Breakdown - January 30, 2019

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

EARLIER TODAY:

We open up to see a shot of Katya walking up to the building with CHBK, Syren, who is holding the SCW World Championship, and Ravyn Taylor.

Sharper: “Earlier today, Katya arrived to take over control of SCW and matchmaking for the next four weeks. And she was greeted by her father.”

Knots: “And she’s arriving with the new World Champion, Syren.”

Katya stops as Mr. D walks over to the group of four people and then holds out a briefcase.

Mr. D: “Here you go. Good luck.”

Katya: “What’s this?”

Mr. D: “What you have to deal with.”

Katya takes the briefcase. Mr. D then looks at Syren, Ravyn and CHBK before just walking past them. Katya watches him leave before turning to the briefcase. She looks at it before then starting to head into the building. CHBK, Syren and Ravyn follow as the scene fades to black.

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

I'm thinking about the old me
'Cause I've been feeling empty
I never used to be so dead inside

Shots of Syren celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Beauty Factory standing tall in the ring. Following this is Aaron Blackbourne hitting the Unchained Creativity on an opponent. Katie Steward hitting the Off with her Head on Giovanni Aries at Retribution 2018 follows.

I think I lost my memory
I can't remember carefree
And all my days turn into fight or flight

Owen Cruze hitting the Cruze Stomp on an opponent follows before we see Selena Frost hitting the Glass Shard on Bree Lancaster. Bree Lancaster hitting the Classifier on Aaron Blackbourne follows before we see Scarlet Grey walking to the ring.

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

Kennedy Street hitting Dante McCaffery with the Touch of Class follows before we see James Evans and Angelica Jones holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Marie Jones standing on the ropes follows before we see Kandis swiveling her hips as part of her entrance. Derek Adonis holding up a copy of the KABLAMA Sutra follows.

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?

Chris Cannon covering Kennedy Street and Owen Cruze follows before we see a shot of Cassidy Carter dancing on her way to the ring, and then a shot of Regan Street and Datura swinging chairs at one another. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The camera pans across along with showing a steel cage hanging over the ring.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Atlanta as the Katya era is here. Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside. And Jon, there’s a steel cage hanging over the ring and we don’t know why.”

Knots: “I’m sure something nefarious. Katya has full control except seemingly a few things. We’ll see what she has in mind tonight!”

“Cult of Personality” starts to play as the crowd The crowd boos as a few moments pass before we see Katya walk out from the back. She starts to walk down to the ring with Syren walking out, holding the SCW World Championship. The crowd boos more as Ravyn Taylor, holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship, CHBK, Alexander Crowe, Marie Jones, Kim Williams, Autumn Valentine, Ryan Watson, Kandis, Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant all walk out with them. A few steps behind everyone, leading to more boos from the crowd is Christy Matthews. Katya continues to head to the ring, as the rest of the group head down with them.

Sharper: “There you see Katya with many of those who have supported her. Some notable absences and it’s not because they’re not here. Xander Valentine, who has that injured ankle thanks to Ikiro Yoshida, Casterillo, who is here tonight.”

Knots: “Well what you see in the ring is impressive enough. Also holding the World Championship and for the next four Breakdowns, Katya is calling the shots.”

Sharper: “Prepare for whatever this ride is.”

Katya walks over to the ring and steps through the ropes. Syren, Ravyn Taylor, CHBK and Alexander Crowe are next. Christy Matthews is the next one as she enters the ring and the crowd boos loudly. Marie, Kim, Kandis, Scarlet, Ruby, Autumn and Ryan all enter after. Katya then walks across and is handed a microphone. She takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. The boos continue as Katya looks around. The music fades out as Katya continues to look around the ring. Syren smirks as she straightens the title on her shoulder.

Katya: “You could show some appreciation for the woman with a vision and the people who helped ensure that vision would get a chance.”

The crowd boos more as Katya looks around.

Katya: “Never mind that standing around me is a collection of talent that is second to none, and including the reigning SCW Adrenaline Champion, Ravyn Taylor, and the NEW SCW World Champion, Syren.”

The crowd boos more as Syren and Ravyn stand smiling.

Katya: “And we have to take a moment to specifically thank one woman. Christy Matthews…”

The crowd boos some more as Christy smiles as Katya turns and walks over and shakes her hand. Christy then shakes Syren’s hand before turning to Ravyn. Ravyn extends her arms, as if going for a hug, and Christy obliges and the two embrace. The crowd boos some more.

Sharper: “Give me a break…”

Katya: “You proved that sometimes patience is the best method and don’t worry, because now, with me calling the shots these next four Breakdown’s, we’re going to make the changes necessary around here. And Christy, you will be rewarded for your patience, and your loyalty. When Ravyn informed me that you and her had merely been playing the long game in an effort to give a backup plan, I knew Making Things Right could be a night you were needed and thankfully you came through. And we’ve talked since then and you’ve made clear to me your desire to attempt to finally win the US Championship. So Christy, in two weeks, on Breakdown, you will get that opportunity!”

The crowd boos as Christy smiles. Katya turns to the crowd.

Katya: “But that’s not the only change. For example, people’s words will be their bond. If a challenge is accepted, then it will happen. And Marie Jones…”

Katya turns to Marie.

Katya: “We said that if you made sure that you put your best foot forward at End of the Year Special and you made an attempt to teach Sienna Swann a lesson, you would be rewarded. And you ensured that you were not going to waver. So Marie, next week, on this program, you will get your World Championship shot against Syren.”

Syren smiles as she turns and Marie beams. She turns to Syren and we can see Syren saying “Let the best woman win.” Marie nods as Kim just watches Marie. Katya then turns back to everyone.

Katya: “And we are going to make sure people get the opportunities they deserve. But there is one thing I feel we should talk about.”

Katya turns to Syren.

Katya: “Syren, you asked for something after Making Things Right. After having won the World Championship, you requested a match and it’s one I’m sympathetic too. I mean at Making Things Right, you proved you were one of the best in the world and yes, some have been critical of your actions last year, but to prove that you are motivated and deserving, you wanted to compete tonight. And you wanted to compete against the man who ruthlessly attacked CHBK with the help of his uncle, all out of jealousy and sore losing. Must have been something he learned from his father.”

The crowd roars a bit before booing Katya. CHBK shakes his head.

Katya: “And you may notice that there’s a steel cage hanging over the ring. Well, Syren, you’re going to get what you wanted. Tonight, in our main event, the first under my era, where we will showcase the best talent, but also make one pay for their consequences…you will face Owen Cruze in non-title action!”

The crowd roars and some boo.

Sharper: “Non-title…but Owen Cruze in a steel cage with Syren!”

Knots: “What else is planned in that one though! I can’t see it being that straight-forward!”

Syren smiles and nods as the crowd continues to roar.

Katya: “I hope you enjoy the new SCW. Fairness, opportunity, accountability...and with me proving that I can run and right this ship.”

The crowd boos before “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play. The crowd boos some more before we see Sienna Swann walk out from the back, with Laura Steinbeck, LEO and the Truelove Twins. They look down at the ring as Sienna has a microphone in her hand. She just glares at the ring as she brings the microphone to her mouth as her music fades out.

Sienna: “I just finished trying to avoid throwing up backstage listening to this pathetic display and we all know that Syren proved nothing at Making Things Right. Now we know she may be happy to stand there as the fraud that she is, but if you think I’m going to stand back and accept it when no matter who is in charge, they need to respect that I am the greatest star and after the year I just had, I better see a rematch coming soon.”

Katya: “Sienna, I’m glad you found your way out here. I was going to talk to you.”

Sienna: “Oh I’m sure this will be worthwhile. Unless it’s to offer me a rematch, I don’t know think we’ll have much to talk about. Especially since you’re one to talk about opportunity, accountability…no one has taken advantage of opportunity better than me…even beating Syren at Rise to Greatness when she wanted to run! Syren didn’t even try to pin me when she had the match HANDED to her by that irrelevant leech. We have been your consummate stars and we should be treated as such and yet, you stand with that!”

Katya: “You done?”

Sienna: “I could just be getting started. But then again, you wanted to talk. So I suppose I should let you waste my time.”

Katya: “I wanted to talk to you as you were one person who’s word needs to be made their bond. And well, this is simple. You were World Champion for nearly a record setting reign. I can’t deny that. But you also said that if you won the title, you’d give Bree Lancaster her shot. So when did that happen? Huh?”

Sienna smirks and looks up, shaking her head, scoffing.

Katya: “We’re going to keep you from continuing to be a liar. See, next week, you Sienna will face Bree Lancaster! I know Bree wants a US Title rematch, but maybe she wants a shot at the World Title. We’ll find out. Because if you win, you get your rematch. If she wins, she can either challenge Selena or she can challenge for the World Championship too. I hope you two wish each other luck beforehand.”

Sharper: “Huge match…but also a huge potential issue for those two friends.”

Knots: “I can at least get behind that idea. One good idea out of forty million!”

Katya then turns, before stopping herself and turning back.

Katya: “Oh, and whoever loses will be out of luck in their rematch hopes.”

The crowd boos some as Sienna just looks down.

Sienna: “This is your plan.”

Katya: “No plan. Just you make an agreement, you should honour it. Just like the Trueloves have claimed they’ve earned multiple rematches…we’re going to test that too. Oh, and LEO, have Dante come speak to us later by the way…we need to talk to him-“

Just then, the crowd erupts in cheers as Giovanni Aries, rolls out from under the ring and then rolls into the ring and Kim pumps her fists as Giovanni grabs Alexander Crowe and throws him into Syren and Ravyn. CHBK grabs Katya and protects her as Giovanni nails Autumn with a hard right and then nails Ryan Watson with a back shot.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries was under the ring! He’s going after the so-called Lizard Princess!”

Knots: “What he called Katya. The guy is nuts. Going for everyone!”

Giovanni then nails Kandis with a kick before turning and Marie grabs Giovanni and Giovanni nails her in the ribs with a hard right and then another. CHBK gets Katya out of the ring and Syren and Ravyn exit too with Crowe. Giovanni is then attacked by Kim who now protects her sister and nails him with a hard right and then another before Marie turns to Kim and the two jump up and dropkick him up and over and Giovanni rolls to the floor. He starts to get up and Giovanni looks around before turning and starting to stumble around the ring, going to follow CHBK, Katya and Dark Fantasy. Christy turns and slides down to the floor. She looks at Giovanni and Giovanni lunges and nails her with a hard right and then another. Scarlet and Kandis drop down and they start to hammer away on Giovanni as Ruby waits in the ring. Giovanni is thrown into the barricade and Kandis and Scarlet kick away before Christy turns and nails him with a facewash boot. Sienna smirks as she backs up to the back with LEO, Laura, London and Paris. They disappear.

Sharper: “Giovanni is still fighting them, but Christy takes him down!”

Knots: “Just too much. Why the hell did he do this? Is he that focused on taking down this damn Lizard Kingdom? He’s got people who hate Katya too!”

Christy then backs up as Ruby turns. Ryan helps Autumn up as Dark Fantasy, CHBK and Katya head up the rampway. Giovanni just shakes it off before pulling himself up and turning around and staggering after them again. Ruby points this out as she drops to the mat, limps forward a bit and turns and nails Giovanni with another hard forearm. Christy turns back and kicks him in the ribs. Kandis then yells at them to move and she runs over and jumps up and hits a running hip check. Giovanni falls back. Officials then start to head out from the back as Giovanni rolls over. The camera gets a shot of him from his face where he smirks, gritting his teeth.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries, look at that look.”

Knots: “He won’t stay down. He’s here for a fight!”

Sharper: “And officials coming out to stop this!”

They run in and start to head over to Giovanni. Giovanni starts to stir before swatting one away. He then walks along the ringside area, pointing to Katya as the crowd roars and we see many of Katya’s supporters remain in the ring, including Kim and Marie who stand in the ring, in case, as the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Katya walking backstage with CHBK particularly. Ravyn, Syren and Alexander Crowe are a few feet behind.

CHBK: “You okay?”

Katya: “Yeah, fine. We’ll have to finally deal with him. Another thing my dad never dealt with when he should have.”

CHBK: “Anything in mind…”

Katya: “Not yet. Have we gone through all of the contracts in the briefcase?”

CHBK: “Yeah.”

Katya sighs as they reach the office.

Katya: “I can’t believe he put in Regan’s rematch against Ravyn. I thought we were done with that. And I can’t touch Trios. I’m running the show. What the hell?’

CHBK: “Just obstacles we find a way through.”

CHBK turns as Katya enters the office. CHBK then holds the door open as Ravyn, Syren and Crowe step in. CHBK steps in after.

Sharper: “Did I hear that right? Katya can’t touch Trios. But not just that, Regan Street has a rematch against Ravyn Taylor for the Adrenaline Championship?”

Knots: “Sounds like it. That’s what was in the briefcase! How about that! Mr. D making sure it’s not complete anarchy!”

Tommy Valentine vs. Donovan Kayl

SCW Television Championship

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the SCW Television Championship!

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Cut The Cord" by Shinedown, hits.

"FREE-DOM LALALALA FREE-DOM FOLLOW ME!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly. The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp, the TV Championship belt around his waist.

Phillips: “Making his way to the ring, from Raleigh, North Carolina... he is the current SCW Television Champion... Thomas Valentine!”

Valentine stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards with his palms upwards. Fireworks then shoot out at the top of the ramp in a burst before he turns around and resumes walking down to the ring. Getting there, he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, simply nodding with a smirk. He jumps down and hands the belt to the official, then goes to his corner.

Sharper: “Thomas Valentine has been looking good in recent weeks, since his victory that earned him that title there, the Television Championship. Some might say he's maybe let it go to his head, been fighting with a little more violence than before, or than necessary.”

Knots: “I think you mean more vigor! More passion! The man is reinvigorated Sharper and he won't let anyone forget it.”

"Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation. Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. As he stands atop the ramp, he throws his arm out with each big note of the beginning musical portion. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Phillips: “And the challenger.... from Toronto, Ontario, he is the Cornerstone.... Donovan Kayl!”

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

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl, a former TV Champion himself, given an opportunity tonight to claim it once again.”

Knots: “Both these men are veterans of this sport, this should be a tough fight.”

The bell rings and Valentine immediately runs at Kayl, swinging for a hard clothesline. Kayl ducks. Valentine spins around and Kayl turns, catching Valentine with an uppercut. Valentine holds his jaw, then fires back with a hard right, quickly followed by a left. Kayl steps back. Valentine grabs his arm and spins him before shooting him across the ring. Kayl bounces off and Valentine drills him with a shoulder tackle, taking Kayl down hard. The crowd oohs. Valentine gets up and springboards off the middle rope, landing a moonsault. He makes a cover.

