Breakdown - October 31, 2018

“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:

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Giovanni Aries hitting Selena Frost and Ravyn Taylor with the Down the Rabbit Hole and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on an opponent before showing Syren nailing Josh Hudson with a steel chair.

"They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams"

We see a shot of Dylan Howell clutching the Adrenaline Championship before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Starr on Alistaire Allocco inside the Chamber. We cut to a shot of Konrad Raab doing some shadowboxing in the ring before showing Ikiro Yoshida, Derek Adonis and Manvel in the ring with the KABLAMA Sutra. We follow up with a shot of Gable Winchester walking away from Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson.

"I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)"

A shot of Christy Matthews posing in the crowd follows. Sam Raine kicking an opponent is shown before showing Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity. We then see Ace Marshall nailing someone with the One Eyed Royal.

"I'll try to picture me without you but I can't"

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne running and attacking Regan Street in the ring.

"Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,
immor immortals
Immortals"

We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking down at herself, while posing in the corner before showing Har Megiddo in the ring. Shots of Kennedy Street standing in the middle of the ring posing, followed by Katie Steward posing and Kennedy Street hitting Syren with the Touch of Class is shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping an opponent with the CATastrophe before showing Bree Lancaster nailing Marie Jones with the Classifier, followed by a shot of Blake Mason hitting the Blake Mason Experience on Thirteen before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene then cuts to show the outside of Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for a few moments before showing a hype video playing on the big screen. A roar of the crowd is heard too. Shots of fans waving at the cameras as they walk past.

Spirit: “Under Attack is in the rearview mirror and tonight, there’s a chill in the air and spooks on everyone’s mind as Breakdown, on Halloween, comes to you from Oklahoma City!”

We cut to see fans at the merchandising stands. We then pan back from the shot to show the SCW Studios in Toronto and Spirit Dansby, wearing a witch’s outfit, complete with hat, and Shawn Winters, wearing a Aquaman outfit, at the desk.

Spirit: “Hello again, welcome to Toronto. Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters here at the SCW Studios. We’ll take you to Oklahoma shortly, but well, we’re getting into the spirit here in the studio. It’s Halloween. What’s scaring you about SCW, Shawn?”

Shawn: “Well I don’t know where to begin. SCW is turned upside down from Under Attack. New Adrenaline Champion in Ravyn Taylor and I don’t think we’ll hear the end of that. Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside are the Tag Champions!”

Spirit: “And about that, if you missed Under Attack, it’s a night where a number of individuals were unfortunately taken to the hospital, one of whom was Jason Helms. He jumped down from the apron and awkwardly collapsed. It’s been found that he’s torn ligaments in his knee and he will be out for a while. Underwent surgery this past weekend.”

Shawn: “It’s a freak accident too. And that’s what’s more frustrating. There’s no one to get angry at. Nothing to motivate you except to return to the ring and that can be dangerous.”

Spirit: “And in the wake of that-“

Shawn: “Yeah, Bree suddenly didn’t have an issue. She got Scott up to the corner, the boss realizing they advertised a match and well, they got the shot and Bree and Scott managed to beat Lohan Country and are the Tag Champions.”

Spirit: “Now she’s a double champion. Scott, who isn’t a trained wrestler, he’s holding gold and we’ll see what she has to say. Lohan Country too.”

Shawn: “But that’s not just all. Datura reminded us that she’s always operating on a different level.”

Spirit: “Piledrove Alexis Quinne. Fortunately, Quinne is fine. Just stunned after. People are talking about the message Datura sent to Regan, taking a page out of her book and laying a t-shirt of Regan’s on Quinne.”

Shawn: “The intensity level is rising in SCW. All that and more. Redemption is the World Tag Team Championship contenders. A lot of unfinished business to. Donovan Kayl and Damian Angel, not solved. Katie Steward and Bianca Evans…Bianca’s not done yet. Chris Cannon was left laying by Ikiro after he beat him.”

Spirit: “We’ll see what happens tonight, but Ikiro Yoshida, one of those individuals, he’ll be in action tonight against Blake Mason. Some history there between Blake and Sienna via Bree Lancaster. Also, we’ll see Josh Hudson, challenged by Konrad, Josh happily wants to face him. TV Title on the line. All that and more tonight. The fallout from Under Attack. Oh yeah, and the World Champion, Sienna Swann is here.”

Winters: “Why am I not surprised you’d end there?”

Spirit: “World Champion! And with that, to ringside, where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are standing by! Gentlemen!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. The scene opens up with a wide shot of the inside of the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The cameras pan across the crowd as they cheer.

Sharper: “Thank you Spirit, Shawn. It’s a bit less witchy and fishy here at ringside.”

Knots: “Speak for yourself!”

We cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper, dressed normally, and Jonathan Knots, dressed as Adam Sharper, completely with fake glasses, a pillow in his shirt and greyed hair.

Sharper: “Would you look at yourself?”

Knots: “Would you look at yourself?! It’s like looking at a mirror! I look just like you! Ha!”

Sharper: “Thank you for that. Anything you want to say about tonight?”

Knots: “It’s HALLOWEEN and we’re going to see all of the fallout from Under Attack!”

I’ve got the gift of one-liners,
And you’ve got the curse of curves!

The opening to “Misery Business” by Paramore suddenly hits the PA system as the spotlights on the stage flash between pink and white and the video screens around the arena begin to play.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

The crowd boos as Syren and Ravyn Taylor walk out from the back. Ravyn Taylor has the SCW Adrenaline Championship over her shoulder as the boos intensify. CHBK and Alexander Crowe step out too and the four stand on the stage looking out at the crowd. They then start to make their way to the ring.

Sharper: “It was a good night at Under Attack in terms of the win/loss column. Ravyn Taylor, as you can see is the new Adrenaline Champion.”

Knots: “A travesty! Christy Matthews came in and took out Andrew Raynes but couldn’t go after Ravyn Taylor before she was pulled out!”

Sharper: “She finally got her opportunity to hopefully settle the score there after Ravyn spent most of the Chamber match using the pods to protect her. But also, Syren was victorious, even if both CHBK and Alexander Crowe, who both interfered got suplexes for their trouble!”

Knots: “Can we rewatch those?”

Sharper: “You can on the replay of Under Attack playing all week long on pay per view channels.”

Ravyn Taylor and Syren lead the way as Syren hops onto the apron. She looks around and smiles as she steps into the ring. Ravyn walks up the steel steps and along the apron. She wipes her feet on it before entering the ring. CHBK and Crowe follow after. Syren and Ravyn goes to the corner and looks down at the title around her waist and smirks before hopping down as Syren looks out at the crowd jawing at them. She hops down as she turns and grabs a microphone left for them on the apron. She takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring. The four meet up, all quickly talking to one another briefly before Syren looks out at the crowd.

Syren: “Two challenges before us at Under Attack and both of us successful. Now, I know Ravyn has plenty to say, so I’m going to focus on me, like certain people should too. At Under Attack, I took on and beat Thirteen in the middle of this ring. Now some will say that I needed some help. They’ll point out that Thirteen gave me a choice. Regarding what he called crutches. Well just like the anchor he was called to be before Rise to Greatness he sunk because that’s what he does when he changed to rules to tempt me with these crutches.”

Syren steps forward.

Syren: “Let’s make something perfectly clear! Tell me where I broke the rules. Tell me where I cheated. Thirteen made it clear. If CHBK or Xander got involved, that would be perfectly fine. Just like back in January when I took my rightful place as World Champion. What did I do wrong? What rules did I break? Now, some of you may judge me, say that I’m better than that. They want me to go back to being their hero!”

The crowd boos as Syren looks out.

Syren: “Well for years, I fought for this company. I was the face of this company. I am STILL the face of this company. The only difference is that after I gave all of you someone to cheer for, winning the title and being the best women’s wrestler in the world today….I then realized that it was only going to get me so far and here I am today, doing whatever I need to. So I didn’t compete for some matches. They were a waste of my time as I already knew I’d win. I showed up at Under Attack and did exactly what I advertise. I beat Thirteen at HIS game. He let CHBK and Xander have the fun and I wasn’t going to stop them. And this scene, the scene with me in this ring, with CHBK, with Xander….the scene at Under Attack, that’s going to keep happening. See, I should be the World Champion. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. I’m still waiting for my rematch. We’ve already seen two former champions get fate on their side. Allocco and then Quinne at Fatal Fortunes. Kennedy Street even got her rematch. Jake Starr, REMATCH….Ace Marshall, Selena Frost…Well, if we’re going back to Quinne now, that gives me TWO rematches I’m owed! On top of that, the former champion and the current champion have both called me out and nothing has happened. Am I going to have to deal with another anchor in my way? Am I going to have to waste my time proving myself? Or am I going to get my shot at Bound for Blood like we all know I should. Because this year, Dark Fantasy has already seen two of its master plans lead directly to success.”

Sharper: “Two?”

Syren: “And you don’t want us to do what we’re capable of. Do you Mr. D? Right Ravyn?”

Ravyn smiles as Syren hands her the microphone. The crowd boos some more as Ravyn looks around. She then looks down at the title at her waist and feigns shock.

Ravyn: “Oh my…where did this Adrenaline Championship appear around my waist? Oh…the woman who three and a half months ago was threatened with termination is now holding Supreme Championship Wrestling gold. And ironically, this is a moment that I’ve been waiting for…for roughly a year. The moment I noticed that there was one title left for me to hold, one more title to do something no other individual in SCW History had accomplished. Now, I’m not one to brag and gloat, but it seems to me to be quite interesting that someone who many people saw as the lesser being of Dark Fantasy has accomplished an unprecedented feat of history…and all it took was manipulation on a grand scale.”

Ravyn smiles.

Ravyn: “Allow me to say it again…I was supposed to be removed from this company three at a half months ago and now I am one of its champions. It was supposed to be a night for revenge, a night where I was supposed to suffer those consequences for my actions and instead, I saw the moment that I have been waiting for and positioning for a year. While I focused on placing Syren back where she belonged, I was quietly making sure that I would be standing here sooner rather than later. And that day arrived at Under Attack and to make it all that much sweeter, it was aided directly by someone who was looking to give themselves the opportunity to do me harm…but SCW officials stood ironically in my benefit and I merely had to pick up the scraps. And here we are.”

Ravyn smiles.

Ravyn: “Do you still want to fire me Mr. D? Is that going to work well for you? Although I wait to see you try to determine how to remove this from my possession.”

Ravyn smirks as she turns. The crowd boos before “Misery Business” starts to play again. Ravyn continues to smile as Syren looks around smiling too.

Sharper: “Confident as always and now the question is what’s next? What’s next for the Adrenaline Championship? What’s next for Syren?”

Knots: “Looks like they’re not changing anything and have plenty more planned. I know for a fact Andrew Raynes isn’t happy.”

Sharper: “I’m sure we’ll hear from him. From Christy. What else is going to happen tonight on Breakdown, here in Oklahoma City, here on Halloween!”

Knots: “Let’s hope we get some spookiness for those two!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of Sienna Swann posing with her World Championship is shown.

Sharper: “What we do know is that we’ll hear from Sienna Swann later tonight. The World Champion will be here and there are a number who will be focusing on her championship.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on again before we cut to see Syren vs. Tommy Valentine.

Knots: “And we won’t be done with Dark Fantasy. Syren will be in action later. Shows what she thinks. Said nothing about Tommy Valentine moments ago. Well Tommy and Syren have a long history. CHBK even superkicked him to give Syren that World Title months ago. It comes to a head tonight.”

The Breakdown logo comes up yet again. Shots of Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside holding the World Tag Team Championship, Redemption celebrating in the Chamber, and Giovanni Aries attacking Owen Cruze and Regan Street’s t-shirt placed over Alexis Quinne.

Sharper: “Plus all of the fallout from Under Attack. Plenty more to come here tonight on Breakdown!”

The scene opens backstage as we see Owen Cruze walking through the backstage area. The crowd cheers seeing him. Owen continues on his way before he stops. He then starts to walk with purpose toward someone before walking over to someone wearing a white rabbit costume and grabbing them.

Owen: “Tell me you have nothing to do with Giovanni!”

Rabbit: “Whoa…Owen…relax…Halloween!”

The White Rabbit takes off his top, revealing themselves to be Sammy Thomas Davies. Clamidiya walks over to him, dressed as Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Owen: “Sorry…just on edge after what Gio did.”

Davies: “Hope that you can get a hold of him and settle things.”

Owen: “Just…thanks. Although, maybe avoid dressing in costumes based on some of the imagery others have used with him. I mean…Mad Hatter is his theme. The Rise to Greatness entrance.”

Clamidiya: “Well at least someone said hi to us!”

Owen nods.

Owen: “Yeah…silver linings.”

Owen turns and heads off.

Knots: “Owen’s on edge.”

Sharper: “And just getting started tonight!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:

We see a still of the entrance of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. It’s already been an interesting night early, but we have another surprise.”

The replay plays as Sasha, Mr. D’s eldest daughter, walks into the building. She walks over and shows her ID to security who allow her through. They then start to walk through the building.

