“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:

 

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Brittany Lohan locking in the From California with Love before freezing and flying past the screen. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx pulling on a barbed wire wrapped bat stuck on Dillusion’s hair and then ripping away as Dillusion smiles from the sudden pain, before freezing and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

We see Dillusion hitting Anthony Wallace with a hard right hand before freezing and flying at the screen. A shot of Jason Zero dropping Sasha Drachewych with the Chaos Theory is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of David Helms holding the SCW World Championship over his head, before switching to a shot of Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

Shots of Gigi Steward and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Lucas Knight hitting someone with the UKOD, and followed by a shot of Shawn Winters hitting the Graven Image on Greg Cherry are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of the former SCW Tag Team Champions, Karnivale, are shown, posing with the titles before flying past the screen.

 

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

 

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Anthony Wallace, Mike Harrison, Thorn & David Helms, Lucas Knight, Karnivale, Ducky, Warren James, James Evans & Katelyn Buehler, Infamous and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.

The scene then switches to the inside of the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena before we sweep down to ringside.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the Land Down Under as Breakdown, for the first time in SCW history, comes to you from Australia and a huge show awaits these fans packed into the Acer Arena in Sydney. Huge night!”

 

A still of Chad Evans & Katelyn Buehler vs. Stacy Kissinger & Gable Winchester comes up on the screen with the SCW World Tag Team Championship underneath them.

 

Dawson: “That’s right. The World Tag Team Championship will be on the line when the Gospel, Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler, defend against the former champion, Stacy Kissinger and Gable Winchester here tonight! Their rematch happens tonight!”

 

Sharper: “But that’s not all. A huge one on one match will take place tonight.”

 

Kayl: “Not just one, but many!”

 

A new still comes up on the screen, this one showing David Helms versus Masquerade.

 

Sharper: “That’s true. But this one may be the biggest. David Helms and Masquerade will meet up here tonight, one on one!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Shilo Valiant will be in action. All of the ladies of Infamous will be in action! Thorn is going to show what CHBK is in for when he faces off against Damian Angel tonight! So much going on. Oh man, these fans are in for a treat!”

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

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

Greg Cherry walks down the aisle and looks out into the audience and stares out into the crowd. He looks towards both sides and then bends down and raises both his arms up in the air. His right hand has his middle and pointer finger and thumb extended while his left hand has his pointer finger extended. Pyro shoots out from behind him as he looks straight up. He then begins walking down to the ring as the cheers rain down from the fans.

He enters the ring and brings both his hands to his head as if he's saluting then flings his arms out to his sides then brings them back with the "Penn Sen" hand gesture. He turns around and does this to the other side of the ring before turning back around, raising his hands with the "VLI" symbol.

He then drops down and walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone from Jason Phillips.

 

Dawson: “Breakdown is opening up with Greg Cherry joining us. At Riding the Lightning, he will face David Helms on the first night for the SCW World Championship. Should he then win, he’ll have to defend both the World Championship and US Championship against Shilo Valiant on Night Two.”

 

Sharper: “Huge matches for Greg Cherry. We know of his hardships since Gang Rulz. His ill-thought out bet with his family...”

 

Kayl: “Well I hope he gets it back, but you just don’t do that. I’m surprised at how quickly still Greg sold his wife and kid down the river for a boost in motivation.”

 

Sharper: “Had Shawn Winters not interfered though, who knows if it could have worked.”

 

Greg Cherry is handed his microphone as he turns and straightens the United States Championship belt on his shoulder. He then walks over to the middle of the ring as the crowd continues to cheer a bit and Greg looks around at the Australian crowd.

 

Cherry: “Finally SCW has come down here to Australia and damn it feels good to be the first guy out in front of you all.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit as Greg smirks.

 

Cherry: “Now as many of you know, SCW is having a bit of a pay per view in a couple of weeks on the sixteenth and seventeenth of April and on the first night, I have my World Championship shot against David Helms.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit more.

 

Cherry: “I don’t think I need to stress anymore how important this opportunity is. We’ve seen people like Christy Matthews come out and talk about how the World Championship would be the notice they want to know they’ve made it. We’ve heard Jake Starr talk about how everyone wants to be World Champion. Well, for me, it’s so much more than that. I came into this business with the same goal as everyone else. To be World Champion and I’ve reached that plateau. I’m a former three time World Champion. But...I haven’t held it since 2007. Since 2007, I’ve held Tag Team gold. I’ve been the Adrenaline Champion. I’m currently the reigning United States Champion and I wouldn’t trade that for anything either. I’m proud to be champion. But everyone who has half of a working brain, knows how much it means to be World Champion!”

 

Greg pauses for a moment as the crowd buzzes.

 

Cherry: “But Riding the Lightning is going to be so much more to me. I don’t need to hear how dumb my deal was at Gang Rulz. I don’t need to hear about the what-ifs. And honestly, I don’t need to be reminded about Shawn Winters. I did something unbelievably stupid. I risked my wife and kids, I risked the opportunity to spend Christmas with them, go on family vacations, even Easter in a couple of weeks all because I wanted the World Championship that much. I’m going to keep hearing how dumb that is forever and a day. But, I have to ask...is there ANYONE in this company that wants to be World Championship more than me?!”

 

Greg pauses as the crowd cheers a bit and he looks right into the main camera.

 

Greg: “We keep hearing about how many people want to be champion. We know Jason Zero always has his eyes on that title. Jake Starr gunned for it right from the start. Lucas Knight wants his try again. Masquerade wants his chance. Shilo Valiant even, whether he’ll admit it or not, he cares more than just about entertainment, and cares about the World Championship too. But have any of you really risked anything for it. What would ANY of you do for it? What would ANY of you do to keep it once you have it? That question is to you Helms. People care say it’s stupid, but until they are in my position, they can’t judge. People can say this is going to be another shot I’m going to squander. Do you think I like the fact that I can always get myself in striking distance of being the World Champion yet again, but falter? Do you think I really like that?!”

 

Greg pauses as he starts to calm down.

 

Greg: “I will do anything to be World Champion. People can criticize that all they want. I laugh every time I go onto Twitter or hear people going ‘I don’t want to obsess about the World Title.’ The problem with that is they don’t even realize the hold it has. EVERYONE wants to be the best in this company. That championship belt represents it. It means you are THE guy. And I want to be THE guy one more time. This...”

 

Greg holds up the US championship.

 

Greg: “This means everything to me as well. And anyone who thinks that if I become World Champion, I won’t defend it...you’re dreaming. But I’m within striking distance of the World Championship. And not only do I finally get what I want professionally, but after April 16th, sorry Helms....but personally, I’m going to do anything I can to win. I’m going to do anything I can to get my family back by my side. I’m going to win the World Championship and return to the top of the mountain both inside....and outside this ring!”

 

The crowd roars before Greg turns and we then see the big screen come to life.

 

WHEN DID YOU LAST MAKE A CHOICE THAT HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE?

The words flash up on the screen as the arena lights cut out completely, plunging the room into complete darkness. The sounds of a thunder storm echo around the arena as the crowd view the large screens either side of the entrance way.

WHAT IF THAT CHOICE ISOLATED YOU FROM EVERYONE THAT YOU HELD DEAR, WOULD YOU BUCKLE UNDER THE PRESSURE?

The room is electric as the sound of thunder continues to roll through the arena, whipping the crowd into a wild frenzy.

WOULD YOU DO THE RIGHT THING OR WOULD YOU TOW THE LINE LIKE THE REST OF THE CROWD?

As the thunder storm rolls to a crescendo the entire stage lights up with brilliant bright light in time with the final crack of lightning. The opening riff from a remixed version of “All I Want” by A Day To Remember hits the pa system as the crowd realise that David Helms is now stood on the stage; only his silhouette viewable as a result of the blinding white light shining from behind him. As the intro draws to a close, Helms throws his arms into the air, his hands held together in the Self High Five.

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

The intro gives way to the chorus of the song, the lyrics of which flash up on the screen, as Helms jumps in the air, breaking his hands apart. As he lands, fireworks erupt on either side of the stage before the arena’s lights come back on. Helms just looks at Greg before starting to walk to the ring with the SCW World Championship sitting over his shoulder. He continues on his way to the ring before hopping onto the apron. He looks at Greg as Greg turns to him. Helms then enters the ring. He looks over at Greg before walking past him and asking for a microphone. He is handed one and he turns around and walks over to Greg.

 

Kayl: “World Champion David Helms now joining us.”

 

Sharper: “The two men who will face at Riding the Lightning, Night One, standing face to face right now.”

 

Helms looks at Greg before slowly bringing the microphone up to his mouth.

 

Helms: “Greg....I don’t disagree with a lot of what you say. This title on my shoulder...it is what everyone aims for. In some way or another...everyone looks to be the best at what they do. But what I disagree with....is whether I’m going into this match at Riding the Lightning looking at my competitor or if I’m looking at someone who is so desperate that they are going to try what Christy tried and failed at Retribution...and that’s throw everything at me. You and I fought along side each other for months against Infamous. And I know you’ve been willing to give it your all every step of the way. I respect to hell what you’ve done. But Greg....do I need to know that whether I have to keep looking my shoulder because you’re looking to right a wrong, instead of proving you’re the best in this company today!”

 

The crowd cheers and Greg just looks at him.

 

Helms: “Any other day, any other time, I know you and I would come out here. We’d leave it all in the ring. But I hope that you respect me enough to flat out tell me whether or not I’m going to have to watch my back every step of the way. I want to know whether I’m going to get the competition I want from you....or if I need to look out for any shortcuts so you can have your happy family reunion...again, not just outside this ring...but inside of it.”

 

The crowd roars a bit and Greg just looks at Helms.

 

Helms: “So what is it?”

 

Greg: “David....the fact that you’re asking the question...it really makes me wonder if you’re ready to hold that belt.”

 

The crowd boos a bit as Greg pauses.

 

Greg: “Because you’re the World Champion. You’re the man with the target on your back. Just like I’m the man with a target on my back for holding my US Championship. Just like Gospel has a target. Just like Syren. Just like Warren James. Just like Hallucigen! All of them have targets. But David...if you want everything to be on the up and up, you want to make sure that you can always have that competition....then you don’t know what you’ve gotten into. But....as for your questions...”

 

Greg pauses.

 

Greg: “I think I just gave you your answer.”

 

Helms: “Then Greg...I hope you’re ready to scale a brick wall. Because Christy tried it. She failed. Jake Starr tried it. He failed. I’m not going to take any shortcuts against you. But if you do.....BANG!”

 

The crowd roars as “All I Want” starts to play throughout the arena. Greg Cherry and David Helms just continue to look at each other. The crowd continues to cheer as the camera focuses on them.

 

Sharper: “Two champions and Greg Cherry almost delivering a message to David Helms that even though there is that respect, so much is on the line.”

 

Dawson: “With the World Championship, people have done some interesting things to get it. Helms may have a hell of a time dealing with a desperate man in Greg Cherry at Riding the Lightning!”

 

Sharper: “You have to wonder what Shilo Valiant is thinking seeing this. He faces the winner the night after.”

 

Kayl: “But if they destroy each other. They wreck each other...it’s only better for him.”

 

The crowd continues to cheers as Helms and Cherry continues to stare down before “Rescue Me” starts to play in the background again and we see a still come up on the screen showing David Helms vs. Masquerade.

 

Sharper: “Well we will see David Helms in action later tonight. He faces off against Shilo Valiant’s tag team partner Masquerade!”

 

The still then changes and we see Kiss-Chester vs. The Gospel for the World Tag Team Championship.”

 

Dawson: “And that’s not all. The World Tag Team Championship will be on the line. Kiss-Chester challenges and gets their rematch against the Gospel tonight!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Dillusion, Hallucigen & Ducky vs. Juan Ramirez, Joachim Fiore & Sebastian Shane

 

Breakdown returns and we see Juan Ramirez in the ring with Joachim Fiore pacing back and forth. We then turn to the entrance way as the opening for Requiem for a Tower plays throughout the arena and we see Shane, wearing a white and gold robe, embroidered with jewels. Miss Violent Black and Mr. Grecko flank him as he reaches the ring. .

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to the arena here and as you can see Sebastian Shane making his entrance. Juan Ramirez and Joachim Fiore coming to the ring during the commercials.”

 

Dawson: “Rumour has it that Shane purchased airtime to ensure his entrance would be shown all over the world.”

 

Kayl: “Oh probably. I mean if you have a robe that costs more than my house, you probably need to make sure you get your own spotlight even in a damn six-man tag!”

Once they both reach the bottom of the ramp Grecko takes point at the foot of the ring looking back up at the entrance way, as Sebastian Shane walks around to the nearby steel steps and stands at the foot of them as Miss Black slowly walks up, and then along the apron before turning to face her employer. Shane nods his head with an aura of confidence as she sits on the middle rope now lifting up the top with her shoulder as he now walks up the stairs and across the apron before entering the ring with a slight hop before spinning once and opening his robe to reveal his athletic physic which gets a few screams from the female fans. While the majority of fans continue to boo, Shane then extends his arms with his head lowered for effect as Miss Black now comes from behind him and removes the robe folding neatly in her arms and exits the ring herself leaving Sebastian to pull at the ropes and prepare for his match loosening his neck and shoulders in the process. He then turns and looks at Fiore and Ramirez and just tells them to leave the ring. Fiore just looks at Shane smirking as Ramirez just looks at Shane as if he’s crazy.

 

Kayl: “Good luck with that.”

 

Dawson: “He’s trying to get them out of the ring and Fiore and Ramirez aren’t exactly receptive to that!”

 

The screen suddenly goes to static and then there is a blast of pyro that falls from seemingly the sky onto the entrance way with a giant crashing noise. “Crazy Train” by My Bloody Valentine begins to pump through the arena speakers. Shane backs away as Fiore looks to the entrance way. The camera moves into the entrance way where there is a large mass of fire. The fire grows several feet high on the big screen it shows a figure kneeling in the center of the flames. The figure slowly rises and looks directly at the camera as it slowly zooms in. This reveals Dillusion eyeing the camera with a sadistic look, stepping forward through the flames, licking his lips.

As Dillusion walks out, we see Ducky skip out behind him and Hallucigen, holding the Underground Championship, looking around. The crowd cheers as Dillusion continues to the ring as Ducky and Hallucigen continue on their way following hm. Dillusion then moves down the entrance way looking through the audience walking at a slow methodical pace. He laughs a little and then rolls under the middle rope. He kneels in the center of the ring he snaps at the direction of the audience and then leaps up to his feet rushing to the other side of the ring, leaping up onto the middle rope and making a gun sign and pointing out to the audience. Ducky enters the ring and skips around the ring as Hallucigen rolls in and looks up before glancing at the crowd and hugging his Underground Championship.

 

Sharper: “Arguably the oddest trio and if you add Anthony Wallace, the most unpredictable. Either way, Dillusion has had his issues with Saber and they even went searching for him in Las Vegas with no luck.”

 

Kayl: “Ducky added Brittany Lohan to that search too. I don’t know what to say. They have someone who is nuts and probably would love to bathe in the blood of Rejected and Dillusion and they’re playing hide and seek!”

 

Dillusion continues to look around before Shane then goes to run towards him, but Dillusion looks at him. Shane stops and backs away as Dillusion smirks. Ducky and Hallucigen exit the ring, but Fiore then runs up behind Dillusion and clubs him in the back. Dillusion stumbles forward and Shane quickly exits the ring. Dillusion turns around and Fiore nails him with a hard right and then a kick to the ribs before grabbing Dillusion by the hair and just yanking him out by it, causing him to flip forward. Fiore turns around and mounts Dillusion and hammers away at him as the crowd starts to boo more. Dillusion covers up as Fiore nails him with a couple more good shots. Fiore then gets up and Hallucigen enters the ring to stop Fiore, but Fiore quickly kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a hard right. Hallucigen rolls out of the ring and Fiore turns around and glares at Dillusion. Dillusion starts to get up and Fiore kicks him in the ribs. Dillusion falls back into the wrong corner and Fiore walks in and just starts to choke him in the corner. But as he does, Shane tags himself in. Fiore glares at him and lets go and Shane enters and Shane quickly nails Dillusion with a hard right, causing him to fall to the middle of the ring. Shane smirks and Fiore exits the ring. Dillusion then starts to get up and Shane walks over to him only for Dillusion to suddenly grab him and take him over with a belly to belly suplex. The crowd cheers and Shane rolls over. Dillusion then rolls over gets up and tags in Ducky. Ducky enters the ring and Shane gets up only for Ducky to take him down with a Lou Thesz press, forcing him down, but while starting to bite the forehead of Sebastian Shane. Shane yells in pain and flails around as the referee calls for the break.

 

Sharper: “Ducky enters the ring and immediately starts to bite at the forehead of Sebastian Shane!”

 

Kayl: “It’s a one million dollar forehead bite. I wonder if he’s made of filet mignon!”

 

Dawson: “Either way, Shane coming in and immediately turning the tide of the match against his team!”

 

Ducky gets up after a count of four and Shane rolls over. He starts to get up and Ducky turns and runs into the ropes and jumps up and knees Shane in the side of the head. Shane rolls through and gets back to his feet. He then gets up and Ducky walks over and kicks him in the ribs. She nails him with a forearm before going to whip Shane across the ring, but Shane spins through and pulls Ducky into a stiff clothesline. The crowd boos and Ducky rolls over. She starts to get up and Shane grabs Ducky and lifts her up before throwing her back with a back suplex. Shane then rolls over and pushes down on her chest with a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ducky kicks out. Shane looks at her and lifts her up before dragging her to her feet. Shane nails her with a straight right, knocking her down. Shane then turns and walks over to the corner and pulls himself up onto the middle turnbuckle. He looks out and smiles before diving forward and attempting a forward elbow drop, but Ducky rolls out of the way. Shane pops up and shakes out his arm before Ducky gets up and dropkicks him back. He falls back and into the corner with his teammates. Fiore immediately tags himself in and Ducky gets up and tags in Hallucigen. Hallucigen then enters the ring and runs at Fiore only for Fiore to enter and run at him and drill him with a clothesline, knocking him down, getting more boos from the crowd. Fiore then looks at Shane and taunts him, the camera picking up Fiore saying “That’s how it’s done!”

 

Dawson: “A little bit of tension between Fiore and Shane.”

