Breakdown - March 29, 2017

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Minneapolis as Breakdown is on the air. Adam Sharper here at ringside with Shawn Winters and tonight, a huge main event as Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost will meet.”

Winters: “They’re going to be facing each other later tonight, but right now, they’re in the ring with Mr. D.”

We cut to the ring to see Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost dressed in their wrestling attire, complete with their entrance attire. They stand across from one another with Mr. D standing between them.

Mr. D: “Kelcey Wallace…..Selena Frost…I want to take a moment to thank you for joining me here in this ring to open Breakdown. Later tonight, right here in Minneapolis, we will see the two of you battle in your long awaited rematch that both of you requested and arranged.”

The crowd cheers as Kelcey and Selena both continue to watch one another.

Sharper: “That should be a barnburner.”

Winters: “2016 saw Selena Frost defeated Kelcey Wallace twice. Kelcey Wallace is hoping 2017 is a much better yet.”

Sharper: “Better attitude for her to say the least.”

Mr. D: “But I also know that you both had preferred this match to have a bit more riding on it as prior to Vixen Cain’s stunning title victory, I had indeed agreed in a meeting between Selena and I to make this match for the World Championship. That, of course, is not possible anymore.”

The crowd boos a bit. Mr. D just smirks a bit.

Mr. D: “Trust me, I share the sentiment.”

Mr. D pauses for a moment as Selena just nods as Kelcey Wallace looks around, mouthing “me too.”

Mr. D: “Vixen Cain has taken it upon himself to name who won’t be getting a shot, naming Kelcey Wallace as one, while also seemingly playing head games with Selena Frost. But as it stands, at Broken Beliefs, Vixen Cain has not yet been named an opponent to challenge him for the SCW World Championship.”

The crowd roars a bit as Kelcey and Selena both nod, anticipating what is coming.

Mr. D: “That’s why I have you both out here. Selena, you certainly more than deserve an opportunity to regain the World Championship that you lost. Kelcey, you have waited a long time for this, but your actions especially in the last six months have made clear that you are competing at a high level and equally deserve it. Therefore, later tonight, your match against each other will be to determine who will challenge for the World Championship and Vixen Cain at Broken Beliefs!”

The crowd cheers.

Mr. D: “Good luck to both of you!”

Mr. D steps back. Kelcey Wallace looks at Mr. D and nods as Selena Frost steps forward and extends her hand. Kelcey shakes it in return and the two hold each other’s arms up. Selena then lets go and steps towards the ropes. Kelcey just looks at her as the crowd roars a bit. Kelcey just looks around as Selena plays to the crowd a bit. Selena then turns around and Kelcey nods.

Sharper: “Tonight! Main event! Number One Contendership to the SCW World Championship! Selena Frost and Kelcey Wallace!”

Winters: “And look at Wallace. She was looking at Selena there at the end.”

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace watching her opponent. Selena Frost happy about the opportunity. What will happen later tonight?!”

Winters: “And what will Vixen Cain have to think about it?”

Kelcey steps through the ropes and down to the floor. Selena Frost remains in the ring. We then cut backstage.

Backstage, we open up to see Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area with Ethan von Aaron. The crowd boos seeing Ethan. Ethan looks up and around, clearly annoyed by the crowd response.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Ethan von Aaron, the former manager of Kennedy Street-“

Ethan: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don’t need to start this off with lies and fabrications!”

Jessica: “She fired you two weeks ago. And then you seemed to have forged her signature!”

Ethan: “We are merely having a disagreement but a good manager, no matter the circumstances will do what is best for their client. I may not be paid by Keenie, per se, but let’s face it, I have her best interests at heart and that is why I ensured she didn’t agree to those insulting terms that SCW offered. And now, we see that all SCW did was promptly ignore those best wishes before then flashing out blood money, an Adrenaline Championship match that she should not be in the running for!”

Jessica: “Wait…are you saying that she didn’t deserve that title shot-“

Ethan looks at Jessica Winters disgusted.

Ethan: “How dare you put words in my mouth?! I did not say any such thing! I said she should not be in the running for that match because the only title that should be around Kennedy Street’s waist is the SCW World Championship. That’s what she is. The WORLD Champion. But SCW continued to insult her, throwing something shiny at her just to make her happy, when let’s face it, the deal she signed for…it was a joke. How much is Kelcey Wallace being paid? Selena Frost? Blake Mason? Mason has a jet! A jet! And Keenie has to ride in coach! She should have her own private jet…a bus….whatever they have and a World Title shot!”

Jessica: “Blake Mason’s jet is his own personal property from his family’s wealth and-“

Ethan then turns and walks off before heading off camera.

Ethan: “Hey! Hey you! Listen to me! I’m the manager of your most important roster member!”

The camera turns as we see Mr. D walking past the interview area, returning from the ring. Ethan heads over to him.

Mr. D: “Ethan-“

Ethan: “I want you to void that pathetic contract that you offered Kennedy and you reconsider it, add a zero and give her a World Championship match-“

Mr. D: “Ethan…you don’t represent her and she agreed to the offer-“

Ethan: “Because you’ve ruined her with this pathetic redemption tour when she is above all of that. You’re trying to change her to lowball her and I will always ensure her best interests at heart!”

Mr. D: “Ethan…”

Mr. D just ignores him and walks off.

Ethan: “Hey! I’m talking to you! Don’t walk away from me!”

Ethan storms after Mr. D as they both go off camera. The scene then slowly fades to commercials.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and we see Mr. D walking over to his office with Ethan von Aaron still bothering him.

Ethan: “I’m not just going to go away. We’re having a disagreement, but I still have her best interests-“

Mr. D: “Ethan!”

Mr. D turns to him.

Mr. D: “She fired you. You are not her manager. As far as I’m concerned, I am not going to listen to you. Nor am I going to not reward her for what she’s done. It’s not some con, it’s because she’s proven to be a damn good wrestler instead of simply relying on her name recognition. That’s why she’s getting a second chance at the Adrenaline Title at Broken Beliefs.”

Ethan: “That is a con!”

Mr. D: “No Ethan…it’s someone finally realizing that they’re better than whatever crap you convince them of.”

Mr. D then turns and steps into his office. He closes the door. Ethan just looks at the door before turning and walking off.

Jinn vs. Jake Starr

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

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

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

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

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

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP...

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

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a Television Championship Eliminator match. First, on his way to the ring, from Des Moines, Iowa, he is the Only Social Misfit Remaining, Jake Starr!”

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

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

Sharper: “Jake Starr making his way to the ring. Starr has been on quite the roll lately and you’d be a fool to think he isn’t looking to continue that momentum.”

Winters: “Yeah Starr currently has a Trios contract available. I am sure he is looking to add the Television Championship to his already impressive resume.”

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

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

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

Sharper: “Starr’s opponent is a relative newcomer who has already made waves in a short time here in SCW.”

Winters: “Just as Starr will be looking to continue his wave of success, you can’t count Jinn out, as I am sure he will be looking to continue making a name for himself.”

The ref calls for the bell. Starr and Jinn meet in the middle and go for the tie up, but Starr drives his knee into Jinn’s midsection. He backs him into the ropes and goes to whip him, but Jinn reverses it then connects with a dropkick sending Starr over the top rope. Starr holds on and lands feet first on the apron. Jinn leaps, pressing his feet into the turnbuckle and goes for another dropkick, but Starr dunks it. Jinn lands on the mat, as Starr rolls back inside. Starr lifts Jinn up and drops him with a Northern Lights suplex.

Sharper: “Starr started bringing the fight to Jinn early. Jinn managed to turn the tide fairly quickly, but the veteran Starr regained control even quicker.”

Starr lifts Jinn up and whips him into the corner. Starr charges, but Jinn gets the boot up just in time. Starr stumbles out of the corner, holding his jaw. Jinn climbs to the top rope and leaps into the air. Starr turns around and barely manages to connect with a European uppercut. The crowd ohs as Starr drops to the mat and hooks the leg.

Winters: “I am not sure what Jinn was going for when he went to the top rope but something tells me that things didn’t out the way he had hoped.”

Jinn kicks out. Starr picks Jinn off of the mat, but Jinn hits a shot to the ribs, causing Starr to double over. Jinn hooks Starr and leaps up, planting Starr with a tornado DDT. Jinn then climbs onto the ropes, scouting Starr. He then leaps and connects with shooting star press into a leg drop. The crowd cheers upon impact. Jinn then hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Jinn regaining control and seems to have turn the tide into his favor.”

Starr shoots the shoulder up!!!

Jinn hits a few elbows to the side of Starr’s head before returning to the corner. As he climbs, Starr manages to get to his feet. Jinn turns to face Starr, who runs up and meets him. Both men begin to exchange punches for Starr manages to gain the upperhand. Starr hooks Jinn and drops him with a superplex. Starr maintains his grip, standing with Jinn and plants him with a vertical suplex. Starr then hooks the leg.

Jinn shoots the shoulder up. Starr lifts Jinn off of the mat, but Jinn fires away with a European uppercut, which staggers Starr. Jinn runs up and drives Starr to the mat with a hurricanrana. Jinn hooks the leg.

Starr kicks out. Jinn gets to his feet and waits for Starr. Starr gets to his feet only to turn into the Interface. The crowd ohs upon impact. Jinn points to the top rope earning himself some cheers as Starr lies somewhat motionless in the ring. Jinn ascends to the top rope.

Sharper: “Back and forth action with both of these men. Jinn showing he can hang with the big dogs in the company here tonight. Does he have it in him to beat the multiple time SCW Champion in Jake Starr?”

Winters: “Both men want that shot at the Television Championship. Jinn has brought the fight to Starr, but I don’t think you can count Starr out just yet. I’ve been in the ring with Starr. I know that it takes a lot more to put him down. If Jinn wants it, he is going to have to dig a little deeper.”

Jinn looks down at Starr before leaping into the air, earning himself some “awe” from the crowd as he goes for the Wishmaker. After the last rotation, just in the nick of time, Starr rolls out of the way. Jinn crashes and burns into the mat as the crowd now “ohs” when he hits, his head and neck snapping back. Starr pushes himself up from the mat and grabs Jinn, who appears to be struggling.

Sharper: “Jinn dug down deep but it cost him.”

Starr hooks Jinn and plants him with a sit-out front suplex. Starr then makes his way over to the top rope and climbs up. He salutes the crowd before leaping into the air and hitting the Falling Starr. The crowd erupts in cheers. Starr hooks the leg.

3!!!

The ref calls for the bell. Starr gets to his feet as the crowd cheers louder. The ref holds Starr’s hand up in victory.

Winters: “Starr manages to put Jinn away, earning himself a shot as the Television Championship. Another huge win for Starr here tonight.”

Sharper: “But as you said, Jinn showed that he could hold his own with one of the SCW’s finest. Jinn may have lost here tonight, but he showed that he could have a bright future.”

We see Eric Teufel pacing outside of his locker room, going back and forth.

Teufel: “Alright…just, he’ll be okay. Lord…need to find someone less annoyed by the trivial. We knew this would be an issue-“

Teufel stops and as he turns and looks up as Akira Kimura walks over to him. Teufel smiles a bit.

Kimura: “Mr. Teufel…I have come here to speak to Mr. Voigt.”

Teufel: “Come in Akira. This is a great occasion. Come on in.”

Teufel smiles as he knocks on the door.

Teufel: “Torsten…we have a guest!”

We hear some rumbling from inside before the door opens and Torsten looks out. He immediately stops and looks at Akira Kimura.

Voigt: “Come in.”

Voigt then looks at Eric Teufel as he happily enters and Kimura walks in with him as the door closes behind him.

COMMERCIALS

Gable Winchester walks backstage as he takes a few steps. The crowd cheers seeing him. He continues down the hallway before heading over to Autumn Valentine who is grabbing a water from catering.

Gable: “Uh…hey.”

Autumn looks over, a bit coldly.

Autumn: “Hey.”

Gable: “Just wanted to…uh…thank you for last week. Could’ve been left alone, but-“

Autumn: “I wasn’t going to let them have that over you…and plus, we had a lot of history with them. Just disappointed we couldn’t win.”

Gable: “I know the last couple of months haven’t gone as planned for you.”

Autumn scoffs a bit.

Autumn: “A bit of an understatement.”

Gable: “Look, I don’t know if you want to, but we could try to put all of the crap behind us and focus on the Tag Titles again.”

Autumn: “You don’t need to use your Trios-“

Gable: “To actually earn them. To build things back up, for you, for me…for both of us.”

Autumn just looks at Gable.

???: “We’d take you up on that.”

Autumn and Gable turn and we see Dawn Lohan walking over to Autumn and Gable with Tommy Valentine. Tommy and Autumn look at one another and share a nod.

Autumn: “Take us up on-“

Dawn: “You want to rebuild. Bounce back. We’re looking to move on from PUNK HAZARD. Friendly match.”

Gable turns to Autumn.

Gable: “I’d be in.”

Autumn: “Look, I don’t know-“

Dawn: “Think about it. We’ll be around.”

Autumn just nods. Dawn and Tommy then head off. Gable turns to Autumn.

Gable: “Think about it…okay?”

Autumn just looks at Gable as the scene fades out.

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

The crowd boos as “G.O.A.T.” by CFO$ featuring Will Roush plays throughout the arena. The boos continue as after a few moments we see Blake Mason walk out from the back with Bree Lancaster. Blake Mason has a document in his hand as he looks around the arena.

Sharper: “Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster will be in action later when they get a chance to get some revenge, in their eyes, against Donovan Kayl and Shaun Cruze.”

Winters: “But what does he have in his hand!”

Sharper: “Some sort of document it looks like.”

Mason and Lancaster walk down the rampway and over to the ring. Mason walks up the steel steps before helping Lancaster up them. Mason holds the ropes open for Lancaster as she enters the ring. Mason then enters. The boos continue as Lancaster looks around and smiles before Mason goes to the corner and asks for a microphone. He’s handed one and he returns to the middle of the ring. He looks around, straightening out the piece of paper in his hand as he continues to look at the crowd that is showering their disdain about the B&B Experience.

