Breakdown - March 15, 2017

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

We open up with a shot of the outside of the building to see Bree Lancaster walking out of her car. She is notably wearing the same mask, covering her face that she had back in November. She turns to Blake Mason, still sporting bruises over his face, who walks around. They both are wearing custom-made Tom Brady New England Patriot jerseys. Scott Burnside grabs their bags out of the trunk and closes it.

Bree: “Blake…I am not going to go in the ring with her. Tell them. Let’s go find them and tell them.”

Blake: “Relax Bree…we’ll take care of it.”

Bree: “Good. Even though I’ll certainly break her in two as I did at Retribution, I am not risking this…not with what I have on the horizon. Right Scott?”

The camera turns to Scott.

Scott: “Exactly. Need to make sure you look classy.”

Bree: “So there…that’s it. Upon further review, after that barbarian hurt my nose…Nope. Not going to give her the honour of losing to me again! She should be thankful!”

Blake: “A shame…may prevent her from being in the conversation for the World Title for another night. Perhaps I should leapfrog over her and Kelcey.”

Blake smirks.

Bree: “That would be PERFECT if you ask me.”

Blake, Bree and Scott turn and head into the building. The crowd boos as we cut away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Atlanta, Georgia for Breakdown. We are ten days removed from Retribution, on a night where PUNK HAZARD seems to be no longer and while Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster may have won, Selena Frost and Kelcey Wallace certainly beat the holy hell out of them. Adam Sharper here with Shawn Winters at ringside!”

Winters: “And Selena has another shot, at least on paper. Bree Lancaster, we just heard may not be up for it. But Selena Frost has a match with Bree Lancaster!”

Sharper: “We also have a huge Tag Team Championship match. Sisterhood gets their shot against Honour Code, finally, and we’ll see whether they can shake off the stunning defeat that Lexi von Aaron gave them.”

Winters: “Her ribs probably still are screaming in pain. She’s limping a bit. It was a war.’

Sharper: “The roofed cage. That was a war. You can watch it on demand on your local cable and pay per view carriers.”

She walks up the steel steps. She then steps into the ring, stepping in and wincing a bit. She holds her ribs a bit and walks over to the corner. She asks for a microphone. Jason Phillips hands her the microphone as she takes it. Selena turns and walks over to the middle of the ring. She looks around as the crowd cheers her some more. She just nods and smiles a bit before the music fades out. After a moment, she starts to speak.

Selena: “At Retribution, I was in a war.”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “And I may stand here with the win/loss record not in my favour and that’s on me, True Believers. I missed the Glass Shard. Kelcey was kind enough to offer the opportunity to get that one shot on Blake Mason and end it all after she had beaten the holy hell out of Blake….But if anyone is looking at that match and thinking Bree and Blake are winners, I’ll be blunt…they got the ass-kicking that they deserved and some.”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “It may not have been perfect. But it was amazing, True Believers, to show Blake and Bree that they couldn’t run, they couldn’t hide and they got the beating that they deserved. After the injuries to Chris, the attempted injury to Sienna, threatening me, Kelcey, Simon….my only regret is that we were not standing tall at the end for Kelcey as I know she wanted that more than anything, but I am happy that we gave them such a beating….that leads to tonight.”

Selena scoffs a bit.

Selena: “Bree apparently doesn’t want to give me the honour, what was it that she said before I came out here….to lose to her again?”

Selena shakes her head.

Selena: “Apparently Bree went from hyping up tonight’s main event to getting up this morning and remembering what Kelcey and I did to her and Blake. How is the nose? That…despite Sienna’s anger…that was for her. I’m not necessarily proud that I did something that violent, but as I’ve been told time and time again, this is a contact sport and Bree, if anyone deserved it, it may be you. But to say that you’re not going to give these fans what they deserve, what they paid to see, you and I in tonight’s main event, that’s something I will not stand and Bree, I will be in that ring, waiting for you later tonight. No matter what. Why? Well, True Believers…this is what I do. I may not be one-hundred percent. My ribs scream in pain, but that won’t stop me from having one more shot at you Bree…So Bree…better shine up some better excuses, but me and all the True Believers will be waiting for you later tonight!”

The crowd cheers as Selena looks around.

Selena: “But much like people like Bree and Blake who think they can run the show…I should probably mention something about Vixen Cain, our World Champion…”

The crowd boos.

Selena: “He’ll talk out one side of his mouth and say I don’t deserve a shot against him and then he takes the white leather strap that I had for my World Title and throw it into the crowd just because he can. Well-“

“Danse Macabre” then cuts her off as Selena stops and the crowd boos. Vixen Cain then walks out from the back, wearing his fur coat and taking a draw from his cigarette in its holder. He smiles as he steps out and looks around. He then holds a finger up before reaching into his fur coat and pulling out a microphone before opening up his fur coat, showing the SCW World Championship around his waist.

Sharper: “There’s the World Champion.”

Winters: “First Selena, then Syren, then Gable Winchester. Three matches, three wins, World Championship on the line in each of them.”

Cain holds the microphone up. Selena goes to speak again as his music fades out.

Cain: “Sorry, my ears were burning and that took much too long before mentioned me, so I can’t help but feel a bit annoyed. I mean, you had plans. BIG PLANS. You wanted to take over the world or something like that, dearie….and I screwed it all up. I figured I’d be sooner than minute ten!”

Selena: “You make it hard to ignore you Cain, with all of your-“

Cain: “Messages? I mean some fan got a great souvenir, but was it the real one…or just a fake….or ….sorry, I’m just getting ahead of myself. You were speaking about me. Please, go ahead. I figured I can be out here for this and we all know D loves me on his TV.”

Selena looks at Cain as Cain just offers a smirk.

Selena: “Vixen…dodge me all you want. You and I do have unfinished business. You want to take personal shots. Fine. But I will keep coming back and I have made a habit of rising to the occasion and I do still have plan for the World Championship if I get it back. I was going to give opportunity. The same type of opportunity you took advantage of. But a champion does not cross people off their list…they accept them, they are challenged by them and they beat them…and Cain, I will beat you when I get the chance…BELIEVE IT!”

The crowd roars as Cain just smiles and looks around. We see the crowd cheering in the background as Cain stands on the stage. Cain then looks down at the ring.

Cain: “We’ll see if you even get the chance. Don’t get ahead of yourself there Selena…you have Bree….and don’t you have Kelcey to look out for. Was that Glass Shard really accidental?”

Cain shrugs.

Cain: “You’ve got a full dance card as is…”

Cain backs up and returns to the back. The crowd boos. Selena just watches him leave. “Danse Macabre” starts to play as Selena shakes her head and turns and hands the microphone back off. Selena then scoffs a bit.

Sharper: “Cain arrogant as always, but I would not doubt Selena Frost.”

Winters: “Then again, he writing a lot of cheques he may not be able to cash. Add that D hates him. Selena may be one of many who may have more than a deserving shot at him!”

Selena exits the ring and we cut backstage.

Backstage we see a shot of Selena walking up the ramp on a monitor before panning out to see Blake Mason watching it and just chuckling.

Blake: “Bree…we’ll have to show this-“

Bree: “What?”

Bree comes over. Blake turns to her.

Blake: “Selena seems hellbent on facing you. Her and her true believers are going to be waiting for you…and then she talked about Cain, because World Title always seems to be something in her background.”

Bree: “Let her have that and fail. I’m not going out there.”

Blake: “We’re working on it…we’re working on it.”

Bree: “Plus, if anyone’s getting a title shot, it should be you or I.”

Blake smirks.

Blake: “Trust me…I’m thinking about it. A lot to think about…It feels good to be past some of that all. And not tied down.”

Bree: “And if I don’t have to face Selena, then we can finally be past this all.”

Bree then steps back and off camera as Blake smirks. The crowd boos as we slowly cut to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see a shot of the outside of the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The crowd cheers seeing it on the screen.

Sharper: “We are here in Hotlanta, GA for Breakdown. Retribution a huge night. A historic night and one not just for the roofed cage or the Shot of Adrenaline tournament finals which we’ll discuss later, but it’s also the ending of PUNK HAZARD.”

We then see the Retribution logo come up on the screen with “Like a Nightmare” by Never Say Die playing in the background. We then see a still of Dante McCaffery holding a retractable nightstick standing over Alexis Quinne, inside the Tactical Warfare cage.

Sharper: “PUNK HAZARD in disarray if not over. Alexis Quinne is not here tonight. We’re not sure she’ll ever be back. Grundy requested and received his release. While Dawn Lohan, Kennedy Street, Tommy Valentine, Jake Starr and Ravyn Taylor came for a war, Dante McCaffery made sure he was a difference maker and with a retractable nightstick took everyone out of his opponents, before one at a time, taking out each member of PUNK HAZARD before Alexis Quinne asked why.”

Winters: “That why we’re still wondering to this moment. We have no clue why. Dante McCaffery left immediately after Tactical Warfare.”

Sharper: “He struck down Quinne. Dante has been fined for the shot, but a lot of questions and we hope to hear from Dante McCaffery later tonight.”

Brett Sinclaire vs. Ravyn Taylor

SCW Television Championship

“Kingdom” by Downstait hits the speakers as all the lights in the arena go out, though a number of fans will light up their phones to try and cut through the darkness. As the lyrics begin, the Tron suddenly comes to life, playing past clips of Brett Sinclaire in action. As the song reaches the line “Waiting for me to start the show” a lone spotlight suddenly shines down on the center of the stage, revealing a figure with his back turned as he stares up at the Tron, the spotlight reflecting off the numerous sequins on his robe, especially the “Evolution Incarnate” script on the back. As the song hits the chorus, the figure suddenly spins around and throws his arms up, palms to the sky as gold pyro rains down behind him and all the lights slowly come back on, albeit dimmed quite a bit.

Phillips: “Your opening contest tonight is scheduled for onefall, with a twenty minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, on his way to the ring, the challenger, from Manhattan, New York, he is Evolution Incarnate, Brett Sinclaire!”

Brett Sinclaire looks out at the fans with a smile, accepting the split reaction he’s being given as he slowly makes his way down to the ring, the spotlight following him. When he reaches ringside he hops up onto the apron and steps between the ropes before he makes his way to the center of the ring where he repeats his pose from up on the stage, closing his eyes to take everything in as the lights all return to normal now. Brett backs into his corner and removes his robe before warming up for the match ahead, a focused look we’ve never seen before from him on his face.

Sharper: “Brett Sinclaire has wanted this opportunity again for a while. He came close against Kennedy Street and couldn’t get it done. He wants to hold the TV title.”

Winters: “Well my sources…okay, Knots’ sources, they tell me that if he fails here, he’s going to be passed over for a while. He’s got to make good here.”

Sharper: “He tried to earn a US Title shot. Scott Burnside got involved at Retribution in that battle royal, distracting Sinclaire long enough. But after a hot start, he needs that moment to break through.”

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

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

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

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

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

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Hell, Michigan, representing Dark Fantasy, she is the reigning and defending Television Champion, the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

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

Sharper: “Meanwhile, I’m curious what Ravyn Taylor thinks of Dante McCaffery, their chess match that they’ve been having. Their self-defined chess match.”

Winters: “Yeah, but I think she’s worrying about the TV Title right now!”

The bell sounds. Ravyn pulls herself up and walks along the ropes. Brett Sinclaire steps up and the two of them start to circle the ring. Brett then lunges and Ravyn spins around and rolls him up with a school boy.

Brett kicks out. Ravyn falls back and gets up. Brett gets up and turns and Ravyn kicks him in the ribs and then rakes his eyes. Brett staggers back to the corner. Ravyn nails her with a hard forearm and then another before grabbing him and going to run him along the top rope. Brett turns and staggers off, holding his eye. He turns around and Ravyn hits a dropkick. She goes for the pin.

Brett kicks out.

Sharper: “Hard dropkick, only a one.”

Winters: “Brett not wanting to give that much up early, but it’s not going well for him.”

Brett turns and starts to get up. Ravyn forearms him in the jaw and then again. Brett staggers back to the ropes. Ravyn goes to whip him off, but Brett spins through and sends Ravyn in. Ravyn bounces off and Brett hits a hip toss. Ravyn gets up and Brett kicks her in the ribs and grabs her and hits a scoop slam. Ravyn turns and grabs at the ropes. She starts to get up and Brett walks over and shoulders her in the ribs. He rears back and shoulders her again. He then grabs Ravyn and whips her across. She hits the corner. Brett runs after and Ravyn gets a boot in the face. Brett staggers back. Ravyn runs out and nails him with a discus lariat, knocking him down. She goes for the pin.

Brett kicks out. He starts to get up and Ravyn hits a snapmare and locks in a reverse chinlock.

Sharper: “And Ravyn back in control. Simple moves. Well done. Wear down holds.”

Winters: “Ravyn may not be as big, but she knows what to do. She has perfected her tactics. We cannot deny that. Former World Champion.”

She holds on and Sinclaire stirs. He starts to slowly get his feet under him. Ravyn holds on and then lets go and elbows him in the back of the head. Sinclaire staggers back and Ravyn jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking him back into the corner. Ravyn gets up and turns and runs at Sinclaire. Sinclaire moves to the apron at the last moment. Ravyn hits the corner and turns and Sinclaire grabs the top rope and slingshots in with a pendulum kick. Ravyn staggers out. She remains on her feet before turning and Sinclaire gets up and hits a stunning dropkick to the jaw. He goes for the pin.

Ravyn kicks out. She turns and starts to get up. Sinclaire grabs her and hooks her up before hitting a fisherman’s suplex into a bridge.

Ravyn kicks out. She turns and Sinclaire grabs her and runs her over to the corner and drives her face first into the top turnbuckle. She turns.

Sharper: “Sinclaire sends Ravyn into the turnbuckle.”

Winters: “Sinclaire almost wrestling with a lot of urgency. I’ve been in the ring with her. You keep the pressure on her. Force her to reaction. When she thinks, you’re screwed!”

Sinclaire then scoops her up and turns and just throws her down with a scoop slam. Sinclaire turns and pulls himself up onto the middle turnbuckle. Ravyn starts to get up and Sinclaire then stands up and hits the Falling Star. He turns and hooks the leg.

Ravyn shoots her shoulder up. Sinclaire looks up. He grabs her and lifts her up to her feet. Sinclaire knees her before scooping her up onto his shoulder. Ravyn kicks her legs and manages to slide down. Sinclaire steps forward and turns around and Ravyn hits a jawbreaker. Sinclaire stumbles back before stepping forward and Ravyn jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

Sinclaire kicks out in time.

Sharper: “Nearfall. Hurricanrana nearly ended Sinclaire dream for the time being.”

Winters: “And that’s got to be in the back of his mind. That has to be his motivation. Just like retaining is it for Ravyn.”

