“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

 

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

 


 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

 

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

 

I'm thinking about the old me

'Cause I've been feeling empty

I never used to be so dead inside

 

Shots of Selena Frost celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Konrad Raab, bloodied, standing tall in the ring. Following this is Cid Turner punching CHBK in the concourse. Ace Marshall hitting the Air Marshall on an opponent follows.

 

I think I lost my memory

I can't remember carefree

And all my days turn into fight or flight

 

Holly Adams standing on Asher Hayes at Tactical Warfare follows before we see Syren hitting the Total Makeover on an opponent. Bree Lancaster hitting the Classifier on Aaron Blackbourne follows before we see Polly Playtime diving off the top rope and landing on an opponent with a crossbody..

 

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

 

Holly Adams throwing Syren into the windshield of a pink convertible follows before we see Kandis and Tommy Valentine holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Ravyn Taylor standing on the ropes, looking down at herself, follows before we see Gavin Taylor hitting an opponent with the Gavin Taylor Lariat. Glory Braddock hitting the London Plunge on a downed opponents is next before we see Tsunami hitting a running body avalanche on an opponent in the corner.

 

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear

Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear

'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)

Trying to get back to who I used to be

Where is the old me?

 

Autumn Valentine hitting the Blindspot on a foe follows before we see a shot of Owen Lee and Daisy Lee on their way to the ring, and then a shot of Kimberly Williams licking a staple gun. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.


We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

 

Sharper: “The Road to Rise to Greatness continues as we return north of the border to one of wrestling’s great cities in Calgary….Alberta, Canada!”

 

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd. After a few moments, the cameras cut to the announce position where Adam Sharper, Jonathan Knots and Simon Lyman sit.

 

Sharper: “Welcome to ringside. I’m Adam Sharper alongside Jonathan Knots and Simon Lyman and folks, big night tonight. World Tag Team Championship on the line.”

 

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as we see a shot of Holly Adams and GiGi Aries vs. The Happy Farmstead Friends for the World Tag Team Championship.”

 

Lyman: “Big night indeed and after last week, the Friends were helped by the Brand, we now know what that contract was that they had them sign. It was for their match tonight. The Brand could walk out with more gold.”

 

Sharper: “At a time where Cid Turner may be less and less inclined to side with them. He left early last week. Datura then greeted by GiGi to end the show. What is going on with the Brand?”

 

The Breakdown logo comes up again as we see a shot of Selena Frost vs. Owen Lee.

 

Knots: “Yeah, but what’s going to be going on with Selena Frost and Owen Lee. Adam Allocco will have a front row seat. Selena wanted him to watch. Selena’s arrogance has her going up against Owen Lee. And Lee has all of the arrogance in the world too. Let’s see them both get a taste of their hubris tonight!”

 

Sharper: “Big main event and-“

 

As the spotlights flash across the stage and the video screens come to life, “Cynics and Critics” by Icon For Hire hits the PA system.

 

“We’re not cynics; we just don’t believe a word you say
We’re not critics, we just hate it all anyway”

 

The crowd roars as we see Lexy Chapel walk out from the back with Lionel Barkz, which gets a roar from the crowd. Autumn Valentine walks out too getting more cheers. Lexy bends over and pets Lionel Barkz, Lawyer Dog, before starting to head to the ring, on a mission. Autumn follows a few steps behind them.

 

Sharper: “And we ended last week with Autumn Valentine coming out to get her hands on Datura, only for Alexis Quinne to stop her and then GiGi Aries to come out.”

 

Lyman: “You have to wonder what she’s thinking, but while Autumn is coming out, that’s Lexy’s music and she’s got Lawyer Dog and I think we’ve got some shenanigans coming.”

 

They reach the ring and Lexy leads Lionel Barkz up the steel steps and into the ring. Autumn pulls herself up onto the apron and steps in. Barkz looks around, his eyes darting from all of the people in the Saddledome. Autumn walks around the ring as Lexy walks over and demands a microphone. Jason Phillips hands her one and she takes it before walking to the middle of the ring.

 

Chapel: “Fans of SCW, Manager of the Year, LEXY CHAPEL here and I have a problem!”

 

The crowd roars as Autumn walks around the ring.

 

Chapel: “Last week, we saw the most OBVIOUS forms of tampering and stealing, and skeeziness and it’s totally not okay. I mean, clearly Bear was in trouble, hitting on Holly Adams. He would never hit on Holly. I mean not with me and Autumn right there and we’re hot. Right?”

 

Autumn looks confused at Chapel’s logic and walks over. Chapel stops her.

 

Chapel: “And after everything, trying to steal my clients, the World Tag Team Champions, now they have conned them into a World Tag Team Title match and well, that’s not going to happen without me having something to say about it and I’ve brought the finest legal mind we have in Lionel Barkz, Esq. to deliver a brief and-“

 

Autumn walks over and grabs the microphone and places her hand over it. Lexy looks up at Autumn. Lexy nods as Autumn steps back.

 

Autumn: “Lexy’s going to still be angry. And let’s face it, we all know what happened. You took two people running for their lives and used that against them. Really nice business. Again – great advertising for the brand.”

 

Autumn shrugs.

 

Autumn: “But that seems what you do. What Holly does, what Giovanni does, what Cid does…take advantage of people who are at their lowest place-“

 

Lexy moves in.

 

Lexy: “NOTHING at all like what I did. I helped give Autumn confidence and helped her reach her potential and now we’re in LOVE!”

 

Lexy turns and looks at Autumn as the crowd roars. Autumn turns and looks at her.

 

Autumn: “Yes…and thank you Lexy.”

 

Autumn pauses a moment.

 

Autumn: “But you’re starting to become more and more of my problem. Because I said if Datura got involved at Taking Hold of the Flame, she would regret it. I’m not going to just step aside. Not after everything. Not when two years ago, some of you wouldn’t have even been able to tell your kids who I was if you saw me at the supermarket. Yeah, I didn’t give any Effs. Oh, I do now, and I’m not going to just stand back and watch as people get in our business scot-free. And I don’t even know where to start.”

 

Autumn pauses. Lexy holds her hand up as if to ask a question.

 

Autumn: “Thanks Lexy, but it was rhetorical.”

 

Lexy smiles and lets out a brief “oh!”

 

Autumn: “Do I start with Datura….or the man who helped him up after Cid walked off again…huh, GiGi? Or do I call out Alexis Quinne who saved Datura just as I was going to do to her what she’s done to me multiple times…get involved, when she’s not paying attention, and screwing everything up. Well-“

 

Opening strum of Rage Against the Machine's Calm Like a Bomb plays. White house lights illuminate the ramp.

Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
FEEL THE FUNK BLAST

The song kicks it. The house lights turn blue, red, green, etc. Alexis Quinne walks out through the curtains. The crowd roars. Autumn turns to the entrance way as Alexis Quinne walks down from the back, holding a microphone.

 

Quinne: “We gonna doing this. Let’s do it!”

 

The crowd cheers as she reaches the ring. She hops onto the apron. Autumn goes to step forward, but Lexy actually stops her. Quinne steps up.

 

Quinne: “Yeah, hold her back. Not going to do anything here.”

 

Quinne enters the ring and steps up  as Autumn looks at her.

 

Quinne: “Gotta problem with me? Just come talk. I aint one to run. I aint looking to attack from behind either. But no matter how misguided she is, I aint gonna let you attack her from behind-“

 

Autumn: “Then we have a problem too. Because I should be standing here as Adrenaline Champion.”

 

Quinne: “Yeah, yeah. I get it. You know what else I get? You knew it was happened…how about you just be better.”

 

The crowd ohs. Autumn turns away before we cut to the entrance way as GiGi Aries walks out, microphone in his hand. Datura walks out with him. The crowd boos loudly.

 

GiGi: “Alexis….Autumn…please don’t talk about our latest client as if she is something to be fought over.”

 

The crowd boos. Alexis turns and looks down, clearly disappointed. Autumn glances at the stage and then to Alexis before turning back.

 

GiGi: “See, the Brand, we are just helping people and Datura already is showing great progress. Cid took her part of the way…we’ll take her the rest. And if that means we need to make her goal to defeat you Autumn to shut you up, so be it. But I think you and Lexy should worry about other things. Accusing us not being truthful in our aims….you two have nothing to speak about.”

 

Autumn turns to Lexy as Lexy thinks for a moment before her eyes widen. She steps forward, holding Autumn’s microphone to her mouth.

 

Lexy: “You! What lies are you spreading? You think because you went through my phone?! I knew she was up to no good and-“

 

GiGi: “Then stay out of the Brand’s way tonight in the Tag Title match and you’ll not have to find out what we know…or don’t. Until then, let the nirvana wash over you. Think positively. It’s good for everyone.”

 

“Instant Karma” by John Lennon plays as GiGi turns to Datura who glances at the ring. Alexis shakes her head as Autumn turns to Lexy as Lexy turns to Lionel Barkz, kneeling next to him and petting him, asking for advice. Autumn glances back at Quinne. GiGi and Datura leave the stage, returning to the back.

 

Sharper: “A lot to unpack here. Quinne and Valentine at each other’s throats. Datura coming out with Aries, but what does the Brand know about Lexy Chapel?”

 

Lyman: “They called her a liar. What’s on her phone?”

 

Knots: “Get off it. They’re just messing with her.”

 

Sharper: “These are people that planted a bug to expose Selena Frost. They know something.”

 

Quinne turns and looks at Autumn as she exits the ring. She backs up as Autumn watches her and the scene fades to black.

 

Backstage, we see Samuel Davis in his wrestling gear. He takes a deep breath and gets up and turns to Where’s the Beef? and Holly Adams.

 

Davis: “Alright. Let’s go-“

 

Holly: “Oh, honey…look, we’re not going.”

 

Davis: “Uh…what?”

 

Holly: “GiGi and I need to focus on our Tag Team Championship match. This is an opportunity to show our new payment plan – goods in lieu of cash. For those who may not have cash, but can offer other collateral to better themselves.”

 

Davis: “But you just saved them-“

 

Holly: “And would they have been better off dead?! I don’t want to go down that negativity, Samuel. So tonight, you’re on your own. Step up and build yourself back up. A lesson in self-reliance. You can do it!”

 

Davis: “Uh…but…GiGi was just out there…”

 

Holly: “Datura isn’t as far along as you. Don’t know if that will ever be possible. But you….Go! Fly!”

 

Davis: “Uh…okay…”

 

Davis looks around and gulps before exiting the locker room.

 

Sharper: “Samuel Davis faces Sarah Wolf, next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as Jessica Winters stands backstage in the SCW interview area.

 

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and I’m pleased to be joined at this time with SCW Hall of Famer, Christy Matthews. Christy…come join me here.”

 

Christy walks into the scene. The crowd cheers.

 

Winters: “Christy, last week, you came out and talked about how you wanted to get back to competing for the US Championship. You also mentioned you had an injury that prevented you from being in action at Taking Hold of the Flame and two weeks ago. You’ve yet to return to the ring, but a lot of people are wondering whether that’s all. US title situation has been clarified. Owen Lee will challenge Josh Hudson. Glory Braddock, whom you confronted last week, is teaming with Danny Darko tonight in his debut.”

 

Christy: “I don’t know what you’re looking for here to respond there.”

 

Winters: “Well I think I’ll ask a question that I’ve had several fans reach out to me to pass on to you. Since Lucas Knight was attacked and has since not been seen…his brother Jacob behind it. He left when Lucas left SCW too. You’ve been largely stepping up to help others. You lost the US Title and seemed to be happy to move on for a moment. But are you struggling to figure out live after the Order of Chaos again?”

 

Christy looks down and nods.

 

Christy: “I don’t have a good answer to that Jessica. Lucas and I teaming again was in many ways a shock for us but it felt so right and it was ended just like that. Add then Lucas getting attacked by his brother, losing the Underground Championship…I lost the US Championship to Spencer Pryce…can we even mention him? Is he worth mentioning when he clearly was too immature for his own good. But…I focused on doing the right thing. Helping people I called friends.”

 

Winters: “Making up for being unable to help Lucas?”

 

Christy bites her lip a bit as she wanted to say something else.

 

Christy: “I’m fine, Jessica. I just felt I’d help friends. And now with them moving on to their own issues, no longer needing someone to watch their back…or needing an ally for their wars, I can focus on what I want. Simple as that. And what I want…it’s to get my US title rematch. So I’m going to do what I can to earn that opportunity and whether it’s Josh Hudson or Owen Lee, they better be looking out for me.”

 

Winters: “Thanks for your time, Christy.”

 

Christy nods and heads off.

 

Winters: “Back to ringside.”

 

The scene cuts to the ring.


Sarah Wolf vs. Samuel Davis

“One Shining Moment” by Luther Vandross plays as the crowd roars a bit. A few moments pass before we see Samuel Davis walking out from the back alone. Davis looks a bit nervous as he looks around. Samuel Davis then shakes his head and turns back, leaning on the metal border of the curtain. He takes a moment before turning around and taking a few deep breaths. He then starts to walk down to the ring, his eyes darting around.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, from the Haüs of Nirvana, he is Samuel Davis!”

