“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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “We are just four days away from Clarity this Sunday on Pay Per View where the World Title and World Tag Team Championship will be on the line in matches that will certainly clear the deck!”

The cameras continue to pan before fading to ringside where we see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

Sharper: “And we know we’re going to be seeing a lot play out tonight. A lot of controversy in SCW. But we have some of it to discuss. We’re going to be showing you a lot of video footage. First off, later tonight, we will be showing you the footage that shows James Evans as the apparently, alleged culprit of the sabotaging of the Chamber. But also, we’ve got something to talk about with the World Tag Team Championship.”

Knots: “Sharper, slow down. You haven’t even told the world who the hell we are. And they should know who I am. But you…you need to remember to stay relevant!”

Sharper: “Thanks Jon. I’m Adam Sharper, here with Jonathan Knots-“

Knots: “Great. Now, my contractual demands are met! But we had new tag champs last Friday and then again on Saturday!”

Sharper: “That’s right. We’re going to show some footage. SCW has been asking fans in attendance in both Savannah and Augusta, Georgia for any footage they have. And we have this. So first, in Savannah, at our live event on Friday night…”

LAST FRIDAY – SCW LIVE EVENT, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA:

We see a shaky image of a cell phone video that shows Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson in the ring, the video from the upper bowl.

Autumn: “So who wants a shot at this!”

Autumn holds the SCW World Tag Team Championship up. Before she can even finish…

"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall NEVER surrender!"

The video suddenly burns away to reveal a second hidden image of the devious ex-president George H. W. Bush giving a speech of his own...

"When we are successful, and we will be, we'll have a real chance at this new world order..."

“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to erupt into a sea of boos as they know who is about to make their presence felt.

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson have been having an open challenge at live events. They’ve faced some teams like Twin Magic, like the Trueloves, but they’ve gotten past still holding the titles.”

Knots: “But now look at this. Before they even finish, Infamous was out there.”

Sharper: “Infamous answered the challenge and then you see here, the closing moments of the match.”

The crowd roars as several people can be seen standing up as Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews walk out from the back. The scene changes to another fan’s phone to show Autumn going for clothesline as Ryan Watson rolls to the floor. Ravyn can’t be seen, presuming that she was knocked down before Autumn is rolled up by Christy Matthews in an Okana roll.

The crowd roars as the sound is muffled.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, and NEW SCW World Tag Team Champions, Christy Matthews and Ravyn Taylor, Infamous!”

We then see Christy look up and smile. She pumps her fist as she gets up. Autumn looks around before Christy Matthews turns to the referee, demanding the title. We see the referee being handed the Tag Team Championship belts. The crowd booing now can be heard.

Fan: “They won the titles? The [bleep]?”

Fan 2: “Holy sh[bleep]!”

Fan 3: “It’s bulls[bleep]!”

Christy can be seen holding both Tag Team Championship belts, celebrating herself, pure glee on her face. The camera turns to show Ryan Watson looking in the ring, not impressed.

Sharper: “You can see Ryan Watson not happy, but the glee on the face of Christy Matthews.”

Knots: “Christy rolling up Autumn. Almost like they had it planned?”

Sharper: “We took a look, they competed for roughly twelve minutes before that point. So it may have been legitimate to start. We don’t know-“

Knots: “You can’t believe that. What about what happened in Augusta?”

Sharper: “Well let’s take a look. Thank you to the fans who gave us footage.”

LAST SATURDAY – SCW LIVE EVENT, AUGUSTA, GEORGIA:

Christy Matthews can be seen in the ring with Ravyn Taylor. Both are wearing the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts. Across from them is Autumn Valentine with Ryan Watson leaning on the ropes. The video is taken from the floor, showing some fans in front of them.

Christy: “Autumn…I’ll happily give you the rematch. Because at the end of the day, we are the best tag team. And you, well, deserve a rematch.”

Ravyn smirks. The video switches to show a shot from a fan on the other side of the ring. We see Christy stretching on the ropes as the bell sounds. She then steps forward as Autumn walks out too. The two then lock-up in the middle of the ring. The crowd can be seen making noise before Autumn ducks down and spins through into a school boy into a pin. She pulls on the tights.

1!

2!

3!

Christy kicks out after three and looks around. The crowd roars before moving.

Phillips: “Here are your winners and NEW SCW World Tag Team Champions, Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson!”

The crowd starts to cheer while Ravyn has a look of shock. The camera focuses on them as Ryan Watson steps into the ring and smirks a bit.

Sharper: “It was a quick match. Autumn pulled on the tights. Immediately pinning Christy.”

Knots: “Do you honestly believe they were stunned?! It was a ruse!”

Sharper: “It may be. Something looks off. But regardless, Christy Matthews who never won the Tag Team Championship with Order of Chaos, she has as part of Infamous. She finally got what she has wanted from Infamous for sixteen months.”

Knots: “Notice that when she started to get more and more upset, now this has happened…give me a break!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Just then, “Look What You Made Me Do” by Taylor Swift plays as we see Kimberly Williams walk out from the back. Her leather jacket sits over her shoulders, her hands tuck in the cuffs, before she doesn’t even pose, just storming down the rampway to the ring.

Sharper: “And looks like it won’t be Infamous or Zero Effs who are going to clear things up, Kimberly Williams who has a lot on her mind.”

Knots: “She tried to maim Christy Matthews last week!”

Kim walks over to the ring and grabs the middle rope and pulls herself up onto the apron and then stepping into the ring. She storms across the ring and leans through the ropes.

Kim: “Give me a damn mic!”

Phillips nearly slips, before handing her a microphone. Kim takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. Her music fades out as Kim looks around.

Kim: “You know, a few people here in SCW, know exactly what I’m capable of, but I think Christy may have gotten the hint. Because a lot of things happened last week, and I’m pissed off about all of them.”

Kim paces a bit as she looks to the camera.

Kim: “What? Want me to make a joke? Talk about stabby, stabby, stabby. Where the staple gun, Kim? Right now, Christy, you need to know something. You went after the only person in my life that MATTERS.”

Kim looks at the cameraman on the apron before walking over to it, making sure it’s focused on her, acting innocent.

Kim: “Oh, did I cross a line last week? When I dragged you to this ring and planned to have a little fun at YOUR expense?”

Kim smiles widely, looking right at the camera. She then suddenly turns to a starkly serious look.

Kim: “You crossed a line when you tried to end Marie’s career by planting her on the floor over there. You’re lucky she’s cleared. You’re lucky she’s still by my side because at least then I’m a bit more controlled. But you also know how close you were last week to spending the rest of your days with your child. All of the bitching about being a mother on the road that you did a few months ago. I could’ve solved that!”

Kim smiles.

Kim: “But then you pulled what we just saw. I don’t care if it was planned, thought up that night, or whether you and Autumn got together and planned the whole thing. I don’t care. I just know that you’re scared of me. You knew you didn’t have much time left to hold that title.”

Kim backs up and looks around. The crowd roars, as Kim takes a moment to draw in from her surroundings. She then turns back to the camera.

Kim: “Christy…I hope all of this was worth it. Because I am going to show everyone why you don’t take something that matters away from me…We have a ladder match for those same titles you wanted nothing more than to hold them. I hope there’s a chance where you and I meet in that ring this Sunday….because Christy, I plan to make you BEG for my forgiveness! And then, Marie and I are going to win those titles back.”

Kim drops the microphone. She backs away as “Look What You Made Me Do” starts to play again. She then looks around before turning and dropping down to the mat and rolls to the floor. She then starts to walk up the rampway.

Sharper: “Kim Williams sees this all as personal.”

Knots: “Marie Jones is her balance. And Christy threatened to throw that all out!”

Sharper: “And now World Tag Team Titles on the line, this Sunday, ladder match…I hazard to think what Christy will make Kim Williams do!”

Knots: “And the tag titles are on the line in the middle of it all.”

Sharper: “I’ll be curious what Christy will have to say. We know we’ll hear from Infamous, from Jake Starr and Jordan Majors, from the Jackass and Big Ass Connection, and of course, the World Tag Team Champions, Zero You Know Whats to Give.”

Kim Williams continues to head up the rampway, the camera following her before the scene cuts backstage.

Backstage, Ryan Watson walks over to Autumn Valentine.

Ryan: “Ya still happy ‘bout e’rething?”

Autumn: “It gave her something. I’m not going to say I’m not happy about making someone I used to see as everything something they deserved.”

Ryan: “Well I hate it all. Feels like I smell like shame.”

Autumn: “Relax. It’s done. The opportunity was there to do it and we did it.”

Ryan: “Yeah…this time…ya know my issues with them-“

Autumn: “We aren’t part of them. We’re our own thing. Not looking to start a partnership. It’s done.”

Ryan: “Good…because while we got this Zero Effs thing, I do care about that.”

Autumn: “I know. It’s why I asked you do it. Take care of it. Nip it in the bud or its something being held over us.”

Ryan: “Better be done. If not…I’ll be punchin’ CHBK a few more times fer fun!”

The crowd roars as Ryan turns and heads off toward his bags as Autumn watches him before the scene cuts away.

Kelsai Adamson-Mason vs. Gigi Steward

“Remember the Name” by Fort Minor plays throughout the arena as the crowd cheers some. Kelsai Adamson-Mason walks out from the back smiling widely and looks around as Amy Chastaine walks out with her and stands with her. Kelsai looks out and takes a deep breath as she then starts to head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a fifteen minute time limit, is for the SCW Television Championship and is your main event of the evening. First, the challenger, accompanied by Amy Chastaine, from Seattle, Washington, she is Kelsai Adamson-Mason!”

