MAIN SHOW:

The scene opens up backstage to see a mass of security personnel backstage. Dean Black is with them.

Dean: “Okay. We’re getting ready for Xander to be here any moment. We want to make sure that we get him to his locker room. After that, it’s on him.”

Dean looks around.

Dean: “Got it?”

The security personnel yell out, responding affirmatively. Dean nods.

Dean: “Then whenever he’s here, bring him in!”

Sharper: “Xander Valentine ended Breakdown by attacking Regan Street last week.”

Knots: “Tonight. He’s getting a security detail. At least to start!”

Sharper: “This could be a wild night.”

The scene fades to black.

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 Little Caesars Place in Detroit, Michigan. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “Welcome to Detroit-“

Knots: “It’s happening!”

We cut backstage to see Xander Valentine outside of the building as a couple of security personnel are with him. Artemis is by his side. Xander tries to get through before Dean Black comes out.

Xander: “Dean. You’re going to personally welcome me?”

Dean: “We’re going to make sure we get you to your locker room. I have a job to do.”

Xander smirks as he steps forward. Artemis walks forward with them and Xander steps forward. He glances at Artemis and she steps forward. Xander steps into the building as the camera angle changes from inside. We see the sea of security personnel start to get ready to escort. Xander steps forward. Artemis walks in forward too and Xander looks at the group. He then glances back.

Xander: “At least someone finally has some respect for what I am capable of.”

Dean: “This is just to ensure you get to your locker room safely. If you get there and you have something happen, you’re on your own.”

Xander looks at Dean.

Xander: “Then practice what you preach. You stand there.”

Dean nods as Xander steps forward. Artemis walks with him and the security personnel start to surround him. They take a few steps.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine arriving here at the Little Caesars Arena. Invited to return, but if he did, he had to face the consequences. All of those who want to face him.”

Xander and Artemis keep walking and Xander notices Dillusion, standing to the side. Xander just looks at him and turns away. Dillusion shakes his head as Xander and Artemis take a few steps forward. We then see Regan Street with Mikaela storming into the view from farther in the building.

Regan: “Just get the hell out of a way. You want to come at me. I’m not going to wait!”

The crowd roars as Regan steps forward and a couple of the security members step forward and stop her. Regan tries to get past as Xander just watches her. Regan is pushed back by the security guards.

Regan: “Do you two really want to get hurt? All for him?”

Regan looks at them as the guards keep pushing them back. Dean Black notably remains at the back entrance, where Xander told him to stay.

Knots: “Just let Regan go!”

Regan just keeps trying to get forward, but the personnel keep holding her back and Regan then kicks one in the ribs and nails the other with a forearm and then a hard right and another. The personnel goes down as Regan turns and grabs the other one and throws him to the side. Xander then steps up and boots her in the face again. Regan falls back and down to the floor. Security surrounds Xander and Artemis as we see some officials come into the view to help keep Regan back. Regan rolls over as Mikaela helps her up.

Sharper: “Xander with another shot. Almost goading Regan.”

Knots: “He doesn’t care. He wants Regan to break through. He knows he can’t just do what he wants! So he’s going to take his cheap shots!”

Xander looks on as Regan starts to get up, holding her jaw and turns and starts to move forward. We then see Goddard and Peyton Rice coming over to the scene. Selena Frost is with them too as Trinity walks with her. Regan gets up and the officials try to keep her back. Xander remains in the middle of the security personnel as the crowd roars. Xander looks at group of wrestlers slowly filing in.

Xander: “Looks like you may need to get aggressive to get me to my locker room.”

Xander steps forward and the guards keep him there as Regan turns and tries to get through. She then looks around as a few official break off to get Selena, Trinity, Peyton and Goddard back.

Trinity: “Regan, love. Let him in. Do what you want when the guards are gone.”

Regan: “Don’t want to wait!”

Regan then turns to Goddard.

Regan: “You want to bring down righteousness or some crap?”

Goddard: “What are you thinking?”

Regan: “You’re the only one who can throw me. So throw, old man.”

Xander chuckles as Goddard then looks at her and then turns to Peyton as Peyton turns and gets the officials attention as Mikaela does the same, falling into a few, only for Goddard to turn and hoist Regan up as if going for a press slam. She turns and Goddard steps forward and throws. Regan falls short, landing on a couple of the personnel in front of Xander, but knocking them down. She rolls through and into Xander. Xander then grabs her and pulls her up by the hair as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “My God! Goddard throwing Regan in!”

Knots: “But Xander has her! She may has just gotten herself an ass-kicking!”

Selena steps forward to try and get over to help Regan. The officials, however, move in keep Selena, Trinity, Peyton, Mikaela and Goddard back. We then see Damian Angel and Giovanni Aries step forward in the back area, watching them. Selena pulls back and turns back. She then starts to move toward them. Giovanni smirks as he takes a drag of his cigarette. Back to Regan, we see Xander club Regan in the back and then again. He gets pulled away by one security guard before Artemis nails him in the ribs with a shot. Xander turns back and Regan jumps up and nails Xander with a series of hard right hands to the jaw. The crowd erupts in cheers as Regan gets a couple of shots in and Xander pushes her off. She falls into the wall. She turns back and nails Xander with a hard right and then another.

Sharper: “Regan teeing off on Xander!”

Knots: “Regan’s making the best of it!”

We cut back to show Selena getting held back by a couple of officials as Giovanni throws his cigarette at her.

Giovanni: “Watch the benefits of the Wonderland!”

Selena lunges as Damian then steps up. Officials keep them apart as we see Glory Braddock walking into the scene too and a couple break off to stop her. Regan meanwhile is shoved back again. She moves back in and nails him again and again as Artemis just watches the security guards, who now have created some space for Xander and Regan. Regan then grabs him by the head and tries to take him down, but Xander blocks it and lifts Regan up and then turns and just throws her back into the wall. Regan hits and falls down. She remains on her feet, gritting her teeth. She steps forward and Xander nails her with a hard right. Regan falls back again and then turns and starts to move back as security decides to take the moment to close ranks around Xander. They pull him back and Artemis too. Several step forward to Regan and Regan tries to get through. We cut back to see Glory and Selena both being held back while Trinity and Peyton step back while Goddard and Mikaela continue to tussle with guards. Damian smirks as Giovanni lights another cigarette.

Sharper: “Xander being pulled out as we see the Wonderland well represented and Selena…Glory, they want to get to them.”

Knots: “Selena saw them first. This is insane!”

Sharper: “We’re spread thin back there as Regan wants to fight! Xander and that woman with her, being forced back.

Xander and Artemis move back through the back entrance and Dean looks at him.

Xander: “Looks like it didn’t work.”

Dean: “Looks like you’re running.”

Xander: “You want to give yourself work then.”

Xander steps back and turns and nails Dean with a hard right. Dean falls into the wall. SXander is forced out by the security as Regan keeps trying to get to them. Artemis is forced out before Dean Black steps forward and grabs Xander and spins him around. He nails him with a hard right and then another. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Dean Black! Former World Champion! He’s now going after Xander!”

Knots: “Everyone hates Xander!”

Regan just stops and looks at Dean. She then tries to push forward as Dean gets a third shot in and Xander headbutts him. Dean falls back to the wall. Xander is then pushed out of the building. The doors close behind as Regan steps forward, before the officials stop her again.

Regan: “Let him back in! We can do this again!”

The crowd roars as we see Regan getting held back, now physically grabbed as Trinity steps over to pull Regan back.

Trinity: “It’s over…for now.”

Regan: “Damn right, just for now!”

Selena watches as a few personnel pull Giovanni and Damian back.

Selena: “You could take me out right now. Won’t even move!”

Damian smirks as Giovanni takes another drag. Glory Braddock stands with Selena. Officials start to gradually get control of the situation as the crowd roars.

We cut to the ringside area to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

Knots: “So that went as planned? Huh?”

Sharper: “It was supposed to get Xander to his locker room. Instead, he’s back out of the arena and who knows how many security personnel now need medical attention!”

Knots: “Nevermind that Giovanni and Damian just watching got Selena going. Glory was ready to fight.”

Sharper: “And we’re just getting started. Tonight, it may be a night for revenge. How nice would that be? We have Owen Cruze facing Chris Cannon tonight in our main event. We have Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews to team up to face Ace Marshall and Kim Williams.”

Knots: “Hey. I can get behind that. But I don’t think we’re done with what we just had happen. Do you think Xander’s going to just stay out? He didn’t last week. We thought he wasn’t there. Regan wants to fight. Even Dean Black got in there. Goddard and Peyton wanted some. Selena too.”

Sharper: “Well, you saw that and well-“

“Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play and a golden hue comes over the arena.

Knots: “This show went south fast!”

We cut to the entrance way as we see Sienna Swann and Bree Lancaster walk out from the back. They look around the arena as the crowd boos loudly. Scott walks out with Bree and stands behind her. Sienna and Bree then turn to one another as Sienna proudly looks at the SCW World Championship around her waist. She then starts to walk down to the ring. Bree walks alongside her with Scott a few strides behind them.

Sharper: “And when we return, it looks like we’ll be seeing Sienna Swann and Bree Lancaster in action.”

Knots: “Not supposed to be until later, but guess they wanted to come out now. Why not? Sienna has no respect for anything else and Bree’s the same!”

The camera follows Sienna, Bree and Scott on their way to the ring as the scene fades to black.

For the People (Sienna Swann & Bree Lancaster) vs. Goddard & Peyton Rice

Breakdown returns to a live shot inside the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan to see Sienna Swann and Bree Lancaster in the middle of the ring as “Style” plays in the background. Sienna, microphone in her hand, as Bree Lancaster has a microphone in hers. They stand in the ring in their wrestling gear; Sienna Swann has the interim World Championship around her waist.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Sienna Swann, the interim World Champion, and Bree Lancaster are in the ring, ready to compete.”

Knots: “Taking the time for themselves.”

Sienna: “After that brutality to start, Bree and I agreed that you should not wait for what you came to see. That’s right, your World Champion is here with your Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal winner, and we are here for the people.”

The crowd boos.

