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

 

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

 

 

MAIN SHOW:



“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Giovanni Aries hitting Selena Frost and Ravyn Taylor with the Down the Rabbit Hole and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on an opponent before showing Syren nailing Josh Hudson with a steel chair.
 
"They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams"
 
We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber. We cut to a shot of Konrad Raab doing some shadowboxing in the ring before showing Ikiro Yoshida, Derek Adonis and Manvel in the ring with the KABLAMA Sutra. We follow up with a shot of Gable Winchester walking away from Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson.
 
"I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)"

 

A shot of Christy Matthews posing in the crowd follows. Amy Chastaine locking in the Torniquet on an opponent is shown before showing Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity. We then see Ace Marshall nailing someone with the One Eyed Royal.
 
"I'll try to picture me without you but I can't"

 

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne running and attacking Regan Street in the ring.
 
"Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,
immor immortals
Immortals"
 
We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking down at herself, while posing in the corner before showing Adrenaline Rush in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and Bill Barnhart lifting Ikiro Yoshida up with the Barnhart Shoulder Breaker walking to the ring are shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping an opponent with the CATastrophe before showing Bree Lancaster nailing Marie Jones with the Classifier, followed by a shot of Tyler Tucker going for the Caffeine Crash before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

 

The scene then cuts to show the inside of the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, as we see the lights turned out and a red hue coming over the ring as a video plays on the big screen. We see fans taking pictures before cutting to a shot of the outside of the Quicken Loans Arena.

 

Spirit: “There you see the home for tonight Breakdown. We are live in Cleveland tonight as we are just a few days away from the Trios Tournament, this Sunday on pay per view!”

 

We then slowly cut to the inside of SCW Studios to see Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at their desk, looking at the camera.

 

Spirit: “And we’ll welcome you inside the SCW Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters and we’re changing it up here in SCW. This is how we’ll greet every week before Breakdown and at the half way point. And Shawn, tonight, we’ve got a big night, with a huge main event.”

 

On the screen behind them, we see Bree Mason vs. Selena Frost appear.

 

Winters: “That’s right. And it’s got a lot going into it. Bree Mason is a loose ally with Past, Present, Future, who hates Selena Frost. Selena Frost…Josh Hudson was told by Sienna Swann last week to take her out. That could happen tonight.”

 

Spirit: “Well Sienna is just a bit fired up. Selena Frost and her going the distance at Learning from History.”

 

Winters: “And she’s making sure she’s not going to be an issue for her. And let’s not forget, Bree, Selena, Hudson and Sienna are all in the tournament. So is Regan Street. It’s going to be a fun time at the Trios Tournament on Sunday.”

 

Spirit: “Well moving on…we’re also going to have a big treat tonight. The boss himself, Mr. D will be making an announcement later. He’ll speak with Jessica winters. A lot I even want to ask him, but…”

 

Winters: “I’m sure. But maybe he’ll make some announcement about Kennedy Street or Bree Mason or something else. A lot going on in SCW.”

 

Spirit: “Of course with that Giovanni Aries will continue to defend the Wonderland. He’ll face Alistaire Allocco later, one week after attacking Leviticus. Ace Marshall getting past Thirteen last week too.”

 

Winters: “Craftiness being the enemy of insanity!”

 

Spirit: “All that and much more. Including a steel cage match. Dylan Howell to face Andrew Raynes. The cage is hanging over the ring as you see there.”

 

We then see on the screen, the cage over the ring, before we see blue lights going around the arena.

 

Winters: “Looks like your friend’s enemy is on her way out.”

 

Spirit: “It does look like Selena Frost is on her way to the ring. Selena Frost, she’s opening us up. Let’s go to ringside and to Cleveland where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are waiting. Gentlemen?”

We then cut to the inside of Quicken Loans Arena to hear “What I Believe” by Skillet playing and we see Selena Frost walking down the rampway towards the ring.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Cleveland. Thank you Spirit. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots at ringside.”

 

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

 

Knots: “Yeah and we get an extra five minutes to get ready. How about that?!”

 

Sharper: “We do. And you’re now here for the whole show.”

 

Knots: “Selena’s here. Can I leave?”

 

Sharper: “No. You’re staying right here.”

 

Knots: “Why can’t Selena be like Sienna and be out here in small doses so the fans recognize her amazingness….and just with Selena, we just hope she stays gone!”

 

Sharper: “Because Selena is here for her fans and she has something to say. She wants another match with Sienna .She wants to force Sienna to prove she can go in the ring!”

 

Knots: “And Sienna proved Selena couldn’t beat her. Move on!”

 

Sharper: “And then Sienna told Josh Hudson to take her out before Trios Tournament. Josh Hudson, who is part of Past, Present, Future, but also teaming with Selena Frost in the Trios Tournament!”

 

Knots: “It’s about the big picture!”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, she’s not in her wrestling gear. She will face Bree Mason later tonight in our main event, but she has something to say.”

 

We cut to the ring as Selena Frost goes over to the corner, is handed a microphone, and turns back to the middle of the ring. She looks around as the crowd cheers her as her music fades out.

 

Selena: “So last week, Past, Present, Future had another week where they needed to remind everyone what they are capable of. Apparently jumping people from behind, attacking people who they just don’t like and oh yeah…despite one person flaunting that I didn’t beat them…nevermind that they didn’t beat me…they’re now sending their Hall of Famer after me to take me out just so she doesn’t feel threatened in the Trios Tournament that will take place this Sunday.”

 

The crowd boos. Selena chuckles a bit.

 

Selena: “Really? This is where we’re at?”

 

Selena chuckles a bit.

 

Selena: “For someone who talks about being a champion….being PERFECT…how I couldn’t beat you. You seem to be running scared. I know that in your magazines and in your many promotional appearances figured out by your management, you can insulate yourself, but here, we will call you out…I will call you out. And you may not have beaten me at Learning from History. I certainly didn’t beat you. But with you taking the mantle from Kelcey Wallace, calling yourself the REAL Perfect Ten…you’re not even capable of filling her shadow…She…she challenged me for years wanting to prove she could take me on. You’re happy with a time limit draw.”

 

Selena shakes her head.

 

Selena: “See Sienna, you can find whatever you can to get rid of me. Talk about how you’re a champion and you only lose if you lose it when it counts. You can have your allies come after me. I’ve been down this road before and hell, you’ve even stood next to me by my side when it’s happened, but this is rich. You’re only Perfect in name Sienna. But that’s fine. You want the easy way out. You know that if you face me one more time…you’re not sure if you’ll get past me. And everyone is talking about our match. Even with Syren stealing the title with the help of Dark Fantasy, they still couldn’t overshadow the match we had. And that’s the sad part. You could be that great, but you’d rather hide. So Sienna, I’m not going to let you hide. I’m not going to let you stand for your so-called win through the time limit draw. I’m going to keep coming after you. You can’t stop that. Josh Hudson can’t stop that and he’s sure as hell not going to kick my ass. And Sienna, even though I know you’re not going to come out here because why would you…it’s not the right time…you need to let people wait…to make them wonder if they’ll have the privilege of seeing you…”

 

Selena pauses and shakes her head. The crowd boos.

 

Selena: “Well, I hope you watch tonight when I beat your friend, Bree and I’m sure you’re telling her to take me out. You may even send Josh out after me too. Bring the entirety of Past, Present, Future…I’ll stand right up to them and I’ll not go down until I have a chance to face you one more time! BELIEVE IT!”

 

Selena brings the microphone down and backs up. “What I Believe” by Skillet starts to play again. The crowd cheers a bit as Selena looks around. She then puts the microphone down before turning and walking over to the ropes and stepping through them, dropping down to the floor.

 

Sharper: “A statement to say the least.”

 

Knots: “Sounds like sour grapes.”

 

Sharper: “Calling out Sienna for her complacency, for essentially putting out a hit on her….and then telling her to watch. That’s not sour grapes. That’s someone with integrity!”

 

Knots: “Please don’t say Believe it?”

 

Sharper: “You just did.”

 

Knots: “Oh shut up.”

 

Selena starts to walk to the back as the camera follows her before we cut to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see Sienna Swann just rolling her eyes as the crowd boos.

 

Sienna: “She just doesn’t get it. She couldn’t beat me. It’s over and no amount of goading is going to get a rematch. I outlasted her.”

 

Regan: “It’s Selena. She needs to make it about herself and until she gets what she wants, she’ll just keep going. Ignore her and move on-“

 

There’s a knock at the door.

 

Sienna: “Oh I plan to. Josh can take Selena out and then I can focus on what I want. Like there better be a World Title shot coming my way.”

 

Regan: “Either you or Bree…”

 

Sienna: “Yeah and then and Bree can have a true classic.”

 

Regan: “Yeah, well not like they’re going to find me any competition.”

 

Mikaela: “Uh…guys…”

 

Sienna turns and Regan just glares and steps out.

 

Regan: “Oh you’ve got to be kidding.”

 

We turn to the door to see Ikiro Yoshida holding a bouquet of supermarket roses with Tanahashi next to him. Regan turns and lunges at him.

 

Ikiro: “No! No no no!”

 

Regan grabs him and pulls him in.

 

Ikiro: “No harm!”

 

Tanahashi looks at Regan as Sienna then rolls her eyes.

 

Regan: “I’ll drop him right now.”

 

Ikiro: “No harm. One date….”

 

Sienna sighs and steps forward.

 

Sienna: “No…not worth it….waste of your time.”

 

Regan: “I’ll do it. Keeps me sharp.”

 

Regan smirks as Ikiro pulls away and extends the roses.

 

Tanahashi: “For you, Sienna.”

 

Sienna reaches over and grabs them.

 

Sienna: “Fifteen bucks from Walgreens?”

 

Tanahashi: “Thought that counts?!”

 

Sienna throws the roses back.

 

Ikiro: “Just one date.”

 

Tanahashi: “He just wants one date. If there’s no spark, he will leave you alone.”

 

Regan: “She’s not playing hard to get. She wants to you piss off-“

 

Sienna: “You know what….”

 

Sienna pauses.

 

Sienna: “I could use a night away from Selena’s prattling.”

 

Mikaela: “Wait? Really?”

 

Sienna sighs.

 

Sienna: “Yes….this better be good. You get one shot.”

 

Regan: “Last week you told him not. Come on, you don’t have to-“

 

Sienna: “Think of it as charity.”

 

Sienna turns and storms back to the back of the locker room. Ikiro jumps up and down in glee.

 

Knots: “Wait? What? That’s more than charity. Ikiro Yoshida isn’t in her league!”

 

Sharper: “She’s going to let it happen. I guess it is Valentine’s Day. Maybe there is a feeling of love in the air.”

 

Knots: “What is going on?”

 

Sienna grabs her coat and turns to Regan. Regan shakes her head.

 

Regan: “Well just let me know if you’re taking him back to the room…I don’t need to hear that-“

 

Sienna smirks.

 

Sienna: “If that happens, he won’t be conscious when he sees this.”

 

Sienna winks as Regan shakes her head. We cut to the ring.

Donovan Kayl vs. Angelica Jones

SCW Television Championship

 

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first, the challenger....”

"Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. As he stands atop the ramp, he throws his arm out with each big note of the beginning musical portion. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Phillips: “From Toronto, Ontario... he is the Cornerstone, Donovan KAYL!”

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd. Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby. He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head and looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly and getting up to both feet.

Sharper: “What a way to kick off the action here on the Valentine's Day edition of Breakdown. Donovan Kayl likely walking into this with mixed emotions. He's earned a chance to break a years-long dry spell in singles championship, but... it's not against the opponent he wanted. Angelica Jones played spoiler to Kayl's plans for payback against Torsten Voigt.

Knots: “What's that line about best laid plans going to hell, or something?”

Sharper: “Close enough, Jon.”

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

"I Lost My Miiiiiiind..."

The image of a red dragon appears on the Tron. The dragon is engulfed in flames as it is replaced by a phoenix. Then that too goes up in flames as it is replaced by an image of Angelica Jones. Angelica then steps out onto the stage. She is dressed in all black, from head to toe, and that includes a black trenchcoat. Her long hair hangs down to shoulder length. She stares menacingly, sadistically down at the ring, pausing before finally beginning to make the long walk to the ring.

Phillips: “And his opponent... from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the current SCW Television Champion... Angelica Jones!”

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

Sharper: “Angelica Jones may not be the opponent Donovan wanted, but she's who he's got, and she looks game, she isn't going to want her first singles run in SCW to end after just a week.

Knots: “I'll give credit where it's due, she knocked off Torsten Voigt, someone who's run roughshod over just about everyone he's stood against. That's impressive, I don't care who you are.”


The bell rings and Kayl and Jones circle each other a bit before Kayl lunges and takes Jones down with an arm drag. They both get back up quick. Kayl goes for another. Again, both are up quick. Kayl attempts a third, but Jones blocks in then grabs Kayl's arm and sends him into the ropes. On the rebound Jones spins and catches Kayl in the jaw with a back elbow. Kayl staggers back. Angelica bounces off the ropes and nails a flying forearm. She then springboards off the middle rope twisting into a crossbody. Kayl goes down, but he shoves Jones off almost immediately. Both scramble to their feet and the crowd cheers.


Sharper: “Quick action to start, Angelica managing to take Kayl off his feet for a second or two.”

Knots: “He didn't stay down long though, if Angelica wants to remain champion she's gonna have to do better than that.”

Champion and challenger lock up and Kayl switches to holding Jones from behind, both arms hooked behind her back. He then repositions her and slams her down with a pumphandle slam. Kayl makes a cover.

1!

2!

Jones shoots her shoulder up. Kayl backs off and Jones gets to her feet. Kayl grabs her arm and sends her into the corner. He follows looking to shoulder block her into the turnbuckle, but Jones gets a boot up. Kayl steps back and Jones stands up straight then gets on the bottom ropes. She bounces off and takes Kayl down with a frankensteiner.  Jones lands an elbow drop followed by a leg drop, then makes a cover.


1!

2!

Kayl kicks out. Jones rolls off and gets up. Kayl is up too but Jones is waiting for him. He turns to face her and she kicks him in the stomach then plants him with a DDT. Instead of going for a cover though, Jones goes to the corner and climbs.

Sharper: “Series of nearfalls there and I'm not sure Angelica shouldn't be trying again here.”

Knots: “Kayl is a tough customer, she has to go big or go home without her title.”

Jones stands on the middle rope facing out. She looks over her shoulder to make sure Kayl hasn't moved then leaps backwards with a lionsault from the corner. The crowd cheers.

Knots: “Whoa! Angelica with some Divine Impact from the corner! See Sharper, that's what she needed!”


