“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “The fallout from Under Attack will be felt here tonight. We have a new World Champion. We have a lot of controversy. And we have the fate of the Empty Arena match hanging over us too!”

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

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. I’m Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots. We are live, here for Breakdown, in Omaha, Nebraska and Jon, I mentioned a lot off the top, but it really is the tip of the proverbial iceberg.”

Knots: “Yeah. Sienna Swann is the new World Champion. Everyone get ready to hear the For the People schtick go on forever! But we’re told tonight, we’re going to see the full Empty Arena match. The decision was made late last night. We’re getting the whole thing.”

Sharper: “Only a handful of individuals have seen the tape of it. Cameramen were sworn to secrecy. We don’t know what to expect.”

Knots: “But what we do know to expect is a pissed off Infamous! Not a good night except that Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson, they’re the Tag Champs. Not part of Infamous, but what Christy Matthews wanted. Jake Starr siding with Jordan Majors, helping her out. Abigail Lindsay has publicly announced she’s done with Infamous. And oh yeah, Syren was sent through the Chamber structure and as a result, she was eliminated due to medical reasons.”

Sharper: “All that and much more. TV title on the line and-“

“Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play and the crowd starts to boo loudly.

Sharper: “Looks like we’re not waiting long to hear from the new Champion.”

The camera cuts to the stage as Sienna Swann walks out with Chris Cannon. The SCW World Championship is proudly around her waist. Notably, instead of Laura Steinbeck, we see another woman, Xiomara. She stands a few feet behind them.

Sharper: “Looks like Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon got some new muscle.”

Knots: “Why not? Kelcey needs her Chuculain!”

Sienna and Chris walk down to the ring and Sienna thrusts her arm up. She then smirks as pyro shoots out from the stage into the air over and over. The crowd boos some more as we see confetti start to fall from the ceiling. The boos continue.

Knots: “Of course, all of this too!”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann has wanted to regain the SCW World Championship officially since January this year. She’s finally done it. In very controversial fashion.”

Knots: “Chris Cannon practically handed it to her. Chris Cannon getting involved. Then James Evans fought back before those masked jackasses showed up and ruined everything more!”

Sharper: “And they could all enter thanks to a hole created by Syren’s body going through the chains, sheering from the impact. We believe that was a failed plot by Infamous to help them.”

Confetti continues to fall as some fans even try to ball it up to throw at the ring. Sienna and Chris reach the ring. Chris holds Sienna’s hand and she walks up the steel steps. Chris Cannon follows as he then holds the ropes open and smirks as Sienna enters. She then takes the World Championship off from her waist and steps forward, holding it over her head. The crowd boos more as Chris walks over, applauding. Xiomara enters and stands in the background as Sienna Swann ensures she’s the focal point. Sienna poses still as the confetti continues to fall. At this point, more pyro shoots out from the stage. The crowd boos more as Sienna just smiles. Chris does too. Xiomara just looks on, stoically. Sienna Swann then places the title over her shoulder and continues to look around as Sienna walks over and extends her arm. Jason Phillips hands her the microphone and Sienna takes it. She walks back over to the middle of the ring. She looks around as she then brings the microphone to her mouth.

Sienna: “This is what a champion looks like!”

The crowd boos some more as Sienna looks around.

Sienna: “And while some people can take issue, and have a problem with it, the fact is that this is how it should have been all year long. In the Chamber, while a minor assist from Chris here, we made sure that all was made right and I walked out YOUR SCW World Champion and I did it…FOR THE PEOPLE!”

The crowd boos some more as Sienna looks around.

Sienna: “That’s right. FOR THE PEOPLE! Despite the smear tactics some people have started to use against me, I am focused on one thing and that’s holding this title and being the Champion that you all deserve and-“

Chris gets Sienna’s attention as we see Sasha walking down from the back with a few police officers. The crowd cheers as seeing her. Sienna turns and walks over.

Sienna: “What is this? Finally, taking the threats to me seriously. Making sure you protect your most important asset. The only champion you have here.”

Sasha continues to the ring and walks up the steel steps. At this point, we notice a clipboard in her hand. She steps onto the apron. Xiomara walks over to stop her.

Sienna: “No…let her in. She can learn a few things. How to treat a real champion. She didn’t pay for the pyro, the confetti. The celebration. I did that. Again, to signify how this is a new beginning. One where I am back on top. You should be celebrating Sasha. Now you have a chance to finally prove you can be a success, even if we all know you owe everything to the Beauty Factory.”

Sasha enters and walks across the ring. Sienna notices the clipboard at this point. Sasha is handed a microphone.

Sienna: “What do you have there?”

Sasha turns to Sienna.

Sasha: “This…well, I’ll get to that in a moment, but the only one who has something to celebrate is you because you are the new World Champion. But the fact is that I’m not celebrating it because of HOW it was done.”

Sienna scoffs.

Sienna: “I did nothing wrong. All of it was legal. Not my fault that Infamous outplayed themselves.”

Sasha: “That may be the case. That’s another issue, but the fact is that I’m sick of having controversy regarding the World Championship.”

Sienna: “Then start doing your job.”

Sasha: “Great. I will. And I’ll start by focusing on the one matter that makes me even more disappointed about Under Attack than how you won the title. It involves that man right there, your fiancé, Chris Cannon.”

The crowd boos as Chris scoffs and looks around. He steps forward. Sienna turns to him. Chris takes the microphone.

Chris: “Oh this is rich. All sad that I just decided to make sure things turned out the right way. Fighting for what’s right. See, there’s a bit of Superman still in me.”

Sasha: “That’s a completely different issue. The fact is that as of this moment, you are not cleared to be getting physical in this ring. And legal or not, at Under Attack, you certainly got physical in this ring.”

Chris: “Well don’t tear up too much. I’ll all good. James and Owen…well…”

Sasha: “And that’s the problem. See, I have to care whether you injured or not. You can determine for what reason, but this brings me to this document on this clipboard and those gentlemen in the aisleway.”

Sasha extends the clipboard to Chris Cannon. Chris takes it and looks at it, scoffing. Xiomara walks over and looks at it as does Sienna.

Sasha: “See, you can disagree with our doctor’s position, but the fact is that if you are not cleared, that’s a problem. When you are not cleared and getting physical, there is a liability issue and frankly, given that you two had a field day with Xander’s farcical issue, we know you will hold SCW responsible for your own actions. Therefore, you have a decision. You can sign that form which holds SCW not responsible for any potential injury or health issues as a result of your own recklessness, since you’ve made it clear that you’re a danger to yourself, again, whether you agree with the doctor’s or not.”

Chris looks up and laughs a bit.

Sasha: “Now, don’t worry, you can think about it, but until you do sign that or SCW doctors clear you to return to the ring, you are suspended and banned from SCW shows since we cannot trust you to act accordingly.”

Chris: “What?”

Chris steps forward.

Chris: “I will not be leaving the side of my wife!”

Sasha: “Then the decision seems easy.”

Chris: “This is just your way to try and hurt this. Sienna finally is Champion. You want me gone. It’s why your doctor’s won’t clear me.”

Sasha: “The doctor’s won’t clear you because you are still suffering concussion symptoms and I will not see a wrestler shorten their career. If I have to stand in their way I will. So Chris…”

Chris just looks at Sasha and then the clipboard.

Chris: “Screw you.”

Chris then takes the contract and rips it in two and drops the clipboard. Sienna smiles and turns and kisses Chris in a show of solidarity. The crowd boos more.

Sasha: “Gentlemen.”

Chris turns as the police officers step up onto the apron and start to enter the ring. Xiomara goes to step in their way. Chris just turns and looks at them.

Sasha: “I don’t know who you are, but if you’re going to do what I think you are, you can join Chris. And Sienna can stand here alone as World Champion.”

Xiomara turns and walks over to Chris and leans in, whispering something to him and then to Sienna. Chris then looks at Sasha before stepping forward. He places his hands forward. As he does, we then hear “Door to Door Cannibals” start to play and the crowd erupts in cheers. Chris stops as Sasha turns to the entrance way as James Evans walks out from the back, a microphone in his hand.

James: “Well sorry Chris. I guess I gave you the gift that keeps on giving!”

Chris steps forward, and goes for the ropes. The police officers stop him. Chris tries to get away.

Chris: “Get off me! I’m apparently injured!”

James then looks in the ring.

James: “But I’ve had enough of the bull[bleep] here. You’ve had you crap. Chris is getting tossed. Just like I’m sick of these masked assholes coming out and getting involved, well, I’ll deal with them next time they meddle in my business, but right now, I’m focusing on Syren Swann in the ring.”

Sienna steps forward and grabs the microphone that Chris had.

Sienna: “Don’t you dare taint me with her name!”

James: “Why bother? You two are practically the same. Just like she had her plans and her BS, so do you now. All that matters is that you hold that title and you’ll do anything to get it. Now, I’ll admit I’ll do the same thing, but I do it a bit of a different way. I’m happy to do anything I can in a wrestling match to make sure I walk out the winner and I still have every intention of coming after that belt!”

The crowd cheers.

James: “You know as well as everyone else that I had you. I could feel the fear coming from you when I stood up, took you two on, the masked jackasses, and everyone else. So Syren Swann…eye to eye…Man to Champion, I am still coming for you!”

The crowd cheers. James paces a bit on the stage.

James: “But this leads me to a problem because I’m not the one making the decisions. That falls to someone else in that ring. Right Sasha…So….”

James looks at the ring, a sneer on his face forming, almost wanting to get on with things, before suddenly “The Show Must Go On” starts to play. The crowd cheers again and James turns to the entrance way. Owen Cruze walks out from the back, microphone in his hand.

Sienna: “Oh great! Calamity Cruze is here! Don’t worry. No more pyro! Don’t need to worry about you having another tragedy. Then again, you proved you couldn’t hold onto this against a real champion!”

James: “Don’t have a comeback for me.”

Sienna: “Chris?”

Chris steps forward and the police officers hold him back again.

James: “Let him go. I can make this simple Sasha!”

Owen: “James…stop…”

Owen looks at James and then the ring, speaking in the microphone in his hand.

Owen: “That…this desire to injure, to hurt…that’s not what the hell we do here. We compete, James. And you and I had started to do some of it. And yeah, I’m pissed off I’m not standing here as World Champion because Chris, you got involved. I’m not happy that Sienna, you’re the World Champion. Not because you should never hold it. Hell, we all know you can go in that ring, but the fact is that I agree with James…We may as well start calling you Syren Swann!”

The crowd roars. Sienna looks around.

Sienna: “Stop it! Cut their mic!”

A faint “Syren Swann!” chant begins and with Sienna getting annoyed, it starts to get louder and louder.

Knots: “I love Omaha!”

Owen and James smirk.

Owen: “Now…Syren Swann…”

Owen smirks and turns to James.

James: “Don’t forget I came up with it.”

Owen: “Yeah, all yours. Make a t-shirt of it.”

Owen turns back to the ring.

Sienna: “It’s my name!”

Owen: “Oh you accept it now!”

Sienna: “Shut up you little punk! You know damn well what I was saying. You’re making me regret I didn’t have more pyro to go off now!”

Owen: “Well don’t worry. See, I regret letting you continue with this for as long as you did. The pyro, the confetti, the focus all on you…Sienna, I want to come out here and make this clear to you and look you in the eye. People like Alistaire and I…like Peyton and Aaron, who will compete later tonight for the TV Championship, we have fought for months to bring something back to wrestling…a focus on competition and a World Championship that focuses on the best in that ring, not the best schemer, not the best at taking advantage of unfortunate events…but best wrestlers. And before you get pissy Sienna, again, you, even Syren, you once both could claim that, but right now, cut the for the people crap, cut the posturing, if you’re proud of what you did at Under Attack, then you’re the problem!”

Sienna: “And yet I’m champion.”

Chris smirks as

Owen: “And I will continue to fight with all of those I mentioned to make the focus on who is the best. Not who was lucky!”

Sasha: “Well we can find out exactly what may happen, Sienna, Owen, James…”

The crowd roars.

