Breakdown - February 15, 2017

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sharper: “Welcome to Japan as Breakdown comes to you from the Saitama Super Arena. Joined by Jonathan Knots here at ringside, I’m Adam Sharper and tonight, one block of the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament could be decided and we cap things off with a huge tag team main event.”

We then see the Breakdown logo come up on the screen as we see a shot of The Sisterhood vs. The B & B Experience.

Knots: “That’s right. Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster, they’re a bit angry for a few reasons. They’ll face off against the Sisterhood in the main event. The Sisterhood will be watching to see what happens with AJ Tonight, but they should worry about themselves.”

We then see a shot of AJ Helms vs. Christy Matthews.

Sharper: “And AJ Helms has a big night. Shaun Cruze not here. He’s on the other tour, but he will challenge for the SCW Adrenaline Championship against Christy Matthews as part of the Shot of Adrenaline tournament, but his girlfriend Scarlett Pearson will make her in-ring debut.”

The still turns to a shot of Scarlett Pearson vs. Lexi von Aaron.

Knots: “Lexi von Aaron is going to finally get AJ all to herself. If she wins, she will travel with AJ, stay with AJ. Be his manager and any other perks. If Scarlett somehow wins, Lexi has to leave them alone. Please!”

Sharper: “Along with that, a big TV Title match. Ravyn Taylor will challenge Kennedy Street. They’ll be teammates in two and a half weeks at Retribution. You wonder if that’s in the back of their mind. El Rudo and Dante McCaffery here as well. PUNK HAZARD well represented. Big night here. But first, let’s go to the ring, where our boss is patiently waiting.”

We then cut to the ring. We see Mr. D standing in the ring with a table in front of him. Two contracts are on the table.

Mr. D: “Ladies and gentlemen, last Saturday, SCW held its 2017 Trios Tournament and determined which three individuals will receive a contract that they can do anything with. Those three are Ace Marshall…”

The crowd cheers a bit.

“Gable Winchester….”

More cheers.

“And Jake Starr!”

The crowd gives a more mixed response. Mr. D looks around.

Mr. D: “Now, Jake Starr is part of the European tour and next week on Breakdown, I will hand him his contract next week. But right now, please allow me to welcome two of the three winners, first…Gable Winchester!”

A deep voice booms around the arena as the crowds are hushed, waiting for what would happen next.

“The Book Of Winchester, Page Three, Chapter Seven, Verse Nine…There was a dark and foreboding federation…nothing but criminals and geriatrics running riot…the place called out for a hero…a saviour that wasn’t of the Christian variety…that could bring a new sense of awesomeness to it’s very core…and rock the place to it’s foundations like never before…they found that man”

There is silence before various words show on the video screen.

DRAGONSLAYING

FOUNDATION LAYING

ALCOHOL SWILLING

LEGEND THRILLING

"Motherf**ker Of The Year" By Motley Crue hits in the arena as a microphone now appears on the video screen as Gable's voice can be heard echoing throughout the arena

"GABLE-ITES! THIS IS FOR YOU!"

This immediately sets the crowds off with cheers aimed toward the man that steps out onto the top of the ramp with "The Book Of Winchester" tucked securely under his arm as he walks forward Gable then stops and smirks at the gathered fans before holding the book aloft as blue fireworks shoot up from both sides of the stage and the crowds give him a wild reception. He then starts to make his way to the ring and goes over to the steel steps. He walks into the ring. He then heads over to Mr. D and places the Book of Winchester onto the table and shakes his hand. Gable Winchester then looks around the crowd and nods, waving a bit as he heads over. Mr. D then turns and looks at the crowd.

Mr. D: “And now, please welcome, Ace Marshall!”

Sharper: “Gable Winchester in the ring. You can see him just eying his contract. He’s been here before. Ace Marshall, this is new territory.”

Knots: “And have you seen what he’s been tweeting out. Horrible, horrible things. Just terrible things!”

Sharper: “He’s having some fun with it and taunting others.”

Gable Winchester is shown in the ring, looking at his contract as Ace Marshall reaches the ring and walks up the steps. Cassidy follows him. They enter the ring. Mr. D goes to shake his hand, but Ace high-fives it and then fistpumps it. Cassidy just fistpumps it too. They head over and stand on the other side of the table. Their music fades out

Mr. D: “Gable…Ace….you see your contracts before you. Feel free to take them, look over them. Allow me to explain the terms to the contract so we are clear. You have until next year’s Trios Tournament event to cash in that contract. The match must occur before the end of Retribution 2018. Your match must be approved by the Board of Directors. Therefore, the contract must be submitted before the event in which you cash it in. We are not going to have a repeat of Rise to Greatness 2015.”

The crowd buzzes. Ace and Gable both just keep looking at the contract.

Sharper: “When Monarchy attempted to use the contract to give Kelcey Wallace a second opportunity after they had attacked Ravyn Taylor and Kennedy Street.”

Mr. D: “Other than that, gentlemen, take your contracts. They are yours. And congratulations to Ace Marshall and Gable Winchester for winning this opportunity!”

The crowd applauds. Mr. D then extends his hand to Ace Marshall and they shake hands again. He does the same to Gable Winchester.

Sharper: “Jake Starr watching in Britain. He’ll receive his next week, but Ace Marshall and Gable Winchester, all three have a lot of power.”

Knots: “Any match they want, at some point in the next year. The wheels are turning.”

Sharper: “And we’ll look to get Spirit Dansby to get a comment with both of them about if they have any initial thoughts. But they’ll also both in action later. Torsten Voigt will be up against Gable later. Ace Marshall will compete against Dark Fantasy in the Shot of Adrenaline tournament.”

“Immortals” then starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up and we see a shot of El Rudo vs. Dawn Lohan come up on the screen with the Shot of Adrenaline logo.

Sharper: “But next, we’ll see PUNK HAZARD member El Rudo return to his home country to face off against Dawn Lohan. They’re both eliminated, but pride on the line-“

Knots: “And both are going to be in the big Tactical Warfare match, it may be more than pride.”

Sharper: “That match will be next when we return to Breakdown from Saitama, Japan!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up to see Gable Winchester, holding one of the contracts, standing with Spirit Dansby in the backstage area.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Spirit Dansby here with Gable Winchester and Gable, you’re holding your Trios contract. Have you thought about what you’re going to use it on?”

Gable: “I don’t think any of this is going to be much of a shock. But given how Sloan and Diana want to keep ducking me, that may be first on my list. I will keep trying to get a match with them as I shouldn’t have to waste my contract to face them when they are under contract…but right now, after what they’ve done to Autumn and I….”

Gable just nods and walks off. Spirit watches him leave. We then cut back to ringside.

El Rudo vs. Dawn Lohan

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

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

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for onefall, has a ten minute time limit and is a Shot of Adrenaline Tournament match. First, on her way to the ring, from San Diego, California, she is Dawn Lohan!”

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

Sharper: “We open up tonight with Dawn Lohan facing off against one of the individuals we assume will be on the PUNK HAZARD team at Retribution. El Rudo eliminated.”

Knots: “Eliminated yes, so is Dawn. But Rudo can set things up well by kicking her ass tonight, in his home country!”

All eyes goes to the entrance ramp where all of a suddenly El Rudo runs out, donning a black and green mask Glow in the Dark mask with a custom made black and jacket leather jacket with a PUNK HAZARD logo on the back and a logo of his mask right below and a mouth scarf covering his mouth. The masked man stands in the middle of the entrance ramp and soon raises a boombox in the air. As he hoist it up in the air, the opening to "Heroes Come Back" blare over the PA system as the lights soon start flashing green, silver and white.

Phillips: “Making his way to the ring, representing PUNK HAZARD, from Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, El Rudo!”

El Rudo walks down to the ring and jumps up and down to his theme. El Rudo is heard talking to the camera in his native language while rapping his theme that's playing over the PA and on the boombox. He then walks to the left side of the ring and then walks up the steel steps. Rudo turns around and nods his head back and forth. He then ascends up the turnbuckle.

Because it's 3,2,1
MAKE SOME NOISE!

Rudo counts down before ending by flashing a thumbs down gesture. The lights dim briefly, which activates Rudo's glow in the dark mask. Rudo then grabs his boombox and lifts it up in the air. Rudo nods his head up and down before scaling back down and entering the ring. The lights come back up. Rudo walks over to the corner. Rudo takes off his jacket and then his glow in the dark mask, revealing his black and green mask. He then starts to taunt Dawn.

Sharper: “Rudo back home and the crowd responding well to him. But PUNK HAZARD split between here in Japan and the tour in Europe.”

Knots: “But we know Christy Matthews and Dante McCaffery are here.”

Sharper: “And Kennedy and Ravyn are here too.”

The bell sounds and Dawn runs across and jumps up and hits a dropkick to Rudo, sending him back hard into the corner. The crowd roars. Rudo rolls over and starts to get up and Dawn jumps up and hits another dropkick. She goes for the pin.

Rudo kicks out. He rolls over and crawls away from Dawn. Dawn gets up and walks over to him and grabs him by the boot, but Rudo boots her in the face and then again. Dawn staggers back. Rudo then gets up and jumps up into a wheelbarrow before rolling Dawn over into a roll-up.

Dawn kicks out.

Sharper: “Fast and furious to start. No love lost between these two.”

Knots: “Dawn Lohan to PUNK HAZARD and back.”

Dawn turns and Rudo forearms her and then kicks her in the ribs. She falls back to the corner. Rudo grabs her and whips her across. Dawn stops at the corner. Rudo runs after and Dawn gets a savate kick up. Rudo falls back. He rolls over and starts to get up and Dawn runs over and hits a swinging neckbreaker. She goes for the pin.

Rudo kicks out. Rudo rolls over and Dawn grabs him and drags him up and elbows him in the back of the head and then again. She then turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Rudo hits a basement dropkick to the knee. Dawn hits hard. She gets up and Rudo runs over and hits a leg drop to the back of her head. She rolls over. Rudo grabs her and whips her across into the corner. Rudo runs after and jumps up and hits a senton backsplash to the chest of Dawn. Dawn falls over to a seated position. Rudo turns and runs into the middle of the ring before turning back and hitting a cannonball in the corner. The crowd ohs. Rudo rolls Dawn over and hooks the leg.

Dawn shoots her shoulder up.

Sharper: “Nearfall! Rudo with the cannonball, but Dawn with her shoulder up!”

Knots: “Just think. These two could start off the Tactical Warfare match.”

Sharper: “If anything’s left…”

Knots: “And if the team screws over Kennedy! She wants the first spot.”

Dawn rolls over and starts to crawl away. Rudo grabs her and pulls her up before nailing her with a hard right and then another. Dawn falls to the ropes. Rudo whips Dawn across. She bounces off and Rudo hits a dropkick, knocking Dawn down. She rolls over. Rudo turns and pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle. Dawn stirs and Rudo waits. Dawn looks up and Rudo dives off and goes for a front dropkick. He hits it. Dawn hits the mat. Rudo goes for the pin.

Dawn kicks out. Rudo looks up. He then grabs Dawn and drags her up, yelling in her face as he moves her to the corner. Rudo then nails Dawn with a hard right and then another. Rudo grabs Dawn and whips her across. Dawn however runs up the corner. Rudo stops himself as he runs after, but Dawn dives off and hits a moonsault, taking him down. The crowd applauds.

Sharper: “Dawn! From the top! A great moonsault, taking down Rudo.”

Knots: “Rudo tried to stop, but by the time he realized that Dawn had countered, nowhere to go!”

Dawn rolls over and gets up as Rudo stirs and Dawn kicks him in the ribs and forearms him in the jaw. She pushes him into the ropes and fires him across. Rudo bounces off and jumps up for a hurricanrana, but Dawn sidesteps and Rudo hits the mat. He rolls over and gets up and Dawn hits a shoot kick to the chest. She rears back and hits another shoot kick before rearing back and hitting a third. She then turns to the ropes, bounces off and jumps up with a knee strike, completing the Lohan Barrage. She hooks the leg.

Rudo kicks out. He rolls over and Dawn watches him. Rudo staggers to his feet and turns around as Dawn jumps to the ropes and dives back with the Wonderful forearm. Dawn then grabs Rudo and moves him into position before climbing up to the top rope.

Sharper: “Dawn catches Rudo with the forearm. Now she’s going up. Could be time for the New Dawn.”

Knots: “Knees up. Or move! Or something! You’re at home!”

Dawn turns around and dives off and hits the New Dawn. The crowd roars. Dawn hooks the leg.

Dawn rolls over. She gets up and has her arm raised. Rudo holds his ribs and looks up. Dawn turns back and smiles.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Dawn Lohan!”

Knots: “I don’t believe it!”

Sharper: “She ends her Shot of Adrenaline Tournament with a win and a big one over Rudo who she may clash again with in two and a half weeks in Tactical Warfare!”

Dawn looks around, expecting PUNK HAZARD members to come out, but she turns and exits to the floor. She starts to walk around the ring as Rudo holds his ribs in pain, clearly angry as we cut away.

