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

 

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as we see a shot of Selena Frost standing on the stage, about to the run to the ring. We then see shots of Bree Lancaster hitting someone with the Rectifier and Simon Lyman posing with his arms out.

 

Maybe I'm just paranoid
Or maybe I'm just livin' a lie
Can't stop this screamin' voice
Or maybe I'm just sick inside

 

Shots of Kandis hitting Gratuitous on an opponent, before showing Rated X posing as SCW World Tag Team Champions. Katie Steward is next shown posing, before we see Cassie Wolfe hitting a dive off the top rope and Adam Brock standing on the stage, smiling. Shots of Chance Owens, Simon Lyman and the European Fiery Nation follow, superimposed over the Breakdown logo

 

This is the face
I hate the other side of me
Out of this cage
He breaks to take the life from me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm not crazy

 

Syren is shown hitting Xander Valentine with the Total Makeover before showing Adam Allocco talking to the crowd. Glory Braddock is next shown hitting the London Plunge before we see The One Kirsten Scott proudly holding the SCW Television Championship. WASLEY is next shown as Kimberly Williams is seen smirking. The Breakdown logo flashes on the screen.

 

There's a psycho in my head
I'm closer to the edge
Makin' me feel like I'm livin' in misery, misery
Insane
These voices in my brain
Starting to feel like it's gonna be the death of me, death of me

Shots of Deanna Frost, Kandis, Xander Valentine, and Syren are shown before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots out from the base of the stage. The display continues for a few moments before spotlights circle the arena and the cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

 

Sharper: “We continue to emanate from across the pond as we come to you from Sydney, Australia!”

 

The cameras circle around the ring for a bit longer before cutting to ringside where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots sit at the announce position.

 

Sharper: “Welcome to ringside. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and we’re still buzzing after last week where Kandis returned and jumped the SCW World Champion, Selena Frost!”

 

Knots: “And Kandis will be in action tonight. Dark Fantasy too against the Phantom Troupe. And God knows what else-“

 

The opening of "Whore" by In This Moment fills the arena as red and pink lights swirl around. The Australian crowd roars.

{I'm the girl you've been thinking about, The one thing you can't live without
I'm the girl you've been waiting for
I'll have you down on your knees, I'll have you begging for more}

Kandis, wearing a leather jacket and jeans, appears on the stage, a sultry smirk on her face as the crowd cheers. She turns and shows off her notorious rear end, swaying it back and forth...

{I can be, I can be your eve... ry... thing}

The lights dim as the music seems to pause a moment, then Kandis turns around, arms spread and feet wide apart as vocalist Maria Brink shouts:

{I CAN BE YOUR WHORE!}

Kandis starts down the ramp as the rest of the chorus continues, the sway in her hips ever present as she smirks at all the cheers, even blowing sarcastic kisses to the crowd.

{I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner, I am your whore
But let me tell you something, baby
You love me for everything you hate me for}

Kandis goes up the ring steps and enters the ring through the second and top rope slowly, making sure to show off her ass. The heavy music fades out as Kandis goes to the corner, being handed a microphone.

 

Sharper: “And Kandis closed us out last week and joins us to start off Breakdown tonight.”

 

Knots: “How do you think Selena Frost thinks about that?!”

 

Kandis turns and walks to the middle of the ring. She looks at the crowd and smirks.

 

Kandis: “Hey Selena…miss me?”

 

The crowd cheers as Kandis looks around.

 

Kandis: “What about you SCW?”

 

The crowd cheers again.

 

Kandis: “Well I had my forced sixty days off and well, the good news is that I feel great. Nagging injuries taken care of, I more than made up for the money lost…”

 

Kandis smirks.

 

Kandis: “And trust me, that’s going to annoy Selena. But I’m good at more than one thing beyond beating your ass…”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Kandis: “And I am here to come back for what was mine. You know Selena…I’ve had sixty days to think about what you said in this ring. When you told me to get out of your ring, you arrogant little bitch.”

 

Kandis chuckles to herself.

 

Kandis: “And hearing you week after week talk about wiping away everything that existed while you cried at home because finally millions and millions of True Believers finally saw through your bullshit!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Kandis: “And don’t get me started about the contracts, the collusion, the BS with CHBK…oh, that’s all going to be something else I’ll deal with, but I figured I’d waste little time in reminding your snow white ass that I’m back and I even gave you a bit of a receipt. Hope the cut wasn’t too deep.”

 

Kandis leans on the ropes.

 

Kandis: “Oh and I’ll get more shots at it too. Because I want you to be the first to know...I’m in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal, Selena. And trust me…everything I can do to make sure I get to beat your ass to get back my title at Rise to Greatness, I am going to do it. Retribution was the fluke, Selena. And you are going to know it when I’m through with you!”

 

A long church bell rings, once- twice- a third time as the crowd explodes. The lights go out as Xander’s voice echoes out over the sound system, increasing the intensity of the crowd’s roar.

 

“Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

 

The few opening keystrokes of “Soul on Fire” by Soul on Fire chimed. A lull before the storm as the crowd seems to calm for only a moment before Delila Paz’s blues dominate the audio. Kandis turns to the entrance way as the Australian crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “I think someone has a problem with your plan, Kandis.”

 

Knots: “The man who is facing Selena Frost for the World Title at Taking Hold of the Flame!”

 

The music plays as Xander Valentine walks out from the back, microphone in his hand. Artemis is a few strides behind him. Xander looks down at the ring before starting to walk down the rampway. Kandis backs up, walking around the ring as the crowd buzzes some more.

 

Sharper: “And he’s coming to the ring!”

 

Xander Valentine makes the trek to the ring before walking up the steel steps. He walks along the apron and steps into the ring. Kandis remains where she stands. Artemis remains on the floor. Xander Valentine then walks over to Kandis. He looks down at her as Kandis looks up at him, the two standing only a couple of feet apart.

 

Kandis: “Have a problem with something I said?”

 

The crowd roars as the music fades out.

 

Xander: “You’re going to have to change your plans.”

 

The crowd roars in response. Kandis smirks.

 

Xander: “Because after Taking Hold of the Flame, I’ll be the World Champion. And Selena, among others, will understand that some things are inevitable.”

 

Kandis: “Confidence! I like it. Too bad that I know a glass jaw when I see one!”

 

Xander: “You don’t want this fight Kandis. You need to understand that the winner of the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal will face me at Rise to Greatness. So perhaps Kandis, you need to think hard. You can get a shot at the title, and find out that the challenge I provide…one that you luckily avoided as I never got my rematch…you’re not ready for. Or you can go for your revenge against Selena and the good news is that throwing the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal is easy enough to do.”

 

Xander looks at Kandis as Kandis smirks.

 

Kandis: “I don’t throw any matches. And Xander…while Selena has her cowardly rules about the number one contender not being able to touch her…I can beat the hell out of whoever the hell I want.”

 

Xander: “Your mistake…”

 

Kandis: “No…no mistake.”

 

Kandis then goes for the Starmaker. The crowd ohs as Xander blocks it and throws her leg back. She spins around as the crowd roars and Xander knees Kandis in the ribs once and then again before lifting her up and throwing her down. Kandis rolls through and then gets up and runs at Xander. She tries to tackle him down. Xander blocks it, but Kandis keeps pushing and gets Xander down. She then lunges forward before nailing Xander with a couple of hard right hands as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Xander and Kandis! They going at it!”

 

Knots: “Kandis is trying to take Xander out before Taking Hold of the Flame!”

 

Sharper: “Went right for the jaw too. Went for the knockout blow! Just as Selena has taunted Xander.”

 

Kandis gets a few shots in before Xander shoves her off. Kandis rolls through. She gets up and takes off her leather jacket and Xander starts to get up. Kandis again goes for a kick, but Xander blocks it again and then grabs Kandis by the throat. Kandis kicks him in the knee once and then again before nailing him with a series of hard right hands. Xander ends up in the corner and Kandis gets a few hard shots in as the crowd looks on, cheering both. Kandis then gets one more shot in before Xander grabs Kandis and spins her into the corner and elbows her in the jaw once and then again and again .He then grabs her and hip throws her out of the corner. Kandis smirks as he gets up and Xander heads over as officials run down to the ring and slide in. Hiro Tanaka, Dillusion, Dean Black and Lucas Knight join the officials as they try to get them apart. Xander grabs Kandis, but Kandis smacks him with a hard right. This gets enough distance between them that they get them separated. Kandis looks across at Xander, jawing at him. Xander, meanwhile, stoically looks across. Artemis heads to the corner next Xander.

 

Sharper: “Officials and our agents trying to keep these two individuals apart.”

 

Knots: “We figured this for the tag division, but now it’s happening with the World Title! And Selena Frost has to love this!”

 

Sharper: “Well, maybe…but last week, Xander said anyone in his way, he’ll remove. Kandis appears to have an issue with him potentially winning the title!”

 

Knots: “She just wants Selena!”

 

Kandis keeps jawing at Xander as Xander bores a hole through her with his glare and the scene cuts away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Xander Valentine and Artemis backstage. Xander paces a bit.

 

Artemis: “Look, you need-“

 

Xander: “You need to go to the hotel.”

 

Artemis pauses.

 

Xander: “You saw how chaotic that was. I fear it won’t get any less. And I can’t be focusing on you the entire time.”

 

Artemis goes to say something, but then stops herself.

 

Artemis: “I understand.”

 

Xander: “I wish it didn’t have to be this way, but I am not risking anything.”

 

Artemis: “Of course. I’ll call a car.”

 

Xander: “Thank you.”

 

Xander stops and lets out a deep breath as the scene cuts away.

 

Sean Michael Prime vs. Aisling vs. Marie Jones

SCW Television Championship

 

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the SCW Television Championship!  Introducing first, the challengers, Sean Michael Prime, SMP!

 

With every step, SMP absorbs the energy of the arena, his long hair flowing in rhythm with the haunting melody. As the chorus kicks in, the crowd begins to stir, caught between the raw emotion of the song and the enigmatic presence of Sean as he slowly approaches the ring. Sean climbs into the ring, casting a stoic gaze across the audience. The metallic strains of "Turn the Page" amplify the intensity of the moment. Sean starts pacing around the ring awaiting for the start of the match

 

Phillips: And the next challenger, Aisling!

 

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot, followed by a few girls giggling. “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched begins to play and Aisling steps out onto the stage from the backstage area, wearing a playful hot pink skirt with a matching hot pink tank top. She immediately waves at the crowd and does blow a few kisses, as the fans do start to cheer. Aisling genuinely smiles before she starts to slowly come down the ramp, stopping along the way to deliver a few kisses on a few guys' cheeks who look to be around her age. Each of them appreciate her gesture and cheer her on even louder. Chris Dumont is shown on the floor by the stage, watching. Aisling nods before she goes and slides into the ring under the bottom rope. She lays on the mat for a few seconds before she stands up and raises her arms into the air. The crowd continues to cheer her as "C'est La Vie" begins to fade out. Aisling looks excited, ready, and raring to go. 

 

Phillips: And their opponent…

 

"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: Ladies and gentlemen, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the reigning and defending 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. A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena.  Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring. As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story.  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. 

 

Sharper: “This will be a unique challenge for Marie Jones. Triple threat rules. One fall to a finish.”

 

Knots: “And she will know it. She knows she could lose the TV Title without being part of it.”

 

SMP starts out aggressive, going after both Marie and Aisling with chops to one, a jab to the other then forearms to one and a palm strike to the other.  Marie and Aisling respond with an unlikely double team, backing SMP against the ropes with chops and martial arts kicks of their own.  They whip him into the ropes and take him down with a huge flapjack.  SMP scrambles back to his feet but is met with a double dropkick from Marie and Aisling staggering him against the ropes.  Marie and Aisling with stereo superkicks sends him over the top and to the outside.

