“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

I'm thinking about the old me

'Cause I've been feeling empty

I never used to be so dead inside

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

I think I lost my memory

I can't remember carefree

And all my days turn into fight or flight

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

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

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

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

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

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

Trying to get back to who I used to be

Where is the old me?

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

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “We are live from Minneapolis, Minnesota and tonight, the World Title will be on the line. Gavin Taylor challenges Xander Valentine in the All-Star Extravaganza!”

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

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here at ringside alongside Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots and tonight, big night.”

Lyman: “Big night for Gavin Taylor. He says this is going to be the biggest night of his career. Not only that, Xander Valentine has made clear he won’t be giving up that title without a massive fight. Someone is leaving Minneapolis very disappointed.”

Knots: “Yeah, well while you’ll be watching that, I’ll be seeing if we’ll have a new US Champion number one contender. That’s right. Polly Playtime is going to face Glory Braddock. And if she wins, she’s got the shot!”

Sharper: “All part of her desire to get more attention, to take advantage of the spotlight. Not only that, but we’ll see Konrad Raab, one week removed from losing the TV Championship, he’ll be looking for blood and he may get it in an underground contest against Sarah Wolf!”

Knots: “Get the tarp out!”

Sharper: “On a cold night in Minneapolis. Here we go!”

“You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell plays throughout the arena. The crowd cheers. A few moments pass before Shaun Cruze walks out from the back.

Sharper: “And kicking us off is our Commissioner, Shaun Cruze.”

Lyman: “Many questions in the air. The US title situation. Who will challenge for the SCW World Title at Under Attack? And we also have these invitations from Ducky and what does that mean?”

Knots: “Means we need to start having those answers. People want to know!”

Cruze walks down the rampway on his way to the ring. The crowd continues to greet him positively as he reaches the ring. He walks up the steel steps and into the ring before walking across. He waves at a few fans before going over to the corner where a microphone waits for him on the apron. Cruze takes it and steps back, moving to the middle of the ring. His music fades out as he looks at the crowd and nods.

Cruze: “Thank you. Thank you everyone.”

The crowd cheers a bit.

Cruze: “SCW is rolling along toward Under Attack. And with the Trios Tournament contracts all being cashed in short time and order, it’s led to some uncertainty, but also a lot of unpredictability. Just over a month ago, Xander Valentine returned and won the World Title against Adam Allocco!”

The crowd cheers.

Cruze: “Tonight, Gavin Taylor allows us to experience the All-Star Extravaganza when he challenges for the World Title himself!”

The crowd cheers louder. Cruze nods.

Cruze: “And I can confirm that Ducky, on behalf of Nicole Kinneck, has cashed in her contract and some sort of Birthday Bash will take place next week. Now I’m still on the outside of some of the details, but the Board of Directors has signed off on it. Ducky has invited a few people. There will be a World Championship opportunity to the winner to be granted at a later date. And other than that, I’ve been told to expect the unexpected.”

The crowd roars some more. Cruze nods.

Cruze: “I know…but I wish I could tell you more. But you’ll have to tune in next week!”

Sharper: “Even the commish is in the dark.”

Lyman: “That seems odd…”

Cruze looks around.

Cruze: “But that means I turn my attention to Under Attack and a night that usually has been punctuated by one of the biggest matches in the SCW Calendar year…the Chamber Match!”

The crowd roars. Cruze nods.

Cruze: “Where six individuals enter the solid steel and chain structure of the Chamber, where their careers may be shortened and all for a major opportunity. And this year, I’ve decide what that opportunity will be for.”

Cruze looks around.

Cruze: “And-“

Before Cruze can continue, he gets cut off by Glory Braddock who manages to make her way to the SCW interview area. She has Jessica Winters by the arm.

Glory: “We on?”

Jessica: “Yeah, yeah…look at the monitor.”

Cruze turns to the big screen.

Glory: “Good.”

Cruze: “Glory, what do you want?”

Glory turns to the monitor and sees and hears Cruze addressing her and smiles before turning back to the camera. She lets go of Jessica Winters and straightens the SCW United Kingdom Championship over her shoulder.

Glory: “Making sure you are crystal clear before you say something you’re going to regret. Just in case you had any hope of making the Chamber match for MY United Kingdom Championship…let me be clear – there is no one who has earned a shot at my title. Polly Playtime may tonight and that’ll be great for her, but she needs to prove she can beat me first!”

Glory looks at the camera.

Glory: “No more of this BS about people getting opportunities when they’ve earned nothing. No more Danny Darko’s using me to get a payoff. No more people coasting on their pasts. No more people who prove they can’t get it done in the ring, having an off night, getting a free pass to a rematch when I had to earn mine. So Shaun…let me make sure you and I are on the same page.”

Glory pauses.

Glory: “The Chamber match will not be for the SCW United Kingdom Championship.”

The crowd boos as Cruze looks at the big screen.

Cruze: “First off, Glory – if I was booking it, I would be booking you in your position as SCW United States Champion!”

The crowd roars. Glory shakes her head.

Glory: “Come on Shaun. Fellow Brit. You have to be smiling about this-“

Cruze: “There aren’t too many things I’m smiling about given the news from across the pond, Glory…But as far as I, and SCW is concerned, you are the US Champion and for the record, I’ve not yet signed a match.”

Glory: “So not the Chamber?”

Cruze: “Not the Chamber. As you said…tonight, you have a contendership match against Polly. Polly may be next in line.”

Glory: “Only Polly, right?”

Cruze: “At this point, that’s all I have to say.”

Glory: “Good-“

Cruze: “Too bad I couldn’t tell you this to your face, in this ring…to make you feel a bit better.”

Glory stops and smirks.

Glory: “Yeah…uh huh.”

Glory turns and heads off camera. The crowd boos as Cruze turns back to the main camera.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson threatening Glory Braddock that every time she comes to the ring, he’ll be there and looking to choke her out.”

Lyman: “Cruze knows that too. Another interesting wrinkle.”

Cruze: “Now before I was rudely interrupted by our US Champion…Allow me to announce what will happen at Under Attack!”

The crowd cheers again.

Cruze: “See, at Under Attack, in the Chamber Match-“

“The Offering” by Sleep Token starts to play. The crowd takes a few moments to realize who it is as Cruze is interrupted again and turns as Datura then walks out from the back, wearing her SCW Adrenaline Championship. The crowd rises to their feet cheering.

Sharper: “Another champion has something to say!”

Knots: “This ingrate! This horrible ingrate!”

Datura looks around and listens to the crowd, letting a smile slip. She then starts to walk down to the ring. Cruze looks at her and nods at her. Datura walks around the ring and goes over to the timekeeper’s table and Jason Phillips. Datura asks for a microphone. He hands her a microphone. Datura thanks him and turns to the ring, walking up the steel steps.

Datura: “Shaun!”

The crowd cheers as her music fades out. Datura steps along the apron and then enters into the ring. She walks forward to Shaun Cruze.

Datura: “I can’t help but be standing backstage, listening to you talk about Under Attack, and as I stand here, finally holding gold for the first time in my SCW career. Well, I still am waiting to see who will be next with Holly Adams tucking her tail and running. Clamidiya…you said she won’t get a rematch and the Brand has been gone for a bit, all thanks to their ‘off season.’”

The crowd boos as Datura looks around.

Datura: “Yeah, I know. I was hoping to shut her up myself. But…”

Cruze: “Let me guess. Is the Adrenaline Championship on the line in the Chamber Match?’

Datura: “You read my mind. I want to know what I’m getting into. I want to know what stands ahead of me. Because I want to step up to anything that comes my way!”

The crowd cheers again as Datura looks at Cruze. Cruze nods.

Cruze: “And I can respect that.”

Sharper: “A very different attitude than the US Champion we just heard from.”

Cruze: “But Datura…I’m not putting the Adrenaline Championship on the line in the Chamber Match. I have something else in mind.”

Datura looks down and nods, looking a bit disappointed.

Datura: “Then you and I need to talk, because I want to know who is going to come for this.”

Datura points at her title.

Cruze: “Meet me at my office when I’m done here and we’ll talk.”

Datura: “Good. Also, pencil me in for Holly Adams when she’s back from her off season. I returned and wanted nothing to do with her…oh that’s changed. That’s damn sure changed!”

The crowd roars.

Cruze: “Done.”

Datura nods and turns and walks back over to the corner. She places the microphone down on the apron before backing up and looking at Cruze again. She steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. The camera follows her as she walks around the ring. She then heads to the rampwawy and starts to head to the back. Cruze turns back to the crowd.

Cruze: “Before I get interrupted again…no offense…”

Datura turns back and smirks before she continues to the back.

Cruze: “But I’ve decided with so much flux and so much opportunity, that this year, the Chamber Match will see six individuals compete and the winner will receive an SCW World Championship opportunity at Breakdown on December 1!”

The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “A huge opportunity! Big opportunities all around here in SCW!”

Lyman: “Well who will be in the match?”

Cruze: “And tonight and next week, I will announce which six members of the SCW roster will enter the Chamber and have their opportunity! Thank you and enjoy the rest of the show!”

The crowd applauds as Cruze steps back. “You’ll Know My Name” plays throughout the arena as the crowd looks on.

Knots: “There’s your answer! We’re going to find out. But what this means…all of the titles for Under Attack, all of them save from the Chamber, but what else awaits them!”

Sharper: “And no doubt many are going to be looking to get people’s attention here for these opportunities!”

Cruze places the microphone on the apron by Jason Phillips. Cruze then walks across the ring and steps through the ropes. He then walks down the steel steps and to the floor. Cruze then starts to walk to the back.

Sharper: “Big night tonight.”

Knots: “Yeah and Cruze is going to be busy. Datura already going to be waiting for him!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We open up with a shot of a spa. We can hear the sound of harps in the background. We then see a blonde face down on a massage table. We see a male masseuse working on the shoulders and upper back of the blonde. The blonde continues to look down in the table as shots of the masseuse continues to dominate the vignette. We then cut to a camera shot underneath the table, through the head pillow, showing that the blonde in question is Holly Adams.

Adams: “Just reminding you all that I’m on my off-season. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch about all of your Life Coaching, Pet Coaching, and Sage Cleansing needs, among others, for when I return. When will that be? Well, so many things go into that decision. Most importantly is making sure that I’m am relaxed with a clear head after the abuse and harassment I, and those in the Holly Adams Brand Life Coaching Platinum Program, trademarked, have suffered.”

Adams lets out a grunt, more from relaxation, and pauses.

Adams: “Just focusing on the relaxation. The clear mind…and returning to helping me when I can.”

Adams smiles. She then looks down.

Adams: “Until then, send me your Vines and your Facebook posts letting me know of your interests. Holly Adams Brand approved vendors and operators are standing by to take your credit card information while I’m away.”

The camera cuts to a wide shot of Holly continuing to be worked on as the Holly Adams Brand logo comes up on the screen. It then slowly fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Datura waiting outside of the office of Shaun Cruze. Shaun Cruze returns from the ring and walks over.

Datura: “Took you long enough.”

Cruze: “Unfortunately, people always want my time. But now you have it.”

Datura: “Good. After you…let’s chat.”

Cruze: “Alright. Come on in.”

Cruze steps into his office. He holds the door open and Datura walks in after him. The scene cuts away.

Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO vs. Ace Sky vs. Savannah Sunshine vs. Alexis Quinne

A rocket drops from the top of the entrance set to the stage and there is a countdown voice over.

5!

1!

“Eye In The Sky” by The Alan Parsons Project play as Ace Sky walks out in an aviator jacket and his usual in ring attire. He salutes a peace sign and jogs down the aisle way high-fiving as many fans as possible on both sides.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, from Houston, Texas, he is Ace Sky!”

