Breakdown - November 2, 2023

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

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

MAIN SHOW:

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as we see a shot of Selena Frost standing on the stage, about to the run to the ring. We then see shots of Bree Lancaster hitting someone with the Rectifier and Datura hanging upside down on the ropes, posing.

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

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

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

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

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

Gavin Taylor hitting the Gavin Taylor lariat on an opponent is next, before we see Pro Kinneck attacking Sophie James at ringside. Konrad Raab punching Ace Marshall in a steel cage is shown next, before we see Alexis Quinne hitting a standing shooting star press. Lexy Chapel is then shown showing off Syren. Amy Chastaine posing follows.

There's a psycho in my, there's a psycho in my head

Shots of Selena Frost, Kandis, Adam Allocco, and Syren are shown before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots out from the base of the stage. The display continues for a few moments before spotlights circle the arena and the cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “We are in New Orleans for Breakdown, the final stop before Under Attack!”

The cameras pan across the crowd for a moment longer before cutting to ringside and the announce position where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots sit.

Sharper: “Welcome to ringside. Adam Sharper alongside, as usual, Jonathan Knots and tonight, a big tag team main event. Konrad Raab and Asher Hayes face Twisted & Sadistic!”

Knots: “Yeah, and we’ll see if it turns into a war like it did with the European Fiery Nation a few weeks back. But not just that, La Pequena Luz looks to become the TV Champion, facing The One Kirsten Scott later.”

Sharper: “And we’ll see so many more in action tonight. Big night before Under Attack!”

“Hero” by Skillet plays as the crowd starts to boo. Fans rise to their feet as the camera cuts to the entrance way. A few moments pass before Simon Lyman walks out from the back wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and a tan sport coat. He points to the crowd as he steps out and looks around the arena.

Sharper: “And we kick things off with the man who did not win the SCW World Championship last week. Kandis retained before Konrad Raab and Asher Hayes attacked both of them. Now at Under Attack in ten days, all four will meet for the World Title in a TLC match.”

The Under Attack logo comes up on the screen as a still for Simon Lyman vs. Asher Hayes vs. Konrad Raab vs. Kandis for the SCW World Championship comes up on the screen.

Knots: “All of this is coming to a head. They’ve been at each other’s throats since Rise to Greatness. Why not solve it by throwing people off ladders to the floor through tables and chairs!”

Back live, we see Simon Lyman entering the ring and walking around it. He looks at the crowd and smirks as he walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone. He’s handed one and turns before walking over to the middle of the ring. He smirks as the music fades out. Simon Lyman looks around the arena as the crowd boos.

Lyman: “Good to see that New Orleans continues to be a great judge of character.”

Lyman turns around to speak to another section of the crowd.

Lyman: “Keep booing. I mean your hometown hero is a drunk and maybe if you need some questionable training, there’s always Blackout Academy, named out of Amy’s standard state of being!”

The crowd ohs and boos loudly.

Sharper: “My God…What the hell is wrong with him?”

Knots: “I don’t think he’s going to be rehired.”

Sharper: “Lyman being relieved of his duties as a trainer a few weeks ago. Jaina happened to share this when I talked to her backstage, wondering why Lyman was so cold to Amy.”

Lyman: “By the way, Amy, good luck at Under Attack. Kelsai…just remember, you’ve got an easy ace in the hole!”

Lyman mocks Amy with the motion of taking a shot as the crowd boos some more. Lyman then looks around.

Lyman: “That’s fine…this city is a cesspool and always has been. While our World Championship continues to be held by a whore who wants to show her ass floss, here, the alcohol from Bourbon Street can be smelled at the Canadian border. But while I am not the World Champion, I am not giving up. I’m not like some people. I will keep fighting for what I know is right and damn it, I don’t have to wait long to make sure I get the job done.”

Lyman smirks and turns to the entrance way.

Lyman: “Thank you Asher and Konrad. You two idiots could’ve just let me wallow and I’d have to come up with a plan to get back to another shot at Kandis.”

Lyman chuckles to himself.

Lyman: “Kandis…you lucky bitch…I had you. THIS close. THIS close on multiple attempts. If I was just a bit faster on that superkick…we’d be having a real celebration and New Orleans would have a party it could be proud of. But no…you won…and I remember thinking for a moment, of what I’d have to do to get another shot. And I get that shot at Under Attack, thanks to Asher and Konrad. And it’s funny, because while you have beaten me Kandis, and it pains me every day I’m breathing!”

The crowd cheers.

Lyman: “Asher…you couldn’t get me down for the three. You couldn’t beat me clean and you still can. You couldn’t do the same as Kandis and that’s fine. Because thanks to you and you needing to get your shots in to make you feel good, we’re tied again and this time, we’re taking the World Championship and raising it above the ring. So someone has to climb, rung by rung, to pull it down and in the process ,we’ll be hurting each other with chairs, with tables, with anything we can. And for once, all of you don’t have to worry about my methods, because it’s all legal. So I low blowed Gavin Taylor. My stupid friend just proved he couldn’t be at this level. And I’ve proved time and time again this year, since returning, I haven’t lost a damn step!”

Lyman looks at the camera.

Lyman: “And to prove it, I’m going to take several steps, climbing that ladder and getting to the top-“

The opening riff to "Smooth Sailing" by Queens of the Stone Age kicks in. At the 11 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the PA system, and Asher appears on the stage, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses. Asher then looks behind him as Konrad Raab walks out from the back. He takes a few steps as we see Ginny Raab join him. The crowd boos some more as Asher Hayes looks at the ring, microphone in hand, and walks down to the ring. Konrad and Ginny follow from behind. Lyman watches them.

Knots: “So this is a partnership?!”

Sharper: “Konrad Raab coming to the ring with Asher Hayes. Hayes and Raab both will be in that TLC match as we said. But as CHBK said, we’re going to find out how good as a partnership that is.”

Knots: “Will also later tonight! They face Twisted & Sadistic!”

Sharper: “That we will.”

Hayes says something to the Raabs who remain on the floor. Hayes climbs up the steel steps and enters the ring. He steps forward. Lyman looks at him. Hayes smirks.

Lyman: “Well, see you’re not travelling alone.”

Hayes: “Oh, don’t worry. This is more for her, than you. See, he…he hates Kandis. We all hate Kandis. And the fact is…he’s here in case she has showed up and wants to come after us. We know she’s just getting a little too fired up…”

Lyman: “Did get a bit hot for her a couple of weeks ago.”

Konrad smirks at this.

Hayes: “That it did. But I also can note that Konrad…he wants to maim Kandis. World Title? Not his focus. But it is mine. And so let’s face it, Konrad will take out Kandis and Under Attack will actually be you versus me, Simon.”

Lyman nods.

Hayes: “Well, to a degree. Because Simon, I’m going to just make this clear. SCW doesn’t need a hero as World Champion. I hate to say it, but I agree with Kandis there. They do need a new World Champion and they need someone who has more than earned it. And that’s me.”

The crowd boos.

Hayes: “And while you can talk about your big plans, coming back from a stroke and being a mediocre colour commentator to get close to the top, I’m not going to see another self-absorbed jackass get there when this self-absorbed jackass wants the World Title and has been THIS close, closer than you’ve EVER gotten, to holding it. I should be a multiple time World Champion. I shouldn’t been World Champion at Apocalypse, but Under Attack, just like for you, it’s a redo for me. And it will be where Kandis is done as champion, but when Konrad, and if we want to join in, we can push her off the top of the mountain…Simon, it’s still two against one.”

Hayes looks at Lyman.

Hayes: “And I’ve got the perfect partner this time. Someone who has ZERO desire to hold the World Championship. No strings attached. No later title shots. Just the opportunity to destroy Kandis and that’s handed to him on a silver platter. So Simon…don’t thank me for anything. Because last week was the closest you’re ever getting to become World Champion again. If anything, I’m letting you go out in a blaze of glory.”

The crowd boos.

Lyman: “Well Asher, this time, you’ll need to get the job done. Because a DQ ain’t going to help you. And if you’re so threatened by me, not even a year after returning, that’s on you, not me. And there may be a reason you can’t get the job done. And Konrad!”

Lyman turns to him. Konrad looks up.

Lyman: “Get the job done at Under Attack!”

Lyman turns as the crowd boos as “Hero” by Skillet plays again throughout the arena. Lyman then steps through the ropes and to the floor. He walks over to Konrad and smiles before walking past him and heading to the back. Ginny watches Lyman too as Asher Hayes turns and watches Lyman.

Knots: “Lyman on board with Konrad. Asher and Simon could be the difference.”

Sharper: “They sure both think so. They’re acting like Kandis being taken out if a foregone conclusion. She outlasted both Hayes and Lyman. She’s not going to stay down. And we know she’ll be here later. You wonder what her reaction to his will be!”

Lyman heads to the back as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

The Playgirls vs. Team Desire

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Psycho” by Ava Max plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold religious ring robe that is popelike and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd. Giovanna Steward follows behind her wearing her leather spiked “Brat Club” jacket and a black bandana covering the lower half of her face. TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length while Gigi follows behind.

Phillips: “Your opening contest is a tag match scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit. First, accompanied by TJ Johnson, on their way to the ring, they are the team of Gigi Steward and Katie Steward, Team Desire!”

Katie walks around the ring and Gigi rolls under the bottom rope. Katie walks up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie to her corner.

Sharper: “Gigi Steward tried to make a headway to challenge maybe for the US Title. Came up short against Deanna Frost last week. Now back to the tag division.”

Knots: “Gigi had her moment. Katie wants hers. They’re helping each other out.”

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot, followed by a few girls giggling. But before “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched can even begin, Colleen steps out onto the stage from the backstage area, wearing her normal all-black ring gear. Aisling steps out with her and the two stand with each other before Colleen glances back as Polly walks out with them. The crowd cheers the trios as they head to the ring.

Phillips: “Their opponents, accompanied by Polly, they are the team of Aisling and Colleen, The Playgirls!”

Colleen and Aisling reach the ring with Polly following. Polly watches her friends as they hop onto the apron. Colleen enters the ring as Aisling does too. Colleen just looks around the arena as Aisling runs to the ropes and steps up, playing to the crowd.

Sharper: “Polly back in the corner of the Playgirls as a team. Colleen and Aisling hoping to return to where they thought they were in the division before everything happened. That’s going back pre-Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “Longer. Taking Hold of the Flame.”

Sharper: “Indeed. So here we go. Two teams with big aspirations.”

Aisling starts off for her team as Gigi starts off for the Stewards. The two circle the ring and lock-up in the middle of the ring. Gigi and Aisling push back on one another and Gigi turns into a side headlock. Aisling pulls Gigi into the ropes and fires her off. Gigi bounces off and shoulders Aisling down. Gigi turns and runs into the ropes. Aisling drops down in front of her. Gigi hops over and bounces off the other side. Aisling gets up and leapfrogs over Gigi. Gigi ducks under and bounces off the other side. Aisling then hits a jumping back elbow. She goes for the pin.

Gigi kicks out. Both women get up and Aisling wrenches the arm. She jerks on it. Gigi winces. Aisling pulls Gigi’s arm up. Aisling then wrenches the arm again and goes for a back kick. Gigi ducks. Aisling spins through and Gigi scoops her up and slams her down. Aisling gets up and Gigi hits a dropkick. Aisling hits the mat and turns and tags in Colleen. Gigi gets up and motions for her to come in. Colleen does and looks at Gigi.

Sharper: “Gigi with the dropkick. Aisling down. And now in comes Colleen!”

Knots: “Gigi wants Colleen. Colleen is going to oblige I think!”

Colleen enters and runs at Gigi. Gigi ducks as Colleen attempts a clothesline. Colleen stops and turns and Gigi nails her with a forearm shot and then another. She runs into the ropes, bouncing off and runs at Colleen and goes for a crossbody. Colleen catches her and then just lifts her up and slams her down. Gigi gets up and Colleen kicks her in the ribs. She spins her around and sends her into the corner. Colleen clubs her in the back of the head once and then again before whipping Gigi across the ring. Colleen runs after and Gigi gets a boot up. Colleen staggers back. Gigi runs out and hits a spinning heel kick. She turns, crawling over to Katie and tags Katie in. Katie enters and runs over and hits a running elbow drop. She goes for the pin.

Colleen pushes her off. Colleen rolls over as Katie gets up and watches her before hitting a dropkick. Collen staggers back to the corner.

Sharper: “Katie and Gigi looking as well-oiled as we’ve seen them.”

Knots: “They’ve been ready for the challenge of Colleen and Aisling.”

Sharper: “And it may take time for the Playgirls to get into gear. They’ve been so focused on Polly for so long.”

Colleen steps out and Katie kicks her in the ribs and hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex. Katie turns and hits a breakdance leg drop. She moves for the pin.

Colleen kicks out. Katie turns and grabs Colleen and pulls her up and forearms her in the jaw. She then goes for a snapmare. Colleen however blocks it and then grabs Katie and lifts her up and just throws her back. Katie hits the mat and rolls over. She gets up and Colleen runs at her and clotheslines her down. The crowd ohs. Colleen runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a splash. She hooks the leg.

Katie kicks out. Colleen gets up and grabs Katie and tags in Aisling. Colleen then hooks Katie up as she shakes her head and Aisling climbs to the top rope and dives forward, grabbing Katie’s head and they hit a back suplex/flying clothesline doubleteam.

Sharper: “And the Playgirls with a hell of a double team. Katei driven headfirst into the mat!”

Knots: “I think Katie found out that Colleen and Aisling have figured it out!”

Sharper: “If she’s conscious!”

