“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

 

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

 

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

 

The opening bars of “The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire play as the Breakdown logo flies across the screen.

 

I'm thinking about the old me
'Cause I've been feeling empty
I never used to be so dead inside

 

Shots of Syren celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Beauty Factory standing tall in the ring. Following this is Aaron Blackbourne hitting the Unchained Creativity on an opponent. Katie Steward hitting the Off with her Head on Giovanni Aries at Retribution 2018 follows.


I think I lost my memory
I can't remember carefree
And all my days turn into fight or flight

 

Owen Cruze hitting the Cruze Stomp on an opponent follows before we see Selena Frost hitting the Glass Shard on Bree Lancaster. Bree Lancaster hitting the Classifier on Aaron Blackbourne follows before we see Scarlet Grey walking to the ring.

 

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

 

Kennedy Street hitting Dante McCaffery with the Touch of Class follows before we see James Evans and Angelica Jones holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Marie Jones standing on the ropes follows before we see Kandis swiveling her hips as part of her entrance. Derek Adonis holding up a copy of the KABLAMA Sutra follows.

 

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?

 

Chris Cannon covering Kennedy Street and Owen Cruze follows before we see a shot of Cassidy Carter dancing on her way to the ring, and then a shot of Regan Street and Datura swinging chairs at one another. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.

 

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

 

Sharper: “We are live in Canada’s capital for Breakdown, just eleven days away from Taking Hold of the Flame!”

 

The cameras continue to pan around before we cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and folks, tonight, two titles on the line. Adrenaline and TV Championships. But that’s not all. A huge main event. Infamous will face Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon.”

 

Knots: “Sienna and Chris going to be teaming up and Syren will be watching. It’s official. Syren will face Sienna Swann at Taking Hold of the Flame, unifying the titles. But Chris and Sienna have to team for the first time ever! Let’s see how they really are.”

 

Sharper: “Not just that, we’ve been told that Sasha has had a repaired version of the SCW US Championship created. Giovanni Aries, yes, Giovanni Aries is the new US Champion. And Sasha will present him with the new title.”

 

Knots: “Can’t wait to see how that’s going to go.”

 

Sharper: “But not just that, Xander Valentine went after Selena’s bus. Selena Frost, we expect her to be here. She may not be one hundred percent but she refused to not attend. All this and much more on tap-“

 

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "The Truth About Our Time" by Allen/Lande brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. A few moments pass before we see Selena Frost step out from the back, limping a bit, and showing some of the effects of last week’s scaffold match.

 

Sharper: “When we went off the air last week on Breakdown, that woman right there, the former US Champion, Selena Frost had been thrown off the scaffold and went through one of the platforms below, next to our stage, done to brace a fall.”

 

Knots: “She’s lucky.”

 

Sharper: “She is. But battered, bruised, you see the pain on her. She’s clearly feeling it.”

 

Knots: “Adrenaline long gone, so she’s feeling it.”

 

Sharper: “But not just that, she was distracted by Xander Valentine seemingly taking aim at her tour bus and her wife inside. And I’m sure there is plenty on her mind.”

 

Selena Frost walks down the rampway, looking down at the ring before glancing at the crowd from time to time. She gets to the ring and looks at the ring before turning to the steel steps. She walks up them and onto the apron. She walks along the apron and steps into the ring. She then turns and looks out at the crowd, many who cheer her. She stops in the middle of the ring and just stands in the middle of it for a moment. She then walks over to the corner and grabs a microphone waiting for her. She takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. She look around as the camera gets a shot of Selena’s arm, showing a couple of bruises on it.

 

Sharper: “You can see the bruising.”

 

Knots: “Again, as odd as it says, she was lucky. Very lucky.”

 

Selena looks around as her music fades out. Selena looks down and clearly looks to be composing herself.

 

Selena: “You know…it would almost be easier if I could stand here and say I just failed you all.”

 

Selena pauses for a moment.

 

Selena: “See if it was just a matter that Giovanni Aries, the Warrior for the Wonderland, came out and managed to defeat me, but let’s be clear…he can’t even say that.”

 

Selena pauses.

 

Selena: “Now, don’t worry. I can see Bree Lancaster sitting backstage, about to snap and go a-ha! She can’t accept defeat. She’s right. I can’t accept defeat. But I can accept I lost last week. I lost when Giovanni Aries grabbed me from behind and threw me off the scaffold, me lucky that I landed at the platforms built by SCW crew to protect us, instead of the middle of that ramp. If it was a matter of Giovanni Aries doing that and I simply lost, as I said…it would almost be easier if I could say I just failed all of you, all of my true-believers.”

 

Selena pauses.

 

Selena: “But I completely forgot about one big problem…One other individual who I frankly had no respect for before and even if it’s not possible, even less now, in Xander Valentine!”

 

The crowd boos. Selena looks down.

 

Selena: “When I saw the big screen come on, no doubt a result of Jessica Winters trying to get some help for me, asking someone to patch it into the production truck, when Xander Valentine was vandalizing my tour bus…something that’s happened before and will again. I don’t care about the bus. I care about the fact that I heard my wife scream in terror because Xander Valentine had a problem with me.”

 

Selena pauses.

 

Selena: “As I said…it would be easier if I had failed you all because instead, I failed my wife and family by being so short-sighted. As Xander Valentine goes around, insulting veterans and those who are on top of the industry today, all after he attacked Mr. D not once, but twice, before threatening our boss….He then goes after my tour bus. And I could stand here and be starting to ask why. But the fact is that I actually don’t give a DAMN why!”

 

The crowd roars. Selena looks up and looks right at the main camera.

 

Selena: “See I don’t care because this is somehow different. Unlike Regan Street who in the past threatened my family because that’s how personal this had gotten…unlike Vixen Cain who had taken me along on the tour bus for a little joyride, there was at least something personal about this, specifically with me. Xander…you and I have never had anything against one another. And if you’re going to start going after everyone you pissed off for taking out Mr. D, you’ve got a lot of people to terrorize and sorry to say because I don’t think you’re going to last long doing it. Because the problem is that now you not only have Regan Street coming right for you, but you have ME!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Selena: “See, I don’t care if you’re part of the Wonderland. I don’t care if Giovanni Aries is behind this all or you have some reunion planned with your New Blood Rebellion buddy, Damian Angel. I care about one thing now…making you pay for what you put Deanna through. Making you pay for what you put Mr. D through. And Xander, I may have half the size of you, but as I know damn well with Regan, the size of the fight we bring. I may be battered and bruised…and the only thing that means is that SCW won’t LET me get in the ring with you in an official match.”

 

Selena pauses before looking at the camera again as the crowd boos.

 

Selena: “But that’s not going to stop me from being right next to Regan when you show up here tonight. If you wanted my attention, you have it! And I don’t care what anyone is going to say. I don’t care how much my body screams in pain…I am coming for you and making you pay.”

 

Selena continues to look right at the camera.

 

Selena: “And Giovanni…I am not done with you. I’m not dead as you wanted. And I am not done with the title that I fought for years to get. I will get another shot at you and I will get back at you for next week….BELIEVE IT!”

 

Selena brings the microphone down as the crowd cheers. Selena winces a bit as she steps back and looks at the corner before putting the microphone down.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost fired up to start off Breakdown here in Ottawa!”

 

Knots: “I said she may be feeling it with the lack of adrenaline, but she may be ready to fight. But you know what I didn’t hear her talk about…Taking Hold of the Flame. It’s in eleven days!”

 

Sharper: “And she is one of the entrants. I think her focus is entirely on Xander now. It was on Giovanni before, but now it’s shifted.”

 

Knots: “And she may not care if they’re working together, but if they are…this is bad for Selena, for Regan, for everyone!”

 

Selena Frost turns and walks over to the ropes. She steps through and then walks along the apron before slowly walking down the steel steps. She then starts to walk over to the entrance way before starting to head to the back. The crowd cheers her as the camera follows her up the rampway for a few moments before we cut away.

 

Backstage, we see Jordan Majors with her bodyguards. She takes a few steps before turning to them.

 

Jordan: “Tonight, you make sure you do your jobs right. I don’t need any more screw ups.”

 

Jordan turns around and then smiles as Bree Lancaster with Scott Burnside walks up to them.

 

Jordan: “Bree!”

 

Bree: “Jordan!”

 

The two step forward and hug.

 

Bree: “You’re just who I wanted to see. You’re looking great.”

 

Jordan: “As are you?”

 

Bree: “Just wanted to see if you were aware of the importance of your match tonight?”

 

Jordan: “It’s Scarlet. The warped girl.”

 

Bree: “And someone who has links to Dark Fantasy. Someone who I’m sure Katya or Dark Fantasy may use in a certain match…”

 

Jordan just nods and smiles.

 

Jordan: “I got it.”

 

Bree: “Excellent.”

 

Jordan: “Consider it taken care of…unless these guys screw it up.”

 

Bree: “If you want…I know a very good bodyguard.”

 

Jordan turns back.

 

Jordan: “Here that…Replacements could be easy to find! Come on.”

 

Jordan smiles to Bree as Bree smiles back as Scott turns to Bree.

 

Bree: “Now to make another stop.”

 

Scott: “I’m ready to represent you if need be.”

 

Bree: “Oh Scott. Just need you there for support. Like now. It’s nice that Manvel is taking some time away. I get you all to myself again.”

 

Scott smiles as the two head off and the scene fades out.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Backstage, the scene opens up to see Kennedy Street backstage with Trinity Street. The crowd cheers seeing her.

 

Kennedy: “This is like some sort of nightmare.”

 

Trinity: “Just challenges that need to be dealt with.”

 

Kennedy: “In eleven days, two people I frankly hate with my entire being are facing each other for the World Championship. I wish I could even say I respect them….”

 

Trinity: “Then you know what you need to do. There’s the battle royal. There’s-“

 

Kennedy: “Chris.”

 

Trinity takes a deep breath.

 

Trinity: “There’s Chris. And I agree the man needs a dose of common sense and a reality check, but is it worth derailing what you want?”

 

Kennedy: “He’s part of the battle royal…and I’m not going to let him walk away just because that’s what he seems to be great at. You know as well as I do, we don’t do well when we don’t get what we want.”

 

Trinity: “Well, that’s why we need to make sure you get everything you deserve…and at some point, you’ll get what you want.”

 

Kennedy turns to Trinity and shakes her head.

 

Kennedy: “Sorry. I’ve been spending the last year chasing the World title and right now, I’m seeing it being held by two of the greatest stains on this industry. I’m not going to Chris Cannon run because he doesn’t want to face up to any of his consequences. Instead, I’m going to make sure he be forced to deal with me!”

 

Kennedy gets up as the crowd cheers. Trinity look at her.

 

Trinity: “Kennedy!”

 

Kennedy walks off as the scene fades out.

 

Jordan Majors vs. Scarlet Grey

 

The lights go down and flash purple as "7 Rings" by Arianna Grande starts to play. When the lyrics start, Jordan walks slowly out on the stage with a bedazzled trenchcoat dragging along the ground behind her as two bodyguards follow behind her. She smirks when the beat drops and starts to walk down the ramp ignoring anything the fans around her say. She stops down at the bottom of the ramp and puts her arms out as the bodyguards remove the coast and start back up the ramp. Jordan saunters around the ring to the steps and slowly makes her way up as the house lights come back on. She climbs under the ropes and steps up onto the turnbuckle and rubs her fingers together as she looks out at the crowd. She taps her chest as she yells that she gets what she wants.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors seems absolutely unconcerned with this match. It’s almost as if she’s feeling entitled to a win here.”

Knots: “Nothing phases her.”