Dante McCaffery vs. Brett Sinclaire

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Manhattan, New York; weighing in at 230 pounds; he is Evolution Incarnate... BRETT SINCLAIRE!”

Brett Sinclaire looks out at the fans with a smile before he slowly makes his way down to the ring, the spotlight following him. When he reaches ringside he hops up onto the apron and steps between the ropes before he makes his way to the center of the ring where he repeats his pose from up on the stage, closing his eyes to take everything in as the lights all return to normal now. Brett backs into his corner and removes his robe before warming up for the match ahead, a focused look we’ve never seen before from him on his face.

Sharper: “Brett Sinclaire is a man who knows what he’s hunting for, and while he may not have one of the things on his list tonight, he knows a win will bring him one step closer to what he’s after.”

Knots: “The problem is that everything this guy’s after is a big mistake. I mean, he wants a match against Bree Lancaster for God knows what reason, and beyond that he wants another shot at Keenie’s title! It’s like he’s intentionally trying to keep his career from going anywhere.”

Sharper: “Brett has his reasons for those goals, but in order to make any progress towards them he’s going to have to overcome the numbers game tonight.”

The opening to "Out of the Black" hits the PA system, which gets a mixed reaction from the audience with cheers being more prevalent than boos, but just barely. The lights flash green and silver with every sound of the drum. Once the bass hits and the song kicks into gear, Dante McCaffery emerges from the curtains with a skull mask on his face, long black coat with a PUNK HAZARD badge on the right with a few more patches on the sides, a few more on the shoulders and then in the back the PUNK HAZARD logo. As Dante glares at the crowd, El Rudo and Tabula Rasa also walk out to the ramp with him, El Rudo with his salt bucket in his right hand. Dante removes his hands from his pockets and slowly runs them through his brown hair before he starts his trot down the ramp with Rudo and Rasa following close behind.

Phillips: “His opponent, representing PUNK HAZARD and being accompanied to the ring by El Rudo and Tabula Rasa; from Montreal, Quebec, Canada; weighing in at 215 pounds... DANTE MCCAFFERY!”

Dante pauses at the end of the ramp and stares at the audience to his right for a moment. He looks around at the crowd, his face hidden by his mask. He then walks up the steel steps before turning around and taking in the reaction from the Japanese fans that both support and oppose a group that’s adopted their country as a second home. Dante soon enters the ring and shortly, so does El Rudo and Tabula Rasa as Sinclaire wisely vacates the ring to avoid any pre-match shenanigans. Dante walks to the center of the ring and throws his arms up in the air for a moment before he takes off his jacket and mask as he hands it to Tabula. Then he walks over to the corner where El Rudo resides on the apron. Tabula quickly joins Rudo as Dante starts talking to both of them.

Sharper: “PUNK HAZARD is not at full strength tonight after being split up by our international tour. With Alexis and Grundy in the UK and Christy focusing on her Adrenaline Title defense, it looks like this Tabula Rasa character has joined Rudo out here.”

Knots: “Can you blame Dante? There are a lot of people who think they can take on PUNK HAZARD and won’t wait until Tactical Warfare, so there’s strength in numbers even with the group split up for the tour.”

Sharper: “There’s also a glaring distraction for Sinclaire to have to contend with lingering around ringside now, and you know Dante won’t hesitate to take any advantage he can get.”

Knots: “When you want to send a message to Ravyn Taylor specifically, you have to be ready to pull out all the stops to keep up with her in a battle of wits.”

Sinclaire slowly re-enters the ring as the referee forces Rudo and Rasa to head out to the floor. They just stand there joining Dante in staring a hole right through Brett as he eyes them warily, knowing the challenge that lies ahead of him. The referee signals for the bell and the two men carefully approach one another before they lock up, and Sinclaire’s size gives him the early advantage as he takes Dante to the mat with a headlock takeover, grinding away on the hold in the early going. It’s not too long before McCaffery starts to make it back to his feet, and Brett transitions into an arm wrench. Dante winces a bit as Brett twists and wrenches the arm a second time, but Dante uses his free hand to rake Brett’s eyes! The referee admonishes Dante as the former A-Lister lets him free and tries to clear his vision, but the PUNK HAZARD member isn’t going to give him a chance to recover as he boots him in the gut before landing several clubbing blows across Brett’s shoulders that briefly bring him to his knees. Dante pulls him up long enough to take him over with a snapmare before he bounces off the ropes and cracks Sinclaire in the back of the head with a running elbow!

Sharper: “Dante wasting no time in bending the rules to try and gain the upper hand in this match.”

Knots: “And why shouldn’t he? Brett’s already proven he’s the kind of guy who will sink to any depths imaginable to try and ‘evolve’ so why should Dante let himself be one-upped?”

Sharper just shakes his head as Dante steps on Brett’s throat and tries to deprive him of oxygen as the referee warns him to stop, and Dante complies in the form of stomping Brett’s throat on his way off. Brett rolls over towards the ropes clutching at his throat as he gasps for air, and the side of the ring he moved towards warrants the referee to warn the PUNK HAZARD members lingering around to stay put. They see no reason to go against his wishes as Dante maintains control by pulling Brett up just enough to drape his throat across the middle rope before he sits across his upper back, using his weight to choke the former A-Lister against the rope as he proceeds to fish hook the mouth, adding insult to injury while making Brett’s desperate gasps for air even more difficult. The referee starts counting, but Dante ceases on three and pulls Sinclaire back to his feet. He irish whips him and goes to catch him on the rebound with a big boot, but Brett slides underneath and then leaps up to catch Dante with a jumping neckbreaker! Sinclaire slowly gets to his feet in a coughing fit as he tries to get his ability to breathe regulated again now that he’s bought himself some time.

Sharper: “Brett finally finds an opening and creates a chance to catch his breath after Dante spent the better part of the early going trying to suffocate the man.”

Knots: “Can you blame him? Brett’s a waste of oxygen in general and Dante was just doing us all a favor.”

Dante gets back to his feet, looking annoyed. He sees that Brett’s backed into a corner still trying to catch his breath and goes to swing a roundhouse kick at his ribcage, but Sinclaire catches his leg and gives Dante a smile before spinning him a bit as he gets McCaffery’s ankle caught on the middle rope before swinging a hard kick up into the back of his knee! Dante yells out in pain as he tries to get away, but Brett quickly grabs his ankle again and takes him over with a dragon screw, the momentum sending Dante rolling out of the ring as he quickly limps over to the barricade while Rudo and Tabula go to check on him and keep Brett from pursuing, though the former A-Lister is perfectly fine waiting in the ring as the referee counts Dante out so he can make sure he’s got his breath back.

As the referee’s count reaches five, Dante finally makes his way back into the ring after trying to shake off the effects of Brett’s counterattack. The two men briefly circle each other again before Brett starts to shoot for a potential takedown, but as Dante starts shifting his weight to counter, Sinclaire changes the play at the last minute and instead grabs hold of Dante’s wrist before taking him down with a jumping armbreaker! Dante scrambles back to his feet only to walk into a beautiful dropkick from the former Hollywood star, followed by a repeat performance. Dante gets back up a third time and Brett motions to jump as Dante prepares to dodge this one, but again he’s been faked out and instead Sinclaire hits a basement dropkick right to the knee. Dante quickly rolls out of the ring again as Rudo and Tabula go to check on him, but this time Brett plans on keeping the momentum going as he climbs to the top turnbuckle before leaping off with a diving crossbody that drops the entire PUNK HAZARD trio as the fans pop for the aerial display!

Knots: “See, that’s what I’m talking about! Dante’s friends are just trying to support him, and this lunatic goes and wipes them all out!”

Sharper: “Brett had no plans on letting Dante recover this time and took to the air to take out PUNK HAZARD, who really have no business being out here to begin with.”

Knots: “PUNK HAZARD is like a family to one another, and a good family supports each other Sharper.”

Brett grabs Dante and pulls him up enough to throw him back into the ring. As he goes to slide back in, however, Rudo grabs onto his ankle and slows him down. The referee is busy checking on Dante to notice and by the time he turns his attention back to the outside Brett has already back kicked Rudo in the face to get him to let go. He hops up onto the apron and starts to re-enter the ring, but Rudo’s distraction gave Dante enough time to recover as he snatches Brett and plants him with a swinging neckbreaker before he’s completely back in the ring! McCaffery slowly pulls Sinclaire back to his feet just enough to plant him with a reverse DDT for good measure before he attempts a cover.

Brett kicks out! Dante wastes no time in slapping on a sleeper hold, however, trying to grind the former A-Lister down and put him to sleep as the referee checks in.

Sharper: “And there’s a prime example of why PUNK HAZARD has so many enemies. The blatant cheating and abuse of the numbers game just put Sinclaire on the back foot!”

Knots: “No, it got him put in a sleeper hold, and now Dante’s going to turn out those bright Hollywood lights of his!”

Brett waves off the referee, still showing signs of life as Dante continues trying to wear him down. Sinclaire, however, slowly starts trying to get back to his feet, managing to turn enough to have the sleeper converted into a side headlock and allowing him to start landing a few elbows into Dante’s midsection to loosen his grip. He finally gets back to his feet and uses Dante’s loosened grip to spin around and suddenly connect with a shoulder jawbreaker! The momentum, however, sends Dante into a pendulum motion against the ropes before he rebounds and catches a rising Sinclaire with the Messiah! Dante starts to go for a cover, but Brett wisely manages to move himself closer to the ropes and Dante opts not to waste the extra time pulling him away. Instead he stalks Brett as he starts to get back up, moving towards the corner as he does so. When he turns around Dante uses the top rope for leverage as he starts using his good leg to pepper Brett’s ribs with roundhouse kick after roundhouse kick until he slumps down to a seated position. This is where McCaffery starts to unleash Noah’s Flood, happily kicking away at Brett’s face looking to ruin the looks that helped him thrive in Hollywood. To Dante’s surprise, however, Brett manages to find the wherewithal to grab Dante’s leg on one of the kicks and proceeds to connect with a shin breaker! Dante cringes as Brett goes after his leg again, but Sinclaire doesn’t let go of the bad leg and turns him around so he can connect with a fisherman suplex, sticking the bridge!

1...

2...

The referee is so busy focusing on the count that he fails to see Tabula put Dante’s foot on the bottom rope until Rudo points out where it is, and this causes the referee to stop his count. Brett looks out at the two PUNK HAZARD members in irritation.

Sharper: “Brett could’ve had Dante right there, but once again PUNK HAZARD getting involved!”

Knots: “They need all the momentum they can get heading into Retribution and Tactical Warfare Adam. They aren’t going to let their brother-in-arms lose to some Hollywood has-been!”

Brett tries to shake off the distraction as he measures Dante before he springboards off the second rope into a beautiful moonsault across his chest! Starting to feel some momentum, he stands back and measures a slowly rising Dante before he plants him into the mat with a leg drop bulldog. He grabs Dante’s arm and starts doing the motion for a figure four armlock, but pauses for a moment and nods to himself as a sign to switch tactics, letting Dante’s arm go in favor of grabbing his bad leg and locking in a figure four leglock instead! Dante screams out in pain as Brett applies a ton of pressure on his knee, looking to capitalize on the damage he’s done since taking that opening on it near the start of this match. Dante claws at the mat, trying to keep himself from tapping out as he yells his refusal to the referee. El Rudo suddenly hops up onto the apron and grabs the referee’s attention, which gets some boos from the Japanese fans as the distraction does, in fact, cause the referee to miss Dante start to tap out to the leglock. Brett realizes what just happened and starts to release the hold to remove the distraction, but with the referee’s back turned Tabula Rasa has slipped into the ring and grabs the rising Sinclaire. He tries to go for the Blank Slate, but Brett manages to slip free and drops the PUNK HAZARD intruder with the Eye Opener! He lands a few extra kicks to Rasa to get him out of the ring, but this allows Dante to roll him up from behind! Rudo realizes the shift in momentum and tries to get the referee to turn around, but he only complies after Rudo gets off the apron and notices the pin.

2...

Sinclaire kicks out! Dante looks up at the referee, livid that he should’ve had that had it not been for the delay. He starts to pull Sinclaire to his feet, but Brett surprises Dante with a blizzard suplex that he holds the bridge to!

1...

2...

Dante gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “PUNK HAZARD’s interference almost backfired that time. Tabula’s out on the floor and Dante could’ve had this match won had Rudo taken a little less time getting off the apron.”

Sinclaire starts to climb to the top rope, measuring a rising Dante for the Falling Star, but Rudo gets back up on the apron and tries to stop him only to be knocked off by a boot to the face. Brett leaps from the top rope, but the distraction gave McCaffery extra time to recover and he manages to duck Brett’s blockbuster attempt as the former A-Lister crashes back first to the mat! Sinclaire slowly starts to get up, clutching at his back as he gets to his knees before Dante blasts him from behind with the Rapture! Dante is a bit slow to make the cover as his bad leg throbs in pain, but he manages to crawl onto Brett’s body.