 

Samuel reaches the ring and grabs the bottom rope. He then stops and looks around. He then actually gives the sign of the cross, before pulling himself into the ring. He then walks around the ring, pacing more than anything.

 

Sharper: “Samuel Davis out here alone as the Brand is focusing more on the World Tag Team Championship match tonight.”

 

Knots: “I don’t think he’s going to make it, but he has to. He has to stand up and do it for himself. He has to find those self-motivational techniques too!”

 

Sharper: “You do realize who he’s facing.”

 

Knots: “Oh yeah. This is going to be a slaughter.”

 

“When I Am Queen” by Jack Off Jill plays as the lights dim. Davis starts to yell to turn the lights back on. Davis looks around and then drops down to the floor. He backs up and to the barricade. He looks around as he backs away from the ring and over to the corner of the ringside area. He then looks around, but failing to look behind him as we see Sarah Wolf slowly walking up behind him.

 

Sharper: “Look behind you Sammy!”

 

Knots: “Wait! Don’t! If you don’t see it, she’s not real!”

 

Lyman: “That’s not how reality works!”

 

Phillips: “His opponent, from Nowhere….she is Sarah Wolf.”

 

Davis looks around.

 

Davis: “Why are you announcing her-“

 

Wolf then grabs him from behind by his extensions. She climbs over the barricade and still with her death grip on him. She smirks before grabbing him and running him face first into the ringpost. Davis spins off to the floor.

 

Sharper: “He forget she comes from the crowd!”

 

Lyman: “And already into the ringpost goes Davis!”

 

Davis starts to get up, reaching out for anything to help. Davis just stalks him before grabbing him again by the hair. Davis however elbows her in the jaw. He rolls into the ring and Davis turns, touching her lip. Davis backs up as Wolf slides into the ring. She slowly gets up. Davis gets up too and referee Jennifer Cassidy calls for the bell to start the match. The bell sounds.  Davis shakes his head no as drops down to the floor. Wolf runs after him. Davis backs up and starts to run around the ring. Wolf starts to run after him. (1) She stops though as Davis keeps running around, not looking behind him. (2) Wolf watches him and turns as Davis runs around the ring, doing a full lap. (3) He reaches the side where Wolf is and Wolf gets a brief running start before just drilling Davis in the chest with a hard single leg jump kick, both crashing to the mats. The crowd ohs. (4)

Sharper: “And Wolf waited…Davis is so rattled that Wolf just waited and drilled him!”

 

Lyman: “Just got a running start. A high kick to the chest and Davis is down!”

 

Wolf gets up, wincing a bit from the impact, as Davis rolls over in pain. (5) Wolf grabs him again and drags him up. (6) She rolls him into the ring. Davis rolls over as Wolf slides in. Davis starts to get up and Wolf watches him before kicking him in the ribs, nailing him with a hard right to the jaw. Davis turns and Wolf then steps up and hits a back kick to the back of his head. Davis falls to the mat. He crawls to the ropes and then rolls to the corner. He starts to pull himself up as Wolf walks over and kicks him in the ribs before grabbing the top rope and starting to go to town, kicking him over and over in the ribs, as he drops to a seated position.

 

Sharper: “Wolf is just decimating Davis.”

 

Knots: “This isn’t going to help his progress. Some on Sarah! Step back. Be better! Be a star!”

 

Cassidy calls for the break.

 

1!

 

2!

Wolf gets one more shot in the face and Davis’s head snaps back before rolling over. Wolf walks around the ring. The official reprimands her but Wolf ignores and walks over to Davis and grabs him by the head and pulls him up. He just drops to the mat through. Wolf looks down, grabbing him by the hair and jerking him up, but Davis then nails her with a hard right. Wolf is stunned by it and turns back and Davis hits a clumsy dropkick, knocking Wolf back. Davis then turns and moves to the ropes. Wolf gets up and crawls over and grabs his foot. Davis uses his free foot to kick her in the face and then the chest, but Wolf jerks him back in. He rolls through and grabs Wolf and attempts an inside cradle.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Wolf kicks out. Both get up and Wolf drills him with a palm strike. His knees go and he staggers.

 

Sharper: “Davis tried for a pin when the opportunity revealed itself-“

 

Knots: “Should’ve ran!”

 

Lyman: “And he’s out on his feet!”

 

Wolf then steps up and grabs him by the cheeks and pulls him in for the Exokiss. Davis tries to get free as Wolf holds it for a few moment before pulling away. She then looks at Davis before running her hand across her mouth and then steps up and locks in the Black Hand. The crowd roars as she pushes back on Davis. Davis falls to the mat, convulsing as Wolf keeps pushing down. We then see Where’s the Beef jogging down and looking at Wolf. Wolf keeps pressing down. Davis has his arm up, almost in desperation, but then it drops as he starts to pass out from the pain. The official checks on Davis before calling for the bell. The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Sarah Wolf!”

 

Wolf leans down on Davis for a bit longer before pulling off and then starting to get up.

 

Sharper: “Just dominant!”

 

Knots: “Well if the Farmstead Friends hoped that Wolf would be slowed by this…uh…try again.”

 

Davis rolls over as Where’s the Beef? shows some concern and enters the ring and goes over to him. Wolf looks around and walks around the ring as her music plays. She then turns and sees Where’s the Beef? She smirks as Where’s the Beef? looks up at Wolf. She then looks down and balls her fists before getting up, but before she can even act, Wolf just nails her with a hard right and then another and another. Where’s the Beef? staggers back to the corner as Wolf continues to follow up with hard right hands, Dolled Up. Where’s the Beef? tries to cover up but Wolf nails her over and over and over again. The bell sounds again as the official tries to get her to stop.

 

Sharper: “Wolf saw Where’s the Beef? Last week she and Davis tried to stop Wolf and Wolf hasn’t forgotten!”

 

Knots: “Where’s the Beef? may!”

 

Lyman: “She’s just bludgeoning her!”

 

Wolf gets a few more shots in as Where’s the Beef? slumps down to the mat. Wolf then finally steps off. She looks at her fist and then looks at Where’s the Beef? She glances back at Davis and smirks, satisfied with her show of violence. Wolf then steps over Davis and exits the ring. The official then checks on Where’s the Beef? Wolf then exits the ringside area by climbing over the barricade. She walks through the crowd before the scene cuts backstage.


Backstage, we see Katie Steward talking to Shaun Cruze.

 

Katie: “So…as I have now returned, and shown myself to be back at peak condition. I should have won the Taking Hold of the Flame, but I dispatched Gavin. And I’m fresh…”

 

Cruze: “What do you want Katie?”

 

Katie: “Easy. I mean if people can con themselves to a Tag Team Championship shot, I just want to remind you there’s one title I’ve not held….and that’s it.”

 

Cruze: “And you want me to put the Stewards there?”

 

Katie: “Of course. It seems easy enough and I won’t even have to go through the tactics of some people. Right TJ?”

 

TJ Johnson, who stands behind Katie, nods.

 

Cruze: “Well Katie…you’ve just come back and while Holly and GiGi Aries may have used questionable methods. They have beaten the champions in the past. And the challengers agreed to it. So either you get them to agree or you’ll have to earn your shot.”

 

Katie scoffs.

 

Katie: “Excuse me…earn my shot. Do you know who I am?”

 

Cruze: “I do Katie. And everyone has to earn their shot.”

 

Cruze turns and heads off as Katie scoffs and turns to TJ.

 

Johnson: “Unbelievable. You’ve already earned everything and more!”

 

Katie: “It’s fine…we’ll just have to continue to show everyone that their Goddess is here to take what she wants.”

 

Katie smiles as the scene fades to black.

Backstage, we see Lexy Chapel pacing in the locker room with Autumn Valentine, Dancing Bear and Hairless Penguin all inside. Lawyer Dog, a.k.a. Lionel Barkz, is napping in the corner.

 

Chapel: “Of course he’s napping. I…”

 

Penguin: “Well at least you’re not going to be a target for flaying!”

 

Autumn: “Just relax everyone.”

 

Penguin: “RELAX?!”

 

Penguin throws his arms up and walks off as Autumn turns to Lexy.

 

Autumn: “Lexy, let’s start with you. What’s on the phone? What are you worried about?”

 

Chapel: “Nothing! Nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about at all. I’ll call their bluff. Yeah! I’ll…okay, don’t worry about it, my lovely wife.”

 

Lexy looks right at the camera.

 

Lexy: “Nothing to worry about.”

 

She looks around as Autumn turns and sees the camera. She rolls her eyes and pushes the cameraperson out of the room.


Ace Sky vs. Deanna Frost

SCW Television Championship

 

A rocket drops from the top of the entrance set to the stage and there is a countdown voice over.

 

5!

 

4!

 

3!

 

2!

 

1!

 

“Eye In The Sky” by The Alan Parsons Project play as Ace Sky walks out in an aviator jacket and his usual in ring attire. He salutes a peace sign and jogs down the aisle way high-fiving as many fans as possible on both sides.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, the challenger, from Houston, Texas, he is Ace Sky!”

 

Ace Sky dashes forward and leaps upon the apron and flings himself in with a front flip followed by a series of three front handsprings and a rolling savate kick. He then looks around as Wolf sizes him up. He backs up to his corner, taking off his jacket and preparing for battle.

 

Sharper: “Ace Sky looking to rebound against a loss to Sarah Wolf. But this would be a hell of a rebound.”

 

Lyman: “Putting it mildly. Could walk out with some SCW gold after tonight. He just has to get through the new TV Champion and defeat her by pinfall or submission.”

 

The chords of "People Like Us" by Kelly Clarkson fill the arena, causing a roar from the audience as bright, fall leaves seem to blow and fly on the LED screens on and around the ramp. From the back curtain, out runs "The Queen's Guard" Deanna Frost, taking in the audience before running to the right side, then the left side, shouting to them in excitement. The 'leaves' follow her as she does. The SCW Television Championship sits around her waist. Returning to the middle, Deanna gives a spin on one foot, her arms outstretched, the 'leaves' circling her below her feet. 

Phillips: “His opponent, she is from Manhattan, New York, the SCW Television Champion, she is 'The Queen's Guard', Deanna Frost!”

Hearing her name, Deanna stops her spin, side facing the ring, and, with one hand over her heart, her free hand arcs around to point forward, the 'leaves' flying down the ramp and 'circling the ring LED barriers. Making her way down to the ring, Deanna high-fives fans along the way until she reaches the ring. Sliding under the ring, the Queen's Guard jumps to her feet, making her way to the middle ropes and leaning over them, one arm raised to the crowd. She does the same to the other sides of the ring.

On the last time, Deanna hops back into the ring as the lights return to normal. She takes off her TV Championship, handing it to the official, Steve Hollinsworth. Hollinsworth takes it and holds it over his head. The crowd roars as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and to the bottom corner. Hollinsworth hands off the title.

 

Sharper: “Deanna Frost making her first TV Title defense. Last week, she offered a title match to Adam Allocco. He declined but they fought in non-title action.”

 

Lyman: “And Adam got past her, but she has to reset. That could do a lot to mess with her and Ace Sky is still relatively new here in SCW.”

 

Knots: “An unknown and that can always surprise.”

 

The bell sounds. Ace and Deanna circle the ring. They lunge and push back on one another. Ace drops down and spins around her into a side headlock. He pulls back as Deanna gets him back to the ropes and fires him off. Ace bounces off and steps up and shoulders Deanna down. Ace turns and runs into the ropes. Deanna rolls toward him. Ace hops over and bounces off the other side. Deanna rolls across and Ace cartwheels over. Deanna gets up and Ace goes for a hip toss. Deanna blocks it. Ace nails her in the stomach and bends her over. Ace then places his leg on the back of her head and backflips back. He steps back and Deanna goes for a clothesline. Ace ducks and both run into the ropes. Deanna jumps up and goes high with a running leapfrog, as Ace somersaults under. Ace keeps going into the ropes and bounces off as Deanna steps up with a clothesline. She goes for the pin.

Ace kicks out and rolls over to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Deanna with a hard clothesline. That got everyone’s attention.”

 

Lyman: “Just the impact.”

 

Sharper: “You run hard like Ace and you add the opportunity for greater impact both ways.”

 

Ace starts to get up and Deanna runs over and clubs him in the back and hits a forearm shot. Ace winces and Deanna grabs him and wrenches the arm before jerking on it. She then pulls him into a short-arm clothesline. Ace rolls over and starts to get up, moving to the corner. Deanna follows up and Ace kicks her in the ribs and then leans back, shoving her back with his boots. Deanna rolls back. Ace runs out and hits a running European uppercut. Deanna rolls through. Ace then runs at her and hits a running dropkick. Deanna falls to the corner. Ace gets up and moves over and climbs up to the middle rope. He hits a hard right and then another and another. He then backflips back and Deanna suddenly runs at him and hits a clothesline. The crowd ohs. Ace rolls over and gets up and turns as Deanna kicks him in the ribs and then hits a knee lift. Ace falls to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Ace getting too flashy there. Deanna just using those strikes to get the advantage back.”

