DARK MATCH:

Jason Dreamer defeats Waylon Cash via pinfall

 

The SCW symbol comes onto the screen.

 

“The following is a presentation of Supreme Championship Wrestling, the leader in sports and entertainment in the world today.”

 

The scene then fades to black.

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Josh Hudson locking in the Angle before freezing and flying past the screen. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx biting Asher Hayes’ lip and then ripping away as Asher winces from the sudden pain, before freezing and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

We see Damian Angel nailing Rick Rohl with a lead pipe before freezing and flying at the screen. A shot of Jason Zero dropping Sasha Drachewych with the Chaos Theory is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of Greg Cherry holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his head, before switching to a shot of Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

Shots of Gigi Steward and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Fred Debonair nailing someone with the Debon-AIR, and followed by a shot of Christian Savior hitting a spear on Greg Cherry are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of the SCW Tag Team Champions, Liberation, are shown, posing with the titles before flying past the screen.

 

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

 

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Shilo Valiant, Drew Weilacher, Thorn & David Helms, Lucas Knight, Masquerade, Dark Triad and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.  

The scene then switches to the inside of the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena for a few moments before we sweep down to ringside and the SCW announce team of Adam Sharper, Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey and welcome to the road to Rise to Greatness! Hello again everyone, I’m Adam Sharper, alongside Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots and tonight, we are going to finalize the Rise to Greatness main event. In that ring, we’re going to see the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal winner, Greg Cherry, and the new SCW World Champion, Thorn, sign their match contract for their match at Rise to Greatness here tonight.”

 

Dawson: “And that’s not all. Think of all of the questions that we want answered. Jason Zero failed to win the battle royal. What does this mean for him? What moods are Josh Hudson and Jake Starr going to be in? And on top of that, James Exeter returned at Taking Hold of the Flame and went after Damian Angel. Why? And what does the Hellbound Messiah think about it?”

 

Knots: “Yeah, well you can sit there with the questions. I’ll give you some answers. Does CHBK have an issue with Dark Triad and Lucas Knight? You damn right. Syren and Lucas Knight will both be defending their titles here tonight.”

 

Sharper: “That’s right. Lucas Knight will be defending his newly acquired Underground Championship against the man that arguably cost Justin Davis the World Championship, Glacier. And Syren will be defending her title against Katie Steward.”

 

Dawson: “And Katie Steward’s record against the Women’s Champion is in her favour to say the least.”

 

Sharper: “A huge night here tonight. Who knows what will happen as we are now just six and a half weeks away from the biggest show ever, Rise to Greatness in Cowboy Stadium!”

The opening guitar riffs are heard leading into "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin. The crowd starts to cheer as the opening line is heard.

"I will not bow
I will not break
I will shove the world away
I will not fall
I will not faint
I will take your breath away"

 

The cheers increase as we see Greg Cherry walk out from the back with Ashley Cherry standing next to him. He looks out and smiles as he just nods.

 

Dawson: “And there you see the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal winner in 2010, Greg Cherry!”

 

Sharper: “Back on top of the proverbial mountain...well, almost. He’s got one person standing in his way, the World Champion himself, Thorn.”

 

Greg starts to walk down to the ring with Ashley Cherry just a few paces behind him. He continues to smile before walking over to the steel steps. He walks along the apron before stopping and turning as Ashley walks up the steps and Greg holds the ropes open for her before he enters the ring. He then walks over to the ropes and throws his arms out, before doing his Penn Sen gesture, getting a few more cheers from the crowd. He backs up and smiles before turning around and going to the other side of the ring to do the same. He then turns and walks over to Jason Phillips as Phillips hands him the microphone. He then smiles before walking around the ring and stopping in the middle of it. He pauses for a moment, still looking out as his music fades out and the crowd cheers a bit more.

 

Greg: “That’s just fantastic. Thanks for that...To say I’m on top of the world may be the biggest understatement I could ever fathom of saying.”

 

Greg pauses as the crowd cheers a bit.

 

Greg: “Because...and I love saying this...I am your 2010 Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal winner and I’m going to Rise to Greatness to win the World Championship!”

 

The crowd cheers as Greg smiles and looks around, still with a smile on his face.

 

Greg: “Because for months, I have been trying to get back to the level that I know I can go at. When I last was within grasp of the World Championship, I was under the power of someone who clearly had only their own interests at heart. I clearly let my greed overtake me and I made some bad decisions and since then, I’ve been trying, scrapping, and fighting to get back to where I know damn well where I should be and that is in the main event at Rise to Greatness. And in my hometown of Pittsburgh...in the last wrestling event in the Mellon Arena...I did the seemingly impossible and won the battle royal and secured by one-way ticket to the promised land.”

 

Greg pauses as the crowd roars.

 

Greg: “And to say that the effects aren’t noticed would be an understatement....my wife and I are less angry at each other. We’re on the same page. And professionally....I’ve done something that only six other people have done...and the last three years, those who went in as the challenger for the World Championship at Rise to Greatness walked out victorious and as the new champion. And trust me when I say there isn’t nothing more that I want to do than regain the World Championship for the fourth time. Because while I may not be quite as clouded as greed, I’d be lying to you if I haven’t yearned for that title for three years, hoping for this chance. Once you taste that gold, you want it again and again, ensuring it’s with you forever. And Thorn, sadly you have it. And that doesn’t bode well for you.”

 

A bit of a mixed reaction comes from the crowd as some fans clearly side with the new World Champion.

 

Greg: “And Thorn, I’m going to tell you right now....congratulations for winning the World Championship. I know that much like myself, you’ve been fighting for months to get that belt around your waist. And you finally prevailed. Good for you....but unfortunately for you, you won the belt at the wrong time. You won the belt in the run up to my return to the Championship. And you can fight it...go ahead....but I am not going to let this opportunity go to waste. I am not going to let this storybook ending come to an end. I’m going to go to Rise to Greatness and walks out the World Champion!”

 

Greg then pauses before smirking.

 

Greg: “And if you don’t like it...well...life is the pits! Dea-“

 

Suddenly, all is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a spotlight drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll across the video screen

INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….

The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the keyboard starts again

PATCHING WITH THE "BROTHERHOOD" EXPANSION...

The background sounds continue, then more words.

SUBJECT: THORN…

The background noise echoes loudly around the arena, becoming almost deafening as tapping on the keyboard can be heard one last time.

EVALUATION: DEADLY…

The gunfire and sirens halt and all is silent before two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. A voice can be heard echoing around the arena

“I’d Rather Die Than Live Down On My Knees”

 

The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Higinia” by Blessthefall blasts out as the lights flicker back on and Thorn can be seen on top of the arena, Charlotte by his side as he looks out into the audience that are cheering loudly. The SCW World Championship sits over the shoulder of Thorn. Thorn then starts to walk down to the ring with Charlotte. Greg just turns and watches his opponent for Rise to Greatness start to make his way down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “The new World Champion, Thorn, on his way to the ring. He may have taken exception to some of the comments of his challenger, Greg Cherry.”

 

Knots: “Well he better get used to it, he’s the man with the target on his back now.”

 

Thorn walks down to the ring with Charlotte right after him. He then steps and allows Charlotte to walk up the steps ahead of him. Thorn then follows her before holding the ropes open for her and Charlotte enters. Thorn then enters afterwards and looks up at Greg Cherry. The crowd roars a bit as Thorn just walks slowly past him, keeping his eyes on the number one contender. Thorn then goes over to the ropes and asks for his own microphone. Jason Phillips runs over and hands him one and Thorn stands back up and looks over to Greg Cherry and walks up to him. The crowd starts to roar as the music fades out.

 

Thorn: “Greg....I respect that you managed to get through the thirty men to get this World Championship shot. But Greg....sorry if I don’t believe half of what you say. I’ve watched you long enough to know that when the World Championship is on the line, you start turning into a heroin addict looking for his fix. And this is no exception. You can believe that you’re going to take my title away from me, but Greg....for three months I have been trying to get this title....and if you remember, the first time I had my shot, you were the one that arguably cost me it.”

 

Greg just looks at Thorn, not changing his demeanour at all as Thorn just looks right at his eyes.

 

Thorn: “And I’ll be damned if you bring things full circle and end this reign....Because Greg, whether you like it or not, everyone loves an underdog...and I’ve fought far too hard for this belt. My rise to the top of the mountain has happened. Taking Hold of the Flame saw that. I’m now making a camp and inviting all of my friends to party in my mountain log cabin. And I’m not letting you crash that party. Greg....sorry, but you’re not going to get lucky again. You’re going to have to keep struggling to find your fix. Because this title....it’s staying with me. And if you don’t like it...well....deal with it.”

 

“Higinia” begins to play throughout the arena as Thorn brings the microphone down. He then looks right at the eyes of Greg. Greg just nods and mouths something to Thorn, inaudible to the cameras. Thorn responds with some of his own words before then slowly turning away and mouthing more clearly “See you later tonight.” Thorn then starts to exit the ring as Greg just watches him leave.

 

Dawson: “Thorn delivering his own message. And both are clear on what they intend to do.”

 

Sharper: “It doesn’t get much more straightforward than this. They both want the title and neither are going to let go of this opportunity. Greg Cherry and Thorn laying it all out right here.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Thorn still doesn’t quite trust Greg Cherry. Remember Greg’s involvement with Infection earlier this year.”

 

Sharper: “Oh I remember it. It cost Thorn the title and Thorn told him right out. It’s not happening again.”

 

Dawson: “And that match, later tonight, will be signed officially. Sasha Drachewych is going to oversee that and who knows what else may happen as they two head towards Rise to Greatness.”

 

Thorn drops down to the floor and helps Charlotte down. The two then start to back way from the ring. Greg just watches him leave as Ashley stands next to him and the two engage in yet another staredown before we go backstage.

Backstage, the scene opens at the SCW interview area to see CHBK standing next to Jessica Winters. The crowd cheers upon seeing them. CHBK just smiles.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the SCW Commissioner, CHBK and he’s got a huge announcement.”

 

CHBK smiles as Jessica holds the CHBK right in front of CHBK.

 

CHBK: “That I do. Starting on August 13th, on your weeks when you don’t get your Breakdown fill, Supreme Championship Wrestling will be debuting a new show, every other Friday. This will mean more opportunities for SCW roster members and more SCW action for all of our fans at home.”

 

Jessica: “So more SCW action as SCW returns to weekly production.”

 

CHBK: “Exactly. After Rise to Greatness, we’re going to give the fans more of what they want.”

 

Jessica: “Sounds fantastic and I can’t way to see what happens starting August 13th.”

 

CHBK smiles.

 

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

 

Sharper: “Thank you Jessica. Huge news as SCW will be now debuting a second show. But while that’s to come in about two months, we have a huge show here tonight.”

 

A promotion still of Lucas Knight vs. Glacier with the SCW Underground Championship showing up underneath it.

 

Dawson: “That we do. The Underground Championship will be on the line. Glacier challenged Lucas Knight!”

 

The still then switches to show Katie Steward vs. Syren for the SCW Women’s Championship.

 

Knots: “And Syren has to defend her title against Katie Steward. Two title matches and both of the people CHBK hates.”

 

Sharper: “Stop it. Both those title matches and so much more still to come tonight!”

COMMERCIAL:

The Screen suddenly goes to static and then there is a blast of pyro that falls from seemingly the sky onto the entrance way with a giant crashing noise. Wait and Bleed by Slipknot begins to pump through the arena speakers. The camera moves into the entrance way where there is a large mass of fire. The fire grows several feet high on the big screen it shows a figure kneeling in the center of the flames. The figure slowly rises and and looks directly at the camera as it slowly zooms in to reveal Dillusion eyeing the camera with a sadistic look he steps forward through the fire.

Knots: “Great. The crazy asshole is on his way out here.”

 

Sharper: “Well crazy or not, he’s going to have a huge match here tonight against Jake Starr!”


He smiles and then moves down the entrance way looking through the audience. He takes a few more steps before a roar comes from the crowd and we see a figure run down and drill Dillusion from behind with a clothesline. Dillusion rolls over and falls down on the steel. Josh Hudson then turns around, glaring at the crowd and as Dillusion starts to get up, kicks him in the ribs hard. He rolls over back up the rampway a bit and Dillusion starts to stir. Hudson then turns and grabs Dillusion as the crowd starts to boo. Before Dillusion can attempt any sort of counter, Hudson lifts him up and throws him down, hard on the back of his head and neck on the rampway with a German suplex. Hudson lets go and Dillusion rolls over, holding his head in pain.

 

Dawson: “Hudson! What’s Hudson doing here?”

 

Sharper: “I have no clue, but he’s destroying Dillusion in front of us all!”

 

Dillusion slowly starts to crawl over to the mats and Hudson turns around and runs forward and stomps Dillusion in the back of the head. Dillusion rolls over and Hudson then drops down and grabs him and lifts him up. He then smirks before spinning him around and just throwing him such that Dillusion goes head and shoulder first into the ring apron. Dillusion falls down as the crowd ohs. Dillusion holds his face in pain before revealing a slight smile. Hudson then stomps him in the back of the head as the crowd continues to boo. He then grabs Dillusion and lifts him back up before turning and throwing Dillusion hard into the steel steps and the top half bowls over. Dillusion falls down and laughs a bit before rolling over. Hudson then grabs him and throws him down, stomach first on the bottom half of the stairs. Hudson then walks over and grabs the top half of the stairs.

 

Knots: “Oh boy! Whatever he’s out here for. He’s going to end this quick for Dillusion!”

 

Sharper: “No! Not the steps! Come on!”

 

Hudson then looks around before lifting the stairs up and throwing them down side first so they bounce off the bottom half of the stairs and Dillusion’s back. The crowd ohs as Dillusion winces, convulsing as he turns and holds his back and ribs a bit. Hudson just smirks before then grabbing Dillusion by his hair. He then drags him up before turning and hoisting him up and rolling him into the ring. Dillusion rolls over and spits out some blood on the canvas. The crowd boos and Hudson slides in before “Sandstorm” by Darude starts to play throughout the arena. Hudson smirks as the crowd roars. Jake Starr then steps out from the back, but with several officials running out around him and running down to the ring. Starr just stands and realizes Hudson’s attack before then starting to jog down to the ring. The music quickly counters out as Hudson grabs Dillusion’s clearly battered body and drags him up.

 

Knots: “Well Jake Starr’s out here for the match and he’s got a bit of a surprise!”

 

Dawson: “Starr’s just realized that Hudson has taken over his match and is destroying his opponent.”

 

Knots: “The bonus is that Drew Weilacher has been celebrating right now. He and Dillusion have been at each other’s throats for weeks!”

 

Hudson drags Dillusion up and looks at Starr as Starr gets closer to the ring. Hudson then hoists him up and onto his shoulders. He then smiles before throwing him forward and drilling him with the Go 2 Sleep. Dillusion falls back and is out of it as the crowd boos again. The officials quickly get into the ring and run over to Dillusion as Jake hops onto the apron. Hudson then turns around and grabs Jason Phillips, the ring announcer, who has just been cowering in the back corner of the ring. Hudson then snatches the microphone from his hands before turning around as Jake Starr enters the ring. Hudson then shoves Phillips through the ropes and he manages to catch himself before getting to the floor. Starr stands behind the group of officials who are now checking on Dillusion.

 

Hudson: “Jake!....You may want to stop for a moment and actually listen.”

 

The crowd boos as Jake glances at Dillusion before looking up at Hudson and glaring at him.

 

Hudson: “See, I’ve been spending the last ten days thinking. Why? Because I’ve noticed that because of certain actions by you, you caused me to no longer stand here to be World Champion. Now, I can live with that. Unlike some, I can live without having the World Championship around my waste every waking moment. But noting some of the issues around the SCW and around me, I’ve made a bit of a decision. Rise to Greatness will be my final night in SCW. I’ve refused to resign my contract!”

 

The crowd cheers at the statement and Jake mockingly golf claps him.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God!”

 

Knots: “What? No! Damn it! We’re going to lose Josh Hudson!”

 

Hudson: “But remember what I was saying before Taking Hold of the Flame...before foolish pride and title shots were your pathetic rebuttal....before CHBK and Sasha decided to yet again, get involved in my business. I wanted you one on one! I wanted to kill the spirit of all of these fans that view you as the benchmark, when they should be viewing me as it!”

 

The crowd boos as Starr just continues to glare at Hudson.

 

Hudson: “So I’m going to make this easy this time......You....Dumbass official number two. Is he in good enough shape to perform?”

 

The crowd boos as the one of the officials that Hudson stands over just looks down at Dillusion before looking up at Hudson and then Starr and shaking his head. Hudson then turns and looks at Jason Phillips before glancing back at the official.

 

Hudson: “Jake’s in the ring. Go tell Jason over there what the result of the match is and make him announce it.”

 

The crowd continues to boo as Jake Starr just glares at Hudson. The official looks up at Hudson and then reluctantly gets up. Hudson then shoves him and the official nearly falls over before falling to his knees. He gets up and walks over to the ropes and glances back at Hudson.

 

Hudson: “Go on.”

 

Dawson: “I don’t believe this...”

 

The official passes a few words to Jason Phillips and Phillips just nods before starting to announce to the crowd.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, as a result of Dillusion being incapable of competing, your winner via forfeit....Jake Starr!”

 

The crowd roars a bit as Jake just looks at Hudson unimpressed. Hudson just looks at Starr and smirks.

 

Hudson: “What happened here....it’s going to continue all the way up to Rise to Greatness. You want momentum. Heh....Good luck. You want legitimacy....You’re not getting it. Unless...unless you agree right here and now that it’s going to be you and I, one on one, at Rise to Greatness. Allow me to go out by killing that which all of them-“

 

Hudson points out of the crowd.

 

Hudson: “-love and adore....and allow me to kill what SCW has gotten behind and made their poster boy, when I have been just as successful and perhaps have even made more waves than you. Jake....what’ll it be?”

 

The crowd buzzes a bit as Jake Starr just looks down at Dillusion before just looking up at Hudson and nodding. The camera turns and catches his face as he yells at Hudson: “You got it! Get ready to get your ass kicked!” Hudson just smirks as the crowd cheers.

 

Hudson: “See you at Rise to Greatness....”

 

Hudson then drops the microphone before dropping down to the mat and rolling under the bottom rope and to the floor. “Lies” starts to play throughout the arena as Hudson walks around the ring as the officials keep checking on Dillusion and a couple of EMTs come down with a stretcher. Jake Starr just turns as he stands in the ring and watches Josh Hudson leave before smirking and shaking his head in disbelief.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. Josh Hudson threatened to prevent Jake from establishing a legacy and he’s got what he wants. At Rise to Greatness, Josh Hudson and Jake Starr will go at it!”

 

Knots: “Yeah...and it’s apparently going to be Josh Hudson’s last match in SCW too. He’s said he’s leaving. He’s not doing it.”

 

Dawson: “And he’s going to leave by proving he’s better than Jake Starr...”

 

Josh Hudson continues on his way to the back as Jake Starr glances back at Dillusion and then back at Hudson and smirks again as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Marisa Condolesa standing next to Chris Lawler near one of the locker rooms. Lawler just looks down and takes a deep breath as Condolesa turns to the camera.

 

Condolesa: “I am here with Chris Lawler who was distracted and had his elimination directly attributed to the involvement of Sketch Retro at Taking Hold of the Flame. We’ve been told that both Roboto and Retro are not here tonight, but you’ve asked for some time to deliver a statement.”

 

Lawler smiles a bit and turns to Condolesa.

 

Lawler: “That I did. I have a few ideas of why Sketch Retro chose to show the sin of wrath against me and finally come for my head. While in the past I would blame him for this, tonight, I will do no such thing. What I instead ask is not for a match next week or even a chance to get some payback. That’s what this is all about anyways. But what I would like is to meet with Retro on the Breakdown, no Roboto, just Retro, one on one and see where he feels.”

