DARK MATCH:

Jamal Evans defeats Sean Homes and Brian Gun via pinfall


 

The SCW symbol comes onto the screen.

 

“The following is a presentation of Supreme Championship Wrestling, the leader in sports and entertainment in the world today.”

 

The scene then fades to black.

 


 

MAIN SHOW:

 

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Josh Hudson locking in the Angle before freezing and flying past the screen. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx biting Asher Hayes’ lip and then ripping away as Asher winces from the sudden pain, before freezing and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

We see Damian Angel nailing Rick Rohl with a lead pipe before freezing and flying at the screen. A shot of Jason Wheeler spearing Greg Cherry is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of Greg Cherry, Stacy Kissinger and Mr. Drachewych all standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

Shots of Gigi Steward and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Donovan Kayl nailing someone with the G’Night Bitch, and followed by a shot of Christian Savior hitting a guillotine leg drop on Brian Kinney are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of the SCW Tag Team Champions, Liberation, are shown, posing with the titles before flying past the screen.

 

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

 

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Shilo Valiant, Blake Mason, Thorn & David Helms, Fred Debonair, Masquerade, Dark Triad and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen. 

 

The scene then switches to the inside of the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena for a few moments before we sweep down to ringside and the SCW announce team of Adam Sharper, Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone as we come from north of the border for Breakdown. My name is Adam Sharper, alongside Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots and tonight, we’re going to have the huge meeting in this ring. Sasha Drachewych has returned and she’ll be going face to face with Jason Zero.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah. Zero, for weeks, has been trying to make a deal with CHBK and CHBK has been quick to question his aims, but Zero has to deal with Sasha Drachewych tonight. The same person he ruthlessly attacked for no reason several weeks ago.”

 

Knots: “But that’s not all. Last Breakdown, great news...Jake Starr said it was the end. And you know what, thank God! I love it. And now we have to deal with how the Social Misfits have to continue without him. And I’m sure Josh Hudson is going to have some things to say too.”

 

Dawson: “That’s not all. Damian Angel and Katie Steward will be going at it. Brayden Walker will be moving into the Underground division for the first time.”

 

Sharper: “A lot is going to happen if last show was any indication.”

 

Masquerade vs. Christian Savior

Non-Title Match

 

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

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

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

Welcome to the Masquerade

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

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

Welcome to the Masquerade...

The music cuts and the fans roar as Masquerade places the title underneath his corner. Masquerade then turns to the entrance way.

 

Sharper: “Masquerade has to be back on cloud nine as he defeated Aaron Rupp last Breakdown for the Adrenaline Championship.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Liberation and Karnivale are playing musical title belts.”

 

Dawson: “Well we have yet to hear anything confirmed about whether a rematch will be take place. I will note that Aaron Rupp is not here. Congratulations to him as he’s enjoying his honeymoon this week.”

 

Knots: “Poor guy.”

 

“Coming Home” plays throughout the arena and the crowd starts to boo. Flames shoot out of the entrance way and we then see Christian Savior walk out from the back with the SCW United States Championship over his shoulder. The boos intensify and Savior continues on his way down to the ring. Savior makes his way down before walking over to the steel steps and looking up at the ring. He smirks as he pulls himself up and then walks along the apron and enters into the ring. He then walks over to the corner and throws his arm up in the air, the title hoisted high above him.

 

Dawson: “Christian Savior, the reigning US Champion, has been continuing his recent success and turning heads.”

 

Sharper: “Taking out Zero four weeks ago, spearing Thorn through the cage at Tactical Warfare and a shocking win against Greg Cherry last week. The US Champion is on a roll. I just wish he would actually defend his damn title. He’s had it for two months and nothing.”

 

Knots: “Well maybe he’s just that good, okay?”

 

Savior drops down and places his title underneath his corner before turning around and smirking at Masquerade. Masquerade just looks at him and Savior starts to walk out from the corner and Masquerade quickly lunges, but Savior sidesteps him and kicks him in the side of the leg. Masquerade winces and Savior grabs him from behind and drives his forearm into the back of Masquerade. He then cuffs him in the back of the head. Masquerade attempts a back elbow, but Savior ducks and knees him in the ribs. Masquerade staggers back and Savior uppercuts him in the jaw. Masquerade falls back to the ropes. Savior then grabs him and whips him into the ropes. Masquerade bounces off the ropes and Savior lifts him up and hip tosses him down. Masquerade gets up and Savior turns and attempts the Soul Survivor, but Masquerade pushes him off. Savior stops in the middle of the ring and then turns around only for Masquerade to nail him with a spinning heel kick.

 

Sharper: “Masquerade showing the quickness that helped him win the Adrenaline Championship with a stiff spinning heel kick.”

 

Knots: “A shot to the face. I like it. A bit crude.”

 

Sharper: “Well you’ve always had a problem with crude…right?”

 

Savior gets back up and Masquerade grabs him and hits a jawbreaker. Masquerade pops up and runs into the ropes as Savior holds his jaw. Masquerade nails him with a flying clothesline. He then turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Savior kicks out. He then rolls over and gets up slowly as Masquerade then grabs him and nails  him with a forearm and then another. He pushes Savior into the corner. Masquerade then knees him in the ribs before going to whip him across the ring, but Savior counters and sends Masquerade into the corner. Savior turns around and runs after Masquerade only for Masquerade to catch him with a boot to the face. Savior stumbles back and Masquerade climbs up to the top rope before diving back and taking Savior down with a moonsault into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Savior kicks out again and rolls over before getting to the ropes.

 

Dawson: “Oh, how close was that? The Adrenaline Champion nearly pinned the US Champion.”

 

Knots: “Okay Savior. You really need to get things going here.”

 

Sharper: “A huge move launched out of nowhere by Masquerade. Savior is struggling ever since attempting that Soul Survivor.”

 

Savior starts to slowly lift himself up and Masquerade gets up and grabs Savior. He clubs him in the back before lifting him up. Masquerade nails him with a forearm and then goes to send Savior into the ropes. Savior again spins through and Masquerade is sent into the ropes. He jumps up onto the middle rope and dives back, but Savior blocks it before grabbing Masquerade and lifting him up and over with a German suplex. Masquerade rolls over, holding his head in pain. He then slowly starts to stir and Savior grabs him before turning and throwing Masquerade hard into the nearest ringpost. The crowd ohs and Masquerade lies on the turnbuckle pad in pain.

 

Dawson: “Oh! Shoulder first into the ringpost.”

 

Knots: “That’s some quick thinking there.”

 

Savior smirks as he walks around and the crowd boos. Savior then turns and grabs Masquerade by the tights and pulls him out before grabbing him by the head and dropping him with a reverse DDT. He then turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Masquerade gets his shoulder off the canvas. Savior looks up and grabs Masquerade and sits him up before grabbing him in a reverse chinlock. He then lifts up his knee and drives it into Masquerade’s spine. He lifts his knee again and does it again. He then pulls back on Masquerade by the jaw before slowly lifting him up. He nails him with a hard right before firing him into the ropes. Masquerade bounces off the ropes and Savior hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He then turns and walks over to the corner. He exits to the apron before starting to climb up to the top rope. He turns and looks out as Masquerade and Masquerade remains down for a moment. He then gets up and stands on the top rope and Masquerade suddenly nips up and runs over to the corner before grabbing Savior and throwing him from the top rope with a belly to belly superplex! The crowd ohs and then cheers.

 

Sharper: “Belly to belly suplex from the top rope. Masquerade came up from nowhere and took Savior down!”

 

Dawson: “Crash and burn. Savior went high-risk. It looked good, but it didn’t happen well.”

 

Masquerade starts to slowly stir as Savior winces. Masquerade gets up and then dives on top of Savior.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Savior kicks out. Masquerade looks up and grabs Savior and slowly lifts him up. He then turns and spins him around and drives him face first into the top turnbuckle. Savior turns and Masquerade grabs him again, but Savior reaches up and rakes Masquerade’s eyes. Masquerade staggers back to the middle of the ring and turns back to Savior and Savior runs out and clotheslines him down. He then walks around the ring before falling to the ropes. He looks back as Masquerade starts to pull himself up and Savior turns and drops down to a seated position in the corner, setting Masquerade up.

 

Knots: “Well Masquerade may be on cloud nine, but he’s going to get knocked off a big way. Spear may be coming up.”

 

Sharper: “Masquerade needs to start to think fast again. It’s done him well so far, but he’s still got to win!”

 

Masquerade starts to slowly pull himself up and Savior then lunges and Masquerade turns and nails him with a kick to the head. Savior drops back and rolls over, slowly starting to get up. He then gets to his feet and Masquerade scoops him up onto his shoulders. He then spins him around for a TKO, but Savior drops down and rolls through with a roll-up.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Masquerade kicks out and falls forward. Both men get up and Savior quickly drills Masquerade with a spear. The crowd ohs and Masquerade turns and hooks the leg for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos and Savior rolls over and smiles. He then slowly starts to pull himself up before walking over to the ropes. He then walks over and grabs his US Championship before holding it up over his head.

 

Sharper: “And Savior shows yet again how vicious that spear is.”

 

Knots: “Plants Masquerade right there and it’s over. No one is getting up from that.”

 

Savior places the title over his shoulder before walking over to the ropes and stepping through. Suddenly, “Everywhere I Go” plays throughout the arena and we see Gable Winchester walk out from the back with a microphone in his hand. Savior stops and looks up before backing up. Winchester mockingly applauds before stepping forward to the top of the rampway.

 

Gable: “Christian….Congratulations. Congratulations on yet again showing that you’re capable of a solid win. Congratulations on yet again proving you can get the job done….just aren’t willing to defend your title.”

 

The crowd cheers as Gable looks down at Savior. Savior just scoffs.

 

Gable: “Well Christian, it’s been nearly two months since you won that title and I’m not too happy that you’ve been sitting on it, defending it against no one. You’re lucky CHBK hasn’t decided to have it on the line more often. But…well, it seems like there is a desire to rely on CHBK to do all of that. So, I’m going to make this a bit more direct. You’ve been making your case with that spear of yours, but despite my little break, I’ve been making my case for being one of the young up and comers. And I’m a bit free at Taking Hold of the Flame. In fact…”

 

Gable pauses and smiles as the crowd cheers.

 

Gable: “I want to face you for your title that night!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Oh yeah! I like that!”

 

Dawson: “Gable Winchester versus Christian Savior for the US Championship at Taking Hold of the Flame!”

 

Gable: “Christian…show you’re a champion. Just say yes….”

 

Gable brings the microphone down to his side. Savior just smirks before flipping off Gable. He then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Savior then starts to make his way down the rampway. Gable gets ready to defend himself as the crowd roars a bit. Savior then laughs a bit before walking along the side of the rampway. He then shakes his head as the crowd then starts to boo. Gable just then shakes his head in a bit of disbelief as the scene slowly fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns and we see CHBK standing in one of the hallways, approached by Jessica Winters. Winters turns to him with her microphone in hand.

 

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I am here with the Commissioner and while I know this is a huge night in many ways, I have to ask….did you hear Gable Winchester’s challenge and assertions about Christian Savior before the commercial break?”

 

CHBK: “Well of course I did Jessica. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be a good commissioner. And in fact, Gable makes a pretty good point and Christian did very little to assuage me of his concerns. As such, I think I’m going to make it pretty simple. At Taking Hold of the Flame, particularly since both Savior and Gable are available, we’re going to see Savior put that title on the line and Gable Winchester is going to get his shot.”

 

The crowd roars in the arena.

 

Jessica: “Savior and Winchester for the US Championship at Taking Hold of the Flame. That’s huge.”

 

CHBK: “I try to give the people what they want.”

 

CHBK then turns and starts to walk towards his office. Jessica Winters continues to follow him.

 

Jessica: “CHBK, one more question for you. Any word on when Sasha Drachewych will be arriving?”

 

CHBK: “Sometime later tonight. She’ll be here. Don’t worry about that. I wouldn’t want to disappoint Jason Zero.”

 

CHBK then opens his door and walks inside and goes over to his desk before stopping and smirking. He then reaches onto his desk, before lifting up a black lace thong. He then holds it up as some members of the crowd roars.

 

Jessica: “Oh my!”

 

CHBK then grabs another thong, this one pink and cotton. CHBK just chuckles a bit.

 

CHBK: “Seems like someone likes me.”

 

CHBK then drops them on his desk, shaking his head as we go back to ringside.

 

Angelina Drake vs. Mike Harrison

 

The lights begin to dim to a lower setting, as the beginning of “Dancing Mad” begins to play. Bright spot lights circle around the stage as boos, even some cheers, start up. From the stage, Angelina Drake is elevated. Her attire is merely a silky white robe, bringing almost a heavenly sight to her. Angelina smiles at the sight of the ring, her arena. After a short walk, the lights return to normal and Angelina Drake pulls off her robes as she stands on the apron. Angelina reveals a black lacy corset, with the edges lined with bright gold. Her black tights had a stripe of gold running down either side to her boots.

 

Dawson: “Now Jonathan, don’t drool too much.”

 

Knots: “Holy hell. One thing Sasha and CHBK know about is hiring beautiful women.”

 

Sharper: “Well she may be beautiful, but she is deadly. A Black Widow. She will wear you down and focus on you technically. Very submission based.”

 

"Remember the Name" by Fort Minor is heard around the arena as it falls on complete darkness. Two lime green lasers stream down from the roof and start to aimlessly circle around the entrance area. When the song kicks in fully we hear a loud bang and two bright white fireworks explode on either side of the entrance way. On that cue Mike Harrison appears on the stage area, smiling and looking at the fans for a second. He then begins to casually make his way down to the ring by guide of a single spotlight, pumping up the crowd as he goes. When he gets to the end of the ramp he looks at the ring, and then to either side of him cracks another smile and slides under the bottom rope. He then walks to the centre of the ring, and kneels down. He leans back slightly and thrusts his arms into the air, as he does this four bright white flares fire out of each ring post. As they settle Mike Harrison rises back to his feet.

 

Sharper: “While Angelina Drake is making her debut here in SCW, she has to compete with Mike Harrison who returns after weeks of being away with injury.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Angelina Drake is going to look to put him back there. In fact, I’ll let her warm up with me!”

 

The bell sounds and Harrison looks at Drake. Drake looks at him as Harrison then goes to move in for a grapple, but Drake quickly kicks him in the knee. She then kicks him again and Harrison stumbles back. Drake kicks Harrison in the knee again and he moves back into the corner and Drake kicks him again. Harrison winces and Drake goes for the leg and lifts it up onto the middle rope as Harrison reaches out. Drake moves back and kicks Harrison in the leg. He winces and Drake kicks him again. Harrison hops out of the corner and walks along the ropes before Drake grabs him and grabs the leg, but Harrison nails her with a forearm. Drake lets go and staggers back. Harrison moves back to the corner and Drake moves back in, but Harrison steps out and chops her in the chest before spinning her around and nailing her with a back elbow. He steps back and hits a second before stepping back again only for Drake to kick him in the leg again. Harrison staggers back to the middle of the ring.

 

Sharper: “Drake is relentlessly going after that leg. Repeatedly kicks and just focusing right on that.”

 

Dawson: “And Harrison is quite well versed in submission wrestling as well and Drake is quickly making it hard for him to do much!”

 

Drake walks out and takes Harrison down with a single leg takedown before spinning around on the leg, but Harrison pushes her back. She slowly gets back up as Harrison gets up. She grabs Harrison, but Harrison counters with a snapmare. He then drops down and drives his shoulder into her back. Drake winces and Harrison goes for a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Drake kicks out. Harrison gets up and Drake starts to stir. Harrison quickly grabs her arm and wrenches it before jerking on it. He then drops her down to her knees before jumping up and kneeing her in the back of the head. She falls forward and Harrison limps around.

 

Knots: “How dare he knee a woman like that!”

 

Dawson: “Well this is a one on one match and Angelina Drake relished this match from what I was hearing backstage.”

 

Sharper: “And I think she can handle her own, judging by the damage she’s done so far.”

 

Drake starts to slowly lifts herself back up and Harrison grabs her before hooking her arm and then hoisting her over with a vertical suplex. Drake winces and Harrison turns and grabs her while she’s seated in a dragon sleeper. He starts to pull back, but Drake positions her legs around, feeling them out. She then grabs the hair of Harrison and pulls herself up to her feet. Harrison comes up with her and Drake then jumps up and knees Harrison in the head, causing Harrison to let go and Drake falls to the mat only to take Harrison down by the leg and starts to go for a single leg lock. Harrison quickly starts to move towards the ropes and Drake pulls back. He winces before grabbing the bottom rope. Drake holds on for a few moments before letting go and rolling back. Harrison starts to slowly pull himself up.

