MAIN SHOW:

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as we see a shot of Selena Frost standing on the stage, about to the run to the ring. We then see shots of Bree Lancaster hitting someone with the Rectifier and Datura hanging upside down on the ropes, posing.

Maybe I'm just paranoid
Or maybe I'm just livin' a lie
Can't stop this screamin' voice
Or maybe I'm just sick inside

Shots of Kandis hitting Gratuitous on an opponent, before showing Rated X posing as SCW World Tag Team Champions. Katie Steward is next shown posing, before we see Cassie Wolfe hitting a dive off the top rope and Adam Brock standing on the stage, smiling. Shots of Chance Owens, Simon Lyman and Dancing Bear follow, superimposed over the Breakdown logo

This is the face
I hate the other side of me
Out of this cage
He breaks to take the life from me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm not crazy

Syren is shown hitting Xander Valentine with the Total Makeover before showing Adam Allocco talking to the crowd. Glory Braddock is next shown hitting the London Plunge before we see The One Kirsten Scott proudly holding the SCW Television Championship. WASLEY is next shown as Kimberly Williams is seen smirking. The Breakdown logo flashes on the screen.

There's a psycho in my head
I'm closer to the edge
Makin' me feel like I'm livin' in misery, misery
Insane
These voices in my brain
Starting to feel like it's gonna be the death of me, death of me

Gavin Taylor hitting the Gavin Taylor lariat on an opponent is next, before we see Pro Kinneck attacking Sophie James at ringside. Konrad Raab punching Ace Marshall in a steel cage is shown next, before we see Alexis Quinne hitting a standing shooting star press. Lexy Chapel is then shown showing off Syren. Amy Chastaine posing follows.

There's a psycho in my, there's a psycho in my head

Shots of Selena Frost, Kandis, Adam Allocco, and Syren are shown before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots out from the base of the stage. The display continues for a few moments before spotlights circle the arena and the cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “Body, Heart, and Soul is in the books and Breakdown rolls into North Carolina with three new champions!”

The cameras continue to pan across the arena.

BELIEVE IT... OR NOT!

"Thank You for Hating Me!" by Citizen Soldier plays throughout the arena, the SCW Universe deafening the song with their boos. The lights shift to dark purple and blue, filling the arena as snow is seen “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back, walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe with a smirk. The SCW World Championship sits around her waist.

Sharper: “And among the new champions, Selena Frost is again the SCW World Champion. Now, a six time World Champion.”

Knots: “She is clearly happy about it. Returning, stepping into the contendership spot, and now back on top.”

Sharper: “And Retribution 2024 now will see Kandis challenge Selena Frost in a rematch from Rise to Greatness XX.”

The Retribution logo comes up on the screen before we see a still for Kandis vs. Selena Frost for the SCW World Championship. The promo graphic remains on the screen for several moments before we cut to see Selena Frost walking up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron, wiping her feet, and stepping inside. She steps forward and looks around as the crowd continues to boo her. She then walks over to the corner, getting a microphone from ring announcer Jason Phillips. Frost takes it and walks back to the middle of the ring. She looks around, scanning the crowd as the music fades. The boos from the crowd become only more apparent.

Knots: “Looks like she’s as popular here as she was in Brooklyn or Boston.”

Sharper: “And think of the great wrestling that Charlotte has seen over the years.”

Selena looks down, chuckling a bit to herself before looking up at the crowd.

Selena: “Don’t tell me you didn’t think this would happen.”

Selena looks around.

Selena: “Asher Hayes could say whatever he wanted. He could claim whatever he wanted. The fact is that I knew one thing when I walked out to that ring at Body, Heart, and Soul.”

Selena pauses.

Selena: “That I was better. I always have been better.”

Selena looks around. The crowd boos.

Selena: “And no matter how many people backstage want to cry and complain. I didn’t do anything besides demand what I was owed! And SCW, and CHBK, understood. They didn’t want to make any more mistakes. And so they gave me my rematch and I proved what I…”

Selena pauses for a moment.

Selena: “What I always knew and that is that I am the World Champion.”

The crowd boos.

Selena: “And while Asher Hayes is done with SCW. He’s gone. He’s not back. His contract ran out and naturally, he knows he cannot beat me…So was his Kismet and now, SCW has someone they can be proud of at the top-“

Before Selena can even continue…

{I CAN BE YOUR WHORE!}

“Whore” by In This Moment plays as Kandis storms out from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers as Kandis starts to walk down the rampway to the ring. She looks at the ring as Selena looks at her.

Sharper: “We’re not waiting here.”

Knots: “Nope!”

Sharper: “And what Selena Frost said about Asher Hayes, she is right in that Asher Hayes’s contract has expired. He has elected to leave SCW. And we know Kandis won’t be pleased about that. She wanted Asher Hayes to win. She wanted to beat Asher Hayes at Retribution!”

Kandis reaches the ring and walks around it. She storms around the ring and heads right for Jason Phillips. Phillips hands her a microphone, immediately recognizing what Kandis wants. Kandis takes it and turns and climbs up the steel steps and then walks along the apron and steps into the ring. She then steps forward.

Selena: “Hello Kandis!”

The crowd roars as Kandis steps up to Selena as the music fades out.

Kandis: “You are damn sure not who I wanted to see here.”

The crowd roars.

Kandis: “I was hoping that Asher Hayes would humiliate you and not just knock you back off the mountain, but watch as you cried and stormed off again, so we’d be done with you, so I could finish something personal to me at Retribution, but now you’re here. Asher’s gone. And I’m pissed right off.”

The crowd cheers.

Selena: “Too bad Asher wasn’t good enough. And you need to prove yourself to him…what does that mean about you? I think I have a good sense. Rise to Greatness XX…that was a fluke!”

The crowd boos.

Kandis: “Too bad you’ll only get to keep thinking that for four and a half more weeks because at Retribution, in Glendale, I’ll make sure there’s no doubt. You will ALWAYS be under my foot. Where you belong!”

The crowd cheers. Kandis then steps up to Selena.

Kandis: “The question that we should be asking is if you’re going to cry and bitch and complain and screw off back home when I end this reign too.”

Selena smirks.

Kandis: “Can you handle that humiliation a second time?”

Selena: “There won’t be a second time, Kandis.”

The crowd boos.

Kandis: “BELIEVE that all you want Selena, but I’m just telling you the facts. I just set a man on fire at Body, Heart, and Soul. And frankly, if I have to, I’ll set you on fire just to get that title back and make up for the one mistake I made. But unlike you, I wasn’t pinned for that title. You…I pinned you in the middle of this ring in the biggest night in wrestling history! And these fans CHEERED. Young girls CHEERED. Adult men CHEERED. I was their hero. NOT you. You…you were the person they wanted to see fall and they want to see you fall again and trust me, I plan to give it to them. That’s a bonus as I take THAT back!”

Selena smirks.

Selena: “Believe that all you want, Kandis. And they can too. Let them cheer you. I no longer care.”

Selena pauses as she looks at Kandis.

Selena: “But don’t worry, I’ll remove all doubt when I pin or make you submit. Then, then you’ll know what I KNOW. Rise to Greatness XX was a fluke. SCW has a champion they can BELIEVE in…or not. That’s their choice. What they don’t have a choice about is that I will still be champion after Retribution!”

The crowd boos as Selena and Kandis are now face to face. Kandis leans in.

Kandis: “You won’t have a choice after I knock you out and trust me, I have the most shameless celebration and no one is going to stop it this time. And if anyone has to come to terms with proving they need to belong, it’s you. You walked out and SCW moved on with me on top. And you forced your way in. I should’ve had Asher at Body, Heart, and Soul. And instead, I have you at Retribution. You said SCW didn’t want to make any more mistakes…well they made one here. And you did too!”

Kandis looks at Selena as Selena steps back.

Selena: “Believe what you want to believe.”

Selena turns as Kandis just smirks.

Kandis: “Aren’t you going to hit me with the Glass Shard? Blindside me like you did Asher?”

Selena doesn’t turn back and instead just walks to the ropes.

Selena: “I don’t need to.”

Selena steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Kandis just looks at Selena as “Thank You for Hating Me!” by Citizen Soldier plays throughout the arena.

Sharper: “No love lost between these two. They hate one another.”

Knots: “And picking right back up. Retribution…they may just try to kick each other’s heads off.”

Selena Frost continues to head to the back.

Cameras cut to the announce position where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are seated.

Sharper: “And welcome to ringside folks. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots. Great to be with you. And we’ve heard from one new champion, but we also have new Adrenaline and Underground Champions.”

Knots: “That we do. Bree Lancaster for the Adrenaline Title; Kimberly Williams is the five time Underground Champion. And we have more titles. Two titles on the line tonight. Deanna Frost returns from injury. She defends against Polly. And Twisted & Sadistic will challenge Light in the Darkness!”

Sharper: “And we expect to hear from Dark Fantasy. Brittany Lohan attacking Ravyn Taylor, leading to Light in the Darkness winning. We will also hear from the champions and from Twisted & Sadistic.”

Knots: “I think we’re going to see that a lot is still left unfinished after Body, Heart, and Soul!”

Sharper: “We will find out as Breakdown returns, live from Charlotte, after this!”

Cameras pan across the fans in the crowd as Breakdown goes to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

“Six Feet Deep” by Royale Lynn plays as the Retribution logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still for Kandis and Selena Frost follow.

Sharper: “Folks, we know it’s happening. The opening tonight made that clear. Selena Frost and Kandis will clash for the World Championship and next week, on this program, they will sign the contract to make it official.”

Knots: “You saw how it went with them in the ring for the first time since Selena unmasked. I don’t think it’s going to go smoothly.”

Sharper: “And given the accusations around Selena Frost and how she got the title shot, you wonder about this contract. Will it reveal anything else about Selena’s return? That will be next week on this program.”

The still remains on the screen for a few moments longer.

David Striker vs. “The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe

“Man in the Box” by Like a Storm plays and the crowd roars. A few moments pass before David Striker walks out from the back and scans the arena. He then nods a bit as he turns to the ring and looks at his opponent. He then starts to head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first…from Cameron, North Carolina, he is Bam Bam David Striker!”

The crowd roars as Striker heads to the ring and slides into the ring. He gets up to a knee and looks around before getting up to his feet. He then turns and runs into the ropes, before sticking his upper body under and out from the top rope, getting a louder reaction.

Sharper: “And almost a homecoming for David Striker. Grew up down the road in Cameron.”

Knots: “Well if his last matches are any indication, not like he’s going to be affected by it. Then again, he’s coming off being Kevin Hunter. He wants to beat Cassie Wolfe here. He wants to start gunning for some SCW gold!”

