Breakdown - June 14, 2017

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Buffalo as SCW starts to travel on the Road to Rise to Greatness! Adam Sharper here with Shawn Winters and we know who will be going to the main event. Your 2017 Taking Hold of the Flame winner is Ace Marshall.”

Winters: “And it looks like he could take on Kelcey Wallace. But a lot of controversy coming out of Taking Hold of the Flame. Cassidy Carter getting involved at the end, helping eliminate Selena Frost. A lot of attacks and interference. We saw Jay Gold attempt to return and he was assaulted backstage.”

Sharper: “We’ll have more on Taking Hold of the Flame as the night continues. Meanwhile tonight, Blake Mason returns to active competition. Donovan Kayl is waiting and they’ll meet in our main event.”

Winters: “Vixen Cain and Katie Steward will also clash. We’re not sure why. Something is up here though.”

Sharper: “And the TV Championship will be a focal point. Sienna Swann will defend, but against who? Six individuals will compete. The order of elimination determines priority, but the first eliminated takes on Swann right after that match.”

“Exodus” by Ernest Gold and Henry Mancini starts to play and the crowd roars.

Sharper: “And we’re going to kick things off with the SCW World Champion, Kelcey Wallace!”

We then see Kelcey Wallace walk out from the back with the SCW World Championship over her shoulder. She looks around before starting to make her way down the rampway to the ring. The crowd continues to cheer her.

TAKING HOLD OF THE FLAME – June 4, 2017

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen. We see a still of Bree Lancaster and Kelcey Wallace looking at one another. We then see a still of Kelcey hitting the Pretty Girl Drop. This is followed by a shot of Bree hitting Kelcey with a high angle back suplex.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace had a war with Bree Lancaster at Taking Hold of the Flame. A personal contest and they went back and forth. Bree Lancaster eventually would try to go for the leg.”

Winters: “And got some good damage done, but Kelcey was able to fight through. They scrapped. They both wanted to leave as Champion.”

Sharper: “Kelcey would catch Bree, drive her into the mat and then the Perfect Ending, that spelled the end of the match and Bree’s title hopes. Kelcey Wallace retained at Taking Hold of the Flame! The Perfect Reign continues!”

Kelcey hitting a powerbomb follows before we see a still of Bree hitting a twisting cutter. This is followed by seeing Bree going for the leg of Kelcey. This is followed by a still of Kelcey hitting the Another Day of Paradise to Bree, knocking her off the apron and into the announce table. This is followed by a shot of Bree hitting the BOGO. We then see Kelcey hitting the Perfect Ending and then showing Kelcey Wallace holding her title up at the end. The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes back up.

We return to a live shot to see Kelcey Wallace now in the ring, holding a microphone. He then looks around as she straightens out the SCW World Championship as the music fades out.

Kelcey: “At Taking Hold of the Flame, Bree Lancaster gave it a strong attempt, but as I have said time and time again, she is not better than me and Perfection continued to reign.”

The crowd cheers as Kelcey looks around.

Kelcey: “She was not going to find a way to beat me. She was not going to have any chance, even if she used her guards to get the job done. I was not going to let her because this is what I have waited too long to accomplish. The path that I am on….Rise to Perfection is not some gimmick. It’s not something that I say to sell t-shirts…it’s how I personally drive and motivate myself every day and this….the SCW World Championship…is all part of it.”

Kelcey holds up the World Championship as the crowd cheers. She brings it back down across her shoulder.

Kelcey: “Therefore, I am now one step closer to returning to the main event of Rise to Greatness and this time as the SCW World Championship. A lot can happen until then. Six and a half weeks until that night. And what awaits at the end is the winner of the 2017 Taking Hold of the Flame battler royal, Ace Marshall.”

The crowd cheers some more.

Kelcey: “I’m a bit mixed as I was hoping to be standing across from Selena Frost and Selena, you nearly did it. But Ace Marshall had an Ace in the hole in Cassidy Carter. And you know Ace, a year ago, you were holding this title. You were the one everyone was gunning for, myself included and frankly, I saw you as a joke. Now a year later, not only are you clearly showing what you’re capable of, but you’ve made one big turn and that was you’ve finally shown how much you’re willing to do to get there. You’ll let Cassidy Carter get involved. You’ll make a fool of yourself. But if it all leads to this….it may be worth. I remember when I once thought something similar….the doing anything and Ace, you’re going to need to try harder that just having Cassidy Carter waiting for her perfect moment, pun very much intended, to have a chance against me.”

Kelcey looks right at the camera. The crowd cheers. Kelcey steps back a bit.

Kelcey: “Plus Ace, you’re actually a couple months too late. I’d have said you’d have had the edge a couple of month ago if we had met up in this ring, but I’m done with the redemption tour. I’m done with the rise back to the top. I’m not only there, but I have my hands on what all of this is about. It’s not about Perfection. It’s not about Taking Hold of the Flame. It’s not just even about Rise to Greatness. It’s about the SCW World Championship and Ace, you’ve held it. Great. The difference is I’m holding it. I’ve waited too long to hold it again and just like Bree Lancaster found out, I’m not letting go of it unless you can knock me out and pull it from my hands-“

A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans erupt in cheers as at the top of the stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side. Kelcey stops and looks at the entrance way, watching Cassidy and Ace walking down the rampway. Ace Marshall walks over to the steel steps. He walks up them and Cassidy just lets out a stern cough. Ace reaches back and Cassidy grabs his arm and jogs up too. They enter the ring and Cassidy and Ace look at Kelcey. Kelcey watches them. Ace then walks across the ring as Kelcey keeps watching Cassidy, clearly not trusting her. Ace is handed a microphone. He takes and walks back across.

Winters: “That look from Kelcey and Cassidy…”

Sharper: “The 2017 Taking Hold of the Flame winner, Ace Marshall, right now, on pace to take on Kelcey Wallace at Rise to Greatness.”

Ace walks back over to Cassidy as the crowd roars and an “Ace” chant begins to break out.

Kelcey: “Welcome Ace…I was wondering how long it would be until you made it out here.”

Ace: “Well I was debating that I was going to sit back there as you talked about all this Perfection business and how you now respect me and blah, blah, blah, but I figured I’d just come out here and point out that we can just cut the crap.”

The crowd roars a bit. Kelcey just nods.

Ace: “You don’t respect me. A year ago, I remember when you were coming out here and talking about how much of a joke it was that I was World Champion and that James Evans, which to be fair, you were right, he shouldn’t have been anywhere near humanity at that point…but either way, you ran your mouth. And the only difference is that well, let’s face it, I’ll admit, you probably aren’t going to be powerbombing me and trying to murder me in front of the world at Rise to Greatness. You don’t quite have the Perfect arms for that, but I do you you’ll lose your Perfect Mind if you have to look up after Rise to Greatness and see me holding the World Championship.”

The crowd roars. A mixed reaction comes from the crowd a bit as Kelcey just looks down and nods.

Ace: “And I already ruined the perfect main event…”

Ace snaps his fingers.

Ace: “I seem to always show up where I shouldn’t be.”

Kelcey: “You would be right there. But Ace, a lot changes in a year. I’ll own up to it. Last year, I did think you were a joke, coming out here, running around with Kennedy Street and making a mockery of the World Title all while you were rising to the top. Now, I wouldn’t call either of you a joke. Kennedy Street is going to be one of the biggest threats to the World Champion as this year continues and you…even with your black lace panties that you seemed to have gotten off another former Champion I have had some problems with in Ravyn Taylor…I can’t deny what you do in this ring. But I hope that that’s not all you have. Swapping pants, run-ins from Cassidy Carter, and whatever game it looked like you were playing with Ravyn. If you’re getting anything from Ravyn, I hope it’s advice as whether I like it or not, she has had my number and Ace…that may be the only way you’re going to get it done at Rise to Greatness.”

Ace nods and Cassidy and him say something.

Ace: “Why thank you. That wasn’t hard. Some perfect modesty. Too bad it may not be the two of us going at it at Rise to Greatness.”

The crowd boos a bit. Kelcey scoffs a bit.

Kelcey: “You’ve got your Trios Contract.”

Sharper: “That’s right!”

Ace: “Oh Kelcey, as fun as it would be to let you relive Rise to Greatnesses of the past where the Trios contract was an issue, I’m not talking about that. Plus, I’d probably just have to put Cassidy Carter or Ravyn Taylor in there to avoid horrible sexual related pain and I mean…this is Rise to Greatness! That’s something better left for Apocalypse!”

The crowd roars a bit as Kelcey rolls her eyes.

Ace: “I just mean that despite your great speech where you played your greatest hits about how you’re perfect and back at the top of the mountain and how you will not let go of the World Championship even if Chad Evans himself came down and struck you down, I just didn’t quite buy it. I mean, you’ve been the Perfect Ten for a long time and it’s clearly taken its toll on you. Everything you’ve been through in SCW. I mean, my liver and penis are probably moments away from falling off, but I still don’t look a day over twenty-five and Cassidy Carter is a fresh-face nineteen year old. Look at that glow!”

Cassidy smiles and poses a bit.

Ace: “But you drove yourself nuts trying to get back to this point and well, what’s Perfect about you?”

Kelcey: “You want to start down this road.”

Ace: “Happily. I mean well, it’s not your record anymore. Ravyn Taylor and your bestest buddy Selena Frost took care of that. Not your ass…Sienna’s got you beat there. Trust me, you could bounce a quarter off them and….”

Ace then shakes himself out of it.

Ace: “We need to say hi to her. Didn’t you two used to be rivals or something….Nevermind…And well, let’s face it, it’s six and half weeks to Rise to Greatness and I wouldn’t want the pressure of everything to finally hit you again and take it all away at a moment. Kind of like Selena….Oh dear….well…Hopefully you make it through. I’m looking forward to this.”

Cassidy then leans in and whispers something to Kelcey and she backs up and points to her chest.

Ace: “That’s right…it would break your perfect heart if you don’t make it. Well, I don’t want that. I want to be the one to do that because well, why not? You can respect me all you want Kelcey, but this year, the punchline is going to see me win the World Championship.”

Kelcey: “And you’re going to need better material to shake me.”

Ace smirks.

Kelcey: “Because Ace, I’ve heard the potshots before. Make your jokes. This one is going to fall flat and like the idiot who thinks that just because he can make his drunk friends laugh from time to time, it doesn’t mean when he’s in a comedy club, he won’t make an ass out of himself. But as you said, we have time. Lots of time. And one thing I know is that I won’t bend to the pressure. One thing I know is that I control my holding this title until that point and Ace, you just have to stay healthy.”

Ace then turns to Cassidy.

Ace: “She doesn’t know.”

Cassidy shakes her head no.

Kelcey: “What the hell are you talking about?”

Ace: “Well I had a bit of a rumour and that at Supreme Saturday, you’re defending your World Championship.”

Kelcey: “Do you think that bothers me? I’ll happily take anyone on and show you just how dangerous I am going to be heading into Rise to Greatness.”

Ace: “Great…I just hope that someone doesn’t get involved and screw all that up. Must be hard to be perfect.”

Kelcey: “Only if you’re not me.”

Ace smirks. He then extends his hand.

Ace: “Perhaps we should shake on it. Something tells me we’re not going to be having another friendly chat like this again.”

Kelcey just steps back.

Kelcey: “No, Ace…I’m going to have to turn down. No disrespect intended. I just don’t trust the two of you to try something. Just Ace, stop worrying about me screwing up. You dodged a lot of landmines last year and dodged some more in the battle royal. When you face me, it’s going to finally all blow up in your face.”

Kelcey backs up and steps through the ropes. Ace then mockingly makes a boom motion in front of his face. Cassidy does it as well. Ace then turns to Cassidy, bringing the microphone down but the cameras pick something up.

Ace: “Wait…you know what-“

Cassidy nudges Ace. He just laughs.

Winters: “Ace still is taking this a bit like a joke.”

Sharper: “The difference in attitude, in how they carry themselves. Kelcey Wallace, this is her life. This is her career. For Ace, it’s a big moment and he’s been at the top, but there’s always that veneer of whether he’s really taking things seriously or not.”

Winters: “Oh I think he is taking it seriously, but serious for him…it means Kelcey Wallace is going to grit her teeth and hate a lot of it. And we’re just getting started…unless Supreme Saturday?”

Sharper: “I’ve heard nothing. This could just be Ace Marshall trying to get into her head.”

Winters: “Or he did actually hear something?”

Kelcey Wallace walks around the ring, proudly holding her SCW World Championship. Ace and Cassidy continue to goof around in the ring as we then cut away.

We then open up to see a shot of Regan Street and Mikaela Street backstage. Josh Hudson is with them as well.

Hudson: “You serious?”

Regan doesn’t say anything, just looking out past both Mikaela and Hudson.

Mikaela: “Yeah…she has to apologize.”

Hudson: “For what?”

Mikaela: “For beating down D.”

Regan: “Son of a bitch deserved it. And the only person who should be apologizing is Marie Jones.”

Mikaela: “Look I-“

Regan: “She attacked my sister…I won’t let that go past. Right?”

Mikaela just nods.

Hudson: “So what are you going to do?”

Regan just looks at Hudson.

Regan: “Just focus on what you have to and I’ll focus on what I do.”

Hudson: “Fine…just don’t do anything you’ll regret.”

Regan: “You know me.”

Regan and Mikaela then walk off as the crowd boos and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and we see Lexy Chapel stalking backstage, wearing her Sherlexy Cap as she looks around. She takes a couple of over the top tip-toe steps down the hallway as the crowd cheers seeing her on the big screen.

Winters: “What in the…”

Lexy then pulls out a microphone.

Lexy: “We are almost outside of the office of Mr. D where I, Sherlexy Holmes will find out whether Kelcey Wallace is defending her Wor-“

Lexy stops and stands up, dropping her character. We then see Kelcey Wallace walking over to her. The crowd roars again.

Lexy: “Uh….hi.”

