Breakdown - July 4, 2018

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Giovanni Aries hitting Selena Frost and Ravyn Taylor with the Down the Rabbit Hole and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on an opponent before showing Syren nailing Josh Hudson with a steel chair.

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

We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber. We cut to a shot of Konrad Raab doing some shadowboxing in the ring before showing Ikiro Yoshida, Derek Adonis and Manvel in the ring with the KABLAMA Sutra. We follow up with a shot of Gable Winchester walking away from Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson.

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

A shot of Christy Matthews posing in the crowd follows. Amy Chastaine locking in the Torniquet on an opponent is shown before showing Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity. We then see Ace Marshall nailing someone with the One Eyed Royal.

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

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne running and attacking Regan Street in the ring.

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

We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking down at herself, while posing in the corner before showing Har Megiddo in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and Kennedy Street hitting Syren with the Touch of Class is shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping an opponent with the CATastrophe before showing Bree Lancaster nailing Marie Jones with the Classifier, followed by a shot of Blake Mason hitting the Blake Mason Experience on Thirteen before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene then cuts to show the inside of AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida as we see the lights turned out as spotlights circle the arena. We then cut to a shot of fans walking through the concourse in the building and then shots of some fans purchasing merchandise at one of the many stands.

Spirit: “Controversy seems to be the story of Supreme Championship Wrestling. What is going to happen with the US Championship? What is going to happen with CHBK and Ravyn Taylor? How is Kennedy Street going to respond to Giovanni Aries and that’s just the start!”

A few moments pass before we cut to a shot of the inside of the SCW Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to see the camera pan down and we see Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk.

Spirit: “Hello again anyone. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters. Happy fourth of July to everyone in the United States. A belated Happy Canada Day to our fans in Canada. But I’m not sure how much happiness to expect tonight.”

Winters: “We’re not sure what’s going to be decided. That’s just the start. Mr. D has kept a lot of close to the chest. All we know is that Ravyn Taylor and CHBK, they’re not here. Regan Street is. Kennedy Street is. Giovanni Aries are.”

Spirit: “That’s not all. We have a unique main event and after weeks of Sienna Swann calling for Syren one on one, she’ll be teaming up with her tonight. Syren and Sienna Swann will face Donovan Kayl and Thirteen.”

Winters: “That’s going to be fun. Sienna is talking about erasing the past. She has to team with someone with a big problem with her, and not just that, one of the most decorated people in SCW history! Against two of the most respected veterans in the locker room!”

Spirit: “And perhaps in an effort to prove she has nothing to do with the Lizard King…yes, that’s a real problem for our World Champion. Tonight, she faces off against Ace Marshall, her former beau.”

Winters: “Been waiting two years for this and this should be fun.”

Spirit: “Of course, much more to happen tonight. Selena Frost will face off against AJ Helms. Given what Regan Street did to Jason Helms, her brother in law last week, Selena could be next in the crosshairs.”

Winters: “All I’m thinking is that if you’re Mr. D, you’re making sure you leave tonight with people understanding the consequences of their actions. If not, this is just going to continue. This powderkeg is just going to keep becoming more and more unstable. We’re two and a half weeks before Rise to Greatness. It can’t get much more unstable before there are big problems!”

Spirit: “That’s one way to look at it. We expect to hear some big announcements tonight. TV Title will also be on the line. The Truelove Twins will face the World Tag Team Champions, Sophie James and David Callahan in non-title action. Bree Lancaster will face Alistaire Allocco. And much more. Anything to add, Shawn?”

Shawn looks around and shrugs. He then reaches under the desk and pulls out a bucket of popcorn.

Shawn: “I’m ready!”

Spirit: “Well last week we had so much going on that we forewent our intermission. We hope to unpack some of what happens later. Breakdown, now in Miami, let’s go to the ring!”

The camera pans to the big screen behind Spirit and Shawn, before we cut to a live shot of the inside of the American Airlines Arena in Miami. The camera pans across the crowd. In the ring, we see a stand with the SCW US Championship inside of it.

Sharper: “Welcome live to Miami! To South Beach as we are here, two and a half weeks before Rise to Greatness XV! Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots at ringside and are you ready for whatever may happen tonight.”

Knots: “I want popcorn. Where’s my popcorn?!”

Sharper: “We’ll see what we can do.”

Knots: “Good! I’ll need it for when Kennie kicks Ace Marshall’s ass later. Maybe that will help Giovanni Aries get the hint!”

Sharper: “We’ll also see how Kennedy’s arm is doing after Aries attacked it last week on this program. But it looks like we’re going to see the US Championship situation dealt with.”

We cut to the ring to get a closer look at the US Championship before we cut to see Mr. D walking down to the ring.

Knots: “Not wasting time. Regan Street didn’t waste time last week either!”

Sharper: “She assaulted Jason Helms, attacking him with a crutch. Sending a clear shot at his relationship with Amy Chastaine. But since it was a unification match, it’s been hard to get a sense of who is the champion?! Is it Regan? Is it Jason?”

Knots: “The boss is going to have another hard decision. And it’s only one of many tonight!”

Mr. D walks to the ring as the crowd cheers him a bit. He walks up the steel steps and walks into the ring before stepping inside. He then looks around before looking at the US Title and then walking over and being handed a microphone. He takes it and turns to the middle of the ring.

Mr. D: “Thank you for joining us tonight. Last week, we saw our fair share of controversy and I’m going to make sure by the end of tonight, that controversy will be no longer. I’ve spent the last week in discussion with the Board of Directors to ensure that they support my decisions tonight and it seems quite simple that I can say, I have carte blanche to do what I want.”

The crowd roars. Mr. D goes to continue before we hear the sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen and then “Who’s Next” by Porcelain Black plays. Mr. D turns as we see Regan Street walks out from the back smiling with Mikaela Street at her side. They then start tto walk to the ring.

Sharper: “Looks like Regan Street isn’t looking to waste time here either.”

Knots: “She has a smile. So that can’t be good for the boss!”

Sharper: “More that Mikaela is with her and seemed to support her efforts last week. Didn’t even stop her!”

Regan and Mikaela reach the ring and Regan pulls herself up onto the apron. She enters. Mikaela walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. Regan steps forward and goes over to the title. Mikaela walks over and demands a microphone. Phillips hands her one as Mr. D turns to Regan. Regan just looks at the title and smirks as Mikaela hands the title to her. Regan turns to Mr. D.

Regan: “I wonder how this is going to go.”

Mr. D: “Well if you waited, you would know.”

Regan: “The problem is that there’s nothing to wait about. The fact is that Jason Helms was only holding it keep it warm until I was back after dumping you on your head. Plus, let’s face it, you don’t want to screw over your bestest friend, the one who cares so much about you, the one who even got a spot in the Taking Hold of the Flame after her months of claiming she was going to cash in. The one who you personally called. You want her to walk out Rise to Greatness as a Supreme Champion and to raise her hand doing it. So can we cut the crap!”

Mr. D nods.

Mr. D: “Nice conspiracy you have there. Seems like everyone’s nice and wound and everyone’s made sure their self-importance is at its highest.”

Regan: “Given that we know that I’m the champion everyone wants to beat. Not hard to just tell it like it is.”

Mr. D: “Well Regan-“

Just then the lights in the arena cut and the darkness remains for a moment before the intro of “Hated” by Beartooth starts to play over the pa system, the lyrics appearing on the big screen in time with the music.

“WHO KNEW YOU’D BE HATED FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE…
AND BE A BIG TARGET FOR ALL THE FOR ALL THE INSECURE…”

The crash of drums and the wail of guitars kick the song in properly and as the volume doubles a spotlight appears on the stage to show a smirking Jason Helms standing there with Aniya Helms. Jason looks down and starts to head to the ring as Aniya walks alongside him. Regan turns to the entrance way.

Sharper: “Jason Helms coming out and obviously disagreeing with what Regan said.”

Jason pulls himself onto the apron and Aniya runs up the steps. They enter the ring as Jason steps forward. His music fades out.

Regan: “Good to see you can still walk straight. Guess there wasn’t much to hit there after all.”

Jason just nods and smiles.

Mr. D: “Jason, thank you for joining me.”

Regan turns to Mr. D.

Mr. D: “Now Regan, at least I get to see your reaction in person. Because you can spin your yarn and bat it around, but the fact is that I’m going to make the decisions that I feel are right and justified. And Regan, last week, when you elected to just tarnish that unification match by taking that crutch to strike Jason Helms and send a message to Amy…”

Regan: “I’d do it again. Maybe it knocked some sense into him.”

Jason shrugs. Jason snaps at Regan as Aniya smirks.

Mr. D: “Well that’s all well and good. And I can get into the nitty-gritty, but let’s face facts. Both of you were holding an equal claim to that title in the unification match. A draw would benefit both equally. But a disqualification, in this context, well someone had to win, someone had to lose. And you lost, Regan. In this unification match, you pretty much forfeited by attacking Jason right at the start.”

The crowd roars as Regan smirks and looks back.

Mr. D: “And so, allow me to introduce you to the UNDISPUTED SCW United States Champion…Jason Helms!”

The crowd roars. Mr. D turns and grabs the SCW United States Championship. He then holds it up and Jason Helms smirks as he steps forward. Mr. D then places the title around his waist. Helms just smirks and turns to Regan. Regan then looks at him before lunging towards him to go low. Helms jukes back and Regan then grabs the stand and throws it toward Jason. Jason catches it in his arm as Mr. D turns to Regan and Regan grabs Mr. D and pulls him in to place his head between his legs. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “No! Don’t do it again! Not another one.”

Regan laughs as Mikaela just watches Aniya and Jason, ignoring Regan. Regan laughs holding Mr. D for a moment before then backing up and pushing him back. He rolls over as he turns, holding his neck and looking at her. Regan turns and backs up as we see Jason getting up and looking at Regan.

Knots: “Taunting the boss!”

Sharper: “Threatening another piledriver. That’s the man who will be the special referee at Rise to Greatness. Regan Street just further off the rails as she’ll just do what she wants!”

Regan drops down to the floor as Mikaela exits too. We then see Selena Frost running down from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers as Mikaela turns and Regan moves Mikaela out of the way as she runs forward and Selena runs at her and the crowd erupts with Regan nailing Selena with a forearm. Selena fires back with another shot back.

Sharper: “Selena out here!”

Knots: “Probably saw what Regan was going to do to D!”

The two trade forearm shots and Selena pushes Regan into the ring apron before spinning off. Regan and Selena get a couple more shots in on each other before Selena gets the advantage, mounting Regan. She nails her with a shot and then another before Mikaela boots her in the face. Selena falls back and rolls over, holding her face. Regan gets up and goes to go after her as Jason rolls to the floor. Regan and Mikaela back up as we see officials running down to the ring. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Selena knocked off by Mikaela. Again, showing she’s willing to get directly involved and has stopped trying to protect Regan!”

Knots: “Jason stepping in. Officials too. Let them fight. Come on!”

Sharper: “Selena will face AJ Helms later tonight. And that match just got a whole lot more interesting!”

Mr. D is helped up by Aniya as he walks forward. Regan and Mikaela back up as the crowd boos. Selena gets up as Jason and Selena watch Regan and Mikaela. The scene then slowly fades out.

COMMERCIALS

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Selena Frost & Jason Helms vs. Regan Street & Bree Lancaster come up on the screen followed by the words “NEXT WEEK!” underneath.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. After what we just saw, with Regan again threatening to assault the boss, Selena and Regan fighting and another cheap shot to Jason Helms, next week, we’re going to get a bit of a previous of two of Rise to Greatness’ biggest matches.”

Knots: “Jason Helms and Selena Frost face Bree MASON and Regan Street! If its anything like what we just saw, oh boy.”

Sharper: “And AJ Helms will face Selena Frost tonight. So who knows if Regan and Selena could go at it again later tonight too!”

We then cut backstage to see Regan Street and Mikaela Street walking backstage. The crowd boos seeing them as we then see Bree Mason running over to them, an envelope in her hand.

Bree: “Regan. Mikaela. Just saw what happened. I should’ve been out there.”

Mikaela: “Not necessary, but thanks.”

Regan: “Nah. You didn’t need to get your hands dirty. But looks like you get a US Title shot.”

Bree: “Trust me. He won’t be holding it undisputed for long. It’s mine after Rise to Greatness. Don’t need him celebrating with Amy with or something.”

Bree shudders.

Regan: “You and me both. We’ll have to talk later. But now…I need to find my son. I think he needs to make sure he’s ready to make his name tonight.”

Regan and Mikaela then walk off as Bree smiles and we cut to the ring.

Cassius James vs. Konrad Raab

Television Championship Eliminator

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain. He looks around the arena as the crowd cheers him.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit and is your Television Championship Eliminator. First, on his way to the ring, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

He heads to the ring and then high fives the fans on his way to the ring. He goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle. The crowd cheers as he looks around and gets the crowd going.

Sharper: “Konrad Raab returned last week and was successful before Kordelia showed up and went for his throat.”

Knots: “Yeah. He was almost entranced by her coming down after he won. Talk about a way to kill off your joy from returning and winning!”

“This Is America” by Childish Gambino begins to play throughout the arena as Cassius James steps out behind the curtain with a black sleeveless hoodie on with solid black trunks and boots. He has a black glove on his left hand.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cassius James!”

Cassius James stops at the top of the ramp looks at the crowd to an echo of boos before making his way down to ramp ring completely focused on the ring. He slides into the ring as he stands in the center of the ring before raising his left arm and making a fist with his hand as he points to himself before dropping his arm and moving to his corner of the ring.

Sharper: “Cassius James looking to rebound from a loss against Owen Cruze. Both Konrad and him both would love to challenge for the TV Title next week.”

Knots: “Cassius would love to do it to make sure he’s got the opportunity and the time. He’s been pretty clear about demanding opportunities and wanting to get them!”

The bell sounds as Cassius looks at Konrad. The two circle the ring and lock up in the middle. Cassius quickly turns into an arm wrench. He pulls up on the arm as Konrad winces. Cassius clubs him in the back and then again before turning and pushing him into the ropes. He then whips him across. Konrad bounces off and Cassius hits a hip toss. Konrad rolls over and gets up and moves to the ropes. Cassius kicks him in the ribs. He then pulls him out and scoops him up and slams him down. Konrad gets back up and Cassius nails him in the ribs with a shot, pushing him into the corner.

Sharper: “Cassius in control early. Experience not the factor yet.”

Knots: “Drive may be. Cassius is hungry for this. Plus, we don’t know if Konrad is still a bit sore after last week.”

Sharper: “Kordy going for his throat. You could be seeing some breathing issues. He has been cleared to compete though.”

Cassius drives his shoulder into the ribs and then rears back and shoulders him again. He then backs up and whips Konrad across the ring and into the opposite corner. Cassius runs after, but Konrad gets a boot up. He then runs out and clotheslines Cassius down. Cassius gets back up and Konrad hits a dropkick. The crowd cheers. Cassius gets up again and Konrad hits another dropkick. The crowd roars as Cassius rolls over and to the floor. He starts to get up. (!) Konrad looks at him and runs across the ring. He bounces off and then runs at the ropes and dives through with a tope onto Cassius, driving him back first into the announce table. The crowd roars as Raab rolls to his side. (1)

Sharper: “Raab! Showing the fruits of his agility training and diving through the ropes!”

