MAIN SHOW:

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

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

We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber. We cut to a shot of Konrad Raab doing some shadowboxing in the ring before showing Ikiro Yoshida, Derek Adonis and Manvel in the ring with the KABLAMA Sutra. We follow up with a shot of Gable Winchester walking away from Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson.

"I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)"

A shot of Christy Matthews posing in the crowd follows. Sam Raine kicking an opponent is shown before showing Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity. We then see Ace Marshall nailing someone with the One Eyed Royal.

"I'll try to picture me without you but I can't"

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

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

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

The scene opens up with a shot of the outside of the DCU Center in Worchester, Massachusetts. The camera cuts to show fans filing into the building going through the turnstiles before cutting to a shot of the inside of the arena.

Spirit: “We are back stateside in Worchester, Mass, as Breakdown is the final stop before Bound by Blood this Sunday!”

Shots of fans moving their seats follow before cutting to one fan excited that he’s getting nachos before cutting to the inside of the SCW Studios in Toronto.

Spirit: “Someone happy about the food there. Hello again everyone. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters in our studios in Toronto. We are just four days away from Bound by Blood where Sienna Swann and Josh Hudson will face each other for the World Title, Blake Mason or Cassidy Carter could earn a title shot, and the Street Family and Beauty Network will collide.”

Winters: “That’s all well and good and will be a huge night. But let’s talk about who isn’t competing this Sunday. It’s Regan Street. It’s Syren. Some big names riding the pine so to speak and for Syren, she was happy about it.”

Spirit: “Clearly showing the attitude shift from the start of the year. But they’re not competing this Sunday. They are in Worchester. What else will happen tonight?”

A still for Chris Cannon vs. Ikiro Yoshida comes up on the screen behind Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters.

Spirit: “Tonight, Chris Cannon and Ikiro Yoshida had issues for awhile. They’ll be on opposite sides this Sunday, but tonight, they’ll face off in singles action.”

Winters: “And there’s a lot of personal animosity from Yoshida to Cannon. On top of that, Ikiro didn’t get the job done last week. How’s Sienna Swann going to react to that?”

A still of Datura comes up on the screen.

Spirit: “And something else we’ll be watching tonight. Datura returns. Her suspension is over. She is in Worchester. She faces Alexis Quinne this Sunday. Regan Street wants her hands on her. What will happen when those combustible elements are in the same building tonight? First time since Under Attack. All this and much more. But let’s take you to ringside where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are standing by!”

The scene cuts to the inside of the DCU Center. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Thank you Spirit. Welcome to Worchester, Massachusetts. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and you mention the tension between Ikiro Yoshida and Chris Cannon. Well we’re not waiting. That’s how we’re kicking things off here on Breakdown!”

Ikiro Yoshida vs. Chris Cannon

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

Phillips: “The opening contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan, he is Ikiro Yoshida!”

The fans pop for the Japanese superstar, he leaps back up onto his feet and looks down at the ring. He then starts to make his way to the ring, looking a bit more focused than we’ve previously seen him. He then runs to the ring and slides in. He rolls to his knee and looks out. He backs up and takes off his jacket and hands it off as he starts to pace in the ring.

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida and Chris Cannon have had some brawls in recent weeks. This Sunday, they’ll be part of that huge five on five elimination match.”

Knots: “Yeah, but imagine how happy he could make Sienna if he teaches Chris some respect. That’s what this is about for him and Chris has been nothing but respectful! Sienna’s the one who has overstepped!”

Sharper: “Sienna aggressively looking to win Superman to her side. Not the case here.”

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

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

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

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

The crowd has a positive reaction for the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon then slides into the ring and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and then raises his arm above his head holding a fist as the crowd cheers. 

Sharper: “Notably, the two teams, families, if you will, not here. One a partnership on convenient. The other one that is familial. They’re all backstage.”

Knots: “The gasoline is here. Just needs to spill and one spark could light this all.”

Ikiro and Chris look at one another as the crowd roars. The bell sounds and Ikiro lunges at Chris and goes for a straight kick to the head. Chris spins out of the way. Ikiro turns around and Chris kicks him in the ribs. He nails him with a chop. The crowd woos. He then nails him with a European uppercut and Ikiro stumbles back, falling through the ropes and to the floor. He backs up to the barricade as the crowd roars. Chris throws his arms up, trying to get the crowd into it as they cheer. Ikiro paces a bit. (1) He steps over the steel steps and to the floor. (2) He then turns and rolls into the ring. He slowly looks up at Chris as Chris watches him and Ikiro gets up and lunges at him again and goes for the leg of Chris. Chris hops back on his back leg before clubbing him in the back and then again. Ikiro falls to the mat and Chris turns and stomps him in the back. Ikiro yells out and rolls away.

Sharper: “Ikiro trying to take Chris down early. Good defensive game from Cannon here.”

Knots: “Yeah, looks like Ikiro is trying too hard or Chris is just ready for it.”

Ikiro grabs at the ropes. He turns back and goes for a spinning back fist, but Chris ducks. Chris then kicks him in the ribs. He hooks him up and hits a vertical suplex before floating over into a pin.

1!

2!

Ikiro kicks out. He turns and grabs at the ropes. Chris pulls himself up as Ikiro gets up and utrns around and Chris scoops him up and hits a ribbreaker. He then gets up and hits a elbow drop to the chest. He goes for another pin.

1!

2!

Ikiro pushes him off. Chris rolls off and Ikiro rolls over, moving to the corner as Chris turns and runs at him and Ikiro hits a boot to the face. Chris staggers back and Ikiro steps out and hits a spinning back kick to the jaw, knocking him down.

Sharper: “Caught under the jaw. Ikiro using that spin kick to take down Chris.”

Knots: “Caught him on the jaw to start and that set it up.”

Chris starts to get up and Ikiro hits a kick to the ribs. Chris rolls over, holding his ribs. He starts to get up and Ikiro runs into the ropes and bounces off and hits a running dropkick. The crowd ohs and boos. Ikiro goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Chris kicks out. Both men get up and Ikiro hits an overhead chop to the chest before nailing him with another. He then whips Chris into the ropes. Chris bounces off and Ikiro jumps up and hits a leg lariat. He rolls over. Chris turns and Ikiro pulls him up before going for a vertical suplex, but dropping him upper back and neck first across his knee. The crowd ohs as Chris rolls over, holding his head and neck in pain.

Sharper: “Chris, dropped across Ikiro’s knee. Focusing on that neck too!”

Knots: “There’s the point of contact. Just putting the fear of God into Chris. That’s why he was out for a year and half and Ikiro targeting it.”

Sharper: “An option tonight. But is it to take Chris out?”

Knots: “Maybe. There’s been some second thought about Regan on the Street team. Maybe Ikiro is looking to figure that out for them!”

Chris holds his head and neck and slowly starts to get up and Ikiro grabs him and hits a DDT. The crowd ohs. Ikiro rolls him over and hooks the leg.

1!

2!

Chris shoots his shoulder up. He rolls over, holding his head and neck. Ikiro yells out. He turns and grabs Chris and pulls him back up to his feet. He hits a couple of jab forearms before a harder one. Chris stumbles back to the ropes. Ikiro then backs up and runs at him. He goes for a clothesline but Chris lowers his head and lifts Ikiro up and onto the apron. Ikiro starts to get up and Chris kicks Ikiro in the ribs before pulling his head between the ropes and jumping up and hitting a leg drop to the back of Ikiro’s head. Ikiro falls into the ring as the crowd ohs. Chris rolls to the apron.

Sharper: “Chris going for Ikiro’s neck here!”

Knots: “That may have been the opportunity that presented itself. You take what you get and Chris didn’t hold back.”

Ikiro rolls over and starts to get up as Chris climbs to the top rope. The crowd roars as Ikiro staggers to his feet and turns as Chris dives off with a crossbody, taking him down.

1!

2!

Ikiro kicks out. Both get up and Chris nails Ikiro with a clothesline. Ikiro hits the mat and rolls over. He stirs but Chris turns as the crowd roars and we see Jack Parker running down to the ring. He slides in as we also Savali too. A few strides behind them are Dante McCaffery and Xander Valentine. The crowd boos loudly as Parker enters the ring and Chris clotheslines him down. He turns and kicks at the ropes, preventing Savali from getting in and he turns to Parker as he gets up and grabs him and throws him out of the ring before he turns around and Ikiro hits a spinning heel kick. Dante and Xander enter the ring as does Savali and Dante says something to Xander before Xander turns and looks at the entrance way as Dante and Savali run over to Ikiro and start to stomp away on him. The bell sounds.

Sharper: “Damn it! The Network! They’re out here and the moment Ikiro looked to be in serious trouble, they weren’t going to the take the chance!”

Knots: “Running out en masse. No LEO, no Budde. But instead, Savali here now. And Xander Valentine standing guard!”

Sharper: “All as Dante and Savali stomp way on Chris Cannon!”

Ikiro rolls to the apron as the crowd boos loudly. Cannon covers up as the bell sounds again. We then see London and Paris Truelove appearing at ringside. They both grab Ikiro, pulling him out of the ring. Ikiro staggers as the crowd boos some more. Savali pulls Chris up and drags him to the corner before hitting a couple of hard rights to the jaw. The crowd then cheers as we see Donovan Kayl, Dylan Howell, Trinity Street and Kennedy Street bolting from the back. They run down to the ring. Xander steps back, waiting for them and Donovan slides in and gets up, but Xander forearms him before he kicks Trinity in the side. Kennedy and Dylan slide in and Xander turns and goes for Kennedy. Kennedy ducks and then runs at Savali and Dante. She nail Dante with a boot to the jaw. He falls out of the ring as Dylan nails Xander up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers as Xander lands on his feet and steps back. Trinity and Kayl enter the ring as Trinity lets out a bit of steam, showing her annoyance. Savali exits.

Sharper: “The reinforcements are here!”

Knots: “And they’re ready for a fight! Boot from Kennie! Dylan taking out Xander!”

Sharper: “But Xander landing on his feet. And he’s considering getting back in there. If anyone could take on them all five on one, it would be him!”

The Network regroup on the floor as the Trueloves head with Ikiro to the back. Trinity storms around the ring and demands a microphone as Kennedy turns to Chris and checks on him as does Donovan. Dylan stands guard, looking around. Trinity is handed her microphone and she turns back.

Trinity: “I’m not in the mood for this crap today!”

The crowd cheers as Trinity looks around. Dante backs up, turning to the ring as Xander glares at the ring, still considering entering in. London and Paris turn as Ikiro does too. Ikiro holds the back of his head in pain. Savali and Parker join Dante.

Trinity: “There are a lot of things this group in here going to be taking care of tonight, but it looks like you want to try and pick off any weakness you could get. Hoping we were asleep at the switch, but Network, Trueloves…Ikiro. Beauty Network. Whatever patheticness that is. It’s not going to work.”

Trinity pauses.

Trinity: “But…”

The crowd roars a bit as Trinity turns to them.

Trinity: “You want a fight. We have no problem giving you one. So go, recuperate. Get some ice packs, because if you want a fight tonight, we will happily give you one. Just name the time and place. We don’t need to wait until this Sunday!”

Trinity drops the microphone as she walks around the ring. Chris gets up and steps forward as Kennedy and Donovan turn to the entrance way. Xander starts to step forward as Dante then stops him.

Dante: “No…wait…Xander!”

Xander then stops and backs up, letting out a notable annoyed response. London, Paris and Ikiro just steps back as “Awake & Alive” by Skillet plays. The crowd cheers as Trinity, Dylan, Kennedy, Donovan and Chris all hold the ring. The Network start to retreat as the Trueloves and Ikiro disappear to the back.

Sharper: “Chris Cannon back on his feet. Trinity Street wants a fight.”

Knots: “No response from the Trueloves, from Ikiro or from the Network. Well, minus Xander. He wants to face the world. I want to see it. Come on. Put Xander in there with Trinity!”

Sharper: “Dante telling him to wait. So what does he have in mind?”

Knots: “Or are they looking for more money!”

Sharper: “What a wild start to Breakdown tonight in Worchester!”

The crowd continues to look on as the scene fades away.

Syren is seen backstage with CHBK and Alexander Crowe. Ravyn Taylor can be seen in the background with the SCW Adrenaline Championship.

Syren: “What? I don’t care about being booked. It’s not like they were going to give me what I deserve. A World Title shot!”

CHBK: “Just surprised.”

Syren: “Why? I’m sick of being passed over!”

Ravyn: “Our little girl is growing up.”

CHBK: “That she is.”

Syren: “What?”

Ravyn: “You would never have accepted not being booked on pay per view. You took at as a badge of honour. Until Josh Hudson took that from you.”

Syren: “Still annoyed about that.”

There’s a knock at the door. Crowe goes over to open it. He then steps back.

Crowe: “Seriously?”

Mr. D is in the doorway.

Mr. D: “Sorry. I felt my ears burning. I know you’d wish that was more than a figure of speech.”

Syren: “Only the half of it.”

Mr. D: “But I just came here to let you know that you’ll be competing tonight.”

Syren: “Seriously? Is it against the World Champion?”

Mr. D: “No.”

Syren: “Not interested.”

Mr. D: “A shame. It is against someone you have history with…and could be a World Champion.”

