We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

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

MAIN SHOW:

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Giovanni Aries hitting Selena Frost and Ravyn Taylor with the Down the Rabbit Hole and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on an opponent before showing Syren nailing Josh Hudson with a steel chair.

"They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams"

We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber.

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne running and attacking Regan Street in the ring.

"Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,
immor immortals
Immortals"

We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking down at herself, while posing in the corner before showing Har Megiddo in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and Kennedy Street hitting Syren with the Touch of Class is shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping an opponent with the CATastrophe before showing Bree Lancaster nailing Marie Jones with the Classifier, followed by a shot of Blake Mason hitting the Blake Mason Experience on Thirteen before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene opens up with a shot of the outside of the O2 Arena in London, England. The camera cuts to show fans filing into the building going through the turnstiles before cutting to show fans chanting in the concourse and then a shot of the inside of the arena.

Spirit: “Last week Breakdown came to you live from Australia. Tonight, from London, England!”

The scene changes to the inside of the SCW Studios where Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters are at the desk.

Spirit: “But first, let us welcome you inside the SCW Studios in Toronto. Spirit Dansby here, with Shawn Winters as usual. Last week, a night where the partnership between the Beauty Factory, Bree Lancaster and the Network reformed and re-established. Tonight, Beauty Factory not there. Network seemed to be on the Southern Hemisphere Tour.”

Winters: “But where was Xander Valentine. After weeks where he was the lynchpin to the Network proving their value, he wasn’t there last week.”

Spirit: “Not an SCW employee, but maybe it was a way to show how flexible they are. No Max Kane. This means a lot of options for potential clients.”

Winters: “Clients that may just be the Beauty Factory and Bree. They’ve been talking about the Beauty Network and crap like that. I don’t know what to think.”

Spirit: “Not crap…but, last week, we heard Cassidy Carter insult Sienna Swann. Tonight, she may pay for it. She faces Ikiro Yoshida here tonight.”

Winters: “Sienna even contacting Ikiro last week. We’ll see what it all means for Cassidy who is without Ace Marshall. Along with that, a number of huge matches tonight. The cage match between Donovan Kayl and Damian Angel. It ends there tonight. They wanted it. They got it. No Har Megiddo.”

Spirit: “No questions on this one. We’ll also see Konrad Raab defend his TV title in his home continent. Syren will face Christy Matthews. Regan Street and Alexis Quinne will clash and they always have a hell of a match when they face. All that and much more. We don’t have time to waste. We’ve got something that should be a hell of a start. It’s next and Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots have the call. They’re at ringside. Take it away!”

The scene then fades into a shot of the inside of the O2 Arena in London, England. The cameras pan across the crowd before cutting to show the steel cage hanging over the ring. The crowd cheers as we hear the voice of Adam Sharper at ringside.

Sharper: “Thank you Spirit, Shawn. Adam Sharper here at ringside with Jonathan Knots. Huge night tonight and we’re not wasting any time!”

Blake Mason, Chris Cannon & Owen Cruze vs. Jake Starr, Tommy Valentine & Katie Steward

The arena is plunged into complete darkness and the fans begin to buzz with anticipation as the screens start to strobe and the cheers begin to roll out automatically as an air raid siren then starts to sound before a robotic voice begins to speak; the words appearing on the screens at the same time.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL...

I REPEAT... THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

THIS...

IS...

THE RESURGENCE!!

As the last words are spoken, the strobing lights stop and the arena goes dark again before the screens light up once more.

THIS IS THE RESURGENCE!!!

A montage of clips showing both men hitting various moves - including Valentine's 'Grievers Bane' and Starr's 'Shooting Five Starr' - fills the screen as "We Are One" by 12 Stones begins to blast over the speakers and the crowd roar as the curtains part and both Thomas Valentine and Jake Starr both walk out onto the stage to another resounding chorus of cheer's from the crowd. Both men come to a stop at the top of the ramp, soaking in the cheers from the crowd, who are cheering loudly for the two members of The Resurgence at this point. Thomas Valentine smirks as he crosses his hands over his chest so his hands are almost touching his shoulders before flinging them apart, making beckoning movements with his hands, fireworks erupting from the stage with each gesture. Valentine then looks at Starr who shrugs and then holds his fist up in the air and looks around as even more fireworks shoot from the stage.

Phillips: “The opening contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on their way to the ring, they are Thomas Valentine and Jake Starr, the Resurgence!”

After once again looking at one another, they both smirk and make their way to the ring, slapping palms and nodding to the fans as they go. Once they reach the ring, they slide in and immediately go to opposite turnbuckles and climb them, Jake going first as he once again holds his fist up, the Universal sign of the Social Misfit as the crowds cheers increase in volume before Jake looks across at Thomas who crosses his hands across his chest again before shrugging and holding his own fist in the air, mirroring his tag team partner and friend. They both hold the pose before jumping down and switching corners, repeating the process which gets another chorus of cheers from the crowd as their music fades. Laughing, the pair high five before standing side by side and waiting for the start of the match.

Sharper: “Should be a treat in what we’re seeing tonight. A group of competitors able to not worry about looking over their shoulder.”

Knots: “No Bianca for Katie. No Sienna for Blake. Cassidy is here. So there is that. Ikiro could come after Cannon, but I assume he’ll be focused on Cassidy! So that takes care of that!”

Baby I'm coming, better ready yourself
Be looking for me 'cause I'm the real thing

“The Real Thing” plays throughout the arena as Katie video plays on the screen. The crowd jumps to their feet cheering. After a few moments Katie walks out on the stage wearing her glorious white and gold ring robe. She slowly walks across the stage to the ramp with TJ Johnson in toe.

Phillips: “Their partner, accompanied by TJ Johnson, she is the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

Katie stands at the top of the stage and does her pose for the crowd. After a few seconds of the sending her their love she continues her way down the entrance way. TJ runs head and jumps on the apron. Katie walks around ringside and steps up the ring steps onto the apron and enters the ring while TJ holds the ropes for her. She walks to the middle of the ring and undoes her belt taking off her robe for the crowd. She hands her robe off to TJ and poses for the crowd in her stylish ring gear for a second before she gets into her mind set for her match.

Sharper: “Katie looks a bit more relaxed. One thing to note. We’ve got three former World Champions in this team. First time they’re teaming.”

Knots: “Yeah, but against three potential future world champions.”

“The Memory Remains” by Metallica starts to play. Blake Mason simply walks through the curtain. He pauses momentarily at the top of the ramp.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”

Not reacting to the reaction the crowd is giving him, Blake heads to the ring. Reaching the steel steps, he walks up them, on to the apron, steps into the ring. Without the normal theatrics that have defined him over the past few year, Blake opts to lean against the turnbuckle, the expression on his face, stoic. He remains there until the match starts.

Sharper: “Blake Mason needs to start thinking about finding that next gear. Big matches coming up and this could be a fine test.”

Knots: “If he focuses on his facing former champions. If he’s focusing on the fact that he’s teaming with two people who he’s injured before.”

Sharper: “He’s on better terms and allowed Owen to get some measure of closure. That offer to Chris too. Chris focusing on getting back to his old self.”

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

Phillips: “Next, from Newquay, England, by way of Los Angeles, he is Owen Cruze!”

"It's Showtime!"

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

"It's Showtime!"

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

Knots: “At least he doesn’t need to worry about Giovanni Aries being completely batcrap crazy!”

Sharper: “That’s true. But it’s another big match for this young kid. This is where he can make his name.”

The big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken, the only image we see is that of a glistening perfect world logo. We then hear a woman’s voice that sounds a lot like Kelcey Wallace over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

The opening guitar to “Prometheus” by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him.

Phillips: “Finally, from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, California, he is Chris Cannon!”

The crowd cheers loudly for the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon then slides into the ring and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and then raises his arm above his head holding a fist as the crowd’s cheering continues. He turns to Blake and Owen. Cannon checks in with Owen first, before Blake and Chris have a bit more of a tense, but respectful exchange.

Sharper: “Chris knows Owen well and obviously Blake. A bit tense.”

Knots: “At least he didn’t sock him.”

Sharper: “I doubt that was on his mind right now. This could be an interesting one.”

The bell sounds as Owen starts off for his team. Tommy starts for his team. The crowd roars as Owen and Tommy look at each other. The two circle and move into one another, locking up with a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Tommy turns and wrenches the arm. Owen winces. Tommy then grabs at the ropes and jerks on it. Owen falls to a knee before getting up and Tommy wrenches it again. Owen then flips forward and nips up and cartwheels before moving into a side headlock. Tommy reaches around as Owen pulls back. Tommy gets Owen into the ropes and fires him into the ropes. Tommy bounces off and Owen is shouldered down. Tommy turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Owen rolls towards him. Tommy hops over. He bounces off the other side and Owen leapfrogs over. Tommy ducks and bounces off the other side and Owen goes for a clothesline. Tommy ducks and both run into the ropes, but Owen jumps to the middle rope and hits a torneo into Tommy. Tommy hits the mat and Owen rolls through and Tommy rolls over to the ropes. Owen looks at it. Tommy just smiles before turning and tagging in Jake. Jake enters the ring as the crowd roars. Owen turns tagging in Blake.

Sharper: “Owen showing his quickness there. A bit of a nod, but now Jake and Blake in.”

Knots: “Got the taste. Tommy filed it away. Now we get two fresh faces.”

Blake and Jake circle the ring and Jake suddenly turns and runs into the ropes. Blake goes for a clothesline. Jake slides under. He gets up and Blake turns and Jake hits a dropkick.

Blake goes to lift him up, but Starr goes for a sunset flip, but Tommy springboards to the top rope and hits a front dropkick. The crowd ohs and Blake falls back. Jake rolls back and over.

Sharper: “Tommy with the dropkick. Hard dropkick to the jaw. Into a sunset flip. No cover, but a note to make there.”

Knots: “Some craftiness from the experienced ones.”

Jake turns and exits the ring. Tommy walks over and grabs Blake and forearms him in the jaw and then kicks him in the ribs. He fires Blake into the ropes.

Sharper: “Nearfall out of the Cruze Missile. But only two.”

Knots: “And now in the corner!”

Sharper: “Well Katie and Chris still not in this match officially.”

The crowd roars as he holds him. The crowd counts with him. 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! But as six is about to come up, Jake runs in and kicks him in the ribs. Chris grimaces and drops Tommy over. Starr then kicks Chris again and the two grab onto Chris. Just then, Owen enters the ring and runs over and nails Starr in the ribs. He starts to hook up Starr before Katie grits her teeth and she runs over and kicks Owen in the ribs. Blake then enters and runs over and kicks Katie in the ribs. The crowd roars as Blake hooks up Katie before then push forward a bit before hoisting them up and hit a triple vertical suplex. The crowd erupts in cheers as Tommy rolls over and Katie rolls out of the ring. Jake rolls over as the referee tries to get people out of the ring, starting to Blake.

Sharper: “Triple suplex! My God!”

Knots: “Blake, Chris and Owen working together well enough to suplex the Resurgence and Katie!”

Blake starts to get forced out as Chris turns and goes over to Tommy. He then pulls him up and hoists him up onto his shoulders, but Tommy elbows him in the side of the head and then again.

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Starr with a crossbody off the apron. Takes down Blake and right into Chris Cannon and Tommy Valentine!”

Knots: “Starr may be getting up there in years, but he can still fly with some of the best of them!”

Sharper: “Owen, no longer encumbered by the official, he’s going to test that!”

Starr, Blake, Chris and Tommy all start to stir in the entrance way as the crowd starts to roar. The referee checks on them from the ring as Owen Cruze looks around the ring. He then smiles as everyone stands up.

The crowd roars as Katie gets to the top and Owen, Chris, Tommy, Jake & Blake get up and Katie dives off with a praying moonsault onto the pile. The crowd erupts in cheers.

She drags him up and gets him to the ring. She then rolls him into the ring. Katie gets up onto apron and spins around the ringpost before going to her corner, extending her arm.

Sharper: “The backslide driver! Owen hooking Tommy quickly and taking him down faster. His head hitting the mat and dazing him long enough.”

Knots: “Showing the speed in a different way and this time, the impact, getting the win!”

Sharper: “Enough to keep him down and you can see the look of shock on Tommy Valentine’s face.”

TJ and her head around as Owen gets up and Blake steps in and raises his arm. He turns to Chris. Chris walks over and Chris has his arm raised by Blake. The three look around as “It’s Showtime” plays throughout the arena. Tommy and Jake head around the ring and going to the entrance way before heading to the back. The camera focuses on them before Tommy sees something and then pulls Starr back as we cut to the ring to see Owen turning around and Xander Valentine in the ring, having come from the crowd. He turns and shoves Owen back hard into Chris, knocking Chris back and out of the ring. Xander then turns and hits a hip throw on Owen into Blake.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine! Valentine from the crowd! And going after Owen, Chris and Blake!”

Sharper: “Xander focusing on Blake Mason! Clearly targeting a potential World Title challenger!”

Knots: “Blake’s fading. He tried to fight, but Xander’s reminding him why he’s so dangerous. Fade to Black is coming hard!”

Chris starts to get up as we see Tommy and Jake head to the back as Katie looks on as Owen then climbs to the apron and then springboards to the top rope before hitting a diving dropkick to Xander. Xander lets go and falls over and through the ropes to the floor. Chris then runs around the ring, hopping off the steel steps and nailing Xander with a diving spear. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “But message sent! Sienna or at least the Beauty Factory have their eyes on Blake Mason too! Not just Cassidy!”

The crowd roars as Chris, Blake and Owen stand in the ring. Officials head around the ring and Xander turns to the ring, but is forced back. The crowd continues to roar before the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open back up in the ring to see Blake Mason walking around the ring. He has a microphone in his hand as Chris Cannon leans on the ropes. He steps off and walks around. Owen Cruze leans in the corner.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. You see Blake Mason, Chris Cannon and Owen Cruze after being attacked by Xander Valentine.”

