“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “We are four days away from Under Attack and we are live from the heart of the Midwest, Kansas City, Missouri!”

The cameras pan across the crowd before we cut to the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots seated behind it.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and folks, a lot to dissect tonight. We hope to get more information regarding Selena Frost’s unsanctioned contest with Xander Valentine, but she’ll be in action tonight.”

Knots: “Well if you’re going to prepare to face someone who is unpredictable, you face someone who doesn’t care for their own body in Max Kane!”

Sharper: “Not just that, Clyde Sutter will challenge for the Television Championship and we have a lot of questions regarding Sienna Swann, Glory Braddock. We had those masked individuals attack James Evans, Alistaire Allocco, Glory Braddock. What is going on among the World Championship contenders?”

The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system. Glory Braddock walks out from the back.

Knots: “Looks like we’re going to get some answers!”

Sharper: “Glory Braddock last week seemed to at least entertain working with Sienna Swann. By the end, she made clear she would only do what was necessary in the ring and Sienna Swann immediately hit her with the Kiss of an Angel.”

Knots: “Glory didn’t want to use a chair on James Evans when to her, she had it won!”

LAST WEEK:

Sienna grabs the chair and turns and hands it to Glory. Glory looks at it. Sienna turns and points to James. Sienna turns around and runs over and kicks at Alistaire as he tries to get back in. Sienna turns back and Glory drops the chair. Glory then stomps away on James. The crowd cheers as Sienna looks at her and then grabs the steel chair and grabs Glory and turns to her. Glory spins around and looks at her. Sienna says something sternly to her before extending the chair to her. Glory turns around and grabs James and Sienna looks back and shakes her head. She drops the chair and spins Glory around and hits the Kiss of an Angel on Glory. Glory just drops. Sienna then drops down and rolls to the floor. Bree gets Scott and Scott turns and follows Bree as Bree joins Sienna.

Sienna: “Not going to work. She doesn’t know her place!”

James looks up and looks at Sienna before then looking at Glory. He then goes for the pin.

1!

2!

3!

The bell sounds. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “You see how James Evans then pinned Glory to end it. Sienna saying “this is not going to work.””

Knots: “Glory has had a while to think about it. I’m sure she’s thrilled.”

Glory Braddock walks along the ropes on the apron and enters the ring. She then walks across and asks for a microphone. Phillips hands her one and she takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. She looks down and walks around.

Glory: “I guess there’s a little bit I have to get off my chest tonight!”

The crowd roars.

Glory: “But too bad that the woman I need to say half of it to isn’t here because for some reason, she’s late tonight. Her personal jet ran out of charity? There was a homeless person outside a mall she could dress up in Prada? Bree Lancaster took seriously her crap about people not deserving a shot at her?”

Glory chuckles and shakes her head.

Glory: “No…see, she just knows that she has a receipt coming. Because I just have to rub my jaw and remember when you dropped me with that knee. But unlike you, I’m not going to ask SCW to ban it because frankly, part of me should have seen it coming. You’ve been about as disingenuous as it comes. But I trusted Angelica.”

Glory pauses. She then looks up and holds her hand up as the crowd boos a bit.

Glory: “And I still trust her. She didn’t know that you’re THIS close to snapping. THIS close to realizing that everyone is not only onto you, but the Perfect Ten, the IronAngel…she may not have all of the answers!”

Glory smirks.

Glory: “She wanted a pawn. She didn’t want an ally. And there was a part of me…if this was just the two of us, looking to get to the end…for the World Title…it would’ve been worth it. But when she took that steel chair…she then wanted to me to use it when I already had James Evans beat…”

Glory pauses looking at the camera.

Glory: “I knew that she wanted someone to carry her to the end to steal it all and well, Sienna knew I realized that too. See, that’s the thing. Sienna can’t handle people not blowing smoke her up ass and while Bree, Chris and so many others may do that, I damn sure won’t. But what I can tell you….”

Glory chuckles and looks at the camera some more.

Glory: “I plan on walking out of the Chamber as World Champion! See, what Owen and Alsitaire had to say….I don’t really care. I know they’re good. I know they can compete. I know they even deserve to be in this conversation for World Champions and World Champion contenders…but they have a very naïve outlook. I know I can beat Syren…and I proved last week I can beat James Evans! So Sienna…remember that I owe you a receipt and it will be coming at Under Attack!”

The crowd cheers, but as Glory finishes, “Door to Door Cannibals” by Cheville starts to play. The crowd roars as James Evans walks out from the back, a microphone in his hand. Glory turns and James Evans steps forward and shakes his head. Glory walks forward.

James: “Too bad that you got taken in by the BS Factory, but Glory, I don’t feel bad for you except for the fact that you think you had me beat last week.”

Glory: “You know damn sure its true.”

James: “You got a few kicks in. But even the chair shot wasn’t going to keep me down. And Syren even tried and I’ll let her know what I think about that when I walk out champion this Sunday. But frankly, all that matters is exactly what I said last week…who won. Who lost? I won. You lost. It’s that simple. So did Sienna….So did Bree.”

Glory: “Then I think we have a bit of a problem and we can solve that pretty simple and we don’t need to wait for this Sunday!”

The crowd roars. James smirks.

James: “You’ve been getting some tips from Angelica then, well, Glory, if you want a match tonight, I’m happy to oblige and also make clear to everyone in that Chamber why I’ve wanted this opportunity to get back to the top!”

Glory: “Just bring your masked guys. You may need them to save your ass by getting your disqualified!”

James: “If they show up, I’ll kick their ass too!”

James steps back as “Door to Door Cannibals” starts to play throughout the arena again.

Sharper: “James Evans and Glory Braddock challenging one another for tonight, on Breakdown!”

Knots: “Sasha better act quick. Things picking up here on Kansas!”

Sharper: “And we’re just getting started. If this is signed, huge main event. But we’re waiting for Sienna Swann and Bree Lancaster! We’re looking for answers regarding Selena Frost facing Xander Valentine in an Empty Arena match AFTER Under Attack goes off the air.”

Knots: “What else is going to happen tonight?”

James returns to the back as Glory Braddock remains in the ring, looking on as the crowd buzzes and we cut away.

Backstage, we see Asher Hayes walking backstage in his gear. The crowd cheers seeing him before we see Jessica Winters waiting for him. Asher Hayes smirks as he walks over to her, straightening the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder.

Jessica: “Asher, in a few moments, you’ll be facing Scarlet Grey. But last week, Regan Street sent a message. She looked right into the camera after pinning London Truelove saying that she’s ready for you.”

Asher smirks.

Asher: “Good. Because I’m ready to hold onto this. Remember what I said…every reign I’ve had in SCW…over one hundred days. I don’t mess around when I’m a champion! And Regan…you’ll be alone in a couple of days. I’m ready for you. I’ll even show it when I’m taking on Scarlet and Scarlet…I know you like to use your body to get ahead. But I’m one hundred percent focused!”

Jessica: “One hundred percent?”

Asher: “Okay…ninety-nine. She may throw something at me I don’t see coming. But…uh….Regan…don’t let that trap you. Totally set to kick your ass this Sunday!”

Asher smirks and walks off. Jessica shakes her head.

Jessica: “Our Adrenaline Champion, Adam…”

Sharper: “And he’ll be up next, in non-title action, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Scarlet Grey vs. Asher Hayes

Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix) begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down the ramp, putting every runway model in existence to shame without even actually trying. She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. Once she's in the ring she waits in the corner, eyes moving over to the referee with a look that's just begging for him to come over and 'inspect' her for foreign objects.

Sharper: “Our next contest will pit Scarlet Grey against the current SCW Adrenaline Champion, Asher Hayes.”

Knots: “Scarlet is coming off a loss against Datura, but with the fact that Datura had to step away due to an injury sustained at her hands, I’m sure Scarlet sees it as a win.”

Sharper: “You’d have to think she could look to do the same to Asher as well.”

The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Rope" by the Foo Fighters echo throughout the arena. At the 13 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the stage, the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder. He makes his way down the ramp as the cheers of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists, as well the Adrenaline title into the air, saluting the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side, repeating the same action. Asher steps down, handing the title to the timekeeper before turning his attention to Scarlet and the referee.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes, coming off a huge win over Regan Helms at Apocalypse. Just days away from the rematch.”

Knots: “It stole the show in its own right, and I’m sure they will do all they can to not only top that match but outdo one another.”

Sharper: “Regan teamed with Selena last week, picking up a win over the Truelove Twins. Asher would love to go into his title defense with momentum as well. Now, lets go to Phillips for our introductions.”

Asher and Scarlet are shown staring at one another as Phillips steps up.

Phillips: “This following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Parts Unknown, she is…Scarlet! Grey!”

The crowd can be heard booing.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, he is the current SCW Adrenaline Champion…he is…Asher! Hayes!”

The crowd cheers before the ref calls for the bell. Asher and Scarlet begin to circle one another, with Asher looking for a tie-up. Scarlet reaches up, only to step back before kicking Asher in the knee. Asher jerks back, circling around the ring.

Knots: “Scarlet showing no interest in a tie-up.”

Sharper: “Asher showing his vet instincts, probably remembering what Scarlet did to Datura’s leg.”

Asher steps forward for another tie-up. Scarlet goes for it, only to try to kick Asher in his knee once more, but Asher leaps up and forward, hitting a flying elbow, taking Scarlet off her feet. She hits the mat, before bouncing back up. Asher hits a dropkick, sending her into the ropes. Asher takes her down with a half-nelson bulldog. He goes for the cover.

Scarlet kicks out. Asher rolls over, getting to his feet, as does Scarlet. Asher charges, only for Scarlet to hit a dropkick to the knee. Asher flips over onto his back and Scarlet hits a leg drop. She gets to her feet, runs into and bounces off the ropes, before diving and connecting with a running baseball slide to the side of the head. Asher rolls away, to the rope. He gets to one knee as Scarlet charges. Asher hits an elbow, causing her to stagger back. Asher grabs Scarlet, but she fires away with a European uppercut. Asher staggers back, before Scarlet runs and grabs Asher taking him down with a tornado DDT. She hooks the leg.

Asher kicks out.

Sharper: “Both competitors getting a one count in each of their attempts.”

Asher rolls away, getting to his feet, only for Scarlet to charge, and catch him with a falling inverted DDT. Asher rolls over and gets to one knee. Scarlet clubs him in the back of the head a few times, before locking in the Scarlet Fever. The ref immediately goes to check on Asher.