CHBK: “Seriously, Olek. You’re just screwing with her now.”

Mr. D: “No. I’m putting out a competitive match. And I don’t care if she likes it. Syren, you’ll face Josh Hudson tonight.”

Syren stops and smirks.

Crowe: “Whatever old man.”

Mr. D turns and smirks.

Mr. D: “Have fun…”

Mr. D heads off as Syren turns to Crowe and CHBK.

Crowe: “Same plan-“

Syren: “No….this one…this one I’ll do alone. I need to do this alone.”

Syren turns and heads to her gear as the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and we open up to see Dante McCaffery and Xander Valentine in the hallway outside of some of the locker rooms. Savali and Jack Parker are with them.

Xander: “Next time you stop me-“

Dante: “No, next time you act without thinking, it’s going to cost all of us. I get you want to fight. I get you’re not happy, but this is the only option. And we’re not paid to be aggressive unless they want us too.”

The door opens as Laura Steinbeck steps out with London and Paris. Dante turns around as Xander takes a deep breath, clearly holding back a comment.

Laura: “Dante…nice attempt out there to take out Chris. You know though that we want to facilitate things.”

Dante: “Of course. At least he’ll have some bumps and bruises.”

Savali: “I was trying to go for his eye.”

Dante smirks.

Laura: “Well Dante, we’re going to accept their fight, but on our terms.”

Dante: “Alright. What do you want?”

Laura points to Xander.

Laura: “Him.”

The crowd roars as Xander smirks as Laura turns to Dante.

Laura: “So join us as we figure this out.”

Laura opens the door as Dante turns to Xander. Dante steps inside as Xander follows. Laura then follows last as we cut away.

Sharper: “What does that mean? What do they want Xander to do?’

Knots: “And it looks like they are trying to take someone out! They’re trying to change the team dynamic!”

“Torture” by Picture Me Broken begins to play as the lights in the arena go black and the entrance is surrounded in a dark blue black light. The camera moves to the big screen "Bianca Evans" appears on the screen and then it shatters into fragments as glass as the shards fly away. We see the words "God’s Wife" in its place. Then we see imagery of Bianca in the rain with smudged make up being pelted by water with a cold as ice expression on her face. The camera lowers and we see Bianca Evans standing in the entrance with a pissed off expression on her face. Ophelia von Aaron, her mother, is with her. Bianca just starts to head to the ring, glaring at the crowd.

Sharper: “Bianca Evans has continued to focus on the Stewards. The last couple of weeks, Katie Steward was able to let loose on Breakdown last week and Gigi and Maddy certainly gave Bianca something to consider.”

Knots: “That’s all well and good, but someone needs to stop her! If not, Bianca won’t give up. We’ve seen that before. She’s, being polite, stubborn!”

Bianca walks over to the ring and hops onto the apron. She then steps into the ring before snapping at some fans. Ophelia climbs up onto the apron, after climbing the stairs, before snapping at the same fans her daughter did. She enters the ring as Bianca points to the corner and Ophelia heads over and is handed a microphone. Bianca paces a bit before Ophelia turns and holds out the microphone for her daughter. Her music fades out as she looks around. The crowd boos as Bianca looks around. Ophelia listens to the boos and then pulls the microphone back.

Ophelia: “Everyone shut up. Because your real Goddess is speaking.”

The crowd boos more as Bianca turns to Ophelia and moves the microphone back.

Bianca: “None of you matter. So stop thinking that anything you’re doing now matters. There’s only one thing that matters…and it’s me.”

The crowd boos some more. She looks around.

Bianca: “And this Sunday, I plan to make that obvious.”

More boos as Bianca continues to look around.

Bianca: “Isn’t that right, Katie? This Sunday, we face again. One more time. But I’m not okay with it just being a standard rematch. Not after you had TJ come out and attack me just to protect you. Some can say revenge, but it was to protect you. You know that I can and will end your reign.”

Bianca then smirks a bit.

Bianca: “And you’d be right.”

Bianca then grabs her mother’s arm, getting riled up, and pulling the microphone closer. Ophelia winces in pain.

Bianca: “See Katie, I already know you’re going to take the cowards way out, but I came with one plan when I returned. It was to take MY spot as the Goddess of Professional Wrestling. It’s obvious. I mean I’m God’s Bitch. I should be the Goddess! And Katie, that’s not you. It’s not been you ever and I had hoped to make it so you finally earned it, but I just couldn’t do that much heavy lifting. Now, Katie, I’m ending it this Sunday. But I don’t want a normal match. I want something that you’re going to look at and remember forever!”

Bianca smirks as she looks around.

Bianca: “And that’s why I want our match to be to see that tiara that you put on your head every time you come to the ring. It makes me sick, but I’m going to take it from you. I want it placed on a pole, hung above the ring, and I’m going to take it from you! It will be mine!”

The crowd roars. Bianca pulls the microphone from her mother’s hand, shoving her back in the process.

Bianca: “Come on Katie! Let me just put you out of your misery!”

The crowd boos.

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

“The Real Thing” plays throughout the arena as Katie Steward’s entrance video plays on the screen. The crowd jumps to their feet, cheering. A few moments pass before we see Katie Steward walk out from the back with TJ Johnson standing in front of her, pleading with her. Katie has a microphone in her hand and she turns to TJ and says something to him. TJ steps back and puts his hand on his forehead before Katie looks down at the ring. Bianca smiles and heads to the ropes.

Sharper: “Katie Steward out here.”

Knots: “TJ Johnson is sweating bullets and we all know why!”

Bianca: “Come on Katie!”

Katie: “You know Bianca. I’ve had a lot of people stand in that ring, put me in all kinds of matches. There was a time where I would even demand a formal protest. But you know what Bianca…you don’t know the first thing about being a true Goddess! And it’s not a title you can just strip from me, but after everything you’ve done, put my family through, put TJ through…Bianca…I’m not going to run. No. I’m going to fight. Fight for what I believe it. And that’s myself!”

Bianca just looks at Katie as Katie steps forward. TJ keeps pleading with her. Katie ignores her.

Katie: “Oh yes! So Bianca, the only thing people are going to remember this Sunday is that Katie Steward beat you and that you will never be a Goddess!”

The crowd roars as Katie smiles as Bianca just glares at her. She keeps saying “We’ll see!” away from the microphone as Katie Steward looks at Bianca. “The Real Thing” plays as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Katie isn’t going to back down and we’ve not seen Katie that fired up a long, long time!”

Knots: “Bianca Evans may have unleashed something in her. She’s attacking the very being of Katie. She believes she IS a Goddess!”

Sharper: “And she believes in herself and Bianca Evans, we know what she wants to do. This Sunday could be a wild ride!”

The crowd continues to look on as Katie backs up as TJ keeps talking to her and the scene fades out.

Backstage, we see Xander Valentine and Dante McCaffery walking backstage. A camera swivels, before we see it spun around and Xander Valentine standing in front of the camera, steadying it with his hand.

Xander: “I’m going to make this clear. Find someone in your little family and have them come meet me in the ring tonight. Just remember, I’m not part of this roster officially. So anything that happens…its your own fault.”

Xander pushes the camera back. He turns around and snaps at Dante.

Xander: “It’s done!”

Xander heads off as the camera catches him and Dante walks off.

Knots: “There’s the challenge! Xander’s calling the Street’s out!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Slayter McKinney in action

Breakdown returns as we see Sammy Thomas Davies in the ring, stretching.

Sharper: “Welcome back to the ring. This is going to be an interesting match. Slayter McKinney this Sunday will continue to face some stiff competition. Tonight could be what may consider a trap match.”

Knots: “Sammy Thomas Davies is a former Tag Team Champion! Don’t knock that!”

Sharper: “I’m not. But why I say this is interesting is that Slayter was not booked as if earlier today at 5 pm. This was a late addition and some, after last week, wonder if Slayter may have lost a step.”

The opening salvo of struck and sustained notes of “What Can I Do if the Fire Goes Out” by Gang Of Youths kicks in, the lights flash on and off in time. Slayter McKinney comes out with an arm raised, her back to the crowd, nodding her head in time with the struck notes and drum slams.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, from Yorkshire, England, she is Slayter McKinney. Her opponent, from the Red Light District, he is Sammy Thomas Davies!”

The uptempo drums kick in and she makes her way down the ramp, with a hop in each energetic step, slapping hands with the fans. She reaches the ring, rolling up on to the ring apron on her knees, gripping the rope and climbing to her feet. She does a quick, on-beat turn to the crowd before stepping in under the middle rope and climbing to the corner turnbuckle for one last pop from the crowd before leaping down, warming up and preparing in her corner for her opponent.

Knots: “If something is wrong, she looks fine to me.”

Sharper: “She was quite frustrated with herself last week against Scarlet Grey. Sam Raine is her opponent this Sunday. So this also is a risk. She could be revealing some strategy here.”

Slayter McKinney turns to Davies and nods as the bell sounds. The two circle the ring. We then cut to the stage to see Owen Cruze on the stage with a camera crew.

Knots: “Looks like company already?”

Sharper: “Owen Cruze apparently filming something.”

They then watch one another and Slayter goes for a grapple before dropping down and around Sammy. Sammy grabs her hands, avoiding letting her clasp them. Sammy then pulls up and ducks under and into a side headlock. Slayter reaches around and pulls Sammy into the ropes before firing her off. He bounces off and Sammy shoulders Slayter down. Slayter rolls over and gets up and Sammy turns and grabs her and wrenches her arm. Slayter winces and she flips over and rolls through and goes to wrench the arm of Sammy, but loses her grip. She yells out and turns and Sammy hits a hip toss.

Sharper: “Sammy Thomas Davies with a hip toss.”

Knots: “Slayter lost grip. That’s different.”

Sharper: “And particularly notable. That’s a basic move and Slayter rushed through it and slipped. And showed frustration.”

Slayter gets up and Sammy wrenches her arm and whips her across the ring. Slayter bounces off and Sammy hits a back body drop. Slayter turns and starts to get up and Sammy hits a clothesline. He turns and goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Slayter kicks out. She turns and rolls over and Sammy grabs her and whips her into the corner. Sammy runs after and Slayter gets a boot up. The crowd roars. Slayter runs out and hits a bulldog. She then nods to herself and turns and rolls him over and goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Sammy kicks out. Slayter gets up, and we can hear her encouraging herself as she grabs Sammy and drags him up and hits a snapmare. She runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running dropkick. The crowd ohs. Sammy rolls over. Slayter turns and grabs Sammy. She drags him away from the ropes and goes for the head of Sammy, going for an anaconda vise.

Sharper: “Shades of Amy Chastaine! Going for the Tourniquet!”

Knots: “That’s different. Maybe trying to get the submission to just encourage her more. She’s facing Sam Raine this Sunday. Certainly more technically minded! Too bad she’s not getting it on right!”

Sharper: “Again, a mental mistake.”

Slayter tries to get it locked in, but actually misses up the arm hook and snaps at herself.

Slayter: “Come on Slayter!”

She then starts to apply it correctly but Sammy pulls her back and knees her in the back. She rolls over and starts to get up. Sammy gets up and kicks her in the ribs. He then hits a vertical suplex. Sammy turns and exits to the apron. He climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars a bit before we see Slayter getting up and running to the corner, jumping up and in one fluid motion, grabbing his arm, and spinning and flipping through, hitting a flying armbar, driving Sammy down to the mat. The crowd ohs and cheers.

Sharper: “Now that’s more like it! Armbar!”

Knots: “Like she just remembered how to do it!”

Sharper: “Maybe just needed to get her head right. No doubt there. And no mistake on that one!”

Knots: “And far more difficult than anything else!”

Sammy yells out as Slayter locks in the cross armbreaker. She keeps pulling back as Sammy reaches around. He tries to get to the ropes, but Slayter keeps the arm hyper-extended before Sammy starts to tap out. The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Slayter lets go and rolls back. She looks down for a moment. She then gets up, taking a deep breath before having her arm raised.

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

The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “A little bit of ring rust. I don’t know. A few mental mistakes, but Slayter McKinney refocusing and emphatically making Sammy Thomas Davies tap out!”

Knots: “Not just that, but she hit that beautifully and didn’t hesitate to lock it in in full. She can do that, no one is worrying about anything but for their arms!”

Slayter has her arm raised and looks around and nods as her music plays. Owen turns and smiles as he backs away through the curtain with the camera crew. She has a half smile on her face as she continues to try to enjoy the victory and the scene cuts away.

The scene opens up in the locker room that is being used by the Street Family as we see Trinity and Kayl talking backstage. The camera pans back to show Dylan Howell talking to Kennedy and Chris.

Dylan: “I’m doing it.”

Chris: “Dylan, wait…it could be a trap-“

Dylan: “I don’t care. I get it. I saw what Trinity said. She’s said as much tonight. And I get it. I know this is what Regan would have wanted.”

Kayl and Trinity turn and head over.

Trinity: “Exactly-“

Kayl: “But with all due respect, after everything she’s done in the last year. How close she was to Sienna, I don’t trust her to choose between two groups she sees as family.”

Trinity sighs.

Kennedy: “Trin, you know he’s right.”

Kayl: “Regan can hate me all she wants. I made that call. But she’s also made the call of being separate from all of this.”

Trinity nods, biting her tongue.