Sharper: “That’s the issue with the TV title. It’s an endurance title. Defended every week on SCW television programming!”

Sinclaire turns and starts to get up. Ravyn gets up and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Sinclaire steps up and Ravyn drills him with the Bust of Pallas. The crowd ohs. Ravyn goes for the pin.

Sinclaire gets his shoulder up. He turns and Ravyn looks up and turns. She grabs him and pulls him up. She clubs him in the back and then again. Sinclaire suddenly shoves her back and Ravyn steps forward only for Sinclaire to jump up and hit the Eye Opener. Ravyn pops up and down. Sinclaire rolls over to the ropes. He winces and starts to climb up to his feet. He glances back and jumps to the middle rope and dives back with the springboard middle rope moonsault to Ravyn’s back. Ravyn grimaces and rolls over. Sinclaire hooks the leg.

Ravyn shoots her shoulder up. Sinclaire then looks up and looks around before exiting to the apron. He goes to the corner and climbs up to the top rope.

Sharper: “Nearfall. But Ravyn gets that shoulder up. Holding on here.”

Winters: “But Sinclaire starting to take risks. He’s starting to get desperate I think.”

Sharper: “He’s climbing to the top. He hits something, this could be it. Worked for the Falling Star earlier.”

Sinclaire gets to the top rope and dives off, but Ravyn rolls out of the way. Sinclaire goes for a double stomp and rolls through. Ravyn then turns and runs at Sinclaire and Sinclaire pulls the top rope down. Ravyn goes up and over the top rope to the floor. She winces on the floor. Just then, the crowd roars as we see Raven Tyler, Alex Drake’s Ravyn Taylor mimick, run out from the back. She runs down at full sprint, wearing an almost identical version of Ravyn’s current wrestling attire. She runs past Ravyn and slides into the ring. She then gets up and then drops down to the mat. Sinclaire looks surprised as both he and referee clearly saw her come in. Raven tells Sinclaire to cover her.

Sharper: “What in the world…”

Winters: “Alex Drake’s lookalike coming out. Raven Tyler out here!”

Sharper: “I thought Syren may have embarrassed that all out of him at Retribution!”

Winters: “Well she wants Sinclaire to cover her. Now is this Drake trying to screw with Sinclaire or Ravyn?”

Sharper: “I don’t know. Get her out of there!”

Ravyn gets up on the floor and Sinclaire just backs off and turns around. Raven gets up and steps over, but Ravyn grabs her and turns before spinning her around and throwing her out of the ring. She turns around and Sinclaire promptly rolls her up in a small package, intentionally putting all of his weight on Ravyn’s shoulders.

Ravyn kicks out frantically, but the weight is too much as Sinclaire rolls off and Ravyn turns. She just remains on her knees and looks up, running her hand through her hair.

Phillips: “Here is your winner and NEW SCW Television Champion, Brett Sinclaire!”

Sharper: “Sinclaire wins the title! But with an assist!”

Winters: “Ravyn is stunned. Sinclaire saw Ravyn get the imposter out of the ring. She’s still at ringside, but Sinclaire intelligently used his weight. He wanted this bad.”

Sharper: “I don’t know if that’s how he wanted to win it-“

Winters: “Who cares? He’s now TV Champion. He can finally cross off one of the things on his list!”

Ravyn shakes her head before turning and seeing Raven.

Raven: “Should’ve let me stay in there. I was going to lure-“

Ravyn then rolls to the floor. Raven turns and runs off and quickly runs away from the ring. Ravyn just stops and slowly starts to walk around the ring, shaking her head as Sinclaire is handed the Television Championship. He holds it over his head. The crowd cheers a bit. The camera focuses on Sinclaire as he stands in the ring celebrating. We see Raven bolt to the back as Ravyn slowly walks up the rampway where Jessica Winters is waiting.

Jessica: “Ravyn, I’m sure you’d rather be speaking on better circumstances having just lost the TV Championship in these dubious circumstances, but we wanted to get your thoughts on Dante McCaffery turning on PUNK HAZARD. Given your chess match, was this a move you had foreseen?”

Ravyn: “Well about that dubious ending…I’ll have a resolution to that soon enough. As for Dante McCaffery….I’ll admit that was move I did not foresee. But Dante went for the big move, but I don’t get impressed by big moves. PUNK HAZARD may be done. Their members in disarray. Dante McCaffery may have the spotlight as he has thrived to enjoy…but I lurk in the shadows and I get results.”

Jessica: “Dante had results too.”

Ravyn just smirks.

Ravyn: “Yes he did. But not against me. And that’s the only result I care about. Now if you excuse, I have some bird hunting to engage in.”

Ravyn steps past Jessica and heads to the back as Brett Sinclaire continues to celebrate with the Television Championship.

We cut backstage to see Kennedy Street, bandage above her eye, and Jake Starr backstage. The crowd cheers seeing them.

Jake: “Funny how sometimes she gets something right.”

Kennedy: “Just playing the part.”

Jake: “Almost like you could be an actress.”

Kennedy smiles a bit.

Jake: “I may have been wrong about you a few years back.”

Kennedy: “Same for you.”

Jake: “Thanks….”

Kennedy: “I should go and get ready for my match.”

Jake: “About that….is the jackass here today?”

Kennedy: “Jackass?...Oh, Ethan.”

Jake: “Yep.”

Kennedy: “Yeah.”

Jake: “As much as it pains me to say this….you may have proven yourself to be above that jackass.”

Kennedy doesn’t say anything.

Jake: “Look, I may be a prick, but I say some pretty honest crap. After tonight, we’re probably not going to be much on speaking terms…so consider that my repayment for not being a complete bitch at Retribution.”

Kennedy: “Yeah, thanks…”

Jake: “Just sayin’.”

Jake walks off as Kennedy watches Jake leave and sighs before turning and heading off as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Raven Tyler running through the backstage area. She turns the corner and we then see Syren jogging after her. She turns to the corner and looks down, but Raven is no longer there.

Syren: “God damn it…”

Syren turns around and we see Ravyn Taylor walking over to her.

Syren: “I thought that jackass would learn his lesson.”

Ravyn: “What he lacks in tact, he seems to make up in persistence.”

Syren: “Well, I’ll fix this-“

Syren goes to step past Ravyn, but Ravyn stops her.

Ravyn: “I’ll handle it.”

Syren: “Look, you have Dante…”

Ravyn: “After the Selena issues that she’s still ducking-“

Syren: “Still?”

Ravyn: “I doubt she’s even getting any memos. I put in a match request each week now as routine. I bet the office is ignoring them too with PUNK HAZARD and rightfully so. But the fact that I still owe her and haven’t yet, I want to make sure I see this through to the end…as with everything with Dante.”

Syren just looks at Ravyn.

Ravyn: “You have other matters to tend to.”

Syren: “Not thanks to Drake.”

Ravyn: “An idiot never stopped you in the past.”

Ravyn looks at Syren as she just nods and we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage in one of the locker rooms. We see Selena Frost sitting down before looking up.

Selena: “Kelcey.”

The crowd cheers as Selena stands up and Kelcey Wallace is standing across from her.

Kelcey: “Hi…”

Selena: “Look, I just-“

Kelcey cuts her off.

Kelcey: “I know what you’re going to say. Don’t say it. Nothing to apologize for. It happened. It’s what it is. I took Blake a bit too lightly after kicking his ass. I forget he was a bit more resilient than that.”

Selena: “I guess…”

Kelcey: “But Selena…you have Bree…take advantage.”

Selena smirks.

Selena: “If she’s out there, I’m there.”

Kelcey smirks.

Kelcey: “Don’t worry. She’ll be there. You deserve it….”

Selena seems a bit confused.

Selena: “Uh…Kelcey.”

Kelcey starts to head off before turning and looks at her.

Kelcey: “I have some other matters to take care of tonight, but I will be there and I will be watching you kick Bree’s ass one last time.”

The crowd cheers as Kelcey turns and walks off camera as Selena smiles a bit. We cut back to the ring.

The F-Ups (Beard & The Juice) vs. Manvel & Derek Adonis

The lights dim down, and green smoke begins to slowly drift up and around the entrance ramp, when the voice of Beard can be heard saying, “A lot of wrestlers talkin’ that crap,” followed by Juice’s voice saying, “Not enough doin’ that crap…”. Then, “White Crime” by Lil Dicky begins to blare through the PA system and out from the smoke emerges Beard and Juice, walking in slow motion. Beard slowly poses, flexing muscles and pointing to his beard. Juice slowly jaws with the crowd, while slowly patting himself on the chest. The music continues to play, with Beard and Juice’s voices heard once more saying:

“White crime
White crime
Yeah, we ‘bout that
Do a lot of dirt, never doubt that
Lot of wrestle twerps, love to shout crap
Love to make their mouth flat
When it come to the Ups, no, we spout facts
You 'gon learn what we 'bout, bruh”

Slowly ascending to the top rope, the Fuck Ups pose once more, drinking in all of the jeers. They then quickly jump down off of the top rope and roll to the outside.

Sharper: “Here is an interesting tag team that is starting to make waves in the SCW, The F Ups and they have a strong test ahead of them tonight Shawn.”

Winters: “Are you being facetious here Adam?”

Sharper: “Maybe a little. We saw the Twitter war earlier between Beard and Manvel, this will be entertaining if anything else but this is SCW and on any Given Wednesday, Shawn. Manvel was part of Trios, he did win a Battle Royal so you have to at least be weary that both he and Adonis have talent.”

Sharper: “You have to in order to compete at this level.”

We first here Derek Adonis’ voice.

“LADIES – YOUR ADONIS IS HERE!”

This is followed by Manvel’s voice.

“MANTASTIC DADDY!”

The crowd roars as a horrible mishmash of “Wanna B Ur Lovr” and “All Around the Stars” plays, perhaps simply just with both songs playing at the same time, echoes throughout the arena. Manvel walks out, dripping in oil as Derek Adonis walks out and gyrates to the crowd.

Phillips: “And their opponents, they are Manvelous, Mantastic…Manvel…and Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

They start to walk to the ring as the crowd’s cheers turn to boos, largely from the music. They head to the ring and Manvel just smiles confidently but stops at the entrance way as Derek Adonis tries to talk to some female fans at ringside before being shot down. He steps back and frowns at them before heading to the ring. Adonis walks up the steel steps. Manvel hops onto the apron and slingshots into the ring. He then hops up and down as Adonis walks around the ring….

Manvel grabs the mic, a bottle of oil in his hand….

Winters: “Oh boy here we go.”

Sharper: “Manvel promised a grease off whatever that means Shawn.”

Winters: “It means grab some ponchos, Adam.”

Manvel points at all the ladies that cheer, Adonis struts a little and screams “KABLAM!”….

Manvel: “Daddy, I said earlier on Twitter that we were going to have a GREASE OFF! The ladies want to see my pecs, lats, glutes, toids, tri’s, bi’s and abs all nice and shiny before I dropkick all your asses into next week!”

The crowd cheers, some boo as Juice and Beard look on. Juice steps up and points at Manvel….

Juice: “You’re on!”

Manvel: “You’re about to find out that I am Mantastic, Manvelous and damn it daddy I’m Manstrous! I’m a Manimal in this ring and your granny’s favorite wrestler!”

Juice and Beard just look at each other a bit confused, then Beard takes the mic….

Beard: “My granny’s favorite wrestler is Greg Cherry so hah!”

Manvel: “That maybe everyone’s Granny’s favorite wrestler except for yours! Let’s do this daddy!”

The referee tries to separate them both but Adonis helps him to the side as Manvel sprays some oil and starts rubbing it on his body. Beard sprays some on Juice and starts rubbing it on his before realizing his rubbing oil on another dude, Manvel and Adonis look on in a bit of shock….

Beard: “Wait… I was just helping him out! He has a nervous twitch on his right arm and….help me here Juice!?”

Juice: “He’s being a manly man!”

Manvel: “Manly Men rub their own oil! Like this!?”

Manvel starts to pose, showing off his chiseled physique all while rubbing oil on himself. In his tight red tights, he shows off his abs as the crowd roars, some boo. Juice then pushes Beard to the side and poses in front of Manvel, showing off his physique as well, really impressive as Manvel nods, he then sprays oil into Juice’s face and dropkicks him as the fans roars, Beard turns and tries to help his partner as Manvel hops up and down fist pumping before Beard forearms him to the mat, the referee calls for the bell….

Sharper: “The grease off is over and we have a match!”

Winters: “You make it sound that is a good thing.”

Sharper: “A match or a couple of guys having a grease off?”

Winters: “You have no arguments from me, you are absolutely right.”

Beard and Adonis start to pummel each other, Beard knees Adonis in the gut. Juice has recovered as Manvel who is in the corner. Beard throws Adonis against the ropes, he ducks but Adonis kicks him in the shoulder staggering Beard back, he hits a thunderous clothesline and screams KABLAM! Tagging Manvel who hops the ropes and picks up Beard, he throws him against the turnbuckle and runs at him, Beard gets his foot up staggering Manvel, he follows with a flying neckbreaker and goes for the cover…

1!

2!

Manvel kicks out!

Beard tries to grab Manvel but he’s so greasy he slips and Manvel rolls him for a pin….

1!

2!

Beard kicks out!

Winters: “Did you see that? He was so greasy, Beard slipped into a roll up and almost lost the damn match.”

Sharper: “We may joke about it but baby oil is an advantage for Manvel, the greasiest wrestler in the SCW.”

Beard comes back with a clothesline, he drags Manvel to the corner and tags in Juice, he hops the ropes and grabs Manvel, going for a clothesline and botches it as both slip off each other and hit the mats. The crowd laughs, some scream “You Fckd Up!”. Manvel gets up and throws a punch, he glances Juice, he returns the favor and it glances Manvel, both hits slipping off. They get frustrated, Manvel suddenly notices the tattoos on Juice have washed away from the oil and the punches, he points at them and starts to laugh, Juice looks down upset for a moment and looks at Beard who shrugs his shoulders, he then turns back to Manvel who hits him again with the Mantastic Dropkick square in the jaw as the crowd roars, Manvel hops again with a fist pump before tagging in Adonis who steps in, grabs Juice and hits a sit down powerbomb as the crowd oh’s….

Winters: “What a series of moves and wow this could be over!”

Sharper: “Adonis could have him for the cover!”

The referee drops down for the count…

1!

2!

Juice kicks out!

Juice staggers and Adonis throws him against the ropes, Beard goes into his little bag asking for a tag, Juice tries but Adonis grabs him and goes for another sit down power bomb, Beard comes in and Manvel tries to stop him but he squirts hot pepper sauce in his face the referee didn’t see with his super soaker, Manvel yelps and falls through the ropes, Adonis turns around and grabs the Super Soaker from Beard and threatens to shoot him but doesn’t see Juice hit him with a backcracker. Adonis falls to the ground as he tags Beard who climbs the top rope and hits Beard Buster….