Sasha: “Because at our next pay per view event, on December 1, Sienna, you will defend your SCW World Championship against Owen Cruze and Jam-“

Just then, we see the two masked individuals running up the stairs on the side of the stage and then running at James. The male nails James in the side of the head. He drops down and the masked man starts to dive onto him.

Sharper: “Those masked individuals! Attacking James! Sasha didn’t finish her announcement!”

Knots: “It sounded like a triple threat! But with this problem! I don’t know!”

The police officers in the ring, sensing their duty, exit, and start to head up to the stage. Owen turns and grabs the man and pulls him off. Ignoring Owen, the masked female starts to stomp away on James as James covers up a bit. Sienna just smirks. Chris walks back. He then leans to the microphone.

Chris: “Looks like you’ve got a fair share of problems, mates!”

Sienna laughs.

Sienna: “Just focus on me…no controversy here…at least that is deserved!”

Sienna smiles as she holds the World Championship up, ignoring the matter on the stage as the police officers get Owen away from the masked man and they push the masked woman away. She quickly exits and rolls to the stairs and makes her exit. The man, meanwhile, is trapped, as SCW officials come through the curtain.

Knots: “The woman running off!”

Sharper: “Owen helping James! Trying to help him out in this. Officials and police surrounding the masked man! Maybe we can finally figure out who the hell this is? Or something about them?!”

Knots: “Look at Sienna. Chris should be getting tossed the hell out of here, but instead, Sienna and him are posing in the ring! Holding the World Championship!”

Sharper: “They’re proud aren’t they?”

Knots: “Yeah and all of this for the people!”

The crowd continues to boo Sienna, while James gets up and runs at the masked man. He’s held back as Owen gets up and even tries to hold him back too.

Sharper: “Look out! Look out! James!”

The scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Chris Cannon, Xiomara and Sienna Swann backstage in the hallway as we then see Dean Black walking over with some of the police officers. He motions to them. Chris just scoffs.

Chris: “Seriously? Still on this.”

Dean: “You heard the decision. If you’re not going to protect yourself, we’re not going to give you the opportunity to be reckless.”

One of the police officers steps forward.

Police officer: “Mind coming with us?”

Chris: “Gonna cuff me?”

Xiomara: “Chris…just go with it.”

Chris: “Seriously? This crap. When we both know I’m cleared to do whatever I want. Totally fine out there.”

Dean: “And the tests we have from earlier this week say otherwise.”

Chris shakes his head.

Chris: “I’ll see myself out.”

Police officer: “We’ll make sure of it.”

Sienna then turns to Dean Black.

Sienna: “Well tell Sasha that if my husband isn’t here and I’m not needed, I’ll be with him.”

Sasha: “You can tell her yourself. You’re fine to go.”

Sasha walks over to the scene.

Sienna: “Good to know I’m important enough to come to me.”

Sasha: “Escort them both out. The third too.”

Xiomara smirks.

Xiomara: “Come on. And by the way Sasha, the names Xiomara. You’ll be getting used to me soon enough.”

Sasha: “I’m sure.”

Xiomara, Sienna and Chris walk off with the police officers walking with them. Dean turns to Sasha.

Dean: “You sure you want her to leave to?”

Sasha: “Right now, we have a lot of other issues. I don’t need a headache on top of it. She’s had her celebration.”

Dean: “What about the announcement about her title match?”

Sasha: “She can watch it from her hotel room, tour bus, wherever she wants.”

Sasha turns and heads off as Dean Black nods and follows.

Clyde Sutter vs. Max Kane

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

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

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

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

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

Sharper: “Our next contest will be a different mesh of styles. Max Kane bringing the high flying, sort of reckless, style to the ring, while his opponent Clyde Sutter is just brutal.”

Knots: “He’s gone through the ringer for the last few months. Look at his matches against Rachel Tatum Lee, and her ex-husband, Josh Hudson. He knows all about brutal.”

Sharper: “He will get another dose of it here tonight against this man…”

The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play.  As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face.  He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering.  After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, Sutter begins his slow walk down the ramp, with Van Stanton following closely behind.  The spotlight follows the sinister sociopath as he approaches the ring; Sutter then foregoes the steel steps as he leaps up from the floor to the ring apron.  Mason applauds from the outside as he uses the steel steps to join his client on the ring apron.  With the spotlight remaining only on them as one of the few lights in the arena at the moment, Sutter and Van Stanton enter the ring and then stand in the center.  Van Stanton applauds his client while the fans continue to show their displeasure.  The sound of Metallica dies down and the lights come back on.

Phllips: “And his opponent, from Raleigh, North Carolina, weighing in at 280 pounds…he is the Assassin! CLYDE! SUTTER!!!”

The ref calls for the bell. Clyde glares at Max, who begins to fire away with punches as well as knife edge chops. He backs Clyde into the ropes, before going to whip him across the ring. Clyde reverses. Max comes back and Clyde grabs him, lifting him up, but Max turns it into a DDT. He goes for a quick cover.

Clyde kicks out.

Sharper: “Max Kane with a quick count of one.”

Knots: “He should know it’ll take a lot more to put the big man down.”

Max gets to his feet, and charges into the ropes, and leaps off them, going for a flying forearm as Clyde gets to his feet. He connects and Clyde hits the mat. Max hits a leg drop, followed by a second, before running into and leaping off the ropes, going for a moonsault, but Clyde gets the knees up. Max flails away, holding his ribs.

Sharper: “Max built up some dominance with those high flying moves. I think he got a little too confident.”

Clyde gets to his feet, and begins to stalk Max, who is shown standing up. Max turns around, only for Clyde to connect with a running clothesline. Max flips over into the middle of the ring.

Knots: “Holy hell! Did you see that?”

Sharper: “Clyde just turned Max inside out.”

Clyde goes for a cover.

Max kicks out. Clyde grabs Max by the hair and lands a few punches before bouncing Max’s head off the canvas, as he climbs to his feet. The crowd boos as Max is shown rolling over, holding his head. Clyde stalks him a little bit, before stomping on the back of Max’s head.

Sharper: “The crowd letting Clyde know what they think of his actions.”

Knots: “He clearly doesn’t care, just as he doesn’t care for Max’s well-being.”

Sharper: “I’m sure its okay to say that he doesn’t care for the well-being of anyone.”

Max pushes himself up, getting to his hands and knees, only for Clyde to land a forearm to the back of the head, before hooking Max around the waist. Clyde lifts him up from the mat, hitting a release German suplex. He goes for another cover.

Max kicks out! Clyde gets to his feet, grabbing Max and whipping him into the corner. Max buckles a bit. Clyde charges, but Max leaps onto the apron just as Clyde connects with the corner. Clyde slumps into the corner as Max climbs onto the top rope. He grabs Clyde and slams him face first into the turnbuckle. Clyde stumbles back. Max kicks him in the face, before leaping off the top, taking Clyde down with a tornado DDT. He hooks the leg.

Clyde kicks out. Max brings Clyde up from the mat, hitting a few forearms, before whipping him into the corner. Clyde hits and Max follows up with a splash. Clyde stumbles a bit and Max hits a dropkick. Clyde falls in the corner. Max gets up, going to the opposite side. He charges, going for a cannonball, but Clyde rolls out of the way, and out of the ring as Max collides with the ring post. Max is shown slumping to the mat as Clyde rolls back inside.

Sharper: “This doesn’t look good for Max.”

Clyde gets to his feet, before reaching down and grabbing Max up from the mat. He hooks him then hits a powerbomb into the corner. Max hits and stumbles out, only for Clyde to kick him in the abdomen, hook him, before hitting another buckle bomb. Clyde backs up, as Max slowly stumbles out of the corner, only for Clyde to charge and connect with the Unforgiven. Max falls to the mat and Clyde rolls over for going for the cover.

Knots: “Clyde took advantage of Max’s risk taking, and he brutalized him.”

“Unforgiven” hits as Clyde gets to his feet. He towers over Max, as the crowd boos. Clyde smirks.

Sharper: “That man is an absolute monster. Max Kane put up a fight, but in the end, he was hit with the Unforgiven.”

Knots: “And he may be unconscious.”

Clyde is shown stepping near the ropes, glaring over at Max, as the ref is shown attending to him as we cut away.

Backstage, James Evans is trying to get into a locker room, but is held back by a couple of guards.

James: “Let me the hell in there. That masked son of a bitch is in there and I’ll find out who the hell is sending him after me and ruining everything. Just let me at him!”

James tries to get in as he’s stopped before we see Sasha walking over to him with Dean Black.

Sasha: “James!”

James: “This is my problem! Let me deal with it.”

Sasha: “Right now, that’s clearly not looking like a good decision. Guys. Get him out of here.”

James tries to push forward before Dean Black walks over and joins the guards in pushing him back. James keeps trying to fight as he’s then forced off screen. Sasha then walks over to the door and knocks on it.

Sasha: “It’s me.”

A few moments pass before the door opens and a police officer checks and opens the door. Sasha steps in, but as she does, we see James Evans, presumably having gotten free, running over and pushing his way in. He pushes Sasha into the wall and then goes past the cop and runs forward and one of the cops turns and James shoves him down before the masked man runs forward and tries to spear James down, notably while handcuffed. He pushes James back and into the wall before James grabs his head and spins him out into the hallway, the cameraman just barely backing away.

Sharper: “James Evans forcing him in! That masked individual under arrest!”

Knots: “He immediately went after James! And Sasha is down too!”

Sharper: “James is incensed. They’ve been a thorn in his side for the last month and a half!”

James then nails the masked man with a couple of hard rights to the ribs before grabbing at his mask and pulling at it. The crowd roars as he manages to then pull on it as police officers and security grab James and pulls him back. The crowd roars as we see Sasha getting up and Dean Black checking on her. The police officers start to arrest James.

Officer: “You’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney.”

The camera focuses on the now unmasked burly man, whose long hair falls to his back. He looks at James and starts to cackle.

James: “Shut up!”

Officer: “Excuse me…”

Man: “You think this stops anything. He will come for you. You’ve lost it all! You will UNDERSTAND!”

The man cackles some more.

Sasha: “Just get them both. Separate cars.”

James just looks at the man as the police officer continues to Mirandize him and takes him away. Others go to the now formerly masked man. They start to help him up as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up in the office of the SCW owner to see Sasha seated at her desk with Dean Black standing in the room.

Dean: “We’ve got the trainer coming here.”

Sasha: “I’m fine.”

Dean: “Still to be safe.”

Sasha: “I know.”

Dean: “James can cool off at the precinct. Same for that man.”

Sasha: “Just more headaches that won’t need to be dealt with tonight.”

Dean: “Well-“

There’s a knock at the door. Dean Black turns and walks over to the door. He opens it.

Dean: “What are you doing here?”

Adam Allocco walks in.

Adam: “Sasha, baby. I heard what happened. I came right down here. I mean, promoter to promoter, gotta look out for you. And well, after that…you’re probably bruised right. Here. Let me handle it. I got this great back rub. I’ll give it to you for free. Just as a sign of good will. Especially since God of Wrestling was such a success. Now…”

Adam walks over to Sasha and Sasha pulls away.

Sasha: “Thanks, but no thanks. Adam…you’ve already told me how much you appreciated God of Wrestling. I don’t think there are any more flowers in Toronto. What do you want?”

Adam: “Hey, I’m just looking out for you. Making sure you feel valued. I know you’re in the heat position. God…”

Adam turns to Dean.

Adam: “Don’t look at me like that. I’m innocent! Just looking to help her out.”

Dean: “Pardon me if I don’t believe you.”

Adam: “Well, Sasha…I figured I could come and well, I know you were thinking James could be a challenger. Given his issues, but that…that’s just not okay. But, looks, Alistaire’s…it’s hit him hard. He didn’t have the showing he wanted. Now I’m a firm believer of fighting through things and well-“

Sasha: “Adam…stop. I know you care about him. And I know he had a rough night. But is this really what he wants? You asking for a favour for him. That’s going to help him get back up on the horse.”

Adam: “Hey, it’s my son. If I don’t know him, who would?!”

Sasha: “Adam…I’m not sure what I’m doing. I just got shoved into a wall. I’m thinking I can take a moment to figure things out. We have time. Thanks for coming in and no need to offer me back rubs again.”