Dylan: “I get it Trinity. I’m not Regan. I’m not all there. I’ve heard it all. But this…I need to do for me. I need to prove to myself I should be in this room. And if I get destroyed, then so be it…Regan’s waiting to be called up.”

Kennedy: “Dylan, wait-“

Dylan turns and heads over to his gear and pulls out a roll of wrestling tape and starts to get ready.

Backstage, Owen Cruze is seen with Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here with Owen Cruze and Owen, this Sunday, you face Giovanni Aries in singles action. But first, we saw you out there earlier, filming something.“

Owen: “A message for Giovanni Aries. That’ll premiere later this week. But I wanted to make a point that Giovanni doesn’t get. The fact is that I’m looking forward to this Sunday because after he came down on the back of my head, after sending Sam after me, after the ridiculousness he spews, I’m not going to let him just keep running around. I’m going to have him understand that he’s delusional. I’m barely an adult and I get that. Why can’t he?’

Jessica: “Well aren’t you worried that it may make him unpredictable. He’s trying to get you to realize something.”

Owen: “There’s nothing to realize-“

Owen looks up as the camera pans out to show Giovanni Aries in a suit that’s all colours of the rainbow. He smiles as he steps forward.

Giovanni: “Still skeptical. Do you not understand that is exactly what the Lizard King wants? He doesn’t want you to doubt him. I am merely asking for the opportunity to open my eyes.”

Owen: “So you play games and attack me?”

Giovanni: “Unfortunately sometimes a blunt object is the best way to get ones attention and Jules is one for blunt objects.”

Owen: “And you’re not just going to drop me again.”

Giovanni: “I’ve asked Jules to allow me to try this. But this Sunday…no such parlay will be there.”

Selena: “Owen….”

Giovanni looks up as the camera turns to show Selena Frost watching from down the hallway.

Giovanni: “Ah…the Lizard King’s best General.”

Owen: “I have this Selena.”

Selena: “I don’t doubt that. I don’t trust him and I’m not going to let him have a free shot. Not without him finding my foot in his eye socket.”

Giovanni: “Of course…see Owen, you’re now being watching. Not best to talk here.”

Giovanni leans in and says something in Owen’s ear. He pulls away.

Giovanni: “Meet me there if you want to be set free.”

Giovanni walks off as Selena walks over as Owen watches him walk off.

Owen: “No thanks…I’d rather kick your ass….”

Selena: “Sorry-“

Owen: “No…it’s good. You’re right. He could’ve taken a shot.”

Selena and Owen watch Giovanni walk off as they head off.

Dustin Adams vs. James Evans

The opening of “Villain I'm Not" can be heard blaring through the PA system.  The camera focuses on the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, drawing cheers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The crowd cheers more as James looks around, and Angelica Jones comes out behind him.

Phillips: “Making his way to the ring, from New York City and being accompanied by Angelica Jones... together they make up Redemption...... James Evans!”

James and Angelica slowly make their way to the ring, as images of James winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd. Angelica walks around the ring on the floor to James' corner. James then steps into the ring and walks to the center of it, removing his black hoodie before looking around at the crowd with a grin.

Knots: “James Evans seems to be in a good mood here tonight.”

Sharper: “As he should be, in just a few days he and Angelica are going to challenge for the Tag Team Championships.”

Knots: “Maybe that would be a good point if they were still facing Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside. But they're not, they now face Bree and Andrew Raynes, and that's a huge difference!”

Sharper: “Not everyone prefers the easier opponent Jon. Besides, Scott Burnside isn't a trained athlete!”

Knots: “Didn't bother Bree at Under Attack, did it?”

Phillips: “And his opponent....”

:Seizure of Power” hits the speakers as olive lights flicker around the arena. The crowd roars and boos as smoke and sparks fills the entrance ramp as Dustin Adams steps into the smoke and allows it to cover him.

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

Adams then lets out a primal roar and extending his arms up and looking focused. He slowly walks down towards the ring and hops up onto the apron and quickly into the ring. He then glares down at Angelica before looking up to face James with the same glare.

Sharper: “Oh boy, Dustin Adams looks ready to soften James up for his buddy Andrew.”

Knots: “Can't be sure Bree didn't pay him off, too.”

Sharper: “I don't think this guy needs incentive to cause havoc.”

The bell rings, and Adams immediately grabs James by the throat with both hands, and tosses him hard into the corner. The crowd boos and Angelica backs away from the corner, looking concerned. Adams then runs into the corner nailing James with a shoulder tackle, stuffing him into the ringpost. Adams backs up and smirks as he laughs, while James slumps against the turnbuckles, holding himself up on the top ropes. James gets to his feet and takes a step out of the corner, only for Adams to lunge at him and drill him with a clothesline. James hits the top rope and flips over it. Angelica backs away more, expecting James to fall, but James grabs the top rope and manages to keep himself on the apron. Adams glares at this, and runs, getting his foot up for a big boot. James sidesteps though. The crowd cheers as Adams' leg goes through the ropes and he loses his balance a bit. James takes the moment to get back in the ring. He grabs Adams' arm and pulls him back. Adams gets both feet on the mat and spins around, glaring. James throws an uppercut. The crowd cheers, but Adams barely moves from the strike, and just glares harder. The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “Dustin Adams came out of the gate with fire and James' first offensive move did no damage. I'm quickly becoming concerned about our number one contender here.”

Knots: “Adams does seem determined to inflict serious damage- oh! Like that!”

Adams throws a stiff knife-edged chop across James' chest. James bends over, holding his chest. Adams doesn't care though, he grabs James and lifts him up overhead into a gorilla press, walking around the ring some, showing off his strength. The crowd boos heavily, drawing a nasty smirk from the Inmate. Adams then let's go, letting James fall from over seven feet in the air face first into the mat. Angelica covers her face in concern. James rolls over and grabs his face. Adams drops a boot into James' chest, before stepping on his chest as he walks over him. This draws more boos.

Sharper: “Dustin Adams is just toying with James Evans at this point. Not even bothering to make a cover here, just thinking about what else he can do to cause pain.”

Knots: “Remind me to stay on this guy's good side.”

Sharper: “He's friends with Andrew and Bree, keep talking badly about her and you may end up there anyway.”

Knots: “Uh..... but it would be worth it! See what I did there?”

Adams pulls James up to his feet, only to plant him back down with a sidewalk slam. He makes a cover.

1!

Adams then pulls James up, a disturbing grin on his face as he shakes his head no.

Sharper: “Come on Adams! Just get it over with already!”

Knots: “He doesn't want to win, he wants to hurt James! Likely instructed to by Raynes, and possibly paid for by Bree.”

Adams gets up and pulls James up to his feet. He then whips James across. James leaps on the rebound with a flying forearm, stopping Adams in his tracks. The crowd roars. James then runs the ropes for momentum and drops Adams with a DDT. He goes for a cover.

1!

Adams kicks out with authority. Angelica slaps the mat in frustration, but also encouragement. James gets to his feet, and turns around. Adams is up and grabs James by the throat again. He goes to lift him up, but James throws a knee into Adams' side. His grip loosens a little. James lands another knee strike and Adams lets go, holding his side and bent over. James backs up then runs at Adams, hitting a running knee to Adams' head.

Sharper: “Flashpoint! That could be the turning point James Evans needs.”

Knots: “Adams teetering on his feet.”

Adams tries to stand up but the strike knocked him woozy. He goes down to one knee. The crowd roars as James backs up then runs and lands a running enzuigiri. Adams hits the mat on his back. James makes a cover.

1!

2!

Adams kicks out. James gets up and goes to the corner, climbing up. Adams gets up slow, but when he sees where James is, he moves faster and backs away too far for James to land anything from his top-rope perch. James hops down. Adams approaches and James meets him in the middle of the ring, before jumping for a spinning heel kick. Adams staggers back. James follows up with a forearm, followed by a kick to the gut. Adams hunches over. The crowd cheers as James grabs Adams' head and goes for a DDT. Adams counters though, shoving James backwards. James stumbles back a few steps. Adams grabs him by the throat with both hands and spins around before tossing James into the corner hard.

Sharper: “That choke toss into the corner, just like Adams started this match with! I think he had more heat on that one.”

Knots: “And it looks like he's getting warmed up for something!”

James slumps in the corner. Adams grimaces and yells and runs full steam at James, bending down for a spear. At the last second, James drop down out of the way ad rolls away as Adams drills into the ringpost. The crowd oohs then cheers. Angelica runs around the corner to the side where James rolled to the apron. They speak for a second, and James gets back in. He goes to the corner and pulls Adams out. Keeping hold of his head, James climbs the corner to the top rope then takes Adams down with a tornado DDT. The crowd roars as James makes a cover.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings and James gets up. Adams starts to stir.

Phillips: “Here is your winner via pinfall... James Evans!”

The official raises James' arm and the crowd cheers. Angelica starts to get into the ring, but just then the cheers become heavy boos. James and Angelica turn towards the ramp and see Andrew Raynes running down. Angelica tries to stop him from getting into the ring, but Raynes drills her with a clothesline. Angelica hits the mat as Raynes slides into the ring. Adams rolls out of the way holding his head. Raynes and James meet in the middle of the ring both throwing lefts and rights. Raynes starts to get the advantage, pushing James back against the ropes. Just then, the crowd cheers. Seconds later Marie Jones slides into the ring, holding a chair. Raynes spins around and Marie stops in her tracks, chair in the air. James gets between them as Angelica now gets in. Adams is now up and stands next to Raynes, the two men staring down the Jones' and James.

Sharper: “Marie Jones, she has more than enough reason to be out here and put a stop to Raynes' attack on Evans. She'll be facing Raynes Sunday night as well, Mr. D making him pull double duty.”

Knots: “He can handle it! He was the longest reigning champion in SCW this year, and that woman, Marie Jones, ruined his chance at getting the Adrenaline Championship back. I'm sure his anger was tempered by essentially being handed another championship when Bree Lancaster chose him as Scott's replacement.”

Sharper: “And speaking of Bree and Scott....”

Knots: “I knew she had a hand in this! Couldn't stay away!”

We cut to the stage and see Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside standing at the top, Bree with a smirk on her face, clearly enjoying the chaos. Scott just looks on. Raynes and Adams notice them, and Raynes gives Bree a nod. Bree nods back and applauds.

Sharper: “Looks like our Tag Team Champions have just sent a message. James Evans may have got the win over Dustin Adams, but Raynes reminded him... he isn't Scott Burnside, and come Sunday James and Angelica will be dealing with him as Bree's partner.”

Knots: “I don't like this... how can I back Raynes and want Bree to lose?!”

Raynes and Evans bicker at each other as Breakdown cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Hana Ito appears backstage with a microphone, with Dawn Lohan next to her. Abigail Lindsay stands behind Dawn.

Hana: “Hana Ito here and I’m with Dawn Lohan, and Dawn, this Sunday, you will challenge for the SCW Adrenaline Championship. It was a bit of a surprise, but could be the perfect opportunity for you to step out on your own as you wanted to take on some singles challenges.”

Dawn: “That I did and to have it against Ravyn Taylor with we both last peaked at the same time. There’s a lot of history there and not just with me. Some others in my family may be watching this one closely.”

Dawn glances at Abigail who smirks.

Dawn: “But I know as well as anyone how tough this match is and I guess I shouldn’t be surprised I’m going to be thrown in the deep end and I relish it. So Ravyn, bring whatever games. I watched the Chamber Match. I watched everything you pulled then. I’ve known your exploits for a long time, but I hope you remember and respect mine. I’ve held a lot of gold in SCW and this Sunday, I’m looking to make this title reign of yours, one you planned for over a year and means so much to you for what it represents…a short one.”

Hana: “Thank you and good luck this Sunday.”

Dawn nods and heads off with Abigail as the scene cuts away.

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentarily pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play, as the song begins to pick up into full swing, a quick line of pyrotechnics goes off, running down across the length of the stage. Through the smoke, out pops Alistaire Allocco, with both arms raised as if in presumptive victory. He looks around before starting to head to the ring. He points to a few people in the crowd, seemingly ignoring the boos from the crowd as he heads to the ring.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco coming to the ring.”

Knots: “The world is booing him out of the building right now.”

Sharper: “One way to look at it. But Allocco not in competition tonight, nor this Sunday and rumour has it that he is not pleased.”

Knots: “Why? Did he accidentally put orange juice in his corn flakes? Did he seem off?”

Allocco reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then walks along the ring apron. He enters the ring before walking over to the corner. He asks for a microphone. Phillips walks over and extends one to him. Allocco takes it before Allocco extends his hand and shakes Phillips’s. He then steps back and looks around as the crowd boos. He looks around, only now hearing the boos, before his music fades out.

Alistaire: “You know, you really should be more inviting to fellow champions. I mean you know I am a champion, right?”

Alistaire looks around as the crowd boos some more.

Alistaire: “I mean just like the New England Patriots dominate on the gridiron, even though they’re really more from a real city like Boston, not this place that you cannot even pronounce it correctly. Come on, everyone with me. Wor-ches-ter. Not this Woo-ster. No wonder no one can understand you people. Just like I can’t understand why I am not in competition tonight or this Sunday!”

Alistaire throws his arm up in frustration. The crowd boos.