Blake Mason looks around before turning to the crowd.

Blake: “So this is how we’re going to do things? Look, I get that I have no proof for what I’m about to say, but it’s not that hard for me to connect a few dots. Right Sienna? Even if it wasn’t you, I can’t see London, Paris or Laura doing this. I just hope it’s not Bree. But here we are. After all the talk about the Beauty Network, you just continue to show every night that you are not a champion. You, just like London or Paris, would rather protect what you believe yourself to be instead of prove it. You’re the IronAngel, you’re the real Perfect Ten? Please….You had a good run to start the year. You’re good in this ring. You don’t need that and you rely on it. But this is what you are. For all the years you wanted respect, there’s no chance for it. And I can’t wait until I face Cassidy Carter at Bound by Blood. I hope you get through Josh Hudson too. Because Sienna…if I beat you, at least I can confidently say that SCW will have a champion this roster and these fans can respect.”

Blake brings the microphone down as he turns back to Owen and Chris. Owen just turns it down, but Chris takes it. Blake hands it to him as Chris steps forward. The crowd roars as Chris paces a bit, looking down at the mat before leaning on the ropes and looking out at the crowd, bringing the microphone to his mouth.

Chris: “Don’t think I didn’t notice something here. The fact that Xander Valentine didn’t put his hands on me. The fact that you still are aiming for something you’ll never get Sienna.”

Chris pauses for a moment.

Chris: “I love my wife Kelcey. That is never going to change. So Sienna, all you’ve accomplished here is prove to me that you will never be good enough for me. And it reminded me that even if I may care for you, as we go back a long time…I may have to talk to some other people I’ve known a lot time too. Because what happened here….it’s not going to be the norm!”

Chris brings the microphone down before putting it down. “Prometheus” by Audio Machine plays. The crowd cheers as Chris turns and steps through the ropes. Owen does too as Blake is the last to leave.

Sharper: “Blake, Owen…well, not Chris, but targeted by an attack by Xander Valentine. The Network operating on both tours.”

Knots: “Shows the trust they have in Xander in short order.”

Sharper: “But not just that, Blake, Chris…they’ve got their eyes on Sienna, on the Beauty Factory in different ways, and both have a clear message. Blake is as motivated as ever to move on to a World Title shot and he could have one after Bound for Blood.”

Knots: “And Chris, he’s not buying whatever may be sold!”

Chris, Owen and Blake start to head to the back. The camera focuses on them as they head up the rampway before we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage to see Katya, Mr. D’s youngest daughter, arriving at the building. The crowd roars seeing her as she walks past security and continues on her way before walking over to Mr. D and giving him a hug.

Mr. D: “Save travel?”

Katya: “Of course. Nothing out of the ordinary.”

Mr. D: “Good. Glad you could make it?”

Katya: “I wasn’t going to miss this. Not happy I could make it to Australia, but this week works. No essays, so I can get away.”

Mr. D: “Well you can enjoy some of this time in London before we leave. Come on.”

Katya smiles as she walks with her father off camera. The scene cuts away after a few moments.

We see Owen Cruze, Blake Mason and Chris Cannon walk out of the tunnel. They take a few steps before a woman runs up to Owen. Owen stops her and Blake and Chris too.

Owen: “Sam…really?!”

Sam: “You need to listen to me, Owen! You need to!”

Owen sighs.

Blake: “You need-“

Owen: “Blake, Chris, thanks. I got this.”

Blake and Chris back up and head off as Owen turns to Sam.

Owen: “What? Is it another message from Gio? I get he can’t see me tonight since he’s in South Africa probably having Selena kick his ass.”

Sam: “And he’s going to keep on that fight until he realizes, but for you, it’s not too late. The inexperienced, they’re the one’s most likely to fall to his thrall. He promises them the world only to be sucked into his!”

Owen: “Stop with this! Mr. D’s been nothing but great to me and gave me an opportunity. And you know what…I think I want another opportunity.”

Sam: “No…no…it’s trick!”

Owen: “You go tell Giovanni when you next see him, I want him at Bound by Blood and I’m going to knock some sense into him. Looks like he’s been spending too much time out in the sun or in the desert and its rotted his and your brain!”

Owen turns and walks off. Sam just looks around.

Sam: “How can I get him to understand…he’s trying to help you Owen! He’s trying to help you!”

Owen just holds his hand up, waving goodbye as the scene fades to black.

Slayter McKinney vs. Scarlet Grey

The opening salvo of struck and sustained notes of “What Can I Do if the Fire Goes Out” by Gang Of Youths kicks in, the lights flash on and off in time. Slayter McKinney comes out with an arm raised, her back to the crowd, nodding her head in time with the struck notes and drum slams before the uptempo drums kick in and she makes her way down the ramp, with a hop in each energetic step, slapping hands with the fans before rolling up on to the ring apron on her knees, gripping the rope and climbing to her feet and doing a quick, on-beat turn to the crowd before stepping in under the middle rope and climbing to the corner turnbuckle for one last pop from the crowd before leaping down, warming up and preparing in her corner for her opponent.

Sharper: “Slayter McKinney has been touted by many as a great addition to the SCW roster and she’s been impressive even after an eight year break from the sport, but she’s seemed to hit a few snags as of late.”

Knots: “She’s been taking a big step up in competition and maybe she’s been trying that too soon, but she made it clear she wants to reach the top however she can.”

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

Sharper: “This young lady, meanwhile, has her priorities elsewhere, and she and Ruby Amarant have been trying to make life a living hell for Aaron Blackbourne and his girlfriend until she gets him all for herself.”

Knots: “Last week Ruby warned Aaron that with the Red Empire split up by this tour, Scarlet had nobody to restrain her. This could either go really good or really bad for Slayter depending on how this plays out.”

The referee signals for the bell and both ladies move to meet in the middle. Slayter goes to lock up, but Scarlet catches her with a knee to the gut and starts clubbing her across the back, driving her down to her knees. Scarlet pulls Slayter up to her feet and connects with a forearm to the face, but Slayter surprises her with a judo throw! She takes a moment to try and recompose herself before she grabs one of Scarlet’s arms with a submission in mind, but Scarlet drives her forearm into the back of Slayter’s knee! Slayter lets go and tries to get some distance to shake this off, but as she moves into a corner she finds herself the victim of a leaping splash from Scarlet! This causes her to drop to a seated position and Scarlet wastes no time running into the opposite corner and bouncing off the turnbuckles before smashing Slayter with a running hip attack!

Sharper: “I don’t think this is how many of us thought this match would kick off. Slayter almost seems like she’s struggling a bit.”

Knots: “Probably because Scarlet’s been a bit more aggressive than showy like she usually is so far. Ruby did warn everyone last week!”

Despite that, Scarlet can’t resist bending over and shaking her ass a bit for the fans before giving it a playful smack, which draws a few cheers from the men. Slayter pulls herself to her feet with a glare towards her opponent, but the moment they lock eyes Scarlet suddenly rushes in again and smothers Slayter with a barrage of forearm strikes. The referee warns Scarlet to back off, but when she doesn’t listen he tries to pull her away. She glances at him, but before we can see where this leads Slayter fires out of the corner and catches her with a headscissors takedown! The fans pop as Scarlet rolls away to try and create space while Slayter runs a hand through her hair and exhales heavily in what resembles frustration. Scarlet gets up looking annoyed before charging at Slayter and throwing a big boot, but Slayter ducks and sweeps Scarlet’s other leg causing her to land in a split on the mat, which is immediately followed by a basement dropkick to the side of the head that puts Scarlet completely down!

Sharper: “Scarlet perhaps getting a little too aggressive there and now Slayter’s firing on all cylinders.”

Knots: “I wouldn’t know myself, but it just seems like it pays off to weather the early storm from someone not entirely all there.”

Slayter moves to grab Scarlet’s arm and locks in a crucifix armbar, trying to rip Scarlet’s arm right off. The referee checks with Scarlet but she screams her refusal to submit. She stretches her legs out for the ropes but she’s not close enough, so instead she swings her leg with enough momentum to roll her body into a schoolgirl-esque pin on Slayter!

1…

2…

Slayter releases the armbar and kicks out! She looks a little stunned for a moment, but manages to duck a clothesline attempt from Scarlet and takes her over with a full nelson suplex! Scarlet rolls through the impact to immediately end up back on her feet, but she stumbles back against the ropes as they manage to keep her upright. She slowly moves forward to eat a kick to the gut from Slayter before he starts hooking her for a fisherman suplex, but Scarlet reverses it into an inside cradle!

1…

2…

Slayter kicks out! She gets back to her feet shaking her head, but the next thing she knows she turns into a kick to the gut before Scarlet drops her with a sitout facebuster!

Knots: “Is it me, or does Slayter seem like she’s beating herself up for almost getting caught twice in a short amount of time?”

Sharper: “Slayter’s admitted she wants to be a future star of this company, and even Selena Frost went on record to call her such. She might be putting too much pressure on herself to live up to that.”

Scarlet shakes her arm out as she gives an annoyed glare at Slayter, who’s trying to make it back to her feet. She sneaks up behind her and proceeds to drop her with a falling inverted DDT, but again goes back to her arm instead of following up. She mouths something to herself as she shakes some feeling back into her arm before lifting her back to her feet, a smirk suddenly gracing her lips as she takes Slayter over with a fisherman suplex of her own, complete with a bridge!

1…

2…

Slayter kicks out! Scarlet shakes her arm out a bit more as Slayter starts to get back to her feet, the frustration very evident on her face. As she turns around Scarlet wraps her arms around her, and Slayter’s eyes go wide as Scarlet plants a deep kiss on her! She starts rubbing their chests together and her hands even drift down to caress Slayter’s ass, but the moment she switches gears and tries to actually hit the Hug and a Kiss she leaves herself open for Slayter to violently whip her to the mat with another judo throw! The fans are roaring as Slayter is in complete disbelief before running her arm across her lips, and as she sees Scarlet rising with a grin, the camera faintly picking up her saying that she ‘bets Aaron’s a better kiss,’ Slayter unloads on her with a flurry of bionic elbows! She breaks off and bounces off the ropes only to run into a big boot from Scarlet… but she rebounds off the ropes and nearly takes Scarlet’s head off with a nasty spin kick!

Sharper: “Slayter not taking very well to Scarlet’s antics, and I don’t blame her!”

Knots: “Well it certainly woke her up! But did you catch what Scarlet said? She probably imagined herself kissing Aaron Blackbourne there!”

Scarlet tries to get back to her feet but she’s having some difficulty, and Slayter doesn’t let her make it all the way before putting her down with a scissors kick! She looks out at the roaring fans and smiles before she hooks Scarlet’s arms for a tiger suplex, but Scarlet tries to resist being pulled back to her feet. Slayter gets her up just enough but Scarlet continues trying to be dead weight, so instead she abandons this and tries to end this with The Slayer! As her feet leave the mat, though, Scarlet suddenly drops and uses Slayter's momentum to catch her in an O’Connor roll!

1…

2…

3!

The bell rings and “Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix)” hits the speakers as Slayter kicks out just a little too late and Scarlet rolls out of the ring, laughing about the win she just scored as Slayter stares at her in disbelief.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… SCARLET GREY!”

Sharper: “It looked like Slayter had the match in hand, but she might’ve gotten a bit overconfident near the end and Scarlet found a way to steal this one!”

Slayter just puts her hands on her head in frustration before the camera follows Scarlet up the ramp as she happily smiles into it, flat out asking for Aaron Blackbourne and if he liked what he saw, claiming it’ll soon be his “destiny.”

Backstage we see Hana Ito in the locker room of Cassidy Carter. Carter smirks as she leans back.

Cassidy: “What? Wanted me out there? Screw that. I’m getting ready to get humble. Right?!”

Hana: “Well I wanted to get some words from you for tonight’s match.”

Cassidy: “Want a few words? Here…I’ll help…Ikiro is going to find out that being Sienna’s bitch isn’t going to end well!”

The crowd roars.

Cassidy: “Now Ikiro may have proven himself in that ring, but let’s just remember something…I was in the last two of the battle royal to crown a number one contender. I beat a lot of good people to get there. And Ikiro can now be part of that list. Look, I’ve won titles around and I’m sick of waiting. I get bored easily, just like Sienna is boring…easily. But that’s fine. Last week, she did the obvious and tonight, I do the obvious…I piss her off by kicking Ikiro’s ass and I’m going to love doing it. Then I’m going to show everyone that Blake Mason Experience is not whatever it’s made up to be. And then please…please let it be Sienna…I’ll enjoy that and becoming the new World Champion.”

Cassidy smirks as she pauses.

Cassidy: “Work for words?”

Hana: “Yes…thanks.”

Hana backs up and heads off as Cassidy Carter turns and goes back to whatever she was doing as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Mr. D is backstage with his daughter in their office. Mr. D looks at his phone and sighs.

Mr. D: “Well, that’s going to make him upset. Not the answer he was looking for.”

Katya: “What’s that?”

Mr. D: “Rachel…we can’t clear her. So Rachel Foxx won’t be facing Justin Davis. I’ll have to deal with that when we’re at Breakdown next week.”

Katya: “With the two tours, this is…different.”

Mr. D: “Different, but leads to opportunity. Although some people take other liberties.”

Just then we hear a knock at the door. Mr. D turns as Katya does as well. Scarlet Grey stands at the doorway.

Mr. D: “And sometimes people can have time to think and well, I wish someone else had. I was waiting for you to come Scarlet.”

Scarlet steps in and looks at Katya.

Scarlet: “She’s cute….but I have my mind on someone else.”

Mr. D: “I know and we’ve been telling you that you need to back off or nights like tonight would be normal. You separated from Ruby.”

Scarlet: “That’s not something you’d want, but that’s also not quite what I’ve heard…I’ve heard that a little birdie has been in touch with you.”