Knots: “Right into my lap! I asked for popcorn! Not wrestlers flying at me!”

Raab starts to get up. (2) He grabs Cassius and drags him to his feet and turns and rolls him into the ring. (3) Raab climbs up onto the apron and then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars as Cassius starts to get up and Raab dives off and hits a knee drop to the back of Cassius and rolls through. The crowd ohs. Raab turns back and hooks the leg.

Cassius kicks out. He slowly stirs as Raab grabs him and pulls him up. He then kicks him in the ribs before spinning him around. He goes for a German suplex, but Cassius blocks it and elbows Raab in the jaw and then again. He then spins around with a standing switch and hits a German suplex of his own on Raab into a bridge.

Raab rolls his shoulder up in time.

Sharper: “Cassius with the German on the German, but Raab getting that shoulder up.”

Knots: “This turned up after Raab took the air.”

Raab stirs and Cassius rolls over and gets up and grabs Raab and pulls him up. He then runs him into the corner face first. Raab turns and Cassius nails him in the ribs again before going to whip him across, but Raab spins through and knees Cassius in the ribs. Raab turns and handsprings into the ropes and jumps back and hits the Ice Storm! The crowd roars. Raab turns and hooks the leg.

The crowd cheers.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and next challenger to the SCW Television Championship, Konrad Raab!”

Sharper: “Raab in his second week, fighting through any lasting effects from Kordelia Amida’s attack on him last week and earning a shot at the Television Title!”

Knots: “Got that out of the blue. Even Cassius James didn’t see it coming. More decisive even!”

Sharper: “And against some bigger people. Last week Dustin Adams. This week, Cassius James. Next week, something different. Either Katie Steward or Autumn Valentine. We’ll find out who will defend the TV Title against Raab next week, later tonight!”

Raab gets up and has his arm raised. He looks around and smiles through his mask. He looks around as the crowd cheers him. Cassius stirs in the ring as we cut away.

Backstage we see Bree Lancaster walking down a hall, a yellow envelope under her arm and a purposeful look on her face. She stops in front of a locker room door, takes a deep breath, then knocks. Seconds later, the door opens and Blake Mason steps out. On seeing Bree, his eyes narrow.

Blake: “What do you want, Bree?”

Bree: “I need to ask you a favor.”

Blake: “I'm not sure there's anything I can really do for you.”

Bree sighs and pulls the envelope from under her arm, holding it in both hands.

Bree: “Look, this isn't very easy so please don't make it harder than it needs to be. All I want is for you to sign this.”

Bree hands Blake the envelope. He eyes her a second, then opens it, pulling a document out.

Bree: “It's for an annulment.”

Blake: “I see that...”

Blake scans the top page as Bree crosses her arms.

Bree: “I know you already filed the separation, but that's going to take another five months from now before anything is final. I don't want this to keep dragging out. I know you've seen the tripe some media sites have been putting out.”

Blake nods.

Bree: “I don't think you want any more of that, either. This has to be final now. This document will do that.”

Blake looks up from the paper, giving her a skeptical look.

Blake: “If I sign this... it makes the prenup we signed invalid. You won't get anything it entitles you to.”

Bree: “I know, my lawyer explained. And I don't care.”

Blake: “The reason the agreement exists is because I wanted to do right by you in case of... this.”

Bree shrugs.

Bree: “You can give me the money anyway if it'll make you feel better. But I don't want it. I never did, you know that. All I want is your signature. I'll file it Monday morning, on my birthday, you can look at it as the last gift you ever have to give me.”

Blake: “This is really what you want?”

Bree: “No. It's what YOU want. And if that's the way it is, I at least want it over with as soon as possible and on my terms. This way neither of us are in limbo until December and we can both just go forward.”

Blake looks down at the paper in his hand again, and then nods.

Blake: “Alright.”

He then pulls a pen out of his jacket's inside pocket, turns to place the paper up against the wall, flips to the second page, and signs at the bottom. Blake turns back and hands Bree the document and envelope back. She looks down at it, where he signed, for a second, then tucks it back into the envelope.

Bree: “Thank you.”

Blake: “Don't mention it. Happy birthday.”

He then turns and goes back into his locker room, shutting the door softly.

Bree: “Happy Independence Day.”

Bree tucks the envelope back under her arm and walks off as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We see a shot of the Rise to Greatness logo come up on the screen with a very prominent XV in the background. We then see on a scrolling marquee underneath “18 Days Away!” The number of days remaining keeps scrolling past before the scene fades out.

Truelove Twins vs. Sophie James & David Callahan

“EVERYONE… EVENTUALLY… LET’S YOU DOWN…
EVERYOOOOONE…EVENTUALLYYYYY… LET’S YOU DOOOOWN”

The lights in the arena cut completely as the eerie choir-like lines from the SCW remix of “Negative Space” by A Day To Remember hits the speaker system. As the intro begins to play out, strobe lights flash on the stage in time with music. They cut completely again as just the bass guitar plays before the song kicks into full flow.

“THESE WALLS, THIS HOOOUSE”

Pyro’s explode on either end of the stage as the song kicks in fully and the lights flash back up to show Sophie James standing on the stage, where she throws back the hood of her hooded top and then throws her arms out wide and the crowd begin to cheer loudly as Sophie grins broadly. David Callahan stands with her and looks around, a bit of a scowl on his face. Sophie turns and smacks him in the arm and David turns to her. Both hold their SCW World Tag Team Championships.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit! First, on their way to the ring, they are the SCW World Tag Team Champions, they are David Callahan and the Motor City Bitch, Sophie James!”

With another grin, Sophie suddenly bursts down the ramp, jumping up and sliding leg first under the bottom rope before leaping up and ascending the turnbuckles. Callahan runs after her and stops at the ring. Standing on the middle rope, Sophie once again throws her arms out on both sides, her music still thrashing out as the fans cheer again. Callahan rolls in and gets up and looks at her. Callahan starts to try and get the fans to stop cheering. Hopping down, Sophie does the same on the opposite side of the ring before dropping down again and removing her jacket, which she tosses to the outside before taking a seat in the corner, her arms draped across the bottom rope on either side of her as her music fades and she waits for the start of the match. Callahan walks over and joins her.

Sharper: “Last week, we saw a number of teams who clearly have problems with each other, but they’re all gunning for the World Tag Team Titles. Callahan and James watched it all. Tonight, they may be thrust in it.”

Knots: “They’ve had issues with Har Megiddo, with the Network, now facing the Trueloves. Who the hell knows what we’re going to see.”

“Just A Dream” by Nelly plays throughout the arena, a gold spotlight with blue flashers begin to circle the entranceway. The two twins, London and Paris Truelove walk out holding hands. They look at each other and pose for the cameras before Laura Steinbeck walks out and nods, leading the Twins toward the ring…..

Phillips: “And their opponents, accompanied by Laura Steinbeck and representing Past, Present, Future, they are Laura and Paris, the Truelove Twins!”

The Twins then make their way down the aisle. They both get to the apron at the same time, Paris & London both hold the ropes for Laura as she slowly gets in the ring. London enters first before Paris does. They both walk to the turnbuckles, climb to the second ropes and pose for the flashes while Laura stands in the middle of the ring and points to the Truelove Twins. They get down and await the match to start as Laura makes her way to the corner.

Sharper: “The Truelove Twins want their title shot. They made that clear last week to Laura. A win here makes a big statement.”

Knots: “They wanted the shot handed to them weeks ago. That’s not coming. Not with everything else going on in SCW.”

The bell sounds as Sophie James hops up and down and gets ready to go. London looks at Sophie and the two walk around the ring. They lunge and lock up in the middle of the ring in a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back on one another before Sophie turns into a side headlock. She pulls back and London gets her back into the ropes and fires her off. Sophie bounces off the other side and shoulders London down. London hits the mat. Sophie runs into the ropes, hops over London before bouncing off the other side. London jumps up and leapfrogs over her. Sophie bounces off the other side and London goes for a hip toss. Sophie blocks it and knees her in the ribs. She then pushes her back and hits a dropkick. London hits the mat and rolls over and reaches up to Paris. Sophie just tells her to come at her as the crowd roars. Paris tags in as she enters. The two circle the ring.

Sharper: “Sophie ready to go. Ready to compete here tonight.”

Knots: “Maybe just pissing off the Trueloves!”

Sharper: “Sophie doesn’t seem to mind. She’s in the zone here.”

Sophie and Paris then lunge and Sophie forearms her in the jaw. She forearms her again and then whips her into the ropes. Paris bounces off. Sophie goes for a back drop off the rebound, but Paris goes up and over and lands behind her. Sophie turns and Paris kicks her in the ribs and then hits a boot to the face. Sophie hits the mat. She starts to get up and Paris snapmares her over and then hits a dropkick to her back. She goes for the pin.

Sophie kicks out. Both women get up and Paris forearms her in the jaw and then runs her into the neutral corner. Paris then turns and tags in London. Paris turns back and kicks Sophie in the ribs. She then turns and throws her out of the corner and into the opposite one. She dives down in front of her as London runs after and hits a running leg lariat. The crowd ohs and Sophie falls to her knees. London rolls her over for the pin.

Sophie kicks out. London gets up and grabs Sophie as Paris exits. David looks on.

Sharper: “Sophie quickly in trouble as the Trueloves double team. Only a two though.”

Knots: “And just immediately knew what to do. Paris got her across. London followed. Bing, bang, boom.”

Sophie staggers forward and London kicks her in the ribs. She then whips her into the ropes. Sophie bounces off and London jumps up with a calf kick to the jaw. She turns and gets up and hits a leg drop. She rolls over and turns and tags in Paris. Paris climbs up to the top rope. She then looks over at Sophie and hits a diving elbow drop. She goes for the pin.

Sophie kicks out as David goes to enter, but steps back. Sophie rolls over and Paris pulls her up. She then clubs her in the back and then again before turning and whipping her into the corner. Paris runs after and Sophie gets an elbow up before running out and hitting a running facebuster. Sophie rolls over and shakes her head as David extends his hand. Sophie gets up as Paris gets up and dives at her, but Sophie takes her over with a hip throw, grabbing her arm and tagging in David. David enters and hits an elbow drop to Paris. Sophie lets go and exits the ring. London enters and runs at David and David sidesteps her and throws London over the top rope to the floor.

Sharper: “London looking for a quick chance to stop David Callahan from getting going and she’s sent to the floor!”

Knots: “That idiot actually caught her.”

Sharper: “London landing hard on the floor and Callahan looking to turn it around for the Tag Team Champions.”

David turns and lifts Paris up and hits an inverted atomic drop. He then stops and realizes that wouldn’t work and shrugs before clotheslining her down. He runs into the ropes and bounces off and hits a jumping elbow drop to the chest of Paris. Paris rolls over as London walks around the ring in pain. Laura helps her to her corner as David pulls Paris up and hits a vertical suplex. He then rolls over and pulls her back up. He turns and locks in a standing crossface. The crowd roars as he pulls back. Paris yells in pain and London rolls back in and nails David with a spinning heel kick. The crowd boos as David lets go and falls over. London then turns and gets up as Sophie paces on the apron. Paris stirs as David starts to get up. Paris pulls herself up and London heads back over to the corner. David starts to get up and turns as Paris then drop toe holds him into the corner. She turns and reaches up and tags in London. The crowd boos as London enters. Paris gets back up and London and her look at each other. David starts to stagger back up, holding his jaw. He staggers back and Paris and London then lunge for a double superkick, but David ducks. He then rolls out of the ring. London and Paris look at each other before Paris turns and rolls to the floor. David quickly rolls back in and London kicks him in the ribs.

Sharper: “David trying to get out of dodge. Worked to a degree. Missing the double superkick, but not the kick from London!”

Knots: “If they want him, they’ll get him. The Truelove Twins are ready to be champions! It’s just a matter of time!”

London then grabs David and pulls him in by the head. She goes for a DDT, but David blocks it and back drops her over. David then falls back and tags in Sophie. Sophie enters the ring by climbing to the top rope. London gets up and Sophie hits a diving crossbody from the top rope.

London kicks out. Sophie rolls through and Paris reaches in, but Sophie forearms her. The crowd roars. Sophie turns around and runs over and hits a running knee to the ribs of London. London flips over, wincing in pain. Sophie then looks around and starts to motion to her to get up. London gets up and Sophie goes for the 4-Seb, but London ducks. Sophie steps forward and London runs her face first into the Truelove corner. London then tags in Paris.

Sharper: “Now Sophie missing the superkick.”

Knots: “Everyone’s got the superkick scouted tonight in South Beach!”

Paris enters and Sophie suddenly kicks Paris in the ribs and then London in the ribs, trying to fight out. The crowd roars and we then cut to see David Callahan yelling at someone. He kicks off the apron as we see Dante McCaffery standing at the end of the entrance way. The crowd boos seeing them. Sophie looks at him and steps forward, but the Trueloves grab her, push her back hard into the corner and she staggers forward.

Sharper: “Dante McCAffery is here! We saw Dante talking to the Truelove Twins last week!”

Knots: “He has Sophie’s attention. She just saw him as David is kicking away at him, keeping him back.”

The Trueloves spin forward and grab Sophie’s head before planting her with the Love in an Elevator. The crowd ohs. Paris goes for the pin as London gets up and runs over and dropkicks David off the apron. He falls forward. Dante looks at the ring.

The crowd boos. The bell sounds.

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

Laura applauds on the floor as she walks up the steel steps and Dante then starts to stomp away on David. David covers up as Dante keeps stomping away on him. London and Paris have their arm raised as they stand over Sophie James.

Sharper: “And look at this! They’ve taken the win with Sophie distracted and now are standing over Sophie James while Dante McCaffery stomps away on David Callahan!”

Knots: “Looks like whatever they talked about last week worked out! The Truelove Twins want a shot at the World Tag Team Championship.”

Sharper: “Last week, the Network assaulted Har Megiddo and Damian Angel. Tonight, Dante making sure the Truelove Twins would win and now looking to take out one half of the champs!”

Dante gets a few more shots in as the official from the match goes down and tries to get him off. The bell sounds again as London and Paris look down at Sophie and smile before Laura points to them. The crowd boos as we then cut away.

Backstage we see Ace Marshall just getting off the phone as he turns to Cassidy in their locker room.

Cassidy: “Can’t believe you’re wasting your time on this.”

Ace: “Well I mean, I need to do something special. We’ve waited to face each other for so long and I doubt she’s going to meet me at the janitor’s closet.”

Cassidy glares at him.

Cassidy: “Given that I don’t need that joke when I’m loving that Ravyn may be gone.”

Ace: “Aww…are you jealous just because we have something special with us challenging to do something stupid for fun with all of these assholes with sticks up their asses-“

The door opens as Justin Davis steps forward.

Ace: “Speaking of-“

Davis: “Do you want an ass-kicking? Seems like I owe you one after our match.”

Ace: “Don’t you have something for Josh-“

Davis: “He’s last. I’m going to make him wait. Now if you don’t want an ass-kicking now, you can help me with something.”

Ace backs off a bit. Cassidy steps forward.