Sienna: “Now after last week where yet again, Xander Valentine attacked Regan Street, and Regan, we know you’ll make him pay, and after some of the slanders Chris and I faced, we figured we needed to do something special and that is why Bree and I are here.”

Bree: “Too bad that they couldn’t find the competition to stand against us. Don’t get me wrong. Peyton Rice may have a good future in front of her, but given her training, it’s only a matter of time before the self-serving nature and gradual failing will be too much.”

Sienna: “And I offered her, we offered her, a future. In the Beauty Factory and yet, she couldn’t take it. It’s a shame. It really is. And she may say she’s more than a pretty face, but pretty is who she is and she would have been right at home.”

The crowd boos.

Bree: “But instead, she runs around with an old man who preaches against righteousness. And at the same time, I think she’s falling for Alistaire Allocco. Poor decisions all around. At least we can make sure the world is watching as they get some moments of fame. Consider it a gift, Peyton, John…For the people!”

Sienna: “You get to lose to the REAL World Champion…let’s not kid ourselves about Syren…and that will be dealt with soon enough.”

Sienna brings the microphone down before 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.

Suddenly the opening beats to “All The Days" by Mammoth play. The crowd roars as a spotlight shines on the entrance way and we see Peyton Rice walk out in her wrestling gear and jacket. She glanecs back as Goddard walks out, his leather trenchcoat in hand, and wearing his Stetson hat, but no bandanna.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, already in the ring, accompanied by Scott Burnside, they are representing the Beauty Factory, they are Bree Lancaster and the interim SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann! Their opponents, they are the Hellbilly John Goddard, and Not Just a Pretty Face, Peyton Rice!”

Goddard and Peyton walk down the rampway to the ring as Sienna and Bree stand in their corner. Goddard reaches the ring and throws his trenchcoat on the steps before helping Peyton up onto the apron. Peyton looks in and takes off her coat and enters the ring. Goddard takes off his hat and climbs onto the apron. Peyton looks at Sienna and Bree.

Sharper: “Goddard and Peyton coming right from that scene backstage. Goddard not even putting on the coat.”

Knots: “At least he brought it. You know, if there’s a draft or something.”

Sharper: “Look out. Peyton Rice coming forward. Heard enough of what Sienna and Bree were saying. Claiming they offered her a spot in the Beauty Factory and she turned it down.”

Knots: “Well with everything regarding Chris Cannon, her links with Kelcey Wallace. She’s got to be all over the place in her head.”

Sharper: “And Peyton wants Sienna!”

Peyton points to Sienna. She asks for her to start. Sienna looks around and shrugs and walks forward. Bree smirks as Peyton looks at her. The crowd cheers as Goddard nods at her. The bell sounds. Sienna smirks and turns to Peyton who promptly grabs her arm and hits a headlock takedown. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Peyton Rice just showed our alleged real World Champion that she’s ready!”

Knots: “Well maybe you shouldn’t have run your mouth, Sienna!”

Sienna moves back and to the corner and tags in Bree. Bree enters and Peyton looks at her. Bree just shakes her head and then moves in and goes for a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Peyton turns and ducks under and grabs the arm and wrenches it. She pulls up and Bree flips forward and rolls through and then Peyton kicks her in the ribs and then pushes her into the ropes. She fires Bree off. Bree bounces off and Peyton jumps up and hit a frankensteiner. Bree rolls through and gets up and looks at her. Peyton gets up and Bree lunges and goes for a clothesline.

Sharper: “Peyton looking good, until Bree got a shot in and the back suplex. Now Sienna is back in.”

Peyton gets up and Sienna moves in and forearms her in the jaw and then hits a kick to the thigh and then a shoot kick to the ribs. Peyton falls into the corner.

Peyton gets her shoulder up and rolls toward the middle of the ring. Bree looks at Goddard as Goddard watches both.

Sharper: “Bree and Peyton- Sorry, Bree and Sienna, they’re just taking over. Peyton doesn’t have the experience yet to face two of the best.”

Knots: “Goddard over there does and he’s just waiting to get in there. He wants in.”

Sharper: “They know that too. Peyton has every reason to be angry at Sienna, and she’s shown how that can motivate her, but it’s too much right now.”

Bree grabs Peyton and pulls her up and forearms her in the jaw. Peyton falls back into the neutral corner. Bree walks over and kicks her in the ribs. She whips Peyton across the ring.

Sienna and Bree remain standing tall in the middle of the ring as Peyton stirs on the floor and looks up. Goddard rolls to the apron as the scene fades out.

Backstage, we see Katie Steward nodding to Gigi as Gigi shakes her head as she heads over to Sasha’s office. She knocks on the door. The door opens. Sasha smiles.

Sasha: “Gigi. Nice to see you.”

Gigi: “Good to see you. How are you with everything going on with the Xander situation?”

Sasha: “Unfortunately, it happens. We’re figuring things out. Making sure he won’t be a factor tonight if we can help it. Security is on their toes.”

Gigi: “Well I know that I may-“

Katie then butts into the scene.

Katie: “Sorry to interrupt, but Sasha, I’m so, so sorry about what happened to your father and how Xander didn’t get what was coming to him. Always a shame when the so-called legends of their sport disrespect their promoters, but you should know that I’m firmly by your side!”

Sasha: “Uh, thank you Katie. And for that vocal support.”

Katie: “I mean I’ve been a staple of SCW for so long and no problems with how things are going and if you need someone to make sure your vision comes through, I’m your Goddess!”

Gigi turns, behind Sasha, facepalming.

Sasha: “Thanks. And Gigi-“

Gigi looks up.

Sasha: “We’ll talk later. I have to get back to work.”

Sasha returns inside. She closes the door. Gigi turns to Katie.

Katie: “Oscar-worthy!”

Katie smiles and walks off as we cut away.

Breakdown returns as Peyton Rice walks backstage with Goddard. Peyton then walks over and sits down on one of the foot lockers and just puts her head in her hands.

Goddard: “I realize this isn’t the start to your SCW career you had envisioned.”

Peyton: “Just so much more competitive and negatively so. They’ve ruined Kelcey’s wife and for what? And then all of this with Mr. D…is it worth it?”

Goddard: “You need to be strong, child. At the top of food chain, as in any business, people sacrifice humanity for immortality.”

Peyton: “Just…I don’t know….”

We then see Alistaire Allocco and Adam Allocco in the background. Alistaire seemingly does something, smacking Adam down before telling him to stay, pointing him over to the corner. Adam walks over, sad, as Alistaire straightens himself up and walks over.

Alistaire: “Peyton, John….I come simply to support. I watched the match.”

Goddard eases up a bit.

Peyton: “It’s fine John. Thanks.”

Alistaire: “A shame that so many people feel the need to give into evil.”

Alistaire coughs a bit, showing a bit of nerves.

Peyton: “Yeah, well…seems to be par for the course here. Just trying to remain positive through it.”

Adam: “CLOSE THE DEAL, SON!”

Alistaire closes his eyes and brings his fingers to the bridge of his nose.

Alistaire: “Ignore him. I’m not here for-“

Goddard steps forward.

Goddard: “With all due respect, as different as you are from your father. You should leave.”

Peyton: “Ali…”

Alistaire: “No problem. I hope that no more harm comes to you and those you affiliate with for the evening.”

Alistaire turns and heads off. Peyton watches him leave. Goddard does too. The camera follows Alistaire as Alistaire walks over to his father.

Alistaire: “You couldn’t remain silent.”

Adam: “I had to make sure you don’t screw it up. Someone like that, you want to make sure you close the deal before they see you for who you are.”

Alistaire: “And what’s that?”

Adam: “Don’t worry about that.”

Adam places his arm around Alistaire.

Adam: “You know what you need to do now. She’s heartbroken over it, pining for it, and you need to do the one chivalrous act you know you can do…”

Alistaire: “Which is?”

Adam: “We’re getting you that title shot you deserve. Win that and she’ll be all over you.”

Alistaire: “Dad…”

Adam: “Come on.”

They head off as we cut away.

Scarlet Grey vs. Alexis Quinne

Match will be added when submitted. Alexis Quinne wins the match.

Manvel is seen backstage and Scott Burnside runs over to him. We see Manvel talking quite intensely with Cupcake.

Manvel: “I don’t care. We’re going to premiere it, daddy. It’s gotta be better than anything that pumped up traitor could ever dream up. I mean it was written by your Cupcake!”

Cupcake: “That’s not the issue, just-“

Scott: “What’s up?”

Cupcake: “He wants to premiere the movie we shot last week. It’s not even done!”

Manvel: “That’s how confident I am in it!”

Scott looks a bit nervous.

Scott: “Well, I’m sure it will be MANtabulous, but have…have you watched it?”

Manvel: “I don’t need to. I know what we paid for and I know it’s MANTASTIC. So I’m taken it and we’re premiering it tonight”!

Manvel turns and heads off as Cupcake turns to Scott. Scott lets out a deep breath.

Cupcake: “You better stop him. It’s your name!”

Scott: “Wait…what?”

Cupcake: “I said you’re the producer.”

Scott: “Oh God…”

Scott runs after Manvel as we cut away.

Breakdown returns to see Dean Black in a small room, looking into his bag as the crowd roars a bit. We then hear a knock at the door as Dean places something back in the bag.

Dean: “Come in!”

The door opens and Sasha steps in. Dean turns to her.

Dean: “I was wondering when you’d come around.”

Sasha: “It didn’t go as planned.”

Dean: “And now he’s outside of the building. We know if he’s on the property and I’m sure you’re getting all of the rage from Regan, Selena and God knows who else.”

Sasha: “It was bound to happen. Had Regan waited, here we are. I let it be a free-for-all.”

Dean: “So what are you thinking now?”

Sasha nods.

Sasha: “How’s your jaw?”

Dean: “It’ll be fine.”

Sasha: “Good. You mentioned you wanted your hands on him. Well…he seems to be willing to take shots.”

Dean chuckles a bit.

Sasha: “Just pointing something out. I now have to find Regan.”

Dean: “Good luck there.”

Dean nods as Sasha turns and heads off. Dean turns back to his bag as we cut away.