Aisling goes for the pin.

Gigi breaks it up. Aisling rolls off as Colleen exits the ring. Polly looks on as Aisling turns and grabs Katie, moving her into the corner. Aisling nails her with a hard forearm and then another and another before spinning her around and running her face first into the Playgirls corner. Katie turns and Aisling then tags in Colleen as Colleen enters and Colleen grabs Aisling and goes to whip her across the ring, but she holds on and pulls her back in and sends her into Katie. Aisling moves out of the way and Colleen runs at Katie and hits a running backsplash. The crowd ohs. Colleen steps out and Katie falls to the mat. Colleen goes for the pin.

Katie gets her shoulder up.

Sharper: “Colleen only gets two. Playgirls roughing up Katie by using their bodies.”

Knots: “Pretending they’re back on their game show days.”

Katie rolls over and Colleen grabs her by the hair. She then pulls her up and elbows her in the back of the head once and then again. Colleen turns and runs into the ropes and bounces off and Katie suddenly nails her with the Most Beautiful Superkick Ever. Colleen stumbles back and falls to the mat. She starts to get up, shaking her jaw and turns to Katie who kicks her in the ribs and hits a snap DDT.

Sharper: “Katie with the DDT. Now-“

Knots: “Get Gigi in there!”

Katie turns and tags in Gigi. Gigi climbs up to the top rope and turns away. Katie then helps with an assisted moonsault onto Colleen. Gigi stays on her. Aisling enters.

Katie knocks Aisling down. Colleen kicks out. Gigi rolls over. Katie backs out of the ring as Aisling rolls out of the ring. Gigi turns and grabs Colleen who starts to crawl away. We then cut to the rampway to see Polly walking to the back. Colleen looks up as Gigi then then grabs her and hits the backstabber. The crowd hos. Gigi goes for the pin.

Colleen gets her shoulder up. Gigi rolls off. Gigi turns and grabs Colleen and pulls her up. She then goes to pull her back to tag in Katie, but Colleen falls back and pulls Gigi by the tights. Gigi falls forward and into the ropes.

Sharper: “Colleen counters. Gigi off-balance!”

Colleen gets up and runs to the corner and tags in Aisling. Colleen then jumps up and drops a hip check to the back of Gigi. Aisling then jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a twisting leg drop to the back of Gigi’s head. Colleen turns and runs across the ring and knocks Katie off as Aisling enters and hits a jackknife pin, going deep on the hold.

The bell sounds. Aisling rolls off as Colleen turns and exits the ring. Aisling looks up and turns to the official and then to Colleen before seeing her leave. Katie rolls into the ring as Gigi falls back to the mat.

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

Sharper: “Aisling got the win with that high leverage pin”

Knots: “Colleen’s already leaving. Aisling finding out. Polly just left.”

Sharper: “No celebration. No normalcy get for these two.”

Knots: “And the Stewards back to the drawing board. Or should I say pitch meeting?”

Gigi slowly starts to get up as Katie enters the ring and looks over at her. Colleen and Aisling head to the back.

We open up backstage to see Harker, Mordred, Lues and Pain walking backstage, in that order. They head, single file, down the hallway as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “The House of James here in force.”

Knots: “One way to look at it. Where’s James?’

Sharper: “Maybe going to see him? Maybe on a mission.”

They continue down the hallway before we see Harker open a door violently and head inside. Mordred follows and Lues does too before we see Kim run up behind up behind Pain with a butterfly net and pulls it over Pain’s head. Pain struggles and yells before Kim grabs Pain. The crowd roars as Kim just restrains Pain just enough to run him back in the opposite direction, where they had just come.

Sharper: “Kim! With a net?”

Knots: “She needs to stop watching the Looney Tunes!”

Kim drags her down the hallway and then pushes into a door before we hear a yell as the camera runs over to see Pain having gone down a flight of stairs and curled up on the landing in pain.

Kim: “Damn it! I thought you could fly. You love doing it!”

Kim backs out of the stairwell as Lues, Harker and Mordred come into view. The cameraman is caught in the middle before we see officials running into the scene. They break up Kim and the rest of the House of James. Dillusion, Chris Oliver, Hiro Tanaka and Dean Black try to regain order as Matt Hodges looks into the stairwell.

Hodges: “We need help!”

He then glances back and shakes his head as Kim smiles and heads off.

COMMERCIALS

Colleen walks backstage, looking around before we see Aisling jogging after her.

Aisling: “Col-“

Colleen holds a hand up. She looks around and then heads down one hallway before stopping. Aisling catches up with her. Colleen just lets out a sigh of relief. The camera pans across to show Polly on a storage crate, phone next to her.

Colleen: “Polly…”

Polly: “Sorry, just…I could feel her watching and…”

Colleen: “You’re safe.”

Polly: “She was here last week.”

Aisling; “And she didn’t get to ringside. She was forced away. And if she does come to you, Colleen and I will mess her up.”

Colleen: “A promise.”

Polly looks at both.

Polly: “Okay…sorry…”

Colleen: “Just focus on Under Attack, the Chamber…get back to where you should be.”

Polly nods.

Polly: “I’ll try.”

Polly nods again and grabs her phone. The three head off.

Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words up on the Tron:

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd who are on their feet for their hometown legend. Notably, she is not dressed in street clothes, but her ring gear – long black tights, the brace visible underneath on her left knee, and a shiny gold halter style stop.

"Never gonna stop
Won't quit till I'm not breathing
Chase me all you want
It won't be enough"

Amy starts down the ramp, greeting and touching hands with a few fans along the way.

Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, LA... Amy Chastaine!"

"Never gonna stop
Even if these wounds keep bleeding
I'm not giving up
It won't be enough"

The music continues as she gets into the ring. Amy hops up on the apron, and enters the ring. She looks around at the cheering crowd, a big smile on her face. She gives a nod to the reaction she's receiving, then goes to the corner, where Phillips hands her a microphone. She raises it to speak, but the crowd is still roaring.

Sharper: “New Orleans does love their hometown hero.”

Knots: “Don't let Simon Lyman hear you say that; he'll be offended.”

Sharper: “You know what? Let him be offended. Amy Chastaine not on tonight's card but was given time to come out here and address the fans. Note her gear colors, a nod to the city's Saints football team.”

Knots: “Not sure I'd be proud of that at this juncture.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Amy raises the mic again, her other hand making a calming motion to the crowd. The roar dulls, then finally silences.

Amy: “I love it when SCW is in New Orleans. It's like my home within my home.”

The crowd cheers again, but quiets down quickly.

Amy: “So even though I wasn't given a match tonight, I knew I had to come out here and speak to you all. Give you something special, in some small payback for the love and support this city has given me for the last eighteen years, and especially so this year.”

Amy pauses, takes a few steps around the ring, considering her words.

Sharper: “It's now known that Amy had something of a relapse into her addiction and spent some time in rehab following Rise to Greatness”

Knots: “After what we heard Simon Lyman say earlier, even I'm not gonna make a jab at that. I commend her for taking care of herself.”

Amy stops in the middle of the ring again, and nods to herself before speaking.

Amy: “As you all know, as I've told you in promos... shortly after Rise to Greatness, I spent some necessary time at a recovery facility, actually not too far away from this arena. I'm not going to get into details, because a lot of what sent me back to bottom of multiple bottles involves other people, and I won't put their business out there. But there were many... incidents, that contributed to my decline. It started not long after my return here at Retribution.

A few cheers are heard.

Amy: “I never thought I'd get back into the ring as an active competitor. I was open to a one off match if it was the right opponent, but full time? Nah, I was convinced that was over. I mean, I'm forty-seven years old. What woman in their right mind would still be doing this at that age? Well... I've never been the one to follow conventions, and I've made a career out of proving people wrong and doing everything I was told I couldn't do. So, last year sometime when Simon and I-”

Boos interrupt Amy's words. She looks down and nods. Raising her head, she motions for the crowd to settle, and they do.

Amy: “I know, I know. But let me finish. When Simon and I had the conversation about making a comeback, and I agreed that if he did it, so would I... at the time I didn't think it was going to happen. But then... he did it. So, I had to keep my word. I know, I've told you this before. What I haven't told you though... is that almost immediately after we both made our comebacks and announced we were going to be a tag team and aim for the titles... something personal came between us.”

More boos.

Amy: “This is one of those things I'm NOT going to explain. Simon said in a promo that I could tell you all what happened myself, he didn't care. If I was as heartless as he seems to think I am... I would do exactly that, and you would all despise him even more. But I'm not going to do that, out of respect for the others involved. Suffice it to say, a major betrayal occurred. One that shattered every ounce of trust I ever had for Simon. I tried to play along as we were booked in tag matches, given chances to earn an opportunity to challenge for the Tag Titles. I tried to hold everything together, on top of other things I was dealing with personally. Simon recently told every one that no one knows how it feels to be him.... well, not many knows how it feels to be me, either. I didn't want to feel being me. I had to pretend here at work that everything was okay. I had to pretend at BlackOut Academy, because he was one of my trainers, that everything was okay. Do you know what it does to a person mentally when they have to put on a front every day, in almost every aspect of life, when everything is actually falling apart?

For me, it made me fall into old habits. And sent me back to rehab. I'm happy to tell you now though that I've been clean since Rise to Greatness weekend, and I definitely plan to remain that way.”

The crowd applauds respectfully, a few cheers an whoops thrown in. Amy gives a small smile.

Amy: “Thank you. All of that said... when I came back to the ring, I had an objective that very obviously isn't going to happen now. I don't have a tag partner anymore. Now, I could have just accepted that as my fate and not come back after Rise, after rehab. Just fade away and let SCW move on. But I think you all know by now that's not how I'm built. Plans get derailed and changed in this business all the time, right? I didn't come back just for a short run that in the long run means nothing. I can't let my career, my legacy, end like that. I am here to compete. I am here to give back to the industry that gave me everything good I have. To give back to you.”

More cheers. Amy smiles bigger.

Amy: “I might be past my prime, but I know in my heart that I still have what it takes to compete here. So rest assured, despite my fallout with that lying hypocrite known as Simon Lyman – who, by the way shouldn't be calling anyone a drunk, after he had to pay for repairs for damaging a car door due to driving under the influence-”

The crowd gasps, then boos.

Sharper: “Well, that's certainly news to us.”

Knots: “How much to you want to be it was Amy's car?”

Amy: “Yes, exactly. As I said... hypocrite. Anyway, despite that falling out, I am not going anywhere. Even through all of the challenges, or maybe in spite of them... I still have that competitive spirit pushing me to do something more, and I still have so much to give to this sport.”

More cheers and applause. Amy looks around smiling, turning to see the whole crowd. She stops facing the entrance ramp.

Amy: “As a way to showcase some of what I'm doing to give back, I've arranged a surprise for the best fans in the business. I've chosen two students from BlackOut Academy to come out here and have an exhibition match with me. One of them, you all know very well, although not so much for her ring skills. Firstly, let me call out a woman who started training without my knowledge, then when I found out happily accepted a place in the Academy to further improve her skills. She may not be an active wrestler now, but never say never about the future. Please welcome to the ring... my daughter, Jaina Lancaster!”

The deep bass thump of “Voodoo” by Godsmack fills the arena, and Jaina walks out onto the stage. She's dressed in ring gear, all black, with black sequined stripes down the pants leg. She smiles as she makes her way down the ramp.

Sharper: “A different look and different music than the last time we saw Jaina in the ring, over a year ago.”

Knots: “Seems more... grown up, if you get what I mean.”

Sharper: “Mature. I see it.”

Jaina gets to the ring, goes up the steps, and Amy holds the ropes open for her to enter. The crowd cheers as Jaina does a slow turn with her arms outstretched. The music fades quickly and Amy turns back towards the entrance.

Amy: “The second student I've chosen is one of BlackOut's current standout students. He's been training with us for a little over a year, and I really feel like once he polishes up a few things, he can and will be a star, no matter where he decides to go. Please welcome to the ring... Carson Bradley!”

The intro to Linkin Park's “Numb” fills the arena as a young well built brunette man steps out onto the stage. He's wearing long blue tights, with black stripes down the sides, and matching black boots. He stops in the middle of the ramp and looks around, taking in the sight.

Sharper: “This is a great moment for that young man, his very first appearance in a large arena, and on TV.”

Knots: “I've seen some of his film, he is quick!”

Bradley slides into the ring and kips up, drawing applause. Amy walks up to him and shakes his hand. He appears to be an inch or two taller than Amy. Jaina steps up and says something, as well. The three speak for a moment, then back away a few steps from each other. Amy still has the mic, and she raises it.

Amy: “So, the three of us are now going to have a triple threat match! We've just made a wager... the winner gets their dinner paid for by who takes the loss. Timekeeper?”

Amy leans towards the rope and tosses the mic back to Phillips. Amy gestures to the timekeeper, and the bell rings.

Sharper: “And we're having an impromptu match here, ladies and gentlemen!”

Knots: “Mother, daughter, and student. This should be interesting.”

The three circle a bit, then Bradley steps up to Amy. They lock up as Jaina watches. Amy gets control at first and gets Bradley into a headlock, but he quickly escapes and counters into gripping Amy with a hammerlock. Amy fights his grip a bit, but to no avail. Jaina chooses this spot to get involved, as she leaps and lands on Bradley's back, trying to apply a rear naked choke. Bradley releases his hold on Amy and reaches up to grab Jaina's head. He fights and pulls and flips Jaina off his back forward over his head. Jaina lands on her back in front of him, close to where Amy is standing. Amy steps over Jaina and grabs Bradley's arm, spinning him around and then into the ropes. Jaina rolls out of the way as Bradley rebounds. He ducks Amy's clothesline, bounces off the other side, and gets dropped by Jaina with a leg lariat!