Sharper: “Sasha arriving. We’ve been used to Katya, Mr. D’s youngest around, but Sasha has some concerns and she’s here.”

Knots: “Katya is not though.”

Jake Starr vs. Casterillo

The arena goes dark and the crowd begins to get loud. The opening chords of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to echo throughout the arena. With each opening drum beat, the logo of the Social Misfits flashes on the jumbotron...

Yeah, I get it you're an outcast
Always under attack always coming in last
Bringing up the past no one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast a kick in the ass
So paranoid

WATCH YOUR BACK!

With those words, an explosion or pyrotechnics erupts on the stage and the arena fills with lights and Jake Starr comes strutting out from backstage. He immediately stops on the stage and surveys the crowd, feeling their energy and absorbing it all in. He begins his walk toward the ring. As he walks down the ramp, he occasionally throws a hand to the side, slapping a hand and giving a fistbump to the outstretched hands of the SCW fanbase.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall …Introducing first from Des Moines, Iowa…he is the Social Misfit…JAKE STARRR!!!”

Upon reaching the ring, he hops up on the apron with one knee, pulling himself up, and stepping through the middle rope. He immediately makes his way to the far corner, climbing to the top rope. As the chorus hits, a spotlights illuminate Jake and he simply stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. He lifts his arms up, then points at himself, and ultimately yells the words "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" He looks around, continuing to soak up the energy from the crowd before beating on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd who have been supporters over the years.

Sharper: “Jake Starr, a legend in SCW, has been struggling as of late. He will be looking to turn things around here tonight.”

The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the titantron. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine.

Phillips: “And his opponent…weighing in at 285 pounds he is…Casterillo!!!”

The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He immediately springs right into action.

Knots: “Casterillo coming off of a loss to Josh Hudson for the Television Championship. I’m sure he will be looking to win tonight as well, to regain some momentum.”

Casterillo takes Starr down with a running clothesline. He then grabs Starr and whips him into the ropes. Casterillo goes for a big boot, but Starr dives underneath. Casterillo turns only for Starr to connect with a standing dropkick, taking Casterillo down to the mat.

Starr hits the ropes then connects with a baseball slide to the side of the head. Starr grabs Casterillo off of the mat and whips him into the ropes. Starr goes for another dropkick, but Casterillo holds onto the ropes. Starr hits the mat and pushes himself up, only for Casterillo to blast him with a running big boot.

Casterillo lifts Starr off of the mat. He snarls at the crowd before lifting Starr up, going for a powerbomb, but Starr manages to reverse it into a sunset flip, planting Casterillo’s shoulders to the mat as the ref begins the count.

1

Casterillo kicks out. Starr gets to his feet and connects with a running high knee, followed by a swinging neckbreaker, driving Casterillo back to the mat.

Sharper: “Jake Starr trying his best to keep Casterillo down on the mat.”

Knots: “Probably one of the smartest decisions the man has ever made.”

Starr goes for another cover.

2

Casterillo powers out. Starr gets to his feet as Casterillo gets to one knee. Starr begins to kick away at the side of Casterillo, who uses the ropes to pull himself. Starr then kicks at the legs of Casterillo, before Casterillo fires away with an elbow to the side of the jaw, staggering Starr. Casterillo then grabs Starr and takes him down with a sidewalk slam.

Casterillo grabs Starr and whips him into the ropes. Starr goes for a crossbody, but Casterillo grabs him mid-air then takes him down with a power slam. Casterillo hooks the legs.

Starr shoots the shoulder up.

Casterillo lifts Starr off of the mat and whips him into the corner, following up with a running clothesline. Casterillo backs up before charging at Starr, connecting with another running clothesline. Casterillo backs up yet again and charges, going for another running clothesline, but Starr manages to get the foot up. Casterillo staggers back as Starr leaps onto the second rope, before leaping off and taking Casterillo down with a tornado DDT.

Sharper: “Starr using his experience to turn the tide.”

Knots: “I’d say he was tired of getting knocked around like a red headed stepchild. He figured he needed to do something.”

Sharper: “I can’t argue with that logic.”

Starr hooks the leg.

2

Casterillo kicks out. Starr gets to his feet using the ropes. Casterillo gets to his feet and turns around, only for Starr to take him down with a spear. Starr hits the ropes and leaps off, connecting with a moonsault. Starr then hits another baseball slide to the side of the head.

Sharper: “Starr keeping the big man down.”

Starr then climbs to the top rope and peers out to the crowd.

Knots: “Could this be it? Can Jake Starr get a win under his belt for the first time in forever?”

Starr leaps off of the top rope, going for the Shooting FiveStar, but Casterillo rolls out of the way. Starr hits the mat hard and rolls over onto his back, clutching at his head and neck. Casterillo uses the ropes to get to his feet. Casterillo then grabs Starr and whips him into the ropes. Starr comes back and Casterillo plants him with a spear of his own.

Sharper: “Casterillo taking advantage of Starr missing the Five Star.”

Casterillo gets to his feet and grabs hold of Starr, before quickly taking him down with the Thunder Run. Casterillo sits up and glares at Starr, before grabbing him and taking down with a sit-out powerbomb. Casterillo then hooks the leg.

Knots: “Trial By Fire. That has to be it! Just planted him!”

Sharper: “Starr may be hurt!”

The ref calls for the bell as the crowd boos. Casterillo pushes himself away from Starr and just glares at him, before climbing to his feet and out of the ring.

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

Sharper: “Casterillo! This dangerous man just stunned a Supreme Champion. If there was any doubt that he is someone to watch, tonight, he removed all of it.”

Knots: “Starr may be struggling, but he’s still Jake Starr and his ego won’t let you forget that and Casterillo just put that down!”

Casterillo continues to head to the back. The camera focuses on him, as he makes his way up the rampway to the stage when suddenly, we see him turn as a man wearing a full red bodysuit, a white cape, and a red mask, revealing only his eyes and his chin, climbs up onto the stage from the side. He runs across and jumps up and nails Casterillo with a running knee to the jaw. Casterillo hits the stage and rolls over.

Sharper: “What in the world?! Casterillo just attacked!”

Knots: “Looks like something out of Marvel Comics!”

Sharper: “It is Halloween!”

He gets up and looks around before grabbing the cape with his arms and spinning around, as a woosh noise starts to come over the soundsystem. Triumphant chords play and as it ends, the man in the cape, mask and bodysuit stop before giving a thumbs up and a wink to the camera. He then turns and runs to the back. Casterillo rolls over, holding his jaw in pain.

Sharper: “Whoever it is, they got the whole package.”

Knots: “Did I just hear a woosh sound?”

Sharper: “He’s a superhero apparently!”

Knots: “Someone’s already spiked the punch in catering I see!”

Casterillo grimaces in pain as the camera pans up to the entrance before we cut away.

Backstage, the scene opens to see Scott Burnside, looking a bit nervous, as he holds his SCW Tag Team Championship inside their locker room. Bree Lancaster steps into the locker room, wearing a form fitting top and leather pants and walks over and grabs her Tag Team Championship and then her US Championship.

Scott: “Breezy, look-“

Bree: “Scott. It’s going to be fine. Come on…you’re holding SCW gold. You’re a champion and you deserve that as much as anyone. Now…no one is going to get in our faces tonight. Time to show them what real champions look like.”

Scott gulps and nods.

Bree: “Ready?”

Scott: “Yeah…I guess.’

Bree: “Come on.”

Bree turns to the door.

Bree: “We’re coming out!”

Bree and Scott head out.

Sharper: “When we return, our new Tag Team Champions will join us.”

Knots: “Who is with them though?!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Casterillo walking backstage, holding his chin, and looking clearly perturbed. He continues down the hallway before he then turns and grabs a crewmember and pulls him in by the collar.

Casterillo: “That man who attacked me…did he come this way?”

Crewmember: “Yeah…that way.”

He points down the hallway. Casterillo pushes him back. He then continues to walk down the hallway. The camera following him.

Sharper: “Casterillo, showing more emotion than we’ve seen from him since he joined.”

Knots: “I would be pissed too if some idiot attacked me wearing a superhero costume! And especially with cheesy music and a woosh!”

Casterillo continues down the hallway, glancing at the rooms before grabbing one of them and going to open it. He steps in and steps back before turning and continuing down the hallway. He then notices something and walks over to a garbage can where red material is hanging over. He grabs it, holding up the bodysuit and cape of the man who attacked him. He then looks at it and throws it back in. He lets an exasperated sigh before turning and storming off as we cut back to the ring.

The lights dim as the horns of “I’m Worth It” by Fifth Harmony echo throughout the arena. The crowd starts to boo as white spotlights circle the arena then focus on the stage, dancing in time to the music. A few moments pass before we see Bree Lancaster walk out from the back. Scott Burnside walks out with her and the two look around as Scott now walks over to stand alongside Bree. Both hold their World Tag Team Championship belts as Bree has the SCW US Championship around her waist. Bree then glances behind her before we see Dante McCaffery step out and motion to the side as Jack Parker and another man step out and go to either side before we see Xander Valentine saunter out and stand behind Bree and Scott. Bree just smiles as Dante then walks around to the other side of Bree and leads them to the ring, scanning the crowd.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside, that’s right, they’re the new Tag Champs.”

Knots: “Of course they did. Of course they bought the services of the Network!”

Sharper: “Amazing how that relationship changes with Max Kane out. Xander Valentine in. And that’s an image I’ll never get used to.”

Knots: “And all of this we’re seeing, with Bree and Scott as champions, having their bodyguard contingent, all because Jason Helms was injured.”

Sharper: “And as we started the show tonight, revealing that Jason Helms will be out for the foreseeable future. Torn ligaments in his legs. And Bree, showing a heartlessness in one sense and a drive to make sure she take advantage of the opportunity, she’s now the Tag Team Champions.”

Knots: “With more money from the champion’s purses to pay the Network to protect her and Scott! Looks like she got some new clothes from Scott too.”

Bree and Scott, surrounded by the Network, head to the ring. Dante enters the ring and steps in. He walks across as he motions to the Network as Jack and the new figure take one side and the front side of the ring as Xander remains in the entrance way, turning to the stage, folding his arms. Dante drops down to the floor, standing in front of the announce table. He then reprimands Knots as Bree and Scott enter the ring. Scott looks around nervously as Bree poses with her titles. She turns to Scott and tells him to join her. Scott reluctantly does.

Knots: “Hey! Not my fault Bree’s a horrible person and you’re a shill!”

Sharper: “Easy there.”

Knots: “Hey after what they did to Kennedy, I’m not going to stand down.”

Bree then smiles as Scott takes a deep breath. Bree encourages Scott as Bree turns to the corner and Dante hands her a microphone, having already secured one from Phillips. Bree takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring as the crowd boos. Bree looks around.

Bree: “Sorry but we’re not going to see any ridiculousness tonight. After weeks of disrespect, it looks like karma took care of some of it, and my ability to overcome took care of the rest.”

Bree looks around.

Bree: “Jason Helms, I don’t feel sorry at all about the fact that you collapsed under the pressure. Instead, karma took hold and I was able to take advantage of the opportunity that was before me, with someone I trust. Someone who was certainly more deserving of teaming with me than you ever were, and in the process, karma struck as Lohan Country, for trying to humiliate me, forcing me to maybe be Tag Team Champions with YOU, Jason…no…now you’re out with injury, ironically, the same as Amy. And Lohan Country without their gold. And who is standing tall…”

Bree turns to Scott and grabs his arm. He looks around meekly as she raises his arm.

Bree: “Us! Your NEW World Tag Team Champions, Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside.”

The crowd boos.

Bree: “But this leads us to the next part…See, thanks to the champion’s purses I now get for being a double champion in SCW, I can make sure that I don’t need to deal with people who frankly only feel the need to troll me. And now that one particular flaw is dealt with in their services…and some very important additions have been made, I know I can stand here and know that I don’t need to worry about the likes of Jason Helms, even if he couldn’t get here…or Abigail Lindsay from trolling us. I don’t need to worry about people who would be jealous of my success, like the Selena Frosts…or maybe a Sam Raine or Crissy Gardner, two people who I’ve heard claiming they could be in line for a shot at our titles, after Redemption of course. We would not need to worry about Redemption until the night we are required to face them, even if we all know that this shot should be going to the Truelove Twins, but don’t worry, London, Paris…we will hold these proudly until SCW recognizes that you rightfully deserve these shots.”

Scott then leans over and says something to Bree. Bree turns, smiling, before saying something to Scott.

Bree: “Don’t mind Scott. He’s a bit nervous. I mean, it’s not every day that you have an opportunity to stand beside one of your best friends, holding championship gold, rising immediately to the top of one’s career. And its even doubly special for us, rising to the top in fashion in both our own ways, and now wrestling, the fact is that even with the help we have, he’s worried he could be a target, and just as I proved at Under Attack, I will always have his back.”

Bree smiles and chuckles.

Bree: “See, I may be a double champion. I got this because I earned it all. All of you in this crowd thought that I would flame out. I didn’t win the World Championship earlier this year. Now look at me. See, this is the value of being Ambitchous. When I see opportunity, I take it. I seize it. And anyone who stands in my way…or Scott’s way…they will get what they deserve!”