Cassidy: “Calm…calm…”

Davis: “You know Rachel.”

Cassidy: “Yes. I know many Rachels-“

Davis: “Foxx. I want to face her.”

Ace: “You’ll be waiting a bit.”

Cassidy: “She’s bloated like a whale. Has a parasite inside her.”

Davis looks down.

Ace: “That means she’s pregnant.”

Davis: “I got it.”

Cassidy: “But you don’t have to wait long. Should be popping any time.”

Davis nods.

Davis: “Not soon enough.”

Ace: “What? You gonna get pissy-“

Davis turns and nails Ace, knocking him down.

Davis: “You want to avoid another, you’re going to get in touch with her and the moment she’s ready. I want her. I’m done waiting for Hudson…but I have a few more notches to get through. She’s one.”

Davis turns and walks off as Cassidy looks at Davis and then turns and helps Ace up. Ace winces and holds his jaw.

Ace: “Damn it. He learned to punch!”

The scene fades out.

We open up backstage to see Dawn Lohan walking backstage and then walking over to Max Kane as he leans against a wall, watching down the hallway.

Dawn: “Don’t tell me you’re part of this?”

Kane turns to her.

Kane: “Say what?”

Dawn: “This deal with the Trueloves. The attack last week, then this week.”

Kane: “And if I am?”

Dawn: “Then that settles it-“

Dawn goes to walk off, but Kane stops her.

Kane: “Nothing to settle. Look, we’re still looking to win. I’m still looking to jump off something high. I’m looking to have the world watch me. And you’re still Ms. Wonderful.”

Dawn: “What’s the deal then?”

Kane shrugs.

Kane: “Easy. Win the titles. They’re then London and Paris’.”

Dawn: “Do I want to know the cost?”

Kane: “Probably not. But Dawn, here’s the best part. You agreed to return and work with us as long as you’re not involved in the seedier part. Well that’s the behind the scenes. In that ring though…you just gotta win.”

Dawn: “And then hand over the title.”

Kane: “The titles would be the Network’s….”

Dawn: “Not to me. And no title match has been named you.”

Kane: “Oh? You didn’t hear?”

Kane smirks as he then pulls a piece of paper out of his pocket and hands it to Dawn. Dawn looks at it and reads it.

Dawn: “Fatal four way…for the titles at Rise to Greatness.”

Kane then steps forward.

Kane: “So Dawn…you got a question to ask yourself. We can pull in Savali or Parker or even Dante. I want you. Let me know. Want to get your hands on Har Megiddo or even the Trueloves. Be on the card. Or just watching from the sidelines. Wish I didn’t have to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m getting what I want and I like ya. At least we can enjoy the non-dirty stuff.”

Kane turns and grabs the paper from Dawn and then turns.

Kane: “Looks like Har Megiddo aint coming out for a piss. I’ve got other places to be.”

Kane walks off as Dawn looks down and sighs as she shakes her head. We then cut away.

Josh Woodrum vs. Casterillo

"Spoilin' For A Fight" by AC/DC plays, the arena darkens. Orange strobe lights flash through out the arena as the curtain parts and out walks Josh Woodrum wearing his ring gear and a black and orange "Mister Impressive" T-shirt.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Lexington, Kentucky, he is Mister Impressive, Josh Woodrum!”

Woodrum walks to the middle of the ramp, stops surveys the crowd and then holds up both arms in the "rock on" hand sign as pyros explode behind him. He saunters to the apron, jumps up and cockily hops over the ropes and lands in the ring. He walks to the center of the ring and with great flourish rips off his shirt. He tosses the remains into the crowd and cups his hand to his ear, hitting all four sides of the ring before striking a double bicep pose in the center of the ring. Woodrum climbs the nearest turnbuckle, he flashes another "rock on" hand sign and steps down as his music fades.

Sharper: “Josh Woodrum returning to the ring. He’s now good to go after recovering from a fractured arm.”

Knots: “And yeah, he’s going to have to move on in a bunch of ways. Gothfather on the injured list. Barnhart has left SCW. Woodrum won’t be getting his revenge, but he’s going to keep looking to make waves in SCW.”

The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the big screen. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine. The music plays even though the arena stays dark.

Phillips: “His opponent, from parts unknown, he is Casterillo!”

It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He immediately springs right into action, ready for the match.

Sharper: “Casterillo looked impressive a couple of weeks ago and at Taking Hold of the Flame. Woodrum and Casterillo seemed to be on the same side, but not tonight.”

Knots: “Casterillo seems like someone who wants to run by himself. I don’t think he needs Woodrum, which could be a mistake. Seems like a fun guy!”

The bell sounds. Casterillo then lunges and nails Woodrum in the side of the head with a clubbing blow. He then nails him again and clubs him in the back. Woodrum staggers to the ropes. Casterillo then nails him with a hard right to the ribs. He grabs him and whips him across the ring. Casterillo turns and lunges for a clothesline. Woodrum ducks and stops. Casterillo turns around and Woodrum scoops him up and slams him down. Casterillo rolls over nad gets up and Woodrum nails him with a hard right and then another and finally a third, knocking him into the corner. Woodrum then grabs him and whips him across the ring. Casterillo hits the corner and steps out and Woodrum runs at him and nails him with an axe bomber and Casterillo hits the mat. He slowly stirs.

Sharper: “Woodrum coming right at Casterillo!”

Knots: “Casterillo’s been the one quicker off the draw when we’ve seen him and Woodrum seemingly used to that!”

Casterillo gets up and Woodrum clubs him in the back and then again. He whips Casterillo into the ropes. Casterillo bounces off and Woodrum scoops him up, but Casterillo slides behind him. Woodrum turns around and Casterillo kicks him in the ribs and drops to a knee and hits a hard uppercut. Woodrum stumbles back. Casterillo gets up and Woodrum steps towards Casterillo lunges and nails him with a running punch. Woodrum staggers and Casterillo runs into the ropes behind him and nails Woodrum with a second running punch to the side of the head, knocking him down. He goes for the pin.

Woodrum kicks out. Casterillo grabs him and drags him up. He then hits a fireman’s carry takeover and nails him in the side of the head with a forearm and then another.

Sharper: “Hard shots to the head.”

Knots: “Woodrum may just be put out from Casterillo. And think, they were maybe working together a couple of weeks ago!”

Casterillo nails him with a third and Woodrum drops to the mat. Casterillo goes for the pin.

Woodrum kicks out. Casterillo looks up and turns and grabs him. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Woodrum bounces off and Casterillo goes for a spear, but Woodrum jumps over him. The crowd ohs. Casterillo gets up and Woodrum bounces off the ropes and hits a running boot to Casterillo. Casterillo gets up and he turns only for Woodrum jumps up and hits the That’s Gotta Hurt. He turns and hooks the leg.

Casterillo kicks out. Woodrum rolls off and looks at him before jumping up and hitting a leg drop. He turns and goes for another pin.

Casterillo kicks out again. Woodrum turns to the official and claps his hands three times. The official affirms the two count.

Sharper: “Only a two. Josh Woodrum a bit frustrated.”

Knots: “Threw a lot at him, but Casterillo keeps coming!”

Sharper: “Woodrum thought he had it!”

Woodrum rolls over and grabs Casterillo. He pulls him up before then grabbing him by the head. He then hits an Extreme DDT. Woodrum turns and grabs at the ropes. He then exits to the apron. The crowd roars as Woodrum climbs up to the top rope. He looks around as he steadies himself on the top rope. He then dives off for a splash, but Casterillo calmly rolls out of the way. Woodrum hits the mat and winces and starts to get up. Casterillo gets up and runs at him and hits the Thunder Run. Woodrum hits the mat and rolls over and Casterillo pulls him in, placing his head between his legs. He then hoists him up and hits the Trial by Fire. The crowd ohs as Casterillo remains down for the pin.

Woodrum rolls his shoulder up and rolls over. He looks around as Casterillo glares at the official before starting to get up.

Sharper: “Nearfall for Casterillo! He planted Woodrum with that powerbomb, but Woodrum able to get out.”

Knots: “And Woodrum trying to will himself up now!”

Woodrum starts to pump himself up and Casterillo runs into the ropes and drills him with another Thunder Run as he gets up. Woodrum rolls over and stirs and Casterillo walks over and grabs him and pulls him up before dropping him with the Holy Water. The crowd ohs and Casterillo rolls Woodrum over and covers him.

The crowd boos as Casterillo pushes off and starts to get up.

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

Sharper: “Another victory for Casterillo who has come in and looks dominant here so far.”

Knots: “Another match, another impression. Who’s next for this guy?”

Casterillo pulls away from the official as he goes to raise his arm. Casterillo glares at him before looking around and just slowly walking around the ring. The camera focuses on him for a few moments before we then cut away.

We open up backstage to see Bree Lancaster walking backstage with Scott Burnside. We see Alistaire Allocco running up behind her.

Alistaire: “Bree! Hey! Bree!”

Scott turns to Bree and pulls her out of the way.

Scott: “Look out!”

Bree turns and Scott stands in front of her, before covering his face. Alistaire looks confused.

Alistaire: “No, no! I’m not here to attack you. I’m here to wish you luck. I’m happy I have this match this week.”

Bree looks a bit unsure before Alistaire extends his hand. Bree shakes it reluctantly.

Bree: “Well I know facing someone of my skill is a great honour.”

Alistaire: “Not just that, but you’re someone who cares about the rules of professional wrestling. Someone who stands for fighting the good fight! Plus, you don’t pretend to stand for those while giving into salaciousness. Oh no…So you’re the perfect person to help me remind Jake Starr that he can return to this pure wrestling style. He doesn’t need to rely on cheating to have matches that inspire!”

Bree: “Uh…sure. But you do know that Jake is beyond hope?”

Alistaire: “I’m not teaching an old dog new tricks. Just looking to help him remember his old ones. He was a hero to me as a kid. He can wrestle as one should again!”

Bree: “Sure thing Alistaire. See you in the ring.”

Bree and Scott walk off as Bree rolls her eyes as soon as she turns away.

Alistaire: “Good luck!”

Alistaire smiles.

Knots: “Jake Starr never followed the rules!”

Sharper: “To Alistaire, I guess he did. I don’t know, but Alistaire Allocco will face Bree Lancaster-“

Knots: “Mason!”

Sharper: “Sure…next!”

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown opens up backstage at the SCW interview area to see Jessica Winters standing with Kennedy Street, the SCW World Championship over her shoulder. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and I’m with the SCW World Champion, Kennedy Street and tonight, you face off against Ace Marshall in a match that is more than meets the eye. A lot of history, but also, maybe a chance to finally convince Giovanni Aries of what is really going on.”

Kennedy: “I don’t know if that’s actually going to happen or its even possible. But yes, I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to face Ace Marshall for years and probably half the world is, but it’s happening because Giovanni Aries has this foolish idea in his head that I’m affiliated with the Lizard King, honey. And trust me, I have nothing to do with whatever the hell that is. And on top of that, he’s thinking I’m tainted, I’m tricking him. I’m done with those days. Just like I’m done with Ace Marshall. Ace Marshall and Giovanni Aries have a history. We have a history. But if that’s what’s got Giovanni thinking I’m tainted….I’ve moved on and become a completely different person. And that person is the World Champion and tonight, I’m going to show Ace that he’s not got a place in my life anymore and then Gio…claim what you want. I’m going to prove that you’re not capable of beating me for the World Title at Rise to Greatness XV!”

Jessica: “Good luck tonight.”

Kennedy: “Thanks.”

Jessica: “Kennedy Street faces Ace Marshall tonight in our main event!”

The scene cuts away.

Bree Lancaster vs. Alistaire Allocco

The horns of "I'm Worth It" by Fifth Harmony begin as the lights dim somewhat, and a few white spotlights dance on the stage in time to the music. Bree Lancaster appears, her white silk robe clinging to her hips. Scott Burnside appears behind her.

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

Bree then starts down the ramp as the chorus continues, her free hand on the silver silk belt holding her robe shut. Scott follows a few steps behind as two crossing spotlights follow Bree's progress.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by her personal assistant Scott Burnside, she is Bree Lancaster!”

The music continues as Bree gets to the ring. She stops at the steps to pose a second as Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows up the steps as Scott then holds the ropes open for Bree to step through. She then does a little circle in the ring, showing off a bit, before stopping in the middle of the ring. Bree tugs on the silver belt, and the robe falls open revealing her pure white and silver trimmed outfit. She then pulls the robe off, swishing it around and tossing it at Scott as he stands near the corner on the apron. Bree then raises her arms overhead in a flourish, then walks another small circle, glaring at fans in the front row who are booing her. Scott goes down the steps to the floor as Bree's music fades and the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster, now getting referred to by her maiden name again, separated from Blake. Still focused on Jason Helms and now we know she’ll be seeing a US Championship match.”

Knots: “But she’s got to deal with a lot before them. Alistaire Allocco tonight. And she can get her US Title shot and I hope that Jason Helms makes sure that Rise to Greatness is another bad night for her!”

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

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

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

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco says this match is to show Jake Starr how he used to wrestle, that he could compete without taking shortcuts or bending the rules.”

Knots: “Since when didn’t Jake Starr bend the rules. He didn’t care. He did whatever he wanted.”

Sharper: “Could be a bit of nostalgia. Allocco is a fan of Jake Starr. Loved him when he went up against his father whom he has no love lost for. But a great deal of respect. Last week may have opened his eyes.”

Knots: “Starr was finding every rule to break by the end!”

The bell sounds. Alistaire nods as he and Bree start to circle the ring. They then lunge toward one another and Bree drops down and spins around Alistaire and into a waistlock from behind. She then moves into a side headlock. She pulls back. Alistaire drags her back to the ropes and fires her off. She bounces off and Alistaire takes her down with a drop toe hold. He rolls through and into a side headlock. He pulls back as Bree winces a bit. Alistaire holds on and the crowd looks on booing as Bree tries to get free before Alistaire slips off and Bree moves up and pulls back on Alistaire’s arm, locking in a hammerlock. Alistaire winces and starts to get up, stepping up to his feet. Bree holds on and pulls up. Alistaire reaches back before ducking down and around and fireman’s carrying Bree over. Bree rolls over to the ropes. Alistaire grabs her and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Alistaire goes for a clothesline. Bree slides between his legs. Alistaire turns around and Bree hits a dropkick, knocking Alistaire down.

Sharper: “Trading holds to start and Bree hits the first major strike of the match with the dropkick!”

Knots: “Not like Bree can trade holds for too long. Works for a while. Allocco may be awkward and naïve, but he can go.”

Alistaire rolls over and starts to get up and Bree grabs him and hits a snapmare. She then knees him in the back and hits another dropkick. She goes for the pin.

Alistaire kicks out. Bree gets up. Alistaire starts to get up. Bree moves in and forearms him in the jaw and then again before running across the ring. She bounces off and Alistaire catches her with a European uppercut. Bree falls back and rolls through. She gets up and Alistaire grabs her and hits a snap suplex. He floats over for the pin.

