Breakdown - March 25, 2015

“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:

Breakdown opens up in the office of Mr. D to see Mr. D just leaning down in his hands, elbows on his desk. The camera pans out to show Kennedy Street looking up as Carlos stands next to her. Ethan stands with her in the office as Maximillian is seen standing outside.

Kennedy: “Now, tonight, we need to make this better than anything ever done. This isn’t something like for a Syren or a Jason Zero. It’s me, Kennedy Street. So…chocolate fountains….hot men of course. Put Alex Young out there too. He should have his moment.”

Mr. D just looks up at Kennedy. Ethan then turns to Kennedy.

Ethan: “Perhaps some sort of Juliet balcony. You know, so you can look down on everyone.”

Kennedy: “I like your thinking, but that….that may be a bit much.”

Kennedy shakes her head as Ethan returns to thinking.

Kennedy: “Oh yes, a nice throne for Carlos here for putting himself in harm’s way…you’re such a trooper and Keenie appreciates it.”

Carlos: “Thank you Keenie-“

Mr. D: “Kennedy…we’re not going to do any of that. You’re a champion now-“

Kennedy: “And that means you do what I want! I run the show.”

Mr. D: “No…I do…if you want all of those things, you have to get them yourself.”

Kennedy: “But-“

Ethan then stops Kennedy.

Ethan: “What Keenie wants, Keenie will get.”

Kennedy then smirks at Mr. D.

Kennedy: “Exactly!”

Kennedy turns and storms off. Ethan follows her as Carlos scurries after and Maximilian takes up the rear. Mr. D just shakes his head 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 hitting the tornado DDT on Ben McCaron 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 Shaun Cruze locking the Shaunshooter on Simon Lyman 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 William Mason hitting the Perfect Driver on Shilo Valiant. We then see Collin Cole trying to attack Xander Valentine only to be caught and thrown down to the mat.

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 James Marsh-Asher nearly getting the Last Breath on Red Rayne. Shots of CHBK standing with Mikaela Street, followed by Katie Steward posing and David Helms 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 Jake Starr hitting the shooting five star frog splash from the top of a cage onto Silas Mason before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene cuts to the inside of the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. Pyro shoots from both ends of the stage and towards the middle before back out to the outside and then all across the stage. Spotlights circle around the arena as the camera pan throughout the arena, showing the many fans who have filed into the arena standing and cheering, waving banners, signs, t-shirt and whatever else they have. The cameras pan for a few moments before cutting to ringside to show Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters at the announce table.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Breakdown here in Richmond, Virginia. Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters here at ringside and yes, you saw right. Kennedy Street is the new SCW World Champion. She defeated Syren, albeit with some controversy at Retribution.”

Winters: “Well yeah. Syren accidentally hit Carlos. She went to check on him. Kennedy took advantage. I’m sure we’ll hear from her, but that’s not all.”

Sharper: “A big night for Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon and Shaun Cruze at Retribution. They are done with Silas Mason. Wallace and Cruze retained the World Tag Team Titles. Cannon beat David Helms.”

Winters: “And tonight, David Helms will be in action against Donovan Kayl and you know Silas Mason will be watching that one closely and in all of that is what Regan Street may be thinking. Trinity Street and Lucas Knight got involved at Retribution, clearly trying to hurt Regan Street.”

“Exodus” starts to play and the crowd erupts in cheers. A few moments pass before Shawn Mason walks out from the back with Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon, Shaun Cruze & Shaya Blackley. Kelcey just smiles as Chris Cannon looks more relieved. Cruze stands back with Shaya, allowing them to have their moment. They stand on the stage for a few moments before starting to make their way to the ring.

Sharper: “Two individuals that deserve everything good that happened at Retribution. Finally, they are done with Silas Mason.”

Winters: “Contractually he must. On Twitter, he confirmed it. They look to be free. Finally, they can rebuild!”

Kelcey and Cannon walk to the ring. Cruze follows them with Shaya and Shawn bringing up the rear. They all enter the ring as the crowd continues to cheer for them. Shawn Mason heads over and goes to the corner and is handed a microphone. He turns and walks over to Kelcey. Kelcey looks around and just smiles as Cannon, Shaya and Cruze look at her. Kelcey takes the microphone and Shawn Mason steps back, leaning on the ropes. The crowd cheers her as her music fades out. Kelcey looks out for a moment before then starting to speak.

Kelcey: “You don’t know how good it is that I can stand out here right now and not have to worry about Silas Mason coming out and running his mouth and talking about how he owns me. NO ONE owns me!”

The crowd cheers.

Kelcey: “And I can sit here and talk about how I showed Sienna that no one can fill my shoes…or how Katie Steward found out how Silas Mason is anything but a quick fix. Or how Shaun Cruze and I showed that we are ready to take on any and all teams in the Tag Team Division….but I’m out here to say, or rather….do, one thing.”

Kelcey then lowers the microphone before turning to Chris Cannon and just kissing him in front of the audience. Shaya just smiles excitedly as Kelcey then pulls back.

Kelcey: “Thank you…I love you…and thank you for finally putting an end to all of this.”

The crowd cheers as Cannon says something to her.

Kelcey: “We can finally start to focus on what is best for us without needing to worry about Silas or Sienna or Angelica or Harmony or anyone else coming out and ruining it for us. We can finally focus on being the World Tag Team Champions. We can focus on being the Adrenaline Champion. We can focus on winning the World Champion. We can focus on all of us in this ring being back where we want to be. We can get back to being….Perfect.”

The crowd cheers as Kelcey smiles as she looks around at Cannon, Cruze, Blackley and Mason.

Kelcey: “It’s been too long…over a year since this hell surfaced and now it’s time to start undoing all of the horrible things Silas Mason did-“

“Criticize” then starts to play. The crowd boos as Kelcey just turns to the entrance way, confused. Cannon steps forward to the ropes as Cruze and Shaya look on. Shawn walks over to Kelcey. A few moments pass before Carlos walks out from the back, throwing rose petals down onto the stage and on the rampway. We then see Ethan von Aaron and Maximilian walk out. Kennedy Street walks out last with the SCW World Championship over her shoulder.

Sharper: “Come on…this is their moment, Kennedy.”

Winters: “Looks like the new World Champion disagrees.”

Kennedy has a microphone in her hand as she walks down to the ring.

Kennedy: “Kelcey….Cannon….Cruze….and the other two, while it’s great that you had your moment at Retribution, and you’ve now down your duty to remind everyone here that it happened, you’re done for the night. Let’s face it, you getting free from what was clearly the best thing to happen to you all was such a landmark moment…too bad that Retribution is the night that justice was served and I, Keenie, became your World Champion!”

The crowd boos. Shawn walks up to Cannon as Cannon just starts to bore a hole into Kennedy. Cruze and Kelcey do as well. Kennedy walks to the ring and Maximilian and Ethan hop onto the apron and start to push their way in. Cannon is pulled back by Cruze and Kelcey. Cannon then grabs the microphone from Kelcey as Kennedy keeps talking.

Kennedy: “See, you need to also realize that this is a new era in SCW and not just because Silas Mason isn’t helping you out. It’s also a time where this World Championship will be firmly mine until the day I retire because while you may be perfect…I’m Flawless and frankly, any day of the week, it trumps you-“

Cannon: “You shut up you little tramp.”

The crowd roars. Kennedy stops, stunned.

Cannon: “Get in this ring and I’ll end your damn reign right now…”

Kelcey then steps in and tells Cannon to relax. Maximilian stands up to Cannon. Cannon looks at him as Kennedy then looks up at Cannon.

Kennedy: “Oh honey, that’s exactly why you or either of those tag champs in there will never hold this…that’s unbecoming of being a champion, Chris.”

Kennedy then walks up the steel steps and Ethan just protects her as Maximilian and Chris Cannon stand right up to one another. Kelcey and Shawn Mason keep trying to get Chris to back down. Kelcey is heard telling him that it’s not worth it.

KElcey: “Come on….we’ll get it done in the ring. We’ll get our chance…Nothing will stop us.”

Kennedy: “Keep believing that Kelcey, because I’ll stop you dead in your tracks because this…it’s mine and it’s going nowhere!”

Kennedy holds up the World Championship. Shawn snaps at Kennedy as Ethan keeps Kennedy back. Chris then slowly steps back and he walks over to the ropes and exits to the floor. Kelcey follows as the crowd boos. Shaun Cruze looks at Kennedy before following them. Shaya and Shawn quickly exit to go and support Kelcey and Cannon. Kennedy then enters the ring as Maximilian remains on guard. Carlos enters and throws rose petals all around and Ethan stands in the ring. Cannon glances back, as does Cruze. Kelcey however continues to lead them to the back with Shaya and Shawn. Kennedy just smiles.

Kennedy: “Now clearly some people need to be reminded about how much of a landmark and historic night Retribution was. I have been saying for over a year that I should be World Champion and now that is the case. And so, I propose, since it took a year for SCW to give me the opportunity I rightfully deserved, it should be a small bit of restitution for Keenie to get this episode of Breakdown, all of it, to celebrate the life and times that are Keenie.”

Sharper: “Good lord…”

Winters: “Well this could be fun if she shows some home movies”

Sharper: “Somehow I doubt that’s on tap, Shawn.”

Winters: “Maybe she’ll just replay her Retribution match.”

Sharper: “There’s a way to make some people angry.”

Kennedy looks around as the crowd boos.

Kennedy: “So, Ethan, time for you to start to get these people going. We don’t have confetti or balloon because our boss clearly needs to be reminded of how important I am.”

Ethan says something to Kennedy and starts to head to the floor and heads towards the back.

Kennedy: “Bare with us-“

Sharper: “I’m being told we’re going to commercial break.”

Winters: “She’s not going to be happy about that.”

Sharper: “It’s happening. We’ll be back. The US Champion was supposed to be out next to face Collin Cole, but well…who knows? We may have the World Champion still here. Don’t go anywhere.”

Kennedy keeps talking while the scene fades out.

Kennedy: “…because Ethan is going to make sure that all of you realize what was missed by waiting a ye-“

COMMERCIAL:

We return to see Kennedy Street still in the ring.

Kennedy: “There…the lights are back. What is this?”

Kennedy paces around in the ring as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Kennedy Street still in the ring. And well, here we go. Backstage, Ethan’s made it to the production truck.”

Winters: “Obviously Kennedy figured out we were on commercial break. The lights dim in the arena.”

We cut backstage to the production truck to see Ethan von Aaron face to face with Merrick Wiseman.

Ethan: “You need to do what’s right-“

Wiseman: “Yeah and that’s not letting that sanctimonious bitch have her way. If she has time, go for it, but the show should go on. There are matches-“

Ethan: “No one cares about them unless Keenie’s in the ring.”

Wiseman: “Then talk to D about getting her a match. Otherwise, get her out.”

Ethan: “Or what?”

Wiseman: “I’ve already gotten the director to go to commercial once.”

Ethan: “I have videos-“

Wiseman turns to the director.

Wiseman: “Just start playing the music for whoever is next to be in the ring. Maybe that’ll get her out.”

Ethan: “What?”

We then see the director say a few things before we start to hear the muffled sounds of “Smooth Sailing.”

Ethan: “Hey! Turn that off!”

He steps forward and Wiseman elbows him in the jaw, knocking him back. Ethan backs off and then turns and storms out of the production truck. We then cut to the ring.

Kennedy: “Turn that horrible music off! This is my time. I don’t care what was supposed to happen. They should take it up with Mr. D!”

We then see Collin Cole walk out from the back. He looks around and then continues on his way to the ring. Kennedy turns to him.

Kennedy: “No! You…whatever your name is…leave! This is Keenie’s time!”

Cole just raises his eyebrow in disbelief before continuing his way to the ring. He reaches the ring and Maximilian heads over and obstructs before Cole walks up the steel steps. Maximilian shoves him back and Cole steps back before dropping down. He then looks at Maximilian.

Kennedy:” You’re not getting in here. Just turn around and watch this from the back. Sorry, Keenie doesn’t do THAT level of charity.”

Cole just starts to walk around the ring. Maximilian continues to obstruct before we see a couple of security guards start to make their way to the ring. They head down and we then see Ethan von Aaron run out from the back and jog down. He runs past the guards before heading to the ring and hopping onto the apron. Keenie then walks over to him. The camera tries to get close.

Ethan: “We got to go. We’ll come back later. Knots will be out here.”

Kennedy: “But what about the night?!”

Ethan: “Just come on…they’re going to arrest you.”

Kennedy: “What?”

Ethan: “Not just that-“

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 and the SCW United States Championship in her hand. She then looks down at the ring and starts to head down to the ring. Ethan von Aaron turns and Kennedy backs up as the guards reach the ring. Maximilian heads over towards them. Cole takes this opportunity to enter into the ring. Kennedy backs up and Ethan turns to the guards and tries to plead with them. Just then, Cole runs up behind Kennedy and throws her over the top rope. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Cole! From behind! And Kennedy dumped to the floor!”

Winters: “He snuck in! And Ethan is dealing with the guards!”

Sharper: “Look at Ravyn!”

Maximilian turns to Cole and grabs him and forearms him down. He rolls over. Kennedy starts to get up and Ethan warns her, but Ravyn then nails her with a forearm, knocking her down. She then looks at Kennedy and waves. Kennedy gets up and backs up over to Ethan before motioning to him and Carlos. Carlos exits the ring. Maximilian looks at Cole as Ravyn just watches them. Kennedy and Ethan walk around the guards and the guards turn to Maximilian. Kennedy turns to go back at Ravyn, but Ethan grabs her and pulls her back. Maximilian then turns and notices Kennedy on the ramp. He exits the ring as the guards turn and motion him to come over. Carlos joins Kennedy and Maximilian slowly heads over. Ravyn turns and rolls into the ring. She gets up.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor with the shot on Kennedy. Kennedy wants to get at Ravyn.”

Winters: “You think Ravyn did that for Syren. A little shot at her for good measure.”

Sharper: “I’m sure, but this is not turning out the Kennedy wanted. Our security escorting them to the back.”

Ravyn Taylor watches. Cole starts to get up. Kennedy continues to be calmed down and held back by Ethan. Maximilian comes over and the guards keep telling them to leave. Carlos throws his rose petals as he heads to the back. Kennedy keeps looking at Ravyn and Ravyn just smirks before mockingly waving at her. Cole gets up and leans back against the ropes, chuckling a bit.

Sharper: “Well as Kennedy heads to the back. This match, it will happen next. Collin Cole faces off against Ravyn Taylor, when we return, here for Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Ravyn Taylor vs. Collin Cole

Checking with both competitors, the referee turns and calls for the bell and the crowd roar as the time keeper rings for the start of the match. Cole is the first to step out of his corner and he goes to circle as Ravyn stealthily steps out of hers shortly after and the two circle in the ring eyes locked on one another for a moment before stepping in and locking up. Cole, the bigger of the two, powers out and Ravyn slackens her grip as Cole forces Ravyn back towards the corner, pushing her into the turnbuckles and Ravyn holds her hands up which draws the official in, ordering Cole to back away. Cole goes to back up but doesn't get further than a couple of steps though as Ravyn suddenly lunges forward with a stinging European uppercut that catches the San Franciscan off guard and he spins around holding his jaw. With Cole's back turned on Ravyn, she jumps up and dropkicks Cole square in the middle of his back and he crashes chest first into the ropes.