Knots: “Scarlet showing off her technical skill. She’s been taking the fight to Asher, and now she has him in a submission.”

Asher quickly reaches over, grabbing the ropes. The ref begins his count.

Ref: “1…2…3…4…”

And Scarlet breaks the hold, getting to her feet, before driving her foot into the middle of Asher’s back. She does this over and over, until he manages to roll away and out of the ring.

Sharper: “Scarlet almost hitting that five count which would have disqualified her.”

Knots: “She kept up the attack, going after Asher’s back, which has seen injuries in the past.”

Asher gets to his feet, only for Scarlet to hit another baseball slide, causing Asher to land back first on an unprotected part of the floor. Scarlet rolls out and clubs a rising Asher, before whipping him into the ring post, spine first. Asher hits hard and drops to one knee.

Sharper: “Scarlet targeting the back.”

Knots: “She could try to injure him like she did Datura, as we mentioned earlier. She even dared Asher to defend the SCW Adrenaline Championship against her.”

Sharper: “Seems as if he is showing a little rust, so he’s probably glad he didn’t agree to it, if he knew about it in the first place.”

Scarlet charges, driving her hip into the right side of Asher’s head, as his left side hits and bounces off the ring post before he falls to the floor. Scarlet rolls into the ring, before rolling back out.

Sharper: “Scarlet breaking the ref’s count which was at 7.”

Scarlet stomps on Asher’s back once again, before kicking him in the head. Asher rolls away, getting to one knee. Scarlet charges, and Asher gets up, firing away with a back elbow, staggering Scarlet. He hits a European uppercut of his own, before rolling her into the ring. Asher slides in as she gets to her feet. Asher kicks her in to the abdomen, hooking Scarlet, before lifting her up, going for a powerbomb, but she reverses into a face buster. Scarlet hooks the leg.

Knots: “Gotta give her credit! Powerbomb into a face buster. Great reversal on the part of Scarlet Grey.”

Asher kicks out. He rolls over, getting to one knee only for Scarlet to connect with a running big boot. Asher hits the mat again, and she goes for another cover.

3…NO! Asher kicks out. Scarlet gets up and stomps Asher in the head once again, before grabbing him and locking in a headscissors crucifix choke.

Sharper: “Scarlet with the Fifty Shades of Grey, and Asher is in trouble.”

The ref checks on Asher, who refuses to submit. Scarlet pulls back even more, and Asher still refuses. Asher is shown slowly pushing up on his legs, before pushing up, pressing Scarlet’s shoulders to the ground as the ref counts.

Scarlet kicks out, breaking the hold.

Knots: “That was smart on Asher’s part. He was in trouble, as you said, but he turned the submission into a pin, to break the hold.”

Scarlet rolls over and gets to her feet. She charges, only for Asher to hit another European uppercut. She staggers back, as he shakes the cobwebs. He grabs her before hitting a belly to belly suplex. Both hit the mat, and Asher uses the ropes to get his feet.

Sharper: “Asher seems to have been through a hell of a fight. Using the ropes.”

Knots: “No telling what damage Scarlet has done, as she has constantly attacked his head and back.”

Scarlet gets to one knee, only for Asher to charge and connect with a running knee.

Sharper: “Asher connecting with the Dust to Dust.”

Asher rolls over as the crowd begins to cheer, rallying behind him. He uses the ropes to get to his feet once again. Scarlet is shown using the ropes as well. She turns and Asher runs, connecting with a spear. Scarlet rolls over, holding her ribs, before she is shown getting to one knee, only for Asher to hit Dust to Dust a second time. Asher grabs Scarlet up from the mat, hooking her before planting her with Ashes to Ashes. Asher hooks the leg.

Knots: “A second running knee, then the Ashes to Ashes. Is that enough to put Scarlet down?”

3!!!

The ref calls for the bell. The crowd explodes, as “Rope” hits the loud speakers. Asher rolls away, and gets to his feet, as the ref hands him the Adrenaline Championship, and raises his hand in victory.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes going through a hell of a fight, and despite it looking dim for him, he managed to turn things around, pulling off the win here tonight.”

Asher is shown walking up to the camera, glaring into it as he speaks.

Asher: “You’re ready? I’m ready, too! No matter the fight, Regan…you can’t count me out! Make sure you’re one hundred percent. No excuses.”

Asher then steps away, climbs the top rope, lifting his fist and the title in the air, as the crowd cheers him some more.

Knots: “Asher with a message of his own.”

Asher is shown celebrating, as Scarlet is slowly stirring, before cameras cut to Regan Helms, watching from a backstage monitor. Regan nods before we cut away again.

Backstage, we see Rachel Tatum Lee standing with Jessica Winters.

Jessica: “A lot of people on edge in SCW these days. Every match seems to have a new gravitas to it and we just saw Regan Street focused on Asher Hayes. You, Rachel, meanwhile are focused on earning a shot against Bree Lancaster, against the US Champion. You challenged Jake Starr, her last contender, to a one on one match. Both of you used to be two of the best. Both of you trying to get to that point. This match this Sunday, you have to be looking at it as a title match.”

Rachel: “Damn right. See, it’s been a bit of a learnin’ curve and not necessarily one I’m okay with. To go from Rise ta Greatness where Britt and I beat the ever-lovin’ hell out of each other to havin’ to wait to see what was next. Yeah, I had rust. Yeah, that was different. I was hittin’ a gear because I was findin’ somethin’ in me to fight for Britt. Now…I fight for me. I fight to get the opportunities I didn’t get the first time because of me.”

Rachel pauses.

Rachel: “But I also know how good I am. I know how good Jake was. And I hear he had some issues. Issues that had us staring across from one anotha at Takin’ Hold of the Flame. And at the end, he went up and over before I did. And Jake, I know ya want a win. Ya want ta get back on that horse. Maybe got another shot. Too bad. I may not be throwin’ weapons around. I may not be havin’ the wild brawls of the past. I may have had ta change a few things, but one thing that won’t…that I’ll win.”

Rachel stops and turns. Jake Starr claps slowly and walks into view.

Jake: “Good speech, Rachel. We don’t need to go down the history. We’ve seen it all. Caused all of the carnage. Had everyone against us. That’s all gone. We’re now just two people looking for their second chances. Getting used to new realities.”

Rachel: “Don’t mean I gotta like it.”

Jake: “Didn’t say you did. Just that you’re not the only one fighting for something. You want your shot at Bree or the US Champion if Tommy…and trust me, I’m hoping he wins….but I’m probably fighting for something else.”

Rachel: “And what’s that? Last I checked, y’all was happy to be here. Not exactly a great motivation.”

Jake: “Isn’t it…when frankly, I may not have been here at all if things went differently.”

Jake then turns and walks off as Rachel watches him leave as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as “The Old Me” plays in the background. A still of Glory Braddock vs. James Evans then comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and it is official. Sasha has signed the match!”

Knots: “Glory Braddock and James Evans meeting tonight in our main event. Both claiming they could beat the other. Last week proved it. Someone is going to get shut up tonight!”

The still remains on the screen for a few moments longer.

Casterillo vs. Cassidy Carter

Casterillo wins via pinfall; I will add the match when submitted by the match writer.

Breakdown cuts backstage as Jessica Winters is standing by with Sasha.

Jessica: “Thank you Adam and Sasha, we wanted to get some more information about what to expect not during Under Attack, but after. You have announced an empty arena match between Xander Valentine and Selena Frost, unsanctioned, so officially it won’t happen, but still…”

Sasha: “It’s exactly as it sounds. SCW will host Under Attack this Sunday. We’ll find out whether championships will be retained, who will win the Chamber match, and much more. But then fans will leave. Competitors will leave. Even ring crew will start to take apart what they safely can as we still will need to vacate the premises by noon the next day. And whenever all personnel, fans and competitors leave. Xander Valentine will be then allowed to arrive into the building. Selena, of course, will not be leaving and Aaron Demitra will be the official of record.”

Jessica: “So an SCW official will count the fall, whatever it may be.”

Sasha: “Being paid extra to do just that. He insisted to ensure their safety. But frankly, I cannot guarantee their safety. That is why this is unsanctioned. They can settle their issue. No fans at risk. No competitors. Selena, Xander, and Aaron Demitra, with a handful of camera operators. That will be it.”

Jessica: “That said, what if some people want to stay around-“

Sasha: “Well this is the catch. Everyone involved is saying hold harmless agreements. If you haven’t signed one, you are not allowed into the building. But this is where there is a concern. At this moment, Xander Valentine has been radio silent. And this is another issue – will Xander even show up?”

Jessica: “What if he doesn’t?”

Sasha: “I’ll breathe a sigh of relief.”

Jessica: “Fair…and the next question – fans undeniably are going to want to watch this.”

Sasha: “I won’t even guarantee we’ll show it. I know Selena wants it shown. But depending on what happens, the following Breakdown is one option. Another may be a special broadcast on Twitch, just as the God of Wrestling was shown. That will depend on what happens. I just pray that there are no serious injuries. This is by far the most personal situation I’ve had to deal with and while I can stand here and protect SCW, which is my job…I have a bad feeling about all of this.”

Jessica: “I know Selena wants this, Sasha. And you’re doing the right thing. You’re allowing this to be settled in the ring. But I also agree…It’s hard not to feel uneasy about this all.”

Sasha: “Well, we’ll see…”

Jessica: “Thank you for your time and for your clarification. Adam?”

We cut to a wide shot of the inside of the arena.

Sharper: “Looks like Sasha is taking the cautious approach.”

Knots: “With Xander, do you blame her?”

Sharper: “I don’t. But I just hope that we’re not talking about this Sunday for what may happen after the show. Breakdown will be back after this.”

The camera pans around the arena as “The Old Me” plays in the background and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see a shot of a staple gun before showing a knife. They go back and forth before the camera pans out to show Kim Williams holding both. The SCW World Tag Team Championship is in front of her on a shelf. Marie then walks over.

Kim: “Marie…if Christy Matthews attacks us…stabby or staple?”

Kim smiles.

Marie: “Uh…neither?!”

Kim: “Pfft. No fun. But you know we need to deal with that. We never can get rid of Infamous….Unless….”

Marie: “No. We’re not stabbing or stapling Ravyn.”

Kim pouts.

Kim: “So how am I supposed to get this Ravyn off our back?!”