Winters: “That may be the worst stomp off the top rope I have ever seen Sharper.”

Sharper: “Bless his botch Shawn, this could be over…. Mercifully.”

Beard goes for the cover while Manvel is on the outside splashing some fans soda in his face….

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings, Beard gets up and high fives Juice as “White Crime” by Lil Dicky plays throughout the arena. The fans cheer, some boo, The F Ups celebrate in the ring while Adonis rolls out of the ring where Maven is at so they can console one another….

Phillips: “The winner of the match, The F Ups!”

The two celebrate in the ring as Adonis tries to help Manvel who slips from his grip….

Winters: “The F Ups are victorious here and Manvel is too greasy for Adonis grip.’

Sharper: “Bless their heart….”

We open backstage to the SCW interview area to see Spirit Dansby standing by with Craig Thomas, by himself.

Spirit: “Welcome backstage here in Atlanta. Spirit Dansby here and I am with Adrenaline Rush member, Craig Thomas and Craig, later tonight, you’ll face Regan Street in a singles match and Regan, she went after Tyler Tucker at Retribution. You’ve always been his protector in many ways. Tonight, is that you goal?”

Thomas turns to Spirit.

Thomas: “The plan is to kick her ass.”

The crowd roars.

Thomas: “Regan Street is a bully. She is just like those who tormented Tyler Tucker in high school. She’s someone who when she doesn’t get what she wants, she throws a tantrum. She’s got her eye on the US Title. Good for her. But then to attack Tucker with a chair. To run from Stacy and I…shows your true colours. Regan…you may be the Hellcat. Former World Champion, but you crossed a line with me at Retribution. Tonight, I know you’re not running. But I’m not backing down. And tonight, Regan, I plan to make you regret your decisions. It’s that simple.”

Spirit: “Thank you Craig. Craig Thomas faces Regan Street later tonight, here on Breakdown!”

The scene then slowly starts to fade to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage we open up to see Kelcey Wallace backstage with Jonathan Knots, Knots seeming hurried.

Knots: “Kelcey. I need to get to a monitor. Kennie-“

Kelcey: “I know, Jon. I need a favour.”

Knots: “Look I-“

Kelcey “For some reason you get along with Blake and Bree. Namely Blake.”

Knots: “Okay. Yeah. I talk to them.”

Kelcey: “I want to speak to Blake. No trick. Just one on one. I want to apologize to him.”

Knots: “Wait…what-“

Kelcey: “Can you give him this?”

Kelcey hands Jonathan Knots an envelope.

Knots: “I guess….”

Kelcey: “Thanks…I appreciate it.”

Knots looks at Kelcey as Kelcey turns and walks off. Knots looks at the envelope and then turns to Kelcey before looking around before then heading off himself.

Winters: “An apology?”

Sharper: “I don’t know. I’m somewhat shocked…”

Kennedy Street vs. Stacy Kissinger

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

But it's not a few seconds before the beginning of "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten is heard. A small bit of fog rolls out onto the stage and the familiar figure of Stacy Kissinger steps out and through the fog. The stage lights come on so everyone can see her holding a microphone, wearing a yellow and dark slate blue colored robe around her, the colors of Adrenaline Rush.

She doesn't sing, but she does remove herself from the foggy stage and descends down the ramp as she looks around the arena a little bit, gently smiling.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Dallas, Texas, representing Adrenaline Rush, she is Stacy Kissinger!”

Stacy completes her walk to the ring and slides in. She then stands up and goes to the center of the ring and slowly spins herself around so she can view the entire arena. She then removes the robe from around her, pats a patch of each color that is on the robe before placing it on her corner's turnbuckle, revealing that she has on a short frilly black skirt and a red halter top that states "Feel The Rush", in yellow, on the front.

Stacy then hears a few boos from the crowd, obviously from her critics. She shrugs her shoulders and looks back to the stage, which is when one line of pyro goes off while her entrance music is coming to an end. While it does, Stacy turns her attention to the match that she's about to face as she goes to the corner of the ring where her Adrenaline Rush colored robe is. She places her special personalized microphone down in the corner. She then warms up for the match that she's about to take part in.

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger was impressive in the battle royal. Adrenaline Rush seems to be gaining in confidence by the night. A win tonight would be big for her.”

Winters: “And Kissinger is in many ways one win away from a huge boon. Kennedy Street is a big challenge, but Kissinger looked good at Retribution. A solid showing against Voigt. A win tonight would go miles.”

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the rope showing off her beautiful body in her wrestling gear that leaves little to the imagination…..

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Beverly Hills, California, she is the Sexy, Flawless Diva, Kennedy Street!”

Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk; she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers looking over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them, posing along the way, blowing kisses and high fiving fans. She continues to make her way down to the ring, giving the fans a show with her outpouring charisma and sexiness, arriving at the apron before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the flash photography as the crowd roars. Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner, extending her long muscular legs, doing her pre-match stretches, flipping back her long blonde hair and turns around to lean against the corner ready for the match to start and talking with the referee getting a smile out of him with her harmless flirtatious charm.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street started the Tactical Warfare match. The question with her now, PUNK HAZARD maybe in the rearview mirror, what about Ethan?”

Winters: “What about him? He wasn’t at Retribution. He’s not out with her tonight. He cares for her!’

Kennedy and Stacy look at one another as the bell sounds. Kennedy and Stacy circle the ring and lunge, grappling in the middle of the ring with a collar and elbow tie-up. Kissinger turns and wrenches the arm. Kennedy winces. She flips over and nips up and Kissinger shoves her back down. She goes for an elbow drop. She hits and goes for the pin.

Kennedy kicks out. She turns and starts to get up and Kissinger grabs her with a side headlock. She pulls back and Kennedy winces. She pulls her back and into the ropes. She fires her off. Kissinger bounces off the ropes and Kennedy shoulders her down. She runs into the ropes and bounces off, jumping over Kissinger. Kennedy bounces off other side and Kissinger leapfrogs over. Kennedy ducks and stops. Kissinger turns and Kennedy forearms her in the jaw and then again.

Sharper: “Kennedy fighting back. Kissinger with a strong start, but Kennedy is a fighter.”

Winters: “Former World Champion too. Something that’s in the rearview mirror of Kennedy and in Kissinger’s consideration too.”

Kennedy forearms her a third time and Kissinger falls to the ropes. Kennedy fires her across. Kissinger bounces off and Kennedy hits a flapjack. Kissinger hits the mat and rolls over. Kennedy goes for the pin.

Kissinger kicks out. She rolls over and Kennedy gets up and grabs her. She pulls her up and hits a vertical suplex. Kissinger gets up and runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits an elbow drop. She goes for another pin.

Kissinger kicks out. She turns and Kennedy grabs her and drags her up. She goes for a Russian leg sweep, but Kissinger elbows Kennedy in the ribs and then again and again. She grabs Kennedy and hits a snapmare before diving her elbow into the back of Kennedy. Kennedy falls over and rolls over. Kissinger gets up to her feet.

Sharper: “Hard elbow and that could be a turning point in this one.”

Winters: “Point of the elbow to the back. Never feels good.”

Kissinger grabs Kennedy and drags her up. She scoops her up and hits a ribbreaker. Kissinger runs into the ropes, bounces off and jumps up with a diving splash. She hooks the leg.

Kennedy kicks out. She turns and Kissinger grabs her and drags her up. She then wrenches the arm and chops Kennedy and then again before pushing her to the ropes and going to whip Kennedy in. Kennedy spins through and sends Kissinger in. Kissinger bounces off and Kennedy catches her on the rebound with a Samoan drop. Kissinger turns and slowly gets up. She turns and grabs Kissinger’s arm, wrenches it and hits the Apple of My Eye.

Sharper: “Caught her. Kissinger stunned. Kennedy needs to go for the pin.”

Winters: “Kissinger may not know where she is!”

Kennedy dives on top of Kissinger and hooks the leg.

Kissinger kicks out. Kissinger stirs and Kennedy gets up. She scoops Kissinger up and slams her down .She then goes to the corner. Kennedy climbs up to the top rope. She glances back and looks around before diving back for a moonsault. Kissinger gets her knees up. Kennedy grimaces in pain after impact. She starts to get up and Kissinger gets up and grabs Kennedy before hitting a bulldog. The crowd ohs. Kissinger hooks the leg.

Kennedy gets her shoulder up. Kissinger looks up and stirs. She starts to get up and waits for Kennedy to get up. She walks over and kicks her in the ribs. She goes for a vertical suplex. She hoists her up and Kennedy spins around. She then clubs Kissinger in the back before lifting Kissinger up and hits a spinning back suplex. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Back suplex drops Kissinger! Right on her neck.”

Winters: “She has to fight. This could get her here!”

Kennedy starts to get up. Kissinger stirs and slowly pulls herself up. She turns and blocks a kick from Kennedy and spins her around. She nails Kennedy with a shot and then another and another before whipping her into the ropes. She bounces off and Kissinger lowers her head just a moment too soon before Kennedy spins through and hits the Silver Spoon. Kissinger rolls over and stirs. Kissinger starts to get up and Kennedy nails her with the Touch of Class. The crowd ohs. Kissinger hits the mat. Kennedy drops down and hooks the leg.

The crowd roars.

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

Kennedy gets up and winces a bit as she turns and has her arm raised.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street despite Kissinger managing to take advantage of Kennedy’s condition after Tactical Warfare, she manages to hang on and fight through.”

Winters: “And if this was the Kennedy of old, we’d be seeing something similar to what Bree Lancaster is trying to pull.”

Sharper: “That’s true. But meanwhile, we shouldn’t take away that Stacy Kissinger has seemingly turned it up. A strong showing against Sienna Swann, the US Contendership battle royal and then tonight. If she turns the corner, she may finally be back where she wants.”

Winters: “But that night wasn’t quite tonight.”

Kennedy Street remains in the middle of the ring and looks around. She then walks over to the ropes and steps through and drops down to the floor. She then heads towards the back.

The scene opens up backstage. We see Selena Frost doing some stretches backstage as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “There you see the former World Champion, getting prepared for her match against Bree Lancaster that as of right now is still scheduled to take place-“

We then see Sienna Swann, holding the Women’s Championship, walk over to her. She looks at her as Selena stops and looks up at Sienna. The crowd boos Sienna a bit.

Sienna: “Look…I probably was a bit rough on you.”

Selena: “You think?”

Sienna: “Look…sorry….just tonight…make sure you send her a message.”

Selena: “Plan to do that.”

Sienna: “Good…now if you excuse me, I have to go and speak to the world.”

Sienna turns and heads off. Selena doesn’t get a chance to respond as she just looks on oddly as Sienna heads off camera.

Winters: “Guess the Women’s Champion may be joining us!”

Sharper: “Seems so…but that was odd…”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:

We see a still of Ethan von Aaron backstage.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Kennedy Street successful moments ago. We were wondering if Ethan von Aaron may be around. He is. He was backstage and he received a letter for Kennedy during the commercial break.”

We see an official walking down the hallway. He then stops and looks at Ethan as Ethan paces outside one of the doors backstage.

Official: “Oh Ethan…you are here.”

Ethan: “Yeah…why would I be?”

Official: “Well, are you still representing Kennedy Street?”

Ethan pauses for a moment.

Ethan: “Oh yeah…definitely!”

Official: “Oh okay. I have this to pass along. Right from D himself.”

The official hands a sealed envelope to Ethan, complete with the SCW symbol on the front.

Ethan: “Is this what I think it is?”

Official: “Not sure, but given what he was talking about before. It may be a new-“

Ethan: “Excellent. Thanks.”

The official walks off as Ethan looks at the envelope before turning and heading off in the opposite direction. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Backstage we see AJ Helms walking down one of the hallways backstage and Lexi Helms runs over to him and grabs him from behind.

Lexi: “AJ! AJ! You should be Shot of Adrenaline Tournament winner, but-“

AJ: “Get the hell off me!”

Lexi: “But AJ! We really should be the Tag Team Champions. I’m so much better than-“

Just then. Shaun Cruze walks forward and gets between her and AJ.

Lexi: “Oh…uh….this is awkward. Look, Shaun, can you and your mail order bride make some mail order babies as AJ and I become the sexiest tag team champions ever.”

Shaun: “Lexi…”

Lexi: “But AJ-“

AJ: “Shaun and I are going to focus on the Tag Titles….Lexi….leave us alone. We need to discuss strategy…..please….”

Lexi: “AJ…Alright….Anything for you…”

AJ and Shaun walk off as Lexi watches.

Lexi: “AJ….you will be mine….I’ll stay back. It’s for you….I’ll watch Sienna for now….someone almost as sexy as me!”

Lexi smiles as we cut away to the ringside area.

Winters: “Well the good news is that she’s nuts.”

Sharper: “How is that good news?”

Winters: “Fun in the sack?”

Sharper: “Are you serious?”

Winters: “Well if we can ever unpixelate that video…”

“Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Sienna Swann walks out with her head down as the crowd gives a mix reaction but admiring at the beauty. The SCW Women’s Championship is around her waist. Sienna then looks around as she walks out wearing a t-shirt bearing her stomach and a pair of tight jeans as she walks down to the ring.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann said she was going to join us.”

Winters: “An event that should not be missed.”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann’s attitude starting to get the best of her. Even still, she defended successfully the Women’s Championship against Autumn Valentine at Retribution.”

Sienna walks down to the ring, pointing at her Women’s Championship as she smirks and walks down to the ring. She extends her arms a bit as she gets to the ring. She then walks up the steel steps. She steps into the ring. She unhooks her Women’s Title and holds it over her head before turning, placing it over her shoulder. She goes to the corner and demands a microphone. Jason Phillips hands her the microphone. She leans over and kisses Phillips on the cheek, causing him to blush a bit as she gets up and turns back to the middle of the ring. She looks around. Her music fades out as the mixed reaction from the crowd becomes more pronounced. Sienna looks around as she then starts to speak with her South African accent.

Sienna: “I stand here still as the reigning Women’s Champion and having just defeated another former champion that felt that could match me.”

The crowd gives a much more negative response.

Sienna: “Now Autumn gave a valiant effort, but I just am a cut above the rest, both in terms of skill and in terms of looks.”

Sienna smiles as she looks up a bit, almost posing as the crowd gives a roar before some boos.

Sienna: “This is almost getting embarrassing. I hold SCW gold, something so many throughout the world should desire and yet, those who challenge me for it are unable to provide me with an appropriate challenge. I stand here as your undisputed Women’s Champion and a role model to so many. And no one is capable of challenging me.”

