“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

 

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

 


 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

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

 

I'm thinking about the old me

'Cause I've been feeling empty

I never used to be so dead inside

 

Shots of Selena Frost celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Konrad Raab, bloodied, standing tall in the ring. Following this is Cid Turner punching CHBK in the concourse. Ace Sky diving off the top rope onto an opponent follows.

 

I think I lost my memory

I can't remember carefree

And all my days turn into fight or flight

 

Holly Adams standing on Asher Hayes at Tactical Warfare follows before we see Syren hitting the Total Makeover on an opponent. The One choking out Beard before we see Polly Playtime diving off the top rope and landing on an opponent with a crossbody.

 

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

 

Holly Adams throwing Syren into the windshield of a pink convertible follows before we see The Happy Farmstead Friends holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Ravyn Taylor standing on the ropes, looking down at herself, follows before we see Gavin Taylor hitting an opponent with the Gavin Taylor Lariat. Glory Braddock hitting the London Plunge on a downed opponents is next before we see Tsunami hitting a running body avalanche on an opponent in the corner.

 

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear

Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear

'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)

Trying to get back to who I used to be

Where is the old me?

 

Autumn Valentine hitting the Blindspot on a foe follows before we see a shot of Owen Lee and Daisy Lee on their way to the ring, and then a shot of Kimberly Williams licking a staple gun. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.

 

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Palacios de los Desportes in Mexico City, Mexico. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

 

Sharper: “From Canada to south of the border. SCW comes to you from Mexico City!”

 

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd. After a few moments, we cut to ringside where Adam Sharper, Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots sit at the announce position.

 

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and Simon Lyman and we’ve got a great show tonight. Headlining tonight, Owen Cruze will be in our main event against one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Hairless Penguin.”

 

Lyman: “And we’ll have tag team action when Selena Frost and Deanna Frost, the House of Frost, face the Playgirls Three!”

 

Knots: “Great. We’ll have witches and bubbling cauldrons! Halloween’s not for a few weeks!”

 

Sharper: “We also will be continuing to hurdle to next week when Gavin Taylor will challenge Xander Valentine for the SCW World Championship. And so much more tonight.”

 

“Duality” by Slipknot blares through the PA system. The cameras show the crowd who begin cheering before zooming in at the entrance way, where Josh Hudson steps out. He wears a sleeveless black hoodie as he slowly makes his way down the ramp.

 

Sharper: “We ended Breakdown, at least in the ring, with Josh Hudson choking out Glory Braddock and leaving her laying. But Glory Braddock made it clear – she has no plan to defend her title against Josh Hudson.”

 

Lyman: “The United Kingdom Championship too. That’s what she’s calling it.”

 

He reaches the bottom of the ramp and he looks out to the crowd before making his way up the ring steps, and climbs into the ring. He then looks around the arena and then walks over to the corner. He motions to Phillips to give him a microphone. Phillips obliges and Hudson takes it, taking off the SCW logo sleeve on it and tossing it aside. He then walks around the ring.

 

Hudson: “Well…did what I do last week count for manipulation or mind games, Glory?”

 

Hudson looks around, running his wrist along his nose before taking a breath.

 

Hudson: “You know that for someone who acted like she was so great in the ring, it’s funny to hear that you’re just a cowardly bitch!”

 

The crowd cheers as Hudson pauses again.

 

Hudson: “Oh wait…there are those mind games again. I’m just screwing with you. To con you into a rematch. You’re too good for that. Frankly, I don’t need to prove anything. I beat you once to win the title. You beat me at Apocalypse. I think we need to have a round three to find out who is better. But you want to run. And you want to run…”

 

Hudson pauses and smirks.

 

Hudson: “By now claiming you’re the United Kingdom Champion.”

 

Hudson shakes her head.

 

Hudson: “Well, how wonderful…a precious little overrated second generation star pulls this stunt, and oh yeah, I served, so a nice little slap in the face. But frankly, Glory, I don’t t know what you were thinking? I mean, yeah, the US of A has its issues, but you want to represent a nation that is represented by a dying institution, where they only matter when the tabloids run rampant…by a country who’s run by a government that is so incompetent, we laugh. A country that has been in free fall for years, and now is on the brink of economic collapse. I mean I know everyone needs a hero, but Glory…if this is the symbol of greatness, I think you’re telling us more about you. And that just like the Good ole’ UK, Glory Braddock’s time as a relevant star in this sport is in free fall too. But don’t worry…you can still run your little company. Do they also let their wrestlers decide to do whatever they want? Is that how you train the next generation? Thanks for letting us know who SCW should stay away from!”

 

The crowd cheers some as Hudson walks around the ring.

 

Hudson: “See Glory, if you want to run, just say it. You’ll only defend against people who win a contendership match. Well, between that and you bitching about Xander Valentine beating you when he had you out…Well, since you want to complain that wasn’t good enough, I’ll teach you a wrestling lesson to make MY point. And my point is that you’re going to give me my rematch or Cruze is going to give me that rematch or I’m going to make sure that any time you step into this ring, you only leave it unconscious by my hands!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh boy!”

 

Hudson: “Last week…I showed you I could do it. And I’ll do it again. And maybe you’ll realize that you were lucky that the official stopped Xander Valentine from doing more. The difference now…since you won’t face me, maybe I won’t stop. And maybe it won’t matter if you’ll only defend your title against people you believe have earned it. Even if Cruze decides to roll over to you. Because maybe you’ll just not cleared to ever compete again. And just like the British Empire, you, Glory, will just be gone.”

 

The crowd roars. Just then, we see Glory Braddock appear on the big screen. Her United Kingdom Championship is over her shoulder. Braddock is also wearing a British flag inspired shirt and sunglasses as she looks at the camera. The crowd boos. Hudson turns and looks at the big screen, shaking his head in disbelief.

 

Braddock: “Well that’s all nice, Josh. But your thuggish tactics aren’t going to get you anything. The only way you could get me down is by coming from behind and attacking me from behind, after I had a match by the way!”

 

Hudson: “A match you lost. A match you were outsmarted in!”

 

Braddock: “I was not! Kim got lucky.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Braddock: “While you’re not lucky. Because frankly, why should people believe you get random rematches automatically? You beat me. Took a few shortcuts on the way. And I had to earn my shot against you. I had to push a few people out of my way that never should’ve been in my way to it, but I did. And now Josh…you want this. You need to jump through those hoops. Beat a few people. Earn a title shot. Don’t rest on your laurels. Or are you too cowardly to do that?”

 

Hudson: “I just don’t bother with the BS, Glory. But fine…keep ducking me-“

 

Braddock: “I’m doing nothing of the sort.”

 

Braddock cuts off Hudson.

 

Braddock: “I’m just holding this title to a higher standard. And you don’t like it. You know my rules.”

 

Hudson: “Too bad I don’t give a damn…Come to this ring and convince me otherwise!”

 

Braddock smirks as the crowd cheers.

 

Braddock: “You want me in the ring…earn it!”

 

Braddock then waves at the camera.

 

Braddock: “Ta!”

 

Braddock smirks as she turns and walks off camera. Hudson just watches the screen as “Immortal” by Ozzy Osbourne plays in the background. Hudson turns and throws the microphone toward Phillips. Phillips barely catches it as Hudson then drops down to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Braddock stubborn and Hudson making clear his threats.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but what’s missing? Shaun Cruze makes the decisions. And they can play these games but…“

 

Lyman: “The question is how far is Glory willing to go to avoid this match? To make Hudson earn it.”

 

The scene switches backstage as we see Nicole Kinneck, clearly with Ducky in the driver’s seat, skipping down the hallway. The camera follows her as she continues to skip down the hallway before stopping and then looking around and running over to a door. She runs over and pulls something off of her shorts, a piece of tape, and places a piece of drawn on construction paper on the door. She smiles before smiling and walking off, skipping. The camera focuses in on the paper.

 

Sharper: “What the…”

 

The paper is written in crayon, with pictures of ducks, unicorns, and gummy worms.

 

“SUPER AWESOME BIRTHDAY PARTY! ONEZIES ONLY! TITLE SHOT! DUCKY RULZ!”

 

Lyman: “Another one of those invitations…”

 

Sharper: “No date…and title shot?”

 

Knots: “It has to be related to her Trios shot!”

 

Sharper: “Well I guess she just invited the janitor. That’s not even a locker room!”

 

The invitation remains on the screen as the scene fades to commercial.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

The One vs. Konrad Raab

SCW Television Championship

 

The arena goes dark, and slowly smoke begins to rise from the entry way.  "Battle Cry" by Little V begins to play over the PA system...

I hear the Battle Cry

Under the Devil's Sky
The One Winged Angel Screams
It fuels my Hopes and Dreams
The Best Bout Machine

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

With the stinger of the song hitting, an explosion and pyrotechnics hit, cuing the spotlights to hit, and standing in the entry way is The One with her back turned to the audience, head down, and her right hand up in the air with the number one in the air.  She turns at the waist, looking directly at the ring, and slowly lowers her hand, finger still extended, to point to her destination.  She fully turns and begins her walk to the ring, quickly, but methodically, occasionally slowly down to look around, not necessarily trusting anyone around her to not come rush her and attack her.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, the challenger, from Your Worst Personal Nightmare, she is The One!”

As she reaches the ring, she again looks over both shoulders, taking glimpses of the fans, and assuring her safety before entering.  She makes a full lap of the ring, walking, and staring at everyone at ringside, and occasionally looking toward the upper decks.  As she feels the situation is comfortable and safe, she walks to the corner facing the ramp, extending both hands and pointing with one finger toward the entryway, and then turning both palms up and making the motion with both hands to "bring it."  She then slumps into the corner, sitting on the mat, and awaiting her opponent to enter the ring.

 

Sharper: “The One waiting for her opportunity. The TV Title about to be decided here in this one. The One and Konrad Raab though known for their brutality.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. This is going to be something a bit different from what we’ve seen. The Brand brought a civility to things. Raab, nothing like it. It’s a shame!”

 

“Violence Fetish” by Disturbed plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain with his flanged German mace with him, acting erratic with an angry look on his face, rising the flanged German mace in the air, wearing red and black face paint on the right side of his face with a red and black suit hoodie over his head he wears with pieces of ice blood designed all over them. The SCW Television Championship is around his waist. He also has a penguin, walrus and a polar bear stitching on the left-hand side of his chest on his gear, stating Stop Climate Change. He also wears black boots along with Red and Black Gloves on his hands before he crouches down on the floor with the flanged German mace in front of him, looking at the ring with evil intentions.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Cologne, Germany, the SCW Television Champion, he is The Ice Blood, Konrad Raab!”

After the announcement, Konrad picks up his flanged German mace and slowly walks to the ring with a massive amount of boos before Konrad runs up the steps and goes underneath the ropes. As he's in the ring, Konrad without showing any sign of acknowledgement from the fans, lays the flanged German mace on the turnbuckle, then sits in the corner of the ring with the crowd booing him, having a nasty look in his eyes, flicking his fists as if he's already ready to fight, with ring staff taking Konrad's flanged German mace away, waiting for the match to start as he takes his hoodie off from his head. He throws the TV Title down to the middle of the ring. The official takes it and holds it over his head. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and into the bottom corner. The official hands off the title. But just as he does, Raab walks over and grabs Phillips from through the ropes. He pulls him in and demands the microphone.