Kayl kicks out.

Sharper: “Valentine not wasting any time, he means business!”

Knots: “He wants to stay champion!”

Both men get up and Kayl pulls Valentine into a collar and elbow tie up. They struggle a bit, before Kayl reverses the hold and applies a full nelson. Valentine turns side to side trying to loosen the hold. Kayl just tightens his grip. The crowd cheers as he prevents Valentine from moving as much.

Sharper: “Donovan slowing this down to his own pace.”

Knots: “One of the best technical wrestlers in the world, if anyone can ground Tommy, he can.”

Valentine stops trying to break the hold by force, and instead suddenly snaps forward, flipping Kayl over him. He lets go as he hits the mat. Valentine immediately plants a low dropkick to Kayl's back. Kayl falls sideways. Valentine gets up then drops a knee into Kayl's ribs. He pushes Kayl to his back then makes another cover.

Kayl gets his shoulder up. Valentine gets up, and pulls Kayl up with him. He goes to whip him across, but Kayl counters and sends Valentine instead. He bounces back and Kayl lands a dropkick. Valentine hits the mat flat on his back. The crowd cheers. Valentine starts to get up, but Kayl nails a knee strike to the temple. He then makes a cover.

Valentine kicks out. Kayl gets up and steps back, letting Valentine get to his feet. Valentine shakes his head clear, then meets Kayl in the center of the ring. They exchange a few lefts and rights, with Valentine gaining the upper hand, working Kayl into the corner. Valentine stands on the middle rope and drives his elbow into Kayl's head. Kayl swings up, but Valentine blocks it, then lands another elbow, then another, using both, before switching to straight punches. The official comes over and warns him, telling him to back off. Valentine puts his hands up and hops down. The crowd boos some.

Sharper: “And there's that temper, that new vicious streak we've seen more of.”

Knots: “Seems to be working out for him though, so don't expect it to change any time soon.”

The official keeps Valentine back as he checks om Kayl. Kayl nods and stands up out of the corner. The official moves out of the way. Valentine rushes in looking for a knee to the ribs, but Kayl sidesteps and Valentine hits the turnbuckle, but stops himself from kneeing the post. Kayl grabs him and spins him around before grabbing his head and planting him with a DDT. He then pulls Valentine away from the corner and ropes, turns him to his back and makes a cover.

Valentine gets his shoulder up. Kayl gets up, and Valentine follows. Kayl grabs an arm and takes Valentine down with an arm drag. He holds on with Valentine on the ground, putting pressure on the shoulder. Valentine gets a leg under him and rolls out. Kayl lets go and Valentine gets up, shaking his shoulder out. Kayl connects with an uppercut, then a spinning elbow. Valentine backs away. Kayl then lands a spinning heel kick. Valentine goes down. Kayl drops an elbow before making another cover.

Valentine kicks out. He shoves Kayl off hard and rolls away. Kayl gets to his feet and goes after Valentine, pulling him up. Valentine shoves him off though once they are both up. Kayl stumbles backwards and Valentine plants a shoot kick into his gut. Kayl doubles over. Valentine grabs his head and plants him with a spinning neckbreaker. Instead of going for a cover though, Valentine then baseball slides Kayl under the rope and out of the ring. He hits the mats awkwardly. The crowd boos as Kayl starts to get up.

Knots: “Come on Tommy! Should have went for the win there!”

Sharper: “I think he has other plans- Oh my!”

Valentine dives through the ropes and takes Kayl out! Both crash to the floor hard, Kayl holding his back as he rolls over. The official starts a count. (1) Valentine gets up first, while Kayl gets to his hands and knees. (2) Valentine walks over as Kayl starts to stand. (3) Valentine grabs Kayl's arm and slings him into the ringpost, the side of his head hitting the post. The crowd oohs. (4) Kayl leans over the ring steps, holding his head. Valentine drops an elbow into the back of his head. (5) Valentine pulls Kayl up and spins him toward the barricade, but Kayl counters and Valentine goes into it instead, hitting with his shoulder. The crowd cheers. (6) Kayl gets up on the apron and starts to slide, in, but gets back out. (7)

Knots: “Donovan Kayl showing he has brains! He can't win the title on a count out!”

Sharper: “I'm sure Tommy wouldn't mind this finish, but Donovan won't let that happen.”

(8) Kayl grabs Valentine and pulls him up, then shoves him to the apron, sliding him in. (9) Kayl slides in right after. The official stops counting, as Kayl gets to his feet. Valentine gets up, and Kayl knocks him back down with an enzuigiri. He goes for a cover.

Valentine kicks out. The crowd boos. Both get up slow. Valentine bounces off the ropes and nails Kayl with a hard spinning clothesline. Kayl flips over before hitting the mat, hitting his head hard.

Sharper: “My God, what an impact!”

Knots: “Tommy's not playing around!”

Sharper: “What's he doing now?”

Valentine slides out of the ring and walks around to the timekeeper. He grabs his title belt from the table and slides it in, then gets back in. The official is checking on Kayl and doesn't see. Kayl sits up and nods. The official backs away. Kayl starts to get up. Valentine picks the belt up and stands behind Kayl ready for him to turn around as the crowd boos. The official turns and sees Valentine holding the belt. He starts shaking his head and storms over, reaching for the belt. He and Valentine struggle over it a little, before Valentine relents and lets it go. The official admonishes him before going to the corner to hand it back to the timekeeper. Kayl is now full to his feet, shaking his head at Valentine's actions.

Sharper: “He was gonna nail Donovan with the belt! Let himself get DQ'ed just to keep the title! Thankfully the official saw it though.”

Knots: “A win is a win!”

Valentine sees the official's back still turned, and smirks. He runs at Kayl, feigning an uppercut but then drops down and nails a low blow. The crowd boos heavily as Kayl hunches over.

Sharper: “Come on!”

Knots: “And the official didn't see it!”

The official turns around in time to see Valentine drill Kayl with an enzuigiri. He then backs up a few steps, then plants Kayl's head to the mat with the Beggar's Throne! The crowd boos as Valentine makes the cover.

The bell rings.

Phillips: “Here is your winner via pinfall, and still SCW Television Champion.... Thomas Valentine!”

The official hands Valentine the belt and raises his arm. Kayl starts to stir. Valentine kicks him back down as he walks around with the title overhead.

Sharper: “That disrespect was uncalled for. Thomas Valentine did everything he could think of to take Kayl down, even shoving him into the ring post. When that didn't work he was going to hit him with that belt, but the official stopped him. Didn't stop him from that low blow though, Tommy stole this!”

Knots: “What'd I tell you? A win is a win! Makes you wonder though if Tommy is doing everything he can to get on Katya's good side.”

Sharper: “Kayl has been involved in the movement against her and in Sasha's support, so it's possible. Regardless, Thomas Valentine is still the Television Champion, after a good battle that ended with an asterisk.”

Knots: “If this is how Breakdown starts, I can't wait to see what else is gonna happen tonight!”

After the match, we cut backstage to see Giovanni Aries walking through the backstage area, half out of it. He spins around and cackles as he then starts to run down the hallway but he’s then stopped by James Evans. Evans holds him back. Giovanni steps back and goes for a hard right, but stops himself.

Angelica: “Gio!”

Angelica runs over to him.

Angelica: “You need to stop.”

Giovanni: “You cut the head off before it has a chance to think.”

James: “Not alone though…You’re just asking to get taken out…”

Angelica turns to Giovanni.

Angelica: “And if you go down, then who will save the Wonderland.”

Giovanni turns to Angelica and smiles.

Giovanni: “And that’s why we’re all here.”

Just then, we see Kimberly Williams walking down the hallway. Giovanni lunges, but James stops her.

Angelica: “Gio!”

Kimberly: “Oh…the crazy guy! HI!”

Kimberly runs over and extends her hand to Giovanni.

Kimberly: “I’m Kim. I like throwing things at old people and sharp things! How about you!”

Angelica: “Kim…what are you doing?”

Kimberly: “Going for a walk. And I found a crazy person! HI CRAZY PERSON!”

Giovanni: “I guarantee I’m more sane than anyone else in this corridor.”

James: “So where’s Katya? This now where someone comes out to ambush us?”

Kimberly shrugs.

Kimberly: “I don’t know. Being a bitch? Using Marie?”

Angelica: “Then why are you with her?”

Kimberly sighs.

Kimberly: “Someone has to look after Marie.”

Angelica turns away and nods.

Angelica: “I appreciate it.”

Kimberly: “So want me to smuggle you guys in or something. I mean we’re on camera, so probably not going to do much, but meh? I’m all for doing something crazy!”

Kimberly then waves at the camera.

James: “Not tonight, Kim.”

Angelica: “Keep watching Marie.”

Kimberly: “Don’t worry.”

Kimberly salutes as James convinces Giovanni to leave. Giovanni however keeps watching Kimberly as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Dante McCaffery, Savali, and Jack Parker in the office of Katya. Katya stands across from them as CHBK stands with her. Xander Valentine is also in the room.

Dante: “Are you kidding me?”

Katya: “Not at all. I said we were holding people to their word.”

Dante: “I’m not the one who poached a member.”

Katya: “Was it against any deal that we couldn’t offer alternate payment? Xander just took it.”

Dante: “You’d rather take orders from her, than from whoever pays us. You probably make more money.”

Xander: “And I deal with people who are beneath me more often.”

Dante turns to Katya.

Dante: “So then what?”

Katya: “Network was involved in the triple threat match. You broke our agreement.”

Dante: “So we’re both not happy. We’ll we’re not doing business anymore. So all good.”

Katya: “What was the Beauty Factory paying you for that? To save Sienna?”

Dante: “None of your business.”

Katya nods.

Katya: “Well, I can’t fire. Not that that would stop you.”

Dante: “So then we’re just wasting time.”

Katya: “For now. Just wanted to know what was really going on. I’ll let Ravyn know you said hi.”

Dante: “I didn’t.”

Dante turns and leaves with Savali and Parker. Katya then turns to Xander.

Katya: “Xander…you take care of what you need to tonight. After that, you know what you need to do.”

Xander: “Happily. Just as long as what’s in my contract comes through.”

Katya: “It will. Alex…”

CHBK: “I promise it Xander.”

Xander turns and walks up to CHBK.

Xander: “Good, because you know what I’m capable of.”

Xander then walks off as Katya and CHBK watch him leave and we cut away.

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "Truth About Our Time” By Allen/Lande brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost, holding the SCW US Championship. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp.

Sharper: “The new US Champion joining us and with a new entrance theme.”

Knots: “She’s now a supreme champion, dethroning Bree Lancaster in service to humanity everywhere!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before entering the ring. She steps into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms and the title, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. She then goes over and is handed a microphone by Jason Phillips. Selena holds the microphone in her hand as she looks around the arena, listening to the cheers as she holds the SCW United States Championship over her shoulder.

Selena: “When I stepped in this ring for the first time at the End of the Year Special in 2013, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be cut out for it. But I always looked at this title, the one over my shoulder right now, as my goal. I’ll admit, I was modest. I didn’t fully believe. But this was the title I always wanted to hold. Holding this title to me would be success. And finally, at Making Things Right, I won the US Championship!”

The crowd cheers.

Selena: “Sure, I became a Supreme Champion too…and that’s an accomplishment, don’t get me wrong, but this…winning this, it was of personal significance. Professionally though, I had another focus and that was making sure that if Bree Lancaster was going to walk around holding this title, she needed to prove she could beat me straight up and Bree…that did not happen. No Scott Burnside. No run-ins. You had to face me and at the end of the night, I won. And this company has a champion it can be proud of. Who at least has integrity….But…”

Selena pauses as she looks around.

Selena: “As I was ensuring that…we have Katya in charge.”

The crowd boos loudly.

Selena: “Dark Fantasy got lucky. Katya got lucky. But as the start of this show made clear, I seem to already have a target on my back. That’s good to know, but I had already guessed that when two months ago, Dark Fantasy and everyone who stood with Katya made sure to come after me just because they could. It’s what’s started this last run with Bree and I and well, since we’re clearing the air, I may as well follow!”

Selena walks around the ring as the crowd cheers.

Selena: “On one side, I may have to deal with Bree getting her rematch. She’ll just need to get through Sienna and I’m sure that’s going to be a lot of fun to watch. Finally someone called them out on what they promised to one another. But Bree, I don’t need to say anything here, because I know you know, that’s going to be the fight for your life and your title hopes, as it will be for Sienna it seems. Beyond my taking some pleasure in watching you two sanctimonious people needing to fight through each other, I also know Bree, if you come out the other side…and put your money where your mouth is by challenging me to my rematch…I have no problem delivering an encore.”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “But where it gets interesting Christy Matthews. The woman who led down the façade and showed she was always with Dark Fantasy, playing the long game. Don’t think I haven’t forgotten Bound by Blood where Alexander Crowe got involved and you took advantage. I don’t think I need to say much more. I’m not going to stand here and say that I saw through it. No…there’s no shame in believing a mother was standing up to defend certain lines that couldn’t be crossed. Standing up for Amy when she can’t compete. Standing up to someone like Ravyn who when her schemes finally fall apart, we’ll all enjoy it. But you tied their lot to them. To Katya. And now you’re coming after me. You’ve been granted your title shot. A reward for being patient. For being full of crap.”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “Christy…all you did was throw away any respect you have. And when your child grows up, just like mine will and I know will look up to me, they’ll do the same for you and you can answer them. But Katya, you want to play the game and focus on taking this title from me. Pushing away someone who has become the face of this company by standing and trying to do what was best for it…I don’t have to add to the chorus who know you don’t have a clue what that means and more importantly, you don’t give a damn about what your father things. This is all for attention and all out of spite.”

Selena pauses.

Selena: “Well if you want to paint a target on my back, you want to give Christy her shot at me, she won’t be winning the rematch from Bound by Blood. I will just get through her. Get through Bree. Get through ANYONE you put in my way and I will do stand for what this company and your father stood for. BELIEVE IT!”

Selena brings the microphone down. The crowd cheers as Selena steps back.

Sharper: “Selena Frost standing in the face of our new promoter and not backing down.”

Knots: “Katya may be in charge, but people still don’t trust her and obviously so!”

Sharper: “Selena Frost know she’s got that target. Bree could come after her. Christy Matthews given the title shot to start the night.”

Knots: “And we’re just getting started in this four week period!”

Selena turns and walks over to the corner and steps through. She drops down to the floor. She then walks around the ring and high-fives a few fans as she starts to head to the back.