Kelcey: “Hello.”

Lexy: “I…Do you need me to leave?”

Kelcey: “Actually, no. And I should apologize. Last time we were in the same room, well….I wasn’t too nice.”

Lexy: “No, you were not.”

Kelcey just nods.

Kelcey: “So….You’re looking for answers…the same I am.”

Lexy: “Yeah, who’d have thought Ace would know…well anything.”

Kelcey: “You and me both.”

Kelcey then turns and knocks on the door to Mr. D’s office. A few moments pass before the door opens and Mr. D stands in the doorway.

Mr. D: “Ah, Kelcey…and Lexy?”

Lexy: “Greetings!”

Kelcey: “Yeah, I think you can guess why I’m here.”

Mr. D: “Come on in.”

She walks in and Mr. D closes the door. Lexy walks into the door.

Lexy: “Ow….But, the scoops!”

The scene then cuts away.

Tommy Valentine & Jake Starr vs. The Sisterhood

The arena goes dark, with just the sounds of the crowds and the flashes of the cameras. A heartbeat begins to sound throughout the arena...

THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP

The beating slowly morphs into the beeping of a hospital monitor, while the screen of the heart monitor follows the beeps on the jumbotron...

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

The beeps begin to speed up, faster and faster, before ultimately flatlining.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP...

As the ominous sound of the flatlining heartbeat echo through the arena, it's quickly interrupted by another heartbeat, but an irregular one. This one, on the screen, shows a star right in the middle of it. That beat continues, and begins to speed up as well. As it reaches an inhuman speed, the opening chord of "Sandstorm" by Darude blasts through the loud speaker, along with a blast of pyrotechnics.

With the blast, Jake Starr emerges from behind the backstage curtain. The crowd erupts, and Jake is taken aback by the energy being pumped in his direction. He pauses, and looks from side to side, cocking a smile, and an eyebrow. He slowly nods before beginning his walk toward the ring. As he walks, he pounds on his chest, points at members of the crowd, toward the ground, and toward himself, and slaps the occasional outstretched hand of some of the fans, while mouthing phrases like, "this is why I do this shit!"

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Des Moines, Iowa, he is Jake Starr!”

As he reaches the ring, he quickly ascends the steps, and enters the ring. After getting fully into the ring, he walks to the opposing corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle. He looks around at the members of the crowd all standing, and acknowledges a couple signs in the audience with smirks and more cocks of the eyebrow. After his initial scan, he beats on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd. He repeats this gesture on the remaining three turnbuckles, occasionally mouthing the words, "this will ALWAYS be MY HOUSE!"

After interacting with the fans, and completing his tour of the turnbuckles, he finally goes to the corner he initially started in, and leans back into the turnbuckle, and settles, awaiting the start of the match.

Sharper: “This should be a lot of fun. Tommy Valentine and Jake Starr about to team up here as they formally enter the tag division.”

Winters: “But they’re starting off right near the top, the Sisterhood, the former World Tag Team Champions!”

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Darkest Of Kin" by Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, hits. A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas. A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

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

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

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

Phillips: “And his partner, from Raleigh, North Carolina, this is Tommy Valentine!”

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

Sharper: “Jake Starr had a strong showing at Taking Hold of the Flame, so he’ll be nicely motivated. Tommy Valentine has been a bit quiet and this could be a chance for him to really sep out.”

Winters: “Remember what Tommy did with David Helms…and there’s another thing to discuss. We have another Helms around here.”

Sharper: “Jason Helms. We’re not sure the relation, but he is here. He humiliated Konrad Raab and then had a pretty solid showing in the battle royal too.”

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

The lights in the arena go dim. The big screen flashes to life. An image of Angelica Jones followed by one of Kayla Jones and then the word “Sisterhood” appears on the tron.

Pyro goes off and immediately following the pyro the lights come back on. Angelica Jones and her sister Kayla come running through the curtain and out onto the stage. The crowd comes alive with loud cheering for the pair of siblings who pump their fists, trying to get the crowd excited and into this! The crowd responds in kind with loud cheers.

Phillips: “And their opponents, from Boston, Massachusetts, they are Kayla Jones and Angelica Jones, the Sisterhood!”

Angelica and Kayla look into each other’s eyes, nod, and then turn and begin to make their way with a determined stride towards the ring, taking time to slap the hands of a few fans along the way.

Kayla slides into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and then she hops up onto the second turnbuckle, facing the crowd, and raising both arms up high in the air. Angelica, meanwhile, takes a sharp turn to the right and then ascends the steel steps, making her way up to the ring apron. She strolls slowly to the center before turning towards the audience. She looks out intensely at the crowd before posing with both arms raised high into the air. Angelica steps into the ring, joining her sister in the center as they await the start of the match.

Sharper: “After a few weeks where Kayla and Angelica Jones each had their own singles goals, the Sisterhood returns here tonight to dominate.”

Winters: “And say what you will. If they look good tonight, they just collectively beat two World Champions!”

Sharper: “Kayla Jones nearly was Tag Champion with Ravyn Taylor. That didn’t pan out.”

The bell sounds. Kayla starts in the ring as Angelica exits. Tommy starts off for his team. The two circle the ring and Tommy lunges and Kayla ducks down and stops behind Tommy. Tommy turns and Kayla kicks him in the ribs and then forearms him in the jaw. Tommy blocks the second time and then grabs Kayla before going for a forearm back, but Kayla ducks and stops. Tommy turns and Kayla hits a dropkick. Tommy falls back to the corner. Kayla gets up and runs over to him and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. She nails Tommy with a hard forearm and then another and another. He shoves her off. She hits the mat and rolls through.

Tommy turns and tags in Starr. Starr climbs up to the top rope. Kayla gets up and Starr dives off and hits a double axe handle smash.

Starr kicks out. Angelica rolls over. Starr starts to get up and Angelica clubs him in the back and then again before hitting a Russian leg sweep. She rolls over and gets up and climbs up to the top rope.

Sharper: “Angelica now to the top rope! Starr in a bad place.”

Winters: “And Sisterhood’s double teaming doing the damage. Angelica taking advantage. This is a bit different for Starr.”

Sharper: “He is a former World Tag Team Champion.”

Winters: “Yeah…but with Greg Cherry and let’s face it, they’ve had a love/hate relationship!”

Angelica gets to the top rope and glances back before diving back with a moonsault. Starr rolls towards the corner. Angelica lands on her feet. She spins out. Starr gets up and Angelica turns and goes for a clothesline. Starr ducks and stops and Angelica jumps up to the middle rope. She spins out for a crossbody, but Starr rolls through and pulls her up before hitting a ribbreaker. Starr dumps her down. Angelica stirs and Starr grabs her and pulls her up.

Starr waits, but Angelica suddenly jumps up and hits a dropkick. Starr falls back and rolls to the mat. The crowd roars. Angelica gets up and Tommy kicks her in the ribs and hits an implant DDT.

Sharper: “Angelica just took the head off Starr, but Tommy quickly takes advantage.”

Winters: “People wonder if there is a different form of experience from tag wrestling. Tommy just showed it. Starr got owned. Tommy focused on his opponent!”

Tommy goes for the pin.

Angelica gets her shoulder up. She rolls over. Tommy grabs her and glances back at Starr, who holds his jaw. Tommy clubs her in the back and whips her into the ropes.

Sharper: “Nearfall! Angelica with a hell of a maneuver, the double jump moonsault!”

Winters: “And good on Starr to kick out. Angelica got all of that. All of his air forced out!”

Angelica gets up and turns and Starr stirs. Angelica clubs him in the back and then again. She turns and runs into the ropes and Starr kicks her in the ribs. She turns back and Starr steps forward, but Angelica hits a back kick. Starr staggers back and Angelica goes for a springboard moonsault, but Starr steps back. Angelica lands on her feet and Starr rolls her up.

The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine!”

Angelica looks up and Kayla enters. Starr rolls out of the ring and joins Tommy. Angelica just looks down and looks at Kayla.

Winters: “A bit of a rust for Kayla and Angelica there. Not teaming for a while and Starr steals it!”

Sharper: “Angelica caught. Starr getting the win. Not how the Sisterhood would have liked to start their road to Rise to Greatness, but the Brotherhood standing tall tonight.”

Angelica and Kayla talk a bit as Angelica gets up and shakes her head. She paces a bit as Jake and Tommy have their arms raised and we cut away.

The scene opens up to see Laura Steinbeck smiling as she walks down the hallway. The crowd boos seeing her. We then see Eric Teufel heading over to her.

Eric: “Laura! Laura.”

Steinbeck stops and turns. She then turns and heads over to him.

Steinbeck: “What is it Eric?”

Eric: “Are the rumours true? Sienna Swann has a World Championship shot at Kelcey Wallace at Supreme Saturday?”

Laura just smiles.

Laura: “Yeah, she hasn’t found out yet. I haven’t been able to surprise her and you don’t know the strings I had to pull for it.”

Eric: “Well that’s great and all, but Torsten is getting antsy-“

Laura: “That would be your problem, just like I have made sure Sienna is not only happy but soon to be a triple champion. But my suggestion…when Sienna wins, then Sienna will face Ace Marshall at Rise to Greatness…and Torsten can pick up the scraps on Kelcey.”

Laura then turns and walks off. Eric watches her leave. Eric then speaks to himself after Laura disappears.

Eric: “Not exactly what we had in mind…”

Sharper: “What’s that mean?”

The crowd boos.

Winters: “But Sienna Swann has a title match!”

Sharper: “But what were the terms?!”

The scene fades to black.

EARLIER TONIGHT:

We see Sam Raine arriving into the building from a shot that looks like its from a cameraphone on the other side of the fence.

Sharper: “Earlier tonight, Sam Raine arrived here at the arena in Buffalo and a surprising visitor was waiting for her. We got this footage from a fan recording it on their phone.”

We see Sam Raine continuing to head in. The fans around the filmer cheer just on the other side of a fence before we hear a familiar voice.

???: “Hey! Sam! You may want to look over here!”

Sam turns and the camera turns to their left to show Brittany Lohan standing amongst the fans. She can be seen signing one piece of paper for one fan.

Brittany: “Don’t you want to say hi to your fans…I already signed a few, but well…”

Sam: “You got your cheap shot…leave me alone.”

Sam then turns to the fans.

Sam: “Sorry…I’ll be out after the show.”

She then turns and heads in.

Brittany: “Come on! Everyone cheer for her! Sam! Sam! Sam! Want to make sure she does come back out!”

Sam then freezes briefly before then heading into the building.

Winters: “Brittany Lohan waiting for her and after Taking Hold of the Flame…”

The camera holder turns and Brittany looks right at it.

Brittany: “We should take a picture. How do you like my t-shirt?”

We then see Brittany Lohan’s t-shirt clearly… a Sam Raine one. The video then abruptly ends as Brittany Lohan grabs the phone. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Breakdown returns as we see Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter walking backstage. Ace Marshall then stops, noticing someone. He then turns and heads over to them and we notice it to be Ravyn Taylor. Ace Marshall walks over and leans on the wall next to her.

Ace: “So…whatcha thinkin?”

Ravyn just turns to him, her eyebrows raised.

Ravyn: “Having a bit of fun out there earlier?”

Ace: “Not as much fun as at Taking Hold of the Flame. Those panties felt great down there.”

Ravyn: “I’m sure. Should we share with Cassidy? She can get you fitted and have all the fun in the world.”

Ace turns back to Cassidy who just smiles.

Ace: “Uh…let’s not give her ideas. But speaking of ideas, perhaps we can come up with another way to have some fun. So much anger and hate, I swear…Shawn Winters hasn’t been that happy in years. He even got it to half mast!”

Ravyn: “Only half…I suppose that’s good for him. A shame…I was hoping I could get three-quarters. But alas, right now, my attention is elsewhere. I just received some news.”

Ace: “You’re pregnant?”

Ravyn: “No, Ace. Just…a bit of a good fortune. And I may have more after the eliminator later. But after…I think I’ll be in a very idea-centric mood.”

Ace: “Excellent. Drinks at the hotel?”

Ravyn: “Of course…unless Kelcey kicks your ass before then. Could happen. She’s been known to keep a grudge.”

Ace: “I hope. Makes things more interesting.”

Ravyn: “Naturally.”

Cassidy: “AHEM!”

Ace and Ravyn turns to Cassidy as the camera turns.

Cassidy: “I’d love to let you two keep flirting in front of me. He’s already going to have to do whatever I want later, but can we go?”

Ace: “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Ravyn: “Have fun and remember...”

Ace: “Yeah, drinks later.”

Ace turns and heads off with Cassidy. Ravyn watches them leave as we cut away and back to ringside.

Giovanni Aries vs. Manvel

“All Around The Stars” by Mercy Drive begins to play throughout the arena. Manvel suddenly appears on the Tron as he hops out and poses at the entranceway. Manvel starts making his way down to the ring, as the lights shine off his oil-covered skin.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Miami Beach, Florida, he is the Lubed-Up Assassin, Manvel!”

Manvel hops around excited as he gets a mix reaction of cheers and boos. He slides into the ring literally and gets up, he poses and hops on to the second turnbuckle as the crowd boos and cheers. He hops back down and starts to talk to the referee while showing off his MANLy abs and Mantastic physique. Waiting for the match to start.

Sharper: “Manvel, everyone’s talking about him. He had an infamous run in the battle royal.”

Winters: “Enough oil on him to outfit a lot of fast food joints and he’s here tonight.”

Sharper: “And taking on a returnee!”

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

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

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

"FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!!!"

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

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries returning to SCW and this is going to be a unique return for him.”

Winters: “That’s one way to put it.”