Sharper: “She seemed phased last week when Sasha informed her that she cannot bring her bodyguards to the Taking Hold of A Flame Pay-Per-View.”

Knots: “She’s felt targeted. That’s all!”


Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix) begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down the ramp, putting every runway model in existence to shame without even actually trying. She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. Once she's in the ring she waits in the corner, eyes moving over to the referee with a look that's just begging for him to come over and 'inspect' her for foreign objects.

Sharper: “Scarlet seemed fairly frustrated, saying in comments leading up to this contest that she’s through with being one of Sasha’s downtrodden examples.”

Knots: “It’s almost as if she’s trying to turn this into a contest between herself and Jordan, who gets mistreated the most by Sasha.”

Sharper: “Some people like to complain.”

Knots: “I mean if Scarlet’s complaining about anything, it’s the fact that Jordan Majors agreed to take out Scarlet Gray earlier in the night.”

Sharper: “You can tell that Scarlet does not appreciate being targeted. She looks as if she wants to attack Jordan Majors before she has the opportunity to follow through with her promise to the Beauty Factory.”

The bell rings as both women step up to each other. Scarlet shoves Jordan. Jordan shoves her right back. Scarlet unloads with a European uppercut, followed by another and another. Jordan staggers against the ropes but ducks a forearm and steps around. Scarlet turns and she’s met with a stiff chop across the chest, followed by another one that the sound is picked up easily by the camera. Jordan switches over to a few European uppercuts of her own and whips Scarlet towards the center of the ring, but Scarlet reverses, pulling Jordan in for a stiff knee to the midsection. Jordan drops to a knee and Scarlet Gray backhands her to the loud exasperation of the crowd.

Knots: “You think that was a message to the Beauty Factory?”

Sharpers: “It might have well been one.”

Knots: “I thought so.”

Scarlet still has a hold of Jordan’s arm and wrings it around once to apply pressure. Jordan needs to roll forward to get into a better position. She dumps Scarlet over her shoulders with a fireman’s carry into a seated position and spins around to lock in a rear chin lock. Scarlet dances with her feet until she’s able to find footing to stand, forcing Jordan to stand with her. Jordan tries to twist Scarlet back to the canvas but Scarlet manages to uses one of those jerks to toss Scarlet over her shoulder onto the canvas. Scarlet runs into the ropes and comes down onto a raising Jordan with a sliding baseball slide to the face. Jordan rolls all the way to the outside, holding her face in pain.

Sharper: “A frustrating start for Jordan Majors. She is showing her frustration on the outside, slapping the apron in disgust.”

Knots: “I told you nothing phases her.”

Sharper: “You really stick to your guns. Jordan knows she needs to follow through with her promise to take out Scarlet, but maybe she be focusing on winning the match.”

Scarlet rolls out of the ring to pursue Jordan. Jordan retreats to the ‘twin’ bodyguards. Scarlet tries to make her way through the bodyguards, pushing them out of the way but in her attempt to get pass, Jordan circled around to the side of one and gest behind Scarlet. She shoves Scarlet from behind and Scarlet goes face first into the ring post with a loud thud. She pulls Scarlet’s head back and slams it against the ring post again before rolling Scarlet into the ring. The referee issues a warning for the method of attack but Jordan Majors seems unconcerned with the referee.

Knots: “Well, you must admit, that’s a start.”

Sharper: “Of all the bad things I have to say about Majors, her ability to find a way to use those bodyguards is unappalling… but…”

Knots: “Equally resourceful.”

Sharper: “I don’t like to praise when wrestlers misbehave but yet, she’s frustratingly resourceful.”

Scarlet Gray holds her head in pain as she rolls on the canvas as Jordan Majors steps up the ring steps and enters the ring. She stomps down onto the upper body of Scarlet before backing away. She doesn’t go for the pin, instead she waves Scarlet to get to her feet. Scarlet pulls herself up using the ropes, but Majors steps in with a knee, catching her in the side of the face as Scarlet pulls up. Scarlet falls forwards but Jordan catches her, lifts her up for a vertical suplex and drops her back. She doesn’t release her hold on Scarlet as she lefts her up again for another vertical suplex… and again for a third suplex, but this one is blocked as Scarlet slips her leg behind Jordan’s leg. Jordan knees Scarlet until her leg slips back forward and lifts for a suplex and as Scarlet is raised to the peak of the suplex, she slips free, sliding down Jordan’s back, pulling Jordan back into a neckbreaker.

Sharper: “Both competitors are down in the ring. Scarlet pulling off the amazing counter.”

Knots: “Jordan’s focusing on inflicting damage while I think Scarlet’s wanting the win now.”

Sharper: “They are stirring and hurting, but the match continues.”

Both find their feet on opposite ends of the ring. Jordan falter into the corner and Scarlet runs forward. Jordan grabs the hurtling Scarlet and tosses her in through the turnbuckles, shoulder first into the ring post. Scarlet’s hits either her head or shoulder in the ring post, but quickly falls out from the corner, writhing in pain as she holds her shoulder. She isn’t given time as Jordan Major stomps down onto Scarlet viciously, beating down onto the second turnbuckle. The referee goes in and gets in between to let Scarlet some space. Jordan nods, seemingly to agree with the referee’s requests before stepping back wards. She then comes charging forward, past the referee, and drops a knee to Scarlet’s head. Jordan Majors stands up, proud of her dirty work, begins to parade around the ring before turning around and stalking Scarlet to continue the assault.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors has taken control of this match and she’s finding ways to hurt Scarlet.”

Knots: “Typically you expect this behavior from Scarlet, but right now she’s reeling.”

Sharper: “Jordan has use the ring post as a weapon in this match but has made no attempts so far to go for the win. She’s wanting that return favor from the Beauty Factory.”
Scarlet manages to pull herself up in the corner. Jordan Majors runs forward, dives into the corner with a splash but Scarlet moves out of the way. Jordan gets nothing but the turnbuckle. She stumbles out and turns and there’s a knee to the gut, followed by a picture-perfect fisherman suplex, arching beautiful in a bridge for the pin:

1…

2…

Jordan shoots her shoulder up and escapes from the pin. Scarlet crawls towards the ropes, still showing the damage done to her upper body.  Jordan gets to her feet first and goes towards Scarlet but Scarlet drills her with another European uppercut. Scarlet shoves Jordan back and goes to spring board but one of Jordan’s dogs grabs a hold of Scarlet’s leg. Scarlet stumbles forward right into a superkick from Jordan Majors.

Sharper: “Once again, Jordan Majors gets an assist from her bodyguards. And she wonders why they are banned from Taking A Hold of the Flame.”

Knots:  “You use what you can, Adam. What more do you want me to say?”

Ruby Amarant comes down from the ramp and runs at the bodyguards. They back away from Ruby, who is armed with a steel chair. They circle around to the opposite side of the ring. Meanwhile in the middle of the ring, Scarlet’s arm is pulled back into an arm bar by Jordan Major. Referee slides in to check to see if Scarlet’s going to submit.

Knots: “Backup’s here. Ruby seemed to have had enough of seeing Jordan’s dogs getting involved.”

Sharper: “Despite the fact that Ruby and Scarlet has engaged in the same behavior as Jordan Major is doing right now with her bodyguards, at least the playing field is a little bit more even now.”

Knots: “Those bodyguards don’t want anything to do with Ruby Amarant and that steel chair.”

Scarlet inches slowly towards the ropes, reaching desperately for a rope break. She tries to fight back with a few fists towards Jordan but fails to connect with anything substantial. She manages to grasp the bottom rope and the referee calls for a rope break. Jordan keeps holding the hold in for a few moments before breaking free. Scarlet holds her shoulder and she pulls herself towards the ropes. She manages to find her footing. Jordan steps forward but Scarlet gets a high boot up to knock her away. She ducks underneath a clothesline attempt by Jordan Majors and snaps back into a DDT. She pushes Jordan Major over and goes for the pin:

1…

2…

Jordan shoots her shoulder up. Jordan crawls towards the ropes this time while Scarlet is still recovering form the damage she has sustained in this match. Both are fighting to stand first and Jordan still gets to her feet before Scarlet. Scarlet tries to lunge forward with a punch but Jordan steps behind her, goes for a german suplex, dropping Scarlet onto her head.

Sharper: “Scarlet’s hurting. She managed to turn the table, still fighting hard, but Jordan has used the ring post and her dogs enough time in this match for her have a solid advantage.”

Knots: “She is keeping her promise.”

Sharper: “Jordan Majors is heading for the top rope. I think she’s going to go for the Money Drop!”

Jordan Majors smiles looking down at Scarlet Grey. Ruby drops the chair and hops onto the apron. She’s going to go save Scarlet but the referee blocks her entrance into the ring. Scarlet Grey takes flight for the Money Drop but Scarlet rolls out of the way and gets nothing but mat. As she rolls around, recovering from the big miss, Scarlet is up. The referee is still distracted by Ruby. Jordan Majors stands, holding her self in pain for the big miss, and she turns and there’s the Bionic Blow behind the referee’s back. Jordan Major is sent down to the canvas hard as Scarlet drops down onto the canvas. The referee sees the movement in the corner of his eyes and immediately goes for the pin count:

1…


2…

3!

Sharper: “The referee didn’t see Scarlet using her metallic glove and Scarlet Grey gets the win from that infamous ‘Bionic Blow’ of hers.”

Knots: “You mean steal the win. I mean, Ruby provided distraction and Scarlet used that glove. Pretty sure the referee would have disqualified her over that if he saw in full.”

Sharper: “I don’t think Jordan Majors can complain. What about the impact of her bodyguards and the steel ring post?”

Knots: “Semantics. Those semantics!”

Phillips: “The winner of the match, by pin fall, Scarlet Grey!”

 

Scarlet gets up, and moves away, rolling to the floor. Jordan rolls over, holding her jaw in pain as we cut away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns to see Bree Lancaster walking into the office of Sasha with Scott Burnside in tow.

 

Bree: “You should be expecting me.”

 

Sasha: “I’m actually surprised it took you this long.”

 

Sasha looks up from her desk.

 

Bree: “Selena is out. So your BS reason for not giving me my title rematch is GONE. So, now, you have a lunatic as your champion and you could use someone who at least won’t use the title to buy a damn goat!”

 

Sasha: “Good to see you’re being level-headed and calm.”

 

Bree: “I am here for the rematch I should have gotten. Your logic that I gave it up for Selena, well that’s gone because Selena’s currently trying to find her spleen while Giovanni Aries is holding the title.”

 

Sasha: “You are right we have a new champion. As for his first challenger, that will be something I will determine soon.”

 

Bree scoffs and looks around.

 

Bree: “Yeah and you know damn well if it’s not me, whoever challenges them, whoever holds that title, they’re a fraud. You decide if you want to deal with that.”

 

Bree turns and heads off as Scott looks around before following after her and we cut away.

 

Total Terror vs. Goddard

 

Darkness. Quiet. After a moment, Pyro explodes illuminating Terror at the top of the ramp.

I'm a bored out Big block 454
I'm a billboard of buckshot that can't be ignored
I'm a thrift store of filth, I was built to enrage
I'm the realest mother****** and I'm coming of age

More pyro explodes around him and he bursts to life, running down the ramp. As he reaches the ring, he slides under the bottom rope without stopping his run, and then jumps to a standing position, his head down, in the middle of the ring. Pyro explodes from the corner post as the chorus of the song hits

Welcome to the greatest
Love you when you hate us
Welcome to the greatest f'n' show on earth
Welcome to the greatest
Love you when you hate us
Welcome to the greatest fn' show on earth

Terror raises one arm in the air with a closed fist. The lights come up, and he gently passes his jacket and sunglasses to the ring attendant.