Sharper: “Did you see the height Jaina jumped to hit that? She's not tall but she got up there and caught Carson Bradley across the chest!”

Knots: “That girl is like a spider monkey!”

Jaina makes a cover.

1!

Bradley kicks out. Jaina gets up and turns and is suddenly face to face with her mother. The crowd roars as they face off, both smiling. The crowd chants “This is awesome! This is awesome!”

Sharper: “They haven't done anything yet and these New Orleans fans love it already.”

Knots: “Mother versus daughter!”

Sharper: “And look who's joined us.”

We cut to the stage and see Kelsai Adamson standing at the top of the ramp, watching closely.

Sharper: “Last week Kelsai challenged Amy, her mentor and former manager, to a match at Under Attack. Amy accepted, so of course Kelsai will be scouting, despite how well they know each other.”

Amy and Jaina lock up. Amy performs a standing switch and grabs Jaina from behind. She attempts a suplex, but Jaina blocks it, wrapping her foot around Amy's. Bradley is now up and runs over, nailing Amy in the back with a double axehandle. Amy releases Jaina and stumbles away. Bradley looks back and forth between Amy and Jaina, trying to decide who to focus on. Jaina turns, and sensing his indecision, jumps and drops him with a spinning heel kick! She starts to make a cover, but Amy pulls her off. Jaina stares at her mother in surprise, then shrugs before throwing a backhand! The crowd oohs. Amy takes it, then stares at Jaina a moment... then smiles. She throws a backhand of her own. Jaina takes it, and goes for another one. Amy though blocks this one, grabbing Jaina's arm. She then pulls Jaina in, spins her around and lifts her up and over with a snap suplex. The crowd oohs and roars. Amy turns and Jaina gets up. Amy grabs her and sends her into the ropes. Jaina rebounds, and Amy takes her down with an arm drag. They both get up and Jaina runs the ropes, bouncing of f for momentum, clearly aiming for a running clothesline... only to be drilled by a spear from Bradley! The crowd oohs as Jaina hits the mat hard. Bradley keeps a grip on her, flips her to her back and makes a cover.

1!

2!

Amy breaks it up. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Carson Bradley breaking up the mother-daughter match we never knew we needed. And Jaina's holding her ribs.”

Knots: “That spear was brutal, I wonder who taught him that one.”

Jaina rolls to near the ropes, holding her ribs and grimacing in pain. We see Kelsai with a slight look of concern on her face, but she hasn't moved from her spot on the stage. Amy looks over at Jaina as if she wants to check on her, but Bradley gets to his feet and Amy turns her focus to him. They lock up and Bradley gets the advantage. He spins Amy around and lifts her up in a fireman's carry, walking around the ring. The crowd oohs and some boo at his treatment of his main coach. Bradley then drops Amy with a death valley driver. The crowd oohs as he makes a cover.

Sharper: “Carson Bradley could pin his teacher!”

1!

2!

Amy kicks out. Bradley huffs in frustration. He turns to get up, but Amy sits up quickly and grabs him, taking him back down and locking in the Tourniquet! The crowd roars

Knots: “And just like that the Hall of Famer is gonna teach that young man something!”

Sharper: “And Jaina is still down, Bradley has nowhere to go.”

Bradley tries to fight out of the hold, but Amy just cinches it in tighter. We cut to Kelsai on the stage, who now takes a step or two forward, watching intently. Back in the ring, Amy pulls back so hard on Bradley's arm that she's almost laying on her own back, but making sure to keep her shoulders up. Bradley yells in pain, as he tries to somehow pull or turn his way out of it... but to no avail. With a frustrated yell he taps. The bell rings and Amy immediately lets go.

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine tapping out her student, a man less than half her age and bigger than she is.”

Knots: “Still a student though. Both Carson Bradley and Jaina Lancaster put out great effort, but the veteran the victor in the end.”

Amy an Bradley both sit up, facing each other. Bradley holds his shoulder as Amy gives him an almost sheepish grin and shrug. Bradley then nods and holds out his hand to his teacher. Amy smiles and shakes it. They both get up and shake again. We see Jaina sitting in the corner and Amy goes over to check on her. Jaina pulls herself up using the ropes, nodding at Amy's questioning. Mother and daughter then share a hug. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “You love to see that.”

Knots: “Amy promised a showcase and these three delivered. Carson Bradley showed he's one to watch, Jaina Lancaster reminded us that she's not just a pretty face with a microphone, and Amy Chastaine? She showed she's still got almost a full tank.”

We see Amy, Jaina, and Bradley talking in the ring, then the shit goes wide and we see Kelsai still on the ramp watching. She nods at what she's witnessed as Breakdown cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see CHBK and Matt Hodges talking outside of CHBK’s office.

Hodges: “What are we doing here?”

CHBK: “What are we doing? Well, you’re supposed to be helping maintain order. That’s what the job was. You wanted it.”

Hodges sighs.

Hodges: “Of course I’m going to get that answer from an asshole I hate.”

CHBK: “You asked for a job to help you. I figured-“

Hodges: “You figured wrong. And I figured wrong. Just…try out is over. I’m not cut out for this.”

Hodges turns and pulls loose the tie around his collar before storming off. CHBK watches him go before we cut away.

The Enigma in action

Sharper: “Ladies and gentlemen, last week, we saw the in ring debut of a man who, quite honestly Jonathan, we know nothing about.”

Knots: “You’re right, Sharper, tonight, I’m honestly scared of what we’re going to see.”

“Whispers of the Abyss” plays throughout the arena and the lights turn to a dim blue and a mist starts to enter the arena.

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

Much like last week, Phillips’ microphone cuts out again. However, as the music drags on, the Enigma is nowhere to be seen. Instead, a dark figure stands at the top of the entranceway. The figure steps through the fog, the spotlight catching the ornate and enigmatic mask they wear, a dark and intricate design that reflects a mysterious aura. Every movement they make exudes an air of cryptic intrigue and an uncanny command over the atmosphere. The figure stops at ringside and looks up at the ring. At that moment, the lights go out, but quickly come back on to see the Enigma standing in the middle of the ring. The lights now a reddish orange color, the Enigma standing in the middle of the ring, staring down at the figure.

Sharper: “This is strange Knots, who is that guy?”

Knots: “I wish I knew, Sharper, this is freaking me out.”

The lights come back on and the Enigma points toward the backstage area and just as quickly as the figure came, he is gone again, walking backstage. Enigma’s opponent, Sam Simmpson is standing at ringside, bewildered.

Knots: “Look at this guy standing at ringside, he’s shaking, he's so scared!”

Sharper: “I know, and quite frankly, I don’t blame him.”

Back in the ring, the Enigma is now on his hands with his legs stretched out behind him, he is just staring down Simpson. Simpson looks as though he’s refusing to get into the ring. A quick puff of mist appears and the crowd oohs as The Enigma appears seemingly from out of nowhere directly behind Simpson. Simpson turns around right into a hard right hand from the Enigma. Simpson staggers back and the Enigma grabs him by the back of the head and throws him into the steel steps.

Sharper: “This might not turn out very pretty…”

Simpson is leaning against the steel steps and the Enigma charges at full speed with a running knee smashing Simpson’s head between the steps and his knee.

Knots: “My God, Sharper. This guy is violent…”

Enigma picks him up and throws him hard into the barricade. The Enigma then picks up Simpson and drops him down on the barricade face first.

Sharper: “Someone is going to have to get out here and stop this, the match hasn’t even started yet!”

Enigma then picks up Simpson and drags him over to the announce table. Enigma starts to hammer away on him as he is leaned against the table with hard right hands. Knots starts to say something, and Enigma stares him down, stopping him immediately. Enigma continues to lay into Simpson before finally grabbing him by the back of the head and rolling him into the ring. The Enigma stalkingly slides into the ring after Simpson and slowly climbs to his feet. The referee attempts to stop Enigma, but Enigma just stares down the referee with his black eyes.

Sharper: “My God look at those eyes. It’s like there’s nothing there.”

Knots: “What do you expect, Sharper? Did you see the way that he looked at us? He has no soul. This, enigma if you want to call him that, there’s nothing there, only violence.”

The Enigma’s stare causes the referee to back down and Enigma goes right back to Simpson. Enigma throws him hard into the corner and comes back with a big time clothesline. Enigma pulls Simpson out of the corner, lifts him up and drops him down with a suplex. Enigma quickly gets Simpson up and throws him into the ropes and takes him down with a running knee. The crowd ‘oohs’ at The Enigma his a running knee drop on Simpson and stares down at him, his head moving side to side.

Sharper: “This Enigma is dangerous. Supreme Championship Wrestling better be on the look out, this guy is not going to back down from anyone.

Enigma walks over to the corner and stands with his hands on his face as the lights start to flicker colors of red, orange, green and gray. Enigma quickly assents to the top rope and flies off nailing the Shadowfall on Simpson! Enigma rises up to his knees and stares down at Simpson with a blank, stare as a thick fog starts to enter the arena.

Sharper: “What an elbow drop by Enigma! And now, that eerie fog has started to creep in again.”

Knots: “Yeah, but what’s that noise?”

As the fog starts to enter the arena, an eerie sound of chanting starts up. The dialogue of the chant cannot be understood. As it gets louder, Enigma lifts up Simpson and locks him in the DDT position. Enigma quickly turns Simpson’s body and drops his head on Enigma’s knee knocking him out cold. Simpson’s lifeless body lay on the mat.

Sharper: “He calls that Into The Abyss! What a devastating move! Simpson is out cold!”

The chants get even louder and the fog gets thicker as Enigma covers Simpson.

ONE

TWO

THREE!

Phillips: “Here is your winner… The Enigma!”

Enigma climbs off of Simpson, staring down at him with a dead stare. The veiled individual who was with Enigma earlier pops up from seemingly nowhere and stands in the ring with Enigma. Enigma and the individual stare down at Simpson. All of a sudden we hear a deep, maniacal laugh throughout the arena and various symbols are seen all throughout the arena. As the black mist gets thicker, the lights go out and when they come back up a few seconds later, all three individuals are gone.

Sharper: “Wait a minute, they’re all gone? What in the world is going on? Where are these people going?”

The crowd sits stunned at the disappearance of all three as we go to commercials.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Xander Valentine with Artemis and Trinity. They look at each other before Artemis steps up.

Artemis: “Okay, us looking at each other isn’t going to help anything.”

The camera pans out to show Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan standing across from them. The crowd cheers.

Xander: “That’s fair. It seems we’re all on the same side.”

Glory: “Putting it mildly. Though you and Brittany have a bit more motivation.”

Lohan: “Look, we can solve this. If she’d ever actually appear in the area.”

Glory: “Then we could just take her out.”

Xander: “Me first.”

The three teammates look at each other, all silent again. A few moments pass before Glory chimes in.

Glory: “Look, we all have our motivations. We all want Holly. You two more. I want to just make sure we win. Any tag win is what we need. We’re going to remove it from CHBK’s decisionmaking. We will be the obvious next challengers.”

Lohan: “I’m just here for you…and for now, Holly.”

Xander: “Holly is going to get a lesson. Not going to accept her getting her hands on them…and not going to accept the bullying. Knock her down a few pegs.”

Artemis: “Xander-“

Trinity: “Come on dad…you know there’s more.”

Xander: “This is a distraction…a necessary one. One that I will use to prove I should be challenging again for the World Title.”

Glory: “Then there we go. So we have something we all gain from winning.”

Artemis: “And why not make it easy with regards to Holly…whomever takes her out, get the bragging rights.”

Xander nods as Lohan and Glory look at one another. They turn to Xander. Xander then extends his hand.

Lohan: “Deal.”

Glory: “Deal.”

Xander: “Good luck tonight then.”

The three all shake each other’s hands. Xander, Artemis and Trinity walk off. Lohan turns to Glory.

Lohan: “We get through tonight. And then, we make a stop.”

Glory: “Oh?”

Lohan: “I plan to make Holly understand how serious we are.”

Lohan smiles as Glory and her walk off.

The scene suddenly breaks to show a shot of the American flag waving with the Holly Adams Brand logo coming up on the screen.

“This is a special emergency comment from the Holly Adams Brand.”

The scene then shifts to show Giovanni “GiGi” Aries standing in a robe in front of a white screen.

Aries: “Good evening. It is a shame we couldn’t be there in purpose. Our efforts never end. But the Holly Adams Brand will do its best to make its obligations. Someone like Holly is deeply in demand, because of her unique ability to reach people through the programs the Holly Adams Brand offers. But I will do my best to convey the message to our apparently opponents. People who are so filled with hate, they are already blind. And through their blindness they make wicked claims, about bullying, that are just not based in truth.”

Aries smiles calmly.

Aries: “We do not bully. At most, we constructively criticized, but only with the love that is in our hearts. Negative energy does not help anyone. It is why Valentine, Braddock and Lohan will fail in their hate-filled agenda at Under Attack. Hardly surprising with Lohan, a person who…”

Aries sighs.

Aries: “I wish I could help more, but she was so closed-minded. Almost as if she wasn’t there. And Xander…we are sorry, deeply sorry about Trinity and Artemis. But what did you expect when you engaged in such war-like behaviour. Your followers jumped into action. Control your fighters and you control their negativity. Nonetheless, as a precaution, I will make sure to thoroughly sage the ringside area in hopes of counteracting your villainous tendencies.”

Aries pauses again.