The opening riff of “Wolf Within” hits the speakers and once the lyrics kick in Cassie Wolfe emerges from the back excited to start the match, with her hands on her leather jacket’s sides the rookie wrestler turns her back to the crowd.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Greenock, South Australia and now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, “The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe!”

When her name is announced Cassie spins around flashing the metal horns sign with her left hand and clapping fans hands with the other, when she reaches the ring Cassie jumps onto the apron before giving her hair a full flip and removing her jacket to give to a stagehand, she then jumps over the top rope and into the ring, rolling to her knees and basking in the moment.

Sharper: “And Wolfe continues to get attention. Amazing athleticism from her. Victorious alongside her team against the House of James.”

Knots: “Completely sending them out of SCW.”

Sharper: “And now the issue is can she put it together in singles competition.”

The bell sounds. Wolfe and Striker look at one another. Striker gets his hands up and then lunges for Wolfe. Wolfe hops over him and jogs around. Striker slides through. He gets up again and then lunges at Wolfe. Wolfe dodges and then runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Striker goes for a clothesline.

He then moves into a chinlock. Wolfe slides out and rolls to the ropes. Striker gets up and looks at her.

Wolfe then looks up and Striker steps up only for Wolfe to jump up and hit a hurricanrana before mounting him and nailing him with repeated right hands.

Sharper: “And Wolfe with the frankensteiner. And now a series of hard rights.”

Knots: “Trying to just make it paintful!”

Sharper: “And maybe knock Striker for a loop.”

Wolfe gets up and walks forward. Striker rolls over and gets to his knees and Wolfe runs at him and hits a basement dropkick to the face. Striker falls back. Wolfe gets up and stands next to him and hits a standing moonsault. She hooks the leg.

Knots: “That’ll keep her grounded!”

Striker looks around and nods as the crowd cheers him. He plays to the crowd a bit before the scene cuts away.

Autumn Valentine is doing up her ring boots as we see Syren talking to Ravyn Taylor as the camera pans past both and over to Lexy Chapel who has a whiteboard up and has a variety of scribbles on top of scribbles before she then starts to draw lines all over.

Autumn: “Come on Lexy-“

Chapel: “Oh no…no, no, NO!”

Syren: “What’s wrong?”

Ravyn looks at the whiteboard, turning her head, trying to figure out what Lexy is writing.

Ravyn: “I’m impressed as even I struggle to decipher this.”

Chapel: “Oh no…and Brittany…Brittany had to do it. This is worse that I thought WORSE!”

Autumn: “Yeah, we’re not champions. All three of us lost. And with some questionable reasons why-“

Chapel: “It’s not just that you lost…it’s who won.”

Syren: “What are you talking about? Light in the Darkness didn’t know.”

Ravyn: “Almost too innocent and naïve for their own good.”

Autumn: “Bree did. But-“

Chapel: “No, Selena. Selena Frost. She’s back and…we need to get you wins, Syren.”

Chapel turns to Syren, grabbing her by the shoulders.

Chapel: “And fast!”

Chapel shakes her head.

Chapel: “I knew there was an angle. I KNEW it. It wasn’t that there was a bribe. This is all a way to hurt LexyCorp. My dad always is looking to screw me over!”

Ravyn: “Well I could see him having an issue with me…and you…but I doubt Zoe.”

Syren: “Yeah…”

Chapel: “No…this is more! Selena’s back. Wins the title. She’s ONE more World Title reign to matching you for reigns, Syren. You’re the greatest World Champion and people will doubt it if she gets it. And then what? Huh?! Then everything comes crashing down! No, no, no!”

Chapel paces.

Chapel: “We need to get the tag titles back and then get you the Adrenaline Title and assassinate Allocco and then STOP Selena! And Syren, you need wins. I need to go. I need to talk to my father.”

Autumn: “What about my match? Don’t I need the Manager of Champions? Leading the way-“

Chapel: “Stops and walks over to Autumn and then just kisses her on the lips quickly.

Chapel: “Oh my lovely wife. I think you can handle this tonight. Just do NOT go to KABLAMia-“

Ravyn: “I think it was to come in KA-“

Chapel: “NOT NOW SATAN!”

Chapel then stops, recomposing herself.

Chapel: “Autumn, beat Adonis. I already have enough to handle tonight. I have to go speak with my father. And Ravyn…don’t do…evil things. And Syren, don’t worry. We’ll keep your legacy in tact.”

Chapel turns and runs off as Syren sighs.

Syren: “It’s fine…really.”

Ravyn: “Is it? And by that I mean, her.”

Autumn: “Oh that’s still her relatively normal. Wish me luck.”

Autumn Valentine heads off as Breakdown goes to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

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

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and allow me to introduce the challengers to the SCW World Tag Team Championship…Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan, the team of Twisted & Sadistic!”

The crowd cheers as Glory Braddock comes into the scene. Some boos come for Brittany Lohan. They stand on either side of Jessica Winters.

Winters: “Glory, Brittany, tonight, you can finally earn what you’ve wanted since you started on this journey last spring. Glory, you could be a Supreme Championship when tonight ends. You could make history. And yet, we are not just talking about that. We are talking about the fact that Brittany Lohan intervened in the Tag Title match at Body, Heart, Soul, attacking Ravyn Taylor and leading, in part, to Light in the Darkness retaining.”

Braddock goes to respond, but Lohan stops her.

Lohan: “Glory…it was my decision and let me explain.”

Glory nods.

Lohan: “Yes…I attacked Ravyn Taylor. In fact, I just did something she would have done. And frankly, I just made things so they are the way they should have been. Dark Fantasy could have waited. Glory and I held a win over Light in the Darkness. Allow us to determine who is the best. But, instead, Dark Fantasy got their shot.”

Lohan shrugs.

Lohan: “So I just pulled some Infamous tactics and here we are. Now, tonight, I already knew whether we were facing Dark Fantasy or whether Dark Fantasy was the odd team out, I’d have to deal with Ravyn bending the rules. But with Dark Fantasy out, the question is now Syren.”

Winters: “What are you getting at?”

Lohan: “Syren has for the last two years been talking about how she wanted to move on from her Infamous past. That it wouldn’t define her. That she didn’t need to do that anymore! Well, Syren, you have a choice. Get revenge tonight and prove that you are the biggest hypocrite in wrestling and try to cost us the titles alongside your wife…or prove you are who claimed to be. Let Ravyn be what we know her to be. I’m ready for her. And I know Luz and Amelia won’t want to accept another successful defense with some controversy. So…Syren…are you full of it? Your choice.”

Braddock: “That is her choice. But tonight, we’re going to remove another choice…the choice to step up and retain. Brittany…this is it. This is what we’ve wanted. Light in the Darkness across from us. We’re leaving Charlotte the World Tag Team Champions and I will be a Supreme Champion after tonight. Let’s get it done.”

Braddock fist pumps Lohan as the two walk off.

Winters: “Twisted & Sadistic challenge Light in the Darkness for the World Tag Team Championship in our main event tonight. But that is a great question…what will Ravyn Taylor…and Syren….do?”

The scene cuts away.

Derek Adonis vs. Autumn Valentine

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

The sound of a xylophone scale is heard, signifying the start of the KABLAMian Taberacle Choir's jingle, "Come In KABLAMia"...

Derek Adonis rolls out atop the ramp on a cloud, alongside a number of the citizens of KABLAMia: Sweet Sangria, Mimi Mimosa, Het Meisje, and Anastasia Fantasia among them. The crowd rise to their feet in a raucous applause at the display of flesh in front of them...

Welcome to the land that loves below the belt
The sky’s are clear and pleasure is felt
Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

Adonis partially rises to his knees, waving out to the crowd as chants of "KABLAM" ring out throughout the arena. The cloud continues to roll it's way down the ramp.

Where fun-loving people can give right in
To a Man Mountain utopia where everyone wins
Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

Sweet Sangria always dressed in smile
Many men and women will go the extra mile
Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

The women on the cloud toss out small, travel-sized bottles of Derek Adonis Heavy KABLAM Lubricant and folded up travel brochures to the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from KABLAMia, he is Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

The lube flows freely, never enough
It’s a copyrighted formula, the right stuff
But even still they make you feel right at home
Whether you love cleaning the carpet or polishing chrome

The cloud makes it to the bottom of the ramp and Adonis hops off first, reaching up to help the four primary women off. They step down, each planting a kiss on the cheek of Man-Mountain before heading up the stairs. Adonis follows up last and pulls himself through the ropes, lifting them for the four women to enter the ring as well.

We don’t kink-shame here, it never allowed
It’s a comfortable place while you’re being plowed
Your greatest dreams are always on tap
Your can register now with our convenient app

Adonis moves around to the four corners, climbing onto the bottom rope to throw out travel brochures as far as he can.

That’s right, KABLAM is expanding…
It’s the dream of Derek Adonis
Come in KABLAMia, sunny KABLAMia
We mean YOU!

After finishing (heh), Adonis moves to the middle of the ring, posing with the four women around him. As the song ends, he bellows out with it...

Adonis: "KABLAAAAAAAAAAAAM!"

Sharper: “A new tourism campaign, getting air time at Body, Heart, and Soul and tonight!”

Knots: “Must have cost a fortune.”

Sharper: “Perhaps things are going well for KABLAMia.”

Knots: “He is from Vegas. Gambling wins?”

A woman’s voice can be heard as the video screens display the words she's saying in unison.

"Lexy Chapel Proudly Presents"

"THE ALLOCCO ASSASSIN"

"AUTUMN VALENTINE"

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless hits the PA system as Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage wearing a black jacket. Across her ring-gear we see the ‘Lexy Chapel Presents’ and ‘Chapel Show’ branding. She pauses on the stage for a moment before looking at the ring.

Phillips: “His opponent, introducing, hailing from Los Angeles, California, PROUDLY represented, by Lexy Chapel, this is Autumn Valentine!”

Autumn walks to the ring. She skips up to the apron and jumps up before sliding off her jacket and letting it fall to the floor. She then runs at the turnbuckles, climbing up and throwing up her arms before looking to the camera confidently. She jumps from the outside of the ropes to inside of the ring, rolling back to her feet before walking the middle of the ring and dropping down into the splits. Adonis looks on as Autumn pulls herself up and goes to her corner, glaring at Adonis.

Knots: “Adonis…that’s not going to help you!”

Sharper: “What won’t help in this one is Lexy Chapel. Not at ringside. Autumn out here alone as Lexy Chapel goes to speak with CHBK, fearing a terrible turn of events regarding Syren and her World Title record.”

Knots: “Maybe Autumn can then focus on the ring. Lexy has been getting a bit more and more involved as of late and you could say it hurt Autumn at Body, Heart, and Soul!”

