Breakdown - November 7, 2018

“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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The scene opens up with a shot of the outside of the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. The camera pans to show fans filing into the arena before cutting to the inside of the arena to see fans in their seats. This follows with a shot of the concourse where fans are at one of the merchandise kiosks.

Spirit: “We are in Sydney, Australia for Breakdown. Half the roster down under, half the roster in Europe!”

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

Spirit: “Hello again everyone. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters. And yes, SCW running two tours, so right now, half the roster is in one hemisphere and continent, and the other in another. So some interesting situations could develop.”

Shawn: “A number of teams split up. One of the big ones is Dark Fantasy. Ravyn Taylor and CHBK are in Australia whereas Syren is in Europe. What could that mean tonight? Ravyn strategized her way to the Adrenaline Title at Under Attack. Tonight, it could be very different.”

Spirit: “Tonight, Andrew Raynes will face Ravyn Taylor, getting his rematch, for the SCW Adrenaline Championship, but that’s not all. A huge main event. Sienna Swann will face off against Ace Marshall in non-title action.”

Shawn: “Ace back in action and again, another split, Cassidy Carter, his wife, in Europe right on. Cassidy could be in line for a title shot, but Sienna Swann, where is her head. Josh Hudson challenging her and using her Trios contract to do so. PPF is all but dead at this point!”

Spirit: “I’m sure we’ll hear some more there about that situation. We should add that Josh Hudson is not in Australia. So Sienna and Josh won’t be face to face for two weeks, and you wonder if that means they’ll be a bit more honest.”

Shawn: “I hope so!”

Spirit: “Furthermore, two people not split, Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries. They’re both in Sydney. Owen Cruze across the world. Giovanni Aries has been tweeting Selena and they’ve been getting into it. They’ll be in action, in separate matches, but will they clash.”

Shawn: “Bigger question may be whether Selena respects Owen’s wishes. Owen wanted to deal with Giovanni himself, but he needs to realize that Giovanni’s issue with Selena is not done, it seems. On top of that, Gio tried to take her out. He was out for a month after jumping off a damn scaffold!”

Spirit: “And finally, some big matches tonight. Trinity Street and Kennedy Street will team together for the first time in SCW. They face Har Megiddo. Har Megiddo without Damian Angel. Lohan Country will face Chance of Pain. All that and much more.”

Shawn: “Har Megiddo getting a chance to make a statement. Same for Chance of Pain. They wanted this. They hoped for it. SCW was listening!”

Spirit: “And we’ll be watching. All this and more tonight on Breakdown. Now let’s take you to Sydney where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are there to call the action!”

The camera pans up before we cut to a shot inside the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The cameras pan across the crowd.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Sydney, Australia as Breakdown is on the air! I’m Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and it’s going to be a hell of a night.”

The scene cuts to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

Knots: “Sienna Swann, our World Champion, it’s going to be a treat. She’ll be in action against that degenerate Ace Marshall!”

Sharper: “Along with that, Adrenaline Title on the line. Ravyn Taylor defends against Andrew Raynes. But not just that, Kennedy, your wife, Jon, will be teaming with her sister for the first time in SCW.”

Knots: “She’s been looking forward to it since it was announced. She’s going to enjoy this. Trinity too. And to take out Har Megiddo. Just perf…flawless!”

Selena Frost vs. Dante McCaffery

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "What I Believe" by Skillet brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that as the lights bounce off the ice-shard cape she wears.

Phillips: “The opening contest tonight is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Nome, Alaska, she is Selena Frost!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the ring.

Sharper: “And we’re kicking things off in Sydney, Australia with the Snow Queen herself in action.”

Knots: “She’s had her eye on Giovanni Aries in one sense, but the US Title in another and looks like there’s a veiled message here after Bree had the Network acting as her security last week. Well Bree isn’t here, but Selena can maybe make Bree think of a few things.”

The opening to “Out of the Black” hits the PA system, drawing boos from the audience. The lights flash with every sound of the drum. Once the bass hits and the song kicks into gear, Dante McCaffery emerges from the curtains with a long black and red fur trenchcoat with another black and white jacket underneath. He immediately mouths off to the crowd and scowls. Dante glares at the crowd and shortly after, Ms. Budde and the man from last week walk out. They head to the ring.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Ms. Budde and LEO, representing the Network, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he is Dante McCaffery.”

Dante walks down to the ring, giving the fans the "shoo" gesture repeatedly. Budde just glares at the camera as LEO ignores it heading to the ring. Dante soon pauses and stares at the audience to his right for a moment. He looks around at the crowd and he says a few things. He then starts walking up the steel steps before turning around, giving the crowd the chance to boo him some more. Dante soon enters the ring. LEO and Budde remain on the outside. The crowd boos as McCaffery looks around the crowd. He then slides off his trenchcoat, turning to Selena.

Sharper: “LEO is that man’s name, the newest addition to the Network. I don’t know whether we can say that.”

Knots: “Who cares? He’s with Dante. Good enough for me. Must have gotten some new recruits who help in their aims after Xander joined.”

Sharper: “Xander was a big get. Xander not here. At least as far as I know. So that’s got to be a benefit for Selena, who will be keeping her head on a swivel.”

The bell sounds. Dante turns and looks at Selena. Selena walks out too and she glances at Budde and LEO who look on. They move toward one another and Dante ducks down and spins around Selena, grabbing her by a waistlock. He then hoists her up and hits a Greco-Roman takedown. She winces as Dante gets up and hits an elbow drop to the back of her head. She winces and rolls over and Dante gets up and goes for a stomp. Selena rolls out of the way. He steps forward going for another stop. Again, Selena rolls out of the way. She gets to the corner and Dante grabs her and nails her with a forearm. He then pulls her out and goes to run her across to the corner, but Selena gets her boot up to block it. She then elbows Dante in the ribs and then jumps to the middle rope and hits a back kick. Dante falls back and hits the mat and rolls through, looking at Selena with a scowl. Selena just smirks and walks along the ropes.

Sharper: “Selena off the ropes with a back kick!”

Knots: “Well, I think Dante just found out that Selena’s ready for whatever he has to throw at her!”

Dante gets up and steps forward and goes for a swinging haymaker. Selena ducks and hits a shoot kick to the ribs. She then jumps up and hits an enziguri kick. Dante hits the mat. He rolls to the ropes. He grabs at them and starts to get up before turning around and Selena hits a chop. The crowd woos. She forearms him in the jaw and then again before grabbing him and going to whip him across, but Dante spins through and sends her in. She bounces off and jumps up and hits a flying headscissors. Dante rolls through. Selena gets up and Dante steps forward. Selena hits a spinning heel kick. She goes for the pin.

Dante kicks out. Both get up and Dante moves back to the corner. Selena moves after him and goes for a forearm, but Dante thumbs her in the eye out of the corner. He then spins her into the corner.

Sharper: “Dante catches her coming in as Selena was quickly running away with it. Referee reprimanding Dante.”

Knots: “Still poked her in the eye. Yell at him now. Yeah, he’s going to care!”

Dante then nails Selena with a hard right to the ribs and then a left and then another right and another left. The referee calls for the break. Dante instead rakes his arm against the face of Selena and she staggers out of the corner. Dante steps over and grabs her and whips her across. She bounces off and Dante runs at her and clotheslines her down. He goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out. Dante grabs her and locks in a reverse chinlock. He pulls back as Selena reaches out. She slowly starts to turn, getting her feet under her. The crowd boos Dante. Dante continues to hold on as Selena continues to get up and elbows him in the ribs and then again before going to run out, but Dante pulls her down by the hair. The crowd boos. Selena rolls over, holding her head in pain. She starts to get up and Dante runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits the Rapture. Selena hits the mat. Dante goes for the pin.

Selena gets her shoulder up.

Sharper: “Dante with the knee to the back of the head. Only a two though. Selena has a lot left in the tank.”

Knots: “I doubt that she flew half way around the world to let Dante win. Then again, I doubt the Network planned for this to be a failure too.”

Selena stirs and Dante grabs her and turns and just throws her out of the ring. Selena rolls on the floor. Dante turns and walks over as the referee reprimands him. But as he does, we see LEO step toward Selena and hits a vicious quick kick to her ribs as she stirs and she falls over. The crowd boos as LEO turns, straightening his cuffs as he walks back to where he was. Dante walks over to the ropes and drops down to the floor. (1) He then grabs Selena as she holds her ribs and rolls her in. He rolls in after. Selena stirs and Dante grabs her and hits a snapmare. Dante runs into the ropes, bounces off and nails Selena with a running elbow. The crowd ohs and Dante goes for the pin.

Selena gets her shoulder up again. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “LEO getting involved, with a vicious kick, and Dante follows up, but only two!”

Knots: “Nice looking kick. Looks like someone else can throw them like Selena or Kennedy can!”

Sharper: “Fits right in with the Network.”

Selena rolls over and Dante grabs her and pulls her up to her feet. Dante then hits a vertical suplex. Selena winces. Dante gets up and hits a boot rake on the face of Selena. Selena turns and grabs at her face, looking out, annoyed as she gets up to her knees. Dante then hits an elbow strike to the top of her head. She falls to her hands and knees before starting to pull herself up. Dante then grabs her and spins her around and forearms her in the jaw. She then goes to whip her into the ropes. Selena bounces off and Dante goes for a clothesline, but Selena counters with a crucifix before moving into a sunset flip.

Dante kicks out. Both get up and Dante goes for a clothesline before Selena ducks and jumps to the top rope and dives back with the Cold Shoulder.

Sharper: “Selena comes back! Catches Dante with her shoulder and Selena, fighting through this!”

Knots: “Dante should’ve asked for more kicks. Paid the new guy better!”

Selena rolls over and Dante turns and gets up and Selena hits a shoot kick to the face. Dante drops to a knee and Selena turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Dante steps up only for Selena to jump up and hit a tornado DDT. The crowd ohs and Selena hooks the leg.

Dante gets his shoulder up. She gets up and runs into the ropes. Dante turns and Selena hits a basement dropkick. She then turns and exits to the apron. She notices Budde and kicks at her. Budde steps back and snaps at the official. Dante gets up and Selena springboards to the top rope and jumps forward and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

Dante kicks out. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Oh God! Very close as Selena snapped him off with that hurricanrana. Head going into the mat.”

Knots: “Budde yelling at her too!”

Dante rolls over and Selena turns and kicks at the ropes. Budde backs up. Selena turns and Dante gets up and Selena kicks him in the ribs. She then goes to whip him across, but Dante spins through and sends her in. Selena hits the ropes and Budde grabs at her. Selena steps forward as the referee tells her to get away. She backs up, holding her arms up as Selena turns to her only for Dante to roll her up for an Okana roll. The referee turns.

Selena kicks out. Both get up and Selena drills him with the Glass Shard! The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Glass Shard! Selena caught Dante in the face!”

Selena goes for the pin.

Budde and LEO enter the ring as Selena rolls out of the ring to the floor. She backs up as Budde looks at her and storms over to the ropes. LEO just gets up and calmly straightens his cuffs again as Dante rolls over, grimacing in pain. Selena backs up as she looks at the ring.

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

Sharper: “Selena Frost, despite the Network taking the shots when they present themselves, hits the Glass Shard and wins it.”

Knots: “Hit it out of nowhere and trust me, I would love to see her hit that on Bree and end her smug reign!”

Sharper: “As much as she may want to focus on Bree, she’s focusing on Giovanni. So this may just be a reminder that at some point, she’ll get her hands on the US Champion and we’ll then see who outdoes who.”

Dante McCaffery starts to get up as Budde keeps watching Selena. Selena continues to head to the back before we cut backstage.

Backstage, we see Sienna Swann, Laura Steinbeck and the Truelove Twins walking down the hallway. The crowd roars and then boos seeing them.

Sharper: “The World Champion is here. Ut looks like her and the Beauty Factory is heading to the ring. What are they going to say? We’ll find out, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

“Style” by Taylor Swift plays throughout the arena. The crowd roars before starting to boo as we then see Sienna Swann walk out from the back with the Truelove Twins by her side. They all look down at the ring as Laura Steinbeck then walks out with them. She looks at her three SCW clients before Sienna Swann heads to the ring, proudly holding the SCW World Championship.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann will be in action later, but she’s looking like she’s going to share her thoughts on the Josh Hudson situation.”

Knots: “And also give these fans in Sydney something special, seeing her twice!”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, this week, the Trueloves are with her, so their distance from the World Champion has ended.”

Laura Steinbeck walks with Sienna, saying something to her as they head to the ring. London and Paris continue to head to the ring before Sienna walks up the steel steps. She looks around and smirks, looking out at the crowd before Sienna steps into the ring. She walks forward to the middle of the ring as London and Paris enter and hold the ropes open for Laura. London and Paris then go over to Sienna and pose with her as the boos continue. Sienna holds the World Championship over her head. The crowd continues to boo as Laura Steinbeck asks for a microphone. She’s handed one before Sienna stops her and asks for the microphone herself. Laura asks her something and Sienna nods. Sienna then takes the microphone as she looks around, the crowd roars some more.