Brett kicks out! Dante is in disbelief that this match hasn’t ended yet, but he signals to the fans that it’s time for this to end now. He slowly pulls Brett to his feet and scoops him up, perhaps looking for the Judah, but his leg gives out on him and he loses his grip, allowing Sinclaire to slip behind him. Brett spins him around and boots him in the gut before he lifts him up for the Natural Selection Ω, but Dante manages to slip free and limps over to the ropes. Tabula hops up onto the apron on the opposite side of the ring to grab the referee’s attention as Rudo slips onto the apron behind Dante, using his stablemate’s larger frame to hide himself from sight. Brett goes to pursue Dante, but he drops to the mat and the next thing Brett knows, Rudo’s throwing a handful of salt into his eyes! The fans are booing madly as Brett stumbles around, trying desperately to clear his vision as Rudo slips Dante a pair of brass knuckles, which he proceeds to blast Sinclaire right between the eyes with! Dante slides the evidence back to Rudo and goes for the cover as Tabula allows the referee to refocus on the match and see the pin.

The bell rings and "Out of the Black" hits again as Dante slowly makes it back to his feet, and Rudo and Tabula slide in as well to help their comrade to his feet and raise his arms in victory.

Phillips: “Here is your winner... DANTE MCCAFFERY!”

Sharper: “With a lot of help from PUNK HAZARD, Dante McCaffery steals this one against a very game Brett Sinclaire.”

Knots: “Brett’s got no one to blame but himself. If he’s perhaps spent some time making friends instead of enemies, maybe we could’ve had a different result.”

Rudo and Tabula haul the unconscious Sinclaire to his feet and throw him out to the floor in a heap so they can have the ring all to themselves to celebrate Dante’s victory here in Japan, the fans booing them regardless for their tactics in order to get this win.

Breakdown returns as we open up backstage to see Spirit Dansby standing by with Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m Spirit Dansby and I’m with Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter and Ace, you have your trios tournament contract. Later tonight, you’ve got an opportunity to have a straight forward path to the semifinals of the Shot of Adrenaline tournament. What are your thoughts about all of this?”

Ace: “Well first off, I suppose I should say something about Shilo who not only has apparently retired….held out oh so long before showing up last Saturday. But then he doesn’t want to say hi. I mean, that’s like going out to the bar, picking up a hot as hell girl and then just before she’s about to take off your pants, she just clubs you in the back of the head and takes your money. And Shilo, that’s not the type of entertainment we allow on our cable stations. But so be it Shilo. That can be the last moment of your career…losing to me in the Trios Tournament. And guess what…now I have a sweet contract.”

Ace turns to Spirit.

Ace: “Any idea what I should use it for?”

Spirit: “I was going to ask you that.”

Ace: “Well, I could have Lexi von Aaron face off against a grizzly bear. I could have Regan Street get shot out of a cannon.”

Spirit: “I’m not sure about that.”

Ace: “Fine…we’ll have her against a cannon and we’ll just make sure there’s some gunpowder in it. Come on, I can do anything I want…and I’m going to have fun.”

Spirit: “Then why not use it for a match with Shilo?”

Ace smirks and turns to Spirit.

Ace: “Because…that wouldn’t be entertaining. That would be…well…obvious. Just like Jake using his for a World Title shot at Rise to Greatness. Plus, Cassidy told me if I did, she’d kick me hard in the balls, and I fear that more than God. But as for the contract, we’ll find out soon enough. Tonight, I face off against Dark Ninja Jr. I need to learn how to catch ninja stars if I want to make it to Retribution. Trust me, hard to compete if you have a metal weapon in your eye…also hard to get through security at the airport.”

Ace heads off as we cut back to ringside.

Ikiro Yoshida vs. Akira Kimura

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

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

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, hailing from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan… He weighs in at two-hundred and thirty-nine pounds… IKIROOO YOSSSSHIIIDAAAA!!!”

The fans pop for the Japanese superstar, he leaps back up onto his feet and reaches into his jacket to remove what looks to be a pink plush Yoshi doll. He raises it up above his head with a grin before lowering his arm and walking down towards the ring with that same confident swagger from before. Ikiro quickly runs to the ring and slides in, following that up with a quicker roll to a knee. Ikiro sits the plush doll in front of him as he appears to talk to it. After kissing the tip of his index and forefinger, he places them on the forehead of the doll before picking it up and taking it to the corner where he sits it. Once removing his jacket, he hands it to the ring crew and begins to stretch before the bell.

Sharper: "Here we are for a match with two natives in another Shot of Adrenaline contest. Both are out but the tournament continues. We see two very different personalities in both men, Ikiro very playful and high spirited."

Knots: "That's nice and all but Akira is far more focused on where it counts and that's succeeding. If he can get past worrying over crowd reactions he would be set."

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

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

Phillips: "Ladies and Gentlemen, now heading to the ring and weighing in at 193Ibs, he is originally from Hiroshima, Japan and is now residing in Las Vegas Nevada. He is the … Akiiiiiiiira… Kimuuuuuuuuuuura!"

Akira slides under the bottom rope and chooses a turnbuckle, jumping onto the second rope and raising both his arms aloft, a single spotlight now landing on him, as the arena lights fade back in. Akira bounces on the second rope and somersaults backwards into the ring as the music fades. The crowd immediately goes silent as Ikiro steps up, skipping side to side a bit as he steps toward Akira. Akira circles around him before diving and grappling him by the shoulders. He pulls Ikiro down into a side headlock. Torcing the neck Ikiro grunts as he tries stepping to the side to pull himself free. He delivers several stiff shots to the mid section before shoving Akira hard into the ropes. Akira comes in hard and smashes into Ikiro with his shoulder, knocking Ikiro to the mat. Dropping down he goes for the quick pin.

1!

Ikiro kicks out. Doing a kick flip back to his feet he ctches Akira with an arm drag before quickly delivering a stiff kick to the spine. Akira grimaces from the shot before being pulled back to his feet. Twisting Akira's arm to the side Ikiro steps to the side and goes or a roundhouse kick to the face. Akira ducks under the leg before pulling Ikiro's arm down between his legs, rolling him up with a school boy.

2!

Ikiro rolls backwards while releasing Akira's arm, Akira rushing up to him an striking him across the jaw with a forearm shot to the chin. Ikiro hits the ropes before getting pulled in and dropped with a jumping roundhouse to the side of the face. Ikiro rolls over and starts to stand as Akira runs across the ring and bounces off the ropes. He goes for a shining wizard, Ikiro standing and running up to him. He connects with a running knee lift to the face. Akira hits the mat hard and grimaces while clutching his face. Ikiro pulls him back to his feet before lifting him up on his shoulder he drops Akira across the top rope with a snake eyes. He bounces off of the ropes and turns grasping his neck before Ikiro spins him around and whips him into the ropes. He comes up and throws Akira up with a flapjack. Standing he looks out to the crowd and strikes his chest before pumping his fists. A few of the silent crowd cheer, a little Asian girl screaming his name. Pulling out the dice he gets somewhat of a roar out of the crowd as he smiles and begins to shake them with both hands.

Sharper: "Ikiro Yoshida feeling it and this crowd loving it!"

Knots: "This isn't the time to be goofing around! You can get drunk and be an idiot afterward!"

Ikiro throws the dice across the ring and takes one look as to how they land. Akira watches this on the mat as Ikiro runs across the ring and bounces off of the ropes. Akira appears to be upset over this, as he comes up and quickly strikes Ikiro down with a lariat that causes him to hit the mat hard right across the back of his head and along his upper neck. He begins to stomp him remorselessly. Ikiro slowly begins to pull himself up, Akira running at him and connecting with a shining wizard as he is halfway back to his feet. It knocks him into the corner where Akira begins to strike him repeatedly across the jaw. The referee goes to break it up, Akira stepping back before running in and connecting with another shining wizard. Ikiro rolls out of the corner as Akiro turns out to the crowd, looking for a reaction. Not getting one he looks to Ikiro before running into the opposite ropes and coming back. He goes for a kick, Ikiro suddenly catching him and throwing him up, dropping him with another snake eyes. Akira almost falls to the mat, Ikiro catching him before lifting him up and connecting with a brainbuster. He quickly dives over him and hooks the legs.

1!

2!

Akira kicks out before three. Ikiro rolls off of him before pulling himself slowly up. He looks out to the crowd once more before smiling and throwing his hands up. He starts to slap one hand with the palm turned up repeatedly with a fist. The crowd cheers as he begins to play a game of rock, paper, scissors with himself. He hits three and forms a scissors. Nodding to himself he goes to pull Akira up and sets him up for a power bomb. Akira while hunched down does jumps while keeping his body down, and manages to do a flip forward while throwing his legs up, connecting with a front drop kick to the chest that knocks Ikiro into the turnbuckle. Akira stands and immediately charges forward before connecting with repeated elbow shots to the chin. Stepping back he charges forward while jumping up and connecting with a stiff knee to the jaw that causes Ikiro to fall out of the corner. Looking out to the crowd he appears agitated before continuing the assault on Ikiro.

Sharper: "Ikiro Yoshida having some trouble here. He's trying to play his games and Akira Kimura is having none of it. Akira doesn't appear happy about the reaction he is getting as a result of it."

Knots: "He needs to stop worrying about what they want. They're idiots, they want the dice rolling and the child games. Akira Kimura came here to prove himself."

Ikiro tries to stand and is met with several overhand blows across the spine before Akira jumps up and drives his knee into his back, taking Ikiro back to the mat. He stomps his back repeatedly before grabbing Ikiro's legs and dragging him into the center of the ring. He takes one more look out at the crowd before shaking his head, flipping Ikiro over and looking on the Kimura Lock. Ikiro shakes his head no and tries to fight it. He reaches for the ropes, trying to drag them toward the ropes. He gets halfway before Akira leans up to pull Ikiro away back to the center of the ring, proceeding to adjust them to where he is practically sitting on his head with the lock in. Ikiro throws a hand up to his face while shaking his head. Unable to continue he begins to tap. ‘Lucifer’s Theme (SCW Remix)’ begins to play throughout the arena as Akira stands back to his feet. He looks out amongst the crowd briefly before turning away and making his way toward a corner. He stands up along it while throwing an arm up. The crowd reacts for a split second.

Sharper: "Akira Kimura successful here tonight. Ikiro put up a fight initially but as he tried playing for the crowd, Akira came back and hard. Ikiro not able to recover from it."

Knots: "The lesson of the day, you're either here to cater to the people or you're here to build a career. Akira clearly knows where his priorities are. He may be out of Shot of Adrenaline but these are the telling matches after the fact that can easily determine someone's future in the sport. Akira is fighting for Akira."

Akira drops down from the corner and looks once more at Ikiro who is rolling toward the apron. Ignoring him he steps over to the ropes and drops down before sliding out. Hitting the ground he makes his way toward the ramp, cameras capturing him looking determined.

COMMERCIALS

Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes.

“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”

The song gets stuck on the word, and is then interrupted by the deep sound of the voice of Marilyn Manson.

“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face. She’s dressed a Ravyn Taylor t-shirt and jeans. She stops on the stage, twirling for the camera almost mockingly.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor later tonight will face Kennedy Street, challenging her for the Television Title.”

Knots: “Yeah. Ravyn’s not even in her gear. What’s she doing out here?”

Sharper: “Last week, she had some fun at PUNK HAZARD’s expense…”

LAST WEEK:

We open up in the PUNK HAZARD locker room. Christy walks over as Quinne turns away, clearly trying to keep calm. The cameraman then starts to pan around the room and we see various PUNK HAZARD shirts and banners, presumably from their bags, ripped and cut up. We also see them covered in dark purple spray paint. The camera then pans across to show the wall where we see written “Where’s the opening move?” Underneath, we see written in big letters “CHECK!” before we see a sketch of a king’s piece in chess, knocked over and Ravyn Taylor’s signature in the bottom.

Knots: “Ravyn may have just kicked a hornet’s nest.”

Sharper: “You see the sketch and the “check,” a hint to Dante McCaffery, from Ravyn Taylor. She’s a gifted artist, but also not just that, they’ve referred to a chess match. Dante not here last week.”

Knots: “He’s here tonight. We even saw him!”

Ravyn Taylor smiles as we return to a live shot. She looks around as she leans on the ropes. She then starts to step back.

Ravyn: “I hope you enjoyed my artwork last week. It probably isn’t as technically sound as your tagging that you participate in Alexis, but then again, you were not my intended target. This was all invited on you by Dante McCaffery. Now, you could be wondering and saying, but Ravyn, this was rather naughty of you to do so when he wasn’t even in the country, but I would respond by going…”

Ravyn shrugs.

Ravyn: “Not my problem.”

Ravyn looks around.

