follows up.

Blake: “But let’s face it, you two ruined Kelcey’s grand attempt at revenge….and our attempt to prove to her that she’s just not capable of matching us, even with the World Champion in her corner. Let’s face it…she was a failure to her husband, to her rival, to her friends…and even as a challenger.”

The crowd boos. Cruze finally responds.

Cruze: “Get to the point, Blake!”

Blake smirks.

Blake: “We want our rematch, just like you two want legitimacy. We both know that you two didn’t want to win the title that way and let’s face it. As it stands, you two finally broke through the glass ceiling of the Tag Division all thanks to Lexi von Aaron. She’s a better manager for you than Scarlett is.”

Blake smirks. AJ steps forward. Cruze stops him.

Cruze: “And you’ll just bail on this one? The mob backstage may make a threat and you’ll need more security.”

Blake: “Shaun…you have something Bree wants and therefore something I want and, in the process, I can get something Kelcey wants that she’ll never have. But we can give you what you want and that’s the match your little Trios Tournament Contract forced us in and we’re at one hundred percent. Bree’s got her wrestling gear. I’m fresh as a daisy. And frankly, we’ll show that you two are no match for us. And you get a chance to know Lexi von Aaron isn’t the reason you’re champions. But if that’s fine, AJ, you’re a good man. I just hope that Scarlett’s okay with how you’re going to repay her later.”

The crowd boos. AJ turns to Shaun. Shaun then turns to Blake.

Shaun: “AJ made the last decision…I’ll make this one. We don’t run. Even though you two don’t deserve a second chance, you want it….We’ll do it. Tonight.”

AJ actually smiles a bit. He then asks for the microphone. AJ takes it and turns.

AJ: “And Blake…unlike you…I’ll prove that I am an ironman around here.”

Blake just shakes his head as Bree rolls her eyes. The crowd cheers. “Rise” plays as Blake and Bree return to the back. Scott turns his nose to AJ, Scarlett and Shaun before exiting the stage. AJ then turns and starts to talk to Shaun as Scarlett hands the Tag Team Championship belt to AJ.

Sharper: “A huge match agreed to. Honour Code happily willing to step up to the challenge! AJ Helms and Shaun Cruze to defend against the B&B Experience tonight.”

Winters: “Right into the trap.”

Sharper: “Could be…but Shaun and AJ are willing to take that chance.”

Winters: “At least they have Lexi von Aaron in their corner!”

Sharper: “And Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost I bet are going to be watching closely!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Regan Street arriving at the building. We see her stepping in with Sienna Swann. Regan notices Spirit Dansby and turns and heads off in another direction. Sienna just nods to her and continues to head on her way to Spirit. The crowd boos a bit.

Spirit: “Sienna, everything okay?”

Sienna: “Why wouldn’t it be?”

Spirit: “Just you’re running late. That’s not like you and Regan-“

Sienna stops her friend.

Sienna: “I was running late. Overslept with a beauty nap. And Regan, even while all of this is going on with her and Selena, I am friends with both. I rent out from Regan’s beach house.”

Spirit: “Fair enough…I guess while you’re here, camera’s here, you are still the Women’s Champion-“

Sienna cuts her off again.

Sienna: “This is my title and anyone who stands in my way, I will beat. Kara found that out, all while she stands with those who did this to me. Beyond that, I’m focusing on the Trios Tournament.”

Sienna starts to walk off.

Spirit: “Did this…Sienna…you mean the piledriver? Sienna?”

Sienna continues to head off, ignoring Spirit as we cut to the ring.

Stacy Kissinger vs. Konrad Raab

The lighting completely turns off inside the arena and only the SCWtron is lit. It shows a set of deep brown eyes. It slowly zooms out to show the face of Stacy Kissinger. Some people pop in the crowd. The SCWtron zooms out even further until her entire frame can be seen before if zooms back in real fast to just show Stacy’s face. Her eyes blink and then close and the SCWtron goes to black.

But it's not a few seconds before the beginning of "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten is heard. A small bit of fog rolls out onto the stage and the familiar figure of Stacy Kissinger steps out and through the fog. The stage lights come on so everyone can see her holding a microphone, wearing a yellow and dark slate blue colored robe around her, the colors of Adrenaline Rush. Right behind her is Adrenaline Rush member Craig Thomas.

Stacy removes herself from the foggy stage and descends down the ramp, Thomas following close behind as she looks around the arena a little bit, gently smiling.

Phillips: “Making her way to the ring, from Dallas, Texas and being accompanied by Craig Thomas... she is Stacy Kissinger!

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger looking ready to compete, her fiancé in tow.”

Winters: “Those Adrenaline Rush kids can't seem to do anything on their own.”

Sharper: “They're a group, they back each other up.”

Stacy completes her walk to the ring and slides in as Craig Thomas walks around to her corner on the outside. Stacy then stands up and goes to the center of the ring and slowly spins herself around so she can view the entire arena. She then removes the robe from around her, pats a patch of each color that is on the robe before handing it to Craig, revealing that she has on a short frilly black skirt and a red halter top that states "Feel The Rush", in yellow, on the front.

Stacy then hears a few boos from the crowd, obviously from her critics. She shrugs her shoulders and looks back to the stage, which is when one line of pyro goes off while her entrance music is coming to an end. While it does, Stacy turns her attention to the match that she's about to fight as she goes to the corner of the ring, talking to Craig a bit while waiting for her opponent.

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

Phillips: “Making his way to the ring, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.

Sharper: “Konrad Raab had an impressive showing at Hazardous Envy, coming close more than once to defeating Tommy Valentine.”

Winters: “Yeah, but he didn't. I bet he went home and colored a bunch of pictures of broken hearts. Get it? Valentine? Hearts?”

Sharper: “We get it, stop it.”

The bell sounds. Stacy and Konrad shake hands quick, back up a step each, and then both lunge forward and lock up. Konrad has the size advantage over the songbird, even if she is nearly as tall as he is, and makes short work of pushing her back into her corner. Craig Thomas looks on as Raab throws a few boxing punches to Stacy's ribs. She covers up a bit, but Konrad lands a few good shots, causing Stacy to lean over a little Raab then grabs her by the head and pulls her to the middle of the ring, possibly looking for a snapmare, but Kissinger shoves back and counters with some upper body punches of her own. The flurry causes Raab to take a few steps backwards, and Stacy jumps up and lands a kick to his abdomen. Thomas claps from ringside.

Sharper: “And a quick back and forth with Stacy with the counter.”

Winters: “Craig Thomas is enjoying this, however Konrad is not.”

Kissinger takes advantage of the fact Raab is leaning over slight to grab his head and drop him with a snap DDT. She's to her feet quick, and Raab isn't far behind. He goes for a lock up again, then reverses it, gripping Stacy from behind. Raab goes to lift Kissinger up for a German suplex but she blocks it, wrapping her foot behind his. Raab, undeterred, widens his stance a little preventing the block, and snaps Stacy backwards over his head with a release German. He quickly drops and goes for a pin.

1...

2...

Stacy shoots her shoulder up.

Sharper: “It'll take more than that to keep Stacy Kissinger down. Not with her determination and heart.”

Winters: “Raab got first score though. That's important for the mindset, gets under the skin.”

Raab and Kissinger get back to their feet at the same time, but Stacy is quicker to move. She leaps up and lands a spinning heel kick, sending Raab reeling into the ropes. Stacy follows and grabs his arm to whip him across, but just then Eric Teufel comes out from the back. Stacy stops and watches, and Konrad glares, but doesn't do anything, not willing to take advantage of a distracted opponent.

Winters: “And here comes Eric Teufel, the mouthpiece for Torsten Voigt. Looking to get under the skin of Adrenaline Rush!”

Sharper: “Trying to cause trouble is my guess. Voigt faced Shane Lawson at Hazardous Envy and took offense at Lawson locking in a submission. So much offense that he refused to back off the uppercuts and got himself disqualified. Stacy and Craig here came out to help, stopping the post-match assault on Lawson, and I'm betting Teufel and Voight are thinking about that right now.”

Eric Teufel walks around the ring as Stacy watches and gets in Thomas' face, mouthing off. Craig mouths off back, as Stacy watches with interest. Raab goes over to the ropes and starts yelling at Teufel to go away, pointing to the back. Just then, the crowd boos.

Sharper: “And here comes Voigt!”

Winters: “He looks like a man with a plan.”

Sharper: “Stacy, watch out!”

Sadly Stacy can't hear Sharper, and even if she could there wasn't time. Voigt runs down to the ring and slides in. Voight nails Kissinger with a double-ax handle to the shoulder blade. Stacy goes down hard, and Voight appears pleased with himself. Voigt then stomps Kissinger a couple of times. The referee calls for the bell.

Sharper: “Come on! That's uncalled for!”

Winters: “Officials calling this one over, Stacy Kissinger with the DQ win but not looking very victorious.”

Craig Thomas heard Stacy hit the mat and looks up, then tries to get to the ring but Teufel stops him. Thomas pushes him back Raab however is already in the ring, and he turns to face Eric. Voigt doesn't seem to care, he steps over Stacy and swings at Raab, looking for a European uppercut, the kind he assaulted Shane Lawson with. Raab blocks it though, before landing one of his own. Torsten is unphased however, and the two men trade a few uppercuts, Konrad managing to push Torsten backwards as he does. Raab then rears back and lands a massive clothesline to Voigt, sending him over the top rope and down to the floor. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Torsten Voigt getting more than he bargained for, trying to go after Konrad.”

Winters: “Maybe he should have brought color pencils to distract him.”

Sharper: “Would you knock it off.”

Teufel tries to stop Thomas, but Thomas shoves him back again and slides into the ring to check on Stacy, as Teufel glares before crawling over to Voigt. Voigt just looks at Raab. In the ring Craig helps Stacy to her feet, asking if she's okay. Stacy nods, and the crowd cheers. They watch as Teufel and Voigt make their way up the ramp. Raab watches as they head off.

We open up backstage to see Marie Jones heading down a hallway. The crowd gives a mixed reaction.

???: “Hey! Marie!”

Marie stops and turns. We then see Amy Chastaine walk over to her. The crowd cheers.

Marie: “Oh…Amy.”

Amy: “Just wanted to quickly thank you for the match at Hazardous Envy.”

Marie: “Oh…yeah…no problem. Shame I didn’t win. Well…I-“

Amy: “It’s fine. But Marie, you’re good enough with the tricks. You were good out there.”

Marie:”Tricks?”

Amy: “The under the ring. I thought something was off-“

Marie: “Look. I was taught to use what was available to me. The ring is part of that. Hopefully I’ll get another shot. Until then, I have to worry about Rachel Foxx.”

Marie turns and heads off. Amy watches her leave as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see Lexi von Aaron knocking the Honour Code door locker room.

Lexi: “AJ! AJ! Let me in! I can help you tonight! I can help you!”

We hear some yelling inside the locker room. Lexi keeps knocking on the door.

Lexi: “I can hear you in there! Trust me! I’m better than that Scarlett bitch! I can help you like I did at Hazardous Envy!”

The door then opens. AJ Helms stands in the door way. Lexi smiles.

Lexi: “AJ!”

Lexi goes to move forward for a kiss, but AJ pushes her back.

AJ: “Lexi…”

Lexi steps back.

Lexi: “Fine…later…but you should let me in-“

AJ: “Lexi. I’m not letting you in.”

Lexi frowns.

Lexi: “But-“

AJ: “I need you to let me taking care of this ourselves. Stay away from the ring. Let Shaun and I get the job done.”

Lexi: “But, I can help-“

AJ sighs.

AJ: “I know. Just, please, if you care about me-“

Lexi: “Of course I do! Okay…okay…I’ll let you do it. Oh, AJ, you’re so hot when you take things on your own.”

Lexi leans in and AJ pushes her back.

AJ: “Just please. And if you do…”

Lexi: “We can celebrate in my hotel room.”

AJ gulps a bit.

AJ: “Yeah, whatever.”

Lexi: “Yay!”

Lexi sneaks in a quick kiss on the cheek before heading off. AJ just turns away, about to vomit as we cut away.