Scarlet leans in toward Mr. D and smiles in his face. Mr. D steps back as Katya just looks stunned at Scarlet’s forwardness.

Mr. D: “I did hear from Aaron…and more specifically his girlfriend, Liane.”

Scarlet: “And what did she say? Did they agree to what Ruby offered?”

Mr. D: “I’m going to regret this. She did. She agreed to any match you wanted. She wanted this done.”

Scarlet smiles and gets excited, stepping back and clapping her hands before looking up.

Scarlet: “Oh it’s going to be done.”

Mr. D: “I have a feeling you’ve already thought about what you want.”

Scarlet: “Exactly what I want…I want one date with Aaron Blackbourne. I just him to give me a chance. SCW cameras can even be there for most of it to make sure I behave…but that can be prize. Because I want to face his little girlfriend and prove that I am a better woman than she is. Tell her to get a bikini. Let’s get her comfortable with showing it off.”

Mr. D: “Scarlet, that’s not what we-“

Katya: “Dad…you want this taken care of. Look at her…”

Scarlet smirks as she folds her arms, intentionally drawing attention to her chest. Mr. D sighs.

Katya: “It’ll change things up. Be something different. You’ve already told me that you try to make it so SCW has something for everyone.”

Mr. D: “This is not what I meant….I…”

Mr. D nods.

Mr. D: “If she agrees to that, then I’ll allow it. I’m not going to let you con her into something like that.”

Scarlet: “Then fine…you offer her this. She faces me in a bikini contest at Bound by Blood. She wins, if these fans would ever see that, I’ll accept it and walk away. If she loses, I get my date. But if she turns down the match, she said anything…then I get the date regardless. I just wanted a chance.”

Scarlet turns and walks off as Mr. D shakes his head. Katya heads over to him.

Katya: “I know there’s a thing about it, but I don’t think settling it in the ring will help anyone in this case.”

We then cut away.

Bree Lancaster vs. Angelica Jones

The lights dim as the horns of “I’m Worth It” by Fifth Harmony echo throughout the arena. The crowd starts to boo as white spotlights circle the arena then focus on the stage, dancing in time to the music. A few moments pass before we see Bree Lancaster walk out from the back, holding her US and Tag Team Championship belts. Scott Burnside walks out with her, holding his SCW Tag Team Championship belt, and the two look around, Scott standing a few steps behind her. Bree Lancaster extends her arms and looks up as white sparks start to fall behind her from the top of the set to the stage.

{Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it}

Bree then starts down the ramp as the chorus continues, her free hand on the silver silk belt holding her robe shut. Scott follows a few steps behind as two crossing spotlights follow Bree's progress.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside, one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions and the SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!”

The music continues as Bree gets to the ring. She stops at the steps to pose a second as Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows up the steps as Scott then holds the ropes open for Bree to step through. She then does a little circle in the ring, showing off a bit, before stopping in the middle of the ring. Bree tugs on the silver belt, and the robe falls open revealing her pure white and silver trimmed outfit. She then pulls the robe off, swishing it around and tossing it at Scott as he stands near the corner on the apron. Bree then raises her arms overhead in a flourish, then walks another small circle, glaring at fans in the front row who are booing her. Scott goes down the steps to the floor as Bree's music fades and the lights return to normal. Bree hands her titles to Scott for safekeeping.

Sharper: “Last week we saw Bree’s attempts at training and it looks like the nerves are getting to Scott Burnside.”

Knots: “I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. He hopped on the apron. He got involved and Bree put him there!”

The lights dim to a crimson red color throughout the arena. A high pitched female voice can be heard over the PA speakers…

"I Lost My Miiiiiiind..."

The image of a red dragon appears on the Tron. The dragon is engulfed in flames as it is replaced by a phoenix. Then that too goes up in flames as it is replaced by an image of Angelica Jones. The big screen shows images of Angelica Jones delivering the Hot Shot and the Divine Impact to opponents in an SCW ring. Angelica then steps out onto the stage. She is dressed in all black, from head to toe, and that includes a black trenchcoat. Her long hair hangs down to shoulder length. James Evans walks out with her.

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by James Evans, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is Angelica Jones!”

Angelica stares menacingly, sadistically down at the ring, pausing before finally beginning to make the long walk to the ring. Once at ringside she takes a sharp turn to the right and then ascends the steel steps, making her way up to the ring apron. She strolls slowly to the center before turning towards the audience. She looks out intensely at the crowd before posing with both arms raised high into the air. Angelica steps into the ring and then steps over to the opposite side of the ring where she poses on the second rope. She then jumps off and heads to the center where the music dies down and the lights come back up. She stands, waiting for the match to begin as James Evans settles in her corner.

Sharper: “Challengers and champions about to face off in a singles match. Angelica Jones to face Bree Lancaster here and with James and Scott in their respective corners, this could be an interesting contest.”

Knots: “Maybe Scott will have a nervous breakdown here.”

The bell sounds and Angelica and Bree circle the ring. Angelica smirks as she lunges at Bree and the two lock-up. They push back on one another before Angelica wrenches Bree’s arm and jerks on it. She then forearms her in the jaw. She pushes her back into the ropes and fires her off. Bree bounces off the other side and Angelica geos for a hip toss. Bree blocks it and then nails Angelica in the ribs. She hip tosses her over. She then jaws at Angelica as Angelica gets up and turns and smacks Bree. The crowd ohs and Bree turns back. She then lunges at Angelica and goes for a hard right, but Angelica ducks and kicks her in the ribs before running her into the corner. Angelica kicks her in the ribs and then again and again. She grabs Bree and whips her across the ring.

Sharper: “Angelica showing just like two weeks ago, she knows how to get under the skin of who she wants!”

Knots: “Scott two weeks ago. Tonight, Bree and her Ambitchions.”

Bree stumbles out and Angelica lifts her up and hits a back drop. She turns and goes for the pin.

Bree kicks out and rolls out of the ring. She moves back as Scott heads over to her. James walks around and watches and Bree snaps at him to get back. (1) Scott pulls her away and tries to calm Bree down before Angelica turns and runs across the ring. (2) She bounces off and Scott yells out and Bree turns and dives out of the way as Scott does in the opposite direction. (3) Angelica stops herself by flipping over the ropes, but hooking her arms, landing on the apron. She smirks as the crowd cheers. Bree turns to her and Angelica kicks her in the face. She hits the mats. Angelica drops down to the floor. (1) She pulls Bree up and rolls her into the ring. She slides in after. Bree starts to get up and Angelica dropkicks her down. She follows up with the pin.

Sharper: “Angelica dropkicks Bree down, reintroducing her to the ring canvas.”

Knots: “Right into a pin. Come on Scott. Try and break it up. Pretend it’s a tag match!”

Angelica hooks the leg.

Bree kicks out. Angelica gets up and Bree turns and pulls herself up and falls into the ropes. Angelica walks over and forearms her. She then fires her off. Bree bounces off the other side and Angelica goes for a back chop. Bree ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a diving forearm smash. She rolls over and Angelica starts to get up, but Bree quickly hits her with a low dropkick to the head. Angelica rolls to her back and Bree goes for the pin.

Angelica kicks out. Both women get up and Bree kicks Angelica in the left knee and Angelica falls into the corner. Bree moves in and kicks her in the ribs and then again and again. She then goes to whip her across. Angelica runs across and Bree follows. Angelica goes up to float over, but Bree catches her legs on her shoulders and then pulls her out and Angelica goes face first into the mat.

Sharper: “Angelica pulled out and driven into the mat! Face first!”

Knots: “Jesus Bree. That wasn’t classy.”

Sharper: “I don’t think she’s caring so much about that.”

Knots: “Like I care. She’s still Bree Mason in my book just because it pisses her off.”

Angelica rolls over and Bree drags her out of the corner a bit but still near the ropes as she grabs the top rope, jumps on the middle rope and hits a slingshot splash. She hooks the leg.

Angelica kicks out. She turns and rolls over and Bree drags her up and hits a vertical suplex. Bree gets up and hits an elbow drop. She then gets up and grabs at the leg of Angelica. The crowd starts to boo and she kicks at it. She then looks at Angelica and Angelica swings at her as Bree taunts her. She then kicks at it again before lifting it up and elbowing her left leg. Angelica winces and rolls over. She grabs at the ropes as Bree walks over and clubs her in the back. She then spins her around and whips her into the ropes. Angelica bounces off and ducks a clothesline attempt before hitting the middle turnbuckle. As Angelica backflips back, Scott who was there, flinches. Angelica meanwhile hits a moonsault into a DDT on Bree. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Bree was working on the leg, but Angelica had enough strength to moonsault through and catch her with the DDT.”

Knots: “Scott thought she was going to go after him! Ha!”

Scott looks around, trying to calm himself down as Angelica goes for the pin.

Bree gets her shoulder up. Angelica looks up and Bree turns rolls to her side. The crowd ohs. Angelica gets up and grabs Bree. She pulls her up and whips her into the corner. Bree hits the corner as Angelica runs after and Bree gets a boot up. Angelica stumbles back and Bree steps out and hits the BOGO. Angelica hits the mat. She goes for the pin.

Angelica kicks out. She rolls over as Bree turns and grabs her. Angelica nails her in the ribs and then again before turning and going to throw her to the ropes by Scott. Scott backs up and turns away as Angelica smirks and holds on before spinning her around. She scoops her up and Bree lands behind. She hits a back suplex into a bridge.

Angelica rolls over. Scott grits his teeth. He shakes his face as James looks at him confused on the other side.

Sharper: “Scott Burnside is doing something. Trying to fire himself up.”

Knots: “He’s been scared by his own shadow all match. This match with Redemption getting in his head! And now he’s trying to get himself up for something!”

Sharper: “All this as Bree gets another nearfall.”

Bree then grabs Angelica. She goes to lift her up and Bree then grabs her, but Angelica shoves her back. Bree swats the official in the face. Scott perks up as Angelica walks over and grabs Bree and Bree hits a jawbreaker. Scott then yells out to Bree. James starts to walk around the ring as Bree turns to the referee and smiles before grabbing Angelica. The referee stirs as Bree knees Angelica in the ribs. She then turns and goes to run her toward the ropes, by Scott as Scott winds up and Angelica, at the last moment, spins through and bends Bree down. The referee sees this as Scott connects with a hard right to Bree’s jaw. James stops in his tracks as Scott immediately looks on stunned and remorseful. Bree falls back as Angelica backs away and the referee calls for the bell. The crowd looks on and boos.

Sharper: “Scott struck Bree! And the referee was back up and saw it!”

Knots: “Hahahaha! Scott screwed up again! He’s so riled up by this all! It’s great!”

Bree holds her jaw as Angelica rolls back, not even angry about the loss, instead laughing as James look on and smirks as the referee informs Phillips of the decision.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a disqualification, here is your winner, Bree Lancaster!”

Bree holds her jaw as Scott enters the ring and goes over to Bree. James looks at Scott and thanks him as Angelica pats him on the back. Scott swats at Angelica as Bree holds her jaw. Angelica backs up and exits the ring.

Sharper: “Scott Burnside is coming undone here. Bree wins, not the way she wanted.”

Knots: “She was hoping to remind Angelica Jones that Bree could have her number. Not tonight, instead, it looks like Redemption have the advantage going into the Tag Team Championship match at Bound by Blood and it’s glorious!”

Angelica and James head to the back as Bree tries to calm Scott down, while rubbing her chin, and we cut away.

Backstage we see Hana Ito standing with Regan Street and Mikaela Street at the SCW interview area.

Hana: “Hana Ito here and I’m with the Hellcat Regan Street and tonight, Regan, you face Alexis Quinne, but as we know, Datura returns next week and has already agreed to face Alexis Quinne upon her return, but both you and Datura have certainly made some veiled and not veiled threats to one another.”

Regan turns to Hana.

Regan: “Do you think I care about that match? Do you think I care about anything Alexis Quinne wants? I don’t care about the piledriver. I don’t care about whatever pride you have in facing Datura. You got your hands on her. You got hurt.”

Regan pauses.

Regan: “And to me, you’ll always be that Pint-Sized Prick. Someone who is a thorn in my side and doesn’t get out of my way when she should. Tonight, I remind you of that and I hope people are watching. Put me against Datura. Make her return against me. That’s the fight. That’s the play. Yeah, Datura won’t be walking out of that fight. But we all know it’s going to happen. So don’t screw with inevitability. She did this by calling out my family. So I’m coming for her! And Alexis…you’re in my way.”

Regan and Mikaela Street both walk off.

Hana: “Regan Street faces Alexis Quinne, that and much more, later tonight, as Breakdown continues.”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage we see Scott Burnside pacing as Bree tries to calm him down. She keeps rubbing her chin.

Bree: “Scott…it’s fine. It happens-“

Scott: “No, it’s not fine. I just hit you. What if you had a shoot? Or some modeling. And I may have just ruined that. I can’t handle this.”

Bree: “You were doing better last week with the training-“

Scott: “Breezy, I love you, but please don’t lie to me. You don’t do it well.”

Bree sighs.

Bree: “Just-“

Scott: “Sorry…I can’t. I just can’t.”

Bree: “Wait, don’t do anything rash-“

Scott: “I’m not going to drag you down having to carry me. Especially with James and Angelica. They deserve to lose for what they’re doing and saying.”

Bree: “That’s true but.”

Scott: “Sorry, Breezy. I have to.”

Bree: “Scott!”

Scott turns and heads off, grabbing one of the titles. Bree then starts to head after him but Scott turns to her.

Scott: “Bree…if you care about me, you’ll let me do this.”

Bree sighs as she looks at him as Scott storms off.

Bree: “Scott! Please!”

Bree sighs as Scott heads off.

Casterillo vs. Total Terror vs. Billy Breakdown vs. Kordellia Amida

The scene opens up to see Casterillo entering the ring as Total Terror, Billy Breakdown and Kordellia Amida stand in the ring. Billy immediately walks up to get in the face of Casterillo.