Marie: “We need to focus on retaining the titles. Against Ryan and Autumn and they have zero effs to give.”

Kim: “So like me….I mean, I want to stab and staple things. So uh…”

Marie: “If Christy comes out, we’ll deal with it. We’ve been dealing with their actions for a while and we’re now holding gold!”

Kim: “But what if we hold gold and-“

Marie: “No! No stabby, stabby…No groping. No staple!”

Kim: “What about pointy shoes? Can I have pointy shoes?”

Marie: “Fine…you can have pointy shoes.”

Kim: “Excellent…I’m going to kick Christy in the head with pointy shoes if she comes out to help Ryan and Autumn win.”

Marie: “I’ll take it.”

Marie shrugs as we then cut to the ring.

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

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

The crowd boos 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. 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. 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, as he stretches his arms out. At this point, we see in the ring a table with a cloth over it.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor joining us here and he’s going to give us a shot. The All-Star.”

Knots: “Making sure everyone knows he’s here. He’s playing it up, but what the hell does he have in the ring?”

Sharper: “Obviously something under a cloth.”

Knots: “Really?! No, Sharper. I never figured that. What the hell is under there?”

Gavin then turns and walks over to the corner, grabbing a microphone waiting for him on the apron. He turns back and moves to the middle of the ring. He looks at the table with a cloth and quickly bends over and looks underneath it. He then smiles as he puts it down. He then stands up and looks out at the crowd as they boo. His music fades out and Gavin holds his hand up.

Gavin: “Don’t worry everyone. I have something special for all of you. I’ve been spending hours and hours with my crack staff trying to figure out how to make everything right before Under Attack this Sunday and first off, you’re welcome. You’re in the presence of greatness!”

Gavin smirks as he poses. The crowd boos some. Gavin looks around.

Gavin: “I know, I know. Some of you have never been in the position of seeing this greatness up close but trust me, it’s no mirage!”

Gavin walks to the table.

Gavin: “Now some of you are thinking, Gavin, why do you have a table covered by a sheet in the ring and that’s a very observant question! As I said, the All Star and all of the people who work with me worked AROUND THE CLOCK to make sure we could make a peace offering ahead of this Sunday, where there’s been just a complete misunderstanding. I mean, I thought Kandis would appreciate that I just wanted to make an impact, give her someone she recognized. Make her time here in SCW a little less random. I mean I’m a friendly face! And so I played to a special moment we had.”

Gavin shakes his head.

Gavin: “It was totally innocent. I tried to get her to realize I learned from the past. This time, cold water. But apparently, I could’ve worked on the delivery. I didn’t realize she had PTSD or something like that. I get it. And so, I had my team develop the perfect collection of gifts as a peace offering. And this is even AFTER she ruined another return home to Canada by getting involved! THAT’s how big of a guy I am! Not as big as her ass, but still big! Now!”

The crowd boos as Gavin turns and grabs the cloth with one hand.

Gavin: “So without further ado, the greatest collection of forgiveness gifts EVER!”

Gavin pulls the cloth off. On the table is a glass of water, a plastic cover and a couple of folded cloths. The crowd boos.

Knots: “Uh…Gavin…that’s a glass of water.”

Gavin turns and looks at it.

Gavin: “To prove I am out of the hot water game, I give you a glass of lukewarm water. Look!”

Gavin places his fingers into the glass, swirls it around. He then flicks it at himself.

Gavin: “Oh so moderately refreshing!”

Gavin then looks around.

Gavin: “And wait…to avoid it spilling on you, whether by me for impact or by you in carelessness, I got this!”

Gavin turns and grabs the plastic piece, turning it over, revealing it to be a sippy cup lid. He places it on the glass. He steps back proudly.

Gavin: “No more spills!”

Gavin looks around as the crowd boos.

Knots: “How corny…”

Sharper: “Well Gavin seems proud of himself.”

Gavin: “Now, I know Kandis, you’re probably backstage still skeptical. It’s one of your best traits! But I have a back up plan. What if you still spill? What if you still can handle your liquids! Well don’t worry!”

Gavin then grabs one of the folded cloths and holds it up, revealing a towel that says “All-Star Ass”. Gavin smiles as the crowd boos.

Gavin: “You can now, with your personalized All-Star Ass towel, commemorate our history together and make sure you never get wet again….er….uh…wait…”

The crowd roars.

Gavin: “But you can quench your thirst safely. Tomorrow when you celebrate Thirty Thursday as you are wanton to do, you can do so safely. And if you spill, need to clean it up. What if you have another liquid related accident…Never fear!”

Gavin grabs the other folded up cloth, revealing a second towel.

Gavin: “Two for the price of one!”

The crowd boos as Gavin smiles widely.

Gavin: “Oh Gavin, this is a new high for greatness. And Kandis, it’s all to commemorate this that way, when I beat you this Sunday, it can be a respectful affair as I take off into the stratosphere and you….uh…hang out with Tommy? Maybe he’ll be champ? Even if he is a bit of a violent man-“

The crowd cheers as we see Kandis walking out from the back. She has a microphone in her hand. She heads down to the ring as Gavin turns and smiles.

Gavin: “And you’re even coming out here to accept my gift. See Kandis…you’ve grown as a person here.”

Kandis walks down to the ring, looking quite unimpressed as she reaches the ring. She walks up the steel steps and then steps into the ring. Gavin smiles as he grabs the towels and the glass of water. He extends them to her. Kandis looks at them and then smacks the glass out of his hand and grabs the towel and throws it out into the crowd. Gavin backs up.

Kandis: “Really, Gavin…this is what you’re doing. Practically slapping me in the face with this joke! You could have permanently injured me a year ago and then you redo it for a laugh and now this. As for the towels, they suit you, as you damn sure at the All Star Ass!”

The crowd roars as Gavin looks around, shocked. The crowd starts to chant “All Star Ass! All Star Ass!” Kandis smirks.

Kandis: “All that’s going to happen is that I’m going to introduce you to SCW by kicking your ass. The water, the insults, the running, the gauntlet attack at Apocalypse-“

Gavin: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was trying to put that all behind us. But if you want to talk about slaps to the face, well-“

Gavin then smacks Kandis turns to a knee, holding her jaw as the crowd ohs and boos.

Gavin: “Now you have something to upset about…that and me kicking your ass this Sunday!”

Kandis then gets up and lunges for Gavin. Gavin backs up and falls over. He scrambles out of the ring and to the floor. Kandis lunges while on the mat and reaches for him as Gavin backs away. He then throws the microphone at her for good measure before jogging away. Kandis gets up and looks at Gavin.

Kandis: “You know what Gavin…I will make sure that you pay for this and everything else this Sunday. You’re not running anywhere!”

Gavin: “Backs away and walks around the ring.

Gavin: “Hey! I think she’s thirsty for me!”

Sharper: “Gavin with a slap. Another disrespectful act!”

Knots: “The All-Star Antagonist!”

Sharper: “But Kandis is ready to get her shot, one on one, this Sunday!”

Gavin laughs as he walks around the ring. Kandis watches him annoyed. Gavin backs up to the back before suddenly glancing behind him and turning and jumping off the rampway to the floor. He taps his head as he looks around and heads around the stage before we cut away.

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still of Selena Frost vs. Max Kane then comes up.

Sharper: “Selena Frost will face Xander Valentine this Sunday in an empty arena match after Under Attack goes off the air. To prepare, she faces SCW’s resident daredevil, Max Kane, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Gavin Taylor is seen walking backstage. He looks around before he suddenly darts back.

Gavin: “It was a misunderstanding!”

Gavin runs off as Tommy Valentine walks over, looking at him.

Tommy: “Can’t wait to see her kick your ass!”

Tommy looks around as Spirit Dansby is seen next to Tommy. Tommy turns back and looks at her.

Tommy: “Sorry about that. But then again, given who you spend time with, I expect you to not care.”

Spirit: “You’re right, but I’ve been assigned to get your thoughts on facing Bree this Sunday.”

Tommy: “Aren’t you going to just give me Bree’s words? Tell me how I shouldn’t be here? Then again, her actions seemed to suggest that all the same. Sending Scott Burnside out to help me win when I didn’t need it.”

Spirit: “Derek Adonis did seem to be building some momentum and had you on the ropes.”

Tommy: “And Bree should know that sometimes people get lucky shots. But the fact that she needed Scott, and not just that, wanted to face me, I’m sure she has some self-righteous reason for it, but for me, it pissed me off. I don’t need her handouts. But…come Under Attack, she’s going to look back at last week as the night she ensured she’d be losing the US Title. Come this Sunday, I’m adding some more gold to my hall of fame resume. And unlike last time she lost the title, she can legitimately claim its her fault. Just won’t be by design.”

Tommy turns and walks off. Spirit watches him leave as we cut to the ring.

Selena Frost vs. Max Kane

BELIEVE IT!

The SCW Universe are on their feet as “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is no holds barred!...”

Sharper: “Wait a minute. That’s new!”

Phillips: “…First, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Winter’s Soldier, Selena Frost!”

Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as she lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm upward, her back arm lifted behind her to the sky. With a lift of her right foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring! Reaching the ring, Selena slides under the ropes to enter it. She gets up and 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. With a slam of her foot, Selena caused the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. She looks around as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Now that this is no holds barred, something makes a bit more sense. This is a showcase. This is Selena Frost trying to send a message to Xander Valentine!”

Knots: “Yeah, but again Max Kane. The guy’s nuts. This could be bad for Selena! And Xander, I’m sure, is watching!”

Sharper: “To be fair, we don’t even know if Xander has agreed! The match is effectively allowed to occur, provided Selena AND Xander agree to unsanction it”

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

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

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

Phillips: “Her opponent, from San Francisco, California,  he is the Rock’n’Roll Unicorn, Mad Max Kane!”

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

Max: “No DQ? This is gonna be fun!”

Max smiles a bit before it fades, continuing to stand by the ropes close to ringside. The referee talks to him but Max waves him off. Max grips the top turnbuckle, steeling himself for the match ahead.

Sharper: “Max Kane seems to be relishing this opportunity.”

Knots: “He wins here and he’s back in the minds of a lot of people. Rachel Tatum Lee has been saying some things about him, but he’s got a chance to shut a lot of people up here. That makes someone dangerous!”