Blake: “For those of you who follow SCW Corporate, you’ll have noticed a recent release and one that even our official twitter account had some fun with….at Broken Beliefs, Donovan Kayl is going to greet his good buddy Simon Lyman in a one on one match as Lyman returns from his stroke!”

The crowd cheers. Blake looks around and shakes his head.

Blake: “Meanwhile, SCW won’t allow me to face Simon and put him out of his misery, even on his terms! I was doing the man a favour. He wants to face me. I’m a good guy! I’m just giving him what he wants!”

The crowd boos.

Blake: “He wants me to piledrive him. He wants the opportunity to piledrive me. Wouldn’t happen anyways, but SCW says Simon needs to cleared on a case by case basis…”

The crowd boos some more as Bree shakes her head, supporting her fiancé.

Blake: “And then there’s Donovan Kayl…”

The crowd cheers.

Blake: “Don’t cheer him. You’re cheering someone who assaulted me. We heard all of the talks about gang attacks months ago. THAT was a gang attack. Conspired by Kelcey Wallace, with Shawn Mason and Shaun Cruze. They assaulted me, three on one. They lured me into a trap. They tried to end my career!”

The crowd boos more as Blake Mason looks out at the crowd and glares at them.

Blake: “Now I may be able to get a measure of revenge when Bree and I take on Shaun and Donovan later tonight, but let’s be clear, they deserve a far more personal experience and their cowardice is clear. Last week, I challenged Donovan Kayl, but because he’d rather take on a stroke victim…what kind of man is that….all to pad his record, not because he’s doing it because they’re friends….and Kayl turned me down like the spineless bitch that he is!”

The crowd boos loudly as Blake Mason looks around. Bree rubs the back of Blake, supporting him.

Blake: “But I won’t get my personal revenge on Donovan Kayl. I can’t on Shaun Cruze as he’s already got the Sisterhood to deal with and I hope to God he fails his team again in front of the world!”

The crowd boos some more.

Blake: “But that doesn’t mean I can’t make their life a living hell. I will be at Broken Beliefs. I will be there to watch a couple of people who will deserve everything they have…you don’t try to end my career and get away with it…”

Blake pauses for a moment.

Blake: “I can’t even be angry that the two people who we destroyed at Retribution…they’re in line for a World Title shot. But Cruze and Kayl get to duck me….someone else can’t….The third member of their little assault.”

Blake smirks.

Blake: “Shawn Mason…The Perfect Mind made a very big mistake.”

Blake drops the microphone. He then backs up as “G.O.A.T.” starts to play. The crowd boos. Blake just looks around before turning back to Bree. Bree kisses him and the two walk off.

Sharper: “Shawn Mason…”

Winters: “Blake Mason making sure he gets what he wants out of this. But he’s got his eyes on Kayl and Cruze.”

Sharper: “And they’ll clash later tonight in tag team action!”

Blake Mason holds the ropes open for Bree and Bree drops down to the floor. Blake steps through and drops down too. They then start to head to the back.

We then open up backstage to see Syren walking through the backstage area. She has a bandage on her head. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “There’s Syren and while Blake Mason seeks for revenge against those he deems tried to end their career, Syren was assaulted in a very similar matter last week!”

Winters: “Almost identical!”

Sharper: “What happened there? Syren is here. I’m sure she’s looking for answers.”

Syren then turns and heads over to her locker room with Ravyn Taylor and Autumn Valentine as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We open up in the locker room of Dark Fantasy. We see Syren seated in the room, just taking a moment before Ravyn heads over to her.

Ravyn: “You okay?”

Syren: “Yeah…just not cleared tonight.”

Ravyn: “Do you need me to help you in whoever took you out?”

Syren: “It wasn’t Dante if that’s what you’re wondering.”

Ravyn: “Didn’t. Figured that would be too obvious.”

Syren: “And it wasn’t Kayl, Cruze or Shawn Mason.”

Ravyn: “So you saw?”

Syren: “It was one person.”

Syren gets up.

Syren: “It’s my fight now. Just getting sick and tired of this.”

Ravyn: “You’re at the top of the sport. It’s always been like that.”

Syren: “Yeah, but doesn’t mean I have to like it.”

Syren then takes a moment and steps forward, before leaving the room. Ravyn watches her leave as we cut away.

Shane Lawson vs. Brett Sinclaire

SCW Television Championship

Sharper: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, hell of a show thus far tonight and things just look to get even more action packed in just a few moments.”

Winters: “You took the words right out of my mouth Adam.”

Sharper: “And anyone who knows you knows that you’ve always been outspoken, so I’ll take that as a compliment!”

Winters: “Be that as it may, Phillips is in the ring right now ready with the introductions.”

The camera leaves the desk of Sharper and Winters and the view shifts to a closer view of the ring itself where Phillips stands dead center with microphone in hand…

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!!!”

The SCW fans roar while the camera itself pan’s the crowd with a fly by before returning to the ring.

Phillips: “Introducing first the challenger, he hails from on their way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is Shane Lawson!”

“I Want to Live” by Skillet starts to play. The crowd roars as a few moments pass and Shane Lawson walks out from the back. He looks around the arena and takes a deep breath and hops up and down to get the blood flowing. He then nods, hearing the crowd cheering him.

Sharper: “Huge opportunity tonight for that man, who knows all about the big night fights such as this.”

Winters: “The second of two people who earned shots at the champion, the other being Kara Abheri who failed in her endeavour, let’s see what Lawson can do tonight.”

He then starts to head down to the ring. He heads down and slides in. He gets up and goes over to the corner. He climbs up and looks around. He hops down and walks around the ring before turning and stretching out. He then turns and looks at the entrance way as the music fades out.

Phillips: “And his opponent….”

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

Phillips: “Hailing from Manhattan, New York… He is the SCW Television Champion… BRETT SINCLAIRE!!!”

Upon that introduction, the figure suddenly spins around and throws his arms up, palms to the sky as gold pyro rains down behind him and all the lights slowly come back on, albeit dimmed quite a bit.

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

Winters: “If looks could kill, but if he has his way tonight he could kill Lawsons hopes at Championship gold.”

Sharper: “Couldn’t agree more, huge opportunity for Lawson but Sinclaire has no intention of leaving without that championship belt.”

The official walks to the middle of the ring and raises it above his head to show it to the crowd, he then approaches Lawson and shows him the belt before turning back and showing it one more time to Brett Sinclaire who kisses the tips of his index and forefinger before pressing them against the plate. Phillips then takes the belt and exits the ring as the SCW fans begin to liven up some more.

Sharper: “Here we go, hold on to your hats.”

The bell sounds and both men are quick to come out of their respective corners. The two circle each other before Brett stops and holds out his hand. Shane Lawson stops himself and ponders a decision, Sinclaire is saying something that’s inaudible to the cameras but not to Lawson who takes his hand and the two shake to get things off to a positive start in this SCW TV Championship match.

Sharper: “That was unexpected, but a welcome change to proceedings lately here in SCW. I wish more would follow suit.”

Winters: “Is it wrong of me wanting to see one of them clock the other?”

Both men step away from the other and begin to circle once again, this doesn’t last long before the champion and challenger lock horns in the center of the ring like to bucks in the wild, only they aren’t battling over a mate, it’s championship gold… Lawson gets the upper hand however with a swift knee to the gut of Sinclaire doubling him over, he follows up with a stiff elbow to the back of the head before running the ropes and connecting with a knee lift sending the Champion to his back. Brett Sinclaire quickly rolls away to a corner holding the back of his head before he rises to a knee and looks at Lawson who just stares back…

Winters: “First blood you can say goes to the challenger right there, Sinclaire felt that and that has to be playing in the back of his mind now.”

Sharper: “He knows he can’t take Lawson for granted, he is a VWA veteran along the likes of Amy Chastaine, Kara Abheri and I believe Brittany Lohan and everyone’s current favourite human being, William Mason.”

Winters: “The sarcasm drips from you like a burning candle there Adam.”

Sinclaire rises to his feet as the SCW fans cheer both men on, Lawson backing up and allowing the champion out of the corner showing some good sportsmanship. The TV Champion nods and steps out of the corner now, the two locking up with another grapple, this one looking a lot more even between the two. Both men jostle for the upper hand, with it looking like the Champion doing just that. He manages to force Lawson to the ropes and is pushing him back over the top rope. The referee is quick to interject and splitting both men up, Lawson having released his hold as has the champion. But while Sinclaire steps back, he changes tact and slams his hand across the chest of Lawson!

Winters: “Oooh, I felt that from here but not as much as Shane Lawson there.”

The SCW fans “Woooo”, Lawson holds his chest but has no time to recover with the champion connecting with a knifes edge chop to the chest next and again before sending the challenger across the ring with an Irish whip. Lawsons sprints across and is quickly taken down upon the return with a dropkick, the champion diving on Lawson for a quick cover.

1… Kick out by Lawson!

Sinclaire springs to his feet and before Lawson can recover he drops an elbow across the chest of the challenger next. He hits another and switches things up with a knee and then and elbow across the forehead of Shane Lawson. However, before he can continue, Shane rolls away and quickly exits the ring holding his face and chest against the barricade.

Sharper: “The champion with a quick onslaught there, the challenger reeling from it.”

Winters: “Well he needs to keep his eye on the champion.”

Lawsons doesn’t hear winters at all, but he listens to the crowd’s reaction but it seems to be too little too late when he spins around to get caught with a suicide dive from the TV Champion that sends Lawson crashing into the barrier back first while Sinclaire lands on his feet. The champion is all smiles as he pulls Lawson away from the barrier and sends him back into the ring, he then leaps onto the apron and waits as Shane stumbles to his feet.

Sharper: “The champion is adept from that corner, I think we all know what he’s going to do next.”

The SCW fans are roaring now with Lawson looking worse for wear already which was unexpected. He staggers to his feet and slowly turns around, while doing so Sinclaire vaults onto the top rope and leaps off for a crossbody on Lawson. HOWEVER! Shane Lawson catches the champion and spins him around into tilt a whirl slam into the canvas with authority!!! The impact is hard n Sinclaire whose face says it all as he grimaces in pain. The SCW fans roar when Lawson hooks both legs of the champion.

1… Kick out by Sinclaire!

The SCW fans ooh but waste little time mulling over it with Lawson getting back to his feet and pulling the champion up with him. He locks in a double under hook and begins to throw wild knees into the face and chest of the champion before lifting him up and slamming him back with a suplex! Sinclaire rolls over holding his back and it’s his turn on the defensive as Lawson gets up and runs across the ring to drive a boot into the lower back of the TV Champion, he hits another and one more after that before pulling him up and connecting with a European uppercut that sends Sinclaire into a corner.

Sharper: “Lawsons come ALIVE right now, taking it to the champion like we imagined he would heading into this match!”

Winters: “Sinclaire needs to gather his bearings and quick, this could well be over soon.”

The SCW fans are rallying behind both men tonight but the focus right now is on Shane Lawson who has the Champion on the ropes in the corner. He connects with a stiff right hand and then follows that up with a left, once again with the right before sending Lawson across the ring with an Irish Whip. The Champion hits the corner with authority once more and staggers out only to get caught with a clothesline and with that the challenger covers.

1…

2… KICK OUT BY THE CHAMPION!

Sharper: “Two count there, almost three.”

Winters: “Or you could say it wasn’t, Sinclaire had that covered.”

Whether he did or didn’t is a debate for another time because Shane pulls the champion to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Lawson doubles over for a back body drop but in doing so leaves himself open with his confidence clearly getting the better of him. A swift kick to the face from the champion is enough to shoot the challenger up right only to connect with a sling blade clothesline from out of nowhere and then a quick cover…

1…

2…. NO! KICK OUT BY LAWSON!!

Both men roll to their backs as the SCW fans cheer them both on, the champion and challenger really matching each other tonight with the TV Championship on the line. The champion is the first to get to his feet only to quickly be followed by Lawson. The two stand opposite each other and look at the other, both with fires in their eyes.

Winters: “Something is about to explode you can feel the energy in the arena.”

Before Sharper could respond, winters revelation come true with both men charging at each other and sharing lefts and rights to each other neither letting up. The two end up in a corner with Lawson now with the upper hand and connecting with a stiff right hand. He kicks the champion in the gut before pushing both arms over the top ropes before backing up and charging at Sinclaire, who dodges out the way and sends Lawson crashing into the steel ring post shoulder first! The Fans ooooh as does everyone else watching at home and backstage as Lawson cries out in pain.

Sharper: “Oh dear god, did you hear that?! He may have broken something.”

Sinclaire doesn’t care though, he has a match to finish and this could be the opening he was looking for. The champion pulls Lawson out and spins him around before scooping him up and slamming him into the corner and tying his legs up into a tree of woe. The fan’s beginning to buzz knowing full well what could be coming as the Champion exits to the apron and begins to scale the corner.

Winters: “Oh boy, I think we know what the champion has in mind for Lawson right now. If he hits it this is over!”

Lawson is still holding his shoulder as the official is telling the Champion to get down, he ignores those calls. Instead his hits Lawson in the gut with an open handed slap that echo’s around the arena. Shane can’t help but sit upwards which is what the Champion wanted as he leaps off and connects with a double footstomp to the chest of Shane Lawson! Sinclare rolls forward and Lawson falls out of the corner holding his chest and shoulder now, the TV Champion pausing a moment before rolling onto Lawson for a cover.

1…

2…

3? NO!!! LAWSON HAS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE!!

Winters: “You GOT to be kidding me, why didn’t he hook the LEG?!”