Sharper: “And now she's going for the win...”

Jones hooks Kayl's leg.

1!

2!

Kayl gets his shoulder up. Jones gets up, brushing her hair back, frustrated. Kayl rolls over then gets to his feet. Jones comes at him quick with a series of strikes to the chest and abdomen. Kayl blocks some, then counters by grabbing Jones' arm. He pulls her in then throws her up and over with a release belly to belly suplex. Kayl turns and lands an elbow drop. Jones rolls over and away. Kayl grabs Jones' by the leg and pulls her to the middle of the ring, before applying a Boston crab. The crowd roars as Jones reaches towards the ropes, despite how far away they are. Jones pushes herself up on her hands to try to take some of the pressure off. Kayl pulls back harder. Jones yells in pain, put starts to pull herself forward with her hands on the mat. She reaches for the ropes again, but she is still too far away.

Sharper: “Angelica in a bad position here, and this just shows you the experience of the veteran Donovan Kayl, to pull her nearly dead center of the ring before applying this hold.”

Knots: “Angelica can be called a veteran herself, she's not a rookie. See, she's escaping!”

Jones tucks her head and uses her hands to push herself forward, basically rolling into a somersault, pulling Kayl down with her legs. She rolls through into a rollup pin.

1!


2!


Kayl shifts the weight and gets Jones' shoulders down instead.

3!


Kayl lets go as the bell rings. The crowd roars as Jones just lays there, one hand over her forehead in disappointment.

Phillips: “Here is your winner via pinfall..... and NEW Television Champion.... Donovan Kayl!”

The official gets the belt from the timekeeper and hands to to Kayl as soon as he's to his feet. He takes it and looks down at it a few seconds, before then raising it overhead to another roar from the crowd.

Sharper: “Angelica nearly had Donovan with that rollup, but he countered and got the three count instead.”

Knots: “You gotta wonder, Sharper, if that Boston crab had anything to do with Angelica's ability to keep the pin, Kayl could have weakened her back just enough to be able to counter that pin predicament.”

Sharper: “It's possible, Jon, Kayl wastes no movement in the ring, and there he stands with the results of a year of his resurgence as a singles competitor. Semi-finals of Shot of Adrenaline last year, kept himself in the forefront of things all year and now? Television Champion, ending a near-decade long singles title drought. Well deserved in my opinion.”

Angelica Jones has gotten to her feet and approaches Kayl. They just look at each other a few seconds, then Angelica sticks her hand out. Kayl doesn't hesitate to shake it and the crowd cheers as we cut away.

We open up backstage to see Mr. D talking to an official backstage before we see Bill Barnhart walking up to him.

 

Barnhart: “Hey! Boss!”

 

Mr. D turns and looks at Barnhart.

 

Mr. D: “Excuse me? I’m having a conversation-“

 

Barnhart: “It can wait. I’ve been here two months. I’ve beaten number one contenders to the World Title. I beat your Adrenaline Champion a month ago. Where’s my shot?”

 

Mr. D: “It’s under consideration-“

 

Barnhart: “Under consideration? The only consideration should be I’m next.”

 

Mr. D: “Well Bill, you’ve been around the block a few times. You’ll get your opportunity when I decide.”

 

Mr. D turns and walks off. Barnhart watches him leave and snarls a bit before we hear a bark. Barnhart turns as Iris is there.

 

Barnhart: “Looks like we’ll need to prove more.”

 

Iris starts to sniff around as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We return to the inside of the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland to see Derek Adonis in one of the concourses. We see Cookie holding up copies of the KABLAMa Sutra. Manvel is also in the background. Adonis can be seen standing on a box.

 

Adonis: “Get your KABLAMa Sutra here. Make this Valentine’s Day the most KABLAMiest ever! Eighteen and over only! Get your parent’s permission otherwise!”

 

Knots: “Wait? What?!”

 

Sharper: “Well, Derek Adonis trying to make sure that everyone has a wonderful evening, we’ll say.”

 

Knots: “What was that about parents?”

 

Sharper: “He’s being responsible…I guess.”

 

The crowd roars as we see some fans coming up to Adonis and exchanging money for a copy of the book as we cut back to the ring.

Har Megiddo in action

 

We cut back to the ring to see two men in the ring.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall with a ten minute time limit. First, already in the ring, from Cleveland, Ohio, this is Eric Fillmore and his tag partner, from Erie, Pennsylvania, Jack Travis!”

 

The crowd gives some polite applause.

 

Knots: “Okay, over/under….three.”

 

Sharper: “Three what?”

 

Knots: “Three broken bones between them.”

 

Sharper: “Stop it.”

 

Knots: “I’m serious! Plus, I’m taking the over. I want your money. Put something down here.”

The opening of “Davidian” by Machine Head begins to play as Behemoth, Malphas, and Kali emerge from the back. They push and shove each other, yelling “encouragement” as they move down the ramp.

 

Phillips: “And their opponents, from Hell, Michigan, accompanied by Damian Angel and Kali, they are Malphas and Behemoth, Har Megiddo!”

 

Damian Angel follows behind the trio, cane in hand, simply walking as he prepares his own strategy inside his head. They reach the ring and both Malphas and Behemoth pull each other up onto the apron. Damian Angel stands at ringside as Kali looks at him. Kali then turns to the ring. Malphas and Behemoth step into the ring. They walk forward. Malphas then yells at Travis and Fillmore. The bell sounds and the referee tries to get the extra people out of the ring. Just then, Malphas grabs Travis, pulling him in before pushing him stiffly into the ropes. He bounces off and Malphas lifts Travis up into a huge back drop, but right into the waiting arms of Behemoth who catches him on his shoulders and slams him down with a vicious powerbomb. The crowd ohs as Travis bounces from the impact before just laying flat on the mat.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God!”

 

Knots: “There’s at least twelve!”

 

Sharper: “With authority and Jack Travis may be dead.”

 

Fillmore just looks around before waving his hands at them. He turns to exit, but Kali is standing there, looking at him. He backs up and just then looks down before turning around and Malphas nails him with a European uppercut. Fillmore falls into his corner and Malphas backs up as Behemoth runs in and nails him in with a hard back elbow. He nails him again with another one and then a third before stepping out of the way as Malphas runs at them and hits a running splash. Fillmore staggers forward and Malphas holds him. He then throws him at Behemoth who launches him up and places him on his shoulders in one motion. The crowd looks on in awe again and Malphas then steps up to the middle turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “Travis still hasn’t moved and now Eric Fillmore-“

 

Knots: “Hometown boy. Good news. His family can visit him in the hospital easy enough!”

 

Behemoth backs up and Malphas jumps up and they hit the Sacrificial Lamb, driving Fillmore into the mat. Malphas rolls him over and covers him with a lateral press.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The bell sounds. The referee backs up and Kali hops onto the apron, cackling. Damian just looks on and taps the apron with his cane before eying the stage. Malphas, Behemoth and Kali then turn, avoiding the traditional arm raising, and start to exit the ring.

 

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Behemoth and Malphas, Har Megiddo!”

 

Sharper: “Mercifully this is over.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Now the long recovery. Yo…all of you in the trainer’s room. Count the broken bones. I need it for reasons!”

 

Sharper: “Stop it! These two young men have been dismantled!”

 

Knots: “And just think what they’ll do if they get their hands on some other teams in the tag divison.”

 

Sharper: “We’ve seen some of that and that’s what makes me very concerned.”

 

Malphas and Behemoth drop to the floor and Kali follows. Damian then points to the back. Har Megiddo slowly head to the back as the official checks on both Eric Fillmore and Jack Travis. We see several other officials jogging down to the ring to check on them, including the trainer. The trainer heads over to Travis as some of the other officials check Fillmore.

 

Knots: “Just watch this…watch this!”

 

REPLAY:

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We see a slow motion shot of Malphas backdropping Jack Travis into Behemoth who spikes him with a vicious powerbomb. The logo comes up on again before we cut to see them hitting the Sacrificial Lamb on Eric Fillmore. The Breakdown logo comes up.

 

Sharper: “Just devastating. No remorse. No stop. Just pure destruction by these two. And with Damian Angel leading them. With Kali at ringside….this is scary.”

 

Malphas, Behemoth and Kali disappear to the back before Damian Angel follows and we cut away.

We see Chad Evans watching the monitor from his luxury box as he just snarls a bit before turning it off. Lexi can be seen in the background.

 

Lexi: “Come on…we can just take them out. We’re the Champions….”

 

Chad: “Shut up.”

 

Lexi: “Come on….I want to hurt someone…for you….my God.”

 

Chad turns and snaps at her.

 

Chad: “Shut up. We’re doing nothing tonight. Not until I know exactly what Damian is going to do. We’re the champions. SCW has to deal with that. And you…I’m not going to let you screw something up.”

 

Lexi backs up a bit.

 

Lexi: “S-sorry.”

 

Chad: “Just like this Sunday….Trios Tournament…”

 

Lexi: “I will win it for you.”

 

Chad: “And if you face me…”

 

Lexi gulps.

 

Lexi: “I’ll make sure my team bows down to you.”

 

Lexi smiles.

 

Chad: “Good.”

 

Chad turns back to the monitor as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We return to Breakdown to see Konrad Raab in the trainer’s room, looking on as Jack Travis is being looked at while on a stretcher and Eric Fillmore is getting checked by the trainer. Konrad just shakes his head.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. There are some of the results of what happened in our last match. Har Megiddo making a statement.”

 

Knots: “And Konrad Raab checking on them. I don’t know if he may want to back off from them. Just leave everything alone.”

 

Sharper: “Not after last week. Not after what happened with Adrenaline Rush. Konrad Raab is going to fight for his team.”

 

Knots: “Well he needs to look out because Sophie James and David Callahan need him for this Sunday in the Trios Tournament!”

Helena Merriman vs. Sophie O’Brian

 

“Hands of the Wicked” begins to play. The lights in the arena fade. A single spotlight shines upon the stage as the tron comes to life and shows images of bloody warfare from all throughout history. The words “Total War” appear on the tron as green pyro begins to go off. Sophie O’Brian then steps out onto the stage side by side with her brother Mark. Sophie’s arms slowly rise up so that they are extended outwards from her sides in a crucifix like pose. She soaks up the response from the crowd. Finally Sophie and Mark begin to make their way towards the ring. Sophie is to the ring area and then climbs up onto the ring apron and then steps into the ring. Mark follows suit. Sophie holds her arms outstretched in another crucifix like pose.

Sharper: “This next contest is between Sophie O Brien as she takes on Helena Merriman. Sophie has slowly been establishing herself as someone who could be a serious threat. She will be looking to continue that streak her tonight.”

Knots: “She has gone to war over the Television title and basically anyone she comes into contact with. Tonight, she goes to war with the one woman army though. Not sure if her opponent will live up to that moniker, but it’ll be interesting to find out.”

"One Woman Army" by Porcelain Black plays. The imposing force dubbed by her mentor, One Woman Army, saunters down to the ring driven by a sense of purpose. She hops on the ring apron. Uses the ropes to springboard herself into the ring. She stretches her long legs in the corner waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “The one woman army you spoke of, Knots is quite an athlete. She is a second generation wrestler who is definitely one who wants to carve her own path. A win over O Brien could indeed put her in the right spot to do so.”

Knots: “I’m sure you’re right as always, but you also need to remember that Helena is in the Trios Tournament. A win could give her some much needed momentum, but a loss could do some damage to her ego as we edge closer to the event.”

The ref checks with both competitors before calling for the bell. Helena steps out of the corner, motioning for Sophie to step forward. Sophie smirks and saunters towards Helena. Helena goes for the tie-up, but Sophie quickly drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring.

The crowd begins to boo as Sophie walks around smirking and shaking her head.

Sharper: “Helena looking to lock horns with O Brien, yet Sophie rolls out of the ring.”

Knots: “It is what many people like to call strategy, partner. Sophie is trying to play mind games already with Helena. It is the art of war, I guess.”

Sophie slowly climbs onto the apron, keeping her eyes on Helena. Helena charges towards Sophie. Sophie drives her shoulder into Helena, knocking her back a few steps. Sophie then climbs to the ring quickly and hooks Helena around the waist, taking her down with a German suplex, planting her shoulders to the mat.

Helena kicks out. Both women quickly get to their feet. Sophie begins to land forearms to Helena, backing her into the corner. Sophie goes for another forearm, only for Helena to catch it. Helena hits a knife edge chop before reversing, sending Sophie into the corner. Helena backs up then charges and connects with a high knee before taking Sophie down to the mat with a bulldog. Helena goes for the quick cover.

Sophie kicks out! Helena lifts Sophie off of the mat then takes her back down again with a snap suplex. Helena goes for another cover, but Sophie kicks out and rolls to the corner. Sophie can be seen glaring at Helena.

Sharper: “Looks like Sophie’s mind games didn’t go as well as she had hoped. Helena taking the fight to her.”

Knots: “I guess that is why she is called the One Woman Army.”

Helena motions for Sophie to bring it. Sophie slowly walks out of the corner. Helena challenges her to a tie up. Sophie moves in for the tie-up, only to kick Helena in the abdomen before taking her down with a DDT. Helena rolls on the mat before slowly pushing herself up. Sophie grabs Helena and takes her down a capture suplex, before going for the pin.

Helena kicks out. Sophie locks in a headlock, but Helena gains her footing, before driving three elbows into Sophie’s side, before taking Sophie down with another snap suplex. Sophie gets to her feet, only for Helena to take her down with a missile dropkick.

Sharper: “Both of these competitors are fighting to gain and maintain the advantage. Helena is getting a bit more offense than Sophie. Helena is showing that she wants this win badly.”

Helena picks Sophie up before dropping her back down with a scoop slam. Helena then goes to the second rope, keeping her eyes on Sophie. Sophie slowly gets to her feet as Helena leaps into the air, going for a moonsault, only for Sophie to drop and roll out of the ring, as Helena hits the mat hard.

Knots: “Helena may have been going for her moonsault neckbreaker, but she may have just broken her own damn neck.”

Helena rolls around in the ring, holding her head. The ref checks on her as Sophie is shown slowly creeping into the ring. Sophie charges towards Helena as she is shown using the ropes to pull herself up. Sophie grabs Helena and hits another German suplex. Sophie maintains her grip before rolling over and taking Helena down with another German, followed by a third. Sophie keeps her arms locked around Helena’s waist, lifting her up before sending Helena crashing into the ring with a release German suplex.

Sharper: “And this may be the opening that Sophie needed. That missed moonsault took a lot out of Helena. The question is how much.”

Knots: “If Sophie keeps up this attack, there may not be much left of the One Woman Army.”

Sophie goes for the cover.