Bree kicks out. She turns and starts to get up, but Alistaire locks in an arm bar. He holds on and Bree winces a bit. She starts to get her knees under her before flipping forward. Alistaire stands up and Bree boots him in the face. He falls back. He gets up and Bree gets up again and Alistaire runs at Bree and Bree hits a dropkick to his knee. Alistaire falls face first into the middle turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Bree again using her quickness. Face first into the corner with the drop toe hold.”

Knots: “Tripping. Hardly classy.”

Sharper: “We know. You don’t like her.”

Knots: “Damn right. Not after what she’s done and said to Kennedy and Amy and all of them! I can’t believe I’m cheering for Alistaire tonight!”

Alistaire starts to get up and Bree rolls him up with a school boy.

Alistaire kicks out. Both get up and Bree kicks him in the ribs. Alistaire falls into the ropes. Bree then grabs him and moves him into the corner. Bree then jumps up onto his knees and hits a monkey flip. Alistaire rolls over. He starts to get up and Bree turns and forearms him in the jaw and then again before running into the ropes. She bounces off and Alistaire suddenly grabs Bree and hits a side belly to belly suplex. He hooks the leg.

Bree kicks out. Bree rolls over and starts to get up and holds onto the ropes. Alistaire notices this and waits before Bree turns around and Alistaire kicks her in the ribs and hits a single arm DDT. The crowd ohs. Alistaire goes for another pin.

Bree gets her shoulder up. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Nearfall! Alistaire Allocco got all of that DDT.”

Knots: “Damn. I hoped that would be it. I wanted a classy temper tantrum!”

Sharper: “But Allocco doing the little things. Waiting for Bree to not be holding onto the ropes even to continue the attack.”

Alistaire grabs Bree and lifts her up. Alistaire whips her into the corner. Alistaire runs after and nails her with a clothesline. Bree staggers out and down to the mat. Alistaire then turns and walks over to Bree and grabs her arm and rolls her over to her stomach before dropping down and locking in a crossface. He pulls back as the crowd roars. Bree reaches around as Alistaire keeps pulling back. Bree starts to move his leg. The crowd looks on as Bree moves towards the ropes. Scott paces a bit as Bree breaks the plane of the ropes with her foot. The referee turns and calls for the break. Alistaire immediately lets go and turns and sees the foot. He nods and says something to the official. Bree rolls over and Alistaire then grabs her and lifts her up. He then grabs her and whips her into the ropes. Bree bounces off. Alistaire catches her and exploder suplex into a pin.

Bree gets her shoulder up. Bree rolls over and Alistaire grabs her, rolling over with her and trying to pull her up for another exploder suplex, but Bree blocks it with a knee to the ribs. She knees him again and Alistaire staggers back and hits the Priceless to the ribs. Alistaire falls to his knees.

Sharper: “Bree gets free and the kick right to the ribs.”

Knots: “Maybe those boots aren’t regulation. Wouldn’t that be hilarious.”

Sharper: “Given that there aren’t really any regulations there.”

Knots: “Quiet! I’m messing with both of them!”

Bree then staggers to the corner as Alistaire slowly gets back up and Bree pushes herself to the middle turnbuckle and then dives off with a blockbuster. The crowd ohs and Bree goes for the pin.

Alistaire gets his shoulder up. The crowd boos. Bree looks around before starting to get up. Bree grabs Alistaire and drags him up and nails him with a forearm and then another. She then goes to push him into the ropes and then fire him off, but Alistaire spins through and sends Bree in. Bree hits the ropes. Alistaire goes for a clothesline, but Bree catches him and goes for a crucifix pin.

Alistaire kicks out. Both get up and Bree goes for a clothesline. Alistaire ducks and grabs her and goes to push her into the ropes for an Okano roll. He stops at the ropes and then let’s go and backs up. Bree notices this on the big screen in front of her and she then suddenly hits a back kick to the shin and then spins through and rolls Alistaire through with a school boy, before pulling on the tights.

The crowd roars. Bree rolls out of the ring. Alistaire turns and looks at the official and points out that Bree pulled the tights.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Bree Lancaster!”

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster wins. But she used the tights.”

Knot: “Even she got one over Alistaire!”

Sharper: “He’s pleading his case. He was so thrilled about this and Bree just wants the win!”

Alistaire looks back as Bree just throws her arms up. Alistaire just looks at Bree and shakes his head before turning back to the official. He then sighs as we cut away.

Hana Ito is seen backstage with Crissy Gardner and Sam Raine. The crowd cheers seeing them.

Hana: “Hana Ito here and I’m with Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner. You both made your presence felt last week and Crissy, you returned to SCW after a long time away, supporting Sam.”

Crissy: “Why wouldn’t I? I mean you’ve got someone who has no respect and started this by going after her. And I wasn’t going to stand by and accept it.”

Sam: “Did Katie not like the turnabout is fair play? That’s fine. Tonight, we’ll let her have her moment against Autumn. But we want our moment at Rise to Greatness weekend. Pick one of your other Stewards. Meet us in the ring.”

The crowd roars.

Crissy: “I’m looking to have some fun Rise to Greatness weekend.”

Sam: “Same here, in a city I know well. And I want a Hall of Famer. I want Katie. I want whoever she can get in her corner. And we’re going to settle this. So Katie…you can have a tantrum. Scream or whatever. Put in a formal protest. It won’t matter. We’re coming and we’re coming to make an example out of you!”

Crissy smirks.

Hana: “There you have. The challenge made for Rise to Greatness. Stewards against Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner for Rise to Greatness weekend!”

We then cut away.

The lights go out and “Adrenaline” by Gavin Rossdale starts to play. The crowd roars as the cameras cut to the entrance way and we see Dylan Howell walk out from the back. He looks around the arena. He then starts to head to the ring.

Sharper: “Last week, Andrew Raynes made an announcement that will change his life and Dylan Howell’s forever.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

LAST WEEK:

We open up to see Andrew Raynes backstage. He has a microphone in his hand.

Raynes: “See, I finally got the news that I’ve been waiting for.”

We cut forward.

Raynes: “Dylan, you told me I could have any match I wanted anytime I wanted. I’ve got the match I want. And Mr. D finally made a good decision. I get you at Rise to Greatness, my Adrenaline Championship on the line. One last time!”

Raynes smiles.

Raynes: “And I know the match…the match I wanted…the match your career deserves to end in…Dylan…I get you in the Thunderdome!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen again.

We open up to see Dylan Howell in the ring, microphone in his hand and he looks around.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell heard that from home and he said this on social media: This match was like Christmas, Easter and his birthday all rolled into on.”

Knots: “The nutbar wants this match!”

Howell smiles as he looks around.

Howell: “Oh Andrew…I didn’t know you liked me that much. Too bad that you are holding Addy against its will or we could’ve been bestest friends. I mean you gave me a match that you wanted to face me in and I want to face you in and we can settle all of this and I can get Addy back around my waist!”

Howell pauses as he looks around as the crowd cheers.

Howell: “I get to kick your ass in the Thunderstorm!”

Knots: “It’s Thunderdome, you idiot!”

Howell looks around as the crowd roars.

Howell: “And in this Thunderstorm, I’m going to hit you with everything so hard you’ll wish you were back to being little Andrew, where you hid in the basement, under a pile of blankets while your mom tried to tell you, it’s okay. It’s all going to be okay. But it’s not going to be okay, because you hurt me Andrew and it’s my time to not just hurt you, but take Addy back so we are reunited and I can back where I should be. Addy and DyHowie, the greatest couple in WRESTLING HISTORY!”

The crowd roars as Howell looks around.

Howell: “And Andrew, this has been a long time coming, since you attacked me in that cage. Now I get a bigger, badder, better cage to do it in and THIS is the match you wanted. Oh Andrew…I didn’t know you liked me so much. We’re going to have so much fun…or I will!”

Just then “Through Struggle” by As I Lay Dying starts to play and the crowd boos. Dylan Howell turns to the entrance way as we then see Andrew Raynes walk out from the back, holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder. Next to him is Dustin Adams who just folds his arms and looks down at Dylan. Raynes has a microphone in his hand and looks at Dylan, shaking his head before starting to speak.

Raynes: “You really have just gotten dumber since I knocked you around that cage. But then again, you’re still coming after me and you look at this as a blessing in disguise. No Dylan, this won’t be something you’ll enjoy. This is something I will. You gave me this and you can try to spin it so your deluded self can feel good about this, but once you’re through the Thunderdome, you won’t be doing much else except regretting ever meeting me in that ring.”

Dylan: “Well maybe we don’t need to wait until Rise to Greatness. I mean, if you’re so sure you’ve got me and this is everything, I’m ready to fight tonight. I wasn’t here last week so you could see my face, the smile on it when you announced it, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the look on your face when you realize you’re screwed at Rise to Greatness!”

The crowd cheers as Andrew looks down at the ring with a scowl.

Raynes: “Sorry Dylan. I’m not going to give you any chance to weasel out of this. You told me I got any match I wanted at the night I wanted. I picked Rise to Greatness. I picked the Thunderdome and NOTHING will change that. I’ve waited for this for weeks. I finally got to announce it and Dylan, in two and a half weeks, I will live it. I can wait…”

The crowd boos.

Dylan: “Well Andrew, I guess I’m going to wait too, but that just means I get to have fun thinking about how I’m going to take the match YOU wanted on the night YOU wanted and how I made it my night when I walk out holding Addy and you can’t do anything about it!”

“Adrenaline” plays again as Andrew Raynes just looks at the ring and shakes his head. Dustin Adams just laughs as Dylan as Dylan looks at Andrew and nods. Andrew Raynes just turns and returns to the back as the crowd cheers Dylan. We start to hear an “Addy!” chant begin to break out and Dylan hears it. He starts to nod with it before pointing to the crowd to keep them going. The crowd continues to chant before we cut away.

We open up to see Josh Hudson walking through the backstage area. The crowd boos seeing him. He then heads over to Mr. D’s office and smirks before just barging in. Mr. D looks up.

Mr. D: “Oh good. I needed a reason to be snippy.”

Hudson: “Oh, don’t worry. I’m just going to be here to let you say no and then I’m going to get what I want anyway.”

Mr. D: “Oh good. Do I need to speak in this?”

Hudson: “Your call-“

Mr. D: “Figure out what you want? Given that Sienna and Regan are locked in-“

Hudson: “Oh yes. See, I was thinking about it and there’s only so much more for me to accomplish. But I’m not done yet. I notice you did something cute with Christy Matthews last week and Marie Jones. I know I can beat them both.”

Mr. D: “You’re gunning for the Adrenaline Championship.”

Hudson: “Not just gunning. But you think Marie could be the future? Not happening. You think Christy Matthews is going to ever get back to where she was? Who cares if she’s with Ravyn? I’ll just remind her then she’s definitely on the losing side of things. I want part of that match.”

Mr. D nods.

Mr. D: “Well Josh…you have a contract that makes it a reality. You want an instant answer, that’s what you’re going to use. Otherwise, I’ll think about it. And Past, Present, Future, doesn’t have me thinking too many nice things lately.”

Hudson: “Don’t ever change, D….always an asshole. But remember…I am one too.”

Hudson turns and walks off. Mr. D watches him leave as we cut away.

Sienna Swann & Syren vs. Donovan Kayl & Thirteen

The lights in the arena go out, prompting a small surprised pop from the fans. After a few moments, the heavy beats of "The Vengeful One" by Disturbed kick in as deep purple lighting and smoke begin to engulf the stage. On the tron we see a series of clips playing that can best be summarized as a depiction of chaos playing out in the world, all of them having a figure in a tattered black hooded cloak adorned with chains conveniently walking through them. When the lyrics kick in, we see this same figure slowly walk out through the smoke as he gazes out from under his hood at all the fans buzzing in anticipation, almost as though he's judging each and every one of them. Finally, when the song hits the chorus, the figure drops to his knees and whips his head back, throwing off the hood as he extends his arms in a familiar pose of being extended with his palms facing towards the ring, the motion causing an explosion of fire to his sides that continue to burst from the stage in tune with the music as the fans cheer at the sight of Thirteen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Thirteen!”

Slowly he rises to his feet and begins his march to the ring, listening to the fans cheering him on but keeping his focus on the task at hand. He leaps up onto the apron and steps between the ropes quickly before going to the center of the ring where he slowly runs his thumb across his throat before giving a thumbs down, giving a malicious smile as he does so. He proceeds to start removing his cloak as he awaits the start of the impending match.

Sharper: “Thirteen ready to team with Donovan Kayl in what may be one of the most interesting tag match of the year. On one side, you have Kayl and Thirteen where there is respect. They even agreed to having the same principles.”

Knots: “On the other, you have the IronAngel and you have Syren, who not only hate each other, but Sienna wants to take out Syren! Syren wants to take out Sienna!”

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

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

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

Phillips: “His partner, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling, Donovan Kayl!”

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

Sharper: “Meanwhile, these four will compete against each other at Rise to Greatness XV. Donovan Kayl looking to earn one more shot at the World Title in his hometown. Thirteen looking to do the same.”

Knots: “Syren wants another shot at Kennedy. I’m sure. The World Title is her end all be all and then there’s Sienna. She finally wants her shot. She wants her opportunity.”

Sharper: “All the motivation of the world for all four. But only one will walk out with a World Title shot after Rise to Greatness.”

The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. In the darkness we hear the thumping of a heart beating twice. With each beat we see a pink heart on the screens, and pink lights on the stage flashing in unison. After a few more seconds of darkness we hear the heart beating twice more, accompanied by the same lights. A few more seconds of darkness are followed by two more flashes of light, this time in a silhouette against the lights we see the figure of a woman standing. Two more heart beats once again show the silhouette of the woman. The crowd roars and “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. The music then abruptly stops. A few moments pass before “Style” by Taylor Swift then starts to play. It plays for a few moments as we see a couple of the photographers run out and roll a red carpet down. They then turn and stop as the music abruptly stops. Thirteen and Donovan Kayl walk over to each other and talk a bit as they look to the entrance way. Donovan then looks behind him. “Groupie” goes to begin again. It plays for a few bars before stopping.

Sharper: “What is going on?”

Knots: “We’ve heard Syren’s entrance. We’ve heard Sienna’s entrance. Photographers are ready.”

Sharper: “There’s something going on in the tunnel.”

A few moments pass before we cut to see Syren on one side of the sound technician with Sienna on the other side. The Truelove Twins are with her, holding the wings for Sienna to place on her back for her entrance, as we see a couple of officials come into the scene.

Syren: “Come on! Get out there. We all know I’m the star here!”

Sienna: “Please…just some of the dust I’ll blow away when I get through you at Rise to Greatness. Have your moment. You won’t be having more left!”

Syren: “Just like you had yours last year and you needed to steal a title so you didn’t cry yourself to sleep!”

Sienna: “Well your wife and the old bastard aren’t here to help you win tonight!”

Syren: “Get out to that ring. Get this through your head…I’m the one they came to see.”

Dean Black gets in and tries to break them up.

Black: “Come on. Syren…go!”

Syren: “Like hell I am! Just because your boss has a problem with my wife!”

Black: “Go!”

Syren: “Fine…then I’m making sure my partner tonight isn’t going to screw me over!”