 

Condolesa: “You just want to talk to Retro.”

 

Lawler: “Exactly. The young man has always been lost. And I’m unsure Roboto is the man to guide him. And I’d like to know what he thinks....not his mouthpiece. Roboto....Retro....the ball’s in your court. I’ll see you next Breakdown.”

 

Condolesa: “Thank you for those comments. Back to ringside.”

 

Lawler smiles as Condolesa smiles again and we go back to ringside.

 

Knots: “How nice. He wants to talk. Probably wants to manipulate the poor kid.”

 

Sharper: “Or prevent Roboto’s manipulation. We’ll find out if they agree next Breakdown.”

New Noise vs. Racing LaRues

 

The roaring of two car engines can be heard as two cars speed into view on the SCWtron. As soon as they screech to a halt the opening to "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas begins to kick in.

"Gonna get that...
gonna get that...
gonna get that...
gonna get that that that that..."

As the song comes in full force with the first verse, Marcy LaRue comes from out of the backstage area. A couple of feet behind her is her younger brother Jeff. The two both look around the arena before they make their way down the ramp, all the while taking in the mixed reactions that they're receiving. Marcy finds that she's getting a lot of cat-calls and cheers from the guys while Jeff is getting the love from the younger females in the crowd. Alternately, Jeff is getting heavily booed by the guys while Marcy hears it pretty badly from the girls.

They both just shake their heads as they finally reach the ring, Jeff a few split seconds after Marcy. Marcy hops up onto the ring apron and Jeff decides it best to not tick off his sister. He opens the second and third ropes for her and allows her to step into the squared circle first. He follows as their music continues. The two look at one another now and actually give each other a high-five before each climbing a separate turnbuckle, letting the crowd know that they're ready to go racing.

As their music begins to fade the two climb down from the turnbuckles and patiently wait for the match to start, even though both of them roll their eyes with every passing second.

 

Dawson: “Two new tag teams going to try and start their climb to the Tag Team Championship.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Two racers and two people who kicked each other’s asses last Breakdown. This should be interesting. At least with the LaRues we know to expect both of them again.”

 

Sharper: “They followed the rules at Taking Hold of the Flame. I’d say that’s a pretty good indication.”

 

The lights dim as the opening of "Beautiful Tragedy" by IN THIS MOMENT begins to play throughout the arena. Smoke begins to bellow from the entranceway, keeping the visibility to a minimum at that point. When the song moves into its general pace, Clark Davis jogs out through the smoke, raising his arms when he becomes fully visible. Jack Roby follows, looking around at the crowd. The arena lights come back to normal levels as both Jack and Clark make their way to the ring. When he gets close to the ring, both men run and slide into the ring from under the bottom rope. They both stand up, Clark moving to a turnbuckle and standing on it while Jack moves to the nearby ropes. Clark crosses his arms in front of him to make an X, flashing rock fists and sticking his tongue out before stepping back down as Jack stands on the middle rope and raising an arm in the air before he steps down.

 

Sharper: “These two showed something last Breakdown in a great match that highlighted their strengths. Jack Roby walking away the victor over Clark Davis.”

 

Knots: “Good to see them kicking each other’s asses. Now can they work as a team? That’s all that matters.”

 

The bell sounds and Jeff stays in the ring as Clark does as well. Clark hops around as Jeff then moves forward and goes for the grapple. Clark, however, quickly spins around and takes Jeff down with a crucifix pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jeff rolls out and both get up. Jeff attempts a clothesline, but Clark ducks and bounces off the ropes. He then jumps up and attempts a hurricanrana, succeeding and taking Jeff down. Jeff pops back up and stumbles over to the ropes. Clark then runs over and kicks him in the ribs and then fires him across the ring, running after him and hitting a knee to the ribs. He then turns and reaches over and tags in Roby. Roby enters the ring and Clark turns and then grabs Jeff and hooks his leg before hitting a front Russian leg sweep as Roby runs over and hits a running facebuster from behind. The crowd ohs and Jeff rolls over as Clark exits the ring. Roby goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Marcy breaks up the pin. She then backs up as Roby looks over. He then gets up and grabs Jeff and slowly lifts him up and nails him with a forearm shiver.

 

Sharper: “Jack Roby and Clark Davis showing some quickness and some early teamwork.”

 

Dawson: “But Marcy LaRue with some great presence of mind to break the pin.”

 

Sharper: “Both teams, even though Jeff LaRue is in trouble, are showing some nice teamwork.”

 

Roby then grabs LaRue and whips him into the corner. LaRue stops himself by bringing his foot up to the middle turnbuckle. Roby runs after him and LaRue nails him with a back elbow. He then claps his hands and drills Roby with a falling clothesline. Roby rolls over and LaRue gets up. He then grabs Roby and lifts him up hitting an inverted atomic drop. Roby winces and LaRue then grabs him and takes him over with a vertical suplex. He then rolls over and walks over and tags in Marcy. Marcy quickly climbs up to the top rope and looks down at Roby as he gets up and dives forward and nails him in the back with a flying tackle. The crowd ohs and then boos a bit before Marcy goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Roby kicks out. Marcy gets up and Roby starts to stir. Marcy quickly turns and kicks him in the chest and Roby pops up in pain. Marcy then turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off them and Roby steps forward and snaps her over with a belly to belly suplex. The crowd cheers and Marcy rolls over, holding her back in pain. Roby meanwhile gets to his side and then starts to make his way to his corner for the tag.

 

Knots: “Well that’s going to be a backbreaker! HA! See what I did there?”

 

Dawson: “Suplexing Marcy down with authority and intelligently going for the tag.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Well, the LaRues are really at a loss. They don’t have a man advantage!”

 

Marcy starts to get up as Clark is tagged in. Clark enters the ring and quickly runs over before pulling her down with a school boy.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Marcy kicks out. Both get up and Marcy attempts a clothesline, but Clark ducks and jumps up and grabs Marcy and hits a neckbreaker. He then rolls over and exits to the apron before going to the corner and climbing up to the top rope. He looks around and dives forward and attempts a swanton bomb, but Marcy rolls out of the way. Clark hits hard and rolls over, wincing, before slowly getting back up and Marcy then gets up and jumps up and dropkicks him back down. Clark gets back up before turning to Marcy and Marcy grabs him and drops him with a DDT. Marcy then rolls over and grabs Clark and drags him up. She then reaches over and tags in Jeff before kicking Clark in the ribs. Jeff gets up and quickly lifts up Clark onto his shoulders. He then turns around and Marcy starts to climb up to the top rope with her back to the ring. She then turns and attempts a twisting crossbody to Clark, but Clark drops early and rolls up Jeff with a victory roll as Marcy lands just a few inches away and rolls over.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jeff kicks out and the crowd ohs. Davis rolls forward as Jeff slowly gets up.

 

Dawson: “Oh! How close! How close!”

 

Sharper: “Great counter by Clark Davis. He’s throwing everything at the LaRues. And he pulled that from his bag of tricks!”

 

Dawson: “And nearly had both LaRues down for the win!”

 

Jeff gets up and Clark gets up and kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and runs back to the corner and tags in Roby. Marcy leaves the ring as Roby re-enters and Clark and Roby both grab Jeff. They fire him into the ropes. Jeff bounces off the ropes and attempts a double clothesline. Roby ducks and Clark is hit before rolling to the outside. Jeff bounces off the other side and Roby kicks him in the ribs. He then places his head between his legs and hoists him up for a powerbomb, but Jeff manages to slide down. He then drops down and grabs the tights of Roby and throws him into the ropes. Marcy quickly runs over and kicks him in the head. Roby pops up and Jeff turns and tags in Marcy. Jeff then turns and lifts Roby up onto his shoulders as Marcy enters the ring before running into the ropes. She then bounces off the ropes and jumps up, finishing off the Checkered Flag. The crowd boos and Jeff rolls over and turns and watches for Clark as Marcy goes for the pin.

The crowd roars a bit before booing as Marcy rolls off as “Boom Boom Pow” plays throughout the arena.

 

Sharper: “The Racing LaRues do it. And they pick up their first tag team victory here in SCW.”

 

Knots: “Damn it. I was hoping they’d be making some noise...you know...like a sucking sound.”

 

Marcy pulls herself up and turns to Jeff and the two embrace briefly before holding each other’s arms up. Clark just looks up and turns as Jack Roby starts to roll over towards the ropes. Marcy and Jeff continue to celebrate as they get a rather cold reaction from the crowd and we go backstage.

Backstage, we enter the locker room of the former Misfits, the Brotherhood to see Thorn just smiling and joking around with Helms and Bishop. Jake Starr enters the locker room and walks in.

 

Thorn: “Damn it feels good to be champ!”

 

Jake just smirks as he walks in.

 

Jake: “Better than being Dillusion.”

 

Helms: “Yeah...about that....sorry he screwed you over like that.”

 

Thorn: “We should’ve headed out to help-“

 

Jake: “Nothing you guys could’ve done. Josh Hudson had the situation figured out perfectly. Now I’m going to have to kick his ass.”

 

Bishop: “The announce table already helped you with that once.”

 

Jake just smirks.

 

Jake: “Regardless, let’s get some drinks. Let’s relax and celebrate. Thorn...you’ve done it.”

 

Thorn: “I know. I love it!”

 

Thorn actually laughs a bit, somewhat just letting himself go with the occasional giddiness he has. Helms just stands up and walks over to his friend and pats him on the back.

 

Helms: “Just great to see you with the World’s gold, man.”

 

Thorn just turns and pats his friend on the back too.

 

Thorn: “Feels good to do it with you guys.”

 

Thorn smiles as the crowd cheers and the scene fades to black.

Stacy Kissinger vs. Drew Weilacher

 

As the vocals are heard at the beginning of Haley Scarnato's "Girl's Night Out", Stacy Kissinger emerges from the backstage area with a microphone in hand. She stands on the stage wearing a very short white skirt and a plain white halter top. She does a slow 360 degree spin just so everyone in the arena can get a chance at checking her out. She begins singing the first few words of the first verse as she's completing her spin. At the end of the spin, a set of gold pyro explodes going from right to left on the stage...and then back to the right. As soon as it disappears only leaving smoke in its place, Stacy begins her descent down the wrestler ramp, heading to the ring still singing into the microphone. The females just warmly accept her as she gets closer and closer to the ring. When she gets to the ringside area, Stacy hops up onto the apron. At this point she places the microphone down on the apron and climbs up to the top rope before doing a beautiful, successful backflip into the ring. She then smiles warmly as she heads for a corner of the ring, getting ready to focus on the match at hand.

 

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger ironically, despite a few weeks ago saying that she’s moving on, is going to be facing one of her former allies in Drew Weilacher.”

 

Knots: “You can’t escape your past and Kissinger’s dealing with that right now.”

 

"Violence Fetish" sounds over the PA system and the crowd starts to boo as Drew Weilacher walks out onto the ramp. Drew growls at the crowd as he comes stalking down the ramp, intimidating fans and children, laughing at their fear. Then he climbs up onto the apron and steps over the ropes into the ring before looking at the referee. The referee bails and Drew walks around the ring before starting to pace back and forth. He turns to the entrance way and just glares as he continues to stand in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Drew Weilacher is the reason that Stacy Kissinger was out of action for about two months. Three Jersey Devil Drivers took her down and out.”

 

Dawson: “And remarkably, Stacy Kissinger has chosen to overlook that. She didn’t want to return to focus on Drew Weilacher or Greg Cherry or anyone else. She wanted to move forward.”

 

Knots: “But now, she’s going to get stopped and dropped by Drew Weilacher.”

 

Drew just looks at Stacy and actually gives her a toothy grin as Stacy glares at Drew. The bell sounds and Stacy moves in towards Drew and Drew reaches at her, but Stacy ducks and spins around. Drew turns and Stacy kicks him in the thigh, before striking him again. Drew swings and Stacy ducks and kicks him in the thigh again. Drew then pushes her back. Stacy stumbles back into the ropes. Drew then runs forward, limping a slight bit, attempting a clothesline, but Stacy ducks and then plants her feet and jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking Drew up and over the top rope and to the floor. He turns and falls to a knee. Stacy looks at him before turning and running into the ropes. She bounces off them before sliding and hitting a baseball slide to the chest of Drew, knocking him back and causing him to fall hard into the announce tables. He the turns, holding his back in a bit of pain.

 

Dawson: “Kissinger taking the fight to Drew Weilacher. She’s using her speed and keeping that advantage she’s created for herself.”

 

Sharper: “Kissinger taking Weilacher back with a baseball slide and Weilacher is in a bit of pain. This is something we’re not used to seeing.”

 

Drew gets up and smacks the top of the announce table before turning and hopping onto the apron and Stacy quickly jumps up and dropkicks him, knocking him off again and rolling over. Drew then gets back up and winces before running forward and sliding into the ring. His aggressiveness gets the better of him as Stacy quickly dropkicks him in the head. Drew rolls over and slowly reaches over before starting to pull himself up. He then slowly stirs and Stacy grabs him and drops him with a DDT. She then rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Drew just shoves Stacy off. Stacy rolls over and slowly starts to pull herself up. Drew rolls over and grabs the ropes and starts to get up only for Stacy to come over and kick him in the ribs. The crowd ohs and cheers as Stacy then grabs Drew. She then drags him out to the middle of the ring before then grabbing him by the head again, but Drew suddenly hoists him up and throws her forward, causing her to crash to the mat hard, chest first.

 

Dawson: “Pure power...”

 

Knots: “Can’t just use your speed for everything. As I said, he’s going to drop her and drop her he did!”

 

Sharper: “Just hoisted her up and tossed her like she was nothing!”

 

Stacy gets back up and Drew suddenly places her head between his legs and hoists her up for a Jersey Devil Driver. The crowd roars and then starts to boo, but Stacy rolls through and attempts a sunset flip. Drew, however, manages to maintain his balance and nails her with a hard right. Stacy rolls over and Drew steps over her and walks around. Stacy rolls over and starts to get up and Drew just grabs her and quickly turns before throwing her face first into the top turnbuckle. Drew then grabs Stacy and pulls her in towards him only to press her over her head and then slam her down. The crowd boos and Drew walks over and goes for the pin.

Stacy kicks out. She rolls over and Drew quickly gets up and stomps her. He then walks around as Stacy starts to pull herself up. Drew then turns and whips her into the ropes. Kissinger bounces off the ropes and Drew turns only for Stacy to jump up and take Drew down with a Lou Thesz press. She nails Drew with several hard rights before Drew pushes her off. Stacy rolls over and gets back up as Drew slowly stirs. Stacy then runs at Drew only for Drew to lift him up and drop her with a sidewalk slam.

 

Sharper: “And again, the power of Drew Weilacher coming into play with a solid sidewalk slam.”

 

Knots: “Stacy’s not looking so hot. Weilacher may succeed here in getting rid of her again.”

 

Stacy rolls over and winces as Drew turns and pulls back on her legs for the pin.

 

1!

Stacy gets her shoulder up. Drew rolls over as Stacy starts to get back up. Drew just glares at her before grabbing Stacy and lifting her up. He just smirks before grabbing her by the throat and taking her over with a choke toss. Stacy rolls over and starts to get back up. Stacy then looks at Drew and Drew grabs her and whips her into the ropes. Stacy bounces off the ropes and Drew attempts a boot, but Stacy slides underneath. Drew turns around and Stacy jumps up and hits a standing enziguri. Drew stumbles around and Stacy then turns and runs into the ropes and bounces off them before jumping up and hitting a diving clothesline. The crowd cheers and Stacy pulls herself back up.

 

Sharper: “Stacy starting to cook again. Clothesline takes down the monster, Drew Weilacher!”

 

Knots: “Oh come on. Drew...don’t let her be lucky tonight!”

 

Dawson: “Stacy has Drew down. He’s slow to get up. She may get her revenge whether she wanted it or not!”

 

Weilacher stirs and slowly pulls himself up and Stacy runs into the ropes and bounces off them before jumping up and nailing him with a spinning heel kick. She then rolls over before turning and walking over to the corner. She smirks before climbing up to the top rope. Drew stirs a bit, starting to move and Kissinger turns and looks at him before diving off and hitting the High Note. The crowd roars and Kissinger turns and goes for the pin.

The crowd cheers and Kissinger gets up. She then turns and looks at Drew before backing up and the referee raises her arm in the air. She smiles before looking down and continuing to smile before walking over and going to the ropes and climbing up to the middle rope and raising her arms over her head. The crowd cheers some more.

 

Sharper: “I guess Stacy’s going to be fine their Jonathan.”

 

Knots: “Lucky...”

 

Sharper: “Drew Weilacher unable to put away Stacy Kissinger and whether she wanted it or not, she got some measure of revenge for that attack back in March.”

 

Dawson: “Not to mention some momentum heading into the biggest show of the year.”

 

Kissinger drops down and smiles before exiting the ring. She drops to the floor before turning around and heads to the back.

Backstage, we see Katie Steward sitting in front of a mirror. She got a wide array of makeup and cosmetics in front of her.

 

Katie: “Okay...so what should I where. I need to be perfect for when I bring the Women’s Championship back to me.”

 

Katie smiles as the crowd boos. TJ walks over and goes to grab one of the bottles. Katie immediately smacks his arm.

 

Katie: “No TJ! These are all very expensive! No one can touch them but me!”

 

Gigi and Madison then enter and walk over to Katie.

 

Gigi: “Oh no...”

 

Paris: “Yeah...she’s been like this for an hour.”

 

Katie: “Hey! It’s hard being beautiful!”

 

Madison: “You should use the navy eye shadow. It’ll just make you look awesome!”

 

Katie: “Pfft. That’s for going out. Ugh...I need a break.”

 

Katie then spins around and turns to Gigi and Madison.

 

Katie: “So...ready for helping me bring the Women’s Championship where it belongs?”

 

Gigi: “Oh yeah....Just wish it was me.”

 

Katie: “Don’t worry. Once I save the title, then all will be great and you’ll feel great as well.”

 

Gigi: “Yeah.....plus, I told CHBK I was done with Syren after the attack last Breakdown. I needed to get by her once. And I did.”

 

Katie: “Good. Now it’s my turn.”

 

Madison: “Yeah, G. That’s a good way to look at it.”

 

Katie: “Perfect...now....what concealer should I use?”

 

Katie turns back to the makeup and cosmetics as Robin can audibly be heard sighing.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward challenges for the SCW Women’s Championship against Syren, later tonight! Don’t go anywhere!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns to ringside and the crowd roars as “This is How a Heart Breaks” echoes throughout the arena. The cheers start to come from all over as we see the SCW Commissioner, the Canadian Heartbreak Kid, walk out from the back. He just smiles as he continues down the rampway and slowly starts to make his way to the ring.

 

Sharper: “And we’re going to joined by the SCW Commissioner, CHBK, and obviously, as we’ve heard, he’s out to confront Jason Zero.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Even though Zero clearly doesn’t want to deal with him. Zero wants to deal with Sasha, but CHBK has to keep his nose in it.”

 

Dawson: “Maybe it’s a bit more of just making sure he doesn’t take advantage of her relative newness to the position.”

 

Knots: “Tough. She’s the owner. She should be making the tough decisions. Not him. Clearly, he’s already shown that he’ll make the tough decisions but clearly in his favour.”

 

CHBK walks up the steel steps and walks along the apron. He steps through the ropes and enters the ring. He then walks over to Jason Phillips and being handed a microphone. CHBK smiles and thanks him before turning around and walking to the middle of the ring.