 

Dawson: “Back to the leg and Harrison was in a world of hurt.”

 

Sharper: “Deadly with some of those submissions. She’s been trained well and showing it here.”

 

Knots: “She’s got a lot of other things ‘well’ too!”

 

Harrison gets up and Drake quickly grabs him by the leg again and lifts him up, but Harrison manages to shift his weight. Drake holds on and takes him down with a dragon screw. She then turns and grabs the leg again and Harrison manages to reach up and take her over with a small package.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Drake kicks out. Both get back up and Harrison manages to grab Drake and drop her with a DDT. The crowd ohs and Drake rolls over slowly. Harrison slowly gets up and Drake starts to pull herself up before falling down to her knees. Harrison then back suplexes Drake before rolling over and slowly pulling himself up into the corner.

 

Dawson: “Harrison starting to tame Drake in some ways and just with pure strength if you want to look at it that way.”

 

Knots: “Well I kno-“

 

Sharper: “Just don’t. I don’t think anyone needs that visual.”

 

Harrison gets up and limps around as Drake gets back up. She then turns and Harrison kicks her in the ribs before nailing her with a European uppercut. She spins around and Harrison backs up to the ropes before bouncing off them and attempting a kick, but Drake catches the leg, but Harrison then grabs the head of Drake and forces her down before bending his leg across his head and locking in the Lights Out. The crowd roars as Drake reaches around, panicking before starting to tap away on his leg. The referee calls for the break and Harrison lets go before rolling over. Harrison sits up and then slowly starts to lift himself up as Drake holds her head in pain.

 

Sharper: “Harrison makes Drake tap out, despite her success, he still gets past her offense!”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Lucky bastard. Got the win and got to feel up Drake!”

 

Sharper: “Well, let’s not go there. But Harrison returns after a hiatus with an impressive and effective win!”

 

The crowd roars a bit as Harrison slowly starts to pull himself up. He limps around as the referee raises his arm. Harrison looks back at Drake as Drake remains down in pain, before exiting the ring.

 

The scene cuts backstage and roars of boos can be heard as the cameras focus on Josh Hudson, SCW Championship over his shoulder, starting to walk through the backstage area. Hudson continues to walk forward as the boos continue.

 

Dawson: “Well there is the World Champion.”

 

Sharper: “And I’m sure he’s going to have some interesting things to say. He’s on his way to the ring. The SCW Champion, next, on Breakdown!”

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

“Love Me or Hate Me, It Doesn’t Make a Difference" can be heard throughout the arena, as it echoes through the PA system and then it breaks into “Lie". Out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson with the SCW World Championship over his shoulder. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and nods his head yes, and then begins to head down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “And there you see the reigning World Champion.”

 

Knots: “He’s making a statement already. He wants what he wants and he’ll do what he needs to to get it.”

 

Sharper: “But with Starr’s comments last week, he may not be getting that.”

 

He ignores the various boos and the middle fingers and trash talk from the fans, walking down the ramp with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, smirking, before dropping down and walking over to Jason Phillips and being handed the microphone. He then slowly walks back over to the middle of the ring. The crowd boos loudly as Hudson walks over to the middle of the ring. He just looks around, smiling slightly before scoffing.

 

Hudson: “So I guess I should not be surprised. After I came out here in front of the world and made it clear that I was going to ensure that Jake Starr would be forced to prove himself against me...he went up and gave a sappy speech in front of the world about how it was over. I can only assume that it was his career and that’s that. So Jake Starr is gone and with it, my hopes....”

 

Hudson pauses as the crowd boos.

 

Hudson: “...Or so you’d think. In fact, I now don’t need to remove the extra baggage from this match. I don’t need to inconvenience myself by taking out Thorn or Justin Davis and wasting my energy doing such menial tasks. Instead, I can now walk into Taking Hold of the Flame, not only the SCW Champion, not only facing off against two stars that are looking for that third time to be the charm, but knowing that without a shadow of a doubt, I am BETTER than Jake Starr!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Hudson looks out at the crowd.

 

Hudson: “They say cowardice is the better part of valour, but in this case, cowardice is just cowardice and I am standing here whereas Starr....where’s he? He’s NOT here-“

 

Suddenly, pyrotechnics shoot out of the top of the ramp as "Awake and Alive" by Skillet begins to play. Justin Davis walks out from the back as the crowd gives a mixed reaction. He just glares at Hudson before then starting to slowly make his way down to the ring a bit faster and a bit faster before then sprinting down and sliding in. He then gets up and Hudson turns and grabs Davis, but Davis spins him around and into the corner. He then kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a chop as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Davis! Davis is here and look at him tee off on the SCW Champion!”

 

Knots: “And he’s pissed! Hudson tried to take him out last Breakdown!”

 

Davis nails him with another chop before suddenly, the crowd explodes in cheers as we see Thorn, Helms, Bishop and Jake Starr, the Social Misfits. They bolt down to the ring before sliding in and Davis turns around and Thorn runs over and clotheslines him down. Davis quickly rolls out of the ring as Bishop and Helms focus on them. Starr meanwhile runs over and jumps up and nails Hudson with a running clothesline in the corner and Hudson drops down before rolling to the floor. Starr then walks around the ring as the crowd cheers.

 

Dawson: “Starr! Jake Starr is here. And the Misfits are here!”

 

Knots: “What the hell? Starr said it was over. I saw it right here. He said it was over!”

 

Sharper: “I know. I was sitting right here too. Starr is still in the ring and he just dropped Hudson!”

 

Starr looks around before grabbing the microphone in the ring that Hudson had and lifts it up. He then smiles as he walks over to the ropes and looks at Hudson as Hudson falls back to the barricade.

 

Starr: “You stupid, stupid son of a bitch. You know that little saying....if you assume, you make an ass out of....well, you. See, I’ve been spending the last two weeks laughing as everyone has been thinking that I retired in this ring last week. I said it was over, but I never said my career was. Oh no....see, for months and months, I was world champion. But I’m not going to run because I lost. Hell no. I wouldn’t want to give you the satisfaction!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Dawson: “Alright!”

 

Starr: “What I was referring to was that the Social Misfits as the Social Misfits was over. See, for the last few months, we have seen the group of us unite against something that just isn’t what we are. The Social Misfits was what I was back in the day. Brandon Evans was one. He and I were the last. And instead of continuing to drag that old name and brand around, I knew that it was clear that we needed to move forward. And since everyone else here is screaming about saving this and doing that, I figured it was necessary to stop being something we’re not and being something we are...a group of friends who love to kick YOUR ass....”

 

Starr then turns to Davis.

 

Starr: “...kick YOUR ass....”

 

Starr then looks around.

 

Starr: “Hell, kick everyone’s ass if we feel like it. And what a better way to show you that you’re not going to get what you want then to show what we’re about. We’re going to show solidarity. You want to take out Davis. Go ahead. No one will care. But I know, sooner or later, you’re going to come after Thorn. And Josh...as talented as you are, I don’t think you can take all four of us out.”

 

Knots: “So he’s going to duck a one on one match!”

 

Dawson: “He didn’t say that! We’re putting words in his mouth again!”

 

Starr: “And Joshy-boy, I’ll make this really easy for you since you jumped the gun last time....You can claim I’m avoiding a one on one match. Go ahead. You’d be wrong yet again. I have no problem kicking your ass one on one in front of the world, BUT....it’s going to be on terms that are not just good for you and me, but good for Thorn, and HELL, good for Davis too. Feel special!”

 

The crowd cheers and Davis suddenly looks around as Hudson just continues to glare in the ring. Davis then turns and rolls into the ring, almost to run across the ring to get Hudson, but Thorn turns and kicks him in the ribs. Davis drops down and rolls over and Helms and Bishop then go over and hold him down.

 

Starr: “God you hate him.”

 

Starr just shakes his head. He then turns to Hudson before pointing at him and looking up.

 

Starr: “So Josh, sit back and relax. Because like you were looking to make a statement last Breakdown....we may not be the Misfits by name anymore....but we’re going to show you the solidarity that you’re going to have to deal with, if you want to skirt around the rules still. So bring it!”

 

Starr then lowers the microphone as the crowd cheers and Thorn and Starr both walk over to the ropes and lean over, looking at Hudson. Davis continues to struggle as Hudson just glares and starts to walk off as “Sandstorm” starts to play throughout the arena.

 

Sharper: “Jake Starr is still here. And he and Thorn are going to make sure that this match at Taking Hold of the Flame happens as scheduled!”

 

Dawson: “If Hudson wants to make the match Starr versus Hudson at Taking Hold of the Flame, he has to deal with everyone!”

 

Knots: “Oh come on! Come on! That over-dramatic moron is playing games!”

 

Sharper: “Starr was just ending a chapter in his life, but gave us a hell of a scare, I’ll admit there.”

 

Dawson: “He also got in the head of Hudson.”

 

Hudson just storms off to the back and Davis continues to struggle before Bishop nails him with a shot. Starr just turns back to as Davis manage to then squirm free and get to the floor. Hudson then starts to jog to the back as Davis starts to follow after him. Starr just smirks in the ring and walks over to Thorn and the two share an embrace, before Helms and Bishop join up in the middle of the ring and all embrace in the middle of the ring as the scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns and we see Justin Davis being held back by security in the backstage area just feet away from Josh Hudson’s locker room door. Davis tries to fight through and Glacier then shows up and actually helps hold Davis back.

 

Glacier: “Justin! Relax!”

 

Davis: “Let me get to him! Starr and Thorn didn’t need to be there!”

 

Glacier: “Well they were. Come on!”

 

Glacier continues to push back and Davis stops before spinning around.

 

Davis: “Those sons of bitches! They’re dead! They’re dead!”

 

Davis continues to clearly be enraged as we go back to ringside.

 

Sharper: “Justin Davis...he’s incensed.”

 

Knots: “Davis is pissed. He wants to get his hands on Hudson! He wanted revenge for last Breakdown! Jake Starr and his little game prevented that along with Thorn!”

 

Marina Trent vs. Madison Steward

 

"Whispers in the Dark" by Skillet plays as the lights change to a gentle cerulean color. The fans cheer and yell their support as a light mist settle along the rampway. With all in place, a figure raises from under the mist, her back to the audience. Running her hands through hair and down her body sensually to the music, she earns excited cries and wolf calls from the audience. Turning slowly, the audience sees the amber eyes and smiling face of the Cerulean Tear, Marina Trent. With a sudden turn, Marina faces the ring and makes her way down the ramp, her body swaying with every step. Reaching the right side of the ring, she pulls herself up and looks at the many cheering fans before backflipping over the ropes and landing on her feet in the ring. Finally, reaching the bottom left turnbuckle, Marina pulls herself up on the second turnbuckle, blowing a kiss with both hands to the audience as a tease to the audience before the lights return to normal and she awaits her opponent.

 

Dawson: “Huge opportunity for Marina Trent. A lot of rumours have been going around about Marina Trent making a significant push for the SCW Women’s Championship. A win against Madison Steward, a former number one contender, definitely helps.”

 

Knots: “But do you think a Steward is going to let go of title hopes? A Steward? That’s like asking whether I’m going to stop drooling over Syren. It’s not going to happen!”

 

“Can't Be Tamed” blasts through the arena, one single blue spot light flies around the audience, lighting up random fans, as the music gets louder. When the spot finally settles on the middle of the stage, Madison Steward sprints onto the out to the awaiting crowd. Madison throws her arms in the air getting a small pop from the crowd. She hops back and forth on the balls of her toes, showing the energy she possesses. She also flashes the multitude her award winning smile as she exhibits her excitement and it shows as she waves wildly to the crowd. The spotlight stays trained on Madison as she starts her walk down the ramp. Madison dressed in her ring gear with her own version of the Team Desire sleeveless jacket. As she reaches ringside, Madison runs at the ring apron and jumps on it and climbs the corner and throws her arms into the air trying getting the crowd to go nuts with cheers. Maddy climbs down off the ropes and enters the ring where she heads to her corner to get ready for the match to begin.

 

Sharper: “New theme music and almost a new leaf. We know that the Stewards, they may want a shot at the Women’s Championships, but Dark Fantasy just is too much for them at the moment.”

 

Knots: “Well, Dark Fantasy is too much for anyone at the moment.”

 

Sharper: “That may be true, but one way that the Stewards can stay right there is by turning away every challenge. If they’re the clear contenders, no one can stop them.”

 

The bell sounds and Madison and Marina look to each other and nod to each other approvingly. They slowly make their way to the middle of the ring and Marina lunges, but Madison drops down and trips up Marina before going for a pin.

Marina kicks out. Both get up and Madison chops Marina in the chest. She then chops her again before grabbing her and whipping her into the ropes.

Marina runs at Madison before jumping up and landing on her knees before hitting a monkey flip. Madison rolls over and gets back up and Marina gets up and attempts a clothesline, but Madison ducks. Marina turns around and Madison nails her with a chop. The crowd woos. Madison chops Marina again and then whips her into the ropes. Marina bounces of the ropes and Madison back drops her over before turning around and going for the pin.

Dawson: “Madison starting to take over here and this is getting bad for Marina Trent.”

 

Knots: “There’s that stranglehold on anything shiny coming through here. She knows she needs to keep looking going to get the shiny belt.”

 

Madison knees Marina in the ribs before then turns and whips her into the ropes. Marina bounces off the ropes and Madison jumps up and dropkicks her. Madison then turns and gets up before walking over to the corner. She then turns and pulls herself up onto the middle rope. Marina starts to stir and looks up and Madison dives off and nails her with a flying clothesline. She then turns and hooks the leg for the pin.

She bounces off the ropes and attempts a flipping senton, but Marina rolls over. Madison rolls through and both get up only for Marina to nail Madison with a spinning heel kick.

 

Sharper: “Oh! From nowhere. A great spinning heel kick, catching Madison Steward on the jaw.”

 

Knots: “Well if it was Katie, I’d say it would shut her up. But since it’s Madison, maybe it will just zap her energy!”

 

Sharper: “And Marina is getting back up and Madison Steward is dazed!”

 

Madison stirs and gets up and Marina then kicks Madison with a spin kick to the ribs. Madison winces and Marina then grabs Madison and pulls her down with a small package.

Madison slowly gets up and Marina nails her with a forearm before lifting her up and hitting a snap suplex. Madison then rolls over and holds her back as Marina pulls herself up and then exits to the apron. She walks over to the corner and climbs up to the top rope. Marina then turns and looks at Madison before standing up. She jumps up for a flying clothesline, but Madison ducks and Marina rolls through. She gets back up and Marina kicks her in the ribs before attempting the Explosion. Marina however pushes her away and Madison bounces off the ropes and Marina lifts her up, but Madison rolls through into a sunset flip.

The crowd roars and Madison rolls over and looks up as Marina rolls over and looks at Madison. Madison slowly rolls back as Marina just smacks the canvas in anger.

 

Knots: “Madison steals it. Barely it, but she got it!”

 

Dawson: “These two fought a small war here. The Women’s Division is in good shape.”

 

Marina slowly exits the ring as Madison gets up and enjoys her win a bit before walking around. Several shots of fans are shown, including showing new SCW wrestler Darkside watching the show from the upper stands. Madison has her arm raised as the scene slowly cuts backstage.

 

The scene opens backstage inside the locker room of Dark Triad. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as they see Syren walking around with her title. Ravyn Taylor starts to go through her bag.

 

Ravyn: “Zoe....um....did you go through my stuff again?”

 

Syren: “Oh....well...yeah. I thought you would be happy to know that I figured out a way to get CHBK off our case.”

 

Syren smiles as Ravyn’s eyes widen a bit as she looks at Syren.

 

Ravyn: “What did you do?”

 

Syren: “Oh...well, it’s amazing. Sometimes I impress myself. So, like, you know how Sasha is coming back today. Well, I took a few items from our bags and left them on CHBK’s desk. When she shows up, she’ll so like kick him out because it’s all ewww and stuff!”

 

Ravyn blinks as Brittany Lohan just watches the two.

 

Lohan: “I think Ravyn, you’re going to explode.”

 

Ravyn: “Okay, so....you took one of my thongs and put it in his office to get Sasha to fire him.”

 

Syren: “And I put some of mine in there. He’s as good as gone.”

 

Ravyn: “You do realize that....you know what....I’m not even going to try.”

 

Syren: “Come on. Be jealous. You wish you had thought of it!”

 

Ravyn: “Ah...sure...”

 

Just then there’s a knock at the door. Syren turns and skips over to the door before opening it up and eeks seeing CHBK there, twirling the thong around his finger. In his other hand, he has the pair of cotton panties.

 

Ravyn: “Oh great...”

 

CHBK: “So...I’d keep this short...and....wait...I always forget this part of the phrase...”

 

CHBK then holds up the cotton thong to show the word “sweet” on the crotch.