The crowd roars at the sight of the official telling Sinclaire that it was a two count, he doesn’t believe him as he looks to see the leg on the bottom rope… Frustrating begins to show on his face as he holds his head in his hands. The SCW fans are chanting “Lets Go LAWSON, Lets go SINCLAIRE” over and over as the Champion shakes his head before looking down at the challenger. He reaches down and grabs the leg of Lawson and pulls him into the middle of the ring before reaching down again, but Lawson rolls him up!!

1…

2…

3? NO!!!!! SINCLAIRE KICKS OUT!

Sharper: “My god that was close, he almost had him!!”

Both men roll out, Sinclaire to his feet first. Lawson gets to his feet and charges the champion, but from out of now where the Champion locks in the kimura lock he calls “Chains of Evolution”. The SCW fans erupt as Lawson stands there in the middle of the ring, Lawson grimacing in pain and even more so when the Champion applies the body scissors as well. After that it was academic when Lawson wrenched the arm further, the shoulder giving out and Shane Lawson can do nothing more than tap out.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, the winner of this match as a result of a submission and…. STILLLL YOUR SCW TV CHAMPION… BRETT SINCLAIRE!!”

“Kingdom” by Downstait hits over the P.A system as Sinclre releases the hold and rolls to his feet. He is greeted by the official who hands him the TV Championship before raising his free arm. The official then checks on Shane Lawson while Sinclaire celebrates in the ring.

Sharper: “Its over, it’s over! Sinclaire retains! Wow, Sinclaire tapped out Shane Lawson that is a big win there for the TV Champion no matter which way you look at it.”

Winters: “Not ONLY that, but that was a tough battle for the champion as well. Great back and forth action.”

The scene opens up at the SCW interview area to see Spirit Dansby standing by with Kennedy Street. The crowd cheers.

Spirit: “I am here with Kennedy Street and Kennedy, it’s been a unique night already for you and last week as well. Ethan von Aaron cost you your Adrenaline Title match last week, granted after you resigned with the company. But then earlier tonight, Ethan tried to talk to him out of the contract, before our boss revealed you’ll get a rematch against Christy Matthews at Broken Beliefs.”

Kennedy: “A lot to take in, but I’ll focus on the one thing that most deserves a comment…Christy…we can finally have a one on one match. Christy Matthews has been dominant as the champion…her and I both reminded everyone what we’re capable of in the last couple of months, although Christy has been doing it a lot longer and seems to have a bigger chip on her shoulder. In any case, Broken Beliefs will see the end of her reign.”

Kennedy pauses for a moment.

Kennedy: “As for Ethan. We’re done. You’re only proving more and more that you don’t care about what’s in my best interest. You just care about not having to change. Well things have changed and your ways…they’ve not led to any more respect. I had to grow up. You should too. Now, if you excuse me, I need to prepare to win a title.”

The crowd cheers.

Spirit: “Thank you for your time, Kennedy.”

Kennedy walks off as the scene cuts away.

The scene opens up backstage to show Jessica Winters standing by with Asher Hayes at the SCW interview area. The crowd cheers seeing him.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Asher Hayes, who returned last week in his hometown in Chicago. You immediately approached Katie Steward and we can tell that come Broken Beliefs, you will go one on one with Katie Steward.”

Asher: “Well that’s a fun way to kick things off in my return. I hope TJ has no hard feelings. The God damn, Katie, you were spewing that crap years ago when I first got here! But now you actually have a church and a whatever. Look…it’s nothing personal Katie, but when I saw you walk into my hometown and telling people to bow down…sorry, Katie, but no one in Chi-town bows down for anything. It’s the city of champions for reasons….sorry Minnie…”

The crowd boos.

Asher: “But Katie, looks like you need a bit of a reality check and if my first big match coming back is against you and it helps you realize that things have changed and no, the world doesn’t revolve around you…and never did. But at Broken Beliefs, I think it’ll be a good return…a great change of pace for SCW as I’ll be back.”

Asher smiles and Jessica turns to him.

Jessica: “Thanks for your time. Back to ringside.”

Asher turns and heads off.

Ravyn Taylor vs. Alex Drake

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

Announcer: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, accompanied by Raven Tyler and Mickie Road, he is the Canadian Heartbreak Kid, Alex Drake!”

The boos continue as Alex Drake struts a bit to the ring and walks around the ring before hopping onto the apron. He looks at the crowd, showing himself off for a brief moment. Mickie and Raven enter the ring. He steps through the ropes and spins around before stopping and posing in the middle of the ring. He takes off his entrance attire as he gets ready for the challenge in front of him. He then turns to Tyler and says something to her as Mickie exits to the floor. Tyler does too.

Sharper: “I’m not sure what to expect here. Alex Drake seems to be more blow than show.”

Winters: “Well he’s certainly pissing off the wrong people!”

Sharper: “And you see him talking to Raven Tyler. Let’s not forget that last week, Ravyn Taylor caught her and made some deal with her. Alex Drake, meanwhile, has not been seen since his quick loss to Syren at Retribution!”

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

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

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

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

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

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Hell, Michigan, she is the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor!”

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

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor is not one to mess with. Drake cost Syren the World Title. We assume, through Raven Tyler, he cost Ravyn Taylor the TV Title.”

Winters: “And Ravyn has a lot of things on her mind. This situation. Dante McCaffery, who she’ll face at Broken Beliefs.”

Sharper: “That situation, that chess game, still going on.”

Ravyn pulls herself up as she looks at Alex Drake. Drake turns and looks at Raven as the bell sounds. He then turns to Ravyn and steps forward. He starts to jaw at her. Ravyn just smirks before walking up to him. Ravyn then blasts him with a hard forearm. Drake staggers back. Ravyn forearms him again and then again. She drops him with a drop toe hold before stepping over her and nailing him in the back of the head with a hard forearm and then another and another. Drake pushes her off and rolls away. Ravyn smirks as Drake grabs at the ropes and starts to get up.

Sharper: “Not the start Drake wanted at all!”

Winters: “Well time for him to show he’s the real CHBK. If he is, he’ll have a plan. If he’s a fraud, which he is, then this is just starting and it’s gonna be fun!”

Drake gets up. He rushes Ravyn and Ravyn ducks a clothesline. Drake turns around and Ravyn hits a discus forearm shot before kicking him in the ribs. She then kicks him in the face as he stumbles back. Ravyn grabs him and goes to whip him into the ropes. Drake spins through and sends her in. She goes to slide through. Drake catches her and smiles before Ravyn nails him with a forearm. Drake staggers forward. Ravyn gets up and runs over and goes for the Evolutionary Synthesis, but Drake slams her down to the mat. Ravyn hits hard and rolls over. Drake then runs up from behind and hits a bulldog. The crowd boos as Drake turns and stomps her in the chest and then again and again and again.

Sharper: “And Drake now just stomping away at Ravyn Taylor!”

Winters: “Well he did have a plan!”

Drake then grabs her and moves her into the corner. The crowd boos as Drake elbows her in the side of the head and then turns to Raven Tyler and says something to her before turning back and whipping Ravyn across the ring. She hits the corner. Drake walks across and Ravyn kicks him in the ribs and then again. She nails him with a forearm and then runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Drake kicks her in the ribs and hits a double arm DDT. Drake then turns and looks around before looking up to the rampway. The crowd boos as we see Mikaela Street walking out from the back. She just looks down at the ring and points to Mickie Road. Mickie Road can be seen backing up as she knows what’s happening. Drake then turns and walks over to the ropes and snaps at Mikaela, but Mikaela then turns and runs at Mickie. Mickie turns and runs around the ring. Mikaela runs after her as the crowd roar. Drake looks around as Mickie runs around the steps and starts to run up the rampway. Ravyn notices this and then drops back down to the mat, stopping her recovery. Mikaela is in hot pursuit, ignoring Drake or the ring and running after Mickie to the back. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Mikaela Street coming out here and she’s taken notice of this imposter that Drake has brought in to play her role, if you will!”

Winters: “Run Mickie run. She may have some of that Street piss and vinegar in her!”

Sharper: “Mikaela running Mickie off to the back and following her!”

Raven Tyler looks around before Drake turns around and Ravyn remains down and Drake then motions to Ravyn to get up. Raven says something to Drake. Drake ignores her.

Raven: “She’s faking! Alex! She’s-“

Drake ignores her and Ravyn staggers up to her feet and stumbles over before Drake lunges and goes for the Bittersweet Ending, but Ravyn ducks. Drake turns around and Ravyn jumps up and locks in the Memento Mori. Raven just shakes her head as Drake struggles and immediately Ravyn turns her hips and forces him down to the mat. Drake reaches around before starting to tap out. Ravyn keeps the hold on for a moment longer as Drake struggles a bit and Ravyn then lets go. She turns and looks at Drake as Drake rolls over, coughing. Ravyn just shakes her head and looks at him. She then steps over and snaps at Drake to never get in her way again. Ravyn then steps off as the referee raises her arm.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Ravyn Taylor!”

The crowd cheers. Ravyn then stops and looks around again. She then turns and looks at Raven. Raven locks eyes with her and just nods. Ravyn turns and exits to the apron. Drake coughs still.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor gets Alex Drake to tap. Humbling him here tonight.”

Winters: “And then looking over at Raven Tyler…they shared some sort of message. Whatever they have planned…”

Sharper: “Or just a reminder that Ravyn is the one to be concerned about not Drake. I don’t know.”

Winters: “And what about Mickie?!”

Ravyn starts to head to the back as Drake continues to try and breathe and we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Mikaela Street jogging into one area of the backstage area.

Mikaela: “Where the hell did she go?”

Mikaela takes a few more steps.

Mikaela: “I will find you and make you pay for pretending to be a cheap knockoff of me! There’s only one real deal!”

Mikaela continues to look around and takes a few more steps before turning and looking down one hallway. She then turns back, shaking her head.

Mikaela: “Damn. Finally she shows up and I could get her.”

Mikaela walks off, but the camera turns and notices someone looking on, one Dante McCaffery. He then turns and walks into one room.

Sharper: “Dante McCaffery…”

Winters: “Just hanging out. Probably watching Ravyn’s match. Maybe enjoying some of the extra ridiculousness.”

Sharper: “I don’t know…”

The scene cuts away.

The scene cuts backstage as we see Lexi von Aaron standing backstage.

Lexi: “Okay…you can do this. You can go up to him and tonight, tonight is the night he’ll finally see that Shaun Cruze is a horrible fit for him.”

Lexi takes a deep breath.

Lexi: “I’m the better partner for him. Both in the ring and out of the ring.”

Lexi smiles before she stops and turns around and AJ Helms and Shaun Cruze are there with her.

Lexi: “AJ! You actually came to me. Oh my God. Tonight IS the night!”

Shaun: “No, Lexi. Tonight, we need you to make something clear.”

AJ: “You’re coming to the ring with us.”

Lexi: “Whatever you need….AJ…I’m yours!”

Lexi starts to take off her shirt, only to have AJ stop her.

AJ: “Stop it. Keep your close on.”

Lexi looks around.

Lexi: “Of couse…the leaks.”

AJ rolls his eyes.

Shaun: “Just come with us.”

Lexi: “I’m coming with AJ….not you…you failure!”

Lexi grabs AJ’s arm and hooks it with her arm. AJ looks at Shaun. Shaun just nudges him along.

Sharper: “I’m told that Honour Code will respond to the Sisterhood when we return.”

Winters: “And they have Lexi in tow. But she may not know what’s awaiting her!”

They head off as the scene fades to black.

Breakdown opens up backstage as we see Tommy Valentine and Dawn Lohan talking backstage.

Tommy: “So what was that about?”

Dawn: “Look, we’ve been rudderless since Retribution. I take out Alexis Quinne and nothing. We didn’t get the TV Title shot and last week, just watching. I’m not okay with that. And Gable, Autumn, regardless of their issues, they’re former Tag Champs!”

Tommy: “I get it, but with everything else-“

Dawn: “This is what I want. I want to do something where I’m not looking over my shoulder every second. Autumn and Gable, we can give them a good night and maybe earn a title shot down the road. That to me is what I want.”

Tommy: “Well then…”

Dawn pauses for a moment.

Dawn: “You get along with Autumn, well, right? Talked to her.”

Tommy: “Yeah.”

Dawn: “Talk to her. Sell her on it. I want this, Tommy.”

Tommy: “I’ll see what I can do.”

Dawn: “Thanks…it would be-“

Tommy: “Don’t say it.”

Tommy chuckles as Dawn leans in and smirks.

Dawn: “Wonderful.”

Tommy shakes his head and laughs as he heads off.

The lights flicker in the arena, before going off fully, a single spotlight shining on the entrance way as it's fills with smoke. The spotlight then starts to strobe, as the opening riff to ‘Rise’ by Sixx: Am hits over the PA system. We then see Shaun Cruze step out with Angyalka Cruze and look back as AJ Helms comes out with Lexi von Aaron locked arm in arm.

Sharper: “I never thought I’d see that. Lexi and AJ locked arm in arm.”

Winters: “They need her. Sisterhood made it clear that they’re most concerned about her, so we’ll see how this goes.”

Sharper: “The Sisterhood defends their World Tag Team Championship against the Honour Code at Broken Beliefs on April 9.”

Shaun looks back as AJ just glares at him. Lexi is smiling from ear to ear. The four of them head to the ring, walking down the ramp and over to the ring. They head to the ring. Shaun walks up the steps and helps Angyalka into the ring. Shaun enters after. AJ just hops onto the apron and into the ring. Lexi looks at AJ before coughing. Shaun looks at AJ and AJ steps out and begrudgingly extends his arm to Lexi before helping her up the steel steps and into the ring. AJ then lets go of her, but she quickly hooks her arm in his arm again as Shaun walks over and is handed a microphone. He takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring.

Sharper: “Such a surreal scene seeing AJ Helms locked arm in arm with Lexi von Aaron.”

Winters: “And all just to alleviate the concerns of their opponent. But it’s big. It could cost them the titles.”

Shaun Cruze looks around.