Sienna pauses for a moment.

Sienna: “Autumn Valentine…defeated. Bree Lancaster, can never challenge me after I defeated her and despite my desire for revenge, I will hold that over her until I can no longer. For once, Casey Holliday is useful…And I took out Kara Abheri…I have defeated every challenger.”

Sienna pauses again. She looks around.

Sienna: “As much as I could justify my standing by simply coming out here and showing the world my beauty…”

The crowd roars.

Sienna: “I feel like they should earn it, so have I exhausted every challenger left-“

We hear “Mercy on Me (Instrumental)” start to play. The crowd boos loudly as we then see TJ Johnson walk out from the back with Katie Steward, Gigi Steward and Maddy Steward. They step out on the stage and TJ Johnson has a microphone in his hand. Sienna look at the stage and looks around before turning back. The music fades out as TJ then starts to speak.

TJ: “Sienna…you may have successfully defended your title, but there is one thing to be clear-“

Sienna: “TJ…I’ve beaten Katie…at Rise to Greatness no less.”

TJ looks around.

TJ: “And she has never gotten her rematch! But that’s alright, because the charitable soul that Katie is, she is not out here looking to demand some title match. Not at all!”

Sienna looks at TJ and sighs.

Sienna: “Get to the point…”

TJ: “See, you need a challenge and frankly, the Stewards are synonymous with the Women’s title. We are the reason that title matters…so…one should challenge you for it.”

Sienna looks at TJ.

TJ: “You may have had your fluke against Katie, and let’s face it, you’d need to earn your chance to face her again. Gigi…she’s returning to form and we don’t want to embarrass you because that helps no one!”

TJ pauses again. The crowd boos.

TJ: “That’s why, Sienna, we offer you the opportunity for you to have a small opportunity at legitimizing your Women’s Championship reign…next week, on Breakdown, Sienna Swann faces off against….Maddy Steward!”

The crowd boos. Maddy Steward looks around and Gigi hypes her up a bit as TJ points to her. Sienna just shakes her head.

TJ: “What do you say Sienna? Do you have what it takes to face off against a Steward and defend your Women’s Championship….right here, on Breakdown, next week!”

Sienna smirks as the crowd boos a bit.

Sienna: “You know what…if you want to add to my record that badly, I’ll happily hand out some charity!”

The crowd roars as Sienna smirks. TJ smiles as Maddy looks around. Gigi immediately starts to calm her down as “Style” starts to play throughout the arena.

Sharper: “Maddy Steward getting a title shot. Sienna Swann agreeing! It’ll need to be agreed to by at least the booking committee!”

Winters: “Sienna’s up for it. She’s beaten Gigi. She’s beaten Katie. Why not Maddy?”

Sharper: “Or is something afoot here. Katie has been given shots by Gigi in the past…I don’t know about this….”

Winters: “It’s a fresh competitor for Sienna. I’m all for it!”

Sharper: “I’m sure you are!”

Sienna Swann looks on and smirks as Maddy continues to be calmed down by TJ Johnson and Gigi Steward. Katie Steward meanwhile keeps looking at Sienna as the scene cuts away.

Backstage we see Bree Lancaster backstage with Blake Mason. Scott Burnside can be seen on his phone, pacing as Mr. D stands with them.

Blake: “I think it’s clear. We made it clear. Retribution was the end-“

Bree: “So let’s just end this charade. I’m hurt. See this…I’m not wearing this for fun…”

Bree points to her wrestling mask.

Bree: “Even though I make it look good and classy, this is not a choice. This is a must because of what Selena did-“

Mr. D: “And you do know we have things called medical clearance and you are cleared provided you wear facial protection. And you forgot it...So.”

Mr. D then raises his hand, holding up a plastic facial guard.

Mr. D: “Here you go. You’re booked. The match has been promoted, even by you Bree. So I know something is up here. So as far as I’m concerned, the match is happening. But Blake, don’t worry…this will be the end.”

Mr. D turns and heads off.

Blake: “Do you want a lawsuit? Scott!”

Scott puts his hand up. Bree just looks at D stunned before turning and looking right at the camera and then to Blake.

Bree: “He….He wants to risk further injury to me. One of his top stars….probably just jealous…”

The scene then slowly fades out.

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of the Sisterhood vs. Honour Code for the SCW World Tag Team Championship.

Sharper: “Next, here on Breakdown, the Sisterhood will get their long awaited World Tag Team Championship opportunity. Sisterhood challenges Honour Code, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and we open up to see Kennedy Street and Ethan von Aaron. Kennedy Street has a towel around her shoulders as she’s now dressed as she walks out of the women’s locker room and greets Ethan outside.

Kennedy: “Alright, Ethan…thank you for coming here-“

Ethan: “Look Kennedy, I know what-“

Kennedy: “Let me speak. I’ve been thinking long and hard about our relationship and your managing of me and lately, you’ve been stepping out of bounds with your actions. This is not like old times. So Ethan, I have no choice but to end this working relationship. You no longer represent my best interests.“

The crowd cheers as Ethan just looks down. He takes a deep breath.

Ethan: “This is a big mistake. A massive mistake, Keenie-“

Kennedy: “It’s not Keenie anymore.”

Ethan: “Whatever…I know that’s what you really are. Not this façade. And I can get you everything you deserve without you changing who you are! But you want to throw this away…fine….Fine!”

Ethan turns and storms off. Kennedy just watches him leave and shakes her head. We cut back to ringside.

Sharper: “Finally! Ethan von Aaron is fired!”

Winters: “I can’t say that’s not necessarily a bad move. Ethan’s an acquired taste! But what about that package he got earlier?”

The Sisterhood (Angelica & Kayla Jones) vs. Honour Code (AJ Helms & Shaun Cruze)

SCW World Tag Team Championship

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

The lights in the arena go dim. The big screen flashes to life. An image of Angelica Jones followed by one of Kayla Jones and then the word “Sisterhood” appears on the tron. Pyro goes off and immediately following the pyro the lights come back on. Angelica Jones and her sister Kayla come running through the curtain and out onto the stage. The crowd comes alive with loud cheering for the pair of siblings who pump their fists, trying to get the crowd excited and into this! The crowd responds in kind with loud cheers.

Phillips: “The contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship. First, on their way to the ring, the challengers, both from Boston, Massachusetts, they are Kayla Jones and Angelica Jones, the Sisterhood!”

Angelica and Kayla look into each other’s eyes, nod, and then turn and begin to make their way with a determined stride towards the ring, taking time to slap the hands of a few fans along the way. Kayla slides into the ring from underneath the bottom rope and then she hops up onto the second turnbuckle, facing the crowd, and raising both arms up high in the air. Angelica, meanwhile, takes a sharp turn to the right and then ascends the steel steps, making her way up to the ring apron. She strolls slowly to the center before turning towards the audience. She looks out intensely at the crowd before posing with both arms raised high into the air. Angelica steps into the ring, joining her sister in the center as they await the start of the match.

Sharper: “The Sisterhood may have taken Lexi von Aaron too lightly at Retribution. Tonight, they don’t necessarily have to deal with her.”

Winters: “Not in the ring. But she could be involved. Even with AJ and Shaun telling her to stay away.”

Sharper: “That’s the issue there. Regardless, this is a match the Sisterhood has been waiting for for four months. They beat the then tag champions, Autumn Valentine and Gable Winchester in a non-title match. They were named unofficial number one contenders and have never gotten their straight up shot, until tonight.”

The lights flicker in the arena, before going off fully, a single spotlight shining on the entrance way as it's fills with smoke. The spotlight then starts to strobe, as the opening riff to ‘Rise’ by Sixx: Am hits over the PA system and two figures step into the light, through the smoke

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, making their way to the ring, their opponents, accompanied by Angyalka Cruze, they are the reigning and defending SCW World Tag Team Championship, they are The Impact Player Shaun Cruze, The New Jersey Legacy AJ Helms, they are Honour Code!”

The light comes back on, AJ and Shaun, holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts, nodding to each other before looking over their shoulders, Angyalka Cruze walks out behind them. With a smile at each other, AJ and Shaun make their way down the ramp to a thunderous ovation from the fans. Both of them take time to high five with the fans, before they start to run, sliding under the bottom rope and into the ring. Both of them then hop up onto a turnbuckle, and raise a fist in the air to another huge reaction. They then jump down, walking over to Angyalka who are stood in their corner. Shaun kisses Angyalka and AJ takes Shaun’s belt and hands both to the referee. The referee takes both and holds them over his head before handing it off. The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Honour Code, the proper team, ready to defend. Let’s hope for their sake Lexi stays out of their way.”

Winters: “We’ll see. Angelica and Kayla though, they’re going to be a tough test. They’re probably extra motivated after Retribution.”

The bell sounds. AJ exits as does Kayla. Angelica and Shaun circle the ring. They lunge at one another and Angelica ducks down and around Shaun.

Sharper: “I don’t believe it! Lexi von Aaron just cost Honour Code the World Tag Team Titles-“

Winters: “It was an accident! An accident!”

Sharper: “Angyalka Cruze is on the warpath. Cruze was battling Angelica and Angelica sensed Lexi. After taking her too lightly at Retribution, tonight, they used her to their advantage and now are World Tag Team Champions again!”

The scene cuts backstage to see Blake Mason outside of his locker room on the phone. The crowd boos.

Blake: “Okay…okay…just…thanks.”

Blake hangs up and sighs before turning and Jonathan Knots heads over to Blake.

Knots: “Hey, Blake….look, I don’t have much time, I have to go to the ring.”

Blake: “Jon. You may be helpful at a time like this. Can you believe that despite her injuries, Bree Lancaster is going to have to compete against Selena tonight?”

Knots: “It’s unconsciable. Horrible. But look, I need to pass this along…Kelcey wants to talk to you.”

Blake stops and looks a bit intrigued.

Blake: “Really?”

Knots: “Yeah. Asked me to ask you to meet her later. Gave you this.”

Knots hands Blake the piece of paper he got from Kelcey.

Blake: “What’s this?”

Knots: “She told me to give it to you. Look, I gotta go. Have to carry Sharper for the rest of the show.”

Knots starts to head off.

Blake: “Hey, wait, she say-“

Knots: “Gotta go!”

Knots heads off as Blake looks at the paper which he now unfolds. He smirks a bit.

Sharper: “What’s that look for?”

Winters: “I don’t know, but at least Knots has a secondary career as a UPS man available to him.”

Sharper: “Knots is going to join me in moment and-“

We cut to another part of the building. We see Dante McCaffery walking through the backstage area wearing a sportcoat, dress pants and a buttoned shirt. The crowd roars and then boos seeing him. He just slowly saunters down the hallway.

Sharper: “And it looks like we may be getting other answers next. Dante McCaffery on his way to the ring. Breakdown continues from Atlanta, after this!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Sharper: “Welcome back to Atlanta, the Phillips Arena, for Breakdown as the fallout from Retribution continues. Adam Sharper here at ringside now joined by Jonathan Knots and Jonathan, we have new Tag Team Champions!”

Knots: “Lexi or not, the Sisterhood won the titles. Looks like Cruze was the weak link!”

Sharper: “Oh stop it! And meanwhile, Bree Lancaster and Blake Mason are trying to get out of Bree’s match with Selena. Blake has an invitation from Kelcey it seems.”

Knots: “Don’t know what she wants, but it’s something-“

Sharper: “We have something backstage…”

We open up to see Mr. D backstage with AJ Helms, Angyalka Cruze and Shaun Cruze. Shaun is clearly upset, pacing.

Shaun: “Look…this…”

Mr. D: “I saw what happened. Already, I’ll say it now, rematch for the Tag Team Championship will happen at Broken Beliefs.”

AJ: “With all due respect, that’s not going to be enough, not with her around.”

Shaun: “I’m with AJ. This has to end. This is getting ridiculous.”

Mr. D: “I’ll inform her that she cannot interfere-“

AJ: “Not good enough. I want something…something to protect me…to protect us!”

Mr. D thinks for a moment.

Mr. D: “I’ll have SCW legal draw something up. A restraining order or something.”

AJ: “Thank you…Though I’d prefer if she was just outright fired.”

AJ storms off as Shaun Cruze and Angyalka Cruze head off as well. The crowd buzzes.

The opening to "Out of the Black" hits the PA system, drawing boos from the audience. A few moments pass, the PUNK HAZARD lighting and references are gone. Instead, just a white light flashes down on the stage. A few moments pass before Dante McCaffery saunters out from the back. He looks around and smirks a bit before starting to slowly walk down the rampway down to the ring. The Retribution logo comes up on the screen.

RETRIBUTION:

We see a still of Dante McCaffery and Alexis Quinne in the Tactical Warfare and we see Dante standing over Alexis Quinne with the retractable nightstick.

Sharper: “That’s the scene at Retribution. He attacked every member of his opponents before one by one taking out each PUNK HAZARD member.”

Knots: “Everyone stunned by it. We don’t know why. We may find out here.”

Sharper: “Dante McCaffery was the tactician for PUNK HAZARD. How long did he plan to do this?”

The Retribution logo comes back on the screen. We then open up with a live shot showing Dante McCaffery walking across the ring and over to the corner. He grabs a microphone from the ring apron before walking over to the middle of the ring. His music fades out as he stops and looks around. He listens to the boos. He just looks around, scanning the building as boos continue to come from the crowd.

Dante: “I have been in SCW now for a couple of years. During that time, there have been periods where I was seen as nothing more than a hanger on, a mere presence…simply a participant. And even for some time, ignored.”

Dante pauses for a moment and then looks up at the camera.

Dante: “I wonder how many people are ignoring me now. Ravyn Taylor certainly isn’t. Especially after I so casually embarrassed her a couple of months ago when she simply did not understand who she was meddling with.”

Dante pauses for a moment again as the crowd boos. We then get a shot backstage of Ravyn Taylor watching one of the monitors backstage. Dante then continues.

Dante: “And this chessmatch…just part of everything. A coming out party. Where people finally understand who to respect. Who to remember is in the arena? Who is capable of doing what?”

Dante pauses again as the crowd boos.

Knots: “What about PUNK HAZARD!”

Dante: “And now, I seem to feel that people are watching my moves a bit closer. I wonder what they’ll find. I hazard that they may simply find out that this quiet man from Montreal from a seemingly religious background is a bit more pragmatic about the world around him.”

Sharper: “Hazard…”

Dante looks around as the crowd boos some more.

Dante: “And with PUNK HAZARD….a pragmatic decision had to be made-“

We then see El Rudo walk out from the back. He just looks at the ring, shaking his head. The crowd roars a bit. Dante turns a bit and notices him. He backs up as El Rudo walks around the ring and hops onto the apron. He then enters into the ring.

