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

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “We are back stateside in Atlanta with Breakdown on the air, eleven days away from SCW Clarity, live on pay per view!”

Breakdown cuts to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots standing in front of the SCW announce table, microphones in their hands.

Sharper: “Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and well it’s going to be an interesting night.”

Knots: “I don’t know if I want to be here, Sharper. Xander Valentine is going to be here. He’s going to speak. I want to know what he negotiated with SCW, but I don’t want to be here anyway!”

Sharper: “Not only that, Aaron Blackbourne still the TV Champion. He’ll be defending the title against one half of the El Lucho Brothers, El Lucho Grande. But he’s got to be thinking about Shilo Valiant who returned last week out of the blue.”

Knots: “Yeah. And we know Infamous was in Toronto earlier this week. Syren is going to be in action against Jordan Majors and you know what, they looked pissed off. You want to know why? I think they know they got caught!”

Sharper: “It’s not like them to just run with it to that level, and get caught. So I’ll be curious what happens there. Of course, Clyde Sutter will be in action later too, facing Asher Hayes. Regan Street will face Konrad Raab. So much to come tonight.”

Selena Frost vs. Casterillo

BELIEVE IT!

The SCW Universe are on their feet as “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe.

Phillips: “The opening contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as she lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm upward, her back arm lifted behind her to the sky. With a lift of her right foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring! Lowering her arms, the Winter’s Knight walks down the ramp, her steps leaving footprints in the “snow” under her feet. Reaching the ring, Selena slides under the ropes to enter it. She gets up and lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more. With a slam of her foot, Selena caused the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. She looks around as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Selena Frost back in the ring. She wanted to get this match done first so she could be prepared for whatever Xander could have planned.”

Knots: “Hell, the last time we saw Selena, she was being helped out as she had been thrown into the Chamber steel! The fact that she’s here is stunning!”

Sharper: “She’s cleared to compete, but regardless of whatever Xander Valentine did with regards to SCW, she still doesn’t trust him.”

The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the big screen. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine. The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from parts unknown, he is Casterillo!”

Casterillo looks at Selena as Selena watches him too.

Knots: “Speaking of people Selena probably doesn’t trust!”

Sharper: “Casterillo has been almost operating very differently. We heard from him last week.”

Knots: “Yeah. Like that matters to Selena. With her mindset.”

Sharper: “It’s going to take time. Casterillo alienated a lot of people so far in SCW.”

Casterillo continues to watch Selena. The bell sounds. Casterillo moves forward. Selena moves forward too and Casterillo goes for a grapple, but Selena quickly forearms him in the jaw. She forearms him again and again. Casterillo teeters and Selena evades to his side and shoot kicks him in the thigh. Casterillo winces. Selena kicks him again. Casterillo then grabs her and pushes her into the ropes. He gets her against them and fires her across. Selena bounces off and Selena jumps up and hits a dropkick. Casterillo hits the mat. Selena goes for the pin.

Casterillo kicks out. Selena gets up and Casterillo gets up. He turns and Selena forearms him in the jaw and then again. She runs into the ropes, bounces off and goes for a running dropkick. Casterillo sidesteps her. She hits the mat and winces and gets up and Casterillo knees her in the ribs. Selena stumbles off and to the ropes, holding them. She winces a bit. The referee comes over and checks on her.

Sharper: “Selena aggressive early on.”

Knots: “Probably wants to get it done fast to focus on Xander. But it may also be that she’s still got some pain.”

Sharper: “That knee brought her down. Her back, her ribs, still have to sore, likely bruised.”

Selena waves off Steve Hollinsworth, the referee, and gets up. She runs at Casterillo and Casterillo dodges a spinning crescent kick. Casterillo then turns and nails her with a clothesline. Selena gets up and turns and Casterillo scoops her up and slams her down. The crowd boos a bit. Casterillo looks up at the fans before turning to Selena. He drags her up and whips her across the ring. Selena bounces off and Casterillo scoops her up and hits a powerslam. He goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out. She rolls over and Casterillo pulls himself up and hits an elbow drop to her back. Selena rolls over in pain. She moves to the ropes. Casterillo walks over and grabs her. The referee calls for a break.

Casterillo backs up and looks at her. He sighs a bit as Selena starts to get up. Selena looks at him.

Sharper: “Casterillo backing away. Allowing Selena to get up.”

Knots: “That’s new.”

Selena then gets up and runs at Casterillo but Casterillo scoops her up and hits a sidewalk slam. Selena grimaces in pain. Casterillo pulls back on the legs.

Selena gets her shoulder up. Casterillo rolls off. He gets up as Selena rolls over. Casterillo pulls her up and Selena grabs his arm and wrenches it before hitting the Paydirt. The crowd ohs as Casterillo rolls over, holding his jaw. Selena rolls over and moves to the corner.

Sharper: “Selena hits Paydirt. That buys her time. But I think she underestimated the pain she’d be in in this one.”

Knots: “Doesn’t help that when Casterillo hits you, he hits hard. No soft shots from him.”

Casterillo starts to get up, holding his jaw. He turns around and Selena runs at him and leans forward. Casterillo grabs her instinctively going for a powerbomb, but Selena flips up and then grabs his head and drops down with a Samurai Driver. The crowd ohs. Selena rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Flipping up into the DDT!”

Knots: “May be in pain. Can still do flips and can still show off a bit!”

Casterillo pushes her off. Selena gets up as does Casterillo. Selena then hits a jumping enziguri kick to the head. Casterillo falls to a knee. Selena gets up and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and grabs Casterillo and hits a swinging neckbreaker. She goes for the pin.

Casterillo gets his shoulder up. Selena rolls off. She starts to get up and stomps Casterillo in the chest before jumping up and hitting a leg drop. She rolls over. She then turns and pulls herself to the corner. She starts to climb up to the top rope. Casterillo pulls himself up and Selena gets to the top rope and glances back. She dives back and goes for a twisting crossbody, but Casterillo catches her and then spins through and into a powerslam. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Spins through! Powerslam! Selena could be down and out!”

Knots: “Casterillo could beat her!”

Selena gets her shoulder up. Casterillo rolls off and looks out and then starts to get up, taking a deep breath with determination in his eyes. Selena rolls over, holding her lower back. Casterillo gets up and grabs Selena by the head. He drags her up and hooks her head. He hoists her up and holds her up. The crowd roars a bit and some boo as Casterillo keeps her up and drops her with a hanging vertical suplex. Casterillo turns and drags Selena up. He then turns and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off. Casterillo goes for the Thunder Run, but Selena ducks and stops. Casterillo turns and Selena goes for the Glass Shard. Casterillo catches her foot. He then pushes her back. Selena falls to the ropes. Casterillo runs at her and goes for a clothesline. Selena ducks and runs into the adjacent ropes. She jumps to the top rope and dives back and hits the Defying Gravity. Casterillo drops to the mat. Selena crawls over and rolls him over and falls onto him.

The crowd roars. Selena rolls off. The bell sounds.

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

“The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande plays as Selena sits up. She winces a bit and starts to slowly pull herself up. She holds her back before looking up and the official raises her arm. She steps back as Casterillo stirs.

Sharper: “Selena Frost fighting at the end, refusing to stop moving. The Defying Gravity being the difference.”

Knots: “Had to be. Casterillo had the Glass Shard scouted. Caught her and was about to make her say good night, instead of being the Winters’ Knight.”

Sharper: “And now she can focus on Xander Valentine. He’ll be joining us later.”

Knots: “You wonder if she’ll be taking a shower now or waiting until Xander has left.”

Sharper: “I don’t know what to expect.”

Selena backs away and steps through the ropes. She then drops down to the floor. She winces a bit as she then starts to walk to the back.

Backstage, we see Regan Street watching on the monitor. She steps back and turns as we see El Lucho Venti and El Lucho Grande walking by. El Lucho Grande quickly jumps back, throwing his coffee into the air. It crashes to the floor. Regan just rolls her eyes.

Regan: “Jesus…maybe cut that crap. Jumping just I turn around.”

Venti meanwhile keeps looking at Regan. Regan notices this.

Regan: “The hell is your problem.”

Nate Patrick comes over.

Patrick: “Oh guys. Just-“

Venti motions him over and whispers something in his ear. Nate gulps.

Patrick: “Uh…okay, you sure?”

Venti nods.

Patrick: “Ms. Street, El Lucho Venti would like to fill your opening.”

The crowd roars. Regan just looks at him stunned.

Regan: “What the hell did you just say?”

Venti slaps Patrick in the chest and whispers something else.

Patrick: “Oh…sorry…for a tag partner!”

Regan: “Aren’t you two…”

El Lucho Grande: “TV!”

Regan: “Uh huh…Yeah…I think you should stay as a team. Plus…I already have an option. But…thanks. And dumbass…listen to them right….”

Regan turns and walks off. Patrick looks a bit concerned as Venti smacks him in the chest again.

COMMERCIALS

The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play. As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face. He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering. Sutter heads to the ring. Van Stanton shakes his head and walks down with him.

Sharper: “What is he doing here?”

Knots: “Well he has a match later, Sharper!”

Sharper: “I mean now. That’s later tonight. He’ll be facing Asher Hayes in singles action.”

Knots: “Go and ask him.”

Sharper: “I think I’ll not.”

Sutter reaches the ring and storms up the steel steps. He chuckles a bit as he walks along the apron and enters the ring. Van Stanton walks around the ring and Sutter heads to the corner, but Van Stanton quickly grabs a microphone, preventing him from doing so. He turns back to the ring, walking up the stairs nearest him. Sutter says something to him. Van Stanton enters the ring and walks up to him. He says something back. He then walks forward as Sutter’s music fades out.

Van Stanton: “Ladies and gentlemen, I should make this clear that my client, Clyde Sutter, wanted to speak to you all here in Atlanta. I felt that he should prepare for his match against Asher, but his exact words were…”

Van Stanton turns to Sutter. Sutter smirks.

Van Stanton: “Screw him. I’ll kick his ass.”

Van Stanton then looks around as the crowd boos.

Van Stanton: “And he wanted me to add…not for Gavin Taylor’s sake.”

The crowd boos.

Knots: “He turned down the twenty dollars Canadian!”

Van Stanton: “Without further ado…Clyde Sutter.”

Sutter walks over and takes the microphone out of Van Stanton’s hand. Sutter chuckles a bit. He looks around.

Sutter: “Aw, come on. You can’t hate me that much. You’d do everything I did. I knocked the sanctimonious prick in the knee. I appreciate my mentor. And I’m gonna knock down and out another has been that’s taken up my spotlight.”

Sutter walks around.

Sutter: “But maybe a few people should understand what’s in front of them. Because I aint gonna be flashy. I don’t even need a scheme. I am what I am…and I’m an ass-kicker that is gonna do what I was put on this earth for and if you don’t like it, well here I am!”

Sutter smirks.

Sutter: “And just because I made Alistaire have to go crying to his father, a little bruise on the ankle, taking him out of action. Well thank God, I don’t have time to listen to the cub scout. I just-“

The opening beats to “All The Days" by Mammoth play throughout the arena. Sutter just smirks as Peyton Rice walks out from the back. She looks down at the ring, microphone in her hand. She heads down as Sutter’s smile gets bigger and bigger.

Sharper: “Peyton Rice heading to the ring. I don’t like this.”

Knots: “She’s been dating Alistaire Allocco right?”

Sharper: “She has and I think she’s going to step up to Sutter.”

Peyton Rice reaches the ring, greeted by cheers. She walks up the steel steps and goes into the ring. She looks across at Clyde Sutter. Sutter’s smile remains wide. Van Stanton walks up to him and Sutter turns, motioning with his hand to be calm. Peyton steps up as the music fades out.

Sutter: “Well aint this a pretty little surprise.”

Peyton: “Adam told me I should stay backstage. But I had to come out here and look you in the eyes.”

Sutter: “Why? Wanted to get a good look at a real man. I mean, I don’t really give a damn about the man upstairs, but I can certainly give you something to believe in!”

Peyton: “You’re a disgusting person.”

Sutter: “You barely know me.”

Peyton: “Attacking a former World Champion, happy, and taking pride, that you, in your words, Tonya Harding’d him. Just because you wanted to get a bit of spotlight. Just pathetic and exactly what so many of us are trying to stop!”

Sutter: “And so is that why you’re out here? I thought that was Asher’s job. I mean he stepped up last week. You just seemed little scared.”

