“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

A shot of Syren holding the SCW Women’s Championship, followed by a shot of CHBK hitting a Bittersweet Ending on one individual, before turning a shot of Jason Zero hitting a spear on Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness a few years ago, before turning into a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on James Exeter.

 

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

 

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

The scene then cuts to inside the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia where pyro ignites either side of the stage and makes its way towards the center. The crowd explodes with electricity with the cameras catching glimpses of all in attendance tonight. Various signs are on full display for their favorite superstars.  The camera continues to pan the crowd before we to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Welcome to Breakdown here in Norfolk, Virginia. Eleven days away from Under Attack and only four days removed from Supreme Saturday, when a new number one contender was determined. Adam Sharper here with Shawn Winters and tonight, Ace Marshall is here. Syren is here. They’re going to meet up in eleven days.”

 

Winters: “And you know who else is here. Regan Street. And she’s pissed off. She couldn’t get involved at Supreme Saturday. She had to watch as the person she hates more than anyone right earn the show to face the person she ACTUALLY hates more than anyone.”

 

Sharper: “Along with that, the SCW Television Championship will be on the line. AJ Helms defends against Tommy Valentine. But not only that, AJ’s partner, Shaun Cruze, he’ll go one on one with Autumn Valentine in our main event tonight.”

 

Kennedy Street vs. Matty Stone

Television Championship Eliminator

 

Ethan Von Aaron walks out in a black suit and shirt with no tie, he has a mic in hand as the spotlight shines on him....

Ethan: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I do use the term rather loosely. Let me direct your attention to the most beautiful and talented woman on the planet. She IS the Star of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. The woman that is the ONLY Sexy Flawless Diva in ALL of professional wrestling, I give to you in all of her glory.....KENNEDY STREET!"

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the rope showing off her beautiful body in her wrestling gear that leaves little to the imagination. Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk as Ethan Von Aaron claps, she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. Carlos quickly comes out and begins to drop rose petals on the ground Kennedy walks on while the monstrous Maximilian follows behind. The crowd boos as she looks over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them, posing along the way to entice them a bit by blowing kisses and shaking her ass. Ethan leads her down to the ring as she arrives at the apron, Maximilian lifts her up on the apron, Carlos rolls in and continues to throw Rose Petals on the ground Keenie walks on as she steps through the ropes stopping for a second and looks out biting the bottom of her lip and stroking the ropes as she gets into the ring taking her time. She walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the flash photography while Ethan again claps. Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner. After she is done Kennedy pulls up her knee pads and places them firmly on her knees, flings back her long blonde hair and turns around to lean against the corner.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street coming out like this is business as usual. She is getting an opportunity here and a big one. But it’s a tough one to say the least. Win tonight, and you get thrown through the ringer.”

 

Winters: “Hey. If the façade works, who cares if it gets results. And that’s what this business is at the end of the day, results based. Mr. D can hate her attitude, but if she’s competing and winning, that heals all wounds.”

 

The lights drop completely, plunging the room into darkness before the speakers burst into life with the opening of “For Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys and the crowd begin to buzz in recognition straight away as white strobe lights flicker on the stage. As the last drone from the bagpipes of “For Boston” ends however, pyro’s pop on either side of the stage and “Right Back At It Again” by A Day To Remember hits the speakers and the lights come back up to show Matty Stone walking out onto the stage. He smiles down at the fans around him before throwing his fist into the air and the fans roar before he turns and makes his way to the ring.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Boston Massachusetts, he is the head trainer at AnteUp Academy of Wrestling and is the Hardcore Icon... MATTY STONE!!!”

Stone jogs down the ramp, high fiving with the fans before hitting the ring and sliding underneath the bottom rope. He pops back up to his feet and walks to the ropes on the far side of the ring, standing on the bottom rope and leaning into the middle and top ropes as he throws his fist into the air again and another small pop of pyro goes off on the stage before he drops down and steps back to his corner to wait for the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “And Matty Stone could be a heck of a person to teach Kennedy a lesson. He’s still getting things going, but if Kennedy isn’t focused, Matty is one who can take advantage of it.”

 

Winters: “Yeah, but this is also a big opportunity, not just for the title shot, but for the fact he could beat a former World Champion.”

 

The bell sounds. Matty looks at Kennedy. Kennedy starts to circle the ring. She just nods, trying to get herself into the right mindset and the two move towards one another and Matty lunges, but Kennedy ducks and spins around, grabbing the arm of Matty and wrenching it. Matty winces and Kennedy turns and wrenches the arm again. She holds on as Matty looks up. He reaches up and turns and moves into a counter with an arm wrench of his own. He then elbows her in the shoulder. Kennedy winces. He hits another elbow. The crowd cheers. He elbows her a third time. Kennedy falls over to the ropes. He turns and whips her across the ring. Kennedy bounces off and Matty hip tosses her down. Kennedy rolls over and gets up and moves to the ropes. Matty looks at her as Kennedy tells the referee to get him back. She lets out an angry grunt before getting up and walking forward and into the corner. Ethan tries to calm her down.

 

Sharper: “And Matty getting the better of this first exchange. Ethan trying to keep Kennedy focused.”

 

Winters: “And if Matty’s already getting to her, this is going to be a long one for her!”

 

Kennedy just takes a few breaths before turning back to the middle of the ring. Matty just waits for her as Kennedy walks out. She then looks around before then lunging and going for a grapple, but Matty quickly shoves her back. Kennedy rolls through and gets up and Matty runs over and shoulders her in the ribs. She rears back and shoulders her again before rearing back and hitting another shoulder thrust. He steps back and pulls her out and into a short-arm clothesline. He goes for the pin.

Matty kicks out. Both get up and Kennedy hits a dropkick. Matty rolls over and towards Ethan. Ethan threatens to hit him, but the referee tells him to get back. Kennedy even snaps at Ethan. Ethan backs away.

 

Sharper: “Hard dropkick takes Matty down and give me a break. Ethan von Aaron, threatening him.”

 

Winters: “In front of the ref no less.”

 

Matty gets up and turns back and Kennedy cuffs Matty with a forearm. She nails him with another one before pushing him into the ropes. She goes to fire him across, but Matty spins through and sends Kennedy in. Kennedy bounces off and Matty hits a back drop. Kennedy rolls over and gets up and Matty nails her in the ribs before scooping her up and slamming her down. Kennedy gets back up and Matty runs into the ropes. He goes to boot her, but she spins out of the way and Matty stops and turns around. Kennedy promptly kicks him in the ribs. She then jumps up and hits a bulldog, driving him down. She goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Hard dropkick. Right to the jaw!”

Kennedy then goes for the pin.

She looks over at Matty and dives off for an elbow drop, but Matty rolls towards the corner. Kennedy hits the mat and rolls over. She starts to get up and Matty jumps up and hits her with the For Boston. The crowd ohs. Kennedy hits the mat. Matty goes for the pin.

Sharper: “What a shot, but Kennedy kicks out! Just in time too.”

 

Winters: “And if she hadn’t we’d not here the end of it…from Kennedy!”

 

Sharper: “Or Ethan!”

 

Matty gets up and grabs Kennedy. He pulls Kennedy up and knees her in the ribs. He hoists her up and drops her with a gutbuster. Kennedy rolls over. Matty walks around before running into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a running elbow drop. He goes for the pin.

Kennedy gets up and Matty runs at Kennedy and Kennedy steps forward and jumps up, catching him and spinning through into the Silver Spoon. The crowd ohs. Matty hits the mat and slowly gets up.

 

Sharper: “Matty off the ropes and Kennedy took a step forward and used that to make sure she got the torque. Hitting the Silver Spoon.”

 

Winters: “And Matty Stone is trying to figure out how many teeth he lost.”

 

Sharper: “And here comes Kennedy!”

 

Kennedy runs into the ropes. She bounces off as Matty starts to get up and Kennedy hits the Pedicure. The crowd ohs and Matty rolls over to his back from the impact. Kennedy drops down for the pin.

The crowd boos. Kennedy gets up and smiles. Ethan jumps up and down in glee before hopping onto the apron. He enters the ring. Kennedy gets up and has her arm raised.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner and next challenge for the SCW Television Championship, Kennedy Street!”

 

The crowd boos more and Ethan then stomps Matty Stone, forcing him out of the ring. Kennedy just watches him before Ethan walks back over and raises her arm again.

 

Winters: “Kennedy Street getting a shot at gold. Not the World Title, but the Television Championship!”

 

Sharper: “And it’s a step. She got it together, put it together and showed what she could do in the ring, but it’s that. What Ethan just did. That arrogance. That attitude.”

 

Winters: “That wasn’t her!”

 

Sharper: “She’s not stopping it. I don’t know how much she’s learned. Either way, she has her opportunity for some SCW gold next week. We’ll see who she’ll face later tonight, but next week, we’ll see if she can step up.”

 

Kennedy Street remains in the ring with Ethan holding her arm, celebrating. The crowd continues to boo her before we cut away.

 

 

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

"Could Have Been Me" by The Struts echoes from the louder speaker. The lights go out. A few moments pass before Blake Mason walks out from the back. He’s limping a bit as we see him wearing jeans and a dress shirt. He looks around, holding his ribs a bit as he looks around, clearly showing the effects of his war with Chris Cannon from Supreme Saturday.

 

Sharper: “Blake Mason, you see him there, clearly in pain.”

 

Winters: “I don’t blame him. He was in a war this past Saturday!”

 

Sharper: “And it was given the exclamation point of Chris Cannon doing some big damage. If we go back to Supreme Saturday…”

 

LAST SATURDAY:

We see Blake getting up on the floor and crawling over to the barricade before Cannon runs at him and hits the C4 through the barricade. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “And Chris Cannon, after getting himself disqualified by swatting away the referee, made sure it counted. He then drove Blake through the barricade.”

 

Winters: “You see it again here, but they hate each other and it shows. They absolutely hate each other.”

 

The angle changes as we cut to another shot of it and we see Cannon running at Blake and spearing him through the barricade. The Supreme Saturday logo comes up on the screen.

 

We cut back to see Blake Mason slowly walking up the steel steps and then walking along the apron. He slowly steps in. He then winces a bit as he walks forward and goes over to the corner. He is handed a microphone. Blake takes it and walks back to the middle of the ring. He looks around before going to the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Notice who isn’t out here. Bree Lancaster.”

 

Winters: “We may be looking at this war continuing right here.”

 

Blake looks around.

 

Blake: “I know I don’t look that good right now. I don’t really care because I have much more left in me.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Blake: “Chris…I know you’re here. You tried to break me, but I only bent. You wanted to still fight even after you drove me through the barricade. Officials stopped you. Well tonight, no one is stopping you yet and I’m not done kicking your ass. We still have plenty of unfinished business and if you thought that was going to be it, oh hell no. Chris…get your ass out here! It’s not over until I’m either laid up in the hospital or I say it’s done!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Come on Blake. You’re hurt.”

 

Blake: “Come on…I’ve got busted ribs. I’m bruised. I’m hurt. It’s just what you want in a fight, an easy target you pathetic coward!”

 

The crowd ohs. Blake turns and looks at the entrance way. He looks around as the crowd starts to chant for Blake.

 

Blake: “Come on Chris. Show how big you are by coming out here. Don’t you need to impress someone!

 

The crowd cheers and just then, we see Chris Cannon walking out from the back. He’s got a roll of tape and is starting to tape up his fists as he’s heading down to the ring. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Here comes Chris and he’s taping up his fists.”

 

Winters: “He’s coming to fight. There’s the delay. He’s going to make sure he can punch Blake black and blue all night long!”

 

Chris continues to wrap it around his fists.

 

Blake: “Oh come on. The swelling probably is soft enough or are you worried about your precious little knuckles. Get your ass in here you piece of sh[bleep]!”

 

The crowd roars. Chris starts to move faster when we see officials running out from the back. The crowd boos as Blake waits for Chris. He then stands up and starts to snap at the officials. Officials get in Chris’ way as he gets to the ring. He tries to walk around the ring. Blake just watches him.

 

Blake: “Let the son of a bitch go. We’re not done. Hell, reinstate the match from Saturday. Take the disqualification off the book and maybe Chris Cannon can actually beat me when I’m half injured. Only way he’ll do otherwise!”

 

Chris shoves past the officials getting to the ring before officials push him back. Blake runs over and kicks at the ropes. He backs up yelling at Chris.

 

Sharper: “Cannon down here!”

 

Winters: “He wants to finish the job!”

 

Sharper: “And Blake is happy to give him the option!”

 

Blake: “I don’t care. Give me a damn waiver then. I’ll give him his shot to kick my ass. I’m not done with him. After what he said to Bree, I’ll show him and remind Kelcey what a real man is!”

 

Chris shoves past an official and runs over to the ring. Blake runs over and swings the microphone towards Chris. Chris jukes back and staggers back. He looks up and the officials keep him back.

 

Mr. D: “Stop it! Stop it! This is not going to happen tonight! I’m not going to stand idly by with this!”

 

The crowd boos a bit as Mr. D walks out from the back, microphone in his hand. Blake turns to him.

 

Blake: “Then don’t. Sanction this and let his ass in the ring!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Mr. D: “I’m not going to let this keep building up like this.”

 

Chris jumps to the ring and tries to get in behind Blake while Blake is turned to the boss. He is pulled back down as Blake turns and runs over and kicks at the ropes. Chris tries to grab at him as Blake backs up.

 

Mr. D: “Stop it! You two want to fight?”

 

Blake turns to him.

 

Blake: “Damn right. We’re not done.”

 

Mr. D: “I can see that. And with Chris getting himself disqualified, you putting fans at risk by getting driven through the barricade, I know this won’t end unless you have a true opportunity to get this all out.”

 

Blake: “Sign it. We’ll do it tonight!”

 

Chris starts to nod. The camera nearby picks up his voice.

 

Cannon: “Yeah! I’m ready right now!”

 

Mr. D pauses for a moment. He then looks up.

 

Mr. D: “Fine…I’ll let you two face each other one more time. But this is ridiculous after what you did to each other, I’m not letting the two of you touch one another until I have a clear damn conscience doing what I know you’ll do to each other.”

 

Blake doesn’t even hesitate.

 

Blake: “Tell me what to sign.”

 

Chris tries to get into the ring again, the officials pull him back and this time, pin him to the barricade.

 

Mr. D: “Fine…one more time, since Supreme Saturday didn’t get the job done…you two want each other. We’ll do it at Under Attack. Blake Mason against Chris Cannon…”

 

The crowd boos a bit, hoping for it to be tonight.

 

Mr. D: “But…”

 

Mr. D pauses.

 

Mr. D: “I’m adding two more provisos. I need to protect SCW and I need to protect these fans. For this match to take place, it will be unsanctioned. I’m not going to let SCW be responsible for what you two do to each other.”

 

The crowd roars. Blake just starts nodding. Chris just smiles while being held back by the officials.

 

Mr. D: “And I’m going to make sure we don’t have a repeat of Saturday. I’m not going to risk our fans for your war….”

 

Mr. D looks down, almost as if he’s thinking before then looking up.

 

Mr. D: “I’m putting the two of you into the Chamber. No one is locked up. Just the structure. We’ll bring it back down and let the two of you beat the hell out of each other inside that damn structure.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God…”

 

Mr. D: “This is going to solve this…I’m not going to accept it now though…next week. Show up, I’ll tell you went and we sign a contract hopefully with cooler heads. If you want to destroy one another, I’m going to make sure this is what you want…and SCW’s hands are clean of this.”

 

The crowd roars as Blake just smiles.

 

Blake: “I’ll be there.”

 

Chris just smiles too.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God…Blake Mason and Chris Cannon to fight again in the Chamber!”

 

Winters: “We’ve seen how devastating that match is. There’s no outlasting here. It’s a fight. They start off in there. The chains, the steel, all to keep them in now.”

 

Sharper: “For the first time ever too, the Chamber Match used not for the chambers, but to keep people in…Good lord. If they sign though…”

 

Winters: “They will…see them now…they will. And next week, good luck making them wait!”

 

Mr. D just looks at Blake and then Chris before turning around and heading to the back, shaking his head. Blake just turns to Chris and smiles as Chris smiles back. They say a few things to each other as the scene cuts away. 

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Spirit Dansby standing by with Shaun Cruze and Angyalka Cruze.

 

Spirit: “I am here with Shaun Cruze and Angyalka Cruze and Shaun, later tonight, you’ll be in action against Autumn Valentine, but there is something else I wanted to ask you. To start Supreme Saturday, we heard from all of the other entrants in the Gauntlet for the Gold. You, however, didn’t say anything. Was this by design? Don’t tell me SCW forgot you?”