Alistaire: “I was racking my brain backstage for a long while, trying to understand why someone who is not only a past champion, but clearly going to be a future champion many more times, isn’t in competition and I got it! No one can handle me. I mean, I may not be World Champion. Sienna Swann may have been better than me that night but I sincerely doubt she would want another fight against me, not because she is a coward, but she knows I would be prepared to the highest level possible. That’s just how I’m wired! The Adrenaline Championship…I was defeated by circumstance, not because I was outdone.”

Alistaire shakes his head.

Alistaire: “SCW wanted to ensure I am only facing the highest quality of competition and they realized they could not provide that. So kudos SCW. Kudos to you for understanding what a special talent I am. But please, I need competition, heaven forbid if I become stagnant or stiff. So please, do better, SCW. Find me an opponent in two weeks. I cannot keep remaining sitting on the side lines. It’s just not becoming of a champion. I’m sure you understand!”

Alistaire brings the microphone down. His music plays again.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco wants competition, but with an air of arrogance.”

Knots: “An air of it? I’m pretty sure we’re drowning in it!”

Sharper: “He’ll be watching Bound by Blood this Sunday on the sidelines. But after…he’s hoping for something special.”

Allocco waves to the crowd as they boo him and he continues to look around the ring, playing to the crowd before the scene fades to black.

Backstage we see Liane Forte, the girlfriend of Aaron Blackbourne, seated backstage. The camera pans out to show Aaron sitting across from her.

Aaron: “You don’t need to do this.”

Liane: “I said before last week’s show I’d be up for anything. And if this is what she wants….”

Aaron: “But it’s-“

Liane: “Aaron…if this ends this with her. What she wants. She’ll get that at least. And I’ll have to deal with it. It’s what I’m willing to do to prove that I deserve you.”

Aaron: “You don’t need to prove that.”

Liane: “No…but I do need her to realize that she can’t have you.”

Aaron: “Then…”

Liane: “No need to do anything.”

Liane motions to the cameraman. She then turns and takes a deep breath.

Liane: “You want a bikini contest…all to earn a date with Aaron. I get it…you’ve got a hell of a good body. But…maybe people will realize that this is all more than skin deep. Scarlet…you’re on!”

The crowd roars. The camera focuses on them for a few moments before the scene cuts away.

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Syren vs. Josh Hudson comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “Liane accepting Scarlet Grey’s challenge.”

Knots: “She’s got to be salivating! Literally!”

Sharper: “And next, Josh Hudson and Syren face. Syren says she’ll come out alone. This match, it’s next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Syren vs. Josh Hudson

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

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words “JUST BE JEALOUS” accompanied by her heart-logo. She spins back around before pointing toward the ring and starting to head down toward it. Once at ringside she jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the jeering fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring, climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air. After a few seconds of posing she blows a kiss out to the crowd and jumps down, removing her ring jacket and putting it in the corner before jumping up and sitting on the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Syren has to be chomping at the bit for this match. She’s been demanding for months that she should get a rematch for the World Title, and in a few moments she can make her case against the man who will challenge for it this Sunday.”

Knots: “She’ll have to go it alone though. Syren decided she wanted to do this alone!”

“Judas" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson, wearing a zip up jacket. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, before heading down to the ring. As he makes his way down the ramp, his body is turned sideways as he faces the crowd with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, shouting, "I'm the best at what I do!!!" before turning and sitting against the turnbuckle, meeting the glare of Syren.

Sharper: “This Sunday, Josh Hudson has the opportunity to become a three time World Champion, and he’s made it clear he has no plans on making it easy for Sienna.”

Knots: “Of course not! He said it himself: he’s selfish and wants to be World Champion again, especially if it means not playing the third wheel in Past, Present, Future. As far as he’s concerned, this is a long time coming for him!”

The bell rings and the two competitors close in on one another. Hudson lunges in for a lockup, but Syren ducks underneath in a go-behind and grabs him in a waistlock. Hudson throws a back elbow to escape, but Syren ducks and as he spins around she cracks him in the jaw with a european uppercut! Hudson stumbles back and Syren keeps backing him up to the ropes with a series of knife edge chops before she irish whips him. Hudson rebounds and runs right into a dropkick! Hudson starts getting to his feet, but Syren begins stomping away at him, audibly yelling down at him that he stole what’s rightfully hers.

Knots: “I know she’s been desperate about getting another crack at the World Title, but Hudson cashing in his Trios contract is hardly stealing.”

Sharper: “Syren’s frustrations are clearly boiling over, but she only has herself to blame for why Mr. D is refusing to consider her for any future opportunities.”

Syren backs off, taking a moment to try and recompose herself as Hudson starts to rise, shaking off the barrage of stomps that he just ate. Syren runs off the ropes and catches the rising Hudson for a tilt-a-whirl headscissors, but Josh manages to slip his head free and just throws her face first to the mat! Syren starts to get to her feet, but Hudson expedites the process as he hauls her up into a front facelock before putting her back on the mat with a snap suplex. Josh looks down at her and just slowly shakes his head. He grabs her head and starts to pull her to her feet, but she swings up and catches him with another european uppercut! Hudson staggers slightly before stunning her with a knee to the midsection before delivering a nasty double underhook backbreaker!

Sharper: “Hudson almost absorbing that European uppercut before resuming his assault on Syren’s back!”

Knots: “I wouldn’t put it past Josh to try and strengthen that chin to eat some nasty hits. After all, one Kiss of An Angel this Sunday and it could be lights out for his World Title hopes!”

Syren rolls over to the ropes and starts using them to try and help her get back to her feet. Hudson moves in, but Syren leans more into the ropes and demands the referee make him back off. Josh just rolls his eyes and follows the referee’s orders, but the moment Syren’s regained her vertical base he moves in again, but she uses the top rope for leverage to wrap her legs around his head and neck! The referee begins to count as she tightens the hold, almost similar to a triangle choke, but when he reaches three she slingshots her back against the top rope and swings around for a hurricanrana, but Hudson suddenly wraps his arms tightly around her waist and uses the momentum to drive her into the mat with a huge powerbomb instead! The fans can’t help but cheer for the impressive counter as he stacks her up for a pin.

Syren kicks out!

Sharper: “Syren trying to bend the rules to her advantage and Hudson sabotaged that effort with a vicious powerbomb!”

Knots: “Syren’s doing whatever it takes to get a win that she knows could make a big statement in her favor, especially without anyone out here to lend her a hand. Unfortunately, I think that’s a game Josh knows all too well.”

Syren clutches at her back at she starts trying to get back to her feet, but Hudson stomps down on her back and follows up with a knee drop, continuing to target her back. He grabs Syren by the hair and drags her to her feet before hooking her for an exploder suplex, but Syren desperately starts elbowing him in the side of the head to slip free. She starts trying to put some space between them, but he grabs her from behind in a sleeper, only for Syren to sit out and drive his chin into the top of her head! Hudson stumbles back, stunned, and Syren takes a moment to recover before charging at him. He swings with a clothesline but she ducks underneath and springboards off the second rope before moonsaulting back! Hudson initially manages to catch her on his shoulder, but she quickly slips free and lands behind him before dropping him with a jumping neckbreaker! Hudson tries to get back to his feet quickly to keep Syren from building momentum, but she catches him with a savate kick that knocks him back into the corner in a seated position. She quickly closes in and starts facewashing him, again yelling at him the whole time about stealing what she feels should be her title shot. The referee manages to get between them to force her to back off, but she does so only briefly before she runs off the adjacent set of ropes and cracks him with a low-angle big boot! The fans can’t help but let out a collective “OH!” as Hudson slumps over before she pulls him out of the corner by his foot and goes for a cover.

Hudson kicks out!

Sharper: “As much as I hate the way she’s been trying to go about things lately, I still can’t deny how scrappy Syren can be when necessary.”

Knots: “She just showed Hudson what she’s really feeling about his decision to gun for the World Title before she could get her rematch for it!”

Syren doesn’t get hung up on the kickout as she hauls Hudson back to his feet before bringing him back to the center of the ring with a snapmare. She runs past him and bounces off the ropes before delivering a hard kick right to his face that floors him, then bounces off the adjacent ropes and delivers a running knee drop! Hudson clutches at his face as Syren moves to grab his leg, turning him over into a single leg boston crab! She sits as low as she can go, craning back to apply as much pressure as possible as Hudson just grits his teeth, refusing to give up when the referee asks him. He starts crawling towards the ropes, even yelling back at Syren if this is the best she can do. As he reaches out and his fingertips graze the bottom rope, Syren stands back up and adjusts to a higher angle so she can start stomping away at the back of his head! Some fans wince at this as Hudson tries to weather the storm, reaching out and grabbing the bottom rope to force a break. Syren hangs onto the hold until the referee reaches four before letting go and getting in his face about it, earning her some jeers. She shrugs this off though as she starts climbing to the top rope, her focus on catching Hudson once he’s back to his feet. The boos begin to get louder though, and Syren just laughs to herself at the reaction… until she looks up towards the stage, where Sienna Swann and the Truelove Twins have now made their way out to. Syren just glares up at them, but the shift in focus proves costly as by the time she remembers what she needs to do, Hudson is meeting her on the second rope before bringing her down the hard way with an overhead belly-to-belly superplex!

Sharper: “Syren momentarily distracted, and Hudson made her pay in a big way! But the bigger question right now is why on earth Sienna and the Trueloves have made their way out here.”

Knots: “I used to say it would be to lend Hudson a helping hand, but that ship’s long sailed. Maybe she’s just doing some last minute scouting with a front row seat before Sunday?”

Hudson slowly gets back to his feet, trying to shake off the effects of Syren’s onslaught. He looks up at the stage to see Sienna and the Trueloves and almost laughs to himself over it before shifting gears, hauling Syren back to her feet before taking her over with a german suplex! He keeps his hands locked and pops his hips to return them both to a vertical base before delivering a second one! He repeats the motion and glances up at Sienna on the stage before landing a third one, this time sticking the bridge!

Syren kicks out! Hudson is undeterred as he drags Syren close to the ropes before sliding out of the ring so he can drape her face over the apron. Sienna and the Trueloves begin to slowly make their way down to the ring, which catches Josh’s attention as he watches them carefully as they stop roughly three-quarters of the way down the ramp, Sienna giving him her best innocent smile. Hudson shrugs this off before returning his attention to Syren, but as he goes to make her Bite The Curb she slides herself completely back into the ring and Josh’s sole hits nothing but the apron! Hudson’s annoyed by this as he quickly goes to get back into the ring, but Syren leaps up and stuns him with a knee to the gut, catching him in the ropes! She turns him around and drapes him back so that he’s balanced over the middle rope while his upper body’s in the ring, taking advantage by driving him into the mat while he’s hung up with the Syren’s Call! She quickly grabs him by the arms and drags him to the middle of the ring before adding an exclamation point in the form of the Blonde Satisfaction and going for the cover, hooking the leg!

1…

2…

Hudson gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Whatever their reason is for being out here, the presence of the Beauty Factory is clearly throwing both competitors off their game.”

Knots: “I’d normally say Sienna just has that effect on people, but Hudson’s seemingly kicked her and the rest of Past, Present, Future to the curb and we all know how much Syren hates Sienna’s guts!”

Syren gets up and takes a moment to yell at the referee to count faster, claiming she should’ve had this match won by now. The referee just reaffirms the last count was a two much to her frustration before she starts pulling Hudson up, signaling for the Total Makeover. She doesn’t get very far before Hudson drops back to the mat as dead weight, further frustrating Syren as she tries to muscle him up, even tying up his arms in a straight jacket to try and better control him. As she looks to switch gears and drop him with the Syren Song, Hudson suddenly frees his arms and lifts her onto his shoulders before dropping her with the Big Fat Kill! The fans can’t help but cheer for the surprise counter as both competitors lie on the mat, Hudson unable to follow up right away. The camera switches to the ramp where we see Sienna say something to Paris and London, who both nod before the three of them begin to surround the ring, Sienna on one side and the twins on the other. Hudson manages to get up to his knees before locking eyes with Sienna, who’s smiling at him. He can’t help but smirk, almost daring her to try something before their title match. Hudson’s smirk fades, however, when he glances over just in time to see Paris pull Syren out of the ring before both Trueloves violently hurl her into the steel steps! The fans boo this, and it only gets louder when it becomes clear the referee saw the whole thing and immediately calls for the bell!

Sharper: “Oh come on! This was an intense back-and-forth clash between two of the best SCW has to offer, regardless of whether or not you agree with their methods, and Sienna and the Trueloves had to go and ruin it!”

Knots: “Well, Syren gets the win, but probably not in the way that’s going to help her case any. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if Dark Fantasy hadn’t been forced to stay backstage maybe this wouldn’t have happened!”

Hudson glares at Sienna as the Trueloves rejoin her, and the camera manages to catch her through the boos telling Hudson they could’ve had his back, but now they’re his downfall just like they’ll be this Sunday. The three of them begin to back up the rampway with grins as Hudson stares a hole straight through them, the referee exiting the ring to check on Syren as she slumps against the steps clutching at the back of her head.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown…”

Shots of Dylan Howell, Chris Cannon, Donovan Kayl, Trinity Street & Kennedy Street standing in the ring from earlier along with shots of Xander Valentine still wanting to fight play.