Peyton: “Because I’m not going to just attack you. I’m going to come to this ring and call you out as a competitor. Even if I have no respect for you, I have principles. Principles that Alistaire and others stand for!”

Sutter: “Nah, aint that love…”

Sutter steps up and looks at her. He brings his hand up and runs it along her hair, brushing it past her ear. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Oh come on…”

Sutter: “I think ya just realized that ya want someone who is a bit less predictable and ya had eyes for me. And well…Alistaire aint here.”

Peyton shoves him back.

Peyton: “I have nothing but disdain for you. I came out here to challenge you for a match.”

Sutter: “Go on a date with me.”

Sharper: “This man is despicable!”

Peyton: “What is wrong with you?”

Sutter: “You…Then again, maybe you’re really thinking about that Devil guy and he’s in your head. But whatever. God on one side. Devil on the other. I’ll happily be in the middle.”

Peyton shoves him back.

Sutter: “Wanna play hard to get. Well…”

Sutter shoves her back and Peyton falls down. She starts to get up. She then balls up her fist. Sutter taps his chin.

Sutter: “Come on! Do it! Prove that you’re just like everyone else. Just wants it a bit rough and the rules…well….screw em!”

Peyton gets up and swings. Sutter stops her. Van Stanton steps in again. Sutter smirks. Peyton looks at Sutter before suddenly, the crowd roars as we see Glory Braddock running down from the back. She slides into the ring. Sutter then shoves Peyton down and Braddock turns and jumps up and nails him with a forearm shot. Sutter falls over and rolls to the corner. He laughs a bit as Glory steps forward.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock! She has no problem taking the free shot!”

Knots: “The different styles! Saw it at Rise to Greatness. See it tonight with Peyton and Glory. Peyton won’t take the cheap shot, even if its deserved. Glory will take the shot make it clear!”

Glory stands in the middle of the ring as Peyton starts to get up, looking at Clyde. Clyde pulls himself up as we then see Abigail Lindsay running out from the back. She runs down and slides into the ring. Glory turns and Abigail gets up and nails Glory down with a clothesline.

Sharper: “And now Abigail Lindsay! Just like last week! Unfinished business. Taking the attack from behind!”

Knots: “Peyton! She’s stopping her! Will step in to help others!”

Abigail turns and goes to dive onto her. Before she can, Peyton grabs her and pulls her off. Abigail rolls through. She gets up and throws a hard right, but Peyton blocks it and then pulls her into a hip toss before twisting into the Rice-A-Roni. Abigail rolls out of the ring and to the floor. Sutter calmly grabs the ropes, using it to slide himself out. Van Stanton exits to the floor. Glory gets up and looks at Peyton. Peyton turns to her before the two look over at Sutter and then Abigail. Abigail walks back and chuckles a bit as Sutter smirks at Abigail.

Knots: “Look at the look Sutter is giving Abigail Lindsay. I don’t think he’s looking for a date!”

Sharper: “Maybe he is. Who knows with him? But Abigail Lindsay and Clyde Sutter are cut from the same cloth. Peyton Rice and Glory Braddock meanwhile guarding each other. A long way from a few weeks ago where Glory and Alistaire Allocco had little respect. Peyton seems to respect her!”

Abigail Lindsay turns to Sutter. She winks at him. Sutter laughs as Van Stanton walks over to him. Abigail turns and starts to head to the back. Peyton and Glory stand tall in the ring as the crowd cheers and the scene cuts away.

Backstage, we see Jaina Lancaster, the daughter of Amy Chastaine, talking to Jessica Winters.

Jaina: “This is really nice, showing me around. I’ve seen some of it with mom and with Bree. But isn’t it a bit premature? I mean, I’ve not been hired yet. It was just a tryout.”

Jessica: “Relax. I’ve heard some of the buzz. You did well. You carry yourself well. I know there’s a desire to get some fresh faces. You’ve also got the background.”

Jaina: “Thanks…just…it’s weird. Coming in like this.”

Jessica: “It’ll get easier. It’s not the same, but I remember when I came over from Oblivion. Getting used to different things. Also just that you’re dealing with a lot of A-type personalities.”

Jaina: “That’s putting it mildly. At least with Kelsai coming back, cleared to compete, mom will be around if it gets a bit much.”

Jessica: “Nice to have some back-up. Speaking of…”

Jessica looks up as Bree Lancaster walks over.

Jessica: “Should I leave?”

Bree: “No…for once, I don’t care about the other company you keep. I heard Jaina did well. Will be an improvement.”

Jessica: “I should leave.”

Jaina: “Aunt Bree….”

Bree: “Please don’t.”

Bree sighs.

Bree: “Do you have any planned interviews with anyone that seems a bit odd?”

Jessica: “Don’t have too many tonight.”

Bree: “Of course. I’m trying to get a sense if Sasha even remembers she has one of the most talented champions of a generation on her roster.”

Jessica: “You could just ask her.”

Jaina: “You could…”

Bree: “We both know I won’t get a clear answer. So I guess I get to wait to see what games are going to be played…maybe Scott has better luck. Just after dealing with Derek, I’d like something more in my league.”

Bree turns to Jaina.

Bree: “Hope you’re getting used to all this. If Sasha doesn’t hire you, she proves Sienna and I 100% right…she hasn’t a clue.”

Bree turns and walks off. Jaina sighs watches her aunt leave before turning to Jessica.

Jaina: “Sorry about that.”

Jessica: “Don’t worry about it. Let’s go to catering. Can show you some of the in-show meals and entertainment.”

Jaina: “Lead on!”

The two walk off camera as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Clyde Sutter walking backstage as he smirks. Van Stanton runs up to him.

Van Stanton: “You need to be care-“

Sutter cuts him off.

Sutter: “I have something more important.”

Sutter walks over to Abigail Lindsay who is leaning against a wall.

Abigail: “Good work out there.”

Sutter: “Never cared for the pretty type.”

Abigail: “We have our proclivities. Just like I seem to have a thing for your mentor.”

Sutter: “I have plenty more use for her though.”

Abigail: “I’m sure you do…but well…always good to keep one’s eyes on another like-minded person.”

Abigail turns back as the woman we’ve seen leaving when Abigail has been seen, one Tamara Todd, walks over.

Abigail: “Because I’m focusing on me too.”

Abigail walks off as Sutter smirks and watches her leave.

El Lucho Grande vs. Aaron Blackbourne

SCW Television Championship

The arena goes dark and the opening riff of “Escribe Una Canción” starts to play. As the intro pauses, the sound of a shotgun being cocked is heard. As the music kicks back in, headlamps appear through the curtain and a tiny coffee truck drives out onto the stage. The lights raise as the tuk tuk pauses at the top of the ramp and while Nate Patrick is behind the wheel, El Lucho Grande and El Lucho Venti are actually holding onto the sides of the truck, throwing coffee beans around, which some of the fans try to catch. Nate beeps the horn a couple times then sets off driving down the ramp slowly, as Grande and Venti continue to toss beans out.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. The challenger, from Soconusco in Mexico, driven to the ring by Nate Patrick, accompanied by El Lucho Venti, he is El Lucho Grande!

The tuk tuk reaches the bottom of the ramp and Grande and Venti jump down from the sides and open the panels up to reveal a coffee machine and several coffees already waiting. The cups have the Lucho Brothers logo on them and Grande and Venti begin to hand them out to fans at ringside as Nate climbs out of the cab and shuts the door behind him. Eventually, Nate manages to turn them towards the ring and the masked mystery men slide in and play up to the fans as Nate settles in at ringside.

Sharper: “El Lucho Grande about to compete for his first singles title. These two are very decorated tag competitors from Mexico.”

Knots: “Branching out. Going to try and develop one-off stores to peddle their coffee instead of chains.”

Sharper: “What are you on?”

Knots: “Hey. I’m just saying!”

Sharper: “Saying what?!”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. When the lyrics kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations. When the song hits the chorus, pyro suddenly goes off on the stage in sync with the creative soul himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Seattle, Washington, he is the SCW Television Champion, Aaron Blackbourne!”

The lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed, as Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, happily accepting high fives from the fans with a smile. The SCW Television Championship sits over his shoulder. As he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in the same raised and outstretched pose as before, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead. He hands the title to the official, Michael Constantine. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne making his second defense, but the world still buzzing over Shilo Valiant returning to challenge him and then leaving half way.”

Knots: “We still don’t know why. Blackbourne, I’m sure, he has plenty on his mind. Probably half of that is that Shilo is nuts. But we already knew that!”

Sharper: “He needs to focus on Grande here though.”

The bell sounds. Grande lunges at Blackbourne. Blackbourne jukes back. The two circle a bit more before lunging and locking up in the middle of the ring. Blackbourne turns and wrenches the arm. Grande winces. Blackbourne jerks on it. Grande looks up and grabs the arm and pushes up and ducks down and around and moves into a side headlock. Blackbourne pulls back and into the ropes and fires him off. Grande bounces off the other side and Blackbourne steps forward, but Grande shoulders him down. Grande turns and runs into the ropes. Blackbourne rolls over and Grande steps over and stops and hits an elbow drop to the back of Blackbourne. He rolls him over and goes for the pin.

Blackbourne kicks out. He rolls over and Grande gets up and gives him a thumbs up. Blackbourne look at him and nods, getting up. Grande and him circle the ring.

Sharper: “Grande showing he may have a few tricks.”

Knots: “Blackbourne’s the creative one. Grande just told him that he’s got a few ideas.”

Blackbourne and Grande lock-up in the middle of the ring again. They push back on one another. Grande this time backs up and spins Blackbourne into the corner. He then hits an overhead chop to the chest and then kicks him in the ribs. He whips Blackbourne across. Grande runs after and Blackbourne gets a knee up and then pushes off the corner and into a flying clothesline. Grande hits the mat. Both men get up and Blackbourne kicks him in the ribs and hooks him up by the head. He goes for a vertical suplex, but Grande blocks it. He then turns and spins around him. Blackbourne turns but right into a knee from Grande. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Blackbourne bounces off and Grande hoists him up into a flapjack before letting him drop, only to nail him with a hard right on the way down. He goes for the pin.

Blackbourne pushes him off. He rolls over and shakes it off. Grande turns and grabs him. He pulls him up.

Sharper: “A bit more aggressiveness from Grande.”

Knots: “Well yeah. Wants to be TV Champion. Probably to promote their mediocre coffee!”

Grande runs him over to the corner. Blackbourne turns and looks at him and Grande hits another overhead chop before hitting a European uppercut. Blackbourne grimaces. Grande grabs him and goes to whip him across. Blackbourne spins through and pulls him into the knee. Grande winces and Blackbourne grabs him and locks in a pumphandle before throwing Grande overhead with a pumphandle suplex. The crowd ohs. Grande rolls over to the ropes. He starts to get up and Blackbourne pulls him back from the ropes, hoists him up and hits a back suplex into a backbreaker. He throws him down and hooks the leg.

Grande kicks out. Blackbourne gets up and immediately hits a jumping knee drop. He rolls through. He turns to the corner. Grande rolls over and stirs. Blackbourne then runs at him and hits a knee to the ribs. Grande rolls over and moves to the ropes. He stirs.

Sharper: “Blackbourne using those knees to try and wear Grande down.”

Knots: “Yeah. Force the air out. More important than coffee. And no amount of caffeine will help through that!”

El Lucho Venti looks on as does Nate Patrick. Grande gets up and turns around and Blackbourne kicks him in the ribs. He then pulls him in and hits an exploder suplex. He hooks the leg.

Grande kicks out. He rolls over and Blackbourne gets up. Grande crawls to the ropes. Blackbourne walks over to him and Grande hits an elbow to the jaw. Blackbourne stumbles back and Grande turns and runs at him and spins around and hits a snap German into a bridge.

Blackbourne kicks out. Both men start to get up, both in pain. They run at one another and Grande hits a dropkick. Blackbourne rolls over. Grande moves to the corner. He starts to walks over and grabs Blackbourne and Blackbourne suddenly grabs him, hooking his head and locking in a sleeper before hoisting him up and hitting a sleeper slam. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Blackbourne thinking quick and muscling Grande up after that sleeper hold.”

Knots: “Driving him down. Venti! Get him a coffee!”

Sharper: “You’re just running through the coffee jokes tonight.”

Knots: “Not as quickly as their coffee runs through the average person!”

Blackbourne gets up and turns and just as he does…

“MAKE ME LAUGH”

Shilo: “Blackbourne….come on…you should be dealing with this. You are my heir after-all!”