Sienna: “Sorry Laura, but I feel that tonight, I should speak personally to my next challenger…right Josh.”

Sienna sighs and shakes her head.

Sienna: “I should be out here talking about how I am a proud World Champion, how the Beauty Factory is not going to let the results of the Chamber match define anything, how Sydney should be blessed to see me in-person twice in one show, making their beautiful city that much more beautiful!”

The crowd roars. Sienna looks around.

Sienna: “How Past, Present, Future was a well-oiled machine and dominating this business. I mean Bree just won the Tag Team Championship and tonight, Andrew Raynes is going to get back his Adrenaline Title. You were the TV Champion, Josh…but you let your arrogance cloud you, you lost it to Konrad Raab…and you took a Trios Tournament shot that you had made clear was to serve the future of SCW…to serve your pathetic, personal, delusional dreams.”

Sienna scoffs.

Sienna: “You think you can actually beat me?!”

Sienna looks at the camera, almost laughing.

Sienna: “Me? See, Josh, I think you’ve clearly become delusional. Something happened when you faced Justin Davis. I don’t know, but now, after all of this, you’re going to take Past, Present, Future….and now I guess I just have to erase the past again. And this time it’s you, Josh.”

Sienna looks at the cameras as the crowd boos. Sienna paces a bit.

Sienna: “So I hope that your brief return to being in the same conversation of this title was worth it. I already had plenty of clues in recent months that you were showing a lot of bad judgement. Some I even had first-hand knowledge of. But I figured at the end of the day, we could look back at the Trios Tournament and that moment where we AS A TEAM took out Selena Frost before I solidified myself as the IronAngel…well, Josh, I hoped you’d already at least show some professional judgment and when the time came that Trios Tournament contract would be left for the Beauty Factory to use to force someone’s hand. We could be talking about London and Paris getting the title shot they should’ve had months ago. But no, you had to make it about yourself, you self-centered poor man.”

Sienna shrugs.

Sienna: “So I’ll just have to do you a favour. There’s nothing more you can teach us. The past is going to be just that. And it will be erased by my hands at Bound by Blood.”

???: “Well hot damn, good to know you’ve already got that taken care of.”

The crowd roars as we then cut backstage to see Ace Marshall standing backstage, his cell phone in his hand. Sienna looks at the big screen. We cut to a shot of Sienna looking at it was London and Paris just look at the screen.

Ace: “Enough with the Josh talk. I already found him boring as hell, and well, if you’ve already got him down, on lock, already dead and buried, well we may as well be looking forward to who will be facing you next, Sie-Sie!”

Ace looks around.

Ace: “Oh…I don’t mean me. Although, be prepared for the thrashing of a lifetime as a former champion faces you, the current champion in non-title match. The past…wait, damn it, you want to erase that. Alright…I’ll snuff out the future…nope, that’s too close to the political crap back home. How about I’ll just enjoy my return to the ring and try not to make an ass out of myself.”

Sienna rolls her eyes.

Ace: “But what I mean is the NEXT World Champion HERSELF…The Duchess of Debauchery, Cassidy Carter. And just for you Sienna, I have her on the phone right now and she has a few things to tell you from wherever the hell she is.”

Ace then holds his phone up and out.

Cassidy: “Finally, asshole. I’m freezing my ass out here because we’re in Norway of all places. Why can’t we send our World Champion there? She can freeze her skinny ass.”

Sienna chuckles.

Cassidy: “But she’s probably going on about her and her stand in department store models need to be getting everything and blah, blah, blah. Here’s the thing. Just like you think you’ll kick Josh’s ass and trust me, it’s fun. Rachel told me all about it and I’m sure you’ll have a blast. He may even squeak a few times. I’ll then kick the walking GQ cover Blake Mason just because he’s in my way thinking he’s deserving of something when we all know I’m next and the world saw it. That means it’s you and me, Sienna. World title on the line. See, I can make bold statements. I can claim I’ll beat everyone. Why not? It’s fun and I’ll probably be getting drunk on the town later tonight, in training, for kicking your ass and Blake’s and Ikiro’s and anyone else in this waste of time to give me what I wanted from the get go…SCW Gold!”

The crowd roars as Cassidy pauses. Sienna rolls her eyes.

Cassidy: “And guess want IronBitch…I’m coming for yours. And I plan to douse it in tequila and party with it all night long in Vegas until I’m in jail or I pass out. Ace can come too.”

Ace: “Yes!”

Ace pumps his fist.

Cassidy: “And don’t worry…I’ll make sure you’ll be on some covers and get some new photoshoots. I mean…Ace already fancies himself a photographer…and a videographer…but well, I’ll at least spring for something nice. You can frame it and then erase it, just like the past…just it will be your title reign. Now, if you excuse me, I need to get ready to jump through some hoops before I kick your ass…”

We then hear Cassidy a bit fainter.

Cassidy: “Barkeep! Four shots of tequila! Right here!”

Ace then holds the phone to his mouth.

Ace: “Love yooooouuu….”

Ace hangs up and shrugs.

Ace: “What can I say? She’s got a stiff training program.”

Sienna: “You know what, Ace…at one point, I thought you were some cheap fun when I was bored. But now, with Cassidy, the two of you are just cheap. She think she’s coming for this. I’ll make sure after tonight, you can personally show her that she’s just going to walk away a failure, just like you.”

Ace: “Oh no…my pride! No….nooooo!”

Ace just scoffs.

Ace: “See you later Sie-Sie!”

Ace turns and walks off. Sienna just backs up.

Sienna: “Yeah, you will. And Josh…you better watch too. Give you a taste of what you signed up for. A loss to the IronAngel, the REAL Perfect Ten…the Beauty Factory’s own…your World Champion, Sienna Swann!”

“Style” plays as Sienna brings the microphone down. She then turns and Laura takes the microphone. Sienna then turns and looks around the arena as London and Paris walk over to the ropes and hold them forward Sienna. She steps through and drops down to the floor. Laura hands off the microphone to Jason Phillips before turning back and exiting the ring too. The Trueloves follow.

Sharper: “Confidence, or arrogance, depending on your view.”

Knots: “Cassidy was arrogant. Ace was arrogant. Sienna just telling the truth!”

Sharper: “My point exactly. Cassidy thinks she’ll run through her competition. We’ll find out starting next week. Sienna saying she’ll run through her competition while pointing out that Josh Hudson’s self-centeredness turned him against.”

Knots: “She’s going to erase the past again!”

Sharper: “And Ace and Sienna to meet later tonight. Tensions rising here in Sydney!”

The cameras follow Sienna, London, Paris and Laura as they head up the rampway to the back. The scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage we see Selena Frost standing backstage with Jessica Winters. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and I’m with Selena Frost. You managed to defeat Dante McCaffery earlier, but your mindset is on Giovanni Aries.”

Selena: “It definitely is. The fact is that when someone tries to jump off a scaffold, aiming to injure you, you tend to remember. When someone comes out after a match where a young star, someone who will be leading this sport, just won a big match, and you attack them, you remember. When you then don’t have the fortitude to stand up and deal with it personally and try to sell your lies and delusions, I have a problem. And tonight, Giovanni Aries will be here tonight. He will in action, against another young man who deserves better.”

Selena pauses.

Selena: “Well Giovanni, I will confront you tonight. Consider this your fair warning. I don’t have time for your games, for your delusions. I will teach you some respect and Owen won’t be here to tell me to stand back. You have Sam listening in to my conversations, to Owen’s…Giovanni, I’m done. I’m tired of this and you’ll find out tonight what I think about you and all of this Lizard King crap.”

Selena turns to Jessica.

Jessica: “Thank you Selena. Back to ringside.”

We then cut back to the ring.

Alistaire Allocco vs. Ruby Amarant

The Twilight In Your Eyes begins to play, the haunting melody overtaking the arena as the lights dim and ruby red lighting settles on the stage. Ruby Amarant slowly walks out onto the stage, her eyes slowly roaming over the fans with a cold, emotionless look. Slowly she begins to make her way down to the ring, not paying any mind to the fans even if some of them share their appreciation for the beautiful figure walking past their gaze. She slides into the ring and slowly rises to her feet, a smirk beginning to form on her lips as the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “Scarlet Grey may not be here in Australia, but Ruby Amarant is, and you have to wonder how that makes Aaron Blackbourne feel.”

Knots: “I think the bigger question is if Ruby’s interested in continuing Scarlet’s games. After all, she’s got a former World Champion about to meet her in the ring!”

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentary pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play, as the song begins to pick up into full swing, a quick line of pyrotechnics goes off, running down across the length of the stage. Through the smoke, out pops Alistaire Allocco, with both arms raised as if in presumptive victory. He marches down the ramp with his harms still held high. Alistaire doesn’t even give the crowd any attention as he heads straight towards the bottom of the ring steps. There he pauses, dropping both his arms. He rotates his torso a few times, swinging his shoulders, before he runs up the steps and across the ring apron. He steps inside, lifting a finger into the air, pointing to the sky as he stands there in the middle of the ring. His music dies as he moves to his corner, eyes narrowing into a bit of a glare as they meet Ruby’s unimpressed gaze.

Sharper: “Last week Alistaire was manipulated by the Red Empire to try and talk Blackbourne into giving Scarlet a chance, and it ultimately cost him a victory. As soon as he figured everything out, he immediately asked for this match once he heard he and Ruby would be on the same tour.”

Knots: “The kid’s got nobody to blame but himself for being so dense he blew a perfectly good opportunity trying to help Scarlet continue turning Aaron’s love life on its head.”

The bell rings and both competitors slowly close the distance, but before any action can get underway Ruby slowly extends her hand to Alistaire, giving him the most genuine smirk she can muster. Alistaire looks at her, conflicted, though the fans see right through it and begin booing. Slowly Alisiatre takes her hand and they shake, and to everyone’s surprise they actually release with no issue… until Ruby tries to catch him with a clothesline, but Allocco ducks it and grabs her in a waistlock before lifting her off her feet and planting her face first into the mat! He quickly transitions into a headlock, openly warning Ruby that she’s lost his respect and he’s wise to her tricks.

Sharper: “Ruby mockingly trying to show Alistaire some respect, but this young man definitely has his head on a swivel tonight.”

Knots: “Considering how badly he was played by Ruby and Scarlet last week, he really needs to prove tonight he’s not as naive as everyone believes.”

Allocco continues to grind away at Ruby as she starts getting to her feet. She backs against the ropes and tries to whip him off, but he wisely drops to a knee to halt this escape attempt, shaking his head. Ruby grits her teeth as she rises again, but before she can try anything Allocco releases the headlock only to spin into a front facelock so he can drop Ruby with a DDT. Keeping Ruby close, he rolls over right back into the headlock, and Ruby slams her fist into the mat. Alistaire keeps grinding away at Ruby as she makes another attempt to get back to her feet. She suddenly charges forward, and Allocco lets go when he realizes she’s trying to drive them both into the referee! He quickly puts on the brakes to avoid the unfortunate collision, but this allow Amarant to grab him from behind and land a belly-to-back suplex! She quickly goes for a cover.

1…

The referee’s hand makes contact with the mat for two right as Alistaire’s throws his shoulder up! Ruby is undeterred as she grabs his arm and applies a fujiwara armbar, trying to rip the former World Champion’s arm out of socket. The referee checks in with him, but Allocco simply grits his teeth and closes the short distance needed to grab the bottom rope with his free hand. Ruby, however, maintains the hold as the referee starts counting, only breaking the moment he hits four. She backs away as Alistaire glares at her while he rises, the redhead trying to look as apologetic as possible while telling him the rules say she has until five to break.

Sharper: “Ruby trying to turn the tables here, looking to get inside Alistaire’s head and use what makes him tick against him.”

Knots: “That’s one place you don’t want this woman to be, that’s for sure.”

The two close the distance and go to lock up, but Ruby drops down and slips through Allocco’s legs out onto the apron, and when he turns she catches him in the gut with a forearm to double him over. She goes to slingshot herself over, perhaps for a sunset flip, but Allocco suddenly shoots up and catches her while she’s still clearing the ropes, using her momentum to plant her with a northern lights suplex and stick the bridge!

Ruby Amarant kicks out! Both quickly get back to their feet and Allocco shoots for a single leg takedown, but Ruby quickly hops back to grab the top rope. The referee orders a break and Alistaire does so immediately. He starts telling Ruby that’s the way it should be done, but she tries to cut him off with an STO, only for Allocco to move his leg to block before using the position to take Ruby over with a uranage suplex! He grabs Ruby’s arm and applies an armbar of his own, rolling her over onto her side to drive his knee into her back as well. The referee checks in with her, but Ruby just shoots him an annoyed glare.

Sharper: “And just like that, Alistaire regains control of this match with some impressive suplexes!”

Knots: “This kid is hellbent on teaching Ruby a lesson after last week, though I don’t think she cares for whatever it is he’s trying to teach her.”