Aries: “And then, after you experience the teamwork and unity of the Holly Adams Brand, where Holly herself will provide a much needed personal workshop with the three of you, you can be at peace knowing that you have left your present selves in the past, along with any title aspirations, and understand that the Holly Adams Brand…it should be getting the opportunities. It should get more television time. It should have the full scope of SCW’s television to promote her pure message.”

Aries nods.

Aries: “You’ll all understand soon enough. As if Holly has the air time, she will make sure she uses it to the best of her abilities. I ensure of it.”

Aries smiles as the Holly Adams Brand logo comes back up on the screen. A few moments pass before we cut to the arena where we see Holly’s face imposed on Taylor Swift’s body as she talks to people in a luxury box.

Sharper: “What the hell was that? And what the hell is this?”

Knots: “Holly is here! She’s watching.”

Sharper: “Come on Jon.”

Knots: “Didn’t realize she was so tall.”

The scene changes to the backstage interview area where Jessica Winters stands with Deanna Frost, who proudly holds the SCW United States Championship.

Winters: “Jessica Winters here with Deanna Frost, the SCW United States Champion. Deanna, you asked for the Chamber. You’re getting the Chamber. And we know two of the individuals joining you. Polly who defeated Gavin Taylor last week and Lucas Knight, the SCW Hall of Famer. That’s only half a field.”

Deanna: “Yeah, only half so far. I want to defend this title. I want to face who wants a shot at me. Polly earned it. Lucas Knight, a legend. He wants a shot. Great. Let’s see what happens. Three spots left and I’m not afraid of who can be in there. Why? Last year, I had my arm broken in it by Kirsten Scott. And I’m still here. And I’m going to face that match again, and yeah, I may get injured. But I may win again. And if I win again…”

Winters: “You’re still focused on charting your own path.”

Deanna: “It’s all I can do. I’m the US Champion and I’m still getting where’s Selena questions. I’ll give you the answer I give everyone, from the media, to the fans, to SCW…She’s at home…and I don’t know when she’ll be back. And so, I’m the only Frost here. And I’ve already stepped up and defended this title three times against top competitors. So now…I’m looking for five people to join me. I have two. I want three more and-“

Deanna stops and turns as Gavin Taylor comes into view. The crowd erupts in cheers. Gavin looks at Deanna and then the US Title.

Gavin: “I know I’m on a losing streak. But you’ve got a third joining you. Me!”

The crowd cheers.

Gavin: “And before you say anything, I already know you’re wondering if I’ll have it. Well, I’m coming off how many matches…four, five? I’ve lost count…matches where my opponents needed to cheat to beat me. In high stakes matches. Well the Chamber is as high stakes…physically…as we can get. And this time, I’ll know where the hazards are. I’ll know to expect anything. And Deanna…I wouldn’t mind holding that. To get back on the path I was one months ago.”

Deanna: “Then let’s see if karma is on your side. Welcome in!”

Gavin: “Too bad it’s going to be the end of your title reign.”

Deanna: “We’ll see Gavin. We’ll see!”

Gavin looks at the title again before heading off as Deanna watches him walk off and smiles slightly.

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still for La Pequena Luz vs. The One Kirsten Scott comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “And from another joining the Chamber to the TV Championship on the line tonight. La Pequena Luz, one half of Light in the Darkness, challenges Kirsten Scott, next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

La Pequena Luz vs. “The One” Kirsten Scott

SCW Television Championship

“Believe In Tomorrow” by Sunflower’s Garden begins to play as bright white lights begin flickering on and off on the stage in rhythm with the music. La Pequeña Luz skips out onto the stage with the kind of smile that could light up an entire room all on its own plastered to her face, dancing a bit to her theme song and waving her arms in an attempt to get the crowd pumped up, drawing cheers.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship! First, the challenger, accompanied by Amelia Blythe, from Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico, she is La Pequena Luz!”

As she looks down towards the ring, the smile fades as something seems to flicker through her mind, but she’s snapped out of the trance as Amelia Blythe slowly makes her way out, placing a comforting hand on Luz’s shoulder. With a quick kiss to her cheek, Luz’s smile returns as the two proceed to lock hands before heading down to the ring, Amelia trying her best to keep up with Luz’s energetic skipping. Once they reach ringside, Luz pulls Amelia into a brief but passionate kiss before letting her go as she hops up onto the apron, grabbing the top rope before vaulting herself into a somersault into the ring, landing on her feet. Luz begins skipping around the ring, motioning once more for the fans to make some noise as they answer this call while Amelia takes her place in Luz’s corner on the floor, chuckling to herself and shaking her head at Luz’s energy. Luz removes her robe and hands it off to Amelia, who gives some last minute advice and words of encouragement as she does so.

Sharper: “La Pequena Luz looking to gain singles gold for the first time in SCW. Amelia Blythe a former TV champion. Nearly won the US Title. Both have a chance to become Tag Champions at Under Attack.”

Knots: “Ravyn Taylor will be watching this one closely. Syren too. Probably separately if Lexy Chapel has anything to say about it.”

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

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

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

AUS!

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

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Your Worst Personal Nightmare, the One, Kirsten Scott!”

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

After taking a moment to stare into the hard cam, Kirsten swings her arm out in a "DELETE" motion, before quickly sliding into the open ropes from being stood on by Hailey, and immediately goes to her corner. Hailey quickly follows, as does The Oracle from the outside. Both of "The One's" compatriots stand with her, advising her and talking to her, as she awaits the bell ringing to start her match. The official, Steve Hollinsworth walks over and is handed the SCW Television Championship. He takes it and holds it over his head as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen. He hands it off.

Sharper: “Kirsten Scott continues this impressive TV Championship reign. Another tough challenge.”

Knots: “We heard her apologize to Alexis Quinne earlier. So there’s that. And she still has Trios!”

Sharper: “She does and I’ve heard whispers that SCW is making sure she cashes in before its two late. But not just that, at least for Scott, she doesn’t need to worry about Adam Brock, still suspended for getting involved in her match the last couple of weeks.”

Luz and Scott look at one another. The bell sounds. They circle the ring before locking up in the middle of the ring. Scott and Luz push back on one another before Scott turn and moves into an arm wrench. She jerks on the arm. Luz winces and then rolls forward. She nips up and then cartwheels out of it and then wrenches Scott’s arm. Scott winces. Luz holds the arm up and Scott then rolls forward before rolling back and then ducking under and spinning through and into a side headlock. Luz holds on and pulls her to the ropes. She fires her off. Scott bounces off the other side and Luz steps up and Scott shoulders her down. Luz rolls through. She looks up and Scott steps up and kicks her in the ribs. She then whips her into the ropes. Luz bounces off and Scott goes for a back elbow. Luz bounces off the other side and somersaults under a clothesline attempt. Scott steps forward, stops herself and turns around as Luz hits a front dropkick.

Sharper: “Luz with the dropkick. Her athleticism the difference there.”

Knots: “Showing that lucha-libre.”

Sharper: “That’s right. Very well versed.”

Scott rolls over and gets up and Luz steps up with an overhead chop to the chest. Scott winces as the crowd woos. Luz chops her again. She pushes her into the corner and then goes to whip her across. Scott hits the corner. Luz runs after and Scott gets an elbow up. Luz staggers back and Scott runs forward and goes for a clothesline. Luz jumps up and catches her arm and moves into a crucifix pin.

Scott rolls out of it. Both get up and Luz goes for a chop, but Scott blocks it and then headbutts her. She whips her into the corner. Scott runs after and Luz jumps up and floats over, twisting in the air before dropping down and somersaulting to the middle of the ring. Scott turns and runs at her and Luz jumps up and takes her over with a monkey flip. Scott turns and gets up and Luz turns as Scott runs out and goes for a clothesline. Luz ducks under and hooks her arms, going for a backslide. Scott however blocks it and pulls Luz up and over, causing her to land in front of her and Scott knees her in the ribs. She then backs up and hits a knee lift. Luz falls back and rolls over in pain. Scott goes for the pin.

Luz kicks out. Amelia looks on.

Sharper: “Scott gets two after overpowering and outstriking Luz.”

Knots: “That’s one thing I wouldn’t go toe to toe with Kirsten Scott about. You’re going to lose.”

Sharper: “Amelia Blythe looking on. Watching her tag partner and fiancé. Hoping she walks out a champion.”

Scott gets up as Luz moves to the corner. Scott knees her again and then again. She whips her across the ring. Luz bounces off and Scott spins through and hits a discus clothesline. Luz hits the mat. Scott goes for the pin.

Luz kicks out again. She turns and Scott grabs her and pulls her up. She hooks her head and hits a vertical suplex. The One then turns and stomps her in the head. Hailey and The Oracle look on as Luz rolls over. Scott pulls her up and drags her over and moves her to the corner. Scott elbows her in the jaw once and then again before grabbing her and going to whip her across. She however stops and pulls her back in, but Luz gets her forearm up and cracks Scott in the jaw. She then grabs her arm and wrenches it before running up the corner and twisting back with a huge arm drag. Scott rolls through to her feet. She gets up and runs at Luz and Luz jumps up and hits a snap hurricanrana into a pin.

Scott kicks out. Luz rolls off. Both get up as the camera turns to see Ravyn Taylor walking down to the ringside area. The crowd boos seeing her only for Luz to hit an open palm strike to Scott’s jaw. She turns and jumps to the middle rope, diving back, but Scott catches her and hits a back suplex into a bridge.

Luz rolls her shoulder up. The crowd ohs. Scott and Luz roll away from another one, both slow to get up. Ravyn walks over and moves to ringside. She smiles.

Sharper: “Luz and Scott taking a lot out of each other. Luz nearly put down for the ocunt.”

Knots: “Yeah, but Scott’s not done. Luz neither.”

Sharper: “And Ravyn Taylor, yeah, that Ravyn. She’s now at ringside.”

Luz and Scott get up, Scott first. She runs over and hits the Hidden Blade on Luz as she gets up, catching her on the side of the head. Scott goes for the pin.

Luz gets her shoulder up. Scott rolls off and turns and Luz slowly rolls over and gets up. Scott grabs her and elbows her in the back of the head. She then pulls her in for a vertical suplex, but when she hoists her up, Luz knees Scott in the face. Luz drops down and then runs to the corner and hits a tornado DDT out of it. The crowd cheers. Luz rolls over. Ravyn applauds and slowly walks around to Amelia. Amelia keeps her eyes on Luz. Luz turns and runs to the ropes, jumping off the ropes and twisting around with a springboard leg drop. She goes for the pin.

Scott kicks out. She rolls over and Luz grabs her. She then hits a Russian leg sweep. She rolls through and then runs to the corner. She climbs to the middle rope and then to the top and hits a moonsault. Ravyn applauds as Luz hooks the leg.

Scott shoots her shoulder up.

Sharper: “Only two! Moonsault only gets two!”

Knots: “Ravyn gave it a ten for execution!”

Sharper: “And Luz and Scott continue to compete here for the SCW Television Championship!”

Ravyn turns to Amelia as Amelia smiles a bit, but remains focused on Luz. Ravyn then starts trying to converse with her as Luz grabs Scott. She then hits a European uppercut, a la her partner Amelia. Scott staggers. Luz then hits another one and then whips her across the ring. Scott bounces off the ropes and Luz kicks her in the ribs. She then jumps onto the back of Scott. She goes for the Code Red, but Scott pulls her legs in and sits down, driving Luz head first into the mat. She stays on her for the pin.

Luz kicks out. Both women get up and Luz turns to Scott who forearms her in the jaw. She then scoops her up and hits a ribbreaker. Scott powers her up and then hits a powerslam. She hooks the leg.

Luz gets her shoulder up. Scott rolls off. She turns and then runs into the ropes. Ravyn moves toward them and reaches toward Scott. She misses and Scott runs at Luz and hits a running Yakuza kick to the jaw.

Sharper: “And a running boot.”

Knots: “Did Ravyn try to trip Kirsten Scott?”

Scott turns and hooks the leg.

Luz gets her shoulder up. She rolls over and Scott grabs her. She pulls her up and places her head between her legs. Scott clubs her in the back once and then again before hoisting her up for a powerbomb, before running forward, but Luz rolls through and hits a sunset bomb, with added impact into a pin.

Scott kicks out. Both get up and Luz hits a low dropkick. Scott falls to the mat. She starts to get up and Luz runs into the ropes, bounces off, and hits the Flash Freeze. The crowd cheers. Luz goes for the pin.

Scott shoots her shoulder up. Luz rolls off as the crowd ohs and the crowd applauds. Amelia looks on, anxious as Ravyn seems to match Amelia’s emotions.

Sharper: “And only two! A great shining wizard. Got all of it. But Kirsten Scott said no!”

Knots: “And that image is going to give us nightmares. Ravyn Taylor and Amelia Blythe both looking on concerned! Is Ravyn actually cheering for Luz? This has to be a ruse!”

Sharper: “It’s Ravyn. So you have to think so.”

Luz gets up as Scott slowly rolls over. Luz then turns and grabs Scott. She then elbows her in the back of the head before elbowing her again and again. Luz turns and throws Scott into the ropes. Scott bounces off and Luz lifts her up, but Scott spins around Luz before stomping on the back of her leg and hitting a lunging knee to the back of the head. She roils her over and hooks the leg.

Luz shoots her shoulder up. Scott rolls off and looks over. Ravyn smacks the mat in joy as Amelia glances at her. Luz rolls over to her side. She then grabs at her head and starts to get up. Scott then knees her in the ribs before spinning her around. She then hoists her up and onto her shoulders. The crowd erupts as Scott tries to reach up to grab Luz’s head, but Luz manages to slide down and grabs Scott and pulls her down with the Lights Out. Luz rolls over, crawling to the corner and then climbing to the top rope. She glances back and looks down at Scott and then turns and dives off and hits the Ilumina la Noche.