Ravyn: “But I did mean exactly what I wrote…check. This chess match we’re having before we all enter Tactical Warfare and the need for proper strategy only becomes elevated, I may as well try to win the war before the final battle. And Dante, you’ve shown some tricks and I must admit, Christy Matthews was quite scathing in her comments a few weeks ago. PUNK HAZARD may be riding high. Alexis Quinne defeated Syren. Dante, you managed to pay some drunks to take some liberties with me and making sure they will never be allowed at an SCW event ever again. I hope the payment was worth it…or at least enough to cover their cable subscription.”

Ravyn pauses for a moment as the crowd listens intently.

Ravyn: “But I suppose if we’re going to continue this chess analogy, it would be your move and so I ask you, what is your plan? You don’t have the numbers to make a true statement by PUNK HAZARD’s usual M.O., a gang assault to make them feel good and I use those terms intentionally. You could ruin my match with Kennedy, but let’s face it, would not more be gained if I beat Kennedy, taking her TV Title? Even if she was to win, one would assume that my general hesitancy to care for the Streets in general would bubble up to the surface. But that would involve you needing to be passive, Dante.”

Ravyn looks around at the crowd.

Ravyn: “Do you intend to flash around some American cash here in this Japanese crowd, assuming that you can find some people here that may be willing to sell themselves for a buck or two, I mean, this is a place where you can buy used women’s underwear in a vending machine. Do they have vending machines for cunning plans?”

Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “I doubt it Dante. But I’m waiting with baited breath. Because if we’re going to have a chess match, you have two things to note about me. Amateurs don’t last and I don’t always wait for the next move to play my pieces.”

Ravyn brings the microphone down, when instead of her music playing, we hear “Criticize” by Adelita’s Way start to play. The crowd roars as a few moments pass and Kennedy Street walks out from the back in slacks and a blouse and holding her SCW Television Championship. She looks down at Ravyn. Ravyn backs up as Kennedy Street heads to the ring.

Knots: “Kennedy…what are you doing?”

Sharper: “Kennedy Street coming out. Ravyn Taylor referenced her earlier, but I don’t know why.”

Kennedy Street walks over to the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then walks along the ropes and steps into the ring. She looks at Ravyn as Ravyn looks at her. Kennedy then heads over to the corner and asks for a microphone. Jason Phillips hands her one and she turns and looks back at Ravyn.

Ravyn: “I sincerely hope you’re not Dante’s plan. Although that blouse and jean combination can make some of the men here weak in the knees.”

Kennedy: “I’m sure your combination can do the same, but I’m not out here for Dante. I’m out here because I know what later tonight brings me. Ravyn, you and I, we’ve been through a lot. Two years ago, I took the World Title from Syren and I know you watched with great disdain. Rise to Greatness when you took the World Title from me. While everyone focused on you and Kelcey, you, Ravyn, you’re the one that sent me to wherever I was. To being anything but a champion.”

Ravyn just looks at Kennedy.

Kennedy: “Tonight, I’ll flat out say it. I want to beat you and show that I can take on one of the best and show that I can outduel ANYONE.”

Ravyn: “Admirable for any redemption tour.”

Kennedy: “Here’s the twist, Ravyn. You just said it. You hate me, or at least have disdain for me. And I don’t think I need to say much about what I think about you or Syren. But we have to stand on the same team and not just that, you mentioned strategy....”

Kennedy pauses for a moment.

Kennedy: “This whole lone wolf business isn’t going to cut it. Not with PUNK HAZARD. You know that. I know that. I’m sick of the attacks. I’m sick of the taunting. But if you want to play games while you’re doing all of this, inviting more, then tonight may be about more than just the TV Title or my redemption. It may be about me determining what’s best for my team. I look who is standing with us….I trust Dawn. Dawn trusts Tommy. That’s good enough for me. But I don’t know if I can deal with two people I don’t trust at all in you and Jake.”

Ravyn: “Kennedy…I will be trying to win the TV Title from you. I’ll say that to your face. But you’re the one that needs to worry more about trust. You’re the one that wants to start everything off and to me, Kennedy, you’ve been collateral damage until recently. And frankly, I assume you just want to play the hero. To get these fans to love you. I am just worrying about beating PUNK HAZARD. That doesn’t require trust. That requires me to consider everything and develop the proper strategy. And right now, Kennedy, my strategy doesn’t see you starting off. It sees you in there dead last.”

Ravyn then steps back.

Ravyn: “Good luck later.”

Ravyn turns and steps through the ropes and drops down. She places the microphone on the apron. “Bad, Bad Girl” starts to play. Ravyn starts to head to the back. Kennedy watches her leave while standing in the ring.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor is clear on her thoughts of Kennedy Street. She’s not sold.”

Knots: “What does she have to do? She’s been competing at a high-level. She was out there at Ravyn’s lumberjack match against Dante at Hazardous Envy!”

Sharper: “Kennedy says its about trust and dislikes Ravyn’s approach. Ravyn just doesn’t trust her. And that may be the one factor PUNK HAZARD has over their opponents at Retribution. But tonight, things just got turned up before Kennedy Street defends her TV Title against Ravyn Taylor.”

Ravyn continues to walk to the back. Kennedy just watches her and backs up before shaking her head.

We then cut backstage as we see Torsten Voigt standing backstage. The camera pans out to show Spirit Dansby standing next to him with Eric Teufel next to her.

Spirit: “Earlier we heard from Gable Winchester, and I am now with Eric Teufel and Torsten Voigt. In moments, Torsten will face Gable, but you want some time to speak.”

Teufel: “Damn right, I wanted time. All that time, Gable talked, he wanted to talk about the Daughters of Darkness. He should be focusing on Torsten. But that’s fine. It’s not like that sign of disrespect won’t be lost on my Monster, Torsten Voigt. So I hope you enjoyed your interview with Gable, Spirit. After tonight, he may be a bit more hesitant to open his mouth and Torsten…he sees Gable as one thing. He knows his past link with Stacy Kissinger. I wonder what she’ll think when we destroyed her ex-boyfriend…”

Teufel snaps his fingers.

Teufel: “Just like that.”

Teufel then turns to Voigt. Voigt just glares at Spirit Dansby before heading off. Spirit watches them leave as she backs off a bit.

Sharper: “Torsten Voigt faces off against Gable Winchester, next!”

The scene fades to black.

Torsten Voigt vs. Gable Winchester

A deep voice booms around the arena as the crowds are hushed, waiting for what would happen next.

“The Book Of Winchester, Page Three, Chapter Seven, Verse Nine…There was a dark and foreboding federation…nothing but criminals and geriatrics running riot…the place called out for a hero…a saviour that wasn’t of the Christian variety…that could bring a new sense of awesomeness to it’s very core…and rock the place to it’s foundations like never before…they found that man”

There is silence before various words show on the video screen.

LEGEND THRILLING

"Motherf**ker Of The Year" By Motley Crue hits in the arena as a microphone now appears on the video screen as Gable's voice can be heard echoing throughout the arena

"GABLE-ITES! THIS IS FOR YOU!"

This immediately sets the crowds off with cheers aimed toward the man that steps out onto the top of the ramp with "The Book Of Winchester" tucked securely under his arm as he walks forward Gable then stops and smirks at the gathered fans before holding the book aloft as blue fireworks shoot up from both sides of the stage and the crowds give him a wild reception. Shrugging and then smiling, Gable holds the book up in the air before lowering it and then strolling down to the ring, acknowledging as many fans as he can before he makes his way to the ring with a look of appreciation for the fans clear on his face.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, he is a winner of the 2017 Trios Tournament, from Las Vegas, Nevada, the Man of Win, Gable Winchester!”

Gable reaches the ring and puts the Book Of Winchester on the apron before he slides in, standing on the ropes and holding his hand up in a tight fist as the crowds whistle and cheer for The Man Of Win. Gable then awaits his opponent to come to the ring.

Sharper: “Gable Winchester has his mind on a lot. He and Autumn have been not on the same page as of late, in fact, not even seen much together. He’s got his Trios contract, but wants a shot at the DoD.”

Knots: “Who did not make it on the trip? They’re off. We don’t know what’s going on, but he may have just unwittingly shortened his career. The big man is mad!”

“Mission Statement” by Stone Sour begins blasting through the arena as red and gold lights flash in an alternating fashion on the stage in tune with the song and we see the German flag waving proudly on the Tron. When the lyrics kicks in, we see Eric Teufel slowly make his way out, leading his German destroyer into battle.

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Eric Teufel, he is from Bonn, Germany, he is Torsten Voigt!”

They both stand there for a moment surveying the fans, Eric with a huge grin that shows how much he’s enjoying this while Torsten Voigt takes in the boos of the crowd with a glare before he focuses solely on the ring and begins marching down the ramp like a man on a mission. Eric notices his client heading to the ring and does his best to keep up with the far more athletic of the two of them. When they reach ringside Eric simply takes his place there to catch his breath while Torsten effortlessly hops onto the apron and steps between the ropes. He begins to crack his joints and stretch before he gets to work, Eric not waiting for the bell to start dictating strategy to him.

Sharper: “Voigt looked impressive last Saturday when he was teamed with Vixen Cain and Kelcey Wallace, both of whom are on the European tour. Voigt held his own.”

Knots: “Why would that be shocking? He’s been dominant his entire time here. Remember the End of the Year Special battle royal? What about Shane Lawson?”

Sharper: “And that contest against Lawson at Hazardous Envy may be one to watch. That was the last time we saw him annoyed.”

Voigt turns to Winchester as the bell sounds. Winchester heads around the ring Voigt just looks at him. He then lunges and Winchester grapples too. They push back on one another before Voigt sends Winchester back. He rolls back and looks up. Voigt follows and pushes him up and into the corner. He goes for a hard right, but Winchester ducks and spins around. He nails Voigt with a hard right and then a left before grabbing him and going to whip him across. Voigt spins through and pulls him into his knee. Gable flips through and backs up to the corner. Voigt stalks him to the corner before Gable kicks him in the knee. He kicks him again. Voigt staggers back. Gable then pushes himself to the middle rope and dives off, nailing Voigt with a double axe handle smash. Voigt stumbles back and into the corner.

Sharper: “Gable going for the knee. Then the head with the double axe handle. He’s going to have to move quickly in this one.”

Knots: “But Voigt’s not off his feet!”

Gable follows after and nails Voigt with a hard right and then kicks him in the ribs. Voigt winces. Gable grabs him and pulls him out. He then drops him with a drop toe hold. Voigt hits the mat and Gable gets up and jumps up and hits a double leg drop to the back of Voigt. Voigt rolls over. Gable gets up as Voigt slowly gets up to his feet and turns around as Gable runs at him and nails him with a European uppercut. Voigt stumbles to the ropes. Gable grabs him and goes to whip him across. Voigt bounces off and Gable turns and goes to lift him up, but Voigt spins through. He then elbows Gable in the back of the head. Gable falls to a knee. Voigt grabs him in an inverted front-face lock. He then hoists him up and just lets him go and Gable lands hard chest first. He rolls over to the ropes. Voigt turns and walks over to Gable. He places his foot on his throat.

Voigt backs up and the referee reprimands him. As he does, Teufel runs over and chokes Gable on the apron. The crowd boos some. After a few moments, Teufel steps off as Voigt walks back.

Sharper: “Come on! The choke from Voigt and then that slug, Teufel! Come on!”

Knots: “The referee needs to be aware of this. Eric Teufel is just speeding this up. Voigt will play with him. That’s all. It’s a humanitarian thing!”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Voigt grabs Gable and pulls him up. He then hooks him up in another front face lock before hoisting him up and dropping him with a release suplex. Gable rolls over and Voigt grabs him and lifts him up before pulling him in and short-arm clotheslining him down. Gable hits them at. He goes for the pin.

Gable kicks out. Voigt gets up as Gable stirs and moves to the ropes. He then grabs him and scoops him up. He then steps forward and throws Gable back with a fallaway slam. The crowd ohs. Voigt gets up and calmly walks over. Gable starts to get up and Voigt grabs him and elbows him in the back of the head. He then whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Voigt hoists Gable up over his head for a military press. Gable however slides down behind him. He turns and jumps to the middle rope and Voigt turns around as Gable dives back and hits the STF Uppercut. The crowd applauds.

Sharper: “Springboard European uppercut. Voigt dropped and finally off his feet.”

Knots: “Took a while, but he got him there with a strike, not a drop toe hold.”

Sharper: “And Voigt is quickly starting to get up.”

Winchester turns and Voigt starts to get up and Winchester hits a dropkick. Voigt falls back. He slowly gets up and Winchester rolls him up with a school boy.

Voigt kicks out. He starts to get up and Winchester runs into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a swinging neckbreaker. Voigt hits the mat. Winchester exits the ring and then starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd roars. Voigt stirs and gets up. Teufel yells at him as Winchester dives off and hits a crossbody into a pin.

Voigt kicks out. Both get up and Winchester kicks him in the ribs. He hooks him up and Voigt then lifts him up and turns before throwing him hard into the top rope. Winchester bounces off and rolls over in pain, holding his ribs.

Sharper: “Oh! Right into the ropes.”