Sharper: Total Terror looking to get on the winning side of things as he has yet to get in the win column since returning to action. And getting a win over an accomplished competitor such as John Goddard will be a great way to get the bad taste of his mouth.

Knots: Yeah Total Terror is showing resilience coming back or total lack of short term memory.

Sharper: Enough of that...

The arena is plunged into total darkness causing the crowd to buzz, the questions are answered when the tron above the stage illuminates while the sound of wind blowing over the P.A System. The picture on the screen is that of the desert sand, but it’s not long before we hear the rattling sound of a curled-up snake... The footage starts to pan upwards to reveal more of the desert, but the focus is on the snake slithering towards the screen, the Rattlesnake moves closer and closer and then wastes no time at all before striking at the screen...

Then as if on cue Johnny Cash’s “God’s Gonna Cut you Down” hits over the P. A System, while the music begins to build upwards with the guitar strumming away a smoke like fog begins to haze its way onto the stage as the lights shift in colour to a fiery amber… With it a shadowy figure begins to casually walk out among the Smokey haze to reveal Goddard himself dressed in his leather trench coat, Stetson hat and bandanna over his face...

Dishevelled voice: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Ya’ll heard the whispers, ya’ll listened to the tales but allow us to inform ya that “The Legend is Very Real...” Hailing from the wastelands of Texas, better known as Tombstone… he weighs in tonight at one-hundred and ninety-seven pounds... He is “THE HELLBILLY” … JOHN GODDARD!!”

The crowd’s reaction is incredibly mixed as he stands on the stage looking out from under his hat, he then removes the bandanna and cracks a smile before nodding and walking down to the ring with a confidence of one like himself. Fans reach out to touch him, but he pays them no mind if they manage to do just that. After rolling into the ring he rises to one knee and looks out to the crowd again before pulling himself up using the ropes before walking over to a corner and removing his jacket before standing on the second corner and nodding one more time.

Sharper: Goddard coming into the match can’t help but have Adam Allocco in the back of his mind.

Knots: Like an annoying mosquito.

Sharper: I would got that far but Goddard is a veteran of many years in the ring, he should be able to focus.

Knots: If nothing else visualizing Total Terror as Adam Allocco won’t be that difficult as both are arrogant pricks.

Goddard and Total Terror circle each other for a bit before locking up. Total Terror takes a shortcut with a knee to the gut followed by a high knee lift. Goddard is knocked back a bit as Total Terror connects with a hard forearm shot to send Goddard back into the ropes. Total Terror then whips Goddard off the ropes as Goddard bounces off as Total Terror follows closely behind and takes Goddard down with a drop toe hold followed by an elbow to the back of the head.

Sharper: Total Terror is all over Goddard early in this match.

Knots: Allocco must be effecting him.

Sharper: Enough.

Knots: Hey I wonder if Evans Cream will work? I know Adam isn’t an Evans but he is annoying as one.

Sharper: Enough.

Total Terror picks up Goddard as hooks his arm over his neck as he hoists Goddard and delivers a vertical Suplex. Goddard arches his back in pain as Total Terror sits up and looks around with a smirk. Total Terror then gets to his feet as Goddard crawls to the corner and pulls himself up. Total Terror charges at Goddard and connects with a vicious clothesline in the corner. Total Terror looks out at the crowd with a grin before arrogantly slapping Goddard across the face.

Sharper: Total Terror showing no respect to Goddard.

Knots: The only other person Total Terror respects is the reflection in the mirror.

Total Terror then Irish whips Goddard into the other corner and follows in but is met with a boot to the face as Total Terror stumbles back and charges again as he is again met with a boot to the face. Total Terror stumbles back again as Goddard fires out of the corner with discus elbow smash to the back of Total Terror head as Total Terror crumble to the mat. Goddard picks up Total Terror as hits a fisherman Suplex as he bridges up for the pin.

1!

2!

Total Terror kicks out as Goddard rolls off as he picks up Total Terror and connects with an European uppercut that almost cause Total Terror to lose his balance as he bounces off the ropes as Goddard catches Total Terror in an hour exploder suplex that sends Total Terror down as he rolls out on to the floor.

Sharper: Goddard now gaining control of the match as Total Terror rolls to the outside.

Knots: I don’t think Goddard is going to let him catch his breath.

Goddard slingshot himself over the ropes and connects with diving crossbody as both men are down on the ground as the ref starts the 10 count.

Goddard kicks out with ease due to Total Terror nonchalant pin as Total Terror slaps the mat and complains to the referee about a slow count.

Sharper: Goddard kicks out but Total Terror may have won if he had just hooked the leg.

Knots: Yeah he could have won if he wasn’t an arrogant pricks.

Total Terror scoops Goddard up as he delivers a shoulder breaker on the bad shoulder as Goddard screams out in agony. Total Terror looks down at Goddard with a smirk as rakes the face of Goddard with his boot.

Sharper: Total disrespect by Total Terror.

Knots: And this totally surprises you?

Total Terror continues to mouth off the fans in the front row as he head to the corner and up the turnbuckle. Total Terror yells at the fans for a few more moments before he comes off with a moonsault as Goddard rolls out of the way at the last second


Sharper: Total Terror took too much time up there.

Knots: But at least the front row got to hear Total Terror's Poetry corner. I am sure they can die happy now.

Goddard pulls himself up as Total Terror gets to his feet as Goddard charges at Total Terror as Total Terror ducks an attempted clothesline as Goddard bounces off the opposite ropes. Total Terror turns around and gets caught with a slingblade.

Phillips: Here is your winner, via pinfall, ‘The Hellbilly’ John Goddard!!!!!

Goddard pushes off of Total Terror as he climbs to his feet while Total Terror rolls to his side holding his head. The referee raises the hand of Goddard.

Sharper: Goddard showing his experience and able to take advantage of Total Terror’s mistake.

Knots: You mean his arrogance? We can only hope the same thing happens with Adam Allocco.

 

Sharper: Speaking of Adam Allocco, Jessica Winters is standing by with someone who may have a problem with him in Aaron Blackbourne. Jessica?”

 

Backstage, we see Jessica Winters standing next to Aaron Blackbourne at the SCW interview area.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Adam. Aaron, you had a testy exchange with the Alloccos last week. This coming the week after you went after Chris Cannon and stood up for your friend. You wanted some time to speak on it.”

 

Aaron: “Yeah, Jessica. It seems that we’re getting to a point where a lot of people are trying to get under people’s skin. Chris and Adam being the examples of it. In the moment, when Adam sucker punched me, I thought it was Alistaire. I thought maybe he had taken after his father. I watched the tape and I was wrong. See, someone like Alistaire, he may be self-righteous, and he may rub a lot of people the wrong way, but one thing is for certain with him, he earns people’s respect and he earned mine months ago. I tossed it away when his father struck me. Now, I’m not going to say what he should do about his father, but I will say that I wanted to apologize to Alistaire for getting hot-headed. For the record, I won’t apologize for standing up for Owen, or for standing up to Chris Cannon, both where I know I was right in doing so.”

 

Aaron pauses.

 

Aaron: “But tonight, I get to enter that ring to compete against someone who claims to be one of the best and maybe we need to do more of that. Competing. None of the attacks, the sucker punches, the threats…doing what we do…wrestle. And Alistaire, I know he’ll do that. And Owen…I know you’re watching and I just hope when all of this going on with you is taken care of…you’re back and ready to kick ass again.”

 

Aaron turns to Jessica.

 

Jessica: “Thank you for your comments.”

 

Aaron: “No. Thank you for the time.”

 

Jessica: “Aaron Blackbourne faces Alistaire Allocco later tonight, here on Breakdown. The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns with a live shot of the crowd as we hear Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots’ voices.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown here live in Ottawa. Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside. And we have a bit of an update on the Owen Cruze situation. We heard Aaron Blackbourne talking about him.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Looks like it’s a bit more than just a personal situation. It’s could be big.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. From what we’ve been told one of Owen’s relatives apparently died under questionable circumstances. A police investigation is ongoing and Owen, despite what we’ve been told is not being suspected in this, he has decided to help in the investigation however he can. We here at SCW hope for the best for the Cruze Family in what I’m sure is a very challenging and trying time.”

 

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd for a few moments longer.

 

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Queen:” by Loren Gray plays. The crowd boos as a few moments pass before  the Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage, holding the SCW Television Championship. She smiles as she then holds the title over her head as pink and white pyro shoots out on either side of her. TJ Johnson walks out and applauds her as she then brings the TV title down and hands it to TJ who promptly places it around her ring robe and fastens it behind her.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward made history last week when she won the SCW Television Championship. She now has only one title in SCW that she’s not held, the Tag Team Championship.”

 

Knots: “And she’s making sure the world knows she’s on top of the world. She won’t shut up about it!”

 

Sharper: “Proudly holding the TV title. Managing to roll up Dustin Adams just long enough, stopping his reign much shorter than he wanted.”

 

In her beautiful white and gold ring robe, she spins around in a circle showing it, and the title again, off the crowd. Katie then starts to walk to the ring proudly as TJ Johnson walks a few steps behind her. Katie gets to the ring and then walks up the ring steps carefully. She walks along the apron as TJ runs up after her and holds the ropes open for her. She steps in and walks over to the middle of the ring. She then looks around as the crowd. TJ Johnson walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone. Jason Phillips hands him on and TJ takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. Katie smiles as she stands in the ring. TJ then starts to speak.

 

Johnson: “Last week, history was made. Last week was when your Goddess of Desire finally won the SCW Television Championship…a title MADE for her!”

 

The crowd boos some as Katie looks around.

 

Johnson: “And almost as if it’s a vision, called down from the Goddess herself, Katie is now the Television Champion, just eleven days before Taking Hold of the Flame. The night where someone is going to get their shot to challenge for the World Title. And when it could be either Syren, someone who has said how much she owes Katie for her own career, or Sienna Swann, an angel, almost the status of Goddess, but not quite…”

 

Johnson pauses.

 

Johnson: “It’s almost preordained. And you can enjoy the journey of your Television Champion, on your TV screens all the time, no matter what says, as she finally reascends to the golden gates that are the SCW World Championship!”

 

The crowd boos, although some roar. Katie just smiles as TJ hands her the microphone.

 

Katie: “Thank you TJ. I could not have said it better myself. The fact is that I am holding gold again, as I should. My waist always looks better with gold around it.”

 

Katie chuckles to herself.

 

Katie: “And with my holding the TV Championship, I can ensure that my message gets out to all. People talking about Wonderlands when they just needed the Goddess in their life. That’s all. They needed someone like me to guide them. Just like Syren or Sienna, whoever is holding the World Championship…as you said, it must be preordained. I have risen back to my championship form just weeks before Taking Hold of the Flame. So Syren or Sienna…they can have me guide them as they can face a Hall of Famer, a legend, and then realize they are not quite there, but I can help them figure out what will make them immortal, like your Goddess.”

 

Katie smiles.

 

Katie: “SCW needs to remember who I am and Sasha, don’t worry, I am up to that challenge!”

 

???: “You’re up to a challenge?”

 

The crowd roars as we then see Mad Max Kane walk out from the back, a microphone in his hand. He runs his arm across his nose and looks down and smirks.

 

Kane: “Well I got a challenge. How about you take a powder, so ya boy, Max, the Rock’n’Roll Unicorn can win some SCW gold of his own!”

 

The crowd cheers as Katie glares at him and scoffs.

 

Kane: “Like y’all can do whatever you want a Taking Hold of the Flame. But tonight, I got my focus on that. So can we throw down, now?”

 

Kane drops the microphone. “Suck my Kiss” starts to play.