 

Sharper: “Both hitting SMP with the superkick!”

 

Knots: “Lexy Chapel just exploded backstage.”

Knots: “SMP was going to be over the moon had that gone through!”

 

Aisling with rapid fire chops and forearms and blitz kicks staggering SMP.  She goes for a whip but he reverses and catches her with a roundhouse kick.  SMP pulls Aisling up and goes for a suplex but she floats over and lands a reverse ddt instead.  Aisling goes out to the ring apron and waits as SMP tries to get back to his feet.  Marie is back up by now.  Aisling with a springboard cross body taking out both SMP and Jones.  Marie rolls out to the outside leaving Aisling alone with SMP.

 

Sharper: “Marie out of the ring. Bad for the champion. Good for Aisling though.”

 

Knots: “And bad for SMP!”

 

Aisling hits the ropes and comes back at SMP with a head scissors takeover.  Aisling lands a dropkick sending him into the corner.  Aisling charges in with a stinger splash and then monkey flips SMP out of the corner.  Aisling with a low dropkick to SMP’s face.  Aisling finishes her offensive flurry with a standing moonsault.  She covers…

Sharper: “SMP with the double clothesline. Both Aisling and Marie down.”

 

Knots: “Got all of that and SMP thinking this could be the night! He could finally win!”

 

SMP pulls Marie back to her feet.  He whips her into the corner.  He charges in but she moves out of the way and he hits the corner hard.  SMP staggers out of the corner and Marie snaps off a back stabber.  Aisling then with a springboard splash onto that same lower back of SMP!  Aisling then turns and goes for a superkick to Marie but she catches the foot and snaps off a dragon screw.  Aisling rolls to the outside.  Marie then takes SMP and turns him over into the Angel’s Arch.

 

Sharper: “Angel’s Arch. SMP in trouble!”

 

Knots: “He may need Aisling to help! If he can’t get to the ropes!”

 

SMP won’t give up.  He fights to the ropes, trying to reach the bottom.  He is nearly there but Marie drags him back out to the center.  She sits back on the hold, putting even more pressure on his lower back.  Just when it seems like SMP is ready to tap Aisling connects with a springboard dropkick onto Marie, taking her out!  Aisling with the cover on the champion…

…3NO! Marie kicks out!

 

Aisling climbs up to the top turnbuckle and waits, measuring either Marie or SMP, whoever gets up first.  It turns out SMP is to his feet first.  She leaps off with a somersault but SMP catches her in mid-air and plants her with a sitout power bomb.  SMP cannot rest on his laurels for long.  He gets caught by a superkick from Jones.  Marie follows that up with a boot to the gut and then a Hot Shot, the pedigree!  Marie hits the ropes, springboard lionsault, the Divine Impact but on the lower back of SMP, the same one that was injured earlier!  She rolls him over for a cover…

Marie turns, diving over, stunned as Aisling lets go and rolls away. She smiles as she throws her arms up. Dumont, watching from the floor, applauds. Aisling is handed the TV Title as Marie Jones looks on from her knees.

 

Sharper: “The triple threat strikes! Aisling rolling up SMP as Marie was thrown off! And we have a new TV Champion!

 

Knots: “SMP’s bad luck spreading to Marie Jones now!”

 

Aisling celebrates with her new title.

 

The scene cuts backstage where Jaina Lancaster is standing with Selena Frost in the backstage area. The crowd boos upon seeing the SCW World Champion.

 

Jaina: “Thank you Adam. I’m with the SCW World Champion, Selena Frost and Selena, we saw the chaos to open tonight show. You were a figure in both figures responses. Kandis attacking you last week and then calling you out for Rise to Greatness, claiming she’ll win the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. Xander Valentine took issue with that as he plans to defeat you.”

 

Selena: “The best laid plans of mice and men…or should I say wannabe monsters and women. Let them go after each other. If they want to represent an emotional, less skill based way of fight, they can do it beneath what I represent. Regardless, if they’re on the collision course with me for this title, they need to beat me in the ring, one, two, three, called by the best referee in the sport, and with no interference, no short-cuts, nothing. They need to outwrestle me. Kandis can’t. That’s why she had to show her pettiness next week, waiting to the second for her ability to return in Japan. And what? She needs to stand against all odds to face me again.”

 

Jaina: “She did win Taking Hold of the Flame last year.”

 

Selena: “Let’s see her try again. And Xander…I’ve already said it. Nothing has changed about you since we last fought. Taking Hold of the Flame will be a matter of confirming what we know.”

 

Jaina: “Well-“

 

Selena: “And Jaina, how about you tell Bree, that a rivalry against someone deranged is not more important than the most prestigious prize in wrestling. Then again, I haven’t seen her name on the Taking Hold of the Flame sign-up yet. What do they say about glass houses…”

 

Jaina: “Selena-“

 

Selena: “My time is precious. See you when the world champion should appear.”

 

Selena goes to walk off and stops before turning to Jaina.

 

Selena: “I hope Jessica recovers soon. For everyone’s sake.”

 

Selena turns and walks off as Jaina shakes her head, disgusted by her as the scene fades to commercial.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

The strings of the “Come in KABLAMia” theme play in the background as we see a shot of a tropic destination. Sweet Sangria’s voice is then heard.

 

Sangria: “On June 2, you are invited a once and a lifetime experience…”

 

We see shots of the resorts on KABLAMia, showing men and women, men and men, women and women, all talking to one another. Many show signs of affection. We then cut to show shots of a nighttime pool, where one couple is engaged in some intimate time. Nothing, of course, is shown.

 

Sangria: “At Taking Hold of the Flame, thirty nine others are invited-“

 

Adonis: “Not Raab if he’s in it!”

 

Sangria: “Hopefully thirty-nine others are invited to engage in a night of satisfaction, of intimacy, of desire, and of emotion.”

 

We see a shot of Adonis looking satisfied in bed as we hear the sounds of various men and women moaning in ecstasy.”

 

Adonis: “And Xander isn’t invited too!”

 

Sangria: “He won’t be in the Flame.”

 

Adonis: “Good!...Good!”

 

Sangria: “Man Mountain invites you to relax after Taking Hold of the Flame with a trip to KABLAMia…you know you want to…”

 

“Come in KABLAMia” plays in the background as the commercial comes to an end.

 

Valkyr in action

 

Out go the lights with a flick of a switch, the moment it does the opening to Half God, Half Devil hits over the P.A System. All eyes divert to the stage as gold and white light illuminates the arena like ripples in an ocean, while doing so the screens show a world tree before revealing Valhalla and with a camera moving through it before reaching a place in the throne room where Valkyr stands in her gear. The lights beam down to the stage and standing there in the same gear with her winged crown in all her glory is Valkyr.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit! Hailing from “Valhalla”, being accompanied to the ring by Chris Cannon… She is VALKYR!!!”

 

The crowd roars with a mixture of cheers and boos for both as the arena’s lights come back on to show Cannon standing behind her. She looks back to him and he nods to her while she soaks up the reaction from the crowd. Valkyr then looks down towards the ring and starts to walk slowly and confidently as the lyrics begin in the song. Cannon follows shortly after her as the two now walk down the ramp. 

 

A few fans reach out but both ignore their pleas. Valkyr reaches the bottom of the ramp first and stops to survey the ring, which is when approaches the ring and grabs the middle rope before pulling herself up onto the apron and then entering while holding the crown. Cannon stops at the ramp and watches with a smile. Inside the ring Valkyr walks to the middle and extends her arms  posing to the crowd which gets a mixed reaction. She removes her entrance gear and the winged crown, handing them both to Cannon who gives them to a stagehand at ringside to take care of. Chris now climbs the apron and starts to whisper in the ear of Valkyr before the bell sounds and her music fades.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Parts Unknown, it is Monster #4!”

 

Across from Valkyr is a larger masked woman wearing black attire and a red mask.

 

Sharper: “Valkyr making the trek across the Pacific to be here.”

 

Knots: “Getting a lot of air miles here. Chris Cannon too. And Valkyr getting experience too.”

 

Sharper: “Well, she will be facing…Monster number 4, I thought it would be 3?

 

Knots: “What happened to the other two…or three?!”

 

The bell sounds as Monster #4 steps up and throws a punch before pointing at her and throwing a shadow right haymaker before kicking the air and then advancing forward, threating to choke Valkyr. Valkyr immediately then lunges and hits a running clothesline. The crowd ohs. Monster gets up, still threatening to choke Valkyr, but Valkyr hits a European uppercut and then a second one. She falls into the ropes and Valkyr pulls her up through the ropes. She then clubs her over and over and over again.

 

Sharper: “Valkyr just exploding with this offense.”

 

Knots: “Monster didn’t get one of those or one of these. She really wanted to choke her, but Valkyr just said I’m going to beat your ass!”

Valkyr stops and Monster drops down to the mat as Valkyr walks away, having completed the Valkyr’s Wrath. Monster slowly gets up and points at her.

 

Monster: “I’m gonna give you one of thos-“

 

Valkyr boots her in the stomach before whipping her into the ropes. Monster bounces off and Valkyr launches her in the air. She steps back only for Monster to land on her knee. She rolls over, holding her stomach in pain. Valkyr looks at Monster, shaking her head.

 

Sharper: “Just launching Monster number 4 into the air and right down onto her knee.”

 

Knots: “We’re going to need Monster Number 5 out here soon!”

 

Monster #4 rolls over, holding her stomach and turns around and Valkyr closes the distance, running at her and drilling her with a running boot. Monster #4 stirs and Valkyr looks at her. She then steps on the back of Monster. The crowd roars as she then pulls back on the arms and the crowd looks on as Monster yells in pain. Valkyr pulls back, locking in Valhallas Judgement. Monster yells some more in pain before nodding. The official calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Valkyr then drives Monster down with a curb stomp. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “And Valkyr with the submission and then…my God! Driving Monster Number 4 into the mat.”

 

Knots: “Gave her one of those!”

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Valkyr!”

 

Valkyr looks down at Monster #4 and then turns away from the official. She steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Chris Cannon applauds her as the crowd looks on. Valkyr walks around the ring and over to the rampway. She heads to the back, followed by Chris Cannon.

 

Destiny Page stands with Bree Lancaster backstage as she smirks, holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship over her shoulder.

 

Page: “I am backstage with the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Bree Lancaster and Bree, you’re still looking to find out your next challenger for the Adrenaline Championship, but I should mention Selena Frost’s comments and-“

 

Bree: “Let her whine. Let her complain. As for the Taking Hold of the Flame, who said I’m not in the battle royal. I’m instead waiting to see if I’ll be defending my Adrenaline Championship. Why? Because I am focus on this title. One day, I’ll be World Champion again and Selena Frost can claim this is a sign of my cowardice; I’m not the one on record complaining that she wasn’t in the main event. I kicked Simon Lyman’s ass that night. She survived Kirsten Scott. And ultimately, between her and I, I feel I’m the only one acting like a champion right now. Whether that means I meet her sooner or later…SCW, that’s on you. But I’m waiting. And one thing I won’t accept…is Simon Lyman again. So…the ball is in CHBK’s court.”

 

Page: “Thanks for you time.”

 

Bree nods.

 

Page: “Breakdown returns after this!”

 

The scene fades out.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns with Deanna Frost talking to SCW road agent Hiro Tanaka.

 

Tanaka: “How are you doing?”

 

Deanna: “Physically fine. But…Jessica attacking me and…”

 

Tanaka: “I’m just happy I showed up. She was trying to choke you out…she’s been in SCW for how long…”

 

Deanna: “Decades. She’s never been like that. Never violent. What is going on?”

 

Tanaka looks around.

 

Tanaka: “I’m not supposed to share this with you, but I’ve heard her psych evaluations are not good. She’s babbling. She’s talking about seeing darkness…”

 

Deanna: “Jessica…”

 

Tanaka: “Right now, we’ve forced her to return to the United States. At some cost given her condition. We’re hoping for some treatment, but I don’t know what to say.”