Knots: “Hard landing. Gable just found out how tightly those are wound.”

Voigt then walks over and as Gable stirs. He rolls over and tries to fight up. Voigt then grabs him in a waistlock before deadlifting him up and throwing him back with a release German suplex. The crowd ohs. Voigt then turns and grabs Gable. He pulls him up. Gable throws a punch, but Voigt blocks it and kicks him in the ribs. He then hooks Gable up and hoists him up before dropping him with the Panzer. The crowd ohs. Voigt turns and hooks the leg.

The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Torsten Voigt!”

Teufel applauds as he walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. Winchester writhes in pain. Voigt gets up and looks at him. Teufel walks over and raises his arm. The crowd boos a bit. Voigt looks around.

Sharper: “And Voigt with another impressive display. He just defeated a former US Champion!”

Knots: “Voigt, cold, calculating…I wonder if Adrenaline Rush got the message.”

Sharper: “They’re separated because of rosters, but not just that, no mention of Konrad Raab, who Voigt attacked last week. Voigt’s getting a lot of attention.”

Teufel continues to hold Voigt’s arm up as the crowd boos. Teufel smiles as Voigt remains emotionless looking around the Saitama Super Arena.

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of AJ Helms vs. Christy Matthews for the SCW Adrenaline Championship in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament.

Sharper: “Big match coming up. It could determine the semi-finals of the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament and also the Adrenaline Champion. AJ Helms challenges Christy Matthews for the title, next!”

The scene fades to black.

A.J. Helms vs. Christy Matthews

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

SCW Adrenaline Championship

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

Phillips: "The following contest is a match in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament and is for the Adrenaline Championship, set to a ten minute time limit! Making his way to the ring, accompanied by Scarlett Pearson, hailing from from Asbury Park New Jersey by way of The Hollywood Hills California, AJ Helms!"

AJ jumps up and tucks his legs underneath him as he slides under the bottom rope legs first before quickly jumping to his feet and running to the corner, where he hops up onto the second rope and throws one fist into the air, the crowd cheering a little again as he grins at them. Scarlett climbs the steps and walks along the apron and AJ hops down and walks over to his corner where Scarlett is now waiting and he says something to her before giving her another quick kiss. Scarlett drops down to the outside and AJ settles back in the corner, waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: "AJ looks ready as he looks to potentially win his third Championship."

Knots: "If he has any hopes of making it to the semis he literally has to win every match from here on out. All Christy needs to do here is win or draw and she is set."

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans boo loudly as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose. Her fists are taped and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairytale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

...E B D O N E N T E R T A I N M E N T P R E S E N T S...
...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...

Phillips: " And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, she is reigning and defending SCW Adrenaline Champion, Christy Matthews!"

She begins to push her way down to ringside as security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way. Christy ignores every one of them as she walks past them, focusing on the ring. She makes her way down to the barricade, leaping over and begins climbing the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope, pulling down the hood of her jacket and striking the mock-crucifix pose once more. As the second chorus of “King of the World” hits Christy sings along with the lyrics, continuing to strike the crucifix pose before finally leaping over the top rope and spinning around in the ring, throwing her ring jacket to the outside and collapsing to a seated position in the corner of the ring as the fans cheer. She sits in the corner, looking out at the fans occasionally. Pulling herself off from the turnbuckle she steps over toward the center of the ring as the referee calls for the bell. She smirks as AJ talks a second more at his corner before turning and stepping up.

Sharper: "This will mark the first contest where these two have squared off. They were opponents in an eight person tag match back in November. In terms of singles this is their first."

Knots: "AJ had three people there to rely on. He's now facing Christy in her match up with her Championship and pride on the line. Very different story here. If he has any hopes in Shot of Adrenaline, again. He has to get through her. Christy doesn't even have to win here. Drag it out."

AJ steps up and goes to lock up. Christy kicks to his side causing him to back up. He looks across at her as she takes a more defensive stance. He goes again, stepping back again to avoid a kick. Circling around she follows his position when he goes for a third. She fakes a kick, AJ ignoring it before wrapping an arm around the side of her head. She strikes him repeatedly with an elbow before flipping him with an arm drag, following through with a kick to the back of the head. He rolls over before standing quickly to his feet, Christy now going for the side headlock. She goes to flip him with a headlock take down, AJ wrapping his arms around her waist before countering, lifting her up on his shoulders. He goes for a back drop, Christy rolling over his shoulder and landing on her feet. She immediately chop blocks him to the mat, AJ rolling over onto his stomach before doing a back flip to his feet. He grabs her arm and pulls her in before snapmaring her to the mat. As she stands, he runs up to her and meets her with a European uppercut. She falls back a step clutching her face before turning and meeting his side with a stiff roundhouse kick. He buckles back a step, eating a second one. She goes for a third which he catches before spinning her over to the mat with a dragon screw. Holdng her leg, he reaches down and grabs her other before flipping over on top of her with a jack knife pin.

Christy breaks her shoulder off of the mat before using her legs to pull his back to the mat, going for a pin of her own.

AJ breaks out before rolling over and up. Christy meets him with a European uppercut that knocks him back a step. She runs up before jumping up and snapping off with a side neck breaker. She immediately rolls back to her feet before jumping up and driving her knee down over his head. He rolls over from the shot and pulls himself up to his feet. Christy runs at him, AJ leaping up suddenly and spinning her out to the mat with a head scissor take down. Christy pulls herself up shakily to her feet, AJ running up to her before suddenly driving her head first into the mat with a DDT.

Sharper: "Very back and forth, however Christy clearly initially having somewhat of an advantage thanks to her speed and experience. AJ Helms however picking up some momentum and we may in line here for an upset!"

Knots: "Not if he doesn't learn when to actually go for a cover!"

Pulling Christy back to her feet, he lifts her up and connects with a back suplex. Quickly he runs up to the turnbuckle before jumping up to the top. Jumping back he connects with a corkscrew leg drop across the neck, immediately proceeding to cover.

Christy kicks out. Standing AJ runs across the ring and bounces off of the ropes before dropping and going or a dropkick to the head. Christy sits up, avoiding the kick as he slides right by her. Standing she charges over before punting the side of his head. AJ slowly pulls himself half way up, Christy pulling him the rest of the way before connecting with several forearm blows to the jaw. AJ fires back with one of his own, Christy retaliating with a rake to the eyes. Turning away while grasping his eyes, Christy steps up before driving him to the mat with a side Russian leg sweep. Stepping back up she runs over to the ropes before spring boarding off of the second rope. She twists in mid air and connects with a corkscrew senton splash. She drops back while hooking both legs.

AJ kicks out at two. Sitting up Christy sits up before grabbing his arm before wrapping it up and locking on a arm triangle choke. AJ rolls around a bit but manages lift himself up with her, pinning her shoulders to the mat.

Christy kicks back and pulls her shoulders off. AJ goes to roll her up again, Christy now releasing the hold while throwing her leg up and back down, kicking him across the face. Both get to their feet, Christy meeting him with a thumb to the eye before connecting with a stiff high roundhouse kick to the face. AJ falls to one knee while turning, stopping him from falling limply to the mat as he circles around Christy runs up and jumps, going to wrap an arm around his neck. AJ catches her and manages to throw her into the corner. She quickly scales the corner as he still appears disoriented from the kick, Christy leaping off with a missle drop kick. AJ falls back into the ropes and avoids it as she crashes. Bouncing off of the ropes AJ comes back with a low angle front dropkick to the face. Rolling over Christy appears winded as the referee goes to check on her. Looking up to him, she contemplates an action before shoving him back hard to the mat. The crowd boos as she looks to AJ triumphantly. The referee stands and looks to the bell keeper before shaking his head and telling her to get back to the match.

Sharper: "Christy Matthews looking to be disqualified here, the referee telling her to continue and the match is still well underway!"

Knots: "Champion privilege! What are you doing ref?! Do your job!"

Christy looks at him and snaps at him before turning just as AJ springboards himself off of the top rope, connecting with a springboard flying forearm. The crowd pops a bit briefly as AJ gets back to his feet. He calls for the NJNB, setting up for it. Christy spins out from his grasp before turning and jabbing another thumb to the eye. AJ flinches as she shoves him hard into the corner. She begins hammering away with lefts and rights before throwing her leg up and sticking her boot to his throat, strangling him. The referee starts counting. 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! Christy refuses to release the hold, the referee literally having to go up to her and push her off. She shoves him again as AJ falls from the corner. The referee begins to shout at her as she shakes her head while telling him to call for the bell.

Sharper: "This is just disgraceful!"

Knots: "It's an easy concept. The winner of this contest by disqualification, AJ Helms! Still your Champion, Christy Matthews!"

AJ manages to stand and suddenly spins Christy around as she is still arguing with the referee. Christy reacts with a hard kick, planting her boot in between his legs. The referee yells at her as she begins to simply low blow AJ repeatedly with stomps, AJ wreathing around on the mat. Shaking his head the referee turns before calling for the bell. "Life @ 11" begins to play as Scarlett slides into the ring, Christy smirking before turning and quickly rolling out.

Sharper: "This is just downright disgusting. Christy may be well on her way now of not hitting semis if AJ can win the next two matches. She could be the first Champion to never make it to the next series."

Knots: "That's a big if. Regardless the Adrenaline Championship remains with Christy Matthews! His music is playing but he doesn't look like a winner from where I'm sitting!"

Sharper: "Well, still tonight we'll see Scarlett go one on one with the woman who has been tormenting them for months now. You have to ask if she's ready for her first match in a SCW ring. AJ two more points in, the bracket still undecided."

Christy grabs the title from ringside and places it over her shoulder. She ignores the ring as she makes her way around. AJ just looks up and around before turning to the official, holding himself.

COMMERCIALS

Sharper: “Welcome back to Saitama, Japan here for Breakdown. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots. Moments ago, we just had a stunning turn of events and one that we’re still trying to figure out.”

Knots: “Christy Matthews intentionally getting herself disqualified. AJ Helms gets the two points. He has two more matches in the tournament on this tour. He wins both, he’s in the semis. Ace now has to win to be in, but if that happens, the Adrenaline Title may not be on the line in the semis and finals!”

Sharper: “And we’re not sure why. We know Christy Matthews wanted to face Ace Marshall again, at least, that’s what we’ve heard her say in the past. She could’ve had it. We’re hoping to get word with her. Spirit Dansby is looking for her. But talk about a shocker.”

Knots: “And Lexi von Aaron could be the saddest. Those shots AJ took.”

Sharper: “Oh stop it!”

Ravyn Taylor vs. Kennedy Street

SCW Television Championship

Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes.

“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”

The song gets stuck on the word, and is then interrupted by the deep sound of the voice of Marilyn Manson.

“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face. She’s dressed in ring gear that includes her normal ring jacket covering a small, revealing bra top and a pair of skin tight hot-pants with the words ‘BAD GIRL’ across the back. She stops on the stage, twirling for the camera almost mockingly.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, on her way to the ring, from Malibu, California, she is the challenger, representing Dark Fantasy, the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor.”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments she starts to make her way down to ringside and then steps up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the apron before vaulting over the top turnbuckle and rolling back to her feet. She walks over to the far corner of the ring, stepping on to the middle turnbuckle and removes her ring jacket, looking down at herself with a look of admiration before stepping off the turnbuckle again. She folds the jacket up and places it in the corner before dropping to a seated position, looking up at the referee and shaking her head as he tries to tell her to get to her feet so he can pat her down. Instead she just ushers him away with her hand, continuing to sit in the corner.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor came out earlier and challenged Dante McCaffery if you will in their chess match. Kennedy Street approached her instead and made clear where she stands.”

Knots: “Doesn’t trust her and doesn’t want Ravyn playing her own games.”

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor made it clear that Kennedy’s the one who needs the trust. A bit of extra sizzle to this Television Championship match as they rekindle their revival, just weeks before they’ll need to be tag partners at Tactical Warfare!”

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

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

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

Sharper: “Let’s not forget this is for the SCW Television Championship. This may be Kennedy’s toughest test yet.”

Knots: “And Ravyn has had her number…oh God…come on Kennedy. You can do this!”

The bell sounds. Ravyn pulls herself up. Kennedy steps forward. They circle the ring. Ravyn and Kennedy lunge at one another and lock up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another and Kennedy pushes Ravyn backs and over to the corner. Kennedy continues to push back, the referee calls for the break.

Kennedy steps back. Ravyn looks at her. Kennedy backs away as Ravyn looks at her. She steps up and Kennedy then sets up again and they lock up again in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another and Kennedy gets the advantage again, but Ravyn then drops back and throws Kennedy into the corner. Kennedy turns. Ravyn gets up and forearms her in the jaw. She staggers out and Ravyn forearms her again.

Sharper: “Kennedy has the strength with those legs, but Ravyn dropped down and used her leverage, now has the advantage.”

Knots: “Even going at her in the corner!”