 

Shaun just smirks.

 

Shaun: “No. It was more that my mind was on other thing, such as performing in that ring. I don’t need to make some pithy statement to do that. I may not have had the result I wanted, but I elected to avoid the camera and focus on the opportunity ahead of me. Just like I am going to tonight, but well, I’m not going to tell you buzz off. That wouldn’t be kind. All I’ll say about tonight is that Autumn Valentine is a hell of a talent and it’s out there, it’s what it is – The SCW Tag Titles will be on the line at Under Attack. Helms and I against Autumn and Gable. This is a chance to get some valuable scouting and also to see who may have the edge. That’s what tonight’s about for me and that’s how I plan to make my impact.”

 

Spirit: “Thank you Shaun. Good luck tonight.”

 

Shaun nods and walks off with Angyalka as the scene cuts away.

 

Rocky O’Reilly vs. Brett Sinclaire

 

The show returns to ringside, and Rocky O’Reilly is already on his way down the ramp, his music playing as he high fives a few of the fans on his way down the ramp.

Phillips: “Making his way to the ring, from Buffalo New York, weighing two hundred pounds… ROCKY O’REILLY!!!”

Rocky hits the bottom of the ramp and slides into the ring, the fans cheering him as he mounts the middle turnbuckle and throws his arms out.

Sharper: “Rocky O’Reilly, a representative of the Youth Of A Nation wrestling school, ready for action folks…”

Winters: “And looking to truly make his mark here in SCW after a mixed start up to now. You have to think that it’s only a matter of time before it happens though; when you’re trained by a man like Donovan Kayl you definitely have a solid chance in the business…”

Sharper: “And let’s remember that Rocky has had success in another company before coming here. It may be a matter of when, rather than if Rocky O’Reilly ends up a true star in SCW…”

Kingdom” by Downstait hits the speakers as all the lights in the arena go out, though a number of fans will light up their phones to try and cut through the darkness. As the lyrics begin, the Tron suddenly comes to life, playing past clips of Brett Sinclaire in action. As the song reaches the line “Waiting for me to start the show” a lone spotlight suddenly shines down on the center of the stage, revealing a figure with his back turned as he stares up at the Tron, the spotlight reflecting off the numerous sequins on his robe, especially the “Evolution Incarnate” script on the back. As the song hits the chorus, the figure suddenly spins around and throws his arms up, palms to the sky as gold pyro rains down behind him and all the lights slowly come back on, albeit dimmed quite a bit. Brett Sinclaire looks out at the fans with a smile, accepting the split reaction he’s being given as he slowly makes his way down to the ring, the spotlight following him.

Phillips: “And his opponent; from the Island of Manhattan in New York City, he weighed in earlier at two hundred and third pounds… BRETT SINCLAIRE!!!”

When he reaches ringside he hops up onto the apron and steps between the ropes before he makes his way to the center of the ring where he repeats his pose from up on the stage, closing his eyes to take everything in as the lights all return to normal now. Brett backs into his corner and removes his robe before warming up for the match ahead, a focused look we’ve never seen before from him on his face.

Sharper: “And here’s the opponent; Brett Sinclaire, making his big debut but perhaps that should be his grand return after several years away from the company and let’s talk about his first reintroduction to our fans back in Paris…”

Winters: “I don’t get why this jerk even has a contract; is that all it takes these days Adam, you jump the rail and attack a member of the roster and you get a job?”

Sharper: “Perhaps the bigger question is what motivated him TO attack Bree several weeks ago? Up to yet, we’ve had no indication as to why Sinclaire chose to make his presence known that night or why he targeted Bree in particular, but tonight he makes his return and I guess we’ll see what his intentions are in due time?”

In the ring, the referee calls for the bell and the match gets underway. Both Brett and Rocky step out of their corners and towards the middle where they lock up at collar and elbow, before Brett fires Rocky into the ropes. Rocky bounces off but hits a baseball slide through Brett’s legs and pops up behind him. Brett spins round and Rocky nails him with a hard right then another before whipping Brett into the ropes. Brett bounces back and Rocky hits him with a dropkick. Rocky jumps back up and Brett rolls back to his feet quickly too. Rocky steps in and goes to whip Brett across the ring but Brett reverses it and Rocky hits the ropes again, bouncing off and taking Brett down with a shoulder block. Rocky turns and breaks for the ropes again as Brett shoots back up to his feet and Rocky takes Brett down again with a clothesline. Rocky pulls Brett to his feet and this time whips Brett into the corner. Taking a few steps back, Rocky runs at Brett in the corner but Brett gets the elbow up and hits Rocky right in the jaw. Rocky stumbles back and Brett climbs up onto the middle rope, sitting on the top turnbuckle as he waits for Rocky to turn back around and as he does, Brett dives off with a double axe handle that takes Rocky off his feet.

Sharper: “A fairly fast paced opening so far folks; Rocky taking control early on but that elbow stopped him in his tracks…”

Winters: “And a big double axe handle from the second rope helps the guy who shouldn’t even have a job take Rocky down following that elbow…”

Sharper: “Perhaps not the instant success Sinclaire was expecting, but it’s early stages and he has a good chance to truly show what he’s capable of before this one ends.”

Brett gets back to his feet as Rocky stirs and as Rocky gets to all fours, Brett stomps on Rocky’s arm, causing Rocky to roll back over onto his back, clutching the arm to his chest. Brett steps forward and stomps on Rocky’s arm again, stamping on the chest too as Rocky cradles his arm against his body. Brett then grabs Rocky’s arm and pulls it up before slipping on an armbar. Brett almost ends up sat with his full weight on Rocky’s bicep and upper arm as he wrenches back, leaving Rocky kicking his legs as he fights the hold. He starts to try and claw his way to the rope but Brett breaks the hold first, pulling Rocky up before kneeing him in the stomach and dropping him with a single arm DDT. Pushing Rocky onto his back, Brett drops down and makes the cover.

1…

2…

Rocky throws the shoulder up at two and Brett rolls away. Rocky, clutching his arm to his chest, rolls to his knees and stares at Brett as the returnee gets to his feet. Brett steps forward but Rocky jumps out and hits a huge enziguri out of nowhere but he seems to land on his arm awkwardly as Brett falls over from the force of the kick.

Winters: “What a big enziguri from Rocky but look at him, he’s landed on that arm and he doesn’t look right!”

Sharper: “Sinclaire was trying to pull Rocky’s arm right out of the socket with that armbar just moments before and that landing didn’t look great…”

Rocky rolls to his feet and pulls himself up with his good arm, shaking his arm trying to get the feeling back into it. Brett gets up to his knees as Rocky steps in and kits a wicked looking kick to Brett’s chest. Rocky turns and runs at the ropes, bouncing off before rushing back and hitting a low angle dropkick to Brett’s chest and Brett collapses back to the canvas. Rocky drops down and makes a cover.

1…

2…NO!

Brett fires his shoulder up and Rocky is thrown off. Rocky gets to his feet again and still favoring his arm, reaches down to pull Brett up, but Brett jumps up and grabbing the arm, hits a double knee armbreaker on Rocky’s bad arm, the crowd wincing at the yell that comes from Rocky’s mouth as he rolls away, kicking his legs wildly as he clutches his arm to his chest again.

Sharper: “Brett Sinclaire clearly has a gameplan now ladies and gentlemen; Rocky O’Reilly’s injury has given the returning A-Lister an opening that he may not have been expecting but he’s happy to take it.”

Winters: “And there’s no surprise there; this douche already showed us all that he’s an opportunist who likes to take advantage of any opening. Look at what happened in Paris!”

Sharper: “And yet it shows that he’s smart enough to capitalize on any opening presented to him; that’s the mark of someone who will be successful in this company if you ask me…”

Brett rolls back to his feet and pulls Rocky up from the canvas. Rocky tries to shield the arm but Brett grabs the wrist of Rocky’s injured arm and applies a wrist lock. Rocky shouts out again but Brett bends underneath the arm and wrenches the hold in even further. Rocky starts stamping a foot on the canvas, the fans sensing what he’s doing and start to roar, cheering him on. Rocky twists back out underneath and hits a kick, followed by another and the third breaks the hold. Rocky throws a punch, following it up by a knife edge chop before turning and running at the ropes. He runs back and swings the arm, looking for a clothesline but Bretty ducks underneath and Rocky comes up short before spinning around and he walks right into Brett as he steps forward and applies the Chains Of Evolution, to Rocky’s injured arm as they collapse to the canvas. Rocky tries to fight the hold but Brett wraps his legs around Rocky’s body, wrenching further on the arm and unwilling to risk breaking his arm, Rocky has no option but to tap.

Sharper: “And just like that, it’s over! Brett Sinclaire picks up the victory in his first match since returning to the company and what a way to do it, via submission!”

Winters: “That Chains of Evolution is a nasty looking hold, especially when the arm is already hurt… Rocky was fighting an uphill battle the moment he landed awkwardly on that arm, and I have to admit, Sinclaire looked good… but I still question why he’s even here Adam, why would SCW want to employ him?!”

Brett has his hand raised by the official as his music plays and some of the fans cheer as he slips from the ring and smiles, backing up the ramp as Rocky clutches at his arm and winces in pain, the camera getting in close to his face as he turns and glares up the ramp where Sinclaire continues to celebrate as the scene fades.

 

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Ace Marshall walking around a box van as he turns and looks at the back.

 

Ace: “Is this her?”

 

A man walks over and goes to the door. His assistant joins him.

 

Man: “This is what you ordered? Just for the night.”

 

Ace: “Oh no, for Under Attack too. I’ll pay you well. Need to make sure she’s well fed, well travelled, probably a bit grumpy.”

 

Man: “Well that’s not exactly-“

 

Ace: “I’ll cover it.”

 

Assistant: “Should we get her out.

 

Man: “Let’s do it.”

 

Ace: “Just covered her for now. Don’t need people getting too on edge. She may not be welcome.”

 

Man: “Alright.”

 

Assistant: “Probably for the best. Won’t spook her.”

 

Ace: “Great.”

 

Ace smiles as the man and the assistant step into the back of the van and pull out the ramp to help get whatever out from inside of it.

 

Sharper: “What in the world does Ace Marshall have planned?”

 

Winters: “I don’t know, but something tells me security won’t like it based on experience.”

 

The scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

We return from commercial to see Ace Marshall now inside the Norfolk Scope. The man and the assistant are with him and behind them, is a large box shaped object covered by a cloth.

 

Ace: “Look. There’s nothing to worry about.”

 

One of the guards at the security checkpoint head over to him and the box.

 

Guard: “With your track record, we’re not taking any chances.”

 

Ace: “Fine…have a peek. Just be careful. She may be spooked.”

 

Guard: “Better not be her.”

 

The guard walks over and looks underneath the cloth, away from the camera. He jukes back. He turns to Ace.

 

Ace: “Told ya.”

 

Guard: “Are you two?”

 

Man: “With the Humane Society.”

 

Guard: “Alright…just need something to prove that and-“

 

Man: “Yeah, yeah. Used to this.”

 

Guard: “Alright, come over here and sign in and you’re all good to go. Just be careful with that. I don’t even wanna know what the hell you’re doing with it.”

 

Ace: “Oh don’t worry. Just making sure we have some fun.”

 

The guard walks over with the guard as we cut away.

 

Sharper: “Got through security.”

 

Winters: “Okay, so what the hell is under there?”

 

Donovan Kayl vs. Katie Steward

 

A church organ begins to play
A chorus sings along with a harmonious melody

The lights in the arena dim down darkening the area and “Mercy on Me (Instrumental)” starts to play. A spotlight shines down onto the stage for Katie Steward to step out from behind the curtain and stands in the light. She wears her white ring robe with a pink outline around the white cloth and gold sequences sparkled over it. She grabs the sides of her robe holding it out and spins around slowly showing off to the fans who snap photos and videos of her.

After a few seconds on the posing on the stage she turns back around and continues her walk down the ramp and the spotlight follows. Inside the ring, TJ Johnson is already there and has helped himself to the Phillips' microphone.

Johnson: "Ladies and Gentleman, I’m proud and honor to introduce to you tonight, your Goddess of Desire, nay your Goddess of Supreme, Katie Steward!"

Katie makes it to ringside and walking over to the ring steps. She stops as TJ finishes her introduction and a mixed reaction from the fans. The arena lights return to normal. She carefully climbs up and grabs the ring post so she doesn’t fall. She walks along the apron and waits for TJ to walk over and holds the ropes open for her. Katie enters the ring and walks to the middle and stands there taking off her ring robe revealing her amazing and beautiful ring wrestling attire and TJ is right there to take her robe from her. Katie and TJ walk over to her corner and TJ exits the ring with Katie’s robe in hand and Katie gets warmed up for her match. TJ walks over to the announce team and joins them on commentary.

Sharper: "Katie Steward set to face Donovan Kayl here tonight, after falling short in the TV Championship Eliminator two weeks ago."

Johnson: "She didn't fall short, she simply has a higher standard. She deserves to be the World Champion! United States! She-"

Winters: "Oh God, shut up. Katie Steward has won those before, she's more than capable. It's just continuing to prove it."

"Epic" by Faith No More starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. The crowd cheers as stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Phillips: "And her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, The Cornerstone of Wrestling, Donovan Kayl!"

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd. Kayl throws his arms up for the crowd, shouting out something. He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head as he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly. Katie strikes him from behind with several forearm shots to the head, knocking him into the ropes. She goes to whip him, Donovan reversing and sending her running. As she bounces off the opposite end he steps up before throwing her over with a hip toss. She rolls over clutching her back before pulling herself to her feet, Donovan greeting her with an overhead right hand, knocking her back. He runs up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist, lifting her up onto his shoulder connecting with a back suplex.

Sharper: "Katie quick to engage, Donovan Kayl countering her and taking the lead starting this contest."

Winters: "Both have the experience and the skill in this contest. It's a matter of who wants it. Equally-"

Johnson: "There is nothing equal about them. If Donovan Kayl wants equality he can wrestle for Ante Up or that other school he runs. He's in the ring with a Legend! You just wait until she gets up!"

Donovan rolls over before grabbing Katie's arm and locking on an arm bar. She shouts before sitting up and forcing herself up to a standing position. Donovan keeps the lock in place, Katie flips over before quickly standing and sending him over with an arm drag. She runs up and leaps up, driving her shoulder into his chin. He falls back from the blow, Katie running forward to strike again. Donovan trips her with a leg sweep before leaping over to lock on a cross face. Katie manages to flip over off of her stomach before he can fully lock it in, sitting up and immediately spinning, connecting with a hard kick to the jaw. Donovan is sent reeling before she runs over and leaps up onto his back and pulling him down, connecting with a double knee back breaker. The crowd boos as movement is heard in commentary, TJ Johnson standing and giving her a standing ovation. Katie rolls Donovan over onto his back before taking a step back and connecting with a break dance leg drop.

Johnson: "That's our Goddess! Show him who's boss!"

Sharper: "Katie coming back, managing to break out and reverse out of several submission attempts. Donovan Kayl now down after that innovative back breaker."

Katie rolls over before hooking the leg. Before the referee can drop to make the first count Donovan breaks out while swinging his fist, connecting with a shot to the jaw as he sits up. He pulls himself up before grabbing Katie and spinning her around, lifting her up and connecting with a vertical suplex before pulling her into a seated position and locking in an inverted butterfly lock. Katie grunts while doing what she can to pull herself to her feet. Donovan powers her back down, while also pulling a knee up and striking her in the face. Katie drops before getting to her knees, managing to do a flip, pinning Donovan in the process.

1! ...

2! ..

Donovan releases the hold and shoves her aside. He stands and steps up only to be taken down with a leg sweep from Katie. She rolls over top of him before kneeling over his head, leaning up before smacking the back of his head. He kneels up and looks up only to be met with a dropkick to the face. Katie pulls herself up before running over to connect with several mean spirited stomps to the head as he's down. He starts to pull himself up, Katie assisting before pulling his head under her arm. She goes for a DDT, Donovan spinning out while grabbing her arm, pulling her in for a short arm clothesline. Katie ducks it and steps in behind him before leaping up. Donovan turns only to be met with the Botox Injection. She stands over him before taking a moment to stomp down on his forehead. The crowd boo's as she screams, preparing to go for The Queen's elbow drop. She throws her elbow pad into the crowd before turning and running into the ropes. Donovan rolls over just as she leaps over his head to bounce off the other ropes. She turns and is immediately met as he charges forward and throws her overhead with a belly to belly suplex.