???: “Oh no James…we’re going to get what we deserve!”

The crowd roars as Bree turns to the entrance way as Angelica Jones and James Evans walk out from the back. The crowd cheers seeing them. Bree turns to the entrance way. Xander Valentine remains watching the stage, his arms folded. Bree turns to the Network, making sure they know not to let them down to the ring. Scott’s eyes start to dart.

Angelica: “Well, I guess we’re going to get the World Tag Team Championship!”

The crowd roars. James pumps his fist.

Angelica: “What would that mean for your family, James?”

Angelica moves the microphone to him.

James: “I can just imagine Braelynn being the proudest fiancé in the world and Katelyn, with Kelly and Kiera being over the moon.”

Angelica brings the microphone back.

Angelica: “Don’t worry, Bree…we got what you mean. The good news though is that James and I have no desire to troll you. None! We won’t even bring out Free Botswana t-shirts for the hell of it. But instead, we’re going to talk not to you, but to the little ball of nervousness standing next to you. Hi Scott!”

Angelica waves to the ring. Scott looks around. Bree turns to him, trying to get him to ignore her.

Angelica: “Congratulations on holding a title that I’ve held, James wants to. Bree…There are some lofty names to live up to. And you’re now on that list. And when we face each other, whenever that match is made, we have a reputation to live up to. James here is a former multiple time champion. My sister and I have held those titles to the highest standard. Even Bree, even if we don’t really like anything about her, she holds herself to a standard. Do you? I mean, you were a good punching bag at Under Attack, but if Bree wasn’t there with the Classifier, then what? Well, we’ll make sure that Bree won’t be a factor if we get you in the ring. And Scott, I just wanted you to know, when Redemption faces Bree and Scott, World Tag Team Championship on the line…we are going to be competing to win right from the start. Don’t worry. No trolling. This is what James and I had our minds on when we came together. To allow us to compete to be the best. I look forward to facing your best Bree…and your best Scott.”

Angelica brings the microphone down as Scott turns to Bree. Scott clearly shows his nerves as Bree tries to calm him down. Angelica and James turn as “Alive” by P.O.D. plays throughout the arena. They head to the back.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster can be confident all she wants. But Scott, he’s a manager. He’s not a trained wrestler. Angelica and James know that.”

Knots: “She’s just gotten herself a new problem! And Redemption are ready to take advantage to become the SCW World Tag Team Champions! So pay your Network, but you have to protect Scott too!”

Scott places his head on his head and then fans himself as Bree keeps trying to help him out. Xander just glances back shaking his head before turning back to guard duty as the scene cuts away.

Alistaire Allocco can be seen in catering, looking at the beverage section and smiling as he grabs a bottle of water. He then turns to one of the independent wrestlers who attend the shows hoping for a break.

Allocco: “Have to remember to hydrate. Stick to it and one day, I’ll give you the honour of competing against me. Competition is good too.”

Allocco pats him on the back and turns as he twists the cap off and stops as we see Scarlet Grey standing across from him wearing a succubus costume. Allocco looks around before turning to her.

Allocco: “Excuse me. But it must be cold. I have a coat-“

Scarlet: “It’s fine. I’m quite comfortable.”

We then notice Ruby standing in the background.

Scarlet: “But you can do something else for me.”

Scarlet leans forward and runs Allocco’s fingers on his chest before tapping on the nose.

Allocco: “You’re missing something.”

Scarlet smirks before leaning in and Allocco stops her.

Allocco: “Please…”

Scarlet turns away as Ruby can be seen snickering in the background.

Scarlet: “Please…please…pretty please.”

Scarlet leans in, putting on her best puppy dog face. Allocco, not swayed by her tactics, just smiles.

Allocco: “Better. Sure. I’m happy to help a woman, especially one who may not be as well off. If you need some money for some extra clothes-“

Scarlet: “You’re facing Aaron Blackbourne tonight, correct.”

Allocco: “I am. Should be a wonderful contest. I’m looking forward to this.”

Scarlet: “Good. I’m wondering if you could help me. I happen to like him, so don’t worry. I don’t want you to hurt him. But perhaps you can convince him to give a woman like myself a chance.”

Allocco: “How cute. I can tell you that I’m pretty convincing. I was a debate champion in high school. So don’t worry. I’m sure I can help.”

Scarlet: “Excellent. I appreciate it.”

Scarlet goes into kiss him on the cheek, but Allocco just smiles and walks off as Scarlet stumbles forward a bit. Scarlet just shakes her head as Ruby walks over.

Ruby: “So was I right?’

Scarlet: “He does only apparently focus on his own stuff. I don’t think he even knows who we are.”

Ruby: “His loss. I’m not sure this will help though.”

Scarlet: “Oh, I’m sure Aaron will maintain his foolish love. But does not mean I cannot convince him he should give me a chance in other ways.”

Ruby: “You mean Kelcey’s party wasn’t enough.”

Scarlet: “Oh…that was necessary. This is just to ensure he doesn’t forget.”

Scarlet smiles as the camera focuses on her as the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Scott Burnside storming into the locker room with Bree Lancaster and he turns, almost hyper-ventilating. Bree steps in as the door closes.

Bree: “Scott, you need to calm down.”

Scott: “I’m not a wrestler! I’m getting threatened by people whose whole LIVES are wrestling-“

Bree: “Shhh…it’s going to be okay. You already won at Under Attack.”

Scott: “Thanks to you Breezy. I don’t want to let you down.”

Bree: “You won’t. You can’t let them get under your skin. Just…here, come with me and do some training sessions. I’m sure we can ask Regan to get use into AnteUp. We can get some ring time and you’ll find out, you’ll be fine. And then we can teach James and Angelica that no one stands in our way.”

Scott nods, taking a few deep breaths.

Scott: “Okay….I…I’ve been looking for a reason to try out my newly designed training wear. This is as good a time as any.”

Bree: “Great!”

Bree hugs him.

Bree: “It’ll be great. Now let’s watch Dustin teach Angelica’s daughter something.”

Scott nods, still looking a bit nervous as Bree walks behind him and to the couch and we cut away.

Dustin Adams vs. Marie Jones

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

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

Phillips: “First, on his way to the ring, from Detroit, Michigan, he is the Inmate, Dustin Adams!”

Dustin slowly walks down towards the ring. Dustin hops up onto the apron and quickly into the ring looking ready for a fight. He loosens up in the ring before awaiting the arrival of Marie Jones.

Sharper: “Dustin Adams playing a role in protecting Andrew Raynes before Under Attack, and one of the individuals he stopped was Marie Jones. Now, two weeks later, they meet tonight.”

Knots: “Adams is always angry. Marie’s not happy about not being the Adrenaline Champion. But she did pin two former World Champions before Andrew Raynes took advantage of some distraction and subterfuge.”

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

Phillips: “Introducing his opponent. Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, she is The Phoenix, Marie Jones!”

Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring.

Sharper: “Marie looks ready to go, but Dustin Adams, strength advantage here in this one.”

Knots: “That’s the understatement of the year.”

The bell sounds and Marie immediately charges at Dustin Adams catching him off guard. She fires kick after kick at the tree trunk thighs of Dustin Adams. Adams winces and Marie kicks him again. Not impressed, Dustin pushes Marie off of him. He tries to take her head off with a big boot. She ducks underneath. She continuously kicks Dustin in the thigh over and over. Dustin shoves her back. Marie rolls through and gets up and dropkicks him on the leg she was targeting. Adams stumbles down to his knee.

Sharper: “Marie going for the leg. Going to knock Adams down. Bring him down to size.”

Knots: “Looks like she had a plan!”

Marie turns and runs across the ring. She bounces off and Dustin facepalms Marie away. She falls over and gets up and he quickly buries his shoulder into her mid section, doubling her over, knocking her to the corner. He shoulders her again and steps out. He pulls her out and gorilla presses Marie over his head. He lifts her up and down, using her body as if it were pressing a barbell over his head. He drops her down to the mat. He then walks around the ring, trying to get the blood flow going through his leg.

Sharper: “Adams just powers her up and over.”

Knots: “Damage to the knee nothing he can’t ignore. Adams has another plan. He’s just going to enjoy this!”

Dustin reaches down to grab Marie up by the hair. Once he does, he is met with a blistering slap to the face that echoes throughout the arena. The crowd with a collective “Oooooooooooo.” Dustin chuckles. He then turns and grabs Marie and Marie nails him with a hard forearm and then another. She jumps up and hits a dropkick. Adams hits the mat. He starts to get up and Marie runs into the ropes. She bounces off and jumps up for a crossbody, but Dustin catches her and then steps forward before throwing her back with a fallaway slam. Marie rolls to the ropes. Adams picks Marie Jones up. He irish whips her into the corner. He charges but Marie side steps Adams who drives his shoulder into the ring post. Marie exits the ring out onto the apron. With Adams head in position, she runs the apron, driving her knee into Adams head, upon impact, Adams head smacks into the ring post. Marie slips back into the ring. She rolls up the big man.

Adams kicks out.

Sharper: “Nearfall as Marie nearly took advantage of Adams being against the ringpost to win this.”

Knots: “Not just that, but may have hurt him. His head and shoulder bounced off of it!”

Both get up and Adams goes to nail Marie. Marie ducks and runs into the ropes. She jumps to the middle rope and backflips through. Adams catches him. Marie moves her legs and slides down. Adams turns around and Marie jumps up and hits an enziguri kick. Adams falls over to the ropes. As he does, we then see Andrew Raynes storm out from the back. He heads down the rampway with purpose. He then slides into the ring as Marie starts to get up. The referee goes to stop him, but Raynes nails him with a hard right. The crowd ohs as the bell sounds. Marie then gets up and nails Raynes with a hard forearm and then another before Adams runs over and nails her from the side. She falls over. Marie slowly gets up as Raynes paces around the ring.

Sharper: “Raynes just coming down. Interrupting this match and it’s been thrown out.”

Knots: “I don’t think he cares and Adams doesn’t look too angry.”

Sharper: “Marie is in trouble. She needs to get out of there!”

Raynes turns and Adams watches as Marie starts to get up. They then both run into the ropes before they connect in the middle on Marie with the Code of the Green Mile. The crowd ohs as Marie hits the mat. Andrew then gets up and turns and goes for a microphone as Adams grabs Marie and drags her up enough to throw her out of the ring. The crowd boos as Raynes snaps at Phillips. Phillips hands him a microphone and Raynes shoves him back a bit before turning to the middle of the ring.

Raynes: “Sorry Dustin, but I’m not in the mood to sit in the back and wait my turn when at Under Attack, the longest reigning champion in SCW had their reign ended by pure bull[bleep]! So this is simple to me…If anyone looks at Under Attack a legitimate crowning of a new champion, they’re clearly delusional. We all know that if it was Ravyn facing me one on one, without the B.S. of being able to hide in pods, and use Christy Matthews to give her an opening, she would never be able to beat me!”

Raynes seethes as he looks at the camera.

Raynes: “But SCW brass got the title off me. Add that Christy has been going to D and working with him to get her hands on Ravyn…how good did that go…I can see through this all. I may not be champion, but we all know that I should still be at this moment!”

The crowd boos as Raynes looks out at the crowd.

Raynes: “If SCW brass knows what’s good for them…if Mr. D does…I get my rematch. Prove me wrong about all of this. Prove me wrong that SCW brass had to construct all of this BS just to get the title off me! Prove me wrong!”

Raynes throws the title down before he steps back. He then turns and nods to Adams. Marie stirs on the floor as Adams and Raynes drop down to the floor. The two then start to head to the back as the boos continue.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jessica Winters standing at the interview area.

Jessica: “Still some aftereffects of Under Attack in the air, but in a few moments, we’ll see us determine who is next to challenge the SCW Television Champion next week on this program and well, allow me to introduce one of the two individuals who will be competing in this weeks Television Championship Eliminator….Man Mountain himself, Derek Adonis.”

The crowd cheers as we then see Derek Adonis step out, wearing a cowboy hat, his hair curled up and with his hands on his hips. Next to him is Cookie Dreams looking right out of the 1980s, wearing a sparkly purple shirt with booty shorts. She bounces a bit as Jessica turns to Adonis.

Jessica: “Well, I see that you’re dressed up for Halloween-“

Adonis responds, speaking with a bit of a lisp.

Adonis: “Well Jessica, that would be correct. You see, you are with the bootiful Baby Doll Dweems and the KABLAMican Dweem himself. That’s right. And right now, before we get funky like a monkey in that ring, winning a shot at the prestigious Television Championship, I’m gonna do a special session of KABLAMaerobics!”

Cookie smiles as she nods.

Adonis: “See, I watch you to reach out…”

Adonis then extends his hand toward the camera.

Adonis: “Reach out to the screen at home. Reach out and pretend my hand is touchin’ your hand. And then pull back.”

Adonis does this.

Adonis: “Reach out again….hold it….move then fingers. Get them all limber…and pull back.”

Again, Adonis does this and Cookie follows.

Adonis: “Reach out again, feel the warmth of my hand, touchin’ your hand. The movement of my fingers touchin…If you weellll.”