Ravyn kicks Kennedy in the ribs and moves her to the ropes before firing her across. She bounces off and Ravyn hits a back elbow. Kennedy hits the mat. Ravyn then hits an elbow drop and goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Hard kick, down goes Ravyn!”

Knots: “Caught her right in the face too. Just now turn the kick around and make sure you get all of it and you got her!”

Ravyn gets up and Kennedy hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex. Kennedy floats over for the pin.

Ravyn kicks out. She rolls over and starts to get up and Kennedy grabs her and forearms her in the jaw. Ravyn falls to the ropes. Kennedy then fires her across. Ravyn bounces off and Kennedy hits a back drop. Ravyn slowly gets up and Kennedy hits a standing dropkick. Ravyn hits the mat and moves over to the corner. Kennedy walks after her and kicks her in the ribs. She then climbs up to the middle rope. She then nails her with a couple of hard forearm shots as the referee calls for the break.

Sharper: “Kennedy hammering away on Ravyn in the corner.”

Knots: “Making sure Ravyn reconsiders what she said earlier.”

Sharper: “They’re going at it with one another. High level of competition, but PUNK HAZARD has to love this.”

Kennedy hops down before grabbing Ravyn and whipping her across hard. Ravyn hits the opposite corner hard and staggers forward and Kennedy scoops her up and slams her down with a powerslam. She hooks the leg.

The crowd ohs. Kennedy rolls over, holding her head and neck and Ravyn turns and jumps up and hits a rocker dropper.

Sharper: “Kennedy driven into the mat, face first.”

Knots: “Not her face!”

Sharper: “First the back of her head, and then the front. Ravyn Taylor making sure Kennedy Street may not be able to put much more of a defense up.”

Ravyn Taylor turns and rolls her over and hooks the leg.

Kennedy kicks out. Ravyn gets up and grabs Kennedy. She pulls her up and wrenches the arm and hits a Russian leg sweep. She then gets up and turns and rolls her over. She then grabs Kennedy’s arms and locks in a straight-jacket camel clutch. The crowd roars. Ravyn keeps pulling back. Kennedy shakes her head no. She looks around as Ravyn keeps pulling back.

Ravyn tries to synch it in, but Kennedy blocks it and bit and manages to move her arm enough to lift Ravyn up and counters with a powerbomb. Ravyn holds on still and Kennedy lifts it up and hits a sitout powerbomb. The crowd ohs.

She turns around and Kennedy jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. Ravyn hits the mat. Kennedy gets up and turns and goes to the corner. She climbs up to the top rope and looks back at Ravyn. She then takes a moment before diving back and going for a moonsault, but Ravyn gets her knees up. The crowd ohs and Kennedy rolls over, holding her ribs in pain.

Sharper: “Kennedy went for the moonsault! Ravyn got her knees up.”

Ethan walks over to her and asks her what she’s doing. Kennedy just continues to head to the back. Ravyn continues to celebrate.

Knots: “Ethan even telling her to clock Ravyn. Part of me was hoping she would.”

Sharper: “Kennedy returning to the back. Ravyn having her moment, but where is Dante McCaffery.”

Knots: “Not time to play the piece yet, I guess.”

Ravyn keeps celebrating as Kennedy heads to the back as Ethan von Aaron keeps following her and trying to get through to Kennedy as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and we open up to see Kennedy Street walking backstage, heading back to her locker room with Ethan von Aaron.

Kennedy: “Ethan! I’m not going to just clock her because she beat me.”

Ethan: “Why not? It’ll make you feel better. Make sure she knows she’s not better than you!”

Kennedy: “I’m not going to do that.”

Ethan: “Come on. You had your redemption. Proved you were a champion! If that doesn’t get the job done and get you a new contract, then you know what, screw it. Go somewhere else. Go make another place the top promotion!”

Kennedy: “Ethan. I’m not leaving. I’m competing at Retribution. I’m going to be in the Tactical Warfare. I’m going to take tonight, take it for what it is…Ravyn was better than me….again.”

Kennedy pauses.

Kennedy: “But I’m not going to just return to being a spoiled bitch because I lost. I’m better than that!”

Ethan: “Keenie!”

Kennedy stops and turns.

Kennedy: “And don’t call me that.”

Kennedy continues on her way before stopping and entering her locker room. She steps in and Ethan just stops outside of the door. A few moments pass.

Kennedy: “God damn it!”

Ethan steps into the room, clearly not caring about whether anyone else is around.

Ethan: “Kennedy?!”

He steps over to her and we see Kennedy Street’s bags opened with her clothes strewn about.

Ethan: “Oh Mr. D…he’s going to hear about this.”

Kennedy: “Ethan, it was PUNK HAZARD probably-“

Ethan: “I don’t care. He’s hearing from me!”

Ethan storms out of the room.

Kennedy: “Ethan!”

Ethan leaves the locker room. Kennedy sighs as she turns back and grabs a shirt of hers before throwing it down.

We then cut to another arena in the building. Spirit Dansby is standing with Christy Matthews.

Spirit: “I am here with Christy Matthews, still the Adrenaline Champion, but you got yourself disqualified-“

Christy: “I did. You act surprised.”

Spirit: “We know you wanted to face Ace Marshall. Then again, you were happy to take the draw at Hazardous Envy. But you had what you wanted. Not just Ace Marshall, but a surefire path to the semi-finals.”

Christy: “And you think that’s what I wanted. Some time again, sure, but I was younger, more immature…and flying far more under the radar. See, I could go to Retribution. I could have won tonight, beaten AJ Helms, ruined his hopes and dreams and then piles on all of the failure Ace Marshall will have to deal with by not getting his hands on that jackass Shilo before doing whatever he hopes to do…oh and then beat whoever was in the finals, but that was before Tactical Warfare and a family fights together. I wasn’t sure if AJ was going to make it, but he has his chance. He can fight for the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament mantle. And I’ll fight alongside my family…PUNK HAZARD….”

Spirit: “But the Adrenaline Title is not in the semifinals or the finals if AJ Helms is successful in his matches while on this Japanese tour.”

Christy: “Is that the case?”

Christy smirks and shrugs.

Christy: “I guess the tournament will end Happily Never After…”

Christy smirks and heads off. Spirit shakes her head watching Christy leave.

Ace Marshall vs. Dark Ninja Jr.

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

The violins of After life by Avenged Seven fold hit as Smoke fills the entrance. Dark Ninja jr. steps out the entrance "Are you ready for the match of the night?" He says before too sweeting the camera. He is wearing a Black leather jacket with neon green pieces of fabric hanging from the arms. Over his ring gear which is black t-shirt that has a picture of Dave meltzer on it. And black and green wrestling pants. Around his waist is wearing the WAS Turbo Omni Magnificent Title belt. As he walks to the ring with a smug egotistical expression that is mostly hidden from beneath his mask. As he walks to the ring he gives fans high fives and too sweets to those that throw it up. When he reaches the ring he climbs the rings steps leaps up on to the top rope and does a 450 and lands on his feet. "Doug your gonna love this shit" He says to the camera with a chuckle. Before shrugging and then throwing a superkick at the camera but stopping just before hed hit it.

Sharper: “Dark Ninja Jr. about to have his final match in the tournament. A solid run, but not as successful as he wants.”

Knots: “But he can do one good thing. Cause Ace to lose! He loses and it could be over for him. AJ still needs to go the distance, but at least then it’s on AJ and Ace may have to sit on the sidelines!”

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

ADRENALIZE ME

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

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Toxic Extravaganza, Ace Marshall!"

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

The bell sounds. Dark Ninja Jr just nods and Ace watches him. Ninja then runs across and jumps up and goes for a spinning heel kick. Ace ducks and spins around. Ninja stops and turns around and Ace nails him with a hard right. Dark Ninja staggers back and Ace nails him again and again. He whips him across. Ninja flips hard into the corner and falls back. Ace looks at him oddly as Ninja gets up and Ace just kicks him in the ribs and hits a vertical suplex. He goes for the pin.

Ninja kicks out. He crawls over to the ropes. Ace walks after him and Dark Ninja gets up and back kicks Ace in the ribs.

Sharper: “Dark Ninja Jr. can fly and at this point, Ace needs to win here to keep his hopes alive.”

Knots: “Yeah, but that kick took all the air out of him.”

Ninja then kicks Ace in the chest and jumps up with a dropkick. Ace rolls over and gets up and Ninja grabs him and clubs him in the back before spinning him around into the corner. He jumps up and hits a pump kick to the jaw. Ace falls out. Ninja then jumps up and hits a split-legged moonsault onto Ace. He goes for the pin.

Ace kicks out. He rolls over. Ninja gets up and watches as he runs into the ropes. He bounces off and jumps up with a high knee. Ace falls to the ropes. Ninja then runs over and hits a dropkick, knocking Ace up and over the top rope to the floor. Ace slowly gets up on the floor. Ninja turns and exits to the apron. He looks at Ace and Ninja runs forward and hits a shooting star press off the apron and onto Ace. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Off the apron! Dark Ninja Jr just took down Ace Marshall with a hell of a shooting star press.”

Knots: “Well that’s one thing he has going for him. He’s nuts, so he’ll do anything!”

Ninja gets up on the floor. Ace looks up at the lights before Ninja grabs him and lifts him up and turns and rolls him into the ring. Ace remains down and Ninja hops onto the apron and climbs up to the top rope. He then looks at Ace who remains down and goes for a 450 splash. Ace rolls out of the way. Ninja hits hard.

He turns to Ninja and Ninja gets up and runs over and jumps to the middle turnbuckle. Ace boots him in the face. He falls back and Ace dives off with the Air Marshall. The crowd applauds.

Sharper: “The elbow right into the heart of Dark Ninja!”

Knots: “Ace took flight and actually hit.”

Sharper: “Now a cover!”

Ace hooks the leg.

Dark Ninja gets his shoulder up. He starts to get up and Ace gets up and turns and grabs him. He lifts him up, but Ninja kicks him in the ribs and rakes his eyes. He runs into the ropes. Ace goes for a clothesline. Ninja ducks and jumps to the middle rope and dives back and goes for a tornado DDT. He hits it and Ace rolls over in pain. Dark Ninja turns and climbs up to the top rope. He stands up on the top and dives off with a moonsault. Ace rolls out of the way. Ninja hits the mat. He starts to get up and Ace runs out and nails him with the One Eyed Royal. The crowd ohs. Ace goes for the pin.

The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, Ace Marshall!”

Sharper: “Ace Marshall gets the win and now has a spot in the semi-finals!”

Knots: “Damn it! Dark Ninja Jr….why couldn’t you just take him out!”

Sharper: “Ace Marshall knows what he’s doing for Retribution.”

Knots: “Maybe Shilo Valiant can return and kick his ass or something?!”

Ace Marshall gets up and has his arm raised. He looks around as Cassidy enters the ring. Dark Ninja rolls over in pain as Ace Marshall listens to his music. Cassidy raises his arm too. The two then stand in the ring victorious before we head to backstage.

We see a shot of Ravyn Taylor down backstage. We see what appears to be a couple of plastic bangles, broken down on the ground around her. Ravyn Taylor holds her head as she stirs. Officials checking on her. We also see “PH” written on her back and on the TV Championship. The camera scans the room as officials try to get the cameraman back. We also see Alex Drake of all people present and checking on Ravyn Taylor.

Sharper: “Someone got to Ravyn…we see the PH.”

Knots: “Dante with his hit. No celebration for her!”

Sharper: “Dante McCaffery going crude it seems. Just attacking her presumably when she came in with some sort of plastic item.”

Knots: “I’ve seen those before…I don’t know where.”

Sharper: “I can’t wait for all of this to be done.”

Knots: “Well how is Ravyn going to respond?”

Sharper: “What the hell is Alex Drake doing there? Not even booked on this tour!”

Knots: “Cares about her! Just like CHBK to do so!”

Sharper: “Give me a break!”

Ravyn stirs as Drake is pushed back by some of the officials checking on her. We then fade to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up backstage to see Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason standing by with Spirit Dansby.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I am here with the B&B Experience, Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason. Later tonight, you will be in action against the Sisterhood in our main event, but it has been a busy and noteworthy few days for both of you. Neither of you were able to win the Trios Tournament this past Saturday and Bree, you’ve been involved in a bit of controversy and you revealed that you were in a pictorial for Playboy and-“

Blake: “And none of that is particularly important at the moment. Tonight, we have an opportunity to showcase one thing that Selena Frost and Kelcey Wallace are completely unable to match…our ability to compete in the ring as a team. Kelcey Wallace may be Perfection, but let’s face it, she barely trusts Selena and they can tweet all they want, but it’s not going to change the fact that Selena knows Kelcey is looking at the World Title over her shoulder and that Selena used Kelcey to get to us. Revenge is a poor look for both of them and we’ll not only show them that they’re in out of their depth, but this is just the beginning of the end. Sisterhood may want their Tag Title shot. We’ll show we’re better than them. And then on Kelcey and Selena’s own battlefield, we’ll leave them both laying…maybe for good….”

Bree just looks away, clearly allowing Blake to take the lead.