Ace Sky dashes forward and leaps upon the apron and flings himself in with a front flip followed by a series of three front handsprings and a rolling savate kick. He then looks around as Wolf sizes him up. He backs up to his corner, taking off his jacket and preparing for battle.

Sharper: “This should be a lot of fun. Four very different competitors about to clash in what could be in some ways an Adrenaline primer here.”

Lyman: “Going to function like one. No countouts thanks to the fatal fourway rules. But we’ll see what happens here.”

As the sounds of “Running up that Hill” begin to fill the air, blue and pink cotton candy colored lights swirl over the crowd before coming to swirl over the entrance ramp. a singular figure standing at the top of the ramp with their back towards the crowd. their head is bowed slightly, but if you could see them, you could see the slight smirk on their lips. the crowd cheers in anticipation, clapping their hands along to the beat of the music.

IT DOESN’T HURT ME. DO YOU WANNA’ FEEL HOW IT FEELS?
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW, KNOW THAT IT DOESN’T HURT ME?
DO YOU WANNA’ HEAR ABOUT THE DEAL I’M MAKING?
YOU, IT’S YOU AND ME.

Kate bush’s vocals finally hit the air and the figure spins around just before the chorus hits. clapping their hands as they run towards the right side of the ramp. The lights coming to life as SAVANNAH SUNSHINE makes her presence known. Sporting a leather jacket with the words QUEEN OF CANDYLAND on the back of it, she’s in high spirits as she gets the crowd pumped. Rushing over towards the other side of the ramp before making her way towards the ring.

AND IF I ONLY COULD, I’D MAKE A DEAL WITH GOD.
AND I’D GET HIM TO SWAP OUR PLACES.
BE RUNNING UP THAT ROAD. BE RUNNING UP THAT HILL.
BE RUNNING UP THAT BUILDING. SAY, IF I ONLY COULD.

Savannah soaks up the cheers from the fans as she makes her way towards the ring, singing loudly along with the music. Her hands and arms stretching as wide as they could to touch hands with as many fans as possible. As she reaches the ring finally, she climbs up the steel steps and stops to wipe her boots on the apron, before climbing over the middle rope and into the ring. the fans are electric as CANDYLAND’S GREATEST EXPORT does a little spin in the center of the ring.

Phillips: “Next, making her way to the ring from CANDYLAND, USA, she is the Queen of Candyland, Savannah Sunshine!”

As her introduction is made, Savannah steps out onto the apron on the right side facing the crowd. Grinning brightly, she takes a dive from the apron, being caught by the fans who swarm her with love. Savannah soaks up the moment, allowing them to carry her gently back towards the ring. Where she enters once more and moves to stand in one corner of the ring. Wrists are taped in black wrist tape and long curls are pulled back into two pigtails atop her head. A look of pure determination crossing her features.

Sharper: “Savannah Sunshine looking to rebound from a tough loss to Polly Playtime. Not all smiles for her.”

Knots: “No Sunshine either. Then again, we’re in Minneapolis. Not much but gloom outside these days.”

Sharper: “Autumn indeed is here up here in the northern parts of the continent.”

The eyes all focus on the stage. The lights grow dim. Opening strum of Rage Against the Machine's Calm Like a Bomb plays. White house lights illuminate the ramp.

Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
FEEL THE FUNK BLAST

The house lights turn blue, red, green, etc. Alexis Quinne steps out through the curtains. She is dressed in a black and red baseball jersey along with a matching sugar mask with white trim. The jersey says "VOVAYGERS" in front. Alexis slowly turns around, revealing "Quinne" on the back and the number 0 underneath. While doing so, she removes her mask, before turning back around. Quinne starts heard down to the ring. 

Phillips: “Next, coming down to the ring, from San Francisco, California, this is Alexis Quinne!”

Alexis tosses her mask into the crowd while approaching the ring. She extends her arms, clenching her fist as she glares at the crowd. Reaching ringside, the camera does the classic rotation that it used to do for her entrances. She gets to ringside and walks up the steel steps. She rest her head on top of the turnbuckle before climbing up the turnbuckle and raises her fist in the air. The crowd cheers and Alexis peers at the crowd, looking up at the sky. She jumps into the ring and takes off her jacket. From there, she climbs up the top turnbuckle and waits for her opponent.

Lyman: “Here’s your wild card.”

Knots: “Her? I mean Quinne is great.”

Lyman: “She’s on a tear. Coming off a series of big wins. And she wants another one. She wants to keep winning.”

Knots: “I think someone else is my wildcard, Lyman!”

The arena darkens before:

Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan

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

One-Two
One-Two-Three-Four!

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

YUYO: “HA!”

Phillips: “And finally, descending from the sea of stars above, the Guardian of Love, Justice and Peace— Magical Cosmic Princess, YUYO!”

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

Knots: “Here’s my wild card. As wild as wild can be.”

Sharper: “Well, she looks ready.”

Knots: “Damn right. And she’s going to scowl her way to victory. You want to know why?”

Sharper: “Why Jon?”

Knots: “Because she’s a Magical Cosmic Princess, damn it!”

The bell sounds as YUYO lets out a yell and runs across the ring at Ace Sky. Sky moves out of the way and YUYO goes chest first into the turnbuckle. He then pulls her back, causing her to roll through to a seated position and then hits a kick to her chest. The crowd ohs. Alexis then runs over and forearms Ace in the jaw. She forearms him again and then again before going to whip him across. Sky spins through and sends her in. Savannah goes for the pin on YUYO!

Sky jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick, knocking Quinne down. Sky turns and grabs Savannah and knees her in the ribs. He whips her into the corner. Savannah stops herself and Sky runs after and Savannah gets an elbow up. Sky stumbles back and Savannah runs at him and drops down, sliding into Sky’s leg and causing him to fall forward. Savannah rolls into a single leg crab!

Sharper: “Amazing hold! Savannah Sunshine takes out the leg and then pulls up!”

Lyman: “That’s one way to stop Sky from flying! Going for his leg and lower back!”

Sharper: “High-paced start to this one! And look out! YUYO!”

YUYO then gets up and jumps up and hits a crossbody onto Savannah. YUYO stays on her for the pin.

Savannah kicks out. YUYO rolls off. She turns and nails Quinne with a hard right. Quinne stumbles back. YUYO points at her. She runs at her and jumps to the middle rope. She goes to jump back.

YUYO: “Justice!”

Quinne however dodges and moves out of the way. YUYO spins into the corner, landing on her feet. Then both Savannah and Alexis jump up and dropkick her. The crowd ohs. YUYO drops down to a seated position. Sky then gets up and runs across, but Quinne and Sunshine both catch him and hip toss him into the corner and into YUYO. The crowd ohs. Sky backflips out of the corner and gets up. Quinne and Sunshine wrench his arms and then they look at one another and then they both take him down to the mat. They step through his feet, hooking them with their legs before looking at each other again and then both flip forward and in the process, they roll Ace Sky up before using their leg strength to lift him up and slam him down, their legs all connected. The crowd roars. Quinne and Savannah then sit up and both turn to one another before trading forearm shots!

Sharper: “Savannah Sunshine and Alexis Quinne showing some surprising chemistry and now…now they turn to one another!”

Lyman: “Just taking what they can. Both hooked in still with Ace Sky’s legs!”

Sunshine and Quinne trade a few more blows before they both grab one another. They then start to fight their legs out from Sky’s and while still holding onto each other, both get up to their feet. They then nail each other with further trading forearms before YUYO now climbs to the top rope. She glances back and then starts to sing while walking along the top rope. Quinne and Sunshine turn to her just in time for her to dive off with the YUYO Funtime Song and Dance, taking both down.

Sharper: “YUYO flashy and sometimes annoying, but just took down both.”

Knots: “Exactly. You’re sucked in, not knowing what the hell is going and then BAM, YUYO IN YOUR FACE!”

Sunshine rolls over as YUYO dives onto Quinne for the pin.

Quinne kicks out. YUYO looks at the official, Steve Hollinsworth, and pouts at him. YUYO then gets up and comes over to Sunshine and just clubs her in the back repeatedly. Sunshine falls to the mat. YUYO then looks at Quinne before stepping up and hitting a running shooting star press. She hooks the leg again.

1!

2!

Quinne kicks out just as Sky pulls YUYO off. YUYO rolls over and just flails, causing Sky to back up a bit confused. YUYO then stops and looks up and smiles before then rolling out of the ring. Sky however runs after her and dives over the top rope with a vaulting press right in front of the announce position. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “And YUYO thought she was a step ahead!”

Lyman: “Sky showing those many, many years of experience and landing right on the Magical Princess!”

Knots: “Cosmic Magical Princess to you!”

Sky rolls over and looks up as the crowd cheers. YUYO winces in pain on the floor. Quinne remains down as Sunshine stirs as Sky pulls himself into the ring, but gets up only to be caught by a bicycle knee strike. Sky falls to a knee. The crowd ohs. Sunshine then grabs him and double underhooks him before managing to take him over with a suplex. The crowd ohs and cheers. Sunshine hooks the leg.

Sky gets his shoulder up. He rolls over. Savannah Sunshine gets up and then looks around before seeing Quinne getting up. Savannah steps up and hits a shoot kick to the thigh on Quinne. Quinne winces. Savannah hits another. Savannah then turns and goes to whip her across the ring and into the corner. Savannah runs after and Quinne gets a boot up. Savannah stumbles up and Quinne runs forward and Savannah turns only for Quinne to hit the Boomerang. Quinne goes for the pin.

Savannah kicks out. She slowly stirs as Quinne gets up only for Sky to jump up and hit a spinning back kick to the jaw. Quinne falls back and through the ropes to the apron.

Sharper: “Hard kick and Quinne sent to the apron in a bad way.”

Lyman: “But look behind you. The fatal four way rules coming into play here.”

Savannah watches Quinne and then turns and goes to run across the ring, but Sky suddenly hits a sweeping hard spin kick to the legs of Savannah. She falls forward, hard, to the mat. She pops up and Sky pulls her back and hits the Super Nova Slice. He stays on Savannah.

1!

2!

Savannah kicks out. Alexis starts to pull herself up on the apron and Sky turns and runs over and Alexis hits a pump kick, catching Sky. Sky falls back. Alexis Quinne grabs the top rope and goes to springboard, but YUYO yells out “Justice!” again before running at Quinne and hitting a spinning back elbow to the legs of Alexis. Alexis falls on the apron again. YUYO turns and points at her and laughs. She then runs over and hammers away on the head of Alexis.

Sharper: “She missed it earlier. Got it this time, but caught Alexis right in the shin!”

Knots: “Pointy elbows always hurt. Worse to the bone!”

YUYO then gets up and climbs onto the apron. She then wipes her feet in such a way, to kick Alexis in the face and she falls to the floor. YUYO then smiles before she climbs up to the top rope. Sky gets up and YUYO points and hits a crossbody into a pin.

1!

Sky kicks out. Both get up and YUYO points at Sky. This stops him briefly before he then goes for a clothesline and YUYO runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Sky hits a big jumping meteora. He stays on her for the pin.

YUYO kicks out. Sky falls forward. He gets up and turns around and just then Savannah Sunshine nails him with a superkick. Sky turns around and Savannah grabs him and hits a Straight-Jacket German Suplex into a bridge, finishing the Burst Your Bubble!

Sky just kicks out.

Sharper: “Oh! That was close! That was close!”

Lyman: “So much explosive offense in this one!”

Sharper: “And there, it nearly won it for Savannah Sunshine!”

Savannah turns and YUYO just grabs her and turns and throws her out of the ring. She then turns and wags her finger at her. Sky stirs as YUYO then kicks him in the ribs and pushes him down. She hits a standing moonsault to his back. She then rolls him over and hooks the leg.

1!

2!