Lexy Chapel can be seen backstage as the crowd boos.

Lexy: “That’s right! I’m here and I’m your NEW top interview backstage, as it should be. And I’ve got a great new guest, your SCW Television Champion, Tommy Valentine!”

Tommy comes into view as the crowd boos. He looks around, proudly showing the SCW TV Championship over his shoulder.

Lexy: “So Tommy, I want to thank you on behalf of Katya for teaching Donovan Kayl a lesson and Dark Fantasy, we really want-“

Tommy: “Whoa, whoa…look, I was defending my title. I was making sure that I was going to keep this because I happen to like how it looks around my waist and not just that, the extra cash helps. As for Dark Fantasy, Katya, they can do what they want. So I helped them. So be it. But I’m not looking to do much else except go into that ring and kick ass.”

The crowd roars a bit. Some boo.

Lexy: “Oh so-“

Tommy: “Tell Syren, Ravyn, CHBK…Christy…all of them hi. But Pinnacle isn’t coming back. But I’m going to keep an eye on what they do and what’s best for me…that’s where I’ll be.”

Tommy turns and walks off. The crowd roars a bit as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Bree Lancaster standing with Hana Ito backstage. The crowd boos seeing her.

Hana: “Hana Ito here. Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m here with Bree Lancaster and Bree, we heard from Selena Frost moments ago.”

Bree rolls her eyes.”

Hana: “Do you have anything to say to her and then what about your response to the match against Sienna Swann next week with massive title implication?”

Bree turns to Hana before turning to the camera.

Bree: “Selena, I hope you enjoyed your moment at Making Things Right, I really do. Cause you see, the only reason you had it, is because I allowed it. The only reason you hold that title and everything that goes with it... Is because I let you take it. That’s right, you didn't beat me... I let you win.”

Hana: “Wait…what?”

Bree: “Why, you may ask? So you would shut the hell up! I am sick and tired of your whining and pandering, and I knew that if I went on to beat you...Again...We would never hear the end of it! You would try to find a way to get out of your own stipulation, and whine and pout until you got it. SCW sould be thanking me for putting an end to your misery, because it ended theirs from having to listen to you!”

Hana: “Are you serious?”

Bree: “Of course I am! She had her moment. I was even gracious enough to stay down and let you enjoy it. You got all your checkboxes marked off. You're welcome. Now for Sienna…”

Bree pauses.

Bree: “Looks like we’ll have to face. I don’t know what to say right now. But to everyone in SCW who is hoping our friendship is going to implode…no…it’s not. And Sienna, no matter what happens, I know I’ll be proud for you if you win and you’ll be proud of me. But hopefully we don’t need to worry about either issue.”

Bree turns and heads off. We cut to the ring.

Knots: “I didn’t think it was possible for someone to be that deluded, but here we are!”

Sharper: “Unbelievable. Claiming to stay down so Selena would win. How about just proving everything Selena said about you was right!”

Truelove Twins in action

Breakdown returns to the ring to show two large women who walk around the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, from Tampa, Florida, they are Gertrude and Hellion, the Destroyers!”

Knots: “There’s some mass in the ring. Katya said Trueloves would be getting a chance to prove themselves.”

Sharper: “Certainly a challenge that would be different to say the least.”

A few moments pass before “Just A Dream” by Nelly plays throughout the arena, a gold spotlight with blue flashers begin to circle the entranceway. The two beautiful Twins, London and Paris Truelove walk out holding hands before looking at the ring, and looking disgusted. They turn to one another as Laura Steinbeck walks out and London and Paris turn to her. Laura says something and London and Paris then turn and start to head to the ring.

Phillips: “Their opponents, accompanied by Laura Steinbeck, from Johannesburg, South Africa, they are London and Paris, the Truelove Twins!”

London and Paris come to the ring and stop. They then hop onto the apron and look in the ring. Laura remains on the floor as Paris steps through the ropes with London holding them open. London then follows with Paris returning the favour. They step forward and Paris then steps back and looks at her opponents. London just looks across too before turning to the official.

Sharper: “They seem pretty reluctant.”

Knots: “Paris and London are delicate flowers.”

Sharper: “Give me a break.”

The bell sounds. Just then Gertrude runs across and nails London with a running body avalanche before she can even react. Paris turns and gets caught with a hard right from Hellion. Paris falls into the ropes and Hellion nails her with another hard right and then another before pushing her against the ropes and rearing back and clubbing her across the chest. Paris falls over as Gertrude exits the ring. Paris gets back up and Hellion walks over and clubs her in the back. She falls over. Paris rolls over and moves to the corner. Hellion walks after and goes to grab her throat, but Paris kicks her in the knee and then again. Hellion steps back and as Paris pushes up on the top turnbuckle before hitting a double kick to the face of Hellion, causing her to stumble back.

Sharper: “Paris fighting against this hoss of a woman!”

Knots: “Nailing her with boots. Whatever she can.”

Paris moves out and hits a shoot kick to the thigh. Hellion then swats at her but, but Paris ducks and then hits a jumping kick to the jaw. Hellion falls back and hits the mat. She starts to get up and Paris turns and runs into the ropes and hits a running leg drop. She rolls over and turns and tags in London. London climbs to the top rope. She dives off and goes for a guillotine leg drop. The crowd ohs. The crowd boos a bit and London goes for the pin.

Gertrude pulls London off. She turns around and kicks at Gertrude. London rolls over and gets up and turns and grabs Hellion, but Hellion shoves London back into her corner and Gertrude grabs her from the apron and starts to choke her, just using her arms to smother her. London struggles as the referee counts.

London is let go and she falls over, coughing and rubs her face, moving away, trying to catch her breath, before fanning herself. Hellion tags Gertrude in. Gertrude enters and London gets up and Gertrude clotheslines her down. She then turns and runs at Paris and nails her with a hard right.

Sharper: “And right now, the Destroyers looking to take advantage as the Trueloves are a bit reluctant.”

Knots: “You’d be too if you didn’t trust the people in charge!”

Sharper: “True, and add the size advantage of these two.”

Gertrude turns around as London starts to get up and Gertrude clubs her. London then nails her in the ribs with a hard right and then another and another. Paris slides into the ring and urns at Gertrude and hits a running dropkick to the back of her leg. The crowd ohs as Gertrude rolls over, holding her leg. Paris rolls over and is told to leave the ring. She does, snapping at the official. Gertrude starts to get up and London runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running senton backsplash. She rolls over and turns and tags in Paris. Gertrude rolls over and moves to the corner.

Sharper: “Gertrude running into trouble. London gets in Paris!”

Paris enters and just then, Paris runs across the ring and drop down in front of Hellion and before Hellion can even react, London runs across and jumps up and hits the London Tower into Hellion, knocking her down. She rolls through and Paris gets up and Gertrude runs out of the corner and goes for a double clothesline. Paris and London duck before repositioning and both nailing her with the Twin Killing! The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Twin Killing!”

Knots: “And the Trueloves realized they needed to just divide and conquer. First Hellion and then Gertrude!”

Sharper: “And the cover!”

Paris goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and boos as the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, London and Paris, the Truelove Twins!”

Sharper: “Trueloves successful in a match that’s more humouring them and humouring Katya. Trueloves want to get back to the Tag Team Championship contendership.”

Knots: “They look fine, but this isn’t the type of match they need. They need to be facing some of the best. Not different styles. Not independent talent looking for a break. Even if they’re huge!”

Sharper: “And I’m sure London and Paris are not exactly thrilled by the situation, but right now, we only know Katya is running things right now. In four weeks, who knows.”

London and Paris back away from Gertrude as Paris starts to wipe herself off with her hands, looking disgusted. Laura just standing on the steel steps as London then turns and exits the ring. Paris exits too and she just continues to be disgusted as we cut away.

Andrew Raynes, wearing a Patriots jersey, getting massive boos from the crowd, can be seen backstage in the office of Katya. Dustin Adams is with him.

Andrew: “So I’m going to make this simple...You’re not that new. And you claim to be smart. Am I going to have to ruin a few more people’s nights to get my rematch for the World Tag Team Titles with Bree?!”

Katya: “Andrew…I don’t take kindly to your tone.”

Andrew: “Well I don’t take kindly to being jerked around by children who want daddy’s attention.”

Katya just nods.

Katya: “Okay. No. You’re not going to get that rematch. You want a tag title shot. You can earn it with Bree.”

Andrew: “Great. Another jackass in charge. Another useless bitch.”

Katya: “Excuse me.”

Andrew: “You heard me.”

Katya: “Well, Andrew, you seem to have a problem. Have an anger issue.”

Andrew: “Ya think? I’m getting jerked around by someone playing boss and on a power trip.”

Katya: “And yet I’m the one in charge. Not you. You’re the one who wasn’t booked at Making Things Right and two years ago was irrelevant.”

Andrew: “I’m your Male Wrestler of 2018.”

Katya: “Great. That’s then. This is a new era. And you know what…you can try to sway my decision in some way easily. Tonight…How about you team with Dustin and Bree against Redemption…and Giovanni Aries.”

The crowd roars.

Andrew: “Hope you have a plan for new tag champs then.”

Andrew turns to Dustin.

Andrew: “Come on.”

Dustin and him walk off. Katya just looks at him

“Behind The Stars” by Mercy Drive begins to play throughout the arena. Manvel suddenly appears on the Tron as he hops out and poses at the entranceway. Notably, instead of being covered in copious amounts of oil, this time, we see Scott Burnside follow him and Manvel is wearing a black suit. Along with him is Cupcake. Cupcake looks around and the trio start to head to the ring.

Sharper: “Here comes Manvel who has become a completely different person in the last couple of weeks.”

Knots: “He claims he came up with the KABLAMA Sutra. Trust me! After smelling the MANSauce at Making Things Right, I sincerely doubt that!”

Sharper: “Well of course. He’s just jealous as Derek Adonis has become a sensation. And he’s now brought in Cupcake, Cookie’s sister, to be by his side in this turf war.”

Manvel leads them to the ring. He runs up the steel steps and Scott quickly slides in before promptly sitting on the middle rope, holding the ropes open for Manvel. Manvel enters as Cupcake climbs up, but Scott steps off and goes over to get a microphone to Manvel. Cupcake looks at Scott before then stepping into the ring herself. Scott is handed a microphone and gives it to Manvel. Manvel smiles as he looks around. The crowd starts to boo.

Manvel: “Whoa daddy. You’re all gettin’ on my case, when I’m offered a primo product and a better look than that chubby fraud and his chaser!”

The crowd boos as Manvel looks around.

Manvel: “And a lot of people are angry at me, because I happen to say the truth. That fraud used my ideas to make him millions, to make him loved, when he’s just a fat guy with no game. That’s why I got Cupcake by my side. What would you rather have? A Cupcake or a Cookie? Damn right, daddy, you want your Cupcake. And some people here have started to get the hint as I got my first customers for the MANline products, for MAN or woMAN and trust me, they were satisfied customers.”

Manvel shakes his head.

Manvel: “What I offer…that’s the future. I’m the visionary. Not that hack Adonis. The KABLAMA Sutra is nothin’ without me. You’ll find out. But me…I’m the one gonna be leading the pack. Sure, I took a cheap shot to Derek, but I made sure MAN Mountain, a cheap fraud of the MANtastic one, had nothing manly about him at the end of the day. And tonight, I’m gonna make sure people understand they need to align with me, with my products, with my vision. And that’s because I’m lookin’ at you.”

Manvel turns and looks at Jonathan Knots at ringside. The camera cuts to Jonathan Knots and Adam Sharper.

Knots: “Who? Me? Sharper?”

Sharper: “I sure as hell hope its not me.”

Manvel: “Jonny. Come on up here. You’re the conduit to the crowd. You’re the man that can make or break it. Come on up.”

The crowd roars a bit as Knots takes off his headset. He then gets up and walks over to the ring. He walks up the steel steps. He then walks along the apron and into the ring. He looks around and turns to Manvel who smiles and looks at him. Cupcake walks over to Knots and Knots and her share some back and forth before Knots turns to Manvel.

Manvel: “Now, Jonny…I know that you’re a man who likes quality. A man who has demanding tastes. I just have to look at who you’re married to.”

Knots shrugs and nods.

Manvel: “And I hear you come out and talking about how you’re a supporter of the KABLAMA Sutra. Even mentioning pages. And Jon…I know you’re a cool guy and have a good sense about you. You trust me when I say that it was all me.”

Knots looks around, not too sure.

Manvel: “Well, no matter…I want you on the ground floor of what I’m doin’ without that freeloader.”

Knots then asks for the microphone. Manvel smiles and extends it to him.

Knots: “Well, Manvel, I appreciate it. And I wish you all the best of luck with this-“

Manvel takes the microphone back and turns, cutting Knots off.

Manvel: “That’s great, daddy and well, Scott, he’s got a personal set of samples and we’re going to show them off here. Cupcake, if you could…”

Scott pulls out a small clutch from his pocket and unzips it. Cupcake walks over as Knots turns to Manvel, saying something to him.

Manvel: “No, Jonny. I insist. It’s the least we can do.”

Cupcake then pulls out a small bottle from the clutch and smiles as she starts to pour some of it on her hands. Knots peers over to see what she’s doing, but at this point, we then see Manvel spin Knots around and nail him with the Mankick. The crowd ohs. Knots falls to the mat, holding his jaw and half out of it.

Sharper: “What?! Mankick to the face of Jonathan Knots!”

Manvel then turns and gets up. Cupcake then hands the bottle to Manvel. Manvel grabs the microphone.

Manvel: “Don’t think we didn’t hear what you said at Making Things Right. Kandis and Scarlet are great customers. And Scott, after everything he’s told me you said about Bree. I needed to remind him that I value him! Somethin’ that Flabby Boy couldn’t even do. Even though I’m the one that made him relevant!”

Manvel pauses as the crowd boos.

Manvel: “But don’t worry, Jonny…ya will still get your free sample, daddy!”

Manvel then turns the bottle upside down and squeezes the contents down on Knots’ face. Knots covers his face as Manvel squeezes it all over him. He throws the bottle down.

Manvel: “Enjoy the brand new MANSauce with BURNside sensation.”

Knots yells out as it clearly has gotten into his eyes. Manvel then looks at him as Scott squeals in delight as Cupcake starts to rub the brief amount she poured out onto her chest. She smiles as we then see Derek Adonis running out from the back with Cookie. They head to the ring as Manvel turns and drops down and rolls to the floor. Cupcake does too as does Scott Burnside.