 

CHBK: “As everybody knows, one Jason Zero has been attempting to essentially extort a World Championship opportunity from not only myself, but Sasha Drachewych as well. And to be honest, I could go into a tirade about what I think about that, but regardless, the fact of the matter remains that last Breakdown, he failed to produce the contract that Sasha requested to make things official. He wanted to win Taking Hold of the Flame and the terms would change. Well....”

 

CHBK smirks.

 

CHBK: “He didn’t win. He was the third last individual eliminated. And so here we are in the tense situation of trying to figure out what is next for Jason Zero. And so, I’m not going to waste any time. Jason....make your demands now. I’m standing out here, waiting for you.”

 

CHBK brings the microphone away from his mouth as he walks around the ring. The crowd starts to a faint “Zero!” chant as CHBK just stands in the ring waiting. A few moments pass and no sign of the Personification of Chaos.

 

CHBK: “Come on Jason. I know you’re not shy.”

 

CHBK just continues to wait as a few boos come from the crowd and CHBK looks around before suddenly darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes blasts across the PA system as the lights come back up again and the screens fill with text.

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to the stage dressed in a fur cloak and hood, standing there for a moment raising her arms in to the air and seemingly absorbing the atmosphere with a satisfied grin on her face. She looks down at the ring as CHBK just smirks and leans forward and leans on the top rope. She then reveals a microphone in her hand.

 

Ravyn: “First off, let me clear up any misconceptions since I know your sight may not be as good as it was in your youth. I am not Jason Zero. But I am probably equally, if not, more problematic for you and Sasha Drachewych.”

 

The crowd boos as Ravyn pauses and paces a bit.

 

Ravyn: “See, honestly, I’m starting to get thoroughly annoyed. I heard your little speech earlier and that was only the icing on the cake. It could be that myself and Dark Triad are getting passed over as usual. It could be that you have both of the Dark Triad or Dark Triad affiliated championships being defended tonight, while noticeable, all others have gotten the night off or are in non-title competition. It could also be that perhaps I’m sick of you spewing the absolutely ridiculously false phraseology designed to engender hope and the appearance of objectiveness when you’re anything but.”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Ravyn pauses briefly before continuing.

 

Ravyn: “But quite honestly, the last couple of weeks have simply shown how pathetic you have become. You’ve victimized Syren, our reigning Women’s Champion, simply for affiliating with me. You’re victimizing Lucas Knight for the same reasoning tonight. You’re taking your disdain for my opinions on everyone but me. Are you frightened by a woman in power? Are you frightened by what is different, but equally as powerful?”

 

CHBK just smirks.

 

CHBK: “You know Ravyn. I could give a vicious diatribe in equally impressive language talking about all of your own allegedly flaws, but perhaps I should request to you to review what you just said. I feel that you’ve maybe gone insane. I could swear that under your assumption that I have something against females, nevermind that I’m subordinate to one, you mentioned a fear of difference and yet, you’re the one using this anti-chauvinist rhetoric!”

 

Sharper: “Has a point.”

 

Knots: “Typical of you to say that, you pig.”

 

Dawson: “I’m not even going to point out the hypocrisy in that statement Jonathan.”

 

Ravyn: “You’re the one making that assumption.”

 

CHBK: “Hardly. I’ve read your public statements where you mention how I’m chauvinist and that men are nothing. I think you’re threatened by me.”

 

CHBK just smirks.

 

Ravyn: “No...I think Sasha is threatened by you. See, last Breakdown, you stepped over the line. If you have an issue with me, take it out on me. Not Syren. She is innocent in all of this. In fact, I distinctly remember mentioning on those same public statements that I demanded an apology from you at Taking Hold of the Flame. I did not get one. Neither did Syren. And I don’t know whether I should expect one. But I ask how strong your stranglehold is on Sasha. Because I already discussed my outrage with your actions last Breakdown. And I can only hope that she shows half the strength she hopes to show whenever she comes out here and considers what I’ve said. Are you prepared to take that risk?”

 

CHBK just smirks.

 

CHBK: “Ravyn...you clearly don’t know me well. Sasha told me of your little meeting...and it was interesting. She can gladly go back and see the type of person I was in 2003...2004.....2005....Seems like you have. And in that case, you should know who you’re dealing with. But in case you don’t. Allow me to offer a minor middleground. Because I can tell you care deeply for Syren and she’s a nice girl. She’s in a bad crowd, but that’s something else. And I’ll make it up to you. Later tonight, you’re teaming with your other Dark Triad sister in Brittany Lohan to face Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent. Should you two be victorious...at Rise to Greatness, we will then see Dark Fantasy challenge Karnivale for those Tag Team Championships!”

 

Ravyn actually smiles a bit as the crowd roars. CHBK just smiles.

 

CHBK: “I can tell by your reaction that you like the idea.”

 

“This is How a Heart Breaks” starts to play and the crowd cheers a bit as Ravyn just looks at CHBK. CHBK just smirks as Ravyn continues to look down.

 

Knots: “Well, I’ll be damned.”

 

Sharper: “How about that? CHBK with a very fair decision. Maybe they’ve proven themselves. They’ll have their opportunity here tonight when Ravyn and Lohan face Shilo and Marina Trent. If Ravyn and Lohan win, Dark Fantasy has their Tag Title shot at the grandest stage of them all.”

 

Dawson: “Wow. And Ravyn’s even speechless.”

 

Just then, the scene cuts backstage to see Jason Zero in Sasha Drachewych’s office. Sasha just looks up at Zero as Zero pulls a contract out of his pocket.

 

Sasha: “What’s that?”

 

Zero: “It’s what you wanted from me last Breakdown. A formal contract.”

 

Sasha takes it and looks at it before looking up at Zero.

 

Sasha: “You will give me the shares to be added to the Rise to Greatness main event...to the SCW Championship match.”

 

Zero: “Exactly....think about it for a bit. I’ve already signed it.”

 

Zero smiles as Sasha just examines it further. The shot cuts back to the arena to see CHBK exiting the ring and starting to walk to the back, watching the big screen. We then go back to the scene backstage to see Zero smiling and then walking out of the office. Sasha just takes a deep breath as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see CHBK walking backstage before entering Sasha’s office. He then looks around and doesn’t see Zero.

 

CHBK: “Where’s Zero?”

 

Sasha: “He left a few minutes ago.”

 

CHBK: “He gave you the contract.”

 

Sasha: “Yeah...he wants a spot in the World title match at Rise to Greatness for the shares.”

 

CHBK: “You going to do it?”

 

Sasha just looks down and shakes his head.

 

Sasha: “I don’t know...I just don’t know. You know Zero better.”

 

CHBK: “Yeah...and who knows what he’ll do. You’re going to have to figure it all out.”

 

Sasha: “I guess-“

 

Just then a knock is heard at the door. CHBK and Sasha turn and CHBK looks a bit uneasy as Sasha gets up and smiles and walks around her desk. The crowd then roars as Michael Mordrid enters the office.

 

Mordrid: “Good day, both of you.”

 

Sasha: “Why hello Michael. Thanks for showing up tonight.”

 

Mordrid: “Not a problem.”

 

Sasha shakes Mordrid’s hand and CHBK just looks at him before reluctantly shaking his hand.

 

CHBK: “So why you here Michael?”

 

Mordrid: “Oh...Sasha didn’t tell you?”

 

CHBK: “No...she didn’t.”

 

Mordrid: “Oh...”

 

Sasha: “Yeah...Alex....Michael will be acting as the producer for our new show starting August 13th.”

 

Mordrid: “Exactly. And I can’t wait to talk to you about some of the ideas.”

 

Sasha: “That’s why I have him here.”

 

CHBK: “Oh...fantastic....”

 

Sasha: “Let’s get started...”

 

Sasha smiles as she walks around and sits down at her desk as CHBK just closes the door behind Mordrid and we head back to ringside.

 

Sharper: “Michael Mordrid is back in SCW?”

 

Knots: “Last time, he had shares!”

 

Dawson: “Yeah, but Drachewych bought them back. We haven’t seen him in nearly a year and a half! And he’s the producer for the new show. Oh my....”

Rachel Foxx vs. Andrew Samuel Pugh

 

The lights soon goes off as ASP's music blast through the PA system.

I know way too many people here right now that I didn’t know last year
who the [edit] are y’all
I swear it feels like the last few nights we’ve been everywhere and back
but I just can’t remember it all
what am I doing, what am I doing

As the chorus begins to play, ASP, Andrew Samuel Pugh struts out to the ramp and plays to the crowd, getting some cheers from the fans. ASP soon walks down to the ring, waves and points to some of his "loyal" fans. ASP slides into the rings and throws his arm up in the air as his music fades out.

 

Dawson: “Andrew Samuel Pugh is going to have his hands full here tonight. He’s got the Suicide Queen.”

 

Knots: “And I’ve heard rumours that the moron asked for the match, looking to make an impact on CHBK or Sasha. Yeah...the only impact you may be making tonight is from Rachel Foxx dropping you and taking out her frustrations on you.”

 

The silhouette fades, and the words "THE SUICIDE QUEEN" appear in jagged letters, and then fade. More lightning strikes illuminate a picture of Rachel's eyes, and then fade into the words "RACHEL FOXX". As the intro reaches its climax, we hear a sadistic female laugh. The intro ends and loud guitars begin blaring over the speakers as blue pyros shoot up in front of the entrance. After a few moments, Rachel Foxx walks out the wall of blue sparks. The sparks fade and the house lights return, casting an eerie blue glow over the entire arena. Rachel takes a deep breath, plasters an evil grin on her lips. She then begin to walk to the ring. The crowd boos, but she ignores them as she slowly swaggers down the ramp. Rachel slowly makes her way into the ring. Rachel climbs the turnbuckle and raises her arms in the air as a wall of fire shoots up behind her. Evil burns in her eyes as she tilts her head back and releases a sadistic laugh. After a few moments, the flames die down, and Rachel hops off the turnbuckle.

 

Dawson: “This may say something, but it may not. We’ve heard rumours that Alex Desoubrais Jr. has not been around her since Breakdown, but she’s alone here.”

 

Sharper: “But let’s not mistake something here. Rachel Foxx is one of the most brutal individuals in SCW. Alex Desoubrais Jr., here or not, she’s still very capable of getting the job done.”

 

Dawson: “And ASP is going to test that right now.”

 

The bell sounds and suddenly Rachel Foxx runs across the ring and kicks ASP in the ribs. ASP staggers back as boos flurry from all around the arena. Rachel kicks him again and then nails him with a forearm. ASP falls back into the corner and Rachel grabs him and nails him with a chop. The crowd woos before Rachel grabs ASP and whips him across the ring. Rachel then turns and runs after him, but ASP gets his boot up. Rachel staggers back and ASP pulls himself up onto the middle turnbuckle before diving forward and hitting a double axe handle smash. The crowd cheers a bit as Rachel rolls over and gets back up and ASP runs into the ropes and bounces off the ropes and clotheslines her down. Rachel rolls over and gets back up and ASP snapmares her over before jumping up and hitting a double knee to the back of Rachel’s head. Rachel falls back and ASP goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out. She then rolls over and ASP immediately grabs the arm and jerks back on it, driving his knee into the elbow and grinding it down. Rachel winces as she slowly gets her feet back under her.

 

Dawson: “ASP with some smart tactical wrestling. He’s staying right on her.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. But all this may be doing is pissing her off.”

 

Sharper: “But with Rachel under some control, that can be prevented from being a big matter.”

 

Dawson: “Well Rachel may be quickly getting out of this...”

 

Rachel manages to rolls forward and then nip up before kicking ASP in the ribs. She then grabs ASP and takes him over with a snap suplex. ASP winces and Rachel then turns around and drives her forearm into the jaw of ASP. She rears back and nails him again. She then nails him a third time before getting up and walking around the ring. ASP rolls over, looking bit dazed and Rachel then turns and runs over to ASP as he gets up before taking him over with a swinging neckbreaker. She follows up with a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

ASP kicks out. Rachel looks down and then mounts ASP before hammering away at him with several hard rights to the forehead. She then looks down and starts to bite ASP as ASP writhes in pain as the referee demands the break. Rachel just gets up and glares at the referee, walking towards him and the referee backs up. ASP slowly rolls over and starts to get back up.

 

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx could care less about the rules. She’s using ASP as her own punching bag.”

 

Knots: “And doggy bone apparently.”

 

Dawson: “Was that really the best choice of words there?”

 

Knots: “I’m hoping she’s not watching this later.”

 

Rachel walks back over to ASP and stomps him in the head. ASP rolls over. He winces in pain and Rachel then drops down and starts to choke ASP. ASP struggles to breathe as the referee comes back over and counts again. Rachel just keeps pushing down as ASP stamps his feet in pain before Rachel finally breaks at four. She then gets up and glares at the referee again. The referee backs away and Rachel turns back only for ASP to reach up and rake her eyes. Rachel turns and shakes her head in pain. ASP rolls over and starts to get up and Rachel gets back to her feet and turns to ASP only for ASP to jump up and take her over with a hurricanrana into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out. Both competitors get back up and ASP nails Rachel with a hard right and then a kick to the ribs. He turns and fires Rachel into the ropes. Rachel bounces off the ropes and ASP lifts her up and drops her with a flapjack. The crowd cheers as Rachel rolls over and grimaces before reaching to the ropes and starts to get back up.

 

Knots: “I don’t believe it. ASP has come to fight.”

 

Dawson: “And he drops Rachel Foxx down face first into the mat. She may be a bit dazed as she gets back to her feet.”

 

Rachel gets up and ASP scoops her up and slams her down. He then turns and walks over to the corner. He looks out and the crowd cheers a bit before ASP starts to climb up to the top rope. He gets all the way to the top and glances back. He then dives back and attempts a moonsault. Rachel suddenly rolls over and gets up and ASP manages to land on his feet. He hops back before moving forward and Rachel kicks him in the ribs before hitting the Foxx Girl Stunner. The crowd ohs and Rachel rolls over and hooks the leg for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

ASP gets his shoulder up and the crowd cheers again. Rachel looks at the referee and gets up and before slowly walking back towards him. The crowd starts to boo as the referee finally stands up to her a bit. She then grabs him by the hair only for ASP to suddenly roll Rachel over with a school boy.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out.

 

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx needs to focus a bit more. She was saying she was going to take things out on Pugh, but she’s focusing more on the referee!”

 

Knots: “Well maybe the referee was eying her!”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. Sure. She’s just so unbalanced that she can’t focus. She’s snapped!”

 

Rachel and ASP get up and ASP kicks her in the ribs. He then grabs her and sees to set up for the Evenflow, but Rachel nails him in the ribs. ASP clubs her in the back only for Rachel to drive her forearm again into the ribs and then spins around and pulls ASP in and hits the Suicide Note. The crowd boos and Rachel rolls ASP over and then hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos and Rachel just looks down at ASP before getting up and scowling at him further. She then turns and walks over to the ropes and steps through them before dropping down to the floor. She then starts to walk towards the back.

 

Sharper: “And Rachel stops and drops Andrew Samuel Pugh. That Suicide Note...out of nowhere and it gives her the win.”

 

Knots: “I was hoping she’d leave him a bloody mess.”

 

Dawson: “But there’s an eerie unstable calmness about her. She’s just going to the back.”

 

Sharper: “She’s been all over the place the last few weeks and this makes no suggestions she any more stable.”

 

Rachel continues to slowly make her way to the back as the crowd boos her. ASP starts to stir and Rachel Foxx then stops, looking up at the big screen before seeing ASP starting to stir. She then turns around and starts to make her way back down to the ring, getting roars from the crowd before suddenly “Who Wouldn’t Wanna Be Me” starts to play throughout the arena. Rachel just stops in her tracks and turns back to the entrance way to see Alex Desoubrais Jr. walking out from the back. He stops at the top of the entrance way and Rachel Foxx then starts to walk in the opposite direction towards him.

 

Dawson: “Oh boy.”

 

Knots: “Well, you know Alex Jr...I’ve liked the kid. But sadly, we’ll no longer know him after this!”

 

Sharper: “Two weeks ago, Alex Desoubrais Jr. superkicked Rachel Foxx, preventing her from striking their then ally, Glacier, with a sledgehammer. We’ve been wondering why since then!”

 

 Rachel continues to walk up to him, seething and Alex Jr. doesn’t waver at all. He just stands there and Rachel just walks right up to him and starts to get right in his face. She just continues to fume before Alex Jr. suddenly grabs her and kisses her right at the top of the stage. The crowd boos and Alex Jr. then turns and holds Rachel’s arm up as Rachel actually looks a bit confused before then turning and embracing Alex Jr., kissing him again. She then backs away as Alex Jr. just exudes a soft smile and Rachel continues to be confused before Alex Jr. turns and walks towards the back. Rachel turns and just follows him as the boos continue.

 

Knots: “He’s not dead? What the heck did we just see?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t think Rachel Foxx even knows. Alex Jr. arguably just prevented himself from getting his head taken off and Rachel melted....almost melted.”

 

Knots: “What the hell’s going on here?”

The scene opens backstage to see Lucas Knight in the Dark Triad locker room with the SCW Underground Championship belt. He just takes a deep breath and stands up, jumping up, trying to get the blood flowing.

 

Sharper: “And there you see the SCW Underground Champion and he’s going to be defending his title in just a few moments against Glacier and-“

 

We then see Christy Matthews, Lucas’ wife, enter the room. Lucas just looks at her before quickly stepping by her and going out of the room, Christy just glaring at him the entire time. Christy just shakes her head before turning around and Ravyn then walks over to Christy.

 

Christy: “Seems like he’s getting the hint.”

 

Ravyn: “Don’t blame him. You’ve given him a bit of a cold reaction.”

 

Christy: “Yeah...well....”

 

Ravyn: “Well I’m just curious...you haven’t thought of any revenge or anything.”

 

Christy just smiles.

 

Christy: “Ravyn...don’t worry....Lucas is all that I’m worried about....and he’s going to learn his lesson. Trust me on that....”

 

Christy just smiles as she then walks farther into the locker room. Ravyn just smirks, chuckling a bit under her breath as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Marina Trent just sitting in the corner of the Karnivale locker room, breathing heavily, seemingly trying to calm herself down. Shilo is just watching her, clearly concerned before walking over and sitting next to her, placing his arm around her.

 

Shilo: “Just relax...”

 

Marina: “Shilo....”

 

Shilo: “No pressure tonight. Just do your best.”

 

Marina: “But if you lose, they get a title shot.”

 

Shilo: “And we’ll worry about that then. Just relax. You’re getting worked up about nothing.”

 

Marina: “Yeah....well....”

 

Masquerade: “Hey guys! LOOK WHAT I MADE!”

 

Shilo just looks up as does Marina. Claire Voyant just shakes her head. We then see Masquerade with a hat rack, but with his Tag and Adrenaline titles over it.

 

Masquerade: “I made a belt rack! For our awesome bling!”

 

Shilo just blinks.

 

Shilo: “You realize that’s a hat rack...”

 

Masquerade just puts down the hat rack, causing it and the belts to crash to the floor.

 

Masquerade: “You know...you used to enable my insanity.”

 

Shilo: “Ah....”

 

Masquerade then sees Marina still trying to calm herself down.

 

Masquerade: “Oh....well...Marina...just relax. Go out there. You’re with Shilo. You feel at home. I know I do when I’m in the ring with him.”

 

Masquerade sarcastically looks at Shilo endearingly. Marina just chuckles a bit.

 

Masquerade: “There we go....now....BELT RACK!”

 

Marina: “It is quite nice...”

 

Masquerade: “THANK YOU!”

 

Shilo just shakes his head as we go back to ringside.

 

Knots: “Morons....”

 

Dawson: “Well they’re certainly eccentric...”