Adonis stops and turns to Jessica.

Adonis: “Just a start, but we all know that there’s been some hard times in this place. At homes all over the country. Even in the KABLAMican Dweem’s life….but this should help. There may be hard times in everyone’s life, but you can control them with the KABLAMA Sutra and KABLAMaeroics! Now time ta go to the ring!”

Adonis and Cookie walk off. Jessica just looks a bit incredulous before turning to the camera. As she does, Adonis runs back in.

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

He then runs off.

Sharper: “The TV Title Eliminator…it’s next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown opens up backstage to see Owen Cruze pacing as we see Selena Frost standing across from him, wearing an outfit looking like a nutcracker in red uniform complete with a typical hat. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Selena: “Owen, you need to calm down with this. This is what he wants.”

Owen: “Yeah, easy for you to say.”

Selena: “Yes it is. I may be dressed like this. Doing this for Elsianna, my daughter. She has a toy and-”

Owen: “No, it’s fine.”

Selena: “Anyway, it doesn’t mean I’m not watching my back because Giovanni Aries has no love lost for me. He tried to take me out at the end of Apocalypse.”

Owen: “Yeah, well, he’s going after me.”

Selena: “And on social media, he’s still going after me. We’re in this together.”

Owen: “I get it….but whatever happens…I want the first crack at him.”

Selena: “That’s going to be up to him. I’ll stay out of your way Owen. But I’m not going to let him take you out. I’m not going to stand down if he comes after me.”

Owen: “Sounds fair.”

Owen goes to walk off. Selena stops him.

Selena: “This isn’t like Blake, or Regan, or me. Giovanni Aries will be dangerous. He’s not looking for respect. He’s not going to respect.”

Owen: “I know…and after Under Attack…I’m not looking for it either.”

The crowd roars as Owen walks off. Selena watches him leave as we cut away.

Billy Breakdown vs. Derek Adonis

Television Championship Elimination

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be “graced” by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis!

The KABLAMican Dream, Derek Adonis steps out, in costume, along with Baby Doll Dreams (Cookie). They look around as Adonis points to some people in the crowd. We then notice he’s wearing polka dot covered pants. The two start to head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a ten minute time limit and is your Television Championship Eliminator. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Cookie Dreams, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he’s Man Mountain, Derek Adonis.”

Adonis struts down to the ring before walking over to the steps and going to the apron. He then steps into the ring and looks around before he takes off his cowboy hat. Cookie just bounces in the corner as she looks around and Adonis gyrates a little bit as his music fades out.

Sharper: “He’s the KABLAMican Dream. I’ve heard something like that somewhere. I can’t put my name on it.”

Knots: “At least he gave a hell of a quick workout. My fingers are very limber right now.”

Sharper: “That’s wonderful. Either way, Adonis needs to focus as he’s one step away from getting a TV Title shot, a title he’s held before in the past.”

“Something for You” by David Rolfe hits and Billy Breakdown steps out the entrance way. He wears a black leather jacket along with his standard ring gear with black trunks that have the Breakdown logo on the back. He is accompanied to the ring by Miss Misato whose hand he is holding.

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Miss Misato, from wherever Breakdown is, he is Billy Breakdown!”

The crowd roars a bit as Billy Breakdown walks down to the ring. Misato just rolls her eyes at Cookie before Billy hops onto the apron and looks around before entering the ring. He steps forward before going over to the corner and throwing his arms up. He then jumps down and takes off his black leather jacket before turning to Adonis.

Sharper: “Billy Breakdown alleged specialty is that he collects titles, so he has all of the motivation in the world.”

Knots: “At least he’s not with his many, many cardboard titles…or dressed as a title.”

Sharper: “That would probably make it hard for them to move.”

Knots: “I would not put it past him to have dressed Misato as a title and tried to wrap her around his waist. Ironically, that’s a position on page 157 of the KABLAMA Sutra. I’ll let you know that I shine around Kennie’s waist!”

The bell sounds as Derek Adonis does a bit of a shimmy and dance before Breakdown looks at him confused before he moves in and lunges at Derek and the two lock up in the middle of the ring. Billy turns into a side headlock. He then looks around before nodding and then rubbing Derek’s hair. Adonis then pushes him into the ropes. Billy bounces off and shoulders Adonis down. Adonis looks up and Billy runs into the ropes. Adonis rolls over and Billy stomps him in the face. He drops down and goes for the pin.

Adonis kicks out. Both get up and Billy kicks him in the ribs. He then runs him into the corner.

Sharper: “Breakdown coming in strong here. Trying to outwrestle Adonis.”

Knots: “As long as it’s the kind the ring, he can do it.”

Adonis turns and Breakdown nails him with a hard right and then another and another. The referee calls for the break.

Breakdown backs up. He then looks around before turning back to Adonis and Adonis nails him with a hard right. The crowd roars. He nails him with another before kicking him in the ribs. He pushes him forward and then whips him into the ropes. Breakdown bounces off. Adonis goes for a clothesline. Billy ducks and stops. Adonis turns around and Billy hits a dropkick. The crowd cheers a bit. Billy goes for the pin.

Adonis kicks out.

Sharper: “Nearfall as Adonis kicks out at two. Billy Breakdown dominating this.”

Knots: “Guess the get-up isn’t helping Adonis here.”

Adonis rolls over and stirs as Billy grabs him and clubs him in the back. Adonis winces and walks forward as Cookie cheers him on. He turns to Billy and Billy hits a chop. The crowd woos. He chops Adonis again. More woos. He goes for a third one, but Adonis turns and hits a snap jab and then another and another before rolling his hands and connecting with the flip, flop and fly. He then looks around. He then shrugs before running into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a big bionic elbow to the chest of Billy. He goes for the pin.

Billy kicks out. He turns and starts to get up as Adonis grabs him and whips him into the corner. He then walks over, scooping him up and slamming him in front of the door. He turns and pulls himself up to the middle rope. He dives off for a splash, but Billy rolls out of the way. He backs away, wiping his brow.

Sharper: “Splash from the middle rope. No one home as Billy gets out of the way.”

Knots: “I think he thought everything would be over. All of those other hard earned title reigns. You know he’s the Nauru Underwater Continents Champion too.”

Billy gets up. Adonis starts to pull himself up and Billy clubs him in the back and then hooks him up for a gutwrench. He tries to lift Adonis up. Adonis blocks it. He tries again and Adonis blocks it again. Billy backs up and goes to knee him, but Adonis blocks it. He then lifts him up and hits a spinebuster. The crowd roars as he rolls through into a pin.

Billy kicks out. Both get up and Adonis forearms him in the jaw and then again. He pushes him into the ropes and fires him off. Billy bounces off the other side and Adonis goes to scoop him up, but Billy spins through and lands behind him. Adonis turns and grabs him before grabbing him and hoisting him up with the Bloody Sunday. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Up and over. Billy Breakdown finally gets Adonis over.”

Knots: “And dropped him on the back of his head. He had big plans tonight!”

Sharper: “He may not be celebrating anything if Billy continues with what he has in mind!”

Billy turns and goes for the pin.

Adonis kicks out. The crowd roars. Billy looks around before turning and grabbing Adonis and pulling him up. He drags him to his feet and chops him in the chest. The crowd woos. He chops him again. More woos before he goes for a third, but Adonis nails him with a hard snap jab and then another and a third one. He goes for the flip, flop and fly again, but Billy Breakdown does a faceplant flop to the mat. He rolls over and Adonis turns and grabs him and kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and whips him into the corner. Adonis runs at him and nails him with a running clothesline in the corner. Billy leans forward and Adonis grabs him and turns and whips him across to the opposite corner. Adonis steps back and leans back against the corner before running across and jumping up and hitting a KABLAM! The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Adonis with the KABLAM! Billy Breakdown just collapsing to the mat!”

Knots: “He’s going to get the shot! He’s gonna get funky like a monkey!”

Breakdown falls to the mat before rolling to his back. Adonis goes for the pin, hooking the leg.

The bell sounds and the crowd cheers.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and next challenger for the SCW Television Championship, Derek Adonis!”

Adonis gets up and throws his arm in the air as Cookie rolls into the ring. She walks over and raises Adonis’ arm.

Sharper: “Adonis getting the next TV Title match! He’ll meet with Konrad Raab or Josh Hudson!”

Knots: “The KABLAMA Sutra and KABLAMaeriobics could be getting TV time if this goes his way!”

Adonis and Cookie then start to dance in the ring, with Adonis doing a various of a cabbage patch while shaking whatever he has. Cookie does the same as the crowd cheers.

Backstage, we open up to see Sasha and Mr. D in his office.

Mr. D: “Surprised you’re here.”

Sasha: “Figured it was only right. I mean you’ve had a lot of time with Katya. I’ve been in the office. We don’t see each other as much.”

Mr. D: “Don’t tell me you’re jealous.”

Sasha: “It’s not that…there’s….she’s new. She may be trying too hard not to be labelled an enemy.”

Mr. D: “PPF and others would disagree with that.”

Just then, the door opens as Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams step in.

Raynes: “I’m not here for any BS. I got screwed out of my title because your officials couldn’t keep people out of the Chamber.”

Mr. D: “Andrew, I’m speaking with my daughter.”

Raynes: “I don’t give a damn. Talk to her when you’re at home.”

Mr. D steps forward and takes a deep breath.

Mr. D: “Want to try that again when you’re asking me for a title shot?”

Raynes just glares at Mr. D.

Mr. D: “I get you’re pissed off. I’m not happy about that match ending the way it went. Fortunately, before you decided to ruin your friend’s match and go on this diatribe, I’ve already signed the match. Next week, you and Ravyn Taylor – Adrenaline Title on the line. You’ll get your rematch.”

Raynes: “Good. But want to prove something to me…that you’re not looking to screw me….Put Christy on the other tour. That way I know this is legit.”

Raynes turns and storms off as Adams smirks and follows. Sasha steps forward.

Sasha: “You really want to give him the shot. Especially against Ravyn. You know that’ll get Syren going-“

Mr. D: “Let her. She didn’t have something as shoddy as that happened. As much as I don’t care for either Raynes or Ravyn…Christy went too far. Syren doesn’t have that benefit of the doubt.”

Mr. D turns and heads back to his desk as Sasha looks to be thinking about something before the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Aaron Blackbourne backstage, pacing a bit, with Hana Ito with him.

Hana: “Hana Ito here. Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m here with Aaron Blackbourne and Scarlet Grey has been very much a part of your SCW career in the recent past and we’ve heard reports its expanded from there. It’s not just your personal life with Liane, your girlfriend, but she was at a Halloween party that Kelcey Wallace hosted this past weekend.”

Aaron: “She won’t leave me alone….I had hoped for a nice night out with my girlfriend. After what Scarlet did at Under Attack…we needed the time away, and then Scarlet shows up and starts to try to get me to dance. She won’t take no for an answer. Fortunately, I was lucky that Chris Cannon had her leave, but this is getting ridiculous. She’s affecting my relationship. She’s affecting my career. At least tonight, I get to face Alistaire Allocco and try to get something back on track.”

Hana: “You do realize Scarlet has talked to Alistaire.”

Aaron: “Of course she has. Look, Scarlet, you’ve gotten my girlfriend banned from events. I don’t know what else to say. But please…leave me alone.”

Aaron turns and walks off. Hana watches him leave as the scene fades to black.

The opening beats to Southpaw Swagger's “It's Showtime” kicks in over the speaker system, the fans jumping to their feet in acknowledgment of who is about to step out onto the stage. A huge roar greets Owen Cruze as he steps out onto the stage. He then heads to the ring.

Sharper: “Under Attack was a big night for that young man. He got the biggest win of his career. He beat Selena Frost in a hell of a back and forth fight.”

Knots: “Yeah, but while we’re talking about that, we’re also talking about how Giovanni Aries came from God knows where and attacked Owen Cruze, threw a smoke bomb and left before Selena Frost could come out and help.”

Sharper: “We haven’t seen Giovanni Aries prior to that since he tried to take Selena Frost out. But what I don’t get was he didn’t go for Selena! He went for Owen.”

Knots: “Yeah and Owen’s now looking for him. Already tried to go after someone he thought was Giovanni. Talked to Selena too.”

Owen Cruze reaches the end of the rampway before making his way to the ring and sliding in. He gets up and walks across the ring. He asks for a microphone from Phillips. Phillips hands him one and Cruze takes it before turning back to the middle of the ring.

Owen: “You know, at Under Attack, I had the honour, yes, the honour of competing in this ring against Selena Frost. And when that match was done, I did something that I knew I could do and knew that if I saw the moment, the preparation, the training, it would all show, I could beat her. And I did. I beat one of the best wrestlers in SCW period. Right in the middle of the ring.”

Owen pauses.

Owen: “It was great. Finally to put it all together. To prove I should be in this ring. To prove that me, some eighteen year old kid who some say was given this spot because of my last name…that I belong. And while I have the ring to myself, feeling like I belong…I get jumped by a man who thinks we’re under invasion for the damn Lizard Kingdom!”

The crowd roars. Owen looks around.