Voice: “What will happen when the Beauty Network and the Street Family clash tonight in the fight both seem to be ready to go for…”

Datura then comes on the screen before we see Alexis Quinne and Regan Street. This is followed by a shot of Derek Adonis.

Voice: “Will Datura return tonight? What will Alexis Quinne and Regan Street have to say or do? And Derek Adonis makes his first TV Championship defense in what he says will be a dramatic new way? All that and more as Breakdown continues…”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The camera pans down to the desk in the SCW Studios in Toronto. Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters sit at the desk.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Toronto, here to the SCW Studios. Spirit Dansby here with SCW Hall of Famer Shawn Winters and things are heating up with just days before Under Attack.”

Shawn: “Not surprised that Syren was a target for Sienna. But she’s just asking for something there.”

Spirit: “She knows that Syren is not getting a title shot barring something completely unforeseen.”

Shawn: “Yeah, but she is asking to be a target and then the message to Josh. Ensuring he lost tonight. Then saying he’ll lose this Sunday. It’s a minor thing, but it’s a reminder of what Josh got rid of. He’s not going to be bought in by mindgames, but there may be some buyer’s remorse after the Trios cash-in.”

Spirit: “Especially if Josh loses. But we will find out. This Sunday, it’s Under Attack. Live on Pay Per View!”

“Bulletproof” by Godsmack starts to play as the Under Attack logo comes up on the screen. We then see stills of every match come up on the screen behind Spirit and Shawn.

Josh Hudson vs. Sienna Swann

SCW World Championship

Spirit: “Sienna Swann has no problem going right up to Josh Hudson and showing him what he’s losing out by using his Trios Tournament shot on this opportunity.”

Shawn: “PPF is essentially done. And Josh Hudson is looking to become World Champion one more time. He faces Sienna Swann who showed just moments ago she’ll do anything to hold onto it. But did she make a mistake attacking Syren?”

Superhero vs. Casterillo

Spirit: “This superhero has shown up attacking Casterillo and others. Casterillo tried to get him tonight.”

Shawn: “He’ll get him this Sunday. The question is who this guy is and if he’s ready for the sudden impact of Casterillo!”

Sam Raine vs. Slayter McKinney

Spirit: “Slayter looked a bit better as the match went on. Sam Raine will be a big challenge.”

Shawn: “Former number one contender to multiple titles. Sam could get a big win here against someone who is tearing it up or Slayter could right the ship some more. Can she focus?”

Andrew Raynes vs. Marie Jones

Spirit: “The first of two matches with Andrew Raynes. This one more personal than anything.”

Shawn: “Personal because Marie cost Andrew the Adrenaline Title and Raynes has been set off but this is all a plan by Marie to get some measure of revenge for Raynes never giving her her rematch after Dylan got involved. Some poetic justice.”

Redemption vs. Bree Lancaster & Andrew Raynes

SCW World Tag Team Championship

Spirit: “Andrew Raynes will be pulling double-duty, thanks to his friendship with Bree. And he’s now defending the World Tag Team Championship!”

Shawn: “Things changed in a hurry for the challengers. They went in thinking Bree’s vanity was too much, but Andrew Raynes changes it all. James Evans survived tonight. As did Angelica Jones. They’ll be ready this Sunday.”

Scarlet Grey vs. Liane Forte

Bikini Contest

Spirit: “I can’t believe we’re seeing it, but it looks like it will happen.”

Shawn: “Scarlet has convinced Liane that this will end it, but in a bikini contest and Scarlet knows she looks good. Not just that, but if she wins, she gets her date with Aaron Blackbourne! She gets what she wants!”

Selena Frost vs. Christy Matthews

Spirit: “Selena Frost will get what she wants, a US Title shot in two weeks on Breakdown, but she has a warm up this Sunday, against Christy Matthews.”

Shawn: “Bumped from Adrenaline Title contention, thanks to Katya, but she gets to rekindle a professional rivalry with Selena Frost in what could be a hell of a match.”

Dawn Lohan vs. Ravyn Taylor

SCW Adrenaline Championship

Spirit: “Instead, Dawn Lohan, who wants to go on her own again, she’ll get her chance, facing Ravyn Taylor for the Adrenaline Championship.”

Shawn: “And they were going at it for the World Title a few years ago. A lot has changed since then, but Dawn Lohan wanted this. Ravyn Taylor is champion again and who knows what she’ll try and pull off.”

Katie Steward vs. Bianca Evans

Tiara on a Pole Match

Spirit: “It’s going to be over for these two. Bianca Evans will face Katie Steward in Katie’s tiara on a pole match.”

Shawn: “For how personal this has gotten, I never thought I’d say we’d see a brawl with Katie Steward, but we’re going to see it and she may be ready for it. And one thing there, the match doesn’t end until that tiara is pulled down. Bianca hopes to take it from Katie.”

Owen Cruze vs. Giovanni Aries

Spirit: “Owen Cruze wanted to face Giovanni Aries. Aries tried to talk sense into him tonight, as best as he could, but Owen is not having it.”

Shawn: “After the attack at Under Attack, Owen Cruze is not interested in whatever web Giovanni is spinning!”

Datura vs. Alexis Quinne

Spirit: “We’ll find out if anything changes here, but Alexis Quinne will face Datura, getting her opportunity for revenge for that piledriver.”

Shawn: “Regan Street may have something to say, but the suspension is up. Rematch was given to her by Datura before she piledrove her. Last time it was respectful. Now…not so much.”

Blake Mason vs. Cassidy Carter

Number One Contender to the SCW World Championship

Spirit: “Blake Mason and Cassidy Carter made a claim and a challenge. At Bound by Blood, one will be the number one contender to the SCW World Championship.”

Shawn: “Two very different personalities. Blake Mason has been darn near unstoppable for months and Cassidy Carter has turned it on as of late. One is going to be getting the biggest opportunity of their careers. And Sienna Swann already has started to focus on both.”

Trinity Street, Kennedy Street, Donovan Kayl, Chris Cannon & Dylan Howell vs. London Truelove, Paris Truelove, Ikiro Yoshida, Xander Valentine & Dante McCaffery

Elimination Rules

Spirit: “And then the big fight – five on five. Elimination rules. Street Family faces off against the Beauty Factory and the Network.”

Shawn: “The Network and Trueloves went for blood and looked to make a statement against anyone who has been a problem. They’re not kidding around. But neither is the Street Family. Everyone has been affected by them and they’re going to go to all-out war this Sunday!”

The Bound by Blood logo comes up on the screen.

Spirit: “This Sunday, Bound by Blood. The five on five match makes that clear just what that means, but with some huge matches, including the World Title, this will be one to watch.”

Winters: “Bound by Blood in that those tight friendships, alliances, they were challenged hard in this last month and this Sunday, it all comes to ahead.”

Spirit: “Live on pay per view, this Sunday!”

The scene then cuts to a live shot inside the DCU Center in Worchester, Massachusetts.

Spirit: “But we are far from done tonight. There’s going to be a fight still to come. We’ll see more action from Worchester, Massachusetts as SCW Breakdown continues after this!”

The scene continues to show from Worchester before the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

“A Stranger I Remain” by Free Dominguez plays throughout the arena as the crowd cheers. A few moments pass before Alexis Quinne walks out from the back, dressed in a leather jacket, and scanning the arena.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Worchester, Massachusetts for Breakdown and we kick things back off with Alexis Quinne joining us.”

Knots: “Is Datura going to be here? She’s free to be here!”

Sharper: “I don’t know. SCW obviously is hoping that’s the case.”

Quinne turns and heads to the ring, a focused looked on her face, as the crowd cheers her. She heads down to the ring, ignoring the fans in this case, as she walks down the rampway. She hops onto the apron and rolls into the ring. She then pivots to her feet as she stands up and looks around. She then goes to the corner and asks for a microphone. She’s handed one by Jason Phillips. She then steps out and backs up to the middle of the ring. She looks around before turning to the main camera.

Quinne: “So here we are….thirty days passed. Where are you, chica?! Huh?!”

Quinne looks around.

Quinne: “Already showing your old games of making it so the match would be this Sunday. A bit more than the thirty days I’d have to wait for the rematch. But I figured you’d at least come and let me see you…see the face of the woman who piledrove me. See the face of the chica who tried to end my career just because I was nothing more than a message for you!”

The crowd roars.

Quinne: “I figured you’d at least be the one who would have the guts to come and look me in the eye before the rematch. At least give me that. You have no problem calling out the entire Helms clan. What about me? Huh?”

Quinne paces.

Quinne: “Maybe I was wrong-“

Just then the sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is heard with a roar before “Who’s Next” by Porcelain Black starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd roars as a few moments pass. Quinne glares at the entrance way before Regan Street walks out from the back with Mikaela Street. Regan starts to head to the ring.

Sharper: “Wait a minute. Regan Street now coming to the ring.”

Knots: “She’s not the one facing Datura this Sunday. Alexis is. But Regan doesn’t want to wait either! She wants Datura tonight too!”

Regan Street walks to the ring, looking right at Alexis Quinne. Mikaela follows her every step. They reach the ringside area and Mikaela goes to the steel steps, but stops as Regan keeps walking around the ring. Alexis watches her and Mikaela as Regan goes around to Jason Phillips. She demands a microphone. Phillips turns and grabs one, handing her one. Regan turns and walks over to the steel steps opposite Mikaela as Alexis stands in the ring watching both.

Alexis: “Wait your turn Regan!”

Regan: “You know full well she would want both of us out here. And if you’re the message, even if I could’ve come up with a better one without trying, I’m out here because I want that bitch to make her way to this ring so we can get through this appetizer that is the two of you fighting, so I can finally get my hands on her since SCW isn’t budging on that.”

Alexis steps up to Regan.

Alexis: “Or are you and your sister going to puff your chests and try to take me out?”

Regan: “Don’t tempt me Quinne.”

The two women look at one another.

Regan: “I don’t want to be in this ring with you. I hate that I even have to be here. But I’m not going to let Datura think she has ANYTHING on me. On top of that, you’re lucky. Because for one night, there’s something else I would rather be a part of than destroying Datura.”

Quinne and Regan look at one another.

Quinne: “Well-“

“The car’s on fire, and there’s no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows…

The government is corrupt and we’re on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.

It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves. Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upward, everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said ‘Kiss me. You’re beautiful. These are truly the last days. You grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.”

The introduction to Datura’s theme music plays throughout the arena as the crowd roars. Regan and Alexis both turn to the entrance way watching and waiting as “Dead Flag Blues” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The crowd continues to buzz, getting ready for the potential clash as the music continues to play.

Sharper: “Ask and ye shall receive!”

Knots: “Datura picking the right moment it seems! Has both Regan and Alexis out there!”

A few more moments of music play before it fades out. The crowd boos a bit as Regan steps up to the ropes, glaring at the entrance way, and Alexis just looks down, annoyed. A few moments pass as the boos continue before we hear the sound of clapping over the soundsystem. Alexis looks around as Regan just continues to glare. Datura’s voice then booms through the arena.

Datura: “Oh how nice to know I can still pull the strings. Regan is right. This is about her. But it’s about you too Alexis. And I just hope I don’t have the desire to do as I did…as she did…to you again this Sunday.”

The crowd roars as Alexis looks around, trying to see if she can find her.

Datura: “And don’t worry…you’ll see plenty of my face…both of you. As I will haunt you both!”

Datura’s voice disappears as the crowd roars. Regan just looks down as Alexis Quinne continues to scan the arena. The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Regan Street walks backstage with Mikaela, taking a few steps before we notice her kicking at foot locker hard, causing it to bounce off the wall and back. Regan lets out an angry yell as she looks around. Mikaela just watches.

Sharper: “That was the scene backstage during the commercial break.”

Knots: “Regan frustrated. I’d be too. Datura taunting. Not part of the elimination match this Sunday. Not how she figured this second half of the year would go.”

Regan takes a moment before then heading off as Mikaela follows after.

Ace Marshall 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 is propelled from underneath the ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and drops to his knees on the ramp, the camera right in his face. Max yells at the camera before he stands on his feet. Max looks around the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is sporting a black and orange tanktop. However, the tanktop has a Guns n Roses Appette for Destruction esue design with the skulls clearly showing Dante McCaffery, Jack Parker, Xander Valentine, Savali and Ms. Budde on the cross with the top reading "Rock N Roll Revenge Tour". Max flashes the shirt to the camera before walking to the other side of the stage. Max then walks to the middle of the ramp and storms down the ring.

Phillips: From San Francisco, California,  weighing in at two hundred, ten pounds....The Rock N' Roll Unicorn, "Mad" Max Kaaane!

Max walks down to the ring, looking around the crowd, yelling to them. Max once again eyes the camera and he eyes it for a few seconds. The youngster picks up his pace and walks past the camera towards the apron. He runs into the ring and immediately runs up the top rope. Max yells to the crowd and then cheer as he looks to his left and then his right. He motions for the crowd to make some noise before he jumps off the ropes. He retreats to the corner and starts moving around. He sees he camera and flashes his tanktop again. Max takes off his tanktop and tosses it to the crowd. He yells at the referee as he paces back and forth.

Sharper: “Max Kane, former World Tag Team Champion, is in action here tonight.

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

ADRENALIZE ME

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

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Master of the Universe Freddy Mercury was referring to in that song, Ace Marshall!"