Sky gets his shoulder up again. The crowd ohs. YUYO looks up and turns to the official. She gets up and tells him how to count. Hollinsworth points out it was a normal count and YUYO counts again. She then turns back to Sky, who suddenly hits a jawbreaker. YUYO stumbles back and falls through the ropes. Savannah then grabs her and pulls her down to the floor. YUYO turns and goes to nail her, but Savannah catches her and nails her with a shot. Sky then runs at the ropes and jumps to the middle rope before flipping over and landing on both Sunshine and YUYO. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “More high-flying. Sky takes to the skies. Flip dive!”

Lyman: “The extra springboard from the middle rope in the ring!”

Knots: “Just showing off now!”

Sharper: “Maybe, but making an impact and taking out two opponents!”

Lyman: “But here comes Quinne!”

Quinne climbs up to the apron and winces before climbing up to the top rope. She straddles the top rope before turning around and glancing back at Savannah Sunshine, Ace Sky and YUYO. They all look up before Quinne dives off with a top rope corkscrew moonsault on the three. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Top rope! Corkscrew! Moonsault! Everyone down!”

Knots: “All down at the end of the ramp!”

Sharper: “And the fans love it!”

The crowd cheers as Quinne looks up as YUYO is down, Savannah Sunshine is too and Ace rolls over, holding his head. Quinne looks around and turns and grabs YUYO. She drags her up and turns and rolls her into the ring. Quinne then looks around before seeing her still down. Quinne climbs onto the apron and then climbs up to the top rope. She looks around as the crowd roars. She gets ready for the Quinnessential Dream, but instead, Ace jumps up and runs over and shoves her off. The crowd ohs. Quinne falls and lands on the barricade and rolls over. Ace then looks at YUYO before climbing up to the top rope. The crowd roars as he steadies himself. Savannah, however, hops on the apron and shoves him off. The crowd ohs again. Ace lands on the barricade and rolls away from Quinne. Savannah, however, then enters the ring and goes over to YUYO to grab her, only for YUYO to suddenly take her over with an inside cradle!

The crowd roars as YUYO lets go and rolls to the ring. She throws her arms up.

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

Sharper: “Quinne and Sky went high-risk. But in the process, Savannah had a different idea and by then, YUYO was playing possum!”

Lyman: “That was great!”

Knots: “Not for Sunshine, Quinne or Sky!”

YUYO stands at ringside celebrating with her Party as Savannah looks up stunned and the scene fades out.

Breakdown returns as the door to Shaun Cruze’s office opens. Datura steps out of it and then steps forward where she smirks as Bree Lancaster waits for her. The door closes behind Datura.

Bree: “So…you’re taking charge of things. Worthwhile?”

Datura: “Oh yeah. Even watched the match that just happened.”

Bree: “A nice turn around from the last few months.”

Datura: “It’s nice.’

Bree: “Well, maybe it’s time we think about doing something we both wanted to do.”

Datura: “Do you need me to go back in?”

Bree: “No, it’s fine. Plan to pitch it anyways. Maybe we can give it a test run next week before you defend your title.”

Datura: “Maybe I should go back in!”

Datura goes to turn to head back to the office. Bree stops her.

Bree: “I’m sure he’ll find it out-“

Just then, we see Ducky run up to Datura and grab at her arm. Datura turns, looking a bit confused before turning to her.

Datura: “Uh…can I help you?”

Ducky: “Here! For you!”

Datura looks at Ducky oddly before Ducky extends an invitation to her. Datura looks around and grabs it and then looks at it confused.

Ducky: “Kim says you’re SUPER Amazeballs and like Skittles. SO YOU’RE IN!”

Ducky looks at Bree and waves.

Ducky: “Sorry…only onesie wearers!”

Ducky turns and runs off as Bree looks confused. Datura looks at the invitation.

Bree: “I don’t know if I should be offended or not.”

Datura: “Apparently, I’m going to have to find a onesie…and we may need to reconsider our teaming next week.”

Bree: “You’re doing it?”

Datura: “I mean there’s a title shot! Maybe I can face myself and finally monetize what’s been going on in my head for years!”

Bree: “Oh God. Don’t you start.”

Datura shrugs, looking at the invitation again before we cut to the ring.

Ricky James in action

“Real American” by Rick Derringer starts to play throughout the arena as Rudy Powell walks out from behind the curtain. The crowd boos loudly as Ricky James emerges behind Rudy. Rudy cackles as the crowd continues to boo. Rudy waddles down the ramp as Ricky marches down behind him. 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Rudy Powell, from Miami Florida, he is Ricky James!”

Sharper: “Moments away from seeing Ricky James in action for the first time since his hard loss against Aaron Rupp at Apocalypse, Simon.”

Lyman: “And last time we saw him, he went on a vicious rant directed towards his former manager Lucy Huckabee-Sanders, basically blaming her for everything that went wrong just because she wasn’t romantically interested in him! He was saying she used him.”

Knots: “And how can he say that when he’s aligned himself with that slug at ringside?! Look at him!”

Rudy struggles to slowly climb the steps and then stumbles into the ring through the bottom and middle rope. Ricky, showing off his athleticism, leaps onto the ring apron and flips over the top rope into the ring. Ricky and Rudy then stand together in the center of the ring and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Rudy waddles out of the ring while Ricky takes his place in the corner as his music fades. We then see a man in generic wrestling trunks and boots in the opposite corner, doing some stretches.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, he is Johnny Lakes!”

The crowd cheers lightly. Johnny steps into the center of the ring and waves towards the crowd.

Sharper: “Local talent making the short drive from Saint Paul to—”

Ricky suddenly lunges out of the corner and drills Johnny from behind with a forearm. Johnny flies forward, crashing into the corner. The referee scolds Ricky before going to check on Johnny. Ricky puts his hand over his heart and taunts the crowd, getting a chorus of boos in return.

Sharper: “Oh, and Ricky with the cheap shot!”

Ricky continues to pose. Johnny nods in the corner. He springs up and lunges by the referee, tackling Ricky to the ground. The crowd roars while the referee signals for the bell. The bell sounds as Johnny lays into Ricky with rights.

Lyman: “But Johnny Lakes out of Saint Paul throwing it right back!”

Ricky desperately scrambles, eventually breaking free and rolling out of the ring. Johnny slides out right after him as the referee quickly starts the count. (1) Ricky gets to his feet and staggers towards the steel steps. Johnny rushes him. He leaps up and plows into Ricky with a shotgun dropkick. The crowd roars as Ricky goes flying over the steel steps. (2) Ricky pulls himself up using the barricade. Johnny pushes himself to his feet and hops up on the steel steps. He launches off and hits Ricky with another dropkick! (3) Ricky stumbles back before falling to the mats.

Sharper: “And Ricky James is getting his ass kicked by this local talent!”

Knots: “Not exactly the statement he and Powell were looking to make, is it?!”

Rudy, fast as he possibly can, waddles over to a downed Ricky. (4) He starts to pull Ricky back to his feet. Johnny gets up and makes his way towards the two. Rudy nudges Ricky away. Ricky hugs the ringpost, using it to stay on his feet. (5) Rudy steps in front of Johnny. Johnny stops, almost out of confusion. Rudy gets out his trademark handkerchief and dabs at the always-present layer of sweat lining his giant forehead.

Rudy: “Now, hold on, son. Think about what you’re doing to your country.”

(6) Johnny shoves Rudy to the side. Rudy stumbles out of the way, using the barricade to stop himself from falling. He heaves dramatically. Johnny goes to grab Ricky, but Ricky suddenly grabs him and throws him into the ringpost! The crowd ohs at the sickening impact. (7) Ricky peels Johnny from the ringpost and slams his head into the apron. (8) He slams Johnny again before throwing him back into the ring. Ricky goes to slide back in himself, but stops as a small group of female fans in the front row catch his attention. They boo him loudly. (9) Ricky slides back into the ring, only to slide right back out. The crowd boos. The referee restarts the count. (1) Ricky walks up to the female fans and starts jawing with them.

Sharper: “And look at this, after getting embarrassed by the local talent, he’s taken to getting into it with our fans at ringside.”

Knots: “Maybe hoping he’ll have an easier time with them!”

Rudy, still noticeably recovering from being lightly shoved, walks in front of Ricky, arguing with the female fans in animated fashion.

Rudy: “You’re looking at a real American, ma’am! He worked hard to get where he is and he won’t let any woman ride on his coattails! Let ‘em hear it, Ricky!”

(2) Ricky nods and puts his hand over his heart. Rudy follows. They both begin to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Ricky & Rudy: “I pledge Allegiance…”

3!

Ricky & Rudy: “…to the flag…”

4!

Ricky & Rudy: “…of the United States of America.”

Sharper: “This jackass is about to get counted out!”

5!

Ricky & Rudy: “And to the Republic…” 

6!

Ricky & Rudy: “…for which it stands…”

7!

Ricky & Rudy: “…one nation under God…”

Knots: “At eight now!”

(8) Ricky nervously looks back at the referee inside the ring, but keeps his hand over his heart.

Ricky & Rudy: “…indivisible…”

9!

Ricky & Rudy: “…with Liberty and Justice for all.”

Rudy finishes proudly while Ricky sprints back into the ring, just barely beating the count as he slides in. Before Ricky can even get up, Johnny runs to his side before rolling him into an Oklahoma roll!

Sharper: “Oh, wait a minute!”

1!

2!

Ricky breaks free at the last second. He shoots to his feet with a surprised look on his face.

Lyman: “Ricky losing focus and almost losing the match in the process!”

Johnny gets up just after Ricky. Ricky runs at him and throws up a clothesline, but Johnny ducks it. Johnny reaches back and hooks Ricky’s arms before falling forward into a backslide pin!

1!

2!

Ricky gets free, floating back to his feet on the breakout. Johnny quickly gets up, only to eat a Hard Right! The crowd ohs as Johnny crumbles to the mat. Ricky leans back on the ropes, seemingly catching his breath.

Sharper: “But Ricky James, somehow escaping. Damn it!”

Lyman: “Just blasted that kid with the Hard Right, that spinning elbow.”

Knots: “Now with his hand on his heart, but not for the Pledge, I’ll tell you that much! He’s thanking his lucky stars!”

Ricky leans down and peels Johnny from the mat. He drags Johnny’s limp body towards the corner. Ricky hoists Johnny up to the top turnbuckle before hooking his head and arm.

Sharper: “Setting up for The Art of the Deal…”

Ricky takes a moment to soak in the boos before he spikes Johnny back to the mat with The Art of the Deal!

Sharper: “And he hits it.”

Knots: “Just planted Johnny Lakes here in Minneapolis! That oughta do it!”

Ricky pushes Johnny away from the corner before crawling over him with a lazy pin.

1!

2!

3!

The bell sounds. “Real American” plays as Ricky sits up with a smirk.

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

Ricky gets to his feet and demands the referee to raise his arm. The referee does so briefly before kneeling down to check on Johnny.

Sharper: “Ricky James just barely coming out of this one with a win.”

Lyman: “Well, we’ve seen his talent, but we’ve also seen his knack of losing focus thanks to the circus he carries around. We saw both sides of that on display tonight, but still, managing victory.”

Knots: “And, according to Rudy Powell, a victory for Ricky James is a victory for America. So, rejoice, everyone!”

Sharper: “Oh, give me a break.”

A sweat-drenched Rudy enters the ring and takes his place next to Ricky. As the referee continues to check on the local talent, Ricky and Rudy once again begin reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Backstage, we see Shaun Cruze watching the monitor in office before there’s a knock at the door.

Shaun: “Come in!”

The door opens and Owen Cruze walks into the room.

Shaun: “Ah, Owen.”

Owen: “You asked for me to come by? Everything okay?”

Shaun: “Well yeah. Just more I have some news. And frankly, I’m not sure what I think of it.”

