MAIN SHOW:
The opening bars of “The Old Me”
by Memphis May Fire play as the Breakdown logo flies across the screen.
I'm thinking about the old me
'Cause I've been feeling empty
I never used to be so dead inside
Shots of Syren celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a
shot of the Beauty Factory standing tall in the ring. Following this is Aaron
Blackbourne hitting the Unchained Creativity on an opponent. Katie Steward
hitting the Off with her Head on Giovanni Aries at Retribution 2018 follows.
I think I lost my memory
I can't remember carefree
And all my days turn into fight or flight
Owen Cruze hitting the Cruze Stomp on an opponent follows before we see Selena

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?
Chris Cannon spearing Kennedy Street and Owen Cruze follows before we see a
shot of Cassidy Carter dancing on her way to the ring, and then a shot of Regan
Street and Datura swinging chairs at one another. The Breakdown logo comes up
on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.
We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Pepsi Center in Denver,
Colorado. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.
Sharper: “It’s the first week
of March and we’ve arrived in Denver, Colorado!”
Knots: “Think we’ll run into
the Masta of Speed here?”
Sharper: “I doubt it!”
The crowd cheers as the
cameras continue to pan before cutting to ringside to see Adam Sharper and
Jonathan Knots standing next to the ring.
Sharper: “Hello everyone. I’m
Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and tonight, two huge tag team main
events highlight our night of action.”
Knots: “You think? Infamous
will be in action as a whole when Syren, Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews face
David Helms, Owen Cruze and Blake Mason, Mason making his first appearance in
the ring since returning!”
Sharper: “And then, Ace
Marshall and Asher Hayes, recent friends, will face off against Glory Braddock
and Sienna Swann. All this just eleven days away from Retribution!”
Knots: “Yeah, but look behind
us, in the ring, we have some people waiting for a decision!”
The scene cuts to the ring as
Kandis can be seen watching across the ring with Tommy Valentine in front of
her. Across the way is Selena Frost and Regan Street. Regan can be seen playing
to the crowd a bit as Selena keeps watch.
Phillips: “Ladies and
gentlemen, please welcome, our owner of S! C! W!”
The crowd cheers a bit as we
see Sasha walk out from the back.
Sharper: “The Jackass and Big
Ass Connection and Frozen Hell in the ring right now. Last week, let’s take a
look at the end of their contendership match.”
BREAKDOWN – LAST WEEK:
Selena goes to run forward, but Kandis reaches in and
trips her up. Selena hits the mat. Kandis slides back in and the official goes
to stop her, but Kandis runs over and jumps up and hits the Starmaker on Regan.
Regan pulls Tommy back as she falls down. Tommy rolls through and ends up on
his feet only for Selena to nail him with the Glass Shard.
Knots: “Things broke down but
Regan Street and Tommy Valentine were the legal men and then bam! Starmaker!
Before bam! Glass Shard!”
Sharper: “Both so quickly able
to hit those strikes and in the process, the two landed next to one another and
in the process covered each other!”
Tommy falls back and next to Regan. Kandis turns and runs
at Selena and clotheslines her up and over, both go up and over to the floor.
The referee then counts as we see Regan’s arm over Tommy and Tommy’s arm over
Regan.
1!
2!
3!
The bell sounds. The crowd buzzes and then boos a bit.
Aaron Demitra gets up and looks at both before walking over to Phillips. He
speaks to him while pointing to both.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, senior official Aaron
Demitra counted both competitors shoulders down. As a result, this match is a
draw!”
The crowd boos a bit. The Breakdown logo comes up on the
screen.
We return to a live shot as
Sasha is now in the ring, microphone in her hand as Kandis looks at the big
screen with some disgust as Tommy watches Regan and Selena. Regan now leans
back as Selena steps forward. Sasha looks around.
Sharper: “And we were told
that we’d find out what would happen in this situation.”
Knots: “Presumably right now.
Otherwise this is a cruel joke.”
Sasha: “As you just saw, last
week’s number one contendership match ended in a draw with Selena, you hitting
the Glass Shard on Tommy Valentine…”
The crowd cheers.
Sasha: “And Kandis…you hitting
the Starmaker on Regan Street. Both falling next to one another before covering
each other to pin the other. Aaron Demitra making the only decision he could,
declaring the match a draw.”
Sasha pauses.
Sasha: “Tonight, I said I
would address this issue and in fact, I’m going to be dealing with a number of
loose ends tonight and we’re going to start with this.”
The crowd roars as Sasha turns
to both teams.
Sasha: “See, nothing was
solved last week in this ring, but what I’m going to do is because of how that
match ended, both of you pinning the other, at Retribution, Infamous will
defend the SCW World Tag Team Championship…against BOTH the Jackass and Big Ass
Connection and Frozen Hell in a triple threat match!”
The crowd cheers. Regan then
steps up and walks over to Sasha. Kandis smirks. Regan then asks for the
microphone. Sasha turns, holding the microphone up for her.
Regan: “Well this is exactly
what I would’ve wanted because you’re right, Sasha, we’ve solved nothing in
that ring and the fact is that after she managed to get a lucky shot in that
got the three, I feel that I need to show her that she won’t be getting lucky
again!”
The crowd roars. Kandis steps
forward as Tommy goes to stop her. Sasha turns and Kandis grabs her arm to get
the microphone in front of her.
Kandis: “No luck. Been training
these legs for years. Just because I did exactly what we said we would, stop
you last week, don’t need to get salty. Save that for Retribution when we end
these fantasies of being the Tag Champs while we’re around.”
The crowd boos.
Regan: “Want to try to hit me
right now?”
Kandis smirks and goes to step
forward, but Sasha keeps them apart as Tommy holds Kandis back. Selena holds
Regan back as the crowd starts to roar. We then see agents and officials runn
down to the ring, several sliding in and getting in between the two teams as
Sasha stands in the middle.
Sharper: “Things heating up
between these two top teams!”
Knots: “Add Infamous in there
and both teams have had their issues with them! I’m liking this. It’s feisty!”
Sharper: “Regan wants Kandis.
Kandis showing more and more confidence and Tommy knows it all. Selena Frost
trying to support her friend. Add Infamous in there. Those three teams will
compete for the World Tag Team Championship at Retribution in eleven days!”
Regan steps forward, stopped
by Selena as Kandis is now goading Regan. Regan just smirks as Sasha remains in
the middle, officials around her, keeping the two teams apart before we cut
away.
Backstage,
we see Konrad Raab on his phone, walking out of his locker room.
Raab:
“Yes…I hear you. Thank you doctor. I’m on my way. I should be there in the
morning!”
Raab
then hangs up. He starts to head off as we see Alistaire Allocco in the
hallway. He turns and looks at him.
Allocco:
“Konrad…what’s up?”
Raab:
“My wife is giving birth. I need to go. Can you tell Sasha?”
Allocco:
“Of course. Safe travels.”
Raab:
“Thank you my friend.”
Raab
heads off as Allocco watches him head off as we cut away.