Sharper: “Ilumina la Noche! Corkscrew Shooting Star!”

Knots: “She got all of it!”

Ravyn jumps up as Amelia does too. Luz hooks the leg.

The bell sounds. Luz rolls off and moves to her knees and looks out, overjoyed. Amelia rolls into the ring. Ravyn remains on the floor, looking in. Amelia embraces Luz.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW Television Champion, La Pequena Luz!”

Sharper: “La Pequena Luz is the new TV Champion! Kirsten Scott had been a fighting champion, but Luz put it together tonight!”

Knots: “Scott fought everyone. But couldn’t get past Luz. And a week and a half before challenging for the Tag Titles, Luz has other gold!”

Ravyn applauds at ringside as Amelia and Luz embrace some more before Luz is handed the SCW Television Championship. They get up and Luz holds the title over her head. Scott slowly rolls over as Luz celebrates some more. Fans cheer as Amelia applauds. Ravyn remains at ringside a moment longer before smiling and walking around the ring and heading to the back. The cameras remain on Luz celebrating.

Backstage, Adam Allocco walks out of his locker room in his wrestling attire. Alistaire Allocco turns to him, confused.

Alistaire: “Dad, what are you doing?”

Adam: “I’m going to compete.”

Alistaire: “You’re not booked.”

Adam stops Alistaire.

Adam: “Oh, but I will be. I’m going to make an offer someone can’t refuse. Trust me.”

Adam then starts to head off as Alistaire starts to follow.

Sharper: “What do you think this is about?”

Adam and Alistaire Allocco head down the hallway as Breakdown cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see La Pequena Luz and Amelia Blythe walking through the backstage area. The crowd cheers seeing them. Luz is just smiling through her mask, as she looks at the title over her shoulder. She takes a few more steps, reaching their locker room where Ravyn Taylor is waiting. Luz and Blythe stop.

Ravyn: “Congratulations out there. You earned it. Great job. And just remember…don’t let it change you…either of you.”

Ravyn smiles and walks off. Luz glances at her as Blythe just shakes her head.

Blythe: “Ignore her. This is your first title of November…and we’re going to do all we can to add a second one.”

They then walk into the locker room.

Adam Allocco vs. Datura

The arena lights shutter off. A single beam of golden light is cast down onto the center of the stage, accompanied by a loud bass rumbling from the sound system. A light snowfall of sliver confetti falls within the pillar of light. The rough guitar chords of 'Wired' by JJ Wilder strike the sound system. A few moments pass before Adam Allocco walks out from the back in his wrestling attire. Alistaire Allocco walks out with him, wearing a suit, the SCW Adrenaline Championship around his waist.

Sharper: “Adam Allocco coming out here. He’s not scheduled to compete.”

Knots: “He told Alistaire to trust him here. So what’s going on. I know he’s not senile.”

Adam walks down to the ring, making his triangle gesture with his hands. He then walks down to the ringside area. Alistaire Allocco follows. Adam then climbs onto the apron and looks around before entering the ring. He walks forward, extending his arms, before moving to his triangle pose. He looks around as Alistaire walks around the ring. Adam turns and asks for a microphone. Adam is handed one. He takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. His music fades out.

Adam: “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, I am going to offer you a title defense.”

The crowd roars.

Knots: “Well guess CHBK slapped down Alistaire as Adrenaline Champion!”

Sharper: “This is notable news. If only we had promoted it.”

Knots: “Adam Allocco has an important announcement!”

Adam: “Now, sorry, it won’t be the Adrenaline Championship. I’m not the champion and that’s Alistaire’s choice to put it on the line. Or SCW’s and trust me, they’re not going to touch this one.”

Adam looks around.

Adam: “And that’s because last week, Datura, again showing how far one can fall after the opportunity I gave her in Majestic so many years ago…but she threw away a title. A title she seemed to care about. The Unsanctioned Championship. Now she claims she doesn’t care, but please…this is a title that has brought a certain…je ne sais quoi….that’s French. You people here apparently pretend to know it.”

Adam looks around.

Adam: “But damn it, the title is special to me. And I may as well do the wrestling world a favour. And so…I know someone grabbed that title. I know someone found it and has to be claiming to be Champion. I didn’t find it when I went to look for it after…of course, as a sign of respect to Datura, in case, as she often does, regrets her decision. But, to facilitate that, I need to hold that title. So to the Unsanctioned Champion…I am calling you out. I will give you a wrestling legend and continue to prove that the Alloccos, both of us, cannot be stopped. And to showcase this family’s dominance, Alistaire’s denied dominance, I’m going to win that title for him too!”

Adam looks around.

Adam: “And so, whoever is the champion…please come out here. You can make the rules. It can be as chaotic as you’d like-“

As the opening notes of Sleep Token’s “The Offering” bounce around the arena, the lights go completely black. Two blue lights on either side of the ramp suddenly burst onto the stage, revealing clouds of fog billowing down the aisle. As the guitar begins to pick up, the lights flicker on beat. As the drums finally kick in, and the music explodes into intensity, Datura
slinks onto the stage, a devious smirk on her face, microphone in her hand. She turns to the left, then right, staring into the sea of cell phone lights. She looks down at the ring as Bree Lancaster, in a blouse and slacks, walks out behind her. The crowd cheers some more.

Sharper: “Datura coming out.”

Knots: “She threw the title away. Already having regrets!”

Sharper: “Or maybe seeing through what Adam Allocco has in mind.”

Datura: “Adam…”

Adam: “Datura! You can’t even make up your mind. If you’re having regrets…”

Datura: “I’m having no regrets. But I’m also not going to let you use that title as your way to get to me. When the attention should be on two things…the Adrenaline Championship and our first tag match.”

Datura and Bree head to the ring as the music fades out. Datura reaches the ring and climbs up onto the apron. Bree walks up the steel steps. They both enter the ring.

Datura: “I think you need to recognize that Under Attack is going to be another failure for you two.”

The crowd cheers.

Datura: “While I don’t understand how Alistaire can forgive you and he can criticize Bree’s religious beliefs, we have been waiting for this match for a while. Not against you, but to finally team in a standard tag match. And that it’s against you, when you hand the Adrenaline Championship to your son as your terrible transparent desire to make anything good for your son after screwing his life up.”

Alistaire steps forward. Adam stops him.

Adam: “It’s fine Alistaire. You can doubt me all you want Datura. Just because I’m changing, you can doubt that. But he is the Adrenaline Champion in my eyes. Why? Because he should’ve been so many times over. And if you don’t care about the Unsanctioned Title, why are you here?”

Datura: “To let you know how screwed you two are.”

The crowd cheers.

Datura: “Bree wanted me to stay backstage. But well, Statera…being balance, things were out of balance and I wanted to send a message. One to maybe make YOU think twice. You’re in your gear. I’m in mine. How about we have a match?”

The crowd roars.

Datura: “No, we’re not going to staple each other’s asses. Kim and you can have that between you.”

Adam lightly touches his ass where he was stapled back in March 2023.

Datura: “You need to make me tap.”

Datura drops the microphone. Adam smirks.

Adam: “Seriously? Oh this is going to be easy.”

Adam smiles as he turns and puts the microphone down and Bree leans back in the corner as Alistaire looks at his father. Adam smirks and turns back to Datura and goes to grab her, before Datura suddenly grabs his arm and ducks under and locks in a crossface chickenwing. The crowd erupts as Adam struggles, reaching out as Datura pulls back. She then turns and tries to get off of Adam. Adam keeps struggling and Datura lets go and shoves him forward. Adam steps forward and Alistaire steps up and Adam tells him to stop before Adam turns and then goes high before going low, but Datura jumps up and lands on the back of Adam before rolling through, hooking her arms on his arms and then spinning around and going for a Lotus Lock. Adam moves forward as Datura then legs go and gets back.

Sharper: “Datura putting on a clinic! Adam wasn’t expecting this. We know Datura has a well-established technical background, but the Unsanctioned Championship hid some of that.”

Knots: “Kinda like Kim, but Datura caught Adam offguard and Adam has no response. Why did you have to open your big mouth, Adam!”

Datura turns and smirks before Adam gets up and Datura grabs him, going for a guillotine, but Alistaire puts down the Adrenaline Championship before grabbing Datura in a waistlock. The crowd roars and Alistaire turns and throws Datura down. Datura rolls over and looks at him as Alistaire shakes his head.

Alistaire: “Let him up!”

Datura: “Hey, I made the rules!”

Datura shoves Alistaire back and Adam then lunges and nails Datura with a superkick. The crowd ohs as Datura rolls over. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Superkick by Adam!”

Knots: “These submissions are getting much more explosive!”

Alistaire turns to Adam, looking at him with some shock, before Bree jumps up behind Alistaire and hits him with the Rectifier. The crowd erupts.

Sharper: “And Bree just dropped Alistaire who first got involved!”

Alistaire rolls over, holding his head and neck in pain. Bree gets up and Adam turns and goes to Alistaire and checks on him. Bree turns and checks on Datura. Datura leans back in the corner. Adam glances at her as Datura mouths “I win.” Bree helps Datura up as Adam starts to check on Alistaire. “Dead Don’t Die” by Shinedown plays as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “A brief skirmish here. But Adam checking on his son, instead of getting a shot in on Bree. Bree standing up for Datura.”

Knots: “And they’ll all be face to face to face to face at Under Attack. Tag match! Alloccos and Statera! Finally, for Statera!”

Datura rolls to the floor. She then rubs her jaw as Bree rolls under after and joins Datura. They head around the ring as Alistaire turns and looks at his father. He rolls away from Adam. Adam looks at him before rolling out after him. Alistaire slowly walks around the ring to leave too as Adam follows.

Sharper: “Let’s go backstage where Syren is with Jessica Winters. Jessica?”

The scene opens in the backstage interview area. Syren stands with Jessica Winters, proudly holding her SCW World Tag Team Championship belt. Lexy Chapel stands with them.

Winters: “Thank you-“

Chapel’s phone starts to ring. She quickly looks at it.

Chapel: “Oh, I need to take this. You got this.”

Chapel turns and heads off.

Winters: “Well as Lexy heads off, I’m here with Syren, one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions and Syren, a lot of people have been wondering what is going on with Ravyn Taylor. She’s been talking to the challengers, Amelia Blythe and La Pequena Luz. There’s a lot of people wondering if she’s playing mind games. Blythe and Luz even went to talk to Lucas Knight about them. And through all of this…you’ve been silent. I understand you’re coming off a loss of the Adrenaline Championship, but surely you have something to say here.”

Syren: “First, it was disappointing not to win the Adrenaline Championship and I don’t agree with Alistaire being handed the title, regardless of his missed opportunities. Lexy is working on the rematch and what not, but my attention should be on the Tag Titles for now and they are. I have been focusing on training. On spending time with Ravyn outside of the ring, to try and get back to the level that Dark Fantasy represents. It’s been a while.”

Winters: “But about Ravyn’s tactics? You’re fine with it.”

Syren: “What tactics? That she’s talking to Luz and Amelia. Plus, she is right. We had some disagreements. We still do. We have different ideas of how to act in the ring-“

Winters: “You think she’s genuine?”

Syren shrugs.

Syren: “I don’t think she’s evil. She sounds like she’s changing.”

Winters: “But her track record.”

Syren: “Yes, I’ve heard-…I’ve seen it and even contributed to it. But I’ve changed. Look what I’ve done. Maybe it’s legitimate. I’ve not talked to her about it. I’ve focused on competing against a team that has shown how good they are in that ring. I rewatched their classic against the House of Frost from Retribution. I want to make sure that these titles stay with Ravyn and I.”

Winters: “You’ve not talked about it at all. And given her track record. Even lately, you joined Lexy because you didn’t trust Ravyn. How can you-“

Lexy comes back into the scene.

Winters: “-trust her?”

Lexy: “Trust who? Ravyn? She’s evil. You know, she knows it, I know it. But Syren and I are working on it. No evil with us around. Nothing. All good. And the Tag Titles are going to be under the Lexy Chapel banner for a long time.”

Winters: “Really, Syren-“

Lexy: “Syren is focusing on being the best. And we have to go. You distracting her and confusing her with leading questions to confirm what we ALLLLLLLL know. Ravyn is evil. But Ravyn has to answer to us. That’s the new deal and it’s going to work. Dark Fantasy, presented by Lexy Chapel, is going to retain the titles at Under Attack. Simple as that, bitches!”

Chapel motions to Syren. Syren then weakly smiles before heading off. We can hear Chapel saying “What did you say?” as they walk off. Winters looks a bit surprised as the scene cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

We open backstage to see the back entrance of the building where Kandis is walking into the building. The SCW World Championship is over her shoulder and her bags are over her other shoulder. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Sharper: “And there you see Kandis! The World Champion! She’s now here!”

Knots: “And things just got more interesting for our main event!”

Diamond Steele vs. Sarah Wolf vs. Amelia Stone vs. Derek Adonis

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

The crowd erupts in cheers. 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-Mountain known as Derek Adonis!

And there he is! Stepping out amidst spotlights of every colour of the rainbow, the man’s outfit radiates light against a few blacklights slipped in, and he is completely oblivious to his detractors, basking in the glow of the spotlight as he begins his sensual stride towards the ring.