Sharper: "And Ravyn Taylor showing quick wits capitalising on the referee's decision to order Collin Cole out of the corner, ladies and gentlemen."

Winters: "There's no love lost between me and former members of The Infamous, Adam, so you know it means something when I say that Ravyn Taylor is one of the smartest wrestlers in the business..."

Cole stumbles back away from the ropes and Ravyn is waiting, rolling him up from behind as he staggers towards her and the referee drops to make the count.

Winters: "Ravyn Taylor scoring the first pin attempt of the match but Collin Cole powers out at two!"

Sharper: "Ravyn Taylor of course looking to continue her momentum after an impressive successful United States championship defence at Retribution against William Mason..."

Winters: "But no doubt Collin Cole will want to score a victory over the champion here tonight in this non title match; a win over Ravyn will put him in good stead to lobby for a shot at her championship in the coming weeks..."

Ravyn and Cole both roll to their feet again, Collin rubbing his jaw a little before stepping in and the pair lock up in the middle of the ring again. Ravyn goes to twist out of the lock up and tries to duck underneath Cole's arms but he's ready this time and he grabs her around the waist from behind before lifting her up and over with a German suplex that he bridges for the pinfall.

Ravyn shoots her shoulders up, springing away from Cole and rolling to her knees but as she looks up, Cole swings for her head with the Heartbreaking Finale and Ravyn has to dive out of the way to avoid the kick straight to her face. The miss leaves Cole stood awkwardly though and Ravyn grabs Cole by the head before dropping to her knees to drill Cole with a sitout jawbreaker. Ravyn rolls through to hook the leg and the referee drops down to make the count.

1...

2...

Kickout!

Sharper: "Another close two count for United States champion Ravyn Taylor but Collin Cole isn't done yet, ladies and gentlemen..."

Winters: "Collin Cole is of course a former United States champion himself, beating Marina Trent back at Rise To Greatness ten, two years ago. He knows what it takes to keep going and get the job done and Ravyn will be well aware of that; it's probably why she's trying to put this one away early..."

Back in the ring, Cole starts to roll to his knees as Ravyn gets up and rushes at the ropes, bouncing off before coming back at Cole looking for a knee, but Cole manages to grab Ravyn's leg and holds her there and Ravyn hops on one foot before Cole lets go of the leg and takes her down with an STO with the other arm, all at once. Jumping up, Cole is quick to capitalise and he runs at the ropes himself as Ravyn starts to climb to her feet. Jumping up, Cole jumps up and springs off the middle rope before turning around and hitting Ravyn with the Cole Killer.

Winter: "Oh! HUGE springboard roundhouse kick from Collin Cole and that may be enough to put Ravyn away here tonight!"

Sharper: "We'll find out soon enough; Cole going for the pin!"

And that he is! Cole rolls Ravyn over and hooks the leg as the referee slides down next to them and begins to make the count.

1...

2...

3...NO!

Ravyn shoots the shoulder up and Cole looks at the referee in disbelief, holding three fingers up but the referee just shakes his head and signals for two. Cole brushes his hair out of his eyes before pushing back up to his feet and pulls Ravyn up to her feet too. He applies a front face lock and throws her arm over his shoulder before going to lift her up but Ravyn surprises Cole by dropping down behind Cole, almost surprising herself in fact and that moment's hesitation gives Cole the opportunity to turn around and he quickly kicks her in the stomach before grabbing her head and pulling it between his legs and lifting her up for a powerbomb. The crowd roar as he is about to slam Ravyn down on the canvas but somehow, some way, Ravyn manages to lock in the Momento Mori COMPLETELY out of nowhere, Cole dropping to his knees as Ravyn really locks the hold in.

Sharper: "Momento Mori locked in tight by Ravyn Taylor and this seems to genuinely have taken Collin Cole by surprise!"

Winters: "I can tell you from experience, that triangle choke is NOT fun to be in... I know erotic asphyxiation is all the rage thanks to Fifty Shades but that is ONE choke that no one wants a part of!"

In the ring, the referee drops down to check on Cole and the crowd begin to boo as Cole looks to be fading fast. It looks like he's all but done before he seems to find the energy from somewhere to force his way back to one knee, slowly but surely lifting himself back to a vertical base, holding Ravyn up in a sort of modified powerbomb position, the Memento Mori still locked in tight.

Winters: "Now that's impressive from Cole; finding the strength to lift Ravyn up like that when that hold is locked in tight the way it is?!"

Sharper: "But Ravyn Taylor still has that hold locked in and it doesn't look like she's letting go any time soon!"

Cole drops down to slam Ravyn's back into the canvas again but she keeps the hold locked in tight and the referee checks on Cole yet again, and with the hold locked in so tightly he eventually has no choice to tap, because it's that or simply pass out and "Bad Girl" hits the speakers again as the referee begins to tap Ravyn on the arm, ordering her to let go. Ravyn eventually breaks the hold and rolls to her knees, throwing her hair out of her face as the referee raises her hand in victory. She snatches her arm away after a moment and rolls from the ring to grab her title before making her way up the ramp, turning to hold the US title up before continuing up the ramp, smiling broadly.

Sharper: "And the United States champion Ravyn Taylor continues her run of fine form here tonight with a victory over Collin Cole after a lethal finish with the Memento Mori..."

Sharper: "But Cole should walk back up that ramp with his head held high Adam because there's NO shame in tapping to that hold and he put up a hell of a fight in this thing. An impressive performance from both Cole AND Ravyn Taylor here tonight."

We cut backstage to see Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon and Shaun Cruze returning to their locker room. Shaya Blackley and Shawn Mason follow in after.

Cruze: “I can’t believe that-“

Cannon: “Shaun…I’d take her head off if I could.”

Kelcey: “Please…Chris…”

Cannon turns to her.

Shawn: “Kelcey’s right.”

Cannon: “Why? We finally have a chance to start things off on a good foot and she comes out and wants the show to be about her. I’m sorry-“

Kelcey: “Chris!”

Cruze just watches along with Shaya as Kelcey turns to Chris.

Kelcey: “Chris…who cares if we don’t get our moment tonight. We’ll have it later…or next week or whenever we want it. Silas Mason is done with us. I’m happy for that alone.”

Cannon pauses.

Kelcey: “If Kennedy wants to be that shallow, let her. Because all it means is when one of us get a shot at no…earn a shot at her and don’t need to worry about Silas Mason screwing us over….we’ll have all the motivation in the world to get what we deserve.”

Cannon: “You’re right….”

Shaya: “See! It’s a good night!”

Cruze: “And we’ll be seeing your return too.”

Shaya: “Exactly…and I’ll put the exclamation point.”

Shawn: “Then we can celebrate and we can figure out how all of us are going to get what we want now that nothing stops us, but ourselves.”

Kelcey: “See Chris.”

Cannon: “Yeah, I see…I see…”

Cannon sighs as we cut away.

We then cut backstage to see Kennedy Street with Ethan von Aaron, Maximilian and Carlos in the backstage area. Kennedy just paces back and forth.

Kennedy: “I don’t believe this. I was just disrespected out there. I’m the World Champion. I save lives!”

Ethan: “I know. I know. I’m going to look into it. Someone clearly needs to be fired or given a whipping.”

Kennedy: “I’m the champion now. I should be getting people bowing down to me and giving me the respect I deserve. I took our Syren. I told the world I’d get it done.”

Ethan: “I know.”

???: “Sounds like something we know well.”

Kennedy turns as we see Alexis Quinne show up with El Rudo and Grundy in tow. Grundy looks at Maximilian and the two large men just stand up to one another.

Quinne: “Oh Grundy…relax! It’s only Maxy!”

Maximilian turns to Alexis.

Kennedy: “Relax Maximilian…it’s okay…Anyone who hates Autumn is a friend of mine.”

Quinne: “Totally! That clumpnugget needs to be taught a lesson or two. And I’m sure as hell not done with them. I’m getting my title.”

Kennedy: “Well they’re on the ropes. Syren’s precious title reign is over. The reign of Keenie is here.”

Quinne: “And I for one congratulate you. Kicking Autumn out of the ring a few weeks ago…that was great…And we’ll be there if you need it done again.”

Kennedy: “Excellent. Oh this is good.”

Quinne smiles and turns to El Rudo.

Quinne: “Plus…we can always share a message if we need to. Some things need to get rebranded around here. And with a new champ…sounds like a perfect time.”

El Rudo tosses Quinne her can of spray paint. She smiles as she then turns and skips off. El Rudo heads after her with Grundy taking up the rear. We then see Dante McCaffrey in the background watching before smirking a bit and then turning and heading in the opposite direction as Kennedy just smiles and we cut away.

COMMERCIAL:

Dylan Howell vs. Gable Winchester

The lights go out and as Van Halen's powerful anthem "Top of the World" begins, white strobe lights do as well. Soon appearing on stage is Dylan Howell, dressed in a black leather jacket with red shorts and boots, both bearing his initials.

Sharper: “Welcome back ladies and gentleman, as you can see we’re kicking things off right away with Dylan Howell on the stage.”

Winters: “And you’ll notice his wife is absent.”

Sharper: “That’s right; we can assume she’s backstage watching. Those who follow the pair should know that Jessica is in fact pregnant.”

Winters: “Congratulations to the creators of the greatest charity drive ever!”

The crowd continues to boo while Dylan smirks and walks down the ramp, like Sharper mentioned notably absent of his wife. But he doesn’t look alone out there all the same. With a leap onto the apron Dylan climbs into the ring and extends his arms with his confident swagger before removing his jacket and hanging it over the nearest ring post.

Sharper: “Looks like Dylan is ready to go, wasting very little time here.”

Phillips: “His opponent, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, he weighed in tonight at one-hundred and ninety-eight pounds... GABLE WINCHESTER!!!”

A deep voice booms around the arena as the crowds are hushed, waiting for what would happen next.

“The Book Of Winchester, Page Three, Chapter Seven, Verse Nine…There was a dark and foreboding federation…nothing but criminals and geriatrics running riot…the place called out for a hero…a saviour that wasn’t of the Christian variety…that could bring a new sense of awesomeness to it’s very core…and rock the place to its foundations like never before…they found that man”

There is silence before various words show on the video screen.

DRAGONSLAYING, FOUNDATION LAYING, ALCOHOL SWILLING, LEGEND THRILLING

"Motherf**ker Of The Year" By Motley Crue hits in the arena as a microphone now appears on the video screen as Gable's voice can be heard echoing throughout the arena

"GABLE-ITES! THIS IS FOR YOU!"

This immediately sets the crowds off with cheers aimed toward the man that steps out onto the top of the ramp with "The Book Of Winchester" tucked securely under his arm as he walks forward and Percival Devlin can be seen behind him walking as Gable then stops and smirks at the gathered fans before holding the book aloft as blue fireworks shoot up from both sides of the stage and the crowds give him a wild reception. Shrugging and then smiling, Gable turns to Percival and gives him the book to carry before strolling down to the ring, acknowledging as many fans as he can before he makes his way to the ring with his protégé in tow albeit with nowhere near as much enthusiasm as Gable. He is all smiles as he leaps onto the apron and begins to climb the outside of the corn as Percival watches on. But the climb is cut short after Dylan Howell runs across the ring and springboards off the second rope and connects with a drop kick to the face of the man of win!

Winters: “OOOH, business just picked up!”

The impact of the drop kick sends Gable flying back off the turnbuckle and he lands on top of Devlin with a crash. The crowd boo loudly as Howell slides out of the ring and goes right on the attack with boots to the back of Gable Winchester. The referee is demanding Dylan get into the ring but Howell isn’t listening as he pulls Gable up and throws him into the nearby security barrier, turning around to look at Devlin now Dylan runs across and drives a boot into the temple of Gables buddy knocking him out.

Sharper: “What the hell?! There was no need for that at ALL!”

Winters: “He has no business being at ringside, it was bound to happen.”

Sharper: “That’s bull and you know it.”

At ringside Howell is back working away on Gable with more stomps to the ribs, he pulls him up by his hair next and begins to drag him towards the ring, but the Man of Win drives a right hand to the gut of Howell! He hits another and another and looks for one more but only gets a knee from the former tag champion. Gables face is then slammed against the ring apron viciously before being rolled into the ring! Dylan follows suit and laughs before yelling to the official to begin the match.

Sharper: “No, not like this...”

The referee begrudgingly calls for the bell; Howell smirks before covering Gable and hooking both legs while the crowd begin to boo loudly.

Winters: “HA, Could it be one of the fastest matches in SCW history?!”

1...

2... KICK OUT BY GABLE!

The crowd erupts as Gable rolls away from Dylan and shakes his head furiously; he begins to get to his feet as Dylan is already back on his and yelling at the official to count faster. Gable now back to his feet is spotted by Dylan who charges across for a clothesline attempt, but the man of win ducks the attempt and applies a rear waist lock on him before rolling back for a school boy attempt of his own! The crowd roars each count along with the official’s slap of the mat.

1...

2... NO! KICK OUT BY HOWELL!

Sharper: “A taste of his own medicine there, Gable almost stealing with the roll up.”

Winters: “That would have been tragic, that would have been criminal!”

Both men get to their feet respectively, Gable takes a step forward but Dylan drops to the canvas and rolls to the outside shaking his head. Gable barks something at Howell before looking at the official, the Man of win using the time to check on Percival who is now sat up right and holding the side of his head. The other side of the ring however shows Howell snapping at the official and showing his tights and complaining Gable held them.

Sharper: “Dylan throwing any kind of excuse to the official there but he isn’t buying anything Dylan Howell is selling right now.”

Winters: “He should, I see him holding some tights.”

Sharper: “You did not.”

Dylan sneers at the referee who begins the ten count, but doesn’t make it to two as he slides into the ring now and goes right on the assault to the unsuspecting Gable with a double axe handle to the back. Gable drops to a knee and because of it, Dylan switches to clubbing blows to the back next. Gable winces from each strike but that gets even more heated now as he is pushed throat first across the middle rope and held there by Howell. The official looks and begins to tell Dylan to let go, but then changes his mind and starts the count...

1...

3...

4... Dylan releases the grip!

Sharper: “He was choking him with the ROPES! Come on referee!”

Winters: “He has till the five count; he can do what he likes!”

Dylan has backed up with that confident swagger which only receives boo’s from the SCW fans tonight. Mockingly he pats himself on the back as he waits for Gable to get back to his feet. Howell waits for the opportune time and once again goes for another clothesline attempt, only this time Gable grabs the top rope and drops down, Dylan going over, but managing to latch onto the top rope himself and lands on the Apron instead!

Winters: “People talk about Gables agility there, but Dylan has the ability of a cat as well!”

Gable gets back to his feet and goes to grab Dylan, but the former tag champion ducks the attempt and drives his shoulder into the gut of Gable doubling him over! Using the top rope to launch himself over, Dylan rolls off the back of Gable and sprints across the ring. He’s looking to do something big as he hits the ropes and makes the return sprint but is knocked out almost instantaneously with a rocketing punch from Gable Winchester!

Sharper: “SUPERMAN PUNCH!”

Winters: “What, NO!”