Gigi Steward vs. Kennedy Street

SCW Television Championship

A church organ begins to play
A chorus sings along with a harmonious melody

The lights in the arena dim down darkening the area and “Mercy on Me (Instrumental)” starts to play. A spotlight shines down onto the stage for Katie Steward to step out from behind the curtain and stands in the light. She wears her white ring robe with a pink outline around the white cloth and gold sequences sparkled over it. She grabs the sides of her robe holding it out and spins around slowly showing off to the fans who snap photos and videos of her.

After a few seconds on the posing on the stage she turns back around and continues her walk down the ramp and the spotlight follows. Inside the ring, TJ Johnson is already there and has helped himself to the ring announcer’s microphone.

TJ Johnson: “Ladies and Gentleman, I’m proud and honor to introduce to you tonight, your Goddess of Desire, nay your Goddess of Supreme, your NEXT SCW Television Champion, Katie Steward.”

Katie makes it to ringside and walking over to the ring steps. She stops as TJ finishes her introduction and a mixed reaction from the fans. The arena lights return to normal. She carefully climbs up and grabs the ring post so she doesn’t fall. She walks along the apron and waits for TJ to walk over and holds the ropes open for her. Katie enters the ring and walks to the middle and stands there taking off her ring robe revealing her amazing and beautiful ring wrestling attire and TJ is right there to take her robe from her. Katie and TJ walk over to her corner and TJ exits the ring with Katie’s robe in hand and Katie gets warmed up for her match. TJ walks over to the announce team and joins them on commentary.

Sharper: “We’re about to be joined by TJ Johnson, Katie’s hypeman. And before he can spin his propaganda, we should explain why Gigi Steward is not competing in this match when she earned it. She suddenly had an injury earlier tonight. She suddenly couldn’t compete and asked Katie to be her proxy!”

Winters: “Hey. We’ve had the precedent set.”

Sharper: “Within reason.”

TJ comes over.

Winters: “TJ!”

Winters fist pumps TJ as TJ sits down and puts on a headset.

Johnson: “Ready for history?”

Sharper: “How about why Katie has this shot instead of Gigi?”

Johnson: “A shame what happened to Gigi. A true shame.”

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the rope showing off her beautiful body in her wrestling gear that leaves little to the imagination. Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk as Ethan Von Aaron claps, she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers, some boo as she looks over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them, posing along the way to entice them a bit by blowing kisses and high fiving fans with her Television Championship in tow. Ethan leads her down to the ring as she arrives at the apron, crawls in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the flash photography while Ethan again claps….

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by her manager, Ethan von Aaron, she is the reigning and defending SCW Television Champion, from Beverly Hills, California, she is The Sexy Flawless Diva, Kennedy Street!”

Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner, extending her long muscular legs, doing her pre-match stretches as Ethan instructs the referee how to properly handle the match. After she is done Kennedy pulls up her knee pads and places them firmly on her knees, flings back her long blonde hair and turns around to lean against the corner ready for the match to start, handing the belt to the referee. The referee holds it over his head as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. The referee hands off the title.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street looking to continue what has been a remarkable reign-“

Johnson: “Won’t happen. She’s already just showing her old ways. I’ve told Katie to go for the face. Bruise her eye. She’ll fold. You saw her. Wanting to face all of the Stewards, throwing a temper tantrum. Hilarious!”

Sharper: “Katie’s never been big for taking a stiff blow either.”

Winters: “Her track record is great. Calli Bennett, Katie Steward, Rachel Foxx.”

Sharper: “And she’s been playing her own games as of late.”

The bell sounds. Kennedy looks at Katie as Kennedy glares at her. Katie steps forward as Kennedy starts to move towards her. The two lunge and lock up in the middle of the ring. Kennedy then turns and grabs Katie’s arm. Katie screams a bit and wrenches the arm. Kennedy then wrenches it again. Katie moves over and to the ropes. She steps through the ropes. Kennedy holds on for a moment.

Kennedy lets go and backs up and Katie steps to the apron. Kennedy looks at her as Katie glares. She tells her to get back. Kennedy backs up. Katie slowly enters. She steps in and Kennedy heads over and lock up with another lockup. Kennedy turns and moves into a side headlock. She then holds on as Katie pulls Kennedy back and shoves her off. She bounces off and Katie shoulders her down. The crowd boos. Katie just smiles.

Johnson: “There you go!”

Sharper: “Hard shoulder. Kennedy down and Katie happy already.”

Katie runs into the ropes. Kennedy rolls towards her and Katie jumps over her and stops. Kennedy starts to get up and Katie hits an elbow drop. She then rolls Kennedy over and hooks the leg.

Johnson: “She’s got the hair! The tights! Something! Make her break it! I need to go help her!”

Sharper: “You stay right here.”

Winters: “Kennedy trying to remove Katie’s strength. Looks like she’s got a strategy.”

Katie Steward continues to struggle as Kennedy keeps pulling back on her arm. She even grinds her elbow into the ribs of Katie. The referee checks on Katie. Katie yells out as Kennedy keeps the hold on. Katie struggles as Kennedy keeps trying to grind her elbow in.

Johnson: “Shut up!”

Kennedy hooks the leg.

The crowd roars.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and still SCW Television Champion, Kennedy Street!”

Sharper: “Kennedy retains. Katie Steward came and brought it, but Kennedy still continues to compete at an amazing level as TV Champion.”

Johnson: “A travesty! An absolute travesty!”

TJ takes the headset off before stepping forward. Kennedy gets up and Ethan enters the ring as the referee hands her the Television Championship. But as this happens, the crowd roars as we see Alexis Quinne running down from the back with Dante McCaffery, El Rudo and Grundy heading down. The crowd boos. They run down to the ring and slide in.

Winters: “And with new members. We saw Jake Starr join the fight at Hazardous Envy? And he’s standing with everyone else.”

Sharper: “Yeah, but there’s still come concern. Ravyn is keeping her eye on him. So is Kennedy.”

Kennedy and Ravyn continue to watch Jake as PUNK HAZARD starts to back away. The crowd cheers looking on as we cut away.

Breakdown returns as we open up to see Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area.

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Please welcome my guest at this time, Kelcey Wallace.”

The crowd cheers as Kelcey Wallace walks into the scene with Shawn Mason. Jessica turns to Kelcey.

Kelcey: “Hello Jessica.”

Jessica: “Kelcey, a lot to talk about. At Hazardous Envy, Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster made sure you wouldn’t get much closer, Bree bringing a clutch with a brick in it and I’d like to ask about your injury status, but earlier tonight, Bree and Blake challenged Honour Code for the Tag Team Championship. They could again by champions heading into Retribution when you and Selena team up.”

Kelcey: “First off, a bit bruised, but I’ll live. Blake and Bree though are walking a fine line. They play their games at Hazardous Envy and now Blake claiming he in any way is thinking about me…that’s laughable. But he wants to keep talking about my failures….he failed Bree at Hazardous Envy. And he and Bree will fail again at Retribution. This time, we already know what we’re getting into it. You want to bring your brick, you can. I’m bringing a World Champion and someone who wants to kick your ass, well not as much as I do, but close.”

Kelcey pauses for a moment.

Kelcey: “And on top of that, neither of you can run. You ran at Hazardous Envy. Twice. Against me. Against Honour Code. It ends at Retribution.”

Jessica: “And the Tag Team Championship?”

Kelcey pauses a moment.

Kelcey: “I thank Shaun for agreeing to the match. Part of me wonders if he’s doing it as an olive branch from the Trios cash-in. But regardless, if they’re on the line, great. If not, getting revenge will be worth it.”

Just then, Christina Matsui can be seen walking over to Shawn. Kelcey turns to them.

Christina: “Sorry to interrupt. Mr. D would like the two of you to come to his office when you have a chance. He needs to ask you something.”

Shawn: “We’ll be there as soon as we can.”

Christina: “Thank you.”

Christina walks off. Shawn then motions to Kelcey and they head off as we cut to the ring.

We cut to the ring to see Gable Winchester walking into the ring in his wrestling gear. His music plays in the background. We see a referee in the ring. He looks around as he is handed a microphone. He takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring.

Winchester: “Sloan…Diana…You better be here. I want my match against you two for everything you’ve put myself and Autumn through.”

The crowd roars a bit.

Winchester: “Get on out here!”

Sharper: “Gable Winchester coming to the ring. He demanded Sloan Sawyer and Diana Weston are forced to attend. They cost him a World Title shot. Put added stress on his relationship with Autumn Valentine.”

Winters: “Are they even here?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but my understanding is that Gable Winchester backstage was telling people he wanted a match with them tonight. There’s a referee in the ring.”

Gable then looks around. The referee comes up to him.

Gable: “Come on Sloan, Diana. We know your injury is complete BS. You owe me this!”

The crowd boos as Gable looks around. The referee walks up to him and says something to him. Gable just looks down. The referee turns and calls for the bell. He then starts to count. Gable looks down, clearly annoyed.

Sharper: “Looks like they’re not here. A shame.”

Winters: “Gable does not look happy at all!”

10!

The referee calls for the bell. He walks over to raise Gable’s arm. Gable pulls away. He then drops the microphone before storming over to the ropes. He steps through and drops down to the floor. He storms to the back as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Gable may just be getting more and more angry by the week.”

Winters: “That may be what they want!”

The crowd continues to boo as we cut away.

Breakdown opens up backstage as Spirit Dansby can be seen outside of the locker room of Regan Street. She waits a moment and the door opens. Regan steps out. She just smirks seeing Spirit.

Spirit: “Regan, I was wondering if I could get a word.”

Regan: “Why? Going to say something about Sienna.”

Spirit: “Not my place to pry, but I did want to get a comment about Hazardous Envy and what’s next for you. On Twitter-“

Regan: “What’s next? I apparently go to the back of the line. Selena Frost can now howl from the rooftops about how she stepped on my head and pushed me off the ladder again. The problem is that as she should well know I don’t just take it and at some point, this all will come back to haunt her. She knows I had her and she knows this isn’t done. She has what I want.”

Regan pauses for a moment.

Regan: “Now frankly, I planned to come here to Breakdown and just cave her precious little skull in and just force her to hand me the title from her brain damaged state. But then I realized, I know her better than most and what better way to remind her that no matter what she does, I will be there….then to do what she wanted to do. And I get to go after someone who frankly, if their career is ended by my hands, I’ll throw a God damned celebration…I will get another shot at the World Title. And if I have to go through the US Championship to get it…”

Regan turns to Spirit and smiles.

Regan: “How’s that for a comment for you. She can run with Perfection and pretend to look out for her friend. I’ll just make sure she’ll never get one over me.”

Regan turns and heads back into her locker room. The scene fades to black.

Ace Marshall vs. Akira Kimura

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

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

ADRENALIZE ME

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

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, from Houstin, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, the Original Jolly Roger Gangster, Ace Marshall!"

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

Sharper: “Ace Marshall may not be the Adrenaline Champion. Time limit draw against Christy Matthews. But if he wants his rematch, he needs to keep the pressure on.”

Winters: “And that means continuing to win. Make it a foregone conclusion, just like Christy Matthews is trying.”

The opening from ‘Lucifer’s Theme (SCW Remix)’ by the Heavy Young Heathens kicks in over the PA system, two red strobe lights either side of the entrance way flashing in unison as the lights in the arena dim. Smoke starts to our through the entrance way as the rift kicks in and the lyrics begin

I start to wonder is this real life
Throw out a candle, turn out the light
the cause of morals make you feel like you're better than it
Think twice, being evil has a price

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, now heading to the ring and weighing in at 193Ibs, he is originally from Hiroshima, Japan and is now residing in Las Vegas Nevada. He is Akira Kimura!”

Akira slides under the bottom rope and chooses a turnbuckle, jumping onto the second rope and raising both his arms aloft, a single spotlight now landing on him, as the arena lights fade back in. Akira bounces on the second rope and somersaults backwards into the ring as the music fades. The music fades out and we start hearing “Ace!” chants. Akira looks around a bit annoyed.