Breakdown returns to see Jaina
Lancaster standing with Scarlet Grey.
Jaina: “Welcome back to
Breakdown. I’m here with Scarlet Grey and Scarlet, last week, a tough loss, but
you’re back in the ring. How is, I assume, the injury that kept you away?”
Scarlet: “I’m fine…Completely
fine!”
Scarlet moves forward into the
face of Jaina. Jaina backs up a bit as Scarlet leans back and almost resets
herself.
Scarlet: “Nothing anyone
should worry about because I am back and here to make people uncomfortable in
new ways. I see Datura is back. She may be gunning for me. I’d love to injure
her a second time just to prove what I can do. Because let’s face it, we need a
fresh face that people will watch to watch and that’s me, no matter how much
people don’t like how I act, how I dress, of what I show off, people watch me
because well…I’m always doing something bad.”
Scarlet smiles. Jaina looks at
her.
Jaina: “Thank you for your
time…”
Scarlet smiles and walks off
before the smile disappears entirely and she coldly walks off.
Lucas Knight vs. Gigi Steward
Out go the lights with a flick
of a switch as all eyes focus onto the stage, just then the screen lights up as
the opening to Alpha King by Rev Theory begins to play over the P.A system.
Then and only then we see a series of words in italic writing phase in and out
on the big screen...
.Infamous.
.British.
.Legendary.
Spotlights all start to focus on the stage entrance now changing colours,
shades of red, white and blue and during that time a silhouette of a man can be
seen walking out onto the stage with a familiar aura of confidence. Just then
the final words explode onto the tron causing the crowd to react accordingly as
the music hit's into full swing...
.LUCAS KNIGHT.
The crowd's cheers fill the arena as the lights come back on fully to show
Lucas Knight standing on the stage looking at the crowd, he wears a while
leather jacket with the union jack emblazoned on it. He looks out to the crowd
witha smirk and nods as their roar once again as David Helms steps out beside
him.
Phillips: "Ladies and Gentleman, hailing from Santa Monica, California. He
weighs in tonight at two-hundred and thirty pounds. Being Accompanied to the
ring by David Helms, He is the 2015 Trios Winner, He is representing the
Handsome Devils Club, He is the Alpha King, LUCAS KNIGHT!!"
Just then video of Lucas' career plays out on the tron as the music ramps up
even more. The Lucas and David bump fists and begin to walk down towards the
ring slapping hands of some fans in the front row aisle's. Once they reach the
bottom, Lucas slides under the bottom rope and quickly scales one corner and
looks out to the crowd with another smirk as he now removes his jacket and
hangs it over the steep post.
David looks up and nods as the two share a few words to each other before
Knight jumps down to the canvas and begins to pull at the top rope and warm up
for the match ahead.
Sharper: “Lucas out first and looking fresh thanks to the break since his last
match against Kimberly Williams…”
Knots: “And given how that turned out, he obviously wants to make amends this
week. David at ringside, Handsome Devils Club have something to prove and a win
tonight would certainly add some salt to wounds that go back to Day of Infamy.”
Sharper: “Wrestling as El Lucho Grande then of course, but a definite sense of
deja vu with this matchup given the television title run he had while under the
mask, that much is true.”
As Sharper and Knots talk, “Supreme” by Angel Haze plays throughout the arena
as the stage and video screen goes dark.
Phillips: “And his opponent…”
Gigi’s video plays on the screen and she steps out on to the stage wearing a
black leather with tiny metal spikes on it and also a bandana covering her
face. She walks up to the center of the stage and stretches her arms out embracing
the fans support for her. She begins is march to the walk to the ring walking
with a purpose.
Phillips: “From Los Angeles, California… GIGI STEWARD!”
She gets to ringside and rushes into the ring rolling inside. She marches
to the corner and hops on the middle ropes and throws out her own hand sign to
the fans. She then rips off the bandana and tosses it into the crowd. Gigi hops
off the ropes and takes off her jacket setting it aside for ring crew to pick
up and she gets ready for her match.
Knots: “Gigi probably feels like she has some revenge to get tonight, after
what occurred at Day Of Infamy and that could give her an advantage in this
one.”
Sharper: “At the same time, it could be a distraction; if her focus is on
revenge rather than simply trying to pick up the victory, will the lack of
concentration cost her?”
Knots: “A member of the SCW roster acting rashly and ultimately to their own
detriment? That never happens, Adam!”
The camera returns to the ring, and the official checks on both corners before
calling for the bell. Gigi eyes Lucas suspiciously as he steps out of the
corner and moves towards the centre of the ring. He throws his hands up,
showing he’s not looking to play games before shrugging and Gigi steps out of
the corner before they lock up in the middle of the ring. Lucas starts to push
Gigi back into the ropes. Gigi bends backwards against the ropes under the
pressure before the referee orders Lucas to break the hold and he does so
straight away before stepping back.
Sharper: “Lucas following the officials orders to the letter, something that
hasn’t always been the case over the years.”
Knots: “David Helms has evidently had a negative effect on him. Lucas may have
bent the rules regularly in the past, but his rule bending gave him a vicious
streak too. Is that still there? That’s the question.”
In the ring, Gigi steps forward from the ropes and she and Lucas meet in the
middle again. They lock up, but Lucas overpowers Gigi and spins behind her,
before applying a waist lock. Gigi tried to wriggle out of his grip but Lucas
lifts her up before driving her down with an atomic drop. Gigi falls forward,
holding the small of her back but Lucas steps forward and as Gigi sits up, he
drops to one knee, driving his other knee into Gigi’s back for a second time.
Lucas adjusts and pushes Gigi to the canvas before making a cover.
1…
Kickout!
Sharper: “First pin attempt goes to Lucas after a stiff knee but only gets a
single count for his trouble.”
Knots: “Lucas has that obvious power advantage so it makes sense to try and
manhandle Gigi in these early moments, but say whatever you want about the
Steward family, it is gonna take more than that to keep Gigi down.”
In the ring, Lucas gets to his feet and pulls Gigi back up. Lucas throws a stiff
forearm and follows it up with a European uppercut before sending her into the
corner. Lucas back ups across the ring before stepping forward, doing a forward
roll and as he pops back he hits a dropkick to Gigi’s midsection and the crowd
roar as he gets back to his feet.
Lucas: “OLE!”
The fans roar as a smirking Lucas goes back to Gigi and lifts her from the
corner but Gigi fires off a right then another and Lucas stumbles back. Gigi
continues to fight, and Lucas seems rattled for a moment before he recovers his
composure and blocks the next shot and hits one of his own. Gigi staggers and
Lucas whips her into the ropes. Gigi bounces back and Lucas swings with a
clothesline but Gigi ducks underneath and hits the ropes behind him. Lucas
spins around as Gigi comes back off the ropes and she hits a huge crossbody,
the momentum taking Lucas down and Gigi makes the cover.
1..
Kickout!
Sharper: “Lucas playing to the fans, a throwback to El Lucho Grande there, but
Gigi catching him by surprise with the crossbody.”
Knots: “The momentum carries her right into a pin but it wasn’t even close.”
Gigi rolls to her feet and tries to keep the momentum going. She hits the ropes
and jumps up, bouncing off the middle rope and springboards back, landing a big
asai moonsault and the crowd roar as Gigi hooks the leg for the cover
again.
1…
2…
NO!
Lucas kicks out with authority this time and Gigi rolls away under the force of
the kickout. Lucas rolls to his hands and knees as Gigi gets to her feet and
turns and runs at the ropes. She bounces off and runs back at Lucas, looking
for a high impact running knee but Lucas readjusts in a flash and a drop toe
hold sends Gigi face first into the bottom rope. Helms punches the air before
yelling something to Lucas and he nods.
Knots: “Gigi’s face slamming into the bottom rope, that one had to hurt!”
Sharper: “Her jaw and her ego. And Helms just said something to Lucas, the
message was understood apparently…”
Gigi rolls over, holding her jaw in pain before Lucas drags her right back to
her feet. On the outside, Helms starts pumping up the crowd but they don’t
exactly need it as they can see what’s going on inside of the ring. Still dazed
from slamming into the ropes, Gigi can’t stop Lucas lifting her up and what
goes up has to come down. Lucas drives her into the canvas with the Monarchy
Rules before making the cover.
1…
2…
3!!!
The referee calls for the bell and “Alpha King” hits the speakers again as
Lucas rolls off. Helms slides into the ring and offers a hand to pull Lucas up
as the fans cheer.
Sharper: “A quick decisive victory, Lucas Knight with the Monarchy Rules and he
knows he’s now moving on to Xander Valentine at Retribution!”
Knots: “Those Lucho’s continuing to get one over on the Stewards, just like Day
Of Infamy. Lucas back to winning ways and what a match that’s going to be at
the pay per view Adam, though a far different prospect from tonight’s match…”
Sharper: “Indeed Jon, but tonight, Lucas celebrates the victory and these fans
are loving it…”
The camera cuts back to show Lucas’ arm being raised in victory by the referee
and Helms raises his other arm before they exit the ring. Gigi watches on from
the corner, glaring at the two as they make their way up the ramp to the back
and the scene fades.
Backstage, we see Amy
Chastaine walking down the hallway as we see Sasha talking to a crew member.
Amy stops and smiles. Sasha looks up, seeing her.
Sasha: “Excuse me a moment.”
Sasha turns away from the crew
member.
Sasha: “Amy, can I help you?”
Amy: “More just well, Kelsai’s
about to face Damian and well, with everything involving the TV Title. Is he
the champ? Is it Peyton? What’s going on?”
Sasha: “Damian Angel is the
champion. SCW is not going to allow him to just hand over the title. And not
only that, Peyton, I’m sure doesn’t want to earn it that way.”
Amy: “Okay, that’s clear
enough. What about Ravyn Taylor?”
Sasha: “That’s something else
we’re dealing with tonight. Tell Kelsai to focus on the match. I’ll focus on
Ravyn.”
Amy: “Alright…but you know
you’re not the only one on that latter point…Damian.”
Sasha: “I know.”
Amy turns and heads off. Sasha
turns back to the crew member.

Backstage,
Jessica Winters is with Syren, who stands with CHBK, in the backstage area.
Jessica:
“I am here with Syren and Syren, you and Infamous attacked Owen Cruze last
week. This seemingly came out of nowhere. If this is about the Trios
Tournament, it seemed pretty targeted and well-“
Syren:
“This is not just about the Trios Tournament. This is about everything. I
should have been facing James Evans at Retribution and making sure that his
career comes to an end. Instead, Sienna Swann uses his Trios contract to do it.
And I have to wait. This coming after a year where I was disrespected time
after time after time!”
Syren
pauses.
Syren:
“And since I can’t go after James, thanks to Sienna. And yeah, maybe trios is part
of this all, but if you go back one year, there’s one person who I should’ve
beaten and I should’ve knocked down the ladder. The person I blame for
everything…Owen Cruze.”
The
crowd boos.
Syren:
“When he pinned me at the Tactical Warfare match, ending any hope for this
company to be led into the future by myself and Katya and other like-minded
people, the disrespect has been rampant. He’s constantly said I don’t deserve
the shots. He’s been a favourite. He even attacked Alex and I never made sure he
regretted it. Well if I can’t have James, I’m going to go to the root. And
Owen, you’re the lucky one. Because now, I can focus just on you and END your
time at the top, take your spot, and remind you that this is MY wrestling
company. That I’m going to earn the respect from you and all of those who
follow you, who cheer you. And I hope you just remembered what you’re getting
into because you’ve gone after my character for the last year. Time for me to
get payback and make you oh so TOTALLY jealous!”
The crowd
boos. Syren looks at the camera before turning and walking off. CHBK follows as
Jessica turns back to the camera.
Jessica:
“There you have it. Back to the ring.”
The
scene cuts away.
Kelsai Adamson-Mason vs.
Damian Angel
SCW Television Championship
Phillips: “The following match
is scheduled for one fall… and it is for the SCW Television Championship.”
A very traditional entrance with no lights or pyro as Kelsai believes you have
to earn those things, and by her estimation she has not earned anything yet.
She walks to the ring quickly and confidently while "Let Love In"
plays in the background and she has the hugest smile on her face while her
manager Amy Chastaine walks by her side, smiling brightly.
Phillips: “Introducing first… from 118 pounds… from Seattle, Washington….
KELSAI ADAMSON-MASON!”
Getting to the ring, Kelsai jumps from the floor to the ring apron before she
steps through the ropes, reveals her simple all white attire, and goes to her
corner, smiling and waving enthusiastically, before she gets ready for her
match, with Amy keeping watch from the corner outside. Amy waves her over and
the two start having a discussion as they wait.
Sharper: “Damian Angel was told that he’s still SCW Television champion and is
expected to defend the belt.”
Knots: “We’re waiting on him.”
Kelsai jumps forth from the corner and does some high kicks to stretch out her
legs. She waves to the fans a little more as she waits.
Sharper: “Damian Angel is slow to come out here.”
Knots: “Phillips is falling asleep waiting to announce Damian.”
In Ring: Angel wrestles in shorts, adorned with an upside-down cross on the
left leg. They are black in colour with white trim (and a white cross). He has
two white kneepads, two white elbowpads and black boots.
Out of Ring: Damian Angel can always be seen in a suit of black pants and a
black shirt with a white suit jacket. He will wear dark sunglasses and possibly
a black and white bandana over his hair.
Extra Entrance: Along with his in-ring attire, Angel also wears a full-length
black robe with a large white upside-down cross on the back, and a smaller one
over the right side of his chest.
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
...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 shine on the entrance way.
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 come out from the back, making his way
hastily down the ring ramp. He slides into the ring. He doesn’t wait, he
immediately starts throwing haymakers towards Kelsai. The referee dives in to
stop the attack. Damian seems eager to get this match going as the referee
calls for the bell.
Sharper: “Damian Angel finally makes his entrance and he doesn’t even wait to
be announced before he attacks Kelai.”
Knots: “He seems like he wants to get this match over with.”
Sharper: “Kelsai is stumbling away from the closed fists. Referee is trying to
get this match under control in the early moments.”
Damian Angel throws a clothesline, but Kelsai rolls underneath. She’s on her
feet instantly. Damian reaches up underneath her arm, Kelsai handsprings away.
He goes for the legsweep but she hops over. Damian Angel reaches forward to get
a hold of her in a grapple but she rolls forward, pulling Angel down with her.
Sharper: “Early pin!”
1…
2-
Knots: “Damian not caught off guard but he did walk right into that trick. One
of the oldest in the books.”
Before Kelsai is able to get to her feet, Damian has hopped on top of her. He
started to club her with forearms to the head. She manages to finally push him
off and roll to the outside of the ring. Damian Angel propels forward, diving
through the ropes with reckless abandon and knocks Kelsai right off her feet.
Amy yells at Damian Angel to bring this back into the ring but he lifts Kelsai
up and tosses her hard into the ring steps.
Sharper: “Damian Angel is getting violent out on the outside of the ring.”
Knots: “He’s just trying to devour poor Kelsai.”
Damian Angel comes running forward with a high knee strikes and blasts
Adamson-Mason in the head. He rolls her back in before sliding in underneath
the bottom rope. He runs to the far ropes and comes back with another high
velocity knee strike, connecting with Kelsai as she was climbing to her feet.
In a daze, she searches for her feet. From behind, the arms are pulled back,
picture perfect tiger suplex in the center of the ring. Damian bridges.
Sharper: “Tiger suplex! The bridge!”
1…
2…
Sharper: “Kelsai kicks out. She still has a lot of fight left in her.”
Knots: “She wants to win back that SCW Television champion, to which she lost
only a few weeks ago to Jake Starr.”
Damian Angel pushes Kelsai onto her side and drives knees into her spine. He
stands up, stomping his feet while doing so. Kelsai pulls herself up using the
ropes, trying to breathe. Immediately, Angel is in attack mode, proceeds to
hammer her back with elbows. He takes her and whips her across the ring. He
runs towards her to collide but she leaps off and takes him off his feet with a
crossbody take down. Both hop up onto their feet but Kelsai gets there first
despite abstaining damage in the early going, front dropkicks Damian Angel into
the ropes, he falls through the ropes and spills out to the outside.
Sharper: “How does Damian Angel likes the taste of his medicine. He has tried
to bully Kelsai in this match and she just sent him packing to the outside.”
Knots: “I think Kelsai has some aggression pent up inside of her.”
Sharper: “Now where is she going?”
Knots: “To the top!”
Kelsai climbs up onto the top rope and looks down for a moment at Damian, who
pulls himself up using the ring apron. Diving crossbody from the top rope takes
both competitors down to the floor. The crowd erupts.
Sharper: “That might have done just as much damage to Kelsai as it did to
Damian.”
Knots: “High risk maneuver paid off to the fan’s liking.”
Both competitors roll into the ring to break the count. Kelsai’s to her feet
first and she is lining up Damian Angel. She monkey flips Damian Angel
who lands on her feet. She runs past, handsprings to leave him in a daze and
comes bouncing back off the ropes with an elbow to knock him off his feet. She
smiles, points towards the corner. She leaps up onto the top rope and zeroes in
on a scrambling Damian angel. Missile top dropkick from the top rope! No, Damian
Angel side steps and swats her down like a fly. She hits the canvas with a loud
thud.
Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason built up some momentum there but it’s gone in a
flash!”
Knots: “It left just as quickly as it left.”
Running elbow strikes sends Kelsai flying back into the corner. She staggers
forward after impacting the turnbuckle. Damian Angel pops up behind her, pulls
her arm back, dragon suplex, driving Kelsai right onto the upper neck area.
Sharper: “Vicious dragon suplex by Damian Angel.”
Knots: “He’s not finished, Adam. He’s lining up his next attack.”
Damian Angel stalks Kelsai as she flounders to her feet in a daze. She turns
and is drilled by the Bitter End. She comes crashing down hard onto the canvas.
Damian Leaps forward, hooks the leg:

Sharper: “Kelsai kicks out!”
Knots: “If Damian Angel retains, is he going to try to give Peyton Rice that
belt again?”
Sharper: “I do not know. To think that the belt is something that can be given
away. Peyton surely doesn’t want the belt handed to her. It’s disrespectful.”
Damian Angel sits up while Kelsai stays there on her back, arms extended.
Damian Angel jumps to his feet, vaults to the top rope. The Martyr Syndrome! No
Kelsai rolls out of the way, catches him with a roll-up pin.

Damian Angel kicks out, almost caught by surprise that time. Kelsai’s on her
feet, she springboards off the middle rope, connecting with a dropkick. Damian
Angel scrambles as the crowd is roaring. He turns to search for Kelsai but she
connects with axe kick. With Damian Angel down, Kelsai stumbles to her feet and
goes to the corner.
Sharper: “Kelsai is on fire right now! Damian Angel is in trouble!”
Knots: “She’s ascending the top rope!”
Sharper: “BOMBS AWAY!”
Knots: “She gets all of Damian Angel on that landing.”
Sharper: “The hook of the leg…”

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason has regained the SCW Television Championship!”
Knots: “What a finish! One second, she’s getting beat bad, and the next, she
hits her trademark move and score the pinfall.”
Kelsai Adamson-Mason rolls off
and gets up and smiles.
Phillips: “Here is your
winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW Television Champion, Kelsai Adamson-Mason!”
Amy Chastaine climbs up the steel
steps and enters the ring. Damian winces in pain as Kelsai celebrates. Amy
walks over and raises her arm. Kelsai looks around as the crowd cheers her.
Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor, we
assume, is holding the title. But Kelsai Adamson-Mason the new champion.
Winning it back here tonight!”
Kelsai and Amy continue to
celebrate before we cut away.
Backstage,
we see Sasha quickly checking her phone as we hear a knock on the door and
Xiomara Diaz steps into the room with Chris Cannon. The crowd boos. Sasha turns
to the entrance.
Xiomara:
“I don’t care for having to walk over here when frankly there is nothing we
need to be listening to you for.”
Sasha:
“Is that so?”
Xiomara:
“We have the match. We have the Thunderdome. We have the Trios contract to
confirm it all. We’re just eleven days before we become the most important
group here. And having us come here when you know James Evans is going to prove
to be so pathetic to attack me or Chris.”
Sasha:
“Why you’re travelling in numbers? Well, there’s many of you. One of him. I’m
sure you’ve got it under control.”
Chris:
“It will be under control if he gets in our way and he can’t answer the bell at
Retribution.”
Sasha:
“SCW is going to do our best to avoid that. But I’m here for something related,
but more specific to Retribution and it’s why I wanted to speak with you
Xiomara.”
Xiomara:
“Going to finally make a deal with your most marketable stars?”
Sasha:
“Not quite. More that I needed to make sure you heard this face to face so
there’s no confusion.”
Xiomara:
“Oh?’
Sasha:
“See I can’t do anything about the match. You’ve stacked the deck against
James. That’s all set in stone. But I can prevent it from being a farce. If
Sienna or Chris are going to walk out of Retribution as champion, they’re going
to either legitimately make James tap or legitimately get a three count. No
fast counts, no immediate bell rings. No open screwjob. I know you and Bree are
going to just team up. Can’t stop that. But I can make sure that if there’s
some way James Evans can fight it all off, you can’t just end the match in
Sienna or Chris’ favour. You do…I will void the result.”
Xiomara:
“We won’t need to. Because James won’t last against the sheer talent he’s up
against”
Sasha:
“Good. That’s all. You can go.”
Xiomara
turns and Chris steps over.
Chris:
“This better not be a way for you to just screw us out of what we’ve earned.”
Sasha:
“Not going to say anything there. Just that Chris…you or Sienna, if you’re
walking out World Champion, you’re going to pin or make James submit just like
James, Owen, Alistaire, and even Sienna and Syren did, regardless of the
controversy. I refuse to see that title change hands on a screwjob.”
Chris:
“Too late. We’re just fixing the mess SCW allowed.”
Chris
turns to Xiomara.
Chris:
“Come on.”
Chris
and Xiomara step out of the office as the scene fades out.
“The Old Me” by Memphis May
Fire plays in the background as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A
shot of David Helms, Owen Cruze & Blake Mason vs. Infamous follows.
Sharper: “This should be a
hell of a match. Helms, Cruze and Mason, Mason making his return to the ring in
SCW, facing Infamous in six person tag action. That match, it’s here, and it’s
next, on Breakdown!”
The scene fades to black.

Katie
Steward can be seen in one of the hallways smiling, the camera filming from
down the hall. TJ Johnson, Gigi Steward and Maddy Steward are with her.
Katie:
“So just …I can’t believe we didn’t think of this sooner. Helping the less
fortunate and giving them something.
TJ:
“So how are we helping Konrad with this?”
Katie:
“Please…he’s going to come home, realize nothing is going on. I’m such a great
actress. I should have gotten that spot on Grey’s Anatomy.”
Katie
sighs.
Katie:
“Now he’ll return, fired up and we can find someone else to go after him.”
Maddy:
“Well-“
Katie:
“We need to deputize one of you as our casting director. Yes! That will do it.”
The
scene cuts away.
Knots:
“Did they just set up Konrad?”
Sharper:
“I don’t believe it. Using his personal life in such a way. For what? A short
film? Something for Katie to play Hollywood with? Good lord!”
David Helms, Owen Cruze &
Blake Mason vs. Infamous (Syren, Ravyn Taylor & Christy Matthews)
There’s a loud click as the
lights around the building flick off and darkness consumes the arena, with
nothing but a few flashes from cameras in the crowd lighting the arena. The
lights return slowly and dimly in a crimson hue as a boos spread throughout the
arena, then without warning we see black and white footage spring to life on
the screen of Winston Churchill giving one of his most famous speeches, all the
while the chilling sound of air raid sirens and war can be heard in the
background...
"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We
shall fight in the fields, and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We
shall NEVER surrender!"
The video suddenly burns away to reveal a second hidden image of the devious
ex-president George H. W. Bush giving a speech of his own...
"When we are successful, and we will be, we'll have a real chance at this
new world order..."
“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to
erupt into a sea of boos as they know who is about to make their presence felt.
The curtains part as Ravyn Taylor walks out onto the stage with a ring jacket
on, followed by Christy Matthews with a red hood pulled up over her head and
Syren wearing her ring jacket. Christy stands in the middle of the stage with
her arms outstretched in a crucifix pose as Ravyn walks to the edge of the
stage, looking out over the sea of hatred from the fans. Syren just spins
around and points to the back of her ring jackets saying “Be Totally Jealous.”
The curtains part again as CHBK, Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe make
their way onto the stage, the Richter standing just a step behind Christy,
looking ready to see off any fans that get too close to her.
Philips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty
minute time limit. First, making their way to the ring, being accompanied by
CHBK, Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe, they are the team of the SCW
World Tag Team Champions, Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews, and the
self-proclaimed best female wrestler in the world, Syren, they are Infamous!”
Christy begins walking down to the ring, with Richter acting as her second.
Meanwhile, Ravyn smiles proudly as she and Alexander Crowe begin walking to the
ring. Syren is last with CHBK a few steps behind her. Christy climbs up the
outside of the ring apron and ascends the outside of the turnbuckles, extending
her arms again in the mock crucifix pose before pulling her hood down and
looking slowly around. Meanwhile, Crowe slides into the ring and sits on the
middle rope, lifting the top rope as well as Ravyn steps up the ring steps,
wiping her feet on the apron before stepping between the ropes. She gives Crowe
a kiss, to more boos from the crowd, before stepping up onto the turnbuckles on
the opposite side of the ring as Christy and removing her jacket slowly,
tossing it to her husband before looking down at herself admiringly. Syren
enters the ring and walks over to the middle of the ring and poses. Christy
vaults into the ring while Ravyn steps down and the three gather in the corner,
with Christy handing off her cloak to Richter, who stands in the corner as
protection while Christy crouches down beside Ravyn, who sits in the corner
with a smirk on her face. CHBK walks around as Syren takes off her ring jacket
too.
Sharper: “Infamous about to be
in action after the action they took last week. Or should I say, Syren. Syren
attacking Owen Cruze with CHBK and Alexander Crowe. Christy Matthews helping.
All while Ravyn Taylor was in the ring, preparing to face Peyton Rice.”
Knots: “Yeah, but now they
have to deal with the after-effects now. And with a lot of history and a lot of
angry people.”
The lights straight to flicker
in the arena as “The show must go on” the SCW / Maserati Remix kicks in over
the PA system, the opening beats bringing a huge cheer from the fans
“Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?”
Owen steps out onto the stage to an even louder outpouring of noise, looking
left and right at the fans and nodding in acknowledgment of their support.
Phillips: “Their opponents, first, from Los Angeles, California, he is Owen
Cruze!”
He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts
behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking down the ramp, only focussed
on the ring. Owen slides into the ring, and climbs a turnbuckle, raising his
arm as his music fades, and he jumps backwards into the ring. He then backs up
and watches Infamous who all eye him up.
Sharper: “Owen Cruze going
right into the lion’s den.”
Knots: “I don’t know if that’s
stupid or ballsy. But he’s not going to be intimidated by Infamous.”
The lights go out. A few
moments later, a white spotlight shines at the top of the ramp. In that
spotlight we see a man wearing a robe that "Blake Mason Experience"
embroidered in white. The lights to the rest of the arena come back on, the
chorus to “G.O.A.T.” echoes through the loud speaker. Blake Mason still
has his back turned to the camera. Standing behind him is Jaxson Sullivan,
wearing a suit, looking like he is ready to knock someone’s head
off. Blake heads to the ring at a methodical pace.
Phillips: “Next, accompanied
by Jaxson Sullivan, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”
Reaching the steel steps, he
walks up them, on to the apron, steps into the ring. Jaxson isn't too far
behind. They reach the center of the ring. Blake turns his back to the main
camera. He takes off his robe, hands it to Jaxson. Blake is shown to be wearing
black leather pants like wrestling tights. He walks over to the nearest corner.
By then, Jaxson is now standing outside the ring, keeping an eye on his
surroundings. Richter watches him.
Sharper: “Already a lot of
presence out here. Sullivan on the side of Cruze, Mason and in a moment,
Helms.”
Knots: “Just think, Owen gets
to team with his future father in law! Engaged to Taylor Chase-Cruze.”
Sharper: “This will be a
unique match to say the least. And David Helms there, with Owen’s history with
Regan in the mind, never mind his history with Syren and Infamous…”
The arena's lights cut and the
room falls into complete darkness as a buzz spreads through the crowd, the
screens suddenly lighting up with one single solitary word...
"BANG!"
As the crowd react, the entire stage lights up with a brilliant white light and
the opening riff of an SCW remixed version of "All I Want" by A Day
To Remember hits the pa system. The crowd erupt into cheers again as they spot
the silhouette of David Helms standing there, his arms held aloft and his hands
throwing the Self High Five, all framed by the brilliant white light behind
him.
“ALL I WANT IS A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
TO MEND THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO FEELS ALONE
WOAH; YOU KNOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH
BUT YOU HEAD DOWN LOW!”
The intro gives way to the chorus and the lyrics of said chorus flash up on the
screen as Helms suddenly jumps into the air and breaks his hands apart,
pyrotechnics exploding on either side of the stage as he lands and the house
lights raise again. Helms grins at the fans, soaking up the cheers before suddenly
bolting towards the ring.
Phillips: "Finally, from Red Bank, New Jersey but now fighting out of the
Hollywood Hills, he is David Helms!”
Reaching the ring, Helms jumps up and slides under the bottom rope feet first
before jumping straight back to his feet and climbing straight to the middle
rope of the nearest ring post. He throws his hands up into the Self High Five
to another cheer before hopping down and walking towards the closest camera on
the outside. He throws his hands into the Self High Five to the camera so that
his face is framed by the gap in the middle of his hands. Grinning, he mouths
the word "Bang!" into the camera before turning and settling back
into the corner to another cheer from the fans. Syren looks at him as David
backs up and turns to Owen and then to Blake. They all chat while Infamous gets
ready to start with Christy starting off for them. David Helms stays in for his
team.
Sharper: “David Helms coming
out alone. None of his fellow Handsome Devils’ Club members.”
Knots: “Likely not wanting to
draw Xander Valentine into this. Don’t blame him.”
Sharper: “But Regan Street may
damn well be watching. She and Selena, along with David’s best friend, Tommy
Valentine and Kandis will both challenge Infamous at Retribution for their
World Tag Team Championship!”
Helms and Matthews circle as
Helms watches Infamous briefly and the two lock up in the middle of the ring
and Helms turns into an arm wrench. Christy winces and Helms wrenches the arm
again. Christy somersaults forward and nips up and wrenches the arm of Helms.
Helms flips over and Christy goes to grab him, but Helms pushes off with his
feet. Christy rolls over and both get up only for Christy to lunge and Helms to
snap her over with a side headlock takedown into a pin. Christy headscissors
him and Helms nips out. Both get up and Helms locks up with Christy and pushes
her back into the neutral corner. The crowd applauds as the referee counts.