Owen: “What? Something with me?”

Shaun: “Yeah. You heard my announcement earlier. The Chamber Match?”

Owen: “Yeah….wait…you’re putting me in it.”

Shaun: “The Board of Directors wants you in it. I think D wants you in it. I thought he wasn’t going to meddle but…”

Owen: “Look, it’s for a World Title shot. Yeah, one day I want to get back there, but I wanted to work up. US Title still is on my mind and-“

Shaun: “And SCW wants you in the World Title hunt it seems. And well…I think it may be something else…”

Owen sighs.

Owen: “The Chamber Match itself.”

Shaun: “Yeah. You made a big deal about it. Your turning point. Last time you were World Champion.”

Owen: “So someone wants me to prove myself, or they want me in the title hunt, or…Is this just D doing this?”

Shaun: “Don’t know. This time, it was claimed a message from the board. So I don’t know. But Owen…you’re the first person officially in the Chamber Match.”

Owen nods, listening to his uncle.

Owen: “Well…then I guess I best not disappoint.”

Shaun: “Guess not.”

Owen: “Thanks.”

Owen turns and heads off.

Sharper: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone angry about a title contendership match.”

Lyman: “Well he wanted to earn his way up…but looks like he’s getting thrust to the top!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We open up backstage to see the cameraman just heading down a hallway showing the doors, where some are blank, while others have invitations for Ducky’s Birthday Bash.

Sharper: “And look at what is happening backstage.”

Knots: “Everyone is getting an invite. For her birthday bash!”

Lyman: “Is it even her birthday?”

Sharper: “That may be a great question!”

The cameraman continues to walk down the hallway before showing the floor where random Skittles can be seen, before we cut away.

Breakdown cuts to the stage as we see a man in a suit walking out from the back. The crowd buzzes and some boo as he makes his way down the rampway to the ring.

Sharper: “What in the world is this? Anyone know who this is?”

Knots: “Well maybe SCW security just decided if you wear a suit, you have to be legit!”

The man walks to the ring and then walks around the ring. He calmly heads over to the timekeeper’s table and asks for a microphone. Phillips looks around and the man then pulls out a business card and extends it to Phillips. Phillips reluctantly hands him the microphone. The man takes it and walks over to the ring, stepping up the steel steps. He then steps into the ring. He looks around and walks to the middle of the ring.

Man: “Ladies and gentlemen, My name is Julius Crautheimer, Esq. I am the official legal representative of Jenni Anderson and I have been asked to speak to you all here tonight.”

The crowd boos.

Lyman: “Well that answers some questions.”

Crautheimer: “Last week on this program, there was a situation involving a corrupt official, one Michael Constantine. We have been listening to chatter from fans on social and it has been decided to make clear that Jenni Anderson has nothing to do with Mr. Constantine. A few facts of the case – while not publicly announced, we understand Mr. Constantine has been placed on professional leave for an unspecified period of time as an investigation occurs into any wrongdoing. We noticed that Mr. Constantine seemed to be frequently assigned to my client’s matches. That is simply a coincidence. Ms. Anderson has no control over the officiating assignments.”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Just getting ahead of this. I noticed Michael Constantine wasn’t here, but this is really getting ahead of it.”

Crautheimer: “We have filed signed affidavits claiming as such. Additionally, we are hearing that Calvan Greene was made aware of some information suggesting such.”

Crautheimer pauses.

Crautheimer: “I think it is clear that someone who could not even ascertain who was in the ring with him and who was his opponent should not be considered a reliable witness in any way. In fact, it is our official position that any stock placed in his statement is a gross insult to the integrity of Ms. Anderson.”

Crautheimer pauses again.

Crautheimer: “Additionally, Ms. Anderson wanted to highlight that any of these allegations and the slander that has been claimed to tar her as corrupt should have no bearing on what the truth is. She is a very successful businesswoman, a woman of great integrity, and in fact, she will fight to preserve this reputation as she embarks on early discussions about extending her business opportunities into SCW.”

Crautheimer pauses one final time as the crowd boos.

Crautheimer: “Thank you for your time.”

Crautheimer turns and walks over to the corner and places the microphone back down. He steps through the ropes and down to the floor. The cameras cut to the announce table.

Sharper: “Well that was interesting. I guess there has been some chatter.”

Knots: “You said it. Getting ahead of it.”

Lyman: “I’m more interested in that last part. Extending business opportunities into SCW. Was she not engaging in some?”

Sharper: “That suggests more than just partnering for Tag Title runs and the like.”

Crautheimer heads to the back before we cut away.

Kimberly Williams is scrubbing some of the blood off of Wasley as we see Angelica Jones walking over to her, piece of paper in her hand.

Williams: “Damn it…I hope this is Oktoberfest. I don’t need Wolfie screwing up more.”

Jones: “Kim…have you seen this?”

Kim turns and smiles, snatching the paper out of Angelica’s hands.

Williams: “Yes! I knew it! See, Ducky and I…two peas in a pod! So ready for this. I have my onesie too. YES!”

Jones: “But I thought you only cared about the Underground Championship.”

Williams: “Well I do. I’m not doing this for the title shot. I’m doing this for the chaos. Ducky and Kimmy with…RIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME! BIRTHDAY BASH! HERE WE COME!”

Jones: “Are you sure about this?”

Williams: “More than anything in the world!”

Jones: “Okay…But remember, we’re trying to-“

Williams: “Oh I know…just you want me to have controlled fun. Here we go!”

Williams smiles as she then kisses the invitation and hugs it before placing it on Wasley and smiling as the scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Calvan Greene standing backstage, shirtless for some reason, wearing sunglasses and jeans, standing next to Jessica Winters.

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here with Calvan Greene and Calvan…we just heard some big claims and you’re at the center of them.”

Greene: “That I’m amazing? Hot? The better CHBK? That’s right. All true.”

Winters: “No, that people are claiming you said Jenni Anderson paid off or did something with Michael Constantine.”

Greene: “Who?”

Winters: “The referee you were involved with last week.”

Greene: “Oh! Jimmy! Yeah. Told me they were…”

Greene winks. His sunglasses hide it. Winters notices it.

Winters: “Did you just wink?’

Greene: “Yeah.”

He nods.

Winters: “The sunglasses block it.”

Greene: “Still happened and yeah, they’re doing something. Totally-“

Just then, Crautheimer walks over to the two.

Greene: “Hey! It’s a suit.”

Crautheimer: “Excuse me, but I couldn’t help but overhearing that you’re making your fraudulent statements agin.”

Greene: “It’s not Friday, my man. It’s Thursday.”

Crautheimer looks confused as Calvan Greene just smiles.

Crautheimer: “This is your last warning. Keep saying things and you’ll be sued for defamation. Ms. Anderson wants nothing more to do with you.”

Greene: “Whatever. Her loss. Probably a better night than Jimmy!”

Greene poses a bit for some reason as Crautheimer looks flustered before heading off. Greene watches him walk off.

Greene: “Jealousy. Terrible.”

Winters: “Uh…yeah.”

Greene smirks as he walks off. Winters just shakes her head.

Diamond Steele vs. Chance Owens

Phillips: “The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first….

You like to hunt, your game is fear
I was the one, your souvenir
This is a fight, the one that you've been asking for
You did incite the call for us to go to war

Jagged green lights play across the screen and the stage as a voice that can only belong to the one and only Chris Jericho belts out the words to "Wolves (at bay)". Spotlights move around near the entranceway and one of them catches someone's right arm in its beam.

Pushing and pushing
Giving me no choice
Humiliate, intimidate
Until I hit the breaking point

The spotlights are still moving around on the stage as the lights on the screen start forming a pattern. One of the moving spotlights dances across someone's left leg.

Back to the wall
Keeping the wolves at bay
Fight my way out
'Cause it's the only way

The lights on the screen settle into a final configuration spelling out the name "Chance Owens". The person in question comes out to stand on the stage under some of the spotlights. Chance shields his eyes for a moment before heading down the ramp toward the ring.

Phillips: “Representing the great city of Boulder, Colorado! Weighing in at 235 lbs, ROADBLOCK CHANCE OWENS!”

Sharper: “Mixed reaction for the newcomer.”

Knots: “Young kid, watched some tape. He has some potential.”

Lyman: “I have to agree with you there! He has a chance to show us all what he got. And remember, first impressions are always the most important.”

Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain. She has a microphone in her hands sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers.

Phillips; “And his opponent, from London, England— she is the lead singer of the Gem Stones, she is Diamond Steele!”

Diamond finally makes it to the ring, and she quickly runs up the ring steps and she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Diamond Steele is looking to reestablish herself here in SCW.”

Lyman: “She has to know this match is equally important for her as it is for him. I think we’re going to see a back-and-forth bout. And it might be a sight to behold.”

Chance Owens and Diamond Steele square up as the referee calls for the state of the contest. They lock up, immediately seeing Chance overpowering Steele into a headlock. He hammers Diamond’s skull with some fists and then tosses her forward onto the canvas. He follows up with a stiff kick to the rib with enough strength to launch Steele onto her feet. She rolls out of the next boot and to the backside of Owens where she leaps up the lungblower. Owens is launched into the corner, and his chest bounces off the turnbuckle, rocketing him backward into a roll-up.

Sharper: “Diamond Steele with the pin!”

1…

2…

Sharper: “And she almost caught Owen a minute into his SCW debut.”

Knots: “Use the right terminology, Adam. Robbed. She almost robbed Chance.”

Lyman: “You going pretty easy on the new guy, Jon.”

Knots: “Unlike the both of you, I want to give Chance Owens a chance!”

Diamond stomps down onto Owen’s chest. He catches the next stomp and rolls over with enough momentum to trip her up and get to one knee. He folds her legs before stepping over into the texas cloverleaf. Immediately, Diamond begins crying. Diamond begins to crawl toward the ropes.
Sharper: “Diamond’s dragging herself across the ring to the ropes, all while trapped in Chance Owen’s texas cloverleaf.”

Knots: “She could tap any minute.”

Lyman: “And even if she doesn’t tap, that’s a lot of work to not only drag your own weight but your opponents.”

Diamond finally gets a hand on the bottom rope. The referee begins to count the rope break and Chance throws her down before he reaches five. Chance Owens turns to the crowd with a smile, getting a few boos in the process. Diamond pulls herself up using the ropes, but Chance Owens comes running off the opposite set of ropes and clothesline her up and over the top rope. She spills out to the outside but somehow lands on her feet; yet there’s Chance Owen, ready with the asia moonsault to the outside!

Knots: “Wow! The airtime on that one!”

Lyman: “Chance Owens is showing off his arsenal. Impressive so far.”

Sharper: “He’s dragging Diamond up to her feet. He’s keeping on top of her, trying to beat her down and get out of here with a win.”

Chance takes Diamond’s head and smashes it off the ring apron. He throws her back against the gaurd rail next and drills a knife edge chop. He yanks her arm forward before whipping her into the steel steps, the impact echos with a hollow thud. He grabs Diamond by the neck and then rolling her into the ring. Chance climbs up the ring steps and up to the top rope. He waves to Diamond, trying to summon her to a standing position.

Sharper; “Chance Owens has taken over this match. He’s showing us that he’s a bruiser.”

Knots: “And he is relentless. He keeps his attention on his opponent, avoiding that all too rookie mistake.”

Sharper; ‘He’s on the top rope now. What is looking for?”

Lyman: “I bet he’s going for what he calls the Speed Bump!”

Diamond stumbles to her feet. Her husband warns her before Chance launches himself for the diving spear, but Diamond catches Chance face-first with a front dropkick. The collision knocks both down in the center of the ring!

Knots: “Oh my!”

Sharper: “Diamond counters, and I think that right there was a speed bump for Chance instead. All his momentum went out of the window.”

