“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 scene opens up with a shot of the sky as the camera pans down to show Marie Jones standing in front of the camera as soft violin music plays in the background.

 

Marie: “Hi. My name is Marie Jones. Tonight, you’re going to watch professional wrestling. Now, after some of the recent events at a fighting sport event this past week, I have taken it upon myself to explain to the casual fan what SCW is. So…”

 

Marie sighs.

 

Marie: “There may be some poor decision-making.”

 

Shots from the past come up on the screen. We see a shot of Marie Jones backstage, before seeing a shot of the Thunderdome with Dylan Howell and Andrew Raynes at Rise to Greatness appear. This is followed with a shot of Dylan attacking Marie Jones before going after Andrew Raynes.

 

Marie: “There are a number of good competitors…They may not always get their due.”

 

We see a shot of Marie Jones hitting someone with a backflip DDT before showing Marie hitting Alistaire Allocco with the Ave Marie before showing a shot of her nailing Josh Hudson with a soht.

 

Marie: “But eventually, some opportunities come to their way…”

 

We see Marie Jones approached by Mr. D last week before showing Marie Jones smiling. The scene cuts to a shot of Marie Jones again.

 

Marie: “But what you won’t see. You won’t see people destroy property wantonly.”

 

We then a plume of smoke and a loud crash heard behind Marie. Marie turns and the camera turns to show a man, in a Marie t-shirt and jeans, and holding a pipe, banging on the side of a tour bus. Smoke comes from the bus as the man cackles, as he continues to thrash the bus with his weapon. He then turns and knocks the mirror off of it.

 

Marie: “Matt! What the hell are you doing? I thought you were going to just help me with this!”

 

Matt: “I’M HELPING! YOU TOTALLY DON’T SEE THIS IN SCW!”

 

Marie turns back to the camera.

 

Marie: “Don’t mind him. Close friend of mine. That’s…uh…normally not the usual.”

 

Marie looks around, trying to figure out how to continue before we hear Matt let out a scream as the camera turns back to see him holding a steel guardrail and trying to throw it at the bus, failing in his endeavour, the clang echoing.

 

Marie: “Really?”

 

Matt looks around before running off. Marie turns to the camera.

 

Marie: “Alright…there’s certainly not favouritism involving performance enhancing drugs…Piledrivers are illegal showing a protection of competitors. And Mr. D may have bad judgment, but he’s not-“

 

???: “Does someone have the keys?!”

 

Marie turns back as we see Kimberly Williams, Marie’s sister trying to pull on the door.

 

Marie: “Kim?!”

 

Kim: “What? Not like anyone we know is inside. Still better than others!”

 

Kim gives a thumbs up to the camera as Marie sighs turning back to the camera.

 

Marie: “Okay, this is not working out. But the point is that at least at its core, despite some of my well-founded criticisms, I’m glad I’m in SCW…usually. You don’t need to worry about such over the top antics like you’ve seen this past weekend. SCW is the finest of the fine wines of professional wrestling. We have a certain level of dignity-“

 

Just then, we see Kimberly Williams walking over to Marie from off camera. Marie turns to her and then steps back. Marie looks down.

 

Marie: “Kim…why are your pants off?!”

 

Kim: “My [bleep] was hot.”

 

Marie: “You don’t-“

 

Kim chuckles.

 

Marie: “You’re not helping!”

 

Kim: “Sorry! I’ll just be…over there….in Toronto…in EMERGE. Stabby stabby and such.”

 

Marie just sighs as she turns back to the camera. Kim walks off.

 

Marie: “At least we don’t go into the crowd and risk injury to fans…”

 

Just then, we shots of Syren and Regan Street fighting in the crowd last fall, before showing Dalton Hughs accidentally hitting a fan at Retribution a couple of years ago, before cutting to show Bianca Evans spitting at fans.

 

Marie: “Ah screw it…Thank God I’m not paying for this.”

 

Off camera we hear Kimberly Williams.

 

Kim: “God bless Blake Mason’s wallet that we borrowed!”

 

Marie just walks off. We then see Matt running in with another steel guardrail before officials stop him and start to pull him back. He drops it and is pulled back. The scene fades to black.

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Giovanni Aries hitting Selena Frost and Ravyn Taylor with the Down the Rabbit Hole and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on an opponent before showing Syren nailing Josh Hudson with a steel chair.
 
"They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams"
 
We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber. We cut to a shot of Konrad Raab doing some shadowboxing in the ring before showing Ikiro Yoshida, Derek Adonis and Manvel in the ring with the KABLAMA Sutra. We follow up with a shot of Gable Winchester walking away from Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson.
 
"I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)"

 

A shot of Christy Matthews posing in the crowd follows. Sam Raine kicking an opponent is shown before showing Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity. We then see Ace Marshall nailing someone with the One Eyed Royal.
 
"I'll try to picture me without you but I can't"

 

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne running and attacking Regan Street in the ring.
 
"Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,
immor immortals
Immortals"
 
We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking down at herself, while posing in the corner before showing Har Megiddo in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and Kennedy Street hitting Syren with the Touch of Class is shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping an opponent with the CATastrophe before showing Bree Lancaster nailing Marie Jones with the Classifier, followed by a shot of Blake Mason hitting the Blake Mason Experience on Thirteen before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen. 

 

The scene then cuts to show the outside of Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta for a few moments before we cut inside and we see the lights turned out as spotlights circle the arena. We then cut to a shot of fans walking through the concourse in the building and then shots of some fans purchasing merchandise at one of the many stands.

 

Spirit: “Fatal Fortunes is in the book and after two shocking nights, SCW returns to normal with Breakdown tonight in Edmonton.”

 

We cut to see a shot of the inside of the arena again as a video plays on the big screen. We then pan back from the shot to show the SCW Studios in Toronto and Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters at the desk.

 

Winters: “Normal?”

 

Spirit: “Well as normal as things can be. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters here in Toronto. We’ll send you out west shortly but plenty to tee up for tonight.”

 

The camera cuts to Spirit.

 

Spirit: “A number of big matches stemming from recent events that we’ll see tonight. One will be a match where Jason Helms will face Abigail Lindsay. And yes, it’s not a joke, or a dream, but Bree Lancaster will be teaming with Jason Helms against Lohan Country, even if Bree may want out of it.”

 

The scene cuts to a wide shot.

 

Winters: “Don’t know how that’s going to go. But it’s going to be interesting because Bree is being ordered to be in the corner of her partner as a show of solidarity and to promote this match. We’ll see what happens there as the Lohans are a well oiled machine.”

 

Spirit: “Along with that, Marie Jones and Alistaire Allocco will clash after their confrontation from a couple of weeks ago. It will be interesting to see how that goes as Marie Jones just found out last week she’ll be getting her Adrenaline Championship opportunity in the Chamber match at Under Attack. Allocco is coming off a win against Andrew Raynes and Konrad Raab.”

 

Winters: “This is one of those matches where Marie Jones may have to show what she can do. She needs some momentum. Alistaire, though, he’s been able to stand up to virtually everyone except the top of the top. So this is going to be interesting.”

 

Spirit: “Along with that, Syren will face Jake Starr. Kennedy Street faces Chris Cannon.”

 

Winters: “The return of Datura. After years, she is in SCW, she will be in here. She’ll be in action. AJ Helms better be watching.”

 

Spirit: “The big matches continue here in SCW tonight. And in the background of all of that will be the World Championship. Sienna Swann is still the champion. AJ Helms is her next contender. What is going to happen there, especially with Datura now back in SCW? All this and much more, but it’s time to cut to Edmonton where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are standing by. We’ll be back at intermission!”

The camera zooms toward the big screen behind Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters and to a live shot of the inside of Rogers Place in Edmonton. The camera pans around the crowd as they cheer.

 

Sharper: “We are live in Edmonton! A week removed from Fatal Fortunes. Eleven days from Under Attack! Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots here at ringside and what a night we have.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Spirit Dansby listed some of the matches. This is going to be another huge night!”

 

The lights in the arena cut completely and silence fills the room for a moment before “Rise Up” by Asking Alexandria blasts over the speaker system and the crash of the first drumbeat triggers a single spotlight on the stage. In the spotlight, we see AJ Helms standing with his back to the fans, the hood of his sleeveless jacket up over his head. In one fluid motion he spins around and stoops for a minute before throwing the hood back and his arms up in the Self High Five. He holds the pose for a second before jumping and breaking the hands apart, single pyros erupting with a ‘Bang’ on either side of the stage, which trigger the house lights to raise again as AJ smirks and starts to make his way to the ring. 
 
Sharper: “There’s your number one contender and tonight could be a big night for that young man.”

 

Knots: “We expect to find out when he’ll challenge Sienna. Datura showing up. AJ is the centre of the universe right now!”

 

Sharper: “Part of the big nights PPF had for Fatal Fortunes. Fate being kind to them.”

 
Reaching the bottom of the ramp, AJ gives a burst of speed and runs to the ring, jumping up and sliding in leg first before popping back up and running to the corner where he scales the turnbuckles and throws his arms into another Self High Five. He pushes back as he breaks the hands apart and turns to land facing the middle of the ring again. He then looks around and goes over to the corner and asks for a microphone. Phillips hands him one and AJ takes it and walks back to the middle of the ring. He looks around as the crowd boos.

 

AJ: “Well isn’t this an interesting sight.”

 

AJ smirks.

 

AJ: “Starting a show and you’ve got AJ Helms. The kid who six months ago, I wasn’t going to be offered a new contract. The kid that people were going to lowball because I wasn’t carrying his weight. Oh yeah, that’s right. The kid who is now the number one contender to the SCW World F’n Title!”

 

The crowd cheers some, before booing.

 

AJ: “See, it just seemed like all I needed is to be around people who gave a damn and who reminded me to just be who I am and that’s not giving a flying crap about any of you out there, about the people in the back, and to just kick ass and take names.”

 

AJ smirks as he looks does a bit of a circle in the ring.

 

AJ: “And now, after going through nine others, I’m going to be facing Sienna Swann for the World Title. My name alone is the reason why SCW could bring in a freelancer, in Datura, no doubt to face me. But Datura has to get through tonight and watching Dustin Adams kick your ass and knock you down several hundred pegs will be a sweet ass thing to watch. Trust me, I’ll be watching with a big bowl of popcorn and when you fall on your face, I’ll still be counting all of my days until you apparently try to kick my ass. There’s just one thing…”

 

AJ pauses.

 

AJ: “I could be the World Champion!”

 

AJ laughs a bit.

 

AJ: “That’s gotta piss the suits over in Toronto. But whatever…and Sienna, I know, I know. I’m in for a hell of a fight. But that’s the beauty. Finally ya got a challenger that can hang with you and we can show what we can do. SCW won’t let Bree at ya. Regan doesn’t want to risk the friendship, but that’s fine…I can’t pass up this chance and I know you understand. You’ve been where I am and that’s why when we meet up for the title, probably at Under Attack, as SCW will want to make sure this thing gets through fast, hoping we just collapse…we won’t. We’ll just prove that we are the best and that the Past, Present, Future are the best!”

 

AJ steps back as he turns and the camera turns to the rampway to see Laura Steinbeck walking down the rampway to the ring. AJ turns to her.

 

Sharper: “Laura Steinbeck, the manager for Sienna Swann, on her way to the ring.”

 

Knots: “Probably to just give a message from Sienna. Don’t want to get these fans too excited. I mean they’ll see Kennie later. Kennie and Sienna in the same night. They have to put people on heart attack watch!”

 

Laura Steinbeck walks over to the steel steps as the crowd boos her. AJ walks over and holds open the ropes as Laura walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. AJ and Laura speak a bit before Laura asks for the microphone. AJ hands it to her. Laura steps back and smiles.

 

Laura: “AJ. I’m glad you’re looking forward to your upcoming contest is Sienna. On that note, I think you need to speak with Sienna and I.”

 

AJ looks a bit confused.

 

Laura: “Nothing bad. I mean, we want to make sure that this is the momentous occasion it should be. I mean, you deserve this opportunity. Unlike say Alistaire or Alexis, who while fine athletes, are not in Sienna’s league. While no one is, you at least share her perspectives enough and that’\s why tonight, we’ve taken the liberty to introduce you to the privilege that is the World Championship. So AJ, I’ve come out here to ask you to join us. We have a few other arrangements to make, but AJ, you’ve made it and you deserve only the best. Consider it a favour one ally to another.”

 

AJ shrugs.

 

Laura: “Thank you. Please follow me.”

 

Laura smiles as she motions to the back. AJ smiles as he steps through. He turns and holds the ropes open. The crowd boos as Laura steps through. She walks down the steps as AJ hops down. The two head to the back as “Style” starts to play. The crowd boos some more.

 

Sharper: “AJ Helms confident. But Laura apparently going to welcome him to the main event with Sienna.”

 

Knots: “An honour to be sure.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah…I’m sure. She’s been critical of every competitor against her and now AJ Helms, who is a fine athlete, is worthy of her. Something is off here. And you wonder about Datura, who is here, what she’s thinking!”

 

AJ and Laura walk to the back. The scene then cuts to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “As AJ goes to speak to Laura Steinbeck and presumably Sienna Swann, Spirit and Shawn mentioned a lot of the matches tonight, but much more we expect to take place her.e”

 

Knots: “One big thing involves Xander Valentine! He’s part of the Network apparently!”

 

Sharper: “We expect to hear from them, but one other issue is that of the Television Championship. Josh Hudson is the champion. He will defend against Scarlet Grey, but Cassidy Carter has the title!”

 

Knots: “The thief took it while Hudson was apparently in the casket, placed in there by Justin Davis after a casket match in Fatal Fortunes!”

 

Sharper: “And we’re hoping to find out what is going on there. Cassidy Carter made clear she was going to walk out holding gold at Fatal Fortunes. She’s holding it. But she’s not the rightful holder!”

 

Knots: “It’s Cassidy. Probably just going to do something stupid with it! With Ace!”

 

Sharper: “We hope to figure that situation out. Another involves Mr. D’s daughters…Sasha made a pretty significant accusation to Katya!”

 

Knots: “If she fiddled with everything, that’s huge.”

 

Sharper: “Either way, neither are here tonight. We’ll try to get some word with Mr. D. But this is going to be a big night in SCW. That and much more to come tonight!”

 

The camera pans back as it shows some of the crowd before the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Marie Jones vs. Alistaire Allocco

 

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentarily pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play, as the song begins to pick up into full swing, a quick line of pyrotechnics goes off, running down across the length of the stage. Through the smoke, out pops Alistaire Allocco, with both arms raised as if in presumptive victory.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

 

He marches down the ramp with his harms still held high. Alistaire doesn’t even give the crowd any attention as he heads straight towards the bottom of the ring steps. There he pauses, dropping both his arms. He rotates his torso a few times, swinging his shoulders, before he runs up the steps and across the ring apron. He steps inside, lifting a finger into the air, pointing to the sky as he stands there in the middle of the ring. His music dies as he continues to stand front and center.

 

Sharper: “This match stemming from Marie Jones and Alistaire Allocco taking issue to the Golden Triangle and the KABLAMaerobics getting air time, albeit for different reasons.”

 

Knots: “Alistaire because he’s a prude. Marie because she’s just been frustrated, but last week, she found out she’s in the Adrenaline Championship chamber at Under Attack. We don’t know who else is in it though.”