The crowd roars, hearing the voice of Shilo. Blackbourne looks around and then turns around, refocusing on Grande, before Grande suddenly hits a leg trip, sending Blackbourne face first to the canvas. He starts to get up and Grande grabs him and pulls him back before hitting the Atrapasueños. The crowd ohs and Grande dives for the pin. Shilo starts to tut tut.

Shilo: “Please not like this…”

The crowd roars and then looks on stunned as El Lucho Grande rolls over. He looks around and Venti looks stunned. Patrick jumps up and down and runs over and grabs the SCW Television Championship. He turns and rolls into the ring. He heads over and hands Grande the title.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and NEW SCW Television Champion, El Lucho Grande!”

Knots: “He actually is champion of television!”

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant’s voice getting Blackbourne’s attention for a split-second.”

Knots: “Grande took advantage. He may be as good as they claim he is!”

Sharper: “He’s holding SCW gold now. And El Lucho Brothers are victorious against Aaron Blackbourne!”

The El Lucho Brothers theme music plays as Grande holds the title over his head. He drops down to the floor as Venti heads around and they celebrate a bit. They turn and start to grab coffee from their tuk-tuk and handing it out to random fans before continuing to celebrate. Just then, on the big screen, we see a shot of Shilo Valiant, seemingly backstage. Shilo shakes his head as Blackbourne rolls over, holding his head and neck.

Shilo: “I am truly disappointed Aaron.”

Shilo sighs.

Shilo: “And here I thought the rumours could be true. There was someone who could take up my mantle and bring a splash of colour to the drab. Someone who could be here for the entertainment. Someone who was DIFFERENT. And instead, I see another fraud. Goodbye Aaron. You don’t deserve my mentorship.”

Shilo then turns and walks off. El Lucho Venti turns to the ring before turning back as Blackbourne starts to look up, showing a bit of anger before smacking the canvas. He then looks at the stage before seeing El Lucho Grande and Venti, along with Nate Patrick, leave up the rampway holding the SCW Television Championship.

Spirit Dansby is backstage at the SCW interview area as Scarlet Grey can be seen with her.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m Spirit Dansby and I’m here with Scarlet Grey who will be facing off against Rachel Tatum Lee in eleven days for a shot at the SCW United States Championship. Scarlet, you’ve been clear in your issues with how you’ve been booked, feeling you’ve never gotten a full opportunity. That said, Rachel Tatum Lee is a different form of an opponent.”

Scarlet: “And what leads you to say that. See, I just see someone else who wants to use brute force when there are other ways. She returns. I gather she was a big deal in the past.”

Scarlet smirks and shrugs, intentionally using this opportunity to draw attention to her cleavage.

Scarlet: “Well I am a big deal now and I’ve just never gotten the opportunity. I get this. So if she’s a big deal and I defeat her, well then what. I get a US Championship shot, an opportunity I like would not have gotten much look at before showing what I’m capable of. I injured Datura. I took her out. We’re not sure if she’s going to return. Not even Regan Street could do that. Hear that Rachel…I may look good, but I am also very good in that ring. Everyone still sees me as the lovelorn puppy dog that tried to convince Aaron Blackbourne he could actually get someone worth his time. He settled. His loss. I’ve moved on and after having some fun with Gavin Taylor to get people’s attention…I have the perfect showcase this Sunday-“

Bree Lancaster then comes into view.

Bree: “Hey Spirit…Scarlet…”

Spirit: “Bree, we’re on air.”

Bree: “I know. Just, Scarlet, you don’t see eye to eye with Sasha? Right?”

Scarlet: “Do you need to ask? She has a problem with this?”

Scarlet intentionally shows herself off.

Bree: “Yeah, well, I want to tell you this…I want you to show Rachel that she’s putting her little cart before her horse. She thinks she can walk in and humiliate me at the Boston Bree Party and then go after this…I would be honoured to face you for this title.”

Scarlet: “Don’t try to manipulate me Bree. I know you don’t believe a word of that or else you’d be offering the chance to face you that night instead of Rachel. You need me to beat her to derail her hopes. I plan to do that anyway…And then maybe…I can show you that you, and everyone in SCW, needs to stop judging a book by its cover…Even if it looks damn perfect.”

Scarlet turns and walks off. Bree looks around and looks annoyed as she turns to Spirit.

Bree: “Sorry.”

Bree heads off.

Corey Reyes vs. Maddy Steward

The lights in the arena begin to dim and smoke begins to cover the top of the ramp as "Heart vs. Mind" begins to play throughout the arena. A spotlight shines on the top of the ramp as we see Corey Reyes on one knee with his arms spread out like a cross.

Phillips: “On his way to the ring, from Cleveland, Ohio… COREY REYES!”

He lets out a scream as he rises up to his feet. Corey then begins to walk down the ramp and once he makes it to the middle of the ramp he runs the rest of the way, slides into the ring, and then stands in the middle of the ring with a smile on his face. He starts pacing around the ring trying to hype himself up and the fans in the arena.

Sharper: “Reyes is a newcomer to SCW in search of his first victory, and a win over an established name like Maddy Steward would certainly help turn his fortunes around.”

Knots: “Normally you wouldn’t think of Maddy as the win to do such a thing, but after losing to a man obsessed with theater, anything will wash that taste out of your mouth!”

“That Girl’s a Genius” blasts through the arena and the camera pans a wide shot and to show the crowd’s pop for the youngest of the Steward clan. The camera changes as it switches to the stage entrance where Madison walks out dress in her dark black ring attire and wearing a steampunk white rabbit mask. She stops on the stage and feeds off the crowd’s energy that gets her pumped. She takes off down the aisle sprinting to the ring and slides inside it. She gets up on her knees and takes off her mask bopping her head to the music and smiles to the crowd. Madison picks herself up and takes off her black ring coat and gets ready for her match and her music fades out.

Sharper: “Maddy, meanwhile, could use this win not just for her, but for all the Stewards to gain some momentum after their return to the company.”

Knots: “She and Gigi failed to knock off the coffee-loving luchadors two weeks ago and Katie fell to Rachel Tatum Lee last week. A win tonight could go a long way in fixing everything for them.”

The bell rings and both competitors approach one another and lock up. Reyes quickly uses his size to his advantage with a go-behind before lifting Maddy up and planting her on the mat with an amateur-style takedown. He tries to float over into a front facelock, but Maddy slips away before he can get it applied. Reyes is quicker to his feet, though, and catches her with a knee to the gut before following up with a dropkick. Steward rolls over to the ropes and starts to use them to pull herself to her feet as Reyes measures her before bouncing off the opposite ropes and charging in, but Maddy ducks down and low bridges him as he goes over the top rope. He manages to hang on and pull himself to the apron, and when Maddy tries to grab him he nails her with a forearm to get her to back away. He springboards off the top rope but gets caught in midair by a front dropkick from Steward!

Sharper: “A fairly back and forth start to this contest so far.”

Knots: “Reyes is new and Maddy just came back with the rest of the Stewards. Considering they both lost last time they were in the ring, they know they can’t afford any mistakes tonight.”

Reyes starts to get back to his feet, but once he’s to his knees Maddy grabs him and plants him with a DDT. After taking a moment to look between him and the corner, she goes to start climbing to the top turnbuckle. Once she’s to the top, however, Reyes has started trying to get back to his feet again. She leaps off for a diving crossbody, only for Reyes to catch her with a leaping knee strike! After taking a moment to shake off the cobwebs, Reyes brings Steward back to her feet before connecting with an exploder suplex! He goes for the cover.

1!

2!

Maddy kicks out! Reyes is undeterred as he brings her back to her feet and irish whips her into the opposite corner before following in with a leaping forearm. The impact is enough to drop Maddy to a seated position, and Reyes bolts across the ring and bounces off the turnbuckles before running in and connecting with a double knee smash! He pulls Maddy away from the corner and goes for another pin.

2!

Maddy kicks out!

Sharper: “Reyes is starting to pick up the pace now, trying to end this sooner rather than later.”

Knots: “It’s a sound strategy by this kid, but the youngest of the Steward clan’s still been here for quite some time and has taken far worse.”

Reyes starts to pull Maddy a little further away from the corner before he steps over her to start climbing, but before he can do that he’s suddenly grabbed from behind in a schoolgirl pin!

1!

2!

Reyes kicks out! He’s quicker to get back to his feet than Maddy is and blasts her upside the head with a roundhouse kick to ground her again! He moves to the corner once more and climbs to the second turnbuckle. He takes a second to look behind himself to make sure Steward is still in place before leaping off with a moonsault, but Maddy rolls towards the corner! Reyes manages to land on his feet, however, and charges in as she starts trying to use the turnbuckles to get back to her feet, only for her to roll past him and charge towards the ropes, where she springboards off the second one into a corkscrew arm drag! Reyes tries to get back to his feet, but Maddy bounces off the ropes behind him and grabs him for a bulldog! He starts getting back to his feet again after a moment, but Maddy leaps onto his back and applies a sleeper hold!

Sharper: “Maddy pouring everything she has into trying to wear the bigger competitor out.”

Knots: “You’re probably not going to say that too often when it comes to Corey Reyes, but Maddy’s no stranger to this scenario.”

Reyes stumbles around for a moment as Maddy clings to his back, wearing him down with the sleeper. The referee checks in with him when he finally starts to stand still, but he refuses to submit. Reaching behind himself, he manages to find a moment of separation in Maddy’s grip to swing her around and plant her with a sit-out spinebuster! He takes a moment to try and clear the cobwebs as he backs away, watching her carefully as he measures her. She slowly starts to get back to her feet, looking to be in a bit of a daze, and once she’s to her knees Reyes charges in, perhaps looking for the CR5, but she manages to cut him off with a basement dropkick that cuts his legs out from under him and sends him facefirst into the middle turnbuckle! Seeing her opening, Maddy rolls out to the apron and starts climbing to the top while Reyes is getting his bearings. She grabs him by the head and brings him up to the second turnbuckle before flipping over him and connecting with the Reverse Cowgirl! She holds him for the pin.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings and “That Girl’s a Genius” hits again as Maddy rolls away, the referee raising her arm in victory as a huge smile appears on her lips once the realization sinks in.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… MADISON STEWARD!”

Sharper: “A win that Maddy desperately needed, especially as the Stewards try to find their foothold in SCW once again.”

Knots: “And certainly not the start to his SCW career that Reyes wanted. If he wants to turn things around, he’s going to need to figure this out and soon.”

Maddy rolls out of the ring and practically skips up the ramp in joy at her victory as Reyes starts to come to, looking disappointed at his winless start to his SCW career thus far.

The scene cuts backstage to see James Evans walking down the hallway.

Sharper: “Folks, a lot to come tonight, but I think James Evans is heading on his way to the ring! Last week he called out the masked woman that has been attacking him-“

Knots: “Maybe trying again?”

Sharper: “We’ll find out, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The opening of “Door to Door Cannibals" can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a positive reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The cheers intensify as James looks out at the crowd.

Sharper: “Last week James Evans, live on Breakdown from London, called out the other masked woman. Demanding they come out to end all of this. The other masked man caught two weeks ago.”

Knots: “Security now knows him. We don’t know how they’re getting in, but they are!”

Sharper: “James Evans I assume will be calling out the masked woman tonight too. He wants to end this. He could be looking at a World Championship match and it’s being derailed by their actions!”

James then starts to walk down to the ring. He reaches the ring, grabbing the ropes and pulling himself up onto the apron. He then steps into the ring. He walks around, looking around, stopping a moment to scan the arena.

Sharper: “Almost like he’s trying to find them.”

Knots: “Do you blame him? If they’re here, they’ve been busy. But they’ve usually come from the back too.”

James then turns and walks over to the corner, grabbing a microphone waiting for him. He takes it and walks back to the middle of the ring. He looks around before taking a moment as his music fades out. James listens to the crowd before starting to speak.

James: “It’s been a week…”

James paces a bit.

James: “I’ve already exposed one of you and I have no answers. There’s a second one. And of course, it’s a second one that also happens to be a woman. Playing to everything I’ve been criticized for in the past.”

James scoffs.

James: “I’ve tried to move on but you’re trying to play to all of my problems. I don’t know who’s behind it. I have ideas, but the fact is that when I’m told He will come for me and that I’ve lost it all. Well, I’m not believing in God. I’m just looking to get this dealt with. Two weeks ago, Sasha was going to announce me as being part of a World Championship match and thanks to these masked thorns…well, we’re waiting.”