Sharper: “Adonis running to the ring. Cookie with him too. Manvel getting out of there as Jon needs help. That substance clearly has something in it and it got into his eyes! Manvel just attacking him…and Scott Burnside loving it!”

Derek Adonis turns and looks at Manvel, Cupcake and Scott Burnside as they back away. Cookie checks on Knots, comforting him as the crowd boos and we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see Jonathan Knots with Derek Adonis and Cookie, with a KABLAMA Labs towel, rubbing his eyes. We then see Kennedy Street heading over to him.

Kennedy: “Jonny…you okay.”

Knots: “Yeah…yeah…just burns…Jesus.”

Kennedy: “What even was that?”

Adonis: “Manvel…just…”

Cookie: “Jealousy.”

Knots: “I don’t know. I don’t care. Hurt like hell.”

Kennedy: “Either way, between what Kandis and Scarlet were doing…now this…Katya calling out Bitchy Keenie.”

Knots: “Kennie. You can get through this-“

Kennedy: “I don’t know if I want to.”

The crowd roars as Kennedy turns and heads off. Knots gets up.

Knots: “Kennie! Wait!”

Knots winces and looks out before turning away, squinting.

We then cut to the announce table to see Adam Sharper joined by Jessica Winters.

Sharper: “Knots hopefully is okay. Adam Sharper here, now joined by Jessica Winters and Jessica, thank you for joining me.”

Jessica: “Not much else to do. And apparently CHBK wasn’t available this week.”

Sharper: “Probably going through all of the paperwork.”

Abigail Lindsay vs. Ravyn Taylor

A loud purring engine can be heard from somewhere in the arena. The chorus of "Wreak Havoc" by Skylar Grey begins the play. Suddenly, a motorcycle burst from backstage. It stops at the top of the ramp, the person driving the motorcycle briefly takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be Abigail Lindsay.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from Los Angeles, California, she is Abigail “Serenity” Lindsay.”

She places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles the ring twice. The bike comes to a halt. Serenity slides off, takes off her helmet. She hops on the apron, proving how flexible she is she lifts one leg off, then drops down in a full split. She slides under the bottom rope. She slumps down into the corner waiting for the match to start.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay coming out, riding that motorcycle and looking for to this one. She is supposed to face Ravyn Taylor tonight.”

Jessica: “Meanwhile we still don’t know who was behind the sabotage of Abigail’s motorcycle a few weeks ago. Smart money suggested Ravyn, but Jon made a good point then. That seems beneath her.”

Sharper: “May be exactly why.”

A few moments pass before we see Katya come up on the screen. The crowd boos.

Katya: “Abigail! Abigail…congratulations on your win at Making Things Right.”

The crowd cheers a bit. Abigail just smirks, almost expecting this.

Katya: “As a result, you’ve earned the right to face Ravyn Taylor. But well, about that, unfortunately, Syren and Ravyn are deep in a planning session and she’s informed me that she’ll be occupied. I reminded about her match, guaranteed by my father, and well, she talked about priorities and apparently, you are not one to her.”

Abigail mouths “of course.”

Jessica: “Are we in any way shocked by this?”

Katya: “Now, Abigail, as I said at the start of our show, our word is our bond. And Ravyn, she was scheduled for this match. To the official in the ring, please ring the belt and count her out.”

The crowd boos as Abigail rolls her eyes and then we see the referee in the ring shrug before turning and calling for the bell. The bell sounds. He then starts to count.

Sharper: “None of this is surprising. The level of pure disrespect though from Ravyn Taylor and Katya basically just rubbing that in.”

Jessica: “Under this guise that she’s doing the right thing.”

10!

The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via countout, Abigail Lindsay!”

The crowd boos as Abigail just scoffs, remaining in the corner.

Katya: “Hard fought victory, Abigail. But don’t worry, I figured you’re here to fight. And not to remind you, but we are going to make sure we find out who tampered with your motorcycle a few weeks ago. Perhaps you can use that moment as motivation for your replacement match. Well, please welcome…Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant!”

“Scarlet” begins to play as the entire arena in engulfed in red lighting, feeling so much like a thick red veil has overtaken the arena that it's suffocating. Through the smoke that begins to cover the stage, Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant slowly saunter out onto the stage hand-in-hand and hips bumping as they walk, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by this sight. Scarlet slowly turns to Ruby with a smirk and slowly starts running a hand up and down her body, trying to intentionally shift some of the focus over to her as Ruby just smiles back at her, and when Scarlet rises back to full height the two share a brief but passionate kiss before they begin heading down to the ring, Scarlet catching the lingering gaze of some of the fans and winking to them as Ruby just keeps her smile, pleased that Scarlet's enjoying herself.

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

As they reach ringside Scarlet slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. She then spreads her legs as she leans back against the ropes and allows Ruby to slide into the ring between her legs. Ruby slowly twists around and rises as Scarlet approaches, taking Ruby's hands to run them up along her own body as well. This ends with the two of them locking lips again, one leg slowly rising from each of them before they separate. As the lights return to normal, Scarlet saunters over to try and start flirting with the referee as the look on Ruby's face changes, making it clear that at least she's flipped the switch and is ready for war.

Sharper: “So I guess this is a handicap match. Ruby Amarant back in the ring for the first time in 2019. We noticed that she was in better shape after Making Things Right.”

Jessica: “So what? Is it tag based? Both in the ring.”

Sharper: “Whatever it is. Here comes Abigail!”

Abigail turns and runs at Ruby and nails her with a hard forearm and then another before turning and nailing Scarlet with a hard forearm before she can go after him. The bell sounds. Scarlet falls to the corner and Abigail turns and goes for the ankle of Ruby. The crowd roars. Ruby goes down and Scarlet runs over and clubs Abigail in the back and then again and again. Abigail rolls off and starts to get up. She backs up and Scarlet kicks her in the ribs and then again before grabbing her and whipping her across the ring. Abigail hits the corner and Scarlet runs after and goes for a running splash, but Abigail moves out of the way. Scarlet hits hard and falls over. Abigail turns as Ruby runs at Abigail and Abigail drops down and Ruby goes through the ropes and hits the mats, wincing a bit and rolling into the announce table.

Sharper: “Ruby to the floor, putting some impact on that ankle.”

Jessica: “Looks like it may have tweaked it. She’s not 100% yet!”

Sharper: “And Abigail is facing both. I think it’s tornado style. And I just thought of this. Is this to test Dawn Lohan, who has publicly stated her desire to focus on her career, not getting involved in this issue with Katya, with Sasha…”

Jessica: “It’s her half-sister in there. I hope she’s ready to get in there to help her.”

Abigail turns and grabs Scarlet up and hits a vertical suplex. She floats over for the pin.

Scarlet kicks out. Abigail rolls off and starts to stir before she turns around and gabs Scarlet. She pulls her up and knees her in the ribs and then again before grabbing her and going to fire her into the ropes. Scarlet spins through and sends her in. Abigail bounces off. Scarlet goes for a clothesline. Abigail ducks and bounces off the other side, but Ruby reaches in and trips her up. Abigail hits the mat, face first. The crowd boos. Abigail starts to get up and Ruby promptly hits a DDT. The crowd boos more. Ruby rolls into the ring. Abigail rolls over, reaching for the ropes. She slowly starts to get up.

Sharper: “Vicious DDT. Abigail spiked into the mat.”

Jessica: “Ruby tripped her up. Scarlet happy to take advantage.”

Sharper: “And Ruby back in the ring. That may tell you the instructions the official is getting in his earpiece. This is tornado style here.”

Ruby gets up as Abigail grabs at the ropes. Ruby runs over and kicks her in the ribs. Abigail falls into the corner. Ruby then pulls her out and throws her into the middle of the ring and Scarlet hits a dropkick to her legs. Abigail falls to the mat, face first. Ruby walks over and grabs her by both legs. She hoists Abigail up before Scarlet grabs her and hits a wheelbarrow assisted facebuster. Scarlet then pulls Abigail up and pushes her back with her foot and Ruby hits a wheelbarrow suplex. She doesn’t bridge up, instead letting go and turning and going for the pin.

Abigail kicks out. The crowd cheers. An “Abigail!” chant begins as Abigail rolls over. She starts to get up. She gets to her feet and Ruby grabs her and throws her back. She staggers back and Scarlet grabs her and pulls her back before hitting a fall forward reverse DDT. She goes for the pin.

Abigail kicks out. Scarlet rolls off and shows off an annoyed look as she turns and then starts to walk over to the referee, starting to flirt with them. Abigail rolls over as the crowd continues to cheer for her. Ruby then turns and walks over and grabs Abigail and pulls her up and wrenches the arm. She then kicks her in the ribs and then again. She turns and whips Abigail into the ropes. She bounces off and Ruby goes for a clothesline. Abigail ducks and jumps to the middle rope before diving back and grabbing Ruby’s head and hitting a bulldog. The crowd ohs and cheers. Scarlet then turns back and looks at Abigail before stepping behind the official.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay with the springboard into a bulldog!”

Jessica: “And Scarlet’s trying to use the referee!”

Sharper: “We’ve seen this from her. She’ll play the game. She’s manipulate others. Ruby has too.”

Abigail gets up and turns and reaches over to Scarlet. She grabs at her and she pulls her hair and gets her around the referee. She then nails her with a forearm and then another. Ruby manages to get up and runs over and nails Abigail in the back. The crowd ohs and Ruby then pulls her back by her hair and hooks her up with a grapevine as Scarlet suddenly lunges and nails Abigail with a boot, hitting the Crowning Moment!

Sharper: “Ruby recovering just in time. Scarlet just buying time!”

Jessica: “Abigail just unable to keep track of both of them!”

Scarlet then turns and goes for the pin as Ruby rolls away.

The crowd boos.

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

Abigail rolls over as Scarlet Grey gets up. She turns to Abigail as Ruby turns and looks down at her. The crowd starts to boo.

Sharper: “Red Empires wins, just with pure numbers.”

Jessica: “As I’m sure Katya and likely Ravyn Taylor hoped!”

Sharper: “Wait a minute. They may not be done.”

Ruby then stomps Abigail in the face and Scarlet stomps her in the body. They start to stomp away as the crowd boos as Abigail covers up.

Sharper: “Come on! Now this is just a message! I’m sure to get her to stop!”

The bell sounds again. Ruby and Scarlet get a few more shots in before we see Dawn Lohan almost immediately running out from the back. The crowd cheers as Dawn runs down to the ring. Ruby notices it and gets Scarlet’s attention. Both then drop down and roll to the floor as Dawn slides in. She gets up and turns to them. Scarlet just smirks as she walks around the ring. Ruby ignores the crowd and then starts to walk to the back, limping slightly. Scarlet wraps her arm around her and then the two head to the back. Dawn turns back to Abigail. Abigail rolls over, wincing in pain.

Jessica: “Dawn making the save.”

Sharper: “Not coming out during the back, but immediately after. Not going to let her half-sister get assaulted after the bell!”

Dawn starts to help Abigail up as the crowd cheers them and we cut commercial.

COMMERCIALS

The arena turns black. On the screen, scenes of post-apocalyptic landscapes haunt the darkness. Over the speakers, an eerie synth pad sets the mood as a deep, raspy voice begins speaking:

♫“The car’s on fire, and there’s no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows…

The government is corrupt and we’re on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.

It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves. Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upward, everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said ‘Kiss me. You’re beautiful. These are truly the last days. You grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.” ♫

Jessica: “Here we go. I was waiting for when we would hear from Datura.”

Sharper: “Victorious over Regan Street at Making Things Right in what was a war. Regan Street never stopped coming, even with two broken fingers.”

“Dead Flag Blues” by Godspeed You! Back Emperor plays. A chorus of strings play a melancholic tune as a pale spotlight settles at the top of the ramp. There, it falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight, dark jeans and a black hoodie. Standing next to her is Alexis Quinne. The two look down at the ring as Datura starts to head to the ring as Alexis Quinne pulls her gas mask off and holds it. The two head down to the ring.

Sharper: “A hell of a visual and that woman, Datura, reminded us how dangerous she is. Alexis Quinne, she’s always been dangerous. And together, a lot of are wondering now what they plan to do next.”

Datura and Alexis walk down to the ring, side by side. They reach the ring and Quinne rolls into the ring. She gets up on her knees. She then starts to get up as Datura walks up the steps. She walks along the apron and into the ring. She walks to the middle of the ring and looks around before she steps back and over to the corner as Alexis Quinne heads over, grabbing a microphone. She takes it and backs up and walks to the middle of the ring. She looks around as Datura paces around the ring. The music fades out.

Alexis: “Making Things Right was certainly an interesting night and no, I’m not talking about how it determined who is in charge.”

The crowd buzzes a bit, a mixed reaction coming from the crowd.

Alexis: “At the end of the day, that doesn’t concern me as I’m going to still do what I have always done and that survive and overcome. And before I hand this microphone to someone who offered a lesson of her own to a Hellcat that has needed to be shown that for every alpha, there is an omega…”

The crowd roars.

Alexis: “A few others should remember that lesson. To the Network, I had left you alone for years, but you got involved in my business when you came out here all to go after Cassidy and Ace. And well, while they keep on keeping on, you lost whatever truce there was. And Dante, trust me when I say there is plenty more I want to do to you and the group that you TOOK from me.”

The crowd roars in cheers. Alexis looks at the crowd.

Alexis: “But there is one other person who I’m sure is going to hear me and start to laugh. But just ask you friend, Andrew, how much you should laugh when I’ve got Datura standing with me. In the New Americana Andrew, free spirits will find their way to destroy those who don’t understand that they don’t control all. And Andrew, bring a chair, bring Dustin Adams, all you made at Making Things Right is an enemy! And Andrew, tag title hopes, personal hopes, they’re all going up in smoke if we ever cross paths again! Past, Present, Future and their associates may have run 2018 until their inevitable collapse. In 2019, reality will hit you all hard!”

The crowd roars as Alexis then turns and hands the microphone to Datura. Datura takes it and the roars get louder and turn into a much more vociferous mixed reaction between fans of Datura and fans of Regan Street.

Datura: “Kitty had…claws….Kitty had two clipped…Kitty could only hold on so long until she simply slipped.”

Datura smirks as she looks at the crowd, leaning on the top rope.

Datura: “Regan…I told you that I would be coming and that in that ring, I was ready for war. And I give you credit Regan. Don’t get me wrong. There is no disrespect here. I respect the fight that you brought, even when I took your fingers, and manipulated them in ways they were not meant to go. For once you fought not only for pride, but because of drive. The woman who had used her family as a crutch to motivate her actions finally followed through. Sure…she failed. But at least she gained something…self-respect.”