 

Sharper: “What is this? Raab grabbing a microphone. Get your hands off Jason Phillips!”

 

Knots: “Or rough him up a bit. Make sure he does a good job tonight!”

 

Raab pulls the microphone away from Phillips before stepping up.

 

Raab: “Before we get started…I think we need to spice this up. See, I don’t have much care for defending that title with the boring old rules. I want something different. And so One, since you wanted to have a war in the Underground. Let’s just cut the crap here and make this no holds barred and see if you can handle me!”

 

The crowd roars as Raab looks at The One. She just smirks and slowly nods. Raab points to her.

 

Sharper: “Raab is demanding this to be under underground rules.”

 

Knots: “Oh good. More people doing what they want.”

 

Lyman: “The official not exactly thrilled.”

 

Raab: “There you have it. Make it!”

 

Raab shoves the microphone into the chest of the official, Steve Hollinsworth. Hollinsworth shakes his head no and then tries to explain it to Raab. Raab shrugs and pulls Hollinsworth in and nails him with a European uppercut. The crowd ohs. Raab then turns as The One runs across and nails Raab with a hard right and then another and another. The crowd roars some more.

 

Sharper: “Raab just clocked the official. No bell has gone!”

 

Lyman: “Well it’s going to be chaos now. Until we get some order!”

 

The One knocks Raab back into the corner and nails him with a couple of hard right hands before kicking him in the ribs over and over and over again. She then steps back and moves to the middle of the ring. She turns and runs back at Raab. Raab, however, starts to get up and The One drops down and slides through to the floor, under the bottom rope. Raab gets up and The One grabs him by the legs and pulls him down. She then steps back and pulls him crotch first into the ringpost. The crowd ohs as Raab grimaces in pain. The One then walks around the ring. She looks underneath as the crowd roars. The One reaches underneath and pulls out a couple of steel chairs. She then throws one in the ring and then the other as Raab starts to pull himself up. The One rolls in after and gets up and grabs Raab, but Raab drills her with a European uppercut. The One falls back and rolls over. She gets back up and Raab steps up and nails her with another vicious European uppercut. The One stirs as Raab then grabs one of the chairs. The One gets up and bends over only for Raab to slam the chair into her back. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “The chair to the spine of The One!”

 

Lyman: “Well whether there is official start or not, these two are competing.”

 

Knots: “More like fighting. The One clearly had designs on the Underground Title and Raab still loves blood.”

 

The One rolls over before Raab places the chair on The One’s face and then just steps on it, grinding the bottom of the seat into The One. He keeps pressing down before stepping off and stomping her in the face. The One rolls over. Raab then exits and steps through to the floor. He then walks around to his German mace. He smiles as he grabs it. He then turns and rolls into the ring. The One looks up as Raab gets up and swings the mace at her head. She ducks and dodges. Raab swings through. He turns and spins around and goes to swing again. The One ducks it again. She then grabs one of the chairs and lifts it up before turning and throwing it at Raab’s face. Raab falls back into the corner. The mace falls to the mat. Shaun Cruze walks down to the ring with a new official, Michael Constantine. He also has a crew member with him, pointing at the mace. A couple of other officials head over to check and help Hollinsworth. The One grabs the chair again and then runs over and jumps up and hits a dropkick, driving the chair into the face of Raab. The crowd ohs and cheers.

 

Sharper: “The One just avoided getting taken out by Raab! That damn mace.”

 

Lyman: “And looks like Cruze is going to get rid of it.”

 

Knots: “Is he going to get back some order?”

 

Sharper: “He may have a few plans here.”

 

The One rolls back as she looks at Constantine. The crew member grabs Raab’s mace. He lifts it up, struggling a bit. Cruze then points to the back. The crew member takes the mace away from ringside as Cruze turns back to the ring. The One looks at him before Cruze tells Constantine to start the match. Constantine enters the ring. Cruze walks around the ring. He goes over to Phillips. The One watches him, taking her eyes off Raab.

 

Phillips: “Fans, by order of the SCW Commissioner, this match will now be contested under Underground Rules!”

 

The crowd roars. The bell sounds. The One turns around, but Raab runs out and nails her with a clothesline. He then walks around the ring before turning and noticing his mace is gone.

 

Sharper: “Cruze, I guess, deciding to just make it official.”

 

Knots: “They’ve already tried to take each other out with weapons. Why not?”

 

Lyman: “Raab’s noticed though that the mace is gone!”

 

Raab then turns and sees the crew member leaving to the back. Raab turns and goes over to the ropes, snapping at Cruze. Cruze tells him to focus on the match as Raab then swings at him. The crowd roars. Cruze jukes back and Raab again swings.

 

Sharper: “Raab has lost it!”

 

Lyman: “That mace is something he cares deeply about. It’s his new tool of devastation!”

 

The One then runs at Raab and uses the top rope to slingshot over, landing on Raab’s head and upper back. Cruze moves out of the way as the two drop down hard to the floor. The crowd ohs and cheers.

 

Sharper: “Good lord! The One just using herself as a weapon, landing on Raab.”

 

Knots: “Raab almost landed on his head!”

 

The One turns and moves to the ring. She looks underneath before pulling out a table. The crowd roars as The One lifts it up and unfolds the legs before placing it down on the floor next to Raab. The One walks over as Raab stirs. Cruze heads to the back. The One nails Raab with a hard right and then another before then spinning him around and hooking him up. She goes to lift Raab up, but Raab nails her in the ribs once and then again before spinning around The One and into a waistlock before throwing The One back with a German suplex through the set up table. The crowd ohs. The One rolls through to her back. Raab winces and turns over.

 

Sharper: “Raab muscling her up and driving The One through that table she just set up.”

 

Knots: “And head first!”

 

The One rolls over as Raab gets up and grabs the table. He steps on one half and pulls the other part, splintering some of the wood. The One stirs as Raab then turns and drives the end of the table into the head of The One. She rolls over. Raab then steps up and drives the broken edge into the head of The One. He smiles as he does, enjoying the pain he’s producing. The One yells out as Raab keeps grinding it in and then runs it across. The One rolls over. Raab then steps forward, ripping the table legs off from the broken table. The One turns, bleeding from the forehead. She starts to get up and Raab nails her in the shoulder with the table legs and then again before he grabs the table legs and pushes them against The One’s throat and pushes her against the ringpost.

 

Sharper: “Raab just choking The One!”

 

Lyman: “If The One passes out, that would be it!”

 

Sharper: “The One struggling but look at Raab. His eyes turning to the entrance way.”

 

Raab keeps choking The One. The One keeps struggling, reaching up and going for Raab’s eyes. She then digs into them. He pulls away, yelling in pain. He then spins around, annoyed and runs at The One and swings. The One ducks and Raab nails the ringpost with his arm. He winces and turns around and The One drop toe holds him into the half of the broken table. Raab pops up and starts to get up as The One climbs onto the apron. Raab reaches up and grabs her by the leg and then nails her in the ribs. Raab climbs up to the apron and headbutts her. The One staggers as Raab headbutts her again. He then grabs her, but The One fights him off and steps back before hitting a straight kick to the ribs. Raab winces and The One bends him over, double underhooking him before hoisting him up. The crowd roars before she hits the Hidden Blade on the ring apron. The crowd ohs as both fall to the floor.

 

Sharper: “The One just muscled Raab up and on the apron!”

 

Lyman: “Hidden Blade and it led to both landing on the apron before collapsing to the floor!”

 

Raab holds his head and neck as The One looks around. She then slowly starts to pull herself up and staggers around. The crowd roars as they see her up on her feet. Raab rolls over as The One looks at him. She then smiles before backing up and running at Raab and then spearing him back and into the ringpost. The crowd ohs and Raab rolls over. The One then starts to get up. Raab stirs still.

 

Knots: “The One dropped him on the apron. Now the ringpost. And he’s getting up!”

 

Sharper: “Raab wanted this underground rules and clearly he’s motivated to fight. The One needing to get creative-“

 

Knots: “Hey! That’s mine!”

 

The One grabs one of the laptops on the English announce table. She folds it up and Raab starts to get up only for The One to swing and drill him in the head with it. The laptop shatters as Raab hits the mats. The One then goes for the pin. Constantine counts.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars. The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW Television Champion, The One!”

 

The crowd cheers as The One gets up and looks around. Constantine takes the SCW Television Championship from the timekeeper’s table and The One takes it from him. She then holds it over her head.

 

Knots: “That was my laptop!”

 

Sharper: “And it just helped The One win this brawl for the SCW Television Championship!”

 

Knots: “Hey! I want nothing to do with this!”

 

Lyman: “Raab lost his title. Lost his mace. And he’s not going to be happy when he recovers after that shot.”

 

The One looks around and then looks down at Raab before stepping up into the ring. The One continues to hold the title over her head as her music plays. She looks around the arena as the crowd cheers her and the scene cuts away.

 

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage to Jessica Winters. Jessica?”

 

The scene opens up backstage where Kimberly Williams is sitting on the bench in the locker room. Jessica Winters is also backstage with Angelica Jones. Kim can be seen trying to not move.

 

Winters: “Thank you Adam. I’m here with Angelica Jones, the representative of Kimberly Williams-“

 

Williams: “I’m being good!”

 

Winters: “Uh…excuse me?”

 

Williams: “I’m being good! I didn’t come out and decide to maim The One while giving Oktoberfest a new wound!”

 

Jones: “She was good.”

 

Williams: “See! I was good! And I outsmarted Glory!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Winters: “That’s actually why I’m here. I know you’ve said that the Underground Championship is what you care most about. But you did beat Glory. Thoughts about a US title shot?”

 

Angelica Jones goes to speak, but Kim chirps up.

 

Williams: “The Underground States Championship? I thought she was calling it the Underground Kingdom Championship? Can we get Underground in the World Title…the Unworldground…nah, that doesn’t work-“

 

Jones: “While Kim would not necessarily turn down an opportunity to hold a title she’s held before, and she is curious how her cousin’s mind works here, she is the proud Underground Champion and wants competition.”

 

Williams: “Hence why I was good! I didn’t come out and stab Oktoberfest or carve up Number Two! But I’ll take the opportunity. And with Deanna too…shame that she lost as she did. I mean happy I’m still champion, but she at least stood for something.”

 

Winters: “What about Sarah Wolf?”

 

Williams: “Oh Wolfie? She had her chance at revenge. I’ve moved on. That’s the past. I mean she may be across from me. And I’ll maim her too. Haven’t given someone a good stapling in a while. Ooooo! Maybe I can do that. Whatever…Shaun Cruiserweight! Do your worst? Because see…I’m being good!”

 

Williams grabs onto the bench and holds on before very obviously winking at the camera.

 

Winters: “That you are. Breakdown will be back after this.”

 

The scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as Konrad Raab walks aggressively through the backstage area, shouting.

 

Raab: “Cruze! Where are you Cruze?! Where is my damn mace?!”