The bell sounds. Giovanni looks at Manvel smirks and poses. Giovanni just takes another drag of his cigarette and blows it in the face of Manvel. Manvel turns and looks away before nailing Giovanni. Giovanni throws the cigarette down. Manvel nails Giovanni and nails him and then again before pushing Giovanni to the ropes and whips her across her ring. He bounces off and Manvel goes for a clothesline. Giovanni ducks and bounces off the opposite side and Manvel goes for a back elbow. Giovanni ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a discus forearm off the ropes. Manvel falls over and rolls over to the ropes. He looks up as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Hard forearm and Manvel down hard.”

Winters: “And Giovanni Aries noting that despite the interesting entrance, he can throw down.”

Manvel starts to get up. Aries looks at him and Manvel then nods and then runs over to him. Aries grabs him and scoops him up, but Manvel slides down. Aries goes for a back elbow. Manvel blocks it and pushes him forward. Aries turns and Manvel hits a dropkick. Aries rolls over to the floor after and looks up. Manvel gets up and poses. Aries looks in and then slides in and gets up and Manvel hits a hip toss. Aries rolls over and gets up and Manvel hits another hip toss. Aries gets up and Manvel kicks him in the ribs and whips him into the ropes. Aries bounces off and Manvel goes to lift him up, but Aries spins around and lands behind him. He then grabs him and hits a half-nelson suplex. The crowd ohs and Manvel rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Aries takes Manvel overhead. Half nelson suplex. Hard way to protect yourself.”

Winters: “And the oil didn’t help him much either.”

Manvel slowly gets up and Aries grabs him and pulls him up and hits a DDT. Manvel rolls over and Aries goes for the pin.

Manvel shoots his shoulder up. The crowd roars. Aries looks up and grabs him and pulls him up before turning and running him face first into the corner. Aries kicks him in the ribs and then again before whipping him across. Manvel hits the opposite corner hard and staggers out. Aries pulls him down by his legs. He then hoists him up and starts to swing him around in the Peyote Experience. Manvel is swung around multiple times as Aries stands in the middle of the ring. The crowd roars before he lets go and Manvel hits with a thud and rolls over.

Sharper: “Manvel getting discombobulated here!”

Winters: “Around and around and when you stop, you just know it’s going to suck!”

Manvel reaches for the ropes as Aries turns and grabs him. He pulls him up and Manvel elbows him in the jaw. Aries staggers back. Manvel turns and elbows him again. He then turns and goes for clothesline. He nails Aries, but Aries falls back to the ropes as Manvel didn’t get all of it and Aries bounces off and Manvel scoops him up. Aries however slides down behind him. Manvel turns and Aries grabs him and hits the Bad Trip. The crowd ohs. Aries rolls over and exits to the apron. He then starts to climb up to the top rope. Manvel turns and rolls over and Aries steadies himself. He then dives off and hits the Down the Rabbit Hole. The crowd ohs. Manvel rolls to his back out. Aries dives onto him.

The crowd boos some as the bell sounds.

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

Sharper: “And Aries down on the back of Manvel’s head!”

Winters: “Jesus. No amount of oil will protect from that.”

Sharper: “And Giovanni Aries, in his return, successful against the MANtastic one!”

Aries starts to get up and just looks around, nodding and smiling as Sam enters the ring. Aries has his arm raised and Aries just continues to just seemingly enjoy being in the ring, victorious. Manvel holds his head in pain and the referee goes to check on him as we cut backstage.

Backstage we see Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster walking into the building as the crowd erupts in boos. We then see Stephen, Bree’s bodyguard, walking with them and Scott Burnside also following. We then see Spirit Dansby waiting. Bree just rolls her eyes as Blake walks forward. Stephen steps forward and Blake waves him off.

Blake: “So, I expected this, but you drew the short-straw.”

Spirit: “Let’s just get it over with.”

Blake: “Don’t worry…Bree won’t bite.”

Spirit just looks down briefly before looking back up at Blake.

Spirit: “Blake, a lot of news surrounding you as you came off of suspension. Just after Taking Hold of the Flame, you revealed that you were to blame for the hacking of Orlando Cruze’s old twitter account-“

Blake cuts her off.

Blake: “Yes, I did. I paid a hacker to take over it. But that was it. The tweets were not mine. Someone else did them. Bree was on board. It was a way to well…let’s just say, make sure Shaun Cruze knew just how horrible of a person he is. No one likes him and frankly, that’s on him. I just wanted to drive the point home and give him something more to remind him just how badly he screwed up.”

Spirit: “Well then you went on our competitor’s program-“

Blake: “Is that an SCW issue?”

Spirit goes to respond.

Blake: “It’s not, so I won’t comment on that.”

Blake then walks off as Spirit turns to Bree as she starts to walk past.

Spirit: “Bree…could I get a comment from you about Kelcey Wallace and your failing to become the World Champion.”

Bree just smirks and looks down, shaking her head.

Bree: “You probably love that. She got a perfect ending. And you know what... she can claim that all she wants. Sure, she kept the title, but that doesn't make her a better woman than me. It only made her better than me in the ring for now. She'll tell everyone that's what matters and if she wants to believe that... more power to her. I have no interest in continuing this fight; it should have been over at Retribution. Mr. D. saw otherwise and gave me a chance. I didn't win, but it's fine. It's totes fine. SCW just isn't ready for all this class.”

Bree then leans in.

Bree: “But it will be soon and Kelcey, Ace, or whoever is holding that title-“

Spirit: “Well about that…we can confirm that Kelcey Wallace will defend the World Championship before then at Supreme Saturday….against Sienna Swann.”

Bree just steps back. She doesn’t even say anything, just storming off as Stephen follows after. Scott looks at Spirit as if she’s a horrible person before heading off. The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see a shot of Jessica Winters backstage with Mr. D and we see Amy Chastaine standing with him.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here with Mr. D and the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Amy Chastaine. Moments ago, Spirit Dansby revealed on announced match for Supreme Saturday in ten days, when Kelcey Wallace will defend her World Championship against Sienna Swann. Now Mr. D, you mentioned that you had an announcement to make that regards our Adrenaline Champion.”

Mr. D: “Yes, Jessica and Amy, thank you for joining me here. As many people have noticed, including the participants themselves, later tonight, we have a scheduled match between Vixen Cain and Katie Steward. And given their disagreement at Taking Hold of the Flame, given their partnership, and also noting both having their issues with you, Amy, frankly, I’m sick of watching them try to do anything to get whatever they want. So I’m going to give them an opportunity.”

Mr. D pauses for a moment.

Mr. D: “Tonight, Vixen Cain and Katie Steward will face each other in singles action. The winner will face Amy Chastaine next week on Breakdown for the SCW Adrenaline Championship.”

The crowd roars. Amy looks a bit surprised and smiles. Jessica turns to Amy.

Jessica: “Amy, your thoughts on this announcement?”

Amy just nods.

Amy: “Vixen Cain still deserves an ass-kicking…and probably more from me. And Katie, you jumped me and my friends the last couple of weeks. You know what…I don’t care who wins. They’re going to find out that that I will beat them with this title on the line and maybe give them a hint that their tactics aren’t going to work against someone like me.”

The crowd roars.

Jessica: “Thank you Amy. Thank you Mr. D. Back to ringside.”

We then open up back at the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters.

Sharper: “That helps clear things up. Obviously, Mr. D booking the match beforehand so they would be ready to compete but adding a bit more to it and Amy Chastaine happy to oblige.”

Winters: “Both have been a thorn in her side. Kara Abheri may even be a bit giddy about it .We know they need something to be happy about after what has been a unique week in their lives with the Mason stuff, the twitter…”

Sharper: “That’s a whole other issue. You wonder also what Selena Frost will say about that announcement. But another issue that some have wondered if Mr. D or SCW officials would comment about…the issue of Lexi von Aaron and AJ Helms. Lexi faced Shaun Cruze at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

Winters: “She did and Cruze won, but after the match, the Cannon’s entered and got their revenge. They were out with Lexi and also got Cruze to agree to change the match to a lumberjack match.”

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still of Cruze in the ring. We then follow up with a shot of the Cannons stomping away on Cruze. This is followed by a still of Lexi entering.

Sharper: “And Lexi von Aaron then entered. She wanted her shots at Cruze. Remember, she wanted to take out Shaun Cruze thinking he was why AJ Helms had turned her away, signing that restraining order.”

Winters: “Lexi got her shot. Locked in the Epic Tap-out, and injuring Cruze’s other arm. He already had a broken hand from the Cannons.”

We then see Lexi locking in the Epic Tap-Out. Cruze grimacing is shown. We then see Lexi pulled back by officials before showing a shot of AJ Helms heading to the ring. This is followed by a shot of Lexi pointing to him and then a still of her backing off as the Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “But that scene. AJ Helms came out to ringside, coming from the back, looking to help his friend. He couldn’t stay in the back after that assault. Lexi von Aaron saw him and you could see the concern on her face. If Lexi von Aaron was in the same room as AJ Helms, she would be fired. That was the terms of Lexi’s continued employment.”

Winters: “Well she can’t be held for that. AJ Helms is the one who came out!”

Sharper: “I actually agree, but that hasn’t stopped Lexi von Aaron from being very concerned that her world could continue to collapse around her.”

Winters: “Would she care? She apparently hates the fans. Hates competing.”

Sharper: “She’s been very open about her frustration and taking it out on everyone else on social media, but…”

We then cut to the entrance way to see Lexi von Aaron walk out from the back, with no music playing. The crowd starts to boo as Lexi looks around and then stops and just looks at the crowd with disgust. She then starts to make her way down to the ring.

Sharper: “And Lexi von Aaron coming to the ring. She’s asked for time to plead her case.”

Winters: “Bless her, but she’s never really all been there.”

Lexi gets to the ringside and goes to the ring and rolls in slowly. She gets up and looks around before turning and going over to the far corner. She grabs the microphone waiting for her and takes it. She heads to the middle of the ring and looks out at the crowd. She then just looks down, her hair covering her face.

Lexi: “I hope Cruze enjoys the reminder of all of the pain he has caused me….”

The crowd boos. Lexi looks out at the crowd.

Lexi: “And I hope that he got the hint that he needs to stay out of MY business….and that involving AJ Helms…”

More boos. Lexi pauses, taking in some of the boos.

Lexi: “All of you shut up. This has nothing to do with you!”

She looks out at the crowd, moving her hair out of her face before then walking over to the ropes and looking at the entrance way.

Lexi: “You all just saw the footage. AJ Helms came out to the ring. He came out for ME. I didn’t go to him. I’ve left him alone….because he is mine…and I have done everything for him. Dyed my hair, supported his title hopes, even left him alone as I took care of Shaun Cruze to show the world that he LOVES ME! And he showed it when he came out, but I am not going to be fired for it. I’m not going to lose more. SCW needs to understand it! These fans don’t deserve me…this company doesn’t deserve me…but I am not going to let SCW remove me from what DOES deserve me and NEEDS me….AJ….I am not going to let this take more from me!”

The crowd boos some more as Lexi von Aaron looks around.

Lexi: “And I’m not going to let me get torn apart more. I know Shaun Cruze was keeping you from me, conning you into signing that agreement. After everything he’s done against Taylor Cruze, against the Cannons, against Blake Mason, against EVERYONE, he also did it to you and I have freed you from it. I have shown him he cannot stop you. You deserve to be with me and I heard him scream. You came out to hear it too. We can end all of this. We can be HAPPY, AJ. TOGETHER. Come on, AJ. That’s why you were out, to know you could finally be with me. That we could have our life together. That this whole thing can come to an end. Leave the demon seed with Scarlett who clearly had you drugged or something. You know you should be with me. WITH ME!”

The crowd continues to boo as we then hear an “AJ!” chant begin. Lexi looks around.

Lexi: “They’re calling for you because they want you to come out and so we can stand here as the team…and maybe even Tag Champs…you still need someone to team with you and STAND with you.”

Lexi pushes the hair out of her face, almost transforming and straightening herself up, feeling some hope.

Lexi: “Come on AJ!”

Lexi continues to talk as we then cut backstage to the tunnel. We see AJ Helms stopped by Dean Black, who grabs his arm.

Black: “AJ…you don’t need to go out here. You have the agreement. She’s still bound by it. You go out there, we can’t do anything.”

AJ shakes his head.

AJ: “With everything else, this needs to end now. She’s just been riled up again. I need to end this.”

AJ looks at his arm.

AJ: “Let me go.”

Black does and AJ Helms walks down the tunnel. We cut back to the ring as Lexi is heard more clearly.

Lexi: “-This is destiny. I have fought for you. I have become what you want…Please, AJ…Please.”

A few moments pass before AJ Helms walks out from the back. The crowd roars as AJ Helms starts to head to the ring, notably without the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Helms walks down the rampway as Lexi has a smile finally form on her face.

Sharper: “And AJ Helms coming down here. AJ stopped by Dean Black. That did not play on the big screen, obviously as someone in the truck saw that happening and didn’t want to set Lexi off.”

Winters: “Yeah, but AJ Helms may be about to do something worse. Lexi’s not stable. This is only playing to her delusion! Trust me. I’ve been there.”

AJ Helms walks over to the ring and walks up the steel steps and along the ropes before entering the ring. Lexi almost is bouncing with some glee. AJ Helms steps forward to her. He then looks down, almost realizing he has to do something. AJ then extends his arm and asks for the microphone. Lexi smiles a bit and steps forward for a hug. AJ Helms stops her. The crowd cheers some more. Lexi stops a bit and hands him the microphone. Helms takes it and takes a step back, intentionally adding space. Lexi can be seen clasping her hands, almost like a form of prayer.

AJ: “Lexi…”

AJ pauses.

AJ: “You need to hear this and understand this. This is not healthy. This started almost a year ago. You’ve kidnapped me. You’ve tried to seduce me with strip teases…”

AJ turns away, clearly a bit disgusted.

AJ: “You’ve gotten involved in my professional life. You’ve threatened Scarlett Pearson multiple times. I am happy with Scarlett. I am happier with Scarlett than ANYONE else I’ve even known or been with. And I am going to be a father with Scarlett. And I couldn’t be happier. Even with everything going on here with Shaun, with Regan, with Jason…I go home and see Scarlett and am happy. You…”

AJ pauses for a moment.