Sharper: “El Rudo coming to the ring, a close friend of Alexis Quinne!”

Knots: “And one of the PUNK HAZARD members Dante hit with that night stick.”

Rudo walks over to Dante. Dante pushes him back.

Dante: “Don’t touch me.”

Rudo starts to snap at Dante.

Dante: “Rudo….it ran its course.”

Rudo’s eyes bug out.

Dante: “And you know it had to happen this way.”

Rudo then takes a swing, Dante blocks it and then turns and nails Rudo in the side of the throat with the microphone. The crowd ohs. Rudo falls to the mat onto his knees. Dante then takes off his sportcoat and throws it onto the ropes before running into the ropes, bouncing off and drilling Rudo with the Rapture to the back of the head. Rudo just collapses to the mat. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Running knee to the back of Rudo’s head! Dante just drilling him.”

Knots: “I think the message is clear again.”

Dante then slowly gets up. He looks at Rudo before stepping past him. He grabs the sportcoat and steps through the ropes and down to the floor. He throws it over his shoulder. He then starts to slowly walk to the back. His music doesn’t play. The camera follows Dante as he walks up the rampway and to the stage. He does not both looking back as he just walks through the curtain and goes backstage. The scene then fades to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:

Breakdown returns and we see a still of Dante McCaffery stepping out of the building.

Sharper: “At Retribution, we heard that Dante McCaffery left immediately following his actions. Tonight, he’s done the same.”

Knots: “And we have it on film tonight.”

We see Dante walking over towards a running vehicle. He steps into the backseat. We then notice a brunette, Mika Kozlov, and see another female in the driver’s seat. The cameraman tries to move around to get a clearer shot, but is unable to as the car starts to drive off. The crowd boos watching this as the car continues to drive off. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

“Like a Nightmare” by Never Say Die plays. We then open up to see the Retribution logo come back up on the screen before seeing a still of Konrad Raab spearing Torsten Voigt through the barricade.

Sharper: “At Retribution, Konrad Raab and Torsten Voigt had a war of their own. It’s a trend. But we’re being told, next week, here on Breakdown, Raab and Voigt will battle yet again.”

Knots: “They attacked each other backstage too. Well, they can fight wherever. Falls Count Anywhere, next week, on Breakdown, live from Chicago!”

Sharper: “And we have Jessica Winters standing by with Torsten Voigt for his comments.”

The Retribution logo comes off the screen. We then open up backstage to see Eric Teufel and Torsten Voigt standing by with Jessica Winters. The crowd boos.

Jessica: “Thank you Adam. Eric, Torsten, Retribution was a fight that saw you, Torsten, and Konrad Raab battle all around ringside, driven through a barricade and then continue the fight backstage. You have another opportunity to finish this with Falls Count Anywhere next week.”

Teufel: “Just seems to me that SCW wants to make sure Konrad Raab gets as much time in the sun, exposing his anger, before Voigt just rips him in two and sends him back to his native Germany a truly broken man. The fact of the matter is that this will just turn into what it should be, a showcase for the brutality and efficiency Torsten is capable of. He doesn’t need the hardcore environment. Falls Count Anywhere, a crutch for a weak man. He will however fight anywhere and he will simply use his abilities to cut Raab down and in the process, Adrenaline Rush, who showed their true colours two weeks ago when Kissinger needs to use a low blow just for any chance against my monster, they can get involved and they will just be added to the pile of bodies left in Torsten wake….of course, we’ll just savour it more if it’s them as we destroy what’s left of them if they get involved.”

Teufel then smiles.

Teufel: “You can’t stop this Craig, Tyler, Stacy…you can only watch, be amazed, and know at some point, you will have to realize that he will stand over you victorious…with me standing with him!”

Voigt just continues to look at the camera, glaring. The crowd boos as Jessica turns to Voigt before turning to the camera. Voigt then grabs the microphone.

Voigt: “Raab….round two comes…no mercy this time. And no more second chances.”

Jessica: “Thank you Torsten, Eric…now to Spirit Dansby who is with Konrad Raab.”

The scene changes to see Spirit Dansby standing with Konrad Raab in another part of the backstage area.

Spirit: “Thank you Jessica. I am here with Konrad Raab and Konrad, we just heard from Voigt. He says no second chances, no mercy. What do you say in return?”

Raab looks up at the camera.

Raab: “He wants a fight. He may get one. I may not be happy that I let my temper get the best of me, but with someone like Torsten Voigt who so poorly represents my homeland, I almost feel he deserves it, never mind what his manager says. But he’s right. There will be no second chances. It’s Falls Count Anywhere. We can fight where we want. No one can stop us and we will make sure that this ends. So Torsten, I just hope your manager does not get too sad when I bring you a war you may not be ready with. My brother, he’s known for this style. I have the best mentor I could have and by next week, we’ll have another war and one where you will not be pleased with the result.”

Spirit: “Thank you Konrad. Back to ringside.”

Konrad nods and heads off as we cut back to the ring.

Tommy Valentine & Dawn Lohan vs. Kara Abheri & Shane Lawson

Television Championship Eliminator

The sound of a tiger roaring is heard in the darkened arena. Light blue and sea green spotlights light up the darkness and Kara Abheri emerges from behind the curtain, smile and arms wide. She's in her trademark Princess Jasmine inspired Harem girl attire. The Tiny Tussler is back home in front of the crowd. Shane Lawson walks out with her. Kara turns and runs over and holds his arm up playfully as Shane shakes his head, chuckling a bit. The raven haired beauty bounces down the ramp, slapping hands and hugging fans who call out to her. Shane Lawson follows her down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a twenty minute time limit and is your Television Title Eliminator. The winning team will determine the order of their opportunities following the show. First, on their way to the ring, from Penrith, New South Wales, Australia, she is the Paragon of Wrestling, Kara Abheri! And her partner, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is Shane Lawson!”

Kara circles the ring, greeting as many fans as she can before bouncing up onto the apron. Shane just jumps to the apron and enters the ring. He goes to one turnbuckle and climbs up, looking around. Kara enters through the bottom and middle ropes and then ascends the turnbuckles, waving to the crowd. As the cheers get louder, Kara backflips off the turnbuckle and lands a few feet from centre-ring. Lawson hops down and the two walk around the ring.

Sharper: “Shane Lawson, hopefully in better condition. A bit battered and bruised thanks to Regan.”

Knots: “Kara may be too, but she gave Regan a fight.”

Sharper: “Regan will be in action later against Craig Thomas. But tonight, Kara and Shane get to fight together against another team, Tommy Valentine and Dawn Lohan. TV title shot on the line.”

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

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

The lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverberates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start cheering. The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp in a set of shades with a custom logo on the lens, as he looks out into the audience that are now cheering loudly. Dawn Lohan stands with him and the two look out at the crowd. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands, fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he spins one hundred and eighty degrees and resumes walking down to the ring as Dawn Lohan just smiles and continues to head with him.

Phillips: “And their opponents, first, from Raleigh, North Carolina, he is Tommy Valentine and his partner, from San Diego, California, Dawn Lohan!”

Tommy Valentine high-fives as many fans as possible as he heads to the ring. Dawn just focues on the ring. Tommy then turns and slides into the ring as Dawn grabs the bottom rope and pulls herself in. She slowly gets up and walks to the middle of the ring. Tommy goes to the corner and climbs up before taking off his sunglasses. He hands them off and drops down.

Knots: “We just have couples everywhere!”

Sharper: “Tag division has many of them. This is a bit different. Both teams looking to make a good go in the Tag Team division. Winners get TV Title shots. But they decide who goes first. And it’s possible, depending on the winner next week, teammates could fight each other for the title.”

The bell sounds. Shane Lawson stays in the ring. Tommy looks at him too and stays in the ring. Dawn and Kara exit. The two circle the ring. The crowd roars as they lunge and lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up on the floor. They push back on one another and Tommy turns into a side headlock. He holds on and turns through and into a hammerlock. He holds on and Lawson bends over before looking up. He grabs the head and Tommy pushes him into the ropes. The referee calls for the break.

Tommy backs up and Shane turns. He shakes out his arm. The two watch one another before locking up again in the middle of the ring. Tommy this time ducks down and around Lawson. He forearms him in the back. He shoves Shane forward and into the ropes. Tommy hits a hip toss. Lawson hits the mat. Tommy goes for an elbow drop. Shane moves out of the way. Both get up and Shane goes for a clothesline. Tommy ducks and both turn around before Tommy hits a headlock takedown.

Lawson gets his shoulder up and rolls to his stomach. He starts to get his feet under him.

Sharper: “And Tommy Valentine. The former World Champion. Dawn and Tommy both former World Champions and Tag Team Champions, albeit with different partners. Tommy’s got Lawson down.”

Knots: “Lawson fighting, but again, is he still hurting from a few weeks ago or not. If he is, he may not be able to put up much of a fight.”

Sharper: “Tommy and Dawn can’t be at one hundred percent either. Tactical Warfare certainly wearing both down.”

Lawson slowly pulls himself up with Tommy holding on. Tommy then is pulled back to the ropes. Lawson fires him off. Tommy bounces off and Lawson hits a back elbow. He winces and shakes out the arm. Tommy gets up and Lawson runs over and clotheslines him down. He turns and tags in Kara. Kara climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. Tommy gets up and Kara hits a diving crossbody into a pin.

Tommy kicks out. Kara rolls over and gets up. Tommy gets up and Kara nails her with a forearm and then another. She kicks him in the ribs and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Tommy suddenly lifts her up and hits a powerslam. Tommy rolls off turns before tagging in Dawn. Dawn enters as the crowd roars. Kara starts to get up and Dawn runs over and hits a running dropkick to the side of Kara’s head.

Sharper: “Dawn in and a hard dropkick to the face of Kara!”

Knots: “Nice entrance. Hi Kara. I just sent your head into the twelfth row!”

Kara stirs and Dawn grabs her and hits a vertical suplex. She then goes for the pin.

Dawn kicks out. Kara exits the ring.

Sharper: “Hard clothesline. Only a two. Dawn showing some resiliency.”

Knots: “And with all of the punishment she took at Retribution, that may have felt like a car wreck. Every move tonight could feel it and if they go for the TV Title and are successful.”

Sharper: “We’ve mentioned the TV Title is an endurance title, so it could really test any four of these individuals should they be successful.”

Dawn stirs and Lawson scoops her up and slams her down. Dawn winces and starts to get up. Lawson kicks her in the ribs. Dawn falls back to the corner. Lawson grabs her and whips her across. Dawn hits the corner. Lawson runs after and Dawn gets her boots up. Lawson staggers out and Dawn runs over and dropkicks him in the knees. He hits hard before Dawn wrenches his arm and places her leg on the back of his head and hits a rocker dropper. Lawson rolls over. Dawn goes for the pin.

The crowd ohs as Lawson hits the mat hard and Tommy rolls through with a jackknife pin.

Lawson gets his shoulder up again. Tommy rolls off. Dawn exits as Kara starts to consider entry.

Sharper: “Some good double-teams by both teams so far. Their chemistry comes from their relationship entirely.”

Knots: “And we’ve seen how that could be rocky with Gable Winchester and Autumn Valentine. But Dawn and Tommy, and Kara and Lawson are doing well here.”

Sharper: “This match not just about the TV title and an opportunity there. Tag Team Championship certainly something on both teams’ mind.”

Kara exits as Tommy grabs Lawson. He nails him with a chop. The crowd woos. He then kicks him in the ribs and hits a Petal of Woe. The crowd ohs. Tommy turns and hooks the leg.

Lawson gets his shoulder up. Tommy turns and gets up. He grabs Lawson and pulls him up before kicking him in the ribs. He wrenches the arm and whips him into the ropes. Lawson however spins through and sends Tommy in and Lawson hits the Winds of Change on the rebound. The crowd applauds. Tommy slowly gets up and Lawson then scoops him up and hits a ribbreaker. He turns and tags in Kara. The crowd roars as Kara slingshots into the ring and hits a springboard moonsault into a knee drop to Tommy. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Moonsault knee drop to the ribs of Tommy. With the added effect of the springboard!”

Knots: “Cover! She’s covering him!”

Dawn pulls her off as Tommy gets the kick out. Lawson goes to head over, but is stopped as Dawn backs up. Kara starts to gets up and Tommy starts to get up. He holds his ribs a bit and Kara nails her with a forearm and then another. She pushes him into the ropes and goes to whip him across. Tommy spins through and sends Kara in.

The crowd roars.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, Kara Abheri & Shane Lawson!”

The crowd cheers as Kara rolls off. Tommy looks up. He then leans back as Shane slowly gets up on the floor. He slides in and goes over to Kara who gets up and jumps into his arms. The referee raises their arms. Dawn looks in and smacks the ring apron in frustration.

Sharper: “And Kara Abheri and Shane Lawson get the opportunities! They will challenge for the TV Title in the coming weeks!”

Knots: “Just rolled up Tommy and kept him down.”

Sharper: “All about leverage and Kara, the Tiny Tussler, didn’t let go. She got it and Tommy is stunned. Not the auspicious first night removed from PUNK HAZARD’s demise, but for Kara and Shane, moving on from Regan Street, a hell of a rebound!”

Dawn starts to walk around. Tommy rolls to the floor. He joins Dawn as they start to head to the back. Kara and Shane continue to celebrate in the ring as the crowd cheers them.

The scene opens up backstage to the outside of a locker room door. We see Blake Mason by the door.

Blake: “Look…relax. What’s going to happen?”

Bree: “Just remember, we have a plan here.”

Blake: “What’s the worst that she will do? We’ve already killed her spirit. And worst case, I’ll use it to make sure we take Selena out.”

Bree: “Good. Because this is over. Remember…we’re done with this. This little match…we’re making sure Selena gets embarrassed at the end. Kelcey already is eating enough crow…”

Blake smirks.

Blake: “Yeah-“

Blake turns and steps out. He notices the camera.

Blake: “Hey! Creep! Get the hell out of here!”

The cameraman falls over as Blake shoves him back.

Bree: “Blake-“

Blake: “Don’t worry about it…they’re too hapless to stop us.”

The door closes as Blake steps past the camera.

Sharper: “What are they talking about?”

Knots: “Probably some way to make sure Bree doesn’t get further injured!”

Sharper: “They want to embarrass Selena! And Blake is going to see Kelcey?! Is Bree’s little tantrum a ploy?”

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Kelcey Wallace walking down one of the hallways backstage. She just looks down and takes a deep breath as she has a rather serious, yet disappointed look on her face. She continues down the hallway before we see Lexy Chapel peek out a doorway. She then heads down the hallway.

Lexy: “Hey! Kelcey! Psst!”