 

Sharper: “Well Max Kane is on his way to the ring! And he’s scheduled to challenge Katie Steward next!”

 

Knots: “Looks like he’s looking to end Katie’s preordainedness and all that!”

 

Sharper: “TV title on the line, when we return, here on Breakdown!”

 

Kane continues to head to the ring as Katie turns to TJ and starts to talk to him. TJ looks around as the scene fades to commercial.

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Alistaire Allocco

 

Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes!
Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes, that's where the fire lies!

The spotlights shine forth from the stage, bathing the entire arena in blinding white lights corresponding with a verse of “Eyes Like Fire” by Collision of Innocence. A figure stands in front of the curtains, his arms are extended horizontally, and his legs spread. His back is turned to the audience. As the bright lights starts to dim, you can tell the man is wearing pure white tights. A blood red sleeveless coat stretching from his defined torso down to his equally bright white boots. Alistaire kicks out his leg to turn to face the crowd as the chorus of his theme kicks in:
 
Descending on a cloud, For all the world to see
Dressed in white with strength and majesty
Robe dripping red with eyes like fire
Sword held up high behold the white horse rider
 
Cries of the martyrs he has heard your voices
Now the day nears they will pay for their choices
Look up until the day and don't ever be afraid
For vengeance isn't yours, In time they will face their grave
 
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Rochester, NY., Weighing in at 220 lbs.! Alistaire Allocco!”

He begins to walk down the ramp with his dark eyes staring intently upon the ring before him. He marches down with purpose, ignoring the fans on either side of him. He stops at the bottom of the ramp for a moment, before launching forward, sliding into the ring.
 
Descending on a cloud, For all the world to see
Dressed in white with strength and majesty
Robe dripping red with eyes like fire
Sword held up high behold the white horse rider                 
 
Once in the ring, he discards his coat by tossing it to the referee. He’s in the center of the ring, he’s hops up and down, switching his weight behind his feet as he stands. As the song begins to fade out, Alistaire stares at his goal.
 
I can hear it, I can hear it, I can hear it now
I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel it now…
 
Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco already in the ring and Adam is nowhere to be seen. We have seen Adam showing up a lot recently and to me it seems like Alistaire maybe a little torn with things lately, especially one, Peyton Rice?”
 
Knots: “Have you seen Peyton? I would be torn too if…. I was single of course. Alistaire is a pure wrestler in the ring, his dad is well…. That crazy old guy that lives next door walking around in his bath robe with nothing under it.”
 
Suddenly, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. When the lyrics kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations. When the song hits the chorus, pyro suddenly goes off on the stage in sync with the creative soul himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers.
 
Phillips: “From Seattle, WA. Weighing in at 175 lbs., he is Aaron Blackbourne!”
 
The lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed, as Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, happily accepting high fives from the fans with a smile. As he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in the same raised and outstretched pose as before, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead.
 
Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne is one who has future World Champion written all over him. We saw him come to the save a few weeks back when Chris Cannon and Owen Cruze faced one another. He is making big splashes and a win tonight over another star and former World Champion will be a huge feather on his cap.”
 
Knots: “If you could find two wrestlers who are even than look no further than Aaron Blackbourne and Alistaire Allocco. The question is Alistaire has been distracted, Aaron focused, something that has to give.”
 
The referee calls for the bell as the two athletes circle the ring, Alistaire extends his hand for a shake but Blackbourne looks out at the crowd as they scream no. Aaron shakes his head and the lock up, Alistaire pushes him into the ropes and breaks clean, backing up and nodding. Aaron nods back, they circle the ring again and lock up, this time Aaron drops to a knee for leverage and executes a fire man’s carry over, Alistaire gets up, Aaron trips him with a leg sweep, Allocco kips up, Aaron then tries to kick for the head, Alistaire ducks, grabs the back of Aaron’s leg tripping him up and jumping on top for the cover…

Aaron pushes off, rolling back to his feet, Alistaire goes for an arm drag and executes, Aaron comes back, Alistaire then attempts a hip toss, Blackbourne hooks the arm, he reverses Alistaire into the hip toss instead, Allocco springs up charging right into an arm drag by Aaron, then Blackbourne on the rebound tries to hip toss Alistaire again only for Allocco to hook his arm for the crucifix pin dropping down for the cover….

The two men stare each other down as the crowd roars and cheers at both their efforts. Alistaire claps as he circles the ring with Blackbourne. He once again extends his hand for a shake; Aaron instead slaps his hand as a show of respect….
 
Sharper: “Fast paced action and these two men are showing just how even they are. Wrestling at its finest on display.”
 
Knots: “Something has to give, Alistaire keeps trying to be cordial with Blackbourne, he better watch out before Aaron kicks his head off and ruins his chances with Peyton according to Adam.”
 
The two men circle the ring again, they lock up but this time Alistaire pushes Aaron to the ropes, he breaks, stepping back as Aaron comes off the ropes, Alistaire forearms him a few times to the chest, Irish whipping him to the ropes, he goes for a clothesline, Aaron ducks, bouncing back off the ropes with a Sling Blade, the crowd cheers as Alistaire rolls over and Aaron cannonballs on top and then follows through with a moonsault for the cover….

Aaron kicks out, he rolls over and is caught with a running but by Allocco dropping him to the mats. Allocco runs off the ropes and drops a knee to the head.

Allocco kicks out!
 
He slowly gets up, Aaron runs against the ropes and is caught with a back body drop but Aaron lands on his feet, Allocco turns around and is hit with Pull the Trigger! Alistaire falls to the mats and Aaron dives to the top rope as the crowd cheers….
 
Sharper: “Blackbourne finally found an opening to hit Pull the Trigger and it made its mark! Alistaire is down on the mats, Aaron could finish this!”
 
Knots: “Blackbourne better stop asking for the fans approval, Ali is an Allocco.”
 
Sharper: “What does that mean?”
 
Knots: “Look at his dad. Nuff said!”
 
Blackbourne goes for a double stomp but Alistaire rolls out of the way, Aaron lands on his feet, he then rolls over, gets back up, turns and is caught with a flying DDT! The crowd oh’s as Alistaire quickly dives on top for the pinfall…..

Alistaire shakes his head, picking up Aaron quickly, he runs against the ropes setting him up for Sins of the Father, going for the superkick but Aaron backs up and Alistaire misses, Aaron grabs him from behind and goes for a Herman Suplex but Alistaire reverses, picking him up for the Suplex, he flips over and runs Alistaire to the ropes but Allocco hangs on, Aaron falls back, rolling back to his feet where Allocco goes for a dropkick but Aaron sidesteps, Alistaire lands flat on his chest, Aaron quickly hooks him into a La Magistral Cradle for the pin….

Sharper: “Back and forth, these two are almost identical and one mistake could be the difference!”
 
Knots: “It’s been a long time since we have seen wrestling and these two are putting on a clinic.”
 
Allocco gets up, Aaron hits a step up Enzinguiri stunning Allocco as he stumbles back into the ropes, Aaron then runs at him with Unchained Creativity but Alistaire at the last possible second steps back, Aaron misses and Alistaire rolls him up in a School Boy ….

Alistaire quickly rolls out of the ring as Aaron kicks out a millisecond after the three count, looking stunned at the referee….
 
Sharper: “Just like that Alistaire takes the victory with a School Boy!”
 
Knots: “It was wrestling, you said one mistake, that was it! Alistaire squeaked one out Sharper!”
 
Alistaire cracks a smirk and has his hand raised by the referee as Aaron is on his knees looking right at Allocco who nods….
 
Phillips: “Here is your winner…. Alistaire Allocco!”
 
“Eyes Like Fire” by Collision of Innocence starts to play as Alistaire looks out into the crowd, holding his neck and head, raising his arm in victory and backing up the ramp still locking eyes with Blackbourne who is now on his feet….
 
Sharper: “A great wrestling match that could have gone either way, Alistaire with a huge win tonight and I am sure dad is proud.”
 
Knots: “Oh this will fuel more World Title match hopes and maybe Peyton was impressed by this, huh?”
 
Sharper: “She’s a sharp lady, I doubt that.”
 
Knots: “Women like real men, Sharper, look at Kennedy.”
 
Sharper: “Whatever.”
 
Alistaire continues to back up, nodding with a show of sportsmanship to Blackbourne who cracks a smirk and nods back. Just then, we see one the big screen a shot of Adam Allocco backstage with Peyton Rice. Alistaire turns and looks up to the big screen.

 

Adam: “Hey, I’m just trying to help you out. He’s someone who you can’t trust. He’s trying to solve a problem with violence! There’s not a violent bone in my body or Alistaire’s!”

 

Peyton: “You ran down Owen last week and the match of you son which is going on right now, it’s because of you.”

 

Adam: “A misunderstanding. I was defending my son!”

 

Peyton rolls her eyes.

 

Peyton: “You are nothing but a bad influence on him.”

 

Adam: “Am I? I’m here because I don’t want to have to have gerontocide on my conscience. I may not show it, but I’m in the gym daily for HOURS. Twenty-five hours a day! Eight days a week. And all I want is you to give my boy, Ali a chance!”

 

Peyton: “He’s his own man, Adam. And he’d be better off without you.”

 

Peyton turns to walk off as we cut to the ring to see Alistaire starting to head to the back. Backstage, Adam jukes around and spins around in front of Peyton.

 

Peyton: “Leave me alone.”

 

Goddard: “You heard the woman.”

 

Adam looks up and shakes his head and turns around. He puts his hands up.

 

Adam: “Look. Relax. I’m just trying to end this peacefully.”

 

Goddard: “That’s something you’re incapable of understanding.”

 

Adam: “Seems like YOU have a problem with it, huh! I’m just trying to get Pey-pey here a strong man to help her out. Unlike you!”

 

Peyton: “I don’t need-“

 

Adam: “Quiet, Peyton. Men are talking-“

 

Goddard: “And that’s why you need to be taught a lesson.”

 

Goddard turns to Peyton.

 

Goddard: “Come on, child. I’ll get you away from him.”

 

Goddard motions to Peyton as Peyton shakes her head at Adam and Goddard and her utrn. Adam looks at them and then lunges and nails Goddard in the back of the head. Goddard falls to a knee. Adam turns and runs off. Peyton just turns, stunned. Adam runs away as we see Alistaire Allocco appear a few feet away from where Adam is.

 

Adam: “Come on, son! They’re trying to attack me!”

 

Alistaire turns to Goddard and Peyton as Goddard just gets up, glaring and Peyton just shakes her head. They head off as Alistaire turns back to Adam and then back to Peyton and Goddard as the scene cuts away.

 

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see Sasha walking down the hallway with the SCW United States Championship. With her is Dillusion and Beard.

 

Sharper: “Next, Sasha is going to present a new US Championship to Giovanni Aries.”

 

Knots: “Think it’s going to go better than Adam’s attempt right there?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but this may be can’t miss. It’s next, here on Breakdown!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns to the ring to see Sasha standing in the middle of the ring. Notably, Dillusion and Beard are with her as we see a stand with the SCW United States Championship, a new version of the same belt Selena Frost had held, in the middle of the ring. Sasha has a microphone in her hand as the camera focuses on the title.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to the ring. The owner, Sasha, here and she said earlier she would restore the US Championship here. Provide a new version. Selena Frost showing her pride in what it represented and refusing to get it fixed.”

 

Knots: “New champion, new title I guess, but what is Giovanni Aries going to think about it?!”

 

Sasha looks around.

 

Sasha: “Ladies and gentlemen…last week, we saw a new United States Champion crowned. Now, despite the controversy of that event, the fact is that by the terms of the match, the title changed hands. Now since Tabula Rasa, we have had a title that had been dismantled and damaged by well…the man who now is the rightful holder of the title. Now, Selena Frost had too much pride to accept the new one, a sign of how much the title meant to her. A sign I respected. I know Giovanni Aries has no such pride in the title. But I am willing to use this as a fresh start.”