Sam Raine vs. Aaron Blackbourne

The arena’s lights cut and as the room falls into complete and utter darkness a buzz starts to spread through the crowd. It feels like a lifetime that the lights are off before they start to flash in a sequence that resembles lightening. Another moment passes and as the sound of rain fills the air while white and blue confetti starts falling on both sides of the entrance way. The sound of the rain is broken up momentarily as the voice of Samantha Raine is head saying…

“Raining on your parade.”

As the crowd start to react, the sounds of Firefly's “Unbreakable” starts to play through the arena. The crowd just further erupts in to cheers as the small silhouette of Samantha makes her way on to the stage, but she isn’t alone. There is another silhouette behind her clapping his heads.

"Where are the people that accuse me? The ones who beat me down and bruise me...
They hide just out of sight, Can't face me in the light, They'll return but I'll be stronger..."

The song’s intro gives way to the chorus and as the song takes a harder edge the flashes of lighting become more violent. On the big screen the fans are treated to the iconic view of Sam as she stands in an empty as it starts to rain on her. She just looks up at the sky allowing the rain drops to pelt her face while lifting her arms up towards the sky. In the meantime, Sam along with the man that can now be identified as Woody Hoyt start to make their way down to the ring.

Philips: “Making her way to the ring from Toronto, Ontario, Canada; weighting in at one hundred and two pounds, and being accompanied to the ring by Woody Hoyt, she is… SAMANTHA RAINE!”

Before they start actually making their way down to the ring, Sam raises both of her hands up to her lips and kisses them, bending over towards the fans she acts like she is blowing kisses to everyone in attendance.

"Forget the fear it's just a crutch, That tries to hold you back...
And turn your dreams in to dust, All you need to do is just, trust...
Trust!"

As they reach the ring, Woody jumps up on to the apron while Sam walks up the ring stairs. He holds the ropes open so that she can climb in to the ring. Woody hops off the apron as Sam goes to the nearest turnbuckle. Which she climbs to the top and once again blows kisses to everyone in the arena.

Sharper: “Interesting match up between these two tonight, it could go either way.”

Knots: “It could, both have a lot to show tonight. Taking Hold of the Flame is only three weeks away, everyone will want that momentum.”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. 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. 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: “No Demon tonight, Aaron not letting that side of him out it appears.”

Knots: “Probably a good thing when it comes to Sam Raine, last thing she’d want. But I can think of someone who deserves it.”

The bell sounds with both Raine and Aaron pacing the ring trying to weigh the other up, the lock up in the middle and Aaron uses his strength to get the advantage. He pushes her to the ropes and sends her across the ring with an Irish whip. Raine returns to duck under the clothesline attempt, but she grabs hold of Aaron and swings around his back and locks her legs around his neck before then swinging her body around and sending him across the ring with a head scissors. A few fans cheer while he rolls through back to his feet but Raine was already up and is running towards him and connects with a shotgun dropkick sending Aaron in the corner.

Sharper: “Blackbourne off his feet, Raine looks game tonight.”

Knots: “She does. Expect her to have done her homework on him tonight.”

Aaron winces and that continues with Raine on the attack, she starts to stomp away at his chest in the corner while holding the top rope. Again, and again she goes while Woody cheers her on. Aaron manages to escape the corner from the bottom rope to the outside, creating a degree of separation between him and Samantha Raine. Sam throws her arm up a little while walking away from the corner. Aaron holding his chest staggers to the barricade, a few fans pat him on the back in support. In the ring Samantha Raine has already hit the ropes and dives through with a crossbody, Aaron catching her and holding the much lighter opponent before slamming her down into the one-inch matting.

Sharper: “Great strength there from Aaron Blackbourne, but my god that had to hurt when she landed.”

Knots: “Sam Raine didn’t like that.”

Sam cries out in pain while rolling away from Aaron Blackbourne, Woody looks concerned now with Sam stumbling to her feet. The official is letting this go on outside for now, back on her feet Sam turns around only to get caught by a discus clothesline from Aaron taking her back off her feet. The fans cheer with Blackbourne now on the offensive. He pulls Raines up and rolls her into the ring an begins to climb the corner, he scales to the top rope and waits once again for Sam to get to her feet.  Woody is trying to warn her as he leaps off but he catches her with a crossbody of his own and covers.

1…

2… KICK OUT BY RAINES!

Outside Woody catches his breath with a sigh of relief, Aaron is on his knees looking at the official but doesn’t wait for him to confirm. He gets back to his feet next and reaches down only for Sam to grab him and roll him into in a school girl roll up.

1…

2.. NO KICK OUT BY BLACKBOURNE!!

The fans “ooh” as Raines rolls away still in a little pain, but Blackbourne gets to his knees once again. Sam is on her feet and she runs across the ring driving a knee into his face, he falls back holding his nose for a moment and checking to see if it is broken, it isn’t. But that doesn’t stop Raines grabbing his legs and flipping over with a pin variation.

1… KICK OUT BY BLACKBOURNE!

But instead of the kickout we see Aaron grab hold of Raines and push up so both their bodies form a bridge, both wrestlers core strength on display. Aaron manages to turn it around so now he has hold of Raines waist and her head is between his legs. The SCW fans roar once again now as he lifts Sam up into the air and onto his shoulders, the veteran however trying to hammer away at the face of Aaron Blackbourne. This doesn’t stop him through from hitting a sit out powerbomb in the middle of the ring followed by a pin attempt.

1…

2…

3? NO!!! KICKOUT BY RAINE!!!

Sharper: “Oh wow thought he had that then! Great back n forth with pin attempts, and Raines kicking out on what looked like the end there with the powerbomb!”

Knots: “She’s a resilient little minx, I’ll give her that.”

Aaron holds his head while Woody is slamming the canvas trying to get Sam back into the game, she continues to hold her back however in pain. She rolls away and gets to her knees. Aaron rolls back himself and onto his feet with one fluid motion, he stumbles back towards the ropes and sees Raine in a precarious position. The SCW fans roar more as he runs across the ring and goes for some unchained creativity, but Sam leaps up into the air and manages to block it, she then pulls his leg out and twists into a dragon screw leg whip before rolling him over to his stomach and applying a half crab in the middle of the ring!!!

Sharper: “Half crab locked in and Aaron has nowhere to go!!”

Aaron his reaching out for the ropes while Sam wrenches back on his knee with the half crab, Woody is yelling at Aaron to tap but he isn’t, instead he is moving ever closer to the ropes which Sam realizes and gets off him. She then rolls him over and starts to pull him back towards the middle of the ring, but Aaron plants his free foot onto the canvas and Sam inadvertently lifts him up onto one leg. Aaron then pulls his leg back and immediately connects with unchained creativity there in the middle of the ring to the roar of the crowd as Sam Raine collapses to the canvas...

Knots: “HE HIT IT, OUT OF NOWHERE!”

Aaron staggers for a moment but drops down on top of Sam Raine and hooks both her legs.

1…

2…

3!!!

The bell sounds as Woody on the outside holds his head in disappointment. Sam is laid out still and Aaron rolls of her before getting to his feet. He limps gingerly a little while the fans roar, his arm raised in victory over a game opponent tonight on Breakdown. “The Nexus” by Amaranthe hits over the P.A System as Jason Phillips steps up at ringside with mic in hand.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match as a result of a pin fall… AARON BLACKBOURNE!!!”

The SCW fans roar once more with Aaron now checking on Sam Raine along with Woody Hoyt, she shows signs of movement which is a good sign as SCW heads elsewhere.

Backstage we see Glory Braddock standing backstage with Spirit Dansby.

Spirit: “Spirit Dansby here with Glory Braddock and Glory, last week, you fought alongside Konrad Raab, but the situation with Damian Angel and Giovanni Aries just too much and we saw that earlier tonight. But is this not Konrad’s fight?”

Glory: “It is. But there are two problems with that. The first is that I’ve been brought into this. They may be a part of it by getting involved and attacking me last week. And the second, as much as I hate to say this, I’m not sure if Konrad can even control himself to fight them. Whatever attachment he’s had with that mask, it’s driving him and frankly, it’s controlling him and by proxy, Damian and Giovanni are controlling him. So if I have to fight for him to do some good around here, I’m going to do just that. At some point, I’ll get my hands on either Damian Angel or Giovanni Aries and they can finally have to deal with a fair fight!”

Glory looks at the camera as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

“Behind The Stars” by Mercy Drive begins to play throughout the arena. The crowd boos as Manvel walks out from the back, wearing a suit, his white shirt opaque from the amount of oil he’s already put on himself. He takes out a bottle and dumps it over his head and shakes it, as if fluttering his hair out and then turns and throws the bottle to the side. Cupcake looks a bit uneasy as she walks out, holding a tote. Scott Burnside follows with a tote of his own.

Sharper: “We’re going to see the world launch I guess of Manvel’s movie.”

Knots: “Do we know what it’s called? A pile of oily crap?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Cupcake and Scott Burnside seem uncertain. Manvel forcing this. It was just filmed last week and Kayl said he needed more batteries. But I don’t know.”

Knots: “Apparently it’s ready…or not. Or who cares? But I feel bad for these fans in Detroit. Some of them are getting MANSauce.”

Cupcake hands out sample bottles of MANSauce as Scott Burnside hands others bottles of BURNSIDE MANSauce. They head to the ring as Manvel slides into the ring and rolls over to his knees. He gets up and smiles, nodding and centering the sunglasses on his face. He looks around as the crowd boos. Cupcake and Scott walk up the steps and into the ring. Scott and Cupcake look at one another briefly before Manvel is handed a microphone. He takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring.

Manvel: “That’s right, daddies and daddettes. Manvel here is to show you that Mantastic Enterprises is the only legitimate entertainment brand in this thing. Screw KABLAM Studios and their link with SCW. The Dependables are a bunch a has-beens, daddy, and I’m here to show you how to keep everything smooth, enjoyable and entertaining.”

Manvel looks around as the crowd boos.