James pauses.

James: “So…if he will come for me, well I want she to come for me!”

The crowd roars. James looks around the arena.

James: “I figured maybe you could make it international last week while we were in London. Well we’re in Atlanta. The good ole US of A…so…masked woman…here’s your chance. Make whoever is behind this proud. I’m right here!”

James looks around some more.

James: “I’ll even turn away from the rampway so you can run out and get the first shot!”

James turns, extending his arms, looking out to the crowd, looking away from the rampway and the big screen.

Sharper: “He’s trying anything to goad that masked woman.”

Knots: “He just wants answers!”

James continues to look away from the rampway. He drops the microphone, causing the thud to echo. He continues to look out, closing his eyes. The crowd then roars as we see a masked woman running down from the back. The woman runs down to the ring and slides into the ring. She gets up and looks at James. She then runs over to him and nails him from behind. James falls forward into the ropes, but remains on his feet. The woman backs up and looks around. James turns around and looks at her. The woman continues to look around and James goes to step forward before we see two masked men hop the barricade and another masked woman.

Sharper: “What the hell is this? There’s more of them!”

Knots: “A lot more! Two men. One woman. I can tell you that one out there is a woman! She’s not hiding it!”

James looks around at the group of masked individuals. The two men then slide into the ring. James quickly meets on with a knee to the side of their head as they start to get up. He rolls over and he turns and grabs the other. The masked man nails James with a couple of shots to the ribs before the first woman clubs James in the back. James elbows her in the ribs and she falls back before James clubs the man in the back and then again. The woman on the floor slides in and runs at James. James ducks and lifts her up and back drops her before he lifts the second man up and takes him over with a single arm suplex. James gets up and immediately is cracked by a superkick from the first man, the one he knocked over. The crowd boos as James hits the mat, holding his jaw.

Sharper: “James overwhelmed and a superkick knocks him down!”

Knots: “Caught him right in the jaw.”

Sharper: “I’ve seen that superkick before…”

Just then, the first woman runs over and stomps James in the face and then again before reaching into her tights, pulling out a set of handcuffs. She clips them to James’ arm. James spins around and we see the second woman running over and nailing James over and over in the lower back. The man who superkicked James and the first woman then drag James over and handcuff him to the bottom rope. The crowd boos as James tries to fight before the second woman pulls their mask off, revealing themselves to be Syren. The crowd boos loudly.

Sharper: “I knew that superkick looked familiar. It’s CHBK! It’s Ravyn Taylor! It’s Alexander Crowe…and it’s Syren!”

Knots: “Wait! Why are they going after James? They saw the tape…They’re blaming James?!”

Sharper: “Clearly Infamous using the masked M.O. to get the drop on James, knowing he would call out that other woman.”

Knots: “So where’s that woman?!”

CHBK and Ravyn pull off their masks as the boos continue. Syren then turns and starts to kick away at James. James takes each shot, looking at Syren with pure hate.

Syren: “You screwed me out of MY title! This is just the start James! You don’t f[bleep] with Infamous! You don’t screw with ME and MY Title!”

Syren continues to stomp away on James. James tries to get up, but CHBK stomps him in the head as Crowe and Syren stand across from James. Crowe takes cheap shots at him as Syren keeps yelling at him. Ravyn keeps watch.

Sharper: “They are mugging James Evans here tonight! He’s handcuffed. He can barely defend himself!”

Knots: “And he’s just looking right at Syren the entire time. Letting her go right after him!”

Sharper: “CHBK, Crowe, both taking cheap shots. The pack mentality on display!”

Knots: “And Syren won’t shut up!”

James tries to get up again and Crowe kicks him in the face. Syren then drops down and starts to hammer away on James. James then manages to throw a headbutt. Syren jukes back. The crowd roars and immediately, CHBK and Crowe shut him down again. James tries to move around, but with his arm trapped, he has few options. Syren then rolls out of the ring as CHBK and Crowe start to push James under the bottom rope and to the floor. Just then, we see Syren going over to a small black bag, presumably brought when they arrived at ringside. Officials start to make their way out from the back. Ravyn and CHBK drop down to the floor. They start to stop them as Syren continues her plan.

Sharper: “What in the world is that? They’ve moved James to the floor…”

Knots: “Syren going to give him a makeover?”

Syren opens it and rummages through it before pulling out a chain. She then starts to drag it over.

Syren: “Want to cut a hole so I’d nearly DIE. Well, time for you to see why it was a stupid idea.”

James: “Bring it, Syren!”

Syren then turns and swings, whipping James in the ribs with the chain. The crowd ohs. She then turns and swings, and catches him in the shoulder and head. James falls to a knee. Syren looks at the chain and swings it around a bit, trying to get some flare and having some fun before slamming it into James’ back. James falls over as we then see Jake Starr and Jordan Majors running out from the back. Starr and Majors both have chairs in their hands. They run down and CHBK and Ravyn back away as Syren gets one more shot in on James. James drops to his knees and looks up, seething, some blood coming from his ear. Crowe gets Syren’s attention. Syren drops the chair before the two head around the ring.

Sharper: “The damage done, but here comes Jordan Majors and Jake Starr. Both brandishing chairs!”

Knots: “Jordan Majors looking to use Jake’s gift to her!”

Sharper: “Infamous getting huddled in the corner, ready to make a getaway!

Knots: “But Syren is supposed to face Jordan Majors next!”

Sharper; “You’re right. But chaos all over here thus far!”

Syren looks in the ring as Jordan Majors steps over and points to her. Syren just waives her off as she heads over to the barricade. Starr watches them too as the crowd cheers. Officials check on James as James pulls himself, clearly in pain, leaning on the ring apron and glaring at Syren as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as Jordan Majors and Jake Starr remain in the ring. Jake Starr plays to the crowd, holding his chair up as the crowd cheers. Syren rolls her eyes as she turns to CHBK, pointing to the ring and yelling about what she’s seeing. Ravyn tries to calm her down as Crowe walks over to watch James Evans.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. We’ve had a bit of a delay here thanks to James Evans being handcuffed to the ring ropes.”

Knots: “Ravyn conveniently forgetting the key…yeah…”

Sharper: “Refusing to give it to the officials and you can see, right now, they’re freeing James Evans with the use of bolt cutters.”

At the ringside area, we see James pulling away, clearly incensed as two officials try to break through the handcuffs. They attempt once, with no luck, before succeeding on the second try. James pulls away and turns and starts to go around the ring, but officials stop him. Crowe backs away, laughing as James falls over to the barricade and then pulls himself up, holding his ear.

Knots: “Ear could be damaged. You see the blood. He could have lost his equilibrium here.”

Sharper: “Quite possible. Not good for James Evans. But he wants Syren! He wants revenge already. Officials protecting him from himself at this point!”

Syren just watches as James is forced back. James keeps trying to fight this as the officials drag him around the ring as a pack and over toward the rampway.

Syren vs. Jordan Majors

Jordan Majors meanwhile is taunting Syren who turns to her. Jake steps up on the middle turnbuckle looking down at Infamous. Ravyn Taylor ignores them. Jake then turns and drops down. He walks over and asks a microphone. Jason Phillips hands him one. James continues to be forced to the back. Starr turns to Infamous.

Starr: “Hey! You wanted to have a fight. Beating down James. Well Syren, you don’t need to go looking too far. Here we are. You got Jordan here tonight. Come on in the ring. Jordan needs to finish the trifecta!”

Starr backs up as Jordan Majors backs up. Syren turns to the ring.

Syren: “We have more important things to worry about than you two looking to make your names matter against us!”

Starr steps up.

Starr: “Oh we don’t matter. It doesn’t matter that Jordan Majors has beat Ravyn twice and you’ve tried to take her out. No, Syren, it does matter because you’ve got to deal with us and if you, of all people, know that I’m not going to stop being the thorn in your side!”

Syren turns.

Syren: “You didn’t try to take me out. You’re just an annoyance!”

Sharper: “Did you hear her?”

Knots: “I think so. Sounds like they think James had something to do with it.”

Sharper: “More not think. But…”

Syren then starts to walk around the ring. CHBK, Ravyn and Alexander Crowe follow.

Sharper: “Are they leaving?!”

The crowd boos as Syren just ignores the ring, shaking her head. Just as Syren starts to go to the rampway and head to the back. Jordan Majors rolls her eyes.

Starr: “Really? Just gonna walk. This is the best in the world, folks!”

Starr shakes his head and walks around before we then see Sasha walking out from the back, just after a couple of officials disappear to the back, still dealing with James. Sasha has a microphone in her hand. Syren takes a few steps.

Sasha: “Well Syren, good to see that you took advantage of the information that CHBK was able to get for you.”

Syren yells at Sasha.

Syren: “Making sure we get our revenge!”

Sasha: “Well you have a choice now Syren, because the fact is that I’m not happy about any of this.”

Sharper: “Sasha agreeing with Syren?”

Knots: “What information?”

Sasha: “I’ll deal with James right now and tonight, but after your little stunt, I’m not in a mood to see you walk to the back acting like you’re done. You are a contracted competitor to SCW. So you have a choice – if you want me to consider anything more in this situation, you’re going to get in that ring and give these fans the match they came to see against Jordan Majors!”

Syren looks around. She turns to CHBK. She turns back. Syren rolls her eyes and then turns and storms toward the ring. Jordan Majors continues to look on as Syren then turns and runs into the ring.

Sharper: “Syren not in the mood for this, but Sasha knowing where Syren’s head is at!”

Knots: “She wants more against James. For her. Hell, maybe she wants the World Title handed to her, but she’s going for Jordan Majors!”

Sharper: “And with no respect, just right after her! And look out!”

Syren goes for a hard right, but Jordan ducks and stops and turns. Syren turns around and Jordan hits a straight kick to the chest. Syren falls over and rolls over. She starts to get up. A referee, Steve Hollinsworth, runs down from the back. Starr exits the ring as he grabs Jordan’s chair to pull it out. Hollinsworth slides in and calls for the bell. Ravyn looks up and gets up on the apron as Syren starts to pull herself up. Jordan turns and lunges at Ravyn. Ravyn falls off as the crowd cheers. Jordan turns around and Syren runs over and forearms her in the jaw and then again.

Sharper: “Ravyn on the apron and got caught!”

Knots: “But creating the opening for Syren!”

Syren grabs Jordan and spins her around and into the corner. Jordan hits back first and Syren kicks her in the ribs and then again. Syren grabs her and whips her across. Jordan hits the opposite corner. Syren runs after and goes for a running clothesline. Jordan gets an elbow up. Syren staggers back. Jordan runs out and kicks her in the ribs and nails her with a hard right and then jumps up and hits a jumping calf kick to the jaw. Syren rolls over. Jordan turns and goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Majors with a hard clothesline. Discus style and drilling Syren in the jaw!”

Knots: “She’s stepping up to former World Champion! Syren maybe taking her lightly and Jordan has come to kick ass!”

Syren gets up and Jordan hits a shoot kick to the chest. Syren stumbles back and over to the ropes. Jordan forearms her in the chest. Jordan then hits a European uppercut. Syren falls to the ropes. Jordan then goes to whip her across, but Syren spins through and sends her in and Syren runs at her and clotheslines her down. Jordan starts to get up and Syren dives onto her and nails her in the back of the head before hammering her over and over again. Jordan covers up. Syren gets up and stomps her in the back of the head. The crowd boos as she walks around the ring.

Sharper: “And Syren just knocks her down and almost frustrated, hammering away!”

Knots: “Jordan covering up but she got a few good shots in.”

Syren kicks her in the ribs and then again. Syren whips her across the ring. Syren runs after and goes for a clothesline. She hits it and backs up. Jordan staggers forward, wincing in pain, leaning on Syren. Syren then hoists her up and places her on the top rope. She moves Jordan’s legs and nails her with a hard right. Syren then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. She goes to hook Jordan, but Jordan nails her with a hard right and then another. She drills her again and Syren falls back but is hooked on the ropes. Syren sits up as Jordan steps up and jumps up and hits a double stomp. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Double stomp! Jordan off the top rope and right to the chest!”

Knots: “Syren has something to help the impact, but still driven down!’

Jordan rolls over as Syren rolls away from the ropes. Jordan moves back and grabs Syren and drags her up before pulling her up and hitting a northern lights suplex into a bridge.