Sharper: “This crowd firmly on the side of Marshall. Kimura has been impressive, but the fans here in America have not quite taken to him. He’s a bit cold.”

Winters: “Cold or not. Results are what matters. He’s looked good, but he’s not gotten all of the wins.”

The bell sounds. Ace starts to move around the ring. Akira watches him too. Ace moves in and Akira kicks him in the ribs and forearms him in the side of the head.

The crowd cheers. Akira starts to get up, glaring at him.

Winters: “I wouldn’t piss him off!”

Akira gets up and Ace goes to grab him and knees him in the ribs. He goes for a vertical suplex, but Akira blocks it with a knee to the face. He then drops down and hits a kick to the leg. Ace falls to a knee. Akira backs up and then dives forward with a standing shining wizard. He goes for another pin.

The crowd ohs. Some cheer, but some boo, cheering for Ace. Cassidy tries to get the crowd behind Ace. Ace falls to the mat hard and rolls over. Akira looks around.

Sharper: “My God! What a kick! Akira Kimura with a hell of a flying kick that may have just got him two points!”

Winters: “Cover him! You’re listening to the crowd! Cover him! You could beat a former World Champion!”

Akira turns and then dives on top of Ace.

Ace shoots his shoulder up. Akira looks up. He then turns and grabs Ace’s legs. He starts to go for the Kimura Lock. He starts to try and turn Ace over. Ace struggles and Akira keeps trying.

Kelcey: “You asked us to come here?”

Mr. D: “Yes, Kelcey, Shawn…thank you for coming.”

Kelcey: “What’s this about?”

Mr. D stands up.

Mr. D: “I need to ask you to agree to an alteration to your match. A logistical one.”

Kelcey: “We already talked about the Thunderdome-“

Mr. D: “It’s not about that.”

Kelcey: “Then what?”

Mr. D: “We’ve agreed on the roofed cage. That’s set. We need you to agree to the following.”

Mr. D then hands Kelcey a piece of paper.

Kelcey: “This-“

Mr. D: “I’d appreciate you not saying it out loud. At least not with cameras here. If you turn it down…”

Kelcey just looks at Shawn. Shawn walks over. He looks at it. He shrugs.

Kelcey: “I think I can agree.”

Mr. D: “Thank you.”

Kelcey nods. Mr. D takes the sheet back.

Mr. D: “I can now move forward.”

Kelcey: “That all?”

Mr. D: “Yes. Thanks.”

Kelcey starts to walk out of the room. She then stops. Shawn Mason looks at her. Kelcey then turns back.

Mr. D: “For what?”

Kelcey: “For when I hit you a few years ago. You were right. You deserved better and I wasn’t myself.”

Kelcey walks off. Mr. D watches her leave as we cut to the ring.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace apologizing. We knew that Monarchy didn’t reflect her actual thoughts, but wow…didn’t expect that.”

Winters: “And what does Mr. D have planned? What change did she agree to?”

Jinn vs. Amy Chastaine

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

Phillips: The following contest is a Shot of Adrenaline match set for one fall with a ten minute time limit.

"Robot Metropolis" starts to play and suddenly, the big screen begans to flash red and black with a strange symbol of a phoenix in flight. As it flashes, we see the screen show 32XX appears as it starts to count backwards until it reaches our current time. As soon as it reaches, a bright beam of white light appears on the rampwayas if cut through space and time. As the audience strains their eyes to see, it looks like from the light emerges a young man with blonde hair and futuristic battle armor. The light disappears from behind him and he looks to the left and right before crossing his arms and firing off an impressive array of fireworks and flames.

Phillips: Introducing first, from parts unknown.......JINN!

Making his way to the ring, he takes off his weaponry, leaving it in a neat pile off to the corner. He leaps to the apron before catapaulting himself over the top rope and rolling into the ring where he strikes a pose on one knee and the pyro on the four turnbuckles go off. Then he stays in his corner while blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words:

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd. She starts down the ramp, greeting fans along the way.

Phillips: His opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana and weighing 155 pounds.......AMY CHASTAINE!!!

Amy gets in the ring by hopping up on the apron, and stepping between the second and third ropes. She goes to the second rope in the corner near the ring steps, and poses for the fans, one arm in the air, the other on her hip, a smile for the cheering fans. Amy hops down and goes to the opposite corner, and does the same pose. Amy then hops down and awaits the start of her match as the music fades and the light stop flashing.

Ding! Ding! Dong!

Jinn from the sound of the bell is on the attack, trying to use his speed and agility to catch Chastaine off balance with a front kick in corner. Chastaine is up to the task and sidesteps the assault and then waits until Jinn turns around and she monkey flips him out of the corner. Ever showing his agility however Jinn lands on his feet but then turns around and runs right into an arm drag take down by Chastaine. Jinn wastes no time getting back his feet but then is met with another arm drag. This time Chastaine does not let him go, instead wrenching on the arm and making into very painful.

Sharper: Jinn calling on his speed in the early going but Amy Chastaine going with her experience.

Winters: I think Jinn is going to find the he does not have as much as a speed as in this one either, but that remains to be scene.

Chastaine has Jinn up and back up against the ropes before she sends him for an Irish whip. She tries to catch him with a clothesline but Jinn goes high above her with a leap frog before catching her with beautiful drop kick when she turns around. Jinn tries to go for the cover but as he does, Chastaine tries slide on The Tourniquet. Jinn backs quickly before Chastaine has it locked it though, and the crowd begins to cheer as competitors circle each other again. As they are circling Chastaine notices an opening and slaps on a side head lock. Not to be outdone Jinn takes her over with a back suplex to the mat and then he immediately goes for the cover.

Jinn has Chastaine back up on her feet again but not for long as he sends her down with a snap suplex. Without going for a cover going Jinn goes for a stationary shooting star press and he connects with Chastaine's with a knee right to her forehead before going for the pin attempt.

Sharper: Big kickout by Amy Chastaine.

Winters: Jinn is wearing her down though. He could be one big move away from another upset victory.

This time Jinn wants to go for it and so he heads outside to the top rope. Once he gets there though Chastaine is up and she climbs ropes on the inside to will the fight is on. After a couple straight right hands Chastaine gets the upper hands, cinches Jinn up and a massive superplex. Both are down for moment until Chastaine gets up and despite moving a little gingerly on her knee she gets up Jinn and hits not one but two swinging neckbreakers in succession.

Chastaine with momentum in the match swinging in her direction now hits to a fisherman suplex for the cover

This time Chastaine moves in while Jinn is trying to recover along the ropes but moves out the way and Chastaine goes tumbling out the ring. Realizing this might be his best chance to get back into the match, Jinn runs the ropes inside the ring and flies over the top with a suicide dive that leave wrestlers on the outside on the floor.

Phillips: Two minutes remaining!

Sharper: Its anyone match now!

Winters: Time to find out who wants it more!

Jinn rolls over. Amy winces. She turns and Jinn grabs her. He drags her away from the barricade and rolls her into the ring. Jinn then hops onto the apron. He grabs onto the top rope.

Sharper: “Looks like Jinn may want it more right now. Or maybe just has more energy.”

Winters: “Amy started late in the tournament. She had the US Title match. A lot going on. It may be catching up to her.”

Jinn then pulls himself up. He looks back and jumps to the middle rope and then to the top rope and goes for a moonsault. Amy rolls out of the way. Jinn hits the mat and rolls out of the way. Amy starts to get up and Jinn slowly gets up and Amy runs over and hits a running DDT. Jinn is spiked and rolls to his back. Amy turns and throws her arm over.

Sharper: “With second left, Amy Chastaine manages to keep Jinn’s shoulders to the mat and get the two points.”

Winters: “And the log jam in that block continues!”

Amy starts to get up as Jinn rolls over. She looks around before looking a bit saddened. The referee raises Amy’s arm as she turns to Jinn and nods. Jinn just nods back lightly as Amy walks over and grabs her US Title. Just then, her music cuts out and we hear the sound of two voices talking, one of whom is clearly Amy.

Chastaine: “I know. But given that the son of a bitch didn’t deserve to hold it in the first place.”

A male’s voice is heard.

Man: “Just be happy that they’ve seemed be done with you. They may have finally gotten wise to things. They want to screw around like that, they’re out.”

Chastaine: “Frankly, they should just be fired. One talks about justice. The other is a misogynistic asshole. Trust me, those days away from some of the house shows…they’re a blessing when they’re backstage.”

Chastaine looks around before dropping down to the floor. She starts to head to the back. The voices continue to play.

Man: “Every promotion has them. They’re just the guys that need a good ass-kicking and they’ll go the other way.”

Chastaine: “Not these two…They spent two year’s planning to get Ravyn Taylor away from this title. I should talk to D. Make sure that we’re on the same page. I don’t think they deserve a shot.”

Man: “I doubt he’ll show his hand. But I can see him agreeing in principle.”

Chastaine: “I hope-“

The voices end and we return to hear Amy’s theme. She stops at the stage and looks around. She then heads backstage.

Sharper: “What in the world? That was Amy Chastaine and I want to say Shane Lawson. That sounded like a recording of a conversation of theirs.”

Winters: “And it was just played over the soundsystem. Amy doesn’t look pleased. But frankly, not like it’s much we don’t know. She does not like Wiseman and Cain.”

Sharper: “I assume that’s who they were talking about. What is going to happen tonight.”

We then cut away.

Breakdown opens up backstage to see Gable Winchester walking over to Mr. D as Mr. D walks out of his office. Christina is with him.

Mr. D: “Christina. Can you find out who the hell got that over our system?”

Gable: “D!”

Mr. D stops and turns to Gable.

Mr. D: “Sorry Gable, but I have other issues to deal with-“

Gable: “I asked for Sloan and Diana to be here.”

Mr. D: “They’re not.”

Gable: “I can see that. I waited in the ring and they didn’t come out.”

Mr. D: “I don’t know what to tell you. I assume they may have been given a few days off. As much as I may sometimes personally deal with that being here, they didn’t come to me.”

Mr. D tries to head off.

Gable: “They’re ducking me.”

Mr. D turns back.

Mr. D: “I’m sorry Gable. All I can say is when they’re next here and cleared, I’ll happily book a match. Until then…”

Mr. D walks off. Gable just sighs and shakes his head. We then see Amy Chastaine heading over to Mr. D. We cut to the ring.

Shilo Valiant vs. Tommy Valentine

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

The masses shout as "Sin with A Grin" by Shinedown is heard. A growing fog forms near the entryway of the ramp as a spotlight shines down on the ramp

From the fog rises Shilo Valiant, his mask the ever-smile of the jester. At those words, Valiant slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, locking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. Valiant slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his mask glowing amidst the red of the rain and white of the spotlights

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, has a ten minute time limit and is part of the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament. Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Shilo Valiant!”

The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it. With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “One match here tonight that is main event worthy. Two former World Champions stepping into the ring to go one on one in order to continue the climb here in the Shot of Adrenaline tournament. In the ring first, you have multiple time World and United States Champion, Shilo Valiant, who is a man you’ve had history with Shawn.”

Winters: “Oh most definitely. Shilo and I duked it out in the main event at Rise to Greatness a few years ago. He was a tough opponent, even though I managed to beat him for that SCW title. Shilo brought the fight and I have no doubt that he will do the same here tonight against Tommy Valentine.”

Sharper: “And speaking of Tommy Valentine…”

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Darkest Of Kin" by Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, hits.

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas. A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"STAND UP, FISTS OUT - THIS IS THE REAL THING!"

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

The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp in a set of shades with a custom logo on the lens, as he looks out into the audience that are now cheering loudly, chanting his name in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands, fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he spins one hundred and eighty degrees and resumes walking down to the ring.

Phillips: “Introducing next; from Raleigh North Carolina, weighing two hundred and five pounds… THOMAS VALENTINE!!!”

As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and goes to high five as many fans as possible before moving on down the ramp, reveling in their adoration and cheers before he slides underneath the ropes and takes a look at Shilo before he runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, making beckoning gestures again before smiling at all the fans in the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. Thomas then takes the sunglasses off and hands them to the referee, telling him to keep them safe before waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “A former Star of Tomorrow, as well as a man who has gone toe to toe with so many of the greats here in SCW. He has held every championship he’s eligible for, except the SCW Adrenaline Championship. A title that he nearly won during a hard fought battle with Christy Matthews at last year’s Rise to Greatness.”