Sharper: “Fatal fourway action taking place next here on Breakdown.”

Knots: “The Mid-Atlantic Brown Shoes and White Shirts Championship on the line in this one.”

Sharper: “Stop it. Billy Breakdown getting in the face of Casterillo-“

The bell sounds and immediately Casterillo nails Billy with a hard right. The crowd roars as Total Terror runs over and nails Casterillo in the side. He falls over to the corner as Kordellia slowly walks to Billy. Terror nails Casterillo with a couple of hard rights as Casterillo falls into the corner. Kordellia grabs Billy and nails him with a hard right. He stumbles to the ropes. Kordellia hits another methodical right hand. He grabs him and goes to whip him across, but Billy spins through. Kordellia bounces off the ropes and Billy jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. He gets up, pumping his arms as the crowd cheers. Total Terror backs up and then clothesline Casterillo up and over the top rope to the floor.

Sharper: “Casterillo and Amida downed. Casterillo to the floor. And his bad luck, annoyance, everything else you want to call it, all stemming from being attacked a couple of weeks ago on this program by that superhero dressed individual.”

Knots: “And we know it’s not a fluke, happened in back to back weeks!”

Terror nails Billy from behind. The crowd boos. He then nails him again before whipping him across. Billy bounces off and Terror hits a powerslam. He goes for the pin.

Billy kicks out. Terror gets up and Kordellia spins him around and nails him with a hard right to the throat. Terror stumbles back. She then backs up and boots him in the face. He falls into the corner. Billy starts to get up and he turns as Kordellia steps toward him and presses forward, choking him in the corner. The crowd boos as a “Billy!” chant begins. Casterillo pulls himself onto the apron and into the ring.

Sharper: “Kordellia Amida just choking the life out of Billy Breakdown.”

Knots: “These people in London are chanting for Billy Friggin Breakdown!”

The referee calls for a break as Terror starts to get up and Casterillo grabs him and hits a hard right to the jaw and then a spinning back fist before hitting a hard kick to the ribs. He snapmares him down before kicking him in the back. The crowd ohs. Casterillo turns as Kordellia grabs Billy and throws him at Casterillo. Billy and him hit heads and Kordellia jumps up and hits a double boot to the faces of both, knocking both down. Kordellia turns and goes for the pin on Billy.

Billy kicks out again. He turns as Kordellia gets up and grabs Billy and drags her up before turning and throwing him through the ropes to the floor. Amida turns around as Casterillo gets up and nails her with the Thunder Run. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Hard clothesline. Thunder Run nearly takes Kordellia Amida out.”

Knots: “And this is the joy of a fatal four way. Need to keep looking around you.”

Casterillo turns as Kordellia stirs as does Terror. Casterillo grabs her and places her head between his legs. He goes for the Trial by Fire. As he does, we then see Total Terror run forward and kick Casterillo low. The crowd ohs and Casterillo drops Kordellia with a powerbomb from the impact as Casterillo falls to the ropes. Terror then runs over and grabs him before running out with a bulldog. He goes for the pin as Billy climbs to the top rope.

Billy Breakdown dives off with a swanton bomb into Terror and Casterillo. The crowd cheers. Terror turns and Casterillo rolls over. Billy gets up and turns to the ropes. He then nails him with a superkick to the jaw. Terror hits the mat. Billy goes for the pin.

Kordellia breaks it up. Terror rolls over. Casterillo pulls himself up, looking annoyed as Billy and Kordellia get up and Kordellia nails Billy with a hard right and then another. Casterillo runs over and clotheslines both up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Casterillo from behind, takes Kordellia and Billy to the floor.”

Knots: “Again, caught from behind. You said it and Casterillo benefitting. He’s still in pain though.”

Sharper: “Pain, but pissed off too.”

Casterillo grimaces as he winces a bit and Terror starts to get up and Casterillo runs over and hits a vicious running kick to the stomach of Terror. The crowd ohs as Terror grimaces in pain, struggling to breathe. Immediately, Casterillo grabs him and pulls him up just enough to lock in the Claimed by the Dark. The crowd roars. Terror struggles to breathe as Casterillo locks it in. He reaches around before starting to tap out. The bell sounds as Casterillo holds on for a few moments before letting go.

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

He rolls back. He then glares at Terror. Billy looks at them as he rolls into the ring. Kordellia just coldly stares from the floor.

Sharper: “Casterillo swiftly gets retribution for that low blow.”

Knots: “That had to be terrifying. Kicked the wind out of you and then went for the choke out. Jesus!”

Sharper: “Casterillo…not one to be messed with.”

Casterillo steps through the ropes and drops to the floor. He then starts to head to the back. As he gets to the stage, we then suddenly see a man, climbing up, and struggling a bit, to get onto the stage, dressed in a superhero costume.

Knots: “Not this again!”

The man runs across and Casterillo immediately sees him and nails him with the Thunder Run. The crowd ohs.

Knots: “Well that didn’t work!”

Sharper: “Didn’t seem to be as well calculated this time…and I didn’t hear a woosh.”

Knots: “Don’t get me started on the woosh!”

Casterillo turns and looks at him before grabbing him angrily and pulling off his mask. We then see it to be some random person, unknown to Casterillo or the crowd. They just boo as Casterillo looks at him. He then grabs him. The man starts to plead.

Man: “Wait! Dude! Dude! I was told to just do this. Given a hundred bucks. Told it would be funny.”

Casterillo: “Nothing funny about this.”

Casterillo then turns and hits the Holy Water on the man into the steel.

Sharper: “Whoever that man is. He’s pleading and just got planted!”

Knots: “Someone put him up to it. And clearly told them to go after Casterillo for some reason!”

The crowd boos as Casterillo gets up and looks at him. He then backs away and looks at the mask again before shaking his head and heading to the back.

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Alexis Quinne standing with Hana Ito outside of her locker room. Alexis Quinne has her full entrance gear on as she turns to Hana Ito.

Hana: “I am here backstage with Alexis Quinne and Alexis, it’s your first time back in an SCW ring since you were piledriven by Datura. You face Regan Street who would prefer you get out of the way to let her and Datura fight.”

Alexis: “Too bad I’m first. You wanted to take out your brother. So be it. But I don’t appreciate being a message for Datura going into this match and I have some unfinished business with her first! So Regan, you can call me the Pint-Sized Prick you can’t get rid of. I see me as someone who stands for themselves just like you do. I just don’t need to act entitled to everything to do it. Datura told me I’d get my rematch and I plan to hold her to her word. So Regan, we go to war tonight, but I’m seeing you as a conduit to send a message to Datura as she used me for one for you. Then you can wait on the sidelines for us to finish our business and then I don’t really care.”

Hana: “Good luck tonight.”

Alexis: “Yeah.”

Alexis heads off.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne faces Regan Street! Next!”

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Mr. D, with Katya, in their office as Scott Burnside stands across from him. Mr. D has his SCW World Tag Team Championship belt in his hands.

Scott: “Sorry, but I can’t be a champion. I can’t do this. Just don’t take it out on Bree…it’s….”

Mr. D: “Scott, I appreciate your candor and your honesty. You’re a manager, not a competitor and frankly, this should be worn by one.”

Scott: “Thank you…but please, please don’t take this out on Bree.”

Mr. D: “It’s fine. I’ll be fair in this situation and-“

Just then, Bree storms into the room.

Bree: “Fair? Oh please if I don’t buy that-“

Scott: “Breezy…please-“

Bree: “No, I’d rather have-“

Mr. D: “Bree! Relax.”

Katya looks on.

Mr. D: “I’ll let you choose your own partner. But just note, that if they’ve already agreed to a previous match, they will have to do double duty.”

Bree: “What? Really? Aren’t going to make it Jason Helms’ choice.”

Mr. D: “I want good competition. It’s that simple.”

Bree: “Yeah…sure…”

Mr. D: “Just act quick…you have until the end of the night. Then I’ll handpick someone.”

Bree looks at Mr. D as Katya then smiles a bit before Bree turns and grabs Scott.

Bree: “Come on.”

Scott is dragged out by Bree as they head off.

Knots: “New partner?! Oh damn it!”

Sharper: “Mr. D being fair, but she has only the rest of the night and half the roster is on another tour!”

Regan Street vs. Alexis Quinne

The eyes all focus on the stage as “A Stranger I Remain” hits over the P.A System. The lights begin to flash violet, silver and black crowd starts to buzz and cheer. As the crowd looks on and the song kicks into gear, smoke fills up the stage. The lights continue to flash black and purple. From there, the crowd sees Alexis Quinne, standing wither her back turned against the people, dressed in black and purple Varsity Jacket. The back of the jacket has a black and silver fist in the middle with "New Americana" written right below it. Alexis turns her head and we see she's wearing a half white, half black and purple V for Vendetta mask with El Rudo's mask around her neck and a black baseball bat in her hands. Quinne turns around and peers to the crowd. She then heads down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from San Francisco, California, she is Pint Sized Awesomeness, Alexis Quinne!”

Alexis walks down to the ring with her bat in hand. She's looking around the ring. The camera does a full rotation as Quinne walks past it. Quinne stops mid-way. She looks around before un masking herself. The crowd cheers as Alexis shakes her head and raises her eyebrows a bit. She then keeps walking past the camera. She sees a young boy in the front row, with one of her hats on. Alexis stares at him before offering him his mask. The boy takes it and then the boy and Alexis then lift her knuckle in the air. The little boy looks a bit shit but eventually, he touches knuckles with Alexis. Alexis smirks and nods her head. She slides her bat into the ring and then walks up the steel steps. Alexis turns to the crowd and yells to them as they cheer her. She ascends up the top turnbuckle and Alexis then yells to the crowd, who cheer. The lights inside the ring flash black and purple as Alexis flashes the crowd the peace sign before shortly turning it into a fist. As she holds out her fist, she twists her head around the arena. Alexis looks around at the crowd before she jumps into the ring. Quinne quickly removes her jacket. She goes to the corner; before placing Rudo's mask around the turnbuckle and sliding her bat to the apron. She then climbs up the top rope and waits for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne back in the ring. First time we’ve seen her physically in that ring since Datura piledrove her.”

Knots: “Well fortunately, she wasn’t injured. But Regan may fix that. You heard Alexis and Regan earlier. Regan wants Alexis to get out of their way so she can face Datura instead at Bound by Blood!”

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

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street, from Santa Monica, California, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”

She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with boos. Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, rolls her eyes and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela. Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring; she flips over the ropes back first to the boos from the fans. Mikaela slides in after her. Once inside the ring Regan goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way as Mikaela claps before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring where she takes off her entrance attire and nods to her sister, handing her the gear and she makes her way to the corner while the Hellcat stands waiting to start her fight. She turns to Alexis Quinne and glares at her.

Sharper: “Regan Street, game face is on. And these two have a history beyond their shared issues with Datura.”

Knots: “Yeah. Earlier this year they were at each other’s throats. They’ve fought over titles. Over pride. Now over this.”

The crowd roars as Quinne and Regan look at one another. The bell sounds. Quinne and Regan then run at one another and both nail each other with a hard forearm shot. Regan and Quinne stagger back before Quinne jumps up and nails Regan with a hard forearm and then another before grabbing her by the head and biting her. The crowd roars and cheers as Regan falls to the ropes. Quinne kicks her in the ribs and then again and again before Regan manages to reach up and rakes her eyes. Quinne stumbles back and Regan runs at her and clotheslines her down. Regan just spins around, gritting her teeth and almost laughing in disbelief before she runs over and kicks Quinne in the ribs. Quinne rolls over and to the apron. Quinne starts to get up and Regan then runs along the ropes, bounces off and hits a vicious kick to the shin of Quinne. Quinne falls forward, going face first into the apron before rolling to the floor as the crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Quinne! Hard landing. Regan not happy about how Quinne started.”

Knots: “She said she was going to hurt Alexis. She wants the match and she may have done it right there.”

Quinne stirs on the floor. (1) Regan steps through to the mats. (1) She then grabs Quinne and nails her with a hard right. (2) She drives her face first into the ring apron. Quinne stumbles back. (3) Regan then grabs her and whips her into the steel steps. The steps go up, but drop down, not coming apart as Quinne just collapses to the mats. (4) Regan walks over to her and pulls her up. (5) She then rolls her into the ring. Quinne rolls over and Regan pulls herself up onto the apron and into the ring. Quinne slowly stirs and Regan runs over and hits a running knee lift. Quinne falls back and Regan walks around. She then stomps her in the face. Quinne rolls over, holding her face in pain. She then starts to stir as Regan walks over and grabs her and runs her across the ring and throws her up and over the top rope. Quinne lands on the floor in front of the announce table. (1) Regan then drops down and rolls to the floor.

Sharper: “And now dumped in front of us.”

Knots: “Into the apron, into the steps, just pounding on her…”

Sharper: “Regan not going for the pin. Not yet.”

Regan grabs Quinne. (1) She nails her with a hard right. Quinne stumbles over to the steel steps. Regan follows. (2) Quinne hits the back kick. She then steps out and hits a drop toe hold, driving Regan face first into the steel steps. (3) Quinne rolls over. She then grabs at the table. She turns and Regan starts to get up, leaning against the steel steps as Quinne climbs onto the table. (4) She dives off and lands on the back of Regan, driving her face first again into the steel steps. (5) Regan rolls over, holding her face. Quinne grabs her and rolls her into the ring. Quinne climbs onto the apron and then climbs up to the top rope and Regan starts to get up and we see a gash under her eye and Quinne dives off and hits a missile dropkick to the face. Regan rolls through. Quinne then gets up and runs at Regan and mounts her back and hammers away on her with repeated right hands to the back of the head as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Quinne takes down Regan. I think Regan may be cut.”

Knots: “Under the eye. Probably from going into the steel steps! But Quinne doesn’t care. She’s trying to open up the back of her head now too!”