 

Sharper: “Not that surprising given their backgrounds. Shane has everything handed to him because of his wealth. Fiore has had to scratch and claw for everything.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah well Shane better watch his wallet. Fiore looks like the type to swipe it at a moments notice. You know, just like he took Hallucigen’s head off....figuratively, at a moment’s notice.”

 

Fiore then turns and grabs Hallucigen and lifts him up before Hallucigen hits a jawbreaker. Fiore staggers back a bit and Hallucigen gets up and jumps up and nails Fiore with a knee to the jaw. Fiore falls back into the ropes. He starts to get up and Hallucigen gets up and jumps up and grabs Fiore before whipping him across the ring. Fiore bounces off the ropes and Hallucigen nails him with a vicious knee to the ribs and Fiore flips forward and into a seated position. Hallucigen turns and knees him in the back before going for a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Fiore kicks out. Hallucigen looks down and grabs Fiore. He then starts to lift him up before dragging him over and Hallucigen tags in Dillusion. Dillusion enters and Hallucigen jumps up and hits a lungblower before Dillusion jumps up and hits a senton to the ribs of Fiore. The crowd ohs and Hallucigen rolls over, almost getting giddy as Dillusion glances at him and pushes him into the ropes, telling him to leave the ring. Hallucigen shakes his head, clearing himself out before exiting and Dillusion goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Fiore rolls his shoulder off the canvas.

 

Dawson: “Hallucigen almost getting giddy at the idea of doing a double-team move with his idol.”

 

Kayl: “Almost giddy. He looked like he was moments away from needing to change his pants. I’m thankful he composed himself, but still, that was just creepy!”

 

Dillusion then grabs Fiore by the head and lifts him up before taking him over with a vertical suplex. He then gets up and turns, running into the ring, only for Shane to knee him in the back. Dillusion stops and turns around and nails Shane with a hard right. He falls onto the apron before Grecko walks over and holds him up, keeping him on the apron. Dillusion then turns around and Fiore lifts him up and spinebusters him over. He then pops up and turns as Juan Ramirez tags himself in. Ramirez enters and looks at Dillusion as Dillusion winces. Ramirez then nails him with a jab to the jaw before nailing him with a shot to the ribs and then kicks him in the ribs before double underhook suplexing Dillusion over. Ramirez floats over for a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ducky pulls him off. Ramirez rolls over and looks up and Ducky quickly jumps back and jumps over the top rope and back to the apron before grabbing the tag rope and emphatically letting everyone know. Ramirez just shakes his head as he looks at Dillusion and clubs him in the back of the head with an elbow. Dillusion rolls over and Ramirez grabs him and lifts him up. He then fires him into the ropes. Dillusion bounces off the ropes and Ramirez attempts a clothesline. Dillusion, however, ducks and Juan spins around only for Dillusion to take him down with an exploder suplex. The crowd cheers and Dillusion rolls over and starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Great exploder! Caught Juan Ramirez and planted him!”

 

Dawson: “And look at Shane and Fiore in the corner. They’re just keeping their eyes on each other!”

 

The camera briefly looks at Fiore who just grins at Shane as Shane looks increasingly uncomfortable. Dillusion gets up and turns and tags in Hallucigen. Hallucigen enters the ring. He then walks over and grabs Ramirez. He lifts him up before throwing him over with a snap suplex. He turns and looks at Dillusion and tells him to set up for something. Dillusion however just tells Hallucigen to put him down and Hallucigen sticks his hand up, looking for a tag to go for another team move and Ducky goes to tag herself in, but Hallucigen pulls his hand away and turns to Dillusion. Dillusion goes to start to tag, but Ramirez then pulls Hallucigen back and locks him in a sleeper. Hallucigen reaches forward but Ramirez lifts him up and drops him with a sleeper slam. He then gets up and drives his leg into the face of Hallucigen. Hallucigen rolls over and Ramirez grabs him and drags him away from Hallucigen’s corner and stomps him in the face.

 

Sharper: “And Hallucigen wanting to tag Dillusion back in-“

 

Kayl: “What the hell is wrong with the guy? He’s the Underground Championship and he’s in a match tagging with Dillusion and he’s starstruck! He hangs out with him all the damn time!”

 

Sharper: “Well, you try to make sense of anything in that team.”

 

Hallucigen turns and Juan Ramirez grabs him and lifts him up before nailing him with an uppercut. Hallucigen stumbles back. Ramirez then grabs him and whips him across the ring, but Hallucigen stops at the opposite ropes. Ramirez runs after him, but Hallucigen lifts him up and tries to back drop him over the top rope. Ramirez lands on the apron and immediately Fiore tags himself in. He enters as Ramirez looks a bit ticked and kicks Hallucigen in the ribs. He then spins him around and whips him into the ropes again and Hallucigen bounces off the ropes and Fiore attempts a clothesline, but Hallucigen ducks before jumping up and kneeing him in the back of the head. Fiore drops down to his stomach as Hallucigen walks around. Just then a maniacal cackle echoes throughout the arena. The crowd starts to buzz and many boo as Dillusion looks around. Hallucigen does as well. Just then, on the screen, we see Saber looking at the camera, tilting his head before smiling. He then turns and we see Anthony Wallace down, bleeding from the forehead. Ducky starts to lose it in the corner and Dillusion forcibly restrains her as we can hear knocking and the sound of Sketch Retro and Eric Altair trying to get in.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Saber has managed to get into the Rejected locker room and is going after Anthony Wallace!”

 

Dawson: “Seems like he’s already taken him out and he’s now gloating to Dillusion.”

 

Kayl: “But there’s a match still going on.”

 

Saber: “Come on Dillusion....save your friend....I’ll even stick around for a little while.”

 

Saber then starts to laugh maniacally again as Dillusion thinks about leaving before we see Hallucigen hoisted up from behind. Hallucigen fights out of it and lands in front of Fiore before pushing him back and into Sebastian Shane. Fiore then walks forward and Hallucigen jumps up and hits the Knee Ya’ Next Time. The crowd ohs and Fiore rolls over. Hallucigen falls on top for the pin. Juan Ramirez just shakes his head and drops off the apron as Sebastian Shane continues to stir.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and Dillusion turns as Ducky gets free only for her to run frantically to the back. Dillusion drops down and does the same. Hallucigen rolls over and goes to celebrate before seeing Dillusion and Ducky running off. Hallucigen looks a bit dejected before he looks up at the big screen to see Saber’s face still smiling at the camera. He then immediately demands his Underground Championship belt.

 

Sharper: “Hallucigen realizing that Dillusion and Ducky are heading to the back. He wants his belt.”

 

Kayl: “Manages to get the win, somehow, but thanks to also the help that Juan Ramirez doesn’t seem to care about Fiore at all. Fiore is still dazed, but Hallucigen is trying to get out of here too!”

 

Shane stirs at ringside as Hallucigen is finally given his Underground Championship. He then drops down to the mat and rolls under the floor before running towards the back. Shane just keeps stirring as Ramirez just leaves and Fiore stirs and the scene switches backstage.

 

The scene opens backstage as we see Karnivale in their locker room. We see Marina Trent just seated on the couch before turning to Shilo and Masquerade.

 

Marina: “I can’t believe the Gospel decided to go after us. What? Dragging Katelyn Buehler to the top wasn’t enough. They need to start pushing other people down.”

 

Masquerade: “Whatever. We’re going to get our opportunities. I mean compared to them, we’re saints and Sasha can’t hate us as much as she hates Chad.”

 

Shilo: “Um...title shot here...”

 

Masquerade: “Yeah...yeah....yeah....”

 

Marina: “Regardless, I’m not in the business of letting people like that just walk over us. I’m sick that Katie did it. Syren tried it against me. Everyone tries against me. Seriously, just because we’re different. We’re entertaining.”

 

Shilo: “Damn right!”

 

Marina just looks at Shilo, far more sternly.

 

Masquerade: “I think she’s pissed Shilo.”

 

Marina: “Ya think.”

 

Shilo turns to Marina.

 

Shilo: “Don’t worry. Tonight, we got Gunner. And if they try something, I know you guys will have my back. Either way, we see what happens. But we’re not going to let them distract us any further from our other goals. They want to come after us though, we can show them what Karnivale is all about.”

 

Marina: “And what if I want to just kick their ass anyways.”

 

Masquerade: “Works for me.”

 

Shilo: “Same here.”

 

Marina: “Excellent. So I guess we’ll see what happens.”

 

Shilo: “At least it will be entertaining.”

 

Shilo smirks as Masquerade just mockingly acts like Shilo in the background.

 

Shilo: “I can see you.”

 

Masquerade: “You could also watch the tape later. Seriously, how many people could just rewatch Breakdown and they’d learn a lot about people. No one does it!”

 

Shilo just shakes his head as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up outside of the arena to see what obviously looks to be a rental car parked awkwardly in front of one of the entrances. We then see the driver’s side door open and we see Frank Allen Thompson in the seat. He tries to get out, but instead, gets stuck. He tries to get up again, but to no avail.

 

F.A.T.: “Damn Australian rental cars. Not roomy enough for my fit frame!”

 

Thompson tries to get up again, but to no avail. He then turns and fiddles with the steering wheel before trying again.

 

F.A.T.: “Damn it! Sorry sir! I’ll get this taken care of!”

 

Just then the rear passenger side door opens and we see another familiar face, Red Robberson, step out. He looks back at the car.

 

Robberson: “You got the plane all the way here but you can’t get out of a car.”

 

Robberson just shakes his head as he hits the top of the car.

 

Robberson: “Stay here. Allow me to do the recon this week.”

 

Robberson then walks around the car as F.A.T. continues to struggle. Robberson heads towards the entrance as we head to ringside.

 

Dawson: “So Red Robberson was the man that’s hired Thompson!”

 

Kayl: “Probably wants his money back now. Seriously, he’s been stuck how many times now?”

 

Sharper: “We haven’t seen Robberson in years. I’d love to know what he’s thinking and what his goals are.”

The scene opens backstage in the Rejected locker room as we see Eric Altair and Sketch Retro just shaking their heads as Dillusion walks around the room. Ducky is bawling over Anthony Wallace as Wallace is being checked on by officials. Hallucigen just stands back watching. Dillusion just continues to pace.

 

Altair: “So what now, Dillusion?”

 

Wallace grimaces as he turns and the trainer finally arrives, checking on Wallace as Ducky starts to shake Wallace, trying to get him to move. The official finally gets her away as Altair just looks at Dillusion.

 

Altair: “Dillusion?”

 

Dillusion turns and snaps at him.

 

Dillusion: “What?”

 

Dillusion pauses. He then turns and looks at the cameraman before walking forward to it and grabbing the cameraman, causing the camera to come right up to Dillusion.

 

Dillusion: “Tell Saber....that if he wants his war, I’ll give it to him. No holds barred....Riding the Lightning. Get ready for a bloodbath!”

 

Dillusion then shoves the cameraman back and the camera jostles around before coming to rest and focuses on Dillusion and the other members of Rejected, including Hallucigen and the officials before we go back to ringside.

Rachel Foxx vs. Ryan Watson

 

The lights in the arena go completely dark as the eerie intro of "Lifelike" by Karnivool begins playing over the loud speakers. As the strings continue a single electric guitar strum echos through the arena, lightning strikes on the jumbo-tron illuminate a female silhouette. The silhouette fades, and the words "THE SUICIDE QUEEN" appear in jagged letters, and then fade. More lightning strikes illuminate a picture of Rachel's eyes, and then fade into the words "RACHEL FOXX". As the intro reaches its climax, we hear a sadistic female laugh. The intro ends and loud guitars begin blaring over the speakers as blue pyros shoot up in front of the entrance. After a few moments, Rachel Foxx walks out the wall of blue sparks arm in arm with Alex Jr. as she carries her trademark sledgehammer in the other hand. Rachel is wearing a black Affliction shirt that has been cut into a half-shirt and hangs off one shoulder, a black skirt with a white studded belt, black fishnet stockings and knee high leather boots. The sparks fade and the house lights return, casting an eerie blue glow over the entire arena. Rachel takes a deep breath, plasters an evil grin on her lips, and kisses Alex before the pair begins sauntering down the ramp. The crowd boos and throws things at the couple, but they ignore them as they slowly swagger down the ramp. As they reach the ring, Alex hurries up the steps and hold the ropes open as Rachel slowly makes her way into the ring. Rachel climbs the turn buckle and raises her arms in the air as a wall of fire shoots up behind her. Evil burns in her eyes as she tilts her head back and releases a sadistic laugh. After a few moments, the flames die down, and Rachel hops off the turnbuckle and kisses Alex again before he hops out of the ring.

 

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx took on Lucas Knight two weeks ago on Breakdown and Ryan Watson made his debut getting involved before later being involved in the attack on Ammo.”

 

Dawson: “Bastion Scythe was taken out by Lucas Knight and Christy Matthews and Ryan Watson is one of the students of Lucas Knight’s sister and Lucas has taken him under his wing.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah...and promptly is making Ryan Watson hate life. He has to deal with a very motivated and angry Rachel Foxx!”

 

The arena lights cut completely as a white spot light begins to circle the audience. A countdown like at the start of an old film reel begins to counting down from 10 to Zero as “Shut The F*ck Up” by the Brides of Destruction hits the pa system. As the countdown reaches zero, the word “Fame” appears on the big screens before being cross out and replaced with “Infamy”.

As the music kicks into full gear, pyrotechnics explode from above the stage area, showering it with blue sparks and smoke begins to roll out along the ramp. The crowd begin to boo wildly as Ryan Watson walks out onto the stage area decked out in his ring gear. Watson looks out into the crowd with an extremely smug look on his face as he soaks in the boo’s and jeers before throwing one arm up into the air. Nodding, he drops the arm before starting his confident strut to the ring.

Another chorus of boos echo around the arena as Watson reaches the ring, hopping up onto the apron and staring out into the crowd, the smug grin still on his face as he basks in the reaction from the crowd. Eventually, he enters the ring by the middle rope before pacing around several times. After pulling on the ropes on opposite sides of the ring, he stands in the dead centre of the squared circle before throwing his arm up one more time, receiving a deafening boo from the crowd as he waits for the start of the match.

 

Dawson: “No one out with him.”

 

Sharper: “Are they sending him out to see what he can do on his own or did he want to do this himself? I don’t know.”

 

The bell sounds and Ryan Watson smirks before Rachel Foxx runs at him and Watson falls back to the corner before Rachel jumps up and mounts him in the corner and nails him with a couple of shots. Ryan pushes her off and Rachel rolls through and gets up and Ryan walks forward only for Rachel to nail him with a forearm and then another. Ryan falls back into the corner and Rachel grabs him and whips him across the ring. Ryan Watson hits the opposite corner. Rachel runs after Watson and Watson gets his boot up. Rachel stumbles back and Watson runs forward and takes Rachel down with a flying clothesline. He then turns and looks at Rachel and stomps her twice in the head as she gets back up.

 

Sharper: “Welcome to SCW with that one. His first match and he’s dealing with a very motivated opponent.”

 

Kayl: “I’m loving it. Anyone involved with Infamous, they deserve to get their ass handed to them so the more that happens, the happier I am!”

 

Rachel starts to get up as Alex cheers her on and Ryan Watson kicks her in the ribs. He then nails her with a hard right and Rachel falls into the corner. Watson then grabs her and goes to whip her across the ring, but stop and pulls her back in before drop toe holding her into the middle turnbuckle. The crowd ohs. Rachel starts to get up and Watson grabs her from behind and throws her back with a back suplex. He then follows up with a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out. Watson rolls off and gets up. Rachel stirs and Watson clubs her in the back. He then hooks her arm and throws her over with a vertical suplex. Watson then rolls over and gets up before exiting to the apron. He then starts to climb up to the top rope. He gets to the top and Rachel starts to get up and Watson dives forward and hits a diving forearm smash off the top rope. The crowd boos as Watson rolls through. Rachel starts to stir afterwards and Watson waits for her to get up.

 

Dawson: “This young kid is showing some heart. I gotta give him that.”

 

Sharper: “Hard forearm off the top rope. He didn’t go for the pin. But he is waiting for Rachel to get up. Who knows what he’s thinking?”

 

Rachel gets to her feet and Watson runs over to her and jumps up for a hurricanrana, but Rachel blocks it and powerbombs him down with a sitout powerbomb.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Watson gets his shoulder up and rolls over. He starts to get up as Rachel pulls herself up. Watson turns around to her and Rachel grabs him and hits a jawbreaker before clotheslining him down. Watson gets back up and Rachel jumps up and hits an enziguri. Watson falls to a knee. Rachel then gets up and runs into the ropes. She bounces off them and jumps up and hits a dropkick to the face of Watson, knocking him down. She then follows up with a pin.

 

1!

Watson kicks out. She looks up before grabbing Watson. She lifts him up and nails him with a forearm before another and then a discus forearm. Watson is staggered and Rachel turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off them before Watson then jumps up and nails Rachel with a vicious dropkick. The crowd boos and Watson smiles as he starts to get up.

 

Kayl: “Ow! Right in the jaw.”

 

Dawson: “That’s going to call for a trip to the dentist.”

 

Sharper: “Just look at that look on the face of Ryan Watson. He thinks he’s got this.”

 

Watson gets up as Rachel rolls over. Watson then grabs her and hooks her in a full nelson before hitting a facebuster. He then rolls Rachel over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel gets her shoulder up. Watson looks at the referee before looking at Rachel and mounting her and nailing her with a hard right and then another before getting up. He then grabs Rachel and drags her up before turning and going to whip her into the ropes, but Rachel spins through and sends Watson in. Alex Jr. trips him up and Watson turns around. Alex Jr. just flips him off, getting some cheers from the crowd. Watson then turns around and Rachel kicks him in the ribs and then follows up with the Foxx Girl Stunner. The crowd cheers as Watson rolls over in pain. Rachel then gets up and looks out at the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Stunner! Rachel Foxx drops Ryan Watson. Listen to this crowd.”

 

Dawson: “They want to see him planted. Did you ever think you’d see Rachel Foxx cheered by everyone here?”

 

Kayl: “No!”