 

Sasha pauses for a moment.

 

Sasha: “Despite the odious things you’ve said about my family, you and I Giovanni have not had the same problems, yet…I don’t know where you got this idea of the Lizard Kingdom, but frankly, I want tonight to be a fresh start and an opportunity to allow you the chance to stand here as champion. I will ignore what you’ve said about my father…or the support you’ve given to Xander Valentine as that, frankly…I need to owe you.”

 

Sharper: “A lot of integrity there.”

 

Sasha pauses.

 

Sasha: “But realize this…I can’t stand here without knowing what you will do. So Giovanni Aries…if you could…please come here so I can present you with the SCW United States Championship.”

 

The crowd roars a bit. Sasha turns to the entrance way. A few moments pass before "Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez begins to play. The crowd roars as a few moments pass and Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. He looks down at the ring and chuckles a bit as Sasha turns and says something to Beard. Beard nods.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries coming out here. With Sam.”

 

Knots: “Where’s the old title? He was given it.”

 

Giovanni Aries then starts to walk down to the ring, looking out at the crowd before looking at the ring. He reaches the ringside area and walks one way before stopping and turning and walking back the other way before turning and rolling into the ring. Sam walks up the steel steps and steps through the ropes as Giovanni Aries slowly pulls himself up to his feet. He then turns and looks at Sasha, stepping forward and leaning in a bit. He smirks before turning and looking at Beard and then Dillusion. Sam walks across the ring, being handed a microphone. Sam walks past and keeps her eye on Sasha before handing it to Giovanni. Sasha looks at them

 

Giovanni: “I can smell the concern…”

 

Giovanni chuckles.

 

Giovanni: “You’re wounded….”

 

Sasha: “Now Giovanni, before I present you with the new US championship, I need to ask…the old one.”

 

Giovanni chuckles.

 

Giovanni: “In the trash, where it belongs.”

 

The crowd roars, while many boo. Sasha turns away.

 

Giovanni: “Why? Did you hope that what remains of its allure would cause me to fall into line? Is that what THIS is supposed to accomplish?”

 

Giovanni turns to the US Title, waving his hand at it.

 

Giovanni: “I don’t care. But if it is mine…”

 

Giovanni takes the title from the stand. He then looks at it and smiles.

 

Giovanni: “It’s a nice title, isn’t it? Spared no expense? All in the hope that I would smile, nod, and get giddy over this honour that you crafted for me. And this is why your kind will never learn.”

 

Giovanni turns and hands the title to Sam. She takes it and looks at it.

 

Giovanni: “Take it…do what you know what we should. To break this spell the Lizard Kingdom has over its subjects. Buying them off with trinkets.”

 

Giovanni laughs.

 

Giovanni: “Pathetic. I will not be swayed and I will FREE EVERYONE from the grip of the Lizard Kingdom. I will make sure EVERYONE is freed from the hold of your titles.”

 

Sasha: “Those titles are property of SCW.”

 

Giovanni: “Exactly…all the more reason to take them for my own purposes.

 

Sam steps out of the ring. Dillusion goes to stop her, but Sasha motions for him not to. Sam then starts to walk to the back.

 

Giovanni: “So…do you have any more mind tricks to keep going after me for? Or like Selena, where I have already broken her as a general of your kingdom, will you keep throwing people at me?”

 

Giovanni smirks and steps forward.

 

Giovanni: “Just like everyone competing for the Taking Hold of the Flame…I’ve already taken your flame and shown the world its bankruptcy. Others should take note. Just like I will free everyone who deserves it from Konrad to James to Xander…”

 

Giovanni laughs a bit.

 

Giovanni: “You will fall!”

 

Giovanni backs up and walks back. Sasha looks at Giovanni as Giovanni then throws his arms up. The crowd gives a mixed reaction. Giovanni then turns and rolls through the ropes to the floor. He turns and backs up and looks at the ring. Sasha looks at him as Beard and Dillusion keep watching. Giovanni chuckles again and then turns as he heads to the back.

 

Sharper: “He believes all of it!”

 

Knots: “Saying she’ll fall. He’s nuts!”

 

Sharper: “And he’s the US Champion now!”

 

Giovanni continues to back up to the back as the camera follows him.

 

Backstage, we cut to see Sam, with the new US Championship belt, walking through the backstage area, looking around, her eyes darting. She then jogs as she runs through the back entrance of the building. She looks around, eyes still darting before heading over to a parked car. She then gets into the passenger side door and sits inside. She then slams the door closed. The car then starts to move forward.

 

Sharper: “Sam is getting out of here with the title!”

 

Knots: “Who’s driving?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but she couldn’t wait to get out of here. Damian maybe? Giovanni is out here?”

 

Knots: “The hell do I know?!”

 

The car drives away as the camera focuses on it as the scene slowly fades out.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Backstage, we see Alistaire Allocco walking backstage with purpose. He takes a deep breath as he walks over to a room and knocks on the door. He waits a moment before we see the door open and Kandis open the door.

 

Kandis: “Yes…oh…you?”

 

Alistaire: “Is Peyton here?”

 

Kandis rolls her eyes.

 

Kandis: “She wouldn’t have any clue of what to do with you.”

 

Alistaire is confused.

 

Alistaire: “Excuse me?”

 

Kandis: “Oh honey. I’d love to get my hands on you.”

 

Kandis steps inside. Alistaire looks around.

 

Alistaire: “Is she here or not?”

 

A few moments later, the door opens and Peyton steps out. Alistiare has started to walk off.

 

Peyton: “Alistaire?”

 

Alistaire: “Oh…you are here. Kandis was none too helpful.”

 

Peyton: “It probably hurt her deeply just that we have to share a locker room.”

 

Alistaire: “I’m sorry…I wish, I-“

 

Peyton: “What do you want Alistaire? After earlier-“

 

Alistaire: “And I wanted to apologize for my father. He is…abrasive, but he is my father.”

 

Peyton sighs.

 

Peyton: “Why are you letting him take charge?”

 

Alistaire: “Because he’s my father. And I refuse to besmirch him. But that is neither here nor there. I wanted to apologize for him and-“

 

Peyton: “And what?”

 

Alistaire coughs and stumbles a bit. His voice gets quieter.

 

Alistaire: “I…I…”

 

Peyton: “What is it?”

 

Alistaire: “Would you…uh…do me the pleasure…of your acquaintance…at…uh…some time?”

 

Alistaire coughs nervously and looks around. Peyton’s demeanour softens.

 

Peyton: “Is your father going to be around?”

 

Alistaire: “I…Wait…you want him?”

 

Peyton: “Oh no….no, no, no.”

 

Alistaire: “Oh…I don’t think he has to be.”

 

Peyton: “Alright, Ali…how about after the show?”

 

Alistaire smiles.

 

Alistaire: “Excellent. I shall be here then.”

 

Peyton turns to the door and opens it and we see Kandis, Madison Steward and Clamidiya on the other side.

 

Kandis: “Hey! You’re getting some tonight, girl!”

 

Peyton pushes through, embarrassed and heads into the room as Alistaire gulps as the door closes.

 

Alistaire: “Some?”

 

Alistaire look around as he then starts to walk off and we cut away.

 

Ace Marshall vs. Dante McCaffery

 

A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans erupt in mixed reactions as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket.


ADRENALIZE ME


He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd.


Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, the man that might or might have actually invented professional wrestling, but definitely made it more popular than having healthy breakfast, Ace Marshall!"


Ace made his way down t the ramp Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. He looked towards both sides of the ring with a smirk on his face before rolling in beneath the bottom rope. He climbs to his feet before marching over the corner. Stepping up onto the second rope, he thrusts an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall, a man that has known what it’s like to be at the top of the wrestling world, is out here.”

Knots: “And noticeably, he’s not accompanied by his wife, Cassidy. I thought there’s a law about not having your dog leashed.”

Sharper: “They’ve been almost inseparable as of late.”

Knots: “Does swinging chairs around and attacking Dark Fantasy count as marriage therapy?”

Sharper: “Last week, we witnessed a chaotic scene last week unfold and Ace and Cassidy was in the middle of that situation.”

The opening to "Out of the Black" hits the PA system, drawing boos from the audience. The lights flash with every sound of the drum. Once the bass hits and the song kicks into gear, Dante McCaffery emerges from the curtains with a long black and yellow fur trenchcoat with another black and red jacket underneath. He immediately mouths off to the crowd and scowls. Dante glares at the crowd and shortly after, Savali, LEO and Ms. Budde walk out. Jack has his trademark steel chair in hands as he extends his arms to the crowd before he looks right at the camera. Dante looks around and starts walking down to the ring as Jack, LEO and Savali follow.
Jim Phillips: Accompanied to the ring by Savali, LEO and Ms. Budde From Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at two hundred and fifteen pounds, ...DANTE MCCAFFFEEEEEEERY!

Dante walks down to the ring, giving the fans the "shoo" gesture repeatedly. Budde scowls at the fans. Savali just glares at the camera. LEO doesn't react to anyone as he just walks down to the ring. Dante soon pauses and stares at the audience to his right for a moment. He looks around at the crowd and he says a few things.

Sharper: “Dante McCaffery, the leader of the Network, is out here. You haven’t heard or seen much from the Network in recent weeks. Not since Jordan Majors hired them at Tabula Rasa.”

Knots: “Makes you almost suspicious as if they’re making plans in the shadows they we don’t yet know about.”

Budde looks on and pulls Dante to the side. She's is seen whispering something to Dante and the latter nods. Dante then starts walking up the steel steps before turning around, giving the crowd the chance to boo him some more. Dante soon enters the ring. Budde, LEO and Savali look on the outside. Dante soon ascends up the turnbuckle. The crowd boos as McCaffery looks around the crowd. From there, Dante steps down and goes to the corner, where he and Savali talk while Budde and LEO are on the outside.

Sharper: “Dante would have sent a huge message with win over a multiple-time former SCW World Champion.”

Knots: “Maybe this has just been… part of the slow seasons, every industry has one, maybe this is the time of the year that the Network doesn’t get as many contracts.”

Dante and Ace meet in the center of the ring and begin to exchange some words. Ace Marshall offers his hand and Dante looks at it but finally he goes to shake it. Marshall pulls his hand back and brushes his hand through his hair. Dante laughs slightly, but he keeps his hand extended as if he isn’t going to move until he gets a handshake. Ace looks around and shakes his head, refusing to shake Dante’s hand. The referee steps up but Dante pushes him back with his free hand, telling Ace that he’s ‘still waiting’. Ace shrugs his shoulders, looking at the audience, before turning around and shaking Dante’s hand asking him loudly if he washes his hands before eating. Suddenly, Dante reaches up and rakes Ace’s eyes and begins to hammer away with fists to knock Ace back into the ropes. The referee shouts a warning to Dante, pulling him back. As Dante raises his arms, Ace follows up and pushes the refs out of the way. Dante goes to block but Ace reaches up and thumbs Dante in the eye. The referee pulls both of them back and separates the two, giving them both warnings.

Sharper: “This might break down into a catfight… between two men.”

Knots: “The bell hasn’t even rung and already this is turning into a three stooge’s routine.”

Sharper: “Both men’s eyes are already swelling up from the cheap shots and as you said, the match hasn’t even officially started.”