 

Deanna: “I may try to see her when we get back stateside.”

 

Tanaka: “Are you sure?”

 

Deanna: “She’s a friend. I’m not going to just abandon that.”

 

Tanaka: “Very honourable. Any information I can share, I’ll try to get it to you.”

 

Deanna: “Thanks.”

 

Tanaka nods and walks off. Deanna sighs as breakdown cuts to the ring.

 

Breakdown returns. All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. “In the Name of Love” by Arion feat. Cyan Kicks begins to play, the LED screens flickering to life to show a large wisteria tree in front of a starry night sky with a beautiful moon, the stars seeming like they’re slowly shifting and dancing around as petals from the tree fall and gracefully glide through the sky. One spotlight comes to life on the left side of the stage from the camera’s perspective, revealing Amelia Blythe standing underneath it, eyes focused on the ring and a small smile on her lips as her hands are folded in front of her, giving her the look of a proper young lady. A second spotlight comes to life on the right side of the stage, revealing La Pequeña Luz standing underneath it with the kind of grin that could light up a room all on its own as she motions with her hands for the fans to get pumped up, which they immediately proceed to do. Then instead of dancing to the ring as they usually do, they walk to the ring. The SCW World Tag Team Championship belts sit around their waists.

 

Sharper: “The last couple of weeks have brought renewed chaos to the tag division. Twisted & Sadistic have earned a rematch, but in the process, they just have a massive target on their backs.”

 

Knots: “Thanks to how Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan got to that shot. They declared war on the tag division. And now Light in the Darkness seem to be trying to stop the chaos. Stop the people attacking Glory and Brittany!”

 

La Pequena Luz and Amelia Blythe reach the ring. Blythe goes up first and climbs up the top rope and then walks along the apron, wiping her feet and entering the ring. La Pequena Luz slingshots into the ring. She hops forward as Blythe walks over to the corner and is handed a microphone. She takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. They look around before the music fades out and the crowd cheers a bit. Blythe and Luz look around. The crowd cheers them.

 

Blythe: “Thank you for that. It is an absolute pleasure to be here in Australia!”

 

The crowd cheers as Blythe and Luz look around.

 

Blythe: “But we wish we could stand here and feel a bit better about everything surrounding the World Tag Team Championship…and oddly, it has little to do with us in one sense and everything in another.”

 

Blythe looks around, walking around the ring a bit.

 

Blythe: “Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan earned a rematch against us.”

 

The crowd actually boos. Blythe and Luz look around, hearing this. Luz and Blythe then say something to one another before Blythe continues.

 

Blythe: “And while we could talk about Retribution, the agreement there…the fact that ultimately, we have a problem about how we got to this point, we cannot deny the talent of Glory and Brittany and we cannot deny that SCW forced them to earn a rematch. And we will not stop anyone from achieving their rematch, from facing us in the ring, and we will prove that we are the better team when that match takes place.”

 

Blythe pauses.

 

Blythe: “But at this point, we cannot feel good about that match taking place at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

 

The crowd boos a bit. Luz takes the microphone.

 

Luz: “It’s not that we won’t face them, but it’s more the baggage that the last six weeks have brought with them. With everyone focusing on trying to extract revenge for what Brittany and Glory did…”

 

Luz shakes her head.

 

Luz: “We just want to compete. I know, it may be boring to some, but we try to make magic in this ring and showcase that we are the best at working together, developing a strategy and defeating other teams. And since Brittany and Glory went on their tear, every team from the Phantom Troupe to the Cowgirls from Hell have tried to get their hands on Glory and Brittany. And we have tried to stop it, to control, to return this to competing in the ring. Where we would be honoured to face those teams between the bells in this ring and…”

 

Luz sighs.

 

Luz: “And yet, Glory and Brittany have ensured this chaos. Almost what they may deserve from insulting the entire division with their arrogance…”

 

Amelia places her hand on the back of Luz to support her.

 

Luz: “And yet, we refuse to stoop to that…we will simply prove it to them in the ring, two on two when that opportunity comes…if that opportunity is given to us. But how can we think that…when so many are headhunting…”

 

Luz pauses again.

 

Luz: “We’re going to keep trying to stop it. We’re going to keep trying to end the warring, the brawling, the fights backstage…it’s all we can do. To try and hope that reason will prevail. That teams that have a problem line up and whether it is us, or Twisted & Sadistic, we go through all of the issues and resolve them all and-“

 

Suddenly, on the big screen, we cut to a shot in one of the locker rooms where we see Chris Dumont tackling Lohan down to the ground as David Striker nails Glory with a couple of hard rights in the corner.

 

Sharper: “My God! The Phantom Troupe – Striker and Dumont going after Twisted & Sadistic!”

 

Knots: “And Light in the Darkness are out here. Intended or not?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Amelia Blythe and La Pequena Luz seeing this and they’re heading to the back!”

 

Back in the arena, Amelia and Luz exit the ring, running up the rampway to the back. The scene cuts back to the locker room where Striker stomps away on Braddock as Dumont gets up and stomps Lohan. He grabs Lohan and pulls her up and runs her over and into the wall. Lohan turns and Dumont nails her a couple of times before Lohan then tackles him down. Dumont holds on and tries to lock in a guillotine choke. Braddock covers up and tries to grab the leg of Striker. Striker grabs at the hooks in the locker room for some leverage and Braddock twists his leg down and pushes him down. Dumont then grabs Lohan as she tries to get out, but Striker kicks her in the head. Glory then grabs one of the bags and Striker in the side with it, before nailing him in the head. This leads to Dumont to nail Glory with a Tiger Knee. She falls back as the crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Oh! Dumont with a high knee. Glory down.”

 

Knots: “They had to have jumped them. Dumont and Striker had to have jumped them.”

 

Sharper: “Just as Twisted & Sadistic did to them. And last week, Striker said he’d go after them and The Enigma. Declaring war!”

 

The scene then cuts as we see Amelia and Luz running through a hallway, a camera following them. They run forward and we see Veronica Strader and Cara Strader standing across from one door with some chips. Veronica extends the bag as Amelia and Luz look at them, almost disgusted. They storm in as officials start to jog down from the other end. The camera cuts back to inside the ring as Lohan looks up at Dumont and smirks as Striker holds Lohan and Dumont nails her over and over and over again. Amelia then grabs Dumont and quickly pulls him back. Dumont spins and goes to nail her, but Amelia ducks and spins around before locking in a crossface chickenwing.

 

Sharper: “Amelia and Luz on scene!”

 

Knots: “Were the Straders just watching?!”

 

Sharper: “I think so and Amelia…she’s got a hold on Dumont! Trying to forcibly take him down.”

 

Striker throws Lohan down.

 

Striker: “Just walk away! We’re not done!”

 

Luz: “You are!”

 

Striker: “They’ve not learned a damn thing yet!”

 

Luz: “Let us beat them in the ring then! Let us have our fight!”

 

Veronica: “BOOOOOO!”

 

Cara: “This swerve sucks. Change the channel, Ronnie!”

 

Veronica: “You have plenty of ways to make it better…”

 

Cara: “Hell yeah….”

 

The Cowgirls from Hell chime in from outside the locker room. Officials enter as Amelia lets go of Dumont. Dumont spins around and looks at her.

 

Striker: “We’re having our fight! And we’re just getting STARTED!”

 

Striker turns, but Glory grabs a steel chair and turns and slams it into the left shoulder of Striker. Striker goes down, grimacing in pain. Lohan then steps up to kick him, but Luz now turns to her. Lohan just smirks at Luz.

 

Lohan: “Do you really want to get in my way, adrenaline going?”

 

Luz: “Enough!”

 

Striker: “You cheap shot swinging little bitch!”

 

Striker starts to get up and Glory lifts the chair up where Dumont grabs it, but Amelia then stops Dumont from doing more as officials get in and start to fill the space between. Shouting and yelling follow as Striker tries to get up.

 

Veronica: “At least I got my win over her before things all went to hell, huh!?”

 

Veronica yells into the room as Glory ignores it, focusing on David Striker. Amelia and Dumont keep watching one another as Luz keeps Lohan back with the help of the officials. CHBK enters the scene.

 

CHBK: “Everything under control?”

 

Striker: “Just give me five minutes with her!”

 

CHBK: “Keep him back.”

 

Striker winces a bit as he seems to favour his arm a bit.

 

Luz: “This is under control?”

 

CHBK looks around as officials keep Striker away from Glory as the scene cuts away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as a chaotic scene unfolds backstage. Kirsten Scott and Kandis are going at it both grabbing at one another and nailing each other with a couple of blows. Officials are already on the scene.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. It’s apparently fight night!”

 

Knots: “What the hell is happening. We’re in Australia and everything has gone all over the place. Did we watch the Russell Crowe episode of South Park?”

 

Sharper: “And Scott and Kandis will meet later tonight in our main event!”

 

Scott and Kandis get a few more shot in on one another before they’re pulled apart.

 

Kandis: “Don’t like the truth?”

 

Scott: “You better get used to more failure, Kandis. I’m getting the title shot at Rise to Greatness!”

 

Kandis: “Move aside…you had your ONE chance!”

 

Scott: “The hell I will!”

 

Scott steps forward, stopping again by officials as Kandis keeps yelling at her too.


Sharper: “Kandis returns and all hell is breaking loose.”

 

Knots: “Just how she’ll have it!”

 

The scene cuts away.

 

Waylon Creek vs. Diamond Steele

 

Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain. She has a microphone in her hands sings as loudly as she can to the sound of the crowd. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from London, England, she is Diamond Steele!”

 

She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

 

Sharper: “Diamond Steele back in the win column a couple of weeks ago and she turns around, comes to Australia, and now has to face the unknown of Waylon Creek.”

 

Knots: “And he’s fresh off punking out CHBK!”

 

The sound and image of a babbling brook overtake the PA and screen. Shortly after, a man dressed in a suit flickers onto the screen, standing in the middle of the creek, facing away from the camera. “Mountain Banjo” by Rhiannon Giddens comes over the system, and from hehind curtain emerges a muscular figure in a skull mask, adorned by torn up flannels, being led by a black lab on a leash.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Wailing Creek, Idaho, he is Waylon Creek.”

 

The dog leads the way as Waylon Creek follows close behind, looking around the arena. He hands the dog off to a stage hand when he gets to the ring and appears to say something to the dog. The dog sits calmly as Creek enters the ring up the steps. He calmly goes to his corner without any posing.

 

Sharper: “Talk about two people that could be nothing like one another.”

 

Knots: “Nothing alike. Diamond Steele is out there. Waylon Creek…he’s wound up as tight as a tiger!”

 

Sharper: “Like a tiger?’

 

Knots: “Ready to pounce!”

 

The bell sounds as Creek looks at Steele. The two walk around the ring. They then lock up in the middle of the ring. Diamond turns into a side headlock. She pulls back and looks around as Waylon pulls her to the ropes and then fires her off. Diamond bounces off and Waylon hits a lunging back elbow. Diamond rolls over, holding her jaw. She looks up at Waylon as Waylon slowly walks to her. Diamond watches him before kicking him in the ribs. She kicks him again and again before then grabbing Waylon and spinning him around into the corner. She kicks him over and over and over again before leaning in and choking him.

She goes to step back, but Waylon grabs her arm and pulls her in with a hard headbutt. The crowd ohs. He then smacks her in the side of the head before smacking her again and again and again. Diamond drops down and rolls to the floor. Waylon watches her for a moment. (1)

 

Sharper: “Just smacking Diamond to the mat.”

 

Knots: “Each had so much else behind it. Diamond just was going down.”