Shaun: “Last week on this program, the Sisterhood made a request that frankly makes a lot of sense. They called for some guarantee that our rematch for the World Tag Team Championship at Broken Beliefs would be fair and on the up and up. Given that our match that they won the titles was tainted with some degree of controversy, I understand.”

Shaun looks at Lexi. Lexi just sticks her tongue out at Shaun as AJ turns away.

Shaun: “And that, Lexi, is why you’re out here?”

Lexi turns to Shaun and looks confused. Shaun walks over to her and Lexi promptly grabs the microphone.

Lexi: “I’m out here to support AJ since let’s face it…you just let him down!”

Shaun pulls the microphone back. He looks down and shakes his head. AJ looks at Shaun.

Shaun: “See Lexi…the Sisterhood has made it clear that they would prefer that in the Honour Code’s rematch, if you show up, we immediately lose.”

Lexi: “Thanks to you!”

Shaun: “No Lexi….because of you.”

The crowd roars a bit. Shaun then turns to AJ. AJ rolls his eyes before grabbing the microphone.

AJ: “Lexi…”

AJ turns away briefly.

AJ: “If you care about me, you’ll agree to this-“

Lexi: “I think you should drop him and get with me. We…we’re Tag Champs. He’s just using you-“

AJ: “Lexi!”

The crowd roars a bit.

AJ: “After what you pulled last week, the fake pregnancy….the videos with me….all of the insults to my privacy….please, Lexi….if you in any way care about me, you’ll agree to this. You have to stay away from the ring when the Sisterhood and Honour Code go at it. If we lose straight up, so be it. We can accept that, but we can’t have you getting involved, either in disqualification or handing us the win. Lexi….please….”

Shaun looks at AJ and nods as Lexi just keeps looking at AJ, not breaking her focus on him.

AJ: “Anything?”

Lexi looks around before turning and looks at AJ, taking the microphone.

Lexi: “Do you mean it that you don’t want me to get involved.”

AJ just immediately says “Yes” as Lexi looks at him. She turns to and looks at Shuan and Angyalka before turning to AJ.

Lexi: “Then fine…do the right thing for the mail order bride and Shaun….give them a reason to live in the morning….I will stay out of the way of your World Tag Team Championship shot, even if I think it should be with me, not that dead weight!”

The crowd roars. AJ takes the microphone back.

AJ: “Thank you…”

AJ then turns and looks at the hard camera as Lexi runs over and hooks his arm again.

AJ: “Kayla….Angelica….you know we were on board and Lexi understands, so there you have-“

Just then, the crowd roars as we see Shaun Cruze turn and grab at the ropes as he’s pulled down from Blake Mason who is on the floor, having come from somewhere. The crowd boos and Blake grabs Cruze and turns and throws him hard into the barricade. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Blake Mason from the crowd, attacking Shaun Cruze.”

Winters: “Getting that revenge!”

Mason starts to stomp away on Cruze as he tries to get free. Bree Lancaster is seen walking around the ring. AJ turns and drops the microphone as Lexi starts to cheer Blake Mason on, yelling at him to destroy him. Angyalka drops down to the floor too. AJ and Angyalka go over and Blake gets a couple more shots in before AJ grabs him and pulls him back. He then nails Blake with a hard right and then another before Blake fires back. We then see Bree Lancaster enter the ring as Lexi von Aaron yells at Angyalka.

Lexi: “Is he dead? So can I be tag champ now?!”

Angyalka just looks up and then looks behind Lexi.

Lexi: “What the hell, do you have a lazy eye?”

Sharper: “Blake and AJ! Bree now in the ring though!”

Winters: “Look out Lexi!”

Sharper: “Lexi von Aaron has gotten involved in Bree and Blake’s business in the past too! She was cheering them on as they attacked Shaun Cruze, but when they were going after AJ too-“

Bree then runs at Lexi and Lexi turns and right into the Classifier by Bree. The crowd ohs and roars. Lexi rolls over, holding her ribs in pain. Mason grabs AJ and turns and throws him into the announce table. We then see Donovan Kayl running out from the back. The crowd cheers. Kayl runs down to the ring and Mason rolls into the ring and joins Bree. Shaun Cruze starts to get up on the floor as Kayl hops onto the apron and looks into the ring. Blake tells him to get into the ring. Bree stands with him. The crowd roars and a “Kayl!” chant begins. AJ turns and looks at the ring as Cruze tells him to stay back.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl coming down. Shaun Cruze getting back up. They will face the B&B Experience.”

Winters: “Looks like we’re going to see it now. Blake and Bree are ready to go!”

Sharper: “That’s what I’m being told in my headset. We’re just getting an official down here. And when we return, this huge tag match will take place, here on Breakdown!”

Kayl keeps eying down Blake and Bree as Shaun pulls himself up onto the apron. The crowd cheers some more. AJ and Angyalka watch him as Lexi remains down on the floor and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Donovan Kayl & Shaun Cruze vs. The B&B Experience (Blake Mason & Bree Lancaster)

Breakdown returns as we see Cruze in his corner as we see AJ Helms on the floor, along with Angyalka Cruze with him. Lexi von Aaron is in the rampway and AJ keeps yelling at her head off as Kayl stands in the ring. We notice a couple of officials in the ring as Blake just keeps looking at Kayl. Bree remains in her corner. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Officials keeping both parties separated to make sure that this doesn’t break down.”

Winters: “A lot of high emotions in this one. And on top of that, Lexi von Aaron is still out here.”

Sharper: “Speared by Bree Lancaster before we went to break. AJ Helms wants her gone and I don’t blame him given that Lexi has both shown a propensity to get involved while also a hatred for everyone in that ring.”

The crowd buzzes as the second official exits to the floor. We then see Blake run past the one official and kick Kayl in the ribs. The crowd boos as Blake nails Kayl with a hard right and then another and another before pushing him into the neutral corner. The official remains on the floor and Lexi just looks around, pointing to him.

Lexi: “Why are you by me?! Watch Cruze for throwing the match!”

AJ just rolls his eyes as Angyalka and Shaun both start to calm AJ down as Blake kicks Kayl in the ribs and then again and again.

Blake steps back and snaps at the official.

Blake: “No refs stopped them from nearly ending my career!”

Blake turns around and Kayl nails him with an overhead chop to the chest and kicks him in the ribs before spinning him around and hip tossing him down to the middle of the ring. Blake turns and gets up and moves back to the corner. Kayl steps up and nails him with a forearm and then another and another before grabbing him and going to whip him across. Blake spins through and sends Kayl into the same neutral corner the back and forth began. Blake runs at Kayl and Kayl gets a boot up. Blake falls back and Kayl turns and grabs him and pulls him up before tagging in Shaun. Blake pulls away and rolls away before moving back up to Bree. The crowd boos as Shaun slowly enters and looks across.

Sharper: “And Kayl tags in Blake and Blake promptly gets away and in comes Bree.”

Winters: “They’re on the same page and both hate Blake, so there is that.”

Sharper: “Lexi now chirping more on the floor.”

Lexi: “Prove that you’re not useless Shaun! Kick her ass!”

Shaun looks over and rolls his eyes a bit.

Sharper: “Lexi von Aaron showing her hatred of Bree, possibly the only person she hates more than Cruze at this point.”

Lexi paces as the official on the floor remains near her. Bree enters and her and Cruze both circle the ring. Cruze moves towards her and swings with a clothesline. Bree ducks and spins around and Cruze turns only for Bree to nail him with a kick to the knee and then a dropkick. Cruze falls back to the corner. Bree gets up and heads over to Cruze and nails him with a forearm shot and then a chop. She grabs him and wrenches his arm. She then chops her again before grabbing him and going to whip him across, but Cruze spins through and sends Bree in. Bree bounces out of the corner and Cruze hits a huge back drop as the crowd cheers. Bree rolls over and moves back to the corner. Blake looks in and Bree tags out as Blake enters. Blake looks at Cruze. He then lunges and Cruze takes him down with an arm drag. He holds on as Blake starts to get up and Cruze knees him in the ribs. He knees him again. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Blake bounces off and Cruze goes for a clothesline. Blake ducks. He bounces off the ropes and jumps up and nails him with a shoulder block takedown. Cruze starts to get up and Blake dives onto him and clubs him in the back, knocking him back down. He gets up and clubs him down again. Cruze rolls over to the ropes. Blake then steps over and stomps him in the ribs and then again before the referee gets him back. Blake holds his hands up and Bree runs over and jumps up and hits an elbow drop to the top of Cruze’s head. Cruze rolls over as the official on the floor walks around. Lexi then turns and hops onto the apron. The official in the ring runs over and she jumps down as Blake grabs Cruze and pulls him up.

Sharper: “Bree with a cheap shot there and you can see how clever some are at bending the rules.”

Winters: “Lexi less clever, but more obvious.”

Sharper: “But no less dangerous as so many factors coming to play here. Cruze and Kayl teaming up here as Cruze is in trouble and Blake is looking to take a pound of flesh if you ask me.”

Winters: “Well if he’s truthful about them nearly ending his career-“

Sharper: “No proof they tried for a piledriver or anything.”

Winters: “No proof otherwise!”

Sharper: “I tend to trust Kayl and Cruze more than Blake!”

Winters: “They’re the ones who jumped him!”

Blake then vertical suplexes Cruze down. He goes for the pin.

Cruze kicks out, but Blake pulls him up too. He then mounts him as Kayl starts to enter. Blake nails Cruze with a series of hard right hands to the jaw. The crowd boos as Blake then gets up. He walks over to the ropes and bounces off before just stomping Cruze right in the face. Cruze rolls over. Blake grabs him and drags him up and tags in Bree. He then hoists Cruze up in a front face lock before lifting him up and hanging his feet over the top rope. Bree enters and kicks Cruze hard in the ribs. Blake then lets go and Cruze falls to the mat hard. Blake then exits. Bree then stomps Cruze in the face before grabbing him by the hair. He turns and drives him face first into the corner. She then rears back and shoulders Cruze in the ribs. She shoulders him again. Cruze winces a bit and Blake pulls on his hair. Bree then tags Blake back in and Blake enters and nails Cruze with a hard European uppercut. Cruze walks along the ropes.

Sharper: “Hard shot and Blake Mason is taking breaks at moments to just rest before continuing the assault.”

Winters: “Bree knows what this is about. This is about Blake kicking ass.”

Sharper: “Kayl getting antsy on the apron as Cruze needs to figure out a way to telegraph this.”

Blake kicks him in the ribs and then grabs him and drives him hard into the mat face first. Cruze holds his face and Blake gets up and hits an elbow drop to the back of Cruze’s head. He rolls him over and drives his forearm into the face of Cruze. Cruze moves around as the referee calls for the break.

Blake turns into a choke.

Blake lets go and snaps at the official. He then turns and looks at Kayl.

Blake: “Maybe I should get you back in here Mr. Holier than Thou! But then you couldn’t watch what I’ll do to Simon when I get the chance.

Kayl then enters the ring and lunges forward. Blake steps back and immediately kicks Cruze in the ribs as he starts to get up. Bree enters and the two of them then start to stomp away on Cruze as the crowd boos. The official on the floor turns to Lexi as she tries to get into the ring and slides in before AJ runs over and pulls her out as the official stops Lexi from getting farther forward. AJ drags Lexi out and Lexi turns and ends up in his arms.

Lexi: “I’m trying to help him since he sucks!”

Lexi then realizes where she is and promptly kisses AJ. AJ throws her back, dumping her to the floor. The second official drops down to the floor and tells both of them to leave the ringside area. AJ just looks up and Lexi gets up and yells at him “Why!” before AJ drags her out. She then smiles.

Lexi: “Oh….Okay, AJ. I’ll come with you.”

AJ just looks up and lets go before storming off. Lexi promptly follows her as the official watches. We then see Blake Mason hitting a back suplex onto Cruze. Cruze winces as Blake turns and tags in Bree. Bree climbs up to the top rope. She dives off and hits a guillotine leg drop to the face.

Sharper: “Pandemonium out here. AJ and Lexi forced to leave!”

Winters: “Lexi trying to help Cruze I guess. Trying to show she’s better. AJ knows what Cruze would want and pulled her out and they’re gone. Two less issues for Blake and Bree!”

Sharper: “And the crowd not happy about AJ leaving, but now in the ring, the leg drop. The cover! B&B may have it!”

Bree hooks the leg.

Kayl pulls her off. Blake enters and Kayl backs up as Blake snaps at him not to touch his fiancé. Blake exits as Bree gets up and grabs Cruze. She lifts him up to the corner and tags in Blake again. Blake then pulls him out and scoops him up and slams him down. Blake then grabs Bree and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off, looking at Kayl with a smirk before Blake launches her up for a flapjack into a splash on Cruze, but Cruze gets his knees up. The crowd roars. Cruze rolls over and Blake elbows him in the back of the head and then again. He then spins him around and throws him into the ropes farthest from Kayl. Cruze bounces off and Blake goes for a clothesline, but Cruze ducks and spins around before hooking Blake up and hitting a release snap German suplex. Blake rolls over, holding his head in pain. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Oh! What a German! Blake Mason dropped on his head and neck and he’s down! Cruze needs to make a tag!”

Winters: “That’s how good Cruze is. When he’s got the opening, he can take out two members of former Tag Champs! Still need the tag though. Even after nearly injuring Blake again!”

Sharper: “Oh God…”

Kayl reaching in. Cruze rolls over and reaches over. Blake holds the back of his head and neck and moves to the ropes. He starts to get up and Cruze tags in Kayl. The crowd roars. Kayl enters and Blake turns around and Kayl kicks him in the ribs and then nails him with a hard right and then another before whipping him into the ropes. Blake bounces off and Kayl jumps up and hits a high knee, knocking him down. Kayl turns and Bree enters and runs at him and Kayl steps back and lifts her up and back drops her up and over to the floor. Blake gets up and Kayl kicks him in the ribs. He places his head between his legs and Blake promptly crawls through and points to him. Kayl rolls his eyes. Blake backs up to the corner and points to the referee.