Owen: “And Gio, I know you’re not attacking me because you just felt it fun to do. I’m not that stupid. The problem is that I’m starting to wonder if you are. See, I don’t care about Lizard Kings or Queens or People or Molemen or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I don’t care if the trees are going to rise up. I’m not going to let you take away my biggest moment in this ring so far just because of some BS war. So Gio, I know you’re here. I know you’re lurking somewhere just like you were at Under Attack. So how about you come and look me in the eyes and call me whatever figment of your imagination you believe in and I can start working together getting my next biggest moment of my career!”

The crowd roars before we start to hear a female voice.

???: “Owen….”

The voice almost whispers.

???: “Owen….”

Owen looks around.

???: “Owen….look under the ring…”

Owen continues to look around before turning and heading over to the ropes. The crowd yells out, buzzing before Owen steps through to the apron.

???: “Owen….you don’t need to be afraid…”

Sharper: “I don’t like this.”

Knots: “Neither do I. The kid wants to show something. Say screw it and walk off.”

Owen looks around before then dropping down to the floor. He then steps back a moment before grabbing the ring skirt and lifting it completely up. He steps back and looks under. The camera looks under to see some shuffling, but nothing clear. Owen turns and goes to the side nearest the shuffling to throw open the ring skirt on that side before we see the person, presumably, is Sam, Giovanni’s valet. Sam moves out and looks up to Owen. The crowd roars a bit as Sam grabs Owen by the t-shirt.

Sam: “Owen…you need to listen to me.”

Owen tries to move past, but Sam holds on with iron grip.

Sam: “Under Attack was a test. He wanted to see how you would react. Right now, you’re feeding into everything he fears.”

Owen: “He fears?! He attacked me.”

Sam: “He knows. But it’s all to throw off the Liz-“

Sam then turns and pushes the camera back, realizing its listening in. Owen turns and goes to help the cameraman. Sam now just yells at Owen.

Sam: “Make the right choice. Show you’re not a slave! Show you aren’t just part of his games!”

Owen turns.

Owen: “Who?”

Sam: “You know who…”

Sam then leans in and whispers something to him. She steps back.

Owen: “Seriously? Still on Mr. D?!”

Sam turns and steps back, eyes darting.

Owen: “Hey! Where’s Giovanni?! Have him come for me then! Have him deliver this message and I’ll show him what I think!”

As Owen tries to yell at him, Sam runs around the ring and to the barricade. She hops over and starts to head through the crowd. Owen turns and helps up the cameraman. He just looks at where Sam hoped over and looks around, confused.

Sharper: “Sam, Giovanni Aries valet under the ring…but now a messenger.”

Knots: “She’s trying to convince Owen to side with Giovanni? It was a test.”

Sharper: “He revealed our boss was the Lizard King. He’s away for a month. And now attacks Owen and sends Sam? Your guess is as good as mine!”

Owen then sighs in frustration before we cut away.

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen before showing Syren vs. Tommy Valentine.

Sharper: “As we try to make sense of what we saw, nothing to worry about on that wavelength next. Syren faces Tommy Valentine. That’s next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Syren vs. Tommy Valentine

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a thirty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, representing Dark Fantasy, accompanied by CHBK, from Malibu, California, she is Syren!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words “JUST BE JEALOUS” accompanied by her heart-logo. CHBK walks out and Syren looks at him briefly before turning around, looking annoyed. She starts to head to the ring, ignoring the fans. CHBK follows her. Once at ringside, Syren jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the cheering fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring. She doesn’t do her normal entrance, demanding the microphone from Jason Phillips. Phillips hesitates and Syren snatches it from him. She then looks around and turns to the crowd. CHBK enters the ring and walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Syren’s not lost any confidence. Still demanding a World Title. Even more emboldened after Under Attack.”

Knots: “Needed help to get through Under Attack. She’s proud of it. And she think she should get a title shot. Let’s hope that she keeps getting passed over as she should!”

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

Two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Cut The Cord" by Shinedown, hits. A shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"FREE-DOM LALALALA FREE-DOM FOLLOW ME!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverberates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start cheering.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Raleigh, North Carolina, he is Tommy Valentine!”

The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp as he looks out into the audience that are now cheering loudly, chanting his name in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards with his palms upwards, he then stops and then shakes his head before smirking and shrugging. Fireworks then shoot out at the top of the ramp in a burst before he resumes walking down to the ring. As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and goes to high fives a few fans before moving on down the ramp, the smirk still on his face before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, simply nodding before smiling at all the fans in the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. Thomas then stands motionless in the corner.

Sharper: “Tommy not the happiest after Under Attack. Some have speculated that a victory here could lead him to a shot against Ravyn Taylor. We’ll see about that.”

Knots: “Nothing official there. But he’s angry. He’s motivated. And he knows Syren. Remember it was CHBK who superkicked Tommy back at Learning from History to get Syren the WorlD title.”

Sharper: “And Tommy then got some revenge when he cost Syren the Trios Tournament!”

Syren looks at Tommy as the bell sounds. Tommy steps out as Syren mockingly steps forward and extends her hand for a handshake. Tommy smirks before just shrugging and then extending his hand. Syren pulls it away and shakes her head. Tommy shrugs again and then lunges and grabs her head and goes for the Griever’s Bane. Syren falls back and rolls out of the ring and the crowd roars as Tommy turns and gets up. He then turns and lunges for the ropes, dropping to the floor. Syren spins around the ringpost and rolls into the ring. Tommy spins around and slides in and gets up and Syren nails him with a forearm shot and then another and another before kicking him in the ribs. She turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Tommy steps forward and goes for a back elbow. Syren ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a front dropkick. Tommy hits the mat and rolls over.

Sharper: “Syren moving quick here as Tommy’s aggressiveness costing him early.”

Knots: “She was trying to get that out. It almost cost her to start. Tommy nearly dropped her in the opening seconds of this thing.”

Tommy turns and Syren clubs him in the back and then again before pulling him up and raking his eyes. Tommy stumbles back to the ropes. Syren moves in and kicks him in the ribs and then again. He sits on the bottom turnbuckle and Syren grabs the rope before pushing on the throat of Tommy with her boot, starting to choke him.

Syren steps off and smirks before turning and running along the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a facewash, but Tommy rolls out of the corner. Syren stops at the corner. She steps back in and turns around and Tommy kicks her in the ribs and hits a spinning front sitout suplex. Syren rolls over, holding her face in pain.

Sharper: “Tommy catching Syren getting ahead of herself and then just muscling her up and over."

Knots: “Dropping her right on her face and maybe letting her know the fall from the top, when it happens, going to be painful!”

Syren turns and holds her face. She starts to get up and Tommy walks over and kicks her in the ribs and hits a snap suplex. Syren winces and Tommy goes for the pin.

Syren kicks out. She turns and starts to get up and Tommy pulls her up by the hair and runs her over and sends her face first into the corner. Tommy grabs her and whips her across the ring and into the corner. Tommy runs after as Syren jumps up and flips over to the apron. Tommy stops at the corner as Syren steps forward and turns around to go to Tommy, but Tommy runs at her and clotheslines her down. The crowd roars. Syren rolls to the floor. (1) She starts to get up and CHBK starts to walk around. (2) Tommy just watches him as Syren pulls herself up to her feet. (3) She turns to the ring and Tommy hits a slingshot vaulting press onto her. The crowd roars. (1) CHBK just steps back as he gets to that side of the ring. Tommy rolls over. (2) He gets up and CHBK backs up. Tommy then starts to move toward him. (3) The referee keeps counting as Syren rolls over to the ring. (4) She pulls herself up and winces. (5) She then rolls in as Tommy keeps moving toward CHBK. (6) Tommy then turns to the ring and rolls in as CHBK smirks. Syren gets up and Tommy gets up and runs at her. Syren ducks and jumps to the middle rope. Tommy turns around and Syren hits a jumping back kick to the jaw. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Tommy too focused on the man outside. One of the best at distraction and getting in one’s head.”

Knots: “And Syren becoming one of the best to take advantage!”

Tommy starts to get up and Syren runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running bulldog. Tommy rolls over. Syren gets up and hits the discus leg drop before following up with a pin.

Tommy kicks out. He turns and Syren kicks him in the side and then again. He rolls over. Tommy grabs at the ropes. He pulls himself up and Syren walks over and kicks him in the ribs and then chops him. The crowd woos. Syren then kicks him in the ribs before hitting a DDT. Tommy rolls through to his back. Syren turns and exits to the apron. She smirks as she climbs pu to the top rope. The crowd boos as Syren looks out and smirks. She gets to the top rope as Tommy stirs. Syren turns to the ring and Tommy gets up and runs over and pushes Syren’s legs out from under her. She lands hard on the top turnbuckle. Tommy pulls Syren’s legs over the top rope and so she’s sitting on the top rope. Tommy nails her with a hard forearm and then another before climbing up to the middle rope and then to the top rope. He then jumps up and hits a top rope frankensteiner. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Tommy! From the top! Syren caught! Tommy with the frankensteiner!”

Knots: “Get over there and pin that woman! Give her a bit of humility!”

Tommy turns and moves to Syren and hooks the leg.

Syren shoots her shoulder up. The crowd ohs and sighs. Tommy rolls over. He then gets up. He grabs Syren and pulls her up to her feet. He then scoops her up and slams her down to the mat in front of the corner. Tommy turns and exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope before turning to Syren. Tommy then smirks before diving off and hitting a Force of Nature. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Force of Nature! Hit beautifully!”

Knots: “Come on CHBK! Get in there. Save your prize fighter!”

Tommy turns and hooks the leg.

Syren shoots her shoulder up again. Tommy looks up and chuckles a bit. Tommy then pulls her up to her feet. Tommy then kicks her in the ribs. He turns and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Tommy scoops her up for a tilt-a-whirl slam, but Syren spins through and right into the Golden Blonde. Tommy rolls over, holding his ribs in pain. He slowly gets up and turns around to Syren who rolls to the apron. She springboards to the top rope and dives forward with the Beauty Mark. She rolls through and then blows a kiss to the crowd, leading to boos.

Sharper: “Forearm and then the kiss just to rub it into the fans.”

Knots: “There’s a kiss of death.”

Tommy stirs and winces and Syren grabs him and hits a Russian leg sweep. She then turns and pulls him toward the corner. Syren turns and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope and looks out to the crowd. She calls for the end before turning to Tommy and going for a diving senton splash, but Tommy gets her knees up. Syren rolls over, holding her head and neck. She starts to get up and Tommy jumps up behind her and hits the Redemption Syndrome. Syren rolls over, arching her back, rolling to the ropes. Tommy goes for the pin.

Syren manages to just get her foot on the rope with CHBK even trying to get the assist.

Sharper: “Foot on the rope!”

Knots: “She’s won’t be compete alone. She needs CHBK to lift her legs. Next she’ll be connected by strings from the ceiling!”

He backs up, pointing at it. Tommy rolls over and gets up and looks at CHBK. Tommy turns and grabs Syren.

Tommy: “CHBK…this is on you!”

Tommy then pull Syren in between his legs. He hoists him up and goes for a crucifix before pulling her forward and into a release powerbomb. The crowd ohs. Tommy turns and exits to the apron. He then moves to the corner and waits for Syren to get up. CHBK yells at her stay down as Tommy continues to wait for Syren to get up. Syren slowly gets up and stumbles to her feet. Tommy runs out and goes for Knee Deep. Syren ducks. Tommy hits the mat. He rolls over and gets up and Syren jumps up and hits the Total Makeover. Tommy hits the mat. Syren goes for the pin, hooking the leg.

The crowd boos.

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

CHBK slides into the ring. Syren starts to get up and the referee raises her arm. She pulls away and moves to the ropes.

Sharper: “Syren successful tonight! Tommy Valentine had her on the ropes.”

Knots: “Just getting sick of this! Every damn time she dodges the proverbial bullet!”

CHBK then walks over and raises her arm. Syren looks around and smiles. Syren then turns and exits to the apron before dropping to the floor. CHBK steps through too as CHBK looks around as does Syren. CHBK nods to the left where we see Alexander Crowe stepping over the barricade from the crowd and to the ringside area. Syren smiles as he walks over.

Sharper: “Wait a minute…Alexander Crowe was waiting in the crowd as he was at Under Attack.”

Knots: “Of course he was. If Jake Starr came out I’m sure.”

Sharper: “Dark Fantasy making sure Syren is protected at all times!”

Knots: “And she wants a World Title shot. I just have to hope…I have to hope she doesn’t get it!”

Syren wraps her arms around Crowe as Crowe and her walk off. CHBK glances back at Tommy before turning and walking off with them. The crowd continues to boo as Tommy starts to stir, glaring at them before we cut away.

The Breakdown logo comes across the screen.

Voice: “Still to come on Breakdown!”

Shots of Sienna Swann holding the SCW World Championship come up on the screen before showing her posing with the Truelove Twins follow.

Voice: “The SCW World Champion Sienna Swann speaks on potential future opponents.”

Josh Hudson is shown with the SCW Television Championship before we see Konrad Raab come up on the screen.