The bell sounds. Autumn Valentine and Derek Adonis walk out from their corners. Adonis then extends a pamphlet that seemingly was in his back pocket. He hands it to Autumn. Autumn looks at it and then holds a hand up and places the pamphlet down in the corner before then turning and running at Adonis and nailing him with a hard right. The crowd ohs as some cheer, others boo. Autumn forearms Adonis in the jaw and then grabs him and runs him face first into the top turnbuckle. Adonis turns and Autumn kicks him in the ribs once and then again and again and again.

Sharper: “While Autumn is looking to make this a quick one.”

Adonis sees Autumn in the corner and runs after her. Autumn gets a boot up. Adonis staggers out and turns and Autumn runs out and hits a spinning heel kick. She rolls through as Adonis hits the mat.

Adonis catches her though and then falls back, driving Autumn face first into the mat with an inverted powerbomb. The crowd ohs as Autumn rolls over, holding her jaw. She slowly gets up and turns to Adonis who hoists her up and hits a Samoan drop.

Sharper: “Samoan drop as Adonis gets Autumn Valentine up on his shoulders.”

Knots: “Autumn! What is going on!”

Sharper: “Lexy Chapel may be losing her mind. I don’t know if Autumn came in with a bit of overconfidence or if Lexy not out there has thrown her off.”

Knots: “Or Adonis is fighting the match of his life! All for KABLAMia! Go to KABLAMia! Come in KA-“

Sharper: “Okay okay…”

Adonis gets up and looks around before then looking at Autumn and falling into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a big splash. The crowd ohs. Autumn sits up from the impact and drops back down. Adonis goes for the pin.

2!

Autumn gets her shoulder up. She rolls over and slowly stirs. Adonis gets up and grabs her. He then hooks her head. Adonis hoists her up and holds her up. The crowd roars a bit and Adonis then awkwardly falls back for the Oops. Adonis turns and goes for another pin.

1!

2!

Autumn shoots her shoulder up again. Adonis rolls off and looks out.

Sharper: “And just getting that shoulder up! Autumn Valentine is in a lot of trouble here!”

Knots: “Just a bit!”

Adonis then walks over and grabs Autumn and drags her p. He then whips her into the corner. Adonis turns and runs at Autumn, but Autumn moves out of the way. Adonis hits hard, chest first. He staggers back and holds his chest before turning around to Autumn who then grabs him and hits a jawbreaker. Adonis staggers and Autumn jumps to the middle rope, dives back, grabbing Adonis’s head and hitting a springboard tornado DDT. The crowd roars. Autumn rolls over and looks around before slowly getting up. Adonis rolls over and holds his head. He then falls back to a kneeling position and Autumn turns and hits a shoot kick to the chest. She rears back and hits a second shoot kick and then rears back and hits a third before rearing back and hitting a shoot kick to the head. Adonis falls back. Autumn hooks the leg.

1!

2!

Adonis just gets his shoulder up. The crowd roars as a faint “KABLAM!” chant begins. Autumn looks up and looks around.

Sharper: “And Adonis somehow kicks out after Autumn got all of that kick.”

Knots: “He’s hard-headed!”

Sharper: “That may be true.”

Knots starts laughing.

Sharper: “Oh…grow up!”

Adonis rolls over as Autumn then gets up. She turns and stomps Adonis in the face once and then again. Adonis rolls over. Autumn then turns and moves to the apron. She looks at Adonis as he gets up. She then flips over and goes for the AVW Lariat, but Adonis ducks and lifts her up. Autumn however fights forward and goes for a sunset flip, but Adonis falls back and right on top of Autumn. Autumn kicks, trying to get any power to kick out, but Adonis’s size is too much.

1!

3!

Adonis rolls off as the crowd roars. Autumn turns, eyes wide, breathing heavy.

Sharper: “My God! Adonis! Adonis beat Autumn Valentine!”

Knots: “And Lexy wasn’t here…you don’t think-“

Sharper: “Don’t start. Adonis used his weight and size. A crafty move. This was all on Adonis!”

Adonis rolls over and looks around as his music plays.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Derek Adonis!”

Adonis nods and dances a bit as Autumn looks out shocked. She turns to the official, trying to say her shoulder was up. Adonis gets up and dances a bit as the crowd cheers.

Backstage, we see The One Kirsten Scott talking to CHBK.

CHBK: “Are you sure? You are entitled to it.”

Scott: “Yeah and that seems to be a position so many others here think too. They’re entitled to something and so they should take it as soon as possible.”

Scott looks down.

Scott: “Body, Heart, and Soul. That felt good. With me getting it done for our team. But…I…”

Scott pauses again, looking down, clearly contemplating her thoughts.

Scott: “If I couldn’t take out Deanna when I set the stage, I’m not going to just rush in to face Selena. Let her and Kandis settle their beef. That gives me just over a month to make sure I’m ready to become World Champion.”

CHBK: “Alright. Consider that done.”

Scott nods and heads off. CHBK turns as Lexy Chapel storms up to him.

Chapel: “Having to deal with disgruntled wrestlers? Hmmm? Did you think about superkicking her?”

CHBK: “First, it was a civil discussion. And two, no…”

Chapel: “Why not?! Superkicks solve all kinds of problems! You should superkick more people!”

CHBK sighs.

CHBK: “What are you here for?”

Chapel: “Well, good, dad. You’re willing to listen. Well, I have a LIST. Dark Fantasy should be Tag Team Champions. Autumn Valentine should be Adrenaline Champion. And at least should get Alistaire Allocco so she can PROVE herself as the TRUE, undisputed, ALLOCCO ASSASSIN…then there’s the-“

CHBK: “Well, I can make that easy. And superkick won’t fix it. Autumn can’t face Alistaire.”

Chapel stops and blinks.

Chapel: “Why not?!”

CHBK: “He’s no longer cleared. We’re doing more testing, but it’s looking like Alistaire Allocco is back on the shelf.”

Chapel: “God damn it! Bree ruining that too. Just like she ruins everything. I used to like Blake Mason…anyway. Fine…we’ll circle back. But I have more. Like Syren needing to win her eighth championship. Selena is at six? That’s not okay. Syren is the best. The bestest best. Better than you. Better than everyone. And that can’t be taken from her without a fight!”

CHBK: “You know how to do that. Syren needs tow in ten matches in a row. Simple as that. Then she can be back in World Title contention.”

Chapel: “Argh…I didn’t agree and Syren agreed…under coercion. Duress. Coeress! Can’t you just get rid of that clause.”

CHBK: “It’s in a contract. Although…”

Chapel: “Uh-huh…”

Chapel looks on hopeful.

Chapel: “Come on, you like Syren. She looks up to you-“

CHBK: “I could try to superkick the contract. Maybe-“

Chapel: “You’re just taunting me. I’m here with SERIOUS problems. Syren is your biggest star and my biggest star and she is the historically greatest! And come on!”

CHBK: “She needs to win ten in a row.”

Chapel: “This needs to happen fast though. Someone needs to stop Selena! And make sure she can’t tie Syren!”

CHBK: “Well, there is an option.”

Chapel: “Just do it. Done! Do it and superkick something!”

CHBK: “So you want me to do it without knowing what it is.”

Chapel: “You’re not going to hurt Syren. Again, she looks up to you.”

CHBK: “I’m not going to let you just hurt her because you’re being irrational.”

Chapel: “Irrational? Selena Frost tying Syren for most World Title reigns would be a travesty alongside Putin becoming US President! And the RUSSIANS ARE TRYING, DAD. Fine…I’ll make the idea. Double-book her.”

CHBK: “What?”

Chapel: “She’s good enough. Double-book her. We’ll get through ten matches in record time. Do it! Do it okay! And get me those rematches!”

Chapel turns and walks off before stopping and turning back.

Chapel: “And remember to superkick people!”

CHBK shakes his head as Chapel heads off and Breakdown cuts to commercial.

Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words up on the Tron:

"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.

"Never gonna stop
Won't quit till I'm not breathing
Chase me all you want
It won't be enough"

Amy starts down the ramp, greeting and touching hands with a few fans along the way.

Sharper: “There’s a very happy person and with James Evans out of SCW, along with the House of James, she has to be proud of her role in that.”

Knots: “Her, Kirsten Scott, Cassie Wolfe and Chance Owens getting it done by defeating the House of James, while Kimberly Williams won back her title, so the crazy is back to being crazy!”

"Never gonna stop
Even if these wounds keep bleeding
I'm not giving up
It won't be enough"

The music continues as she gets into the ring. Amy hops up on the apron, and enters the ring between the bottom and middle ropes. She goes to the corner near the ring steps, and hops up on the middle ropes, one hand in the air overhead, and the other on her hip, posing for the cheering fans. She hops down and runs to the opposite corner, doing the same pose. Amy then hops down and goes to the corner where she’s handed a microphone. She turns back to the middle of the ring as the music fades out and the lights return to normal.

Chastaine: “Charlotte! How are we doing tonight?”

The crowd cheers.

Chastaine: “I have to say that tonight….I’m relieved, Charlotte. I’m relieved because I walk into this ring, into SCW, into Breakdown, and I’m not worried about an evil that I thought was long gone still being backstage. I’m not worried about the fools that followed this man and felt that he actually stood for something except unchained violence.”

Chastaine shakes her head.

Chastaine: “I’m not worried about finding out what would happen if the very worst of James Evans returned to SCW!”

The crowd cheers.

Chastaine: “That’s because, and it came from the horse’s mouth itself, and I’ve confirmed it with CHBK…The House of James…is gone!”

The crowd cheers.

Chastaine: “James Evans is gone!”

The crowd cheers.

Chastaine: “And I don’t care how this makes me feel, but I am DAMN happy about it. And I feel like I need to personally thank those who got it done. Those who made sure that not only would James’s hypocrisy no longer have to be heard, but that we did not have to deal with that man who did unspeakable things, claim he recovered, and only used this to hide that he hasn’t….The people who stood up to stand up to him and his House…and to start, I can’t believe I’m doing this…”

Chastaine pauses and smirks.

Chastaine: “But to the new Underground Champion, Kimberly Williams…please come down to this ring!”

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

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

The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on and Kimberly Williams is standing at the top of the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. The SCW Underground Championship sits around her waist. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it. 

Sharper: “And yes, for the fifth time, Kimberly Williams is the SCW Underground Champion!”

Knots: “And she couldn’t be happier. It’s her life. Her precious. She may be turning into Gollum.”

Sharper: “We should note that Marie Jones also appeared at Body, Heart, and Soul in a shock and even helped her sister overcome the hyperviolence of James Evans!”

Knots: “And Kim blow up James Evans. She put an explosive on her knee and used it to take him out. She’s nuts too!”

Kim slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. She smiles at Amy from her stomach and waves before getting up and walks over to Amy. She extends her arm. Amy goes to shake it, but Kim then high-fives it, back-fives it and does a series of fist pumps before throwing her arm in the air. Amy looks at her shaking her head as Kim walks over to the corner. Jason Phillips hands her a microphone. Kim turns back to Amy.