She lunges and nails Sienna with a shot. Sienna nails Syren with one and then Syren spins her around, grabbing her by the hair and throwing her down. She runs after as Dean follows after to try and break them up as officials keep the Truelove Twins back to avoid this getting out of control. Syren grabs Sienna and pulls her up and Dean goes to lean in between them and Sienna nails Syren with a forearm. She falls into the side of the tunnel and Sienna knees Dean in the ribs, causing him to falls back, holding his chest. Sienna then grabs Syren and runs her forward and into the steps. The crowd cheers as Kayl and Thirteen look on from the ring and we cut to the arena.

Sharper: “Syren and Sienna going at it backstage.”

Knots: “At least they’re on their way here!”

Sharper: “Sienna and Syren already showing their overconfidence, their attitudes, even just who comes out first!”

A few moments pass before we see Sienna nailing Syren with a forearm shot and Syren falls out from through the curtain. She rolls over and gets up and turns and Sienna kicks her in the ribs with a shoot kick and kicks her again. She then smirks before turning and lunging and going for a forearm but Syren lifts her up and back drops her on the ramp. The crowd ohs and cheers as Sienna rolls over in pain. She starts to slowly get up and Syren grabs her and knees her in the ribs and then turns and starts to motion to throw Sienna off the stage. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Syren is trying to throw Sienna off!”

Knots: “Hey! Wait a minute. She may be the IronAngel but she’s not actually iron! That’s concrete!”

Sharper: “Kayl and Thirteen noticing this and going to stop her! They may not care for Sienna’s attitude, but they don’t want to see her taken out!”

Thirteen and Kayl exit the ring and Syren lifts Sienna up as she fights and Syren then turns and sees Thirteen and Kayl running up and Syren shoves Sienna at Thirteen. Thirteen catches her before falling over from the impact. Kayl then moves forward as Syren then goes for a hard right, but Kayl blocks it. She kicks him in the ribs and rakes his eyes. Kayl staggers back as Sienna and Thirteen start to get up and Thirteen turns and grabs Sienna and Sienna kicks him in the ribs. She tries again and Thirteen catches her before lifting her up and hitting a release northern lights suplex on the rampway. The crowd ohs. Syren kicks Kayl again and then runs over and jumps up for a Lou Thesz Press, but Kayl catches her. Syren shakes her head and Kayl backs up and turns and runs into the ring apron, driving her back first. Kayl then backs up and grabs her and spins her around and rolls her into the ring. Kayl rolls in after. The crowd roars as Sienna rolls over. Thirteen grabs her and drags her up and drags her towards the ring. Kayl gets up and tells Syren to get up as the referee in the ring looks at them. Syren starts to get up and moves to the ropes. The referee checks on her. Syren snaps at him. The referee then calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the crowd cheers as Kayl starts to move towards her. Syren then grits her teeth and lunges and goes for a kick, but Kayl blocks it.

Sharper: “This match now starting. Kayl catches Syren as Thirteen taking Sienna to the ring!”

Knots: “And they still have to work together. Sienna and Syren, but it’s not looking like it could happen. Syren just tried to take Sienna out before the match!”

Kayl spins Syren around and clotheslines her down. The crowd roars. Syren rolls over and moves over to the corner. Thirteen gets Sienna to the ring, but Sienna turns and knees him in the ribs and then forearms him in the jaw. Sienna backs up and kicks him in the ribs before going for a DDT. Thirteen rolls over on the floor, holding his head in pain as Kayl grabs Syren and whips her across the ring. Syren hits the corner, but goes up and over and to the apron. She then turns and looks at Sienna and Sienna gets up and Syren slingshots back into the ring and turns and runs at Kayl who nails her with a clothesline. He goes for the pin.

Syren kicks out. Sienna then sees Thirteen and turns and drags him up and looks around before rolling him into the ring. Sienna winces and slides in after.

Sharper: “Kayl takes down Syren again, but now Sienna and Thirteen are entering.”

Knots: “They’re not supposed to, but who is going to say no to Sienna Swann! She won’t take no for an answer!”

Sharper: “Forced to last week because of this match being announced. Probably even more driven to get whatever she wants! Even just entering second!”

Sienna slides in and the official stops her, but Sienna ignores him and stomps Thirteen in the ribs and then again and Kayl walks over and kicks her in the ribs. The crowd roars as he then whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Kayl lifts her up and hits a backbreaker. She rolls over. Kayl then turns and Syren nails him with a running Yakuza kick. Kayl hits the mat. She walks around as the crowd boos. The referee is trying to get Sienna out as Thirteen stirs and Syren turns and stomps Thirteen for good measure before turning back to Kayl and grabbing him and turning and throwing him into what would have been the Thirteen and Kayl corner. She then turns around and sees Sienna and grabs her and lifts her up.

Syren: “You want the attention. Fine!”

Syren turns and goes to throw her towards Kayl, but Sienna spins through and throws Syren into the ropes. She hits the ropes and Sienna spins through and hits the Off the Rack to the jaw, sending Syren up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Syren trying again to just go after Sienna and Sienna nailed Syren with that elbow!”

Knots: “Just drilled her and Syren thrown to the floor from the impact. Right in front of us. If I had popcorn, I’d throw it on her! Boo that woman! Yay Sienna!”

Sienna smirks and backs up before Thirteen grabs her from behind and hits a huge release German suplex, causing her to backflip through, landing on her ribs and she rolls over, holding them in pain.

Sharper: “Oh! What a German suplex. Thirteen making sure he got all of that! Just throwing her overhead and Sienna landing hard chest first.”

The referee just looks around before starting to count Syren, deciding that’s the best course of action. (1) Sienna rolls over as Thirteen winces. Kayl remains up in the corner.(2) Thirteen turns and grabs Sienna and pulls her up and hits a back suplex before going for a bridge. The referee continues to count Syren out. (3) Thirteen rolls over and gets up and goes to the official. He points to Sienna. The referee explains the situation and Sienna slowly gets up. Syren then grabs at the ropes and starts to get up and onto the apron.

Sharper: “Thirteen had a pin. I feel bad for referee Steven Hollinsworth. He’s just trying to get some control.”

Knots: “Counting out Syren. Probably realizes this is nuts. And at Rise to Greatness, it won’t be a tag. It’ll be fatal four way, so who cares about it being nuts. Just care about it in the ring!”

Thirteen turns and grabs at her. Syren nails him with a forearm and then another before Thirteen knees her. Sienna then runs at him and dropkicks him in the back of the head and he goes up and over the top rope. Syren falls with him and the two hit hard. Sienna then gets up and Kayl spins around her and rolls her up in a school boy. The referee hesitates for a moment before throwing his arms up and going for the pin.

Sienna kicks out. Kayl rolls back and turns around to Sienna before Sienna nails him with the Kiss of an Angel. The crowd ohs and Kayl falls to the mat. Sienna goes for the pin.

The crowd boos. Sienna rolls over and starts to go to the floor. She backs up, holding her arm over her head.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Syren and Sienna Swann!”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann getting the win here with the Kiss of an Angel!”

Knots: “Exactly what she plans to do at Rise to Greatness!”

Sharper: “Kayl had the roll-up. The referee deciding to focus on the action in the ring. But Sienna saw the moment, just quicker than Kayl at this point and that got it done! We won’t hear the end of this.”

Thirteen slowly gets up and rolls into the ring. Syren remains at ringside as she gets up and Sienna points to her before throwing her arms up. Thirteen looks at her before Syren turns and goes over to Knots and Sharper.

Syren: “That proves nothing! Nothing! Against me, she can’t beat me! Period!”

Syren pulls away.

Sharper: “You can prove it at Rise to Greatness!”

Knots: “And hopefully without CHBK and Ravyn Taylor around!”

Sienna continues to back up the rampway as Kayl holds his jaw, rolling over slowly. We then cut away.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Ace Marshall in the ring with Cassidy Carter before showing Ace running down Katelyn Buehler and James Evans verbally before we cut to show Kennedy Street in the ring and Giovanni taking her down by the arm and attacking her arm.

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown! Ace Marshall faces off against his former flame in Kennedy Street. Will that prove to Giovanni Aries that Kennedy Street has nothing to do with this Lizard King?”

We then cut to see a shot of Selena Frost standing in the ring proudly before showing AJ Helms giving himself a self-high five. We then see shots of Selena Frost and Regan Street fighting at ringside.

Voice: “And Selena Frost will face off against AJ Helms. After how the night started, will emotions run wild with Regan Street’s adopted son?”

We then see shots of Katie Steward, Autumn Valentine, Kordelia Amida and others.

Voice: “All that and more as Breakdown continues!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and we cut to commercial.

Breakdown returns as we open up with a shot of the inside of the SCW Studios. The cameras pan down to then show Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown. We will be sending you to South Beach in a few moments. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters in Toronto in the SCW Studios. What a first half of SCW action we’ve had so far.”

Winters: “One controversy taken care of. We know Jason Helms is the US Champion. Regan Street however decided to make things a bit more interesting.”

Spirit: “And then we have that situation with Sienna and Syren. That Tag match was a mess and all because Syren couldn’t understand that maybe there was a finite time before Sienna was going to take that top spot.”

Winters: “Stunned you’d think that.”

Spirit: “Look. This business is in cycles and people come up, work their way up. We’re seeing it with Giovanni Aries now. We saw Alistaire Allocco come out of the blue. Some people have staying power. Syren had that, but I feel we may be on the cusp of something special with Sienna!”

Winters: “We’ll see because she’s in a match where she can set herself up. But so can Syren, Kayl and Thirteen, all of whom know how to win that big one and all of whom want that big one. Syren wants it, but she may need to figure things out by herself. Kayl is at home and Thirteen, this is an opportunity he wants. He wanted big time!”

Spirit: “Syren may be indeed need to figure it all by herself and maybe we can see how good she can be then!”

???: “Well that’s one interesting appraisal of the situation.”

Spirit turns as the camera angle changes.

Spirit: “Um…Security?”

CHBK: “Relax…Relax Spirit. We were invited in. I still have friends. I mean, we may be suspended…are we suspended?”

The camera turns to a wide shot as we see CHBK and Ravyn on the stage walking over to the desk. Winters looks off-camera.

CHBK: “Shawn. Great to see you.”

CHBK steps over and shakes his hand. Shawn looks over.

Shawn: “Been a while since we talked. We probably shouldn’t do this on an SCW format.”

CHBK: “Why not?”

Ravyn Taylor leans on the desk in front of Spirit.

Ravyn: “So Spirit, care to offer your analysis again? I mean, you’re a close friend of Sienna. I, however, have been in the ring with her. In fact, I’m the final Women’s Champion and in her pettiness, Sienna needed to take it so she would still have those pictures for her fraudulent photoshoots.”

Spirit: “I think we should go to commercial.”

Ravyn: “And lose out on why we’re here?”

CHBK: “Should we reveal how we got in here so easily.”

Ravyn: “Helps if you know the daughter of the boss.”

Shawn: “Should you be antagonizing any more?”

Ravyn: “Well I am just someone who schemes. Someone who can be just swatted away!”

CHBK: “Plus, I’m someone Olek wants to take out. I mean he even got the board to sign off on Trinity, seeing dollar signs. Nevermind I’m happily retired. I’m mentoring the future. But yet, here we are. I may be suspended. Ravyn too and it throws all of that in chaos.”

CHBK shrugs.

CHBK: “So how long until we hear from the boss?”

Ravyn: “I’m surprised it took this long. So let’s fill the time. The analysis on Sienna? I figure I need a good discussion.”

Spirit: “Look, its-“

Ravyn: “There’s nothing to look at except someone with no conviction. Come on Spirit. Defend your friend .She’s the next coming of CHBK apparently!”

CHBK: “Actually I think that may have been Syren, but anyway-“

We then cut to see Mr. D on the big screen behind Spirit and Shawn, now with a microphone on his lapel and an earpiece.

Mr. D: “We on?”

Ravyn smiles and looks up as CHBK does too.

CHBK: “Ah, Olek. Pleasure to have you speak with us. Given that we’ve been ignored since we piledrove poor Gord. Poor guy. Really just an innocent, but well, you decided to play these games.”

Ravyn: “Collateral damage.”

Mr. D: “Good to see you’re using your time away to take some time to reconsider actions. Instead using my daughter to get attention. That’s rather desperate.”

Ravyn: “We could’ve just made you guess who. I mean Alex knows most people in the front office. You said so yourself. Maybe the Board would’ve let us watch the show with them.”

Mr. D: “Had you gone to the Board, it’s possible that you would have known what we’ve decided to do with you.”

Ravyn: “Oh good. I’m important again.”

Mr. D: “More we wanted to salvage this situation with Trinity. I mean, we could have just extended her contract, but you were right about the value of it happening on such a big stage.”

CHBK: “Too bad I don’t feel like competing and well, we did deserve a suspension.”

Ravyn: “Perhaps we should get them to replay that. I mean just so everyone at home knows exactly what we did.”

Mr. D: “Not necessary Ravyn. In fact, the Board of Directors and I were willing to make a special change. We’re waiving the automatic suspension in this case.”

CHBK smirks.

Ravyn: “Excellent. Spirit. You and I should talk-“

Ravyn goes towards Spirit, but Shawn gets up.

Mr. D: “Try it. Because now I can act as I see fit. And in this case, given that CHBK won’t be competing for much longer anyway, the Board would rather see the match, so you will face Trinity Street at Rise to Greatness, CHBK.”

CHBK: “Well maybe I just won’t show up.”

Mr. D: “Try it and Ravyn Taylor will never appear in an SCW ring ever again. The Board is ready to cut bait and move on. One less headache on this roster.”

CHBK sighs and Ravyn turns to CHBK before responding for him.

Ravyn: “He’ll be there. And you need to realize that all you’re doing is making me all that more motivated to succeed at everything I want.”

Mr. D: “Excellent. Let’s test to see how motivated you are. Because I have a match, just for you at Rise to Greatness.”

Ravyn: “Brilliant. Against whom?”

Mr. D smiles.

Mr. D: “Xander Valentine.”

CHBK looks down.

Mr. D: “Ask Alex what he’s capable of. Because if you don’t beat him by pinfall or submission at Rise to Greatness XV, you’ll still be fired anyways.”

Mr. D then pulls the earpiece out.

Mr. D: “Now get security to get them out of my studio!”

Mr. D steps off and pulls the microphone off and walks off. Spirit and Shawn just look on as CHBK turns to Ravyn who just smirks. CHBK looks annoyed as he turns to Ravyn and starts to move her out of the building. We see a couple of security guards walking over. Spirit and Shawn look at one another as we cut away.

Breakdown returns as we open up with a live shot inside the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. The cameras pan across the crowd before we cut to ringside to the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown in Miami. Stunning news just moments ago.”

Knots: “No suspension to CHBK or Ravyn. Instead, both to compete. If CHBK doesn’t show up, Ravyn is fired. He faces Trinity Street. But not just that, Ravyn has to face Xander Valentine and if she doesn’t win, she’s gone anyways!”

Sharper: “Last week, Mr. D pointing out that Ravyn Taylor doesn’t have much respect from people making decisions. They see the value in CHBK and Syren and Mr. D doubling down. Knowing CHBK’s faith in Ravyn Taylor as the top of this business with Syren…and even just needling her again.”