Datura smirks.

Datura: “And as people talk of your future title rematches, and some people get excited as you may be a flicker of hope for a corrupt leader, I’ll admit those issues don’t bother me much, unless someone forces me to take notice. But Regan, the flaw that I’ve created, leaving you with that gift of consistent pain as you try to stand for your family, stand for the place you call home, for your belief…it’s gotten some more urgency and for that, you can save me. So let us drop the charade…”

Datura pauses as she looks at the crowd.

Datura: “Your family were merely pawns. I made it explicit, but you, you still hold onto them. Hoping it will motivate you. You may be better than that as I’ve shown, and Regan…you’re welcome. You no longer have to hope for back room deals. You no longer have to attack your half-brother. You no longer have to wait as your adopted son well…he can’t do much at the moment in this ring. But you get my point…You have the spotlight and all thanks to me. I have set fire to what matters and I also hope you realize that I am EVERYTHING I have always said I am. As Alexis plainly stated…I am and can be again your omega!”

The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. The crowd cheers as “Who’s Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. A few moments pass before Mikaela Street steps out from the back, her back to the ring, and trying to plead with Regan Street as she storms out from the back. We immediately notice on her left hand, two fingers taped with splints.

Sharper: “Regan Street coming out and we’ve made many comments about her rage, her anger.”

Jessica: “Mikaela knows this a bad plan.”

Regan Street storms to the ring as the crowd roars as Mikaela Street backs up, bouncing on her feet, trying to plead with her still to not head to the ring. Datura looks at Regan as Regan continues on her way, heading down, her sister moving with her. They get to the ringside area as Regan turns to Mikaela before saying something to her before turning and hopping onto the apron, using her right hand to pull herself up. She looks right at Datura. Datura and Regan lock eyes as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Look at that look between these two.”

Jessica: “You have to wonder whether this is Regan running from what happened at Making Things Right or is this based on something Datura said. Her family as pawns. The alpha and omega, playing to Regan being the alpha female of SCW.”

Regan steps into the ring. The crowd roars again and she steps forward as Datura and Regan look at one another. Regan fumes as Datura just smirks. Regan then grabs the microphone from Datura and pulls back on it. Datura simply lets go and looks at her. Regan takes a moment as Mikaela looks on from the floor.

Regan: “Thank you…”

Sharper: “What?”

Regan looks at Datura.

Regan: “But I still haven’t given you a gift to remember me by.”

Regan looks at her left hand.

Regan: “I’ll have to fix that.”

Regan then drops the microphone. She then suddenly nails Alexis Quinne in the throat with a hard right hand. Datura lunges at Regan and grabs her left arm but Regan suddenly turns and starts to bite Datura’s arm. Datura pulls away, but Regan pulls Datura in and drops her with a reverse STO and then locks in the Regan Era! The crowd roars as Regan pulls on Datura’s head, but locks it in differently, keeping her left hand free to avoid pulling on her injured fingers. Datura struggles, trying to get free as Regan pulls back, seething as she does.

Sharper: “Regan Era! Her version of the Koji Clutch!”

Jessica: “Datura’s fading. She’s locking it fully in!”

Regan keeps pulling on Datura as Datura reaches out, trying to grab at the ropes for leverage, but her arm starts to fade. Alexis starts to get up, coughing before she grabs Regan, trying to pull her off. Regan refuses to let go as Datura starts to fade as Alexis Quinne keeps trying to get Regan off.

Sharper: “Alexis is trying to pull Regan off. Datura is down. She may be out.”

Jessica: “Regan knew she had to get it in synched in fully for the message she wanted. This is far from done!”

Sharper: “Datura may have won the battle at Making Things Right, but Regan’s not ready to concede the war!”

Regan keeps pulling back on Datura as Quinne keeps trying to pull Regan off as the scene slowly fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Regan Street stepping into the interview area. Lexy Chapel is there and she backs away a bit.

Regan: “You better run…”

Regan steps over as Mikaela Street grabs the microphone and smirks before turning and holding the microphone for Regan. Regan takes a few moments, breathing heavily.

Regan: “Datura…I hope you don’t mistake what just happened out there.”

Regan pauses for a moment.

Regan: “I respect you…I have to. You pinned my shoulders to the mat. You broke my fingers. You took a fight to me more than anyone else here could have ever tried to. But you’re wrong about it no longer being about my family…it’s DEFINITELY about my family. I went to defend them and failed and I’m not going to let that go. Not after everything that’s happened in the last four months. And I’m far from done.”

Regan looks right at the camera, pausing again.

Regan: “Quinne was collateral damage this time. You…I hope you’re enjoying catching your breath. Next time, you won’t get the chance. Datura…I’m going to let you know what is going to happen now. I am going to beat Ravyn Taylor for the Adrenaline Championship…and then I’m going to bring that title and I’ll be kind enough to let you have a shot. Who’s the kid that has a shot at it?”

Mikaela: “Aaron Blackbourne.”

Regan: “He’ll have a decision to make too. But you Datura…we are going to face again. And I’ll even give you this…choose the match. Try to beat me again. You wanted this…you wanted me motivated. You better believe I am motivated. I now know that my fingers may never be straight again. Never look the same. Well, Datura…before we are done, I will leave YOU with something to remember me by.”

Regan turns and walks off. Mikaela just drops the microphone as the crowd roars and we cut back to the ringside area.

We open up to see Adam Sharper and Jessica Winters at the announce table.

Sharper: “Talk about a moment we figured we may see. Datura and Regan Street confronting one another after this battle at Making Things Right, but now this whole rivalry has gone to another level.”

Jessica: “With how personal it got, anyone who thought it would end after one match…Datura’s sticking around and that means Regan has a constant reminder. And a woman like her is not going to just accept that unless she’s forced to.”

Sharper: “The question is whether any match may be signed by Katya at this point. Datura, we may hear from her, but just as likely to hear a cryptic message too.”

Jessica: “It all just got to a brand new level.”

Sharper: “Speaking of matches, in a couple of weeks, the 2019 Trios Tournament will come to you live in a special pay per view event. And as we noted earlier, it was something Katya could not finagle. The draw was done before Making Things Right ended and it was set. Mr. D making sure a couple of things couldn’t be changed.”

Jessica: “A couple. That. Regan getting an Adrenaline Championship rematch. Also rehiring Blake Mason, and ensuring that Katya would not be able to hire or fire. That remained overseen by her father.”

Sharper: “Let’s find out what are the eight teams of three that will compete for three contracts for any match they want in the next year.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

“Halo” by Boston Manor starts to play. We then see the SCW Trios Tournament logo come up on the screen.

“Team 1”

A shot of Alistaire Allocco comes up on the screen before showing him celebrating at Making Things Right. This turns to a shot of Datura smirking as she walks to the back. The image shifts to show Casterillo nailing someone with the Thunder Run.

“Team 2”

A shot of Konrad Raab hitting the Ice Storm on Josh Hudson. This is followed by a shot of Goddard walking down from the back. The shot of Goddard switches to a shot of Marie Jones stomping away on Sienna Swann.

“Team 3”

Kellen Jeffries hitting Dante McCaffery with the Game Misconduct is shown first, before turning to a shot of Glory Braddock locking in the Shekhinah Glory on Alistaire Allocco and then showing a shot of her smiling. Following this, we see a shot of Regan Street storming to the ring before seeing her nailing someone with a steel chair.

“Team 4”

Bree Lancaster hitting Aaron Blackbourne with the Classifier is next before we see Bree looking out at the crowd before cutting to show Syren posing on the stage and looking around before yelling at some fans in the crowd. The scene shifts to show Maddy Steward making her entrance and taking off her rabbit mask as she looks around.

“Team 5”

Giovanni Aries can be seen diving off the top rope and hitting the Through the Rabbit Hole on an opponent. We cut to him taking a drag of his cigarette before cutting to show Ruby Amarant standing in the ring before nailing someone with a forearm shot. Following this, Damian Angel is shown posing in the ring before punching the mat.

“Team 6”

Kandis swishing her hips back and forth in her entrance is shown first before we cut to see Andrew Raynes yelling at the crowd and then showing him coldly looking out from the stage. Following him, we cut to see Kimberly Williams running around and hitting people with Santa’s sack at the End of the Year Special.

“Team 7”

Peyton Rice making her entrance plays before we cut to show Chris Cannon nailing someone with the C4 and then showing him standing in the ring and looking around. Following that is a shot of Scarlet Grey walking out from the back before showing her hitting her fall forward reverse DDT on Aaron Blackbourne.

“Team 8”

Dawn Lohan nailing the Lohan Barrage on Tommy Valentine plays before we see Sam Raine locking in the headscissors into the armbar on Regan Street. Following this Aaron Blackbourne hitting the Unchained Creativity on Kimberly Williams follows before we see the Trios Tournament logo come up on the screen.

We cut to hear roars as the camera slowly pans across the crowd.

Sharper: “Some very interesting matches, but also opportunities for some to maybe get the stranglehold they want.”

Jessica: “Syren and Bree Lancaster having to work together. Remember last year. Opposite teams. Some tension obviously there. I then see a team like Peyton Rice, Chris Cannon and Scarlet Grey. Cannon and Rice will be on the same team and that’s a mentorship you can’t deny, but Scarlet Grey…that’s an X Factor.”

Sharper: “Datura and Regan Street both in the tournament. Marie Jones and Kim Williams on separate teams. Andrew Raynes could get exactly what he wants. You see a mix of fresh faces and established stars. Katya’s fingerprints nowhere on it and that alone has to be promising.”

Jessica: “All this just two and a half week away.”

Sharper: “Saturday, February 16. Live from Miami. The 2019 Trios Tournament and opportunity is the name of the game!”

The camera continues to pan the crowd for a moment longer before we cut backstage.

Backstage, we open up to see Kennedy Street and Katya standing outside of her office with CHBK and Xander with Katya. Donovan Kayl has notably joined Kennedy.

Kennedy: “Look, I get you don’t care for me. Trust me, I think you’re a spoiled brat. But you want to start going after my family just because your father has a respect for me and sees something in me. Like he has with many others.”

Katya: “Kennedy…if you think I had something to do with Manvel-“

Kennedy: “You were with Manvel and Adonis at Bound by Blood. So I know you get along with them.”

Katya: “So I happen to enjoy some of their products. Regardless…not important. Take that up with others. Outside of the fact that I think your husband has declined as an announcer-“

The crowd boos loudly. Kennedy rolls her eyes.

Kennedy: “Well you know what, Katya…consider this a warning. You wanted me to bring back Bitchy Keenie. Well, Katya, consider this Bitchy Kennie.”

Katya: “Great. Nice to meet you. By the way, before you leave tonight, let someone know your size of shirt.”

Kennedy: “The hell are you talking about?”

Katya: “Need to make sure you have a referee’s shirt. Because that Sienna/Bree match, you’ll be the special referee. Let’s see how Bitchy Kennie likes that.”

Kennedy: “Trinity didn’t hit you hard enough.”

Katya: “You’re welcome to try. By the way, where is Trinity?”

Kennedy: “You know damn well were. And she wanted to me to tell you…she’d do it again if she got the chance. And I’d damn sure take one too if given it. I just know that in three weeks, you’re gone and I’ll do whatever I have to make sure that sticks. Good news…that’ll probably make your father proud.”

The crowd ohs. Kennedy turns and heads off as the crowd roars and Katya watches her leave, glaring.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see Scott and Bree talking backstage.

Bree: “Can’t believe you did that.”

Scott: “Told Manvel. Told him about his love of Derek. Just hope it brought a smile to your face.”

Bree: “Definitely did. Knots deserved worse though.”

Scott: “I’ll see what else may be in the works.”

Andrew and Dustin then walk into the room.

Scott: “Should I leave-“

Andrew: “Don’t bother Scott. Look, Bree, you’ve got an opportunity next week and I don’t expect this to be…well…a calm affair.”

Bree: “After how she talked to you…I don’t blame you.”

Andrew: “We should have a rematch, but now we have to earn it.”

Andrew rolls his eyes.

Andrew: “Either way…you’ve got a potential shot…I don’t trust Angelica, James or Gio to not just try to injure you out of spite. So-“

Bree: “Look, I don’t need to be protected but.”

Andrew: “Trust me…you don’t need to be out there. But we need someone else.”

Bree looks around and then smirks.

Bree: “LEO!”

Bree looks off camera and LEO walks over.

Bree: “LEO…”

Bree turns to Andrew.

Bree: “He’s been making sure those tabloids stay away from me the last little bit. But…LEO, Network have someone.”

LEO: “Let me get on the phone.”

Bree turns to Andrew and Dustin.

Bree: “Problem solved.”

Andrew: “And I’ll at least blow off some steam.”

Dustin: “Works for me.”

The scene fades out.

Backstage, we see Lexy Chapel with Aaron Blackbourne in the SCW interview area.

Lexy: “That’s right. Your greatest backstage interviewer ever here. And I’m here with Aaron Blackbourne and Aaron, you won an Adrenaline Championship match. A big win and putting you back on track.”

Blackbourne: “One way to look at it. Given that I’ll be facing Ravyn Taylor and she’s someone who actually is aligned with the woman who arguably indirectly delayed my career for another month in Katya…I’m not sure what to think.”

Lexy: “You don’t think you actually have a chance? Do you?”

Blackbourne: “I realize you’re related to CHBK and you’re their personal cheerleader, but I will be ready for Ravyn and Ravyn, I understand, is brilliant. But creatively, she’s never dealt with someone like me and I will use that to the best I can. At some point, no matter how smart, you trip…and I will make sure I’m tripping.”

Lexy rolls her eyes.

Lexy: “Sure…back to the ring.”

We cut away.

Peyton Rice vs. Max Kane

The arena is silent when all of a sudden Max's Kane voice is heard through the PA system.

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

"Suck My Kiss" then hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane is propelled from underneath the ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and drops to his knees on the ramp, the camera right in his face. Max yells at the camera before he stands on his feet. Max looks around the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is sporting a black and orange tanktop. However, the tanktop has a Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction esue design with the skulls clearly showing Dante McCaffery, Jack Parker, Xander Valentine, Savali and Ms. Budde on the cross with the top reading "Rock N Roll Revenge Tour". Around his waist, he has a Scream Machine shirt. Max flashes the shirt to the camera before walking to the other side of the stage. Max then walks to the middle of the ramp and storms down the ring.

Max: They tried to put me down but...they can't do it. Take nine, give out ten. F them all.