Getting to the ring, Kelsai jumps from the floor to the ring apron before she steps through the ropes, reveals her simple all white attire, and goes to her corner. She puts on her smile, waving a bit before she gets ready for her match. Amy Chastaine walks around and goes to her corner.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason back in the ring after several months away. She’s ready to compete and get back to where she was.”

Knots: “Came off a hell of a match at Rise to Greatness weekend, nearly defeating Peyton Rice, but not quite. Now has to rebuild some of that momentum. People saw her as a rising star, well, gotta build it back up!”

“Supreme” plays throughout the arena as the stage and video screen goes dark. Gigi’s video plays on the screen and she steps out on to the stage wearing a black leather with tiny metal spikes on it and also a bandana covering her face. She walks up to the center of the stage and stretches her arms out embracing the fans acting like they support her as they boo her.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Los Angeles, California, she is the Princess of Wrestling, Gigi Steward!”

She begins her march to the walk to the ring walking with a purpose. She gets to ringside and rushes into the ring rolling inside. She marches to the corner and hops on the middle ropes and throws out her own hand sign to the fans. She then rips off the bandana and tosses it into the crowd. Gigi hops off the ropes and takes off her jacket setting it aside for ring crew to pick up and she gets ready for her match.

Sharper: “Gigi Steward meanwhile looking to get back on track in singles competition. The Stewards making waves returning and immediately with a bit of a more aggressive attitude.”

Knots: “Taking what they believe they deserve. Hell! Katie Steward is challenging for the US Championship this Sunday. Got right in there, convincing Bree to accept it and Rachel Tatum Lee is pissed!”

Sharper: “Rachel Tatum Lee defeated Katie Steward a couple of weeks ago. But Sasha meanwhile has given Rachel her path, and not only that, perhaps wanting to make sure Rachel is back. Katie’s been competing regularly for years. Rachel Tatum Lee was off for quite some time.”

The bell sounds. Kelsai and Gigi size each other up before they step up and lunge at one another, locking up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Gigi turns into an arm wringer. Kelsai winces. Gigi then wrenches the arm again and moves into a side headlock. She pulls back. Kelsai drags her back to the ropes and fires her off. Gigi bounces off and Kelsai steps up, but Gigi shoulders her down. Gigi then looks at her and smiles before running into the ropes. Kelsai rolls toward her. Gigi hops over and bounces off the other side. Kelsai gets up and hits a leapfrog. Gigi ducks under and runs into the opposite ropes again. She bounces off and Kelsai jumps up and hits a dropkick. The crowd roars. Gigi pops up, holding her jaw. She moves over to the corner. Kelsai moves after and kicks her in the ribs.

Sharper: “Kelsai with a beautiful dropkick. Caught Gigi in the jaw!”

Knots: “Gigi’s still trying to count her teeth.”

Sharper: “Kelsai now right on Gigi. Not holding up. Showing some good aggression.”

Knots: “Taking a page out of Gigi’s book!”

Kelsai whips Gigi across the ring. Gigi hits the corner. Kelsai runs after and Gigi gets an elbow to the jaw. Kelsai stumbles back and Gigi runs out and jumps up, grabbing her arm and spinning through into an arm drag. Kelsai rolls through. Both get up and Gigi kicks Kelsai in the ribs and then whips her into the ropes. Kelsai bounces off and Gigi kicks her in the ribs sidesteps and hits a dropkick to the side of Kelsai’s head. She goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason catches Gigi Steward in the jaw.”

Knots: “Really doesn’t like her jaw. Over and over to the jaw.”

Sharper: “Good way to take your opponent down. Striking with intent.”

Gigi pops up and Kelsai forearms her in the jaw and goes to whip her into the ropes. Gigi bounces off and Kelsai nails her with a back elbow. Gigi hits the mat and rolls over to the floor. She takes a moment to get some distance. (1) She turns back to the ring and Kelsai runs at her and his a baseball slide. Gigi falls back into the barricade. Kelsai rolls to the floor.

Gigi backflips through. She jumps up and hits a backstabber. Kelsai rolls over, holding her lower back in pain. The crowd ohs and boos.

Sharper: “Gigi saw a moment! Backstabber!”

Knots: “Kelsai just found out why she may have enjoyed her time away. Chances are you’re not getting knees to your lower back while watching The Crown on Netflix.”

Gigi gets up as Kelsai rolls over, holding her lower back. She uses the ropes to pull herself up and Gigi comes over and pulls her back before hitting a school girl pin.

Kelsai has her arm raised in victory. Amy applauds her in the ring as Kelsai then steps up and moves to the corner and looks out and smiles. Her music plays in the background as the crowd continues to cheer her and the scene cuts backstage.

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage to our newest backstage correspondent, Jaina Lancaster!”

The scene switches backstage to see Jaina Lancaster standing with Bree Lancaster.

Jaina: “Thank you Adam. I am here with the SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster and Bree, there’s been a bit of controversy regarding the fact that Katie Steward is your next challenger-“

Bree: “I’m sorry to cut you off, as you’re doing a great job, but I should nip that in the bud. Am I Sasha?”

Jaina shakes her head.

Bree: “Exactly. She signed it. Take it up with her. I just want legitimate competition. So they all happen to be Hall of Famers since Rise to Greatness. That just makes it that much more special. And while Katie can have her planned return, and talk about how this will be her storybook ending, let her. I’m looking to hold onto this and I’m not letting it go. Jake Starr tried. Failed. Tommy Valentine tried. Still failed. Katie, not going to win either. All of this proving yet again, what I’ve said for the whole year…the only reason I’m not on my way to setting the longest US Championship reign is simple – I took pity on Selena Frost. Now she can go and run herself into a brick wall against Xander. I’ll keep setting, along with Sienna, a new standard for greatness. Sorry Katie, honey, that’s not you anymore. But that’s fine…you can pass the torch this Sunday. I’m looking forward to it.”

Jaina: “Thank you for your time, Bree.”

Bree smiles, turning to her niece.

Bree: “Good job, Jaina.”

Jaina smiles and takes a deep breath as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up in a darkened room with Aaron Blackbourne seated in the middle on a steel folding chair, the back in front of him, leaning on it with his arms folded.

Blackbourne: “Just like that….you move on…”

Above Blackbourne, a spark can be seen flash, first red, before turning into shades of purple. The colours swirl around as Blackbourne speaks, becoming redder and redder.

Blackbourne: “For so long, I have heard about the man who is Shilo Valiant. Many know him as a Hall of Famer. He was a champion. I saw him as something else…a beacon of creativity. No doubt he may have seen some of that in me…”

The spark suddenly explodes behind Blackbourne as Blackbourne looks up and at the camera.

Blackbourne: “When you walked out, and challenged me for the TV Championship…”

Behind Blackbourne, a shot of Valiant and Blackbourne standing across from one another is shown.

Blackbourne: “We fought, we traded holds, we felt each other out…and then you stepped out of the ring, seemingly having proven whatever you wanted and left. Then you even said that, and I quote, there’s something special there, referring to me.”

Blackbourne chuckles.

Blackbourne: “But then last week, I saw the other part some people point out about Shilo Valiant. Some would say its mind games. Others gamesmanship. But to many, it’s just unnecessary screwing and where Shilo would mess with someone, sending mixed messages to see how one reacts. Creative chaos if you will…”

Just then, several sparks pop up behind him, swirling around in a multitude of colours.

Blackbourne: “And in the process, I lost my Television Championship, ending my third reign with that title after only two weeks.”

Blackbourne sighs.

Blackbourne: “And then you turned around, left and said goodbye but not before calling me a fraud.”

Blackbourne takes a deep breath as the sparks all turn to red.

Blackbourne: “No, Shilo…just that I am human, with all the faults contained therein. So what changed in between the something special and my loss….one thing changed. You…You played your games and I fell for them. But now Shilo, this is where you can prove to me that YOU are not a fraud.”

Blackbourne looks up as a blue spark starts to swirl above Blackbourne.

Blackbourne: “That’s right. You can prove you’re not a fraud. You saw something in me and I showed it in the ring. But I also want to know what the hype is about. You’re still young. You’re still capable of competing. You showed that at God of Wrestling, even if you did not win. You felt it two weeks ago too. So at Clarity, I challenge YOU Shilo. Come to the ring, and this time, do not run. Do not turn around to patronize me by telling the world they should focus on me. Come to compete!”

Blackbourne then looks up at the camera.

Blackbourne: “You can entertain. I will prove to you that I am the most creative force in wrestling today. And you can prove to me that the comparisons between you and I that I hear in the back, that people made on commentary and so much more…this dream match…is apt. Because if you leave again, well, I know I’m not a coward. And well, I don’t want to be disappointed Shilo.”

The blue spark explodes above Blackbourne as Blackbourne gets up and walks off as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “Looks like Aaron Blackbourne has a lot of emotions about Shilo Valiant and trying to figure out whether he should be angry, honoured or disappointed.”

Knots: “Made it pretty easy to figure it out though. Shilo was just called out. Either he shows up this Sunday, or Blackbourne knows exactly that he’s nothing like Shilo.”

Sharper: “All comes back to one thing – are you a competitor? Aaron Blackbourne is.”

Backstage, we see Glory Braddock with Peyton Rice. The crowd cheers.

Peyton: “Again, thanks for coming out last week-“

Glory: “Peyton. Stop. You don’t need to thank me over and over. Clyde is, unfortunately, partially my fault.”

Peyton: “I know he was kicked out of your school, but he’s nothing like you.”