Ruby starts trying to drag her way over to the ropes as Allocco continues to apply pressure. She manages to graze the bottom rope with her fingertips before one last little movement allows her to grab it, and again Allocco immediately lets go. Ruby uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet, showing Alistaire just how annoyed she is right now. She starts to approach him and they go to lock up, but this time Ruby steps back and uses Alistaire’s forward momentum to run him throat first into the top rope! The fans show their disdain for that as Ruby rolls her eyes at the referee’s warning before hopping up onto the second turnbuckle, and once Allocco’s back to his feet she leaps off and catches him with a diving crossbody!

Alistaire Allocco kicks out! Amarant wastes no time, though, immediately springing towards the ropes and catching the rising Allocco with a sliding forearm smash to keep him on the mat!

Sharper: “And again, Ruby taking some liberty with the ropes and baiting Alistaire into a favorable situation.”

Knots: “She knows how huge a win over a former World Champion would be to the Red Empire, and making a mockery of Alistaire’s personal crusade in the process is the cherry on top to her!”

Ruby runs a hand through her hair in an attempt to maintain her calm before she pulls Allocco to his feet and applies the Ruby Dreams! Instead of falling to the mat with the bodyscissors though, she intentionally backs herself against the ropes and leans on them for leverage, only moving a short distance away when the referee warns her before repeating this. She smirks when Allocco’s arm looks like it’s starting to go limp, but the moment she starts to relax her grip he’s able to twist free and take her over with an exploder suplex! Alistaire stares at her as she gets up, almost in disbelief at her blatantly abusing the ropes to her advantage, and moves in for a second exploder, only for Ruby to elbow him in the side of the head. Allocco stumbles away and Ruby proceeds to send him to the mat with a clothesline. Seeing that he’s staying down, she moves to begin ascending to the top turnbuckle, leaping off for the Ruby Slippers only for Allocco to move! Ruby rolls through and Allocco gets up, moving as though he’s going to catch her with the Sins of the Father, but Ruby suddenly collapses, clutching at her ankle.

The referee moves in to check on her as Alistaire maintains a cautious distance but still respectfully asks if she’s alright. Ruby just cringes as the referee tries to support her and help her to her feet, and Alistaire sighs and turns to the crowd almost in apology to them. This is when Ruby suddenly shoves the referee away and surges forward, grabbing Allocco from behind for the Ruby Cutter, but Alistaire drops down and rolls through in a sunset flip type motion before twisting Ruby into the Glorious Revolution! The fans actually cheer for this as Ruby’s eyes go wide, reaching out for the ropes and trying to crawl towards them as she refuses to submit. She manages to graze the bottom rope with her fingertips, but this time Allocco doesn’t let her get any farther as he drags her back to the center of the ring. Spitting out a frustrated growl, Ruby tries to crawl again but Allocco doesn’t let her, and Ruby finally starts tapping out! The referee calls for the bell as “Fire It Up” hits again and Allocco releases the hold, letting the referee raise his arm as he looks proud of the victory he just earned.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… ALISTAIRE ALLOCCO!”

Sharper: “And Alistaire makes Ruby tap out in retribution for her and Scarlet trying to use him like a pawn last week!”

Knots: “God only knows what Scarlet’s reaction to this will be over in Europe when she finds out!”

Ruby rolls out of the ring and grits her teeth, clearly frustrated by this blown opportunity as Allocco keeps his arms raised while eyeing her to make sure she doesn’t try anything else. She continues to the back as Allocco continues to watch her. Just then, we hear a woosh as Allocco hears it as the crowd roars and we see a man, dressed in now a navy blue bodysuit, with cape and a mask similar to the Australian flag. The crowd roars as Allocco turns around and the man nails Allocco with a clothesline. Allocco hits the mat. He rolls over in pain. The superhero turns and thumbs up the camera as triumphant music plays.

Sharper: “That superhero again! Last week Casterillo! Now Allocco!”

Knots: “What the hell…and there’s a woosh again too!”

He then exits the ring as another woosh comes over the soundsystem. He scrambles to the back as the crowd roars and the superhero disappears into the mat as Allocco rolls over, holding the back of his head in pain.

Mr. D walks down the hallway as the crowd cheers a bit. He glances over at a trash can where we see the bodysuit worn by the superhero hanging over the side of it. Mr. D notices it and shrugs before continuing on his way before he sees Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams. Adams points him out to Raynes who turns and just snarls at Mr. D.

Andrew: “What do you want?”

Mr. D: “Well I’m your boss. So really, I could want a lot of things.”

Andrew: “That deals with me. Or is this where you point out how I’m going to get screwed tonight.”

Mr. D: “Not at all. At least, not by the obvious. CHBK is here.”

The crowd roars. Andrew takes a deep breath.

Mr. D: “Christy’s off in Europe. So is Syren. Looks like Alexander Crowe isn’t here. So I’m going to make this simple. Dustin, you’re staying back here. Just as CHBK will too. You’re both banned from ringside.”

The crowd roars.

Andrew: “Oh great…And what stops him from just coming out and getting her disqualified. Lord knows you hated me with the title.”

Mr. D: “Easy. If CHBK interferes or even shows up at ringside during the match, Ravyn Taylor forfeits the match. Just as if you Dustin show up, Andrew immediately forfeits. So Andrew, keep thinking they’re some conspiracy. But here’s your chance to win your title back.”

Mr. D turns and heads off. Andrew smiles as he cracks his knuckles. The scene cuts away.

The arena goes dark and a mist of smoke begins to gather at the top of the ramp as the opening rift of “Sail” begins to play throughout the arena. The lights start to flickers as a spotlight shines on top of the ramp. Justin Davis stands at the top of the ramp with his head lowered and a hood covering his head. Davis lifts his head as he takes his hood off and the words "JUSTIN DAVIS" shows on the big screen. The crowd begins to fill the arena with cheers. You can see a scowl on Davis' face while nodding his head as he begins to make his way down the ramp.

Sharper: “Justin Davis had his fight with Josh Hudson at Under Attack. A violent brawl and one that certainly both will remember.”

Knots: “But Justin has to remember that he lost. He has to remember he wasn’t good enough that night.”

Sharper: “And with that in mind, you have to think placing Davis and Hudson on separate tours is a way to avoid an issue.”

Davis heads to the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then walks along the apron and then enters the ring. He then looks around, absorbing the roars from the crowd. He then turns and goes to the corner and grabs a microphone waiting for him. He takes it, walking over to the middle of the ring. He then looks down as his music fades out and starts to pace in the ring.

Justin: “Well Josh, we had our fight.”

Justin looks up as the crowd roars a bit.

Justin: “And Josh, you won. I have to live with that. I have to live with the fact that when we finally got the match I wanted, you won. And I have to live with the fact that after that, you cashed in your God damned Trios tournament case to get a World Title shot. Yet again…you got the break. You got the best side of the deal. YOU WIN again…”

Justin pauses as the crowd gives a bit more of a mixed reaction.

Justin: “But it doesn’t mean I have to live with that being the last moment I compete in a wrestling ring.”

Justin looks up at the crowd.

Justin: “I may have now gotten through my entire list. I may have wanted Josh to be my last match. But I’m not going to leave until I finish what I did start. And that means you Rachel…”

Justin looks at the crowd more as they roar.

Justin: “Rachel Foxx….I know you’ve just had a newborn. But I know you’ve been training. I know you’ve been getting ready. I KNOW YOU KNOW I WANT TO FACE YOU. So Rachel…you name the terms. I’ll agree to them. Because I’m ending my goal on mine and it will be with me standing over one of the greatest competitors in SCW history!”

Justin pauses as he looks down.

Justin: “Rachel…your move.”

Davis brings the microphone down to his side and just drops it in the ring. He backs up as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx…the last name on his list.”

Knots: “Just is she going to want to return? I know she won’t care about being called out like this.”

Davis turns and exits the ring as the crowd continues to cheer a “Rachel Foxx!” chant begins to break out as Davis stops and looks around. He just smirks as he listens to it before stepping down the steel steps and down to the floor. He continues to head to the back as the camera follows him up the ramp before we cut away.

Backstage the scene opens up to see Sienna Swann in her locker room on her phone.

London: “You should hear this. Davis is-“

Sienna puts her hand up.

Sienna: “Please…not even worth my time.”

London shrugs and walks off. Sienna dials the phone and holds it to her face. She looks around. She then smiles.

Sienna: “Ikiro…Yes, it is me. I’m sorry about the time difference but I had to talk to you.”

Sienna pauses as she smiles.

Sienna: “You should have heard what Ace and Cassidy said about me…..I’ll handle Ace, but Ikiro, please, for me, humiliate Cassidy Carter. Can you do that?”

Sienna smiles as Ikiro responds on the other end.

Sienna: “Excellent. I’ll make sure you’ll personally find out exactly how appreciative I am.”

Sienna smiles.

Sienna: “Sleep well, EyeYoshi.”

Sienna hangs up and smiles as she walks toward her bags as the scene fades to black.

The scene opens up backstage to see CHBK with Ravyn Taylor who is doing up her boots.

CHBK: “Hear the latest.”

Ravyn: “That you’re banned from ringside.”

CHBK: “Who would’ve thought that a sixty year old man would be so scary.”

Ravyn: “It’s fine. I almost prefer it this way.”

CHBK: “I know. But it’s good to know you don’t need to worry about Dustin.”

Ravyn: “Never did. Just now I can just enjoy myself and remind our boss that now that I am champion, I have no intention of losing it without a significant challenge. Andrew thinks brass was against him. Well, if true, I’m sure what awaits me will eclipse whatever was done to end his reign. And I look forward to it.”

CHBK: “Of course…we’ve planned for it.”

Ravyn smiles as the crowd boos as we then cut to ringside.

Chance of Pain vs. Lohan Country

“Uncomfortable” by Halestorm starts to play and the crowd cheers a bit. A few moments pass before we see spotlights shine to the entrance way where Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner step out and look down at the ring. The crowd roars.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from New York City, New York, she is the Serial Thrilla, Crissy Gardner and her partner, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, she is the Rogue Element, Sam Raine! They are Chance of Pain!”

Crissy poses a bit as Sam goes to the opposite side of the ring and goes to the corner. Crissy hops onto the ring and steps back to the corner.

Sharper: “Chance of Pain were impressive in the Chamber Match. Helping eliminate Har Megiddo. Then eliminating Red Empire before the Trueloves took over. But they’re looking to do more.”

Knots: “Like beating the former champions!”

We hear the sound of a motorcycle revving. A few moments pass before “Wreaking Havoc” by Skylar Grey starts to play. We then see Abigail Lindsay riding out from the back on a motorcycle and stopping at the top of the stage. She looks around and briefly takes off her helmet before nodding and looking around.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, from Los Angeles, California, she is Abigail Lindsay!”

The music then cuts out before we hear “Confident” by Demi Lovato starts to play. The crowd cheers loudly as Abigail glances back and a few moments pass before we see Dawn Lohan walk out from the back and look around. She smiles before turning to Abigail and nodding. Abigail then turns and puts her helmet back on before turning and grabbing a second helmet, hooked to the motorcycle and extending it to her sister. Dawn smiles as she walks over and grabs it.

Phillips: “And her partner, from San Diego, California, she is Ms. Wonderful, Dawn Lohan. Together, they are Lohan Country!”

The crowd cheers as Dawn’s music continues to play and Dawn gets on the back of Abigail’s motorcycle. Abigail revs the engine and then starts to ride down the rampway and over to the ring. The crowd roars as she drives down, gaining some speed before stopping at the ringside area. She then starts to slowly guide the bike around the ring, driving it around the ringside area.. Dawn hops off and takes off her helmet. She turns and rolls into the ring. She gets up as the crowd cheers. Abigail takes her helmet off before turning and following her sister. Abigail goes to the corner and looks around as Dawn does the same. They hop down as their music fades out.

Sharper: “This will be interesting for Lohan Country. Abigail Lindsay wanting to have some fun at Bree Lancaster’s expense. That didn’t happen. Dawn wanting to stand out on her own. But they’re drawn into this one.”

Knots: “The joys of being former champions. And Sam and Crissy have some history with the Lohan family so it all just came together there.”

The bell sounds as Abigail starts off for Lohan Country. Sam Raine starts for Chance of Pain. The crowd roars as the two then circle and lock-up in the middle of the ring.

Andrew Raynes vs. Ravyn Taylor

SCW Adrenaline Championship

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes appear through the smoke, his head shifted towards the ring, focused, a cold stare. He stands there for a few seconds still looking around, devoid of the fans. He starts walking slowly with a cold stare in his eyes.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship! First, the challenger, from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, he is Andrew Raynes!”

As he continues to look focused, he makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the fans. He walks down towards the ring where he slides in under the bottom rope. He pops up in the middle of the ring and looks around.

Knots: “I’m not used to this sight!”

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes challenging for the Adrenaline Championship. His first match not as the Adrenaline Champion since Retribution. Could get it back tonight. Ravyn Taylor though, always a wildcard.”