Johnson: "NOOOO! Infidel!"

Sharper: "Katie Steward looking to make an example here tonight, however she may be getting a little too ahead of herself. Donovan Kayl definitely not looking to be a stepping stone."

Katie rolls over grasping at her back before pulling herself up, Donovan meeting her with several right hands, proceeding to grab her arm and pull her in for a spinning sambo suplex. Donovan proceeds to drop down and wrap his arm around her head in a ground sleeper hold. He leans over her back, looking to put her out. Katie squirms before pulling herself over and placing her foot over the bottom rope. Breaking the hold Donovan turns and stands as Katie starts to pull herself up. Donovan steps over only to be met with her leaping and driving her shoulder hard into his mid section. He falls back a step before she charges up and connects with a swinging neck breaker. She pulls him half up before smacking him repeatedly, wrapping an arm around his neck before while he's still on his knees driving him head first into the mat with a DDT.

Winters: "Say whatever you want about her charming personality, Katie Steward was the Women's Champion going into Rise to Greatness for a reason. We may be seeing her making a statement to the rest here tonight."

Sharper: "There has never been any disputing her talent, it's been more about her tactics and her willingness to break every rule in the book to get it done."

She turns and pulls him up before setting him up for the Platinum Blonde. The crowd boos before then cheering as Donovan manages to shove her forward before she can drop him. She bounces off the ropes and is thrown overhead with a back drop. She stands and turns into a right forearm. He attempts another but she ducks it. He turns into a kick before she sets him up for another DDT. He manages to connect with several knees to the mid section before reversing their positions. Instead of a DDT he throws her arm up over his shoulder before lifting her up for a vertical suplex. The crowd cheers as he turns it around and drops her down across the top rope before lifting her back up and dropping her face first into the ring. As she pulls herself up to her knees he bounces himself across the ropes before connecting with the Point Blank knee strike.

1! ...

2! ...

3!

Johnson: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Epic" begins to play once more as Donovan stands and raises his arms up for the crowd before dropping to one knee while lowering his head. TJ Johnson rushes from the commentary table to attend to Katie.

Sharper: "And with the Point Blank is Donovan Kayl victorious here tonight!"

Winters: "More importantly TJ Johnson is no longer sitting next to me."

Donovan turns and makes his way out of the ring, looking into the camera once before turning his attention to the crowd while continuing to pace himself up to the stage.

 

We open up backstage as a door opens as we see Lexy Chapel walking out. She sees the camera.

 

Lexy: “Oh no…not the Sherlexy stuff yet. That’s…uh…later…Find me Watson.”

 

Lexy walks off as we then see Memphis Cade walk out with Chubbs.

 

Cade: “What the hell was that? Look. I love women. I treat them with respect. I give them experiences they’ll never forget and encourage them to be sexual creatures. They get the honour of being with me. What the hell?”

 

Chubbs: “I don’t know. Probably just a sign of the times. This PC culture.”

 

Cade: “Whatever. And I have to go to these meetings weeks on end. For what? I have not sexually harassed anyone! If anything, I think Rachel Foxx sexually harassed me. Touched my ass a few weeks ago. Yeah. And frankly, I don’t blame her, but she needs to ask permission.”

 

Derek Adonis and Manvel walk out and Manvel squirts oil over his chest. He looks around.

 

Adonis: “How am I getting persecuted?!”

 

Manvel: “Whatever. Manvel’s got this. I always treat others with respect, daddy.”

 

Cade glances over as they go to walk off. He scoffs.

 

Cade: “They’re the one’s who need the help.”

 

Cade turns back and we see Rachel Foxx standing in front of him. The crowd roars.

 

Cade: “Whoa, easy there. I know you want to be given the night of your life, but you’re crowding my space.”

 

Foxx: “You just don’t understand.”

 

Cade: “What? Yeah, you probably just wanted a piece of Memphis Cade. All the ladies too.”

 

???: “He doesn’t understand at all.”

 

Cade turns and we see Damian Angel now a few feet away, leaning on the wall.

 

Cade: “Okay, what the hell is going on here? I don’t do threesomes unless it-“

 

Foxx cracks Cade in the jaw with a forearm. The crowd roars. Chubbs turns and grabs Foxx, trying to pull her off and Foxx elbows him in the ribs before nailing him with a kick to the ribs. Chubbs falls back and Foxx turns and Cade rakes the eyes. He turns and Angel nails him with a throat thrust before grabbing him and suddenly dropping him down to the floor. Cade rolls over, holding his nose as Angel slowly gets up. Foxx then stomps him in the ribs and then the face as Cade’s hands move.

 

Foxx: “I wonder if he’s gotten the hint?

 

Damian: “Hopefully.”

 

Damian then turns and starts to walk off. Foxx looks at Cade. She continues to head off.

 

We open up backstage to see Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area.

 

Jessica: “Please welcome at this time, Kelcey Wallace.”

 

The crowd boos as Kelcey Wallace walks into view. Shawn Mason stands with her. Kelcey looks around, clearly hearing the boos in the arena.

 

Jessica: “Kelcey, you entered the Gauntlet for the Gold at number one and while you had an impressive showing, you did not win, nor did you last until the end. You finished third. What is next for Kelcey Wallace?”

 

Kelcey just turns to Jessica slowly, almost stunned by the question asked by Jessica Winters.

 

Kelcey: “Was that smugness in your voice? I think you should remember what I have accomplished in this business. I started at the beginning and lasted until I was eliminated…third last. Ace Marshall got the win, good for him. It sickens me. But he’s going to get his shot. He can go to Under Attack. He can give it his college try and we’ll see if he takes it seriously enough to get a second championship. But Christy Matthews…”

 

Kelcey pauses. She looks down.

 

Kelcey: “Christy Matthews?! Christy Matthews did better than me. Great, she won the Adrenaline Title back from Casey Holliday. Fantastic. But to do better than me?! I get it…she was the second ever World Champion, but Christy Matthews?! She’s not been riding this high in years. But I am not going to stand here and accept that Christy Matthews was better than me, not even for a night! I am not going to stand here and accept that. Ace Marshall….lightning struck twice this year. Good for you. But we all know I should be challenging Syren…her and I still owe each other a proper singles match and one where I show her that she is NOT the best female wrestler in the World. One where I make her TOTALLY Jealous of ME! The Perfect Ten….But Christy Matthews?!”

 

Kelcey turns away. Shawn Mason steps in.

 

Shawn: “It’s fine-“

 

Kelcey: “It’s NOT fine.”

 

Kelcey turns to Shawn.

 

Kelcey: “I want a match against her. I want to remind everyone that I am better than Christy Matthews. That I am the rightful contender. Tell Casey Holliday that her Adrenaline Championship match is put on hold. I am far more important than anything that pathetic tearjerker wants. And Christy, I don’t even want your title. One day, I would happily hold the Adrenaline Championship, but this is about righting a wrong. You are not better than me. You don’t deserve a World Title shot more than me. And damn it, I don’t care how…at Under Attack, I want that match and I want to make that PERFECTLY clear.”

 

Shawn just nods. Jessica doesn’t say anything as Kelcey looks right at the camera as the scene slowly fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Mr. D is seen in his office as there is a knock at the door before Dante McCaffery just steps inside.

 

Dante: “What the hell do you want?”

 

Mr. D: “Hello to you too. I figured at least someone from PUNK HAZARD would want to listen. Interesting it’s you.”

 

Dante: “If we had our choice, we’d have told you to come to us, but Christy decided it wasn’t worth it.”

 

Mr. D: “And yet you’re here. Well that’s fine…because you can pass the message along. If PUNK HAZARD gets involved in the TV Title match tonight, I pull Alexis Quinne out of the Chamber match. Got it….good.”

 

Dante just scoffs.

 

Dante: “Whatever.”

 

Dante turns and walks off. The crowd roars a bit as the camera cuts to Mr. D who continues to work on his paperwork and the scene cuts away.

 

“Cold” by Remedy starts to play and the crowd boos. A few moments pass before Vixen Cain runs out in his fur coat and holds the SCW United States Championship in his hand as he spins around. He then stops and turns as Merrick Wiseman stoically walks out from the back. He looks around and glares at the crowd as the boos come from all over.

 

Sharper: “Merrick Wiseman sauntering out and Vixen Cain clearly showing how happy he is that he’s still the US Championship. He promptly low blowed Starr to get the job done on Saturday, but now, thanks to that, at Under Attack in eleven days will have to defend his title against five others, including Jake Starr, in the Chamber match.”

 

Winters: “And Mr. D said it would be against people that Wiseman or Cain have angered recently, only adding to it. And this is all going to happen before Mason and Cannon fight in there.”

 

Sharper: “That may give you a sense of two individuals that some would say deserve a US Title shot to be out of the running.”

 

Winters: “Meanwhile, Selena’s wife has been on Twitter demanding the fans let people know Selena should get the shot. Can’t that woman earn a shot. She technically had one and turned it down.”

 

Sharper: “She didn’t demand. She requested the fans let SCW know. Selena has said in the past she’d rather compete for the US Title feeling that’s the level she’s at.”

 

Winters: “While slapping everyone in the face, when she’s facing Dark Fantasy and Kelcey Wallace and winning.”

 

Merrick Wiseman starts to walk to the ring as Cain pulls out his cigarette and takes a couple of puffs before starting to walk down to the ring. Merrick looks around, scowling before reaching the steel steps. He walks up them and enters into the ring. Cain heads to the ring before jumping onto the apron. He then looks around and takes another puff before entering the ring. He then walks around the ring before smirking, the cigarette holder, in his mouth. He continues to walk around as Merrick Wiseman heads to the corner and is handed a microphone. He takes it and looks around before starting to speak.

 

Wiseman: “Cut the music.”

 

The crowd boos some.

 

Wiseman: “As the man who continues to show how little he cares for his talent, he couches it in terms of revenge…in a match that represents violence, he happily champions it, not once, but twice, while using as a scapegoat a former Commissioner, firing him to claiming he did the same.”

 

Cain then obviously winks.

 

Wiseman: “This man says that the time for violence is over and yet in eleven days, a match that has injured people every time it has happened, it shortens careers, it is being used in an unsanctioned contest now….and we are the enemies.”

 

Wiseman shakes his head.

 

Wiseman: “This is all the more reason people need to listen to us. We are the men who keep people honest.”

 

Cain leans in.

 

Cain: “Like our friend Jakey! Now he knows the difference between a male and a female!”

 

Cain laughs. The crowd boos.

 

Wiseman: “Making public jokes about Vixen…it shows how pathetic you are Jake. But yes, as Vixen pointed out, your punishment has been meted out.”

 

Winters: “That was great!”

 

Sharper: “Jake Starr had been making fun of Vixen’s name and suggesting something was not right in promotional interviews leading up to that night. We apologize for Starr’s comments and their insensitivity.”

 

Winters: “Yeah, after the fact. SCW covering that up now.”

 

Sharper: “Don’t tell me you’re on their side.”

 

Winters: “Hell no. I hate these guys.”

 

Wiseman continues to looks around as the crowd boos.

 

Wiseman: “But Jake Starr has another opportunity. One he does not deserve, all because Vixen got the job done. But now, he and four others get revenge…”

 

Wiseman shakes his head.

 

Wiseman: “Even your façade of objectiveness is gone. But if you want to stand up to the law and hope this will silence us before the truth comes out…your own intrepid reporter is working on it. You know she is and you say it does not matter….it will Olek, it will. But this is your attempt to shut us up…then who is your best shot. Who?”

 

Wiseman looks up to the big screen as the crowd boos. Cain heads over to the ropes and leans on the top rope, overacting to show his undivided attention. He looks up at the big screen. The crowd boos some.

 

Wiseman: “Come on….tell us your pathetic plan!”

 

The crowd boos some more.

 

Sharper: “Wiseman and Cain want to find out who Cain will be up against in eleven days.”

 

Winters: “We know one. Jake Starr. Four more spots.”

 

A few moments pass before Christina Matsui walks out from the back, not Mr. D. Wiseman just shakes his head.

 

Wiseman: “You serious? Send the assistant out.”

 

Matsui steps forward as she brings the microphone in her hand to her mouth.

 

Christina: “No Merrick. I’m out here because you need to know none of this is personal. This is all because of both of your actions and the Board of Directors are firmly behind these decisions. Plus, he has other matters to deal with and I am here to make the announcement.”

 

Wiseman shakes his head. Cain continues to feign his overboard care.

 

Christina: “As for the match, I’ll happily tell you who else will be in the match. You already know that Jake Starr will join you in the Chamber to challenge for the SCW United States Championship. As for the other four…allow me to begin…”

 

Christina Matsui pauses for a moment.

 

Christina: “Someone that has been impressing for weeks and frankly, has taken advantage of opportunities instead of what you two have done….Alexis Quinne.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Christina: “The man who showed just how badly he wanted to win and frankly, that’s a kind of passion we want to promote and continue to promote and that man is Konrad Raab!”

 

Cain rolls his eyes as the crowd cheers.

 

Christina: “Someone who after your actions regarding the World Tag Team Champions, trying to sneak into that match and was so angry, she contacted Mr. D and myself. We remembered that moment and that would Angelica Jones!”

 

The crowd cheers some more as Merrick Wiseman shakes his head as Vixen Cain returns to his mocking lean on the ropes.

 

Christina: “And finally, because we question something about the motivations of this individual, let us be clear, it’s not a reward, but more an opportunity to make clear where he stands…we know he would love to be the United States Champion and that is Merrick Wiseman!”

 

The crowd roars and Wiseman looks stunned as Cain turns to him and just smirks before turning back to Christina.

 

Christina: “Good luck.”

 

Christina turns and heads back to the back.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. Wiseman and Cain both in the chamber…and if one wants to win, they may have to go through the other.”

 

Winters: “Wiseman wanted the US Title for years after he lost to Ravyn. Cain has it…obviously, they’re trying to throw a wrench in the plan.”

 

Sharper: “And he comes someone else! Starr! It’s Starr!”

 

Starr enters the ring, having come from the crowd. He has a steel chair. Cain steps forward and warns Wiseman as Starr rams the chair into the ribs of Wiseman. Cain drops down and rolls out of the ring and Starr slams the chair on the back of Wiseman. Wiseman drops down and rolls to the floor. He grimaces in pain, holding his back. Starr just looks at him and throws the chair down. He then yells at Cain to get back to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Starr coming from the crowd! Wiseman got the chair! To the ribs. To the back!”

 

Winters:  “And a message and he wants Cain to come back. He wants Cain to try another kick!”

 

Starr stands in the ring as the crowd roars. Wiseman and Cain back away, just looking at the ring as we cut away.

 

The scene opens up again backstage as we see Ace Marshall in one of the larger open areas of the backstage area with Jessica Winters now with him. The two attendants are standing by. A

 

Jessica: “What are you up to now, Ace?”

 

Ace: “Nothing.”

 

Jessica: “Ace…She’s in there.”

 

Ace: “Oh no. God no. That would be cruel even for me.”

 

Jessica: “Then what is?”

 

Ace: “See for yourself.”

 

Jessica walks over and looks under the cloth. She backs up a bit.

 

Jessica: “You brought that here?”

 

Ace: “Brought her. Going to bring her to Under Attack too. A gift for Regan Street.”

 

Jessica: “You’re playing with fire.”

 

Ace: “No…I’m playing with other things and I’ve got a World title shot. I have to take these things seriously now!”

 

Jessica: “Uh-huh.”

 

Ace smiles as Jessica shakes her head and walks off.

 

The scene cuts to show a shot of a set of shaved legs. The camera slowly pans up showing it. The rest of the scene looks again to be a hotel room, with rose petals surrounding the legs. The camera pans across before showing a picture of A.J. Helms’ face on the crotch of the woman. We then hear Lexi von Aaron’s voice.

 

Lexi: “Oh AJ…you still haven’t come to get your rightful celebration. With a real woman. My virginity is yours for the taking. All you have to do is show up and say yes….”

 

Lexi just arches her back, but more looks like she’s stretching instead of being sexy. We also notice AJ’s face covering her breasts.

 

Lexi: “I wish this was the real thing, not just a picture. But AJ, you belong with me. You belong here….and here….and here….”

 

Lexi points to her crotch and her breasts.

 

Lexi: “And wherever else you want with me.”

 

Lexi winks, again, over-exaggerating it.

 

Lexi: “Come on AJ….I’ll be waiting tonight. Bring the TV Title…we can even have sex right over it. You know you want to.”