Glory: “Not just that. I…I helped him enter this company. I feel responsible for this. Now Alistaire is injured and-“

Peyton: “He doesn’t see it as your fault.”

Glory and Peyton look at one another.

Glory: “You and him really are getting close.”

Peyton: “He’s a good guy.”

Glory: “I’m finding that out myself. He’s not what I thought he was. And we’ve had some misunderstandings. But at least with Abigail and Clyde, there are no misunderstandings.”

Peyton: “Well I’m honoured to be standing alongside you. To wrestle alongside you. We get to stand up to the two of them.”

Glory: “And we’re going to kick their ass.”

Peyton laughs.

Peyton: “I can get behind that. For us…for Ali…for SCW.”

Glory: “Works for me.”

Glory and Peyton briefly high five as the scene switches again.

Sharper: “Good to see Glory Braddock and Peyton Rice trying to get on the same page. They’ll face Clyde Sutter and Abigail Lindsay this Sunday in tag action.”

Knots: “Two unique teams there.”

Sharper: “Now let’s go to Jessica Winters who is standing by with another tag team in SCW. Jessica?”

Backstage, Jessica Winters is standing with Maria Vencejo and Valeria Garcia at the SCW interview area.

Jessica: “Thanks Adam. I’m here with Las Bandidas de Gata Negra, Valeria Garcia and Maria and Vencejo and Maria, Valeria, you’ve been quietly letting people know you feel a bit slighted. It was announced that five teams would meet at Clarity to compete for the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Twin Magic, Infamous, Starr and Majors, The Jackass and Big Ass Connection and of course, the champions, Zero Effs to Give-“

Valeria: “Just stop there, Jessica. Name those teams again.”

Jessica: “Alright. Twin Magic, Infamous, Starr and Majors, The Jackass and Big Ass Connection-“

Valeria: “Stop there. We defeated them last week. That’s no slight to their skill. I understand why they’re in this match. They were the former tag team champions. Linked to the current Tag Team Champions and at least, they will still be champs until Clarity, ensuring no more shenanigans like what happened last weekend. For the record, neither of us care about the motivations there.”

Maria: “¿Por qué lo haríamos? Mira nuestros nombres!”

Valeria: “Exactly. See, we’re not going to stand here and suggest that we should be thrown into that match. On the contrary. Let them all compete. There are personal issues all over it. Instead, we merely think that we’ve been passed over when the Jackass and Big Ass Connection could step back up, righting their ways and walk out champion, the fact is that we proved them to be stumbling. We proved that FORMER Champions were stumbling. And so we have a simple proposition. We challenge the new Tag Team Champions for the first Breakdown after Clarity. Finish your issues, get your closure, take care of your rematches…I almost hope it is the Jackass and Big Ass Connection that walks away champions. Because then we can prove last week was not only not a fluke, but we can steal the World Tag Team Championship just like that.”

Jessica: “Well a challenge thrown down. It will be up to Sasha if she’ll sign the match, but we will find out. Much more to come her tonight on Breakdown. Don’t go anywhere.”

Jessica then turns to Vencejo and Garcia and thanks them before the scene fades to black.

Backstage, Selena Frost is shown walking through one of the hallways. She walks over to Sasha. The crowd cheers seeing both.

Selena: “Sasha, do you mind if I have a moment?”

Sasha turns from the person she was talking to.

Sasha: “Sure. What’s on your mind?”

Selena: “I need to hear it from you. Xander…”

Sasha: “He is back. I’ve booked the match. Arbitration gave us something we can all live with. Xander’s making restitution to the fans he went after-“

Selena: “So he learns nothing? Sorry if I’m not exactly thrilled, but I’m sure he’s got some money.”

Sasha: “Even still, he’s also got a governor. If he comes close to anything like that again, we have full cause to not only terminate him but it abrogates our agreement. The charges return. We gave him a second chance. Because whether you and I like it, he has a history of anger issues. Hell, half the roster does. It’s why SCW has so much put into providing mental health and psychiatric services.”

Selena sighs.

Selena: “You don’t buy his act, do you?”

Sasha: “I’m on the fence too, Selena-“

Selena: “I’m not on the fence. I think he’s a stain on professional wrestling and this is all an act. You don’t go that far…he attacked your father!”

Sasha: “And my father was in the room when the agreement was signed. We give second chances…it’s one thing I learned from my father. People can disagree and we’ll deal with the consequences. But for you, I think you need to focus on this Sunday ending this issue. Win or lose.”

Selena nods.

Selena: “Don’t worry there. Just be prepared in case he claims another knock out causes him to lose it again.”

Selena turns and walks off as Sasha watches her leave.

Sharper: “Pure hatred from Selena. We’ve never seen her this driven to make an example of someone.”

Knots: “Not even against Regan!”

Scarlet Grey vs. Max Kane

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

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

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

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

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

Max: “Still here. Still kicking. Banged up and all. The American Dream right?”

Max smiles a bit before it fades. Max grips the top turnbuckle, steeling himself for the match ahead.

Sharper: “Max Kane will have a unique challenge tonight.”

Knots: “Not exactly one that throwing yourself at it will help. Has to deal with Scarlet Grey who wants to get what’s hers.”

Sharper: “Max Kane meanwhile could just find himself in the middle of something else. Rachel Tatum Lee will be watching. No doubt about that. Scarlet Grey and Rachel Tatum Lee face this Sunday for a US Championship shot.”

“Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix)” begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down the ramp, putting every runway model in existence to shame without even actually trying.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Parts Unknown, she is Scarlet Grey!”

She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. Once she's in the ring she waits in the corner, eyes moving over to the referee with a look that's just begging for him to come over and 'inspect' her for foreign objects.

Sharper: “Scarlet Grey already playing it up.”

Knots: “Max Kane may just want to let her have her way. Scarlet may prefer it too. Wanting to focus on Rachel!”

The bell sounds. Scarlet steps up as Max looks at her and smirks. Scarlet then shows herself up. She does a brief spin too. She then motions for him to walk over. Max looks around as the crowd roars a bit. Scarlet smirks and Max walks over and looks at her before Scarlet suddenly rakes his eyes. The crowd boos. Scarlet nails him with a forearm shot. Kane falls to the ropes and Scarlet kicks him in the knee. Max winces. Scarlet then goes for his left ankle. Kane falls back into the corner. Scarlet kicks him in the ankle over and over again before backing up. She then stops and walks back over before leaning in. Kane looks at her. Scarlet bends over enough for Kane to get a good look at her cleavage before she goes for the leg, but Kane grabs her and pushes her back.

Sharper: “Scarlet going right for the leg. Kane’s had some injuries there before!”

Knots: “Before taunting him, or seducing him. I don’t know.”

Kane then steps out and runs over and grabs Scarlet and spins her into the ropes. She bounces off and Kane goes for a back elbow. Scarlet ducks and runs into the ropes. Kane then lifts her up and hits a back drop. The crowd roars. Scarlet rolls over and starts to get up and Kane runs at her and jumps up and hits a crossbody. He stays on her for the pin.

She tries to get the official’s attention, but Kane walks over and grabs her and whips her across the ring. Scarlet bounces off and Kane sidesteps and throws her over the top rope. Scarlet lands on her feet and falls into the announce table. Kane then turns and runs across the ring and bounces off the other side and then runs back across, going to hit a suicide dive through the ropes, but Scarlet dives out of the way and Kane goes through and falls to the floor before rolling hard into the announce table.

Knots: “Jesus!”

Sharper: “Kane missed! Landing hard! Right into the announce table too!”

Scarlet gets up. (1) She looks around and then runs over and stomps Kane in the back over and over. The crowd boos. (2) Kane rolls over. Scarlet then backs up and rolls into the ring.

Scarlet kicks out. Both get up and Max scoops her up and spins her around back to her feet before jumping forward and up and driving her down with a cutter.

Sharper: “Kane with his explosive offense. The jumping cutter! If that ankle is bothering him, he’s not showing it!”

Knots: “Probably too stupid to know it hurts!”

Scarlet rolls over as Max gets up. He turns and moves to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars, but Scarlet then manages to get up and runs over and falls into the ropes. Kane lands hard and flips into the ring. He holds himself as the crowd boos. Kane slowly starts to get up and Scarlet pulls him out and then drops him with a fall forward reverse DDT. She hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Kane went for the headbutt, but Scarlet Grey knew it was coming!”

Knots: “Had it scouted!”

Sharper: “She’s always been someone very aware of what’s going on.”

Knots: “But she may have hurt herself too while hurting Kane!”

Scarlet rolls over and moves to the ropes. She starts to pull herself up and Kane tries to shake it off as the official checks on him. Scarlet looks at the official and Kane before then running over and jumping up and hitting a double stomp to the head of Kane. Kane goes into the mat and rolls over to a seated position. Scarlet winces a bit and then turns and steps over, wrapping her legs around Kane’s arms and locking in the Fifty Shades of Grey! The crowd boos as Kane is half out of it. The referee is trying to check on him and Scarlet pulls on him. Kane just falls over as the referee calls for the bell. Scarlet keeps pulling back as the bell sounds. The official tells her to stop and she does rolling over and falling over to the ropes. The official then checks on Kane.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, as a result of a referee stoppage, Scarlet Grey!”

Sharper: “Scarlet Grey knocked Kane for a loop. The official tried to step in. Scarlet wouldn’t stop. Not going to lose a victory and the official had no choice!”

Knots: “Not like Kane’s going to tap out. He wouldn’t know if he’s getting hurt that bad!”

Sharper: “She’s also been eying the official the entire time…and wait a minute! He’s hurt! He’s checking on Kane!”