Syren gets her shoulder up. The crowd roars. Jordan rolls over. Syren looks up as Jordan gets up before pulling Syren up. Jordan then whips her into the corner.

Jordan exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. She then looks at Syren. She dives off and goes for a frog splash, but Syren rolls out of the way. Jordan hits hard and rolls over in pain. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Syren moved! The frog splash. Inspired by her brother, Jake…”

Knots: “And not what she wanted. Syren already eying up a way to end this fast. She’s not happy. Jordan Majors has been owning her!”

Syren sits up and looks at Jordan. Jordan starts to get up on her hands and knees and Syren walks over and grabs her and hits a DDT. The crowd ohs. Syren turns and hooks the leg.

Jordan rolls over to the ropes.

Sharper: “Syren just hammering away again.”

Knots: “Just think, she used to be one of the best.”

Sharper: “Could still be. But happy to flout the rules, closed fists, using the ropes. Blind-side attacks…”

Syren turns as Jordan starts to get up and Syren grabs her, drags her up before hooking her up and hitting a back suplex. Jordan rolls over.

The crowd boos. Syren rolls off. The bell sounds.

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

Syren gets up and Starr looks into the ring. Syren however rolls out of the ring and to the floor. She then looks at Jordan and Jake before turning around. She starts to head to the back, holding her arm up. Ravyn just smirks as she starts to follow after her. CHBK and Crowe take up the rear.

Sharper: “Syren managing to hit the Total Makeover for the three before just getting up and leaving.”

Knots: “Jordan Majors kicked her ass and Syren just wants to get out of there!”

Sharper: “Maybe wants to go and demand more. I don’t know. Jake Starr meanwhile immediately willing to get in there to defend his sister if need be.”

Knots: “He does have two chairs and they are related so…”

Sharper; “Well yeah, I said sister.”

Knots: “I meant the chairs.”

Just as Infamous leaves through the curtain, we cut backstage to see Christy Matthews on the phone, talking to someone, while pacing a bit.

Christy: “Just call me when she’s down.”

Christy then hangs up and suddenly, we see Kim Williams run into the room and nails Christy in the head. Christy falls over as Kim dives onto her and hammers away on her with a series of hard rights before starting to pull out some duct tape from her coat. Christy struggles a bit as Kim falls back and into the cameraman. The cameraman falls over.

Sharper: “Kim Williams attacking Christy Matthews! Matthews attacked Marie Jones at Under Attack! She’s going for revenge!”

Knots: “Trying to do something. She had duct tape! The rest of Infamous is just leaving the ring!”

The scene cuts to black for a few moments.

Sharper: “We’ve lost video…”

We cut to another part of the arena to see James Evans seated in the trainer’s room with Sasha. A few officials are with her.

James: “Let me get out there…”

Sasha: “I’m not…James…why?”

James looks down.

Sasha: “We have footage. I didn’t think Infamous had come up to see it, but they had someone see it. We have footage of you tampering with the Chamber.”

James then looks up at Sasha.

James: “Let me ask you something Sasha…if SCW didn’t have Sienna or Syren, would it not be better?”

Sasha: “That’s debateable, but at the same time, both can go in that ring. And you risked everyone’s safety.”

James: “I’d do it again.”

Sasha: “I know…and that’s a problem.”

James: “Well it’s a problem you can solve. Give me Syren in the ring. You know she’ll want to face me. I’m easy to keep happy. You have people come after me and fight. Syren doesn’t fight! Sienna doesn’t fight…make her have to fight. Make her EARN everything she God damned demands. Like I’ve had to for over TWO YEARS!”

Sasha: “I’ll think about it James…but I hope you realize what you’ve done.”

Sasha turns and walks off as James nods.

James: “I realize everything I’ve done. That’s why I’m sitting right here.”

Sasha turns and walks off. The camera focuses on the door as it closes.

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as we see a shot of Dean Black and a few security guards over by a door. The door opens as Xander Valentine steps out with Artemis. The crowd roars and then boos.

Sharper: “He is back and he’s got time. We will here from Xander Valentine next, here on Breakdown.”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The feedback over the PA system, as if a jack is plugged into an amplifier rips through the arena. While the noise attracts the attention of the crowd, spotlights, one after another shine down onto the stage. The familiar chords of "The Fade to Black" crackles on the sound system as smoke begins to hover on the stage. A shadow stands behind an illuminated curtain, by this point the crowd already caught up in a frenzy. The song's interlude cuts shorts as the lyrics begin:

“Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free”

As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander steps out behind the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the ramp. Boos starts to hail down on him, but there is some cheers beneath. Behind him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As she stops and positions herself behind Xander.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine and Artemis walking into an arena with fans and allowed to do so, the first time since August.”

Knots: “You can see security in the crowd though. Whatever has been decided, whatever has been agreed to, Sasha and SCW are taking no chances.”

Xander then starts to make his way down to the ring. Artemis follows a few strides behind. They reach the ring and as they do, we see Dean Black walking out from the back with a couple more security members. Xander Valentine reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then looks at the ring and then out to the crowd. The crowd boos him. Artemis walks up after and steps into the ring. Xander then slowly steps into the ring. He turns to the middle of the ring where a microphone is waiting for him.

Sharper: “Notice that Jason Phillips left the microphone in the middle of the ring…not near the edges.”

Knots: “Clearly a lot of people not exactly happy about this. Everyone is concerned.”

Xander looks down at the microphone as Artemis leans in the corner, watching Xander. Xander then slowly bends over and grabs it, pulling it up before looking out at the crowd. His music fades out.

Sharper: “You also know that Selena Frost has to be watching this closely.”

Xander watches the crowd before starting to speak.

Xander: “Security can relax. I have no desire to come after her so-called believers. Not tonight…and perhaps not ever more.”

Xander looks down, slowly walking around the arena.

Xander: “I defeated Selena Frost on the night of Under Attack. I took the Snow Queen and I dismantled her in this ring to the point where she could not stand. She can hide it all she wants, but the fact is that I brought her to her knees to where she could not stand for any of you!”

Xander Valentine pauses again and looks up at the crowd.

Xander: “She failed you. She failed SCW.”

The crowd boos.

Xander: “Yes, you should boo her for that. Unlike her, I only make simple claims and one was that I felt that her and others have taken my mantle and ruined it…On the night of Under Attack I proved that she cannot get lucky twice and that I still am to be feared!”

Xander pauses again.

Xander: “But…I had intended to humiliate her. To make her look like the weakling that I believed her to be and in that…I failed.”

Xander sighs as the crowd cheers a bit.

Xander: “Instead, I find myself feeling something I never thought would be possible. I actually respect you now Selena. You fought me in an arena that played to my strengths and you fought valiantly. You failed…but you still fought. And the sores, the bruises, the pain I suffered is because you faced me. It’s a feeling I’ve not felt in a long time. And it is the reason I stand here right now.”

Xander looks out at the crowd.

Xander: “After that match, I contacted Sasha and I offered to pay the costs for restitution out of my paycheque. I even signed autographs and offered my personal apologies. Owed entirely to my new found respect for you Selena. And while I have new safeguards I will need to navigate to maintain my career…SCW has elected to end their suspension of yours truly, based on the sincerity of my respect. And Selena-“

Just before Xander can continue, we see Selena Frost walking out from the back, still in her wrestling gear. She has a microphone in her hand.

Selena: “Are you kidding me? I don’t for one second believe that you have any respect for me or anyone else in this company? Not after everything. You can pay for your sins and all you did to my true believers. SCW can ensure of it. THEY can accept it all, but I refuse to accept this crap!”

Xander: “Selena…I assure you and I will say it to your face. I actually respect you now.”

Selena: “You only respect me because you wanted your job back. A monster like you can’t get much other employment.”

Xander sighs.

Xander: “Believe what you want.”

Selena: “I believe you’re full of crap.”

Xander: “Then consider this…I defeated you on the night of Under Attack. But that match, it does not exist. But you know damn well, I beat you. I am not going to attack you. I am not going to force you into this position. I have no intention to go after your family. Instead, I want one more match. One final match to determine who truly is better at Clarity. Not in the eyes of the record books, but between you and me.”

The crowd roars. Selena looks around, listening to the crowd.

Xander: “And Selena…I will even allow you to determine the match.”

Selena continues to listen to the crowd.

Xander: “Listen to your true believers…if you feel I am full of crap, then you can get one more measure of revenge…and even stand tall again.”

Selena continues to look around before turning to Xander.

Selena: “I am not sure what you’re getting at, but you are not going to stand tall. Instead…you will be knocked out again because Xander, that’s what set you off before. You truly respect me…then you will respect my ability to KNOCK YOU OUT. At Clarity, you and me, one last time….Last Person Standing!”

Selena steps back and storms through to the back. Xander’s face which had been stoic and serious lets out a brief smile.

Sharper: “Selena Frost vs. Xander Valentine III, Last Man Standing in eleven days?!”

Knots: “Is it II or III? III actually, II officially. Either way, Xander Valentine wants his win to count. He’s back and he respects Selena?!”

Sharper: “Selena doesn’t buy it, but Xander Valentine respecting the security, the situation…I’m not sure what to think there. But in eleven days, we’ll find out in the ring what Xander really feels about him.”

The camera focuses on Xander as he looks on and then calmly places the microphone down as “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande plays in the background.

Breakdown returns as we see Selena Frost and Regan Street, who is in her wrestling attire, ready to fight, standing in one of the hallways.

Regan: “If she gets involved-“

Selena: “I know. We’ll see…if he respects me, he won’t pull that crap. If he doesn’t, well, he’ll pay.”

Just then, Xander Valentine walks over toward them. Regan and Selena turn to him.

Xander: “I assure you, this will be one on one.”

Artemis stands by him.

Xander: “I respect you.”

Selena: “I don’t.”

Regan: “Neither do I.”

Xander: “You don’t deserve any respect.”

Regan steps forward. Xander then steps off and backs up. Regan looks at him as Selena has a hand outstretched, almost ready to stop her. Xander walks away.

Regan: “I’ll beat respect into you someday Xander…”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “Focus on Konrad…and the tag titles…”

Regan: “I’ll focus on what needs to happen. Just like you will.”

Mikaela Street then walks over with another young woman.

Mikaela: “What was that about?”

Regan: “Nothing. Let’s go. I have a Rainbow to destroy.”

Regan turns and heads off with Mikaela and the young woman as Selena watches them leave before turning back to where Xander walks off.

Regan Street vs. Konrad Raab

Cold as Ice by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right shoulder, Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back, Ice wolf on his left chest and ice bear on his right chest.

Phillips: “From Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

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

Sharper: “Konrad Raab has been asking for this match for quite some time, Regan has been chomping at the bit since their last encounter ended in a count out when Raab went after Damian Angel, they both are ready to settle this and move on.”

Knots: “We have known Regan for almost eight years, nothing is ever settled with her until she says so. If you think she is finished with people like Konrad, Xander and Asher, you are making one huge mistake, tonight we see claws, we see the Regan Street we all know, the Hellcat and Konrad here better be ready.”

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 and then following her is another young woman.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Santa Monica, CA.! Weighing in at 125 pounds! Accompanied to the ring by Mikaela, here is “The Hellcat” Regan Street!”

She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with boos and cat calls no pun intended. 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 starts to look over at the crowd, sometimes yelling to get herself ready, slapping a few hands or simply ignoring them, staying fully focused inside the ring and her opponent... as Mikaela smirks, the other young woman follows very nervous and timid from behind....

Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring; she flips over the ropes back first to the cheers from the fans, Mikaela slides after her, the young woman stands on the outside. 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, turning to the young woman on the outside and instructing her to sit by the announce table, as she does...

Regan then cart wheels and ruffles her hair as she waits for the match to begin with Konrad, staring right at him….

Sharper: “Regan looks ready and we have a guest sitting next to us, a young woman and we have no idea who she is.”

Knots: “Regan is intense, and this woman looks scared to death. Maybe I can get a word with Mikaela on who she is. In the ring Regan looks ready to put on a show and for Konrad, he has a point to prove.”

Sharper: “A lot of history here that goes back a few years. Regan has been in a bitter and foul mood since losing the Adrenaline Championship and then the finish at Under Attack, she claimed that after this, it is about Supremacy and the tag team titles.”

Knots: “Everyone is coming out to team with her, hell I would…. Okay maybe not.”