 

CHBK: “Ah, yes....sweet. But I’m going to guess that these belong to you. My guess, you, Syren are the owner of the cotton thong and Ravyn, I knew I had you pegged for black lace.”

 

Ravyn: “You better stop fantasizing about me right there. You couldn’t handle me if you tried.”

 

CHBK: “Well, if this was a decade ago, I’d be willing to take that bet. In fact, if I wasn’t happily married, I think I’d still make you eat those words....and it wouldn’t taste sweet. Though, Ravyn, you may be able to think of a few things that are.”

 

Syren: “Ewww....”

 

Ravyn: “You’re just full of the double entendres.”

 

CHBK: “Made a very successful career out of it. But don’t worry Ravyn, I won’t consider this idea yours. Just not that great of a plan. Syren, however, congratulations.”

 

Syren: “Ha!”

 

Syren smiles before turning to Ravyn.

 

Syren: “See! He’s jealous!”

 

CHBK: “But next time you’re going to try and do something to mess with me, one, remember that I’m happily married....and two, that it’s not to Sasha. And perhaps you should stick to things in the ring....especially you Syren.”

 

Syren: “Oh...I’m so good there!”

 

Ravyn: “Well give us the ring time we want and we’ll prove to you that you’ve been wrong the entire time.”

 

CHBK just smirks before tossing the thongs into the room before turning and walking off. Ravyn just shakes her head.

 

Syren: “I did good! I did good!”

 

Ravyn: “Sure, Zoe....Sure....”

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

“The following is your Taking Hold of the Flame moment of the night!”

 

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen before quickly cycling through all of the years of the event from 2004 to 2009 before then stopping...

 

“2007...”

 

Dawson: “I don’t believe it! James Exeter from Majestic is putting on a hell of a show and it’s down to James Exeter and Damian Angel. One of these men are going to Rise to Greatness!”

 

Sharper: “I wonder if Angel is thinking about CHBK right now!”

 

Exeter crawls up to his feet and Angel is still down from the low blow shot. Exeter walks over to Angel with a smirk on his face. The crowd is standing on their feet and Exeter grabs Angel. Angel suddenly low blows Exeter. Exeter falls against the ropes. Angel then runs up behind Exeter and throws him onto the apron. Exeter falls over the top rope and again lands onto the apron. Angel grabs Exeter and Exeter nails him with a hard right. He then springboards to the top rope and Angel jumps up and dropkicks the legs from under Exeter and Exeter falls throat first on the top rope and falls to the floor on the outside. The bell rings and “Lucifer’s Angel” plays throughout the arena. Damian Angel falls back to the middle of the ring and just breathes heavily.

 

Johnson: “I don’t believe it! He did it! Damian Angel did it!”

 

Sharper: “Damian Angel on June 10, 2007 has written history and will go to Rise to Greatness to face the SCW Champion!”

 

Dawson: “The SCW Adrenaline Champion showed he had enough adrenaline to do what he needed to do. Damian Angel is going to the promised land!”

 

Angel slowly starts to get up and throws his arm in the air in victory. He looks around at the arena and the crowd has a mixed reaction as he falls against the ropes.

 

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes back up on the screen before fading to black.

 

Rick Rohl vs. Travis Daniels vs. A Member of the Racing LaRues vs. Drew Weilacher

Taking Hold of the Flame Rookie Preview

 

Never gonna GIVE YOU UP, never gonna LET YOU DOWN
Never gonna RUN AROUND and DESERT YOU

Never gonna MAKE YOU CRY, never gonna SAY GOODBYE
Never gonna TELL A LIE and HURT YOU

"Never Give You Up" by Rick Astley hits as the freakishly tall and well-defined Rick Rohl gyrates out onto the stage in his tight black trunks and white collar-with-black bowtie, humping the air to the whoops and hollers of the women and the general laughter of the internet savvy.

Ring Announcer Phillips: "On the way to the ring, from CHIPPENDALE'S...weighing in at 275 pounds, he IS...Rick Rohl!"

He swaggers down the ramp with a oddly arrogant smirk on his face (especially considering he's only 2 degrees removed from nude) and climbs up the stairs. He sits on the second rope and extends his leg teasingly before moving it through the rope and climbing into the ring, once again beginning to gyrate and thrust his hips in time to the danceable music assaulting our ears at this very moment, before heading to a corner and removing his bowtie collar, waiting for the bell.

 

Dawson: “This will be an interesting match here on Breakdown. Four individuals will be going at it and the rules are simple. You win by eliminating your opponents by tossing them over the top rope to the floor.”

 

Sharper: “Everyone in this ring is going to be in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal for the first time themselves in just a couple of weeks time, live from the Mellon Arena.”

 

'Blood on My Hands' takes over and the crowds boos continue as the incredibly arrogant Travis Daniels walks out onto the stage with an outlandish grin on his face. He stands on the stage with a huge grin on his face as he stares at the crowd. He walks down the ramp and stops at the bottom of the stage and raises both his arms high as blue, red, and black pryo shoot from the stage. He slides into the ring and climbs the second rope as he stares still grinning at the crowd as they boo him.

 

Knots: “I like this guy. I sense a future for him. He’s just confident.”

 

Sharper: “Or arrogant. Last week, that cost him a bit with Darkside.”

 

The roaring of two car engines can be heard as two cars speed into view on the SCWtron. As soon as they screech to a halt the opening to "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas begins to kick in.

"Gonna get that...
gonna get that...
gonna get that...
gonna get that that that that..."

As the song comes in full force with the first verse, Marcy LaRue comes from out of the backstage area. A couple of feet behind her is her younger brother Jeff. The two both look around the arena before they make their way down the ramp, all the while taking in the mixed reactions that they're receiving. Marcy finds that she's getting a lot of cat-calls and cheers from the guys while Jeff is getting the love from the younger females in the crowd. Alternately, Jeff is getting heavily booed by the guys while Marcy hears it pretty badly from the girls.

They both just shake their heads as they finally reach the ring, Jeff a few split seconds after Marcy. Marcy hops up onto the ring apron and Jeff decides it best to not tick off his sister. He opens the second and third ropes for her and allows her to step into the squared circle first. He follows as their music continues. The two look at one another now and actually give each other a high-five before each climbing a separate turnbuckle, letting the crowd know that they're ready to go racing.

As their music begins to fade the two climb down from the turnbuckles and patiently wait for the match to start, even though both of them roll their eyes with every passing second.

 

Knots: “Okay. Are these two just stupid? This is where one will enter.”

 

Sharper: “Same rules as Taking Hold of the Flame. Only one has reserved a spot. But right now, they’re both in the ring. The referee isn’t stepping in.”

 

Dawson: “No disqualification technically speaking here. So maybe they’ll use that to their advantage.”

 

"Violence Fetish" sounds over the PA system and the crowd starts to boo as Drew Weilacher walks out onto the ramp. Drew growls at the crowd as he comes stalking down the ramp, intimidating fans and children, laughing at their fear. Then he climbs up onto the apron and steps over the ropes into the ring before looking at the referee. The referee bails and Drew walks around the ring before starting to pace back and forth. He turns to the entrance way and just glares as he continues to stand in the ring.

 

Sharper: “And finally, the very angry and driven individual. And he’s going to be a challenge for all.”

 

Knots: “Who would want to take on a pissed off man in this match. They can just use their weight and strength so well. Plus, they’ll be a pain to get over the top rope!”

 

The referees stand on the floor and the bell sounds and Daniels immediately runs across the ring at Rick Rohl, as does both Jeff and Marcy LaRue. Rohl quickly nails Daniels with a hard right and then nails Jeff with a hard right. He then pushes Marcy back and Drew just walks forward. Daniels quickly gets up and runs over, but Drew grabs him and just throws him back. Rick Rohl then nails Drew with a hard right before kicking him in the ribs. He then goes to whip him into the ropes, but Jeff and Marcy both run over and stop Drew and Rick and start to try and get them up and over. Rick and Drew just block it before both grab Jeff and Marcy and together just throw them back. The crowd roars as they get back. Rick then turns and goes to nail Drew, but Drew just pushes him back and hard into the corner.

 

Dawson: “This is going to be a brawl. And it’s going to be quick. You can already see Daniels and the LaRues trying to get the big men out early.”

 

Knots: “Well both LaRues are in there. Clearly cheating. What the hell is that.”

 

Drew drives his shoulder into the corner as Jeff and Travis walk over to each other and Travis quickly uppercuts him. Jeff staggers back and Marcy races over and clotheslines him down. Travis rolls over and gets back up and Marcy kicks Travis in the ribs before jumping up and hitting a dropkick. He falls back as Drew continues to drive his shoulder into the ribs of Rohl in the corner. He then backs away as Marcy turns and runs over towards Drew and Drew just launches her in the air. Marcy lands on Rohl and Rohl manages to catch her a bit, though wincing and trying to lift her up. Jeff then gets up and runs over and dropkicks Drew in the knee and Drew staggers forward and stumbles down. He then gets up and Rohl goes to lift Marcy up and over, but Marcy gets on the apron. She then grabs Rohl’s head and Jeff runs up behind Rohl and starts to lift him up. Travis then suddenly runs over and jumps up and nails Rohl, causing Rohl to fall up and over the top rope and down to the floor. The crowd roars and Travis rolls back. Marcy quickly re-enters the ring.

 

Sharper: “And Rick Rohl has been eliminated, thanks to three individuals.”

 

Knots: “Well I can at least live with that. In that case, keep the LaRues in there. Hell, just will help Travis out when he gets them out of the ring.”

 

Dawson: “Well Drew starting to stir and they’re all leaning towards Drew. Drew starts to get up and Travis turns and kicks him in the chest as he gets up and Jeff joins him and kicks him too. They both kick him again and then grabs Drew. Drew then suddenly lifts himself up and throws both up. Travis flies back and lands on the top rope before just falling up head over heels and landing on top of Rohl on the floor. Drew just looks around, seething. Marcy then runs over and Drew grabs her by the throat and lifts her up. Marcy then wraps her legs around the head, and Jeff moves forward and low blows Drew. Drew winces and falls forward and Marcy takes Drew up and over the top rope. Drew lands on the floor as Marcy grabs the ropes. She then pulls herself back in as the crowd gives a bit of a reaction.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it! They debut here tonight and are victorious!”

 

Dawson: “But what will happen in Taking Hold of the Flame. They succeeded by being a team. Only one of them will be in the match at the battle royal.”

 

Knots: “Yeah...and they may want to quickly learn something about angry monsters!”

 

Travis Daniels argues with one of the referees as Drew turns around and slides back in. Marcy and Jeff quickly dive out of the ring and then start to back away as the crowd roars. Drew runs over and starts to circle the ring clearly enraged. Jeff and Marcy smile as they back away down the rampway.

 

After the match, we go backstage to see CHBK walking backstage before walking over to Rachel Foxx, who is doing some last minute stretching. Alex Desoubrais Jr., CHBK’s son, just turns and glares at his father.

 

Alex Jr.: “What the hell do you want?”

 

CHBK: “Nothing to you. I came here to speak with Rachel.”

 

Rachel just turns and glares at CHBK.

 

CHBK: “Rachel...going to make this clear....I realize that you’ve got to be...well...frustrated....but your actions on the last Breakdown were unnecessary and out of line. You want to keep doing that, we’ll be forced to take action.”

 

Rachel: “Action? Really...you?”

 

CHBK: “Yes.”

 

Alex Jr.: “Dad....a lot of other people around here after done that and they didn’t get action. You’re doing this because she’s with me.”

 

CHBK: “No. I’m doing this because she’s out of control.”

 

Rachel: “Out of control...You haven’t seen out of control.”

 

CHBK: “And I hope I don’t.”

 

Alex Jr.: “Screw off dad. Come on Rachel. Sooner we leave, the sooner he can go back to pretending he matters.”

 

Rachel just glares at CHBK before turning and walking off. CHBK just shakes his head.

 

CHBK: “To be young and stupid....seems to be contagious.”

 

CHBK shakes his head as the scene goes to commercial.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Adam Riddick vs. Rachel Foxx

 

The lights in the arena go completely dark as the ominously beautiful string intro of "Down and Out" by Tantric begins playing over the loud speakers. As the strings continue a single electric guitar strum echoes through the arena, lightning strikes on the jumbo-tron illuminate a female silhouette.

 

Dawson: “Welcome back to Breakdown and we’re getting huge news.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Jake Starr is going to get his ass kicked!”

 

Sharper: “After what happened earlier, we’re getting word officially that CHBK has announced that Justin Davis and Jake Starr are going to go at it one on one. A huge main event, here live, on Breakdown.”

 

The silhouette fades, and the words "THE SUICIDE QUEEN" appear in jagged letters, and then fade. More lightning strikes illuminate a picture of Rachel's eyes, and then fade into the words "RACHEL FOXX". As the intro reaches its climax, we hear a sadistic female laugh. The intro ends and loud guitars begin blaring over the speakers as blue pyros shoot up in front of the entrance. After a few moments, Rachel Foxx walks out the wall of blue sparks with Alex Desoubrais Jr. with her. The sparks fade and the house lights return, casting an eerie blue glow over the entire arena. Rachel takes a deep breath, plasters an evil grin on her lips, as Alex Desoubrais Jr. stands next to her and looks at her admiringly. They then begin to walk to the ring. The crowd boos, but they ignore them as they slowly swagger down the ramp. As they reach the ring, Alex Jr. hurries up the steps and holds the ropes open as Rachel slowly makes her way into the ring. Rachel climbs the turnbuckle and raises her arms in the air as a wall of fire shoots up behind her, as Alex Desoubrais Jr. supports her. Evil burns in her eyes as she tilts her head back and releases a sadistic laugh. After a few moments, the flames die down, and Rachel hops off the turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx was out of control last Breakdown. A close loss and she snapped and took out a referee.”

 

Knots: “And she’s been warned by our Commissioner. So that’s that. We can move on now. We know she’ll follow the rules.”

 

Sharper: “I really hope you’re being sarcastic.”

 

The all-too-familiar piano of “Criminal Mind” begins to play. The lights slowly fade until there is nothing but darkness. A spot-lit form of Adam Riddick appears on the screen, his head lowered. He's there for but a moment, but then disappears. The song continues.

"I stand accused before you / I have no tears to cry / and you will never break me / until the day I die."

A lone spotlight flashes across the arena and lands on the stage. Adam Riddick is standing within the spotlight, his head lowered. Slowly, he lifts his head and walks towards the ring as the song continues to play.

"A criminal mind is all I / all I ever known / they tried to reform me / but I'm made of cold stone"

Riddick stands before the ring, looking at the ominous structure. He stands there for a moment before hopping onto the ring apron with one knee, and dashing up the turnbuckle. The spotlight is still on him.

"A criminal mind is all I / all I've ever had / ask one who's known me / if I'm really so bad"

With a smooth motion, Riddick takes off his sunglasses and opens his eyes. A smirk appears on his face as he looks at the audience.

"I am."

 

Sharper: “We’ve heard from Adam Riddick tonight and he’s asked for this match for a very simple reason. He wants to outdo Bishop Steele and David Helms.”

 

Knots: “Well I’m all for that. Those morons deserve to be upstaged. They’re now re-invented and more annoying than ever!”

 

Dawson: “We’ve seen them en masse earlier, but Helms and Steele have to be watching this one.”

 

The bell sounds and Rachel Foxx just glares at Adam Riddick. Riddick just smirks and dares Rachel to come in. Rachel immediately runs at him and Riddick goes to grab her, but Rachel instead spears him back into the corner. She backs up and drives her shoulder into his ribs before backing up and thrusting her shoulder in again. She then backs up and does it again before getting up and starting to choke Adam against the corner. The referee walks in and calls for the break.

Rachel lets go and glares at the referee and Riddick then lunges and nails her with a back elbow to the back of her head. Rachel staggers forward and spins around and Riddick runs out and clotheslines her down.

 

Dawson: “Clothesline takes down Rachel, but I doubt Riddick thought Rachel would come in as she did.”

 

Knots: “Well she is a bit hard to handle and definitely is violent!”

 

Rachel stirs as Alex Jr. looks on and Riddick grabs her and hoists her up and knees her in the ribs. He then hoists her up and hits a gutwrench into a stomachbuster. He then throws her down and goes for the pin.

Rachel kicks out. Riddick turns and grabs Rachel by the hair and drags her up before nailing her hard with a right hand. Rachel stumbles back and Riddick nails her again. Rachel falls back to the ropes and Riddick grabs her and goes to fire her into the ropes, but Rachel spins through, but Riddick then runs at her and clotheslines her down again. He then turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out again. She rolls over and starts to get up only for Riddick to drag her up by the hair. Alex Jr. winces as Rachel smirks a bit. Riddick then pulls back on her hair and then drops her with a backbreaker.