The crowd erupts as Gable grabs hold of his hair in obvious anger at how this match has gone so far but he wastes little time going for another cover of this match.

1...

2... KICK OUT BY HOWELL!!

The crowd sighs as Gable rolls away and wastes no time at all exiting to the apron, this time we see Percival back on his feet and slapping the mat. Gable nods as he climbs to the top turnbuckle and waits for Dylan to get to his feet when he does Gable leaps off and hits the perfect cross body and hooks the legs once more.

1...

2... KICK OUT BY HOWELL!!

Sharper: “Gable trying to get some momentum here, with Rise to Greatness season approaching, you know he and everyone else are looking for that traction that will help keep them focused.”

Winters: “Dylan doesn’t care about traction; he’s pissing everyone off and loving every minute of it.”

The crowd collectively sighs as Gable rolls off Dylan and holds his head in frustration as Howell rolls away holding his ribs now. Devlin is on the outside trying to keep Gable’s head in the game, working the crowd who all start a “LETS GO GABLE!” Chant, while some others chant “DYLAN HOWELL!”.

Sharper: “It’s going to take something big for either one of these men to get that much needed victory tonight, they are evenly matched here.”

Winters: “Speak for yourself, Dylan is biding his time here.”

The fans continue to rally behind Gable; both men are on their feet and instantly lock horns with a grapple. It’s a test of strength, which Dylan manages to get the advantage with as he forces Gable to a corner. With a knee next on the agenda Howell knocks the wind out of Gable before pushing him back and connecting with a chop to the chest which gets a resounding “Woooo” from the SCW Fans. Devlin holds his head and winces as Gable receives another, the man of win looking to get out of the corner but Dylan has none of it and pushes him back.

Winters: “Those chops are sending a message, just listen to that impact. SCW better be listening.”

Sharper: “I’m inclined to agree with you there Shawn.”

Dylan swings another arm looking for one more Chop but Gable this time ducks and the roles are reversed with Howell now in the corner! The crowd pops loudly as Gable starts to throw lefts and rights to Howell in the corner, he switches it up to chops of his own of a much faster pace before Irish Whipping Dylan across the ring to the other side. The impact from Dylan sends him stumbling out of the corner towards the center of the ring, Gable runs across and hits a leaping forearm smash to the face of Dylan Howell next to another roar from the crowd. Feeling the adrenaline pumping now Gable is on his feet and backs off to the ropes and runs forward before leaping up and hitting a double leg drop! Again the SCW Fans, the Gable-ites roar as the Man of Win covers.

1...

3? NO! HOWELL KICKS OUT!!

The fans were about to cheer but that’s cut short, Gable holds his head once more rolling away and looking to the official who holds out two fingers instead of the favourite three. Devlin yells out to his Mentor and claps his hands together to motivate him. Howell is on the canvas still holding his face as Gable gets to his feet and shakes his head, he looks to the top turnbuckle again and the fans roar which is all the motivation he needed as he once again exits to the apron and climbs towards the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Gable looking for something big now, the diving elbow maybe?”

Winters: “Maybe, Dylan needs to get his ass into gear; an elbow from that height to the chest is no joke no matter who is doing it!”

Gable starts to balance himself but while doing that Dylan gets to his feet and “Stumbles” in his attempt to put a stop to it, Howell falling into the nearby official who hits into the ropes and crotching Gable on the top turnbuckle instead. The crowd ooohs as Gable winces in clear pain. Devlin leaps up onto the apron to check on him, but Howell is quicker to sprint across the ring and connects with a forearm shot sending him back down to the ringside area. The official barks at Howell who feigns innocence at his “stumble”.

Sharper: “Howell didn’t stumble, he did it on purpose!”

Winters: “What are you trying to imply, that he cheats?! THAT is the founder of the Jake Starr Can Kiss My Ass Club! He’d never cheat!”

Howell continues to ignore the official now and waves him away, his focus Gable Winchester once again, he pulls both of Gables legs over the top rope so he’s in a seated position now. With a right hand he rocks Gable back who almost falls off the top if he wasn’t holding onto the rope for dear life. Dylan now on the second rope hits with another and goes for a third but Gable blocks and head butts Dylan knocking him back down to the canvas on his feet. Dylan shakes his head and heads back but Gable now pushes him away with a kick!

Sharper: “Gable sensing what Dylan was going for and is fighting back!”

Gable tries to ready himself but Dylan is the quicker of the two as he runs across and leaps hitting a forearm to the temple and stuns him. Dylan now scurries up the corner himself and leaps up onto the shoulders of Gable before falling back and hitting a huge Hurricanrana which gets a roar from the crowd at first and then boos...

Winters: “GREAT EXPECTATIONS!!”

Sharper: “Huge move, that could be it right there!”

The crowd believes the same thing as Dylan rolls across and lays ontop of Gable, the wind clearly knocked out of him from the move also as the official drops to the canvas and counts...

1..

2...

3?! NO!!! GABLE KICKS OUT!

The crowd erupts once more at the resilience of Gable; Percival drops to his knees and prays thanking the book of Winchester which rests on the apron. Dylan sits up in shock as he looks at the official, Howell quickly on his feet and in the referees face telling him that was “GOD DAMN THREE!!”.

Howell: “COME ON REF LEARN TO COUNT!!”

Referee: “It was TWO!!”

The official once again shows two fingers in the face of Howell which looks to be more intentional this time... A heated Dylan shakes his head in anger as the crowd start up their “Lets Go Gable” Chant once more. Gable is stirring on the canvas which is where Dylan goes to strike but instead gets brought down into a small package

1...

2...

3? NO!!! HOWELL KICKS OUT!!

Winters: “OH, THANK GOD!!”

Sharper: “SO CLOSE THERE!”

Dylan is the first to his feet after the kick out and Gable starts to get to his but he gets a lunging elbow to the back of his head knocking him down to the canvas. Howell sneers now clearly having head enough as he gets to his feet and applies a rear waist lock on Gable before lifting him up with a dead lift and slamming him down to the canvas with a German Suplex! The crowd “Ooohs” at the strength of Dylan, but he isn’t content instead he rolls back up still keeping hold of Gable and hits another German! Dylan rolls to his feet once again and looks for another GERMAN but Gable manages to force a break during the motion and rolls off the shoulder to his feet.

Sharper: “Dylan going for the guilty pleasures, but Gable broke the grip!”

Winters: “HOW?!”

Sharper: “Guts and determination, that’s how!”

Dylan gets to his feet as Gable is on his the two look to lock up horns once again, but Gable ducks and applies a rear waist lock of his own. He looks to throw Dylan over, but much like Gable Dylan lands on his feet! Gable back onto his turns and looks for a standing Enziguiri but Dylan had it scouted and ducks. Gable however is feeling the end is clear if he can hit that one big move and springs to his feet, he charges at Dylan who shifts his body and lifts Gable up into a gorilla press before spinning him out and hitting a cutter dead center of the ring!

Winters: “DEAD ON ARRIVAL! That has to be it now.”

The crowd erupts with boo’s as Gable lays on the canvas unconscious, Percival Devlin doing everything he can to get his mentors attention but to no avail as Dylan covers...

1...

2...

3!!!

The bell sounds and “Top of the World" by Van Halen hits over the P.A System as Dylan rises to his feet with a grin a mile wide. He looks at the official and tells him to raise his arm which he does but only then Dylan snatches his arm back yelling “Don’t touch me”.

Sharper: “Gable gave it his all tonight, but it seems Dylan was the one following the book of Win-Chester this evening.”

Winters: “Ha! You got that right; Looks like Old Gable will need to start a re-write or proof read some of those pages.”

The sound of Winters laughing can be heard as the focus is back on Dylan who has exited the ring and is now backing up the ramp with a smirk on his face as he raises his arm into the air. The cameras then switch back to the ring where Percival Devlin is checking on Gable who is now seated and shaking his head in disappointment.

COMMERCIAL:

The camera shifts to reveal Jessica Winters standing beside the Snow Queen herself, Selena Frost. While Jessica appears upbeat and excited, Selena remains rather calm, turning a pair of sharp scissors in her hand.

Winters: “Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here right now with one of the finalists in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament that concluded on Retribution, Selena Frost. Selena, while you came so close to winning the Adrenaline title that night, ultimately, it didn't work out. Is this the end of your quest to regain the championship?”

Selena: “You know it's funny, I've been asked that question constantly since Retribution. That I might just have to give up because I didn't beat Red Rayne. That I should, as she said, "Abandon All Hope". But let me ask you, Jessica, if you failed at something but knew you could do it, would you quit just because of one failing?”

Winters: “No, I wouldn't.”

Selena: “Exactly. Yes, I did lose in the final round. Yes, I didn't manage to beat Red Rayne. Yes, according to everyone, I failed. But what seems to be slipping the minds of several critics and cynics is that I went through seven other superstars and six matches to get to that final match. That I went undefeated in the tournament up to the final round. Am I supposed to just forget that journey we had, the true-believers and I? Am I supposed to just give up when I came so close to regaining the Adrenaline title because of one moment that things went wrong?”

Winters: “When you put it that way...”

Selena: “Exactly. I'm proud of how far I came in the tournament and all Retribution showed me is that I am right where I belong in this division. And I'm just going to learn from this, work harder than ever, and come back better than ever.”

Winters: “Well, actually, that's something I want to bring up. Next Breakdown, you're set to face both Red Rayne and the woman you beat at Retribution, Angelica Jones, in a tag-match... and your tag-team partner is your former partner-“

??: “She knows who she's partnering with.”

Selena and Jessica turn as Dawn Lohan, complete with familiar red hair, appears before them.

Dawn: “You wanted to meet me?”

Selena: “I wanted to talk to you, but you wanted to put it in front of a camera.”

Dawn: “If you have something to say to me, you can say it all your "true-believers".”

Selena: “Then I don't have anything to say to you.”

Selena goes to move but Dawn grabs her arm and pushes her back against the wall.

Dawn: “No, you're going to explain yourself.”

Turning to Jessica Winters, Dawn pushes her out of the way before concentrating back on Selena.

Dawn: “I don't know if this is your doing or some sick game by D. for his "golden child", but I'm not playing it.”

Selena (through gritted teeth): “Dawn, get out of my way.”

Dawn: “No, you're the one that wanted to reveal our past in your stupid letters and now, you're going to tell me what the hell is going on with these supposed "choices" and scissors in your hand.”

Selena: “Why? Afraid I'll hurt your "mother"?”

Angrily, Dawn slaps Selena across the face. Selena does not look shocked as she stares down Dawn.

Dawn: “I am not going to play this game. I'm not a pawn anymore. If you don't tell me right now what is going on, I swear I will leave you to Rayne and Jones and-“

She is unable to finish that sentence as Selena Frost grabs her former partner's face and aggressively kisses her, to the shock yet thrill of the audience. Pulling back harshly, Selena stares down the stunned Dawn.

Selena: “You were right. Happy now?”

With a shove, Selena pushes Dawn away before marching down the hall and out of sight, leaving Dawn confused and stunned.

Sharper: “4Saken returning next week? But-“

Winters: “And they’re clearly on the same page, huh?”

We cut to ringside to the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters at the announce table.

Sharper: “Well in any case, that’s just one of the many stories we’re following here tonight. Retribution was a couple of weeks ago. Tonight, we’re all back under the same roof and those who joined us for Retribution will recall that Rachel Tatum Lee and Rachel Foxx put Matt Auclair in the trunk of their car and drove off.”

Winters: “And Auclair hasn’t been seen since.”

Sharper: “Well, we have an idea of what happened to him. Obviously, we were in Rachel Tatum Lee’s home state and she had plans to send a message not only to Matt Auclair and Red Rayne. We warn you that some may be disturbed by this footage that Requiem filmed and shared with us.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

TAPED SOMETIME AFTER RETRIBUTION

We see a blurry sight before some red lights. Muffled voices can be heard. The images focus and we see Rachel Tatum Lee standing behind the car we saw at Retribution, the car still going as the lights are on and exhaust comes from the vehicle.

Foxx: “Let’s do this.”

Tatum: “I hope my sister is watchin’…”

Foxx: “Ready?”

Tatum just holds up the cattle prod, turning it on, causing the clicking of the electricity to sound. She then grabs the trunk and opens it and immediately, a foot flies out, looking to strike Tatum or Foxx. We see Auclair as he then swings out and starts to try and get out of the trunk. Foxx steps back as Auclair swings again. Tatum then moves in and starts to stun Auclair with the cattle prod. Auclair convulses and rolls over before just unceremoniously dropping down to the ground. Auclair lets out a groan.

Tatum: “Come on Matt…ya had so much more fight earlier…”

Auclair: “Then drop the cat-“

Tatum then shocks Auclair again.

Tatum: “If Daisy wasn’t with ya, I would…but this isn’t about you…or me….”

Foxx: “Just enjoy the right Matt. You picked the wrong horse…”

Auclair convulses as Tatum grabs the noose which remains around Auclair’s neck and stomps Auclair in the face before turning and starting to drag Auclair back. Auclair struggles, alternating between grabbing the noose and grabbing the grass and dirt around him. Foxx just backs up, filming Auclair struggling.

Foxx: “Always fun to watch the allegedly bulletproof realizing their demise….”

Tatum: “I hope Aiken and Daisy realize it too then…”

Tatum jerks Auclair forward and then again before we see a small lantern on the ground. Auclair rolls over and Tatum turns and stomps Auclair in the face and then again. Auclair rolls over and Tatum leans down.

Tatum: “Now, ya may not know this place Auclair…but this well…we’ll say it’s mah backyard. And Daisy knows it well…and she needs ta realize that if she’s gonna keep thinking Aiken is the light…then these Killin’ Fields are gonna be someone’s downfall.”

Auclair then swings and nails Tatum in the ribs. She falls back and Foxx runs over, causing the image to shake and Foxx kicks Auclair in the chest. She shoves her back. The image is hard to follow until Foxx turns around and we see Auclair down, unconscious as we see Tatum Lee standing over him with a shovel.

Tatum: “Guess I can’t tell him the plan…”

Tatum then turns to Foxx. She helps Foxx up and Foxx looks at Tatum before holding the phone up to her.

Tatum: “Daisy…you know exactly what I’m doin…ya know exactly where I am…and ya know that I will destroy New Eden if I have ta.”

Tatum then turns and grabs Auclair by the noose and pulls him forward. Foxx then shows that Auclair has fallen into a shallow grave. Tatum then turns and grabs the shovel. She walks over and spears it into a pile of dirt and dumps some over Auclair. She then turns and lifts some more dirt up before turning and dumping it over Auclair. Auclair is face down in the ground and nearly covered in dirt already. Tatum lifts up some more dirt before lifting it up and dumping it on Auclair. She then grabs some more dirt and dumps it over him again. She then turns and spears the shovel into the ground. Tatum then turns and walks over to the car, a few yards away. Foxx continues to film her. Tatum then opens up the back door of the car and reaches in. She grabs a bottle of water and walks over before turning and walking to Auclair and the grave. She then throws the bottle of water into the grave with Auclair.

Tatum: “That should be good enough for a warnin’.”

Tatum turns to the phone.