 

Knots: “Back to the ropes too. Good place for Ace if he can’t get going.”

 

Deanna turns and head over to Ace. Ace hits a back elbow. He then jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a moonsault. Deanna dodges. Ace lands on his feet and spins around and Deanna runs at him and hits a dropkick. Ace rolls through to the ropes. He starts to get up and Deanna snapmares him over and runs across the ring. She bounces off and nails Ace with a diving twisting back elbow. The crowd ohs. Deanna goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ace kicks out. Deanna rolls off as Ace rolls over. Deanna grabs him and pulls him back and then hits a neckbreaker. Deanna turns and moves to the ropes. She jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a lionsault, but Ace gets his knees up. Deanna falls back, holding her ribs. Ace then gets up and looks at Deanna as she starts to stir and Ace then runs at her and jumps up and into a flying headscissors, taking Deanna through the ropes to the floor. Ace remains in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Deanna sent to the floor.”

 

Knots: “There the flashy offense helps. And he’s got ideas. He’s got hops!”

 

Ace runs across the ring as Deanna gets up on the floor. (1) She turns to the ring. (2) Ace bounces off and dives over the top rope with a somersault plancha to the floor and onto Deanna. The crowd roars. (1)

 

Sharper: “Over the top! Flip dive and right on target!”

 

Ace Sky rolls over and winces and starts to get up. (2) He walks over to Deanna and pulls her up and turns and rolls her into the ring. (3) He then pulls himself onto the apron. Deanna rolls over and Ace grabs the top rope and slingshots into the ring with an elbow drop. The crowd ohs. He dives onto Deanna for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Deanna gets her shoulder up. Ace rolls off. He turns and looks at Deanna as she starts to get up and Ace jumps up and hits a jump kick to the jaw. Deanna staggers back and Ace turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and jumps up onto the shoulders of Deanna, but Deanna falls back and Ace hits the top rope throat first. He pops back and rolls over. He then staggers up as Deanna gets up and grabs him only to hit the Spring Fling DDT. Ace lands on the top of his head and flips through to a seated position only to drop to his side.

 

Sharper: “Deanna spikes him with the Spring Fling.”

 

Lyman: “Right on the top of the head! Just the impact!”

 

Sharper: “Deanna made sure to get all of it and Ace Sky may be out!”

 

Deanna turns and hooks the leg.

 

1!

Ace gets his shoulder up. Deanna rolls off. She looks around as Ace rolls over, holding his head and neck. Deanna pulls him up and then hits a swinging neckbreaker. Deanna turns and pulls herself up to her feet and exits to the apron. She then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. Deanna steadies herself and then positions herself, but Ace gets up and runs over and jumps up and hits a frankensteiner, jumping from the mat and hooking Deanna’s head and taking her over. The crowd ohs. Ace crawls over and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Deanna gets her shoulder up. Ace rolls off.

 

Sharper: “Amazing agility! Amazing air. But only two!”

 

Knots: “And he’s got to figure out something else now.”

 

Deanna stirs as Ace gets up and grabs her and clubs her in the back and elbows her in the back of the head. He hits a shoot kick to her chest and Deanna pops back and falls into the ropes. Ace turns and runs across the ring. He bounces off and Deanna suddenly steps out and hits a vicious sweep, causing Ace to flip forward and bounce off the ropes before dropping to the mat. The crowd ohs. Ace slowly starts to get up and Deanna walks over to him and grabs him by the head and hooks her own head before grabbing his leg and spinning Ace Sky down with the Red Sunset. The crowd ohs as Ace Sky folds up. Deanna dives onto him and presses down on his legs for the pin.

The crowd roars as the bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and still SCW Television Champion, Deanna Frost!”

 

Sharper: “And Deanna Frost holds on and defeats Ace Sky to succeed in her first defense!”

 

Knots: “Just planted him on his head. That’s one way to do it.”

 

Lyman: “And a nice rebound for Deanna from last week.”

 

Ace Sky rolls over as Deanna gets up. She gets up and takes a moment before the official comes over with the SCW Television Championship and hands it to her. Deanna holds it over her head as the official raises her arm. The crowd looks on cheering her as Deanna takes a moment to enjoy her successful defense before we cut away.


Backstage, Jaina Lancaster stands with Beard in the interview area.

 

Jaina: “Beard, last week – you had an opportunity to become Adrenaline Champion. You came very close, but didn’t win. But Cid Turner said something to you before he left and…we’re curious. What was that?’

 

Beard: “That’s between him and me man. It was a bit of a moment. A moment after everything the last few weeks. To ruining his wedding to making a terrible mistake and well…he told me it would be okay and well….I wish I was holding the Adrenaline Title now, but that’s not the way it went.”

 

Jaina: “Meanwhile, The One also wasn’t victorious, but she has had eyes on you. We assumed and any thoughts about that.”

 

Beard: “Look, I don’t know what her deal is. I’m just trying to do my thing here. Trying to get by, make my name, try to set up things to give my family some stability. And just get better in that ring. I don’t know what her issue is, but she choked out Clammy. And that’s just not cool. She cost herself a win so she’s not all there and-“

 

Beard turns and looks off camera.

 

Beard: “What’s your problem, man? Now you’re just eyin’ me.”

 

The camera pans back as The One walks into view. The One looks at Beard, clearly sizing him up. Jaina turns to her.

 

Jaina: “The One here…and…could we get a comment or-“

 

The One grabs the microphone and takes it away from Jaina. She looks at Beard.

 

The One: “You think I made a mistake last week. No…I just showed you your future. As for why? Because you were chosen.”

 

The One thrusts the microphone back at Jaina. Jaina takes it as The One walks off. Beard looks confused.

 

Beard: “What the hell does that mean?! Why me?!”

 

Beard looks around as Breakdown cuts to commercial.

Backstage we see Jenni Anderson talking to Lester Damron.

 

Anderson: “Now I hope you appreciated the payment in good faith last week.”

 

Damron: “It was great. The kid wanted to get his hands on her.”

 

Anderson: “Tonight, we get it again. And while I know this is a bit more of a partnership and yes, I will pay you handsomely. Our agreement, again, in a sign of good faith, will start after this week. Then we start to go for the Tag Team Championship.”

 

Damron: “That’s what you want. Tsunami will help you get there. As for tonight, I make one request.”

 

Anderson: “Name it. I want to make sure there’s some trust in this partnership.”

 

Damron: “When it comes to Glory, tonight, stay out of his way. Let him get it out.”

 

Anderson: “Done. Pleasure doing business with you.”

 

Anderson then pulls out an envelope and hands it to Lester Damron. Damron looks at it, opening the flap and looking in.

 

Damron: “Same.”

 

Damron heads off as Jenni smiles.


BELIEVE IT!

The SCW Universe are on their feet as “Kings and Queens” by Ava Max as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe, the SCW World Championship around her waist.

 

Sharper: “Later tonight, we will see Selena Frost facing Owen Lee. But she wants to share some thoughts with our fans.”

 

Lyman: “Last week, Deanna Frost and Adam Allocco had a hell of a contest, but one thing that we saw from ringside was how Adam intentionally limited his offense.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. She learned he has the basics down!”

 

Selena Frost walks down to the ring. She high-fives a few young fans hands as she walks over to the steel steps. She then walks up them and walks along the apron. She looks around before stepping into the ring. She straightens her title as she turns and goes over to the corner, asking for a microphone from Jason Phillips. Phillips hands her one as Selena turns and walks over to the middle of the ring. The music fades out as the crowd cheers a bit, although some boos come through. Selena looks around.

 

Selena: “Well True Believers…I know you’re expecting me out in this ring later tonight when I face Owen Lee in our main event…”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Selena: “But I figured I needed to come out here and get a few things off my chest. Because last week we saw the number one contender come out here and face my wife in singles action. She brought her best and yet, Adam Allocco decided to come out here and slap all of you in face by giving you a limited moveset and all to prove some point to me.”

 

Selena chuckles.

 

Selena: “I’ve been out here talking about integrity for months now. The integrity of this championship – it represents the best. Period. Not who can take short-cuts to get there, but who can compete at the top of their skills and win, consistently. It is a symbol of excellence and one I try to live up to every day. First by giving the respect to my opponent across from me by fighting them at my best…and then also giving all of you, all of the fans of SCW, a match they paid to see. You paid to see the best wrestlers in the world. And Adam Allocco slapped you all in the face by coming out here with his four moves of doom.”

 

Selena shrugs.

 

Selena: “All to play some mind games. So here we go again?”

 

Selena shakes her head.

 

Selena: “Well Adam, while you’re doing that, and don’t get me wrong, for you to compete against Deanna and still win despite your limited moveset…I know exactly what you’re showing. You’re on top of your game…Well, tonight, I’m going to give you a full show. I’m going to give these fans one and against one wrestler who I know will be proving himself because that’s what he’s vowed to do since returning. See Adam, I don’t need to hide anything. Because you can watch all of the film, I will still come at you and find some way to give you something new. I will still find some way to overcome you. And frankly, all that last week proved is that I was right not to shake your hand two weeks ago. Because you don’t deserve the respect in this ring, regardless of what you’re capable of. Because you don’t have integrity. You’re just like the rest-“

 

The rough guitar chords of 'Wired' by JJ Wilder strike the sound system. Adam Allocco steps out as Selena turns to the entrance way. Allocco mockingly claps as he starts to walk down to the ring in a suit.

 

Sharper: “Adam Allocco hearing Selena and deciding to confront her again.”

 

Knots: “This should be fun.”

 

Allocco walks down to the ring and then points his finger at Selena before walking around the ring. He walks over to Jason Phillips who hands him a microphone. Allocco turns and takes it walking to the steel steps. He walks up them and along the apron before stepping into the ring.

 

Allocco: “Finish your thought, Selena? Finish your self-righteous rant!”

 

Selena: “Nah, you know what I think about you.”

 

Allocco: “What? That you’re pissed off because I worked smarter, not harder? In fact, I probably worked harder. Unless you’re going to come out here and say that Deanna shouldn’t have been in the ring with me? To take on our Television Champion, in front of the world, and use only a fraction of my movelist to beat her. To know how to deploy it to its greatest effectiveness.”

 

Selena just shakes her head, smirking.

 

Selena: “Nice try, Adam. I even said that there’s skill there but-“

 

Allocco: “But what, Selena? I won’t preen to these fans out here and give them a show. We’re professional wrestlers. We win. We lose. And sometimes people cheer for us. And yeah, yeah, I know…the fans here pay for their tickets. We need to make them happy. Give them a show. It’s a privilege that we can come into this ring and get paid to put on a show in combat sport! Remember, Selena, I’ve promoted. I know the schtick!”

 

Allocco looks right at Selena.

 

Allocco: “But while you bitch about integrity, where have I not had it? Two weeks ago, I came out and called it as it is. I’m an asshole. I will ALWAYS be an asshole. I’m also a promoter. SCW can promote my rise from the dead. Great. But I’m a professional wrestler and one that still has much left to do. All of this is what I said. And I’m coming for that title. The World Championship. Your championship.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Allocco: “And yeah, it represents the best in the sport. But you know what else it represents? History. I can hold the title after my son did. Winning it too at Rise to Greatness. It’s also $100 000 a month. What? Don’t like that I make it that straight-forward. It’s $100 000 a month. Money I can use to rebuild my life after pissing half of it away through addiction. Just like I’m sure you’re using the money to care for your kids.”

 

Selena: “Damn right I am. The difference…the priorities. To me…it’s not just about winning or losing. It’s about representing something for them.”

 

Selena points to the fans.

 

Selena: “And it doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.”

 

Allocco: “Who gives a damn Selena? What? Fine…I’ll make this simple.”

 

Allocco turns to the crowd.

 

Allocco: “Screw you all! You like me. Great. Want to see me succeed? Great! Want me to die in a fire? Fine! And here’s the best part, Selena…while you talk about giving the fans a show, I damn sure am. They don’t like the fact that I’m who I am, that just because I hit rock bottom, I won’t now act like I’ve seen God and turn over a new leaf? They can now spend their hard earned money to watch Rise to Greatness hoping you’ll kick my ass!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Allocco: “And if you fail, they’ll cheer the next challenger and the next and the next. While I roll in the money. And Selena…best of all, I can play my role by still being the best in this ring. Being the King of HardStyle…the Renaissance Man. And being the World Champion. So it’s not how you’d do it? But tell me where I’ve misled anyone about who the hell I am, Selena?”

 

Selena looks at Allocco.

 

Allocco: “I’m a man who has come back from hell and is on top of the world. And you’re in my way. You want to say last week was mind games. No…it was a message. That I will walk out World Champion. And I’m not giving you any chance to stop that if I can help it!”