Scarlet gets up and walks over and pulls the official back. She then points to her arm. The official gets up and goes to check on Kane. Scarlet spins him around again and the official raises her arm. Scarlet smiles as the crowd boos before glaring the official as he goes back to check on Kane. Scarlet glares at him before backing away to the ropes and stepping through.

Sharper: “Scarlet wanted her arm raised, I guess.”

Knots: “She’s going to have a different kind of challenge this Sunday to get that happening at Clarity!”

Scarlet starts to head around the ring as we cut away.

Backstage, Ryan Watson walks down the hallway and then is stopped by Tommy who spins him around.

Ryan: “Oy-“

Tommy: “Don’t oy me…We all saw what happened last week.”

Ryan: “It was Autumn’s way ta end tha cloud ‘anging over our ‘eads.”

Tommy: “And since when did you care?”

Ryan: “I don’t. Autumn does. That matters mate.”

Tommy: “What about Kandis…what about our shot?”

Ryan: “Ya got it.”

Tommy: “You didn’t have to deal with both of us backstage who saw that go down and wonder if we’ll be waiting more! If Autumn can look out for her friends, you should look out for your damn student!”

Ryan: “Ya, ya-“

Ryan goes ot leave, but Tommy stops him.

Tommy: “Don’t walk away-“

Ryan: “No offense, but ya touch me again, I’ll pop ya like I did CHBK. Ya need to make sure ya good cause Kandis…she aint gonna climb the ladder. So Tommy…just like Autumn and I are gonna focus on ourselves. Focus on yerselves. Best team win, eh? Just like Rise ta Greatness. Wish Kandis luck fer me..”

Ryan turns and heads off as Tommy watches him leave and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural address.

“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is—”

There’s a record scratch before a deep voice fills the arena.

“INFAMOUS!”

The opening of “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up, we find Syren standing in the middle of the stage with CHBK. The crowd boos seeing them. Syren then starts to walk down to the ring with CHBK a few strides behind. The two walk down to the ringside area and Syren walks over to the steel steps. CHBK walks up the steel steps first and enters the ring. Syren then walks up and walks along the other side of the ring and steps into the ring. She walks across the ring, yelling at the crowd, as they boo her. CHBK walks over and is handed a microphone.

Sharper: “Syren has been wound since last week. She and Infamous attacking James Evans. Now, she will face James Evans at Clarity. But it’s just part of the equation.”

Knots: “Double Jeopardy match. While that match is going on, Sienna Swann and Owen Cruze will fight for the World Title. The winners will then continue to fight, to crown the World Champion!”

Sharper: “Again, the focus on clearing the deck. Just like with the Tag Titles, the World Championship situation, all of the controversy put into one match.”

Syren backs up and turns to CHBK as CHBK talks to her a moment before he hands her the microphone. She takes it and looks around. Her music fades out as the crowd boos her. She listens to it. Syren then scoffs.

Syren: “You’re going to boo me now, when in this case, I’ve done nothing wrong!”

The crowd boos louder.

Syren: “It was nice for some people to jump to conclusions…”

Syren turns and glares right at Jonathan Knots.

Knots: “I don’t know where I’d get the idea. Talking about plotting like it’s the middle of the God damned Cold War!”

Syren turns back to the crowd.

Syren: “But let’s show the proof…the proof that makes clear that James Evans is nothing more than a pathetic individual who knew that he’s not in MY league!”

Syren turns to the big screen as CHBK does too.

Syren: “Come on! Show it!”

BEFORE UNDER ATTACK:

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then cut to see a shot of the Chamber. We see some crew members running around, a few trying to map out where the Chamber should good. A few people head over to one corner to all help out in one situation. We then see a shot of someone wearing a SCW hoodie, a highlighting circle over the figure, starting to tamper at the area that broke away, pulling out a pair of cutters and trying to cut on the chain. They try to snap the chains before pulling harder and the hood slightly comes off, enough to show short brown hair. The video pauses as the figure turns to the hard camera enough to make out what looks to be James Evans.

Syren: “Who the hell does that look like? That’s right. Your big redemption story. Your big hero. The man who fought the Wonderland. He’s just a self-interested pathetic cheater.”

The crowd boos.

Knots: “That’s James…”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as we cut to the live shot again.

Syren: “I had nothing to do with it. That was ALL James Evans. He needed to cheat to get whatever he wanted. I don’t care what. All I know is that I was screwed. So everyone bitching about how I’m getting a rematch, I will give Sasha credit for one thing…she knows when she’s caught. She knows she needed to give me this opportunity and you know what…everyone’s talking about how I haven’t earned anything. I’m going to make this easy. At Clarity, I’m going to outwrestle James Evans and then whether it is Owen or Sienna, I don’t care. I’m winning MY World Championship back!”

“Style” by Taylor Swift then starts to play. The crowd boos some more. Syren turns to the entrance way. A few moments pass before Sienna Swann walks out from the back, holding the SCW World Championship over her shoulder, with Xiomara right behind her. The two then start to walk to the ring.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann had to have been listening and it looks like she’s not exactly thrilled.”

Knots: “I wonder why?”

Sienna Swann reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then stops as Xiomara pulls herself up onto the apron and then into the ring. She steps forward as Sienna then enters. Sienna steps forward, looking at Syren with a confident smirk. Xiomara continues to block Syren and CHBK as Sienna walks across and asks for a microphone. Phillips hands her one and she turns around.

Syren: “Well, Sienna, I can then tell you to your face.”

Sienna: “That you’re going to lose. The fact that you just said that you plan to outwrestle me is laughable when the fact is that I am better than you in every way and the last three times we’ve met with this title on the line, I won one, and the other two, you needed every one in the free world to help you!”

Syren: “You still can’t beat me one on one.”

Sienna: “Give me a break Syren. But you know what, that’s not even the most ridiculous and disrespectful thing about this. The fact that James Evans is in MY match…that’s not acceptable. He tried to end your career! He failed and for that, we are even more upset at James, but the fact is that someone like that should not be rewarded with a chance at this title!”

Syren scoffs and turns away.

Sienna: “But the only reason he is getting that shot is because of you and frankly, the fact that anyone with a brain figured you just did it yourself, well, maybe the shoe fits. See, Syren. That’s all you are. You are the conwoman and well, you should never hold this title ever again. And that’s what’s going to happen this Sunday. You may get close. I hope to hell you beat James Evans. I want him out of my match as soon as possible. I already know I’ll beat Calamity Cruze, but Syren, you can’t beat me.”

Syren: “Funny enough, we know one on one you can’t beat me. So where are we going with this? Because I’m happy to stand up against anyone in that ring because I know I am better than all of you.”

Sienna: “Easy…I want James out of the match. I want you out of the match. Neither of you deserve this shot. You got screwed? Oh…sorry…well, you screwed me TWICE this year. Life’s not fair…but it finally is at least just when it comes to me and who is holding this title. I am back on top and it is going to stay that way and trust me Syren…I have people in my corner this time that will make sure of it.”

Sienna steps forward as Xiomara steps forward too. Syren smirks before turning to Xiomara and then Sienna.

Syren: “Don’t threaten when you know that when push comes to shove, I will do anything to walk out Champion. I’ve proven it twice AGAINST you, Sienna!”

Syren and CHBK then step up.

Syren: “And Sienna, my member of the Cannon family actually can be in the arena.”

Sienna leans forward only for Xiomara to nudge her a bit to stop. The two sides look at one another, right in each other’s faces before we see Sasha walking out from the back. The crowd cheers a bit.

Sasha: “Ladies…ladies…”

Sienna steps back and looks over to the stage as Syren looks at her too.

Sienna: “How are you going to screw this up?”

Syren: “Leave this us!”

Sasha: “No, I’m not…because you both have made clear one problem that I really need to address and a couple of others I think need to be as well. Because, given that both of you have your managers, bodyguards…and lord knows both of you will use them to your advantage. I want to make sure that this Sunday, whoever walks out World Champion, deserves it!”

Sasha pauses.

Sasha: “I’m sick of the controversy. So this Sunday, it’s going to be simple. On one hand, whoever wins Double Jeopardy will be World Champion. But I will not be entertaining any more rematches. We’re clearing the deck in that regard.”

The crowd roars.

Syren: “Fine by me. I’ll be walking out champion!”

Sienna: “Please!”

Sasha: “But that’s not all. I’ve thought about the best way to deal with it. But the fact is that something always comes up. I could ban everyone from ringside, but we saw that at Taking Hold of the Flame and it only led to more controversy. Add that the losers in the Double Jeopardy match are welcome to stay at ringside per the rules, well….it’s led me to the following. I am going to allow the SCW roster to restore order. While Owen and Sienna, and Syren and James face off, and in the follow-up match, we will also see the SCW roster act as lumberjacks and make sure that the CHBKs, the Xiomaras, the masked men and women, and whoever else will be stopped!”

Sharper: “The roster is going to police this!”

Sasha: “And we will determine who will walk into the End of the Year Special as World Champion!”

The crowd cheers as Syren looks at CHBK while Sienna steps back, annoyed.

Knots: “The roster is going to police it. They’re going to be allowed at ringside as lumberjacks!”

Sharper: “A lot of people have issues with everyone in the match. Oh boy, this just got even more interesting! And neither Sienna or Syren are happy about it!”

Sienna turns to the ropes as Xiomara talks to Sienna as Syren looks around annoyed as Sasha returns to the back. The crowd continues to cheer before we cut away.

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage where Jessica Winters is standing with Katie Steward. Jessica?”