The referee finally calls for the bell. Ace and Dante circles around the ring. Ace lifts a hand to his teary eye. Dante blinks his slightly injured eyes. They both dash forward suddenly and locks up. Ace pulls Dante down to a side headlock, but Dante reaches up, hooking his mouth and pulling back. Ace bites down hard on the finger in his mouth and Dante pulls back and slips out in recoil. Ace charges forward with a clothesline to knock Dante off his feet. Dante scrambles to get back up but Ace doesn’t give him the chance, driving a knee to the side. Dante’s tossed into the corner. Ace backs up and charges forward but Dante steps up, lifts him for a flapjack and drops Ace jaw first onto the top turnbuckle. Ace bounces back, stepping right back into a Russian leg sweep from Dante. Dante wags that bitten finger as if to shake off the pain before dropping down an elbow and hooking the leg for a pin:

1…


2…

Sharper: “Ace gets the shoulder up. I think the referee doesn’t know what to make of either man.”

Knots: “Cheap shots galore. I think so many rules are being broken that the referee’s mind starting to melt.”

Dante slaps the back of Ace’s head slightly several times before leading him to his feet. He whips Ace into the ropes and jumps up with a dropkick to knock Ace down. Ace rolls underneath the ropes and to the apron. He starts to get up and Dante approaches, but he reaches for and grabs Dante and drops him face first across the top rope as he leaps off the apron. Ace slides into the ring and as Dante is still holding his face from the attack. Ace rolls him up for a pin and as the referee turns away, he steps up, putting both feet on the ropes for extra leverage.

1…


2…

Referee notices the illegal pin and breaks off. He smacks Ace’s boots but Ace stands up, extending his arms, acting as if he’s innocent. He sees Dante approaching him, and goes for Dante, but Dante catches him with a drop toe hold onto the canvas. Dante backs up into the ropes and leaps up and stomps down with both feet on Ace’s lower back. Ace yells in pain as he rubs where the impact hit the hardest and crawl towards the bottom rope. Dante takes this opportunity and drives his boot down and begins to choke Ace, grabbing onto the top rope for more leverage.

Sharper: “I can’t keep track. Right now, Dante’s blatantly choking Ace in front of the referee. It’s as if both men are deliberately trying to out cheat the other in this match.”

Knots: “I’ve heard of wrestling clinics, but what do you call this type of match?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, a dumpster fire?”

The referee reaches towards the end of the count and pulls Dante off. The referee seems to have had enough, signaling for Dante to get to one corner. Ace raises up to his feet using the ropes and begins to loudly complain to the official about Dante’s behavior. The referee points towards both and threatens to disqualify either men for breaking the rules. They both reluctantly nod their hand. The referee resumes the match. Both men circle around each other again. Dante charges forward first but runs right into a hip toss. He lands on a seated position and Ace drills Dante in the spin with a stiff kick. He runs from one side to the ring and back in front of Dante with a knee to take Dante to the canvas.

Sharper: “The referee finally manages to inject law and order into this match. Let’s see how long this lasts.”

Knots: “Dirty tricks are in their DNA! I doubt they can last very long. Other implications are intended, Adam.”

The screen suddenly shows Cassidy and Abigail backstage. They’re in catering and they are exchanging fists. Cassidy is knocked back into a metal tray rack. Abigail tosses herself onto Cassidy, knocking Cassidy and the tray rack over with a loud crash. Ace Marshall stands up and looks at the screen, distressed to see his wife in crisis. As if he forgotten the match completely, he hops out of the ring and starts to walk up the ramp. Dante sits up, confused. The referee calls for Ace to return but starts to count when he gets no response.

1…


2…


3…

Sharper: “I have not seen a more bizarre match. After both competitors having almost disqualified themselves, Ace Marshall is going to lose by count out!”

4….


5….

Knots: “Dante’s okay with this. He doesn’t care how he’s going to win. Let Ace walk out on him for all he cares. A win is a win!”

6…


7…

Ace Marshall doesn’t look back, going all the way up the ramp in a hurry, before disappearing behind the curtains.  The referee reaches the ten and calls for the bell. Dante celebrates in the middle of the ring.

Phillips: “The winner of the match, by count out, Dante McCaffery!”

 

Dante just scoffs as he looks around. The referee goes to raise his hand, but Dante pulls away.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall leaving to help his wife.”

 

Knots: “What the hell is he walking into? Abigail is going after Cassidy for distracting her allowing Ravyn to destroy her motorcycle last week by cutting the engine lines!”

 

The camera remains on the shot in the ring for a few moments longer before we cut to see Ace Marshall running through the backstage area. He looks around before walking a few more steps. He then hears a yell from a female and runs after. The camera jogs after him as Ace Marshall runs into the scene and we see Cassidy Carter down, wincing, and annoyed. Ace runs over to her.

 

Ace: “Where’s Brittany light? You know, we smash, we just do it smaller and crazier?”

 

Cassidy: “She walked off after throwing me into that. I’m going to go get that-“

 

We hear the rev of a motorcycle as Ace turns.

 

Ace: “Look out!”

 

Ace then shoves Cassidy off and into the cameraman. The cameraman and her go down. We hear a yell and a skid as Ace yells out in pain. The revving of the motorcycle is hear as we hear Abigail Lindsay.

 

Abigail: “Next time, stay out of my way!”

 

Abigail drives off, the cameraman recovering enough to shoot that. Ace can be heard in pain as we see the cameraman turning to show Ace Marshall holding his legs as he writhes on the ground.

 

Sharper: “Did….did Abigail hit him?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know. We didn’t see it! It sure as hell looks like it!”

 

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay has never been that direct and she said she’d come after Cassidy, but my God?!”

 

Cassidy checks on him. We then see some officials coming in.

 

Cassidy: “Get help your jackasses!”

 

The cameraman continues to show the chaos backstage as Ace continues to hold his legs in pain and we cut away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

The scene opens up backstage to see Andrew Raynes smirking as she looks around, with Jessica Winters next to him.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, Jessica Winters here as we are back, live, on Breakdown and I am with Andrew Raynes and you are smiling.”

 

Andrew: “Because finally someone decided to give me some respect instead of wasting my time.”

 

Jessica: “Care to explain?”

 

Andrew: “The Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. You noticed how last week, I hadn’t decided if I was going to be in it. Instead, it was really a question to SCW. Did you value what I am to this sport? And they realized that they needed to have me in there. It was that simple. Now, a better choice would be to give me a shot at a title, but I’ll take this for now. I stress, for now. But finally SCW, finally Sasha is starting to show some respect to those who deserve it. Bree may deserve better. Sienna definitely does. But at least one of the three…you’ve figured out. Again…for now.”

 

Andrew pauses.

 

Andrew: “Too bad that means that you just put everyone on this roster in danger. Anyone in that battle royal, I’m going to have fun throwing them out, so one by one, I am going to do that and trust me…some people are going to regret trying to make the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal their moment. Because as far as I’m concerned, the only people getting that moment will be someone in or related to the Beauty Factory. Why? Because not only do we deserve it…but we’ll God damned prove it!”

 

Andrew looks at the camera and then Jessica before turning and walking off as the crowd boos.

 

Konrad Raab vs. Regan Street

SCW Adrenaline Championship

 

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as the white snow comes down on the ramp. Konrad Raab comes out and looks down at the ring, wearing a hooded coat over his head with his Pitbull logo and his The Iceman nickname on the back of it, along with his name. He also wears his blue and white wrestling trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right shoulder and Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back. Notably, he’s not wearing any mask.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship! First, the challenger, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

He heads to the ring, ignoring the fans and goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and takes the hood off. Konrad climbs on the turnbuckle and then stops before shaking his head and dropping down. He paces a bit before talking to himself a bit. He then takes his entrance attire off and places it on the ropes. He then walks over to the corner and leans back, taking a few deep breaths.

 

Sharper: “Konrad Raab looks distracted and there may be good reason for this. Giovanni Aries or Damian Angel.”

 

Knots: “They are here. Damian maybe not? We just saw Giovanni and Regan knows it. Regan was fired up earlier. Konrad though…he has to know…he respected Regan in the past!”

 

Sharper: “And now with the Adrenaline Championship on the line.”

 

The arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena.
Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela behind her. The SCW Adrenaline Championship is around Regan’s waist.
 

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street, from Santa Monica, California, she is the reigning and defending SCW Adrenaline Champion, the Hellcat, Regan Street!”


She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they cheer her. Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match, followed by Mikaela. Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring; she flips over the ropes back first to the cheers from the fans, Mikaela slides after her. Once inside the ring Regan goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way as Mikaela claps before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring where she takes off her entrance attire and nods to her sister, handing her the gear and she makes her way to the corner while the Hellcat stands waiting to start her fight. She looks across at Konrad as the referee walks over. Regan hands him the SCW Adrenaline Championship. The official steps back, holding it over his head as the crowd roars and the SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen.

Sharper: “Regan Street ready. She’s pissed off. She’s still thinking about what happened last week and if Giovanni or Damian come out.”

 

Knots: “What about Xander?”

 

Sharper: “A lot to think about, and this is with an Adrenaline Championship match in the heart of it all!”

 

The referee hands off the title. He steps back and the bell sounds. Regan then runs right up to Konrad who looks at her and Regan nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Konrad covers up as Regan nails again and again.

Sharper: “Regan is trying to get Konrad to lose it right at the start. She doesn’t care!”

 

Knots: “Well Konrad’s only been triggered by the mask. It’s like a switch goes off that turns on that alter ego. Regan’s trying to hard wire it!”

 

Regan then grabs Konrad and Konrad shoves her back. She rolls through. Konrad runs out and goes for a clothesline. Regan ducks and stops and Konrad turns around and Regan hits a dropkick. Konrad hits the mat. Regan goes for the pin.

Regan ducks and Konrad stops and turns and Regan hits a kick to the ribs and then grabs his head and hits a facebuster.

 

Sharper: “Regan coming out a house on fire. Konrad with no answers to this point!”

 

Knots: “And that may be the point! Regan wants this done fast so if Damian comes out or Giovanni comes out.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. Could be trying to get Konrad to snap though too!”

 

Konrad rolls over and grabs at the ropes. He starts to get up and Regan kicks him in the ribs. She then pulls him back and goes for a Russian leg sweep. She rolls through and goes for the pin.

Regan rolls over as Konrad rolls to his back. He takes a moment before starting to get up. Regan grabs at the ropes and pulls herself up and turns around and Konrad nails her with a European uppercut. Regan hits the mat. She gets up and Konrad nails her with another European uppercut. The crowd ohs and Regan turns over and Konrad grabs her and runs her into the corner chest first. She staggers out and Konrad clubs her in the back. He then hoists her up and hits a back suplex. Regan rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Konrad fighting back. Finding that opening and a big back suplex.”

 

Knots: “Konrad may have been trying to get that high-flying stuff going, but his bread and butter here may be that he is stronger than Regan!”

 

Sharper: “He’s going high-risk now.”

 

Knots: “Idiot!”

 

Konrad exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. Regan rolls over and gets up and Konrad dives off and hits a crossbody! The crowd ohs and Konrad hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Konrad starting to get more aggressive here.”

 

Knots: “That knee had something behind it.”

 

Sharper: “Is it focus or something else though?”

 

Konrad Raab then nails her with a European uppercut. Regan nearly falls back and Raab then climbs up to the middle rope. He grabs Regan and hooks her up. The crowd roars as the referee counts for them to get down. Regan then nails him in the ribs and then again and again. She headbutts him and then grabs the top rope and kicks him in the ribs. Raab falls back, but his arm catches the official in the head. He goes down, rolling over and Raab rolls over. He then gets up and Regan dives off and lands on his shoulders and snaps him off with a frankensteiner. The crowd roars. Regan starts to get up and we then see Damian Angel and Giovanni Aries heading out from the back. Mikaela yells at Regan and Regan turns and smirks before motioning to both to get into the ring. Giovanni and Damian reach the ringside area before Regan steps forward and even sits on the ropes. She then backs up.