Chastaine: “Now before I say anything, I was going to ask if this was you Kim, or Marie, but I think that cleared things up.”

Kim: “Or maybe I’m a really good actor!”

Chastaine looks at Kim as Kim smiles before laughing.

Kim: “Just screwing with you. I’m Kim. Do you think I’d let Marie come out with this title for the first time? After having to nearly blow myself up to get it back? I love my twin sister, but come on!”

Chastaine: “Okay, okay…but I also want to thank Marie for her role and-“

Kim: “Oh don’t worry. I specialize in breaking up cults and that one…you cut off the body and I blew up the head!”

Kim laughs as the crowd cheers.

Chastaine: “That’s one way to put it.”

Kim: “But shouldn’t Onesy be out here. She, I mean, did get the pin. Took out my little lawn dart like friend, put him through a chair. Brought a tear to my eye…if I could cry, you know. Had my ducts removed.”

Chastaine looks at Kim.

Kim: “I’m kidding!”

Kim winks as Chastaine nods.

Chastaine: “Well, yes, but-“

Scott: “But what?”

Kirsten Scott walks out from the back, microphone in her hand. She takes a few steps and walks forward.

Scott: “But…you’re unhappy I finished everything off? That I didn’t celebrate with you all?”

Chastaine: “Kirsten…”

Scott: “No. I happened to be watching and I was waiting when it could to me. Because while Kim did win the Underground Championship…I’m the one that put the scrawny Juggalo from wish.com through that chair and capped off a war that made sure none of the House of James was going to get involved in your issue, Kim.”

Scott looks at the ring.

Scott: “And Amy, before you go on a self-righteous rant, talking about how I walked off, how I didn’t celebrate, how I seemed to beat to my own drum…I’ll simply point out that if you didn’t think I’d do that, you haven’t been paying attention. I’m not Chance Owens who signed up for this war because he wants to get into the pants of the woman who sees you as a maternal figure. I’m not Cassie Wolfe who is looking to take any opportunity to get people’s attention. I’m the only one who was in this war for the last few weeks. You showed up later and took over the leadership. You were NEVER my leader at Body, Heart, and Soul!”

Chastaine: “I never did-“

Scott: “Yeah, you did. You stepped up on the last Breakdown and tried to take us on your back, calling us into war like a tired NFL coach. And the issue is that I’m the one that was dragged into this fight for weeks. I didn’t demand help. I was ready to go to war and I was ready to do it MYSELF.”

Scott looks at the ring.

Scott: “So Amy…allow me instead to thank YOU. Thank YOU for taking time out of your busy schedule to care about James Evans when you knew what a danger he could be. And thank YOU for drawing our attention to it.”

Scott looks down.

Scott: “And Kim, none of this has to do with you. You kicked James’s ass. I wish he was still around so I could get a piece, but thanks for sending him out in a blaze of glory.”

Kim: “More like a blast, but-“

Scott: “Kim…”

Kim: “Sorry.”

Kim shrugs. Amy looks at Scott.

Scott: “And Amy…thanks for being there. But remember who is the one who actually got it done. Because when they roll the footage, I’m the one who sent them packing by beating the House. Kim took out James. You…at least you were there…leader…But damn it, I needed that…and I proved that as I’ve said, there are only a few things guaranteed in life…death, taxes, and The One…and The One won!”

Scott turns and shakes her head. She heads to the back as the crowd boos. Amy turns to Kim as Kim shrugs. Amy looks around.

Sharper: “The One Kirsten Scott going off on Amy Chastaine.”

Knots: “Well I mean…”

Sharper: “Mean what?”

Knots: “She may have a point. The One wanted to go alone.”

Sharper: “And you’re telling me she could’ve won without Chastaine, Owens or Wolfe?”

Knots: “Wolfe yeah, but…”

Sharper: “Oh good lord…And we should note Scott saying this after passing up on the immediate World Title shot too…”

The scene cuts away.

Backstage, the scene opens up in the LexyCorp locker room.

Ravyn: “It’s your call, Zoe.”

Syren: “Look, I know you want revenge against Brittany-“

Ravyn: “It’s not revenge. It’s a reminder that you do not start a war with someone willing to do anything.”

Syren sighs. The door then swings open as Lexy Chapel steps in and smiles, beaming ear to ear.

Syren: “Oh good, Lexy’s here. She can-“

Chapel: “I have solved EVERYTHING!”

Ravyn: “Everything. Well then. Guess we won’t need to maim Brittany-“

Chapel: “Oh no, we need to do that. She’s th reason you’re not World Tag Team Champions.”

Syren: “Lexy-“

Chapel: “Oh I’ve not even started. Syren, we’re getting you back to the World Title. I know, I know. Tag Titles, and yeah, you loved the Adrenaline, but…where’s Autumn? I need to tell her Alistaire is gone. Effing coward. Apparently he’s hurt or something. Like hell he is! Just ANOTHER conspiracy to hurt my UNBEATABLE marketing campaigns-“

Syren: “Lexy!”

Chapel: “Sorry. I got carried about. But I’ve got you on the fast track to getting your ten wins so you can always make sure you’re a step ahead of that manipulative witch who is the World Champion.”

Syren: “Wait…what?”

Chapel: “I know you like a challenge and it keeps you going. So you’re going to be double booked from here on out!”

Syren: “Lexy-“

Chapel: “It’s to get you through those ten wins quickly and then World Title. And BAM! LexyCorp back on top of the world. And you’ll be tag champs probably and stuff like that. CHBK loves you for some reason and well, so!”

Chapel beams.

Syren: “Well…that’s, uh, great Lexy.”

Chapel: “I know! We should get ready for this. Manager of champions! Dusting that off.”

Ravyn: “So no one should mention that Autumn didn’t beat Adonis.”

Chapel: “Wait…what!”

Chapel looks around.

Chapel: “AUTUMN!”

Chapel walks deeper into the locker room as the scene cuts to commercial.

Breakdown returns as we see Xander Valentine talking to CHBK in his office.

Xander: “Anyone who doesn’t want to step up…they shouldn’t be in line, Alex.”

CHBK: “It’s her prerogative. Wants to let Kandis and Selena go first, so be it.”

Xander: “Then I’ll step up. I’m not crazy about that stunt that started earlier this year. And after destroying Holly…I’m not in the mood to wait too long. I thought I’d be enjoying retirement…Syren let me down. But I’m reminded all too much about how time is ticking.”

Xander steps up and leans over CHBK, his former rival.

Xander: “So…you tell me what I need to do to earn a shot at whoever is World Champion. Next week, I’ll come ready to fight. Throw anyone else you think could be next in line. I’ll remove all doubt.”

Xander turns and walks out of office. CHBK watches him leave as the scene cuts away.

Kelsai Adamson vs. Sean Michael Prime

The familiar riffs of Nickelback's "Savin Me" begins and soon Kelsai Adamson appears at the top of stage. She look around at the cheering crowd with a smile before starting down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, currently residing in Denver, Colorado... Kelsai Adamson!”

Kelsai continues towards the ring, greeting a few fans along the way. She goes up the ring steps, and wipes her feet before stepping through the ropes. Kelsai then goes to the far corner and hops up to the second rope, posing for the fans. After a few seconds she hops down and her music fades out.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson hoped her match against Gavin Taylor at Body, Heart, and Soul would be her coming out to a great start to 2024, but it was another false start.”

Knots: “And then she was approached by her opponent tonight – Sean Michael Prime. And Prime apparently is big on new beginnings and second chances. Kelsai wasn’t too thrilled!”

As the arena lights dim, a hushed anticipation falls over the crowd. The haunting notes of Metallica's "Turn the Page" resonate through the speakers, setting the stage for the arrival of Sean Michael Prime. Slowly emerging from the shadows. Sean stands at the top of the ramp with a determined gaze. He walks with purpose down the entrance ramp, his worn silhouette illuminated by a lone spotlight.

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, from Salem, Massachusetts, Sean Michael Prime!"

With every step, SMP absorbs the energy of the arena, his long hair flowing in rhythm with the haunting melody. As the chorus kicks in, the crowd begins to stir, caught between the raw emotion of the song and the enigmatic presence of Sean as he slowly approaches the ring. Sean climbs into the ring, casting a stoic gaze across the audience. The metallic strains of "Turn the Page" amplify the intensity of the moment. Sean starts pacing around the ring awaiting for the start of the match

Sharper: “Prime making his debut here in SCW.”

Knots: “You know he did hard time?”

Sharper: “He did. The man had spent some time in jail.”

Knots: “Hide your wallet, Sharper!”

Kelsai starts with quick chops and kicks.  But Prime strikes back with a huge forearm, several jabs, and then chops that backs Kelsai up into the ropes.  He whips Kelsai into the ropes and delivers a high knee strike.  He whips Kelsai into the ropes and delivers a lou thesz press into mounted punches.  He pulls Kelsai up and hooks her for a suplex but Kelsai floats over, lands on her feet, and strikes with a step up enziguri followed by a dropkick.  Sean is sent tumbling through the ropes but he lands on the ring apron.  Kelsai with a springboard dropkick sends Prime to the outside.

Sharper: “Kelsai off the ropes! Hard dropkick and Prime falling to the floor.”

Knots: “Not yet hitting rock bottom!”

Kelsai goes to the top rope.  She flies off the top with cross body block off the top onto Prime, taking him out!  Kelsai goes to follow up but Sean with a drop toe hold, sending Kelsai face first onto the steel steps.  Sean with a snap suplex to Kelsai on the outside.  Then he pulls her up and rolls her back into the ring.  He slides back in and follows up with another snap suplex.  He follows that up with an arm bar.

Sharper: “And Prime trying to work over Kelsai. Going for the arm.”

Knots: “Hey. He should know how to control the arm. Probably had to control a limb or head in a prison fight-“

Sharper: “Stop it, Jon!”

After about fifteen seconds Kelsai reaches the bottom ropes, forcing a break.  Prime pulls Kelsai up and delivers a sit out scoop slam.  Prime with a gordbuster.  Sean applies a heel hook.  After about fifteen seconds Kelsai reaches the ropes, forcing a break. Prime delivers an implant ddt.  He covers…

2…Kickout!

Sharper: “And only two! Prime looking to get his first win.”

Knots: “And imagine the spiral that would put Kelsai on if that happened!”

Sean pulls her up and stands her up in place.  He hits the ropes and goes for Prime Example, his clothesline from hell, but Kelsai counters with a float over into a snap ddt.  Kelsai quickly applies a calf crusher.  But Prime reaches the ropes after about ten seconds, forcing a break.  Prime pulls himself up using the ropes but is drilled with a roundhouse kick followed by an axe kick.  Prime scrambles back to his feet.  Kelsai hits the ropes and drops him again, this time with a flying forearm smash.