 

Raab continues to storm down the hallway before walking over to a crewmember.

 

Raab: “You!...Oh damn it!”

 

Raab grabs the crewmember, presumably mistaking them for the one who grabbed the ace, only to throw them to the ground. Raab starts to walk over to the camera person.

 

Raab: “Where’s his office?”

 

The cameraman can be heard telling him.

 

Cameraman: “Just over there.”

 

Raab turns and shoves the cameraman down as he walks over to the office.

 

Raab: “CRUZE!”

 

Shaun Cruze then opens the office and steps out.

 

Raab: “Where the hell is my mace?”

 

Raab walks over and grabs Cruze. Cruze breaks the hold and Raab glares at him.

 

Cruze: “First off, touch me again and it’ll be the least of your worries. Secondly, I don’t have it. It’s at security. Where a weapon like that should be.”

 

Raab: “Well it’s mine…and I’m getting it back and I will do what I want with it!”

 

Raab turns and storms off as Cruze watches him go before grabbing a walkie-talkie on his belt. He brings it up to his mouth.

 

Cruze: “Security….Raab’s on his way to you. Be prepared.”

 

Calvan Greene vs. Holly Adams

 

“Die Another Day” by Dance Gavin Dance begins to play throughout the arena to a small pop from the audience as his name pops up on the screen. Calvan runs out from the back before stopping at the stage. He raises his arms up and nods emphatically with the crowd happy with the acknowledgement. Slamming one arm down he runs down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, making his way to the ring, from Orange County, California, Calvan Greene!”

Reaching the bottom of the ramp, he slides in under the bottom rope before running past Phillips while giving him two thumbs up. He jumps up onto the turnbuckle before removing his shades and throwing them into the crowd. Removing his classic fur coat in a rather provocative manner he proceeds to toss at ringside where it completely covers up one of the Spanish announcers. He points out at the crowd and winks before jumping down and leaning into the turnbuckle in anticipation.

 

Sharper: “Calvan Greene may be working with Jenni Anderson, but we don’t know that for sure. They just talked last week, but Greene will face someone he’s got some history with.”

 

Lyman: “More Lenne Perez, right, but still. Holly Adams and Lenne Perez used to be close.”

 

Knots: “They damn sure know of each other. That’s for sure!”

 

Yes Bitch

Yes Bitch

Yes Bitch

SLAY

 

IT'S EXPENSIVE TO BE ME-EH-EH-EH!!

LOOKIN' THIS GOOD DON'T COME FOR FREE-EH-EH-EH!!!

 

The intro from "W Face," by Kumi Koda quickly fades out as "XXPENSIVE," By Erika Jayne kicks in full force around the arena as the stage comes into focus. A few moments pass before we cut to the big screen as we see the Holly Adams Brand logo flash a different colour. We then see it flash away as we see Holly Adams lounging on a pool chaise, in a bikini top and designer sunglasses. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “What the…Holly is on the screen.”

 

Knots: “Oh! I heard about this!”

 

Sharper: “What are you talking about?”

 

Knots: “Shhh! Just listen!”

 

Holly turns and looks at the camera, bringing her sunglasses down briefly before resetting them.

 

Holly: “Oh, I assume you’re wondering what this is. Well, you see, it’s offseason here. We’ve been going really hard trying to develop the newest and greatest options here at the Holly Adams Brand and well, sometimes you need to reset. It’s a lesson we teach everyone. And frankly, it’s why some people never can see success. They never let themselves be themselves. To relax. And well, that’s why I’m here.”

 

Holly smiles.

 

Holly: “Don’t worry though. The Holly Adams Brand wouldn’t leave you on a lurch. We’re not like Datura where we give up when things get hard! We’re instead opening up our offices and starting a waiting list. When my off season from SCW and life coaching ends, we’ll get back in touch and offer you the best prices we can on the best life coaching, trademarked, you can buy.”

 

Holly pauses before stopping and taking a sip of her water. We cut to the ring to see Calvan Greene confused. Back on the big screen, Holly puts the glass down.

 

Holly: “Now it seems there was a mix up…Calvan, buddy…you keep fighting the good fight or whatever you need to hear to get you up in the morning. Get some money from the Jenni person. She apparently needs to pay for everything…maybe she’d want to get some Life Coaching!”

 

Holly then waves her hand.

 

Holly: “Sorry, I’m supposed to be off. Just remember everyone, be like me, not like Datura, and you can keep up with all of the latest news from Holly Adams Brand, trademarked, on Instagram and Google Plus.”

 

Holly winks, although the sunglasses largely cover it, before the Holly Adams Brand logo comes up on the screen. The crowd boos as we cut to the ring. Calvan Greene looks around before turning to the official.

 

Sharper: “Are you kidding me? Off season?”

 

Lyman: “Of course. Last week, the Brand gets another set back and it doesn’t matter. Now she’s off?”

 

Knots: “Hey! She needs to recharge! It’s hard work when people don’t understand or appreciate what you do!”

 

Sharper: “Well right now, Calvan Greene is trying to appreciate this situation.”

 

Calvan continues to looks confused as the official tells him there’s no match. Calvan points to him before holding his hands up to fight. The official, Michael Constantine, stops him and Calvan then stops and points at him. Calvan then walks around the ring and points at Constantine before looking at the crowd. The crowd responds with cheers. Calvan nods and turns.

 

Sharper: “Does he think he’s facing Michael Constantine? The official?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know if he’s thinking.”

 

Calvan then turns back and holds his hands up as we see Jenni Anderson heading down to the ring. The crowd boos some more. Calvan Greene then grabs Constantine by the collar. The crowd roars as we then see Jenni grab the middle rope and pulls herself on the apron. She calls out to Calvan as Calvan stops and turns to Jenni. He then stops and looks at her and then shrugs and heads over. He smirks and leans on the top rope, clearly moving into flirting with her.

 

Anderson: “Come with me, Calvan! There’s no match!”

 

Greene: “Well, you move quick-“

 

Anderson: “We talked last week!”

 

Greene: “Oh…yeah…cool.”

 

Greene nods and steps through the ropes. He drops down to the floor. The crowd boos as Jenni turns to him and then rolls her eyes before extending her hand to him. Calvan shrugs.

 

Greene: “Whatever works.”

 

Greene smirks as he walks to the back with Jenni. Jenni looks down briefly as Calvan starts to strut a bit, feeling he’s sealed some sort of deal. Jenni turns to him and fake smiles as they head to the back.

 

Lyman: “Jenni Anderson continuing to manipulate Calvan.”

 

Knots: “I think she may have realized the flaw in that plan.”

 

Sharper: “Calvan seems to not fully be there, but so be it. Jenni Anderson getting him away from the ring as it seems Holly Adams won’t be here tonight.”

 

Knots: “Off season!”

 

Sharper: “Give me a break…”

 

Calvan Greene and Jenni Anderson continue to head to the back as Michael Constantine looks relieved in the ring as we cut away.

Konrad Raab walks through the backstage area, clearly on a mission. He has in his hand a crew member.

 

Raab: “Where?”

 

The crewmember points. Raab turns and shoves him down before walking over to a table and a security checkpoint.

 

Security Guard: “Hey! You can’t just go in!”

 

Raab however ignores the guard and grabs the door and opens it. He steps inside and then stops.

 

Raab: “Put that down!”

 

The camera moves around to reveal James Evans in the room, holding Raab’s mace. The guard outside is also taken aback.

 

Security Guard: “What are you doing in there?”

 

Evans: “Hmmm…wanted to see this up close.”

 

Raab: “Give it to me.”

 

Evans: “Why? You just want to hurt people. I know how that feels.”

 

Raab: “Now I want to hurt you!”

 

Raab steps up and Evans holds the mace up. Raab hesitates.

 

Evans: “You know how devastating it is.”

 

Raab just looks at it.

 

Raab: “Drop it and I don’t destroy you in this room, spilling your blood everywhere.”

 

Evans: “I’d love to see you try!”

 

Raab then lunges. The guard enters as Evans gets the mace up and catches Konrad in the head with the butt of the mace. Raab staggers over to the back. Evans turns and holds the mace up as the guard wraps his arms around him and tries to get Evans back. Evans looks at Konrad and smirks before dropping the mace. The mace drops as Evans is forced back. The guard steps up. Konrad turns and nails the guard from behind. The guard goes down and Evans catches him. He then throws him back as Raab steps forward and nails Evans with a hard right.

 

Sharper: “Evans and Raab fighting in the security checkpoint.”

 

Knots: “Didn’t Cruze warn them?”

 

Lyman: “You’re right!”

 

Evans nails Raab with a shot. Raab nails Evans and he staggers back. Raab turns back and grabs the mace and turns and goes to use it, only for Evans to kick him in the ribs before grabbing him and throwing him down. Evans dives onto him and nails him with a couple of shots before other security guards arrive on the scene and grab him and pull him off. Raab kicks at Evans and Raab is brought up to his feet. Security also grabs Raab and pull him off. They quickly restrain him as Evans looks at him. The security guards then start to pull Raab out, forcing him out of the building. Evans calms down and watches as the crowd roars.

 

The scene cuts to the SCW interview area. Jaina Lancaster stands ready with a microphone in her hand.

 

Jaina: “As security tries to deal with that situation which has led to some new questions, I’m joined at this time by the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Datura!”

 

The crowd cheers as Datura comes into view. She looks around, savouring the moment, before turning to Jaina.

 

Jaina: “Well Datura, we were going to talk about Holly Adams here and how she seemed to have some grand plan to undermine your Adrenaline Championship, but it looks like she’s on her off-season, but not only that, we’re hearing that Shaun Cruze won’t be offering another opportunity for Clamidiya to get a title shot. That was her title shot as far as he’s concerned.”

 

Datura: “It’s amazing after all she said of me, that was I was a loser, unable to win. That I could not rise to the occasion. It was something deep inside of me…that it’s the Brand that now, outside of that ridiculous video, may have no place in SCW anymore. The Brand may be rebranding for all we know. And it’s not lost on me that this comes after Apocalypse where Clamidiya used everything Holly tried to get me to do to win against Bree and Alexis, and yet, just like Holly, she fell short against Owen. And right now, sure, I didn’t win at Apocalypse. I lost by walking out on Holly in the record books, but in life, I haven’t had a win that mattered that much in a long time.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Datura: “See, Jaina, I owe a thanks to your aunt, to Alexis, to people who actually cared about me. One’s who didn’t give up on me to make the right choice. I thought I owed something to Cid. And frankly, I should’ve listened to him too. He even warned me before Rise to Greatness to move on. But I couldn’t move on. GiGi said enough that made sense. And the Brand, as ridiculous as it seems with the house of cards coming down, they had success. Now I’m the success.”

 

Datura stops and looks at the Adrenaline Championship on her shoulder.

 

Datura: “I’m the Adrenaline Champion. I’m holding wrestling gold!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Datura: “And I also know I used to be one of the most feared people in that ring for what I could do. I’m a shadow of that person, but it doesn’t mean I won’t rise to this occasion. I may have a weakened knee that will never be one hundred percent. I may be still a bit lost, but I will fight. Fight for this and defend this title. So…while some champions here want to make people jump through hoops and are afraid to lose their title, I’m standing here looking for myself and I know I will find it in that ring one way or another. So SCW…”

 

Datura pauses and then looks off camera. Datura smirks.