Tatum: “That’ll work…send it to Daisy after…by the time she gets it…maybe he’ll be awake and can figure out somethin’…”

Tatum turns and walks off as Foxx shows Auclair down in the grave again. Foxx then can be heard laughing a bit before she brings the phone down and the video ends.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We then open up to a live shot of the crowd in Richmond, Virginia, as the cameras pan the crowd.

Winters: “Don’t piss them off…”

Sharper: “Now, as you probably realized, Red Rayne was sent the film immediately. Auclair was found. He suffered a concussion from the attack. Auclair isn’t here tonight, but we know Red Rayne is here tonight and as part of this all that makes this interesting, she will be presented with the Shot of Adrenaline trophy tonight.”

Winters: “And she’s going to get a live mic.”

Sharper: “Aiken too. Obviously, Rachel Tatum Lee and Rachel Foxx sending a message to Auclair, Red Rayne, Aiken, New Eden…and that’s that they can be just as brutal as they can.”

Winters: “No one doubted them!”

Sharper: “But I think we have the equal there and you have to wonder what the response will be…and I just hope that security is ready for this all.”

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We see a shot of Jessica Lasiewicz walking backstage.

Sharper: “There you see one of the new signings of SCW. Jessica Lasiewicz…she’ll be in action. Makes her official debut, next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Jessica Lasiewicz vs. Arcadia Chavez

We open up in the ring to see Arcadia Chavez leaning against the ropes.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown here in Richmond, Virginia. Arcadia Chavez in the ring ready to face off against one of SCW’s newest signings.”

Winters: “Angelica Jones’ daughter too.”

Sharper: “That’s right. Jessica Lasiewicz, Angelica Jones’ daughter, making her debut tonight to some fanfare.”

“…Wait, wait….”

“Wait” by ZOEGirl begins to play over the PA system. The big screen flashes to life as the phrase “Last Jones Standing” appears on the screen followed by the name “Jessica Jones.” A modest cheer erupts from the fans as Jessica Jones steps out onto the stage.

You've been hurt, you've been lied to.
You ran all your life just to get out of your shoes.
But you settled in too soon; now your road is clearly dark.
No room for any light to break through.

Two huge pyrotechnic shots go off behind her as she raises her arms high into the air. After the pyro is over, she begins to make her way down towards the ring, looking determined, her eyes tense as they gaze towards the ring.

You're on a mission to get even with the world.
To give back all the pain you received, it's just too hard to believe
that anything could make it better.

Please don't let it end this way.
You could wait another day.
It's foolish games that players play.
One choice can bring you so much ache.
Please don't end up this way.
There's got to be some other way.
You could live without this mistake.
So please wait.

She steps up on the steel steps and then steps over to the middle of the ring apron where she poses once more for the fans to cheers. She then steps through the ropes and steps to the center of the ring as the music dies down.

Sharper: “Lasiewicz has appeared in SCW before. She was part of the End of the Year Open Invitational.”

Winters: “Well now we see what she can do in singles action. I’m sure Angelica Jones will be watching.”

Sharper: “I’m sure many are. Arcadia Chavez, meanwhile, is no slouch. A striker out of New Mexico. She can certainly be spoiler to Jessica’s debut here tonight.”

Jessica looks at Arcadia. The bell sounds and Jessica and Arcadia circle the ring. Jessica reaches out at her, but Arcadia kicks at her hand. Jessica jukes back. They circle some more and Arcadia goes for a jab and a hook. Jessica backs up to the corner and the referee tells Arcadia Chavez to get back. She reluctantly does. Jessica watches her and comes out of the corner. Arcadia watches her and goes to take her down. Jessica blocks it and locks in a front face lock. Arcadia pushes her back to the corner. She then shoulders Jessica and then again. She steps out and grabs Jessica and goes to whip her across. Jessica runs at the opposite corner and slides down, stopping herself. She turns around and Arcadia runs after her. Jessica ducks a clothesline and Jessica ducks down, spins around her and hooks her up, throwing her back with a big back suplex.

Sharper: “Big back suplex. Arcadia Chavez lands on her head and neck.”

Winters: “No bridge. So more impact. And now she’s getting up.”

Arcadia gets up and Jessica kicks her in the ribs and then forearms her. She grabs her arm and wrenches it. She then pulls her in for a side headlock. Arcadia pulls her back and into the ropes. She fires her across. Jessica bounces off and Arcadia lifts her up. Jessica spins through and lands behind her. Jessica then cuffs her in the back before turning and hitting a neckbreaker. She goes for the pin.

Arcadia kicks out. Both women start to get up. Jessica then runs into the ropes, jumps to the middle rope and dives back and Arcadia turns only for Jessica to spin around her, grabbing her head and hitting a reverse DDT. She goes for the pin.

Arcadia gets her shoulder up. She stirs, but Jessica starts to get up.

Sharper: “Great bit of agility there to springboard and spin around Arcadia off the rebound.”

Winters: “Well she’s got some nice flashy move and they are doing the work, but now is where she should just be on Arcadia, not going to the top.”

Jessica looks back at Arcadia and then grabs the top turnbuckle. She jumps up for a split-legged moonsault, but Arcadia gets up and clubs her in the back. Jessica lands hard on the top turnbuckle and Arcadia then just pulls her back by her hair, dumping her hard on the mat. Jessica rolls over in a bit of pain. Arcadia then runs into the ropes and hits a vicious running knee lift. Jessica hits the mat. Arcadia goes for the pin.

Jessica kicks out. She turns and rolls over. Arcadia grabs her by her hair. The referee warns her and Arcadia clubs her in the back and then again. She turns and whips her into the corner. Arcadia runs after her, but Jessica gets her boot up. Arcadia staggers back. Jessica then rushes out and nails Arcadia with the Our Lady Peace. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “What a boot! A bicycle kick right to the face of Arcadia Chavez!”

Winters: “She’s getting back up. She’s still fighting too!”

Jessica watches her and runs out and goes for a flying headscissors, but stops before flipping Arcadia over with the Our Lady of Sorrows. The crowd ohs and Jessica quickly goes into a pin.

Sharper: “Oh my God! What a tombstone piledriver!”

Winters: “Well Arcadia just got shorter and not just that. She’s probably thinking she’s in New Mexico right now!”

Jessica rolls off of Arcadia Chavez. She gets up and has her arm raised. Her music plays and the crowd cheers some.

Sharper: “And that is a hell of a way to start off your SCW career, proper.”

Winters: “Dump your opponent on their head. Big win and mommy dearest has to be proud too!”

Sharper: “Well, we’ll see there, but a fine start to Jessica Laciewicz’s SCW career!”

Jessica celebrates in the ring some more as the referee checks on Chavez. We then cut backstage.

We open up backstage to see Marisa Condolesa at the SCW interview area.

Condolesa: “Please welcome at this time…Merrick Wiseman.”

The crowd roars. Wiseman comes into view. The crowd cheers as Merrick turns to Condolesa.

Condolesa: “Now Merrick. In a few moments, you’re going to be facing off against Rachel Foxx. But you had a busy night at Retribution. You were active all night and one of the most notable moments came in the match between Chris Cannon and David Helms. You called for an end to the match.”

Wiseman: “And I still stand by it. I’m not exactly happy about the fact that the match was restarted. The fact was that there was a clear disqualification and David Helms should have won. While I would love to support Chris Cannon, the fact is that I cannot support the way that match ended. I side with justice. Justice would be to see Kelcey Wallace no longer under the thumb of that slug Silas. But the fact is…that’s only if the legalities are taken care of…well..legally.”

Wiseman pauses.

Wiseman: “But Retribution was a busy night. So has tonight been. See, I’m going to start putting my stamp on this show. I’m going to make sure justice is served. It may not always be popular, but the sad fact is that something justice isn’t popular. It is however necessary. It is necessary to stop Jake Starr from running around with his damn steel chair and thinking that he can do whatever he wants. He can’t and he won’t as long as I’m around. Trinity Street and Lucas Knight can run around and get involved and target their enemies, but not in the middle of a match without them having to deal with the consequences. And tonight, Rachel Foxx is going to deal with the result of her actions.”

Wiseman looks into the camera.

Wiseman: “I may not be a fan of Auclair, but to kidnap him, put him in the trunk of your car and do what you did…I cannot let that go unpunished. So Rachel, I will ensure justice is done and I will remind you that your violence is not going to be appreciated any longer.”

The crowd boos a bit before we see Mr. D walk into view.

Mr. D: “Merrick…we need to have a chat.”

Wiseman: “Not now…I’m about to go to the ring-“

Mr. D: “That’s fine…this will be fast. Your job is to oversee the matches, not to play director or play music. What you did earlier-“

Wiseman: “Then put her in line, D. If not, I’m going to make sure the arrogant pricks around here, shut the hell up unless they’ve been scheduled to have their time.”

Wiseman then turns and walks off. Mr. D watches him go.

Sharper: “Well Merrick Wiseman with a mission. He faces off against the new Underground Champion, Rachel Foxx, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Merrick Wiseman vs. Rachel Foxx

‘Justice... Will Be Done’.

The lone riffs of a single guitar echo the familiar chords that herald the entrance of SCW`s peacekeeper before we hear a voice begin that fateful entrance.

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

From the curtain emerges Merrick Wiseman. His head down, his long coat waving a little, the camera closing in for a second on the light playing on his silver Texas Ranger badge, and his hands tracing along his guns. The crowd sings along the chorus as Merrick slowly raises his head, showing his masked face. He suddenly draws one of his pistols and fires into the air and at the ring apron down the ramp as the crowd goes nuts.

As he walks down the ramp, Wiseman keeps his eyes focused on the ring and for any signs of trouble. Meanwhile, he reaches into his belt, taking out bullet after bullet and reloading his gun. Just about when he is done, he has reached the ring and loads the barrel. Wiseman pulls back the hammer and suddenly crouches down and pulls up the ring apron, pointing his gun inside.

Standing up, he twirls his gun and puts it back in the holster. He walks up the stairs, slowly taking off his gun belt, which he leaves draped over the back of the turnbuckle. He takes off his coat, placing it on the metal pole. He gets into the ring and raises his hands for the referee to make sure he isn’t carrying anymore bullets or guns. The ref clears him and he takes off his hat slowly for the audience before tossing it cleanly on the pole.

I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive

Merrick leans on the ropes staring at what awaits him in the ring.

I still drive, dead or alive

Sharper: “Merrick Wiseman motivated for this match. He’s made an impact earlier regarding Kennedy Street. He’s called out Rachel Foxx too.”

Winters: “And he’s caused problems with Jake Starr. Add some of the other people he’s been pulling his stuff on. He’s just going to end up with a target on his back.”

The lights in the arena go dark as “Take me to Church” by Hozier plays through the dark arena.

“My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it”

As the bass line comes in, white strobes begin pulsing from the entryway, in rhythm with the music, illuminating the plume of smoke which is rising from the stage.

“My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you—

I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.”

As the “Amens” ring out, the arena goes dark again and remains that way until the chorus rings out and the white light once again illuminates the entryway showing Rachel Foxx slowly emerging from the smoke. She has the Underground Championship over her shoulder. She is wearing a black zip-up hoodie with “MERCENARY” written in what looks like red paint on the back. The hood covers her head, but her emotionless eyes still stare out with a far away look as she slowly makes her way down the ramp to the ring, never acknowledging the intense reaction of the crowd around her as an eerie calm and coldness radiates from her. At the bottom of the ramp, she slowly climbs the stairs and slowly makes her way into the ring with none of her usual theatrics. Once in the ring, she makes her way to the corner where she sits down and stares back at the entryway.

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx, the new Underground Champion. She defeated Tommy Valentine at Retribution.”

Winters: “And then after, helped nearly destroy Matt Auclair.”

Sharper: “And that’s why Merrick Wiseman isn’t fond of Foxx.”

Foxx looks at Wiseman, putting down her title. Wiseman stretches out as he walks around the ring. The bell sounds. Foxx gets up and Wiseman then turns and reaches out at Foxx. Foxx pulls back. The crowd roars a bit and Wiseman goes in for Foxx, but Foxx quickly kicks him in the ribs before kicking him in the knee before forearming him. Wiseman falls back and into the ropes. Foxx kicks him in the ribs and forearms him again and again. The referee calls for the break. Foxx forearms him again before Wiseman shoves Foxx back. Foxx plants her foot and turns and Wiseman lunges forward and elbows Foxx in the jaw. Foxx staggers back and falls over to the corner.

Sharper: “Hard elbow and Wiseman gets Foxx on her back foot.”

Winters: “Sends her back, but you can see the smirk. She’s nuts. She’s looking for a fight.”

Foxx pushes out and Merrick catches her and hip tosses her over. Foxx gets back up and gets up and Merrick kicks Foxx in the ribs. She pulls her into a front facelock. Merrick then hoists her up and throws her back with a vertical suplex. He floats over.

Foxx kicks out. She turns and Merrick grabs Foxx by the head and lifts her up and turns before throwing her into the corner. Merrick then grabs her by the head and nails her with a hard right and then another before Foxx bites Merrick’s hand. The referee calls for the bell.

Foxx stops and Merrick pulls back. Foxx then forearms Wiseman. Wiseman stumbles back and Foxx forearms him again. She then steps back and pulls herself up onto the middle turnbuckle. Wiseman turns back and Foxx dives off with a diving forearm smash. She goes for the pin.

Wiseman kicks out. Both get up and Foxx dropkicks Wiseman down. Wiseman gets back up and Foxx grabs Wiseman and goes to run him over to the corner. Wiseman blocks it before Foxx tries again. Wiseman then elbows her in the jaw before throwing her back with a back suplex. Foxx rolls over and to the ropes.

Sharper: “Big back suplex.”

Winters: “And Foxx landed bad there. Right on her head and shoulder.”

Sharper: “Foxx however rolling to the ropes and getting a chance to distance if she wants it.”

Foxx grabs at the ropes. Wiseman gets up and grabs her and pulls her back before hoisting her up and turning and hitting a sidewalk slam. He pulls back on her legs.

Foxx kicks out. Wiseman rolls off. Foxx rolls over and starts to get up. Wiseman grabs her and runs her over to the corner. Wiseman then grabs her and whips her across the ring. Foxx hits the corner. Wiseman runs after her and nails her with a clothesline. The crowd ohs. Foxx winces and falls out. Wiseman then turns and runs her into the ropes. She bounces off the ropes and Wiseman elbows her down. Foxx gets back up and Wiseman runs at her and clotheslines her up and over the top rope. Wiseman watches her as Foxx starts to get up. Wiseman runs into the far ropes. He bounces off and goes to dive through the ropes, but Foxx jumps up and onto the apron before kicking Wiseman in the face. Wiseman falls back. Wiseman starts to get up and Foxx springboards to the top rope and hits a top rope dropkick to the face of Wiseman. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Foxx goes high-risk after Wiseman got caught.”

Winters: “He tried to fly. Foxx said no and Foxx had her own ideas.”

Sharper: “Wiseman down. Foxx getting up.”

Wiseman rolls over and Foxx runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running boot to the side of Wiseman’s head. She goes for the pin.

Wiseman kicks out. Foxx rolls off. She starts to get up. Wiseman stirs and Foxx kicks him in the ribs. She forearms him and then again before running into the ropes. She bounces off the ropes and jumps up onto his shoulders. Wiseman holds on and tries to counter. Foxx however manages to slowly force him over, weakly. Wiseman rolls through. The crowd boos a bit. Foxx then hits a back kick. She turns and jumps to the middle rope. She then dives back for a moonsault, but Wiseman catches her. Wiseman then turns and runs her back first into the turnbuckle. The crowd ohs and Wiseman backs up and dumps Foxx down.