Voice: “The SCW Television Championship will be on the line when Josh Hudson faces Konrad Raab.”

Shots of Blake Mason, Ikiro Yoshida, Regan Street, Alistaire Allocco and more come on the screen.

Voice: “Blake Mason faces Ikiro Yoshida, Regan Street comments on the events of Under Attack, and much more as Breakdown continues after this!”

The Breakdown logo comes across the screen and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The scene opens up in the SCW Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where the cameras pan down to show Spirit Dansby and Shawn Winters, still in their costumes, looking at the camera.

Spirit: “Welcome back to Breakdown and to Toronto. We’ll take you back to Oklahoma in a moment, but it’s been a big night already. And unfortunately, despite what everyone may hope for, Syren keeps on winning.”

Winters: “Made it clear what’s on her mind. She doesn’t care how. She just wants it. She’s not convinced herself she has two claims to a title shot. Then add the match with Tommy. She manages to take advantage of a distraction and we find out that Alexander Crowe is in the crowd. You think she cares about doing things the right way. She cares about her title shot.”

Spirit: “More just tells me that she’s going to keep fighting this.”

Winters: “Looming in the background, Ravyn Taylor and CHBK’s scheming. Ravyn Taylor specifically focused on slowly getting the Adrenaline Title. She did. CHBK’s strategy is behind Syren’s plan now too, with Syren even adding to it. They’ve got something planned and you wonder if the seed of what they could have next could lead to a decision.”

Spirit: “We’ll find out. Shortly, we’ll hear from Sienna Swann, our World Champion and I’m sure Mr. D soon after. A lot of questions over who will be never in line to face Sienna. Decisions are going to have to be made.”

Spirit pauses.

Spirit: “But along with that, Owen Cruze wanting to confront Giovanni Aries. Doesn’t get Gio, instead, has Sam telling him to break the spell, and to join Giovanni.”

Winters: “Certainly has an odd way of recruiting.”

Spirit: “Yet again, we heard Giovanni name Mr. D as the Lizard King through Sam.”

Winters: “He’s snapped since Rise to Greatness and add who he’s been facing. Kennedy Street. Selena Frost. People who have seen Mr. D not as some sort of lord of SCW, but as a partner in promoting SCW. He has good relationships with both. Now he’s trying to save Owen. Owen, you’re young. You’re being tested. Be careful here.”

Spirit: “And along with that, our new tag team champions happy to be on top. Redemption going after Scott.’

Winters: “Just giving him something to think about.”

Spirit: “Indeed. They referenced however Jason Helms’ injury, we have a few others who are suffering injuries we need to update you on. One is AJ Helms. AJ Helms, despite going for a second opinion, he was convinced to have surgery. Torn biceps is the diagnosis.”

Winters: “And it’s rough. He was about to get his biggest break. He’s now on the shelf. He’ll be out at least the rest of this year and probably well into next year. It’s a contact sport. This happens.”

Spirit: “We hope he recovers quickly.”

Spirit pauses again.

Spirit: “Meanwhile, Alexis Quinne suffered a piledriver from Datura’s hands at Under Attack. We are happy to note that Quinne is fine. No lasting damage. Just obviously the scare of the piledriver. And in fact, Alexis Quinne, who is not here tonight, she left this message.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. The image clears up as we see Alexis Quinne in what seems like her apartment, the promo filmed on her cellphone.

Quinne: “So after a match where I thought we were leaving it all in the ring, where we kicked each other’s asses and I even had the courage to ask for a rematch before it was all said and done…you agree and then piledrive me. All because you’ve got your eyes set on Regan Street.”

Quinne scoffs.

Quinne: “I don’t take kindly to being a message.”

Quinne just looks at the phone.

Quinne: “Now you’re suspended and I have to wait until you get back. You said I’ll be waiting thirty days. Well each of those thirty days, I’ll be getting ready for the rematch. And chica…you shouldn’t be focused on Regan Street. Because you’ll need to get through me.”

Quinne then brings the camera down as the feed ends and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We cut back to a shot inside the studio.

Spirit: “Alexis Quinne with her response.”

Winters: “And we’ve not heard from Regan Street yet. But Datura quickly making sure she’s got a very big bullseye on her back.”

Spirit: “Meanwhile, Alexis Quinne will be back with us on Breakdown soon. SCW meanwhile going to be splitting its roster. The next two weeks going to be unique because it’s another opportunity for opportunity, but also SCW making one of its most significant international tours. One roster will appear next week, that will see the World Champion, Sienna Swann there. They will tour Australia and South Africa. The other the following week going to Europe.”

Winters: “These are always fun tours. Get to see fans we don’t see as often. But what will be interesting is how the rosters are split. We’ve seen couples and teams split between the two rosters. It’s an opportunity for some people to maybe get away from their allies. For example, we could see Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside without their newly paid for bodyguards.”

Spirit: “We will find out how the rosters are split. That will be on www.supremecw.com tomorrow afternoon and we expect some matches to also be announced tonight.”

Winters: “We still need to get through tonight.”

Spirit: “Exactly and tonight, plenty more to come. We’ll hear from our World Champion. Blake Mason will face Ikiro Yoshida. The TV Title on the line. All this and more when we return to Breakdown and return to Oklahoma! Stay tuned!”

The scene cuts to a live shot inside the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City to see fans moving back to their seat as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, Laura Steinbeck directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. A few moments pass before “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play and a gold hue comes over the arena. The crowd boos as Sienna Swann steps out from the back, holding the SCW World Championship over her shoulder. She just looks around smiling as the photographers take pictures of her.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Oklahoma City for Breakdown. The World Champion, Sienna Swann, gracing us her with her presence.”

Knots: “Bask in the beauty, the professionalism, the glory of our World Champion!”

Sharper: “Managed to delay a title defense because of a photo shoot. Hope that was worth it. But rumours have been all around since AJ Helms was announced to be injured, and he will certainly be for the foreseeable future, who Sienna Swann will defend her title against.”

Knots: “Was supposed to defend it against AJ Helms next week. Now Cassidy Carter, Blake Mason, Syren…they’ve all challenged her.”

Sienna Swann walks to the ring with Laura Steinbeck by her side. The crowd continues to look on, booing her as the camera pans to a wide shot. Sienna Swann walks to the ring and then up the steel steps and to the apron. She then steps through the ropes and steps forward and holds the title over her head. She just smirks as she looks around. The boos continue before Laura Steinbeck enters the ring. She then steps forward before Laura Steinbeck walks to the corner and grabs a microphone waiting for her and takes it. She turns to the middle of the ring. Sienna places the title back on her shoulder as she looks around.

Knots: “She has a hell of a tan. Must’ve been a great shoot.”

Sharper: “Oh I’m sure. Lord knows it was more important than competing for the World Title!”

Knots: “Well I just explained! There was controversy! Some things needed to shake out. It all worked out with that horrible fate for AJ.”

Sharper: “I’m surprised you’ve not mentioned one person yet….Kennedy Street.”

Knots: “We all know she’s in contention for the title. Even D knows that! I’m focusing on the long shots!”

Laura turns to the crowd.

Laura: “No your eyes do not deceive you. Your World Champion is here, present in a town that frankly is beneath her, but the sacrifice she is showing by simply being present, as a make good for her inability to be at Under Attack ten days ago.”

The crowd boos.

Laura: “Now before anyone asks, on this night where so many feel the need to wear costumes in an effort to be something they are not, Sienna is the real deal. She already is in her costume, herself. The Real Perfect Ten. The IronAngel. The WORLD Champion.”

Laura pauses for a moment as the crowd boos some more.

Laura: “Every girl at home would love to be here. In fact, I expect to hear so many who look up to this woman and dress like her trick or treating, but now that she is back, there are people wondering about something that frankly that does not matter in the grand scheme….who is next to challenge her for the World Championship.”

Laura turns to Sienna.

Laura: “Sienna, would you like to respond?”

Laura hands her the microphone and Sienna takes it and smirks before looking down and chuckling a bit. She then brings the microphone back up.

Sienna: “It does not matter who. Look at my record in this ring. I have said it time and time again. I will hold this title for as long as I want. I can and will outlast everyone. I am the IronAngel. Selena Frost, Syren, Donovan Kayl, Thirteen, Alistaire Allocco, Alexis Quinne…”

Sienna scoffs. We then see Mr. D walking out from the back as the crowd cheers a bit. Sienna then turns and sees him. She steps forward.

Sienna: “Oh wonderful. Time to find out another brilliant idea. Did you listen to your daughter again? Then again, which one?”

Mr. D walks to the ring and walks around the ring. Sienna just looks at him as the crowd buzzes a bit. Mr. D asks for a microphone from Jason Phillips and is handed one. He takes it and steps up the steel steps.

Mr. D: “Sienna, good to know that the two weeks away haven’t changed you.”

Sienna: “Just because I’ve made SCW more mainstream than you could ever imagine. The ultimate in athleticism, grace, beauty and success…and I’m just talking about me. Nevermind the location, the fashion, the fact that the locals are still talking about me-“

Mr. D: “The fact that since you’ve been away, a number of people don’t seem sold on your infallibility.”

Sienna: “Please. Vultures hoping to get an opportunity. Then there’s Syren, but she won’t shut up.”

Mr. D: “We’re in agreement there but I don’t know if you remembered before you went away, before AJ Helms’ unfortunate injury, I had announced your next title defense to take place next week on this program while we’re coming from London, England. Now AJ Helms, he won’t be competing unfortunately for a long while. That leaves you without an opponent-“

The rifts to "Na na na" by My Chemical Romance begins to play throughout the arena as the spoken intro opens up.

The future is bulletproof
The aftermath is secondary
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Killjoys, Make some noise!

The crowd roars into mixed reactions as Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall walk out from the back. Cassidy has a microphone in her hand as she steps forward, shaking her head.

Cassidy: “Hold it, hold it. I don’t think it leaves her without anything. Then again, maybe she was hoping to slink off to whatever beach she could stick her head in the sand. And I’m happy to help. You can go back there and I can be World Champion with a bitchin’ party on the strip in Las Vegas with more booze, hookers and anything else that the world can imagine!”

Sienna rolls her eyes.

Sienna: “This is not a game and we don’t need more of your ridiculousness. Plus, Cassidy, please…given your training involves curling tequila shots, I don’t think you’d last longer than five minutes.”

Cassidy reaches the ring.

Cassidy: “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure I throw up on you. May give you a nice look for your next photo shoot.”

Cassidy hops onto the apron as Sienna turns away in disbelief. Ace follows. Cassidy enters the ring as Ace does. Mr. D steps between them and Sienna.

Cassidy: “This is pretty cut and dry. Yeah, AJ won, but the runner up, guess what. It’s me! And you can hate that all you want. She can too. But give me something better-“

“The Memory Remains” by Metallica starts to play. The crowd roars as Sienna turns to the entrance way as Cassidy just turns and rolls her eyes before turning to Mr. D.

Cassidy: “Ignore that jackass!”

Blake Mason walks out from the back, wearing a suit, also a microphone in his hand. He steps forward and starts to head toward the ring.

Blake: “Well I’m sorry I’m a bit late to the party, but while Cassidy may want to try and operate on counterpoint, I think I should point out there are many others and to remind you, Mr. D of our discussions. And more importantly, I’ve not stolen a title lately.”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “That is true.”

Knots: “Damn him and his facts!”

Blake: “Plus, unlike Cassidy who simply wants the gold to fund her party habit, given how you’ve been treating people I respect in Chris Cannon and in Kelcey Wallace….no, I don’t have to pretend I like you Sienna, see, I think you lack the respect and humility you need to be champion. So you can outlast, and have your nice pictures, but being a champion is more than that.”

Sienna: “You’re one to talk Blake. Given that had you not piledriven Chris Cannon a year ago, had you not attacked Amy Chastaine…had you not shown disrespect, people would probably not be talking about you today.”

The crowd boos a bit.

Blake: “And I have to live with those decisions every day I stand here and I will do whatever I can to repay them for it-“

Cassidy: “Oh who gives a damn! Another damn redemption story. I’ll make this easy. I think everyone here sucks. I’d kick all of your asses and dance on top of you and I’d not worry about living with it. I’d just go to the bar and celebrate!”

Sienna: “And you want to be champion?”

Cassidy: “Go take some pictures.”

“This is How a Heart Breaks” then plays before we see CHBK walk out from the back. He just smirks as the crowd boos some more. CHBK smirks, holding a microphone. He starts to walk toward the ring.

CHBK: “You didn’t think Dark Fantasy would just stay in the back and ignore this. I mean, Syren may be showering after her match, ignoring whatever Sienna would say as let’s face it, it’s the same brand narrative she always spins. But I’m not going to stand in the back and allow you to keep ignoring us without knowing full well what awaits you as you keep stonewalling someone who now can rightfully claim TWO title shots.”

CHBK stops half way down the rampway, a few feet away from Blake Mason. Sienna goes to speak, as does Blake and Cassidy, but Mr. D cuts them off.

Mr. D: “Enough! I’m not going to stand here and listen to more of this.”

Mr. D pauses as the crowd roars.