 

Datura: “Do your worst. Because I’m done wallowing in mine!”

 

Datura looks at the camera. The camera pans out as Bree Lancaster comes into the scene. She then places her hand on the back of Datura.

 

Bree: “Now that’s the Liz I knew was under there.”

 

Datura smiles. Datura and Bree then walk off camera together.

 

The scene changes to show Selena Frost and Deanna Frost talking about their match tonight.

 

Deanna: “Well we’ll have to be on the lookout for Polly. She wasn’t out there at Apocalypse but…”

 

Selena: “Given her demand for spotlight…”

 

Deanna: “This is one reason I’m being careful. You’re out there. We’re teaming for the first time in months…”

 

Selena: “We’ll be ready.”

 

A knock is then heard at the door. Deanna stops Selena and goes herself. She heads over and opens the door. She turns one way and then the other.

 

Selena: “What’s that?”

 

Deanna turns and then sees a piece of construction paper barely hanging on the door. She holds it up.

 

Deanna: “It’s an invitation!”

 

Selena: “To what?”

 

Deanna: “A party, for a title shot…on October 27!”

 

Deanna hands it to Selena. Selena just smiles. We then see her looking at it as the camera now gets a good shot, revealing it to clearly be another Ducky special. We also see a “Thank you” written in the top in “lellow” crayon.

 

Selena: “Well, I’ll have to look to attend.”

 

Selena smiles as the scene fades to commercial.

Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO in action

 

The arena darkens before:

Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan

The Nyan cat appears on the screen, with the crowd popping. The cat in a poptart, farting rainbows steers around and breaks right into the screen, showing a window crack before breaking. At that moment, “Catch Me If You Can” by BABYMETAL’s opening riffs plays, and the girls' voice count:

One-Two
One-Two-Three-Four!

Out pops YUYO from behind the curtains. Bright white light now shines down on the stage, following YUYO. Mister Meowkazawa and Beezlebubble follow her to stand behind her. She stands at the top of the ramp and places her hands on her hips. Meowkazawa hands her the magical staff, Gríðarvölr. She spins the staff around with a display of talent, the long purple and white ribbons attached to the staff’s end flash. When she stops, she thrusts one hand forward while holding the staff behind her back.

YUYO: “HA!”

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, descending from the sea of stars above, weighing at 110 pounds, the Guardian of Love, Justice and Peace— Magical Cosmic Princess, YUYO!”

YUYO springs down the ramp, staff in hand, she tosses it into the ring as she slides in under the bottom rope. She pops to her feet, picks up the staff again in a single stride, and then straight to the corner. She holds the staff like a gun and aims towards the ceiling, “BANG! BANG!”. Mr. Meowkazawa catches up to her, taking the staff while she remains in the corner. She points to the sky, “FOREVER!”. She runs to the next corner and repeats, “FOREVER!”. She hops off the corner with a superhero landing! She then puts on a “mean” face as she readies for the match. 

 

Sharper: “Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO is in SCW.”

 

Knots: “Oh God. Ikiro Yoshida’s cousin?”

 

Sharper: “No, niece and she’s an interesting one.”

 

YUYO starts to point across the ring.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from El Paso, Texas, she is Little Estrella!”

 

The crowd looks on as YUYO shakes her finger.

 

YUYO: “Don’t you think about it! Don’t you think about it! I only princess here!”

 

YUYO starts to berate Estrella as she looks around.

 

Sharper: “Little Estrella, a half-Mexican, half-Texan luchador here. Has both roots reflected in her name.”

 

Lyman: “Right now, she’s getting a headache. I don’t know what YUYO is on. Something about being a princess.”

 

Knots: “Magical COSMIC Princess, Lyman!”

 

YUYO is backed up as Estrella looks across. The bell sounds. The two circle the ring. They lock up and YUYO and Estrella push back on one another. YUYO turns and locks in an arm wrench. Estrella winces and YUYO wrenches the arm again. Estrella then flips forward and then nips up before wrenching YUYO’s arm. YUYO yells out in pain as Estrella leans on it. YUYO then looks up and smacks at Estrella’s hands before then flipping forward, nipping up just like Estrella but then hitting a cartwheel before dropkicking Estrella in the face. YUYO jumps up as Estrella rolls to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “YUYO is known for her over the top antics and her showwomanship.”

 

Lyman: “And right now, she’s also showing that she can trade holds and that’s a good sign for her, bad for Estrella.”

 

Estrella gets up and YUYO steps up and forearms her in the jaw before hitting a drop toe hold. She moves into an arm drag. She holds on as Estrella starts to get up. YUYO jerks on the arm. Estrella winces and then looks forward and runs at the ropes. She jumps to the middle rope and backflips back and hits an arm drag. YUYO rolls through. Both get up and Estrella runs up and shoulders YUYO back. Estrella turns and runs at the ropes and then jumps up, but YUYO ducks and grabs her arm. She then runs up the corner and then starts to sing. The crowd yells out more in support before YUYO stops and turns and jumps back hitting the YUYO Funtime Song and Dance. The crowd ohs. She stays on top for the pin.

Estrella just kicks out. YUYO falls forward and looks around. She then starts to get up as Estrella rolls over.

 

Knots: “What the hell was that?”

 

Sharper: “Her uncle loved karaoke. Guess she’s a singer too.”

 

Knots: “She nearly took out Estrella. Just drilled her with by throwing herself at her.”

 

YUYO walks over to Estrella and grabs her. She then clubs her repeatedly in the back. Estrella shoves her back. YUYO steps up and Estrella steps up and hits a back elbow. YUYO staggers and Estrella jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a moonsault, but YUYO cartwheels out of the way. She then turns and points at Estrella. Estrella hits the mat chest first and looks up as YUYO grabs her and throws her into the corner. Estrella turns around and YUYO runs at the corner and jumps up before kissing Estrella on the forehead before jumping up with the Kiss of Justice.

 

YUYO: “Justice!”

 

Estrella staggers out and falls to the mat. YUYO steps up and sees her. She then looks around, wide eyed as the crowd roars. YUYO smiles before moonwalking to the corner. She then stops her foot.

 

M!

A!

G!

I!

C!

YUYO waves her hands up and over her head before running out as Estrella slowly gets up. YUYO nails her with the Magical Knee! The crowd roars. YUYO turns and hooks the leg.

 

Sharper: “Shades of her uncle, Ikiro! Magical Knee!”

 

Knots: “She got all of that! Estrella is out!”

The crowd roars as the bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO!”

 

YUYO rolls off and throws her arms up. She then turns and points at Little Estrella.

 

YUYO: “I told you!”

 

YUYO turns and then smiles as her arm is raised.

 

Sharper: “YUYO successful here. Still berating Estrella, but she’s a winner.”

 

Lyman: “Leave it alone, YUYO. At least for now. You can celebrate!”

 

Knots: “That may lead to more bad singing, justice, and whatever else she’s about!”

 

YUYO looks around and then rolls to the floor. She reaches out, high-fiving all of the fans hands before running around the ring at full speed to continue the high-fiving before the scene cuts away.

Selena Frost & Deanna Frost vs. The Playgirls Three

 

“BELIEVE IT!”

The sound of two women shouting the familiar phrase causes the fans to cheer loudly as “Ignite” by Alan Walker and K-391 plays throughout the arena as ‘snow’ falls along the LED screens. From out the back walks Selena and Deanna Frost. As Selena stands on the center part of the ramp, she watches as Deanna runs to the far left, the redhead screaming her excitement to the fans before running to the far right to do the same, a stream of bright red and orange ‘leaves’ following the redhead on the LED screens below and behind them.

As Deanna reaches Selena, the Snow Queen turns to her side, raising her arm towards the ring and her back arm towards the sky. With a smile, Deanna stands back to back with Selena, raising and lowering her own arm to match Selena’s towards the ring, the ‘leaves’ circling around them. At the same time, the Frost wives each stomp their front foot, sending a ‘crack’ along the ‘ice’ to race down the ramp, the ‘leaves’ following it to circle around the ring LED screens!

Phillips: Making their way to the ring, from Manhattan, New York, they are ‘The Queen’s Guard’, Deanna Frost and ‘The Snow Queen’, Selena Frost. Ladies and Gentlemen, they are – The House of Frost!

Making their way down the ramp, their steps leaving ‘footprints’ in the ‘snow’, Deanna rushes ahead to high-five members of the SCW Universe. Reaching the ring first, Deanna slides in and jumps to the ropes, leaning over them with her arm raised. She repeats this on the other side of the ring as Selena makes her way up the stairs and into the ring. 

Reaching the center, Selena lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more as Deanna drops to her knees and spins around to stop right in front of Selena, facing the audience as Selena does and posing with her arms outstretched and a smile on her face as the ‘leaves’ also encircle the two women over the snowflake. With a slam of her foot, Selena causes the snowflake at their feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice and ‘leaves’ streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue and red sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. Selena helps Deanna to her feet as the audience continue to cheer.

Sharper: “Selena and Deanna Frost teaming up tonight, after Deanna's victory last week over Sarah Wolf.”

Knots: “That's right, they'll be taking on Polly Playtime's Playgirls, Colleen and Aisling.”

Lyman: “We've seen them a handful of times, it will be interesting to see how they stand up against the Frosts.”

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot and then the words “START GAME” show up on SCW’s Jumbotron.  A bunch of girls can be heard giggling before “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched begins to play.

The music plays for quite some time and it is not until it comes to the first chorus that Colleen and Aisling walk out from behind, wearing matching pantsuits. They both have a little dance in their walk as they make their way down the ramp. Colleen and Aisling reach the ring and slide in. They get to their feet and raise their arms overhead.

Phillps: “And now.... the outstanding, remarkable, and entertaining Polly's Playgirls, Colleen and Aisling!”

The two women curtsy after the introduction, and the music fades out.

Sharper: “Polly's Playgirls out here without Polly.”

Lyman: “Let's hope it stays that way.”

Knots: “How rude! Polly is wonderful!”

The bell rings. We see both teams in their corner discussing who will start. Deanna steps out first, and then Aisling. They lock up and Deanna throws a knee into Aisling's side. Aisling steps back, and Deanna takes her down with an arm drag. Aisling rolls throuh and back to her feet, only for Deanna to drop her with another. This time Deanna holds on to the arm, ad pulls back, straining Aisling's shoulder. We see Selena nodding in approval as Aisling grimaces in pain. Aisling manages to get her legs under her and force Deanna to let go. Aisling gets to her feet, shaking out her shoulder. She turns and Deanna grabs the arm and whips her across the ring into the ropes. On the return Deanna goes for a high knee, but Aisling ducks. Deanna continues forward from her momentum, as Aisling spins around. She grabs Deanna from behind and throws her backwards wit a snap suplex. She turns and makes a cover.

1!

Deanna kicks out. Selena claps and Colleen yells.

Sharper: “Quick start to this one and a cover, but Deanna Frost kicks out quickly.”

Knots: “Smart by Aisling, make her waste energy.”