Winters: “See! Going for the piledriver!”

Sharper: “Or a powerbomb!”

Winters: “When was the last time you saw Kayl do that!”

Blake gets up and Kayl moves over and Blake punches over the official and Kayl steps back. Bree then trips him up. Kayl slides to the floor. He turns and Bree hits a prompt front dropkick and Kayl falls over. Cruze then gets up and Blake turns around as Cruze lifts him up and hits a backbreaker. Cruze then turns and exits to the floor. Bree runs off to her corner as Kayl starts to get up. Cruze then backs away as the official on the floor gets him back. Kayl turns and rolls into the ring. He starts to get up and Blake gets up and nails him in the ribs. He then pulls him in and goes to lift him onto his shoulders. Kayl elbows out of it. He slides down. Blake turns around and Kayl lifts him up and hits a flapjack. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Kayl fighting out as Kayl then drops Blake! Even with Blake trying to get Kayl disqualified.”

Winters: “Not just disqualified, but suspended. If he was, then Lyman and Kayl is off at Blake could get the match he actually wants!”

Kayl turns and goes for Blake. He pulls him up and hooks his head. He then goes to lift him up. Blake blocks it. Kayl then lifts him up and throws him forward. Mason lands on his knees and Kayl runs at the ropes. He bounces off and Lancaster grabs Mason by the leg and pulls him out of the ring. Mason then walks around as the official on the floor goes over to him. (1) Lancaster and Blake walk around the ring a bit. Kayl just looks at them as the crowd boos. Cruze drops down before we see Shawn Mason start to walk out from the back. (2) The crowd roars. He slowly starts to make his way to the ring. Blake turns and Bree looks at them. (3)

Sharper: “Shawn Mason! He’s here! He’s looking at Blake! And Blake and Bree Lancaster see him!”

Winters: “Why is he out here? Is this group going to try and attack them again!”

Sharper: “Stop it. He’s out here because Blake and Bree are looking like they may think about leaving!’

Blake steps towards them, but we then see Kayl and Cruze both drop to the floor. Cruze nails Blake from behind and Bree spins around and goes to nail Kayl, but Kayl blocks it and turns and throws her into the barricade. Cruze kicks Blake in the ribs before throwing him face first into the ring apron. He then rolls him into the ring. Kayl rolls in after him. Cruze gets up onto the apron as Blake starts to get up and Kayl runs over and nails him with the running knee. The crowd ohs as Blake falls back. Kayl goes for the pin.

The crowd roars. Shawn Mason then heads to the ring and hops onto the apron and into the ring. Blake rolls over and holds his jaw. Shawn just looks at him and Bree turns and grabs him and pulls him out of the ring. Shawn then snaps at Bree.

Shawn: “Tell him, he’s on.”

Bree just glares at him before walking around the ring with Blake.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Donovan Kayl and Shaun Cruze!”

Bree looks at the ring as Blake turns and swings at Shawn. Shawn jukes back as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Pandemonium here as Kayl and Cruze manage to hold off Blake and Bree!”

Winters: “But it’s just turned the tension up more. Add that Shawn Mason has agreed to face Blake! Mason on Mason action!”

Sharper: “And I’m sure it will only turn things up for Blake and Bree as they continue to target their attackers!”

Kayl and Cruze watch them leave as Shawn Mason keeps his eyes on Blake. Blake and Bree head to the back as the crowd roars a bit.

We open up to see Raven Tyler walking down the hallway backstage as we see her turn the corner and stop, before suddenly falling back.

Raven: “Oh my-“

Dante: “Hello…Raven…I assume that’s not your real name.”

Raven looks up at Dante.

Raven: “Look, I-“

Dante: “Shhhh….you’re working with the real one. Some sort of deal. I think that anyone deserve an opportunity to have options and well, I’m willing to offer you an option.”

Raven: “I’m not doing-“

Dante: “She gives a damn about you, so now I care about you. I’m sure she knows. So you really should talk to me.”

Raven: “I don’t need trouble. I’m just going to go back to Alex and-“

Dante: “You act like there was a choice. You’re coming with me and listening to what I can offer you.”

Raven looks up. Dante extends his hand. Raven slowly reaches up and Dante helps her up before escorting her off screen.

COMMERCIALS

The scene opens up backstage as we see Christy Matthews walking backstage and we see Ethan von Aaron running up behind her.

Ethan: “Christy! Christy!”

Christy stops and turns and slides her title down, almost threatening to turn and nail him. Ethan sees this and jukes back.

Ethan: “Whoa…easy there.”

Christy: “What do you want?”

Ethan: “Look….you’re defending your title against Kennedy at Broken Beliefs-“

Christy: “I’m not going to lie down for her. Especially as everyone is talking about how great she’s doing now.”

Ethan: “Good. I want you to nail her with the title to start the match. Immediately. End the match.”

Christy looks confused.

Christy: “Wait…”

Ethan: “Get disqualified. Show that your way is best.”

Christy: “So you want-“

Ethan: “I’ll even pay you.”

Christy: “You’ll pay me to drive this into Kennedy’s skull.”

Christy scoffs a bit.

Christy: “You know what…I’ll think about it.”

Christy smirks and heads off. Ethan smiles.

Ethan: “I’ll be here!”

Christy then turns and heads off as Ethan smirks and turns and notices the camera.

Ethan: “Oh….well, Kennedy, I assume you’re watching then…just making my point. People like her…they get real respect and they get the titles.”

Ethan smiles and walks off as the crowd boos. The scene then slowly fades to black.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown here live in Minneapolis. Adam Sharper here, now joined by Jonathan Knots and still to come tonight, a huge match, main event, Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost will meet up to determine the number one contender to the SCW World Championship.”

Knots: “They both have had their issues with Vixen Cain in the past. Selena Frost, she wants her rematch. Kelcey Wallace, she wants to finally get a shot back at the top. One of them will get it later. And these two know each other well. I hope they’re feeling good, because it’s gonna be a war. That’s one thing about both of them. They want to be the best.”

Sharper: “Along with that, we’ve got the US Championship also on the line a bit later tonight.”

Knots: “Regan Street should be getting this shot!”

Sharper: “Tyler Tucker is the number one contender. He gets his shot tonight and let’s not forget, Tucker beat Amy Chastaine in singles action in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament.”

Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words:

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

Amy Chastaine, wearing her gear, comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd. She starts down the ramp, greeting fans along the way. The SCW United States Championship is over her shoulder.

Sharper: “We’re not yet scheduled for that defense, but Amy Chastaine had a noteworthy week last week. She was called away from Breakdown, allowed to head home for a family emergency and it looks like it was ruse.”

Knots: “Or she made something up so she could get out of getting owned by Christy, but that’s fine….Kennedy got a shot even if Ethan buggered that up. What the hell Ethan?!”

Amy gets in the ring by hopping up on the apron, and stepping between the second and third ropes. She goes to the second rope in the corner near the ring steps, and poses for the fans, one arm in the air, the other on her hip. She then hops down and walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone. She straightens out the title over her shoulder and turns around and goes to the middle of the ring. She then looks around as her music fades out, her face showing the seriousness of the situation.

Chastaine: “First off, I want to apologize to everyone for my absence last week on Breakdown.”

The crowd buzzes a bit.

Chastaine: “At six p.m. before last week’s show, I was contacted by a police officer. They told me that my son was involved in an incident. As any parent knows….the thoughts that go through your head at that moment are some of the scariest things possible. Fortunately, our boss, Mr. D understood after I explained to him the situation and let me go home to deal with what I thought would be a much more difficult situation.”

Chastaine pauses for a moment before scowling a bit.

Chastaine: “When I got home….I found out that it was all a joke. Someone paid someone off to pretend to be a police officer, to put the fear of God into me thinking that something had happened with my son and someone wanted me to not be here last week. And of course, underlying all of this….we’ve heard the tapes, saw the transcript, undoubtedly, I’m sure some people are relishing this.”

Chastaine pauses again as she continues to think in her head.

Chastaine: “And then I got a chance to watch Breakdown after I had calmed down and got all riled up again as I saw some familiar people take shots at me all because they could, but one thing caught my ire….Merrick Wiseman mentioned a phone call regarding my kid….something that had not been publicized…I don’t think I need to say much more, given that I’m pretty damn sure you’re the one, with Vixen Cain, who tapped the rooms. Who is trying to smear me? Who is still obsessed with last Fall over decisions YOU made.”

Chastaine looks at the camera.

Chastaine: “I’m sorry, Tyler. I should be focusing on you and in a few moments, I will, but right now, I need to send a crystal clear reminder to Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman. If you want to keep playing dirty pool and keep doing this all, I will make sure that you both regret it. You don’t mess with a mother’s family. You don’t. But if you want to go down that road, titles will be the least of your worries and-“

The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. Amy just looks down briefly composing herself and turns to the entrance way. A few moments pass before Regan Street walks out from the back with Mikaela Street. The crowd boos seeing them. Regan smirks a bit before starting to walk down to the ring. Mikaela follows her.

Sharper: “Regan Street now coming out and she was another one who piled on Amy when she wasn’t here.”

Knots: “And she believes she should have the next US Title match. I agree. Make Tyler Tucker wait!”

Sharper: “And let’s also remember, Amy Chastaine will have a busy couple of weeks if things go as planned. Tucker tonight, we presume she’ll be getting another shot at Christy and the Adrenaline Title and then US Title commitments if she’s successful against Tucker!”

Regan gets to the ring and hops onto the apron. She looks at Amy. Amy just keeps glaring at ther as Mikaela then follows after her. Regan walks forward to Amy and Mikaela walks across the ring and is handed a microphone. She turns around and looks at Amy before handing the other microphone to Regan. Regan and Amy’s eyes don’t leave one another’s.

Amy: “I’m not in the mood Regan-“

Regan: “Well I am. Because let’s face it, for once, you and I have something we’re on the same side for.”

Amy just looks at Regan incredulous.

Amy: “The hell are you talking about?”

Regan: “Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman.”

Amy continues to look stunned.

Amy: “Are you high?”

Regan: “No, Amy. I just see the fact that they have the World Title. They want you. Now, Amy, given that this company seems to want to shove a rocket up your ass and gives you opportunity after opportunity even though let’s face it, BS seems to follow you all the time and you have drama surrounding you all the time, I think I’m willing to do everyone a favour. So you’ve probably seen the tweets and I’m dead serious…you and I should tag team!”

Sharper: “What?!”

Amy can’t believe it either. Regan just keeps looking right at Amy.

Amy: “You are high. I wouldn’t trust you for anything, and plus, I don’t need you getting involved in my fights, especially since lord knows you just want this…”

Amy points to it.

Amy: “And it’s not yours. You want it to get to Selena. But tonight, Tyler Tucker gets a shot.”

Regan: “And if he kicks your ass, even better, but let’s face it, there’s bigger things here. Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman should get their asses kicked and frankly, I think they’ve earned another one at my hands and well, with the World title there, that’s more than enough for me. But you…you can get your revenge, get that monkey off your back about their bitching about how you won that…Oh and then after we win the Tag Titles, which will probably happen because well, your ass apparently draws title shots….I’ll then shove all of the belts up your ass and beat you down so bad that you can spend the rest of your days making sure your kids are well out of trouble.”

Regan smirks.

Regan: “Makes perfect sense…even for someone as dumb as you.”

Amy balls up her fist and looks away for a moment.

Amy: “That will never happen.”

Regan steps back a bit.

Regan: “Hey…you need someone to help you kick ass. I’m willing to put my complete and utter hatred of you aside because I’m a bigger person. Now, you can be a petty bitch and that’s fine. You can get your shot at me again and I’ll prove last year was a fluke, but all you have to do is shake my hand and I’ll even add something else…we can take Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman out tonight. And I’ll give you that satisfying taste of revenge…the same I’ll have when I beat your ass into oblivion whenever this company stops protecting you.”

Regan smirks.

Regan: “And if it gets me the World, United States and World Tag Team Titles….and on your back too….I can’t think of any way better than to remind everyone that I’m the most dangerous Hellcat here.”

The crowd boos as Regan looks right at Amy.

Amy: “There’s two problems Regan…”

The crowd then starts to roar.

Amy: “I’m not stupid enough to help you get anything, especially when last time we danced one on one, I blew up your arrogant façade and laughed while I did it and I can do it again.”

Regan just glares at Amy.

Amy: “And other is that you’re going to have pull Stacy Kissinger’s boot from your ass to just be able to walk around!”

Regan then goes to nail Amy, but Stacy Kissinger had come down to the ring. She slides in behind Regan and Regan turns around and Stacy immediately tackles her down. The crowd roars. Tyler Tucker and Craig Thomas run down as Stacy nails Regan with a couple of shots as Mikaela then grabs Stacy and tries to pull her off. Amy walks over and grabs Mikaela. Mikaela pushes Amy back. Mikaela then steps back, realizing what she’s done.

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger from behind. Tackles down Regan!”

Knots: “Get her off! Mikaela!”

Sharper: “Amy getting Mikaela off of Regan, but oh boy…Oh boy…”

Officials head down to the ring as Thomas and Tucker hop onto the apron. Stacy gets a couple more shots in as Regan starts to get free. Kissinger gets up and goes to grab her, but Regan rolls out of the ring. Mikaela drops down to the floor as Thomas, Tucker and Kissinger stand in the ring. Kissinger looks at Regan as Regan holds her lip and Mikaela heads over to her. Officials head to the ring to keep people apart. Chastaine stands behind Adrenaline Rush as the crowd cheers. Regan keeps walking around, pacing now as Mikaela walks with her.

COMMERCIALS

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:

We see a shot of Dante McCaffery walking out of the building with his arm around Raven Tyler.