 

Sharper: “Just what about that video Marie had produced to start. I wonder if Blake took issue with it. Or SCW.”

 

Knots: “Just having some fun!”

 

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gazes out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena.  Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to some cheering from the fans.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the Phoenix, Marie Jones!”

 

As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story.  Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring.  She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd. She hops down and looks at Allocco.

 

Sharper: “Marie ready to go despite her having fun as you put it.”

 

Knots: “Plus, Kim’s here. And that Matt guy could always try and do something.”

 

Sharper: “I doubt Marie is going to try anything there.”

 

The bell sounds. Marie and Alistaire look at one another and the two circle before Alistaire lunges at Marie. Marie drops down and around and into a reverse waistlock before moving into a side headlock. She pulls back and Alistaire pushes up and then drops down to his knees and hits a fireman’s carry takedown. Marie rolls over and Alistaire grabs her and hits an arm drag takeover. He holds on and Marie grimaces and holds onto her shoulder as Alistaire pulls up and then turns and pulls her into the ropes and goes to fire her in. Marie bounces off and Alistaire goes for a hip toss, but Marie flips through. Alistaire turns and goes for a clothesline. Marie ducks and stops before Alistaire turns and Marie hits a back kick to the ribs. Alistaire stumbles back.

 

Sharper: “Marie getting those strikes in and something Alistaire can’t quite match.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but if it gets to grappling or suplexing, you better believe Marie is going to get air time and not the way she wants!”

 

Alistaire steps forward and Marie turns and hits a dropkick. He hits the mat and Marie goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Alistaire kicks out. Both get up and Marie kicks him in the ribs and hits a forearm shot. She then hits a back elbow to the jaw and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and ducks a clothesline attempt from Alistaire. Marie jumps to the middle rope and dives back, but Alistaire steps back and catches her before hitting a back suplex. He bridges up.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Marie rolls out of it. Marie starts to get up and Alistaire pulls himself back up and wrenches the arm of Marie. Marie moves to the ropes and grabs them. Alistaire immediately lets go. He steps back as Marie turns to him, shaking out her arm.

 

Knots: “Keep on her! You have until five you idiot!”

 

Sharper: “Allocco suffocatingly follows the rules, and with a preachy attitude. Marie knows that arm is hurt, but also knew that and got the immediate break.”

 

Marie then rushes at Alistaire. He goes to grab her, but Marie ducks under and spins through and into a school boy.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Alistaire kicks out. Both get up and Marie turns to Alistaire and forearms him in the jaw and then again. She then runs into the ropes, bounces off and goes for a flying headscissors, but Alistaire Allocco shoves her off. Marie lands on her feet. Marie then steps forward and Alistaire grabs her and hits a belly to belly suplex. He hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Marie gets her shoulder up. Alistaire turns and grabs her and locks in a neck crank. Marie struggles a bit. Alistaire pulls back.

 

Sharper: “Alistaire going for the neck with a neck crank!”

 

Knots: “Well, another link to that fighting event. That’s Khabib Nurmagomedov beat Conor MacGregor!”

 

Alistaire pulls back and Marie pushes up on her feet as well as she can before falling forward a bit. Alistaire holds on and Marie drops down and drives Alistaire face first into the middle turnbuckle. He stumbles back. Marie coughs a bit and rolls toward Allocco as he gets up and Marie nips up, wrapping her legs around Alistaire’s head and snapping him over with a frankensteiner. Allocco roll through. Marie gets up and Allocco turns to her as Marie jumps to the middle rope, turning in the air and hitting a blockbuster. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Blockbuster! Flipping neckbreaker takes Allocco down! Marie’s speed being a difference maker there!”

 

Marie turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Allocco kicks out. Marie looks up. She then grabs him and drags him up and forearms him in the jaw and then again. She then kicks him in the ribs and turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Alistaire steps forward and rolls through, taking Marie down and into a roll-through Boston Crab, before moving into the Glorious Revolution, but Allocco promptly lets go, shaking his head and turning, saying sorry, repeatedly.

 

Sharper: “He had the Glorious Revolution in, but let go!”

 

Knots: “Why the hell for?!”

 

Sharper: “Either way, opening for Marie!”

 

Marie then turns and nails him with a hard forearm. Alistaire staggers back. Marie gets up and kicks him in the ribs. She then grabs him and pulls his head in before he shoves her into the ropes. Alistaire bounces off and Alistaire grabs her and hits the overhead exploder suplex. She rolls over and gets to her knees and Alistaire hits the Sins of the Father. The crowd ohs and Marie hits the mat. Alistaire goes for the pin.

 

Sharper: “My God! What a superkick and Alistaire drilled Marie in the side of the head!”

 

Knots: “He’s got her!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The bell sounds. The crowd boos.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Alistaire Allocco!”

 

Sharper: “She went for the Ave Maria, Allocco countered and caught her.”

 

Knots: “Caught her, threw her, and then the superkick. Marie Jones not getting the momentum she wanted. Not what she wanted at all.”

 

Allocco has his arm raised and turns to Marie and says something to her before standing back and extending his arms in the air. The crowd boos as Allocco looks around.

Backstage, AJ Helms and Laura Steinbeck walk down one of the hallways.

 

Laura: “Just over here. We’ve gotten access to one of the board rooms for this.”

 

AJ: “Look, you know we don’t need to-“

 

Laura: “With Mr. D, we want to make sure this is a special night, not just for you, but for Sienna, so…”

 

Laura walks over one door and then opens it. She steps inside. AJ walks in too. Sienna stands up and smiles.

 

Sienna: “AJ. Great for you to come here.”

 

AJ: “As I was telling Laura, none of this is necessary. I mean there’s nothing to hash out.”

 

Sienna: “You told him?”

 

Laura: “Not exactly, but with D….”

 

Sienna: “Exactly. We need to make sure this is the best for both of us. You’re new to the main event, and well, I’d like to make sure you enjoy this. I was dragged around for four years.”

 

AJ: “That’s true. What will it hurt?”

 

Sienna: “Exactly.”

 

Laura: “We just need Mr. D here.”

 

Sienna: “London and Paris are taking care of that.”

 

Laura: “Then won’t be much longer.”

 

AJ shrugs and sits down as Sienna sits down too and the scene cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and Hana Ito can be seen backstage in a winter jacket with a microphone at the back entrance.

 

Hana: “Welcome back to Breakdown. One of the stories we’re watching tonight involves the SCW Television Championship. Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall are scheduled to be here but have not yet arrived, claiming travel difficulties. Apparently they flew into Calgary instead of Edmonton and were caught in some of the horrible traffic yesterday. We’ll see what this-“

 

Josh Hudson storms into the scene.

 

Josh: “Where the hell are they?! You!”

 

Josh walks over to Hana.

 

Josh: “Ace and Cassidy?”

 

Hana: “Not here yet. Travel difficulties.”

 

Josh: “Travel difficulties. Really? Well they better hurry because I’m not in the mood to be dealing with this crap. Let alone that I’m still waiting for a new title so I don’t have to deal with whatever they did with that one.”

 

Hana: “We’re still trying to get a hold of them. Get an update. As for the title, you need to talk to Mr. D.”

 

Josh: “Don’t worry…I plan to.”

 

Josh turns and storms off as Hana watches him leave and Breakdown cuts to the ring.

Total Terror vs. Casterillo

Television Championship Eliminator

 

Phillips: “The following contest is a Television Championship Eliminator match.”

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.

Phillips: “Introducing first, standing in the ring to my right, weighing in at 285 pounds…. CASTERILLO!”

Sharper: “Casterillo had a chance during Fatal Fortunes to bring home the US Title, but he fell short. Tonight, if he plays his cards right, he will be able to challenge for the Television Championship.”

Knots: “If there’s a TV title to be defended. Hudson doesn’t even have it in his possession. It’s been stolen.”
 
Sharper: “A situation that has to be rectified. As we just heard, people are still trying to get a hold of the Ace and Cassidy.”
 
Darkness. The Melodic voice of Ozzy Osbourne overtakes the crowd. Red and white pyrotechnics explode in the front of the ramp. A pot light at the top of the ramp bursts whiteness across the stage, illuminating Terror standing in the doorway. His head is lowered. More pyro explodes around him and he bursts to life, running down the ramp.  As he reaches the ring, he slides under the bottom rope without stopping his run, and then jumps to a standing position, his head down, in the middle of the ring. It goes dark briefly, pyro explodes from the turnbuckle posts, and Terror raises one arm in the air with a closed fist. The lights come up, and he gently passes his jacket and sunglasses to the ring attendant.

Phillips: “And his opponent, weighing in at 285 pounds, TOTAL TERROR!”

Knots: “Both these men are big… really big. Wouldn’t want to anger either one to be honest.”

Sharper: “Both hold about the same mass, but Casterillo has six, seven inches on Total Terror. That has the advantage of arm reach but Total Terror have a stronger base. Let’s see how that plays out. Both men are very aware of the opportunity that is on the line.”

The bell rings. Casterillo lunges forward towards Total Terror. They tie up in the center of the ring. Both men try to push the other backwards. This goes one several moments before Casterillo pushes off. Total Terror mouths something to Casterillo swings a heavy fist towards Terror’s face. Terror ducks underneath. Toe kick, toe kick, and a third toe kick is driven into the midsection of Casterillo. Casterillo reaches down to attempt to catch the next kick but Terror drills him across the face with an elbow. Casterillo’s jaw launches upwards and he stumbles backwards. Total Terror wheels back into the ropes, bounces off for a clothesline but Casterillo recovered in time to side step, swing Terror around into the corner. Terror flies into the turnbuckle, his chest hits the top, and he stumbles backwards. Casterillo doesn’t let him breeze, rams his body into the back of Total Terror and drives some well-placed fists into the lower back/kidneys.

Sharper: “This match has been a brawl, but neither men have left their feet.”

Knots: “They’re going old school here. They’re trying to wear the other person’s body. And I don’t think that is a bad idea.”

Sharper: “Do you hear that? Despite taking punches from behind, Total Terror is taunting Casterillo!”

Total Terror swings back a mule kick to the knee of Casterillo. The momentary distraction is enough to allow Terror to turn and drill an elbow towards the face, but the strike lands on the throat. Casterillo backs up, holding his neck as if the blow might have choked him. Total Terror does a choking motion, almost mocking Casterillo. Casterillo is enraged, rushes forward but Total Terror goes for a double leg takedown. Casterillo lowers himself to combat the attempt and clubs Total Terror on the top of the head, trying to beat him. Casterillo pulls Terror into a front facelock with one arm and continues to drop blows to the back of his opponent. Terror pushes against Casterillo, slowly pushing the man against the corner. From there. Terror begins to lay in with some punches of his around in the midsection, managing to weaken Casterillo’s grip on him.

Knots: “Both men remaining on their feet. Both men choosing to strike.”

Sharper: “This is more Casterillo’s game than Total Terror. We know Total Terror can bet technical if he wants to. He did try to get a takedown, maybe switch to some mat wrestling, but Casterillo’s too strong.”

Knots: “Maybe some fists will weaken that strength. But it’s foolish to get into a war of attrition for both men!”

To avoid the strikes, Casterillo reaches the facelock and steps forward for a bearhug, trapping Terror’s arms. Casterillo lifts and tries to toss Terror down onto the canvas, releasing the bearhug. Total Terror manages to land on his feet and stumbles, but as he turns to face Casterillo, he gets rocked with a running big boot. Terror holds his head as he tries to recover from the kick.

Sharper: “The power of that man. Total Terror just had his head taken off.”

Knots: “First man knocked down. It’s been a big struggle for both to take the other down.”

Total Terror scrambles to his feet, almost losing his footing. Casterillo tries to swarm onto him as Terror falls back into the corner. Casterillo with an extended clothesline overextended himself and Terror manages to ducks underneath. Casterillo turned, his head grabbed, and a sitout jawbreaker onto Casterillo courtesy of Total Terror. Casterillo staggers from the attack but still stays on his feet, as he wanders into the center of the ring. Gunning from the ropes, Total Terror bounces back from behind and brings Casterillo down with a bulldog. He calls Casterillo to get up, he shouts to him, waving. Casterillo does, pushing his hands down onto the canvas and raises. Off the ropes again, Total Terror flies, this time to connect with an elbow. Casterillo loses his feet and stumbles back into the ropes. Toe kick to the gut, followed a by a DDT. Total Terror pushes Casterillo over and hooks the leg:

1…


2…

Casterillo gets the shoulder up.

Knots: “Several minutes into this match and we’re finally seeing our first pin attempt.”

Sharper: “One of the few moments of this match where a wrestler is on his back.”

Total Terror stands again. He places several kicks down at the knee of Casterillo, but gives space for the man to rise. Casterillo rolls over and pulls himself up using the ropes. Total Terror steps in and tries to grab Casterillo but Casterillo swings back with an elbow. He follows up with a forearm, clubbing Terror several ties across the top of the head. Terror returns fire with a few toe kicks and forearms of his own. Terror catches one of Casterillo’s attacks, whips him into the rope. He turns and prepares but he’s caught off guard by a spear from Casterillo. Casterillo comes down and begins to rain down punches onto Total Terror but the referee comes in and breaks up the closed fists.

Sharper: “Casterillo caused some severe damage on Total Terror. That spear looked to knock the soul right out of Total Terror.”

Knots: “And he added some fists for good measure.”

Sharper: “Total Terror might be reeling now.”

Casterillo grabs Total Terror by the back of the neck and steers him to his feet. He hoists Total Terror onto his shoulder, but Total Terror slips off to the side and looks to be going for another DDT, but Casterillo steps forward, wrenching the arm and stepping right into the Holy Water! Casterillo covers:
 
1…


2…


3!

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


Knots: “Total Terror almost slipped out and reversed the momentum, but Casterillo countered with the Holy Water and that’s all that was needed to earn Casterillo a shot at the TV Title next week.”

Sharper: “Whether it’s Scarlet or Hudson, question is going to be if the title belt’s actually going to be present.”

 

Casterillo gets up and looks around. He pulls away from the official, calmly going to the ropes and stepping through, down to the floor. He then starts to head to the back.

Backstage Mr. D is shaking his head as London and Paris walk behind him down the hallway.

 

London: “I hope you realize that you’re going to have to do right by them.”

 

Paris: “Completely. You may want to play games with us when we should be the World Tag Team Champions…or at least getting a shot.”

 

London: “Exactly. Perhaps we should ask Sienna and AJ to make that a point.”

 

Mr. D stops and turns to them.

 

Mr. D: “First off, that can’t happen. They’re both under contract and the match is already essentially made. I don’t understand the why I’m wasting my time with this.”

 

Paris: “Because you’ve forced this situation.”

 

London: “It’s your own fault.”

 

Mr. D: “Great.”

 

Mr. D responds sarcastically.

 

Mr. D: “And as for the World Tag Team Titles…Bree and Jason have the next shot. But after, it’s wide open. And you will have an opportunity to become the next number one contenders to the titles.”

 

Paris smiles as does London.

 

Paris: “Good.”

 

London: “Yes, good indeed.”

 

Mr. D: “Now where am I going?”

 

London: “Just over there.”

 

Paris: “Follow me.”