Both women are up and grabs Aisling's arm and spins her around before landing a short-arm clothesline. Aisling falls to her back. Deanna takes the opportunity to tag in Selena. The crowd cheers as Selena gets in. As soon as Aisling is to her feet, Selena drops her with a spinning heel kick. Selena then drops an elbow into her chest. She makes a cover, hooking a leg.

1!

2!

Aisling kicks out. Selena sighs and gets to her feet. Aisling rolls away and to the corner, tagging in Colleen. Selean braces herself for Colleen who runs in, looking for a shoulder tackle. Selena holds her arms out and grabs Colleen as she makes impact, and both women go down, rolling backwards. Selena ends up on top. She grabs an arm and maneuvers around to apply the Frost Bite! Colleen links her hands though to keep Selena from straightening her arm and locking it on fully. Selena pulls as hard as she can, but Colleen uses her feet to spin them both around and then get her foot on the bottom rope. The official calls for a break, and Selena lets go.

Sharper: “Nearly got the Frost Bite locked on, did Selena.”

Knots: “Colleen with great ring awareness though, turning herself around and getting the foot on the rope.”

Lyman: “And Selena releasing immediately, she's not one to take advantage.”

Selena gets up and Colleen pulls herself up using the ropes. Colleen bounces off the rope for momentum and nails Selena with a clothesline. Selena goes down. Colleen keeps running as Selena gets right back up. Colleen rebounds and aims for another clothesline but Selena leaps and hits the Paydirt. Colleen goes down hard. Selena tags in Deanna and Deanna pulls Colleen up, grabbing her from behind. Selena leaps with a dropkick and Deanna plants Colleen with a German suplex, completing the House Rule! The crowd cheers as Selena exits and Deanna bridges for a pin.

1!

2!

Aisling runs in and breaks it up. Deanna rolls trough and lands seated. Aisling helps Colleen up as the official tells her to exit. The two Playgirls speak a moment, Colleen nods. Aisling goes back to the apron, but we see her wave her hand towards the ramp.

Sharper: “What was that? Did you see Aisling wave?”

Knots: “She saw a fan she likes, that's all!”

Lyman: “I don't think so.... I think she's calling for backup.”

Colleen and Deanna lock up and Colleen gets the advantage, working Deanna into a neutral corner. Colleen throws a knee into Deanna's ribs, then another. Deanna holds her side in pain. Colleen steps back, getting room for a running knee... but Deanna blocks it! She grabs Colleen's leg, pushes her back a step then drops her with a dragonscrew leg whip. Deanna then grabs Colleen from behind, applying a rear naked choke.

Sharper: “Deanna with the choke! And they're close to center ring, Colleen has nowhere to go.”

Knots: “Why isn't Aisling coming in to break it up?”

Lyman: “That's why! I knew it!”

The crowd boos as we see Polly Playtime running down the ramp. She leaps up onto the apron and starts to get in. Deanna sees this and lets go, getting to her feet. Colleen rolls away, recovering. The official warns Polly as Deanna stares her down. Polly hops down, her hands in the air, showing she's doing nothing. Colleen has gotten up and runs up behind Deanna, pulling her down into a rollup.

1!

2!

Deanna kicks out! The crowd cheers. Polly glares.

Sharper: “Colleen tried to steal one!”

Lyman: “Deanna able to kick out though.”

Both women get to their feet and go to their corners. Both Aisling and Selena are tagged in. Colleen drops off the apron to talk to Polly as Aisling runs at Selena, and catches her with a hurricanrana, throwing her across the ring. Aisling hurries over and springs off the middle rope with a moonsault, connecting. She covers.

1!

2!

Selena kicks out. Aisling hits the mat angry, then starts to get up. Selena rolls over and gets to her feet. Aisling turns and Selena hits a Pele kick. Aisling goes down hard. Selena makes a cover.

1!

Aisling just gets her shoulder up. The crowd ohhs, then boos as Polly leaps back onto the apron. The official doesn't see her as Selena gets to her feet. Selena sees Polly though, and runs over, knocking her down with an uppercut. The crowd roars as Polly hits the floor.

Sharper: “Who knows what Polly had in mind there but Selena hit the brakes on it.”

Lyman: “Quick thinking on her part, seeing Polly as our official didn't.”

Knots: “Polly could be hurt, did you see how hard she landed?”

Colleen, now angry, gets back up on the apron and calls to Aisling for the tag. Aisling starts to get up and Selena runs over to stop her, but Aisling dives and gets the tag. Colleen comes in, as Aisling goes down to check on Polly. Colleen grabs Selena and lifts her, planting her with a side slam. Colleen then puts a boot into Selena's ribs. The crowd boos as Colleen goes for another stomp, but then cheers as Selena grabs her leg and pulls her down. Colleen goes down hard, face first. Selena gets to her feet, takes a look to the outside where Aisling is helping Polly to her feet. Seeing they are in no position to interfere, Selena goes to Colleen and pulls her up. She sends her into the ropes. Colleen though grabs the top rope to stop herself from bouncing off. No matter to Selena, she takes a huge side step to cross the ring and nails Colleen with the Glass Shard! The crowd roars as Selena drags Colleen away from the ropes and covers, hooking a leg.

1!

3!

The bell rings, and Selena pushes off, getting up.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, by pinfall.... Selena and Deanna Frost, the House of Frost!”

The crowd cheers as Deanna enters the ring to join her wife, raising their arms overhead. Suddenly both Aisling and Polly run from behind and knock both Selena and Deanna down! The crowd boos heavily.

Sharper: “Polly! Aisling! Sneak attack to the Frosts!”

Lyman: “I'm guessing Polly didn't appreciate Selena knocking her off the apron earlier.”

Knots: “The good thing is, this means Polly isn't hurt. Look at her go!”

Colleen has gotten up and she mounts Deanna, laying lefts and rights. Selena sees this, gets to her hands and feet and dives, knocking Colleen off Deanna. Polly though then grabs Selena from behind and yanks her backwards in a sloppy looking suplex of sorts. Selena lands awkwardly, and before she can try to get up, Aisling runs and baseball slides Selena off the apron and to the floor. The crowd boos. Colleen pulls Deanna up and Aisling joins her, each holding an arm, keeping Deanna from going anywhere. Polly then storms over to Phillips and reaches through the ropes, grabbing the microphone from him. She turns back.

 

Polly: “Alright! Time to enjoy the newest gameshow that’s sweeping the nation. I hope you’re up for playing a little game, Deanna!”

 

Polly walks over to her as the crowd boos. Deanna tries to struggle as Aisling and Colleen keep holding her.

 

Polly: “I know you have hopes many for a tag shot. Your Underground rematch. Selena may want her World Title shot. But we’re going to make this easy. You can show your trivia acumen, Deanna!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Polly: “You answer the question and maybe you get let go. You don’t…and the Playgirls here are going to make you a bit more uncomfortable.”

 

The crowd boos some more as Deanna keeps trying to struggle.

 

Polly: “There’s one person in this ring that’s been passed over for the spotlight while others use their names to get ahead. Can you tell me who that person is?”

 

Deanna: “Screw you!”

 

Polly makes the sound of a buzzer and turns back.

 

Polly: “Wrong!”

 

Aisling and Colleen then force Deanna down to her knees. Polly steps over to her and places her foot on Deanna’s shoulder.

 

Polly: “Now I would normally give you a second shot, but we’re trying to show that wrong answers have consequences. So since the world is watching me right now…you’re going to have to enjoy this!”

 

Polly then backs up and runs into the ropes, but as she does, Selena rolls back into the ring. Polly stops and Selena runs at her and clotheslines her down. The crowd erupts in cheers. Aisling and Colleen let go of Deanna and Selena turns and nails Aisling with a shot. Colleen then grabs Selena from behind, locking her arms. Deanna then gets up and dropkicks Colleen in the back. Colleen falls over as the Playgirls leave the ring. Polly spins around and smacks the apron in anger. Selena turns as Deanna helps her up.

 

Sharper: “Deanna and Selena managing to fight off Polly. Polly was going to do something to Deanna!”

 

Knots: “Looks like Polly Playtime isn’t exactly going to sit back anymore!”

 

Lyman: “And neither are the Playgirls!”

 

Sharper: “Polly Playtime with her new gameshow, new spotlight and new attention seeking.”

 

The Frosts turns to the rampway as Polly paces at ringside, annoyed as Colleen and Aisling look at the ring as the scene cuts away.

 

Backstage, we see Owen Cruze talking to Shaun Cruze backstage.

 

Owen: “Found nothing out?”

 

Shaun: “Seems to be genuine. He added the match. He’s pushing you. Trying to see whether you’re worth it. I don’t know. But he’s also not here, so I have no reason to doubt him.”

 

Owen: “Just given that he’s been known to hold a grudge.”

 

Shaun: “I think he still does. There was some venom in his words to you last week.”

 

Owen: “Whatever. I’m going to just keep fighting and rise to it. Josh Hudson…that was a blip, a hiccup. Then again, I’m watching all that with Glory and him closely. What are you going to do there?”

 

Shaun: “Already have a plan. I have to make tough decisions in my position. Simple as that.”

 

Owen: “Well good. I’ll then try to focus on the easy part…”

 

Shaun: “Don’t overlook Penguin.”

 

Owen: “I won’t. Plan to just give him a main event quality fight and if people want to see what I can do, I’ll show them.”

Breakdown returns as Alexis Quinne stands next to Jessica Winters in the interview area.

 

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here with Alexis Quinne and Alexis, well, you’ve had a few big wins as of late. A couple over Holly Adams and then one over Ravyn, but I want to focus on Holly. She’s on her break it seems. Offseason.”

 

Quinne: “Don’t get me started.”

 

Winters: “Looks like you may be able to move on there.”

 

Quinne: “For that part, yeah. Don’t have to say much except I won’t miss her. After everything she and the Brand put Datura through, me through, you know what…let her take some time off. Maybe she’ll get some clarity. For me, I’m just feeling good. Wins are nice, but the competition, the drive, the desire to get out there, feel the rush and get it done. And that’s what I’m feeling every time I go out there. I feel as good as ever.”

 

Winters: “So where will that lead you?”

 

Quinne: “Sky’s the limit. Because maybe I look at Datura and we see what happens one on one. Maybe I look at Glory and earn a little shot. And I wouldn’t lie that I wouldn’t mind holding the World Title again and doing something completely different. But for the first time in a while, I get to choose the path and focus on me. And that’s not a bad thing. It just means I know something cool is going to happen and I can’t wait for the ride!”

 

Quinne looks at the camera.

 

Winters: “Thank you Alexis.

 

Quinne: “Thank you.”

 

Winters: “Back to ringside.”

 

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

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

The crowd buzzes as Gavin Taylor isn’t who walks out, but instead Ava St. Claire, his manager. St. Claire looks at the crowd before continuing to walk down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor is not here in Mexico City. We can confirm that. But that does not mean he won’t be represented here tonight.”

 

Lyman: “Taylor focusing on next week, namely his World Title shot against Xander Valentine.”