 

Lexi smiles and again, as she has in the past, licks her lips, looking not at all seductive as the scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Tommy Valentine vs. AJ Helms

SCW Television Championship

 

The arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the whole room into darkness for several seconds before the screens light up to display a countdown.

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE ROOF OFF IN

5...

4...

2...

1...

NOW!

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Darkest Of Kin" by Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, hits.

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL and it is for the SCW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP. Introducing first, from Raleigh, North Carolina, weighing two hundred and five pounds, he is the challenger, this is TOMMY VALENTINE!”

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas. A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"STAND UP, FISTS OUT - THIS IS THE REAL THING!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverbrates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start cheering. The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp in a set of shades with a custom logo on the lens, as he looks out into the audience that are now cheering loudly, chanting his name in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands, fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he spins one hundred and eighty degrees and resumes walking down to the ring. As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and goes to high five as many fans as possible before moving on down the ramp, revelling in their adoration and cheers before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, making beckoning gestures again before smiling at all the fans in the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. Thomas then takes the sunglasses off and hands them to the referee, telling him to keep them safe before waiting for his opponent.

The arena lights cut as the opening riff of "Life @ 11" by A Day To Remember hits the speaker system. As the drums kick in, two small pyros go off on either side of the ramp and the lights burst back into life to show AJ Helms walk out onto the stage, making his way to the middle of the ramp as Scarlett Pearson follows him out. Looking around a little at the fans, he smirks before jumping up so that his feet leave the ground as he punches the air, causing one more small pyro to explode on either side of the stage and the crowd mildly pop as he turns and gives Scarlett a quick kiss before suddenly bolting down to the ring, leaving Scarlett to stroll down after him.

Phillips: “And his opponent, making his way to the ring, accompanied by Scarlett Pearson, he weighed in earlier this evening at two hundred and one pounds and is from Asbury Park, New Jersey by way of Hollywood Hills, California; he is the current, reigning and defending SCW Television Champion, this is AJ HELMS!"

AJ jumps up and tucks his legs underneath him as he slides under the bottom rope legs first before quickly jumping to his feet and running to the corner, where he hops up onto the second rope and throws one fist into the air, the crowd cheering a little again as he grins at them. Scarlett climbs the steps and walks along the apron as AJ hopes down and walks over to his corner where Scarlett is now waiting and he says something to her before giving her another quick kiss and turning his attention back to the ring, waiting for the start of the match as Scarlett drops down to the outside.

Sharper: “A lot on the line tonight, we’ve already seen who will challenge the winner next week so both men will already have that in the back of their mind.”

Winters: “But they can’t solely focus on that.”

The bells rings and the two men begin to circle one another. Tommy leans out and extends and a hand and AJ reaches out and shakes it to a cheer from the crowd before both men continue circling one another. They approach and start to lock up but Tommy quickly takes AJ’s arm and wrenches it before taking him down to a knee. The veteran however is surprised by the rookie who blasts him in the midsection with a headbutt which causes him to stagger back. AJ quickly gets back to his feet again and charges at Tommy who takes him down with an arm drag. Tommy goes to lock up the arm and AJ quickly slides toward the ropes, hooking his feet around the ropes for the break.

Sharper: “AJ quick to break things up, grabbing hold of the ropes.”

Tommy and AJ both get back to their feet. They circle one another in the ring again before AJ comes at Tommy and nails him with a knee to the midsection. AJ nails Tommy with a hard forearm, followed by another, and then whips him to the corner. Tommy hits the turnbuckles and AJ immediately flies in with a splash in the corner before pulling Tommy out of the corner and attempting a neckbreaker. Tommy, however, pushes AJ off and toward the opposite corner. AJ stops himself from hitting and Tommy charges but AJ sidesteps and sends Tommy into the turnbuckles instead before grabbing him from behind and rolling him up for a pin.

1…

2… Kickout by Valentine!

Sharper: “AJ almost stole it there, would have been quite the upset.”

Winters: “I’m glad you said that and not me.”

Sharper: “You know what I meant!”

AJ gets back to his feet and grabs Tommy in a front facelock. Tommy lifts up the rookie and charges him into the corner to break the hold. Tommy staggers away before turning back to the corner and charging in, nailing AJ with a clothesline. The fans cheer. Tommy then kicks AJ in the midsection a few times before backing away and attempting another corner clothesline but AJ ducks it and gets out of the corner, grabbing Tommy and sending him in instead before nailing him with right hands. Tommy ducks between the ropes and jumps down to break the assault from the Television Champion. The fans cheer anyway as Tommy and AJ look at one another and both nod in respect.

Sharper: “AJ really showing his talent in the early goings on in this match, Tommy respecting the fight he’s receiving from a young man he once trained at the Ante Up Academy.”

Winters: “Sure he trained him, but you don’t think he showed him everything. Tommy will have a trick or two up his sleeve.”

AJ backs away from the ropes and Tommy slides back in again. The two men hook up again with Tommy getting the best of it. Tommy lifts up AJ before slamming him down hard to the mat. He then backs into the ropes, bouncing off them and leaping up before driving an elbow down on AJ. He goes to hook a leg for a pin but AJ rolls over and toward the ropes, escaping the possible pin attempt. Tommy doesn’t stop though, grabbing AJ and pulling him to his feet before whipping him to the ropes and leaping up, nailing a beautiful dropkick on him that sends him back down the mat again. The crowd cheers. Tommy grabs AJ as he attempts to get back up, attempting a German Suplex but AJ floats over and lands on his feet. The crowd cheers and Tommy turns around only for AJ to dropkick him down this time.

Sharper: “AJ’s agility is that of a cat, always landing on his feet. Pitch perfect drop kick rounded everything off perfectly for the TV Champion.”

Winters: “Careful when you say Perfectly.”

Sharper: “Oh please she doesn’t OWN the word.”

The Television Champion grabs the former World Champion and pulls him back up. AJ attempts to lift Tommy but Tommy slides down and grabs him from behind. AJ swings an elbow to get out of it but Tommy ducks. Tommy runs AJ toward the ropes but AJ grabs the ropes and holds on and Tommy’s attempt at a rollup backfires, leading him to roll over into the middle of the ring. He gets back up only for AJ to attempt a kick that Tommy catches. Tommy pushes AJ’s leg down with authority, grabbing AJ as he staggers forward before throwing him overhead with a modified belly-to-belly suplex. AJ bounces off the mat and Tommy quickly rolls over and covers him.

1…

2… Kick out by AJ!

Winters: “Not so close there from the former world champ.”

Sharper: “Both men pushing the other here tonight.”

Tommy grabs AJ and pulls him back up. He lifts him before slamming him down to the mat. He then walks toward the turnbuckles and climbs up to the top rope. He leaps off, spinning in mid-air but AJ rolls out of the way and Tommy is able to counter and roll over as he hits the mat before rolling back to his feet. AJ gets back up and charges but Tommy spears him out of nowhere. The fans cheer and Tommy again hooks the leg.

1…

2… NO! AJ Kicks out!

Sharper: “The resilience of the TV Champion on full display here.”

Winters: “He doesn’t want to leave without that Championship.”

Tommy pulls AJ back up. He nails AJ with a few forearm shots before catching him with a knee to the midsection. He doubles over AJ before attempting to hook the arms behind his back but AJ counters and ducks around behind Tommy. He attempts to roll Tommy over into a pin but Tommy rolls through and leaps up before dropkicking AJ in the face. AJ rolls over holding his head. Tommy then attempts to grab AJ but AJ pulls him down into a surprise small package.

Tommy kicks out but AJ grabs him immediately, flipping him and over and pulling Tommy back down again into a sunset flip.

2… NO! KICK OUT BY VALENTINE!

Tommy counters, forcing AJ down to his shoulders and applying all his weight on top.

1…

2… NO!! KICK OUT BY AJ!!!

AJ kicks out and both men roll away from one another. They both nod at one another as the fans cheer wildly for the display between them.

Sharper: “Holy COW, great back and forth there between those two. This could go any way!”

Winters: “Wow… I have to admit, I can’t tell either apart right now. I gotta agree with you this could go anyway!”

Both men get back to their feet. Tommy begins clapping and the fans soon join in. The two men hook up once again with Tommy slipping behind and attempting a suplex but AJ counters. He swings his elbow and this time catches Tommy in the head. Tommy staggers and AJ grabs Tommy in a rear waistlock this time. He attempts to lift Tommy and Tommy lets him lift him half way before countering and rolling AJ up into a pin.

1…

2… Kickout by AJ!

Sharper: “What is going through Tommy’s mind right now, he has to wonder what it will take to put AJ Hems down for the three count?”

Winters: “If you ask me a swift chair shot would do it.”

Sharper: “Well no one asked you.”

AJ pops back up to his feet. Tommy gets up to his as well. AJ nails Tommy with a stagger inducing forearm to the head. Tommy staggers back toward the ropes. AJ nails him a second time, then a third time, then a fourth time and a fifth time, building up fire and momentum as the crowd cheers. The Television Champion then whips his mentor across the ring before leaping up and nailing him with a running European Uppercut. Tommy goes down and the fans cheer. AJ waits for Tommy to get back up before running and nailing a second running European Uppercut. This time Tommy gets knocked back into the corner. He struggles to hold on. AJ charges but Tommy gets a foot up. AJ staggers back and Tommy runs out but AJ leaps up and catches him with a hurricanrana out of nowhere that sends Tommy flipping over onto his back in the middle of the ring. The fans cheer and AJ dives on top for another pin attempt.

Sharper: “HUGE HURRICANRANA, but Tommy Valentine beat the three count!”

AJ rolls to the apron. Tommy rolls over, holding his head. AJ gets to his feet and grabs the top rope. Tommy gets up. AJ leaps up and springs off the ropes, going for a forearm but Tommy ducks it and runs to the ropes. AJ crashes hard onto the mat and Tommy comes at him with a huge kick to the chest. AJ goes down and Tommy goes for a pin.

1…

2… NOT KICK OUT BY AJ!!

Sharper: “This is neck and neck; it could go any which way for either challenger or champion!”

Winters: “I’m beginning to think Tommy doesn’t have it in him.”

AJ rolls over toward the corner. Tommy gets up and goes after him. AJ attempts to kick out at the veteran but Tommy grabs the leg and attempts to pull AJ out of the corner but AJ holds on to the middle rope. Tommy pulls again and AJ uses the momentum to spin himself around in midair and land on his feet. He leaps up and immediately goes for a Pele Kick but Tommy moves and AJ misses. AJ gets back up and Tommy grabs him from behind and drops him with the Redemption Syndrome backbreaker before going for another pin.

1…

2… NOOO KICK OUT BY AJ HELMS!

Sharper: “Say what you want but AJ Helms is fighting for his life right now, the resiliency that his adoptive father David Helms showing here tonight.”

Winters: “Look at Tommy now, this is beginning to get to him and so it SHOULD!”

Tommy looks a bit frustrated but waves it off. He grabs AJ around the chest, squeezing the air out of him and rolling him onto his front. AJ looks to be struggling to catch his breath. Tommy keeps the pressure up before pulling AJ to his feet and managing to lift him all the way up onto his shoulder. The fans cheer as Tommy flips AJ over, going for a slam of some kind but AJ lands on his feet. Tommy looks shocked and attempts to grab AJ in the Griever’s Bane but AJ pushes him off into the ropes. Tommy turns and swings and AJ ducks it before this time leaping up and nailing the Pele Kick on Tommy who drops down. AJ dives into the pin.

1…

2…

3?
NO!!! KICK OUT BY TOMMY VALENTINE!!

Sharper: “I thought he had it, these fans thought he had it but Tommy Valentine had other ideas!”

Winters: “AJ thought he had it as well, he can’t believe it and neither can we.”

Tommy rolls to the ropes and all the way out of the ring, flopping to the floor and holding his head. The fans cheer as AJ gets back to his feet. Tommy gets back to his feet on the outside and AJ runs the ropes before diving between the ropes to the outside, taking both of them out on the outside. The fans cheer wildly as the referee rushes from the ring to check on both champion and challenger on the outside. The fans start cheering for both men and quickly duelling ‘LET’S GO TOMMY’ and ‘LET’S GO HELMS’ chants break out.

Sharper: “These fans letting BOTH superstars that they respect them right now and I’ll find it hard pressed that anyone could say otherwise.”

Winters: “This is really end to end stuff…”

AJ gets back to his feet and grabs Tommy, rolling him back into the ring. AJ then climbs onto the apron and grabs hold of the top rope. Tommy slowly gets up in the ring. AJ springboards off the top rope, going for the forearm again but Tommy ducks it a second time and AJ lands on his feet. Tommy charges at him but AJ catches him with a massive kick to the temple that Tommy doesn’t see coming. Tommy staggers and almost collapses. AJ grabs him and attempts to whip him to the ropes. Tommy holds on to the top rope though and blocks it. AJ kicks him to get him to release the ropes and attempts the whip again. Tommy counters, sending AJ into the ropes but AJ leaps up onto the middle rope. He seems to freeze there for a moment. Tommy moves toward him and AJ springs off the ropes and all the way over Tommy, catching him by the head as he flips over the top and dropping him with a massive neckbreaker in the middle of the ring. The fans cheer wildly as AJ rolls over into a cover.

1…

2… NO!!! TOMMY KICKS OUT!!”

Winters: “How did he kick out?!”

Sharper: “That gut veteran instinct is showing through!”

AJ looks up in disbelief. Tommy rolls to the ropes. AJ rolls to the apron on the opposite side. Tommy uses the ropes to begin to pull himself up. Tommy staggers, turning slowly as he staggers back toward the middle of the ring. AJ springs off the ropes and this time connects devastatingly with the flying forearm, turning Tommy all the way inside out with the impact. The fans roar wildly and AJ looks like he’s about to go for a cover but then he sees the position that Tommy landed in.

AJ ducks between the ropes and quickly climbs to the top rope. The fans roar as he positions himself and leaps off. He perfectly executes the Greetings From Asbury Park with only one problem: Tommy rolls out of the way and AJ smacks down onto the mat hard. The fans “oh” in disappointment. Tommy grabs AJ’s arm and rolls him up into a quick cradle.

1…

2…

3!!!

Sharper: “He did it! Wow, we have a new TV Champion!”

Winters: “WOW indeed… This is unbelievable.”

"Darkest Of Kin" By Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster hits the PA system as Tommy rolls over to a huge ovation from the fans. He pats AJ on the back as AJ rolls over in pain and gets back to his feet as the referee hands him the Television Championship.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentleman, the winner of the match by pin fall AND NEW SCW TELEVISION CHAMPION, TOMMY VALENTINE!”

Tommy raises the belt into the air in victory. The fans cheer. Tommy staggers toward the ropes, climbing up and raising the belt up again. He jumps down only to come face to face with AJ Helms in the middle of the ring. AJ stands there looking at him for a moment before holding out his hand. Tommy shakes it and the crowd cheers. AJ then raises Tommy’s hand before rolling out of the ring, giving Tommy his moment as the crowd cheers again for the show of respect between the mentor and the rookie.

The scene then cuts to inside the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia where pyro ignites either side of the stage and makes its way towards the center. The crowd explodes with electricity with the cameras catching glimpses of all in attendance tonight. Various signs are on full display for their favorite superstars.  The camera continues to pan the crowd before we cut to ringside and the SCW announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Adam Sharper, now joined by Jonathan Knots. We have a new TV Champion. Next week, he will defend against Kennedy Street.”

 

Knots: “Thank God! Kennedy Street getting some gold next week.”

 

Sharper: “Along with that, we know our members in the Chamber match. Blake Mason and Chris Cannon will also compete in the structure, not the rules for the match, but we still have Ace Marshall coming out and he’s got a surprise for Regan Street.”

 

Knots: “Regan’s got one for him. Probably a steel pipe to his head!”

 

We then open up to see Ace Marshall walking out from the back. He turns around and starts to motion someone to slowly come out. We then see the curtain open as the members of the Humane Society come forward, slowly moving the covered cage. The crowd roars seeing this. Ace keeps motioning as he backs down the rampway. He glances back to make sure he doesn’t trip.

 

Knots: “Come on! He’s coming out here. We all know who is under there.”

 

Sharper: “Jessica Winters checked earlier. She vouched for it. Security too. He’s got something out here.”

 

Knots: “Give me a break. Regan Street is coming for his ass. He’s got a World Title shot and he’s doing this!”