 

Diamond walks around the ring as Waylon Creek watches her before running across the ring. He bounces off the ropes and then drops down with a baseball slide, sliding to the floor. He then nails Diamond with a hard right. Diamond spins off and down to the mats. Waylon grabs her and spins her around, rolling her into the ring. Diamond rolls to her feet. Creek slowly enters the ring and Diamond moves over and stomps him in the back over and over and over again. She walks around the ring as the official warns her. Diamond nods and Creek gets up and Diamond hits a spinning back kick to the ribs. She then hits a shoot kick to the chest and then hits another spinning back kick, knocking Waylon to the mat. She goes for the pin.

Waylon kicks out. Diamond gets up and grabs the head of Waylon, locking in a cravate.

 

Sharper: “And Diamond Steele taking the fight to Waylon Creek.”

 

Knots: “Waylon has been somewhat subdued though.”

 

Sharper: “Then again, there’s a bit more experience from Diamond. Been a competitor for quite some time.”

 

Diamond drags Waylon to the ring before Waylon uses the movement to spin through and scoop Diamond up and drop her with a powerslam. Waylon rolls off and Diamond rolls over. She starts to get up and Waylon moves to the ropes, bouncing off and running at Diamond and hitting a double axe sledge to the chest. Diamond goes down. She rolls over and turns as Waylon grabs her in a pumphandle and hoists her up and drives her down. He moves to the lateral press.

Diamond kicks out. Waylon rolls over and moves to a seated position. He looks out, a slight smirk forming on his face. He runs his hands across the top of his mask before getting up. Diamond starts to get up and Waylon runs over and hits another double axe handle sledge. Diamond falls back into the ropes. Waylon then runs over and grabs at her, going for a choke, but Diamond hops up and locks in an armbar over the top rope.

She lets go and Waylon turns, clutching his arm. He grimaces in pain and gets up as Daimond climbs up to the top rope. She looks at Waylon as he gets up. She then dives off as he turns and lands on his head and spins through with a tornado DDT. She goes for the pin.

Creek kicks out again. Diamond gets up.

 

Sharper: “Diamond throwing whatever she can at this man.”

 

Knots: “He keeps getting up. He keeps kicking out.”

 

Sharper: “Two DDTs.”

 

Knots: “Do it again!”

 

Diamond grab Creek and pulls him up. She goes for another DDT, but Creek this time lifts her up and throws her forward onto her feet. He then chops her in the throat. The crowd ohs. Diamond rolls over, holding her throat in pain. She gets up and Creek chops her again in the throat. Diamond gets up.

 

Knots: “Two shots to the throat! Going after that singing voice!”

 

Creek then scoops her up and drops her to her feet only to hit an elevation leg drop, driving her into the mat.

 

Sharper: “Oh! Driving her down. Just all that weight across her chest.”

 

Diamond rolls over as Creek rolls to his knees and gets up. He slowly cracks his neck, tilting his head as he then turns and watches Diamond. Diamond slowly gets up and Creek runs into the ropes and bounces off and runs at Diamond and hits a vicious running clothesline. Diamond backflips to her stomach. The crowd ohs. She then grimaces before slowly getting up and Creek just watches her only to immediately lunge, locking in the Canary. He pushes her down, forcing her to the mat, pressing down.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The bell sounds. The babbling creek, without the banjo, is then heard in the background. Creek calmly lets go and rolls off and slowly gets up.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Waylon Creek!”

 

Sharper: “And Creek stopping Steele’s win streak before it begins.”

 

Knots: “And just paralyzing her with that hold. It’s a pin for the record books, but that was a submission. She couldn’t do anything!”

 

Sharper: “And this man, this odd man, just getting up and look at him. Calmly exiting. Calmly retrieving his dog.”

 

Knots: “Just imagine what happens to the airline hostess if they don’t let him travel with Fido there!”

 

Creek exits the ring and goes to the steel steps. He walks down them and goes over to the ring hand, taking back his dog. He then starts to walk up the rampway to the back, ignoring what he did behind him in the ring.

 

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Dark Fantasy vs. The Phantom Troupe follows.

 

Sharper: “It’s a wild night already and next, Dark Fantasy in action against the Phantom Troupe.”

 

Knots: “Is Striker going to be okay?”

 

Sharper: “We’ll find out, next!”

 

The scene fades out.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Scott Reed and Kirsten Scott now going at it backstage. Kirsten runs Reed into the wall and kicks him a couple of times before he falls over and rolls over. Kirsten runs over after him and grabs him, but Reed elbows her in the ribs and then turns and nails her in the jaw. Scott staggers back.

 

Scott: “What do I need to do to get rid of you?!”

 

Reed: “Try your best shot-“

 

Kirsten steps up and Reed goes to tackle her down, but officials run into the scene.

 

Sharper: “Another backstage fight! What is going on tonight?”

 

Knots: “CHBK is going to be busy. That’s for sure!”

 

Reed and Kirsten keep trying to attack each other as officials try to get them apart.

 

Dark Fantasy vs. The Phantom Troupe

 

A record scratch interrupts the normal Infamous introduction, only for the sound of Cute Is What We Aim For’s hit to begin around the arena.
 
“I’ve got the gift of one-liners,
And you’ve got the curse of curves”
 
The opening to “Misery Business” by Paramore suddenly hits the PA system as the spotlights on the stage flash between pink and white. We cut to the back where we see Ravyn Taylor walking through the corridors before heading over to the curtain on the floor to the right of the stage. She walks out and looks around the arena as we see Syren step out from the back, Lexy Chapel with her. Chapel keeps a hand out, stopping Syren from even moving towards Ravyn while also keeping an eye on Ravyn.
 
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a tag team match with a thirty minute time limit. First, coming to the ring, accompanied by Lexy Chapel, they are Syren and Ravyn Taylor. They are the team of Lexy Chapel presents Dark Fantasy!”

 

Syren then starts to head to the ring as Lexy turns and heads after her. Ravyn walks over to the rampway and steps onto it, ending up standing next to Syren. Syren focuses on the ring as Ravyn smirks. Lexy steps past Ravyn pointing at Ravyn’s eyes and then at her own, before following Syren. Syren reaches the ring and climbs up the steps and into the ring. Ravyn then follows as Lexy Chapel walks along the floor. Both women remove their ring jackets and toss them to the corner. Syren climbs up on to the ropes, with one foot on the bottom and one on the middle ropes. Ravyn stands alongside her. Ravyn then goes to finish the old Dark Fantasy entrance, locking her hand with Syren. Lexy Chapel goes to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Can this be a good reset night. Last week, we saw Ravyn Taylor hyping Syren up. Syren declaring she is going to win. She has some plan.”

 

Knots; “Jason Zero. Two words. Jason Zero. Someone CHBK hates more than anyone. What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

 

The lights in the arena dim slightly as the deep and thundering sounds of a strange techno beat begins to echo throughout the arena as the crowd then explode in a massive pop as first Chris Dumont and then David Striker followed closely behind by both Irvine and Kyle Gibson while White Zombie’s “I’m your Boogieman” starts to echo throughout the arena,

 

Phillips: “Introducing their opponents, they are escorted to the ring by Irvine and Kyle Gibson, they are the team of David “Bam Bam” Striker *AND* The “Ronin” Chris Dumont, they are Dangerous Minds!!”

 

Chapel points to the stage as Syren and Ravyn talk. All four men stride down to the ring with David occasionally hitting a bit of a Freebird Strut. He winces a bit, stretching out his left shoulder, as they go with both men occasionally bumping fists with the fans before they reach the ring at which point both David and Chris climb up onto the ring before wiping their feet on the apron before entering the ring proper. David goes to the far turnbuckle and hits a pose while Chris simply protects the back of his friend and partner while Irvine and Gibson keep an eye on things by the ring before David hops back down to the ring before shucking off his ring coat.

 

Sharper: “Looks like the back-up arrived. Striker and Dumont not alone. More of the Phantom Troupe here, arriving in Sydney.”

 

Knots: “You see his shoulder. He favoured it a bit.”

 

Sharper: “And you know Ravyn and Syren saw it. Then again, Striker has to be in a lot of pain in general. Only a couple of weeks removed from the Long Road Out of Hell and I don’t see a world where he’s not one hundred percent!”

 

Syren and Striker start off as Irvine and Kyle Gibson stand with Dumont. Chapel starts to yell at them as the bell sounds. Striker and Syren step up and Syren drops down and around Striker into a waistlock and then a side headlock. She pulls back as Striker pulls her back into the ropes. He fires her off. Syren bounces off the ropes and Striker shoulders her down. He shakes out his left arm before running into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes. Syren drops down. He hops over and bounces off the other side. Syren hits a leapfrog. Striker hits the opposite side and Syren goes for a hip toss, but Striker spins through and sends her down with one. Syren gets up and Striker grabs her, but Syren hits a single-leg takedown. She moves into a pin.

Striker kicks out. Both get up and Syren forearms him in the jaw once and then again. Striker ends up at the ropes. Syren goes to whip him across. Striker spins through and sends her in. Syren hits a quick tag on Ravyn. She bounces off and Striker hits a huge back drop. Syren rolls out of the ring as Ravyn runs up behind Striker and wrenches his left arm. Striker grimaces in pain and Ravyn jerks on the arm. He reaches up, but Ravyn wrenches it again.

 

Sharper: “And just like that, Syren the diversion and Ravyn to the arm.”

 

Knots: “Immediately saw the weakness. Going to exploit it here and this could be a short one if Dark Fantasy does what we know they can.”

 

Striker winces and then pushes up at Ravyn, letting out a yell and pushes her into the ropes and fires her off. Ravyn bounces off and Striker goes for a spinning back elbow, but Ravyn slides under. Striker turns and Ravyn hits a jawbreaker. Striker staggers and Ravyn then forearms him in the jaw and then snapmares him over before raking the boot across his face. He turns and Ravyn locks in another armbar. Striker winces and slowly gets up, Ravyn still attached. Striker then nails her in the ribs with a shot and then another before firing Ravyn into the ropes. Striker hits a back elbow and turns and tags in Dumont. Dumont enters and Ravyn gets up and Dumont grabs her from behind, hitting a belly to back suplex. The crowd ohs. Dumont goes for the pin.

Ravyn kicks out. She turns and Dumont grabs her and hits a vertical suplex. He then turns and tags Striker back in. Ravyn turns and Striker and Dumont drop her with dual chops to the forehead. Striker walks through. Chapel paces as Striker turns back to Ravyn.

 

Sharper: “Striker and Dumont with the double team. Just hard shots to Ravyn’s head.”

 

Knots: “Best place to attack her. If she’s concussed, she can’t plot.”

 

Ravyn looks up as Striker knees her in the ribs and then turns and runs her into the corner. Striker walks around and runs at her and jumps up and hits a running double knee smash in the corner. He drags her out and goes for the pin.

Striker kicks out. Syren rolls off as Striker turns and Syren stomps him in the back of the head once and then again.

 

Sharper: “Syren getting into the match. Hard stomps and Dark Fantasy back in control.”

 

Knots: “Striker on one arm taking one someone who may still be on one leg. We assume she’s one hundred percent. Lexy getting her back in there.”

 

Sharper: “The doctors had to have cleared her, but you don’t know if they may have suggested more time off. For both!”

 

Syren grabs Striker, dragging him up and running him face first into the top turnbuckle. Striker turns and Syren kicks him in the ribs over and over and over again. She then walks back to the middle of the ring and runs at Striker and hits the Face Lift Yakuza kick. The crowd ohs. Striker staggers out and Syren throws him down and goes for the pin.

Syren springboards to the top rope and dives forward, hitting the Blondeton Bomb on Dumont. Dumont rolls over as Syren rolls through and winces a bit. She then looks over as Dumont is down as Ravyn rolls to her side. The crowd roars as we see Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan starting to head from the back. The crowd erupts some more as Striker notices them. He motions to Irvine and Kyle. They nod and start to head up the rampway.