AJ: “I have NO feelings towards you. Your actions have made me DISGUSTED with you. I want nothing to do with you. Shaun Cruze did not force me to sign anything. He signed it with me out of support. I want you to stay out of my life, Lexi. I do not love you. I do not want to be with you. I want you GONE.”

Lexi’s bottom lip quivers a bit. She then responses to AJ, outside of the microphone.

Lexi: “But you came out….”

AJ: “I came out to make sure you’d stop. I came out to help Shaun Cruze after he was being assaulted as despite everything he’s done, I will still support him for the good I know that’s in him! Lexi…this is it. I am done with you. Stay the hell out of my life!”

AJ then hands the microphone back to Lexi. Lexi takes it and AJ goes to step back. Lexi starts to hunch over, her hair even falling in front of her face again as she just looks down at the mat.

Lexi: “AJ….”

AJ stops and just looks down at the floor.

Lexi: “I understand, AJ. I do….”

AJ then goes to step through, but Lexi suddenly nails him in the back with the microphone. AJ falls back into the ring. Lexi then starts to kick at him in the side hard while he’s up next to the ropes. The crowd roars and boos start to come from the crowd as Lexi gets kick after kick after kick in, to the shoulder, to the ribs and one to the head. Helms turns, clearly dazed by that last shot. Lexi then dives onto him.

Sharper: “Lexi von Aaron has just snapped. Just assaulting AJ Helms.”

Winters: “Told you it was a bad idea. Someone like Lexi, there’s no filter, no switch, no logic. Just anger!”

Sharper: “Lexi now just driving that microphone into AJ Helms’ skull!”

Lexi nails AJ with shot after shot after shot with the microphone. AJ turns and falls to the apron and then the floor as officials run out from the back, Dean Black out first. Lexi backs up, still with the microphone in her hand. She then falls to her knees as AJ Helms is slowly helped up by the officials, as he holds his head.

Lexi: “AJ….This is my last gift to you then. If I can’t be with you, then I will end you!”

Lexi just looks through her hair as she almost sadistically eyes AJ as AJ turns back. The officials start to help him to the back.

Winters: “AJ…no one to blame but yourself! You should’ve left it alone!”

Sharper: “Lexi was never going to leave it alone, but Lexi, turning on a dime. That woman has lost it!”

Winters: “Lost Lexi…no more hope there.”

The crowd just looks on as AJ Helms heads to the back with the officials and Dean Black. Lexi von Aaron keeps watching as we then cut away.

The scene opens up backstage to see Selena Frost talking to Mr. D in his office. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Selena: “Are you serious? Look, I’m sorry if this is out of line, but after he and Wiseman’s attack, after their attacks on Amy and Kara, now he may get an Adrenaline Championship shot?”

Mr. D: “Amy Chastaine needs to make a defense soon. Both are seemingly aiming for her and have made an alliance. Amy has every right for revenge, so I may as well let Cain and Katie determine who gets the opportunity.”

Selena looks down and shakes her head.

Selena: “I…I didn’t doubt you in the past. I’ve supported some of your decisions, but this is starting to become the norm. The inmates go crazy, break some skulls and they get the opportunities.”

Mr. D: “I stand by my decision. And on top of that, I’d like for you to stay backstage during that match.”

Selena: “Are you serious?”

Mr. D: “Yes.”

Selena shakes her head.

Selena: “Sorry, but I don’t believe I’m going to be able to just sit back and watch.”

Mr. D: “Selena!”

Selena turns and walks off. Mr. D watches her go.

“Immortals” starts to play. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Brett Sinclaire, Craig Thomas, Damien Rilaki, Ravyn Taylor, Imogen Reed and Brian Brewster.

Sharper: “Selena Frost not happy about the Adrenaline Contendership Match announcement earlier, but next, we’re going to determine the SCW Television Championship contenders for the tonight and the next five Breakdowns. It’s an elimination six way, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The scene opens up backstage as we see AJ Helms in the trainer’s room holding a bag of ice on his shoulder. He just looks down as the crowd roars seeing him. The door then opens and we see Jason Helms walking in. He looks around and nods.

Jason: “Damn…this is the big time.”

AJ: “Jason…”

Jason: “You okay, bro? You got your ass kicked by her. I could’ve told ya not to stick ya ….well-“

AJ: “I didn’t…and I wanted to be done with her.”

Jason: “Looks like you just added a whole new level to it. I mean…I could take care of it for ya.”

AJ: “Like you went after Konrad….No…I should deal with it.”

Jason: “Just sayin’. Plus, ya got those Tag Titles. Probably pretty cool to hold them. Keep up the Helms’ mantle.”

AJ: “Jason….About that-“

Jason: “What? Just pointing out. I already know you got some big shoes to step up to. You’re gonna name Regan…she’s yer ma, right?”

AJ just looks at him.

Jason: “But if you need an extra set of eyes…I’ll be here. It’s what family does.”

Jason pats AJ on the back. AJ winces a bit and Jason heads off as AJ keeps the ice on his other shoulder as we then cut to the ring.

SCW Television Championship Eliminator Battle Royal

“Kingdom” by Downstait hits the speakers as all the lights in the arena go out, though a number of fans will light up their phones to try and cut through the darkness. As the lyrics begin, the Tron suddenly comes to life, playing past clips of Brett Sinclaire in action. A lone spotlight suddenly shines down on the center of the stage, revealing a figure with his back turned as he stares up at the Tron, the spotlight reflecting off the numerous sequins on his robe, especially the “Evolution Incarnate” script on the back.

Phillips: “The following contest is a six-way elimination match to determine priority for SCW Television Championship shots. The first eliminated will face Sienna Swann immediately after this match for the SCW Television Title. First, on his way to the ring, from Manhattan, New York, Evolution Incarnate, Brett Sinclaire!”

As the song hits the chorus, the figure suddenly spins around and throws his arms up, palms to the sky as gold pyro rains down behind him and all the lights slowly come back on, albeit dimmed quite a bit. Brett Sinclaire looks out at the fans with a smile, accepting the split reaction he’s being given as he slowly makes his way down to the ring, the spotlight following him.

Sharper: “Big opportunity in this one. SCW looking to shore up the Television Championship scene for the next month. A mix of former champions and new challengers all lining up to face Sienna Swann.”

Winters: “Yeah and winner gets to determine when, then we go down the line. Only one who doesn’t, the first eliminated. They face Sienna Swann immediately after this match!”

The opening guitar strum of “Enter Sandman” by Metallica hits over the P.A System capturing the SCW fans attention as all eyes divert from the ring to the stage. The lights dim for a moment, a spotlight shines down onto the curtains which slowly part open. Through the curtain walks a muscular man in combat fatigues and a tank top, in his hands is an electric guitar which he is playing...

Phillips: “The next entrant, hailing from Kaua’I, Hawaii, he is Damien Rilaki!”

The response from the fans is positive as Damien Rilaki looks up and continues to play along with his theme song. He begins to confidently walk down to the ring with a smirk on his face.

Sharper: “Brett Sinclaire in. Damien Rilaki next. An example of the former champion and now a new challenger. We’ll see what they can do in this one.”

Winters: “It’s going to be fight to say the least. Six people in this, so you gotta keep looking over your shoulder.”

“Waiting for the Kill” By Queensryche plays, and Brian Brewster appears at the top of the ramp.

Phillips: “And introducing next, from Savannah, Georgia, Brian Brewster!”

He smirks at the smattering of boos that come from the fans in the crowd that know him. Brewster starts down the ramp, the smirk still there but otherwise no care how the fans are reacting to him.

Sharper: “Brian Brewster has been impressive so far in his run here in SCW. Could be his first chance to lock up a shot at gold.”

Winters: “And a chance to show what he can do. That’s how I’d be looking at it. A good mix of experience in this one.”

“Adrenaline” by Shinedown begins blasting through the arena as blue and yellow lights pulse rapidly in an alternating fashion on the stage. As the opening guitar riffs of the song come to an end, blue and yellow pyro goes off on stage, and when the lyrics start Craig Thomas and Stacy Kissinger walk out hand-in-hand, both with big smiles on their faces.

Phillips: “Next out, from Denver, Colorado, accompanied by Stacy Kissinger, and representing Adrenaline Rush, Craig Thomas!”

When the song hits the chorus they all break into a full sprint down the ramp. They simultaneously slide into the ring and hop up and pose.

Sharper: “Former TV Champion Craig Thomas. Recently married to Stacy Kissinger, now Stacy Thomas.”

Winters: “We’ll see if that can change his luck. Could walk away with some choice here.”

The arena goes dark and an eye melting orange spotlight pierces the darkness to illuminate the stage as “Sh*t-talker” by State of Shock starts to play. Imogen Reed appears, all but dragging Beard by the hand behind her.

Phillips: “Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Beard, from Little Odessa, New York, she is Imogen Reed!”

She makes him raise their hands above her head so she can do a little twirl, before she struts down the ramp like she doesn't care who owns it because it belongs to her and Beard now. Despite her escort, she winks at the hot guys and girls that call out to her, then makes a show of squeezing Beard’s bicep to make them jealous.

Sharper: “We saw Imogen Reed debut at Taking Hold of the Flame and swapping entrance numbers with Beard. Now tonight, with Beard at her side, she makes her singles debut.”

Winters: “And right off the bat in a title contention match, and a guaranteed title shot too.”

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

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

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

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

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

Phillips: “And the final entrant, representing Dark Fantasy, from Hell, Michigan, she is Ravyn Taylor!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

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

Sharper: “And arguably the most dangerous, Ravyn Taylor. Former TV Champion, former World Champion.”

Winters: “I’ll add this…really nice ass!”

Sharper: “Well she’s more than that, but you’re referring to her little striptease she did in front of you at Taking Hold of the Flame as part of same game with Ace Marshall.”

Winters: “Oh yeah, I’m not going to doubt her ability in there. If I’m the other five, I focus on her, get her out. She’s the one I don’t want in there long. She’ll pick up on everything.”

Ravyn looks around before stepping through the ropes to the apron, intentionally letting others start off. Sinclaire exits too as does Imogen. Thomas proudly stays in and Brewster sucker punches Rilaki. Rilaki staggers off and Brewster is the last out.

Sharper: “And Damien Rilaki with an assist from Ravyn Taylor is eliminated. Thomas planting him with the Flipping the Bird!”

Winters: “Not the showing he wanted. He was dominating and Thomas took advantage. He wants this opportunity.”

Sharper: “And it also means that Rilaki will face Sienna Swann immediately following this match here on Breakdown for the TV Title.”

Winters: “Again, he’s at least getting a shot. But I’ve heard these two have had some history.”

Ace: “Hmm…no cheap beer. What the hell? How am I supposed to throw a party-“

Selena then walks over.

Selena: “You know we’ve not had alcohol back here in a long time. Partially because some people have had a few issues with them. In fact, thank Gods given that some people around here would probably need one with what’s going on.”

Ace: “Well Selena…long time no see-“

Cassidy Carter then walks over to Ace and wraps her arm around Ace’s. Selena turns her attention to Cassidy.

Selena: “Yeah…a great story…”

Damien Rilaki vs. Sienna Swann

SCW Television Championship

We return to the ring to see Damien Rilaki standing in the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the SCW Television Championship with a twenty minute time limit. Already in the ring, the challenger, from Kaua’I, Hawaii, he is Damien Rilaki!”

Damien Rilaki holds his arm up as the crowd roars a bit. We then cut to the announce table to see Ravyn Taylor at the announce table with Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters.

Sharper: “We are about to see the Television Championship on the line. Damien Rilaki about to challenge Sienna Swann and the winner of that previous six person challenge, Ravyn Taylor has joined us at ringside.”

Ravyn: “How observant.”

Winters: “Just doing some more scouting?”

Ravyn: “Or I just wanted a better seat. Although, I should note this immediately following bit was a bit over the top. Rilaki has had plenty of time to recover.”

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Then Angel, Sienna Swann walks out with her head down as the crowd gives a mix reaction but admiring at the beauty.

Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to pepper down on her from the “paparazzi” staged around her, Laura making sure that they take plenty of pics of The Beautiful Angel before making her way to the ring, Laura instructs the Twins to follow her to the ring as she disappears to the back with the photographers.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Johannesburg, South Africa, accompanied by the Truelove Twins, she is the SCW Women’s Champion and the reigning and defending Television Champion, Sienna Swann!”

Sienna walks down to the ring, looking around and blowing kisses when one of the fans touches her. She stops, turns to the Truelove Twins who take out a sanitizing wipe and disinfect the area she was touched. Satisfied she continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top rope, posing with her wings spread wide. She looks up to the rafters as a gold spotlight like the light of heaven shines down on her as gold glitter begins to rain down on the entire arena. Sienna smirks and hops into the ring, spreading her arms out and smiling before taking off her wings from help of the Twins. She hands the Women’s Championship over to the twins before handing the Television Championship to the official. The twins make their way out of the ring and to the back while Sienna stands, patiently waiting for the start of the match posing and showing off her assets to the crowd as they continue to give a mix reaction to the former South African Beauty Queen and model. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. The referee hands off the title.

Ravyn: “Quite the unnecessarily opulent entrance.”

Winters: “Well she is a beautiful.”

Ravyn: “And that would be fine if any of that had to do with wrestling. When she’s bruised and battered, I’m just pointing out the flaw in relying on that.”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann looking to defend here tonight against Damien Rilaki, and she was just announced to face Kelcey Wallace for the World Title at Supreme Saturday.”

Ravyn: “Good luck to her. Damien Rilaki probably would love to hand the title to Kennedy Street or celebrate or what not. They’ve gotten quite close. As for the World Title, I wonder what had to be negotiated….hmmmmm.”