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx dumped like a sack of potatoes.”

Winters: “Probably a favourite food of Wiseman. But also probably a sign of what he thinks of her.”

Sharper: “And Wiseman walking around. High-flying failed Foxx there.”

Wiseman walks back over to Foxx and pulls her up. Wiseman then lifts her up and places her on the top rope. Wiseman forearms Foxx and then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. He looks around and hooks Foxx up. The crowd roars as Wiseman then lifts Foxx up and throws her back and hits a superplex. The crowd cheers. Wiseman looks up and turns and rolls to the apron. He then starts to pull himself up to his feet before climbing up to the top rope. Foxx is down on the mat and the crowd cheers as Wiseman gets to the top rope. He looks around and then turns to Foxx before diving off and hitting a big elbow drop. He goes for the pin.

Foxx gets her shoulder up. Wiseman looks up. He glances at the official who reminds him it was only two. He then gets up.

Winters: “He thought that was it.”

Sharper: “The referee wasn’t wrong.”

Winters: “Yeah. We know they can count to two. It’s the three that sometimes screws them up.”

Wiseman turns and grabs Foxx and lifts her up. He then hoists her up onto his shoulders before he flips her over and slams her down on the mat. Wiseman turns and exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. Foxx remains down and Wiseman gets to the top rope and looks down at Foxx. He goes for a second elbow drop, but Foxx rolls out of the way. Wiseman crashes to the mat. He wince and starts to get up and Foxx gets up and hits an enziguri kick. Wiseman falls to a knee. Wiseman winces and holds his jaw. He then gets up and Foxx gets behind Wiseman and takes him down with the Downfall. The crowd ohs. Wiseman rolls to his back from the impact. Foxx hooks the leg.

Wiseman pushes her off. Wiseman looks up and rolls over. Foxx sits next to him and starts to get up.

Sharper: “And Foxx with the nearfall. Not enough to put Wiseman away.”

Winters: “She’s not exactly thrilled. Both are questioning the ref’s ability to count.”

Foxx looks at Merrick and gets up. She stomps him in the face and then again. She then scoffs at him before dropping down and rolling to the floor. The crowd roars a bit and Merrick rolls over and looks at her. He slowly makes his way to the ropes as Foxx grabs the SCW Underground Championship. She turns to the ring and places it on the apron. Merrick rolls to the floor as the official grabs the title and reprimands Foxx. Foxx just laughs a bit as she walks away from him and drops down to the floor, looking under the ring. She then reaches underneath and grabs her trademark sledge hammer.

Sharper: “And Foxx has her sledgehammer!”

Winters: “That quest for justice looks a bit more of a problem now!”

Foxx holds it up and smiles before saying, right in camera range, “Let’s see if you can stop this.”

The referee goes over to Foxx, realizing she has a sledgehammer and Wiseman stands up on the floor. Foxx turns to him and Wiseman stops Foxx, grabbing the hammer. She pushes forward and Wiseman fights her off a bit and both turn to the left, causing Foxx and Wiseman both to nail the referee, knocking him over. Wiseman then grabs the sledgehammer and pulls it away. He then throws it down. He turns and Foxx grabs him by the face and drives him into the barricade. We then hear the bell sound as the referee starts to get up, calling for it. Foxx turns and heads over to where the official put the Underground Title down.

Sharper: “The referee calling for the bell here.”

Winters: “Well they knocked him down. A bit premature but who cares as Foxx has her title.”

Sharper: “And Wiseman getting up! She’s coming back.”

Foxx takes a few steps towards Wiseman before stopping. Wiseman staggers up and then tells her to take a swing. Foxx just chuckles before throwing the title over her shoulder. She then turns and starts to head to the ring, waving Wiseman off. Wiseman just looks at her. He can be seen mouthing “It’s not over” as Foxx walks away.

Sharper: “She’s walking away?”

Winters: “That’s new. I expected her to take his head off!”

Sharper: “I don’t know what to make of this…”

Foxx heads to the back as some in the crowd boo. Wiseman just watches her leave.

Sharper: “Well, much more to come here on Breakdown. Jonathan Knots will join me. David Helms will face Donovan Kayl and much more. We’ll see you after this!”

The scene fades to black.

They say we are what we are

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.

Immortals

Sharper: “Welcome back to Richmond for Breakdown. Adam Sharper here, now joined by Jonathan Knots.”

Knots: “Trust me. I’m not happy to be here because it’s Richmond. I’m happy to be here if Kennedy Street comes out and gets the time she deserves to celebrate!”

Sharper: “Well she’s still here. I’m sure she’ll be back out.”

Knots: “Get her out now!”

Sharper: “We have action in the ring Jon to start us off and I’m not sure her trying to derail the show again is going to help!”

Knots: “It would help me greatly. Hell. Keenie will help everything. Keenie saves lives and she’s the World Champion!”

Shaya Blackley vs. Katie Steward

All the lights go down, throwing the entire arena into a state of utter blackness. Fans begin looking about, almost in a form of panic, unsure what to expect. The sound system releases the first lively riff of the familiar entrance theme - that of “The Final Countdown”. It is music that is both energetic and strangely uplifting at the same time. Coming to life, the giant monitor above the catwalk shows static. The snowy graphic resolves into a montage of Miami Greatness in action.

Suddenly, the entire venue is assaulted by chaotic gold strobe lights. The pulsing throb of the music is accompanied by the marching of countless figures. Each one is dressed identical to Shaya Blackley - wearing a blood splattered Komainu mask and her big-match white ring gear. They converge on the ringside area and the image is daunting. Behind the steel barrier is a virtual army, made up of countless duplicates of a single persona. It is impossible to tell who is the real Miami Greatness, assuming that the original is there at all.

Then, one individual steps over the barricade and lurches onto the apron. With a flourish, she grasps the top rope with one hand and throws her weight back with the other. To a chorus of cheers the charismatic performer steps into the ring. Her movement resembles an orchestra conductor trying to walk a high wire while mildly intoxicated. Crimson streaked hair flows over her komainu mask; bold chocolate eyes survey the crowd. She perches atop a ring post to await the ringing of the bell.

Sharper: “Shaya Blackley making her return here tonight to the ring. She’s been back in the corner of Kelcey Wallace.”

Knots: “A poor man’s Kennedy Street and also a fool. Now she’s going to just tie her hopes to the Perfect World which FAILED.”

Sharper: “You’re just going to be a joy to work with tonight I bet.”

Knots: “I’m a delight.”

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system.Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen.

Plush ruby red carpet is rolled down the aisle way just as Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtains. Miss Steward is all decked out wearing her long white coat and a stunning diamond studded tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair curls.

She starts her walk down the ramp to ringside. TJ Johnson exists from behind the curtain and follows his Goddess.

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

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

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

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

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

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

TJ Johnson smiles down at Katie, before bowing slightly. He takes the microphone and goes to the floor.

Sharper: “You have to wonder where Katie Steward is in the scheme of things with Silas Mason. Mason being very vocal on twitter lately in terms of which clients he will continue to represent.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, she should be Tag Champion. Sienna should be. But no, Marcus V. Lopez screwed that up and then there’s Katie…she had Sienna!”

Katie looks at Shaya and the bell sounds. Katie then runs at Shaya and kicks her in the ribs. She forearms her in the jaw and then again and again. Shaya falls back to the corner. Katie holds her back and forearms her again and again before grabbing Shaya and pulling her along the ropes and then throwing her face first into the next turnbuckle. Shaya turns and Katie grabs her and chops her. The crowd woos. The referee warns Katie and Katie grabs Shaya and whips her across the ring. Shaya bounces off the corner and Katie runs over and kicks her in the ribs before scooping her up and slamming her down in the middle of the ring. Katie goes for the pin.

Shaya kicks out. She turns and Katie gets up and grabs her.

Sharper: “Katie showing some great aggression early. Clearly looking to get the taste of Retribution out of her mouth.”

Knots: “Well, what a better way than to beat the hell out of Kelcey’s best friend.”

Katie forearms Shaya. Shaya stumbles over to the ropes. Katie walks after and kicksher in the ribs. She then turns and whips her across the ring. Shaya bounces off and Katie lifts her up. Shaya spins through and lands on her feet. Katie turns and Shaya hits a dropkick. Katie falls back. She gets up and Shaya gets up and dropkicks her again. Katie gets up again and Shaya hits a spin kick to the head. The crowd ohs. Katie falls back and rolls out of the ring. Shaya then plants her feet and looks at Katie and tells her to get back into the ring. Katie backs up and TJ Johnson heads over to her.

Sharper: “Katie sent to the floor. Shaya showing off those educated feet.”

Knots: “And where the hell did she get her degree?”

Sharper: “It’s an expression.”

Knots: “A dumb one.”

Katie paces a bit as TJ tries to calm her down. Katie looks at Shaya. (1) Shaya remains back and Katie starts to move to the ring. (2) She then hops onto the apron. She enters the ring and rushes at Shaya. Shaya quickly hip throws her over. Katie gets back up and Shaya kicks her in the ribs and wrenches her arm. Shaya holds on and kicks Katie in the chest. Katie yells out in pain. She kicks her again and then runs to the corner, still holding on and runs up the turnbuckle before flipping over Katie and arm dragging her down. Katie rolls through and starts to get up and Shaya runs at her and takes her down with a traditional flying headscissors. Katie rolls over and gets up. She turns to Shaya and Shaya runs past her and jumps to the middle rope and hits a springboard gamengiri. Katie hits the mat. Shaya goes for the pin.

Katie kicks out. She rolls over.

Sharper: “And Shaya Blackley is showing her Adrenaline-flavoured offense on Katie Steward.”

Knots: “Yeah, she’s jumping all around. Now if Katie just drills her hard, that’ll end that strategy!”

Katie starts to get up and Shaya kicks her again in the ribs. She turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and jumps up onto the shoulders of Katie. Shaya starts to go for a victory roll, but Katie drops down to her knees.

Shaya kicks out. Both women get up and Katie hits a spinning heel kick, stopping Shaya’s momentum. Shaya starts to get up and Katie gets up and grabs her from behind and pulls her down with a neckbreaker. She goes for the pin.

Shaya kicks out. She rolls over and slowly pull herself up. Katie elbows her in the back of the head. She then throws her back with a Russian legsweep. Katie rolls over and gets up. She turns to the corner and climbs up to the top rope. She glances back and goes for a praying moonsault. Shaya rolls out of the way. Katie lands on her feet though. She stumbles a bit. Shaya gets up and runs at Katie, but Katie grabs her by the head and hits a snap bulldog. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “What a counter! What a bulldog!”

Knots: “Damn. The old girl has some tricks!”

Sharper: “She’s hardly old!”

Knots: “Compared to you, definitely!”

Katie goes for the pin.

Shaya gets her shoulder up. She rolls over. Katie looks up and grabs her. She pulls her up and places her head between her legs. She goes to hook her up, but Shaya counters with a backdrop. Katie gets back up and turns to Shaya who hits a Pele Kick. Katie hits the mat. Shaya turns and hooks the leg.

Katie kicks out. She rolls over and starts to get up as Shaya pulls herself up. She grabs Katie and pulls her back before hitting a snap back suplex. Shaya then turns and exits to the apron. The crowd cheers. She climbs up to the top rope.

Sharper: “Shaya Blackley is climbing to the top rop!”

Knots: “And we’ve seen she likes to fly.”

She looks around and dives off for the BLOCKBUSTER, but Katie rolls out of the way. Shaya crashes into the mat. She rolls over, holding her ribs and chest in pain. She fights back up to her feet, but Katie gets up and grabs her from behind before spinning her around into the Platinum Blonde. The crowd ohs and boos. Katie rolls her over and hooks the leg.

The crowd boos. Katie pushes away from Shaya. She then takes a moment before getting up. TJ enters the ring and heads over to her and as the referee goes to raise her hand, TJ steps in and does it for him.

Sharper: “Well, rebound she did. Katie Steward outlasted Shaya in her return.”

Knots: “Not the return you want. Crashing and burning hardly a good start.”

Sharper: “I just hope that’s not a sign of anything more. Not an omen. But Katie Steward back in the win column, here tonight, on Breakdown!”

Katie glances back at Shaya before walking around the ring. TJ shows her off as we cut away.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Katie Steward walking backstage with TJ Johnson with him. The crowd boos seeing her. We then see Jessica Winters over to her.

Jessica: “Katie! Can I get a word?”

Katie just stops and turns around a bit before turning back. TJ goes to stop Jessica, but Katie stops him.

Katie: “What do you want?”

Jessica: “This whole situation with Silas’ World. You weren’t successful at Retribution. He’s cutting ties with some of his clients. Are you still with him or are you planning something else?”

Katie just looks at Jessica. Jessica backs down a bit as Katie takes a deep breath and then looks up.

Katie: “What are you doing here?”

Marcus V. Lopez then comes over.

MV: “Bonjour!”

Katie: “Get out of there”!

MV: “But you need another partner for a shot at the Tag Titles and I said I’d get you ther.e”

TJ then steps forward.

TJ: “MV…Katie wants nothing to do with you-“

MV: “No! I will not take that. I said I would get you to the Tag Titles-“

Katie: “Oh God…”

Katie pushes MV out of the way and storms off. MV stumbles back as TJ follows her. MV gets up and turns and heads after her as Jessica stands back stunned.

We open up to the ringside area to see a shot of the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament Trophy in the middle of the ring on a stool.

Sharper: “There you see the trophy, created for this inaugural Shot of Adrenaline Tournament.”

Knots: “And the boss, he’s going to actually hand this to Red Rayne. To New Eden.”

Sharper: “It’s happening, somehow. Red Rayne won the tournament. Ran the table. And now, gets to reap some of the rewards.”

Knots: “So are they going to get a chance to talk…and after what we saw earlier with Auclair?”

Sharper: “Yeah…”

We then cut to a wider shot to show Mr. D already in the ring with a microphone in his hand. He just looks out at the crowd.

Mr. D: “Here goes nothing…”

Mr. D then clears his throat.

Mr. D: “Ladies and gentlemen, Retribution saw the end of the inaugural Shot of Adrenaline Tournament. Selena Frost and Red Rayne battled in the finals. The SCW Adrenaline Championship was also on the line…and to end the tournament, Red Rayne defeated Selena Frost to run the table and win the tournament with a perfect record.”

The crowd boos a bit.

Mr. D: “At this point, I would like to invite Red Rayne to come to the ring to accept the Shot of Adrenaline trophy.”

The crowd boos.

Knots: “It’s happening!”

Mr. D turns to the entrance way as we then start to hear “Red Rain” by Peter Gabriel starts to play. The crowd boos as a red hue comes over the arena. We then see Aiken Frost walk out from the back with Red Rayne. Mr. D watches both of them as Red Rayne holds her Adrenaline Championship. Aiken then leads her down to the ring. The crowd continues to boo before we see Aiken reach the ring. He walks up the steel steps and enters into the ring. Red Rayne follows and Aiken looks at Mr. D and smiles. Aiken walks right up to the owner of SCW and looks at him before grabbing at his microphone. Mr. D holds on for a moment.