 

Knots: “Riddick showing some anger and viciousness of his own.”

 

Sharper: “Fighting fire with fire. Rachel is known for taking no prisoners and Riddick may be doing the same. Taking the fight to her and just brawling with the Suicide Queen.”

 

Rachel stirs and starts to get up and Riddick grabs her. Riddick drags her back up and knees her in the back. He then grabs her in an inverted front face lock only for Rachel to flip through. She then grabs Riddick and throws him back with a mat slam. Riddick rolls over and starts to pull himself up and Rachel turns and runs into the ropes before bouncing off them and hitting a flipping neckbreaker. She then turns and gets up before stomping Riddick in the face a few times. Riddick rolls over and covers his face as Rachel continues to stomp at him. Riddick rolls out of the floor and walks around and Rachel just walks along the ropes before slingshotting herself onto the apron and then jumping up and dropkicking Riddick in the back of the head before falling to the ground. Both fall to the mats and Rachel slowly gets up, smiling before grabbing Riddick and lifting him up and biting him in the forehead.

 

Sharper: “My God! She’s biting him!”

 

Dawson: “Just pure viciousness!”

 

Knots: “And that’s not the fun biting. That’s the painful, you’re going to have a scar version!”

 

Dawson: “Riddick may be regretting challenging Rachel to prove a point. I doubt Rachel likes that.”

 

Sharper: “Rachel may be proving a point herself using Riddick!”

 

Rachel rips away and Riddick walks around the ringpost, holding his head in pain. He rolls into the ring and Rachel then hops onto the apron. Riddick slowly starts to pull himself up, touching his forehead, checking for blood before Rachel springboards to the top rope and dives forward and diving bulldog. She then turns and goes for the pin.

Riddick kicks out. Rachel looks up and glares at the referee before getting up. She then turns and grabs Riddick and lifts him up before shrieking and kicking him in the ribs. She then kicks him again hard before kicking him a third time and setting up for a Foxx Girl Stunner, only for Riddick to push her away. She bounces chest first off the turnbuckle and turns around only for Riddick to lift her up and spin through with a spinebuster. Riddick then kneels up over her.

 

Dawson: “Spinebuster out of the corner!”

 

Sharper: “Planted with authority and Riddick just hit may have secured victory with that spinebuster.”

 

Riddick gets up and looks around before turning around and stepping through the ropes to the apron. He then starts to climb up to the top rope. Rachel remains down a bit away from the corner and Alex Jr. yells at Rachel to move. Riddick meanwhile gets to the top rope and then attempts a frog splash. Rachel, however, rolls out of the way. Riddick hits hard and rolls over, holding his ribs in pain as the crowd roars. We then see Starr, Thorn, Helms and Bishop run down from the back. The crowd cheers as we see Helms and Bishop lead the way. Rachel gets up and Helms immediately runs her over with a clothesline. The referee calls for the bell as Alex Jr. enters the ring and gets up and Bishop kicks Riddick in the side of the head, knocking him over.

 

Dawson: “The Misfits...well the former Misfits. We just heard how Davis is going for revenge against Starr later, but the former Misfits may be going for some revenge here.”

 

Knots: “How is this fair?! Come on! They’re ruthlessly attacking Rachel, Alex Jr. and Adam Riddick! It’s not fair!”

 

Sharper: “The Misfits, until we know where they’ll be called, they’re at least showing solidarity, but they’re telling Hudson they have to take on all of them if they want to go after Thorn!”

 

Riddick rolls over and slowly stirs, half out of it. He then starts to get up and Bishop then lifts him up before kneeing him in the ribs as Starr nails Alex Jr. with a kick to the ribs and then turns and fires him at Thorn who hip tosses him onto Rachel. Alex Jr. gets back up and Thorn kicks him in the ribs before lifting him up and spiking him with the Prickly Heat. Starr then turns and springboards to the top rope. He looks around before diving off and hitting the Shooting Five Star, as Helms pulls out a table on the floor.

 

Sharper: “Shooting Five Star on Alex Jr. Rachel is still down and slowly stirring.”

 

Knots: “Oh come on! They’ve got furniture!”

 

Helms lifts the table up before unfolding the legs. Rachel stirs and Thorn turns and jumps up and nails her with a calf kick. Helms then places the table out on the floor in front of the announce tables. Riddick, half out of it, is hoisted back up by Bishop Steele and Helms rolls into the ring. He then looks at Riddick before then turning and looking at the table. He then turns to Bishop and shakes his head. Bishop then drags Riddick up through the ropes as Thorn turns around and walks over to Helms. Helms just shakes his head, suddenly very reluctant. Thorn talks to him as Starr turns to the camera in the corner and steps in front of it.

 

Starr: “Hudson! Come on! Come and get us! You want to attack us from behind....well, we do THAT better than you AND we’ve got a few obstacles if you want to!”

 

Bishop then hoists Riddick up and lifts him up before just slamming him down with a front lifting spinebuster through the table off the apron. The crowd ohs as Riddick just goes out of it. Bishop then stands on the apron and looks at Riddick and smiles. Helms then suddenly snaps out of whatever he was in and high fives Bishop. Bishop then turns to Thorn and shrugs a bit. Thorn looks lost. The group then continue to stand in the ring as Rachel and Alex Jr. are down and Riddick is out on the floor.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns and we see the Breakdown logo before we cut back to the scene during the commercials.

 

Dawson: “Welcome back to Breakdown and before, the Misfits, came out and attacked mainly Riddick, but also took out half of Bad Company.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. For NO reason!”

 

Dawson: “Well to deliver a message to Hudson...”

 

Sharper: “But Rachel Foxx, upon being helped up...well, she’s not going to help her case.”

 

A freeze shot comes up before showing Rachel being lifted up by two officials. Alex Jr. starts to stir, holding his ribs only for Rachel to suddenly nail the one official with a forearm and then drop another with a Foxx Girl Stunner. She then gets up and yells at both.

 

Rachel: “This is fair! You don’t want me to be out of control! Huh! THAT was out of control!”

 

Rachel then starts to laugh maniacally as Alex Jr. walks over and goes to help her. Rachel then turns and just kisses him on the side of the head as the officials order her out of the ring.

 

The scene then switches backstage to see the Misfits all going back into their locker room together. Starr just smiles as Thorn and Helms take up the rear of the group.

 

Starr: “Now that’s how you deliver a message. Hudson wants to sneak around, then we’re going to show him how its done. This is a new day for us, and we’re going to be a united front.”

 

Bishop: “Damn right. This has been fun.”

 

Starr: “And it’s going to keep being that way.”

 

Starr and Bishop continue to enjoy their work as they walk farther into the locker room. Thorn then stops Helms at the door.

 

Thorn: “Hey....you alright?”

 

Helms: “Yeah...fine.”

 

Thorn: “You didn’t look it. You froze up when you finally got your chance to knock Riddick’s block off.”

 

Helms just looks away before taking a deep breath.

 

Helms: “I just had a bit of a flash back to Tactical Warfare. Been a bit gunshy. It’s fine. I’m getting through it.”

 

Thorn: “You sure? If you need someone to talk to, I’m here man. We all are.”

 

Helms: “I’m fine.”

 

Thorn: “Alright....”

 

Helms then pats his friend on the back and walks off as Thorn continues to look a bit concerned and we return to ringside.

 

Dawson: “Well the tactics Starr, Thorn, Helms and Bishop they’re using, I may not approve, but it’s making a strong statement.”

 

Knots: “But not all is good in happy land.”

 

Sharper: “Well Helms maybe is having some residual from Out of Control where he was driven face first into that flaming cricket bat.”

 

Knots: “Great. We’re going to feel bad for them when they ruthlessly attacked three people!”

 

Dawson: “We know Bishop and Helms do not like Riddick and Riddick had been doing what he could to antagonize them. As I said, the message they’re sending is clear. Mess with one, you mess with all.”

 

Katie Steward vs. Damian Angel

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Dawson: “Here we go. This match between Damian Angel and Katie Steward and is more of Katie Steward looking to prove herself as a role-model.”

 

Sharper: “A bit of over-reaction on Breakdown two weeks ago, but Damian Angel is much will to oblige. Katie Steward has been a thorn in the side of Sasha Drachewych for months and Damian has exploited that to make CHBK’s life difficult.”

 

The lights in the arena dim and Katie is heard laughing as “My Addiction” by Kids of Survival plays on the speaker system. Pink lights fly around the arena as images of Katie Steward are seen on the video screen getting the SCW Fans out of their seats and on their feet. Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtain wearing her long white coat and a shiny tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair which is now has black streaks running through it. Katie smiles at the live crowd and poses on the stage and it gets rise out of fans. Suddenly stepping out from behind Katie and taking their place on either side of her are Robin Brooks and Paris Dannon. Three spotlights center on the ladies and all three women standing in their own spotlight, pink for Katie, white for Paris and red for Robin. Each shows off their most diabolic smile which shows off their true intentions. Robin and Paris both turn towards and point at Katie. Nodding her head at her new team mates, she then opens her coat up revealing her sexy wrestling attire. This draws massive heat from those in attendance and the ladies turn their noses up to trio on stage.

The three ladies start their walk down to ringside as TJ Johnson steps out from behind the curtain and follows them. They make it halfway as a fan at ringside catches Katie’s attention with a sign that reads “Damian for Role-Model of the Year”. Katie laughs at the fans as TJ Johnson jumps out in front and grabs the sign from the fan and he exchanges a few choice words with him. After a few intense moments with the fan, Katie, Robin and Paris continue their way to the ring.

At ringside, Katie folds her arms over chest and looks back at TJ Johnson as he run by and quickly enters into the ring and grabs the microphone from the ring announcer. He waves them out of the ring. Katie fixes her hair at ringside and walks over to the steel ring step and awaits her introduction.

TJ Johnson: Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my honor and privilege to introduce to you the greatest collection of female talent in wrestling today. Introducing first the IWC’s Black Widow Robin Brooks…

Robin Brooks walks up the steps and steps over the middle ropes and enters the ring. She walks over to the corner and she raises her arms in the air trying to get those in attendances riled up for Paris and Katie and the fans boo her throughout the whole thing. A few cat calls can also be heard from the men in the crowds.

TJ Johnson: Paris Dannon…

Paris Dannon steps up the steps and onto the apron and poses for the fans as million flashes from their cameras can be seen blinding the cameraman and a hail of boos at the same time. The camera returns to Katie Steward standing at ringside as she fixes her coat and looks up spreading her arms out and smiles big for her glorious introduction as the fans already begin their booing.

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

Katie walks up the steel ring steps and walks on the apron. She bents down enters the rings under the middle rope. She walks over to the opposite corner of Robin and climbs onto the ropes and takes off her coat revealing her beautiful wrestling attire to the live crowd as the fans snap a shot of their Goddess. Katie jumps down and walks to the other corner and climbs up on the middle ropes as the lighting returns to normal and the music dies and Katie does one last pose for the fans to get their shot. Gigi Steward silently walks down from the back, with little fan-fare, the focus clearly on Katie Steward.

TJ Johnson steps out of the ring and heads over and joins the announcer team for some unbiased journalism.

 

Sharper: “And the focus is entirely on Katie Steward. Gigi Steward just coming down towards the end and more secretly than anything.”

 

Knots: “I guess Katie wants to prove to Gigi that she’s the better role-model. Self-servingness to the extreme here and we’re going to be joined by the loudest asshole in the business, TJ Johnson.”

 

Johnson slowly gets in and Katie then turns to Gigi and starts to talk to her before turning around and walking over to Damian and Damian, without flinching, just drills Katie with a hard right, knocking her down to her knees, getting a roar from the crowd. Katie gets up and Damian grabs her and takes her over with a side headlock. He then pulls up and Katie shrieks, but Damian keeps her down. Katie rolls around as TJ starts to yell in the headset. She rolls over to her knees and Damian willingly gets up to his feet before then drilling her with an open palm strike to the top of the head. Katie staggers back and Damian grabs Katie and whips her into the ropes. Katie bounces off the ropes and Damian nails her with a back elbow and Katie rolls over as Damian just slowly starts to walk around.

 

Dawson: “Damian just taking apart Katie at the moment.”

 

Johnson: “Yeah. You would say that. Already trying to put Katie down.”

 

Sharper: “Are you blind? Damian is in control. Katie has been on the defensive.”

 

Johnson: “And she’s brilliant at it!”

 

Gigi just watches, leaning on the apron, somewhat unimpressed. Damian grabs Katie and hoists her up before then hooking her arm and throwing her over with a snap suplex. He then rolls over and goes for the pin.

Katie kicks out. Damian turns and gets up as Katie starts to stir. She rolls over and gets up and Damian grabs her. He then pushes her into the ropes before whipping her across the ring. Katie bounces off the ropes and Damian goes to hip toss her, but Katie spins through and kicks Damian in the ribs. She then nails him with a forearm and then a kick to the ribs. The crowd boos as Damian staggers back and Katie nails him again. Damian spins around into the corner and Katie walks after Damian before moving into the corner and hammering away at Damian with several forearms in the jaw. Katie hits a couple before backing away and smiling. She poses as the crowd boos. Damian then steps out and grabs Katie by the throat before lifting her up and throwing her back into the corner. She bounces out and Damian then scoops her up and drops her with a snap sidewalk slam.

 

Sharper: “Ah, great move. Sidewalk slam. Down goes Katie Steward.”

 

Knots: “She’s showing Gigi a lot. How to get dropped on your head. How to be manhandled. Great role-model.”

 

Johnson: “You know Jonathan...you’re just jealous that no one cares about you like Katie cares about me. She’s maybe having some problems in the ring, but she’ll turn it around. Why? She’s just that good!”

 

Damian turns and stomps Katie in the face. She then turns and reaches onto the ropes before pulling herself up. Damian then turns and grabs her and places her on the ropes before placing his knee across the back of her head, pushing down. Katie struggles to breathe. Gigi just walks past Katie as Damian continues to push down. Damian then grabs Katie and slowly lifts her up before nailing her with a chop. Katie winces and Damian then whips her into the corner. Katie hits the corner and Damian turns and runs after her only for Katie to get her boot up. Damian staggers out. Katie then stays in the corner and Damian runs back towards Katie. Katie gets her boot up again. Katie then turns around and climbs up to the top rope. Damian turns around and Katie then dives off and takes him down with a moonsault. The crowd ohs and Katie goes for the pin.

Damian kicks out.

 

Dawson: “Nearfall, and that moonsault nearly turned it all the way around.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. But close only counts-“

 

Johnson: “Who cares? I just hear white noise. You know, the kind of white noise that should just SHUT UP!”

 

Damian rolls over and Katie then grabs him and drags him up before then dropping him with a DDT. She turns and goes for another pin.

Damian kicks out. Katie rolls over and gets up as Damian stirs. She then turns and looks at Gigi as Robin and Paris just watch Gigi. Gigi turns to the ring as Katie grabs Damian and drags him up. She then kicks him in the ribs and smiles before hooking Damian’s head between her legs. She then goes to lift him up, but Damian blocks it and backdrops Katie over. The crowd roars and Katie gets back up only for Damian to hit a throat thrust. Katie staggers and Damian turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and attempts a clothesline, but Katie ducks and Damian stops only for Katie to drill him in the back of the head with a clothesline.

 

Sharper: “Oh! What great ring presence.”

 

Knots: “Oh damn it. We’re going to hear about this-“

 

Johnson: “Damn right. Brilliant move. Ducked and then caught him. So quick! Lightning fast. Look at what Gigi can learn from her Goddess.”

 

Damian slowly gets up as Katie then turns and drives her elbow into the back of his head. Damian drops down. Katie then smiles before turning and running into the ropes. She bounces off the ropes and Damian turns and suddenly grabs her by the throat. The crowd roars only for Katie to kick Damian in the knee. Damian winces and Katie then grabs the arm of Damian before quickly hooking the other. Gigi then turns away as Katie hits the Platinum Blonde. The crowd boos and Katie then rolls Damian over for the pin.

The crowd boos as Katie rolls off of Damian. She then smiles before starting to look around. The referee walks over and Katie demands he raise her hand. He does and Katie then turns to Gigi as Gigi turns and starts to walk towards the back. Katie just turns and looks at Gigi concerned before getting up and walking over to the ropes. Johnson leaves the announce table to enter the ring.

 

Dawson: “Katie Steward manages to get the win, but Katie seems to be more concerned with Gigi.”

 

Sharper: “She never really seemed to be very concerned with the match. Perhaps something is on her mind. I don’t know.”

 

Johnson enters the ring as Robin and Paris do as well and Katie just continues to watch Gigi as she starts to leave. She then quickly drops down to the floor to follow her adopted daughter as the scene slowly fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns and we see Gigi Steward walking through the backstage area looking down and, seemingly quite concerned about something. Katie Steward can be seen walking up behind her, slowly catching up.