Damien Rilaki looks at Sienna Swann as the bell sounds. The two circle and Rilaki lunges at Sienna, but she ducks around. Rilaki stops and turns and Swann hits a spin kick to the face. Rilaki falls over and turns away. The crowd boos a bit. Swann watches him and smirks. Rilaki starts to get up.

Sharper: “Rilaki was in action before, but he’s had a good opportunity to recover.”

Ravyn: “The advantage of an early exit. I doubt he wanted to leave early, but he got the best advantage as a result. Almost something I would’ve considered had I not valued control.”

Rilaki gets up and turns and Sienna grabs him in a side headlock. The crowd boos as Rilaki then pulls Sienna back and onto the ropes before firing her off. She bounces off and Rilaki shoulders her down. The crowd roars. Sienna looks up. She rolls over and Rilaki grabs her and lifts her up and turns and whips her into the corner.

Sienna kicks her legs and slides down . Rilaki steps forward. She waits and Rilaki turns around as Sienna blasts him with the Off the Rack. The crowd ohs and Rilaki falls into the ropes.

Sharper: “Hard elbow. Rilaki rocked, but into the ropes.”

Ravyn: “Doesn’t matter much if he’s in the ropes. I thought she was better than that. I mean, she’s always wanting more.”

Ravyn smiles as the camera gets a shot of her.

Winters: “But sometimes you take the shot you have.”

Rilaki rolls over and Sienna grabs him and pulls him back up before pulling him down with a neckbreaker. She follows up with a pin.

Ravyn: “I supposed we should call that heavenly?”

Winters: “I would.”

Sharper: “The moonsault taking down Rilaki.”

Ravyn: “But I mean after we were told of her perfect heart-shaped ass, I mean, that moonsault gave us more angles than we’d ever hope for, especially for a dual champion!”

Rilaki slowly stirs and Sienna gets up and waits a moment before hitting a spin kick to the ribs and then hitting a spinning back kick to the top of the head. Rilaki drops. Sienna rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “There’s your Television Champion. Sienna Swann is still holding the title and gaining some momentum heading into Supreme Saturday in ten days.”

Winters: “A good effort from Damien Rilaki, but that Kiss of an Angel does it all.”

Ravyn: “Impressive isn’t it…Well our most beautiful dual champion, that’s what she wants to be called…well…I’ll have to think long and hard about when exactly I’d like to deal with that…”

Winters: “Big decision.”

Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “Of course.”

Ravyn Taylor looks on from the announce table as Sienna Swann continues to hold her titles up. She just smiles and poses as the crowd continues to boo.

We then cut backstage to see Spirit Dansby standing by with Katie Steward and TJ Johnson.

Spirit: “Spirit Dansby here and Katie, we now know your match against Vixen Cain, which will be next, will now be for an SCW Adrenaline Championship opportunity. You two have been working together, but with a bit of tension.”

Katie: “Spirit, please…we may have been working together, but let’s face it, when some gold is on the line, it’s all about me. And Cain can talk about his rematches for the World Title, but let’s get one thing straight…I won a match that should’ve gotten me a World Title shot. I’ve not forgotten and this…it’s a small way to return to my good graces, but I want that World Title shot. But if I have to take the Adrenaline Championship first by beating Vixen Cain and then Amy Chastaine next week…”

Katie laughs a bit.

Katie: “Oh yes, The Goddess will oblige.”

Spirit: “Thank you for your comments and good luck. Now let’s go to Jessica Winters who is standing by with Vixen Cain.”

The scene changes to another area backstage to show Vixen Cain talking to Jessica Winters. Merrick Wiseman is notably not with him.

Jessica: “Thank you Spirit. Jessica Winters here and I’m with Vixen Cain and if you win tonight, you’ll get a match against Amy Chastaine for the Adrenaline Championship.”

Cain smiles a bit.

Cain: “Well it should’ve happened when she was still the US Champion, but finally, SCW has given me a way to expose her for the fraud that she is, but if SCW thinks I’ll ignore the fact that I should be challenge for the SCW World Championship…say at…Supreme Saturday instead of someone who frankly would cry if she broke a nail, then they have another thing coming. But if they want to try and throw smokescreens, well, dearies…I’ll not only counter, but turn things into everyone’s worst nightmare. Just ask Selena…may have gotten me out…but didn’t stop me.”

Cain smiles and then walks off. Jessica turns to the camera.

Jessica: “Vixen Cain faces Katie Steward for an Adrenaline Championship opportunity, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

We open up live back in Buffalo to see Ethan von Aaron standing over Jonathan Knots in the middle of the rampway.

Sharper: “Get away from him! Ethan von Aaron assaulting Jonathan Knots!”

The crowd boos as Knots can be seen down on the rampway. Knots stirs a bit and Ethan then stomps him in the face and then again and again. Ethan then steps forward as a few officials run out from the back to check on Knots. Ethan looks around before then starting to walk around the ring.

Ethan: “Want to humiliate me?!”

Ethan then drops down and low blows Knots and Knots drops forward and Ethan then drives him face first into the rampway. Knots rolls over. The Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

Sharper: “And just like at Taking Hold of the Flame, Knots stopped Ethan von Aaron for getting more involved in the battle royal when he was helping in his mind, Kennedy Street. Knots low blowed Ethan then to stop him. Tonight, Ethan not just attacked him but returned the favour and…What are you doing here now?”

Ethan von Aaron can be seen walking over to the announce table as we return to a live shot. We briefly cut back to see the officials helping Jonathan Knots up. Back at the announce table, Adam Sharper looks at Ethan as Ethan walks over and grabs the headset. He then puts it on.

Ethan: “What was that? What am I doing? Well, I figure if Knots can do this, I can actually do it well because if you had to carry him for years, well, it can’t be that hard.”

Sharper: “You just assaulted an announcer-“

Ethan: “One that attacked me first. See, if I was allowed to do what I had planned, we’d be talking about Kennedy Street versus Kelcey Wallace at Rise to Greatness. I’d have made sure we’d be talking about the Flawless Reign again. Kennedy can think that what she’s doing it going to reap something, but it’s not a GOOD way to do it. Oh no. It’s just turning her into a pawn for D while the real way to superstardom and the money and the accolades to demand what you deserve and Keenie is a star! A bonafide star and one that is GOOD at the top and had she listened to me instead of what D or Knots have said, we’d be seeing her on top again.”

Sharper: “So then why are you here then? Why aren’t you talking to her so she can remind you why she tossed you to the side.”

Ethan sits down as we see a shot of Knots being helped to the back.

Ethan: “Easy…She’s going to come to me realizing I am right and plus, we can’t have you go solo. May as well also show that the Silver Tongue of SCW is just tarnished and well, we need a GOOD colour commentator here at ringside.”

Sharper shakes his head and takes a deep breath.

Sharper: “Well, we were going to see Cain and Steward face each other, but we need to take care of this situation. So instead…Shaun Cruze is not here tonight. He is at his home, but last week, after Taking Hold of the Flame, Shaun Cruze shared with us these comments. Please take a look.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We see a shot of Shaun Cruze seated on his couch at his home as Angyalka Cruze sits next to him. His one hand is in a cast, while his opposite arm is in a sling. He just looks in the camera.

Cruze: “It looks like I’ve been through a war….right?”

Cruze nods to whoever is taping.

Cruze: “Well, it’s everything I deserve for what I’ve done and I haven’t complained an inch. I have fought through it and taken it and I will keep taking it for more. That is my mistake/…that mistake I made when I placed my hands on Taylor Chase…and I will have to live with that and if I have to keep paying penance I will. The beating I took at the hands of Lexi, the field in the battle royal…I noticed a few people focusing on me…Amy….And of course the Cannons…”

Cruze pauses for a moment.

Cruze: “About the Cannons…I know it’s far from done. My arm still moves. But, I’ll give them something else. We got a Supreme Saturday coming up. Tell D to book me against them. Again the Cannons. Give them their opportunity. Sign them to one day contracts or whatever…I want it. They deserve it….I’ll walk in and let them try and finish the job.”

The Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

We return to a shot at ringside.

Ethan: “What an idiot! He wants to be destroyed!”

Sharper: “He does and SCW has allowed that match to take place, but there are some unique provisions I’m being told are in the works. We should also note that those comments came before some actions that involved Orlando Cruze’s son which we do not have an official comment on, involving Blake Mason. But I’m sure whenever Shaun Cruze is back in an SCW arena, after taking some time to recover from injuries, he’ll have some comments on that. As for his match against the Cannons…it’s been signed, provisionally.”

Ethan: “So?”

Sharper: “SCW has agreed to host it in principle. The Cannons have made some additional demands and we urge every to keep checking supremecw.com for updates.”

We then cut backstage to see Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster walking down the hallway. Stephen leads them down as we see Scott with them. We then see Amy Chastaine and Kara Abheri watching the monitor in preparation for the Katie Steward/Vixen Cain match. She just turns to them.

Bree: “Amy…Kara…”

Amy and Kara just turn away and walk off as Bree turns and watches them leave.

Bree: “Hey! Wait-“

Stephen stops her.

Stephen: “We need to keep moving.”

Bree just turns back and reluctantly goes with them. Blake wraps his arm around Bree as they walk off.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see Kennedy Street with Jonathan Knots backstage in the trainer’s room. Knots winces as he lies on the medical bed.

Kennedy: “Honey…you need to stop moving. You’re not used to this.”

Knots: “Oh please…it’s just a flesh wound.”

Kennedy: “You don’t need to act strong for me.”

Knots: “Yeah, but Ethan…hits like a pillow…plus…”

Knots reaches down and smiles.

Knots: “Oh thank God…”

Kennedy: “Jon….I’m going to deal with this. You should be out there sharing your talent and he, the jealous bastard, is out there…”

Knots: “Wait, Kennie…you’re just letting him get under your skin-“

Kennedy: “It’ll be fine. I’ll take care of it.”

Kennedy walks off as we cut away.

Backstage in another part of the arena we see Donovan Kayl getting ready as Simon Lyman walks in. The crowd cheers loudly.

Simon: “So Donovan…you know I’m coming out there with you tonight…”

Kayl looks up. He shakes his head.

Kayl: “Won’t be happening. I need to do this alone and frankly, even if you may be part of it, I don’t want you being a part of what I plan to do.”

Simon: “We’ve stood together before in the past and you know I can handle myself.”

Kayl: “I know…but I told D I would be standing solo. We’ve got security to keep Blake and Bree protected until I am done that match. Then whatever anyone wants to do, it’s fair game, but with the enemies they have, I want this…and Simon….just like I respected some of your decisions, please….”

Simon just nods.

Simon: “I get it…but the first moment that I feel you need support, I’m there.”

Kayl: “That’s fair….”

Kayl and Simon then fist pump.

Simon: “Kick his ass.”

The crowd cheers.

Kayl: “Proudly.”

Kayl then sits back down and continues to lace his boots as we cut to the ring.

Vixen Cain vs. Katie Steward

Number One Contendership for the SCW Adrenaline 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. TJ Johnson walks out behind 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 with TJ Johnson following as well.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and is for an SCW Adrenaline Championship shot next week here on Breakdown! First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by TJ Johnson, she is from Los Angeles, California, she is the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

Katie makes it to ringside and walking over to the ring steps. She stops for a moment as the crowd boos. 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. TJ Johnson hops up and opens the ropes for her. Katie enters the ring and walks to the middle and stands there taking off her ring robe revealing her amazing and beautiful ring wrestling attire and TJ is right there to take her robe from her. Katie and TJ walk over to her corner and TJ exits the ring with Katie’s robe in hand and Katie gets warmed up for her match.

Sharper: “Are you going to do this, Ethan?”

Ethan: “Damn right. Nothing better than seeing someone who knows what class and how to get the job done. Katie Steward should be role model to Keenie. Keenie, no offense Katie, everything she’s done, it will surpass Katie, but Katie showed how its done and she’s as respected as ever!”

Sharper: “That’s one way to look about it. Meanwhile, you wonder what Katie Steward and Vixen Cain could do here. There was that argument they had on this program and let’s face it, Cain has no problem using people for his aims. Katie too!”

The first several chords strum out before taking over into “Danse Macabre” and as the lights all start to flicker in time with the music, a sudden spotlight suddenly emerges, showering the stage in light. Another one from a high angle shines down in the same spot, followed by another and there the camera sees a shower of golden sparks fall down from the heavens behind the man, Vixen Cain, who stands with his side to the camera, smoking from his long cigarette holder, his head tilted up to the sky.

Phillips: “And her opponent, on his way to the ring, from Salem, Oregon, he is Vixen Cain.”

He then starts to make his way down to the ring. He gets down to the ring and takes off his coat. He throws it onto the ring apron before taking another drag of his cigarette. He then puts it out on the ring apron before climbing up the steel steps. He gets into the ring. He then scans the arena and smiles. He then turns to Katie and says something to her.

Ethan: “What’s he saying?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, probably nothing helpful. And you wonder also backstage, Amy Chastaine said she’d take either on, but part of her may want to pull for Vixen Cain.”

Ethan: “I wouldn’t want either. Amy Chastaine is fine, but just another weakness for Keenie. Amy Chastaine is some veteran holding on by sucking the life out of Keenie. Keenie could just destroy her and leave her in her wake and dominate. She needs to realize that!”

The bell sounds. TJ Johnson snaps back and Katie turns to him and tells him to calm down. Cain just steps forward and TJ yells at Cain some more before Katie lets out her Goddess Scream to stop TJ. Katie turns to TJ, but TJ then points behind her. Vixen Cain runs up behind Katie and clubs her in the back. Katie falls over and turns out of the corner. Cain then nails her with a forearm and then another and another before grabbing her and pulling her out of the corner and hitting a clothesline. The crowd boos. Cain drops down and hooks the leg.

Katie kicks out. She turns and rolls away. Cain starts to get up and Katie starts to pull herself up as Cain gets up and walks over to her and pulls her up. He hits a forearm shiver. Katie staggers back to the corner. Cain hits a back chop and then a forearm before going to whip her across. Katie hits the opposite corner. Cain runs after and Katie jumps up and floats over. Cain turns and Katie hits a dropkick.

