“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Thirteen locking in the Last Breath on Christian Savior. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx nailing Wild Bill with the SCW Underground Championship before smiling as the shot freezes and flies at the screen.

“You can't erase this deep inside of me
I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

We see Kennedy Street posing before the shot freezes and flies at the screen. A shot of Kelcey Wallace holding up the SCW World Championship is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star Frog Splash, before switching to a shot of Aiken, Rachel Foxx and Rachel Frost standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

“I cherish the love and
I cherish the life that's inside of me
And I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

Shots of Lucas Knight and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Collin Cole nailing David Helms with the Cole Killer, and followed by a shot of Shaun Cruze hitting the C5 on Greg Cherry are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of Devon Kayl at someone is shown before flying past the screen.

“Won't you come and rescue me?
Separate myself from me
Maybe I'm too blind to see
Save my life, rescue me.”

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Gable Winchester, Havoc Warrior Exodus, Thorn & David Helms, Soopaman Luva, Syren, Regan Street, Ben McCaron, Harmony Fisher, William Mason, Matt Auclair, Merrick Wiseman and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.

“Rescue Me” continues to play as we see shots of some of the last fans entering the arena at the entrances as security checks their tickets. A couple flash their tickets at the cameras as we cut to then a shot of some fans in the concessions chanting “SCW! SCW! SCW!”

Dawson: “From the home of the Thunder of the NBA…we bring the thunder and lightning in professional wrestling. SCW Breakdown is in Oklahoma City. Eleven days away from the biggest event of the year!”

The scene changes as we then see a camera pan down across the panel in the Supreme Studio to see Jim Dawson and Dean Black at the table.

Dawson: “Welcome to the Supreme Studios here. Jim Dawson, here with Dean Black. And well, we would have a third member of this panel, however, they have elected to come in via satellite….former World Champion, Brent Randall.”

The big screen behind the panel cuts from the live shot of the inside of the Chesapeake Energy Center to a shot of Brent Randall standing in front of his trophy case in his mansion. He just smirks as he looks at the screen.

Randall: “Took you guys long enough to get my mug up there. I mean, seriously, you know that your yammering isn’t helping much out. There are probably people flipping over to check out how their crappy baseball team is doing. But speaking of crappy, I guess you want me here to speak on the state of affairs in SCW, huh?”

Dawson: “Well, that is why we would have you here in the studio, Mr. Randall. But we will attempt to accommodate your schedule here.”

Randall: “Damn right. You have a hall of famer and all around star in your midst.”

Dawson: “Last week, Breakdown ended with Jake Starr and Shaun Cruze fighting-“

Dawson’s then cut off by Brent Randall.

Randall: “That’s great. You know what we should talk about. Merrick Wiseman running around like a chicken with his head cut off just because well…apparently, there is someone who does this justice thing better than him. I mean, he looked just like him and he came out and made sure that Wiseman not only won, but we didn’t need to watch Silas’ little group of whores run out to the ring and beat him half to death. That’s a result. And all it took was someone with the guts to bring him in. Well…two people. Two people who know how wrestling work. I hope Wiseman gets the hint. We’ll find out. Isn’t the masked jackass in action later tonight?”

Black: “He will be against William Mason, who-“

Randall: “That’s great. Hopefully he’ll get the hint and use that damn bat he brought with him and beat him over the head with it. That’ll be a result!”

Dawson turns to the camera.

Dawson: “Thank you Brent. We’ll check back with you later.”

Randall: “Aww, you’re already-“

Randall is cut off as we cut back to show Jim Dawson and Dean Black at the panel. We then see a shot of the end of Breakdown watching Cruze and Starr brawl backstage.

Dawson: “Sorry about that. Brent Randall obviously a passionate man and it got him to the SCW Hall of Famer. He’s one of the inductees this year.”

Black: “Still…but, passionate you could say the same for Shaun Cruze and Jake Starr.”

Dawson: “Interesting segue.”

Black: “Thanks. But fortunately, they were stopped before either of them actually fought into traffic, but it just shows how personal this all is turning out to be. But even still, one thing lost in it all was that Jake Starr got to Kelcey Wallace and attacked her with a chair. And later tonight, Kelcey Wallace will be in action. But Jake Starr will face off against Chris Cannon to kick things off and you know what…that’s going to be interesting. Silas Mason will have nothing to do with helping Cannon, but Cannon will be out for blood. Kelcey Wallace is still Starr’s wife.”

Dawson: “That she is. And that match will be kicking things off when we head to Oklahoma for Breakdown.”

Dawson pauses for a moment. We then see a shot of Selena Frost and Dylan Cent with the Adrenaline Championship underneath.

Dawson: “It’s a big night tonight. Adrenaline Championship will be on the line. Dylan Cent earning a shot after beating Ryan Watson last week. Thomas Watson will be watching. Selena Frost meanwhile may be looking over her shoulder for Requiem who can’t be happy about last week.”

Black: “Take out Aiken. Beat Rachel Foxx. You’re asking for trouble. The good news is that at least the Falconry may be willing to help them out.”

Dawson: “Along with that, Kelcey Wallace in action. She’ll face off against Tommy Valentine. But also a big champion versus champion match. US champion Ravyn Taylor against Underground Champion Matt Auclair. Eleven days away from Rise to Greatness.”

Black: “It’s time to get serious if you’re not. This is when you make it or break it.”

Dawson: “And let’s now go to Oklahoma, the Chesapeake Energy Center for Breakdown. Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters are there for the call!”

The scene cuts to a shot of the inside of the Chesapeake Energy Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The spotlights circle as we hear the crowd roaring. A few moments pass before we hear Adam Sharper’s voice.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Oklahoma City. Eleven days away from Rise to Greatness and the tension is just building and building. Isn’t it Shawn?”

We cut to ringside to see Shawn Winters and Adam Sharper at ringside.

Winters: “That’s putting it mildly. Whenever two people start to fight and ignore basic traffic laws, you know that its getting personal. They were fighting INTO a danger zone. Jake Starr and Shaun Cruze don’t like each other.”

Sharper: “I’m pretty sure Syren and Kelcey Wallace, thrown into that mix, don’t either. Respect, maybe. Like, another story. But we’ll see what happens. Jake Starr in action in mere moments. Kelcey Wallace to go against former World Champion Tommy Valentine later tonight. A lot going on tonight. US Champ against Underground Champ and also the Adrenaline Title up for grabs. But let’s kick tonight off.”

Winters: “Time for a husband to stand up for his wife!”

Chris Cannon vs. Jake Starr

The lights in the arena slowly dim, culminating in a sea of darkness. A male voice is heard over the PA system. His diction is firm, and fierce, as if trying to "rally the troops," or give a "pep talk" to someone, and his message is clear...

Rise up and take the power back,
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend!

After he finishes, there is a massive explosion of pyro from the stage. "Uprising" by Muse begins to emanate from the speaker system, and laser beams begin to fire around the arena. As the song reaches the opening verse, two spotlights drop onto the entry way where Jake Starr stands, back to the crowd, head looking down, and his fist pointed straight to the heavens. His arm is tense and shaking. He slowly turns his fist so it's now pointing "backward," and as he lowers it down, bending at the elbow, he spins his body around, and trusts his fist forward, directed straight toward the ring, to a huge roar from the audience.

Along with the thrusting of his arm, he begins walking toward the ring. His path is slow and steady, pausing several times to take in to account the fans holding their hands up as a sign they stand behind the Social Misfit cause. As the second chorus kicks in, Jake reaches the apron of the ring.

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
So come on

As the chorus plays, Jake climbs up onto the apron. He looks in all four directions, including behind him. As the chorus ends, and the "Hey" chants come over the loud speaker, the crowd is illuminated by bright white lights, and with each chant, thrust their fists skyward. Several fans have signs in the shape of the infamous "Misfit Revolution" fist.

Jake nods, and with one final show of leadership to the "followers" of the Social Misfit cause, he thrusts his fists skyward one last time, which ignites one final explosion of pyro from each of the four ring posts.

He then walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs up onto the second turnbuckle of one of the corners, and mouths the words, "You're looking at the best in the fucking world," and then points out to the crowd saying, "Nobody will stop me... Not in MY HOUSE!" Jake then raises his fist in the air again, pointing at it, and screams, "THIS IS WHO I AM!"

Sharper: “Jake Starr fired up and ready to go here tonight.”

Winters: “Yeah. But does he know what he may be getting ready for. Chris Cannon can’t be happy.”

Sharper: “You have to wonder if Jake Starr just chalks that all up to be a casualty of all of these attempts by Silas Mason and Shaun Cruze to take him and Syren out of the main event of Rise to Greatness.”

Winters: “And they’re running out of time for that!”

The big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken. 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 as Chris Cannon walks out from the back. He looks down at the ring. He then starts to head to the ring.

The crowd roars with a mixed reaction, some cheer for the British superstar while others boo him. Cannon then bolts into the ring and slides in. He gets up. The crowd roars as the bell sounds and Jake is nailed with a hard right. Starr falls back and Cannon nails him again. He then kicks him in the ribs and gets him to the corner. The crowd boos as Chris Cannon hammers away on Jake Starr with shot after shot after shot.

1!

2!

3!

4!

Cannon steps back and turns to the official.

Winters: “These people are booing Chris Cannon. He’s only fighting for the honour of his wife!”

Sharper: “A lot of Jake Starr fans here and a lot of people who are probably cheering for him regardless.”

Jake pulls himself up and Chris kicks him in the ribs. He whips him across the ring and runs after him, but Starr gets his elbow up. Chris stumbles back and Jake runs out of the corner with a clothesline. The crowd cheers. Chris Cannon rolls over as Jake Starr then kicks him in the ribs and runs him over to the corner, driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. He turns and Jake nails him with a chop. The crowd woos. Jake then grabs him and pulls him out and into his elbow, knocking him down. Chris hits the mat and Jake turns and springboards to the top rope. He dives off, but Chris moves out of the way. Jake hits the mat and rolls through, avoiding too much damage. Chris however gets up and clotheslines him down. Jake then rolls over to the ropes. Chris starts to get up.

Sharper: “Oh! What a clothesline. Vicious shot and Jake Starr rolls to the ropes instinctively.”

Winters: “Just go to the floor. Then you don’t have to worry about the stomps!”

Chris starts to get up and just then, the crowd bursts into boos as we see, running down from the back, Scott Cannon, Angelica Jones, Brittany Lohan and shortly after, we see Kraven Wallace, Harmony Fisher and finally Silas Mason. Chris gets up and Angelica slides in and runs over and hits a running clothesline. He falls over and Lohan then grabs him and nails him with a hard forearm before Scott Cannon grabs him and forces him over into the corner and pins him, leaning on him.

Sharper: “Damn it! Silas’ World! Silas Mason leading his damn army out here and ending this match!”

Winters: “Guess they’ll take care of it themselves!”

Sharper: “And look! Scott Cannon holding down his own brother!”

Harmony Fisher is forced into the ring by Kraven as Kraven then enters in after her. Lohan turns and runs over and Starr gets up and nails Angelica with a hard right before nailing Lohan with a shot. Harmony then runs over and kicks him in the ribs. She looks away a bit before kicking him again and Kraven runs over and just shoves him back, spearing him in the corner. Angelica then moves in and nails Starr with repeatedly kicks to the ribs as Lohan just starts to stomp at Starr’s head. Silas walks up the steel steps and just kicks his boot towards Chris, just for added insult to injury before entering the ring, showing he also has a microphone with him. Angelica gets him to down to a seated position and Lohan then moves in and grabs him before pulling him out. She places her boot on his head as Angelica stomps him a few times. Kraven nods to Harmony and she does the same. Silas just laughs.

Sharper: “This is disgusting!”

Winters: “Welcome to what happens when you go after his Babygirl!”

Silas just looks at Jake before turning to Chris.

Silas: “Chris…ya know I can handle this better than you could and yer lucky that right now, yer just watchin’. Angelica will take care of you and the dumb ass Texan at Rise to Greatness. Right now, my focus is on Jake here.”

Silas squats down and looks at his face as Starr tries to struggle.

Silas: “Ha! This is great. I could just watch ya try and get out of there. Hell, I’d love to see what you’d try ta do if we let ya free, but then again, you’d be running right into traffic there, wouldn’t ya!”

Silas smirks as he gets up.

Silas: “So the question is whether we do this the easy way or the hard way and you know what…I don’t care. Just drop him on his damn head! Over the top if ya can!”

Silas then turns and steps back. Lohan steps off of him as Starr stirs but Kraven then knees him in the ribs. Jake falls to his knees and Kraven lifts him up and throws him to Harmony Fisher who then just grabs him, looks at Silas before dropping him with the Sever the Strings. Starr rolls over and Lohan grabs him before he just roll out of the ring. Chris tries to get around Scott and Scott leans into him more. We then see Syren run out from the back, a chair in hand. Behind her is Merrick Wiseman with his U.S. flag emblazoned bat. The crowd roars. Syren slides into the ring and Silas quickly bails as Lohan then lifts Starr up onto her shoulders.

Sharper: “Look! Syren! Wiseman! And Wiseman has that bat!”

Winters: “Silas! Move quick!”

Sharper: “And look! Lohan is living Starr up. They’re trying to end him!”

Syren turns and nails Scott in the ribs and he hits the mat. Syren is then knocked down by Kraven Wallace who is quickly nailed in the back by Wiseman’s bat. We then see Tommy Valentine and Simon Lyman run down from the back. Syren slowly gets up as Wiseman turns and throws the bat down before running at Lohan and nailing her in the ribs. She drops Starr and Angelica then jumps up and boots Wiseman in the face. He falls back and Lohan then mounts him and nails him with a couple of good blows before we see Tommy and Simon enter. Harmony pulls Lohan off and Angelica exits the ring. Kraven rolls to the floor and Silas looks around, yelling at everyone for ruining the assault again. Harmony and Lohan exit as Syren gets up and Tommy and Simon get up. Simon pulls Merrick up as they all patrol the ring.

Sharper: “Syren, Wiseman, Lyman and Valentine. They’ve turned back Silas’ World. Again. They can’t get it done!”

Winters: “Good for Jake. Silas Mason meanwhile has to be losing it.”

Chris Cannon starts to slowly get up in the corner. Jake Starr looks at him as he gets up too. Wiseman looks around.

Winters: “We even saw Wiseman use a weapon!”

Sharper: “Just as lawmen and women use to control a riot, he did so here with a lot of help. Silas Mason is regrouping. So is Silas’ World and for once, they don’t have the massive numbers advantage. It’s even!”

Silas Mason yells at the ring as Lohan and Jones walk past him. Harmony walks past him too. Scott Cannon starts to calm Silas down, trying to get him to retreat as Kraven Wallace watches the ring. They start to back up as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Silas’ World is retreating. Scott Cannon trying to pull Silas Mason back.”

Winters: “He wanted to see what would happen if Jake Starr got out of it…well, this could be his chance!”

Sharper: “Silas’ World unable to get their goal done. Chris Cannon and Jake Starr don’t get their match....but they still are standing.”

Lyman, Wiseman, Valentine, Syren, Chris Cannon and Jake Starr watch them head off as Syren holds the chair up, grabbing it again. Silas Mason just continues to glare at them as he turns and heads to the back with Angelica Jones, Harmony Fisher, Brittany Lohan, Kraven Wallace and Scott Cannon.

We open up backstage to see Mr. D watching the monitor before shaking his head.

Mr. D: “I’m getting sick of this.”

Alicia, his assistant, just looks at him.

Mr. D: “And worst of all, I now have that whole business of Chris Cannon probably wanting to still get his hands on Jake Starr because of what happened last week.”

Alicia: “He did attack his wife…”

Mr. D: “I know. The problem is to just have them fight again with Silas and his people running around and we already know he has no problem getting people fired to make his point…”

Alicia: “So you’re going to sign a rematch?”

Mr. D: “I am. They’re going to face against tonight, but in a slightly different match…”

Alicia: “What are you thinking?”

Alicia types on her tablet as she looks back up at Mr. D.