Sharper: “Hammering away. Regan wants to take Alexis out. Quinne will happily stand up to the challenge!”

Quinne steps off as Regan rolls over. She holds her head and grabs at the ropes and Quinne runs over and nails her with a hard right and then another. She grabs her and goes to whip her across the ring, but Regan spins through and sends Alexis in. Alexis bounces off and hits the Boomerang. The crowd cheers. Quinne steps up and hits a senton backsplash onto Regan. Regan holds her ribs and Quinne goes for the pin.

Regan pushes her off. Quinne rolls off and both get up and Quinne kicks her in the ribs and then hits a shoot kick to the leg. She hits another and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Regan runs after her. Quinne stops in the middle of the ring and Regan runs at her and drills her with a Love Tap. The crowd ohs. Regan falls into the ropes.

Sharper: “Regan with the knee, right to the jaw!”

Knots: “Regan looks like she’s been lately. Pissed off and Quinne’s just feeding the machine on that one!”

Sharper: “Regan following up. No pin.”

Regan then goes stomps her in the face before hitting a leg drop before getting up and hitting a second leg drop before getting up and hitting a third leg drop. She rolls off and gets into the face of Quinne.

Regan: “Just get out of my way. Datura…is mine!”

Quinne spits Regan in the face. The crowd roars. Regan steps back and then turns and grabs Quinne and pulls her up before kicking her violently in the stomach. Quinne falls to her hands and knees from the impact and Regan grabs her by the arms and starts to step over, but Quinne struggles and manages to pull herself up as Regan steps forward. She turns around and lunges for Quinne. Quinne ducks and bounces off the ropes behind Regan. Regan turns around and Quinne jumps up and hits a tornado DDT, spiking Regan into the mat. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Quinne comes back! Tornado DDT! Regan Street landing on her head!”

Knots: “Regan could be out! She could be unconscious from that!”

Sharper: “The referee checking, but Regan moving. Quinne getting up though!”

Quinne turns and grabs Regan. She pulls her up and then hits a scoop slam. She turns and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope as Regan remains down. Quinne gets to the top rope. She dives forward, doing a flip, but Regan rolls toward her. Quinne lands on her feet and rolls through. She gets up and Regan steps up. Quinne runs at her. Regan launches her and into the air before pulling her down stomach first into her knee. Quinne pops up and Regan grabs her and hits the CATastrophe! The crowd ohs and boos. Regan rolls her over and hooks the leg.

The crowd boos as Regan rolls off of Quinne.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Regan Street!”

Sharper: “And Regan Street makes the case that Datura may have unleashed something in her. Quinne had Regan in a bad way, but Regan did not hesitate to take the moment to turn the tide at the end and emphatically put an exclamation mark.”

Knots: “She thinks she should be facing Datura at Bound by Blood. I don’t know if that’s going to happen. But Datura returns next week. She’ll be in the same building as both Alexis Quinne and Regan Street and if the intensity of this one is any indication, they’ll be looking to make Datura realize she done screwed up!”

Regan Street gets up and Mikaela enters the ring. She looks at Quinne as Quinne stirs. Regan then stomps her in the ribs and then again, forcing her out of the ring. The crowd boos as Quinne falls to the mats. Regan then turns and walks around the ring, almost guarding her territory. Mikaela Street just stands with her smiling and applauding her work.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown…”

A shot of a steel cage lowering from the ceiling and then shots of Damian Angel and Donovan Kayl fighting at Under Attack are shown.

Voice: “Damian Angel and Donovan Kayl look to end their rivalry inside a solid steel cage. And then…”

Shots of Christy Matthews, Syren, Ikiro Yoshida, Cassidy Carter and Konrad Raab all come up on the screen.

Voice: “The TV Championship will be on the line. Christy Matthews faces Syren, and in our main event, Ikiro Yoshida faces Cassidy Carter. All that and more, as Breakdown, from London, continues!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and Breakdown cuts to commercials.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up inside the SCW Studios in Toronto to see Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters behind the desk. The camera pans down to focus on them.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown and welcome back to Toronto. Breakdown coming to you from London and already we’ve seen the Network operating on both tours with Xander Valentine getting involved and moments ago, Regan Street just defeated Alexis Quinne.”

Shawn: “Looks like Chris Cannon and Blake Mason calling out the Beauty Factory ofr sicking Xander on them. Notably, and this we didn’t even notice, Xander did not explicitly attack Chris. He certainly zoned him out from making a defense, but not before they were able to get over him and take a stand in the ring. Certainly points to Sienna Swann and the Beauty Factory given what she thinks of Chris Cannon.”

Spirit: “And there’s no proof to that.”

Shawn: “You can say that. But it seems pretty clear. And given that later tonight, we’ll see Ikiro Yoshida face Cassidy Carter with Sienna telling him to humble her in that ring, you know that’s happening with Blake.”

Spirit: “Well moving on, what about Regan Street. After Alexis and her both made clear they want Datura, looks like Regan is a step ahead.”

Shawn: “A step ahead, but I think that was a mistake by Regan. We all know that Regan Street is a hot head. We know you don’t want to get on her bad side. That’s all true. But do you think Datura is not sitting at home watching this and smiling. She returns next week and knows how badly Regan wants to face her! How badly Regan wants to get in that ring against her and Datura already told Alexis, she’d get the rematch when she returns.”

Spirit: “Some interesting decisions for the boss and others. We have plenty more to come tonight. But the first half of this show, we saw Sam, Giovanni Aries’ associate, manager, I don’t know what you want to call her.”

Shawn: “Who knows? But she came here to again approach Owen. He’s not interested. He wants to face Giovanni in the ring. But what about another big change. Scott Burnside forfeiting his half of the Tag Team Championship!”

Spirit: “He was trying. I know he was. And Angelica and James have gotten into his head.”

Shawn: “I think they’re just taking advantage of what Scott let get into his head. He is now a champion and he’s not as experienced in that ring. Only a few matches. Ironically, both in SCW were title matches. And he’s realized the pressure on him by being not just a champion, but partners with Bree. Someone who is pretty high strung!”

Spirit: “Just proud.”

Shawn: “And Scott knows it. They’ve been friends for years.”

Spirit: “This leaves Bree, either way, in a tough spot. At least the boss is allowing her to choose her own partner for Bound by Blood, but Bree now has to figure that out.”

Shawn: “Hope she has a good international phone plan.”

Spirit shakes her head.

Spirit: “Back in London, the steel cage is starting to lower to the ring. You see it here.”

On the screen behind them, the steel cage can be seen lowering to the ring. Fans cheering as the camera gets close up shots.

Spirit: “Donovan Kayl to face Damian Angel. This is the end to all of their issues since Rise to Greatness. Damian Angel wanting to take down the cornerstone of professional wrestling and thereby SCW.”

Shawn: “Both sides have no immediate backup. Trinity and Kennedy along with Har Megiddo are all in South Africa right now. Donovan Kayl and Damian Angel get to have their fight in the steel cage. No interference.”

Spirit: “So what is the game plan for both?”

Shawn: “For Damian, easy. You want to take him out. You want to destroy him. You use that cage for everything it’s worth. You are going to use the cage to shred Kayl’s flesh. You’ll use it to add some sting to every move. People don’t think of this, but every time you go into the cage, you can get cut on the back, the arm, every slam then hurts that little bit more. It can all just wear you down.”

Spirit: “And Donovan?”

Shawn: “It’s not survive, but it’s make sure you wrestle your match. The problem with Damian is that he can wrestle it. You don’t want to wrestle, but pick your spots. Both are experienced in that rig, but Kayl needs to focus on competing and wrestling. Don’t get into the brawling. If you do, I think Damian wins this.”

Spirit: “We will find out. That and much more to come. TV Title on the line. Syren to face Christy Matthews. We know Josh Hudson is here and our main event, Ikiro Yoshida faces Cassidy Carter, but next, we’ll see Donovan Kayl and Damian Angel clash in the steel cage. That match, it’s next, it’s on Breakdown, from London, England!”

Donovan Kayl vs. Damian Angel

Steel Cage Match

Breakdown returns as the steel cage is set up around the ring and secured. The crowd roars as “Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown in London, England! Donovan Kayl on his way to the ring in hopes of ending this rivalry with Damian Angel inside a steel cage!”

Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Stepping out to the top of the ramp is “The Cornerstone” Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. As he stands atop the ramp, he throws his arm out with each big note of the beginning musical portion.

Phillips: “The following contest is a steel cage match with a thirty minute time limit! First, on his way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling, Donovan Kayl!”

After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring. Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, he goes over to the cage door and nods before stepping up into the cage. He enters through the ropes. He climbs up onto the second rope before climbing part way up the cage, looking out over the crowd, until the next lines hit. Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby. He hops down to the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head as the crowd showers the ring with streamers, cascading down around him as he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl and Damian Angel wanted this match. No Har Megiddo. No interference. The steel cage as an extra precaution.”

Knots: “But an extra weapon. One I know Damian Angel will be happy to use.”

Sharper: “Last week, Har Megiddo lost to Trinity Street and Kennedy Street in Australia. Will that be a presage to what we may see tonight? Donovan Kayl is hoping for just that!”

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

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

During that verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp, inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Hell, Michigan, he is Satan Himself, Damian Angel!”

The lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel to the ring as he heads to the ring. He walks over to the door and smiles as he heads up the steps and into the cage. The door closes behind him. The referee locks it as Damian Angel then enters the ring. He steps forward before dropping down to a knee, looking right at Donovan Kayl. Damian runs his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo, immediately springing to his feet thereafter. Damian unfastens the clasps of his rope, letting it drop down to the mat behind him. He glares out over the crowd. Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell. He then stops before backing up and turning to Kayl. Kayl and him keep locking eyes.

Sharper: “Door cage locked. Damian Angel and Donovan Kayl both in the ring.”

Knots: “Nowhere to go.”

Sharper: “Well you can climb out, but that solves nothing. You win by pinfall or submission inside the cage. Damian doesn’t have Har Megiddo here as we mentioned. Trinity and Kennedy not here for Damian.”

The bell sounds as the crowd roars. Damian and Donovan circle the ring. Damian and Donovan then lunge at one another and Damian goes for a hard right. Donovan ducks and spins around. Damian turns and Donovan nails him with a hard forearm to the jaw and then another before spinning him around into the ropes. Damian leans against them and Donovan kicks him in the ribs and then again before Damian reaches up and rakes the eyes. Donovan staggers back and Damian steps out and nails him with a hard throat thrust. Donovan stumbles back to the ropes. Damian follows up and nails him with another one. Donovan’s head snaps back.

Sharper: “Damian with hard right hands. Donovan’s head snapping back from the impact.”

Knots: “Getting all of them. Trying to cut off the air too with them!”

Damian then turns and runs him across and into the top turnbuckle, face first. Donovan turns and Damian kicks him in the ribs and then again before leaning in and starting to choke him with a blatant choke. The referee pleads for the break, but Damian just smirks, holding it for a few moments before stepping up. He then pulls him out and nails him with a hard right. Donovan hits the mat. He turns and grabs at the ropes. Damian walks over and places his knee on the back of Donovan’s head, forcing his throat against the middle rope. The crowd boos again as Damian looks down as the referee tries to get the break again. Damian steps off and nails Donovan in the back of the head and then again and again. He pulls Kayl up by the hair and turns and goes to run him across the ring, but Kayl blocks it. The crowd roars and Kayl elbows him in the ribs. He then backs up against the ropes and hits a dropkick, knocking Damian down.

Sharper: “Dropkick takes down Angel as Damian Angel tried to use the cage as a weapon.”

Knots: “Kayl knows that. Damian’s been using the ring as a weapon. The cage is the next step!”

Damian Angel gets up and Donovan nails him with a hard right. He then chops him. The crowd woos. He grabs him and whips him across the ring. Damian bounces off and Donovan hits a high knee. Damian hits the mat. Donovan turns and runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running knee drop. He rolls through and turns back for the pin.

Damian kicks out. Donovan gets up and Damian pulls himself up. Donovan kicks him in the ribs. He then hits a vertical suplex. Damian winces as Donovan turns and walks over to the corner. He climbs up to the top rope, using the cage for some help as Damian starts to get up and Donovan dives off and goes for a double axe handle smash, but Damian side steps and nails Donovan in the ribs with a shot. The crowd boos. Damian then grabs Donovan by the head and runs him face first into the cage side. The crowd ohs as Donovan hits the mat and rolls over.

Sharper: “And Donovan tastes the steel first. Damian dodging and then making him pay.”

Knots: “And if Damian does what he wants, this is the start of the long night for Kayl!”

Kayl starts to get up and Damian grabs him and drags him to the cage and starts to grind his face into the chain-links. The crowd boos as Donovan yells out. He grabs at the cage, trying to push back and Damian grabs him and runs him along violently and Donovan falls into the space between the ropes and the cage. Damian walks around the ring as the crowd boos. Donovan starts to get up, some blood dripping from his head. He starts to get up and leans against the cage before Damian runs over and hits a running bodysplash. Donovan hits the cage and falls through the ropes. Damian then grabs him and drags him up. He then smirks before looking at the blood on his face and running his hand over it.

Sharper: “Damian Angel is sick!”

Knots: “He’s busted him open and now admiring his handiwork!”

He then turns and runs Donovan to the cage, but Donovan spins through and hip tosses Damian into it. Damian lands awkwardly rolling back and landing on his feet before Donovan grabs him and runs him across the ring and sends him hard into the cage. Damian staggers off as the crowd cheers and Donovan grabs him and throws him into the opposite side of the cage. The crowd cheers some more as Donovan does the same to the opposite side again before Damian stumbles forward and Donovan spins around him and hits a German suplex into a bridge.