Spirit: “Again, you threaten them with piledrivers? Do you have-“

Blake: “I never said anything like that. I have in the past. It may be on table, but you get respect one of two ways…success or fear. I may as well act for both. And there is a long list of people who frankly deserve to be put down by us for meddling in our business or standing in our way or thinking they matter to us. Kelcey and Selena are front and center, but let’s not forget Lexi….or Brett or-“

Bree: “Or Sienna.”

Bree steps forward. Blake looks at Bree. Spirit turns to her.

Bree: “Selena worked oh so quickly to take up her mantle, but Sienna is not only happy to snipe from the sidelines, but she doesn’t even want to get her hands on us. Yeah, we had a go last Saturday, but despite all of that anger and her apparently hating my guts, she’s not taken an issue to Selena taking her spot. Or what about Kelcey…turning to Selena instead of her. Yeah, she was at one point a good candidate to being about as good as a doorframe both in terms of her build and in terms of her ability to move, but give me a break. She’s happy to stay on the sidelines and call me out…No….That cowardly bitch-“

Bree turns and heads off camera. Spirit looks around a bit confused as Blake steps over.

Blake: “Bree…relax-“

Bree responds from off camera.

Bree: “No!”

Bree turns back and with her phone in her hand. She then pull them up.

Bree: “Yeah, I was in talks to do something with Playboy when they assured me that there would be no nudity. But then they pulled this switch, and I’m not too happy, but she wants to make fun of me, call me out. The hypocrite, the coward, has to do it on twitter from the other side of the world, well how about this!”

Bree turns and holds up a picture on her phone of Sienna Swann from a fashion shoot, showing her with no bottoms, while kneeling.

Bree: “How about this? She just likes to hang her ass out. Playboy may be too classy for her. And she’s tweeted some of these out.”

Bree then swipes on her phone. She goes to show it, only briefly showing, but the camera cuts to Bree’s head only.

Bree: “Or this? A sloppy handbra, hoping that she can get some pimply nerd, sitting in his gaming chair, hand on the mouse, the other hand who knows where, just so he can feel like he matters while he plays his Warcraft or Starcrap or whatever they do instead of getting a job and functioning in society!”

Bree swipes again.

Spirit: “Alright-“

Bree: “What? You love to give everyone a show. Don’t think your ass and tits are all over the internet. Come on Sienna. Let’s call a spade a spade. You’re just jealous that in one magazine, I’d be more of a success than your entire fraudulent fashion career would be…and I’d make that rag classier than anything you’d ever done. That’s right….you’re just a stage away from being in the porn mags anyways. I hear Penthouse was calling, right? You’d rather have everyone think of you that way!”

Blake: “Alright, Bree-“

Spirit: “Look, this is not appropriate. We can’t show any-“

Bree: “What? She’s your friend. Don’t like me showing your friend for what she is? Someone who needs to show her boney ass just so people take notice. I mean, who’s next to challenge for the Women’s Title?”

Spirit: “We’re told an announcement will be coming next week.”

Bree: “Oh yeah. Convenient! Well, you know what, you’re more than a friend. You share the same vision as her. Your ass hanging out. I saw the pictures Sienna tweeted of the two of you. In your bikini. Probably why someone hired you.”

Spirit: “How dare-“

Bree: “How dare I? You’re probably judging me just standing here. No doubt someone thought it was a cruel joke having you interview us when you’re beneath us as is. But that’s fine. Here…Spirit. I’ll help you out. Give you a reason to get up tomorrow with all of the Japanese fans fawning over you and you can stand in solidarity with Sienna, showing your body putting all women back. You seem more comfortable that way anyways! Probably started out as a stripper – Hell, Sienna even did that on camera here in SCW! Is that how you met?!”

Bree then grabs Spirit by her dress and pulls on it.

Spirit: “Hey! Get off me.”

Blake just stands back, realizing Bree is making a point.

Bree: “Even cheap fabric. You must go shopping with your BFF!”

Bree pulls and jerks her down, ripping the dress strap. She then pulls on the dress.

Sharper: “Hey! Come on now! Someone help her!”

Bree then rips the dress and Spirit rolls over, covering herself as she’s only wearing a black bra and panties. Bree then grabs her by the hair.

Bree: “Come on. Show the world. This is how you’d rather be seen. Sienna too. This is all you are to the world and you’re proud of it. Even more useless than [bleep] on a bull.”

She throws Spirit down as she holds her hair. The cameraman heads over to check on her, putting the camera down.

Bree: “Come on Blake. I just feel dirty standing here.”

Blake: “Happily.”

Blake and Bree head off as we cut to ringside.

We open up to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table. Knots just shakes his head.

Sharper: “Unbelievable. Bree Lancaster going on a tirade.”

Knots: “Look, it’s Playboy. I read it for the articles. Not so bad if she’s in there.”

Sharper: “Not the point Jon.”

Knots: “Well…we know where she’s stood. She thinks women can be alluring without needing to show everything off.”

Sharper: “She just manhandled Spirit Dansby, humiliating her, and Sienna…”

Knots: “Look. I disagree both with it and with Bree’s point. If a woman wants to show off what she has, all for it. Women should be able to show off their sexuality and their bodies and the beauty. Look at Kennedy! I just get Bree’s point, even if I disagree!”

Sharper: “Showing off photos of Sienna from her fashion shoots to make her point. Bree has been off the page since she found out about the change at Playboy and Spirit…she not only didn’t deserve that, but so what if she’s her friend. She’s a professional, damn good at her job and to suggest she’s been hired because she looks good, that’s insulting! That puts women back, Bree.”

Knots shrugs.

Scarlett Pearson vs. Lexi von Aaron

Indecent Proposal

The opening to “Holy Virgin” by Groove Coverage hits as the entrance fills with smoke. Lexi is wearing a flowing long black robe over a t-shirt that reads "property of AJ Helms." She is wearing black red wrestling booty like shorts with black straps and on her arms black sleeves, along with red wrestling boots with an array of black straps like her trunks. As she walks to the ring Lexi has a look of smug ignorant confidence. She steps slowly to the ring to the song.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a fifteen minute contest and is an unsanctioned match. If Lexi von Aaron wins, she will accompany and stay with AJ Helms for the remainder of the tour. If Scarlett Pearson wins, Lexi von Aaron must stop with any interaction with AJ Helms. First, on her way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California, she is Lexi von Aaron!”

When Lexi makes her way to the ring she slowly walks up the steps taking her time as she does. She steps through the middle rope and then does a spin and then points to her breasts/the words "Property of AJ” and starts to yell at the crowd.

Sharper: “You heard Jason Phillips. This match is unsanctioned. That said, handshake deal if you will between Scarlett and Lexi.”

Knots: “SCW wasn’t going to sanction a match where Lexi von Aaron could be allowed to sexually harass AJ Helms, but Scarlett, Lexi and AJ in some way all agreeing by the end of last week.”

Sharper: “And Lexi has been waiting for this. Almost salivating.”

“Life @ 11” by A Day to Remember plays. A few moments pass before we see Scarlett Pearson walk out from the back in tights and a workout shirt. She looks down at the ring as Angyalka Cruze walks out with her. AJ Helms steps out too.

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by Angyalka Cruze & AJ Helms, she is from Hollywood Hills, California, Scarlett Pearson!”

Scarlett starts to head to the ring as Angyalka Cruze talks to her on her way down. AJ Helms just watches Lexi who licks her lips. They all head to the ring and Scarlett turns to AJ. Lexi walks over to the ropes.

Lexi: “Scarlett! Kiss him goodbye! All mine after tonight! Hold me back!”

Lexi then grabs the official and has him pretend to hold her back as AJ shakes his head. Scarlett pulls herself up onto the apron. Angyalka says something to her. Pearson slowly enters and looks at Lexi. Lexi backs up as the official makes sure Scarlett is ready.

Sharper: “AJ Helms out here to support Scarlett. Angyalka Cruze training Scarlett too to get her prepared. She has had some in-ring training, but let’s be fair, it’s not to the level of Lexi.”

Knots: “Yeah and now she has to have the biggest match of her life!”

Sharper: “And her relationship. Angyalka here just for this match. She will fly around the world to join her husband in the European tour.”

Scarlett looks at Lexi as Lexi smiles. She starts to yell at the official, telling him to ring the bell. He checks on both before the bell sounds. The crowd looks on as Scarlett circles. Lexi walks around too. Scarlett then runs over and goes for a hard right. Lexi ducks and jogs off. She smiles and turns around before shaking her head. Scarlett turns around and goes for another hard right. Lexi dodges that and walks around. Lexi then just steps up to Scarlett.

Lexi: “You don’t have a chance-“

Scarlett then nails Lexi with a hard right hand. She hits the mat. The crowd roars. Scarlett then drops down and mounts Lexi and nails her with a series of hard forearm shots to the jaw. The crowd looks on as Lexi covers up and moves over towards the ropes. Scarlett keeps holding on, trying to hammer away.

Sharper: “Scarlett Pearson hammering away. Lexi a bit too arrogant!”

Knots: “And she’s just pounding her with hard shots. She needs to be careful though. She could be disqualified!”

Sharper: “And then Lexi gets her time with AJ.”

Knots: “Ha!”

Lexi moves to the ropes and Scarlett nails Lexi a couple more times as the referee tells her to get off. Scarlett nails her again and again before the referee actually pulls her off. She staggers back and goes to go around the referee, but the referee makes sure he gets her attention and reprimands her. Lexi starts to get up and she holds her lip, which is bleeding. Scarlett then moves past the official and Lexi suddenly hits a vicious back kick to the jaw. Scarlett falls back. The crowd ohs. Lexi then moves over and Scarlett stirs and AJ looks on with great concern. Lexi then kicks her in the ribs and then again and again. She then stands over Scarlett before grabbing her as Scarlett holds her ribs. Lexi smacks her.

Lexi: “You don’t stand in the way of my AJ!”

Lexi then steps forward and smiles before blowing a kiss to AJ. AJ just turns away. Lexi turns around and Scarlett gets up and goes to grab Lexi. She grabs Scarlett and pulls her up by the hair and then throws her down with a hair-flip snapmare. Scarlett rolls over.

Knots: “That is just scary…and nuts…both!”

Sharper: “Like a switch flipped .She’s wanted this for months. And Scarlett, showing her inexperience, but also how emotional this is. Lexi too. And just thrown across the ring!”

Scarlett starts to get up and Lexi walks over and grabs her by the arm and hooks it around the top rope. She then kicks Scarlett in the ribs and then again and again, yelling at her and insulting her. She then pulls on the arm.

Lexi turns and snaps at the official.

Lexi: “You stay out of my way too!”

Lexi turns and Scarlett takes Lexi down with a double leg takedown. She then folds Lexi up for a pin.

Lexi kicks out. She rolls over and Scarlett gets up and cuffs Lexi in the back of the head. She cuffs her again. She then spins her around and scoops her up and slams Lexi down. Scarlett moves over to the corner. She then sits up on the top turnbuckle. Angyalka cheers her on before Scarlett dives off and hits a splash onto Lexi.

Lexi kicks out. Both get up and Scarlett grabs Lexi and pulls her in, but Lexi blocks it and nails her in the ribs and then again and again. She then lifts her up and hits a release northern lights suplex. Scarlett rolls over. Lexi gets up and looks at Scarlett as she starts to get up and turns and hits a vicious basement dropkick. The crowd ohs. Scarlett falls back.

Sharper: “Lexi stops Scarlett and just nails her in the face.”

Knots: “And now she’s laughing at her.”

Lexi points and laughs as the crowd boos a bit. Scarlett holds her face as AJ tries to support Scarlett. Lexi just turns around and grabs Scarlett and pulls her up before hooking her up and hitting an armbreaker DDT. The crowd ohs. Lexi then turns and stands over Scarlett’s arm.

Lexi: “Not much longer AJ!”

Scarlett then suddenly rolls her up in a school boy.

Lexi kicks out. Both get up and Lexi turns back to Scarlett, but Scarlett blasts her with a vicious clothesline. The crowd applauds and Lexi gets up and Scarlett looks back and then hits a backflip kick!

Sharper: “Wake Up Call! Scarlett hitting a move out of AJ’s playbook!”

Knots: “AJ even jumped up from that!”

Sharper: “And now Scarlett grabbing Lexi!”

Lexi stirs as Scarlett grabs her. She pulls her up and then hooks her head. She then looks around before going for the NJNB, but Lexi pushes her off. Scarlett turns around and Lexi nails her with a superkick. The crowd ohs. Scarlett rolls over. She reaches up and tries to grab Lexi, but Lexi then shoves her back. She rolls over and Lexi lunges and hits the Operation LeX. The crowd ohs as Scarlett falls back. Lexi then smiles as she’s on the mat. She then turns and looks at AJ before touching her arm. AJ just looks away. Scarlett however reaches around, trying to show some sign of life. Lexi then sees this before stomping her in the back.