Sharper: “Katie with the counter. Cain got a bit overzealous. Katie up and over and then the dropkick.”

Ethan: “Second best in the business!”

Cain falls into the corner. He starts to get up and Katie snapmares him over and hits a dropkick to his back. She goes for the pin.

Cain kicks out. Katie rolls off and Cain starts to get up and Katie gets up and grabs him. Cain then nails her with a shot to the ribs. She staggers back to the ropes. Just then, the crowd erupts in cheers as we see Selena Frost run out from the back. She slides into the ring. Katie notices this and in a quick moment, shoves Cain back. Cain turns around and Selena jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. She turns and stomps Cain. Cain turns and Selena stomps him in the head and then again. Katie backs up and TJ Johnson grabs her and whisks her away from ringside. The bell sounds.

Sharper: “Selena just bee-lining Cain! Stomping away. Katie Steward getting taken out of here.”

Ethan: “See what a good manager does. Protects their client!”

Sharper: “But I heard the bell!”

Selena stomps Cain over and over and over again. The bell sounds again. The referee points to Cain before Jason Phillips is heard.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, via disqualification and the next challenger for the SCW Adrenaline Championship….Vixen Cain!”

Selena looks up and then realizes what she’s done. Cain grabs at the ropes, smiling and Selena turns and stomps him in the face and then again and again and again and again. The referee gets in and pulls Selena back. Cain rolls over and Selena gets free and kicks him hard in the ribs. Cain rolls over to the floor. Cain turns and coughs a bit as he turns to the barricade. Selena paces as the referee stands in front of her, following her, and keeping her back. Selena then looks around before turning and demanding the microphone. Cain grabs at the barricade and starts to pull him up. Selena is handed the microphone. She turns back and the referee stops her again.

Selena: “Just get out of my way. I’m done with him, for tonight….”

The crowd cheers a bit.

Selena: “This is what gets action around here. I hate this….I hate this…..”

Selena paces a bit, clearly annoyed.

Selena: “Vixen Cain has Merrick Wiseman attack me and try to ruin my attempt to go to the main event to face Kelcey. Cassidy Carter gets involved…we have Ethan von Aaron running around….don’t get me started on some of the mess with Cruze or Mason…”

Selena turns and looks at Vixen Cain. The referee moves over and starts to block her again.

Selena: “If this is what gets results, SCW, you know what I want now…and that’s that piece of crap in this ring. Cain has ducked it long enough.”

Selena pauses for a moment.

Selena: “And it looks like I just gave you an Adrenaline Championship shot Vixen. Probably the closest you’re going to get to gold for a long time and it’s against someone else you hate. I can’t wait to watch Amy kick your ass.”

Selena then backs up as the crowd cheers. Cain starts to get up. Selena walks around the ring. She then stops and turns to the main camera.

Selena: “I hate that I had to do this, but I’m done. This is what gets results. And if I don’t get my match against Cain, or if Cain ends up walking out of next week with a title that means the world to me….This isn’t the only time I’m going to have to get dirty to get what I want. I didn’t need to come to this, but if you’re not going to stop it….I will….BELIEVE IT!”

Selena drops the microphone. She then turns and walks over to the ropes. The referee drops down to the floor first. Selena then drops down and ignores the official and Cain and just starts to head to the back. The crowd cheers her.

Sharper: “I’ve never seen Selena Frost so directly annoying and that violent. Vixen Cain has been a thorn in her side for so long and she’s done waiting.”

Ethan: “Maybe she needs a good manager!”

Sharper: “Stop it….Vixen Cain has an Adrenaline Championship shot. Selena Frost essentially gave both Cain and Chastaine a gift. A motivator to give Cain something he may want, something Chastaine wants…and for something she values more than anything. A proud former Adrenaline Champion.”

Ethan: “And it’s a message to SCW!”

Sharper: “A fixture in Cain’s matches. I don’t know if she intended to give Cain that or was just going to go after whoever she could. Katie or Cain first….but Cain got it, got the match….and Selena Frost is showing a side of her we’ve not seen.”

Selena Frost continues to head to the back as Cain gets up, chuckling a bit and coughing. He holds his ribs and then his jaw as the official helps with him.

Backstage, we open up to see Spirit Dansby standing next to Tina Valentine, who gets a strong cheer from the crowd.

Spirit: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Tina Valentine and Tina, you have finally come to SCW. You signed on the dotted line prior to Taking Hold of the Flame and made your debut. Now you have a long history in this sport and some people may be concerned, but Tina, how does it feel to be back in a wrestling ring and for it to be in SCW?”

Tina: “Well, it feels pretty damn good.”

The crowd cheers.

Tina: “And I got a good taste of what I’m up against at Taking Hold of the Flame. But I seem to have come in a time where it’s a bit chaotic by the looks of it and well, I thought I should just be clear that I won’t be adding to it. That was a period of the past I’d rather not look back at. It’s been a long time and I’ve taken some time to make sure I’m ready for this and everything it entails. And I have a few goals. I have a few people I wouldn’t mind reintroducing myself too, but tonight, I’ll stand on the sidelines and watch….but only for tonight. Next week, I have my Breakdown debut. And after that, everyone better look out…because I’m only going up from there.”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Ah…Spirit, sorry, but we need to come back out here…”

We cut abruptly back to the ring as we see Kennedy Street walking around the ring.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street is joining us.”

Ethan: “Time for her to bow down and know what’s GOOD for her!”

The crowd cheers as Kennedy heads around to the announce table. She then leans in front of Ethan.

Kennedy: “This is what you’re going to do. Attack Jon. Who did nothing to you except get you to understand I am done with you. You’re not capable of understanding that that old me is gone. I’m done with it. I’m done acting like a prima donna.”

Ethan:” So you don’t want to be a champion? A star…that’s what you were!”

Kennedy: “No…I wasn’t. I was a joke. I wasn’t respected…now I am.”

Ethan: “By who? These idiot fans who probably just want you to notice them so they go home and blow a load into their sock? Or the women who judge you because you show your ass when they’re stuffing cheeseburgers into their mouth or Kleenex into their bras…yeah…that’s great.”

Kennedy: “Listen to you….This isn’t what we do-“

Ethan: “Yes, it is. This is what makes you a star and makes you lots and lots of money. You want that…come on…We’ll make millions!”

Kennedy: “That’s it. Get this through your skull…I am done with you. Now get up and leave or I will show you exactly how serious I am about this. You are out of my life!”

Ethan leans back and shakes his head and sighs.

Ethan: “You don’t get it. But if you need more convincing, well…this is what happens when you don’t understand the epic opportunity I give you.”

Kennedy: “What are you talking about? You’re just a mouthpiece-“

Just then, we see someone hop the guardrail and run over behind Kennedy. Kennedy tries to turn, but she’s forced back around by her attacker, none other than former World Champion, Thirteen who pulls her back in the Last Breath. Kennedy struggles.

Sharper: “My God! It’s Thirteen! Thirteen returned at the battle royal and now he’s choking out Kennedy!”

Ethan gets up and applauds.

Ethan: “Maybe this will help her understand. You’re with me or you’re with me and I’ll take you to the top!”

Kennedy struggles as Thirteen coldly looks out, just keeping the hold on. Kennedy slowly goes limp.

Sharper: “Get help out here! Thirteen’s rear naked choke…he’s put people out. He could do some serious damage!”

Thirteen continues to pull back as Kennedy starts to slowly go limp. The crowd boos as Kennedy’s eyes close as she’s unconscious. Thirteen keeps the hold on for a moment longer before we see officials running down from the back. Ethan then walks over to Thirteen and taps him on the shoulder. Thirteen lets go.

Ethan: “I think she’ll get it now.”

Thirteen pushes her off and sits up and turns. Ethan then pulls out some money from his pocket and hands the wad to Thirteen. Thirteen takes it and puts it in his pocket. He then turns to Thirteen. The officials come down and quickly move around them, moving them away. The crowd boos as a couple of officials check on Kennedy. Ethan and Thirteen start to walk around, with Thirteen glancing back at Kennedy as we cut to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and the camera pans across the crowd before coming to ringside as we see Adam Sharper now rejoined by Shawn Winters.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Adam Sharper here and now rejoined by Shawn Winters. Another chaotic night.”

Winters: “That’s putting it mildly. Selena Frost losing it earlier. Kennedy Street just attacked. We saw Lexi von Aaron assault AJ Helms.”

Sharper: “And we still have Blake Mason and Donovan Kayl in action later.”

Winters: “What can you say? It’s never a boring night in SCW. And with Rise to Greatness on the horizon….everyone wants that big message and the best spots.”

The lights go out. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is heard before we hear a roar. We then start to hear “Who’s Next” by Porcelain Black. The crowd boos as we see Regan Street walk out from the back, shaking her head and then turning and looking back and motioning to someone. We then see Mikaela Street walking out. She winces a bit, still apparently selling the impact of Marie Jones striking her at Taking Hold of the Flame. Regan Street walks over to her and says something to her before the two start to head to the ring.

Sharper: “Regan Street coming down to the ring with Mikaela Street. We expect an apology. That’s what Mr. D demanded, but we have Mikaela Street coming out seemingly in a lot of pain from a dropkick.”

Winters: “A hell of a dropkick.”

Sharper: “She’s a former wrestler. I get being hurt on Sunday, but it’s been a week and a half.”

Winters: “Maybe bruised her spine.”

Regan Street leads Mikaela down to the ring and Regan walks up the steel steps. She walks along before Mikaela walks up and Regan helps her up before holding the ropes open as Mikaela enters the ring. Regan steadies her and the two walk to the middle of the ring. Regan then walks across and motions to Phillips to give her a microphone. Regan takes it and walks back to the middle of the ring.

Regan: “Cut my music.”

The crowd boos as the music fades out. Regan looks around. Mikaela winces a bit as she stands up straight.

Regan: “Apparently, I have to come out here….and….”

Regan pauses for a moment and then looks down. Mikaela leans over and supports her sister.

Regan: “I….”

Regan nods and turns to her sister.

Regan: “I’m sorry….I’m sorry that you had to get injured because Marie Jones couldn’t keep her hands off of her. I’m sorry that SCW doesn’t have any care for the protection of their managers. This woman has not been in the ring in years and despite all of the hardship she has endured, from the inability of supremecw.com to post columns on time, to ending her wrestling contract, to needing to have a constant supply of Viagra for her boyfriend…”

Mikaela lightly backhands Regan.

Regan: “I’m sorry….but I am not sorry for attacking the owner of this company who’s talent reading ability is so poor that I have had to wait five months for a title shot I should have had three months ago and then having me have to share the ring with a twitchy teenager who hasn’t hit puberty and someone who only got their shot because they were lucky for one damn night! I’m sorry I didn’t kick you a few times harder and make sure that you got it beat into your that I should get whatever I damn well ask as I’m the only person in this company that is worth something to you. It’s not Syren, not Kelcey, sure as hell not Ace, it’s me.”

Regan then steps forward.

Regan: “So here’s the best you’re getting….I’m sorry that I won’t be saying sorry for beating your ass and reminding you that you’re a God damned invalid that should step aside and give me what I want. No…I’m not a bully. I just know what I deserve. And I deserve a shot at the US Champion, Marie Jones.”

The crowd roars a bit. Regan then turns and looks at the entrance way.

Regan: “See Marie, the premium just went up because I want my proper, deserved, one on one title shot, but not just that…the moment you touched my sister, the moment you hurt my sister, that’s the moment that frankly I decided something….I don’t even care which one of you decides to come and deal with me. Bring Kimberly Williams….and I’ll just beat both of you down! So…Selena so nicely said it moments ago….Selena…thank you for agreeing with me. This is what gets attention and I’m going to win the US Championship and remember Frosty….this was all for you!”

Regan then flips the microphone back. It lands with a thud and she then turns and starts to walk forward before we then see Mr. D walk out from the back. The crowd roars a bit. Mr. D takes a step forward and looks down at Regan Street who just rolls her eyes. Mr. D has a microphone in his hand.

Sharper: “Well there’s the boss and I don’t think he’s going to accept that apology.”

Winters: “She said the words. I think that counts. Someone like her…probably caused physical pain to admit anything.”

Mr. D looks down at Regan.

Mr. D: “You know Regan…It’s funny. I figured you’d probably come out here and pull what you just did because let’s face it Regan, for you to accept that you’ve done anything wrong, especially after everything you’ve been doing or saying, I’m pretty confident you would spontaneously combust!”

The crowd roars as Regan mockingly laughs.

Winters: “I called that one!”

Mr. D: “And so I made sure I had an alternate plan. Since you can’t just humble yourself and you are nothing more than a bully, I will respond in kind with tactics that will make sure you understand who is calling the shots here, no matter what you feel you deserve…So!”

Mr. D pauses for a moment and reaches into his blazer pocket. He then pulls out a folded piece of paper. Regan just looks at him confused. Mr. D then unfolds it.

Mr. D: “This Regan….well, it’s AJ Helms’ official request for you to be his new Tag Team Champion. Let’s face it, if anyone here thought AJ would pick anyone aside from his adoptive mom, well, you should talk to AJ. But Regan, you would’ve been a World Tag Team Champion as of tonight.”

Regan just looks on before Mr. D rips up the piece of paper. He then drops it. Regan just seethes in the ring.

Mr. D: “Not anymore. I’ve informed the Board of Directors and they’ve agreed that you are not a suitable replacement thanks to your actions. AJ Helms is going to have to find someone else to hold those titles.”

Regan snaps a bit, moving to the ropes and Mikaela stops her as Regan yells at Mr. D.

Mr. D: “And the best part Regan…thanks to your actions, myself and the Board of Directors have decided that until you come out here and publicly apologize, we will not be considering any championship opportunities for you from here on out. And just to make the point….at Supreme Saturday, Marie Jones will be defending her SCW United States Championship, live from Puerto Rico, against Jinn. Have a nice day.”