 

Watson stirs and starts to get up and Rachel Foxx looks at him before then kicking him in the ribs. She then grabs him across the chest before dropping him down across his knee and then throwing him back with a facebuster with the Suicide Note. The crowd cheers and Rachel Foxx rolls Watson over for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers and Rachel rolls off and looks at Watson. Alex Desoubrais Jr. then hops onto the apron as Rachel gets up. She then turns to him and says something to him. Her music plays throughout the arenas as Watson stirs and Alex Desoubrais Jr. drops down to the floor before walking around the ring and grabbing a steel chair. He leaves it unfolded and tosses it into the ring. He then hops onto the apron as Rachel Foxx grabs the chair and places it on its legs. She then smiles as the crowd roars. Watson stirs and Rachel Foxx looks over before grabbing him by the head and locking him in a half nelson before screaming at him and then jumping forward and hitting the Pandora’s Foxx onto the seat of the chair. The crowd ohs and Watson rolls over. Rachel then looks at him and smiles as Alex Desoubrais Jr. enters the ring. He walks over to her and the two kiss passionately as some blood trickles down the face of Watson.

 

Sharper: “They have destroyed Ryan Watson tonight! Rachel Foxx getting some semblance of revenge!”

 

Dawson: “And no one from Infamous came out to stop it. Almost like an initiation maybe? I don’t know.”

 

Kayl: “Who cares? Watson got owned after all he’s done the last two weeks. Stopped him from getting to uppity!”

 

Rachel Foxx and Alex Desoubrais Jr. continue to stand over Watson as the official checks on him. We then see Lucas Knight watching a monitor backstage before we see Ebdon walk up to him. He then pats Lucas on the back and Lucas just nods, almost as if something was agreed upon, before Ebdon walks off. We cut back to the ring to see Rachel and Alex Desoubrais Jr. starting to leave the ring as we then go backstage.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Warren James grabbing a bottle of water as he turns and starts to walk off, twisting the cap, before he’s stopped in his tracks. He just looks forward and the camera pans out to show Sebastian Shane standing in front of him. Shane just smirks as he looks at him.

 

Warren: “What do you want?”

 

Shane: “Nice Adrenaline Championship.”

 

Warren looks down at the title.

 

Warren: “What about it? Looking to get a shot?”

 

Shane: “One could say. But see, I’ve heard you’re also known as the Six Million Dollar Man. Now, for me to call myself by that, that would be a step down, but I think I could improve your evaluation a bit.”

 

Warren: “What do you want?”

 

Shane: “Well, if you want to be actually worth six million dollars...or maybe more....you may want to consider working with me. And by that I mean....you become my champion....or better yet....I just buy it from you. How much do you want for it? Probably only a few hundred bucks worth of metal in it. Great chance for a payoff for you.”

 

Warren just shakes his head.

 

Warren: “Screw off. It...nor me...are for sale.”

 

Warren then walks past Shane as Shane just shakes his head.

 

Shane: “Your loss.”

 

Shane just shakes his head before suddenly, he’s nailed from behind and knocked forward as Joachim Fiore knocks him down. He then stomps him in the face before dropping down in a mount and hammering away at Shane. Fiore gets a few shots in before Mr. Grecko, Shane’s head of security walks over and grabs Fiore and pulls him back in an arm triangle, forcing him against a wall. Fiore tries to fight out, but Grecko holds on until several security members and officials arrive on the scene. Grecko lets go and steps back as the officials hold Fiore back. Fiore just smirks as Shane stirs and slowly gets up and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and “Thunderstruck” is heard throughout the arena. The Riding the Lightning logo comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and folks, an explosive start so far to Breakdown, but we’ve got a bit of a big announcement here.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, after we just saw Rachel bloody Ryan Watson after dropping him with a Pandora’s Foxx on that steel chair, it is now official, the rumours are true...”

 

We then see a still of Rachel Foxx vs. Hallucigen for the SCW Underground Championship at Riding the Lightning Night One.

 

Kayl: “...Rachel Foxx WILL challenge Hallucigen for the SCW Underground Championship at Riding the Lightning.”

 

Dawson: “Coming off a huge defense against Brittany Lohan, Hallucigen goes from one violent female to the Suicide Queen.”

 

Sharper: “Though one has to wonder what Alex Desoubrais Jr. thinks. This, they admitted, derails their plans for a concerted attack against Infamous and his father on that night. Where are the priorities going to be?”

Disco Ninja & Decoy vs. The F-Ups (Tooty Fruity and Peach Fuzz)

 

A spotlight shines at the top of the entrance ramp as “Can’t Touch This(remix)” begins to play as Peach Fuzz, and Tooty Fruity comes walking out, smiling, and very energetic. They both slap some fans hands, then makes a mad dash down the ramp then into the ring. Peach Fuzz and Tooty Fruity both then go to a random rope and poses to the fans by leaning out and saying that they are number one. They jumps down from the middle rope and starts to run around the ring awaiting for their opponents to come out.

 

Dawson: “Well this should be interesting.”

 

Kayl: “This may be the greatest match we’ll ever witness.”

 

Sharper: “I doubt that, but ultimately, two major stories in this one. The F-Ups are back and just in time to join us here in Australia, but not only that, we’ve had rumours that they made an open challenge to anyone in the back. Well it’s been accepted by newcomer Disco Ninja....but Ninja didn’t have a partner, but agreed to a tag match.”

 

Kayl: “So who is his partner?”

 

Sharper: “I guess we’re finding this out now.”

 

A large Disco Ball descends above the ring. Filling the arena with spinning lights while the arena lights grow dim and The Bee Gees' "Night Fever" hits the audio system of the arena. Suddenly a puff of smoke explodes at the top of the ramp leading down to the ring. From this hazy view, everyone can see a shadowed figure disco dancing while the smoke fades. When the smoke clears, the Disco Ninja is seen in the dim light of his disco lights. He starts a series of handspring flips down to the ring, stopping at the apron before rolling over the top rope and does a quick silent Bruce Lee like pose before throwing three shuriken shaped pryotechnics into the air above the ring which they explode, raining brightly colorful sparks over the ring as The Disco Ninja crosses arms over his chest and awaits the start of the match. Tooty Fruity and Peach Fuzz run towards him, but Ninja sticks out his hand, telling them to stop. Both actually do and Disco Ninja just points to the back.

 

Sharper: “Ninja is here. The F-Ups don’t want to wait.”

 

Kayl: “The suspense is killing me!”

 

“Night Fever” plays throughout the arena and a spotlight shines on the entrance way before we see two SCW ring crew members carry down a training dummy on a stand. They roll it down before they get to the ring as the crowd just buzzes a bit. Ninja just turns to Tooty Fruity and Peach Fuzz as they start to back away. The ring crew slowly lifts it up onto the apron before they get up onto the apron and lift it up and place it into the ring. Ninja just smiles as Peach Fuzz and Tooty Fruity look at each other and Ninja just looks at them.

 

Sharper: “It’s a damn doll!”

 

Kayl: “I believe the correct term is training dummy. How could you be so insensitive?!”

 

Dawson: “Well it is an inanimate object. I doubt it has feelings.”

 

Sharper: “So how is it going to be able to do anything?”

 

Kayl: “Oh. I’m sure it’s got a plan! Every training dummy has a plan!”

 

Sharper: “Ladies and gentlemen, we may be about to bear witness to one of the most odd matches in SCW history!”

 

The referee looks at them and the referee is even confused. Just then Peach Fuzz and Tooty Fruity jump up and hit a double dropkick to the chest of Disco Ninja, sending him up and over the top rope and to the floor. Peach Fuzz just gets up and flexes as Tooty Fruity turns and looks at the dummy. It just sits there and TF just pokes it hard and smirks. He then pokes it again, causing it to rock a bit. TF pokes it a third time and hard enough for it to bounce off the ropes and then fall onto TF, knocking him down. The referee confused as is, decides to count the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Peach Fuzz runs over and pushes it off. He then looks at it as Tooty Fruity slides back, looking absolutely terrified.

 

Kayl: “And the sheer weight of the training dummy is nearly too much. What an upset that would have been!”

 

Dawson: “Tooty Fruity is in shock as Peach Fuzz makes the save.”

 

Kayl: “Now they are putting the boots to him! The training dummy, the Decoy, is getting stomped on brutally!”

 

Sharper: “Good lord...”

 

PF stomps away at the Decoy as Tooty Fruity gets up. Disco Ninja gets up and hops onto the apron and then springboards to the top rope before diving forward and taking TF down with a flying clothesline. The crowd roars as PF continues to stomp away. He then drops down and starts to try to lift the Decoy up, and placing it against the middle rope. PF looks around before smiling and then running into the ropes. He bounces off them and Ninja turns and hits a spin kick to the jaw, knocking him down. Disco Ninja then looks around before smiling and grabbing the Decoy.

 

Kayl: “And Disco Ninja saves Decoy with a huge spin kick to the jaw!”

 

Sharper: “Well fans, as Ninja seemingly helps a damn training dummy to its feet, I can’t believe I’m saying that....just a reminder that tickets have gone on sale for several SCW live events including Taking Hold of the Flame which will be live from Miami, Florida on May 29, 2011. Who knows, you may get to see a classic match like the one we’re seeing right now!”

 

Kayl: “Just imagine Decoy in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. Oh man. He’d be unstoppable!”

 

Sharper: “You’re loving this, aren’t you?”

 

Kayl: “We’re watching the hottest newcomer in SCW history, DECOY!”

 

Dawson: “Well Decoy, as you’ve named him, and Disco Ninja better look out! Peach Fuzz is back up and he’s not happy!”

 

Disco Ninja gets Decoy up as the crowd actually cheers and Tooty Fruity jumps up and dropkicks Disco Ninja back into the corner, sandwiching Decoy in there as well. Tooty Fruity then turns and walks back to the middle of the ring. He turns and runs over and TF jumps up, but Disco Ninja drops down to the mat and pushes down on the base of the Decoy, causing it to barely move as TF just goes groin first into the head of the dummy. The crowd ohs as TF falls back and narrowly falls on Ninja. Ninja then gets up and Peach Fuzz enters the ring. He then grabs Ninja by the head and mauls him into the ropes before pulling him back and just throwing him back. Ninja rolls through and Peach Fuzz attempts a clothesline, but Ninja ducks and runs over to the Decoy. He then grabs it and lifts it up before throwing it, as best as he can, into Peach Fuzz, causing it to hit him in the chest before it falls to the mat and PF rolls over, holding his chest in pain.

 

Kayl: “Vicious flying headbutt by Decoy! His ribs could be bruised!”

 

Dawson: “And Disco Ninja seems to be the only one up now.”

 

Kayl: “Who is the legal person?!”

 

Sharper: “Legal person...give me a break. It’s a glorified handicap match!”

 

Kayl: “It’s history in the making!”

 

Dawson: “Look out! Here comes Tooty Fruity again!”

 

TF gets up and Ninja turns and attempts a jump kick to the head, but TF ducks. Ninja hits a back kick and then turns and jumps to the nearby middle rope and dives back, but TF ducks. Ninja lands behind him and TF then jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ninja kicks out. Decoy remains down as Ninja rolls over and goes to grab at Decoy, presumably for a double team move. TF turns and grabs at his leg, only for Ninja to roll to his back and kick him off. He then nips up and jumps up and kicks TF in the side of the head. He then turns around and Peach Fuzz runs over and clotheslines him down. Peach Fuzz then turns to TF and tells him to man up. TF gets up and Peach Fuzz then grabs Disco Ninja by the throat. TF grabs Ninja too before they lift him up and plant him with a double chokeslam. Peach Fuzz goes for the pin as TF stands guard, presumably for a Decoy save.

 

Kayl: “Double chokeslam! Decoy has to make the save!”

 

Sharper: “Good lord...”

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars as Peach Fuzz rolls over and throws his arms into the air. Tooty Fruity jumps around the ring in celebration. The two then get up and throw their arms in the air. The crowd boos a bit as Ninja stirs. Decoy meanwhile remains entirely still. The two continue to celebrate as their music plays throughout the arena. The referee checks on Ninja who just rolls out of the ring and slowly makes his way to the back before we go backstage too.

The scene opens up backstage as we Red Robberson walking out of the office of Sasha Drachewych. He smiles as he hold an envelope in his hand. He then smiles.

 

Robberson: “Guess who’s back officially in SCW. Friday Night Ammo...here I come.”

 

Robberson smiles as he turns and walks off camera. The crowd cheers a bit as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The lights dim and a hush comes over the audience. The big screen suddenly goes static and this static starts to form a shape that all the audience recognizes. The audience boo as they recognize the face of Jason Zero. The face smiles before saying.

The Kingdom Of Old Is Dead.
The Order Has Fallen.
Now Is The Rise Of A New Kingdom
Of Chaos

The familiar electric guitar starts playing Crush 40’s “Knight of the Wind” while some fans of the proclaimed Crusader of Chaos holds up their lighters as a trap door opens from the stage ramp.

Wooaaah, Woooooah

Slowly, a large glass orb and two metal towers rise. We can see the silhouette of a man kneeling in that orb. As the lyrics start, he slowly rises out stretching his arms at a 45 degree angle.

Hey all (Hey all)
Welcome to the greatest storm.
I know, I know.
You have waited much too long
And I (And I)
I will be your shining star.
I’m here (I’m here)
You Better conquer fear or run!

Suddenly the two metal towers spring to life shooting bright purple and pink electricity at the orb. The man inside does not shy from this and within a few seconds the orb implodes, collapsing all around, leaving the man inside standing, exposed. Standing there is Jason Zero, his head to the sky, his eyes closed.

Like a sword, I'm brought
Into the heat of the day
Like a knight, I'll fight
Until the fight is won

In the reign, I save
Each and every
Each and every
Each and everyone
'Till this war is won

Zero looks around as the crowd boos. He gives a grin before running down the ramp and then he slides inside it. He hops to the turnbuckle, reaching out with his arms and looking to the heavens.

And I'm meant to rule
By the sword
Slashing through the every inch of the power
The power in you

As I sit
As I stand
By chaos will I command
My kingdom

I'm a knight of the wind

The crowd boos as he then drops down and the music fades out. He then turns and stops the referee before going over to Jason Phillips and asking for a microphone. The crowd boos for him as Zero takes the microphone and pushes him back. He then turns and walks over towards the middle of the ring.

 

Sharper: “We’re being joined by Jason Zero and on Friday Night Ammo, Ravyn Taylor attempted to get him out of the arena as Infamous brutally assaulted Bastion Scythe putting him on the shelf.”

 

Dawson: “Shockingly though, Zero didn’t even come to the ring. He just watched and actually applauded. Either way, whether this was Infamous delivering a message to Zero or just delivering a message to SCW is up to interpretation.”

 

Kayl: “Or CHBK may have put the idea in their head to divert Zero’s attention. Who knows?”

 

Zero just looks around as the crowd boos him. He just looks out and smirks.

 

Zero: “Some may come to me and think that perhaps this is a point where I reveal I may be in over my head, that Infamous may have put a chink in my armour by taking out Bastion Scythe in front of the world, driving his head into this canvas, on Friday Night Ammo. But to those that think I am pining for his loss...then you really are clueless.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Zero: “See, Ravyn...Lucas....whomever else in Infamous believed that I would care about my protégé getting destroyed on Ammo, you do not know me at all. And that is why I can tell that CHBK didn’t come up with the idea. He would know not to worry about such trivialities. Because see, Ravyn, Lucas, Infamous as a whole, I’ve seen it all. I’ve experienced it all. And Bastion Scythe, should he wish success, needs to realize that as well. And for that reason, I let him crash and burn at your hands!”

 

The crowd buzzes a bit.

 

Kayl: “He’s selling Bastion down the river now!”

 

Dawson: “Seems so.”

 

Zero: “But to all of you in Infamous, my issue is not with you...at least yet. Right now, I am focusing on the greater evil. I laughed at your little tantrum there Ravyn that CHBK is not your leader and that just shows how dumb you really are. For someone who has constantly outsmarted their opponents, you really don’t know what you’ve gotten into and the fact is that CHBK is, and always will be a step above you, and for that reason, that is why I am focusing only on him...and that is also why people like Thorn or even CHBK’s own son will fail when they face him. They don’t know him like I know him. Thorn is going to go for Damian Angel and say that’s going to help him prepare. Please. Amateurish to say the least. I’ve been battling CHBK since SCW was running shows only out of Toronto and he and I damn-near killed each other on so many different occasions. And to kill that which cannot be killed, you need to fight it with another immortal and there are only two such figures in SCW!”

 

Zero smirks.

 

Zero: “See and people who want to step over CHBK need to realize that they are unable to do so. He has survived them all....but I have always been his foil. Ravyn...you don’t come close. Thorn....good luck. You get your physical punishment, but mentally he’s already won. Alex Desoubrais Jr.....your sister is a more formidable foe. And well, everyone can step up to take Alex down....but only one man can destroy him and he is the Anti-Hero!”

 

The crowd boos before suddenly “Who Wouldn’t Wanna Be Me” starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd roars a bit before we see Alex Desoubrais Jr. start to walk out from the back. Zero just turns and looks at Alex Jr. as Alex Jr. starts to run down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Alex Desoubrais Jr.! I think he didn’t care for the comments of Jason Zero and he’s coming out here to deal with it!”

 

Kayl: “Look out though! Zero may be trying just for that!”

 

Dawson: “Yeah. He’s hoping for some response. He’s berated Thorn, Ravyn Taylor, Lucas Knight and Alex Desoubrais Jr. all in his time here. It’s like he wants a response!”

 

Alex Desoubrais Jr. slides into the ring and gets up before running at Zero. He kicks him in the ribs as the crowd roars. Alex Jr. then nails him with a hard right and a chop before going to whip him into the ropes. Zero, however, spins through and nails Alex Jr. in the head with the microphone. The crowd ohs and Alex Jr. rolls over in pain. He starts to get up and Zero nails him with another vicious shot with the microphone, knocking him down. Alex Jr. starts to get up and Zero just smiles before nailing him with another shot with microphone, knocking him down. The crowd boos and Zero just drops down to his knees, kneeling over Alex Jr. as he’s dazed.

 

Zero: “Do I need a better demonstration? I’m not here to be dealing with foolish attempts at bravery. I’m not here to play games with Ravyn Taylor. I’m here right now to make clear my focus is CHBK...and ending his time at the top.”

 

Just then, we hear the sound of a headset being taken off.

 

Sharper: “Hey. What are you doing?”

 

Dawson: “Donovan...”

 

The camera turns to see Donovan Kayl grab a microphone from the timekeeper’s table and walk around the desk.

 

Kayl: “Hey! Jason!”

 

Jason Zero looks up and gets up. He just smiles.

 

Kayl: “You know what. I’m getting sick of hearing that. Not from people like Thorn or David Helms...or even Alex Junior in there. I know they mean it. You....I’m not so sure. And the fact that you’re now going against everyone that stood in CHBK’s way...it makes me even more unsure about how honest you are.”