Max Kane and Selena Frost look at one another. The crowd cheers as the bell sounds. Selena runs at Kane. Kane goes for a clothesline. Selena ducks under and gets up. Kane gets up and Selena hits a dropkick. Kane hits the mat. He rolls over and gets up and Selena runs at him and jumps up and hits a crossbody, sending Kane back to the ropes and both go up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Frost all over Kane!”

Knots: “Crossbody to the floor! Xander better be ready. Looks like Selena wants to fight this Sunday!”

Selena rolls through. He starts to get up and Kane rolls over. He starts to get up and Selena runs over and nails him with a forearm and then kicks him in the thigh. Kane falls to a knee and Selena hits a shoot kick to the chest. Kane falls back. He rolls over and Selena turns and grabs the ring skirt and pulls it up before pulling out a trash can. She looks it and throws it up the rampway. She then grabs a broom. She turns and walks over and slams it in the back of Kane. It snaps over his back and Kane falls to the mat. Selena then looks around before turning back to the ring. She looks underneath and grabs a steel chair. She pulls it up and Kane pulls himself up and Selena turns back and goes to lift it up, but Kane hits a back elbow to the jaw of Selena. Selena falls to the mats. The crowd gives a mixed reaction.

Sharper: “Kane fighting back as Selena was thinking about using a chair there.”

Knots: “Not just thinking. She was going to swing!”

Sharper: “A departure from her usual approach.”

Selena stirs and Kane turns and grabs her and turns and throws her hard into the steel steps. Selena falls back, holding her shoulder as the steps barely budge. Kane looks around and smirks before turning and going over to the garbage can Selena threw away and grabs it. He turns back as Selena stirs and Kane slams it into her back. He then places it next to her. Kane turns and climbs up onto the apron and looks around before turning climbing to the top rope. The crowd roars. He spins around and looks at Selena on the middle turnbuckle. He then dives off and goes for a flip dive, but Selena moves out of the way and Kane crushes the garbage can underneath him as he rolls over, holding his back in pain. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Kane missed and that garbage can and the mats all that broke his fall!”

Knots: “The guy is nuts!”

Selena gets up and turns and grabs the steel chair. Kane starts to roll over and get up and Selena slams the chair into his back. Kane falls to the mats. Selena lifts it up and slams it onto his back again. Selena turns and throws it into the ring. Selena looks around as the crowd roars. He glances at the crowd, almost expecting Xander before grabbing Kane and kicking him in the ribs. Kane rolls over. Selena turns and climbs up to the apron. Kane starts to pull himself up and staggers up and Selena springboards to the middle rope and dives back with an asai moonsault. The crowd roars as Kane goes down and Selena lands on her feet and rolls through.

Sharper: “Selena throwing in some agility, just for good measure! Moonsault takes down Kane!”

Knots: “Yeah, but Xander could catch her! She needs to be careful about that!”

Sharper: “But before Rise to Greatness, she showed. She’ll do anything to win. Take any chance. A nice nod to that!”

Kane rolls over as Selena starts to get up. She stomp him in the chest and then again. She grabs him and drags him up and runs him into the ring apron. Kane falls back. Selena then reaches underneath and grabs a table. She pulls it up and lifts it up as the crowd roars. She then turns and places it against the ring, but Kane gets up and grabs the table. Selena grabs him and Kane uses the table and drives it into the face of Selena. She falls back. Kane then places the table against the apron. Kane turns back and walks over grabs Selena and pulls her up before turning and throwing her face first into the table. Selena falls over. Kane lifts the table up and into the ring. Selena slowly gets up and turns and grabs Kane and forearms her and then again before Kane headbutts her. Selena hits the mats. The crowd ohs. Kane staggers.

Sharper: “That headbutts and Selena dropped!”

Knots: “The impact from the headbutt from Kane and then the floor!”

Kane pulls her up and drags her up and rolls her into the ring. Kane then reaches under the ring and grabs a second chair and slides it in. He then grabs another chair and slides it in. He slides in. He then kicks one chair toward the middle of the ring and then takes the second one and places it down before Selena slowly gets up and Kane quickly hoists her up and onto his shoulders and throws her back with a Samoan drop onto the chairs. The crowd ohs. Selena grimaces in pain.

Sharper: “Into the chairs! No give! Kane throwing her down!”

Knots: “She may not be in one piece going into Under Attack!”

Kane goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Selena kicks out. The crowd roars. Kane rolls off. He nods and Selena rolls over. Kane grabs her and runs her into the corner. Kane turns and runs after her and nails her with a running clothesline. Selena falls to the mat. Kane turns around and looks around before grabbing one steel chair and unfolding it. He places it a few feet away from the corner. He grabs the second one and unfolds it too. He then grabs Selena and pulls her up and scoops her up and slams her onto the steel chair seats. Selena winces as the crowd ohs. She remains on them, leaning on them. Kane then turns and starts to climb up to the top rope. He looks out at the crowd and smirks before diving back and going for a no-look dive. Selena pulls herself up and dives to the corner. Kane goes through the chairs as the crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Oh my God!”

Knots: “What the hell is wrong with him?!”

Sharper: “A no-look dive. Selena moved out of the way!”

Selena turns and runs into the ropes as Kane rolls over and Selena hits a lionsault onto Kane. She goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Kane shoots his shoulder up. The crowd roars. Selena looks up. She then gets up and grabs Kane. She hooks him up and hits a snap suplex. Kane rolls over in pain. Selena turns and pulls the table up and unfolds the legs. She puts it on its side and then flips it onto its legs, positioned toward the corner. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Table set up and Selena may be looking to end this!”

Knots: “I hate to ask this question, but Selena’s showing she can brawl, but there’s a lot of plunder here. How much of it is going to be around at Under Attack? It’s after the show is over?”

Sharper: “If people leave it under the ring. Selena has it arranged…I don’t know…”

Kane stirs as Selena grabs him and drags him up. She drags him to the table, but Kane elbows her in the ribs and then again before grabbing her and driving her face first into the top turnbuckle. Selena staggers back and Kane pushes her onto the table. Kane turns and smiles and exits to the apron. He starts to climb up to the top rope. Selena rolls off and nails him in the ribs. She nails him in the jaw then with a pump kick. Kane leans on a knee on the top turnbuckle before Selena climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. The crowd roars. Kane steps up and Selena nails him again before climbing up to the top rope and hitting a top rope hurricanrana, driving Max Kane through the table. The crowd erupts in cheers. Both are down.

Sharper: “Selena off the top, taking Kane over and driving him through the table!”

Knots: “And Kane somehow is still moving!”

Sharper: “So is Selena!”

Selena rolls over as Kane rolls over. He winces and tries to push himself up but falls over. Selena gets up and staggers forward as Kane pulls himself up and Selena lunges and nails him with the Glass Shard. Kane falls to the mat. Selena drops down and rolls through for the pin.

1!

2!

3!

The crowd cheers. Selena rolls off.

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

Selena starts to get up as the crowd cheers and her music plays.

Sharper: “Selena Frost with an emphatic win at the end. The hurricanrana through the table and then the Glass Shard.”

Knots: “Kane wouldn’t stop fighting until he just couldn’t!”

Sharper: “And Xander, I hope he’s watching so he knows that Selena Frost is ready for whatever he may throw at her this Sunday after Under Attack in the empty arena match!”

Selena starts to get up and walks over to the ropes. She glances back at Kane and the carnage and winces a bit. She walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone. Phillips walks over and hands her one. Selena takes it and turns around. Her music starts to fade out.

Selena: “Xander!”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “I hope you were watching. Because this Sunday, if you want to prove that you actually are better than me, than Regan, than everyone…I’ve got the arena in which you can do anything. So Xander…sign the hold harmless. Come fight me. I’m not backing down. I will do WHATEVER I have to and I know all it will take it ONE kick to take you out. This time…with an empty arena…I’ll make sure all we here this time is the impact of my foot to your jaw and the end of ANY semblance of dominance you ever had in this company! BELIEVE IT!”

Selena drops the microphone. She then walks forward and looks out at the crowd. She then points to them and nods. The crowd cheers for her some more.

Sharper: “Pointing to the crowd, doing it for them, doing it for SCW.”

Knots: “But they won’t be there. Selena won’t be feeding off them. And it will be a very different situation than Rise to Greatness!”

Sharper: “But Selena is hoping for the same conclusion. She caught all of the Defying Gravity there. Now, unsanctioned…officially, it won’t happen, but both Xander and Selena know what it means!”

Selena then drops down to the floor, rolling to the floor. She then starts to head to the back as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Selena Frost walking backstage, almost in a state of calm. She runs her hands through her hair as she takes a few steps down the hallway before we see Jessica Winters heading over to her.

Selena: “Jessica…want an interview? I said everything that I needed to out there.”

Jessica: “No…Sasha hear from Xander.”

Sasha then comes into the scene, holding a tablet. She turns and spins it to Selena.

Selena: “What’s this?”

Sasha: “Read it.”

Selena looks at it.

Selena: “My client…it’s from his lawyer?”

Sasha: “Keep reading.”

Selena scans it for a moment before stopping and taking a deep breath.

Selena: “This attempt by Ms. Frost to attack my client, Mr. Valentine, is obvious. While he would like to attend, it is my legal opinion that Mr. Valentine should not compete without assurances-“

Selena thrusts the tablet back at Sasha.

Selena: “So he’s running.”

Sasha: “Could be a smokescreen. Could be legitimate. Right now, we’re still in arbitration. We’re waiting the results of legal ramifications. The invitation is there. He will need to sign the agreement, but you should know, we cannot force him to be there. SCW is not covering his transportation in this case. It’s up to whether he wants that fight or not.”

Selena: “He’s been watching me and picking fights for months. He’s getting what he wants. So he can either show up and take it…or frankly, he proves me right. He has no future in SCW as a credible wrestler. And with that in mind…I expect him there.”

Sasha: “That’s fine. But I’m just letting you know.”

Selena: “I understand…But you’re wrong.”

Selena then walks off as Sasha watches her leave.

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

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

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

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

“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to erupt into a sea of boos as they know who is about to make their presence felt. The curtains part as Ravyn Taylor walks out onto the stage with CHBK, Alexander Crowe and Syren. The crowd boos some more. A few feet behind them is Abigail Lindsay who saunters out. She looks around. She then looks at Ravyn as Ravyn turns to her. Abigail nods and motions before motioning away from her and turning around and heading back to the back. Syren meanwhile heads to the ring with Alexander Crowe. CHBK is a few steps behind them. Ravyn then takes up the rear.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay coming out with Infamous. She’s apparently returning to the back. Syren and Ravyn the focal point here, but look who is missing.”