 

Paris and London then walk over to the door. Paris opens the door and Mr. D walks over. Sienna just looks at him as Laura stands up.

 

Laura: “Mr. D….please, come in…have a seat.”

 

AJ just waves as Mr. D looks around as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns in the board room the Beauty Factory had set up in. Sienna Swann sits in the middle with Laura seated next to her and London and Paris Truelove seated on the other side of Laura. AJ Helms is at the end of the table with Mr. D seated across from Sienna.

 

Mr. D: “So care to tell me what this is all about? It’s already official that AJ Helms will be challenging you, Sienna, for the World Championship. So that’s set.”

 

Sienna: “Oh that’s easy. It’s the date. The fact of the matter is that I have somewhere more important to be on the night of Under Attack.”

 

Mr. D: “Excuse me?”

 

Sienna: “Laura?”

 

The crowd watching in the arena boos. Laura smiles.

 

Laura: “See, as you know, Sienna is a very sought after in the fashion world and the novelty of having a wrestling champion, complete with the World Championship, which I might add is well designed. Good to know someone in SCW has some style. But anyway, it has opened up with opportunities. And well, Sienna has an opportunity that would be foolish for her to turn down and for SCW to let some formality like showing up in a minor market like Salt Lake City. Perhaps that’s why you booked her against Alistaire. While big for him, for Sienna…well, you’re lucky she’s even here in Edmonton.”

 

Mr. D: “Get to the point.”

 

Laura: “She has a major magazine photoshoot and the only day they had available was October 21st, the night of Under Attack.”

 

Mr. D: “Well, I may as well ask this question even though I’m sure you have an answer – if I simply point out you have a contract with SCW first and you are expected to be at the show-“

 

Laura: “That’s easy. Both Sienna and AJ will simply not be there.”

 

AJ leans forward a moment. Mr. D doesn’t notice this.

 

Laura: “You don’t have your main event. You’re forced to refund tickets to make good to the fans who would rightfully be heartbroken that they could not see a once in a lifetime talent like Sienna. Or, better yet, you try to have some other title match, knowing though that it would not be legitimate after how dominant both Sienna and AJ were in Fatal Fortunes.”

 

Mr. D: “Naturally…”

 

Mr. D leans back, smirking a bit.

 

Laura: “Or you can do the intelligent thing. You hold off the match. In fact, we have a number of locations that we feel would be suitable for the highly anticipated AJ Helms vs. Sienna Swann match. Sienna does her photo shoot and we’ll even include a portion of her earnings as a make good for SCW. Plus, tonight, a Datura will be making her debut?”

 

Mr. D: “Return.”

 

Laura: “Minor detail that’s irrelevant. She’s coming back for AJ. Given her social media presence, it’s reasonable to assume she would go after Sienna as a means to go after AJ.”

 

Sienna: “Especially given how close we are.”

 

Laura: “So we would prefer also that be taken care of-“

 

Mr. D: “Well-“

 

AJ: “You’re just bent over a barrel here.”

 

Mr. D nods as he leans forward.

 

Sienna: “Need to ask your daughters for ideas?”

 

Mr. D chuckles a bit. He then gets up.

 

Mr. D: “You make some good points, some better than others. In particular, the point about Datura as she’s already told me she didn’t want to wait long. So at Under Attack, AJ, you’ll face Datura.”

 

AJ claps his hands and leans back.

 

Mr. D: “And on November 7th, when SCW comes from Sydney, Australia, whatever’s left of you AJ, you’ll face Sienna Swann.”

 

Laura: “Great that you can listen to reason.”

 

Mr. D: “Send the paperwork on the shoot. There better be a shoot….”

 

Mr. D stands up and goes to turn to leave, but turns back.

 

Mr. D: “Oh, and I’ll make sure that someone in the front office sends you the events calendar. This type of meeting will not happen again. You choose your modelling career over your wrestling career and forego your commitments to SCW, I will make the decision easy and you won’t be back in an SCW ring. My job is to put out the best product for the SCW fans. One question – the Trueloves?”

 

Laura: “They’ll be at Under Attack.”

 

Mr. D: “Good. And AJ…you think long and hard if this is the path you want to take.”

 

Mr. D then turns and leaves the room. Sienna just smiles. AJ turns to them, chuckling and shaking his head.

 

AJ: “So is there a photo shoot?”

 

Sienna: “Oh definitely. In beautiful St. Bart’s. Shame London and Paris can’t be there. And I hope you learned a few things. When you’re a star…promoters always need to respect you.”

 

Laura: “Now you just make sure Datura’s not an issue.”

 

AJ: “Don’t you worry there.”

 

Sienna smiles as she gets up as Laura grabs a folder in front of her. AJ just nods as we cut away.

"Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

 

A modern day warrior

Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. As he stands atop the ramp, he throws his arm out with each big note of the beginning musical portion. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

 

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl on his way to the ring and Damian Angel and him have continued to have some issues since right after Rise to Greatness.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but we’re not any closer to that getting figured out and Kennedy being mentioned. I don’t like it.”

 

Kayl walks down to the ring and walks up the steel steps. He steps up onto the middle turnbuckle and looks around before dropping down and stepping into the ring. He then walks forward as he looks around before going over to far corner and asking for a microphone. Phillips hands him one and Donovan Kayl walks back over to the middle of the ring. He then looks out at the crowd as a “Kayl!” chant echoes throughout the arena.

 

Kayl: “It feels great to be back in my home country. In the City of Champions!”

 

The crowd cheers loudly. Kayl looks around. He smiles.

 

Kayl: “And well, I get to make this a fun night for you. Damian…I want you to come to this ring right now!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh boy!”

 

Knots: “He’s not wasting time tonight!”

 

Kayl looks at the entrance way. A few moments pass before “Lucifer’s Angel” starts to play. The crowd roars as a few more moments pass before Damian Angel and Har Megiddo walk out from the back. Damian has a microphone in his hand as he looks down at the ring. Malphas, Behemoth and Kali start to move forward and Damian steps forward and strikes Malphas with his cane. Malphas gets Behemoth and Kali and they stop.

 

Damian: “No…no need to destroy him tonight. Tonight is not the night for it.”

 

Kayl: “Not even the respect to come into the ring.”

 

Damian: “That’s because the next time that I am in that ring with you, you will end that night unconscious.”

 

Kayl: “Well then let’s cut to the chase. I will allow you to pick my drop dead date. Because you have this desire that you want to take out the Cornerstone to start your rise, your destruction. Well that’s the night that I remind you that you will not be getting anything done on my watch and your destruction will simply not happen!”

 

Damian smirks.

 

Damian: “How kind, but it did not need the condescending speech. Especially since such speeches will only make you look the fool at the end.”

 

Kayl: “Name your date, Damian!”

 

Damian smirks.

 

Damian: “Well that should be obvious. It’s a name that even encapsulate all I intend to do…Under Attack, Donovan. You and I can meet and this time, be on time.”

 

Donovan: “Damian. Don’t worry. I’ll be there. Just be ready for the war you know will be coming.”

 

Damian smirks.

 

Damian: “I look forward to it. And until then, just remember I and Har Megiddo have done to you multiple times over. To all of you here. Under Attack will be the last night you’ll see Donovan Kayl. Pay your respects!”

 

Damian then steps back as “Lucifer’s Angel” plays. The crowd boos as Donovan Kayl keeps his eyes on him as Damian watches him for a moment before heading to the back.

 

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl and Damian Angel will meet. One on one. This time Kayl will be there. Damian is ready. They’ll clash at Under Attack!”

 

Knots: “I hope Kayl knows what he’s doing. I have a bad feeling about this!”

 

Kayl just continues to watch the stage as Damian and Har Megiddo disappear through the curtain.

Backstage, Dante McCaffery walks toward Jack Parker, Ms. Budde, Max Kane, and finally, the camera pans to show Xander Valentine looking around at the group before turning to Dante.

 

Xander: “So are we just in charge of standing around?“

 

Kane smirks.

 

Kane: “Dante may want that. We make sure that doesn’t happen.”

 

Dante just glares at Kane as does Budde.

 

Dante: “Xander, no, we’re going to go to the ring and clarify a few things. You took care of what I said you needed to.”

 

Xander: “If this is what I have to do to make sure I can make a living….”

 

Xander sighs a bit.

 

Xander: “Then yes.”

 

Dante: “Good. And I have a bit of a surprise to show you that here…you’ll be respected.”

 

Dante turns to Budde and Kane.

 

Dante: “Let’s go.”

 

Xander watches Dante as the group then starts to head off. Dante wraps his arm around Xander as he starts to walk with him. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Well next…the Network, with what appears to be their newest member…they’re going to join us next.”

 

The scene fades to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up backstage outside of the office of Mr. D to see Jessica Winters standing with the owner.

 

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and I’m with the owner of this company and Mr. D, there are a number of questions we need to ask. But first, it seemed like Sienna Swann and Laura Steinbeck pulled a powerplay. You cannot be happy about it.”

 

Mr. D: “I’m not, but while they have their scheduling issues, the bigger issue to me was regarding Datura. The fact of the matter is that I had signed Datura weeks ago, before Fatal Fortunes. Before even the names were drawn. AJ Helms winning a World Championship shot, that was well…not something I would’ve figured. Good on him. I had originally hoped to sign Datura vs. AJ Helms for this event, given the buzz that match has gotten. So that match will be happening at Under Attack and I look forward to it.”

 

Jessica: “What about the World Tag Team Championship? You mentioned that you had something in mind that involved the Truelove Twins and you double checked that they would be present. Odd that they’re not involved in this photoshoot given how much they’ve mentioned that, but regardless, what did you have in mind?”

 

Mr. D: “Well Jessica, that’s the fun part. Given the number of teams that were closely watching the World Tag Team Championship match at Apocalypse and given that Fatal Fortunes elected to throw a curveball, I’m left with a number of teams all of whom deserve an opportunity to earn a shot at the titles with no one team standing above the rest. And so at Under Attack, for the first time ever, we’re going to see SCW Tag Teams present. Six teams will enter the Chamber and the winning team will earn a World Tag Team Championship shot. Oh…and the Trueloves since they keep talking about how great they are, they can have a chance to shut everyone up…they can start the match off.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Knots: “Hey wait!”

 

Jessica: “Does that have to do with the negotiations?”

 

Mr. D: “Not necessarily. They can put up or shut up. Just like AJ technically did in Fatal Fortunes.”

 

Jessica: “One final question. We noticed your daughters had a bit of a tense moment and it was suggested that the Fatal Fortunes drawings may have been tampered with-“

 

Mr. D: “I’ll stop you there. I was there for the drawings. As were Sasha, Katya and another executive. The drawings were the same as they came out. The only thing I can think of is that Sasha misremembered. A lot on all of our minds in an undertaking like that. Now if you excuse me?”

 

Mr. D turns and heads into his office as we cut away.

Back in the arena, the opening strums to “Fade to Black” start to play. The crowd roars before a mixed reaction comes from the crowd. A few moments pass before we see Xander Valentine steps out from the back, leading to cheers from the crowd. He looks around before glancing behind him. Dante McCaffery walks out from the back, applauding and turns to him. He walks over to him and says something to him as the crowd starts to boo. Max Kane, to some cheers, Ms. Budde and Jack Parker step out too. Max Kane starts to play to the crowd as Dante starts to lead the Network to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Clearly a nice little feel good for Xander. Dante McCaffery having them play his old theme.”

 

Knots: “After the last few weeks where our generic guitarist Johan Stringfellow’s crappy, two steps above midi music, probably sounds good.”

 

Sharper: “Dante had him do something, but last week, a deal struck, when Dante and Xander failed to win the World Tag Team Championships. He made Xander realize the only way he could make a living right now and stay in SCW would be to work with the Network!”

 

Dante heads down to the ring. Xander saunters a few steps behind the group as Ms. Budde and Jack Parker reach the ring. Max Kane hops onto the apron and into the ring. He then walks across, his arms outstretched as the crowd cheers him. Dante steps up the steel steps and into the ring. The crowd boos at him as Budde and Parker enter the ring. Xander then grabs the ropes and steps up onto the apron and into the ring. Everyone walk around the ring as Dante walks across and asks for a microphone. He’s handed one by Jason Phillips and Dante steps back to the middle of the ring. He looks around. He just smiles as he turns to Xander.

 

Dante: “Well…how does that sound, Xander?”

 

Xander looks down for a moment.

 

Dante: “For one night, that’s the Network theme. A sign of your return to the fold and not the disrespect you suffered. And see, tonight, as it also means that, it is a fresh start, because you are not beholden to the old rules. Xander, I asked you to do something last week after our handshake and after we spoke last week. You said you did what I told you to do. And that’s get a manager’s license. SCW, at least until last week, gave manager’s free reign. But Xander is not Alexander Crowe. He’s not someone who has ran from competition, looking for an edge. All he is now…is a man without a promotion and a man willing to take on any fight….for a price. Even showed it by coming at his own expense to get his job back. And now he has one that pays much better and a unit he can be a part of that stands unparalleled!”

 

Dante smiles as he turns to Xander.

 

Dante: “And you’re in luck Xander. The moment you shook my hand, I started to see if anyone would be willing to pay for your services. To ensure that things turned out the way they wanted.”

 

Dante looks at Xander.

 

Dante: “Are you interested?”

 

Xander looks around before turning to Dante and grabbing the microphone, lifting it to his mouth while Dante still holds onto it.

 

Xander: “What’s the pay?”

 

Dante: “I’ll tell you that after. But I’ll simply say that it’s worth it. And to SCW, before you get concerned about SCW’s Former Executioner being turned loose, I’ll add that he’s always up to compete in this ring. One thing you made clear to me and something I’ll respect. Unlike SCW.”

 

Dante smirks as he turns and Xander then grabs the microphone and moves it to his mouth again.

 

Xander: “What do I need to do?”

 

Dante smiles and brings the microphone back down.

 

Dante: “That part is easy. And something that is a long time coming.”

 

As soon as Dante says that, he turns and nails Max Kane in the side of the jaw with the microphone. Kane goes down and Budde and Parker turn and move in and start to stomp away on him as the crowd starts to boo.

 

Sharper: “The microphone to the jaw. Dante, Budde, Parker! They’re assaulting Max Kane!”

 

Knots: “Xander! I think I can tell you that the money is definitely good! Dante listening to Laura Steinbeck’s call to get rid of Max Kane!”

 

Budde and Parker get a couple of more shots in as Dante walks around and turns to Xander.

 

Dante: “Finish it!”

 

Dante brings the microphone down as Budde steps off and Parker gets another stomp in before Budde pulls him back and Xander turns to him. He then steps over and grabs him by the head and drags him up to his feet before kneeing him in the ribs and then again before turning him around and locking in the Fade to Black. The crowd roars and boos as Kane swings, trying to nail Xander, fighting as much as he can. Dante turns and nails him in the ribs for a good shot as Kane falls down a bit as Xander pulls back again. He then continues to pulls back on Kane.

 

Sharper: “Xander with the Fade to Black! He’s choking out Max Kane!”

 

Knots: “Kane can fight all he wants. There’s a reason it’s called the Fade to Black!”