 

Kayl then walks up the steel steps slowly.

 

Kayl: “See, I know some people have short memories. But I don’t. I’ve been sitting over there in some capacity for the last year and I remember after Rise to Greatness that you and CHBK were getting a bit buddy-buddy. In fact, the last time we saw you capable of competing, you and him were looking like you were going to be on the same page for the first time in years. And now, you come back to the ring, first to protect your little investment only to now throw that away, but more to talk about how only you can take out CHBK. Yet, outside of a spear that CHBK got up and covers Thorn with....I’ve seen you do more standing in the way of others than going after CHBK!”

 

The crowd roars as Kayl walks along the apron.

 

Kayl: “And I’m sick of it. You want to take CHBK out. You know as well as I do, that he’ll gladly give it to you.”

 

Zero: “You seem so sure. You seem so sure that he’d welcome his demise.”

 

Kayl: “He’s liked flirting with it the last three months. Now Jason...you may think of yourself as some kind of legend and you are an SCW Hall of Famer....but give me a reason I don’t just knock you on your ass for pretty much just wanting the spotlight to yourself one more time and making sure YOU’RE the one to play the hero!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Kayl: “Because either, I see you swinging at CHBK or I’m going to do something I should have done months ago and that’s help Thorn, Helms and Alex Jr. and anyone else who wants to destroy that other legend in the middle of this ring!”

 

The crowd cheers again and Zero just smirks as he walks up to Kayl.

 

Dawson: “Come on Donovan. Calm down. You’re an announcer. Not an active wrestler anymore!”

 

Zero then continues to smile before Kayl smirks when Alex Desoubrais Jr. spins Zero around and kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and nails him with a hard right. Zero turns around and Kayl nails him with a hard right and Zero turns back to Alex Jr. and Alex Jr. jumps up and dropkicks him down and Zero drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring. He then pops up and looks up at Alex Desoubrais Jr. and Donovan Kayl. The crowd actually cheers at both as Zero just smirks. Kayl dares Zero to get back into the ring.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it! Alex Desoubrais Jr. and Donovan Kayl on the same page and they just took Zero out of the ring!”

 

Dawson: “Finally someone is stepping up to Zero. Kayl makes a point. What side is Zero actually on?!”

 

Zero just continues to look up as “Who Wouldn’t Wanna Be Me” plays throughout the arena. Kayl just watches him as Alex Desoubrais Jr. glares at him further. Zero slowly backs away as the scene cuts backstage.

The scene opens backstage as we see Jessica Winters standing in front of the SCW interview area. She looks at the camera and smiles.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, Shilo Valiant!”

 

The crowd cheers as Shilo Valiant walks next to Jessica Winters and looks down.

 

Jessica: “Now Shilo, a lot of people are focusing on your upcoming World Championship, and possible US Championship rematch at Riding the Lightning, but tonight, you’re taking a bit of a break from that as you focus on the man that manhandled you last Breakdown, Gunner Wayne.”

 

Shilo: “That is the case, but Greg Cherry and David Helms better not feel that I’m snubbing them in any way. This is just something that needs to be done and every path has their lovely little break. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way....”

 

Shilo takes a deep breath.

 

Shilo: “Hello Necrophiliacs and Junkies! Tonight, Gunner Wayne gets to be the sad sap that walks into the ring to face ME! And while last week, you did wonders coming out and attacking me from behind, I get to see what you do face to face. The problem there is that last week, you showed you couldn’t get the job done one on one and the odds aren’t in your favour against me. Either way, you decided to attack me and Marina and I am NOT fine with that so tonight, actually in a few minutes, I’m going to come to that ring and I’m going to kick your ass all around it. The crowd will go wild. I WILL go wild too and you’re going to realize that while you may have found God, God can’t help you this week because you’re going to get dropped on your ass and be all dazed and without all the fun side-effects! How does that sound? Huh?”

 

Shilo just smirks before he glances over and stops before Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger come into view. Shilo just looks at them.

 

Shilo: “Well...you guys...”

 

Gable: “Yeah us. Now this is going to sound weird especially since us two and you haven’t exactly always seen eye to eye in say...the last year or so.”

 

Shilo: “That sounds about right. I mean Stacy being crazy and trying to come for the Tag titles last year....and you trying to come for my US title...but beyond that, we’re peachy!”

 

Stacy: “Listen...ya’ll know that’s all in tha past. We just wanna let you know that Gunner Wayne.....we’ll be watchin’ him too.”

 

Shilo: “So ya tellin’ me...I reckon you have my back.”

 

Stacy looks a bit less than impressed with the impression.

 

Shilo: “Look that’s nice and all, but Karnivale has my back and so do all the necrophiliacs and junkies out there.”

 

Gable: “Fine...but we also know that if Gunner Wayne can’t get out from you, we don’t need to worry about him in the Tag Title match. They know that too.”

 

Shilo: “Just relax....I got Gunner Wayne. I don’t like being dropped on my ass. So you go worry about your Tag titles. Tonight, Gunner Wayne is going to realize he may want to think about who he pisses off. Work for you?”

 

Stacy: “Works for me.”

 

Gable: “Same.”

 

Shilo: “Good.”

 

Shilo then turns to the camera.

 

Shilo: “NECRO!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up backstage as we see a shot of a leg in a cast, on a wheelchair, before the camera pans up to reveal the leg belonging to Katie Steward. Around her are Gigi, Robin Brooks and Paris Dannon as TJ Johnson pushes the wheelchair.

 

Katie: “I know...it’s horrible. Injury while training. I swear Robin, you’ve rubbed off on me in some horrible voodoo fashion. If I find out you’re behind this, then I will so never forgive you!”

 

Robin just shakes her head as she walks forward and away from Katie.

 

Katie: “Pfft....still jealous of what us Stewards have genetically.”

 

Gigi: “So what are you going to do tonight then? Actually, that’s a dumb question, isn’t it?”

 

Paris: “Yeah. You probably know what’s coming.”

 

Gigi: “Good thing I brought my gear.”

 

Katie: “Exactly. I cannot compete and since I cannot compete, I’m naming you my replacement. You can team with Shawn Winters later and destroy Syren and Christy Matthews. It can be a huge leap to proving how dominant us Stewards are against Infamous.”

 

Gigi: “Works for me.”

 

Katie just smiles as they then roll, or walk, past the camera and continue down the hallway. We then go to ringside.

Shilo Valiant vs. Gunner Wayne

 

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman screams the word "NECRO!" across the sound system!

So hold on until it's over

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

The spotlight and camera search around the arena as "I'm Here for Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert screams through the arena, the cameras and lights trying to locate the elusive Necro-Merchant. They quickly spot a growing fog near the entryway of the ramp.

Oh!
I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment

The fans yells only grow louder as from seeming below the ground, Shilo shoots out of the ground as fireworks shoot out around him, the neon lights causing his face and colored hair to glow in eerie colors. Landing on the ground, Shilo spins around on the spot, marveling at the massive audience and shouting back at them. The word "Necro" is heard again, which Shilo returns by shouting the same word.

'Sall right
You'll be fine
Baby I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes, not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'm gonna work it 'til your totally blown

Making his way down the ramp, he takes out two vial guns from his belt and holds them up, his feet planted as blue fire shoots from the stage behind him. As the fire raises then dies, the lights return to normal, revealing Shilo in full color.

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on 'til it's over

Making his way to the audience, Shilo is approached by fans who hand him money for a hit from his vial guns of necro. As he takes the payment and gives the fan what they want, both Shilo and the fans yell Necro.

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I am about to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

Returning to the match, Shilo tosses the now empty guns away and slides into the ring, staying on his stomach to view the hungry crowd. Standing up, he makes his way over to the turnbuckle, jumps on and shouts to the fans and finger shooting them as if he still had his vial guns.

I'M HERE FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!

Sharper: Shilo is certainly in for a treat tonight. He's about to face the massive and monsterous Gunner Wayne.

Kayl: It's your typical speed vs. power, david vs. goliath match up. Can Shilo pull it out despite 140 pound disadvantage?

“Drop the World" by Lil Wayne rings out into the arena as the crowds beings to boo. Gunner Wayne steps out from behind the curtains, paying no heed to the crowd’s dislike for him and his employers. Gunner stares at the ring for a moment, before looking up at the ceiling. Gunner makes his way down to the ring, and climbs up onto the apron before into the ring. There, he shows nothing but a complete serious face.

Dawson: That man is massive.

The bell sounds (ding...ding...ding) as Shilo and Gunner circle each other inside the ring. Gunner goes for a tie up but Shilo side steps him and delivers a hard jab to the side of Gunner face. Gunner shakes it off and quickly goes for another tie up only for Shilo to repeat the same sequence again with another quick jab.

Sharper: Shilo showing that he is the quicker of the two.

Dawson: Won't be long before we see that Gunner is the stronger of the two.

Gunner stalks Shilo into the corner and goes for another tie up except Shilo ducks under him and delivers some hard knife edge chops as Gunner's chest begins to shine. Shilo then goes to whip Gunner into the opposite corner only for Gunner to block it and throw Shilo into the turnbuckle. Gunner then delivers some hard shots to the head and ribs of Shilo before grabbing him under the arm and throwing him into the middle of the ring. Shilo gets up holding his back while Gunner bounces off the ropes and runs towards Shilo and delivers a big boot straight to the face knocking Shilo down. Shilo then rolls to the outside trying to collect his thoughts.

Dawson: Gunner Wayne not staggering from those stiff shots early on. It looks like Shilo is going to have to rethink his strategy.

The referee begins the count as Shilo takes a breather. (….1) Gunner stands strong in the middle of the ring waiting for Shilo to get back in. (….2) Shilo removes his hand from his jaw and walks up the steps and climbs into the ring only for Gunner to attack him with some forearms before he's all the way in. Gunner then lifts Shilo up and sends him against the ropes. Gunner goes for a clothesline but Shilo ducks it and bounces off the opposite ropes. Gunner then goes for another clothesline as Shilo ducks this one as well bouncing off the opposite ropes again coming back at Gunner this time Gunner lifts Shilo up for a gorilla press slam stumbling backwards only for Shilo to slide down Gunner's back and land on the apron. Gunner turns around and gets a massive slap across the face. Shilo then delivers a shoulder to the mid section of Gunner doubling him over between the middle and top rope. Shilo leaps up and delivers a leg drop to the back of Gunner's neck dropping him neck first onto the middle rope. Gunner falls back into the ring holding his neck. Shilo then climbs to the top rope.

Sharper: Shilo Valiant looking to go high risk here.

Dawson: Smart move take out Gunner while he's down.

Gunner gets to his feet as Shilo leaps off with a cross body only for Gunner to catch him mid air. Gunner then spins Shilo sideways and drops him with a hard rock bottom.

Dawson: Wow! Shilo looks broken after that move!

Gunner makes the cover.....1......2.Shilo kicks out. Gunner then mounts Shilo and delivers some hard right hands to the temple. Gunner stands up and bounces off the ropes as Shilo sits up and delivers a boot straight to the face of Shilo as he goes back down. Gunner then bounces off another ropes and delivers a hard leg drop right across the throat of Shilo. Gunner goes for another cover.....1......2...Shilo gets a shoulder up.

Sharper: Gunner Wayne looking for an early victory here.

Dawson: With such powerful moves like that slam we saw a moment away why not?

Gunner lifts Shilo up by his hair and whips him against the ropes. Shilo however catches himself with the ropes. Gunner now charges at Shilo who drops down holding the top rope tripping Gunner over it and to the outside as the crowd cheers. Gunner starts to get up on the outside and Shilo bounces off the ropes and dives through the ropes and collides with Gunner on the outside taking him out as the crowd roars. Shilo gets up slowly and rolls back into the ring. The referee begins to count. (….1)

Knots: This is going to have to be Shilo's game plan tonight. Be quick and take any type of chance you can to knock the big guy down.

Gunner starts to get up again. Shilo bounces off the ropes and goes for a baseball slide only for Gunner to side step it and deliver a monsterous clothesline taking Shilo down hard. (….2) Gunner Wayne reaches his feet dragging Shilo over to the steel steps by his arm. He then sits Shilo up back against the steps.

Sharper: Oh no, what Gunner Wayne have planned here?

Gunner charges trying to drive his knee into Shilo except Shilo avoids the attack and Gunner collides knee first into the steel steps. (…..3) Gunner stumbles away from the steps holding his knee as Shilo delivers a chop block to the back of the injured knee. Gunner goes down in pain. Shilo then hops up onto the apron and stomps on Gunner's head as he starts to get up. Shilo goes to the opposite end of the apron. Gunner reaches his feet and Shilo runs and delivers a hurricanrana off the apron sending Gunner back first into the guard rail. Shilo's holding his shoulder after that move. The crowd cheers. (…..4) Shilo pulls himself up with help from the stairs and rolls into the ring.

Kayl: It seems that Shilo may have landed rather hard on his shoulder there. It could be dislocated.

Dawson: That could be dangerous if Gunner is able to get back into the ring.

(….5) Shilo begins to jerk around his shoulder seemingly trying to relieve some pain. Gunner begins to stir reaching a knee and grabbing the guard rail for support. (….6) Gunner gets to his feet and stumbles toward the apron. Shilo reaches over the ropes and grabs Gunner pulling him up onto the apron only for Gunner to grab Shilo's arm and drop down to the floor dropping Shilo's shoulder across the top rope. Shilo springboards back to the center of the ring holding that shoulder. Gunner then slides into the ring and begins to target that arm with some stomps.

Sharper: Gunner must of saw Shilo stretching out that arm.

Knots: It's just a matter of time before Shilo is out of this match.

Gunner grabs Shilo by the hand pulls him up and then elevates him by placing his other hand under the shoulder of Shilo extending his arm in a painful way. Gunner drops him down and follows it up with a short arm lariat attempt only for Shilo to spin around and rolls Gunner up for a school boy pin. The referee begins to count.....1.....2...Gunner kicks out. Both men quickly get to their feet only for Shilo to be taken out with a spine buster. Gunner makes the cover.....1......2.....Shilo gets a shoulder up as the crowd cheers.

Dawson: Gunner Wayne could be doubting himself here. Shilo doesn't seem to be giving up.

Gunner lifts Shilo up and sets him up for a power bomb. Gunner gets him up only for Shilo to deliver some hard right hands sending Gunner backwards into the turnbuckle. Shilo then places his feet on the middle ropes and begins to deliver some punches as the crowd chants along. “ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX....” After Six however Gunner grabs Shilo around the waist and takes a few steps out from the corner and drops down sending Shilo face first into the top turnbuckle. The crowd boos.

Sharper: Gunner Wayne with a great counter there. Wouldn't expect such ring awareness from a rookie.

Kayl: Well he was in the corner Sharper. You don't have to be the smartest guy in the world to know that the turnbuckles are behind you.

Gunner Wayne gets to his feet and drags Shilo into the center of the ring and goes for yet another cover. The referee makes the count.....1......2.....Shilo gets a shoulder up again as the crowd roars in approval. Gunner is clearly looking frustrated as he slams his fist against the mat. He lifts Shilo up only for Shilo to quickly counter into a small package.....1.....2.....Gunner kicks out. Both men get to their feet only for Shilo to dropkick the knee of Gunner taking him down face first. Shilo quickly gets up and bounces off the ropes and delivers a sit down dropkick to the face of a rising Gunner Wayne. The crowd roars.

Sharper: Shilo Valiant is beginning to show some signs of life here.

Dawson: Great deal of momentum going his way.

Shilo runs and delivers a quick rolling thunder onto Gunner and follows with a pin attempt. The referee makes the count.....1.....2......Gunner gets a shoulder up. Shilo however reacts quickly and locks Gunner's arm into the Roach Motel. Gunner is screaming in pain.....”AHHHHH!”....Shilo wrenches back increasing the pressure as the referee asks to see if Gunner is going to tap.

Kayl: Shilo out of no where locks in that Roach Motel.

Dawson: We've seen him put away quite a few superstars with that hold.

Gunner begins to inch closer to the ropes as Shilo increases his pressure even move. “AHHHHHH!” You can hear Gunner screaming: “NO!” He then with every inch of his arm gets a grip on the bottom rope forcing the referee to break the hold. Shilo complies.

Sharper: I honestly thought the match was over right there.

Shilo now looks at the corner and begins to climb to the top rope. His back is facing Gunner which was a mistake as Gunner clotheslines the left leg of Shilo out from under him resulting in Shilo dropping and his right leg getting caught leaving him in a tree of woe position. Gunner now has a smile on his face as he walks to the opposite corner. Gunner charges and goes for a baseball slide to the face of Shilo only for Shilo to pull himself up leading Gunner split legged into the steel post. The crowd lets out a collective: “OH!” Shilo unhooks his leg and drops back first onto the mat right beside Gunner.

Dawson: That may have been a rookie mistake on Gunner Wayne's part.

Shilo gets up and grabs Gunner and sets him up for the Entertainment-Factor. Shilo runs up the turnbuckle only for Gunner to hold him up in the air bring him forward split legged onto the top rope. Gunner then catches his breath before delivering a massive big boot to the temple of Shilo sending him hard to the outside floor. Gunner then drops down to a knee.

Sharper: WHAT A MATCH! These two are giving it their all out here tonight.

Kayl: This Sydney crowd couldn't be happier listen to their cheers!

The crowd is in the middle of a “Come on Shilo!” chant.

Dawson: This crowd is electric.

Shilo begins to pull himself up using the apron as leverage. Shilo reaches his feet as Gunner grabs him by the hair and pulls him up onto the apron. Shilo delivers another shoulder to the mid section of Gunner. Shilo then slingshots himself into the ring and behind Gunner. He leaps up onto Gunner's back and locks in The Necronomicon however Gunner is on his feet. The crowd is roaring as Shilo begins to shake trying to get Gunner down to the mat.

Sharper: Gunner Wayne showing great resolve here in Australia!

Gunner Wayne charges backwards breaking the hold by sending Shilo back first into the turnbuckles. Both men seem to be out of it as they are both resting in the corner. Gunner takes a few steps out and turns to charge at Shilo only to meet a boot to the face. Shilo leaps up onto the top rope and springboards off with a double axe handle only for Gunner to catch him mid air and slam him once again back first into the corner. Gunner pulls Shilo out of the corner by the arm and kicks him hard in the gut. Shilo is doubled over and Gunner Wayne is going for The Kill.