Helena kicks out! Sophie quickly locks in a side headlock, slowly rising to her feet to apply more pressure. Helena starts to slowly gain her footing, with Sophie on her back. Helena gets to her feet, but Sophie takes her down with a reverse DDT. Sophie then locks in the STF. Helena begins to reach for the ropes.

Sharper: “Sophie with the STF, applying more pressure to the head and neck of Helena, who is still feeling the effects of that missed moonsault.”

Helena struggles for a bit before reaching out and grabbing onto the ropes, but Sophie refuses to break the hold. The ref begins the count.

Sophie finally breaks the hold as the crowd boos her.

Knots: “Sophie using as much time as she can to wear down Helena. The crowd may not like it, and while we may not agree with it, it was a smart move.”

The ref backs Sophie away, warning her as Helena is shown using the ropes to pull herself up from the mat. Sophie side steps the referee and goes to club Helena, only for Helena to land a back kick into Sophie’s abdomen. Helena then goes for a discus clothesline, but Sophie dunks. Sophie then spins Helena around and connects with Death of Wisdom.

The crowd boos as Sophie hooks the leg.

The crowd boos as Sophie’s music begins to play. Sophie climbs to her feet and stands in the center of the ring, smirking at the crowd before looking down at Helena, who is slowly moving on the mat.

We open up backstage to see Andrew Raynes and Regan Street talking backstage.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute. Andrew Raynes and Regan Street talking. Let’s listen in here.”

 

A few moment pass before we get sound.

 

Raynes: “-I get that he’s your half brother or something and look, I get it. You’re probably pissed I’m calling out Trinity elsewhere. But look, I’m making a statement.”

 

Regan: “Yeah, well tread lightly on the latter.”

 

Raynes: “Just like Sienna should with that freak.”

 

Regan: “She can take care of herself. He’ll EyeYoshi may need a new change of pants by this point. I just hope she screws with him a bit and knocks his block off.”

 

Raynes: “Well that’s why I’m coming to you. Tonight, I got your half brother. How much do you want your half-brother…the old Dylan back.”

 

Regan: “You better be careful here. He may be warped in the head and those jackasses, Ikiro included, have enabled it…but tread lightly.”

 

Raynes: “I’m not going to. I’m going to hurt him. That’s going to happen. The question is whether you want me to help him get some sense knocked into him. Or am I going to have to look out for you over my shoulder as you look to make more enemies.”

 

Regan doesn’t say anything. Raynes backs up a bit.

 

Raynes: “Don’t say I didn’t warn you or him.”

 

Raynes turns and walks off. Regan watches him leave before we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We return to Breakdown to open up at what appears to be a local Karaoke bar. We see Tanahashi seated with Sienna Swann as Swann looks at the stage and just shakes her head as Ikiro Yoshida can be seen singing on the stage. A drum beat hits.

 

Ikiro: “And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-eeeeeeee-IIIIIIIIII will always love…..yooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”

 

Sienna just rolls her eyes as she turns to her drink, having a sip.

 

Ikiro: “Come on Sienna-“

 

Tanahashi points to the stage.

 

Ikiro: “Will always….love…..youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……YEOAH!”

 

Ikiro drops to his knees. Sienna rolls his eyes and Sienna promptly finishes her drink and holds it up before nodding.

 

Ikiro: “You dawling…..you…mmm-mmm!”

 

He then steps over and goes to the table and stands on the chair as we cut away.

 

Knots: “Looks like he’s winning her over….not.”

 

Sharper: “Well, at least he played to his strengths.”

 

Knots: “Yeah…at least Sienna doesn’t have to worry about Selena. Josh will worry about her. As will Bree!”

We then cut backstage to see Jessica Winters standing backstage with Sam Raine chuckling in the interview area.

 

Jessica: “Welcome backstage. Jessica Winters here and Sam, well, obviously, you can see what we just saw on our monitor.”

 

Raine: “Yeah, well…looks like she’s having a blast. Amazing what arrogance will lead to. Then again, that’s the whole Past, Present, Future line.”

 

Jessica: “About that. We’ve seen you start to go after them. Regan, Sienna…they’ve largely ignored you. Deciding to keep focusing on taking shots at others but…”

 

Raine: “And that will be their downfall. I’ve always had an issue with the Street Family. Part of even why I came here. And I’ve got no love lost for Sienna Swann and Josh Hudson either. In fact, I don’t care. Give me a match against any of them. See, while they can attack people to get their jollies. I’m going to even things up and I’m going to be a thorn in their side because well…I’ve always been good at that. And if it leads to a US Title match. Even better. The fact is that right now, we need people who actually are going to deal with things in the ring. Past, Present, Future….Dark Fantasy….even Ace Marshall and company. A lot of people who need to be put in their place. Selena can be one of those people. Maybe Kennedy…as rich as that is….and I’ll happily stand up to them too. So Regan, Sienna….Josh….I’m right here. Bring it.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Sam and now let’s go to the newest member of our interview team, Hana Ito.”

We cut to see Hana Ito standing by with Jake Starr as the crowd cheers.

 

Hana: “Thank you Jessica. And I am here with Jake Starr who in one week will be challenging for the SCW World Championship. You’ll get your rematch against Syren here on Breakdown and this is an opportunity I’m sure you’re looking forward to.”

 

Jake: “Damn right. See, Syren, she needed to take that approach. Fine. Well, I don’t care about whether Dark Fantasy is out there. I don’t care about whether CHBK is out there. I don’t care about any of that. I just know that yet again I’m going to have walk in, my back up against the wall, everyone gunning for me, if I just want to walk out World Champion. Last time that happened….oh yeah…the Chamber match I used my Trios Tournament contract for…just something to note to all those in the tournament this Sunday. And Syren, she’s in it as well and she may want to make sure that she’s focused on me not the tournament because if not, she may have to waste that contract, if she can even win it.”

 

Jake smirks.

 

Jake: “Then again, with Tommy on her side…who knows? Could happen. Ikiro too. Ikiro certainly showed me that he is going to be in the future of this company. But my future…it’s focused on getting the World Championship back yet again. I didn’t think I’d be here if you asked me a year ago. Now…the spotlight’s on me, nice and bright, and I’m going to take advantage. Bring every trick you and Ravyn and CHBK have, because I’m going to bring in a few tricks of my own if I need to….”

 

Jake turns and grabs something by his leg, holding up a steel chair. The crowd cheers. We then see Tommy Valentine come into the scene.

 

Tommy: “There’s one problem, Jake. I got a bit of a headache from what they did and I stand by what I said a couple of weeks ago. I want to get my hands on them and you know what…I get Syren as a teammate. And I have a decision to make. Do I march to the finals and win the Trios Tournament and then show her why her decision to go along with CHBK and Ravyn was a bad one….or do I just take her out at the start. Because frankly…I can deal with Ikiro. I can stand alongside him. Ravyn…CHBK…and especially Syren….I’m at a point in my career that consequences be damned. I may just do what I want!”

 

Tommy just smiles as Jake can be seen telling him to calm down before we cut away.

We open up in the locker room of Ace Marshall, Cassidy Carter and Alistaire Allocco.

 

Ace: “You realize he’s so stupid that he’s already said he’s not following you.”

 

Cassidy: “Then we’ll feed him to the Wonderland or whatever the hell. I don’t care. He’s facing Katelyn. He can still turn it around. The little twitchy bastard. If not, I’ll take it into my own hands-“

 

Alistaire: “Please don’t. We don’t need to fall to interference. We are better than that.”

 

Ace rolls his eyes.

 

Cassidy: “You know Alistaire…it’s great that you’re that naïve, but seriously…if I want to maim someone I hate, and especially one who would’ve already shacked up with you if she was interested…I’m going to do it.”

 

Alistaire looks up as Ace doesn’t really react.

 

Alistaire: “Well then my match against Giovanni….stay out of it.”

 

Ace looks at Cassidy. Ace shrugs.

 

Ace: “I don’t recall care there. I got what I wanted last week and Giovanni Aries is a crazy person. You want to get murdered. You were the best championship student I ever made.”

 

Cassidy: “What he said.”

 

Alistaire: “Seriously?”

 

Ace: “Sure.”

 

Cassidy: “Yeah. Seriously…we don’t then have to run out there. I don’t have to move that much.”

 

Ace: “I can take off my pants and relax. Hey! Maybe Ravyn is up for a bet-“

 

Cassidy looks at Ace.

 

Cassidy: “Only if I name the terms.”

 

Ace: “Or not.”

 

Alistaire: “Whatever. I’ll prove to you that competing fairly is how you get ahead in professional wrestling.”

 

Ace: “Sure thing there.”

 

Alistaire smiles as he turns back to his gear. Cassidy just twirls her finger around her ear, noting that he’s crazy to Ace as Ace nods and the scene fades to black.

We return to Breakdown to see Derek Adonis walking through the crowd. Manvel has a box behind him, one that’s barely holding together as a result of all of the oil dripping off him.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown-“

 

Knots: “Why the hell is Manvel shirtless….and dripping oil….and where did that come from?”

 

Sharper :”Those are questions you don’t need the answer to.”

 

Knots: “Oh God!”

 

Sharper: “Derek Adonis sharing the glory of the KABLAMa Sutra to all these fans here in Cleveland here on Valentine’s Day!”

 

We cut to the ring.

Kennedy Street vs. Max Kane

 

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the rope showing off her beautiful body in her wrestling gear that leaves little to the imagination. Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk, she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers looking over to the fans and smirks. She continues to make her way down to the ring, giving the fans a show with her outpouring charisma and sexiness, arriving at the apron, crawling in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the flash photography as the crowd roars….

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, from Beverly Hills, CA. weighing in 118 pounds, she is “The Sexy Flawless Diva” Kennedy Street!”

Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner, extending her long muscular legs, doing her pre-match stretches, flipping back her long blonde hair and turns around to lean against the corner ready for the match to start.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street has plenty on her mind. There’s a lot of rumours about whether she’ll get revenge against Syren, Ravyn Taylor or CHBK.”

 

Knots: “I hope she can get the opportunity, but right now, she’s trying to patient and that’s hard. That’s really hard.”

 

"Suck My Kiss" hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane is propelled from underneath the ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and drops to the ramp, the camera right in his face. Max smirks to the camera as he then stands up, revealing that he has an actual red metal guitar in his hands. Jack Parker, Ms. Budde and then the monstrous Savali shortly walking out with him and Max immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is sporting a pair of black shades, black and silver jacket to match his black and silver wrestling pants. Savali is also revealed to have a red metal guitar to which she hands it to Max. He then opens his jacket to reveal that he's wearing a black "Be Brave" t-shirt to which he smirks. Max looks around before he looks at the camera and flashes them.

Max: “What's the problem? What's the problem? This shirt is for me. I'm brave. I'm bold. True advertising right here.”

Max motions for the camera to back away as he then starts playing his guitar to the song. He then stops and then points to the camera with his guitar as he starts walking down to the ring with Jack, Ms. Budde and Savali following him.

Phillips: “And her opponent, From San Francisco, California, accompanied to the ring by Jack Parker, Ms. Budde and Savali, weighing in at two hundred and ten pounds, this is Mad Max Kane!”

Max flashes a smile as he quickly makes his way down the ramp, handing his guitar to Savali as he then struts down the ramp. Jack mouths off a bit to the crowd as he smirks. Savali snarls at the camera as does Ms. Budde. Max once again eyes the camera before putting his arms up in the air for the crowd. The youngster looks at some of the crowd and is seen saying something that isn't picked up. As he gets to ringside, he gets close to the camera.

Max: “Real Rock N Roll in the flesh Cleveland. This is the real main event. The real show has arrived.”

Max points to himself.

Max: “Kennedy Street, Regan Street, Mikala Street, Trinity Street, you could put all the Streets in a row and they wouldn't touch me tonight. Good luck, lady!”

Max then turns away from the camera and prepares to walk to the steel steps. But he he suddenly turns back around to the attention and motions for the camera. He fakes a punch to the camera before running up the steel steps to the apron. Jack and Ms Budde and Savali stay on the outside. Max removes his shades and then jumps over the top rope and into the ring. Max looks around and points to every section of the arena before extending his arms with his hands open once again. Max then calls for Savali to slide in his guitar as Max then proceeds to rip his Be Brave t-shirt and poses with his guitar. Satisfied, Max quickly goes to the corner and takes off his jacket, the ripped up Be Brave t-shirt an walking to the ropes and tossing them in the direction of Jonathon Knots.

Max goes to the corner and starts talking to Jack and Ms. Budde, who's on the apron while Savali is on the outside.

 

Sharper: “Max Kane meanwhile will be unlike anyone Kennedy Street has faced. He’s a bit of a mad man.”

 

Knots: “That’s why I’m worried. He doesn’t care about his body. He doesn’t care about anyone else either!”

 

Sharper: “Except maybe those at ringside, the Network. All here. No Dante McCaffery though. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.”

 

The bell sounds and Kennedy looks at Max Kane who just smirks at Kennedy. Kennedy just glares at him watching him. Budde goes to hop onto the apron and Kennedy lunges at her. Kane runs into the ropes behind Kennedy and bounces off them before running at Kennedy, but Kennedy turns and lifts him up, pulling down the top rope and sending Kane up and over the top rope to the floor. Kennedy then turns and jumps to the middle turnbuckle and dives over the top rope and onto Kane as the crowd cheers. She rolls over. The referee tells Budde to get back and Kennedy rolls over wincing a bit and looking at Budde. Kane stirs and rolls in the opposite way and Kennedy turns and grabs him. (1) She drags him up and rolls him into the ring. Kennedy rolls in after. Max stumbles up to his feet and turns to Kennedy who hits a dropkick, knocking him down.

 

Sharper: “Nice dropkick as Kennedy gives Kane a bit of his own medicine.”

 

Knots: “Going high risk herself. And that just causes me pause because she’s taking a chance she doesn’t need to!”

 

Sharper: “Or she’s trying to focus on this match, on the win. On what she controls.”

 

Kane starts to get up and Kennedy elbows him in the back of the head and then again before running into the ropes and bouncing off and Kane lunges with a shoulder block. The crowd ohs and boos. Kennedy rolls over and starts to get up and Kane turns and nails her with a hard right and then pushes her into the ropes. She is fired off and bounces off the other side and Kane nails her with a hard clothesline. He steps the ropes, bounces off them and Kennedy starts to get up and Kane drills her with a vicious headbutt. Kennedy hits the mat. Kane goes for the pin.

Kennedy kicks out. She turns and starts to get up and Kane elbows her in the back of the head and she moves to the corner. Kane walks over and elbows her in the jaw.