 

Kane continues to fade before Xander holds him for a moment longer and then throws him down. He steps over him. Dante then stops him. He shakes his head before pointing to the announce table on the floor. Xander then turns to him. He says something. Dante then turns to Parker and Budde. Xander then turns and walks over to the ropes and steps through them. He steps over to the corner and starts to climb up, sitting on the top turnbuckle. Parker and Budde drag Kane’s body out to the apron and Budde rolls to the floor, allowing her to better drag him. He gets to the apron and Xander reaches down as Parker pulls him up and Xander locks in a double underhook. Sharper and Knots get up and Xander then hoists Kane up. The crowd roars.

 

Knots: “Look out!”

 

Sharper: “Martial Bane! No!”

 

Xander then jumps off and throws Kane over. Kane hits the announce table and it collapses under him, one of the monitors popping out as Kane rolls to his side. Xander staggers over to the timekeepers’ table, remaining on his feet. Dante just applauds Xander as Budde looks at Kane who is down. Sharper and Knots just look at Xander as Xander then turns away from them before seeing Dante. “Fade to Black” plays again as Xander looks up to the stage, hearing his music. He takes a deep breath. The camera cuts back to Kane.

 

Knots: “Well that’s a hell of a message!”

 

Sharper: “Xander Valentine…doing anything to stay involved in SCW…he’s now a part of the Network and he’s not just joining. He’s replacing Max Kane!”

 

Knots: “Sounds like an upgrade to me!”

 

Kane remains down as Sharper starts to check on Kane. Dante exits the ring. Budde and Parker walk around on one side. Xander joins them all at the entrance way as officials head down from the back, heading to check on Kane as the scene cuts away.

Angelica Jones and James Evans are backstage.

 

James: “So looks like there’s a Chamber match to crown the next Tag Team Championship number one contenders.”

 

Angelica: “After Fatal Fortunes, we didn’t have a tag match, but showed what we can do.”

 

James: “It would be great to be in it. To really test ourselves.”

 

Angelica: “Something Kayla and I haven’t done. Something that could just us.”

 

James: “Exactly-“

 

???: “So you heard too?”

 

The camera pans out to show Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner with Woody Hoyt.

 

Sam: “I hope you don’t think you’ll be the only one trying to get a spot.”

 

Angelica: “Six spots. We know Trueloves are in it.”

 

Woody: “So you two, Sam and Crissy. I hope you’re ready. Just because you may have the pedigree.”

 

Crissy: “We have the hunger-“

 

Sam: “Add that I wouldn’t mind teaching some respect or humility to anything affiliated with PPF.”

 

James: “Then let’s hope you’re in there. And we all can show what we could do.”

 

Crissy: “Sounds good to me.”

 

The two teams just look at one another as the scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns, opening backstage to see Josh Hudson with Mr. D. Josh just scoffs.

 

Josh: “Look the fact that they still have jobs-“

 

Mr. D: “We need them to arrive so we can get the title belt. I never said nothing will happen to them.”

 

Josh: “Whatever. I don’t want their title belt. I made it clear to you and everyone else. I want a new belt. I don’t trust that they’ve not done something horrible to it.”

 

Mr. D: “Josh…you’ve been in the business for a long time. You know how long it takes to make proper wrestling title belts. Not the replicas we sell. The real things.”

 

Josh: “Throw some money at it.”

 

Mr. D: “Yes, and we still need to have the person make it. I get that you hang out with PPF and the Beauty Factory and so sometimes you feel like everything is at your fingertips, but this time, there’s not much I can do except wait until Cassidy and Ace arrive. And when they do, they have a choice. To give me the title or else.”

 

Josh: “You know damn well that’s not good enough.”

 

Josh turns and walks off as Mr. D sighs and shakes his head.

Bianca Evans vs. Gigi Steward

 

“Supreme” plays throughout the arena as the stage and video screen goes dark. Gigi’s video plays on the screen and she steps out on to the stage wearing a black leather with tiny metal spikes on it and also a bandana covering her face. She walks up to the center of the stage and stretches her arms out embracing the fans support for her. She begins is march to the walk to the ring walking with a purpose. She gets to ringside and rushes into the ring rolling inside. She marches to the corner and hops on the middle ropes and throws out her own hand sign to the fans. She then rips off the bandana and tosses it into the crowd. Gigi hops off the ropes and takes off her jacket setting it aside for ring crew to pick up and she gets ready for her match.

Sharper: “Our next contest will be between Gigi Steward and the returning Bianca Evans.”

Knots: “Bianca has made it clear she wants to destroy Katie Steward.”

Sharper: “She has even said that she will make an example out of Gigi.”

Knots: “But you have to wonder if Katie will pay attention. She could be out doing Goddess...things…”

Torture by Picture me broken plays through to a fog of boo’s. Bianca Evans steps out through a cloud of smoke followed by her mother Ophelia Von Aaron. Ophelia is wearing a dark violet evening gown looking like she is attending the oscars. Bianca is wearing a black fur with silver highlights halter coat. Along with a pair of black sunglasses. Along with her black leather ring gear. Upon getting to the ring Bianca gets right in gigi’s face.

The two exchange words as the referee gets between the two.

Phillips: And her opponent From-

Before Phillips can even finish Bianca Nails Gigi with a “B-Trigger” . Gigi is caught off guard by this sneak attack and seems to be seeing stars. As Bianca scoops her up into a Burning hammer position and nails her with a Codebreaker. Bianca smiles and places her pinky on Gigi and the crowd boos loudly at this as the referee hesitantly does the count before Bianca screams at him to count…

Knots: “Well Gigi rebounded with her small package.”

Sharper: “May want to rethink that one, partner.”

Bianca Looks shocked as she kicks out. Bianca Goes for a clothes Line and Gigi ducks and then another B-Trigger this time Gigi somersaults out of the way and takes Bianca down to the mat with a backslide.

She follows it with a frog splash but is countered on the landing with a triangle hold which Bianca transitions into a stretch hold in which she begins to batter Gigi’s face with a barrage of elbows.

Knots: “Bianca’s mother down and Bianca doesn’t seem to care.”

 

Sharper: “Should make clear how heartless she may be!”

Knots: “Well someone should check on her!”


The crowd begins to cheer at something off camera as we see Katie Steward is watching the match from the entrance way. Bianca spots the Goddess and smiles letting go of the hold she motions for Katie to come to ringside to get in the ring but Katie just stands there watching cool and collected as Gigi rolls up Bianca…

Sharper: “Gigi managing to mount some offense and getting a couple of nearfalls, despite the onslaught Bianca has been on since before the opening bell.”

Ophelia slowly pulls herself up spotting what's going on. She suddenly drops down to the mat, screaming holding her ankle, stealing the official’s attention. Gigi nails Bianca with the Running Knee to the face. She makes the cover but the referee is distracted.

Sharper: “Turn around ref!”

Knots: “I knew we should have checked on mom, but nobody listens to me.”

Gigi than pulls Bianca up and hits her with the IDU… She makes the cover and the audience counts but there is no ref as he is still distracted. Gigi goes over to get the official's attention. Gigi is trying to get the official to focus on the match.

Sharper: “Gigi should be the winner of this match.”

Knots: “The ref is doing his job and making sure everything is alright and copasetic on the outside.

During this distraction we see Bianca has Gigi’s platinum knuckles as she pulls them from her tights. Gigi turns around and Bianca nails her with a fist to the forehead with the Platinum knuckles and then a spinning back fist before returning the knuckles into her tights. Bianca than blows Katie a Kiss to only a cold glare from the goddess in response. She than points to Gigi’s head with her finger and pulls the trigger.

We then see a replay from earlier in the match the camera zooms in and see see Bianca pulling the knuckles from Gigi’s boot and stashing it in her own ring gear.

Sharper: “Bianca Evans with a cheap victory here tonight, cheating to get a win for herself, disrespecting the Steward family.”

Knots: “Hey, if the ref didn’t see it then as the saying goes...it didn’t happen.”

We go back to ringside and miraculously Ophelia has recovered and is celebrating her daughter’s victory. Bianca holds up the platinum knuckles to the camera and says.

Bianca: These are mine now and it's just the first thing I will take from your family.

Bianca says kissing the knuckles and pointing to Katie.

“Immortals” plays in the background as we see a shot of Slayter McKinney doing stretches. This is followed by a shot of Owen Cruze getting ready for his match.

 

Sharper: “Plenty more to come tonight. There you see Slayter McKinney and Owen Cruze. Both getting ready for their clash tonight. Two people that many have tapped to be the future of SCW.”

 

Knots: “Big shoes. Hope they don’t trip on them.”

 

Sharper: “But next…”

 

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still of Kennedy Street follows before a still of Chris Cannon comes up and then both.

 

Knots: “Kennie is up!”

 

Sharper: “Chris Cannon faces Kennedy Street in what should be a hell of a match. That’s next, here on Breakdown!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Backstage, Regan Street and Mikaela Street are found with Sienna Swann, who is without Laura.

 

Sienna: “He’s going to be fine. He’s ready for this all.”

 

Regan: “Oh I don’t doubt that. But Sienna…while part of me enjoys watching D squirm. I don’t feel like having AJ deal with all of that.”

 

Sienna: “Oh he’ll be fine.”

 

Regan: “What did you tell him before? You said he agreed. He didn’t look like it.”

 

Sienna: “Relax Regan. He’s getting his match. It all worked out. I needed to just be forceful. Didn’t have time to go through everything. We’re friends. You can trust me.”

 

Regan: “I know but-“

 

Sienna: “Anyway I need to go. Chris is in action and I would hate to miss that…especially when he’s against Kennedy.”

 

Sienna turns and walks off as Regan watches her leave. She shakes her head and turns to Mikaela. Mikaela shrugs before we cut to the ring.

Kennedy Street vs. Chris Cannon

 

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the robe, revealing her wrestling attire. Kennedy cracks a smirk. She raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers looking over to the fans and smirks.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Beverly Hills, California, she is the Sexy, Flawless Diva, Kennedy Street!”

 

She continues to make her way down to the ring, arriving at the apron, crawling in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing as the crowd roars. Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner.

 

Sharper: “Big match here between two amazing athletes. Kennedy Street and Chris Cannon about to clash. Kennedy Street stunning not a target of the Network.”

 

Knots: “Thank God, but they’ve moved onto other things like Xander and I hope they stay away. Xander going after Kennedy would be terrifying!”

 

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

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

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

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

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

 

Sharper: “Chris Cannon and Kennedy Street know each other well. Kelcey and Kennedy have become good friends and Cannon obviously there, married to Kennedy.”

 

Knots: “This could be a hell of a match here. And the World Champion is going to be watching too!”

 

The bell sounds. Cannon and Kennedy head toward one another and Cannon lunges and Kennedy ducks down and goes for the legs. She takes Cannon down with a double leg takedown.

Sharper: “Cannon with a nearfall, but now Sienna Swann at ringside. Sienna wanted to specifically watch Cannon compete.”

 

Knots: “Just offering some support. Too bad it’s against Kennie!”

 

Cannon tells her to leave and Cannon turns around and Kennedy starts to get up and Cannon scoops her up and slams her down. He turns and exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. Sienna applauds as Cannon gets to the top and refocuses before turning to Kennedy. Kennedy gets up and Cannon dives off and goes for top rope diving leg drop takedown, but Kennedy ducks. Cannon hits the mat and rolls to the floor. Sienna walks around and goes over to check on Cannon. Cannon gets up and winces and tells her to get away. Kennedy meanwhile runs into the ropes, going on instinct, bounces off and runs at Cannon and dives through for a tope and dives into Cannon and Sienna, nailing Cannon more, but catching Sienna with an arm. Sienna rolls over as Kennedy then rolls over and turns. (1)

 

Sharper: “Kennedy caught Sienna too!”

 

Knots: “I don’t know if that was on purpose or not!”

 

Sharper: “Kennedy competing here. As is Cannon. Sienna interjecting herself for some reason-“

 

Knots: “We know why. Chris Cannon!”

 

Sienna rolls over as Kennedy grabs Cannon. (2) She turns and rolls him into the ring. Cannon rolls over and the referee checks on Cannon as Kennedy turns to the ring, but Sienna pulls her down and nails her with a forearm shot before spinning her around and throwing her into the steel steps. The referee turns seeing Kennedy throw into the steps and immediately calls for the bell. The bell sounds and Sienna turns back and shrugs.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via disqualification, Kennedy Street!”

 

Cannon rolls over and looks over. Sienna just turns to Sienna as she looks innocently before stepping back. Cannon gets up and walks over to her.

 

Cannon: “What did you do?”

 

Sienna: “Guess I overstepped. I’ll just have to owe you.”

 

Sienna winks at Cannon as Cannon turns away, shaking his head as Sienna walks around the ring. The crowd boos some as Kennedy rolls over in pain at ringside. Cannon then looks at Sienna before turning to Kennedy. He drops down to the floor and heads over to Kennedy. Sienna looks up at the big screen and stops a moment before turning back and looking at Cannon, less pleased.

 

Sharper: “Sienna costing Cannon this match…”

 

Knots: “Did she just offer to make it up to Chris? I get she’s always had a crush on Chris, but…he’s married!”

 

Sharper: “First Scarlet trying to convince Aaron Blackbourne to give her a chance and doing so very forwardly and Sienna Swann now looking to take everything from Kelcey Wallace. Took the moniker. Now World Champion. Flirting with her husband.”

 

Knots: “At least Chris is checking on Kennedy. Sienna…you didn’t have to go after Kennedy!”

 

Sharper: “Jon, you’re going to have to make another choice as I don’t think Sienna Swann and Kennedy Street will be done with one another and one day, they’ll meet again. For the title or not. Kennedy’s said that and Sienna Swann said so much earlier too.”

 

Cannon checks on Kennedy along with the official.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown…”

Breakdown returns as the cameras pan down from the ceiling to show Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters in the SCW Studios in Toronto.

 

Spirit: “Welcome back to Toronto. Spirit Dansby here with Shawn Winters. What a night it’s been. We have some more information on Under Attack.”

 

Winters: “Some information? Some big information. Sienna Swann won’t be there. Are you joining her?”

 

Spirit: “I wish. But I’m not. She told me about it last week. Obviously had to make sure she retained. She’s not that cocky!”

 

Winters: “Uh-huh. That’s why she was flirting with Chris Cannon.”

 

Spirit: “She’s just having some fun. She’s on top of the world. World Champion. Chris and her are friends. Just like Chris and Kennedy are.”

 

Winters: “I’m sure. But while Sienna is away. Her next challenger for the World Title. He’s got Datura at Under Attack. So we’ll see what Datura is up for when she’s in action in a bit. But not just that, Trueloves are going to be a chamber match for a Tag Title shot!”

 

Spirit: “Still looking to confirm the other competitors in that one, but London and Paris, not the arena they wanted, but they’ll show off anyway.”

 

Winters: “I’m sure they will-“

 

We then abruptly cut to the ring to see Ikiro Yoshida nailing Chris Cannon with a hard right, knocking him down as he rolls down the rampway. He turns and hits a straight kick to the Kennedy, knocking her back down.

 

Spirit: “Ikiro Yoshida is attacking Chris Cannon and Kennedy!”

 

Winters: “Well how about that!”