Backstage, Katie Steward is with Jessica Winters in front of the Steward locker room.

Jessica: “Thank you Adam. Katie, you’re back in SCW and find yourself in US championship contention already-“

Katie: “Why is that shocking? Have you met me? I am pretty special and well, it’s just an opportunity to remind everyone of a different level of greatness. SCW has done a wonderful job of allowing everyone to forget what I can do, with fake angels, people like Bree running around, and the disrespect of rewrite ruining my perfect send off to the ingrate Donovan Kayl. But it can all be made good when I win the US Championship.”

Jessica: “What about the fact that some people have taken issue to you getting a shot before Rachel Tatum Lee who defeated you a couple of weeks ago?”

Katie looks stunned.

Katie: “How dare you?! That was charity! Helping her get a win. I’m a hero, helping people with their self-image! She’s now a winner now. She can be happy with that. Some people need the boost. But now, the SCW needs to have me as champion. They will it. They command it. And I will deliver it!”

The crowd boos. Katie walks off as Jessica shakes her head.

Jessica: “We’ll find out this Sunday, live on pay per view, at Clarity.”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, Glory Braddock is walking backstage and then is stopped by Clyde Sutter. Glory stops and brings her hand up to punch him.

Clyde: “C’mon…ya gonna blast me.”

Glory: “I should. Where’s your handler?”

Clyde: “Taking a leak. We gotta talk.”

Glory: “No we don’t-“

Glory goes to walk off, but Clyde extends his arm to stop her.

Clyde: “We do. I know ya want the World Title and now you’re playing goody-two-shoes. Please…ya don’t play that and think about workin’ with the blonde trollop just for the hell of it.”

Glory: “What’s your point?”

Clyde: “We help each other. I mean, I do owe you everything.”

Glory: “Stop with that. I regret all of it.”

Clyde: “Even if I help you win the World Title in SCW.”

Glory stops and looks at him.

Glory: “I don’t need your help. Now get out of my face or Abigail Lindsay will be facing Peyton and me by herself.”

Clyde smirks.

Clyde: “Can’t have that. I wanna see what the little Pretty girl is gonna try for revenge.”

Glory turns and pushes him out of her way before walking past. Clyde chuckles a bit as we cut away.

Kandis vs. Kimberly Williams

The opening bass of "Baby Got Back" begins and Kandis steps out from the curtain, a sway in her step. The music cuts to a remixed version of the chorus, with added bass, and Kandis turns around to wiggle her bountiful rear end. Some of the males in the crowd cheer as Kandis turns back and starts down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from West Hollywood, California, she is Kandis!”

When Kandis gets to the ring steps, the line skips in the remix:

"My anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon!"

Kandis shakes her hips in time to the words, then steps through the ropes and slaps her ass right at the whip sound. The bass line continues as Kandis bounces on her feet a little, shaking all of her assets.

Sharper: “Kandis about to compete in singles action with Kimberly Williams, stemming from last week. The tag division heating up.”

Knots: “Is Kandis ready for this? Kim is on another level. She’s driven by pure hate. We heard her earlier.”

The opening chords of Look What You Made Me Do begin to play.  Kimberly Williams steps out onto the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans.  A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, The Wild Card, Kimberly Williams!”

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 seems rather normal…I don’t get it.”

Knots: “It’s Kim. There’s a lot hard to figure out. She’s always geared a different way.”

The bell sounds. Kim and Kandis look at one another. They then lunge at one another and Kim goes for a kick to the ribs. The crowd roars as she then forearms Kandis in the jaw and then spins her around and into the corner. Kim then grabs kicks her in the ribs once and then again. The referee calls for the break. Kim backs up and looks at Kandis. Kandis turns to her a bit.

Sharper: “Kim with the early break.”

Knots: “That’s odd.”

Sharper: “I figured she’d want to send a message to Christy.”

Knots: “We’ve seen Kim and Marie switch in the past?”

Sharper: “Maybe.”

Sharper: “You may be right. Either way, Kandis has to keep fighting, regardless of who she’s facing, Kim or Marie.”

Knots: “Yeah, but if it’s Marie, you know you’re not going to get stapled or worse!”

Kandis gets up and turns as Kim slowly pulls herself up and Kandis then knees her in the ribs. She then drags her over and hits a hip toss into the corner.

Kim starts to stir as Kandis rolls over. Both wince in pain. (6) Kim grabs at the ring skirt and uses it to pull herself up. (7) She then gets up to her feet as Kandis rolls to the barricade. (8) Kim rolls into the ring. Kandis grabs at the barricade. (9) She then turns and lunges to the ring, but falls over. (10) The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via countout, Kimberly Williams!”

Kim looks around before smirking and winking to the camera.

Sharper: “Kim Williams/Marie Jones, whichever twin that was. I think it’s Marie. Kim was booked. Kandis and her had a hell of a match. But Kandis just unable to get back to the ring.”

Knots: “But this Sunday, that could be the difference. With ten people in the tag match, one fall, one bad landing, and you may be out of the match!”

Sharper: “And not walk out the World Tag Team Champions!”

Kim stands up and has her arm raised as she looks at Kandis. Kandis leans against the barricade annoyed as the scene cuts away.

Backstage, Jessica Winters is seen standing with Owen Cruze who is standing next to her. The crowd cheers.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Owen Cruze and Owen, a big change made to the World Championship Double Jeopardy match this Sunday. But not only that, Syren and Sienna are, unsurprisingly, acting like they’ve got this won.”

Owen: “Oh that’s it folks. Damn it, Calamity Cruze struck again. I’m such a wreck, I’ve already been written out of the script.”

Owen scoffs.

Owen: “All the more reason I need to step up and beat both of them. And James too, but I’ll get to that. The fact is that we just saw exhibit A why Syren Swann is so apt. The two are practically the same person just with different moving parts. And it’s why both need to go down this Sunday. Sienna Swann can talk her game up. Syren can too. And I get it, I’m not as pissed off as others about this match. There was controversy. The hole came after Syren went through it and after Glory and Alistaire were effectively eliminated. Reset the Chamber and you have us four. It’s a second chance, but it’s also a final chance…a final chance, at least for now, to make sure that World Championship is in the hands of someone who actually respects it and isn’t looking to make it vindicate their whole being.”

Owen pauses as the crowd cheers.

Owen: “I get it. I’m young. But even I see that and see how Syren and Sienna need it to tell the world they’re the best. They want to pocket the extra money and flaunt the belt. They’ll do ANYTHING to win. We saw that. Well I’ll do anything to win too, but I don’t need to sell my integrity down the river to do it. I can win in that ring against someone of the best, just like when I drove Sienna into the mat at Rise to Greatness. Just like when I pinned Syren at Retribution….”

Owen pauses and sighs.

Owen: “And then there’s James…”

Owen shakes his head.

Owen: “James…you crossed a line too. Tampering with the Chamber putting us all in trouble. Again, I’m not pissed off that you’re in the match. Because if you weren’t, you could still have your axe to grind. But whether it’s Syren, or its me who beats you, because damn it, I can’t let Sienna win…I will make sure you realize that whatever you’re doing, whatever past habits you’re relying on…They will not fly. Because if you’re just like Syren and Sienna, willing to take the cheap way out, SCW does not need you and EVERYTHING you’ve claimed for the last year and change was a lie. And James…I’ve been in the same room with you. I’d like to think you’ve changed, but maybe we’ve been conned by all of this. Maybe we’re seeing the real James and if that’s the real James again…then I need to win this Sunday. It’s that simple. For Alistaire, Aaron, Peyton, everyone who cares about legitimate competition. To end all of this damn controversy…and to remind everyone who the hell we are…Supreme!”

Owen looks at the camera as the crowd cheers. The scene slowly fades to black.

Backstage, Breakdown returns as Jaina Lancaster is with Konrad Raab.

Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jaina Lancaster here with Konrad Raab and Konrad, you’ll be facing Gavin Taylor later tonight, but you told me off camera you wanted to speak about something else briefly. Care to share with us all?”

Konrad: “Thank you Jaina and welcome to SCW. I’ll be looking forward to getting my hands on Gavin Taylor, showing him you don’t target someone’s back and attack someone from behind, but with my goals to continue to climb up the ladder, there’s a way to make sure that people who should be holding SCW gold are indeed doing that. I heard Sasha’s announcement and just hearing Owen speak, you know he’s the real deal. Just as Alistaire believed in me, I know Owen and many others do and I will be proudly out there this Sunday, standing at ringside to ensure that the World Championship will be decided fairly and justly. I know I won’t be alone, but many of us are going to make sure that if Sienna and Syren and it seems James win…they have to do it in the ring, by being the better wrestler. Owen…we know you’ll do what you need to do.”

Konrad turns to Jaina.

Konrad: “Just like tonight, I’ll be looking to make Gavin Taylor an honest wrestler.”

Jaina: “Thank you for your time and good luck later tonight, Konrad.”

Konrad: “Thanks.”

Jaina: “Back to ringside.”

We cut back to the ring.

There’s a loud click as the lights around the building flick off and darkness consumes the arena, with nothing but a few flashes from cameras in the crowd lighting the arena. The lights return slowly and dimly in a crimson hue as a boos spread throughout the arena, then without warning we see black and white footage spring to life on the screen of Winston Churchill giving one of his most famous speeches, all the while the chilling sound of air raid sirens and war can be heard in the background...

"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall NEVER surrender!"

The video suddenly burns away to reveal a second hidden image of the devious ex-president George H. W. Bush giving a speech of his own...

"When we are successful, and we will be, we'll have a real chance at this new world order..."