Lyman: “Chance might be legitimately hurt after that impact.”

The referee counts both competitors down, but Diamond is the first to move. She’s on one knee, then rolls over Chance, snatching his arm and locking in the fujiwara armbar! Diamond leans back, trying to contort that joint. Chance comes to life, yelling in pain as Diamond tries for the submission victory.

Sharper: “Diamond has the fujiwara armbar in. Chance, still reeling from that nasty dropkick, now has to find an out from that submission.”

Knots: “It’s not looking good to me.”

Chance looks as if he’s about to tap, but he swings his body back, managing to slip out from the hold. The two struggle on the mat with each other, both rolling, turning, and finally, they part. Both get to their feet, Chance starts unloading elbows to Diamond, but she responds with forearms. She boots him in the gut, steps back, and leaps forward with the single-knee facebuster. The force knocks Chance into the corner. Diamond scrambles to her feet and charges forward for the yakuza kick in the corner, but Chance ducks it. Diamond leag gets caught on the top rope. Chance destroys her with a pelekick while she is vulnerable. Diamond falls awkwardly onto the canvas.

Sharper: “Another brutal moment in this match! This time Diamond is on the wrong end! Pele kick while she was tangled in the corner.”

Lyman: “There was no way for her to defend herself. She was too focused on trying to escape to shield herself from that blow.”

Chance drags Diamond to the middle of the ring. He looks around for a moment, smiles, before locking in a fujiwara of his own! Diamond yells in pain as Chance keeps the hold on longer as Diamond then taps out. The crowd roars and the bell sounds. Chance lets go and rolls over as Diamond rolls over in pain.

Sharper; “Chance is answering Diamond’s earlier fujiwara with his own— and Diamond taps out!”

Knots: “The newcomer, Chance Owens, came out here and proved to us he’s a fighter. Didn’t I say we need to give him a chance?”

Lyman; ‘Impressive is a great way to describe his performance. And Jon, we never doubted him.”

Phillips: “The winner of the match, by submission, Chance Owens!”

Owens gets up and the official raises his arm. Chance Owens looks around before enjoying the atmosphere. He then looks back at Diamond and smirks before stepping through the ropes. He starts to make his way around the ring.

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage where Jaina Lancaster is standing by with Adam Allocco. Jaina?”

Backstage, Adam Allocco is backstage looking annoyed as Jaina Lancaster stands with him.

Jaina: “Thank you Adam. I’m here with Adam Allocco and-“

Allocco: “Look, Jaina. I know what you’re going to ask me. It’s about tonight’s main event. Gavin Taylor facing Xander Valentine. Xander loses and I can get back into the title hunt and yeah…I want that. I want Gavin to win. I want Xander to lose. But…I also know that Xander may just eat Gavin up and spit him up. I’ve been in the ring with both….sorry, Gavin, but you better be ready because Xander will be. That’s how badly he wants to make me pay and…”

Adam pauses.

Allocco: “You know what pisses me off?”

Jaina: “What?”

Allocco: “Dumb ass young wrestlers in this company pissy about opportunity. Oh, they want to work their way up. You have a God damned shot at a World Title. You smile, say yes sir, and take it. But no, you want to work up. Christ, some people here. All because of redemption. Redemption’s overrated. I learned when I went through rehab that I needed to grab what I needed to get what I NEEDED out of life. Sobriety, the World Title…and now….now I’m watching on the sidelines and…maybe it’s deserved but…No…you know what…Screw Owen Cruze! There’s your sound bite.”

Adam Allocco turns and walks off.

Jaina: “Adam Allocco…and quite upset.”

Sharper: “That was a hell of an outburst. Owen said at the end he’d make the best of it…”

Knots: “Guess Adam is just realizing where he is right now all thanks to Xander Valentine holding the World Title!”

The scene fades to commercial.

Polly Playtime vs. Glory Braddock

SCW United States Championship Contendership Match

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

The music plays for quite some time and it is not until it comes to the first chorus that Polly emerges from the backstage area wearing a frilly pink skirt and a very cute and fashionable strapless crop top that has black paw prints on it.  She is carrying a personally made microphone, clearly wanting to make the world wait to see her.  Aisling and Colleen walk out with her, the three wearing matching outfits. Polly just looks around before heading to the ringside area, greeted by boos. She walks up the steel steps and into the ring. Colleen and Aisling stop at the entrance way and turn around. Polly hands over her personalized microphone to Jason Phillips and tells him to announce her using ONLY that microphone. He looks at her and just shrugs before taking it.

Jason Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a contendership match. First, here she is ladies and gentlemen.  From Panguitch, Utah, she is the girl that just LOVES to play… Polly Playtiiiiime!”

She immediately snatches her microphone back away from him and nods, telling him “Good job”, before she heads to her assigned corner. It’s here that she begins to warm up for the upcoming matchup. The crowd boos some more as her music fades out.

Sharper: “Polly Playtime out here and if she wins, Glory says she’ll get a US Title shot.”

Lyman: “Looking to leapfrog Josh Hudson, and avoid and issues there. Ultimately, though this has been rubber stamped by Cruze. And this serves a second purpose.”

Knots: “Yeah. The Playgirls out here waiting for Josh Hudson if he shows up. Glory and Polly both may have a vested interest in taking him down. Glory hoping they’ll prevent him from getting his hands on her!”

The first chords of "Immortal" by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play over the PA system...

Phillips: “Her opponent, from London, England, she is The British Bombshell, the SCW United States Champion, Glory Braddock!”

Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp. Her SCW United Kingdom Championship is over her shoulder.

I come alive at the second of midnight
So I can fly when the world is asleep
You scream and howl as I'm taking the first bite
Blood on my tongue tastes of eternity

People will come and go
Some stories never told
They bury me down below
But I'll never die
'Cause I'm immortal
Yes, immortal

The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring.  Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more before handing off her SCW United Kingdom Championship, snapping at Phillips to protect it. He takes it as Glory backs up to the corner. Then the music dies down slowly. Glory and Polly lock eyes.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock as cocky as ever. We even saw her earlier tonight make sure no one would face her without earning it in her mind.”

Lyman: “She claims she had to so others too. Here’s the thing – Shaun Cruze makes that decision. And with Josh Hudson earning one win, Glory earning another, to me this is academic.”

Knots: “In Britain things are weird right now, so the basics are a bit cloudy.”

Glory looks at Polly as the bell sounds. The two circle the ring and then lock up in the middle. They push back on one another before Glory wrenches the arm of Polly. Polly winces. Glory jerks on it again. Polly winces and flips forward and then nips up and wrenches Glory’s arm. Glory winces and then ducks down and under the arm and moves into a hammerlock.

Sharper: “Glory quickly cutting off Polly before she could get up.”

Lyman: “Two different styles here. Polly likes to go a bit more high-risk. Glory obviously more comfortable on the ground. Right now, this is Glory’s match.”

Polly grabs at Glory as Glory holds on. The two slowly get up, Glory in control. Polly keeps reaching around Polly, trying to get any leverage before pulling her back into the ropes. She fires Glory off. Glory bounces off and Polly steps up only for Glory to shoulder her down. Glory runs into the ropes. Polly rolls over and drops down. Glory hops over and stops.

Knots: “Going to make Polly play her games. She’s going to have to get past them if she wants to win.”

Glory whips Polly across. Glory runs across and Polly gets her feet up, but Glory blocks them and throw’s Polly’s legs to the side. Polly, seated now on the middle rope, has her back exposed and Glory kicks her hard in it. Polly drops down to the mat, hanging in the ropes and Glory jumps up and hits an elbow drop.

Sharper: “And Polly all over Glory now!”

Knots: “Josh may not come. It’s not like he’s an idiot.”

Sharper: “At the same time, he made a vow. Any time Glory is in the ring, he would come out and make her pass out.”

Polly looks up, slowly starting to get up and Glory grabs her and pulls her up by the head, hooking her head and her leg and hitting a fisherman’s suplex.

The crowd ohs as both hit the mat. Polly rolls to her stomach as Glory hits, bounces, and remains on her back.

Sharper: “Polly Playtime revived and grabs Glory and suplexes her off the top!”

Lyman: “Colleen and Aisling coming alive too. Glory may have taken too long.”

Sharper: “Oh! Both had the same idea.”

Knots: “Yeah. But neither are made of jello so they just hit each other hard!”

Sharper: “Now who will get up first! Polly showing she can take it to the US Champion. Glory showing she’ll bring the fight.”

Polly and Glory are both down as the official starts to count. (1) Colleen starts to try and will Polly up as Polly rolls over.(2) Glory stirs too and Aisling then gets Colleen’s attention as the crowd roars. (3) From the back, Josh Hudson starts to walk down to the ring. The crowd cheers some more as Hudson steps up to the ring and Colleen and Aisling step up to meet him and stop him. (4) He smirks as he then motions at them to come at him. Colleen doesn’t hesitate. (5) She steps up and Hudson drops down and takes her over with a fireman’s takedown in the entrance way. The referee stops his count at this point as one of the competitors has gotten up. Hudson the turns to Aisling who runs at him and blocks a hard right before shoving her back into the barricade.

Sharper: “Hudson getting through the Playgirls!”

Lyman: “And Polly Playtime seeing this!”

But before the official can count three, Hudson slides in and grabs the official throwing them out of the ring. Glory lets go and turns as Hudson walks over to her and grabs her as the crowd roars. Hudson goes to grab her, only for Colleen and Aisling to enter the ring and both run over and nail Hudson from behind. They then grab him and pull him back in a double Russian leg sweep. Glory rolls out of the ring, smirking as she rolls to the floor. She walks around the ring and over to the timekeeper as Polly looks up and sees her throwing a microphone in the ring. Polly glares at her as Colleen then motions to Polly as Hudson starts to get up. Hudson turns and Polly grabs the microphone and nails Hudson in the head. He drops to a knee. Glory smirks and walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Braddock getting out of dodge. She tried to use Hudson’s distraction to win, outsmarting Polly. But Hudson stopped the count and now, with her gone, hoping Polly plays her game.”

Lyman: “And looks at like she is. Colleen even convincing her. Not like Polly and the Playgirls have much love for Hudson!”

Braddock backs up around the ring as the crowd boos. Polly then turns to Hudson.

Polly: “We’re going to play a little game this time Josh. And Glory…you better watch because we’re not done!”

Braddock holds her arm up waving before backing up.

Polly: “And all you have to do is apologize and we may just let you off with a warning!”

Hudson tries to fight as Polly nails him again with the microphone. Hudson falls to his knee, smirking.

Sharper: “Hudson doesn’t have the allies like Deanna had last week. Selena was at ringside.”

Knots: “And I don’t think Braddock’s going to help. Not after how Polly started this!”

Hudson looks up.

Polly: “So…do you?”

Hudson: “Screw you!”

Polly: “That’s unfortunate…”

Polly then runs at him and kicks him between the legs. Hudson falls to his knees as Colleen and Aisling let go only for Colleen to run into the ropes, bouncing off and jumping up and landing down hard with a hip drop to his head and neck, driving him into the mat. Aisling stands over him and taunts. Glory laughs at the stage as she turns and heads to the back. Polly throws the microphone down in disgust before looking up at the stage.

Sharper: “Just three on one. Hudson couldn’t compete with that. He saw his opening.”

Lyman: “Glory snuck out, outmaneuvering him. Polly then made sure this week she made the statement she wanted.”

Hudson remains down as Colleen glances at him. Aisling smiles too as Polly keeps her eye on the stage as the scene slowly fades out.

Breakdown returns to see Owen Cruze and Adam Allocco arguing.

Cruze: “What? You have a problem that I’m honest. Well, you would!”

Allocco: “You’re getting it on a silver platter and you can actually take advantage and you’re whining.”