 

Chris gets up and Ikiro runs at him and spears him back into the ring. Chris winces and Ikiro nails him with a hard right and then another before spinning him into the ring. Officials quickly come down to the ring as Ikiro rolls in as the crowd boos. Cannon gets up and Ikiro hits a kick to the ribs before hitting a spinning back kick to the jaw and then another one to the ribs. Cannon falls over. Ikiro walks over and nails Cannon with a couple of hard rights, standing over him before officials get him off. Kennedy starts to head to the ring as Cannon rolls over.

 

Spirit: “I don’t understand this at all.”

 

Winters: “Cannon helped Kennedy Street. Now Ikiro Yoshida is assaulting him. The crowd is stunned. I’m stunned.”

 

Ikiro keeps looking at Cannon as officials get him back to the corner. Kennedy moves to check on Cannon along with a couple of officials as Ikiro looks over at Cannon. We then cut back to the studios to see Spirit turning to Winters as Winters shakes his head.

 

Winters: “Something came over Ikiro Yoshida and he just went after Superman!”

 

Spirit: “Not just went after. Tried to leave a mark. Cannon didn’t have a chance to defend himself.”

 

Winters: “Clearly something set him off.”

 

Spirit: “Either way, we’ll try to get Hana or Jessica to get a hold of Ikiro and give us some answer. But just another thing to add to what’s been a noteworthy night. One that’s seen Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall not here as they claim travel issues.”

 

Winters: “Well they did end up going to Calgary instead. Some travel issues the last few days.”

 

Spirit: “Josh Hudson dealing with that. Sienna Swann and AJ Helms having their negotiations. Xander Valentine firmly part of the Network. Max Kane finally out. Now Ikiro! And plenty more to come tonight.”

 

Winters: “Yeah. Syren and Jake Starr meeting up. Long history there. They’ll face each other. But I’m looking forward to Bree Lancaster having to join Jason Helms later tonight against Abigail Lindsay!”

 

Spirit: “Horrible!”

 

Winters: “Hey. She’s been annoying and shrill and caused a lot of problems. This is a bit of karma.”

 

Spirit: “So! She doesn’t want to do it. Let her find her own partner. Jason two. Give it a shot to the Trueloves.”

 

Winters: “Gotta love when you’re boosting people you like.”

 

Spirit: “I happen to agree with them.”

 

Winters: “Uh-huh.”

 

Spirit: “Whatever. We’ll be back with more. What else is going to happen tonight?”

 

Winters: “I can tell you one thing. Datura is in action next! This is going to be fun!”

 

Spirit: “We return to Edmonton after this!”

 

The camera pans back as we cut to a live shot inside the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta as the scene fades out.

Datura vs. Dustin Adams

 

“Seizure of Power” hits the speakers as olive lights flicker around the arena, smoke and sparks fills the entrance ramp as Dustin Adams steps into the smoke and allows it to cover him before letting out a primal roar and extending his arms up and looking focused.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, from Detroit, Michigan, he is Dustin Adams!”

 

He slowly walks down towards the ring and hops up onto the apron and quickly into the ring looking ready for a fight. He loosens up in the ring before getting ready to face his opponent.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Edmonton for Breakdown and next, one of the moments we’ve been anticipating for weeks. Dustin Adams about to make his way to the ring and he’s on a win streak of his own.”

 

Knots: “Beat Tommy Valentine. Beat Autumn Valentine. And imagine if he beats Datura here.”

 

Sharper: “And we know Datura will face AJ Helms at Under Attack. So Datura knows exactly what she’s getting and this is a tune-up. But I can’t see Dustin Adams being happy about that being so explicit.”

 

Knots: “No, no he won’t be happy!”

 

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

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

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

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

The arena turns black. On the screen, scenes of post-apocalyptic landscapes haunt the darkness. Over the speakers, an eerie synth pad sets the mood as a deep, raspy voice begins speaking:

A chorus of strings play a melancholic tune as a pale spotlight settles at the top of the ramp. There, it falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight, dark jeans and a black hoodie. She stops at the top of the ramp and stares out into the darkness of the crowd and sea of jeers that flood her way.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Tampa, Florida, she is Datura!”


Elizabeth trudges down the ramp, and the light following. The silhouette of hands reaching out to grab her can be seen on the outskirts of the light. Datura ignores them as she climbs up the steps. The strings slow. Datura stands upon the apron, cracks her neck, and enters under the top rope. She makes her way to the corner and unzips her hoodie. She extends her arms outward and rolls her neck, casting her gaze to the sky as her hoodie slides off her arms. Dustin Adams looks at her, unimpressed.

 

Sharper: “Dustin may be taking Datura a bit lightly, but she has a reputation.”

 

Knots: “And one that she’s looking to showcase in SCW. It eats her up that she lost to David Helms back in 2015.”

 

Sharper: “And that has eaten away at her. But can it motivate her here as she’s made it clear that she’s going after the Helms family as it remains in SCW!”

 

Datura looks at Dustin as the crowd roars. The bell sounds. Adams smirks as he walks up and looks at Datura. Datura walks up to Adams too as Adams looks down at Datura and Datura turns away briefly before she shrugs and nails him with a hard right. Dustin stumbles back and turns away as the crowd roars. Dustin turns back and goes for a swinging haymaker, but Datura ducks. Adams tries another shot, but Datura ducks that and kicks him in the ribs. She then reaches up and rakes his eyes. The crowd roars. Dustin falls to the ropes. Datura moves in and then jumps up and hits an enziguri kick to the side of the head. Dustin goes up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd roars. Datura turns, looking out at the crowd on her knees as she smirks with some self-satisfaction.

 

Sharper: “Datura introducing Dustin Adams to what she represents!”

 

Knots: “She’ll do anything and Adams just found that out!”

 

Sharper: “Think he got the memo.”

 

Dustin rolls over on the floor.  (1) He then turns, annoyed and rolls back in. He gets up and lunges at Datura. Datura ducks and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and hits a Yakuza kick to the jaw. Dustin falls back. Datura goes for the pin.

Adams kicks out. Both get up and Datura grabs him by the head and then ducks under to go for a back suplex. Adams however knees her in the ribs and hip tosses her over. Datura rolls over and Adams scoops her up and hits a powerslam. The crowd ohs. He goes for the pin.

Datura kicks out and rolls over to the ropes. She starts to get up as Adams looks at her.

 

Adams: “Now you think you’re clever?”

 

Adams walks over to Datura, but Datura turns and stomps him in the foot. He grimaces and Datura ducks under his arm and rolls him up with a school boy.

Adams kicks out and gets up and Datura hits a boot. Adams falls to his knees. Datura just smirks. She then runs into the ropes, bounces off and jumps up to Adams, trying for a running bulldog, but Adams blocks it and scoops her up and places her on his shoulder.

 

Sharper: “Adams powering out as the back and forth is real. Datura is getting under his skin.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but he’s a man who’s been in prison. You don’t want to get under his skin!”

 

Adams turns and runs at the corner and Datura slides down behind him. Adams turns and Datura nails him with a forearm shot and then another. Adams then shoves her back. Datura rolls through. Adams then steps out and nails her with a hard right haymaker. The crowd ohs and boos. Datura turns and grimaces from the impact and gets up and Adams scoops her up and steps forward and hits a fallaway slam. He then turns and smirks and goes for the pin.

Datura suddenly locks in a kimura lock. The crowd roars as she gets her shoulder off the canvas simultaneously. Adams struggles as Datura keeps trying to pull on the arm and Adams knees her in the side and then again and she lets go, rolling to the apron.

 

Sharper: “Datura catching Adams there for a moment. Trying to get him to tap.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but too big and too angry. Just kneed his way out.”

 

Datura gets up on the apron and Adams gets up and shakes out his arm before grabbing her and hip tossing her into the ring. Datura rolls over and turns and Adams nails her in the ribs with a hard right. He then nails her again. He then smirks before scooping her up, but Datura lands behind him. She then manages to hoist him up just enough to get a Saito suplex. The crowd roars. Datura winces, holding her back as Adams starts to get up and she runs at him and Adams elbows her in the jaw. He then grabs her and goes to pull her in for the Death Row Slam, but Datura grabs his arm and fluidly moves into a hammerlock. She then jumps up onto his back and pulls back on his head. Adams falls back, but Datura immediately locks in the grapevine too, glancing back to the ropes for good measure, locking in the Fever Dream!

 

Sharper: “Datura has the Fever Dream locked in!”

 

Knots: “And she managed to get Adams to get it fully locked in. He fell back, from being unbalanced and Datura could lock it in fully!”

 

Sharper: “Adams is fading! He’s fading!”

 

Adams struggles a moment as Datura keeps pulling back on his head. He tries to hold on for a few moments reaching out, but Datura has him positioned exactly where she wants and he taps. The crowd cheers as Datura holds on until she hears the bell. It sounds and she lets go. Adams rolls to his side, holding his arm and Datura slides back to the corner, keeping her eyes on Adams.

 

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

 

Sharper: “Datura wins her return! Adams’ power not enough and Datura’s positioning and technical skill leading to the submission.”

 

Knots: “Even setting it up with that Kimura. Always thinking ahead.”

 

Datura then looks at him as Adams rolls over and moves to the ropes and to the floor. He grits his teeth, annoyed and in pain as Datura then pulls herself up to her feet in the corner. She steps forward and looks for Jason Phillips. She extends her arm toward him, motioning to him as Phillips walks over and hands her a microphone. She takes it and looks over at Dustin Adams before turning to the main camera.

 

Datura: “Oh AJ…I hope you were watching. Our inevitable clash now has a date. October 21st. Under Attack. So kindly given to you as a friend couldn’t be bothered to give you your title match. A shame that she was so transparent in her aims. At least I’ll get what I want. Keep counting AJ. Not much longer. And only the beginning.”

 

Datura brings the microphone down as she turns and hands it back to Jason Phillips. “Dead Flag Blues” begins to play again as Datura looks around the arena and drops down to the floor. She then starts to head to the back.

 

Sharper: “A clear message to AJ Helms. Eleven days before Datura and him will face!”

 

Knots: “AJ will be ready. He’ll have the speed to match Datura.”

 

Sharper: “It’s not the speed. It’s the impact…and the will.”

 

The camera remains on Datura as the scene cuts away.

Ikiro Yoshida is backstage walking through one of the hallways as the crowd boos. Hana Ito can be seen heading over to him.

 

Hana: “Yoshida-san!”

 

Ikiro stops and turns.

 

Ikiro: “Hana…”

 

Hana: “Why…why did you attack Chris Cannon? That’s not like you?”

 

Ikiro looks down and takes a few moments before looking up.

 

Ikiro: “He disrespected the champion. He disrespected the Angel….He disrespected Sienna. And I don’t stand for that!”

 

Ikiro then turns and walks off. Hana just watches him leave a bit stunned as the scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as Datura can be seen walking backstage. The crowd cheers seeing her. She takes a few more steps before looking up and slowing down. The camera pans back to show Alexis Quinne walking over to her. The crowd roars with cheers. The two just look at one another for a moment before Quinne steps past Datura and continues to walk off as Datura smirks and continues on her way.

 

“The Time is Now” by Atreyu starts to play and the Under Attack logo comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. It’s been a big night if you’re looking forward to Under Attack. Datura will face AJ Helms. Donovan Kayl will face Damian Angel.”

 

Knots: “Jason Helms and Bree Lancaster against Lohan Country!”

 

Sharper: “We know there will be a World Tag Team Championship contendership chamber match. But we know the Adrenaline Championship will on the line and we can confirm who will be a part of that match and it’s a hell of a challenge for Andrew Raynes!”

 

A still comes up on the screen showing Andrew Raynes, Marie Jones, Ravyn Taylor, Christy Matthews, Tommy Valentine and Alistaire Allocco.

 

Knots: “He’s successfully defended the title seven times in a row!”

 

Sharper: “He’ll need to do plenty here. He’s had issues with Ravyn Taylor, Christy Matthews, Tommy Valentine. We know of Marie Jones and now Alistaire Allocco is number six. Allocco beat Raynes last week in triple threat action. Beat Marie earlier tonight. The Adrenaline Title in a hell of a match here.”

 

Knots: “Andrew Raynes is with Jessica Winters. I’m sure he has plenty to say!”

 

The scene cuts backstage to see Jessica Winters with Andrew Raynes as Dustin Adams sits down behind Raynes, annoyed.

 

Raynes: “Yo…relax. We’ll take care of it.”

 

Jessica: “Thanks Jon, Adam…Andrew-“

 

Raynes turns back.

 

Raynes: “Do you think I care who they put in front of me in this? I’ve taken down everyone in my way. Ravyn Taylor, outsmarted. Christy Matthews, outwrestled. Tommy, couldn’t even stand being in the same ring as me. Alistaire Allocco, yeah he won last year, but he won’t Ace to help him, and Marie…You can get pissy all you want, but you’re not beating me. Longest reigning current champion in SCW. It’s that simple.”

 

Raynes scoffs.

 

Raynes: “But that’s fine…I can get through five contenders and then who. Line them up. Because this title…”

 

Raynes holds up the Adrenaline Championship.

 

Raynes: “It’s not going anywhere. And D…find me some competition. These second chances are getting tiring.”

 

Raynes steps back as he turns to Adams.

 

Jessica: “Back to the ring.”

 

We cut back to ringside.

Slayter McKinney vs. Owen Cruze

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...”

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

Phillips: “Fighting out of Yorkshire, UK.... she is Slayter McKinney!”

Slayter makes her way down the ramp, with a hop in each energetic step, slapping hands with the fans before rolling up on to the ring apron on her knees. She grips the rope and climbs to her feet and does a quick, on-beat turn to the crowd before stepping in under the middle rope and climbing to the corner turnbuckle for one last pop from the crowd. Slayter then hops down and starts warming up and preparing in her corner.

Sharper: “Slayter McKinney, still a newcomer here to SCW, but she's made an impression. She wants to work, she wants to fight, she wants to prove herself.”

Knots: “Seems cliché to me, doesn't everyone? Give me better motivation than that!”

The opening beats to Southpaw Swagger's 'It's Showtime' kicks in over the speaker system, the fans jumping to their feet in acknowledgment of who is about to step out onto the stage. A huge roar greets Owen Cruze as he steps out onto the stage, a massive grin on his face.

"It's Showtime!"

He brings his arms out to his side, nodding his head. His arms shaking he brings them in, crossing them across his chest.

Phillips:” And her opponent... currently on the way to the ring and weighing in at 189Ibs... Owen Cruze!'”


"It's Showtime!"

He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking to the ring. He runs up the ring steps and across the apron, turning to face the fans whilst he holds the rope, punching out with the other hand. He enters the ring and immediately climbs up to the top turnbuckle and applauds the fans, which gets another huge reaction from them. Owen then somersaults backwards, landing on his feet and bounces off the ropes, the smile still evident on his face as his music fades.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze looking just as ready and eager to kick off as always.'

Knots: “Both of these wrestlers need some momentum under them. Fatal Fortunes put them both in multiple-person matches, and they both were not successful.”

Sharper: “That's right, a win here tonight would give either one a much needed boost heading into Under Attack in ten days.”

The bell rings, and Owen sprints at Slayter, catching her in a quick lockup. She takes a few steps backwards, surprised at his speed. Owen grabs her arm and sends her across. Slayter bounces back and Owen jumps for a spinning heel kick. Slayter runs right into it, and snaps down to the mat. Slayter sits up quick. Owen steps behind her and lands a low dropkick to her back. He pushes her down and makes a cover.