Glacier vs. Lucas Knight

SCW Underground Championship

 

"Colder Than Ice" by KC Blaze blasts as a blue mist creeps onto the ramp. Out comes Glacier with an unzipped navy hooded jacket on with dark blue jeans that stop at the knee and white sneakers. He takes down the hood and looks up at the crowd that have a mixed reaction for him. As he walks down the ramp blue pyros go off on the sides of the ramp. He smirks and walks up the steel steps. Glacier gets in the ring and climbs the nearby turnbuckle. He raises his hands in the air as the cheers start to overtake the boos. Glacier smirks as the crowd. He gets down from the turnbuckle and takes out his jacket then throws it to one of the female fans who scream at seeing his eight-pack.

 

Sharper: “The world is talking about that young man a bit today. At Taking Hold of the Flame, he costs Justin Davis the World Championship.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. He cost his friend that. Well, I guess they’re not friends anymore.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. And notably, Rachel, Alex Jr. nor Davis at this point have said anything about it. I don’t know what to think about that.”

 

Dawson: “Regardless, Davis is definitely not pleased and I doubt Rachel is either.”

 

Out go the lights with a flick of the switch, with it an air raid siren shortly follows along with gun fire and various explosions depicting a war. The screen above the stage illuminates with the images of various wars from over the years, each one burning away to reveal another and till the letters S C W flicker on the screen and “Indestructible” by Disturbed kicks in fully.

Phillips: "Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing at this time hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada and representing his home nation the United Kingdom. He weighed in tonight at two-hundred and thirty pounds and is your CURRENT SCW UNDERGROUND CHAMPION, "THE MONACHY, LUCAS KNIGHT!"

All eyes divert to the stage which is now glowing a crimson red where we see a hooded figure standing dead centre with his arms at his side, the lights come back on thanks to the Red and white Pyrotechnics’. Knight is wearing a sleeveless hooded trench coat with the Union Jack faded in areas. As he looks up to stare at the crowd out walks Nathan Slade with the solid steel cricket bat resting over one shoulder while the SCW Underground Championship rests over the other. The pair then begin to walk towards the ring paying the crowd no attention what so ever. Slade hangs outside performing his usual security roll as Lucas slides into the ring via the bottom rope and climbs up to the second turnbuckle extending his arm. He then unbuttons the jacket and takes it off. Afterwards he throws it down to the outside and follows suit to the canvas before pacing back and forth awaiting his opponent with a fire in his eyes like no other.

 

Knots: “Now this! THIS is just unfair. He went through a war with Fred Debonair. He then went into the battle royal and was in there for something like forty minutes. Tonight, he has to defend his title against Glacier?!”

 

Sharper: “Glacier arguably is the number one contender after defeating Fred Debonair and Brayden Walker, but I can’t deny that Lucas Knight has had a hell of a schedule lately, but he somewhat did it to himself. He wanted the two matches at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

 

Knots: “Yeah...because God knows CHBK probably wouldn’t give it to him!”

 

Dawson: “I think you’re mistaking Lucas Knight for Ravyn Taylor.”

 

Knots: “They’re allied! Same thing!”

 

Lucas just looks at the Underground Championship on his shoulder and the referee walks over and goes to take it and Lucas pulls it back and snaps at the official. The official just tells him he needs it and Lucas snaps at him again. He holds the title away from him before suddenly, we see Glacier runs across the ring and kicks Lucas in the ribs. Lucas turns and spins down to his seat and Glacier turns and nails him with a hard right and Lucas falls through the ropes to the floor. The Underground Championship lands on the ground next to him as the bell sounds. Glacier then steps through the ropes and drops down before looking at Lucas and grabbing the Underground Championship. Lucas gets up and turns to Glacier only for Glacier to run forward and drills Lucas in the face with the belt. The crowd roars and Glacier turns and tosses it to the official. The official catches it and quickly hands it off to the timekeeper.

 

Dawson: “Glacier isn’t going to waste time. He’s gone right after Lucas Knight and Knight is down, holding his head, in pain!”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Glacier’s going to cost Justin Davis the World Title at Taking Hold of the Flame and the Underground Championship tonight! God damn it!”

 

Glacier walks over and grabs Lucas Knight and slowly lifts him up before turning and driving him face first into the announce table. Lucas spins around and falls over. He then starts to slowly get back up, crawling over to an extra chair at ringside. Glacier walks over after him and Lucas grabs the chair, and turns and swings, but Glacier ducks before kicking him in the ribs. Lucas drops the chair and Glacier smirks before grabbing the chair and turning and driving the seat into the ribs of Lucas. Lucas staggers back and walks around the ring. Glacier then folds up the chair. He then turns around and walks over to Lucas before lifting the chair and driving it into his skull. Lucas falls back and rolls over as the crowd cheers. Glacier turns and tosses the chair into the ring.

 

Knots: “God! And he’s going to give him a concussion too! This is what CHBK and Sasha wanted! This is horrible.”

 

Sharper: “Would you stop it? This is for the title. If Lucas Knight didn’t want the responsibilities that came with being a champion, he shouldn’t have tried so damn hard to be Underground Champion!”

 

Knots: “But he’s greatness personified. He doesn’t try. He just does!”

 

Dawson: “Well now he’s getting destroyed. I guess he’s not trying that that, eh?”

 

Lucas slowly stirs and Glacier walks over and grabs him before turning and whipping him over at the steel steps. The top half fall over and Lucas just falls back. The crowd cheers and Glacier walks over and drops down to his knees before covering Lucas. The referee counts.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Lucas gets his shoulder up. The crowd sighs and Glacier turns and grabs Lucas. He then kicks him in the ribs before placing his head between his legs. He looks around as he then grabs the tights of Lucas, but Lucas suddenly back drops Glacier, causing him to land hard on the bottom half of the steel steps. The crowd ohs as Glacier winces in pain. Lucas then turns around and stomps him in the face. Glacier then rolls over and falls down to the ground. Lucas leans on the barricade as a fan starts to get in his face. Lucas turns and spits at him before turning and grabbing Glacier. Glacier is lifted to his feet and Lucas then nails him with a European uppercut and Glacier staggers back. Lucas then runs forward and clotheslines him up and over the barricade and into the crowd. Lucas then falls to his knees before crawling over towards the ring.

 

Dawson: “Glacier sent over the barricade and into the crowd. Lucas is now just getting some distance. He’s finally gotten some offense. He needs to now catch a breath.”

 

Knots: “Maybe he can find something under that ring to punish Glacier with. God knows the man needs it.”

 

Sharper: “Glacier, as his name suggests, is as cold as he’d like to be. Glacier already starting to slowly lift himself up in the crowd.”

 

Glacier slowly gets up as some of the fans cheer him on from right next to him. Knight meanwhile reaches under the ring before getting up. He then sees Glacier before revealing himself to have a broom in his hand. He then runs over and drills the end of the broom into the throat of Glacier. Glacier just falls back, coughing in pain. Knight throws the broom down before walking back over and dropping to his knees. He pulls out a table as the crowd roars. He unfolds the table legs before screwing them in place and then turning around and places it down. He then turns and reaches under the ring again before grabbing a second table. The crowd roars further and Lucas unfolds the legs and screws them in place before placing it next to the first table. Glacier meanwhile rolls over the barricade and back in ringside. Knight walks over towards him and stomps him in the side of the head.

 

Dawson: “Lucas Knight moving some furniture around as he has two tables set up at ringside.”

 

Knots: “He may be making sure Glacier won’t make it to Rise to Greatness. Hell, after this, Justin Davis may be hailing Lucas Knight a national hero!”

 

Sharper: “My God you like overstating things!”

 

Knots: “Hey! I have on good word that Justin Davis is a Lucas Knight fan.”

 

Sharper: “Sure. Where’d you get your news?”

 

Knots: “Some online forum.”

 

Glacier rolls over and Knight grabs him and rolls him over and places him in the ring. Knight rolls back in and Glacier starts to stir only for Knight to grab him from behind and hit the Hail Brittania. Glacier rolls over, holding his head in pain. Knight then grabs him and slowly hoists him up before then locking him in a front chancery and powering him up onto the top turnbuckle. Knight then turns and walks over to the corner and climbs up to the middle rope. He then nails Glacier with a hard right and then another before turning and trying to throw him off the top rope. Slade cheers him on at ringside as Lucas then tries to throw Glacier again. Glacier holds on. Knight climbs up to the top rope and grabs Glacier and both stand on the top rope. The crowd rises to their feet and Knight tries again, but Glacier grabs Knight and both men throw each other off the top rope and through the two tables. The crowd ohs and rises to their feet cheering. Both men are just out in the table debris.

 

Dawson: “Good lord! They just threw each other off the top rope. Neither one may make it to Rise to Greatness at this rate.”

 

Knots: “Justin Davis has to be celebrating, but poor Lucas. Come on Lucas. Slade! Help him up. Roll him over. Do something!”

 

Sharper: “He doesn’t want him involved. In any case, both Knight and Glacier are down. Who is going to walk away the Underground Champion? We’ll find out...after this!”

 

The scene slowly starts to fade to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Lucas Knight knocking Glacier down with a clothesline in the middle of the ring. In one corner, we see the backing of a crate. Lucas meanwhile grabs the chair that Glacier had thrown in earlier and lifts it up before placing it down in the middle of the ring, opened.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. You see Lucas Knight in control of Glacier. He managed to just barely beat him to his feet. Along with that, Nathan Slade is getting more involved.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah. He’s grabbed a few weapons. You see the crate backing there and we’ve noticed in his hand a steel chain.”

 

Knots: “It’s his own protection. Nothing more.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah...sure.”

 

Lucas meanwhile grabs Glacier and nails him with a hard right before whipping him into the ropes. Glacier bounces off the ropes and Lucas goes to lift him up, but Glacier kicks him in the chest. Lucas pops up and Glacier suddenly scoops Lucas up and drops him with a spinebuster through the seat of the chair! The crowd ohs and Lucas rolls over, arching his back in immense pain. Glacier just stays on his knees and smirks before getting up. He then turns and grabs Lucas and stands over him before placing his arms on his knees and looking to go for a camel clutch. Slade quickly hops onto the apron and Glacier throws Lucas down, causing his face to bounce off the apron and Glacier runs over. Slade drops down and Glacier just glares at him. He then walks back over to Lucas and drops his elbow across his back.

 

Dawson: “Glacier is focusing on that back that has to be weakened after that spinebuster.”

 

Knots: “Come on. That’s just too much.”

 

Sharper: “No holds barred. It’s the Underground division.”

 

Lucas rolls over in pain, still arching his back. Glacier turns and grabs Lucas and slowly lifts him up. He then scoops him up and hits a backbreaker. Lucas rolls over and punches the mat in pain. Glacier turns and then walks over to the crate panel. As he does this, Slade tosses the chain over to Lucas and Lucas quickly grabs it and places it around his fist. Glacier grabs the crate panel. He then walks back over to Lucas and Lucas turns and drives the chain-wrapped fist into the ribs of Glacier. Glacier winces, backing up a bit, bent over. Lucas then nails him with an uppercut and Glacier flies up before falling back to the ropes and then down to the mat. He rolls over, holding his jaw in pain. Lucas pulls himself back up and Glacier turns back to him only for Lucas to quickly spike him with a DDT on the crate panel. The crowd boos and Lucas rolls him over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Glacier shoots his shoulder up.

 

Sharper: “No! Not yet! Glacier still fighting!”

 

Knots: “God damn it! The bastard really wants to win the title!”

 

Sharper: “Would give him also an extra bit of insult to injury with regards to Justin Davis and what happened at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

 

Knots: “Oh yeah. You’d love that!”

 

Slade smacks the canvas and Lucas just looks up before turning and glaring at him. Slade just holds his hand up, apparently knowing what to do. Lucas then stomps Glacier in the face before stomping him in the chest. He then grabs Glacier and slowly lifts him up before unwrapping his chain and placing it around the throat of Glacier. He slowly lifts him up and then spins around and takes him down with a chain-assisted neckbreaker. The crowd boos. He then sits up as Slade slides in the ringbell. Lucas crawls over to it before placing it in a position he prefers with the bell facing upwards. The crowd boos and Lucas then turns and grabs Glacier before rolling him onto his stomach and starting to lift him up. He then places his head between his legs and backs up a bit, such that he’s standing over the ringbell. The crowd starts to roar.

 

Sharper: “Oh no. No...not this.”

 

Knots: “Yes this. Do it! Do it!”

 

Dawson: “Justin Davis must have a huge smile on his face right now.”

 

Sharper: “It would explain why he’s not out here right now.”

 

Lucas goes to lift Glacier up, attempting a piledriver, but Glacier drops back down before lifting Lucas up and back dropping him over. Glacier falls to his knees. He then smirks as he grabs the ring bell. Lucas rolls over slowly and gets back up. Glacier then turns and swings and drills Lucas in the face with the ring bell. The crowd cheers and Lucas falls down to the mat. Glacier drops the ring bell before turning and hooking the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Lucas shoots his shoulder up and the crowd ohs. Glacier rolls over and just shakes his head. He then gets up and turns and grabs the ringbell again. He lifts it up and Slade suddenly hops up onto the apron. Glacier however suddenly turns around and cracks him in the head with it. The crowd cheers as Slade falls onto the apron and down to the floor. Glacier just smirks as he backs away and then turns around only for Lucas to suddenly hoist him up onto his shoulders and take him over with a Death Valley Driver. The crowd ohs and Lucas falls back to his back. Glacier just lays out.

 

Sharper: “Death Valley Driver, from nowhere!”

 

Knots: “And just like that, Glacier’s title hopes go nowhere!”

 

Lucas rolls over the opposite direction from Glacier and smiles. He then turns and sees Glacier as Glacier starts to slowly stir, holding his head in pain. Lucas then turns and grabs Glacier before lifting him up, only for Glacier to push Lucas away, breaking his hold and spewing the Ice Mist into Lucas Knight’s face. Glacier then falls back to his back as Lucas turns around, rubbing his eyes in pain and falls to his hands and knees. Lucas crawls over to the ropes and Glacier slowly stirs. He starts to get up and turns to Lucas. He grabs Lucas and then goes to lift him up before suddenly, we see Justin Davis slide into the ring with a sledgehammer in his hand. The crowd boos loudly and Glacier turns around, hearing the boos only for Lucas to actually mule kick him. Glacier drops down to his knees in pain and Davis just looks at him and smiles widely before drilling Glacier in the head with the sledgehammer. Glacier falls over and Lucas drops to his knees. Davis then just steps back as the boos continue and Lucas crawls over to Glacier, rolling him over and then just placing himself on top of him.

 

Sharper: “Just like Taking Hold of the Flame....just instead of the Ice Mist...it’s a sledgehammer!”

 

Knots: “Davis cracked him in the side of the head. Glacier’s done for!”

 

Dawson: “And Knight, getting on top of him for the pin. He’s going to retain!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos and Lucas Knight rolls off of Glacier and smirks before looking at Davis. Davis then steps over Glacier before looking at the sledgehammer in his hand and smirks. Knight gets to the apron as Nathan Slade grabs his belt. He then winces a bit as he holds his head and walks over to Knight. Knight holds his title over his head as he starts to leave and the crowd boos. The cameras then focus on Davis in the ring who then holds the hammerhead at the end of his fist and then drops down and drives it into the side of Glacier’s head, dropping him back down. He then spins the hammer around before smiling.

 

Sharper: “Lucas Knight retains his Underground Championship in his first defence, but the attention has now been turned to Justin Davis who stands over Glacier with a sledgehammer!”

 

Dawson: “And with each shot, there’s a concussion. Brain damage. He’s going for broke. He’s going to make Glacier pay!”

 

Davis then bends down and takes the edge of the hammer and drives it into the skull of Glacier. Glacier yells in pain and stamps his feet in pain as Davis keeps driving the hammerhead into his skull. Glacier tries to struggle, but his far too weakened after the match and hammer blows to do much. Davis then rips away and Glacier rolls over before Davis just drops the hammer. He then grabs the destroyed chair in the ring and folds it up before stomping on it to make it somewhat flat. The dent, however, is still obvious. He then turns it over, so the bottom of the seat is facing up. Davis then walks over to Glacier as Glacier clearly is bleeding; the edge of the hammer doing enough to clearly bust him open.

 

Dawson: “Oh no. He’s busted open. Someone get out here and stop this!”

 

Sharper: “Everyone’s trying to make an impact for Rise to Greatness, but this...this isn’t that. This is just to return a favour. This is how personal this has become. We don’t even know why. Glacier’s been quite silent on SCW programming.”

 

Knots: “So what? Davis doesn’t care. He knows what he knows and that was that Glacier cost Davis the big one!”

 

Officials finally start to make their way down as Davis lifts Glacier to his feet and kicks him in the ribs. He then looks at him, yelling at him.

 

Davis: “This is just a taste of what’s in your future! This is what you’re doomed to! Is this what you wanted? Huh?!”

 

Davis then hoists Glacier up before looking turning and dropping him with a Lip Sealer on the bottom of the seat of the chair he just folded, causing the lip of the seat to do extra damage, cutting up Glacier a bit more in the forehead. Glacier rolls over and holds his face in pain. Davis then gets up as officials finally enter the ring and manage to push him away. Davis just glares at Glacier as the crowd boos loudly. Some of the officials keep holding Davis back as Davis then walks over as the mass moves with him. Davis grabs the sledgehammer before backing up to the ropes. Some of the other officials check on Glacier as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Glacier being helped back by some officials. We then see Jackson Kole back from several months off walking over and then starting to step back.

 

Kole: “Yeah....I’m going to get this interview another ti-“

 

Glacier: “No!”

 

Glacier stumbles forward, breaking away from the officials. The officials run over and help him up. Glacier just smirks as he looks at Kole and talks into the microphone.

 

Glacier: “Now....Davis....I know you’re ready....time for round two....”

 

Glacier smirks before falling to a knee. Several of the officials help him back up and start to help him away to the trainer’s room. Kole just watches in awe as the scene changes.

The scene opens in the Bad Company locker room and we see Rachel and Alex Jr. in one area of the room, seemingly discussing things like nothing had changed. Davis then barges into the room, sledgehammer in hand. Rachel turns and smiles before getting up.

 

Rachel: “Enjoy taking him out....”

 

Davis just smiles.

 

Davis: “Oh yeah...and here’s your sledgehammer back...hope you don’t mind the soon to be dried blood.”

 

Rachel: “It adds character.”

 

Davis then turns and looks at Alex Jr.

 

Davis: “But maybe I need it to take his head off.”

 

Rachel: “No!”

 

Rachel stops him and Davis then looks at her, confused.

 

Davis: “He took your head off.”

 

Alex Jr.: “Because someone needs to stop her....”

 

Davis: “She could’ve taken out Glacier before everything and I’d be champion now.”

 

Alex Jr. gets up and walks around the couch and stands next to Rachel.

 

Alex Jr.: “And yet, you didn’t take him out. None of us knew he was going to turn on you. And before then, Glacier was an ally...and Rachel was going to take him out. That wasn’t in anyone’s best interests.”

 

Rachel: “Justin.....he’s making sense.”

 

Davis: “Damn it....”

 

Alex Jr.: “I care about what Rachel’s doing....and I’ll let her do a whole lot...but I’m not going to let her hurt herself. And I had to think quick....”

 

Rachel just smirks, somewhat appreciating the oddly noble position of Alex Jr.

 

Davis: “Yeah...well...maybe get your spidey-sense checked. Because right now....it’s cost me a World Title.”

 

Davis then turns and storms off. Alex Jr. just sighs as he shakes his head. Rachel however, just turns him and kisses him, still brandishing the sledgehammer. Alex Jr. smirks before we go back to ringside.