Damian shoots his shoulder up. He rolls over. The crowd ohs. Kayl starts to get up and grabs Damian. He pulls him up and nails him with a hard right and then another. He then goes to whip him across the ring. Damian bounces off and Donovan lifts him up, but Damian Angel spins through, landing behind Damian. He pulls him back by the head and hits an inverted snap bulldog. The crowd ohs. Damian then rolls over. He gets up and stomps Kayl in the face. Kayl rolls over, holding his jaw.

Sharper: “Damian Angel with a vicious stomp.”

Knots: “Only adding to the blood, the injury, the cut.”

Damian grabs Donovan and pulls him up before hitting a scoop slam. Damian turns and goes to the corner. He starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd boos as he gets up to the top. Donovan starts to stir and Damian glances back before Donovan grits his teeth, runs to the corner and up it. The crowd cheers as he grabs Damian and drives him face first into the cage corner and then again and again. The crowd roars as he then starts to grind him in a bit more, causing Damian to bleed a big from his head. The crowd cheers as Donovan looks and sees his handiwork before hoisting him up and hitting a back superplex back into the middle of the ring. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl busting open Damian Angel and then sending him down with a back suplex off the top rope!”

Knots: “Damian wasn’t sent to hell but feels like it!”

Donovan Kayl starts to pull himself up as the crowd cheers as Damian rolls over, holding his head and neck. Donovan then grabs him and knees him in the ribs and then again and finally a third time. He then turns and hoists him up as if going for a back suplex before running forward and throwing Damian into the cage. Damian hits and falls to the ropes and down into the ring. Donovan Kayl then looks around before grabbing Damian. He starts to pull him up and Donovan hoists him up in a front face lock before throwing him forward. Damian lands on his knees and Donovan runs into the ropes, bounces off and nails him with a running knee.

Sharper: “Point Blank!”

Donovan turns and goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and cheers as Donovan Kayl rolls off. He takes a few deep breaths before touching the cut on his forehead.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Donovan Kayl!”

Kayl gets up and has his arm raised.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl standing tall over Damian Angel! Steel cage. No questions! Donovan Kayl is not being destroyed. He’s victorious!”

Knots: “And Damian Angel couldn’t get it done tonight. The Cornerstone is still in place!”

Donovan Kayl looks around and smiles as he then glances back at Damian Angel. He then turns and walks over to the entrance and opens the door, stepping through it. He then walks down the steel steps. Damian Angel remains down in the ring, bloodied from his face. Damian Angel heads around to the entrance way and glances back before turning around and looking at the crowd and holding his arms up. The crowd cheers. Donovan steps back before the crowd roars as we see Xander Valentine again from behind. He hoists Donovan up from behind and Donovan struggles before he runs him forward and throws him into the cage. Donovan hits and falls to the mats in a thud. Xander then grabs him and pulls him up as the crowd boos loudly.

Sharper: “Xander! Again! What the hell? Why?! Why Donovan?! I get Blake! I get Chris! But Donovan Kayl?!”

Knots: “Maybe because he’s tied to Trinity and Kennedy! Maybe? I don’t know!”

Xander then double underhooks Kayl as the crowd roars. Xander hoists him up and runs forward and throws him into the cage. Kayl hits and falls to the mats again as Xander backs up. The crowd boos as we then see Chris Cannon and Blake Mason running out from the back. The crowd cheers as Xander backs up and turns to them. Officials run out after them and quickly get between Chris and Blake and Xander. A few check on Donovan Kayl as Xander just looks at them as Blake goes to Kayl too as Chris keeps his eyes on Xander. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Cannon! Mason! They’re out! They’re not going to Xander do more.”

Knots: “I don’t know if there’s a reason to do more. Kayl slammed hard into the cage twice!”

The crowd continues to look on as Chris keeps trying to get to Xander. Xander just calmly stands back, glancing at the cage before stepping over the barricade and into the crowd. He calmly walks off as the crowd boos.

Breakdown returns as we see Donovan Kayl backstage in the trainer’s room. He has a bit of ice on his neck and back. We then see the door open as Blake Mason and Chris Cannon walk in. The crowd cheers seeing them.

Donovan: “I’m fine.”

Blake: “Didn’t look fine.”

Donovan: “Well is Xander at least gone.”

Chris nods.

Blake: “Yeah for now.”

Chris: “This is getting ridiculous. First what happened last week…”

Blake: “If they think this is going to make me reconsider anything-“

Donovan: “No, Blake. It’s because she’s scared…or bought into her own hype.”

Chris: “Probably the latter. But I bet Laura is scared. Trueloves definitely were.”

Donovan: “Chris…you know where my bag is.”

Chris: “I think I know exactly what you’re thinking.”

Donovan: “Make the call. I’m going to get stitched up. We’re then going to show the Beauty Network or whatever they’re calling…they picked the wrong fight.”

Chris: “Done.”

Blake: “You know I can’t be out there-“

Chris: “Blake…don’t worry about that. You want to prove to me and everyone that you really are reformed. You know what you need to do.”

Blake nods. Chris then heads out. Donovan looks at Blake as Blake turns and leaves too.

Derek Adonis vs. Konrad Raab

SCW Television Championship

The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be “graced” by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis! He steps out, dressed in pants with a Union Jack pattern on each leg. Cookie follows, dressed in a one-piece leotard with a matching Union Jack that looks about two sizes too small. They look around as Adonis points to some people in the crowd. The two start to head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the SCW Television Championship! First, the challenger... on his way to the ring, accompanied by Cookie Dreams, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he’s the Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

Adonis struts down to the ring before walking over to the steps and going to the apron. He then steps into the ring and looks around before grinning while watching as Cookie just bounces in the corner. She smiles back, and Adonis gyrates a little in her direction as his music fades out.

Sharper: “I can't believe I'm about to say this... but Derek Adonis could become a two-time champion in just a few minutes.”

Knots: “Come on! Look at the guy, he's the Man Mountain, King of the KABLAMpire! And he and Cookie are showing their UK pride.”

Cold as Ice by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front. He's wearing the TV Title belt around his waist. Raab raises his arms overhead as the crowd roars and cheers.

Phillips: “From Cologne, Germany, he is the current SCW Television Champion... The Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

Raab then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes. He then goes to a corner and gets up on the second turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he raises the title overhead. Raab then hops down and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.

Sharper: “Konrad Raab, holding gold. Long time coming for the Iceman. Always popular with the fans, but even more so here in Europe, not all that far from where he's from.”

Knots: “I've taken a lot of shots at his expense, but the man took that championship from Josh Hudson, that's not easy and I can give credit where it's due.”

Sharper: “How generous of you Jon.”

Knots: “I have my moments.”

The bell rings. Adonis turns away from Cookie and looks at Raab with a big grin. He does a little dance, and Raab sort of laughs at bit. He then steps forward and extends his hand. Adonis looks back at Cookie, who nods at him. The crowd roars. Adonis turns back to Raab, hesitates a second, then shrugs and shakes his hand. The crowd cheers. The men then lock up and Raab quickly gets the advantage. He spins Adonis around and locks his arms around looking for a suplex of some sort. Adonis blocks it though, and escapes the hold, turning around to give Raab the stinkeye and wagging his finger. Cookie shakes her head, and the crowd laughs.

Knots: “Looks like Adonis takes offense at Raab's, uh... positioning.”

Sharper: “Raab doesn't seem to care.”

Raab shakes his head and grabs Adonis' wrist, stopping the finger-wag. He then pulls and takes Adonis down with an arm drag. Raab turns and as Adonis starts to get up, Raab hits an elbow drop to his back. Raab gets up, and pulls Adonis to his feet. He then grabs an arm and sens Adonis into the ropes. Adonis bounces back, ducks under a clothesline attempt, spins, then shoves Raab in the back with both hands. Raab stumbles forwards. Cookie claps from the apron. Adonis nods exaggeratedly with a big smile, brother, and grabs Raab's arm. He spins and throws Raab into the corner. Raab's back hits the turnbuckle hard. Adonis backs into the opposite corner, runs in place for a few steps as if building momentum, then runs across the ring, before leaping with a splash. Raab moves at the last second, spinning out of the way, and Adonis hits the turnbuckles chest first. The crowd oohs, and Cookie covers her eyes.

Sharper: “Adonis going for the Kablam a little early, maybe getting ahead of himself, and Raab was able to evade.”

Knots: “So... would you say Adonis was a little.... premature?”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Knots: “You're right, the Man Mountain would never do anything premature!”

Adonis turns around and leans on the turnbuckles for support. Raab goes over and throws a few jabs, landing on Adonis' chin and ribs before backing away before the official can tell him to back out of the corner. Adonis holds his ribs and takes a step out of the corner. He coughs hard, bending over. Cookie looks concerned and jumps up onto the apron.

Sharper: “Adonis seems like he got the wind knocked out of him from those rib shots.”

Knots: “Raab seems concerned, but not as much as Cookie. Maybe she needs a hug!”

Sharper: “You're a married man, Jon!”

Knots: “I didn't say from me!”

Raab steps forward as if to check on Adonis. The official holds him off and asks Adonis something. He nods. The official steps back. Adonis coughs again, and Raab steps up again and puts a hand on his shoulder in concern. Adonis suddenly stands straight up, grabs Raab's arm, and pulls him close before wrapping his arms around for a bear hug. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Derek Adonis was faking the cough! It was a trap and Raab is caught!”

Knots: “For a dumb guy Derek can be kinda smart sometimes!”

Adonis lifts Raab up off his feet and squeezes harder, before turning and planting him down with a slam. He makes a cover.

1!

2!

Raab kicks out.

Adonis pulls Raab up and sends him across the ring. Raab uses the momentum to help him with a flying clothesline. Adonis flips over and lands hard. The crowd roars. Raab goes for a cover of his own.

1!

2!

Adonis gets his shoulder up. Raab gets up and steps back. Adonis starts to get up slow, holding the back of his neck. Cookie, still on the apron, shows concern again. Raab looks back at her, then to Adonis, and shakes his head. He goes over and pulls Adonis up to his feet, then into a rear grapple and immediately lifts him up and over with a German suplex.

Sharper: “Raab wasn't buying the act that time, didn't fall for Adonis pretending his neck was hurt.”

Knots: “It may be now, did you see that suplex? The whole ring shook!”

Raab makes a cover.

1!

2!

Adonis kicks out. Raab gets up and backs up again Adonis gets to his feet slowly. He turns to face Raab, and holds out his hand, wagging his finger again. He then bounces off the ropes for momentum and goes for a running shoulder tackle. Raab side steps though, Adonis hits the other ropes, and grabs the top one to stop from rebounding backwards. He spins around, and Raab is there with an uppercut. Adonis holds his jaw. Raab grabs an arm and whips Adonis across, bur Adonis counters mid-ring and sends Raab into the corner instead. Adonis doesn't waste time going to the opposite corner this time, he just turns and steamrolls into the corner, leaping at the last second and splashing Raab into the corner!

Knots:” KABLAM!!”

Sharper: “That had some mustard on it.”

Cookie jumps up and down clapping as Adonis pulls Raab out of the corner and shoves him down. He gives one good stomp to the chest for good measure before making a cover.

1!

2!

3!

Raab gets his shoulder up right after the three. The crowd roars as the bell rings.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall.... and NEW Television Champion... Derek Adonis!”

Cookie steps into the ring and leaps onto Adonis with a hug. He catches her, barely, and spins around in celebration before setting her back onto her feet. The official comes over with the belt and raises Adonis' arm.

Sharper: “Good God... Derek Adonis is a two-time champion. This is the world we live in.”

Knots: “A better world than one with the old guy as a champion. Hey... Adonis just beat the guy who beat Josh Hudson... that makes Adonis a legend-beater by proxy!”

Sharper: “No.... it really doesn't....”

Knots: “Come on Adam, don't be salty just because the Kablamasutra couldn't help you!”

Sharper: “I.... no. Not going to entertain that.”

Raab gets to his feet and goes up to Adonis, offering his hand again, although a little disappointed. Adonis shakes it once more as the crowd cheers.

We see Bree Lancaster walking through the backstage area. Scott Burnside is a few strides behind her. She snaps at one official as she walks down the hallway.

Bree: “Out of my way!”

She then turns the corner before heading to the office of Mr. D and Katya and just bursts in as Mr. D looks up.

Bree: “You wanted me to find a partner. I have one. Andrew Raynes!”

The crowd roars and then boos.

Mr. D: “You understand he’s facing Marie that night.”

Bree: “Let him. With how annoyed he is at her and by my situation, he’ll need all the time he can to get warmed up. These titles aren’t going anywhere.”

Bree turns and storms off as Scott walks in only for Bree to turn him around. They head off.

Katya: “She’s always been an interesting one.”

Mr. D: “Well, she’s going to have a busy couple of weeks. I’ve already signed her next US title defense, on Breakdown in three weeks.”

Katya: “Oh?”

Mr. D: “Against Selena Frost.”

The crowd roars. The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns to the arena as we then see Chris Cannon and Donovan Kayl, now with a bandage on his forehead, both heading to the ring. The crowd cheers seeing them.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl and Chris Cannon now on their way.”

Knots: “Both targeted in some way by The Network.”

Sharper: “They said they were going to make a call.”

Donovan Kayl and Chris Cannon walk over to the ring. Cannon hops onto the apron and then climbs into the ring. Kayl walks up the steel steps before heading along the apron. He steps into the ring. Kayl walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone. Jonathan Knots actually gets up and heads to the ring. Kayl says something to him. Knots just smiles as he heads back. Kayl is handed a microphone and he turns back to the middle of the ring. Cannon looks around as Kayl turns to the crowd.

Sharper: “What did you ask?”

Knots: “It’s exactly what I thought!”

Kayl: “So it seems that we have a bit of a new partnership in SCW. I just got done with one person who wanted to take me out, but it appears that my attention should be now turned elsewhere. Because Chris and I, among others, are a bit annoyed by people paying someone to try and take us out. And while it may be some of the pain in my back and head talking right now after the war I was just in with Damian and the attack from Xander…and Chris may be just annoyed about the whole thing, we did something you’re probably not going to be happy about.”