Knots: “At least CHBK is banned. So that’s one thing.”

Sharper: “So is Dustin Adams!”

Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word “NEVERMORE”. With that we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes.

“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”

The song gets stuck on the word, and is then interrupted by the deep sound of the voice of Marilyn Manson.

“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face. The SCW Adrenaline Championship is around her waist. She’s dressed in ring gear that includes her normal ring jacket covering a small, revealing bra top and a pair of skin tight hot-pants with the words “BAD GIRL” across the back. She stops on the stage, twirling for the camera almost mockingly.

Phillips: “His opponent, representing Dark Fantasy, from Malibu, California, the SCW Adrenaline Champion, she is the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor.”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments she starts to make her way down to ringside and then steps up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the apron before vaulting over the top turnbuckle and rolling back to her feet. Ravyn walks over to the far corner of the ring, stepping on to the middle turnbuckle and removes her ring jacket, looking down at herself with a look of admiration before stepping off the turnbuckle again. She folds the jacket up and places it in the corner before dropping to a seated position, looking up at the referee and shaking her head as he tries to tell her to get to her feet so he can pat her down. Instead she just ushers him away, extending her Adrenaline Championship before handing him the title. Andrew Raynes pacing across the ring. The official raises the title over his head as the SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. Ravyn looks across at Raynes.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor her usual confident self. First title defense.”

Knots: “And first match with her knowing full well that her plan worked. She wanted the title for a year she said. I don’t doubt it.”

Sharper: “And in the process, she is the only person to hold every active title in SCW history today, and also the SCW Women’s Championship.”

The bell sounds. Ravyn steps out as Andrew Raynes storms over to Ravyn and Ravyn ducks a hard right attempt. She backs up and over to the ropes. Raynes turns and follows up and goes for another hard right, but Ravyn ducks and spins around. She jogs off, laughing. Raynes then heads at Ravyn and goes for another hard right, but Ravyn ducks and Raynes turns around and Ravyn nails him with a forearm shot before stepping back. Raynes lunges and moves after Ravyn and grabs her by the leg. Ravyn however hooks the bottom rope. Ravyn wags her finger as the referee calls for the break.

Raynes shrugs and goes for a hard right. Ravyn ducks and kicks him in the ribs. She then spins to the apron. Raynes turns and grabs at her, but Ravyn grabs him and hits a guillotine drop. Raynes falls back and falls to a knee. Ravyn then turns and climbs to the top rope.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor is frustrating Andrew Raynes at every turn here!”

Knots: “Yeah! But what happens when Raynes finally gets her. He’s been angrier and angrier. This is like poking a bear.”

Sharper: “I’m sure Ravyn is thinking about just that. She’s now on the top rope!”

Raynes gets up and Ravyn jumps off and hits a crossbody.

Raynes kicks out. Ravyn rolls over to the ropes. Raynes rolls over and gets up and runs at Ravyn and Ravyn pulls down on the top rope and Raynes goes up and over the top rope and lands on the floor. He rolls over and smacks the mats as Ravyn backs up and smirks. Raynes turns and slides into the ring. He gets up and slides back in. Ravyn promptly hits a dropkick. Raynes hits the mat and Ravyn goes for the pin.

Raynes kicks out and grabs at the arm of Ravyn as she rolls away. She gets up and turns and runs into the ropes. Raynes gets up and Raynes runs at Ravyn. Ravyn runs past him and Raynes bounces off the ropes as Ravyn gets to the ropes. She stops. Raynes runs at her and Ravyn again pulls down the top rope. Raynes goes up and over, but this time, ends up on the apron. Ravyn pops up and Raynes grabs her by the head and pulls her over the top rope and dumping her to the floor. Ravyn rolls over.

Sharper: “Raynes just muscling Ravyn over and she just dumped on the ground.”

Knots: “He’s riled up and after Ravyn humiliating him by making him run around trying to get her, just too much.”

Sharper: “And Ravyn may be about to regret poking the bear!”

Raynes moves to the corner as Ravyn gets up and Raynes runs along the apron and hits a sliding knee, nailing Ravyn in the jaw. She hits the mats and rolls over. Raynes then looks at the official before looking out at the crowd before hopping down to the floor. Ravyn starts to get up and Raynes nails her with a hard right to the ribs before lifting her up and turning and dropping her chest first on the barricade. She stumbles back and to the apron, falling to a knee. Raynes then forces her up and pushing her into the ring. He rolls in after. Ravyn rolls over and Raynes turns and grabs the top rope and stomps her in the chest and then again and again and again. Ravyn rolls over to the apron and out of the ring to the floor. She falls to the barricade.

Sharper: “Raynes showing that mean-streak, that drive, that anger, using it against Ravyn Taylor. Bringing her back in and then Ravyn forced to go to the floor to get the distance.”

Knots: “And in Adrenaline rules matches, no countout, and Raynes would know that!”

Andrew Raynes then steps through the ropes and down to the floor. He grabs Ravyn and pulls her up and knees her in the ribs. Ravyn falls to her hands and knees. The referee tells him to get into the ring. Andrew Raynes tells him off before spinning Ravyn around and placing her head between his legs. He then hoists her up for a powerbomb. He steps forward, but Ravyn twists back and frankensteiner’s him face first into the ringpost. He stumbles forward and down to the mats. Ravyn starts to get up and winces before turning and grabbing at the ring apron and rolling in.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes was going to powerbomb Ravyn, I assume, into that ringpost, but Ravyn takes him over and he goes face first.”

Knots: “Barely got his hands up in time.”

Ravyn looks at Andrew Raynes as he staggers up to his feet and Ravyn runs at him and hits a baseball slide. Raynes falls back and into the announce table. The crowd cheers a bit. Ravyn then rolls to the apron. She stands up as Andrew steps forward and Ravyn hits a double axe handle smash. Andrew falls to a knee. Ravyn drags him up and rolls him into the ring. He rolls over and Ravyn slides in and runs over and hits a stomp to the face. Raynes rolls over, seething. Ravyn then turns and runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a basement dropkick. She goes for the pin.

Raynes kicks out. She rolls off and turns and gets up as Raynes rolls over and grabs at the ropes.

Sharper: “Only two. Not probably what Ravyn wanted.”

Knots: “Better have another plan.”

Sharper: “I’m sure she does. But Andrew Raynes is hoping to brute force it and frankly, as he’s shown, it may not be the worst plan. Just has to avoid Ravyn chaining some moves or having the room to maneuver! Like right now!”

Raynes turns and Ravyn kicks him in the ribs. She forearms him in the jaw and then grabs his arm. She goes to run past him for an single-arm straight-jacket neckbreaker, but Raynes spins through and holds on and pulls her back in and into a huge spinebuster. The crowd ohs. Raynes rolls through for the pin.

Ravyn kicks out. Raynes rolls off and smirks before Ravyn rolls over. Raynes then pulls her up and drags her to her feet before hoisting her up and hitting a snap back suplex. Raynes gets up and hits an elbow drop. He then gets up again before watching Ravyn as Ravyn slowly rolls over. Ravyn looks around and Raynes just stomp her in the head before she can even react. She rolls over and Raynes grabs her and drags her up before hoisting her up and hitting a sidewalk slam. He pulls back on her leg again for the pin.

Ravyn gets her shoulder up. Raynes then gets up. Ravyn rolls over and Raynes turns back to her and grabs her before whipping her across and into the corner. He runs after her and nails her with a running clothesline. Ravyn grimaces and falls to the mat.

Sharper: “Raynes! Full-speed into the corner!”

Knots: “Ravyn Taylor may have made history, but she’s set Andrew Raynes off completely! Hope it was worth it!”

Sharper: “And with both Dustin Adams and CHBK banned or their respectively ally would be disqualified, Ravyn has to figure this one out herself! Not saying that she can’t. She’s proven more than capable in the past, but it removes an option!”

Raynes just looks out at the crowd smiling before he turns and exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. Ravyn starts to get up. Raynes then dives off and hits a knee to the face of Ravyn, knocking her down. He follows up with the pin.

Ravyn gets her shoulder up. Raynes looks up and turns and drags Ravyn up to her feet. He then turns clubs her in the back. She collapses to the mat. Raynes pull her up and whips her across and into the ropes. She bounces off and Raynes goes to lift her up, but Ravyn spins around and lands behind him before pulling back on his hair and head and hitting a neckbreaker. Raynes rolls over in pain. He holds his head and neck, annoyed, and starts to get up. Ravyn pulls herself up and turns and runs at him and hits the Survival Instinct. The crowd ohs and Raynes rolls to his back. Ravyn rolls to follow up before stopping and rolling away.

Sharper: “Ravyn first with the neckbreaker and then the Survival Instinct.”

Knots: “Can’t take advantage.”

Sharper: “Started to roll toward Raynes, but rolling away, maybe for distance.”

She crawls to the corner and starts to get up. Raynes winces and rolls over. He staggers to his feet and steps forward only for Ravyn to run across and nails him with the Black Plume. The crowd ohs and Ravyn spins off and down to the mat. Ravyn goes for the pin and hooks the leg.

Raynes gets his shoulder up. The crowd roars. Ravyn rolls off and starts to get up and turns and stomps Raynes in the back of the head and then again and again. Raynes rolls over to the ropes. He starts to pull himself up and Ravyn backs up before spinning through and hitting a forearm to the back of his head. Raynes falls into the corner. Ravyn backs up and Raynes turns and glares at her, seething before lunging at her with a hard right, but Ravyn jumps up and catches his arm and starts to go for the Memento Mori!

Sharper: “Ravyn still thinking! Lulled him into the Memento Mori! She’s going to try and choke him out!”

Knots: “Raynes walked right into it!”

Raynes tries to fight as Ravyn tries to get her legs around his head. She succeeds, but Raynes tries to get his arm out, but Ravyn holds on and tries to keep on before Raynes steps forward. The crowd roars as Ravyn keeps trying to lock it in only for Raynes to hoist her up. The crowd roars as Raynes then throws her down with a release powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Ravyn rolls over in pain. She gets up and Raynes steps to the ropes, holding his throat before looking at her and Ravyn gets to her feet only for Raynes to run forward and hit the Syndicate. The crowd ohs. He turns and hooks the leg.

Ravyn kicks out. Raynes turns away, taking a moment before looking over to Ravyn. He then gets up and steps over and watches Ravyn as she stirs. Raynes waits for it, extending his arms as Ravyn pulls herself to her feet. Raynes lunges and goes for a half nelson. He tries to pull her back into a half nelson choke, but Ravyn manages to keep her feet forward, avoiding the body scissors. Raynes tries to pull her up, but Ravyn repositions before falling forward. Raynes staggers too, such that when Raynes recovers, Ravyn jumps up and pushes off the top rope and rolls through into a pin.

Raynes lets go and kicks out. Both roll away from one another.

Sharper: “Another nearfall as this time Ravyn counters Raynes!”

Knots: “Should’ve been a break off the top rope, right?!”

Sharper: “Referee’s call there and Raynes let go and kicked out in time!”

Both get up and Raynes goes for a clothesline, but Ravyn ducks and Raynes nails the official. The crowd ohs and boos as Raynes just looks at the official with an annoyed look before stomping him in the back in anger before turning and Ravyn jumps up for the Evolutionary Synthesis, but Raynes pushes her off. She lands on her feet and Raynes grabs her and hits a side belly to belly suplex. Raynes then turns and drives his elbow into her. Ravyn remains down. Raynes rolls over and goes to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope and looks at Ravyn with a smirk. Ravyn remains down.

Sharper: “Referee is down, but that’s not stopping Andrew Raynes! Going to the top!”

Knots: “Going to the top and looking to end this reign right now!”

Raynes gets to the top and starts to stand up as the crowd roars. The camera angle changes as we see Marie Jones climbing over the barricade. She then runs up the steel steps behind Raynes and then pushes him off. Raynes falls from the top rope and lands face first in the ring. The referee is starting to get up, turned away from Raynes as Ravyn starts to stir. Marie just walks around the ring and starts to head to the entrance way.

Sharper: “Marie Jones! From the crowd! She just knocked Raynes off!”

Knots: “Why?!”

Raynes slowly pulls himself up and Ravyn jumps up and hits the Evolutionary Synthesis. The crowd ohs and boos and Ravyn goes over and hooks the leg. The referee turns and counts.

The crowd roars as Raynes throws an arm up, but far too late. Marie just smiles as she heads to the back. Ravyn rolls off.

Phillips: “Here is your winner and still SCW Adrenaline Champion, Ravyn Taylor!”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Ravyn rolls off.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor retained!”

Knots: “Marie with the assist. Did CHBK pay her off? Is this just revenge?”

Sharper: “We’re going to have to find out, but the story right now is that thanks to Marie Jones’ assist, Ravyn Taylor is still the Adrenaline Champion and Andrew Raynes is only going to be more pissed off!”