Adam nods.

Adam: “Okay…okay…”

Adam nods to Dean.

Adam: “Dean.”

Adam turns and walks off before we cut away.

Breakdown reopens at ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce position.

Sharper: “Can you believe Adam Allocco?”

Knots: “Well to be fair, that move did use to work back in the day. Times have changed!”

Sharper: “In any case, things already in a bit of disarray. James Evans arrested. That masked man, I’ve never seen him before.”

Knots: “A threat to James Evans. But at least Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon are gone!”

Sharper: “They are indeed. And well, things are a bit tense around SCW. And well, after Under Attack, even the tag division is not safe from it.”

Knots: “They’re aggressive coffee peddlers!”

Sharper: “Well, after their victory at Under Attack, The El Lucho Brothers had a run-in with one half of the tag team champions. Take a look.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see Ryan Watson walking through the backstage area before turning and he stops as we see El Lucho Venti and El Lucho Grande, both holding cups of coffee, pointing at him.

Watson: “The ‘ell’a you two pointin’ at?!” (The hell are you two pointing at?)

Venti: “Eres la mitad de los campeones del equipo de etiqueta.” (You are one half of the tag team champions.)

Subtitles come up on the screen.

Grande: “El es totalmente. Tiene el cinturón brillante y todo.” (He totally is. Has the shiny belt and everything.)

Watson: “The ‘ell is wrong wi’ you, eh? Speak English!” (The hell is wrong with you, huh? Speak English!)

Venti: “¿Él realmente dijo eso?” (Did he actually say that?)

Grande: “¿Sabe hablar inglés?” (Does he know how to speak English?)

Watson: “Look! A dunt ‘ve time f’ this. The two’a you a’ runnin’ y’ mouths at me. Prob’ly sayin’ all sorts’a unnecessary things an’ a dunt know if y’ realized, but Zero [beep]s t’ gi’, so-“ (?????????[bleep]????, so-)

Grande and Venti look at each other as Watson goes to walk through, right between them, but the Lucho Brothers obstruct him.

Watson: “Oi! Get art’a me way.” (Hey! Get out of my way.)

Venti: “No te vayas todavía. Tenemos nuestras propias cosas. Con nuestra ilustre victoria. ¡Vamos por ti!” (Don't leave yet. We have our own things. With our illustrious victory. We're coming for you!)

Grande: “Si!” (Yes!)

Just then Nate Patrick walks over to them. Watson is just glaring at Grande and Venti.

Patrick: “Hey! Guys! What’s up…oh…you’re in the middle of something?” (Hey! Guys! What’s up…oh…you’re in the middle of something?)

Watson: “Can y’ get these guys away from me? The tryin’ t’ gi’ me coffee or summet.” (Can you get these guys away from me? They’re trying to give me coffee or something.)

Patrick: “Do you know what he said?” (Do you know what he said?)

Watson: “F’ god sek!” (For god sake)

Autumn Valentine then walks up behind Watson.

Autumn: “Ry. I can hear you down the hallway.” (Ry. I can hear you down the hallway.”

Venti quickly turns and grabs a fresh cup of coffee.

Venti: “Para ti.” (For you.)

Autumn: “Oh tha-“

Watson slaps it out of his hand. Venti and Grande yell at Watson. Patrick steps back.

Watson: “No! Prob’ly poisoned. The yellin’ at me. Now givin’ thee coffee. Prob’ly tryn’ t’ get the titles by poisonin’ one’a us. Well we dunt need y’ crap coffee. We got other ways f’ some energy.” (No! Probably poisoned. They’re yelling at me. Now giving you coffee. Probably trying to get the titles by poisoning one of us. Well we don’t need your crap coffee. We got other ways for some energy.)

Autumn: “Yeah!”

Autumn immediately supports Ryan.

Ryan: “Come on.” (Come on)

Ryan and Autumn walked off. Patrick looks at them.

Patrick: “They seem lovely.” (They seem lovely)

Grande: “Les importará muy pronto.” (They’ll give a damn soon enough.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Drake Hemingway vs. Casterillo

The lights go out. "Exciter" by Judas Priest plays from the loud speaker. Steam rises from the stage. Out walks Drake Hemingway accompanied by his maiden Loretta Inglewood. The spotlight shines on them as though they are angels being given to us from the heavens, their aura tells a different story. Both of them walk down to the ring, side by side. They reach the ring. Drake walks up the steel steps, walks across the apron. He bends down extending his hand to Loretta, pulling her on the apron, he then opens the ropes for her. She enters the ring first. He follows. Both walk to the center of the ring as the lights come back on. She smirks. He stands there stoically. She exits the ring. He remains, waiting for the match to start.

Phillips: “Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Loretta Inglewood, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Drake…Hemingway!!!”

Sharper: “Drake Hemingway, the first competitor out for our next match. He is a unique individual. I don’t know about you, partner, but I’ve been wondering what he meant about Under Attack.”

Knots: “Yeah, there’s been a lot of murmurs going around. Did he foresee Selena beating Xander? Was it anything that had to do with the match itself, and what we may see?”

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

Sharper: “We may find out later on tonight, but right now, Casterillo is going right after Drake.”

Casterillo is shown connecting with punches, backing Drake into the corner.

Sharper: “Casterillo teeing off with those big right hands.”

Drake buckles in the corner, and Casterillo continues to hammer away, before he transitions into stomping. Casterillo backs up before charging again and connecting with a knee. Drake slumps to the mat and rolls out of the ring.

Knots: “Drake getting out of dodge.”

Sharper: “Casterillo was all over him as soon as the lights came back on.”

Drake slowly paces around the ring as Casterillo is shown motioning for him to step back inside.

Knots: “Drake is trying to regroup, slowly taking his time as he makes his way out of the ring.”

Drake hops up onto the apron, keeping his eyes on Casterillo, who motions for him to the step inside once again. Drake does, cautiously. Once inside, Casterillo charges, and Drake connects with a spinning back elbow. Casterillo staggers back. Drake follows up with a knee to the face. Casterillo stumbles back, only for Drake to grab him, drive a knee into his abdomen, before hooking him and taking down with a scoop slam. Drake goes for the cover.

Casterillo powers out. He rolls away and gets to one knee. Drake hits another knee to the face, before taking Casterillo down with a T-bone suplex. He goes for the cover.

Casterillo kicks out.

Sharper: “Drake taking the big man down and getting back to back two counts. Casterillo may need to change up the game plan.”

Drake locks in a headlock, trying to keep Casterillo grounded. Casterillo manages to get to one knee.

Knots: “Drake keeping the pressure on Casterillo, but he doesn’t seem to be slowing down much either.”

Casterillo lands an elbow to the ribs. He hits another. Drake loosens his grip. Casterillo hooks Drake before driving Drake to the mat with a belly to back suplex. Drake rolls over, as Casterillo gets to his feet. Drake gets to his and turns, only for Casterillo to connect with a running big boot. He drops down and hooks the leg.

Drake kicks out. Casterillo grabs him and whips him into the ropes. Drake comes back and Casterillo bounces off the ropes opposite, taking him down with a spear. Casterillo hooks the leg once more.

Drake kicks out.

Sharpers: “These guys are heavy hitters. You have to wonder what’s going through their heads right now.”

Casterillo gets to his feet. He grabs Drake, who fires off with a European uppercut. Casterillo staggers back. Drake hits a kick to the side of the head. Casterillo staggers a bit more. Drake hits the ropes and charges only for Casterillo to get the boot up. Drake staggers back. Casterillo grabs him before lifting him up and dropping him down with a sit-out powerbomb.

Knots: “Trial By Fire!”

Casterillo gets to his feet, pulling Drake up from the mat. He hits a few clubbing blows, before hooking him and planting Drake with Holy Water. Casterillo goes for the cover.

3!!!

“Seven Devils” hits the loud speakers as Casterillo gets to his feet. He looks down at Drake then out at the crowd, throwing his fists up in the air.

Sharper: “Casterillo with the Holy Water, taking Drake down. That man means business.”

Casterillo is shown climbing over the top rope and dropping down to the floor, before proceeding toward the back as we cut away.

Backstage we see Tommy Valentine and Kandis talking backstage as Bree Lancaster walks over to the two of them.

Bree: “Mind if I interrupt?”

Tommy: “What do you want? I thought you’d be gone.”

Kandis just watches Bree.

Bree: “Oh trust me, I would prefer it, but I had to make sure I had this moment with you. The least I can do after ending your hopes of walking out of Under Attack with this title. Good try, but just, sorry, I’m on another level.”

Kandis: “You wish.”

Bree: “Don’t need to. I just hope you enjoy dealing with tha Violent Kind…God, the accent aint cute.”

Tommy: “I’m not worried.”

Bree: “Just saying. She has a general trend. And you’re probably next.”

Tommy: “And then what if she gets past me. Are you hoping that I’ll stop her momentum? Don’t worry, if she comes after me, I’ll have no problem giving her a hell of a fight. But you’re worried she’s going to win….”

Tommy smirks.

Bree: “You can speculate all you want. I just want deserving challengers.”

Tommy: “Like after you ran us all down in the tournament. Well Bree, maybe I’ll see what type of fire gets lit under your ass if Rachel gets her hands on you.”

Bree: “You’re going to lie down. You’d be dealing with Rachel not KAndis.”

Tommy scoffs.

Tommy: “You can find out for yourself. You can sweat a bit…then again…well…”

Kandis: “Should we tell her?”

Bree: “Tell me what?”

Tommy: “Your next opponent. There’s a little rumour going around.”

Bree: “It’s not Rachel. She’s not earned anything!”

Tommy: “Oh no…”

Kandis shakes her head.

Tommy: “Man Mountain himself. Scott can now try to help you out again. Then again…it is only a rumour.”

Bree almost looks ill.

Bree: “That better be a rumour. If not…oh God, I’m going to be sick.”

Bree heads off. Tommy waves.

Kandis: “And if Rachel comes after you, Tommy?”

Tommy: “We’ll play it by ear. We have other things to worry about.”

Kandis smirks as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The opening chords of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to echo throughout the stadium. With each opening drum beat, the logo of the Social Misfits flashes on the jumbotron...

Yeah, I get it you're an outcast
Always under attack always coming in last
Bringing up the past no one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast a kick in the ass
So paranoid

WATCH YOUR BACK!

With those words, an explosion or pyro shoots high into the air from the stage and in front of the stage in another wall of sparks. Lights start to circle the arena as several spotlights turn to the stage. Jake Starr walks out from the back and looks around. He just smiles and nods. He surveys the crowd, feeling their energy and absorbing it all in. His nameplate comes up as Jake Starr starts to head down to the ring. He makes his way down the rampway before going to the guardrail and fist bumping a few fans and then going to the other side before doing the same.

Sharper: “Jake Starr is on his way to the ring and a lot of people are wondering why he involved himself in Jordan Majors situation. We’re all pleased he helped her when Infamous sought to attack her again at Under Attack after Majors beat Ravyn.”

Knots: “Maybe he has turned over a new leaf. It is a new Starr. Thinking about someone else.”

Starr heads to the ring and hops onto the apron. He steps into the ring. He immediately makes his way to the far corner, climbing to the top rope. As the chorus hits, a spotlight illuminates Jake and he simply stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. He points at himself, and ultimately yells the words "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" He looks around, continuing to soak up the energy from the crowd before beating on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd who have been supporters over the years. After this, he goes camera side and climbs on the middle rope raising his arm one more time. He looks around before hopping down and walking over to the corner. Jason Phillips hands him a microphone. He takes it and walks around the ring. The crowd cheers a bit as the music fades out.

Starr: “Alright alright... I know there's a lot of question in the air surrounding Under Attack, and everything that went down.”

He pause as the crowd roars.

Starr: “I know people are curious why I did what I did.  The history between Infamous and I is no secret, but for once, it wasn't about our past.  It wasn’t about rekindling a feud.  I had a much more important reason behind my actions, and I want to just get it out in the open, so Jordan Majors, if I could respectfully request your company here in this ring...”