 

Katie: “Gigi!”

 

Gigi stops and slowly turns around. Katie walks up to her, rather unhappy

 

Katie: “Gigi! What are you doing? I give you a performance you can learn from over and over again and you walk away!”

 

Gigi just looks down before looking up at Katie.

 

Katie: “What is going on? Don’t tell me that Damian Angel already got to you. I just clearly showed I’m better than him. I mean, come on, I’m Katie Steward.”

 

Gigi: “Katie....”

 

Katie: “The Queen of Queens. Your Goddess. You know. The Center of the Free World-“

 

Gigi: “Katie!”

 

Katie pauses, shocked by Gigi’s reaction.

 

Gigi: “Sorry...I’ve just been thinking....I need to finish something first before I return to being taken under your wing...”

 

Gigi then turns and walks away.

 

Katie: “Gigi? Gigi!”

 

Paris, Robin and TJ return to Katie’s side.

 

Katie: “Hmph! Must be going through the terrible twos or something.”

 

Robin: “Ah....yeah....”

 

Andrew Samuel Pugh vs. Alex Desoubrais Jr.

 

The lights go off as ASP's new music blast through the PA system.

I know way too many people here right now that I didn’t know last year
who the ---- are y’all
I swear it feels like the last few nights we’ve been everywhere and back
but I just can’t remember it all
what am I doing, what am I doing

As the chorus begins to play, ASP, Andrew Samuel Pugh struts out to the ramp and plays to the crowd, receiving a pop from the fans. ASP soon walks down to the ring, waves and points to some of his "loyal" fans. ASP slides into the rings and throws a hand signal to all his fans, getting a few fans to follow suit while many boo him.

 

Dawson: “ASP has continued to struggle as of late, but tonight, he has a chance to quickly make his stock raise.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. He can take out a former Adrenaline Champion. And a pissed off one at that.”

 

“Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me” plays throughout the arena and the lights strobe around the entrance way as Alex Desoubrais Jr. in a fur coat and sunglasses, walks out from the back. Rachel Foxx walks out with him. Alex Jr. admires the crowd before stopping and posing at the top of the entrance way. The crowd boos and Desoubrais Jr. makes his way down to the ring before walking over to the steel steps. Rachel Foxx follows him and walks around the ring. He walks up them and looks into the ring. He enters the ring before spinning around and looking to the crowd behind him with his arms outstretched, getting furious boos from the crowd. He then slides off his coat and looks around before placing the coat on the outside. He then leans back into his corner.

 

Sharper: “A bit of support in the form of another angry individual in the Suicide Queen, Rachel Foxx.”

 

Knots: “Angry may be just the understatement of the year. She’s seething inside, especially after the Misfits came out earlier.”

 

Dawson: “Well they’re not the Misfits anymore.”

 

Knots: “Oh who cares!”

 

Sharper: “One has to wonder whether something may be handed down based on Rachel’s reaction to the attack earlier when she struck two more referees!”

 

The bell sounds and Alex Desoubrais Jr. just shakes his head as he looks at ASP. ASP just looks at Alex Jr. and smirks before leaning back on the ropes. Alex Jr. continues to look at ASP with disdain before starting to walk over and ASP then suddenly comes out from the ropes and nails Alex Jr. with a hard right. He then nails him with another before kicking him in the ribs and whipping him into the ropes. Alex Jr. bounces off the ropes and ASP attempts a clothesline, but Alex Jr. ducks and wraps around ASP before dropping him with a DDT. He quickly rolls over into a pin.

ASP kicks out. He rolls over and slowly pulls himself up and Alex Jr. runs over and clubs him hard in the back of the head. ASP turns and Alex Jr. nails him with a chop and ASP falls through the ropes and onto the apron.

 

Dawson: “Alex Jr. wasting little time in going after Pugh.”

 

Sharper: “Pugh may not have the success of some of his peers, but he is equally dangerous in that ring. Desperation can be a great equalizer.”

 

ASP starts to pull himself up and Alex Jr. turns and walks away from the ropes. He grabs the attention of the referee as Rachel Foxx runs over and clips the leg out from under ASP and ASP falls face first on the apron before rolling down to the floor. The crowd ohs and Rachel Foxx then walks around the ring. Alex Jr. then turns and walks over to the ropes and drops down to the floor. He bends over and grabs ASP before turning and rolling him into the ring. Alex Jr. hops onto the apron before grabbing the top rope and quickly hitting a slingshot elbow drop to the chest. He then goes for the pin.

ASP kicks out. Alex Jr. turns and smacks the canvas in anger. He then turns and grabs Alex Jr. and locks him into a reverse chinlock.

 

Knots: “There we go. Alex Jr. showing ASP how it’s done. The veteran.”

 

Sharper: “Calling Alex Desoubrais Jr. a veteran is a bit odd, but he is the more experienced of the two.”

 

Alex Jr. keeps the hold on and pulls back. ASP winces and slowly starts to reach around. The crowd boos a bit as Alex Jr. keeps the hold on. He pulls back still. ASP manages to turn and reaches out. He then manages to get his knees under him as Alex Jr. stands up, keeping the hold on. ASP then buries his elbow into the ribs of Alex. He rears back and nails him again. Alex Jr. turns and staggers back and ASP then kicks him in the ribs and whips him into the ropes. Alex Jr. bounces off the ropes and ASP lifts him up and hits a flapjack. Alex pops up and turns around and ASP kicks him in the ribs and drops him with a DDT. He rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Alex Jr. kicks out. Rachel snaps at the referee as ASP gets up. He then turns to Rachel Foxx and smirks before turning and driving the point of his elbow into the head of Alex Jr. Alex Jr. rolls over and ASP gets up and drives his elbow into the face of Alex Jr. again.

 

Dawson: “ASP just grounding and pounding Alex Desoubrais Jr. That anger isn’t helping Alex Jr. at all.”

 

Sharper: “Remember what I said about being dangerous. ASP may not have the stats on his side, but he’s got the heart and guts.”

 

ASP grabs Alex Jr. and slowly lifts him up. He nails him with a hard right and then turns and whips him into the corner. Alex Jr. hits hard. ASP turns and runs after him and nails him with a sandwiching clothesline in the corner. Alex Jr. staggers forward and ASP then grabs Alex Jr. and pulls him out before hitting a Russian leg sweep down to the mat. He rolls through for the pin.

Rachel Foxx reaches in, but grabs nothing and the referee stops and turns as Alex Jr. kicks out. ASP turns and looks at Rachel before starting to move towards the ropes. He kicks at the ropes as Alex Jr. then slowly gets up. ASP continues to focus on Rachel as Alex Jr. gets to his feet.

 

Sharper: “Don’t focus on the girl. Focus on Alex!”

 

Knots: “But I don’t blame him for focusing on the girl! Rachel Foxx is someone to be watching for a number of reasons!”

 

ASP just looks at Rachel and reaches through and Rachel backs away. He then backs up before Alex Jr. spins him around and drills him with a snap superkick to the jaw. The crowd ohs as ASP hits the mat. Alex Jr. then hooks the leg for the pin.

Alex Jr. gets up and Rachel then slides into the ring. Alex Jr. gets up and has his arm raised and Rachel suddenly turns and stomps ASP in the face. She then stomps him again and again and again as the crowd starts to boo. Alex Jr. celebrates for a moment before the referee suddenly turns around as Rachel goes down for a series of mounted punches. The referee then grabs Rachel and pulls her off and Rachel nails him with a hard back elbow. She then drops down and starts to hammer away on ASP again. Alex Jr. finally turns around and sees Rachel attacking ASP and out of instinct, he runs over and grabs Rachel, trying to control her only for Rachel to quickly jump up and hit Alex Jr. with the Foxx Girl Stunner. The crowd ohs and Rachel rolls over before stomping ASP in the face and turning around. She then sees that she’s taken down Alex Jr.

 

Sharper: “She just hit her own boyfriend with that stunner!”

 

Knots: “Well it was clearly an accident!”

 

Dawson: “Was it? CHBK said she was out of control. She’s twice snapped tonight and this time, just took out her own ally!”

 

Davis and Glacier run down from the back and Rachel looks around as several other officials start to come down afterwards. Glacier and Davis enter the ring and Davis quickly walks over to Rachel as Rachel looks away, clearly disappointed in herself as Glacier just stands in the ring, almost to act as another peacekeeper. The officials enter, going over to check on the knocked-down official before checking on ASP and Alex Jr. Rachel continues to look around as the scene switches backstage.

 

Backstage we see Dark Triad in their locker room, Syren still beaming, partially from her earlier “success” and because Lucas Knight, complete with his entourage is in the room.

 

Ravyn: “Alright, well...”

 

Knight: “Don’t worry love. We’ll get this figured out. CHBK’s jerking us all around and as a united front, we’re good. I mean, the evidence against him is mounting up. He’s clearly flirting with you all and he’s giving out shots to people that aren’t us, when we’re clearly the top rising stars here.”

 

Ravyn: “Well at least we agree there.”

 

Syren: “Yay! Everyone is happy!”

 

Ravyn: “Yeah, Zoe. We are....”

 

Ravyn rolls her eyes a bit before walking back to the back of the locker room to grab her Majestic Valkyrie Championship.

 

Knight: “Plus, we have a secret weapon if we need it.”

 

Syren: “Oh?”

 

Christy Matthews then leans on Lucas Knight.

 

Matthews: “Me!”

 

Syren looks a bit disappointed before Knight looks a bit concerned. Knight then turns.

 

Knight: “Let’s go.”

 

Syren then skips and runs right past Matthews and Knight. Slade follows her as Knight and Matthews follow. Lohan and Ravyn are left in the room and slowly move afterwards. Lohan just looks to Ravyn and Ravyn just nods.

 

Ravyn: “I know. I don’t trust him....but he’s the best ally we can find.”

 

Ravyn and Lohan then turn and walk out of the locker room, both brandishing their unofficial title belts.

 

Dawson: “When we return, Knight, Syren, Ravyn and Lohan...will be in action! Don’t go anywhere!”

 

The scene then fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Lucas Knight, Syren, Ravyn Taylor & Brittany Lohan vs. Gable Winchester, Ashley Cherry, Stacy Kissinger & Fred Debonair

 

The opening strains to “Everywhere I Go” start to echo around the arena as gold lighting starts to pulse around the arena, then begin to pulse to the beat of the introduction. Once the main verse starts, Gable Winchester walks from the back, nodding his head and moving his hands up and down in time to his theme song. The fans start to cheer, some ecstatically, whilst some out of respect for what he has done so far in his young career. Once he gets to the barricade he looks out at the fans and shows that he isn’t too egotistical for the fans. Smiling, he sidesteps down the ramp, close to the barricade, frantically slapping all the palms he comes into contact with before reaching the bottom of the ramp. He spins around on the spot with his palms facing upwards before sliding into the ring and nodding his head to thumping beat of his theme tune.

He runs and leaps to the top turnbuckle and sweeps his hand in the direction of the people in the crowds and gestures for them to cheer him on louder before he gets down from the turnbuckle and smiles to himself about the reception the crowds give him, brushing his wild dreadlocks from his face as he waits. As the vocals are heard at the beginning of Haley Scarnato's "Girl's Night Out", Stacy Kissinger emerges from the backstage area with a microphone in hand. She stands on the stage wearing a very short white skirt and a plain white halter top. She does a slow 360 degree spin just so everyone in the arena can get a chance at checking her out. She begins singing the first few words of the first verse as she's completing her spin. At the end of the spin, a set of gold pyro explodes going from right to left on the stage...and then back to the right. As soon as it disappears only leaving smoke in its place, Stacy begins her descent down the wrestler ramp, heading to the ring still singing into the microphone. The females just warmly accept her as she gets closer and closer to the ring. When she gets to the ringside area, Stacy hops up onto the apron. At this point she places the microphone down on the apron and climbs up to the top rope before doing a beautiful, successful backflip into the ring. She then smiles warmly as she heads for a corner of the ring, getting ready to focus on the match at hand.

 

Dawson: “Seems like Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger have gotten to know each other. Stacy came out to celebrate with Gable last Breakdown after he defeated Lucas Knight.”

 

Knots: “First off, why? Secondly, who cares?!”

 

An extended intro to Jadakiss's "Kiss of Death" begins to play...

If they ask what happened
Tell them it's the Kiss of Death

The crowd cheers as a little more instrumental plays for the song followed by...

If they ask what happened
Tell them it's the Kiss of Death
Tell them, Kiss
The Kiss of Death

"Better Version" by Shinedown begins to play leading to more cheers from the crowd. Ashley Roberts comes from behind the curtain and pumps up the crowd with a smile on her face. She slaps some of the fans hands on the way towards the ring. She enters the ring and outstretches her arms as the crowd continues to cheer. She hops on the turnbuckle and looks out into the crowd, soaking in the energy and raising her fists in the air. She readies herself for the match by stretching out using the turnbuckles.

 

Dawson: “Ashley Cherry isn’t going to be too calm in a moment.”

 

Sharper: “That may be an understatement with Brittany Lohan taking her title at Tactical Warfare.”

 

Knots: “Not her title. Her trinket. She was carrying it around, trying to hold onto the past and confusing our fans. She was not champion at the time. She was an imposter!”

 

The lights in the arena begin to die down as red and blue spotlights resembling Police cars circle throughout the arena as sirens wail all around. Suddenly the key intro for "Empire State of Mind" begins to play as Fred Debonair steps out from behind the curtain, he holds his head up high and raises his arms nodding as the crowd roar with approval. The SCW Underground Championship sits over his shoulder.

He begins to walk down the aisle and stops halfway before throwing up his hands once more and sporadic pyro's blast through from left to right behind him, on the stage. He stalks toward the ring before sliding in, underneath the bottom rope and jumping up onto a turnbuckle once more, hands in the air as the music slowly dies down and the house lights come back up.

 

Sharper: “Here comes an actual champion then, I guess. The SCW Underground Champion and now he’s got to deal with Lucas Knight still being a thorn in his side.”

 

Knots: “Well better than in his ass.”

 

Sharper: “May as well be there. Knight wants another shot at his title.”

 

Out go the lights with a flick of a switch causing everyone in attendance to wonder what's going to happen next, then without warning their thoughts were answered with a booming voice over the P.A System while Gasoline by Porcelain & the Tramps plays…

Don't get in my face
Don't invade my space
I'll put you in your place
I'll only tell you once
I'll never tell you twice
And this is me being nice

You cross me once and you'll see
It's like a match in gasoline
Gasoline

With the pyro erupting, the stage entrance lights up and pacing back and forth like a caged animal is a silhouette of a man with a hood drawn over their head. They then stop and in doing so the arenas lights illuminate once more and standing there motionless is Lucas Knight. Shortly After we see two more people step out from behind the curtain, Christy Matthews and Nathan Slade. Christy has a mic tucked away in her back pocket for just a moment as she now removes it with a smile to the crowd.

Christy Matthews: Ladies and Gentleman, Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada. He weighed in tonight at an incredible two-hundred and twenty-five pounds being accompanied to the ring by Nathan Slade and myself Christy Matthews… LUCAS KNIGHT!!

Knight throws his head back forcing the hood off extending his arms to soak up the atmosphere which is full of jeers and boos. The look on Knight’s face says it all as all three descend the ramp towards the ring. When arriving at ringside Knight slides in under the bottom rope and scales the nearest turnbuckle only to remove his jacket and tossing it to the ground outside pointing at his wife with a grin before hopping down and testing the ropes as Nathan Slade Knight’s muscle enters the ring, with Matthews, watching Knight’s opponents.

 

Dawson: “How about that? Christy Matthews and Nathan Slade getting right in the ring to act as security.”

 

Knots: “Do you blame them?”

 

Sharper: “Well Knight could have waited on the floor.”

 

Knots: “And then he’d give his opponents an advantage. Knight is a great tactician. Just like allying himself with Dark Triad. It’s a brilliant move. They have common interests. They want their opportunities and they’ll do anything to get them.”

 

Dawson: “More accurately, it’s an alliance of convenience to put forth a united front against CHBK and bully him into conceding title opportunities.”

 

The lights flicker around the arena for a moment before dimming as spotlights focus on the stage. “I Made It” by Kevin Rudolf feat. Cash Money Heroes hits the PA system as the screens flicker with the words “Dark Triad” repeatedly.