Helms backs up, clean break for
him, but Christy then looks at him and swings. Helms ducks and Christy staggers
forward and Helms chops her down. Christy hits the mat and gets up and Helms
grabs her and moves her over to the corner tagging in Owen. Helms wrenches the
arm and Owen climbs to the top rope and hits a double axe handle smash to the
shoulder.
Sharper: “Cruze now in the
match. Entering in with a sledge to the shoulder of Christy Matthews.”
Knots: “And Cruze, Helms and
Mason, coming together with their dislike of Infamous and early on, looking
good.”
Owen then wrenches the arm of
Christy. He pushes her into the ropes and fires her off. Christy bounces off
and Cruze jumps up and hits a dropkick. He turns and goes for he pin.

one arm and Syren clubs him in the back over and over. The crowd boos.
Sharper: “Look at this.
Infamous again, just mugging Owen Cruze. Attacking him, by holding him down.”

while Syren just hammers away.”
Owen covers up as Helms points
across. The official counts.

the middle rope and then jumps up and hits the Twisted Desire. The crowd ohs
and Ravyn goes for the pin.

Blake enters, but Owen gets
his shoulder up. Ravyn turns as Syren exits.
Sharper: “Dark Fantasy
reminding us of how devastating they can be. Twisted Desire, only gets two.”

Ravyn pulls Owen out and slams
his arm against the mat. Owen winces and Ravyn stomps him in the face. Owen
rolls over. Ravyn grabs him and places him on the middle rope. She then steps

as the crowd roars. Owen gets up and Christy enters and Owen ducks a
clothesline before jumping up and hitting a dropkick. He then rolls forward and
tags in David Helms. David enters and runs into the ropes, bouncing off and
dives through the ropes into Ravyn Taylor. Syren looks on annoyed.
Sharper: “David Helms enters
with a huge moment as Owen was able to catch RavynI”
Knots: “Ravyn quickly finding
out that Owen and David came ready to outplay her!”
Sharper: “And Blake Mason
looks on. Syren also looking on. She’s not quite pleased for obvious reasons!”
David rolls over and gets up.
(1) Christy rolls to the floor as Helms grabs Ravyn. (2) He rolls her into the

distracted, Ravyn shoves him off. Helms hits the mat. The crowd ohs. Ravyn then
dives off and hits a double stomp and rolls through.
Sharper: “Helms had Ravyn set
up. Something got his attention.”
Knots: “Get a camera out there

The camera cuts to where presumably
Helms was looking. The camera scans for a moment before back in the ring, Ravyn
goes for the pin.

Helms gets his shoulder up.
Ravyn grabs him and drags him up before hitting a Russian leg sweep. She rolls

here. They used to date.”
Knots: “Yeah and he traded up
for Regan Street!”
Sharper: “And I assume you can
read all about it in Chapter One, Syren’s new book, coming out later this
month!”
Syren just looks Helms before
stomping away on him furiously, over and over and over. The crowd boos. Helms