Dustin Adams storms out of the back as Marie then steps forward as we see officials run out after him and they get between him and Marie. Marie just backs up and starts to goad Adams as Adams tries to go after Marie. Ravyn gets up, the referee handing her the title as Ravyn holds it up. The camera focuses on her for a few moments before we cut to the stage to see Adams trying to get to Marie as the scene fades out.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown…”

A shot of Sienna Swann posing in the ring is shown before we see shots of Ace Marshall backstage holding his phone.

Voice: “In non-title action, Sienna Swann faces Ace Marshall in the main event. But also…”

Trinity Street and Kennedy Street are shown standing together on the floor last week before cutting to show Giovanni Aries rolling out of the ring as smoke billows in the ring and Selena runs down from the back.

Voice: “Trinity Street and Kennedy Street team up in SCW against Har Megiddo. Giovanni Aries is in action against Aaron Blackbourne and Selena Frost is looking to confront him. All that and more as Breakdown comes to you from Sydney, Australia!”

Shots of Aaron Blackbourne, Bianca Evans, the Stewards, and the Beauty Factory come up before the Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene opens up inside the SCW Studios in Toronto as “Immortals” plays in the background. The camera pans down to show Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Toronto. We will take you back to Sydney shortly. Intermission going on there. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters back in SCW’s home base and Ravyn Taylor still the SCW Adrenaline Champion.”

Winters: “She has a horseshoe up her ass or something. She’s lucky in some ways that she got through that, but I can’t say that’s all. It’s Ravyn Taylor. She’s one of the best strategists in that ring and Andrew Raynes fought with her every step. She tried to figure out a way to get him to almost out-anger himself, but that didn’t work and when Andrew Raynes was on the offense, Ravyn Taylor struggled.”

Spirit: “Struggled, and even an errant clothesline wasn’t enough to stop Raynes. The talk now will be that Raynes could very well be the Adrenaline Champion. Then again, that’s what some people were saying out of Under Attack. But instead of Christy Matthews, who’s not on this tour, or CHBK, who was banned from ringside, it was Marie Jones!”

Winters: “And the question now is whether that was Marie Jones operating alone or did CHBK or Ravyn pay her off. I know there’s history there. Even last week. Andrew Raynes attacked her during her match with Dustin Adams and Marie and Andrew’s careers have been intertwined, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly since June.”

Spirit: “When Marie Jones, some would say, nearly won the Adrenaline Championship.”

Winters: “Exactly. So that’s an interesting turn of events. I expect Andrew Raynes to be quite pissed off. You wonder what’s next there.”

Spirit: “Well we may have an answer. Dustin Adams and Andrew Raynes are off in their locker room, but Jessica Winters is standing by with Marie Jones. Jessica…”

The scene cuts backstage to the inside of the Qudos Bank Arena where Marie Jones stands with Jessica Winters.

Jessica: “Thank you Spirit. Marie, you ran out and attacked Andrew Raynes. You arguably cost him the Adrenaline Championship tonight. I have to ask this question…did Dark Fantasy put you up to this?”

Marie scoffs.

Marie: “No. Trust me, even if they did, I’d still be doing this for myself. This was all me. This was simply my opportunity to dish out some karma. See, when Andrew Raynes lost the Adrenaline Championship, I smiled. I’ll admit I’m not a huge fan of Ravyn Taylor in any case, but I have no care for Andrew Raynes. Let’s go back to June of this year when I had him beat for the Adrenaline Championship. Dylan Howell came out and instead of my getting my rematch, instead of him offering me one, I had to watch him go on to face Dylan Howell, but also listen to him talk about how I never would’ve won. How he was better than me. I had to hear him time and time again talk about how he was the longest reigning current champion in SCW when we all know that if Dylan had not been there, he’d be just bitching like he was last week. When, oh yeah…yet again, he attacked me just because he felt he could.”

Marie looks at Jessica and shrugs.

Marie: “And so I returned the favour. Just as he attacked me last week, I gave him a touch of karma tonight. And just as I was screwed out of a title shot and if he was this great champion, he could’ve given me the rematch. He instead used it as a chance to run me down because he could. Well, Andrew, you’re not the longest reigning current champion in SCW anymore. You’re not even a champion anymore. And you can blame me, but let’s be honest, you did this all to yourself. But…”

Marie holds her finger up.

Marie: “If you want to try and face me and finally have that rematch…I’m not going to turn it down.”

Marie turns to Jessica.

Jessica: “Thank you for your comments. Spirit…”

We then cut back to Toronto. Spirit turns to Shawn.

Shawn: “For months she was unsure of what to do. That’s the most decisive I’ve seen her in months. She knew exactly what she planned to do. She was waiting for her shot and Andrew Raynes, yeah, I buy that. He did do that to himself. He wanted to take out Dylan. He ignored Marie. I heard every time when he talked about how he was champion. That’s just going to rub it in her face.”

Spirit: “And also why she didn’t wait for him to win the title. She wanted to make sure that he came that close before it was all taken away, just like what happened to her.”

Spirit shakes her head.

Shawn: “Just wait until Andrew hears that interview.”

Spirit: “Not going to be happy at all.”

The camera then focuses on Spirit.

Spirit: “Meanwhile, half the roster is in Australia and will continue to New Zealand and South Africa, but the other half is Europe right now and next week, they will be on Breakdown, spotlighted and a number of big matches taking place there.

A still of Ikiro Yoshida vs. Cassidy Carter comes up on the screen.

Spirit: “We already heard from Cassidy earlier. We know Sienna Swann also has called Ikiro. This match taking on an additional dimension. Cassidy Carter faces Ikiro Yoshida.”

Winters: “Ikiro is wrapped around Sienna Swann’s finger, but Cassidy Carter is looking to rip some things up, change things up in her favour and that could be one of the more intriguing matches on the show next week.”

A still of Syren vs. Christy Matthews then comes up.

Spirit: “You wonder what Christy Matthews thinks about what we just saw. Well, she’ll face off against Syren in singles action. Two former World Champions. A lot of history there with the connections to Immortal. Now the rivalry between Ravyn and Christy.”

Winters: “Add that Syren can’t be happy about the situation with Blake Mason and Cassidy Carter getting a title shot. Christy’s going to be angry.”

Next, Damian Angel vs. Donovan Kayl comes up on the screen.

Spirit: “And, a steel cage match. Donovan Kayl will face Damian Angel. Har Megiddo will not be a factor. Neither will Trinity and Kennedy Street. They’re both in Australia, in fact, to face each other next.”

Winters: “No one is running. No interference. This should be violent. Should be bloody. Should have finality. Donovan Kayl targeted by Damian Angel, going after the cornerstone of professional wrestling. Donovan Kayl isn’t ready to be taken out.”

Spirit: “That’s all next week, along with the TV Championship on the line. Konrad Raab makes his first defense as the new champion in his home continent and against Derek Adonis. That and much more next week, but in a few moments, we’ll take you back to Sydney, Australia for Breakdown. Sienna and Ace still to come. Giovanni Aries in action. Selena Frost wants him and next, Trinity and Kennedy Street team to face Har Megiddo. Breakdown returns after this!”

“Immortals” plays as the camera pans up and we cut to a shot of the inside of the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney as fans return to their seats and the scene fades to black.

Trinity Street & Kennedy Street vs. Har Megiddo

“Awake & Alive” plays throughout the arena. The lights go out. The video package plays on the Tron of Kennedy Street Posing and wrestling, then Trinity in her Monarchy days, posing on the top rope and followed by action in the ring. The two sisters then stand all posing in front of the camera before the chorus plays on the entrance theme, it then starts to play each of them in action performing their finishers on various opponents.

A single spotlight shines in the entranceway as both Kennedy and Trinity Street come out to the roar of the fans. The two poses in front of the entranceway looking out to the fans stoically while a chorus of cheers rain down on them. A shower of fireworks streams down behind them before they slowly make their way to the ring, Kennedy clapping hands with fans and taking selfies, Trinity keeping her eye on the ring though taking time to slap a few hands.

Phillips: “The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Malibu, California, The “Sexy Flawless Diva” Kennedy Street, “The Champion of Champions” Trinity Street….. they are the Street Legacy!”

As they reach the apron. Trinity goes up first and holds the ropes open for Kennedy as she steps in first followed by Trinity. The elder Trinity takes the hood off her coat and climbs the second rope raising her arms in the air while Kennedy does the same with her hood and is on the opposite rope following her older sister.

Trinity back flips off, Kennedy jumps down and rolls to her feet as she takes off her coat, Trinity returns the gesture as the two begin to talk strategy and prepare for their opponents, Har Megiddo…..

Sharper: “Welcome back to Sydney, Australia and what an ovation for the Street Legacy, two sisters that are teaming up for the very first time in their careers here in Australia and the fans absolutely love them! It is a tall order though, they are facing the monsters, Har Megiddo, the children of the Devil himself, Damian Angel who Kennedy and Trinity are no strangers to, Jon.”

Knots: “This match has a thin line drawn and let’s forget about the repercussions here for a moment, Kennedy and Trinity are a tag team for the first time ever, this is huge! My wife, my sister-in-law, for them it’s a dream come true and yes Adam you’re right, Har Megiddo, Damian Angel, this is extremely personal, and hits close to home. Look at them! Beautiful! I’m excited, it’s Kennie and Trinity!”

The opening of “Davidian” by Machine Head begins to play as Behemoth, Malphas, and Kali emerge from the back. They push and shove each other, yelling “encouragement” as they move down the ramp.

Phillips: “And their opponents, at a total combined weight of 605 lbs.! Accompanied to the ring by Kali! Behemoth and Malphas…. Har Megiddo!”

Behemoth steps over the ropes, Kali stays on the outside, Malphas slides in the ring, running around. Trinity and Kennedy are on the defense stance ready to fight, standing their ground….

Sharper: “They are downright scary. You can see it in the face of Trinity and Kennedy, standing there trying to size them up and while this is the first time the sisters have teamed, Har Megiddo has been dominant in the ranks, all you have to do is watch the Elimination Chamber and how it took all the tag teams to eliminate them. The Street’s better watch out and the unstable Kali is on the outside.”

Knots: “They have prepared for this moment, Trinity told me that her last few months in the SCW before she left were not going to define who she was, you don’t understand how important this is to her and Kennedy, neither does Har Megiddo, it could be King Kong and Godzilla…”

Sharper: “It is Kong and Zilla!”

Knots: “Shut up Sharper, don’t interrupt me! Kennedy and Trinity are ready for this challenge, they are going to come out on top, come on Kennie! Come on sis!”

The referee checks on both teams and calls for the bell, Kennedy starts off with Malphas, circling the ring, he laughs a little and walks up to her, she backs up some as he tries to grab her but Kennedy is too quick, ducking out of the way, he turns around and is met with a dropkick, staggering him a little, Kennedy runs to the ropes and slides under his legs, he turns only for her to deliver a forearm smash after another before finishing with another dropkick sending him into the ropes and then a Hurricarana on the bounce back as the crowd roars and Kennedy jumps back up. Trinity cheers on her sister as Malphas gets up slamming the mat and again circling the ring, Kali tries to get on the apron but Kennedy rushes her causing Kali to jump back down giving Malphas the opening and attacking Kennedy from behind with repeated forearms, he Irish Whips her but she reverses, Trinity kicks Malphas in the back of the head, he turns around quickly giving Kennedy the chance for a quick School Boy into the bridge….

2!

Malphas kicks out!

He gets up shocked as Kennedy gets to her corner and taunts him to come at her….

Sharper: “The key to the Streets is speed, we are seeing that right now but if they are caught like we saw earlier, anything can happen and if Har Megiddo is allowed to use their strength, this could be a very short night for Trinity and Kennedy.”

Knots: “These are two of the fastest women in wrestling, they are also two of the most talented. Guess what else Sharper? They are smart, those two ugly, hairy beasts? Are not!”

Malphas runs at Kennedy who steps to the side and pushes him into the turnbuckle, she tags in Trinity as the crowd roars, Kennedy twists the arm of Malphas, Trinity comes off the second rope with a knee, she then rolls him up for the cover…

Malphas kicks out!

Trinity whips Malphas against the ropes but he reverses, she hops on the ropes and flies back with a body press but he catches her, he walks around laughing when suddenly Kennedy dropkicks the back of Trinity causing him to fall back for a cover…

3… No! Malphas Kicks Out!

Trinity points at Kennedy, tagging her quickly, they wait until Malphas gets up, they both kick him in the stomach and try for a double suplex but Malphas forces the two sisters up and suplexes them hard on the mat. Trinity tires to get up but Kali drags her out of the ring and throws her into the barricade, the referee didn’t catch that as his attention was on Kennedy and Malphas as he tags the big man in, Behemoth. The crowd Oh’s and ah’s…

Knots: “Come on! Pay attention referee! Kali threw Trinity against the barricade! Oh Kennie…. Get out of the ring!”

Sharper: “The big man is tagged in and this doesn’t look good for Kennedy, Jon!”

Knots: “I’m sorry, I can’t call this match without being biased!”

Sharper: “You’re finally admitting it?”