Mr. D: “Can you go talk to the people in the production trucks? We don’t have the normal cage here, but do we have something that may work for that here. I know that we just throw a lot of things in the trucks. Needed or not. Hopefully they haven’t cleaned them out.”

Alicia: “No problem. I’ll be back shortly.”

Mr. D: “Thanks Alicia.”

Alicia walks out of the office as Mr. D just sits down at his desk.

Winters: “Looks like the boss is working fast!”

Sharper: “We’re going to see Jake Starr and Chris Cannon get a real match…and it looks like he’s thinking about making it a cage match.”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Silas Mason in the Silas’ World locker room as Kelcey Wallace and Taylor Chase-Cruze are in the background. All of the individuals seen in the attempted attack are in the ring too.

Silas: “I can’t believe it. Again! Again! This is gettin’ a bit to pissin’ me off!”

Kelcey: “Then maybe that’s a sign to stop.”

Silas turns and walks over to Kelcey.

Silas: “Ah…babygirl. But this is war. If they hadn’t stuck their nose into yer perfection, they’d be free to do as they wish. But they showed their stupidity and I’ve shown my cards there. They will be dealt with.”

Kelcey: “But I don’t want them to be dealt with. I want to face them.”

Silas: “A wonderful thought, but you know this is about you finally showin’ that you are, without a shadow of a doubt, better than Cruze-“

Almost as if on cue, the door opens and we see Shaun Cruze walk in. Yvonne Knight is behind him and immediately Scott Cannon and Kraven Wallace stand up and stand in his way.

Cruze: “Hold it…hold it.”

Silas: “Ah…Shaun, we were just talkin’ about ya.”

Cruze: “Well good that you’re talking, but you’re not doing too much beyond that.”

Silas: “Whatever do you mean-“

Cruze: “Another attack and nothing…that bastard nearly got me killed by fighting me to the street and after everything that’s going on with my brother elsewhere…”

Silas: “Relax Shaun…we’ll figure it out.”

Cruze: “You better…because Kelcey…you and I have a match that fate needs us to have.”

Cruze then turns and pushes away from Kraven as he and Ivy leave the room. We then cut away.

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk and raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. Carlos quickly comes out and begins to drop rose petals on the ground Kennedy walks on while the monstrous BBU follows behind. The crowd boos as she looks over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them, posing along the way to entice them a bit by blowing kisses and shaking her ass. She arrives at the apron, BBU lifts her up on the apron, Carlos rolls in and continues to throw Rose Petals on the ground Keenie walks on as she steps through the ropes stopping for a second and looks out biting the bottom of her lip and stroking the ropes as she gets into the ring taking her time. She walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the flash photography.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street out here and I’m not really sure why.”

Winters: “There doesn’t need to be a why. She’s out here to entertain and show her beautiful body off to all of her adoring fans.”

Sharper: “Last week, she humiliated Katie Steward, dumping eye shadow on her face and writing old hag on her forehead.”

Winters: “Just a bit of a message…”

Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd. She then walks across the ring as Carlos has gotten her a microphone. She takes it from him and smiles before turning and looking at the crowd. She smiles as the crowd boos her and she looks around. She shakes her head as she then starts to speak.

Kennedy: “Now, now. I know that there are maybe ten, twenty Katie Steward fans. Please stop booing so those with taste can make clear who they love…because everyone loves Keenie!”

The crowd boos as Kennedy looks around a bit confused.

Kennedy: “Well fine. That’s alright. I am still going to do you ingrates a favour. See, last week, I made sure that Katie Steward would never want to show her face around SCW, or the world period, ever again. I made her look like we all know that she is. Tired, worn out and not worthy of standing across the ring from me.”

The crowd boos.

Kennedy: “Now…with Katie Steward so humiliated that she won’t show her face, let’s face it. While my just walking out to the ring in Miami, showing everyone exactly why I’m the Sexy, Flawless Diva will be worth the cost of Rise to Greatness alone…let’s face it. What the world wants? They want to see Keenie compete and they want to see SCW’s Star of Tomorrow compete in the main event for the World Championship!”

The crowd boos some more and Kennedy just talks over them.

Sharper: “Oh come on…”

Kennedy: “And don’t worry. I already know that Kelcey and Cruze have their thing…and Syren and Jake Starr suck. It’s fine…I can happily wait for that match to end and then when it’s all done, I’ll face whomever the winner is and send the crowd home happy as they want Keenie become the World Champion…FINALLY!”

The crowd boos as Kennedy smiles and poses.

Kennedy: “Come on. You know you want to see your sexy, flawless diva wearing the SCW World Championship around her PERFFECT waist.”

Winters: “I’m not opposed to that!”

Sharper: “Just completely overlooking Katie Steward. Just more disrespect!”

Kennedy: “Come on. Let’s all say it! Keenie for champ! Keenie for champ!”

The crowd boos as a very vocal, but small handful of fans do start to chant. Kennedy then looks at Carlos and Carlos starts to chant too. Just then, “Vanity” starts to play. The crowd roars as Kennedy then turns to the entrance way. Katie Steward then walks out from the back. She looks down at the ring before continuing on her way to the ring. Kennedy Street turns to BBU as BBU exits the ring and drops down to the floor. Katie continues on her way to the ring before Kennedy then suddenly holds her hand up.

Kennedy: “Wait…wait…BBU….stand aside. It’s not like she can do anything to me. She has to know I’m her better now. Remember Katie…I’m not just like you…I’m far better!”

Katie stops for a moment before then looking down. She lightly nods before BBU looks at her. Katie watches him before she’s allowed to step past. She walks up the steel steps before entering into the ring. She looks at Kennedy before Kennedy turns to Carlos.

Kennedy: “Carlos honey…please come here and hold the microphone for Katie. I don’t need her jealousy getting too close to me.”

Katie stops again before just continuing to walk towards the middle of the ring. Carlos walks over and Kennedy hands him the microphone. He then turns and Katie grabs the microphone from him.

Katie: “It’s okay Kennedy. I don’t plan to say much.”

The crowd cheers a bit.

Katie: “Kennedy…I just figured that after last week, I could just thank you for what you taught me about you.”

Kennedy smiles.

Katie: “Please accept this token of my appreciation.”

Katie then suddenly nails Kennedy in the face with the microphone. Kennedy yelps and holds her nose. Katie then grabs her by the hair and lifts her up before slamming her down, face first into the mat. Kennedy rolls over, holding her face and rolling to the floor. Kennedy yells in pain and holds her face as BBU starts to enter the ring, but Kennedy yells at him.

Sharper: “Katie! Facebuster into the mat has Kennedy running!”

Winters: “She’s holding her nose. She’s yelling out. I think Katie may have broken her nose!”

Sharper: “I think you might me right!”

BBU jogs around the ring and over to Kennedy as Katie just smiles. Carlos exits the ring and quickly runs around the ring to the rampway. BBU lifts Kennedy up and starts to carry her around as she keeps cradling her nose. Carlos looks around, frantically before panicking and starting to throw rose petals up the ramp. Kennedy snaps at him to stop and tells BBU to run as BBU continues to run Kennedy to the back. Katie Steward just smiles as she looks around and “Vanity” starts to play. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Katie Steward just as quickly as Kennedy Street hit the Touch of Class just showed Kennedy Street that Katie Steward can rebound in a big way!”

Winters: “Simple message but it may be one Kennedy Street will never forget!”

Katie Steward remains in the ring as BBU and Kennedy Street disappear to the back. Carlos does as well and the cheers continue before we cut backstage.

We open up backstage as we see Jessica Winters standing next to Ben McCaron in the backstage area.

Jessica: “I am here with Ben McCaron and you’ve had an interesting Road to Rise to Greatness thus far. But your actions in Mexico had a lot of people confused. You not only flew an American flag while down there, you handed your opponent, Dylan Howell, the match by low blowing him.”

McCaron: “And I’d do it all again.”

Jessica: “But-“

McCaron: “I wanted to come back to Mexico and show them that I am the Master of my own fate. See, too often, people think that they can do whatever they want. I have proven that I CAN do whatever I want. I wanted to make sure people were watching and frankly, with Howell, I was his biggest moment in months. And what did I do…I made sure he’d remember it. I also made sure that maybe we wouldn’t hear him talk about his wife for a bit too. As for the American flag….that was just fun.”

McCaron pauses for a moment.

McCaron: “But I’m also not someone people are going to get to air their grievances with. I am a star. I’ve proven it by beating some of the best. The rightful number one entrant to the Taking Hold of the Flame. I’ve beaten Tommy Valentine. I’m an up and coming star. I expect to be treated as such.”

McCaron turns to Jessica before then walking off. The crowd boos as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we see BBU carrying Kennedy Street, who is still cradling her nose through the backstage area.

Kennedy: “Come on. Get me there fast. We need to put ice…or heat….or icy hot…something. We can’t have my flawless nose be broken. Can’t!”

Carlos keeps throwing roses in the air.

Kennedy: “Carlos! Stop that too. BBU’s feet have enough callouses! Save those for me!”

BBU continues to carry her through the backstage area before going to the trainer’s room. He steps inside, slowly moving sideways through the door to avoid bumping her head.

Kennedy: “Now put me down…and you…you drop everything. Make sure my nose is not damaged, hurt or anything. That flabby granny attacked me viciously!”

The trainer takes a moment too long.

Kennedy: “Now!”

The trainer rolls his eyes as Kennedy is placed on the table in the room and Kennedy lies back in pain, wailing.

The Falconry (Collin Cole & Alexis Quinne) vs. The Howells (Dylan & Jessica Howell)

The lights go out and as Van Halen's powerful anthem "Top of the World" begins, white strobe lights do as well. Soon appearing on stage is Dylan Howell, dressed in a black leather jacket with red shorts and boots, both bearing his initials. Dylan is accompanied by his wife, Jesse Howell. Jesse is wearing a black Affliction shirt with the neck line cut so it hangs off one shoulder, a black skirt with a white studded belt and knee-high black leather boots. The crowd gives a mixed reaction. Jessica just shakes her head as Dylan Howell ignores the crowd.

The two of them walk to the ring side by side. Once they arrived at ring side, Dylan heads up the stairs first and then holds the ropes open for Jesse who gives him a little show as she steps in the ring. Once both are inside, Jesse looks around the arena as does Dylan. The two share a kiss, making a show of it before pulling away. Dylan smirks as Jessica Howell looks around.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell and Jessica Howell certainly are getting their fair share of action after them being away.”

Winters: “See, you rock the boat for a moment and voila. You get the opportunities. Facing off against a contender for the World Tag Team Titles!”

Sharper: “The Falconry one of the teams who will face off against 4Saken in that double elimination fourway at Rise to Greatness.”

"Stains of Time" blares over the P.A. system as the crowd starts to boo. Collin Cole soon walks out with Alexis Quinne and their big man Grundy to some cheers from the crowd. Collin looks at the crowd with a relaxed expression and rubs the back of his neck before he runs a hand through his hair. They begin their walk down to the ring.

Here I stand beneath the warm and soothing rain
The droplets falling gently down on the terrain
Washing away the sorrow of the stains of time
But there's no memory it's only dry inside

Collin looks around at the audience as they cheer him. Alexis and Grundy follow as Alexis makes mocking faces to the audience. When Alexis walks towards the camera, she makes a gun gesture towards the lenses and then laughs. Collin soon walks up the steel steps and turns around on the apron. Collin looks around and mouths something to them before entering the ring. Grundy slides into the ring as Alexis walks up the steel steps and enters the ring as well.

And it will come
Through the darkest day
In my final hour
And it will never rest
Until the clouds are clear
Until it finds my dreams

Collin walks to the middle of the ring to which he is joined by his peers. Alexis stands to Collin's left and Grundy stands behind Collin. Collin stands in the middle in a lackadaisical manner as Alexis unmask herself. From there, Grundy immediately goes after Jason Phillips, the ring announcer, to which Phillips quickly runs to the outside. Alexis laughs as Grundy eventually stops. Grundy then exits the ring as Jessica rolls her eyes at Cole and Quinne.

Sharper: “Cole and Quinne getting a favourable response from the crowd here tonight. This is a big chance for them to get some momentum.”

Winters: “Or be a target. You have to think that the Coalition will be looking to strike at some point tonight.”

The bell sounds and Quinne just smiles as she leans back against the ropes. Jessica Howell looks at Dylan and Dylan exits. Cole does the same. Jessica and Quinne look at each other and Quinne then mockingly tells her to come at her. Jessica nods before then moving in and going for a hard right. Quinne blocks it and nails her with a forearm and then another and another. She pushes Jessica to the ropes before firing her across. Jessica bounces off the ropes and Quinne goes for a clothesline. Jessica ducks and stops. Quinne turns and Jessica kicks her in the ribs and nails her with a hard right before throwing her over into the corner. Quinne turns and Jessica kicks her in the ribs and then again and again before grabbing her and throwing her down to the middle of the ring. Quinne rolls over and to her stomach. She starts to get up and Jessica runs out and kicks her hard in the ribs. The crowd ohs as Quinne rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Vicious kick to the ribs.”

Winters: “That’s what happens when two people hate each other Adam!”

Sharper: “And there is some tension between these two. Over twitter, a few days ago, they got into it with a bit of a war of words there.”

Quinne starts to get up and Jessica pulls her up and then throws her down with a mat slam. She then goes for the pin.

Quinne kicks out. Jessica grabs her and lifts her up and Quinne then pushes her back and nails her with a pump enziguri to the jaw. Jessica falls back to the ropes. Dylan tags himself in. Quinne gets up and turns and tags in Cole. Cole slingshots in and Dylan goes for a clothesline, but Cole ducks and both spin around. Cole chops Dylan in the chest. The crowd woos. He chops him again. More woos. He then kicks him in the ribs and hooks his arm and head and hits a snap suplex. He floats over for a pin.

Dylan kicks out. Cole turns and grabs Dylan Howell and lifts him up and hits a headlock into a palm strike. Dylan falls to a knee. Cole then turns and runs into the ropes. Jessica knees him in the back. Cole winces and turns before turning back and Dylan knocks him down with a dropkick. The crowd then boos as we see Jed Wayne and Red Rayne walking out from the back.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell taking advantage of his wife’s involvement, but the Falconry may have a bigger problem.”

Winters: “Number not in their favour…Red Rayne…Jed Wayne down here.”

Sharper: “Rayne and Wayne on their way to the ring and Jessica and Dylan Howell know the Coalition well too.”

Winters: “Rayne…and Wayne…you think they’re out here because they’re so much alike…”

Sharper: “I think you mean more than just their similar sounding names?”

Wayne and Rayne walk down to the ring. Rayne just seems to be looking past the ring as Alexis Quinne watches them, as does Grundy. Jessica does too. Dylan glances over to them before then stomping Cole in the face as he starts to get up. Dylan stomps him again before Cole rolls over. Cole reaches out for the tag, but Alexis keeps watching Rayne and Wayne who just remain at the end of the rampway. Cole reaches out, but Dylan grabs him and pulls him back before nailing him with a forearm. Quinne turns back as Wayne just smiles a bit. Dylan then fires him into the ropes. Cole bounces off and Dylan elbows him down. He then jumps up and hits an leobw drop and goes for the pin.

Cole kicks out. He turns and Dylan grabs him and turns before throwing him into the Howell corner and tags in Jessica. Dylan then looks at Jessica before the two stomp away on Cole in the ribs, kicking him down to a seated position in the corner.

Sharper: “Dylan and Jessica Howell just stomping away on Cole and they’ve taken full advantage of the Coalition’s showing up out here.”

Winters: “And it’s not even Frost and Foxx. You have to wonder what they’re doing now too.”

Sharper: “And Quinne and Grundy may be thinking that too.”

Dylan exits the ring. Jessica grabs Cole and throws him down and goes for the pin.