A cello can be heard throughout the arena, echoing as the lights are dimmed. The crowd quickly begins to pick up in applause instantly. The violin and the drums parts enter “Out of the Abyss” by Judgment Day, but as soon as the piece gets into full motion fires burst from opposite ends of the stage. Out walks Xander Valentine from the curtain as smoke from the flames creates a haze. He stands there tall, staring down the stage as the crowd becomes deafening loud. Xander begins his walk down to the ring slowly before hopping up in one leap onto the apron.

 

Dawson: “Xander Valentine! He’s here!”

 

Sharper: “I thought he was only scheduled to be at Taking Hold of the Flame, but he’s obviously here. He’s obviously got a reason too.”

 

Dawson: “And listen to the ovation for him!”

 

Xander Valentine then steps into the ring and looks out at the crowd who continues to cheer for him. He then walks over and goes to Jason Phillips and extends his hand. Phillips then hands him the microphone only for Xander to turn around and walk over to middle of the ring and looks out at the crowd. The crowd continues to cheer and a “Xander!” chant begins. Xander just continues to look around before smiling a bit. He then looks down and runs his hand over his head.

 

Xander: “It has been a long time since I last appeared here on Breakdown. A lot has changed. People aren’t talking about me all too much. They’re talking about Jake Starr or Josh Hudson or Jason Zero....Good for them. But see, the main reason for that is that I’ve been away from the business for a long time. In fact, Taking Hold of the Flame, that was the first time I was in that ring since 2008.”

 

Xander pauses.

 

Xander: “And that was when I walked into Rise to Greatness and I had a nice little match against Chad Evans. Now we went out there and we brutalized each other....but it wasn’t the memorable moment that someone wants to go out on. I mean....Chad Evans is God himself....and I may be the Executioner....but Chad Evans has never been able to let it go. Why? Because to this day...when people think back....they don’t talk about that match...and to be honest, for both of us, that’s not something I’m happy with...and I doubt God himself can handle not being in the spotlight himself.”

 

Xander pauses again as the crowd buzzes.

 

Xander: “But with that said, I’ve been watching Breakdown. I’ve been seeing whether my name came up and I heard the rantings and ravings of Chad Evans, who no doubt is sitting at home, sipping some rich brandy and relishing in the fact that he eliminated me from Taking Hold of the Flame. He wanted to be the big deal. He wanted all the hype. He wanted all of the spotlight. He wanted the memorable moment. And to be honest, he may have gotten it. But I’ve been talking to CHBK....and I’ve been talking to Sasha Drachewych. Now I know that CHBK and I have not always been on good terms, but CHBK knows a good idea when he hears one, as does Sasha Drachewych and that’s why I’m here right now. Because Chad, I know that you want nothing more right now to revive your career than to destroy Xander Valentine in front of the world. And Chad....I wouldn’t mind finishing off what I failed to do two years ago!”

 

Xander smirks.

 

Xander: “Because there is a part of me that needs to remind everyone why I was known as the Executioner. There’s a part of me that wants to remind everyone why I was feared everyone time I walked out to this ring. I took out everyone in my path. I went twenty-five and oh. I was the dominant World Champion. And Chad...much like you’re obsessed with killing that, I’m obsessed with maintaining it and continuing to add to my legacy and proving that I am one of the best to walk into this ring. Sure...I have my Hall of Fame ring....but I still have much more left in these veins and Chad...I want to show that first and foremost by giving you exactly what YOU want...and that’s me, one on one....and we can do it at Rise to Greatness.”

 

The crowd cheers as Xander Valentine looks out.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Xander Valentine and Chad Evans at Rise to Greatness!”

 

Xander: “I’ve cleared it with everyone. We may not be on the roster as talent after Taking Hold of the Flame...but we’ve got our opportunity to do what we both would love to do. And the world will be watching when I, this time, execute God himself in front of the world. Fade to-“

 

The crowd roars as Chad Evans suddenly slides into the ring from behind Xander Valentine. He then runs over and takes out of the leg of Xander Valentine with a chopblock. The crowd ohs and Xander falls back, holding his knee. Chad then turns and stomps away at the back of Xander’s leg as the crowd starts to boo loudly.

 

Sharper: “Chad Evans! He’s striking Xander Valentine! Where’d he come from?!”

 

Knots: “I think he came from the crowd! I think he was here the entire time!”

 

Xander starts to slowly pull himself up and limps around as Chad just stands back and mocks Xander. Xander swings violently, trying to take his head off with a clothesline, but Chad ducks under and drives his forearm into the back of Xander before grabbing him by the head. He then smiles before violently turning Xander Valentine over with the Overturn. The crowd ohs and Xander Valentine rolls over, holding his head in pain. Chad then rolls over and moves to his knees before looking around. He then gets up and walks over to the microphone before turning back over and dropping down to his knees next to Xander Valentine. Security starts to run down from the back as Chad leans over Xander, microphone to his lips.

 

Chad: “Xander....it’ll be my honour to be known as the man who took Xander Valentine away from all of these leeches.....but Xander....you need to remember something....God...is everywhere!”

 

Chad then tosses the microphone down as the security guards hit the ring. Chad gets up and immediately throws his arms up in the air, smirking. The crowd boos loudly as security runs over and grabs Chad and push him back to the ropes. They turn him around and start to handcuff him as Xander continues to writhe in pain. Chad still has his smile on his face as the crowd continues to boo loudly as the scene fades to black.

Shilo Valiant & Marina Trent vs. Ravyn Taylor & Brittany Lohan

 

As Nox Arcana’s ‘Ghosts of the Midway’ begins to play the big screen shows several different types of masks flying around until two crash into one another and shatter, its remains spell out ‘Masquerade’. The lights go deep blue when Those words shatter and reunite to form the name ‘Shilo Valiant’. The big screen then goes to several shots of Shilo wrestling and doing some fancy handwork with his syringes filled with Necro, and to shots of Masquerade wrestling and trying on masks.

‘Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the circus of the strange, the sideshow of the sinister, and the theater of the bizarre. Enter a realm of dark wonders to indulge in your wickedest dreams, or if you dare, explore the shadows of the most diabolical nightmares. Cast your eyes on the cruel oddities of nature and behold the monstrous creatures from the depths of the abyss. Marvel with awe and dismay at unbelievable death defying acts that teeter on the very prink of doom. Leave the mundane world behind, for those who visit this festival of phantasm are never the same again. Step this way… There is no turning back.’

Suddenly, ‘Calliope’ takes over and from the stage, Marina and Claire Voyant walk out and stand on the stage as one massively large pedestal rises. It has Masquerade wearing a strange smiling mask and standing there, his back to the audience, his legs crossed between one another and his arms outstretched at different angles with several masks in his hands. In front of him on one knee facing the crowd is Shilo Valiant, with the SCW Tag Team Championship belt, holding his syringe guns in his hands, crossed in an X pattern over his chest. Claire Voyant and Marina stand by their men who look to one another with grins. Shilo moves first, walking down the ramp to the fans with money in their outstretched hands. When he has finished shouting ‘Necro’ with the ‘clients’, he tosses the now empty guns to the floor and jumps to the apron and kneels on it looking up to the ramp, his one arm holding onto the top rope. The fans turn to Masquerade, who holds both his Tag Team and Adrenaline Championship belts, who turns 180 slowly, whipping his hair back as he does so and throwing the masks to the side. These cause a cool explosion when they hit the ground. Shilo raises his free hand and points to Masquerade before motioning him to come on down. Masquerade suddenly explodes forward running down the ramp and sliding into the ring while Shilo leaps over the top rope just as Masquerade is sliding in. Masquerade almost slides out of the ring and he pulls himself up to the nearest turnbuckle as Shilo leaps to the nearest himself and finger shoots everyone while Masquerade puts his hands to his face and removes his mask very mime like before frisbeeing it into the crowd. The audience goes even louder as they see the grin of Masquerade. Partners look to one another before hopping down and meeting in their corner. Marina and Claire Voyant meanwhile go over and walk over to corners and stand on opposite turnbuckles, looking out. They then hop down and return their men. Masquerade and Claire Voyant then exit the ring.

 

Dawson: “The theatrics are always on display for Karnivale, but tonight, Masquerade won’t be in action. It will be Marina Trent joining Shilo Valiant in the ring tonight.”

 

Knots: “So I have to deal with Masquerade and that creepy lady running around at ringside. You’re kidding me right? You’re kidding me?”

 

The lights flicker around the arena for a moment before dimming as spotlights focus on the stage. “I Made It” by Kevin Rudolf feat. Cash Money Heroes hits the PA system as the screens flicker with the words “Dark Triad” repeatedly.

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I’ve known it all my life
I made it, I made it

I used to dream about
The life I’m living now
I know that there’s no doubt
I made it, I made it

As the music blasts around the arena and the spotlights remain focused on the stage the curtains part and Syren and Ravyn Taylor walk out, Ravyn wearing a pink fur cloak and hood while Syren wears her pink ring-jacket with the fur-lined hood. The two stand back to back as Syren strikes a pose and raises the SCW Women’s Championship above her head, singing along to the chorus of the song, as Ravyn holds her Majestic Valkyrie Championship. As the two Dark Fantasy members pose on the stage the curtains part again and Brittany Lohan steps out on to the stage towering over her two partners, holding Ashley Cherry’s Women’s Championship belt. As the Dark Fantasy members stop their pose and head to the ring Lohan power walks down, walking around the ring as both members of Dark Fantasy hop up on to the apron and duck down under the middle rope, Syren shaking her ass as she does so in time with the song. Lohan storms up the ring steps and leaps over the top rope, standing in the middle of the ring with her arms crossed and looking powerful as Ravyn and Syren climb the turnbuckles, Ravyn striking a pose while Syren lifts the Women’s title above her head once again proudly and continues to sing along with the song, pointing at herself as she sings.

 

Dawson: “Dark Triad making their second appearance tonight after they berated CHBK.”

 

Knots: “He can take it. Either way, maybe he should do something about the freaks at ringside.”

 

Dawson: “Well, I don’t know about that.”

 

Sharper: “And also later tonight, Syren will be in action, defending her Women’s Championship against Katie Steward. Big match there still to come.”

 

Knots: “Yeah as CHBK continues to screw with Dark Triad.”

 

The bell sounds and Shilo goes to start the match, but Marina quickly steps in front of him and starts to talk to him. Shilo seemingly looks a bit concerned before the nodding and Marina smiles a bit as Shilo exits the ring. Ravyn Taylor just enters the ring and smirks walking along the ropes before straightening out her elbow pad. Marina turns around and takes a deep breath. She then starts to move around the ring. Ravyn just looks at her and smirks before the two lunge at each other and grapple only for Ravyn to grab her and then turn into an arm wrench. Marina winces before then flipping forward and nipping up. She then suddenly brings her leg up, sweeping it across the arm, causing a break before then jumping up and kicking Ravyn in the side of the head again. The crowd cheers and Ravyn rolls forward. She then gets back up and Marina gets up and jumps up and hits a dropkick. Ravyn falls back and quickly rolls over and goes back to the corner, looking across in shock. Marina gets up and just smiles, clearly pleased with herself as the crowd cheers a bit.

 

Sharper: “How about that? Ravyn Taylor doesn’t know what to make of it. That young lady has had her confidence a bit shaken and yet, she’s just dropped someone who’s undefeated in SCW.”

 

Knots: “Okay. Okay. That was a bit impressive. But it hasn’t won anything yet.”

 

Dawson: “And Ravyn quickly getting out of there, not wanting to give Marina anymore momentum and tagging in that Amazon, Brittany Lohan!”

 

Brittany is tagged in and she smiles as she enters the ring. Marina just hops up and watches her. Lohan then runs at Marina and Marina ducks. She spins around and Brittany turns around only for Marina to nail her with a hard forearm and then another and another. She pushes Brittany back into the ropes before whipping her across the ring. She bounces off the ropes and Marina jumps up and attempts a crossbody, but Lohan catches her. She smiles before Shilo suddenly enters the ring. He then jumps up and dropkicks Lohan in the face. Lohan falls back as Ravyn snaps at the referee. Syren starts to yell at the referee too and Shilo rolls back out of the ring and stands up, holding his arms up and grabbing the tag rope. Marina meanwhile is on top of Lohan and the referee turns around and goes for the count.

 

1!

 

Ravyn quickly stomps her in the back of the head before turning around and exiting the ring. She then looks a bit unhappy as Marina rolls over. She slowly stirs as Lohan starts to get up as well. Both get up and Marina looks up at Lohan and Lohan quickly clotheslines her down.

 

Dawson: “And Lohan just takes her head off!”

 

Sharper: “With pure malice right there. Lohan doesn’t care who she’s in the ring with. She’ll take them out.”

 

Knots: “Hey. She’s just planning on doing the same as she did last Breakdown. She wants to beat her again!”

 

Marina stirs and Lohan quickly grabs her and starts to lift her up. She gets in her face, yelling at her before pushing her back into the corner. She then nails Marina with a hard shot to the jaw and then a back elbow. Lohan then knees her in the ribs before just tossing her across the ring with a hip toss. The crowd boos and Marina rolls over. Shilo just extends his hand for a tag as Ravyn starts to smile on the apron. Marina slowly gets up and Lohan then runs forward and clotheslines her down again. She then drops down for the pin. Shilo immediately hops into the ring.

Shilo drops an elbow to the back of Lohan. He then gets up and Lohan slowly gets up and Shilo kicks her in the ribs. Ravyn actually enters the ring and runs over and nails him with a dropkick. Shilo falls back and through the ropes and onto the apron. He then shakes his head as the referee gets Ravyn back to the corner.

 

Knots: “Come on! He was in there before the count even started.”

 

Sharper: “They’re mauling his girlfriend in the ring right in front of him.”

 

Knots: “Then don’t have her in the ring!”

 

Lohan meanwhile starts to get back up as Marina stirs. Lohan kicks her in the ribs. She then hoists her up over her head for a press slam, but Marina actually kicks Lohan in the side of the head. Marina drops down as Shilo starts to get up. Lohan turns around, holding her head and then grabs Marina, but Marina dives forward and tags in Shilo. The crowd roars as Shilo slingshots himself into the ring. Lohan lets go of Marina and she rolls out of the ring and Shilo runs forward and kicks her in the ribs. He then nails her with a chop before jumping up and hitting a spinning heel kick. Lohan drops down. She slowly gets back up and Shilo grabs her from behind before lifting her up and taking her over with a German suplex into a bridge.

Lohan rolls her shoulder off the canvas. The crowd ohs. She then slowly starts to get up and Shilo turns and Lohan gets back up only to clothesline her down. Shilo then ends up in the Dark Triad corner and Ravyn reaches up and pokes Shilo in the eye with her thumb. Shilo turns around and Lohan then gets up and runs forward and attempts a bicycle kick, but Shilo ducks out of the way and Lohan nails Ravyn with it, knocking her off the apron. The crowd cheers. Shilo then turns and rolls Lohan up with a school boy.

 

Sharper: “Bicycle kick misses! Roll up!”

 

Dawson: “Karnivale could take it!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

Lohan manages to kick out as the crowd ohs and Shilo looks up. Syren just celebrates at ringside, jumping up and down as Claire, Masquerade and Marina all let out a sigh. Ravyn slowly stirs and gets up, holding her jaw as Shilo turns and grabs Lohan and clubs her in the back. He clubs her again before then grabbing her and setting her up for a vertical suplex. He hoists her up, but Lohan manages to counter and drop back down. She then tackles Shilo back and spears him into the Dark Triad counter. She backs up and drives her shoulder into the ribs of Lohan. Ravyn then hops up and looks at Lohan and Lohan looks at her before tagging her in. Lohan then hoists Shilo up and the crowd roars a bit. Ravyn then enters the ring before jumping up and hitting a neckbreaker as Lohan just throws him down. Ravyn then gets back up as Lohan exits. She then quickly looks over before jumping up off the middle rope and jumping up and hitting a double stomp onto the chest of Shilo. She then falls back and rolls through. She then runs across the ring and jumps up and nails Marina with a flying forearm. Marina rolls off and falls to the mat. Claire and Masquerade go over and Ravyn then gets up and snaps at the referee to check her. The referee then walks over and tells them to get back. Masquerade just shakes his head as Claire continues and the referee then drops down to the floor. Ravyn then nods to Lohan.

 

Dawson: “Ravyn setting up the referee!”

 

Knots: “No she’s not. She’s just getting the referee to do his job!”

 

Sharper: “She got Marina to the floor. She knew Masquerade and more importantly, Claire would want to check on her and the referee is more engaged with that. Now, Lohan’s back in the ring and this is bad for Shilo Valiant!”

 

Shilo starts to get up and Ravyn walks over and grabs him by the head. Shilo nails her with a hard shot to the ribs and Lohan suddenly nails him in the back. Ravyn lets go as Lohan uses her strength to lift Shilo up onto her shoulder and she powers him down. Ravyn then grabs Shilo by the legs and jumps up and hits a headbutt to the groin. Shilo rolls over in pain as Masquerade, tired of this, manages to get around the ring as the referee keeps focusing on Claire Voyant. Ravyn gets up and Masquerade then enters the ring as Marina gets up. Masquerade enters the ring and Lohan goes to nail him, but Masquerade blocks it and hits a jawbreaker. Ravyn then yells at the referee. The referee actually glances at the ring out of instinct to see Masquerade clothesline her down and then quickly hop out of the ring to the floor. The crowd cheers and suddenly the referee turns around and calls for the bell. The cheers turn into boos and then buzzing as everyone is confused.

 

Dawson: “What just happened?”

 

Knots: “I’ll tell you what happened. Karnivale clearly cheated! Masquerade was right in the ring!”

 

Dawson: “I’m not going to deny that, but I thought the referee was focused on Claire Voyant!”

 

Sharper: “I think he glanced in the ring and saw Masquerade.”

 

Syren hops onto the apron as she looks around and Ravyn rolls over in pain, smirking. Shilo starts to get up as Marina gets back onto the apron. The referee then goes over to Jason Phillips as the buzzing continues.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of this match as a result of a disqualification...and winning a Tag Team Championship opportunity for Dark Fantasy....Ravyn Taylor and Brittany Lohan, Dark Triad!”

 

The crowd boos and Ravyn rolls out of the ring as Marcus King helps her up. Syren runs over and immediately hugs her, jumping up and down in happiness. Brittany Lohan exits the ring and she walks over and joins in the group hug. Shilo and Marina just look around dejected as Masquerade just turns and leans against the ring, burying his head a bit before turning to Shilo and apologizing. Shilo just nods as Ravyn glances in the ring smiling and the crowd start to make their way towards the rampway.

 

Sharper: “Dark Fantasy has their Tag Team Championship shot at Rise to Greatness now...and Ravyn Taylor outsmarted everyone...Brittany Lohan used her power.”

 

Dawson: “But if they want to win the titles, they need to get something other than a disqualification. They tactics may get them to the dance...but they need to actually get the job done.”

 

Knots: “Such doubt. Come on. It’s Dark Fantasy. They’re hot. They’re GOING to have a plan!”

 

Shilo gets up and goes over to Marina as Masquerade and Claire come to the apron. The crowd continues to boo for the victorious Dark Triad as we go backstage.

Backstage, we see Gable Winchester with the SCW United States Championship over his shoulder. Marisa Condolesa stands next to him and smiles.

 

Condolesa: “I’m here with the new SCW United States Champion, Gable Winchester. And you must be on top of the world.”

 

Gable: “That I am, but you know what....I may be on top of the world and I may want to keep the magic going. I may want to be United States Champion forever....in fact, I do want to be US Champ forever. But one thing I’m not going to do and that’s be Christian Savior. See, in a few moments, I’m going to go out to that ring. I’m taking on someone that used to be a big deal around here apparently. Former this and that...Mayhem..”

 

A slight roar comes from the crowd.