Cruze: “No…just I know the importance of working back up to things.”

Allocco: “And I know the importance of taking the opportunities you get. You won’t know when they’re gone.”

Cruze: “So are you going to get involved tonight? Hmmm…prove you’re just the same jackass you were. You’ve been saying it for months.”

Allocco: “You’re still the dumbass little shit you were so-“

Shaun Cruze is then heard, coming into the view.

Shaun: “Hey! Adam! Here!”

Allocco: “Uncle coming to help.”

Owen: “Screw off Adam.”

Allocco turns and heads over to Shaun.

Allocco: “What? Don’t like that I’m teaching your nephew how the real world works.”

Shaun: “Not that. I just think you’re as dense as you’re coming off. But I wanted to talk to you anyways.”

Allocco: “Why? Remind me that I can’t challenge for the World Title.”

Shaun: “The opposite. Make sure you don’t fall off the wagon if this is getting to you-“

Allocco: “I don’t need your pity.”

Shaun: “And it’s not pity. You’re still on a tear. And so…I’m putting you in the Chamber match too.”

Allocco scoffs.

Allocco: “Great. A match if I win, I can’t even take advantage of.”

Shaun: “Or Xander’s not champ and you can. Or come December 1, if he is…and you win, you get a crack at whatever title you want.”

Allocco: “Serious?”

Shaun: “Look, I don’t know what you did. But right now, I’m not going to agree for someone to have their career stalled for no good reason. So you do with this what you will.”

Shaun turns and heads off. Allocco smirks and then nods before watching Shaun walk off and then heads in the opposite direction.

Jaina Lancaster stands in the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers as she looks at the crowd.

Lancaster: “Fans, at this time, I have the pleasure to announce to you the SCW World Tag Team Championship match at Under Attack. On that night, the Happy Farmstead Friends will defend their World Tag Team Championship against the team of Selena and Deanna Frost, The House of Frost!”

The crowd cheers.

Lancaster: “And at this point, the two teams will meet in the middle of this ring to share their thoughts. First, the challenger…Selena and Deanna Frost!”

The crowd cheers some more.

“BELIEVE IT!”

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

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

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

Sharper: “Selena Frost and Deanna Frost victorious last week against the previous number one contenders, the Playgirls Three. I’m sure they won’t be pleased after this announcement. But the Frosts looking to get some tag gold.”

Lyman: “First time they’ll be teaming for these titles too.”

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

Lancaster: “And their opponents at Under Attack, accompanied by Lexy Chapel…Lexy Chapel presents the Happy Farmstead Friends!”

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

Lexy Chapel Presents 

HAPPY FARMSTEAD FRIENDS

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

Sharper: “Lexy Chapel holding those tag titles. Titles that the Farmstead Friends have held since Retribution in March. They’ve managed to survive all comers.”

Knots: “Can’t say they’ve taken on all comers. They’ve improved, but damn it, there’s some parts about them that are just…uh…”

Sharper: “Well they’re a bit rough around the edges. But you can’t hold those titles just by luck.”

Lexy barks at Dancing Bear to keep dancing as he jigs down the ramp with Hairless Penguin playing guitar along to the royalty free music. Bear notably looks down, upset his feet don’t make footprints in fake snow. Hairless Penguin makes his way up the steps and into the ring, holding his guitar into the air. Behind him, Dancing Bear struggles to get into the ring because he's in an oversized suit, but he eventually gets there. Lexy takes her place on the outside of the ring, searching for the nearest child to remind them to tell their parents to buy some Happy Farmstead Friends merchandise. Dancing Bear comes along and puts his arm around Hairless Penguin as their royalty free music begins to fade. Chapel then climbs into the ring as Jaina goes to start.

Lancaster: “House of Frost…Happy Farmstead Friends-“

Chapel walks over and immediately interjects.

Chapel: “Lexy Chapel PRESENTS the Happy Farmstead Friends, thank you very much. The SCW WORLD Tag Team Champions!”

The crowd cheers as Lancaster steps back as Chapel holds the titles over her head.

Lancaster: “Of course. And Lexy, the Happy Farmstead Friends seem to be your most stable brand at the moment. Autumn Valentine off with an injury. Katsumi Yashidi now doing well on the Shopping Channel. Nate Chapel-“

Chapel: “Don’t mention him.”

Lancaster: “Okay, and Ace Marshall mysteriously disappearing-“

Chapel: “He’s not gone! If that’s what you’re saying. He’ll be back. He’s just playing the long game. Ace is a VERY smart man. He always has a plan. It’s why he’s got me on his side. And when he’s back, you’ll all know. He’s got to do it when we all know this CONSPIRACY is getting stronger by the day. I know, I know! You all thought I had moved on, but no, it’s just getting bigger. Last week, Owen Cruze, in the ring. After Mr. D talked to him, suddenly getting all of the attention, AT MY EXPENSE. And now, you two. Both of you. Win one tag match and now the challengers. And we alllllllllll know Selena, you and Mr. D go WAY back. Your little Face of SCW! Yeah! Plastered all over the HQ’s walls! That’s right.”

Selena holds her hand up. Lancaster turns to her.

Selena: “My picture may be on those walls, but that’s because I’ve been on pay per view posters. This is just as much as a surprise to me, but one that Deanna and I are going to take advantage. I mean, let’s face it…these two, the Happy Farmstead Friends, they’ve managed to go through most of the Tag Division! They’ve been dominant!”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “They stopped even the reign of Gavin and Nicole! You guys are good!”

Penguin points to himself as Bear turns his head, presumably showcasing some confusion. Bear then steps up and runs his hand across his throat, in a throatcut gesture as if he’s ready to fight. Penguin tries to get him to stop.

Selena: “But there’s no conspiracy here. You have titles. We’re in the mix. And we’re apparently next in line.”

Chapel grabs Jaina’s arm and pulls it over.

Chapel: “EXACTLY what someone part of a conspiracy would say! And cleverly Mr. D isn’t around anymore to give plausible deniability!”

Lancaster pulls her arm away.

Lancaster: “Actually Lexy, Shaun Cruze made the decision.”

Chapel: “A-HA!”

Lancaster turns.

Chapel: “Cruze as in OWEN CRUZE! YEAH! SEE! IT’S ALL TOGETHER!”

Selena shakes her head as Deanna walks over, Jaina extending the microphone to her.

Deanna: “And I had to deal with Kim Williams a few months ago. And she likes me now!”

Deanna shrugs as the crowd roars.

Deanna: “But Lexy…there is no conspiracy. We’re looking to make waves in the Tag Division. I’m just excited that I’m going to be teaming with my wife to go for those titles. Titles that she held with some great people…Dawn Lohan…and her sister Regan Street! But this will be ours. Our moment. We had a few of them this year, but nothing like this. When we both held SCW gold. Her as World Champion, for a short period, while I was Underground Champion. But this…this would be ours.”

Chapel: “NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!”

Chapel points at her as Penguin steps up and Lancaster turns the microphone to him.

Penguin: “I think what my manager would like to say is that we’ll so be happy to face you…and stuff…but we’re on a run. A run of historical proportions! And uh…look, I nearly got close to beating Syren…and Owen….and we both narrowly escaped with our lives at Rise to Greatness….we’re not ready to just lose these even if you may be good and former champions and what not. We’re going to come and fight! Because we have to show the children around the world.”

Chapel: “YEAH! THE KIDS!”

Penguin: “That you need to fight and defend what you have. You need to stand up and be prepared…even if it means facing someone you respect!”

Chapel steps up.

Chapel: “And bring the conspiracy down!”

The crowd roars as Chapel nods.

Selena: “I mean I think David watches you guys…he thinks you’re funny…but that’s not important.”

Penguin: “Wait…really…I can sign something-“

Chapel: “PENGUIN! Not now! Her kid’s already on our side. See this…this is going to be about sending a message. A bigger one. The FACE of SCW is going to go down to Lexy Chapel presents the Happy Farmstead Friends at Under Attack. And then SCW can start to realize that their future is right here!”

Chapel points to herself.

Chapel: “And NO ONE can stop it-“

Just then, now picked up by the camera, we see another man in a suit enter the ring.

Knots: “What’s this? Everyone is wearing suits.”

Lyman: “He’s also entering the ring.”

Knots: “Seriously. I’m just going to wear suits and see where I can get in.”

Lancaster notices the man as he walks over.

Lancaster: “Excuse me…I-“

Selena: “Steven?”

Selena asks as the man, presumably someone Selena knows. The man walks over to Lexy Chapel. Lancaster extends the microphone to him.

“Steven”: “My apologies, but I have been sent here as part of some due diligence. My name is Steven Caldwell. I’m with SCW legal. We understand there have been claims of a conspiracy going on for a while. Ms. Chapel, we’d like to talk to you and look into them for you.”

Chapel looks at Steven very confused. Bear turns and then lunges at the man, only for Penguin to stop him.

Chapel: “You want to talk to me…about the conspiracy…”

Steven: “Actually, more that I’m here to facilitate a meeting with an independent investigator. Just I’ve been present dealing with other things and figured I’d just get this started.”

Chapel: “Independent, eh? Fine…take me to your investigator!”

Chapel turns to the Frosts.

Chapel: “SEE! WE WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!”

Chapel turns and motions to Bear and Penguin. Bear follows as Penguin glances back at Selena and Deanna as they just look stunned. Penguin mouths sorry before exiting the ring. Steven Caldwell exits as well.

Sharper: “SCW legal facilitating an independent investigation…”

Lyman: “We’re not taking her seriously right?”

Sharper: “He mentioned something about due diligence.”

Knots: “What is going on here?”

Sharper: “Everyone is trying to figure it out. But looks like Lexy will have an audience!”

Chapel smiles as she smugly walks up the rampway. Bear follows her as Caldwell follows behind. Penguin is last before glancing back to the ring again and then turning back to keep following Lexy as the Frosts stand in the ring gobsmacked with the equally confused Jaina Lancaster.

Backstage, Jessica Winters stands with James Evans outside of the locker rooms.

Winters: “I’m here with James Evans and James, you’ve been targeting Konrad Raab in recent weeks. Even attacking him after holding his prized German mace. But why? We thought you were focusing on Christy Matthews?”

Evans turns to Winters and looks down before looking up.

Evans: “Why not? Is that a good enough reason? Maybe I just don’t like him. Maybe I just feel like facing him.”

Evans shrugs.

Evans: “Good enough.”

Winters: “Well, I guess-“

Evans: “Good. Because I understand he’s fighting next. And I feel like watching him work. In his element. Because I may join him there.”

Evans smiles and turns and walks off. Winters watches him leave as the scene cuts to commercial.

Sarah Wolf vs. Konrad Raab

Underground Rules

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is going to be operate under Underground Rules! Introducing first—”

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

Phillips: “From Cologne, Germany, he is The Ice Blood, Konrad Raab!”

After the announcement, Konrad picks up his flanged German mace and slowly walks to the ring with a massive amount of boos— but there’s a collective squeal from the crowd as Sarah Wolf delivers a steel chair to the Konrad’s  back!

Sharper: “Sarah Wolf came out of nowhere with that steel chair!”

Knots: “She’s known for her ambushes!”

Lyman: “And now she whacked Konrad with another shot to the back.”

Konrad falls forward, propping himself up by the ring apron. Sarah Wolf holds the chair high and brings it down on Raab’s lower back. Sarah Wolf slides the chair underneth the rope before rolling Konrad in. She orders referee, Jennifer Cassidy, to start the match— and she does so. Raab climbs to his feet slowly and Sarah Wolf boots him in the midsection with toe kick and drops Raab down onto the steel chair with a stiff DDT!

Sharper: “Sarah Wolf brutalizing Konrad with that steel chair!”