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I’ve known it all my life
I made it, I made it

I used to dream about
The life I’m living now
I know that there’s no doubt
I made it, I made it

As the music blasts around the arena and the spotlights remain focused on the stage the curtains part and Syren and Ravyn Taylor walk out, Ravyn wearing a pink fur cloak and hood while Syren wears her pink ring-jacket with the fur-lined hood. The two stand back to back as Syren strikes a pose and raises the SCW Women’s Championship above her head, singing along to the chorus of the song. As the two Dark Fantasy members pose on the stage the curtains part again and Brittany Lohan steps out on to the stage towering over her two partners. As the Dark Fantasy members stop their pose and head to the ring Lohan power walks down, walking around the ring as both members of Dark Fantasy hop up on to the apron and duck down under the middle rope, Syren shaking her ass as she does so in time with the song. Lohan storms up the ring steps and leaps over the top rope, standing in the middle of the ring with her arms crossed and looking powerful as Ravyn and Syren climb the turnbuckles, Ravyn striking a pose while Syren lifts the Women’s title above her head once again proudly and continues to sing along with the song, pointing at herself as she sings.

 

Dawson: “The divas of SCW are here.”

 

Knots: “Don’t let Katie Steward hear you say that. Or TJ. In fact, let’s home they watch Breakdown in the back on mute. I don’t want their shrieking to come out here again.”

 

Sharper: “Well, they may be preoccupied, but regardless, this is going to be a chaotic match and I don’t envy the referee here and wait a minute! Here we go!”

 

Syren turns around and Ashley Cherry runs at her and clotheslines her down. She then turns and runs at Brittany Lohan, tackling her down. The crowd roars as Ravyn turns and Stacy Kissinger runs over and kicks her in the ribs before turning and throwing her into the corner. Lucas Knight turns and runs at Debonair, but Debonair sidesteps him and throws him into the corner, before turning him around and chopping him in the chest and then nailing him with a hard right. Nathan Slade and Christy Matthews turn to Gable and Gable just smirks. He then turns and runs at Slade before Slade lifts him up, but Gable turns in the air and hits a crossbody on Christy. He then gets up and kicks Slade in the ribs before spinning him around and throwing him out of the ring.

 

Dawson: “Pure chaos! There’s ten people in that ring all going nuts!”

 

Knots: “And Gable just attacked the managers! What the hell was that?!”

 

Sharper: “What option did he have? They were the only people standing and they weren’t looking to be harbouring innocent thoughts!”

 

Syren starts to get up and Debonair nails Lucas Knight with several hard rights in the head. Knight nearly falls back, only for Debonair to kick him in the ribs and then push him against the turnbuckle, choking him with his foot. Knight struggles to breathe as Gable grabs Matthews and throws her through the ropes to the floor. Kissinger meanwhile hip tosses Ravyn out of the corner. Ravyn quickly rolls out of the ring as Syren gets up and runs over to Gable and jumps up on his back. Gable grabs her and the crowd roars before Gable walks to the middle of the ring. Kissinger sees this and runs over and clubs Syren in the ribs. Debonair steps off of Lucas and Lucas pulls himself to the floor. Syren gets up and Kissinger nails her with a forearm and she falls back to the ropes before rolling out of the ring. Ashley continues to hammer away at Lohan, as Lohan reaches over and starts to pull herself over to the ropes and starts to pull herself out of the ring and down to the floor. The crowd roars as Ashley reaches through the ropes yelling at Lohan. Dark Triad and Lucas Knight and his entourage all look up at the ring.

 

Dawson: “Winchester, Debonair, Kissinger and Cherry are standing tall!”

 

Sharper: “Oh boy! What a start! What’s going to happen? Can Knight and Dark Triad get back in this? We’re going to find out. Don’t go anywhere!”

 

The scene slowly fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns and we see Cherry just fuming on the apron as Kissinger hip tosses Ravyn Taylor down to the mat. Ravyn gets up and Kissinger kicks her in the ribs, knocking her back into the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Kissinger working on Ravyn Taylor. Ravyn saw a chance as the referee was trying to regain control, but Kissinger caught her.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. I guess she at least got something out of Infection.”

 

Kissinger chops Ravyn in the chest and then grabs her and whips her across the ring. Ravyn bounces off the ropes and Kissinger knees her in the ribs before turning and running into the ropes. She bounces off them and hits a running knee lift. She then turns and hooks the leg.

Ravyn kicks out. Kissinger turns and grabs Ravyn and slowly starts to pull her up. She nails her with a forearm before pushing her back into the ropes, but Ravyn pulls Kissinger by the hair and spins around and kicks her in the shin. Kissinger winces and Ravyn nails her with an uppercut. Kissinger stumbles back to the corner and Ravyn kicks her in the ribs. She then climbs up to the middle rope and nails Ravyn with a hard right and then another, but then pushes her off. Ravyn rolls through and Kissinger runs at Ravyn and Ravyn drop toe holds her down before reaching over. Syren just tags herself in and then enters. She quickly hits a leg drop to the back of Kissinger’s head. Ravyn then rolls out of the ring. Syren then grabs Kissinger and lifts her up before dropping her face first into her knee.

 

Dawson: “And in comes the SCW Women’s Champion.”

 

Knots: “The beautiful Women’s Champion. The dream of everyone here. And the REAL Solid Gold Sensation.”

 

Dawson: “You really turned on Kissinger after last week.”

 

Knots: “Well she had attitude problems and she went with Gable after Gable disappointed me. So yes.”

 

Sharper: “Your loyalty is impeccable...”

 

Syren then turns and climbs on top of Kissinger, getting some roars from the crowd before Syren hammers away on Kissinger with hard right hands. She then gets up and runs into the ropes before hitting another leg drop. She then turns and goes for the pin.

Kissinger rolls her shoulder off the canvas. She then starts to stir. Syren grabs her and slowly lifts her up and clubs her in the back. Syren then smiles before turning into the ropes and bouncing off them only for Stacy to lift her up and hit a flapjack. The crowd ohs and then cheers and Kissinger rolls over. Syren slowly gets up and Kissinger clotheslines Syren down before turning and tagging in Ashley Cherry. Cherry enters the ring and Syren gets up only for Cherry to grab her by the throat and force down, choking the life out of her.

 

Dawson: “She just choking the Women’s Champion!”

 

Sharper: “She’s taking out all of her frustrations! All of them here on Syren and Lohan wants in. She wants to stop this.”

 

Knots: “Well here she comes.”

 

Lohan enters the ring and Ashley gets up and runs at Lohan and tackles her down, but Lohan rolls her over before Ashley manages to wrap her legs around her chest and turn into a fujiwara armbar. The crowd roars as Ashley pulls up. Lohan yells in pain before reaching around, frantically going for the ropes. Syren starts to stir and Lohan continues to reach around before smacking the mat in pain. Syren then quickly runs over and stomps Ashley in the face. Ashley rolls over, letting go as Lohan rolls out of the ring, holding her arm in pain. Ashley gets up and Syren quickly drops her with a DDT. She then turns and tags in Lucas Knight. Knight enters the ring and looks at Ashley, smiling before just nudging her with his boot. The crowd boos as Syren exits to the apron.

 

Dawson: “Well now the only male member of the one team has Ashley Cherry in a bad way.”

 

Sharper: “He’s taking advantage of the situation that he’s been left, but Ashley Cherry did a lot of damage quickly. Not that Knight was ready to jump in there.”

 

Knots: “He’s a gentleman like that.”

 

Knight then nudges her again and Ashley slowly stirs before Knight suddenly runs across the ring and nails Debonair with a hard right and then nails Gable with a hard right. Kissinger swings and Knight grabs her by the arm before jerking her back, causing her to be pulled over the top rope and then fall hard to the mat. The crowd ohs and Knight backs up, laughing. Ashley suddenly rolls him up with a school boy.

The crowd roars and Debonair then turns as the referee turns and starts to pull him back to the corner. Knight slowly gets up as Ashley crawls towards the corner. She slowly starts to get over and Debonair exits to the apron as Ashley then tags in Debonair. Debonair re-enters and Knight gets up and is clotheslined down a third time.

 

Knots: “Okay. Lucas. New plan. Stay down!”

 

Sharper: “Three clotheslines by Gable and Debonair and Lucas Knight is getting turned inside out. He’s drawn the ire of the males on the opposing team!”

 

Dawson: “And Winchester hasn’t even been in this match yet.”

 

Sharper: “Debonair and Knight going at it now in what may be a visual of what Knight may get if he gets what he wants!”

 

Knight gets up and Debonair kicks him in the ribs and then nails him with a hard right. He spins him around and throws him into the rope. Debonair then jumps up and elbows him in the back of the head. He then grabs the rope and pulls it back, firing Knight back to the ground. He rolls through and Debonair turns and attempts a fourth clothesline, but Knight ducks. Debonair turns around and Knight drills him with an uppercut.

Debonair kicks out. Knight gets up and grabs Debonair. He then kicks Debonair in the ribs and drags him over to the Dark Triad corner and holds Debonair for Ravyn to nail him with a hard forearm. He then holds him for Syren who smacks him before turning to Lohan. Lohan doesn’t strike him. Instead she sticks out her arm for a tag. Knight smirks and tags in Lohan before backing up, still holding Debonair.

 

Knots: “What a gentleman!”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. Chivalry is alive and well in SCW. Knight is holding Debonair for three jezebels to strike him. That’s gentlemanly...”

 

Lohan then enters the ring and backs up against the ropes and attempts a clothesline. Debonair ducks and Lohan nails Knight. Knight falls to the mat as the crowd roars. Debonair then crawls over and tags in Gable. Gable enters the ring and Lohan turns and just smiles before daring him to come in. Gable shrugs and runs at Lohan and attempts a clothesline. Lohan ducks and Gable spins around and Lohan nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another before grabbing Gable and going to whip him across the ring, but Gable plants his feet and pulls Lohan into a snap belly to belly suplex.

Lohan kicks out. Knight quickly enters the ring and Gable gets up and nails him with a hard right, knocking him back down. The crowd cheers and Gable turns around and Lohan suddenly lifts up Gable and spinebusters him. The crowd ohs and Lohan looks down and smiles.

 

Knots: “Oh yeah! Plant him right in the mat!”

 

Sharper: “Pure strength and power by Brittany Lohan!”

 

Dawson: “Spinebusters Gable in the middle of the ring, thanks to a minor distraction by Lucas Knight.”

 

Knots: “Being a gentleman again!”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. He could take a bullet for one of them and he’d be a gentleman. Jonathan Knots with his high standards.”

 

Knight gets back up and looks around before looking at Debonair and spitting at him. Debonair enters the ring and immediately, Knight steps back and drops to the floor. He rolls out and starts to make his way away as Debonair drops down and runs after him, nailing him from behind. Knight rolls over in pain and starts to get up and Debonair grabs him and nails him with a hard right as Slade walks after them. Debonair nails Knight again and Slade drills Debonair in the back. Debonair falls forward and they all are up on the rampway. Lohan grabs Gable and slowly lifts him up before tagging in Syren. Syren enters the ring and kicks Gable in the ribs before wrenching his arm. Meanwhile, Knight, Debonair and Slade disappear to the back. Syren grabs Gable and goes to whip him into the ropes, but Gable plants his feet and gets his elbow up before turning and tagging in Ashley Cherry. Ashley enters the ring and Gable drops to the floor before stumbling around. The referee’s focus on Ashley as Ashley runs over and kicks Syren in the ribs before clotheslining her down, just then Gable turns and a figure hops the guardrail before running over and spearing Gable down. The man looks down and gets up and rips his hood back, revealing himself to be Savior. The crowd roars and Stacy drops down and nails Savior with a hard forearm.

 

Sharper: “This is pandemonium! Debonair and Knight have fought to the back. Savior just struck Gable!”

 

Knots: “And it’s pretty much four on one here! Stacy is going after Savior!”

 

Ashley sees this and then turns and runs into the ropes, getting tripped up by Christy Matthews that’s remained at the floor. She turns around and kicks through the ropes, knocking Matthews back. She then turns around and Syren grabs her by the head and hits the Total Makeover. She then rolls her over for the pin.

The crowd boos as Syren rolls off. “I Made It” plays as Stacy turns to the ring only for Savior to cuff her in the back of the head before hopping the barricade and running off over the barricade. They continue to celebrate in the ring as Stacy slowly looks up before turning and checking out on Gable.

 

Sharper: “Dark Triad dodges another bullet and with the help of Christy Matthews continues to make waves.”

 

Knots: “Come on CHBK. Give the world what they want...Dark Triad on top!”

 

Dawson: “Well that may be what you want...but we’re not going to get into that.”

 

Lohan enters the ring and joins the celebration with Syren and Ravyn as Christy slowly enters the ring as Stacy checks on Gable and the scene slowly fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns and the crowd roars as they see Dillusion, notably without any ninjas, looking around, eyes wandering around the interview area aimlessly. Jessica Winters then comes into view.

 

Jessica: “Ah....Dillusion?”

 

Dillusion: “Waffles?”

 

Jessica: “Excuse me?”

 

Dillusion: “Sorry....hungry.....what’s crackalackin’”

 

Jessica just blinks at that statement.

 

Jessica: “Um....well, are you alright? We haven’t seen you in a few weeks and last Breakdown, you returned....demanding money from Drew Weilacher.”

 

Dillusion: “No I didn’t.”

 

Jessica: “Uh....yes you did.”

 

Dillusion: “Says who?”

 

Jessica: “Everyone-“

 

Dillusion: “Well they’re lying! I would NEVER ask for money!”

 

Jessica: “You came to the ring last week and attacked Drew Weilacher demanding money. We all saw it.”

 

Dillusion: “Well I wasn’t there. I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about-“

 

However before Jessica can further press Dillusion, security comes in with Drew Weilacher trying to get to Dillusion.

 

Weilacher: “You crazy bastard! Want to take me on? Demand money! I’ll rip your face off!”

 

Dillusion jumps back and looks at Weilacher oddly.

 

Dillusion: “He’s losing it! I did not ask for money! Has everyone lost it here!”

 

Weilacher reaches at Dillusion.

 

Weilacher: “You son of a bitch.”

 

Winters runs off, trying not to get caught in between as Weilacher continues to try and get to Dillusion. Dillusion stands back completely confused as we slowly return to ringside.

 

Knots: “For the love of God...who keeps letting him in here?”

 

Sharper: “Well he’s now denying everything, but I hate to say it, I’m with Weilacher. Clearly it happened....”

 

Sketch Retro vs. Bishop Steele

 

The instrumental starts to play for Styx's 'Mr Roboto'. From above shines a light and before everyone’s eyes, as if by magic or teleportation or whatever, Master Roboto stands on the stage wearing his suit and tie, and of course, his helmet. The fans boo like crazy as he adjusts his tie and strolls down the ring.

Roboto: Ladies and gentlemen, may I present none other than the Lost Boy!

The crowd goes nuts at this but Roboto holds up his hand and waits for them to quiet down.

Roboto: He weighs in at 151 lbs and hails from beyond the Spectrum... Sketch Retro!

'Path to Decay' begins to play and a series of strange lights start blasting all around before conjugating in the middle of the stage. Almost as if he is being generated from those lights emerges the man known as Sketch Retro. The young teen slaps hands with the fans before sliding into the ring. He hopes to the first turnbuckle as the fans yell in mixed applause. He hops to the turnbuckle and pulls out a watergun filled with colored liquids of all colors. He shoots them at the audience who become colorful. He then does a backflip landing on his feet and crouching down, waiting for his opponent, backward crawling to one of the turnbuckles.

 

Knots: “Here comes the freak!”

 

Sharper: “Sketch Retro looking to continue his path in the Underground division. Now this is not an Underground Division match. But Bishop Steele is as underground as they come.”

 

The lights get dim and silence fills the arena in anticipation of the next match. ‘Forever’ cues of the PA system and the crowd gets hype and erupts. The lights start flickering orange and red. The chorus starts to play as the SCW-tron shows the nightlife in Atlanta, GA.

[Chorus:]
It may not mean nothing to ya'll
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man
I'm shutting shit down at the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man

After the chorus plays the curtains open and Alexis Steele walks out followed by Bishop Steele. The crowd starts to chant Perfection as he stands on the stage and soaks in the essence of the cheering and screaming of the fans. He then raises his arms and red and orange pyros go off simultaneously across the stage. He then makes his way to the ring while the first verse plays.

[Verse 1: Drake]
Last name ever, first name greatest
Like a sprained ankle boy I ain't nothing to play with
It started off local but thanks to all the haters
I know G4 pilots on a first name basis
And your city faded off to brown, nino
She insists she got more class, we know
Swimming in the money come and find me, nemo
If I was at the club you know I ball (Bald), chemo
Drop the mixtape that shit sounded like an album
Who'd have thought a country wide tour would be the outcome
Labels want my name beside the X like malcom
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one
Yeah, nigga I'm about my business
Killing all these rappers you would swear I had a hit list
Everyone who doubted me is asking for forgiveness
If you ain't been a part of it at least you got to witness
Bitches

While making his way down the ramp he touches hands with the fans
in the crowd showing love to his fans. He then climbs into the ring and holds the ropes for Alexis to get in. She poses in the middle of the ring as Bishop climbs the turnbuckle and raises his arms. The chorus plays will he smirks at the crowd as they cheer.