Sharper: “Leaving her feet! Forearm to the jaw of Sean Michael Prime.”

Knots: “Kelsai may be looking to just overwhelm Prmie!”

Kelsai climbs up to the top turnbuckle and waits.  Prime gets back to his feet and turns around into a missile dropkick from Kelsai.  She covers…

1!

2…Kickout!

Kelsai drops Prime with a tornado ddt.  She goes for an asai moonsault but Sean gets his knees up, driving them into her gut.  Sean pulls himself up.  He hits the ropes and turns Kelsai inside out with Prime Example!

Sharper: “Prime Example. Oh my!”

Knots: “Just drilled Kelsai!”

Sean pulls Kelsai up and places her on his shoulders.  He goes for Fatal Dose but Kelsai slips free of the grip.  Kelsai with a roundhouse kick followed by a sitout face buster.  She hits the ropes and delivers the asai moonsault.  The cover by Kelsai…

Sharper: “And Kelsai showing her heart. Kicking out at two and a half!”

Sharper: “Slingblade. Kelsai driven into the mat.”

Knots: “And he’s not stopping!”

Sean with an implant ddt.  The cover…

…3NO! Kelsai kicks out!

Prime whips Kelsai into the ropes.  She ducks a clothesline and then rebounds with a flying cross body.  Kelsai kips up.  Kelsai with a standing dropkick.  Kelsai with a asai moonsault.  Instead of going for the cover she goes up to the top rope.  Kelsai leaps off the top, going for Bombs Away, but Prime gets his knees up!  Prime takes her and hooks her for a German suplex.  He bridges for the cover…

Sharper: “And Kelsai sent to the floor!”

Knots: “Prime maybe going to get a win however he can get…what are you doing? Don’t go to the floor!”

Sean goes out after Kelsai.  He scoops her up but Kelsai slips out from behind and strikes a reverse ddt on the floor!  The referee begins the count…

Kelsai uses the ring apron to try and pull herself up.  Sean is still rattled from being dropped on his head.

Prime gets to his knees..

9!

Prime tries to make it…but is just too late…

10!

The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Kelsai looks up and smirks before looking around. Prime turns and leans on the barricade, showing a bit of frustration.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via countout, Kelsai Adamson!”

Sharper: “And Prime just a second late and gets counted out.”

Knots: “Hope you still believe in second chances, Prime!”

Sharper: “While Adamson gets the win and it may be some solace there, even though it may not be the pinfall or submission. It’s a win-“

Knots: “Yeah! A win is a win is a win, Sharper! Prime is going to find out about that.”

Kelsai Adamson has her arm raised as she looks at Prime and smirks a bit. Prime looks at her and shakes his head as the scene cuts away.

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as the Breakdown logo comes across the screen and we see a still of Polly vs. Deanna Frost for the SCW United States Championship.

Sharper: “When we return, our first of two title match tonight. The US Champion returns to the ring. Deanna Frost will be challenged by Polly, US Title on the line!”

The scene fades to commercial.

Polly vs. Deanna Frost

SCW United States Championship

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot but then there is complete silence, nothing on the SCW big screen appearing.  It is 10 seconds before the beginning of "Prisoner" by Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa begins to play. The music plays for quite some time and it is not until quite a bit into the song when Polly emerges from the back. The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as Polly looks around the arena and nods. She takes a deep breath as they head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW United States Championship! First, the challenger, on her way to the ring, from Panguitch, Utah, she is Polly Pingotti!”

Polly reaches the ring. Polly heads up the steel steps and looks around and steps into the ring. Polly walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Polly Pingotti hoping tonight is the night she adds the US Title to her collection.”

Knots: “Beat Sarah Wolf. Been on a bit of a tear. Why not try? And with Deanna coming back after a month away?”

The chords of "People Like Us" by Kelly Clarkson fill the arena, causing a roar from the audience as bright, fall leaves seem to blow and fly on the LED screens on and around the ramp. From the back curtain, out runs "The Queen's Guard" Deanna Frost, taking in the audience before running to the right side, then the left side, shouting to them in excitement. The SCW United States Championship is over her shoulder. The 'leaves' follow her as she does. Returning to the middle, Deanna gives a spin on one foot, her arms outstretched, the 'leaves' circling her below her feet. 

Phillips: “And from Manhattan, New York, she is the SCW United States Champion, 'The Queen's Guard', Deanna Frost!”

Hearing her name, Deanna stops her spin, side facing the ring, and, with one hand over her heart, her free hand arcs around to point forward, the 'leaves' flying down the ramp and 'circling the ring LED barriers. Making her way down to the ring, Deanna high-fives fans along the way until she reaches the ring. Sliding under the ring, the Queen's Guard jumps to her feet, making her way to the middle ropes and leaning over them, one arm raised to the crowd. She does the same to the other sides of the ring! On the last time, Deanna hops back into the ring as the lights return to normal. She turns and hands off the title as the official, Steve Hollinsworth, holds it over his head. The SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen.

Sharper: “Deanna Frost cleared for competition. Her leg healing up enough from a bone bruise.”

Knots: “Yeah, but Polly knows that’s a target. And Polly has been aggressive. Deanna has been worried about everything else, including Selena being back!”

Polly is aggressive in her start, lunging forward with a lariat attempt, but Frost is able to duck and land a spinning back elbow that drops Polly.  Polly scrambles back to her feet but Deanna with a snapmare takeover followed by a running knee to the face while Polly is in a seated position.  Deanna drops an elbow and then applies a headlock.  Polly fights her way back to her knees and then back to her feet.  Deanna switches to a side headlock.  Polly with three elbows to the gut that eventually force a break.  Polly hits the ropes and connects with a head scissors takeover.  Polly with a dropkick that sends Deanna tumbling to the outside.  Polly hits the ropes and delivers a baseball slide into a headscissors takeover on the outside, sending Deanna Frost for a loop.

Deanna drives Polly back down to the mat with a bulldog takedown.  Deanna hits the ropes and goes for a lionsault but Polly gets her knees up and drives them into Deanna’s gut.  Polly pulls herself up in time and connects with a chick kick, sending Frost into the corner.  Polly charges in with a big splash in the corner before dropping Deanna with a short arm clothesline.  Polly mounts Deanna and rains down right hands.

Sharper: “Polly hammering away! We’ve seen this more and more in the second half of 2023 and into 2024. Polly just increasingly aggressive.”

Knots: “That might work. Deanna Frost may not have her training up to snuff. Overwhelm her and take advantage!”

Polly eventually gets up off of the champion after a warning from the referee.  Polly whips Deanna into the opposite corner.  Polly rushes in after and then monkey flips Deanna out of the corner and into the center of the ring.  Polly waits as Frost gets back to her feet before dropping her with a side effect.  Polly covers, hooking the leg…

The camera angle changes to show Polly’s arm under the bottom rope. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and STILL SCW United States Champion, Deanna Frost!”

Sharper: “Deanna Frost retains-“

Knots: “Polly’s arm!”

Sharper: “Polly’s arm under the rope. The official didn’t see it!”

Knots: “Deanna doesn’t know. She’s got her title!”

Polly turns and looks at the official as Deanna holds up the US Championship.

Sharper: “Controversy here…Now let’s go backstage where Jessica Winters is standing by with the SCW World Tag Team Champions.”

The scene cuts backstage where La Pequena Luz, holding her TV and Tag Team Championships, and Amelia Blythe, holding her Tag Team Championship, stand next to Jessica Winters, outside of their locker room.

Winters: “Thank you Adam. Yes, I’m with the World Tag Team Champions, Light in the Darkness, and tonight, you will defend your titles against Twisted & Sadistic. Glory Braddock hopes to take those titles to finally become a Supreme Champion, while as I mentioned earlier, everyone is also talking about Lohan attacking Ravyn Taylor. Then Lohan posed a question to Syren, about what she would do. First, Luz, Amelia, your reaction and response?”

Amelia: “First, what should be the focus, is that we’re facing another top tier team and Glory Braddock, we know she will do anything to win. We know Brittany, as obviously it has been shown, will do anything to support her and help her do history. We will put our best foot forward to, unfortunately for them, make sure that doesn’t happen. That should be the story.”

Luz: “But seems that now Dark Fantasy’s involvement is part of it. Will Ravyn get revenge? Will Syren join her. We understand that Ravyn Taylor has done terrible things. We know Dark Fantasy used to be a menace. But we also hope that Syren is indeed what she has said to be.”

Amelia: “Lexy Chapel is also part of this situation too.”

Luz: “And she’s hard to pin down at the best of times. She’s as irate and irrational as ever.”

Luz sighs. She then looks at the camera.

Luz: “I’m going to simply say this. Ravyn…Syren…stay backstage. Get your revenge another night.”

Blythe: “We have fought too hard to have us second-guessed by situations that are out of our control and have nothing to do with us. And we are not going to allow it to happen again. If Ravyn comes out, we will stand with Twisted & Sadistic to make her regret that decision before we return to the honour of the fight.”

Luz: “And if Syren comes out…we will do the same. We just will be disappointed. So again…get revenge another night. Tonight should be about Braddock’s quest for history…and our attempt to delay it.”

Luz and Blythe turn to Winters and head off.

Winters: “World Tag Team Championship on the line in our main event tonight on Breakdown. More to come from Charlotte!”

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Deanna Frost walking through the backstage area, recovering from her match. She has the US Championship still over her shoulder as she walks down the hallway. Just then, she’s approached by Religious Wright.

Wright: “Deanna! Deanna!”

Deanna stops and sighs, rolling her eyes a bit.

Wright: “Please! Deanna! Help me! Help me reach your wife! Help me assure her I just want to spread her word to the public!”

Deanna: “Get away from me!”

Deanna pulls away. Wright falls to his knees.

Wright: “Please Deanna! It’s for the sake of humanity. I BELIEVE!”

Deanna ignores Wright, continuing down the hallway as Wright moves forward on his knees, hands clasped.

Wright: “I BELIEVE! What about you! In integrity?!”

Deanna stops for a moment and looks back before then turning around and continuing to walk off.

Out go the lights with a flick of a switch as all eyes focus onto the stage, just then the screen lights up as the opening to “Alpha King” by Rev Theory begins to play over the P.A system. Then and only then we see a series of words in italic writing phase in and out on the big screen...

.Infamous.

.British.

.Legendary.

Spotlights all start to focus on the stage entrance now changing colours, shades of red, white and blue and during that time a silhouette of a man can be seen walking out onto the stage with a familiar aura of confidence. Just then the final words explode onto the tron causing the crowd to react accordingly as the music hit's into full swing...

.LUCAS KNIGHT.