Knots: “Christy Matthews. Some issues last week. Some disagreement about priorities and now she’s not out here with Infamous.”

Sharper: “Given that Ravyn made clear that Christy Matthews, if she wants what she wants, which we assume is the World Tag Team Championship, she needs to force some issues. And then she promised it.”

Knots: “Looks like Twin Magic will need to worry about that now! More scheming!”

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor meanwhile has to worry about Jordan Majors and Syren, she’s in the Chamber match!”

Syren reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She then steps through the ropes and into the ring. Crowe is next, followed by CHBK. CHBK turns to Ravyn as Ravyn mockingly motions to the ropes. CHBK smirks and holds the ropes open for her as Ravyn enters. She walks around as Syren goes to the corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle, and looks out, the crowd booing her. Ravyn walks over to the corner and demands a microphone. The referee hands her one. Ravyn turns back to the middle of the ring. The crowd boos as the music fades out. Ravyn turns around.

Ravyn: “Could you please stop your vocal representations of your ire towards us? People are home are watching to see us, not you.”

The crowd boos loudly as Ravyn looks around.

Ravyn: “I come with a simple message.”

Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “Ms. Majors, you made a challenge to me last week. A challenge for a match at Under Attack. Admirable I must say. I always am intrigued by those who come after me. In this case, your desire for petty revenge is what it is…petty. But, your challenge was done in a fit of emotion. You were stunned there would be repercussions for your actions, attacking my useful tool.”

Ravyn smiles.

Ravyn: “So Jordan…while my wife reminds the world why this Sunday she will be regaining the World Championship and setting a new record for excellence in professional wrestling, think long and think hard…this is your opportunity to realize the foolishness of your challenge. You can back out and no one will say anymore. Because remember the last time I elected to make an example out of you. Next time, I will dare act more permanently if I must. Quoth the Ravyn, Nevermore!”

The crowd boos as Ravyn brings the microphone down. She smirks as the boos continue. Ravyn then hands the microphone to Syren. Syren takes it and looks around as the boos only grow. She listens to them for a few moments before bringing the microphone to her mouth.

Syren: “Good thing that the World Championship is not determined by a popular vote.”

The crowd boos some more.

Syren: “See, that’s the thing. In this ring, what matters are wins and losses and the fact is and you all need to understand it, while you pay your tickets to watch us, it doesn’t help me win. It doesn’t even help me get the opportunities. I played that game for years. Now I see people like Glory Braddock playing it, claiming the high road when you know deep down she respects what I do. James Evans…his only World Title reign came by being the worst person that he was. Sienna Swann…she’s not smart enough to pull of anything I have.”

Syren smirks.

Syren: “But then there are the goody-two-shoes, Owen and Alistaire. Alistaire got lucky one night and beat me for the title. He’s been vindicated! He’s been proven right. Competition is the best way and overcomes everything. What a load of crap!”

Syren shakes her head.

Syren: “Owen, you’re part of this two. Proudly holding the title, holding the moral highground. Thinking your self-righteousness makes you better. No…it just shows that you are naïve. Oh no…I’ve said the world that Alistaire hates. The one that he claims he’s proven he’s not. I mean he had a hell of a run, a story of the ages, winning the Taking Hold of the Flame, then the main event at Rise to Greatness before his so-called progressive reign ended with Owen Cruze outwrestling him. They may have respect, but let’s make one thing clear…he knows, in the back of his mind, that no matter how good he is, he could slip. More importantly, he believes that hard work and determination will win all.”

Syren shakes her head.

Syren: “Please. If that’s the case, I would’ve gotten my rematch at Apocalypse. Owen would’ve have gotten the shot. But wait…I conned my way here. If it’s about effort, if anyone believes I don’t give over one hundred percent in that ring, they’re lying to their faces. But Alistaire, Owen, see your little claim that competition does all…I believed the same. I bought into it. And well, here we are. Where I know I’m not going to my rightfully earned shots. I have earned a layer of infamy. You want someone who will make sure they competing and try to win. That’s me. You want someone who the people want to see…that’s me.”

The crowd boos. Syren looks around.

Syren: “You want a leader. A top talent. Someone who even has royalty in this sport supporting her…that’s me. And Alistaire, Owen…too bad because after this Sunday, you’ll quickly realize how sudden that drop to the bottom is. You hit the highest of highs and just like that chair I hit all of you with last week, you’ll feel it that quick as you fall to the lowest of lows.”

Syren smirks. The crowd boos some more as she lets that sink in.

Syren: “So let’s make this clear – James Evans won’t be suddenly returning to the top. Sienna Swann had her moment. It’s done. Glory Braddock will be a never was with the SCW World Championship. Alistaire and Owen will learn a hard lesson for how harsh this sport really is. And the greatest wrestler in SCW history will win her record setting eighth World Championship. And if I have to, I’ll remind everyone of that tonight so they get used to it by Sunday.”

Syren looks at the camera.

Syren: “And all of you have one recourse…to be TOTALLY Jealous. Any questions?”

Syren brings the microphone down. “Groupie” then starts to play. The crowd boos some more as Syren looks around.

Sharper: “Syren confident, but remember, no matter the plan, it’s in the Chamber.”

Knots: “It’s a different ball game. Everyone has to effectively, to some degree, be on their own.”

Sharper: “But Syren clearly also ignoring her own struggles. She needed a plan to get through Taking Hold of the Flame. The plans failed at Rise to Greatness. Apocalypse, she lost to Aaron Blackbourne. She needs to win. She knows it, but she’s trying to hide that maybe, just maybe, that desire for competition to prove who is the best in that ring is too much for her.”

Knots: “We can hope, right?”

Sharper: “And what about Ravyn’s comments to Jordan Majors? No response yet. She is here.”

Knots: “I hope she’s not rethinking it!”

Syren looks around as she turns to CHBK. CHBK talks to her a bit before the four stand in the ring, raising their arms up. The crowd boos some more as they continue to stand in the ring, enjoying the negative reaction.

Breakdown cuts to the back areas of the building to show a limousine pulling up to the building. The crowd can be heard making noise as the limousine comes to a stop.

Knots: “Do I even need three guesses on who is in there?”

Sharper: “We assume that’s going to be the Beauty Factory, arriving quite late here tonight.”

Knots: “The chauffeur’s not even getting out. What the hell?”

Sharper: “I don’t know. But hopefully we can hear from Sienna Swann or Bree Lancaster soon, if that is them, here tonight!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:

We see a still of Ravyn Taylor, CHBK, Alexander Crowe and Syren walking down the hallway.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Infamous returning to their locker room during the commercial break and Jordan Majors quickly made a statement!”

The film continues as Infamous takes a few more steps before we see Jordan Majors running up to Ravyn Taylor. Ravyn looks up and before she can even react, Jordan nails her with a forearm shot. Ravyn drops to the floor. The crowd roars. Syren steps up and nails her with a shot and then another. Crowe checks on Ravyn as CHBK stops Syren. Jordan rolls back and moves to her knees. She gets up, a bit gingerly and steps forward as officials come into the view.

Syren: “You want us to end your career now?! Really, Jordan?!”

CHBK: “Syren…easy…”

Jordan is held back as officials keep her back. Ravyn starts to get up and we see her smirking, almost surprised by Jordan.

Knots: “Jordan just walked right up to Ravyn and took a shot!”

Sharper: “That’s one way to respond! And Syren was fired up. Syren was ready to fight. Again, Ravyn and Syren so connected in so much here. In their plotting.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Damian Angel

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song.

Behind those eyes lies the truth and grief
Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins

Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp , inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd. The lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel to the ring...

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from Hell, Michigan, he is the Hellbound Messiah, Damian Angel!”

He reaches the end of the rampway and Angel has rolled toward the centre of the ring, pulling himself to one knee. Damian runs his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo, immediately springing to his feet thereafter. Damian unfastens the clasps of his rope, letting it drop down to the mat behind him. He glares out over the crowd. Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell. He repeats this process on the other three sides of the ring, and after the last one he hops off the turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Damian Angel has been watching Peyton Rice. I don’t know if this is just interest-“

Knots: “It’s Damian. It’s nefarious, whatever it is.”

Sharper: “May very well be. He’ll however have a challenge tonight against Aaron Blackbourne who many have lumped in with Owen, with Alistaire, with Peyton. That group of competitors, of wrestlers, here in SCW looking to make competition the primary goal. A pride in being the best.”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. When the lyrics kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations. When the song hits the chorus, several spotlights suddenly shine down onto the stage to reveal the creative soul himself standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers. Next to him under the spotlight is a painting situated on an easel. Aaron looks at the painting with a smile before motioning for the camera to get a good look at it as he begins heading down to the ring as the  lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed. Instead of following him, the camera pans in on the painting, which very clearly looks like Abigail Lindsay riding her motorcycle along a desert road, although she looks like the wind is slowly causing her to be reduced to dust and drift along in its breeze the farther she travels, perhaps due to a noticeable area of her motorcycle having the familiar design of a melting skull with a nail having been driven diagonally into it from the top right carved into it, it's curse taking its toll.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Seattle, Washington, he is Aaron Blackbourne!”

The shot suddenly cuts back to the ring just in time to catch Blackbourne leaping onto the apron and quickly climbing so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in his usual raised and outstretched pose, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead while glancing up at the painting he left on the stage, a small smile gracing his lips.

Sharper: “Blackbourne is ready to compete here, but he needs to be careful too. Abigail Lindsay I’m sure is watching. She made it clear that she’s going after him because of Syren.”

Knots: “I hate to say he should’ve seen it coming. But you know that there’s a desperation in it. Never before has someone really been sent after someone who beat Syren. There was a plan. But Ravyn’s sending Abigail after Aaron. This is new.”

Blackbourne looks at Damian as the bell sounds. Damian and Aaron circle a bit before lunging at one another and locking up. They push back on one another and Damian pushes him away. They break and Damian nails him with a hard right. Aaron turns and Damian chops him. The crowd woos. Aaron turns and chops him. The crowd woos. He kicks him in the ribs and pushes him into the ropes. He fires him off. Damian bounces off the other side and Aaron drops to a knee and elbows Damian in the ribs before hitting a snapmare. He runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for a running knee. Damian ducks. Blackbourne stops and spins around. Damian gets up and grabs him in a headlock. He then drags him over to the ropes.