 

Sharper: “Kane all over Kennedy and the problem with him is you don’t know where he’s going to come from.”

 

Knots: “Hard to read and that’s why he’s so dangerous.”

 

Sharper: “Saw him last week nearly take himself out attacking Sammy Thomas Davies.”

 

Knots: “He’s nuts.”

 

Kane whips Kennedy across the ring and Kane runs after and her and Kennedy gets a boot up. She pulls herself to the middle turnbuckle and dives off with a flying clothesline. She goes for the pin.

He rolls over and starts to get up and Kennedy runs into the ropes behind him and bounces off before hitting the Silver Spoon. Kane rolls over and holds his face. Kennedy gets up, waiting.

 

Sharper: “Silver Spoon! Kane driven face first into the mat!”

Budde heads to the official. Kennedy rolls to the floor, backing up.

 

Phillips: “The referee has elected to stop this match due to Kane’s fall and therefore, the winner of this match is Kennedy Street!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Knots: “He’s nuts. He just hurt himself more!”

 

Sharper: “This is becoming a staggering common trend for him. Took a huge risk. He was looking to take Kennedy out and really, depending on what awaits her, that would be a huge feather in his cap.”

 

Knots: “Thank God he missed. And Kennedy picks up a win thanks to that!”

 

Kennedy looks around at the floor as Budde yells at the official. Kane tries to pull himself up, chuckling as Savali stands in the ring, looking at Kennedy as the scene cuts away.

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Giovanni Aries vs. Alistaire Allocco.

 

Sharper: “When we return, a big match here. Ace Marshall’s student, if you will, Alistaire Allocco will go one on one with Giovanni Aries next here on Breakdown!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Giovanni Aries vs. Alistaire Allocco

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco out here with Ace Marshall or Cassidy Carter. He demanded they stayed back. They were happy to oblige.”

 

Knots: “That’s fine. Less Ace and Cassidy in my life is a good thing. Although, Alistaire may need all of the help with Giovanni Aries who probably is looking for blood!”

 

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez begins to play as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of stage. He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before Sam walks over and pulls out a cigarette and lighter out of her cleavage and hands it to Giovanni Aries. He lights the cigarette and takes a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Sam, from the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, he is Giovanni Aries!”

 

While walking to the ring he takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Giovanni Aries reaches ring side and looks out to the crowd and yells

"FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!!!"

He laughs hysterically before walking up the steps to the ring apron. He faces the crowd and hard camera as he throws his arms out making a cross while looking to the sky and slowly moves his left hand to his mouth takes a drag of his cigarette and blowing smoke into the air before flipping backwards into the ring where Sam is waiting. She takes off Giovanni fur jacket as Giovanni Aries grabs her and pulls her tight and proceeds to take another drag before blowing it into her waiting open mouth. Sam smiles as she exits the ring while Giovanni takes a seat on the nearby top turnbuckle and waits for the match to start.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries just watching Alistaire Allocco.”

 

Knots: “Well there’s no love lost here. They’ve faced before too.”

 

Sharper: “Draw in that match in December. Alistaire’s the Rookie of the Year for 2017. Giovanni Aries the Star of Tomorrow for the year. And with no Ace and Cassidy here, we’ll see how this goes.”

 

Knots: “Well Ace says he made Alistaire a champion. Alistaire, meanwhile, I think is better than that. He’s a doorknob, and should knock Ace’s block off, but he’s better than Ace taking credit for him!”

 

The bell sounds. Giovanni then immediately jumps down off the top rope and runs over to Alistaire Allocco and blasts him with a hard right. Alistaire falls back and into the corner. Giovanni Aries then follows through and kicks him in the ribs before kicking him over and over and over again in the corner. The referee calls for the break. The crowd cheers. Giovanni kicks at him over and over as Alistaire covers up, waving at the official to get him back.

He slowly pulls himself up, falling to a knee before pulling him back up and Giovanni Aries runs back at him and nails him with a running European uppercut as Alistaire goes up and over the top rope to the floor and landing hard, rolling over into the barricade.

 

Sharper: “Big shot! Giovanni Aries takes Alistaire down to the floor!”

 

Knots: “Okay. Give him a chance to get up. He’s a classical wrestler. Have Giovanni Aries get on all fours and start the match again.”

 

Sharper: “Stop it. He’s getting however an eye-opening as Giovanni Aries is looking to make Alistaire an example to Ace Marshall who he will face at Retribution!”

 

Alistaire stirs, wincing. (1) Giovanni Aries then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. (1) He then grabs Alistaire and elbows him in the spine. Alistaire winces and turns. (2) Giovanni kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a hard right. (3) He then grabs Alistaire and goes to drive him into the apron, but Alistaire elbows him in the ribs. (4) He then turns and hits a side belly to belly suplex on the mats. The crowd ohs. (5) Giovanni rolls over in pain and Alistaire pulls him up and then rolls him into the ring. He then slides in before shaking his head. He then gets up and backs up to the corner and points to him, telling the referee to let him get up. The crowd boos as Alistaire keeps an eye on Giovanni. Giovanni Aries slowly stirs and gets up. He gets to his feet.

 

Knots: “The hell are you doing?”

 

Sharper: “I guess he feels that suplex on the floor was unnecessary. He’s giving him a chance to get up.”

 

Knots: “Moron!”

 

Sharper: “Or arrogance feeling he can still beat him.”

 

Giovanni turns and Alistaire steps forward to check on him but Giovanni turns and nails him with a hard right. The crowd erupts in cheers and Giovanni hits a headbutts before pulling him out and whipping him across and into the opposite corner. Giovanni runs after and nails him with a running dropkick. The crowd ohs. Alistaire falls to the mat. Giovanni goes for the pin.

He rolls over and gets up and Alistaire spins through and hits a hip toss. He then jumps up and hits a knee drop before rolling through. Giovanni turns and starts to get up and Alistaire grabs him and wrenches the arm and nails him with a hard right then another. He then pulls him in and hoists him up and hits a backbreaker.

 

Sharper: “Alistaire keeping hold and then dropping him with the backbreaker.”

 

Knots: “That’s what he needs to do. Hold on, kick his ass and don’t let him start to get crazy or whatever the hell in there. Keep the Wonderland down!”

 

Sharper: “Or maybe go for the pin!”

 

Alistaire goes for the pin.

Alistaire pushes him off. He then turns and slowly stirs. Aries grabs him and pulls him up and turns and runs him into the corner. He then nails him with a back chop and then a kick before headbutting Alistaire. Alistaire is jarred and Aries then lifts his left leg and places it on the middle rope. He lifts the right leg and does the same and Alistaire starts to shake his head. Giovanni Aries just cackles in his face and looks at him. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute…”

 

Knots: “Wait a minute?! He’s going to actually see if Alistaire Allocco is a man!”

 

Sharper: “This is a sure-fire disqualification and the unpredictability of Giovanni Aries coming out here!”

 

Giovanni Aries then backs up and looks around before turning and running at Alistaire, but the official get in between Giovanni and Alistaire. The crowd boos. Giovanni then turns and starts to walk the referee away from the corner. Sam then climbs up onto the apron and pulls out a cigarette and the lighter from her bra and holds it up. The referee backs up and Alistaire gets free. He then steps forward and Giovanni turns, seeing this, and goes for hard right, but Alistaire blocks it and pulls him in and then hits an overhead belly to belly suplex into the corner. The crowd ohs. Giovanni rolls over. Alistaire starts to pull him up before then hooking him up and hitting a German suplex with a bridge.

Aries kicks out. He rolls over and onto his back. Alistaire turns and hooks his legs and starts to pull them up, going for the Glorious Revolution.

 

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco now going for the Glorious Revolution, trying to get Giovanni to turn over!”

 

Knots: “He’s fighting it though!”

 

Allocco keeps trying to get him over as Aries keeps fight, gritting his teeth before then rolling back to his back and then pulls his legs in and shoves Alistiare back. Aries gets up and Alistaire runs at him and Aries takes him down with a double leg takedown and then hoists his legs up. He then starts to spin him around and starts to spin him around in the Peyote Experience. He spins him around a few times as the crowd cheers and Aries backs up a bit and staggers around before getting his footing but suddenly hits the referee, who is trying to get into a better position, causing Alistaire’s body to collide with him and the referee goes down hard. Giovanni lets go as the crowd ohs and Alistaire rolls over and to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Oh no! The referee trying to figure out where would be safe and Giovanni Aries kept moving and eventually hit him.”

 

Knots: “And Allocco has a chance to recover!”

 

Giovanni Aries smirks and turns and goes over to the corner. He exits to the apron and Alistaire Allocco starts to pull himself up. Giovanni Aries climbs up to the top rope. He then looks at Alistaire as he gets up and Giovanni jumps up and goes for the Through the Rabbit Hole. Allocco backs out of the way. Giovanni hits the mat and rolls through. He then gets up and runs at Alistaire Allocco who grabs him and hits an overhead exploder suplex. He holds on and rolls over. The crowd roars. The referee starts to get up and Allocco pulls Giovanni to his feet as the crowd boos before hitting another overhead exploder suplex. He holds on, but the crowd erupts in cheers as we see Jason Helms running down from the back. He slides in and gets up, nailing Alistaire in the back of the head. Alistaire falls over. Giovanni falls over too. Jason then moves in and stomps Allocco in the chest and then again and again and again. The bell sounds as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Jason Helms coming out! Attacking Alistaire Allocco! Wasn’t here last week.”

 

Knots: “He’s heard what Alistaire has said and Jason Helms doesn’t care. He’s making a statement!”

 

Phillips: “The winner of this match, via disqualification, Alistaire Allocco!”

 

Helms ignores the official announcement as he stomps away on Alistaire a couple more times before Alistaire covers up and rolls right out of the ring and falls to the floor. Jason Helms then backs up and looks at him before snapping at him to tell Ace to look out for him too. The crowd roars. Alistaire winces and walks around the ring as Jason backs up and Giovanni Aries spins him around. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “And look at this! Jason Helms! Giovanni Aries! And they’ve never really been on the same page.”

 

Knots: “They may be here!”

 

Alistaire backs away, looking in the ring. He points to Jason, saying he attacked him from behind. The crowd nearby boos Alistaire as Jason and Giovanni Aries continue to look at one another. We cut back from a monitor showing Giovanni Aries and Jason Helms just staring each other down. We then pan back to see Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk in Toronto.

Winters: “That’s a staredown I didn’t think would be as peaceful as it is.”

 

Spirit: “Jason Helms and Giovanni Aries have been enemies as of late. Jason Helms with Leviticus who was attacked last week and also the Lizard Club t-shirt. His mocking of him. But they have a joint enemy in Ace Marshall.”

 

Winters: “My friend Ace just loves pissing people off. And Alistaire Allocco getting caught there, but Allocco also saying he’d take care of Jason Helms. Helms coming to go after him.”

 

Spirit: “We’ll have to take a look if there’s any further interaction between those two tonight. But next, when we return, Jessica Winters will speak with our boss about what he’s thinking involving Syren, and potential opponents in the near future. Don’t go anywhere!”

 

“Immortals” starts to play as the camera starts to pan back as the lights dim.

 

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown…”

 

We then see a shot of Dylan Howell vs. Andrew Raynes in a steel cage.

 

Voice: “Dylan Howell and Andrew Raynes couldn’t keep their hands off each other last week. Tonight, they meet in a steel cage!”

 

We see a shot Selena Frost vs. Bree Mason.

 

Voice: “And, Selena Frost, the Snow Queen, faces off against the Classy One herself, Bree Mason in our main event. All this and more on Breakdown!”

 

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

COMMERCIALS

We return to see a shot of the outside of the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

 

Spirit: “We are live from Cleveland, Ohio here tonight for Breakdown. Plenty to come here tonight. Selena Frost still to face Bree Lancaster and much, much more.”

 

We then cut to the inside of the studios to see Shawn Winters and Spirit Dansby at the desk.

 

Spirit: “Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters and we are here live in Toronto. And in a moment, we’re going to go back to Cleveland where Jessica Winters is standing by with our boss, but Shawn ,what has caught your eye tonight so far?”

 

Winters: “Well I just noted what happened with Giovanni Aries and Jason Helms. That could be interesting for Ace Marshall, Alistaire Allocco, maybe Beard, Cassidy Carter. But along with that, how about the dominance by Har Megiddo earlier. That, that’s just scary.”

 

Spirit: “And we can tell you that both of their opponents, they are conscious. We hope we hear more. We have been told that both have been sent to the hospital for observation.”

 

Winters: “We’ve already seen them take out Adrenaline Rush. They’re on the injured reserve. Konrad Raab calling them out. Checking on those kids. This may be a fight he doesn’t want, especially when in a few days, he’ll be in the Trios Tournament. He wants to win that. He doesn’t want a pissed off Damian Angel.”

 

Spirit: “Speaking of things that may anger some, the boss is standing by with Jessica Winters and depending on what he says, we could have an interesting second half from Cleveland. So, backstage, to Jessica Winters!”

 

We cut to see Jessica Winters standing with Mr. D backstage outside of his office.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Spirit. Mr. D, I asked you bluntly last week why you hadn’t made more of a decision regarding potential challengers for the World Championship or potential match ups against Syren. And you mentioned, you wanted to get it right. Now, a week later, you’ve asked for some time here, have you made a decision?”

 

Mr. D: “I have. And I realize that some people have been critical of my decision making. But at the end of the day, as I said, in previous situation, with the information I had, I would have made the same decisions. The results of those decision, if anything, that’s where the consequences effect how I move forward and make future decisions.”

 

Jessica: “That’s quite fair.”

 

Mr. D: “I’ve already announced that Jake Starr will get his rematch. He was one individual directly affected by Dark Fantasy’s plan. He will get an opportunity to rectify it. And to ensure that we don’t have a repeat, I am banning Ravyn Taylor and CHBK from ringside for that match next week.”

 

Jessica: “Syren will have to beat Jake Starr straight up.”

 

Mr. D: “Exactly.”

 

Jessica: “What about the other individual in that World Championship match, Bree Mason?”

 

Mr. D: “Despite her attitude and the fact that there are other circumstantial issues regarding her conduct and the conduct of her manager that make me concerned, the fact is that she has a legitimate claim to a rematch. So I am not going to deny it. Instead, at Retribution, she will challenge for the World Championship and get her rematch. But with one addition – she, too, is banned from ringside next week, as is Blake Mason or Scott Burnside. I am not going to stand here and allow her or her allies dictate who she faces.”

 

Jessica: “She’s sure to be pleased at least about the World Championship opportunity. But, there remains one other individual who we should discuss…Kennedy Street, the target of this multiple month plan that nearly damaged her character.”