Wonderland! Adams and Ames!”
Knots: “I told him to look

Knots; “Owen’s definitely
noticing this!”
Blake then turns and runs
across the ring. He bounces off before Crowe and CHBK pull Syren to the floor. The
crowd boos. Blake looks around before we see Owen Cruze walk along the apron.
The crowd roars, but CHBK notices this and he and Crowe move Syren around. Owen
watches as Blake turns and nods. Owen walks back to his corner and Blake turns
as the official tells Syren to get into the ring. But as he does this, Blake
turns as Christy enters the ring. Blake runs over to her, but Ravyn enters and
runs up behind Blake and forearms him in the back and then again. Christy
slides in as Ravyn nails him over and over. Christy starts to work on him and
at this point, Syren slides into the ring. Owen enters as Ravyn turns and nails
the official. The crowd boos loudly. Blake covers up as Matthews and Taylor
keep working him over. Owen runs over and catches Syren with a forearm. CHBK
and Crowe enter as Owen stomps CHBK as he gets in and then nails Crowe with a
shot before going over to Ravyn, but as he does, Christy leaves Blake who rolls
over and Christy nails Owen with a hard right and then another. The bell sounds
as the official disqualifies Infamous.
Sharper: “And this just broken
down. The official calling for the bell.”
Knots: “Ravyn just blasted him
and this is just another attack on Owen. You heard Syren earlier! This is all
personal for her. She’s trying to tie everything together and is blaming Owen!”
Owen fights back and shoves
Christy up and then kicks Ravyn before Syren nails him with a hard forearm and
then another. Crowe enters and pushes Owen into the corner. Owen keeps
fighting, throwing right hands where he can, but Syren catches him in the jaw
with a couple more shots as the crowd boos. The bell sounds again. Blake
meanwhile can be seen pulling something out from his wrist tape. He then wraps
it around his wrist. The crowd roars.
Sharper: “Owen trying to fight
off all of Infamous!”
Knots: “Blake has a plan! He’s
got some backup!”
Sharper: “So does Owen! Look
at the entrance way!”
The crowd erupts in cheers as
we see Alistaire Allocco and Peyton Rice running down from the back. They head
down with Aaron Blackbourne right behind and Kelcey Wallace coming out too. The
crowd erupts in cheers. Blake starts to get up and he sees everyone as
Alistaire slides into the ring. Peyton right after them and Ravyn turns and
goes after Peyton as Alistaire catches Christy with a shot. Blackbourne slides
in as Syren gets a few more shots in on Owen. CHBK holds him back as Alistaire
suplexes Christy over as Peyton kicks Ravyn and Peyton goes to whip her into
the ropes, but Ravyn spins through. She sends Peyton in, but Ravyn jumps up for
the Evolutionary Synthesis, but Peyton blocks it and throws her back.
Sharper: “Peyton counters
Ravyn!”
Knots: “Christy just got
launched!”
Ravyn lands on her feet and
falls to the ropes as Peyton runs at her and clotheslines her over the top
rope. The crowd roars as Christy rolls out. Blackbourne turns to Syren and
pulls her off. Syren looks at him and goes for a hard right. Blackbourne blocks
it and then hits a pump knee. Syren falls to the mat and rolls out. CHBK drops
down as Crowe nails Blackbourne with a shot and then another before he backs up
and swings as Kelcey enters the ring. Blackbourne then ducks the final shot as
Crowe stumbles forward, and Allocco grabs him and throws him out of the ring.
Blake looks at the ring as Infamous resettles at the entrance way. Blake rolls
to the floor, backing away a bit as Kelcey looks around and points to everyone
in the ring. The crowd cheers. Owen gets up and steps forward, looking at
Syren.
Sharper: “Look at this mass of
talent in the ring. Kelcey Wallace standing among them. Allocco, Rice,
Blackbourne and Cruze! Standing up to Infamous.”
Knots: “Don’t forget Blake
Mason! He’s gone to the floor though!”
Sharper: “He’s backed away. I
guess giving them their moment! But Infamous planned to take out Cruze and this
week, they were ready!”
The crowd cheers as Owen
continues to look at Syren. Syren looks around, annoyed, listening to the crowd
before pointing at him.
Syren: “All with you! All
because of you!”
Syren is stopped by CHBK and
Crowe. Ravyn and Christy demand their Tag Titles as the official reluctantly
obliges. The crowd continues to cheer the group in the ring as we then cut
away.
COMMERCIALS
Breakdown returns as we see
David Helms grabbing Cain Adams and throwing him into a concrete wall backstage
as officials are around him. We then see Alice Ames jumping onto the back of
David as he tries to fight her off and grabs at her by the head as she is then
seen not to be just on his back, but strangling him with a chain. The crowd
roars as Helms struggles before Jason Helms runs into the scene and grabs Ames
by the hand and Ames stops and backs away.
Jason: “Now now…we don’t
choke! That’s not nice!”
David turns to him.
David: “Took ya long enough!”
Just then, Cain grabs David
and pulls him back and throws him into the wall. Jason grabs Cain and stops
him. Cain turns and stops.
Jason: “Come on throw a punch.
I know I’m scary! But-“
Just then, we see the
cameraman knocked over as Jason yells out and falls over. We then see the
cameraman scramble to get up as we see Giovanni Aries standing over him with a
cane in his hand. He then slams it into the back of Jason.
Giovanni: “You had to side
with your blood when you should have thought about your original alliance!”
Jason: “The hell-“
Giovanni nails him again.
Giovanni: “You worked with the
Judas to earn power…now you’ve corrupted your brother!”
Giovanni then turns as David
lunges and Giovanni nails him in the ribs as officials try to move in again to
break things up. We then see Lucas Knight arriving on the scene. Giovanni turns
and points to him as Cain Adams turns and heads over. Alice Ames too. Officials
quickly stop them from moving forward as Lucas starts to get ready to fight.
Giovanni then leans over David, saying something to him again before pushing
back. Officials try to grab him.
Giovanni: “Get your hands off
me your lizard pawns!”
Giovanni backs away.
Giovanni: “I’m far from dead!”
Giovanni lets out a cackle as
Cain and Alice are backed up by the officials and others check on David and
Jason before we cut away.
Backstage, we see Infamous
walking backstage. The crowd boos.
Syren: “Now they all decide to
grow a set. Have to attack us from behind! Let’s see what they do at
Retribution. What Owen does at Retribution!”
Ravyn: “Gives some challenge
at least. Now we know we have to deal with the four, five if we take Kelcey’s
withered state, at the same time. May make this interesting.”
Syren: “I don’t care about
interesting, Ravyn. I care about kicking Owen’s ass!”
CHBK: “And it will happen. One
on one, he can’t take you.”
Syren: “Damn right.”
Christopher Richter, who
didn’t get involved in the fight earlier, is back at the locker room and opens
it. He then steps in.
Richter: “What the hell are
you doing?!”
The camera turns to peer in to
show the Infamous locker room ransacked as Damian Angel looks in the ring.
Damian: “Where is her title?!”
Richter lunges and Damian
reaches up and rakes his eyes before seeing Ravyn and CHBK. He lunges and goes
for them as Ravyn backs up and Christy nails him in the back. Damian however
falls over and grabs CHBK.
Damian: “Where did you hide
it? Only taking it because of me. You could never beat me!”
Syren immediately stomps him
in the back and Damian collapses to the concrete as Infamous starts to as a
group just stomp away on him over and over. The crowd boos as Damian Angel covers
up. Syren gets a few extra shots in before backing up.
Ravyn: “Come on…let him rot
out here.”
Ravyn pulls Syren into the
locker room as Christy follows with Crowe and Richter. CHBK looks at Damian.
CHBK: “It must pain you to see
that I still have more influence now than you’d ever imagine.”
CHBK steps over him as Damian
reaches out weakly. CHBK slams the door behind him. The camera focuses on
Damian for a moment longer before the scene changes again.
Sharper: “Damian Angel was in
the Infamous locker room…he was looking for the TV Title I assume.”
Knots: “He’s not the champion
though!”
Sharper: “There’s something
that has changed in Damian Angel! Jessica…you’ll be with everyone we just saw
came up against Infamous. Do they know?”
The scene opens up backstage
to see Jessica Winters standing alongside Owen Cruze, Kelcey Wallace, Peyton
Rice, Alistaire Allocco and Aaron Blackbourne.
Jessica: “Thanks Adam. I am
here with a wealth of talent. Kelcey Wallace standing with this group, this
group of friends and allies, Owen Cruze, Peyton Rice, Alistaire Allocco and
Aaron Blackbourne. All coming out to help Owen and Blake Mason in that match
against Infamous. First off, Peyton, we need to quickly talk to you. Damian
Angel was just attacked in the Infamous locker room. He had ransacked it-“
Peyton looks down. She turns
to Alistaire and then Kelcey.
Jessica: “Did you even know?
Did-“
Peyton: “No…and…”
Alistaire: “We don’t
appreciate the efforts that’s he’s gone. The loyalty he has for Peyton has gone
on long enough and this needs to end.”
Jessica: “Peyton, anything you
want to add?”
Peyton: “No…just…I’m happy
that Kelsai Adamson-Mason is the TV Champion. She is a champion we can be proud
of. And for Damian…I just hope he gets the help he needs.”
Jessica: “Alright, Owen,
Kelcey…you took the fight to Syren and Infamous. First off Owen, David Helms
leaving-“
Owen: “He knew he had an issue
to deal with. I heard some of the commotion. I just hope that it wasn’t a
trap.”
Jessica: “Unfortunately it
was. The Wonderland was going for the Helms boys.”
Owen sighs.
Owen: “This is why we’ve done
this. Coming together. Making sure we’re not watching each other. After last
week, we saw the ambush and while we arrived to keep things from getting too
far, the fact is that it’s becoming more and more common. So many people who
not only believe they’re owed something, but coming up with every reason to
justify their terrible tactics. Syren attacking me for what? Because she blames
me for her downfall. How about you look in the mirror. You had your opportunity
for revenge against James Evans. I don’t condone what he did, but you had your
revenge. And instead, you attacked him trying to get to face him at
Retribution. You knew damn well Sienna would do what she did.”
Jessica: “Your comment on her
getting her rematch.”
Owen sighs. Kelcey bristles a
bit at this point.
Owen: “I’ve said it time and
time again, she should’ve gotten her rematch, but this…even if she’s allowed it
by the Trios Tournament contract, the fact that she feels she was wronged, in a
match that frankly, was what it was. A challenge. To then set the deck against
James Evans…she’s no champion if she wins. If Chris wins. They’re just more of
what everyone feels they are…frauds.”
The crowd roars.
Kelcey: “Fair assessment from
where I stand.”
The crowd cheers some more as
Jessica turns to Alistaire.
Jessica: “And Alistaire, you
got involved-“
Alistaire noticeably looking
off camera, not to the camera.
Alistaire: “I’m sorry Jessica.
But I need to do this. Could the cameraman please come with me?”
The cameraman follows as
Alistaire starts to walk down the hallway.
Sharper: “Where is Alistaire
going?”
Knots: “Maybe saw his father.
Going to nip that in the bud?”
The camera keeps following as
the crowd roars as we see Blake Mason turning to him, clearly noticing
Alistaire coming to him. Alistaire walks up to him.
Blake: “Alistaire, coming to have
a chat?”
Alistaire: “I’m just happy to
left the ring.”
Blake: “Why’s that?”
Alistaire: “I saw the chain.
You’re just like them. I saw the eye gouges. The shortcuts.”
Blake: “I did what I needed to
do. It was two on three. I’m not going to just go down for principle.”
Alistaire: “That’s why I’m a
better man than you.”
Blake nods.
Blake: “Good to see you continuing
to step up even in the face of adversity. Maybe we should test it. A little
wager.”
Alistaire: “I don’t gamble.”
Blake: “I don’t mean that way.
I mean that you and I face each other at Retribution. I’ll flat out say I am
going to take shortcuts. I’ll fight dirty. You can fight clean.”
Alistaire: “Would be the case
anyway? How is this a wager?”
Blake: “Easy…you beat me. I’ll
make sure your father and Damian Angel are no longer an issue for you and
Peyton. You both have a bright career. You don’t need to worry about all of
that noise. I’ll make me their targets. But if I win…this is what? Two big
matches in a row…Look at Aaron. Caught last week. Whatever happened to Shilo
Valiant too? Maybe you all start to get the reality check you need to really
face people like Infamous.”
Blake then stops and looks at
his hand. He grabs Alistaire’s hand and places the chain he had in it.
Blake: “Think about it.”
Blake then turns and heads off
as Alistaire looks at the chain in his hand as the scene slowly fades out.
Bree
Lancaster is in her locker room as Jordan Majors is also in the Beauty Factory
room. We see Sienna Swann stepping forward in her gear. Bree then warps her arm
around Jordan.
Bree:
“Well Jordan, you can watch the glory of tonight from this room all night long.
I’ll make sure to come back, let you know of any weaknesses for Marie. Maybe
I’ll even give you a few to look out for.”
Jordan:
“Ah…thanks. But focus on winning. I know you’re sending a message to Kim.”
Bree:
“And I can do both. I am that good.”
Sienna:
“Plus, Jordan….I mean, you can benefit nicely from this all. It’s a good
opportunity for you to set yourself apart. Bree takes apart Marie. I humiliate
Asher. I mean Jordan…this is where you could prove you should be alongside us.”
Jordan
turns from Sienna briefly as Bree just smiles, ignoring the perceived slight.
Bree:
“Relax. She’s just messing with you. More that you should’ve had this
opportunity months ago. Now you can focus on yourself instead of whatever else
you were and we’re going to make sure you get what you deserve. Just like
Sienna and I getting our gold back at Retribution. You can join us in the
champion’s club.”
Jordan:
“Sounds good. Good luck out there.”
Bree
smirks and walks off. She leaves the locker room as Jordan watches her before
Sienna stands next to her.
Sienna:
“I do hope you realize the opportunity you have. We are the best. Bree says you
can be there. Here it is on a silver platter.”
Jordan
turns to Sienna as Sienna turns and heads off, smiling.
Jordan:
“Ah…thanks…”
Jordan
turns back and moves to the couch in the room as the scene cuts to black.