Mr. D then steps back as Regan snaps at the ropes. Mikaela keeps trying to keep her back as Regan keeps throwing her tantrum. Mr. D then returns through the curtain as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Regan Street finding out that bullying doesn’t pay. Maybe there is a limit to all of this. Mr. D responding to Regan.’

Winters: “Not just that, but Marie Jones now knows who’s ahead of her and she’s got a really pissed off Regan Street to deal with, even if she can’t go for the title! And it’s against Jinn, someone who had a problem with Regan and Hudson going back the last few weeks!”

Sharper: “And I’ll add… Mikaela looks pretty good holding her back. No pain at all!”

The camera cuts to Regan and Mikaela in the ring before we cut away.

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy plays and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne on the screen.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne will make her singles in-ring return here on Breakdown. She faces Alex Drake next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see a shot of Jay Gold bloodied and down in a stairwell at Taking Hold of the Flame.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Another big moment from Taking Hold of the Flame that SCW officials are working on involves Jay Gold. Jay Gold was supposed to be in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal as a surprise entrant. He was found unconscious backstage, attacked by someone.”

Winters: “And we don’t know who.”

Sharper: “But Dean Black and the SCW officials are looking into and Dean Black is standing by with Jessica Winters.”

We open up to see Jessica Winters standing with Dean Black backstage.

Jessica: “Thank you Adam. Now Dean, we saw Jay Gold attacked. Do we have any further information about the attack? Any sense of who did it?”

Black: “At this point, all we can say is that it wasn’t a solo job. The way he fell, we’re being told that he was walking up the stairs and pulled back. And then attacked. He was bruised hard in his back and so this looking like a planned attack.”

Jessica: “But did anyone know he was going to be in the battle royal? It was a surprise for everyone.”

Black: “And that’s what we’re wondering. Many of the mystery entrants enter the building earlier on. Jay Gold’s history as a commentator, he came earlier. So it’s possible he told someone. It’s possible someone figured it out when he had his gear with him. I’m not sure. One possibility is that back in the day, Jay Gold always used to run the stairs in the arena as a way to get warmed up and someone happened to stumble upon him. We’re not sure but-“

Just then, we see Merrick Wiseman walking into the scene. Black looks at him.

Black: “What do you want?”

Wiseman: “You know…if only you and your boss realized that you could’ve prevented this all.”

Black: “We’ve been over this.”

Wiseman: “And it’s your loss. Because maybe just maybe…you dimwits could control something. Instead….well….”

Black: “Do you know something?”

Wiseman just pats Black on the back.

Wiseman: “If I did…I certainly wouldn’t tell you. You don’t deserve justice.”

Wiseman then walks off as we cut back to the ring.

Alexis Quinne vs. Alex Drake

The eyes all focus on the stage as A Stranger I Remain hits over the P.A System. The lights begin to flash green, silver and black as the crowd starts to buzz and cheer, though there is noticeable boos in the crowd. As the crowd looks on and the song kicks into gear, Alexis Quinne finally walks out to a louder mixed reaction. She's donning an all black jacket with black jeans shirts, black Chucks with black shoestrings and an all black hat. Another interesting item is around her neck; El Rudo's mask draping around it like a necklace. Every piece of clothing has absolutely no logo or patches, a contrast to her PUNK HAZARD days. Another change is there's no one accompanying her to the ring. Quinne looks around briefly before she storms down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one-fall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from San Francisco, California, she is Alexis Quinne!”

Alexis walks down to the ring, holding the tip of her cap. The crowd continues to give her a mixed reaction. However, Alexis doesn't respond to anyone really, however judging by her facial expression, she appears to be seething. The camera zooms in closer on her all black attire, an attire that once had the PUNK HAZARD green and black. Alexis acknowledges the camera by a subtle grasp of Rudo's mask on her neck. Alexis does eventually reach ringside and she decides to just slide in the ring. Alexis tosses her hat violently onto the mat as the crowd reacts. Rage and anger show on her face as Alexis paces back and forth around the ring. Eventually, Alexis does retreat in the corner, sitting on the middle rope, Rudo's mask still hanging from around her neck.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne had in the past been much happier and would have been celebrating the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Championship victory. But it’s a much more different Alexis now.”

Winters: “Much different. Thanks to PUNK HAZARD no longer being around and after Taking Hold of the Flame, where Dante was nowhere to be seen and Christy Matthews and Alexis Quinne having issues, Alexis Quinne is on her own.”

“Leader of the Heart Broken” by Papa Roach starts to play in the arena. After a shortened intro, spotlights circle around the arena. Alex Drake walks out from the back and looks around and extends his arms. Mickie Road walks out with him. Drake spins around before starting to walk to the ring. He raises his arms in the air as the walks down as the crowd boos him slightly.

Announcer: “On his way to the ring, her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is new Canadian Heartbreak Kid, Alex Drake!”

The boos continue as Alex Drake struts a bit to the ring and walks around the ring before hopping onto the apron. Mickie Road follows him down. Drake looks at the crowd, showing himself off for a brief moment. He steps through the ropes and spins around before Quinne nails him with a hard right. Drake hits the mat and rolls over. Road promptly drops to the floor.

Sharper: “Quinne right after Drake. Not even giving him a chance to take off his entrance attire.”

Winters: “She’s not screwing around tonight. First singles match since back and Drake just drew the short-straw. Pint-Sized Awesomeness no more. Now just Pint-Sized Pissed Off.”

Drake gets up and Quinne hits a dropkick. Drake falls back to the corner. Quinne grabs his entrance attire and uses it to throw him down. He gets an arm free and turns and Quinne kicks him in the ribs and then again before grabbing his entrance attire and wrapping it around his face and then nailing him with a hard right and then another and another as the crowd cheers. Drake staggers off and falls through the ropes to the floor. He rolls over and manages to get his other arm free as Mickie Road checks on Drake as Quinne paces around the ring. The crowd roars.

Winters: “And this guy claims he’s the next CHBK. He wouldn’t have just gotten in like that!”

Sharper: “Drake quickly finding out that Quinne isn’t going to deal with his arrogance and promptly giving him a taste of what that’s like!”

Drake starts to get up and looks around before turning and rolling into the ring. He gets up and rushes at Quinne. Quinne jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking him down. He hits the mat and Quinne dives onto him and nails him with a series of hard right hands while kneeling next to him. Drake covers up and Quinne then gets up and stomps him in the face and then again and again before walking around the ring. The crowd roars. Drake rolls over and grabs at the ropes. He starts to get up and Quinne turns and rushes at Drake, but Drake suddenly lifts her up and drops her with a hot shot on the top rope. The crowd ohs and Quinne falls back, rolling over, coughing and holding her throat. Drake just smiles as he starts to get up.

Sharper: “And Drake just made sure Quinne’s momentum is halted. Hot shot into the top rope!”

Winters: “That’s the problem with being under half the size of your opponent. Quinne is tiny and Drake just launched her.”

Drake slowly pulls himself up. The crowd boos him as Quinne slowly starts to get up and Drake grabs her and elbows her in the back of the head. She drops to the mat. Drake pulls her up and then scoops her up and hits a backbreaker. He goes for the pin.

Quinne kicks out. Drake turns and gets up and hits an elbow drop. Quinne grimaces and Drake grabs her and pulls her up. Drake then scoops her up and hits a snap back suplex. He then turns over and grabs Quinne’s legs. He yells out and calls for the end before stepping through the legs of Quinne and turning her over and locking in a sharpshooter. The crowd boos as Quinne yells in pain. Drake however doesn’t sit down completely, and just listens to the crowd, egging them on. Quinne therefore is able to still keep reaching for the ropes and dragging herself. Drake looks back and keeps resetting before managing to sit down, but too little too late. Quinne reaches for the ropes and grabs them. The referee calls for the break.

Drake lets go and walks forward. Quinne slowly rolls over and to the ropes.

Sharper: “Drake showing his arrogance. He never fully executed the hold.”

Winters: “The real CHBK would never do that and it’s just another sign of how this kid really is in over his head.”

Drake turns around and Quinne slowly starts to stir on the apron. Drake goes over and grabs her and pulls her up, but Quinne grabs Drake by the head and hits the guillotine drop. Drake staggers back. The crowd cheers. Quinne turns and climbs up to the top rope. Drake turns over and Quinne dives forward and lands on his shoulders and spins out into the tornado DDT. The crowd roars. Drake rolls over and slowly stirs and Quinne gets up and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and hits a basement dropkick, knocking Drake back down. Quinne then looks at him and quickly goes for him and locks in the Dreadnaught Plata! The crowd cheers.

Winters: “Now there’s a hold fully applied!”

Sharper: “Dreadnaught Plata! Quinne has it locked in, hyperextending the arm!”

Drake yells out as Quinne keeps pulling back as the referee checks and Drake then taps out. The crowd cheers. The bell sounds. Quinne keeps the hold on for a moment longer before letting go. She stands up and looks around. The referee raises her arm.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Alexis Quinne!”

Quinne pulls her arm away.

Dante: “Well that was impressive…”

Quinne turns and starts to look around. We then see Dante McCaffery outside of the building, leaning against the Sedan that has become a part of his exit. We see again the familiar female driver. We cut to the ring to see Quinne looks at the big screen showing Dante McCaffery.

Quinne: “Get in here!”

Dante: “I certainly hope that you defeating someone who I’ve had about twelve seconds of dealings with in Alex Drake was going to prepare you for dealing with me. You and I both know he’s not capable of what I am. But Quinne, keep being angry. Keep looking for revenge. It will only happen on my terms though because I know that you are wrapped around my finger.”

The crowd boos. Quinne just looks at the big screen, seething in anger.

Dante: “So keep fighting…keep showing just how pissed off you are. I’ve already won and when you find out how…well, I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Dante then steps back and waves off the cameraman before we then hear a thud on the trunk of the Sedan. We then see Christy Matthews standing there and looking down, holding a baseball bat. Dante backs up and backs away bit.

Sharper: “It’s Christy Matthews!”

Winters: “Well I guess he’s going to have deal with Christy’s terms.”

Christy then looks up at Dante.

Christy: “Well, here’s the thing Dante. This isn’t for Alexis…but this is because you decided to go after me finally and that’s where we have a problem. And I’m going to deal with it on my terms because that’s what I do.”

Christy then turns and bangs the trunk again. The door opens and Dante backs away, pointing to her.

Dante: “Stay in the car. We’re going to leave.”

Dante opens his passenger door and Christy walks over and swings and hits the back window, causing it to shatter. Dante backs up. Christy swings again, hitting the passenger door. She then turns and reaches in for the person in the car, but Dante shoves the door onto Christy, sandwiching her in the door frame. Christy backs up and falls back, holding her ribs. Dante turns and spins around the door and steps inside. He then slams the door shut. Christy gets up and turns and swings, nailing the side of the car hard with a dent. The car squeals off as Christy then steps forward and stops. Christy winces a bit before the car turns and drives off. Christy then watches him leave. The crowd roars a bit.

Sharper: “Dante just getting out of there. Obviously, the woman in the car, Christy realized she could be an issue!”

Winters: “Tried to stop her from doing what she did. Dante moved in front of the car. Christy figured she may try to run her down!”

Sharper: “Maybe, obviously, Christy Matthews leaving Dante now with a bill as he drives off. Quinne still with no revenge. Christy Matthews getting a small taste here tonight!”

Christy continues to watch him leave as we then cut away.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see Christy Matthews walking through the backstage area with a baseball bat in her hand. The crowd cheers her. We then see Alexis Quinne walking back from her match, walking over to her. Christy just lifts the bat up and puts it across her shoulder. Quinne just walks up to her.

Quinne: “You know I didn’t need your help with him….not like you would’ve given it.”

Quinne then turns and walks off. Christy just brings the bat down and holds it in her hand and nods as we then cut away.

We then open up to see Spirit Dansby. She is standing next to Gable Winchester in front of one of the locker rooms.

Spirit: “I am here with Gable Winchester and Gable, you’ve been quiet as of late, but not only that, you hold a Trios Tournament contract. Any thoughts to using it?”

Gable: “No, not yet and frankly, I’ve been waiting a bit. Waiting for Autumn Valentine to get back up to one hundred percent. Some nagging injuries have put her on the shelf. She decided to take some time. And well, after the year we’ve had and some of the ups and downs, and well, with everything else going on in SCW, it seems like a good time to step back and chill, if you get my drift. So many people being so intense, I felt a need to step back. Time still is on our side. And yes, I have that Trios Contract and whenever she’s back, her and I will sit down and figure out what we want to do together.”

Gable then turns to Spirit.

Gable: “And then, the Team of Win, it will be back!”

Spirit: “Thank you for your time.”

Gable nods and walks off.

Spirit: “Back to ringside.”

“Fall Into Sleep" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson. The crowd boos and Hudson just looks around, his hoodie over his head as she just peers out to the crowd.

Sharper: “The man who made focusing on Syren his entire focus at Taking Hold of the Flame. He didn’t injure her. He didn’t beat her. Syren telegraphing that and sending him running. But the battle royal was a different story.”

Winters: “Indeed it was.”

TAKING HOLD OF THE FLAME – June 4, 2017

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen as we see a still of Ravyn Taylor and Syren hitting a double DDT on Ace.

Winters: “Dark Fantasy was working together. Hudson had been thrown to the floor, not over the top rope. He took it as a chance to recover. He entered and saw his moment to make sure Syren wouldn’t go to Rise to Greatness to challenge the World Champion.”

We then see a shot of Josh Hudson on the floor. We them see Hudson kicking Ravyn in the ribs before then showing him lifting Syren up for the Kingdom Come. This is followed by a shot of Hudson throwing Syren over the top rope and then a still of Hudson dusting his hands off.

Sharper: “Kingdom Come and then up and over. Syren eliminated. Hudson would be shortly after, but still, the sting of Hudson getting that part done had to hurt Syren as she wanted to main event Rise to Greatness yet again.”