If you’re so inclined, you should check out the lyrics to the song that Adonis is entering to, because they really paint their own tapestry almost as well as the man himself is able to, stopping at various points on his walk down towards the ring to hit on some of the more attractive females in the area – without caring about the potential of boyfriends, husbands or security. He’ll take their hand, whisper sweet nothings to them (and, if you’ve seen girls at shows put in this kind of embarrassing situation, these do the same as all of them – and just laugh) and plant his lips ever so gently upon said hand before moving farther down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is a fatal fourway match, scheduled for onefall, with a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, making his return, from Las Vegas, Nevada…Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

As the chorus comes around, Adonis steps up the ramp, taking each step with added emphasis. He gets onto the apron and after winking at a particularly friendly female (probably the most receptive to advances of earlier), 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.

Knots: “He’s back!”

Sharper: “Derek Adonis is back.”

Knots: “Looking to take advantage of his victory at Rise to Greatness in the Gimmick Battle Royal!”

Sharper: “That was a year ago…”

Knots: “Well, he was making sure he was ready!”

Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain. She has a microphone in her hands sings as loudly as she can to the sound of the crowd. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly.

Phillips: “Next, from London, England, she is Diamond Steele!”

Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Diamond Steele hoping that she can right the ship in this one. An interesting match. Four individuals, all with different motivations.”

Knots: “All wanting the win. Two returning. One pissed off. One looking to get back to a win.”

“Play with fire” begins to play throughout the arena. The crowd murmurs as Amelia makes her way out from behind the curtains. She stares out across the stage, around the crowd.

Phillips: “Next, making her way to the ring, coming in from Phoenix, Arizona, Amelia Stone!"

Making her way down to the ring, she takes the steps before going along the side and peering once more at the people in the crowd. Placing her arms back over the top rope, she uses it as she does a backflip over the rope to enter the ring.

Sharper: “And speaking of returns, Amelia Stone returning.”

Knots: “Didn’t expect this. She’s been out for a while. Was going to be Glory’s tag option a while back. Now Glory has Brittany Lohan. So she’s going on her own!”

“When I am queen” by Jack Off Jill plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos as the cameras start to pan around the arena.

Phillips: “And finally, from Bent Fork, Tennessee, she is Dollface, Sarah Wolf!”

The music continues to play as cameras continue to look for Sarah Wolf.

Sharper: “And we now await the arrival of Sarah Wolf, likely from the crowd.”

Knots: “She does know there’s a backstage area. She can get dressed there. We even have catering. I’m sure she’d love the tiny sandwiches.”

Sharper: “Well, she’s an odd one, and in the process, has made sure to make Alexis Quinne’s life a living hell and…look out!”

Diamond Steele runs at Adonis and nails him in the side. The crowd boos. The bell sounds. Adonis goes down and Diamond kicks away on him as Amelia Stone then runs over and joins Diamond in the mugging of Adonis. The two stomp away before Adonis rolls to the floor and down to the mats. Diamond then turns and goes for a hard right on Amelia, but Amelia blocks it and nails her with a hard right and then a kick to the ribs. Diamond falls to the corner. Amelia elbows her in the jaw and then knees her in the ribs and fires her off. Amelia runs after and Diamond gets a boot up. Amelia falls to the mat. Diamond then jumps to the middle rope and dives forward, hitting a crossbody splash to Amelia. Diamond rolls through.

Sharper: “Hard splash. Diamond throwing herself at Amelia after Amelia, dazed, from that boot.”

Knots: “And right now, with no Wolf, and Adonis on the floor, trying to count his bruises, it’s a singles match.”

Diamond gets up and turns to Amelia as she gets up and Diamond wrenches the arm and hits a back kick to the ribs. Diamond runs into the ropes, bouncing off and spinning through with a school boy.

Amelia kicks out. Both get up and Diamond kicks Amelia in the ribs. She hoists her up, but Amelia kicks her legs and lands behind Diamond. Diamond turns around and Amelia grabs her head in a cravate and drives her down into her knee. Diamond staggers back. Amelia then runs over and grabs her and pulls her back, down to the mat before rolling through into a Koji clutch. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “And Amelia with a koji clutch. Rolling through.”

Knots; “And Diamond looking for the ropes. Does it matter?”

Sharper: “It won’t make the submission count, but Amelia can’t be disqualified in this format.”

We then cut to the floor to see Derek Adonis heading around and suddenly getting pulled back by Sarah Wolf, who now has appeared from the crowd and spins him around and throws him hard, back first, into the barricade. Derek Adonis drops to the mat. The crowd ohs.

Sharper:” And there’s Sarah Wolf! Form the crowd!”

Knots: “Man Mountain is just not doing well here.”

Wolf rolls into the ring as Diamond reaches for the ropes, trying to get to them. Instead, she’s saved by Wolf who runs over and stomps Amelia in the head. Amelia rolls over and gets up and immediately Sarah Wolf rakes the eyes. Amelia staggers and then Wolf just drills her with a hard shoot kick to the chest, knocking her down. The crowd ohs. Diamond gets up and Wolf chops her in the chest and then rakes her chest for good measure. Diamond winces and Wolf kicks her in the ribs and whips her across the ring. Diamond bounces off and Wolf runs at her and drills her with a hard clothesline. Diamond rolls over and turns as Wolf walks over and rakes her eyes.

Sharper: “Wolf making her presence felt. She’s not found an eye she doesn’t want to damage.”

Knots: “After the lasting damage from the Green Mist that Alexis Quinne spewed in her eyes, why not? Even the playing field. And it’s technically legal.”

Wolf then nails Diamond with a hard right and then a chop before going to whip her across. She is sent across into Amelia who hoists her up and hits a fireman’s carry into the corner. Amelia spins around and Wolf kicks her in the ribs. She then pulls her in and smirks before driving her thumb into Amelia’s throat. Amelia rolls over in pain. She turns to Diamond and grabs her before pulling her up, but Diamond ducks under and then both spin around and Diamond manages to get up and through for a float-over DDT. Diamond rolls Wolf over for the pin.

Wolf kicks out. Diamond gets up and Adonis is up onto the apron. Diamond turns and nails him with a hard right before backing up and lunging, but Adonis catches her and hits a guillotine drop. Amelia heads over to Diamond as Adonis enters. Wolf gets up and Adonis runs at the two women, only for them to move out of the way as Adonis jumps in the air.

Adonis: “KA!”

Adonis instead hits a crossbody onto Wolf, driving her into the mat.

Adonis: “BLAM!”

He stays on her for the pin.

Amelia and Diamond both break it up. Adonis rolls over as Diamond goes to keep the attack on Adonis, only for Amelia to pull her back with a Russian leg sweep. She then rolls through and then grabs the head of Diamond. She pulls her up and hooks her arm and goes for an armbreaker bulldog. Diamond pushes her off. Diamond then runs at her and hits a running back elbow. She turns around and runs at Adonis who scoops her up and hits a twisting powerslam. He goes for the pin.

Diamond kicks out.

Sharper: “Only two after Adonis drives Diamond Steele into the mat.”

Knots: “And here comes Amelia. Have to have your head on a swivel!”

Derek gets to his knees and Amelia grabs him from behind and pulls him down with an arm-trap neckbreaker. Adonis rolls over in pain. Amelia turns and then goes to Diamond, but Wolf gets up and boots her in the face. Amelia gets up and Wolf grabs her from behind. She throws her back with a back suplex. Wolf turns and gets up and turns and runs at Diamond and hits a running dropkick to the jaw. Diamond falls back. Wolf goes for the pin.

Diamond pushes her off. She rolls over as Wolf then turns and walks over to Adonis, stomping him in the face once and then again before pulling him up and pushing him into the corner. Wolf punches him twice in the ribs before rearing back and Amelia grabs her by the arm and pulls her back before then hitting an armbreaker DDT. Wolf rolls over in pain. Amelia gets up and turns and Diamond staggers up before hitting a Pele kick. Amelia falls to the mat.

Sharper: “And Pele Kick! Shades of Ryan Watson and James Exeter!”

Knots: “And it may get a win!”

Diamond hooks the leg.

Amelia gets her shoulder up. Diamond rolls off and turns to Wolf as she gets up and hits a boot to the face. Derek Adonis meanwhile climbs to the top rope at this point. Diamond turns as the crowd roars only for Adonis to attempt the Top Rope F*ckinator. Diamond dives out of the way. Adonis lands on his feet and falls to the mat. He rolls over.

Knots: “Good God!”

Sharper: “Adonis just did a flip off the top! He calls that the….uh…I can’t call this-“

Knots: “Censor. We need to some advice.”

Diamond gets up stunned and turns to Adonis and nails him with a hard right. He then turns as Amelia grabs Diamond and shoves her into the far corner. Amelia nails her with a hard right and then another and another before then grabbing her by the head in an armbar. She goes to take her out, but Adonis runs across the ring and jumps up. He hits the KABLAM on Diamond. Amelia lets go and moves out of the way. Adonis staggers back into Amelia. Diamond falls to the mat. Amelia tries to push Adonis out of the way and Sarah Wolf then runs over and grabs the arms of Diamond and locks in the Hybrid Moment. Diamond yells out as Amelia spins around Adonis and pulls him down, going for a Gogoplata. She struggles to get it in as Diamond yells in pain as Wolf keeps pulling up on the arms. Diamond flails her hand as the official calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Amelia lets go as does Wolf. Wolf steps forward.

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

Sharper: “Wolf winning with a violent submission.”

Knots: “Was a race at the end. Amelia just never got the Gogoplata on!”

Wolf steps forward. The official goes to raise her arm, but Wolf pulls away. The crowd erupts as Alexis Quinne walks out from the back. She looks down at the ring. Wolf then turns to her and smirks.

Sharper: “And there’s Alexis Quinne! Nothing to say. Nothing more to do.”

Knots: “She could still make a break for the ring.”

Sharper: “They’ve been fighting for months. And it looks like this is going to be a quiet night for once. Last Woman Standing at Under Attack!”

Wolf looks at Quinne as Stone rolls to the floor. She walks around the ring, pulling her armband off. Wolf and Quinne continue to watch one another as the camera catches officials jogging into place in case there is any violence between them before the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, Twisted & Sadistic return to their locker room. Glory steps forward and stops. Brittany turns and pats her on the back before walking past. Glory looks forward as Amelia Stone sits on the bench, leaning forward.

Glory: “Amelia.”

Amelia: “Hi Glory…”

Glory: “Good showing out there. Just made a questionable judgment call.”

Amelia: “Yeah, don’t worry. I’m on it.”

Glory: “Good. You were always a quick study.”

Amelia: “How’s Brittany?”

Glory: “She’s good. We’re doing well.”

Amelia: “Good.”

Amelia then goes to walk out.

Glory: “Did you want to say anything or just stopping in?”

Amelia: “Stopping in. That’s all.”

Amelia walks out of the locker room as Breakdown cuts to the ring.

Kelsai Adamson vs. Sal Darius

'California love' by 2Pac Shakur hits the arena and Sal Darius comes out wearing his world's famous blublockers. 'The Sex Vibe' comes out with all the hype and toughness. He walks a little and then takes a sprint to the ring.

Phillips: “Now making his way to the ring, introducing first, from Venice, California... The Sex Vibe Sal Darius!”

After sliding in the ring underneath the bottom rope, Sal climbs the turnbuckle and points to his crouch. Then 'The King of the world of Hearts' throw his blublocker aviators in the crowd and jumps back performing boxing shadow in the ring warming up for his bout.

Sharper: “Sal Darius has to be looking for a win here tonight. He's been a little inconsistent since coming to SCW.”

Knots: “Hey, if he doesn't win the match, maybe he can have a chat with our World Champion, see if she can't make him feel better.”

Sharper: “That's.... that's just-”

Knots: “Sensible? She's our whore, he's the sex vibe... it fits! Pun not intended.”

Sharper: “I’m moving on. Sal clearly hoping to send a message to Adam Brock, who is suspended, through Kelsai Adamson, who is with Chance Owens, Brock’s mentee.”

The familiar riffs of Nickelback's "Savin Me" begins and soon Kelsai Adamson appears at the top of stage. As she walks down the aisle toward the ring she soaks in the mixed reaction from the crowd. Kelsai has a small smile om her face as she heads towards the ring.

Phillips: “And his opponent... from Denver, Colorado, she is Kelsai Adamson!”

Kelsai gets to the ring and goes up the steps, wiping her feet before stepping between the ropes. She gets up into the corner and waves at the crowd, smiling, drawing a mixed reaction.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson was at one point one of the most beloved stars on the roster. Now... since partnering with Chase Owens some have take umbrage with her new attitude.”

Knots: “Personally I like it. The old Kelsai was a pushover, this woman has a spine.”

Kelsai hops down as her music fades and turns to face Sal. He gives her a smirk, making a show of looking her up and down. Kelsai jabs a finger down her throat, miming throwing up. Sal glares, then takes a giant step towards her and slaps her hand away from her face. The crowd oohs. Kelsai turns her head from the impact, then snaps her head up glares. Sal smirks again and rears back for another slap, but Kelsai steps back, causing him to miss. She then fires off a roundhouse kick. Sal stumbles backwards. Kelsai runs at him and nails a flying forearm smash. Sal backs into the ropes. Kelsai grabs an arm and pulls him away, trying to swing him around into the corner. Sal counters though and sends Kelsai into the corner instead. He follows up by running in with a brogue kick. Kelsai slides down a bit, sitting on the turnbuckle. Sal pulls her up and out of the corner, then spins around and flings her back with a release suplex. He turns and makes a cover.

1!

Kelsai kicks out hard.

Sharper: “Sal Darius trying to end this one early!”

Knots: “We don't get paid by the hour here in SCW!”