Phillips: From San Francisco, California, weighing in at two hundred, ten pounds....The Rock N' Roll Unicorn, "Mad" Max Kaaane!

Max walks down to the ring, looking around the crowd, yelling to them. Max once again eyes the camera and he eyes it for a few seconds, flashing the Scream Machine shirt as well. The youngster picks up his pace and walks past the camera towards the apron. He runs into the ring and immediately runs up the top rope. Max yells to the crowd and then cheer as he looks to his left and then his right. He motions for the crowd to make some noise before he jumps off the ropes. He retreats to the corner and starts moving around. He sees he camera and flashes his tank top again. Max takes off his tank top and tosses it to the crowd. He then slides the Scream Machine shirt on the apron as well.

Sharper: “Kane always a wild card, you never know what you’ll get with him other than his feelings on anyone involved with the Network.”

Jessica: “Can’t blame him after all, but he isn’t facing any one of them. He is up against someone else.”

All of a sudden, the arena goes dark before a lone spotlight shines on the entrance, suddenly the opening beats to “All The Days" by Mammoth play throughout the arena as the beautiful Peyton Rice walks out in wrestling gear and jacket. Her long dark blonde hair hanging down. She looks around at the crowd before getting to one knee and making a line across the entrance, she crosses her arms and lowers her head for a moment before standing up and pointing to the ring as the crowd roars.

With her gorgeous and contagious smile, Peyton starts to walk to the ring, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before hopping into the apron and pointing the crowd before flipping over the top rope as the crowd roars and stepping on the second rope, raising her arms and looking up, she then thanks the fans while being announced….

Phillips: “From Glendale, Arizona! Weighing in at 115 pounds, here is “Pretty” Peyton Rice!”

The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little, standing in the corner and waiting for the match to begin…

Sharper: “Peyton Rice put in one hell of a display on the last Breakdown before Making things Right. She went up against the enigmatic John Goddard, a 30-year veteran.”

Jessica: “She not only went up against him, she went the distance almost only just missing the ten count which gave Goddard the victory.”

Sharper: “That is true, the two shared some exchanges on social media, the veteran paying respect to her and spoke candidly at how it was just one second.”

Jessica: “That was then though, tonight is all new with a far better suited opponent and both will be looking to get a win over the other in 2019. Meanwhile Peyton Rice still going by Pretty, hasn’t chosen a new moniker after the suggestion by Mr. D.”

The bell sounds and both Peyton and Max come out of their respective corners, Max a little more cockily but that is his nature. The two meet up in the middle to size up the other, Max says something and offer’s a hand which Peyton shakes which gets a great response from the crowd. They both then back up and begin to circle each other in the ring, their pace on full display here before once again meet up to the middle only to lock horns this time. Max gets the advantage and begins to push Peyton back towards the ropes. Kane pushes her back and goes for a clothesline but Rice ducks under and grabs hold of Kane and quickly rolls him up.

1… KICK OUT BY KANE!

Kane immediately springs to his feet as does Rice, the two sharing a look. Both smile before beginning to get into action once more, the two locking up once again with a knee this time from Rice to Kane, she clubs his back and shoots him to the ropes with an Irish whip. Kane leaps onto the second rope and spring boards back for a cross body which connects on Peyton taking her off her feet. Here Kane hooks a leg now…

1… KICK OUY BY RICE!

Both Kane and Rice get back to their feet, Kane going for a leg sweep which Rice leaps over. With Kane on a knee Rice goes for a quick side kick which Kane ducks under and now grabs hold of Peyton and rolls her up with a school boy…

1… KICK OUY BY RICE!

Kane gets back to his feet along with Rice, Kane now catching Rice with a knee to the chest while she was doubled over. He hits the ropes and looks for another but Pyton doubles down and doubles over for a back body drop on Kane who manages to land on his feet. Peyton quickly spins around and leaps up, in that same moment so does Kane and both hit telegraph drop kicks to each other pushing the other away ith both rolling to a corner and reaching a knee which causes the fans to cheer for both superstars at their back and forth.

Sharper: “Fantastic athleticism on display by both, neither letting up and the fans loved it.”

Jessica: “It was great to see, but they need to hit harder, they need fight not dance. This isn’t Swan lake.”

Sharper: “It isn’t, but it’s why these fans appreciate their work in that ring. Peyton applying her trade in Emerge as their champion for such a long time after all and Kane always delivering the best he has.”

Both Kane and Rice nod a little in respect to each other as they get to their feet. Peyton claps with a smile as does Kane.

Sharper: “These two young talents really showing what it’s like on the other side of the line that Katya has drawn in the sand recently.”

Jessica: “God don’t say her name, she might appear and do things.”

Back in the ring, Peyton points to the fans while looking at Kane who agrees with what she’s saying. The young woman is soaking up the appreciating form the fans tonight as is Kane, the two going for a lock up but Peyton delivers a stiff forearm shot to the face. She hits another before switching things to an European uppercut. Kane stumbles back only to run at Peyton who hits a hip toss and switches out into a nutbreaker. The crowd Ooohs while she covers hooking both Kane’s legs.

1…

2.. NO KICK OUT BY KANE!!

Sharper: “That hip toss neck breaker leaves a mark, Max Kane feeling it there.”

Jessica: “Almost three there.”

Peyton is back up to her feet while the SCW fans continue to cheer both her and Kane. She pulls him up with a club to the back, but Kane charges into Peyton and lifts her up onto his shoulder and runs into the nearest corner and driving her into it. She winces in pain holding her back while Kane now upright connects with a chop, he hits another to “Wooo’s” from the fans before backing up and running at Peyton and hitting an elbow smash of his own. Peyton then drops down to a seated position holding her face.

Sharper: “Stiff shot from Kane, Peyton felt that may be out there.”

Kane turns his back and walks away from the corner before spinning on his heels and running back towards a seated Peyton and hitting a cannon ball on the former Emerge Champion. He rolls out and grabs her feet before pulling her out of the corner, the cover following shortly after that.

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY RICE!!

The Fans roar with Peyton kicking out, she rolls away while Kane sits on the canvas, both showing signs of fatigue now for different reasons in this match. But both begin to continue to get to their feet. Kane runs towards Peyton who reads what he’s doing, she side steps and lets him run head first into the corner, he shoulder connecting with the ring post with an almighty crack. The fans “Oooh” loudly as Kane cries out in pain before stumbling back into Peyton who quickly spins around and drives her heel into the back of his head knocking him down to the canvas on his hands and knees. From there Peyton kicks him in the side, he winces in pain...

Sharper: “Peyton really taking it to Kane now, she isn’t letting up.”

Jessica: “Good!”

Peyton kicks him again before grabbing his arm and spinning it round her leg and rolling him up with a La Magistral Cradle! The fan’s roar at the sight as Kane struggles to kick out…

1…

2…

3? NO! KANE GETS OUT IN THE LAST SECOND!

Peyton looks at the official who shows two fingers, she slaps the mat and gets back up while Kane rolls away. She rushes over to grab him, but he gets up quickly and drives his shoulder into her midsection before lifting her up and over with a back body drop of his own.

Jessica: “What a close fall, Peyton can’t believe it and neither some of these fans.”

Sharper: “Can we check the replay?”

REPLAY:

The Replay shows Peyton first hitting the spinning heel kick to the back of Kane’s head, she then kicks him in the ribs twice before applying a La Magistral Cradle to him for a near three count. The replay showing, he did indeed kick out a fraction before the three.

Peyton winces holding her back while he continues to hold his shoulder. Again, the SCW fans get behind both talents in the ring with Peyton first to her feet, Kane follows suit and shakes out his arm a little to get some blood rushing to his shoulder.

Sharper: “A very near fall, can’t get much clearer than that. Unfortunate for Peyton Rice.”

An “Lets Go Peyton, Lets Go Max” Chant actually begins amongst the SCW fans. This gives both talent in the ring a burst of energy they both needed. Kane runs at Peyton and takes her down with a clothesline. Rice however springs back up and this time ducks under the next attempt this time spinning Kane around and hittinga spin kick to his gut and doubling him over. Their she runs the ropes looking for a knee lift but Kane dodges and applies a rear waist lock looking for a back body drop, but Peyton lands on her feet behind Kane and looks to roll him over once again.

1..

2.. KICK OUT BY KANE!

Peyton is pushed away to the ropes, Kane rolls back to his feet and Rice is now the attack where Kane blocks with a kick to the guy doubling her over where he pushes her head between his legs and lifts her up into the air for what looks like a powerbomb, but Peyton throws herself back and counters into a hurricanrana for another cover attempt.

1…

2….

NO! KANE REVERSES THE COVER!!

1…

2… NO PEYTON REVERSES THE COVER BACK!

1…

2…

3!!!!

The bell sounds and immediately Peyton rolls off Kane who holds his head and then his shoulder while she sits on the canvas before being helped to her feet.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match as a result of a pin fall… “PRETTY” PEYTON RICE!!!”

All The Days" by Mammoth hits over the P.A System while now PEytons arm is raised by the official. She smiles for a moment before looking at Kane and then exiting the ring to celebrate her first win in SCW with the fans in the aisle.

Sharper: “Hell of a bout between these two, both gave as good as they got. But Peyton Rice picked up the important win here.”

Jessica: “This match showed just what the Talent of SCW can do inside the ring, both good sports throughout and these fans loved it.”

Sharper: “They did an-“

Suddenly the cheers from the SCW fans begin to boo as the focus is no longer on Peyton in the aisle but the ring where Jack Parker is assaulting Max Kane with vicious right hands having appeared from the crowd. Jack in the ring is shouting at Kane while now up to his feet and stomping him repeatedly. The official is trying to break it up but has no luck. Peyton sees what is going on and is in two minds at first, but she shakes her head and begins to run down towards the ring which gets a roar from the crowd. Those are cut short however when from the ringside area waiting was Savali who charges at Peyton and takes her out with a running shoulder block.

Sharper: “Where did SAVALI come from?! What the hell we need security out here!”

Jessica: “Fat chance of that happening, this has to be Katya’s doing.”

Savali smirks as does Parker, she grabs Peyton and throws her into the ring where Parker looks ready to have a go assaulting her. Savali leaps onto the ring until suddenly the lights go out in the arena sending it into complete darkness.

Jessica: “What the hell now?!”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but we need these back on!”

The moment passes while camera flashes can be seen throughout, and it isn’t long before the lights come back after a rattlesnake strikes at the screen momentarily and standing there behind Parker is John Goddard with what looks like half a wolf mask on his face… Savali’s eyes widen at the sight while the SCW fans roar. Parker has no idea but realizes something is up but it’s too little too late with Goddard grabbing Parker and lifting him onto his shoulders and immediately hitting the burning hammer he calls a cross to bear. Peyton watches in shock at first but quickly rolls towards Goddard realizing he is there to help and starts to get up as does Kane, the three now standing in the ring while Savali still stands on the apron.

Jessica: “Wow, Goddard staring a hole right through Savali and she doesn’t know what to do.”

Sharper: “What do you do, it’s three on one now. The odds aren’t in their favour for once.”

The crowd roars once again when Savali jumps down and grabs Jack Parker and the two beginning to slowly back up the ramp towards the stage where John turns to check on Peyton before checking on Max Kane as well.

Sharper: “Katya must have had something to do with that, security not coming out here instead we go a Hellbilly and what a save that was. Things could have gotten a lot worse for both Peyton and Max, both gave a lot for this match moments ago….”

The SCW fans cheer loudly once again with the focus being on all three in the ring, shortly after that static hits the screen and the rattlesnake strikes before going to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Hana Ito backstage and with her is Konrad Raab.

Hana: “Hana Ito here with Konrad Raab. Konrad, you wanted some time to speak to Katya specifically. May I remind you that she’s our boss for the three weeks.”

Konrad: “I understand that. I don’t like it. But I’ll live with it for now. Where my attention is is on one of the people following her, Casterillo. You talk about keeping one’s word. He didn’t show up for his match against me two months ago. I refuse to just let that stand. I saw you allowed Ravyn to skip…do you all have no pride? So Katya, Casterillo, I want Casterillo in that ring and I want to start teaching some respect to some people around here. Needing to cheat to win…needing to use a hammer. I don’t care what Damian Angel did. Two wrongs don’t make a right…and we need more right around here.”

Hana: “Thank you Konrad. To the ring.”

We then cut away.

Giovanni Aries, Angelica Jones & James Evans vs. Andrew Raynes, Dustin Adams & Jack Parker

“Alive” by POD blares through the sound system, as the crowd begins to cheer. The cameras peer behind the curtain as James Evans and Angelica Jones make their way towards the entrance stage holding their World Tag Team Championship belts. Stepping from behind the curtain, James and Angelica go to opposite ends of the stage, saluting the crowd before making their way down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, coming to the ring, they are the World Tag Team Champions, Angelica jones and James Evans, Redemption!”

Both enter the ring on opposite sides before climbing to the top rope in opposite corners, garnering cheers from the crowd once more as the music comes to an end.

Sharper: “Another addition as Katya makes her mark. Redemption heading to the ring, about to tag with Giovanni Aries who started the show going after Katya.”

Jessica: “Yeah, but notice Katya didn’t put anyone in there against him from her supporters. She put Andrew Raynes, almost taunting him because of the tag title rematch demands and also because he’s angry. She’s very quickly shown her willingness to use others.”

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

"FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!!!"

Phillips: “Their partner, he is Giovanni Aries!”

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

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries has also been talking to Redemption. Redemption even stopping him earlier.”

Jessica: “We’re just started too. This is the first night of Katya’s reign.”

Sharper: “Still have a cage match to come. Owen Cruze to face Syren in our main event. Non-title, of course.”

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes, Dustin Adams and Jack Parker appear through the smoke, their eyes shifted towards the ring, focused, cold stares. They stand there for a few seconds still looking around, before making their way down the ramp, ignoring the fans.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, on their way to the ring, first, he is Jack Parker and his partners, they are Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams, the Brotherhood of the Sith!”

Adams enters the ring using the rings steps, as Raynes slides in under the bottom rope. Parker looks around the ring and hops onto the apron. He waits on the apron as Adams and Raynes then climb opposite corners and jaw with the crowd before Andrew hops down and looks at James and Angelica, only for Dustin to stop him. Dustin then backs him up as the bell sounds. Dustin then turns and nails James in the ribs and drags him out of the corner and throws him down. The crowd boos as Dustin stomps him in the ribs and then again and again and again. The referee tells him to back off. Dustin just shrugs and grabs James and pulls him up. James then suddenly nails him with a hard right. He nails him again but Dustin knees him in the ribs. He then turns and throws him into the corner. Dustin tags in Andrew. Andrew enters and kicks James in the ribs and then again and again and again. He starts to choke him in the corner.