Cole kicks out again. Jessica looks up as the crowd roars. We see Brayden Walker and Aaron D’Aubergine, Liberation, walking down to the ring. Jessica looks at them and Dylan nods before she whips Cole into the ropes. Cole bounces off and Jessica jumps up for a leg lariat only for Cole to catch her and just drop her with a back suplex. Jessica winces and Cole rolls over before getting up as Brayden Walker and Aaron D’Aubergine walk up behind Red Rayne and Jed Wayne. Wayne turns around as Rayne looks at the ring. Wayne just smiles as Aaron and Brayden watch both of them. Red Rayne then turns and smiles. She then walks right between the two of them and slowly walks to the back. Jed Wayne just follows her as Brayden and Aaron look a bit confused and turn and watch them walk off. Cole meanwhile tags in Quinne and Quinne enters as Jessica stirs and dives over her back and into an Oklahoma roll.

Jessica kicks out.

Sharper: “Oklahoma roll. A nod to where we are. Not enough to win though.”

Winters: “Rayne and Wayne are almost out of here. I can put away the poncho now.”

Sharper: “Liberation coming down and still remaining at ringside. Almost coming out and I’m shocked we didn’t see an attack of some sort. I don’t know what to make of that.”

Winters: “I’m just shocked that they seemed to back down from Liberation!”

Jessica rolls over and Quinne grabs her and nails her with a forearm and then another and another. She then whips her across the ring and into the corner before running after her and jumping up and hitting a running dropkick to the face. The crowd ohs and Jessica falls to the mat. Quinne turns and slides her away from the ropes before hooking the legs.

Jessica kicks out and Quinne rolls off. She looks up and gets up before grabbing Jessica. She lifts her up by the hair and Jessica reaches up and rakes her eyes. She then turns and tags in Dylan who climbs to the top rope. Quinne turns and Dylan dives off and hits a double axe handle smash. She falls to the mat and Dylan then runs over and goes for Collin as Brayden and Aaron watch, but Cole counters by going for a shoulder thrust. Dylan stumbles back in pain and he turns to Quinne who gets back up and jumps up, grabbing Dylan’s head and spinning around into a variation of the Ditzy Tour.

Sharper: “Almost shades of Selena Frost in a way-“

Winters: “Don’t let her hear that.”

Sharper: “Ditzy Tour, not from the corner, but just from momentum, takes Dylan down as he got greedy.”

Winters: “And right in front of Liberation who have to note that for Rise to Greatness weekend!”

Dylan rolls over and Quinne goes for the pin.

Jessica pulls Quinne off. Quinne rolls over and gets up and Jessica kicks her in the ribs. She then turns and throws her into the Howell corner, driving her face first into the top turnbuckle.

He falls off and Dylan turns as Jessica whips Quinne out and Dylan clotheslines her down. Quinne rolls over. Jessica exits and Dylan then grabs Quinne and Cole slides in and runs over and nails Dylan with a hard right an then another. Jessica starts to enter and the referee tells Cole to get out.

Jessica rolls out of the ring as Cole rolls out of the ring too and just then, Quinne rolls Dylan up with a school boy. She pulls on the tights too.

The crowd roars. Quinne lets go and Dylan looks up shocked. Quinne rolls out of the ring and Cole walks over to her. She taunts Dylan as Jessica slides back in, completely confused about what happened. Liberation meanwhile watches everything unfold from the rampway.

Sharper: “And Quinne steals it! Right in front of Liberation who will face the Howells at the pre-show…”

Winters: “Talk about the worst case scenario for them. Momentum is great for Falconry, but the Howells just lost in front of their opponents. Just more reasons for them to be pissed off!”

Dylan looks around shocked before turning and snapping at the official. Jessica paces in disbelief as Liberation turns and starts to walk to the back. The Falconry continues to celebrate as we then go backstage.

Breakdown returns as we see Jonathan Knots storming through the backstage area.

Knots: “Keenie! Where’s Keenie!”

Sharper: “Oh lord…”

Knots looks around before turning and sticking his head into one room before turning and continuing on his way, before turning his head down one room before backing up.

Knots: “Ah crap…bad move-“

Katie Steward then walks out with TJ Johnson. Knots backs up.

Knots: “Keep your thunder thighs away from me-“

Katie: “Jonathan…I’m not going to do anything to you….yet.”

Knots gulps.

Katie: “I saw what you did last week, hiding that bag of goodies for her. You do that again with me…I may have broken Kennedy’s nose-“

Knots: “Oh no!”

Katie: “I may break something else on you.”

Knots’ eyes widen.

Katie: “Give ‘Keenie’ my regards when you see her.”

Katie and TJ then walk off as Knots backs up and looks around before turning and running off.

Jackson Bowker vs. Ethan Hunt

The lights go out in the arena as The Wolf by Fever Ray's intro begins to play. After the intro finishes and the vocals begin to play Ethan walks down the entrance slowly. Ethan grins as the fans boo him faintly. Ethan enters the ring cockily and climbs to the top rope before staring blankly out at the crowd. Before he jumps off of the top rope he snickers. Ethan stays in his corner and waits for his opponent to come down to the ring.

Sharper: “This is going to be a showcase.”

Winters: “Is it on television this time?”

Sharper: “We hope, for Jackson Bowker’s sake. His debut was marred by an old Mercenaries match playing instead. Hopefully we’ll get to see what he can do.”

Winters: “Hopefully he wins or else his first televised match will be a loss! Ha!”

The beat hits the PA and the words "Bowker Rocks" flash up on the screen. Jackson walks slowly out onto the ramp, claps along with the tune before making his way down the aisle to hi-5 the fans that are clapping along with the music. Jackson doesn't hesitate to lay loud, echoing hi-5 onto the male fans that undoubtedly shoot pain through their arms, occasionally he'll stop to take a selfie or make fun of an opponent with a fan. He enters the ring soon after and poses in the center before he begins to psych himself up for the match.

Sharper: “Jackson Bowker ready to go. He’s got the fans seemingly behind him.”

Winters: “Well probably because they don’t their arms taken off. Hell, just run up to the Mercs and hi-five them. They’ll get the hint.”

The bell sounds and Bowker and Hunt start to circle the ring. They move towards each other and Hunt immediately goes for a double-leg takedown. He then moves into a side mount and nails Bowker with a couple of hammer fists to the jaw. Bowker nails him with a forearm before grabbing him by the arm, but Hunt turns and nails him with a forearm from his free hand. He then grabs Bowker and lifts him up before spinning him into the corner. Hunt then nails him with a hard right before grabbing the head in a cravate. He drags Bowker out before then going to snapmare him over, but Bowker blocks it before just throwing Hunt back and into the ropes. He bounces off and Bowker hits a dropkick, knocking Hunt down.

Sharper: “Big dropkick and this is more an early chess match here more than anything.”

Winters: “Well both are unknowns. Not really much tape to watch…especially for Bowker.”

Sharper: “You’re loving that fact.”

Winters: “I think to blame the Mercs for it is hilarious. Someone in the truck probably just had some fun!”

Hunt starts to get up and Bowker nails him in the ribs with a hard right before he pushes him into the ropes and fires him across. Hunt bounces off the ropes and Bowker goes to catch him, but Hunt tackles him down again and then starts to hammer away with hard right hands. The crowd roars. Hunt is pushed off and both get up and Hunt grabs him and hits a high knee. Bowker falls to the mat and Hunt goes for the pin.

Bowker kicks out. Both get up and Hunt grabs Bowker in a gutwrench. He knees Hunt again before suplexing him over. Hunt then turns and goes to the corner. He pulls himself up to the middle rope and looks over before going for the Breakable elbow, but Bowker rolls out of the way. The crowd ohs a bit. Both get up and Bowker kicks him in the ribs before hitting a snap suplex. Hunt winces and starts to get back up.

Sharper: “And a nice snap suplex. Beautifully done and executed by Bowker.”

Winters: “I haven’t seen him hit one like that before!”

Sharper: “Is Knots feeding you lines?”

Winters: “If he was, Bowker would be crying from hurt feelings and that’s without having watched the tape back. I’m trying to help him out.”

Hunt turns and Bowker then whips him into the corner. He runs after him and hits a running backsplash into the corner. He staggers back as Hunt stumbles out and Bowker grabs him and hits a fisherman’s suplex into a bridge.

Hunt kicks out. He turns and Bowker grabs him and scoop slams him down. He then turns and goes to the corner, exiting to the apron and then climbing to the top rope. Bowker looks around and nods before jumping off and going for a leg drop, but Hunt rolls out of the way. Bowker grimaces in pain as Hunt gets up. Bowker turns.

Winters: “No one home for him there.”

Sharper: “Elbow drop failed for Hunt. Leg drop did for Bowker. These two newcomers trying to get that big win here.”

Winters: “Both going for their first.”

Sharper: “Stop it. Bowker won two weeks ago-“

Winters: “I’m not going to trust you! I want to see it with my own eyes.”

Sharper: “Good lord…”

Bowker turns and Hunt kicks him in the ribs. He places his head between his legs before lifting him up and hitting a powerbomb. He then lifts him back up as the crowd roars and powerbombs him again before walking around the ring. The crowd cheers a bit as Hunt just waves the crowd off before jumping up and hitting a knee drop. He goes for the pin, hooking the leg.

Bowker pushes him off. Hunt rolls over and turns and as Bowker starts to get up, Hunt grabs him from behind and starts to go for a rear naked choke. Bowker struggles with Hunt and blocks it. He then elbows his way out of it. Hunt spins around and Bowker jumps to the middle rope before turning and grabbing Hunt’s head and hitting Since ’89.

Sharper: “Bowker with the agility. Springs off the middle rope and grabs Hunt, hitting a neckbreaker.”

Winters: “That’s a new one. I’ll give him a nod for that.”

Sharper: “But Hunt down. Can he get up after this? Every time he’s gotten down, he’s found some way to come back and big.”

Hunt rolls over and Bowker watches him. He walks around as Hunt slowly stirs and grabs the back of his head and neck. He stumbles up and Bowker jumps up and grabs Hunt and hits Bhatngu. The crowd ohs and Hunt falls back. Bowker goes for the pin.

Bowker’s music plays as he rolls off and has his arm raised. The crowd cheers a bit as Bowker gets up.

Sharper: “Second match and he gets the win.”

Winters: “Guess there is something to him.”

Sharper: “And this time, the world saw what he was capable of. No interruptions this time.”

Bowker celebrates a bit as the camera focuses on him. He just smiles as enjoys it as we cut backstage.

We open back up backstage as we see Donovan Kayl walking through the backstage area. “Rescue Me” plays in the background.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl, he’s on his way to the ring. We’re going to hear from him next!”

Kayl continues on his way as the music fades out.

Kennedy: “What are you doing? Get your hands off that! Oww! That hurts!”

Donovan turns and walks down one smaller hallway and the peers into the trainer’s room. We see the trainer trying to reset Kennedy’s nose.

Kayl: “Heh…almost poetic justice.”

Kennedy: “Shut up! This is not funny! This is a travesty!”

Kayl: “And you deserve it.”

Kayl turns and steps away.

Kennedy: “Owwww! Damn it!”

Kayl shakes his head as he continues down the hallway and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up backstage to see Marisa Condolesa standing by Kelly Marsh-Asher.

Condolesa: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I am here with Kelly Marsh-Asher, the younger sister of SCW star Thirteen. And Kelly, you’ve been backstage the last few weeks, enjoying the hospitality of SCW, but we’ve heard little about how your brother is doing after that buried alive match in Germany two months ago. Could we get an update?”

Kelly smiles.

Kelly: “Firstly, thanks for having me. Secondly, he’s doing better. He’s slowly been recovering from his injuries and also has had some much needed down-time. There’s the hope that he’s only a couple of weeks away.”

Condolesa: “Could we see him at Rise to Greatness?”

Kelly: “Well, that’s poss-“

Just then Kelly stops as Dylan Howell and Jessica Howell come into view.

Dylan: “Now we have people not even under contract getting airtime. And yet, us….typical. No one cares why you’re here. Screw off.”

Dylan and Jessica then turn and walk past Kelly. Kelly just glares at them as Marisa just looks shocked and we cut to ringside.

“Epic” by Faith No More starts to play an the crowd cheers as a few moments pass and Donovan Kayl walks out from the back. He smiles as he looks around the arena before then starting to make his way down the rampway towards the ring.

Sharper: “Last week, CHBK was told that he had to accept the match or else be just sent home with pay.”

Winters: “That’s not so bad. I’d be fine with that!”

Sharper: “But for CHBK, that means he can’t be at the arena. He can’t scratch that itch if he wants to get back into the ring and more importantly, for what he claims is his main goal, leading Mikaela Street to the Women’s Title.”

Donovan Kayl walks to the ring and focuses on the ring before he heads over to the steel steps and walks up them. He enters the ring and looks around as the crowd cheers him. Kayl smiles some more as he walks over to the corner and is handed a microphone. He takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring before stretching out his arm a bit and then waiting for his music to fade out.

Kayl: “We are eleven days away from the biggest night of the year if you’re a wrestling fan. And if you’re a fan of people finally getting what they so richly deserve…July 27^th has further meaning when I get my hands on CHBK in the middle of this ring.”

Kayl pauses for a moment.

Kayl: “That is unless he backs out. The funny thing is that the only advantage he has to doing that…is that he won’t get his ass kicked before I send him on the shelf anyways and he gets to stand here at ringside as he hopes that Mikaela Street is able to face and defeat two of the best women’s wrestlers in the business today.”

The crowd boos a bit.

Kayl: “See, CHBK…after I saw what you drove Mikaela Street to do for you…how badly she had drank the proverbial Kool-aid…I knew that this was getting out of hand. Regan Street, David Helms, they’ve been to the top. They’ve dealt with worse and will continue to deal with it, even if you’re there to try and turn the screws into them time and time again…Mikaela however is still young, still learning and you’re taking advantage of it. I have a problem with watching someone from a family I personally see as one I must defend and watching them nearly in tears over your pathetic corpse!”

Kayl looks at the camera.

Kayl: “See, I could be doing this for Regan…for David…for SCW or even me…but that sight three weeks ago on this programme…that told me that I needed to stop you-“

“This is How a Heart Break” then starts to play. The crowd roars before starting to boo as CHBK walks out from the back. He takes his sunglasses off his face and hooks them in his shirt as he starts to walk down to the ring, notably without Mikaela Street. CHBK continues on his way to the ring as Kayl looks at him. CHBK walks over to the ring and walks around it before grabbing a microphone from the timekeeper’s table. He then hops onto the apron and looks at Kayl.

Sharper: “CHBK coming to the ring and obviously he’s heard enough.”

Winters: “And that’s a man you don’t want angry at you.”

Sharper: “I don’t think Kayl cares.”

CHBK then enters the ring as Kayl watches him and CHBK walks up to him. He then smiles a bit.

CHBK: “You think you’ve got this all figured out. Don’t you Donovan? I mean you’ve managed to get the boss on your side, and he’s probably been trying for years to figure out a way to get out of that contract that I got last time he and I were at each other’s throats. The problem is that I didn’t want to face you because I was scared of you…It’s because frankly, I’m past you.”

The crowd boos.

Kayl: “But you’re not.”

CHBK: “Oh but I am. See, Donovan, I’ve heard your song and dance time and time again. Some of the best in the history of this company have tried it. Damian Angel…Matt Hodges…Jason Wheeler….I am still here. None of them are.”

Kayl: “And I’ve heard that speech before. There’s a difference. I came into this company already with a name and a reputation and one that you found out very damn well at Retribution. The problem…you got up and walked away. This time…I’m going to make sure you end Rise to Greatness still looking up at the lights.”

CHBK smirks.

CHBK: “I’d love to see you try. The problem is Donovan…just like you only cared about Mikaela when you finally realized how much she cared for me, how much she VALUED what I offer you…that ate you up inside. I’m eating you up again…you said you’d move on. You’d try something else….You did…but you used it all up for this one match. If you fail, it’s all for nothing.”

Kayl: “And I remember one year ago when I showed up and knocked you out with my knee. I plan to do it again…and this time…for good.”

The crowd roars as CHBK and Donovan Kayl continue to just stare at each other. A few moments pass before “Cult of Personality” starts to play. The crowd cheers some more as CHBK pulls away. Donovan glances at CHBK as he steps back and Mr. D walks out from the back. He has a microphone in his hand. He looks down at the ring.