 

Ace walks down to the ring and the assistants take their time slowly moving the cage down the rampway. Ace Marshall walks down before hopping onto the apron. He motions to them some more. They continue to gingerly move it down as the crowd buzzes. Ace motions them to make their way closer and closer before stopping at the ring mats. They slowly lift it up and move it closer towards the ring. Ace stops them and thanks them. He then enters the ring and runs across before asking for a microphone.

 

Knots: “Good lord…we have things to do tonight. Perfect Tens to talk to. Let’s get Regan out here to kick this jackasses ass!”

 

Sharper: “Getting a microphone. I guess he has something to add here.”

 

Ace is handed one and he turns around and walks over to the middle of the ring.

 

Ace: “Well don’t worry, I can’t keep you waiting all night. I mean, let’s face it. You’re probably already dragging an axe handle down some hallway backstage and it was only a matter of time before you came and tried to drive it into my skull or my ribs. Thank you for restraightened them by the way. They needed to be cracked back into place…or should I say stomped.”

 

Ace shakes his head.

 

Ace: “Whatever. Anyway, I spared no expense tonight to make good Regan. See, I know that you are all torn up because you won’t get your claws around my throat and get to choke me out in front of the world, probably feeling my last gasps come out of my body. You really need to get the anger in check. But to help, since I know you’ve lost this opportunity since I will be challenging for the World Title…oh damn…another sore spot. I’ll make sure I won’t mention my opponent…don’t need you to be totally jealous.”

 

Ace shakes his head and stops.

 

Ace: “I’ve never been good at this humble thing.”

 

Ace then looks up at the camera.

 

Ace: “Just ask Kennedy. She still needs her men to wrap up a few times over just to get close to my size.”

 

The crowd roars as Ace shrugs.

 

Knots: “You son of a-“

 

Sharper: “Easy there.”

 

Knots: “She’s the number one contender to the TV Title!”

 

Ace: “But sorry, that’s a different Street. I should stay focused here. This is about Regan and well, Regan, I’m going to be completed for the World Title against your favourite person in the world…wait, if I win, can you still be angry about me helping Syren get the World Title…oh wait, you now just hate me. Whatever. I have a way to make sure that anger and rage and desire to probably see me dead not go to waste. I mean your night is free for Under Attack since you likely were going to face me. So, gentlemen, I found the only thing, besides myself that could even DARE compete with the Dangerous Hellcat, Regan Street! Boys!”

 

The assistants slowly remove the cloth from the cage and we see a tiger inside. It paces around the cage and lets out a roar, almost as if on cue.

 

Ace: “We found our own Hellcat. She has claws too. And don’t worry, I made sure it was female. Wanted to make sure this felt as even as possible. Okay, she’s a tiger…and well, she’s rabid. Yeah…and if not, we’ll make her rabid just to make sure she wants to go for your jugular. I mean back in the seventies and stuff, people wrestled bears, let’s start going for Hellcats. So Regan. Meet your opponent, her name….uh…Oh yeah…Syren! What? I figured I’d make it even easier for you.”

 

Just then, we see Regan Street storming out on the floor, along the side of the stage. She runs along it and runs towards the ring. The tiger roars as she runs past and runs over to the ring and slides into it.

 

Ace: “Oh god…she’s rabid! Down kitty! Down!”

 

Ace quickly drops back and rolls out of the ring. Regan slides in and runs over and kicks at the ropes.

 

Regan: “Get your ass back in the ring.”

 

Ace: “Now, Regan, be careful. These men are trained professionals. I think she’s rabid, this kitty may need to be put to sleep .Come on. Get in there. Take her to the pound.”

 

Ace then runs around the ring as the two assistants actually get into the ring. One suddenly pulls out a rod, perhaps to keep an animal back as he holds it out. Regan just runs at the one and forearms him in the jaw before turning and nailing the other with a hard right. She kicks him in the ribs and then again before turning and stepping to the ropes. The tiger roars causing Regan to looks at her before stepping back. Ace just laughs before turning around and heading to the back. He turns around.

 

Ace: “Alright, fine…Under Attack. Regan vs. ‘Syren’! Should be a classic! I’ll stay out of this.”

 

Regan just glares at the tiger before turning back and heading to the ropes. Ace just heads up the rampway. He chuckles to himself. He looks up at the big screen over the entrance as Regan then turns and kicks the first assistant in the head before pacing around the ring.

 

Sharper: “Regan Street is livid and for good reason.”

 

Knots: “He’s just taunting her! Come on! How is that cool?!”

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall having some fun at her expense. But he is right, he’s got a World Title shot and you know Regan Street was hoping to finally get her hands on Ace Marshall. She said she hates him. Ace now is just toying with her!”

 

Knots: “And getting a tiger. Come on. And with those assistants. They can’t be legitimate!”

 

Sharper: “Wonder if they helped Ace’s friend get the bear mace.”

 

Knots: “Oh probably!”

 

Regan just continues to pace the ring as the crowd chants for Ace as he continues to the back.

 

We open up backstage to see Shilo Valiant finally walking into the building. He takes a couple of steps before a security guard heads over towards him.

 

Shilo: “Whoa, whoa guys. I’m not Ace Marshall. I’m not bringing in contraband.”

 

Security: “The boss said you needed to wait here as we called him down. Otherwise, we were not to let you advance any farther. We also were to search through your bags.”

 

Shilo: “Seriously…that’s rich.”

 

Security: “We need to see your bags.”

 

Security then steps forward as Shilo slides his bag down and holds it out. The guard grabs it and unzips it. Shilo looks around. He rummages through before handing it back. He then grabs the walkie-talkie.

 

Security: “Mr. Valiant has arrived. No title on him.”

 

Shilo just smirks as Security looks at Shilo.

 

Security: “Should only be a few minutes.”

 

Shilo: “I can’t only imagine.”

 

Shilo smiles as the scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns as we see Shilo Valiant still backstage at the security checkpoint, but now with Mr. D on the scene.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Shilo Valiant arrived moments ago, very late and the boss wanted him detained by security.”

 

Mr. D: “So Shilo, nice of you to join us.”

 

Shilo: “Figured I’d wait to show up to avoid taking the shine off everyone else.”

 

Mr. D: “No, you just earned yourself a suspension until Under Attack.”

 

Shilo scoffs.

 

Mr. D: “That’s for that stunt Marina pulled. She’s lucky that she’s not on the roster. Too bad that if I ever see her backstage or even in the crowd, she will be arrested and charged with trespassing. I made it clear I wanted no bullcrap in that gauntlet and you delivered in spades.”

 

Shilo: “You can’t deny it was entertaining, but you have no proof I was involved.”

 

Mr. D: “And that’s why you’re only suspended until Under Attack. I’m confident you were involved, though for you once you don’t have the title on you, and frankly, Marina showing up with the title at Breakdown last week and your vanishing act during the Gauntlet, it’s enough.”

 

Shilo: “Marina and I…we’ve had some issues.”

 

Mr. D: “I don’t care.”

 

Shilo: “And wait, you thought I’d bring the title here…after that….you really are hilarious.”

 

Mr. D: “No Shilo, I’m your boss. And frankly, you can turn around and leave. I don’t even feel like dealing with you here. Your suspension begins immediately. But one more thing…”

 

Shilo turns and starts to leave, before stopping.

 

Shilo: “And what’s that?”

 

Mr. D: “Someone wanted their return match. They seemed antsy to get their hands dirty and I think you’re the perfect opponent. So at Under Attack, you’ll return by facing Damian Angel in his return match.”

 

The crowd roars. Shilo just smirks.

 

Shilo: “Interesting…”

Shilo turns and walks off as security watches him. Mr. D does too.

 

Sharper: “Damian Angel against Shilo Valiant at Under Attack?! My God. That night is becoming huge!”

 

We cut backstage to see Jessica Winters in another area of the backstage area. We see SCW Adrenaline Champion, Christy Matthews, standing next to her. The Adrenaline Championship is over her shoulder.

 

Jessica: “I am here with Christy Matthews, the SCW Adrenaline Champion, and earlier tonight, Kelcey Wallace showed her incredulousness towards your outlasting her and nearly winning a World Championship opportunity last Saturday.”

 

Christy: “Oh I saw and I heard and trust me, I had a smile on my face the entire time. It only took one night for people to remember what I can do, but Kelcey now wants to forget. She could believe it that this ghost from the past would come out of the woodwork and nearly get the job done. She can make whatever excuse she wants, it doesn’t stop that I outlasted her in what was supposed to be the Perfect Gauntlet.”

 

Christy smirks.

 

Christy: “Oh and I won the SCW Adrenaline Championship. But as for Kelcey, you know what. I’m happy to take her one in singles action. You know why? When I beat her and trust me, I have all the motivation in the world after that tantrum she had to shove it down her throat that she shouldn’t have ignored me. No one in this company should’ve ignored me. Just like they shouldn’t ignore PUNK HAZARD but that’s another story. And don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about Casey or whoever else wants a shot at this. I’ll happily give it to Casey whenever SCW books it. Why? To prove my point. I am done being in the shadows. I am now going to make noise and I am that close to being back to where I was heading into the main event of Rise to Greatness….now I have the PERFECT way to firmly place myself back there.”

 

The crowd roars as Christy just smiles and we cut to ringside.

 

We open up with a shot of the crowd before we see the Under Attack logo come up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “As Christy Matthews responds to Kelcey Wallace, we’ll see if we can get anything confirmed, another match has just been announced and we didn’t see it coming, but when you think about it, the rationale, the why…it’s obvious. At Under Attack…”

 

We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor, followed by a shot of Selena Frost, before showing both of them.

 

Sharper: “…Selena Frost will face Ravyn Taylor and while both have their eyes perhaps on the US Championship. Ravyn certainly also will have one eye to the World Title, but Selena is clearly someone in that conversation.”

 

Knots: “And if Selena Frost beats Ravyn Taylor, she’d have won Best of the Best and then beaten Kennedy Street, Kelcey Wallace and Ravyn Taylor in consecutive major events. That’s last year’s World Championship ranks in a nutshell. Dawn Lohan and Syren outside of it.”

 

Sharper: “That’s the thing. Selena has a win over Ravyn when Dark Fantasy lost to Platinum in Australia on Breakdown. But now, one on one, an exclamation point in what should be a classic match will take place and we’re going to try and get some initial reaction from both Selena Frost and Ravyn Taylor later tonight.”

 

Amy Chastaine vs. Casey Holliday

 

The bell sounds capturing the SCW fans who are watching in the arena and millions watching at home attention. Standing in the ring is Phillips with his mic in hand…

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a twenty-minute time limit… Introducing first she hails from New Orleans, Louisiana… AMY CHASTAINE!”

All eyes now focus onto the stage when Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words:

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd. She starts down the ramp, greeting fans along the way.

Sharper: “Here is Amy Chastaine looking to rebuild after losing the Television Championship to AJ Helms.”

Knots: “Have to wonder what’s going through her mind, especially with the signing of William Hush which was revealed at Supreme Saturday.”

Amy gets in the ring by hopping up on the apron, and stepping between the second and third ropes. She goes to the second rope in the corner near the ring steps, and poses for the fans, one arm in the air, the other on her hip, a smile for the cheering fans. Amy hops down and goes to the opposite corner, and does the same pose. Amy then hops down and awaits the start of her match as the music fades and the light stop flashing.

Phillips: “And her opponent…. She hails from Seattle, Washington… she is your 2016 Trios Tournament winner, CASEY HOLLIDAY!!”

Diary of Jane" by Breaking Benjamin hits and there's some silence for a few seconds before Casey Holliday walks through the curtains. The crowd gives a warm reception to the unknown as she takes a little bit of time trying to acknowledge some of the fans in the front row. When she reaches the end of the walkway, she takes a deep breath before she makes her way into the ring. She soaks in the unfamiliar spotlight, with a few of the fans cheering her, looking determined as she waits for the match to begin.

Knots: “You ask what is going through Amy’s mind right now, what about Casey’s? She went into Supreme Saturday as Adrenaline Champion, and left a LOSER!”

Sharper: “C’mon now Jon, you cannot take anything away from her. Christy Matthews is one heck of a talent, a multi-time champion in her own right.”

Knots: “That is right, she is and now Adrenaline Champion again but let’s not forget she almost left Saturday as number one contender to the World title!”

Inside the ring Amy and Casey both stand in their respective corners, the SCW fans getting excited for the contest that is sure to take place. Once the official checks both women, he calls for the bell and the match starts off! Both Casey and Amy step out of their corners, the two begin to circle each other. Neither looks to make the first move, both hesitant to do anything in particular but the veteran Amy Chastaine takes the plunge with an attempt of a grapple. Casey however side steps and quickly moves to another corner of the ring.

Sharper: “Quick feet by the former Adrenaline Champion.”

Knots: “It’s going to take more than quick feet to get the victory here tonight. You see her on twitter right?”

The two continue to circle, Amy again lunges forward but this time so does Casey. The two lock horns in the center of the ring with a grapple. Casey drives a knee into the gut of Chastaine not once, but twice. She then sends Amy across the ring with an Irish whip, Chastaine hits the ropes and runs back from the return and knocks Casey down with a shoulder block. Amy looks down while Casey looks up. Chastaine runs the ropes while Casey quickly gets to her feet, with Amy on the return she this time gets caught by a dropkick from the former Adrenaline Champion.

Sharper: “Sweet Dropkick there right on the money.”

Knots: “Amy annoyed more than affected by it though.”

Amy quickly gets back to her feet and the two look to tie up once again, Chastaine however throws a forearm shot to the face of Casey and forces her back to a corner. From there she connects with a vicious chop to the chest of Holliday much to the crowd’s enthusiasm. Casey winces in pain as Chastaine connects with another, and one more before sending Casey across the ring to the opposite corner with an Irish whip. Amy follows after her with a sprint, but Casey leaps onto the second rope and leaps back into a cross body taking the former TV Champion down and covers

1… Kick out by Chastaine!

It was just a one count but Amy rolls away as Casey does as well, a smile on her lips for what could probably be the first time since Supreme Saturday. Amy nods to herself while rising to her feet, Casey does the same the two showing respect for each other in the early going on. The fan’s show their appreciation for that with cheers for both stars. The two locking up once again with Amy now taking control for the second time in quick succession. This time however she drives a knee of her own into the gut of Casey doubling her over before connecting with a clubbing forearm to the back not once but twice.

Sharper: “Chastaine taking control now.”

Amy connects with another shot to the upper back with a clubbing blow before sending Casey to the ropes, Casey makes the return only to get knocked down with a clothesline. But the former Addy champion springs back up only to get scooped up into a slam into the canvas. Chastaine quickly drops to her knees and covers Casey.

1… Kick out by Holliday!

Knots: “It’ll take more than that.”

Both women get to their feet, the two lock up again and jostle for the upper hand, Chastaine moves Amy towards the ropes which gets the request from the official to break the grapple. The veteran does but in doing so opens herself up for a vicious right hand from Casey that sends the former TV Champion stumbling back. Casey quickly runs at Amy and takes her down with another cross body but rolls off. Chastaine starts to get to her feet but is taken down with a running boot to the side of the head, Casey quickly covering once again.

1… Kick out by Chastaine!!

The fans cheer as Casey looks at the heavens, she rolls to a knee and pulls Amy up by her hair and hits a clubbing blow of her own to the back of the neck of Chastaine, she hits another and another before sending Amy into the corner. But that only seems to anger fiery red head as she sprints out and almost takes off Caseys head with a lariat while she ran at her.

Knots: “Sweet jesus, I felt that!”

Sharper: “You’re not the only one Jon, that’s going to leave a mark!”

Casey holds her throat before rolling to her side, the support for both women in the ring is very vocal and equally so as positive as one could get. But there begins a shift in the tone from the crowd as boo’s begin to rain out from the SCW fans… Neither woman in the ring pay any mind to it but the focus shifts to the stage when we see the SCW Women’s Champion, Bree Lancaster walk out.

Sharper:” Bree Lancaster, what is SHE doing out here?!”

Knots: “Clearly to support her BFF Amy? That or she’s bored, who knows she is dating a Mason.”

All joking a side from knots, Bree begins to walk down to the ring, she ignores the fans entirely as she does so with purpose. Amy is to her feet and turns around and notices Bree now at ringside where she walks over and leans through the middle ropes.

Amy: “What the hell are YOU doing out here?!”

Bree: “I’m not here for you, focus on your match!”

Bree and Amy continue to talk, the fans roar though when Casey gets to her feet and runs across the ring driving a knee into the back of Chastaine, she then grabs hold of her waist and rolls back into a seated pin attempt on the former TV Champion.