The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over it, landing inside the ring on her feet before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring just as Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall, former SCW World Champion, stepping into the ring against Max Kane. It is his second match back. He gained a DQ win over the SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann, after the Beauty Factory got involved.”

Knots: “Let’s be honest. Ace probably deserved it.”

The ref calls for the bell. Max comes out of the corner. Ace turns and winks at Cassidy, only to turn into an open punch to the face. Ace leans into the ropes, then comes back with haymaker. Max staggers. Ace charges, only for Max to leap up and connect with a dropkick.

Ace hits the mat. Max runs into and bounces off of the ropes, landing another dropkick to the side of Ace’s head. Max then grabs Ace off of the mat, only for Ace to fire away with a European uppercut. Ace then grabs Max and plants him with a double arm DDT. Ace then goes for the cover.

Max kicks out.

Ace grabs Max off of the mat and hits a few forearms before whipping Max into the corner. Ace charges, only for Max to get the boot up. Ace stumbles out of the corner as Max climbs to the top. Ace turns around, holding his jaw as Max leaps off of the top, connecting with a missile dropkick. Max then hooks the leg.

Ace shoots the shoulder up!

Sharper: “Ace and Max taking it to one another.”

Knots: “Both are fighting to gain and maintain that upper hand.”

Max lifts Ace off of the mat, but Ace lands a few forearms and whips Max into the ropes. Max fires back with a running high knee, knocking Ace into the ropes as well. Ace comes back, going for a haymaker, but Max dunks it. Ace spins around and Max takes him down with a running cutter. Max smirks at Ace before going to the corner. As Max climbs to the top, Ace is shown slowly climbing to his feet.

Knots: “Max going to the top again. How many times has he been injured for doing stupid stuff like this?”

Sharper: “As the saying goes, some people never learn.”

Max leaps off of the top rope, but Ace spins around and catches him with a European uppercut. Max crumples to the mat as Ace drops down and hooks the leg.

Max shoots the shoulder up. Ace scoffs at the referee before grabbing Max off of the mat. Ace lands a few punches, before spinning Max around, hooking him then driving him to the mat with an Olympic slam. Ace hooks the leg once again.

Max kicks out once more. Ace lifts Max off of the mat, but Max fires away with a European uppercut. Max then connects with a dropkick. Ace hits the mat then springs to his feet, only for Max to hit another dropkick. Ace hits the mat then uses the ropes to help him to his feet. Max runs over and takes him down with a running head scissors. Ace gets to one knee, only for Max to grab him and drop him with a swinging neckbreaker. Max runs to the ropes, jumps onto the top rope, walks to the middle and performs a Moonsault placha onto Ace and goes for the cover.

Sharper: “Max hitting that plancha. He normally does that to the outside.”

Knots: “Maybe he was playing it safe? You think. Who am I kidding? There is nothing safe about that kid.”

The ref makes the count.

Ace kicks out. Max quickly gets to his feet and runs towards the ropes, jumping onto the second rope then climbs to the top before leaping off, going for the H.F.G. Ace rolls out of the way just in time as Max crashes and burns.

Knots: “Oh Christ. We need to call the EMTs. That looked ugly.”

Sharper: “Max Kane going for one of his signature moves but Ace Marshall, potentially using that experience factor, rolled out of the way just in the nick of time.”

Ace uses the ropes to get to his feet. He stomps on the back of Max’s head, before grabbing Max off of the mat. Ace lands a few strikes, only for Max to block one then fire back with a few shots of his own. Max staggers Ace, going for another punch, but Ace dunks under. Ace then hooks Max, going for another Olympic Slam, but Max floats over and spins around, only for Ace to kick Max, hook him before driving him to the mat with the Ace’s Wild. Max hits the mat and Ace goes for the cover.

The ref calls for the bell as Cassidy slides into the ring. Cassidy mocks Max as he slowly begins to stir, holdings his head. Ace and Cassidy are shown gloating in the ring before making their exit.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall victorious here tonight, taking advantage of that crash and burn on Max’s part.”

Knots: “I believe he should invest in an assortment of helmets.”

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Hana Ito standing with Ravyn Taylor, who smiles while showing off the SCW Adrenaline Championship over her shoulder. She looks around as Hana turns to her.

Hana: “Hana Ito here and I’m with the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Ravyn Taylor and Ravyn, we heard from Dawn Lohan earlier. But also first, I should ask about Syren. She was attacked by Sienna Swann-“

Ravyn: “Are we her babysitter?”

Hana: “No, just-“

Ravyn: “You assumed that we would just come like a pack and strike. She asked us to remain backstage. We listened. And now, all Sienna Swann has accomplished, and SCW in turn by not preventing the assault, is give her another reason to feel she should get her hands on Sienna.”

Hana: “Fair enough…now-“

Ravyn: “Dawn, right? I shall just cut this interview a bit shorter by shortening your parts. I heard Dawn’s comments earlier. First off, she need not fear my respect for her talents. But if that’s her rah-rah speech, I regret to inform you that it left me a bit wanting. I was hoping for a bit more oompf. Maybe if it wasn’t for some other item she referenced taking my attention. Then again, we all know what that’s pointing to, right Abigail. Never fear, I’ve seen your tweetings…I was unimpressed. Do better. As for Dawn…she will need to do better. I have plans for the Adrenaline Championship. Just like I did with every other title I’ve won and Dawn’s return to singles competition will not be the reason it fails. Quoth the Ravyn, Nevermore.”

The camera focuses on Ravyn as she looks into the camera and smirks before we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

A clearly bothered Casterillo is caught by one of SCW's cameras backstage, walking down one of the corridors of the DCU Center.  This is definitely one of the few times that Casterillo has been out in the light during a Breakdown night, minus being in the ring.  Despite looking very preoccupied, he is making it clear who he is after.

Casterillo:  "I know your false self is here!  Show yourself without being a coward!"

He turns as he reaches an intersection to the right, which leads him out to the concourse, where he sees another sight that he clearly does not want to see.  Not a random superhero, but the sight of the one woman on the planet that he never wanted to see again.

Shadron:  "There you are."

Casterillo:  "Go away, I am busy."

Shadron scoffs, not showing him any pity, especially after what he did to her.  She still sports the cast that conceals her damaged left arm, damage that Casterillo himself caused.

Shadron:  "Yeah, running around like a chicken with its head cut off."

Casterillo:  "Hey!  I could cut your head off right here if I wanted, and you know DAMN well I am capable of it!"

Shadron shakes her head, actually smiling.

Shadron:  "No.  You are not.  And clearly you have no idea what you have done.  Look, I tried.  I tried to give you your space, but I just cannot do it.  Standing right here is where I belong Lawrence, and from what I can see?  You need me."

Casterillo's eyes look as if they could kill.

Casterillo:  "I do not have time to deal with you right now.  You should not even be here.  This is no place for someone like you."

Shadron:  "You cannot shoo me away like a fly this time Lawrence.  I bought a ticket."

Casterillo:  "Good for you.  Goodbye."

Casterillo turns to walk away, but Shadron grabs for his left arm with her good right arm. Casterillo spins back around and with his arm whips her towards the nearest wall.  She however is able to stop her momentum before looking at him, glaring at him, before stomping right up to him, at the same time speaking to him.

Shadron:  "Look.  I know you despise this superhero and I know you despise me.  But me telling you that I love you is not just words Lawrence!  Has it ever dawned on you that maybe, just maybe, that you are MY hero?  Take this to heart.  When you next see him, take him out!  Do not do it for you.  Hell, do not even do it for me!  Just deal with your business and know that no matter what, I will ALWAYS be RIGHT HERE waiting for you!"

With no warning with her good right arm, Shadron shoves the much bigger Casterillo up against the wall that they are near and immediately stands up on her tippy toes and slaps a kiss on his lips.  When she is done she backs away, spins, and stomps off, much like how Casterillo does. Casterillo watches her go, looking even more bothered than before.

Knots:  "Wow.  Apparently more issues for Casterillo, and this one looks extremely personal!"

Sharper:  "Yeah, she got to him, but did tell him to dispense of the random superhero when he next gets the chance to do so.  That is something the two of them are clearly on the same page with, despite whatever history they seem to have with each other."

Knots:  "With Casterillo getting motivation, even with personal issues, I know of a superhero that might be short-lived."    

Adonis & Manvel KABLAMaerobics TV Championship Challenge

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be “graced” by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis!

He steps out, the SCW Television Championship around his waist. Wearing a warm-up suit, he steps out amidst spotlights of every colour of the rainbow alongside Cookie. Cookie has a backpack with a couple of yoga mats sticking out of it. Adonis just continues to strut on his way to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Cookie, he is the reigning and defending SCW Television Champion, Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

The two head to the ring before Adonis walks over to the steel steps. Adonis steps up the ramp, taking each step with added emphasis. He gets onto the apron and after winking at a particularly friendly female and pulls himself through the ropes. He gyrates just a little bit in the ring (it’s better than his twerking – trust me) as his music fades. Cookie enters with the bag and puts it down as Adonis walks over to Phillips asking for the microphone.

Sharper: “Derek Adonis out here with Cookie and Cookie has some props.”

Knots: “Workout equipment. I know you don’t use any of it. Haven’t in years probably. Do you even know if you still have feet?”

Sharper: “Of course. I have to put shoes on.”

Knots: “I assumed you just never took them off!”

Sharper: “Anyway…Derek Adonis coming out first. An oddity here in SCW as the champion usually comes out second.”

Phillips hands him the microphone. The crowd roars as Adonis turns back to the middle of the ring. Adonis looks around.

Adonis: “Don’t worry everyone. Man Mountain is here and now as the Champion of Television, the master of the KABLAMA Sutra has come here with the toughest challenge yet. It seems like SCW wants to make things….ahem….hard for me. Because after our classic last time I held this title, I have to face my Manly Brother again. That’s right. Tonight…I have to defeat….MANVEL!”

Adonis points to the stage as “All Around the Stars” by Mercy Drive begins to play throughout the arena. Manvel suddenly appears on the Tron as he hops out and poses at the entranceway. Manvel starts making his way down to the ring trying to kiss all the girls, most of them slap the greaser wrestler who wears more body oil than a 2-pound Chicken Fryer. Manvel hops around excited as he gets a positive reaction. He slides into the ring literally and gets up, he poses and hops on to the second turnbuckle as the crowd cheers. Adonis and him fist bump as Cookie and him jump up and chest bump. Manvel then turns to Adonis.

Sharper: “Manvel about to face Adonis, but Adonis isn’t done yet.”

Adonis: “Now, this will be both of our toughest matches yet, but never fear, because as Man Mountain…well, we’re going to do it all for you. To make it even tougher, this will be the first ever sponsored by KABLAMaerobics and KABLAMA Sutra: The Series, it’s the first ever KABLAMARAMA Endurance Competition!”

The crowd roars as Cookie flips out the two yoga mats and turns them over to create a soft surface.

Adonis: “And for all of those in the crowd, you can pose along, but don’t try some of the riskier maneuvers. As we will be fighting to the DEATH….of cramps and pain. And whoever loses their balance first, as balance is always important when you’re with your gender-non-specific partner…..KABLAM.”

Adonis turns and looks at the referee.

Adonis: “Cookie is the judge. She can help.”

Cookie bounces as the crowd roars and she pulls off her shirt, revealing the official KABLAMaerobics official’s shirt. She then looks around and the SCW referee shakes his head and calls for the bell.

Sharper: “Well here we go. What are you doing, Knots?”

Knots: “Getting ready to join in. I need to make sure I’m limber.”

Sharper: “And why’s that?”

Knots: “Hey! You don’t judge. You just stay there with your non-taking off of shoes!”

The bell sounds as Adonis and Manvel go to start before Adonis stops.

Adonis: “Hold it…Mr. Official. Could you help us get something from under the ring? Jason too.”

Jason then looks around. Adonis walks over.

Adonis: “I need something to hold this….KABLAM!”

The crowd roars as Adonis shrugs. Phillips and the official check under the ring and pull out a micstand. They move it into the ring and the official places it in front of Adonis. Adonis nods and places the microphone on it.

Adonis: “Thank you.”

Adonis looks around.

Adonis: “We really need headset microphones for this.”

Manvel steps over to the microphone.

Manvel: “Don’t you know it daddy.”

Adonis turns to Manvel.

Adonis: “Are you ready?”

Manvel holds up a finger before going to the corner and grabbing his bottle of oil. He turns back to the yoga mat and starts to baste himself in baby oil yet again, covering himself, including his legs and his boots, soaking the ring canvas and the yoga mat. Manvel then gives Adonis a thumbs up.

Adonis: “Alright. First, we’re going to start getting limber. Need to be nice and loose…”

Adonis looks around, shifty eyes as crowd members yell out “KABLAM!”

We cut to the crowd to see one fan in the crowd in the opening starting to stretch with Adonis as Manvel as they start to stretch in the ring. Knots is shown stretching too.

Adonis: “Make sure to work the legs. Today, we’re going to focus on the legs. Makes for a sturdy foundation for pages 98 thru 234 in the KABLAMA Sutra!”