Manvel: “Now, daddy, beyond the lame attempt at moviedom that they showed two weeks ago with a brunette that’s as dumb as a brick and about as good an actor, last week, south of the border, we brought in the mantastical filmmakers from Kayl TV to make Cupcake’s vision come alive. And that’s right, despite KABLAM Boy being broken, a MAN has stepped up to put Hollywood on notice. Ya know those bags them award winners and fine felines all take home from awards’ season. After this…they gonna be full of the MANSauce and the newest products from MANTASTIC Enterprises, that’s right…a special slip that slips off no matter how lubed you may be. Ready for any moment. Right Scott?”

Scott just nods, looking around a bit concerned.

Manvel: “Now that I’ve stalled enough for you to get your popcorn, and suitably ready for action…Don’t be afraid to try the samples, ladies…allow me to give you…MANTASIA Amigos!”

Manvel points to the screen.

Knots: “Oh lord…here we go.”

The scene fades to black.

We see a panning shot of what appears to be a Mexican village at dark. We see people walking home, a stray dog, and a few men laughing while in the front yard.

“Burnside Pictures presents”

“Alongside Cupcake Creations”

“MANTASTIA Amigos!”

“Starring MANVEL!”

The panning shot fades to a shot, clearly inside the arena where we see Cupcake dressed in a tiny, leather bikini and completely covered in oil.

Cupcake: “Oh no. Where est a hero por favor?”

Cupcake speaks in really broken Spanish before the camera angle changes, showing a door opening, a bright light behind it as a silhouette comes forward. The light fades to show Manvel wearing a banana hammock, and glistening with oil all over him. Just then, the movie abruptly ends, cutting to black.

We cut to the ring where Manvel is looking around. He turns to Cupcake and then to Scott. He points to the screen.

Knots: “Looks like it ended prematurely!”

Sharper: “That’s a very short film!”

Manvel looks around before turning to the stage.

Manvel: “I get that you may be jealous about what the Mantastic One is working with, daddy, but no reason to cut it off like that. Just play the full movie and you can make sure all of these people here are satisfied.”

Knots: “No, I think we did them a favour. Whether that was the end or not!”

Sharper: “And we should apologize for anyone offended by uh….this.”

Knots: “This is a good word for it!”

Manvel looks around before

KABLAAAAAAAAM!

The crowd cheers as “Wanna B Ur Lovr” plays throughout the arena and Cookie instead steps out from the back, a microphone in her hand as Derek Adonis walks out with her. Cookie looks down at the ring as the crowd cheers.

Manvel: “No…no…it was you! You couldn’t just let me show that I’m better than you at moviemaking! Don’t listen to these two frauds!”

Cookie: “No, Manvel…you just proved yet again you’re half the man that Derek is. We had nothing to do with that, and it looks like just like every time you go against Man Mountain, you come up short!”

The crowd roars.

Cookie: “Just after everything, the attacks, the lies, maybe you should remember who you are. Not this person you are in the ring. Cupcake…is that who you want to be with?! Having bad, offensive accents, when you could’ve gotten your non-union equivalent and one of hot mamacitas Derek and I were with all night long to play your lead!”

Adonis grabs the microphone.

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

Cookie: “Exactly! Lots of that!”

Cookie jumps up and down as the crowd cheers. Adonis smiles as Manvel seethes.

Cookie: “But instead, yet again, you lose. You can take me out, but you can’t take out the hope, the joy that KABLAM Studios, Labs and the KABLAMA Sutra give people!”

Manvel: “But it was all mine! My ideas!”

Cookie shakes her head.

Cookie: “No, Manvel. You never had the HEART. You just cared about the MAN, the MYTH, the OIL! And this man here, he had the vision, the heart, and the desire to help. Just as I’ll be focusing on my next film masterpiece, and just as I hope I’ll be hosting Taking Hold of the Flame. We’re going to keep going until the job gets done!”

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

Cookie: “People are satisfied!”

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

Cookie: “And you’re just going to keep coming up short, and having an unhappy ending. And Manvel…I’m sorry. But there’s NO help for that!”

Adonis: “NO KABLAM!”

Manvel grits his teeth and turns around as “Wanna B Ur Lovr” plays as Cookie looks around. Adonis then takes the microphone.

Adonis: “Cookie for Taking Hold of the Flame Host. Taking Hold of the KABLAM!”

Manvel throws the microphone down as Scott and Cupcake look at one another as Adonis points to Cookie. Cookie smiles.

Sharper: “Well looks like Adonis and Cookie, yet again, get the last laugh!”

Knots: “Manvel attacked Cookie, but they’ve move on and are as successful as ever! Just if Cookie becomes host…”

Sharper: “And for an event Manvel I think feels is his, it’s a battle royal daddy.”

Cookie and Adonis remain on the stage as Manvel turns and starts to sternly talk to Cupcake and Scott about what may have happened before the scene cuts away.

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Ravyn Taylor & Christy Matthews vs. Ace Marshall & Kimberly Williams follows.

Sharper: “We may have had some fun at the expense of Manvel and his associates, but next, it’s a match that’s going to be quite serious. Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews, they’ll team up tonight, against Ace Marshall and Kimberly Williams. Some longtime friendships and partnerships in the middle here. And it’s next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Manvel walking backstage and shaking his head as Scott Burnside and Cupcake walk with him.

Cupcake: “We tried to warn you-“

Manvel: “Enough…”

Manvel sighs and looks around.

Manvel: “We’ve moving on. We’re better than that tub of goo and that airhead, daddy!”

Cupcake: “Cookie is-“

Manvel: “I know and we’re moving on! We’re better than them! We’re BETTER than them. The Mantastic One is going to prove it!”

Manvel walks off and Scott turns to Cupcake before following him. Cupcake follows and we cut away.

Ravyn Taylor & Christy Matthews vs. Ace Marshall & Kimberly Williams

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 and has a twenty minute time limit. First, representing Infamous, accompanied by Christopher Richter, from Overland Park, Kansas, she is Christy Matthews!”

Sharper: “Did I just hear Infamous?”

Knots: “Yeah.”

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.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews and Ravyn Taylor last teamed last April when Christy attacked Ravyn all to plant the seed that they were against one another.”

Knots: “And we’re full circle. And against Ace, who used to be messing around with Ravyn! What about Kim? She used to mess around with Ace outside of SCW!”

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 positive reactions as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side.

ADRENALIZE ME

He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd. Cassidy smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Master of the Universe Freddy Mercury was referring to in that song, Ace Marshall!”

The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Ravyn smirks as Christy Matthews looks at him. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over it, landing inside the ring on her feet before turning and going to go after Christy. The official stops her as the crowd roars. Ace then stops her as Ravyn smirks, remaining in a seated position.

Sharper: “Cassidy wants to go for Christy or Ravyn!”

Knots: “She’s remembering how close she was to the World Title!”

Sharper: “Cost by both at Making Things Right! Then Alexander Crowe last week, the week before, at Tabula Rasa.”

As Ace pulls Cassidy back, the opening chords of “Look What You Made Me Do” by Taylor Swift begins to play. Kimberly Williams steps out onto the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. 

Phillips: “His partner, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is Kimberly Williams!”

A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight.  She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it.  She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope.  But as she does, Christy runs past the official and dropkicks Kim in the face. She rolls over and to the floor. Christy gets up as Cassidy turns and runs at Christy and nails her in the back and then again and again and again. Christy falls to the ropes as Christopher Richter heads around. The official tries to get Cassidy off of Christy and Ace turns only for Ravyn to run over and kick him right between the legs. The crowd ohs and Ace falls over to the mat. Ravyn then runs over and grabs Cassidy and throws her up and over the top rope. She rolls through as the official drops down and turns to Christopher and stops him from attacking Cassidy.

Sharper: “Cassidy thrown over as she got some good shots in on Christy!”

Knots: “Ref is trying to get Christopher away from her. This is nuts already!”

Cassidy rolls over as Ravyn turns and Christy starts to get up. Ace holds himself and Ravyn and Christy walk over to him and both grab one of his legs and hit a wishbone as the crowd ohs.

Knots: “And going low again!”

Sharper: “Ravyn and Christy now making a wish!”

Knots: “And the referee is tossing Cassidy and Christopher from ringside!”

The referee points to Cassidy and tells her to leave. He turns and tells Christopher to leave. The crowd roars as Cassidy looks around and Christy and Ravyn stomp away on Ace in the ring. The crowd boos as Cassidy then rolls into the ring. She runs over and grabs Ravyn and throws her back with a mat slam. Christy then kicks her in the ribs and spins through and throws her out. As she does, Kim rolls into the ring and Christy turns as Kim nails her with a forearm shot and then another. Cassidy rolls through and gets up as officials come down to tell her to leave. Christopher Richter looks around and is escorted by two others. They start to make their exit as the official watch them for a moment before rolling back into the ring. Kim kicks Christy in the ribs over and over before starting to choke her in the corner.

Sharper: “Cassidy forced out of here and Kim is choking Christy now!”

Knots: “Is a match going to happen here or are we just going to struggle for control!”

The official tries to stop Kim but she then stops and smiles. She turns to the official before hitting a mule kick to the face of Christy. She smirks before stepping forward and seeing Ravyn getting up. Ravyn rolls out of the ring. Kim jogs to the ropes. She feigns a pout before backing up. Christy starts to pull herself up as Ace rolls to the apron, holding himself. The referee checks Kim and Kim gives a thumbs up as she turns and Christy starts to get up and Ravyn then turns and rolls into the ring. Kim lunges for her, but Ravyn rolls out of the ring. Christy runs over as the bell sounds and nails Kim with a forearm shot. The crowd ohs. Christy chops her. The crowd woos. She then whips Kim across the ring. Kim bounces off and Christy hits a back elbow. Kim rolls over. Christy turns and grabs her and places her on the middle rope, starting to choke her.

Christy steps off. She turns and runs over and nails Ace as he gets up with a forearm. Ace kneels on the apron as Christy turns back around and Kim pushes off and nails her with a clothesline. Christy hits the mat. Christy gets up and Kim kicks her in the ribs. She runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a scissor kick. Kim then turns and runs over and grabs at Ravyn. Ravyn smacks her hand away. Kim goes for the hair, but Ravyn ducks and then grabs at Kim before Kim grabs her wrist and Ravyn grabs her wrist. They share a smirk before Ravyn holds onto her and Christy gets up and nails Kim in the back of the head. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Christy from behind. Kim and Ravyn trading clutches and grabs. Clearly a chess match going on there.”