Kelcey stops and looks back, a bit annoyed. Lexy heads over to her.

Kelcey: “What do you want?”

Lexy: “Wait…uh…first…not with Trin-“

Kelcey: “We’re not exactly on speaking terms.”

Lexy: “Oh, so like me. Well, I just saw you…and well….where ya goin?”

Kelcey: “Why do you care?”

Lexy: “Inquiring minds!”

Kelcey sighs.

Kelcey: “I’m going to go apologize to Blake.”

Lexy: “Wait…what?”

Kelcey: “You heard me…now if you please, leave me alone.”

Kelcey then turns and walks off as Lexy watches her leave a bit surprised. We then cut to ringside.

Knots: “Apologize?”

Sharper: “That was not what I expected. Kelcey Wallace really taking the high road…after everything….”

Knots: “Blake broke her! It’s great! Perfect Nevermore last year…now Blake Mason finished it off!”

The Breakdown logo then comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Jake Starr before showing a shot of Katie Steward and then showing both.

Sharper: “Meanwhile, for the competitors in the Tactical Warfare match, it’s not been a good follow-up as all of them have had some issues resulting from it or relationships tested, but Jake Starr may be able to curb that. Next week, he’ll be in action. He’ll face off against Katie Steward.”

Knots: “Katie Steward. You think SCW is making sure Maddy actually face Sienna then?”

Sharper: “Maybe just that. To make sure there’s no bait and switch. But either way, Katie and Jake, both two individuals who are capable of competing at a high level. We’ll see what they do against each other next week on Breakdown!”

Craig Thomas vs. Regan Street

“Adrenaline” by Shinedown begins blasting through the arena as blue and yellow lights pulse rapidly in an alternating fashion on the stage. As the opening guitar riffs of the song come to an end, blue and yellow pyro goes off on stage. A few moments pass before Craig Thomas walks out from the back with Stacy Kissinger. Kissinger just looks around as she starts to head t othe ring. Thomas follows her.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Stacy Kissinger and representing Adrenaline Rush, he is from Denver, Colorado, Craig Thomas!”

Thomas walks to the ring, looking around as Kissinger heads to the ring and hops onto the apron. She steps in and Thomas walks over to the steel steps. He enters the ring. He then goes over over to the middle of the ring. Stacy and him kiss before he points up to the sky. Kisisnger poses too. The crowd roars a bit as the music fades out. Kissinger then drops to the floor.

Sharper: “No Tyler Tucker, but Craig Thomas is going to take it upon himself to face Regan Street, who attacked Tucker at Retribution.”

Knots: “Yeah, Tucker we’ve been told has been told to stay backstage by Thomas, his protector, but also Kissinger, is out here and she’s challenged Regan too.”

Sharper: “Obviously they want to protect Tucker if only because Regan may try to injure him. She’s been angling for a US Title match against Amy Chastaine and clearly no tactic is beneath her.”

The arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. The beautiful and confident Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela behind her. She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with boos and cat calls no pun intended. Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, rolls her eyes and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela.

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street, from Santa Monica, California, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”

Regan starts to jaw jack to the crowd, sometimes yelling obscenities or simply ignoring them, staying fully focused inside the ring and her opponent as Mikaela laughs. Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring. She then shakes her head and hops down. Mikaela looks at her before Regan Street walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Regan jumping down…”

Knots: “Well she’s not scared. Too angry for that.”

Kissinger watches her, not moving as Regan snaps at her to get back. Kissinger steps forward before the official gets down to the floor to keep the two away. Regan smirks before backing up and grabbing a microphone from the timekeeper. She then turns and walks along the ringside area before stopping and turning to the ring.

Regan: “Hold your horses Stacy. And Craig….just wait a minute. I’ll beat your ass in a few seconds.”

Thomas just chuckles as he walks around the ring.

Regan: “Now, I know that you told Tyler, your little buddy to stay away from ringside, fearing what the big, bad Hellcat may do to him and frankly, that’s probably smart as I planned to break his neck the next chance I get just because I can….but while you may try to prevent that happening from the future in this match, I have other plans.”

We then see Mikaela looking under the ring. She grabs a steel chair from under the ring. Kissinger starts to walk around the ring. Thomas watches her too.

Regan: “See, I don’t care about you, or you, Stacy, or Tyler, outside of the fact that he has a shot that I should have. I care about Amy Chastaine. And I even offered to help her out. I’d be her Tag Team partner as she looks to win every title. Become a Supreme Champion. Apparently she thought that was a joke, but what’s not a joke is I want her out here now so she knows exactly what awaits her. Keep Tyler in the back, I want Amy…”

Mikaela then unfolds the chair and places it right at the end of the entrance way. She backs away.

Regan: “But more importantly, I’m not moving from this spot until she comes out here to watch what I do to you, Craig.”

The crowd boos. Craig just throws his arms up and walks over. The official stops him. Craig snaps at the official as does Kissinger.

Regan: “Consider this what happens when you face a true main eventer.”

The crowd boos as Regan just steps back. Mikaela walks over to her.

Sharper: “She’s not going to get into the ring until Amy Chastaine is out here to watch. Give me a break. Her ego is getting out of control.”

Knots: “Wants to make sure the US Champion knows what awaits her whenever she finally is given her deserved opportunity!”

Sharper: “Well we’re going to take a break. We hope to have a match when we return, but this is getting a bit ridiculous!”

Craig starts to talk to the official as does Kissinger as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we hear “Relentless” by New Year’s Day in the background. Amy Chastaine is now at ringside, holding the SCW United States Championship over her shoulder. The crowd cheers a bit. Mikaela keeps pointing to the chair she pulled out, but Amy ignores it, heading to the Adrenaline Rush corner as Craig looks around.

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine now at ringside. Obviously coming out to move this along. She’s has plenty on her plate though. Adrenaline Championship match next week as she is the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament winner.”

Knots: “And Tucker at another point. Plus, Regan breathing down her neck!”

Sharper: “Look out! Here comes Regan!”

Regan enters the ring and she runs at Thomas, but Thomas blocks the clothesline before kicking her in the ribs. The referee turns, calling for the bell. He turns and throws Regan into the corner. He then shoulders her in the ribs as the crowd cheers. He shoulders her again and again before stepping out and lifting Regan up and just dumping overhead with a back drop. Regan rolls over and starts to get up and staggers over to the corner and Thomas walks after Regan. Regan throws a hard right, but Thomas blocks it. He then moves her to the ropes and fires her off. She bounces off and Thomas goes for a clothesline. Regan ducks and bounces off the other side. She jumps up and nails Thomas with a spinning heel kick. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Regan caught Thomas right under the jaw. Spinning heel kick got him.”

Knots: “And Regan getting distance. I don’t think she figured Thomas was going to just go at her.”

Thomas stirs and gets up and Regan jumps up and hits a dropkick. Thomas hits the mat. He gets up and Regan jumps up and hits another dropkick. Thomas hits the mat. He starts to get up and Regan turns and nails Thomas with a hard forearm then rearing back and forearming him again and again and again from her knees. Thomas falls back and rolls to the ropes. Regan steps over and Kissinger throws a shot at Regan. Regan jukes back. She then snaps at Kissinger before backing up and telling her to get into the ring. Amy then tells her to stay back, but Kissinger ignores her and Regan goes for a right hand. Kissinger falls back. The crowd roars. Regan turns and Thomas gets up and Regan nails him with a hard right and Thomas staggers back to the corner. Regan grabs him and goes to whip Thomas across, but Thomas stops and pulls her in and lifts her up and hits a flapjack. The crowd ohs and Regan pops up and falls over to the ropes. She nearly falls out, but falls back in as Thomas walks over to her. Stacy yells at Thomas to keep on Regan. Regan starts to get up, smirking a bit.

Sharper: “Regan staggering back. A smirk on her face. Stacy wants Thomas to go at her and Thomas continuing to go for Regan.”

Knots: “This is turning into a fight. Regan loves fights. Amy meanwhile just watching and this is your future! Ha! That’s what you get as US Champion!”

Regan steps forward and Thomas shoulders her back. He then grabs her and pulls her out, scooping her up and slamming her down. Regan starts to get up and Thomas kicks her in the ribs. He then pulls her in and scoops her up and hits a sidewalk slam. He pulls back on the legs.

Regan kicks out. She turns and Thomas gets up. He turns around and grabs Regan and Regan reaches up and rakes his eyes. Thomas staggers back and Regan runs over and nails him with a running dropkick. Thomas hits the mat. He starts to get up and Regan pulls him back by the head and hits a neckbreaker. Regan then turns and runs across the ring. She turns and Kissinger yells at Thomas to get up, but Regan then jumps up and hits an elbow drop to the back of Thomas. Thomas winces. He turns and Regan hooks the leg.

Thomas kicks out. Both get up and Regan hits a side Russian leg sweep. She then turns and exits to the apron. She starts to climb up to the top rope. Kissinger walks around before hopping up onto the apron, but Regan jumps down and swings. Kissinger backs up and Regan just shakes her head as Mikaela snaps at her. The referee drops down and goes to get the two of them apart. Kissinger backs away and Thomas grabs Regan, but Regan hits a low blow. Thomas grimaces and falls over.

Sharper: “Oh come on! This is just too much. Kissinger at ringside. Mikaela egging her on. They both need to be out of here. And I don’t know why Regan needed Amy out here, except just to waste her time.”

Knots: “She’s making a point. She wants the U S Champion to understand her future!”

Sharper: “What’s that? Regan is pissed off and Mikaela Street is going to try and piss her off?!”

Knots: “That’s a hell of a strategy if you ask me!”

Thomas grimaces and tries to fight through it, as Regan then runs up behind him and hits a running bulldog. Thomas rolls over. Regan goes for the pin as the referee turns around. Amy points out Regan low blowed Thomas, but the official focuses on the count.

Thomas gets his shoulder up. Regan looks up and turns before getting up and stomping Thomas in the face. Regan then hits a leg drop before getting up and hitting a second leg drop before hitting a third. She turns and stomps him in the face again for good measure before exiting to the apron. She then looks at Amy as Amy looks back. Kissinger walks around the ring as Regan gets to the top rope. Thomas stirs a bit and Regan looks at him before diving off for a Price Tag elbow drop, but Thomas rolls out of the way. Regan hits the mat. She rolls over and starts to get up. Thomas hoists her up from behind and quickly hits the Blue Thunder Bomb. The crowd ohs. Thomas remains down for the pin.

Sharper: “Spins her out! Plants her! The cover!”

Regan rolls her shoulder up and rolls over.

Sharper: “And Craig Thomas, despite everything going on, nearly pinned Regan Street!”

Knots: “That’s something Regan sure as hell wouldn’t want Amy to see!”

Thomas rolls over. Regan stirs and Thomas clubs her hard in the back. He then pulls her in. The crowd roars. He then gutwrenches her up and turns away from the ropes. Mikaela however reaches up and pulls on Regan’s leg. Regan slides back. Thomas turns and Regan lands on the apron. Thomas turns and Regan grabs him and hits a guillotine drop. Regan then enters the ring. Thomas turns around as Kissinger yells at the official. Regan grabs Thomas and hits the Catnap. The crowd roars. Kissinger however enters the ring, kicking away from Amy as she tries to stop her and Kissinger gets up and Regan turns only for Kissinger to clothesline her down. The crowd roars. Regan hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. Kissinger kicks at her as the bell sounds.

Sharper: “Kissinger had enough.”

Knots: “Didn’t just have enough. She snapped. Going right after Regan Street!”

Sharper: “And look at Regan!”

Regan backing up. She just smirks before throwing her arms up.

Regan: “Want to fight, fine!”

Regan turns and grabs the ringbell and pulls it away. She starts to move to the ring. Mikaela however stops her. Kissinger steps onto the middle rope and snaps at Regan.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via disqualification, Regan Street!”

The crowd boos. Regan just keeps jawing at Kissinger as Kissinger yells back.

Sharper: “Kissinger’s frustrations coming out here. She wants Regan. Regan won’t step down from a fight.”

Knots: “And lost in all this is Amy Chastaine who is watching all of this unfold. Regan’s lost it and Amy has to deal with that at some point if she wants this to go away and even then it won’t.”

Sharper: “And what do you think Tyler Tucker is thinking in all of this.”

Chastaine hops onto the apron and looks on as Regan keeps getting held back by Mikaela. Regan smirks, pacing while holding the ring bell. Kissinger follows her in the ring along the ropes as Thomas stirs. The crowd continues to roar as we then cut away.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman walking around backstage. Wiseman can be seen looking around, scanning the area as Vixen just smiles and walks up smugly to Mr. D and Christina Matsui as they discuss something backstage.

Cain: “Sounds like you have some fun thinking to do?”

Mr. D: “Vixen….not in the mood.”

Cain: “That’s never bothered me in the past….right….”

Mr. D just looks at Vixen.

Wiseman: “Seems like Amy Chastaine is just racking up the rivals. Almost like someone senses her weaknesses.”

Mr. D: “I’m not going to be gifting either of you a US Championship shot.”

Cain laughs.

Cain: “Please….I have something better and shinier right now, although we all know Amy is a fraud. Though when Christy Matthews wins next week, we’ll be the first to congratulate that former World Champion…”

Mr. D: “Why are you here?”

Cain: “Can’t I just rub in your face that I’m the World Champion.”

Mr. D turns to Christina.

Wiseman: “You should however make sure you keep an eye on us. You never know when we may just choose to make your life difficult when you just can’t understand that you’re doing things wrong.”

Mr. D glances back.

Cain: “Oh boyo…shouldn’t threaten him that way…he may get all vengeful just like sending poor Syren and Gable to take me out and failing.”

Cain smirks and turns and walks off. The crowd boos as Wiseman hangs around a moment before following after Cain and the scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Spirit Dansby walking down the hallway. We then see Christy Matthews walk out of one of the locker rooms with her gear in hand, looking ready to leave. She starts to step forward and Spirit stops her.

Spirit: “Christy! I was just coming over to speak to you…you weren’t out earlier when Dante was speaking about why he turned on PUNK HAZARD. Reports say you were upset-“

Christy turns to Spirit and looks at her.

Christy: “Nothing more has to be said. And anything that should be said, it’s not to you or to whatever mindless peons are watching this…”

The crowd boos.

Christy: “I am the SCW Adrenaline Champion and next week I have SCW US Champion facing me next week. Oh yeah, and Shot of Adrenaline Tournament winner. And she’s probably going to be a bit annoyed that she had to jump through that extra hoop knowing full well, she’s jumping face first into a brick wall. So just like I’m moving on from Retribution because well…that’s what you do when you’re a professional, Amy should do the same with the loooooong line of people who want to kick her ass. Excuse me.”