Sharper: “Damian grabbing Aaron, forcing him to the ropes.”

Knots: “Why would you go to the ropes?!”

Damian then runs Blackbourne’s face across the top rope. The crowd ohs and Blackbourne falls to a knee.

Knots: “Oh. Well then!”

Damian grabs him and goes to whip him across, but Blackbourne stops and pulls him into his knee. Damian flips over and Blackbourne holds onto his arm. He steps over Damian, rolling him over and hits a dropkick to the side of Damian. Damian rolls over in pain. Blackbourne gets up and Damian starts to get up and Blackbourne runs into the ropes and jumps to the middle rope and jumps back with a leg drop to the head of Damian. Damian hits the mat. Blackbourne goes for the pin.

Damian kicks out. He rolls over and Blackbourne grabs him by the head.

Sharper: “Blackbourne starting to show his ability to use the ring, to keep Damian off kilter.”

Knots: “And holding on. Not letting Damian just get away. Knows that’s not a good thing. The man is a former World Champion!”

Damian fights a bit and Blackbourne knees him in the ribs. He then wrenches his arm and hits a shoot kick to the ribs. Damian bends over and Blackbourne rolls across his back and then hits an arm drag. Damian rolls through and gets up to his feet and Blackbourne kicks him in the ribs and hits a vertical suplex. He floats over for the pin.

Blackbourne pushes him off. Both get up and Damian hits an overhead chop to the chest and then a knife-edged chop to the chest. The crowd woos after both and Damian scoops him up and slams him down. He then exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. Blackbourne gets up and Damian hits a double axe handle smash to the face. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Damian going a bit high-risk. Nothing too high risk. But making sure to get all of that sledge.”

Knots: “Just driving it right to the bridge of the nose. Focusing on the creative center of Blackbourne. His head!”

Damian then backs to the ropes, bounces off and hits a running knee drop. He rolls through and dives back, hooking the leg.

Blackbourne kicks out. Damian rolls off. Blackbourne rolls over and stirs and Damian spins him around. He then whips him hard into the corner.

Both get up and Blackbourne kicks Damian in the head hooks his head with a half nelson and lifts him up before flipping him over into a backbreaker. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Blackbourne with half nelson backbreaker!”

Knots: “Just muscling Angel up. Angel may now feel like hell!”

Damian holds his back and Blackbourne pulls him up and hits a blue thunder bomb.

Sharper: “Blackbourne got all of that. Damian caught! The cover!”

1!

2!

3!

The crowd cheers.

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

Blackbourne rolls off and then starts to get up. He has his arm raised. As he does, we then Abigail Lindsay walking out from the back, wearing a leather jacket. She looks at the ring and then the painting Blackbourne painted. Lindsay looks at it and then the ring as Blackbourne steps up to the ropes. Lindsay nods before then reaching into her coat and pulling out a knife. She then turns and plunges it into the canvas. The crowd boos. She then draws it across, leaving a massive gash in front of the painting before she turns and backs up and walks to the back. The crowd boos.

Knots: “Guess she didn’t like it.”

Sharper: “Or may be more a metaphor. All the work…will be for nothing.”

Knots: “We’ll find out at Under Attack!”

Blackbourne looks on and nods as we cut away.

Backstage, we see the limousine that pulled up earlier. It remains idling as we then see a couple of Sedans driving up to the limousine. They park on the other side, one after the other.

Sharper: “Two cars driving up to the limousine here.”

Knots: “Security kidding them out? I mean the car is idling…”

We then see the doors open and men dressed in security gear step out and one walks toward the front of the limousine, one to the front of the first car, before the other two come out of the second car and mirror this situation.

Sharper: “Looks like security for the Beauty Factory. If that is them.”

Knots: “It’s got to be.”

Sharper: “And…”

Knots: “What?”

Sharper: “It looks like it is. I’m being told, when we return, Spirit Dansby will be speaking with the Beauty Factory. She is heading to the limousine now. That, when we return, here on Breakdown.”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns and we see Sienna Swann stepping out of the limousine. The crowd boos seeing her. She steps forward and turns back as Chris Cannon then steps out. The crowd boos some more. Sienna looks around as Bree then steps out after him. She looks at the US Championship before glancing back and Scott Burnside steps out.

Sharper: “As we expected, the Beauty Factory here.”

Knots: “So is Chris Cannon!”

Sharper: “And so they are with a lot of additional support.”

Spirit Dansby walks over to Sienna, who smiles at her.

Spirit: “I see you’ve found your own way to make an entrance.”

Sienna: “Needed to take some precautions after the last couple of weeks.”

Spirit: “Well whenever you’re ready, I’ll happily give you the floor.”

Sienna: “Oh Spirit…Sasha won’t be happy about that.”

Spirit: “Please…with the talent here? Who wants to go first? Chris?”

Chris steps forward. He scoffs as Sienna looks at him lovingly.

Chris: “I don’t have much to say. Because while I should be getting ready to get into that ring. Maybe even having a proper match where I can prove that James Evans doesn’t deserve the shot he has…or finally getting the opportunity I’m owed…I need to sit on the sidelines.”

Chris points to his head.

Chris: “Not cleared. SCW doctors won’t clear me…”

Chris chuckles.

Chris: “I’ll at least me in her corner.”

Chris looks at Sienna. Sienna and him kiss as Bree steps up.

Bree: “I’ll let them have a moment. Because I get to deal with Tommy ‘newly minted hall of famer’ Valentine, defending my title against him. I heard his little rant earlier. You had a problem with me sending Scott out there? Trust me, there was no way in hell I was going to allow Derek Adonis a shot at this title. But…”

Bree pauses.

Bree: “You should be thanking me. Because Adonis looked like he had you. And well, you had an issue with what I said about the tournament field….about how none of you deserved a shot at me. That riled you up. Well, Tommy…let’s see if I can get you riled up again. Because as far as I’m concerned, you won’t have my help this Sunday. I’m not going to lie down or make it easy. I’m going to just prove that this…you’re not winning it and I am FAR better than you!”

Bree holds up her title before she steps back and Sienna steps up as Spirit motions to the camera. Sienna steps forward.

Sienna: “You’re probably all wondering why we’re doing this. You’re probably wondering why I took my knee and cracked Glory’s jaw with it last week. But Sienna, we were on the same page. Apparently not! It’s as simple as that. I don’t have time to weigh things. She had a chance. Prove she was willing to stand behind everything she told me all week long or prove she was too soft to win the Chamber. She proved the latter. Good bye Glory. And at Under Attack, I’ll be waiting for your receipt. I’ll give you a kiss goodbye again!”

Sienna then turns around and extends her arms, showing off the limousine and the security.

Sienna: “What about all of this?”

Sienna turns to the camera and smiles.

Sienna: “This is me protecting Bree, Chris and myself. From the masked men attacking Chris and giving him a concussion…to Xander Valentine attacking me…and I know he could be around here. I’m not taking a chance. This company won’t protect me. It won’t protect the most important group in SCW. But that’s fine. See, we thought about it all week. We could show up. We have Glory Braddock calling us out. We had those masked men even knock me over last week. Xander Valentine could be here. Syren, James Evans…we know their tactics. And Owen Cruze and Alistaire Allocco will continue their slander…why would we show up when frankly, we can simply make a statement and control the narrative.”

Sienna looks at Chris and then Bree.

Sienna: “We are champions. Bree…US Champion. Chris…will be champion whenever this company stops holding him back for no good reason. He’s as good to go. Trust me on that.”

Sienna smirks.

Sienna: “And after this Sunday, I will be SCW World Champion. But if you want to see everyone try, and FAIL, to stop me to get the title that is synonymous with me. Don’t worry. Syren won’t ever hold it again. I’m not going to let her. Owen and Alistaire…their little Disney runs are over and I sure as hell won’t let Glory or James hold it…You can pay your money to see the greatest wrestler of a generation return to the top of the mountain despite EVERYTHING against her…and it will all be for you…FOR THE PEOPLE!”

Sienna then smiles.

Sienna: “Now, we’re going to leave. See you Sunday.”

Sienna turns around. The chauffeur keeps the door open as Scott enters first, then Bree. Chris smiles and kisses Sienna again. He steps in and slides in. Sienna turns to Spirit.

Sienna: “Thank you for giving us the time, Spirit.”

Spirit: “Anytime.”

Sienna steps in as Spirit turns and walks off. The chauffeur closes the door behind Sienna. He then walks around and to the driver’s side door as the security guards re-enter their cars. The crowd boos as the limousine then starts to drive off. The camera films it as the two Sedans follow.

Sharper: “Just more pure arrogance.”

Knots: “Let’s just hope that when it comes to the Chamber, Sienna quickly realizes she’s in over her head!”

The scene continues to play out for a few moments longer before we cut away.

We see Alistaire watching the monitor. He shakes his head and turns around.

Alistaire: “Unbelievable. All the more reason some of us have to step up.”

Adam then walks over and smacks him on the back.

Adam: “How’s it going son?! Watching them. Please. You’ve got better things to watch.”

Alistaire: “Trying to hear out my opponents. Need to make sure I’m ready for whatever they throw.”

Adam: “Totally get it. Want to win. Walk out champion. Celebrate with Pey-Pey?”

Alistaire: “Dad…”

Adam: “Fine-“

Alistaire: “Not just that. I want to beat Owen. I want to walk out champion. Use Apocalypse for motivation. That’s what we should want. But I also want to make sure Sienna or Syren…or perhaps some others don’t walk out champion.”

Adam: “Look, just remember you’ve been in there. You’ve kicked ass. Taken names. And this time you don’t have Ace to hold you down. You even won there!”

Alistaire: “Not the time to be arrogant.”

Owen then walks into the room.

Owen: “Alistaire!”

Alistaire turns as the crowd cheers.

Owen: “Listen to them talk.”

Alistaire: “Of course.”

Owen: “I know they left. But I won’t trust them as long as I can throw them. You’re standing on the right side of things. I think I’ve got a plan to make sure that no matter what. From them, to the masked people, to Syren…if they want to get involved later when James and Glory compete, they’ll need to try a bit harder.”

Alistaire: “All ears.”

Adam: “Alistaire, wait-“

Alistaire: “Gotta go.”