The crowd's cheers fill the arena as the lights come back on fully to show Lucas Knight standing on the stage looking at the crowd, he wears a black leather jacket with the union jack emblazoned on it. He looks out to the crowd with a smirk and nods.

Sharper: “And talk about a surprise! Lucas Knight back in SCW. We last saw him attacked by the House of James!”

Knots: “And well the Housei s gone and the Alpha King is back!”

Sharper: “Are you insinuating something?”

Knots: “Just making an observation!”

Just then video of Lucas' career plays out on the tron as the music ramps up even more. Then Lucas begins to walk down towards the ring slapping hands of some fans in the front row aisle's. Once he reach's the bottom, Lucas heads to the corner and walks up the steel steps and into the ring. He goes over to the corner and scales it. He looks out at the crowd and smirks, taking a few moments before dropping down. He heads over to the corner where a microphone waits for him. He takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers him as he looks around. His music fades out and he nods.

Sharper: “Charlotte giving Lucas Knight a hell of a welcome.”

Lucas: “Thank you for that. Truly. Thank you.”

Lucas Knight looks around. The crowd cheers a bit more.

Lucas: “You know…when you last saw me, I said I was going to tear it up and well, I haven’t been doing my best.”

The crowd boos a bit.

Lucas: “I know, I know. But taking some time away has allowed me to step back and reflect. To think about things and I’m hungrier than ever before. I’m thinking about all of the opportunity in front of me and how I need to not only take advantage of it, but I need to do so to feed that hunger!”

Lucas looks out at the crowd.

Lucas: “And that’s also why I’m here.”

Lucas looks out at the crowd.

Lucas: “Because well, I feel I need to make you involved in this. Because you are who we all do this for. Yeah, the money is good. So is the glory. But the response of the fans. The rush of that pop…that’s what really makes it worth it. And while I stand here, talking about how I haven’t been doing my best, I’ve also stood out here as late as last year and talked about how I’ve bitched about people getting shots they don’t deserve or how some people haven’t earned much, and well, I was in a Chamber match and I didn’t get it done. Not even close.”

Lucas sighs.

Lucas: “And that’s why I’m here. Because I need your permission.”

Lucas looks at the crowd.

Lucas: “Because I want to get back in this ring. I want to focus on my goals. I want a redo of the Elimination Chamber, or at least the potential end result, and that’s the US Title. But before I do that, I need you to give me your blessing that you’re willing to see me try and get back on this horse and this time, reach the homestead and get the fires burning, raising the title over my head.”

The crowd roars.

Lucas: “So what do you say, Charlotte?”

Lucas looks at the crowd, extending the microphone. The crowd cheers some more.

Sharper: “Sounds like they are giving it to you, Lucas!”

Lucas looks around and places his hand against his ear. They cheers some more before “This is How A Heart Breaks” by Rob Thomas plays throughout the arena. Lucas stops and turns as the crowd cheers a bit more. A few moments pass before CHBK walks out from the back. CHBK looks at Lucas Knight. CHBK has a microphone in his hand and he stops briefly before then starting to head to the ring.

Sharper: “CHBK going out here and well, he’s the man in charge.”

Knots: “Well Lucas and CHBK have a long, LONG history though.”

CHBK walks over to the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then steps into the ring. He nods at Lucas before extending his arm toward Jason Phillips. Phillips hands CHBK a microphone. CHBK turns and walks over to Lucas and extends his hand. The two shake hands, speaking briefly, before CHBK backs up.

Lucas: “You didn’t have to come out here, Alex. I could’ve come backstage to make it all official.”

CHBK: “Well, Lucas, I’m not out here to make something like that official. I’m out here in a different capacity.”

CHBK pauses as Lucas looks at him.

CHBK: “Lucas…we have been up and down these roads a lot of times. We’ve had some wars in this ring. We probably have both shortened each other’s careers.”

Lucas nods.

CHBK: “And regardless of how heated it got between us, and yes, it got very heated.”

Lucas nods again.

CHBK: “I’ve always appreciated your talent and skill. I’ve always respected it.”

The crowd applauds a bit.

CHBK: “And I appreciate all you have done in this ring, and all you’ve tried to do, but Lucas…unfortunately, you’re no longer on the active roster. No longer can SCW consider you a competitor.”

Lucas looks at CHBK confused. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “What?”

Knots: “He kicked him out of Infamous years ago. Now he’s kicking him out of SCW!”

CHBK: “We can find you another role in the company. Your skills can help SCW in a lot of ways-“

Lucas: “Why?”

Lucas brings the microphone down and now speaks directly to CHBK. Again, he asks why. CHBK sighs and turns to him.

CHBK: “Lucas…you know why.”

Lucas looks at CHBK for a moment before looking down, seemingly revealing there is something.

CHBK: “I’m not going to say what it is here. This is not the forum and I will do that out of respect to you-“

Lucas then steps forward, again, out of earshot from the microphone, but SCW cameras pick it up.

Lucas: “No I don’t know why. What are you talking about?”

CHBK turns away briefly before leaning forward and covering his mouth before whispering it in Lucas’s ear. Lucas slowly pulls away as CHBK steps back.

Lucas: “Where did you hear that? Who told you that?”

CHBK: “I’m not going to tell you. Not going to divulge my source. But it’s all okay, Lucas. It’s okay. And we’ll help you out.”

CHBK pats Lucas on the shoulder before walking past him. He then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Lucas just looks down and turns.

Sharper: “Why can’t Lucas return?”

Knots: “Lucas isn’t resisting. Whatever CHBK told him, has to be legit!”

Sharper: “No more Lucas Knight in SCW?”

The crowd boos and buzzes as CHBK walks to the back. Lucas slowly looks around the arena, clearly trying to hold back any emotion as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown returns as we see SCW’s newest interview backstage, smiling, holding a microphone.

Page: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m Destiny Page. Please welcome at this time…the All-Star Gavin Taylor!”

The crowd cheers as Gavin Taylor walks into view. He looks out and turns to Destiny Page.

Page: “Gavin, thank you for joining me. You were victorious at Body, Heart, and Soul. You took issue with Kelsai Adamson seeing you as a stepping stone. You posted out on X that you know who you are. Who are you, Gavin Taylor?”

Taylor: “You’re new?”

Page: “Yes.”

Taylor: “You’re good. And who am I? I’m the All-Star. I’m Gavin Taylor. I’m someone people aspire to be. And I had forgotten that. No more!”

Gavin turns to the camera.

Taylor: “I’m no one’s stepping stone. Sorry Kelsai. But you lit something in me. And I’m back! That’s right! Gavin Taylor! The All-Star, the MVP, the Jedi of the Universe, the Greatest Star in Australian History…I am BACK.”

Taylor looks at the camera.

Page: “In that case, where is your attention then, Gavin?”

Gavin turns to Destiny Page who smiles at him and then turns to the camera.

Taylor: “I need to get back to where I should be. No more excuses.”

Gavin Taylor nods.

Taylor: “Yeah…I know who I’m gunning for.”

Taylor nods and walks off. Destiny Page looks off screen and then back.

Page: “Uh…back to ringside!”

The scene cuts away.

Kevin Hunter vs. Ace Sky vs. Diamond Steele

Sharper: “Up next, ladies and gentlemen, we have a triple threat match between three individuals who need to get back to their winning ways. Kevin Hunter, Diamond Steele and Ace Sky are all on relative losing streaks as of late, but a win here tonight could turn the ship around for them.

Knots: “A loss though, could send them spiraling into a cold, dark depression that they might never come out of.”

“Now That We're Dead” by Metallica hits and out from the back steps Kevin Hunter. He stands atop the entrance ramp and stares out at the crowd, who give him a lukewarm reception. His eyes are locked in and focused.

Phillips: “The following contest is a Triple Theat match! Introducing first, from Davenport, Iowa, he is The Devil Incarnate… Kevin Hunter!”

Hunter walks up the ring steps and goes across the apron and climbs through the ropes waiting for his opponents.

Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele along with her husband Teddy Steele emerging from the curtain.

Phillips: “And his opponent, Diamond Steele!”

She has a microphone in her hands sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin. Teddy begins to clap excitedly for his wife as he tries to get the crowd involved.

A rocket drops from the bottom of the big screen to the stage and there is a countdown voice over from 5 which fans count down. “Eye In The Sky” by The Alan Parsons Project play as a pod door opens and Ace Sky walks out in an aviator jacket and his usual in ring attire.

Phillips: “And their opponent, from Houston, Texas, he is Ace Sky!”

He salutes a peace sign and jogs down the aisle way high-fiving as many fans as possible while alternating with gesturing to his forehead. Then he dashes with his trademark slide through the bottom ring apron. He does the Third Eye forehead point taunt again and gets into Bruce Lee style-southpaw martial arts stance.

The bell rings and the match begins with all three staring each other down. The three slowly creep towards the center of the ring from the own individual corners. Hunter tries to lock up with Diamond Steele, but is met with a kick to the midsection by Ace Sky. Sky kicks Hunter again who staggers back from the kick. Sky is then met with a hard punch from Diamond Steele. Steele tries to attack Sky with a punch, but as she moves in, is met with a forearm to her back by Kevin Hunter. Steele stumbles forward towards Sky, who grabs her by the head and hits her with an uppercut that rocks Steele back into Hunter who hooks her head into his arm and takes her down with a DDT! Hunter quickly goes for a cover and the referee counts

1!

Sky stomps Hunter in the ribs forcing him to break the pin.

Knots: Did Kevin Hunter really think that would work? I mean, Ace Sky was looking right at him.”

Sharper: I don’t know but you can tell that these three individuals want to win this thing.”

Hunter and Sky quickly go face to face after Sky broke up Hunter’s pinfall attempt. The two argue back the forth before Hunter rocks Sky with a hard right hand. Sky comes back however with a hard right of his own. Diamond Steele rolls out of the way as Hunter knees Sky in the midsection. Hunter grabs Sky by the back of the head and throws him to the opposite side of the ring into the ropes. Sky runs off and ducks under a Hunter clothesline attempt. Sky bounces off on the other side, comes running back at Hunter, leaps up and takes him down with a cross body. Sky quickly goes for the cover.

1!

Diamond Steele is in with a forearm to the side this time to quickly break up the count. Steele quickly picks up Sky and hits him with a kick to the midsection. Steele bounces off the ropes and runs back and takes down Sky with a running heel kick! Steele turns her attention to Hunter and backs him into the corner. As she backs up to run at Hunter, black smoke starts to fill the arena.

Sharper: “Oh my God, what is going on here?”

Knots: “I think you know! The Enigma is here!”