Sharper: “Aiken going for the microphone…”

Knots: “If that’s all, I’d consider that to be lucky!”

Aiken pulls back and Mr. D relents. Aiken then smiles as he slowly brings the microphone up to his mouth.

Aiken: “Don’t worry, we’re going to play nice…”

Aiken smirks as Red Rayne just looks down, ignoring the trophy in its entirety.

Aiken: “Don’t you like this situation? You’ve been doing all you can to prevent me from speaking…and now, it’s gifted to us all because of Red’s brilliant wrestling acumen. Even against one you’ve said in public is the future of this sport. No….My Red is. And she proved it. DOMINANT she was…”

Aiken just looks at Mr. D as Mr. D glances away.

Aiken: “What….is this awkward for you? You need to be in the ring with us.”

Mr. D says something to Aiken, outside of the range of the microphone.

Aiken: “No…you can stand there and listen to every word we have to say. This isn’t just some sort of coronation where you hand us the trophy and run off. You’ve been withholding our voice from the masses for a long time. We’re going to take advantage. New Eden is far from strangled…or muffled…and now, not even muzzled. Security can prevent us from the bloodletting we desire, but there are other figures who we want war with more now than your precious initials.”

Aiken looks right at Mr. D as he steps forward.

Aiken: “While you should always live in fear of what we are capable of-“

Just then, Red Rayne walks over and pulls the microphone away from Aiken. Some in the crowd roar, while many boo. Mr. D just steps back and steps out of the ring and drops down to the floor. He backs away a bit more. Red Rayne then turns to the main camera.

Rayne: “Sister….”

Sharper: “Rayne just cut off Aiken!”

Rayne: “You left him for dead. Do you really want to start going down this route? If you want to attack us at our jugulars, you know that when it comes to spilling blood, we are second to none, sister…”

Sharper: “Referring to Rachel Tatum Lee…”

Rayne continues to look at the camera as Aiken watches Rayne.

Rayne: “You may think I’m proud that I will be given this trophy behind me, but I do not care after what you did!”

Rayne turns and just kicks the trophy down before turning right to the camera.

Rayne: “I want something more now…being the dominant force in the Adrenaline Division may no longer be enough. I was even thinking I may speak to someone we’ve not had the chance to have as many close conversations with recently in Ravyn…Simon Lyman would be pushed aside. But no, Rachel….you had to do what you did. I know what you wanted. I know the message and I will give you one in turn. Go after those I care for….”

Aiken then steps in and says something to Rayne. Rayne pulls away.

Rayne: “I will do the same to you…and to the Foxx as well. What do you want me to take FIRST!”

Rayne then throws the microphone down. Aiken then snaps at Rayne before Rayne just slowly turns to Aiken. She then turns and heads to the ropes. She steps through and drops down. Aiken follows her and drops down to the floor. He then looks at Rayne as the two of them start to head to the back. Mr. D just looks on from the ringside area.

Sharper: “Rayne with a clear message…I don’t think we’ve ever heard her speak for that long.”

Knots: “Requiem got to her…Auclair has some sort of relationship there, but did you see Aiken?”

Sharper: “Obviously, Aiken struggling to keep Rayne in check…”

Knots: “Oh God…and just think of what THAT may mean?”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Rayne so frustrated…”

Knots: “Yeah, the trophy. Anyone else would’ve proudly held it over their head. Rayne…she’s pissed off about Auclair? Think about that!”

Rayne and Aiken continue to head to the back and the scene fades to black.

Simon Lyman vs. Alex Young

Alter Bridge’s “Come to Life” begins to play as the entire arena is bathed in gold lighting and the arena is transformed into a place of class and royalty. The lyrics kick in about thirty second into the song, and slowly Alex Young walks out onto the stage looking unimpressed at the fans booing him. He shrugs it off easily and starts heading towards the ring, a confident smirk forming on his lips. He hops up onto the apron and takes a moment to wipe his feet on it before stepping between the ropes. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle and smirks out into the sea of booing fans before hopping down and beginning to warm up for the match ahead.

Sharper: “Alex Young is putting on a confident smile, but he has to be seething after what he felt like highway robbery at Retribution.”

Knots: “It was highway robbery? Dylan Howell stopped Alex Young from being able to stop Simon Lyman from getting the win AND a title shot at the US title.”

Sharper: “Simon Lyman just happens to be Alex Young’s opponent in this upcoming contest. We’re going to see if Alex Young can redeem himself.”

Knots: “Bet your wrinkled buttocks that he will. He’s not going to let this opportunity slip through his fingers, that’s for sure.”

The house lights dim and the opening cymbal crash and riffs to "Tonight" by Seether begins to blare throughout the arena. A buzz can be heard rising through the crowd into cheers as the lyics begin...

I'm not gonna waste this
This opportunity's mine
I'm sick of complaining
About a beautiful life

On the Jumbotron, clips of Simon hitting high impact and high risk moves plays as the song continues, hyping the fans even further

How did we get here?
Did we forget all the things inside?
And how do we stay here?
Do we embrace all the things denied?

As the refrain begins, Simon walks out on stage in awe of the fans reaction to him, his face gradually breaking into a wide smile

I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over, and we're older

When the refrain ends the house lights rise as Simon walks the aisle confidently, slapping hands with fans along the aisle.

While the fans roar, Simon arrives at the ring. Simon takes off his jacket handing it to the time keeper then enters the ring. He goes to each of the corners and climbs to the second turnbuckle while the song continues to play

Like sugar and cyanide
These worlds are gonna collide
I want to yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over, and we're older

As "Tonight" winds down with Simon now in his corner we see a slight smile still on his face looking out into the crowd anticipating the start of the match and the show he will put on for them.

Sharper: “As we alluded prior to his entrance, Simon Lyman earned himself a US title shot at Retribution, proving himself to be the number one contender.”

Knots: “Alex Young might put some doubt to that. If he defeats Simon here tonight, he might put SCW front office in a tough spot.”

Sharper: “At least that is what Alex is hoping. Simon on the other hand is trying to fight his way back to the United States Championship, a belt he holds fond memories off.”

The bell rings, and we are witnesses to a very cautious approach to both competitors in the early going. They circle around in the ring. Alex Young steps forward, his arms sketched out ready for a grapple. Simon Lyman mimics Alex’s intention. Just as the two of them seems to be on the verge of locking up, Alex goes to boot Lyman in the midsection but Lyman darts backwards. Once again we see the two cautious. They keep their hands high as they approach, ready to grapple and count depending on the other. This time Simon Lyman is the aggressor and he jumps in, snatching the head of Alex Young, pulling him down to the side in a headlock. Alex slips out, pressing his strength on the back before grasping the wrist of Simon Lyman, pivoting around to his opponent backside, Alex gets the hammer lock in, placing himself in an advantageous spot. Simon Lyman naturally swings an elbow back but Alex releases the hammer lock and ducks. As Lyman turns around to face Alex, Alex boot him in the gut and delivers a quick DDT.

Sharper: “Both individuals are students of the game, knowns for their technical talents. Both are patient, trying to take their time to find an opportunity.”

Knots: “A little to slow pace for my liking, but I understand, Adam. Lyman is worried that Alex might show up him at his own game.”

Sharper: “I didn’t mean it in that way at all.”

Knots: “I’m just saying what everyone is thinking as per usual.”

Alex lets Simon find his feet before continuing the attack. He elbows Simon square in the chest before dealing a closed fist to the face to the disliking of the referee. Alex pulls Simon into a front facelock, preps a vertical suplex but Simon reads the attempt all the way, blocks it by hooking his foot behind the ankle of Alex. Alex tries to power his way out of the predicament but Simon manages to slip up Alex, capturing in a school boy pin:

1…
2…

Alex explodes out of the pin, caught initially off guard. He hurries to his feet and there’s Simon Lyman with a dropkick to the chest. Alex falls back into the ropes. Simon Lyman charges forward, but Alex lowers his shoulder in time and forces Simon Lyman up and over. Simon saves himself from danger by clinging on the top rope and bring himself back down safely on the apron. Alex steps away to catch his breath, not realizing Simon didn’t crash and burn to the outside. Simon Lyman grabs a hold of the top rope, propels himself over the ring, lands on the second rope and then delivers a dropkick to Alex, blindsiding him with the impact.

Sharper: “Simon Lyman manages a surprise attack on Alex Young, he seems to be one step ahead of Alex every move so far in this match.”

Knots: “I didn’t even know Simon had such lucha style attacks in his arsenal.”

Sharper: “Simon Lyman is a student of the game, what more of an explanation do you need? You might underrate the man but he’s talented through and through.”

Knots: “I take more issue to his personality, specifically his lack of balls.”

Sharper: “I somehow find some hypocrisy in that statement.”

Knots: “Is your blood sugar low tonight? I know people your age suffer from diabetes and lack of sex drive.”

As the announcers get into it over at the commentary booth, Simon Lyman continues on the offensive. He drops an elbow down upon the downed Alex Young. He drops another and another. Finally Alex Young rolls to the ropes, hiding from the strikes from his opponent. He pulls himself up using the ropes. Simon steps in with a knee to the midsection and opens up with a chop across the chest of Alex Young. Young yells in pain as he stumbles away from Lyman. Lyman comes running up behind Young, delivering a bulldog from behind. He shoves Alex over and hooks the leg:

1…
2…

Alex Young shoots the shoulder up.

Shaper: “Simon Lyman with the second pin attempt of the match, and things are going well for him so far in this contest.”

Knots: “Wake up, Young! This is your opportunity! This is your chance! Come on and smell the coffee!”

Simon Lyman leads Alex to his feet before grapping his arm and driving his shoulder into Alex’s midsection. He wraps his arms then around the torso of his opponent and lifts for a Northren Lights suplex. However, Alex drives an elbow down to the back of the head of the Simon. The crowd boos viciously at the dirty blow and the referee warns Alex about such contact. Alex knocks off the weakened grasp of his opponent before driving his knee into the side of Simon’s skull, who is staggered by the cheap shot. Simon Lyman stumbles away. Young chases him down, hoisting Simon up onto shoulder before dropping him down onto his knee, Lyman’s gut crashing onto the point of the joint. Lyman grasps for air as if the drop knocked the wind out of him, and Alex Young finishes his offensive flurry with a belly-to-belly suplex, placing Simon down hard in the center of the ring. Young hooks the leg and goes for the pin:

1…
2…

Simon shoots his shoulder up.

Knots: “Alex Young has finally gotten the ball rolling, Adam. I think it’s going to be hard to stop him now. Momentum is on his side.”

Sharper: “I wouldn’t argue. Alex has turned the tide in his match and has hurt Simon Lyman. He has Simon within his gasp, even if he had to use some cheap tricks to get that far.”

Knots: “All well that ends well.”

Sharper: “I don’t think that saying could be applied here. Definitely since this match hasn’t ended yet.”

Alex brings his elbow down once upon the throat of Simon before leading him up. Alex steps in, whipping his arm up, connecting with an European uppercut. He delivers another uppercut, driving force underneath Simon’s jaw, knocking Simon back into the ropes. Alex whips him towards the ropes, Simon Lyman runs and rebounds. Alex prepares but Simon sidesteps. Alex turns and there’s a Change in Attitude by Simon Lyman, laying Alex Young across the ring. The pin:

1…
2…
3-

Alex Young shoots his shoulder up. Simon Lyman looks up at the referee and then back down to Alex Young.

Sharper: “We’re seeing the tenacity of Alex Young here, he hasn’t gone down despite the fact that once again Simon Lyman has outpaced him in this contest.”

Knots: “It’s an issue of pride at this point. Young refuses to accept Simon’s the better man. He knows he deserves that US title shot more than anyone and he’s not going to give up right here.”

Simon Lyman stalks Alex Young from behind as Young battles to his feet. Young looks around for Simon, Simon clubs him on the upper back before turning him around, and lifting him up onto his shoulders for a power bomb. Young drives a thumb to the eye, followed by a hammer fist to the face. Simon begins to stumble back as Young slips over his shoulder and hits the Youthanasia on Simon. The crowd viciously boos as Alex Young hooks both legs and pins:

1…

2…

3!

Simon Lyman kicks out after a second, but it’s too late. The referee calls for the bell as “Come to Life” plays over the speaks. Young rolls out of the ring and falls to the outside, but the camera shows a smile upon his face.

Knots: “He did it! All those haters doubted him, and Alex Young proved that he should be the one getting that title shot, not Simon Lyman.”

Sharper: “Simon Lyman had Alex Young dead to rites but could not close the deal, and now Simon Lyman must be feeling pretty down about the result of this match. “

Knots: “What isn’t he down on? That’s right, you don’t know what twitter is.”

Sharper: “Simon Lyman has suffered tough loss here tonight while Alex Young is no doubt joyed that he found a way to win.”

We cut backstage to see Chris Cannon walking through the backstage area. The crowd cheers seeing him. He takes a few more steps before going over to one of the drink stations backstage and grabbing a cup and then we see Lucas Knight walk up to him and pat him on the back. The crowd boos seeing him. We then see Trinity Street walk over to him too.

Cannon: “What do you two want?”

Lucas: “Oh you know…we lived up to our deal.”

Cannon: “Lucas-“

Trinity: “Trust me, Chris. You don’t want us to be an enemy of Kelcey. You know what we want.”

Cannon: “You’ve got the Trios Tournament contracts-“

Lucas: “We do…but we have to deal with CHBK regarding that first and then we’ll feel safer about using them. That’s next week. But Trinity likes back-up plans.”

Trinity: “Especially with that slippery asshole. Chris…”

Cannon: “Yeah….”

Lucas: “Good.”

Lucas and Trinity then turn and walk off. Cannon just looks down, leaning on the table. He just sighs as we cut away.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage to see Marisa Condolesa in the backstage area. We see Brittany Lohan, in her street clothes, wearing a leather jacket, standing next to her as the crowd gives a mixed reaction.

Condolesa: “I am here backstage with Brittany Lohan and Brittany, you made it clear you were going to be here tonight. There are also rumours that Silas Mason has actually released you from your contract with him?’

Brittany: “It’s not a rumour. It’s reality. It seems that when Silas Mason gets really pissed off, he does things out of the ordinary and I am now free to do as I wish, with only a few problems. But that means one thing. I don’t need anyone else to do my bidding. Ransom…I appreciate what you did in the run-up to Retribution, but you didn’t get the job done…and I’m now going to. Angelica, you want me one on one. I’ve wanted that for months. Now, there’s nothing standing in our way! Name the time and place, Angelica. Because now, I want to just do one thing and that’s beat the hell out of you.”

Brittany Lohan then turns and walks off. Condolesa turns to the camera.

Condolesa: “The challenge laid down. Angelica Waters, we await your response!”

We then cut back to ringside.