 

Sharper: “Twisted and Sadistic now out here! Syren has Dumont hurt and the fight is back on!”

 

Knots: “And Lohan and Braddock aren’t skirting from this and the back-up is ready to fight! Here we go! You want war. The troupe brought the units for it!”

 

Kyle and Irvine then pick up speed as Lohan and Braddock then run forward and the four clash in the rampway. The crowd erupts. Syren slowly gets up, looking at this. She turns back as she helps Ravyn up and Lexy Chapel looks on Dumont moves to the ropes as Striker starts to get up and runs at Syren and nails her with a Deadly Rave. The crowd ohs. Ravyn then turns and runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting the Bust of Pallas. Officials and agents run onto the scene as Lohan and Irvine and Kyle and Glory trade blows. CHBK then comes out to restore order. Lexy Chapel walks around, watching from the ringside area. CHBK tries to get in between the two sides as in the ring, Dumont turns and runs at the ropes. Ravyn ducks a clothesline attempt and she runs into the ropes. Both hit hard in the middle of the ring. The official in the ring joins his comrades in trying to split the two groups apart.

 

Chapel: “Just superkick them, dad! Come on!”

 

CHBK ignores his daughter as the two groups are broken apart gradually. Ravyn crawls to the ropes as Dumont stirs. Striker does too and Syren slowly does as well.

 

Sharper: “Chaos here and CHBK again trying to help his staff regain order.”

 

Lohan backs away towards the ring, joined by Glory. Lexy then backs away.

 

Chapel: “Dad! Her! Her! Superkick her!”

Ravyn joins Chapel and Syren at ringside before we hear the sound of a motorcycle revving. The crowd roars as a few moments pass before Veronica and Cara ride out from the back, each on their motorcycles. Veronica moves to the side as Cara drives a bit forward. Veronica and Cara look at one another. They nod as Luz and Blythe start to grapple a bit with Kyle and Irvine. The crowd roars and officials start to warn as Cara revs and starts to drive.

 

Sharper: “The Cowgirls from Hell! Riding their hogs! And my God!”

 

Knots: “They’re going to run down the tag champs, the Troupe and half of the officials!”

 

Cara moves forward as the officials, Light in the Darkness, and Troupe split, all diving out of the way into the barricade. Cara drives to the ringside area and starts to move around as Lexy motions to get Syren into the crowd. Syren backs up and she nearly shoves her over. Ravyn exits and helps her over as Chapel hops over. Veronica follows Cara and the two start to circle around the ring slowly as the crowd erupts in cheers.

 

Sharper: “The Cowgirls from Hell are circling the ring on their motorcycles. Braddock and Striker again broken up. Chaos all around the tag division here in Sydney!”

 

Knots: “What the hell is going on?!”

 

The crowd roars as Veronica and Cara stop and look in the ring. Braddock looks at them as Lohan motions to them. Dumont even does too as CHBK, Tanaka and Dillusion struggle. A couple more officials enter the ring as Syren is whisked through the crowd with Chapel and Ravyn. Veronica and Cara get off their motorcycles and they hop onto the apron. The crowd roars some more as they look at everyone else in the ring. Light in the Darkness manage to take their opportunity to run down to the ring and slide in. They get in and join CHBK, Tanaka, Dillusion and the officials in trying to keep everyone apart. Irvine and Kyle storm to the ring, stopped by some of the officials on the floor. The crowd cheers loudly as the camera angle cuts to a wide shot showing the mass of humanity in the ring and around it, including motorcycles. The cheers continue as the scene fades out.

Breakdown returns as we see CHBK standing backstage with Jaina Lancaster. His suit can be seen to be a bit wrinkled from the fracas.

 

Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown and I’m here with COO Alex Desoubrais, and Mr. Desoubrais…the situation in the tag division has been wild tonight. I’ve never seen anything like that.”

 

CHBK: “Between people continuing to search for revenge, Light in the Darkness trying to stop it, and the potential injury due to the recklessness of the Cowgirls, this needs to end. SCW can’t afford to continue to allow chaos to occur, and trust me, I know there are other issues that are going down the same way-“

 

???: “Give them all superkicks!”

 

CHBK glances off camera. We see Lexy Chapel running over to him.

 

Chapel: “Do it! DO it! And give Dark Fantasy that win. Come on! The chaos. They had NOTHING to do with it. They were angels-“

 

CHBK: “Lucas…”

 

The camera turns to show Lucas Knight talking to Dean Black.

 

CHBK: “Mind escorting Lexy back to her locker room.”

 

Lucas: “Well I was…never mind. I’ll happily do it.”

 

CHBK: “Thanks.”

 

Chapel: “I can get there myself! Don’t you want to see Syren as champion again!”

 

Lucas motions to Chapel and they start to head off as CHBK turns back to Jaina.

 

CHBK: “Sorry about that. But I do have another solution.”

 

CHBK clears his throat.

 

CHBK: “At Taking Hold of the Flame, we’re going to see this war take on a different methods. And we’ll see on one side, Light in the Darkness…teaming with Twisted and Sadistic, since they’re trying to protect them…against Cowgirls from Hell and the Dangerous Minds of the Phantom Troupe in an eight person tag match.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

CHBK: “Let’s see who prevails.”

 

Jaina: “What of the tag titles?”

 

CHBK: “Let’s just say that I can’t pull Twisted & Sadistic’s title shot…but I can consider that their path to it may be a bit less direct, a consequence of their actions.”

 

CHBK heads off as the crowd cheers a bit.

 

Jaina: “Back to the ring.”

 

Gavin Taylor vs. Katie Steward

 

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall.  Introducing first, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, now hailing from Los Angeles, California, he is “The All Star” “The Franchise Player” “The Man Who Would Be King” “Best Wrestler in the Universe” “Real-World Jedi” “Wrestling’s Kwisatz Haderach” “MVP of Life”, "Obscenely Naturally Talented", "The History-Maker”…and AUSTRALIA’s Favorite Wrestler" GAVIN TAYLOR!

 

The crowd roars. The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena. 

 

Whoa is me 

I'm so whoa 

See me decked out from my head to my toe 

Whoa is me 

I'm so whoa 

Everywhere I go I'm a one man show 

 

And the song continues... 

 

The crowd boos as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays. 

 

Say whoa (whoa) 

The more I feel it whoa (whoa) 

The more I need it whoa (whoa) 

You say whoa 

Whoa is me 

I'm so whoa 

 

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope. 

 

The song continues... 

 

I cheated to get what I got 

Stepped all over you self for my spot 

I bet you I'm winning, I bet that you're not 

I bet you don't see me, I bet you get caught 

 

Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out. 

 

Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes as he watches for his opponent.

 

Phillips: And his opponent, The Blond Bombshell, The Goddess of Desire, the Queen of Queens, KATIE STEWARD!

 

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind" 

 

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Sweet but Psycho:” by Ava Max plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold religious ring robe that is popelike and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd. TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length. Katie walks around the ring and up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie to her corner.

 

Gavin starts by rushing but Katie catches him with a hip toss, a second hip toss, and then a third.  He scrambles back to his feet Katie with a jumping knee strike and Gavin goes down again.  Steward pulls him up but he pokes her in the eyes.  Gavin uses the brief opportunity to recover before rushing in and turning her inside out with a Gavin Taylor Lariat.

 

Sharper: “And right off the bat!”

 

Knots: “Gavin Taylor Lariat and Australia is loving it!”

 

Gavin locks Katie in an abdominal stretch. He is close enough to the ropes that he is able to grab hold of the ropes to get extra leverage.  Katie tries to tell the official but when he goes to check Gavin releases his grip on the ropes.  The referee goes to check on Katie and Gavin goes back to the ropes, adding more pressure.  Again Katie tries to tell the referee.  This time the referee catches Gavin in the act and orders him to release.  Once he lets go of the ropes Katie takes him down with a hip toss.  Katie with double knees to Gavin’s gut followed by a standing moonsault.

 

Sharper: “Nice moonsault. Katie still as technically sound as we’ve seen.”

 

Knots: “And all of her weight on Gavin…er…I’m not saying anything bad there. Just pointing out she hit it good!”

 

Gavin rolls to the ring apron to try and stop the momentum.  Steward charges in with Goddess Punch knocking him off the apron and to the floor.  Katie goes out after him.  She smashes him face first against the steel steps once, twice, and three times.  Katie goes for a whip but Gavin reverses sending her face first into the steel ring post.  Gavin pulls her up and drops her with a belly to belly overhead suplex on the outside.  He pulls Katie up and rolls her back into the ring.  Gavin with the All Starmaker!  Gavin with the cover on Katie.

 

1…

 

2…Kickout!

 

Gavin applies a figure four.  Katie is in pain but refuses to quit.  Gavin is close enough to the ropes that he reaches up and grabs them to add extra pressure.  The referee catches him in the act and tells him to break the hold.  Gavin breaks it. He drags Katie back to the center and tries to reapply the figure four but she counters with a small package.

 

1…

 

2…Kickout!

 

Both pop up at about the same time.  Gavin goes for another Gavin Taylor Lariat but Katie ducks it and follows that up with a jaw breaker and then she hits the ropes and drops Gavin with Botox Injection!  Katie takes Gavin and turns him over into a sharpshooter.

 

Sharper: “Sharpshooter by Katie!”

 

Knots: “On a Canadian. There’s some irony!”

 

The referee is in Gavin’s face, asking for a submission, but he refuses. The Australian crowd cheers on Gavin. He crawls towards the bottom ropes.  He is nearly there.  Finally he reaches the bottom rope to force the break.  Katie pulls Gavin up and drops him with a Russian leg sweep.  She then hits the ropes, once, twice, and then drops The Queen’s Elbow.  She covers…

 

1…

 

2…Kickout!

 

Katie pulls Gavin back to his feet.  She sets him up for the Hair Flip DDT but Taylor counters it with a spine buster.  Gavin uses the ropes to pull himself back up.  Katie pushes herself back to her feet.  Katie turns around into the Dependable Roundhouse but, unfortunately for Gavin, it sends Katie to the outside and he cannot capitalize!

 

Sharper: “Gavin hits the Dependable Roundhouse, but Katie did the damage.”

 

Knots: “And she’s going to come back! We know that!”

 

Gavin orders the referee to begin the countout…

Katie Steward starts to stir while Gavin rests inside the ring.

Katie manages to get back to her feet and staggers to the apron.

Katie is back onto the apron.  Gavin snatches her through the apron and drops her with Cubic Zirconium Cutter!  He rolls over into the cover…

2…

 

…3NO!

 

Sharper: “Only two!”

 

Knots: “That’s because Katie only wants diamonds!”

 

Gavin pulls Katie back to her feet.  He whips her into the ropes but he lowers his head too early and she kicks him in the face!  She drops him with The Most Beautiful Superkick Ever!  Katie measures Gavin as he tries to get back up to his feet.  She kicks him in the gut and then plants him with Hair Flip DDT!  Katie with the cover, hooking a leg…

 

1…

 

2…

 

…3NO!

 

Katie gets in Gavin’s face, cups her hands, and screams at him!  Gavin rakes her eyes!  The referee warns him as he pulls himself back to his feet.  He drops her with another Gavin Taylor Lariat!  He pulls Katie back up to her feet, hoists her up, and then plants her with Highlight of the Night!  Gavin covers…

 

1…

 

2…

 

…3!

 

Phillips: Here is your winner, Gavin Taylor!

 

Gavin rolls off as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor returns to Australia and is victorious!”

 

Knots: “Talk about rising to the occasion and if he can keep pushing this. He can keep winning. Maybe he’ll improve on last year!”

 

Sharper: “Katie and Gavin both in the battle royal. Gavin was the runner up and if he’s getting hot…Bad for everyone.”

 

Knots: “Good for Gavin! And good for Australia!”