Kayl pauses as he walks around the ring. Chris looks around as the crowd cheers.

Kayl: “Just before we came out here, we made a quick stop at the boss’ office. And it seems he’s not pleased about the trend either and we made a bit of a pitch. But just before we made that pitch, we called our back-up….our…family…”

The crowd roars.

Kayl: “And asked if they wanted to respond. And the response was an emphatic yes. So Xander…wherever you are. I hope you have a phone handy. Call your bosses, because at Bound by Blood, we’re coming for a war. On that night, five on five, elimination rules. We’re not ending until everyone from one side is taken out. On your side, bring Xander, bring the Trueloves, bring whoever the Beauty Network as you’re calling yourself and put out. You can try and get the job done.”

Kayl then looks around as the crowd starts to roar, cheering in anticipation of what’s next.

Kayl: “Last week you tried to take out Trinity, to take our Kennedy, well, you can try and take out the Street Family at Bound by Blood!”

The crowd cheers loudly as Kayl brings the microphone down. He looks around.

Sharper: “The Streets against the Beauty Factory, the Network, five on five! At Bound by Blood!”

Knots: “Donovan Kayl, practically a brother to them, Chris Cannon, well Kelcey Wallace is their cousin. Kennedy and Trinity. Sisters. But who’s number five? Is it Regan?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but that would mean she’d have to team against her allies! But the Network, Beauty Factory, I hope they took notice. The fight is on at Bound by Blood!”

The crowd continues to cheer as “Tom Sawyer” plays throughout the arena. Donovan Kayl starts to rile up the crowd as Chris Cannon looks around and smiles. The crowd continues to cheer as the cameras focus on them and then cutting to the crowd.

The Breakdown logo comes up as we keep hearing Kayl’s theme and the cheers. We then see a shot of Christy Matthews vs. Syren come up on the screen.

Sharper: “From that huge announcement, next, Christy Matthews faces Syren! What else is going to happen tonight!”

Knots: “Things are just getting bigger and bigger!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Regan Street storming through the hallway, clearly with intent on her mind. She heads down one hallway before yelling out as the crowd boos.

Regan: “Hey!”

We then see her head over to Donovan Kayl. Chris Cannon is a few steps ahead, about to enter a locker room.

Donovan: “Regan-“

Regan: “You’re going to talk about the Street family going to war. I noticed one distinct omission and only can guess four people. Right?”

Donovan: “Regan. You’re right about the four people.”

Regan: “Are you hoping this is a moment where I’ll magically fall in line. You know I’ve been fighting for this family for months, and none of you ever saw it.”

Chris: “Regan. You’ve got your own issues. This doesn’t involve me?”

Regan: “This involves my family. So it involves me. I’ve been friends with Sienna for years and yeah, she’s gotten a bit too aggressive, but she’s a World Champion. You know that pressure-“

Donovan steps forward.

Donovan: “We don’t want you on our team. You may be family, by blood-“

Regan: “You DON’T want me now. I’ve been fighting for my family for the last YEAR!”

Donovan: “You’ve been fighting for your friends and the Helms family. Just like you are with Datura. And we’re not going to distract you from that. You never said anything when Sienna was talking about erasing the past. You never had an issue with their tactics when the Beauty Factory took off. And plus, none of us want you fighting with us. We don’t know if you can keep it in line.”

Regan: “Are you kidding me?!”

Mikaela comes over.

Regan: “Chris? You don’t think I can be trusted by my own family.”

Chris: “It’s not that. I know you can be. I know you care. But I also know you care about Sienna. You’ve not had a problem with everything even when she stood up and tried to ruin my marriage for her selfish aims. I tried to civil, but she’s supporting this and we’re not going to stand for it. Donovan and I won’t. Kennedy and Trinity won’t.”

Regan: “So then who do you have? Miks?”

Donovan nods to Chris. Chris turns and knocks on the door. A few moments pass before it opens and Dylan Howell steps out.

Regan: “No! NO! I kicked his ass. He should be getting the help he needs and you do this?! You bring him into this!”

Dylan: “Sorry sis…but I’m not going to turn down this chance to stand with my FAMILY. I won’t push them away.”

The crowd cheers as Regan goes to nail Howell as Mikaela just looks stunned as Chris and Kayl both hold her back and push her back before officials come into the view to keep people apart.

Regan: “This is bull[bleep]! Bull[bleep]! I’ve stood for this family from the start! And two people who aren’t even blood are telling me I’m not a part!”

Kayl and Cannon watch her leave as Dylan shakes her head. Mikaela just looks at them.

Mikaela: “I hope you’re happy.”

Cannon: “Mikaela.”

Mikaela: “Just remember you did this to her. You took away the one thing she’s always wanted.”

Mikaela turns and heads off. Kayl shakes his head.

Dylan: “No…she did it to herself.”

The crowd roars as the scene fades out.

Christy Matthews vs. Syren

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans cheer as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, accompanied by her bodyguard Christopher Richter, she is from Overland Park, Kansas, she is Christy Matthews!”

Her fists are taped and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairytale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

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

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

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

Sharper: “Christy Matthew has wanted Ravyn Taylor for months now. She had a chance at Under Attack, but Ravyn walked out as the Adrenaline Champion and a Supreme Champion.”

Knots: “Yeah. She got involved when she shouldn’t have and now Ravyn Taylor has even more reasons to rub things in people’s faces!”

Sharper: “She won’t get Ravyn yet. We assume at Bound by Blood, but tonight, she faces Syren which may be just as good.”

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

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words “JUST BE JEALOUS” accompanied by her heart-logo. She spins back around before pointing toward the ring and starting to head down toward it. Crowe follows.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Alexander Crowe, from Malibu, California, she is Syren!”

Once at ringside she jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the booing fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring, climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air. After a few seconds of posing she blows a kiss out to the crowd and jumps down, walking across the ring to the other side where again she stands on the middle turnbuckle, glaring at the crowd. Crowe climbs onto the apron and looks on. After several more seconds she leaps down, removing her ring jacket and putting it in the corner before jumping up and sitting on the top turnbuckle, looking at Christy as Crowe talks to her.

Sharper: “No CHBK, but now Crowe!”

Knots: “Well this makes sense. CHBK was with Ravyn. Now you have Crowe with Syren. Just in case! Come on!”

Sharper: “And Crowe in the corner of Syren. Christy has Christopher Richter. Although, this is odd. Crowe has typically been in the crowd. Almost waiting for a moment to strike. This is obvious.”

Knots: “Maybe a Ravyn plan to get under the skin of Christy. Maybe just disrespect from Syren too. Doesn’t need to pull the con.”

The bell sounds and Syren steps out as does Christy. The two circle before locking up in a collar and elbow tie-up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another before Christy turns into a side headlock. She pulls back and Syren reaches around before going to fire her into the ropes, but Christy holds on and falls to a knee. Syren kicks at the mat as the crowd cheers a bit. Syren starts to pull herself up as Christy holds on. She hits a headlock takedown. She holds on and Syren reaches her legs up and into a headscissors. Christy nips out. Syren gets up and turns to Christy before Christy hits another headlock takedown. Syren tries again, but to no avail.

Sharper: “Headlock takedown. Christy right now trying to maybe get under the skin of Syren.”

Knots: “Maybe smart. It’s not CHBK there. It’s Crowe. So that may be a different dynamic for advice.”

Christy pushes down for the pin.

Syren rolls her shoulder up. She starts to get up and Christy knees her in the ribs. She turns and whips her into the ropes. Syren bounces off and Christy hits a back drop. Syren hits the mat. Christy hits an elbow drop. She goes for the pin.

Syren kicks out. Both women start to get up. Christy hits a kick to the ribs. She fires Syren into the corner. Christy runs after and Syren hits a back elbow. Christy stumbles back and Syren runs out and hits a clothesline. Christy hits the mat and starts to pull herself up and Syren grabs her and scoops her up and hits a ribbreaker before going for the pin.

Christy kicks out.

Sharper: “Syren with the ribbreaker. Only gets a two!”

Knots: “Only gets a two, but Christy already looks to be figuring out how to get back into it.”

Christy looks around as Syren pulls her up and nails her with a forearm shot before nailing her again. Christy falls into the ropes. Syren grabs her and whips her across. She bounces off and Syren lifts her up for a back drop. Christy spins through and then turns and hits a neckbreaker. She goes for the pin.

Syren kicks out. Both women get up, Syren a bit closer and Christy hits a shoot kick to the leg. Notably, she doesn’t get all of it, no echo from the impact. Christy hits another, again, failing to get it all before just going for a hard forearm. She then grabs her and spins her into the corner. Syren falls in and Christy kicks her in the ribs and then again. She goes to lift her up onto the top rope. She then starts to step up, but Syren blocks it and nails Christy with hard forearm and then another. She falls back and Syren steps up and hits a crossbody into a pin.

Sharper: “Syren counters with the crossbody!”

Knots: “High, right to the jaw too. Christy could be out!”

Christy kicks out. Both get up and Syren hits a kick to the ribs. She then jumps up and hits the Golden Blonde. Christy rolls over. Syren goes for the pin.

Christy gets her shoulder up. Syren rolls off. She looks out and starts to get up and grabs Christy. She pulls her up and then drags her to her feet only for Christy to hit a jawbreaker. Syren stumbles back. Christy jumps up and goes for the hurricanrana driver. Syren rolls over to her back. Christy hooks the leg.

Syren shoots her shoulder up. Christy looks up.

Sharper: “Nearfall. Christy thought she had it. She nearly had Syren down!”

Knots: “Every did too! She caught Syren completely off guard there!”

Syren starts to get up and stumbles forward to the corner. Christy gets up and walks over to Syren. She grabs her, before Syren turns and nails her with a forearm shot. Christy turns and falls to a knee before Syren dives over and rolls through into an inside cradle, hooking both of Christy’s legs.

The crowd roars as Syren lets go and rolls out of the ring. Christy looks up and turns and looks around in disbelief.

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

Sharper: “Syren out of nowhere! Inside cradle and then the win!”

Knots: “That was out of nowhere. Christy hard Syren down. One shot and enough to dazed her as Syren didn’t hesitate!”

Sharper: “I don’t believe it!”

The crowd boos as Syren backs up with Crowe. She just smiles as she has her arm raised by Crowe. Christy gets up and looks at her and shakes her head before we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Christy Matthews annoyed walking over to the office of Mr. D and Katya. She steps over and goes to barge in before stopping herself. Christopher Richter also walks to her.

Richter: “Relax. Syren got lucky.”

Christy: “Not the point.”

She then knocks on the door before stepping in.

Mr. D: “Christy…Christopher.”

Christy: “Okay, I need this all to end. I need Ravyn at Bound by Blood. You said I would have my match.”

Mr. D: “I know I did. But are you ready for it? Syren caught you there.”

Christy: “Because I’m focusing on her. I’ve wanted to get my hands on her for more than five minutes I might add since April!”

Katya: “Wait, dad…she’s the Adrenaline Champion. Ravyn I mean.”

Christy: “So. I don’t need the title-“

Mr. D: “Yeah, but we do. We’re doing our best to enforce that 60 day rule and we don’t need someone like Ravyn flouting it.”

Christy: “You’re kidding me, so then what?”

Katya: “Now now…maybe there’s an answer. You said Selena’s getting a US title match, right dad?”

Mr. D: “Yes, in three weeks. But I’ve got to decide what I’m doing with Giovanni and her.”

Katya: “Let Owen take care of Giovanni! He’s a young star. Give him the show. And for Selena, you don’t want her cold. And Christy, it could be the type of match to get you back on the winning side of things.”

Mr. D: “That’s a good idea.”

Christy shakes her head.

Christy: “It’s not what I want.”

Mr. D: “Yes, but allows me to book Ravyn in her defense and you to figure things out. I don’t then you coming in here asking for a rematch when that would play right into their hands with Syren-“

???: “I thought I heard my name!”

Syren storms into the room.

Syren: “Plotting more ways to screw with me.”

Crowe walks in behind her. Christy and Syren shove a bit.

Mr. D: “Hey!”

Christy: “Whatever, I’m out.”

Christy and Christopher head out as Syren glares at her and turns back to Mr. D.

Syren: “So, that better be about me getting my title shot.”

Mr. D: “Not going to happen. That’s all shored up.”

Syren: “So more wastes of time. Are you thinking about how you’re going to send against me? Make me play good girl again.”

Mr. D: “No, Syren. This time…you can just watch from the sidelines. Maybe learn a few things.”

Katya smirks.

Syren turns to her.

Syren: “What are you looking at? Didn’t you come and plead with us-“

Katya: “And then I realized how pathetic you were!”

Syren steps forward as Crowe actually stops her.

Mr. D: “I think you should leave.”

Syren: “Yeah…good to remember where I stand.”

Syren turns and heads off with Crowe. Mr. D turns to Katya.

Katya: “I’m fine…”

Mr. D: “Sorry about that.”

Katya: “I’m fine…but it did give me an idea. Isn’t there someone who wants to go out on their own? And well, someone in that family is trying to get Ravyn’s attention? Why not kill two birds with one stone.”

Mr. D: “You’re paying attention.”

Katya: “Learned from you.”

Mr. D: “Okay, let’s talk some more about it.”

The scene then fades out.

“Judas" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson, wearing a zip up jacket. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, holding a microphone in his hand. He looks around the arena and smirks as his music fades out as he remains on the stage.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson has been watching everything going on last week and this week. He’ll challenge Sienna Swann, his former ally at Bound by Blood, all thanks to his cashing in a Trios Tournament Contract.”

Knots: “And you know he’s got to be relishing it all.”

Hudson smirks as he continues to look around.

Hudson: “Well it’s been a lot of fun watching. Sienna…I’m a bit sad. You’re focusing on everyone else but me.”

Hudson smirks as he looks around.