 

Sharper: “That’s right. He cashed in his Trios Tournament contract for this opportunity. This is going to be big. But we learned a bit more to this all and that’s part of Xander’s further motivation. Not only does Xander want to be World Champion, and he’s got it, but he’s got a very good reason to maintain his hold on the title.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Because if he holds it, Adam Allocco aint getting back to it!”

 

St. Claire walks down to the ring and over to the steel steps. She walks up them and then steps into the ring. Gavin’s music continues to play throughout the arena. St. Claire walks over to the corner and grabs a microphone waiting for her on the apron. She then walks back to the middle f of the ring. The crowd buzzes as her music fades out before bringing the microphone to her mouth.

 

St. Claire: “Fans…this is a week you will remember. The final week before the All Star Extravaganza which will take place on Breakdown on October 20th in Minneapolis.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit.

 

St. Claire: “A moment that my client, The All Star Gavin Taylor has waited for his entire career. He has waited for this moment for nearly a year, when he won the Trios Tournament alongside the man who he will challenge next week for the World Title.”

 

The crowd buzzes as St. Claire pauses again.

 

St. Claire: “To say this is a big moment is the understatement of the century. This is a moment more personal than any of you could realize. Gavin developed a friendship with Xander Valentine, a surprising turn of events given that just months before the Trios Tournament, he had me make funeral preparations fearing what Xander would do to him in this ring. True story.”

 

St. Claire walks around the ring.

 

St. Claire: “But by the end of 2021, he was friends with Xander. They had trained together. They had also gone through some unique training thanks to Ducky. In fact, both of those friendships are things he didn’t realize were possible. When Xander Valentine was injured at the hands of Adam Allocco, he was disappointed, saddened at what could have been. Seeing his friend go down and stopped, maybe even permanently from getting into this ring when that knee was targeted. It’s one reason he made sure to talk to him weeks ago when Xander made his surprising return. He also had to deal with Ducky who did not understand what had happened to Xander. And all of this happened with the ridiculous Uncle Roy debacle with Ravyn Taylor…someone who officially speaking on Gavin’s behalf, I can say he feels that Ravyn is finally understanding why she picked the wrong Duck to deal with.”

 

St. Claire pauses again as the crowd cheers.

 

St. Claire: “But while Gavin had those personal friendships develop, leading to new experiences for the All-Star and again, for the record, he is pleased that Xander finally got the World Title match and victory he had wanted even this time last year. But Gavin Taylor has also been focused on rediscovering himself, going through a crisis of confidence, one which may have left him in a position where he was not sure if he was still the All-Star. And when Syren told him he wanted to face her, it sparked something again in him. And it gave him the confidence to stand where we are now. To cash in that Trios Tournament contract and to move forward with the All Star Extravaganza!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

St. Claire: “So fans, get ready. Because this is not only a night Gavin Taylor has been waiting his entire career for, but it is the most personal match he has ever been involved in. He will be the All Star. He MUST be the All Star and he WILL Rise to the Occasion. Gavin Taylor is ready for this opportunity. He is spending his days training long hours to be at his best. No matter the personal reasons Xander Valentine has to ensure he remains champion, from his personal desire to continue his run at the top, to other reasons that involve Adam Allocco, Gavin Taylor will have to disappoint the champion, his friend, and take his place on the throne of wrestling greatness! Fans…know where you were tonight. Because one week from now, The All Star will be WORLD CHAMPION!”

 

St. Claire stands proudly in the ring as “Whoa is Me” plays throughout the arena. She brings the microphone down and then points to the entrance way. On the big screen, we see a promotional artistic drawing of Gavin Taylor holding the SCW World Championship over his head.

 

Sharper: “St. Claire and the marketing team behind the All Star. He was always a bit egotistical. He’s grown up over the last year too.”

 

Lyman: “Yeah, but you know Xander Valentine and his own competitive drive is going to see this and respond in kind. It won’t be through talking. It will be through his actions in the ring!”

 

St. Claire continues to point for a few moments longer before the scene cuts away.

 

Backstage, we see Polly Playtime pacing, annoyed a bit as Colleen and Aisling stand across from her.

 

Polly: “Just great timing as usual. Whatever…we almost had it. And we’ll do it again. Because we’re going to get more time, girls.”

 

Colleen: “Good. Time to take this all mainstream.”

 

Aisling: “I’ll have to make sure I keep looking good then to take advantage of it.”

 

Polly: “People will play our games one way or another.”

 

???: “Maybe I can off a different spotlight.”

 

Polly turns as a British accented voice can be heard. Polly turns. Glory Braddock walks over to her.

 

Glory: “Would you join me for a moment? You can return to your plotting in a moment.”

 

Glory then turns and walks away. Polly turns and follows her and they turn the corner for some privacy.

 

Polly: “What do you want?”

 

Glory: “I want to offer you an opportunity. I hear you want more of them. And as the United Kingdom Champion, I may as well face hungry competitors. Of course, this wouldn’t be a title match. If you beat me, you would then earn one. But I assume you’d like to win gold.”

 

Polly eyes the title.

 

Polly: “Happily.”

 

Glory: “So…shall I go and make it happen?”

 

Polly: “Do it. I’ll be there. Just I hope you won’t hold it against me if I beat you to earn my shot.”

 

Glory smiles.


Glory: “Not a problem at all. All I want…is if a certain former champion shows up, then you have your next contestant.”

 

Polly smiles.

 

Polly: “Done.”

 

Glory: “Excellent. See you next week.”

 

Glory smiles and walks off. The crowd boos as Polly smiles herself and then turns back to the Playgirls as the scene fades to commercial.

DURING THE BREAK:

We see a still of Ava St. Claire walking through the tunnel.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Ava St. Claire just gave the final official statement before Gavin Taylor challenges Xander Valentine next week for the World Title.”

 

Lyman: “But she had a visitor waiting for her.”

 

The video starts as St. Claire walks forward and we then hear a squee before Ducky runs over and grabs her and hugs her. St. Claire is at first taken aback by this before Ducky steps back and smiles.

 

Ducky: “Hiiiiii! I have something for Gavy! Make sure he gets it! HERE! For Gavy!”

 

Ducky holds out one of her invitations. Ava takes it and smiles.

 

St. Claire: “Don’t worry. I’ll get it to him.”

 

Ducky smiles.

 

Ducky: “Yaaaaay! Gavy and Ducky! Gavy and Ducky!”

 

Ducky starts to skip away as St. Claire chuckles a bit.

 

St. Claire: “She’s been missed…”

 

St. Claire smiles and walks off as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

Bree Lancaster vs. Jenni Anderson

 

“MONEY

MONEY

MONEY MAKE HER SMILE…”

 

The chorus line to Bruno Mars’ “Money Make Her Smile” plays out over the crowd before the introductory organ plays out, leading into the full song. Jenni Anderson steps out from the back, confidently striding as she stands before the booing crowd, clad in her ring gear and a long fur coat. She lowers a pair of obscenely expensive sunglasses and begins walking to the ring. 

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. Introducing first, from Reno, Nevada, she is The Queenpin, Jenni Anderson!”

 

Sharper: “The Queenpin making her way to the ring and she’s got a big test in front of her.”

 

Lyman: “Facing one of the best competitors SCW has to offer while on a bit of a cold streak herself, but we’ve seen it hundreds of times, all it takes is one big upset to completely change course in a career. If Jenni can play spoiler here, it could get her back on the right track.”

 

Knots: “That’s assuming she tries to wrestle instead of trying to pay off her opponent!”

 

Once at the foot of the ring, Jenni stands and instructs the referee to open the ropes for her, which undoubtedly happens. Climbing onto the apron, she moves through the ropes and into the ring. Once in the ring, she lowers the coat down her back, looking out over the crowd as she removes her sunglasses entirely. She then sheds her entrance attire and passes them gracefully to the timekeeper as her music fades.

 

Knots: “That timekeeper better be careful. That stuff costs more than his life!”

 

The lights dim slightly as a male voice speaks:

 

“When's the last time you were afraid?”

“I haven't been afraid a day in my life.”

 

The music and chorus of Shinedown's “Dead Don't Die” kicks in, with white strobe lights flashing in time. Bree Lancaster runs out from the curtain, arms spread wide, hands facing up, and a smile on her face.

 

{The dead don't die, the heart still beats

Head held high, I haunt these streets

Life's killed me a hundred thousand times

You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die}

 

Bree makes her way down the ramp, confidence in her step as she speaks to a fan or two on the way.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is Bree Lancaster!”

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster ready to go here, her first match on Breakdown since returning.”

 

Lyman: “Right, obviously victorious at Apocalypse in tag action—”

 

Knots: “After she convinced her friend to throw her life away!”

 

Lyman: “Regardless of Jon’s thoughts on the Datura situation, Bree’s had a great go of it since her return. She’ll look to keep it going here in Mexico.”

 

Bree sprints up the ring steps, quickly wipes her feet on the apron then steps through the ropes. She does a spin in the center of the ring, arms spread out like before, drawing cheers. She then heads to her corner as the music fades and the lights return to normal. The bell sounds, prompting a roar from the crowd. Bree steps forward with her arms up in a grappling stance. Jenni comes out of her corner in the same stance. The two circle each other.

 

Lyman: “Bree talked about competition and hard work in her video message to the fans this week, and it looks like Jenni may have taken it to heart. No bribery here, coming out legitimately.”

 

Bree lunges forward, but Jenni steps to the side. Bree turns and gets a thumb to the eye. She staggers back, holding her eye. The crowd boos.

 

Knots: “Or not!”

 

Jenni grabs Bree by the hair and slams her to the mat. The crowd continues to boo as referee Michael Constantine scolds Jenni. Jenni places her foot onto Bree’s chest for the cover.

 

1!

 

Bree rolls away.

 

Sharper: “And if this start shows anything, it’s that referee Michael Constantine will have his hands full.”

 

Lyman: “Knowing Bree, though, she won’t let her guard down again. She’ll make Jenni wrestle.”

 

Bree starts to get to her feet. Jenni walks over and pulls her the rest of the way up by her hair. Constantine barks out again, but Jenni ignores him, instead quickly dropping Bree with a hip toss. Bree rolls towards the ropes. Jenni walks after her and lays in a stomp. Bree rolls to the outside of the ring. Jenni arrogantly poses for the crowd, getting some boos in response. Bree suddenly reaches up and trips Jenni up. Jenni falls to the mat. Bree pulls her out of the ring and lets her drop to the mats. Constantine starts the count while Bree pulls Jenni up. (1) Bree harshly whips Jenni into the announcer’s desk. Jenni turns and falls at the last moment, taking most of the impact on her shoulder. (2) Jenni rolls away towards the timekeeper’s area.

 

Sharper: “Action spilling out here now, right in front of us.”

 

Lyman: “Jenni sending Bree out here, but Bree quickly using the scenery change to her advantage!”

 

Bree walks after Jenni towards the timekeeper’s area, but we see Jenni reach up and snatch the ring bell, trying to hide it while kneeling to the ground. (3) Bree suddenly stops. She turns to the referee. Jenni continues to lie in wait.

 

Lyman: “I think Jenni just grabbed the bell.”

 

Knots: “Bree not getting suckered in this time, though! A cheater knows a cheater!”