“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to erupt into a sea of boos as they know who is about to make their presence felt. A few moments pass before Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews walk out from the back. They crowd boos seeing them as they stand on the stage. The two then start to walk down to the ring and over to the ring.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews in the middle of a lot of controversy again. We talked about it to start-“

Knots: “Is Kim going to come out here?”

Sharper: “Notice they waited until the clash with Kandis. We found out that was Marie in the match. So already Twin Magic playing games and a lot to watch in this one.”

Christy reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then steps along the apron before stepping into the ring. Ravyn walks up the steps too and along the apron before wiping her feet. She then steps into the ring. She looks around as Christy Matthews asks for a microphone. Phillips hands her one. She takes it and looks around before walking over to the middle of the ring. Ravyn leans back in the corner as Christy takes the center of the ring and looks around. The crowd boos.

Christy: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am now a former World Tag Team Champion!”

The crowd boos as Christy smirks.

Christy: “For years I have wanted to hold that title and last week, finally, FINALLY, I had the opportunity to do just that, holding a title that should’ve been around my waist years ago when I dominated tag wrestling as the Order of Chaos. After everything I have done in this business, there are only so many things that tick me off and that was one of them and finally, after months, Ravyn…”

Christy turns to her.

Christy: “You finally were able to secure what I have wanted. To hold SCW World Tag Team gold. It was only for twenty-four hours, but I don’t care. It counts! I hold the title that should’ve been mine YEARS ago!”

Christy looks around.

Christy: “What? Is there some controversy? Didn’t I hear about it? Some fat-assed sloppy seconds and a hall of famer took issue with me winning title. Not like you have a true claim on it. We all know you couldn’t get it done at Rise to Greatness. And not like I ever GOT a shot. That’s all that happened. I finally got a shot. Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson gave an open challenge. They had been for a while and we were going to take advantage of it and we did! And yeah, I held it for 24 hours. Autumn catching me with the roll-up. Our issues notwithstanding, I’ve always said she’s the most underrated wrestler in SCW, period.”

The crowd boos.

Christy: “And now it’s onto the next challenge. Infamous has gotten me one thing I wanted. And maybe I want it a bit longer.”

Just then, we see Kimberly Williams storming out from the back. Officials are stopping her as she steps out and looks around. She tries to head toward the ring, but officials stop her. Christy turns to the entrance way.

Sharper: “Kim Williams now out here. She’s coming for blood!”

Knots: “She said so much for this Sunday. She may not be waiting!”

Sharper: “And that may confirm that Marie was in fact wrestling Kandis moments ago!”

Christy looks at the entrance as Ravyn steps out.

Christy: “Did I neglect to mention you Kim? Sorry that I dropped Marie at ringside, but the name of the move should make it clear how I view things – Happily Never After…just like Tag Title reign.”

Kim lunges again, and tries to get past. The crowd roars as Christy walks over to the ropes.

Knots: “I don’t know if I’d taunt her!”

Sharper: “She knows Kim may not be able to break free from SCW security!”

Christy: “You want your revenge. It’s going to have to wait and Kim…I have no problem sending Marie to the floor again, this time from the top of a ladder because you won’t walking out Tag Team Champions. Maybe I want it again! This time to remove ANY and all doubt that I should be seen as the top name in tag wrestling!”

Kim lunges again and this time, nails one official with a hard right. She goes to nail another, but the officials restrain her.

Christy: “Get her out of here. Let her cool down!”

The crowd boos as a “Kim!” chant begins. Christy turns as Ravyn takes the microphone. She then walks forward.

Ravyn: “As our finest security members deal with this interloper, I should pass along a brief message to Jake Starr and his apparent sister, Jordan Majors…”

Ravyn shakes her head as we cut back to see Kim getting pulled back.

Ravyn: “You can keep threatening us with weapons, but the fact is that Jordan has stepped up and gotten involved with issues and powers she cannot win against. You know this Jake…Kim is going to find this out, just as Marie did. And as for those who do not care and the disappointingly named Jackass and Big Ass Connection, they will find out that I own Christy plenty and I will make good on my claims. Jake…Jordan…you can stand in our way, but you will come up short. Quoth the Ravyn, Nevermore!”

Ravyn brings the microphone down before we see Tommy Valentine and Kandis walk out from the back on the floor. The crowd roars seeing them as Ravyn turns to the entrance way as Kim is forced to the back, the officials still trying to get back. Kandis glances at her before walking forward. Tommy Valentine walks toward the ring.

Ravyn: “Tommy…you know as well as anyone, you shouldn’t just rush in here.”

Ravyn turns to Kandis.

Ravyn: “For her…she may not be so blessed with that information.”

Kandis steps forward and Tommy stops her. Kandis turns to him before Tommy steps forward and pulls himself onto the apron. Kandis looks at him. Tommy glances at her and nods. Tommy then steps into the ring. The crowd roars as Christy and Ravyn look at him. Kandis looks uneasy.

Sharper: “That look Tommy gave her…”

Knots: “That was a do you trust me look!”

Sharper: “A lot of history between Tommy Valentine and Infamous. Former member.”

Tommy looks at Christy and Ravyn before speaking to them, the camera on the apron just picking it up.

Tommy: “You had your fun last week. We are planning to take those titles. Get in our way again at your own peril.”

Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “Don’t threaten unless you know you can deliver. Because Tommy…I heard her earlier. And if you want those titles, we’ll make sure she needs to climb.”

Before Tommy can respond, the crowd roars as Jake Starr and Jordan Majors walk along the floor from the other side of the stage. Starr pulls himself up onto the rampway. Tommy turns as Kandis backs up to the ring and rolls into the ring. Ravyn and Christy back up and roll to the floor. Starr and Majors reach the ring and slide in. Tommy and Kandis turn to them. Starr and Jordan get up as Jordan walks over to the ropes. Starr does as well. Ravyn and Christy calmly walk around the ring as Jake backs up and Tommy turns to him and spins him around.

Sharper: “Starr and Majors coming out. I think they planned to say something to Infamous too. But Infamous just leaving!

Knots: “But look at this. Tommy Valentine and Jake Starr now face to face!”

Sharper: “Jake helped induct Tommy into the hall of fame earlier this year. Now they’re face to face! They will be against each other this Sunday!”

Knots: “Both aiming for Infamous too!”

Kandis and Jordan stand watching the two men as Ravyn and Christy leave the ringside area. Jake and Tommy start to talk, getting a bit more animated as the scene cuts away.

Backstage Selena Frost is with Regan Street. Regan just shakes her head.

Regan: “You know what to do with him. You don’t buy it. Then make sure he can’t sell it.”

Selena: “I know. Just with so much…and Delilah, how’s she transitioning to this all.”

Regan: “Still shy. That’ll get out of her soon enough.”

Selena: “But she’s exactly the type of person I’d be afraid with with Xander around…”

Regan: “That’s my issue. Hell, when you’re done, if there’s anything left, I’ll be next up. We have unfinished business from earlier this year and the jackass has the balls to say he doesn’t respect me. I’ll make sure he’s cowering to me if I have to.”

Selena smiles.

Selena: “We’ll make sure he’s respecting us one way or another. Whether this is all BS or not.”

Regan: “Looks like you know what you need to do. Looks like I know what’s next after you’re done. Just need to-“

Selena: “Don’t tell me you need to look for a Tag partner still. I know that’s on your mind…You don’t need to look far.”

Regan: “You have your own issues.”

Selena: “I do. But you had yours too and you’ve been by my side in this whole Xander thing too. After Clarity, if you want a bit of a Platinum reunion to win you Tag gold and see what we can do there. I’m right there.”

Regan smirks.

Regan: “That works for me.”

Selena: “You just need to stay out of trouble this Sunday.”

Regan: “You heard Sasha’s announcement…about the World Title.”

Selena: “Yeah…I did. Why I said you should stay out of trouble…”

Selena turns and heads off. Regan chuckles.

Regan: “Since when do I listen.”

Cain Adams vs. Sammy Thomas Davies

Breakdown returns to the ring as Sammy Thomas Davies stands in the ring, stretching out, getting ready to compete. Clamidiya on the floor speaks to him before looking around.

Sharper: “Sammy Thomas Davies about to be in action and a bit of a unique situation here. We’ve seen his opponent who is making his debut.”

Knots: “Yeah. It’s that big guy that was attacking James Evans. Apparently, he’s a wrestler and SCW, realizing that James Evans deserves some retribution there, regardless of his mental state, there’s an option here.”

Sharper: “Chris Cannon. Sienna Swann. So many others may want to target this man. Nevermind that that masked woman is still at large.”

No music plays as the spotlights turn to the entrance way to show the large man, who previously was one of the masked men who attacked James Evans and others, walks out from the back. He looks down at the ring and closes his eyes, taking a deep breath before starting to make his way to the ring. The crowd boos him as he makes the walk down.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall with a ten minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Parts Unknown, he is Cain Adams! And his opponent, accompanied by Clamidiya, from the Red Light District, he is Sammy Thomas Davies!”

The crowd cheers Davies a bit as Adams reaches the ring and slowly slides into it. He then looks up at Davies and starts to get up. He extends his arms as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “The man’s name is Cain Adams. I’m not familiar with his work, but we know he is dangerous.”

Knots: “That’s for sure.”

The bell sounds and Davies runs over and nails Adams with a hard right and then another and another. Adams goes for a swing blow, but Davies ducks. He kicks him in the ribs and then jumps up and hits a dropkick. Adams falls into the ropes. Davies gets up and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and jumps up, but Adams sidesteps and sends him into the ropes. Davies bounces back, but Adams forearms him in the back of the head. Davies falls to the middle rope. Adams walks over and pulls him through the ropes and leans him against the top rope before clubbing him over and over across the chest. The crowd boos with each shot as the referee counts for the break.