 

Selena: “Well Adam…I won’t need the help. I hope you’re still going to join Owen and I at ringside tonight. Because I’ll show you everything. Because while you’re going to be the asshole…I’ll just step up and be the bitch that knows they are that good in the ring. That’s confidence. And all you’ve told me…I need to make sure you don’t walk out with this. Because you’re no champion I’d want to see…getting their ass kicked or not.”

 

Selena pauses and looks down for a moment before looking up at Adam.

 

Selena: “You know…I’m not the biggest sport fan, but I’ve heard people complain about when championship teams sit players late in the season. Well, that’s you. Not trying to lose, but well, yeah, you win. Great. You were supposed to, right. But I’m the champions that play every game to win. And at Rise to Greatness…well…BELIEVE IT!”

 

Selena flips the microphone out of her hand. “Kings and Queens” plays as Selena turns and exits the ring. Adam Allocco just smirks and watches her exit. Selena drops down and heads to the back.

 

Sharper: “Two individuals who have very different views on this sport.”

 

Knots: “And every week, it’s just getting more and more personal as they collide at Rise to Greatness XIX!”

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost will follow her talk by walking the walk later against Owen Lee. Adam Allocco plans to watch from ringside. And we’ll see what happens there.”

 

Selena heads to the back as Allocco turns and tosses his microphone back to Phillips as the scene cuts away.

We cut to a shot of Steve Griffin hitting a top rope decimator on CHBK from Rise to Greatness 2003, before cutting to a shot of Alistaire Allocco proudly holding the SCW World Championship and then showing a shot of Kelcey Wallace, Trinity Street and Lucas Knight standing over Ravyn Taylor and Kennedy Street at another Rise to Greatness event.

 

“This is your Rise to Greatness Rewind.”

 

The scene opens in the ring at Rise to Greatness 2020. We see Selena Frost in the ring as she and Regan Street face Kandis and Tommy Valentine. Selena falls back and into the Frozen Hell corner. Regan grabs at the ropes and pulls herself up and tags herself in. Tommy and Kandis use this to reset Kandis’ time in the ring and both grab Regan and drag her through the ropes. Kandis and Tommy then kick her in the ribs. Selena rolls to the apron. Tommy then places Regan’s head between his legs and looks around. Kandis turns and moves to the corner. She pulls herself up to the middle rope. Tommy then looks around and lifts Regan up for a powerbomb and turns to her his back to Kandis. Kandis smiles as she stands up and just then, Selena lunges along the apron and nails Kandis in the side of the head with the Glass Shard! The crowd erupts in cheers.

 

Sharper: “Glass Shard! Selena Frost finding the opening and Kandis sent to the floor.”

 

Knots: “She’s out!”

 

Kandis falls over the top rope and down to the floor. Regan then hits a frankensteiner. Tommy rolls through. He gets up and Regan slowly gets up and turns and looks at Tommy as Tommy turns and Regan blasts him with the WTH. Tommy staggers and turns and toward the ropes where Selena is. Selena then sidesteps before hitting another Glass Shard, managing to catch Tommy in the jaw.

 

Sharper: “Freeze! Or! Burn!”

 

Tommy turns and Regan grabs him and hits the CATastrophe for good measure! The crowd erupts in cheers and Regan quickly turns and rolls him over and hooks the leg. Selena enters the ring.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd erupts in cheers as Regan rolls off and moves to her knees. Selena turns and dives onto her, hugging her from behind.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW World Tag Team Champions, Regan Street and Selena Frost, Frozen Hell!”

 

Sharper: “Frozen Hell have done it! They’re the new World Tag Team Champions and Regan Street joins Selena Frost and her husband David as a Supreme Champion!”

 

Knots: “It looked like the Connection had it. They divided and were trying to conquer, but Selena held on. She held on and held on, so Regan could get in there.”

 

Regan Street and Selena Frost get up and Demitra hands them both the SCW World Tag Team Championship and Selena her US Championship. He then raises their arms as the crowd cheers. Regan Street walks around the ring, a tear in her eye, as she yells out “Yes!” over and over as Selena walks over and hugs her again. Regan then looks around and holds the title over her head. Kandis starts to get up on the floor as Tommy rolls over and staggers over to her. Kandis looks in with anger as Tommy, holds his jaw in pain. Regan and Selena continue to celebrate.

 

The Rise to Greatness XIX logo comes up on the screen.


The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena.

Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show

And the song continues...

The crowd cheers as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, standing in a suit, he looks out at the crowd. He’s not playing to them as usual. Instead, he stoically scans the crowd before starting to head to the ring.

Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa

He reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps and stands on the apron. He takes a moment, walking along it before wiping his feet, and then entering the ring. He looks around as he walks over to the corner, motioning to Jason Phillips.

 

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor joining us here. We’re not sure why.”

 

Knots: “Not a good couple of months for him.”

 

Lyman: “Lost his tag partner, lost the tag championship, and he’s on a losing streak. And many thought that the All-Star was turning a corner after Trios. He and Nicole were on the tip of everyone’s tongues and things shift. Ravyn Taylor to blame in part there.”

 

Phillips hands Gavin a microphone and Gavin Taylor walks back to the middle of the ring. He looks around as the music fades out. A “Gavin!” chant begins as Gavin Taylor looks around. He nods for a few moments, enjoying the reaction.

 

Gavin: “Thanks for that, but I don’t think I deserve it.”

 

Gavin looks around.

 

Gavin: “I just wanted to come out here and say a piece before allowing this show to continue. I understand next is the World Tag Team Championship match and well, there’s some poetic justice there with that being next when that’s the last title I held and frankly was one reason I’m standing here.”

 

Gavin pauses.

 

Gavin: “I should holding gold.”

 

Gavin pauses.

 

Gavin: “Now, now, don’t chalk that up to me being arrogant. I’m not like some people running around here demanding title shots or what not. I’m not going to turn to the dark side and attack a friend to get there, showing the addiction of it. Nothing of the sort. That’s just a statement I believe. I think I’m pretty good. I mean I’m the All-Star, the Franchise Player, the Real-World Jedi, Wrestling’s Kwisatz Haderach, the Obscenely Naturally Talented….the History-Maker….Canada’s…and Australia’s…favourite wrestler!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Gavin: “At least that’s what I claimed. Look, losing streaks happen. I get it. We’re human, blah, blah, blah. But I started this year actually making history….teaming with someone who is now a friend in Nicole Kinneck, and having one of the weirdest title runs in wrestling history! And that’s all gone. I could keep helping Nicole, but she wants to fight her own battle. I could ask for one more match against Ravyn Taylor…but I’m not ready for that. She’s in my head. And I stand here…two weeks removed from helping Syren against Katie Steward. Katie Steward... and Syren. Actual legends!”

 

Gavin pauses again as he looks up.

 

Gavin: “I’ll tell you exactly what I was doing. I was helping Syren. Heck…my Canadian was showing. Lyman out there said maybe I’m just a good guy. And that’s not something that many people said about me. Me! Gavin Taylor!”

 

Gavin stops again.

 

Gavin: “Then I lost to Katie Steward in her first match back. And after Syren came to talk to me and yeah…I planned to call out Syren. What a better way to try and get back to where I think I should be is to just face one of the best. No…not to use as a stepping stone. Not try to take them out. Just compete. And face the best…and try to win!”

 

Gavin leans on the top rope.

 

Gavin: “That won’t be happening. I shouldn’t be in the ring with a Hall of Famer. Not right now. I was the All-Star, the Franchise Player, the Real-World Jedi, Wrestling’s Kwisatz Haderach…But right now, I’m just Gavin Taylor.”

 

Gavin stops.

 

Gavin: “And maybe Gavin Taylor won’t be competing at Rise to Greatness. And maybe that’s deserved. Maybe that’s a bit of karma for what I’ve done in the past. Maybe I’ve just coasted. Maybe, maybe, maybe….Maybe-“

 

We then see Syren walking down from the back, microphone in her hand. The crowd roars as Syren walks down to the ring.

 

Syren: “Maybe you need to stop.”

 

Gavin turns as the crowd roars as Syren walks over to the steel steps and then walks up onto the apron. She walks along it and then steps into the ring.

 

Gavin: “Syren, look-“

 

Syren: “No. I called you out last week. I wondered if this was just some way to get to Ravyn through me. And maybe I was wrong. But frankly, too many people have been coming at me seeing me as nothing more than their ticket to the top. You said something…last week and again now.”

 

Syren looks at Gavin.

 

Syren: “You said you just wanted to face me. You wanted to face the best and test yourself, because that’s what we do.”

 

Gavin nods.

 

Syren: “Well Gavin…while you’re having your pity party…something I know far too much about because every loss feels like the end of the world. It’s what great talent does….but I’m frankly sick of people like Katie, like Ace, like Matt Hodges, like Asher Hayes…who saw me as someone to be taken out or someone to get them to a title shot. We all want title shots. I know damn well I want one. I was this close to having it at Rise to Greatness. See, Gavin…maybe we have a lot more in common. We both didn’t get exactly what we want.”

 

Syren shrugs.

 

Syren: “But I’ll happily take a match where I can just wrestle and prove how damn good I am in this ring. And it sounds like closer to what you wanted. So Gavin…I’ll put it this way…you were the All-Star, the Franchise Player, Canada’s Favourite Wrestler…Be them again. Because Gavin…I’ll face you at Rise to Greatness. While everyone is looking to send messages, flay Penguins, take titles, speak on integrity…I feel like wrestling.”

 

Syren looks at Gavin.

 

Syren: “And you can wrestle. And I want you to prove it. To them, to me…and to yourself. Because here’s what I’m offering Gavin. Find the All-Star. Because I want him for 30 minutes, Ironperson Match!”

 

The crowd roars. Syren looks at Gavin and extends her hand. Gavin looks at Syren and even says “You sure?” Syren nods. Gavin then looks at Syren’s hand.

 

Sharper: “Syren extending her hand to Gavin Taylor.”

 

Knots: “We’ve not seen a lot of respect so far in the run up to Rise to Greatness.”

 

Lyman: “Gavin’s feeling down, but Gavin/Syren for thirty minutes could be a classic!”

 

Gavin then shakes Syren’s hand. The crowd roars. Syren leans in and says something to Gavin as Gavin says something back. She then steps back, letting go as “Groupie” plays throughout the arena. Syren turns and steps through the ropes. She places the microphone on the apron and drops down to the floor. She then starts to head to the back as Gavin nods.

 

Knots: “Well Gavin, you better find the All-Star. He’s going to be needed at Rise to Greatness!”

 

Sharper: “Syren’s going to bring it all. She wants to be World Champion again. But I think she’s realized something. She’s going to have to take on any and all and Gavin Taylor is going through similar things she has. Times where it feels she’s rudderless. And we’re now going to see two very talented people square off in a match for endurance!”

 

Gavin looks up at Syren as Syren heads to the back. She turns around and points at him before turning back and heading to the back.



“The Old Me” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still of the Happy Farmstead Friends vs. The Holly Adams Brand, Trademarked for the World Tag Team Championship.

 

Sharper: “We go from a match about wrestling to a match that was conned. The World Tag Team Titles on the line. The Happy Farmstead Friends defend against Holly Adams and GiGi Aries, next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

The Holly Adams Brand (Holly Adams & Giovanni “GiGi” Aries) vs. The Happy Farmstead Friends (Hairless Penguin & Dancing Bear)

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

*Yes Bitch*
*Yes Bitch*
*Yes Bitch*
*SLAY*


The intro from “W FACE” by Kumi Koda quickly fades out as we suddenly hear the voice of Giovanni “GiGi” Aries.

 

*“For 5 EASY Payments of 29.99!”*

“Boss Bitch” by Doja Cat comes in full force around the arena as The Housewives of Beverly Hills camera crew back out onto the stage while Holly Adams steps up onto the stage, spinning into place at the top of the ramp flanked by a smiling Giovanni “GiGi” Aries dressed in white tunic and white pants. Datura slowly walks out and looks around. The crowd boos some more. Holly Adams poses with her hand on her hip and her other hand high in the air as she pageant waves to the booing crowd. She starts down the ramp toward the ring with GiGi in tow, who reaches into his pants pocket to give out business cards to random fans along the rampway while Datura walks alongside him.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! First, the challengers, accompanied by Datura, it is the team of Holly Adams and GiGi Aries, they are the Holly Adams Brand, trademarked!”

Holly starts to sing along with her theme song, looking directly into the camera closest to her. GiGi dances along in the background as she flashes a million-dollar smile before putting her hand on the camera and pushing it away and she gets into the ring. GiGi hands a small stack of business cards to Cookie, who smiles and nods before starting to hand them out to fans at ringside while GiGi jumps up on the opposite side of the ring apron from Holly. He extends his arms outward as he throw more business cards out among the crowd and yells:

 

“FOLLOW ME TO A WONDERLAND OF SALVATION!!!!”


He then looks at the camera and says, “For Only 5 Payments of 29.99,” before he cackles out then flips back into the ring. Datura walks around the ring. Meanwhile, Holly grabs the top rope, bends down, and then snaps back quickly, flipping her blonde hair over her head, smiling brightly for the cameras. GiGi sits on the top turnbuckle while he continues to toss out business cards. Holly joins them in the corner and looks out to the crowd, once again pageant waving as the music begins to die down.