Havoc Warrior Exodus vs. Craig Thomas

“Adrenaline” by Shinedown begins blasting through the arena as blue and yellow lights pulse rapidly in an alternating fashion on the stage. As the opening guitar riffs of the song come to an end, blue and yellow pyro goes off on stage, and when the lyrics start Tyler Tucker excitedly leaps through the smoke and starts getting the fans amped up for the impending match. Right behind him is Craig Thomas with a rare smile on his face as he puts an arm around Tyler’s shoulders and points out to the cheering fans. When the song hits the chorus they both break into a full sprint down the ramp and simultaneously slide into the ring. They go to climb opposite corners and point out at the fans before climbing down and going to pose in the center of the ring, Tyler sliding onto his knees in front of Craig and extending his arms with a big smile as Craig puts a calming hand on his friend’s head, the smile now leaving his face as his usual emotionless expression takes over. Craig helps Tyler to his feet and the friends convene to their corner to discuss strategy for the match ahead.

Sharper: “Adrenaline Rush is fresh off a victory on the night of Retribution, though the match ended in an interesting fashion.”

Knots: “Yeah, Stacy Kissinger did what she does best, try to get a guy to be her dog, only to be the reason for why such a lovely pairing has broken up. Stacy and Derek were perfect for one another! Everyone could see that!”

Sharper: “I don’t know what you’ve been drinking Jonathan, but keep it to yourself.”

Tyler Tucker heads out of the ring now and just stands at ringside, right by his partner’s corner.

Sharper: “Anyways, Craig Thomas is about to have his second singles match here in SCW and it is against someone who was able to live through the onslaught of Aiken Frost’s girls attacking him.”

Knots: “Even though he lost some of his vision.”

Sharper: “He still fought through it and came out the other side.”

The arena settles into a quiet darkness, broken only by the murmurs of anticipation. Synchronized green, blue and white lights pulse to the opening notes of "Prepare for Attack" by Havoc. They beat continuously to the song’s tempo, blurring together when the biting guitar riff picks up speed under the main chords. A pyro effect is timed to go off as soon as the drums go into a full-throttled double kick, followed by smaller, fiery white explosions for each chord change. Meanwhile, the words “Cry 'Havoc!', and “let slip the dog of war” flash on the screen in the same colors as the pulsing lights.

It is at this point that Exodus makes his way past the curtain and onto the ramp. He screams and extends his chest while the fire forms the pyro and the cheers of the crowd explode around him. With a determined look on his face and drive behind his steps, he makes his way down towards the arena, running down the ramp. He ignores the camera and the fans during his march to the ring, not out of callousness, but because they are fleeting; his energy is channeled towards the impending combat. With his eyes fixated on the ring, he climbs on the apron and tugs the rope before entering.

He immediately runs the length of the ring to the opposite turnbuckle and climbs it, raising his hands into the air and holding his head back for a moment, absorbing the cries of approval from the crowd before beating his chest and letting out another roar. He jumps down and makes his way to the opposite corner and repeats this ritual, before finally heading into his own corner and pacing it, like a wild beast looking over at the opposition known as Craig Thomas, while awaiting the ring of the bell.

Both men look ready so the referee calls for the bell. Both go at one another in an aggressive manner, which leads to a collar-and-elbow tie-up in the near center of the ring. Both take turns in the good side and bad side of the tie-up, before they separate. They both throw some shots at one another before Exodus is able to dodge one of Craig’s. Exodus ducks down and grabs at one of Craig’s legs, before being able to grab the other one. He hoists Craig up, but Craig begins to deliver some shots to the head of Exodus. Exodus however absorbs those and releases Craig from his grasp with a standing spinebuster. However Craig doesn’t lie on the mat for more than 2 seconds. Exodus doesn’t even get a chance to cover his opponent.

Craig gets up and grabs Exodus by his waist. He performs a hip toss with some power, but Exodus amazingly lands on his feet. He then clotheslines Craig Thomas off of his feet. Tyler looks panicked outside of the ring.

Sharper: “That just may give Exodus the advantage here. The opening is certainly there.”

Knots: “If Craig loses to Exodus, that would just be embarrassing.”

Sharper: “No it wouldn’t. Both of these men have shown that they’re fighters, especially Exodus.”

Craig begins to get up but Exodus is positioned right where he wants to be. Craig turns around at the wrong time and gets lifted up by Exodus for a suspended suplex. Exodus can’t hold Craig there long though and releases, though he seems to get the desired impact as Craig’s back does bounce hard off the canvas. Exodus swoops in for the first pinfall attempt of the match.

1!

2!

Craig kicks out and the crowd cheers decently well for that, being it means they get to see more action between the two.

Exodus stays on Craig and hooks him up for a German suplex. He holds Craig in position and does a second one before releasing him. Craig is down again on the canvas and Tyler looks worried. He pounds the ring apron, getting really jittery. It’s like Craig hears him though and pulls himself to the nearest corner and begins pulling himself up. Exodus doesn’t give him room to breathe though and runs right to the corner where Craig is, spearing Craig right into the turnbuckle, back first. Craig falls forward and Exodus rolls Craig over, going for a cover.

1!

2!

Craig rolls a shoulder and kicks out at the same time, staying alive in the match-up.

Sharper: “That was almost it right there.”

Knots: “Yeah. Stacy would have lost to Exodus right there. This is why Adrenaline Rush is so much better than Stacy Kissinger. Though then again, everybody is.”

Sharper: “She’s not even in this match.”

Knots: “You make a good point for once Adam.”

Exodus doesn’t get frustrated but does grab for Craig again. He cries out his catchphrase before going to attempt the Exile Driver. But as Exodus has Craig suspended in the air Craig reaches around and falls down Exodus’s back, pulling him down into a package pin attempt.

1!

2!

Exodus just barely kicks out. Both men quickly stand up and the crowd cheers the stare-down.

Sharper: “Whoa, both of them escaped disaster there!”

Knots: “Come on Craig. Finish this one off! Don’t be a loser like someone I know…”

Exodus lurches forward and attempts to grab a somewhat still groggy Craig, but Craig this time blocks the attempt before flipping off Exodus. Exodus looks taken aback and takes offense to Craig’s infamous gesture. He backs up and goes to spear Craig again, but this time when Exodus goes for the spear, Craig gets his knees into the way. Exodus turns his head sideways a little, but lands awkwardly on the mat. Craig quickly pulls Exodus up and drops him with Flipping The Bird as the crowd oohs and ahs.

Knots: “There it is!”

Craig covers Exodus and the referee counts.

1!

2!

3!!!

The referee calls for the bell and “Adrenaline” by Shinedown begins to once again play in the arena. Tyler Tucker rolls into the ring and celebrates with his tag team partner, right after Craig gets off of Havoc Warrior Exodus. Exodus rolls out of the ring after a short bit and it’s once that that happens that a ringside camera catches Stacy Kissinger standing right at the wrestler entrance wearing a sensible blue jean style skirt and a purple blouse, holding up a yellow sign that has big, legible purple letters on it that state “FEEL THE RUSH!” She holds the sign above her head, grinning down at the ring. Craig and Tyler turn and see her and again just stare at her. Stacy, upon seeing them looking at her, turns and walks backstage, leaving the spotlight to Adrenaline Rush to resume celebrating Craig Thomas’s second singles win in SCW.

Knots: “… What is she doing?”

Sharper: “That’s for Stacy to know. Even I’ll admit. She’s a confusing young woman. Nevertheless, Craig Thomas picks up the win here tonight. Another win for Adrenaline Rush.”

We open up backstage to see Jessica Winters with Freddie Collins in the backstage area.

Jessica: “I am here with Freddie Collins, a newcomer here in SCW, but one that hasn’t had much opportunity to make a name for himself.”

The camera focuses off the larger picture and focuses on Freddie Collins and Jessica Winters’ faces.

Jessica: “Is this lack of opportunity bothering you?”

Collins: “Well, I realize I’m a bit new to tha whole thing. I mean, I’ve been talkin’ to some of the people I know here. They told me…I’m a rookie. Not many people wanna face me because they’re worried about me showin’ em up. Not many people want to risk injury too. I get it. But I just want a chance to learn, to train and get the job done. I showed what I could do at End of the Year Special. I got the job done against that Stevenson guy. I can get it done.”

Jessica: “So what chance are you hoping to get? What are you working towards?”

Collins just looks down and smirks.

Collins: “After what she did, I wouldn’t mind a crack at her and see if I can beat her….the Adrenaline Champion!”

Jessica: “Thank you for your time Freddie.”

Collins: “Thanks!”

Collins turns around and starts to go through his stuff as Jessica turns to the camera.

Jessica: “A lot of great new young talent coming up here in SCW. Freddie Collins being one of them. Next week, we’ll see the debut of two more new faces. Andrew Raynes and Amy Chastaine-“

Collins: “Hey…did you see my watch?”

Jessica stops and turns.

Jessica: “Excuse me?”

Collins: “My watch….I had it right here.”

Jessica: “I don’t know…you didn’t have it on.”

Collins: “No…damn…must’ve fallen behind or something.”

Jessica: “I guess…ah….we’ll be back here on Breakdown after this.”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage to see David Helms getting ready for his match against Donovan Kayl. He finishes tying his boots as we then see Regan Street standing in front of him.

Regan: “Ready tonight?”

Helms: “As ready as I’m going to be. Are YOU okay?”

Regan: “No, I’m not. Kennedy’s the World Champion. Trinity tried to screw us over. And Silas still is holding things over our head.”

Helms just looks down, clearly in thought. He then slowly looks up to Regan.

Helms: “You’re not thinking of buying what he’s selling. We’ve seen-“

Regan: “I don’t know. I don’t know if I can handle a world where Kennedy is champion. And she’s already held it longer than me. That’s something I don’t know.”

Helms: “You’ll get your chance-“

Regan: “When? Because right now, I just see what Silas was doing to Kelcey happening to use…just Trinity and Lucas are on the other end and they’ll not hesitate to just straight up end our careers.”

Helms: “You think Silas is going to help us with that?”

Regan: “I don’t know…but what other options do we have.”

Helms: “Look…let’s get through tonight. We’ll go out, have a drink, relax. Just-“

Regan: “I done relaxing David…Just get ready for your match. I need to think.”

Regan turns and walks off.

David: “Regan!”

David just stops and leans back as the scene fades away.

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

Sharper: “Welcome back to ringside here in Richmond. Adam Sharper alongside Jonathan Knots. And it’s been a newsworthy night tonight.”

Knots: “Well we wondered what would happen in the fallout from Retribution. Outside of the fact that Kennedy Street is getting disrespected every moment. Don’t be a meanie to Keenie!”

Sharper: “Well outside of that, we know Matt Auclair is alright, but Red Rayne obviously not happy. We saw Katie Steward return to winning form against Shaya Blackley. Wiseman has been busy tonight.”

Knots: “He’s always busy and the fact that we’ve not see Jake Starr, for example, that makes me nervous. Maybe he’s hunting Wiseman backstage or something. I may then like Starr.”

Sharper: “Well who knows, much to come tonight including Kayl versus Helms-“

Shilo: “NECRO!”

The crowd roars as Sharper stops.

Knots: “Oh God…”

Sharper: “That’s the voice of Shilo Valiant!”

The cameras cut to a wide shot of the arena, trying to locate Shilo Valiant, but we just continue to hear his voice.

Shilo: “HELLO! NECROPHILIACS AND JUNKIES….surprised to hear from me?!”

Shilo pauses again as the crowd roars.

Shilo: “Don’t bother trying to find me, much like Xander, you’re going to struggle as he’s not here….”

The cameras however continue to scan the arena.

Shilo: “No…he’s not here. Although, I can fill you in on what he’ll say. He’ll talk about dominance. He’ll talk about his victory. And he’ll talk about how he’s already run Josh Hudson from SCW, but don’t worry. I’m still here. I think we still need to have our one on one match, but I think it may be like pulling teeth when you already think you’ve won…So what’s next for the Blood-Stained Joker? The question on the tip of your tongues…”

Shilo then laughs a bit as the cameras continue to scan, showing some fans up-close.

Shilo: “Well, there are many other purveyors of crimes against entertainment, but is that really what’s needed? Another policeman? Another finger on the trigger, ready to sentence just because they can…Perhaps I need to cut some of the fat in this company, but is justice the target?”

Shilo laughs a bit more.

Shilo: “Maybe someone has something I want. Maybe someone has a need for the spotlight too. Someone needs to remind themselves and the world what they’re capable of, but do they have the means to do it…”

Shilo pauses.

Shilo: “So many options…so little time…decisions, decisions….”

Shilo can be heard just breathing at this point.

Shilo: “You sure you don’t want another kick at the can, Xander. You sure you wouldn’t want to face me one more time and remove all doubt.”

Shilo can be heard scoffing.

Shilo: “That would require courage. Although it would save someone else. Maybe I don’t want you to…maybe I’ll make things, must-see, again….NECRO!”

The crowd yells out “Necro!” afterwards as the cameras continue to scan.

Knots: “Where the hell is he?”

Sharper: “Well he said-“

Knots: “I heard what he said. He’s got to be here. I heard crying earlier.”

Sharper: “Oh stop it!”

Knots: “What?”

Sharper: “A cryptic message by Shilo Valiant. Was that a challenge to Xander? A warning to everyone else?”

Knots: “Well hopefully he takes out Wiseman anyways.”

Sharper: “I’m sure you’d love that.”

Knots: “Anyone but Keenie! Don’t be a meanie to Keenie!”

Sharper: “Oh lord…”

“Immortals” begins to play. We see the Breakdown logo come up on the screen. We then see a shot of Donovan Kayl and then a shot of David Helms before showing both.

Sharper: “And when we return, our main event. David Helms faces Donovan Kayl, one on one.”

Knots: “Silas will be watching!”

Sharper: “I’m sure he will. That match, it’s next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

David Helms vs. Donovan Kayl

"Epic" by Faith No More starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

Can you feel it
See it
Hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it 'cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass

Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

You want it all but you can't have it

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd, until the second chorus hits...

You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it

Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby. He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head as the crowd showers the ring with streamers, cascading down around him as he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl about to be in another tough match here tonight against David Helms. At Retribution, he challenged Jake Starr.”

Knots: “Yeah challenged and let the whole world down. He took the fight to him. They had a brawl and yet at the end, all those years of experience couldn’t shut Jake Starr up.”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, a very different conflict, at least we assume. Helms and Kayl very respectful to each other throughout the week on Twitter. Both looking forward to this match.”

Knots: “Yeah and showing that they’re idiots. Screw that. Make fun of wives and girlfriends. Make a statement! If they’ve got an ugly kid, make fun of that too!”

The arena's lights cut and the room falls into complete darkness as a buzz spreads through the crowd, the screens suddenly lighting up with one single solitary word...

"BANG!"

As the crowd react, the entire stage lights up with a brilliant white light and the opening riff of an SCW remixed version of "All I Want" by A Day To Remember hits the pa system. The crowd erupt into cheers again as they spot the silhouette of David Helms standing there, his arms held aloft and his hands throwing the Self High Five, all framed by the brilliant white light behind him.

“ALL I WANT IS A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
TO MEND THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO FEELS ALONE
WOAH; YOU KNOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH
BUT YOU HEAD DOWN LOW!”

The intro gives way to the chorus and the lyrics of said chorus flash up on the screen as Helms suddenly jumps into the air and breaks his hands apart, pyrotechnics exploding on either side of the stage as he lands and the house lights raise again as Helms grins at the fans before suddenly bolting towards the ring.

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring from Red Bank New Jersey now fighting out of Santa Monica California; he weighed in earlier tonight at one hundred ninety nine pounds and is an SCW Supreme Champion. Give it up... FOR DAVID HELMS!!!"