The referee checks on both wrestlers as he then calls for the bell. Regan and Konrad circle around the ring before locking up, no. Regan knees Konrad buckling before she starts laying lefts and rights on Konrad, the crowd roars as Regan continues to pummel him right into the corner as he tries to cover up, Regan doesn’t care, she continues to forearm him in the back and head, the official starts the count…

1….

Regan breaks the count; Konrad gets out of the corner, but Regan executes a beautiful standing dropkick flush in the jaw of Konrad. He falls into the corner, Regan starts kicking him again over and over, before Irish Whipping him into the opposite corner, Regan charges in with a clothesline and follows with a bulldog as the crowd roars. She gets up and hits the Street Legacy Triple Leg Drop before hooking the leg for the cover…

Konrad kicks out!

He starts to roll, trying to get out of the ring, Regan stops him with a knee to the back. She picks him up and hits a European upper cut, staggering Konrad back, she then charges but Konrad catches Regan in a quick spinebuster stopping her momentum.

Sharper: “Regan came out a house of fire but Konrad quickly catches Regan in a Spinebuster and that stalled her ambush quickly, Regan was on top of Raab, he needed that offense or this was going to be over quick.”

Knots: “Give it to Raab, that was definitely a desperation move that stopped Regan, but he better hit her with ten more of those if he wants to stop her.”

Mikaela looks on, she turns to the young woman known as Delilah as she looks very concerned. Konrad goes to grab Regan by the hair, but she quickly rolls him up into an Inside cradle…

Konrad Kicks Out!

Regan gets up slowly, Konrad is up to his feet, she goes to kick him but he catches her foot, brings her into a Belly to Belly suplex quickly hooking a leg for the cover…

Konrad quickly grabs her by the hair, he whips her into the ropes, ducking, Regan stops in her tracks, Konrad looks up and Regan makes him pay with the Cat’s Paw! The superkick right to the jaw of Konrad as he crumbles to the mats, the crowd cheers. Regan runs to the ropes, jumping like a cat to the top rope, looking out to the crowd as they cheer, she launches with the Price Tag! The Heatseeker Elbow! Hitting Konrad right to the chest, she hooks the leg for the cover…

3.. NO!

Konrad gets a Shoulder Up!

Regan looks up at the referee as he holds up two fingers. She nods looking over at Mikaela and Delilah, getting to her feet and picking up Konrad…

Sharper: “Regan is so aggressive in this match and she is finding any opening to take Konrad down. She has an answer for everything he is doing and after Under attack, we had a feeling that she would come into this match ready to show that she is always at the top of the game!”

Knots: “Konrad can’t get out of the gate! Regan is on him like white on rice! She is not going to stop until that man is defeated!”

Regan whips him into the turnbuckle, she follows through with a shoulder block as the crowd roars. She climbs the second turnbuckle and starts unloading on Konrad with closed fists on the top of his head. The crowd starts to count 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9!..... Konrad grabs Regan pulling her off the ropes and hitting her with a thunderous chokeslam powerbomb, the Iceinator! Konrad’s bending her over for the pin….

1!

2!

3… No!

Regan Kicks Out!

Konrad is stunned, he holds up three fingers, but the referee shakes it off. Regan looks hurt, Mikaela and Delilah both look extremely worried.

Sharper: “Regan hit hard, I thought she was unconscious but was able to kick out, maybe on instinct after that Iceinator.”

Knots: “Her head bounced right off the mat, this was what Konrad needed, this could be a huge upset and position Konrad for a title shot maybe at the Adrenaline title with a win here on Regan.”

Konrad picks up Regan, he forearms her a few times, she stumbles back, hitting a short arm clothesline, as she falls, but Konrad picks her back up and does it again as she falls to the mats. He drops a corkscrew elbow and hooks the leg for the cover….

Regan Gets a Shoulder Up!

Konrad looks a bit frustrated, he punches Regan a few times, before picking her up, he sets up Regan for a suplex, lifting her up but she turns and falls behind Konrad, she pushes him into the ropes and pulls off a roll over for the pin….

Konrad kicks Out!

Pushing Regan into the ropes, she turns back around, and Konrad meets her with a superkick, no! Regan catches his foot, spinning him around as Konrad does a full circle right into the WTH! Konrad falls to one knee stunned. She quickly grabs him by the head as he wobbles back on hos two feet right into the CATastrophe! The crowd roars as Regan screams and drops on Konrad hooking the leg for the cover….

1!

2!

3!

The referee calls for the bell!

Knots: “WTH! What a stifling right hand by Regan right into the CATastrophe and this one is over, Sharper!”

Sharper: “Regan was so quick it was sudden and that was the difference! Regan came to fight, Konrad came to fight, she was just a little quicker and picks up the huge win!”

“Who’s Next” plays throughout the arena, the referee raises her arm in victory. Regan holds the back of her head and looks down at Konrad who stirs on the mat. Mikaela goes to grab Delilah, Regan points at her and screams…. “That’s How It’s done!”. The timid young woman nods while Mikaela looks on. Regan stands over Konrad looking down on him as he slowly continues to stir, Regan bends down, she says a few things to Konrad as he nods, before slapping him on the chest in a show of respect. The crowd cheers as Regan rolls out of the ring and joins Mikaela and Delilah. She can be seen pointing to the ring while talking to the young woman who nods nervously as Regan starts to make her way to the back.

Sharper: “Regan talking to that young woman, we now know her name is Delilah, have no idea who she is, Jon?”

Knots: “No clue and I usually know everything, but I will find out. For now, though, Regan back in her winning ways, the Hellcat is focused defeating a very game Konrad Raab and now she is looking at tag team gold and Supremacy.”

Sharper: “A great match and both came to fight. The Hellcat was loose tonight.”

Regan continues to talk to Delilah as Mikaela leads them to the back, looking in the ring at Konrad who is now sitting up and nodding while the crowd cheers.

Edgar Allen Pollock vs. Max Kane

The arena is silent when all of a sudden Max's Kane voice is heard through the PA system.

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

"Suck My Kiss" then hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane uncharacteristically gallops from the curtains onto the ramp. from underneath the ramp into the air. Max stares at the camera before turning the the crowd. Max yells at the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is sporting a black, silver and gold "Rock N' Roll Unicorn" vest with big spikes on the shoulders, a "Scream Machine" t-shirt underneath and a pair of shades on his face. Max continues yelling towards the camera.

Ring Announcer: From San Francisco, California, weighing in at two hundred, ten pounds....he is The Rock N' Roll Unicorn.... "MAD" MAX.....KAAAAANE!

Max walks down to the ring, looking around the crowd. Max once again eyes the camera and smirks as he looks at the ring. He faces the crowd, looking around at everyone while walking past the camera before sliding into the ring. Max stands u and throws his vest onto the mat. He yells to the crowd and motions for them to make some noise. He points to every section of the arena before extending his arms. He then claps his hands, yelling "KANE. MAX. KANE." The crowd responds as he looks on before standing close to the ropes, where the camera is on him.

Max: I'm not letting Hudson get in this ring that easily. Screw that, If he wants in here, he's gotta get through me.

Max smiles a bit before it fades, continuing to stand by the ropes close to ringside. The referee talks to him but Max waves him off.

Max grips the top turnbuckle, steeling himself for the match ahead.

Sharper: “Max is someone who has the penchant to get under his opponents skin and tonight he has some fresh meat as it were with Edgar Allen Pollock.”

Knots: “Pollock picked up a good first victory over Corey Reyes last time and tonight that challenge continues.”

The sound of stage lighting is heard as if the breakers have been turned off one by one and by doing so each section of the arena’s lights go off before the puzzle of darkness is complete. SCW fans hold their phones aloft and switch on their torches but as the sea of lights begin to show, another breaker sound is heard as one solitary spotlight shines down onto the stage and with it the beginning of Beethoven’s "Moonlight" Sonata op 27 # 2 Mov 1,2 by Valentina Lisitsa begins to play.

The music continues playing when a hand is seen breaking through the light, and then again before a figure steps through and stands there basking in it’s glow, his head down and now in hand he holds a skull while his other arm poses just to his left… The man slowly turns and another light beams down and another with each step as he walks down towards the ring as the music continues to play.

Phillips: “Ladies & Gentleman, please rise and give your applause… Hailing from Broadway, New York… He weighs in tonight at two-hundred and four pounds and is here to enamour you with the performance art your lives have craved to see…”

Boos begin to fill the arena now as the man rolls into the ring and rises onto one knee still holding the Macbeth style skull in hand as the final spotlight shines down into the middle of the ring…

Phillips: “INTRODUCING… EDGAR… ALLEN… POLLOCK!!!!!”

With that finally said, Edgar jumps to his feet and poses as more boo’s roar from the crowd, his arms outstretched and a smile on his face which only turns into a sneer upon the reaction he has gotten… The spotlight disappears and the lights to the arena turn back on as he begins to speak to the skull in his hand before walking back to the corner.

Sharper: “His is a strange one, reminds me a little of Shilo Valiant in that respect if I were going to compare him. But they are very different at the same time. Max looks ready though so that might not be in Edgars favour tonight.”

Knots: “Kane laughing at him talking to that skull, you don’t do that no matter how sane you think you are.”

The bell sounds once Edgar shows he is ready, and both men quickly step out of their corners. They go for a lock up with Max Kane getting the advantage, but he opts for stamping on the foot of Edgar Allen Pollock. Edgar winces and steps away only to get caught with a stiff right hand which takes him off his feet with which the crowd roars. He springs back up again to get another right hand which rocks him once more which sends him stumbling towards the ropes holding his jaw. Max Kane smirks before running at Edgar and going for a clothesline which connects and sends Pollock up and over the top rope, however he lands on the apron. The crowd ooohs with Kane striking Pollock again before grabbing the middle rope and through his shoulder into his gut. Pollock doubles over and Kane quickly grabs the top rope and slingshots himself up and over, in doing so grabs the waist of Pollock and manages to drop him off the apron with a DEATHBOMB to the mats!!

Knots: “Deathbomb off the apron, that Sunset flip powerbomb introducing Pollock to the mats and he felt that.”

Sharper: “Everyone felt that but Pollock the most.”

Kane smirks as he leans against the apron, the official immediately calling for him to bring the action back into the ring. Max looks at the referee and waves him off before striking Edgar with a boot not once but twice. The referee demands they bring it back and Kane pulls Edgar up to his feet and rolls him into the ring before following and covers…

1…

2… KICK OUT BY POLLOCK!!!

The crowd oohs some more, some cheer Kane as he looks up at the referee and chuckles.

Max: “How’s THAT for some ART Edgar?!”

Edgar rolls away after Max slaps the back of his head some he starts to get up with Max already on his feet and runs the ropes before leaping into the air and hitting a seated senton to the back of Pollock he winces again rolling away from Kane who smirks. Kane is the first to his feet with Pollock a short second. He runs the ropes to Pollock but the Artist of SCW spins around and drives a Savate kick into the guts of Max Kane which drops him to his knees immediately from the impact! The crowd Ooohs as he holds his gut, the wind knocked out of him for a moment! After grabbing Max’s hair Pollock drives a bionic elbow to the top of Max’s head not once but twice before running the ropes and driving a boot to the side of his head knocking him down to the mat. Pollock holding his back with a sneer which some members of the crowd now boo.

Knots: “Just like that things changed. Edgar showing his has power in those legs of his.”

Sharper: “He isn’t just a theatre actor; he knows how to fight. There is more to this guy than he lets on.”

Edgar rolls Kane to his back and grabs him by his head and begins shouting at him furiously.

Edgar: “YOU MOCK MY ART?! HOW DARE YOU SIR!!”

Edgar throws a forearm shot to the temple of Kane, he hits another and another before dragging Kane to his feet and Irish whipping him into the corner. Kane stumbles out only to get caught with a European uppercut for his trouble. Max again stumbles back into the corner with Edgar packing back to the opposite side of the ring, he then runs across the ring at Kane full speed looking for a shoulder tackle, but Kane leaps up into the air and Pollock spears himself into the corner with his shoulder hitting the ring post with a crack! The crowd ooohs and winces along with Edgar who now holds his shoulder in pain. Kane however lands behind him and quickly rolls him up with schoolboy.

1…

2.. NO KICK OUT BY POLLOCK!!!

The crowd oohs thinking that could have been it, but Edgar has fight left him still it seems. Kane tells the ref to count quicker he has a hot date later. The crowd laughs a little as Kane now pulls Pollock to his feet and connects with an open hand strike. He hits another before holding his head against the ropes and drags it across the top one. Kane now hits the ropes once again and hits a running boot which sends Pollock through the ropes and to the outside matting. He rolls into the barrier still holding his shoulder while inside the ring Max continues to mock Pollock by taking a bow which he sees and only seethes more…

Knots: “Edgar not liking this blatant disrespect Kane showing him.”