Winters: “Tommy has been through some wars during his time in SCW, and he continues to evolve and withstand the test of time. The crowds still love him and he always displays some amazing ability in the ring. I said Shilo is a tough opponent, but Tommy always brings the fight. This should be good.”

The referee checks with both men before calling for the bell. Valentine lifts his hand up in the air, signaling for a tie-up. Shilo slowly begins to extend his hand but delivers a haymaker with his other hand, staggering Valentine. The crowd boos. Valentine hits the ropes only to come back with a haymaker of his own, connecting with Shilo’s jaw. Shilo stumbles a bit before firing away with a haymaker. Valentine takes the hit then connects with another shot of his own, with the crowd cheering Valentine. Shilo goes for another one, but Valentine dunks under, then grabs Shilo and drops him with a quick reverse DDT and hooks the leg.

1! Shilo kicks out rather quickly.

Sharper: “An exchange of haymakers to start us off. Shilo didn’t want to go for the test of strength against Valentine, so he blindsided him.”

Winters: “I don’t know if I’d say that. He saw an opportunity and took it.”

Sharper: “To each their own in that regard, Shawn.”

Valentine lifts Shilo up and hits a few forearms before backing him into the ropes. Valentine then whips him across the ring into the corner and follows up with a running clothesline. Shilo stumbles out of the corner and Valentine follows up with a kick to the midsection, before hooking Shilo and planting him with a twist of fate. Valentine then hooks the leg once more.

1!

Shilo kicks out. The crowd boos. Valentine gets to his feet and waits for Shilo. Shilo slowly climbs to his feet and Valentine goes on the attack, going for an enziguri, but Shilo dunks it. Valentine goes for a back kick, but Shilo grabs Valentine, now holding him by both legs before delivering a wheel barrow suplex. The crowd “OOOHHHsss” upon impact. Shilo goes for a quick cover, but Valentine rolls through and both men get to their feet at the same time. Shilo this time lifts his hand up in the air, to go for a tie up. Valentine slowly moves his hand up, before quickly kicking Shilo in the gut and whipping him into the ropes. Shilo hits the ropes and bounces off, going for a flying clothesline, only for Valentine to connect with a spear. The crowd erupts as Valentine goes for the cover.

1!

2!

Shilo kicks out once more.

Sharper: “Valentine taking the fight to Shilo just as you said he would, Shawn. Both of these men want to stay in this tournament so they can edge closer to being crowned champion once again.”

Winters: “You have to give credit to Shilo however. He is taking some abuse but he keeps getting back up. Like you said, both of these guys want this. It’s going to come down to who wants it more.”

Valentine slowly lifts Shilo off of the mat, only for Shilo to land an European uppercut, which staggers Valentine. Valentine goes for a punch only for Shilo to grab ahold of Valentine and take him down with a snap suplex. Shilo gets to his feet, runs into and bounces off of the ropes and connects with a Rolling Thunder. Shilo then hooks the leg.

1!

2!

Valentine kicks out. Shilo gets to his feet and begins to kick Valentine in the ribs until the referee steps in and backs him away. The crowd begins to boo and Shilo immediately smirks and takes a bow. Valentine slowly pushes himself up off of the mat. Shilo charges and grabs Valentine, taking him down with a swinging neckbreaker. Shilo stomps on Valentine’s back and head before lifting him off of the mat. Shilo keeps hold of Valentine as he quickly runs into the corner and connects with the E-factor. Shilo hooks the leg once more.

1!

2!

Valentine kicks out once again. The crowd begins to cheer for Tommy Valentine “TOMMY! TOMMY! TOMMY!”

Sharper: “The crowd showing support for Tommy who is definitely in need of it right now as Shilo seems to be in firm control.”

Winters: “Shilo is showing the world why he is a multiple time SCW Champion.”

Shilo goes to lift Valentine up, but Valentine drops down, driving his head into the chin of Shilo. Shilo staggers some and Valentine goes for a flying clothesline, only for Shilo to catch Valentine and plant him with the Morningstar. The crowd boos as Shilo hooks the leg.

1!

3…NOOO!!! Valentine shoots the shoulder up just in the nick of time. Shilo gets up and once again stomps on the head and back of Valentine before slowly beginning to stalk him.

Sharper: “That was a close one but Tommy was able to dig down deep to give himself a fighting chance.”

Winters: “I don’t know how much of a chance he has. Shilo is already waiting for him.”

Tommy slowly gets to his feet, staggering a bit. Shilo moves in for the kill, grabbing hold of Tommy and going for the Inside Joke, only for Tommy block, rolling through. Tommy kicks a stunned Shilo in the gut and plants him with the Griever’s Bane and hooks the leg.

1!

3…NOOO!!! Shilo kicks out!

Tommy gets to his feet and goes to grab Shilo, but Shilo reaches up and pulls Valentine into an inside cradle. The ref begins the count, unable to see Shilo holding the tights.

1!

3!

The crowd boos as the ref calls for the bell. Shilo rolls out of the ring and begins to celebrate as Tommy looks on in disbelief.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Shilo Valiant!”

Sharper: “And Valiant wins again. Tommy Valentine and Shilo Valiant having a war, but Shilo keeping himself in the tournament and in the hunt.”

Winters: “And leading the pack if I’m not mistaken.”

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine continues to struggle. You wonder if worrying about PUNK HAZARD has been in the back of his mind. He’s been so focused on so much.”

Winters: “Regardless, Shilo Valiant taking advantage and winning.”

Sharper: “With the tights.”

Winters: “It worked!”

Shilo Valiant exits the ring. He then starts to walk to the back. The crowd boos him. He just looks around smiling as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Adam Sharper here alongside Jonathan Knots and tonight, we still have a huge Tag Team Championship main event.”

Knots: “The hubris of Honour Code. Already on top of the world as champions, screwed over Blake and Bree and now they’re mocking them by AJ wrestling twice. It’s going to be their downfall!”

Sharper: “And we have still a big Shot of Adrenaline Tournament match when Donovan Kayl and Tyler Tucker do battle. But along with that, Rachel Foxx and Marie Jones will compete for a Television Title shot.”

"BELIEVE IT!"

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

Sharper: “She managed to do it. She defeated her former friend, Regan Street. Showed that she is ready for the challenge.”

Knots: “And now she can sit back and relax? Is that it?”

Sharper: “Not at all.”

Knots: “She’s in the roofed cage match, but damn it, I want her defending that title. She’s got plans. Come on. Let’s see em!”

Sharper: “Blake and Bree at Retribution, teaming with Kelcey Wallace. She also has a match against Kelcey that she’s agreed to with Wallace. We’re unsure about when that match will take place.”

Selena Frost reaches the ring. She walks up the steel steps and enters into the ring. She looks around as her music continues to play. She stops in the middle of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. She then turns and walks over to the corner, grabbing a microphone placed for her on the apron. She turns and walks over to the middle of the ring. She looks around as the crowd cheers her.

Selena: “This I know is an image that Regan Street is considering vomiting over, but I hope that you realize I am not fake anything. You are one of the best to step in this ring. I will proudly say that. But at Hazardous Envy, I was better than you and I am still the World Champion!”

The crowd cheers as Selena nods. She looks around.

Selena: “Now I already know that some people are wondering what is next for me. Some people were talking about how I’m jumping the gun. I have plans. That’s what Mr. D said to Amy a few weeks ago. And I do. He and I have talked and I simply made it known what I wanted to stand for as World Champion. I also want to make sure I stand here not as some hypocrite and more importantly, that I stand for what I feel is right.”

The crowd cheers faintly.

Selena: “And that’s why I was pleased when Kelcey spoke to me and agreed to allow me to stand up alongside her against Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason at Retribution inside the roofed cage. The fact is that the two of you are two of the more disgusting people on this roster. You’ve tried to end Sienna’s career. You tried to end my career. You threatened Kelcey’s career at Hazardous Envy, but on top of that all, you went to Simon Lyman’s house. Someone who is respected by everyone. Someone who had a stroke and then threatened to attack him….”

Selena just looks down.

Selena: “I thought this was personal before when you went after one of my best friends, when I saw the fear on her face as she was loaded into the ambulance, with a stringer. I thought this was personal when you threatened to end my career, willing to use a banned piledriver. Willing to get a suspension….”

Selena pauses again. She shakes her head.

Selena: “Even the fact that you’ve mentioned you have two piledrivers, knowing that you can handle the fine and deal with the suspension….that’s just as sickening as it gets. And trust me, come Retribution, Kelcey and I are going to extract whatever revenge we can for everyone you’ve attacked and anyone who sees you as the scum you are. You may be World Tag Team Champions, and yes, that match may be for them, but I want to make this clear…that is secondary.”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “This is about the two of you getting everything you deserve and not being able to run and try to get better terms. This is about the two of you getting taught a lesson that you will never forget. Believe i-“

The crowd roars as Selena is suddenly nailed from behind. The crowd ohs and we see a hooded man standing over her. The man dives down and nails Selena in the back, clubbing her over and over and over again. We then see security running over to the ring, from the crowd, presuming it was a fan. They enter and the man gets a few more shots in as Selena covers up. We then see the security guards pulling him back. The hood comes off, revealing it to be Dylan Howell. The crowd roars. Howell looks around before yelling at Selena.

Dylan: “Regan’s the champ! She’s the champ! You’re not! Give it to her!”

Dylan tries to get free before being forced down to the mat. Dylan tries to fight off as Selena rolls over and looks over. She just looks at Dylan as he’s dragged to the floor. The security guards start to drag him around.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell coming from the crowd?!”

Knots: “Saying the title should be Regan’s!”

Sharper: “Security dragging him off. He came from the crowd!”

Selena just watches Dylan as Dylan keeps yelling at Selena.

Dylan: “Come on! You know it! It’s Regan! Everyone! Chant! Regan! Regan! Regan!”

The crowd boos, although some fans do start to follow Dylan Howell, laughing as they do. Dylan keeps getting dragged around the ring as Selena just looks at him, grabbing her World Title. She holds her back a bit as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We return to Breakdown and we see Dylan Howell backstage with security. He’s being dragged through the backstage area.

Dylan: “Give the title to Regan! It’s Regan’s! You’re a fraud Selena! Just like with my Addy! It was mine! MINE!”

Security: “Alright, Dylan. Let’s just get you out of here.”

Regan: “Whoa….whoa…”

Regan jogs over to the security guards.

Security: “Sorry, Regan, we’re to get him out of here-“

Regan: “And if you don’t want to walk with a limp for the rest of your life, you’ll let me do it.”

The guard looks at Dylan and then to Regan.

Security: “Fine…but you take him out of the building. Bring him back in and we’ll toss you too.”

Regan walks over and Dylan turns to Regan.

Dylan: “Sis!”

Regan: “Hi Dylan. Great to see you. I’m sure Selena was happy to see you too.”

Dylan: “Did exactly as you asked.”

Regan smiles as she starts to escort him out. The guards stand a few feet behind, following them.

Regan: “She needed something a bit more personal. Best family in the business.”

Regan and Dylan head off.

Rachel Foxx vs. Marie Jones

Television Championship Eliminator

The lights in the arena go dark as “Take me to Church” by Hozier plays through the dark arena.

“My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it”

As the bass line comes in, white strobes begin pulsing from the entryway, in rhythm with the music, illuminating the plume of smoke which is rising from the stage.

“My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you—

I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.”

As the “Amens” ring out, the arena goes dark again and remains that way until the chorus rings out and the white light once again illuminates the entryway showing Rachel Foxx slowly emerging from the smoke. She is wearing a black zip-up hoodie with “MERCENARY” written in what looks like red paint on the back.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one-fall, has a fifteen minute time limit and is your Television Championship Eliminator! First, on her way to the ring, from New York City, New York, she is Rachel Foxx!”