Hudson: “Laura…or you…or the Trueloves…all of you have been busy with your work with the Network. Now a lot of people are wondering if you’ve got your head in the right spot. Don’t worry, Sienna. I’m not reading too much into it. I know you’re focusing squarely on me. I mean, I took some of the spotlight from you. Heaven forbid that happens.”

He looks around as the crowd roars.

Hudson: “But then again, you also know you couldn’t send Xander at me, when I’ve already proven he can handle me!”

The crowd cheers. He paces a bit.

Hudson: “But that’s fine Sienna. See, I know you’re keeping your attention on me because you know just how dangerous I am to your title reign at Bound by Blood. People have asked me why I did it and the reason is simple. I’m tired of being the third wheel. I don’t have much else to prove in my career. I’m an SCW Hall of Famer. I’ve won the World Title multiple times. I’ve returned to the top of my class in the last couple of months, reminding everyone what I am capable of. And yet, people were still talking about Sienna and Regan. I’m not going to lie. I’m an egotistical guy. I mean I used to, and still do, call myself and carry myself as the best pure wrestler in SCW!”

The crowd roars.

Hudson: “And well, after playing second fiddle to Regan Street’s fights against the boss and your rise Sienna, after I was in the shadows, giving you both advice, helping you and mentoring you both when you needed it, it’s time for me to try and see if I can take my share of the spotlight and remind everyone without doubt that I am capable of being the World Champion again. So no, I wasn’t going to use the Trios shot on something magical with Regan Street. I wasn’t going to use it to give the Trueloves their title shot when we all know the reason they don’t hold those titles now is because their arrogance blinds them. I chose to use it on myself.”

Hudson smiles.

Hudson: “So feel betrayed. I don’t care. Consider it your last lesson from me. You’re World Champion. You’re everything you wanted. But you’re not the only one that wants everything. And Sienna, as World Champion, you have a bullseye on your back. It’s a cliché, but it’s true and right now, I’m the one looking to take your title. So I hope you enjoyed the photo shoots and all the crap that Laura puts you through. Because if you want the benefits to being champion, you’re going to have to get through me. And Sienna, I’ve been alongside you for the last year and a half. The Past wants to be the Present, and I know everything about the Future!”

Hudson brings the microphone down. He steps back as “Judas” starts to play.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson knows this position well. And he’s hoping that he can become a three time World Champion in eleven days!”

Knots: “Yeah, but he know Sienna is going to want to take him down. But worse, he may know Sienna better than many others because he’s been at her side for so long. And I think we could have a good chance at a new World Champion.”

Sharper: “And if that, all of her actions, all of Laura’s to protect her may be for not!”

Hudson backs up and holds his arms up as the crowd roars. He then smirks a bit before turning and heading to the back as the camera remains focused on him.

“Immortals” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. Ikiro Yoshida vs. Cassidy Carter comes up on the screen.

Knots: “And speaking about those plans…”

Sharper: “Sienna called Ikiro last week to ask him to teach Cassidy some humility this week. Ikiro Yoshida faces Cassidy Carter, a potential future World Championship challenger if she gets past Blake Mason at Bound by Blood. They’ll face each other in our main event, next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Cassidy Carter vs. Ikiro Yoshida

The rifts to "Na na na" by My Chemical Romance begins to play throughout the arena as the spoken intro opens up.

The future is bulletproof
The aftermath is secondary
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Killjoys, Make some noise!

Strobe lights begin flashing between different shades of blue, green and red in rapid succession as Cassidy Carter steps out to a mixed reaction. She smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat as her one woman rave show continues. She throws one arm up over her chest while thrusting the other to the side before bowing smugly before the masses.

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 Beverly Hills, Califorina, she is the Duchess of Debauchery, Cassidy Carter!”

She makes her way down the ramp, now in full spirits, not really focusing on anything. Her arrogance and lack of real concern or worries showing in spades. She reaches the apron before pulling herself up using the bottom rope for support. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over the top rope, landing inside the ring before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring, dancing a bit in a straight line to her own theme song. Her self-admiration and confidence continues to be on full display for the world to grovel in. She raises her arms further up, now placing her hands on the back of her head before making her way to the corner. Stepping up onto the second rope she sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side. She appears to be becoming slightly impatient now in her comfortable spot waiting for this ordeal to begin and be over with.

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter out here to start and in eleven days, she’ll be in action against Blake Mason to earn a World Title opportunity.”

Knots: “Yeah, but Sienna Swann sent Ikiro Yoshida to teach her some humility tonight after her comments last week!”

Red and white lights begin to flash wildly when the opening to “Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett begins to play over the P.A System. The SCW fans rise to their feet casting their eyes to the stage where the curtains part. A sudden pause befalls the arena until a man walks out with a confident swagger in his step, Ikiro Yoshida. He wears his trademark red eye patch with a gold dragon emblazoned onto it along with his long sleeved jacket. A smirk appears on the Japanese superstar’s lips before he spins around once and drops down to one knee, both his arms outstretched while he looks down at the ground…

Phillips: “Her opponent, hailing from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan, he is Ikiro Yoshida!”

The fans boo for the Japanese superstar as he leaps back up onto his feet. He then starts to walk down to the ring as Cassidy Carter exits the ring going over to the announce table.

Sharper: “What in the hell are you doing here?”

Knots: “Hey! That’s mine! She took my water!”

Ikiro quickly runs to the ring and slides in, following that up with a quicker roll to a knee. He then gets up and turns and looks at Cassidy, not seeing what she did with the lights flashing before he heads over to the corner and Cassidy throws the water into the eyes of Ikiro. The crowd roars as Ikiro stumbles back and rubs his eyes. Cassidy rolls into the ring and then throws the water bottle at Ikiro and nails him with a hard forearm shot to the jaw and then another. The referee tries to get her off as Cassidy backs up, rolling her eyes. She paces a bit before he turns to Ikiro and Ikiro steps forward and the referee calls for the bell. Ikiro goes for a hard right, but Cassidy ducks and spins around and she jumps up and hits a dropkick to Ikiro, knocking him into the corner.

Sharper: “Cassidy going after Ikiro. Using the water and now a dropkick!”

Knots: “Cassidy came with a plan. We know how dangerous Ikiro can be, especially recently with him trying to win over Sienna! Sienna said she would personally thank him!”

Cassidy turns and nails Ikiro with a hard forearm and then another and another. Ikiro drops down to a seated position, absorbing each blow as Cassidy hammers away before the referee counts for the break.

Cassidy backs up and walks around the ring. She ignores the referee, just mocking him before turning back to Ikiro who suddenly hits a boot to the face. Cassidy falls over and down to the mat. She starts to get up and Ikiro steps forward and hits a spinning back kick to the jaw. Cassidy hits the mat and rolls over. Ikiro steps to the ropes. Cassidy slowly pulls herself up as the crowd boos a bit and Ikiro runs over and clotheslines her down.

Sharper: “Cassidy down as Ikiro using the break to his advantage. And remember, Kayl and Cannon said they would not be helping Cassidy tonight.”

Knots: “She’s on her own. No love lost between that camp and Ace Marshall. Especially with what happened with Kennedy in the past.”

Cassidy stirs and starts to get up and Ikiro nails her with a kick to the ribs before hooking her up and hitting a vertical suplex. He floats over for the pin.

Cassidy kicks out. Ikiro gets up and Cassidy rolls over. She gets up and stumbles to the corner. Ikiro walks over and grabs her and pulls her out and hits a knee to the ribs. The crowd boos as Ikiro hoists her up, placing her across the top ropes. Ikiro then steps back and to the middle of the ring before running toward Cassidy and catching her with a knee to the ribs. Cassidy falls back onto the apron and down to the apron as Ikiro walks around the ring. The crowd boos. He then runs toward Cassidy and goes for a baseball slide to the face, but Cassidy pulls herself up at the last moment, dodging it and Ikiro slides to the floor. He lands on his feet and walks around before turning back to Cassidy who jumps to the middle rope and hits a springboard corkscrew moonsault onto Ikiro. (1)

Sharper: “Ikiro misses as he was looking to make it so Cassidy Carter may have been done in this matchup. Instead, Cassidy hits a corkscrew moonsault, showing just how quick she can turn it around.”

Knots: “Cassidy showing what she can do.”

Sharper: “And she’s had a few chances, but the last couple of months, it looks like Cassidy has wanted to make sure she wins SCW gold, for better or worse!”

Ikiro rolls over as Cassidy starts to get up. (2) Ikiro grabs at the barricade and Cassidy turns and kicks him in the ribs. Ikiro winces and Cassidy rolls him into the ring. Cassidy then rolls in after. Ikiro starts to get up and Cassidy hits another kick to the ribs. Ikiro rolls over. The crowd cheers a bit. Ikiro stirs and Cassidy grabs him and pulls him down with a DDT while he’s on his knees. She goes for the pin.

Ikiro kicks out. Cassidy gets up and she hits an elbow drop before getting up and standing on Ikiro and looking around and posing a bit. The crowd roars as Ikiro pushes her off. He rolls over and gets up and goes for a spin kick. Cassidy ducks and Ikiro turns around and Cassidy jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

Ikiro kicks out!

Sharper: “Nearfall! Only two though. And Cassidy Carter maybe showing Ikiro she won’t be humble!”

Knots: “She stood on him and was humiliating him!”

Both get up and Cassidy hits a spinning heel kick. Ikiro hits the mat and Cassidy turns and exits to the apron. She smiles as she then climbs up to the top rope. Ikiro however turns and manages to shove the official. He falls to the ropes and Cassidy slips and lands chest first on the top turnbuckle. She winces and Ikiro gets up and walks over and grabs Cassidy and lifts her up onto his shoulders before throwing her back with a Samoan drop off the middle rope. The crowd ohs and boos. Ikiro turns and hooks the leg.

Cassidy gets her shoulder up. Ikiro turns and rolls over and looks down, before saying something to himself before pulling up his tights as he gets up. Cassidy rolls over and slowly gets up. Ikiro grabs her and whips her into the corner. Cassidy stumbles out of the corner and Ikiro runs after and grabs her and hits a release German suplex. Cassidy rolls over. Ikiro turns and tells her to get up.

Sharper: “Cassidy taken over with the German Suplex. Ikiro Yoshida getting all of it.”

Knots: “Ikiro Yoshida making his point more to her. Cassidy Carter can talk all she want. She can make fun of anyone she wants, but she has to prove it in the ring!”

Sharper: “Blake Mason, her opponent at Bound for Blood I’m sure is watching. Blake or Cassidy, one of the two will become the next number one contender to the World Championship!”

Knots: “That’s if there’s anything else. Ikiro wants her to get up. He’s got something in mind!”

Ikiro continues to wait before Cassidy stumbles to her feet and Ikiro kicks her in the ribs and places her head between his leg to go for a powerbomb but Ikiro hoists her up, only for Cassidy to turn and snap him off, sending him face first into the top turnbuckle. The crowd roars. Ikiro winces and Cassidy gets up and takes Ikiro down by the arm for the Fabulock! She pulls back on his head as Ikiro yells out. He reaches around, kicking with his legs as Cassidy keeps pulling back. The referee checks as Ikiro keeps reaching around and trying to get out before managing to plant his feet and pushes off. He rolls through and Cassidy lets goes. Ikiro gets up and Cassidy hits a straight kick to the jaw of Ikiro as he gets up. He falls to the mat and Cassidy goes for the pin.

Ikiro gets his shoulder up. He turns and Cassidy rolls off. She gets up and smirks before Ikiro gets up and stumbles to the ropes and Cassidy runs at him, only for Ikiro to lift her up and back drop her up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs and boos.

Sharper: “Cassidy sent up and over, right in front of us now!”

Knots: “Ikiro getting a chance to reconsider his strategy. That was close!”

Ikiro drops to the floor. (1) Cassidy starts to get up and Ikiro turns and grabs Cassidy and drives her face first into the announce table. (2) Cassidy turns and Ikiro lifts her up onto the table. (3) The referee turns and exits to the floor and tells Ikiro to stop as the crowd roars. Ikiro then grabs Cassidy and places her head between his legs, setting up for a powerbomb. Ikiro looks around as the crowd roars. Ikiro looks at Cassidy.

Ikiro: “This…for Sienna!”

Ikiro lifts her up as we see Blake Mason, running down from the back. He runs around the ring and hops over the steel steps before jumping up and nailing Ikiro in the back. The crowd roars. Cassidy slides down and rolls behind the table as Ikiro falls forward. The referee calls for the bell. It sounds. Ikiro rolls off as Blake grabs him and rolls him into the ring. Blake rolls in after him.

Sharper: “Blake Mason is not going to see Sienna Swann’s ally try to make an example! Maybe motivated by Cannon and Kayl. Maybe doing it for himself.”

Knots: “Could’ve at least let him weaken his opponent for Bound by Blood first!”

Sharper: “Too much integrity and now going after Ikiro!”

Blake gets up as Ikiro pulls himself up and throws a punch, but Blake ducks down and hoists Ikiro onto his shoulders before turning and dropping him with the BME! The crowd cheers as Ikiro rolls over, holding his head in pain. Blake Mason then looks around as Cassidy Carter starts to get up behind the announce table and stumbles off to the side. She looks at Blake as Blake turns to her and then to Ikiro as Ikiro remains in pain.

Sharper: “Blake Mason responding to Sienna Swann’s and the Beauty Factory’s tactics in his own way. Drops Ikiro Yoshida with the Blake Mason Experience!”

Knots: “Cassidy is lucky to be standing here, in one piece. But I don’t think this is how she envisioned tonight going, not after running down Sienna last week on the phone!”

Sharper: “Blake Mason and Cassidy Carter face each other in eleven days. The Beauty Factory may be focusing on them, but Sienna better focus on Josh Hudson. What is going to happen next week when we’re back stateside? We’ll see you then!”

The scene then fades to black…