Sharper: “Brotherhood of the Sith dominating early. Taking advantage of the cheap shot from Dustin Adams.”

Jessica: “And now just choking him. Andrew can blow off some steam, but he’d love to rather have a title shot. You know that.”

Andrew steps off. He backs up. He snaps at Angelica. Angelica goes to step in, but Giovanni stops her, almost being a calming influence oddly enough. He turns back and grabs James and drags him up. He then snapmares him down and pushes him to the mat. He jumps up and hits a knee drop. He then starts to choke him with his knee.

He steps off. James starts to get up and Andrew grabs him and clubs him in the back and then again. He spins him around and throws him into the ropes. James bounces off and Andrew goes to hoist him up, but James spins through. He then throws Andrew back with a back suplex. He turns and rolls over and falls into the corner as Giovanni Aries enters the ring, tagging himself in. Andrew starts to get up and Giovanni nails him in the ribs with a hard right and then another and another. Andrew falls into the ropes. Giovanni then reaches in and nails him with a series of hard rights.

Giovanni turns and nails Dustin with one. Dustin enters as the crowd roars and Giovanni backs up. The official stops Dustin and Giovanni turns and kicks Andrew in the ribs. He then turns and whips him into the corner. Giovanni runs after and Raynes gets a boot up. He then runs at Giovanni and clotheslines him down. The crowd boos. Giovanni rolls over and to the corner as Andrew turns and tags in Jack Parker while holding his jaw.

Sharper: “Andrew tagging out as Giovanni Aries and Andrew Raynes went right for one another.”

Jessica: “Giovanni willing to oblige what Katya wanted, likely to send a message. He’ll face whoever she throws at him.”

Sharper: “And now Angelica Jones and Jack Parker, the member of the Network taking a place for Bree who Andrew refused to let her risk injury for her opportunity next week.”

Jack Parker enters and Angelica kicks him in the ribs and then again. She grabs him and runs him into the corner. Angelica follows and kicks him in the ribs and then again. She grabs him to whip him across, but Parker spins through and pulls her into a vicious short-arm clothesline. He then gets up and grabs her and drags her to the ropes before starting to choke her, leaning on her back and yelling at James Evans. Just then, the crowd erupts in cheers as we see Dawn Lohan running out with a steel chair. The official is focusing on Parker choking Angelica.

We then hear a whack and impact as Andrew falls to the mats and the crowd erupts in cheers. Dawn then throws the chair at Dustin as he turns.

Parker backs off as Dawn then backs away from the ring. The crowd cheers as Parker turns and sees his partners down. Dustin winces as Andrew rolls over, arching his back, glaring at Dawn.

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan nailed Andrew Raynes with the steel chair! Revenge for Making Things Right!”

Jessica: “Referee was focused on Parker!”

Parker looks around and then turns around and Angelica kicks him in the ribs before double underhooking him and hitting the Hot Shot. The crowd roars. James Evans enters as Giovanni smirks from the apron. Angelica covers.

The crowd roars. Dustin grabs at the apron and looks in as Andrew starts to get up and falls into the barricade. Dawn walks to the back, glancing at Andrew.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Giovanni Aries, James Evans and Angelica Jones!”

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan helping ensure that Angelica Jones, James Evans and Giovanni Aries get the win. Andrew’s actions having consequences.”

Jessica: “And more importantly, Katya’s hope that Andrew and Giovanni would just take each other out. Didn’t happen.”

Sharper: “Had a fight in the middle. A taste. But the Tag Champs took over the rest and Angelica did not hesitate. Hot Shot and the Tag Champs get another win over Andrew Raynes as a result only certain to annoy him further!”

Parker remains down as Angelica and James celebrate. Giovanni remains on the apron as Andrew starts to head to the back. Dustin starts to follow as the crowd roars and we cut away.

We open up backstage to see Marie Jones and Kim Williams in the hallway.

Marie: “What are you doing?”

Kim: “Wandering…Am…am I not allowed?”

Marie: “No. I’m talking about earlier. Talking to Giovanni, to James…”

Kim: “To your mother.”

Marie: “Look…I’m going to get a rematch for the World Title. I know you don’t trust Katya. She doesn’t trust you. But please…try to make this work. For me.”

Kim nods and sighs.

Kim: “Okay…okay…”

Marie: “I want to make sure you’re in my corner. I get to face one of the greatest in wrestling history. This is as big as it gets.”

Kim smiles.

Kim: “Don’t worry. I’ll behave. For you.”

Kim smiles as Marie smiles too.

Marie: “Thanks.”

The two hug and we cut away.

Chris Cannon vs. Ikiro Yoshida

Sharper: “Welcome back to ringside and what a night we’ve had thus far. Chaos all over no thanks to Katya winning control of SCW for the next four weeks. Let’s focus on our next match which comes off of Making things Right. Chris Cannon lost via DQ to Xander Valentine and it was all because of Ikiro Yoshida.”

Knots: “Yoshida attacking both men when the official was down, but that green mist a first for Ikiro really making a mark before attacking Xander and trying to break his ankle.”

Suddenly Red and White lights begin to flash wildly when the opening to Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental) by David Garrett 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 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 Gentlemen, hailing from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan… He weighs in at two-hundred and thirty-nine pounds… IKIROOO YOSSSSHIIIDAAAA!!!”

The fans boo loudly for the Japanese superstar, he leaps back up onto his feet. He stares out at the crowd with a grin before 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. He looks out to the crowd from under his hair with that sinister smirk on his face while removing his jacket, he stands now and hands it to the ring crew and begins to stretch in the corner before the bell.

Sharper: “Such a shame what has happened to him, something drastically changed in his life it must have.”

Knots: “He got laid by an Angel, not just any either Sienna Swann! That’s enough to drive any man wild.”

Ikiro begins to pace back and forth in the ring while staring up at the stage when the big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken, the only image we see is that of a glistening perfect world logo. We then hear a woman’s voice that sounds a lot like Kelcey Wallace over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

The opening guitar to Prometheus by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, introducing at this time, Hailing from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, CA... He weighed in tonight at two-hundred and thirty-five pounds... HE IS CHRIS CANNON"

The crowd has roars for the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. Cannon stops and turns to look at one fan that is extending a hand which he would slap normally but doesn't as he continue down to the ring.

Sharper: “Speaking with Cannon earlier today, he told me he was ready for this. In fact, he was looking forward to it.”

Jessica: “He screws him out of a win against a legend like Xander Valentine? I would want a piece of Ikiro too!”

Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon then slides into the ring and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and then raises his arm above his head holding a fist as the crowd roars but not because of Chris but Ikiro who runs across the ring and leaps up only to push Cannon off the corner and to the mattings with a sickening thud! The crowd boo’s loudly now while Cannon lays on the mats holding his shoulder while inside the ring Ikiro poses arrogantly to the crowd. The official slides out to check on Chris to see if he is alright but while he does, Ikiro slides out as well and runs across ringside to plant a boot to the chest of Cannon!

Sharper: “Oh my god, stop this already! The bell hasn’t even sounded!!”

Jessica: “Ikiro knows this is the only way he’s going to beat Cannon, each time he has had his number!”

Ikiro drags Cannon to his feet and throws him into the apron while the referee yells at him to stop and the crowd boos. Ikiro turns and motions that he doesn’t understand him before turning back and clubbing the back of Cannon. Chris winces in pain and pushes Ikiro away, but it doesn’t’ do much with the Japanese star going back on the assault. The referee demands that he stops again, Ikiro instead throws Chris into the ring while the fan’s boo even louder than before.

Sharper: “Fans hate this, we hate this, and I can only imagine what Chris’ wife and son are thinking about this.”

Jessica: “No one likes it… But we’ve learned you can’t turn your back on anyone these days in SCW, especially Ikiro Yoshida.”

Once again Ikiro poses to the crowd with a grin, the official slides into the ring to check on Cannon once again. Ikiro notices and leaps onto the apron and enters, he tries to stomp Cannon, but the referee gets in his way and pushes him back this time exerting his authority. Ikiro tries to move past him but again the referee pushes him back, gaining some cheers from the crowd this time. Ikiro throws his arms up while Chris shouts out to the referee who looks to see him getting up now only to stumble into the corner.

Sharper: “Cannon isn’t ready for anything, but it looks like he wants to go.”

Jessica: “That’s the fight he has in him, he isn’t one to back down from a battle and let’s face it this is going to be one if the official allows it.”

The referee checks on Cannon who is on a knee now and holding his shoulder still from the fall off the turnbuckle to the outside. He asks Chris if he wants to go ahead and Cannon nods telling him yes. The referee asks one final time and again gets the same response. The crowd roars with the referee accepting the request and moves to the middle of the ring, he points to Ikiro who is now chomping at the bit excitedly. He looks to Cannon who continues to wince a little but looks ready as one can be. The official calls for the bell and Ikiro immediately run at Cannon, but Chris sprints out of his corner faster and connects with the C4!!!

Sharper: “C4!!! C4!!! Right out of the gate!!”

Jessica: “No way! He used that shoulder though…”

While the crowd roar, Cannon is holding his shoulder having used the possibly injured one to hit the spear. He grimaces before rolling over and lays back to chest on Ikiro Yoshida for a cover not evening hooking a leg.

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY YOSHIDA!!

Cannon winces again while Ikiro rolls away holding his ribs. The SCW firmly getting behind Chris Cannon who begins shaking his arm out. Ikiro starts to get to his feet slowly with a scowl on his face, Chris gets up as well and the two looks at each other. Yoshida says something to him in his native tongue which doesn’t get much of a response from Cannon who walks over to him and the two now going nose to nose with the SCW fans getting louder with each second. The tension between these two is thick with Yoshida pushing Cannon now, how only pushes him back the referee getting between the two momentarily which gives Ikiro enough time to rake Cannons eyes. Boo’s reign loudly next as Cannon stumbles back holding his face, Ikiro quickly following it up with a running clothesline taking Cannon down.

Sharper: “Ikiro showing how low he will go, the rake of the eyes behind the official who was just trying to calm things down.”

Jessica: “It’s effective, which is what Yoshida wants.”

Cannon rolls away and starts to get to his feet, but he doesn’t far with a running kick to the ribs from Ikiro. Cannon cries out in pain when Ikiro connects with another stiff shot to the ribs before leaping up and dropping a knee to the back of Cannon’s head with an assist of the canvas. Ikiro smirks as he flips Cannon over and loosely covers.

1… KICK OUT BY CANNON!!

Ikiro looks down annoyed that wasn’t enough, his arrogance getting the better of him while holding Cannon’s hair and mounting him. There he starts throw forearm shots at Cannon repeatedly before stepping away and screaming something in Japanese again while pointing at Cannon. Chris is holding his head and moving onto his hands and knees now staggered by the attack moments ago. Ikiro backs up and shakes his hand playing rock, paper, scissors with himself. Afterwards he runs across th erring and connects with a Yakuza kick to Cannon taking him off his feet, a huge leg drop follows across the chest of Cannon and once again Ikiro covers this time hooking a leg for good measure.

1…

2.. NO KICK OUT BY CANNON!!

Sharper: “Cannon is NOT giving up that easily.”

Jessica: “The more this goes on, the more Yoshida is going to wear him down though, he should live to fight another day.”

Cannon is dragged to his feet by Yoshida who once again can’t help himself and does another game of Rock, Paper, Scissors only this time he does a scissors sign only it looks like something else as he aims it at Cannon… Chris grimaces after a kick to the guy doubles him over and Yoshida pushes his head between his legs and lifts him up for a powerbomb before turning and running towards the corner. Cannon has other ideas and starts to hammer shots at Ikiro’s head though forcing him to drop the Brit. There Cannon hits a European uppercut and starts to throw haymakers at Ikiro forcing him towards the opposite corner with the crowd rallying behind Cannon.

Sharper: “Tables turning now on Ikiro Yoshida, Chris Cannon throwing those stiff shots, that brawling nature of his shining through.”

Cannon follows up with an Irish whip however Ikiro manages to spin through and stops himself short in the middle of the ring. Chris then runs at Ikiro but immediately Yoshida drives his foot square in the nuts of Chris Cannon! The crowd roars only to change to boo’s after the vicious low blow drops Cannon to his knees, the referee instantly calling for the bell while Yoshida stands there and laughs.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match as a result of a disqualification… Chris Cannon!!”

The crowd cheers but also boo’s at how the match had ended….

Sharper: “What the hell, stopped cannon in his tracks with that low blow…”

Jessica: “Beginning to think this wasn’t about winning for Yoshida.”

Ikiro bends down into the face of Cannon who is wincing, he then pulls Cannon up and spins around him before applying a rear waist lock before throwing him into the corner with the Wrath of Rajin. The SCW fans boo loudly now for Ikiro’s ruining of the match, but also due to the figure now limping down towards the ring…

Sharper: “Oh god, Xander is down here now!”

Jessica: “But he has to be after Yoshida, after what he did at Making Things Right… The ankle still doesn’t look comfortable to walk on.”

Valentine is limping to the ring, Yoshida has no clue right now as he motions for Cannon to get back to his feet. Xander slides into the ring and its then Yoshida realizes something is up. He turns around only to get take down with a clothesline from Xander. The Crowd actually cheer for a moment with Ikiro springing back to his feet and stumbling back and holding out his hands. Xander moves towards Yoshida who falls down to the canvas now and exits the ring and begins to back up with smirk on his face. Meanwhile in the ring Xander is yelling at Ikiro to get back to the ring. That is of course before he turns to see Cannon starting to pull himself up with the aid of the ropes…

Sharper: “Oh dear god no… He’s just been through the ringer with Yoshida, you don’t need to do this Xander.”

Jessica: “Tell that to him, he isn’t gonna listen.”

Xander turns to face Cannon who looks up now after standing on his feet, he looks around for Yoshida, but he’s already heeded backstage. Chris see’s Valentine and the two start to approach each other, there is no love lost between these two who begin jaw jacking. Chris telling him he only won on Sunday due to Yoshida. Katya is only in control right now because of that. Xander laughs and slugs Cannon with a right hand sending him stumbling back to the ropes. The crowd boo’s but not for long when Cannon runs out and leaps into the air hitting a superman punch of his own on Xander.

Sharper: “We’ve lost it now, these two going at it!!”