The hood covers her head, but her emotionless eyes still stare out with a far away look as she slowly makes her way down the ramp to the ring, never acknowledging the intense reaction of the crowd around her as an eerie calm and coldness radiates from her. At the bottom of the ramp, she slowly climbs the stairs and slowly makes her way into the ring with none of her usual theatrics. Once in the ring, she makes her way to the corner where she sits down and stares back at the entryway.

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx has an opportunity here tonight to earn a shot at the Television Championship. We know that will be Kennedy Street, as she was successful against Gigi Steward.”

Knots: “Yeah, but she has to get past Marie Jones. Looking to bounce back from Hazardous Envy. May not be US Champion, but could get a shot at the TV Title.”

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the Crown Jewel of Professional Wrestling, Marie Jones!”

As for Marie herself, she pays little to no attention to the reaction she is receiving from this hostile crowd. Her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. She then smirks, shakes her head smugly muttering 'in your dreams' before stepping into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd.

Sharper: “You wonder if Marie is going to take to heart what Amy Chastaine said to her.”

Knots: “I don’t know what the hell Amy is talking about. Marie didn’t do anything against the rules. Didn’t bend anything. Probably just the pressure getting to Amy. With Shot of Adrenaline, the US title, and all that.”

The bell sounds. Marie and Rachel look at one another. They start to circle the ring. They then lock up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another before Rachel turns into a side headlock. She pulls back. She then spins around and grabs the arm of Marie. She wrenches it. Marie winces. Rachel turns and moves into a hammerlock. Marie reaches down and then reaches up and grabs Rachel’s head. She jumps up and drops down and snapmares Rachel through. Rachel gets up and turns and Marie catches her with a kick to the ribs. She turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Rachel goes for a clothesline. Marie ducks and bounces off the other side. She turns and Rachel hits a dropkick, knocking her down.

Sharper: “Big dropkick. Rachel caught Marie right in the jaw.”

Knots: “Get to the floor!”

Rachel turns and grabs Marie and hooks the leg.

Marie kicks out. She turns and rolls over to the ropes. She starts to get up and Foxx walks over and elbows her in the back of the head. She elbows her again. She then turns her around and places her against the ropes and whips her across. Marie bounces off and Rachel goes for a clothesline. Marie ducks and bounces off the other side and runs at Rachel and hits a flying headscissors. Rachel rolls through. She gets up slowly and Marie kicks her in the ribs. She hits a vertical suplex into a floatover.

Rachel kicks out. She turns and Marie grabs her. She drags her up. She then whips Rachel into the ropes. She bounces off and Marie kicks her in the ribs. She then steps back and hits a jumping scissors kick to the back of Rachel’s head.

Sharper: “Kick to the back of the head. Marie may be the quicker of the two. Rachel just dropped and face first into the mat.”

Knots: “The shot to the back of the head, then going face first to the mat. A tonne of fun for Foxx.”

Marie then grabs Rachel and starts to go for a crossface chickenwing. Rachel fights her off a bit and manages to get her feet under her before Marie clubs her in the back of the head and then again. She then spins Rachel around and whips her into the ropes. Rachel bounces off and Marie goes for a clothesline. Rachel ducks underneath. She then stops. Marie starts to turn, but Rachel grabs her head and hits a diving bulldog. Marie rolls to her back and slowly starts to roll to the apron. She tries to pull herself to the floor, but Rachel grabs her by the leg. She then starts to drags her back to the middle of the ring. Marie rolls over and jumps up and manages to hit a kip-up frankensteiner!

Sharper: “Marie tried to get to the floor. We’ve been seeing her use the ring to her advantage. Rachel knew that was coming and Marie countered, with the frankensteiner.”

Knots: “Marie’s now just changing the game. Thought she would do one thing, she now does something completely different.”

Marie gets up as Rachel gets up and staggers to the corner. Marie moves in and nails her with a forearm and then another and another. She grabs Rachel and whips her hard across the ring. Rachel hits the corner hard. Marie then grabs her and whips her hard again, but this time, Rachel runs up the crowd and dives off with the Foxxsault, taking Marie down. The crowd roars. Both women start to get up and Marie staggers up and goes for a clothesline. Foxx ducks and hooks her up and hits the Downfall. She rolls Marie over and goes for the pin.

Marie gets her shoulder up. She slowly rolls over. Rachel gets up and grabs Marie. She then starts to drag her up. Marie suddenly nails her in the ribs and hits a double arm DDT. Marie rolls over to the apron. Rachel rolls over to her back, holding her face.

Sharper: “Marie managing to hook her up and hit the DDT.”

Knots: “Yeah, but can’t take advantage. So if you can’t, go to the floor! Get some distance. Reconsider the plan!”

Marie rolls to the apron and looks down to the floor before turning and Rachel starts to get up. Marie then springboards to the top rope and dives forward with a guillotine leg drop to the back of Rachel’s head. Rachel hits the mat. She rolls over and Marie gets up. She grabs her by the head and plants her with the Ave Maria. The crowd ohs. Rachel rolls over and Marie hooks the leg.

The crowd roars a bit. A mixed reaction comes from the crowd. Marie rolls over.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, your next Television Championship Contender, Marie Jones!”

Sharper: “Marie Jones considered going to the floor. Saw the opening though.”

Knots: “And Marie Jones may not be US Champion, but she’ll not be TV Champion either.”

Sharper: “We’ll see. She faces Kennedy Street next week on Breakdown!”

Marie Jones gets up and has her arm raised. She celebrates as Rachel holds her head in pain. The crowd continues to buzz as Marie Jones walks around the ring.

The scene opens up backstage to see Tommy Valentine seated backstage.

Tommy: “You know given that you attacked Ikiro earlier…”

The camera pans out and we see Jake Starr.

Starr: “Yeah…well, my motivations changed a bit. I figured he was in the SoA. I should’ve been there. I figured I’d at least make that position clear. Then PUNK HAZARD….”

Tommy: “And you went after them.”

Starr: “You know me…you don’t piss off Jake Starr.”

Tommy: “Look…we’ve known each other for a while. But Dawn told me earlier, she doesn’t trust you. I guarantee others don’t. And frankly, you just are dropping in because they pissed on your shoe. They’ve been coming after me for months, Jake.”

Starr: “And I’ll help you kick their ass.”

Tommy stands up.

Tommy: “Look…it’s going to take some more to-“

Just then, we see Tommy shove Jake out of the way as Rudo runs over and kicks him in the ribs. We see a shot of Grundy grabbing Jake and Rudo nails Tommy, knocking him down. Starr nails Grundy with a shot and then another before Rudo turns and kicks Starr in the ribs. Dante runs over and nails Starr too. Starr drops down and the three PUNK HAZARD members attack Starr over and over. Starr drops to the floor. Tommy grabs a pipe and turns and runs over and swings at them. They back off and scatter.

Sharper: “PUNK HAZARD going after Starr!”

Knots: “A message!”

Sharper: “This has to stop! This is getting out of the control!”

Tommy: “Jake…you okay….Jake…”

Tommy heads over to Jake as we cut away.

Breakdown returns and we open up backstage to see Ravyn Taylor standing by with Jessica Winters. She looks around, clearly watching for PUNK HAZARD.

Jessica: “I am here with Ravyn Taylor and we just saw PUNK HAZARD launch another attack. You are one of the people explicitly mentioned by Dante McCaffery.”

Ravyn: “And I’m still waiting for the chess game to continue. But that’s a different matter. They seem to want to make clear to all of their enemies that they’re capable of doing what they want. They have every reason to feel that. Syren, who frankly is getting a much needed day off, fought her best, but Alexis Quinne managed to win. I hope she cherishes that. But Dante and I…we’re far from done and it looks like others have joined the fray, but-“

Ravyn stops and turns and we see Dawn Lohan walk up to her. Ravyn just smirks.

Ravyn: “I was wondering when you’d show up.”

Dawn: “Why Ravyn…The key. And when?”

Ravyn: “Sleight of hand. Before we all went out, I happened to just slip it down there. You fortunately didn’t notice and why…to see if Dante’s really paying attention.”

Dawn: “I don’t need to be part of another chess game involving you. I had my fill last summer.”

Ravyn: “Nothing meant by it, at least to you. Now if you want to keep talking, we probably should do it inside my locker room. Especially with PUNK HAZARD about.”

Dawn just looks at Ravyn and heads off and away. Ravyn just watches her leave as we cut away.

Brett Sinclaire vs. Darrin Miles

The arena goes dark as the beginning riff of "Protovision" begins to play throughout the arena. A bunch of smoke begins to gather at the top of the entrance a way as Darrin Miles slowly comes walking out with his head lowered and a spotlight hovering over him. The words "The Wanderer Has Arrived" shows up on the titantron above him as the lights turn on in the arena and Miles lifts his head with a big smirk on his face and an unlit cigarette hanging from his lips.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Anywhere He Pleases... DARRIN MILES!”

Darrin nods his head as he begins to walk down the ramp as the fans around the arena show how much they feel about him as a lot of boos begin to flood the arena. As he approaches the ring he stands there for a moment before climbing the steps and into the ring. He does one pace around the ring and then stops and looks straight at the hard camera taunting the fans in front of him.

Sharper: “After a hot start here in SCW, the man known as the Wanderer has lost quite a bit of traction over his past few matches.”

Knots: “Can you blame him? People have been cheating left and right against this man because they can’t handle what he brings to the table!”

Sharper: “You’re wrong on at least one of those counts Jon, but many people have pointed to this young man’s overconfidence and lack of dedication to the business as a big factor in his current slump.”

“Kingdom” by Downstait hits the speakers as all the lights in the arena go out, though a number of fans will light up their phones to try and cut through the darkness. As the lyrics begin, the Tron suddenly comes to life, playing past clips of Brett Sinclaire in action. As the song reaches the line “Waiting for me to start the show” a lone spotlight suddenly shines down on the center of the stage, revealing a figure with his back turned as he stares up at the Tron, the spotlight reflecting off the numerous sequins on his robe, especially the “Evolution Incarnate” script on the back. As the song hits the chorus, the figure suddenly spins around and throws his arms up, palms to the sky as gold pyro rains down behind him and all the lights slowly come back on, albeit dimmed quite a bit.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Manhattan, New York; weighing in at 230 pounds; he is Evolution Incarnate... BRETT SINCLAIRE!”

Brett Sinclaire looks out at the fans with a smile as he slowly makes his way down to the ring, the spotlight following him. There are definitely a lot more cheers than before, but there’s still a few vocal boos from fans that haven’t bought in to his change quite yet.

Knots: “How can this man be smiling when he was part of one of the biggest travesties at Hazardous Envy?”

Sharper: “While it was Lexi von Aaron who ended up dragging Bree Lancaster down to the ring, you are right that Brett started it, but considering she and Blake were trying to duck their title defense, something clearly booked by AJ Helms’ Trios contract-”

Knots: “Who cares what that contract said? Blake already had a match and shouldn’t have needed to compete twice, and Bree wasn’t even dressed to compete! You’re actually going to justify this lunatic’s actions just because he wants his hands on Bree for some stupid reason?”

As the commentators argue, Brett has reached ringside and hopped up onto the apron. He steps between the ropes before he makes his way to the center of the ring where he repeats his pose from up on the stage, closing his eyes to take everything in as the lights all return to normal now. Unfortunately, that’s the opening Miles needs as he blasts Sinclaire from behind! The fans clearly show their hatred for the Wanderer as he starts stomping away at his opponent, the referee trying to pull him away so he can officially start this match but Darrin refuses to listen. Seeing no other choice, he just signals for the bell to start the match as Miles pulls Brett to his feet and shoves him into the corner, where he begins pummeling him with rights and lefts without mercy.

Sharper: “A cheap shot by Miles and now he’s all over Brett Sinclaire! At least let the man remove his entrance gear first!”

Knots: “Why should he? You said it yourself that this kid doesn’t care much for the business and he’s been in a slump, so why should he be stupid and let Sinclaire get out of the blocks? Besides, I think Bree and her personal designer would probably agree with me that a robe that nice is too good for this Hollywood reject.”