Sharper: “This happened during the commercial break. We’ve seen him leave immediately after his business was done and well…looks like he did what he wanted to tonight.”

Knots: “No shot against Ravyn Taylor. But he is leaving with Raven Tyler!”

Dante McCaffery leads her to his car. He opens the door and she steps inside. Dante then closes the door before opening the front passenger door and getting inside. We see Ms. Budde in the front seat as driver before the car drives off. The camera focuses on it for a moment before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Tyler Tucker vs. Amy Chastaine

SCW United States Championship

We return to the ring to see Amy Chastaine and Tyler Tucker still in the ring. Stacy Kissinger and Craig Thomas are at ringside with Tyler Tucker as Amy Chastaine watches Tucker. The SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Regan Street and Mikaela Street have returned to the back. Stacy Kissinger still out here with Craig Thomas to support their friend, Tyler Tucker, as we are about to see him challenge Amy Chastaine for the United States Championship!”

Knots: “Yeah, but Stacy probably is going to have a head on her swivel. Earlier tonight, her and Regan were chirping each other. Stacy says Regan will never be US Champion. Regan says Tyler won’t ever be champion.”

The bell sounds. Amy and Tucker move and Tucker dives at Amy, sliding down on his stomach before getting up as Amy moves out of the way. They step back and then lunge and Tucker ducks down around Amy and lifts her up and hits a Greco-Roman takedown. He then spins around and locks in a front face lock. The crowd roars as Tucker slowly pulls Amy up. Amy reaches up and then turns and starts to turn out of the front face lock. She turns into a wrist lock. Tucker flips forward and nips up and wrenches the arm of Amy and forces her down as she flips forward. Tucker goes for the pin.

Amy kicks out. Both get up and Tucker grabs her and pulls her in before scooping her up and slamming her down. Amy starts to get up and Tucker then leads in with a jab before another. Amy dodges both and moves back to the corner. Tucker then backs away as the crowd cheers and the referee ensures a break.

Sharper: “And Tucker looking strong in the early going, hasn’t been taken off his game based on what happened moments ago.”

Knots: “Amy may be.”

Sharper: “But also, let’s remember, Amy Chastaine was put behind the eight-ball, so to speak when Tucker beat her earlier this year in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament.”

Knots: “And Chastaine was able to win it though.”

Chastaine walks out and Tucker then turns and moves in and Amy kicks him in the ribs before wrenching his arm. Tucker winces. Chastaine holds on and jerks on it.

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Kissinger looks up as does Craig Thomas. Amy moves in and kicks him in the ribs and then again before whipping Tucker across.

Knots: “And both want to win.”

Tucker rolls over and starts to get up. Chastaine kicks him in the ribs. She nails him with a chop. The crowd woos. She then whips him into the ropes.

The crowd cheers a bit as Tucker looks down.

Sharper: “Not again. The second week in a row, Tucker, so caring of his friends, Mikaela cost him last week when they weren’t there. Regan this week arguably!”

Knots: “Does Amy even know?”

Sharper: “I don’t know. We’re still not clear if Kayl knew last week!”

Amy turns and the referee hands her the SCW United States Championship, but doesn’t raise her hand as Regan gets up and Stacy nails her with a forearm shot and then another. She goes back and grabs the steel chair. Mikaela tries to stop her, but Stacy glares at her and then pulls the chair away. Mikaela falls forward and down to the mats. Regan starts to get up and Stacy slams it into her back. Amy then turns and asks for a microphone. Phillips hands it to her as the official drops to the floor and gets between Stacy and Regan. Stacy holds the chair up. Tucker just looks down in disappointment. Craig grabs the chair and pulls Stacy back as a couple more officials come down from the back.

Sharper: “Craig Thomas pulling Kissinger back. Kissinger got one good shot in!”

Knots: “And they still have to fight.”

Regan starts to stir. Amy then turns and looks around.

Amy: “Hey…hey!”

Amy looks at Kissinger as she then turns to Regan. Regan winces as Regan looks up. Tucker slowly pulls himself up.

Amy: “No…I’m not going to let this happen this way. You have earned far too much for Regan to cost you this again. Add last week…I’m not going to take this win this way…and Regan, more and more you keep proving you’re not worthy of being a champion!”

The crowd roars. Regan just looks at her and hops onto the apron. Amy goes to nail her, but Regan backs up.

Amy: “Try me Regan…”

Amy turns to Tucker.

Amy: “Tyler…look at me…tonight, you proved that you could very well hold this and the only reason I got the three count was because she got involved. I’m not okay with that. So Tyler…I’m going to leave this ring. I’m going to the back and I’m going to find Mr. D and I’m going to ask for a rematch. US Title on the line.”

The crowd roars. Tucker looks at Amy with a bit of a smile on his face.

Amy: “You’re owed that, at least-“

Regan then slides into the ring and goes over towards Tucker. Kissinger turns and enters and the crowd roars. Tucker promptly goes for a hard right, but Regan ducks. She bounces off the ropes and Stacy suddenly tackles her down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Stacy spearing Regan! She’s just lost it as Regan went after Tucker!”

Tucker exits the ring and the referee gets Amy out.

Knots: “The ref is clearing the ring!

Sharper: “We gotta take a break! When we return, Stacy Kissinger and Regan Street are going to go at it!”

Kissinger nails Regan with a couple more shots as the a bell sounds. The crowd roars. We then cut away.

Regan Street vs. Stacy Kissinger

We return to Breakdown. We then see Stacy nailing Regan with a forearm and Regan nailing Stacy with a hard right and then another and another.

Sharper: “Regan fighting back as during the break. Stacy was all over Regan! Just keeping the fight.”

Knots: “And this is a fight! A true fight!”

Sharper: “Just a brawl.”

We see Craig Thomas and Tyler Tucker at ringside with Mikaela Street in Regan’s corner. Regan then wrenches the arm of Kissinger and kicks her in the ribs and then again and again and again before elbowing her in the back of the head. Kissinger falls over to the mat. She rolls over. Regan walks over and grabs her and pulls him up. She then nails her with a hard right. Kissinger falls to the corner. Regan then kicks her in the ribs and then whips her across. Kissinger hits the corner. Regan runs after her, but Kissinger gets a boot up. The crowd roars. Regan staggers back and Kissinger runs out and nails Regan with a hard clothesline. The crowd ohs. Regan rolls over, holding her head in pain. She starts to get up as Kissinger gets up a bit, wincing a bit.

Sharper: “Oh my! A huge clothesline! A Texas-sized clothesline!”

Knots: “Jesus! That could break a jaw!”

Kissinger starts to get up and Regan turns and Kissinger clubs her in the back and then again and again. She then runs her over and drives her face first into the top turnbuckle. Regan turns around and Kissinger then kicks her in the ribs before placing her foot on the throat of Regan. She pushes back as the crowd roars.

Kissinger steps off and snaps at the official. Thomas looks at Kissinger and tells her to calm down. Kissinger just snaps back to Regan and kicks her in the ribs. She whips her across and into the Adrenaline Rush corner. Kissinger runs after and goes for a running boot, but Regan moves out of the way. Kissinger winces and gets her leg caught up. Regan then turns and kicks out Kissinger’s other leg and she falls to the mat, yelling in pain. Regan walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Regan moving out of the way. Then going for the leg! Trying to injure Kissinger!”

Knots: “If it’s just her leg, that may be light with the way these two are going at it!”

Kissinger rolls over, holding her leg and starts to slowly get up and Regan turns and hits a chopblock. Kissinger falls back to the mat. She turns and Regan looks at Kissinger before kicking her hard in the spine. The crowd ohs. She kicks her again and then a third time. Kissinger rolls over as the crowd ohs with each shot. Regan then grabs Kissinger and drags her up. Kissinger winces a bit, limping a bit, before Regan runs her across and towards the corner where Mikaela is and runs her shoulder first into the ringpost. The crowd ohs and boos. Regan walks around the ring as Kissinger remains hung up in the corner. She slowly pulls herself up and drops to the mat. Regan then walks over to her and then hits a leg drop before getting up. She looks at Kissinger, shaking her head and leg dropping her a second time. She then gets up and hits a third leg drop before remaining down on her for the pin.

Kissinger kicks out.

Sharper: “Humiliating pin. Just staying on top of Kissinger. Such disrespect.”

Knots: “She kicked out. Probably just trying to make sure she has more energy to keep kicking her ass if she gets out!”

Kissinger rolls over as Regan gets up. She drags Kissinger up with a double handful of her hair before jumping up and just driving her back down to the mat. Kissinger rolls over and Regan goes for a more conventional pin.

Kissinger kicks out again. Kissinger turns and Regan grabs her and drags her up. Regan then kicks her in the ribs and whips her into the ropes. Kissinger bounces off and Regan goes for a clothesline. Kissinger ducks and stops. Regan turns around and Kissinger hits a dropkick. The crowd roars. Regan gets back up and Kissinger limps a bit and Regan goes to nail Kissinger, but Kissinger blocks her before kicking her in the ribs. She places her head between her legs before hoisting her up and planting her with a sitout powerbomb. The crowd ohs.

Regan kicks out and rolls out of it. Kissinger falls back and turns.

Sharper: “Big powerbomb, but not enough to keep Regan down.”

Knots: “She may need to do more to not just keep her down, but she wants to take out Regan to prevent her from getting an opportunity before Tucker wins the title!”

Kissinger turns and starts to get up. Regan pulls herself up and turns and Kissinger runs at her and nails her with a running boot. The crowd cheers. Kissinger moves to the ropes. She takes a moment and turns around. Regan slowly starts to stir and Kissinger walks over to her and Regan reaches up and rakes her eyes. Kissinger stumbles back. Regan then backs up and runs at her and clotheslines her up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs and boos. Kissinger stirs as Regan walks around the ring. She then turns and looks at Tucker before just chuckling. Tucker then walks over to the ring as Thomas stops him. He shakes his head no. We then see Kissinger looking under the ring and grabbing another steel chair. She pulls it up and rolls into the ring. Regan turns and jukes back a bit. Kissinger then starts to get up and Regan runs over and stomps the chair down. Kissinger lets go and Regan clubs her in the back and then again. She then pulls her away and nails her with a hard right.

Sharper: “Kissinger went for a chair!”

Knots: “Disqualify her! End it there! Or give Regan a free shot!”

Regan then grabs her and pushes her back. She knees him in the ribs and then again before whipping her across the ring. Kissinger hits the opposite corner and Regan heads over and Kissinger steps out and grabs Regan, going for the throat. Regan blocks it and knees her in the ribs. She hooks Kissinger’s head, but Kissinger blocks it and spins out before jumping forward and hitting a bulldog! The crowd roars. She goes for the pin.

Regan kicks out. Kissinger looks up and crawls over to the ropes and looks for the chair. She then looks at the official. Craig Thomas heads around and tells her to again calm down before Kissinger just gets up and looks at Regan.

Sharper: “Kissinger, nearfall. But you can tell that anger is boiling over a bit. These two hate each other.”

Knots: “Even sniping each other on Twitter earlier tonight.”

Sharper: “Craig Thomas trying to keep her focused. That relationship becoming more and more important to both individuals.”

She then turns around. Craig then warns Kissinger as Regan runs at her. Kissinger ducks a clothesline. Regan stops at the ropes. She turns around and Kissinger kicks her in the ribs. She then grabs her head and turns her around, but Regan blocks it. She then elbows her in the jaw and then again before grabbing her by the head. Kissinger elbows her in the ribs, but Regan turns and rolls through and into a sunset flip pin.

Kissinger rolls out. The bell sounds. Regan rolls over and gets up and Kissinger gets up and runs at her and both go through the ropes to the floor.

Sharper: “Regan Street gets the win, but Kissinger is not done the fight!”

Knots: “Right through the ropes!”

Regan and Stacy roll over and Stacy looks around and Thomas tries to stop her, but she then reaches under the ring and Regan turns and finds the chair from earlier. Stacy pulls a chair out from under the ring. They turn and immediately both swing and nail each other’s chairs. The crowd ohs as the impact rings throughout the arena. Both drop the chairs from the reverberations before Thomas pulls Kisisnger away. Regan then is stopped by Mikaela as the crowd boos. Kissinger yells at Regan as Regan just smirks. “Who’s Next” starts to play. Thomas pulls Kissinger to the back as Tucker starts to follow with them. Regan just watches as we cut away.

Backstage we see Amy Chastaine and Mr. D talking in one of the hallways.

Amy: “Sorry for holding you up.”

Mr. D: “Had to make sure that situation didn’t get more insane than it needed to.”

Amy: “But you then saw my request. I mean it. The kid deserves it. Especially with everyone playing games around him. Regan, Kayl…”

Mr. D: “Yeah, I heard it and it’s a nice gesture.”

Amy: “And?”

Mr. D: “No and. Frankly, he deserves a rematch. I’ll have to figure out what the hell to do with Regan to keep her away, but for Broken Beliefs, I’ll sign the rematch for the title, with one change.”

Amy: “Which is? Name it, I’ll agree.”

Mr. D: “Even if you won’t accept that win, you hold a win. He holds a win. And I want to make sure that whoever wins, proves they were the better competitor that night and hopefully without the extracurriculars. So I’m going to make it a best two out of three falls match.”

The crowd cheers.

Amy: “I’m more than cool with that….and as for last week-“

Mr. D: “We’ll figure it out.”

Amy: “Thanks.”

Mr. D: “Now, if you excuse me.”

Amy nods and Mr. D walks off as Amy smiles a bit and heads off in the opposite direction.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see Stacy Kissinger walking forward and turning around before snapping at Craig Thomas.

Kissinger: “Why did ya stop me? She deserved all that and more-“

Thomas: “Because you’re stooping to her level!”

Kissinger just looks at Craig.

Thomas: “You’re better than that.”

Kissinger: “Well, maybe I’m not-“

Just then, before Kissinger can even do more, we see Voigt step in from the side and nail Craig from the side with a boot. Kissinger immediately steps forward and nails Voigt with a hard shot and then another as Tucker goes to check on his friend. Voigt shoves Stacy back and steps back.