Sal gets up and Kelsai does right behind him. Sal turns and Kelsai lands a forearm before grabbing Sal and nailing a DDT. Kelsai makes a cover.

1!

Sal kicks out, shoving Kelsai away hard. The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “Another one-count and Sal practically throwing Kelsai off.”

Knots: “They're just trying to wear each other down.”

Both get up and Sal grabs Kelsai, sending her into the ropes. On the return he grabs her and sends her flying with a back body drop. Kelsai lands hard on her side behind Sal. He turns and smirks at her positioning. He steps up and goes for the Darius Stomp, but Kelsai sees it coming ad rolls out of the way at the last second! Sal isn't expecting to hit air so he stumbles when his foot slams the mat. Kelsai kips up behind him and waits for him to gain his balance. As soon as Sal is vertical and before he turns around Kelsai nails him with a dropkick to the back! Sal falls forward and gets his hands down a split second before he would have hit the mat face first. Kelsai flips him over and drags him closer to the corner. She looks around, and climbs to the top rope.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson looking to put this one away right now!”

Knots: “She knows Amy Chastaine is watching, she wants to send a message. I was your student, but I'm gonna surpass you.”

Kelsai rises on the top rope as Sal stirs. She leaps with the Bombs Away..... but Sal gets his knees up! The crowd ohhs as Kelsai rolls off, holding her ribs. Sal starts to get up, shaking off one of his legs. Kelsai is up first, still holding her side but determined to end this. Sal gets to his feet, favoring one leg.

Sharper: “Sal Darius saved himself from the full impact but his counter may have tweaked his knee. Kelsai landed right on top of his legs.”

Knots: “That's the risk you take, Adam.”

Kelsai notices this and runs at Sal, hitting a low dropkick to his legs. Sal goes down, yelling as he grabs at his knee. Kelsai climbs the corner again and wastes no time launching the Bombs Away again, this time landing all of it. She makes a cover, hooking the hurt leg.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings and Kelsai shoves Sal's leg away.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, by pinfall.... Kelsai Adamson!”

Kelsai gets to her feet and goes up to the corner facing the crowd, one arm overhead in celebration.

Sharper: “I know Amy Chastaine saw that. Kelsai saw a weak knee and zeroed in on it.”

Knots: “That's the message she's sending. She'll do what it takes to get the win.”

The official checks on Sal Darius as Kelsai continues to celebrate up on the ropes in the corner.

Backstage, we see Gigi looking down at the floor while seated on one of the benches in the room. The door opens as Katie walks over to her.

Katie: “Gigi…”

Gigi: “Just not in the mood Katie. I’m letting everything slip through my fingers.”

Katie: “Oh…”

Gigi just looks down as Katie is unsure of how to respond.

Gigi: “I’m just trying to figure things out. We used to dominate. And we can do it again, but I’m not there. And I can’t challenge for my titles…or help you become Supreme Champion-“

Katie: “Gigi…”

Katie sighs.

Katie: “Stop. I’ve gone to talk to CHBK.”

Gigi looks up.

Gigi: “New partner-“

Katie: “No. After Adam’s thing with his son, I realized I could do the same. Help you out. Help you get closer to your goals a bit more. Just like you’ve helped me with mine. Sure we lost. And we’ll need to fix that, but it’s going to make the story better. And…”

Katie sighs again.

Gigi: “Katie. What did you do?”

Katie: “I…”

She sighs a third time.

Katie: “I’ve asked to be in the Chamber. I’m going to fight on your behalf.”

Gigi: “Katie, but the Chamber.”

Katie sighs again.

Katie: “I know…but if you’re going to get out of your comfort zone…I should do the same. And Goddess help us both.”

“The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe vs. Kimberly Williams

The opening riff of “Wolf Within” hits the speakers and once the lyrics kick in Cassie Wolfe emerges from the back excited to start the match, with her hands on her leather jacket’s sides the rookie wrestler turns her back to the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit! Introducing first, from Greenock, South Australia and now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, “The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe!”

When her name is announced Cassie spins around flashing the metal horns sign with her left hand and clapping fans hands with the other, when she reaches the ring Cassie jumps onto the apron before giving her hair a full flip and removing her jacket to give to a stagehand, she then jumps over the top rope and into the ring, rolling to her knees and basking in the moment.

The lights go out, except for a single spotlight at the top of the stage. The opening chords to “Patient Number 9” by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play. A haunting voice is heard…

"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"

The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on and Kimberly Williams, wearing the SCW Underground Championship, is standing at the top of the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the SCW Underground Champion, the Wild Card, Kimberly Williams!”

A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it. She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Kimberly then poses in the center of the ring to another loud reaction from the fans. The music slowly dies down and Kimberly goes to a corner to await the start of the match.

Sharper: “Kim Williams already causing some chaos backstage.”

Knots: “Pain couldn’t fly!”

Sharper: “We know Cassie Wolfe can fly. This could be an interesting one. Not underground rules. Standard rules and we know what Kim can do.”

Cassie starts with an arm drag, another arm drag, and then a dropkick. She goes for a clothesline but Kim ducks under and connects with a pele kick. Williams follows it up with discuss elbow and then a spinning heel kick, flooring Cassie. Kim whips Wolfe into the ropes. Kim lowes her head early and Cassie makes her pay with a swift kick to the face followed by a dropkick that sends Kim tumbling to the outside. Cassie then charges off the ropes and leaps over the top with a suicide dive onto Kimberly.

Sharper: “Over the top! Cassie with a huge dive onto Williams!”

Knots: “Kimberly Williams just finding out that someone is risk-taking in a different way!”

Cassie sets Kim up and drops her with a suplex on the outside. Cassie walks in but Kim counters with a drop toe hold, sending Wolfe face first onto the steel steps. Kim then hooks The Rebel Princess and plants her with a full nelson release suplex on the outside. The Woman Scorned pulls Wolfe up and rolls her back into the ring. Kim returns to the ring and ascends to the second rope. She comes off with a blockbuster onto Cassie. Instead of going for the cover, Kim applies an stf.

Sharper: “And Kim now trying to keep Cassie grounded.”

Knots: “Can’t hit a plancha from there!”

The referee asks Cassie if she wants to give up but she refuses. Kim keeps the hold locked in tightly for about fifteen seconds before Cassie manages to reach the ropes and force a break. Kim with an arm dragon screw and floats over into an arm bar. Again the referee is there to ask for a submission but Cassie won’t give in. After about twenty seconds Cassie reaches the ropes, forcing a break.

Sharper: “Cassie Wolfe not giving up. Fighting through. Now Kim has to let go.”

Knots: “She’s certainly going to count to at least four and a half!”

Kimberly measures Cassie as the Rebel Princess tries to negotiate her way back to her feet. Kim goes for Shadowblade early but Cassie ducks the move. Kim scrambles back to her feet but runs into a superkick from Wolfe that knocks her down. Kim tries to get back up but Wolfe puts her back down with a shining wizard. Cassie goes for a cover, hooking a leg…

Sharper: “Greenest Wizard!”

Knots: “She could beat her!”

1…

2…NO! Kim kicks out!

Wolfe pulls Kimberly up to her feet. She sets her up and drops her with Down Under Driver, the brainbuster. Wolfe then goes up to the top turnbuckle. She leaps off and connects with Air Aussie, the 450 splash! She stays on top for a cover…

1…

2…

…3NO! Kim shoots her right shoulder up off the mat!

Cassie takes a few steps back and measures Kim as she tries to sit up. Cassie goes for a running soccer kick but Kim avoids contact. Cassie goes for a superkick but Kim catches the foot and snaps off a dragon screw. Kim steps through into a leg grapevine.

Sharper: “Kim counters. Going for the leg. Snapping Wolfe off.”

Knots: “And Cassie won’t be doing much flying either if she keeps going like this.”

Kim keeps the leg grapevine in as long as she can while Cassie crawls towards the ropes. After about twenty seconds Cassie reaches the ropes, forcing a break. Kim quickly crawls over towards the corner and picks up Wasley.

Kim: “She’s not tapping, Wasley! Now what?”

The Rebel Princess slowly pulls herself up. She spots Kim talking to Wasley. She charges in.

Kim: “Oh, she’s coming up behind me?”

She turns and tosses the penguin to Cassie who catches him, but then she drops him back down to the mat. Kim charges in and connects with a discuss elbow. Kim follows that up with an axe kick. Williams snaps off Morrigan’s Wrath. Kim then locks in Homage to the Queen.

Sharper: “Homage to the Queen. Cassie in trouble!”

Knots: “And Cassie Wolfe trying to keep fighting. Kim almost torturing her!”

Again the referee is in Cassie’s face checking for a submission. The Rebel Princess keeps fighting but so much damage has been done and she isn’t sure if she can hang on. She tries to drag herself to the ropes again and gets close, so close, right up into the ‘face’ of Wasley.

Kim: Tap! Wasley is encouraging you to tap!

Cassie, with her free arm, shoves the penguin. This angers Kim and makes her break the submission.

Kim: Now you did it!

Kim pulls Cassie up and snaps off a snap suplex. Kim then waits as Wolfe pulls herself up. Kim goes for a scissors kick but Wolfe ducks and then connects with a ddt counter onto Kim. Cassie kips up to her feet. She scrambles up to the top turnbuckle and then flies off with a huricinrana onto Williams. Cassie then connects with a springboard moonsault into a cover…

1…

2…

…3NO! Kim kicks out!

Cassie pulls Kim back up to her feet. She puts her head between her legs, setting her up for Heir To The Wolfe, but Kim counters with a back body drop. Kim then hits the ropes and comes back with Shadowblade onto Wolfe! Instead of covering, Kim takes Wolfe by her legs and turns her over into the Angel’s Arch, an elevated boston crab used by her mother Angelica Jones.

Sharper: “Another hold! Angel’s Arch!”

Knots: “Jesus. Maybe sending a different message to James Evans!”

Cassie fights valiantly, still refusing to quit. She tries to drag herself to the ropes. She is within fingertips after about twenty seconds but Kim drags her back out to the center and then sits back on it, adding more torque and more pressure. After ten more seconds Cassie finally taps out.

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, the SCW Underground Champion, KIMBERLY WILLIAMS!

Kimberly releases the hold and then starts jumping up and down in celebration. She hugs the referee and hugs Phillips. The celebration is short lived when James Evans appears at the top of the stage with Lues, Pain, Mordred, and Harker. James then leads them to the ringside area. Kimberly rolls her eyes.

Kim: “Oh joy, here comes The House of Kool-Aid and their fearful leader who needs a charisma bypass surgery. How ya doin’ Jimmy Jones?”

James: “Have fun while you can. But the end of the Underground is inevitable.”

Williams briefly exits the ring. Meanwhile James continues to lead his followers closely to the ringside area. Kim returns to the ring with what appears to be a water gun. She waves it around frantically.

Kim: “Ya won’t take me alive! Ya hear! Ya won’t take me alive!”

James: “You can’t win.”

Kim: “Then come and get me!”

James motions for the House of James to enter the ring. Lues enters first followed by Pain. Both get sprayed in the eyes and face by hot sauce. Mordred enters next but he meets the same fate. Harker manages to kick the gun away from Kim but she kicks him below the belt.

Sharper: “Kim trying to fight off all of the House of James! With that hot sauce loaded water gun.”

Knots: “It’s going to annoy them, but I don’t know about keeping them down!”

Before Kim can do any further damage, James sneaks up from behind and smashes her in the back with a steel chair, causing her to crumble to the mat. James then stands over her, placing the edge of the chair against the back of Kim’s neck. He leans down, whispering something to Kim. James prepares to do more damage but Cassie Wolfe returns to the ring wielding a chair of her own. James decides to live to fight another day, so he exits the ring and orders the rest of his followers, three of whom are still recovering from the hot sauce, to do the same.

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still for Konrad Raab & Asher Hayes vs. Twisted & Sadistic follows.

Sharper: “Main event tonight. Twisted & Sadistic faces Konrad Raab and Asher Hayes. Can Hayes and Raab work together?”

Knots: “And what about Kandis?”

Sharper: “It’s all next!”

The scene fades to black.

Asher Hayes & Konrad Raab vs. Twisted & Sadistic

The opening riff to “Best of Both Worlds” by Van Halen begins to play. Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan emerge from behind the curtain simultaneously. The fans cheer while Glory goes from one end of the stage to the other, playing to the crowd and getting them into it. Lohan, meanwhile, continues her march to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening! First, on their way to the ring, they are the team of Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan, Twisted & Sadistic!”

“Something reached out and touched me
Now I know all I want
I want the best of both worlds
And honey I know what it's worth
If we could have the best of both worlds
We'd have Heaven right here on Earth”

Braddock springs towards the ring, catching up with Lohan in time to slide in just barely ahead of her underneath the bottom rope. Lohan enters the ring the traditional way. Brittany remains stoic in the center of the ring while Glory again plays to the crowd, going to each of the four corners and raising her arms high in the air, drawing cheers from the fans. Braddock then rejoins Lohan in the center of the ring as the music dies down.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan going to have a unique challenge here in our main event tonight. But they’re also looking forward to Under Attack-“

Knots: “How’s Holly think of this?”

Sharper: “Oh God…”

We cut to a clearly green-screened shot of Holly Adams in the luxury box doing her pageant wave. The camera cut continues, leading Holly to just look like a giant woman in the crowd before abruptly being removed from the screen. “Feuer Frei” by Rammstein plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain with his flanged German mace with him, acting erratic with an angry look on his face, rising the flanged German mace in the air, wearing red and black skull face paint on the right side of his face with a red and black suit hoodie over his head he wears with pieces of flame blood designed all over them. He also has a penguin, walrus and a polar bear stitching on the left-hand side of his chest on his gear, stating Stop Climate Change. He also wears black boots along with Red and Black Gloves on his hands. Ginny Raab walks out behind him. Raab crouches down on the floor with the flanged German mace in front of him, looking at the ring with evil intentions.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, from Cologne, Germany, accompanied by Ginny Raab, he is Burned in Blood, Konrad Raab!”