 

Sharper: “Holly Adams and GiGi Aries manipulated the Tag Team Champions to get this match. And look who is also with them!”

 

Knots: “Add Datura. No Samuel Davis. He may no longer be of this earth, but that’s fine. Holly Adams and GiGi Aries care about one thing…winning the titles.”

 

The crowd roars as jaunty and generic royalty free music begins to play throughout the arena. On the big screen, a unicorn gallops across a beautiful, flowery field, leaving petals exploding into the air underneath its hooves. It gets closer to the camera as it prepares to fly off, but not before evacuating its bowels, which take the form of letters in a bubble font, reading:

 

Lexy Chapel Presents 

HAPPY FARMSTEAD FRIENDS

 

From behind the curtain, Dancing Bear awkwardly moonwalks out onto the stage. Following close behind is Hairless Penguin, clad in his mask and a furry black and white coat that runs all the way to his feet, plus a moderately priced steel string guitar held over his shoulder. The two make their way to the center of the stage before Lexy Chapel makes her way out behind them, squeezing in between them to take her place on center stage. She physically and literally presents them with her arms at her sides. Hairless Penguin poses stoically while Dancing Bear flosses. After a moment of fantastical posing, they begin to make their way down the ramp. They hold their World Tag Team Championship belts.

 

Phillips: “Their opponents, accompanied by Lexy Chapel, from the Happy Farmstead, they are the SCW World Tag Team Champions, the team of the Dancing Bear and the Hairless Penguin, the Happy Farmstead Friends!”

 

Lexy barks at Dancing Bear to keep dancing as he jigs down the ramp with Hairless Penguin playing guitar along to the royalty free music. Hairless Penguin makes his way up the steps and into the ring, holding his guitar into the air. Behind him, Dancing Bear struggles to get into the ring because he's in an oversized suit, but he eventually gets there. Lexy takes her place on the outside of the ring, searching for the nearest child to remind them to tell their parents to buy some Happy Farmstead Friends merchandise. Hairless Penguin hands his furry coat and guitar off to the timekeeper before taking his place in the corner. Dancing Bear comes along and puts his arm around Hairless Penguin as their royalty free music begins to fade. Penguin takes their titles and hands them to the official, Aaron Demitra. Lexy just scowls at Holly as Holly holds her hand up and turns and talks to GiGi. The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen.

 

Sharper: “And let’s not forget that we started today with GiGi threatening Lexy over the contents of her phone. Presumably the Brand did have it when they took it from her a few weeks ago.”

 

Lyman: “Just adds another layer to this tag match. And Sarah Wolf, Kimberly Williams, they’re both here.”

 

Sharper: “You can already see Hairless Penguin wanting to start this match quickly.”

 

Penguin steps up and tells Demitra to hurry as GiGi walks over to him and tries to tell him to calm down. Penguin looks around, eyes darting, as Bear gets to the apron. Demitra steps back and calls for the bell. Aries keeps trying to talk to Penguin who suddenly nails GiGi with a hard right and then spins around him into a sloppy school boy.

 

1!

 

Aries kicks out. Penguin dives onto him and pushes him over and into a lateral press.

 

1!

 

Aries kicks out again. Both get up and Penguin nails him in the ribs before then having an idea. He then drops down and goes for a blatant low blow, but Aries reaches down, blocking it. Penguin looks up at him. Aries just looks at him as Demitra warns Penguin. Aries starts to preach as Penguin pleads.

 

Sharper: “Penguin was going for the quick DQ!”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Right now, he’s not got anyone to protect him if someone wants to flay him. I mean, he’s got Bear, but let’s face it…Bear’s more than likely to run too!”

 

Sharper: “Aries blocking it and Penguin is pleading with him!”

 

Aries then steps over and wrenches the arm. Penguin yells out and Aries headbutts him in the shoulder before nailing him with a hard right. Penguin staggers back and Aries hits a Mongolian chop, knocking him down. Penguin rolls over and crawls to the ropes. He starts to get up and Aries hits a big chop. The crowd ohs from the impact before Aries kicks him in the ribs. He then spins him around and into the Brand corner.

 

Sharper: “Aries just slowly working over Penguin. Clearly they’re happy to use the fear in their favour.”

 

Knots: “Unless they take the easy way out to disqualify themselves!”

 

Holly tags in and Aries holds Penguin back. He tries to get free, struggling as Holly enters and kicks him in the ribs. She then grabs him and Aries does too and they hit a double snapmare. Penguin ends up on his back and Holly kicks him hard in the back. The crowd ohs. Holly goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Penguin kicks out. He rolls over and Holly gets up and looks at him.

 

Holly: “Hey dumbass! We pin you and this is over. You can run and hide!”

 

Penguin looks up at her as he looks at Bear. Lexy immediately yells back.

 

Chapel: “Enough of your mindgames she-devil!”

 

Holly: “Oh? Want us to blab?”

 

Chapel’s eyes widen as Datura looks on as Holly grabs Penguin, but Penguin nails her in the ribs and shoves her down. He rolls over to the corner and tags in Bear. Bear enters as Penguin gets up. Holly starts to get up and Bear runs at her. Holly ducks out of the way, backing away before turning to Penguin who jumps up with a clothesline. He rolls out of the ring. He nearly runs into Datura, before ducking away and apologizing and going back to his corner. Holly stirs as Bear turns and runs at her and jumps up and hits a splash. The crowd ohs. Bear stays on her for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Holly kicks out and rolls over, coughing and holding her nose. She turns back. Bear gets up and flosses briefly as Penguin climbs back onto the apron. He then closes his eyes as Bear then clubs Holly in the chest with a shot. She hits the mat and rolls over and gets up, moving to the ropes. Bear grabs her.

 

Sharper: “Bear just using his offense. His unique offense.”

 

Lyman: “We always talk about how GiGi’s offense is unorthodox. The Farmstead Friends are completely unorthodox.”

 

He whips her across the ring. Holly bounces off and Bear goes for a clothesline, but Holly ducks under and bounces off the other side and Bear turns only for Holly to hit a dropkick. Bear falls back. He rolls over as Penguin continues to look around the arena, clearly awaiting an attack. Holly turns and grabs Bear and stands over him and nails him with hard punches to the face. He covers up only for Holly to step off and stomp him over and over and over again in the chest. She steps back and walks around the ring. Bear rolls over and onto his hands and knees. Holly runs over and jumps up and lands on his back with a senton backsplash. She rolls him over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Bear kicks out. Holly rolls off. As she does, we see Cid Turner walking out from the back. He looks down at the ring and heads down. Holly gets up and walks forward to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Cid Turner now coming out here.”

 

Knots: “Thought he wanted nothing to do with this. Walked away from Cookie last week and Datura too!”

 

Lyman: “He’s out here now. I’d say second thoughts but even Holly is a bit confused.”

 

Holly walks to the ropes. Cid ignores her as Holly snaps at him. GiGi watches him as he walks around. Holly turns around as Bear and Penguin presumably have tagged one another and Bear lifts Holly up and Penguin jumps up and hits a running clothesline for a Hart Attack. Penguin dives for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Holly gets her shoulder up as Bear exits the ring. Cid meanwhile heads to Datura. Datura looks at him as Cid starts to talk to her a bit. GiGi watches before stepping down to talk to him. Holly rolls over as Penguin grabs Holly and then looks over at Cid.

 

Knots: “Hey! Wasn’t Penguin originally Cid?”

 

Lyman: “We’ve long debunked that potential claim.”

 

Knots: “Well they’re in the same place. Just for our slower viewers!”

 

Sharper: “Stop it! Penguin meanwhile working over Holly as GiGi Aries and Cid Turner now talking. Datura caught in the middle!”

 

Penguin sends Holly into the corner and shoulders her repeatedly. The camera cuts to GiGi, Cid and Datura.

 

Cid: “I’m not going to let you take advantage of her.”

 

Datura: “I just need help. Whoever can offer it. You walked off Cid. I-“

 

GiGi: “She wanted Nirvana. We are merely offering what you yourself said you couldn’t.”

 

Cid turns to Datura.

 

Cid: “I can’t let you stay with him. With her. You need someone to help you reach your potential and-“

 

Datura: “And you now will? What about last week?”

 

Cid doesn’t respond before we cut back to the ring. Holly manages to move out of the way from a Penguin running splash and he staggers out only for Holly to kick him in the ribs and hits a DDT. Holly turns and looks over at GiGi. Holly crawls over.

 

Holly: “GiGi!”

 

Cid turns to Datura. GiGi turns and climbs up as Holly tags him in. Holly rolls to the apron as Cid continues to try and convince Datura to go with him. GiGi enters as Penguin starts to get up and Aries runs and hits a swinging neckbreaker. He rolls over and into a pin.

 

1!

Bear enters and pulls him off. Aries rolls over and Bear looks at him. Aries smiles as Bear then swings. Aries ducks and turns and headbutts him. Bear staggers. Aries runs into the ropes and bounces off. Bear goes for a clothesline, but Aries ducks and spins around. Bear turns and Aries hits a dropkick. Bear falls over. Holly climbs down to the floor and stands between Cid and Datura.

 

Holly: “Cid! You’re in no position to help anyone. Starbucks came here to be with us! We can help. You know this is a business! Stop pretending you’re against that! Why we cut Asher!”

 

Cid turns away as Datura looks at Holly. Cid then looks up.

 

Cid: “Her name is Datura…or Liz…not Starbucks.”

 

Holly: “Whatever! We can help her and-“

 

Datura shoves Holly down as she turns to Cid. The crowd roars as Aries grabs Penguin in the ring, catching Penguin’s arms and trapping them before headbutting him repeatedly. Demitra focuses on that as Datura steps over Holly and turns to Cid. Cid then starts to walk off with Datura. The crowd roars. They head around the ring. GiGi then shoves Penguin down before stepping over to the ropes. Cid and Datura reach the ringside area. GiGi leans on the ropes.

 

Aries: “Are you sure he will help? There are many paths…I offer a different one….”

 

Datura stops and turns as Cid looks at him and then Datura.

 

Cid: “Liz…you-“

 

Aries steps to the apron. Just then, Penguin runs up behind and nails him hard. Aries falls forward and flips forward, into Cid, as Datura ducks.(1) The crowd ohs. Penguin falls back and rolls over. He looks around as Bear starts to get up in the corner. Penguin then gets up and crawls to the corner.(2) Datura turns and checks on Cid and then on GiGi as Holly walks over and looks at Datura.(3)

 

Holly: “What happened?”

 

Penguin however climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars as Penguin stands on the very top and looks down and then just dives off, arms wide, and lands on all four! The crowd erupts in cheers.(4)

 

Sharper: “Penguin! From the top!”

 

Lyman: “He’s wrestling the match of his life! He’s trying to do anything to win it faster! And right now, he saw a way to take everyone out!”

 

Knots: “Helps that Cid is distracting them. Worry about your personal problems after Cidnay!”

 

Penguin looks around as he stirs and turns and starts to grab not GiGi, the legal competitor, but Holly Adams.(5) Penguin takes her and drags her up and moves him to the ring. He then turns and looks at Cid before turning back and rolling into the ring. (6) He then gets up and grabs Holly and hits a scoop slam. He dives onto her for the pin. The official doesn’t count. Penguin looks up, confused as Bear has his arm out. Penguin gets up as the crowd roars. We then see Sarah Wolf now standing in the crowd. Bear sees her and points. The crowd roars as Penguin looks up and gulps. Wolf juts stoically remains in the ground, arms crossed. GiGi starts to get up on the floor. Cid turns and helps Datura up. GiGi steps between him and Datura and tells him to leave. Cid looks at Datura as Datura looks at him and then GiGi.

 

Sharper: “Cid trying to help Datura. GiGi Aries, the countout stopped.”

 

Knots: “Penguin had the wrong person in there!”

 

Sharper: “And look who is here! It’s Sarah Wolf. Just looking in the crowd!”

 

Lyman: “Penguin’s getting jumpy.”

 

Penguin turns and then goes to run, but trips over Holly. Penguin falls over as the crowd ohs. Bear drops down to the floor and runs over and goes to help Penguin as we see Wolf now climb over the barricade.

 

Sharper: “I think Wolf was waiting for this match to end, but with Penguin and Bear aware!”

 

Lyman: “She’s moving, Adam!”

 

Bear joins Lexy, even nearly knocking her out of the way as he reaches out, trying to help pull Penguin out. Holly holds onto Penguin though as Cid sees this. Wolf walks over to the ring and pulls herself onto the apron. She then enters the ring and starts to walk forward. Cid sees this and rolls into the ring. He then sees Holly holding onto Penguin and Bear as the official tells Wolf to leave. Wolf nails him with a hard right. Demitra goes down. Wolf then runs over and kicks at Penguin, nailing him over and over. Cid sees this and runs over and shoves Wolf back before turning to Holly and prying her arms off from Penguin. Penguin is pulled out by Bear, landing on him in a heap. Wolf turns and looks at Cid before pulling herself to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Wolf got some shots in. She just blasted Demitra!”