Voigt: “Just a receipt for last week….next time…he won’t getting up.”

Teufel is heard in the background.

Teufel: “YES! YES! BEAUTIFUL!”

He laughs as Voigt turns around and we see Akira Kimura also with him as they all walk off. Kissinger goes to follow after.

Tucker: “Stacy!”

Stacy stops and turns as Thomas starts to slowly get up, holding his jaw.

The arena suddenly goes dark as the arena lighting starts to simulate the look of lightning flashes. While the sound system starts to broadcast the sound of rain as white and blue confetti starts falling on both sides of the entrance. However, the sound of the rain is broken up with the voice of Samantha saying... "No rain on this parade..." which is followed by the start of "I Am The Fire" by Halestorm. The Cartel-tron comes to life showing Samantha standing out in a pretty looking field when all of the sudden it starts raining down onto her.

As the video continues to play Sam continues to stand in the field without running for cover. Instead, she looks up at the sky allowing the rain to pelt her face as she raises both of her arms up and for a quick several moments the footage flips to Sam doing that same motion, but holding up GDW Undisputed title and Tag titles.

When Sam finally steps out from behind the curtain the video changes again, but this time it starts to show clips from her greatest matches with Angela Jameson, Feature Presentation, and Jasmine. The cheering actually gets just a little bit louder as the GDW Hall of Famer stands at the top of entrance ramp right in the epicenter of the confetti falling around her. Sam smiles widely as she starts to make her way down to the ring.

Sharper: “Sam Raine made her shocking debut in SCW last week when she came from the crowd and went right for the SCW Women’s Champion, Sienna Swann!”

Knots: “How could she go after such a beautiful champion?!”

Sharper: “Well there’s the added wrinkle of the look that Gigi Steward gave her. Sienna Swann has been livid and Sam Raine, on Twitter, has made it clear she had big motivations, but more importantly, SCW has immediately capitalized and has signed Sienna Swann to defend her Women’s Championship against Sam Raine at Broken Beliefs!”

Sam alternates between the left and right side of the ring as she stops to take pictures with the fans, sign a few autographs, and for the younger fans giving a kiss on the cheek. Once she reaches the ring she walks over to the ring stairs and then jaunts up them on to the apron. She moves over to the center of the apron where she looks at all the fans with a smile on her face before she enters the ring, but she stops when she is just half way in to the ring. During that slight pause in her entering the ring she blows kisses to the fans before stepping through the middle ropes. She walks across the ring and looks around as she is handed a microphone. She takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring. Sam Raine looks around and nods before her music fades out.

Raine: “I’m not going to stand here and make some statement such as “This is SCW, huh?” or “Well I’ve finally arrived…” No, none of that needs to be said as I’ve had my eye on this place for a while and the stars didn’t align until a couple of weeks ago.”

Raine pauses a bit.

Raine: “See those who know me know that I’m a bit of an open book at times and there are a handful of people in this sport that I’ve been meaning to get to know much more up close and personal, if you know what I mean….They happen to all share the same last name…that of Street!”

The crowd roars.

Raine: “And I’ve not forgotten about the need to knock them down a few pegs, but while I was thinking about how this could finally be the start to my being able to get my hands on them, I’ve watched Breakdown, I’ve been catching up and I noticed one person in particular who needed to be brought down to earth and it all so happens that she is good friends with Regan Street…and it all became clearer. See, Sienna Swann just another one of those pretty girls that has some skill, damn, I’ll give her that, but as a champion…not at all and I’ve always believed in making an impact when showing up in a new place, so here we are. But what I didn’t expect was that impact would cause Sienna to get her precious head in a tizzy, but not just that….that SCW would give me a Women’s Championship match right out of the bat!”

The crowd roars. Sam looks around and smiles.

Raine: “Seems like many of you like that idea.”

Sam Raine smiles and goes to respond. Just then “Style” starts to play. We then see a shot of Sienna Swann, holding the SCW Women’s Championship over her shoulder, walk out from the back, flanked by the Truelove Twins. They flank her on either side as the crowd boos seeing her. Sienna has a microphone in her hand as she looks down at the ring. Sam turns and looks at Sienna before leaning on the ropes. The Truelove Twins remains standing next to Sienna as Sienna just glares at Raine.

Sienna: “This….all of this you’re experience…this spotlight….it’s because of me.”

The crowd boos a bit.

Sienna: “You talk about making an impact, you did that. But you also made a very big mistake. See, you mentioned the Streets and I talked to Regan about you and she…let’s just say after she stopped laughing, she told me to just take you out and end this.”

Raine: “You’re welcome to try Sienna.”

Sienna: “See, that’s the issue. I’m the Women’s Champion. You are the one that needs to prove anything. I have proven everything. I’ve proven I’m better than the Stewards. I’ve proven I’m better than Autumn Valentine, than Stacy Kissinger, than Kara Abheri and Bree Lancaster. I have proven that in that ring. You…you talk a big game and then you made your debut….consider that your high point. I’m not going to let you come in here and IMMEDIATELY take everything I’ve worked for just because you can. And trust me, I will make sure that you realize how stupid of a mistake you did.”

Raine: “Then come down to this ring and prove me wrong. Why wait? The Title match was a bonus to me. I was going after you!”

The crowd roars. Sam Raine starts to motion to the crowd to make more noise. Sienna just glares at the ring.

Sienna: “Just more of the difference between you and I…I’ll wait for the match. When the world is watching.”

Sienna then looks at the Truelove Twins as she turns and “Style” starts to play. Sienna returns to the back, glaring a bit as she walks through the curtain. The Truelove Twins just look in the ring and then turn and follow after her as Sam Raine just shakes her head and looks out at the crowd.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann not biting. Sam Raine was ready to let her get her revenge tonight.”

Knots: “A champion picks their spots. Sam Raine just wants to fight. Wants to make an impact. She made the wrong choice!”

Sharper: “Sam Raine challenges Sienna Swann at Broken Beliefs in eleven days on pay per view!”

Sam Raine remains in the crowd now playing to the crowd before we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage to show Christy Matthews leaning against a wall backstage, holding her Adrenaline Championship. Spirit Dansby is with her.

Spirit: “Christy, we found out earlier that you are going to defend your Adrenaline Championship against Kennedy Street at Broken Beliefs. But along with that, we saw Ethan von Aaron offer you money to end the match immediately.”

Christy: “What a fun business wrestling can be.”

Spirit: “So, have you thought about it? His offer?”

Christy: “Sure. I have. I thought about it the moment he asked it and it’s been on my mind here and there, between I’m hungry, and where’s the ladies’ room. And I’ll keep thinking about it. Because while Kennedy Street may talk about a title to win…I’m here to hold onto this and to keep holding onto this. Even if so many want to see it not be the case. And I think I’ve made it clear in the past…I’ll do anything to hold onto it. So Kennedy…let’s see how I choose to make sure you don’t walk away with this at Broken Beliefs. Congrats on the new contract though.”

Christy smirks and walks off as Spirit watches her leave a bit stunned as we cut away.

Breakdown we see Sienna Swann walking over towards an area of the backstage area as Laura Steinbeck walks over to her.

Laura: “Honey, Sienna, why did you even bother responding to that….that….I don’t know what.”

Sienna: “Because it’s wrestling. It’s what you do.”

Laura: “Well we need to fix that. You shouldn’t need to waste your time with her.”

Sienna: “You want me to hold this…I defend it and I get these nuisances out of my way for what you and I are both focusing on…”

Laura just nods.

Laura: “I’m just glad you didn’t get physical. We have a very nice photoshoot tomorrow.”

Sienna: “Wasn’t going to give her the opportunity.”

Sienna then heads off as the Truelove Twins follow her with Laura Steinbeck as we cut away.

Breakdown opens up backstage to see Autumn Valentine in her locker room. There’s a knock at the door. Autumn gets up and walks over to the door and opens it. Tommy Valentine is on the other side.

Autumn: “Tommy?”

Tommy: “Mind if I come in.”

Autumn: “Dawn sent you.”

Tommy: “She did.”

Autumn steps back as Tommy steps in.

Autumn: “So why does she want the match?”

Tommy: “Similar reason to you. Something ended. There’s now well, that figuring out what’s next process. Dawn isn’t happy waiting. I know you aren’t either. But here you are. This stuff with Gable…”

Autumn: “It’s constantly there and I don’t know.”

Tommy: “You helped him last week. There’s something there.”

Autumn: “Yeah…”

Tommy: “Just…Dawn wants the match for a simple reason. You and Gable are a damn good team. She wants to aim for the titles with me. This is a match where there’s respect. No looking over shoulders. Just competition. We both need it after you with DoD and Tainted Justice. Us with PUNK HAZARD. That’s why she-“

Autumn: “Fine…I’ll do it. Gable and Autumn against Dawn and you. I’ll agree.”

Tommy: “Thank you Autumn.”

Autumn: “May the best couple win….”

Tommy scoffs a bit.

Tommy: “May help you with your situation with Gable too.”

Autumn just lightly nods as we then cut away.

We see Syren walking out from Mr. D’s office. She takes a step before we see Spirit Dansby standing by waiting for her.

Spirit: “Syren, we’ve been waiting for you to come out. We wanted to talk to you about what happened last week. If we could…’

Syren sighs.

Syren: “I don’t know how much I can say...”

Spirit: “Well what happened?”

Syren: “I was attacked from behind. Someone clearly wanted to make someone think it was Kelcey or something. I don’t know. That part, I don’t know, I don’t understand. And I don’t know much more than that. I just know it wasn’t Dante, I heard their voice…wasn’t his. I’ve heard it before. I just don’t know where I’ve heard it before.”

Spirit: “So why were you talking with Mr. D?”

Syren sighs again.

Syren: “Because given that I’m standing here with a concussion and the fact that the flight alone here wasn’t a good idea, I shouldn’t be at the next couple of shows until I pass the tests. I won’t be competing for the next little while. And…I don’t know….someone wanted to take me out and they may have succeeded.”

Spirit: “You’ve had concussions before. I know that the science is new-“

Syren: “Yeah…but I’m a mother now…and things take a different path, even I’m confident I’ll be fine in a few weeks, even if the science is better, even if I’ll recover…there’s that what-if…I could be out for good. And I’m not okay with that…someone tried to do that either way and that….Plus, with everything with Ravyn….”

Spirit: “I’m sorry, Syren.”

Syren: “Don’t be…it’s happened. But I can’t wait until I can get back into that ring and figure out who the hell did this?”

Syren then walks off as the crowd boos a bit and we cut away.

“Immortals” plays and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We see a shot of Selena Frost and a shot of Kelcey Wallace.

Sharper: “Here we go. A huge main event. World Title shot on the line. Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost will clash for the third time in the last year. Who will come out the winner tonight? We’ll find out!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Kelcey Wallace vs. Selena Frost

Number One Contendership for the SCW World Championship

"BELIEVE IT!"

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for television time remaining and is to determine the number one contender to the SCW World Championship! First, on her way to the ring, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

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

Sharper: “Selena Frost just has to go through Kelcey Wallace, beat her for a third time in a row. Let’s remember this as Selena has had Kelcey’s number in big match situations. Best of the Best last year. At Apocalypse. Can she continue her streak against Kelcey!”

Knots: “But there’s one big question in all of this. We’ve seen her ribs be an issue for her. Against Cain, at Retribution, two weeks ago against Bree. Kelcey knows it. They’ve been competing together. That’s a big target if you ask me!”

The lights in the arena go out. The trumpets sound as the chorus for “Exodus” by Ernest Gold & Henry Mancini begins to as the crowd roars. Suddenly Kelcey Wallace rises from the floor standing on a stone pillar covered in a gorgeous white and gold cape with a hood, looking down and on one knee until the pillar completely rises to the top that is where she stands up and lifts her head.

Spreading her arms and unhooding herself revealing her perfect face with makeup and her hair slicked back in a ponytail, the camera flashes light up the arena when she then then drops her cape showing off her Perfect physique in new white and gold trim vinyl short tights with the cut off top and only her right arm sleeved, knee pads and boots with shin guards and “Perfection” written on her buttocks. She poses for a few moments while the crowd cheers, slowly she steps off the pillar.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Newport, South Wales, she is the Perfect Ten, Kelcey Wallace!”

After a few moments, Kelcey slowly walks down to the ring looking at the fans and then focusing back to the ring. Kelcey then climbs up the step. Kelcey climbs the turnbuckles and raises her arms as fireworks rain down from the rafters like a curtain of lights. She looks on nods and again poses for the fans and the arena whole the camera flashes are blinding. She drops down and goes to her corner. Kelcey lifts her knee pads up over her knees and stretches in the ring.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace focused. Selena Frost focused.”

Knots: “Think of it this way. Before they just figured they’d be competing. It was big at first between them. But now, title shot on the line. Before it was a potential step to it.”

Sharper: “And we know Vixen Cain is here. We know he’ll be watching. This match suddenly became far more important for him too.”

Selena and Kelcey just watch one another as the crowd roars. The bell sounds. Selena and Kelcey step out of their corners. They circle the ring as the crowd roars. They lunge and lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another as the crowd roars. Selena turns into a side headlock. She pulls back. Kelcey holds on a moment as she pulls Selena back and fires her off. Selena bounces off and Kelcey shoulders her down. Kelcey turns and runs into the ropes. Selena dives towards her and tries to trip Kelcey, but Kelcey hops over. She bounces off the other side and Selena hits a leap frog. Kelcey ducks and bounces off the other side and Selena goes for a hip toss. Kelcey blocks it. Selena tries again and Kelcey turns through and goes to counter. Selena blocks it, but Kelcey nails her in the ribs. Selena grimaces and Kelcey places her foot on the back of Selena’s head and backflips out. Selena goes for a clothesline. Kelcey ducks. Selena turns and Kelcey takes her down with a headlock takedown. The crowd roars a bit.