 

Sharper: “Mikaela calling out Regan to the company coming to the ring.”

 

Knots: “As predicted, Giovanni Aries and Damian Angel are coming here and that’s not good for anyone. Guess Damian wasn’t the driver!”

 

Sharper: “Regan happy to fight them.”

 

Konrad meanwhile starts to get up and Regan continues to goad them into the ring. Damian and Giovanni reach the ring, but Konrad grabs Regan from behind, unaware of Damian and Giovanni present and hits a German suplex with a bridge. But there’s no count. Konrad looks around as the crowd boos and Konrad lets go and turns as Giovanni and Damian Angel pull themselves into the ring. Konrad looks up at them and steps forward. Giovanni then reaches into his coat and pulls out a new mask, this one multicoloured.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries and Damian Angel are in the ring.”

 

Knots: “They have a new mask…don’t put it on Konrad! Don’t do it!”

 

Sharper: “It’s all the colours of the rainbow…”

 

Giovanni smiles as he looks at Konrad. He hands it to him. Konrad takes the mask and looks at it. Mikaela looks at ringside and yells at Konrad. Damian leans in and says something as Giovanni steps over and looks at Regan. Regan starts to stir and Giovanni leans down. Selena Frost then runs out from the back. She runs down to the ring, wincing, and in pain. The crowd roars. She slides into the ring as Giovanni turns and stomps the official for good measure. He then notices Selena. Damian turns and Selena slides in. She gets up and Damian goes for a hard right, but Selena ducks. She winces and bounces off the ropes and nails Giovanni with a forearm shot and then another. Damian then nails her with a kick to the ribs. Selena grimaces and falls to a knee. She lets out an angry yell and nails Damian with a shot before Giovanni knees her in the ribs and hits a hip throw. Regan then gets up and nails Damian with a hard right and then nails Giovanni with a kick to the ribs and then again and again. Damian then looks at Konrad as Konrad looks around. Mikaela enters the ring as Konrad looks at the mask. He then looks up as Regan attacks Giovanni. Damian Angel then looks over as Mikaela grabs the mask. Konrad looks at her.

 

Mikaela: “You don’t need it! You’re competing without it! It’s a way for them to control!”

 

Konrad: “But maybe this is the only way I get respect…”

 

Mikaela: “This is how you lose it!”

 

Damian then comes in and kicks Mikaela in the ribs before nailing Konrad with a knee. He grabs the mask and places it over the head of Konrad. He pulls on the back of it. Konrad looks up and turns before Regan turns and sees this and runs over and sees Mikaela knocked over and kicks Damian in the ribs before forearming him in the jaw and then again. Konrad then grabs Regan from behind and clubs her in the back and then again and again and again. He grabs her and pulls her back as Glory Braddock runs out from the back.

 

Sharper: “Damian forcing the mask onto Konrad and Konrad, that switch…”

 

Knots: “So is it Black Ice? Is it something else?”

 

Sharper: “Does it matter? But here comes Glory!”

 

Glory slides in as Konrad tries to pull Regan into an armtrap German suplex. Glory then runs over and clubs Konrad in the back and then again and again. Konrad lets go and elbows Glory. He then looks at her before Selena gets up and dropkicks Konrad back into the ropes. Selena winces and gets up as Glory gets up and kicks Konrad in the leg and Giovanni then walks over and grabs Glory and spins her through to the apron. Giovanni then backs up as Damian gets up and Regan stirs too. Giovanni turns around and Selena hits another dropkick, rolling over, grimacing in pain.

 

Sharper: “Selena just trying to do anything to rid the ring of Giovanni while fighting Damian and Konrad now too!”

 

Knots: “She’s got to be in pain from last week. Regan’s back up! This is a war!”

 

Sharper: “Thank God Xander’s not here!”

 

Knots: “How do we know he’s not?! What if he’s watching for the perfect moment to strike?”

 

Selena then rolls over as Damian stomps Selena in the back. She rolls over. He then turns as Regan runs over and clotheslines him over the top rope. Damian rolls through to the floor as Giovanni rolls to the floor and Glory then climbs up to the top rope. She turns and dives off with a moonsault onto Giovanni and Damian. The crowd roars. Selena sees the official stirring as Konrad then turns and grabs Regan from behind. He clubs her in the back and then again before Regan jumps up and hits a pump knee to the side of the head. Regan rolls over and Konrad staggers before stepping forward only for Regan to grab him and hit the CATastrophe! The crowd roars. Regan rolls Konrad over and goes for the pin. Selena watches in the ring as the official falls forward and counts.

 

1!

 

 

2!

 

 

3!

 

The crowd roars as the bell is sounded. Regan then looks at Konrad as Glory rolls over into the ring, wincing a bit.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and still SCW Adrenaline Champion…Regan Street!”

 

Glory looks at Regan.

 

Glory: “The mask! Take the mask off!”

 

Regan looks at Konrad before then pulling the mask off and we then notice as on Konrad’s face is some green, red and blue face paint. They look at it as Giovanni and Damian start to get up and back away. Selena then gets up and lunges, but grimaces, wincing as she falls to the ropes. She then grits her teeth looking at them as Glory gets up and looks at Konrad as Regan then looks at Konrad before turning and moving to Mikaela. Konrad remains down from the CATastrophe.

 

Sharper: “There’s facepaint…”

 

Knots: “Giovanni and Damian are leaving…there was something in that mask!”

 

Sharper: “It’s smudged but…what is going on here? What are Giovanni and Damian playing at?”

 

Knots: “Black Ice emerged, but….I don’t get this. What I know is that Regan Street is still the Adrenaline Champion!”

 

Sharper: “And Xander Valentine didn’t show up.”

 

Selena looks on as Giovanni and Damian walk to the back. Damian has a smirk on his face as Giovanni heads off. Regan goes to Mikaela as Glory looks at Konrad and we cut away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:

We see Konrad Raab sitting up on the ring apron. Instead of anger as we’ve seen come out of his Black Ice persona, we see instead a complete look of calm as he sits on the edge.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and officials gave Konrad Raab space unsure of what was unleashed by the last match. But as you can see…it’s very different.”

 

Knots: “Whatever that mask was, it unleashed something and now, it’s just pure calm. The facepaint also…”

 

The video continues to play as we see Konrad Raab just smiling as he looks up at the lights and then all around, the camera now getting a good shot of the green ,red and blue facepaint that was left, smudged, on his face. He then slowly starts to head to the back. We see a couple of officials looking on, concerned as Konrad walks over and smiles before nodding and then continuing to head to the back. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. In the darkness we hear the thumping of a heart beating twice. With each beat we see a pink heart on the screens, and pink lights on the stage flashing in unison. After a few more seconds of darkness we hear the heart beating twice more, accompanied by the same lights. A few more seconds of darkness are followed by two more flashes of light, this time in a silhouette against the lights we see the figure of a woman standing. Two more heart beats once again show the silhouette of the woman. The crowd boos and “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. The lights come back up as the crowd roars to find Syren standing in the middle of the stage, holding the SCW World Championship.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She looks at the ring as CHBK walks out after her with Alexander Crowe. Syren starts to head to the ring as CHBK and Crowe follow. The boos continue to come from the crowd as she makes her way down the ramp.

 

Sharper: “Syren is the World Champion. She held it before her quote unquote injury put her on the shelf. She faces Sienna Swann in eleven days to unify her title with Sienna’s and to return to an undisputed World Championship.”

 

Knots: “And it’s already gotten personal because of Syren’s husband. He’s Chris Cannon’s nephew. And I don’t even know who I want to win this. I was great watching Kennedy nail both of them last week!”

 

Syren reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She walks along the apron and looks out at the crowd as the crowd boos. CHBK steps into the ring as Crowe follows and then holds the ropes open for Syren. Syren steps into the ring. She looks at the crowd with disdain as CHBK is handed a microphone. He takes it and walks over to Syren. He says something to her. Syren nods and takes it and looks around as the music fades out. Syren continues to look around and then to her World Championship.

 

Syren: “Let’s make this clear. I am your World Champion!”

 

The crowd boos as Syren looks around.

 

Syren: “Sorry, Sienna. But you were holding a placeholder while I was recovering and no matter what anyone says, my doctors didn’t clear me and I am not going to sacrifice my body for anyone but myself.”

 

Syren looks around.

 

Syren: “That out of the way, looks like you and I are going to finally get our one on one match. You wanted so hard to get your credibility at my expense, competing against me one on one…I knew full well you didn’t deserve it. And I already know you’ll bring up Rise to Greatness…great…when Donovan Kayl and Thirteen wanted to take me out and allowed you to ride them to the end. You then ducked me while you were champion and at Making Things Right, I made sure the right result happened. Katya made sure the right result happened and SCW has a champion that not only can they be proud of, but someone who is breaking records!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Knots: “You needed half the roster to help you!”

 

Sharper: “Sienna tried the same. It’s why this time, no help.”

 

Syren: “And you can make excuses there, but at Taking Hold of the Flame, you have to face me one on one. You don’t get to bring your boy toy who clearly just wanted to upgrade for a newer model. What happens when you get a grey hair? Then again, Chris doesn’t seem as quick as he once was as Xander proved that.”

 

Syren smirks as she looks at Alexander.

 

Syren: “See, Sienna, I’m going to just come out and say it. I should not need to prove anything. You can stop playing champion as the real champ is back. I’m going return things back to normal, since I’m forced too…even if my neck may be a bit off. My back may not be one hundred percent. No matter how much the crooked doctors of SCW say I’m cleared, I know my body, but even still, I’ll make sure I kick your ass and march to main event Rise to Greatness yet again. Sorry, Sienna…you aren’t getting your first time. Not on my watch. But that’s fine…you get the match you wanted a year ago. I’ll prove that you still have plenty to go. And if you doubt it, I have a younger, faster, much more attractive Cannon in my life. I’ve got the greatest mentor one could ever ask for and someone who has held the World Championship more than most. I’m one of the people that’s not including in that…because I’ve held it more. Now, Sienna, I could be worried that you may make me your new symbol to pattern yourself off of, already becoming the Perfect Ten. Well, that won’t happen. Instead, after Taking Hold of the Flame, you won’t be able to call yourself champion. You won’t be able to act like you’re better than everyone. You’ll just be looking at me and being oh so TOTALLY JEALOUS as I walk into Rise to Greatness to defend MY title!”

 

The crowd boos as Syren looks at the crowd. Just then, the lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.

{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache, cast away
Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}

 

“Natural” by Imagine Dragons plays as the crowd roars and boos some more. Syren turns to the entrance way and scoffs. Bree Lancaster walks out from the back with Scott Burnside. Bree has a microphone in her hand as she looks down at the ring.

 

Syren: “What do you want?”

 

Bree: “Oh I figured I’d come out here and just see the arrogance up close and personal because frankly Syren, if anyone is going to be jealous, it’s going to be you. Sienna Swann is going to prove that she’s surpassed you and you’re going to be left behind. But that’s fine because I’m going to be the one standing across from Sienna and we both can laugh at you!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Syren: “Be careful Bree. You’re just running around wanting everything. I heard you broke speed records to get Sasha to hand you a US title shot.”

 

Bree: “Unlike you, I have high tastes. I think bigger and if it means holding every title I know I can hold with grace and talent, then I’m going to. You can have your seven World Title reigns. I’m going to cling to one title, I’m not going to make it that everyone I am close to will do EVERYTHING to hold onto that title so you don’t lose your mind. One day, I will proudly be champion, but for now, I’ll happily take getting the US Title away from Giovanni Aries, and giving Rise to Greatness the greatest display when Sienna and I meet. Again, for the title you claim is yours, when really, you’re the placeholder. SCW moved on without you and got far better!”