The lights go out in the arena. The crowd cheers as the lights come back on and the Enigma is standing directly behind Diamond Steele. She turns around and looks at the mysterious figure. She begins to back away, but Kevin Hunter who has recovered pushes her into Enigma. Enigma grabs Steele by the back of her head and drops her with the Into the Abyss! Enigma stares down at Steele while the crowd cheers. Suddenly, Kevin Hunter and Ace Sky who are now back to their feet, looking at Enigma.

Sharper: “What are we looking at here? Enigma just laid waste to Diamond Steele. But, now it’s a two on one!”

Suddenly, Hunter shoves Sky into Enigma who drops him with the Into the Abyss! As Enigma hits Sky with Into the Abyss, Hunter rolls out of the ring. As he is backing up the ramp, black smokes starts to fill the arena again. Enigma holds his arms out wide to his side and throws his head back, when a blood curdling scream is heard. After this scream, the lights go out. They come back on after a second and Enigma has Kevin Hunter locked in with his head under his arm at the top of the entranceway! The crowd cheers as Enigma drops a third Into the Abyss, this time on Kevin Hunter!

Sharper: “My God Jonathan! Enigma just laid waste to three individuals here tonight!”

Knots: “This guy is the real deal, Sharper, SCW needs to watch their backs, he can come from anywhere!”

Enigma stands over Kevin Hunter. As he does, a voice echoes through the arena.

“I am inevitable.”

We hear a maniacal laughter after these words and the lights go out once again. When the lights come back on, Enigma is gone, but what’s left is the carnage that he has caused.

Team Desire vs. European Fiery Nation

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Sweet by Psycho” by Ava Max plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold religious ring robe that is popelike and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd. Giovanna Steward follows behind her wearing her leather spiked “Brat Club” jacket and a black bandana covering the lower half of her face. TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length while Gigi follows behind.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit. Accompanied by TJ Johnson, this is the team of Katie Steward and Gigi Steward, Team Desire!”

Katie walks around the ring and Gigi rolls under the bottom rope. Katie walks up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie to her corner.

Sharper: “Team Desire stole the win at Body, Heart, and Soul-“

Knots: “Stole? Katie threw her arm over one of the European Fiery Nation. She took advantage of the chaos. A great veteran move!”

Sharper: “True, but Colleen and Aisling, not happy, and I doubt European Fiery Nation will be either.”

“Off To War” by Behemoth plays over the sound system with the lights being dark as ever as Ginny in the middle, Ludvig on the left and Dakon on the right-hand sides, looking at the crowd and got heavy boos. When the lights briefly come back on, you see Dakon, Ludvig and Ginny waving their Norway, Sweden, and German flags.

Phillips: “Their opponents, making their way to the ring, accompanied by Ginny Raab, coming from Sweden, Norway and Germany, they are Ludvig Eriksson and Dakon Theron known as The European Fiery Nation.”

They walk down to the ring with their flags and step on the stairs and do a hold-up in the middle of the ring as they gave their flags to Ginny. When the lights return, Ludvig and Dakon wait for the start of the match. Katie starts to talk to the official, warning them about their use of weapons.

Sharper: “Theron and Eriksson have used weapons in every match they’ve been in. Without Konrad Raab in their corner, who will be away for some time we believe, after being set on fire at Body, Heart, and Soul in that inferno match.”

Knots: “Melted the former Iceman’s heart…then again, he is Burned in Blood!”

Sharper: “And you wonder if his team will be making a particularly strong message to avoid any misunderstanding of weakness.”

The bell sounds. Theron and Eriksson run across at Katie and Gigi. Katie yells out as Theron runs over and clubs her in the back once and then again and again. Eriksson catches Gigi with a forearm shots and then another, but Gigi fights back with a couple of shots of her own. Theron hip throws Katie out of the corner and she rolls to the far ropes. Eriksson and Gigi trade blows before Theron runs over and kicks Gigi in the ribs. Eriksson turns to him as the official tries to get one of them out of the ring. The European Fiery Nation whip Gigi across the ring and into the opposite corner. Theron then goes tow hip Eriksson in, but he spins through and sends Theron in. Theron splashes Gigi in the corner before turning back and Eriksson runs at Gigi with a running clothesline of his own. Gigi falls out of the corner. Theron then exits the ring. Gigi rolls over as Eriksson grabs her and pulls her up and runs her across the ring, into the opposite neutral corner and drives her face first into the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Just a rush here for the European Fiery Nation. All over the Stewards.”

Knots: “And Theron is going for weapons! This is a beat down in match form!”

Theron pulls out a steel chair and then turns and climbs onto the apron. He starts to enter the ring as the official stops him. Theron tries to muscle his way into the ring, but the official keeps trying to stop him. Eriksson pulls Gigi up, but then, Katie Stewart nails him with the Most Beautiful Superkick Ever to the back of the head. Gigi drops down to her feet, staggering. Katie rolls out of the ring. Gigi then sees Theron and runs over and dropkicks the chair back into him. Theron falls back to the floor.

Sharper: “The Stewards fighting back. Katie getting up and Eriksson caught in the back of the head.”

Knots: “Gigi got Theron!”

Gigi looks at Eriksson as Katie heads around the ring. Eriksson gets to his hands and knees and Gigi runs over and hits a sliding double knee into the side of his body. She goes for the pin.

Sharper: “The Stewards keeping the pressure on. Double DDT gets Eriksson down but only for a two.”

Knots: “And Theron’s back up. And he’s pissed off!”

Theron is back up on the floor and grabs the chair and throws it into the ring. Katie turns and dodges. She backs up and snaps at the official. The official warns Theron, but Theron ignores him, reaching under the ring and pulls out another chair. He then turns and starts to head after Gigi. Gigi looks at him and backs up along the apron. Theron turns and swings at Gigi. The crowd ohs. The official heads over and warns him again. Katie then turns as Eriksson hits a cutter. He rolls her over and hooks the leg. The official sees this.

Theron throws Gigi down and turns and grabs the official.

Sharper: “And Theron wanting to just attack the Stewards with that chair!”

Knots: “That’s not a Steward, Sharper. That’s a zebra!”

Sharper: “Threatening the official! The hell is wrong with this team.”

Theron then shoves the official down and snaps at him. Theron turns around and the bell sounds, the official calling for it.

Phillips: “Fans, the official of this match has disqualified Dakon Theron. Therefore, your winners are Team Desire!”

Theron turns and then walks over to the official, Steve Hollinsworth and drags him up before dropping him with the Blade Driver. The crowd ohs and boos. Theron gets up and looks at them before Gigi runs at Theron. Katie looks at her, before Katie then follows after and Gigi kicks him in the ribs. Katie kicks him too.

Sharper: “And now the Stewards getting out of there as Eriksson is incensed! But we need to check on Steve Hollinsworth!”

Katie and Gigi look at the ring as TJ heads around to them. Katie then smiles and extends her arm as “Sweet but Psycho” plays throughout the arena. The crowd looks on as Eriksson turns and threatens some of the officials, while others try to get around to the ring to check on Hollinsworth.

Breakdown returns as we see Polly Pingotti backstage, pacing. Colleen and Aisling are with her.

Polly: “Get me a rematch! Get me Deanna again!”

Polly turns to the camera.

Polly: “Deanna, I know you will hear this and you know I wasn’t the same person I was even a year ago. While I have been through far more than I deserve, one thing it has done it teach me to step up for myself because I have to. And while I’ve made questionable decisions and I can’t always explain them, this one is clear. You didn’t beat me Deanna!”

Polly looks at the camera. Colleen and Aisling support their friend.

Polly: “My arm was under the bottom rope. I was ready to keep going. But the referee missed it. But you can’t ignore it. You, CHBK, anyone…I know I can beat you Deanna. I know I can be a champion in SCW. And I’m not letting this go! So Deanna…do the right thing!”

Polly turns and places her head in her hands as Colleen comes over and hugs her friend. Breakdown cuts away.

The lights dim, only a few small ones on the stage as the voice of Bree Lancaster whispers:

“I am the light of the truth
The one who sees right through”

A guitar riff plays as the small lights dance around the stage, then suddenly stop, as one large beam shines down onto the figure of Bree Lancaster herself.

“Spotlight”

The smaller lights begin again swirling as the music of “Spotlight” by Fozzy kicks in and Bree makes her way down the ramp. She holds the SCW Adrenaline Championship.

Sharper: “And Bree Lancaster is again the Adrenaline Champion. She defeated Alistaire Allocco and Autumn Valentine at Body, Heart, and Soul!”

Knots: “Don’t let Lexy hear you say that. Alistaire was pinned. A travesty! Sorry Bree, but after all that Adam has done to help him come back, and then to hear he may be hurt…was it worth it, Bree? Huh?!”

[I am the light of the truth, The one who sees right through
I know your every move, I got my eye on you
Go on and bury it down, I follow you 'til it's out
I got my eye on you, I got my eye on you]

Bree smiles at the front row fans as she gets to the ring and goes up the steps, stepping through the ropes. She goes to a corner and gets on the second turnbuckle, posing with one hand up overhead. The crowd cheers.

[You're the wicked, I'm a sharp knife
Shining on you like a spotlight
I'm a witness, I'm a dark night]

The lights go down, and one beam shines on Bree in the corner.

[You're a sickness, I'm your spotlight]

The lights come up and Bree hops down as the music fades out. Bree walks to the corner and is handed a microphone. She takes it and walks back to the middle of the ring and looks around as the crowd cheers her.

Bree: “Well Charlotte…how does it feel to have an Adrenaline Champion who earned the title, hmmm?”

The crowd ohs a bit.

Bree: “What? Was I incorrect? I know, I know. Alistaire did defend the title at Fatal Fortunes. But other than that, Adam Allocco handed him the title.”

Bree shakes her head.

Bree: “Look, if he didn’t like it, he could’ve stepped up and beat me, beat Autumn, and shut us both up. But he did not. And I get wanting to make up for lost time. After what happened to him, he deserved something good, but that was not the way to go about it. And now, Alistaire…I hear that the rumour is that you’ve been removed from active in-ring competition. I just hope it’s nothing too permanent and if you want a rematch, since those are a thing again, I’ll happily give you one when you return if I’m still holding this title…and either you’ll earn it by beating me for it, or you’ll be reminded that you needed to work back up to this point.”

The crowd cheers a bit.

Knots: “Great. Wherever Alistaire is, he’s going to have to worry about that. Adam!”

Sharper: “Adam can’t help him here.”

Knots: “He’s just trying to make amends! And Alistaire appreciates it!”

Sharper: “Great. But let’s focus on our new Adrenaline Champion, Bree Lancaster!”

Bree: “But that then brings me to the third person in that match…the woman I did not beat to win this title…And I know Lexy, you’re looking to find a contract for a match. All to get Autumn this shot. Even though, it really should have been Syren. Syren however looks to have her own challenges, thanks to you.”

Bree shakes her head.

Bree: “Well, I’ll again make this easy. I’m not going to be hard to find.”