Selena turns her shoulder up and rolls to her stomach.

Sharper: “And right there, the ribs playing an early role.”

Knots: “Kelcey using them to keep the pressure.”

Sharper: “They’ve been around each other a lot. Very familiar with each other’s ways.”

Selena starts to slowly get her knees under her. Kelcey holds on and pulls back on the head. Selena gets her feet under her and Kelcey holds on. Selena pulls her back and to the ropes and fires her off. Kelcey bounces off and Selena steps forward and Kelcey shoulders her down. She promptly goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out. She sits up and Kelcey grabs the head again with a reverse chinlock.

Sharper: “And right to another weardown hold here. The chinlock. Kelcey keeping her grounded early.”

Knots: “Those kicks are what did her in in the past. So she’s making sure Selena can’t start using them.”

Selena turns and starts to get up. Kelcey holds on. She gets up too and Selena elbows Kelcey in the ribs. She elbows her again and turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Kelcey scoops her up, but Selena spins through and counters with an arm drag. Kelcey rolls through. She gets up and runs at Selena. Selena takes her down with an arm drag. She then pulls back on the arm. Kelcey kicks the mat as Selena keeps extending the arm. She then pulls her back and forces it down to the mat before Selena knees Kelcey in the arm. Kelcey pulls away and rolls away. Selena gets up and Kelcey gets up by the ropes. The two circle the ring again.

Sharper: “Selena quickly going for the arm, perhaps figuring out a target for her.”

Knots: “Or lulling Kelcey to protect the arm instead of her head!”

Selena and Kelcey lunge again and they grapple again and Kelcey pushes Selena back and into the corner. Kelcey pushes back and then grabs her and whips her across. Selena stops at the corner and Kelcey runs after and Selena jumps up and floats over. Kelcey stops at the corner. She turns and Selena hits a Japanese arm drag. Kelcey rolls through and gets up and Selena hits a dropkick. She goes for the pin.

Kelcey kicks out. She turns and gets up and Selena gets up and grabs her and spins around her and into a backslide.

Kelcey kicks out. Both get up and Selena scoops Kelcey up, but Kelcey slides down behind her. She then pushes her into the ropes and pulls back into an Okana roll.

Selena kicks out. Both get up and Kelcey kicks her in the ribs. Selena grimaces only for Kelcey to follow up with snap suplex. She goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Back to ribs. Then the suplex. The cover!”

Selena kicks out.

Knots: “As much as I hate to admit it, she takes more of a beating, but Kelcey’s making her work.”

Sharper: “Making her carry her weight. Making her exert pressure on those ribs. It’s all smart.”

Selena starts to get up and Kelcey chops her. The crowd woos. She chops her again. More woos. Kelcey pushes her into the ropes. She whips Selena off. Selena bounces off and Kelcey powerslams her down. She hooks the leg.

Selena kicks out. Kelcey gets up and grabs Selena, pulling her up. Kelcey then hits a Russian leg sweep. Kelcey rolls over and gets up and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a running elbow drop, but Selena rolls out of the way. Kelcey grimaces and gets up and Selena kicks her in the ribs. He then vertical suplexes Kelcey down. Kelcey stirs, grabbing at the ropes. She turns around and Selena grabs her and runs her face first into the top turnbuckle. Kelcey turns and Selena kicks her in the ribs and then again before nailing her with a back elbow. She whips Kelcey across. Selena runs after. Kelcey moves out of the way, but Selena jumps to the top rope. Kelcey turns and Selena dives off with a twisting crossbody into a pin.

Kelcey kicks out. Selena turns, holding her ribs a bit.

Sharper: “Nearfall. Selena hurting herself to take Kelcey down. Almost caught her in the head, but not enough to keep her down.”

Knots: “So not perfect?”

Sharper: “No…”

Knots: “Why not just torture her!”

Sharper: “Right in the middle of the ring and Kelcey Wallace using her experience advantage and locking in a hold many don’t execute well. Selena’s face tells me it’s on perfectly.”

The crowd roars and a mixed reaction comes as Kelcey pulls back. Selena grimaces in pain and shakes her head. The referee keeps checking on her as Kelcey keeps pulling back.

Sharper: “Selena’s heart now on display. Fighting out of it and now sending Kelcey to the floor!”

Knots: “She’s on the apron. Go back in. Let her get counted out!”

Sharper: “Selena watching Kelcey now…”

Kelcey slowly gets up on the floor and winces a bit. (2) She holds her arm a bit as Selena then turns and jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a moonsault onto Kelcey. The crowd roars. Selena crashes into the barricade too and both fall to the floor. (1) The crowd cheers loudly.

Knots: “And Selena’s ribs took a jarring too. Both are down.”

Sharper: “They both want to be the next challenger for the World Title. Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost down!”

The referee continues his count. (2) We cut to a wide shot of the arena to show the crowd cheering as Kelcey and Selena are down at ringside. (3)

Sharper: “We are here live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A capacity crowd here to watch Selena Frost and Kelcey Wallace compete to face Vixen Cain at Broken Beliefs!”

Knots: “Right now, Vixen Cain may just be laughing. Kelcey’s arm sore. Selena’s ribs and they’re destroying each other!”

Selena starts to get up and Kelcey grabs at the barricade. Selena grabs Kelcey. (6) She then spins her around and rolls her into the ring, keeping Kelcey’s head over the apron.

She gets to the top, but Kelcey gets to her feet and reaches up and nails Selena in the ribs. Selena grimaces in pain. Kelcey nails her again in the ribs. She then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Kelcey in pain. Selena trying to figure out what to do here.”

Sharper: “Kelcey’s arm also bothering her. You notice that Kelcey’s intentionally using her feet more after trying to ground Selena in the early match.”

Selena gets up on the apron. Kelcey starts to get up and Selena then springboards to the top rope and flips forward and hits a dragonrana. The crowd ohs!

Kelcey starts to move, frantically trying to get to the ropes. Selena keeps pulling and Kelcey then turns and hooks her own arm. Kelcey turns and slowly rolls towards Selena.

Sharper: “Selena trying for the Frost’s Bite. Trying to go after that arm she’s targeted!”

Knots: “Kelcey I think figured she can’t get to the ropes. She’s trying to fight it!”

Sharper: “Trying to roll towards Selena. One of the few counters to the armbar!”

Kelcey manages to roll over and Selena’s shoulders are down.

She turns around and Kelcey fights through the pain and launches Selena up and then just kicks her hard in the ribs on the fall. Selena rolls over, yelling in pain. Kelcey falls over to the ropes. She then holds her shoulder before getting up.

Sharper: “Oh God…we’ve seen Kelcey use an European uppercut in the past, but that was just a kick, right to the ribs, for pain, for distance.”

Knots: “Well both are hurt. Kelcey’s holding her arm and Selena’s ribs now have to be broken, rebroken, something.”

Selena rolls over, holding her ribs in pain. Selena grabs at the ropes as Kelcey turns around and Selena turns too and both extend their feet, trying to respective Yakuza kicks and connect, knocking each other down. The crowd ohs as Selena rolls away and Kelcey remains down on her back. The referee in the ring, starts to count.

Selena and Kelcey move slowly. (4) Just then, we hear the sound of the ring bell. The crowd boos as the referee looks around surprised as we then see Merrick Wiseman hopping over the barricade, grabbing the hammer for the ring bell. He throws the ring bell down as Wiseman starts to walk to the ring. The referee heads to him. Wiseman just calls off the match.

Sharper: “What the hell is this? Merrick Wiseman having come from the crowd! He just rang the bell!”

Knots: “He’s now arguing with the referee-“

We then see Vixen Cain walk out from the back, with a microphone in his hand. The crowd boos as Cain proudly holds the SCW World Championship over his shoulder. He then starts to take a few steps forward. Kelcey and Selena both start to get up.

Cain: “Demitra….you really should listen to Wiseman, because it seems like he’s thinking of the best interests of the talent. Clearly both are injured!”

Cain continues to head to the ring. Wiseman hops onto the apron.

Cain: “It just only serves to remind everyone that people like Kelcey or Selena aren’t capable of competing at this high level without showing their vulnerabilities…”

Cain winks at the camera.

Cain: “But at least someone here has some experience looking out for the best interests of people…two of us actually! And that’s why Wiseman ended the match. As SCW World Champion, I wanted to ensure that more people wouldn’t be forced to end their careers over opportunities that D knows would never happen. As I’ve said…neither of you deserve a shot at this and nothing I’ve seen here changes my mind. In fact, both of you should probably take time off for your arm…and your ribs…”

Cain hops onto the apron. He enters the ring and Wiseman does too. Kelcey gets up and Selena turns and lunges at Cain and Cain kicks her in the ribs. She falls over and down to the mat. Kelcey goes for Merrick, but Merrick blocks the shot, taking advantage of her fatigue and then wrenches the arm. Kelcey grimaces and falls back.

Cain: “But it’s fun watching this…as people fight hoping they could face me…but I said it clearly. This is my title and I call the shots now.”

Cain then heads to the official. He gets in his face.

Cain: “So this is now a no contest and neither are getting their shot at me.”

The crowd boos as Cain smiles. We then see a couple of officials along with Mr. D walk out from the back. Aaron Demitra gets in face. Cain just shakes his head. Wiseman then turns and grabs him and throws him out of the ring.

Cain: “Seems that we need someone who can police things properly, aint that right Merrick.”

Selena holds her ribs as she starts to get up. Kelcey looks up and Wiseman keeps watching her as she holds her arm.

Sharper: “This is sickening. These two…Cain has had problems with female champions and undoubtedly that’s influencing him here, but this…he’s ruined a great match between two true champions!”

Knots: “Hey! Neither are holding the belt! Cain is!”

Sharper: “The boss is coming down to the ring.”

Cain turns and yells at Mr. D as Mr. D tells him to leave the ring. Cain shakes his head no as Mr. D gets to the ring.

Sharper: “I’m being told we need to take our final commercial break. We’re going to take that and hopefully figure this out. Mr. D has a hell of a situation here.”

Knots: “Selena and Kelcey, neither won! Neither earned the shot!”

Sharper: “Best for the competitors…the referee has his discretion!”

The scene then starts to fade to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Mr. D standing in the ring as Selena Frost is in the corner, leaning forward a bit, presumably because of her ribs. Kelcey also in the ring, holding her arm and shaking it out as she can. Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman are now on the floor as officials stand between them and the ring. Cain still has his microphone.

Mr. D: “Are we back….someone damn tell me? We live?”

Mr. D looks around and apparently gets the response he wants as he turns around.

Mr. D: “Unfortunately, thanks to these two, we’ve had a great match ruined, but Vixen…it doesn’t change much in my mind.”

Cain: “Well then make clear to one of them who your favourite is…and then I’ll show that just like with the US title, unless you openly screw me over, you’ll never get this off me!”

Mr. D scoffs a bit.

Mr. D: “See, Vixen, you continue to misread no matter how well you know me….see, you can claim that you ‘ended’ this because you elected they were too injured to continue. Unlike you back in November, you never were cleared…they were…and I trust Aaron Demitra to make the right decision…just like he has when Kelcey and Selena faced last year at Best of the Best and ended the match. Just he threatened to do at Hazardous Envy and just like I trust all officials to do. You two….well, you want to be that transparent about how you don’t respect them or want them to challenge you, that’s on you.”

Mr. D then looks at Wiseman.

Mr. D: “And nothing is going to make me trust that man standing next to you Cain. Nothing.”

Cain: “Now who’s being transparent, D-“

Mr. D turns back to Selena and Kelcey.

Mr. D: “But back to the matter at hand, I said that this match was going to determine the number one contender. Thanks to Vixen and Merrick, we don’t have that answer….but fortunately, I have a solution I’m pretty sure both of you are going to like. At Broken Beliefs…both Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost are going to get their shot!”

The crowd roars. Cain just smirks and laughs a bit. He starts to shake his head.

Cain: “You know what…That doesn’t scare me at all, D….remember Rise to Greatness. I took out a much smarter person…Kelcey, you remember her, right, you couldn’t get it done… and Selena’s old flame and won the US title…On a much bigger stage….so sorry, D….burn through your hand more-“

Mr. D: “Oh this won’t be a triple threat.”

Cain looks at the ring.

Mr. D: “See, what we’re going to do is at Broken Beliefs, we’re going to see both Kelcey and Selena get a World Title shot….And we’re going to see it all kick it off with the woman you’re playing mind games with….Vixen, Selena gets the first crack at you.”

Selena smiles. Cain just scoffs.

Mr. D: “And whoever wins that match, will face Kelcey Wallace later in the evening with the title on the line.”

Kelcey smiles too.

Cain: “So Kelcey’s your favourite. Nice easy path to the main event…see Selena-“

Mr. D: “No…she’ll be competed earlier in the night as well. See, she’ll be able to make sure you can’t pull the same crap tonight if she’d like. Because she’ll face Merrick Wiseman before she gets her World Title shot!”

The crowd roars.

Mr. D: “So no matter what…two matches for everyone…and we’ll see who deserves what and if you walk out as World Champion, Cain….”

Sharper: “Both Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost are going to get their title shots! Cain needs to defend it twice if he wants to retain!”

Cain just scoffs and shakes his head.

Knots: “Kelcey gets Wiseman to start. Selena gets Cain and then the winner of that faces Kelcey later.”

Sharper: “Talk about a hell of a way to settle this all. Neither won, both get the opportunity and Cain has to deal with two angry women if he wants to walk out as Champion!”

Knots: “And Selena gets her rematch. Kelcey gets her shot!”

Cain shakes his head and just heads to the back. Wiseman looks at Kelcey and smirks a bit as he turns around too. Kelcey and Selena continue to watch them as Mr. D looks around, clearly upset as Breakdown slowly fades to black…