Sharper: “Well he’s going to get a lesson in it a lot here in SCW. So, he’ll have to get used to it.”

Edgar begins to get to his feet and again Kane rushes the ropes to look for a suicide dive, but Edgar read it and rushes to the side, however Kane did so as well and manages to stop himself. Pollock now stumbling around the ring towards the announce table. Kane is quick on his feet though and runs to the next corner and leaps onto the top rope before running the ropes and leaping off for a moonsault on Pollock but pollock dives out of the way and part of Kane lands on the announce table…

Sharper: “Oh my god, he just landed in front of us!!”

Knots: “Check him for a pulse… no wait he’s alive, it’s okay he moved…”

Kane slides down off the announce table onto his back holding his gut as Pollock lays on the floor still holding his shoulder. The official beginning to count right away…

1…

2….

Sharper: “Both men down, Kane has to be down for the count it’s just a matter whether Pollock can get back into the ring…”

3…

4… Pollock finally sits up and winces again, he begins to get to his feet while Kane continues to hold his stomach.

5… Pollock looks down at Kane and then at the ring, he then looks out to the crowd who continue to boo him loudly now and the reason being due to Pollock opting to assault Kane more..

6…

7… Kane tries to cover up but Edgar Pollock has lost it, to the point he cries out with the Cattle Call which gets little reaction form the crowd but from there he drops down and applies the final act!

Sharper: “oh my god he has that move locked in on Kane, the referee is counting!”

Knots: “I don’t think he cares about the count; this is a message!”

8…

9… The submission hold is held in tightly as the official frantically counts faster now to get this over with so he can interject. With it the final count of 10 is heard and the bell finally is called. The official quick to exit the ring to try and get Pollock off Kane who isn’t letting up as we now have a passed-out Kane in dire trouble.

Sharper: “Someone get him off him, the man is hurt damn it!”

Knots: “Edgar has snapped here; you do not mock his art it looks like.”

Edgar finally releases the hold and rolls away from the official and Kane while more rush down to ringside now to check on Max Kane. The crowd booing loudly as Edgar gets to his feet and rolls into the ring where he now takes a bow to the crowd before showing a sinister grin on his face. SCW is quick to move to the backstage area but not with out showing one final shot of Kane being looked over by officials….

Katie: “Cut!”

Katie then walks forward. Bree just rolls her eyes.

Bree: “I’m not in the mood. I already have enough of the movie lights with my boyfriend. I don’t need you playing to that.”

Katie: “Then how about a proper opponent for the US Championship. I mean here I am, a true hall of famer, one of the greatest and I’m being forced to find independent projects because SCW won’t let me do what we all know I can do and that’s to lead everyone as their symbol for greatness.”

Bree: “A few things have changed Katie. Sienna and I are your symbols of greatness.”

Katie: “Really? How about you prove it? Beating Jake and Tommy are great. But I’m the one every little girl goes to bed hoping they’ll grow up like!”

Bree laughs.

Bree: “You just returned…after storming out.”

Katie: “And? What I’m like Rachel Tatum Lee? Unlike her, I didn’t stand to destroy this company. I only made it better. And I’m a national treasure!”

Bree rolls her eyes.

Bree: “You know what…I almost want to beat you just to make my point about Rachel Tatum Lee. That she’s not ready…just like you aren’t.”

Katie scoffs.

Bree: “If Sasha will actually agree…I’ll happily beat another Hall of Famer and prove that Sienna and I are on a completely different level.”

Bree turns and walks off. Katie continues to look at her stunned before Gigi walks over to her. Katie then starts to smile.

Katie: “Worked like a charm. I’m still the best actress in SCW.”

Gigi: “So nothing she said affected you?”

Katie: “Oh Gigi…please. You didn’t hear what Calli Bennett or Lenne Perez used to say in the ring with me. Plus, Bree used to model for Dior…Please! Discount!”

Katie laughs and walks off.

Gigi: “I don’t mind Dior…”

Gigi looks around as we abruptly to the ring.

Breakdown cuts to the arena and the camera turns to show Kimberly Williams dragging Christy Matthews by her wrists, which are duct taped and onto the stage. Christy’s legs are also notably duct taped.

Sharper: “Oh my God! Kim Williams coming out with Christy Matthews!”

Knots: “Where’s Marie?!”

Sharper: “I think this is all Kim and Christy!”

Kim continues to drag her down the rampway. Christy struggles, but Kim manages to keep dragging her down to the ring. She turns and stomps her in the face before dragging her up and pulling her forward, Christy’s legs being taped, preventing her from walking. Kim then gets Christy to the ring and pushes her up and rolls her into the ring. The crowd roars as Christy rolls over. Kim then slides into the ring.

Kim: “Come on Christy…we’re going to have a chat. You want to take out my sister!”

Kim then stomps her in the face. Christy rolls over in pain. Kim then turns and dives onto her and nails her with a series of hard right hands. Christy just takes each shot before rolling away after Kim lets go. Kim then gets up.

Kim: “You’re not getting any help! Marie is making sure Infamous is worried about their James issue. I knew James would be game!”

Kim then stomps Christy in the face and then again and again and again. She then walks around the ring before taking off her leather jacket. She turns and reaches into it and looks and pulls out a small leather case. Christy rolls over and looks up at Kim. Kim unzips it and looks at it. She then winks at Christy before turning into a full glare.

Knots: “What is she going to do?”

Sharper: “Kim…Kim is a bit unstable. We’ve seen her like this in the past. She was on another level when she felt Marie was threatened!”

We then see Autumn Valentine running out from the back. She runs down and Kim Williams pulls what appears to be a bit from the packet before reaching into her jacket for a handle, but Autumn slides in. She runs at Kim and nails Kim with a shot to the ribs and then another before jumping up and hitting a dropkick.

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine coming down? Autumn a long time friend of Christy’s. They’ve had issues in the past. But…”

Knots: “This isn’t going to stop the Infamous/Zero Effs rumours! No matter how many times Ryan punches CHBK!”

She turns and goes over to the kit that Kim dropped and grabs something and goes over to Christy and tries to use it to cut through the duct tape around her hands. She then starts to pull it off before Kim comes back over and grabs Autumn by the hair and drags her back. She kicks her in the ribs and then again and again before running her over and running her into the corner. Autumn falls over. Christy uses the piece to get through the duct tape around her legs as Kim kicks Autumn in the face before turning and grabbing her and throwing her out of the ring. Christy gets up and turns and nails Kim with a shot and then another. Kim fires back with a couple of shots of her own.

Sharper: “Kim and Christy trading blows! Going at one another.”

Knots: “Kim had a moment to do what she wanted. I don’t think she expected Autumn to come out here!”

Ryan Watson then starts to run out from the back. Christy and Kim keep trading blows. Christy gets the advantage as the crowd boos. Ryan ignores what’s happening in the ring and goes over to Autumn. He checks on her as she starts to get up. Christy gets Kim to the ropes and whips her across. Kim bounces off and Christy goes to clothesline her. Kim slides through and turns and grabs one of the items in the ring. She gets up and turns and swings and goes to nail Christy. Christy blocks it. Autumn tries to enter the ring to save Christy, but Ryan holds her back.

Ryan: “Aint our fight love!”

Autumn: “She’s trying to maim her!”

Ryan: “I dun care!”

As Kim keeps trying to jab the item into Christy, Christy keeps struggling before we see Marie Jones running out from the back. Ryan turns and sees this. Autumn moves past him and runs over and goes to stop Marie. Marie runs to the ringside area as Autumn runs over and nails her with a forearm. They trade blows as the crowd roars. Ryan just looks around, unsure of what to do.

Sharper: “Ryan Watson coming out here to check on Autumn. Autumn now fighting Marie Jones. Kim Williams trying to jab whatever the hell tool she has into the forehead of Christy Matthews!”

Knots: “But if Marie’s out here, Infamous may be out soon. Kim has to know this. Ryan meanwhile doesn’t know what to do!”

Sharper: “No love lost for Infamous!”

Just then, we see Kandis and Tommy Valentine stepping out from the back and Kandis and Tommy run down and Kandis runs over and nails Marie in the back. Ryan just looks up and steps forward, trying to get them to stop, but Tommy slides into the ring. He gets up and kicks Kim in the ribs. Christy quickly rolls out of the ring. Kim rolls over and gets up and runs at Tommy. Tommy grabs her and stuffs her takedown attempt, before Kim starts to go for his eyes. Tommy struggles as Christy turns and starts to back away from the ring. Marie is knocked over as Kandis grabs her and turns and runs her into the ringpost. She rolls over. Kandis then turns and slides into the ring. She gets up and runs over and catches Kim with a shot. Ryan rolls into the ring. Kim rolls out of the ring. She then falls over to the announce table.

Sharper: “Kandis and Tommy now out. Saving Autumn, I assume!”

Knots: “Ryan didn’t want that. But either way…Christy the hell out of dodge! Running just like Infamous knows how to do!”

Kim turns and then lunges into the ring, not caring about the results as Kandis, Tommy and Ryan run over and go to stop her, stomping at her before she rolls to the floor. She gets up and falls over and spins around, almost seething. She then looks around before seeing Autumn still on the floor. Kim heads around the ring as Ryan turns and runs over and grabs Autumn by the hair and pulls her up to the apron and then right into the ring. Autumn rolls over, holding her hair and looks up at Ryan.

Autumn: “What the hell?”

Ryan: “Her!”

Kim heads around and stops and seethes as she then notices Marie. She heads over and checks on her, Marie bleeding from the forehead from going into the ringpost. Kim then looks around as Ryan turns to Kandis, Tommy and Autumn. They turn and all exit the ring on the opposite side. Kim then gets up and looks at them. Ryan and Tommy start to lead the way as they watch Kim, moving as a pack.

Sharper: “Kim Williams is incensed! Marie Jones is hurt!”

Knots: “And she’s ready to strike! Ryan, Kandis, Tommy and Autumn want to get the hell out of there!”

Sharper: “I don’t blame them! Especially with Kim the way she is.”

Knots: “I don’t blame em either!”

Ryan, Tommy, Kandis and Autumn manage to get past and start to jog up the rampway as Kim steps forward before backing up and checking on Marie as Marie tells her to stay. The crowd buzzes as Kim looks around as the SCW World Tag Team Champions, almost with the Jackass and Big Ass Connection head to the back.

Breakdown returns as we see Ryan Watson and Autumn Valentine backstage in one of the locker rooms.

Ryan: “Mind tellin’ me what ya ‘ad in mind there?”

Autumn: “Look, Christy and I have had our issues, but she’s one of my oldest friends. I’m not going to let Kim do whatever she had planned.”

Ryan: “We gotta think about things…I aint gettin’ sucked in wit Infamous”

Autumn: “I know-“

The door opens as Tommy Valentine and Kandis walk into the room.

Ryan: “Eh-“

Kandis: “Don’t mention anything. The moment they started to come out and double-team, we came out for you two.”

Autumn: “Thanks.”

Kandis: “I said don’t mention it.”

Tommy: “If ya want…keep pushing for our title rematch.”

Ryan: “I said it at Under Attack, dint I? I meant it…ya next.”

Kandis: “Good…”

Autumn: “Yeah, you two shouldn’t have to wait longer. That’s ridiculous. We’ll get it figured out. If not, maybe we do some open challenge and you come out.”

Kandis: “I thought you two had zero you know whats?”

Ryan: “Not when it comes ta people who deserve em.”

Tommy: “How nice.”

Tommy heads off as Ryan looks at Tommy as Kandis turns to Ryan.

Kandis: “He’s just not sure…we’ve been waiting a bit.”

Kandis heads off after Tommy as Ryan and Autumn look at one another.

The scene switches to show Kim Williams pacing a bit, with blood on her hands, that of Marie’s.

Marie: “Kim…it’s fine…”

Kim: “No! It’s not…they came after you! She gave you a concussion! And I am not going to have to find out what happens if you’re not here. You could’ve been forced to stay home-“

Marie: “I’m fine though…”

Kim: “You’re bleeding…now Kandis hurt you….and this is just starting.”

Marie steps up and goes to stop Kim.

Marie: “You don’t need to fight these fights.”

Kim: “Yes, Marie…I do.”