Knots: “And Xander’s not exactly happy. He’s coming off a loss to Alexis Quinne. A humiliating one. So he’s pissed and at Rise to Greatness, Ravyn may need to come up with a hell of a strategy to keep her SCW career alive! And I love it!”

Sharper: “Dark Fantasy having the plan to get Syren back to the top. Syren may be benefiting now, and they wanted more attention from people wanting to make them pay, likely as a way for them to gloat more, but it looks like they both back up against a wall and I have to say both damn sure deserve it. CHBK faces Trinity Street. Ravyn Taylor has to deal with Xander Valentine.”

Knots: “But what about the piledriver? Is it legal or is this a one-off?”

Sharper: “Sounds like a one off and I’m sure that’s going to get some people upset, but at the same time, the Board is firmly behind Mr. D. Looks like the people in charge, all over, are done with people feeling they can do whatever they want!”

The chimes of "Awake & Alive" by Skillet play as the arena goes dark, the video plays of a candle flickering when suddenly as the chorus plays the candle is blown out. The crowd cheers as we then see Trinity Street standing on the stage. She looks around as the crowd cheers.

Knots: “Hey!”

Sharper: “Well how about this. One of the places she calls home, Miami, and Trinity Street is here.”

We see Lucas Knight standing with her as they look around as Trinity Street standing on the stage, looking around, a microphone in her hand. She soaks in the cheers from the crowd. She looks around before her music fades out. Trinity then smiles as she brings the microphone to his mouth.

Trinity: “Well I’m glad that I’m coming out here in front of a place I’ve called home for so long and it’s not just to say hi!”

The crowd cheers.

Trinity: “Hi Alex…you’re not running anymore. Not unless you want to end the so-called hope and future you claim Dark Fantasy represented a bit earlier than you planned. And I don’t care what help D’s daughter can give you. Why she came to you? Even why she’s blowing his plans. Doesn’t matter to me. But I do think it’s a bit rich that a couple of years ago, you forced me out of SCW because Monarchy was some sort of cancer, but now, here we are, and you’re just doing the same thing.”

The crowd boos a bit.

Trinity: “Now I can’t make you go away. I don’t have the convenience of a Trios contract, but I can make you regret a lot of decisions and on the biggest stage of wrestling, I finally get to compete and one more time to face you CHBK. And I can’t wait.”

Trinity smiles before she looks around to the crowd who cheers.

Trinity: “It’s going to be a special night and I’m going to enjoy every second just like I did years ago.”

Trinity brings the microphone down as Trinity’s theme starts to play again. Trinity looks around as the crowd cheers. Lucas Knight smiles as Trinity throws her arm in the air. She looks around.

Sharper: “Simple message. She’s coming for CHBK.”

Knots: “And coming to take him out and I can’t think of anything more deserving for that son of a bitch!”

Trinity remains soaking in the reaction and playing to the Miami crowd.

We then cut backstage to see Donovan Kayl backstage and running his hand through his hair as he leans on the bench backstage. He then gets up and goes to start taking off his gear before we hear a knock at the door. Kayl turns and looks up as Mr. D walks in and walks over to Donovan.

Kayl: “Olek…”

Mr. D: “Hello Donovan. Tough night.”

Kayl: “You could say that.”

Mr. D: “Seems to be a trend.”

Kayl: “It’s a funk. Nothing I won’t get out of. Been in enough of these.”

Mr. D: “Fair enough…”

Mr. D pauses a moment.

Mr. D: “But let’s not forget why you and Thirteen are in this match. What you both said…I happen to agree with. But while I’m also sick of prima donnas and people asking for the world and the attitudes…I’m tired of anchors.”

Kayl: “Excuse me?”

Mr. D: “I’d make sure you’re at your best at Rise to Greatness. Hometown. Don’t want to let your hometown fans down…Right?”

Mr. D then pats Kayl on the back before turning and walking off. Kayl watches him leave, almost in disbelief.

“Immortals” then starts to play and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We see a shot of Selena Frost vs. AJ Helms come up on the screen.

Sharper: “Wow. That’s an interesting conversation we just saw.”

Knots: “Yeah, really.”

Sharper: “And next, we’ll see another tense situation. AJ Helms will face off against Selena Frost as Breakdown continues here from Miami!”

The scene fades to black.

Selena Frost vs. AJ Helms

"BELIEVE IT!"

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the ring.

Sharper: “Things riled up early tonight with Selena Frost coming down and mixing it up with Regan Street after she attacked Jason Helms and threatened to piledrive Mr. D.”

Knots: “She put him down, but yeah. Now with AJ Helms here. Oh this is going to be fun.”

Sharper: “Regan Street and David Helms’ adopted son.”

The lights in the arena cut completely and silence fills the room for a moment before “Rise Up” by Asking Alexandria blasts over the speaker system and the crash of the first drumbeat triggers a single spotlight on the stage. In the spotlight, we see AJ Helms standing with his back to the fans, the hood of his sleeveless jacket up over his head. In one fluid motion he spins around and stoops for a minute before throwing the hood back and his arms up in the Self High Five. He holds the pose for a second before jumping and breaking the hands apart, single pyros erupting with a ‘Bang’ on either side of the stage, which trigger the house lights to raise again as AJ smirks and starts to make his way to the ring. Mikaela Street and Regan Street follow behind him and continue to the ring.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Asbury Park, New Jersey, now fighting out of Hollywood California, accompanied by Mikaela Street and Regan Street, representing Past, Present, Future, he is AJ Helms!”

Reaching the bottom of the ramp, AJ gives a burst of speed and runs to the ring, jumping up and sliding in leg first before popping back up and running to the corner where he scales the turnbuckles and throws his arms into another Self High Five. Regan and Mikaela get to the ring. Selena watches AJ. AJ pushes back as he breaks the hands apart and turns to land facing the middle of the ring again. Walking over to the ropes, he leans into the camera at ringside and mouths the word “BANG” into it before removing his jacket and handing it off to the outside. Turning, he settles back into the corner and waits for the start of the match.

Sharper: “Regan and Mikaela joining AJ out here.”

Knots: “No pressure. None!”

Sharper: “Regan would love for AJ to beat Selena tonight here in Miami!”

AJ looks at Selena as Selena turns and looks at Regan and Mikaela. Regan hops onto the apron and the referee tells her to get down as AJ then runs across and nails Selena with a running kick . The crowd boos as Selena staggers back into the corner. AJ then follows up with a chop to the chest. The crowd woos. He chops her again. More woos and then he pulls her out and scoops her up and slams her down. Regan smiles as AJ goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out. AJ rolls off. Selena turns and winces and starts to get up and AJ pulls her up and then pushes her into the ropes. He fires her off. Selena bounces off and AJ hits a back elbow. He then walks around the ring as Selena holds her jaw and stirs.

Sharper: “AJ Helms taking advantage of that early distraction and running with it. Not giving Selena any chance to get this going.”

Knots: “AJ knows what this means for Regan. Plus for him!”

Selena starts to get up and AJ grabs her and scoops her up and slams her down again. Selena stirs as Regan yells at her. The crowd chants for Selena as AJ pulls her up and whips her into the corner. AJ runs after. Selena jumps up and goes to float over, but AJ catches her on his shoulder. He then hits a snake eyes and Selena stumbles back. AJ lunges and clotheslines her down. He goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out again. She turns and starts to get up as Helms watches her and then grabs her and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Helms goes for a clothesline on the rebound. She bounces off the other side and AJ goes for a back drop, but Selena spins through. Helms turns around and Selena hits a dropkick to the jaw. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Selena with the dropkick. Helms dropped to the mat!”

Knots: “Right to the jaw. Maybe wants to do that to Regan who’s been taunting her all match.”

Sharper: “Until now. She’s pacing!”

Regan paces as Mikaela looks on and Helms starts to get up and Selena runs to the ropes, jumps to the top rope and dives back with a leg lariat. He rolls through. She goes for the pin.

AJ kicks out .AJ rolls over and starts to get up and Selena grabs him and kicks him in the ribs. AJ falls to the ropes. Selena kicks him again. He turns and Selena jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking her up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd roars. Regan starts to walk around the ring as Mikaela follows. The referee turns and steps out onto the apron and tells them to stop. Regan points to AJ, yelling at him.

Regan: “I’m making sure my kid’s okay, jackass!”

The referee tells her to get back and Selena grabs the top rope, slingshots over the top rope to the middle rope and hits a moonsault onto AJ Helms as he gets up. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “While Regan was going around, Selena over the top! Moonsault onto AJ Helms!”

Knots: “Didn’t even give him a chance to figure out where she was coming from!”

The referee turns and tells Selena to get him into the ring. AJ winces as Selena gets up and Regan snaps at Selena and Mikaela holds her back as Selena then turns back and grabs AJ and drags him up and rolls him into the ring. He rolls over as Selena pulls herself onto the top rope and then springboards to the top rope and dives forward with a leg drop to the head of AJ. AJ winces and Selena goes for the pin.

AJ gets his shoulder up. Selena rolls off. She gets up and looks around before turning and pulling AJ up. She forearms him in the jaw and then again before pushing him into the ropes. She goes to whip him across, but AJ spins through and drills her with a short-arm clothesline. Selena slowly sits up from the impact and AJ turns and runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running dropkick. The crowd ohs and he rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Selena dominating for a period there, but AJ found an opening.”

Knots: “Clothesline and then a dropkick, but that was all AJ had left before he needed to take a moment.”

Sharper: “After getting knocked around on the floor and then in the ring, AJ Helms getting reminded about how dangerous Selena is in that ring!”

Regan cheers him on as AJ rolls over. He starts to get up and looks at Selena as she stirs and AJ stands next to her and hits a standing moonsault. He hooks the leg.

Selena gets her shoulder up. AJ looks up. He then grabs her and pulls her up. AJ then hits a snap suplex before turning and going over to the corner. He climbs up to the top rope, back to the ring. He gets to the top and Regan throws her arms up to cheer him on as Mikaela applauds too and he dives off with a corkscrew moonsault attempt, but Selena rolls out of the way. AJ hits hard and rolls over. He pulls himself up and Selena grabs him and wrenches his arm before hitting the Paydirt. AJ falls back and Selena goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Paydirt! AJ could be out!”

AJ kicks out.

Knots: “And Regan’s rage may have been enough to revive him!”

AJ rolls over slowly and Selena stirs and starts to get up. She looks at him and clubs him in the back as he gets up and then again. She runs into the ropes. She bounces off and AJ turns to her as she jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

AJ kicks out. Both competitors get up and Selena goes for a spin kick to the head, but Helms ducks it and spins around. Selena turns and AJ jumps up and hits a snap frankensteiner. AJ rolls over as Selena remains on her back. AJ gets up and looks around before turning and grabbing at Selena. He then pulls her up and scoop slams her down. AJ turns and exits to the apron. He climbs up to the top rope. The crowd boos as AJ gets to the top rope before we suddenly see someone running through the crowd and hopping over the barricade. The crowd cheers as its Alexis Quinne who hops onto the apron and shoves AJ off and AJ falls off the top rope and lands hard on the announce table. He falls back as the crowd cheers. The bell sounds. Regan runs around the ring and Alexis jumps down and spins around as Regan hops onto the apron, to grab at her, but Alexis backs off, her arms outstretched.

Sharper: “Quinne! From the crowd!”

Knots: “AJ just landed right in front of us with a splat. The impact took out my monitor!”

Sharper: “Revenge maybe for AJ Helms walking off when Xander Valentine came down!”

Knots: “Regan wants Alexis, just glaring at her from the apron. Helms had Selena set up!”

Selena however looks at Alexis and then Regan as Mikaela checks on AJ Helms as he’s down on the mats. Regan looks at Selena as she’s getting up before going to enter. Selena pulls herself up and then motions to Regan to come at her, but Regan steps off and drops down to check on AJ. Selena just looks at her, taking a few deep breaths.

Sharper: “Regan actually turning away from a fight with Selena.”

Knots: “Family first!”

Sharper: “Unless they don’t agree with you. Then screw em? Right?”

Quinne just continues to walk to the back. Selena glances back at her as she turns back to Regan, watching her as we cut away.

Backstage, we open up to see Giovanni Aries backstage, sitting cross-legged on the floor. He just can be seen calm and relaxed. Jessica Winters stands next to him.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and I’m with Giovanni Aries and Giovanni, you’ve been making some accusations about Kennedy Street and how she’s tainted and working with the Lizard King and then last week, you attacked her. Could you please clarify why you have such a problem?”

Giovanni’s calmness ends and Giovanni turns to Jessica.

Giovanni: “You were sent by him.”

Jessica: “By who?”

Giovanni: “The Lizard King. That’s why you can’t understand what I’m doing. It’s obvious that she’s been summoned by him and why she’s sided with him. He’s got control of her and the World Championship is the key. We’ve seen it all year. Even when Kennedy came to see him. To shake my hand. To spread his diseases to me, with the same way he controls her…I’m not going to let him…”

Jessica: “So wait…it has nothing to do with Ace?”

Giovanni: “That I can’t be sure. Even now, they may face tonight, but maybe it’s just a ruse. Maybe it’s a creative way to take me off her scent, but I see it and I will take the SCW World Championship, just like I took the flame. Just like I took out the Judas…and I will force him out into the open…Kennedy can’t stop that. No matter how good of a minion she is. No matter how much of a changed person she is. She may not be as vain, but she can’t stop the Wonderland from taking over…No…nothing will stop that. I can’t let anything stop it!”

Jessica: “Alright…”

Giovanni: “Trust me…Kennedy is very dangerous. I understand it. But I will walk out World Champion at Rise to Greatness XV. An important night for the Lizard King. And I will be watching, very closely…later tonight!”

The camera focuses on Giovanni’s face as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Alexis Quinne walking through the backstage area and we see Hana Ito going over to her.

Hana: “Alexis. Can I get a quick word?”

Quinne turns and grabs the microphone and turns to Hana.

Quinne: “The only thing that matters is that AJ Helms just found out that I don’t forget when people set me up to get taken out, like he did with Xander Valentine, running like the bitch that he is. He could’ve had one of the biggest wins of his career. Now he just crashed and burned and I plan to make him feel that again. He wants to side with his mother and take on her attitude, I’ll show him that he can deal with the heat that comes from pissing me off!”

Quinne turns and walks off as Hana Ito watches her leave. The crowd roars as we then cut to ringside.

We open up to see Sharper and Knots at the announce table.

Knots: “Wow.”

Sharper: “Not forgetting that AJ Helms happily let Xander Valentine have open season on her a couple of weeks ago, attacking her and leading to the match we saw last week. Alexis didn’t forget that AJ Helms did that and make him pay for it tonight.”

Knots: “Yeah and AJ had Selena where he wanted. Regan had that too. AJ Helms came out looking damn good, but Quinne took that out and he was driven face first right in front of us.”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, someone else who is getting something that they deserve, we’re here to announce the first member of the SCW Hall of Fame, Class of 2018.”

Knots: “That’s a segue if I heard one!”

Sharper: “Let’s take a look at the deserving inductee and if you ask me…it’s the perfect first pick.”

The SCW Hall of Fame logo comes up on the screen.

The scene opens up with a white screen before showing Kelcey Wallace walking out from the back.