Adams lets go and backs up. Davies leans on the middle rope before falling back into the ring. He rolls over.

Sharper: “Just pure brutality. Nothing fancy. Clubbing blows.”

Knots: “Davies no longer has a chest.”

Davies starts to get up and Adams watches him before walking over and clubbing him in the back. Davies drops down and Adams drags him up before whipping him into the ropes. He bounces off and scoops Davies up and hits a huge swinging sidewalk slam. He then goes for the pin.

Davies kicks out. Adams turns to him and then gets up and drags him up. Davies nails him in the ribs and then again. He turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for a jumping clothesline. Adams ducks and Davies stops, but as he does, Adams spins around and nails him with a discus clothesline to the back of the head. Davies falls to the canvas hard.

Sharper: “Another vicious blow. And we’ve seen this man put down some of the best with his assaults. Davies just doesn’t have a chance.”

Knots: “Davies is trying. He’s practically fighting for his life!”

Adams then walks over and grabs Davies and drags him up. He looks around before hooking him up by the head. He then hoists him up as if going for a vertical suplex before then dropping him forward and swinging him through into a one armed slam. The crowd ohs. Adams then gets up and stands up before placing his foot on the chest of Davies.

1!

3!

The bell sounds.

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

Cain Adams steps off. He pulls away from the official as we see James Evans walking out from the back. The crowd roars and James Evans continues to head down to the ring.

Sharper: “Cain Adams with an emphatic debut victory!”

Knots: “And now he’s going to have to deal with his first official post-match fight! Here comes James Evans!”

Sharper: “James Evans bee-lining for the ring!”

James Evans continues to head to the ring, but just as he does, we see the masked woman run out along the floor. She runs over to the rampway and pulls herself onto the ramp before starting to run down. James Evans then turns at the last moment, feeling something off and the woman stops. She then looks around before running over and going to nail James. James blocks it and shoves her back before turning as Adams drops down to the floor. James turns and nails him in the ribs with a hard right and then another and another. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “James saw the woman coming! Now going after Adams!”

Knots: “But he needs to get distance! She’s back up!”

The masked woman gets up, pulling something from under her shirt and nailing James in the ribs from the side. James winces and Adams grabs him and turns and spins him around, throwing him into the ring apron. James winces and the masked woman comes over and nails him again in the ribs. James falls to a knee. The crowd boos. Adams then steps in. The camera gets a good shot of the woman, showing a small pipe in her hand.

Sharper: “Assaulting him with a pipe! Yeah! It’s a pipe!”

Knots: “Another two on one. And no one is coming to help him. Not after what’s been going on! Not after what he did!”

James winces against the ring as Adams leans in, grabbing him by the jaw. He laughs a bit.

Adams: “Told you you can’t win against us!”

Adams laughs again.

Adams: “We will make you see that you’ve done EVERYTHING wrong!”

James shoves him back and nails him with hard right before the woman nails him in the arm with the pipe. Evans falls to the apron in pain as Adams then grabs her and they turn and start to back away. The crowd boos as we see officials starting to come out from the back. Adams turns as the woman drops to the ground next to the ramp and runs to the back. Adams watches her leave before heading to the back himself. James steps forward, seething.

James: “Get your ass back here! Fight me!”

Backstage, the scene opens up to show Casterillo pacing backstage. He walks past the camera once and then stops. He turns and goes to walk across again before stopping and then turning to the camera.

Casterillo: “Looks like there will be an opportunity to show what I do stand for this Sunday…I may not be booked…but you will see me…and you’ll all find out who I really am.”

Casterillo pushes away from the camera and sighs before walking off camera again as the scene fades to black.

Cassidy Carter vs. El Lucho Grande

SCW Television Championship

The lights in the arena go dark for a moment, and the crowd hushes in anticipation.  After a few moments, the baseline to "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish begins thumping through the speakers. The arena fills with a mixture of boos and cheers.  As Billie's voice begins singing, low red lights begin flashing in time with the rhythm.

White shirt now red, my bloody nose 

Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes 

Creeping around like no one knows 

Think you're so criminal 

Cassidy's face appears on the big screen, blood streaming down her nose as she flashes a sadistic smile before her face disappears and her name flashes across the screen in blood red letters.  The red lights keep flashing. 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship! First, the challenger, accompanied by Ace Marshall, from Las Vegas, Nevada, she is the Duchess of Debauchery, Cassidy Carter!”

Bruises, on both my knees for you 

Don't say thank you or please 

I do what I want when I'm wanting to 

My soul? So cynical

White strobes begin flashing as Cassidy appears in the entryway.  The crowd is louder now, mostly booing Cassidy, but there are a few audible cheers mixed in. Cassidy is wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up and "Bad Guy" sprayed on the back in red spray paint,and a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses.  In her hand she hold a leash which is connected to Ace Marshall's neck.  She grins devilishly posing for a moment before walking down the ramp, Ace following closely behind her.  As she gets to the end of the ramp, she pauses and looks back at her husband, who quickly moves and lifts her onto the ring apron.  Cassidy moves to the corner as Ace climbs the steps before holding the rope open for her.  She enters the ring and he follows.  She continues holding the leash as she moves to the corner, climbing the turnbuckle and blowing a kiss to the crowd with her free hand, as the boos grow louder.  As she steps down from the turnbuckle she hands the leash to the referee as she takes off her sunglasses and sweatshirt.  The ref drops the leash and Cassidy motions for Ace to get out of the ring.  He obeys and leaves as she waits for the match to start. 

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter about to be in action. She’s been clear about how she wants SCW gold again. She’ll have an opportunity tonight against El Lucho Grande.”

Knots: “Maybe will get a free cup of coffee out of the deal too!”

The arena goes dark and the opening riff of “Escribe Una Canción” starts to play. As the intro pauses, the sound of a shotgun being cocked is heard. As the music kicks back in, the camera angle changes to under the stage where El Lucho Grande, holding the SCW Television Championship, is seen shaking his head profusely while pointing at the contraption that sends him into the air. Instead he leaps up and grabs onto the sides of the hole in the stage and pulls himself up instead in a far less endearing way… We can see Venti throwing his arms up into the air underneath the stage while Grande rolls onto the safely and leaps into the air on his own accord to a small pop of pyro…

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Soconusco in Mexico, the SCW Television Champion, ELLLLLLLL LUCHOOOOO GRANDEEEEEE!!!”

Grande looks back down the trapdoor and shakes his head again talking to someone before realizing he has a match entrance to finish.  Grande spins around and looks surprised at the fan turnout for this show.  But this does not deter him, and he immediately bursts to the ring. He hits the ring and slides in, rolling to a knee and spreading his arms with a bicep flex and pointing to the sky pose. He jumps up and throws his arms in the air and walks around the ring excitedly and waits for the match to begin, his manager Nate Patrick now somehow mysteriously stood at ringside from wherever he turned up from. Grande hands off the title to Aaron Demitra, the official, to hold over his head as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen. He then hands off the title.

Sharper: “A surprise to say the least – Grande winning the title against Aaron Blackbourne last week.”

Knots: “But now is it a fluke or is it reflective of what he can do? Cassidy Carter, I may not like her, but she can go.”

Sharper: “Remember, she was challenging for the SCW World Championship to start the year.”

The bell sounds as Cassidy looks at El Lucho Grande and looks around. She scoffs and the two circle the ring. Cassidy then goes to move into Grande. Grande goes to lock up, but Cassidy just nails him with a hard right. Grande stumbles back. Cassidy smirks before Grande then lunges at her and ducks under her and rolls her up with a school boy.

Cassidy kicks out. Both get up and Cassidy goes for another forearm, but Grande blocks it and then wrenches her arm and then spins around before taking her down with an arm wringer hip throw. Cassidy rolls over and moves to the ropes. Grande walks over and grabs her and whips her across the ring. Grande then does a front flip, but Cassidy just stops at the middle of the ring. Grande gets up and gives a thumbs up. The crowd roars. Grande turns and Cassidy kicks him in the knees and then grabs his head and drives him down to the mat. She moves into a mount and hammers away on the champion.

Sharper: “Grande maybe not taking this as seriously as he should either and Cassidy quickly taking him down.”

Knots: “Both having some fun. I don’t know about that with a title on the line.”

Sharper: “Maybe some turnabout fair play?”

Knots: “Then shove a coffee cup up the other’s ass and beat them!”

Cassidy gets a few more shots in and then rolls over and gets up. Grande rolls over. He slowly pulls himself up and Cassidy runs over and hits a swinging neckbreaker. She turns and moves over, leaning against him with a very lax cover.

Grande counters with a crucifix style pin.

Cassidy starts to get up and Grande watches as Cassidy runs at him, but Grande sidesteps a clothesline attempt. She stops and turns and Grande grabs her and whips her into the corner. Grande runs after and jumps up and onto her legs. He then hits the Dopamina Habito. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Well how about that. A monkey flip….from the bigger guy to the smaller one!”

Knots: “Cassidy doesn’t even know what just happened!”

Cassidy gets up and turns around and Grande nails her with a European uppercut. He goes for the pin.

Cassidy kicks out. Grande rolls over. He slowly pulls himself up and Cassidy rolls over. He grabs her and Cassidy thumbs him in the eyes. Grande staggers back and Cassidy gets up and nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Grande falls to the ropes. Cassidy goes to whip him across, but he spins through and sends her in. Cassidy jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a back elbow. Grande hits the mat. Grande stirs as Cassidy gets up and quickly grabs him and hits a DDT. She rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Grande kicks out.