Knots: “Don’t press me, Adam, I’m a nervous wreck right now!”

Behemoth comes in, he picks up Kennedy by the hair and lifts her up in a gorilla press slam, walking around and showing off but Kennedy wiggles out of it, she lands on her feet, runs against the ropes, Behemoth turns around and is met with a Sunset Flip, the crowd screams as Behemoth looks down at Kennedy and smirks, he then drops but Kennedy gets out at the last second, Behemoth lands flat on the mat, Kennedy runs against the ropes and hits a basement dropkick on the big man! She jumps on him for the cover…

Behemoth launches Kennedy off causing her to land on her feet. Wide-eyed she waits until he turns around, she chops him, the crowd woo’s as Behemoth just laughs, Kennedy chops him again, Trinity gets up and on the outside and tries to make it to the corner. Kennedy runs against the ropes and Behemoth quickly smothers her with a tackle. The crowd boos, Behemoth bounces off the ropes and drops an elbow on Kennedy’s chest, she screams in pain. He stands up and does it again, this time covering her for the pinfall….

Kennedy gets a Shoulder Up!

Behemoth stands up and picks up Kennedy by the hair, Kali slams on the mat, Malphas cheers him on. Behemoth picks her up in a bear hug and starts swings left and right tossing Kennedy like a rag doll. The referee tries to see if she loses consciousness, starting to go limp, Trinity finally gets to the corner, she screams for Kennedy to tag. The crowd roars as the referee checks her arm, it drops once….

It drops twice….

Knots: “Come on Kennie! He’s crushing my wife!”

Sharper: “Go in there and save her!”

Knots: “Yeah…. Come on Trinity get in there!”

Sharper: “Really!?”

Knots: “I’m calling the match damn it!”

The referee lifts her arm to drop for a third time, but she holds it up as the crowd cheers. Kali gets up on the apron, the referee tells her to get down but before he can, Trinity drags her down and throws her right into the steel post. Trinity hops back to her corner and yells at Kennedy to tag, the Sexy Flawless Diva tries to fight out of it, she slaps her arms together ringing the ears of Behemoth, he drops her for a moment, she crawls under his legs and tags Trinity! The crowd roars, she runs in and forearms the monster repeatedly, he staggers back, Malphas blind tags, she doesn’t see it, bouncing back against ropes and charging at Behemoth but Malphas cuts her off with a clothesline! The crowd boos as Trinity flipped over. Behemoth hits a leg drop before getting up and telling Malphas to go for the pin, he hooks her leg and the referee goes for the count…

Sharper: “Those moves have finished so many opponents, this monster isn’t falling off his feet! This man is inhuman!”

Knots: “Come on Kennedy and Trinity! Keep kicking him until he falls! The referee has lost complete control of this!”

Kennedy and Trinity look at one another, they shrug their shoulders, nodding and at the same time hit Behemoth with A Touch of Class and House of Street kicks, the monster finally falls through the ropes as the crowd roars…..

Knots: “Yes! They knocked him down!”

Sharper: “Malphas is getting up!”

As Malphas gets to his feet, Kennedy and Trinity both kick him in the stomach, he buckles down, Trinity locks in They Kingdom Come and drops him with the DDT! Malphas bounces off and doesn’t get a chance to react as Kennedy hits the Pedicure. The crowd erupts as she then stands by Trinity who drops for the cover….

Knots: “They have him down, Sharper! How fast was that!?”

Sharper: “The Streets needed to use their speed and I don’t think Behemoth is getting in there, he’s the cover!”

The referee drops for the count….

1!

The bell rings as Trinity rolls off and Kennedy drops on top of her smothering her with a hug. The crowd explodes in cheers….

Phillips: “The winners of the match, Kennedy and Trinity Street, The Street Legacy!”

“Awake and Alive” play throughout the arena, Kennedy stands up and helps up Trinity, the referee raises their hands as the crowd roars. Malphas rolls out of the ring, Behemoth picks him up and starts to take him to the back with Kali in tow. Trinity and Kennedy get out of the ring and celebrate with Knots and Sharper….

Knots: “They did it and this is how we celebrate!”

Sharper: “A huge victory for these two beautiful young women, Har Megiddo came to destroy, their speed and experience was just too much!”

Knots: “A debut and first win! They love us here!”

Sharper: “You mean them!”

Knots: “Don't be jealous!’

Trinity slaps some high fives with the fans, Kennedy gets on the announce table and points to the crowd as they cheer. Trinity continues to interact with the fans as Kennedy celebrates with Sharper and Knots.

Breakdown returns as we see a panning shot of the crowd before cutting to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Sydney, Australia. It’s been a great show so far. Ravyn Taylor still the Adrenaline Champion. Trinity Street and Kennedy Street getting a win over Har Megiddo. Could be a sign that Damian Angel’s plans may not be as well-oiled. The Street Legacy on fire.”

Knots: “On fire and they’ve been waiting for that for a long time and I hope we get to see that again.”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, there’s another team we have our eye on. After last week’s Breakdown before they left on tour, the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside engaged in some training sessions.”

Knots: “Oh this is going to be great!”

Sharper: “We assumed that we were not going to get footage, but someone who apparently was at the AnteUp Academy, where Bree and Scott were training, managed to get some footage. We apologize for the shakiness at points and even some other information, but it appears that the anxiety for Scott is ramping up. Take a look.”

The Breakdown logo comes across the screen.

We see a focusing shot of a ring, appearing to be shot from a distance, we see Bree with a pad in her hand. We then see Scott throwing a punch, nearly tripping over his feet.

Bree: “Relax. Just stop. Focus…you can do this. Focus on the pad. Pretend this is someone who ripped a shirt of mine.”

Scott nods and takes a deep breath before letting out a yell and throwing a punch. He hits the wrist of Bree and Bree pulls away and Scott stumbles forward into the ropes.

Scott: “Breezy…Breezy! Oh god…”

Bree: “Relax…it’s fine…”

Bree can be seen grimacing in pain. She grits her teeth. We hear some chuckling from behind the camera.

Male voice: “Dude…this is priceless.”

Female voice: “And they’re champs?”

Male: “Yup.”

Female laughter. The camera phone comes down before refocusing as Bree turns and moves to Scott.

Bree: “Just calm down. You’re riled up bec[inaudible]…match with Redemption. You were fine at End of the Year.”

Scott: “That was different. I wasn’t a focus, Breezy!”

Bree: “That’s why you’re going to learn to defend yourself. Here…”

Bree takes off the pad and turns and goes to Scott.

Bree: “Going to try a suplex. Just going to block it. No slamming. No anything. Just get used to how it feels.”

Female: “Can he even take a bump?”

Male: “I’m hoping he does.”

Bree locks up in a front facelock. The camera goes out of focus again before we hear another voice, one familiar to fans.

Matty: “Hey! You two…what are you doing?”

The camera goes down to the side, filming the leg of the female student presumably and a wall.

Male: “Nothing. Just watching. Figured we could learn something with a tag champ here.”

Matty: “Well you two are supposed to be training. This is private for them.”

Male: “You always say to take advantage of opportunities to learn.”

Female: “Yeah.”

Matty: “Just, give them their space!”

Steps can be heard before the filming ends. The films recovers as the camera shows Scott frustrated as Bree stretching her lower back.

Scott: “Look. I’m not naturally good for this! I’m a designer! I can manager. I’m not as good in the ring. Not natural like you!”

Bree: “Scott! You need to find confidence. You can do this. I wouldn’t have put you in my corner if not!”

Scott sighs.

Bree: “Look…let’s have some fun here!”

Bree walks over where a giant padded tackle dummy is and she pulls it away from the corner.

Bree: “We’re going to practice one of my finishers. You can hit that. It’s like tackling down someone going to rip a dress off a shelf or who treats me badly!”

Scott: “I guess. Can’t I just call security then?”

Bree sighs.

Bree: “Come on.”

Bree walks over and moves Scott in position.

Bree: “Sometimes I run at it, but if I want something a bit more sudden. I crouch down and leap. So you do that, just into the padded dummy. Need to get you having fun here.”

Scott: “Okay…okay…I can do this…”

Scott says nervously as he crouches down. He then gets ready, clearly ramping himself up before lunging. He hits the dummy, knocking it down, but his footing slips and he falls forward and through the ropes to the floor. Laughter can audibly be heard. The camera is moved down as Bree can be heard.

Bree: “Hey! The two of you. Screw off! This is private!”

Scott: “Breezy! I’m done! I’m done! I’m no good at this!”

The camera moves up as Bree is now looking at Scott as Scott storms off.

Bree: “Scott! You can do this! You were fine on New Year’s! You’re just nervous!”

Scott can be seen heading into an off-room. Bree just lets out an annoyed yell as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

The scene cuts to the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots laughing.

Knots: “This is amazing!”

Sharper: “Scott Burnside, not a trained wrestler, but clearly nerves getting to him. The anxiety coming from last week’s comments from Angelica, the pressure of being a champion.”

Knots: “Well who the hell wouldn’t have thought that? Bree picked him! Oh this is going to be hilarious when Bree and Scott have to go up against Redemption at Bound by Blood! Hope those kids at AnteUp learned plenty!”

Sharper: “Well we’ll see. But right now, and you’ll be interested in this, Jessica Winters is standing by with Trinity and Kennedy Street.”

The scene cuts backstage where Trinity Street and Kennedy Street are standing with Jessica Winters.

Jessica: “Thank you Adam and Trinity, Kennedy, a great performance and a big one. One that sends a big message to people in the back. You finally have an opportunity to team together and after a roller coaster of a last couple of months for you Kennedy and Trinity, you being involved in watching Kennedy and Donovan Kayl’s back, it had to be good to do what the two of you did in the ring.”

Kennedy: “Definitely Jessica and it hopefully will be a reminder to Damian Angel to stay away from me, from Trinity, from my family.”

Trinity: “If not…we may just kick his ass, but then again, Donovan Kayl has him next week.”

Kennedy: “And we know that Donovan will be ready for you Damian. But after tonight, I think we’re ready for some more. Right?”

Trinity: “Maybe we need to consider seeing whether the Tag Team Division could use a bit more competition and-“

???: “Oh no…I see how this is.”

The camera pans back as we see London and Paris Truelove coming over into the scene.

London: “All becomes clear.”

Paris: “You realize you could never match Sienna for the World Title, so you decide to enter our division.”

London: “It doesn’t need more competition. It just needs everyone to realize that we should have gotten our shot.”

Trinity: “And maybe you need to realize you blew it when Laura paid the Network to help you to make your lives easier.”

London: “Well funny enough…we made a similar payment.”

Paris: “Just as you hope Damian Angel and those big guys got the hint…maybe you two will too!”

Trinity glances behind her.

Knots: “Oh no…”

Just then LEO steps in and hits a quick thrust kick to the ribs as Dante and Budde move in and London and Paris both go for Kennedy. They kick her in the ribs and Kennedy covers up and Paris and London run over and kick away on Kennedy as she falls into a storage crate. Trinity turns into the interview set as she throws a hard right at Dante, but Budde nails her with a hard right and LEO then hits another kick to the ribs of Trinity and Trinity falls to the floor. Kennedy and Trinity try to fight back but quickly are overwhelmed.

Sharper: “The Network working again with the Trueloves! The addition of Xander, removal of Kane, the biggest factor and now they’re assaulting Trinity and Kennedy Street!”

Knots: “Get help!”

Sharper: “Trinity and Kennedy mentioning the Tag division and the Trueloves not interested in hearing that!”

Knots: “They planned this though. They planned this after the match earlier. That’s why they paid them. Trinity and Kennedy just gave them the reason!”

Trinity covers up as Dante and LEO take a few more shots. London catches Kennedy in the face with a shot and she drops to the floor as Paris kicks her a bit with soccer kicks before security and officials run into the scene. They start to pull the Network and Truelove Twins away from Trinity and Kennedy. The camera focuses on the two Streets as the crowd boos and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

MOMENTS AGO:

We see London and Paris Truelove standing across from Trinity and Kennedy Street backstage.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. The Truelove Twins asserted dominance in the tag division moments ago.”

The footage starts to play.

London: “Well funny enough…we made a similar payment.”

Paris: “Just as you hope Damian Angel and those big guys got the hint…maybe you two will too!”

Trinity glances behind her.

Knots: “Oh no…”

Just then LEO steps in and hits a quick thrust kick to the ribs as Dante and Budde move in and London and Paris both go for Kennedy. We cut forward to see London catching Kennedy with a kick to the face as she drops. Trinity is shown down as officials come in and the scene continues to play for a few moments. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We then cut backstage to see Selena Frost with Aaron Blackbourne in the tunnel.

Blackbourne: “Let me have my match. First match without Scarlet around. Please, Selena.”

Selena: “The moment it’s over. I’m taking care of my problem. Got it?”

Blackbourne: “Yeah.”

Blackbourne turns and heads off. Selena watches him leave before she turns and heads off.