Knots: “They’re hardcore, Adam. HARDCORE. They relish the violence. And they’re only just started!”

Sarah Wolf rolls out of the ring, reaching underneath the ring to slide out a table. She unfolds the on the outside table while Konrad recovers from the initial onslaught. Sarah Wolf then slides back into the ring, leads a stirring Konrad to his feet and out towards the ropes. She steps out onto the apron, pulls Konrad so that his legs are held on the middle rope. Sarah Wolf jumps backwards, taking Konrad with her for a sick DDT through the table!

Sharper: “Oh my god! Oh my! Someone neesd to check Konrad!”

Knots: “Sarah Wolf pushing the boundaries of humanity with that DDT through the table!”

Lyman: “Konrad’s entire head and neck absorbed a lot of punishment! The doctor’s over to check on him to assure that’s he’s okay.’

Sarah Wolf throws her arm up while Raab shoves the doctor away. Raab gets on his hands and knees, and Sarah Wolf boots him in the side. She goes to whip him into the ring steps but Raab counters, launching her into the ring steps instead. She drops to the floor with a sick thud, holding her shoulder. Raab stands, wincing slightly, but smiles. It’s his turn to search the inventory of weapons under the ring. Out comes a steel trash can. Raab takes the lid and walks up behind a seated Sarah, and strikes her in the back of the head!  

Sharper: “Konrad survives the initial assault and now goes on the offensive, first using a trash can lid.”

Lyman: “The tides can turn on a dime in these matches. Both competitors want to hurt each other more than they want to win.”

Knots: “That’s their typical MO. Raab and Wolf have wanted to fulfill their sadistic wishes for months and months on SCW television, if not years in Raab’s case.”

Raab bends the steel cover across Sarah’s back before tossing it to the ground. Next, he lifts the entire trash can and brings it down onto Sarah’s back as she leans over the steps, taking the punishment. Raab backs up, giving Sarah space to stand. She turns and that’s when Raabs puts a huge dent in the trash by bashing it over Sarah’s skull.

Sharper: “Sarah’s skull made an indent in that can!”

Knots: “Referee Cassidy Michaels is looking on in despair, helpless to contain this carnage!”

Sharper: “What’s Raab going to do now with that trashcan?’

Raab places the trashcan down deliberately and then turns to an ailing Sarah. He grabs her by the neck and forces her to her feet. Raab lifts her up for a powerbomb and drops her onto the dented steel trashcan, flattening the can even more.

Lyman: That had to hurt. The metal had already been deformed, adding even more resistance, but Sarah’s body hit it with all the momentum of that powerbomb!”

Sharper: “Raab hooks the leg!”

1…

2…

Sharper: “Sarah kicks out! She still has a lot of fight left!”

Knots: “She might have wanted to take the loss because Raab has started to get a little creative out here about how he’s going to break her body.”

Raab pushes her off the trashcan, wraps his arms around her waist, and lifts her up with a deadlift, looking for a german suplex, but Sarah manages to swing her weight forward to land on her feet. She spins around with an elbow, breaking free of Raab’s hold. She rapid fires clenched elbows to the face of Raab before stepping back at and connecting with a bicycle kick, launching Raab all the way back into the ring apron. Sarah undoes the steel chain she used as a belt and whips it across the chest of Raab. Raab yells in both ecstasy and pain simultaneously. Sarah whips him again and again, making his chest covered with crisscrossing scarlet marks.

Knots: “Why are you wincing, Adam? I thought over these years, you would be desensitized to this sort of thing?”

Sharper: “It looks painful, Jon. I also wince everything I see someone go into thumbtacks.”

Raab catches the chain on one of the lashes, and uses it to pull her into a powerful lariat! Raab pops up, rips the padding off the floor. Sarah tries to fight to her feet using the apron, but Raab intercepts her, clubbing her to the back of her head. He drags her up onto the apron with him. He points to the concrete to signal what he’s about to do.

Sharper: “No— Don’t do that, Raab!”

Lyman: “This is a little too dangerous for my taste too!”

Knots: “Oh, I’ve seen worse!”

Raab lifts Sarah up straight in the air, looking for a brainbuster, but Sarah fortunately, was able to swing back down onto her feet. She struggles with Raab on the apron, but finally, Raab gets his hand around her throat. He squeezes hard before lifting her up and chokeslamming her down onto the bare concrete floor! Raab sits down on the apron for a moment, showing a slight grin at his handiwork.

Sharper: “Chokeslam off the apron on the exposed arena floor!”

Knots: “The ringside physician is checking on Sarah this time.”

Sarah now pushes the referee away as she rolls over on her side. She continues to stir, trying to recover from that chokeslam. Raab has gotten his mace, holding it up high in the air. Jennifer Cassidy begins to plead to Raab not to use that weapon. Sarah is up now, using the guard rail as assistance. Raab pushes the referee out of the way, swings the mace down at Sarah, but she dodges and Raab gets the guard rail instead. The vibration makes him drop the weapon. Sarah wraps her fist in that chain and delivers a powerful hook. Raab staggers, stumbling up the ramp as a result of that hit.

Sharper: “Raab was about to murder her!”

Knots: “This is ridiculous! He was not going to go through with the swing! He’s trying to intimidate her.’

Sharper: “I don’t believe that for a second, and neither should you.”

Sarah drills him with another hard right with the chain tightly wrapped around. He spills out on the top of the ramp and begins to crawl away on his hands and knees. Sarah climbs onto Konrad’s back, bringing the chain across his face for a special camel clutch.

Lyman: “Sarah has taken back control of this match with that steel chain. She used it as a whip, then as a makeshift pair fo brass knuckles, and now she’s incorporating this in a submission. Call her the iron chef of the underground!”

Sharper: “Pain and pleasure are synonymous to Raab, but eventually, the body will fail. Right now, Sarah is using the submission to wear Raab’s body down to exhaustion.”

Sarah finally seemed to grow tired of the submission and slammed Raab’s back into the ground. She turns and steps up to the top of the ramp, and raises the chain up over her head. Unbeknownst to her Kim Williams comes out with Wasley. Raab looks up at Kim, who waves before swinging Wasley, cracking Raab across the side head with the loaded plushie. Kim then jumps over him and runs, swinging it to the back of Sarah. Sarah goes down where Kimb gets another wild swing with Wasley onto Sarah’s back. And again!”

Sharper: “Kimberly has come out here and attacked both competitors.’

Lyman: “Notice how she attacked Raab from the front but Sarah from behind. It really shows who Kim respects.”

Kimberly turned to Raab and tried motioning Raab to go for the pin, but Raab has been busted open by Wasley. Angelica Jones hurries out and herds Kimberly to the side. Kimberly seems like she wants to escape Angelica, but then goes far side of the stage.

Kimberly Williams: “Oktoberfest! Oktoberfest!”

The crowd starts in on the chant. Raab crawls over to Sarah in the meanwhile and covers her.

Sharper; “A bloodied Raab gets an arm across the chest.”

1…

2…

3-

Sharper: “Sarah kicks out right before 3!”

Knots: “Sarah reached deep instead and found some strength, enough so to kick out. This is turning into a bloodbath. Someone get Kim out of here!”

Both are slow to stir. Sarah and Konrad climb to their feet. Konrad goes for a haymaker but Sarah ducks underneath. She reaches and up and kisses Konrad, spitting that black ooze into his mouth.  Konrad tries to get the Exor-kissed out. Sarah takes the opportunity to throw him off the edge of the stage. Konrad crashes down through the tables of equipment.

Sharper: “A potential kiss of death from Sarah before delivering what could be the end match.”

Knots: “Disgusting! Look at the black sludge that is around Konrad’s mouth.”

Sharper: “Sarah leaps off the end of the stage with a diving elbow drop! She hooks the leg on the bloodied Raab!”

1…

2…

3!

Sharper: “-No, Raab kicks out right at the last possible millisecond. This match continues.’

Lyman: “Now it was Raab’s turn to show that he’s tough as nails. Maybe the Oktoberfest chant fired him up!”

Both competitors now roll to the side of the stage and go up a short tunnel into a small restaurant in the Target Center. Diners look on in surprise. Raab is tossed through a waiter’s cart, and all the dishes go flying down, shattering. Raab manages to roll through onto his feet. Sarah goes to toss him into a column in what appears to be a sitting area, but Raab reverses it. Sarah collides instead. She bounces off, and Konrad Raab lifts up Sarah and delivers the Frozen Pin, smashing Sarah through a glass coffee table!

Sharper: “the Frozen Pin through a glass table!”

Knots: “This has to be it!”

1…

2…

3!

Sharper: “Konrad Raab secures the victory! What a battle!”

Knots: “And look at everyone around him in the restaurant. They’re stunned like they are watching the aftermath of a car crash.”

Phillips: “The winner of the match, by pinfall, Konrad Raab!”

Raab starts to slowly get up, wincing in pain, holding his arm and then looks around.

Sharper: “Sarah Wolf, almost overly focused on Kimberly Williams, has yet suffered another loss, while Raab looks right at home in the underground.”

Lyman: “They both did, but only one getting up victorious.”

Raab starts to get up as Wolf remains down, looking up, wincing in pain as the scene cuts away.

A shot of Gavin Taylor getting his ring gear on on one side with Xander Valentine stretching on the other comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “Tonight, a huge main event. Gavin Taylor’s All-Star Extravaganza! World Title on the line. Gavin Taylor challenges Xander Valentine!”

Knots: “He better be ready!”

Lyman: “We’ll all be watching!”

The scenes play out for a few more moments before we cut back to the ring.

“The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe in action

The opening riff of “Wolf Within” hits the speakers and once the lyrics kick in Cassie Wolfe emerges from the back excited to start the match, with her hands on her leather jacket’s sides the rookie wrestler turns her back to the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a ten minute time limit. Introducing first, from Greenock, South Australia and now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, “The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe!

When her name is announced Cassie spins around flashing the metal horns sign with her left hand and clapping fans hands with the other, when she reaches the ring Cassie jumps onto the apron before giving her hair a full flip and removing her jacket to give to a stagehand, she then jumps over the top rope and into the ring, rolling to her knees and basking in the moment. The camera turns to show a woman leaning back in the corner, wearing a track suit and running her hand across her mouth.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, she is the Winona Pegg!”

The crowd boos as Pegg steps up and holds her arm up before turning and flipping off Wolfe.

Sharper: “Cassie Wolfe was impressive a few weeks ago against Ace Sky. Tonight, she looks to keep her momentum going.”

Lyman: “And she wanted this. She went to Shaun Cruze. She wanted to step up, be in the ring. She loves to compete. All good things you want to see in a young wrestler. They want to get better.”

Wolfe stretches out and the bell sounds as Jennifer Cassidy calls for it, but Pegg runs across the ring and clubs Wolfe in the head and then again and again and again. The crowd boos as Pegg hammers away on Wolfe. Wolfe covers up, stunned by the aggressive start by her opponent.

Pegg steps back and walks around the ring. She then points to herself.

Pegg: “Focus on me! Not her!”

Pegg then turns around as Wolfe runs out of the corner and hits a dropkick, knocking her down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Winona Pegg wanted her attention on her. But she turned her attention away from Cassie Wolfe!”

Knots: “Yeah and Wolfe just introduced her to her feet!”

Pegg rolls over and gets up and Wolfe steps up and kicks her in the ribs and then chops her in the chest. She grabs her and whips her across the ring. Pegg bounces off and Wolfe hits another dropkick. Pegg hits the mat and sits up as Wolfe runs across the ring and into the ropes. She bounces off and drills her with the GOOOALLLL! The crowd ohs. Wolfe goes for the pin.

Pegg starts to get up, holding her face and Wolfe walks over and kicks her in the ribs before pulling her out and hitting a vertical suplex. Wolfe gets up and drags her up again before throwing her into the corner.