 

Constantine stops his count and yells out to Jenni, who turns to see that both him and Bree aren’t fooled. Jenni suddenly springs up and throws the bell to the side, charging at Bree. Bree reacts quickly and drops Jenni with a drop-toe hold. Jenni hits the mats hard as the crowd cheers. 

 

Sharper: “Forcing Jenni to fight now, and Jenni not able to keep up!”

 

(4) Bree gets up. Jenni tries to crawl away, but Bree catches up to her and yanks her to her feet. (5) Bree throws Jenni back into the ring. She slides in after her. Before Jenni can get up, Bree drops down on her with a sharp elbow drop to the back. Bree rolls Jenni over for the cover.

 

1!

 

Jenni gets a shoulder up. Bree spins to her feet, quickly bringing Jenni up with her. She viciously whips Jenni into the corner, running after her. Jenni slams her back into the corner. Bree stays in motion and drills her knee into Jenni’s gut. Jenni doubles over. Bree hooks her head and runs forward before dropping her with a bulldog. Jenni rolls onto her back after impact. Bree goes for the lateral press.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jenni rolls her shoulder up, going on her stomach. Bree reacts quickly, transitioning into a crossface. The crowd cheers. Jenni reaches out towards the ropes. With the ropes out of reach, she slowly tries to inch closer to them.

 

Lyman: “Flawless transition from Bree, going right into the crossface, and now Jenni’s in trouble!”

 

Bree yanks back, cranking out a yelp from Jenni. The crowd roars as we see Calvan Greene sprinting down the ramp at full speed.

 

Sharper: “Jenni on the verge of tapping early here, but here comes Calvan Greene!”

 

Lyman: “We’ve seen Jenni trying to get Calvan to work with her, but I’m not sure there’s so much he can do here. His new friend is about to lose!”

 

Calvan arrives at the ring. He starts slamming the apron while enthusiastically cheering Jenni on. Bree looks up in slight confusion. The brief distraction allows Jenni to suddenly flip over, putting her on top of Bree for the unorthodox cover!

 

1!

 

Bree quickly gets out of it, rolling away. She quickly gets back to her feet. Jenni pushes herself up. Bree runs at her, throwing up a clothesline, but Jenni ducks it. Bree plants and turns, only to eat a kick to the stomach. She doubles over. Jenni hooks Bree’s head before throwing Bree’s arm over and then hoisting her up into a northern lights suplex. Jenni flawlessly bridges into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Bree kicks out. 

 

Sharper: “And a beautiful northern lights from Jenni only gets a two.”

 

Lyman: “Jenni will often take the easy way out, but the way Bree’s making her earn it, you can see the talent on display. We can’t count her out.”

 

Knots: “Especially if she’s paying off Calvan to run interference, whether he even realizes it or not!”

 

Calvan slams the apron again, angrily this time. Constantine looks over.

 

Calvan: “Come on, ref! You gotta count faster than that!”

 

Constantine looks at Calvan in bewilderment. Calvan turns and nods to Jenni, who just nods in return. Jenni gets to her feet and grabs Bree by leg. She drags Bree a few steps back, setting herself up near the ropes. Jenni steps over the leg for a spinning toe hold. Bree reaches out for the ropes. Her initial reach falls short. Calvan suddenly hops up on the apron, excitedly jumping up and down while pointing.

 

Calvan: “She tapped! Her hand tapped the mat!”

 

Constantine goes to apron, instructing Calvan to get off. Jenni uses the distraction to reach back and grab the ropes while hooking Bree’s leg, using the rope for some extra leverage. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Calvan insisting that Bree reaching out was her tapping, but now look at Anderson! Taking advantage!”

 

Calvan looks over Constantine’s shoulder and flashes a thumbs up.

 

Calvan: “Hey, good idea!”

 

Constantine turns and Jenni quickly lets go of the ropes. Constantine shoos Calvan off the apron and returns to the action. Jenni goes to take another step over, but Bree uses her free leg to push Jenni chest-first into the ropes. Jenni rebounds and Bree rolls her right into a schoolboy!

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jenni kicks out.

 

Calvan: “Hold on, that’s too fast now!”

 

Jenni quickly gets to her feet. She runs at Bree, but Bree rises up with a spinning heel kick! The crowd roars. Both women get back up, Bree getting just a second ahead. She grabs Jenni and throws her into the corner. Jenni hits hard. Bree runs at her, but Jenni throws up a boot. Bree stumbles back, holding her jaw. Jenni staggers forward. She kicks Bree’s gut before hooking her head. Jenni hoists Bree up for a suplex, but Bree slips out of it at the apex, landing on her feet behind Jenni. Bree drives a knee into Jenni’s back. Jenni arches and Bree hooks her head from behind before dropping her with a reverse DDT! She floats over for the cover.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jenni kicks out. Bree slides down to Jenni’s lower half, quickly springing up while grabbing one of Jenni’s legs. The crowd roars as Jenni tries to slip free.

 

Sharper: “Bree staying on her opponent, maybe looking for that Crescent Lock!”

 

Bree goes to step over, but Jenni reaches up and brings Bree down into a small package!

 

1!

 

2!

 

Bree breaks free. Bree once again gets to her feet before Jenni. Jenni gets to her knees. Bree goes for a superkick, but Jenni ducks. Bree stumbles forward. Jenni gets up and grabs Bree from behind, hooking both arms. She tries to spin into a backslide pin, but Bree throws back an elbow and clobbers Jenni in the side of the head. Jenni falls forward. Bree turns to see her getting up. Bree lunges forward and impales Jenni’s spine with Priceless! The crowd roars as Jenni falls forward, holding and arching her back. Bree sets herself up behind Jenni in a crouched position while the crowd buzzes loudly.

 

Sharper: “Bree now, looking for the Classifier!”

 

Knots: “Jenni’s not gonna buy her way out of this one!”

 

Calvan suddenly hops up on the apron once again, pointing at Bree.

 

Calvan: “Illegal stance! False start!”

 

Before Constantine can even get to the apron, Bree runs at Calvan. Calvan drops down before she can do any damage. He backs away with his hands up. Jenni gets up, still holding her back. She sees Bree standing near the ropes, looking down at Calvan. Jenni runs at Bree, throwing her elbow up for the Queenpin’s Kiss, but Bree rolls out of the way at the last second. Jenni stumbles into the ropes. She rebounds off them, right into a Rectifier from Bree! The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh, Anderson going for that vicious elbow, but Bree countering with the Rectifier!”

 

Lyman: “Couldn’t get the Classifier off, but that new weapon in her arsenal may prove to be just as fatal for Jenni Anderson!”

 

Bree crawls over to Jenni and hooks both legs with authority. Constantine slides over for the count, the crowd joining in.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The bell sounds. “Dead Don’t Die” plays as Bree lets go of Jenni. She sits up and pumps her fist.

 

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

 

Bree gets to her feet. Constantine raises her arm in victory. Bree looks around and nods while her music continues to play.

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster with a decisive victory in her return to singles action!”

 

Lyman: “Yeah, we saw her force Jenni to stay on the mats. Jenni tried her best to keep up, even getting some bizarre assistance from Calvan Greene, but it wasn’t enough in the end. Bree proving why she’s a talent to be feared, whether she’s coming off a hiatus or not.”

 

Knots: “Well, at least Jenni still has her money to sulk in.”

 

Sharper: “Something tells me that the money from the winner’s window is worth much more to Bree.”

 

Bree goes to the corner and gets up on the second rope. She looks out to the crowd and holds her hands up in celebration. Meanwhile, Constantine checks on Jenni, who begins to stir. He looks out to Calvan Greene, who just shrugs and starts to make his way up the ramp.

 

Sharper: “And Calvan just leaving his new partner out here after that attempt at assistance.”

 

Knots: “He might consider that a job well done! He certainly tried, at least.”

 

Sharper: “Regardless, we’ll see if this will result in a very short lived partnership between Jenni Anderson and Calvan Greene. In the meantime, Bree Lancaster celebrates her return to victory here on Breakdown!”

 

Constantine watches Calvan go, just shaking his head in embarrassment. Calvan slaps hands with a few fans, even stopping to pose for some pictures. Constantine goes back to checking on Jenni as Bree continues to soak in the reaction of the fans.

 

Selena Frost walks through the backstage area. The crowd cheers seeing her as she takes a few more steps and then walks over to one locker room and knocks on the door. She waits a moment.

 

Selena: “Glory?”

 

Selena opens the door and steps in. Glory then opens the door.

 

Selena: “Glory!”

 

Glory: “Sorry. I have to take certain precautions when someone is threatening my career.”

 

Selena: “Understandable.”

 

Glory: “What can you do for you?”

 

Selena: “Well Glory, we’ve been through some things and look, I’m a bit worried about the direction you’re taking. I get wanting to face deserving talent, but you’re a champion and you even changed the title-“

 

Glory: “Selena, relax. I have pride for my nation. And frankly, after facing people who weren’t ready to compete at my level…look, I’m just doing what you were. Integrity. You made sure they could go in the ring and they would compete properly. I’m just making sure they deserve to be in the ring first.”

 

Selena: “Well…I don’t know if it’s the same thing, but then Polly? And working with her?”

 

Glory: “Maybe she needs an opportunity.”

 

Selena: “After what she tried? With Deanna?”

 

Glory smiles.

 

Glory: “You’re looking into it too much. I saw a hungry talent. Maybe if she has her opportunity, she won’t be attacking your wife. Trust me, Selena. We’ve been through a lot. You said so yourself.”

 

Selena: “I guess. Just…making sure you know what you’re doing. Least I can offer to a friend.”

 

Glory puts her arm around Selena.

 

Glory: “Don’t worry about me. I’ve got this all figured out.”

 

Glory smiles as she leads Selena out. Selena turns as Glory looks around.

 

Glory: “Thanks for showing up.”

 

Glory then steps back, closing the door behind her. Selena just looks at the door concerned and walks off.

Backstage, Shaun Cruze walks over to Michael Constantine who is grabbing a bottle of water after the most recent match.

 

Cruze: “Michael!”

 

Constantine looks up and gulps a bit.

 

Cruze: “I think we need to talk. That out there was interesting. Let’s chat about it.”

 

Constantine: “Uh…yeah….thanks…I mean, sure! Sure!”

 

Cruze: “Come with me.”

 

Cruze motions to Constantine and the two walk off as we cut to the ring.

 

“Rockstar” Randy Ramon vs. Jamison Logan

 

“Y’all Ready for This?”

 

“Get Ready for This” by 2 UNLIMITED plays. The crowd buzzes a bit, and then shortly after, Jamison Logan comes out. He looks around and gets pumped up but little crowd reaction.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, he is Jamison Logan!”

 

Jamison makes his way to the ring and hops up on the barricade. He looks out before hopping down and turning and hopping onto the apron. He gets in the ring and looks around but doesn’t do much before heading to his corner.

 

Sharper: “Jamison Logan shocked us all last week returning in Montreal to help Bree Lancaster and attack the Brand.”

 

Lyman: “And maybe dodged the bullet. With Holly Adams’s on her off season…maybe she also realizes she doesn’t have the numbers-“

 

Knots: “She’s not a vengeful person! Shut up!”