 

Gable: “Now....there’s no hype. No anything. But regardless, I’m going to take this title and when I had to the ring, Mayhem’s going to realize he’s a bit luckier. His return...it’s going to be for the United States Champion. Why? I want people to talk about this title. I’m not going to wait two months to give the world the first US title defense...I’m going to give them ten days....So Mayhem...feel lucky....because you’re getting a hell of a shot. Too bad that it’s against me and I have no plans on losing.”

 

The crowd roars as Gable turns, smirking, as he walks off camera. Condolesa just turns to the camera.

 

Gable: “How about that? Gable Winchester is going to put his US Championship on the line tonight when he faces Mayhem. Huge news....and that match....it’s next. Don’t go anywhere. More Breakdown to come!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Mayhem vs. Gable Winchester

SCW United States Championship

 

“Get Up” by 50 Cent starts to play and takes over the surround system. Blue flashing lights start to beam down the entrance ramp as Mayhem walks through the curtains. Mayhem gazes at the fans for a second and wastes no time making his way down the ring. Halfway down, he rubs his face with his hands and looks up to the sky. He mumbles something before climbing the steel steps. Once he enters the ring through the second rope he begins to start warming up near the ropes. He doesn’t make much eye contact with the fans rather he solely focuses on his opponent’s arrival.

 

Sharper: “The unannounced return of Mayhem here tonight. And he’s got a hell of an opportunity to start things off. He has a US Championship shot.”

 

Knots: “I don’t get it. Gable Winchester wins the title and now he’s so willing to lose it?”

 

Sharper: “He wants to make things competitive in the US Championship division again.”

 

The opening strains to “Everywhere I Go” start to echo around the arena as gold lighting starts to pulse around the arena, then begin to pulse to the beat of the introduction. Once the main verse starts, Gable Winchester walks from the back, nodding his head and moving his hands up and down in time to his theme song. The SCW United States Championship sits around his waist. The fans start to cheer, some ecstatically, whilst some out of respect for what he has done so far in his young career. Once he gets to the barricade he looks out at the fans and shows that he isn’t too egotistical for the fans. Smiling, he sidesteps down the ramp, close to the barricade, frantically slapping all the palms he comes into contact with before reaching the bottom of the ramp. He spins around on the spot with his palms facing upwards before sliding into the ring and nodding his head to thumping beat of his theme tune.

He runs and leaps to the top turnbuckle and sweeps his hand in the direction of the people in the crowds and gestures for them to cheer him on louder before he gets down from the turnbuckle and smiles to himself about the reception the crowds give him, brushing his wild dreadlocks from his face as he waits for the match to start. He hands the US Championship to the referee, who promptly holds it over his head.

 

Dawson: “So as Gable mentioned before the commercial break, this is for the US Championship.”

 

Sharper: “One has to wonder what Mayhem is thinking. He’s much more focused than we last saw him. But he’s returned. No fanfare. No real hype. Not the same Mayhem we knew.”

 

The bell sounds as the referee hands off the belt to Jason Phillips. The crowd roars as Mayhem and Gable start to circle around the ring. Both then lunge and grapple in the middle of the ring. Both try to push each other back and Mayhem manages to push Gable back and into the corner before Gable suddenly spins around and pushes Mayhem in. Gable backs away before allowing a clean break. Mayhem walks out of the corner and Gable and Mayhem grapple again and Gable quickly hits a leg trip. He then goes to jump onto him, but Mayhem gets his legs up and Gable rocks back and pulls Mayhem up to his feet before kicking him in the ribs and wrenching his arm. He then turns and kicks Mayhem in the ribs while still holding onto his arm. He kicks him again before spinning around and forcing Mayhem down to mat by twisting the arm awkwardly. He then stomps him in the ribs. He stomps him again before jumping up and hitting a knee drop to the forehead. He turns and goes for the pin.

Mayhem kicks out. He then rolls over and starts to get up as Gable turns and pulls himself up. He then kicks Mayhem in the ribs and whips him into the corner.

 

Dawson: “The United States Champion taking it to Mayhem and right now, in firm control.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. He’s riding the high. He just beat Christian Savior for the belt and his arrogance is to his head. So of course he’s going to start by doing well.”

 

Mayhem hits the corner and Gable runs after him and jumps up and hits a flying back avalanche in the corner. Mayhem winces, but remains in and Gable then turns and grabs Mayhem and snapmares him down before jumping forward and hitting a neckwhip. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Mayhem kicks out again. He then slowly rolls over. Gable turns and grabs him and nails him with a hard right. He then chops him in the chest before going to whip him into the ropes only for Mayhem to spin through and send Gable into the ropes. Gable bounces off the ropes and jumps up only for Mayhem to take him over with a powerslam. The crowd ohs and Mayhem then gets up.

 

Sharper: “Great powerslam by Mayhem and Gable...I think he’s had the air pushed right out of him.”

 

Knots: “Well, he’s now going to see how stupid he is. Especially if Mayhem kicks his ass now while he’s at powerslamming him!”

 

Sharper: “Mayhem’s no slouch. He’s a former number one contender to the SCW World Championship and was a huge name in the early days of SCW.”

 

Gable rolls over and starts to get up and Mayhem walks over and clubs him in the back. He then clubs him again. He grabs Gable and whips him into the ropes. Gable bounces off the ropes and Mayhem back drops him over. Gable slowly gets back up and Mayhem grabs him from behind before hoisting him up and throwing him back with a back suplex. He rolls over and hooks the leg.

Gable kicks out. He then starts to stir before rolling over and slowly pulling himself up to his feet and Mayhem clubs him in the back again. He then spins him around before pulling him in with a short-arm clothesline. Gable winces and Mayhem scoops him back up and knees him in the ribs. He then spins him around and throws him over into the corner. Mayhem then walks over and nails Gable with a hard shot to the ribs and then another before nailing him with a hard right. Gable winces and Mayhem then grabs him and scoops him up onto his shoulder before throwing him down with a powerslam out of the corner.

 

Dawson: “Mayhem has really turned everything around. He’s destroying the US Champion.”

 

Knots: “Hey. I hate to say I told you so, but this is what happens when you get too confident.”

 

Sharper: “Powerslam takes down the champion. But what’s next?”

 

Dawson: “How about a cover?”

 

Mayhem hooks the leg of Gable again.

Gable shoots his shoulder up. Mayhem gets up and nails Gable with a hard right before nailing him again. He then slowly pulls himself up as Gable stirs. Mayhem grabs Gable and quickly spikes him with a DDT. He then rolls over and walks over to the corner. He exits to the apron and looks around before climbing up to the top rope. He looks over at Gable and then dives forward and attempts an elbow drop, but Gable gets his knees up. Mayhem rolls over, holding his arm and ribs in pain. He tries to lift himself up only to fall back over. He kicks the mat before starting to pull himself up as Gable gets back up. Mayhem turns and Gable nails him with a European uppercut. Mayhem winces. Gable nails him with another before then whipping him into the ropes. Mayhem bounces off the ropes and Gable jumps up and nails him with a dropkick. Mayhem hits the mat and starts to roll over and Gable pulls himself up before quickly hitting a double leg drop onto the chest of Mayhem rolls back.

 

Dawson: “Great leg drop. Gable has Mayhem covering up. Trying to block any further offense.”

 

Sharper: “Gable since countering that elbow drop has just tried to hit as much as he could. After Mayhem caught him being methodical earlier, this is great adaptation!”

 

Gable rolls back. He then turns and looks at Mayhem as Mayhem starts to stir. Gable grabs him and kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and runs into the ropes and Mayhem suddenly gets up and lifts him up for the Mayhem Finisher, getting some roars from the crowd, but Gable quickly turns into Mayhem and rolls him up.

The crowd roars as Mayhem kicks out right after the three. Gable falls back as Mayhem looks up in shock. The referee walks over and is handed the US Championship before he turns and hands it over to Gable Winchester. The crowd cheers as Gable grabs his title and starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Well, Jonathan, whatever you think, the tactic just helped Gable out. He’s retained US Championship and go over his first title defense!”

 

Dawson: “How about Mayhem though? He put on a heck of a show and nearly had Gable there.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but he didn’t and that’s only going to support Gable’s crap!”

 

Gable holds the title up and turns to Mayhem. Mayhem just looks at him as he slowly gets up and Gable just nods at him before turning and exiting the ring and dropping down to the floor. He then starts to make his way to the back.

Backstage, the scene opens to see Jessica Winters standing next to the SCW Commissioner, CHBK, yet again. CHBK looks less jubilant than earlier and much more stern.

 

Jessica: “CHBK...you asked for someone to come here with a microphone and camera. You had something to say.”

 

CHBK: “Yes...Jessica....after watching what happened during the Dark Triad/Karnivale match, I’ve realized that there’s a good chance that not only Syren, but Katie Steward will have their entourages at ringside. And seeing how Ravyn was able to take advantage of a situation to get her what she needed, I’d prefer to have a fair title match. And so, I’m officially announcing that both Team Desire or the Brat Pack, whichever you wish to call them, and Dark Triad and all of their allies are banned from ringside. Syren and Katie Steward will be one on one. We’re going to see who truly is the best between the two of them.”

 

Jessica just smiles.

 

Jessica: “Thank you CHBK.”

 

CHBK: “No...thank you.”

 

CHBK turns around and returns to his locker room as Jessica turns back to the camera.

 

Jessica: “Big change to the Women’s Championship match guys.”

 

A promotional still for Katie Steward vs. Syren for the Women’s Championship comes back on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Now Dark Triad and Team Desire are banned. It’s going to be one on one. That’s going to be a hell of a match.”

 

Knots: “Lucas Knight retained. Gable Winchester just retained. I can only hope that we have the exactly opposite to Taking Hold of the Flame. No titles change hands. For once, I think I like this move by CHBK!”

 

Dawson: “Well we’ll see what happens. We’re going to find out later tonight!”

COMMERCIAL:

Gable Winchester can be seen walking backstage on his way back to his locker room after his successful defense. He looks down at the SCW US Championship on his shoulder and smiles before taking a few steps and suddenly, he’s nailed by a large man, nailing him with a hard running forearm to the side. Gable falls back and hits the wall hard. The man then nails Gable with a couple of hard shots to the ribs before kicking him in the head. Gable falls back and rolls over. The man then steps back and smiles before reaching into his pocket and dropping down to his knee and throwing a business card on top of him.

 

Man: “The boss wants to talk to you...”

 

The man then walks away as Gable grimaces in pain, hardly moving.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God...”

 

Dawson: “Who was that? And who’s the boss? Gable Winchester was assaulted!”

 

Knots: “No one’s having a good night tonight!”

Sean Homes vs. Dylan Cole vs. Jamal Evans vs. Travis Daniels

 

The lights around the arena fade out, with two spotlights perched atop the ramp. Then. the loudspeakers blare up with...

 

I
WANT
MY
MONEY
BACK!

The crowd boos as "Life Is A Lemon" by Meatloaf gets into gear, bringing a body stepping out to fill in the spotlight. Dylan Cole looks out over the crowd, his hoodie open with the hood up. Stretching out his arms at his side, Cole begins to walk down towards the ring, followed by the spotlights.

Once he gets to the ring, Cole jumps up onto the apron. Walking around to the side the camera is pointed towards, he leans back on the ropes, pushing his hood back before stretching his arms out again, throwing his head back. The crowd boos further as the spotlights fade and the arena lights return. Cole climbs through the ropes and, once in the ring, removes his hoodie and waits for his opponents.

 

Sharper: “We’re about to see a fatal four way, elimination match. A good chance for all four of these men to make an impact and get a big win.”

 

Dawson: “And a bit of a different set-up. Since it’s elimination. Two people will be in the ring and the other two will be on the apron. And you can tag out anyone at any point.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. And one person I’m expecting big things for...Dylan Cole. He’s got a vintage quality about him. He just looks like he could be headed for big things.”

 

“Crank That(Remix)” by Soulja Boy ft. Travis Barker pounds throughout the arena as the stage fills with fog and the lights begin to strobe white and blue. Sean “Pit Bull” Homes emerges from within the fog and begins hopping from one foot to the other for a few seconds as he loosens up. He looks to the audience on the left and nods then looks to the audience on the right and nods once more before making his way to the ring. He stops at the end of the ramp and tilts his head to the left and right popping his neck then begins hopping from one foot to the other once again. After another moment of loosening up for his match he jumps up onto the ring apron then slingshots himself over the top rope and into the ring.

 

Dawson: “Sean ‘Pitbull’ Homes with an opportunity here and he’s made a name for himself elsewhere, but that doesn’t mean much when you walk into an SCW ring.”

 

Sharper: “Certainly the case and this is a great first step for him if he can do well here.”

 

“Blood on My Hands” takes over and the crowds boos continue as the incredibly arrogant Travis Daniels walks out onto the stage with an outlandish grin on his face. He stands on the stage with a huge grin on his face as he stares at the crowd. He walks down the ramp and stops at the bottom of the stage and raises both his arms high as blue, red, and black pyro shoot from the stage. He slides into the ring and climbs the second rope as he stares still grinning at the crowd as they boo him.

 

Knots: “Nevermind about Cole. Here’s my favourite. The man that got screwed against the LaRues and at Taking Hold of the Flame, Travis Daniels.”

 

Sharper: “How did he get screwed?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know. It just worked for hyping up purposes. He’s just awesome, okay?!”

 

The arena goes to pitch black with little lightening strikes in the background lightening up the arena as Nas starts talking in his Dr. Trevis-like voice.

[Nas] *speaking in Dr. Trevis-like voice*
Braveheart niggas (Jungle), Ill-Will niggas (Wizard)
Made of steel niggas (Horse), robothugs (Nature)
We can't be stopped by them bitch-ass cops (Braveheart)
Made of steel, y'all bullets don't kill
We break outta jail, [edit] the system
To all our black babies, boys and girls
We school y'all wit knowledge of the world
Only to God we hail, and this money we spend it
We spend it, it's the root of e-vil
But these black millionaires will live and survive
We will stay alive…

Suddenly the lights in the arena come back on as Jamal Evans explodes from the back as Nature starts rapping.

[Nature]
A quick reality check, salaries and sex
Rodents spreadin disease, and man'll carry it next
I been exposed to this game, so it's that I express
Blood, sweat and tears, for my stress, cigarettes and beers
Newports or Kools, cautious dudes movin in the Belly
I stay aware of who I'm talkin to
Police payin fiends off wit food
For a Snicker bar, they knock on your door, come and get you god
Hit you harder than a crack pipe, live the gat life
Gettin drunk, full gallons down to half-pints
X-O to act right, stay slurring my speech
Hearin silent screams at night, disturbing my sleep
Burnin my weed, the smallest thug caught a bug
War stories on the bench till y'all caught a buzz
I made y'all watch when the game's hot, the same park
Niggas hustle and die without they Braveheart

Jamal Evans hops down the entrance ramp slapping fans hands shirtless with only his black jean shorts on and his black hat turned backwards on the top of his head. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and darts up the steel steps then climb through the ropes. He jumps onto the top of a turnbuckle and throws his hat to the crowd as they cheer. He jumps down beating his chest and then starts to stretch in his corner before the match begins.

 

Dawson: “Jamal Evans, the man who is looking to turn around what has been a lacklustre return. He was a former number one contender to the Underground Championship and he would love to get back to that level.”

 

Sharper: “We’ll see what he can do. He’s the most experienced here, in terms of SCW action. That may work for him.”

 

Knots: “Or against him if the other three decided to knock him out of this quick.”

 

The bell sounds and Travis Daniels immediately walks over to the middle of the ring. He looks around before pointing to himself and telling everyone he’ll be starting off. Dylan Cole just shrugs and exits as Jamal Evans and Sean Homes then turn to Daniels and Daniels and Evans just smirks and exits the ring. Sean Homes then turns to Daniels and Daniels suddenly kicks him in the ribs before nailing him with an uppercut. He then pushes him back as the crowd boos and Daniels sends Homes into the ropes. Homes bounces off the ropes and Daniels drops down and Homes hops over him and bounces off the other side only for Daniels to hip toss him over and then stomps him in the head. Homes rolls over and Daniels grabs him and quickly hits a small package.

Homes kicks out. Both get back up and Daniels dropkicks him over. Daniels then rolls over and poses for the crowd, getting boos.

 

Dawson: “Well he sure is full of himself.”

 

Knots: “I’d be too if I was that amazing. I mean, technically, he’s never lost a match. Every time, it was because of the BS of the LaRues.”

 

Dawson: “You just won’t drop that at all.”

 

Daniels turns around and looks at Homes and grabs him and starts to hoist him up. He then knees him in the chest before turning around and running into the ropes and Homes suddenly grabs him and takes him over with an overhead belly to belly suplex. The crowd ohs and Homes rolls over as Daniels gets up and Homes scoops him up and hits a backbreaker. He then turns and drops an elbow and goes for the pin.

2!

 

Daniels kicks out. Homes then turns and grabs Homes and hoists him up before dragging him over and tagging in Evans. Evans enters the ring and kicks Daniels in the ribs. Homes exits and Evans nails Daniels with a jab and then another before wrenching the arm and pulling him in for a short-arm clothesline. Daniels gets back up and Evans grabs him and whips him into the ropes. Daniels bounces off the ropes and jumps up and nails Evans with a flying clothesline. The crowd boos and Daniels gets up and goes to tag in Cole, but Cole drops off the apron and backs away. Daniels just gets up and starts to yell at Dylan Cole.

 

Knots: “What the hell Cole? Tag in. Get some action!”

 

Dawson: “Actually, this is semi-smart by Cole. This is elimination style. Why get in before you have to.”

 

Knots: “But...Travis is just getting screwed again!”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure he’s considered that, but I doubt he cares.”

 

Daniels then turns around before just waving off Cole. He walks over to Jamal Evans who gets up and kicks Jamal in the ribs. Daniels then takes him over with a snap suplex and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jamal Evans kicks out. Evans then rolls over and starts to get up only for Daniels to pull himself up and Evans gets up only for Daniels to scoop him up and throw him back with a back suplex. He then rolls over and turns to Homes and goes to tag him in, but Homes drops back and just flips him off. The crowd cheers Homes as Daniels kicks the ropes in frustration.

 

Sharper: “He’s just getting no help from anyone. I guess they want Daniels to get out of here first!”

 

Knots: “Come on! Guys! Work with him!”

 

Daniels turns around as Jamal Evans starts to stir. He then grabs Jamal and Jamal suddenly drops him with a reverse STO. Daniels rolls over, holding his face in pain and gets back up. He turns back to Jamal and Jamal knees him in the ribs. He knees him again and then hits it a third time before grabbing Daniels and hoisting him up before turning and dropping him with a Jackhammer. The crowd ohs. He then goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars as Travis Daniels is eliminated. Jamal Evans gets back up to his feet only for Cole to hop to the top rope. Jamal turns around and Cole dives off the top rope and hits a flying dropkick, knocking him down as Travis rolls out of the ring.

 

Knots: “He got screwed again!”

 

Dawson: “Well, I may buy it here, but Dylan Cole entering the match by hitting a huge dropkick on Jamal Evans!”

 

Sharper: “Talk about a good solid entrance and Evans rolls through in pain!”

 

Jamal slowly gets up and Cole gets up and kicks him in the ribs before hitting a swinging neckbreaker. He follows up with a pin attempt.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jamal kicks out. Cole rolls off and looks over to Jamal. Jamal starts to stir and Cole kicks him in the ribs as he gets up. He then turns and runs into the ropes and Jamal suddenly grabs him and lifts him up before hitting the So Icey. Cole rolls over in pain and Jamal falls over and then reaches over and Homes eagerly accepts the tag before entering the ring. Cole starts to get up and Homes quickly grabs him and drops him with a DDT. Cole rolls onto his back and Homes turns and hooks the leg.