Knots: “Respectfully? Is this a fake? He respectfully asks someone to come on out.”

The lights go down and flash purple as "Nightmare" by Halsey starts to play. The crowd roars. Jake Starr looks at the entrance way, a slight smile on his face. The crowd buzzes.

Sharper: “We’re going to find this out. Says he’s going to get it out of the open. Get what though?”

Jordan Majors walks out from the back, wearing a Scott Burnside exclusive. She looks down at the ring and at Starr before starting to walk down to the ring, calmer than we’ve usually seen her. Starr watches as Jordan Majors reaches the bottom of the ramp and walks up the steel steps. Starr then holds the ropes open for Jordan. Jordan looks at him and steps in.

Sharper: “Some trust there.”

Knots: “Something is up here.”

Jordan walks forward and looks at Starr. Starr motions for her to get a microphone. Jordan walks across and asks for one. Phillips hands her one. She turns back to the middle of the ring.

Majors: “You really want to do this?”

Starr: “I do.”

Majors: “Okay then…”

Starr nods.

Starr: “Jordan, you and I aren't the strangers everyone thinks we are.  And you're also someone I promised to keep my distance from, and let do her own thing.  For a long time I kept that promise, and kept my distance, but...”

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

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

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

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

“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to erupt into a sea of boos as Ravyn Taylor walks out from the back. She has a microphone in her hand. Notably, Christy Matthews stands behind her with Alexander Crowe alongside them.

Sharper: “Not surprised. Ravyn Taylor has something to say about this. But what was Starr going to say?”

Knots: “I’m sure she wants to hear it in person, but Christy Matthews is firmly with her. That’s new after the last few weeks.”

Ravyn looks around as Starr turns to the entrance way, as does Jordan. Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “I’m sorry, but I figured I would come out for this. I mean whatever this was was important enough for you to actually unearth a rivalry, regardless of whatever excuse you provide.”

Starr: “Oh I know and if I have to join in the crusade to kick Infamous’ ass again, well I have no problem with that. I mean Jordan here’s already beaten you twice!”

Jordan: “That is true.”

The crowd roars.

Ravyn: “Well if it was so easy, then you could’ve assumed she could’ve defeated me even against all odds. We just added to the challenge. Then again, I will note that your significant other has proven to be an interesting thorn in my side. Is that what this is about? For so long, you realized you had your rats being the term you and Alex would use, and now you feel not to hide it to your wife?”

The crowd ohs as Starr looks down, trying not to react. Jordan just shakes her head.

Ravyn: “I suppose we should give you some kudos for announcing it on an international vehicle like SCW Breakdown. Amazing…makes something up for what else we will be involved in tonight, but-“

Starr: “Alright... You both now have the dubious right to shut up now!”

The crowd roars. Ravyn just smirks.

Majors: “You don’t have a clue.”

Ravyn: “Oh my, really? Well, I mean its intriguing that you wish to have us shut up when you seem to struggle with that. Although it’s more intriguing how uncomfortable you are. The question is what makes her so special? Maybe she’s the real reason for all of the problems you had that led to your time away? And now you’ve realized to grow from it. Again, remarkable-“

Jordan: “Ravyn. This is nothing to do with that and much more than some fling. Just because that’s how you and Syren found each other. Crowe too. You don’t need to project more.”

Ravyn: “And yet we know true love. I mean, Jake Starr came out, brandishing a chair, and preparing himself for a war he knows was VERY personal in the past…So-“

Jake goes to climb out of the ring but is restrained by Jordan. The crowd erupts with Ravyn laughing. Christy looks on as Crowe steps forward, ready to meet Jake in case he gets free. Jordan keeps telling him no. Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “Come on. Let him go. Without a chair, he can prove his masculinity. Maybe even get a little win. He doesn’t have to feel inadequate when his repeated night stand has more victories against me than he does! Then again, if he does come after us, it will be a significant mistake.”

Jake immediately snaps back.

Starr: “I'm making the mistake?  HA!  No the fact is you ALL made the grave mistake at Under Attack by attacking Jordan, like you did.  You decided to have that gang-like mentality and go after the wrong person. You can make your little jokes insinuating there's some kind of relationship, here, and to a degree you're right. But it isn't like you think. You see, you made the GRAVE mistake of attacking Jordan Majors!”

He looks right at Jordan at this point before turning back to Ravyn, Christy and Alexander.

Starr: “And as the saying goes... BIG BROTHER WAS WATCHING, AND NOBODY GETS AWAY WITH GANG ATTACKING MY LITTLE SISTER!”

Jake throws the mic down as the crowd roars. Ravyn just smiles as Christy looks a bit surprised. Crowe turns to Ravyn as Starr steps forward to the ropes and Jordan stops him.

Sharper: “Little sister? Big brother?”

Knots: “They’re related?!”

Ravyn turns to Christy, clearly interested in this turn of events. She goes to respond, but Starr this time gets free. He then motions to Jordan and Jordan shrugs and exits the ring. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “And they’re going for more!”

Knots: “Infamous wants none! This changes the mental calculus!”

Crowe quickly backs up and Ravyn motions for him to go. Christy does too. Infamous quickly retreats to the back as Starr stops at the halfway point of the ramp. Jordan then looks at the stage before turning to Jake. Jake looks around. The crowd is still buzzing as he does before turning to Jordan. He wraps his arm around her a bit as Jordan looks at him, watching him before the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Ravyn Taylor getting thrown into a wall by Kim Williams. Crowe can be seen holding himself by the crotch, clearly in pain as Marie nails Christy with a hard right and then a clubbing blow and another. Christy tries to take her down as Marie spins through and gets on top of her, nailing her with repeated shots to the jaw. Christy throws shots too as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown! Twin Magic! Marie Jones and Kim Williams are going after Infamous!”

Knots: “Christy Matthews took Marie out. Marie looks great tonight! And she’s going for blood!”

Sharper: “Kim must’ve got a shot in on Alexander Crowe! Ravyn is down!”

Kim goes over and kicks at Ravyn before turning back and kicking Crowe in the chest. He falls back. Ravyn stirs as Christy keeps covering up as Marie attacks her.

Kim: “Come on Marie! Kick her ass! More shots! Shots! Shots! Shots!”

Officials run into the scene and start to pull Marie off of Christy. A few get over to Kim to keep her away.

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Peyton Rice

SCW Television Championship

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

Phillips: “The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first from Seattle, WA.! Weighing in at 175 lbs., here is Aaron Blackbourne!”

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

Sharper: “Huge opportunity for Aaron to become a three-time Television Champion and ruin the chance for Peyton Rice to make history tonight, trying the longest reigning record for the belt.”

Knots: “And that is why her title reign is in jeopardy. Aaron has beaten Syren and Abigail Lindsay in the last of couple of PPV’s, he is winning and that may not stop here tonight, we could possibly see a new TV Champion and from what I hear, Peyton is still rattled from Under Attack.”

The arena goes dark before a lone spotlight shines on the entrance, suddenly the opening beats to “All The Days" by Mammoth play throughout the arena as the beautiful Peyton Rice walks out in wrestling gear and jacket. Her long dark blonde hair hanging down. She looks around at the crowd before getting to one knee and making a line across the entrance, she crosses her arms and lowers her head for a moment before standing up and pointing to the ring as the crowd roars.

With her gorgeous and contagious smile, Peyton starts to walk to the ring, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before hopping into the apron and pointing the crowd before flipping over the top rope as the crowd roars and stepping on the second rope, raising her arms and looking up, she then thanks the fans while being announced….

Phillips: “From Glendale, Arizona! Weighing in at 115 pounds, here is “Pretty” Peyton Rice!”

The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little, standing in the corner and awaiting for the match to begin…..

Sharper: “This young woman has defied the odds over and over, this maybe her toughest challenge but Peyton is ready for it even if she is still a little shaken from Under Attack.”

Knots: “She is but you are right, Peyton has flown up the ranks because of her constant resilience and dedicated, two future World Champions on display over the TV Title tonight.”

The referee checks both competitors, before calling for the bell. Peyton and Aaron circle the ring and shake hands to the cheer from the crowd. They both smile before getting their game faces on, Peyton can be seen looking around outside the ring before locking up with Aaron, quickly turning behind him but Aaron wedges his arms between hers, breaking and spinning with an arm drag, Peyton lands hard but gets up, Aaron tries a hip toss but Peyton reverses, instead hip tossing Aaron who lands on his back but quickly kips up, Peyton charges him but Aaron leap frogs, she turns and he takes her down with a side leg lock but Peyton quickly transitions into a head scissors, Aaron kicks up again, Peyton rolls to her feet, Aaron charges in and she leg sweeps him, he falls as she grabs his legs ad flips over in a pin…

Knots: “Peyton knows to start off quick, she has to keep Aaron on his heels but right now he is matching move for move. Peyton is so fast; she needs to capitalize on that speed.”

Aaron and Peyton slap hands in a show of respect again before circling the ring, they lock up, Peyton drops to one knee and tries to gain the advantage, but Aaron is able to counter, quickly rolling behind her for a School Girl…

Aaron nods, looking at the referee as he holds up two fingers while Peyton stirs and tries to get to her feet.

Sharper: “Aaron may have just shifted the tide of the match to his favor but he is going to find it hard for to keep Peyton rice down who is on the verge of history here, a win and she ties the longest reign by a TV Champion with Ravyn Taylor, if Aaron wins, he become the only three time TV Champion.”

Knots: “Did you notice that a few times already Peyton has looked outside the ring, that you woman is still rattled after what happened to Damian Angel and that could creep up and cost her.”

Sharper: “You’re right, that little lapse of focus against a great wrestler and future World Champion, like Aaron Blackbourne could be the difference in this match. Right now, she is in a lot of trouble.”

Aaron grabs Peyton’s arm and gets her back on her feet, he whips her into the turnbuckle, following through with a flying clothesline but Peyton jumps up and kicks Aaron in the side of the head, he stumbles back some, she sprints on the top rope and hits a Hurricarana whipping Aaron half-way across the ring as the crowd roars….

Sharper: “What a move by Rice!”

The crowd roars, as Peyton slowly gets up, climbing to the top rope….

Phillips: “The Winner of the match and NEW SCW Television Champion….. AARON BLACKBOURNE!”

“The Nexus” by Amaranthe plays as Aaron is shocked as well, the referee hands him the gold, he looks at it for a second then back at a dejected Peyton sitting on the mat with her head down…

Sharper: “Heartbreaker. One win away from tying the record for longest reigning Television Champion and Aaron Blackbourne took in a wrestling match that saw two of the biggest rising stars in our sport compete for that gold. She didn’t look right though Jon.”

Knots: “Something distracted her, she has been shaken up all match and I told you, a split second could make a difference and you’re right, she worked so hard for this and it ends but you know what, that young lady right there proved she belongs in the SCW.”

Sharper: “Damn right she does and …. Wait what is Aaron doing.”

Aaron drops to his knees and looks at Peyton who has tears in her eyes. He shakes his head, handing her the belt but she shakes hers saying no. She grabs it and hangs it over his shoulder. Aaron picks her up and the two embrace as the crowd roars…

Sharper: “A moment we hardly see in our sport anymore, the spirit of competition between two great competitors and friends. Aaron is the new TV Champion, but it was almost as if he didn’t want to take it from her.”

Knots: “He knows she wasn’t right; it was a sign of respect between the two. How can you not like Peyton, even I like her and that says a lot. A hell of a reign, she doesn’t need to hang her head on this one and now a record 3-time reign for Blackbourne, history was made tonight either way.”

Sharper: “The fans are showing it and out hats go off to these two fine young athletes.”

They continue to embrace, Aaron is talking to her and she is nodding, listening to his advice as he raises her arm and she raises hers but pulls away and nods, letting him celebrate his win as she rolls out of the ring and starts to head up the ramp to a huge ovation from the crowd and her title reign….

Breakdown returns as we see Peyton Rice backstage with Alistaire Allocco. Aaron Blackbourne is also with them.

Alistaire: “Are you okay?”

Peyton: “Yeah…just…this whole situation with Damian got me. With everything else.”

Alistaire: “I knew he was trouble.”