Owen and Alistaire head off as Adam watches them leave as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns. We see Sasha with Owen and Alistaire.

Owen: “Look, we’re going out there.”

Sasha: “I don’t want this starting into something more.”

Owen: “It’s not. Alistaire and I. We stand for one thing. For competition. Same with so many others. With all of these people getting involved or willing to take a cheap shot, the easiest way to stop them…to do it ourselves.”

Alistaire: “You can be rest assured. We will not get involved. We will merely watch. But if someone attempts to interfere, we will obstruct and wait for officials. James and Glory want to prove who is best. We will determine it. Just like we will determine who is best this Sunday.”

Owen and Alistaire briefly look at one another.

Sasha: “Alright…”

Owen: “Thank you.”

Alistaire: “Now, if you excuse me, I need to get to a monitor. Peyton is about to compete.”

Owen: “I’ll join you.”

Alistaire looks at Owen and the two head off as we cut away.

We open up to see a shot of Drake Hemingway shaking his head as Loretta Inglewood stands with Jessica Winters.

Jessica: “I am here with Loretta Inglewood and Drake Hemingway, the team of Purity, and you demanded some air time. But I’m intrigued as to why.”

Loretta: “Our message always deserves air time, but then again, SCW has always given more to the gratuitous.”

Drake: “We are here because a warning has come down and frankly people should be prepared.”

Loretta: “Figures like Derek Adonis reaching the finals of a tournament. Individuals giving into their lust. Wrath abounds. And for weeks we have seen it all develop and it all can be traced back, this recent excess, directly to the moment where Xander Valentine attacked these fans. They cheer it all. It was not a message from Xander to Selena. It was a message that everything much change. And this Sunday, should Xander show up, without doubt, another message will come.”

Jessica: “What are you talking about?”

Drake: “Xander and Selena are mere vessels. Making clear that people need to take heed about what we speak. Purity should be the goal. But Xander and Selena reflect all of the worst. The self-adulation, the lust, the wrath, even the impure…we all remember how Selena had to tart herself up to appear more sexual, alongside those like Kennedy Street, Sienna Swann or Regan Street. SCW is at a crossroads and this Sunday, it will have to make a choice. But we will not stand by and watch. We refuse to be passive!”

Loretta: “And if we have to force SCW to make the right decision, we will.”

Loretta and Drake look into the camera before we cut away.

Clyde Sutter vs. Peyton Rice

SCW Television Championship

The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play.  As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face.  He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering.  After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, Sutter begins his slow walk down the ramp, with Van Stanton following closely behind.  

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, he hails from Raleigh, NC.! Weighing in at 288 lbs., accompanied to the ring by Mason Van Stanton, he is “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter!”

The spotlight follows the sinister sociopath as he approaches the ring; Sutter then foregoes the steel steps as he leaps up from the floor to the ring apron.  Mason applauds from the outside as he uses the steel steps to join his client on the ring apron.  With the spotlight remaining only on them as one of the few lights in the arena at the moment, Sutter and Van Stanton enter the ring and then stand in the center.  Van Stanton applauds his client while the fans continue to show their displeasure.  The sound of Metallica dies down and the lights come back on.

Knots: “One mean and dangerous hombre that went toe to toe with James Evans a few weeks ago. Now he gets the chance at the TV Championship and I fear for Peyton here, Sharper. This does not look good.”

Sharper: “The odds are definitely against her that is for sure, but we have seen Peyton and she is resilient though I must say that Clyde Sutter is becoming one of the most dangerous men in the SCW.”

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

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

Phillips: “And His opponent, she is the reigning SCW Television Champion! From Glendale, Arizona! Weighing in at 115 pounds, here is “No Another Pretty Face” Peyton Rice!”

The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little…

Sharper: “Peyton Rice has a hard-fought victory against Jordan Majors and now this young woman will tussle with this monster of a man. I know Peyton hasn’t said much about it but if she can survive tonight, two more defenses and she becomes the lo gest reigning TV Champion in the history of the belt.”

Knots: “And like it did for Kennedy, this belt has now defined Peyton and put her on the map, she was under the radar before, she is no longer that and we saw Infamous attack her and Jordan last week. She was very vocal about it and she knows what this guy Sutter is all about.”

As Peyton is stretching and getting ready, Sutter runs across the ring and tries a double axe-handle, Peyton quickly rolls out of the way as the referee calls for the bell. Peyton hist a dropkick! And then another causing Sutter to stumble back some, Peyton hits another causing Sutter to fall back against the ropes, she runs toward him with a Hurricarana but Sutter catches her, he walks around holding Peyton in the power Bomb position until Peyton finally maneuvers and falls behind Sutter, trying to roll him over for the pin but he grabs her by the neck, lifting her up and she quickly dropkicks Sutter as he falls back, Peyton runs up to the top rope and delivers a flying bodypress but Clyde catches her, he then swings her for a slide slam but Peyton adjusts into a crucifix pin, Sutter though hangs on and drops her into a Samoan Drop, Peyton arches her back, yelling in pain as Sutter sits up, he picks up Peyton by the hair and whips her into the turnbuckle, he runs in when Peyton jumps up over the ropes, Clyde hits the turnbuckle hard, he steps back holding his chest, Peyton climbs to the top rope and hits a missile dropkick! 

Sutter finally goes down; Peyton runs against the ropes with a moonsault on top for the cover...

Sutter kicks out with authority!

Peyton back on her feet she goes for the Snowbird but Sutter gets the big boot up, Peyton stumbles back, holding her face before she runs at him again this time getting caught with a massive spinebuster, Clyde hooks the leg for the cover…

1!

2!

Peyton Kicks Out!

Sharper: “Peyton caught hard with the Spinebuster after many attempts to get Sutter down but she could only do it for a moment before he was back on his feet. She took a couple of big impact hits already, she can’t take too many more of those.”

Knots: “Clyde Sutter has every advantage right now with Peyton, she needs to be quick with her moves but attacking him like that and we are going to have a new TV Champion.”

Clyde picks her up by the hair, he forearms her a few times, Peyton stumbles back, hurt before he brings her into a front facelock and right up into a stalling suplex, landing hard on the mat, Peyton screams in pain. Suddenly Damian Angel walks out from the back and he starts to watch, the crowd boos…

Sharper: “Oh no, Damian Angel is out here again to get another look at the TV Champion, I don’t know what his intentions are but here’s here again.”

Knots: “There are no good intentions when it comes to Damian Angel and Peyton does not need this distraction.”

Peyton slowly tries to get up, Sutter grabs her by the hair and throws her half-way across the ring as the crowd boos. Van Stanton claps as Sutter laughs, he picks her up again and smirks in her face when Peyton forearms Sutter, surprising the big man, he stymies her with a punch to her face, she falls to the mat, holding her lip which is now busted open. He kicks her a few times while she is down, picking her up again but the hair he hoists her up into a Gorilla Press… into a Cruciform Slam!

Knots: “He just broke her….”

Sharper: “New Champion right here!”

The referee drops for the count….

1!

2!

3… NO! 

Peyton Kicks Out! Sutter glances over at the referee who shakes his head, holding up two fingers. Clyde looks over at Van Stanton who nods and slams the mats. Sutter picks up the bloody Peyton and throws her into the ropes but brings her back into a roaring elbow, she stumbles back and he runs at her with a shoulder tackle. She falls flat on the mats, slowly moving as he picks her back up, Damian Angel continues to watch as Sutter places his hands around her neck and goes for a Chokeslam but Peyton at the last possible second dropkicks Sutter, he lets go and stumbles back, she runs against the ropes and before she can react Sutter grabs her by the neck and delivers a devastating chokeslam. The crowd boos as he looks down at Peyton sprawled on the mat and drops for the cover….

Sharper: “This could be over….”

Knots: “New champion…..”

The referee drops for the count….

1!

2!

3… No! Shoulder Up!

Peyton shoots up her shoulder as now Clyde Sutter is starting to get annoyed. He signals for the end of the match, picking up Peyton for a Power Bomb position but Peyton starts punching Sutter, over and over as he stumbles back, she tries another Hurricarana but Sutter holds her up, she dangles for a second as Sutter picks her back up for a Powerbomb but this time punches him even faster until she drops to her feet, she runs against the ropes and he suddenly goes for the Clothesline From hell but Peyton ducks, running against the ropes when Sutter is about to gear up for The Unforgiven but before he can react, Peyton is too fast for him and hist the Snowbird! The spear takes the big man down and she drops for the cover….

Sharper: “What a counter by Peyton!”

Knots: “She just knocked him off his feet!”

Peyton hooks the leg….

1!

2!

Kick Out By Sutter!

Peyton tries to get back to her feet, she waits and suns at Sutter, he delivers another big boot but Peyton catches it, she goes for a side leg sweep but Cutter jumps, she misses and gets back up into a huge lift up into a European forearm. Peyton is out on her feet as Sutter walks across the ring and waits, she slowly starts to get up….

Sharper: “Peyton is fighting with all she has but Sutter is looking to hit The Unforgiven! He has completely overpowered her, look at her bloody lip, and Damian Angel is enjoying this.”

Knots: “She has been a great TV Champion, but Sutter has dominated this match and she has no answers, this is a mercy kill now.”

Peyton slowly starts to get up, Sutter runs and hits The Unforgiven, no! Peyton rolls forward right under it, Sutter lands hard, Van Stanton screams for him to get up as he does, Peyton hops on the second rope with an enzinguiri! Sutter falls to his knees, leaning forward, Peyton hops on the top rope hitting the Pretty Girl Drop on the back of Sutter! He rolls over….

Knots: “What a move right on his back! She might pull this off, Sharper!”

Sharper: “Pretty Girl Drop! Sutter has rolled on his back and Peyton on top for the cover!”

Peyton hooks the leg…..

1!

The Bell rings as Peyton screams and rolls off Sutter, the crowd roars as “All the Days” play throughout the arena. Van Stanton can’t believe it. Peyton gets to her feet as Damian makes his way to the ring….

Phillips: “The winner of the match and STILL SCW Television Champion…. Peyton Rice!”

The crowd roars as the referee raises her arm and hands her the belt, Damian Angel steps in the ring as she turns to stand there face to face….

Sharper: “Peyton rice wins but now she is standing face to face with the Devil himself!”

Knots: “Get out of the ring Peyton. She needs to get that mouth looked at and wait…..”