 

Gavin Taylor gets up and raises his arm. He nods as he looks around. He then plays to the crowd some more, getting more cheers. He beams in the moment as he walks around and the scene cuts away.

 

Backstage, we see Lucas Knight having returned Lexy Chapel to the LexyCorp locker room.

 

Chapel: “Okay, I’m here. You can go now!”

 

Knight: “Syren…you okay?”

 

Syren: “Fine, Lucas. Just fine.”

 

Knight: “You’ll get back on the right side of the win-loss record. But focus there…I don’t know what…”

 

Ravyn Taylor then walks over, coming from the back of the room

 

Ravyn: “What’s that Lucas?”

 

Chapel: “He’s leaving. He can’t get all of his secrets! He works for my dad!”

 

Knight: “What are you thinking, Ravyn? Jason Zero…you want CHBK to work against you. He hates that bastard.”

 

Ravyn: “But he’ll remember what he did. Want another name? One less problematic? Christy Matthews.”

 

Knight: “What about her?”

 

Ravyn: “She’s important to this too. So is…Damian Angel?”

 

Ravyn shrugs.

 

Chapel: “Okay! Ravyn, we need to talk. You’re just angering-“

 

Ravyn: “Nothing of the sort. Just those names give a very clear outline of what Syren can have for her when she wins.”

 

Ravyn looks at Syren.

 

Knight: “Just be careful.”

 

Ravyn: “I will.”

 

Syren: “Should we-“

 

Ravyn: “It will be fine. And Lexy…you agreed.”

 

Chapel: “Well…..uh….don’t do something Satan-y, Satan!”

 

Knight steps out and leaves as the scene fades to commercial.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as Jaina Lancaster stands with Scott Reed.

 

Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jaina Lancaster here with Scott Reed and Scott, you and Kirsten Scott have been going back and forth the last few weeks. You even got involved attacking her tonight. But…this is getting out of hand.”

 

Reed: “Do you remember when she first came in? She attacked me. Why? Because I was the old guard? I was an easy target. I don’t know. But I didn’t forget. I didn’t forget how little she thought of me and now, she’s starting to break through and good for her. But I didn’t forget.”

 

Reed pauses.

 

Reed: “I’m no longer an agent because I didn’t agree with some things. I don’t agree with how she carries herself. And I don’t agree with forgetting. So I reminded her and I’m not backing down. I may get beat. Fine! But I’m going down swinging!”

 

Reed looks at the camera.

 

Reed: “But I will honour one thing…maybe it will open her eyes. I’m cheering for Kandis. Not just because of her ass. I think Kandis is better. I think Kandis deserves a rematch against Selena. Simple as that. And I hope she beats Kirsten Scott. But ONE thing I know…Kandis doesn’t need my help. So I’ll happily watch. And maybe next time Scott sees me, maybe she’ll be more humble.”

 

Reed turns and heads off.

 

Jaina: “Thank you Scott Reed. We’ll see what happens later tonight when Kandis faces Kirsten Scott and-“

 

Simon: “Jaina! Jaina Jaina Jaina!”

 

Jaina turns, seizing up a bit. Simon Lyman walks into the view.

 

Jaina: “Get the hell away from me.”

 

Simon: “But why? We should talk. We have so much to talk about, Jaina. You seem to have the wrong idea about me.”

 

Jaina: “I have a pretty good idea about you. About what you did to my mother. About what you’ve done to Bree and-“

 

Simon: “All a mistake. I’m just trying to save you all and-“

 

Cassie Wolfe runs into the scene and jumps Simon. The crowd ohs. Simon falls into the background. Wolfe runs forward and stomps him in the chest over and over and over again.

 

Sharper: “Cassie Wolfe, getting revenge. Attacking Simon Lyman!”

 

Knots: “Lyman cost her the Adrenaline Title. How about this!”

 

Wolfe stomps away on Lyman over and over. Lyman covers up before officials come into view. Jaina then steps in and starts to pull Wolfe off.

 

Wolfe: “Want to jump us from behind! There! How do you like it? I’m not hard to find. I want to kick your ass! Right Australia!”

 

The crowd erupts.

 

Wolfe: “Come on! Drag his sorry ass to the ring!”

 

Wolfe looks around as Jaina pulls him back.

 

Simon: “Ah…I…where are we? Who is that?”

 

Simon falls over and gets up and stumbles over.

 

Wolfe: “I didn’t hit your head, you son of a bitch!”

 

Dillusion steps in.

 

Dillusion: “Get him to the trainer’s room.”

 

Elijah Smith runs into view.

 

Smith: “Boss!”

 

He helps Simon up too and Simon stumbles around and then as he’s taken off, he can be seen smirking as he steadies himself. They take him away.

 

Wolfe: “You cowardly son of a bitch!”

 

Jaina: “Cassie…I know…Thanks for getting me.”

 

Wolfe: “Not letting that creep attack you or anyone I care about here in my home Country!”

 

Wolfe turns and plays to the crowd, hearing a roar. Wolfe smirks.

 

Wolfe: “I would’ve liked him in the ring, but I’ll take that.”

 

The crowd buzzes as we cut away.

 

Dakon Theron vs. The Enigma

Underground Rules

 

Off To War by Behemoth plays over the sound system with the lights being dark as ever as Konrad, with Ginny behind him in the middle, Ludvig on the left, and Dakon on the right-hand sides, looking at the crowd and getting heavy boos. When the lights briefly came back on, you see Dakon and Ludvig standing there. Their arms are raised. They didn’t bring their flags. They are without Ginny.

Phillips: “The following match is an Underground Rules match. Scheduled for one fall. Introducing first… Dakon Theron!”

They both slowly trot down the entrance ramp. They pose at the front of the ring, but neither man looks pleased. They march up the steps and enter the ring. The two members of the European Fiery Nation discussed something heated, but Dakon pointed towards the outside of the ring.

Sharper: “Ginny is noticeably absent. As well, as Konrad Raab. Dakon and Ludvig is out here on their own.”

Knots: “And you know it’s personal. Dakon is a tag team special. The Nation has one rule, and that is not to wrestle as as singles competitor wrestler. But here we are.”

Sharper: “Personal to say the least. Dakon’s opponent tonight attacked Ginny Raab as part of part the Enigma’s mad games.”

Knots: “You can tell right now that Dakon is about to murder someone. Unfortunately for him, the Enigma is one scary dude.”

The arena falls into complete darkness as a haunting melody, "Whispers of the Abyss," begins to resonate throughout. Eerie silence sweeps over the audience, and a sense of anticipation builds.

Suddenly, a soft, bluish glow illuminates the entrance ramp. Mysterious mist starts to billow out, creating an otherworldly ambiance. The crowd hushes, waiting in awe for "The Enigma's" arrival.

A spotlight slowly emerges, revealing "The Enigma" standing at the top of the entrance ramp. He's cloaked in enigmatic attire and his haunting mask. His presence seems to draw the energy from the surroundings.

With supernatural grace, "The Enigma" descends the ramp. The mist swirls around him, concealing his every step, as if he is a specter emerging from the abyss.

The audience watches in silent fascination as he reaches the ringside area. The enigmatic symbols on the walls of the arena come to life, glowing in response to his presence.

"The Enigma" ascends the steel steps, never breaking eye contact with his opponent. His gaze remains hidden behind the mask, adding to the mystique surrounding him.

Inside the ring, "The Enigma" spreads his arms wide, and the eerie mist intensifies, shrouding the entire ring. The audience is captivated by the mystical display before them.

The haunting melody of "Whispers of the Abyss" reaches its crescendo. "The Enigma" drops to one knee, his cloak sweeping the canvas. He raises his arms, and the mist begins to dissipate, revealing the mysterious aura he brings with him.

As the music fades, "The Enigma" remains in the center of the ring, an enigmatic figure who has left the audience spellbound. The lights return, but the sense of mystery lingers in the air.

Phillips: “And his opponent, weighing in at—”

Dakon doesn’t wait for the bell. He attacked the Enigma from behind, clubbing him. The Enigma falls forward into the ropes. Dakon punches the Enigma in the kidney repeatedly. The referee calls for the bell to start the match. Dakon takes hold of the Enigma’s head and smashes the Enigma face first into the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Dakon is not waiting for the Enigma to be announced. He wants to get his hands on Enigma. For Ginny!”

Knots: “I don’t think I’ve seen Dakon this intense. He’s gone berserk.”

Sharper: “Dakon obviously cares about Ginny. The whole Nation does!”

Dakon repeatedly smashes the Enigma’s head against the turnbuckle and steps away. He comes back with a shoulder to the arch of the spine. Dakon rolls out of the ring where he is handed a steel chair by Ludvig. Dakon slides it into the ring and follows suit. Before he could lift the chair off the mat, the Enigma had recovered. The Enigma booted Dakon in the side of the face. Dakon staggered and ran towards the Enigma, who lifted him up and delivered a spinebuster right onto the steel chair! Dakon arched his back in pain.

Sharper: “Monstrous spinebuster on the steel chair!”

Knots: “That had to hurt!”

Sharper: “The Enigma has gained control of the match. This is not where you want to be if you were Dakon trying to exact revenge.”

The Enigma rolled out of the ring. He yanked out a box. He wiped open the side, throwing aside the cardboard to reveal fluorescent lights. Dakon caught the Enigma with a baseball slide as he looked up. The Enigma staggered. Dakon delivered a series of right hands to the Enigma. The Enigma boots Dakon into the stomach. He prepares Dakon for a powerbomb, aiming for the lights. Dakon reverses with a back-body drop. Enigma lands face first onto the light tubes with a crack. Dakon ordered Ludvig to lift Enigma as Dakon climbed onto the apron with a steel chair. Dakon goes to jump off with the steel chair to boot it right into the face of Enigma, but Enigma moves Ludvig in the way! Dakon destroyed Ludvig with the chair! Dakon looks at his fallen comrade with shock while the Enigma takes Dakon’s head and smashes it against the ring post.

Sharper: “Dakon made a critical mistake! He took out his support!”

Knots: “And now the Enigma has taken control again, despite having some shark of glass sticking out his arm.”

The Enigma: “You can’t protect the ones that trust you.”

Sharper: “The Enigma now mocking Dakon.”

Dakon throws back and elbow. The Enigma ducks, and there’s a back suplex, bringing Dakon’s head against the guard rail. A holy shit chant starts up in the crowd. The Enigma shoves Dakon over and mounts his back. He slams Dakon face into the floor before leaning down into his ear and whispering something. The crowd grows loud with commotion. Down the ramp comes David Striker! David Striker runs around the ring and hits the Enigma with the Deadly Rave! The Enigma goes down to the floor. David Striker stomps down onto him.

Sharper: “David Striker is here! He wants revenge for that attack! The Enigma might be regretting making so many enemies!”

Knots: “The Enigma is covering up. David Striker is out here to punish him!”

Dakon and Ludvig help each other out in the meantime. They look over and notice the ongoing assault. David Striker is pulled off the Enigma and is confronted by the duo. Shoving starts between Dakon and Striker. Striker throws a punch, but Dakon tosses Striker up with a flapjack, and Ludvig hits the cutter for the European United Drop!

Knots: “Why are they attacking Striker? He wanted revenge too!”

Sharper: “The European Fiery Nation and Striker are competing over the right of who gets to kick the Enigma’s butt.”

Knots: “And right now, the Nation got the better of Striker.”

Dakon reached underneath the ring. He pulled out a table to the delight of the fans. He set up the table on the outside of the ring. He signaled Ludvig to help him with the Enigma. They dragged Enigma to his feet. Dakon and Ludvig hammer some forearms onto Enigma before Dakon lifts Enigma up onto his shoulder. Ludvig leaps onto the apron. Fiery European Destroyer through the table! The crowd explodes! The two members of the Nation celebrate with a hug. Dakon turns to the Enigma, who is lying in the wreckage of the table. Ludvig tells him to pin, but Dakon shakes his head.