Christy Matthews pushes past Spirit and heads down the hallway. The camera turns and shoots Christy as she continues down the hallway. We then cut away.

The scene opens up in another area of the building. We see Kelcey Wallace leaning against a wall, dressed in a blouse and jeans. She looks up, looking around before looking at her watch. She then leans back again as the crowd cheers seeing her.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace meanwhile waiting for Blake Mason.”

Knots: “Just waiting. Going to apologize. This is great.”

Sharper: “You didn’t know.”

Knots: “Hey. I don’t read other people’s notes. I’m an honourable man!”

Sharper: “In any case, Kelcey has been there for a bit, we’re told. She’s looking at her watch, so she seems to have written a specific time. We know Blake was going to go and see her.”

Kelcey keeps looking up before we then see Blake Mason walking down the hallway by himself. He starts to head over towards Kelcey before clapping his hands. He then smirks as Kelcey turns and looks at Blake, clearly not impressed.

Blake: “This better be good Kelcey and you better not be messing with me…”

Kelcey: “I was dead serious Blake…thank you for coming.”

Kelcey steps forward. Blake walks over to her.

Blake: “So?”

Kelcey: “You got your end. And despite whatever I think about you, I am happy you have found someone….perfect…for you in Bree. You two deserve one another.”

Blake: “That’s just repeating the obvious. You had your chance. You then downgraded. I upgraded and frankly….you’re just not perfect.”

Blake shrugs and the crowd boos. Kelcey nods.

Kelcey: “And that’s what I wanted to apologize to you about. I wasn’t myself for a while. Haven’t been for years and I did miss what was in front of my face. For all of that…I’m sorry, Blake.”

Kelcey steps forward. Blake just smiles. The crowd boos

Kelcey: “I’m sorry about a lot.”

Kelcey looks down. She takes a deep breath.

Blake: “I’ll alright. Very big of you.”

Kelcey: “I think this should be a new start…So Blake…”

Kelcey extends her arm.

Kelcey: “You beat me. And you were right…”

Blake just smirks and looks down.

Blake: “Don’t beat yourself up too much. Just if you listened to me a lot more over the years, you’ve have saved yourself this embarrassment.”

Blake then shakes Kelcey’s hand and just then, the door in the hallway opens. Blake turns and Kelcey steps into the room and pulls her in. Blake staggers forward and falls over. Kelcey then turns to Blake. The camera now peers over her shoulder as Blake looks around, suddenly looking stunned and much more concerned.

Kelcey: “I’m also sorry for lying to your face right now, but what I am sorry for…is that I wasn’t able to make sure you got everything you deserved and not just the ass-kicking Selena and I gave you and Bree. You deserve much more.”

We then see Shawn Mason and Donovan Kayl standing over Blake. We also see Shaun Cruze. All three have taped fists.

Kelcey: “I’m sorry to them that I couldn’t do it, but with this being the end, I’ll let them finish it.”

Blake then starts to get up and Shawn Mason immediately nails him with a hard right. The crowd cheers. Kelcey then pulls the door close. We hear Blake yell out at Kelcey before we hear him grunting in pain through the door. The cameraman tries to open the door, but its locked as the cameraman turns and shows Kelcey Wallace just walking off. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Blake Mason lured into a trap by Kelcey Wallace! She just got the last laugh!”

Knots: “Get someone back there! Come on! Hurry! Unlock the door damn it!”

Sharper: “Shawn Mason, Donovan Kayl, Shaun Cruze, people Blake has either upset or personally insulted….they’ve doing God knows what to him! Kelcey made sure karma was done!”

Knots: “Where’s Bree?! Make sure she’s safe! Oh God!”

The crowd continues to cheer as the camera just focuses on Kelcey walking off and the scene fades to black.

BREAKDOWN – Moments Ago

We see a still of Kelcey extending her arm.

Sharper: “Moments ago on Breakdown, Kelcey Wallace laid a trap for Blake Mason!”

Kelcey extends her arm.

Kelcey: “You beat me. And you were right…”

Blake just smirks and looks down.

Blake: “Don’t beat yourself up too much. Just if you listened to me a lot more over the years, you’ve have saved yourself this embarrassment.”

Kelcey: “I’m also sorry for lying to your face right now, but what I am sorry for…is that I wasn’t able to make sure you got everything you deserved and not just the ass-kicking Selena and I gave you and Bree. You deserve much more.”

We then see Shawn Mason and Donovan Kayl standing over Blake. We also see Shaun Cruze. All three have taped fists.

Kelcey: “I’m sorry to them that I couldn’t do it, but with this being the end, I’ll let them finish it.”

We then open up to a live shot backstage in that room to see officials now in the room. A couple of EMTs walk into the room as we cut to see Blake Mason down on the ground, blood covering his face and dripping to the floor. He holds his ribs.

Knots: “Oh my God….”

Sharper: “Cruze, Kayl, Shawn Mason….they made sure…There you see the tape they undoubtedly had on.”

We see some bloody athletic tape down on the ground next to Blake. Blake’s shirt is also covered in blood. He tries to get up, but the EMTs force him back down.

EMTs: “Need to stay down Blake. We need you to do that. You may have a concussion.”

Knots: “Oh god…and I helped. I passed along the message…I was used!”

Sharper: “You were…and Kelcey Wallace…”

Knots: “Don’t defend this!”

Sharper: “I’m not. But Kelcey Wallace made it clear, she felt she needed to apologize to all of those Blake took action. And Cruze, Kayl, Shawn Mason, all of them had issues with Blake over his actions with Chris Cannon, with Simon Lyman….”

Knots: “So what?! They’ve left him in a pool of his own blood!”

Sharper: “And Bree Lancaster still needs to compete against Selena Frost.”

Knots: “Oh God…”

We then cut to a live shot of the SCW announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots seated there. Knots just shakes his head.

Knots: “I’ve got to go.”

Sharper: “I’m sure she will be aware. Officials on the scene. We’ll get an update when we can, but Kelcey Wallace harkening back to the Monarchy method for one night only and my God…”

Knots: “Yeah, right out of the page of Trinity Street!”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, as Blake Mason clearly suffering for his past actions, Akira Kimura came to SCW hoping for opportunity. He’s become more vicious in his stylings as of late. Jessica Winters, earlier today, sat down with Kimura to get some thoughts. Take a look.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. The scene opens with Jessica Winters and Akira Kimura sat across from one another, a table in between them, two glasses and a jug of water on top.

Jessica: “Akira, may I firstly take this opportunity to thank you for agreeing to this sit down interview.”

Akira: “You have no reason to thank me Ms. Winters, after all you are merely doing your job. It’s not like you sought me out is it?”

Jessica: “You are one of the brightest young talents in the SCW right now.”

Akira: “Yes, that is true, but that isn’t what the SCW thinks though is it? Let’s not kid ourselves.”

Jessica ignores his demeanor and ever the professional continues.

Jessica: “Now that the Shot of Adrenaline tournament is over Akira, would you like to sum it up in your own words?”

Akira: “The tournament was a failure of course.”

Jessica: “How so?”

Akira: “Isn’t it obvious? The tournament was loaded to give the SCW fan base the outcome that they required. Surely you had to see that for yourself?”

Jessica: “I can’t say that I did.”

Akira: “Take my match with eventual finalist AJ Helms… did you see the bias nature of the heavily edited highlights. They made it look like AJ had dominated me, when in fact, he was lucky to get out of that match with all his teeth intact. He got lucky, as did Rudo, as did Matthews, as did Ace Marshall. It was a joke from start to finish, and the SCW got its finale that it wanted. Whilst the true breakout star of that tournament was once again ignored.”

Jessica: “You?”

Akira: “Of course me. There was no one in that tournament that could do the things I can. No one. And yet where are my plaudits huh? No, they applaud their own, and refuse to acknowledge my efforts. But no matter, it is what it is, this is America after all, the land of the free… if you are American that is, God help you if you’re. I half expect to be frog marched from the country any day now under this new ‘Trump’ regime. I’d love to say that the ignorant are solely captured within the confines of this company, but it is all over the United States. Pig ignorant Americans are everywhere. Repressing us ‘foreigners’ because we are obviously so much better than them. Heck, I speak better American than most of them, y’all, what does that mean?”

Jessica: “I’m not sure we should continue along those lines…”

Akira: “No, of course you don’t. Because you know I am right. This country gives nothing to anyone but their own, even those that are willing to work as hard as I do every single time I step into the ring. It’s the same philosophy that had me cleaning dishes; it’s the same philosophy that kept me from the best parts. If you’re not American, this country sucks, and that’s the truth that you people cannot accept.”

Jessica: “Well, we certainly saw a different style from you against Jinn.”

Akira: “You did, and that is simply because it has finally sunk in. You people cannot see the wood for the trees; you cannot accept that I am far more talented, and far more dangerous than most Americans, pretend Americans… I believe you call them Canadians, and the America’s bitch, the English. So, one by one, I’m going to take these people that you wrongly hold in such high esteem, and I’m going to rip them apart. It started with Jinn, and it will continue with whoever is next, and so on, until no one in their right mind can doubt me any longer. Jinn tried his best with what he was given, a pointless foolhardy gimmick that got very tired, very quickly. Jinn was a by-product of the American peoples stupidity in that they gave him a platform that they denied myself, and then allowed him to be knocked of it by an obviously superior fighter. These people, they rely on chains of holds, combinations and such, whereas I can win a match with one punch. ONE Jessica. That’s the difference, and one that this company WILL recognize by the time I’m through. I’m a ‘Senshi’, a warrior, and slowly but surely you are all going to figure that out.”

Jessica: “So, is there anyone in SCW that you appreciate?”

A smile snakes onto his face

Akira: “There is one, his name is Voigt, I believe. He is someone who seems to have the same ideals as I. This business isn’t fun… it’s about competition. It’s about beating your opponent so hard that he can either no longer stand, or cannot get up, it doesn’t matter which. It is no surprise that he is also booed incessantly from the tops of arena all the way to ringside, because he is someone who isn’t American, and yet is beating on all their favorites. Yes, I have a lot of respect for this man, Voigt, because he will understand exactly how I feel. We put on a show for these people and for what… nothing. If I’m going to get booed by you people, then I’ll give you something to boo me for, by destroying all those that you love. Not only that Jessica, but I’m going to enjoy doing it.”

Jessica: “So that’s the future for Akira Kimura?”

Akira: “What do you mean?”

Jessica: “What about being a champion? Do you not have designs on a championship?”

Akira: “Oh, it seems like you misunderstand me Ms. Winters. I am Japanese; our people strive to constantly be the best that we possibly can. Even when your people bombed my home city, when they dropped an atomic bomb and killed thousands, Hiroshima still rebuilt, and now is one of the most thriving areas of Japan. We do not accept second best, not ever, and I will be claiming those championships along the way. Look at your champions now. A woman’s champion who spends more time showing her ass than proving her worth, tag team champions who are so honorable, one of them is cheating on his girlfriend with someone who is nothing more than a prostitute. An Adrenaline Champion who relies on her now broken alliance… need I really go on. This place, it is a farce, a farce that people like I, and like Mr Voigt will not allow to continue. Things are going to change in Supreme Championship Wrestling, and it is I that will bring those Winds of Change. Me, Akira Kimura. You can stick your adulation where the sun does not shine; I believe that is the correct statement. Because I don’t need it, I never did. But it is the SCW that shall regret…mark my words.”

Jessica: “Thank you Mr. Kimura…”

Akira: “The pleasure was indeed yours.”

Akira then stands up and turns before walking towards the camera. Jessica watches him leave and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen again.

Autumn Valentine vs. Jinn

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

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

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless begins playing across the PA system as the fans cheer. After a few seconds Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage with a smile on her face, standing in the middle of the spotlights for a moment before spinning around and holding out her arms downward, revealing the words “DARK FANTASY” on the back of her ring jacket.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Autumn spins back around, a smile on her face as she begins walking down the ring.

Phillips: “Introducing first, weighing in at 126 pounds and currently residing in Anaheim, California... she is Autumn Valentine!”

She slaps a few hands of the fans on one side of the entrance ramp before running down the remaining distance to the ring and jumping up onto the ring apron and then leaping onto the middle turnbuckle. She stands there for a second before flipping over into the ring and landing on her feet, then dropping to her knees and posing in the ring. The fans cheer again before Autumn gets back to her feet and removes her ring jacket, placing it down into the corner before running to the other side of the ring and leaping onto the middle rope in the middle of the ring, posing there for a moment with one foot on the middle rope and one on the bottom, balancing there before flipping back over again.

Sharper: “This young woman here has had a rough time lately. The tension with her tag partner and boyfriend, Gable Winchester. Losing the Tag Team Championships in December. Another failed attempt to become Television Champion.”

Knots: “Jesus, Adam. Keep it up, she'll start to contemplate suicide.”

Sharper: “My point, Jon, is that she now has a chance here to start to make things better.”

Knots: “Fighting Jinn? Come on.”

Robot Metropolis starts to play and suddenly, the Tron begins to flash red and black with a strange symbol of a phoenix in flight. As it flashes, we see the screen show 32XX appears as it starts to count backwards until it reaches our current time. As soon as it reaches, a bright beam of white light appears on the rampway as if cut through space and time. As the audience strains their eyes to see, it looks like from the light emerges a young man with blonde hair and futuristic battle armor.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from whereabouts unknown and weighing in at 171 pounds.... Jinn!

The light disappears from behind him and he looks to the left and right before crossing his arms and firing off an impressive array of fireworks and flames. Making his way to the ring, he takes off his weaponry, leaving it in a neat pile off to the corner. He leaps to the apron before catapulting himself over the top rope and rolling into the ring where he strikes a pose on one knee and the pyro on the four turnbuckles go off.

Sharper: “Yes, fighting Jinn! Jinn nearly made it to the Shot of Adrenaline semi-finals, only being stopped by a resurging Donovan Kayl. A win here for Autumn would be a big step in righting the ship.”

Knots: “Ship? I thought she was still working on Gibbles?”

We hear Sharper groan as the timekeeper rings the bell.

**DING**DING**DING**

Autumn immediately rushes at Jinn, launching a flying lariat. Jinn is caught off guard at her quick attack and staggers back a little. Autumn takes quick advantage and leaps up for a dropkick Jinn falls against the ropes. Autumn is back to her feet before Jinn can collect his balance, and she runs at him, nailing a clothesline, attempting to flip Jinn over the top rope. But Jinn is bigger than the former Tag Champion and she can't quite get him all the way over. Jinn holds on to the rope and as Autumn backs up, possibly looking to try again, Jinn uses the ropes to springboard himself up backwards with a second rope moonsault, taking Autumn down. She was ready for it though and rolls through, going for a quick pin attempt.