1!

Slayter kicks out. Owen gets up and backs up, giving Slayter room to get up. She gets to a knee, then up to her feet. The crowd claps. They lock up again. Slayter this time switches behind Owen and applies a hammerlock. Owen cringes a little and struggles a bit, making Slayter pull back harder. She then steps back, pulling Owen with her, then uses the middle rope for leverage before pushing off and flipping over, taking Owen down with a DDT. The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “Oh my, what was that?”

Knots: “A DDT, Adam. Are you going senile on me?”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Slayter then drops down and starts to go for some form of armbar. Owen though pushes her off and rolls away before she can get much of a grip. Slayter isn't bothered, she runs the ropes and on the return as Owen gets to his feet, Slayter takes him down with a headscissors. She makes a cover.

1!

Owen kicks out. They both get up and spin to their feet, facing off in the middle of the ring. The crowd roars.

Sharper: A pair of one counts here, both trying to put a quick end to this. I'm not sure who has the advantage here.”

Knots: “I'm gonna go with Cruze. Just for the pedigree.”

Sharper: “I'll say Slayter, just for the experience factor.”

Knots: “You just don't want to agree with me.”

Sharper: “Maybe.”

Owen grabs Slayter by the arm and takes her down with a hip toss. He then hurries to the corner, and jumps off the middle ropes with a double knee drop. Slayter cringes and holds her abdomen. Owen goes for another cover.

1!

2!

Slayter gets her shoulder up. Owen pulls her up and whips her into the corner. He runs at her for a splash, but Slayter spins out of the way. Owen crashes into the turnbuckles. The crowd oohs. Slayter grabs him from behind and snaps back with a full nelson suplex. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Wow, I wouldn't have thought she could get him up and over for that! Slayter McKinney is a lot stronger than she looks!”

Knots: “Are you kidding? Owen is a string bean on feet, I'm not that impressed.”

Slayter follows up with another armbar attempt. This time she gets into position for a cross armbreaker. Owen locks his hands together though, preventing a full extension. The crowd roars as Owen turns and manages to sit up, then uses his feet to drag himself closer to the ropes. He stretches, and touches one foot to the bottom rope. The ref calls for a break, and Slayer lets go. Owen starts to get up, but Slayter grabs him and rolls over and through with a roll up pin.

1!

2!

Sharper: “Cover out of nowhere!”

Knots: “And Cruze counters!”

Owen flips Slayter over and rolls her up himself. She struggles frantically.

1!

2!

3!

Slayter kicks out a second too late. The bell rings as the crowd cheers.

Phillips: “And your winner, via pinfall.... Owen Cruze!”

Owen gets to his feet, and the official raises his arm. Slayter sits for a second, then gets to her feet too. They look at each other a second, Slayter nodding in defeat. The official lets go of Owen's arm, and Owen offers his hand to Slayter. She looks at him a second, then takes it. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Nice display of sportsmanship right there, and a nice win for Owen Cruze.”

Knots: “Slayter nearly had him, Owen just tipped the balance his way.”

Sharper: “Both of these competitors are showing us what the future of SCW looks like, and I think we'll be in good hands with them.”

 

Just then “What I Believe” by Skillet starts to play. The crowd erupts in cheers as Owen and Slayter turn to the entrance way. Selena Frost then walks out from the back.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost! She’s coming down to the ring.”

 

Knots: “She was in the ring with Slayter last week and gave her props. Guess she was watching her this week.”

 

Selena Frost walks down to the ring as Slayter and Owen both just watch her, both trying to catch their breath. Selena then walks over to the steel steps and walks up them. She then looks at both smiling. She applauds them briefly before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. She then looks at both before applauding some more. She then says something to both of them before stepping forward and grabbing both of their arms and raising them over her head. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Selena coming out and seemingly giving props to both of them!”

 

Knots: “Not in action. Guess she WAS watching!”

 

Sharper: “And she must have been impressed. Holding both Slayter McKinney and Owen Cruze’s arms in victory.”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as Selena Frost holds their arms up and then turns them to the other side of the ring. She holds it for a moment before stepping back and applauding, talking to both of them. The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, the scene opens up as Slayter McKinney, Selena Frost and Owen Cruze are in front of one of the locker rooms.

 

Slayter: “Hey, Selena. I appreciate it, but look, after last week, after how close-“

 

Selena: “You came out and you tore the house down with Owen. You barely lost. Both weeks. I know. It stings. You want to win. Owen, you’re the same. You faced Regan and Josh, and the battle royal. But you’re not complaining. You’re fighting. You’re competing. You’re making everyone notice you.”

 

Slayter looks at Selena as does Owen.

 

Selena: “Slayter, you pushed me last week. How long were you out?”

 

Slayter: “Eight years.”

 

Selena: “And you’re already showing you’re a threat. Owen, you’re eighteen. You just started wrestling this year…I’ve been dealing with Regan and Giovanni and Sienna, the arrogance. The ridiculousness. The attacks. The pure rage. You two are a breath of fresh air. Remember that. Both of you.”

 

Slayter: “Thank you.”

 

Owen: “Thank you…”

 

Slayter: “I should go shower and get changed. Thank you.”

 

Slayter turns and enters the locker room. Selena goes to walk off. Owen then stops her.

 

Owen: “Breath of fresh air?”

 

Selena: “Yes…even with what I heard you say…in the promos for this show locally. That I endorsed Slayter…”

 

Owen: “Not a bad thing. Just…trying to stake my claim to whatever my spot is.”

 

Selena: “You’re getting there. You’re only six months into your run.”

 

Owen: “Yeah…and six months into my run…what did you see in Slayter?”

 

Selena: “Being in the ring with her. I knew she was special. You feel it. You’ve felt it with some people.”

 

Owen: “What about me then?”

 

Selena: “Outside of the Taking Hold of the Flame and the Trios…not been in the same ring with you.”

 

Owen: “Well, how about we fix that? You and I. You said breath of fresh air. How about a match without the BS?”

 

Selena: “Did Kelcey suggest this?”

 

Selena smirks.

 

Owen: “No…all me. Under Attack. You and I?”

 

Selena: “You know what, Owen…I’ll see you in the ring then.”

 

Selena heads off as Owen claps his hands and rubs them, excitedly. He then walks off.

Syren vs. Jake Starr

 

Phillips: “The following contest is schedule for one fall!”

The arena goes dark and the crowd begins to get loud. The opening chords of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to echo throughout the arena. 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 pyrotechnics erupts on the stage and the arena fills with lights and Jake Starr comes strutting out from backstage. He immediately stops on the stage and surveys the crowd, feeling their energy and absorbing it all in. He begins his walk toward the ring.  As he walks down the ramp, he occasionally throws a hand to the side, slapping a hand and giving a fistbump to the outstretched hands of the SCW fanbase.

Phillips: “Introducing first from Des Moines, Iowa… weighing in this evening at 245 pounds, he is the Social Misfit…JAKE STARRR!!!”

Sharper: “Tonight we’re in for a treat. Two acclaimed wrestlers, maybe two of the best, a number of SCW World title reigns between the two. And they’re meeting in the ring.”

Upon reaching the ring, he hops up on the apron with one knee, pulling himself up, and stepping through the middle rope. He immediately makes his way to the far corner, climbing to the top rope. As the chorus hits, spotlights illuminate Jake and he simply stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. He lifts his arms up, then 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.
Knots: “Beginning of the year, both were competing for the SCW World title. But things have changed, Jake Starr haven’t come up big as of late and Syren, despite her status, as not been mentioned in SCW Title conversation since Rise to Greatness.”

Sharper: “Both are hoping to make a case here tonight that they deserve to be considered for a title opportunity.”

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


Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words ‘JUST BE JEALOUS’ accompanied by her heart-logo. She spins back around before pointing toward the ring and starting to head down toward it, slapping hands on her way down to ringside.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California…. SYREN!”

Once at ringside she jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the cheering fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little to more boos from the fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring, climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air. After a few seconds of posing she blows a kiss out to the crowd and jumps down, walking across the ring to the other side where again she stands on the middle turnbuckle, waving at the fans and blowing another kiss out to the crowd. After several more seconds she leaps down, removing her ring jacket and putting it in the corner before jumping up and sitting on the top turnbuckle.

Knots: “You think she recovered from the events that unfolded last week?”

Sharper: “She didn’t seem to expect that anyone would have figured out that the masked man was no other than her husband, Alexander Crowe.”

Knots: “He’s banned from SCW until he has a legal purpose of being here, but that might play a role in this match. Syren didn’t seem comfortable losing that-“

Sharper: “That handicap. That’s what it was. She has to do it on her own. She’s done it before, many times in fact, but let’s see if tonight she can adjust back to being on her own.”

 

Knots: “Well she does have CHBK, but something tells me they’re not going to poke the bear just for the hell of it!”

The bell rings. Syren is still adjusting her jacket on the corner and as she turned, Jake has charged forward, launch himself for a flying clothesline. Both competitors fall back into the corner, with Syren pinned underneath the weight of Starr. The crowd cheers as Starr unloads a furry of forearms to Syren’s head. Syren drops down to the middle rope and attempts to cover up. Starr hops backwards, takes a few steps back as Syren grabs a hold of the ropes to pull herself up but he launches himself forward again, front drop kick right to the face of Syren.

Knots: “Starr is showing that he can be aggressive! Very aggressive!”

Sharper: “He’s trying to get back to where he was. He is less than a year remove from being at the top of this company, but he has fallen. He knows it! But he’s not going to wallow in self-pity, he’s going to do something about it.”

Knots: “You make him sound like some sort of hero.”

Sharper: “Some might find his story inspirational.”

Syren crawls along the ropes, holding her face. Starr walks up and swings a stiff kick to her shoulder. She tumbles out onto the apron. Starr reaches over the top rope, to lead her to her feet. She strikes suddenly with a enziguri. Starr stumbles backwards. Landing on her feet outside the ring, she slides back in. Syren leaps up towards Starr as Starr attempts to pluck her from midair, she swings her body around Starr with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors to send Starr flying across the mat. Starr rolls over, onto his feet, but Syren’s on him with an elbow to the spin before bringing the opposite elbow across his face as he rises to greet her. He is knocked back into the corner. Syren steps back and then runs forward for a splash, but Jake gets his boot up. Syren backpedals, holding her jaw but she comes at Jake again and Jake grabs her by the shoulders and tosses her back into the corner, he knees Syren once before again unrelenting forearms.

Sharper: “Again, Starr being aggressive, trying to suffocate Syren.”

Knots: “What’s gotten into him?”

Sharper: “Those forearms are turning into fists and the referee’s going to try to break it up.”

Referee steps in between Starr, trying to motion him to step back. Starr relents only to step forward but Syren dropkicks him in the knee. He staffers and Syren snatches his head and snapmares him into the center of the ring. There’s a stiff kick to his back. She hops over him and comes charging back with a front dropkick while he remained in a seated position. She retreats to a corner and sizes him up. Starr stands and turns, looking for her and there’s a savate kick! Starr drops to the mat and Syren covers:

1…

2…

Starr kicks out. Syren goes to stand. She reaches down to pull Starr up but suddenly Starr rolls her up into a pin of his own:

1…

2…

3-

Syren gets her shoulder, almost failing to notice the pin attempt. She seems flustered as a result as Starr rolls over to the ropes. He goes out to the apron. Syren stands up immediately and approaches him.

Sharper: “Syren delivering a strong strike with that Savate kick, nice cover but Jake showing his veteran wit, almost stole a victory.”

Knots: “Ha!”

Syren reaches throw the middle rope to grab Starr but Starr punches her right in the face. He doesn’t let her reel back, his other hand grabbed her head. He stands on the apron and knees Syren right in the side of the head. This the impact knocks her back into the ring. She reeling, staggering, trying to regain her balance. She turns to face Starr but he’s on the top rope. Springboard dropkick as Syren starts for him, adding her own momentum to the impact. Her body does a 360 as she flops onto the mat. The crowd reacts strongly, mostly cheers some boos. Starr poses for the crowd for a moment before turning towards the corner. He hops up onto the second tunbuckle, then the top, and completes a picture perfect moonsault onto Syren. He hooks the leg and covers:

1…

2…

3-

Syren kicks out.

Sharper: “That time Starr didn’t need tricks. He almost seized the victory there. What an onslaught of aerial attacks that have threatened Syren.”

Knots: “The three count seemed a little too fast. Not that I’m complaining!”

Sharper: “Syren is reeling. That surprise pin flustered her and Jake continued to strike hard and fast.”

Knots: “Takes only one well placed strike to knock someone out. We’re seeing Syren struggle against this blitzkrieg of strikes from Starr.”

Jake Starr hooks his arms around Syren and lifts her to a standing position. With the arms still tucked around her waist, he lifts her up and delivers a german suplex. He arches his back, and pins:

1…

2…

3-

Syren shoots her shoulder up. Jake doesn’t releases his hold. He pulls on her again trying to carry her up. She manages to drive her boot down his shin. Slipping her arms out, she reaches back and gouges his eyes. The referee warns her but she falls forward, trying to escape Jake Starr’s grasp. She allows herself to rebound off the ropes as Jake reaches forward with both arm, she jumps up and hits the Golden Blonde, inverted lungblow. Jake is launched backwards, his body bounces off and he lands on the ropes.

Knots: “Syren’s managing to strike back. Jake Starr has been on top of her most the match, this is great! Syren maybe can’t win without the BS!”

Sharper: “She always had grit. Question, will this continue? Like Syren of the old, will she find a way to win without a shortcut?”

Jake Starr shakes his head and steps forward. Syren has found her feet as well. From the side, she strikes, the Facelift Yakuza kick. Jake crumples in the center of the ring. The blow must have struck gold as he could be very well unconscious. Syren drops down onto Starr. Goes for the pin:

1…

2…

3-

Starr shoots his shoulder up. Syren rolls off.

Knots: “Close call. I thought Starr was knocked out.”

Sharper: “If he was, it could have been a natural reflex to kick out.”

Syren pushes him over onto his stomach. Under hooking both the arms, he pulled him to his feet. She goes for the Total Makeover, but Starr counters with a back body drop. Starr shouts to the crowd. Syren’s back up in a scramble, and there’s a pele kick for her efforts. She goes down, perfectly in the center of the ring. Starr points towards the corner and tosses himself up onto the top rope. The Falling Starr! Syren gets her knees up. He crashes down. She rolls out of the ring on the apron. Both competitors are down.

Knots: “Jake Starr flew, but he got too close to the sun and he crashed and burned!”

Sharper: “We thought the match might be over, but Syren shows that she too has some of the best awareness and reflexes in this sport.”

Syren pulls herself up onto apron as Starr is still rolling around holding his midsection from where his body landed on the knees. Coughing, he stands and Syren snap into action. The Beauty Mark 720 DDT is delivered, and she follows through with a hooked leg:


1…

2…

3!

Sharper: “One fatal mistake was the difference between winning and losing. Starr thought he had Syren dead to rights for the Falling Starr, but Syren made him pay and she earned herself a victory.”

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

 

Syren rolls off and gets up. She then steps forward, snapping at the crowd. The referee raises her arm and she looks around before turning and demanding a microphone. Jake Starr rolls over as Syren drops to the floor, walking over to Phillips. She snatches the microphone from him and turns to the crowd.