 

Knots: “Cid! What are you doing?!”

 

Sharper: “Cid saving Hairless Penguin!”

 

Knots: “It’s a bit on the nose to try to save yourself, Cid!”

 

Penguin scrambles up and Lexy looks at Bear. Penguin grabs her and turns her as Bear gets up. The three bolt as they head around the ring.

 

Sharper: “The Farmstead Friends are getting out of dodge!”

 

Knots: “They’ve left the titles!”

 

Wolf starts to chase after them. The three run up the ramp and to the back as the crowd roars. Cid looks at Holly as Holly looks at him.

 

Holly: “What the hell is your problem? We could’ve used this!”

 

Holly pushes back on Cid and rolls over. Cid turns to them.

 

Cid: “I’m not going to let them get destroyed by her-“

 

Holly starts to demand a microphone. GiGi and Datura talk on the floor as Wolf disappears to the back now at this point. The crowd boos a bit as Demitra gets up, calling for the bell. The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Fans, senior official Aaron Demitra has thrown this match out. Therefore, this match is a draw!”

 

The crowd boos as Holly crawls over, pushing Cid out of the way and demanding the microphone. Phillips walks over and hands her one. Holly takes it and turns back.

 

Holly: “Cid! We needed this! A clear win to show that the Brand can overcome everything. Especially everything we’ve been through the last few months, but your selfishness showed.”

 

Cid gets up and looks at Holly.

 

Holly: “Next week, we’re going to reevaluate your progress in the Brand. And maybe we’ll need to reevaluate the status of the Positive State too!”

 

The crowd ohs as Cid looks at Holly. Holly throws the microphone down and rolls to the floor, clearly upset. Cid looks around as he turns to GiGi Aries who is now leading Datura to the back. Cid watches her and steps forward as the scene fades out.


COMMERCIALS


Breakdown returns as Penguin, Bear and Chapel are running down the hallway. Chapel then stops.

 

Chapel: “The titles!”

 

Chapel turns to go back, but sees Sarah Wolf heading down the hallway. Chapel turns back and runs after Penguin and Bear as they quickly run into their locker room. They go in and slam the door. Wolf, no longer running, just stalks up to the door and looks at it. She turns and looks around before walking off.

 

Sharper: “Wolf tracking the Tag Team Champions to their locker room.”

 

Knots: “Well that was easy. She’s stopped by a door! I mean she doesn’t use the entrance. Doors may be too much for her-“

 

Sharper: “MY GOD!”

 

We then see Wolf back, swinging a fire axe at the door. The crowd ohs. She swings again and this time, gets it stuck in the door. She starts to pry it out as officials and security arrive on the scene.

 

Knots: “She nuts?!”

 

Lyman: “This is over the top! She’s taking an axe to their locker room door!”

 

Wolf tries to keep pulling the axe out and does. The guards and officials back up as she swings again, this time, cracking a hole in the door. We hear yells inside as the officials then again move in and this time, restrain her. Wolf is pulled back. Shaun Cruze appears on the scene as Wolf keeps focusing on the room.

 

Wolf: “I’m not done!”

 

Wolf tries to struggle but is overpowered by the group of security as they pull her back.

 

Cruze: “Get her out of here!”

 

Cruze points as Wolf is dragged off by security.


Kimberly Williams vs. Polly Playtime

 

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot and then the words “START GAME” show up on SCW’s Jumbotron.  A bunch of girls can be heard giggling before “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched begins to play.

The music plays for quite some time and it is not until it comes to the first chorus that Polly emerges from the backstage area wearing a frilly pink skirt and a very cute and fashionable strapless crop top that has black paw prints on it. She is carrying a personally made microphone, clearly wanting to make the world wait to see her. Colleen and Aisling walk out from behind wearing matching pantsuits. Polly heads to the ring as the crowd boos her. She reaches the ringside area. She walks up the steel steps and into the ring. Aisling and Collen walk around the ring. Polly hands over her personalized microphone to Jason Phillips and tells him to announce her using ONLY that microphone.  He looks at her and just shrugs before taking it.

Phillips: “Here she is ladies and gentlemen.  From Panguitch, Utah, she is the girl that just LOVES to play… Polly Playtiiiiime!”

Polly immediately snatches her microphone back away from him and nods, telling him “Good job,” before she heads to her assigned corner. It’s here that she begins to warm up for the upcoming matchup. Colleen and Aisling stand in her corner. Polly then turns around and informs them of what she wants them to do.

 

Sharper: “Polly Playtime has been coming out with a new more aggressive approach with her Playgirls. Last week even defeating Nicole Kinneck.”

 

Lyman: “She’s got skill. Just the attitude now…she’s getting purchase. She’s going to think that’s it. But she was making headway before. Sometimes you just need that break or to put it all together.”

 

The opening chords of Paranoid begin to play. Kimberly Williams steps out onto the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. The SCW Underground Championship is around her waist.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, the SCW Underground Champion, Kimberly Williams!”

 

She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it.  She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Kimberly then poses in the center of the ring to another loud reaction from the fans. The music slowly dies down and Kimberly goes to a corner to await the start of the match. She places her title in her corner.

 

Sharper: “Kim Williams already busy tonight. Now she’s going to have some fun.”

 

Knots: “Does she want to play a game?”

 

Sharper: “Always it seems.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. I don’t know what to expect here!”

 

The bell sounds as Kim looks at Polly. Polly watches her and Kim walks around before the two step up and lock up in the middle of the ring. Kim turns into an arm wrench. Kim jerks on it as Polly winces. Kim pulls up on the arm and pushes her into the ropes. She fires her off. Polly bounces off and Kim scoops her up, but Polly spins through and hits an arm drag. Kim rolls through to her feet. She turns back as Polly grabs her by the head and locks in a headlock. Kim reaches around and Polly then turns and runs forward and uses Kim’s head as a battering ram into the top turnbuckle. Kim falls to a knee. Polly lets go, turns and shoves her back. Kim rolls through and Polly hits a dropkick.

 

Sharper: “We’ve talked a lot of unorthodox offense tonight. There’s some more.”

 

Lyman: “Kim a bit discombobulated from that.”

 

Polly follows up as Kim gets up and nails her with a forearm shot. Kim falls to the ropes. Polly kicks her in the ribs and then pulls her out and snapmares her down. Polly runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hits a running elbow drop. She goes for the pin.

Polly steps on Kim’s face and rakes it with her boot. Kim turns and rolls over. She starts to get up and Polly grabs her and hooks her up for a vertical suplex. Kim blocks it though and nails her in the ribs once and then again before lifting her up and throwing her forward with a release front suplex.

 

Sharper: “Kim fighting back. Just stopping Polly and throwing her forward.”

 

Lyman: “And now she could just be annoyed. We never know if Kim is actually angry or more motivated.”

 

Knots: “How much blood has been spilled?”

 

Polly rolls over and Kim follows up and stomps her in the face and then again. Polly rolls to the ropes. Kim places her foot on Polly’s face and starts to press down.

Kim steps off as Polly holds her face. Kim walks around the ring. Polly grabs at the ropes and Kim turns and runs at her and nails her with a running boot to the face. Polly falls through the ropes to the apron. The crowd ohs. Kim smiles as she then watches Polly as she starts to get up and Kim runs along the ropes and nails Polly with a spear. Polly hits the apron. Kim looks at her and shrugs and runs across the ring. She bounces off and hits a baseball slide. Polly falls to the mats.

 

Sharper: “Kim with her unique offense. Spear through the ropes. That sets up the baseball slide.”

 

Lyman:” And quickly Polly is out of the ring and hurting all over.”

 

Kim turns and rolls to the floor. (1) She walks over to Polly who grabs at Kim, but Kim forearms her. She then turns and runs her over and into the steel steps. (2) The crowd cheers. Kim then looks around as we see Colleen and Aisling walking over to the Underground Championship belt Kim left under her corner.(3) Aisling grabs it and looks at it as Kim notices this. She then turns and walks over to timekeeper and grabs the ring bell and hammer.(4) She then walks over to Colleen and Aisling and before Colleen can warn her, Kim holds the ring bell next to Aisling’s head and rings it with the hammer.(5) The crowd roars. Kim then throws the bell down. Kim then points as Colleen and Aisling walk off, Aisling holding her ears in pain.(6) Kim then turns around as Polly, now back in the ring, runs at the ropes and dives through, taking Kim down with a pescado! Kim flies back and into the announce table. The crowd ohs. (1)

 

Sharper: “Polly Playtime who had gotten back into the ring. Kim distracted by the Playgirls admiring the title and she just drilled Kim!”

 

Knots: “Knocked out table back a bit. I almost had to suck in my gut to avoid terrible injury!”

 

Kim holds her lower back as Polly gets up. (2) She then steps up to Kim and smacks her in the jaw a couple of times. The crowd boos. (3) She then grabs Kim and pulls her up and rolls her into the ring. Polly climbs up onto the apron. Kim slowly gets up in the ring and turns as Polly springboards to the top rope and jumps forward into a twisting hurricanrana into a pin.

Knots: “Polly didn’t even have a chance to react.”

 

Lyman: “But now both down. And Polly’s still moving. Kim’s still sore from going into our table!”

 

Polly rolls over, holding her jaw and starts to get up. Kim then gets up and grabs her. Polly hits a back elbow for good measure and gets a break of her own. She runs into the ropes, bouncing off, but Kim then runs after her. Polly stops and turns and Kim nails her with the Shadowblade. The crowd roars. Kim goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and cheers. Kim rolls off, but just as she does, Aisling and Colleen enter the ring, and Colleen runs over and just jumps up and hits a hip drop to the chest of Kim. Kim rolls over in a bit of pain. The bell sounds again as Aisling checks on Polly.

 

Sharper: “Kim Williams showing that decisiveness but now Colleen and Aisling. These two Playgirls.”

 

Knots: “She asked on social media why she should be afraid. Here’s why. They may just kick her ass!”

 

Aisling starts to help Polly who is in pain and rolls over. Polly points at Kim as Colleen gets up and stomps away on Kim. The crowd boos loudly. Kim covers up as Colleen gets a few good shots in. The bell sounds again. Aisling turns and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope as Colleen pulls Kim up and places her head between her legs. She then hoists Kim up and plants her with a snap powerbomb. The crowd ohs. Aisling gets to the top and dives off with a frog splash. She hits and rolls through. The crowd boos loudly. Colleen then turns and looks at Kim as Polly gets up and smirks as Aisling turns and helps Polly up. Colleen turns to Polly as the boos continue.

 

Sharper: “Polly Playtime may not be the victor in the books, but she’s standing tall with these two women standing with her.”

 

Lyman: “And they just left Kim laying with a statement of their own. They played their games during the match, but for keeps after.”

 

The boos continue as Polly walks over to the ropes. Aisling and Colleen follow her and exit the ring, helping her to the floor. Kim rolls over, holding her ribs in pain as the scene cuts away.  


Backstage, Cid Turner is seen walking through the backstage area and approaching the door of the Lexy Corp locker room. Cid Turner has the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts in his hands. He walks over to the door and sees the hole. He knocks on it and then looks in.

 

Cid: “Uh…Anyone here?”

 

Autumn: “What do you want?”

 

Autumn walks up from across the way. Cid jumps a bit.

 

Cid: “You’re not in there-“

 

Autumn: “No. Turns out when a sociopath tries to kill your furry friends with an axe, they move you.”

 

Cid: “Oh, that’s fair.”

 

Cid extends the Tag Titles. Autumn looks at them and takes them.

 

Cid: “They’re theirs. Saw they were still at ringside after Holly and GiGi stormed off…with Datura.”

 

Cid seems a bit disappointed with that last point.

 

Autumn: “Thanks…I guess….”

 

Cid: “Something else.”

 

Autumn: “What? Going to dance over the fact you beat me.”

 

Cid: “No. Just…I asked Cruze about it. Giving you a rematch for the Addy title. Next week. You can even pick the stipulation.”

 

Autumn looks confused.

 

Autumn: “This some trick.”

 

Cid: “No. Just…something I need to do.”

 

Cid turns and heads off as Autumn looks confused as Cid walks off. Autumn then looks at the Tag Titles in her hands as the scene fades to black.


COMMERCIALS


Breakdown returns as we see Kimberly Williams wandering through the backstage area, holding her SCW Underground Championship.

 

Kim: “Oh….so they’re going to attack. They’re going to have fun…”

 

Kim spins around.

 

Kim: “Where’s my backup? Where’s Wasley? Or how about Sarah? I helped you last week nearly commit murder….or Deanna? I got jumped by three people. Come on by and flash your integrity! Huh!”

 

She starts singing almost, as if this remains a game. Kim spins around again before continuing to wander off.

 

Kim: “Really? Playgirls?!”

 

Kim throws her arms up, causing the Underground Title to flap around a bit before we cut away.