 

Mr. D: “She has every right to revenge against Syren. And Ravyn. And CHBK. But I’m going to start with the person who benefitted the most…and Kennedy Street I think also deserves a shot at Syren. So at Retribution, she will face Syren in singles action. And IF Syren is still the World Champion…Bree Lancaster will be added to that match.”

 

Jessica looks a bit surprised.

 

Mr. D: “And again…if Kennedy Street interferes…if Amy Chastaine interferes…the same rules. They lose their opportunity at revenge.”

 

Jessica: “Huge decisions and definitely fair.”

 

Mr. D: “A lot of people deserve some measure of revenge. Syren may be World Champion and Ravyn Taylor and CHBK can be standing behind her, laughing. Now they deal with some of the consequences.”

 

Jessica: “I’m sure we’ll hear some of the response later tonight. Let’s go back to Toronto for the response from there. Spirit, Shawn?”

 

We cut back to the studio to see Spirit Dansby looking at the camera.

 

Spirit: “A significant decision being made. I can completely agree with some of those. I mean, Bree Lancaster certainly deserves the opportunity. But Kennedy Street, she could end up with a title shot too.”

 

Winters: “You disagree? No one is more motivated than the pissed off and Kennedy is a former World Champion. Yes, a few hoops need to be jumped through – Syren needs to get past Jake Starr. If not, she has to face Kennedy Street solo and that would be crazy. But hey…”

 

Spirit: “Well I’m just thinking, she’s benefitting now from the situation when there are some other individuals who I think may take issue?”

 

Winters: “Sienna? What about Selena who didn’t beat her, but Sienna didn’t beat her either…”

 

Spirit: “Just shows the competition here in SCW.”

 

Spirit turns to the camera.

 

Spirit: “And speaking of competition, don’t forget to join us this Sunday, Trios Tournament 2018. Eight randomly drawn teams and we could see some interesting results.”

 

Winters: “Are they going to implode? Are they going to work together? All for contracts for one match, whatever match you want, over the next calendar year?”

 

Spirit: “Saw Gable Winchester use his for Learning from History to win the Adrenaline Championship; Ace Marshall changed the Open Invitational and Jake Starr…we all remember the Chamber Challenge where Jake Starr reasserted himself at the top.”

 

Winters: “Three people are going to get that opportunity again! This Sunday…but tonight, still plenty to happen tonight still. Including Selena Frost facing, now, the number one contender to the SCW World Championship, Bree Lancaster. For the second consecutive month, I’ll add.”

 

Spirit: “And a huge steel cage match still coming and –“

We then see Bree Mason and Blake Mason walking down to the ring on the monitor behind them. We cut to that shot.

 

Spirit: “Bree Mason and Blake Mason…they’re headed to the ring. Adam, Jon…you’re there…”

 

Sharper: “We are Spirit. No music. No fanfare.”

 

Knots: “Someone’s getting fired for that. Their music should be on standby always. Only classy.”

 

Sharper: “They’re coming to the ring, quite annoyed.”

 

Bree walks over to the ring and storms up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron and enters into the ring. Blake Mason follows, entering in after and Bree storms over to Jason Phillips who is in the ring. She snaps at him to give her the microphone. He does and Bree takes it.

 

Bree: “That’s the solution?!”

 

Bree looks around. Blake just glares at the crowd as the crowd boos.

 

Bree: “No…that’s the solution? There was only ONE correct decision. Bree Mason challenges whoever is the World Champion at Retribution in a one on one match. You may have talked about consequences, but let’s go to the fact that Syren never should have been in that match and you REFUSE to admit that!”

 

Bree looks around.

 

Bree: “Now I have to potentially share my World Championship coronation by facing YET AGAIN a situation where I can’t get beaten again, because we all know Syren nor Kennedy Street nor Jake Starr could deal with me…And let’s face it…Kennedy Street is getting this title shot because she has a lot of enemies and SCW and her are both stupid enough to be caught by this ruse! Give her her revenge…fine…give me a separate match with Syren. Kennedy Street may have been a former World Champion, but for her to get this…when she’s not earned it like I have…no…just no! She doesn’t deserve to stand here in this ring with me-“

 

We then see Kennedy Street storming down to the ring, wearing a t-shirt and tights, having gotten showered and changed after her match earlier. She runs down to the ring and slides into the ring. She then gets up.

 

Knots: “Oh boy! You’re going to have to deal with one pissed off Sexy, Flawless Diva Bree!”

 

Sharper: “And look at Bree, getting right into her face.”

 

Kennedy steps forward as Bree steps forward.

 

Bree: “Yeah…I said it. I’ve surpassed you and you can take your redemption tour and revenge tour and take a back seat to the inevitability that is MY time on top.”

 

Kennedy turns away.

 

Bree: “See, with me…there’s no baggage. We all know that I am exactly what I say I am. No one doubts me.”

 

Kennedy scoffs before turning and then nailing Bree with a hard forearm. The crowd erupts in cheers. Bree falls to the mat. She rolls over and Kennedy stomps her, but Blake nails her from the side with a forearm shot. Kennedy falls over and rolls over. Blake then grabs her by the hair. She pulls her up.

 

Knots: “Get your hands off of her!”

 

Sharper: “Blake Mason holding Kennedy. I think he’s making sure he doesn’t get too involved. He’s holding her for Bree! Kennedy took the first shot!”

 

Bree starts to pull herself up as the crowd roars, while booing. Blake just shakes his head. He turns to Bree as Kennedy holds her jaw and her lip before we see Amy Chastaine running down from the back.

 

Sharper: “And here comes Amy! Blake Mason defending his wife. Remember, they all used to be friends!”

 

Knots: “Not anymore!”

 

Chastiane runs down and slides into the ring. Blake then turns and throws Kennedy into Amy. Amy catches her and stops her as Kennedy turns and walks over to the ropes. Bree rolls out of the ring. Kennedy and Amy stand back to back as Bree and Blake circle the ring and head over to the rampway. Bree just looks at Kennedy as Kennedy and Amy turn and watch Blake. Blake then pulls Bree away as Kennedy looks at Bree as Amy watches Blake.

 

Sharper: “And this situation as tense as its been! All over revenge and possibly the World Championship.”

 

Knots: “All over Syren too! And I’m sure they love that!”

 

Bree and Blake storm to the back as Kennedy and Amy remain in the ring and we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We return to Breakdown to see Kennedy Street pacing backstage as Amy Chastaine turns to the camera by them as Wyatt Lancaster stands with her.

 

Amy: “So that’s how it’s going to be? Some manager, getting involved, assaulting Kennedy, just because she went after Bree. Bree’s a strong woman. She can take care of herself. And now you’re going to take cheap shots because you can. SCW needs to do something about this. I don’t care what, but Blake, you’re just making it clearer and clearer that I won’t rest until I get you in that ring. I don’t care how. I don’t care what I need to do or who I need to talk to, but it’s going to happen and you’re going to pay for this!”

 

Wyatt: “Okay…okay…”

 

Kennedy paces a bit too as Amy turns away, taking a deep breath and we cut back to the ring.

Dylan Howell vs. Andrew Raynes

Steel Cage Match

 

We cut to the ring to see the steel cage set up around the ring. We cut to see different sides of it as the spotlights focus on it.

 

Sharper: “This is going to be a very volatile situation. Andrew Raynes tries to take Dylan Howell out last week. Tonight, he has to deal with him in a steel cage.”

 

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes appear through the smoke, his head shifted towards the ring, focused, a cold stare. He stands there for a few seconds still looking around, devoid of the fans. He starts walking slowly with a cold stare in his eyes.

Phillips: “The following contest is a steel cage match with a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Niagara Falls, Ontario, he is Andrew Raynes!”

As he continues to look focused, he makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the fans. He walks down towards the ring where he walks over to the door and walks up the steel steps. He steps into the cage before going over to the middle of the ring and looking around. He looks over at the cage with a cold stare, sizing them up before the match even starts.

 

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes, he’s been showing he’s certainly not the young man I met years ago that came in, teaming with Amy Chastaine.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. He found an attitude and he wants what’s his. He hates Dylan Howell. He hates Giovanni Aries. He hates these people in his way to the Adrenaline Championship!”

 

“Adrenaline” by Gavin Rossdale begins and Dylan Howell appears on the entrance stage, arms overhead and a smile on his face. The crowd cheers as he makes his way towards the ring.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Malibu Beach, California, he is Dylan Howell!”

 

He looks down at the cage and stops and looks around before then starting to walk down to the ring. He gets over to the ring and walks around the cage. He then goes to the entrance. He walks up the steel steps. He then looks into the ring. He then walks into the cage and steps through the ropes and Andrew Raynes runs at him and goes for a hard right, but Dylan blocks it and nails him with a hard right. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “And here we go. Andrew Raynes going right for Dylan Howell. Howell saw it coming!”

 

Knots: “And remember that Andrew told Regan Street that he’d make sure she could get her brother back. They’ve become friends even as of late. Regan’s loved his style!”

 

The bell sounds. Dylan nails him with a hard right and then kicks him in the ribs. He then pushes him back into the corner. Dylan nails him with a shoulder block and then another before getting up and nailing him with a forearm shot. He then grabs him and whips him across the ring. Raynes stops at the corner and Dylan runs after and Raynes gets an elbow up. He then turns and runs out and grabs Dylan and throws him back with a mat slam. He then walks around the ring as the crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Hard slam and let’s not forget. This match ends by pinfall or submission. No escape. Nothing like that.”

 

Knots: “You get it done in the ring.”

 

Dylan rolls over and starts to get up and Raynes kicks him in the ribs. He then grabs him in a side headlock and nails him with a hard right. Dylan falls to a knee. Raynes backs up into the ropes and bounces off and hits a running dropkick. Dylan rolls over and falls to the mat. Ranyes goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Dylan kicks out. He turns and rolls over. Raynes gets up and grabs him by the head and starts to drag him up, pulling him over to the ropes. He tries to push him into the steel as the crowd roars and Dylan elbows Raynes in the ribs. He elbows him again. Raynes staggers back. Dylan gets up and Raynes turns around and Dylan hits a dropkick, knocking him down.

 

Sharper: “Raynes trying to drag Dylan into the steel. Looking to use the cage as a weapon. Stopped by Howell though.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and then caught by that dropkick.”

 

Raynes rolls over and starts to get up. Dylan Howell pulls himself up. Raynes gets up and Howell chops him. The crowd woos. He chops him again. More woos. He then whips him into the ropes. The cage shakes from the impact and Howell hits a spinebuster. He rolls through into a pin.

Raynes pushes him off. He turns and starts to get up and Howell pulls himself up. Raynes starts to get up and Howell kicks him in the ribs. He then hits a vertical suplex. He turns and goes to the corner. He then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. He then looks around as he turns around to look at Raynes. He then starts to walk along the top rope, holding onto the steel cage for balance before turning back to Raynes, but Raynes runs over and falls into the ropes. Howell lands hard crotch first on the top rope. The crowd ohs.

 

Knots: “Oh no…the baby Howells are down. No KABLAMa Sutra usage for him!”

 

Sharper: “Howell took too long. Raynes taking advantage, putting him in a bad way.”

 

Raynes then looks at Howells before running across the ring. He bounces off and runs across the ring and jumps up with a running boot to Howell’s head. Howell hits the cage and falls down, his leg caught in the top and middle rope before hitting the mat. The crowd boos as Raynes walks around the ring. He smiles. He then turns to Howell and hits a shoot kick to the chest of Howell. He then hits another and another. Howell tries to cover up, while his leg is caught in the ropes. He then kicks him in the side of the head. The crowd ohs. He kicks him again. He then turns and kicks him in the side of the back and then again as Howell turns, largely out of instinct. He keeps trying to cover up.

 

Sharper: “Howell is trapped! He’s trapped! He has to get out!”

 

Knots: “The referee is trying, but Raynes is just teeing off!”

 

The referee keeps trying to get Howell’s leg free, before Raynes steps forward and stops him. He then turns and kicks Howell in the chest again and then again and again and again. He keeps snapping at the official before Raynes kicks Howell in the face. The crowd ohs. Howell goes limp and Raynes kicks him again in the head and then again before the referee calls for the bell. He dives on top of Raynes. Raynes just smiles and turns back to the middle of the ring.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has chosen to stop this match for the health of one of the competitors. Here is your winner, Andrew Raynes!”

 

Sharper: “The referee with no choice. Howell was trapped and he may be unconscious.”

 

Knots: “We already sent those kids out with Har Megiddo. Andrew Raynes wants people to notice him!”

 

Raynes looks around and the referee gets up and manages to get Howell’s leg out and Howell falls to the mat. The door opens and we then see officials entering the cage and Raynes looks at the door. He then steps over and pushes one official out of the way before walking over and grabbing Howell and pulling him up. He then drags him over and throw him into the ropes by the corner. One official stops him and Raynes shoves him back before turning and reaching out and grabbing the door and pulling the door in and violently closing it on Howell’s head. The crowd ohs and Howell just falls back, unconscious on the mat.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! My God! The cage door on Howell’s head. The hell is wrong with you?!”

 

Knots: “He doesn’t like Howell and if that doesn’t jog something. Nothing will!”

 

The crowd boos loudly. Raynes looks around as he smirks. Officials check on Howell and we then see Gable Winchester running down from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers as Gable runs down. He looks at Raynes from the floor.

 

Sharper: “Gable Winchester out here and Raynes has a problem with him. He shoved him off the ladder after he had won the Adrenaline Championship at Learning from History.”

 

Knots: “And he’s had enough of this assault! Raynes is waiting for him!”

 

A few officials who had not yet entered stop him from going to the door. Raynes backs up and smirks as officials check on Howell. We then see senior agent Dean Black out on the floor, motioning to someone by the stage to raise the cage. Gable keeps looking at the ring as Raynes keeps watching him and we then see some crewmembers doing something to the ring before the cage starts to raise. The crowd roars. Gable then slides into the ring and Raynes backs up as officials then get up into the ring, stopping Gable from getting to Raynes. Raynes drops down to the floor. We then see Dylan Howell still down as officials check on him as the crowd boos. Raynes starts to walk around the ring.  Gable keeps getting held back as the boos continue to come from the crowd and we cut away.

We open up to see Sienna Swann walking forward, seemingly down the street. Ikiro Yoshida walks a few feet behind.

 

Ikiro: “Hold…hand?”

 

Sienna rolls her eyes.

 

Sienna: “No.”

 

Ikiro: “Oh…”

 

Ikiro keeps walking with Sienna as they walk down the hallway.

 

Ikiro: “Good…sushi place up here….”

 

Sienna: “Not interested.”