After the announcement, Konrad picks up his flanged German mace and slowly walks to the ring with a massive amount of boos. Konrad runs up the steps and goes underneath the ropes, while Ginny walks up the stairs and gets in the ring with Konrad. As he's in the ring, Konrad, without showing any sign of acknowledgement from the fans, lays the flanged German mace on the turnbuckle, then sits in the corner of the ring with the crowd booing him, having a nasty look in his eyes, flicking his fists as if he's already ready to fight, with Ginny taking Konrad's flanged German mace away, waiting for the match to start as he takes his hoodie off from his head as Ginny leaves the ring and goes backstage.

Sharper: “Konrad, we saw earlier, coming out with Asher Hayes. They seem to have their agreement. But that agreement is for Kandis. This is very different.”

Knots: “It is, but come on. Why wreck it. They’re so close. Asher as champion; Konrad to take out Kandis. So close!”

The opening riff to "Smooth Sailing" by Queens of the Stone Age kicks in. At the 11 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the PA system, and Asher appears on the stage, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses. Ginny walks past him.

“It's all in motion, no stoppin' it now
I got nothing to lose and only one way up
I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirage
All visions of collisions, fucking bon voyage"

He makes his way down the ramp as the reaction of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, slinging the jacket off his shoulders, simply looking at the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side.

Phillips: “And finally, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Asher Hayes!”

“I got bruises and hickies, stitches and scars
Got my own theme music, plays wherever I are
Fear is the hand that pulls your strings
A useless toy, pitiful plaything
I'm in flagrante
In every way
Every day"

He stands, once again, on the top rope. He removes his shades as he looks toward the ceiling, before dropping down, removing his jacket and handing his belongings to the ref.

"It's all smooth sailing
From here on out
I'm gon' do the damage
That needs getting done"

Asher then leans into the corner, waiting for the match to begin. Konrad and him talk a bit. Glory and Brittany look across at them.

Sharper: “Konrad, or more specifically, his European Fiery Nation already had a war with Twisted & Sadistic.”

Knots: “Let’s see Konrad take it that way.”

Sharper: “I doubt CHBK is going to let that happen. Asher Hayes and him likely don’t want an injury.”

Knots: “Konrad doesn’t care. I’m sure if he showed up with no legs, he’d still try to get his hands on Kandis!”

The bell sounds. Konrad exits as Asher glances at him. Glory stays in for Twisted & Sadistic. Glory and Hayes look at one another as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “And these two former rivals starting it out. Glory and Asher.”

Knots: “A bit different tonight!”

Glory and Asher nod before they lunge at one another and Glory goes for a chop. Asher ducks and both spin around. Asher takes Glory down with a headlock takedown. Glory counters with a headscissors. Asher nips out. Both get up and Glory hits a headlock takedown. Asher counters with a headscissors of his own. Glory goes to nip out, but Hayes keeps it on. Glory turns and moves to be on her feet, head still trapped. She pushes down, getting the leverage to release the hold and dives forward into a side headlock. Hayes starts to get up and to his feet and pulls Glory to the ropes. He fires her off. Glory bounces off and Hayes steps up and shoulders her down. He runs into the ropes. Glory drops down in front of Hayes. Hayes somersaults over and gets to his feet. He turns and runs at Glory and Glory hits a drop toe hold and moves over to Hayes’s arm. Hayes pulls away and slaps at Glory, getting some distance and moving back as Glory stands up.

Sharper: “Hayes keeping Glory off of him. Glory Braddock going for the arm.”

Knots: “Hayes making it annoying for her to keep on him too.”

Glory looks on as Hayes gets up. Hayes then lunges at Glory, before Glory grabs his head. She rolls through and gets him down. Hayes slides the head out and Glory then slides forward. She gets up and Hayes rolls over and Glory chops him. The crowd woos. She forearms him in the jaw. Asher falls to the ropes. Glory goes to whip him across. Hayes bounces off and Glory jumps up and hits a jumping back elbow. She turns and goes for the pin.

Hayes kicks out. Both get up and Glory goes to swing, but Hayes drops down and hits a single leg takedown and goes for the pin.

Glory kicks out. Both get up and Hayes kicks her in the ribs. He then drags her over to Konrad and holds her up. The crowd boos as Raab tags in. Raab steps in, measures Glory and punches her in the stomach. Glory staggers out as Hayes exits. Raab then pushes her against the ropes and clubs her across the chest.

Sharper: “Raab in and a different style Glory will need to deal with.”

Knots: “Just a bit. Hayes will try to wrestle. Raab will try to see how he can crack your skull open.”

Raab clubs her again. He whips her across the ring. Braddock bounces off and Raab lunges and hits a European uppercut. Glory hits the mat. Raab goes for the pin.

Braddock kicks out. She rolls over and starts to get up and Raab grabs her by the head. Raab whips Braddock into the neutral corner. Raab runs at her. Braddock gets her boot up. Raab staggers out. Braddock then watches him and runs at him and past him, grabbing his head and hitting a running neckbreaker. Braddock rolls over and turns and tags in Lohan. Lohan enters as Raab gets up and Lohan forearms him in the jaw once and then again and again.

Sharper: “And here comes Lohan. Hard forearms.”

Knots: “Who is going to seal the other’s eye shut? Holly! Any suggestions?”

Sharper: “Don’t cut to her!”

Lohan whips Konrad across. He bounces off and Lohan clotheslines her down. Konrad rolls over and gets up and Lohan kicks him in the ribs and then whips him again into the ropes. Konrad bounces off and again Lohan clotheslines her down. Raab starts to get up and Lohan grabs him by the head, but Raab blocks her and hits a jawbreaker. Lohan staggers back into the corner. Raab gets up and lunges at her and hits a European uppercut. Lohan snaps back. Raab then pulls her out and hits a running facebuster. He goes for the pin.

Lohan kicks out. She rolls over and gets up and Raab grabs her and drags her over to Hayes. Hayes says something to Raab and Raab then spins around Lohan for a German suplex. Lohan, however, blocks it and elbows Raab in the jaw once and then again. She turns and nails Hayes with a forearm shot. He drops to the floor. Lohan then turns as Raab steps up and Lohan scoops him up and hits a fall forward slam.

Sharper: “Lohan just muscling Raab up. Raab wanted to tag in Hayes. Hayes wanted him to suplex her over first and it backfired!”

Knots: “Hayes is just trying to get the strategy together. Raab’s sometimes a blunt instrument! You know that!”

Sharper: “And Lohan turns it around and now dragging Raab across by the arm.”

Knots: “Like a cavewoman taking her kill back for the family to feast!”

Lohan drags Raab across the ring and Raab turns and stops and Lohan stomps him in the head. She stomps him again and then drags him up and tags in Braddock. Braddock climbs to the top as Lohan hoists Raab up and spinebusters him. Braddock dives off with the London Plunge. Braddock goes for the pin.

Raab gets his shoulder up. Hayes calmly pulls himself onto the apron. Braddock turns and grabs Raab and turns him over by the arm and then nails him in the back of the head with an elbow drop before hitting another elbow drop. Raab rolls away and starts to get up. Braddock kicks him in the ribs and then runs into the ropes. Raab steps up and goes for a clothesline. Braddock ducks and jumps to the middle rope before turning back and hitting a dropkick. Raab hits the mat. Braddock then turns and tags in Lohan. Lohan enters and grabs Braddock and presses her over her head and drops her on Raab. Lohan goes for the pin as Braddock moves forward and guards.

Raab gets his shoulder up again. Hayes looks on. Braddock exits. Lohan grabs Raab.

Sharper: “Hayes made no effort to get involved.”

Knots: “He trusts Raab!”

Sharper: “Maybe. But we also know where Hayes’s attention really is. The World title.”

Lohan runs Raab into the neutral corner. She nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Lohan grabs him and whips him across the ring. Lohan runs after and clotheslines him in the jaw. Lohan backs up as Raab staggers out. Lohan runs into the ropes, bouncing off and Raab ducks a clothesline before handspringing into the ropes and jumping up and catching Lohan with the Fire Storm. Raab rolls over and Hayes gets Raab’s attention, asking for the tag, now extending his arm. Raab turns and moves to him and tags him in. Raab looks at Hayes as Hayes then enters as Lohan starts to slowly get up, holding her jaw and Hayes grabs her by the head and hits a snap DDT. Hayes points to Glory as Raab gets up and Hayes hooks the leg.

Lohan pushes him off. Raab steps up as Glory steps in but stops. Hayes turns and mounts Lohan, hammering away on him over and over again.

Sharper: “And Hayes now hammering away on Lohan.”

Knots: “There you go. Keep her down. Just keep hammering.”

Raab exits to the apron as Hayes gets up and walks around the ring. Lohan stirs and Hayes then steps toward her only to then turn and run at Glory and nail her with a hard shot. Hayes smirks and turns around and runs at Lohan and hits a spinning lariat. He goes for another pin.

Lohan gets her shoulder up. Hayes then turns and grabs Lohan and drags her over and tags in Raab. Raab enters and Hayes says something to him and he then nails Lohan with a hard right and then another and another before throwing her through the ropes to the floor. Raab exits to the floor after her. (1) Hayes moves to the apron, holding his arms up as Raab then stomps Lohan in the face and then the side and then the head again.(2) Braddock then runs along the apron and spins around the ringpost. She turns and runs at Raab and hits a somersault dive. Hayes looks down at him and points. (3) Lohan rolls over as Braddock gets up and Demitra tells her to get away. Hayes then drops down to the floor and runs over to Lohan as she gets up and hits a running boot to the head. He walks past, patting Raab on the back as he stirs. He then climbs up the steps and back to his spot on the apron. Demitra turns back as the crowd boos. Raab grabs Lohan.

Sharper: “Hayes getting involved there after Braddock just tried to run over Raab!”

Knots: “Trying to help Lohan. But in the process, Lohan may have gotten the worse of it. Hayes got a great shot in there.”

Raab throws Lohan into the barricade. (4) Lohan turns as Raab nails her over and over, with Lohan goading Raab. Just then, we hear a loud crack as the camera turns to show Glory dropping to the apron, Holly Adams standing behind her, on the ground, with a steel chair.

Sharper: “What the hell was that?”

Knots: “Oh look! Holly is here! She came! Glory wanted her to!”

Sharper: “Come on! A chair!”

Holly quickly looks around and rolls under the ring as Demitra turns and looks around. Hayes spins around the ringpost and enters the ring, getting Demitra’s attention back. Lohan then forearms Raab once and then again before rolling him back in. Hayes then turns to boot Lohan, but Lohan blocks it and shoves him back. Raab gets up and staggers over. Hayes tags in as Lohan slides in and grabs Raab and nails him with a hard right. Holly climbs out from under the ring and looks around as Glory remains down. Holly looks around as Xander storms out from the back. The crowd roars as Holly looks up and her eyes widen. Holly turns and runs around the ring as Xander now picks up the pace. Holly climbs over the barricade and we see Cidnay moving to her, and they run through the crowd. We then cut to a shot of Holly Adams’ head on Taylor Swift’s body from a recent Kansas City Chiefs’ game, with Taylor cheering. Back in the ring, Lohan turns and knocks Raab down before Hayes runs at Lohan and catches her in the side with the Dust to Dust. The crowd boos as Hayes rolls her over and hooks the leg.

The crowd boos as the bell sounds. Holly runs through the crowd with Cidnay, as Xander climbs over and stalks after her.

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

Sharper: “Hayes and Raab just overwhelm Lohan as Braddock still down from that Holly Adams chair shot.”

Knots: “What shot? I saw nothing. Holly was just there! She was framed!”

Sharper: “And she’s running for her life as Xander Valentine is chasing after!”

Hayes gets up and smiles as he has his arm raised. Raab does too before the crowd erupts in cheers as Kandis steps out from the back and throws her leather coat before running to the ring. She makes her way down and Raab turns and smiles as Hayes rolls out of the ring. Kandis enters and rushes Raab, managing to take him down with a double leg takedown. The crowd erupts as Kandis hammers away on Raab.

Sharper: “And here comes Kandis!”

Raab covers up briefly as Kandis gets some shots in. Raab pushes her off. Hayes walks around the ring and to the rampway. Kandis turns and sees him and points at him. Raab runs over and clubs her from behind. He nails her again and again. He then grabs her and drags her to the middle of the ring. Hayes just smirks as he backs up the rampway. He turns and heads to the back. He gets to the top of the stage as Raab attempts a German suplex on Kandis. Hayes turns back and watches before Kandis elbows out of it. Raab staggers and Kandis turns and hits the Starmaker. The crowd erupts in cheers. Kandis walks around a bit and turns to the stage. Hayes just looks at her and turns, rolling his eyes before walking right into Simon Lyman and a Leading the Revolution superkick on the stage. Hayes drops as Lyman looks down at him and then looks at Kandis. Kandis just scoffs.

Sharper: “Kandis drops Raab! And Lyman! Lyman drops Hayes!”

Knots: “And all of that is nice…but you have to climb the ladder. To get through the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs at Under Attack!”

Sharper: “Raab, Hayes, Lyman and Kandis, TLC Match, Under Attack, ten days!”

Kandis and Lyman look at one another as the scene fades to black…