[Chorus:]
It may not mean nothing to ya'll
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man
I'm shutting shit down at the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man
Bishop then climbs down and stands behind Alexis in the center of the ring as she poses in front of him. He raises his hands again and red and orange pyros go off on the corner post as they stand in the center of the ring. The second verse plays.

The song continues to play throughout the arena. Bishop is focused and ready to things crackin.

Sharper: “One wonders what is going through Bishop Steele’s head.”

 

Dawson: “The first member of the Misfits in action tonight actually, even though we’ve seen them a lot.”

 

Knots: “Please tell me they won’t be coming out here.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. We’ll find out.”

 

Bishop Steele looks at Retro and Retro looks at him and starts to walk towards him. Bishop then lunges and Retro flips under him and behind him. He then gets up and jumps up and kicks Bishop in the chest. He then kicks him again before going to whip Bishop into the ropes. Bishop bounces off the ropes and just shoulders Retro down. Retro rolls back and into the ropes. He looks up and Bishop smirks. He then walks forward and Retro gets up and Bishop grabs Retro and just throws him over with a hip throw. Retro rolls over and gets back up and Bishop walks over and pushes him into the corner. Bishop then swings, but Retro ducks and Bishop hits the turnbuckle. He turns around and Retro springboard to the middle rope and kicks him in the head. Bishop spins around and walks along the ropes. The camera then turns and we see Jake Starr walking out from the back with Helms and Thorn as the crowd roars. Helms and Thorn have chairs in their hands.

 

Knots: “Ah damn it!”

 

Sharper: “Here come Thorn, Helms and Starr and this is going to get interesting.”

 

Dawson: “We saw them with Hudson and Davis. We’ve seen them with Riddick and Rachel. And now, they’ve made their presence felt here at ringside as their fellow team member faces Sketch Retro.”

 

Helms and Thorn come to ringside as Roboto looks around. Retro nails Bishop with a hard right as Thorn and Helms unfold their chairs and sit down at ringside. Starr walks up to the ring and looks up, leaning on the apron. He waves across the ring to Roboto, who just glares at him through his mask. Retro kicks Bishop and then pushes him into the corner. Retro then walks around to the middle of the ring before running at Bishop and jumping off his chest with a backflip kick. He lands on his feet before jumping up and kneeing Bishop in the face. He then snapmares him out of the corner before turning and springboarding to the top rope. He turns to the ring and jumps up and hits a flying senton. He then rolls over, holding his head before turning back to Bishop. He goes for the pin.

Bishop grabs the ropes and the crowd cheers a bit. Retro looks at the referee before turning to Roboto who points across the ring. Starr then waves at Retro and Retro just glares at him.

 

Dawson: “Retro just noticed that Starr is at the ring. Helms and Thorn are just watching.”

 

Knots: “Good for Retro. I thought he’d be too dumb to figure it out. Thank God for Roboto. I still don’t like this!”

 

Retro then turns and grabs Bishop, showing remarkable focus. He then lifts him up and nails him with a hard right. He then goes to whip Bishop into the ropes, but Bishop stops and pulls Retro in and lifts him up before dropping him down on his knee. Retro rolls over in pain. He then slowly starts to get up. Bishop then turns and runs at Retro before clotheslining him up and over the top rope and to the floor. Retro lands just a few feet away from Starr. Helms and Thorn just watch Retro, talking to each other as Starr turns and walks over to Retro. The referee warns Starr and Retro starts to get up. Starr then squats down and as Retro gets up, Starr smiles and leans on his hands. Retro moves away quickly before getting up. He then rolls into the ring and looks back at Starr before Bishop grabs Retro and hoists him up and throws him back with a high angle back suplex.

 

Sharper: “Oh God! Head first to the mat. Hard back suplex.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. And all thanks to Starr distracting him.”

 

Dawson: “He didn’t touch him and the referee watched him the entire way.”

 

Knots: “Doesn’t mean it’s fair!”

 

Retro rolls over and stirs and Bishop walks over and grabs him before hoisting him up and then sidewalk slamming him down to the mat. The crowd ohs and Bishop hooks the legs.

Retro kicks out. He rolls over and starts to stir as Jake Starr starts to walk around the ring. Roboto just watches him as Bishop lifts Retro up and turns before whipping him into the corner. Retro, however, stops and runs up to the middle rope and Bishop runs forward only for Retro to jump back and hit an inverted leg lariat bulldog on Bishop. He rolls over and gets up before seeing Starr starting to walk around the ring. He turns and looks at Starr and yells at him. Starr just points to Bishop as Roboto snaps at the referee.

 

Dawson: “This is getting a bit out of hand already. A shouting match is starting in this thing.”

 

Sharper: “Focus on Bishop kid. I may not like the tactics of Starr, but that doesn’t mean you have to be distracted by them!”

 

Bishop just continues to stir as Sketch tries to grab at Starr. Starr just backs up, ensuring the referee doesn’t see anything to lead to a disqualification. Sketch then backs up and Bishop Steele smirks as he slowly gets up behind them and grabs Sketch, pulling him back before rolling him up.

The crowd roars as Bishop lets go and rolls out of the ring. He then looks up at Sketch as Sketch turns and looks at him. Roboto just smacks the canvas in anger as Helms and Thorn stand up and start to applaud at ringside. Starr just smirks as Steele drops down to the floor and Starr walks over and applauds him.

 

Dawson: “Well that was certainly interesting.”

 

Knots: “The artists formerly known as the Misfits....great...more victims and more destruction of the dignity of this all!”

 

Starr wraps his arm around Steele as they rejoin Helms and Thorn as Sketch just fumes in the ring with Roboto entering the ring afterwards as the scene slowly fades to black.

Brayden Walker vs. Glacier

Underground Rules

 

The intro to “The Name of the Game” hits the speakers as the lights dim throughout the arena. Pyro explodes on stage. The crowd erupts into cheers as Brayden Walker slowly makes his way onto the entrance ramp and looks at the crowd. Brayden Walker, with one of the SCW Tag Team Championship belts over his shoulder, smirks as he continues on his way to the ring. He then hops onto the apron before entering the ring. He walks around before running into the ropes and bouncing off them. He then walks forward and smirks before looking at the curtain.

 

Sharper: “Brayden Walker last week stating his desire to enter the Underground division, but you have to wonder whether he is worried about some other things.”

 

Knots: “Well certainly not defending the Tag Team Championship. We’ve yet to hear anything about that from him tonight.”

 

Dawson: “Maybe he is waiting for his partner to be back to make that decision. Aaron Rupp is not here. He’s on his honeymoon.”

 

Knots: “How convenient!”

 

"Colder Than Ice" by KC Blaze blasts as a blue mist creeps onto the ramp. Out comes Glacier with an unzipped navy hooded jacket on with dark blue jeans that stop at the knee and white sneakers. He takes down the hood and looks up at the crowd that boo him. As he walks down the ramp blue pyros go off on the sides of the ramp. He smirks and walks up the steel steps. Glacier gets in the ring and climbs the nearby turnbuckle. He raises his hands in the air as the crowd boos him even more. Glacier smirks as the crowd and shakes his head as if to suggest he pities how pathetic they are. He gets down from the turnbuckle and takes out his jacket then throws it to one of the female fans who scream at seeing his eight-pack.

 

Dawson: “And Walker will have to deal with a big challenge in the form of Glacier. And Glacier has a big thing on his side. He’s got a win against the Underground Champion.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and he deserves a shot...just after Lucas Knight. Yeah....I went there.”

 

The bell sounds and Walker and Glacier looks to each other. Walker then starts to move forward and Glacier steps forward only for Glacier to kick him in the ribs and then back up and drill him in the face with a hard knee. Walker falls back and Glacier then grabs Walker and lifts him up before spinning him around and throws him through the ropes. Walker drops to the mats and Glacier then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. He then reaches underneath and grabs a steel chair, but Walker clubs him in the back. Glacier drops the chair and Walker then grabs him by the tights and his hair and throws him into the steel steps. The crowd ohs as Glacier falls over, holding his head in pain. Walker then grabs the steel chair and lifts it up. Glacier starts to get up and Walker slams it down across his back. Glacier falls to the mats and the crowd cheers as Walker and then slides the chair into the ring.

 

Sharper: “Walker taking advantage of the steel chair that was introduced by Glacier.”

 

Knots: “And Glacier is regretting bringing the chair into this match.”

 

Dawson: “Probably also regretting the steel steps being there too.”

 

Walker then grabs Glacier and lifts him up before kneeing him in the ribs. He then grabs him by the head and drives him into the barricade. Glacier spins around and leans against the barricade and Walker hits a spin kick to the ribs. Glacier falls over and Walker then turns and walks back over to the ring. He looks underneath and grabs a table from underneath the ring. The crowd roars as Brayden Walker lifts up the table and places it against the ring. He then turns around and Glacier reaches up and pokes Walker in the eyes. Walker spins around and Glacier then nails Walker from behind with a clothesline. Walker slowly gets up and Glacier nails him with a hard right. Walker stumbles back before turning back to Glacier and Glacier grabs him before throwing him over with a belly to belly suplex into the table and going through it. The crowd ohs and then boos as Walker rolls over. Glacier turns and smirks as the referee tells them to get to the ring.

 

Knots: “Yes! Walker just got wood!”

 

Sharper: “A belly to belly suplex through that table that was leaned up against the ring and Walker is in a bad way.”

 

Dawson: “We may have a cover here.”

 

Glacier drags Walker out a bit and rolls him over. He then goes for the pin.

Walker gets his shoulder up. The crowd cheers a bit and Glacier then nails Walker with a couple of straight right hands to the jaw. Glacier then gets up and stomps Walker. Walker rolls over and Glacier then turns and walks around the ring. He then reaches under the ring and grabs something before getting up and wrapping a chain around his fist. Walker starts to get up and Glacier then runs over and nails Walker with a running right hand, knocking him down. Walker rolls over in pain and slowly gets up. Glacier then stands over him and drives his fist into the back of Walker’s head. He then grabs the chain and starts to unfurl it before smirking and looking at Walker. Walker starts to stir and Glacier turns and attempts to viciously whip Walker, but Walker manages to roll away before crawling away in the ringside area.

 

Sharper: “Oh! Jesus! He’s trying to whip him with that chain.”

 

Knots: “Perfectly legal. Welcome to the Underground division Brayden. You wanted it.”

 

Walker crawls away and Glacier attempts to whip him again. Glacier misses, but just barely and Walker then gets up and quickly rolls into the ring. Glacier turns and rolls back into the ring. Walker gets up and Glacier attempts to whip him again, but Walker runs over and grabs the chair, dodging the swing. He then turns and drives the end of the chair into the ribs of Glacier. He then drives the end of the chair into Glacier’s head before kicking him in the ribs. Glacier drops the chain and Walker then drops the chair before grabbing Glacier and DDTing him right into it. He then rolls him over for the pin.

Glacier gets his shoulder up. Walker gets up and slowly starts to pull himself up. Glacier rolls over and starts to stir and Walker grabs Glacier by the head before driving him face first into the chair. He then lifts up his face again and drives it down again.

 

Dawson: “Walker embracing the style and just ramming Glacier’s head into that chair repeatedly.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Walker getting lucky by dodging that chain and using that chair.”

 

Dawson: “And Walker has done well being very effective with his attacks, but Glacier has been right there, testing him every step of the way, but he needs to get away and recuperate!”

 

Glacier stirs and Walker grabs him and slowly lifts him up. He then looks at the steel chair and sets him up for a flip piledriver. The crowd roars and Walker then goes to lift him up, but Glacier back drops him on the chair. Walker winces and rolls over and Glacier turns and Walker gets up only for Glacier to spew the Icy Ending into Walker’s face. The crowd ohs and Walker drops down and Glacier rolls through for the pin.

Glacier lets go and rolls over before turning to Walker and smirking. Walker rolls over, holding his face in pain as the referee holds Glacier’s arm up.

 

Sharper: “And Glacier continues to win here in SCW with another big win in the Underground.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Walker....welcome to the Underground. No rules and things can come from anywhere.”

 

Glacier then backs away from Walker before stepping through the ropes and dropping down to the floor. He then starts to slowly make his way to the back. Walker meanwhile rolls over and starts to pull himself up, rubbing his eyes. He gets over and stumbles to the ropes before looking around as the crowd cheers a bit. Just then, as Walker walks back to the middle of the ring, the lights go out and a single spotlight comes down onto him. Walker looks around as the crowd starts to buzz.

 

???: “Brayden Walker!”

 

Walker starts to look around, before looking up at the light, completely confused and rubbing his eyes further. Just then two other spotlights can be seen as we see a circus performer, on one of the large strands of ribbon start to twirl down. The performer stops part way down to the ring, before extending their arm, holding a scroll in both of their hands. Just then two more spotlights come on, showing Shilo Valiant, Marina Trent and Masquerade standing in the rafters.

 

Valiant: “We have awaited your decision! Now we understand that your tag partner is not here, but even you must admit that in the past you demanded champions defend their titles against all comers.”

 

Masquerade: “And despite that, we have withheld simply putting forth our rematch clause. Because well WE’RE CRAZY!”

 

Masquerade starts to cackle as Marina and Shilo just sternly look at Masquerade.

 

Marina: “So Brayden, we call on you, to accept the match at hand....we feel it will be to your liking.”

 

Valiant: “Round three....take it all....or leave it all behind.....The ladder of success awaits!”

 

Just then the performer lets go of the scroll, causing it to unfurl and reveal the picture of a ladder in the middle. The crowd roars seeing it as Walker just looks up at the picture. He just continues to look at it as all of the spotlights then turn and focus on the large picture of the ladder as the scene slowly fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns and the scene opens backstage to see Ashley Cherry just seated down in one of the locker rooms in the back, looking down, dejected.

 

Ashley: “I don’t know what to do. This is just falling apart before my eyes. Everytime I try for revenge, she gets away. I just want what’s mine back. She got lucky and now, she’s taunting me with it every step of the way. It....It’s...I just don’t know what to do. And well...we always were better together.”

 

Ashley then looks up and the camera pans out. The crowd then cheers as Greg Cherry is seen standing there. He looks down.

 

Greg: “Looks like both of us could use a bit of extra support....”

 

Greg pauses as Ashley continues to look at Greg.

 

Greg: “Maybe we need to have a partial return to old-times...”

 

Ashley and Greg show a slight smile as Greg continues to look forward and we cut to ringside.

 

Sharper: “Greg Cherry and Ashley Cherry back together here-“

 

Knots: “I never knew they were separated.”

 

Sharper: “You know what I mean.”

 

Dawson: “Well wouldn’t hurt. Both of them are looking to take on the world so to speak; Ashley with Brittany Lohan and Dark Fantasy and Greg with winning the battle royal in his hometown. They always were better together.”

 

Sharper: “They better act quick. Not much time left before Taking hold of the Flame.”

 

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen as “Oildale” by Korn begins to play throughout the arena. The crowd roars upon seeing the logo.

 

Dawson: “That it is. Rise to Greatness is around the corner, but we have to go to Taking Hold of the Flame first.”

 

Sharper: “And as usual, the yearly tradition....”

 

The Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal

 

Sharper: “...Thirty individuals. The winner gets a World Championship shot at Rise to Greatness. It’s for all of the marbles and the opportunity of a lifetime.”

 

Knots: “Think of whose in the match that we know. Shilo Valiant, Jason Zero, Greg Cherry, Katie Steward, Damian Angel. The list goes on.”

 

Sharper: “And we’ve seen some huge winners in the past. Who’s going to get the chance this year?”

 

Gable Winchester vs. Christian Savior

SCW United States Championship

 

Dawson: “And it is official. Earlier tonight, we heard it right from the commissioner himself. Savior is going to have to defend his title against Gable Winchester.”

 

Sharper: “Winchester is one of the true young stars in SCW and he’s got a hell of an opportunity here.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but he has to deal with the most dangerous finisher in the game today, Savior’s Spear.”

 

Karnivale vs. Liberation

SCW Tag Team Championship

Ladder Match

 

Dawson: “And this was just made official moments ago. Brayden Walker has officially accepted Karnivale’s challenge.”

 

Knots: “Oh boy. These guys are going to kill each other for the belts.”

 

Sharper: “Both titles will be hung over the ring and whichever team can pull them down will be the World Tag Team Champions. High stakes. High risk.”

 

Lucas Knight vs. Fred Debonair

SCW Underground Championship

 

Knots: “Finally! CHBK sees the light!”