Mr. D: “Here what I’m going to do-“

Just then, “Judas” by Fozzy starts to play. Sienna and Laura turn to the entrance way. Mr. D turns to the entrance way too as Josh Hudson walks out from the back, also with a microphone.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson?”

Knots: “Maybe coming out for support of Sienna!”

Hudson: “Sorry to interrupt. But I figure D…you know I don’t like keeping you comfortable.”

Mr. D shakes his head.

Hudson: “But well, I figured I should interrupt this before you make some plans because well, I don’t know if you remember but I hold a Trios Tournament contract.”

The crowd roars.

Hudson: “And now that I’ve dispatched with all of the problems in my life and I continue to prove that I can take on anyone in front of me, I think it’s time I do something else for me and that’s at Bound by Blood, I become a three time World Champion!”

Sharper: “What?!”

Sienna just looks at Josh stunned as Laura turns to her.

Sienna: “What? Why?!”

Mr. D turns to Sienna before turning to Cassidy, Blake and CHBK.

Mr. D: “Looks like I’m going to have to deal with something else. Josh…we should talk.”

Mr. D turns and steps out of the ring. “Judas” starts to play. The crowd cheers some as Josh smiles. Mr. D walks past Ace and Cassidy, then Blake, and finally CHBK before continuing on his way up the rampway. Josh waits for him as Mr. D then walks over to him and steps through. Laura and Sienna can be seen talking to one another.

Knots: “Listen to his theme music! It’s called Judas and he’s just stabbed Sienna in the back!”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann not happy. Mr. D was going to make one decision, but Josh Hudson made a different one for him. He’s cashing in his Trios Tournament shot to face Sienna Swann at Bound by Blood!”

Knots: “But why? I thought Sienna and Josh were allies!”

Josh and Mr. D disappear to the back before the scene cuts away to commercial

Breakdown returns as we now see Jessica Winters outside of the office of Mr. D.

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and it’s been an interesting situation. The boss, Mr. D and Josh Hudson entered his office presumably to hash out details regarding Josh Hudson’s cash in. A few notes – Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall already tried to get in, knocking on the door and being obnoxious. They were told to leave by Dean Black. Sasha is not in there. She wasn’t in the office when Josh and Mr. D arrived and-“

We then see Laura Steinbeck walking over with London and Paris Truelove.

Laura: “This is a travesty! Josh Hudson’s ego getting in the way. We were supposed to have a meeting with Mr. D after this to determine London and Paris’ Tag Team Championship shot and he’s taken over this all for his own gains!”

Jessica: “Do you have any comments specifically regarding a potential Sienna and Josh match beyond your comments on Josh’s ambitions.”

Laura: “I hope he’s ready to lose. He was supposed to be saving that contract for our purposes. We had big plans…ruining everything!”

We then see Dean Black coming back on the scene.

Dean: “Laura, London, Paris…you need to go.’

Laura: “We had a meeting.”

Dean: “It’s cancelled. Take it up with him later.”

Laura: “This is ridiculous!”

London and Paris both roll their eyes as they’re forced out of the scene. Jessica turns to the camera.

Jessica: “When we have something, we’ll let you know. Back to the ring.”

We cut away.

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Alistaire Allocco

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, pyro suddenly goes off on the stage in sync with the creative soul himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Seattle, Washington, he is Aaron Blackbourne!”

The lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed, as Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, accepting high fives from the fans with a smile. As he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs 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 the same raised and outstretched pose as before, 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.

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne finally returning to the ring after weeks where the situation with Scarlet Grey has derailed him. Aaron detailed what happened at Kelcey Wallace’s yearly Halloween party this past weekend and you wonder if he can even focus tonight.”

Konts: “Not just from there. Tonight, Scarlet’s been in that same succubus outfit. Even got Alistaire involved in this. He’s going to try and convince Aaron.”

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

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

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

Sharper: “Scarlet Grey coming up with Alistaire Allocco and Allocco being a bit naïve.”

Knots: “Although insufferably also blind to Scarlet flirting with him.”

Sharper: “This is going to be an interesting one.”

The bell sounds. Blackbourne steps out and spins around. Allocco watches him. The two then circle a bit before lunging at one another and lock-up. They two push back on one another and Allocco turns into a side headlock. He then turns and spins through and grabs the arm of Blackbourne and wrenches it before jerking on the arm. He holds onto it as Blackbourne flips forward and rolls back and Allocco then turns into a side headlock, taking him down. Allocco can be seen openly talking to Blackbourne, almost preaching to him. Blackbourne rolls over and starts to get up and Allocco turns and grabs him in a side headlock again. Blackbourne pulls Allocco back to the ropes before firing him off. He bounces off and Blackbourne spins around him on the rebound. He goes to lift him up, but Allocco blocks it and hits a standing switch. He then takes Blackbourne down with a double leg takedown from behind before waistlocking Blackbourne and rolling over into a bridge.

Blackbourne kicks out. Both get up and Allocco goes to forearm Blackbourne, but Blackbourne blocks it and then hits a step up enziguri.

Sharper: “Blackbourne gets that first big shot. He’s at least focused for now.”

Knots: “Allocco may not be. He may be wondering where the hell that came from!”

Sharper: “Blackbourne is known for his creativity and quickness. Meanwhile, Allocco has been talking to Blackbourne this whole match so far. That was probably to get him to stop!”

Allocco starts to get up, blinking a bit before Blackbourne nails him with a forearm and then another. He pushes him into the ropes and fires him off. Allocco bounces off and Blackbourne hits a jumping back elbow. He turns and goes for the pin.

Allocco kicks out. He turns and starts to get up and Blackbourne gets up and knees him in the ribs before jumping up and hitting a knee drop to the back of Allocco’s head. Allocco rolls over and Blackbourne goes for another pin attempt. Allocco is actually talking to him in the pinfall.

Allocco pushes him off and turns.

Sharper: “Blackbourne trying to use those combinations to do some damage.”

Knots: “Just drove that knee into the back of Allocco’s head. Not much up there, so don’t know how much damage it did.”

Allocco grabs at the ropes and Blackbourne nails him with a shot to the ribs. Allocco turns to the corner. Aaron grabs him and whips him across the ring. He runs after and jumps up for a double knee. Allocco moves out of the way. Blackbourne steps off and limps and Allocco hoists him up and spins around into a back suplex. The crowd ohs. Allocco rolls over and hooks the leg as Allocco looks down, discussing presumably Scarlet to Blackbourne.

Blackbourne kicks out. He turns and Allocco starts to get up. Aaron starts to get to his feet and Allocco hooks him up and hoists him up and hits a gutbuster. Blackbourne rolls over in pain. He slowly stirs and Allocco drags him up before turning and whipping him into the ropes. Blackbourne bounces off and Allocco catches him and locks in an abdominal stretch. The crowd boos as Allocco pulls back and Allocco talks to Blackbourne as Blackbourne yells at him to shut up.

Knots: “There’s a good Christian maneuver. Makes you realize your faith in God.”

Sharper: “Would you stop?”

Knots: “Okay…there’s a good moral maneuver. It will just cause the impure thoughts to just drip out of you! Depends if you’re thinking about Scarlet or not!”

Sharper: “And Allocco is actually discussing this all to him. He’s actually doing what Scarlet wants. And he won’t stop!”

Blackbourne winces as Allocco pulls back. He smiles as he then wrenches on it again. He looks around as the crowd boos and a “Blackbourne!” chant begins. Allocco looks around an dshakes his head. Blackbourne starts to fight, trying to get out as the official checks on him. He then manages to get a bit more free before backing up a bit, pushing Allocco back and hoisting him up for a hip toss before turning and catching Allocco’s head for a neckbreaker. The crowd roars. Allocco rolls over as Blackbourne winces a bit.

Sharper: “Blackbourne showing heart! And an innovative counter!”

Blackbourne then starts to get up and Allocco does too and Blackbourne kicks him in the ribs and then nails him with a hard forearm before grabbing Allocco and whipping him into the ropes. Allocco bounces off and Blackbourne grabs him by the head, locking in a sleeper before hoisting him up and slamming him down. He goes for the pin.

Allocco kicks out. Blackbourne rolls off and starts to get up. Allocco turns and starts to get up to a seated position as Blackbourne runs across the ring, bounces off and hits a running soccer kick to the chest. The crowd ohs and Allocco falls back. Blackbourne then turns and moves to the corner. He climbs up to the top rope and looks back. The crowd roars. He steadies himself and goes for a moonsault. Allocco rolls out of the way. The crowd ohs as Blackbourne crashes to the mat. He stumbles up to his feet and Allocco gets up and steps forward and spins around Blackbourne into a waistlock before hitting a German suplex into a bridge.

Blackbourne rolls his shoulders up in time. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Blackbourne missed! German by Alistaire! Only two!”

Knots: “We wondered if Blackbourne would be focused. He’d is on this. And the number two, just the count, not two of something else!”

Sharper: “At least Allocco stopped the discussion. He’s focusing on winning now.”

Blackbourne starts to get up and Allocco turns and nails him with a forearm shot before pulling him in. He tries to for an exploder suplex as Allocco speaks into Blackbourne’s ear, only for Blackbourne to elbow his way out of it and then push him back, holding onto his arm, to pull him back in, hoisting him onto his shoulders and hitting the Pull the Trigger. Allocco hits the mat and rolls over. He winces as she slowly staggers back up. Blackbourne turns and stumbles to the ropes. Allocco moves to the middle of the ring as Blackbourne turns and drills him with the Unchained Creativity!

Sharper: “Blackbourne hit it!”

Knots: “I think Alistaire tried to do too much discussion! Tried too hard to win him over to Scarlet’s side!”

Sharper: “Unchained Creativity puts Alistaire Allocco down!”

He goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and Aaron Blackbourne rolls over. He then looks around and almost looks a bit relieved as he gets up and the referee raises his arm.

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

Sharper: “Blackbourne returns to the ring and whether out of anger, frustration, or motivation, he got it done and picks up a huge win against Allocco!”

Knots: “Scarlet can’t be pleased. I don’t think Aaron is convinced.”

Sharper: “Doesn’t need to be convinced in my mind. He’s happy. Scarlet needs to move on. Just like Alistaire needs to focus on what he does best, compete. It’s what Aaron did tonight! Finding a creative way to win.”

Blackbourne looks back at Allocco as he walks around and takes a few breaths before we cut away.

The scene opens up backstage to see Owen Cruze with Selena Frost, in costume, and with them now is Slayter Mckinney, who is dressed like Stevie Nicks, completely with a top hat and large coat that opens up at the bottom.

Owen: “What the hell did that mean?”

Selena: “It’s mind games. He clearly has something up against D. After Rise to Greatness…”

Slayter: “I know I’m still new. I don’t know Giovanni that well, but he’s a bit off.”

Owen: “Passed all drug tests.”

Selena: “We’ve all asked.”

Slayter: “Geez.”

Just then, Sasha D. shows up to the group.

Sasha: “Uh…hi. I hope I’m not interrupting.’

Owen: “Oh, no…Sasha…”

Slayter looks around a bit.

Selena: “Sasha, how are you? It’s been an interesting night.”

Sasha: “Very interesting especially with half of the roster dressing, half not. I expect the hotel bar to be interesting. Um…”

Sasha thinks for a moment and smiles.

Sasha: “Slayter, right? We’ve not met. Pleasure to meet you. Been hearing a lot of good things and people in the office see big things for you.”

Slayter smiles.

Slayter: “Thank you…thank you!”

Sasha: “Owen, nice to see you again. Been a while.”

Owen: “It has.”

Sasha: “I’m sorry about the situation with Giovanni.”

Owen: “Just trying to make sense of it.”

Sasha: “Many of us are. But…do you mind if I borrow Selena for a moment?”

Owen: “Go for it.”

Selena: “I’ll be in a minute. We can keep figuring out what’s going on.”

Slayter and Owen walk off as Selena heads over with Sasha to the side.

Selena: “What’s up?”

Sasha: “Is my father acting differently in the last couple of months?”

Selena: “Well outside of the fact that he’s been more stressed and blunt…”

Sasha: “He gets that way. I’m thinking that….people who trust him or at least respect his decision-making are questioning things more.”

Selena looks a bit intrigued.

Selena: “Is the board looking-“

Sasha: “No…It’s…well…”

Selena: “Katya. You’re wondering if he’s trying too hard to make it work.”

Sasha: “Perceptive.”

Selena: “Deanna and I have grown a lot in our relationship lately. I can’t say anything I’d be concerned about. And I’ve talked to Katya a lot. She’s been fine, fitting in.”

Sasha: “Alright. Just…concerned. That’s all. I know how badly he wants to have a good relationship with her after everything. But something feels off.”

Selena: “All I can say is you may need to talk to Katya. Basically, since she was around CHBK and Ravyn, she’s been great to be around, even if she’s around less. Seems like that was the best thing for her.”

Sasha: “Thanks.”

Sasha nods and heads off. Selena looks concerned as we then hear something falling over. Selena turns and heads over. We then see Sam scurrying away and running off.

Selena: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

The camera cuts to see Sam running down the hallway as the scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Josh Hudson walking out of the office of Mr. D.