 

Sharper: “Cole’s been spiked! DDT! Could that do it!”

 

Knots: “Yeah! Now Homes will tag in!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

Cole gets his shoulder up. He rolls over and Homes looks at the referee before getting back up. Cole starts to pull himself up and Homes turns and grabs him and whips him into the ropes. Cole bounces off the ropes and Homes nails him with a back elbow. Cole pops back up and turns around and turns to Homes and Homes nails him with a hard right and then another before scooping him up and slamming him down. He then turns and runs into the ropes and Cole rolls over and gets up and Homes attempts a running boot, but Cole blocks it and then takes him down with a dragon screw. Homes rolls over in pain. He then slowly starts to pull himself up and Cole suddenly hoists him up and drops him with the The Revolt. Homes is plants and Cole then gets up before jumping up and hitting the Total Revolution. The crowd ohs and Cole goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

Cole gets up and smiles and gets up and motions that it’s over.

 

Sharper: “Cole ends Homes hopes in this match with style!”

 

Dawson: “First the spinebuster and then the standing shooting star.”

 

Knots: “Now, he just needs to get rid of Jamal Evans and he’s going to have a huge win!”

 

Jamal Evans re-enters the ring and runs over to Cole and Cole actually sees him and hip tosses him over. He gets back up and Cole takes him over with an arm drag, but Jamal holds onto the arm. Cole quickly starts to scramble for the ropes before Evans pulls him over and then quickly turns and wraps his legs around the head of Cole, locking in the arm triangle. The crowd roars as Cole tries to reach his feet all over frantically, but with no success. Evans keeps pulling back and Cole has no choice but to tap and end it. The crowd roars as the referee calls for the bell. Jamal keeps the hold on for an extra moment before letting go and rolling back.

 

Sharper: “And Jamal Evans wins it via submission with that vicious triangle choke!”

 

Knots: “Lucky!”

 

Sharper: “Anything but. He saw his moment to go for it and succeeded. Cole didn’t know what to do.”

 

Jamal gets up and the referee walks over and raises his arm. Jamal smiles as he looks down and takes another deep breath. Cole rolls over, holding his arm in pain as he rolls away from Jamal. Jamal Evans walks over to the ropes and looks out, enjoying his reaction.

Fred Debonair is seen watching the end of his match against Knight from Taking Hold of the Flame on one of the televisions backstage. With his full attention turned to the screen in front of him, he doesn’t notice David Helms approach from down the hall. Helms taps Debonair on the shoulder, causing him to jump round in surprise.

Helms: “Woah, calm down Ralph Cramdon, I come in peace!”

Debonair frowns at Helms, almost snarling.

Debonair: “You think it’s cool to just sneak up on a guy!?”

Helms smirks while pulling out his cigarettes, lighting one up. He takes a drag before finally responding.

Helms: “Easy tiger, I’m not here to cause trouble…”

Debonair tries to glare right through Helms but the smirk doesn’t leave his face, a fact that clearly agitates Debonair. Helms, still smoking his cigarette, steps up to the monitor and shakes his head.

Debonair: “The hell do you want Helms?”

Helms turns from the monitor to Debonair.

Helms: “What do YOU want Fred?”

Debonair: “You mean other than leaving me alone? If you haven’t noticed, I’m not in the mood for games.”

Helms turns the monitor off which infuriates Debonair.

Helms: “I told you, I’m not here to cause trouble Fred. I just thought it was about time you wised up sir…”

Debonair: “Wise up? What the heck are you talking about?

Helms, still smirking, flicks the remainder of his cigarette to the floor before elaborating.

Helms: “You want your Underground title back, am I right?”

Debonair: “Let me guess, you intend to try and stop me?”

Helms: “Not at all sir, and if you’d shut up and calm down for two minutes you’d know what I did want…”

Debonair relaxes a little and grabs a bottle of water from the table. He then looks down, closing his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Debonair: “Ok, I’m listening…”

Helms: “If it was me, I’d be aching to get my title back right about now, that’s for sure.”

Debonair: “Yeah?”

Helms: “Don’t you think that would be much easier if you had someone to watch your back?”

Debonair shoots Helms a suspicious glance.

Debonair: “And why should I listen to you Helms? As far as I knew, you wanted the Underground title for yourself as late as two months ago!”

Helms: “I’m done with all that. I want different things. But that’s not the point…”

Debonair: “Then what IS your point!?”

Helms: “A guy needs to know there’s always gonna be someone watching his back around here. Knights got his cronies, who do you have huh?”

Debonair seems to start thinking.

Helms: “We might not be called the Social Misfits anymore dude, but were still around. You want someone watching your back. Do you really wanna look further than us?:

Helms takes out his cigarettes and lights one up.

Helms: “Just think about it huh?”

Helms swans off, leaving Debonair stood deep in thought as we cut to another area backstage.

The scene then cuts to one of the main hallways in the arena. We then see Damian Angel starting to walk down it, Autumn Daniels right behind him. The crowd gives a largely mixed reaction as they see him.

 

Sharper: “And there you see the obviously quite unhappy Damian Angel. James Exeter returned and attacked him at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

 

Knots: “And cost him the battle royal and any goal he had. He’s not going to be pleased.”

 

Sharper: “We’re going to hear from the Hellbound Messiah, when we return. Don’t go anywhere!”

 

Damian Angel continues walking down the hallway as the crowd continues to boo and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

RECAP:

Breakdown returns and we see a slow motion show of James Exeter starting to slowly make his way to the ring as “November 25, 2009” is seen at the bottom of the screen. Damian Angel’s voice crackles over the image.

 

Damian: “James....your next test awaits....”

 

We then see James Exeter entering the ring, meeting Damian Angel inside.

 

Damian: “It seems to me that you’re missing something.”

 

Damian looks at the shoulder of Exeter and Exeter grits his teeth a bit. A quick flashback shows Jake Starr hitting a Shooting Five Star Frog Splash onto James Exeter in black and white, before cutting to the sound of the crowd cheering and Jake Starr celebrating with the SCW World Championship. We then cut back to the shot of James Exeter and Damian Angel in the ring.

 

Damian: “You had a simple task to complete against Jake Starr. You had only one thing you had to do. One test....and you failed. All I asked is for you to knock Jake Starr unconscious.”

 

The crowd boos and Exeter just looks at Damian and Damian then turns around, exposing his back right to Exeter.

 

Damian: “And thus James....comes punishment for failure...”

 

Exeter turns his head a bit, almost as if he’s getting fed up with this treatment and Damian suddenly turns and nails Exeter in the side of the head with the microphone. Exeter falls to the mat and then stumbles over before falling over to the ropes. The scene fasts forward to Damian Angel being handed his pipe by Autumn Daniels.

 

Sharper: “My God! Damian is just destroying the former World Champion!”

 

Knots: “Talk about punishment. He’s going to give him a beating he can never forget!”

 

Dawson: “Oh no. This is not going to get pretty.”

 

Damian spins Exeter around and then places the leg on the ropes. Autumn then pulls on it, holding it there and Damian then turns and drives the pipe down into the kneecap of Exeter. Exeter yells in pain and Damian then turns and places his foot on the throat of Exeter. Damian then brings the pipe down and drills Exeter in the knee again. The crowd ohs before Damian brings the pipe up and drills Exeter in the knee again. Exeter tries to struggle, but largely is completely pinned down. Damian then steps off him before spinning around and then drilling Exeter in the head, causing him to lose consciousness. Damian then looks down at Exeter and stands over him. Autumn lets go and backs away from the ring, smiling.

 

Dawson: “My God....Exeter has been dissected by Damian Angel.”

 

Sharper: “He’s sacrificed everything for Damian and Damian turns on him?”

 

The shot of Damian Angel standing over Exeter remains for a few moments, slowing down gradually before fading to black.

 

The scene reopens in the Izod Center in East Rutherford and the crowd roars a bit as we go to ringside to see Adam Sharper, Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

 

Sharper: “And there you see the attack Damian Angel perpetrated on James Exeter this past November and the first time we’ve seen James Exeter since then was at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

 

Dawson: “And James Exeter went right at Damian Angel. Damian didn’t even see it coming and James Exeter went at him with a focus I haven’t seen from him ever.”

 

Sharper: “With James Exeter back, one has to wonder what Damian Angel thinks?”

 

Knots: “And we’re going to find out!”

 

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song...

Behind those eyes lies the truth and grief
Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins

During that verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp with Autumn Daniels following behind him, inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd.

 

Knots: “But there are a lot of questions I would love answers here and sadly we’re not going to get those answers from Damian Angel.”

 

Dawson: “Oh?”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Who let James Exeter back? Damian Angel is apparently in good with Sasha Drachewych. Who essentially set him up? Either Sasha screwed over Damian Angel or CHBK still clearly has his issues with Damian Angel and has found another way to go at him.”

 

Sharper: “Well those are good points. I mentioned them on supremecw.com as clearly that’s something to think about. And I’m sure Damian has considered them too.”

 

Damian then glares before starting to make his way down to the ring with Autumn Daniels following him every step of the way. Damian walks up the steel steps as the crowd gives a bit of a mixed reaction. Damian then walks along the apron and enters the ring. Autumn Daniels follows him and Damian walks forward to the middle of the ring and looks around as Autumn walks over and reaches through the ropes, demanding a microphone. Jason Phillips walks forward and hands her the microphone. Autumn then steps back before turning and walking over to Damian Angel and hands him the microphone. Damian takes it and looks around before taking a deep breath before raising the microphone to his lips.

 

Damian: “James....”

 

Damian then smirks.

 

Damian: “It seems to me that something that I taught you several months ago took hold. I told you to take advantage of your opportunities and your certainly did that. Whether it was CHBK or Sasha Drachewych that obviously saw the benefits of accepting your clearance to return to the ring...that is of less concern to me as I will find out for my own curiosity, but you took advantage of the ability to enter yourself into the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal and gain some measure of revenge. But what you fail to realize and much as Sasha or CHBK possibly do as well is that they have merely done myself a failure. For I will get to make the extraordinary ordinary!”

 

The crowd boos and Damian pauses and just glares out at the crowd.

 

Damian: “Because James....you’ve told me something about yourself. See, while I could be standing here now and fuming much like any others, you know that won’t happen. Because as I made clear prior to Taking Hold of the Flame, I had one goal. That was to remove Jason Zero from the battle royal. Now, had Jason Zero had succeeded, James....your move would have become quite simply your last. Fortunately, Zero was eliminated and my mission was successful even without my action. But James, I cannot just let what you did go unpunished.”

 

The crowd roars as Damian Angel moves forward to the ropes.

 

Damian: “See, I know that you’re driven by nothing else than vengeance. You asked me to turn you in the vicious monster you demanded and felt the SCW demanded. But when you became soft, you failed and you failed miserably, removing yourself from the leadership position when the rising Jake Starr pinned your shoulders to the mat twice in a row in the same match. You already proved that you were ordinary. But here you come, hoping that you can be extraordinary again. You licked your wounds and recomposed yourself, hoping that Taking Hold of the Flame...some six months after I dismantled you...it would be your Waterloo. But...it is merely going to be your Stalingrad. You may have gotten the first shots in, but James....I will outlast you!”

 

Damian Angel finishes as the crowd boos loudly and Damian Angel just looks out and glares.

 

Sharper: “Strong words from the Hellbound Messiah!”

 

Knots: “Yeah. James Exeter may have just reawakened him and well, that’s just bad for-Whoa!”

 

The lights suddenly go out in the arena and the crowd roars. The crowd continues to buzz before suddenly, a flash of white light comes off the big screen in the arena and suddenly the sound of screams can be heard before showing a shot of CHBK setting Damian Angel’s arm on fire at Rise to Greatness 2008. Damian Angel can then be identified as the individual screaming as the shot show focuses on the face of Damian Angel in incredible pain. The light from the big screen makes Damian Angel, who has now turned his attention to the big screen, turn to it, just watching stoically.

 

Dawson: “Those are shots from Rise to Greatness 2008 when CHBK set Damian Angel on fire in that I Quit match!”

 

Sharper: “And listen to those screams!”

 

The shots show several angles of Damian Angel’s screaming, including an audibly distorted version before switching to shots of the end of Greg Cherry and Damian Angel’s inferno match at Armed and Dangerous 2008. The fire gets right to the back of Damian’s tights starts to catch on fire as Greg pushes him back with his foot. Damian rips away from the ropes and Greg pulls away. Damian rolls around as fire can be seen at the back of Damian’s tights. The crowd cheers and the referee calls for the bell. Greg backs away and Damian rolls around in the middle of the ring. The shot then switches to close ups of Damian’s face while he’s on fire, before the sounds of Damian screaming in pain are heard again. They echo loudly over the tape before being audibly distorted again and we see Damian Angel engulfed in the CO2 blasts from various fire extinguishers. The compilation suddenly fades back to white before the white starts to fade out into the name of “Nemesis” before morphing into the letters of James Exeter’s name. The crowd cheers upon seeing this and the video suddenly stops playing and the house lights slowly turn on. Damian Angel just looks around and glares still before turning back to Autumn Daniels and motioning her to come. The crowd starts to chant Exeter’s name as Damian Angel steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Autumn steps through and exits as well and the two start to make their way to the back.

The scene then opens backstage and we see Syren stretching out her arms with the SCW Women’s Championship around her waist. The crowd roars seeing her as Ravyn walks up to her.

 

Ravyn: “You ready...”

 

Syren: “Born ready for this...going to be a bit scary with you out there to totally watch my back.”

 

Ravyn: “Um...Zoe...you do realize that you won’t need to worry about that.”

 

Syren: “What if one of the people in the crowd tries to jump in the ring to like...well...attack me.”

 

Ravyn: “We have security here. Just do what you’ve been doing. We’ll celebrate later.”

 

Syren: “Okay...but everyone’s coming....and I love parties! Yay!”

 

Ravyn: “Yes, Zoe. We’ll invite everyone. Lucas will be there. I’ll be there. Brittany if she wants to come.”

 

Lohan can be heard grunting her indifference.

 

Syren: “Well I like that....Now....time to kick Katie Steward’s ass....I knew I was right in telling my dad this is what I was born to do.”

 

Syren smiles as Ravyn just smiles and shakes her head. Syren steps through the door and the door can be heard closing.

 

Ravyn: “It’s times like this that I love her.”

 

Ravyn smirks and starts to walk back towards the back area of the locker room.

 

Sharper: “Well when we return, the SCW Women’s Championship will be on the line. Don’t go anywhere!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up backstage to see Jason Zero in an off-area of one of the hallways, talking in one of the doorways with his cell phone at his ear.

 

Zero: “Yeah....I know. Well, we’ll see what she does....I know. But the plan will work at some point. It’s our reward to her risk......We have to hope... Only way this place will survive.....Yeah, well, you know just as well as I do. We’ll go to phase two if we need to. It’s in her hands.......yeah, see ya.”

 

Zero then hangs up before walking off, pocketing his cell phone.

The scene then switches to show Christy Matthews walking through the backstage area. She takes a few more steps before taking a deep breath. She looks at the door in front of her and reads the name “CHBK.” The crowd cheers as Matthews knocks the door before then opening the door and walking in.

 

Dawson: “What did we just see? Zero was on the phone talking about...well...I don’t want to say.”

 

Knots: “And Christy Matthews is going to talk to CHBK. What the hell is wrong with you? Is what Lucas did THAT bad?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know...but I have a few questions and I’m sure everyone at home does too!”

Katie Steward vs. Syren

SCW Women’s Championship

 

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system.
Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen. This beautiful display encourages and prompts her fan base to jump out of their seats and start clapping for their Goddess.

Plush ruby red carpet is rolled down the aisle way just as Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtains. Miss Steward is all decked out wearing her long white coat and a stunning diamond studded tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair curls. Katie produces her famous smiles for the live audience, and the more they applause and encourages her, she postures for them. Multiple flash bulbs can be seen as the cameras snatch as many and every pose she graces them with.

Several minutes later and as the song wind down, but continues to play in a low tone; Katie starts her walk down the ramp to ringside. TJ Johnson exists from behind the curtain and follows his Goddess. They only make it ½ ways to the ring when Katie notices a fans’ sign and the content disturbs her a bit. She shakes her shoulder and continues on her course. T.J. grabs the sign with the man and crushes it under his foot as he exchanges a few choice words with him. After a few tense moments with the fan, T.J. turns and catches up with Katie and they make it to the ring without any more commotion.

Once she reaches ringside, Katie folds her arms over chest and looks back over her shoulder at TJ Johnson waiting for him to do his job. When he sees that “look”, he immediately runs past her and enters into the ring. He signals for the microphone from the ring announcer and when he hesitates, T.J. snatches it from his hand.
Next T.J. excitedly waves everyone out of the ring. All the while Katie was fixing her hair at ringside ignoring what T.J. was doing. She walks over to the steel ring step and awaits her introduction.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
They call me stuck up, but I'm not at all
Never mind, I am (I am)
It's not my fault I'm the shit
Yeah I am
And I'm a bad ass bitch (hey!)

The camera’s view returns to Katie Steward as she stands at ringside fixing her coat. She looks up spreads her arms out wide and smiles the Famous smile for her glorious introduction as some of the fans have already begun to boo her and show how much they dislike and disrespect for her.

TJ Johnson: And finally, the reason why we have all come here tonight… She is The Queen of Queens, The Goddess of Desire, The SCW’s own Crown Jewel. Get your cameras and video recorders ready for… KATIE STEWARD….

Katie gracefully walks up the steel ring steps and onto the apron. She bends down enters the rings between the middle ropes that T.J. holds down for her. She walks over to the opposite corner and climbs onto the ropes. She takes off her lovely coat revealing her beautiful wrestling attire. Many in the crowd start to take snap shots of their Goddess. Katie jumps down and walks to the other corner to pose and climbs up on the middle ropes just as the lighting returns to normal and the music dies. Katie does one last pose for the fans then she jumps down and walks towards T.J.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the flyest of them all
It's me, bow down get on your knees
Where's my queens?
Who reigns supreme?
Let me hear you scream
Whooo!

TJ Johnson smiles down at Katie, before bowing slightly. He takes the microphone and joins the announcing team for some unbiased journalism.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward getting an opportunity to regain a championship she knows quite well and against someone she’s had some great success with.”

 

Knots: “So...um....can I just say right now, I’m cheering for Syren.”

 

Dawson: “Not surprising there? You hoping for a date?”

 

Knots: “Well...yeah...but I also don’t want to see Katie have a huge celebration next week.”

 

TJ Johnson sits down at the table and starts to put on his headset.

 

Johnson: “Everyone ready for some history?!”

 

Sharper: “I’m shocked you’re allowed down here with CHBK declaring that there would be no members of Dark Triad or Team Desire here.”

 

Johnson: “I’m just awesome like that!”

 

The lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the centre of the stage. “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system as the screens come alive.

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


After a few moments the curtains part as Syren makes her way on to the stage, stopping for a moment as she steps in to the spotlight and looking down at the ground in front of her before flicking her hair back and smiling at the cameras and the fans, soaking in the atmosphere and revelling in every moment, even if it is boos and jeers about taking her top off from the fans. The Women’s Championship sits over her shoulder. She begins walking to the ring, holding up a hand to some of the male fans to keep them quiet and show she doesn’t care before making her way to the ring and skipping happily up the steps, pausing on the ring apron and bending all the way down to go under the second rope, wiggling her ass as she does so to taunt the fans at ringside.

Phillips: Introducing from Long Beach, California, one half of the Dark Fantasy tag team, this is SYREN!!