Bree Lancaster vs. Marie Jones
The lights dim as a voice
backed by piano music fill the arena.
{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache, cast away
Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}
As the heavy music of Imagine Dragons kicks in the lights come back up and Bree
Lancaster is standing on the stage, her arms spread wide. Bree looks up as
white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott
Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily.
Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and
being accompanied by Scott Burnside..., Bree Lancaster!"
The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree
holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott
goes up ahead of her. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to
step through. He goes to the apron as Bree walks to the center of the ring,
turning as she does. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before
going to the corner. She and Scott talk as her music fades.
Sharper: “Bree Lancaster appearing to be in a somewhat better mood than last
week as she enters the ring.”
Knots: “That's probably because she has evil plans for her opponent. Bree
smiling isn't from happiness, it's from impending mayhem!”
"You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake”
Phillips: “And her opponent...”
“Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold"
Phillips: “From Boston, Massachusetts.... she is The Phoenix, Marie Jones!”
A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then
Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her
signature black leather jacket. A broad grin is on her face as she gaze out at
the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking
at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of
"Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie
begins to make her way down towards the ring. Marie stops to slap a few high
fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely
on the ring. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy
pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the
ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and
holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd. She
then hops down as her music fades out.
Sharper: “Interesting matchup here tonight, a week and change away from
Retribution. Bree Lancaster will be facing Marie Jones' sister Kimberly
Williams in a rematch for the United States Championship, while Marie is
involved in a triple threat match that Bree's friend Jordan Majors is also in,
both challenging Asher Hayes for the Adrenaline Championship.”
Knots: “A win here for either woman would be a good start heading into this
weekend, and both of these women know it.”
Scott Burnside gets off the apron and the bell rings. Bree smirks and then runs
at Marie, hitting her with a forearm before Marie can block. She goes for
another but Marie evades, then runs the ropes. She comes at Bree with a forearm
but Bree ducks. Both spin around and Bree greets Marie with a BOGO. Marie steps
back. Bree grabs Marie and sends her into the corner. She follows and drives
her knee into Marie's ribs. The crowd oohs. Bree goes for another knee, but
Marie gets her leg up blocking it. She then kicks Bree in the stomach, forcing
Bree back a few steps. Marie comes out of the corner and hits Bree with a
spinning heel kick. Bree goes down, but gets right back up. Marie grabs her and
sends her into the ropes. Marie jumps for a dropkick but Bree grabs the top
rope and stops herself. Marie hits the mat. Bree smirks as Marie gets to her
feet. They glare at each other across the ring. The crowd oohs.
Sharper: “Fast paced start here and counters aplenty, neither woman able to get
the fast upperhand.”
Knots: “Bree starting early attacking Marie's ribs, already thinking about a
Classifier.”
Both women step to the center of the ring, and enter a lock up. They struggle a
few seconds, then Bree gets the better of the situation, switching to a rear
hold then applying an abdominal stretch. Marie fights but Bree applies more
pressure for a few seconds, before letting go to drive her elbow into Marie's
ribs. Marie wraps her arms around herself as Bree shoves her away. Bree then
runs the ropes then drops Marie with a running bulldog. She makes a cover.
1!
Marie kicks out. Bree springs to her feet and Marie gets up, still holding her
ribs. Bree grabs her and tries to send her into the ropes again but Marie
counters and Bree goes into the corner. Marie nails a dropkick into the corner,
driving Bree into the turnbuckles. The crowd oohs. Marie gets up, and pulls
Bree out of the corner, then plants her with a double underhook DDT. She
covers.
1!
2!
Bree kicks out.
Sharper: “Marie with a slight edge now, got a two-count there when Bree only
held her down for one.”
Knots: “That might be all it takes to get into Bree's head, especially after
the mindgames last week by Kim.”
Marie gets up and pulls Bree up. Bree pushes her off though and fires off a
slap across Marie's face that can only be described as a bitch-slap. The crowd
boos as Marie's head snaps sideways. When she looks back at Bree, holding her
face, it's with a glare. Bree smirks in return. Marie charges at Bree and nails
her with a hard right, then a forearm, followed by an elbow. Bree steps back
trying to evade but just traps herself in a corner. Marie grabs the ropes and
drives her knee into Bree's ribs over and over. The crowd roars. The official
comes over and warns Marie to back out of the corner. Marie lets go of the
ropes and backs up. Bree leans over holding her ribs. The official goes over to
check on her, as does Scott, but Scott stays on the floor. Bree nods and Scott
backs away. Bree then speaks to the official, who backs off, but Bree steps out
of the corner still holding herself.
Sharper: “Marie teeing off on Bree in the corner after that disrespectful slap
across the face and our official making sure Bree can continue. She appears to
have said yes, but she's favoring those ribs.”
Knots: “Don't trust that woman! She's fine.”
Bree takes a step, then winces, holding herself tighter. The official steps
forward again, but Bree holds him off. We can see her say “I'm good!” but the
camera's mic doesn't pick up the words. The official seems skeptical, but nods
and backs away. Bree turns her attention to Marie, waving her to bring it.
Marie seems hesitant, but steps forward. They lock up and Bree immediately
spins Marie around and tries to send her into the corner, but let's go of
Marie's arm mid-spin, grabbing at her own ribs again.
Knots: “Wow... that's not like Bree at all, maybe she really is hurt.”
Sharper: “And Marie now concerned, as is our official. Scott Burnside now on
the apron as well.”
Marie approaches cautiously as the official speaks to Bree again. She nods, but
with a grimace on her face. Bree then looks past the official towards Scott,
and nods her head towards the floor. Scott hops down and backs away from the
ring. Bree turns back to Marie who still appears concerned. Bree waves the
official off, who again backs away. Marie steps up and puts a hand on Bree's
shoulder, asking if she's sure she can go on. Bree glares, rights herself as
she shoves Marie's hand off, then in one fluid motion takes a step back before
spinning and drilling Marie with a spinning backfist! The crowd boos.
Sharper: “Bree Lancaster with the fake! Rocking Marie Jones with that spinning
fist!”
Knots: “I knew it! I said don't trust her!”
Marie stumbles backwards, but Bree grabs her arm and slings her across the
ring. She bounces off the ropes, near where Scott was standing. On the return
Bree plants a Priceless into Marie's ribs. The crowd oohs then boos as Marie
goes down. Bree makes a cover.
1!
2!
Marie gets her shoulder up. Bree hits the mat with her fist in anger. Marie
rolls away as Bree gets up. She drops a knee into Marie's ribs. Marie yells in
pain. Bree lands another knee drop. Marie rolls to her side. Bree smirks, and
walks around the ring a bit looking down at her handiwork. She then pushes
Marie back to her back with one foot before going for another knee drop.... but
Marie rolls out of the way. Bree hits the mat with her knee. The crowd roars.
Bree sits and holds her knee. Marie gets up and drives her knee into Bree's
head. Bree goes down sideways. Marie springs off the middle rope and lands
Divine Impact. The crowd cheers as she makes a cover.
1!
2!
Bree kicks out. The crowd oohs.
Sharper: “A rare miscue by Bree Lancaster as Marie Jones avoided the knee drop
and it almost cost Bree this match.”
Knots: “That's what happens when you get too cocky, too vain. Bree showing off
gave Marie time to recover.”
Bree rolls away and to the ropes. Marie gets up as Bree pulls herself up. Marie
goes up to Bree and grabs her, but Bree holds on to the ropes, preventing
whatever Marie was attempting. Undaunted, Marie falls back and nails Bree with
a Pele kick. Bree falls back to the mat. Marie grabs her legs and drags her to
the middle of the ring, then tries to flip Bree over.
Sharper: “Marie Jones going for an Angel's Arch!”
Knots: “Well she was....”
Bree kicks hard with both legs and shoves Marie backwards. Marie stumbles and
lands on her ass. The crowd oohs. Bree gets to her feet and gives Marie one
hard kick to the ribs for good measure before going to the corner and up to the
second rope. Without any hesitation she flies and lands a moonsault. She makes
a cover.
1!
2!
Marie gets her shoulder up.
Sharper: “Bree had all of that moonsault but Marie staying in this.”
Knots: “And Bree isn't happy about it!”
Bree gets up and starts just stomping at Marie, hitting her ribs, legs, arm,
anything she can get her boot on. All Marie can do is cover up the best she can
as the crowd boos. The official comes over and pushes Bree back. She holds her
hands up and backs away. Marie stirs and starts to get up. The official checks
on her, Marie nods. He backs away as Marie gets up to a knee. Bree starts to
get at her but the official holds her back, to allow Marie to get vertical. She
does, and the crowd cheers as the official steps back. Marie charges at Bree
and they exchange a flurry of lefts and rights. The crowd roars. Bree blocks
one of Marie's strikes and grabs her arm, sending her into the ropes. On the
return Bree hits a spinning backfist and Marie flips over before hitting the
mat. The crowd oohs then boos.
Sharper: “The impact there! Marie just turned inside out!”
Knots: “Bree seems to be hitting harder as this match goes on rather than
showing any signs of being winded.”
Marie starts to stir as Bree leans on the ropes, smirking at the damage she's
caused. She then turns and around and grabs Marie. She drags her up, but
suddenly, Marie rolls her up with an inside cradle!
1!
2!
Bree kicks out. Both get up
and Marie nails her with a superkick. The crowd roars as Bree hits the mat.
Marie looks around as Bree rolls over, holding her jaw. Marie then watches her
as she staggers up and Marie runs past her, umps to the middle ropes and dives
back for a moonsault into a reverse DDT. She connects and turns and geos for
the pni.
1!
2!
Bree shoots her shoulder up.
Marie rolls over and starts to get up. Bree pulls herself up and moves to the
ropes. Marie runs at her and goes for an Okana roll. Marie pulls Bree back.

and keeps pulling.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd boos and Bree rolls
over and out of the ring.
Phillips: “Here is your
winner, via pinfall, Bree Lancaster!”
The crowd boos some more as
Bree holds her arm up and then spins around, turning to the entrance way. She
then smirks as Burnside comes over and raises her arm again. Marie rolls over
and looks at Bree. Bree motions for the title before turning and heading toward
the back.
Sharper: “Bree Lancaster
defeating Marie Jones here tonight.”
Knots: “Then had a moment
realizing Kim could come from behind. No Kim tonight. Or so it seems, but Bree
just pinned her twin sister!”
Sharper: “The chess match
between these two continues as we head into Retribution in eleven days!”
Bree smiles as she heads to
the back, holding her arm up, triumphantly as the scene cuts away.
Sasha
can be seen standing with Ravyn Taylor outside of the Infamous locker room.
Sasha:
“I’m not joking here, Ravyn.”
Ravyn:
“Neither am I. I mean we had someone calling themselves the Devil going through
our things.”
Sasha:
“And I plan to deal with that. But right now, my focus is on retrieving
property that is not yours and unlike Damian, if I wanted to, I could have
security go through your things.”
Ravyn:
“But you’re not. How kind. Though I assume it’s because you realize we may not
have it here.”
Sasha:
“Hence why I’m talking to you.”
Ravyn:
“That’s a shame. It’s not here at all. But then again, I mean it’s whose now?
Kelsai Adamson Mason? Well, tell her, I will personally hand it to her next
week before her match.”
Sasha:
“And attack her?”
Ravyn:
“No attack. Just merely going to do what is right.”
Sasha:
“Then I will do what is right and have security present too. But if it’s what
deals with this, you show up next week, prove you have the title to me, and I
won’t be choosing to make you an example too.”
Ravyn:
“Again…how kind.”
Sasha
turns and heads off as Ravyn smirks.
Sharper:
“What is she planning?”
Knots:
“Anything and everything.”
The
scene cuts away.

Jordan
Majors can be seen walking out of the locker room of the Beauty Factory. She runs
her hands through her hair as she looks down and takes a few steps. She’s
stopped by a female voice.
???:
“You okay?”
Jordan
stops and looks up, relieved. Jaina Lancaster walks over.
Jordan:
“Oh Jaina…just…a lot on my mind.”
Jaina:
“You’re letting it all get to you. Big title shot. Bree can be intense, but you
know she means well.”
Jordan:
“Not Bree…Sienna.”
Jaina:
“Yeah, but think of where she’s coming from.”
Jordan:
“I guess…”
Jordan
sighs.
Jordan:
“Just need to remind myself what I’ve been doing.”
???:
“Oh good. You’re out of the prison.”
Jordan
looks up as Jake Starr walks over.
Jordan:
“Oh Jake…”
Jaina:
“I’ll talk to you later.”
Jaina turns
and heads off as Jordan watches her leave, a bit saddened before turning back.
Jake:
“Was wondering how long you’d stay there. I mean I thought I was arrogance, but
you could smell it from here. Thinking you need help.”
Jordan:
“They mean well.”
Jake:
“You can be the judge of that, but I know you can handle yourself in there.
Against Asher and Marie…you’ve been earning everything the last couple of
months. You’ve been the hottest star. That’s on you, not them.”
Jordan:
“I guess. Just, if it fires them up to get to their level, I mean if everyone
is competing and kicking ass, all the best.”
Jake:
“It’s why I figured we needed a reset.”
Jordan:
“Oh no. What did you do?”
Jake:
“Well things have been tense. Figured we can just get you focused on what in
front of you, but also do things like we had. So I got us a tag match next
week.”
Jordan:
“Oh…uh…great. Against who?”
Jake:
“The Jackass and Big Ass Connection. They’re going to be looking to be on their
best game for the title match. Figured it could be a fun challenge. Plus, just
nice to focus on the match in the ring.”
Jordan:
“Oh great. I look forward to it. Better be. May have to come up with some fun
ways to prepare! Exculpatory Beavers for the win!”
Starr
pumps his fist and heads off as Jordan looks at him. She looks down and then
glances back to the locker room door of the Beauty Factory before taking a deep