Adonis then leans forward and stretches out his legs as Manvel does the same. Cookie gets close, checking their form. We cut to more shots of crowd members doing the same. Adonis then switches legs and Manvel does, but slips a bit. He maintains balance though as they hold the position for a few seconds. Adonis gets up and starts to get loose as Manvel does too and slips again from the oil all over his yoga mat, canvas around him and boots.

Adonis: “Alright. So this is about endurance. No one wants to come up short there, leaving their partner unsatisfied. So! Cookie!”

Cookie runs over to Adonis.

Adonis: “We start with five Cookie curls. You too can try but only with a consenting partner!”

Adonis lifts Cookie up across his arms and starts to bend down a bit while lifting her up. Adonis shows some difficulty.

Sharper: “The hell am I jumping in your arms, Knots.”

Knots: “Don’t worry. I can’t carry someone with your heft. But look at Adonis go!”

Sharper: “Look at some of the fans.”

We cut to see one male fan lifting their girlfriend as we cut to another part up in the stands to see two male fans doing the same. Adonis finishes his fifth, a bit winded, but remains standing.

Adonis: “Your turn, Manvel.”

Manvel smiles as Cookie turns and jumps up and Manvel nearly loses her, but catches her. He then lifts her up as the crowd starts to count with Manvel. 1! 2! 3! 4! 5!

Cookie puts Manvel down. Manvel notably is in better condition that Adonis. Adonis turns and takes a few deep breaths before continuing.

Adonis: “Now time to get into something else useful in a number of situations!”

Adonis gets down on all fours. Cookie leans the microphone down.

Adonis: “Remember, you need good arm strength. You don’t need a catastrophe waiting underneath you!”

Adonis then does one push-up. Knots gets down at ringside, on the mats, and starts to do the same. Manvel follows. They start to do some push-ups. The crowd counts both, but separately. 1! 1! 2! 2! Manvel gets up again and then moves to one-arm. Adonis looks over and nods. Adonis keeps doing them normally as the crowd roars. 3! 3! Manvel goes for a fourth, but his hand slips and he drops. Cookie suddenly pulls a whistle out of her top and starts to blow it, looking at Manvel. Adonis completes his as the SCW referee looks confused before Cookie calls for the bell. The bell sounds.

Adonis: “Ah…sorry Man…vel.”

Manvel rolls over, snapping his fingers is disappointment as he nods. Cookie explains the decision before turning and helping Manvel up.

Phillips: “As a result of losing his balance, Manvel has been disqualified, and therefore, your winner and STILL SCW Television Champion…Derek Adonis!”

The crowd cheers as “Wanna B Ur Lovr” plays. Derek Adonis is handed his Television Championship. Adonis turns to the microphone.

Adonis: “Tonight, the KABLAMARAMA goes to me, but remember, everyone, keep limber, keep loose, and keep your bodies hard…KABLAM!”

Adonis holds up the SCW Television Championship as he turns and Manvel then raises his hand. He slips a bit from the oil before Cookie steadies him. The crowd roars as Knots sits back down.

Knots: “Man…I feel great.”

Sharper: “So Kennedy and you are-“

Knots: “None of your business, Sharper!”

Sharper: “You’ve made it clear you’ve been using it!”

Knots: “Shut up!”

The camera focuses on Adonis, Manvel and Cookie for a few moments longer as we see ring crew members heading to the ring, presumably to deal with the oil stains from Manvel.

Backstage we see Mr. D talking to one of SCW road agents, Dillusion, in his office.

Mr. D: “I know, but I can’t do that. It’s a liability.”

Dillusion: “I don’t know if Xander is going to give you a choice. He wants something, he’s going to try and find a way to get it.”

Mr. D shakes his head before the door opens and Justin Davis bursts into the room.

Davis: “Where is she?!”

Mr. D: “Justin-“

Davis: “Rachel! She’s the last one on my list. You promised you would have her face me.”

Mr. D: “She’s still on maternity leave.”

Davis: “I couldn’t give Josh the ass-kicking he deserved, but the least I could’ve gotten is to cap everything off in my hometown against Rachel Foxx!”

Mr. D: “Unfortunately my hands are tied.”

Davis: “Are they? Are they really tied?”

Davis then leans in and headbutts Mr. D, knocking him down. Dillusion steps in.

Davis: “Hands still tied. Get me the damn match you promised.”

Dillusion: “Justin. You’re out. You gotta go. Can I get some help?!”

Justin keeps trying to get free to berate Justin.

Justin: “Let me go!”

Dillusion shoves her back.

Dillusion: “She’s not coming back Justin. I know her as well as anyone.”

Justin: “She came back for your decrepit ass, she can for someone worth her time.”

Dean Black then heads over as Dillusion looks at Davis before officials come over and Davis is led off. Dillusion and Dean head over to Mr. D.

Mr. D winces, half out of it.

Dillusion: “Do you know where you are?”

Mr. D: “Toronto…right?”

Dean: “We need an ambulance.”

Mr. D turns and looks around, grabbing at the desk as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

MOMENTS AGO:

We see Davis in Mr. D’s face in his office with Dillusion.

Sharper: “Shocking turn of events before the commercial break.”

Mr. D: “Unfortunately my hands are tied.”

Davis: “Are they? Are they really tied?”

Davis then leans in and headbutts Mr. D, knocking him down. Dillusion steps in.

Davis: “Hands still tied. Get me the damn match you promised.”

Dillusion: “Justin. You’re out. You gotta go. Can I get some help?!”

Dillusion pulls Davis back as we cut to a panning shot of the crowd.

Sharper: “And during the break, Mr. D was helped into a car and taken to the hospital. We assume a concussion.”

Knots: “And right now, we really don’t have anyone steering the ship. Davis upset that his hope for revenge, for retribution, and for redemption, may not be completed. And he’s been escorted out too.”

Konrad Raab vs. Crissy Gardner

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall…”

The screech of a vulture is heard over the loud speaker before the opening guitar riff of Stitched Up Hearts' "Is This The Way To Hell" comes shredding through. The fans start to anticipate who is going be walking through the curtain. As the fans in the arena are cheering wildly as the lights in the arena as pair of strobe lights situated on the left and right side of the stage start to flash. The one on the light is purple in color while the one on the right is white, but the pair are flashing alternatively to give the illusion that they are custom cop car lights.

Phillips: “Introducing first, hailing from Cleveland, Ohio and weighing in at 132 lbs., she is “The Serial Thrilla”... CRISSY GARDNER!”

A spotlight focuses on the center of the stage where Crissy is standing with both of her arms raised in the air. She's wearing nearly complete black wrestling attire with the exception of purple accents. As she just stands there listening to the fans cheer her she starts to bring down her arms and she starts loosening up her wrists Ember Young and Ash Harte make their way on to the stage. Ember is seen clapping her hands, but Ash is carrying what appears to be a water bottle and a wooden stool in each of her hands. Crissy starts to make her way down to the ring shadow boxing along the way with Ember and Ash right behind her.  

Crissy pulls herself up onto the apron as they both on the apron. Crissy just stands on the apron for several moments as she watches the fans with a smile on her face. Meanwhile, Ember and Ash climb in to the ring together. Ash sets the stool down in one of the corners while Ember tells Crissy it's time to get in to the ring. Once Crissy climbs in to the ring she wastes no time in sitting down on the stool with Ash squirting some of the water from the bottle in to her mouth much like a boxer. Crissy even knocks her hands together as if she were wearing boxing gloves as she awaits the start of the match.

Sharper: “Crissy Gardner, along with Samantha Raine, have been looking to break into the Tag Team Championship conversation recently.”

Knots: “Yeah, but she doesn’t have Raine in her corner. Tonight, it’s one on one.”

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.

Phillips: “And her opponent, hailing from Cologne, Germany and weighing in at 204 lbs. ... 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, just one-week removed from his loss of the SCW Television Title, is looking to get back on the horse here tonight.”

Knots: “Ugh… God…”

Sharper: “What?”

Knots: “Don’t make me picture Konrad Raab on a horse again!”

The referee calls for the bell. Konrad and Crissy begin to circle each other, with the crowd growing in anticipation. They move to the middle of the ring and go to grapple, but Crissy ducks under, ending up behind Konrad. As he turns, she kicks him in the midsection and clamps on a headlock. She wrenches her arms, but Raab pushes back to the ropes. He pushes her at the ropes, sending her rebounding into a shoulder-block, taking her down.

Sharper: “Bit of a size mismatch, with Crissy giving up over 80 pounds to Konrad here.”

Knots: “Yeah, but “The Iceman” has made a point of talking about incorporating more high flying into his repertoire.”

Sharper: “That he has… we’ll have to see if he goes to that well tonight, or if he’ll use his size advantage to HIS advantage.”

Knots: “Two “advantages” in one sentence? Come on…”

Konrad lifts Crissy up from the mat, spinning her around and locking his arms around her waist. He lifts her up, dropping her back with a release German suplex!

Sharper: “And there you see… Raab is looking to put a QUICK end to this. He’s covering…”

ONE…

TWO…

KICKOUT!

Knots: “Too soon, man. Too soon.”

Konrad lifts Crissy back up, not letting the two count shake him, and throws her to the ropes. He goes for a clothesline, which Crissy ducks under and rebounds again. Upon her return, she hits a Sling Blade takedown, popping the crowd. Both get back to their feet, and Crissy follows up with a DDT, covering…

ONE…

TWO…

Konrad powers out! Crissy gets back to her feet and rushes the ropes, looking for a Rolling Thunder, but Konrad gets his knees up, with Crissy falling onto them! He moves to his feet, looking for the Sharpshooter!

Sharper: “A fast paced match so far, but it looks like The Iceman is about to slow it down and look for the submission.”

Crissy, however, is too close to the ropes, and scrambles frantically to grab the bottom one. The referee moves to Konrad, pointing this out, and he lets go. He watches as Crissy gets to her feet and moves in, hitting a straight shot to the gut. Crissy backs up a step, and Konrad jabs her again. This is followed by repeated boxing strikes, sending Crissy back to the corner as he continues. She gets to the corner and slumps down. Konrad grabs her by the head and pulls her to the middle of the ring, covering…

ONE…

TWO…

TH… KICKOUT!

Sharper: “Konrad Raab with those educated strikes, nearly discombobulated Crissy Gardner enough to pick up the three.”

Knots: “What is it with you and the big words? You getting paid by the syllable or something?”

Konrad, sensing the end could be near, watches as Crissy pulls herself up to her feet. He rushes off the ropes and jumps up with a handspring… but when he bounces back to complete the Ice Storm, Gardner sidesteps! She rushes off the ropes herself, looking for the Lonely Hearts Spike, but Raab sidesteps!

Sharper: “Gardner and Raab both looking for their big shots.”

Knots: “But they both missed. You can shoot 100 times, but if you miss, it isn’t worth a damn thing!”

As Gardner regains her footing, Raab clutches her from behind, lifting her for The Frozen Pin, but Gardner flips through, landing behind Raab. As he turns around, she jumps up, hitting him direct with the Lonely Hearts Spike!

Knots: “That shot didn’t miss!”

She covers…

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…!!!

Konrad pushes his shoulder up after the three, but the referee is calling for the bell.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… CRISSY GARDNER!”

Sharper: “What a contest! Both brought out what they could, but in the end, it was a Lonely Hearts Spike from Crissy Gardner that propelled her to the victory!”

Knots: “The woes for the Iceman continue tonight.”

Gardner rolls out of the ring, backing up the ramp as the referee chases her down to raise her arm in victory.

Backstage, Dillusion and Xander Valentine are seen talking.

Xander: “Dillusion, I don’t care what I need to do to convince you. You’re making this happen. Dylan Howell is willing to get slaughtered at my hands, so be it.”

Dillusion sighs.

Dillusion: “You’re putting me in a tough spot-“

Xander: “You know what I am capable of.”

Dillusion: “Fine…fine….no referee. Not sanctioned. I can’t. I don’t have that…but I can keep people back while you two have your brawl.”

Xander: “Good…”

Xander turns and heads off as Dillusion watches him leave.

COMMERCIALS

“The Memory Remains” by Metallica and the crowd cheers. A few moments pass before Blake Mason walks out from the back, dressed in a suit. He looks around as he takes a moment.

Sharper: “Blake Mason on his way to the ring. In just four days, he faces Cassidy Carter hoping to earn a World Championship opportunity.”

Knots: “Yeah, but last week, he got involved and actually saved her chances. Stopping Ikiro Yoshida from powerbombing her through a table.”

Blake Mason walks down the rampway to the ring. He then walks over to the steel steps. He steps up them and then walks along the apron before stepping into the ring. He looks around as he scans the crowd. The crowd continues to cheer him before he steps over to the corner and grabs a microphone waiting for him. He then turns back to the middle of the ring. He then looks around as his music fades out.

Blake: “Four days. Four days until I walk into Bound by Blood looking to earn a World Championship shot. Four days until I look to earn a World Championship shot at the site of one of my biggest failures.”

Blake pauses.

Blake: “My hometown of Boston. Rewind to a couple of years ago when I demanded a title shot and got it against Syren. And I was outclassed. Now, return to the present day, and it seems like there are a lot of pretenders but not many champions and I mean champions not in terms of holding the prized gold we’re all looking for. I mean champion in terms of the definition of the concept. We have people holding SCW gold who do not represent competition, they don’t aspire to be anything someone should hope to be. They just want the cheque at the end of the day. They want the accolades. They want to hold onto it by any means necessary.”