Sharper: “Trueloves and the Network assaulting Trinity and Kennedy. And Selena, who is good friends with Kennedy, we now know where she is.”

Knots: “Someone needs to tell her.”

Sharper: “Blackbourne about to have a big match against Giovanni Aries.”

Giovanni Aries vs. Aaron Blackbourne

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

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first… hailing from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 175lbs… AARON BLACKBOURNE!”

he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in the same raised and outstretched pose as before, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead. There is a smile on his face leans back into the corner.

Knots: “He seems pretty relaxed. This is a big match for Aaron.”

Sharper: “He defeated a former SCW World Champion last week, Aaron proved no challenge is too great and this week, I think he is confident that he can knock off another big name.”

Knots: “This is Giovanni Aries we’re talking about.”

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Matinez begins to play as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of stage. He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before Sam walks over and pulls out a cigarette and lighter out of her cleavage and hands it to Giovanni Aries. He lights the cigarette and takes a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring.

Phillips: “And his opponent! Weighing in at 223 pounds, from Black Rock Desert, Nevada.. GIOVANNI ARIES!”

While walking to the ring he takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Giovanni Aries reaches ring side and looks out to the crowd and yells

"FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!!!"

He laughs hysterically before walking up the steps to the ring apron. He faces the crowd and hard camera as he throws his arms out making a cross while looking to the sky and slowly moves his left hand to his mouth takes a drag of his cigarette and blowing smoke into the air before flipping backwards into the ring where Sam is waiting. She takes off Giovanni fur jacket as Giovanni Aries grabs her and pulls her tight and proceeds to take another drag before blowing it into her waiting open mouth. Sam smiles as she exits the ring while Giovanni takes a seat on the nearby top turnbuckle and waits for the match to start.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries appeared out of nowhere, and attacked Owen Cruze at Under Attack. Appears to be targeting Selena Frost as well. Something to do with the lizard king and his neverending crusade against that man, whoever he might be.”

Knots: “We all heard Sam. It’s Mr. D! “

Sharper: “Despite all the talent in the world, Aries seems to be trying to ‘liberate’ people from the system, enlighten his opponents even. We’ll see if he can enlighten Aaron Blackbourne. At least we know Selena didn’t confront Giovanni as he headed to the ring.”

Giovanni Aries spins around one way and then another before settling down in a crouching position in front of Aaron. Aaron steps out of the corner, clapping his hands before planting them onto his knees. Bell rings and out of nowhere, Aaron launches him, in such short distance, flinging his body with a crossbody takedown attempt but Giovanni basically scrambles underneath, on his hands and knees before rolling forward. Aaron rolls to the bottom rope on the far side of the ring, starting to pull himself up. Aries waves to him, shouts something or another about following him. Aaron tilts his head, simply laughs off Aries as both men begin to circle. Both men rush each other, meeting to the center of the ring. Aaron attempts to get a high knee strike up against Giovanni but Giovanni spins out of the way. Aaron turns, but swings his elbow in a wide arc, forcing Aries to jump back. Both men stare at each other, and again, Aries motions to Aaron. Aaron shrugs before getting set into another position, ready to go on the attack.

Sharper: “No shots landed yet. Aries seems to be almost taunting Aaron.”

Knots: “Taunting or trying to open Aaron’s eyes?”

Sharper: “To what? But you have to give credit to Aaron. He’s calm. He’s relaxed. So far Giovanni’s mannerisms hasn’t affected his focus.”

Knots: “Maybe because he has his girlfriend with him tonight and no Scarlet!”

Sharper: “I bet not having Scarlet bothering him is a huge load off his shoulders.”

Aaron rushes forward again, feigns with an elbow and connects with a stiff kick to the midsection of Giovanni. Giovanni staggers to the side but absorbs the hit. Aaron swings another kick to the side and Aries catches the kick. Aaron spins around, trying to deliver a mule kick to Giovanni Aries but Aries drops down suddenly, locking in a grapevine and ankle lock and Aaron’s motion ends up having him landing awkwardly on his face. Giovanni twists Aaron’s ankle, asking whether Aaron serves the lizard king or if he serves himself. Aaron manages to prop himself up on his hands and ankles and rolls over, reaching out to grab the bottom rope and the referee calls for a rope break. Aries pauses on the break but releases the hold, muttering something about the referee.

Sharper: “Aries is giving Aaron some difficulty in the early moments.”

Knots: “He’s hard to predict. As a result, he’s hard to counter.”

Sharper: “Aaron showed some ring intelligence, finding that bottom rope to escape.”

Giovanni guides the referee out of the way as he watches Aaron nip to his feet. Giovanni shakes his head noticeable in Aaron’s direction as if disappointed. Aaron simply walks up to him, high roundhouse kick but Giovanni ducks underneath. Giovanni Aries goes to wag his finger at Aaron but he didn’t see the spinning wheel kick that followed up. Aries goes down to the canvas with the kick. As Aries on his back, Aaron runs over and leaps into the air, drops down onto Aries with a double foot stomp across the chest. Aries rolls over, holding his upper body. Aries tries to push himself to his feet but Aaron connects across his face with a dropkick. Aries scramble now, standing but falling backwards into the ropes, bouncing off there’s Aaron Blackbourne with a discus elbow smash to knock Giovanni off his feet. Aaron drops down onto Aries for the cover:

1…

2…

Aries throws up his shoulder.

Sharper: “Aaron managing to get in a barrage of hard strikes on his opponent. Aries might be taking him too lightly.”

Knots: “You never know if this all part of Giovanni’s plan or not. You never know what he’s thinking. He’s a maniac.”

Sharper: “I don’t think it’s a wise plan, playing into Aaron Blackbourne’s strengths. He’s a striker and any one of those hits could be a knockout blow. You never know.”

Aries crawls to the ropes, pulling himself up, shaking his head. He steps forward towards Aaron, trying to signal something to Aaron but Aaron doesn’t give him the time of day, instead he launches himself at his opponent. Creative Process’s first step is completed with a running front dropkick that delivers enough force to send Aries back into the turnbuckle. Aries slump down lower into almost a seated position, Blackbourne flies in with a double knee smash but Aries rolls out of the way. Both Blackbourne’s knees bounces off of bottom turnbuckle, slipping up onto the middle rope, wedging. Aries wags his finger this time before drilling a stiff loud kick across the spin, pushing Blackbourne’s mass further into the turnbuckle. Aaron begin to struggle to escape the awkward positioning, seeming to feel pain in his. As he slips one his limbs out free from the corner, he is blinded by Giovanni with a running cannonball splash. Aaron yells in pain, holding the knee of the leg still trapped in between the bottom rope and turnbuckle. He frees himself finally, stumbling to his feet and Aries slips in a half nelson and executes a half-nelson suplex on the spot. Cover:

1…

2…

Aaron kicks out.

Sharper: “A bid of bad luck there, Aaron somehow getting caught up in the turnbuckle, he’s favoring his legs. I’m not sure if it’s a knee, ankle, or some other kind of injury but Aaron looks like he’s hurting.”

Knots: “And that’s a big part of Aaron’s arsenal are those kicks of his. Props for Aries not relenting, he saw the vulnerability of Blackbourne and just attacked. Maybe he’s thinking Aaron is in league with the Lizard King.”

Aaron crawls to the ropes, starts to pull himself up. Giovanni throws him into the corner. Aries comes in, but Aaron manages to ducks underneath a clothesline attempt. Aries spins, stepup enzuigiri. Aries staggers, Aaron attempts an exploder suplex but Giovanni wraps his leg around Aaron’s to block the attempt and elbows Aaron in the throat. Slipping out of the hold, Giovanni swings Aaron’s head backwards to slam it onto the mat. Aaron rolls over onto his hands and knees, Giovanni reaches down and lifts for the deadlift german suplex, planting Aaron onto his head. He slides out underneath Blackbourne and hooks the leg:

1…

2…

Aaron shoots his shoulder up gain. This for some reason seems to infuriates Giovanni who pushes Aaron over and he begins to repeatedly stomp Aaron in the back of the head until the referee throws himself in between Aries and Blackbourne.

Knots: “Giovanni was triggered by something. I have no clue what.”

Sharper: “He’s bizarre and erratic, as usual.”

Aries steps away from Blackbourne and goes into the corner. He looks around at the crowd as if he has seen them for the first time, before he darts his eyes back towards Aaron. Then back towards the crowd. Then back towards Aaron. Aaron is trying to fight to his feet, trying to fight towards Aries. Aries decides to climb up onto the top rope and he stands there a moment, eying his target before turning around. At that moment, Aaron springs to his feet, leaps onto the second rope, linking up with a dragon suplex, which he releases half though to toss Aries onto the mat instead of breaking his neck.

Sharper: “The violence. Aaron upturned Aries world with that tiger suplex from the second rope.”

Knots: “As if Giovanni’s world isn’t upturned in the first place.”

Aaron climbs to his feet, tosses himself up onto the top rope. Aries is still laid out flat on his back. Moonsault delivered with beautiful arc lands completely onto Giovanni Aries. The pin:

1…

2…

3!

Aries kicks out at the last second. Referee tells Aaron. Aaron seems disappointed as he stumbles to his feet. But he falls back into the ropes, and watches Aries, not distracted a bit by his disappointment. Aries starts to pull himself up but before he has time to react, Aaron Blackbourne drills him with the Unchained Creativity! The crowd pops at the sight. Aaron rolls on the mat for a moment, favoring that knee, but only for a second before he rolls over onto Aries. He hooks the leg:

1…

2…

3!

Sharper: “He did it! Aaron scored another big win, talk about back-to-back big victories for Aaron Blackbourne. He has been absolute on fire this week and last!”

Blackbourne gets up ecstatic.

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

Sharper: “Two wins against former World Champions.”

Knots: “And one win without Scarlet Grey trying to get up all in that.”

Blackbourne has his arm raised as his music fades out. He then turns and goes to the corner and looks out at the crowd. Giovanni Aries remains down in the ring as Sam looks on. Blackbourne hops down and exits the ring. He goes to a few members of the crowd and smiles before starting to head to the back when we see Selena Frost walking out from the back. The crowd cheers as Selena walks down the rampway. Blackbourne looks at as she looks at him before Selena heads to the ring and hops onto the apron.

Sharper: “Selena Frost now here. Going to confront Giovanni Aries!”

Knots: “Giovanni’s still down though!”

Giovanni rolls over as Selena enters the ring. He looks over at Selena and stumbles to his hands and knees before starting to laugh. He then slowly stumbles to his feet and falls into the ropes as Selena just looks at him. Giovanni keeps laughing. Selena steps up and goes to grab him, but Giovanni suddenly grabs her wrist. He steps forward. The camera on the apron manages to pick up what he’s saying.

Giovanni: “Don’t you see this all. See it all crumbling. The two-facedness. Do you believe in him too?!”

Selena nails Giovanni with a hard forearm and Giovanni falls to the ropes and Selena looks at her.

Selena: “You tried to take me out.”

Giovanni: “Because you stand for him. But maybe even you can be saved. This all with the Lizard Princess?”

Selena’s eyes widen. Giovanni steps forward.

Giovanni: “You’ve thought it too. You know he’s just using you.”

Selena: “You know you’re full of it.”

Giovanni smacks her.

Giovanni: “WAKE UP! I won’t offer again!”

The crowd ohs as Selena then turns and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another. Giovanni falls to the ropes. Selena grabs him and Giovanni spins through and sends her in. Selena bounces off the ropes and she runs at him, ducks a clothesline attempt as Giovanni spins around as Selena jumps to the middle rope and dives back, hitting the Defying Gravity. The crowd roars. Giovanni falls back from the impact and through the ropes, falling to the floor. Selena then steps up and looks at Giovanni Aries, yelling at him.

Selena: “I have nothing to wake up from. People like me! Like Owen…we’re going to make YOU wake up!”

Giovanni rolls over, laughing while holding his jaw. Sam heads over to him. Selena backs up as “What I Believe” by Skillet plays throughout the arena.

Sharper: “Defying Gravity to the jaw and she has no time for Giovanni Aries’ delusions!”

Knots: “Delusions. But he may have overstepped. He’s mentioned D’s kids!”

Selena keeps watching him, sternly looking at him as the camera focuses on her and the scene cuts out.

Breakdown returns to see Andrew Raynes trying to get past officials as Dustin Adams just smirks, arms folded.

Dustin: “You screwed up little girl!”

Marie Jones can be seen across the way with officials standing between her and Andrew Raynes.

Andrew: “You want to cost me! How about I personally show you what that makes you deserve, huh?”

Marie: “Oh…did I screw you over? Just like I was a few months ago! Come on Andrew…let that hate flow through you. Pull the Palpatine act! I don’t care.”

Andrew: “Let me through!”

Andrew nails one official with a hard right.

Adams just smiles as he comes in as officials stop from Marie and turn to hold him back. Andrew nails another and tries to get past, but officials stop him before we see Dean Black and other agents coming on the scene. Mr. D also come over. Andrew notice this.