Mr. D: “Donovan…CHBK…I apologize for having to be so forward with this. But Donovan, you know why I’m here. CHBK…you know why I’m here too. Are you going to actually show some courage and actually get in the ring with Donovan Kayl…or am I having SCW charter you a first class ticket back to Toronto so you can watch SCW week in, week out, from the comfort of your own home…And before you say anything, I’ve heard your piece. I also know that you pulled the same crap with David Helms a couple of months ago.

The crowd boos. CHBK just smirks.

Mr. D: “And I’m not screwing over these fans for your ego. So CHBK….what is it?”

CHBK then looks at Mr. D.

CHBK: “Well…you know me well. Here’s my answer.”

CHBK then goes for the Bittersweet Ending on Donovan Kayl, hoping to catch him off guard. The crowd however cheers as Kayl catches CHBK’s foot. CHBK looks at Kayl, shocked before Kayl then spins him around and kicks him in the ribs, hooks his head before lifting him up and throwing him forward. CHBK lands on his knees as Kayl bounces off the ropes and hits the Point Blank on CHBK. The crowd roars and cheers. Mr. D just smirks as Donovan Kayl rolls over and looks at CHBK.

Mr. D: “So I should take that for a yes?”

Kayl turns as “Epic” starts to play. He exits the ring as CHBK remains down in the ring.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl plants CHBK with the Point Blank. Shades of War of the Roses. Shades of Rise to Greatness last year.”

Winters: “And CHBK may be down now…but he’ll have to do it in eleven days.”

Sharper: “He just countered the Bittersweet Ending though. CHBK had his best shot countered!”

Kayl exits the ring and continues on his way to the back. Mr. D smiles at the ring before continuing to the back. Kayl continues on his way to the back. CHBK remains down in the ring as we cut away.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage as we see Mr. D walking back to his office. He then stops as the door to his office opens and Rachel Foxx walks out with Ba’al. She just smiles at him and the crowd boos before Rachel Foxx then walks off. Mr. D turns and pushes the door open.

Mr. D: “Oh my God…”

He turns and yells out.

Mr. D: “Get help!”

Mr. D steps inside as we see his assistant, Alicia, covered in blood, and wrapped up in a garbage bag. Mr. D leans down over her. We then see an official running in as Mr. D leans over.

Mr. D: “Alicia….can you hear me?”

Mr. D then looks down before standing up and moving back as another official comes in. Mr. D just turns and looks up before motioning to the camera to go away. Mr. D then turns back to Alicia as the officials keep checking her.

Sharper: “My God…Why though?”

Winters: “I’ve given up trying to figure it out. They said they’d spill some blood.”

Sharper: “But why her? She’s entirely innocent!”

Fury vs. Toshiro Kageyoshi

Toshiro slowly walks out from the waiting area while the opening rift of "This Time's For Real" By Ill Nino is played, looking out to the many screaming fans. Touching his index finger to his head as the song moves, swiftly extending said arm to point to the crowd. Continuing to the ring, he sprints now, and as the chorus begins, Kageyoshi grabs the ropes, flipping himself over the top rope, landing on his feet. The song continues loudly over the speakers while he jumps into the center of the ring. He looks to the many bright spotlights illuminating his body as the instrumental ends, and the end of the song is near. Looking back down, he turns to face where the opponent will soon enter.

Sharper: “Toshiro Kageyoshi has been impressive to say the least in wrestling competition, but he may face his toughest challenge yet.”

Winters: “He’s been dodging bullets to say the least, but tonight, he’s got that Fury kid. And Fury, something about him….he’s got a hell of a future ahead of him.”

The steady build up from the guitar chords of Papa Roachs track "Burn" begins to play through the speakers, as the big screen shows the man about to appear. The reaction is loud, many of them waiting with anticipation to see what Fury is going to bring to the fray tonight.

"I didn't know, you were a fake,
Every lie straight to my face,
So blind, I could not see,
right behind my back you stabbed me"

The lights converge around the curtained off area behind the SCW staging, slowly it is pulled aside as Fury appears for the first time, a hooded jacket covering his body, his head tilted toward the ground so his face is darkened away from the lights and the fans. Silently, he stands atop the ramp and just waits patiently, his body rocking to the sound of his music.

"Should've known you were a bitch,
Shut up, you're making me sick,
Little man, you're nothing like me,
Lying, cheating, so deceiving"

I trusted you, broke me down,
And you screwed me over,
Don't try to deny it,
I'll be ignited...
...When I get to watch you BURN! BURN!"

As the chorus erupts through the arena, Fury throws his hood back showing his gritty, angry face. He says little, but stands alone, his eyes scanning the crowd and all of his surroundings, he cracks his neck one side and then the other before extending his arms out to his side and closing his eyes as he listens to the fans reaction, he then paces slowly down the ramp, turning full circle as he tries to take everything in, he then looks back toward the ring and just glares at it angrily.

"I wanna watch you Burnnnn
You're gonna get what you deserve
I wanna watch you Burn"

The chorus dies down as Fury just steps up onto the apron, he stares into the ring for a moment longer and then slowly climbs in, he turns to the hard camera and just steps onto the middle rope for a moment before once again looking to the skies, his arms extended out to his sides. He jumps back down then and awaits the start of his match as the music dies down.

Sharper: “Fury undefeated so far. Big win in his debut a couple of weeks ago. Last week, we saw him watching Finnegan Piper’s match.”

Winters: “Another newcomer who is undefeated since Taking Hold of the Flame.”

Sharper: “And the night before Rise to Greatness, as part of SCW”s weekend festivities and taped before the Hall of Fame special, Fury and Piper will clash on our special Rise to Greatness Pre-Show.”

The bell sounds and Fury watches Kageyoshi as Kageyoshi gets his hands up. He moves otwards him and Fury watches him. Kageyoshi then lunges with a high knee, but Fury blocks it and nails him in the ribs with a shot. He nails him with a hard right before throwing him down with a headlock takedown. Kageyoshi rolls out of it and starts to get up and Fury grabs him by the arm. He wrenches it and then goes for a short-arm clothesline, but Kageyoshi ducks and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Fury goes to catch him, but Kageyoshi dives over and nails him with a lunging elbow smash. Fury rolls over. Kageyoshi gets up and turns and drives his knee into his face and then again and again. Fury rolls to the ropes and Kageyoshi backs up.

Sharper: “Kageyoshi rising to the challenge here.”

Winters: “He’s not getting taken out of his game by Fury. He’s just going right for him.”

Sharper: “Until now and look out.”

Kageyoshi moves in and Fury nails him with a European uppercut before chopping him in the chest. Kageyoshi hits the mat and starts to get up. Fury grabs him and pulls him up and headbutts him in the back of the head before snapping him over with a suplex. He then geos for the pin.

Sharper: “Fury doing what he does well, just shutting down offense and then controlling this match. And Piper is looking on.”

Winters: “Better be taking notes.”

Fury drags Kageyoshi up and turns before whipping him into the ropes. Kageyoshi bounces off and Fury lifts him up for a flapjack. Kageyoshi falls to the mat. Fury then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a running elbow drop. He goes for the pin.

Fury turns and ducks a chop. Kageyoshi hits a back elbow. He then runs into the ropes and bounces off before hitting a running high knee, knocking Fury down.

Sharper: “Big knee. Kageyoshi starting to get something going here.”

Winters: “Needs to do more though. Just keep it on kid!”

Fury rolls over and Kageyoshi grabs him and hits a Japanese arm drag. Fury gets up and he turns and whips him into the corner. Fury hits the corner and bounces out and Kageyoshi runs into the ropes behind him and grabs his head and forces him down with an awkward looking neckbreaker. He then goes for the pin.

Fury kicks out. He turns and Kageyoshi grabs him. Fury however hits a jawbreaker in retaliation. Fury gets up and Toshiro Kageyoshi goes for a quick clothesline. Fury ducks and wraps around him before throwing him back with a release German suplex. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “And just like that. Big miss and Fury takes advantage with a picture-perfect German suplex.”

Winters: “Toshiro is slowly getting up. Fury may just be waiting at this point.”

Kageyoshi stirs and starts to get up. Kageyoshi turns and Fury hits a straight punch to his ribs. He places his head between his legs. He then hoists him up and powerbombs him down. He lifts him back up and hits a second powerbomb. The crowd ohs. Piper looks on as Fury hoists him up and hits a third powerbomb. He then leans forward for the pin.

The crowd roars a bit before just looking on. Fury pulls himself up and looks at Toshiro Kageyoshi. He just nods. The referee goes to raise his arm, but he pulls away and looks around the arena, looking for Finnegan Piper. He however relents after a few moments and drops down to the floor. The camera then focuses on Piper as he watches Fury as he walks around the ring and slowly heads to the back.

Sharper: “Fury with another impressive victory.”

Knots: “Three powerbombs! Three!”

Sharper: “And Kageyoshi just planted and out. No one could get up from that…and Finnegan Piper saw it all. They face on the Rise to Greatness pre-show in ten days, the night before Rise to Greatness and right before the Hall of Fame ceremony!”

Fury continues on his way to the back as the crowd just buzzes and we cut backstage.

We open up backstage at the SCW interview area to see Jessica Winters.

Jessica: “Please welcome at this time…the SCW United States Champion, Ravyn Taylor.”

The crowd boos as Ravyn Taylor walks in and smiles. Jessica turns to her.

Jessica: “Ravyn. In a few moments, you’re going to be in a big champion versus champion non-title contest. This coming just eleven days before you make your first title defense against Gable Winchester. But even with that, you mentioned how you wanted to play games with Gable and yet, last week, you were oddly absent.”

Ravyn: “Was I? Well good to know I was missed. Perhaps I already played my games. Perhaps I didn’t have to do some big song and dance. I don’t need the spotlight like some people. I don’t need people to see my brilliance for me to get all warm and fuzzy inside. I just need to know that I’ve won. If Gable is looking over his shoulder….well…”

Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “Just like in mere moments, I’m going to go out to that ring and face a brute who most likely the world is hoping that they’ll witness him take his right hand and drive it through my skull. It’s interesting. That’s his only real discernible talent and it works wonders in the Underground Division. Tonight, those rules don’t exist…at least formally. They exist if you’re clever. The problem is that I’m unsure how clever Matt Auclair is and nor do I really care. I just plan to do what I’ve made a habit of doing lately….having some fun and being a bad, bad girl.”

The crowd boos. Ravyn turns and walks off.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor faces off against Matt Auclair, next, here on Breakdown.”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we open up backstage in the office of Mr. D. We see him throwing a bloodied towel down on the ground as he looks up and one of the officials walks into the room.

Official: “We’ve had the ambulance send her to the hospital.”

Mr. D: “Good…”

Official: “So they got to her?”

Mr. D: “They? The Coalition did. They have names. They’re not monsters.”

Official: “Why haven’t they just been fired?”

Mr. D: “That’s a great question. The problem is that I’ve got a roster that wants to take them apart. Frankly too….they equal ratings. Why wouldn’t you want to watch what sick, sadistic crap they’re going to do next….”

Official: “You know what they’ve done elsewhere-“

Mr. D: “That’s there. Here….I can’t do much for the next while. After Rise to Greatness, they’re going to find out they’ve started the wrong world. Mark my words, the Coalition will be done by the end of the year.”

Official: “I hope…”

The official starts to walk off.

Mr. D: “Do you mind doing me a favour…”

Official: “What?”

Mr. D: “Do you mind finding a production crew guy…Alicia was supposed to tell me if we had a cage or something for Starr and Cannon….Obviously…”

Official: “Yeah. No problem.”

Mr. D sighs as the official walks out of the room.

Winters: “Is it bad that I doubt he’ll do it?”

Sharper: “Coalition done in SCW by the end of the year….I’m not sure…”

Ravyn Taylor vs. Matt Auclair

The heavy riffs of Malevolent Creation’s “Rebirth of Terror” blast out through the speakers at a volume that likely has every non-death metal fan covering their ears. White lights are pulsing on stage in tune with the song as Matt Auclair storms out onto the stage. Noticeably, his right arm is in a black arm sleeve from bicep to wrist and his right hand is covered in a black fingerless glove, and being clutched in his bare left hand is the Underground title belt. Ryan Moss walksout behind him. Fans in the front row remain silent while those a safe distance away from him start booing. Auclair just scans over the arena with a death glare before storming his way down to the ring, Moss following Once at ringside he tosses the title into the ring and then slides in, picking up the belt as he heads straight to his corner, where he awaits the bell by impatiently pacing back and forth like a caged animal ready to strike. Auclair puts the Underground Championship down and Moss grabs it, holding onto it as Auclair waits.

Sharper: “Ryan Moss clutching the Underground Champion that is not on the line tonight, but will be at Rise to Greatness when Matt Auclair defends against James Evans.”

Winters: “And Ryan Moss wins out there. He showed James Evans the opportunity he could give him. One chance meeting and here we are!”

Sharper: “Well I suppose you are right, but Moss didn’t get a new client out of things at all.”

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

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

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

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

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

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

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

Sharper: “This is going to be interesting. Ravyn Taylor taunting Gable Winchester and Matt Auclair prior to this match.”

Winters: “And I don’t know how smart that is. Ravyn Taylor turning up the mind games to eleven…”

Sharper: “Matt Auclair is not one you want to mess with, regardless of who you are.”

Ravyn pulls herself up as the bell sounds. Auclair just starts to come out at Ravyn and Ravyn quickly exits the ring and drops down to the floor. She walks along the ringside area as the crowd boos. Auclair glares at her. The referee goes to stop him from exiting too, but Auclair just moves past him and exits the ring. Ravyn quickly then rolls into the ring and Matt turns and slides in and Ravyn kicks him in the side. Auclair falls over and Ravyn stomps him in the face before grabbing the top rope and starting to stomp away on Auclair as Auclair covers up, taking each stomp as the referee calls for the break.

Ravyn steps back and walks around. Auclair grabs at the ropes, slowly starting to pull himself up.

Winters: “And that’s that thinking things through coming up. Auclair came right at Ravyn and Ravyn turned that around.”

Sharper: “Auclair is always aggressive. Ravyn knew that and now, Auclair a bit hurt as he gets back up and Ravyn going right back at him.”

He gets up and Ravyn kicks him in the thigh. Auclair winces and Ravyn rears back and kicks him again. She then grabs Auclair and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Ravyn hits a dropkick to the knee. Auclair falls to his hands and knees and Ravyn turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and hits a dropkick Auclair in the side of the head. He falls over and Ravyn goes for the pin.

Auclair pushes her off. He starts to get up and Ravyn turns back and grabs Auclair before kicking him in the ribs. Auclair winces and Ravyn kicks him again before then shrugging and stepping back. Auclair throws a hard right, but Ravyn catches it and jumps up for the Momento Mori, but Auclair turns and right into a mount before nailing Ravyn with a forearm to the jaw and then another.

Sharper: “Ravyn went for it early. And Auclair slips out and look at him go.”

Winters: “She needs to cover up. She needs to get free! She needs to do something!”

Ravyn covers up as Auclair nails her with another forearm and then another and another. He then grabs her by the hair and steps up, dragging her a bit across the ring before the referee calls for the break. He then stomps her in the face. She rolls over, covering up and grabs at the ropes. Auclair comes over and nails her hard with a hard blow to the ribs. Ravyn grimaces in pain and falls over to the corner. Auclair then moves in and nails her with a hard right to the ribs and then a left before headbutting her. Ravyn goes a bit dazed and Auclair grabs her and hip throws her out of the corner. Ravyn rolls over and starts to get up.

Sharper: “The beast unleashed here as Auclair has not let up one inch!”

Winters: “This could be a quick one here!”

Sharper: “Each shot hitting and Ravyn can’t take many more shots like that no matter what!”