Miles continues his assault a little longer before he irish whips Sinclaire across the ring into the opposite corner. He charges after him, but Brett finally gets in gear as he surprises Darrin coming in with a pendulum kick! He ends up on the apron as Miles stumbles back, and Brett decides to buy himself a little extra time as he slowly climbs to the top rope, being careful not to trip on his robe, before he soars and catches the Wanderer with a beautiful diving crossbody! The fans are cheering for this turnaround, and Brett pumps them up even more as he shouts out to them while finally removing his robe and tossing it out to the floor for one of the ringside attendants to retrieve. Miles gets back to his feet and charges at Sinclaire with a clothesline in mind, but Brett ducks it and grabs him before connecting with a shoulder jawbreaker that sends Miles rolling over to the ropes. He starts using them to get to his feet, but as retaliation for the cheap shot before the bell Sinclaire just charges him and catches him with a front dropkick that knocks him through the ropes and out to the floor!

Sharper: “Brett Sinclaire is finally in the driver’s seat, and it’s clear he’s not too happy about Darrin’s pre-match tactics.”

Knots: “This is a guy who’s so angry about not having a match with Bree in some company that’s long dead and was never as great as SCW anyway that he’s trying to ruin her career. And you call Lexi crazy for doting over AJ.”

Sharper: “She attacked Sinclaire with a pipe when he was trying to do the task she stole from him! I think that- look out!”

Sharper’s sudden reaction is because while he and Knots were talking, Miles had gotten back up to his feet using their table for support, and Brett saw an opening as he stepped out onto the apron and springboarded into a beautiful asai moonsault onto the Wanderer! The fans applaud the aerial attack as Miles slowly tries to crawl away while Brett uses the table himself as aid back to his feet. He eyes Miles carefully as he starts getting back up before he moves to try and grab him, but Miles manages a drop toe hold that sends the former A-Lister face first into the steel steps! The cheers immediately turn to boos as Miles just chuckles to himself while Brett clutches his face, and it doesn’t get any better when Miles shoves him from behind and he goes face first into the ring post! He takes a moment to shake off the lingering effects of Brett’s retaliation before grabbing him and roughly throwing him back into the ring before rolling in himself.

Knots: “Hah! You think Brett will freak out over those movie star good looks of his being busted up?”

Sharper: “I doubt it, since Brett’s made it clear he’s not that kind of man anymore. Regardless, being introduced to the steel has definitely turned the tide of this match back into Darrin’s favor.”

Miles doesn’t opt for a cover, instead staying on the mat beside Sinclaire so he can start grinding his forearm into his face, smirking all the while. Brett manages to shove Darrin’s arm away and tries to roll towards the center of the ring to create some separation, but Miles is back on his feet and as soon as Sinclaire is at least to his hands and knees he takes a few steps and punts him hard right in the ribcage! Brett collapses to the mat as he starts gasping for aire, but Miles quickly moves in for a cover.

Right as his hand hits the mat for two, Brett’s got a shoulder up. Darrin isn’t deterred as he takes the opening and starts dropping a fast and furious series of elbow drops to Brett’s ribs, trying to drive even more air out of the man’s lungs. He grabs Brett by the hair and rocks him with an uppercut to the jaw that sends the former A-Lister reeling back against the ropes. As he starts to try and recover, Miles measures him before running and bouncing off the opposite ropes, perhaps hoping to catch him with an early Drive By Kick, but before he can get his feet off the ground Sinclaire suddenly blasts him in the face with a very beautiful dropkick that definitely gets the fans on their feet!

Sharper: “A picture perfect dropkick from the former A-List Superstar!”

Knots: “It’s hard to hate on a dropkick that perfectly executed, unless the guy doing it is a man who has no sense of respect for his superiors!”

Sinclaire takes a moment to clear his head as Miles starts to rise, gritting his teeth in anger now. He starts to close the distance, but Sinclaire kicks him in the gut before he hooks him for a fisherman suplex, sticking the bridge upon landing!

Miles kicks out! Brett grits his teeth now as his ribs are still bothering him from Darrin’s latest assault and the bridge didn’t help matters. Still, he’s stunned Miles enough to catch him trying to rise with a leg drop bulldog to buy a little more time. He looks to the corner and then starts making his way to the top rope, the Wanderer starting to rise. Sinclaire measures him from the top and as soon as Miles is vertical again, he leaps off and catches him with the Falling Star! He tries to go for a cover, but Miles quickly rolls over to the ropes in hopes of getting Evolution Incarnate to back off. Instead, Brett smirks as an idea begins to form, grabbing Miles by the ankles and proceeding to get them tied up in the top rope. The fans are buzzing with anticipation as Brett slides under the bottom rope out to the apron, and as he rises the referee moves to try and free Miles only to be deterred by the Wanderer’s frantic flailing as he tries to get himself free. He tries to pull his upper body up to reach his ankles, but this is exactly what Sinclaire wanted as he slingshots himself with some impressive hang time right into a nasty double stomp to Darrin’s chest!

Sharper: “I can’t say I’ve seen that before. Brett Sinclaire executing a slingshot variation of the Walk Through Central Park and the Wanderer is in a lot of trouble!”

All we get from Knots is an audible groan as the fans are roaring, sensing that the end may be near. The referee manages to free Darrin’s feet from the top rope as he crumples to the mat in a heap, and Sinclaire starts measuring him as he gingerly tries to make it back to his feet. Miles ends up stumbling right into Brett’s clutches as he grabs his arm, perhaps looking to apply the Chains of Evolution, but Miles suddenly lunges at Brett and catches him with a wild headbutt! The cheers immediately vanish as Brett lets go and stumbles back, rocked by the unexpected blow and that gives Miles enough space to drop the former A-Lister with a hard rolling elbow! He falls to the mat as well, clearly dazed from Brett’s onslaught but there’s enough of a smirk to know he’s got time to recover and wrap this up. He slowly gets back to his feet, stumbling a bit as he still tries to collect himself, but he’s recovered enough to notice Sinclaire attempting to get back to his feet, and this is when he bounces off the ropes and this time lands the Drive By Kick! Miles immediately goes for the cover.

Brett Sinclaire kicks out! The fans are showing their support as Darrin looks at the referee in disbelief before he begins frantically clubbing away at whatever part of Brett’s body he can reach.

Sharper: “Miles is starting to get frustrated that he couldn’t put Sinclaire away, and if he’s not careful he could get himself disqualified.”

Knots: “I’d be more concerned on whether or not Brett still has a face left after those shots if I were you!”

The referee warns Miles that if he doesn’t back off he’ll be disqualified, but while the Wanderer does stop he stands up tall and gets right in the referee’s face, almost daring him to go through with it. He can’t help but smirk when the referee doesn’t pull the trigger, and that smirk lingers as he moves over to grab Sinclaire and pulls his head between his legs, and the fans are immediately booing when it becomes clear he’s trying to set up for the Dead End.

Sharper: “Don’t tell me Darrin Miles is actually going to try and use a piledriver on Brett Sinclaire!?”

Knots: “Why not? It’ll save Blake the trouble of having to waste one of his. Besides, you said yourself he doesn’t care about this business, so why should he care about the piledriver ban?”

Sharper: “Because he’ll be fined and suspended over it, that’s why!”

Miles secures the cradle and begins to lift Brett up for the dreaded banned move, but Sinclaire frantically kicks his feet to shift his weight enough to return to the mat. Miles is annoyed as he tries one more time, but Sinclaire manages to drop to his knees to block it this time. Darrin clubs him across the back before trying to pull him back up into position, but Sinclaire slips free enough to surprise the Wanderer with the Eye Opener! The fans breathe a collective sigh of relief, as does the referee for not having to call for a piledriver DQ. Miles gets back to his feet and takes a moment to shake off the cobwebs before he angrily charges at Sinclaire, but the former A-Lister manages to sidestep Miles and blast him in the back of the head with a forearm! The impact sends Miles bouncing chest first off the ropes before stumbling around right into the waiting arms of Sinclaire, who lifts him up into a gory special before planting him with the new Natural Selection Ω! He rolls over and covers Miles.

The bell rings as “Kingdom” by Downstait hits again as Sinclaire slowly rises to his feet, a smile on his face as the referee raises his arm.

Phillips: “Here is your winner... BRETT SINCLAIRE!”

Sharper: “A hard fought victory for Sinclaire here tonight as he continues looking forward to what may hopefully be a successful year for him.”

Knots: “If he really wants to be successful so badly, then he needs to keep his nose out of Blake and Bree’s business before he gets hurt! If he thought Miles beat on him pretty bad, he hasn’t seen anything yet!”

Miles rolls out to the floor and collapses in a heap as Brett takes a moment to walk around the ring, soaking in the cheers and getting used to hearing them at long last before he takes his leave and starts heading towards the back.

Tyler Tucker vs. Donovan Kayl

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

“Adrenaline” by Shinedown begins blasting through the arena as blue and yellow lights pulse rapidly in an alternating fashion on the stage. As the opening guitar riffs of the song come to an end, blue and yellow pyro goes off on stage, and when the lyrics start Tyler Tucker excitedly leaps through the smoke and starts getting the fans amped up for the impending match. Right behind him are Craig Thomas and Stacy Kissinger hand-in-hand, both with big smiles on their faces as Craig puts an arm around Tyler’s shoulders and they all stare out at the cheering fans.

Phillips: “The following contest is a Shot of Adrenaline Tournament Match scheduled for one fall, introducing first, One half of Adrenaline Rush, from Denver, Colorado at 170 pounds, Tyler Tucker!”

When the song hits the chorus they all break into a full sprint down the ramp, Craig and Tyler leading as Stacy is right behind them. The boys simultaneously slide into the ring and Stacy hops up onto the apron behind them, where Craig will go and hold the ropes open for her to join them inside. The two of them share a quick kiss before Craig joins Tyler in climbing opposite corners and point out at the fans as Stacy stands in the middle of the ring between them, proudly pointing to the boys as the fans roar. Craig and Tyler both climb down and they all go to pose in the center of the ring, Tyler sliding onto his knees in front of Craig and Stacy as he extends his arms with a big smile as Craig puts a calming hand on his friend’s head, his other hand grabbing Stacy’s before they both throw their intertwined hands into the air.

Craig helps Tyler to his feet and the group convenes to their corner to discuss strategy for the match ahead.

Sharper: “The quick and impressive Tyler Tucker with a recent upset victory of former World Champion, Amy Chastaine is looking for another as he takes on veteran, Donovan Kayl.”

Knots: “Kayl is tough, he trained Kennie, I’m going with Kayl.”

Sharper: “Just like that?”

Knots: “He has Stacy Kissinger in his corner, nuff said Sharper.”

"Epic" by Faith No More starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation. Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd, until the second chorus hits...

Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby.

Phillips: His opponent from Toronto, Ontario weighing in at 230 pounds, he is the “Cornerstone” of Professional Wrestling, Donovan Kayl!”

He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head as the crowd showers the ring with streamers, cascading down around him as he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl has been extremely impressive the last few months, he vowed to win this tournament and so far he has done exactly that, the veteran has his sights set on the but Tyler is a tough task.”

Knots: “Sure, he’s a tough challenge but look at Kayl, I’m not a fan of neither but Stacy Kissinger is the bigger evil.”

Sharper: “Be nice.”

Knots: “That IS being nice.”

The referee checks both competitors and calls for the bell to the start of the match. The two men shake hands, they circle the ring and lock up, Donovan hits an arm drag, Tyler kips up and is caught with a hip toss but he lands on his feet and delivers a head scissor take down as the crowd cheers, he gets back up as does Kayl who is met with a kick to the gut and a couple of kicks to the ribs before hitting a standing dropkick knocking Kayl down, he runs against the ropes and hits a Rolling Thunder going for the quick pin….

Kayl Kicks Out!

The veteran gets up and Tyler ducks an attempted clothesline, turning back and getting planted with a Tilt a Whirl Headscissor Takedown as the crowd cheers. Tucker bounces off the rope just as Kayl gets back to his feet and delivers a Diving Somersault Neck Breaker on Kayl, he quickly goes for the cover…

Kick Out by Kayl!