Kelcey: “Well I hear of Queens, Goddesses, Swans, Big Girls, Modern Day Gods, Best Women’s Wrestlers in the World, the Glorious Bastards, Satan Himself, Hob-Goblins, Catalysts, Last Shadows of Hope…never Perfection…”

“Exodus” plays in the background as we see a shot of Kelcey Wallace walking to the ring with Shawn Mason and El Cuchillo, before cutting to a shot of her walking with Chris Cannon. We then see her attacking Rachel Tatum Lee in the Tactical Warfare before showing her hitting a neckbreaker/Argentine Backbreaker combo with Blake Mason on Rachel Lee. This is followed by a shot of a DDT on Blitzkrieg before showing her hitting the Perfect Fate on Blitzkrieg and the crowd cheering as she rolls off of him. She is shown holding the SCW World Championship, with Shawn Mason and El Cuchillo.

Sharper: “We have a Perfect Champion!”

This is followed by shots of Kelcey Wallace fighting Ravyn Taylor, Kennedy Street, Shaun Cruze and Selena Frost. We see a shot of Kelcey smiling as she walks to the back before showing a shot of Kelcey Wallace celebrating with Shaun Cruze and holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship and then cutting to show Kelcey Wallace eliminating Regan Street and Syren simultaneously in the 2014 Taking Hold of the Flame before showing her eliminating Ravyn Taylor.

Sharper: “And she did it! From number ten to victorious!”

We then cut to shots of her facing Blake Mason or Bree Lancaster, before showing her standing with Trinity Street and Lucas Knight. We see Kelcey Wallace holding the World Championship with Selena Frost holding her arm before cutting to show Kelcey Wallace looking around at Rise to Greatness 2017, and finally showing her hitting the Perfect Ending on Blake Mason and covering him. Kelcey is then shown having her arm raised before showing several people in the ring, standing with her.

Kelcey: “Remember that every single one of you can reach Perfection, it is that moment that you can smile at your life and know that you made it!”

The Hall of Fame logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Kelcey Wallace in front of it. We then see “inducted by Shaun Cruze” and a picture of Shaun Cruze in the bottom corner.

“Hall of Fame” by The Script plays as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “And we are pleased to announce that Kelcey Wallace is the first of many names to be announced in the coming weeks as we announce the Class of 2018, SCW Hall of Fame.”

Knots: “Getting a bit more perfect. Not quite flawless, but perfect’s not bad! The original Perfect Ten, Kelcey Wallace!”

Sharper: “Definitely deserving and we look forward to who else will join her in this year’s class. But Kelcey Wallace will be inducted by her close friend, Shaun Cruze, who will return to induct her. Should be a heck of a moment.”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments. We then hear “The Memory Remains” by Metallica start to play throughout the arena. The crowd’s cheers turn into a mixed reaction as we then see Blake Mason walk out from the back, wearing a suit.

Sharper: “Blake Mason will obviously interested in Kelcey’s induction. Had her last match.”

Knots: “And still some relationship there. Bree’s not happy about it, so keep going. Keep pretending there’s hope there Blake! Even though she’s married and happily.”

Sharper: “One interesting wrinkle could be that Chris Cannon may be ready to return to the ring, but Blake has other ghosts from his past to deal with and one is Owen Cruze who he will face at Rise to Greatness XV in two and a half weeks!”

Blake Mason walks down to the ring and over to the steel steps. He walks up the steps and along the apron before entering the ring. He looks around and the crowd continues to give him the mixed reaction. He soaks it in for a few moments before going over to the corner and asking for a microphone. Phillips hands him one and Blake takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring. He stops again and waits for his music to fade out as he looks around.

Blake: “First off, allow me to say one thing about the wonderful woman who is being inducted into the Hall of Fame. You deserve it and I can’t wait to be in that crowd to cheer you one when you take your place in the annals of SCW history.”

The crowd cheers a bit as Blake looks around.

Blake: “One day I hope to maybe be standing there, but there’s a long way to go until that happens. And I’m not just talking about in the ring, but out of it. There’s a lot of soulsearching and a lot of reparations I need to do to make it clear that I’m even possible to see myself as a hall of fame worthy person, nevermind getting the attention from SCW to agree. A lot of people feel I could have been the World Champion, but as the last two years proved, I wasn’t ready for that. And even one year ago, I went to another promotion and I took Owen Cruze and piledrove him and just because I could. Any rationale is unnecessary. It’s an excuse. I tried to take out a kid before his career even got started.”

Blake pauses as he looks around.

Blake: “A year later, that kid not only went over an hour in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal but he slapped the taste out of my mouth so hard I still feel it today.”

The crowd cheers. Blake looks up.

Blake: “And I deserved it.”

Blake pauses as the crowd cheers.

Blake: “Cheer for it. I deserved it. And I deserve the ass-kicking I’m about to get at Rise to Greatness, but as Thirteen found out a couple of weeks ago, I may deserve an ass-kicking, but I’m not rolling over for one. Owen…this is the biggest match of your career. This is the night you take all that momentum from Taking Hold of the Flame and show that you’re one of the next big things in this sport.”

The crowd cheers as Blake looks around.

Blake: “And Owen-“

Just then, the lights dim and flicker, as a voice booms throughout the arena.

“All I ever wanted was to leave a legacy. Something with which I would be remembered”

Steven Cooper’s “Born to Do” kicks in and Owen Cruze steps out on the stage. He then starts to walk down to the ring. Blake stops and watches him.

Sharper: “Looks like Owen wants to hear this in person.”

Knots: “Not bad. The kid clearly not going to stay in the back and wait. He wants this and he wants to hear this from Blake!”

Owen Cruze walks over to the ring and walks around it. He heads over to Jason Phillips, motioning for a microphone. He’s handed the microphone and Owen turns to the steel steps. He walks up them.

Owen: “You’re not gonna keep talking about all of this. I wanna hear this first hand.”

Owen then walks over to the apron and steps into the ring. He walks right up to Blake.

Blake: “Happily, Owen.”

The crowd roars as the crowd sees the two of them face to face.

Blake: “See, Owen, this is your biggest match. I know it. You know it. Not just professionally, but personally. You wanted this. But Owen, you’ll have to beat me to get that closure. While you’re looking to get your revenge, get your closure, I’m looking to finally reach that potential people have said about me for years, that I should be a World Champion. That’s not helped by me losing to you. I know that as clear as everything else. So Owen, you have the match you wanted. I’m willing to give it to you. It’s really the least I could do to make everything better. I can’t do much more than that though. But I hope you’re ready because whether you like it or not, I’m not going to have a problem beating you. I have to. I have to for my career. Just like you need to for yours.”

Owen looks down.

Owen: “Well Blake, maybe I see it this way…I just need to make sure that Rise to Greatness is a night that you NEVER try what you did again. Win or lose, I can make sure that happens. But while you talk about the World Title and how you need to prove it. I need to prove to people I should be here and it’s not because I’ve got a name. And Blake, I will get my closure. One way or another.”

Blake: “I’m happy to let you try.”

Blake drops the microphone.

Owen: “I’m not here to try, Blake.”

Owen drops his microphone and the two stand across from one another as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “You can feel the tension between them!”

Knots: “Blake can try and turn the page all he wants. His past is there to haunt him! And Owen’s wearing a ghost mask and yelling boo right now!”

Sharper: “Owen is clear. The kid has found his confidence in the last month. And Blake Mason has to run headlong into it at Rise to Greatness XV in Toronto, on July 22^nd!”

Blake and Owen continue to just stare each other down, not flinching, and not turning their attention elsewhere. It continues for a few moments before we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Selena Frost, now with her hair wet, having finished showering after her match, wearing a Selena Frost t-shirt and jeans. She walks over to the office of Mr. D and knocks on the door before stepping inside. Mr. D looks up and sees her.

Mr. D: “Cooled off now?”

Selena: “Won’t be until all of this is done. Had Quinne not come out, who knows what would have happened?”

Mr. D: “Did AJ have you?”

Selena: “Not on your life.”

Mr. D: “Good. Either way, after what Regan did earlier this week, last week, even just Quinne getting involved…Too many rivals, too many allies, too many everything.”

Selena: “And I don’t want any excuses. If I lose, it’s because she beats me. If I beat her, I want her to know I’m better.”

Mr. D: “My thinking too. It’s why I’m going to make it easy for me in that ring. I’m just calling pinfalls and submissions. Whoever gets them. No holds barred…no countouts. We’re settling this. This is the last time you two face. The only regret I’m willing to deal with…revolves around who I call the fall on.”

Selena: “Works for me…and believe me…you won’t be calling Regan the winner.”

Mr. D: “I hope not.”

Selena turns and walks off as we then cut away.

Kordy in action

Lights go out and unravel hits a single dim spot light moves to the entrance and shines down on Kordelia Amida. She wears a long black veil that almost completely covers her. She slowly walks to the ring ignoring the fans.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a ten minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, Kordelia Amida! Her opponent, from Miami, Florida, is Rhianna Richards!”

We see the competitor in the ring, waving her hand as she throws her arms up. The crowd cheers a bit. Kordelia, meanwhile, calmly walks up the ring stairs and then steps under the middle rope she then slowly pulls the veil off her to reveal her face her eyes rolling back in her head. The crowd boos a bit.

Sharper: “Kordy returned at Taking Hold of the Flame in a completely new frame of mind. She was impressive, but returned to Breakdown last week when she assaulted Konrad Raab.”

Knots: “Saw some of the after-effects earlier tonight in the TV Title eliminator. Hope that Richards here is ready.”

Sharper: “A rising star locally. Big opportunity, but can she get past Kordelia Amida. She’s no longer Kordy.”

The bell sounds and Rihanna Richards runs at Kordelia and nails her with a hard right and then another and another. Kordelia falls to the mat. She slowly gets up and Rihanna grabs her and hits a gutwrench suplex. Kordelia just hits the mat. She remains down as Richard jumps up and hits a senton backsplash to the body of Kordelia, She goes for the pin.

Kordelia kicks out. Rihanna Richards looks around before grabbing Kordy and starting to lift her up and Kordelia Amida suddenly grabs her by the throat. Richard staggers back and Kordy pushes her into the corner and just starts to choke her.

Kordelia turns away and glares at the official. The official backs up, reprimanding her still as Richards coughs in the corner.

Sharper: “Just blatantly choking Rihanna Richards.”

Knots: “And just think, she’s so focused or warped or who knows what that the referee is telling her to stop by backing off in fear!”

Kordelia turns back as Rihanna Richards kicks her in the face. She climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and dives off with a crossbody. She goes for the pin.

Kordelia kicks out. Both women get up and Richards goes for a hard right, but Kordelia blocks it and then nails her in the ribs with a hard left before kicking her in the ribs and nailing her in the throat with a hard right. Richards hits the mat and rolls over and Kordelia pulls back on Richards’ head and hits a reverse DDT. She rolls over and looks down at her before slowly pulling her up.

Sharper: “Hard DDT, but Kordelia not done.”

Knots: “That was to daze her. This is to take her out!”

Kordelia Amida pulls Richards up and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Kordelia catches her, hoisting her up and spinning her down with the Black Mass. The crowd ohs as they just look on and some cheer. Kordelia gets up and looks down at Rihanna Richards before grabbing her by the hair and dragging her to her feet. She then looks at her with her soulless eyes before grabbing her by the arm, pulling her in and pushing her out and pulling her back in with the Shisha no uta. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “That throat spike again!”

Knots: “That’s it. She’s done. Thanks for coming out.”

Kordelia calmly goes for the lateral press.

The crowd boos as Kordelia Amida slowly gets up to her feet. The referee goes to raise her arm, but she just glares at him. The referee backs up as Kordelia looks around the arena.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Kordelia Amida!”

Sharper: “Kordelia just overwhelming Rihanna Richards here.”

Knots: “This isn’t the Kordy from before. She’s methodical. She’s actually focused.”

Sharper: “And dangerous for anyone in her way!”

Kordelia remains in the middle of the ring, scanning the arena. The spotlight returns to her, being the only main light in the arena. A few moments pass before we then cut away.

We open up backstage to see AJ Helms in the trainer’s room, a bag of ice on his head. He leans forward, clearly annoyed and in pain before we hear the door open and AJ looks up. He then hops down. Jason Helms steps forward, his hand out.

Jason: “Relax kid. I’m not here to pile on, at least that way…just curious if it was all worth it.”

AJ: “What?”

Jason: “The attitude…the headache…Looks like you just found out what it’s like to follow your mother’s way of thinking. And I’m going to have fun watching you maybe grow up now. Funny that it comes at that Pint-Sized whatever the hell’s hands.”

AJ lunges and Jason swats him away. AJ backs up.

Jason: “By the way, thanks for the congratulations…oh wait…”

Jason backs off and walks off as AJ looks at him and turns and throws the ice down violently to the floor as we then cut away.

Marie Jones is seen walking down the hallway and with purpose as she heads over to the office of Mr. D. She knocks on the door and steps inside as Mr. D looks up.

Mr. D: “Marie. Nice to see you-“

Marie: “I want Josh added to the match.”

Mr. D pauses a moment.

Marie: “I know I can beat Christy. I know I can beat Josh. And I know that after Rise to Greatness, I will earn everything I want. I started this year in World Title contention. I plan to return there. And if I have to go through former champions, Adrenaline Champions, anyone…I’m going to. And you know what, he wants in there, after what happened with Dylan and Andrew, let him in. I’ll beat both of them.”

The crowd cheers a bit hearing this. Mr. D nods.

Mr. D: “I can get behind that. Done.”

Marie: “Good…thank you.”

Marie smiles as she leaves the room. Mr. D returns to what he was doing.

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

Sharper: “Beard joining us and I’m not really sure why?”

Knots: “So it’s like usual!”

Sharper: “Hey now.”

Beard walks over and asks for the microphone. Phillips looks at him before Beard motions again. Phillips hands him one and Beard takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring, looking at the stage.

Beard: “Chad! I know you’re here!”

The crowd roars.

Beard: “You come out last week and say how you didn’t want the fun, didn’t want Ikiro to be happy? The hell is wrong with you, man? I mean that’s some stupid, weaksauce. And you’re coming out here talking about how you have the right to decide that, acting all Godlike. You’re nothing like a God. You’re just some weak angry man who is running around, pissed that Lexi ran off and now you’re here by yourself tryin’ to make every miserable. Nuh-uh. Not going to let that happen! Not going to let you keep knocking my friend down. And he’s not been the same in the last month and I was just trying to make him happen. Trying to do something nice. I know, you can’t figure that out because you’re so much of a miserable piece of crap that you gotta be a piece of crap! So you know what, I want to just make him happy by kicking your ass!”

Beard looks around.

Beard: “That’s right! I want to kick God’s ass! And trust me, I’ve seen God and it aint you. I didn’t see your ugly ass face when I was [bleep] deep in Gen and bro, that’s something you know nothing about, so-“

The lights go out. The crowd roars. A few moments pass.

Knots: “So is that God? Can he just shut this guy up?!”

Sharper: “I don’t know.”

A few more moments pass as we see cell phone lights come on and several flashes towards the ring before the lights return and we see Chad Evans actually walking halfway down the ring. Beard turns around him, expecting to be attacked, but Evans just walks to the ring and rolls his eyes as Beard turns and just throws his arms up.