 

Ikiro: “I promise….”

 

Tanahashi’s phone goes off and Ikiro glances back as Sienna keeps walking forward before Ikiro takes off his coat and steps forward, going to place it on her before Sienna shrugs it off and turns.

 

Sienna: “I said no…”

 

Ikiro: “Coat….cold..”

 

Sienna sighs She then pauses.

 

Sienna: “Fine. Sorry. That’s….kind.”

 

Ikiro smiles a bit before grabbing his coat and holding it up again. Sienna rolls her eyes and nods and Ikiro places it over her. Sienna turns away, smirking a bit, not letting Ikiro pick that up before Ikiro smiles and continues to walk forward. Tanahashi then runs forward and goes to Ikiro before whispering something in his ear. Ikiro looks up. He says something in Japanese back to Tanahashi before Ikiro turns.

 

Ikiro: “Sorry….have to go.”

 

Ikiro then turns and waves down a cab. Tanahashi turns to Sienna as Sienna turns to him.

 

Sienna: “Wait? What? You’re on a date with me. There’s nothing more important than that?!”

 

Tanahashi: “He is very sorry. We got a troubling phone call. Friend is hurt.”

 

Sienna: “What? He’ll be fine later! You’re not getting a second shot….”

 

A cab stops. Ikiro opens the door. He turns to Sienna.

 

Ikiro: “You are beautiful lady.”

 

Ikiro steps in and Tanahashi nods and then steps in. Sienna then stands next to the cab.

 

Ikiro: “Getting in?”

 

Sienna: “No. We’re on a date! You don’t ditch me?!”

 

Ikiro: “Sorry…friend.”

 

Tanahashi: “He is very sorry.”

 

The door closes and the cab drives off. Sienna just looks stunned before letting out an annoyed sigh.

 

Sienna: “Are you serious? Did I just get ditched by him? For some friend? Are you kidding me?”

 

Sienna looks around, still stunned as we then cut away.

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Billy Breakdown

SCW Television Championship

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is your Television Championship Eliminator with a fifteen minute time limit.”

All of a sudden, the lights go out prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. When the lyrics kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations. When the song hits the chorus, pyros suddenly erupt off on the stage in sync with the creative soul himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers. The lights start to come back on Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, happily accepting high fives from the fans with a smile. As he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in the same raised and outstretched pose as before, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead.

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome our first participant in this match, hailing from Seattle, Washington, he stands in at 5 feet 10 inches and 175 pounds, he is AARON BLACKBOURNE!!!

The crowd again erupts into a positive reaction upon the announcement of Aaron Blackbourne.

Sharper: A very confident, and well-liked, wrestler in Aaron Blackbourne.

Knots: Nothing wrong with being confident but you have to be able to back up that confidence with your wrestling abilities.

“Something for You” by David Rolfe hits and Billy Breakdown emerges from the backstage area and he walks out across the landing of the entrance area. He is wearing a black leather jacket along with his standard ring gear with black trunks that have the breakdown logo on the back. He is accompanied to the ring by the Beautiful Miss Misato whose hand he is holding. As the two walk to the ring he argues with the fans and this accomplishes getting the fans riled up and they give a rousing negative reaction to him. When the two arrive at ringside Miss Misato takes a seat in a folding metal chair while Billy climbs up the ring steps and ducks through the ropes into the ring. He walks around the ring to play up the crowd, again getting a negative reaction from them, before he settles into the corner opposite to Aaron Blackbourne.

Phillips: Here is our next competitor in this match, standing in at 6 feet even and 226 pounds, please give a warm welcome to BILLY BREAKDOWN!!!

The crowd again erupts into a loud negative reaction but Billy Breakdown doesn’t care what they think. The Referee is taking time to give pre-match information to the two wrestlers as we wait for the match to officially begin.

Sharper: It must feel awkward to walk into an arena for a wrestling match and have the majority of the crowd hate you. That must stay on your mind while you are wrestling.

Knots: Nah! Wrestlers know what they are doing and if they are not addicted to the attention of the fans then when they don’t support you it is okay as it doesn’t affect you at all.

Sharper: This should be an interesting match. Sizing up the wrestlers we see that Billy Breakdown has 2 inches of height on Aaron Blackbourne but the major difference is that he outweighs Aaron by 26 pounds. Not sure if this will be a factor in this match as Aaron Blackburn has been working on ways to counter larger opponents.

Knots: I will agree that Blackbourne has been working on his wrestling skills in relation to larger opponents but the question is whether he has perfected it yet. We will see how this match goes.

Both wrestlers are sent back to their corner to await the start of the match. The Timekeeper rings the bell and the Referee motions for Aaron and Billy to get into the action of the match. The two come out of their corners and lock up in the middle of the ring. They are maneuvering for the advantage and it is Billy Breakdown who manages to maneuver Aaron Blackbourne into a corner. The Referee is quick to call for a break. Although Billy Breakdown makes the break he also lands a punch to the side of the head of Aaron Blackbourne. As the Referee is issuing a warning against Breakdown for a punch on the break we see Blackbourne lash out with a forearm smash to the head of Breakdown. Billy tries to argue with the Referee that Aaron hit him on the break but the Referee indicates it was after the break and that a forearm smash is a legal blow. Billy Breakdown returns his attention to Aaron Blackbourne only to get hit with a knee to the midsection that doubles him over. We watch as Aaron leaps up on the second rope in the corner and he dives off the ropes over the top of Billy grabbing Breakdown around the waist on his way down. This causes Billy Breakdown to flip over backward with Aaron Blackbourne holding firmly to him. As the two flip to the mat it is Breakdown who has his shoulders on the mat with the legs of Blackbourne over his arms for a pin. The Referee drops down and begins a count on the pin attempt.

One...


Two...

It is only a two count before Billy Breakdown gets his shoulder up and manages to wriggle out of the hold Aaron Blackbourne had on him. Aaron is disappointed not getting the pin but he also realizes it is early in the match.

Sharper: That was a nice maneuver on the part of Aaron Blackbourne. It wasn’t wise for Billy Breakdown to take his attention off of Aaron to talk to the Referee even if it was only a split second.

Bill Breakdown is upset that Aaron Blackbourne managed to get that maneuver executed against him. He reaches out with his arms in a request for a test of strength. Blackbourne isn’t hurrying to get into this situation as he knows he is smaller in size and may be on the losing end of a test of strength. After teasing Aaron for a bit Blackbourne agrees and he locks up in the test of strength. He holds his own against Breakdown longer than we expected. Aaron releases the grasp from one of his hands and he spins and steps over the arm of Billy. He manages to get behind Breakdown and pull the arm back and up into a hammer lock. Billy Breakdown is maneuvering to get out of the hammer lock and he is dragging Aaron Blackbourne across the ring toward the ropes. Just before he reaches the ropes Breakdown stops and reaches back with a vicious elbow to the face of Blackbourne and this is enough to get Aaron to release the hold. Billy Breakdown lands a few knees to the midsection of Aaron Blackbourne and then he lifts him up and drops him hard into the mat with a one-winged angel maneuver. Aaron hits the mat hard and Billy leaps over and goes for the cover.

One...


Two...

Blackbourne gets a shoulder up at the two count. Breakdown cannot believe he didn’t get the pin.

Sharper: “I thought Billy Breakdown had the win there.”

Winters: “It was a great maneuver and I give credit to Aaron Blackbourne for keeping his whereabouts and situation in the ring in his mind to be able to get out of the pin.”

Bill Breakdown is fed up with the Referee and he gets into an argument with him accusing him of a slow count on the pin attempt. The Referee isn’t going to take lip from Breakdown and he tells him to get back into the action in the match or risk disqualification. Billy continues to argue his case to the Referee but his complaints fall short of getting the Referee to change his mind. Aaron Blackbourne is patiently waiting for Bill Breakdown to turn around from arguing with the Referee. When he does he is hit by a running Blackbourne with a dropkick. The hit carries enough force to send Billy Breakdown hard into a corner where he hits the corner and slumps into a seated position. Aaron runs to the opposite corner and then he takes off running full speed landing a double knee smash into Billy Breakdown’s face. Blackbourne rebounds backward to where he turns over and gets to his feet. Breakdown flops face first to the mat from the double knee smash. Aaron leaps on top of Billy and hooks the legs for the pin.

One...


Two...

Three...

The Referee calls for the bell to officially end this match and he orders Aaron Blackbourne to get off Billy Breakdown and he does so and waits off to the side for the official announcement from the ring announcer.

Sharper: “All I can say is wow! It takes a lot to stay focused in a match to where you can take advantage of your opponent and quickly pull of a win.”

Phillips: “Here is your winner of this match, by pinfall, and he has earned a shot at the Television Championship with this win, AARON BLACKBOURNE!!!”

Blackbourne gets his hand raised by the Referee for the victory and when the Referee drops his hand Aaron Blackbourne waves to the crowd as they give him a favorable reaction. He exits the ring and makes his way up the ramp to where he disappears into the backstage area. At the ring we see Billy Breakdown arguing with the Referee again. This time his complaint is that he was illegally hit by Blackbourne while on the ropes and that Aaron Blackbourne grabbed his trunks illegally to make the pin attempt. The Referee is ignoring Billy Breakdown except to point out to him the way to leave the ring before. Realizing he isn’t going to get far with his argument a disappointed Billy Breakdown leaves the ring, heads up the ramp, walks across the landing, and steps into the backstage area.

We open up backstage to see Giovanni Aries. He is squatting on a chair as he looks forward, his eyes not moving. The camera pans to show Sam next to him. The camera continues to pan before showing Jason Helms standing across from him.

 

Giovanni: “Tell me why I should not just unleashed Jules and permanently ban you from the Wonderland-“

 

Helms: “Look…you seem like an okay….alright, warped guy. I was having fun. Look, you’re talking about a Lizard King?!”

 

Giovanni: “He’s a serious problem around here.”

 

Helms: “Yeah….well, right now, we have the same enemy.”

 

Giovanni: “The Judas….”

 

Helms: “Exactly….Look, we got off to the wrong foot. I’m willing to say sorry….to make it easier for us to kick Ace Marshall and Alistaire Allocco’s ass. How does that sound?”

 

Giovanni: “That…I can accept that.”

 

Helms: “Then fine….”

 

Helms clears his throat.

 

Helms: “I’m sorry….”

 

Giovanni: “Thank you. Sam….check him.”

 

Sam then steps forward and spins Helms around and then promptly knees him viciously in the ass. Helms stumbles forward.

 

Helms: “Hey! What the hell?”

 

Sam: “He’s clean. No tail.”

 

Helms: “Well I could’ve told you that! Hell. I’d have just shown you if you were that paranoid. Jesus…”

 

Giovanni: “We can be allies….but if you turn on me….I will leave you in a puddle of your own blood.”

 

Giovanni chuckles darkly as Helms nods.

 

Helms: “Alright….before that though….you need to apologize for something to me…”

 

Giovanni: “Ah…this was all a trick. I know I was too trusting-“

 

Helms: “No no….Just…come with me…”

 

Helms backs up and opens the door. Giovanni hops down and looks at him.

 

Giovanni: “I promise you-“

 

Helms: “Yeah yeah…puddle of blood. Got it. Come on.”

 

They walk out of the door as we cut to commercial.

Breakdown returns as we see Jason Helms leading Giovanni Aries into a room and then Giovanni snarls. The camera turns as Sam enters and we see Leviticus seated in his office, wearing a neck brace and a suit.

 

Leviticus: “Oh Jesus…Oh God…”

 

Leviticus dives under his table.

 

Jason: “Levi…relax….”

 

Leviticus: “He tried to kill me last week!”

 

Giovanni: “I should have-“

 

Jason: “Now, now…if we’re going to work together, you need to trust me. I need to trust you….so you need to apologize to Levi.”

 

Leviticus peers over the desk.

 

Leviticus: “Wait…what?”

 

Giovanni Aries looks around and sees the piles of Lizard Club t-shirts.

 

Giovanni: “Those…”

 

Leviticus glances back.

 

Leviticus: “Oh God…misprints. Going to send them back. Yeah…that’s it-“

 

Jason: “We’ll deal with that in a moment. Gio….I apologized to you and let you check for a tail….”

 

Giovanni looks at Leviticus.

 

Giovanni: “Fine….I….I’m sorry for the thrashing I gave you.”

 

Leviticus: “Yeah…accepted…just don’t do it again.”

 

Leviticus looks around.

 

Sam: “Now the shirts-“

 

Jason: “I have an idea….Levi….we need some spray paint.”

 

Leviticus: “Oh…well we can use the official PUNK HAZARD memorial one year anniversary of their destruction Spray Paint set?”

 

Jason: “Uh…perfect.”

 

Jason turns to Gio.

 

Jason: “Let’s get to work.”

 

We cut back to the ring.

Katelyn Buehler vs. Beard

 

The arena lights go completely black. Lightning begins to streak around the entrance way, as "The Terminator" theme blares through the sound system. Smoke rises from the stage as the lightning slowly dies down. As the music continues and the smoke clears, a figure turning slowly rises to its feet in the smoke. The music then transitions into "Who Knew" by Lil' Dicky as Beard reveals himself, stepping out from the smoke, with the crowd erupting in cheers. Beard makes his way to the ring, taking some time out to lean into the crowd.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from New York City, New York, he is Beard!”

 

He then runs and slides into the ring under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring, Beard climbs to the top rope and strokes his beard before extending his arms out and doing a backflip off of the top rope, landing on his feet, and dropping to one knee as the music dies down.

 

Sharper: “Beard has a choice. He’s stated on twitter he won’t accept Cassidy Carter’s offer, but we’ll see. She’s told him that if he wants to get back on their good side, he needs to take out Katelyn Buehler.”

 

Knots: “Well he has beaten a former World Champion. Beat Alistaire Allocco a couple of weeks ago!”

 

The camera switches to the Cartel-tron, where images of Katelyn Buehler are shown, giving this crowd a chance to go crazy. The opening riffs of "My house by PVRIS" plays as Katelyn comes out onto the stage, wearing a black leather jacket

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, she is Katelyn Buehler!”

As the song continues, Katelyn starts walking down the ramp, huge smile across her face. She runs a hand through her raven-black hair before slapping a few hands of the jam-packed crowd.

Just before the chorus begins, she walks around to the one side of the ring and picks out a random fan. She leans in and kisses them on the cheek, which causes more adulation for the superstar. After the chorus finishes, Katelyn slides under the bottom rope, into the ring. She gets up to her knees, moving a few strands of hair from her face as she smiles out at the crowd. Katelyn leans back, still on her knees and lets out the most primal of screams a young lady like her can, giving the crowd more to cheer for. As the song winds down, Katelyn jumps to her feet and ascends the turnbuckle, where she leans forward and screams “This is my house!”, which brings bright smiles from Katelyn and huge pops from the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Katelyn Buehler making a rare wrestling appearance on Breakdown and this could be an interesting one.”