 

Sharper: “This match just becoming official as well. Fred Debonair is going to defend his title against the man he was brawling with to the back earlier tonight. Lucas Knight is going to have to put up or shut up.”

 

Knots: “The second is simply just not going to happen!”

 

Thorn vs. Justin Davis vs. Jake Starr vs. Josh Hudson

SCW World Championship

 

Dawson: “And the match that will be for the ultimate prize. Josh Hudson has been trying to make it one on one, him versus Jake Starr. But so far he hasn’t been successful.”

 

Knots: “So far. We’ve still got a lot of time to go before then...and you know Hudson. When he wants something he won’t stop.”

 

Sharper: “But he’s been disappointed in the past in some of his goals. Will that make him more hungry to complete this one. We’re going to find out. In any case, the World Championship will be what it’s all for and tonight is showing the lengths everyone is willing to go to prove themselves.”

 

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen again.

 

Sharper: “The tradition continues from the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Montreal Canadiens may have ended things badly for the Penguins, but SCW is going to close out the building the right way!”

 

Dawson: “Last wrestling show there. You know history will be made-”

 

???: “What the hell is this crap?!”

 

The crowd starts to roar as the cameras pan throughout the arena before one of the spotlights comes on down on the floor next to the stage to show Chad Evans walking out, microphone in his hand and looking around at the crowd.

 

Chad: “God himself has returned to this hellhole and I get nothing. No hype. No parade. Hell, this show should be revolving around me. Instead we see Jake Starr and his BFFs running around pretending to be cool by attacking anyone and everyone. We have Josh Hudson brooding in a dark corner. We have Damian Angel without a set of balls. And we have two hot girls and a butch who are handing their thongs to a senior citizen! And nothing for God himself.”

 

Chad looks around. We then see a couple of officials come out and trying to get Chad back to the back.

 

Chad: “To hell with you. I am not done preaching to the world. Last Breakdown, I sat at home and nearly vomited upon seeing the masturbation this company held for Xander Valentine. He’s returning at Taking Hold of the Flame. Whoop-di-friggin’-do! Chad Evans is returning and Chad Evans is above SCW’s Executioner. He’s above all. I signed up for the battle royal and what do I get...I have to sneak into the backstage area, flashing my network pass and steal a microphone just to be heard. What kind of bullshit is this?!”

 

Chad looks around as security now comes up and Chad turns around and looks at security. The cameras show some of the fans before showing some of the guards in the crowd moving and then showing Darkside seated in one of the upper decks, just watching. The cameras return to Chad Evans who just looks around.

 

Chad: “Apparently these monkeys want to silence me. Why? Perhaps it is because I tell the truth. Perhaps it is because they wanted to keep me a secret. Well, screw them all. Chad Evans is here. He will be at Taking Hold of the Flame and Xander Valentine, CHBK, Jason Zero, JAke Starr and all of you can kiss my ass! God damn you all!”

 

Chad then drops the microphone causing it to thud on the ground as the security guards grab Chad and start to pull him away from the fans and towards the back. The crowd buzzes loudly before starting to boo.

 

The scene then cuts backstage to show Sasha Drachewych walking through the backstage area. The crowd cheers as they see her. Sasha Drachewych takes a deep breath as she continues down the hallway before being stopped just before the tunnel by Marisa Condolesa.

 

Condolesa: “Sasha, in just a few moments, after the commercial break, you’ll be going out to that ring to confront Jason Zero. Are you going to give him what he desires?”

 

Sasha just looks down and smiles a bit.

 

Sasha: “I guess we’re going to find out in a few moments.”

 

Sasha then turns and walks towards the tunnel as Condolesa just smiles back at Sasha.

 

Dawson: “No answers there. Sasha is on her way to the ring. She’s going to confront Jason Zero, next!”

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

A shot of the Edward R. Jones Dome for Rise to Greatness 2009 is shown with the crowd cheering and spotlights going around. The sound, however, is completely muted. This shifts to a shot of James Exeter attempting a shooting star press, only to be hit by a Graven Image by Shawn Winters. This is followed up by a shot of the crowd rising to their feet cheering and then a shot of Damian Angel walking to the ring. A shot of Rachel Foxx laughing evilly is shown followed by a shot of Jason Wheeler spearing Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness 2008. We then see a shot of a huge pyro display before this fades to black and only the following simple words come up on the screen.

 

“Rise to Greatness 2010”

 

“July 25, 2010”

 

“Dallas, Texas”

 

“Cowboys Stadium”

 

“Everything is bigger in Texas.”

 

The final phrase stays on the screen for a few moments before slowly fading to black.

 

Breakdown returns and “Rescue Me” is playing throughout the arena. Sasha Drachewych is slowly making her way down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Rise to Greatness is on the horizon, but the question is, what will the situation with Jason Zero be like heading into that show.”

 

Knots: “Zero’s made his demands clear. Give him a title shot before Taking Hold of the Flame, one on one, and he’ll hand over the shares. After Taking Hold of the Flame, things just may not be so good.”

 

Sharper: “He’s also assuming he’s going to win the battle royal.”

 

Sasha Drachewych walks over to the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron before stepping through the ropes. She then walks around the ring and goes over to the ring announcer, Jason Phillips, before being handed the microphone.

 

Dawson: “No CHBK with her. Was that his decision or hers?”

 

Knots: “Well last time CHBK was out with her, Jason Zero dropped Sasha.”

 

Sasha walks to the middle of the ring and looks down before then looking up and at the hard camera.

 

Sasha: “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for welcoming me back as such and I have been away for a little while thanks to the actions of one man. Fortunately, CHBK was more than capable of handling things while I was away. And since that very moment, I have been thinking about what I was going to say to Jason Zero. I remember his original offer and I remember what he then did to make me remember....and well...I guess that’s just one of the hazards of the job.”

 

Sasha pauses as the crowd buzzes a bit.

 

Sasha: “But I’m not going to waste time talking about how I’ve relished this. This is a business, so I’m going to treat it as such. Therefore, Jason, come on out and let’s figure this all out!”

 

Sasha then turns and walks across the ring and asks for another microphone before the lights dim and a hush comes over the audience. The big screen suddenly goes static and this static starts to form a shape that all the audience recognizes. The audience cheers as they recognize the face of Jason Zero. The face smiles before saying.

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

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

Wooaaah, Woooooah

We can see the silhouette of a man kneeling. As the lyrics start, he slowly rises out stretching his arms at a 45 degree angle.

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


The spotlight focuses on the figure. To no one’s surprise, but to their delight, standing there is Jason Zero, is head to the sky, his eyes closed.

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

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


Zero looks around at all the lighters and the fans who use their hands to form the letter ‘Z’. He gives a grin before running down the ramp way. He runs into the ring and jumps up and just like the audience is doing, he puts his hand in a “Z”.

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

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

I'm a knight of the wind


The music is turned down and then off as he walks around the ring, before hopping onto the apron. He smiles before entering the ring and looking at Sasha. Sasha extends the second microphone to him and Zero takes it. The crowd cheers a bit as he looks out at the crowd and smirks. Zero then turns back to Sasha.

 

Sasha: “So-“

 

Zero: “First off Sasha, allow me to apologize for that fateful Chaos Theory that you succumbed to a couple of months ago. But I felt that the urgency of the situation needed to be felt.”

 

Sasha: “Not to worry. That’s something I fully respect.”

 

Zero: “I’m unsure you do. This is to no fault of your own. But I do know you have a certain commissioner that has your ear and I know that he and I are never going to be on great terms. Respectful terms, of course. But with that respect, comes insecurity and concern. Much like I am concerned with him, he is rightfully concerned with me. And I know that is a concern you are well advised. See, I have been here now, making this claim for the better part of two months and yet, nothing. No decision. No response. In fact, out of respect, I have neglected pressing your father for his options. But I’m sure he will be more than willing to oblige, particularly when he needs people friendly to him on the board.”

 

Sasha: “Jason. I don’t need to be threatened.”

 

Zero: “Not a threat, my dear. Merely my telling you what is on the table. I always believe someone should make a decision well-informed....and I am ensuring that of you here tonight.”

 

Sasha: “What makes you feel that I am going to make a decision?”

 

Zero pauses momentarily. Sasha Drachewych stands her ground.

 

Sasha: “See, Jason, after your actions, I realized that you could change the terms again. And much like yourself hoping to make sure I am as well-informed, I also believe in transparency. That is why, I want you to get your lawyers and to draw up a contract that you stand by and submit it to my office.”

 

Zero: “Do you not understand the time-sensitive nature of this?”

 

Sasha: “Oh I do.”

 

The crowd roars a bit, with a mixed reaction of the die-hard Zero fans and the fans siding with Sasha’s level-headedness.

 

Zero: “You do realize that after Taking Hold of the Flame, my terms will change. I want to help you. But I want something that will not only obviously benefit me, but give these fans what they want, a classic match for the World Championship with yours truly involved. An opportunity for me to headline Rise to Greatness one more time.”

 

Sasha pauses as Zero also remains steadfast.

 

Sasha: “I understand. But I want to make sure that should I agree...the terms are final. Take it or leave it. I’ll expect your answer next Breakdown.”

 

Zero just looks down.

 

Zero: “Don’t worry Sasha...you’ll get it.”

 

Zero then looks down for a moment longer as the crowd starts to buzz, expecting a Chaos Theory, but Zero’s theme starts to play and Zero turns and smiles before turning around and stepping through the ropes. He then drops down to the floor before starting to make his way to the back. Sasha remains in the ring just watching him leave as the scene slowly fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown reopens at ringside.

 

Dawson: “What a night tonight has been.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah and we just saw maybe the maturation of our owner, Sasha Drachewych. Level-headed and responsible.”

 

Knots: “Yeah....I expected her to be dropped on her head again!”

 

Justin Davis vs. Jake Starr

 

3...

1...

Pyrotechnics shoot out of the top of the ramp as "Awake and Alive" by Skillet begins to play. Justin Davis then comes walking out to a mix reaction of a crowd, wearing his entrance gear; zippered up vest with running pants that reads Davis on both legs. He stands at the top of the ramp looking around the arena, smirks and nods his head. He then finally walks down the ramp, not slapping hands with any fans. Once Davis makes it to the ring he points up to the sky then slides in the ring. And, once he gets in the ring he goes to a random turnbuckle and stands on the second rope, taunting all the fans, then points up to the sky and drops down. Davis now waits in the middle of the ring, stretching, and awaiting for his opponent to come out.

 

Dawson: “Here we go. All this is is revenge.”

 

Sharper: “Davis was going to get his opportunity to get one over Hudson and got nothing. Starr and Thorn prevented that and Davis wanted to get his hands on Starr!”

 

The arena goes dark, with just the sounds of the crowds and the flashes of the cameras. With the first chord of "Sandstorm" by Darude, two green spotlights shoot to the stage. As the song hits the post, fireworks erupt from the stage, and from behind the curtain emerges Jake Starr. Upon first stepping onto the stage, Starr pauses to immerse himself in the electricity of the fans. He smirks as he looks around the arena. He walks down towards the ring, slapping the occasional outstretched hand of the fans around the ring. He quickly ascends the steps and enters the ring. Upon entering the ring he walks to the opposite corner and steps up to the middle turnbuckle. He once again cocks a smirk. The crowd reacts to his presence with a majority of cheers, and scattered boos. He points towards the crowd, and shows his appreciation by tapping his chest with the fist he had extended. He proceeds to repeat that gesture on the remaining turnbuckles, and finally settles in the ring.

 

Dawson: “It’s weird seeing Jake Starr without a championship over his shoulder.”

 

Knots: “I think the look works for him. In fact, I think he should make it permanent!”

 

Sharper: “Twice in the past, Davis and Starr went at it for either the Adrenaline Championship or the World Championship. Now, this is not about championships...”

 

Dawson: “In some ways it is. Hudson will be watching and this is somewhat foolish. They’re giving him a clear place to attack Davis or Thorn and get what he wants....Starr at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

 

Starr turns and looks at Davis who runs over and kicks him in the ribs. The crowd boos and Davis kicks Starr again in the ribs before nailing him with a hard right. Starr spins around and Davis grabs him by the head and runs him over into the corner before driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. Starr falls back and rolls to the middle of the ring. He then starts to pull himself up and Davis runs at him and clotheslines him down. Starr rolls over and Davis drops down and hooks the leg for the pin.

Starr kicks out. He then rolls over and Davis turns and drags him back up by the hair. He then drags him over and throws him into the top turnbuckle. Starr turns around and Davis then pushes him against the corner, choking him. The referee walks over and instantly demands a break before counting.

 

Dawson: “Davis is going right after the former World Champion.”

 

Sharper: “Choking him in the corner. If he’s not careful, this match may not last long.”

 

Davis lets go and walks away before turning back around and running at Starr and jumping up, but Starr moves out of the way. Davis gets his leg hung up on the top rope. Starr then turns and nails him with a hard right and then another before grabbing Davis and dragging him away from the corner and then driving him down with a facebuster. He then turns and gets up before stomping Davis in the face. Davis rolls over and starts to get up only for Starr to hoist him up and then look at the entrance way to see Josh Hudson starting to make his way down to the ring, SCW Championship over his shoulder. Starr then throws Davis into the top turnbuckle in the corner before looking at Hudson and motioning to him to get into the ring, even leaning on the ropes, giving Hudson a clear entrance.

 

Dawson: “Well this match isn’t going to last long either way. The SCW Champion is here.”

 

Knots: “And I doubt he’s here just to watch.”

 

Sharper: “Not exactly his style.”

 

The referee quickly sees Hudson and exits the ring and quickly starts to telling Hudson to exit to the back. Hudson however just grabs the referee and immediately drills him with a sharp right hand. The crowd ohs and Starr then backs up as Hudson turns and runs at the ring. He then gets up and looks at Starr who runs in. Starr nails Hudson with a hard right, but Hudson fires one back. Starr then nails him again and Davis then runs out from the corner and attempts a running boot. Hudson moves causing Starr to get drilled by the boot. Davis turns around and Hudson quickly kicks Davis in the right knee and Davis falls face first to the mat. He rolls over and Hudson stomps him in the knee and then the face before returning to the knee. He then grabs the right leg and kicks him in the knee repeatedly, causing Davis to yell in pain.

 

Dawson: “Hudson! He’s going after Davis’ knee!”

 

Sharper: “He’s going to try and make sure he does take Davis out this time!”

 

Hudson then slams the leg down against the mat before turning and running over and stomping Starr in the face. Starr rolls back and Hudson runs over and grabs Davis and kicks him in the knee again before lifting up the leg and driving his elbow into it. He then stands up again and drives his knee into the leg. Hudson then smiles before lifting the leg up. Davis tries to counter, but Hudson braces the leg before turning, adding pressure to the leg. He then smiles before lifting his foot up and stomping Davis in the back of the leg. Hudson smiles as Davis yells in pain. He then stomps him in the head before slamming the leg down. Starr gets up and Hudson runs over and kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and goes to throw him out of the ring.

 

Knots: “Hudson is owning that ring.”

 

Dawson: “And he’s about to get rid of Starr to focus on Davis some more. This is bad for Davis!”

 

Hudson gets Starr over the top rope, but Starr holds on and lands on the apron only to nail Hudson with a hard right and then another and another. Starr then jumps up for a springboard, but Hudson nails him with an uppercut and Starr drops back, bounces off the ropes before falling back into the ring. Starr winces as the crowd ohs. The crowd then starts to cheer. Hudson grabs Starr and stomps him in the head. Starr rolls over and slowly stirs as Davis pushes away only for Hudson to turn around, but Thorn slides in. Hudson then goes to Thorn, but Thorn quickly jumps up and hits the Griever’s Bane. He then rolls over and looks at Hudson as Hudson rolls over, holding his head in pain. Thorn just looks down. Davis continues to push away before leaning in the corner, holding his knee in pain. Starr looks at Thorn as Thorn then stands up and looks down at Hudson.

 

Sharper: “Thorn! Thorn just struck Josh Hudson with the Griever’s Bane!”

 

Knots: “All that’s going to do is piss him off.”

 

Dawson: “But Thorn knows...if Hudson succeeds, Thorn is next. And Thorn’s going to hit him first!”

 

Sharper: “Oh my! Hudson downed, just moments before perhaps destroying Davis. Ironically, saved, by Thorn! This fatal fourway, it’s going to get interesting. And Hudson’s not endearing himself to anyone!”

 

Hudson continues to hold his head in pain as Thorn then slowly bends over and grabs the SCW Championship and lifts it up. He looks at it, continuing to just stare at it. Starr just smiles as Thorn then slowly lifts the title up over his head. The crowd cheers a bit and Thorn holds it in the air for a few moments longer as the scene slowly fades to black...