Sharper: This is about to be over, what a performance by Shilo however.

Gunner lifts Shilo up only for Shilo to counter into a hurricanrana grabbing Gunner's leg after he lands into a pin attempt. The referee makes the count......1......2.......3! (Ding...ding....ding!) Gunner Wayne kicks out right after the 3 count. Both men are exhausted. The crowd roars!

Dawson: Shilo did it!

Sharper: What a match!

 

Shilo rolls out of the ring and looks up and smiles as he stretches his arm and starts to walk to the back. Gunner Wayne looks up, holding his head before starting to walk towards the ropes. He just glares at Shilo and Shilo continues to the back before we see a couple of officials walk down to the ring. Shilo walks past them and they continue to the ring. Gunner Wayne looks at them confused as the officials then walk up to the ring. The cameraman gets in close.

 

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant picks up the win, but wait a minute, two officials are here.”

 

Dawson: “This is just odd.”

 

The officials can be overheard talking as Gunner Wayne starts to get quite agitated.

 

Official 1: “Mr. Wayne. Please come with us. We are to accompany you backstage for the next match to ensure you don’t get involved!”

 

Gunner Wayne just shakes his head before then stepping through the ropes. He shakes his head before continuing on his way to the back. The officials continue to walk with him and he turns and shakes his head further.

 

Kayl: “Sasha has brought down two officials to ensure Gunner Wayne doesn’t get involved in the next match. Ha! I love it!”

 

Sharper: “So it is going to be two on two.”

 

Dawson: “What about Ace or James or Destiny?”

 

Sharper: “What about them? Judging from Ammo, Ace and James aren’t too pleased with Chad Evans.”

 

Dawson: “That match has changed now quite a bit. What’s that dynamic going to be like in just a few moments!”

The scene changes to the backstage area to see Corey Douglas walking backstage before going to one of the locker rooms. He opens it up and then steps inside and inside we see a couple of SCW stars but Corey Douglas walks over to Warren James and smirks as he looks at him.

 

Corey: “Big champion. In the locker room with all the rest of us.”

 

Warren James just sighs as he turns to Corey Douglas.

 

Warren: “What do you want?”

 

Corey: “Whoa there. I’m not here to cause any problems. Just that I’ve noticed that all of the champions have their challengers lined up, but you. What’s that about? Not a fighting champion.”

 

Just then, before Warren can even respond, he’s cut off by Andrew Samuel Pugh.

 

ASP: “Probably not that. Probably that you’re just not on anyone’s radar. Probably because no one really knows...or cares...who you are?”

 

Corey just smirks.

 

Corey: “Well at least I didn’t lead a bunch of failures for a few months, while claiming to be making an impact when all I did was fizzle.”

 

Warren James just shakes his head as he grabs his stuff and walks off. Corey Douglas and Pugh just continue to look at each other.

 

ASP: “Either way, get in line, because as far as the Adrenaline Championship goes, you’re not jumping in front of me.”

 

Corey: “That’s right. I can just cut in line.”

 

ASP: “Then fine...be at the front of it.”

 

ASP turns and walks off as Corey turns around to look back at Warren James only to realize he has disappeared. Corey looks around.

 

Corey: “Where the hell did he go?”

 

Corey continues to look around as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as we see Ducky skipping down the hallway, very oddly after what happened earlier. She is holding a bag of gummy bears as she reaches in and grabs a bunch before shoving them in her mouth and chomping down on them. She continues on the way before she stops and turns her head sideways. She then walks forward and looks at what was the Decoy from earlier in the night. She looks at it before flicking it. She turns her head in another way before flicking it again. She then knocks on it.

 

Ducky: “Heeeellllllloooooo! Brittany! Are you in there?”

 

No response.

 

Ducky: “Hmmmm....”

 

The camera then turns and we see Disco Ninja standing next to Ducky. Ducky turns and randomly jumps back.

 

Ducky: “Whoa! You’re close...and have odd hair. You should watch out Mister!”

 

Disco Ninja doesn’t say anything.

 

Ducky: “Hello?”

 

Ninja continues to say nothing.

 

Ducky then knocks on Disco Ninja. She turns her head before leaning forward, as if listening for a heart beat. She then pulls away.

 

Ducky: “Brittany! Are you under that thing?”

 

Ducky reaches up to grab at the mask, but Ninja pulls away. Ducky just stomps her feet.

 

Ducky: “Let me check!”

 

The Disco Ninja just looks down before taking a deep breath. Ducky then leans forward to grab at the mask again, but Ninja nails her with a throat thrust in the ribs before kicking her in the chest and then jumping up and taking her down with a spin kick to the jaw, knocking her down. Ducky rolls over, holding her jaw in pain as Disco Ninja backs up and reaches into his pocket. He then pulls out a piece of paper and inside of it is a wad of bills. He places the bills back into his pocket before unfolding the paper and placing it on top of Ducky. He then turns and walks away. The camera focuses in on the paper, finding a message in black marker: “Not personal. Only business.” The crowd boos before we head back to ringside.

Kiss-Chester (Stacy Kissinger & Gable Winchester) vs. The Gospel (Katelyn Buehler & Chad Evans)

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

The video screen shows the words “Who is that man?”…a wall of blue comes up next after the words dissolve and comes up with four options one below the other, reading 1) Santa, 2) Darth Vader, 3) Bulbasaur, 4) Gable Winchester. A spotlight shines throughout the arena as a ticking clock shows on the screen next to the options before a flashing light starts glowing on the clear answer, and the crowds start to chant as the clock reaches zero and then explodes, followed by a barrage of pyros as Gable Winchester appears on the top of the ramp, stepping from foot to foot rapidly, with a microphone in hand, he lifts his arms up and down, smiling as he yells into the microphone.

“I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”

The words “Gable Time” appear on the screen now and flashes of his various matches in SCW scroll by as the sound of a violin playing a random tune can be heard before it phases out and “Fever” By Bullet For My Valentine hits finally on the airwaves, Gable drops the microphone on the floor at the top of the ramp. He turns back as Stacy Kissinger walks out and straightens out her elbow pad before looking to Gable. Gable smiles as the two start to walk down the rampway. The many fans of Gable shout his name as he makes his way to the ring, high fiving as many people as he can, as Stacy does the same before both slide into the ring and take to the top rope. Gable runs a hand through his wild dreadlocks, beaming out with joy at the fans showing their support as Stacy just looks around. She drops down as does Gable and the two look to each other as they meet up in their corner.

 

Dawson: “Stacy Kissinger and Gable Winchester getting their rematch here tonight. After what happened last Breakdown, with the Gospel trying to take them out with Gunner Wayne to no avail, this is going to come to a head tonight.”

 

Sharper: “Can Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler do it again? Chad Evans has admitted that he wanted to carry Katelyn Buehler to championship gold just to prove HIS skill. He’s done that. Can he now do it again?”

 

“For Whom the Bell Tolls” plays throughout the arena and the lights dim before light comes from under the stage. The crowd starts to boo as we see Katelyn Buehler walk out from the back and turn around, dropping to her knees as Chad Evans then walks out from the back. He looks around the ring as Katelyn just looks at him before Chad just walks right past her. Katelyn then gets up and starts to walk towards the ring as a blue hue comes all over the arena. Both hold their SCW World Tag Team Championship belts. Katelyn runs over towards the ring and slides in before getting up and then sitting on the middle rope. Chad Evans shakes his head as he walks up the steel steps. He then enters the ring before walking around the ring. He turns and looks at Katelyn as Katelyn just shows off Chad Evans as if on a game show and the boos continue. Chad and Katelyn turn and hand their titles off to the referee as the SCW World Tag Team Championship logo flies across the screen before going to the bottom corner.

 

Dawson: “Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler ready for this huge match here on Breakdown in the Land Down Under.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. World Tag Team Championship on the line. Chad Evans is hoping lightning can strike again. Gunner Wayne isn’t out here. He’s got officials with him to ensure he doesn’t get involved this time. So that’s one plus for Kiss-Chester!”

 

The bell sounds and Katelyn exits the ring as Kissinger starts out for Kiss-Chester. Gable exits and looks at Kissinger before the two walk around the ring. Chad then moves in and Kissinger drops down and into a waistlock, only for Chad to stomp her foot and nail her with a back elbow. Kissinger turns back and Chad turns and takes her down with an arm drag before pulling up as the crowd boos. Kissinger winces and Chad lifts her and jerks on the arm. He then turns and arm drags her over again. Kissinger quickly kicks Chad in the side of the head. Chad lets go and rolls over. Kissinger gets up and jumps up for a dropkick, but Chad sidesteps her. Kissinger hits the mat and Chad attempts an elbow drop, but Kissinger moves. Chad gets back up and Kissinger kicks him in the ribs before turning and throwing him into the corner. She then jumps up and dropkicks him in the jaw. Chad spins around and drops to a knee as Katelyn immediately stretches out her arm for the tag. Kissinger turns and grabs Chad and pulls him away before snapmaring him over near the Kiss-Chester corner.

 

Sharper: “Kissinger intelligently moving Chad Evans away from Katelyn Buehler.”

 

Kayl: “But why? Let Katelyn in there. She’s the far less experienced one!”

 

Sharper: “Well you can debate that. Either way, here comes a tag and Gable Winchester is the legal man!”

 

Gable looks at Chad as he’s seated and slingshots into the ring and into a dropkick to the jaw of Chad. The crowd ohs and Gable turns for the pin.

 

1!

They look around before walking over to opposite corners and climbing up to the middle ropes and hoisting the titles over their heads, getting more cheers from the crowd. Katelyn remains down and Chad just turns and kicks the barricade before starting to walk around the ring. He glances back just shaking his head before walking to the back, leaving Katelyn at ringside. The cameras then focus on Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger as they continue to celebrate their title win. Their music continues to play as they take in the moment for a few moments longer before we go backstage.

Breakdown opens up backstage and we see Marisa Condolesa standing next to the locker room of Shawn Winters. The crowd boos upon seeing that name. Shawn Winters and Charlie Laurio stand next to her.

 

Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Shawn Winters and in a few moments, you’ll be facing Christy Matthews and Syren along with Katie Steward and a lot of people have been wondering why you’ve targeted Christy Matthews as you have.”

 

The crowd roars a bit as Winters just smirks.

 

Winters: “Really, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise why I would focus against her given what she’s done lately. But given that she decided to try and get the world to cry for her when she’s the one that did something unbelievably stupid. Well...I think someone needs to question what we think about a few things. In any case, Charlie and I have a few thoughts of Christy Matthews and we’ll be happy to share more thoughts in just a few minutes.”

 

Winters then looks to her as Marisa Condolesa nods.

 

Condolesa: “Thank you Shawn. I guess we’ll find out some more of your thoughts in a moment. When we return, Shawn Winters teams with Katie Steward against Syren and Christy Matthews. This could be a very fiery match to say the least. Don’t go anywhere!”

 

Winters and Laurio leave the area as Condolesa looks at the entrance way as the crowd roars and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up in the locker room of Chad Evans and his followers as Chad Evans just turns and snaps at Katelyn Buehler.

 

Chad: “You! You had to screw it all up! You had to eff it all up by choking like you do all the time.”

 

James: “Told you she wasn’t that great.”

 

Chad: “Oh shut up. You two asswipes couldn’t do anything either. Didn’t come out to the ring. Didn’t do a damn thing. Wastes of space you guys are.”

 

Gunner then enters the room and Chad turns to him.

 

Chad: “What the hell was that?”

 

Gunner: “Sasha.”

 

Chad: “Figures that bitch would do that.”

 

Chad then turns, clearly frustrated as Katelyn falls to her knees and starts to cry.

 

Katelyn: “Chadly...God...I’ll do anything to please you. Anything. Just...don’t turn you back on me.”

 

Chad: “Oh get up. Don’t need you begging either. Get Destiny. Maybe I can lead her to greatness, since the rest of you are pathetic.”

 

Katelyn: “Please Chad!”

 

Chad: “Oh shut up!”

 

Chad just turns and walks off screen as Katelyn just drops down to a seated position between her legs, looking dejected as we go to ringside.

The crowd is silent as the sound of a woman climaxing is heard "OH OH SHHAAAWWWNN!" "I'm So Paid" by Akon follows.

 

"I get in 'til the sun rise

Goin' 90 in a 65

Windows rolled down screamin' "Ah!"

Hey-ey-ey, I'm so paid"

 

The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as Shawn Winters struts out from behind the curtain with a smirk on his face. He's followed by his valet Charlie Laurio. Shawn walks to the top of the stage before turning around and taking a few steps backwards with his arms extended. He hops around and while walking down the isle taking a glance at Charlie on the way.

 

"Number one hustler gettin' money

Why you wanna count my money?

I'm a hustler and don't need them

One of y'all, you see, I'm so paid"


Shawn makes his way up to the ring and he hops up onto the apron and begins to strut his stuff before climbing through the ropes.

 

"I see police on that crooked, I

Doin' 100 on interstate 95

My shorty leanin', blasyin' that 'Do Or Die'

Wishin' that motherfucker would, 'cause we certified"

 

He show boats some more to the fans before pushing Charlie down onto the mat. Cameras flash as he then poses on top of her with an arm raised while fireworks blast behind him. Shawn gets up and watches as Charlie begins to take off his entrance attire in a very sexual manner. Shawn then yanks her by the hair which gets a smile from her. He climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and raises his arms. He then spits his gum out into the air and slaps it away into the crowd. He then hops down back to the canvas. He then turns and walks over to Jason Phillips. Phillips hands him the microphone.

 

Dawson: “Winters mentioned before the commercial break that he had some words for Christy Matthews.”

 

Sharper: “I doubt these will be tasteful.”

 

Winters smirks as he looks around and looks at the microphone before starting to go to the middle of the ring. Charlie Laurio just watches as she smiles.

 

Winters: “Oh Christy....have you offed yourself yet? I mean Jason Zero didn’t care about your little attack. You took out some pissy little emo in Bastion Scythe. Sure his father or stepfather or something was some great champion. You brought in your ex-husband, who had his anorexic friend there and Syren, who like totally was clueless and you took him out. Some nice little message. But Christy....Zero doesn’t care. I’m not sure I do. I mean, I could beat you so easily. I just need maybe...a razor blade....or a rope.....or even just a bottle of Tylenol and I’ll have you down for the count. Literally.”

 

Dawson: “Oh come on...”

 

Winters: “Come on Christy. If you want, I’ll even do it free of charge. Help you out. Give you the ability to get it done right the first time. I mean you lost against David Helms. Whatever will you do. You failed becoming the World Champion. Boo-hoo....”

 

Winters smirks before we then hear “King of the World” play throughout the arena and we see Christy Matthews jogging through the crowd. She runs down before hopping over the barricade. She hops over it and Laurio points her out. Winters turns around and the crowd roars as Christy Matthews rolls into the ring. Winters just runs at her and quickly knees her in the ribs. Christy stumbles back and into the ropes before Winters nails her with a hard right. Christy falls back to the corner as the crowd boos and Winters kicks her in the ribs. He then follows up with a chop.

 

Sharper: “Christy Matthews running to the ring. Both individuals, their partners are not even here.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah. But they’re going right at it here!”

 

Winters chops Christy again and the crowd woos. Winters then goes to whip Christy across the ring, but Christy spins through and sends Winters into the opposite corner. Christy runs after Winters and jumps up and nails him with a jumping elbow. She backs up and Winters walks forward and Christy nails him with a spin kick. As she does, we see Syren jog down from the back. The crowd roars and several cat calls come from all over as Syren jogs down. Christy doesn’t even notice her as she turns and stomps Winters in the face and then the ribs and then the face again. Syren hops onto the apron, and looks at Christy, but Christy ignores her and grabs Winters, dragging him up before lifting him to the ropes. Christy then turns and runs across the ring and bounces off the ropes before jumping up and Winters moves out of the way as Christy bounces off the ropes and falls back. Winters starts to get up as Christy winces. Just then, we hear...

 

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

 

We then see Katie Steward roll out from the back in a wheelchair, showing her leg in a brace, TJ Johnson pushing her, as “Temporary Insanity (Pop Mix)” plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos as Gigi Steward walks out after Katie and Syren glances back and glares at them. They start to make their way to the ring as Shawn Winters starts to get up. Katie and TJ stop at the end of the entrance way, ironically a few feet away from Syren as Gigi walks around the ring and gets into her corner. The referee then calls for the bell as Syren turns back to Katie and continues to watch her.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward out here. Gigi Steward taking her place in this match as she claims she’s injured.”

 

Kayl: “And look where she is. She’s right near Syren. An obvious distraction!”

 

Dawson: “It’s just odd seeing Infamous in such an odd position, especially after they looked so dominant on Ammo!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Syren just seated in the ring, microphone in her hand as the crowd boos. Christy Matthews surprisingly is still with her as Ravyn Taylor is as well. Syren just remains seated as Ravyn shakes her head before Syren finally speaks.

 

Syren: “Katie! I’m sick of you totally trying to duck me and run away from me. Is it so bad that I want to face you one on one to see who really is the best? Is it soooooo bad that I want to take on the best for my title? Well, apparently, because you don’t want to face me. I said I would do anything to face you and I’ll keep interrupting your entrances. I’ll even interrupt your matches. I will be a total bitch until you get out here and FACE ME! So Katie! Oh Queen....come out here now or get ready for a totally annoying time with life!”

 

The crowd roars a bit and Syren just remains seated in the ring. Ravyn and Christy stand over her, trying to get her to leave and Syren just continues to be seated before we then see Katie Steward walk out from the back with TJ Johnson. With her, Gigi Steward, Robin Brooks and Paris Dannon stand behind her. Katie just looks down and smiles before shaking her head. TJ Johnson holds a microphone in front of her face as Syren pulls herself up and then walks forward to the ropes.

 

Katie: “You?! YOU! You are demanding ME to come out.”

 

Katie just laughs. Syren just nods.

 

Katie: “Little girl, I don’t need to prove myself to you. I don’t need to prove anything. I have done everything there is to do in the Women’s division. It is Gigi’s time now. But you, you are stuck in the past. Seemingly needing to continuously focus your attention on me. Just know this. You can never be me. You will never be better than me. I am YOUR Goddess. I am YOUR Queen. And I AM better than YOU!”

 

The crowd boos as Syren just looks around and shakes her head.

 

Syren: “Then fine. You can think that. But even the boss says you can’t duck out. But if you want to, then I’m so going to keep pissing you off until you have the balls to face me! For some Goddess, for some Queen, you don’t want to defend your kingdom. So you know what....SCREW YOU!”