 

Syren: “You see that! Is that what you wanted? For me to play ball, and win clean in this ring. I’ve always been able to do that. ALWAYS been able to beat ANYONE in this company. I just know that it doesn’t matter. Instead, AJ Helms gets lucky and gets his title shot. I get the entire field teaming up on me because they know I was the true threat in that match. And then what’s wrong with having my own backup, to make sure I just get what’s necessary. That’s what this was all about-“

 

The lights then go out. The crowd roars.

 

Syren: “Now what!”

 

A few moments pass before we hear a roar from the soundsystem. A few moments pass before the scene opens up to show Thirteen on the big screen. The crowd cheers seeing him. Syren looks up at the big screen and pulls herself onto the apron.

 

Thirteen: “Syren…you can keep talking about how you deserve everything, but what happened at Fatal Fortunes was the truest definition of what your hubris deserves. Your desire to control the narrative, to control your fate, has led you, CHBK and Ravyn to become fugitives of your own success…Everyone knows your skill. No one respects it. But Syren, that all is irrelevant to me.”

 

Thirteen pauses as he smiles.

 

Thirteen: “I saw I was going to return and right wrongs on this roster and you’ve had my attention for some time, but never more so when you used a masked individual to do your bidding at Rise to Greatness and other events, hoping to take the shortcut. Whereas that plan has been exposed and I may never be able to introduce him to justice, I can remove another crutch for your recent times. At Under Attack, I want to face you Syren. Your World Championship shot will not be forthcoming as you continue this, but I can give you what else you crave….attention, before snuffing that out.”

 

Syren goes to speak, but Thirteen continues.

 

Thirteen: “So Syren, bring yourself…and bring CHBK – a man I used to respect but now has tarnished his legacy in his stubbornness. Because before the night is done, I will make sure that you will be forced to compete as you are intended. And if not…I’ll make sure Under Attack is a night you will never forget!”

 

The crowd roars. Syren brings the microphone down, yelling at the screen that she’ll beat him as “The Vengeful One” by Disturbed plays in the background as Thirteen disappears from the screen.

 

Sharper: “Thirteen making a challenge. He returned in Apocalypse, looking to track down the masked man who also was involved at Rise to Greatness. And now, Thirteen could get his hands on Syren and wants CHBK too!”

 

Knots: “He willingly wants both?! He’s nuts!”

 

Sharper: “Knows exactly what he’s getting into then.”

 

Syren just looks around as we cut away.

Backstage, Ravyn Taylor is watching the monitor while on the phone.

 

Ravyn: “I understand, but I don’t care for your tone-“

 

She pauses a moment.

 

Ravyn: “Well I suggest we meet next week. Find the time. Things didn’t work out before and I’m not ready to pass on what opportunities could still be before us.”

 

Ravyn finishes her phone call as CHBK walks over to the monitor.

 

CHBK: “So?”

 

Ravyn: “Up to her…”

 

CHBK: “And Syren?”

 

Ravyn: “You may need to get your wrestling trunks. Thirteen wants you too.”

 

CHBK sighs. CHBK then just shakes his head as he heads off. Ravyn watches him as the scene cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

The arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos. A few moments pass before Mikaela Street and Regan Street walk out from the back, scanning the crowd. Regan begins her walk down the rampway with Mikaela a couple of strides behind her.

 

Sharper: “Regan Street had some fun last week at CHBK’s expense. Mikaela too. But the week before, she was involved in Dylan Howell’s match. He was against Tommy Valentine and Sienna Swann.”

 

Knots: “And that’s just ramping up too. That’s as personal as you can get. Regan took him out. Trying to help him out! Trying to get him to snap out of what he’s been doing for years!”

 

Sharper: “She also attacked his girlfriend!”

 

Knots: “The therapist that was supposed to help him!”

 

Sharper: “And she left practice to be with him when she realized she shouldn’t be a professional. The fact is that Regan Street assaulted Dylan and his girlfriend and for what? Some BS rationale of family?!”

 

Regan reaches the ring and pulls herself up onto the apron. She looks around and steps into the ring. Mikaela walks up the steel steps and then enters the ring as Regan walks across and goes to the corner, yelling and gesturing to the fans. The crowd boos some more as Regan just scoffs before hopping down. She steps back and turns over to the corner. She snaps at Phillips who hands her a microphone. Regan takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. She then looks around as her music fades out.

 

Regan: “Fatal Fortunes came and went. I’m not standing here holding gold. Probably a good sign given that pretty much everyone I can tolerate in this sport is holding gold and for a damn good reason…they’re that good.”

 

Regan pauses a moment.

 

Regan: “We didn’t have Datura come out, but Datura…you better watch what you say. I’ll let AJ fight his battle when he gets one, but if you want to keep bringing me up, I still owe you an asskicking from a couple of years ago.”

 

Regan paces a bit around the ring.

 

Regan: “But at least it wasn’t all for nothing. I got to have some fun beating that old son of a bitch and making sure Mikaela got the last laugh on him, while he played his games with people who don’t deserve to have their name uttered by me. Oh…and my brother Dylan got another reminder that he shouldn’t have a war with me. I can play you like a fiddle and Dylan, you know exactly what I’ll do with the instrument and the bow.”

 

The crowd roars as Regan looks at the camera.

 

Regan: “So Dylan, here is your last chance. Because I’ve already heard the rumours. At Under Attack, they’re going to put you up against me.”

 

The crowd starts to cheer as Regan keeps talking to the camera.

 

Regan: “I had hoped that my taking you out, instead of saying something stupid like leaving this business, you could go home, get your right, and do what is BEST for your family, but instead, you’re coming after me and Mikaela when we have ALWAYS had what is best in mind for you. If not, I’m going to have some fun. Just like Mikaela kicked CHBK in the face, I will to you. I’ll do a lot worse too.”

 

Sharper: “Uh, Regan…you’ve got company.”

 

The crowd keeps cheering as we see Dylan Howell appearing at ringside, holding a plastic tray of some sort.

 

Knots: “What the hell does he have with him?”

 

He slides the tray into the ring and rolls in. Mikaela taps Regan on the shoulder.

 

Regan: “What?”

 

Regan stops and turns to Mikaela who is pointing to Dylan Howell who stands up. He then pulls a microphone from inside the tray, as the camera cuts to show that it is filled with what appears to be kitty litter and a scoop.

 

Sharper: “Is that kitty litter?”

 

Knots: “Go taste some and tell me-Wait. Did he pull a microphone from there?!”

 

Regan: “You really are that stupid-“

 

Dylan: “Hi Regan…Hi Mikaela. I’m glad that Fatal Fortunes was a good night for you. I hope you appreciated that I let you have the moment last week with CHBK, getting some revenge for that history. It’s a shame that this situation between us has gotten into something involving revenge, because well…”

 

Regan just looks confused as Howell sits down next to the tray, sitting cross-legged. He then turns to Mikaela and Regan, a smile on his face.

 

Dylan: “…because there was a time where you felt highly about me. Looked out for me. Just like I look out for you. See, that’s what family actually does. They help each other out….”

 

Howell starts to move the litter around with the scoop in the middle. Regan and Mikaela just look at Dylan unsure of what to think.

 

Dylan: “And sometimes it meant having to deal with cleaning up your crap.”

 

Howell lifts up the scoop, letting the litter sift through it before scooping some more.

 

Dylan: “Sometimes it was a little bit. Sometimes it was a lot. Sometimes you were just pissed…Still had to find a way to scoop it up so you could be the star you are now Regan. And you too Miks.”

 

Regan: “What the hell are you doing?”

 

Dylan Howell turns to Regan and smiles.

 

Dylan: “Cleaning out the Hell Kitty Litter….and the Mikaela equivalent! It’s a visual. As well, I’m going to have to deal with this crap too. The crap that you’ve convinced yourself. The crap you’ve convinced Miks of. The crap that Miks believes. The fact that you’re pissed again.”

 

Regan: “You’re using toilet humour? Listen to yourself! This is why! You’re not healthy! I must have put you into that ring post too hard.”

 

Howell then throws the shovel down into the kitty litter. He gets up and steps forward. Regan shoves him back. Dylan plants his feet and looks at her, speaking calmly to her face.

 

Dylan: “The moment you attacked Sam I took this more seriously than anything else in my life. I saw my sisters turn on me because they’ve warped their own sense of reality.”

 

Dylan then steps back and smiles.

 

Dylan: “And so, Regan, I’m going to make YOU regret when you attack her. I don’t care about you attacking me. You think it’s to help me out. I would expect that of my family. But to attack the woman I love because you could. That is when you crossed a line. And you Mikaela…”

 

Dylan turns to Mikaela.

 

Dylan: “I always thought you would have my back. You watched as Regan broke our bond and for what…this CRAP! Well, I’m not going to cleaning after the two of you anymore. There won’t be a family reunion after this. You’ve RUINED all of that.”

 

Regan walks over to the kitty litter and smirks before looking down at it. She then looks at Dylan.

 

Dylan: “And Regan…So have you and at Under Attack, I will make you find out that I am fine and all you’ve done is destroy this family!”

 

Regan: “Yeah, well Dylan. Too bad, while you can claim things are changing, you can’t even see the reality.”

 

Regan then grabs a handful of the litter and goes to throw it at Dylan, but Dylan ducks at the last moment, causing Regan to throw the litter into the face of Mikaela. Mikaela turns, covering her face. The crowd roars and Howell then grabs Regan from behind and throws her back with a release German suplex. The crowd erupts in cheers. Dylan rolls over and goes to the microphone and turns to Regan.

 

Dylan: “You’ve forced me to have the match I never thought I would have. THAT is on you…SIS!”

 

Dylan throws the microphone down. Regan rolls over and Dylan then turns to the kitty litter tray and grabs it before turning and dumping it on Regan. Regan rolls over, trying to wipe some of it off as she coughs. Dylan throws the tray down onto her.

 

Sharper: “Dylan Howell! For a man that at one point tried to marry the Adrenaline Championship, I don’t know if using kitty litter as a visual and metaphor for what Regan has done and what Dylan will do is an improvement or not!”

 

Knots: “Why would you humiliate her like this? Why would you piss her off!”

 

Sharper: “Brothers, sisters…they razz one another, but this is a whole different level. We know Regan is not screwing around and despite the kitty litter, you can’t say Dylan is either!”

 

Knots: “And poor Mikaela!”

 

Regan looks at Dylan as Dylan exits the ring. Mikaela rubs her eyes, still trying to get the litter out of her face as Regan, covered in a bit of a dusty cover as she just looks at Dylan, seething. “Adrenaline” plays throughout the arena as Dylan Howell turns around and then points to Regan and then gives her a thumbs down before backing up the rampway. We cut away.

Backstage, Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall can be seen walking up to the building and Josh Hudson steps forward and officials manage to stop him. Cassidy proudly is holding the SCW Television Championship.

 

Hudson: “Let me go!”

 

Ace: “Oh look! A welcoming party!”

 

Hudson: “Let me go!”

 

Cassidy: “What? Do you want this? Sorry! I think it looks better on me!”

 

Hudson: “I don’t want that. I just want to kick your ass for pissing me off!”

 

Dean Black then comes out.

 

Dean: “Josh! Your match is next!”

 

Hudson: “I don’t care-“

 

Dean: “You don’t show up, you won’t be worrying about a replacement title.”

 

Cassidy: “Replacement title?”

 

Cassidy turns to Ace and smirks. Hudson glares at Dean. Hudson then steps back as he pulls away and storms to the back.

 

Cassidy: “Guess I won’t need to worry about meeting anyone. How nice. Thank you Josh! Free title!”

 

Dean: “No-“

 

Just then, we see Konrad Raab step out from the back.

 

Raab: “Really? That’s what you think you are now. Claimed you’re walking away with gold and you’re just stealing it and claiming it for your own.”

 

Ace and Cassidy look at one another. Cassidy shrugs.

 

Cassidy: “Yes.”

 

Konrad: “You’re not a champion. You’re a disgrace. That’s a title that many of us would fight for and do anything to hold.”

 

Konrad then steps forward as Dean watches him.

 

Ace: “Yeah, well Konny…won’t be happening. But ask Josh. He apparently wants to fight.”

 

Black: “Come on Konrad…We need to deal with Ace.”

 

Konrad looks at Ace before turning and stepping back and just then, Ace shrugs and goes for a cheap shot, but Konrad turns and nails him in with a hard right to the ribs and the a left to the jaw. Ace stumbles back. Cassidy catches him. Dean holds him back and just then,

 

Cassidy: “How dare you treat a champion this way!”

 

Cassidy turns and storms off with Ace. Konrad continues to be stopped by Konrad. We then hear car doors slam before an ignition is heard. A car starts to squeal out as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Mikaela holding a towel, rubbing her eyes. Regan walks with her, still showing some dustiness covering her.

 

Regan: “Sorry-“

 

Mikaela: “He ducked. Just make sure he gets it this time.”

 

Regan: “Oh don’t worry. I plan to kick his ass. He says he’s taking it seriously and pulls that. That’s what I’m trying to get him to end. So all he’s made sure is that I’m making his message a bit more powerful-“

 

The sound of a camera click is heard as Regan then turns, her eyes widening as Mikaela turns. The camera pans over to see Jason Helms with his camera out.

 

Jason: “Hey Reg! Looking good. Trying a new beauty regimen to get David all hot and bothered?”

 

Regan: “You get your ass back here!”

 

Jason turns and laughs as he runs off. Regan is stopped by Mikaela.

 

Regan: “Let me go-“

 

Mikaela: “Focus on murdering one person at a time.”

 

Regan just looks off past the camera as we cut away.

Scarlet Grey vs. Josh Hudson

SCW Television Championship

 

“Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix)” begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down the ramp.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, on her way to the ring, the challenger, accompanied by Ruby Amarant, she is Scarlet Grey!”

 

Ruby Amarant walks out with her. Scarlet slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off. Once she's in the ring she waits in the corner, eyes moving over to the referee with a look that's just begging for him to come over and 'inspect' her for foreign objects. The official backs off, as Ruby walks around the ring.

 

Sharper: “Scarlet Grey has an opportunity to win the TV Title and last week she said it was for Aaron.”

 

Knots: “Aaron was supposed to be in action, but SCW actually pulled the match, not wanting to risk anything. Aaron wanted the space away from Scarlet Grey!”

 

“Judas" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson. He just storms down to the ring.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from New York City, New York, he is Josh Hudson!”

 

He heads down and slides in. The SCW Television Championship logo comes up on the screen before the bell sounds. Hudson heads toward Scarlet Grey as Scarlet backs up and just leans back to the corner. Ruby Amarant looks on from the floor as Scarlet starts to says something to Hudson. Hudson then lunges and goes for Scarlet as Scarlet spins around and Hudson ends up in the corner. Scarlet nails him with a hard forearm shot and then another before kicking him in the ribs and then again and again and again. Hudson ends up sitting on the bottom turnbuckle and Scarlet steps forward to start to choke Hudson with her foot, but Hudson gets his hands up. He then pushes Scarlet back and shoves her back. He hits the mat and rolls over and Hudson runs at her and clotheslines her down.

 

Sharper: “Hudson running off pure rage from everything! Scarlet said something. Hudson just got enraged!”