Sharper: “Nearfall! Nearly beat Grande to become champion!”

Knots: “Cassidy remembered it’s a title match. Helped that Grande is showing up and looks like its not a fluke.”

Sharper: “Not taking him lightly now.”

Grande then starts to get up and Cassidy runs into the ropes. She bounces off and hits a flying headscissors. Grande rolls through. Grande starts to get up and Cassidy turns and grabs his arm and tries to lock in the Fabulock. Grande shakes his head no and rolls through. Cassidy holds on and Grande moves his legs back and pushes her off with them. Cassidy falls back and rolls over. She turns to Grande who lunges and hits her with a running knee strike to the shoulder. Cassidy falls over to the ropes. She starts to get up and staggers forward before Grande catches him by the head, pulling her back and hitting the Atrapaseunos!

Sharper: “El Lucho Grande pulls Cassidy down with that backbreaker, the Atrapaseunos!”

Knots: “Cassidy just walked into it!”

Sharper: “Smooth as Colombian brew!”

Grande crawls over and hooks the leg.

The crowd cheers. El Lucho Grande rolls off.

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

El Lucho Grande gets up. He looks around and then holds up one finger, presumably to show he’s number one. Nate Patrick grabs the title and enters the ring. Ace Marshall just looks on from the floor, stunned. Patrick hands Grande the title as Demitra holds Grande’s arm up. Cassidy rolls over in pain as Grande looks around and nods, holding the title up.

Sharper: “El Lucho Grande is successful in his first defense! He’s just defeated Cassidy Carter!”

Knots: “I don’t believe it. But what the hell! He and Venti may be as advertised!”

Sharper: “They’ve come in and they may be a bit odd, but they’re showing they can go in that ring!”

Grande continues to pose in the ring, almost as if for non-existent photographers before the scene fades out.

Backstage, Scarlet Grey is seen wearing a bra and leggings as she is getting dressed after her match. We then see, Rachel Tatum Lee walking into the room. She steps over and Scarlet turns and sees her and steps back.

Rachel: “Relax…I’m plannin’ yer ass-kickin’ fer this Sunday.”

Scarlet: “And what makes you so sure that’s going to happen?”

Rachel: “Because yer not as pissed off as I am. I gotta watch Katie Steward have a shot before me so Scarlet…you get to be an example.”

Scarlet: “Maybe you underestimate how annoyed I am. I can fix it all in one night. And Rachel, I’ve already dealt with one person who people thought could wipe the floor with me. Datura’s still hobbling around, crying about her medical bills.”

Scarlet steps up and points Rachel’s chest. Rachel grabs her finger.

Rachel: “Touch me again and I’ll break your finger.”

Rachel lets go.

Rachel: “Ya picked the wrong time ta step up.”

Rachel turns and walks off as Scarlet watches her leave. As Rachel leaves the room, Scarlet then responds.

A live shot of the outside of the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “We are live in Pittsburgh, just three days away from Clarity, live on pay per view!”

Knots: “Yeah and everyone’s getting ready. Now a lumberjack main event this Sunday. Double Jeopardy. The roster to police it. Good lord!”

Gavin Taylor vs. Konrad Raab

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

Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, from Los Angeles, California, he is The All Star, Gavin Taylor!”

Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa

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

The song continues...

I cheated to get what I got
Stepped all over you self for my spot
I bet you I'm winning, I bet that you're not
I bet you don't see me, I bet you get caught

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

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor making friends in high places.”

Knots: “He just thinks he’s the greatest thing ever and uh…well, makes sure we all know it.”

Sharper: “He attacked Asher Hayes’ back last week. He challenges Hayes for the Adrenaline Championship this Sunday and with Konrad Raab standing with Pehyton Rice, Glory Braddock, wanting to fight for justice, he’ll be challenging Gavin tonight.”

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

Phillips: “His opponent, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Iced Rainbow, Konrad Raab!”

He ignores the fans due to his focus on wanting to fight in the ring. He goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes before sitting down in the corner of the ring with the crowd cheering for him, having a nasty look in his eyes waiting for the match to start.

Sharper: “Konrad Raab happy to fight. A lot on his mind. Coming out of a match for respect with Regan Street. Now looking to teach some respect.”

Knots: “Is that even possible with Gavin?”

Sharper: “We may find out.”

The bell sounds. Gavin looks at Konrad as Konrad runs at Gavin. Gavin yells out and Konrad nails him with a hard right. Gavin falls back into the corner. The crowd erupts in cheers. Konrad follows up with a hard right to the jaw and then a left to the ribs, followed by a right and then a left.

BELIEVE IT!

The crowd cheers as a blue hue comes over the arena. “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande plays throughout the arena. Selena Frost then walks out from the back. The crowd cheers some more. She scans the crowd, listening to the fans for a moment, before she starts to make her way down the rampway.

Sharper: “Selena Frost has been skeptical about whether Xander Valentine has really changed.”

Knots: “Do you blame her?”

Sharper: “Not at all. After all of the attacks, to then mention he respects her. I don’t know.”

Knots: “Add how he responded to Regan Street too last week. Selena Frost talking to Sasha and still wasn’t sold.”

Sharper: “Different motivations and different options for how to deal with it.”

Selena Frost walks to the ring and pulls herself up onto the apron. She then steps into the ring. She looks around, notably not scanning the arena as she had in the past, instead walking across the ring to the opposite corner. She then takes a microphone waiting for her. She steps back to the middle of the ring and looks around as her music fades out.

Selena: “I am still not sure about all of this.”

Selena pauses as the crowd buzzes a bit.

Selena: “After months of attacks, of indignant speeches, talking about how people like Regan and I have forcibly taken your spot, going after the OWNER of this company, not once, but twice…and then going after my family…Threatening to end my career. Even as late as ONE month ago. And yeah, I was in this ring, I was in this ring for the Empty Arena match. I know how my body still aches, just like I know yours does. And now…you respect me?”

Selena scoffs a bit as she shakes her head.

Selena: “You’re the mighty Xander Valentine. You’re this monster. I still remember how when you first returned, CHBK was practically telling Dark Fantasy to run for their lives before they humiliated you at Rise to Greatness. But then again, people aren’t running for their lives. They’re standing up to you. People aren’t going to let a bully get ahead of them. They’re not going to stand aside. And while you may still have your physical strength, there are all of us here who will stand up to you. Because Xander, you did one thing NO ONE should ever do…you attacked the True Believers. You attacked the fans of SCW. You crossed that barricade with the intent to hurt…”

Selena pauses and looks at the camera.

Selena: “But you respect me now…”

Selena shakes her head.

Selena: “I already told Sasha. I’m not happy that you’re back. It’s not that I’m running. It’s not that I know how dangerous you are in this ring. It’s because I don’t think you deserve ANY second chance. You deserve to be removed from this sport and remember as a relic who for a couple of years was a top star, but frankly, has been surpassed. So Xander, if you don’t get the hint, I have NO respect for you. Zero. Zilch. I am coming this Sunday, to knock you the hell out and make the echo of the referee counting to ten be all you hear to end 2019!”

The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “The Snow Queen fired up tonight!”

Selena: “Isn’t this the point where you would come out and threaten me? You would suggest that I know not what I speak of? Or maybe, just maybe, I need to remind you what is going to happen this Sunday, because Xander, I am putting you down. Roll it…”

Selena looks around before turning to the entrance way. A few moments pass.

RISE TO GREATNESS XVI:

Selena is on the apron. Xander turns and reaches for her, but Selena slingshots herself into the ring and backs up. Xander slides in, annoyed before getting up and Selena runs at him. Xander lifts her up and Selena, as if expecting it lands on the top rope behind him. Xander turns around nonchalantly and Selena nails him with the Defying Gravity. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “Showing the end of their Rise to Greatness match!”

Hollinsworth goes over to check on Xander. Xander grabs at the ropes and then just falls forward. Hollinsworth keeps checking and grabs his arm. It drops to the mat. He checks again to be sure and it falls again. Xander falls to his side as Hollinsworth calls for the bell. The crowd roars. Hollinsworth looks around, stunned before turning and pointing to Selena Frost. Selena Frost just smiles as she falls to her knees and looks at Xander.

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

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. The crowd roars. Selena looks at the camera.

Selena: “That moment. That moment that you used as an excuse for EVERYTHING you’ve done since then. But no, you respect me now. Xander…this Sunday, I plan to do that exact same thing again. The only difference is that I now know you may not take me lightly. That I do buy. Because I know you know just how dangerous I am in this ring. And Xander…when I knock you out again, and the bell rings again, maybe then we can see if you REALLY respect me.”

Selena brings the microphone down to her side. The crowd cheers. “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande starts to play again. Selena then turns and plays to the crowd.

Sharper: “Selena Frost standing up in the face of Xander Valentine one last time. Selena won at Rise to Greatness. Xander won in the unsanctioned Empty Arena match the night of Under Attack. This Sunday, it all is settled!”

The scene cuts backstage to see Xander Valentine watching the monitor in the back. Artemis is with him, just watching him as Xander turns and walks off.

Knots: “Xander saw it all.”

Sharper: “Not rushing to the ring. Not doing much but listening.”

Knots: “Won’t just be listening this Sunday!”

Sharper: “No he will not. Sunday will be a night for action. Clarity, this Sunday! We’ll see you then folks. Good night everyone!”

Selena continues to stand in the ring, playing to the crowd as the scene fades to black…