Aaron: “Look, I said this out-“

Peyton: “No, Aaron. You beat me. I’m not making any excuses there. You beat me. I let Damian into my head and trust me, if I’m losing that title, I’m glad its to someone like you.”

Aaron: “I appreciate it.”

Alistaire: “Well, get relaxed. I need to deal with something. My dad…just…”

Peyton: “Alright. It’ll be good to make just relax. After everything.”

Alistaire: “Of course.”

Alistaire heads off as Peyton looks on. The camera follows Alistaire as he continues to make his way to his planned destination before he slows down and stops. Glory Braddock stands a few feet away from him.

Alistaire: “Glory…”

Glory: “You know, I was hoping I’d run into you.”

Alistaire: “I don’t know if I was or was not.”

Glory: “Well, you probably know what I’m looking for. After months…”

Alistaire: “I’m still not sold on your character. That stunt with Sienna-“

Glory: “Was figuring out what really was at work. Did it work out? No. But while you can have your principles, I understand that so many of us don’t. So. Try this again…I know you have something to say to me.”

Alistaire sighs.

Alistaire: “I was wrong. You certainly have the-“

Just then, we see Glory shoved back and Alistaire turns as he’s shoved against the wall. Clyde Sutter is the assailant as we realize he has a pipe in his hand and turns and nails Alistaire hard in the ankle. Alistaire drops, letting out a yell. Sutter then backs up, laughing. Glory gets up and runs over.

Glory: “What the hell did you do?”

Sutter: “I always wanted ta Tonya Harding someone. Just a thank you for getting me in a business where I can do it!”

Sutter laughs. Glory turns and checks on Alistaire. Alistaire clutches his ankle in pain.

Edgar Allen Pollock vs. Corey Reyes

Sharper: “Unbelievable! Clyde Sutter attacking the former World Champion!”

Knots: “That doesn’t look good. Right to the ankle. Sutter had a plan. And thanking Glory?”

Sharper: “She was the one who got him into SCW…”

Suddenly inside the ring, Jason Phillips stands proudly dead center as the crowd watches on, a few cheers occur knowing they’ll see some wrestling… and this becomes a reality for some when the lights in the arena begin to dim and smoke begins to cover the top of the ramp as "Heart vs. Mind" begins to play throughout the arena. A spotlight shines on the top of the ramp as we see Corey Reyes on one knee with his arms spread out like a cross.

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

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

Sharper: “Two years of experience and a whole lot of confidence this kid has, spoke with him earlier before the show and he’s been looking forward to this opportunity.”

Knots: “SCW is the place to be, be hard pressed to find anywhere else to compete at the highest of levels.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Knots: “Pollock’s, it rhymes with something Keenie says often…”

Sharper: “Do I want to know? Either way, your wonderful wife notwithstanding. Edgar here is a vet of five years and a character actor, with aspirations of performing on Broadway.”

Knots: “Well many have gone onto successful film careers, so why not the theatre?!”

Sharper: “I’ve seen the tape of his ring work and he’s good, they both are and dare I say evenly matched to boot. This should be an interesting contest between the two.”

The bell immediately sounds, the fans begin to settle down when both men step out of their corner. Edgar watching Reyes closely as he turns to look at the fans and tries to pump them up which seems to work a little. He walks out of his corner further and offers a hand to Pollock, a sign of good sportsmanship between two men making their debuts. Edgar looks down at the hand and approaches Reyes who is insistent. The fans support this choice and get behind both men, and a few cheers get louder as Edgar slowly moves his hand towards Reyes only to then stop and turn his nose up at the gesture like he smelt something foul and waves him off disparagingly, the fans now boo…

Knots: “Pollock not looking to shake hands with Reyes, guess he doesn’t trust where it’ been.”

Sharper: “Sportsmanship isn’t a bad thing Jon, you know that. Edgar showing what he thinks of his opponent and that could well bite him in the butt later!”

Reyes looks to the crowd and shrugs his shoulders, he tried but that moment would be lost on him with Edgar charging across the ring and hitting a leaping knee to the chest of Reyes, he stumbles back into the ropes taken off guard by it as the crowd continues to boo now, Pollock taking a bow to the crowd which only riles them up more. Reyes is quick to charge out of the ring and hits a running knee and then a chop to the chest of Pollock, he hits another before sending Edgar cross the ring into a corner with authority, the broadway star stumbles out only to get caught with dropkick which takes him off his feet, Reyes quickly covers.

1… KICK OUT BY POLLOCK!

The crowd is getting behind Reyes now as he quickly goes on the offensive, he pulls edgar up and drags him to the corner this time and hits a chop to the chest, he hits another and another, each one seemingly hitting harder than the last, the expressions on Edgars face truly selling that fact. He tries to get out of the corner, but Reyes pushes him back but for his trouble a rake to the eyes stuns Corey. The crowd boos as the official interjects warning Edgar who again bushes him away with his hand as he now hits a chop to the chest of Reyes, he stumbles back and a Savate kick takes over doubling him over before running the ropes himself and leaping over the doubled over Reyes with a sunset flip, Edgar catching his legs on Reyes and the flip sends him into the canvas, Edgar holding on for a pin attempt.

1… KICK OUT BY REYES!!

Corey springs out of it and rolls away from Edgar who continues to sit on the canvas and grins. Reyes wasn’t expecting it and quickly gets to his, Edgar rolling to a knee and pushes himself to his feet with his flair. Reyes shakes his head and approaches and the two lock up, Corey driving a knee now into the gut of Edgar before applying a front face lock and flipping him into the canvas with a suplex. Edgar winces but begins to get to his feet. He is assisted by Reyes who sends him to the ropes, but Edgar spins through on his feet and sends Reyes instead, but the young star leaps onto the middle rope and spring boards off as Edgar turns and is caught with a cross body which takes him off his feet. Reyes once again on the offensive as he hammers away at Edgar who tries valiantly to protect his face.

Sharper: “Both men with quick pin fall attempts, but Reyes on the offensive now.”

Knots: “Edgar protecting his face best he can, it’s his money maker.”

The fans rally behind Reyes as he continues to throw shots at Edgar on the canvas, but that quickly turns to boos now when Edgar once again rakes the eyes of Reyes before pushing him away as he rolls to the side holding his face. The referee gets in his face once again as he stands up and gives him a second warning, but the look on Pollocks face is one of being incensed as he touches his nose to see a little blood had been drawn. He licks his fingers and sneers now as Reyes gets to his feet. Edgar charges across and spins around before connecting with a discus forearm shot to the back of the head which sends Reyes falling into the corner in a seated position which even the fans felt. Quickly backing up to the opposite corner, Edgar runs across the ring and hurls himself at Reyes while turning himself into a cannon ball and crashes into the seated star to “oohs” form the crowd.

Sharper: “Edgar Allen Pollock just threw himself at Reyes there, little to no care at all for his own wellbeing.”

Knots: “or Reyes for that matter which I think was the point!”

Edgar rolls back and then to his feet in a fluid motion as boo’s rain our from the SCW fans. Edgar turns and once again with his flair takes a bow which only annoys the crowd further. He then rushes over to Reyes and pulls him out of the corner and covers.

2… KICK OUT BY REYES!!

Sharper: “Spent too much time with the crowd, that arrogance shining through.”

Knots: “Like all great actors… apart from my Kennedy, she’s as humble as apple pie.”

Edgar: “YOU ARE RUINING MY ART!!”

Edgar looks at the official incensed and slaps his hands together demanding he count faster, he is ruinning his art which gets a cheer from the crowd. Reyes rolls to his feet as Edgar continues to argue with the official. The distraction all Edgars fault is enough to give Reyes the moment he needs to grab Pollock and hit a pump handle neckbreaker to the cheers of the crowd. He winces and is quickly scales and hits a second rope moonsault onto Pollocl before covering himself.

1…

2… KICK OUT BY EDGAR ALLEN POLLOCK!!!

Sharper: “Close but no cigar there for Reyes!”

Knots: “Both with close two counts, got to sense this’ll end soon.”

Reyes steps away from the official and throws his arms to the side mockingly of Edgar.

Reyes: “What about THE ART?!”

That catches a few laughs from the SCW Fans as he focuses back on Edgar by helping him to his feet. He connects with a jab and goes for a right hook which connects with Edgar seemingly out on his feet. Reyes connects with another jab and spins on his feet looking for a discus clothesline, but Edgar snaps out of it and blocks before connecting with a flurry of strikes and elbows he calls And ACTION! Taking Reyes by surprise along with some fans.

Knots: “God damn where did that come from, he was out on his feet?!”

Sharper: “I don’t’ know but it did happen and now Reyes is out on his!”

Reyes now staggers on to his feet and this is where Edgar kicks him in the gut doubling him over and pushes his head between his legs. The SCW fans begin to buzz but their question is answered as Edgar lifts Reyes up into the air and delivers a sit out powerbomb before holding it for a pin attempt…

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY REYES!!

The crowd roars loudly as Reyes rolls a way holding his back, whatever fight he had in him certainly working overtime. Edgar falls back to the canvas holding his head he can’t believe it either before sitting up looking more and more angry at this blatant disregard for his art. He rolls back now sits in wait in the corner now watching Corey Reyes as he starts to stir…

Sharper: “What is he doing now, why is he sitting there?!”

Knots: “He’s wondering what he has to do to shut him down and get that win!”

Reyes shakes his head as the official looks at both me, Edgar now pulling himself up form the corner with the assist of the ropes. Edgar now stands up right and takes a deep breath before moving his hand down in front of his face and mouths the words “And Scene…” just as Reyes gets to his feet, he then sprints out of the corner and does a cartwheel towards Reyes who turns around as the crowd roars loudly. Edgar then drops down and hits a capoeira kick to the temple of Corey Reyes knocking him down to the canvas, then and only then does Edgar waste no time in covering him, this time hooking both the legs to jeers from the crowd.

3!!!

The Bell sounds and the crowd begins to book loudly as "Moonlight" Sonata op 27 # 2 Mov 1,2 by Valentina Lisitsa begins to play. Edgar gets to his feet and points to his wrist which the official grabs and raises into the air.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner of this match as a result of a pin fall… EDGAR ALLEN POLLOCK!!!”

More boos from the crowd fill the air, however from some situated at ringside we see them throw a few roses into the ring as he stands now taking a bow…

Sharper: “Hard fought match for both these men, a welcome to them both to SCW but there could be only one victor tonight and that was Edgar Allen Pollock, theatre star and now professional wrestler.”

Knots: “Great victory for Pollock, but Reyes isn’t like many others on the roster, will be interested to see how he fairs against other talent.”

Sharper: “Speaking of other talent, we have a stacked show for you still to come. We’ll be right back…”

The focus is now on Edgar who has collected the roses and is now making a slow lap of the ringside area waving to the fans who are clearly booing him, he doesn’t care however it seems as he takes another bow towards them as SCW heads backstage.

Backstage, we see Katie Steward arriving backstage with TJ Johnson, Gigi Steward and Maddy Steward. They look around as Jessica Winters can be seen waiting for them.

Katie: “Now this is more like it. TJ…SCW realizing that when they didn’t have their Goddess, everything went to hell. No respect for anyone or anything. All because I was gone. And now they finally show some respect. Coming to meet me.”

Jessica: “Yes, Katie, I was waiting for you to make your appearance.”

Katie: “Well Jessica, I’ll tell you everything you need to know. After God of Wrestling where I was stolen of my rightful crown, I am here to lead the Steward family right to the top. Gigi, Maddy, they’re facing what? Two coffee sellers. What they need to do is can the coffee and start to believe in the Goddess? That will help everyone.”

Jessica: “But what about your plan to tell this great story? You were upset about-“

Katie: “Please. I always tell a great story. In my time away, I realized one simple thing…I’m Katie Steward. They are Gigi and Maddy. We show up and people watch. That’s simple. And if people don’t want to be under our creative direction, their loss.”

Katie then walks off with TJ following. Maddy and Gigi are a few strides behind.