Sharper: “Oh no, not like this!”

1…

2… NO Kick out by Chastaine!

In doing so the kick out sends Casey flying forward towards the ropes where she falls through and lands incredibly hard at the feet of Bree Lancaster. Amy holds her back while the focus is on Bree, the official beginning to count. (1) Casey rolls over to her back. (2) she sees Bree now and quickly gets to her feet. (3) The two then go face to face.

Casey: “What are YOU out here for?!”

Bree: “I want to know what you intend on using your trios contract on! I deserve to know!”

Casey: “What now?! I have a damn match!”

Bree: “NO!”

Sharper: “She shouldn’t be out here.”

Knots: “I don’t know, things certainly got a lot more interesting!”

Amy now gets to her feet and shakes her head as she too yells at both women, trying to get Caseys attention but to no avail. (4) Casey stops though and turns towards the ring but Bree barks something else out to her that snags her attention forcing Casey to turn back towards her.

Bree: “I want to know this god damn minute, are you going to use it on me?”

(5) Casey laughs which only angers the SCW Womens Champion. (6) Bree then says something else which seemingly angers Casey… (7)

Bree: “You’re just a coward aren’t you, you talk big on social media but you don’t want this, you’re not CLASSY enough. You’d rather go back for the Adrenaline Championship.”

Casey: “You don’t know me! You have no idea what I’m going to use it on.”

(8) The SCW fans are now counting but the heated argument between the two at ringside is just too much for either one to pay attention. (9) Amy Chastaine tries one more time to get the attention, even goes as far as to stop the official but he is ignoring her plea as he finally hits (10). The bell sounds and only THEN does Caseys attention get grabbed away from Bree who looks up as well at the official, Amy in the ring shaking her head in disbelief….

Sharper: “Wow… I can’t believe that just happened.”

Knots: “HA! That is unbelievable, do you think Bree and Amy were in cahoots?”

Sharper: “NO way!”

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman… the winner of this match as a result of a countout… Amy Chastaine!”

There is a mixed reaction from the SCW fans as Amy holds her head in her hands, clearly frustrated at the way she picked up the win. At ringside Casey has turned her attention back to Bree and starts shouting at her.

Casey: “You happy now, you cost me my damn match!”

Bree: “Don’t blame me, this isn’t MY fault!”

Casey stands there holding her head in her hands for a moment as Bree snaps something back at Amy who is shouting at her asking what the hell. But before Bree could say anything else, Casey screams and connects with a stiff shot to the Women’s Champion’s face knocking her on her ass. Bree backs up in shock as Casey kicks the steel step in frustration before looking to go for the attack on Bree. But Amy is quick to exit the ring and stands between the two, Casey seeing this and stops in her tracks only to back up…

Knots: “See she must have been in on it!”

Sharper: “No she doesn’t, whether you want to admit it or not those two are friends still…”

Knots: “Whatever there is more to this, I know it.”

Amy is saying something to Bree who is getting to her feet while holding her jaw, the focus though is on Casey Holliday who is backing up the aisle as Breakdown cuts to commercial.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns as we see Amy Chastaine walking backstage, taking off her elbow pad and holding it in her hand. She heads down the hallway, shaking her head before suddenly, an arm comes up in front of her. She jumps a bit and turns. The camera turns to see James Evans standing there with a smile on his face.

 

James: “Have fun out there?”

 

Amy: “James-“

 

James: “Relax. You need to realize I’m not that bad of a person. Just looking to take what is mine…”

 

Amy: “And what is that? Anything you want?”

 

James: “No…just respect, the World Title….you….”

 

Amy: “You’re sick.”

 

James: “No. I’m feeling fine. Never been better.”

 

Amy: “You know what…”

 

Amy shoves James back. James staggers back, nearly losing his footing before turning and looking at her with a glare.

 

Amy: “Maybe I’ll just show you you’re not going to get anything you want. I’m done with this. All of this creepiness and the threats…getting involved in my friend’s lives and even waiting in my locker room…the booze….You know what James…at Under Attack, you and I. In that ring. I’ll settle it the way I know how and show you that you’ll never get what you want if this is your approach. You don’t deserve it!”

 

James then looks down briefly before suddenly looking up and grabbing at the throat of Amy, pressing her back against the wall. Amy just looks at him, clearly in fear as James leans in. The cameraman steps in.

 

Cameraman: “James-“

 

James: “Shut up!”

 

He turns to Amy.

 

James: “You’re going to regret that little girl. But, if you want me to show you what I’m capable of…thank you. Thank you for giving it to me. Give your friends a front row seat.”

 

???: “Hey!”

 

James turns as we see James let go and step back.

 

James: “It’s fine…”

 

James turns and walks off calmly as we then hear the cameraman.

 

Cameraman: “Amy, you okay?”

 

We then see an official running over and joining Amy. Amy just looks down, holding her throat.

 

Official: “Amy…”

 

Amy: “I’m okay…yeah…I’m okay….”

 

The official checks on Amy as we then cut away.

 

Spirit Dansby stands backstage with Selena Frost as the crowd cheers seeing her.

 

Spirit: “Welcome backstage and I am with Selena Frost. Selena, we heard earlier tonight that while you won’t be challenging for the US Championship in the Chamber, you’ll have an equally important challenge. You will face Ravyn Taylor at Under Attack.”

 

Selena: “Well true believers, it looks like fate is ensuring that we’ll have every opportunity to make sure people know that this is the Year of Selena Frost. I cannot say enough about Ravyn Taylor to give her the credit she is due. She nearly held the United States Championship for over a year. And trust me, that fact alone is not lost on me, especially as I’ve said recently I’d love an opportunity at that title. But again, it’s another challenge to show to myself and to everyone that I am getting closer and closer to my hope of being prepared to challenge for the World Title. I know some people may not care for what I said after I defeated Kelcey Wallace. Some have suggested I’m being too modest. Others have said I’m slapping them in the face. I don’t intend the latter and I really don’t feel I’m the former. I’m still growing as a competitor and I don’t feel I have yet peaked to a point where I feel comfortable receiving a World Title shot. That will happen at some point or another, but to have these challenges…they opportunities to prove that I am a contender…to prove that I am coming to that peak…to prove that I can take on any comer, especially the elite…It feels good to have them and I am honoured to have another one. Ravyn, I know very well what you can do in this ring and I intend to try and show I can match your efforts, move for move, step for step and even thought for thought and I look to prove to myself that I will someday be a great World Champion.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Spirit: “Thank you Selena. Enjoy the rest of the show. Back to ringside.”

 

Selena smiles as we cut back.

 

We see Bree Lancaster walking through the backstage area, clearly with a purpose. She then reaches into her jeans, pulling out her phone. She starts to phone someone.

 

Bree: “Come on Scott. Pick up…pick up. We need to-“

 

Just then, Bree turns the corner, stops, falls back, tripping over her feet a bit and dropping the phone. She then looks at it as the phone hits with a loud crack.

 

Bree: “You broke my phone, you-“

 

Bree looks up as Sienna Swann is seen standing over her.

 

Sienna: “Oh…what was that, honey? Were you going to finish that sentence? Let me help.”

 

Sienna walks over to the phone.

 

Sienna: “Bitch.”

 

Sienna then steps on the phone, ensuring it is ruined.

 

Bree: “My phone-“

 

Sienna: “Oh yeah. It’s your phone, but I’m sure Blake will just buy you a new one. I mean, given that you’ve been coming out, talking about class, being better than us. Probably has something to do with that. Probably also why you had to fake an injury and I’ve not forgotten.”

 

Bree: “I didn’t fake anything. Too bad you’re too busy thinking about how your ass looks in a thong-“

 

Bree starts to get up and Sienna shoves her back down.

 

Sienna: “Add your sniping about my World Title shot…your jealousy. You know Blake would rather have me, that’s why he pines for Kelcey….than someone like you.”

 

Bree: “You bit-“

 

???: “You son of a bitch. You want to take me out with your title-“

 

The camera turns to see Casey Holliday running down the hallway and heading towards Bree. Sienna then looks at Bree as Bree scrambles to her feet and gets up before backing up. We then see Scott Burnside running down the hallway.

 

Scott: “Breezy!”

 

Bree looks over and runs at him. Casey runs past Sienna, but Sienna stops her.

 

Casey: “Get off me.”

 

Bree: “You both stay away from me. You had your shots. You failed! Move on!”

 

Bree and Scott head off with Scott glancing back. Casey shove Sienna back.

 

Casey: “Get off of me. Why did you stop me?”

 

Sienna: “Because I don’t feel like listening to another tantrum if you get attacked by both of them again.”

 

Casey: “Oh go to hell. I’m dealing with tha.t”

 

Sienna: “Then deal with it in the ring…either by your Trios contract…or if Mr. D takes notice. But just realize, I am not done with her and I plan to make sure if she wants to be done with me, she has to do it legit. Whether you’re in the way or not.”

 

Casey just looks at Sienna as Sienna turns and walks off.

 

“Immortals” plays as we see a shot of William Hush, Sloan Sawyer and Diana Weston in the middle of the ring at Supreme Saturday.

 

Sharper: “Women’s Division heating up and at Supreme Saturday, we saw the stunning debut of William Hush. He will be out here next with Daughters of Darkness. What will they have to say? We’ll find out next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

We return to the sold-out arena, a roaring crowd suddenly silenced as darkness falls over them. Confusion buzzes through the crowd, a few phone flashlights popping up in the pitch black, when "Daughters of Darkness" by Halestorm begins to blast through the arena. Confusion quickly turns to disdain as boos now echo through the building, white strobe lights flashing across the stage rapidly. Soon after we see the Daughters of Darkness step out from behind the curtain, shadows against the white lights flashing behind them. As they stop at the top of the ramp, the lights stop and the arena is once again thrown into darkness. Pink and purple lights now light up the stage and ramp, and we see the team that walked out of their Supreme Saturday match triumphantly. Sloan wearing a huge grin on her face, along with a black shirt that once read "Silence is Golden" but "Perf" has been written over Golden. Even Diana has a smile on her face tonight, looking out at the booing crowd, Sloan rolls her eyes.

Sharper: "The Daughters of Darkness coming out of Supreme Saturday with a controversial win to say the least. William Hush, guest referee appointed by the Daughters of Darkness, did more than just make the three count."

Knots: "Yeah, he ensured that order was indeed maintained. These two ladies were told to prove themselves, and we've heard a million times that this is a cutthroat business, right? Well, The Sisterhood got their throats slit Saturday night."

As the duo make their way down the ramp, the lights in the arena return to normal, revealing the sea of people voicing their dislike for these two. Sawyer & Weston pay little mind to them, as it seems there's something far more pressing for them tonight. Reaching the end of the ramp, Weston sprints forward and slides in under the bottom rope, while Sloan goes up the steps and through the ropes. Diana pushes herself to her feet and as they stand in the center of the ring, the music begins to fade out. Sloan looks at Diana and holds her hand out, and as Di reaches into her pocket she pulls out a microphone covered top to bottom in silver glitter, with a hot pink "perf" written down the side, also in glitter. In the other pocket, Di pulls out a black microphone, which sparkles under the bright lights above the ring. Sloan and Diana look at each other as the fans still boo, but hardly wanting to wait, Diana turns her eyes towards the crowd and the camera.

Weston: "Have we proven ourselves yet? At Supreme Saturday, Sloan and I did exactly what we said we were going to do. It's the same thing that would have happened against Honor Code, if not for the tragic officiating that took place. It's like I said before the match, ladies, you couldn't pull this off and you settled for being another ordinary tag team. Like every other ordinary tag team we've faced, they crumble in the face of the extraordinary the wither at the sight of the Daughters. Of. Darkness! You can keep making us jump through hoops, and by the time we do take those Championships? You're not going to have a team left on this roster that we haven't beaten! PUNK HAZARD, The Sisterhood, they've already been sacrificed at the expense of this poor attempt to keep us from just showing up and upstaging every team in this company. But your plan is failing, because one by one, every team you've got is failing."

Diana lowers the mic as a loud "You Suck" chant can be heard from the crowd, Weston rolls her eyes while Sloan lifts her microphone up with a puzzled look.

Sawyer: "Really, what are you people, a bunch of five year olds? I mean seriously, can you at least try to be a teeny, tiny bit more mature for a change?"

Weston: "They're not going to listen Sloan, they never listen, just like the people in that locker room don't listen. We've warned them from the beginning, that we are the best team in this business today, and yet The Sisterhood had the audacity to call us second rate versions of them?”

Diana makes an audible noise of disgust, rolling her eyes as she lowers her microphone. Not even wanting to deal with the outlandish claims made by their last opponents, and giving Sloan the chance to take the floor.

Sawyer: “Second rate my foot! If Supreme Saturday proved anything, it’s that the Daughters of Darkness are heads and tails better than the Sisterhood could ever even hope to be. They stuck their noses where they didn’t belong and they paid for it. Just like anyone else who thinks about standing in our way. You know, I almost feel bad for Kay Kay and Angel Face. Almost. Because there’s obviously something wrong with their brains for them to ever think they could stand up against us and win.”

Sloan points to herself and Diana, shaking her head from side to side as the fans in the arena continue to boo loudly. Sloan shrugs them off and wags her finger at them, looking right back into the camera as she does.

Sawyer: “If anything, we did them a favor by beating them at Supreme Saturday. We made sure it was crystal clear just how big of losers they are, so now they can slink back to the shadows and stop pretending they have what it takes to play in the big leagues. This ain’t the same SCW it once was, ladies. This is our house now, and if we say you have no place around here anymore, then guess what? You have no flippin’ place. Like Di said, it’s only a matter of time before we have the SCW World Tag Team Championships around our waists and if we have to crush every single team in this place to get them? Then SCW will be left with no one to challenge us once we take our rightful place on top. The Sisterhood thinks they’re better than us? Well we know we’re better than them. We proved it.”

Weston: "But it doesn't matter who you think you are, we proved that we can outwrestle and outsmart one of the best teams this company has! Do you think that's going to change, that's what we do, the three of us."

Diana holds three fingers up with a smile, and the boos in the arena echo once more. Sloan seems to be annoyed with the level of disrespect from the crowd, shaking her head. Di however seems unphased by them at this point.

Weston: "I think we've talked about losers long enough, I think it's time to talk about a winner, what do you think, Sloan?"

Sawyer: "Totes time."

Weston's wicked grin only glows, while Sloan bounces excitedly on her heels, both of them having waited for this moment for a long, long time.

Weston: "Ladies and gentlemen, last Saturday night, we, the Daughters of Darkness were allowed to hand pick our very own referee. Now where other teams would have struggled to find someone they trust enough, we knew exactly who we needed to go to. We needed someone who knew what it was like to be in this ring, when there was everything on the line. We needed someone we knew would call that match right down the middle, and that's why there was only one person we could turn to. Only one person that we'd so willingly put our fate into the hands of, and it's safe to say that we made a good decision, right Sloan?"

Sloan looks at Diana, her eyes widened as she dances with glee, the fans in the arena still booing loudly. She nods her head at Diana and steps one foot out, planting it on the mat. She clears her throat and heads herself up, bringing her microphone to her mouth with a huge smile on her face, eager to say what she has to say.

Sawyer: “You bet your sweet behind we made a good decision, Di. Ladies and gentlemen, on Saturday night you didn’t just witness a totes perf Daughters of Darkness victory. You witnessed the beginning of the end for anyone who tries to stand in our way in this company. You witnessed history when our handpicked referee made his debut in this company. But instead of talking about it, how about we get him out here so that he can do the talking, hm?”

The fans boo even louder now, knowing who’s about to come out and not liking what little they’ve seen of him already. Sloan winks at Diana and clears her throat again, bringing the microphone back up and talking over the hate filled crowd in the arena.

Sawyer: “The man who is about to join us in the ring is not only the greatest VWA World Heavyweight Champion in existence, he’s also the greatest man to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. He’s wrestled all around the world, beaten countless people that all of you have called legends and did it all with ease. He is the only man that our former boss felt worthy enough to call his right hand man and one of the deadliest warriors to ever step foot in the squared circle. Ladies and gentlemen without further ado, I give to you the Salt Lake Savior, the Scottish Salvation, the Volatile Victor, the Sultan of Silence, the man who puts the Hush in Hush Money, our Brother of Darkness and totes my second best friend in the whole wide world, the Silencer of All... William Hush!”

The lights go dark and the Drill Sergeant introduction of “Psycho” by Muse hits.