Jay Gold vs. Xander Valentine
"Until The Day I
Die" plays as a golden hue comes over the arena. As soon as the loud crash
is heard a few measures in, Jay Gold appears on the stage. The crowd cheers.
Jay surveys the crowd with squinted eyes before beginning his walk down the
ramp to the ringside area.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a fifteen
minute time limit. Introducing first, from Albany, New York, he is Jay Gold!”
Once there, Jay stands up on the apron, and looks out and smiles. He steps into
the ring and once he's in the middle of his ring with his arms held up high,
golden pyro explodes out of all four turnbuckles as the crowd continues to
cheer Gold. Jay readies himself for the pending battle.
Sharper: “Jay Gold chose
Xander Valentine for his team. He said he wouldn’t take that back. But now, he
has to deal with Xander Valentine in the ring.”
Knots: “And that’s a different
issue. Jay Gold tried to stop Xander from destroying Gavin Taylor. Good luck,
Jay. You need to deal with Xander straight-up tonight.”
The feedback over the PA
system, as if a jack is plugged into an amplifier rips through the arena. While
the noise attracts the attention of the crowd, spotlights, one after another
shine down onto the stage. The familiar chords of "The Fade to
Black" crackles on the sound system as smoke begins to hover on the stage.
A shadow stands behind an illuminated curtain, by this point the crowd already
caught up in a frenzy. The song's interlude cuts shorts as the lyrics begin:
“Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free”
As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander bursts out behind
the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the
ramp. Boos starts to hail down on him, but there is some cheers beneath. Behind
him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As she stops and positions
herself behind Xander. As if she doesn't exist, he stares down at the
ring, regardless if occupied or vacant. A serious glare is painted across his
weathered face. He starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to
stare at the ring.
Phillips: “His opponent,
accompanied by Artemis, from Rochester, New York, he is Xander Valentine!”
The song begins to fade out at this point. Xander is at the bottom of the ring
steps. He stomps the bottom step several times before moving pass the
steps towards the side of the ring. In a single bound, Xander leaps up onto the
apron. He poses for a moment, stretching his shoulders as he continues to look
into the ring. He raises his arm high into his air, as to promise victory. He
garners another response from the crowd. Meanwhile Artemis has left his side,
instead moving towards the timekeeper to take the position of a watcher. She
stands there as if no one else exists but Xander and his opponent. Xander looks
over at Artemis for a moment, for the first time acknowledging her existence
before leaping over the top rope. He steps over to the corner and prepares for
the battle ahead.
Sharper: “Xander Valentine all
business. He is going to war.”
Knots: “As long as he stays
the hell away from me.”
Knots watches Artemis as she
sits several feet away from him. The bell sounds and Xander steps forward. Jay
watches him as Xander goes for a hard right, but Gold ducks. They both spin
around and Gold hits a dropkick to the chest. Xander staggers back. Gold gets
up and nails him with a hard right and then another before Xander shoves him
back. Gold rolls through. He gets up and runs back at Xander and jumps up and
nails him with a couple of shots before Xander shoves him off again. Gold gets
up and runs at Xander. Xander however scoops him up and slams him down. Gold
rolls over to the ropes and then to the corner. Xander follows up and goes for
a lunging back elbow, but Gold moves out of the way. Xander turns and Gold hits
a hard right and then another and another before Xander shoves him off again.
Sharper: “Gold is just staying
right on Xander. Hoping to wear him down.”
Knots: “Xander has the
strength, size, all that advantage. Gold is annoying and in a good way in this
one!”
Gold gets up and Xander steps
out and goes for a clothesline. Gold ducks and quickly climbs up to the middle
turnbuckle. Xander turns around and Gold hits a missile dropkick. The crowd
cheers. Gold goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Xander powers out. Gold rolls
through and gets up and Xander starts to get up and Gold runs over and kicks
him n the ribs. He grabs his head and goes for a DDT, but Xander hoists Gold up
and throws him forward, dropping him with a huge flapjack. Gold rolls over in
pain, holding his ribs as Xander walks over to him. He pulls him up and knees
him in the ribs. He then hits a hip throw, slamming Gold back to the mat.
Sharper: “And now Xander just
overpowering Gold!”
Knots: “Gavin Taylor has to love
this. This match was the idea of his agent and it could quickly pay off!”
Gold rolls over and moves to
the ropes. Xander clubs him in the back. Gold grimaces and falls over to the
corner. Xander follows up and hits a back elbow to the jaw. Gold winces and
Xander rears back and elbows him again. He then grabs him and whips him across
the ring. Gold hits the corner hard and staggers out only for Xander to drill
him with a running boot to the face. The crowd ohs. Xander goes for the pin.

Gold kicks out. Xander gets up
and pulls him up. He then scoops him up onto his shoulders and steps forward
and hits a snake eyes. Gold stumbles back and Xander walks over and kicks him
in the ribs. He then whips him into the ropes. Gold bounces off and Xander goes
for a clothesline. Gold ducks and bounces off the other side. Xander scoops him
up for a tilt-a-whirl slam but Gold spins through and grabs his head and
counters with a DDT!
Sharper: “Spiked Xander
Valentine with a DDT out of the tilt-a-whirl.”
Knots: “The guy still has it!”
Sharper: “Made sure to go for
the head and drive him down!”
Gold rolls over as the crowd
cheers. Gold starts to get up and Xander slowly gets up to his knee and Gold
runs over and dropkicks him in the face. Xander falls back. Gold turns and
exits to the apron. He climbs up to the top rope. He looks at Xander and dives
off with a huge splash. He connects and goes for the pin.

Gold rolls his shoulders up. Xander
rolls over and starts to get up, slowly as Gold holds his lower back and stirs.
Sharper: “A huge sidewalk
slam. Only a two, but the impact is clear!”
Knots: “Gold still feeling
that one! He’s lucky he didn’t fuse with the mat!”
Xander rolls over and grabs
Gold. He looks at him and drags him up. He shakes his head and rears back for a
hard right, but Gold ducks under and jumps to the middle rope. She dives back
with a springboard missile dropkick. Xander staggers back. Gold then turns and
runs into the adjacent set of ropes, bouncing off and goes for a bulldog.
Xander rolls over. Gold goes for the pin.

Xander kicks out. Gold rolls
off. Xander slowly starts to get up and Gold walks over to him and grabs him by
the head. He sets up for the Golden Moment as the crowd roars, but Xander
suddenly lifts him up and throws him forward with an atomic whip. Gold lands
hard on his back and rolls over and gets up and Xander steps over him, pulling
him back with the Fade to Black. The crowd boos.
Sharper: “Xander just
outmuscling Gold! Right into the Fade to Black!”
Knots: “And putting himself
between Gold and the ropes. And that’s gotta be it.”
Gold reaches around as Xander
pulls back. The crowd keeps booing loudly as Gold starts to fade. The official
checks on him and then calls for the bell. The crowd boos as Xander holds it on
for a few moments longer. The referee tells him to let go and Xander dumps him
down. He then steps forward and looks around as Artemis watches.
Phillips: “Here is your winner,
via submission, Xander Valentine!”
Sharper: “Gold tried to fight,
but the hall of famer was just not enough for Valentine who causes him to
nearly pass out from the Fade to Black.”
Knots: “And next is Lucas
Knight. Think Gavin Taylor is happy. He got what he wanted.”
Sharper: “Gold had a reason
for revenge, but just not the case here. Xander went after him at Trios. At
least Jay answered the bell. Gavin…he’s still probably laughing about this. In
eleven days, he’ll need to deal with Jay Gold!”
Xander then walks over to the
ropes and steps through. He jumps down and looks around as the crowd boos.
Artemis joins him and he walks to the back with Xander.
Backstage,
we see Kelcey seated with Peyton in their locker room, talking before there’s a
knock at the door. A moment passes before Kelsai Adamson-Mason walks in with
Amy Chastaine.
Amy:
“Sorry to bother you, but she wanted to come by.”
Kelcey:
“Come in.”
Peyton:
“Kelsai, congratulations. Sorry the situation with Damian-“
Kelsai:
“Don’t worry about it. I may be a champion with a title belt but that will be
dealt with next week.”
Kelcey
and Amy look at one another.
Amy:
“I know…but she’s confident it will be taken care of. And I’m going to back her
in thatq.”
Peyton:
“Yeah well, still shouldn’t have happened.”
Kelsai:
“Just like you moping here shouldn’t have happened. Look, I know, things are
rough. But that’s part of the challenge. That means there’s something at stake
here. People want to be at the top. Because they know it’s important! And it’s
all the more reason to make sure we’re doing it the right way.”
Peyton:
“Are you going to say that to Blake? With what he’s trying to convince Ali of?”
Kelsai:
“I can disagree with him. And I’ll be sure to talk to him myself anyway! But
this…moping Peyton…I’m not okay with it. So that’s why I’m here.”
Peyton:
“To give me a smile. I’m sorry just…”
Kelsai:
“No…to challenge YOU to a match at Retribution. What? You going to fight
Damian. Let’s not give him the benefit of that. You need to face someone that
is going to remind you of what you wanted to do in this ring. And I remember
Rise to Greatness weekend. We went out there and had a classic. And that’s what
told me I should be here. The least I can do is remind you why YOU’RE here.”
Peyton
looks up at Kelsai as the crowd cheers.
Kelsai:
“So what do you say?”
Peyton
looks up and nods.
Peyton:
“You’re on.”
The crowd
cheers. Kelsai smiles.
Kelsai:
“See you at Retribution. Let’s tear the house down!”
The
crowd roars as the scene fades out.