 

Katie just turns away before turning to TJ and TJ then suddenly steps forward.

 

Johnson: “You watch your mouth! You’re talking to the Queen!”

 

Katie then stops TJ before turning away and smiling. TJ turns around and looks at Katie. He then moves the microphone back to her.

 

Katie: “Fine. You want to face me so bad. You want to lose your Women’s Championship to superiority! Well, then, fine. I’ll agree to face you. I’ll do it because I know that Sasha is going to do anything to get me to face you. But I’ll give my adoring public something more. You’ve made it clear you’ll do anything to face me and honestly, I’m going to make sure you will.”

 

Ravyn just talks to Syren and Syren then steps forward.

 

Syren: “I just want to prove I’m better than you. I’ll take you however I can!”

 

Katie just smiles.

 

Katie: “Excellent. Because I’ll fight you at Riding the Lightning, but with two conditions. The first...is that the match is under Queen’s rules, which means I can do whatever I want! But the second...Gigi Steward gets her shot at you....and....ugh....I guess Robin....Robin, I’ll bring you too and if Gigi or Robin happen to win, I then win the Women’s Championship.”

 

The crowd boos as Syren just looks a bit confused.

 

Syren: “I thought you were too big for this title!”

 

Katie just smiles.

 

Katie: “That’s why you’ll never be better than me. Because when we take the Women’s Championship. I will then present it to my princess, Gigi, and lead to a new era of brilliance in the SCW Women’s Division!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Katie: “I’ll see you at Riding the Lightning then.”

 

Syren: “I just hope you’re ready to see your kingdom fall!”

 

The crowd roars as Katie just smirks and “Vanity” plays throughout the arena. Katie Steward just flips her hair and turns and walks off as Syren just watches her leave.

 

Kayl: “Wow. Syren just gave Katie what she wanted just to get her hands on her.”

 

Dawson: “Syren has always been willing to take on a challenge. Just really odd. Add that Christy and Ravyn Taylor were clearly trying to talk her out of it.”

 

Sharper: “In any case, with Syren agreeing, Sasha can’t really work around it. Katie gets something she wants and the Women’s Championship match at Riding the Lightning is set!”

 

Syren just continues to watch before she turns around and Ravyn and Christy Matthews both talk to her. They continue to talk and Christy Matthews starts to just leave the ring and Ravyn and Syren go to follow before we then see Gunner Wayne and Katelyn Buehler hop the guardrail. They quickly enter the ring and Gunner Wayne runs over and grabs Ravyn by the head before just launching her up and back. The crowd ohs as Ravyn hits hard and rolls over.

 

Kayl: “Oh! Launched! I love it!”

 

Dawson: “Gunner Wayne and Katelyn Buehler? Why? Why are they just attacking Ravyn Taylor...and look out, Syren!”

 

Syren turns around and immediately, Katelyn kicks her hard in the ribs, causing her to fall through the ropes and land hard into Christy Matthews as she turns around. Syren’s head narrowly misses landing first on the ground. She rolls over and Gunner Wayne turns and grabs Katelyn then just lifts her up before throwing her forward and into Christy Matthews and Syren as the crowd makes tonnes of noise. Katelyn rolls over and slowly gets up as Syren and Christy both remain down. Ravyn gets up and Gunner quickly turns and just boots her in the face, knocking her down. Katelyn then enters the ring and crawls over to Ravyn, preventing any further attack for the moment. The camera manages to move in and Katelyn just yells at Ravyn.

 

Katelyn: “Just a warning. You keep wanting your little Tag Title shot. CHAD and I are going to get our rematch first. This is your warning to stay out of our way! I will NOT fail Chad again!”

 

Katelyn then gets up before the crowd roars and we see Lucas Knight and Pete Ebdon run down from the back. Katelyn turns and rolls out of the way as Gunner Wayne makes his exit. He jumps down before walking forward and steps over the barricade as Katelyn Buehler runs and jumps over it before the two start to back away. The crowd continues to make noise as Lucas Knight and Pete Ebdon slide into the ring and get up and look over at them. Christopher Richter and Autumn Valentine quickly follow as they go over to Syren and Christy. The crowd continues to make noise.

 

Sharper: “Katelyn Buehler seemingly delivering a message. Obviously Chad Evans can’t be pleased with losing the World Tag Team Championships, but did he want this?”

 

Kayl: “Does it matter? It happened and Infamous just got a bit of a taste of their own medicine in the process!”

 

Sharper: “And we should point out, Ravyn Taylor will be facing James Evans later tonight still! What condition will she be in?”

 

Kayl: “Do we have to care?”

 

The camera continues to show Syren and Christy as they get up, before showing Ravyn as she remains wincing. The crowd continues to make noise as Katelyn and Gunner make their exit through the crowd and Pete Ebdon and Lucas Knight stand guard.

The scene opens backstage as we see Thorn walking over to Harmony Fisher in the backstage area.

 

Thorn: “You ready?”

 

Harmony: “Kassie staying in her locker room like I suggested. She doesn’t need to be out here for this.”

 

Thorn: “Yeah. Don’t need a possible distraction either.”

 

Harmony: “Exactly. Plus if CHBK comes down, I can handle him if need be.”

 

Thorn: “Don’t get too confident.”

 

Just then we see Damian Angel walk up to them with Autumn Daniels behind him.

 

Thorn: “Damian.”

 

Damian: “Thorn....Are you ready?”

 

Thorn: “Yes.”

 

Damian: “Good. Because if you’re not, then this match will do you no favours. And just know, I’m not going to take it easy. One thing about CHBK...expect the unexpected and force him to no longer expect.”

 

Thorn: “I’m not wasting this opportunity against him in the Thunderdome. So I’m ready.”

 

Damian just smiles.

 

Damian: “I believe Greg Cherry thought the same when he faced me in the Thunderdome....oh well....see you out there.”

 

Damian turns and walks off. Thorn just takes a deep breath.

 

Sharper: “When we return, Thorn faces off against Damian Angel in a match he requested! Don’t go anywhere!”

Damian Angel vs. Thorn

 

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

WHEN THE SUPERMEN FALL

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

AND THE MASSES CALL FOR A SAVIOUR

The background sounds continue, then more words.

I ANSWER THE CALL…

The screen goes black and there is silence now before a buzzer sounds for a brief few seconds and then…

THORN BY NAME, ANARCHISTIC BY NATURE

and then after a brief pause finally.

HERO NO MORE?

The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thorn in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. Thomas Valentine's voice can be heard echoing around the arena

“You don‘t quite like how I operate? Get the hell over it!”

[align=center]The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Higinia” by Blessthefall blasts out before phasing out and replaced by a modified version of “Sticks And Bricks” by A Day To Remember.

“I AM FUELLED BY ALL THOUGHTS OF FAILURE”

A shot of Thorn going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas.

“I PAID THE PRICE SO I’LL TAKE WHAT’S MINE!”

A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before the song kicks in completely.

The lights flicker back on and Thorn can be seen on top of the arena's ramp, Harmony Fisher by his side as he looks out into the audience that are cheering loudly, chanting in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands, fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he spins one hundred and eighty degrees and resumes walking down to the ring again.

“BET YA DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMIN’ CAUSE I DO AS I PLEASE AND APOLOGISE FOR NOTHING! MY TIME IS FLYING BUT I’M STILL SECOND TO NONE, ALWAYS SHINING BRIGHTEST WHEN I’M PLACED UNDER THE GUN. SO HERE I STAND, THE ONLY SON OF A WORKING CLASS MAN, I WON’T BE HELD BACK, I CAN’T BE HELD DOWN!”

As he walks past the barrier he looks out casually into the crowds and high fives a few of the outstretched palms as Harmony pats him on the back and proceeds to look on with an admiring expression on her face, waving to the odd fan that catches her attention before halting at the side of the ring as Thorn slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, making the beckoning gestures again before playing to the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, he gestures for Harmony to enter the ring. Harmony then starts trying to pump up the crowds and pointing to her mentor, applauding as they exchange a few words in the ring before she slides out of the ring and both await his opponent.

 

Sharper: “Thorn about to face Damian Angel here and this is a match that Thorn asked for. Damian Angel knows CHBK better than most.”

 

Dawson: “His clashes against CHBK at Rise to Greatness are legendary. He may teach him a lot.”

 

Sharper: “And Harmony Fisher out here at ringside as Kassie Khane is in the back. Suggested to her by Harmony, seeing no harm in it.”

 

Dawson: “Harmony is trying to be the permanent manager for Thorn and at Thunderdome at Riding the Lightning, it won’t matter who is in what corner. It’s only going to be CHBK and Thorn.”

 

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

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

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

...In the slight pause between the verse and the chorus, the lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel and Daniels to the ring...

...During the chorus, they begin their approach to the ring...

Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel

...By the end of the chorus, Angel has rolled toward the centre of the ring, pulling himself to one knee. Autumn waits on the ring apron while Damian runs his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo, immediately springing to his feet thereafter ...

Beyond these clouds you can hide all your tears
Beyond this world you'll be safe from their wicked fears
And in their hearts they fear your demands
You know their minds won't accept you, they'll never understand

...As this verse goes on, Damian unfastens the clasps of his rope, letting it hang open. Autumn steps through the ropes and runs her hands over Damian's shoulders, pulling back on the robe until it is no longer on him. She steps away, bringing the robe to the corner...

Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel

...Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell. He repeats this process on the other three sides of the ring, and after the last one he hops off the turnbuckle. Autumn, from the ring apron, rubs Damian's shoulders as Damian looks at Thorn. Thorn and Damian continue to just look at each other.

 

Sharper: “Damian Angel knows also what it’s like to be in the Thunderdome. He holds a victory in the demonic structure. He defeated Greg Cherry in 2008 at Gang Rulz.”

 

Kayl: “He can teach Thorn a few evil things to do to CHBK. Damian Angel has always been one to expose CHBK. Won’t stop here.”

 

The bell sounds and Damian Angel looks at Thorn and then drops down to the floor. He walks around the ring. He starts to just slowly walk around as Harmony Fisher looks a bit confused. Thorn just looks at Damian and Damian walks slowly before Thorn turns and drops down to the floor and goes to go after him. Damian quickly hops onto the apron and Thorn runs around and Damian stomps him in the head before entering the ring. Thorn then turns and rolls back in and slowly gets up as Damian shakes his head. He then leans forward and grabs Thorn in a side headlock. He pulls up and Thorn winces. Thorn pulls him back and into the ropes before firing him back. Damian bounces off the ropes and Thorn lifts him up for a back drop, but Damian spins around. He then pushes Thorn forward, but Thorn grabs the top rope. Damian rolls back and Thorn turns and glances at him. Damian gets up and Thorn goes for a clothesline, but Damian takes him down by the arm. Thorn then flips forward and looks up as Damian backs up and looks over at him.

 

Kayl: “Damian looking good here.”

 

Sharper: “Almost patterning himself on the type of strategy CHBK would use. CHBK has outwrestled some of the best and Thorn getting a bit of a test there.”

 

Thorn starts to get up and Damian then turns and knees him in the ribs. He nails him with a hard right and then a chop. He turns and whips him into the ropes. Thorn bounces off the ropes and Damian attempts a chop off the rebound, but Thorn ducks and bounces off the other side and jumps up and takes Damian down with a flying forearm. Thorn rolls over and gets up as Damian starts to get up and Thorn kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and throws him into the corner. Damian turns around and Thorn runs over and jumps up and nails him with a knee to the jaw. Damian stumbles forward and Thorn then grabs him and hits a Russian leg sweep. He turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Damian kicks out. Thorn rolls over. He grabs at the ropes and starts to get up as Damian stirs. Damian gets to his feet before Thorn grabs him and nails him with a forearm and then another. He goes to whip Damian into the ropes, but Damian spins through and throws Thorn into the ropes. On the rebound, he catches Thorn and hoists him up before dropping him with a snap sidewalk slam. The crowd ohs and Damian gets up. He then looks around before swinging to one side and then the other before hitting a powerdrive elbow.

 

Dawson: “First the sidewalk slam. Then the elbow.”

 

Sharper: “And those are moves Damian Angel has used to slowly set up the snap bulldog and the Martyr Syndrome. Not moves CHBK will work about, but their design, what they do, quickly subduing an opponent, a trend Thorn will need to get used to!”

 

Damian then gets up before running into the ropes. He then jumps to the middle rope and dives back before turning in the air and hitting a leg drop. He then rolls over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Thorn kicks out. He turns and Damian grabs him. He nails him in the back of the head with a shot before lifting him up. He then throws him into the corner. He nails him with a chop, followed by woos from the crowd before going to whip him across the ring. Thorn hits the opposite corner and Damian runs after him but Thorn gets his elbow up. Damian stumbles back and Thorn jumps to the middle rope before turning in the air and hitting a tornado DDT. The crowd roars and Damian rolls over and gets back up. He turns to Thorn and Thorn kicks him in the ribs before lifting him up and hitting the Petal of Woe. The crowd roars and Thorn gets up. He then turns and exits to the apron.

 

Dawson: “Thorn drops Damian and now is going to the top rope.”

 

Sharper: “What may be he thinking? Either way, he hits whatever it may be, it may be very much over!”

 

Thorn looks over and then climbs to the top rope. He glances at Damian Angel before diving forward and attempting a swanton bomb, but Damian Angel rolls out of the way. The crowd ohs and Thorn hits hard and rolls over. He starts to get up and Damian gets up. He then turns and kicks him in the ribs before taking him over with a snap suplex. He then swivels his hips and starts to lift Thorn up and then takes him up and down with a sitout front suplex. Damian Angel turns and gets over to the corner. Thorn holds his face in pain as Harmony cheers on Thorn. Damian gets to the top rope from inside the ring and glances back. Thorn however then gets up and dives at the ropes and Damian hits hard and is caught on the top turnbuckle, hanging upside down in the tree of woe. Damian looks around as Thorn gets up and glances at him before running to the middle of the ring before stopping and running at Damian, jumping up and hitting a dropkick to the face of Damian! The crowd ohs and Damian drops down before falling to the mat on his head.

 

Kayl: “Oh! Right to the mush. Damian’s teeth have to be rolling around his mouth like chiclets!”

 

Dawson: “And Damian landed hard after too. He may be done. Thorn needs to roll him over for the pin.”

 

Damian starts to stir as Thorn gets back up and we then see CHBK standing in front of the locker room of Thorn on the big screen. The crowd starts to boo as CHBK just looks out and smiles.

 

CHBK: “Oh Thorn. Thorn. Come on and look at the big screen. It seems that I’m a bit lost in the arena, but look at what I’ve found. It seems to be your locker room.”

 

The crowd starts to boo as Thorn gets up and looks at the big screen, turning his back on Damian Angel.

 

CHBK: “Now you wouldn’t happen to have left someone back here? I mean, we’ve already had one locker room attack tonight. But aren’t things better in twos...”

 

Thorn just glares as he starts to exit and Damian Angel suddenly goes to roll him up for a school boy as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Roll up by Damian! Thorn distracted!”

 

Dawson: “Kassie Khane is back there! Kassie Khane is in that locker room and CHBK is threatening her there. Please tell me David Helms or someone is nearby.”

 

1!

 

2!

 

Thorn kicks out. Damian falls over and then gets up before turning around to Thorn and Thorn jumps up and plants him with the Griever’s Bane getting huge cheers from the crowd .Thorn rolls over and goes for the pin out of habit.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

He then shakes his head, almost realizing what he’s doing before rolling under the bottom rope. Harmony goes around the ring, but Thorn runs up to the back before getting towards to the curtain before suddenly he steps through, only to be nailed in the jaw with a vicious kick, causing Thorn to fall back. CHBK then steps out as the crowd boos and Harmony Fisher notices this, looking at CHBK before starting to head up faster.

 

Dawson: “What?! CHBK was behind the curtain.”

 

Kayl: “Oh come on! What the hell is going on?!”

 

Sharper: “Superkick takes out Thorn. Here comes Harmony Fisher though!”

 

Kayl: “Watch out! Watch out Harmony!”

 

Harmony doesn’t even wait as she runs at CHBK and manages to actually tackle him back and into the entrance set. The crowd roars and Harmony then starts to get up and goes to go for a forearm, and hits one before attempting another and CHBK reaches up and drives his thumb into her eye. Harmony rolls over and gets up and CHBK turns and just grabs her by the head before spinning her around and driving her hard face first into the set. The sound echoes throughout the arena and Harmony drops down. CHBK then turns and looks at her before turning back to Thorn. He then kneels down before he looks up and we see the video rewind back before then fast forward only to rewind back again and then turn back to a live feed. CHBK just smirks as he then stands up and stands over Thorn.

 

Dawson: “CHBK tricked Thorn here. He sent a video I guess. I don’t know. But either way, CHBK lured Thorn into this trap.”

 

Kayl: “And Harmony too. The bastard.”

 

Sharper: “Just think. At Riding the Lightning, they are locked inside the Thunderdome, but that also means that Kassie Khane, Harmony Fisher and whomever else won’t be at ringside and have to be backstage. No reason for them to be out here.”

 

Kayl: “And CHBK showing where Thorn’s head is at. He’s always looked to help his friends, have their back and CHBK is wreck him if he worries about that too much.”

 

Dawson: “You don’t think Infamous may try something?”

 

Sharper: “You saw Ammo. Anything is possible.”

 

The crowd continues to boo as CHBK just continues to stand over Thorn. He smirks as he then raises his arm in the air and the boos continue. The camera focuses on him as Thorn and Harmony both start to stir and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as we see Warren James seated in one of the darker hallways in the back. Jayde Blanchard is standing in front of him as he just leans back and shakes his head. The SCW Adrenaline Championship sits next to him.

 

Warren: “Christ. Hopefully we don’t get bothered here.”

 

Jayde: “You are a champion. People are going to come for you.”

 

Warren: “Yeah, but at least prove yourself. Like I did. Earn the shot. Everyone wants to be a champion. Ah, whatever.”

 

Jayde: “Well then make them earn a shot against you. Go to Sasha. See if she can come up with something.”

 

Warren: “May work.”

 

Just then the sound of knocking is heard and Jayde and Warren look over as Shaun Cruze walk over to him.

 

Warren: “You want a shot too?”

 

Shaun Cruze just chuckles.

 

Cruze: “Been getting bothered by that a lot?”

 

Warren: “Yeah, really.”