Lexi: “Fine! I’ll do it in a way AJ would love! FOR YOU AJ!”

Lexi turns to AJ as she grabs Scarlett and pulls her up. She then hooks her head. She then hits the NJNB on Scarlett. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “No! The NJNB!”

Knots: “It’s happening! It’s happening!”

Angyalka just looks on stunned as AJ turns away. Lexi hooks Scarlett’s leg.

The bell sounds. Lexi rolls off and jumps up and down. She then runs over to the ropes and drops down, sliding to the floor. AJ rolls into the ring to check on Scarlett. Lexi tries to grab him, but falls over as she then gets up and rolls in after. Angyalka goes over too. AJ ignores Lexi as Lexi then heads over and grabs him.

Sharper: “Lexi von Aaron wins the match. She will now join AJ for the remainder of this tour.”

Knots: “Including hotel room!”

Sharper: “Oh God…and AJ just wants to check on Scarlett!”

Knots: “Screw her! You’ve upgraded! You have Lexi1”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Lexi then heads over and grabs AJ. AJ shoves her back. Lexi steps back before turning and running over and kissing him on his cheek. She grabs AJ and starts to pull him away. AJ just keeps looking at Scarlett. Lexi keeps pulling AJ back. We then cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage as we see Lexi grabbing AJ and dragging him reluctantly through the backstage area. Lexi still has her gear on.

AJ: “Lexi, this is for-“

Lexi: “No silly. I’m with you from here on out. This is the start of our fate! Now! Get your stuff. We’re going back to the hotel!”

AJ: “I want to check on Scarlett-“

Lexi: “Don’t you ever mention that name around me. If you do…well…”

Lexi then spanks AJ. AJ turns away, clearly uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.

Lexi: “I’ll have to punish you….Okay…now…come on!”

AJ just looks around and Lexi runs around him and starts to push him down the hallway. AJ just looks up as we cut away.

Merrick Wiseman vs. Katie Steward

Justice... Will Be Done’.

The lone riffs of a single guitar echo the familiar chords that herald the entrance of SCW`s peacekeeper before we hear a voice begin that fateful entrance.

Phillips: Introducing first, from Sanctuary, Texas and weighing in at 221 pounds... Merrick Wiseman!

From the curtain emerges Merrick Wiseman. His head down, his long coat waving a little, the camera closing in for a second on the light playing on his silver Texas Ranger badge, and his hands tracing along his guns.

Merrick slowly raises his head, showing his masked face. He suddenly draws one of his pistols and fires into the air and at the ring apron down the ramp.

As he walks down the ramp, Wiseman keeps his eyes focused on the ring and for any signs of trouble. Meanwhile, he reaches into his belt, taking out bullet after bullet and reloading his gun. Just about when he is done, he has reached the ring and loads the barrel. Wiseman pulls back the hammer and suddenly crouches down and pulls up the ring apron, pointing his gun inside.

Standing up, he twirls his gun and puts it back in the holster. He walks up the stairs, slowly taking off his gun belt, which he leaves draped over the back of the turnbuckle. He takes off his coat, placing it on the metal pole. He gets into the ring and raises his hands for the referee to make sure he isn’t carrying anymore bullets or guns. The ref clears him and he takes off his hat slowly for the audience before tossing it cleanly on the pole. Merrick leans on the ropes staring at what awaits him in the ring.

Sharper: One half of Tainted Justice, Merrick Wiseman, out here and ready to fight. You know he has to be upset after coming so close at Trios yet not winning a contract.

Knots: He shouldn't be upset, he should be scared. Did you see how mad Bree Lancaster was after Wiseman took the pin? She nearly singlehandedly won the whole tournament, scored both pinfalls to get to the finals... only to lose because of this guy. Watch your back, Merrick!

Sharper: And she may be mad but she's in the main event later tonight, likely preparing rather than watching this.

Knots: We'll see.

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

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

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

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

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

Knots: Here's someone else who's likely not happy about Trios, Katie's team being eliminated in the first round. She didn't eat the pin though, Blake Mason did, so she has that going for her at least.

Sharper: I'm sure both of these competitors are looking to rebuild some momentum here tonight with a win.

Knots: Could you be any more boring? Here, let me try... both these losers are trying to save face after being humiliated at Trios!

Sharper: Stop it!

**DING**DING**DING**

Katie immediately rushes Merrick, knowing that he has the size advantage over her and looking to get a head start. She jumps up looking to hit a knee smash right away, but Wiseman sidesteps her and she lands on her feet behind him. As she turns, Merrick shakes his head at her, then calls for a lockup. Fuming that her bumrush didn't work, Katie goes for the lockup, but at the last second grabs Merrick's arm and heaves with all her strength throwing him with a hip toss. He is almost immediately back to his feet though, where he is met with Katie's Goddess Scream right into his face!

Sharper: That'll pierce some eardrums.

Knots: And curdle milk, likely.

Wiseman cringes, and as soon as the scream fades, he cocks back and slaps Katie across the face. She turns from the impact, holding her cheek.

Knots: How dare he slap his Goddess like that?!

Sharper: I thought he was an atheist.

Knots: No one is an atheist when the Goddess of Desire is in the ring, everyone is a believer!

The slap angered Katie enough to finally enter a lock up with Merrick, and he makes quick work of backing her into the corner. He rears his arm back to clothesline her, but Katie drops down and scoots under and through Wiseman's legs, then stands back up behind him. Wiseman spins around, to be caught with a boot to the chest. He falls back. Katie presses her boot to Merrick's throat.

1!

2!

3!

4!

Katie drops her foot and backs up before the ref DQ's her. Wiseman, rubbing his throat a little where Steward's boot was pressing, stalks towards her. Katie can see that all her choke did was manage to piss him off, and she backs away. Wiseman isn't having that though, and he lunges forward, grabs her arm and whips her into the ropes, following. Looking for that clothesline still, Wiseman swings hard. But instead of bouncing off the ropes and meeting Wiseman's arm, Katie has dropped down and pulled the top rope down with her, causing Wiseman to tumble over the top and onto the mats. TJ cheers from the apron on the other side of the ring.

Sharper: Quick thinking by the veteran there. But she can't win this if Wiseman is out the outside.

Knots: She is a genius, Adam. She'll find a way!

Katie Steward gets back to her feet and looks down at Wiseman on the outside, a smug grin on her face. Wiseman gets to his feet and glares up at her. Katie backs up, motioning a 'come on' gesture. Wiseman hesitantly gets up on the apron, never taking his eyes off of Katie. She doesn't attack though, but allows Merrick to get back in before the ref even counts to two. As soon as he has both feet planted inside the ropes though Katie springs into action and hits her running knee smash. Wiseman falls back against the ropes. Steward grabs his arm while he's still stunned and whips him across the ring. Wiseman catches his balance on the rebound and instead of whatever Katie had planned, he finally nails that clothesline on his third attempt. Steward goes down flat on her back. Wiseman goes over to her and lands a few stomps before going for a pin.

1!

2!

Katie gets her shoulder up. Wiseman lands an elbow to keep her down, then gets back to his feet. He swings his foot back to kick her in the ribs, but Katie catches his leg and pulls, taking him down to the mat face first next to her. Steward gets to her feet and replays the stomps in kind, laying her boot into Wiseman's back and shoulders. He manages to roll over and away from her attack.

Sharper: Both Wiseman and Steward getting some hard shots in, Wiseman with the near fall there.

Knots: Please, it'll take more than that to keep Katie Steward down. Because of things like that!

Knots is referring to the fact that as Wiseman gets to his feet, a little wobbly, and turns to face Katie, he is met with her boot to his jaw! The Most Beautiful Superkick Ever sends Wiseman flat on his back and Katie drops down for the cover, hooking his leg.

1!

2!

Wiseman shoves Katie off. Katie fumes and both get back to their feet. Wiseman looks at Steward as if he's already had enough, Holding his jaw, Wiseman backs towards the ropes, and flips himself over the top, dropping down to the floor. He shakes his head, waving his hand at the ring and Katie.

Sharper: What is he doing? Is Wiseman leaving the match?

Knots: Yes! Even he knows he can't overcome the Goddess and her dominance!

The referee starts to count.

1!

Katie starts screaming from the ring. “Get back in here! Face me like a man!” Wiseman shakes his head at her, and turns around to keep walking to the back.

2!

Katie is livid. “At least do me the honor of laying down like you did for Chastaine!” This causes Wiseman to pause a step, but then he keeps going.

3!

Just then the crowd murmurs, some cheers and some boos.

4!

Sharper: Oh look, the Steward Brigade is here.

Knots: I think you mean the Brat Pack. And they're here to do Wiseman's job for him, enforce rules!

Gigi Steward and Maddy Steward have appeared from the back and storm down the ramp, blocking Wiseman's progress.

5!

They point at the ring and yell at him to go back. Gigi mouths off first. “You aren't getting off that easy! Go bow to your Goddess!” Wiseman glares at both of them, while being forced to walk backwards back towards the ring.

6!

Katie just smirks during all this and soon enough Wiseman's back is against the ring, Gigi and Maddy in his face. He raises his forearm, threatening them if they don't back up.

7!

Sharper: Gigi and Maddy need to be careful here, they could cause Katie to be disqualified.

Knots: They're too smart for that, come on! They want Katie to win this.

Sharper: And Wiseman is a sitting duck for this, with Vixen Cain on the UK Tour roster and not here to help.

Knots: Kind of a shame Tainted Justice were split for these tours, but hey, we get to see this happen, so it's not all bad!

Gigi goes to throw a punch, but pulls back at the last second, faking Wiseman out. He doesn't appreciate the joke though and flings Gigi to the ground with a forearm! He looks over at Maddy and she starts backing away.

8!

Wiseman takes a step towards her and shoves her backwards anyway, and she nearly trips over Gigi who fell behind her.

9!

Noticing he is about to get counted out, Wiseman turns and slides back into the ring stopping the count. Merrick is barely back to his feet before Katie is on him. She grabs his arm and sends him across the ring. He tries to clothesline her on the rebound but she ducks, and when Wiseman spins to grab her to attempt a move, Katie grabs his head instead and drops him with a Hair-Flip DDT! She goes for the cover.

The referee calls for the bell as “Mercy on Me” begins to play. Katie rolls off and hops to her feet waiting for the ref to raise her arm.

Sharper: Looks like Wiseman let Gigi and Maddy distract him too much.

Knots: Those Steward girls are smart, I told you!

Wiseman rolls out of the ring, sulking and shaking his head as Gigi and Maddy Steward join Katie in the ring to celebrate her win.

“Immortals” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of the Sisterhood vs. B&B Experience.

Sharper: “After what we saw earlier, I hope Sisterhood are able to teach them a lesson! It’s our main event. The Sisterhood faces the B&B Experience, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

In the middle of the commercials, we then suddenly see something of interest to wrestling fans. We open up inside the one-room cabin we’ve seen multiple times before. We see a shot of the woman, face unable to be clearly seen, wearing now a dress shirt and walking over towards the camera, but her face gets cut off before we see it. She walks over to the figure by the desk and hugs them from behind. The figure gets up and nods before stepping past and we see them wearing track pants along with their hoodie as the scene ends. Regular commercials return afterwards.

Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my saviour
In my time of need

The lights in the arena go dim. The big screen flashes to life. An image of Angelica Jones followed by one of Kayla Jones and then the word “Sisterhood” appears on the tron. Pyro goes off and immediately following the pyro the lights come back on. Angelica Jones and her sister Kayla come running through the curtain and out onto the stage. The crowd roars as they look on applauding the Sisterhood. They look around and nod.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is your main event of the evening. First, on their way to the ring, both from Boston, Massachusetts, they are Kayla Jones and Angelica Jones, the Sisterhood!”

Angelica and Kayla look into each other’s eyes, nod, and then turn and begin to make their way with a determined stride towards the ring, taking time to slap the hands of a few fans along the way. Kayla slides into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and then she hops up onto the second turnbuckle, facing the crowd, and raising both arms up high in the air. Angelica, meanwhile, takes a sharp turn to the right and then ascends the steel steps, making her way up to the ring apron. She strolls slowly to the center before turning towards the audience. She looks out intensely at the crowd before posing with both arms raised high into the air. Angelica steps into the ring, joining her sister in the center as they await the start of the match.

Sharper: “Angelica Jones and Kayla Jones had to be watching earlier. I wonder what they’re thinking. AJ Helms could very well be in the semi-finals and the Sisterhood are on pins and needles wondering if they’ll get that title match.”

Knots: “AJ may have nothing left of him after Lexi gets done with him.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

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

Phillips: “And their opponents, first from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is Bree Lancaster. Her partner, from Boston, Massachusetts, Blake Mason, together they are the B&B Experience!”

She poses with one arm overhead, the other propped on her hip, flashing a bright yet smug smirk at the crowd. Blake k. Bree hops down and joins Blake. They are in the midst of going over last minute details until the match starts.

Knots: “Yeah. Kayla being the aggressor there for the Sisterhood. That’s new.’