Breakdown returns as Jaina
Lancaster can be seen standing with Gavin Taylor in the backstage area. Gavin
has a smile on his face.
Jaina: “Welcome back to
Breakdown. Jaina Lancaster here with Gavin Taylor. Moments ago, we saw Jay Gold
face Xander Valentine, a match you wanted to see, as a form of revenge. But
you’ve been smiling ever since you’ve come here.”
Gavin: “Of course I would be
smiling, Jaina. Jay Gold get what HE deserved. He put me in harm’s way by
having to team with that monster and now he can deal with the same thing I did.
The pure fear on my face when I thought Xander Valentine would have made it so
none of you could ever witness the All-Star in that ring again. But I’m a very
resilient man and now Gold, you know what you did to me. And in eleven days,
I’m going to not go with the theatrics. I’m just going to beat you in the
middle of the ring and righting the wrongs you’ve committed against me this
month and a half!”
Gavin smirks as the crowd boos
as Jaina looks at Gavin in disbelief.
Gavin: “And next week, you’ll
see exactly what I’m talking about when I face someone who has been waiting for
their opportunity to strike. That’s right. Sasha has given me my match. Next
week, I face the former World Tag Team Champion, Sammy Thomas Davies. That’s
right. The man who you ROBBED of the World Tag Team Championship back in 2004.
He’s looking for revenge and I’m going to give him the opportunity by facing
someone better than you and you can then quiver in fear as you go up against
the MVP of SCW, Gavin Taylor, at Retribution!”
Gavin smiles and heads off as
Jaina shakes her head and turns to the camera.
Jaina: “Back to the ring.”
The arena turns black. On the
screen, scenes of post-apocalyptic landscapes haunt the darkness. Over the
speakers, an eerie synth pad sets the mood as a deep, raspy voice begins
speaking:
“The car’s on fire, and
there’s no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand
lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows…
The government is corrupt and we’re on so many drugs with the radio on and the
curtains drawn. We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the
machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are
all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.
It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves. Mothers clutching
babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was
beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upward, everything washed in a
thin orange haze
I said ‘Kiss me. You’re beautiful. These are truly the last days. You grabbed
my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.”
“Dead Flag Blues” by Godspeed
You! Black Emperor plays as the crowd cheers. A chorus of strings play a
melancholic tune as a pale spotlight settles at the top of the ramp. There, it
falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight, dark jeans and a black hoodie. She
stops at the top of the ramp and stares out into the darkness of the crowd. She
heads down to the ring as the crowd focuses on her.
Sharper: “Last week, she said
she would be setting her sights on something. But what?”
Knots: “She’s always been
cryptic and it’s not like she doesn’t have the ability to get anyone’s
attention at will. Even just that she’s heading to the ring like this is
different from last time we saw her.”
Sharper: “It’s almost normal
and that’s a bit unsettling. No games. She was effectively silent before Trios
and now…eleven days before Retribution, she’s coming to the ring.”
Datura reaches the ring and
walks up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron before stepping into
the ring. She stops and looks around before going across the ring to the ring
apron, where a microphone waits for her. She takes it and walks back over to
the middle of the ring and sits down, cross-legged. She looks out at the crowd
as the music fades out. The crowd roars as Datura scans the crowd, listening to
the cheers. She remains just enjoying the reaction.
Knots: “Datura is just loving
this.”
Datura smirks as she tilts her
head to keep it a bit more.
Datura: “Always interesting to
hear the roar of the crowd here in SCW. I return to this ring and I’m greeted a
hero.”
Datura then holds a finger up.
Datura: “That is until I anger
one of the favourites. Did not care for what I did to Regan Street? Correct? Or
what about those few boos when I said Jordan Majors and Bree Lancaster were
fine competitors.”
Datura listens as some boos
come from the crowd.
Datura: “But then again, I
said something last week, something that was a bit of a lie. I said my options
were wide open. That was true. I mentioned a lust for gold. Not a lie either.
But I said that I will feast my eyes and instead, that’s where he lie is.
Because let’s face it…there is not yet a feast in front of me. The card for
Retribution takes shape. Xander Valentine, a challenge from Trios Tournament,
he is focused on Lucas Knight. Ironically, attempting, subtly to match the same
challenge I had for the Helms extended family. I could focus on David, but
David has his own problems with Giovanni Aries. I seemed to have waited for too
long. I could focus on Scarlet Grey, but I have a problem with petty revenge. I
prefer something a bit more complicated, if you will. But instead I sit
here…listening to the crowd.”
Datura smirks.
Datura: “Sorry, that adulation
is not what brought me here tonight. Instead, it merely reinforced what I
already knew…I am my own target. And in that target, comes opportunity. So who
wants to take a shot?”
Datura smirks as she lowers
the microphone. She then shifts herself to the entrance way and cups her
fingers, waiting and watching. The crowd buzzes some. Datura continues to watch
All of a sudden, the lights go
out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by
Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst
the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it
does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has
begun to engulf it. The crowd cheers.
Sharper: “Oh boy! This could
be fun! This could be really fun. Two of the most cerebral competitors in SCW!”
Knots: “Look at Datura! She’s
smiling!”
Sharper: “That’s the last
challenger to the SCW World Championship! Of course she is!”
Datura smiles. When the lyrics
kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both
as himself and as his various demon incarnations. When the song hits the
chorus, pyro suddenly goes off on the stage in sync with the creative soul
himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage,
arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers. Datura remains
seated as Aaron Blackbourne looks down at the ring. We cut between the two
individuals.
Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne
looking at Datura! Datura looking back!”
Knots: “Two of the most
creative minds. Talk about a rebound for Blackbourne. And for Datura, talk
about a way to immediately get everyone’s attention!”
Aaron Blackbourne and Datura
continue to watch one another before the scene cuts away.
“The Old Me” plays as the
Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Ace Marshall &
Asher Hayes vs. Sienna Swann & Glory Braddock come up on the screen.
Sharper: “And from that, we
will go to our main event! Sienna Swann and Glory Braddock face Ace Marshall
and Asher Hayes! It’s next here on Breakdown!”
The scene fades to black.

Sienna Swann & Glory
Braddock vs. Ace Marshall & Asher Hayes
A countdown starts on the big
screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits
the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The
fans erupt in cheers as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and
a black reflective jacket. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side.
ADRENALIZE ME
He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out
throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green
in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way.
He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd.
Cassidy smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the
beat.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for TV time
remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, making his way to the
ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Bird Slayer, mud
slinger and first of his title, Ace Marshall!”
The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before
standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the
song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. Standing along it she raises her head
up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips
seductively before flipping over it, landing inside the ring on her feet before
turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring just
as Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the
crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back
to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of
the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway.
Sharper: “An interesting match
to say the least to cap us off tonight. Two teams that really have little
experience about them but reflect current alliances.”
Knots: “Asher Hayes and Ace
Marshall hanging out backstage. Trained together for Ace’s Trios Tournament
teams. Both of them. Glory meanwhile now very friendly with Sienna Swann.”
Sharper: “That whole situation
exposes how both are using each other, but yet, they seem to know it and don’t
care. They have similar worldviews right now.”
The arena lights dim down, as
the opening riffs of "Rope" by the Foo Fighters echo throughout the
arena. At the 13 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through
the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the
stage, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses, holding the SCW Adrenaline
Championship.
“This indecision got me climbing up the wall
Been cheating gravity and waiting on the fall
How did this come over me, I thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown
Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you”
Phillips: “His partner, from
Chicago, Illinois, he is the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Asher Hayes!”
He makes his way down the ramp as the cheers of the crowd rain down upon him.
He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists
into the air, slinging the jacket off his shoulders, saluting the crowd before
dropping down and running to the opposite side. He stands, once again, on the
top rope. He tosses his shades out to the crowd, smirking and a blowing a kiss
to the fans before dropping down, removing his jacket and handing it to the ref
before leaning into the corner, waiting for the match to begin.
Sharper: “Asher Hayes will
defend his title against Jordan Majors and Marie Jones at Retribution. This
match showing some of those issues going to a head. Sienna Swann, Bree
Lancaster’s good friend, said she’ll give Jordan something to smile about.
Glory Braddock threatened Ace Marshall last week.”
Knots: “Yeah, after he messed
with Sienna, claiming he could cash in his Trios Tournament contract at
Retribution. I’m sure that caused a small heart attack!”
The first chords of "When
Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system...
Phillips: “Their opponents, first, from London, England, she is the British
Bombshell, Glory Braddock!”
Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of
purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a
million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment
before making her way down the entrance ramp. The British Bombshell steps up
the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the
apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and
into the ring. Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and
poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly. She glances at Ace and Asher
who remain in their corner.
Sharper: “Glory Braddock’s
arrogance going through the roof by the week.”
Knots: “She’s threatened Ace
Marshall over a joke. The growing friendship between Sienna and her immediately
paying off. And now at Retribution, Glory Braddock will face Ace Marshall.
Think about that.”
A red carpet is rolled out
with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by
the name of Xiomara Diaz directs everyone to take their positions just as the
arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke
begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style" by Taylor Swift begins
to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various
photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs
with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Then Sienna Swann walks out
with her head down as the crowd boos loudly. Sienna then extends her arms and
reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she
looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to
pepper down on her from the “paparazzi” staged around her, Xiomara making sure
that they take plenty of pics of The Beautiful Angel before making her way to
the ring, Chris Cannon then walks out behind her, Xiomara and her husband,
Chris follow her to the ring as the paparazzi disappear to the back with the
stage hands….
Phillips: “And her partner,
accompanied by Xiomara Diaz and Chris Cannon, from Johannesburg, South Africa,
she is the IronAngel, Sienna Swann!”
Sienna walks down to the ring, looking around and looking at the fans in
disgust. She continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top
rope, posing with her wings spread wide. She looks up to the rafters as a gold
spotlight like the light of heaven shines down on her as gold glitter begins to
rain down on the entire arena. Sienna smirks and hops into the ring with the
help of Chris, spreading her arms out and smiling before Xiomara takes off her
wings to help Sienna get prepared as both Xiomara and Chris make their
way out of the ring and to the respective corner while Sienna stands, now
speaking with Glory.
Sharper: “Sienna Swann in with
backup. Two of the four individuals we know to be involved in the Thunderdome
match at Retribution in eleven days as she tries to take the World
Championship.”
Knots: “Take…good word. Not
earn. She thinks that she’s been screwed. I just think she’s exposed herself as
not being what she claims. A champion would have taken the challenge willingly.
Prove you’re the best.”
The bell sounds as Ace
Marshall steps up and claps his hands. Glory sees this and says something to
Sienna. Sienna smiles and thanks her before exiting the ring. Glory then looks
across at Ace. Ace watches her as Glory steps up. Ace then lunges and the two
grapple, but Glory drops down and spins around Ace and into a waistlock. She
clubs him in the back and moves into a side headlock. Ace reaches around as
Glory pulls back. Ace gets her to the ropes. She then fires her off. Glory
bounces off the other side. Ace then steps forward and shoulders her down.
Glory looks up and Ace moves into the ropes. Glory rolls toward her. Ace rolls
through and gets up. Glory gets up and runs at him. Ace sidesteps and pushes
her into the ropes. Glory bounces off and Ace arm drags her over. Glory rolls
through and gets up and Ace hip tosses her. He goes to grab her. Glory pushes
him off with her feet. Both get up and Glory kicks him in the ribs and wrenches
the arm.
Sharper: “Glory and Ace
trading holds, arm drags. Just trying to get in each other’s head early on.”
Knots: “Well knowing Ace, he’s
going to at some point try to go after Glory for calling herself best in the
world.”
Ace holds on and Glory jerks
on the arm. She then kicks him in the chest before running to the corner. She
runs up the corner and twists back and into an arm drag. Ace rolls through and
moves back to the corner. Glory gets up and runs after and Ace gets an elbow
up. Glory stumbles out and Ace runs out and clotheslines her down. He then
spins around to his knees.
Ace: “Best in the World,
right!”
Glory turns and lunges for
him, but Ace moves back and then quickly moves into a side headlock. He laughs
a bit and Glory starts to get her legs under her.
Knots: “Told you!”
Sharper: “It’s like you watch
tape!”
Knots: “Nope! Just know Ace is
a dick!”
Glory gets up and reaches out
to Sienna, but Ace pulls her away. He then knees her in the ribs and tags in
Asher. Asher enters as Ace holds her arm up. Asher kicks her in the ribs and
then wrenches the arm. Ace exits as Asher pushes Glory into the ropes and fires
her off. She bonuces off and Asher lifts her up onto his shoulders and hits a
Samoan drop. He geos for the pin.

don’t know where the shots are coming from!”
Sienna goes for the pin.

happy to bend the rules. Why not?”
Sharper: “Ace is too!”

He knows the numbers aren’t in his favour! So he’s going to do anything to
remind them that Evans isn’t going down without a fight!”
Knots: “Divide and conquer!”
Evans then spins into the
ring. Sienna rolls to the floor and Evans dives for her. She backs away as Ace
just watches him. Evans rolls to the floor and then walks around the ring, away
from Sienna. He throws his arm up as the crowd cheers him. Evans walks around
to the entrance way and starts to back up to the back. The crowd chanting for him
the entire way.
Sharper; “This crowd coming

Knots: “Sienna is too!”
Sienna looks around as she
then turns to Chris as Xiomara checks on him. Chris winces, holding his chest

Sienna: “This is how you want

Sienna steps up the steel

Sienna: “At Retribution, no
one can be involved unless I’ve given the go ahead. But until then, you know
what, James…while I have an army, you have NO ONE! So keep trying to get to me.
One more week you’ll hold that title and then this company will have it right
with Chris or I back on top!”
The crowd boos as Sienna drops
the microphone. She turns back to Chris.
Knots: “Even had to get the
last word.”
Sharper: “May have, but James
Evans got the final shot tonight. And with one more Breakdown, what is going to
happen? What will James have in store?”
Knots: “What will Sienna have
in store?”
Sharper: “We’ll find out…”
The scene slowly fades to
black as James walks to the back, smiling…