Reaching the ring, Helms jumps up and slides under the bottom rope feet first before jumping straight back to his feet and climbing straight to the middle rope of the nearest ring post. He throws his hands up into the Self High Five to another cheer before hopping down and walking towards the closest camera on the outside. He throws his hands into the Self High Five to the camera so that his face is framed by the gap in the middle of his hands. Grinning, he mouths the word "Bang!" into the camera before turning and settling back into the corner to another cheer from the fans as he waits for the start of the match.

Sharper: “Meanwhile a lot has been made about what will happen regarding David Helms and Regan Street. Silas Mason, no real message yet. Throughout the week, he’s been vocal on twitter. Making a lot of announcements.”

Knots: “Well, Helms better get used to picking up trash. Realizing that he’s at the bottom of his career now and Regan may join him. Maybe if he’s lucky, she’ll be just above him to make something nice for him. But Silas Mason is going to make sure the two of them know what cards they have.”

Sharper: “And what are those?”

Knots: “Regan has them all. She just needs to realize Silas Mason will lead her to the promised land. Helms…he should just fold today!”

Helms looks at Kayl and nods. The two of them stretch out and the referee checks on both. They both nod to him and he turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the crowd roars. Helms and Kayl then start to circle the ring.

Sharper: “A big night for these two. Huge match here. Kayl and Helms. Two veterans. Cagey veterans.”

Knots: “Yeah. That’s why they’re both at a crossroads in their career. Experience is only a good thing if you know how to use it. Ask CHBK what that’s like. Or even the crazy one, Trinity. Or Lucas. They show what experience used correctly does!”

Kayl and Helms lunge at one another and lock up in the middle of the ring. Kayl quickly turns into a side headlock. Helms reaches around and Kayl reaches back and spins through and into a hammerlock. Helms grabs down and then up before ducking under and countering into a hammerlock of his own. He then steps forward, into a side headlock before taking Kayl down with a takedown. Kayl quickly goes into a leg scissors. Helms nips out of it and both get up. Helms turns to Kayl and Kayl takes him down with a deep arm drag. He pulls up on the arm. Helms looks out. Kayl pulls back. Helms then starts to slowly pull himself up as Kayl holds on. Helms looks around and reaches around before turning and trying to get his arm free. He then drop down and takes Kayl down with a drop toe hold. He then jumps forward and into a side headlock.

Sharper: “Great chain wrestling by both men. Both looking for any early advantage. These moves, we’ve said many times in the past. You’re not looking for the win. You’re looking to wear down, to frustrate or even to aggravate something, produce an injury.”

Knots: “Yeah. If you see your opponent wince or flinch, you know you got something. But I have a better system to find that out.”

Sharper: “What’s that?”

Knots: “Punch to the throat. Then while they’re struggling to breath, you beat the hell out of them. Create the injury!”

Helms holds on and Kayl starts to get his knees up. The referee checks on Kayl and Kayl then manages to roll him over.

Helms rolls back over. He then pulls back. Kayl kicks the mat. He then starts to pull himself up and get his feet under him. Helms slowly comes up with him. Kayl pulls Helms back to the ropes and then fires him forward. Helms bounces off the ropes. Kayl goes for a clothesline. Helms ducks and bounces off the other side. Kayl then turns and hits a leg lariat. Helms hits the mat. He then gets up and Kayl then gets up and grabs Helms. He turns and goes to whip him into the ropes. Helms spins through and sends Kayl. Kayl bounces off the ropes and Helms jumps up and hits a dropkick. Kayl hits the mat and then rolls over and rolls to the floor. He backs away as the crowd roars. Helms gets up and looks out at the crowd.

Sharper: “Kayl to the floor as Helms drilled him right in the jaw. Nice dropkick.”

Knots: “Waffle him! Just take him out!”

Sharper: “A good show of sportsmanship and respect by David Helms.”

Knots: “Give me a break!”

Helms starts to help Kayl up when suddenly we see a video start to play on the big screen.

We see a shaky video shot before we then see Sienna Swann looking quite stunning standing next to a building and then we see Silas Mason appear.

Silas: “Hey! Dumbass…hope ya won, because then ya might be in a good mood before ya get back there. Ya probably are wonderin’ where I am…well….take a look for yerself.”

Silas then turns the cameraphone to show a building. Helms just slowly gets up and the camera then turns and shows a bunch of people standing outside of it protesting.

Silas: “Oh yeah…and ya can see our friends there…well, yer friends.”

Sienna: “They don’t seem so nice.”

Silas: “Not at all Baby Face. Not at all.”

Silas chuckles.

Silas: “See, I’ve noticed ya’ve been busy outside of the ring and that probably helps explain why ya decided to not bring ya A-game at Retribution and in the process force me to have to rethink a few things. Now, yer lucky because even though yer clearly no longer as advertised, Baby Cat may be seein’ the light and realizin’ that I’m even better than ya for a support system and gettin’ her a World Title shot. But just to make sure that ya don’t mess with me anymore there Old man…”

Silas turns the camera and shows the protesters.

Silas: “Aint it a wonderful sight…”

Silas turns the camera to him.

Silas: “Amazin’ what happens when ya tell a few people that the start wrestlers’ wrasslin’ school is bringin’ in convicted criminals and trainin’ em. I think I even see the news fans…”

We cut to a shot in the arena to see Kayl getting up, but Helms just looking at the big screen, looking down, clearly trying to hide his anger.

Silas just laughs.

Silas: “Don’t screw with me…ya screwed with me at Retribution. And I know ya want out of ya contract…But if ya want out, I’m gonna make sure I leave a mark this time.”

Silas then turns to the crowd before yelling.

Silas: “I just heard that one of em they’re trainin’ is a damned murderer. Gang banger type. Come on! Let em hear it. Get these violent bastards outta here!”

Silas chuckles as a roar can be heard and Silas turns to the camera again.

Silas: “Checkmate Helms…don’t screw with me.”

Silas then ends the video.

We open up in the arena.

Sharper: “I don’t believe it.”

Knots: “Ha! Well there goes Helms’ dream!”

Sharper: “It’s just not Helms. Helms and Tommy Valentine opened this school. They just officially launched their twitter a few days ago. They just got off the ground and Silas pulls this?!”

Helms exits the ring and starts to head to the back. Kayl just watches from the ring as Helms storms up the rampway, clearly pissed off. He then heads to the back. We then cut to the announce table and see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

Sharper: “David Helms just had a hell of a match with Donovan Kayl. A hell of a win and then Silas Mason pulls this.”

Knots: “Seems like he’s been busy. Not like Rachel Frost, but just as effective.”

Sharper: “Silas Mason and Sienna Swann clearly at Santa Barbara at the new Ante Up Academy.”

Knots: “Oh God…well it just got Anted up. The stakes got higher!”

Sharper: “And meanwhile, while that video was shocking, I’m wondering how it was played. Merrick Wiseman was back there. He’s already shown some desire to use the capability of the truck.”

Knots: “Don’t remind me. Kennedy Street was screwed by that. He should’ve sat back and screwed off!”

Sharper: “Well, despite that, not everyone agrees with you or Kennedy and well….”

Knots: “And that’s their loss. She’s the World Champion and deserves the respect that deserves. She is the best wrestler in SCW. Period!”

Sharper: “We have some footage.”

Knots: “Is it of Kennedy?”

Sharper: “No-“

Knots: “Sienna? Hell, I’ll take watching her some more. She’s a future star”!

Sharper: “Just roll it. We know why the hell that video was even broadcast! This was just before the end of the Helms/Kayl match!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

MOMENTS AGO:

We open up outside of the production truck to see a cameraman standing from the entrance of the production truck. We see Merrick Wiseman and Angelica Jones trading blows on the ground. Angelica falls back to a nearby wall. Merrick heads over to her and grabs her, but Angelica reaches up and rakes his eyes and then turns and throws him face first into the wall. She then kicks him in the ribs and then again and again.

Angelica: “Go! Take care of it!”

Angelica then kicks Merrick again, but Merrick blocks the next shot, holding her leg and trying to grab her. We then see the cameraman turn as B.Real runs up the steel steps.

B.Real: “Yo there. Give tha deets to da guy in there. Get it done. Ya hear? C’mon. Do it, yeah?”

B.Real hands a flash drive to the cameraman and pushes him back. The cameraman takes it and then lifts the camera back as we see Merrick nailing Angelica Jones before B.Real runs over and kicks him in between the legs. Merrick falls over and down to his knees as Angelica just gets up and laughs. B.Real and her head off.

Knots: “Ha! Even got a shot in!”

Sharper: “Obviously, another parting blow against Merrick Wiseman by Angelica Jones. Good lord…”

We then open up in the live shot of the announce team to see Adam Sharper shaking his head. “Criticize” then starts to play.

Sharper: “Oh no.”

Knots: “Yes!”

Kennedy Street’s music plays as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “I guess we’re going to be joined by the World Champion. We’re taking our last commercial break. We’ll see what this means…next….”

Knots: “Don’t go anywhere. Remember that Keenie will give the world exactly what they want!”

Sharper: “Uh-huh…”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring. Her music continues to play in the background. Maximilian stands at the ringside area at the end of the entrance way. Ethan von Aaron stands in the ring, covered in rose petals as Carlos walks around Kennedy in a circle, throwing rose petals around her.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. The SCW World Champion is in the ring.”

Knots: “Shhh! Shut up. Don’t ruin this moment with your yammering!”

Kennedy Street stands proudly in the middle of the ring, the SCW World Championship around her waist. She looks around as the crowd boos her. Ethan has a microphone in his hand and looks out at the crowd.

Ethan: “Now all of you fans of Supreme Championship Wrestling, be quiet and listen to the first OFFICIAL edict of your new World Champion…the woman who is the TRULY best female wrestler in the world! The most deserving World Champion in wrestling history….The SEXY…FLAWLESS….DIVA….”

The crowd just continues to boo more and more.

Ethan: “KENNEDY….STREET!”

Ethan looks around before handing the microphone to Kennedy Street. Kennedy takes the microphone and smiles smugly before starting to speak.

Kennedy: “Now this is what I deserve, even if it is just a small consolation from the horrid treatment I received to start this show. What is closing out Breakdown tonight….it’s not my cousin Regan….it’s not Silas’ World. Not Perfection. Not a chair swinging freak…and sure as hell not So Totally Syren! It’s the woman that everyone wants to see and be, Keenie!”

Kennedy chuckles a bit.

Kennedy: “And despite the fact that no one backstage seems to appreciate what I do…I save lives…I bring in ratings by getting things done…and I don’t mind looking good while I do it. Now, after a year of deserving this title, I can stand here and make it clear to everyone that it should’ve been around my beautiful, sexy, flawless waist a year ago. But I never got the respect or the opportunity. And even Syren sat there and for weeks, calling me out and challenging me to prove I earned it. Did I make my case well enough, Syren?”

The crowd boos as Kennedy looks right into the main camera.

Kennedy: “Did I?”

Kennedy then looks down at the SCW World Championship around her waist.

Kennedy: “I think I made it clear enough. And now, I hold all of the cards. I’m making all of the money. I’m the SCW World Champion and trust me, I don’t care about competition. I just care about holding this title until the end of my beautiful, Hall of Fame worthy career. I don’t care what contracts you have and I don’t care how much you hate me. Why? Everyone loves Keenie….and me as SCW Champion…the world’s a better place.”

Just then “Groupie” starts to play. The crowd roars with cheers. Kennedy turns to the entrance way as Ethan turns and storms over to the ropes.

Kennedy: “Maximilian…stop her!”

Sharper: “Syren’s music playing here in Richmond. This crowd coming alive.”

Knots: “Turn it off. Turn that crap off. This is Keenie’s moment. Don’t be a Meanie to Keenie!”

Sharper: “Kennedy getting ready to take on the former Champion!”

“Groupie” continues to play as Maximilan cracks his knuckles. Kennedy keeps watching the entrance way, as does Ethan von Aaron. The two keep watching before Kennedy stops and looks around. Kennedy steps back and starts to look into the crowd. She turns and looks out all over before we then see Syren running down one of the pathways in the crowd. Kennedy turns to Ethan and points. Just then, we see not Syren, but Jake Starr storm out from the back with Brandon Evans and Thoren Holt. Starr has the chair in his hand and Kennedy turns and looks at him. She then motions to Ethan there.

Knots: “What the hell is he doing here?”

Sharper: “Starr? And he’s got the damn chair!”

Knots: “Keenie! Run!”

Syren hops the guardrail. She then slides into the ring. Kennedy turns around, remembering Syren is on her way and Syren runs at her and clotheslines her down. The crowd erupts in cheers. Thoren runs at Maximilian and gets nailed with a hard right before he nails Brandon coming in. Starr then nails him in the ribs with the chair. Maximilian winces and he grabs at Starr, but Starr nails him in the ribs. Maximilian drops to a knee and Thoren and Brandon get up and start to hammer away on him. Syren turns ot Kennedy and nails her with a series of hard rights as Kennedy gets up. Syren just grabs at her and nails her again as Ethan looks back and forth. He then turns and drops down to stop Starr. Starr turns to Ethan as he pulls the chair up. Maximilian battles with Brandon and Thoren as Starr turns and nails Ethan in the ribs with the chair. He falls back. Syren grabs at the title belt of Kennedy. Kennedy grabs at it before Syren pulls it off. She tosses it aside. Kennedy rolls over and tries to get away, but Syren grabs her by the hair and pulls her up before then kicking her in the ribs. Kennedy keeps fighting, but Syren forces her down with the Total Makeover. The crowd erupts in cheers. Kennedy hits the mat and rolls over.

Knots: “No! Come on!”

Sharper: “Total Makeover. Syren gets it tonight. And Carlos is just looking at it all. He’s out of her way.”

Knots: “And Starr now coming to her!”

Kennedy rolls over as Syren turns and looks at Carlos who has just been in the corner the entire time. She just sighs as Kennedy takes this opportunity to roll out of the ring. She falls over and down to the floor, holding her head in pain and falling to the barricade. Jake Starr however rolls into the ring. He does go after Kennedy and instead just looks at Syren who turns back to him. Starr just smirks and looks at her. They both then glance at the World Championship.

Sharper: “Starr in the ring.”

Knots: “Thank God! Not going after Keenie!”

Sharper: “Both are looking at the World Title. Syren drops Kennedy. Starr has the chair!”

Syren then turns back to Starr, eying the chair. Starr then turns and lunges at her and swings towards her head. Syren dives out of the way. She moves back to the ropes and starts to slowly get up. Starr just laughs a bit as Carlos takes this opportunity to grab the World Title and exit the ring. He scurries around to Kennedy on the floor.

Knots: “Starr went after Syren!”

Sharper: “These two worked together a few months ago…Starr just tried to take her head off!”

The crowd boos Starr as Syren looks at Starr. Syren then keeps watching him while watching Maximilian. Holt and Evans move away from Maximilian to go to the ring. Syren looks around as Starr keeps holding the chair up. Kennedy starts to slowly get up and stagger off, joined by a pained Ethan von Aaron and Maximilian who just starts to head to the ring, enraged. Kennedy continues to the back as the scene fades to black…