Tucker gets back up and runs against the ropes just as Kayl helps himself up with the use of the ropes, he sees Tucker and flips him over the top rope but Tucker lands on the apron, Kayl turns and Tyler hits a kick to the side of Kayl’s head staggering him back, spring boarding off the ropes with a flying body press but he gets caught in midair by Kayl and driven down in a huge powerslam hooking the leg for the cover…

2!

Kick Out by Tucker!

Sharper: “Tyler Tucker coming out like a house of fire early, he is not working by the hour and we saw this same offense from him against both Kennedy Street and Amy Chastaine, an exciting young man but he went to the well one too many times and the veteran, Kayl caught him with a huge slam to change the momentum.”

Knots: “This guy is like a gnat, buzzing around and annoying the hell out of you, Kayl is smarter than this and it’s a pivotal match for both of these men to stay in the race for the Adrenaline Title!”

Kayl picks up Tucker and whips him into the turnbuckle, he follows through with a huge elbow and follows with a bulldog. Kayl turns him over for the pin attempt….

1!

2!

Tucker Kicks Out!

Kayl nods and picks up Tucker again, hitting a couple of stiff fists and a couple of forearms to Tucker before snapmaring him over and driving a set of knees to his back. He locks in a rear chinlock to slow down the pace of the match and wrenches back on Tucker….

Knots: “Smart move and that’s why he’s the Cornerstone, Sharper, slowing down the pace and grounding the gnat.”

Sharper: “I can’t argue that strategy, its smart and we have seen it before, Tucker once he gets going it is hard to stop this young man, Kayl needs to keep him on the ground.”

Kayl continues to wrench back, Stacy and Craig watch from the outside as Tucker screams “No” to the referee as he continues to ask him if he is ready to quit. Kayl lets go of the hold and quickly gets Tucker to his feet, he turns Tyler around and hits a snap suplex rolling over for the pin…

1!

2!

Kick Out by Tucker!

Kayl grabs Tucker again and locks in a headlock driving him down to the mat to wear down Tucker. He holds it in for a few moments as Tucker starts to fight and get to his knees. Kayl continues to hold the side headlock until Tucker gets to his feet, he pushes off Kayl to the ropes who bounces back with a huge shoulder block knocking Tyler down, he runs the opposite rope and Tucker kips up surprises Kayl with a Hurricarana! He holds him down for the cover….

Kick Out by Kayl!

Sharper: “Tucker is quick as a hiccup! We saw that even fast wrestlers like Kennedy were having difficulty with him, he may be the fastest man in SCW!”

Knots: “You stop talking about Kennie! He wasn’t fast enough but as for Kayl, he needs to be ready for anything here! Swat the gnat!”

Kayl gets up and Tucker forearms him a few times, he whips him against the ropes and hits a Belly to Belly suplex, quickly hopping to the top rope and waiting for Kayl to get up and as he does hits a thunderous Missile Dropkick. The Crowd roars as Tucker jumps on Kayl for the cover….

Tucker looks wide eyed at the referee who holds up two fingers. Tucker claps as the fans get behind him, he waits until Kayl gets up and springboard off the ropes but gets caught in a thunderous spinebuster as the crowd again roars. Kayl yells at the ref to count….

3…No! Kick Out by Tucker!

Sharper: “Back and forth these two are going and showing how bad they want it!”

Knots: “They are right for the pickings Sharper! Kayl needs to get that knee right now and get his points!”

Kayl picks up Tucker, he suplexes him but drops Tucker to his knees, the Point Blank set up as Donovan runs against the ropes and goes for the knee to finish the move. Kayl runs at Tucker but the young man at the last second ducks and rolls up Kayl in a school boy putting all his weight on the pin….

1!

But before Tucker can get to his feet and rolls backwards Kayl catches him mid roll and pins him down to the mats…

The bell rings and Kayl rolls off and to his feet as Tucker looks up in shock.

Knots: “Ha! He got him Sharper with quickness!”

Sharper: “The veteran showed why he is the Cornerstone, what a smart move, taking Tucker down and gaining a huge two points!”

The referee raises Kayl’s arm in victory as Epic plays throughout the arena….

Phillips: “The winner of the match, Donovan Kayl!”

The Cornerstone gets cheers by the crowd. He claps and nods at Tucker who nods back in a show of respect clearly disappointed, rolling out of the ring to Craig and Stacy….

Sharper: “Huge win for Kayl and now he has positioned himself nicely in the tournament.”

Knots: “The gnat has been swatted!”

Tucker heads to the back as Kayl is in the ring talking to the referee and acknowledging the crowd…

Alex Drake vs. Travis Daniels

“Leader of the Heart Broken” by Papa Roach starts to play in the arena. After a shortened intro, spotlights circle around the arena. Alex Drake walks out from the back and looks around and extends his arms. Mickie Road walks out with him. Drake spins around before starting to walk to the ring. He raises his arms in the air as the walks down as the crowd boos him slightly. Road follows him down. The boos continue as Alex Drake struts a bit to the ring and walks around the ring before hopping onto the apron. Mickie Road walks around the ring before walking up the far steps. Drke looks at the crowd, showing himself off for a brief movement. He steps through the ropes and spins around before stopping and posing in the middle of the ring. Mickie Road enters and walks over to him and stands behind him, posing. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Alex Drake on his way to the ring. He was to face Travis Daniels tonight. Daniels however not cleared to compete, but he’s out here.”

Knots: “With the most beautiful girl in the world. Looks really similar to someone else, but probably better.”

Sharper: “You mean to tell me that Kennedy has said nothing regarding Alex Drake bringing out someone who looks very similar to her cousin.”

Knots: “Outside of the fact that she’s not a Sexy, Flawless Diva. And she’s not. But she’s an attractive woman.”

Sharper: “He’s demanding a microphone. What in the world is on his mind?”

Drake is handed a microphone by Jason Phillips. He turns back to the middle of the ring. He joins Mickie Road as Drake looks around.

Drake: “I know. I know. You were all ready to watch the Heartbreaker compete and show why SCW’s future is in more than capable hands. But my opponent has seemingly elected to feign injury, not wanting to be a statistic and fall to my greatness.”

Drake shakes his head as Mickie Roads looks around, smiling.

Drake: “But, in many ways, this is better for everyone involved. It is better for all of you because you don’t have to waste your time wondering when you’ll see the Bittersweet Ending and when a heart will be broken by yours truly. And for me, it allows me to do something that frankly needs to be done. I need to eliminate another CHBK who thinks they could even be on my level.”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Wait a minute.”

Drake: “That’s right. There is another CHBK. And another CHBK that is here tonight. And I have arranged for him to come down to this ring and even arranged for SCW to sanction this match.”

The crowd cheers some more.

Knots: “What? I thought he was injured!”

Drake: “Please welcome….my opponent and the fraud that I will remove from the record books….”

Drake looks around.

Drake: “The Californian Heartbreak Kid, Calvan Greene!”

The crowd boos as “Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake begins to play throughout the arena. Calvan Greene steps out from behind the curtains while pulling back on his fur coat to shift his midsection back and forth for the cameras that immediately zoom in on his amazing abs. He raises his arms up at the top of the ramp before running his hand down them. He shivers a bit while outstretching his arms, posing for the masses.

Phillips: "On his way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California, the Californian Heartbreak Kid…Calvan Greene!”

He proceeds to make his way down the ramp while shaking a finger at fans, informing them they are not allowed to touch him. He proceeds up the steps at rapid succession before stepping over the apron where he proceeds to dance with each step. He stops halfway to seductively drop his coat with each beat, watching himself on the big screen. Just as it is about to fall off his shoulders he drops it entirely, catching it with his hands before slinging it in between his legs, catching it with his right hand before slinging it outward. He jumps quickly with one leg through the second and third rope before spinning out inside of the ring with his arms outstretched. Dancing across the ring he stops in the center where he drops to his knees where he proceeds to glide his hands down over his body, telling everyone to eat their vitamins, drink their organic non fat milk and strive to look as good as he does.

Sharper: “Well he’s not incorrect. Calvan Greene did for a brief period have a rivalry with the real CHBK, in which he called himself the Californian Heartbreak Kid. He hasn’t gone by that name in years.”

Knots: “But it’s like a throne. You can’t have any imposters of the royal blood line!”

Sharper: “This imposter is trying to take Alex Desoubrais’ mantle. I get it. He’s a fan, but come on!”

Knots: “No. He’s the new CHBK. And SCW has always been the top place when CHBK was a factor.”

Sharper: “In any case, Calvan Greene was Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster’s replacement along with Alex Desoubrais Jr. That may very well been where he got the idea. But what about Alex Desoubrais Jr.?”

Calvan Greene looks around as Alex Drake walks back and Mickie Roads rubs his shoulders a bit before dropping down. Drake hands off his entrance attire. The crowd boos as Drake and Greene look at one another. The referee shrugs and calls for the bell. The bell sounds and Calvan and Drake move towards one another and Drake immediately nails Calvan with a snap jab. Calvan falls to his knees, holding his jaw. He then looks up and Drake nails him with a hard left and then a hard right. Calvan falls back. He rolls over and starts to get up and Drake grabs Calvan and wrenches the arm and pushes him to the ropes. He turns and fires him across. Calvan bounces off and Drake hits a back elbow. He then walks to the ropes and looks around as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Drake going for the face.”

Knots: “Probably the best plan against someone like Calvan.”

Calvan rolls over and starts to get up. Drake turns and grabs him and hooks him up and snap suplexes him over. He goes for the pin.

Calvan kicks out. He turns and Drake grabs him and lifts him up. He then nails him with a back elbow and knocks him into the corner. Drake grabs him and whips him across the ring as a loud “CHBK!” chant begins. Calvan hits the opposite corner. Drake looks around and motions to the crowd to keep chanting louder, getting boos from the crowd. Drake then runs across and Calvan gets his boot up. Drake staggers back. Calvan runs out and clotheslines Drake down. Drake pops back up and Calvan jumps up and hits a dropkick. Drake rolls over to the ropes.

Sharper: “Calvan Greene with a dropkick and let’s be fair to him. He can go. He’s beaten some top stars in the past and he’s held SCW gold.”

Knots: “Yeah. Former Tag Team Champion too. That’s why Bree and Blake picked him and Alex Jr. It didn’t work, but they have a resume. That’s why Drake needs to take him out!”

Drake gets up at the corner and Calvan runs over and hits another dropkick. Drake hits the mat and falls over to the mat. He rolls over and Calvan runs over and goes for the pin.

Drake kicks out. He turns and starts to crawl away. He gets up at the ropes. Calvan moves after him and forearms him in the jaw and then again before whipping Drake into the ropes. Drake bounces off and Calvan hits a spin kick. The crowd ohs. Drake hits the mat. Calvan then hits the break-dance leg drop. The crowd roars. He goes for the pin.

Drake kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up. Calvan grabs him and places his head between his legs. He then goes to flip through, but Drake backdrops him over. Calvan flips through to his feet. He turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Drake scoops him up and hits a powerslam. The crowd ohs. Drake then gets up and walks into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a knee drop. He rolls through.

Sharper: “Knee drop right to the forehead.”

Knots: “I think he does that better than-“

Sharper: “Stop it. And now…he’s standing next to him. Don’t tell him going for the Showstopping Trifecta…”

He then jumps up and hits a flipping senton. He gets up and hits a standing moonsault before getting up and hitting a standing corkscrew moonsault. He goes for the pin.

Calvan kicks out. Drake looks up and grabs Calvan. He pulls him in. He then double underhooks him and DDTs him down. Drake turns and exits to the apron. The crowd boos as he climbs up to the top rope. He then looks over at Calvan as he gets to the top rope. Calvan then suddenly gets up and runs into the ropes, landing on the top rope. Drake lands hard and flips forward, down to the mat. He then starts to stir as Calvan grabs him and drops him with a DDT.

Sharper: “And Calvan Greene fights back with a DDT that drives Drake right on his pompous face!”

Knots: “Hey!”

Sharper: “What is he going to say if Calvan beat him tonight?”