Knots: “The Angel leaves and the Goddess returns!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown opens up. The crowd buzzes before the arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. The crowd cheers as Regan Street walks out from the back. She looks around the arena. The camera focuses on her for a few moments before she makes her way down the ramp to the ring.

Sharper: “Regan Street here alone. The talk is that Regan promised her she would behave.”

Knots: “Or not.”

Regan Street reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron before stepping into the ring. She walks across and looks around before getting a microphone waiting for her at the apron. She turns and walks to the middle of the ring. Her music fades out.

Regan: “The last couple of weeks have been trying ones. First off, to Selena Frost, I hope you’re still doing well, recovering from the hell that happened in that Empty Arena match. I wish I could say more right now, but I simply can’t. I respect her too much.”

Regan pauses as the crowd applauds a bit.

Regan: “But I can talk about the SCW Adrenaline Championship match at Under Attack. And I don’t know if you noticed, but I seem to be missing about ten pounds of gold. That’s right, Asher Hayes is still the Adrenaline Champion.”

Regan paces a bit. The crowd gives a generally positive, but some negative reaction.

Regan: “Look, I’m not going to say a damn thing bad about Asher Hayes as a wrestler. The guy can still go and to be off, and ready at this level shows a lot of what could have been, but I don’t have to like the way that match ended. A draw. Like kissing your sister…Not that I’ve done that you perverts.”

The crowd roars.

Regan: “But here’s the thing…I know that you didn’t like the draw. I know that you wanted to beat me. I know a lot of things and yet, when that draw happened, while the crowd was chanting for more time, you took your title and walked away. Now, I know you’re not a coward. But given that I have come after you time and time again-“

The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Rope" by the Foo Fighters echo throughout the arena. At the 13 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the stage. He then starts to walk down to the ring.

Sharper: “He’s not a coward at all. He’s walking right to the ring.”

Knots: “Going to tell her his reasoning right to her face.”

The crowd cheers some as Regan watches him. Asher Hayes walks down to the ring and pulls himself onto the apron. He then steps into the ring. He steps forward and walks past her. He asks for a microphone. Phillips obliges, handing him one. Asher takes it and walks back to the ring.

Asher: “You know, Regan, you’re right. I do owe you an explanation. The crowd wanted five more minutes. I don’t like draws too, and frankly, part of me wanted to get back into the ring, but…..I didn’t.”

Asher looks at the SCW Adrenaline Championship belt over his shoulder.

Asher: “I took this title, heard the result announced and started to leave. And it’s not just because I had some hot date after the show either, even though we all know that is true. But…”

Asher looks around as the crowd cheers some. He shrugs.

Asher: “The reason I did it was simple. I know damn well how good you are. I’ve been in two matches with you. One won this title. The other, that draw. And the fact is…I respect you so much. That much. When that hand came down for three, counting us both down, that was the end of the match. The referee called it. The bell rang. I didn’t push for five more minutes, even if would’ve torn the house down for one simple reason. I know you had the drive…the drive to get close. But come on Regan, still there’s another gear. The gear that drove you against Datura. I want THAT Regan in the ring. Where’s there’s no more to go. That’s the truest test for me. To know if I am back or not!”

The crowd roars a bit as Regan looks down.

Asher: “I rolled to the floor and realized that I dodged a bullet. I’ll flat out admit it. But Regan…you didn’t beat me. At Apocalypse, you were still thinking about Datura. You had a bit more of a drive because you wanted this back. But it still wasn’t the same. I want the Regan, back against the wall, needing to fight for EVERYTHING…and with your Trios Tournament contract, there’s an opportunity there for something really special. Something that I know will get that. And to be honest, I can-“

Regan: “And what makes you think that’s an option.”

Regan looks away, clearly wanting to say something else.”

Asher: “Come on Regan-“

The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena. Asher and Regan turn to the entrance way as Gavin Taylor walks out from the back, his arms outstretched and smiling, a microphone in his hand. He then starts to walk down to the ring.

Gavin: “Don’t worry Asher. I know what you want. You want that next level. That next challenge. That next high? Or wait, is that your past? Either way, don’t worry. Your answer is here! And Regan, you too. I mean, you can finally have someone beat his ass for you! You can watch. Pick up a few tricks. That’s right, Asher, baby! The All-Star is looking RIGHT at you.”

Gavin walks down to the ring. He then smiles as the crowd boos.

Gavin: “In fact, if there’s none of this Trios craziness going on, well, Asher, I can tell you, without fail, thanks to the AMAZING work of my agent.”

Gavin walks up the steel steps.

Gavin: “The ink is barely dried, but Asher…well…you get to lose your Adrenaline Championship to me! And don’t worry, it comes with some perks. I mean you get to lose to the rising star in this sport. That’s great. I know you have this whole one hundred days business, but come on, breaking that streak with me. Everyone will understand.”

Gavin steps into the ring.

Regan: “Do you believe this guy?”

Asher: “Not really.”

Gavin walks over.

Gavin: “Don’t worry. It’s hard to understand when you’re in the ring with someone this good. At least I hope Asher, you won’t rely on sore losing, and cheap shots, when I beat you and show you and the world, on behalf of Reg here, I can call you Reg. Great…that I’m the History-Maker, the Real-World Jedi, The Franchise Player, the MVP for life-“

Regan suddenly cracks him with a hard right. Gavin hits the mat and rolls over. The crowd cheers. Regan turns to the camera.

Regan: “Sorry Miks…but he deserved that.”

Regan turns to Asher.

Regan: “Hope you enjoy what you’re actually getting.”

Regan then steps through the ropes and drops to the floor. She heads to the back as Gavin continues to hold his jaw as Asher looks at him.

Asher: “Dude, you did deserve it. And you’re not taking this.”

“Rope” plays as Asher Hayes steps over him and over to the ropes. He watches Regan as she heads off and he drops to the floor.

Knots: “Regan not using the Trios?”

Sharper: “I don’t know what to make of that. Maybe she has something else at work. But Gavin Taylor sticking his nose into another issue and apparently, he’s next in line for the SCW Adrenaline Championship!”

Knots: “We’ll never hear the end of it!”

Asher heads to the back too as we cut away.

COMMERCIALS

Regan Street is shown walking backstage before Jessica Winters heads over to her.

Jessica: “Regan? Can I-“

Regan: “Sorry Jessica. But there’s nothing more I’m willing to say right now. I’m not using any Trios contract on facing Asher Hayes again.”

Jessica: “But-“

Regan: “He’s trying to fight someone that already exists. He can now have fun with Gavin. One day, I’ll be coming back for that title, but it looks like I’m going to have to wait in line. Not happy about it. But…that’s how things should be done. I failed in the rematch. Simply put.”

Regan starts to head off. She then turns and heads over to another figure, one Konrad Raab.

Regan: “Konrad!”

Konrad turns and looks at Regan.

Konrad: “Oh, Regan. Good to see you. I’m a bit surprised you’re talking to me here. Figured you’d dealing with other things. Is Selena well?”

Regan: “She’s going to be fine. But I figured you and I both need a bit of a palate cleanser. You had the blip with the US contendership tournament. Me with Asher. How about we have that match we owe each other.”

Konrad: “I can’t next week-“

Regan: “Two weeks then. You good?”

Konrad: “Of course.”

Konrad smiles.

Regan: “Good.”

Regan turns and heads off as Konrad smiles.

Team Desire vs. El Lucho Brothers

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Queen:” by Loren Gray plays. Katie Steward walks out from the back with TJ Johnson. She looks around before turning behind her as Gigi Steward and Maddy Steward walk out from the back, wearing their gear. The two look around as the crowd boos. They then start to walk down to the ring as a unit.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on their way to the ring, accompanied by Katie Steward and TJ Johnson, they Gigi Steward and Maddy Steward, Team Desire 2.0!”

The crowd boos as the Stewards walk down to the ring. Gigi hops onto the apron and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. Maddy slides in and walks around and goes to the ropes. Katie walks up the steel steps and TJ rolls into the ring. He holds the ropes open for Katie who steps into the middle of the ring. Katie then poses in the middle of the ring.

Sharper: “Katie Steward proudly showing off Team Desire 2.0. She’s back. Already making her presence felt.”

Knots: “Every in earshot knows that. She’s not happy about losing the God of Wrestling Tournament. Now she’s not happy about facing El Lucho Brothers! Well Team Desire doing that!”

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

Phillips: “Their opponents, from Soconusco in Mexico, driven to the ring by Nate Patrick, they are the team of El Lucho Grande and El Lucho Venti, the El Lucho Brothers!”

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

Sharper: “They’re undefeated thus far, the El Lucho Brothers are.”

Knots: “Yeah and they’re still peddling that coffee!”

Sharper: “Why do you hate their coffee?”

Knots: “I have some stock options in Starbucks.”

The bell sounds and El Lucho Grande starts in the ring as Gigi starts out for Team Desire. The two walk toward one another and Grande grabs Gigi’s left arm and wrenches it. He then swings it around and wrenches it again. Gigi winces and looks up. Grande then jerks on it again. He then turns and does a very slow, deliberate somersault and gets up. He looks around and Gigi looks at him and quickly kicks him in the ribs. The crowd boos. Gigi forearms him in the jaw and then again before pushing him into the corner. Gigi then nails him with a series of hard rights as Grande covers up.

Grande winces as Maddy runs into the ropes. She bounces off and runs at Grande. Grande goes for a clothesline. Maddy slides underneath. Grande turns around and Maddy hits a dropkick. Grande stumbles back and falls to his back. Maddy goes for the pin.

The crowd ohs and Gigi falls over and down to the mat. Grande falls back and tags in Venti.

Sharper: “Grande with a huge uppercut. Gigi had no way to block.”

The crowd boos. Maddy gets up and Venti enters and runs in and hits a spinning heel kick. Maddy rolls over and out of the ring. Katie looks around as Venti rolls to the apron. He scrambles up and goes to the corner. Grande stirs and tags in Venti.

Sharper: “Venti stopping Maddy as she manages to take him down!”

Knots: “But Grande’s fighting up! Gigi too! Katie’s stunned!”

Sharper: “And here comes the tag!”

Venti gets up and runs over to Gigi. He hits an overhead chop to the chest and runs her at Grande. Grande spins around her and hooks her arms before hoisting her up and over his back. Venti runs into the ropes, bounces off and they connect with Kaosaren Maila. The crowd ohs. Gigi rolls over. Venti goes for the pin.

The bell sounds as Maddy tries to reach to get in, but Venti dives toward her. Katie lets out a scream in anger.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, El Lucho Grande and El Lucho Venti, the El Lucho Brothers!”

The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “The El Lucho Brothers keep the win streak going!”

Knots: “And they already called out the Tag Champs!”

Sharper: “Yes they did! And look out! Look out! Some people who may not be pleased about that are coming down!”

We cut to the rampway as Kandis and Tommy run down and Kandis shoves Katie out of the way. She lets out an angry yell as Tommy slides in. Kandis rolls in. Grande turns and Tommy runs at him and nails him with the Knee Deep. The crowd ohs. Venti turns to Tommy and then turns as Kandis grabs him and hits the Starmaker. The crowd ohs as both El Lucho Brothers drop to the mat. Nate Patrick looks on stunned. The crowd boos. Kandis and Tommy look at them as Tommy turns to them.

Tommy: “Wait your turn!”

He backs up as the crowd boos and Kandis looks at him. The two smile.

Sharper: “Kandis and Tommy Valentine coming out and assaulting El Lucho Brothers!”

Knots: “Guess they didn’t take kindly to them approaching Ryan Watson earlier!”

Sharper: “And both looking to rebound from Under Attack. They want the next tag team championship opportunity! Ryan Watson even said they wanted to give it them at Under Attack if they won!”

Knots: “Another headache for Sasha!”

Tommy and Kandis back up as TJ tries to stop Katie from getting into the ring as the scene cuts away.

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

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

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

“INFAMOUS!”

The opening of “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up, we find Syren standing in the middle of the stage. The crowd boos as CHBK then walks out from the back and joins her. Syren looks around and then starts to head to the ring, a sneer on her face.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor referenced that Infamous had other plans. Looks like they’re about to take place here.”