 

Knots: “So what’s it going to be? The easy shot for Beard is gone.”

 

The bell sounds. Katelyn and Beard circle around the ring and lunge at each other. Beard runs at Katelyn and Katelyn grabs him and pulls him back and into the mat and goes for the quick pin.

 

1!

 

Beard kicks out. Both get up and Beard goes for a clothesline, but Katelyn ducks. She stops and turns and Beard turns around and Katelyn hits a straight kick to the ribs. She then grabs him, nailing him with a hard forearm shot. She hits another shot and Beard falls to the ropes. Katelyn goes for the irish whip, but Beard spins through and sends Katelyn into the ropes. Katelyn bounces off and Beard hits a back elbow. Katelyn rolls over, holding her jaw as she starts to get up. Beard turns and walks over to her and then grabs her and pushes her into the corner.

 

Sharper: “Hard elbow. That jars Katelyn. Katelyn to the corner now.”

 

Knots: “Quickly there and Beard’s going to try and take advantage. Does he know how to do that?”

 

Beard grabs Katelyn and whips her across. Beard runs after and Katelyn jumps to the bottom rope and jumps up and floats over. Beard stops at the corner. He turns around and Katelyn hits a dropkick. Beard hits the corner. Katelyn then grabs him and hits a snapmare out of the corner and locks in a reverse chinlock. She pulls back and Beard starts to turn. He slowly pulls himself up and Katelyn holds on. Beard then elbows her in the ribs and then again before firing her off into the ropes. She bounces off and Beard goes for a back elbow again. Katelyn ducks and bounces off the other side and Beard scoops her up and then turns and hits a hard scoop slam. Katelyn starts to get up and Beard nails her with a forearm shot, knocking her back. He grabs her and whips her across the ring and into the opposite corner. Beard runs after and nails her with a running clothesline. Katelyn staggers forward and falls to the mat. Beard looks at her before looking around. He then exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. He looks around before going for a big splash, but Katelyn rolls out of the way. Beard hits the mat.

 

Sharper: “Beard misses. Katelyn out of the way.”

 

Beard slowly gets up and Katelyn pulls herself up and hits a shoot kick to the side of the head. Beard staggers to the ropes. He steps forward and Katelyn then lifts him up and hits an atomic drop. She hits a headbutt and Beard hits the mat. He rolls over and starts to get up and Katelyn grabs him and pulls him up and hits a running bulldog. She goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Beard kicks out. Katelyn gets up and Beard slowly stirs. He starts to pull himself up before Katelyn clubs him in the back and elbows him in the back of the head. She goes for a Russian leg sweep. Beard however blocks it and elbows her in the ribs and then again before then grabbing her and hitting an Olympic Slam. Beard rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Shades of Ace Marshall there with that rounding slam.”

 

Knots: “Maybe that’s the cue. Maybe that’s it. Maybe Beard is coming to them. If so, he’s an idiot, but then again, he never claimed to be smart.”

 

Sharper: “I’m pretty sure in the past he has.”

 

Knots: “He was wrong.”

 

Beard starts to get up. He then turs and hits an elbow drop. He gets up and hits another one. He goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Katelyn kicks out. She rolls over. She starts to get up and Beard pulls her up and pulls her in before hoisting her up and hitting a slingshot suplex. Katelyn hits the mat. Beard looks around. He then waits for her to get up. Katelyn rolls over and starts to get up and Beard then lifts her up from behind and starts to go for the Nyquil. The crowd roars, but Katelyn counters with a victory roll.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Beard kicks out. Both get up and Beard goes for a clothesline. Katelyn ducks and bounces off the ropes behind him and then spins through into the KTFO.

 

Sharper: “She got all of it. Connecting with Beard’s jaw!”

 

Knots: “Well Cassidy is going to be pissed off!”

 

Katelyn drops down and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

She rolls off.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Katelyn Buehler!”

 

Katelyn Buehler then gets up and has her arm raised. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Katelyn Buehler getting the victory tonight! Pinning Beard.”

 

Knots: “Guess Beard wasn’t going to try and just take her out. If that was the case, he failed miserably!”

 

Katelyn walks over to Beard and starts to pull him up as the crowd looks on. She starts to pull Beard up as the crowd boos. We then see Cassidy Carter running down from the back, holding a block-heeled Louboutin in her hand. She slides in and Katelyn turns only for Cassidy Carter to nail her in the head with the heel. The crowd ohs and Katelyn rolls over, holding her head in pain. Cassidy turns and drives the shoe into the back of Katelyn’s head. She then gets up and stomps her at her. She looks around as the crowd boos.

 

Knots: “That’s an expensive attack! Those are Louboutins! Trust me! I know!”

 

Sharper: “And assault Katelyn Buehler! No chance to defend herself!”

 

Beard starts to get up and looks over at Katelyn and then Cassidy before stumbling up and grabbing Cassidy. He spins her around and Cassidy turns and nails him above the left eye with the heel. The crowd ohs and Beard rolls over, yelling in pain, holding his eye. He turns, kicking at the mat. Cassidy looks at him before shaking his head. The official tells her to get back as the crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter attacking Katelyn and then the eye of Beard!”

 

Knots: “I think she got the eye! Beard is down!”

 

Cassidy looks around and smiles as the crowd boos. The official pulls her back as Beard and Katelyn writhe in pain and the scene slowly fades out.

COMMERCIALS

We return to Breakdown as we see Beard writhing in pain on the trainer’s table.

 

Beard: “My eye! My eye!”

 

Beard continues to writhe.

 

Trainer: “Would you stop moving? I need to check it!”

 

Beard: “My eye!”

 

Trainer: “I don’t even see any damage!”

 

Beard: “My eye!”

 

Beard turns around, kicking at the wall as we cut away.

 

Sharper: “Looks like Beard is…another casualty tonight.”

 

Knots: “Or isn’t…his eye is hurt. Did you hear the trainer? Maybe he’s just an idiot.”

 

Sharper: “Well he did get hit hard and a concussion may be possible too. But that clearly I guess puts him back on the side of Giovanni Aries?”

Bill Barnhart vs. Derek Adonis

 

Confident by Demi Lovato begins to play as the lights in the arena go dark. We watch as pink spotlights flash around the entrance area. After a short time we see “Bulldog” Bill Barnhart step out from the backstage area with his English Bulldog, Iris, strutting along beside him. Iris is wearing a pink diamond-studded dog collar and there is a pink leash attached to the collar and the leash trails behind her as she comes down the entrance ramp toward the ring. The fans don’t particularly care for Bill Barnhart and they let him know it with boos and taunts. Barnhart ignores them as he is here to wrestle and not cater to the fans. Even as the fans yell louder at him and throw trash at him he ignores them. When Barnhart arrives at the ringside area he bends down and grabs the leash of Iris and hands it to a ringside assistant who holds onto the leash and keeps Iris at ringside to watch Bill’s match. Barnhart gives Iris a kiss on the nose and then he climbs the ring steps to the ring apron. Bill then walks along the ring apron and when he reaches the middle of the ropes he ducks through the ropes into the ring. He walks around the ring playing the crowd but that only incites them to boo him more. Barnhart again ignores the rude fans as he backs into a corner to await the start of his match.

Knots: Now this is a guy that I just can’t understand why the people aren’t cheering for him! He got it all, he has the looks, the charisma and the ability to be the next Adrenaline champion!!

Sharper: The fans are booing him because he likes to take a short cut and demands things that he isn’t even deservingly to get!!

Knots: You just upset that you don’t have his goatee.

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

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

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

If you’re so inclined, you should check out the lyrics to the song that Adonis is entering to, because they really paint their own tapestry almost as well as the man himself is able to, stopping at various points on his walk down towards the ring to hit on some of the more attractive females in the area – without caring about the potential of boyfriends, husbands or security. He’ll take their hand, whisper sweet nothings to them (and, if you’ve seen girls at shows put in this kind of embarrassing situation, these do the same as all of them – and just laugh) and plant his lips ever so gently upon said hand before moving farther down the ramp.

As the chorus comes around, Adonis steps up the ramp, taking each step with added emphasis. He gets onto the apron and after winking at a particularly friendly female (probably the most receptive to advances of earlier), pulls himself through the ropes. He gyrates just a little bit in the ring as his music fades.

Knots: I’m going to be sick

Sharper: But the fans love him, just look at him!!

Knots: I rather wish I wouldn’t.

Derek gyrates some more, turning his back towards Bill as the Bulldog charges in on him from behind and clobbers him with several forearms to the back. Causing the fans to boo as the referee orders for the bell to be rang and the match to officially to start.

Sharper: Is this what you are talking about? Attacking someone from behind when introduced???

Knots: Oh shut it, we have seen enough flab gyrate for a year already!! I’m here to watch a match!

Sharper: Such class act you are.

Bill continues to pound away at Adonis, who now is being pushed into the corner of the ring. Bill drives his shoulders into the midsection of Adonis as he delivers a few shoulder tackles before kneeing him in the face. This causes Adonis to rest his upper body against the top rope as Bill climbs through the top and middle rope and grabs Adonis by the head before dropping to the concrete floor as this slingshots Adonis on his back hard in the middle of the ring. Bill slides back in the ring and delivers three elbows before covering Adonis.

One!
Two!

Adonis kicks out at the count of two, causing Bill to immediately grab him by the head before driving series of elbows into the forehead of Adonis before locking him in a chin lock as he puts all of the pressure on the neck of Adonis. The referee is checking on Adonis if he is able to continue as he is reaching for the ropes to cause a rope break, but he is inches away from them. Adonis is trying to get back to his feet, but when he gets to his knees it is Bill Barnhart that let’s go off the chin lock and bashes an elbow into the forehead of Adonis. This causes him to drop back to his knees as Bill pushes his head into the neck and shoulder area of Adonis before pulling back on his arms in a submission hold.

Sharper: Solid tactic from the more aggressive Bill Barnhart to keep Adonis down to the canvas and work on his neck and shoulder area.

Again it is Adonis that slowly tries to get back to his feet as he finally does, he manages to turn around the move from Bill Barnhart as he pushes him into the ropes. Bill comes off the ropes and walks into a shoulder block from Adonis. Adonis attempts to do the Macarena before going for a leg drop across the throat of Bill Barnhart and goes for the cover.

One!


Two!

Bill manages to get his shoulder off the canvas just in time before the referee could manage to count to three. Adonis drops a few elbows before pulling Bill up to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckles, where he licks his finger before placing it on his backside as if to say that he is on fire before pointing back towards Bill Barnhart.

Knots: You aren’t on fire!! You are have a cholesterol problem you idiot!!!

Sharper: He’s going for the Kablam!!!

Adonis charges in on Bill to execute his patented finisher move the Stinger’s splash, but Bill manages to roll out of the way at the final moment. Causing Adonis to hit sternum first into the turnbuckles and then staggers backwards whereas Bill follows it up with a running elbow to the forehead. This only causes Adonis to stagger a bit more, but remains on his feet. Bill looks around as he does so again and Adonis only takes a step backwards. Bill tells that he has had enough as he grabs the head of Adonis and holds him to set him up for a running Bulldog. But it is Adonis that throws him away from him at the moment that Bill jumps in the air to deliver the Bulldog. Bill gets thrown into the turnbuckles with his legs on both ends of the turnbuckle as Adonis sets himself up for another Kablam.

Knots: Oh no!! The Horror!! Bill!! Watch out!!

Adonis jumps towards Bill and hits the move as Bill falls down on his back and seemingly unconscious. We see Iris jump on the apron as Adonis covers Bill for the three count as in the mean time we see Bill’s foot as he puts it on the bottom rope as the referee just started to count

One!


Two!!

Suddenly he sees the foot of Bill on the rope and stops the three count. Iris looks on, barking in joy. Adonis can’t believe that his finisher didn’t work on Bill, he grabs him by the head as he sets him up for a Fallaway slam. But Bill kicks him between the legs as the referee wasn’t looking. Causing Adonis to drop down to his knees and Bill capitalizes with a DDT before locking Adonis in his finishing Sleeper hold.

Sharper: Sweet Dreams!!

Knots: YESS!!! Someone is going to dream of dogg biscuits instead of twerking!!!

The referee raises the arm of Adonis once as it falls down beside his body, he does it for the second time and the same result. He holds the arm up again from the Adonis whose eyes have closed and it once again drops for the third time before the referee calls for the bell.

Phillips: Here is your winner, via submission, Bill Barnhart!”

Barnhart gets up and looks around before having his arm raised. The crowd boos as Barnhart looks around. He then goes over to Iris and checks on her.

We then cut to show a shot inside the locker room of Dark Fantasy. We see Syren seated on the couch with the SCW World Championship on her lap. Ravyn sits next to her as CHBK standing behind them.

 

Sharper: “Well earlier tonight, we heard about what Mr. D decided to do regarding some of the consequences of what you three did at Learning from History. And Syren, Ravyn, CHBK….I wanted to know if you had a response.”

 

Ravyn smirks.

 

Ravyn: “Well it’s a good try. Then again, you’re asking the best wrestler in the world today to successfully defend her title when she’s always proven to be good enough.”

 

Syren smiles.

 

Syren: “Jake may have all of the fire in the world, but this is where I would rather be. I can defend this title and then whoever is in my way…looks like if I win, it’ll be Bree and Kennedy…well, Bree’s never been able to outsmart Ravyn or CHBK and Kennedy….well, looks like we’ll have a bit of a rematch and I can prove that you are beneath me. Redemption tour or not.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Ravyn: “Looks like we have Dark Fantasy back where they should be.”

 

CHBK: “And Regan Street can use twitter to talk about how important the US Championship is and it certainly is a prestigious title. Ravyn here would know.”

 

Ravyn smirks.

 

CHBK: “But everyone is talking about the World Champion and Regan…yet again, you show why you’re never going to reach the level these two have. They’re ahead of the game. You…you just need to be the focus of it. Too bad they’ll constantly get it and your anger is going to be your downfall.”

 

Syren: “And that just feels so good. Trust me…all of this feels great. I’m not worried about Jake. Tommy…give it your best shot. CHBK and Ravyn will be right with me and if you want to turn this into a war, maybe you’ll learn that you can join us!”

 

Ravyn: “Would be interesting. Although didn’t quite work last time….”