At the mention of her name she jumps up and down a little, almost cheering for herself excitedly before walking over to the corner and leaping on to the second rope, standing up straight and flicking back her hair again as she raises up her hands to more boos from the fans. She then hands the belt over to the referee, who turns and walks to the middle of the ring and holds it over his head.

 

Sharper: “And that’s what it’s all about. Our third title match of the night.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. And the two that were scheduled, clearly by CHBK.”

 

Dawson: “Oh stop it.”

 

Johnson: “Yeah! Everyone knows that Katie Steward is the rightful Women’s Champion!”

 

Knots: “Ah...sure....that’s why Gigi and Madison tried to win back the title.”

 

The referee holds the title over his head and looks around before turning and walking over and handing it off to the ring announcer before backing away and calling for the bell. The bell sounds and Katie Steward walks out of the corner as Syren starts to skip away. They then move to the middle of the ring and Katie quickly kicks Syren in the ribs. She then nails her with another kick and Syren pops up, holding her chest in pain and turns around. Katie quickly grabs her arms and tries to turn her over into the Platinum Blonde, but Syren pushes her away. Katie runs forward and bounces off the ropes and Syren kicks her in the ribs and attempts the Total Makeover, but Katie pushes her away. Syren stumbles back and Katie runs forward and Syren runs forward and nails her with a running shoulder tackle to the ribs. Katie staggers back, clearly in pain and falling into the ropes. Syren then gets up and runs over to Katie and jumps up, hitting her with a crossbody, sending both her and Katie up and over to the floor.

 

Sharper: “And both women go to the floor! We know they hate each other. Been the case since the end of last year.”

 

Johnson: “Syren’s going to hate Katie more after Katie wins her title back!”

 

Dawson: “Well we’ll see about that. Right now, both on the floor. The referee will need to use some discretion here.”

 

Sharper: “One has to wonder whether Syren is hoping to end this fast in order to save some more for her now official Tag Team Championship match at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Johnson: “If she does, she’s a coward.”

 

Syren gets up as does Katie. Both wincing a bit and Syren quickly nails Katie with a hard forearm. Katie winces and Syren then grabs her and turns before going to throw her into the ringpost. Katie, however, blocks it and elbows Syren in the ribs. She then turns and grabs her and drives her face first into the ring apron. Syren quickly rolls back into the ring. Katie then hops onto the apron and steps through the ropes into the ring. Syren gets up and Katie hits a spin kick to the thigh and then to the chest. Syren stumbles back and Katie grabs her and whips her into the ropes. Syren bounces off the ropes and Katie turns only for Syren to jump up and hits a Lou Thesz press. She then nails Katie with several hard right hands on to the jaw. The crowd cheers and Syren gets up and walks around. Katie rolls over and grabs at the ropes. She then turns around to Syren and Syren jumps up and hits a dropkick.

 

Dawson: “Katie’s not doing so hot there TJ?”

 

Johnson: “She’s just testing out Syren’s offensive skills!”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Well, if I was going to test anything of Syren’s, it would be-“

 

Sharper: “Thank you for that Jonathan. But I’ll let the viewers at home use their imagination.”

 

Knots: “That’s what I’ve been using!”

 

Katie slowly stirs and Syren grabs her and then quickly hooks her arm and head before taking her over with a snap suplex. She then floatsover for the pin.

Katie kicks out. Syren looks down and grabs Katie and starts to lift her up. She then drags her over to the corner and drives her face first into the top turnbuckle. Katie turns around and Syren hits a chop. The crowd woos. Syren chops her again before turning and going to whip her across the ring, but Katie stops and sends Syren into the corner. Syren, however, jumps to the bottom rope before floating over, but Katie stayed in the center of the ring. Syren hits the mat and turns around and Katie just nails her with a hard right. The crowd ohs and Katie then grabs her and hits a Saito suplex, taking her down. Syren rolls over and Katie turns and goes for the pin.

Syren shoots her shoulder up. She then turns over and slowly starts to pull herself up. Katie meanwhile grabs her and lifts her up before clubbing her in the back. Syren winces and Katie then takes her over with a back suplex.

 

Sharper: “Syren’s head and neck are taking a beating.”

 

Johnson: “Katie is just dissecting her. She’s just taking her out. That simple. Syren is in between Katie and something she wants.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah, but Syren’s going to fight back. We’ve seen that. She’s gone through the entire Women’s Division. No one has really been able to stop her.”

 

Syren rolls over slowly as Katie starts to pull herself up. She then turns and looks at Syren and smiles before stomping her in the face. Syren rolls over and starts to stir. Katie then grabs her and lifts her up to her feet. Katie then scoop slams her down before turning and walking over to the corner. She then starts to climb up to the middle rope and then to the top. She glances back and dives off the top rope and hits a praying moonsault. The crowd boos as Katie hits the moonsault. She then quickly turns and goes for the pin.

Syren shoot her shoulder up again. Katie rolls off and looks at the referee before smacking the mat in anger.

 

Johnson: “Come on ref! Count right!”

 

Dawson: “I doubt that’s the problem. Maybe Katie’s getting a bit too overzealous thinking she has this.”

 

Sharper: “Frustration is a horrible thing. It makes her look ugly too.”

 

Johnson: “Take that back!”

 

Katie then turns and looks at Syren and grabs her and starts to lift her up, but Syren suddenly takes her over with a small package.

Katie kicks out. Both women roll over and start to get up and Katie turns and attempts a clothesline, but Syren ducks and spins around. Katie then turns to her and Syren kicks her in the ribs and quickly hits a DDT. The crowd cheers and Katie ends up on her back. Syren rolls over and is quite slow to get back up. Syren then turns and stumbles over to the ropes. Katie rolls over to her knees and starts to get up only for Syren to turn and run at her and drill her with the Beauty Tip! The crowd ohs and Syren goes for the pin.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! The Beauty Tip! Syren hit it!”

 

Johnson: “She doesn’t need those!”

 

Knots: “She may after that one though!”

Katie fires her shoulder off the mat and rolls over as the crowd ohs. Syren rolls over and turns to her before jumping up and hitting a spinning leg drop. She then rolls over as Katie holds her face in pain. She stirs only for Syren to grab her and force her up and nails her with a forearm. She hits another before Katie reaches up and rakes her eyes. Katie winces and then grabs Syren and whips her into the ropes. Syren bounces off the ropes and jumps up and hits a leg lariat into an inverted bulldog. The crowd roars and Syren rolls through. Katie rolls over and starts to get up and Syren kicks her in the ribs and attempts the Total Makeover again, but Katie pushes away. Syren manages to stop and both then run at each other and drill each other with clotheslines. The crowd ohs as Syren rolls over to her stomach and Katie remains down on the mat, flat on her back.

 

Dawson: “That Total Makeover, second time Syren’s tried-“

 

Johnson: “And second time she’s failed. It’s just not her night.”

 

Knots: “Not looking like Katie Steward’s night either. Especially if both get counted out!”

 

Syren rolls over again and back onto her back.(1) Katie rolls over and slowly starts to stir. (2) She gets to her hands and knees as Syren rolls over and gets to the ropes. (3) She then starts to slowly pull herself up.(4) Katie then manages to get up as Syren gets up. Syren turns around and Katie runs over and dropkicks her down.

Katie then steps over her and looks around before smiling and setting up for Katie’s Final Desire, but Syren manages to get her legs free and hits a double leg drop on Katie. Katie falls forward and rolls over and Syren suddenly flips forward into a jackknife pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and Syren lets go and immediately rolls out of the ring. Katie rolls over and looks around in absolute shock!

 

Sharper: “Syren! Syren retains!”

 

Johnson: “What? No! Fast count!”

 

Dawson: “Perfectly good count! Syren has defeated Katie Steward!”

 

Knots: “Wins a Tag Title shot tonight and now retains the Women’s Championship!”

 

The referee walks over and is handed the Women’s Championship before he runs across the ring and exits to the floor and hands the title to Syren. Katie just looks around in shock as TJ leaves the announce table and starts to go over to the ring. Katie starts to scream as Syren holds the title up and smiles before jumping up and down a bit. Katie continues to scream in anger and frustration before we go backstage.

The scene opens to see Sasha Drachewych walking down the hallway with a clipboard in her head. She gets a respectable ovation from the fans as she continues down the hallway.

 

Sharper: “Well here we go. The contract signing for the SCW Championship match at Rise to Greatness. Sasha is going to be arbitrating it and this is going to be interesting. Breakdown returns after this!”

 

Sasha continues down the hallway as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Shots of pyro going off at the start of last year’s Rise to Greatness in the Edward Jones Dome is shown as “Hello! Hooray!” by Alice Cooper plays in the background.

 

“Hello!”

 

Slow-motion shows of the spotlights starting to circle are shown.

 

“Hooray! Let the show begin
I've been ready”

 

A shot of Jason Wheeler making his way down to the ring, followed by a shot of CHBK nailing Mr. D with the Bittersweet Ending are shown, before we see a shot of the audience cheering.


“Hello! Hooray! Let the lights grow dim
I've been ready”

 

The shot of Jay Gold hitting the Golden Moment on someone, followed by a shot of James Exeter attempting a shooting star press, only for Shawn Winters to counter it into the Graven Image. This turns into a shot of Damian Angel posing.


“Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream”

 

We then see a shot of Matt Hodges celebrating with the World Championship, followed by a shot of Xander Valentine slowly making his way to the ring.


“Loving every second, every moment, every scream”

 

This is followed by some recent shots of Christian Savior spearing Greg Cherry, followed by Syren posing with the Women’s Championship and finally a shot of Karnivale standing over the ring in the scaffolding.


“I've been waiting so long for this thing to come”

 

We then see a shot of Greg Cherry holding the Adrenaline Championship, followed by a shot of Brayden Walker hitting someone with the Name of the Game and followed with a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on Hurse in Tactical Warfare.


“Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one”

 

A shot of the slow-motion opening of last year’s Rise to Greatness is shown yet again as the music starts to trail off.

 

“Rise to Greatness 2010 – 6 ½ Weeks Away!”

The scene reopens at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Six and a half weeks away before we go to Cowboy Stadium for what will be a huge show. Jake Starr and Josh Hudson. Xander Valentine and Chad Evans. Dark Fantasy and Karnivale. And soon to be official, Greg Cherry and Thorn.”

 

Knots: “This just gets bigger each year.”

 

Dawson: “Oh yeah and before we forget, allow us to quickly just extend our thank you to those here at the Izod Center. With the Stanley Cup Playoffs going on, the Wachovia Center was reserved and they’ve been fantastic in the quick set up and advertisement of the event.”

 

Sharper: “And to those who were planning to go to the Wachovia Center and were unable, details are available on supremecw.com.”

Breakdown returns and we hear the Breakdown theme “Rescue Me” playing throughout the arena as we see Sasha Drachewych standing in the ring, in front of a table with two chairs and one contract in the middle. Sasha picks up one of the three microphones from the table.

 

Dawson: “Welcome back to Breakdown and it’s time for the Rise to Greatness contract signing.”

 

Sasha smiles before beginning to speak.

 

Sasha: “Ladies and gentlemen, in a few moments, we are going to officially sign the main event for this year’s Rise to Greatness.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sasha: “After what was a monumental and spectacular show in Pittsburgh for Taking Hold of the Flame, we saw Thorn win the SCW World Championship for the very first time...and we saw Greg Cherry win Taking Hold of the Flame for the first time. We heard from both a bit earlier tonight, but right now, we’re going to make it all official. So, first, allow me to introduce...the challenger and number one contender, the 2010 Taking Hold of the Flame winner, Greg Cherry!”

 

The opening guitar riffs are heard leading into "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin. The crowd starts to cheer as the opening line is heard.

"I will not bow
I will not break
I will shove the world away
I will not fall
I will not faint
I will take your breath away"

 

Greg Cherry walks out from the back, this time alone, unlike earlier. He looks out at the crowd and smiles before starting to make his way down to the ring. He jogs down a bit before walking over to the steel steps and walking up them before walking along the apron and entering into the ring. He then looks at Sasha and smiles before reaching over and shaking Sasha Drachewych’s hand. He then turns and walks over to his side of the table and looks down and takes a deep breath.

 

Sasha: “And now, please welcome, the SCW World Champion, Thorn!”

 

ll is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a spotlight drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll across the video screen

INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….

The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the keyboard starts again

PATCHING WITH THE "BROTHERHOOD" EXPANSION...

The background sounds continue, then more words.

SUBJECT: THORN…

The background noise echoes loudly around the arena, becoming almost deafening as tapping on the keyboard can be heard one last time.

EVALUATION: DEADLY…

The gunfire and sirens halt and all is silent before two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. A voice can be heard echoing around the arena

“I’d Rather Die Than Live Down On My Knees”

The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Higinia” by Blessthefall blasts out as the lights flicker back on and Thorn can be seen on top of the entrance way, with the SCW World Championship over his shoulder. Thorn then starts to make his way down to the ring without Charlotte. He walks down the ramp and hops onto the apron. He then looks into the ring before stepping through the ropes and walking over to Sasha and shaking her hand as well. He then stays on the side of the ring he’s already on before looking at Greg Cherry.

 

Sasha: “Without further ado, I’m not going to waste any time. Greg, you being the challenger, I’ll allow you to go first. The pen and contract are right in front of you on the table. If you would, please sign the contract.”

 

Greg just looks at the contract and moves it over to him. He then looks down at it for a moment and flips through it before then grabbing the microphone. He then turns to Sasha.

 

Greg: “I’d love to do it Sasha. But I need to know something first.”

 

The crowd sighs a bit.

 

Greg: “Earlier tonight, Jason Zero was in your office and gave you a little contract to essentially move into this match. Now, I know I’m maybe coming off like a hypocrite to some, given my history, but I’m not going to sign this match if it gets changed and Jason Zero extorts his way into the main event. I fought hard to get here. So did Thorn. It should be the two of us.”

 

Sasha: “Well, Greg....”

 

Greg: “Sorry Sasha....but I need to know. And until I do, this contract won’t be signed.”

 

Sasha just looks down and looks up, running her hand through her hair before Thorn grabs his microphone and turns to Sasha.

 

Thorn: “And I’m the same. I may have a lot of problems with you Greg....but that’s part of the reason I was looking forward to this one on one. You and I both proved we should be here....but on top of that....I have something I need to deal with...with you Greg. I have something that I need to take out to you Greg...”

 

The crowd roars as Sasha lets out another deep breath. She then turns away and nods.

 

Knots: “Being put on the spot.”

 

Dawson: “This contract signing could go south quickly.”

 

Sasha: “Alright.....alright.....”

 

Sasha then reaches into her sportcoat and reveals the contract Zero had given her earlier. She then looks at it for a moment before then ripping the contract in two in front of both Greg and Thorn. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Greg and Thorn both smile.

 

Sasha: “There you have it. I’m not giving it to him. He’s going to have to earn his World Championship shot!”

 

The crowd cheers a bit more as Greg nods.

 

Greg: “Then you’ve got a signature...”

 

Greg bends over and goes to sign the contract...

 

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

 

The sound of Katie Steward giggling is heard before boos start to come from all over the arena.

 

Sharper: “Oh come on!”

 

Katie Steward walks out from the back with TJ Johnson, Robin Brooks and Paris Dannon. The boos continue as Katie walks forward and stops before looking to TJ. TJ walks over with a microphone and kneels down, holding it up for her.

 

Katie: “Um...excuse me!”

 

The crowd boos before Katie Steward clears her throat again. Greg and Thorn both look at the rampway clearly ticked.

 

Katie: “I’m sorry, but I cannot allow this travesty to be made official. Why? Because clearly, Katie Steward is not in the main event to make the event just that much more amazing. The night where I finally regain what is ACTUALLY mine, the SCW World Championship!”

 

Sharper: “She loses against Syren earlier trying to regain a title she claimed was her and now the SCW World Championship is hers.”

 

Knots: “It really want whatever she’s on. It sounds friggin’ amazing!”

 

Katie: “And so, I’m going to make this clear right now. Since I’ve beaten BOTH Thorn and Greg Cherry in the last two months along, I think it’s obvious that I should be added to the main event of Rise to Greatness as I’ve worked just as hard to get the shot! Oh yes!”

 

The crowd boos as Greg and Thorn both even look more displeased. Sasha just looks a bit flustered as Katie smiles before suddenly “Coming Home” begins to play throughout the arena and more boos come from the crowd. Katie and her entourage turn and move over to the side a bit as Christian Savior walks out from the back with a microphone of his own. He then walks over to the other side of the rampway.

 

Knots: “Yes! There’s the man who deserves a shot!”

 

Sharper: “Give me a break. Everyone is trying to muscle into the main event spot of Rise to Greatness!”

 

Savior smirks as the boos continue and Katie just scowls at Savior.

 

Savior: “Well, okay, I had to come out here. I couldn’t take anymore of that air raid siren talking. The fact of the matter is that to be honest, Greg....I beat you hands down six weeks ago. And Thorn...pfft....I’ve dropped you with the spear a few times. I’m going to put it this way....if she deserves to be added-“

 

Savior points to Katie.

 

Savior: “Then I do. Because the fact of the matter is that really, I took Thorn out of Tactical Warfare....and had SCW’s poor craftsmanship not been the case, I would’ve won Tactical Warfare for my team and Thorn would never have gotten his title shot and never won the title....and so Sasha...I think SCW owes me....”

 

Katie: “Pfft...I so would’ve won for our team!”

 

Savior: “Oh quiet Barbie.”

 

Sasha: “Enough!”

 

Sasha rubs her face and looks around, clearly frustrated.

 

Sasha: “No one is going to muscle their way into the Rise to Greatness main event!”

 

The crowd roars as Savior and Katie both look up at the ring and Sasha with a bit of shock.

 

Sasha: “Are either of you the World Champion right now? Did either of you win the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal? Katie...you fell short. And Savior...you didn’t enter. But I’ve got an interesting idea. Since both of you want to prove your worth and so happy to throw out your resumes....let’s see who can add a win at Rise to Greatness 2010 on their resume....because we’re going to see Katie Steward and Christian Savior go at it....and the winner....well, let’s just say that I’ll definitely consider giving them a title shot at Apocalypse.”

 

The crowd roars as Savior and Katie turn to each other. Savior just smirks before backing up and laughing a bit before exiting to the back. Katie just looks around, clearly frustrated. Katie then starts to yell into the microphone.

 

Katie: “That’s not fair! Not fair! At all-“

 

Sasha: “Please cut her mic!”

 

The crowd cheers as Katie continues.

 

Katie: “That’s MY Ti-“

 

Katie suddenly goes silent, her microphone turned off. She continues to yell on the top of the entrance way as Sasha turns to Greg and Thorn.

 

Sharper: “And how about that....Sasha again showing some of that maturity. Making a decision when one needed to be made!”

 

Dawson: “Wow...Savior and Katie at Rise to Greatness arguably for a title shot....”

 

Sharper: “And now, the contract in the ring...”

 

Sasha: “Now that that’s out of the way....is your security in this match now assuaged?”

 

Greg just smiles before turning to the contract and signing it. The crowd cheers and Greg then slides it to Thorn. Thorn nods before grabbing the pen and unfolding the pages to the area for signatures and signs it as well. The crowd cheers and Sasha then grabs the contract and holds it up.

 

Sasha: “And there you have it. It’s official. Thorn will defend his World Championship against Greg Cherry in the main event of Rise to Greatness this year. Good luck...to both of you.”

 

Sasha smiles as “Good Life” by Three Days Grace starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd cheers as Thorn and Greg then lock eyes again. Thorn then looks at the SCW World Championship on his shoulder. He slowly starts to lift the title up in the air as Greg just smirks and points to it before back to himself. Thorn just responds to him with words. The camera continues to show Thorn and Greg standing right across from each other. It starts to close up on the SCW World Championship before the scene fades to black...