Ravyn grabs at the ropes and Auclair moves over and goes for a hard right. Ravyn ducks. Auclair hits a left before going for another right, but Ravyn ducks that and kicks him in the knee. She then flips him out of the ring through the ropes. She steps forward and Auclair rolls back in and goes for a hard right, but Ravyn counters with a enziguri kick. Auclair falls to a knee. Ravyn then grabs him and hooks him up before Auclair lifts her up and throws her forward with a flapjack. The crowd ohs. Ravyn starts to get up and Auclair runs over and clotheslines her down. Ravyn rolls over and starts to get up. Auclair turns and grabs at her, but Ravyn reaches out and rakes him in the eyes. Auclair steps back and Ravyn hits a dropkick to the jaw. Auclair falls to a seated position and Ravyn rolls over to the floor. She then backs away from the ring, glancing at Moss, who just watches. Auclair starts to get up and the referee counts. (1)

Sharper: “Ravyn gets Auclair down, but I think Ravyn Taylor is taking a moment for herself.”

Winters: “Or she’s just walking off. And I don’t blame her. Bigger fish to fry at Rise to Greatness.”

Sharper: “And given some of the shots Auclair has given her…”

Ravyn Taylor continues to look on before suddenly, Gable Winchester runs out from the back. The crowd roars and Gable then grabs Ravyn and throws her ribs first into the ring apron. The crowd roars an the referee calls for the bell. Gable then grabs her and goes for the WIN-Chester on the floor, but Ravyn blocks it and elbows her way out of the waistlock. She falls forward and Auclair then drops down to his knees and Ravyn looks up only for Auclair to drill her with the Deathblow. The crowd roars and Ravyn just falls to the mats. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Gable got Ravyn the win, but Ravyn just got knocked out!”

Winters: “She got away from Gable, but right into that right hand! Intelligence is great, but not if you’re caught offguard!”

Sharper: “Ravyn is down. Auclair may have lost, but he’s standing tall in the ring and Gable Winchester plays some games with Ravyn!”

Winters: “That’s just weird!”

Ravyn remains down as Matt Auclair looks at Gable and yells at him to come to the ring. Gable Winchester smiles as he looks at Ravyn. He then mockingly bows before he’s joined by Jack. The two then start to make their exit.

Sharper: “What a message. And Ravyn probably won’t realize it until later!”

Winters: “That’s a huge blow for RAvyn!”

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor is knocked out by Matt Auclair. The US Champion is down!”

Winters: “And the night is only half young!”

Sharper: “More Breakdown to come. The Supreme Studio panel is ready to go to recap what we’ve seen. Huge night still to come. A possible cage match. Kelcey Wallace and Tommy Valentine going at it and the Adrenaline Championship on the line. Breakdown will be back after this!”

The scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We return and open up with a shot of the Supreme Studios in Toronto. We see Jim Dawson and Dean Black at the panel desk.

Dawson: “Welcome back to Toronto here as we are in intermission for Breakdown. A very tense night again developing in Oklahoma here for Breakdown. Hello everyone, Jim Dawson with Dean Black. Brent Randall who you saw at the start will not be back with us. He’s told us that he has more important things to do then watch, and I quote, a bad slasher film.”

Black: “Referencing what the Coalition did. This is an odd night because there just a lot of tension in the air. Everyone is so far sending some very brief, but powerful messages…but no one is going for the so-called killshot. Everyone is really playing it safe.”

Dawson: “It’s an interesting situation. We saw Silas Mason’s brazenness early, but since then, he’s been quiet. We know that we’re going to possibly see a rematch between Jake Starr and Chris Cannon. Kelcey Wallace is going to be in action, but after weeks of big moments, the subdued nature of everyone is well…eerie.”

Black: “And it’s what happens heading to Rise to Greatness. Eleven days. You don’t want to do anything that risks your chances at that big night. The realization of the proximity of that event…big in my opinion.”

The camera then focuses only to Jim Dawson.

Dawson: “Well, at this point, we’re going to talk to one of the people with a lot of to lose. She was out earlier to prevent a further Silas Mason and Silas’ World attack. Syren is standing by with Jessica Winters. Jessica?”

We cut to the backstage area to see Syren standing next to Jessica Winters.

Jessica: “Thank you Jim. I am here with Syren and you again showing that truce between you and Jake Starr at work earlier tonight.”

Syren: “Frankly, I’m getting sick of it. Silas Mason has wanted to take us out. Shaun Cruze, same thing. What happened to facing the challenge in front of you. Oh wait, I forgot. They were counting on Kelcey Wallace against Shaun Cruze one on one. Well, that’s not the way things work out. I hope they got that hint. It’s a lesson I’ve learned time and time again. You don’t always get what you want. You have to adapt and survive. And that’s what Jake Starr and I are doing. We know that until that bell rings, we’re going to make sure the other one gets there. We need some numbers to put up with this crap from Cruze and Silas. But as soon as that bell rings, we all want to be champion. And Shaun Cruze is going to have to face three of the best in the business. I hope he’s ready…or he’ll have something else he doesn’t care for.”

Jessica: “Later tonight, Kelcey Wallace will be in action against Tommy Valentine who helped you in that six man tag in recent weeks. Are you going to be watching that match closely?”

Syren: “I always watch any match of my opponent’s closely. I know Kelcey will be looking to send a message of her own tonight. It’ll be nice if we hear it from her instead of Silas…but I’ll take what I can get. Eleven days…now’s the time to show what you stand for.”

Jessica: “Thank you Syren.”

Syren turns and walks off.

Jessica: “Back to you Jim.”

We cut away from the shot to the panel again.

Dawson: “Syren focused as we expected.”

Black: “She’s been there before. That’s the funny thing. This is something she knows. She’s the ONLY one in this match that’s been in a Rise to Greatness main event. Even last year, the biggest main event in history. She lost that match, and the World Title, to Shilo Valiant. That’s great motivation.”

Dawson: “Speaking of motivation, Matt Auclair doesn’t need much to make his presence felt. A swift punch is how he likes to do it. We just saw Matt Auclair knock Ravyn Taylor out. Not to win the match, but to send a statement and Gable Winchester has the big assist there.”

Black: “Weird seeing someone else play the games with Ravyn Taylor, but I have to say…great first move by Gable. Ravyn didn’t do anything, that would get most jumpy. Ravyn loves to get in your head. Gable took the fight right to Ravyn…next week could be interesting.”

Dawson: “Meanwhile, we didn’t see James Evans show up to confront Matt Auclair. But he is in Oklahoma and he’s standing by with Marisa Condolesa. Marisa?”

We cut back to the backstage area to see James Evans standing with Marisa Condolesa.

Condolesa: “Thank you Jim. I am here with James Evans and James, you’re eleven days from challenging Matt Auclair for the Underground Championship. You had an opportunity to confront him again and you’ve been big on taking the fight to him thus far. Why not tonight?”

James: “No need to get involved in something that didn’t involve me. I made it clear. I’m done playing to someone else’s script. Ryan Moss probably wanted me out there. Matt Auclair probably would love for me to be quivering back here after that one punch took out Ravyn Taylor. The fact is…he may have that one punch. I’ve got a lot more. And he’s had to rely heavily on that punch to do it all. I will give him a fight, but at this point, I know Matt Auclair is a caged animal. I know he wants to take my head off. I wouldn’t be surprised if he spends his free time tonight trying to find me and hunt me down. I’ll let him be unleashed when I want him to be unleashed. Rise to Greatness.”

James then pauses.

James: “But that doesn’t stop me from having some fun next week. He delivered his message loud and clear tonight. One punch. Next week, I remind him the joys of the division he represents and the title that I plan on taking from him in eleven days in Miami.”

Marisa: “Thank you for your comments.”

James nods and walks off. Marisa turns back to the camera.

Marisa: “Back to you Jim.”

We cut back to the panel as Jim Dawson turns to Dean Black.

Dawson: “Almost level-headed.”

Black: “I think it’s more that as I said…you’re getting close. You know that storm that’s coming in eleven days. Why risk anything you don’t need to. Just getting into the ring is a risk. But why run out and try and attack and fail? Why risk making a big statement only for it to be turned around. People are making safe statements, a few examples notwithstanding. It’s really fascinating…and it’s all that chess game that’s playing out.”

Dawson: “Well we’ve seen Kayl counter CHBK tonight. Gable attack Ravyn, causing her to get hit with Auclair’s Deathblow. We’ve seen Silas Mason and company attempt another attack on Chris Cannon and Jake Starr.”

Black: “Katie Steward breaking Kennedy Street’s nose…”

Dawson: “Yeah.”

Black: “Can hear the whining from here.”

Dawson: “Speaking of which, an interesting conversation took place as Kennedy continues to be pining for her nose…Ryan Watson came to see her.”

We cut backstage to see “Moments ago” at the bottom of the screen. We see Ryan Watson talking to Kennedy Street.

Kennedy: “She broke it. I can’t believe she broke it.”

Ryan: “It’ll be fine. It’ll heal.”

Kennedy: “My nose will now always be crooked. It’s a travesty.”

Ryan says nothing.

Kennedy: “And I have to wear a mask. I’ll be going out to Rise to Greatness with the sexy, flawless diva covered up.”

Ryan: “Well maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world, love.”

Kennedy: “It’s horrible. I mean, it’s not like you running around naked. People won’t paid for that. But people expect me to be flawless, honey!”

Ryan just shakes his head.

Ryan: “Whatever, Keenie…”

Just then, Alex Young walks into the room.

Ryan: “Get lost.”

Young: “N-“

Kennedy: “Come in honey. I need more support. She broke my nose!”

Young then walks in as Ryan shakes his head and storms out of the room.

We cut back to the Supreme Studio to see the panel and we also notice that on the big screen behind them, pieces of steel cage are being moved to the ring.

Dawson: “Obviously a lot of mixed signals there.”

Black: “Kennedy is self-absorbed at the best of times. Obviously, the impact of this time of year having some casualties and I’m not necessarily talking about Kennedy Street’s nose.”

Dawson: “Meanwhile, you see behind me, on the big screen, the live shot of the arena. Pieces of steel cage, that old steel, unforgiving structure, moved to the ring.”

Black: “Not the cage we saw a few weeks ago when CHBK and Shaun Cruze went at it. This one has no give.”

Dawson: “They must’ve had it in the truck. Looks like Chris Cannon and Jake Starr will open up the second half of Breakdown. When we return, more Breakdown from Oklahoma. Enjoy!”

We cut to a shot of the live arena as crew members move the cage pieces around and the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Thirteen locking in the Last Breath on Christian Savior. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx nailing Wild Bill with the SCW Underground Championship before smiling as the shot freezes and flies at the screen.

“You can't erase this deep inside of me
I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

We see Kennedy Street posing before the shot freezes and flies at the screen. A shot of Kelcey Wallace holding up the SCW World Championship is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star Frog Splash, before switching to a shot of Aiken, Rachel Foxx and Tatum McGraw standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

“I cherish the love and
I cherish the life that's inside of me
And I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

Shots of Lucas Knight and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Collin Cole nailing David Helms with the Cole Killer, and followed by a shot of Shaun Cruze hitting the C5 on Greg Cherry are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of Devon Kayl at someone is shown before flying past the screen.

“Won't you come and rescue me?
Separate myself from me
Maybe I'm too blind to see
Save my life, rescue me.”

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Gable Winchester, Greg Cherry, Thorn & David Helms, Soopaman Luva, Syren, Regan Street, Ben McCaron, Harmony Fisher, William Mason, Matt Auclair, Merrick Wiseman and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.

The scene then returns to the inside of the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena. We see the old style cage being set up at the ring before we sweep down to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

Sharper: “Welcome back here to Oklahoma City. Breakdown coming to you live. Jonathan Knots now joining me at ringside and you see the steel cage being set up.”

Knots: “That steel monstrosity being set up for Jake Starr to get the ass kicking he deserves. But we’ve seen, so much happen so far. The boss’ assistant even attacked!”

Sharper: “A lot of people are wondering what the Coalition is doing tonight there. This match taking place in a cage thanks to Silas’ World getting involved. Mr. D wanted to get this sorted out, but may be a bit more than distracted at this point-“

Just then, the lights go out. A burning Doll House is shown with melting figurines inside it, some hanging in the various rooms of that House. Laughter then can be heard as The chimes of "Blue" by The Birthday Massacre begins to play throughout the arena. The black and white video tron begins to play of a shadowy figure looking into the camera in a grungy feel to the video, a scream is heard as then the face of Rachel Frost with her eyes widen, smiling wile laughing. Suddenly the dark figure known as Rachel Frost wearing an all-black studded leather ensemble including a Trench coat and Stetson walks out and followed by the menacing and crazed looking Jed Wayne. Wayne stands behind Rachel Frost as Rachel Frost looks out at the crowd, producing a microphone.

Sharper: “Rachel Frost coming out…”

Knots: “Great. That’s all we need. And there’s a cage set up.”

Sharper: “Not for them…”

Frost just looks around and smirks a bit before slowly bringing the microphone up to her mouth.

Frost: “So…ya had to go after Aiken…My Aiken….”

Frost chuckles a bit.

Frost: “I hope our boss got the wonderful gift we left him earlier…That was just a reminder of what we can do…And a foreshadowin’. We have more gifts…and this one…our boss may even like. I hope they don’t mind that we decided to also give this match some added security…one action last week…This is how we respond…”

Frost then brings the microphone down before smiling as she turns. Jed Wayne walks to the back with her. She looks up at the big screen.

Sharper: “What does that mean-“

Knots: “What does it mean? It means horrible things!”

Sharper: “We have a situation at the locker room of Silas’ World…”

We cut backstage and we see Silas Mason yelling at some officials as we see Scott Cannon leaning over Harmony Fisher. Brittany Lohan then notices the cameraman. She steps over as we see Harmony Fisher clearly busted open, her face covered in blood, wrapped in a garbage bag. Some blood can be seen on the floor as Lohan then pushes the cameraman back.

Sharper: “My God…Harmony Fisher!”

Knots: “They got to Harmony Fisher? How did they do that?”

Sharper: “Wrapped in a garbage bag too…just like the boss’ assistant Alicia was too…”

Knots: “Is this it?”

Sharper: “Look…we’re going to go to break. We’re going to try and figure out what is going on, but when we return, this cage match…and who knows what else…”

The scene cuts to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown as we see Silas Mason snapping at Kelcey Wallace as Kelcey can be seen trying to come out of the locker room.

Silas: “Ya get back in there. Yer not gettin’ attacked by these jackals!”

Kelcey continues to move forward.

Silas: “Scott…Kraven…do yer jobs.”

Scott pulls Kelcey back and Taylor Chase-Cruze does the same as Kraven stands by Silas. They move her back as Lohan looks at Harmony.

Lohan: “What are we doing with her?”

Silas: “Drag her in. Not trustin’ the SCW quacks. We’ll take care’a’her.”

Lohan: “Shall Angelica and I go hunting?”

Silas: “Not right now. We’ll make sure they get theirs…”

Lohan then lifts Harmony up and carries her in. Officials are trying to come over with EMTs. Silas slams the door behind him as Lohan carries Harmony Fisher in. We cut away.

Knots: “He just shut the door in the EMTs faces!”

Sharper: “Silas Mason obviously unhappy. I’m not sure how wise that was…”

Jake Starr vs. Chris Cannon

Steel Cage Match

The lights in the arena slowly dim, culminating in a sea of darkness. A male voice is heard over the PA system. His diction is firm, and fierce, as if trying to "rally the troops," or give a "pep talk" to someone, and his message is clear...

Rise up and take the power back,
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend!

After he finishes, there is a massive explosion of pyro from the stage. "Uprising" by Muse begins to emanate from the speaker system, and laser beams begin to fire around the arena. As the song reaches the opening verse, two spotlights drop onto the entry way where Jake Starr stands, back to the crowd, head looking down, and his fist pointed straight to the heavens. His arm is tense and shaking. He slowly turns his fist so it's now pointing "backward," and as he lowers it down, bending at the elbow, he spins his body around, and trusts his fist forward, directed straight toward the ring, to a huge roar from the audience.

Along with the thrusting of his arm, he begins walking toward the ring. His path is slow and steady, pausing several times to take in to account the fans holding their hands up as a sign they stand behind the Social Misfit cause. As the second chorus kicks in, Jake reaches the apron of the ring.