Knots: “Guess God took too long.”

Sharper: “I don’t get this…”

Beard: “What? Can’t even be assed to try and kick my ass before I kick yours! Just low, man. Low!”

Beard then throws the microphone down as Chad rolls into the ring. He gets up and Beard then looks at him before lunging at him, but Chad suddenly ducks a clothesline. He then kicks him in the ribs and then again and again and again, causing Beard to fall into the corner.

Sharper: “Chad getting into action. He may not have wanted to come to the ring, but he’s clearly not in the mood to deal with Beard calling him out.”

Knots: “And he’s beating the hell out of him!”

Chad then kicks him over and over. Beard slides down to a seated position before starting to choke him with his boot. He pulls on the ropes for leverage as Beard struggles to breath. A few moments pass as Beard kicks at the mat. Chad then pulls away and walks around the ring. Just then, we see Ikiro Yoshida run out from the back.

Sharper: “It’s Ikiro Yoshida! He’s here!”

Knots: “And Chad’s not running!”

The crowd cheers as Ikiro runs down. Chad backs up and smirks before Ikiro Yoshida runs down to the ring. He then slides into the ring and Chad just waits for him and goes for a kick to the ribs, but Yoshida catches it. He then looks at Chad, no smile on his face, but just complete anger. He then pulls him in and lifts Chad up and runs him hard into the corner with a spear. The crowd ohs and Ikiro lifts him up and throws him down. Chad rolls over and starts to get up and Ikiro lunges and drills him with the KARAOKE kick, without the windup.

Sharper: “Ikiro with a kick, the KARAOKE kick!”

Knots: “No wind up. No spelling out Karaoke. Just all kick!”

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida, not smiling, not messing around. Coming out to help Beard.”

Chad rolls over and rolls to the floor. Ikiro Yoshida just looks at him as Beard grabs at the ropes and struggles to pull himself up. Ikiro Yoshida looks at Beard as Beard falls over. Ikiro just looks at him and then turns to Chad as Chad slowly gets up, holding his face. He backs up as Ikiro then looks down and backs up before turning to Beard. Beard smiles and walks over and raises Ikiro’s arm. Ikiro just turns to Chad, ignoring Beard’s antics. Beard just yells at Chad as Chad looks into the ring, holding his jaw. We then cut away.

We open up to see James Evans backstage with Katelyn Buehler. Buehler can be seen pacing.

Buehler: “I just want to go for him. I want to go for him, get his neck....why would he say that last week?”

James: “Because he’s a jackass. But you know you need to wait. Have your talked to the kids?”

Buehler: “Not yet…I’m just hoping to avoid it.”

James: “You can’t. They’ll know. They want to watch. You need to be honest with them.”

Buehler: “And then what? They see two of their daddy’s fighting?!”

James: “You’ve fought through a lot. I will be right there too to help. However I can. But you need to be honest with them.”

Katelyn sighs. She then stops and turns to James.

Katelyn: “It’ll be a lot easier if I can get some of the frustrated out on Ace.”

James: “And at Rise to Greatness you can. And on Cassidy too. Let Kennedy have her match. She’s wanted this a while too.”

Katelyn: “Well if they try something, I’m heading to the ring. You can choose to stop me or not.”

James: “If they try something, we’ll make sure they don’t get it and Kennedy has her match.”

Katelyn just nods and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Ikiro Yoshida walking backstage. We then see Beard run up behind him.

Beard: “Yo man, thanks for bailing me out. But I totally had him. He thought he lulled me, but I had him.”

Ikiro: “I know…but I needed to make him think.”

Beard: “I think this means some celebrating. Something good happened for you. Come on…an impromptu Karaoke. Guess the song and sing along!”

Beard then pulls a green kazoo from his pocket. He then starts to kazoo a song that sounds something like “Sandstorm” by Darude. He plays a few bars before Ikiro turns and stops him.

Ikiro: “Beard…I appreciate it. But not now. EyeYoshi not looking for smile. Looking for statement.”

Ikiro then turns and walks off as Beard watches him leave before then blowing on the kazoo before we cut to the ring.

Katie Steward vs. Autumn Valentine

SCW Television Championship

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

The lights in the arena dim down darkening the area and “Mercy on Me (Instrumental)” starts to play. A spotlight shines down onto the stage for Katie Steward to step out from behind the curtain and stands in the light. She wears her white ring robe with a pink outline around the white cloth and gold sequences sparkled over it. She grabs the sides of her robe holding it out and spins around slowly showing off to the fans who snap photos and videos of her. After a few seconds on the posing on the stage she turns back around and continues her walk down the ramp and the spotlight follows. Inside the ring, TJ Johnson is already there and has helped himself to the ring announcer’s microphone.

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

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

Sharper: “Katie Steward about to challenge for one of the few titles she has never held in her time in SCW. The TV Title.”

Knots: “Yeah, but this is something she wants. Last week Crissy Gardner and Sam Raine may have gotten involved, but she’s ready for this week. She wants to hold some gold!”

The lights dim slightly and the spotlights point down at the stage as the fans quieten in expectation. A woman whispering can be heard across the PA system.

“Don’t bless me father, for I have sinned...”

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless begins playing across the PA system as the fans boo. After a few seconds Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage with a smile on her face, standing in the middle of the spotlights for a moment before spinning around and holding out her arms downward. She has the SCW Television Championship around her waist.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. Now, accompanied by Ryan Watson, from Anaheim, California, she is the SCW Television Champion, she is Autumn Valentine!”

Autumn spins back around, seemingly enjoying the crowd reaction. She stands for a moment before looking back over her shoulder. The fans get louder as she’s joined on the stage by Ryan Watson. Watson holds her hand as the two of them head to the ring. Once at ringside Autumn jumps up on the ring entrance as Ryan pulls himself up using the bottom rope. He then stands and holds down the middle rope for her to enter. The fans continue to give a mixed reaction as Autumn now ascends the ropes in the corner, standing on the middle rope once again soaking in their reaction. She flips back out of the corner, spinning around and landing on her feet. She then removes her jacket, handing it to Ryan who remains on the apron. Ryan jumps down, holding onto her jacket as Autumn walks to the corner, sitting down in the corner and talking with her manager at ringside as he stands outside the ring. The referee is handed the SCW Television Championship. He takes it and holds it over his head as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. He hands it off to Phillips.

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine looking to make her first defense against one of the most decorated people in SCW history.”

Knots: “Come on Katie. This is your night!”

The bell sounds as Katie looks at Autumn. Ryan watches Autumn as TJ cheers Katie on. Katie and Autumn walk around the ring and Autumn lunges at Katie. Katie backs up to the corner. Autumn moves in after and pushes her back. The crowd boos as the referee calls for the break.

She grabs Autumn and whips her across the ring. Katie runs after. Autumn jumps up and floats over and behind Katie. Katie stops at the corner. She turns back and goes for a clothesline. Autumn ducks and jumps to the middle turnbuckle and dives back with a back elbow. Katie falls back and rolls through as the crowd roars. Autumn rolls over and looks at her as Katie starts to get up to her feet.

Sharper: “Katie caught as Autumn using her quickness. Off the middle rope. Back elbow!”

Knots: “That’s fine. Katie’s just taking a breather!”

Sharper: “For now. But Autumn isn’t one to let her rest.”

Autumn gets up as Katie turns and watches her as Autumn runs at her and shoulders her into the corner. Autumn rears back and shoulders her again. She then forearms her in the jaw. She grabs her and pulls her into the middle of the ropes and fires her across. Katie bounces off and Autumn hits a leg lariat. She hits the mat. Autumn goes for the pin.

Autumn winces and Katie looks at her and hits a dropkick, knocking Autumn onto the apron and to the floor. Katie rolls over. (1)

Sharper: “Katie got the dropkick. Autumn with a hard spill to the floor.”

Knots: “But that’s not how she’ll win the title.”

COMMERCIALS

Kennedy Street vs. Ace Marshall

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy takes off her entrance attire, leaving it on the stage as she stands in her gear, with the SCW World Championship around her waist.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for TV time remaining, and is your main event of the evening! First, on her way to the ring, from Beverly Hills, California, she is the SCW World Champion, Kennedy Street!”

Kennedy cracks a smirk and she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers as she makes her way to the ring. She reaches the ring and, arriving at the apron, crawls in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while holding up the SCW World Championship. Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner. She places the World Title in the corner and starts to stretch, getting ready for the match.

Sharper: “Main event time. Kennedy Street and Ace Marshall were at one point a couple. That was years ago. A lot has changed.”

Knots: “And both have been accused of being a Lizard King or affiliated with him. And trust me, she wants nothing to do with Ace and look at Kennedy. Nothing scaly about her!”

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries making some unique accusations. You wonder if this match will convince him.”

Kennedy keeps getting ready when suddenly we see what appears to be a man dressed in a lizard costume walking out from the back. The crowd roars as Kennedy steps forward and looks confused as the lizard-costumed man, who also has a suit on, walks to the ring. He looks around, turning one way and then the other before holding out an envelope to Kennedy. Kennedy looks a bit confused before she looks at him. The lizardman shakes the envelope before yelling out “Your orders! Your orders!” Kennedy rolls her eyes.

Sharper: “What in the world…he’s yelling out orders.”

Knots: “Why do I think Ace Marshall may be in that suit?”

Just then, we see Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter walk out from the back. Ace has a microphone in his hand.

Ace: “Kennedy…come on. Take on your orders. We have important lizardy vengeance and world takeovers and whatever the hell the Lizard King wants. Come on!”

Kennedy just looks at Ace and sighs before backing up and motioning to him to get to the ring. Ace and Cassidy slowly walk to the ring.

Ace: “We all know this was a rouse. Let’s just cut it. We both know that the Lizard King wants Giovanni taken out so just do it. Come on!”

Kennedy then rolls her eyes before turning and diving at the ropes, hitting a dropkick to its face, knocking him back. Kennedy then rolls over and gets up. Ace just looks stunned, playing it up.

Ace: “He’s not going to be happy at all. In fact, Keenie….maybe it’s best I go get him.”

Cassidy grabs the microphone.

Cassidy: “He is here. Got him a sweet new aquarium and everything!”

Ace: “Especially since you’re clearly unhappy with us just removing the façade. This will let you cool down. But that’s fine, Kennedy. Just keep fuming. Giovanni Aries I’m sure is watching. Just don’t do anything to draw attention. We’ll go get your Lizard King!”

Ace and Cassidy turn to head back before the crowd roars as we see James Evans and Katelyn Buehler at the top of the stage.

Sharper: “Ace and Cassidy I think were hoping to have some fun, but Katelyn Buehler and James Evans. After last week, they want their hands on Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter.”

Knots: “Ace and Cassidy crossed a line last week! They’re not returning to the back this time!”

James and Katelyn start to head to the ring and Cassidy backs up as Ace does too and Ace looks around before Kennedy rolls to the floor and grabs Ace and spins him around into the ring. Cassidy turns and goes to nail her as Kennedy rolls back in. She misses and spins around and backs up as James Evans and Katelyn Buehler then both start to run after her. Ace gets up as the bell sounds and Kennedy nails Ace with a hard forearm and then another and another. Ace falls back into the corner. Kennedy then hits a shoot kick to the ribs and then another and another as Katelyn and James chase Cassidy around. She hops over the steel steps and then runs up the rampway to the back. James and Katelyn run after her as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Katelyn and James running Cassidy off. Ace Marshall now getting assault by Kennedy Street in the ring.”

Knots: “And she’s wanted to kick his ass for years!”

Kennedy then grabs Ace and pulls him out by the hair and hits a running facebuster out of the corner. Ace rolls over. Kennedy turns and mounts him and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another. She gets up and looks around. Kennedy looks at the crowd as they cheer. She turns around and grabs Ace and Ace then reaches up and thumbs her in the eye. The crowd boos and Kennedy staggers back and Ace then knees her in the ribs and then again before double underhooking her up. He hoists her up and hits a double underhook backbreaker and then crowd ohs and Kennedy rolls over, arching her back in pain. Ace drops down to a knee as he takes a moment and looks around, noticing Cassidy is gone.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall dropping Kennedy hard across his knee. Now realizing Cassidy Carter not here. He’s out here alone.”

Knots: “Better for Kennedy. Cassidy’s getting the hell out of here and you’ll have to deal with Kennedy yourself!”

Ace then turns as Kennedy starts to get up and Ace runs over and clotheslines her down. He then walks around before turning and seeing the man in the lizard suit coming to. He smirks and drops down to the floor. Kennedy starts to get up and Ace grabs the lizard head and grabs it. The man tries to hold onto it and Ace turns and knees him in the ribs. He pulls it off, revealing the man’s head. He then grabs it and rolls into the ring, pulling it under the ropes. He then places it on his head as the crowd roars and Kennedy gets up. Ace turns around and starts to point to Kennedy as Kennedy then jumps up and dropkicks him down. He hits the mat and rolls over as the crowd roars. Ace holds onto the head.

Sharper: “What in the hell is Ace doing?”

Knots: “Being an idiot!”

Sharper: “He’s got the lizard head from that man who clearly he paid off to do this and he’s clearly trying to set off Giovanni Aries to go after Kennedy!”

Knots: “Kennedy’s just kicking his ass for his troubles!”

Ace gets up and we hear a roar from the Miami crowd as we see Giovanni Aries running out from the back and along the side of the rampway before running down to the ring. He slides in as Kennedy backs up. The referee tells him to leave. Ace sees Giovanni and promptly rolls through the ropes and to the floor. He backs up to the rampway and then waves off the ring. He starts to head to the back as the referee starts to count. Giovanni Aries just watches Ace as Kennedy watches Ace and then Giovanni, going back and forth between the two with her eyes.

10!

Ace just disappears to the back as the crowd boos and the bell sounds.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall has been counted out. The referee focusing on Ace getting out of there.”

Knots: “Running. Not going to mess with Giovanni! Kennedy is standing her ground!”

Giovanni then turns to Kennedy. Giovanni looks at Kennedy before turning and looking at the now headless lizard person on the floor and then back to Kennedy. Giovanni then looks at the official and turns to Kennedy. He says something to her as the crowd looks on. Kennedy looks off into the distance, almost in disbelief before suddenly hitting the Touch of Class on Giovanni Aries. The crowd ohs and Aries drops to the mat. Kennedy just throws her arms up. Kennedy shakes her head and turns back to the corner.

Sharper: “Oh! Touch of Class! I don’t know if Giovanni said something or Kennedy just had it.”

Knots: “Doesn’t matter. Maybe it’ll give him a hint!”

Kennedy then grabs her World Championship. She looks at Giovanni Aries and shakes her head before stepping through the ropes. She looks out to the crowd and holds the title over her head.

Knots: “Either way, that’s your champion and she just told Giovanni Aries what awaits him if he keeps thinking she’s with the Lizard King or whatever the hell?!”

Sharper: “Got all of that kick. Kennedy holding up the title. She plans to do that in Toronto in victory against Giovanni Aries at Rise to Greatness XV. We’re two and half weeks away. What else will happen?!”

The camera focuses on Kennedy as we then slowly fade to black…