Knots: “You mean that Syren is going to reveal her plan failed? Or maybe she’ll just say she had nothing to do with it!”

Sharper: “Syren thrown through the chains of the chamber. They sheered and Syren fell to the floor. She was not allowed to return.”

Knots: “Yeah. Good riddance. She probably had a hand in it and it burned her!”

Syren reaches the ring as she looks out at the crowd. CHBK walks over to the steps as Syren walks up the steel steps and then walks along the apron before stepping into the ring. CHBK then follows up the steel steps and follows in. CHBK walks over to the middle of the ring. He goes over to the corner and asks for a microphone as Syren walks to the ropes, starting to jaw with a fan. CHBK walks over and gets Syren’s attention before handing her the microphone. Syren takes it and looks around. She turns back to the fans she was jawing with.

Syren: “Don’t start with me. SCW only comes to this hellhole once and year and we can make sure you never see us live again!”

The crowd boos as CHBK motions to Syren as Syren turns back and looks down at the mat before turning back to the camera.

Syren: “Think I’m not pissed off? I should be standing here as the SCW World Champion and I’m not because of some bulls[bleep]!”

The crowd boos. Syren looks around.

Syren: “James Evans took me and threw me into the Chamber. I’ve been in it. Ravyn’s been in it. CHBK has been in it. We’ve all been in it. And we’ve been thrown hard into those chains. We’ve done it all in there. Left blood in there. And I go into the chains and they snap. I go through. I land on my head and neck!”

The crowd cheers. Syren stops and looks around.

Syren: “What the hell kind of two-bit promotion is this? Months ago I stood with Katya because we had a vision. One we shared. But even under her, people got a fair shake. Now, thanks to the unsafe environment, I could have had my career ended…but instead, I have to stand here, knowing that thanks to that incompetence, I didn’t win my RECORD SETTING eighth World Title reign. Instead, I was told I wouldn’t be allowed to compete and was eliminated because of THAT!”

The crowd boos. A faint “Shut up!” chant begins as Syren looks around.

Syren: “I’m not going to shut up. Thanks to that structure, I was cost the World Championship! And worst of all, I hear some people are blaming me for it? Like I had something to do with it.”

Knots: “Well yeah. It’s kinda like what you do! Talking about plotting for months!”

Syren just looks around.

Syren: “Would you not think I would remember where I had that done then? No…just a convenient way to avoid dealing with the fact that I should be standing here as champion, but I get screwed!”

The camera turns to the rampway to see Sasha walking down from the back, microphone in her hand. CHBK turns and walks over to the ropes.

Sasha: “Syren…”

Syren turns.

Syren: “Yeah, tell me to my face. Tell me to my face that you’re probably loving this.”

Sasha: “Actually, I’m not. Contrary to your consistent feelings about me, I have no desire to see competitors nearly get severely injured.”

Syren: “Key were nearly. I could’ve been let back in!”

Sasha: “And you know that’s not an option. You were in no condition to perform as a result.”

Syren: “Give me a break!”

Sasha walks up the steels steps and enters the ring.

Sasha: “Well I will. See, I’ll admit, as easy as it would be for me to see this as a failed plot for Infamous, given how much scheming and plotting you all have done for the last two years….”

Syren: “Here it comes.”

CHBK tells Syren to calm herself.

Sasha: “But we’re going to get to the bottom of it. One thing I can tell you for certain is that as best as we can tell, the chains didn’t sheer from wear and tear or anything like that. They were tampered with. The question is whether it is you or someone else. But Syren...if I find out you or anyone in Infamous did this, I will make this clear. You then just had your last World Championship match.”

Syren: “I had nothing to do with it. How the hell would I trust you? This company has never given me my fair shot. I want Alex looking at everything. I want Alexis too. I want to make sure we’re on board.”

Sasha: “Anything we have…you can see. We have nothing to hide.”

Sasha then turns and walks back and exits to the apron. She drops down to the floor. The crowd cheers her a bit as Syren looks at her and then CHBK. CHBK talks to Syren some as Sasha continues to walk to the back.

Sharper: “SCW conducting an investigation into what happened, but Sasha has had enough of the scheming!”

Knots: “Syren claiming she’s innocent. I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Sharper: “And if not?”

Knots: “Oh, she’s being tarred with her past actions. Who’s playbook does that sound like? She did it to Kennedy. That’s poetic justice. Like I care!”

Syren and CHBK keep talking before we cut to the announce table.

Sharper: “Folks, another big announcement. Another turn of events as we get through the fallout of Under Attack.”

Knots: “We aint done though.”

Sharper: “Next…we are going to show you the footage from the Empty Arena match. We warn you, it is graphic. We’ll set that stage and see that match, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the SCW announce position.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and in a few moments. Jon, this all started months ago when Xander Valentine attacked Mr. D.

Knots: “Attacked him at Retribution. He then did it again, right in front of the world. Selena Frost stepped up. Regan Street did too. On one side, you have Xander Valentine who feels he’s owed more and that Regan Street and Selena Frost haven’t filled his void. He’s made it personal, going after family, then the fans a few weeks ago. Selena meanwhile trying to stand up to him. This is a challenge unlike any other she’s face.”

Sharper: “Xander Valentine is still suspended indefinitely. But this match coming because simply put, Sasha wanted to ensure that medical assistance would be available. Professional wrestling is a dangerous sport. But when it’s this personal…she wanted to ensure at least, even if this match won’t official occur.”

Knots: “That’s right! It’s unsanctioned!”

Sharper: “She wanted to ensure they have the medical help when this is going to be violent. Now, we know a few things. We know that in the building, there was a referee. Security was still present mainly to facilitate entry and exit. One cameraman was present to follow the action.”

Knots: “It truly was an empty arena! We also know it didn’t start until 1:30 in the morning!”

Sharper: “More importantly, we found out that Artemis also signed a hold harmless and Xander demanded she be allowed to witness the match.”

Knots: “I already don’t like this.”

Sharper: “Neither do I. All we know is that Sasha and a few decisionmakers have reviewed the footage, as has part of the production staff to make this watchable. This is our final warning. We don’t know what to expect. But when we return from commercial, we’re going to show this uninterrupted, Selena Frost and Xander Valentine will battle in an empty arena match.”

Knots: “Do we know anything about their status?”

Sharper: “No…nothing. We’re finding out what happened with everyone else. And we’ll find out when we return.”

The scene slowly fades to black.

Selena Frost vs. Xander Valentine

Empty Arena Match

The words “After Under Attack, 1:33 a.m.” at the bottom of the screen as we see Selena Frost storming to the back of the building, the cameraman following. A few security guards are with her.

Selena: “Let me through! I’ll get him!”

They try to keep her back before we see Xander Valentine with a few guards, Artemis a few steps behind, then entering into the building and Xander just smirks before he looks around and sees a storage crate and grabs it. He then turns and spins it around and steps forward, launching it toward the guards and Selena. One of the guards is hit by it and Selena quickly hops over and runs at Xander. Xander steps up and Selena nails him with a hard right and then another. Aaron Demitra is on scene.

Demitra: “It’s starting! Screw the bell!”

Selena nails Xander again and again.

Sharper: “Senior official Aaron Demitra here to officiate this.”

Knots: “Already one injury. One security guard down!”

Sharper: “Selena taking the fight to Xander!”

Selena nails him again before Xander shoves her back. She rolls through and Xander turns and grabs a piece of steel piping laying against the wall and grabs it and turns and swings at Selena’s head. Selena ducks and then kicks him in the knee. Xander winces and staggers forward. Selena kicks him again and then turns and walks over to the steel piping piece and lifts it up and slams it down into the back of Xander Valentine. Xander staggers forward, gritting his teeth. Selena continues to move forward and nails him again with the steel. Xander falls forward and to his knee and steps up and staggers forward before Selena walks over and Xander turns and grabs the storage crate and turns and quickly thrusts it toward Selena. It goes into Selena’s legs and Selena flips over it in pain. Xander then smirks as the piece of piping clangs against the concrete.

Sharper: “Xander using that storage crate again! Right to the legs!”

Knots: “And this just keeps going until what?”

Sharper: “A pin or submission. That’s why Aaron Demitra is there. Even referee stoppage. Doesn’t exist. Already both going for the legs. Trying to leave some lasting impact.”

Xander gets up as Artemis watches and Ander grabs Selena by the hair and jerks her up before spinning her around by the hair and throwing her into the wall. Selena hits and falls over and down to the mat. Xander then walks over and grabs her again and lifts her up by the hair again and using his strength, spins her around again and throws her into another wall. Selena falls over and to the concrete. Xander then walks over and pulls her up.

Xander: “We’re just getting started, Ice Princess.”

Xander knees her in the ribs and then steps forward and runs her forward and into a table and Selena slides through and rolls over to the ground. Xander then walks over and grabs the table. Selena starts to get up and Xander pulls it away from the wall. Xander then hoists it up and looks at Selena and spins around and tries to nail her with the legs first. Selena drops to the floor. Xander loses his balance and Selena gets up and hits a dropkick. She winces as she hits the concrete and Xander falls into the wall. Selena then looks around as Xander stirs. Selena holds her back and grabs a coffee dispenser and lifts it up and turns and throws it at Xander. Xander spins away, yelling in pain as Selena looks at him, steam rising from the coffee.

Knots: “Gotta keep everyone awake. Not how Xander wanted it to!”

Sharper: “Artemis just watching as that scalding coffee all over Xander!”

Knots: “We’re seeing a side of Selena we’ve never seen before either!”

Xander turns and Selena has another item, a metal platter and nails Xander in the arm. Xander yells out. Selena then waits as Xander walks around and turns and Selena goes low and right to his knees. Xander falls to a knee. Selena then backs up and looks at him and hits a straight kick to the jaw. Xander falls back and rolls over.

Sharper: “Almost a superkick! Selena showing that it wasn’t a lucky shot! Stiff kick!”

Knots: “If he’s out, pin him and this is over!”

Sharper: “Doing just that. She beats him like this, no fluke!”

Selena turns and goes for the pin. Demitra counts.

Xander pushes her off. Selena looks at Xander and nails him with a hard right and then another. Xander shoves her back and rolls over and crawls away. Selena then turns back and walks over toward him. Xander crawls over to a trash can and Selena walks over only for Xander to turn and slam the trash can into the head and shoulder of Selena. Selena drops. Xander then throws the trash can down. Artemis looks on as Xander then grabs Selena.

Knots: “Oh God! To the head!”

Sharper: “Not like he’ll care for another fine! And to be fair, can’t be on! It’s unsanctioned.”

Knots: “That worries me more now!”

Selena rolls over and turns and Xander grabs her and then hoists her up in a military press. He turns and runs toward the corner of the walls and throws Selena hard into it. Selena hits hard ribs first and rolls over, kicking the ground. Xander smirks and walks over. He then grabs her by the hair again and knees her in the ribs. Selena coughs a bit and then again before running her forward and into the whiteboard that match order would be written on. Selena lands on it and rolls through. She then starts to crawl through the curtain into the tunnel. Xander slowly stalks her.

Sharper: “Xander working over those ribs and Selena’s ribs have always been a target.”

Knots: “They take forever to heal. They were a problem in the past. Xander probably knows that!”

Sharper: “She’s trying to get some distance.”

Xander walks over and goes to the curtain before suddenly, Xander falls back as a chair shot to the head catches him and he falls to the concrete. Selena walks out, holding a steel chair. She lifts it up and slams it into the shoulder of Xander. She lifts it up and slams it again and again into the arm. Xander reaches forward with his left hand and Selena quickly slams the chair into it. Xander yells out and rolls over.

Sharper: “Right to the left hand!”

Knots: “That could be broken! Selena probably is hoping for that. Give Xander a memory!”

Selena then lifts the chair up and slams it into his back again. She throws the chair away. She then turns and walks over to Xander and pulls him up and drags him up as best as she can. Selena then hits a shoot kick to the leg. Xander stumbles over and through the curtain. Selena walks over and grabs him and nails him with a hard right and then another. Selena hits a third shot and winces, shaking her hand.

Knots: “Selena wearing out Xander with these hard rights.”

Sharper: “She’s putting everything behind them!”