Sharper: “FIERY EUROPEAN DESTROYER THROUGH THE TABLE! MY GAWD!”

Knots: “And Dakon wants to inflict even more punishment on the Enigma! This is his chance to win! Stop while you’re ahead!”

Sharper: “Dakon is signaling for Ludvig to get Enigma back up to his feet. He’s not finished!”

Ludvig does what he is told. He drags the Enigma to his feet. Dakon yanks the steel chair from the timekeeper and lines up a shot. He swings wildly but the Enigma gets his boot up to kick the chair back into Dakon’s face. The Enigma then swings his elbow back to Ludvig. Spinning back elbow knocks Ludvig off his feet. The Enigma turns, rips the chair out of Dakon’s hands, and thrusts it into the midsection. He then slams it down onto Dakon’s back. The Enigma rolls Dakon into the ring, discarding the chair in the process. Instead, the Enigma pulls out another table. He slides it into the ring where he enters to set it up.

Sharper: “The Enigma managed to overcome the odds for the time being and has Dakon right where he wants him.”

Knots: “No pin attempts so far this match. So far, Dakon has forgone such attempts in order to inflict as much pain and suffering as he can to the Enigma.”

Sharper: “Right now, the Enigma is looking to end this. I think he had enough.”

The Enigma rolls Dakon onto the table. He lowers his head onto Dakon’s forehead before climbing up to the top rope. He lines up ford the Shadowfall, but before he could dive off the top rope, Kimberly Williams is there! She staples his ass! She holsters her staple gun as Enigma jumps off the top rope. She steps into the ring, undoing the metal baseball bat on her back. She swings it into the midsection of the Enigma. She then brings it across his face. Enigma crumples to the mat.

Knots: “Now Kim’s here! This match is pure chaos!”

Sharper: “And you have to wonder if the Enigma had Dakon beat!”

Dakon rolls off the table, but he goes right back to the mat after Kimberly bashes the baseball bat off his head. She notices someone behind her on the apron and goes to wildly swing but stops when she recognizes it is David Striker. Ludvig climbs onto the apron to her right, and she drops the bat, runs forward, and spears him through the ropes, taking them both to the outside!

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams cleaned house! Only David Striker is standing in the ring and he looks like he has plans to continue his revenge.”

Knots: “His focus is on the Enigma.”

Sharper: “He better get to it before Dakon wakes up. We saw earlier that Dakon didn’t take lightly to Striker getting involved.”

Enigma climbed onto his hands and knees. David Striker boots him in the ribs. The Enigma fights to his feet where David Striker drills him with an european uppercut. He pulls Enigma away from the ropes and preps for the Equilivant Exchange! Dakon rips David Striker back and hits him with the Blade Driver! Dakon yanks the Enigma up to his feet but there’s an uppercut right to the jaw. Dakon flies onto the table. Enigma helps him the rest of the way before hopping to the top rope and hitting the Shadowfall!

Sharper: “Shadowfall! Dakon might have just signed up for his own demise!”

Knots: “The pin!”

1…

2…

3!

Kimberly goes to enter the ring but a black mist fills the ring. The mist obscures the ring and when it finally clears, the Enigma is gone. David Striker is sitting up in confusion. Kimberly Williams seems utterly disappointed. Dakon is starting to stir and Ludvig seems frustrated on the outside of the ring.

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

Sharper: “In the end, no one got their revenge! The Enigma managed to steal the win and escaped their wrath.”

Knots: “You think that having a common enemy would bring this lot together; however, the European Fiery Nation and David Striker kept getting into each other way. Kimberly Williams didn’t help matters either!”

 

Kim turns and walks over to Striker and checks on him as EFN moves around, annoyed.

 

Backstage though, we see Deanna Frost heading through the backstage area. She is walking with purpose and picks up her pace before taking a few more steps and then running over to Hiro Tanaka.

 

Deanna: “Hiro!”

 

Hiro turns, stopping his conversation with a crew member.

 

Deanna: “Sorry to interrupt. Can I borrow you for a moment, Hiro?”

 

Hiro: “Of course.”

 

Hiro walks over to the side with Deanna.

 

Deanna: “Jessica said the darkness…”

 

Hiro looks around.

 

Hiro: “Yes, but I didn’t tell you-“

 

Deanna: “Enigma.”

 

Hiro: “What?”

 

Deanna: “The Enigma. The black mist. She was in the ring with him two weeks ago. She…”

 

Deanna pauses.

 

Deanna: “They were eye to eye. I didn’t think of anything but…”

 

Hiro: “Okay…we’ll look back on the footage and if there’s something we can share it. But what you do think?”

 

Deanna: “I don’t know. All I know is this Enigma guy messes with people. What if he messed with Jessica?”

 

Hiro: “We’ll look into it.”

 

Deanna nods.

 

Deanna: “Thank you…”

 

Hiro: “We’ll look into it. Focus on that…”

 

Hiro points to the US Championship around her waist.

 

Deanna: “Yeah…sorta forgot about it…maybe that’s the point…”

 

Deanna looks around and the scene cuts away.

Backstage, we see Destiny Page standing with SCW’s newest signee, Eavan Maloney.

 

Page: “Welcome back to Breakdown and I’m here with SCW’s newest signee, Eavan ‘Sykobitty’ Maloney. Welcome to SCW. What do you have in store for us starting tonight?”

 

Maloney: “Thank you for that and when I head out there, watch that tron that will play. It never gets bored to me, or any less touching. Those girls on that screen came from nothing and worse, and I helped them on a better path. Back home in Jersey, I run an academy where girls can come train, get rehab, get their GEDs, whatever they need, so they may go back out into their communities and do good in this world, because hell if we don’t need more people like that nowadays.”

Eavan pauses for a moment.

Maloney: “I’m not here to toot my own horn about what I do outside of this business, I’m here to talk about what goes on IN this business, and specifically here. Righteous Wright, oh how I was so SO very wrong about you. I thought you were a little delulu already thumping the book as one does in your position, but to be simping on the World Champ? Dude, you’ve got issues. However, tonight, I come with a solution to those issues and her name is Barbie. And sorry to disappoint you Aussies, but no it ain’t a barbecue. Barbie is a trusted friend, an ally. Forged in iron and wrapped in barbed wire, Barbie likes to get bloody. She loves the feel of flesh tearing from bone. Eyes torn from their sockets and caught in her barbs like little trophies. Should I need to call upon her, she doesn’t miss. She’d love to crack open that big head of yours, as would I. Forgive me, pastor, for I WILL sin.”

 

Page: “What?”

 

Maloney: “See you out there!”

 

Maloney heads off.

 

Page: “Did you hear that?!”

 

Sharper: “Barbie?”

 

Knots: “Oh no…I think I just heard Kim Williams salivating!”

 

Eavan “Sykobitty” Maloney vs. Religious Wright

 

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall.  Introducing first, from The Sword of Joshua Full Gospel Pentecostal Temple of Joy Holiness by way of Mt. Judea, Arknasas, he is RELIGIOUS WRIGHT!

 

“I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe begins to play.  Religious Wright steps out onto the stage wearing a black robe and carrying his Holy Book in his right hand.  Along the way down the aisle he stops by some fans.  He presses his hand to the foreheads of some fans and shouts “BE HEALED IN THE NAME OF THE LAWD!”  Still other fans he throws Holy Water at them and shouts “BE GONE FOUL DEMON FROM THIS SERVANT IN THE NAME OF THE LAWD!” Religious Wright then ascends the steel steps and enters the ring.  He steps to the center of the ring and holds up his Holy Book and shouts “CAN I GET AN AMEN MY BROTHAS AND SISTAS OF THE LAWD?!”

 

Phillips: And his opponent, from New Egypt, New Jersey, “Sykobitty” EAVAN MALONEY!

 

A singular voice and piano fills the arena. On the tron, dozens of hands holding candles can be seen.

 

Cover my ears and close my eyes

Just long enough to stop the noise

Go and take everything and throw it away

But I will use my voice

 

As ‘Use My Voice’ really kicks in with the rest of the band, a band of spotlights move to a point at the entry. Eavan Maloney walks out and looks up at the tron as the second verse plays. 

 

Drown every truth in an ocean of lies

Label me bitch because I dare to draw my own line

Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way

But I will use my voice

 

As the song goes to chorus, on the tron stands all of Eavan's 'girls' from the Krigarakademin singing along to the song, as American Murder Log plays the tune. Eavan turns around and watches, blowing a kiss to the tron before walking to the ring. As she claps hands with fans who engage, she steps through the ropes and continues to watch the tron with a smile on her face like a proud mother.

 

Maloney starts with a dropkick to Wright’s knees doubling him over.  Wright gets up only to get dropped by a bulldog takedown.  Wright again scrambles back to his feet.  Maloney with chop after chop, backing Wright into the ropes.  Maloney goes for a whip but Wright reverses.  Wright with a jumping knee strike.  Wright with a Japanese arm drag and then a slingblade.  Wright waits as Eavan pulls herself up.  He charges but Maloney ducks and sends Wright flying over the top and to the outside.  Maloney measures Religious Wright as he gets back to his feet.  Maloney leaps over the top with a suicide dive onto Wright.

 

Sharper: “Maloney over the top! Right onto Wright.”

 

Knots: “Don’t let her search under the ring! Barbie may be there!”

 

She rolls Wright back into the ring.  She plays to the crowd a little, giving Wright time to recover.  Maloney gets to the apron and Wright is there to meet her…but she catches him with an enziguri.  She gets back into the ring and snaps off Sorsh Shot, the superkick.  She follows that up with The Silencer, double knee face buster.  She covers…

 

1…

 

2…

 

…3NO!

 

Maloney pulls Wright back to his feet but he rakes her eyes.  Wright with a spinning heel kick and then a Full Nelson release suplex.  Wright hooks her and drops her with one German suplex, rolls through, drops her with a second German, rolls through drops her with a third, Holy Roller. Wright goes up top and prepares for the Leap of Faith…but Eavan Maloney rolls out of the way and Wright hits nothing but canvas!

 

Sharper: “Leap of Faith! No one home. Maloney moved!”

 

Knots: “He just hit the ground. No heaven tonight!”

 

Maloney back to her feet and meets Wright with a running front kick.  She muscles him over with a snap suplex.  She floats over into a cover…

 

1…

 

2…

 

…3NO!

 

Maloney measures Wright as he pulls himself up.  She goes for another superkick but Wright avoids it.  Wright goes for Defying Gravity…but he misses!

 

Sharper: “Wright again trying to mimic Selena. He misses again!”

 

Knots: “Why? Why are you doing that…and Maloney…”

 

Sharper: “Taking advantage! Gnat Gnat!”

 

Maloney with a boot to the gut followed by Gnat Gnat, the impaler ddt!  She locks in Tap or Die!  Wright taps out!

 

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, EAVAN MALONEY!

 

Maloney rolls off and gets up. She looks around the arena as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “And she wins her debut in SCW!”

 

Knots: “Thank God no Barbie though!”

 

Maloney smiles as she looks around and then nods as we cut away.

 

“Psycho in my Head” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still for Kandis vs. Kirsten Scott follows.

 

Sharper: “And next, from Sydney, it’s main event time.”

 

Knots: “Already going after each other!”

 

Sharper: “And they’ll meet in the ring. Kandis faces Kirsten Scott next!”

 

The scene fades out.

Kandis vs. “The One” Kirsten Scott

 

The opening of "Whore" by In This Moment fills the arena as red and pink lights swirl around...

{I'm the girl you've been thinking about, The one thing you can't live without
I'm the girl you've been waiting for
I'll have you down on your knees, I'll have you begging for more}

Kandis appears on the stage, a sultry smirk on her face as the crowd cheers. She turns and shows off her notorious rear end, swaying it back and forth...