Cannon tackles Xander and takes him off his feet to the canvas and starts to throw right hands, the powder keg exploding with Xander rolling Cannon to his back and throwing shots of his on before pulling Chris to his feet and hitting him in the ribs, he hits him again this time with a knee with Chris leaning against the ropes. Xander wasting no time in hitting a short arm lariat taking Cannon up and over the top rope to the outside matting. The crowd reaction is wild and it gets louder this time with boo’s when SCW officials begin to run down and intercept Cannon who gets to his feet and looking to get back to the ring.

Jessica: “Now they come out here, Katya wanted Xander to have the upper hand!”

Sharper: “Cannon wants Xander though! The referees won’t allow it!”

Cannon continues trying to fight through the referees, pushing them away but they are aren’t letting up trying to calm him down. Inside the ring Xander is continuing to goad him while SCW goes backstage.

Backstage we see Katya watching with CHBK and smiling.

Katya: “Perfect.”

She turns as there’s then a knock at the door.

CHBK: “Come in.”

We then see Jordan Majors walk into the room. The crowd roars and boos.

Katya: “Jordan. How are you?”

Jordan: “I’m good. You’re in charge.”

Katya: “Yes. Have a problem with that?”

Jordan: “None. I just want one thing…”

Katya: “Which is?”

Jordan: “Well, in me you have the future of this company. So all I want…an opportunity to showcase it.”

Katya: “Well Ms. Majors…I think we can help you out.”

The crowd boos as the scene fades to black.

Backstage, we see Alistaire Allocco backstage and with him is Lexy Chapel. The crowd boos seeing him.

Lexy: “Alistaire. Great to talk to you. You’ve got the greatest backstage interviewer giving you this moment.”

Alistaire: “Finally some status to go with myself proving at Making Things Right with my victory over Glory Braddock. I told everyone that I would prove I should be in the upper echelon in this sport and 2019 is going to be my year. I feel it!”

Lexy: “Excellent. Well this is less an interview, but more just a moment to talk to you as Katya herself asked me to approach you. She’s really looking forward to meeting you next week. She wanted to tonight, but of course, first nights.”

Alistaire: “Absolutely. It’s a busy job running a company. Not like my father ever showed that though.”

Alistaire shakes his head.

Lexy: “So should I tell you you’ll meet with her.”

Alistaire: “Of course. I would be a fool not to meet with the boss. I look forward to it.”

Alistaire smiles as Lexy nods.

Lexy: “Thank you…and enjoy the show. And next week, you’ll totally start to see your career take off.”

Alistaire: “Inevitably it would. It just helps when the boss understands that. I mean, she did give me my rematch at Apocalypse. I would be a fool to ignore her.”

Lexy: “That’s right. It was her idea. Excellent.”

Lexy smiles and pumps her fist.

Lexy: “Totally kicking ass at all this.”

She then heads off as we cut away.

We expect the lights to go out as "The Memory Remains" by Metallica starts to play. The crowd cheers as we see a few moments pass and Blake Mason walks out from the back in a suit, but also a microphone. Blake Mason looks around and the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “He’s back!”

Jessica: “We saw him get involved at Making Things Right. And we heard earlier…it sounds like he’s back!”

Blake looks around. He then turns and walks over to the side of the stage and turns as he looks at the entrance way. His music fades out as he looks around, with the microphone coming up to his mouth.

Blake: “That’s right…I’m back!”

The crowd roars.

Blake: “And while what I tried to do didn’t work out…and Syren…you hold onto that title tightly. Sienna…trust me, I made no mistake when I hit you too with the BME. I’ve had a lot of time to think while at home and well, I’m back with a new outlook and if it means I have to make a few people’s lives hell…I will.”

The crowd roars. We then cut backstage to see Sienna Swann glaring at the monitor, with Laura with her too.

Blake: “But I’m out here for another reason. See, I’ve got a contract. A brand new one with SCW. Katya, you have to live with it. But there’s something else you have to live with….and Chris…I know you’ll want to hear it. If you want it, it’s there. But one thing Katya can’t touch…your closure. You have a match against me, it’s in writing. It’s notarized and Chris…I know this is your call. But at Retribution…I can’t think of a better night. But that’s on you. Let me know. Until then…consider me around to watch your back.”

Blake backs up as the crowd roars. “The Memory Remains” starts to play again and the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Blake Mason not only back, but got it official. He will have a match against Chris Cannon. It’s protected now. The one thing Chris Cannon was particularly upset by in the last month.”

Jessica: “And rightfully so, but Blake also offering Retribution as a potential end date. Will that be the case?”

Blake then turns and heads to the back.

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as we see Syren, CHBK, Christy Matthews and Alexander Crowe walking through the backstage area.

Sharper: “And there you see, Syren, with all of the backup.”

Jessica: “For a cage match…I don’t like this.”

Sharper: “It’s ominous for Owen Cruze and –“

Just then, we see Cassidy Carter coming up from behind and nailing Christy Matthews from behind. She falls into CHBK and Crowe who fall into Syren. The crowd roars. Cassidy stomps away at Christy as she covers up. She gets a few good shots in before we see a couple of officials heading over and stopping her. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter going after Christy Matthews, the woman who cost her the World Championship!”

Jessica: “I was wondering where she was!”

The scene fades to black.

Knots: “Trust me. Much better now. The burning. My God, the burning.”

Sharper: “Well glad that you’re okay.”

Jessica: “I don’t think I want to know.”

Knots: “Don’t worry, Jess. Not going to tell you!”

Sharper: “Anyway, this match could be a big one. Steel cage. Syren facing Owen Cruze.”

The opening beats to Southpaw Swagger's “It's Showtime” kicks in over the speaker system, the fans jumping to their feet in acknowledgment of who is about to step out onto the stage. A huge roar greets Owen Cruze as he steps out onto the stage, a massive grin on his face

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for TV time remaining, and is a steel cage match and your main event of the evening!” First, on his way to the ring, from New Orleans, California, he is Owen Cruze!”

"It's Showtime!"

He brings his arms out to his side, nodding his head. His arms shaking he brings them in, crossing them across his chest.

"It's Showtime!"

He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking to the ring. He runs up the ring steps and into the cage. He looks around before hopping over the ropes and into the ring. He then immediately climbs up to the top turnbuckle before climbing to the top of the cage. He looks out and applauds the fans, which gets another huge reaction from them. He then jumps down to the top turnbuckle and backflips, landing on his feet and bounces off the ropes, awaiting the arrival of Syren.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze about to face the new World Champion inside a solid steel cage. Owen Cruze and Shaun Cruze, who made a surprise appearance at Making Things Right, attacking CHBK, and Syren taking it personally.”

Jessica: “She’s come to see CHBK as a father figure and a mentor and someone close to her, so she takes anyone who goes after him personally.”

The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. In the darkness we hear the thumping of a heart beating twice. With each beat we see a pink heart on the screens, and pink lights on the stage flashing in unison. After a few more seconds of darkness we hear the heart beating twice more, accompanied by the same lights. A few more seconds of darkness are followed by two more flashes of light, this time in a silhouette against the lights we see the figure of a woman standing. Two more heart beats once again show the silhouette of the woman. The crowd boos and “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. The lights come back up as the crowd boos louder to find Syren standing in the middle of the stage, holding the SCW World Championship. With her is CHBK.

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by CHBK, from Malibu, California, she is the SCW World Champion, Syren!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Syren turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words “JUST BE JEALOUS” accompanied by her heart-logo. She spins back around before pointing toward the ring and starting to head down toward it. CHBK walks with her. She gets to the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then enters the cage, stepping through the ropes. She turns and hands the World Championship to CHBK, who takes it and places it over his shoulder. She then turns and looks at Owen as the referee on the floor closes the door behind her. He locks it and CHBK watches him. Syren takes off her ring jacket and places it in the corner.

Sharper: “Syren ready to go. More than just talk.”

Knots: “Owen needs to be careful. She’s taken every shortcut in the book, so shortcuts or not, she’s a threat.”

The bell sounds and Syren steps up as Owen looks at her. The two circle the ring as a loud “Owen!” chant breaks out. Syren then lunges and goes for the eyes of Owen. Owen blocks it and knees her in the ribs. Owen nails her with another knee and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Owen hits a hip toss. Syren rolls over and turns and Owen walks over and kicks her in the ribs. He whips her into the corner. Owen runs after and Syren gets a boot up. Owen stumbles out and Syren runs out and tackles Owen down. Owen hits the mat and Syren lunges and nails him with a series of hard right hands to the jaw. Owen pushes her off. Syren rolls over and gets up. Owen gets up and Syren rakes his eyes. Owen falls into the ropes.

Sharper: “Going for the eyes! No surprise there.”

Knots: “Syren wants to teach Owen a lesson. She’s just got every reason to be angry. Never mind she screwed Sienna and Cassidy. She’s the World Champion.”

Jessica: “Not enough for her. Owen attacked her mentor.”

Syren kicks Owen in the ribs and then again. Owen winces and Syren grabs him and snapmares him down and hits a spinning leg drop to the face. She goes for the pin.

Owen kicks out. Syren gets up and Owen slowly stirs and Syren grabs him by the head and pulls him up and goes to run him into the steel, but Owen blocks it. He elbows Syren in the ribs. He hits a back kick. Syren falls back to the ropes. Owen turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Syren steps up for a clothesline. Owen rolls underneath and then jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a crossbody. The crowd roars. He rolls through. Syren gets up and Owen hits a dropkick. More cheers. Syren gets back up and Owen grabs her and whips her into the corner. Owen runs after. Syren steps out of the way, but Owen runs up the corner. The crowd roars and Syren turns around. Owen dives off and hits a corkscrew moonsault. He rolls through and Syren turns and shakes her head, wincing in pain.

Sharper: “Owen with the speed! Corkscrew moonsault, down goes Syren!”

Knots: “Syren can eye poke and take short-cuts. Owen may just be too fast!”

Syren slowly gets up and Owen clubs her in the back and then again before scooping her up and slamming her down. Owen runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a powerdrive elbow. He then goes for the pin.

Syren kicks out. She slowly rolls over and Owen grabs her and drags her up. He then turns and whips her into the ropes. Syren bounces off and Owen lifts her up and hits a huge back drop. The crowd roars. Syren rolls over and turns and Owen looks at her and nails her with the Morality superkick. The crowd cheers. Owen goes for the pin.

Syren shoots her shoulder up.

Knots: “If Owen had won that…with a superkick?’

Jessica: “We’d be hearing it forever. Using CHBK’s move that he became known for in his career.”

Knots: “Owen has a set on him.”

Syren rolls over and Owen grabs her. He hoists her up and hits a vertical suplex. Owen turns and points to the ceiling as the crowd roars. Owen then starts to get up and climbs up to the top rope. He turns, but Syren runs over and falls into the ropes. Owen lands hard on the top turnbuckle. He grimaces in pain.

Knots: “Oh no! Not his set!”

Syren then springboards to the top rope before grabbing onto the cage. She kicks Owen in the face and then again and again. She then stands on the top rope while choking Owen with her foot. The referee asks for a break as Syren keeps choking Owen. Syren yells at him the entire time. She then steps off and kicks him one more time. She then jumps down. She grabs Owen and pulls him out by the arm and just pulls him out, causing him to land into the mat. The crowd ohs and boos. Owen rolls over. Syren then stomps him in the face and then again. Owen rolls over and Syren stomps him in the head again. He rolls over to the corner. He starts to get up and Syren starts to choke him again with his boot, stepping onto the middle rope for more leverage. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Syren just starting to choke and torture him.”

Knots: “The kicks in the corner. The choke against the steel. Now in the corner.”

Sharper: “This may be what she wanted.”

Syren keeps the choke on for a few moments longer before hopping down. She then grabs him and pulls him out of the corner and hits a drop toe hold. She gets up and hits a leg drop. She rolls off. Owen rolls over. The crowd again starts to chant for Owen as Syren pulls herself up. Owen rolls over and Syren grabs him. She looks around before turning to throw him into the cage, but Owen jumps up and press off with his feet and backflips off. The crowd roars. Syren looks at him stunned before turning to nail him, but Owen lifts her up and falls back into the steel, driving her into it. She falls back and rolls over, holding her face. She turns around and Owen runs at her and hits a spinning heel kick. The crowd roars. Syren rolls over and pops up and Owen hits the step-up enziguri. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Big enziguri and Owen Cruze has the World Champion down.”

Jessica: “Not going for the cover though. You win this by pinfall or submission!”

Owen Cruze looks around as the crowd roars. He then points up again. More cheers. He then turns and starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd roars. Owen then looks around before starting to climb up to the top of the cage. As he does, we see CHBK, Alexander Crowe and Ravyn Taylor start to head down from the back. A few feet behind them is Marie Jones. Jones gets half way before Kim Williams stops her. CHBK and Alexander Crowe head around the ring and Owen gets to the top of the cage. The crowd roars. Owen looks at Syren who is still down and then looks over at CHBK and Crowe. Ravyn heads around the opposite way as Marie is stopped by Kim. Owen then looks at the crowd as they cheer. He then turns and dives off the top of the cage and onto CHBK and Crowe on the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers. Owen rolls through.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze from the top! My God! Onto CHBK and Crowe!”

Knots: “Guess he’s not learning! Just took out CHBK and now Syren’s husband!”

Jessica: “But he’s out of the cage!”

Sharper: “He has to get back into it if he wants to win though!”

Marie then pulls away from Kim and runs over and goes to the official. The official on the floor tries to stop her, but Marie goes to the door and undoes the latch. Owen starts to get up and turns and staggers to the door, but Marie swings the door hard into his face. The crowd ohs and Owen hits the mats. Marie turns to Kim and asks for her help as Ravyn checks on Alexander and CHBK. Marie and Kim then both grab Owen and drag him up and turn and push him into the cage. Owen crawls forward, half out of it and rolls over. The crowd boos loudly. Marie jumps up and closes the door as Owen steps up and Syren grabs him and hits the Total Makeover. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Syren with the Total Makeover as he gets up. Damn it!”

Syren rolls Owen over and covers him.

The bell sounds, but as this happens, Marie opens the door and Ravyn, CHBK and Crowe enter the ring with Kim, but not to go after Owen. Instead, it’s because Chris Cannon, Blake Mason, Aaron Blackbourne and Giovanni Aries start to try to get to the ring. Crowe quickly holds the door closed.

Sharper: “Backup here for Owen. May be too late for the match, but ready to fight tonight! Katya still has to deal with the tension!”

Knots: “And it’s just starting. Three more weeks of this await!”

Syren looks around as Crowe keeps holding the door as Chris tries to open it. CHBK, Ravyn, Kim and Marie also look around as Owen remains down in the corner and the scene fades to black…