 

Lyman: “Holly Adams? Not vengeful? Did you not see what she said about Datura or Cid or won’t even say Asher Hayes’s name.”

 

Knots: “Motivation tactics. She always cares!”

 

“Rise” by Sixx A.M. starts to play and the crowd starts to rise to their feet. A few moments pass before “Rockstar” Randy Ramon steps out from the back and looks around, his arms outstretched.

 

Phillips: “His opponent, from Los Angeles, California, he is “Rockstar” Randy Ramon!”

 

Ramon throws his arm up in the air and looks around before heading down to the ring. The crowd welcomes him as he walks down to the ring. He then runs down and slides into the ring, rolling over to his knees. He looks over at Jamison before sizing him up. He gets up and backs up to the corner.

 

Sharper: “This is going to be special. Rockstar Randy Ramon making his debut here in SCW! And the man can go. Jamison will be in tough here.”

 

Lyman: “Experience versus youth. Ramon finally making his way here while Jamison Logan fresh out of training. But we’ve seen he has explosive offense.”

 

The bell sounds. Logan and Ramon watch one another before they start to move towards each other, getting ready to grapple. Logan steps in and Ramon quickly kicks him in the ribs. Logan winces as Ramon nails him with a hard right. Logan staggers back and Ramon nails him again. Logan falls to the ropes. Ramon grabs him and whips him across the ring. Logan bounces off and Ramon hits a back elbow. Logan hits the mat and rolls over. Ramon dives onto him for the pin.

Logan kicks out. He sits up and Ramon grabs him and drags him up before grabbing his arm and wrenching it. He jerks on it as Logan winces. Ramon pulls up on the arm. Logan pushes back on Ramon and gets him to the ropes. He fires him off. Ramon bounces off and Logan steps up and shoulders Ramon down. Ramon looks up as Logan runs into the ropes. Ramon turns to him and trips up Logan. Logan hits the mat and falls to it. Ramon turns and dives over to him and grabs Logan by the head and starts to move into a side headlock.

 

Sharper: “There’s the experience playing a role. Tripping up Logan and now right back on him.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. A bit harder than drilling Samuel Davis on the floor, huh, Logan?”

 

Jamison Logan fights a bit and rolls to his stomach. Ramon starts to drag him up to his feet and then lets go and clubs him in the back once and then again. Ramon kicks him in the ribs and runs into the ropes. He goes for a clothesline, but Logan ducks and steps forward and into the ropes before nailing Ramon with a hard right. He nails him with another. Ramon staggers back. Logan then kicks him in the ribs and hooks him up and hits a vertical suplex. Logan goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Hard spinebuster. Gets two. But Logan going to the ropes-“

 

Lyman: “Ramon right on him. Not even giving Logan a chance to breathe.”

 

Ramon grabs Logan and clubs him in the back, but Logan elbows Ramon in the jaw. He then nails him again. Ramon stumbles back and Logan runs out and nails him with a hard clothesline. The crowd ohs from the impact. Logan turns and hooks the leg.

Ramon gets his shoulder up. The crowd ohs. Ramon rolls away as Logan looks up and checks with the official, Jennifer Cassidy.

 

Sharper: “Only two! Logan thought he got all of it, and he got good impact, but Ramon showing his resiliency!”

Sharper: “Have a bit more pride.”

 

Knots: “Hey! He won!”

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via countout, Rockstar Randy Ramon!”

 

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Ramon gets up. He has his arm raised and turns and stumbles to the ropes and leans on them before turning back.

 

Sharper: “Not the start Logan wanted. He was happy to fight Ramon. Ramon focused on getting the win however he could.”

 

Lyman: “We didn’t even see him hit his trademarked superkick and you wonder what would’ve happened if Logan didn’t get hit or could’ve gotten back in the ring. He’s going to have to dust himself off. He wrestled well. Just his opponent had a different idea.”

 

Ramon continues to hold his arm up as we cut away.

 

The scene opens up to show Xander Valentine backstage. He turns to the camera, holding his SCW World Championship. Artemis stands in the background.

 

Xander: “Gavin…next week we face off for this. I know this is important to you. But I’m sorry…your cash-in will be wasted. I’m sorry…”

 

Xander looks at the camera.

 

Xander: “Friend…”

 

Xander turns and throws the title onto his shoulder.

 

Xander: “This is just bigger than you.”

 

Xander turns and walks off. Artemis glances at the camera before heading off after. A few moments pass before we see Adam Allocco walking over. He stops and then looks down. He shakes his head and turns before heading back in the direction he came.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Owen Cruze vs. Hairless Penguin

 

The crowd roars as jaunty and generic royalty free music begins to play throughout the arena. On the big screen, a unicorn gallops across a beautiful, flowery field, leaving petals exploding into the air underneath its hooves. It gets closer to the camera as it prepares to fly off, but not before evacuating its bowels, which take the form of letters in a bubble font, reading:

 

Lexy Chapel Presents 

HAPPY FARMSTEAD FRIENDS

 

From behind the curtain, Dancing Bear awkwardly moonwalks out onto the stage, cradling one half of the World Tag Team Championships in his arms. Following close behind is Hairless Penguin, clad in his mask and a furry black and white coat that runs all the way to his feet, plus a moderately priced steel string guitar held over his shoulder, as well as the other half of the World Tag Team Championships around his waist. The two make their way to the center of the stage before Lexy Chapel makes her way out behind them, squeezing in between them to take her place on center stage. She physically and literally presents them with her arms at her sides. They both hand her their titles. Hairless Penguin poses stoically and Dancing Bear flosses as Lexy holds both titles in the air. After a moment of fantastical posing, they begin to make their way down the ramp. 

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Lexy Chapel and the Dancing Bear, he is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, representing the Happy Farmstead Friends, he is the Hairless Penguin!”

 

Lexy barks at Dancing Bear to keep dancing as he jigs down the ramp with Hairless Penguin playing guitar along to the royalty free music. Hairless Penguin makes his way up the steps and into the ring, holding his guitar into the air. Behind him, Dancing Bear struggles to get into the ring because he's in an oversized bear suit, but he eventually gets there. Lexy takes her place on the outside of the ring, searching for the nearest child to remind them to tell their parents to buy some Happy Farmstead Friends merchandise. Hairless Penguin hands his furry coat and guitar off to the timekeeper before taking his place in the corner. Dancing Bear comes along and puts his arm around Hairless Penguin as their royalty free music begins to fade.

 

Sharper: “Hairless Penguin has been becoming a star in his own right. He’s had some hard fought matches against Syren in singles competition, but also he and the Dancing Bear still the World Tag Team Champions.”

 

Lyman: “Yeah but the tag division starting to develop around them and starting to respond to them. While at the same time, Penguin and Bear are getting better in the ring.”

 

Knots: “Well you have to get better or you’ll get murdered. And Sarah Wolf nearly did succeed there. She’s just focused elsewhere now!”

 

The opening rifts to ‘Here we Go’ by Chris Classic blasts through the PA, as mist fills the entranceway. The music stops, a huge explosion rocks the entranceway and Owen Cruze jumps, seemingly through the floor and landing on his feet, dropping to one knee and punching the floor

“I been more than ready
Preppin' heavy
For this day to come”

Owen gets to his feet, and looks left and right at the reaction he is getting, a look of focus and determination on his face as he takes in the crowd.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Miami, Florida, he is Owen Cruze!”

“And so now nothing can stop me
I just grind and work
Yeah yeah, you know the motto
You know we goin' hard cause we might never see tomorrow”

He begins the walk down to the ring, slapping the hand of anyone who offers, before sliding in and under the bottom rope, before standing in the middle of the ring his arms outstretched.

“I keep my eye on the fakes and got real from it
Mastered patience and free will from it
That's the real motivation some people kill for it
I keep reachin' for greatness because I'm built from it”

Owen points to the turnbuckle and then runs towards it, bouncing on the middle ropes and back flipping backwards, landing on both feet.

“Here we go
Give it a 100 never nothin' less
Here we go
We comin', you already know the rest
Here we go
We never settle 'cause we know it best
Who wanna test? Who?
Leave you outta breath”

Owen pulls on the top rope a couple of time, applauding the fans as his music fades.

 

Sharper: “Owen Cruze meanwhile in a position he’s familiar with. The main event.”

 

Knots: “Well let’s just hope Penguin remembers what happened last time these two were in the ring. Grab him and throw him over the top rope!”

 

Sharper: “Penguin eliminating Cruze at Taking Hold of the Flame. But other than that, they’ve not really been in the ring. Penguin stepped up against Syren. Can he against Owen?”

 

The bell sounds as Cruze looks at Penguin. Penguin stretches out using the ropes. Bear tells Penguin to kick Cruze’s ass. Cruze smirks as the two circle the ring. They then lunge at one another and Cruze front flips forward. Penguin steps back a bit before then stepping up and the two lock up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another. The crowd roars as Cruze turns and wrenches Penguin’s arm. He then lifts it up and turns and moves into a hammerlock. Penguin winces as Cruze keeps pulling up on the arm. Penguin jumps a bit as he tries to grab at Cruze’s legs and then grabs his head. He jumps up, but Cruze holds on. Penguin yells as Cruze holds on. Penguin winces and leans forward enough to get to the ropes. Cruze holds on.

Sharper: “Cruze getting the better of Penguin early. Even a bit of a sportsmanship.”

 

Knots: “How great. Let’s all hug and sing kumbye-yah!”

 

Penguin and Cruze circle again and lock up again. Cruze this time moves into a side headlock. He pulls back on Penguin’s head and Penguin reaches around. He grabs Cruze and pulls him back to the ropes and fires him off. Cruze bounces off and Penguin goes to grab him, but Cruze flips underneath him. He hops up. Penguin stops and turns and swings and Cruze blocks a hard right and then grabs his arm and kicks him in the stomach before running up the corner. He jumps off and twists in the arm and hits an arm drag. Penguin rolls through. He holds his arm and gets up and Cruze jumps up and dropkicks him in the face. Penguin hits the mat. He rolls to the corner. Cruze walks over and chops him. The crowd woos.

 

Sharper: “Cruze not holding up and Penguin may have a bit of the jitters.”

 

Knots: “Buck up Penguin!”

 

Lyman: “Cruze also knows there are a lot of eyes on him. He and his uncle talking earlier. And so there’s a lot more to this.”

 

Cruze chops Penguin again. More woos. He then whips Penguin across the ring. Cruze runs after and Penguin hits the corner. Cruze hits a running clothesline.

Lyman: “And he’s moving to the apron!”

 

Penguin exits to the apron. He looks back at Owen as he gets up. (1) Penguin then jumps back with a Trust Fall onto Owen, driving both into the barricade. The crowd ohs. (1) Penguin rolls over in pain as the crowd cheers.

Chapel: “Conspiracy! Damn it! I knew it! I knew that was too good of timing!”

 

Bear looks at the invitation, having pulled it off his chest. The camera shows the content, showing it with Penguin, Bear and Ducky dancing and singing together, while mentioning “Wear your best Onesie”, “Happy Birthday” and “October 27!” all on it.