The camera goes through the curtain and just then, XAnder turns and swings, nailing Selena in the side of the head with a light stand. Selena falls back and into the cameraman. He falls over. Selena is heard grunting in pain as there’s another crash.

Xander: “Come on…let’s give you a taste of what you’ve wanted oh so much. Let’s pretend you should’ve been in there.”

Some more racket is heard before there’s a jump cut to show Xander spinning Selena around on the stage and throwing her hard into the set, with her leaving her feet and going back first into the set. She lands on the ground beneath and rolls over.

Sharper: “Some edits there. We’re at the main camera. Sorry for the angle, but apparently it seems that the follow-up cameraman is down.”

Knots: “Xander is brutalizing her. You can only taking so many shots into concrete, into walls. Xander is almost just trying to break her down entirely.”

Sharper: “He’s not looking to wrestle. He’s looking to fight. He’s looking to injure. And a human body is not meant to be thrown into steel or concrete!”

Xander then walks over to her and kicks her in the ribs. Selena rolls over. She coughs as Xander grabs her and pulls her up to her feet. He then spins her around and turns and throws her face first into one of the support beams. Selena rolls over and back through the curtain. Xander smirks as he walks through and grabs her. He then drags her out, showing blood coming down her face from above her eye. Xander touches it and looks at his hand before running it along his face. He then knees her in the ribs. Selena falls forward a bit before Xander lifts her up with a military press.

Sharper: “Selena is bloody! And oh no!”

Knots: “Going to throw her onto the concrete!’

Xander then turns and runs forward, but Selena slides down. She then jumps up and hits another dropkick. Xander falls into the barricade that would separate the entrance from the crowd. Selena then runs over and hits a straight kick to his head, sandwiching it into the steel. Xander turns, holding his face and Selena gets up and runs over and forearms him in the head and then again, grinding it into the barricade. Xander manages to roll over, showing a notably cut across his nose and coming out of his nose.

Sharper: “I think Selena just broke Xander’s nose!”

Knots: “There you go! Keep going! Keep breaking things!”

Xander rolls over and starts to get up and Selena nails him in the back and then again. She then looks at him before turning and jumping to the barricade and diving back and hitting a frankensteiner to help her, sending Xander forward and rolling through on the carpeted concrete. Selena then starts to get up and notices that the steel steps for the ring have been moved. She then walks over and grabs Xander and nails him with another hard right and another. She then backs up and winces a bit as she pulls up her pantlength and rips something off.

Sharper: “What is that?”

Knots: “I can’t tell. We’re too far away.”

We then cut to see the other cameraman back into the scene, coming through the entrance way.

Knots: “Get that cameraman a raise!”

Sharper: “That’s the cat’o’nine tails that Regan gave her. She had it taped…”

Knots: “She also covered it in burlap or something. She’s been dealing with that on her foot. That’s how bad she wanted to fight!”

Selena pulls off the burlap and then pulls off some tape she had on the barbed wire cat’o’nine tails and Xander gets up and Selena whips him in the left arm. Xander yells out in pain. Selena then nails him again a whipping shot.

Selena: “You’re the monster? Looks like I’m not afraid! Tell me to stop!”

Selena nails him again. Xander yells out and falls to the ring. Selena runs over and uses the extra momentum to whip him in the back, the barbs of the wire getting struck. She pulls it off and Xander rolls into the ring. Selena then slides in after, but just as she does, we see the Chamber structure starting to lower. Demitra looks around.

Demitra: “Who’s lowering that?”

Selena looks up and then looks around.

Sharper: “The Chamber is lowering! Look!”

Knots: “What? Wait? Where’s Artemis?”

Sharper: “That’s why. That’s why Artemis is here. To help set up whatever sick plan Xander has!”

Selena then turns back to Xander and goes to whip him again, but Xander reaches up with his left hand to block it, grabbing Selena’s arm. Selena kicks him in the ribs and Xander lunges and nails her with a hard right cross. Selena falls to the mat, dropping the cat’o’nine tails to the floor too. Xander then walks around as the Chamber starts to lower. It manages to get around the ring. The cameraman on the floor remains out of it as Xander walks over and grabs Selena. He then knees her in the ribs before hoisting her up and then lifting her up and hitting a huge hip toss onto the steel platform. Selena yells in pain. Xander then steps over the ropes and onto the platform. He knees Selena in the ribs and then runs her face first into the plexiglass. She staggers back and turns and Xander lifts her up and turns and throws her over the ropes and onto the adjacent platform, right by the entrance. Selena rolls through. Xander walks through, shaking out his left hand a bit. He steps out and looks at Selena. He pulls her up and smirks before Selena nails him in the ribs with a hard right and then hits a shoot kick before jumping up and hitting an enziguri kick. Xander staggers and Selena gets up and hits a quickly spin kick to the head. Xander falls into the chains, but the chains, being part of the door, swings open and Xander falls to the floor in a thud.

Knots: “Selena caught him with another kick. Xander’s down!”

Sharper: “She’s getting some good shots. Xander’s relying on his power to just try and toss her around.”

Xander starts to get up and Selena looks at him and then runs forward and jumps up and hits a flip dive onto Xander in entrance way. Selena rolls through and turns and dives onto him, nailing him with shot after shot after shot. Selena gets up and looks around. She then grabs Xander and pulls him up and turns and runs him into the barricade. Selena drives him face first again and then turns and grabs him and manages to send him into the side of the Chamber structure. Selena then walks around and turns and goes back for the Cat’o’Nine tails. She manages to find it and backs up and turns and Xander suddenly hoists her up and turns and throws her into the crowd with a huge press slam. Selena lands in the seats and they collapses falling over.

Sharper: “Selena went to extract more punishment!”

Knots: “Xander just launched her into the non-existent crowd!”

Xander smirks.

Xander: “You can pretend they’re here. Your true believers! They can’t save you.”

Xander steps into the crowd and walks over. Xander turns and grabs her and Selena nails him in the knee with a shot. Xander winces and Selena grabs the arm and jerks on it, but Xander counters with a knee and then doubles her over and hoists her up and powerbombs her on the seats. Selena falls over and Xander looks around before gritting his teeth and going for the pin.

Sharper: “He’s trying to end it?”

Knots: “Kick out!”

1!

2!

Selena kicks out.

Sharper: “I think Xander just realized he may be hurt. He may be in trouble! Selena is doing some serious damage!”

Knots: “He’s shaking that hand. He’s limping. Never mind those kicks to the head.”

Xander gets up and grabs her again and then hoists her up and powerbombs her again onto the chairs.

Xander: “Come on! Die here!”

Xander goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Selena kicks out again. Xander looks up and grabs her and starts to pull her up. Selena however then starts to bite at the fingers of Xander’s left hand. Xander pulls away. He yells out.

Xander: “God damn it!”

Xander turns and goes for a boot. Selena ducks and then turns and grabs one of the chairs and lifts it up and just swings, it still open, nailing Xander in the back. Xander falls over. Selena then turns and nails him in the back again. Xander falls over. Selena throws the chair down. She walks around as Xander slowly gets up. Selena turns back to Xander as we see a gash in the back of his head, courtesy of the roving cameraman. Selena then backs up to the back of the floor section and turns and tags a running start at Xander and jumps up, but Xander lifts her up and throws her into the side of the Chamber. The opening from where Syren went through shakes, clearing becoming visible and Selena falls to the barricade. Xander then frantically grabs her and lifts her up by the hair and head and inserts her head between the chains. He looks around.

Sharper: “Look at the urgency! Xander has something in mind.”

Knots: “Did he underestimate her again? And Selena just nearly took him out. He barely got out of the way.”

Sharper: “What is he thinking though?”

Xander grabs one of the chair and presses it forward and uses it to pin Selena’s head between the chains.

Xander: “Up! UP!”

Sharper: “What?”

Xander keeps pushing the chair as Selena starts to struggle. The chamber starts to rise.

Sharper: “Oh my God! He’s trying to destroy Selena! Either she’ll be effectively hung.”

Knots: “Or the fall. The barricade is there. Oh God!”

Xander keeps pushing. Demitra tries to get him to stop, but Xander looks at him and spits at him before Selena kicks at Xander and catches Xander in the head once and then again. Xander falls back, dazed as Selena holds onto the chains with her hands to try and avoid falling. She then pulls herself up and onto the Chamber chains. The Chamber goes up a bit higher before Selena climbs up a bit and looks back. Xander recovers enough just for Selena to dive back with a huge moonsault onto Xander from the hanging Chamber into what would be the crowd and both fall into the chairs, sending many flying.

Sharper: “Oh my God! From fifteen feet high! Selena said months ago she’d do anything. And she will!”

Knots: “Right onto Xander and in those chairs! They’re mess!”

Sharper: “A bloody mess.”

Aaron Demitra checks Xander and then Selena before Selena rolls over, wincing, holding her ribs. Xander rolls over. Selena then staggers up and looks around before going for the pin.

Xander pushes his shoulder up. He looks up, almost stunned, before grimacing. Selena rolls over and grabs one of the chairs. Xander stirs and Selena folds it up and slams it in his back as he gets up. He staggers forward and to the barricade. Selena nails him again. He rolls over and onto the floor. He gets up and rolls into the ring.

Sharper: “Xander’s almost retreating!”

Knots: “Or setting a trap! The chamber is half hanging!”

Sharper: “Xander moving to the ring. Selena encouraging him with chair shots.”

Selena then climbs over the barricade and rolls in after. She still has the chair and gets up and lifts it up, but Xander kicks her in the ribs. Selena drops the chair and Xander quickly double underhooks her and hits a snap Martial Bane in the middle of the ring. He then promptly goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Selena shoots her shoulder up. Xander looks up. He then snaps and grabs at Demitra and pushes him back. Selena rolls over and we can see her seeing this. Xander pulls himself up and grabs Demitra and pulls him up. Selena lets out a yell and gets up and hit a spin kick to the back of Xander and then a spinning back kick to the jaw. Xander falls to the ropes. Selena then falls to a knee and holds her back before getting up and looking at Xander.

Sharper: “Selena! Driven to help Demitra! Xander was going after another SCW official.”

Knots: “Face of SCW is sick of this! But what does she have left!”

Sharper: “This is a war of attrition! Maybe Defying Gravity. Looking to hit the kick that ended their match at Rise to Greatness!”

Selena turns and jumps to the top rope and dives back, twisting around to hit Xander, but Xander ducks this time. Selena lands and nearly falls into Demitra. She stops and turns around and Xander boots her in the face. Xander then grabs her and pulls her up. Xander then smiles as he double underhooks her up and runs forward and throws her with a Martial Bane into the hanging Chamber, the edge of the platforms. Selena hits and falls hard to the mat, face first.

Sharper: “Oh my God! Oh my God!”

Knots: “Right into the edge of that steel! She may be out!”

Sharper: “Stop this! Stop this!”

Xander then grabs her and drags her up and double underhooks her and hoists her up before dropping her again with the Martial Bane, the third one in the ring. Xander then pushes forward and covers her.

1!

3!

Demitra looks at Selena as Xander rolls off.

Sharper: “Selena Frost went for the knockout blow and nearly fell into Aaron Demitra. She stopped, just for a moment and in desperation or just urgency, Xander Valentine just sent Selena into the steel.”

Knots: “Imagine if this didn’t happen in SCW…”

Sharper: “If it didn’t, would the Chamber be there? But would both get medical attention.”

Xander Valentine then starts to roll out of the ring. He doesn’t even bother having his hand raised. Selena Frost moves her legs a bit as Demitra checks on her and motions for help. Xander limps a bit before falling down himself. He then grits his teeth. A couple of EMTs head to him. Xander shoves one away.

Xander: “Leave me alone!”

Artemis walks over toward him. Xander then falls to his knees and to his side, succumbing himself to the match. Artemis then walks over and checks on him.

Artemis: “Get up!”

Xander tries to, but struggles as we focus on Selena in the ring who is slowly rolling over, holding her head and neck.

Knots: “She’s still moving.”

Knots: “They both are. They both are…”

A bag of ice is against her upper back as the scene slowly fades to black…