Andrew: “You serious? Going to let her walk! She deserves this! I should be the God damned Adrenaline Champion! Did you put her up to this?! Huh?! First the Christy sh[bleep] and then this!”

Mr. D: “Get them out of here.”

Andrew: “You better make this right D!”

Mr. D: “Get him out of here!”

Andrew keeps yelling as officials and agents keep pushing him back. Marie Jones heads off. Adams also is held back too as we cut away.

Maddy Steward vs. Bianca Evans

“That Girl’s a Genius” blasts through the arena and the camera pans a wide shot and to show the crowd’s pop for the youngest of the Steward clan. The camera changes as it switches to the stage entrance where Madison walks out dress in her dark black ring attire and wearing a steampunk white rabbit mask. She stops on the stage and feeds off the crowds energy that gets her pumped. Gigi Steward walks out from the back and looks down at the ring as Madison turns ot her.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, accompanied by Gigi Steward, from Los Angeles, California, she is the Dynamite Kid, Madison Steward!”

Maddy takes off down the aisle sprinting to the ring and slides inside it. She gets up on her knees and takes off her mask bopping her head to the music and smiles to the crowd. Gigi heads to the ring and walks around. Madison picks herself up and takes off her black ring coat and gets ready for her match and her music fades out. Gigi keeps looking around, eyes darting to find Bianca Evans.

Sharper: “Maddy Steward ready for this one. Gigi, Katie, both have been attacked, beaten by Bianca Evans. Bianca Evans now looking to send a message using Maddy.”

Knots: “Maddy trying to keep on a happy face. Let’s see how that goes.”

“Torture” by Picture Me Broken begins to play as the lights in the arena go black and the entrance is surrounded in a dark blue black light. The camera moves to the big screen "Bianca Evans" appears on the screen and then it shatters into fragments as glass as the shards fly away. We see the words "Gods Wife" in its place. Then we see imagery of Bianca in the rain with smudged make up being pelted by water with a cold as ice expression on her face. The camera lowers and we see Bianca Evans standing in the entrance with a pissed off expression on her face. She is wearing a black fur coat with black sunglasses along with her black leather pants ring gear. Ophelia von Aaron stands with her.

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by Ophelia von Aaron, she is God’s Wife, Bianca Evans!”

Bianca walks to the ring looking disgusted. Ophelia follows a few feet behind her. Bianca then slides under the bottom rope crawling before then bolting to the top rope. She screams as she throws her head back her mane of dark brown hair flying in a fluid motion as she jumps off the rope while the camera focus on her. She takes off her coat and throws it at Ophelia as Gigi hops onto the apron. Bianca turns and runs at her. She then grabs at Gigi. Gigi fights with her and blasts her with a forearm shot as the crowd roars. Gigi backs off and looks at Bianca as Bianca snaps at the official to ring the bell. The referee checks and Bianca snaps at him again. The bell sounds.

Sharper: “Gigi going for the shot on Bianca. Wanting to get her hands on her. But that may have just riled her up more!”

Knots: “And Maddy now has to deal with her. At least if this in any way sticks as a standard match.”

Bianca turns and runs at Maddy and Maddy ducks a haymaker attempt before Maddy turns and kicks her in the ribs and then again before forearming her in the jaw. Bianca falls to the corner. Maddy then forearms her again and then again. She jumps up and goes for a monkey flip, but Bianca shoves her back. Maddy rolls through. She gets up and Bianca lunges and immediately hits a B-Trigger and Maddy stumbles back and falls to the ropes. Bianca turns and points to her before turning and going for Gigi as the official checks on Maddy. Bianca drops down to the floor.

Sharper: “B-Trigger! Maddy may be out!”

Knots: “Being checked on, but Bianca’s now turning her attention to Gigi on the floor!”

Gigi turns and heads toward her as Bianca steps toward her and Maddy looks at her, yelling out at her. Gigi just turns away briefly before standing down as Maddy starts to get up. Bianca continues to head after Gigi, starting to pick up speed and she then moves around and grabs Gigi. She then hooks her by the throat as Gigi looks at her. Maddy runs across the ring, bounces off and dives through the ropes, nailing Bianca with a dive between the bottom and middle ropes, knocking her back. Gigi backs up. The crowd roars. (1) Bianca grabs at the barricade as Ophelia yells at the referee to get Gigi away from her daughter. (2) Maddy gets up and kicks Bianca in the ribs and then again. (3) She grabs her and rolls her into the ring. Maddy climbs onto the apron and then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars as Bianca starts to get up and staggers to her feet, turning to Maddy only for Maddy to dive off with a crossbody into a pin.

Bianca kicks out. Maddy rolls through. Bianca starts to get up and Maddy runs after and nails her with a forearm shot and then another.

Sharper: “Maddy standing right up to Bianca. Going right after her on the floor. Now in the ring.”

Knots: “Looks like she wants to be the first wheel, not just a wheel.”

Sharper: “And Maddy has for much of her last year wanting to prove herself as a breakout star. A win tonight would certainly help give her that look!”

Maddy grabs Bianca and whips her across. She runs after and Bianca gets her elbow up. Maddy stumbles out and Bianca goes for a clothesline, but Maddy ducks and hits a drop toe hold. She then jumps up and hits a double stomp to the back of Bianca. Bianca yells out and rolls over and Maddy goes for the pin.

Bianca kicks out. Both get up and Bianca grabs Maddy and pulls her chest first into the middle turnbuckle. Maddy stumbles back and Bianca just hits a spin kick to the jaw, knocking her down. The crowd boos as Bianca walks around the ring. She then watches as Maddy starts to get up and Bianca runs at her before drilling her with a mafia kick. Maddy hits the mat. Bianca then grabs Maddy and drags her up before spinning her around and then hooking her up by the head and throwing her overhead with a half-nelson suplex.

Sharper: “Bianca just throwing Maddy up and over. Dropping her on the back of her neck! That half-nelson suplex.”

Knots: “But no cover. She’s still on Gigi!”

Sharper: “Gigi being a distraction. A big one. Bianca may be focused on destroying the Stewards but not sure which one she wants to focus on tonight!”

Bianca snaps at Maddy to stay there as she then drops down and rolls to the floor again. She then turns and goes after Gigi. (1) Gigi just shrugs and waits for her as Bianca runs around the ring and just then, we see Ophelia von Aaron, who had snuck around the ring, ducking by the ring apron, coming up behind Gigi and nailing her from behind. Gigi falls over as the crowd boos. Bianca just turns to Ophelia. (2)

Bianca: “Finally…not useless! Out of my way!”

Bianca then pushes Ophelia down before grabbing Gigi and pulling her up and running her face first into the announce table. (3) Gigi rolls over. Bianca then nails her with a hard right and then another and another before banging her head against the announce table. (4) The crowd boos as Bianca looks out at the crowd. (5) She then snaps at them to shut up before we then see Maddy climbing to the top rope. Bianca turns and Maddy dives off, landing on Bianca again. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Bianca ravaging Gigi in front of us, but Maddy! From the top!”

Knots: “Gigi didn’t see Ophelia! Bianca didn’t see Maddy!”

Maddy rolls over and winces. (1) She turns and grabs Bianca and pulls her up, rolling her back into the ring again. (2) She then climbs up to the apron. Ophelia goes to grab at her, but Maddy shakes her off as Bianca gets up and lunges at Maddy with a scowl on her face as Maddy shoulders her in the ribs. Bianca falls to a knee. Ophelia then gets up and grabs Maddy as Maddy backs up and the referee looks through, trying to get Ophelia away from Maddy. Maddy tries to get the leg free as Gigi then rolls off the table, pulling something out of her tights. Ophelia falls over as Bianca gets up. The referee turns to Bianca as Gigi nails Bianca with a set of pink brass knuckles! The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Gigi!”

Knots: “Not the platinum knuckles! Those are pink! Pink for Katie Steward!”

Sharper: “Bianca took the platinum knuckles Gigi took. Looks like Katie had sent Gigi with a reminder that the Stewards are dangerous!”

The bell sounds. Bianca falls back to the mat.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, via disqualification, Bianca Evans!”

As Bianca is down, we then see Maddy climb to the top rope. The crowd roars as she then dives off and hits the Rising Star Frog Splash. The crowd roars as Maddy rolls off. The crowd cheers as Gigi rolls into the ring, wincing. Ophelia looks at her stunned.

Sharper: “Gigi and Maddy working together. I don’t know if Maddy wanted Gigi wanted her to strike her, but the Stewards are going to defend their throne!”

Knots: “A bit of turn about, from the violence of Bianca. Not going to just take it!”

Maddy looks at Bianca as Bianca remains down. Gigi and Maddy back up and exit the ring. Ophelia enters the ring to check on her as the crowd continues to look on cheering as the scene fades out.

Backstage Aaron Blackbourne is seen with his girlfriend, Liane. Aaron Blackbourne takes a deep breath.

Aaron: “Thankfully she’s not here. So we can enjoy this.”

Liane: “It was nice of SCW to let me come on the tour. I guess without Scarlet here.”

Aaron: “They can do it and not worry about it. Plus, it’s just going to be nice. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa…”

Liane: “And without her. I still don’t get it.”

Aaron then looks up.

Aaron: “You’re kidding me.”

Ruby Amarant walks into view, her hand up.

Ruby: “Relax. I come with a simple warning.”

Aaron: “I come with one too. Leave me alone. I’m done with this.”

Ruby: “To be honest, part of me would like it to be over too, but alas, it’s only going to be worse.”

Liane: “How can it be worse? She has no respect for him, for me…for us.”

Ruby: “Easy. Who is going to keep her under control while she’s on the other tour? Whoever she’s facing…they’re a target. And trust me, she’s going to be making your live miserable too.”

Liane: “Then if you’re her friend, why won’t you stop her?”

Ruby smiles.

Aaron: “Come on…I know you’re not that dense.”

Ruby: “It’s because of that I won’t stop her. We came for one reason. To rule as the Red Empire. And if she wants you and that makes her happy and that helps us be successful….well, you can connect the dots Mr. Blackbourne.”

Aaron: “I’m not interested in her, at all.”

Ruby: “Then become interest Aaron. Because if not…I have no desire to stop her from doing worse. Although…”

Aaron: “What?”

Ruby: “Perhaps we should take a page from the old school. I mean…it’s a dated concept, but one that certainly would not be between consenting adults. A contest…one with a date on the line.”

Aaron: “You can’t be serious.”

Ruby: “If you play to her desires to some degree…it may relax her. I do happen to know her well. But don’t worry. Enjoy the chaos next week. For now, enjoy your time with your girlfriend.”

Ruby turns and heads off. Aaron just looks down and sighs as Liane watches her leave with a scowl. She turns to Aaron.

Liane: “You can’t think she’s serious.”

Aaron: “I think she is.”

Liane: “You’re not thinking about it then.”

Aaron: “Right now…I don’t want to think about it. Come on.”

Sienna Swann vs. Ace Marshall

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

He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath him and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is your main event of the evening for TV time remaining. First, making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, The Master of the Universe Freddy Mercury was referring to in that song, Ace Marshall!”

He makes his way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall already having some fun at Sienna’s expense. Having Cassidy Carter call him to cut a blistering diatribe against the World Champion.”

Knots: “Yeah and Sienna’s already riled because of Hudson. So this is going to be fun.”

Sharper: “First time these two have faced in singles action too. Here in Sydney, Australia!”

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Sienna Swann walks out with her head down as the crowd boos. Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to pepper down on her from the “paparazzi” staged around her, Laura making sure that they take plenty of pics of The Beautiful Angel before making her way to the ring. The SCW World Championship is around Sienna’s waist.

Phillips: “His opponent, accompanied by the Truelove Twins and Laura Steinbeck, representing the Beauty Factory, she is the SCW World Champion, from Johannesburg, South Africa, she is the IronAngel, Sienna Swann!”

Laura instructs the Twins to follow her to the ring as she disappears to the back with the photographers. Sienna walks down to the ring, looking around and blowing kisses when one of the fans touches her. She stops, turns to the Truelove Twins who take out a sanitizing wipe and disinfect the area she was touched. Satisfied she continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top rope, posing with her wings spread wide. She looks up to the rafters as a gold spotlight like the light of heaven shines down on her as gold glitter begins to rain down on the entire arena. Sienna smirks and hops into the ring, spreading her arms out and smiling before taking off her wings from help of the Twins, they make their way out of the ring and to the back while Sienna stands, patiently waiting for the start of the match posing and showing off her assets to the crowd as they continue to boo Sienna. She hands off the title to Phillips. Ace smirks as he stretches out across the ring.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann, the World Champion, and it’s been an interesting couple of weeks. From St. Bart’s, to Oklahoma, to Sydney and next week, her home country of South Africa.”

Knots: “Truly a World Champion, but also in there, Josh Hudson putting himself over the group. Using the Trios Tournament match to face Sienna Swann at Bound by Blood.”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann did not hold back on what she thought of Josh earlier tonight. We’ll, I’m sure, hear from him next week while in London, England.”