1!

Jinn kicks out easily.

Sharper: “Quick start here, Autumn knows she needs some momentum and she didn't waste any time trying to get it.”

Knots: “And if she had a few more pounds on her, she might have tossed Jinn over. Not that I'm advocating women being fatties or anything.”

Both are back to their feet quickly. Jinn advances on Autumn and lands a flurry of jabs and punches to the ribs and face, Autumn does her best to cover up, and manages to counter one of the jabs by grabbing Jinn's arm and taking him down with an armdrag. She follows this up with a quick knee drop, then a leg drop. Jinn rolls over to his stomach. Autumn glances at the ropes and nods before hopping onto the second rope and springboarding backwards with a split-leg moonsault. Jinn rolls back to his back just in time to see her in the air and keeps rolling, out of the way. Autumn crashes to the mat,

Knots: “Ouch, crash and burn there, Jinn saw the impact coming and avoided it.”

Sharper: “And Autumn is in some pain.”

Autumn rolls to her side, holding her midsection. Jinn scrambles over and covers, hooking her leg.

1!

2!

Autumn gets her shoulder up. Jinn gets to his feet first, and pulls Autumn up by an arm. As soon as she's stable, he uses that arm to sling her into the ropes. Autumn rebounds with a clothesline however, and this time knocks Jinn down. She immediately leaps onto the ropes and goes for that split-leg moonsault again, this time landing it. She makes a cover.

1!

2!

Jinn shoves her off. Autumn rolls over, and Jinn scrabbles backwards a little as the look at each other, catching their breath. The crowd applauds

Sharper: “This match has been non-stop so far and both competitors seem to need a breather.”

Knots: “And of course these fans here in Atlanta cheer when nothing is happening. I guess they're used to that.”

Autumn is up first, then Jinn. They both nod, and lock up. Jinn, being the larger and stronger of the two, gets the upper hand rather quickly, and spins her around before sending her into the ropes again. Autumn bounces back, ducks Jinn's clothesline attempt, bounces off the other side, and nails Jinn with a flying forearm. As he is momentarily taken off balance, she repeats her action from the start of the match and jumps up with a dropkick. Jinn falls against the ropes, just like earlier.

Knots: “What is Autumn doing? Didn't she learn from like five minutes ago that that doesn't work?”

Sharper: “She's being a smart worker, Jon. Wearing her opponent down.”

Autumn runs for a clothesline, but Jinn scouts it and drops, pulling the rope down with him, sending Autumn tumbling over the top to the floor outside.

Knots: “You were saying?”

Sharper: “Autumn landed fairly hard there right in front of us, but she is stirring.”

Jinn gets to his feet on the apron, and sees Autumn trying to get up, using the announce table to pull herself up. The ref starts a count. Seeing an opportunity, Jinn climbs the turnbuckle, and after a brief hesitation to aim, leaps onto the top rope, and flies with an Asai moonsault to the outside! Autumn has just enough time to get her hands up and protect her face before Jinn lands on her, and they both crash hard to the floor. The ref starts his count over.

1!

Sharper: “My God! Moonsault to the floor and they both look crumpled!”

Knots: “I don't get it. Jinn could have stood there and let the referee try to count Autumn out. Why would he risk himself like this?”

Sharper: “It's all about getting yourself noticed. Jinn can't afford to let his star slip even a little bit after his strong performance in Shot of Adrenaline.”

Knots: “He's getting noticed alright. By the referee now counting them both out, and maybe by some medics. Neither have moved yet.”

2!

Jinn rolls off of Autumn, and she rolls in the opposite direction. Both struggle to get to a hands and knees position. Autumn does first, but only for a second before dropping back down.

3!

Jinn is on all fours now, and crawling towards the ring, but slowly, grabbing at his shoulder as he does.

4!

Sharper: “Jinn looks like he may have landed hard on that shoulder, it seems to be slowing him down some.”

5!

Autumn makes it close to the announce table again, and reaches up to try to pull herself up, her other arm cradling her ribs.

6!

Jinn gets to the ring, and falls back, turning to a seated position against the ring steps, still holding his shoulder, looking up at the ring, knowing he needs to get back in there.

7!

Autumn sees how close Jinn is to the ring, and musters the strength to get up to her knees. She knee-walks towards Jinn, and lunges for his feet as he's trying to pull himself up.

8!

Knots: “Autumn is trying to keep Jinn from getting back in before she does!”

Jinn tries to kick Autumn away, but she lunges forward some more and crashes his shoulder into the steps.

9!

Sharper: “Looks like she accomplished that, but can she get back inside the ring in time?

Autumn grabs at the apron and starts to pull herself up, but she's a second too late.

10!

Autumn has one leg on the apron as the bell rings. She slaps the mat in frustration. We see Jinn still on the outside holding his shoulder.

Phillips: “As a result of a double count out... this match is declared a draw!”

Autumn just lays on the apron, dejected, as Jinn uses the displaced ring steps to push himself to his feet.

Sharper: “Jinn going high risk and suffering the consequences. Sometimes it pays off... and sometimes you get this. I hope his shoulder isn't injured.”

Knots: “He's a tough guy, I'm sure he'll be fine. We can't send him back to the future if he's hurt.”

The scene cuts backstage to see Gable Winchester watching the monitor backstage. He just lowers his head.

Gable: “We’re both messes…”

Gable lifts his head.

Gable: “And we can’t even get our revenge against the two who helped just unravel this whole thing.”

???: “Gable?”

Gable turns and Syren walks over to him.

Gable: “Syren…look, I don’t-“

Syren: “Sucks about Cain….about Voigt….”

Gable: “Heh…yeah. And it looks like the BS has spread. Autumn….there was a time she’d just own Jinn. Nothing against him, just she used to be…”

Syren: “A possible World Title contender.”

Gable: “Yeah…”

Syren: “Well at some point, it will all get figured out. If you’re good…if not….”

Gable: “Thanks…I think.”

Syren: “There are a lot of us in limbo. It’s a weird place to be in. For so long you were Tag Team Champions…but you have a Trios Contract. Remember that, and that, that can solve a lot of problems if you use it properly.”

Gable just nods. Syren then starts to head off.

“Immortals” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still of Selena Frost vs. Bree Lancaster.

Sharper: “Well we assume this is going to happen. Bree however may be a bit otherwise engaged-“

Knots: “Ya think!”

Sharper: “But she’ll face Selena Frost, next, here on Breakdown! Oh wait…”

We then cut to see a shot of Ethan von Aaron walking outside of the office of Mr. D. He looks around, holding the SCW envelope he had earlier. It’s now open. He then turns and slides it under the door. He gets up and turns and heads off as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

In the middle of the commercials, we then suddenly see something of interest to wrestling fans. We open up outside of the one-room cabin we’ve seen multiple times. This time, we see a man, wearing a hoodie and track pants on the front porch of it. We see a small light, coming from a cigar, as the man takes a drag. His face is covered by the shadows of the roof over the cabin. We then see him grabbing a small glass of some brown liquid and taking a sip of it as the scene ends. Regular commercials return afterwards.

COMMERCIALS

Selena Frost vs. Bree Lancaster

"BELIEVE IT!"

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

Sharper: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for television time remaining and is your main event of the evening! First, on her way to the ring, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

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

Knots: “This match is not going to happen!”

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster has for the last week wanted this match. This tonight, she shows up and doesn’t. I’m sorry, but you don’t get to do that. Then there’s this talk of a plan with Blake…”

Knots: “She assumed she’d be okay! She was in a war Sharper!”

Sharper: “So was Selena! They were in the same match!”

Knots: “Yeah, but no one cares about her! Bree is classy though!”

The horns of "I'm Worth It" begin as the lights dim somewhat, and a few white spotlights dance on the stage in time to the music. Bree Lancaster, masked along with the mask Mr. D gave her earlier, walks out from the back, wearing a dress version of a Tom Brady New England Patriots jersey. The crowd boos loudly. Bree looks around, clearly distraught, a microphone in her hand. She starts to walk down to the ring. Selena just looks at her. The spotlight follows her down as Phillips introduces her.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from New Orleans-“

Bree: “No! No! Don’t you dare introduce me!”

Bree stops at the bottom of the ramp.

Bree: “Selena! This match is not going to happen. I am not going to the ring. We already know I would kick your ass! We already know that you’d just be embarrassed by me. But even though I now have this protection….no thanks to D….I am not getting in there not because this is over, but because my fiancé, a true champion, he is in the back injured. I should be by his side.”

The crowd boos as Selena shakes her head, walking over to the ropes. Bree looks around.

Bree: “So this is off. This company can’t expect me to come down here when I am in this form of distress! After that brutal attack that Selena, I know you were complicit in. You and Kelcey all buddy buddy. All of this to get into my head. Well, I’m not going to give you the satisfaction! So this match is off! Not happening!”

Bree turns and throws her arms out before turning.

Knots: “That makes complete sense. She should be with Blake!”

Sharper: “She can be with Blake after this match. Or she can formally forfeit then.”

Knots: “Please! She’s too classy for that.”

Sharper: “And plus, we all know why she’s now not out here. Blake isn’t out here to give her an edge. That’s why. That’s what she’s annoyed by. She’s not worried about her nose. She’s worried about her plan!”

Knots: “Hey!”

Bree turns around and starts to head off. A few fans yell at her. Bree stops and snaps at one of them. The crowd roars as Selena then runs up behind her, having dropped down to the floor. She then grabs Bree and spins her around. Bree yells out as the crowd roars and Selena runs over towards the ring and slides Bree in. Bree rolls over. Selena slides in after and Bree starts to get up and Selena nails her with a diving clothesline. The crowd roars. The bell sounds. Bree then gets up and Selena kicks her in the ribs and then nails her with a hard shot to the jaw and then again and again. Bree falls back to the corner. We then see Kelcey Wallace starting to walk out from the back. The crowd cheers some more.

Sharper: “Selena all over Bree!”

Knots: “And look! Kelcey! Kelcey Wallace out here! See!”

Kelcey just takes a few steps down halfway to the ring. Selena grabs Bree and whips her across the ring. Selena runs after and nails her with a running clothesline. The crowd roars. Bree staggers back and down to the mat. Selena then turns and goes over to her and jumps up and hits an elbow drop. She then grabs Bree and pushes off the protective mask before nailing her with a couple of hard rights. Bree covers up. She slowly crawls away to the ropes and starts to get up. She turns around and Selena jumps up and hits a dropkick to the face. Bree hits the mat. Selena goes for the pin.

Bree kicks out. She rolls over and grabs at the ropes. She starts to get up. Selena then turns and clubs her in the back and then again. She spins Bree around and kicks her in the ribs. She whips her into the ropes. Bree bounces off the ropes. Selena scoops her up, but Bree spins through and lands behind Selena. Selena turns and Bree hits a straight kick to the ribs. The crowd ohs and Selena drops down to her hands and knees. Bree then looks at her before backing up and kicking Selena hard in the ribs. She rolls over in pain as Bree falls back.

Sharper: “Oh! Two hard shots to the ribs and Selena’s ribs…”

Knots: “Big target. Yeah! Wanted to go up against her! Come on! Yeah! Not so tough now!”

Sharper: “Bree isn’t staying on her. She’s trying to leave. I don’t know if she knows Kelcey is out here!”

Bree then drops down and rolls to the floor. Selena starts to crawl to the ropes. The referee stops her and she moves back, holding her ribs in pain. Bree backs up and waves her off before turning around and Kelcey Wallace stands there. She waves at her before nailing her with a hard right. Bree falls back. She holds her jaw and then Kelcey grabs her and runs her to the ring. Bree rolls back in.

Knots: “This isn’t fair!”

Sharper: “Seems quite fair. Finally karma really may be catching up to these two!”

Knots: “They had their chance for revenge!”

Sharper: “And they’re making sure the message is sent!”

Kelcey backs up as the crowd cheers. Bree starts to get up as the referee backs up and Selena jumps up and nails her with a spinning heel kick. Bree hits the mat. She rolls over and starts to get up and Selena turns and winces and clubs her in the back and then again. She clubs her a third time before grabbing her by the head, but Bree lifts her up and spears her into the corner. She rears back and shoulders her again and then a third time. Selena just crumples to the ring. She holds her ribs. Bree then kicks her hard in the ribs. Selena rolls to the apron. Bree then looks around, before touching her nose. She then turns and grabs the protective mask that she was wearing and was taken off and puts it back on. She then turns back to Selena who starts to get up. She runs over and Selena side steps a shoulder tackle and jumps up and hits a leg drop. Bree falls through the ropes to the floor. The crowd roars. Selena looks around before seeing Kelcey. Selena smiles a bit and turns before Bree starts to stir. (1) Selena grabs her and turns before throwing her hard into the announce table. (2) She then grabs her and drives her face first onto the table. (3) Selena then throws Bree back into the ring apron. She turns and rolls her onto the table. (4) Selena then gets up and grabs Bree. The crowd roars.

Knots: “Get off here!”

Sharper: “Selena on our table. Still clutching her ribs. Bree meanwhile hurt too!”

Selena grabs Bree. Bree nails her in the ribs and then again. (5) She gets up and look at Selena and looks at Kelcey and smirks through her mask.

Bree: “Late match comeback, just like a real winner!”

(6) Selena however breaks Bree’s hold and kikcs her in the ribs. She then hits the Icebreaker DDT, driving both of them through the table. (7) The crowd roars. Selena winces and rolls over to her side. She holds her ribs. Bree just remains down on the ground. (8)

Sharper: “DDTed right through our table! Bree down! Selena holding her ribs!”

Knots says nothing, as his headset had come off from the impact. Selena meanwhile crawls to the ring as best as she can. (9) She then lunges for the ring apron and pulls herself up on it and rolls into the ring and just remains down in the ring, holding her ribs. (10) The bell sounds and the crowd roars. Bree remains down on the floor. Kelcey then heads to the ring.

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

The crowd cheers. Selena slowly turns, holding her ribs. The referee checks on her. Kelcey then heads over and checks on her too. Selena waves off the referee as he then turns and heads down to check on Bree Lancaster.

Knots: “This is horrible! Just horrible! These two…”

Sharper: “They may have gotten revenge at Retribution. But tonight, these two, have closure!”

Bree Lancaster remains down as Selena Frost is slowly helped up by Kelcey Wallace. Selena holds her ribs and takes a few deep breaths, clearly in pain. Kelcey then holds her up. She then lifts Selena’s arm up. They stand in the ring, holding each other’s arms up. Selena continues to hold her ribs in pain. The crowd cheers. Bree slowly stirs on the floor. The crowd continues to cheer Selena and Kelcey, with their arms raised, before the scene fades to black…