Knots: “And Ravyn holding on so Christy to get the shot in!”

Christy tags in Ravyn and Ravyn enters. Christy spins Kim around and snapmares her over and Ravyn then stands above Kim’s head and then jumps up and hits a double foot stomp face rake. Kim rolls over. Ravyn then grabs Kim and pulls her up and nails her with a forearm shot. She then runs her into the neutral corner, face first into the top turnbuckle. Kim turns and Ravyn nails her with a European uppercut. Kim falls to a knee. Ravyn then grabs her and pulls her out before hitting a bulldog. She goes for the pin.

Kim kicks out. Ravyn then grabs her and slowly pulls her up. She then needs her in the ribs before running her into the other neutral corner. Ravyn kicks her in the ribs and then again. She wrenches the arm and then jerks on it. Kim winces. Ravyn jerks on it again. Kim winces again and Ravyn pulls her out and goes for a hip throw, but Kim spins through and lands on her feet. Ravyn turns to grab her in a Russian leg sweep, but Kim ducks down and rolls back, snapping Ravyn off the mat. Ravyn rolls through and gets up and Kim nails her with the Morrigan’s Wrath. The crowd roars as Ravyn hits the mat. She turns and rolls over to her stomach, holding her jaw. Kim then looks at her.

Kim: “Here! Let me introduce you to my friend, your friend, EVERYONE’S FRIEND! ACE!”

Kim grabs Ravyn by the hair and drags her toward Ace as Kim looks around. Ace extends his hand and Christy then enters.

Sharper: “She’s dragging Ravyn Taylor by her hair!”

Knots: “And Christy is going to stop that, maybe! Look out!”

Christy runs over and Kim ducks and Christy goes to nail Ace, but Ace ducks and hits a pump enziguri. Christy falls back and Kim lets go of Ravyn, dropping to her hands and knees and Christy falls over her. Kim tags in Ace and Ace enters as Ravyn starts to get up and Ace nails her with a knee to the ribs. Christy gets up and Ace kick her in the ribs and hits a dropkick. Christy falls through the ropes to the floor. Ace rolls over and Ravyn gets up and Ace clotheslines her down. Ravyn rolls over and moves to the neutral corner and Ace turns and heads after her as Kim cheers. Ravyn reaches out to go for the eyes of Ace. Ace catches her. He smirks and Ravyn then goes for a knee, but Ace turns into it and then grabs Ravyn and hits a hip toss. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “And Ravyn caught by Ace! Ace knows some of her tricks. They were partners in crime a while back!”

Knots: “Not anymore and Ace not looking to have a wager or anything!”

Ravyn starts to get up and Ace turns and kicks her in the ribs. He double underhooks her and hits a backbreaker. He goes for the pin.

Christy breaks it up. Ace rolls over. He turns and moves to the ropes and Kim shrugs and enters the ring. Ravyn stirs as Christy stomps Ace in the face and then the back as the crowd boos and Kim instead dives onto Ravyn and mounts her, nailing her with repeated blows. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Kim just coming in and going after Ravyn!”

Knots: “That’s who she wants! Got a clear shot. Ace is getting his head caved in by Christy in the mean time!”

Kim nails Ravyn a couple of times before Christy turns back and grabs Kim. She pulls her up and Christy nails her with a hard forearm and then another. Kim nails her with one and turns to the ropes. Ace starts to get up as Ravyn rolls over and Kim forearms Christy. Christy forearms her and Ace runs over and nails Christy. Christy grabs Kim and both go up and over the top rope to the floor. Ace then turns around and Ravyn hits the Evolutionary Synthesis. The crowd ohs and boos as Ace rolls over. He holds his jaw. Ravyn rolls to the apron. She winces a bit before starting to get up, only to be pulled out of the ring and falling to the floor. Abigail Lindsay then stands over her, having come from the crowd.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay! From the crowd! Having just pulled Ravyn out from the ring!”

Knots: “And she’s just looking down at her. Come on! Take a few shots!”

The referee calls for the bell. The crowd boos.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has disqualified Kim Williams and Ace Marshall due to outside interference. Therefore, your winner, Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews!”

The crowd boos. Abigail just looks at Ravyn.

Abigail: “You were looking for me?”

Ravyn just looks at up Abigail. Abigail shrugs and then grabs Ravyn and pulls her up and then turns and spins her into the announce table. Ravyn rolls onto it and looks up as Abigail gets right in her face.

Abigail: “Do your worst! Because Ravyn, wherever you will be, I will. And if that means I need to ruin all of your plans! I will!”

Ravyn just looks at Abigail, smirking.

Ravyn: “Try to keep up then.”

Ravyn spits in Abigail’s face and Abigail turns. She then spins around and throws a clubbing blow at the table, but Ravyn rolls toward Knots and Sharper as Abigail slams it against the table. She then turns and moves to Ravyn as Ravyn uses Jason Phillips as a shield before shoving him into Abigail. Abigail turns and just throws him down as Ravyn moves around the ring. Ace slowly starts to get up and falls to the ropes. Abigail lunges for Ravyn, but Ace reaches out and grabs Abigail by the hair, trying to get to either. Christy pulls Ravyn away as Kim watches them. Abigail then turns and nails Ace with a hard right. Ace falls back. The crowd ohs as Abigail turns around and looks at Ravyn and Christy as they back away.

Sharper: “Abigail getting right in Ravyn’s face. Telling her she’ll be where she is!”

Knots: “And Ravyn just get out of there. With an unintentional assist from Ace who wanted Ravyn, but missed, grabbing Abigail!”

Sharper: “And he got a hard right for his troubles!”

Ace rolls over as Abigail starts to head to the rampway as Ravyn and Christy back away. Kimberly Williams then turns to Abigail.

Kim: “Just remember, you’re not the only one who has a problem with them.”

Abigail just turns to Kim.

Abigail: “Then you get what’s left.”

Abigail goes to move past, but Kim pulls her back. The two look at one another.

Knots: “Wait a minute!”

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan not around and we’ve seen a more driven, more aggressive Abigail Lindsay and looks like with so many wanting to get their hands on Infamous or Dark Fantasy.”

Knots: “Does it matter to have a line?”

The scene cuts away.

"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. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost, holding the still damaged SCW US Championship. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way. 

Sharper: “We saw Selena Frost get right in Giovanni Aries’ face. Along with Damian Angel. And she wasn’t going to back down.”

Knots: “A lot on her mind. The situation with Chris Cannon. The situation with Mr. D. The situation with the Wonderland.”

Sharper: “And all three in some ways, mixing and intertwined, if you will.”

Selena Frost walks to the ring and walks up the steel steps and into the ring. She then looks aroun as the spotlights shine down on Selena. Selena looks at the fans with a smile before heading over to the corner. She’s handed a microphone and turns back to the middle of the ring. She then looks around as her music fades out.

Selena: “You know, I could come out here and smile and just wait for the next opponent. I could wait for someone to be lined up by Sasha and trust me, I’m not skirting on any of that. She’s the one who makes the decisions. She’s the one who decides who will challenge for this title that’s over my shoulder.”

Selena pauses as the crowd cheers faintly.

Selena: “But after yet again, another night where that son of a bitch Giovanni Aries-“

The crowd roars.

Selena: “Take solace in the fact that the man who is gave us all the opportunity to compete here and is joyous that he was taken out, I’m done. I’m done trying to just happily wait. See, what I want, is I want another match with Giovanni Aries!”

The crowd cheers.

Selena: “Last two times we’ve faced, just you and I, Giovanni, it ended inconclusive. Round one, you jumped off that scaffolding and tried to end my career. Round two, you scaled this turnbuckle and tried to drive me through that table. I was willing to move on, stand with my friends, and just chalk it all up to you being nothing more than a sad, stupid, delusional man!”

The crowd looks on as some boo, while some cheer. Selena looks right at the main camera.

Selena: “But since you found some people who are willing to support you, to enable you, I don’t even know, it’s clear that you’ve grown more willing to throw caution to the wind and you’re not just some delusional person. You’re a very dangerous person!”

Selena pauses and paces a bit.

Selena: “While Xander Valentine may or may not have been influenced by the Wonderland, while Damian Angel probably sees nothing in whatever you’re spewing and is just looking at another evil plan to destroy what he cannot dominate…YOU, yes, you Giovanni, have remained fixated on this dream of the Wonderland which is nothing more than a nightmare. And YOU, Giovanni, need to be given a reality check! And BELIEVE ME, I am MORE than happy to give you one. You can take your beatings from Owen, from Regan, but it needs something that will make you sure that the Wonderland is nothing more than complete crap!”

The crowd roars, a mixed reaction coming from the crowd.

“FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!”

The crowd roars as “Mad Hatter” by Melanie Martinez starts to play and Giovanni Aries walks out from the back, taking a drag from his cigarette. The crowd roars some more. Giovanni has a microphone in his hand as he looks down at Selena, smiling a bit, and almost ignoring the vitriol coming from her mouth.

Knots: “Watch for Damian! He has to be around!”

Giovanni: “Selena, Selena, Selena. Typical anger and divisive hatred as spewed by the Lizard Kingdom. The exact same that defined what we saw earlier with Xander Valentine. And yet, you just ramble on here.”

Giovanni pauses.

Giovanni: “If there was any hope for you in the Wonderland, I would offer it, but you have shown yet again, that you are beyond saving. The exact reason I have looked to take you out. Remove one of the Lizard Kingdom’s top generals so people can be shown what we can offer. To open people’s eyes, just as James Evans, Konrad Raab and Xander Valentine have.”

Selena: “You’ve opened no eyes but my own and for me, it’s not something good for you.”

Giovanni: “That’s what you say, but I have faith, faith that people understand what I am doing and with Damian…people are understanding there is another path!”

Selena: “No one is understanding anything except that you are nothing more than a hate-filled individual that has no respect for anyone. And the fact that you hide behind this Wonderland when you talk about how Mr. D deserved it…That’s pathetic.”