“If you do not do what you're told to do when you're told to do it, you will be punished. Do you understand?
(Aye, sir!)
If you leave my base without proper authorization, I will hunt you down and throw your ass in jail. Do you understand?
(Aye, sir!)
I can't hear you!
(Aye, sir!)
Scream it!
(AYE, SIR!)
Your ass belongs to me now!”

Then the thudding, cerebral bass of Psycho proper kicks in and the crowd show Hush, who suddenly appears in a spotlight in the middle of the entrance ramp, exactly what they think of him. He’s beyond caring as the song kicks into third gear, blaring the bluesy modern rock through the PA system hard, almost shaking the walls. As Hush surveys the crowd, the spotlight widens and yellow and blue lights seemingly dance around the crowd in a random formation. Hush stomps down to the ring, confident, sure of himself and without a care in the world and ignoring every single fan on his way down.

As he climbs into the ring, the song hits it’s chorus:

“I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho!”

As soon as the word “psycho” hits, Hush raises his arms in the centre of the ring, causing yellow and blue pyrotechnics to explode from each of the four corners of the ring. Hush has never been one to ignore a spectacle and he’s drinking in the atmosphere. Being one of the most hated men in the world is a beautiful feeling to him, after all a negative reaction means he’s relevant and no reaction at all would be so much worse. Sloan and Diana applaud him into the ring and raise an arm each. This is a trio who thrive on causing trouble, and Supreme Championship Wrestling have a whole bunch of trouble on their hands now. Hush motions for a microphone, allowing Sloan and Diana to keep theirs. When the officials at ringside shrug, suggesting there are no spare microphones at this time, he points at Philips and demands to take his instead. Philips sighs and obliges.

Hush: “Good evening, Norfolk!”

Well no. The crowd are not biting to the cheap pop. Many know him from VWA and the rest certainly know him from Supreme Saturday. Scotsmen are known for their cheeky, jovial, friendly nature but this one has about as much friendliness as a Celtic bar when a Rangers fan walks in by mistake on Old Firm day.

Hush: “Well wasn’t that a lovely introduction, aye? These two angels are superb team mates, friends, and assets to whatever business they wrestle in. You may be upset that the Daughters of Darkness are here and you may not like their actions from time to time, but no-one can argue their success, nor their ability. So I want a round of applause for Sloan Sawyer and Diana Weston right now!”

Sharper: “Somehow, I don’t think that’s happening any time soon”

Sharper was right. The boos are near deafening. The heat is blistering. Of course, Hush knew this would be the case. Sloan and Diana pout in the ring, feigning giving a damn. Hush smirks.

Hush: “That exactly the reaction I was expecting, to be honest. See, SCW crowds, just like VWA crowds and crowds who follow every other wrestling company on this planet reject greatness. They love the underdog. They love those who pretend to be nice. They love fakes. You’re the equivalent of those idiots who follow internet vloggers as if they actually give a shit about any of you. One thing you’ll never get from us three is fakery. You’ll get us being damned honest one hundred percent of the time. We’ll outsmart everyone we come across. We’ll beat down all of those who get on our wrong sides. We will do nothing but speak the truth all day every day and that makes you all hate us. I’ll give you a brief history lesson.”

Hush pulls the microphone away from his mouth for a second, formulating his thoughts, surveying the crowd.

Hush: “I am a former two time VWA World Heavyweight Champion, the first ever VWA High Voltage Champion, technically a two-time HVW World Heavyweight Champion, the longest-reigning HVW Extreme Champion and the first and only VWA 40-person #1 Contender Battle Royale winner. Most of the bigger successes on that list came when people hated me the most, and they only hated me because I was working tirelessly to save the company they’d bought into. People liked me having the Titles which weren’t the Main Event ones. But as soon as I tasted true success, as soon as the real me was unshackled the crowds all turned on me. Suddenly I was the bad guy. Jealousy creates boos and listen to you all. SCW must have the most jealous fans in the business!”

Sloan and Diana both raise their arms to the audience, encouraging them to be louder. And louder they certainly are. Hush is playing to their every boo, manipulating their responses. He loves it.

Hush: “So why did I come to SCW? Well, I have a few reasons. VWA closed and I love wrestling too much to let it go so I went on the hunt for a suitable replacement, somewhere with a deep roster, talented stars and a great business outlook. I wasn’t going to some hokey shit-show where they could fold in six months through their own incompetence. No, SCW has a good management structure, mostly fine talent and the key to longevity. The only thing that sucks here are the referees. Sloan and Diana needed a man who could restore the balance, call things in such a way that the outcome started to go back to “the middle”. So, when I heard there was an opening in the roster I had to fill it and once I’d signed, for Sloan and Diana to make me the special referee in the match seemed the, er, perf way to announce my full time return to you all.”

Sharper: “And they executed it beautifully…”

 

Knots: “Even got the production crew in on it. Someone got paid off.”

 

The crowd boos.

Hush: “Kara Abheri, Bree Lancaster and Amy Chastaine wasted almost no time in jumping on my back when they found out I’d followed them to this hallowed land on Twitter. Frankly, I wasn’t here for any of those three and don’t have any plans to specifically take them on. I’m here to fight whoever is put in front of me. I’m here to tear a hole in this company just like I did the VWA. I’m here to make my presence felt and Silence all who oppose me and my girls. And that started with The Sisterhood on Supreme Saturday and continues with Sloan facing El Rudo later on. Wins? Losses? Titles? I don’t really care. I just want to bring every circle of Dante’s hell to this company. Especially the seventh one, and ensure that every single man, woman and child put in the ring with me and any combination of us lives just for long enough to regret signing a contract. The Silencer and Hush Money on Angelica and Kayla was just the start…”

Hush slots the microphone down the front of his shirt to it pokes out the collar by his chin so he can still speak hands-free before taking Sloan and Diana by a wrist each and raising their arms high in the air

Hush: “Because you’ve seen nothing yet.”

He just smirks as he turns and looks around.

 

Sloan Sawyer vs. El Rudo

 

All eyes goes to the entrance ramp where all of a suddenly El Rudo runs out, donning a black and green mask Glow in the Dark mask with a custom made black and jacket leather jacket with a PUNK HAZARD logo on the back and a logo of his mask right below and a mouth scarf covering his mouth. The masked man stands in the middle of the entrance ramp and soon raises a boombox in the air. As he hoist it up in the air, the opening to "Heroes Come Back" blare over the PA system as the lights soon start flashing green, silver and white. Alexis Quinne. Dante McCaffery and Grundy soon walk out, with Grundy having the PUNK HAZARD/Bay Area flag flag in his hands and Alexis having Rudo's salt bucket in hers. Sloan, Diana and Hush looking on unimpressed.

Phillips: "And her opponent, making his way to the ring, representing PUNK HAZARD, from Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, weighing in at one hundred and eighty pounds, El Rudo!"

El Rudo walks down to the ring and jumps up and down to his theme. Alexis, Dante and Grundy just look around as El Rudo is heard talking to the camera in his native language while rapping his theme that's playing over the PA and on the boombox. He then walks to the left side of the ring and then walks up the steel steps. Rudo turns around and nods his head back and forth to boos. He then ascends up the turnbuckle.

Because it's 3,2,1
MAKE SOME NOISE!

Rudo counts down before ending by flashing a thumbs down gesture. The lights dim briefly, which activates Rudo's glow in the dark mask. The crowd oohs and boos as Rudo then grabs his boombox and lifts it up in the air. Rudo nods his head up and down before scaling back down and entering the ring. The lights come back up. Rudo walks over to the corner where PUNK HAZARD is located. Alexis has placed Rudo's salt bucket on the apron as Rudo gives Alexis his boombox. Rudo takes off his jacket and then his glow in the dark mask, revealing his black and green mask. He exchanges a fist bump with Alexis before he talks with her and Dante on the outside about the match. Grundy starts on the outside.

Sharper: "Sloan Sawyer set to face PUNK HAZARD's El Rudo. Both representing their own factions, both looking to make statements."

Knots: "Sloan made her statements, she's just looking to win! El Rudo just needs to fail for that to happen."

Sharper: "Both are despicable, both have made names for being willing to go all out and neither care about the rules. It'll be an interesting match to say the least."

As soon as El Rudo slides into the ring, Sloan runs over and immediately begins bombarding him with stomps and knees. The referee calls for the bell just as El Rudo stands and rakes her eyes. She spins around from it clutching her face, El Rudo spinning her around about to go for a forearm smash, only to be met with a thumb to the eye and a dropkick to the face for his troubles. Sloan grabs his arm and wrenches it behind his back while pulling him back to his feet, using his arm to guide him more toward the center of the ring. He does a flip to the side to break out of the hold before pulling her in and connecting with boots to her gut, flipping her overhead with a monkey flip that sends her down on her back. He does a kip up back to his feet and spins just as she stands. He charges at her, Sloan using his momentum against him as she counters with a leg sweep that sends him face first into the second turnbuckle.

Sharper: "Both very quick competitors. We may be looking at an intense fast paced match up."

Knots: "Definitely an eye for an eye type, neither are going to just take the cheap shots from the other."

Sloan pulls El Rudo up from the corner before connecting with several forearm shots to the chin. Shoving him back into the corner she leaps up and drives her boots into his gut before going for a monkey flip of her own. El Rudo does a full flip, managing to land on his feet. He looks around seemingly proud of this before turning into another forearm shot to the jaw that knocks him back. Sloan grabs his arm and whips him into the ropes, waiting two seconds before chasing after him. As he bounces off the ropes he turns and is met with a flying clothesline that takes him to the mat. Sloan lays across the mat where she lands momentarily to raise an arm up and give a rock sign while sticking her tongue out at PUNK HAZARD there at the apron. She rolls over before standing back up, El Rudo already on his feet now meeting her with a running clothesline.

Sharper: "Probably shouldn't be taking time out of the match to taunt the gang waiting outside of the ring."

Knots: "At this stage I'm just waiting to see who's next to join the former VWA gang with the Daughters of Darkness and William Hush. We could have a new series of gang wars, Adam!"

El Rudo pulls Sloan back to her feet before whipping her into the ropes. He catches her upon coming back going for a tilt a whirl. Sloan manages to counter in mid air with an arm drag. El Rudo jumps up to his feet and turns, catching her with a hurricanrana that sends her flipping center in the ring. He turns before stomping her several times, pulling her back to her feet and connecting with a spinning palm strike to the side of the neck that knocks her reeling. Shoving her into the ropes he takes several steps back before running forward and doing a flipping attack onto her in the corner.

Knots: "What was that, a Mortal Kombat move? He's Kano!"

Sharper: "He's definitely an interesting one when it comes to offense."

Sloan falls over into a sitting position in the corner. El Rudo runs across the ring before throwing his arms up and turning to run at her. He lands in a near seated position over her head and starts connecting with pelvic thrusts to her head. Diana starts to stand up on the apron managing to distract the referee, Sloan immediately throwing her arm up and connecting with a low blow. Alexis and Grundy try to circle around, at which point Diana steps down and the referee turns only to have to focus on PUNK HAZARD. El Rudo falls back from the corner wincing.

Knots: "El Rudo hitting the bronco buster, may now be regretting it!"

Sharper: "The referee is trying to keep everything under control on both sides, Sloan Sawyer seizing the moment."

El Rudo turns only for Sloan to dive forward and punt him for another hard low blow. Before the referee turns back around she immediately pulls him in and rolls him up with an inside cradle. The referee drops down and begins making the count.


1! ...

"I'm No Good" begins to play as Sloan pulls herself up to her feet. She smirks while brushing herself off before rolling out of the ring to stand beside Diana and William Hush.

Sharper: "Sloan Sawyer steals this one!"

Knots: "Given her opponent it was going to come down to it being like this one way or the other. She struck the killing blows first!"

El Rudo slides out of the ring to join the rest of his unit as the Daughters of Darkness with William Hush begin to make their way up the ramp, Sloan Sawyer making taunting gestures, making o's with her thumb and index fingers around her eyes, watching them at ring side. She then drops them before putting an L up to her forehead and giving them a thumbs down.

 

The scene opens up backstage to see Adrenaline Rush watching the monitor backstage. Craig Thomas shakes his head

 

Craig: “Great. Another arrogant team.”

 

Kissinger: “Someone else in our way if we want to show what we can do Craig.”

 

Craig: “Sooner or later.”

 

Tyler then turns to them.

 

Tucker: “Why later though? Why not now?”

 

Kissinger: “What are ya thinkin’?”

 

Tucker: “Last week, I took on Rachel Foxx and won. I called her out. I got the m-match. I won. They got involved…and now this…acting like they’re b-better than anyone. I say we test that.”

 

Craig and Stacy look at each other.

 

Tucker: “W-we’re not gonna get ignored. W-we have goals. Let’s test this Hush guy.”

 

Kissinger: “I’m on board.”

 

Craig: “Then let’s find the boss.”

 

Adrenaline Rush turn and head off as the scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown opens up backstage, now outside of the locker room of Ravyn Taylor and Dark Fantasy. We see Spirit Dansby standing next to Ravyn Taylor.

 

Spirit: “I am now with Ravyn Taylor here backstage at the Norfolk Scope. Ravyn, earlier, we found out that you would be facing Selena Frost at Under Attack in a battle of two of the top stars in the company. She also made some comments, including that she is honoured to have this match and that she will do what can to match your effort, moves, steps and even thoughts.”

 

Ravyn: “An interesting preposition for the woman who has her True Believers and trust me, belief will be needed for her in this one.”

 

Ravyn pauses.

 

Ravyn: “I could suggest that Selena Frost is modest or insulting, much as others have said and as she pointed out. See, I was listening. But instead, I am going to suggest that she needs to realize that she cannot play the sheepish child who is in constant aww-shucks mode. I think she knows this, but yet, at times, she plays it up, politely explaining how she doesn’t feel the time is right and yet, demanding, and rightfully, the respect that comes with her Year of Selena Frost. But as last Saturday demonstrated, we as a roster are aware of how dangerous you are and your holds and your kicks. You no longer can duck under the radar and I’m unsure if that’s what you intend to do. You certainly enjoy the spotlight and you certainly want those opportunities and yet, the modesty. Perhaps you are a rare breed, but more importantly, Saturday proved that you’re now the one with a target on your back as you’ve proven how dangerous you are in the ring. I’d like to welcome you to the club. I’ve had that same problem for a while. And both of us have some success in still thriving under those circumstances. But against each other, while a draw is possible, it’s not something either of us want. And for me, it’s merely a win. Especially against someone like you. For you, it’s more credibility. It’s more momentum. I’m sorry, but I plan to stall it. And I will enjoy doing so. Quoth the Ravyn, Nevermore!”

 

Ravyn turns and walks back into the Dark Fantasy locker room. Spirit watches her leave as we cut away.

 

Autumn Valentine vs. Shaun Cruze

 

The lights dim slightly and the spotlights point down at the stage as the fans quieten in expectation. A woman whispering can be heard across the PA system.

 

“Don’t bless me father, for I have sinned...”


“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless begins playing across the PA system as the fans cheer. After a few seconds Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage with a smile on her face, standing in the middle of the spotlights for a moment before spinning around and holding out her arms downward, revealing the words “DARK FANTASY” on the back of her ring jacket. The SCW World Tag Team Championship belt is around her shoulder

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


Autumn spins back around, a smile on her face as she begins walking down the ring.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is your main event of the evening. On her way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California, she is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Autumn Valentine!”

 

She slaps a few hands of the fans on one side of the entrance ramp before running down the remaining distance to the ring and jumping up onto the ring apron and then leaping onto the middle turnbuckle. She stands there for a second before flipping over into the ring and landing on her feet, then dropping to her knees and posing in the ring. The fans cheer again before Autumn gets back to her feet and removes her ring jacket, placing it down into the corner before running to the other side of the ring and leaping onto the middle rope in the middle of the ring, posing there for a moment with one foot on the middle rope and one on the bottom, balancing there before flipping back over again.

 

Sharper: “Main event time here on Breakdown. A bit of a preview of the World Tag Team Championship match at Under Attack. Autumn Valentine and Gable Winchester will defend their titles against Honour Code.”

 

Knots: “And AJ Helms is pacing back and forth already, thanks to losing the TV Title. Now Cruze wants to end tonight on a bit of a good note for the team. That is unless he’s not big on messages. Give me a break.”

 

Sharper: “He didn’t feel like he needed to talk before Supreme Saturday. He gets it done in the ring. We’ll see tonight.”