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen.

We return to a live shot as Hudson walks around the ring. The crowd boos some more. Hudson has a microphone in his hand. He then looks around before tapping the microphone. The crowd boos some more.

Hudson: “How sad it is when people are coming out here demanding apologies when the only thing that should be apologized for tonight is that I didn’t get the job done.”

The crowd boos as Hudson looks around.

Hudson: “Oh I made sure that she wasn’t going to be going to Rise to Greatness so we didn’t have to hear her talk about destiny or how she’s main evented before or any of that crap. I picked my spot, hoisted her up and dropped her across my knee and gave her a little nap, a reminder of exactly what I am capable of….and then tossed her over the top rope to the floor like the piece of trash that she is!”

The crowd boos some more as Hudson points to the floor.

Sharper: “Disgusting…”

Hudson: “The problem was that she didn’t land on her head and make it so we’d be free of her at Rise to Greatness as well. And that’s the problem I have. I had two shots to make good on my claim and that was not just to make sure Syren wouldn’t main event Rise to Greatness, but it was to make sure she never main evented again!”

Hudson looks down as the crowd boos.

Hudson: “And while people like Regan Street now have to play politics, and kiss ass, Syren is here probably just waiting until SCW gives her another shot, gives her her chance to take on, you know what…maybe even the winner of Ace and Kelcey and that, you know what, that makes me sick. So I had two shots….maybe third time’s the charm and Syren, this time, I make sure that it’s not just a concussion that puts you out, but I find some other way to make sure that you’ll be the only one jealous…of Regan, of me, and of anyone who can actually compete in this ring and hold the top prize in this business again.”

More boos greet Hudson. Hudson then turns and brings the microphone down. He then turns and walks over to the ropes. He steps through and drops the microphone to the apron. He then drops down to the floor. Hudson then backs up and turns to the entrance way as we then see Syren running out from the back. Hudson looks up as the crowd roars and Syren jumps up and nails him with a hard right and then another and another before both twist down to the mats.

Sharper: “Hudson threatening Syren’s career still and Syren heard enough! Bolting down here and taking the fight to Hudson!”

Winters: “Face to face! Everyone is just so riled up!”

Sharper: “And hard shots take Hudson down, the impact causing Syren to lose her footing too!”

Hudson turns and Syren then nails him with a forearm and then another and another. The crowd roars as Hudson ends up at the steel steps. Syren gets up and looks around, even looking under the ring. She turns back and Hudson kicks her in the ribs. The crowd boos and Hudson hoists her up onto his shoulders. He smiles and then turns and looks to throw Syren up, but Syren turns and lands on the apron before kicking him back in the jaw and then turning back and hitting a twisting Total Makeover to the mats. The crowd roars. Syren rolls over, holding her lower back in pain. Hudson rolls over, holding his face. Syren gets up slowly as “Groupie” starts to play. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Hudson looked to hit some variation of the Kingdom Come.”

Winters: “I think he was thinking about using the apron, but Syren got her feet out and made him pay!”

Sharper: “Hudson driven face first into the mats. Not a good night for Regan Street or Josh Hudson tonight!”

Syren backs up and yells at Hudson.

Syren: “Want to take me out…I’m not going down with a fight!”

Syren backs away and winces a bit as the crowd cheers her. She throws her arms up in the air. The cheers continue. The cameras remain on Syren for a few moments before we cut away.

We then open up in one of the hallways to see Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster walking down one of the hallways with security accompanying them, including Bree’s personal guard, Stephen. The crowd boos loudly.

Sharper: “Folks, it’s been an intense night, but nothing like what we’re about to see. Blake Mason is about to be in action. Security flanking them for their safety. Donovan Kayl has told everyone to stay away. It will be Donovan Kayl facing Blake Mason when we return, here on Breakdown!”

The crowd continues to boo as we cut to commercial.

Blake Mason vs. Donovan Kayl

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

The lights go out as “G.O.A.T.” by CFO$ featuring Will Roush starts to play. The crowd boos. A spotlight shines down on the stage as we see Blake Mason walk out from the back wearing a bejewelled robe. He looks around, smiling as he looks around, posing on the top of the stage. Bree Lancaster then walks out from the back. A few moments pass before Scott Burnside walks out too. They then all as a group head to the ring. Security walks down to the ring with them.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for television time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, on his way to the ring, from Boston, Massachusetts, accompanied by Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside, he is Blake Mason!”

Blake Mason walks hand in hand with Bree Lancaster down to the ring. Scott runs up the steel steps and holds the ropes open for Bree as she walks up the steel steps. She then enters the ring. Blake Mason walks up the steel steps and steps into the ring. He looks around and smiles before walking to the middle of the ring and undoing his robe. Bree walks over and slides the robe off. Blake just smiles. He takes it off and walks over to the corner and holds it over his head. He just smiles before hopping down and handing it off to Scott Burnside. Burnside takes it he helps Bree out of the ring as Blake turns to the entrance way. The security guards stand in the entrance way with Stephen walking over to stand next to Bree herself.

Sharper: “This despicable individual, after everything we’ve heard.”

Winters: “He was busy while on suspension.”

Sharper: “And of course, not going to comment on that.”

Winters: “And the guards are coming right to the ring?!”

Sharper: “Seems like it. After a night of chaos, SCW obviously knows how many want to get their hands on Blake Mason and given Donovan Kayl’s request, maybe this is their way of allowing Kayl to get what he wants and avoid something worse. I don’t know.”

"Epic" by Faith No More starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet. Stepping out of the back is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the ring, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Phillips: “And his opponent, 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. He then looks at the guards. They step aside, allowing Kayl to walk past. Kayl then turns to them.

Kayl: “My fight…keep everyone else out.”

The one guard nods. Kayl then gets to the ring. He pulls himself onto the apron and then slingshots in. The bell sounds. Mason then lunges at him. Kayl does too. Kayl ducks a clothesline and Mason stops and turns and Kayl spears him down. He then dives forward and locks him in a side mount and hammers away on Mason with a couple of hard shots.

Sharper: “Kayl takes down Mason! Here we go! The fight is on!”

Winters: “A lot of revenge wanted in there and he’s teeing off!”

Kayl gets a couple more shots in before Mason slides out and rolls over. He reaches over to the ropes, crawling over and tries to crawl through. Kayl grabs him by the tights and pulls him back in. The crowd roars. Mason rolls over and gets up and Kayl blasts him with a hard right. Mason hits the mat. He gets up and Kayl chops him in the chest. He chops him again and Mason falls into the corner. Kayl grabs him and whips across the ring. Mason hits the corner hard and staggers out and Kayl clotheslines him down. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Mason kicks out. He turns and rolls over and goes to the ropes as Kayl gets up. Mason grabs at the ropes and Kayl runs across the ring, bounces off and hits a basement dropkick, knocking Mason through the ropes and down hard to the floor. The crowd roars. A Kayl chant echoes throughout the building.

Sharper: “Big dropkick and Mason sent hard to the floor!”

Winters: “Bree and Scott better stay back, even with Bree’s personal guard. Kayl’s riled up here.”

Kayl rolls to the floor as Bree and Scott walk around. Kayl threatens them, by getting ready to fight them too.(1) Stephen stands in front of them. Kayl then turns and grabs Mason and pulls him up and throws him into the barricade. (2) Mason turns. Kayl then nails him with a hard right and then another and another. (3) Kayl then knees him and pulls him up. Bree tries to get past, but Stephen continues to protect her and Kayl rolls Mason into the ring. Kayl rolls in after and Mason starts to get up. Kayl runs over and hits a running knee lift. He hits the mat and Kayl grabs Mason and pulls him up before placing him on the middle rope. He leans him down and starts to choke him as the crowd cheers again.

Sharper: “Kayl punishing Mason. Mason hasn’t even gotten out of the gate here in Buffalo!”

Winters: “And now just choking him. Kayl needs to be careful he doesn’t get disqualified.”

Sharper: “I don’t know if he even minds if he gets what he’d like. We’ve seen how revenge can be such a powerful motivator here in SCW tonight. So many people yearning for something.”

Bree paces as the referee calls for the break.

Kayl steps off and then walks around the ring. Mason pushes off and slowly starts to get up, coughing. Kayl walks over to him and grabs him and takes him over with a snap suplex. Kayl turns and gets up. He walks into the ropes, looking over at Bree, before bouncing off and hitting a knee drop. Mason rolls over in pain. Mason starts to get up and moves to the corner. Kayl walks over after him and pushes him back by his chin, just looking at him. The referee counts again.

Kayl forearms Mason in the jaw and Bree hops onto the apron. Stephen pulls her off, causing her to dodge a back elbow. Kayl spins through and the referee reprimands Bree as Kayl turns back and Mason kicks him right between the legs. The crowd ohs and Kayl falls over. Mason then steps forward and drills Kayl with a fist drop.

Sharper: “And Mason goes low seeing the opening and Kayl is down!”

Winters: “Too much too fast and he’s letting himself get caught. He wants revenge so badly that he’s forgetting what I’m sure he’s learned many, many times before.”

Mason gets up and stomps Kayl in the face and then again and again and again and again. The crowd boos. Kayl turns and starts to get up and Mason grabs him and knees him in the ribs before gutwrench suplexing him down. The crowd boos.

Bree applauds as Mason looks at Kayl. Kayl starts to crawl to the ropes and Bree moves over to get into his face, but Kayl reaches out, not to strike her, but go for the ropes. Bree then points to him, snapping at Blake. Stephen then comes over and pulls Bree back as Blake runs over and kicks Kayl in the side of the head. Kayl rolls over and down to the corner.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster now even firing Mason up more.”

Winters: “She doesn’t want him getting injured! He wants him to stand tall! That’s what a good fiancé does!”

Sharper: “Kayl wasn’t going to touch her, he was going for the ropes!”

Kayl grabs at the ropes and Mason grabs him and pulls him up before hitting a snap back suplex. Kayl rolls over in pain. He turns and Mason grabs Kayl and looks at him, looking at his face before kicking him in the chest as he pulls him up and places his head between his legs. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “No….Blake…come on…”

Winters: “He does this, he’ll miss Rise to Greatness!”

Blake smirks as he then lifts Kayl up, but then hoists him up before hitting a release powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Blake walks forward and walks around the ring. Bree just applauds as we then see Simon Lyman walking out from the back. He heads to the ring with some urgency as Blake then turns and grabs Kayl and starts to lock in a dragon sleeper. The crowd boos and Blake turns and looks at the crowd. Simon Lyman goes over to the security guards, but the guards stop him. Simon walks along them and points to the ring. Blake keeps the hold on and then notices Simon. Blake smiles, keeping the hold on Kayl as the referee checks Kayl.

Sharper: “Simon Lyman has come out here and security keeping him back. Obviously concerned as Blake teased the piledriver, but hit the powerbomb.”

Winters: “Simon probably didn’t find that funny like Blake did. But Blake now noticed him.”

Sharper: “Kayl in trouble….and wait a minute…”

Blake lets go of Kayl and throws him over. He then walks over to the ropes. Bree looks on and Blake steps through the ropes. He drops down to the floor. He then walks forward to the guards as Simon looks at him and the guards keep trying to keep him back. Mason then points to his chin as Lyman just looks at him before shaking his head. He then tries to get through when suddenly Mason sucker punches him with a hard right hand. The crowd boos as Lyman falls back. Mason backs up and turns back to the ring. He rolls up and Kayl is back up and spears him into the corner. He shoulders him in the ribs and then again and again before pulling him out and drilling him with a short-arm clothesline.

Sharper: “A cheap shot to Lyman! Lyman is down, but Kayl is back up and right on Mason!”

Winters: “Why did you even do that, Blake?!”

Blake rolls over and gets up and Kayl grabs him and pulls him up before hitting a DDT. He then turns and nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Lyman slowly gets up as Bree paces a bit. Blake rolls over and moves back to the ropes. He gets up and Kayl walks over to him and Blake hits a back elbow. He then turns and runs forward and goes for Kayl, but Kayl lifts him up before throwing him forward. Blake lands on his knees and Kayl runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits the Point Blank! The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Point Blank! Kayl got that knee right to the side of Blake Mason’s head!”

Winters: “He’s out!”

Sharper: “Kayl now going for the pin!”

Kayl goes for the pin.

Bree, Scott and Stephen then all come over and grab Mason’s arm and pulls him out of the ring, causing him to land on the floor with a thud. The crowd boos. The referee gets up and sees what happens and calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the crowd boos some more.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via disqualification, Donovan Kayl!”

Kayl gets up and turns before rolling to the floor. Bree pulls Blake up and Scott helps too. The three go over to the barricade as Stephen suddenly pulls out a retractable night stick and stands guard. Bree starts yell at the SCW security guards who start to move towards them. Simon moves with them, trying to get to them.

Sharper: “Blake Mason pulled out of the ring. My God…their personal guard…he has a night stick!”

Winters: “A riot club and they’re using the security to make sure they’re safe. Simon and Kayl both want to get their hands on them. This wasn’t enough!”

The crowd boos as Kayl just looks at Stephen. Bree starts to tell some of the guards to follow them into the crowd. Blake climbs over and some of the event security also start to surround them. The crowd boos. They start to slowly make their way through the crowd with security following them. Stephen backs up too as Simon and Kayl just look at each other and then Stephen. He then takes a swing and exits to the barricade.

Sharper: “Bree, Blake and Scott Burnside getting the hell out of dodge. Standing Room Only standing and unable to do anything thanks to their guard brandishing that weapon!”

Winters: “No revenge for them. Blake and Bree got out of here!”

Sharper: “But at some point, they’ll get their hands on Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster…it just wasn’t tonight!”

The crowd continues to boo as Kayl and Lyman stop at the barricade. Mason, Lancaster and Burnside, along with the security guards walk through the crowd as the scene slowly fades to black…