Giovanni: “So then where is Sasha to give you what you yearn for. Maybe, Sasha realizes that after what I’ve done to your precious prize, one of the items the Kingdom uses to control, that she realizes I cannot be controlled and there is nothing that can be done. Or are you going to use a favour you may be owed.”

Selena: “I’m going to make this simple then. I want you in a match. But one where there will be no disqualifications. One where one of us can finally do what the other has been wanting to do. Either me and giving you a definitive defeat, or you can try and take me out. If this title is on the line, then so be it. What do you say?”

Giovanni smirks and looks down at the ring.

Giovanni: “I will always take an opportunity to destroy one of the Lizard Kingdom’s generals.”

Selena: “Then next week, I say since you like jumping off high things and take me out, you can cut the middle man. You’ve jumped off a scaffold to try and take me out. I say next week, one of us flies off a scaffold. You and I, scaffold match, next week on Breakdown. And when I toss you off, it still not even close to what you deserve for the hate you’ve spewed!”

Giovanni smirks.

Giovanni: “The problem Selena…I know I can fly.”

Selena: “I’ll then test that, BELIEVE IT!”

Selena drops the microphone as “The Truth About Our Time” starts to play. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Did I hear that right? A scaffold match?”

Knots: “Selena Frost wants certainty. Wants something to end it, but what the hell are you thinking?”

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries happy to accept, but let’s be clear. This is dependent on Sasha! She needs to agree.”

Knots: “I don’t even know what to think!”

Selena looks at the entrance way as Giovanni smirks as Selena holds the damaged US Championship over her head proudly. Giovanni smirks and even laughs a bit as he steps back and returns to the back before we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Jessica Winters standing with Sasha backstage outside of her office. The crowd roars seeing them.

Jessica: “I’m Jessica Winters and I’m with our owner and Sasha, we just heard from Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries-“

Sasha: “With all due respect, I’ll deal with that situation shortly, but I actually have another issue to announce something about.”

Jessica: “Does it revolve around Syren?”

Sasha: “You’d be correct.”

Jessica: “You have the floor.”

Sasha: “Well, last week, we started preliminary medical clearance testing and in an effort to remove problems, we arranged for a doctor in Los Angeles to complete the rest and we can reveal that as of this moment, Syren is considered fully cleared and able to compete!”

The crowd boos.

Sasha: “Now, Syren has a couple of options. Option 1, she can fight this. She can get a second opinion. She’s entitled. She technically already has that. Therefore, if she wants to fight it, we will mutually determine a third doctor to be the tiebreaker. Or, option 2, I feel she already know that this ruse has gone on long enough. So she can show up next week on this program and sign the contract. That contract agreeing to unify the World Championships at Taking Hold of the Flame. Syren will face Sienna Swann. A match both have wanted in the last year at one point or another. Well, here’s their shot.”

Jessica: “And if she keeps stalling or tries to determine option three?”

Sasha: “Option three is simple. We strip her of the title. We name Sienna Swann the undisputed World Champion and Syren can sit out the rest of her contract. She is the World Champion. She can act like it. And a World Champion who refuses to defend titles under the pretense of politics, well, frankly, then maybe SCW doesn’t need them around because they don’t need to be around SCW. The ball is in Syren’s court.”

The crowd roars as we cut away.

Donovan Kayl vs. Jordan Majors

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.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making her way to the ring first, from Chicago, Illinois, she is…JORDAN MAJORS!!!”

Sharper: “Jordan Majors has been making waves recently. Not just in the ring, but over social media. There seems to be some sort of connection between her and various members of the Beauty Factory.”

Knots: “Which is interesting given the fact that she is facing Donovan Kayl. Kayl has a history with the Street family as well as Kelcey Wallace.”

Phillips: “Introducing her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada…he is the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling…DONOVAN KAYL!!!”

"Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

A modern day warrior

Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. As he stands atop the ramp, he throws his arm out with each big note of the beginning musical portion. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Though his mind is not for rent

Don't put him down as arrogant
He reserves the quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside.

The world is, the world is

Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd, until the next lines hit...

What you say about his company

Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby. He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head as the crowd showers the ring with streamers, cascading down around him as he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl, the man known as the Cornerstone of our sport, taking on Jordan Majors here tonight. Should be an interesting clash of styles as well as personalities.”

The ref calls for the bell and Kayl steps to the center of the ring. Majors swaggers over to Kayl before smirking at him and delivering a hard slap across the face. Kayl stumbles back a bit, holding his jaw.

Crowd: “OOOHHH!”

Knots: “Well, that is one way to start things off.”

Sharper: “Jordan Majors is definitely confident. I’ll give her that.”

Kayl turns and faces Majors. Majors goes for another slap, but Kayl blocks it. Kayl pulls Majors into a side headlock, but flipping her over and down onto the mat. Kayl quickly transitions from side headlock to an ankle lock then into a crossface before climbing to his feet. Majors glares up at Kayl who smirks at her and motions for her to get up.

Sharper: “Kayl showing his confidence as well.”

Majors slowly gets to her feet as Kayl looks for a tie-up. Majors ties up with Kayl, who transitions behind her, going for a German suplex but Majors lands a quick back elbow. Kayl staggers and Majors charges toward him, only for Kayl to take her down with a side slam. Majors sits up, grabbing at her back and shaking her head. The ref goes to check on her.

Knots: “Majors complaining about her back.”

Sharper: “Could be some sort of…OH NO!”

Kayl is shown being hit in the back of the head by one of the bodyguards. Kayl drops to one knee before the other bodyguard pulls him out of the ring. Kayl gets to his feet before being taken out with a big boot. Both bodyguards roll Kayl into the ring and Majors is shown nodding her head and climbing to her feet. Majors runs over and goes for a quick cover.

Sharper: “Majors taking advantage of the damage her damned bodyguards caused.”

Kayl kicks out. Majors looks slightly shocked.

Knots: “Kayl managed to kick out. This match turned into a numbers game and the odds are stacked against the Cornerstone.”

Sharper: “Two back to back to shots to the head and Kayl seems to be dazed.”

Kayl is shown using the ropes to climb to his feet as he clutches the sides of his head. Majors goes to attack, but the ref holds her back. Majors begins to argue with the ref as one of her bodyguards gets on the apron and runs across, hitting another big boot before dropping back to the floor. Kayl falls to the mat.

Knots: “Kayl needs someone out here with him to watch his back. This is getting ridiculous.”

Kayl slowly pushes himself up, only for Majors to bypass the ref and connect with a running punt. Kayl flips over onto his back as Majors goes for the cover.

3…NO! Kayl shoots the shoulder up!

Sharper: “Kayl showing some fight.”

Majors rolls over and gets to feet, beginning to stalk Kayl who is shown using the ropes to himself up once again. Kayl turns and Majors goes for a running cutter, but Kayl shoves her forward. Majors hits the mat hard. Majors rolls over onto her stomach and pushes herself up as Kayl charges forward, going for a superkick. Majors dunks under. Kayl stumbles forward.

Knots: “Kayl just missed with that kick.”

Kayl turns around just as Majors leaps up, grabbing Kayl and connecting with the Cash Out! Majors goes for the cover.

The crowd boos as the bell rings. Majors is joined by her bodyguards who lift her hands in victory as “7 Rings” blares through the sound system. Kayl can be shown holding his head once again as Majors continues to celebrate.

Sharper: “Kayl tried, but he was unable to recover after repeated outside interference. I guess when you’re a trust fund brat, you can buy any sort of help that you want.”

Knots: “That is what happens when you’re connected with the Beauty Factory. You think you own the world. I, for one, can’t wait to see it all come crashing down.”

Majors starts to exit as we see Dean Black walking down the ring, carrying the bag he was going through earlier. The crowd roars seeing him. Majors turns and looks at him as the bodyguards move around and get in front of her. Dean Black just looks at Jordan Majors before turning and walking past her. The guards start to escort her to the back.

Sharper: “Dean Black on his way down.”

Knots: “He’s got his bag? What is going on here?”

Donovan Kayl is helped up in the ring as Dean Black walks over to Jason Phillips and asks for the microphone. A cameraman on the floor walks over to him, getting close to Black. Black takes the microphone.

Dean: “You know, it’s been a long night already. And it started with Xander Valentine coming in and being forced out. In the process…he thought he’d try me. It’s the second time in three weeks that he’s tested me.”

Dean pauses as he puts the bag down on the steel steps behind him.

Dean: “And you know what. I’ve been helping backstage for a long time. I’ve been the right hand man for Mr. D for years. I’ve been the one with the level-head, but you know what, I’m having a hard ass time reminding myself what my job is with regard to Xander Valentine.”

The crowd boos Xander’s name.

Dean: “And well…I’ve been thinking about a few things…debating about whether I’m capable of doing what I’m going to be asked of. Keeping people like Regan Street or Selena Frost or others back from taking out Xander Valentine and well…”

Dean turns and looks at his bag. He then reaches inside. He takes a deep breath before pulling out a spiked collar, many fans starting to cheer.

Dean: “And frankly, I’m sick of standing on the side. You attacked someone who is someone I’ve grown to respect. I’ve been in this company from the very start, Xander. And I know I may not be what I once was, but I think I have a fight left in me!”

Dean takes the spiked collar and puts it around his fist, the spikes sticking outward. He then holds the fist in front of his face.

Dean: “So I don’t know if you’re going to take another shot tonight, but next week, if you can make it into the building, I’m going to stand in this ring and Xander…since you’re so willing to fight, you’re so willing to disrespect….you’re so willing to execute…I’ll be first in line!”

Dean brings the microphone down as the crowd roars. He then turns and hands the microphone back to Jason Phillips. Dean then looks at his spiked-wrapped fist.

Sharper: “Dean Black just laid down the challenge to the Executioner!”

Knots: “And from what we heard earlier, did Sasha see this coming? I don’t know, but I’ll all for Dean and Xander to go at it. Two former World Champions!”

Dean starts to head around the ring as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Dean Black walks backstage as we see Regan Street walk up to him.

Dean: “You going to take a swing at me for getting the first shot.”