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
So come on

As the chorus plays, Jake climbs up into the cage. As the chorus ends, and the "Hey" chants come over the loud speaker, the crowd is illuminated by bright white lights, and with each chant, thrust their fists skyward. Several fans have signs in the shape of the infamous "Misfit Revolution" fist.

Jake nods, and with one final show of leadership to the "followers" of the Social Misfit cause, he thrusts his fists skyward one last time, which ignites one final explosion of pyro from each of the four ring posts.

He then walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs up onto the second turnbuckle of one of the corners, and mouths the words, "You're looking at the best in the fucking world," and then points out to the crowd saying, "Nobody will stop me... Not in MY HOUSE!"

Jake then raises his fist in the air again, pointing at it, and screams, "THIS IS WHO I AM!"

Sharper: “And now Round Two…and frankly, Rachel Frost and the Coalition may have ensured that Silas Mason and Silas’ World doesn’t get involved.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, Rachel Foxx hasn’t been around either. I’m not happy about that. That just makes me worried.”

The big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken. 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 as Chris Cannon walks out from the back. He looks down at the ring. He then starts to head to the ring.

The crowd roars with a mixed reaction, some cheer for the British superstar while others boo him. He gets to the cage and walks around it before opening the door. He walks up the steel steps and enters inside. He then enters the ring and immediately runs over to Jake Starr. Jake watches him and braces for impact as Chris spears him back into the corner. He thrusts his shoulder in again and Starr clubs him on the back as the bell sounds.

Sharper: “Here we go! Right where we left off! Cannon going after Starr! Starr fighting him off in the corner.”

Knots: “And this you win by pinfall or submission. No escape. No nothing. And that cage they have up. There’s no give!”

Chris nails Starr again and Starr grimaces before Chris gets up and grabs Starr and whips him across the ring. Starr hits the corner and Cannon runs after him and Starr gets his boot up. Cannon falls back and to a knee before turning around and Starr clotheslines him down. Cannon gets back up and Starr nails him with a hard right and then another before turning and throwing him into the top turnbuckle, face first. Cannon turns and Starr kicks Cannon in the ribs and then again and again. Cannon winces and Starr grabs him and pulls him out and throws him over with a snap suplex. He goes for the pin.

Cannon kicks out. Both get up and Starr knees Chris in the ribs. He then goes to whip him into the ropes, but Cannon spins through and grabs Starr by the head and throws him face first into the cage. The crowd roars as Starr falls back, rolling over in pain. He starts to get up and Chris grabs him and pushes him back against the cage, starting to choke him against the hard steel.

Sharper: “Starr face first into the steel. Now Cannon just choking him.”

Knots: “That’s what Kelcey hops happens to Starr at Rise to Greatness!”

Sharper: “Starr undefeated at Rise to Greatness. Tonight isn’t about that though…unless Chris does what he wants and that’s injure Starr. Cannon fighting for Kelcey Wallace after Starr attacked her backstage last week!”

Cannon pulls Starr back and slams him against the steel. He pulls him back again and slams him against the cage side again. He then throws him down. Starr rolls over and Cannon walks over and hits an elbow drop. He then goes for the pin.

He then jumps up and wraps his legs around the head of Cannon and hurricanranas him, causing Cannon to fall forward and face first into the cage. He pushes himself up and Starr runs over and jumps up and dropkicks Cannon in the back of the head, forcing him into the cage. The crowd ohs as Cannon falls to the mat.

Sharper: “No good way to land for Cannon. Just sandwiched into the steel.”

Knots: “It’s also a weapon. But this is great. Two people I don’t care about beating each other up. Silas’ World, Shaun Cruze…they’ve got to be smiling.”

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger and Syren too. More damage, the better it is for them.”

Cannon rolls over and Starr grabs him and lifts him up and goes for a back suplex. He hits it and goes for the pin.

The crowd ohs and Starr lands onto the top rope. Cannon quickly thinks and grabs him and pins him against the cage and top rope before hitting a several elbows to the face of Starr. Starr then drops down and slides between the ropes and the cage. Cannon looks at him and watches him as he slowly gets up. Cannon turns and runs across the ring. He bounces off and runs at Starr and hits a running crossbody into Starr’s ribs. Starr grimaces in pain and Cannon rolls over. Starr falls to the apron in pain as the crowd gives a mixed reaction. A “Jake Starr!” chant begins.

Sharper: “Fans trying to get behind Jake Starr. Cannon meanwhile has Starr in a bad way.”

Knots: “That could’ve right there been broken ribs. That move right there may have ended Jake Starr’s title hopes.”

Sharper: “Rise to Greatness, the road there, all of the members of that fatal fourway main event, they’re all hurting, they’re all fighting to get there and have that opportunity.”

Cannon stomps Starr in the face and then again before grabbing him and pulling him out of the ropes. Starr grimaces and Cannon then throws him down face first into the mat. Cannon goes for the pin.

Cannon stirs and Starr then grabs him. He pulls him up and places his head between his legs. He then goes for the flip piledriver, but Cannon counters with a back drop. Cannon falls to his knees. He then starts to get up and Starr grabs at the ropes and starts to get up. Cannon then turns and runs at Starr, but Starr hits a back kick to the jaw. Cannon falls to his back and Starr grabs the top rope and springboards to the top rope before hitting a variation of the Shooting Five Star onto Cannon.

Starr rolls off and Cannon stirs and Starr rolls over, holding his ribs in pain.

Sharper: “Starr somehow wins this…somehow dug deep, fought through the pain…”

Knots: “And aggression from Cannon. Starr’s heads going to just grow from this!”

Sharper: “But what of his ribs. Starr clearly in pain, rolling on the mat now, holding them.”

Knots: “Cannon may not have won, but he left a mark!”

Starr grimaces in pain as the official checks on him. Starr starts to stir as Cannon rolls over in pain too. Starr holds his ribs, trying to catch his breath. The camera focuses on him for a few moments longer before we cut away.

Breakdown opens up backstage and we see Toshiro Kageyoshi sitting down backstage. He sighs as he then leans back.

???: “Seems like your luck isn’t what you thought…”

Kageyoshi looks up as Tristan Bates walks over to him and smiles. He then gets up and brings his hands up to fight.

Bates: “You could do that or you could realize that maybe your luck is turning. One choice by me and everything for you may not be as it was…”

Kageyoshi: “I’ll happily give you a rematch.”

Bate: “Ha! You think that’s all it needs? I only accept one thing and that is for you to bow-down.”

Tristan then smiles as he goes to rear back, but gets his arm caught by someone. Tristan steps back as Havoc Warrior Exodus stands there. The crowd cheers. Tristan backs up.

Bates: “Another foolish decision. Rise to Greatness…I’ll resolve that too.”

Bates chuckles a bit before backing up. Havoc Warrior Exodus watches him go. Toshiro steps over and watches him too before turning to Exodus.

Kageyoshi: “Thanks man…”

Exodus just nods before then walking off. The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage back in the office of Mr. D to see him on the phone. We then see Mas Deseada, the new Mexican superstar signing. Mr. D looks up as Deseada looks around before then rather bluntly hanging up the phone for Mr. D.

Mr. D: “Excuse me?”

Deseada: “Uh…hi….”

Mr. D: “Could you not have waited?”

Deseada: “Probably but…I’m facing Christy Matthews at Rise to Greatness?”

Mr. D rolls his eyes.

Mr. D: “Yes. She’s looking to get back into the ring and asked for you.”

Deseada: “Me? But why?!”

Mr. D: “Oh who knows? Probably just doesn’t agree with you or something.”

Deseada: “That’s a horrible reason. I’m a great guy!”

Mr. D: “I’m sure. And you’re a good wrestler. You can show it off in a couple of weeks.”

Deseada: “But….oh fine….”

Deseada then turns and walks off. Mr. D just shakes his head. He then grabs the phone again and starts to redial as we cut to ringside.

William Mason vs. Merrick Wiseman

‘Justice... Will Be Done’.

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

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

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

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

The crowd sings along the chorus as Merrick slowly raises his head, showing his masked face. He suddenly draws one of his pistols and fires into the air and at the ring apron down the ramp as the crowd goes nuts.

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think

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

Now I walk these streets, this six string in my hand
Still playin' for keeps, cause I might not make it back,
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces (seen an awful lot of faces)

Wiseman pulls back the hammer and suddenly crouches down and pulls up the ring apron, pointing his gun inside.

And I’ve rocked them all!

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

I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive

Merrick leans on the ropes staring at what awaits him in the ring.

I still drive, dead or alive

Sharper: “Merrick Wiseman would love to be going at Silas Mason and Silas’ World, but he’s got a few other issues to deal with.”

Knots: “Yeah, because his stupid hope for justice is getting him to be in everyone’s sights. The Mercenaries even had some fun at his expense last week.”

Sharper: “And now, after what William Mason did to Matty Stone…he’s got David Helms at Rise to Greatness, but tonight, has to face justice in the former of Merrick Wiseman.”

"The Night" by Disturbed echos from the louder speaker.

William 'Blake' Mason; accompanied by Cameron Chase, are welcomed by the most unfriendly of greetings from the capacity crowd. He stands there for a moment; soaking in the "adulation" from his "adoring" public. Suddenly, golden pyro reigns down from above them. Mason and Cameron confidently make their way down to the ring.

As they make their way down, we suddenly see the imposter Wiseman running down from the back and nails Mason in the back of the head. Cameron staggers forward and turns as the imposter Wiseman stomps away at Mason from behind. The crowd roars before starting to boo a bit. The real Merrick Wiseman exits the ring and heads over.

Knots: “Hey! Look! There’s two of em again! The real one has to be on the rampway!”

Sharper: “Stop it! You know that’s that damn imposter! Interfering in this whole situation!

Cameron goes to stop him, thinking it’s an ambush, but Wiseman blocks the hard right and bearhugs her and turns and drags her away before placing her by the ring. The fake Wiseman keeps stomping away on Mason as Mason covers up. The real Wiseman then turns and runs over and grabs the fake Wiseman and nails him with a hard right and then another and another. The crowd roars. He then watches him turns around and Cameron Chase runs over and clotheslines real Wiseman down. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “That imposter gets Wiseman attacked! Cameron Chase from behind!”

Knots: “The power couple of SCW! Cameron Chase standing up for her man!”

William Mason starts to get up and Cameron Chase stomps Merrick Wiseman and then stomps him again before Mason gets up and stomps him in the face before lifting the real Wiseman up and running him to the ring and rolling him into the ring. He slides in and snaps at the official. The crowd boos as Mason stomps Merrick Wiseman in the face as the bell sounds. Mason stomps him again and again as Wiseman winces with each blow.

Sharper: “Now this match starts and Wiseman at the disadvantage.”

Knots: “Hey! He should’ve just stood back and watched, but he was the idiot that had to get involved!”

Mason then grabs Wiseman and lifts him up into the corner. He nails him with a hard right and then a kick to the ribs before whipping him across the ring. Mason runs after Wiseman and clotheslines him in the corner. Wiseman winces and walks along the ropes. Mason turns and runs across the ring again and bounces off and Wiseman suddenly runs at him and nails him with a lunging shoulder tackle. The crowd roars. Mason rolls over and gets up and Wiseman kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a hard right and then another before whipping him into the ropes. Mason bounces off and Wiseman elbows him down. He then turns and grabs Mason. Mason however reaches up and rakes his eyes. Wiseman stumbles back to the ropes. Mason gets up and just then, the fake Wiseman rolls into the ring again. Cameron yells at Mason and Mason turns and Wiseman runs at Mason and goes for a Superman Punch, but Mason drops down and rolls out of the ring as the fake Wiseman nails the real Wiseman in the face with a Superman Punch. Wiseman drops to the mat.

Sharper: “What the hell?! Again! The fake Wiseman attacking!”

Knots: “I guess he really wanted to take out Mason. Wanted to just beat him down!”

Sharper: “Merrick Wiseman nailed by that imposter. Mason bailing!”

Knots: “I think he’s said to hell with this and I don’t blame him!”

The fake Wiseman turns and watches Mason as he walks around the ring. The bell sounds as Mason rejoins Chase, waves off the ring and the two storm to the back. The fake Wiseman continues to watch Mason and Chase as they walk off to the back. The real Wiseman starts to get up and glares before turning and looking at the fake Wiseman. The fake Wiseman turns around and stops before looking at Merrick Wiseman. He then looks around before backing off a bit before then throwing a hard right at the real Wiseman. Wiseman blocks it and kicks him in the ribs. He then shoves him back and jumps up, nailing him with the Superman punch. The fake Wiseman staggers back and Wiseman nails him with a lunging clothesline. He then kips up before running at the fake Wiseman and nails him with a clothesline over the top rope. The crowd roars. Merrick Wiseman then walks around the ring before watching the fake Wiseman get up and runs at the ropes, bounces off and hits a diving spear through the ropes, knocking the fake Wiseman down. The crowd roars as Merrick Wiseman gets up.

Sharper: “Star-Spangled Banner! That imposter down!”

Knots: “Oh my God!”

Wiseman walks around the ring as the crowd cheers. Wiseman then walks over towards Jason Phillips and demands a microphone. Phillips hands him one. He takes it and turns back and looks at the imposter. The crowd roars as Wiseman looks around.

Wiseman: “Randall….Phoenix…take your paid off lackey…that pathetic imposter and tell him to find a new way to make a quick buck. Silas…I hope you and your clients all thank the Mercenaries…but at Rise to Greatness, Brent Randall…I’m going to make your Hall of Fame celebration damn short.”

Wiseman then throws the microphone down. “Wanted Dead or Alive” starts to play and Merrick Wiseman walks around the ring slowly. The imposter Wiseman starts to stir and slowly pulls himself up. Merrick Wiseman looks at him and just stares him down as he moves back to the steel steps and leans against them. Merrick Wiseman then turns and starts to slowly make his way up the rampway to the back. The imposter Wiseman just smiles.

Sharper: “This match marred by that paid imposter….but the message Merrick Wiseman just sent to the Mercenaries, they better be ready.”

Knots: “Brent Randall challenged by Merrick Wiseman. They’re supposed to be celebrating their Hall of Fame induction.”

Sharper: “Looks like Merrick Wiseman will be looking to celebrate justice!”

The real Merrick Wiseman continues to walk to the back.

We open up backstage to see Jessica Winters standing by with Gigi Steward. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Jessica: “I am here with Gigi Steward and Gigi, in eleven days you’re finally going to get your chance to challenge yet again for the Women’s Championship.”

Gigi: “Seems like finally someone realized that I deserve one more shot. That’s all I’ve wanted. But I’ve had to deal with Autumn Valentine running off and focusing on other things, like Katie. She didn’t want to face me again. Only she can say why. But it’s not one on one. Instead, I’ve got to worry about Mikaela Street too. Someone else who had their shot to become champion and Autumn took it away.”

Gigi pauses for a moment.

Gigi: “But unlike Mikaela, I earned this shot by doing enough to get back into contention. I don’t have the connections. I’m not looking to become the unforgotten anything. I’m looking to be champion. Mikaela, she may want to be led by CHBK to the title, but we’ll see if CHBK can even stand at ringside after what Kayl does to him, or if he bails because he doesn’t want to deal with him. This match for me is just as important as it is for both of them. Autumn wants the attention. So does Mikaela. I want the title though…and at Rise to Greatness….I’m going to do what I can to get it!”

Gigi looks right into the camera. Jessica Winters’ voice comes back in.

Jessica: “Thank you Gigi. Good luck in eleven days…”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

William Mason and Cameron Chase can be seen walking backstage heading back to their locker room. The crowd boos seeing them. Cameron Chase takes a few steps ahead before suddenly, Mason is tackled hard into the wall. We see David Helms as he nails Mason with a hard right and then another and another and another. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Helms! Going after Mason!”

Knots: “Is Cameron okay?”

Sharper: “Is Cameron okay…please!”

Helms nails Mason with several more shots as Chase comes over and tries to pull Helms off. We then see officials running over and pulling Helms off. Mason looks up in a bit of shock. Helms looks at him as officials stand between Mason and Chase and Helms. Helms just glares at Mason as the crowd cheers. We then cut to ringside.