 

Syren: “So Jake, give it your best shot. Bring the chair. Get yourself disqualified. Show you’re just like you were in your years where you floundered. That you haven’t gotten better. That you’ve settled. I didn’t settle. That’s why I’m here and tonight, on Valentine’s Day…well, I can say that Ravyn will be getting the best gift of all in appreciation for her giving me the best gift.”

 

Ravyn glances back to CHBK.

 

Ravyn: “Sorry Alex.”

 

CHBK: “No worries. Then again, PPF thinks I’m already getting paid. I’ve gotten the appreciation I want….this scene right here. With Syren as World Champion and it won’t be changing.”

 

Syren smiles.

 

Syren: “Everyone…they’re going to have to just be totally jealous.”

 

The crowd boos. The scene then slowly fades to black.

We return to Breakdown with Regan on her phone.

 

Regan: “Don’t worry. Paris and London are coming to get you.”

 

Regan pulls the phone away from her ear briefly.

 

Regan: “Relax. I’ll make sure he gets the hint. Next time, I won’t be holding back. Sie…I need to take care of other things. I’ll give you a call in a minute.”

 

Regan brings the phone down as she steps forward.

 

Regan: “Hey!”

 

Regan storms over to Mr. D as he turns to her.

 

Mr. D: “Dylan’s going to be fine. We’ve sent him to the hospital to be sure. I saw Mikaela went with him. If you want Raynes-“

 

Regan: “I’ll worry about him another time. I’m done with this bull[bleep] with Dark Fantasy sniping me. Give me them and I’ll destroy them for you. You know that’s the most direct option-”

 

Mr. D: “And there are others who deserve that opportunity first. Whether I like it or not, they hold the title and your cousin is one of those people-“

 

Regan: “Yeah well, she can pick up the scraps then-“

 

Mr. D: “Did what they say actually get to you?”

 

Regan: “Please, we all know that the US Championship is THE title around here as I’ve beaten everyone.”

 

Mr. D: “Fine…you know what….that’s a great idea.”

 

Regan: “What? You’re going-“

 

Mr. D: “I’m going to make you defend it. In two weeks. You’ll defend your US Title.”

 

Regan smirks.

 

Regan: “Against who?”

 

Mr. D: “You’ll find out next week.”

 

Regan: “You’re [bleep]ing kidding me….Now you’re just soft.”

 

Mr. D walks off, ignoring Regan as Regan glares and turns back to her phone and dials someone befor walking off.

Red Empire vs. The Stewards

 

“Real Wild Child” plays throughout the arena as the fans gets excited and stand on their feet cheer. Gigi Steward steps out behind the curtain with Maddy walking beside her and they walks onto the stage in their wrestling gear and wearing her Team Desire hooded. She strikes a pose on the stage and holds her hand showing off a bedazzled skeleton hand jewelry and she makes a fist with it. She gives a cold blooded stare at the wrestling getting herself psyched.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, on their way to the ring, they are Gigi Steward and Madison Steward, they are Team Desire 2.0!”

 

She then marches onward to the ring. She takes off her jacket and drops it on the aisle for ring crew to pick it up. She walks around the ring and marches up the ring steps and enters the ring. She shouts at the crowd and throws her arms up in the air just trying to get a reaction for them. Gigi smirks at the main camera and retreats to her corner.

 

Sharper: “The SCW tag division has to be taking note of Har Megiddo. The Steward’s opponents sure should.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but they need to deal with the spunky Maddy and the driven Gigi tonight.”

 

“Scarlet” by In This Moment begins to play as the entire arena in engulfed in red lighting. Through the smoke that begins to cover the stage, Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant slowly saunter out onto the stage hand-in-hand and hips bumping as they walk, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by this sight.

 

Phillips: “And their opponents, they are Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant, they are Red Empire!”

 

Scarlet slowly turns to Ruby with a smirk and slowly starts running a hand up and down her body, trying to intentionally shift some of the focus over to her as Ruby just smiles back at her, and when Scarlet rises back to full height the two share a brief but passionate kiss before they begin heading down to the ring, Scarlet catching the lingering gaze of some of the fans and winking to them as Ruby just keeps her smile, pleased that Scarlet's enjoying herself. As they reach ringside Scarlet slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. She then spreads her legs as she leans back against the ropes and allows Ruby to slide into the ring between her legs. Ruby slowly twists around and rises as Scarlet approaches, taking Ruby's hands to run them up along her own body as well. This ends with the two of them locking lips again, one leg slowly rising from each of them before they separate. As the lights return to normal, Scarlet saunters over to try and start flirting with the referee as the look on Ruby's face changes, making it clear that at least she's flipped the switch and is ready for war.

 

Sharper: “Last time we saw them, the Red Empire was impressive against Abby-Normal, former Tag Champions. They however were approached by Har Megiddo.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but they need to not focus about that. Although, I’ve heard they’ve made some comments there. Ruby Amarant has some guts to her and Scarlet…well, she’ll get people’s attention!”

 

The bell sounds. Scarlet starts in the ring with Gigi. The two circle a bit and lunge and grapple. Gigi gets into a side headlock. She pulls back and Scarlet pulls her back into the ropes and fires her off. Gigi bounces off and shoulders Grey down. Gigi runs into the ropes. Grey rolls towards her. Gigi hops over and stops. Grey gets up and Gigi hits a hip toss. Grey gets back up and Gigi hits a headlock takedown into a pin.

Sharper: “Back and forth here just this moment. Scarlet fighting back, but the Stewards looking strong here.”

 

Knots: “All over Scarlet Grey. Maybe they want to keep her in there. Keep Ruby out. Ruby seemed to be the more cerebral of the two last time we saw them.”

 

Maddy then runs out and jumps up and hits a monkey flip. She goes for the pin.

The crowd roars. She hoists her up, but Maddy flips through and lands on her feet. Scarlet turns and Maddy jumps up and hits a dropkick. She rolls over and turns and tags in Gigi. Gigi climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars a bit as Scarlet gets up and Gigi dives off with a double axe handle smash. She then runs forward and nails Ruby, knocking her off the apron.

Scarlet turns and Gigi goes for a backdrop, but Scarlet lands on her feet, grabs Gigi and Ruby runs at her and they hit the Crowning Moment. The crowd ohs and Gigi hits hard. Ruby goes for the cover as Scarlet rolls through. She turns and Maddy enters and Scarlet just tackles her down.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Ruby Amarant and Scarlet Grey, The Red Empire!”

 

Sharper: “And Red Empire don’t waste time. Ruby Amarant saw an opportunity and didn’t hesitate.”

 

Knots: “Scarlet also looked good too. Showed she’s more than capable in that ring. Gigi and Maddy came to compete and just at the end, one mistake, one opportunity and Red Empire didn’t hesitate at all.”

 

Maddy rolls away as Scarlet gets up. Ruby gets up and the two have their arms raised. The crowd boos a bit as they look around the arena. They continue to pose as Maddy checks on Gigi when suddenly, the lights go to a shade of pink and we hear church music play again.

 

“She’s Coming….Soon!”

 

The crowd boos as Red Empire looks around and Ruby Amarant scoffs before they just exit the ring.

 

Knots: “Oh good! Our Goddess! She’s coming back and soon!”

 

Sharper: “We’ve been waiting about that for months now. She’s certainly milking this! Even Gigi and Maddy don’t have a clue when!”

 

Knots: “Well now we have a soon…instead of just infinite!”

 

Sharper: “Yeah…”

 

Ruby and Scarlet head to the back as we cut away.

We open up backstage to see Helena Merriman backstage, still in her gear. She runs her hand through her hair and shakes her head. We then see Marie Jones walk over and sit next to her.

 

Helena: “I don’t need a pep talk.”

 

Marie: “Yeah, but we do need to make sure you’re not going to slip this early. Angelica…she’s pissed off. You….you didn’t have it go as you planned. Adrenaline Rush down….We need people here who want competition.”

 

Helena: “Funny when the person who beat you can’t even bother to show up tonight…or half the time.”

 

Marie: “Exactly. Prima donnas….people focused on the wrong thing…”

 

Helena: “Like you once did…”

 

Marie: “Exactly…and just like Brittany. Lost focus. You’re already starting to teeter and this Sunday…just like my aunt Kayla….you have a chance to do something interesting.”

 

Helena: “I know….but as I said, I don’t need a pep talk. I just spent the last hour, replaying the match in my head so I don’t make the same mistakes. See, Marie…I came here for competition. Yes, I took out Brittany to make a statement, but that was the start. Just like you came here to prove yourself as a champion. Just like so many. I’ll focus on Trios….you showed you can compete in the main event. Don’t squander that.”

 

Marie looks at Helena as Helena gets up and steps forward and walks off as we cut away.

 

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy plays. We then see the Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see Selena Frost vs. Bree Mason.

 

Sharper: “Well next, our main event…Bree Mason faces Selena Frost!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Selena Frost vs. Bree Mason

 

The horns of "I'm Worth It" by Fifth Harmony begin as the lights dim somewhat, and a few white spotlights dance on the stage in time to the music. Bree Mason appears, her white silk robe clinging to her hips. A second later Blake Mason comes out, in a perfectly pressed suit, and takes her hand. They start down the ramp as Scott Burnside appears behind them and follows.

{Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it}

Bree then struts down the ramp as the chorus continues, her free hand on the silver silk belt holding her robe shut. Two crossing spotlights follow her progress.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for TV time remaining, is your main event of the evening. Making her way to the ring, currently residing in New Orleans, she is being accompanied by her manager Blake Mason and her assistant Scott Burnside... the Classy One, Bree Mason!”

The music continues as Bree gets to the ring. She stops at the steps to pose a second and Blake goes up the steps ahead of her. Bree follows up the steps as Scott goes around the ring. Blake then holds the ropes open for Bree to step through. She then does a little circle in the ring, showing off a bit with Blake holding her arm up, before stopping in the middle of the ring. Bree tugs on the silver belt, and the robe falls open revealing her pure white and silver trimmed outfit. Blake steps behind her and pulls the robe off, swishing it around and over his shoulder. Bree then raises her arms overhead in a flourish, then walks another small circle, a smug smirk on her face. Blake then exits the ring, standing near Scott as Bree's music fades and the lights return to normal.

 

Sharper: “Bree Mason, we’ve already see her get hot tonight. Angry that even though she’s getting a World Title shot, she could have to share it with Kennedy Street depending on how things shake out.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but at least she can have some fun, putting Selena Frost in her place!”

 

"BELIEVE IT!"

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

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

 

The crowd cheers as Selena gets to ringside before we see Josh Hudson running in from behind and nailing her from behind with a clothesline. She falls over and down to the mats. The crowd ohs and Selena rolls over to the apron. Bree just smiles as Blake and Scott look on. Josh Hudson turns and stomps her in the chest and then again as the crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Hudson from behind. Hudson was told by Sienna to take out Selena and isn’t wasting time here!”

 

Knots: “Bree’s just smiling. Why not? Hudson’s going to take her opponent out!”

 

Hudson stomps her again before pulling her up and then turning and lifting her up and running her back first into the ringpost. The crowd ohs and Selena falls to the mats. The boos continue as we then see officials running down from the back. Hudson gets another boot him before turning and stomping her leg. Selena rolls over. Officials get Josh Hudson back. Hudson spins around and tries to get back in, but the officials pull him back. They start to escort him to the back. Hudson looks at Selena as Selena stirs on the floor, holding her back and leg and Bree Mason looks around before turning and rolling to the floor. She then goes over to Selena and pulls her up and rolls her into the ring. Hudson heads to the back.

 

Sharper: “Look at Bree! Rolling Selena into the ring!”

 

Knots: “Ref has to clear Selena to start it though!”

 

Bree backs up and tells the referee to get Selena to agree. Selena wince as she backs up into the corner and then nods. The referee checks again and Selena nods again and the referee calls for the bell. The bell sounds as Bree runs in and kicks her in the ribs and then again and again. The crowd boos and Bree pulls her out and runs her out before jumping up and driving her face first into her knee. Selena rolls over to her back.

 

Sharper: “Face first! Bree taking advantage of this assault by Josh Hudson, who has been forced back to the back.”

 

Knots: “Selena was the idiot that actually agreed to start this match. This could be straight forward here!”

 

Bree goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out.

 

Sharper: “And Selena kicks out. She’s got the heart of a lion and she will keep fighting.”

Sharper: “Like Kennedy?”

 

Knots: “Quite possibly. Especially after earlier.”

 

Selena turns and starts to get up. Bree grabs her and pulls her up. She then nails her with a hard right. Selena falls back into the corner. Bree walks in and shoulders her in the ribs. She rears back and shoulders her again and then rears back and hits another shoulder thrust. She backs up and whips her across the ring. Selena flips up and over and onto the apron.

She turns around and Selena turns and grabs her arm and hits the Paydirt. The crowd ohs and Bree rolls over. She stirs as Selena starts to get up and just then, we see Josh Hudson coming back out from the back. He then manages to turn and throw an official into another one before getting free and bolting to the ring. Bree slowly stirs as Selena starts to get up.

 

Knots: “Josh is back!”

 

Sharper: “Bree and Selena still fighting. Back and forth!”

 

Knots: “Josh Hudson is coming down and he’s assaulted one official. He doesn’t care. He has a goal!”

 

Hudson runs down and slides into the ring. He gets up and Selena turns only for Hudson to clothesline her down. The crowd boos as Hudson then stomps her in the chest and then again and again. Bree slowly rolls over.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via disqualification, Selena Frost!”

 

Sharper: “Selena wins this by DQ-“

 

Knots: “Not pinfall or submission. Looks like she can’t beat Bree either!”

 

Sharper: “Oh stop it! But Sienna Swann has to be happy about this!”

 

Knots: “Bree too! She’s in the tournament!”

 

Hudson gets a few more shots in before he grabs her and pulls her up. Selena nails Hudson with a shot and then another before Bree runs over and dives at Selena’s knee. Selena yells out and falls to a knee before falling over. Hudson then turns to Bree. Bree nods and Hudson grabs Selena and nails her with a hard right, knocking her down. He then turns and grabs her leg and starts to set her up for the Hudson Stretch as the bell sounds again.

 

Sharper: “No! Not again! The Hudson Stretch. We saw this on Alexis Quinne last week!”

 

Knots: “Looks like Selena may be out! Looks like Hudson will need a new partner!”

 

We then see Alexis Quinne wincing a bit as she runs down to the ring. The crowd cheers as officials try to stop her, but she slips by and slides into the ring. Hudson gets Selena up, but Quinne kicks him in the ribs. Hudson drops her and Blake climbs up onto the apron. Bree turns and nails Quinne with a hard right and then another before Quinne fires back. Hudson staggers back before we see Donovan Kayl running out from the back.