 

Knots: “Well Scarlet proved last week she’s more dangerous than we’ve given her credit for. Clearly lulling him in while Hudson is focused on Cassidy, on Davis!”

 

Scarlet turns and gets up as Hudson turns around and knees her in the ribs. He then hits a gutwrench suplex. He goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Scarlet kicks out. Hudson smacks the mat and gets up as Scarlet moves back to the corner. Hudson moves after her and Scarlet kicks him in the ribs. Hudson stumbles back and Scarlet boots him in the side of the head. Hudson falls to a knee. Scarlet walks over and grabs him and pulls him back with a fall forward reverse DDT, ending up on top of him, pressing her chest into his face and chest for a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Hudson kicks out. He rolls over and moves to the ropes, annoyed as Scarlet gets up and kicks him in the ribs and then again before Hudson catches her a third attempt and pulls her in before turning and hitting a leg capture suplex.

 

Sharper: “Scarlet using that rage well. And making sure she’s getting some good shots in.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but Hudson just took her up and over. I don’t know if it’s worth it!”

 

Scarlet rolls over and Hudson goes over for the pin, but Ruby pulls on Scarlet’s arm and gets her to the ropes and Scarlet rolls out of the ring. Hudson just looks up and he gets up and exits to the apron and down to the floor. Scarlet rolls back in as Ruby backs up. Hudson glares at her. (1) He then turns back to the ring and rolls in. Hudson turns to Scarlet who suddenly grabs his head and hits a sitout facebuster. Hudson rolls to his back as Scarlet gets up and hits a split-legged leg drop to the face. The crowd ohs and Scarlet moves into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Hudson kicks out.

 

Sharper: “And Scarlet nearly wins it there. Nearly won the TV Title!”

 

Knots: “And should would’ve been jumping for joy, partially out of the fact that she was champion, partially to get Aaron Blackbourne’s attention!”

 

Hudson turns and starts to get up and Scarlet starts to show some frustration of her own as she stomps Hudson in the face and then again and again. Ruby yells something to her. Scarlet then stomps Hudson in the ribs and again, sending him to the ropes. Scarlet paces and snaps at the official as Ruby runs over and nails Hudson with a hard right. The crowd boos some as Hudson rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Ruby who challenged Hudson last week. She’s now getting involved. She knows Scarlet wants this title win!”

 

Knots: “And Scarlet’s getting a bit more frustrated!”

 

Sharper: “Hudson can’t say much about the tactics. He’s used them himself too!”

 

Hudson turns and Scarlet runs over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Hudson pushes her off. Scarlet turns and gets up. She then grabs Hudson and kicks him in the ribs as he gets up. Scarlet runs into the ropes, bounces off and goes to nail Hudson, but Hudson spins around and grabs Scarlet and hits a release German suplex. The crowd ohs and Scarlet turns and starts to get up and Hudson grabs her and throws her overhead with a belly to belly suplex. The crowd ohs. He turns and starts to get up. The crowd roars as Justin Davis slides in the ring, having come down the rampway. He runs at Hudson and clotheslines him down. The crowd roars and cheers. Hudson hits the mat as the crowd boos. Davis dives onto him, nailing him with repeated hard right hands to the head.

 

Sharper: “Davis! Coming from the back. He must’ve arrived just after Hudson did! And he’s going right after him! Davis just in the last couple of weeks turning things up.”

 

Knots: “Frustration is one thing! Get him off!”

 

Sharper: “He’s hammering away at Josh Hudson!”

 

Davis nails Hudson with a couple more shots as Scarlet starts to get up and looks over. She turns to Ruby and Ruby enters. The two then run over and both kick Davis in the chest. Davis rolls over and Scarlet and Ruby run over and both start to stomp away on Justin Davis. The crowd boos as Red Empire start to stomp away on Davis. The bell sounds again, trying to regain order. Hudson rolls over to the ropes and starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Red Empire! They’re going after Davis now!”

 

Knots: “Scarlet is incensed! She wanted to be TV Champion. Davis screwed that up!”

 

Sharper: “And Red Empire working together. Ruby happily joining Scarlet in this assault!”

 

Davis covers up as Red Empire continue with their shots before Josh Hudson gets up and storms over to them and pushes Ruby out of the way and then Scarlet before dropping down and starting to choke Davis in the corner. Davis struggles as Hudson pushes down, Davis struggling. Hudson yells at him as the official calls for the bell again and goes to try and stop Hudson. He motions to the back as a few officials run out from the b. Scarlet tries to get back at Davis, but Ruby stops her and pulls her back. Scarlet keeps yelling at Davis.

 

Scarlet: “You ruined it! I was doing it for Aaron! For Aaron!”

 

Ruby keeps pulling her back as Davis continues to struggle.

 

Sharper: “Scarlet is berating Justin Davis as Josh Hudson is trying to choke the life out of Davis!”

 

Knots: “He shouldn’t have gotten involved. Hudson’s on edge too! Both are just riled up and pissed off!”

 

Officials keep trying to pull Hudson off as Hudson keeps trying to choke Davis as Davis keeps struggling and the scene cuts away.

Backstage, Mr. D turns away from the monitor and sighs as Christy Matthews walks into the room. He turns to her.

 

Mr. D: “Christy…hope you don’t mind how I gave you the match with Ravyn.”

 

Christy: “It’s not exactly what I had in mind, but it’s happening. But I think I have an idea and one I’m sure you’ll go for to make it a bit better for me.”

 

Mr. D: “Which is?”

 

Christy: “Ravyn and I start it. I get the first five minutes alone with her.”

 

Mr. D thinks about it a moment.

 

Mr. D: “I think I can do that.”

 

Christy smiles.

 

Christy: “Thank you.”

 

Mr. D: “Good luck.”

 

Christy nods and turns and starts to head out. Just then, she moves out of the way as Blake Mason steps in.

 

Mr. D: “Blake. Sorry about earlier-”

 

Blake: “Don’t worry about it. Marie deserved to blow off some steam. And even the match with Aaron. Probably best he had the night off. But I have something else to talk about.”

 

Mr. D: “Don’t want to watch the main event?”

 

Blake: “Not really. I’d rather discuss some business.”

 

Mr. D: “Then come in…close the door.”

 

The scene then fades to black.

Breakdown returns as Selena Frost can be seen backstage and Jessica Winters heads over to her.

 

Jessica: “Hey…how are you?”

 

Selena: “Fine…a bit of a quiet night on my end…not others. But-“

 

Jessica: “Saw what you did earlier for Owen and Slayter.”

 

Selena: “And looks like I’ll get to see how good Owen is.”

 

Jessica: “It’s nice…hey, just curious, you saw what Sasha and Katya were talking about last week.”

 

Selena turns to Jessica.

 

Jessica: “Something’s off there.”

 

Selena: “If D says they were legit, I trust that.”

 

Jessica: “But-“

 

Selena: “Look, he’s been straight with me for everything. When he didn’t go into things for himself at Rise to Greatness, called it down the middle. When he apologized for me thinking I may be on the outs, for everything with Vixen Cain and Sienna Swann and Regan Street and Giovanni Aries…he’s been honest with me. That’s all that matters. He says they’re good…they’re good.”

 

Jessica: “Okay…just wanted a second thought.”

 

Selena: “Everyone’s on edge. You should join me. We can watch the main event. This should be fun.”

 

Jessica: “Probably.”

 

Jessica and Selena head off as the scene cuts to the ring.

Jason Helms w/Bree Lancaster vs. Abigail Lindsay w/Dawn Lohan

 

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, with TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening! First, from Los Angeles, California, she is Abigail ‘Serenity’ Lindsay!”

The music then cuts out before we hear "Confident" by Demi Lovato starts to play. The crowd cheers loudly as Abigail glances back and a few moments pass before we see Dawn Lohan walk out from the back, her title around her waist, and look around. She smiles before turning to Abigail and nodding. Abigail then turns and puts her helmet back on before turning and grabbing a second helmet, hooked to the motorcycle and extending it to her sister. Dawn smiles as she walks over and grabs it. The crowd cheers as Dawn’s music continues to play and Dawn gets on the back of Abigail’s motorcycle. Abigail revs the engine and then starts to ride down the rampway and over to the ring. The crowd roars as she drives down, gaining some speed before stopping at the ringside area. She then starts to slowly guide the bike around the ring, driving it around the ringside area.. Dawn hops off and takes off her helmet. She turns and rolls into the ring. She gets up as the crowd cheers. Abigail takes her helmet off before turning and following her sister. Abigail goes to the corner and looks around as Dawn does the same. They hop down as their music fades out. Dawn then moves to the corner.

 

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan joining Abigail Lindsay for this one. Also a sign of some solidarity.”

 

Knots: “This is great. Abigail and Jason have been trolling Bree all week. Bree has to team with Jason. We’re getting ready for the biggest tag match in SCW history!”

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster and Jason Helms will challenge Lohan Country for the titles at Under Attack. Bree is not happy at all.”

 

The lights in the arena cut and the darkness remains for a moment before the intro of “Hated” by Beartooth starts to play over the pa system, the lyrics appearing on the big screen in time with the music.
 
“WHO KNEW YOU’D BE HATED FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE…
AND BE A BIG TARGET FOR ALL THE FOR ALL THE INSECURE…”
 
The crash of drums and the wail of guitars kick the song in properly and as the volume doubles a spotlight appears on the stage to show a smirking Jason Helms standing there with his arms out wide and the fans cheer at the sight of him. He throws his head back as we see Bree Lancaster a few steps behind him, glaring at him. Scott Burnside is with her too. Jason turns and motions to her to enter the spotlight. Bree threatens to hit Jason as Jason just chuckles. Jason then shrugs and motions to Scott. Scott just shakes his head no. Jason shrugs before starting to walk to the ring.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside, from New Orleans, Louisiana, he is Jason Helms!”

 

Bree turns away, shaking her head, at that announcement as she snaps at Scott as Scott tries to talk to her. Jason Helms smirks as Abigail Lindsay happily goes to the ropes and holds the ropes open. Jason, mouth in a goofy smile, slow-jogs to the ropes and hops up. Abigail steps off. She then points to Bree. Abigail waves at Bree as Jason hops into the ring. Bree just looks at Abigail. Abigail keeps on the ropes as Bree just turns and starts to head to the back. Abigail steps off and throws her arms off. Dawn just looks on. Scott stops Bree.

 

Sharper: “Bree trying to leave. I talked to Mr. D before we went on the air and he said that this is what fate decided last week and he expected Bree to be in Jason’s corner.”

 

Knots: “This is great. Bree should be there for her partner!”

 

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay and Jason Helms both having some fun. Clearly getting under the skin of Bree Lancaster.”

 

Bree looks down and turns to the ring, pointing to them. Jason waves again as Abigail continues to sit on the ring ropes. Just then, Jason looks around before having an idea as Dawn just keeps looking on, shaking her head. Jason Helms goes and asks for the microphone from Jason Phillips. Phillips hands Helms the microphone and he turns back.

 

Helms: “Come on Breezy! The bestest tag partner in all the lands! I mean, Dawn, Abigail, I know you’re fine champions, but how do you even measure up to this?!”

 

Helms points to himself and then Bree.

 

Helms: “We’ve got chemistry unparalleled in this business! AND she’s the current US Champion. I know you’re both just quaking in your boots!”

 

Abigail walks over and grabs the microphone. She then starts to quake her boots a bit.

 

Abigail: “He’s not wrong. Look! I’m so scared! We’re going to lose our titles Dawn! And then….then…SCW would have the greatest champions ever!”

 

Dawn chuckles a bit. Abigail stops as Bree just glares at the ring.

 

Abigail: “You know what, Jason. I don’t think I can hazard waiting another eleven days for this match. The number of sleepless nights would be too much.”

 

Abigail pauses and turns away, placing her hand to her heart.

 

Abigail: “In fact, I think if Dawn is alright, I would like to put the SCW World Tag Team Championship on the line tonight and Jason, if you beat me tonight, in singles action, you and Bree can be the World Tag Team Champions.”

 

Jason steps back, shaking his head in fake disbeliefs as Bree’s eyes widen.

 

Jason: “Well, Abs…if that’s what you want to do.”

 

Abigail turns to Dawn, a goofy smile on her face, almost trying to convince Dawn to agree. Bree starts shaking her head.

 

Bree: “Dawn wouldn’t. She has pride…not this…this…WHATEVER this is!”

 

Dawn sighs and undoes her title and hands it to Abigail. Bree’s eyes widen again as the crowd cheers. Jason shrugs.

 

Jason: “Alright. A Gentleman’s and gentlewoman’s agreement. WITH CLASS!”

 

Abigail and Jason then shake hands and Abigail goes to extend the titles to the official. The official initially stops them, but Jason walks to the corner to get Bree’s attention as Abigail talks to the official. The official sighs and then lifts the titles up a bit, as if just shifting the weight. Bree however sees the official holding the titles over his head.

 

Sharper: “Abigail talking to the official.”

 

Knots: “Please tell me this is official. I mean…Bree’s going through all of the emotions. After Fatal Fortunes…we could get history tonight too!”

 

Sharper: “I think Bree thinks it is. She’s yelling at Scott.”

 

Scott tries to calm down Bree. The camera getting close enough to pick up their voice.

 

Bree: “Wait..he’s going for it. The ref is going for it! It’s not a tag match.”

 

Scott: “It can’t be!”

 

Bree: “He lifted the titles! He’s showcasing them.”

 

Abigail backs up as Jason gives Bree a thumbs up. Bree just glares at him. Jason turns back as Abigail stretches out and Dawn hops down and the referee calls for the bell. The bell sounds as Bree looks on intently as the crowd roars. Abigail then steps out from the corner and suddenly throws her arms in the air as she collapses to the mat, tripping on her feet. Jason throws his arms and rushes to Abigail for the pin. Bree slides into the ring as the official counts.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Bree tackles the official down, who is closest. The crowd roars as Bree looks at the official and the official turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Jason rolls off of Abigail and falls to his knees, feigning disappointment as Abigail rolls over, holding her chest, mocking relief. Bree just looks at Jason and Abigail. The referee makes a motion to Phillips.

 

Phillips: “As a result of outside interference, the referee has thrown this match out!”

 

Bree just looks at both Abigail and Jason.

 

Sharper: “Jason and Abigail-“

 

Knots: “Damn! No history!”

 

Sharper: “Bree getting involved. Stopping this match. Didn’t want to become World Tag Team Champions, even if that would’ve been the case. Nothing surprising there, but Jason Helms and Abigail Lindsay having some fun.”

 

Knots: “And Dawn went along too!”

 

Bree just moves back and snaps both. She then rolls out of the ring and storms toward the rampway, looking up.

 

Knots: “And we’ve still got eleven days until Under Attack. Bree’s already let Lohan Country and Jason Helms get under her skin. I love this!”

 

Sharper: “Next week, Bree Lancaster will be in action and against Dawn Lohan. What will happen there? What are Abigail and Jason going to have planned? Will Dawn go along with it?”

 

Knots: “I can’t wait!”

 

Bree just turns to the ring, glaring at Abigail and Jason as Jason now starts to fake cry before looking up to the ceiling, extending his arms and yelling out “WHY!” Abigail turns and rolls to the floor, going to hug Dawn, who just continues to shake her head as Bree turns and storms off. Scott follows her as the scene slowly fades to black…