Ransom vs. “Wolfsbane” Adam Brock

The opening chords to "Zero" flood the arena

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen now introducing from Queens, New York and weighing 245 pounds, THIS IS RANSOM!

Ransom appears at the top of the stage with his feet shoulder width apart and arms outstretched at his sides. Once the lyrics begin Ransom walks to the ring, disgusted by the negativity of the fans. After arriving at ringside Ransom slides under the ropes and then glares at the referee. Then he silently goes and sits down in his corner waiting for the fight to start.

Sharper: “Ransom looking to make an impact here. He was part of that untelevised Jackson Bowker match. Unfortunately, for him, he was on the losing end.”

Knots: “Yeah, but right now, it’s televised. It’s live. And he’s got some fresh meat.”

“Watching sand fall...
And listening for the knock
Upon my door (Listen)
And waiting...
For Promised Land”

FWOOSH!!! A series of red, gold and silver fireworks go off at the top of the ramp in a shimmering cascade. A roaming spotlight seeks to penetrate the darkness and find something... Or, perhaps, SOMEONE. A momentary silence, then...

POW!

Four blue fireworks go off and engulf the stage in their light. And as they die away, the darkness falls once more. But it’s not complete... The roaming spotlight catches glimpses of movement, but it’s too indistinct.

“Standing deep in life
My ring of brass
Lay rusting on the floor
Is this all?
Cause it’s not
What I expected!”

BAM!

White-hot green fireworks go off now and this time the spotlight DOES catch someone. Standing there amid the ghastly green glow is the one and only “Wolfsbane” Adam Brock! The fans cheer faintly. He grins wickedly and makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans and pausing to hug a little boy. One overenthusiastic fan grabs him around the neck in a big hug and he makes a big deal out of it, letting one leg go forward in a comical display of being snared. Then he turns around and gives her a huge hug in return before she lets him go. Some of the fans are laughing now... The twinkle in his eye tells them he did that on purpose! He grins and jogs up the ring steps before grabbing the top rope and catapulting over it to stand in the middle of the ring. Once his feet make contact, the cleverly disguised pyro containers secured to the ringposts go off and send showers of purple confetti fireworks all over the crowd. It showers down over him as he turns a slow circle in the ring, basking in the cheers of the fans. When the last of the confetti touches down, Adam does one final turn to face the ramp, hands resting on his legs above his knees.

Knots: “This guy’s getting a lot of fanfare. A lot of pyro. Good thing that the Mercs didn’t come out tonight. He better be worth it!”

Sharper: “Big opportunity for Wolfsbane Adam Brock. A great talent that has a cult following. He can now make it here to the big dance and let’s see what he can do.”

Knots: “Didn’t work out for Lil Knoxville, last guy who did this. Let’s see what happens with him.”

The bell sounds and Ransom looks at Brock. Brock and him watch each other and Brock smiles walking around the ring. Ransom just glares at him. Brock then starts to move towards him. Ransom watches him and Brock then throws hard right, and Ransom takes it. He nails him again and again before pushing him back and going to whip him across, but Ransom spins through and sends Brock in. Brock bounces off and Ransom suddenly comes alive, nailing him with a clothesline. Brock gets back up and Ransom shoves him back into the corner Ransom started in. He then knees him in the ribs before rearing back and kneeing him again before rearing back and kneeing him again. He then throws Brock down and Brock rolls over.

Knots: “Well Ransom just welcomed Brock to SCW in a big way.”

Sharper: “Not pretty offense, but it’s damn sure effective. He’s just pounding him down.”

Brock starts to get up and Ransom nails him with a hard right. He staggers back to the ropes. Ransom follows him and nails him again. He then fires him across. Brock bounces off the ropes and Ransom goes to lift him up. Brock spins through. The crowd roars. Ransom turns and Brock nails him with a forearm shot. He hits another and hits a front dropkick. Ransom falls to the ropes. Brock gets up and Ransom runs at him and Brock takes him down with a fujiwara arm bar. Ransom however gets his knees. Brock keeps bridging up, but Ransom then turns and rolls him through and into a bridging pin.

Brock kicks out. Both get up and Ransom goes for a hard right, but Brock ducks and jumps up and hits a neckbreaker.

Sharper: “Jumping neckbreaker. Brock turning the pace of this match up a notch.”

Knots: “Well got him down. Go for the pin kid.”

Sharper: “Not doing that. Going to the top!”

Brock turns and exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. Ransom rolls over and gets up and Brock dives off and hits a crossbody. He goes for the pin.

He then turns and Ransom clubs him in the back and then again and again. He then pushes Brock back before whipping him towards the corner. Ransom runs after him, but Brock gets his boot up.

Sharper: “Boot to the face. Ransom caught again.”

Knots: “Both just trying to get anything going. Back and forth here. Both looking to get that first SCW win.”

Brock then runs forward and grabs Ransom and turns and throws him into the corner. Brock then runs at Ransom and hits a handspring elbow. Ransom staggers forward and Brock grabs him and hits an Angle Slam, taking him down. He goes for the pin as the crowd cheers.

Ransom gets his knees up. The crowd ohs. Brock rolls over in pain. Ransom then gets up and Brock turns to him only for Ransom to drill him with the Putting My Spin on It. The crowd ohs and Brock falls to the mat.

Sharper: “Spinning elbow. Right to the head. Brock down.”

Knots: “That’s it. Just cover him. This guy’s debut is gonna be just like Knoxville’s!”

Brock rolls over and stirs. Ransom watches him. Brock pulls himself up and Ransom nails him with a hard right and then another. He pushes him to the ropes and fires him across. Brock spins through and sends Ransom in. Ransom bounces off and Brock dropkicks him down. Brock gets up and watches Ransom as he stirs. He then grabs him and goes for a full nelson. He then lifts him up for the full nelson slam, but Ransom spins out of it. He then kicks Brock in the ribs and spikes him with the Downfall of Society. The crowd ohs and Ransom goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and boos as Ransom rolls off. Brock rolls over, holding his head in pain.

Sharper: “And Ransom ends this just like that. That DDT, it came from nowhere.”

Knots: “I guess he just showed you don’t mess with him. That untelevised match against Bowker was a fluke!”

Sharper: “And Adam Brock’s start to his career in SCW not starting as he’d like.”

Ransom slowly gets up. He looks at Brock as he pulls his arm away from the official. He then backs up and exits to the floor. He then wince a bit, showing the impact of the match, as he starts to walk off.

We open up backstage as we see Selena Frost getting ready for her match backstage. We see Dawn Lohan sitting with her.

Dawn: “You ready?”

Selena: “Better be.”

Dawn: “What about Coalition?”

Selena just sighs.

Selena: “Rise to Greatness can’t come soon enough. I’m sick of their games.”

Dawn: “We all are. Two simple attacks and everyone is looking over their shoulder.”

Selena: “I’m going to need you to be my eyes out there during the match.”

Dawn: “Yeah….and who knows? The Watsons may come down too.”

Selena: “I hope not. I’ve love to show the world just what we can do with this title on the line.”

Dawn: “Me too…me too.”

The scene then fades out.

We open up to the backstage interview area to see Marisa Condolesa standing next to Stacy Kissinger. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Kissinger as she just shakes her head.

Condolesa: “I am here with Stacy Kissinger and in a few moments, you’re going to return to the ring after what has been a tumultuous last couple of months.”

Kissinger: “And I’m gonna send a statement ta two people that shouldn’t have been passed over for me. Chris Cannon and Angelica Jones. Silas wants to cast me aside; apparently that’s what makes one a bit more valuable. The funny thing is that I’m just goin after Angelica to make a point…Silas Mason made a powerful enemy. And tonight, I’m gonna show off what happens when I’m pissed off!”

Kissinger turns and walks off.

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger returns to SCW action…next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see A$AP Scrappy in the office of Mr. D.

Scrappy: “Ya know what I want.”

Mr. D: “And I can’t give you that. She’s not an active wrestler.”

Scrappy: “The hell with that. Then make it unsanctioned. I just want my hands on Mary.”

Mr. D: “And I can’t do it.”

Scrappy: “Damn it. I just want to destroy that bitch. Do I need to start attackin’ people left and right to get it!”

Mr. D: “You know that’s not going to help your case.”

Mr. D looks down and sighs.

Mr. D: “Focus on improving your career. At the Rise to Greatness pre-show, I’m putting together a match of Adrenaline stars. People who needed a break. You deserve a break.”

Scrappy: “I want Mary!”

Mr. D: “I can’t do that. I can give you a chance to move on though.”

Scrappy: “And that’ll happen when I cave that bitch’s skull in.”

Scrappy turns and storms off. Mr. D just watches him leave the room before we cut to the ring.

Alec Jacobs vs. Stacy Kissinger

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

But it's not a few seconds before the beginning of "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry is heard, a chorus of boos from the crowd accompanying it. A small bit of fog rolls out onto the stage and the familiar figure of Stacy Kissinger steps out and through the fog. The stage lights come on so everyone can see her holding a microphone, wearing a gold glittery robe around her. Stacy however just teases the crowd, not singing at all, but instead just standing there so they're forced to look at her and get no entertainment.

Instead it's only Katy Perry's voice that's heard:

I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
‘Cause I am capable of anything
Of anything and everything

It's at this point that Stacy removes herself from the foggy stage and descends down the ramp as she looks around the arena a little bit.

Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
Don’t make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy

Stacy completes her walk to the ring and slides in. She then stands up and goes to the center of the ring and slowly spins herself around so she can view the entire arena.

So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse

Stacy allows the glittery gold robe to drop to her feet, revealing that she has on a short frilly black skirt and a rather revealing red halter top. She teases the male fans with a bit of a sexy post One line of pyro goes off while her entrance music is coming to an end.

Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
There’s no going back

The music stops and Stacy nods before going to a corner of the ring, setting her special personalized microphone down in the corner. She then warms up for the match that she's about to take part in.

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger is back in SCW. Resigned a week and a half ago and now heading to Rise to Greatness, about to face off against Chris Cannon and Angelica Jones.”

Knots: “She’s gone after Angelica Jones the last couple of weeks. I hope she rips her hair out and just shows her who’s boss!”

"Demons" by Imagine Dragons begins to play throughout the arena as Alec Jacobs slowly walks out into the stage. He looks out at the crowd for a moment before he throws his right fist into the air for a moment, then brings it down and puts it behind his back as he leans forward a bit and throws his left fist up now. He holds this pose for a moment before he starts slowly making his way down to the ring. About halfway down the ramp, he suddenly breaks into a sprint for the rest of the way before sliding into the ring where he rises to a stand. He takes one last look at the crowd around him before he raises his right fist high one more time before slamming it into the mat as he drops to one knee, the usual signal for his Superman Punch.

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Stacy Kissinger gets a bit of a tune up before her match in eleven days against Alec Jacobs. Jacobs is still looking for his first win.”

Knots: “What does that mean? He’s desperate. He’ll do anything to get the win.”

The bell sounds and Kissinger and Jacobs watch each other. Jacobs stretches out a bit before moving towards Kissinger. Kissinger backs up and steps through the ropes. The crowd boos. Jacobs steps back as the referee tells Kissinger to get back in. She slowly does and Jacobs starts to turn back and Kissinger then suddenly dropkicks Jacobs in the knee. He falls to a knee and starts to get up and Kissinger gets up and grabs him in a front face lock. She knees him in the ribs and then again before Jacobs pushes her to the ropes. The referee calls for the break.

Kissinger then watches him as Jacobs does too before lunging at her and pushing her back to the corner. The referee calls for another break.

Sharper: “Jacobs just sending Stacy to the floor.”

Knots: “Trying to just stop her for a moment. She’s been super aggressive. I actually like it for once.”

Sharper: “And Jacobs has been doing his best to keep her from getting much momentum too.”

Stacy slowly gets up on the floor. Alec Jacobs gets up and the referee tells him to get back. Alec Jacobs tries to get past, but the official keeps forcing him back. The crowd boos as Stacy gets up and just then, we see Angelica Jones running up to her and nailing her with a Stubborn Bitch. The crowd ohs and Angelica then rolls over and quickly gets up and runs off, quickly running along the side of the rampway as Kissinger is down. Alec Jacobs pushes his way around the official before heading over to the ropes. He notices Jones running off but the official doesn’t. (1) Jacobs looks at the official as he continues to count Kissinger out. (2) Jacobs looks around as the crowd buzzes. (3) He then turns and exits the ring before going over to Kissinger who is down.

The crowd roars and a mixed reaction comes from the crowd.

Knots: “There you go! Jacobs just did something great!”

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. Kissinger would’ve been likely counted out, but he brought her in and took advantage of the attack…”

Knots: “That’s a man that made a smart choice. You play the cards you were dealt and Jones handed him a win!”

Kissinger rolls over in pain as Jacobs gets up and looks around. He looks at Kissinger before then pulling his arm away from the official. He exits to the floor and shakes his head as he starts to make his exit.

We open up backstage to see Shilo Valiant walking down the hallway. The crowd roars with cheers as Shilo continues on his way.

Sharper: “There you see him…Shilo Valiant. He’s here and he’s on his way to the ring!”

Knots: “Oh great…”

Sharper: “Entertainment will be coming! Shilo Valiant, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We see Angelica Jones shoving down an official as she storms over to the Silas’ World locker room.

Official: “Let us in so we can treat Harmony!”

The door then opens as Silas extends his arm and Kraven then moves forward as Angelica gets in.

Silas: “What the hell ya doin? You’re riskin’ everything for that useless good-for-nothin’”

Silas slams the door behind Angelica. One of the officials pulls his arm away at the last moment as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Well as Silas gets more and more paranoid it seems, next week, we’ll have a treat for all of you.”

Knots: “Oh man…we’re actually mentioning this?’

Sharper: “You may have noticed that the Dependables have not been on the shows recently. Well, that’s because their contract ran out, but they’ve returned to Hollywood.”

Knots: “Kill me now…”

Sharper: “Well next week, their new movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Death….we will be premiering their first trailer.”

Knots: “Is it at least red band?”

Sharper; “I doubt it.”

Knots: “Those sell-outs!”

Sharper: “That trailer will be here on Breakdown, live, next week.”

NECRO!

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman screams the word "NECRO!"! The masses shout as "Sin with A Grin" by Shinedown is heard. A growing fog forms near the entryway of the ramp as a spotlight shines down on the ramp

Take a good look at agony
Force fed pass down
Time release
I'm inspired to find the liar
Black list X on the back
Of a soulfull man
I've got way's you understand
Look left, look right, but I'm
Behind you

As the song advises the masses to look left and right, from the fog rises Shilo Valiant, his mask the ever-smile of the jester.

I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head

At those words, Valiant slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, locking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. Amidst the shower of sparks the chorus plays:

Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?

Valiant slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his mask glowing amidst the red of the rain and white of the spotlights

These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin

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

SIN WITH A GRIN!

With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal. He then smiles before he pulls out of his pocket, a microphone he presumably had placed in there on his way down the tunnel.

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant is here and he’s in the middle of the ring! The spotlight definitely on him.”

Knots: “Is that Shilo though? Last week, he played more games.”

Sharper: “He’s been playing games the entire time since returning. He faces Regan Street, one on one, in eleven days in Miami at Rise to Greatness!”

Shilo Valiant smiles as he looks around.

Shilo: “Always love hearing that roar from the crowd.”

The crowd cheers as Shilo looks around.

Shilo: “I hope all can tell that this is the real me. I mean, this would be odd if I was the fake me and the real me wasn’t the real me. I’m a bit confused. Then again, so may Regan Street. I mean, I offered her an opportunity, a challenge, a match that hasn’t been seen, even though it should’ve been. And since then, I’ll admit, I’ve been testing her.”

The crowd buzzes a bit.

Shilo: “Now, now…don’t worry. It’s not because I’m a bad person. It’s not because I want to see her fail or I want to get her injured. It’s more because…well…It’s Entertaining!”

The crowd cheers as Shilo smirks and looks around.