Before she can react, Peyton turns around and is met with a Clothesline From Hell by Sutter! Peyton is laid out in the ring as he looks at Damian, pointing at her and screaming… “All yours!” He gets out of the ring with Van Stanton and starts to make his way back to the ring. Damian looks down at Peyton who starts to stir, she turns over and grabs his boot….

Sharper: “Someone needs to help this young lady, she is in a lot of trouble!”

Knots: “This does not look good!”

Suddenly the crowd cheers just when Damian reaches down, Alistaire Allocco runs out from the back as the crowd roars, he slides in and Damian Angel quickly jumps out of the ring. Alistaire looks at him while checking on Peyton. She nods letting him know that she is okay as he covers her up in his arms. Damian backs up smiling as he too makes his way to the back….

Sharper: Alistaire came out and saved Peyton from what we could only imagine was going to be a devilish deed. Peyton with the win tonight, Sutter took the last shot. I’m glad that she is going to be okay.”

Knots: “Huge win by Peyton, she shows once again that she is a major player here in the SCW but there are some bad intentions with Damian there, Alistaire with the save of his girlfriend, he’ll get lucky tonight.”

Sharper: “Stop.”

Alistaire continues to check on Peyton, slowly helping her up as the crowd cheers…..

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still of Glory Braddock vs. James Evans follows.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock and James Evans will compete next with Owen Cruze and Alistaire Allocco at ringside to ensure it’s a fair fight.”

Knots: “Oh boy.”

Sharper: “It’s next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

Owen: “Peyton, you’re okay?”

Peyton: “Yeah. Ali got out there.”

Owen: “I stepped out…”

Owen: “You sure.”

Owen: “Alright.”

Owen looks at Alistaire and then Peyton before heading off as Alistaire and Peyton head in the opposite direction.

The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system...

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening! First, from London, England, she is The British Bombshell, 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.

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. Then the music dies down slowly...

Sharper: “Glory Braddock coming out hoping to vindicate her words earlier. For both, that’s what this match is. There’s a degree of confidence, arrogance…”

Knots: “They’re both competing for the World Title this Sunday. You need to be confident to succeed at this level.”

The opening of “Door to Door Cannibals" can be heard blaring through the PA system.  The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a positive reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The cheers intensify as James looks out at the crowd.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”

James slowly makes his way to the ring, as images of him winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd.

James then steps into the ring and walks to the center of it, removing his black hoodie, maintaining his focus. James then goes to the corner and sits on the top turnbuckle, his back to the crowd, as the screen shows James powerbombing Ace Marshall through the barricade, as well as James lifting the SCW World title above his head, as his music comes to an end.

Sharper: “James Evans all business. And we’ve seen where his head is at. He wants to win. He wants to win period. And this Sunday, the Chamber may be the perfect location for him.”

Knots: “He can do whatever he needs to. But he’s also got to deal with a lot of motivated people. A lot of people who are going to look to end his title hopes quick.”

Sharper: “Of course, we don’t know who will start until this Sunday. But this match could be interesting – get in your opponent’s head. Get an advantage for this Sunday.”

The lights straight to flicker in the arena as “The show must go on” the SCW / Maserati Remix kicks in over the PA system, the opening beats bringing a huge cheer from the fans

“Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?”

Owen steps out onto the stage to an even louder outpouring of noise, looking left and right at the fans and nodding in acknowledgment of their support. James looks at the stage as Glory does too. Owen walks out with the SCW World Championship over his shoulder. He continues on his way to the ring and gets to the ringside area. We then hear the bell sound as James and Glory start to circle the ring.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze and Alistaire Allocco saying they would come out here to ensure this match takes place. Alistaire, however, making sure Peyton Rice is safe. Told Owen to head out. Owen reluctantly doing so, with Peyton’s encouragement. But this match is kicking off!”

Knots: “Yeah. Bell sounds. Let’s go!”

Glory and James look at one another and Glory reluctantly moves in for a lock up. James pushes her back and into the corner. Glory leans back. The referee calls for a break.

James lets go and backs up. Glory looks at him. James backs up and then calls her to come in. Glory shrugs and lunges. James goes to grab her, but Glory drops down and spins around him. She grabs the leg and pulls it up. James then grabs her by the hair and pulls her away, causing Glory to let go and James forearms her in the jaw. He then sends her into the ropes. Glory bounces off and James clotheslines her down. He goes for the early pin.

Knots: “Clearly trying to send a message. Defiance as you said.”

Glory gets up and James gets up and Glory runs at James. James sidesteps and sends Glory in. She bounces off and James hip tosses her down. James goes to grab her, but Glory rolls back, headscissors him and forces him down. James rolls through. Both get up and James turns and Glory hits a dropkick. She goes for the pin.

James however turns into a double leg grab and tries to hoist her up for a Boston crab. Glory fights and James bends over and Glory forearms him in the jaw and then again before getting her left leg free and kicking James in the head. James falls to the ropes.

Sharper: “Glory fighting to get out. Knows that James has the strength advantage. Doesn’t want to let him have it.”

Knots: “Not just that, but James has a weight advantage. He sits down on a hold. That’s it.”

The camera cuts to show Alistaire starting to walk from the back, trainer’s tape around his wrist as he wraps it around over and over.

Sharper: “And here comes the former World Champion to join the current World Champion to keep this match going.”

Knots: “Gave Peyton a romantic nod before coming out here.”

Sharper: “Easy there.”

Knots: “Well I could’ve said it was a quickie or a make out sesh. Geez, Sharper. How much easier can I get?!”

James turns to Glory and Glory jumps up and hits another dropkick, knocking him down. James starts to get up and Glory then turns and kicks her in the stomach and then again and again. James rolls over. Glory runs into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a running dropkick, but James moves out of the way. Glory slides through. She rolls over and gets up and James lifts her up onto his shoulders and Glory fights out. She pushes James forward. He bounces off and Glory jumps up and goes for the Shekinah Glory. James blocks it though and lifts her up and then runs forward and hits a buckle bomb. The crowd ohs. Glory stumbles forward and James grabs her and turns and pushes her into the ropes before pushing her forward and clotheslining her up and over, going up and over himself too in the process. Both end up on the floor by the entrance way.

Sharper: “Both up and over. James just using his momentum and brute strength to send her over!”

Knots: “Hell and follow her over!”

Glory rolls over and James starts to get up. They do and just as they do, we see Owen and Alistaire talking to one another. Alistaire then points something out as we see the masked individuals running out the floor by the stage. The smaller, female masked person hops onto the rampway. James gets up and Glory does too and the female one runs over and goes to nail James, but Alistaire runs over and dives in front of them, tackling the female down. He then looks around as the male runs over and Owen nails him with a hard right and then another. The man doesn’t fight back, intentionally, keeping his hands down. Owen looks at him and then grabs him and runs him into the barricade. James looks at them and then grabs Glory and rolls her into the ring. James looks at them and then shakes it off and rolls back into the ring. Alistaire grabs the woman and tries to walk her to the back, grabbing her in a bearhug, hooking her arms. She fights.

Alistaire: “You’re done. We’re returning you the back!”

Owen nails the masked man again and he staggers off. James gets up in the ring and grabs Glory, but Glory jumps up and suddenly hits a snap frankensteiner. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Alistaire is escorting one of these masked individuals to the back! Owen is working over the other! And Glory just took down James in the ring!”

Knots: “Figuring the masked individuals would come out! Jesus!”

Alistaire keeps trying to get her back before officials come out and they come around Alistaire and the woman. Alistaire lets go, backing away as the official take care of her. He then turns back to Owen and the masked man turns and lunges for Alistaire, going to grab him, but Alistaire ducks and takes him down with a fireman’s carry takedown. He then locks in a reverse chinlock as a few more officials come over to him. Owen just smirks and nods. He watches as we see Glory get up in the ring and turns to James. She hits a shoot kick and then nails him with a hard right. She grabs him and pulls him up and then hits a DDT. James rolls to his back. Glory rolls over and turns and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope. She gets to the top, and just then, James gets up and runs over and grabs her and hits a twisting spinebuster off the middle rope. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “James Evans plants Glory Braddock with that spinebuster!”

Alistaire gets free as the officials get the masked individuals to the back. We then see CHBK run out and push one of the officials out of the way. James gets up in the ring as we see Crowe running past and he and CHBK go after Alistaire. Crowe and CHBK get shots in and Alistaire falls over. Owen runs over and nails CHBK with a hard right and then Alistaire. Syren then runs out and jumps up and over them, nailing Owen. Owen falls back as officials turn and try to get them out.

Sharper: “Wait a minute! Infamous! Syren! CHBK! Crowe!”

Knots: “And they’re going after Alistaire and Owen!”

Sharper: “James Evans watching this, and he’s focusing on the match!”

Knots: “He’s focusing on the win! The statement!”

James turns and grabs Glory and pulls her up. He knees her in the ribs and then again before double underhooking her. He hoists her up, but Glory manages to flip through, lands on her feet and then jumps up and hits an enziguri kick to the side of the head. James drops down. Glory rolls over. Owen falls to the ring as Syren, CHBK and Crowe grab Alistaire and throw them down. They then all start to stomp away on him. He covers up as the crowd boos. Owen then looks into the ring as Glory then turns and looks at him. Owen and Glory share a look before Owen glances back and Glory runs back into the ropes, bounces off. As she goes for a dive over the top rope, Owen jumps to the middle rope and hits an Asai moonsault and two land on CHBK, Crowe and Syren. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Owen and Glory working together! Both using their agility to take down Infamous!”

Knots: “And help Alistaire! James didn’t care. Glory did! I guess there is some respect there!”

The crowd roars. Glory rolls over as Owen does too. Syren slowly rolls over and falls over. Owen lunges and gets up and goes after her. She turns and goes for a hard right, but Owen blocks it and then knees her in the ribs. Glory turns and goes after CHBK and Crowe. CHBK pushes her back into the barricade and Glory clubs him in the back. James then rolls to the floor. He runs around and goes after Crowe. The crowd cheers as Infamous is quickly sent into retreat.

Sharper: “Everyone is going after Infamous! Their attempt to get a cheap advantage backfired! Glory, James, Owen! All fighting them off. Alistaire down! We’re out of time!”

Knots: “And we’re going to see six individuals in the Chamber match on Sunday!”

Sharper: “Who will walk out the World Champion?!”

The brawl continues as the scene fades to black…