Regan: “No…I just don’t know if I want you to fail so I get more of him or I want you to destroy him. Either way, try to kick his ass and if he survives, I’ll be right there. This time, just make sure he gets into the building!”

Dean: “That won’t be a problem. Just you let him in. I’ll make sure he stays here then.”

The crowd roars. As Dean walks off as Regan looks at Dean. The scene cuts away.

“Just A Dream” by Nelly plays throughout the arena, a gold spotlight with blue flashers begin to circle the entranceway. The two beautiful Twins, London and Paris Truelove walk out holding hands. The crowd boos seeing them as they look out at the crowd. Laura Steinbeck walks out with them and then past them, leading the twins to the ring.

Sharper: “We already saw Sienna Swann and Bree Lancaster have their moment. Trueloves now coming out here and Laura with them.”

Knots: “Claim they’re going to prove they should be champions.”

Sharper: “Well they may have one notable advantage – we don’t know the status of James Evans.”

Knots: “And Laura tried to find out last week and no dice.”

London and Paris walk down to the ring, looking as confident as ever. Laura walks to the ring and goes to the steel steps. London and Paris pull themselves onto the apron and Laura walks over as both hold the ropes open for her. Laura steps in. London holds the ropes for Paris as she steps through the ropes to the ring. She holds the ropes for London as she follows. Paris and London then walk over to the middle of the ring as they look around. Laura then walks over and demands a microphone. Jason Phillips hands her one and she walks back to the middle of the ring. The crowd boos as their music fades out and Laura looks around the arena. She listens to the boos as she then shakes her head. London and Paris speak to one another a bit, causing London to laugh a bit as Laura begins to speak.

Laura: “Not everyone can respect what the Beauty Factory is doing and I get it. Here in Michigan, you don’t have much to look forward too. You have no clean water. Crime is your way of life, but that doesn’t mean you can’t respect what we are doing and that is making EVERYTHING better from the world to fashion to professional wrestling for the people!”

The crowd boos some more as Laura looks around. She shakes her head.

Laura: “You should be cheering us. You’ll soon have World Tag Team Champions that you can be proud of. You won’t have the unnecessarily violent. You won’t have the psychologically unstable. You’re just have the beautiful, the talented, the perfect tag team, the Truelove Twins holding those titles.”

The crowd boos as London and Paris smile.

Laura: “And I suggest they should just get the titles tonight!”

Sharper: “Naturally! Of course you do!”

Laura looks around. She then steps back, allowing London and Paris to take the main focus.

Laura: “Just look at them. They have the bodies of champions. They have the skills of champions. And they should have been champions one year ago. The stalling is over. And I only have to prove it with this…”

Laura reaches into her blazer and reveals two letters.

Laura: “See, a couple of months ago, Katya had some ideas for opponents. Well, despite the fact they were a stain on professional wrestling and a pure insult, when I found out we were coming to Detroit, I had intended to give you all a showcase of the greatest of tag team competition and prove that the Trueloves would be rightful champions. And unfortunately, no one is willing to face them. It’s not out of disrespect…on the contrary. It’s the realization that no one is as good as they are. For example.”

Laura unfolds one letter.

Laura: “This letter is from Drew Bryant. You may know him. He runs EMERGE. We asked if he would be willing to send the Modern Marvels here for a special showcase and well, he said this.”

She clears her voice.

Laura: “Ms. Steinbeck, we appreciate your desire to help us give our tag team champions additional spotlight on this week’s Breakdown, but we cannot risk the complete dismantling they will suffer at the hands of the greatest tag team, one I wish was in EMERGE, the Truelove Twins. Should they become available, they would be the perfect, pun intended, augment to the franchise player that is Jennifer Helms in our future. We wish you luck in London and Paris finally holding the titles that should have been theirs from the moment they began competing in SCW.”

Laura turns and hands the letter to London. She holds it up for Paris and they start to go through it. The crowd boos.

Laura: “That’s as clear as it gets. And I appreciate him knowing the weaknesses of his competitors. And maybe, depending on how things go, we may talk about other things, Mr. Bryant. But I have another letter here as we reached out to Global Championship Wrestling.”

Laura unfolds that letter and begins to read.

Laura: “Dear Ms. Steinbeck. Thank you for your letter. We are honoured that the Beauty Factory realizes we exist. While we recognize your talent as simply the best in professional wrestling, unless we could host the event, for the obvious boost in publicity of seeing the undisputed Tag Team Champions of the World show their greatness. Hopefully Supreme Championship Wrestling will realize what they have. Sincerely, Dr. Henry Van Stanton and General Manager Donovan Cunningham.”

Laura shrugs.

Laura: “Now, that’s also a shot at Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams who are great champions there, another team that deserves better here in SCW. But if you want to take up the clear shade from GCW, Andrew, Dustin, I’ll take care of it. But this seems academic!”

Laura hands the letter to Paris. Paris turns it around to show the GCW logo.

Knots: “Good to see she has MS Paint!”

Laura: “Despite the fact that there is immense respect, and desire for the Beauty Factory to ply their trade elsewhere, its also clear that everyone recognizes them as the best. So here we are. You have an chance, Sasha, to do what should have been a year ago. Give London and Paris the respect they not only deserve, but have EARNED. You don’t have Tag Team Champions. You have one champion. An alleged dragon with no teeth and you have stars here. Vacate the titles and hand them to London and Paris. The evidence is overwhelming that that is your ONLY option!”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “If they’re that good, prove it in the ring!”

Knots: “But that would just make sense! Maybe Sasha can throw a massage and a back rub in too!”

Laura: “So Sasha. Come on…”

Just then, “All the Things She Said” by T.A.T.U. plays. The crowd cheers as Laura turns, looking at the entrance way, unimpressed. Angelica Jones walks out from the back with her SCW World Tag Team Championship over her shoulder. She has a microphone in her hand. She looks down at the entrance way.

Laura: “You better be coming to lay that title in this ring for London and Paris!”

The music fades out.

Angelica: “You don’t know who I am then!”

The crowd roars.

Angelica: “I’ve just listened to you go on and on about how the Trueloves are the greatest. The Trueloves are the best and spew more crap as you talk about for the people and act like anything you’d said is accurate. The fact is that if they were as good as you claim they are, they’d have won these titles out of hardwork, instead of taking shortcut after shortcut and that’s the reason they’re waiting until right now.”

The crowd roars.

Angelica: “And I don’t know about you, but you can claim there are no tag team champions, but I’m still holding this title and proudly! I’ve potentially damaged my relationship with my sister to hold this title and seek redemption with James. And I’m not going to give it up now just because two arrogant models want a prop in their next photoshoot!”

More cheers from the crowd. Laura just laughs.

Angelica: “So if they are as advertised, let’s make this clear. They’ve got the shot. If Sasha will book it, at Taking Hold of the Flame, I will come to that ring and I will defend the World Tag Team Championship against London and Paris!”

Laura: “With who as your partner? Or are you hoping James will be all better. Trust me, someone like that needs to be far away from this sport!”

Angelica looks down at the ring, taking a deep breath.

Angelica: “I hope it’s going to be with James by my side, but one thing is for sure. One way or another, I know I won’t be alone because unlike the two of them, I at least have respect in this business!”

Laura: “Then you and whoever is with you wants to be humiliated, so be it. But it would’ve been easier to just hand it over now!”

Angelica: “We’ll see Laura. London, Paris…see you at Taking Hold of the Flame!”

The crowd cheers as Angelica steps back and turns to the back as her music plays. London and Paris just talk amongst themselves. Laura just watches her leave.

Sharper: “Looks like if it gets approved, the World Tag Team Championship will be on the line.”

Knots: “But that all made it sound like James Evans may not be around!”

Sharper: “I don’t know. Angelica has to know something. Sasha I’m sure does. But they’ve been hush-hush and how Sasha responds may clear everything up!”

Angelica disappears to the back as the crowd looks on and we cut away.

Backstage, we see Owen Cruze getting ready for his match for Chris Cannon. The crowd cheers seeing him. A knock is heard at the door. Owen gets up and walks over to the door. He opens it and Kennedy Street stands on the other side, getting more cheers from the crowd.

Owen: “Kennedy.”

Kennedy: “I wanted to wish you luck tonight.”

Owen: “With everything going on…”

Kennedy: “It’s why I didn’t go with Trinity and Regan and Selena earlier. I want to take out Xander. I want to take out Chris. I want to take out Sienna.”

Owen: “You’re trying to take on the world and…even I know that’s a bad plan.”

Kennedy: “But it’s one I’m not turning away from. I’m not done with Chris and Owen…you need to look out. That match we had to start the year…nothing like the one I had with him at Tabula Rasa.”

Owen: “I know. And I’m ready for a fight.”

Kennedy: “Be ready…but at the same time…sorry.”

Owen: “For what?”

Kennedy: “I’m not going to wait to get my hands on Chris. And I’m not in the mood for being calm for much longer.”

Kennedy nods and walks off as Owen watches her leave. The crowd buzzes as we cut away.  

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we open up to see Bree Lancaster with Jessica Winters.

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Bree, you were vocal the last few moments about getting some additional airtime here-“

Bree grabs the microphone.

Bree: “Exactly. I want this on the record. I know nothing has been decided yet, but I heard when Selena Frost came out to that ring and challenge Giovanni Aries, title or no title. After all of her ducking of yours truly, she’s now happy to stand up and give someone, who quite frankly, should have nothing to do with a professional wrestling championship! We all know that she’ll always be beneath me, but I want this to be clear. If that match is signed, I will see it exactly for what it is…Sasha doesn’t have it in her to run this company with integrity and give me my rematch when she’ll give someone else who doesn’t deserve it a rematch and Selena…you just proved yet again that if you want something, you’ll get it and Selena, you’re just proving yet again, you’re a coward! Your move!”

Bree then lets go and pushes it back to Jessica and walks off as we cut back to the ring.

Dustin Adams vs. Marie Jones

SCW Television Championship

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first, the challenger...”

‘Seizure of Power’ hits the speakers as olive lights flicker around the arena, smoke and sparks fills the entrance ramp as Dustin Adams steps into the smoke and allows it to cover him.

Phillips: “From Detroit, Michigan.... “The Inmate” Dustin Adams!