Sharper: “Wolfe recovering nicely and all over Pegg.”

Lyman: “Now she’s just dominating. Wolfe took what Pegg had and then just turned it around and now is making her regret that aggressiveness!”

Wolfe forearms her in the jaw and then spins back and kicks her in the ribs. Pegg winces. Wolfe grabs her, but Pegg rakes the eyes. Wolfe stumbles back. Pegg runs across the ring and bounces off the ropes and nails her with a clothesline. Wolfe hits the mat and rolls over, wincing in pain. Pegg then grabs her and pulls her up.

She starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd cheers as Wolfe gets to the top rope. She then glances back at Pegg who is still down before Wolfe dives back and hits the Coronation! The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Coronation! That corkscrew 630!”

Knots: “And I don’t think Pegg’s going to eye rake her way out of this one!”

Sharper: “The cover!”

Wolfe hooks the leg.

The crowd cheers and the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, the Rebel Princess, Cassie Wolfe!”

The crowd cheers as Wolfe gets up and has her arm raised. Her music plays as she looks around the arena. She throws her arm up in the air again as the crowd cheers her.

Sharper: “Wolfe was challenged a bit to start. Pegg hoping to take advantage of her inexperience, but instead, Wolfe fought back and then made a statement at the end.”

Lyman: “Two in a row. Great start for her so far-“

We then see Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO storming out to the ring. She’s joined by her Heroic Party. YUYO storms to the ring, while Wolfe continues to play to the crowd not realizing she’s been joined by YUYO. YUYO then runs to the ring and jumps onto the apron. She points in the ring. Wolfe now turns and sees her.

YUYO: “You! You’re no princess! I’m princess! MAGICAL COSMIC PRINCESS YUYO!”

YUYO points and shakes her finger at her. Wolfe looks at her confused as YUYO enters the ring and steps up and shoves Wolfe back. Wolfe looks a bit confused still as Cassidy gets between them. YUYO shakes her finger at her again. YUYO’s party enters the ring to stop YUYO from going further. Wolfe just turns to Phillips at ringside confused.

YUYO: “I’M THE PRINCESS AROUND HERE! YUYO! YUYO! YUYO!”

YUYO tries to get the fans to chant with her as Wolfe turns to her.

Wolfe: “Not the only one!”

Wolfe then shoves YUYO back. YUYO falls back and rolls over. She looks around as the crowd roars. Wolfe then rolls to the floor and shakes her head, looking at the ring. YUYO glares at her before returning to her attempt to start a chant in her name before the scene cuts away.

Gavin Taylor vs. Xander Valentine

SCW World Championship

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

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

And the song continues...

The crowd cheers as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays.

Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope.

The song continues...

I cheated to get what I got
Stepped all over you self for my spot
I bet you I'm winning, I bet that you're not
I bet you don't see me, I bet you get caught

Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out. Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes as he watches for his opponent.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor has been training for the last few weeks waiting for this moment. He’s used his Trios Tournament contract to get this match. He has said, through Ava St. Claire, that this is the biggest night of his career.”

Lyman: “There are a lot of people who know how talented this man is. Syren has seen it first hand and it feels like he’s turned the corner. The Ironperson match at Rise to Greatness. Now, tonight, he hopes to win the SCW World Championship.”

Knots: “And against a friend, no less!”

A long church bell rings, once- twice- a third time as the crowd explodes. The lights go out as Xander’s voice echoes out over the sound system, increasing the intensity of the crowd’s roar.

“Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

The few opening keystrokes of “Soul on Fire” by Last Internationale chimed. A lull before the storm as the crowd seems to calm for only a moment before Delila Paz’s blues dominate the audio.

“Some are born to kill

Others are born to run

Some need to keep on takin'

Till you ain't got none”

A singular light appears before the curtains, on the other side is the outline of a large man. On the screen, we’re shown Xander Valentine holding onto the bars of a prison cell. He starts to bend the bars before the scene blurs. 

“But baby, I wasn't built to die

Lay down and be crucified

Nah, no matter how hard they try

To push me down

Still I rise”

“Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)”

The curtain drops to reveal Xander. A quick salvo of pyros explodes in front of him before he steps through the smoke with an intense look on his face. He goes from one side of the stage to the next, yelling out to the crowd and throwing up his arms. He then stops at the top of the ramp while Artemis steps up from behind him and throws his arm up into the air. Together they start down the ramp, Xander’s gaze affixed on the ring. The SCW World Championship is over his shoulder.

Suffocate me until I am blue

To preserve my bad worldview

Paranoid, All Eyes On Me

Rumours circle, vultures feed

Baby, I wasn't built to die

Lay down and be crucified

Nah, no matter how hard they try

To push me down

Still I rise

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Xander leaps up onto the apron in a single bound. Artemis joins him by slipping below the bottom rope. Xander climbs up over the top rope and marches straight to the far side of the ring. He throws his arms up again, getting a massive pop. He goes to the opposite side and repeats to garner the same response. He hops down from the rope, and jogs into place, waiting for the bell. Artemis leans up and whispers into his ears before departing with a kiss on his neck.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine stunning us by returning two months ago to use his Trios contract to eventually beat Adam Allocco for the title. He’s also prevented Allocco from getting a rematch as long as he’s champion.”

Knots: “He’ll be watching this one closely.”

Sharper: “And next week, so will so many. Ducky’s Birthday Bash…we don’t know what to expect there.”

Knots: “Chaos.”

Sharper: “Let’s go to the ring where Jason Phillips is waiting.”

The bell sounds as Jason Phillips steps up to the middle of the ring.

Phillips: “Fans, the following contest, scheduled for TV time remaining, is scheduled for onefall and is for the SCW World Championship!”

The crowd roars as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen, fading to the bottom corner.

Phillips: “First, the challenger…standing to my right, he is cashing in his Trios Tournament contract tonight. From Los Angeles, California, he is The All-Star, Gavin Taylor!”

The crowd erupts in cheers as Gavin steps up and holds his arms over his head. He then runs his hands through his hair and steps back and nods at Xander. The camera turns to Xander.

Phillips: “And standing across the ring, to my left, from Rochester, New York, accompanied by Artemis, he is the reigning and defending SCW World Champion, the Executioner of SCW, the Paragon of Violence, he is Xander Valentine!”

The crowd roars too as Xander holds the title over his head and then looks at it before looking down at Gavin. Xander then slowly hands the title to the official, Aaron Demitra. Demitra takes it and holds it over his head. The crowd buzzes as Demitra then hands off the title.

Sharper: “Both men have their game faces on. They may have become friends, but tonight, it’s all about the World Title.”

Lyman: “And both want to do anything they need to to win tonight.”

Demitra steps back, checking on Gavin. Gavin nods. Demitra turns to Xander. Xander nods. Demitra calls for the bell as the crowd roars. The bell sounds. Gavin looks at Xander and Xander continues to look at Gavin. The two jaw across the ring before they then step up and lock up in the middle of the ring. Gavin pushes back on Xander before Xander shoves him back. Gavin rolls through. Xander then steps forward, looking to pounce. Gavin gets up and Xander nails him with a body shot to the ribs and then a hard right to the jaw. Gavin snaps back into the corner as the crowd roars. Xander nails him with a hard body left and then a right before going for another right haymaker, but Gavin blocks it and kicks him in the ribs. He then spins Xander around into the corner and nails him with a chop. The crowd woos. He follows up with a hard right and then another chop. More woos. He then grabs Xander and goes to whip him across the ring. Xander however spins through and sends Gavin in. Gavin however jumps up and goes to float over as Xander rushes in after, but Xander catches him on his shoulder. Gavin kicks his feet as Xander walks around and then Gavin pushes off, grabbing Xander’s arm and arm dragging him down. The crowd roars as Xander turns to his knee and looks at Gavin as Gavin turns and looks at him.

Sharper: “Gavin with a hell of an arm drag. A great counter.”

Lyman: “And the two look at each other. There’s a tacit respect even if they’re going hard.”

Knots: “And here they go again!”

Gavin then, after a brief pause, jumps up and dropkicks Xander in the face. Xander falls back to the ropes. Gavin gets up and stomps Xander in the chest once and then again and again.

Sharper: “Gavin like a pitbull here. He wants to take the fight to Xander.”

Knots: “Xander’s not exactly used to it. There’s always a fear there with him. But we’ve seen people come at him hard and get some notable success. Selena Frost comes to mind.”

Gavin nails Xander with a couple of clubbing blows. Xander shoves Gavin back. Gavin backflips back and rolls to his feet. He gets up and Xander runs out and nails him with a clothesline. Gavin hits the mat. Xander turns and goes for the lateral press.

He turns and Xander nails him with a hard right. Gavin goes down to the mat.

Sharper: “Hard right hand. Xander just making sure everything hurts.”

Gavin grabs at the ropes, pulling himself up and turns and Xander nails him with another hard right. Gavin snaps back against the ropes. Xander then grabs him and whips him across the ring.

Sharper: “Both down and we have no official for the moment.”

Xander stirs as he rolls over. Gavin does too. The crowd looks on as they make noise. Just then, we see Adam Allocco running out from the back, brandishing a steel chair. The crowd roars and then boos.

Sharper: “Wait a minute! Allocco! With a chair!”

Lyman: “If Xander’s no longer champ, he can get his rematch!”

Adam Allocco runs down to the ring and then reaches it and goes to slide in, before then stopping. He looks forward at Xander and Gavin as they both fight up to their feet. Artemis watches him. Allocco looks in, eying Gavin before turning and looking at Xander. He then stops and slowly slides back. The crowd looks on buzzing. Adam then lifts the chair up by the side over his head only to then throw it down onto the apron. This gets Gavin’s attention. Adam looks down, clearly conflicted.

Sharper: “Allocco coming down. He’s not entering…”

Lyman: “He’s not interfering.”

Knots: “Don’t you want to open up your chances? Or is whatever Xander knows you did that bad?!”

Sharper: “Maybe he realizes that he deserves this fate. I don’t know. He’s trying to figure it out right now. But looks like Gavin is going to help!”

Adam then looks out before turning back as Gavin runs over and kicks at the ropes. Adam falls back and rolls over, more dazed than anything.

Sharper: “Fade to Black!”

Gavin has one last flail as he reaches up before his arm goes limp. Demitra calls for the bell. The bell sounds. The crowd roars. Xander immediately drops Gavin not wanting to hurt him at all. Xander then steps forward, but notices Artemis who is looking not at him, but across the ring at Adam Allocco who walks around the ring. Xander glares at him as Artemis grabs the SCW World Championship.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and STILL SCW World Champion, Xander Valentine!”

Artemis steps into the ring with the title as Adam looks at Xander before looking down and then turning to the entrance way. He just heads to the back, running his hands through his hair, before placing his hands on his head, and letting out a sigh of frustration as he heads to the back. Xander continues to watch him before Artemis gets his attention. Xander takes the World Title and places it over his shoulder.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine retains. Another tough challenge. Another success.”

Knots: “So who’s next though? Won’t be Adam. Who is next?”

Sharper: “We’ll find out I’m sure at some point. Shaun Cruze is going to have to think long and hard. But Gavin Taylor thought he was prepared. Two mistakes. The missed Lariat and then going after Adam Allocco. Xander doesn’t even realize, even if he knows Adam was here. Clearly some respect as he immediately let go of the Fade to Black.”

Lyman: “And Artemis now checking on Gavin Taylor. He thought it was his night. It wasn’t and instead, the Executioner…the Paragon of Violence, his reign continues!”

Sharper: “Thank for you joining us here tonight for Breakdown. We’ll see you next week with…Ducky’s Birthday Bash?! See you then!”

Artemis checks on Gavin Taylor as Xander also looks down at his fallen friend and competitor as the scene fades to black…