 

Cruze: “Welcome to being a champion. Almost had that myself in IWC as their champion. Close down there. You’ve got a target on your back.”

 

Warren: “Going to take some getting used to.”

 

Cruze: “You eventually get used to it. The big question is whether you let yourself get shot, or you can move out of the way at the right time and get through those title defences.”

 

Warren: “Yeah.”

 

Cruze: “Either way, just came to wish you luck. One day I may be gunning for that title.”

 

Warren: “Well, when that happens, be ready for the fight of your life.”

 

Cruze: “Same to you.”

 

Cruze then turns and bows slightly to Jayde before turning and walking off. We then cut back to ringside.

James Evans vs. Ravyn Taylor

 

The arena lights go dark, before pyro shoots off and the chorus of “All American Nightmare” blares through the PA system, and a limo pulls up near the stage.


The door opens and out steps Charles Evans, followed by Kieran Osbourne. The crowd boos a little bit at this. Then, Julie Carmen and Alicia Scott step out of the limo and there are boos, mixed in with whistles. Lastly, James Evans steps out and the crowd erupts into boos as all five make their way down towards the ring. They reach the ring steps and James goes up the steps and across the apron and leans into the ropes. Julie and Alicia climb onto the ring apron and kneel beside James(one on each side) and they rub his legs, while James smirks at the booing crowd, as Kieran and Charles talk trash to a few fans as they wait on the outside floor. James then pulls away from his bitches and steps into the ring and climbs the top rope and poses, slowly lifting his arms up above his head, as the crowd continues to boo. As the song dies down, James hops down off of the top rope, pacing back and fourth a little, just waiting.

Kayl: Could James Evans bring any more people out here to ring side; seriously, what next, The Gospel out here with him too!?

Dawson: Don’t give him ideas, he’s already been singing their praises all week!

As the commentators bicker, darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes blasts across the PA system as the lights come back up again and the screens fill with text.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to the stage dressed in a pink ring-jacket with fur trim and hood. She stands there for a few moments before the curtains part one again and Autumn Valentine and Syren make their way out on to the stage. Syren, who’s wearing a ring-jacket that matches Ravyn’s, stands back to back with her and the two of them pose while Autumn ducks down in front of them.

Sharper: And here comes his opponent Ravyn Taylor accompanied by her fellow members in Dark Fantasy, Syren and Autumn Valentine.

Dawson: Ravyn Taylor may not be in any fit state to compete here tonight though!

Kayl: The Gospel taking yet another opportunity to take out Dark Fantasy after interrupting their match with Midnight Boulevard a couple of weeks ago on Breakdown…

After a few moments the trio begin to make their way down to the ring, with Ravyn and Syren walking a little more gingerly than usual. At ringside, Autumn slides in under the bottom rope while Ravyn climbs the ring steps and steps between the ropes. Syren slowly climbs on to the apron and ducks under the middle rope, wiggling her ass for the fans as she does so. Ravyn and Syren then climb the turnbuckles, standing on the middle turnbuckles as Autumn poses on the ropes in between the duo. Syren and Autumn both point over Ravyn as she poses confident and Syren shouts out at the booing fans. Autumn rolls out of the ring as Syren and Ravyn pose together again in the corner with Syren grabbing Ravyn’s hand and spinning her around and then kissing her to cheers from the crowd. Ravyn collapses in to a seated position, fanning herself with her hand as Syren giggles and rolls out of the ring.

Dawson: And were all set here, were just waiting for the referee to call for the bell…

On cue, the referee calls for the bell as Ravyn pulls herself to her feet using the ropes. Evans paces up and down smirking over at Ravyn before pointing at her and grabbing at his crotch. Ravyn rolls her eyes as Evans’ women begin to scream at her from the outside. In the ring, Evans has spent enough time eyeing up Ravyn, who has now started circling the ring. Evans moves in, grabbing hold of Ravyn’s arm and whipping her into the corner, where she connects hard with the turnbuckles on her lower back and the back of her head. Arching her back in pain, Ravyn stumbles back out of the corner, turning in time to catch a running knee to the stomach which sends her crashing to the canvas, doubled over in pain.

Kayl: Evans using the obvious size different to his advantage early on here.

Sharper: Ravyn Taylor is one smart cookie though, she doesn’t necessarily have to out power James Evans if she can beat him with her brains…

Back in the ring, Evans drops to the canvas and goes for a pin.

1…

Ravyn kicks out before the referee can even count two. On the outside, Syren and Autumn are pounding on the ring apron, doing their best to cheer Ravyn on. Evans points at the referee before picking Ravyn up by her hair and whipping her into the ropes. Ravyn bounces back off the ropes and as she hits the middle of the ring, Evans picks her up and nails a huge spinning spinebuster, shifting his weight onto her and hooking the leg for a three count but Ravyn gets her shoulder up before the referee evens gets to ground.

Dawson: Two pin attempts in quick succession from Evans.

Kayl: Ravyn Taylor is almost a hundred pounds lighter; Evans is just tossing her around the ring like a damn rag doll…

Sharper: And you have to wonder whether she’s even up to competing her tonight anyway, she certainly doesn’t look a hundred percent to me.

Getting to his knees, Evans grabs hold of Ravyn’s head with both hands, lifting her slightly off the ground before slamming her head back onto the canvas. Smirking, Evans climbs to his feet before once again pulling Ravyn to her feet but Ravyn catches Evans off guard and hits a European uppercut before throwing a couple of back hand chops that send Evans reeling. Ravyn charges to the ropes, bouncing off and coming back, jumping and catching Evans with a flying headscissors.

Sharper: A big comeback from the young Infamous member there!

Dawson: Evans may be stronger than Ravyn but Ravyn is much, much faster than her opponent…

Autumn and Syren, who were looking rather concerned on the outside, are now jumping and clapping as Ravyn lifts Evans’ legs up before flipping over into a jackknife pin as the referee drops to the canvas.

One…

Two…

Evans manages to get a shoulder off the canvas; the referee standing and waving his arms before holding two fingers out to signal to the crowd that it was a two count. Ravyn gets up to one knee before starting to shout at the referee, arguing that it was a slow count but as she bickers with the ref she leans onto Evans’ throat with her knee, choking him out.

Sharper: Ravyn Taylor showing a lot of intelligence…

Kayl: Showing a clear lack of respect for the rules you mean!

As the referee argues with Ms Taylor, it slowly dawns on him what’s going on and after pointing to Ravyn’s knee he starts a five count with Ravyn not releasing until four. The crowd boo but Ravyn just smiles at their reaction, laughing that the crowd seem to care what they think. Ravyn takes a few steps towards the ropes before turning and running to Evans, going for a running leg drop but there’s nobody home as Evans manages to roll out of the way, leaving Ravyn to land flat on her backside on the canvas. On the outside of the ring, Evans’ father Charles is now smiling and pointing to his son, shouting at members of the crowd.

Dawson: And just like that, the entire balance of the match shifts back in favour of James Evans!

Evans smirks before pulling Ravyn up by the hair for the second time before pulling her head between his legs setting her up for a piledriver. Evans taunts Ravyn by slapping her on the ass before pulling on her tights and falling backwards to a seated position, planting her head onto the canvas. Evans lets got of Ravyn’s body and she falls to the side near the ropes.

Sharper: Evans made it very clear earlier this week that he was more than a little bit attracted to Ravyn Taylor. He’s shown her no respect here tonight and that spanking just goes to show that he doesn’t care who he insults…

Kayl: There are guys all over the world that would love that opportunity right there though!

Evans goes for the pin but the referee rushes to the topes on the opposite side of the ring as Syren has climbed onto the apron and is shouting at the referee and James Evans for Evans inappropriately touching her wife. While the referee orders Zoe to step back down to the outside and Evans’ entourage at busy ordering the referee to send her to the back for getting involved, Autumn Valentine has snuck round to the side of the ring where Evans has Ravyn covered. Reaching across the apron, Autumn grabs Ravyn’s leg and pulls it under the rope before Zoe drops off of the apron and the referee goes to count the cover only to see Ravyn’s leg under the bottom rope. The referee taps on Evans’ shoulder before pointing it out and Evans’ goes crazy.

Dawson: James Evans has the numbers advantage here but it’s the members of Dark Fantasy that are playing the game efficiently.

Kayl: And by efficiently you mean cheating right?

Evans is incensed, yelling in the referees face as Ravyn lies on the mat holding her head. As the referee tells Evans to get on with the match, he turns around and begins to stop away at Ravyn, putting boot after boot in on the young star. On the outside, Syren and Autumn Valentine look distraught but Evans’ posse are positively glowing. Evans grabs Ravyn’s leg and pulls her away from the ropes before dropping the leg and lifting her up onto her feet. He whips her into the ropes and as she comes back he lifts and spins her into a scoop powerslam, before hooking the leg quickly. The referee drops to his knees and begins the count.

One…

Two…

Thr-

As the referee is about to drop his hand for the three, his count is interrupted by Autumn Valentine climbing onto the apron. The referee gets up and rushes over to the ropes ordering Autumn to drop off the apron as Evans starts climbing back to his feet. Coughing, Ravyn also starts getting up and as Evans go to grab hold of her, she rakes his eyes while the referee has his back turned. Evans stumbles away, clutching at his face as Autumn drops down onto the outside again, knowing that she saved Ravyn again. Ravyn runs at the ropes and bounces off, charging back at Evans before jumping and hitting a running dropkick that sends Evans stumbling into the ropes. As he comes back Ravyn goes for a hurricanrana but Evans ducks under and bounces off of the ropes on the other side because running back and taking Ravyn down with a clothesline to the back of the head. He drops to the mat and goes for the pin.

One…

Two…

Ravyn kicks out before the referee can finish the three count but Evans wastes no time in lifting Ravyn right back up to her feet.

Dawson: James Evans with another close two count!

Kayl: It seems The Gospel did him a favour earlier on tonight because Ravyn Taylor just can’t seem to mount any serious offence here!

Evans wraps his arm around Ravyn’s head before lifting her up with a vertical suplex but as he gets her vertical, Ravyn begins to kick her legs, managing to drop down behind him. Before Evans has time to react, Ravyn jumps up and grabs the back of Evans’ head, before dropping him with a jumping sitout rear mat slam. Ravyn rolls on top of Evans and hooks the leg.

One…

Tw-

Sharper: Ravyn with her second pin attempt of the night getting a two count there.

Syren and Autumn shout words of encouragement from the outside, trying to help Ravyn maintain the advantage in the match as she climbs to her feet. She takes a few steps back and waits for Evans to get up, watching as he slowly pulls himself up with the ropes. As he turns to face her, Ravyn sprints across the ring, going for a spear but as she’s so light, Evans catches her head under his arm and lifts her up before spinning round and dropping her with a ddt.

Sharper: An incredible counter to that spear by James Evans!

Kayl: To be fair, Ravyn was never going to take him down when she weighs so little in comparison.

Evans stands up and glares down at Ravyn who is face down holding the top of her head. Evans kicks Ravyn in the ribs before rolling her over with his feet. He doesn’t have chance to go for the pin though because Autumn Valentine has once again jumped up onto the ring apron and the referee is busy trying to make her climb back down. Evans is incensed and rather than waiting for the referee to deal with the young valet, he steps over the fallen Ravyn and confronts her himself, swinging a hard right that connects with Autumn’s jaw, sending her flying off of the apron into the barrier.

Dawson: Oh come on, that’s going too damn far!

Kayl: Ms Valentine has been interfering in this match all night but she didn’t deserve that…

Syren runs around the side of the ring as Evans’ entourage start cheering and applauding; the crowd however don’t like his actions and begin to boo Evans. The referee is stunned and his attention turns to the young member of Dark Fantasy to check that she’s ok and while his back is turned, Ravyn swings her arm between Evans’ legs, hitting him with a low blow.

Sharper: And there’s his just dessert right there; James Evans let his anger get the better of him and now he’s paying for it in the most painful way a man can!

Back in the ring, Ravyn spins Evans around before jumping up and grabbing hold of his head, bringing him down into a double knee facebreaker.

Dawson: Evolutionary Synthesis! This one’s over folks!

Ravyn rolls on top of Evans and hooks both legs as the referee turns round to see the pin attempt. He drops to his knees and goes for the count.

One…

Two…

THREE!!!

Ravyn rolls off of Evans as “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes hits the pa system. She’s clearly exhausted but she rolls straight out of the ring to check on Autumn who has already been helped up by Syren. Together the trio celebrate while quickly making their way up the ramp as Evans’ posse are furious, yelling at the referee who is checking on the fallen Evans. Ravyn, Syren and Autumn make it to the top of the ramp before turns and glancing back towards the ring, Ravyn with a huge smirk on her face before disappearing through the curtain.

Kayl: What a match! Ravyn took a beating through most of that and yet she comes out on top tonight…

Sharper: I said earlier that she’s clever, she knows how to exploit a situation and turn it to her advantage and a win over the former Adrenaline champion won’t do her prospects any harm either!

The scene opens up backstage to see Alex Desoubrais Jr. standing in front of the television.

 

Alex Jr.: “Lucky bitch.”

 

Rachel then comes up behind him and hugs him.

 

Alex Jr.: “Looks like I may be sitting on the sidelines again.”

 

Rachel: “You’ll get your hands on your father. You can then take him out and take his spot from right under him and just imagine how sweet that will feel.”

 

Alex Jr.: “Yeah, but I got Zero and Thorn and now, you’re facing Hallucigen for the Underground Championship. I’m going to support you there, but Riding the Lightning would be a perfect time to strike.”

 

Rachel just smiles as turns Alex to her and kisses him.

 

Rachel: “Relax. Toying with Hallucigen will be fun. Toying with your father, will prove to be a much more enjoyable task for you and I can’t think of anything else I’d rather enjoy with you.”

 

Alex Jr. smirks a bit.

 

Alex Jr.: “I just wish my dad would man up and face me. Never had a problem in the past.”

 

We then here a knock at the door and Rachel lets go of Alex Jr. She then spins him around.

 

Rachel: “Then make him face you.”

 

Alex Jr.: “Easier said than done...”

 

Alex Jr. then walks past Rachel as Rachel just sighs as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown opens up at ringside to see Sasha Drachewych in the ring. The crowd cheers a bit as “Rescue Me” plays in the background. Sasha has a microphone in her hand as she smiles.

 

Dawson: “We’re being joined now by the Chairwoman of SCW, Sasha Drachewych.”

 

Sharper: “Been a hell of a night so far. One has to wonder what she’s thinking.”

 

Sasha looks out and starts to talk.

 

Sasha: “Thank you for the warm reception. I hope you’ve enjoyed Breakdown so far. We still have plenty to come including Masquerade facing David Helms in just a few minutes.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Sasha: “But first, I have just a few announcements to make.”

 

Sasha clears her throat.

 

Sasha: “First off, I’m going to deal with one of the individuals I just mentioned and last Breakdown, on Ammo, we’ve heard the word opportunity be thrown out a lot. Everyone wants an opportunity. People want their chance to shine and I cannot in any way disagree with that. Masquerade has been saying he wants his opportunity. Now Lucas Knight seemingly has taken exception to that and really, after thinking about this for a bit, I’ve noticed that Lucas Knight has indeed shown capable of really making an impact again and Masquerade has been solid as always, nearly winning the contendership tournament held last night. For those reasons, I’m more than happy to provide both with an opportunity. BUT....there is a big but...”

 

Sasha pauses.

 

Sasha: “Some people may have noticed that with Riding the Lightning being spread over two nights, whomever fails to win the World Championship on the first night, whether it be David Helms or Greg Cherry, will not have a match on the second night and to be honest, I’m not a fan of that. But whomever fails to win on Night One, will determine exactly what opportunity Masquerade and Lucas Knight will receive. Should David Helms be defeated by Greg Cherry, he will face Masquerade and Lucas Knight on night two, with the winner receiving a World Championship shot at Taking Hold of the Flame!”

 

The crowd cheers as Sasha pauses for a moment.

 

Sasha: “But if Helms retains, he obviously faces Shilo Valiant on night two, but Greg Cherry will then face Masquerade and Lucas Knight in a triple threat match for the United States Championship!”

 

The crowd cheers again and Sasha smiles.

 

Sasha: “Now, another matter of business is this situation involving Chad Evans and his followers, the Gospel or whatever they are called and the matters with Kiss-Chester, Dark Fantasy and even Karnivale. They had attempted to cause turmoil within the tag team division. Well, with all of this in mind, I’m going to make sure that those they have caused problems with all get some measure of revenge. Especially after everything that’s happened tonight. So, here’s what’s going to happen. On Night One, you figure out your team, three on three. All of Karnivale against three members of your group. I don’t care who. And on Night Two....the SCW World Tag Team Championships will be on the line in an elimination three way dance when Kiss-Chester defends against Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler....and Dark Fantasy!”

 

The crowd roars and some boo as Sasha takes a bit of a deep breath.

 

Kayl: “Damn it....well...”

 

Sharper: “At least she’s being fair. Giving out the opportunities to Dark Fantasy. They have had their issues with Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler.”

 

Dawson: “Let’s not forget Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger of course.”

 

Kayl: “And this means the Women’s Championship match will be on Night One!”

 

Sasha: “Thank you.”

 

Sasha goes to exit when “Sober” by Tool plays throughout the arena. Sasha stops and looks up as we see the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Warren James walk out from the back with Jayde Blanchard. The crowd roars and Sasha backs up into the middle of the ring as James walks down to the ring. He walks over to the steel steps before getting into the ring and looking at Sasha. Jayde just politely smiles at her as Warren walks over and asks for a microphone. He is handed one as he turns around and straightens out his Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder.

 

Kayl: “Warren James out here. The Adrenaline Champion has been very popular tonight. Apparently people are heading after him.”

 

Dawson: “Say what you will, James is an exciting young star, but at the same time, people want to get their hands on Adrenaline gold.”

 

Warren James turns to Sasha.

 

Warren: “Sorry for coming out here and doing this to you, but I heard the word opportunity and well, I can’t help but adding my two cents to the matter at hand.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit as Sasha awaits Warren James.

 

Warren: “Now, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but a lot of people are coming up backstage looking for a shot at my title. And honestly, I’d love to take them all on and show the world what I can do, but realistically we both know that’s not going to happen. But you mentioned opportunity and well maybe it’s time for an opportunity be made here.”

 

Sasha turns away for a minute, as if she’s thinking about it, before turning back to Warren James.