Adams lets out a primal roar and extends his arms up looking focused. He slowly walks down towards the ring, ignoring the crowd's negative reaction. He hops up onto the apron and quickly steps into the ring looking ready for a fight. He loosens up in the ring before looking towards the ramp.

Sharper: “Dustin Adams with an opportunity here to hold SCW gold. He came in alongside Andrew Raynes and the two of them have done their best to destroy anyone put in their path.”

Knots: “About time for Dustin, too. Some have said he'd sort of been in Andrew's shadow, maybe an afterthought. With Andrew and Bree no longer teaming up, this guy doesn't have to worry about watching out for her petty back and he can focus on himself.”

Sharper: “Look at the size of this guy, I'm concerned for Marie Jones.”

“You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake"

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts... she is the current SCW Television Champion....”

"Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold"

Phillips: ..."The Phoenix" Marie Jones!”

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd. The official takes the belt from her and holds it up over his head before handing it off to the timekeeper.

Knots: “Okay, seeing her standing across the ring from that guy, I'm with you, I'm concerned for her safety.”

Sharper: “She went toe to toe with Raynes but Adams is much bigger, over a foot taller than Marie. And he looks ready to maul.”

The bell rings. Adams scowls harder and Marie looks up at him and takes a deep breath, preparing for the challenge in front of her. Adams steps forward and lunges to grab Marie, but she ducks under and spins around him. She then bounces off the ropes as he turns around and she drills him with a spinning heel kick. She connects with his chest, and Adams staggers backwards. Marie hops up the turnbuckles and to the top, turns and jumps, taking the big man down with a headscissors. The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “Marie is on to something here, the best thing for her to do is get Adams off his feet and keep him there.”

Knots: “Way too soon for him to stay down, look!”

Marie gets up and starts to run the ropes, but Adams sits up and grabs her foot, tripping her. The crowd oohs again. Adams gets to his feet and pulls Marie up. He then hoists her overhead in a gorilla press. Marie kicks her legs and manages to wiggle out, falling to her feet awkwardly behind him. Adams turns and Marie fires off an uppercut. Adams looks at her in surprise that she connected, holding his jaw. Marie smirks, then fires off another one. Adams blocks this one though, and grabs her arm then sends her into the corner hard. Marie hits the turnbuckle pads chest first. Adams follows, then turns her around to face him before backing up a step then kicking her gut with a big boot. Marie doubles over, holding her stomach with one hand and the top rope with the other to keep on her feet. Adams grabs her head and pulls her to the middle of the ring. The crowd starts to boo as he lifts her up into the gorilla press again, then slams her down hard. Marie rolls to her side holding her back.

Sharper: “Marie Jones in bad shape already, Adams throwing her around like nothing.”

Knots: “He seems to be enjoying himself, too, look at that smile.”

The smile is more of a menacing smirk as Adams looks down at Marie. He steps over her and reaches down to pull her up. Marie rolls out of his grip before he can though, and gets to the ropes. She pulls herself up using the ropes. Adams shakes his head at her and waits while she gets to her feet. Once she does, she turns to face Adams and he smirks again before running at her, his arm out for a clothesline. Marie ducks, and Adams catches himself before hitting the ropes and possibly flipping himself over. Instead he grabs the rope to halt his momentum. Marie steps backwards to the corner, hops on the second turnbuckle and jumps, drilling Adams with a missile dropkick! The crowd cheers as he falls to his back. Marie gets up and bends over to grab Adams' arm, trying to pull him away from the ropes, but she can't move him.

Sharper: “Marie needing Adams away from the ropes so she can cover without a chance for a rope break, but he's just too damn big.”

Knots: “Gotta give her some credit for trying.”

Marie lets go and brushes her hair out of her face, frustrated. Adams sits up, then starts to get up. Marie sees an opening and bounces off the ropes, then drills him with the Kissed By Fire! The crowd cheers, and Adams goes down again, farther away from the ropes.

Sharper: “That knee! My God.”

Knots: “Is that gonna keep the Inmate down though?”

Marie hooks the leg closest to the ropes for a cover.

Adams kicks out, shoving Marie off. She rolls through and sits facing him, staring in anguish. Adams starts to get up, and Marie hurries to her feet. Adams grabs her and sends her across. On the rebound Adams lifts her up and plants her with a sidewalk slam. He then gets up and stomps her a few times, drawing boos. Adams pulls Marie up and sends her into the corner, where she hits the turnbuckles back first. He runs at her, looking to spear her into the corner, but Marie moves at the last second, and Adams drives his shoulder into the post instead! The crowd cheers.

Knots: “Marie Jones narrowly avoiding a Lethal Injection into the ring post there, and Adams may have hurt himself.”

Sharper: “If there was a time in this match where Marie could gain and keep the upper hand, it's right now.”

Adams turns, holding his shoulder, and Marie hits an enzuigiri into the shoulder. Adams goes down to a knee. Marie then drives a knee into his head. Adams wavers on his knee a bit, but stays up. Marie shakes her head, and backs up, looking around, wondering what else she can do to knock the big man down. Adam's starts to get to his feet, and Marie sensing she's about to lose her advantage, bounces off the ropes and runs at him, looking for... we don't know what because Adams stands up straight and gets his boot up into Marie's chest before she can try anything. The crowd oohs and boos as Marie goes down to her back. She rolls through though and gets back to her feet. They stare off across the ring and the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Marie maybe a second or two too slow in getting off whatever it was she intended to do, and Adams put a stop to it.”

Knots: “Don't let his size fool you, he's as quick as he is intimidating.”

Adams smirks before rushing at her with a clothesline. Marie ducks under his arm, and keeps going to the ropes. Adams spins around and Marie comes flying at him from off the middle rope, looking for a crossbody. Adams catches her in midair, almost by instinct... and spins her around, drilling her to the mat! The crowd oohs and boos.

Knots: “Death. Row. Slam!”

Sharper: “I think Adams made a dent in the canvas with Marie's body, my God.”

Knots: “This is all over but the count.”

Adams lays back across Marie for the cover.

The bell rings and the crowd boos. Adams sits up, laughing.

Phillips: “Here is your winner by pinfall, and NEW SCW Television Champion.... Dustin Adams!”

The official hands Adams the title belt as he gets to his feet. Adams looks down at Marie, who is starting to stir a little. The official bends down to check on her as Adams holds the belt up high.

Sharper: “Marie Jones did the very best she could, but in the end her efforts weren't enough for the powerful offense Adams put out.”

Knots: “And now Dustin Adams has his first taste of gold here in SCW. I have a feeling it's far from the last.”

Adams turns to the ramp and on the stage Andrew Raynes appears, clapping. The crowd boos as we cut away.

“The Old Me” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen before we cut to see a shot of Owen Cruze vs. Chris Cannon.

Sharper: “Next, our main event. Owen Cruze will face Chris Cannon.”

Knots: “Remember what Kennedy said!”

Sharper: “This could be a wild one. Next!”

The scene fades to black.

We see a shot of Selena Frost vs. Giovanni Aries for the SCW United States Championship in a scaffold match.

Knots: “It’s happening! Bree has to be losing it!”

Sharper: “Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries will meet, next week, on Breakdown, Scaffold match and the US Championship will be on the line. This is one of the most dangerous matches and with Taking Hold of the Flame on the horizon, this could be huge!”

Knots: “Could change everything if someone gets hurt!”

The Breakdown logo comes up again and we see Dean Black vs. Xander Valentine come up on the screen.

Sharper: “And after the challenge, it’s official. We’ll see what happens. Xander Valentine, we figured we’d see him again tonight, but instead, I don’t know where he is, but maybe he’s watching this-“

Knots: “And maybe with a smile on his face. Dean Black hasn’t been in the ring in years. He will be in a fight against Xander Valentine!”

The music cuts to and changes to “Be Legendary” by Pop Evil as the Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen. The crowd roars as we see Truelove Twins vs. Angelica Jones & ??? for the SCW World Tag Team Championship comes up on the screen.

The Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen and we cut to a live shot.

Owen Cruze vs. Chris Cannon

The opening beats to Southpaw Swagger's 'It's Showtime' kicks in over the speaker system, the fans jumping to their feet in acknowledgment of who is about to step out onto the stage. A huge roar greets Owen Cruze as he steps out onto the stage.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for TV Time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, from New Orleans, Louisiana, he is Owen Cruze!”

"It's Showtime!"

He brings his arms out to his side, nodding his head. His arms shaking he brings them in, crossing them across his chest

"It's Showtime!"

He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking to the ring. He runs up the ring steps and across the apron, turning to face the fans whilst he holds the rope, punching out with the other hand. He enters the ring and immediately climbs up to the top turnbuckle and applauds the fans, which gets another huge reaction from them. He somersaults backwards, landing on his feet and bounces off the ropes, ready to fight.

Sharper: “That smile that was on Owen’s face has gradually disappeared as of late and tonight, this is not a happy moment.”

Knots: “Has to go after Chris Cannon, a friend’s husband, former husband. We don’t know what Kelcey Wallace thinks. But Owen may well know.”

The big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken, the only image we see is that of a glistening perfect world logo. 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.

Sharper: “Come on…”

Knots: “Still using Kelcey’s voice…”

The opening guitar to “Prometheus” by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him. Sienna Swann walks out with him, now wearing a red dress, the SCW World Championship over her shoulder. The crowd boos more as Sienna embrace Chris around his waist.

Phillips: “His opponent, hailing from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, California, accompanied by the interim World Champion, Sienna Swann, he is Chris Cannon!”

The crowd boos the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step and Swann by his side. Owen watches him shaking his head. Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon then slides into the ring and Owen steps up and gets in his face. Sienna climbs up onto the apron and snaps at him.

Sharper: “Owen getting right in Chris’ face!”

Knots: “Taking issue to using Kelcey’s face and walking out with Sienna no doubt!”

Owen then turns to Sienna and Chris shoves him back. The bell sounds and Owen throws a hard right at Chris. The crowd roars. Chris falls back into the corner. Owen moves in and nails him with another hard right and then another and another. Sienna jumps down and snaps at Aaron Demitra, the official, to tell him to get off.