Danny Darko & Glory Braddock vs. Jenni Anderson & Tsunami

 

The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system. Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from London, England, she is the British Bombshell, Glory Braddock!”
 
It's burning down, it's burning high
when ashes fall the legends rise
We burned it out oh my oh why
When ashes fall the legends rise

Throat is dry, my vision's fading
I'm paralyzed and left here waiting
Taking time just one step forward
Won't lose my mind, I'm here to stay

The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring.  Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly.

 

Sharper: “Glory Braddock had other plans last week. They got derailed as Danny Darko, Christy Matthews, and then Tsunami and Jenni Anderson arrived.”

 

Lyman: “And Anderson showcased her new business deal and this is the other part of the conditions they had. Apparently, the beginning of a tag team hope for Jenni Anderson.”

 

The opening chords of "Guilty All The Same" begin playing throughout the arena while at the same time every light shuts off.

"Tell us all again
What you think we should be
What the answers are
What it is we can't see
Tell us all again
How to do what you say
How to fall in line
How there's no other way
But oh, we all know”

After that last verse when the chorus kicks in, the next round of heavy guitars, bass, drums and screaming begin ringing out throughout the arena at full force while right red flames shoot off from each side of the stage and Darko slowly saunters down to the ring with a sinister and intense look on his face.

 

Phillips: “Her partner, from Portland, Oregon, he is Devious Danny Darko!”

"You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same"

He nods his head to acknowledge the always raucous responses from the live crowd. Once he steps into the ring he walks to the middle of the ring and stands there for a few seconds before bright red flames shoot out from each of the ringposts. Once the flames are finished, he climbs each corner of the ring and raises his right fist in the air and yells out to crowd to pump them up. He then turns and walks over to Glory as they talk a bit.

 

Sharper: “Danny Darko making his debut here in SCW. The veteran has been around. Twenty years. He’s finally in SCW.”

 

Knots: “Maybe he’ll do a bit more. Last week, he seemed a bit unwilling to get involved in the action. Watching before helping Glory at the end.”

 

Sharper: “He got lumped in by association regardless.”

 

“MONEY

MONEY

MONEY MAKE HER SMILE…”


The chorus line to Bruno Mars’ “Money Make Her Smile” plays out over the crowd before the introductory organ plays out, leading into the full song. Jenni Anderson steps out from the back, confidently striding as she stands before the booing crowd, clad in her ring gear and a long fur coat. She lowers a pair of obscenely expensive sunglasses. She stops and looks around. Tsunami then appears on the ramp alongside Damron as “Open Up” by Korn explodes into the arena. Lester Damron then begins down the ramp with Tsumani close behind, ignoring the hostile, booing crowd who already don't like them. Jenni Anderson smirks as she walks to the ring too.

 

Phillips: “Their opponents, accompanied by Lester Damron, they are the team of Jenni Anderson and Tsunami!”

 

The crowd boos. Arriving at the ringside area Tsumani reaches and pulls himself up along the ropes before stepping over the top rope while Damron watches in the corner the entire time. Once at the foot of the ring, Jenni stands and instructs the referee to open the ropes for her, which undoubtedly happens. Climbing onto the apron, she moves through the ropes and into the ring.  Tsunami looks toward the referee briefly in an intimidating manner before going to his corner, receiving instruction from Damron until the match begins. Jenni meanwhiles lowers the coat down her back, looking out over the crowd as she removes her sunglasses entirely. She then sheds her entrance attire and passes them gracefully to the timekeeper - if anything ends up damaged, or one hair ends up out of place, she has the means to seek recompense for them… a fact she reminds the handler of her property. 

 

Sharper: “Two unique teams. Both teaming for the first time.”

 

Lyman: “We know Jenni eventually wants to be aiming for the tag titles but what about tonight?”

 

Knots: “Tonight, Tsunami wants to do more damage to Glory! That’s for sure!”

 

Glory and Danny talk as Tsunami steps forward. Jenni stands on the apron as Michael Constantine, the official starts the match. Tsunami starts to head across as Danny steps up in front of him. Glory watches him and then reluctantly exits. Tsunami then nails Danny with a hard right and then another before pushing him into the ropes. He fires Danny across. Danny bounces off and Tsunami runs at him. Danny ducks a body avalanche attempt and stops. Tsunami turns and Danny forearms Tsunami in the jaw once and then a second time before kicking him in the ribs. He goes to whip him across. Tsunami stops and plants his feet and pulls him in, sending him into the corner. Tsunami turns and runs at him. Danny gets his boot up. Tsunami staggers back and Danny jumps up and hits a dropkick, taking the man off his feet.

 

Sharper: “Danny looking spry here. Nice dropkick. Tsunami off his feet.”

 

Knots: “He’s got some size so he can hit with some force.”

 

Sharper: “Danny maybe wanting to get his feet wet. Glory wants in. She won’t back down from challenges.”

 

Danny turns and Tsunami gets up. Danny elbows him in the back of the head and then kicks him in the ribs. He hooks him up for a vertical suplex. He tries to hoist him up, but Tsunami blocks it. Danny tries again. Tsunami blocks it again and then steps up and hoists him up and throws him down with a vertical suplex. Tsunami turns as Danny starts to get up and Tsunami headbutts him. Darko drops to the mat and gets up and Tsunami shoves him back hard into the corner where Glory awaits. Glory quickly tags in as Tsunami smiles. Jenni shakes her head. Glory enters and Tsunami grabs her. Glory ducks down and crawls through his legs. Tsunami stops forward and turns around and Glory jumps up and hits a dropkick. Tsunami staggers back and Glory gets up and runs into the ropes. She runs at him and jumps up for a shoulder tackle, knocking Tsunami back and to the ropes. Tsunami falls through to the floor. The crowd roars. (1) Jenni points as Constantine turns to her as Glory rolls to the floor after.

 

Sharper: “Glory knocking Tsunami to the floor!”

 

Lyman: “She’s already got a plan.”

 

Darko looks over as Glory clubs Tsunami repeatedly in the back. Jenni maintains her distraction as Glory then turns and grabs one of the cables. The crowd roars as she goes to wrap it around Tsunami’s arm.

 

Sharper: “She’s going to tie him up again. Just like at Holly-Wood of the South!”

 

Knots: “Why not humiliate him again?! That’s going to go well. Not like he holds a grudge!”

 

Sharper: “And Jenni I think knows as she’s trying to distract referee Michael Constantine!”

 

Glory moves to another arm, but Tsunami turns and throws her down. Glory falls back. She rolls over and gets up as Darko keeps watching on the apron. Glory runs at Tsunami and Tsunami hoists her up in a military press before throwing her chest first down on the announce table. The table doesn’t budge as Tsunami rips the cords off of him. Jenni stops with her distraction as Constantine walks over and starts his count again. (1) Glory stirs on the announce table and Darko spins around the ringpost, now helping Glory and stomping Tsunami in the head. He staggers back. (2) Darko then backs up and dives off with a frog splash crossbody into Tsunami. Tsunami, however, catches him. He then turns and runs at the ringpost, driving him back first. Jenni applauds as she stands in the corner. (3)

 

Sharper: “Tsunami caught Darko. This time, Darko getting involved and Tsunami caught him and drove him into the ringpost.”

 

Knots: “Welcome to SCW!”

 

Lyman: “Jenni Anderson is just loving this. Watching from the apron. Outside of a distraction, she’s not done anything else.”

 

Tsunami turns and grabs Glory as she stirs. (4) Tsunami then hoists her onto his shoulders and just throws her through the ropes back into the ring. Constantine stops his count even before Tsunami gets in as he grabs the ropes and pulls himself onto the apron and into the ring. Glory rolls over and gets up and Tsunami runs at her and hits a body avalanche. Glory drops to the mat. Tsunami looks around as Lester Damron applauds him. Jenni does too. Tsunami then runs into the ropes, bouncing off and going for a running splash, but Glory rolls out of the way. Tsunami this the mat. Tsunami winces and starts to get up and then grabs Glory as she stirs. She drags her up and whips her into the ropes. He scoops her up for a tilt-a-whirl, but Glory counters into a huge DDT. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Glory counters with a huge DDT. Not giving up. We’ve seen her taking a more relaxed stance, but in the ring, she’s still as dangerous and skilled as ever.”

 

Lyman: “Darko may be hurt. He’s holding his lower back.”

 

Knots: “Well if you had a three hundred and fifty pound man sandwich you into steel, you’d be in pain too!”

 

Darko winces and walks to the corner, holding his back. He starts to pull himself onto the apron. He then reaches out as Glory starts to pull herself up. She rolls over and looks around. She then jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a lionsault. She hooks the leg.

He then turns and runs jumps up and goes for the pin.

Darko clubs him in the back once and then again. Tsunami shoves him back. Darko hits the corner. Tsunami runs after and nails him with a running splash. The crowd ohs. Darko staggers out. Tsunami turns and runs across the ring, bouncing off and Darko hoists him up only for him to hit a variation of the How’s Your Spine, more as a spinebuster into his knee. Darko rolls over, holding his lower back and then his knee before crawling over to Glory. Glory extends her arm. Jenni looks on Tsunami stirs.

 

Sharper: “Darko hoisting him up and hitting the How’s Your Spine!”

 

Knots: “He should be asking for his. He’s hurt. He’s holding his back. Clutching it repeatedly.”

 

Sharper: “He needs to get Glory in there.”

 

Glory keeps her arm out as Darko slides over and reaches out, tagging her in. Glory climbs up to the top rope. She then dives off with the London Plunge. The crowd cheers. Glory goes for the pin.

Jenni enters and dropkicks Glory in the side of the head. The crowd ohs as she rolls off in pain. Jenni smirks as she turns and exits the ring, dusting her hands off.

 

Sharper: “And Jenni involved. First time we’ve seen her get involved offensively.”

 

Lyman: “And with an impact.”

 

Knots: “Glory could be out from that. She didn’t miss!”

 

Glory winces as Darko kneels in the corner. Tsunami stirs and starts to get up. He winces a bit as he gets up. Lester encourages him as Glory grabs at the ropes. Tsunami then grabs Glory and spins her around, pulling her into his arm and hitting a Rock Bottom. The crowd ohs and boos. Tsunami then gets up and looks around before he grabs Glory by her head again. He drags her up and places her head between his legs. He looks around and then hoists her up and goes for the Splash Mountain. He holds her up by her arms and Glory manages to start to kick her legs and gets free, dropping down and into a sunset flip.

The crowd roars as Glory rolls back and rolls to the floor. The bell sounds. Darko drops down too as Tsunami turns and looks up stunned before starting to throw a tantrum. Lester enters the ring as Jenni remains back.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Glory Braddock and Danny Darko!”

 

Sharper: “Glory countered and this time used his size against him!”

 

Lyman: “Turned him over in such a way, he couldn’t kick out and Lester Damron is trying to calm him down!”

 

Sharper: “Darko’s back issue may not mean anything as Glory found a way. But Jenni Anderson…she just watched!”

 

Knots: “She didn’t just watch. She got involved!”

 

Sharper: “Yeah, once. So what’s really happening here?!”

 

Glory has her arm raised by Darko, who grimaces in pain. Constantine moves to the floor as Lester starts to calm Tsunami down as he keeps looking right at Glory. Jenni watches from the floor as we cut away.


COMMERCIALS


Breakdown returns as we see Lester Damron talking to Jenni Anderson backstage.

 

Damron: “Now Jenni…if we’re gonna continue, you need to carry your end of things-“

 

Anderson: “Mr. Damron…I plan to do just that. But I hope you realize that I followed things in our agreement to the letter. You said to stay out of your way while Tsunami seeks his revenge against Glory. I’ve given you as you asked. Now I hope that he can move on…and together, we can reach greater goals.”

 

Damron turns to Tsunami who looks around in the background. Lester turns back.

 

Damron: “Well…I may have misjudged you and thought you weren’t that perceptive. But I guess we know the matter of this relationship. Keep the funds comin’ and I’ll have him ready.”

 

Anderson: “Excellent!”

 

Anderson walks off as Lester Damron turns to Tsunami.

 

Damron: “Let’s go.”

 

They head off in the opposite direction.


The scene cuts to another part of the arena where we see Danny Darko wincing as he walks into the trainer’s room. Glory helps him over.

 

Darko: “Thanks, Glory…just…I can take it from here.”

 

Braddock: “You sure. You seem to be hurting.”

 

Darko: “The mix of taking a few bumps and the impact of Tsunami…I’ll be fine…”

 

Braddock: “Alright.”

 

The door opens as the trainer steps out. Danny turns to him.

 

Darko: “Hey doc. Got some time for me.”

 

Braddock steps back as Darko steps forward and into the door. Braddock walks off as Darko glances over and watches her leave before relaxing a bit and stepping inside, closing the door behind him.


Ricky James in action

 

We open up at ringside to see a man wearing a cowboy hat and chaps. He throws his arms in the air.