Calvan gets up and looks around. He then points to the air. He looks around, almost waiting for something. Just then, his music starts to play and Calvan nods before starting to dance in the middle of the ring. Some of the women in the crowd cheer as Calvan then moves over to Mickie Roads and dances seductively in front of her, trying to invite her into the ring.

Knots: “What the hell?!”

Sharper: “Well we had a dance off a few weeks ago when Ace Marshall faced Ikiro Yoshida. Calvan Greene conned the production guy too.”

Knots: “Drake’s up though. And Calvan’s moving in on Mickie Road!”

Calvan then backs up and Drake spins him around and blasts him with the Bittersweet Ending. The crowd ohs. The music ends immediately. Drake then drops down and rolls through for the pin.

The crowd boos. Drake rolls off. He looks up. Mickie Road just looks in the ring as Drake has his arm raised. He then drops down and rolls to the floor.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Alex Drake.”

Drake walks over to Mickie. Mickie looks in at Calvan as she turns back to Drake. Drake and her start to head to the back.

Sharper: “Drake got the win. Calvan Greene, he never was the quickest guy in the world…dancing was not a good strategy.”

Knots: “And Drake has vanquished the CHBK imposter!”

Sharper: “Give me a break!”

Drake and Road continue to the back as Calvan Greene remains down in the ring.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Mickie Road and Alex Drake walking backstage. Drake can be seen saying something to Mickie Road before she turns and heads off. Drake turns around and smirks before heading down one hallway. The camera follows him before he walks up to Ravyn Taylor. Ravyn turns and notices him.

Ravyn: “Can I help you?”

Drake eyes Ravyn up and down.

Drake: “Well I can come up with a couple of ideas.”

Ravyn just smirks.

Ravyn: “I forgot. You’re trying to rewrite history, suggesting you’re the Canadian Heartbreak Kid. And let me guess-“

Drake: “I saw the tape.”

Ravyn smirks.

Drake: “Perhaps we need a sequel…and I guarantee it would last longer.”

Ravyn just scoffs and looks down before looking up at Drake.

Ravyn: “Trust me…you wouldn’t even know what to do with me. And what about Mikaela…sorry, Mickie.”

Drake: “She’d understand.”

Ravyn: “I’m sure. Alex, you’re not even half the man he was. Leave me out of it. I have bigger things to worry about.”

Ravyn heads off. Alex Drake just smiles before turning back around and heading off.

We open up at the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Alex Drake is taking this delusion to ridiculous lengths.”

Knots: “Hey, let’s be fair. If Ravyn was interested, that’s the man’s dream. A Bad, Bad Girl and Mickie Road. Almost matched by a night with Kennedy Street!”

Sharper: “Uh-huh.”

Sharper shakes his head.

Sharper: “In any case, the 2017 Trios Tournament will be coming up in ten days on Supreme Saturday. We announced the eight teams on Twitter last week. Tonight, we give you the brackets. Let’s take a look.”

The SCW Trios Tournament logo comes up on the screen. We then see the brackets come up.

Alexis Quinne, Dawn Lohan & Donovan Kayl

Vs.

Blake Mason, Konrad Raab & Katie Steward

Gable Winchester, Ace Marshall & Jake Starr

Vs.

Torsten Voigt, Vixen Cain & Kelcey Wallace

Syren, Merrick Wiseman & Bree Lancaster

Vs.

Rachel Foxx, Shane Lawson & Selena Frost

Tyler Tucker, Tommy Valentine & Dante McCaffery

Vs.

Sienna Swann, Kayla Jones & Lexi von Aaron

The crowd cheers seeing them.

Sharper: “Some big matches. We already know some of the teams are going to be unique, but let’s take a look at some of this.”

Knots: “Yeah. You see Selena Frost and Syren facing off in the first round. But I look at that first match, Blake Mason and Donovan Kayl to get a chance to clash. After the destruction of their car, Blake gets some revenge.”

Sharper: “Or Donovan Kayl gets revenge on Blake Mason. But let’s also point out, Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason, Selena Frost and Kelcey Wallace, tag partners at Retribution, they could potentially face off, but only in the finals.”

Knots: “And Lexi and Bree could clash in the second round. We see PUNK HAZARD and some of their rivals, each round, they could face someone they don’t care for. Some really interesting situations to come out of this one.”

Sharper: “I’ll say it now. This may be the most even field we’ve ever seen. Any of these teams could win and it wouldn’t be an upset. February 11^th, Supreme Saturday, Trios Tournament, live from Vancouver.”

We then cut to the entrance way. We see Mr. D walking down to the ring.

Sharper: “And now we have the boss coming to join us.”

Knots: “Maybe we’ll find out whatever the hell he was talking to Kelcey about earlier.”

Mr. D reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then enters the ring and walks across the ring to the corner and is handed a microphone by Jason Phillips. Mr. D takes it and walks back to the middle of the ring. He then looks out at the crowd.

Mr. D: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am out here because I have something to announce regarding Retribution.”

The crowd cheers.

Mr. D: “SCW will next be on pay per view on March 5^th and as we already know, Selena Frost and Kelcey Wallace will face off against The B&B Experience inside a roofed cage.”

The crowd roars.

Mr. D: “Now earlier tonight, I met with Kelcey Wallace to ask for a change. It was a change based on something else that I’ve decided needs to happen and I thank Kelcey Wallace for agreeing to the logistic change.”

Knots: “Well what is it?!”

Mr. D pauses for a moment.

Mr. D: “See after watching a lot of what has happened in previous weeks and continuing to see what has happened tonight, one idea to settle things once and for all, it just wasn’t logistically possible with the roofed cage hanging over the ring as it was. And then I thought about it. SCW already has another roofed cage ready for use. It just requires two ring to be present.”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Wait a minute…”

Mr. D: “It will give Kelcey, Selena, Blake and Bree a bit more space, but it also allows me to announce the following match for Retribution. I am sick and tired of the gang attacks from PUNK HAZARD and many deserve their opportunity for some revenge. And looking at the Lumberjack Match from Hazardous Envy, plenty more needs to be resolved. So at Retribution…PUNK HAZARD, find five members, supporters, whatever you have, because you will face off against Ravyn Taylor…Dawn Lohan…Tommy Valentine…Kennedy Street…and Jake Starr...”

The crowd roars.

Mr. D: “…in Tactical Warfare!”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “My God! Tactical Warfare returns at Retribution!”

Mr. D brings the microphone down and hands it back to Jason Phillips. He then walks over and steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor.

Sharper: “PUNK HAZARD has risen to the top, but now, in one night, we may see a number of their victims get some revenge.”

Knots: “But wait. Jake Starr? They can’t trust him. I’ll take Ace Marshall over him!”

Sharper: “Mr. D feels Jake Starr may have a more relevant axe to grind. Syren also on the outside.”

Knots: “I guess they had their opportunities at Hazardous Envy. But…”

Sharper: “And plus, with the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament, PUNK HAZARD’s options could be interesting. My God…what an announcement!”

Mr. D heads to the back.

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of the B&B Experience vs, Honour Code.

Sharper: “And when we return, Tag Titles on the line.”

Knots: “Honour Code better be ready for a fight. And Lexi better stay in the back!”

Sharper: “Honour Code defends against B&B Experience in their rematch from Hazardous Envy…next!”

The scene fades to black.

The B&B Experience (Blake Mason & Bree Lancaster) vs. Honour Code (AJ Helms & Shaun Cruze)

SCW World Tag Team Championship

We open up to see Jason Phillips in the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship!”

The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. The lights go out.

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

“G.O.A.T” by CFO$ featuring Will Roush echoes from the louder speaker. The lights go out. When the lights come back on Blake appears on the stage with his back turned to the ring, his arms stretched out. Blake turns around. He looks over his shoulder, he waves his hand calling out his tag team partner, Bree Lancaster. She walks out with a smile, meeting him at his side, and both take a moment to soak in the less than stellar reaction from the audience.

Phillips: “First, the challengers. From New Orleans, Louisiana, she is Bree Lancaster. From Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason. Together, they are the B & B Experience!”

They kiss each other passionately to egg the crowd even more. They make their way down the ramp, wasting no time getting to the ring. Bree slides in the ring, first. Blake slides in after her. Bree hops up on a corner, posing with one arm overhead, the other propped on her hip, flashing a bright yet smug smirk at the crowd. Blake leans against the opposite corner. Bree hops down and joins Blake. They are in the midst of going over last minute details until the match starts.

Sharper: “Unlike Hazardous Envy, they are showing up tonight and they’ve convinced AJ Helms to do double duty.”

Knots: “Yeah. But he needed a rest. A long one. Plus, Blake’s jaw could’ve been broken!”

Sharper: “That’s why we have a trainer’s room. And he looked fine later in the evening. It was a Trios contract. Blake was cleared.”

Knots: “How would they know?!”

Sharper: “In any case, AJ Helms may be about to show Blake what a real ironman is.”

Knots: “What?! Has he been celebrating with Lexi?”

The lights flicker in the arena, before going off fully, a single spotlight shining on the entrance way as it's fills with smoke. The spotlight then starts to strobe, as the opening riff to ‘Rise’ by Sixx: Am hits over the PA system and two figures step into the light, through the smoke

Phillips: “And this opponents, accompanied by Angyalka Cruze and Scarlett Pearson, they are the SCW World Tag Team Champions, from Newquays, England, Shaun Cruze, and from Ashbury Park, New Jersey by way of Hollywood Hills, California, AJ Helms, they are Honour Code!”

The light comes back on, AJ and Shaun nodding to each other before looking over their shoulders, Scarlett Pearson and Angyalka Cruze walking behind them and putting a hand on AJ and Shaun’s shoulders. The SCW World Tag Team Championships sit over their shoulders With a smile at each other, AJ and Shaun make their way down the ramp to a thunderous ovation from the fans. Both of them take time to high five with the fans, before they start to run, sliding under the bottom rope and into the ring. Both of them then hop up onto a turnbuckle, and raise a fist in the air to another huge reaction. They then jump down, walking over to Scarlett and Angyalka who are stood in their corner, AJ kissing Scarlett and Shaun does the same to Angyalka, before the two girls walk back down the steps. AJ and Shaun then hand off the titles to the official who holds them over his head.

Sharper: “Honour Code ready to go. AJ Helms not going to hide.”

Knots: “Well he’s just going to show he can’t last. Have you ever had to do a round two? And he was with Dawn earlier-“

Sharper: “Stop it!”

The referee hand off the titles to Jason Phillips. He steps back and the calls for the bell. Shaun exit as Blake runs over and quickly kicks AJ in the ribs. He pulls AJ away from Cruze and over to a neutral corner. He then kicks him in the ribs and then again and again. The crowd boos. The referee calls for the break. Blake then grabs AJ and whips him across the ring. AJ hits the corner. Blake runs after him and AJ gets his boot up. Blake catches it. He then shakes his head.

AJ nails him with another shot and then goes for a fourth, but Blake grabs his arm and pulls him back into the B&B corner. Bree tags in and Blake holds onto AJ’s arm. Bree enters and kicks AJ in the ribs. Blake then pulls him through the ropes as he exits. Blake kicks AJ in the face. AJ pops back and Bree takes him down with a drop toe hold.

Sharper: “Bree and Blake all over AJ. Obviously trying to go for the more tired of the two.”

Knots: “Also least experienced. Remember, Cruze is a former World Champion. They know that too.”

Sharper: “And closer with Kelcey. Possibly even wanting to avoid giving him any hints if there are any issues. Good wrestlers can tell if their opponent is hurting.”

Knots: “Please. They’re both in PERFECT health.”

Sharper: “Blake cutting off AJ before he can do anything and back in. Now choking him.”

Knots: “Honour Code may have gotten the Tag Titles. They’re not looking like favourites to retain tonight!”

Sharper: “Breakdown here in Tampa, Florida. Blake and Bree challenging AJ Helms and Shaun Cruze demanding a rematch after AJ Helms had his Shot of Adrenaline Tournament match against Dawn. Honour Code accepted and here we are.”

Cruze grabs his tag rope as Blake grabs AJ and pulls him up. He then hooks him up and throws him over with a vertical suplex. He then gets up and hits an elbow drop.