 

Syren smirks and walks over to the ropes.

 

Syren: “So you’re just Sienna’s booster now. Good to see you’ve taken to being her bitch.”

 

Bree: “Just like Ravyn is yours? What about CHBK? A legend in this sport. Happy to cater to your ego. And as for Alexander there…sorry, but while you have a child, Sienna has a man and trust me, Sienna is more of a catch than you.”

 

Syren: “Well BELIEVE THAT…Bree, but I’ll still be World Champion. And if you manage to make it through the thirty-nine others at Taking Hold of the Flame, I’ll have no problem showing the world that the Beauty Factory is second rate to Infamous.”

 

Bree: “We’ll see Syren. But without all of your allies…your time may be running out and you’ll need to find a new plan. And while you’re realizing it, Sienna, Chris, myself and the new Tag Team Champions, the Truelove Twins, we’ll be proving what we have been for the last year. We are the standardbearers.”

 

Bree brings the microphone down.

 

Syren: “Sorry…Sienna will just have to realize that not everything will go her way…just like later tonight.”

 

Bree shakes her head. “Groupie” by Cassie Steele plays as Syren steps back and repositions the title over her shoulder.

 

Sharper: “Things getting heated between Syren and Bree. Infamous/Dark Fantasy, whatever you want to call them, and the Beauty Factory. And while Syren and Bree are going at it, Sienna will be teaming with Chris Cannon in just a few moments against Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews.”

 

Knots: “And it’s only going to get more intense from here.”

 

Bree just waves Syren off and walks to the back. Syren then steps back as Alexander Crowe grabs her and kisses her. Syren smiles as they turn and raise each other’s hands. The crowd boos as CHBK just looks on, proud of Syren.

 

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Sienna Swann & Chris Cannon vs. Infamous comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “They talked about it. We’re going to see it next. Beauty Factory faces Infamous. First time ever. And it’s next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we open up with another wide shot of the crowd in Ottawa.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Almost main event time here.”

 

Knots: “You know who I haven’t missed?”

 

Sharper: “Who?”

 

Knots: “Xander Valentine. Not here. We’ve not seen him.”

 

Sharper: “That makes me even more concerned. Selena Frost is focused on him. We’ve seen him potentially helping Giovanni.”

 

Knots: “Think he was the driver earlier?”

 

There is a pause.

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. But that…I don’t know. I just would love to know why Xander Valentine is not here. He goes after Selena’s wife. He has been threatening anyone.”

 

Knots: “Do you think he respects anyone?”

 

Sharper: “I sure as hell don’t think so. He doesn’t even have the fortitude to confront Selena or Regan or anyone else he’s been terrorizing.”

 

Sienna Swann & Chris Cannon vs. Infamous (Ravyn Taylor & Christy Matthews)

 

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans boo loudly as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose. Her fists are taped, and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairy-tale.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, representing Infamous, accompanied by Christopher Richter, from Overland Park, Kansas, she is Christy Matthews!”

  

As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

...E B D O N E N T E R T A I N M E N T P R E S E N T S...

...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...

As she begins to push her way down to ringside, and security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way, we see that she's joined by her manager, Christopher Richter. Christy ignores every one of them as she walks past them, focusing on the ring. She makes her way down to the barricade, leaping over and begins climbing the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope, pulling down the hood of her jacket and striking the mock-crucifix pose once more. As the second chorus of “King of the World” hits Christy sings along with the lyrics, continuing to strike the crucifix pose before finally leaping over the top rope and spinning around in the ring, throwing her ring jacket to the outside and collapsing to a seated position in the corner of the ring as the fans boo. She sits in the corner, looking out at the fans occasionally as Richter collects her belongings from her corner and stands on the outside of the ring nearby.

 

Sharper: “Christy Matthews will team with Ravyn Taylor tonight. Ravyn Taylor getting everyone’s attention. Last week, Ace Marshall and Kim Williams going for her.”

 

Knots: “And Christy I guess is happy to be a good soldier. Cost Cassidy the titles and now Ace and Cassidy going for Dark Fantasy. Kim and Marie going for Dark Fantasy, linked with their hatred of Katya. Abigail Lindsay, she just wants Ravyn!”

 

Sharper: “And that’s another layer to this one.”

 

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

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

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

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

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

 

Phillips: “Her partner, representing Infamous and Dark Fantasy, from Malibu, California, she is the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

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

 

 

 

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark…..
 
Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. We then hear a woman’s voice that sounds a lot like Kelcey Wallace over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.”

 

The voice then switches to Chris Cannon.

 

“And SIENNA SWANN!”
 
“Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play. Sienna Swann walks out with her head down with Chris Cannon walking out with her. The two look out at the crowd as the crowd boos. Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to pepper down on her and Chris from the “paparazzi” staged around them, Laura making sure that they take plenty of pics of the couple. The photographers and Laura leave and head to the back as Twins do as well. Chris and Sienna start to head down to the ring. 

 

Phillips: “And their opponents, representing the Beauty Factory, they are Chris Cannon and the interim SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann!”
 
Sienna and Chris walk down to the ring, hand in hand as the crowd boos. Sienna’s interim World Championship sits proudly around her waist. They stop at the end of the ramp and Sienna looks up to the rafters as a gold spotlight like the light of heaven shines down on her as gold glitter begins to rain down on the entire arena. Chris smirks as he walks up the steel steps. He then enters the ring as Sienna smirks and hops into the ring, spreading her arms out and smiling before taking off her wings from help of Chris. He places them outside as he then carries Sienna off the top rope and places her down on the mat. Sienna just looks across at Christy and Ravyn, who both look unimpressed, and smirks at them. The crowd boos as Sienna then takes off her interim World Championship and holds it over her head. She steps forward. Christy then steps forward and nails her with a forearm shot. Sienna falls back and to the corner and Chris steps forward, snapping at the official. Christy backs up as Ravyn smirks.

 

Sharper: “Sienna milking all of this. The first time Chris and Sienna team in an SCW ring.”

 

Knots: “And Christy just said hi!”

 

Sharper: “Sienna and Chris riled up. Ravyn and Sienna have a long history too.”

 

Sienna snaps at the official as Chris does too. The referee checks if they’re ready to fight and they do and he calls for the bell. Sienna then bolts past Chris as Sienna nails Christy with a hard forearm. Christy nails her with one. Chris is forced out of the ring as Ravyn watches. Chris eixts as Sienna nails Christy with a hard forearm. She falls to the Infamous corner. Sienna moves in before Ravyn reaches over and nails her with a forearm shot. Sienna stumbles back. She then looks at her before Christy runs out and rolls through into a school boy.

Sharper: “Sienna getting the boots up. She’s getting frustrated to start.”

Sharper: “And now the tag to Chris Cannon.”

 

Sienna tags in Chris. Chris enters as Sienna checks her mouth. Chris walks over to Christy and knees her in the ribs. Christy winces and Cannon chops her. The crowd woos. He whips her across.

Chris gets up and Ravyn back rakes him. Chris looks back. He throws a punch, but Ravyn ducks and then jumps up and hits an enziguri kick. Chris falls to his hands and knees.

 

Sharper: “Sienna and Ravyn having a bit of a back and forth. We all remember their wars and mind games over the Women’s Championship before that was deactivated.”

 

Knots: “And that’s still fresh for both!”

 

Sharper: “And Chris Cannon and Ravyn have history from the Monarchy days. And Ravyn is getting some revenge for that right now too.”

Christy rolls over, throwing her arm over Cannon as Ravyn rolls out of the ring. Sienna keeps trying to get into the ring. The crowd counts the fall.

 

Sharper: “Evolutionary Synthesis as Ravyn didn’t hesitate in the slightest!”

 

Knots: “Sienna has the ref though! She’s incensed by Christy! Another cheap shot!”

 

Sharper: “One! Two! Three! Infamous would win this!”

 

Christy remains down as Sienna backs off as the official turns and counts. Sienna then slides in.

She smirks and runs into the ropes and Sienna nails her with a knee. Sienna then sets her up for the Winning Through Pageantry, but Christy runs over and forearms Sienna. She forearms him again and again.

Ravyn reaches in and pulls the referee out. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn with the save. Again, that would’ve ended it. Sienna with the Kiss. Only a two!”

 

Knots: “The official may disqualify Ravyn. She pulled out the official!”

 

The referee reprimands Ravyn as Sienna walks around the ring. Chris rolls off and looks over. He starts to get up and just as he does, we then see Kennedy Street running out from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers. Chris heads over to the ropes and Kennedy slides in and gets up and nails Sienna with a clothesline. The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Kennedy turns and runs over and nails Chris from behind with a dropkick. Chris goes up and over and lands on Ravyn, who just narrowly moves, but still gets caught.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street had enough! Nails Sienna!”

 

Knots: “If anyone is getting their hands on Chris Cannon, it’s going to be her. She’s got unfinished business and lord knows, she hates everyone else in there!”

 

Sharper: “Even got Ravyn for good measure.”

 

Chris rolls over as Kennedy exits the ring. Chris falls over to the barricade and falls over the top of it to the crowd. Kennedy runs over and forearms him. He falls over and Kennedy steps through and exits into the ring. She follows Chris as the crowd roars. Chris covers up as Kennedy nails him again and again.

The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy and Chris fighting through the crowd.”

 

Knots: “Chris is just trying to get out of dodge. But Sienna’s all alone. And here comes Syren. Like a shark smelling blood!”

 

Sharper: “She’s damn sure not above taking a cheap shot to get ahead!”

 

Syren gets up in the ring as we see CHBK also a few steps behind. He hops onto the apron as Syren gets up and Sienna looks around to Ravyn and then Christy, then CHBK and finally Syren. Syren smiles and rubs her hands as Sienna looks around, gravely concerned. Then we see Bree Lancaster, London and Paris Truelove all running out from the back. CHBK notes this to Syren and they slide into the ring. Bree goes after Ravyn as London turns and kicks Christy in the ribs. Syren nails Sienna as Sienna fires back. The crowd starts to cheer as Paris goes for CHBK. Paris gets a few shots in as Christy fights back on London. Ravyn and Bree trade blows as Sienna and Syren continue to trade blows before Syren gets a slight advantage by raking the eyes.

 

Sharper: “Dark Fantasy or Infamous, they’re fighting the Beauty Factory. And funny enough, this can’t happen at Taking Hold of the Flame!”

 

Knots: “Better make the most of it! Take everyone out!”

 

Sharper: “And look! It’s Angelica Jones!”

 

Knots: “And she’s not alone!”

 

We cut to the entrance way to see Angelica Jones, Marie Jones and Kimberly Williams running down from the back. The crowd cheers as they run down to the ring. They slide in and Angelica immediately nails Paris in the back and spins her around, throwing her to the floor. Marie nails Syren from behind.

Sharper: “Angelica Jones, Kimberly Williams and Marie Jones standing tall in the ring!”

 

Knots: “Kennedy’s not the only one who hates everyone in that ring!”

 

Sharper: “And looks like Angelica may have some options if James Evans can’t compete in eleven days at Taking Hold of the Flame. Syren and Sienna will need to wait to fight!”

 

Knots: “And Marie and Kim sending a message to Dark Fantasy and Katya. If they’re connected, they’re not going to go down quietly!”

 

Sharper: “What a night here on Breakdown!”

 

Angelica looks around as Kim and Marie do too. Dark Fantasy huddles on one side of the ring, looking on as Beauty Factory congregates on the other side as Breakdown slowly fades to black…