Kim turns and heads off as Marie sighs as we cut away.

Asher Hayes vs. Clyde Sutter

The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play. As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face. He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering. After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, Sutter begins his slow walk down the ramp, with Van Stanton following closely behind.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, accompanied by Mason Van Stanton, from Southampton, England, by way of Raleigh, North Carolina, he is the Assassin, Clyde Sutter!”

The spotlight follows the sinister sociopath as he approaches the ring; Sutter then foregoes the steel steps as he leaps up from the floor to the ring apron. Mason applauds from the outside as he uses the steel steps to join his client on the ring apron. With the spotlight remaining only on them as one of the few lights in the arena at the moment, Sutter and Van Stanton enter the ring and then stand in the center. Van Stanton applauds his client while the fans continue to show their displeasure. The sound of Metallica dies down and the lights come back on.

Sharper: “Clyde Sutter already busy tonight, threatening Peyton Rice, getting into some trouble with Glory Braddock.”

Knots: “Talking to Abigail Lindsay. And now he faces the Adrenaline Champion.”

Sharper: “And he said he’d take care of him, doesn’t care about what’s going on with Gavin Taylor though, who will challenge Asher Hayes for the Adrenaline Championship in eleven days.”

The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Rope" by the Foo Fighters echo throughout the arena. At the 13 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the stage. The SCW Adrenaline Championship sits over her shoulder.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, he is the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Asher Hayes!”

He makes his way down the ramp as the cheers of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, saluting the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side. He does the same before stepping down and taking off his title and Clyde Sutter walks up to him. The two look face to face. Sutter points to the title.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes ready to go tonight and Sutter and Hayes now face to face!”

Knots: “He called out Sutter after he attacked Alistaire Allocco two weeks ago. He better be ready. Sutter wants to knock him around now!”

The official, Aaron Demitra, asks for the title. Hayes extends it to him and Demitra hands it off. Asher and Sutter continue to look one another before Demitra calls for the bell. Sutter then nails Hayes with a hard right. Hayes fires back. Sutter takes another shot and Hayes nails him again and Hayes blocks another attempted shot by Sutter, before Hayes kicks him in the ribs. He nails him with a hard right and then another kick before another hard right. Sutter falls to the ropes. Hayes grabs him and goes to whip him across. Sutter spins through and sends Hayes in. Hayes bounces off and Sutter turns to Hayes, but Hayes jumps up and hit a flying forearm shot. Sutter rolls over to the ropes. He looks up, annoyed at Hayes.

Sharper: “Hayes taking down Sutter! Huge forearm to the jaw and Sutter dropped to his ass!”

Knots: “And Sutter looks like someone just slapped him. He’s pissed!”

Hayes turns as Sutter gets up and runs at Hayes. Sutter attempts a clothesline. Hayes ducks. Sutter stops and turns and Hayes kicks him in the ribs. He forearms him in the jaw.

Sutter nails him again. He then grabs him and whips him across the ring. Hayes bounces off and Sutter launches him up in the air with a huge back drop. He smirks as Hayes slowly gets up and Sutter runs over and nails him with a shot to the ribs before pushing him back into the corner. He then starts to choke him.

Sutter steps out and walks out around the ring. Hayes walks out a bit, holding his throat.

Sharper: “Sutter happy to scrap. Hayes caught and Sutter just choking him!”

Knots: “Probably would’ve tried to just make him pass out outright there!”

Sutter walks over and kicks Hayes in the ribs. He then pulls him into a short-arm clothesline. He then goes for the pin.

Hayes kicks out. Hayes rolls over and Sutter reaches over and pulls him up by the hair. The crowd boos and Sutter headbutts him in the small of the back. Hayes falls to his knees. Sutter drags him up and then hoists him up and hits a backbreaker. Asher winces in pain. Sutter then goes for another pin.

Sharper: “Oh my God! Right on his back! Right on the apron!”

Knots: “Asher’s bad back too!”

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor has to be licking his lips if Asher Hayes is even alright to compete. Hayes has a history of back injuries and Sutter, no doubt, knows that.”

Knots: “Assholes gotta asshole!”

The bell sound and Hayes rolls off. Hayes gets up and looks around.

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

Hayes then has his arm raised. The crowd cheers him as Sutter slowly rolls over, holding his head. Hayes turns and heads over to the corner. He’s handed his Adrenaline Championship by Phillips. He takes it and steps up to the middle rope and looks out at the crowd. He holds the title up as the crowd cheers. The cheers, however, turn to general noise as we see Gavin Taylor sliding into the ring from the back. He then runs over and nails Asher Hayes in the back. Hayes grimaces and falls forward. Gavin turns and pulls Hayes back and onto his shoulder before then instead of driving him down with a neckbreaker, he pulls down on Hayes’ stomach, causing him to drop down to the mat with Gavin’s arm under his lower back. Hayes rolls over, holding his lower back in pain. Gavin then rolls over and gets up.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor! Damn it! From behind and driving him down with a variation of the Highlight of the Night!”

Knots: “Not going for the neckbreaker, but instead a backbreaker. Hayes holding his back!”

Sharper: “And look at him, going after the back, stomping away. Happily targeting the lower back of Hayes!”

Knots: “And after the damage done by Sutter!”

A shot of Sienna Swann walking down the hallway, holding the SCW World Championship, with Xiomara walking behind her, plays.

Sharper: “We are still wondering what to expect for the SCW World Championship situation in eleven days. Sienna Swann may be. Or may just have wanted the main event spotlight. Either way, she will join us next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

“Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play as a golden hue comes over the stage. A few moments pass before we see Sienna Swann walk out from the back, wearing a pants suit and holding the SCW World Championship around her waist. Xiomara stands behind her as Sienna looks around the arena. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann, the SCW World Champion, here with her new bodyguard, manager, I don’t know what, but her name is Xiomara.”

Knots: “It’s Sienna. Chris Cannon can’t be here because he’s too stupid to not get reinjured, so she needed someone else!”

Sharper: “Be careful, Jon. They’ve gone after you before.”

Knots: “Great. And how many people hate them. People are finally sick of this act!”

Sienna Swann and Xiomara head to the ring. Sienna Swann walks over to the steel steps. She smiles as she walks up the steel steps and then walks along the apron. She steps into the ring as Xiomara follows. Sienna then walks over to the middle of the ring as the spotlights move toward her. She poses in the middle of the ring with the SCW World Championship. Greeted by more boos, she looks around, almost ignoring it as she continues to pose. As she does, Xiomara is handed a microphone by Jason Phillips. She turns back as Sienna turns to her and Xiomara says something to her before handing her the microphone. Sienna takes it and smiles for a moment before looking out at the crowd. The music fades out.

Sienna: “Don’t worry. You don’t have to go home complaining that you had to watch Asher Hayes in the main event of Breakdown. Sure, he’s the Adrenaline Champion, but let’s be fair. You came to see the stars. You came to see people like Bree Lancaster and myself. And funny enough, it seems like Sasha had realized one thing…this company has no one in our league.”

The crowd boos.

Sienna: “Bree needed to stage a public protest to ensure she was able to show she was a fighting champion. While myself, I am still waiting for clarification. Two weeks ago, James Evans and Owen Cruze were mentioned. Is it possible that in two weeks that Sasha realized that neither one should be in the ring with a true champion like myself? I’ve beaten Owen one on one in the past. He’s clearly not ready for me and Calamity Cruze probably doesn’t need another tragedy.”

Sienna smirks.

Sienna: “Or James…who proved that he has no place in this ring. Anyone who makes me feel sorry for anyone trying to pull something out of the Infamous playbook…just pathetic. Not deserving of a shot. And you don’t have any more hall of famers to dust off. Kelcey Wallace isn’t going to walk out from the back. CHBK is too old and I don’t want that near me. Planning to see if Jason Zero is willing to risk a lawsuit-“

“The show must go on” the SCW / Maserati Remix kicks in over the PA system. Sienna rolls her eyes and turns to the entrance way as Owen Cruze walks out from the back, a microphone in his hand. He just looks down at the ring, shaking his head. He then starts to head down to the ring. Sienna turns to Xiomara. Owen Cruze reaches the ring and pulls himself onto the apron. Xiomara steps up and stops him from entering the ring. She folds her arms. Owen looks at her.

Owen: “Really?”

Sienna: “You have no business in this ring. I mean, you had your little title run, but it ended the moment you had to deal with someone like me.”

Owen: “Is this where you’re going to call me Calamity Cruze again? Another tragedy? Then again, glass house and stones Syren Swann-“

Sienna: “Don’t call me that! I am MILES better than that fraud!”

Owen: “Oh, okay…how about Shipwreck Swann? You know, because everything falling apart around you. Chris isn’t here. Can’t be in the arena. You need to bring in some new muscle to save you from yourself. We all heard the issues at my mother’s house. Where you lost it? What about all of the truths coming out on all of the news magazines, on TV, on print, people seeing you for who you are?”

Sienna: “All lies and smear campaigns. Everything I do is FOR THE PEOPLE, Owen. You’ll never understand that as you always let them down. Just like Sasha knows you’ll fall on your face again. It’s why she’s not confirmed your rematch!”

Owen: “Well, Sienna, if you’re so confident that I’m not a threat, let me in the ring. Better yet, give me the rematch. I mean no one in this arena respects you as champion, right?”

The crowd roars with cheers. Owen looks around and smirks.

Owen: “They feel you stole it because you needed your fiancé to hand it to you, right Syren Swann!”

Sienna: “Stop calling me that!”

A “Syren Swann!” chant starts to break out as Owen extends his arms. Sienna looks around, glaring at them, walking around, annoyed.

Sienna: “Stop it! Stop it! I won’t be defending against this mistake. Hell, I’m not in the mood to give any rematches-“

???: “But I am, Sienna.”

The crowd roars as Sasha walks out from the back. Owen Cruze looks back at the entrance way. Sienna glares at the stage.

Sienna: “Here we go.”

Sasha: “Well, Sienna, I mean you are the World Champion. Don’t you want to know who you’ll face?”

Sienna: “I’d love to know who is going to get humiliated by me. Please give the kid a break. He can’t handle another tragedy.”

Sasha: “Oh I don’t know about that Sasha. Owen…how do you feel about facing Sienna for the World Championship?”

Owen turns to Sasha.

Owen: “I feel pretty good. Feel like we can see if Sienna Swann really should be holding that title!”

Sienna rolls her eyes.

Sasha: “Well I happen to agree.”

Sienna: “Of course you do.”

Sasha: “No, Sienna, it’s got nothing to do with the fact that I think you’re insufferable. It has to do with the fact that in the Chamber match, you required help to get it. Yes, was it allowed by the letter of the rules, yes it was. Doesn’t mean that I can’t make sure you are the deserving champion you claim to be. See, Under Attack was supposed to be about clearing the deck, about ending all of these claims. It didn’t solve that. Well, in eleven days, at SCW Clarity, we’re going to try again.”

The crowd roars.

Sasha: “See, add that controversy with James Evans sabotaging the Chamber…the revenge of Syren…and the fact that, well, Syren, as much as it pains me, deserves a second chance.”

Sienna: “I think it’s poetic justice!”

Knots: “Oh my God…I agree with Sienna.”

Sharper: “No one would blame Sasha if she didn’t give Syren anything. Even if she was innocent in this case…”

Knots: “I just remember what Syren put Kennedy through!”

Sasha: “So here’s what’s going to happen. At Clarity, we’re going to have two matches….In one…Syren and James Evans will face off!”

The crowd roars. Sienna rolls her eyes.

Sasha: “And in the other…with the SCW World Championship on the line, Sienna, you will defend against Owen Cruze.”

The crowd cheers. Owen smiles as Sienna shakes her head.

Sienna: “What do they have do with one another?”

Sasha: “I’ll tell you…because those two matches will take place at the same time because at Clarity, we are going to see a Double Jeopardy match. Two matches, same time, winners then face each other! World Title on the line!”

The crowd roars. Sienna looks at the stage. Owen smiles.

Sasha: “Whoever is the best will be standing tall and holding the SCW World Championship!”

The crowd continues to cheer.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann and Owen Cruze! Syren and James Evans! Double Jeopardy at Clarity! World Title on the line!”

Knots: “Talk about clearing the deck!”

Sharper: “All of the controversy. Let’s hope it ends at Clarity!”

Sienna continues to throw a small tantrum in the ring as Owen Cruze smiles as the scene fades to black…