Bree looks at the crowd.

Bree: “Again, I hate to slag Alistaire when he’s not here to defend himself, but when he said Autumn and I should fight to see who gets the right to face him…that’s pissed me off. And I’m not going to sit here and judge who deserves a shot at this title. At least not in words. Not in obstacles. The only way is if you can get past me. Stand up to me and I’ll test you. Because I feel good. Very good. I said on the last Breakdown and at Body, Heart, and Soul I would let my in-ring wrestling do the talking and it did! Simple as that!”

“Hero” by Caleb Hyles and Jonathan Young starts to play. The crowd boos as Bree turns to the entrance way. She just scoffs and laughs. A few moments pass before we see Simon Lyman walking out from the back in a white suit. He looks out at the crowd, pointing out with one hand while holding a microphone in the other. The crowd boos loudly as he looks around and smiles.

Sharper: “And Simon Lyman comes out.”

Knots: “Our Savior is here!”

Sharper: “Oh lord…”

Simon turns and looks at the ring.

Simon: “Bree! Bree! Bree!”

Bree: “I would tell you to keep my name out of your mouth, but we know you wouldn’t stop.”

Simon: “Trust me…if I wanted to, you, Amy, and anyone affiliated with your family would still be digging up from the burial I would give you all, but no…I’m here actually on business.”

The crowd boos.

Simon: “Victorious over Adam Brock who I gave a thrashing of a lifetime to at Body, Heart, and Soul…it’s time to reconsider where to put my attention and my management team has made a wonderful suggestion. They think that I would be an AMAZING Adrenaline Champion. And I frankly agree! I mean, can’t be much harder to surpass you.”

Bree: “I would be careful how much you want to piss me off as I already know how to make you regret some of your choices, thanks to Josh Hudson and what he did to you at End of the Year Special.”

Simon: “You don’t need to focus on lies and slander. My team is already making sure that match will never see a digital light ever again.”

The crowd boos as Simon looks at the ring.

Bree: “Well I wouldn’t then hold much into how you won at Body, Heart, and Soul-“

Simon: “You should stop right there. You just said you wouldn’t judge a challenge except in the ring. And I’m right here telling you, I can, and I will, beat you for that Adrenaline Championship. So Bree…let’s make this all official!”

Bree looks out at the crowd.

Bree: “I have a sense that Charlotte would hate me to give you the light of day-“

The crowd cheers as Bree smirks.

Bree: “But Simon-“

Simon: “No buts. Come on Bree. Put your money where your mouth is!”

Bree smirks and goes to respond, before we see Adam Brock run up behind Simon and spin him around and nails him with a hard right. The crowd erupts.

Sharper: “Adam Brock! Not done from Body, Heart, and Soul!”

Knots: “Sore loser!”

Sharper: “Lyman used every trick in the book to win, every short cut. Brock is just returning volley!”

Brock nails Lyman again and Lyman falls back, rolling down the rampway, going head over heels and rolling over and over and over again and rolling right down to the mats at ringside. He looks up, reaching out, discombobulated. Brock stalks him, walking down to the ring and runs over to Lyman and grabs him.

Brock: “You won at Body, Heart and Soul, Lyman. But you didn’t win the war! I’m not letting a dishonourable asshole like you get ahead like that!”

Brock then grabs Lyman, holding his head and running him violently into the ringpost. Lyman spins off as Bree applauds. Lyman rolls through and into a heap by the barricade. Brock storms over to him. Lyman crawls forward and Brock grabs him and pulls him up and drags him to the ring. The camera angle changes to show Lyman bleeding from the forehead and the blood dripping onto his white suit. Brock then nails him over and over with hard right hands, causing the blood to continue to come out faster.

Sharper: “Brock is bloodying Simon Lyman!”

Knots: “Bree’s endorsing it! And Brock is enjoying it! Poor Simon!”

Sharper: “All thank to Simon’s arrogance and hubris!”

Brock gets a few more shots in as Lyman drops to a knee. Blood covers his white suit, staining it and his white shirt. Brock looks at his handiwork and then nails him one more time with a hard right hand. Lyman drops to the mats. He rolls over. Officials run down from the back. The crowd looks on as Brock climbs up onto the apron and looks out at the crowd. The crowd cheers him.

Sharper: “Lyman laid out. Brock standing tall!”

Knots: “Help him! Come on! Bree! Help him!”

Sharper: “I don’t think she is!”

Simon reaches out, blood dripping down onto the mats as officials come over and stand between him and Brock. Lyman remains down, struggling. The crowd cheers as the scene cuts away.

“Psycho in my Head” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. Stills for Twisted & Sadistic and Light in the Darkness come up on the screen.

Sharper: “Folks! Main event time. World Tag Team Championship on the line!”

Knots: “Is Dark Fantasy going to ruin this?”

Sharper: “I hope not. This could be a classic! Twisted & Sadistic against Light in the Darkness. Will history be made? We’ll find out next!”

The scene fades to black.

Twisted & Sadistic vs. Light in the Darkness

SCW World Tag Team Championship

Jason Phillips stands in the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is your main event, scheduled for onefall with TV time remaining and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship!”

The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen. The opening riff to “Best of Both Worlds” by Van Halen begins to play. Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan emerge from behind the curtain simultaneously. The fans cheer while Glory goes from one end of the stage to the other, playing to the crowd and getting them into it. Lohan, meanwhile, continues her march to the ring.

“Something reached out and touched me
Now I know all I want
I want the best of both worlds
And honey I know what it's worth
If we could have the best of both worlds
We'd have Heaven right here on Earth”

Braddock springs towards the ring, catching up with Lohan in time to slide in just barely ahead of her underneath the bottom rope. Lohan enters the ring the traditional way. Brittany remains stoic in the center of the ring while Glory again plays to the crowd, going to each of the four corners and raising her arms high in the air, drawing cheers from the fans. Braddock then rejoins Lohan in the center of the ring as the music dies down.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock hopes that tonight she will make history, that she will become the SCW World Tag Team Champions with her friend and former rival, Brittany Lohan, and finally become a Supreme Champion.”

Knots: “But is Dark Fantasy going to get involved? Are they going to be a factor? Time for Syren and Ravyn Taylor to show who they really are!”

Sharper: “I hope not. I hope we get to see these two top flight teams compete in what I hope, I think will be, a hell of a match.”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. “In the Name of Love” by Arion feat. Cyan Kicks begins to play, the LED screens flickering to life to show a large wisteria tree in front of a starry night sky with a beautiful moon, the stars seeming like they’re slowly shifting and dancing around as petals from the tree fall and gracefully glide through the sky. One spotlight comes to life on the left side of the stage from the camera’s perspective, revealing Amelia Blythe standing underneath it, eyes focused on the ring and a small smile on her lips as her hands are folded in front of her, giving her the look of a proper young lady. A second spotlight comes to life on the right side of the stage, revealing La Pequeña Luz standing underneath it with the kind of grin that could light up a room all on its own as she motions with her hands for the fans to get pumped up, which they immediately proceed to do. They both have their World Tag Team Championship belts around their waists while Luz has her Television Championship over her shoulder. The two slowly turn their attention to one another and begin closing the distance, their spotlights following them as they stop within arm’s reach of one another, where Amelia extends her hand and Luz takes it before they pull their bodies close, the spotlights merging into one piercing through the darkness. When the song goes into the chorus, the two ladies begin to literally waltz their way down to the ring, fast and fluid to keep pace with the song as the spotlight follows their every move, leaving fans mesmerized by their synergy. As the chorus reaches its end and the two find themselves at the bottom of the ramp, they push away from one another as far as their arms will allow without letting go before quickly pointing to the LED screens with their free hands, where the night scene is immediately engulfed in white before transitioning to a video package of the two ladies in action, both together and individually. Slowly, the two release one another, the single spotlight splitting in two again as Amelia makes her way up the steps to walk across the apron on one side, wiping her feet before stepping through the ropes. Luz, meanwhile, hops up onto the apron right in front of her and grabs the top rope before vaulting herself into a somersault into the ring, landing on her feet. She moves to the center of the ring and drops to her knees, cupping her hands together in front of her while Amelia stands right behind her, hands folded before her once again. As Luz lifts her cupped hands upward, the arena lights slowly begin to come back on as Amelia takes her hands and pulls her to her feet, spinning her around one final time into a tight embrace and a soft kiss before the two move to their corner to prepare for battle, with both girls shedding their robes and Amelia also removing her mask.

Sharper: “And Amelia Blythe and La Pequena Luz, Light in the Darkness, have taken on all comers.”

Knots: “And have survived as champions. Beat Dark Fantasy back to back. First at Under Attack. Then at Body, Heart, and Soul.”

Sharper: “But Twisted & Sadistic is a very different challenge.”

Knots: “But one that Dark Fantasy beat! And one that Light in the Darkness has beat.”

Sharper: “And Twisted and Sadistic has beaten them.”

The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Fans, your referee for this match, SCW senior official, Aaron Demitra.”

Demitra steps up.

Phillips: “First, the challengers, they are the team of Brittany Lohan and Glory Braddock…Twisted & Sadistic!”

The crowd roars as Glory just keeps focusing on Luz and Amelia while Brittany Lohan stretches out.

Phillips: “And their opponents, they are the SCW World Tag Team Champions…the team of the SCW Television Champion, La Pequena Luz, and Amelia Blythe, they are the team of Light in the Darkness!”

Luz and Amelia step up, holding their World Tag Team Championships over their heads. They then hand them to Demitra. Demitra holds them over his head before handing them off. Phillips leaves the ring as Luz and Blythe talk before Blythe steps up. Braddock steps up for her team. The crowd roars. The bell sounds.

Sharper: “Light in the Darkness with Blythe starting. Glory Braddock starting for Twisted & Sadistic. Here we go.”

Knots: “Some British style right off the bat!”

Lohan drops down to the floor and heads over and grabs Ravyn, as she’s stomping on Glory. Ravyn turns and looks at Lohan. Lohan hoists her up and chokes her in a double choke. She holds her up before we see Lexy Chapel running out and stopping by the rampway. Syren runs over and stops and then hits a superkick to Lohan. Lohan drops Ravyn and falls to the mats.

Sharper: “Superkick!”

Knots: “She was right! It solves all problems!”

Sharper: “Syren saving her tag partner, her wife, and with Lexy Chapel’s urging.”

Blythe heads over to Luz and helps her slowly recover. They see Dark Fantasy at ringside as Lohan stirs. Braddock remains down. Ravyn smirks as she looks over and then backs up, holding her throat.

Sharper: “We have new Tag Champs.”

Knots: “They don’t look like winners. No celebration here!”

Sharper: “Dark Fantasy taking that moment from Twisted and Sadistic! God damn it!”

The scene fades to black…