{I can be, I can be your eve... ry... thing}

The lights dim as the music seems to pause a moment, then Kandis turns around, arms spread and feet wide apart as vocalist Maria Brink shouts:

{I CAN BE YOUR WHORE!}

Kandis starts down the ramp as the rest of the chorus continues, the sway in her hips ever present as she smirks at all the cheers, even blowing sarcastic kisses to the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for tv time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, on her way to the ring, from Santa Barbara, California, she is Kandis!”

{I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner, I am your whore
But let me tell you something, baby
You love me for everything you hate me for}

Kandis goes up the ring steps and enters the ring through the second and top rope slowly, making sure to show off her ass. The heavy music fades out as Kandis goes to her corner.

 

Sharper: “Kandis returning last week from suspension. Tonight, calling out Selena Frost. Fighting with Xander. Kirsten Scott and her have gotten into it.”

 

Knots: “Making up for lost time!”

 

Sharper: “And Kandis has her eyes on the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. Scott does as well!”

 

The arena goes dark and there the crowd begins to buzz wondering who is coming out.  As "Sonne" by Rammstein begins to play, lasers begin to shoot across the arena to the beat, and a spotlight illuminates The Oracle on the entry way, back to the crowd, holding fingers up with the opening count-up.

Eins...
Zwei...
Drei...
Vier...
Fünf...
Sechs...
Sieben...
Acht...
Neun...

As she holds up the ninth finger, the song stops the countdown at its crescendo, and she throws her arms out to the side...

AUS!

Spotlights begin to swirl around the arena as the song continues, and "The One" Kirsten Scott walks out from backstage flanked by Hailey.  The pair end up on both sides of The Oracle, who turns around and spins to the opposite side of Kirsten from Hailey.  Kirsten and her compatriots begin their walk to the ring together with "The One" staring directly at her ultimate location inside the squared circle.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Your Personal Nightmare, is The One, Kirsten Scott!”

As they reach the ring, they walk along to the hard camera side, and Kirsten jumps up onto the ring apron and stands up.  Hailey goes into the ring, directly behind her friend, jumping on the middle rope, and The Oracle stands on the floor directly beneath Kirsten.  Kirsten slowly raises her arm beside her, pointing one index finger in her own direction, while Hailey and The Oracle begin doing the same in Kirsten's direction as well, all signifying her former name, and now nickname, of "The One."

After taking a moment to stare into the hard cam, Kirsten swings her arm out in a "DELETE" motion, before quickly sliding into the open ropes from being stood on by Hailey, and immediately goes to her corner.  Hailey quickly follows, as does The Oracle from the outside.  Both of "The One's" compatriots stand with her, advising her and talking to her, as she awaits the bell ringing to start her match. Scott and Kandis look at each other, eye to eye.

 

Sharper: “Kirsten Scott as focused as always. Scott Reed saying he’ll stay out of this.”

 

Knots: “I’ll believe that. Kirsten Scott told him to bring it. They went at it earlier tonight too.”

 

The bell sounds. Scott then runs at Kandis and nails her with a hard right. Kandis fires back with one of her own. The crowd cheers as the two pick up from earlier. They trade blows in the middle of the ring as Aaron Demitra looks on. Kandis and Scott trade a few more shots before Scott gets the advantage striking Kandis once, twice, three times, knocking her to the ropes. She goes to whip her across the ring, but Kandis spins through. Scott bounces off and Kandis hits the straight kick to the chest. Scott hits the mat and rolls over. Kandis lunges at her and nails her with a hard right and then another, clubbing Scott in the back of the head. Scott rolls to the floor. Kandis rolls under the bottom rope. (1) Scott staggers to the barricade. Kandis nails her with a hard right. (2)

 

Sharper: “Kandis not even giving any respite to Scott.”

 

Knots: “Just right after her and still just beating the hell out of her. Scott was doing the same to her.”

 

Kandis nails Scott again and again and again. (3) She then drags her off, but Scott spins Kandis up and turns and just hits an awkward back suplex into the barricade. (4) They roll away from one another. Kandis starts to get up, holding her head and neck. She turns to Scott who gets up and runs at her and nails her with a hard right. Kandis stumbles back. (5) She nails her again and then drives her face first into the steel steps. (6) Kandis pops back and rolls into the ring. Scott slides in after. Kandis starts to get up and Scott runs at her and clotheslines her down. He then turns and dives onto Kandis, mounting her and hammering away on her. The crowd looks on cheering as Kandis struggles with Scott, yelling at her, and defiantly taking each shot.

 

Sharper: “Scott hammering away and Kandis is taking it!”

 

Knots: “Oh man…Kandis is just fueled by that anger!”

 

Sharper: “And so is Scott!”

 

Scott gets a few more shots in and gets up. She walks around the ring as Kandis rolls over and gets up and Scott kicks her in the ribs and then nails her with a hard right. Kandis falls back into the corner. Scott shoulders her in the ribs once and then again and again before getting up and whipping Kandis whips her across the ring. Scott runs after and Kandis gets a boot up. Scott catches it. She smirks and Kandis does too before leaning back and booting Scott in the face with her free leg. Scott stumbles back. Kandis then steps up and runs at Scott and drills her with a discus clothesline. Scott hits the mat. Kandis turns and hits a jumping leg drop to the face of Scott. She then moves into a pin.

Scott kicks out. She rolls over and Kandis kicks her in the ribs and hits a headbutt. Scott stumbles back into the corner. Kandis then runs at her and jumps up, hitting a running backsplash in the corner.

 

Sharper: “And Kandis just throwing herself into Scott.”

Sharper: “Before Scott even hit the corner, Kandis was committed.”

 

Kandis then scoops Scott up and turns and slams her down. Kandis then stomps Scott in the face. Scott rolls over. Kandis stomps her again. Scott rolls to the ropes. Scott grabs at the ropes and Kandis kicks her in the chest before hitting a shoot kick. The crowd ohs. Scott holds onto the ropes, refusing to go through. Kandis shoot kicks her again.

She bounces off and goes for a running hip check, but Scott pulls herself out of the way. Kandis hits the ropes awkwardly and falls to a knee. She gets up, annoyed, only for Scott to run out and hit the Hidden Blade. The crowd ohs. Scott goes for the pin.

Kandis kicks out.

 

Sharper: “And Scott tried to just blindside Kandis there. Nearly worked.”

 

Knots: “And Kandis probably now rethinking her aggressiveness.”

 

Kandis rolls over and Scott grabs her and hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex.

 

Sharper: “And hot damn! Wrestling holds.”

 

Kandis grimaces in pain and Scott runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hits a sliding dropkick to the side of Kandis’s head. Kandis rolls over and to her hands and knees. Scott gets up and kicks Kandis hard in the ribs. The crowd ohs as Kandis rolls over to the ropes. She takes a few deep breaths and starts to get up. Scott runs over to her and drills her with a hard right and then another and another. She turns and runs across the ring and bounces off and Kandis then lifts her up and hits a huge back drop over the top rope. Scott crashes to the mats below.

 

Sharper: “A huge back drop. Scott landed hard!”

 

Knots: “That thud, I felt it here!”

 

Sharper: “And Scott is certainly feeling it. Now Kandis, to the apron. Not known for high-flying.”

 

Scott slowly gets up. (1) She grabs at the ring skirt, trying to get up as Kandis exits to the apron.

Scott’s leg ends up under the bottom rope as Kandis notices Demitra no longer counting. Demitra points the leg and Kandis get sup and snaps at him.

 

Kandis: “What? Have a problem with me winning?”

 

Sharper: “Kandis thought she had it. Scott’s foot was under the bottom rope! And Kandis thinks Demitra just stopped the count for no reason.”

 

Knots: “And Selena Frost has personally demanded Demitra for her matches. Kandis wasn’t happy there.”

 

Kandis then turns and sees the leg and glances back. Demitra points at it and Kandis then kicks the leg back into the ring before running into the ropes. She bounces off and hits the Gratuitous to the face of Scott as she starts to get up. She then drops down for the pin, hooking the leg.

She then hoists Kandis up and hits a falcon arrow on the mats. (4) The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Falcon arrow right on the floor in front of us!”

 

Knots: “Now that was a thud. All because of gravity versus ass!”

 

Sharper: “The ample posterior getting the brunt of the impact.”

 

Knots: “That may be an annoying bruise. A literal pain in her ass.”

 

Scott rolls over. (5) She grabs Kandis and drags her up and turns and rolls her into the ring. Kandis rolls over and starts to get up to her knees and Scott slides in and gets up and runs at Kandis, drilling her with a running knee to the back of Kandis’s head. Kandis goes down.

Scott runs after her and clotheslines her in the corner.

 

Sharper: “Scott following after Kandis. Hard clothesline.”

 

Knots: “And she’s looking to maybe drop Kandis hard. Remember, she beat her last time they faced!”

 

Scott then kicks Kandis in the ribs and nails her again and again before hoisting her up onto the top rope. She climbs up to the middle rope and grabs Kandis. She hooks her head and her arm, but Kandis then nails her in the ribs once and then again before hoisting Scott up and hitting a sitout spinebuster off the middle turnbuckle. Demitra falls back, dodging the move, but also tripping over himself. This makes him briefly out of position. Demitra turns and counts.

Scott shoots her shoulder up. Kandis looks up and looks at Demitra.

 

Kandis: “The hell is your problem?”

 

Kandis gets up as Scott rolls over. She stirs and Kandis hits a jumping bicycle kick, knocking her down. Kandis then turns to Demitra and points in his face, berating him. Demitra again affirms the two.

 

Sharper: “Kandis knocking down Scott first, at least.”

 

Knots: “Giving her the opportunity to berate Demitra. Demitra just tripped over his feet. IT happens. But the link with Selena…”

 

Sharper: “That links colouring everything he does. And Demitra is as honest as they come!”

 

Knots: “Kandis doesn’t care!”

 

Kandis then turns back to Scott and stomps her before snapping at Demitra.

 

Kandis: “Start your count asshole!”

 

Kandis stomps Scott again before the crowd erupts in boos. Kandis then turns to stomp Scott again, but Scott blocks it and shoves her back. Selena Frost, however, has run down from the back, brandishing her World Championship. She slides into the ring and gets up and runs at Kandis and nails her with the World Title. The crowd ohs and boos loudly. Demitra calls for the bell. Selena Frost looks at Kandis as Kandis rolls over, holding her face in pain. Scott starts to get up as Selena keeps watching Kandis only to look up at the big screen. She turns and nails Scott with  the World Title. Scott goes down. The crowd boos loudly again. Selena then looks at her and shakes her head. The crowd boos Selena before Selena turns back and stomps Kandis in the face. She stomps her again before we see Xander Valentine storm out from the back.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost nailing Kandis. That’s the DQ! Demitra quick to call that.”

 

Knots: “The bell’s still going. I thought Selena didn’t care!”

 

Sharper: “Looks like she does. And more so taking issue with Kandis! Scott may be collateral damage.”

 

Knots: “And here comes Xander!”

 

Sharper: “Xander! Be careful! You can’t touch her!”

 

Xander runs down to the ring and grabs the top rope as Selena stomps Kandis a few more time. Xander then pulls himself onto the apron and steps into the ring. Selena stomps Kandis again before Demitra tries to stop her. Xander walks over and Demitra then turns and stops Xander as Selena backs up. She then looks at Xander as Xander keeps his eyes on Selena.

 

Sharper: “Selena knows Xander is there. Demitra right now between them!”

 

Knots: “Save her or saving him?!”

 

Xander Valentine watches Selena as Selena then motions to him to hit her.

 

Selena: “Hit me and it’s gone! You’re as good as them. The past! They failed! Just like you will on way or another. Maybe save yourself the humiliation Xander. Nothing has changed!”

 

Xander just looks at Selena and then Kandis and Scott before glancing back at her. Selena then extends her arms as the scene slowly fades to black…