 

Phillips: “Fans, the following contest is scheduled for onefall with a ten minute time limit. Already in the ring, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, he is The Cowboy Bret Storm!”

 

The crowd roars as Storm plays to the crowd a bit. The sound of evil laughter is heard through the arena speakers, followed by a slowed-down version of “Real American”. The crowd boos as Rudy Powell emerges from behind the curtain wearing a suit, which already appears to be quite damp. He dabs his head and looks around before pointing to the back. He laughs as we then see a man, wearing Ricky James’s old luchador mask, and wearing otherwise James’s attire, along with an American flag cape. The new “Ricky James” steps up and puts his hands on his hips.

 

Sharper: “What the hell is this?”

 

Lyman: “I think we now have a new Ricky James…another one.”

 

Phillips: “His opponent, from Miami, Florida, represented by Rudy Powell, he is Ricky James!”

 

The crowd boos as “Ricky James” looks around, his bleached blonde hair also a dead give away he’s not the original Ricky. Ricky then starts to walk down to the ring, with Rudy Powell waddling next to him.

 

Sharper: “Clearly that’s not the original Ricky James. Not unless he’s bleached his hair.”

 

Knots: “Powell’s made some adjustments. Now he has a cape, but also apparently even wearing Ricky’s old mask.”

 

Lyman: “Just adding to the disrespect.”

 

Ricky reaches the ring and hops onto the apron. He looks in the ring and steps in. He undoes his cape and twirls it around before placing it down on the ropes. Rudy Powell walks over and points to the flag and cackles before pulling it down. Powell then dabs himself with his handkerchief as Ricky James looks at Bret Storm.

 

Sharper: “Ricky James at least able to get into the ring.”

 

Knots: “An improvement over the last Ricky James. By that I mean Rudy.”

 

Sharper: “Rudy’s just slowly developing a puddle under him in corner.”

 

The bell sounds as Ricky and Bret circle the ring and Bret runs at Ricky and nails him with a hard right and then another and another, before pushing him back into the corner and hitting a huge overhead chop. The crowd woos. Bret then grabs Ricky and whips him across the ring. He runs after and Ricky steps out of the corner. Bret goes hard chest first and staggers back as Ricky jumps off the ropes and hits a leg lariat. He rolls through.

 

Sharper: “Hard run into the turnbuckle. Storm looked to end this fast.”

 

Knots: “But Ricky…I guess, we have to call him that…he moved out of the way.”

 

Lyman: “He has some skill. Just who has Rudy conned to be in this position.”

 

Ricky turns as Storm gets up and Ricky rakes the eyes. The crowd boos. He then chops him in the chest, knocking him back to the corner. Storm leans back and Ricky chops him again and then hits a hard right before hitting a beal out of the corner. Storm rolls through. He gets up and Ricky runs at him and jumps up and hits a flying headscissors. The crowd boos. Storm rolls through. He gets up and turns and Ricky hits a dropkick. Storm hits the mat and Ricky goes for the pin.

Storm kicks out. Ricky turns and grabs Storm and drags him up. He nails him with a hard right and then another. He goes to whip him across, but Storm spins through. Ricky hits the ropes and bounces off and Storm drops down and into a rolling single leg crab. The crowd roars as Ricky quickly crawls to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Storm with a quick hold, but Ricky James not even hesitating.”

 

Lyman: “While Rudy Powell threatens the official, repeatedly.”

 

Powell points at him, yelling at him.

 

Powell: “Break it! Break it or I’ll sue! Sue you for everything you’re worth!”

 

Storm lets go and steps forward. James winces, pulling himself up and Storm turns and runs at him, but James gets a boot up. Storm staggers back as James runs out and hoists Storm up and right into the Stand Your Ground. The crowd ohs. Storm winces and rolls over as James starts to get up. Storm rolls over and holds his back. James grabs him as Rudy keeps cheering him on.

 

Powell: “Show that you’re the real one! Show the world!”

 

Powell smiles as James then whips Storm into the ropes. Storm bounces off and James catches him into an abdominal stretch. He then places his hand on his heart and starts to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. The crowd boos as Powell cackles again.

 

Sharper: “And the Justice for All. Hitting Ricky James’s greatest hits when he first came in.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. You can pretend to be him all you want. Doesn’t make it true.”

 

James keeps the hold on as the official checks on Storm. Storm shakes his head as James then elbows him in the ribs. Storm stumbles forward and falls over as James steps back. Storm rolls over in pain and James stomps him in the ribs before grabbing him and pulling him up. He hoists him up and places him on the top rope. James then winces before hitting the Hard Right to Storm’s jaw. Storm leans back and James climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. He grabs Storm and sets him up, hooking his arm and then his head. He looks around before stepping up and hitting the Art of the Deal. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “The Art of the Deal! That top rope hammerlock DDT!”

 

Lyman: “Storm is out. He has to be.”

 

James rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Ricky James rolls out of the ring and steps over to Powell. Powell points to him before walking to the camera.

 

Powell: “Ricky James is back! And we will make sure we give the world a hero they can count on!”

 

The crowd boos as Powell smiles again as Ricky James turns and starts to walk to the back as Rudy Powell, still winded, covered in sweat, starts to waddle to the back.

 

Lyman: “That’s not Ricky James as we know him. That’s someone being Ricky James because Powell owns the trademark.”

 

Sharper: “And this farce continues.”

 

James and Powell head to the back as the crowd boos.


“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still of Selena Frost vs. Owen Lee comes up next.

 

Sharper: “And from that…we head to our main event. Selena Frost faces Owen Lee, next!”

 

Knots: “Don’t forget! Adam Allocco is invited to watch!”

 

Lyman: “And Josh Hudson is also here!”

 

Sharper: “What’s going to happen?!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Selena Frost vs. Owen Lee

 

The opening rifts to ‘Here we Go’ by Chris Classic blasts through the PA, as mist fills the entranceway. The music stops, a huge explosion rocks the entranceway and Owen jumps, seemingly through the floor and landing on his feet, dropping to one knee and punching the floor

“I been more than ready
Preppin' heavy
For this day to come”

Owen gets to his feet, and looks left and right at the reaction he is getting, a look of focus and determination on his face as he takes in the crowd.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, from Miami, Florida, he is Owen Lee!”

“And so now nothing can stop me
I just grind and work
Yeah yeah, you know the motto
You know we goin' hard cause we might never see tomorrow”

He begins the walk down to the ring, slapping the hand of anyone who offers, before sliding in and under the bottom rope, before standing in the middle of the ring his arms outstretched.

“I keep my eye on the fakes and got real from it
Mastered patience and free will from it
That's the real motivation some people kill for it
I keep reachin' for greatness because I'm built from it”

Owen points to the turnbuckle and then runs towards it, bouncing on the middle ropes and back flipping backwards, landing on both feet.

“Here we go
Give it a 100 never nothin' less
Here we go
We comin', you already know the rest
Here we go
We never settle 'cause we know it best
Who wanna test? Who?
Leave you outta breath”

Owen pulls on the top rope a couple of time, applauding the fans as his music fades.

 

Sharper: “Owen Lee, the number one contender to the SCW US Championship. He will face Josh Hudson in a submission match at Rise to Greatness. That is official.”

 

Lyman: “He’ll have a tough contest tonight though against Selena Frost. Long history here. Selena looking to showcase herself, but Owen will be looking to do the same.”

 

BELIEVE IT!

The SCW Universe are on their feet as  “Kings and Queens” by Ava Max as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe. The SCW World Championship is around her waist.

 

Phillips: “His opponent, from Nome, Alaska, she the SCW World Champion, the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as she lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm upward, her back arm lifted behind her to the sky. With a lift of her right foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring!

Lowering her arms, the Winter’s Knight walks down the ramp, her steps leaving footprints in the “snow” under her feet. Reaching the ring, Selena goes up the steps and under the ropes to enter it. Once inside and in the center of the ring, she lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more. With a slam of her foot, Selena caused the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. She places her title in the corner.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost watched Adam Allocco here at ringside. Allocco wrestled a bit differently.”

 

Knots: “And Allocco said it! He’s wrestling smarter, not harder. He’s going to do what he needs to win. To get that title he’s never held.”

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost thought it was cheap. But integrity playing a role for both and-“

 

The arena lights shutter off. A single beam of golden light is cast down onto the center of the stage, accompanied by a loud bass rumbling from the sound system. A light snowfall of sliver confetti falls within the pillar of light. The rough guitar chords of 'Wired' by JJ Wilder strike the sound system. Adam steps out, head hung low, into the light. He slowly looks up, a blinding flash of light accompanies him dropping down onto his knee. He raises his arms, almost as if he's calling out to God.

“Fast cars good life what you waiting for?
Grow up perfect life knocking at your door
I’ve been working for myself since seventeen
Taking orders getting low on self-esteem”

Adam stands up and shoots a pose where he flexes his biceps before kicking his foot up into the air and swinging towards the ramp. He saunters down slowly, while he cocks a wily smile toward any nearby cameras. He forms a triangle with both hands. He looks in the ring as Selena watches him. He walks around the ring.

 

Sharper: “And for someone saying they aren’t playing mind games, the fact that Adam waited to come out last to watch Selena.”

 

Knots: “She wanted him to watch. She wanted him out here. Don’t make excuses for her.”

 

Lyman: “She did, but clearly Adam’s doing little things to get into her head.”

 

Knots: “Or he came out last!”

Adam walks over to the announce position. He stops and talks to the announce table as the bell sounds in the ring.

 

Allocco: “Sorry kids. I’m going to just watch. Give her my undivided attention!”

 

Allocco pulls the chair set for him away from the table and sits down as Owen and Selena circle the ring.

 

Sharper: “Well that answers one question.”

 

Knots: “He’s taking it seriously!”

 

Owen and Selena step forward and lock up on one another. They push back on one another and Owen sets Selena back into the corner. Selena leans back as the crowd looks on. Demitra, the official, counts.

Owen counters with a headscissors. Selena nips out. Both get up and Owen hits a snap headlock takedown on Selena. Selena counters with a headscissors. Owen nips out. Both get up and look at one another, ready to fight, but hesitating. The crowd cheers. Selena steps back as Owen does too. The two circle the ring.

 

Sharper: “And a stalemate as they go back and forth!”

 

Lyman: “Now they’re both figuring out what next to try. Both can compete in a variety of different styles.”

 

Selena and Owen continue to circle before Selena lunges at Owen. Owen hops over her and runs into the ropes. Selena rolls toward him. Owen hops over and bounces off the other side.

Owen gets his shoulder up. Selena rolls off, holding her ribs, taking a few deep breaths.

 

Sharper: “Selena starting to focus on the shoulder a bit. Turning things around with the Paydirt. But only two.”

Knots: “If she can keep breathing!”

 

Adam Allocco looks on as Selena gets up as Owen rolls over.   Selena moves to the ropes and gets up and turns to Owen. Owen holds his arm and gets up and Selena kicks him in the ribs.

The crowd roars as Selena lets go and rolls over. The bell sounds. Owen looks up as Hudson slides into the ring.

 

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

 

Sharper: “Frost wins, albeit barely. Just caught Owen. A great wrestling hold and now…Hudson! Hudson in the ring!”

 

Lyman: “Owen!”

 

Owen turns as Hudson runs over and boots him in the face. He grabs him and throws him into the ropes and before Owen can react, he just muscles him into the top rope and hooks him in the ropes. Selena starts to get up and turns and sees this as Owen tries to get free.

 

Sharper: “Owen trapped in the ropes! Hudson using his strength, the fact he’s fresh…”

 

Knots: “The adrenaline gone for Owen and now he’s at his whim!”

 

Lyman: “There’s Selena though!”

 

Selena gets up and runs at Hudson and nails him with a forearm and then another and another. She then backs up and goes for the Glass Shard, but Hudson ducks and hoists Selena up, catching her and hitting a powerbomb. The crowd ohs. Hudson then looks at her before turning to Owen. Hudson says something to Owen before moving over to Selena and grabbing her by the head and starting to move into the Sever(in) Mission. But just as he does, Adam Allocco pulls himself onto the apron. He steps into the ring. Hudson is just about to lock it in and Adam boots him in the side of the head. Hudson rolls away from Selena and to the ropes. Owen looks on as he keeps trying to get out, now with the help of the official.

 

Sharper: Hudson was going to love in the Severin Mission on Selena! He was going to make Owen watch!”

 

Knots: “Adam helped her?!”

 

Selena rolls over as Allocco steps forward. Hudson looks at Allocco stunned. Allocco then points to Selena and then himself. Hudson just looks stunned as Owen is freed. Hudson then rolls to the floor and backs away as Owen goes to grab at him, stopped only by the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Adam Allocco saving Selena and Hudson is stunned! Is this more mind games?”

 

Lyman: “He was pointing to himself. I think he said Selena is his…”

 

Hudson backs up as Allocco watches him. Deanna heads out from the back with some other officials. Allocco then turns and exits the ring as Selena looks up at him, confused. Owen gets up and turns to Allocco, not trusting him either as the scene fades to black…