Blake looks around as the crowd cheers a bit.

Blake: “We have Syren taking shortcuts in hopes of getting back to the top. We have backstabbing and posturing for title shots. We have people who hold the titles paying others to injure them. And I’ve done all of that myself. It’s why I know it’s not worth it. I was the one pulling those strings and at the end of the day, it’s taken my years to get to this point here…where I can wipe the slate clean and in my hometown, in the sight of one of my biggest stumbles, win a shot to face whoever holds the SCW World Championship.”

Blake looks at the camera.

Blake: “On my terms. On right terms. And that’s why I came out last week. I could’ve watched Ikiro Yoshida take Cassidy Carter and drive her through that table, hoped for the injury, the easier match. I could’ve let ego get in the way and said, well, one less obstacle. I could’ve let Sienna Swann do what she wanted and send a message of humility to Cassidy Carter, but I didn’t, because I’m sick of seeing all of this. Being a cause of it, being in the middle of it, I’ve become sick of it all and it’s time for those of us who stand here looking to make things right to do it. From the Street Family taking out the Beauty Factory and the Network. To Selena Frost fighting for competition. For Owen Cruze to end this business with Giovanni Aries to me hopefully walking out as number one contender-“

Cassidy: “To you putting us all the sleep with the fake goody-two-shoes act.”

The crowd roars and boos as Cassidy Carter walks out from the back with Ace Marshall. Cassidy has a microphone in her hand as she looks down at the ring. She just shakes her head.

Cassidy: “Blake, I don’t need your saving or for you to keep pumping up your God complex. See, Blake, we never bought the crap about the Blake Mason Experience being groundshaking, nor do we by this nice-guy act.”

The crowd boos.

Cassidy: “And for the record, I’m not experiencing anything from you except that I’m going to kick your ass and get the shot I should already have.”

Blake: “That’s exactly what I’m talking about.”

Cassidy: “Well you have a problem with the truth as yet again, what was I…if AJ Helms didn’t exist. I’d have had the title shot already. Don’t be fronting on my territory!”

Blake shakes his head.

Cassidy: “And yes, I may have stolen some gold and I may not give a damn what any of you think, but one thing I know is that I want to be a champion and I carry myself as one. I enjoy it. I enjoyed it when Ace was on top. Now, I want to be. And just like when I won the End of the Year Battle Royal, I lived in style. Like you claimed. Like you wish you could. Don’t worry though, you can live vicariously through me because when I win in YOUR hometown, I plan to have a party and drink the night away. Because then I get to deal with the so-called Perfect Ten, and she can send her lovers after me....I’m going just to end her modelling career and walk into 2019 on top of the world!”

The crowd roars. Cassidy smirks.

Cassidy: “You only wish you could. And this Sunday, I’m going to give you a bigger failure to remember.”

Cassidy brings the microphone down as “Na na na” by My Chemical Romance plays. Blake looks at Cassidy, just saying “We’ll see” as Cassidy waves at him and turns and heads to the back.

Sharper: “In Boston, Blake’s hometown. Can he win the match? Can he get his title shot? Or will Cassidy Carter put herself in the position to bring home World Championship gold herself?”

Knots: “We’ll find out. It’s a very different situation. Two fresh faces. Two people who have wanted that title in the past. One will get it.”

Sharper: “And that’s not all…”

The End of the Year Special logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “This Sunday, we will see who will be eligible for a World Title opportunity at End of the Year Special. Who will the fans get to vote on to give them their first ever one on one World Championship match?”

Knots: “Fans get a chance to decide who and whoever is the World Champion? They’re going to have a rough couple of months. Some big challenges coming their way!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments.

Backstage, we see Dylan Howell walking through the backstage area with his fists taped. Kennedy Street walks with him.

Kennedy: “Are you sure about this?”

Dylan turns to Kennedy.

Dylan: “Yes…I need to prove to you all and to everyone that I’m the right person. And I’m going to do that.”

Kennedy: “Dylan, you know we’ll be nearby-“

Dylan: “I won’t need it. Worst case, you have Regan, right?”

Kennedy: “Dylan…it’s not that easy-“

Dylan smiles. He then turns and heads off as Kennedy watches him leave.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell is going to go for his fight, with Xander Valentine. It’s here and it’s next! On Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Dylan Howell vs. Xander Valentine

“Adrenaline” by Gavin Rossdale starts to play. The crowd roars as a few moments pass before Dylan Howell walks out from the back. He looks around as he then punches the palm of his hand, getting ready for a fight. He then heads down to the ring.

Sharper: “Well this is not a sanctioned match. This is a fight. And Xander Valentine made that clear.”

Knots: “Is it even a match? I don’t even think it’s that.”

Sharper: “This is about taking someone out. Xander wanted a fight. Dylan happy to give it. Kennedy, as we saw, concerned, but Dylan Howell, he wants to prove himself here.”

Dylan Howell walks down to the ring and pulls himself up onto the apron. He then steps into the ring. He looks around as he then runs into the ropes, stops and steps forward, moving his arms, and getting his blood moving.

Sharper: “He’s also as focused as we’ve seen in a while too.”

Knots: “He was playing in kitty litter a few weeks ago. Tonight, he’s focused. He’s clear. Maybe Sam is helping him.”

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 bursts 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. He stares down at the ring, regardless if occupied or vacant. A serious glare is painted across his weathered face. He starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to stare at the ring. He gets down to the ring when Dylan Howell runs toward the ropes and dives through them, nailing Xander with a pescado. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Xander coming down for the fight, but Dylan taking it to him!”

Knots: “Through the ropes. He’s still nuts!”

Xander rolls over as Dylan rolls over and gets up. He runs over and kicks Xander in the ribs and then again. The crowd cheers as Dylan then nails him with a hard right. He turns and backs up and moves to the steel steps before running back at Xander and Xander grabs him and turns and throws him into the barricade. The crowd ohs as Dylan falls over, holding his side. He starts to get up and moves toward the ring. Xander stalks him as the crowd looks on and Dylan rolls into the ring. Xander turns and grabs the top rope and pulls himself onto the apron. Dylan turns and hits a dropkick. Xander falls back and lands on his feet on the floor. Dylan then gets up and moves to the ropes. He grabs the top rope and hits a vaulting press, but Xander catches him. The crowd ohs and Xander turns and just runs him into the ringpost. The crowd ohs and Xander tosses him down. Dylan holds his lower back. We cut to see Dante McCaffery, Jack Parker and Savali watching from their area backstage.

Knots: “Of course they’re watching.”

Sharper: “Watching in case they may need to get involved. This is unsanctioned. SCW officials, with Mr. D not available, electing to allow this. I don’t know how that’s going to go after that.”

Knots: “Depends what’s left of Dylan.”

Back in the ring, Xander grabs Dylan by his head and spins him around and into the ring. Xander slides in after. Dylan starts to staggers to his feet. Xander immediately boots him in the face. Dylan hits the mat and rolls over. He holds his jaw and starts to get up as Xander then grabs him and pulls him up and elbows him in the back of the head. He then knees him in the chest and just turns and spins him around before throwing him up and into the corner hard. A shot of Kennedy Street, Trinity Street, Donovan Kayl and Chris Cannon watching comes up on the screen. Kennedy notably is standing, ready to go to the ring.

Sharper: “The Streets also watching.”

Knots: “They may just want to get out here. This is bad for Dylan. Real bad.”

Xander moves in and hits a back elbow. He rears back and back elbows him again before rearing back and hitting a third one. He then grabs Dylan and hits a big hip toss out of the corner. Dylan hits hard and rolls over. He starts to slowly pull himself up. Xander walks over and Dylan throws a hard right. The crowd cheers. Dylan throws another one, more cheers, but Xander buries a knee into the ribs of Dylan. Dylan falls over. Xander then grabs him and runs him over to the ropes and just throws him up and over. Dylan lands on his feet and down to the mats. Xander looks around and stretches out, rubbing his jaw.

Sharper: “Dylan tagged Xander twice, but that got nothing.”

Knots: “Xander is rubbing his jaw as if he’s impressed by the shots. At least he’s got that going for him!”

Xander turns around as we see Dylan starting to get up. Xander walks over and reaches through the ropes only for Dylan to nail him with a hard right. Xander is stunned by it and falls to a knee. Dylan slides in and gets up and Xander pulls himself up only for Dylan to actually tackle him down with a dive and then nailing Xander with a series of hard right hands to the forehead. Xander covers up briefly as Dylan gets his shots in and the crowd cheers. Xander then pushes Dylan off. He rolls through and to his feet. Xander starts to get up and Dylan runs over and kicks him in the ribs. Xander winces and Dylan nails him with another hard right before backing up and running at him and clotheslining Xander up and over the top rope with a clothesline. This time, unlike earlier, he falls back and into the barricade.

Sharper: “Dylan takes Xander down!”

Knots: “He got him! And Xander didn’t stay on his feet this time!”

Sharper: “Dylan Howell taking the fight to Xander!”

We cut to see Trinity smiling as Chris Cannon cheers for him. Kennedy looks a bit relieved. Back in the ring, we see Dylan running across the ring, bouncing off and diving through the ropes before nailing Xander with another pescado, knocking him back into the barricade and Xander falls over. Dylan rolls over and starts to get up. He looks around as the crowd cheers. Dylan turns and walks around the ring and to the arena in front of the announce tables. He then lifts up the ring skirt before looking underneath and then pulling a table out from the ring. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Dylan now moving some furniture around. Bringing out a table.”

Knots: “Well that’s one way to take down Xander! And it’s a fight!”

Dylan pulls the table up and unfolds the legs. He then stabilizes it before flipping it onto its legs. Dylan then turns back and Xander runs at him and clotheslines him down. The crowd ohs and boos. Xander sees the table and smirks a bit. He then grabs Dylan and drags him up. He hoists him up and onto his shoulder. He turns around and moves toward the table, but Dylan slides down. He backs up and snaps at Knots to move. Knots gets up and Dylan grabs his chair and turns and throws it at Xander. The crowd roars as Xander falls over and to the apron.

Knots: “He just used my chair!”

Dylan follows up and nails him with a shot and then another and another before Xander leans in and knees him in the ribs. Dylan staggers back and Xander kicks him in the ribs. He then hoists him up and without missing a beat, he turns and powerbombs Dylan through the table. The crowd ohs and boos. Dylan grimaces as he is in the table. Xander then turns and leans on the apron.

Sharper: “And just like that, Dylan Howell planted, driven through the table he set up.”

Xander walks over and grabs Dylan and drags him up to his feet. He then looks at him before pressing him up over his head and throwing him through the ropes and into the ring. Dylan rolls over in pain. Xander then slides into the ring.

Sharper: “The strength of Xander Valentine, just lifting Dylan up and tossing him into the ring.”

Knots: “And nothing you can do about that. Dylan fought, but Xander Valentine just makes the Network that much scarier. This is a man that’s dominated SCW for months at a time in the past!”

Dylan starts to get up and looks at Xander. He then steps back before looking at Xander, staggering to his feet. He then throws a hard right. Xander then follows up with a knee to the ribs. He then pulls back on Dylan’s hair and then locks in the Fade to Black. The crowd boos as Xander leans back. Dylan moves around and tries to drag himself to the ropes. He manages to move Xander a bit and jumps up and pushes off the middle rope. He flips through and the crowd roars as Dylan grabs Xander and hoists him up and hits a release German suplex. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Dylan hit the German! He took Xander over!”

Knots: “But look! The Network! They had to see the Fade to Black and that was the signal! They’re coming out!”

Dante takes the rear as Parker and Savali head down first. Parker slides in and Dylan turns only for Howell to kick him in the ribs before Savali enters and runs at him and nails him with an avalanche. Dante pulls himself slowly onto the apron and Savali runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running splash onto Dylan. Xander then slowly gets up.

Sharper: “And the mugging begins!”

Xander pulls himself to his feet and Dante turns to Xander and can be seen saying “five minutes was up.” Xander just nods as he steps over to Dylan and stomps him in the face. He walks around as the crowd boos. Savali then gets up and hits another splash. The crowd ohs and Dylan grimaces as we then see Kennedy Street running down from the back with Chris Cannon and Donovan Kayl running down after. Trinity Street last, heading down. They all slide into the ring and Xander steps over and Chris runs at him and nails him with a hard right and then another before he can react. He backs up as Kayl runs at him and hits a high knee, sending Xander out of the ring, as Kennedy kicks Dante in the ribs. Trinity enters and goes for Savali. She throws a hard right but Trinity kicks her in the ribs and then nails her with a couple of jabs before a right hook, knocking her down and out of the ring.

Sharper: “And just like earlier, the Streets stand tall.”

Knots: “But the damage done to Dylan Howell!”

Sharper: “Or is it? He’s getting up!”

Kennedy walks over to Dylan as Dylan grimaces. Kayl walks over and helps him too. Trinity just nods in the back corner as Kennedy raises his arm. Xander steps forward, to continue the fight again, as Dante, Parker and Savali all hold him back.

Sharper: “Add the Trueloves! Add Ikiro! This fight will be a war this Sunday!”

Knots: “But right now, Dylan Howell is standing tall and he looks like the victor to me!”