 

Sasha: “You know what Warren. I like that. How about at Riding the Lightning, on Night One, we take some of these faces of the Adrenaline Division and put them in a match. A six-way match, similar to the ultimate opportunity match from Body, Heart and Soul and the winner faces you on Night Two for the Adrenaline Championship!”

 

The crowd cheers some more as Warren James just smiles.

 

James: “Sounds great to me.”

 

Sasha: “Excellent.”

 

“Sober” starts to play throughout the arena as Sasha smiles and walks over to the corner, placing the microphone down in the corner. Sasha then exits and walks down the steps before walking towards the back.

 

Sharper: “Several huge matches announced. Huge opportunities for Masquerade and Lucas Knight. World Tag Team Championship set. The Gospel and Karnivale. And finally, an Adrenaline opportunity match with a title shot on the line!”

 

Dawson: “Yeah and Riding the Lightning looks to be one of the biggest weekends in SCW history!”

 

Sasha continues to the back as we then see the Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a still for David Helms vs. Masquerade.

 

Sharper: “Well when we return, our main event, Masquerade challenges David Helms, one on one, here on Breakdown. That’s next!”

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage and go into the locker room of Chad Evans and his followers again to see James Evans standing in the middle of the room, yelling at everyone.

 

James: “Give me that spot against Karnivale. I can’t get my hands on Ravyn and that bitch at ringside, but let me take out the clown freaks then!”

 

Chad just rolls his eyes.

 

Chad: “Yeah and choke. Whatever. Gunner. You’re team captain for that.”

 

Katelyn just smiles.

 

Katelyn: “Ha! You’re not even captain! How’s that?!”

 

Chad: “Shut up.”

 

Katelyn just looks down.

 

James: “What the hell?”

 

Chad: “I didn’t say you’d be on the team, just honestly, I wouldn’t let you lead the damn thing. Especially since I’m not going to sit at ringside to help you get the win. I’ve got to carry the Slut Empress again.”

 

Katelyn: “Hey! You made me a virgin again.”

 

Chad: “Yeah, whatever.”

 

Destiny: “Joy. I know I definitely picked a hell of a group to get involved in.”

 

Chad: “Exactly. I’m going to make you a start. You can be the third member.”

 

Destiny: “Heh...Works for me.”

 

Destiny just smirks.

 

Chad: “She’s second in command on the team.”

 

James: “What the hell?!”

 

Ace: “Great. Night off.”

 

Ace Marshall appears in the corner.

 

Chad: “Yeah because you can’t even beat Satan after I owned him. Hell, why are you even here? Probably don’t even know where your tights are. Whatever. You. Honestly, James....you probably should just stop talking. Never talk again.”

 

James: “Screw you.”

 

Chad: “That’s not listening. But until you learn to win again, you’re nothing to me.”

 

James: “Gunner doesn’t have a win.”

 

Chad: “Are you still talking? And Gunner is a bodyguard, not a wrestler.”

 

James: “Oh for the love of...”

 

Chad: “Either way, you, Gunner and Destiny. You guys can take out the clowns. I’m going to get my Tag Team Championship back with someone who makes Decoy look like a wrestling fiend and we’re going to return to where we were.”

 

Chad just looks at everyone as James just flips him off.

 

Chad: “Screw off everyone.”

 

Chad then walks off as Destiny turns to Gunner and then looks to James.

 

Destiny: “Maybe I made a good choice after all...”

 

The scene then cuts back to ringside.

Masquerade vs. David Helms

 

The guitar riffs bring the fans to their feet. The big screen shows several masks flying around before crashing into one another and making the word, Masquerade. We then see the man himself standing there posing. The camera does 360 around him while he looks up with his arms out slightly, palms turned out, his hands holding several different masks. The name he bears goes around him in the back ground, and suddenly there is a flash followed by clips of Masquerade beating people up in the ring and him laughing and in gothic background while he tries on different masks, still laughing out loud. These shots get faster as the music picks up. When the vocals start it goes back to utter black out and then the name ‘Masquerade’ flashes like a pulse.

We got the fire
Whose got the matches?
Take a look around at the sea of masks.
Come one Come all
Welcome to the grand ball
Where the strong run for cover and the weak stand tall.

The big screen shows more model like slow motion shots of the good looking yet deranged stranger as well as several clips of Karnivale celebrating with titles and victories. From the ramp, a pedestal opens and rising slowly as if in slow motion, with the wind blowing in his face, is Masquerade. His back is to the audience and his arms are out at different angles, holding several different masks. Behind him we see the fireworks go off showing an actual arrangement pattern in the shape of a mask. The fans, meanwhile, hold up their own masks. Masquerade holds his head down slightly while the wind blows. His vest is undone so the camera picks up his build quite easily. As he poses for the camera, he waits till he hears...

Welcome to the Masquerade

He turns slowly one eighty for the audience, before tossing his masks aside. They cause a few cool explosions when they land. Masquerade then walks down the ramp, waiting a second before running and sliding into the ring. He lies on his back and puts his hands up and lowers them over his face to take off his last mask as the vocals go 'I'm not afraid... I'm ashamed... I'm not ok... Welcome to the Masquerade!'

Masquerade kips up and slowly takes off his trenchcoat, tossing it out of the ring, and lets his vest fall a bit so he can show off. He then does it up and goes to rest on the turnbuckle, his legs up. While he waits for his opponent to enter the ring, he takes his mask and tosses it out to a lucky fan in the audience.

Welcome to the Masquerade...

The music cuts and the fans roar.

 

Sharper: “Masquerade has to be feeling good about himself. He’s got a huge opportunity at Riding the Lightning, no matter how you slice it, and Karnivale gets a bit of revenge on Chad Evans and his crew.”

 

Dawson: “But tonight, he’s worrying about the World Champion. Think of that momentum he would have with a win tonight. And even think of the mental edge if he wins should Helms lose the World Championship to Greg Cherry on Night One.”

 

WHEN DID YOU LAST MAKE A CHOICE THAT HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE?

The words flash up on the screen as the arena lights cut out completely, plunging the room into complete darkness. The sounds of a thunder storm echo around the arena as the crowd view the large screens either side of the entrance way.

WHAT IF THAT CHOICE ISOLATED YOU FROM EVERYONE THAT YOU HELD DEAR, WOULD YOU BUCKLE UNDER THE PRESSURE?

The room is electric as the sound of thunder continues to roll through the arena, whipping the crowd into a wild frenzy.

WOULD YOU DO THE RIGHT THING OR WOULD YOU TOW THE LINE LIKE THE REST OF THE CROWD?

As the thunder storm rolls to a crescendo the entire stage lights up with brilliant bright light in time with the final crack of lightning. The opening riff from a remixed version of “All I Want” by A Day To Remember hits the pa system as the crowd realise that David Helms is now stood on the stage; only his silhouette viewable as a result of the blinding white light shining from behind him. As the intro draws to a close, Helms throws his arms into the air, his hands held together in the Self High Five.

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

The intro gives way to the chorus of the song, the lyrics of which flash up on the screen, as Helms jumps in the air, breaking his hands apart. As he lands, fireworks erupt on either side of the stage before the arena’s lights come back on. Kathryn Helms, who was stood directly behind her husband, holds her hands in the Self High Five before slowly breaking them apart her self and smiling.

Helms, his SCW World Title fastened around his waist, begins to walk down the ramp; hiving fiving with fans as he makes his way to the ring. As he gets to the apron, Helms slides under the rope and runs over to the nearest ring post where he jumps up onto the second turnbuckle and throws his arms out wide on either side. As Kathryn climbs up onto the ring apron, the crowd are going completely nuts for Helms, the self professed Last Shadow of Hope, who drops down from the ring post and runs across to the opposite side, once again climbing to the second turnbuckle. Hitting the self high five one last time, Helms jumps into the air and lands in the middle of the ring before walking over to the side of the ring where he wife leans on the ropes. Kathryn kisses her husband before dropping down to the outside, leaving Helms to lean back on the ropes and wait for the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “We saw David Helms earlier approach Greg Cherry, discussing the concept of respect and whether he needed to be worried about a desperate man.”

 

Kayl: “He got the answer, but I doubt the one he was looking for.”

 

Sharper: “In any case, as we mention Greg Cherry, quick note about the next Friday Night Ammo. Another huge night then on April 8th. Greg Cherry will face off against Warren James in a non-title match. But also Lucas Knight, someone Masquerade will be watching closely-“

 

Kayl: “Both Helms or Cherry too.”

 

Sharper: “That’s true....Lucas Knight will be facing Jason Zero. Huge night on April 8th on Friday Night Ammo, live from the ARCO Arena in Sacramento.”

 

Dawson: “But right now, a huge match. Helms and Masquerade. One on one!”

 

The bell sounds and Helms turns to Masquerade. Masquerade smiles as he spins around and walks around the ring. Helms walks towards him and Masquerade then backs to the ropes before Helms moves in a bit. Masquerade then suddenly jumps through the ropes and onto the apron before nailing Helms with a quick forearm. Helms is dazed and Masquerade slingshots into the ring and nails him with a hard right before chopping him hard. Helms winces as the crowd woos and Masquerade kicks him in the ribs before turning and whipping him into the corner. Helms hits hard and Masquerade runs after him only for Helms to get his boot up. Masquerade stumbles back and Helms runs out and nails him with a running clothesline. The crowd cheers a bit and Masquerade gets back up. Helms kicks him in the ribs. He then hooks his head before going to lift him up, but Masquerade blocks it. He then tries again, but Masquerade blocks it a second time before dropping down with a small package.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Helms kicks out. Both men get up and Masquerade attempts a clothesline, but runs forward and into the ropes, stopping at the ropes as Helms turns around.

 

Sharper: “The unorthodox offense of Masquerade having Helms have to operate from the defensive a bit here.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah and Masquerade is going to psyche out Helms if he can help it.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah, but Helms will be looking out for that. He’s got to get used to that, especially with Shilo as a possible challenger if he gets past Greg Cherry on Night One of Riding the Lightning!”

 

Helms looks at Masquerade and Masquerade just smiles. Helms just tells him to come at him. Masquerade turns away before then cartwheeling towards Helms. Helms side steps him and then grabs him for a back suplex, but Masquerade backflips through. He then pushes Helms forward and into the ropes. Helms grabs the top rope and Masquerade rolls back. He then gets up and Helms runs at him and kicks him in the ribs before driving his elbow into the back of Masquerade. Masquerade falls to a knee and Helms then takes a step back before hitting a spin kick to the chest of Masquerade. The crowd ohs and Helms hits a second kick and Masquerade falls back. Helms then drives his elbow down and goes for the pin.

Masquerade kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up and Helms gets up and grabs him and nails him with a hard right. Masquerade stumbles back and into the corner. Helms then grabs him and whips him across the ring and into the corner. Helms runs after him, but Masquerade runs up the corner and attempts a corkscrew moonsault, but Helms keeps running and slides down, stopping before the turnbuckles, causing Masquerade to crash to the mat. He slowly gets up and Helms pops up and takes Masquerade down with a swinging neckbreaker.

 

Sharper: “Great telegraph right there. Dodges the moonsault and then the neckbreaker.”

 

Kayl: “He had that scouted. Masquerade just dove back but no one was home and Helms even got the follow-up shot it. Beautiful!”

 

Helms follows up with a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Masquerade kicks out. He turns and Helms grabs him by the head and locks him into a reverse chinlock. He pulls back and even places his knee into the spine of Masquerade. Masquerade winces and he slowly turns off the knee. He then gets to his knees as Helms holds on. Masquerade starts to get his legs under him and Helms then clubs him in the back. Masquerade turns. Helms then kicks him in the ribs before turning and whipping him into the ropes. Masquerade bounces off the ropes and Helms turns and attempts a clothesline. Masquerade ducks. Helms turns around and Masquerade jumps up and hits a snap hurricanrana. Helms flips through and gets back up. Masquerade turns and nails him with a hard right and then another and another before hitting a fourth shot, knocking Helms back into the corner. Masquerade then grabs him and drives him face first into his knee. Helms pops up and Masquerade then takes him down with a snap suplex. He rolls over into a pin.

Helms kicks out. He turns and Masquerade turns and gets up before jumping up and hitting a leg drop to the face of Helms.

 

Dawson: “Masquerade taking the speed of this match up. The pacing.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Masquerade is the faster of the two. He can fly around a bit better than Helms.”

 

Sharper: “Let’s not forget though. Helms did defeat Masquerade for the Adrenaline Champion this past summer.”

 

Masquerade gets up and grabs Helms and starts to lift him up. He then scoops him up and drops him with a Michinoku driver. Masquerade then rolls over and exits to the apron before climbing up to the top rope. Helms starts to get up and Masquerade gets to the top rope before diving forward and taking Helms down with a missile dropkick. He then turns and hooks the leg for the pin.

Helms kicks out. Masquerade turns and grabs Helms and drags him up. He then nails him with a hard right before pushing him into the ropes. He then turns and whips him across the ring. Helms bounces off and jumps up, hitting a high knee to the face of Masquerade. Masquerade drops down and gets back up before Helms kicks him in the ribs and spikes him with a DDT. The crowd cheers and Helms rolls over. He then starts to get up. Helms grabs Masquerade and lifts him up. He then hoists him up before placing him on the top rope. Helms turns and falls into the ropes. He then nails Masquerade a hard upward palm strike. Masquerade nearly falls back and Helms then gets up and grabs Masquerade. He starts to climb up to the middle rope before getting up to the top rope. Helms clubs Masquerade in the back before placing his head between his legs. The crowd roars and Helms lifts Masquerade up for a powerbomb before turning around only for Masquerade to counter with a huge hurricanrana and the crowd erupts in cheers!

 

Dawson: “Oh! What a counter!”

 

Sharper: “What a counter! Powerbomb into a hurricanrana off the top rope!”

 

Kayl: “Hot damn! That was sweet! Masquerade, right there, he just divided by zero! That’s how impressive that was! He dug that out of his ass!”

 

Masquerade rolls onto his back as Helms is down in the middle of the ring. The crowd continues to cheer as Masquerade rolls over. He then starts to slowly get up. Helms stirs as Kathryn watches on and Masquerade gets to his feet. Helms rolls over. He then gets up and Masquerade grabs him and kicks him in the ribs before lifting him up and dropping him with a piledriver. He then rolls over and hooks the leg.

Helms shoots his shoulder up. The crowd cheers and Masquerade rolls over and looks up. He then starts to get up. Helms stirs and Masquerade grabs him. He then lifts him up. He drags him to his feet before nails him with a hard right. He hits a second before then scooping Helms up and slamming him down with a scoop slam. He then looks down before stomping Helms in the ribs. He then turns and exits to the apron before climbing up to the top rope. He gets up to the top rope and Helms remains down. The crowd roars. Masquerade then looks down and attempts a shooting star press, but Helms rolls out of the way. Masquerade however lands on his feet and Helms manages to get up enough to lift Masquerade up and throw him back with a Samoan drop before we see Lucas Knight slide into the ring. The crowd boos and Helms gets up only for Lucas to clothesline him down. Helms drops to the mat and rolls over. Lucas turns and stomps Helms in the face and then grabs him before turning and throwing him out of the ring as the bell sounds. He turns and then stomps Masquerade in the face and then the ribs and then the face again. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Lucas Knight! He’s come out here. First he’s gone after Helms and now he’s focusing on Masquerade, the man who he’s been antagonizing for weeks!”

 

Dawson: “Masquerade can barely defend himself. Neither can Helms as they are exhausted from this match.”

 

Kayl: “Probably why he’s attacking now!”

 

Lucas Knight then looks at Masquerade as he starts to stir and lifts him up before dropping him with a DDT. He then rolls over and out of the ring before walking over to the timekeeper’s table and grabbing a steel chair. He then lifts it up before folding it up. He then rolls back into the ring and Helms slides back in. He then gets up and Lucas Knight looks up and sees this before he swings at Helms, before Helms ducks. Lucas lifts it back up and Helms jumps up and hits a spin kick to the chair, driving it back into the face of Lucas as the crowd cheers. We then see Shilo Valiant run out from the back, with his own chair. Lucas rolls over as Shilo slides into the ring and hoists it up as Lucas rolls to the floor. Helms then turns and looks at Shilo before Shilo walks over and goes to Masquerade and starts to help him up. The crowd cheers as Helms, Shilo and Masquerade stand in the ring. Masquerade pulls himself up a bit and Shilo and Helms both walk over to him. Masquerade can be heard saying something to them as Lucas Knight walks around the ring. Masquerade then pushes Shilo and Helms out from in front of him and runs at the ropes before diving over the top rope and flip diving onto Lucas Knight. The crowd erupts in cheers as Masquerade rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Masquerade with a suicide flip dive over the top rope and onto Lucas Knight!”

 

Dawson: “And these two seemingly hate each other as they’ve been going at each other and here, Masquerade continuing the fight against Lucas Knight, pushing Shilo Valiant and David Helms out of the way.”

 

Masquerade starts to get up as we see a couple of officials come down from the back and start to break the two of them up. Lucas rolls over and stumbles over as Helms just watches them and then turns back as the SCW World Championship is placed on the apron. Shilo notices this as Phillips places it there and Shilo walks over and grabs it and lifts it up. He then looks at it as Helms glances back. Kathryn just looks on as Helms then notices Shilo has his belt.

 

Kayl: “Oh....look at this....”

 

Shilo Valiant just looks at it before turning to Helms and Helms says something to him before Shilo just looks at it for a moment longer and then extending it out towards Helms. Helms grabs it and Shilo smiles before lifting it up and holding Helms’ arm over his head. The crowd cheers as Shilo then let’s go and Helms looks at the belt. He then turns back around before Shilo suddenly kicks him in the ribs and grabs him by the arms and then hoists him up and drops him with the Morning Star. The crowd ohs and a very mixed reaction comes from the crowd, with loud cheers and loud boos. Shilo then gets up and looks at Helms before turning and yelling out “NECRO!” Several fans yells it out after him as “For Your Entertainment” starts to play throughout the arena.

 

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant just dropped the World Champion with the Morning Star!”

 

Dawson: “Sending a message. Helms focused on Greg Cherry earlier, but if he gets past him, he has to look out for just that! The Morning Star from Shilo Valiant!”

 

Helms grimaces in pain as Shilo Valiant smiles and looks around. His music continues to play as Shilo Valiant walks over to the corner and jumps to the middle rope and throws his arms up in the air. The camera focuses on him for a moment longer before the scene fades to black...