 

The opening rifts of ‘Invincible’ by Adelito’s Way hit over the PA system, a raft of explosions rocking the entrance way, leaving the stage in a cloud of smoke. Through the smoke steps Shaun and Angyalka to a tremendous reaction, both jeers and cheers filling the arena with noise

Phillips: “Her opponent, currently heading to the ring and accompanied by the Hungarian Angel, Angyalka Cruze, he is the Impact Player, Shaun Cruze!”

The noise steps up a level as Shaun makes his way down the ramp holding Angyalka’s hand, more explosions rocking the ramp as they pass. At the bottom of the ramp he pauses, and looks left and right over the crowd and smiling before giving Angyalka a kiss on the cheek. He then slides under the bottom rope and gets to his feet, bouncing off the far ropes and then standing in the centre of the ring. Once again he looks out over the crowd, before punching his right hand into the arm, a final flurry of pyro exploding from the ring posts.

 

Sharper: “Cruze ready to go, joined by Angyalka. Both individuals do not have their tag partners out here.”

 

Knots: “Maybe for the best given the tension between Autumn and Gable. Or at least what Autumn is saying. Some trouble in dystopian paradise!”

 

The bell sounds. Autumn walks around as Cruze watches her. The two then lunge at one another and Autumn drops down to go for the legs. Cruze blocks it and grabs her in a gutwrench. He hoists her up and the crowd roars. He turns and suplexes her over. Autumn winces, holding her back. She starts to get up and turns and goes for the legs again. Cruze grabs her again and pulls her up and throws her over with another gutwrench suplex. Autumn turns and grabs at the ropes. Cruze grabs her and whips her across the ring. She bounces off and Cruze lifts her up with a huge back body drop. Autumn rolls over and to the ropes again. Cruze runs over and Autumn pulls down on the top rope, but Cruze stops and knees Autumn in the ribs. He pulls her out and hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex. He promptly floats over for the pin.

Autumn kicks out.

 

Sharper: “Bad start for Autumn in this one. Cruze just overpowering her every step of the way.”

 

Knots: “Well maybe Cruze wants to end this fast.”

 

Autumn stirs and Cruze grabs her and lifts her up before scooping her up and slamming her down. Autumn stirs and starts to get up and Cruze grabs her and whips her into the corner. Cruze runs after Autumn and Autumn gets both boots up. Cruze staggers back. Autumn turns and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle before Cruze runs back in. She jumps up and wraps her legs around the head of Cruze before taking him down with a headscissors, driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. Autumn gets up and Cruze turns around and Autumn hits a dropkick. Cruze falls back into the corner. Autumn gets up and goes to the middle of the ring before running after Cruze and hitting a running dropkick. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Hard dropkick and Autumn striking fast.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and using her quickness. This would be a lot easier if she just got a good shot in to the head. Knock him out. That’ll end it.”

 

Sharper: “Well, right now, she’s trying to just get control and let herself come up with some plan.”

 

Cruze grabs at the ropes. Autumn grabs him and pulls him out before forcing him down with a running facebuster. She goes for the pin.

Cruze kicks out. Both competitors start to get up and Cruze turns to Autumn and Autumn kicks him in the ribs and forearms him in the jaw before kicking him again. She turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Cruze runs forward and nails her with a high knee. Autumn hits the mat and starts to get up. Cruze quickly lifts her up and hits a backbreaker. Autumn hits the mat and Cruze goes for the pin.

Autumn kicks out. She turns and Cruze grabs her and pulls her up. He then hits a back suplex. Autumn remains down as Cruze gets up. He exits to the apron and then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd cheers as Cruze gets to the top and straddles the turnbuckle to get ready, but Autumn suddenly gets up and runs over and nails him with a forearm. She climbs up to the top rope as quickly as she can and jumps up, hitting a top rope frankensteiner. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Autumn wasn’t down enough. Runs up and hits the frankensteiner! From the top!”

 

Knots: “Just like AJ earlier. Some crash and burn!”

 

Autumn turns and crawls over to Cruze. She hooks the leg.

Cruze pushes her off. Cruze slowly rolls over as Autumn gets up. Cruze turns and gets over to the ropes. Autumn runs into the ropes. She bounces and hits a front dropkick to the back of Cruze. Cruze falls into the middle rope. Autumn turns and exits to the apron. She runs over and jumps up and hits a leg drop to the back of Cruze’s head. Cruze falls back. Autumn turns and climbs up to the top rope. She looks around before diving off and going for a top rope splash, but Cruze gets his knees up. Autumn rolls through and holds her ribs, clearly in pain. Cruze then gets up and grabs her and hits a bridging German suplex.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Autumn kicks out just in time. She rolls over as Cruze starts to get up. We then see Gable start to head out from the back. Cruze grabs Autumn and pulls her up before whipping her into the ropes. Autumn bounces off and Cruze scoops her up onto his shoulder before hitting a powerslam.

 

Sharper: “Gable Winchester coming down. I don’t know if that will help or hurt. Obviously concerned about Autumn.”

 

Knots: “May be able to tell her soon. Cruze looks about ready to end this.”

 

Cruze turns and grabs Autumn. He starts to lift her up. Gable walks around the ring and Cruze whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Cruze scoops her up and hits a sidewalk slam. He turns and walks over to her legs. He grabs them before Autumn frantically kicks at them, kicking him in the leg and then the shoulder for getting a shot to the head. Cruze lets go and turns around. He then runs back at Autumn and Autumn hits a spinning heel kick. Gable applauds as Autumn rolls over. She starts to get up as Gable walks around. AJ Helms then runs down to the ring. He looks at the ring as Autumn goes to the apron and starts to climb up to the top rope. Cruze starts to get up and Autumn looks at Cruze and Cruze stirs. AJ heads to the ring and goes over to Angyalka before jumping up onto the apron, onto his knee, overzealously cheering on Cruze. But to hold on, he grabs the top rope and Autumn slips and staggers on the top rope. She leans forward. Cruze runs over and grabs her and press slams her off. AJ then jumps back, realizing he was getting involved when Gable walks around the ring and snaps at AJ.

 

Sharper: “AJ coming down and being a bit too much in his cheering for Cruze. Obviously hoping this night ends better than its gone for him.”

 

Knots: “Jumped onto the apron, got Autumn to lose her balance and Cruze took advantage.”

 

Sharper: “Now Gable is going on and no doubt he’s probably trying to make sure Autumn knows he’s got her back, but here’s a pin!”

 

Cruze hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Autumn gets her shoulder up. Cruze looks up as Gable and AJ start to get into each other’s faces. Gable points to the ropes as AJ starts to get into his face more, obviously showing some of his frustrations boiling over. Cruze turns and walks over to them. He snaps at them to stop before telling AJ to back off.  Autumn gets up, holding her back and sees Cruze. She runs over and dropkicks him in the back. He goes through the ropes and lands onto AJ a bit and Gable. The crowd ohs. Cruze slowly rolls over as AJ moves back. Angyalka helps him up as Gable turns. AJ then turns and Autumn exits and goes down to check on Gable. Cruze starts to get up as AJ climbs up the steps and then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. The referee tells him to get down. Cruze turns and sees Autumn before Gable looks up a AJ dives off to land on Autumn and Gable, but Gable pulls Autumn out of the way and AJ lands on both Cruze and Gable. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “AJ Helms off the top! What in the world was he thinking?”

 

Knots: “He wasn’t. I think he’s just so frustrated, he tried to attack Gable and Autumn!”

 

Sharper: “And he only got Gable and his own partner!”

 

Autumn then turns and looks at this before running over and grabbing Cruze. She drags him up as best as she can and rolls him into the ring. Autumn rolls in and Cruze stirs only for a moment before Autumn grabs him and hits the Pink Whisper. She goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and Autumn rolls off. AJ rolls over on the floor, holding his ribs. Angyalka just shakes her head at him as Gable starts to get up.

 

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

 

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine takes advantage of the miscommunication and the tension between these two teams just grew quickly!”

 

Knots: “In a big way. And AJ and Cruze not even on the same page. But just the fact that Autumn took advantage of that. That’s big. No more respect governing everything here!”

 

Autumn gets up and has her arm raised. She exits to the floor and Gable starts to get up. Autumn walks over to him and Gable checks on her. Autumn says she’s okay as Cruze stirs. AJ just looks around and punches the barricade in anger as we cut away.

 

COMMERCIAL:

 

Breakdown returns as we see AJ Helms storming down the hallway with Angyalka and Shaun Cruze a few strides behind.

 

Shaun: “AJ!”

 

Helms stops and turns.

 

Shaun: “What are you doing out there?”

 

AJ: “I screwed up, okay. I screwed up again! Missed another big move.”

 

Shaun: “It happens, but what was that? Getting in Gable’s face. Then attacking him when he wasn’t ready-“

 

AJ: “I screwed up!”

 

Shaun: “That wasn’t a screw up. It was a choice. I get tonight wasn’t a great one for you, but-“

 

AJ: “I lost my first title tonight, to someone who helped train me!”

 

Shaun: “And use that to help us win the Tag Titles then.”

 

AJ: “Yeah…sure.”

 

AJ turns and storms off. Cruze just looks down and shakes his head as Angyalka comforts Shaun.

 

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

She turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words ‘JUST BE JEALOUS’ accompanied by her heart-logo. She spins back around before pointing toward the ring and starting to head down toward it, slapping hands on her way down to ringside. Once at ringside she jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the cheering fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little to another cheer from the fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring, climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air. After a few seconds of posing she blows a kiss out to the crowd and jumps down, walking across the ring to the other side where again she stands on the middle turnbuckle, waving at the fans and blowing another kiss out to the crowd. She hops down and goes to the corner.

 

Sharper: “We saw her challenger for Under Attack out earlier and antagonize Regan Street.”

 

Knots: “Completely an idiot. But now we get Syren out here and who knows what she’ll say.”

 

Sharper: “Her first comments, at least on TV, since she found out who she’ll be defending her title against, one Ace Marshall.”

 

Syren takes a microphone waiting for her and walks over to the middle of the ring. She looks around as the crowd cheers her. She continues to look around as her music fades out.

 

Syren: “So I’m facing Ace Marshall at Under Attack and defending this title against him.”

 

The crowd cheers. She smiles a bit.

 

Syren: “It’s an interesting night as we’ll have the Chamber match. We’ll have Kelcey Wallace apparently doing anything to defend her spot. We’ll have two people who hate each other battle in an unsanctioned match and to cap it all off, we’ll have Ace Marshall challenging me, in a rematch from the first Breakdown after Rise to Greatness and this time, James Evans won’t be trying to end either one of our careers. But we may have to worry about someone else…the Hellcat, a woman who can’t just realize she’s becoming out classes and throwing a God damned temper tantrum is not going to help.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh boy…”

 

Knots: “Not holding back.”

 

Syren: “It seems like Ace and I can’t just have a match to ourselves because some raving lunatic needs to get involved. I didn’t back down from James Evans and he still acts like he’s got the cards there when he ran from me. But Regan, just like him, I have no problem going up to you. Just go back to Rise to Greatness, it’s what’s pissing you off for months anyways! And it’s going to be great for you to need to stand back and watch as myself and someone who did grow up and did rise to the opportunity, Ace Marshall, compete for this…the richest prize in this sport.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Syren: “And I saw what you did against Christy Matthews, another person I know well. We’ve even gotten to know each other better thanks to all of this James. And there’s one thing I learned quite clearly by talking with you backstage, and that’s you do care and you do give a damn about this. But you know the same thing about me. I am willing to do anything to hold onto this title and as I stand here, in a historic reign, I know that you’ll do everything to win the title back. In fact, every pay per view event this year, the World Championship changed hands or frankly, it should have. Retribution, Amy Chastaine won it, Taking Hold of the Flame, Ace, you did. James Evans then won it at Rise to Greatness and I regained it at Apocalypse. I plan to end that streak in eleven days. I plan to make sure Under Attack is not another night where SCW’s roster reminded the world it’s the best ever. Instead, I plan to show them that their World Champion is as good as anyone else. And we’re now friends, or at least allies, and it’s odd saying that Ace. But out of respect, I wouldn’t give you anything less. It’s a different sort of test. Similar to what I had with Amy. Where we pushed each other. It’s not a situation with Regan or James, or in your case, with Kennedy Street lurking, it’s two people who have proven they should be in the same mentions as this World Title and damn it, we’re going to prove that to the world…with me proviing I’m a bit better-“

 

The crowd roars as we see Regan Street running down from the back. Syren notices her and actually rolls her eyes as Regan slides into the ring. She gets up and Syren turns and Regan runs at her and goes for a clothesline. Syren ducks and drops her World Title. Regan bounces off the other side and runs at Syren. They grab at each other and Regan forces her down and nails her a couple of times with some hard right hands before Syren rolls over and nails her with a couple of shots.

 

Sharper: “Regan Street is standing backstage and obviously, she’s in no frame of mind to ignore this.”

 

Knots: “Earlier, she couldn’t get her hands on Ace. She’s now getting her hands on Syren!”

 

Sharper: “And she hates both of them!”

 

Syren nails Regan a couple of times and both get up and nail each other with a couple of shots before Regan rakes her eyes and nails her with a few hard shots to the side of the head. The crowd ohs as we then hear another roar as Ace Marshall runs out from the back, as does Ravyn Taylor. They head down to the ring and slide in as Ace Marshall gets up.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall! Ravyn Taylor! They’re coming out too!”

 

Knots: “And together! Where the hell is Platinum?”

 

Sharper: “They’ve not all been on the same page, at least with Regan, for months!”

 

Regan turns and nails him with a hard right and then another. Ravyn slides into the ring and runs over and starts to pull Regan off. Regan nails her with a shot, but she gets her back as Ace steps forward too. He nails Regan, knocking her back. Syren gets up and starts to go over as Ravyn turns and holds her back. Ace then moves in and nails Regan with a shot to the jaw and then a kick. Officials runs out from the back. They run down and enter the ring. Ace nails Regan again as Ravyn keeps Syren off as she tries to get past to get to Regan. The officials run over and get Ace away from Regan. Ace backs off as Regan is held back in the corner. A few stand between Syren and Ravyn and Regan and also a number of others keep Ace back. We then see Mr. D walk out from the back, with a microphone.

 

Mr. D: “Stop it! Stop it! Everyone stop it! Regan! You especially! I’m tired of this!”

 

The crowd roars a bit. Regan keeps seething as she just glares at Syren and then past her to Mr. D .

 

Mr. D: “We have a World Title match between two great competitors and I already know there’s no way to keep you from getting involved without outright firing you and trust me, I thought of that. I thought of doing that tonight just to ensure Syren and Ace could have the match they deserve! But your hatred for everything is off the page!”

 

Mr. D then pauses as the camera cuts to Syren, then Ace and finally Regan.

 

Mr. D: “So I’m going to do this….”

 

Mr. D pauses for a moment.

 

Mr. D: “I’m putting Regan in the match too.”

 

The crowd roars. Syren turns and snaps at Mr. D as Ace just looks confused as Regan smiles.

 

Sharper: “What?”

 

Knots: “Whoa!”

 

Mr. D: “But not as a competitor.”

 

The crowd roars as Regan’s smile disappears. Syren just looks unsure. Ace still looks confused.

 

Mr. D: “Regan…much like your cousin, you need to remember a few things. And since I already know you’ll do anything you can to get involved, I’m going to let you be involved. You’re going to be the special guest referee for the World Championship match at Under Attack, but with a couple of conditions….The first is that it is your responsibility to keep anyone from interfering and trust me, a few people may try it. Use your anger there. But this is the one that’s far more important, Regan…”

 

Regan is just seething.

 

Mr. D: “There must be a winner and you MUST count the fall. You will learn some humility at Under Attack and when you count that fall, you may get a sense finally of what it takes to be a World Champion, since acting like a complete enraged madwoman damn sure isn’t it and Regan, if you physically assault Syren or Ace or you fail to count that fall or acknowledge that submission….You will forfeit your opportunity to ever compete for the World Title again.”

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Regan Street is the special referee and she has to count the fall of winner, who in either case, she hates more than anyone else!”

 

Knots: “What the hell is he thinking? Putting her in charge?!”

 

Sharper: “Even Syren and Ace aren’t sold…and I don’t blame them. But if Regan doesn’t count it, her failure to win the title, it’s on her. She’ll forfeit her chance to ever compete for it! What a bombshell here on Breakdown. What a way to end this show!”

 

Syren just looks stunned as Ravyn even looks a bit confused. Ace then just chuckles as he looks at Regan. Regan just glares at him as Mr. D looks at the ring before returning to the back as Syren turns to Regan as the scene fades to black…