Shilo: “Is it not? I mean, she doesn’t know what I’ll do next, just like when I get in this ring in eleven days and face her one on one. My first match since last year…and I need to make sure she’s ready. I mean she did want to beat me for my title a year ago. Have to make sure that her claws haven’t been ripped out by whatever crap she was in the last year!”

Just then, the sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. Shilo smirks as he turns and Regan Street walks out from the back. She continues to just head down to the ring as Shilo continues to smile, awaiting her arrival. Regan Street walks down to the ring and hops onto the apron. She then enters the ring and looks right at Shilo, locking eyes as she walks past. She then goes to the ropes and extends her arm, being handed a microphone. She turns back as Shilo then greets her.

Shilo: “Ah Regan. How nice to see you?”

Regan: “And good to see that I’m not dealing with one of your pathetic ass dopplebitches to knock around.”

The crowd roars as Shilo smiles.

Shilo: “I take it you didn’t appreciate my brand of entertainment.”

Regan: “I accepted your challenge for two reasons Shilo. You wanted me to prove that I should be champion and I’m always ready for that. But the second…you and I did have unfinished business. But now I’m starting to see that you just love to play games. You want to mess around and I just dealt with one man who liked to do that and Donovan Kayl is taking care of him.”

Shilo: “And that’s why I had to make sure you got past him too. Couldn’t have two people messing with you. That’s just not fair!”

Regan: “You didn’t need to mess with me because all it does is make me want to kick your ass right now!”

The crowd cheers. Shilo just smiles as he looks right at Regan.

Shilo: “You could do that Regan…but then you miss out on the feeling when we clash for the first time in front of the world at Rise to Greatness. You miss out on the opportunity to beat me with no one doubting a damn thing. I wanted you at your best…your most driven…I don’t want excuses when you lose…and I don’t want regrets if you win…”

Regan: “You won’t have any regrets, outside of pissing me off.”

Shilo: “All I’ve done Regan is made things a bit more interesting, a bit more entertaining and reminded you of one thing.”

Regan: “What’s that?”

Shilo: “I really can do anything if I put my mind to it!”

Shilo smiles as he then extends his arms after putting his microphone in his belt again. Shilo then snaps his fingers as the lights go out, leaving only the spotlight on the ring. He snaps them again. A spotlight shines down in the middle of the crowd and we see another Shilo Valiant. He snaps his fingers again and another spotlight, this time in the upper deck, and another Shilo. He snaps his fingers again and we get a third spotlight in the crowd, on the floor, and another Shilo. Shilo then smiles as he snaps his fingers one more time and we see a spotlight shine down on the stage as we see at ten Shilo Valiants, the mask, trenchcoat, but varying heights, weights and also genders. Shilo then smiles as he looks at Regan before grabbing his microphone again.

Shilo: “Necro!”

Shilo smiles as “Sin with a Grin” plays throughout the arena. Regan Street just focuses on Shilo Valiant in the ring.

Knots: “There’s an army of Shilos…I’m going to have nightmares.”

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant playing more games. But the Necrophiliacs and Junkies are here and ready for entertainment. Shilo plans to give them that at Rise to Greatness. Regan Street…she plans to give the world a champion.”

Shilo and Regan continue to look on at one another in the ring. We then cut away.

“Rescue Me” plays in the background and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Dylan Cent and then a shot of Selena Frost. We then see the Adrenaline Championship logo.

Sharper: “When we return, the Adrenaline Championship will be on the line. Selena Frost defends against Dylan Cent. Big match here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We see a shot of the SCW Rise to Greatness 2014 logo up on the screen as pyro shooting across a beach is shown behind it.

“Rise to Greatness 2014

Eleven Days Away!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few more moments before fading out.

We open up backstage to see Tommy Valentine getting ready for his match backstage. The crowd cheers. We then see Simon Lyman walking up to him.

Lyman: “How’s it going?”

Tommy: “Just getting ready. Big match tonight.”

Lyman: “And with the Coalition running around…”

Tommy: “Silas probably is going to be even jumpier.”

Lyman: “Well I’ll be out there if needed to keep it level.”

Tommy: “Great…thanks.”

Tommy continues to put his ring tape on.

Lyman: “Noticed you’re not booked for Rise to Greatness?”

Tommy: “The way it goes. Just a shame as frankly, makes it hard for me to get where I want. Tonight helps though…”

Lyman: “Well, then how about we go at it? Show the world what two old pros can do.”

Tommy: “You serious?”

Lyman: “It would be nice to have another match where’s its just about what’s in the ring. See who’s better than night. Nothing more.”

Tommy: “Well you got a deal then.”

Lyman: “Excellent….”

Tommy smiles a bit.

Lyman: “Now I just have to make sure you get there.”

Tommy: “Yeah…really…”

The scene then cuts back to ringside.

Dylan Cent vs. Selena Frost

SCW Adrenaline Championship

“Ladies and Gentleman” by Saliva hits over the P.A System causing the crowd to buzz, all eyes focus onto the entrance as Dylan Cent walks out with a confidence about him. Crystal Ward walks out with him. Cent looks out towards the crowd and smirks a little with a nod before looking down at the ring and heading to it. He enters inside as Crystal Ward walks around the ring and over Cent’s corner as the music fades out.

Sharper: “Big match for Dylan Cent and a big reward attached. Cent has an opportunity to become the SCW Adrenaline Champion.”

Knots: “And more importantly, Thomas Watson, we know he’ll be watching. If Cent wins, there’s a good chance he’ll get his rematch for the title at Rise to Greatness against Cent.”

Sharper: “Thomas Watson was the former Adrenaline Champion. He lost to Selena Frost at Taking Hold of the Flame. Selena Frost is making her first Adrenaline Championship defense here tonight.”

"YOU BETTER BELIEVE!"

"The Ice Queen Instrumental" by Within Temptation brings forth a falling of snow along the ramp, while purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes stream across the arena. From the falling of white, from the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost. She holds the SCW World Tag Team and Adrenaline Championships with her. Dawn Lohan walks out with her as well. With a twirl within her "winter-wonderland", Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her silver-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that. Sliding into the ring, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to the center of the ring to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, Frost looks up at the lights before they return to normal. Dawn Lohan walks around the ring. Selena hands her her Tag Title before turning and handing the Adrenaline Championship to the official.

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan, Selena Frost, the team of 4Saken also our World Tag Team Champions. They’ve got to be thinking about what the Coalition has done tonight.”

Knots: “They were talking about a bloodbath all week long. They gave one. But if Selena Frost wants to stay champ, she’s got to focus on Cent. This is the guy that somehow beat Ryan Watson last week!”

Sharper: “Dylan Cent’s win against Ryan Watson, the cousin of Thomas Watson, was what got him this title match. As we said, huge stakes. “

The referee raises the title over his head and then turns and hands it off to Jason Phillips, the ring announcer. The SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. The referee backs up and calls for the bell. The crowd roars and Selena Frost comes out of the corner, as does Dylan Cent. The two circle the ring before lunging at one another and Dylan drops down to a knee and spins around Selena. He then lifts her up and takes her over with a Greco-roman takedown. He spins around and grabs the head of Selena and locks in a front face lock. He pulls up as Selena struggles a bit and gets her back up her feet. Cent nails her in the ribs with a hard right and then another. He spins her around into the ropes.

Knots: “Thomas Watson probably wanted Cent to win! And I’m more surprised by Coalition.”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but regardless, it was great to see these two get to show what they can do. Dylan Cent showed how badly he wanted it, but Selena Frost had just a bit more.”

We then cut backstage. We then see the outside of the locker room of Silas’ World to see Kelcey Wallace now in the hallway. The crowd roars. We then see a couple of SCW officials holding the door open, allowing EMTs to head in to check on Harmony Fisher.

Sharper: “Kelcey’s outside of the locker room…EMTs finally allowed in.”

Knots: “And here comes Silas.”

Silas: “What the hell ya doin’? Get back in here!”

Kelcey: “I’m going to the ring. I think it’s time I stopped hiding. You’re not stopping me Silas.”

Taylor: “Kels, wait-“

Kelcey: “No. I’m going. I’m going to talk to the world. Not you Silas. I’m sick of this.”

Kelcey then turns and storms off. Silas just grits his teeth and Taylor then steps past Silas and starts to head after her. Silas then turns and storms off too.

Sharper: “Kelcey’s coming to the ring. She’s going to face Tommy Valentine when we return!”

Knots: “Looks like she’s going to talk first!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“Exodus” by Ernest Gold starts to play as the crowd roars. A few moments pass before Kelcey Wallace walks out from the back with her wrestling gear on. She doesn’t stop to pose or anything. She just makes her way to the ring, focusing on that as the crowd roars.

Knots: “What is she doing?”

Sharper: “She’s coming out here alone. She’s coming out to make a statement. And she’s about to face off against Tommy Valentine.”

Knots: “But still…Silas is just looking out for her!”

Kelcey Wallace reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then enters the ring before going over to the far corner and demanding a microphone. She’s handed one by Jason Phillips before she turns to the middle of the ring.

Kelcey: “Cut that music…”

The crowd cheers a bit as he music plays.

Kelcey: “I am out here because I am done having to sit in the back and wait. Wait to make the statement I want to give.”

Taylor Chase-Cruze then runs out from the back. A few strides behind her is Silas Mason. They start to head to the ring. Kelcey turns and stops them.

Kelcey: “Both of you….Silas…you stay right there…And Tay…You know I need to do this.”

Silas starts to walk forward, looking to ignore Kelcey. Taylor just shakes her head. Kelcey turns to the crowd.

Kelcey: “I am not going to sit and hide in the back. Silas Mason wants to protect me. To keep me ready and safe while Syren or Jake Starr or even Shaun Cruze may try to hurt me. With Coalition threatening me many times in the past. He’s even helped Shaun Cruze in trying to injure and take out Syren and Jake Starr with all of the other great talent he’s put around him and me. He even kicked my own husband out because he saw him as a threat to me. Did you not see the match he had with Jake Starr earlier? THAT’s how a man shows their value of me….My husband. But both got up and walked away.”

Knots: “Did she just call out Silas?!”

The crowd cheers as Silas glares at Kelcey. Taylor keeps standing between Silas and the ring.

Kelcey: “Well, you may have noticed that I’ve not been one to run out and attack someone. Even last week, I didn’t deserve that chair to my back but I understood why it was done. See, while I may want my one on one match with Shaun Cruze, I’m happy to take a rain check to stand in front of the world at Rise to Greatness and Rise to Perfection no matter who stands in front of me. Just like I intend to do in a few moments against Tommy Valentine, a former World Champion and someone who may very well be looking to challenge me for my World Title when I get it back…”

The crowd gives a bit of a mixed reaction to that statement. Kelcey however continues to focus on the crowd.

Kelcey: “See…unlike some people, I don’t care that Syren is part of the main event at Rise to Greatness. I don’t care if Jake Starr is there too. I don’t care that it’s no longer a one on one match. Unlike Shaun Cruze, I’m not worried about being robbed of that third and deciding encounter. I’m focused on one thing in eleven days in Miami, Florida. It is to Rise to Perfection and become the World Champion. I will face and beat all three that stand in my way. That is my goal. That is what I will do if I have anything to say about it. I’m not out here to attack. I’m not out here to end someone else’s career. I’m not out here to make anyone regret decisions by physically assaulting them. I plan to do it by doing what I always have done…and that is be perfect.”

Kelcey then looks at the camera as the mixed reaction continues to come from the crowd.

Kelcey: “Syren, Starr, Cruze….feel free to watch. I look forward to facing you all in eleven days.”

Kelcey then brings the microphone down. “Exodus” starts to play again and Taylor then moves out of Silas’ way. He walks over to the ring and points at her.

Silas: “I’m doin that all for ya!”

Kelcey: “I don’t care. I’ll beat them all in the ring.”

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace with a clear statement.”

Knots: “And now Silas and Kelcey in each other’s faces.”

Sharper: “She just wants to compete. She’s not worried about the added people in the match. She wants to rise to the occasion. And she’s looking forward to it.”

Knots: “Well Silas should’ve made sure she just wrestled. Silas and Cruze clearly have the better plan!”

Sharper: “When we return, Tommy Valentine will come to the ring. Our main event…Tommy Valentine against Kelcey Wallace is next!”

Kelcey backs away from Silas and Silas walks around the ring as Taylor Chase-Cruze comes to ringside. Kelcey starts to walk around the ring, waiting for Tommy Valentine as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Tommy Valentine vs. Kelcey Wallace

We see Kelcey Wallace standing in the ring waiting as Silas Mason glares at her from ringside. Taylor Chase-Cruze watches her with a smile.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace here and she just gave a hell of a statement. We’ve heard so little from her, but tonight, she made her position plain and Rise to Greatness, just around the corner. Only eleven days away!”

Knots: “She better be ready. Silas Mason has put so much into her…”

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

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

“ALL OF YOU, GO ABOUT YOUR DAY, NEVER TRULY LIVING! WALKING SO CLOSE TO DEATH, LETS ME KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE! IT'S WHERE I FIND MY HIGH. TERROR THIS WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN. LOOK IN MY EYES, SEE WHAT I'VE DONE! ALWAYS ON THE MOVE, HELL COMES ALONG!”

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas.

"STAND UP, FISTS OUT - I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!"

A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

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

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

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

"BABY I'M BAD, I'M THE FEAR IN YOUR EYES. THAT HATE IN YOUR HEART HAS BEEN BRANDED WITH MY NAME!"

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

Sharper: “Big opportunity here for Tommy Valentine to make a statement. He’s been talking about getting back into World Title contention. If he pins Kelcey Wallace, ending that one on one undefeated streak, you have to think, post Rise to Greatness, he’s a favourite.”

Knots: “That’s if he gets past Simon Lyman. Lyman and Valentine agreeing to face each other. I hope one takes a chair to one or the other! That would be awesome!”

Kelcey looks at Valentine as the bell sounds. Tommy and Kelcey circle the ring. Silas smiles as Taylor looks on and Kelcey and Tommy lunge and engage in a mutual grapple from one another. They push back on one another as Tommy turns into a side headlock. Kelcey pulls back and gets him to the ropes. She fires him forward and Tommy bounces off the ropes. Kelcey steps forward and Tommy shoulders her down. Kelcey rolls over and Tommy runs into the ropes. He bounces off. He hops over Kelcey. Kelcey gets up and Tommy bounces off the other side.

Knots: “And this is just starting.”

Tommy stops and Kelcey turns and Tommy hits a European uppercut. Kelcey winces and Tommy hits another. He pushes her to the ropes and whips her across.

Tommy rolls over and Kelcey grabs him. She drags him up and then knees Tommy in the ribs. She hits another Russian leg sweep and Tommy hits the mat. Kelcey turns and gets up.

Knots: “Was there any doubt? Tommy’s damn good, but Kelcey’s perfect!”

Taylor raises Kelcey’s arm as Silas stands on the outside applauding Kelcey. Kelcey stands in the ring stoically. We then see Syren walk out from the back and stand on the stage. She looks down at the ring and applauds too. Kelcey turns and watches her. Taylor turns too, ready for a fight. A few moments pass before Jake Starr walks out, no shirt, taped ribs as he looks over at Syren. The two then stand to the ring. Silas Mason enters the ring and quickly yells at them to get to the back.

Sharper: “Syren and Jake Starr coming out.”

Knots: “You see the busted ribs though for Starr…don’t tell me they’re going to attack her!”

Sharper: “They’re just applauding Kelcey Wallace. It’s an odd show of support. She spoke without Silas…she spoke for herself….and then had a hell of a match…”

Knots: “What is going on?”

Shaun Cruze then can be seen standing off to the side of the stage, just watching the stage. Syren and Starr don’t realize he’s there and Cruze just watches up at them.

Sharper: “Look! It’s Cruze!”

Knots: “Is he planning an ambush?”

Sharper: “I don’t know…but Syren and Starr aren’t moving…neither is Cruze.”

Kelcey Wallace just watches them as Cruze keeps watching Syren and Starr. Silas Mason yells at Syren and Starr to leave as the crowd continues to cheer and the scene slowly fades to black…