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Josh Hudson, just leaving.”

Josh walks past, smirking.

Josh: “Have a match to get ready for.”

He heads off as Mr. D exits his office and heads over to Jessica.

Jessica: “Mr. D, can you please confirm anything?”

Mr. D: “I can. Officially, at Bound by Blood, Josh Hudson will challenges Sienna Swann for the SCW World Championship.”

The crowd roars.

Jessica: “You’ve mentioned Sienna Swann.“

Mr. D: “He specially wants to challenge her at that event. This still needs Board approval, but I don’t expect that to be an issue.”

Jessica: “So what about Blake or Syren or Cassidy.”

Mr. D: “That’s a bit easier to figure out in one sense. I had planned to book Blake Mason to face Cassidy Carter to determine the next contender. That match will happen at Bound by Blood now. The winner becomes the number one contender to the SCW World Championship.”

Jessica: “What about Syren?”

Mr. D: “Hasn’t done anything to convince me she deserves it more than either of them. And her attitude certainly doesn’t help.”

Jessica: “With all due respect, Cassidy Carter did steal a title.”

Mr. D: “Did she miss a match? Miss two matches?”

Mr. D turns and heads back to the office door as we then cut to the ring.

Max Kane vs. Maddy Steward

“That Girl’s a Genius” blasts through the arena and the camera pans a wide shot and to show the crowd’s pop for the youngest of the Steward clan. The camera changes as it switches to the stage entrance where Madison walks out dress in her dark black ring attire and wearing a steampunk white rabbit mask. She stops on the stage and feeds off the crowds energy that gets her pumped. She takes off down the aisle sprinting to the ring and slides inside it. She gets up on her knees and takes off her mask bopping her head to the music and smiles to the crowd. Madison picks herself up and takes off her black ring coat and gets ready for her match and her music fades out.

Phillips: From Riverside, California…she is…Madison Steward!!!”

Sharper: “Our next contest is between Madison Steward and Max Kane.”

Knots: “I’m sure both will be looking to gain some momentum after taking losses at Under Attack. My money is on Maddy. She’s wrestling royalty after all.”

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 is propelled from underneath the ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and drops to his knees on the ramp, the camera right in his face. Max yells at the camera before he stands on his feet. Max looks around the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is sporting a black and orange tanktop. However, the tanktop has a Guns n Roses Appette for Destruction esue design with the skulls clearly showing Dante McCaffery, Jack Parker, Xander Valentine, Savali and Ms. Budde on the cross with the top reading "Rock N Roll Revenge Tour". Max flashes the shirt to the camera before walking to the other side of the stage. Max then walks to the middle of the ramp and storms down the ring.

Phillips: From San Francisco, California, weighing in at two hundred, ten pounds....The Rock N' Roll Unicorn, "Mad" Max Kaaane!

Max walks down to the ring, looking around the crowd, yelling to them. Max once again eyes the camera and he eyes it for a few seconds. The youngster picks up his pace and walks past the camera towards the apron. He runs into the ring and immediately runs up the top rope. Max yells to the crowd and then cheer as he looks to hs left and then hs right. He motions for the crowd to make some noise before he jumps off the ropes. He retreats to the corner and starts moving around. He sees he camera and flashes his tanktop again. Max takes off his tanktop and tosses it to the crowd. He yells at the referee as he paces back and forth.

The ref calls for the bell as Kane and Maddy step forward. They lock up, with Kane using his height to his advantage, pushing Maddy into the corner, before shoving her and stepping back. Kane smirks at Maddy.

Sharper: “Max Kane forever confident.”

Maddy steps out of the corner as Kane goes to lunge forward, but Maddy steps aside and lands a swift kick to the abdomen. Kane doubles over. Maddy lands a kick to the back of Kane’s legs. Kane stands up straight before Maddy hits another kick to the abdomen. Maddy then hooks Kane and plants him with a DDT. Maddy then goes for the cover.

Kane kicks out!

Knots: “Maddy kicking the Rock-n-Roll Unicorn like she’s the second coming of Bruce Lee.”

Sharper: “Madison Steward with the first pin attempt of the match, getting a two count.”

Maddy locks in a head lock, but Kane climbs to his feet, hooking Maddy and driving her into the mat with a side suplex. Kane goes for a cover of his own.

Maddy kicks out. Maddy goes to get to her feet, but Kane grabs hold of her and hits a backdrop. Maddy rolls over onto her stomach and pushes herself up off of the mat. Maddy gets to her feet only for Kane to take her down with a running cutter. Max then hooks the leg.

He smirks out of the crowd before leaping off of the top, going for a diving headbutt, but Maddy rolls out of the way. Kane’s head hits the mat and bounces back.

Sharper: “Max Kane going for that high risk maneuver but crashing and burning in a bad way.”

Knots: “The kid has some issues. He may need to be evaluated.”

Maddy pulls herself up onto the top rope. She eyes Kane who is on his back, holding his head. Maddy then leaps off of the top, hitting the Rising Star Frog Splash. Maddy then hooks the leg.

The ref calls for the bell before helping Maddy to her feet.

Sharper: “And Madison Steward pulling off the win here tonight, hitting the frog splash off the top.”

Maddy takes a look at Kane before climbing out of the ring and heading to the back.

Maddy celebrates as the crowd cheers. She looks around and goes to the corner. She then climbs up to the middle rope. She then pumps her fists and poses for the fans as she looks around. She nods as the crowd starts to boo before we see Bianca Evans hop onto the apron and enter the ring. Maddy hops down as Bianca runs at her and grabs her and throws her down. She then goes for the arm. Ophelia also shows up at ringside and she has a pipe in her hand as Bianca shrieks at her.

Bianca: “Make sure no one stops me!”

Bianca turns back and Maddy nails her with a hard forearm. She then gets up and nails her with a forearm and then another and another before backing up and running into the ropes, but Bianca drills her with the B-Trigger. She spins off and down. Bianca then turns and grabs her arm. She starts to set up for the Sacrament.

Sharper: “Bianca Evans here. Not done with the Stewards. Maddy the one she hadn’t gotten a clear shot at.”

Knots: “And sending the message through her. Going for that armbar!”

Sharper: “Here comes Gigi and Katie and TJ!”

Gigi runs down, running with the most urgency. Katie follows a few feet behind with TJ running forward. Ophelia goes to swing at TJ, identifying him as the one who interfered at Under Attack, but TJ blocks it and Gigi spears her down. Ophelia rolls over in pain as the crowd roars. Katie and TJ then head to the ring. Gigi gets up and turns and runs into the ring. Bianca lets go and smacks the mat in frustration before rolling to the floor. Ophelia rolls over, holding her ribs as Bianca walks around. Katie gets up with TJ standing in front of her to protect her as Gigi turns and goes to Maddy.

Sharper: “Gigi going to Maddy as TJ is protecting Katie. Katie in the ring in a scene I’m stunned to see. She’s coming out to compete here.”

Knots: “Bianca Evans is pissed!”

Sharper: “Her mother getting speared. She’s not trained and it showed. Bianca’s arrogance maybe getting in her way. But thank God they stopped her and Bianca learning you don’t mess with the united Stewards!”

Kane starts to get up as he looks around the ring and shrugs as Gigi helps Maddy up. Bianca yells at her mother as she struggles to get up. Bianca turns to the ring and lets out an angry yell as Katie and TJ keep their eye on her before the scene cuts away.

Backstage Ikiro Yoshida is seen next to Hana Ito backstage. He can be seen smiling as he now has a red leather jacket and sunglasses as he turns to Hana.

Hana: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m here with Ikiro Yoshida and tonight, you face Blake Mason-“

Ikiro stops her.

Ikiro: “Do not mention his name…he disrespects Sienna. He gets ass kicked!”

Ikiro looks at the camera as he then walks off as the crowd boos and we cut away.

The scene cuts to the ring to see Jessica Winters standing in the middle of it.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time, the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling…Donovan Kayl!”

The crowd cheers as "Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play and the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp.

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

The crowd cheers some more as Donovan Kayl walks out from the back. He looks around the arena and nods before starting to make his way down to the ring.

Sharper: “Under Attack, Donovan Kayl gave Damian Angel the singles match he wanted at Apocalypse. But it didn’t end as Damian Angel would have liked, or Donovan Kayl for that matter.”

Knots: “Har Megiddo got involved and then Trinity and Kennedy Street came out and helped Donovan, preventing him from being assaulted and injured.”

Sharper: “Damian Angel seemed not too bothered by the interference, but the lack of permanence I’m sure annoyed him.”

Knots: “I’m just not sure with Kennedy getting involved. Damian…someone I worry about.”

Donovan Kayl reaches the ring, high-fiving a few fans before walking up the steel steps and entering the ring. He then walks along the apron before stepping into the ring. He then looks around and the crowd cheers some more. He nods to the reaction before settling next to Jessica Winters. Jessica turns to Kayl.

Jessica: “Donovan, at Under Attack, you faced Damian Angel.”

The crowd boos.

Jessica: “Nothing seemed to have been resolved. Instead, Har Megiddo came out. They attacked you. And if Trinity and Kennedy were not there, one wonders what could have happened.”

Kayl: “Well Jessica, I doubt I would be speaking to you. And instead ,we would be getting a series of speeches about how the Cornerstone was actually destroyed, not merely a shell of its former self. We would be hearing more about the company’s destruction. About how Damian Angel wants to end this all. And if Kennedy and Trinity had not gotten involved…my family hadn’t gotten involved to deal with his cult…that’s the timeline we would be living in.”

Kayl pauses for a moment.

Kayl: “Well I already thanked Trinity and Kennedy after Under Attack and I plan to thank them again tonight when I take them for drinks after the show, but I also did not want them to get involved. It’s something Damian has hinted at. Trinity’s been concerned. I know Kennedy is too. But this was supposed to be my fight. And in that way, I failed because if I know one thing about Damian Angel, with their getting involved, at this point, it’s their fight too.”

Jessica: “And so what are you going to do about that?”

Kayl looks out at the crowd as the crowd cheers.

Kayl: “By doing what I can to end this fight. See, Damian, the first time, travel issues conveniently held me from getting there to face you. Under Attack, Har Megiddo made their presence felt. I think it’s time we do this the way it should be done…one on one. No questions asked. So with the rosters being split in the next two weeks, let’s make sure you and I are on the same show. How about in two weeks, in London, England, you and I face one on one inside a steel cage!”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Oh boy.”

Kayl: “Let’s see if you can tear down the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling with your bare hands, Damian!”

Jessica: “Damian Angel and Donovan Kayl in a steel cage! What a challenge!”

Kayl then takes the microphone again.

Kayl: “Damian…let’s see if you can fight your own fight for once.”

Kayl then steps back as Jessica turns to the crowd.

Jessica: “Well we’re going to find out whether Damian Angel will agree to that-“

???: “You won’t need to wait long, Jessica.”

Damian Angel then walks out from the back with Har Megiddo behind him. He has a microphone in his hand. Malphas, Behemoth stand on either side of him with Kali cackling in the background.

Damian: “You want me to destroy you in one flew swoop in a match where when you realize you’ve already lost, even the officials cannot save you…then so be it. Donovan…prepare for your trip to London to be your last trip of any note.”

Damian then starts to step forward with Har Megiddo behind him, following.

Damian: “But that’s in two weeks if SCW is willing to agree…tonight-“

As they take a few more steps, we see Trinity Street and Kennedy Street walking out from the back on the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers as a spotlight shines down on them. Trinity and Kennedy just stand on the floor, looking at the ramp. Kali points them out. Malphas and Behemoth stop them. Damian then extends his cane in front of Har Megiddo, stopping them. Damian glances over and smirks.

Damian: “Just remember, they can’t save you either in two weeks.”

Damian smirks and steps back before freezing for a moment and turning to Kennedy and Trinity.

Damian: “Kennedy…Maybe I should make a personal visit to ensure this is only Donovan’s fight.”

Kennedy steps forward as Trinity stops her. Kennedy glares at Damian as Damian smirks and heads to the back. Trinity keeps holding Kennedy back. Donovan Kayl walks to the ropes, glaring at Damian too as Damian and Har Megiddo start to head to the back. “Lucifer’s Angel” plays throughout the arena as the crowd buzzes.

Sharper: “Kayl and Angel have agreed. Mr. D needs to sign off, but in two weeks, it looks like they’ll meet in a cage match.”

Knots: “Donovan, if you do anything in your life from here on out, take Damian Angel out!”

Sharper: “A veiled threat to Kennedy at the end. Obviously very personal with the nature of Kayl’s career and Kennedy and Trinity now getting involved.”

Kennedy keeps watching Damian as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown opens up backstage as Christy Matthews is walking into the office of Mr. D.

Christy: “You’re giving him a shot? Andrew Raynes?!”

Mr. D: “Wouldn’t have had to do it immediately had you not lost your composure.”

Christy: “I want that match with Ravyn! I was told I get an actual match with her. Not a tag match, not the Chamber. One on one.”

Mr. D: “Your actions tied my hands. Andrew Raynes will face him and Christy…to make sure you’re not going to get involved, as much as I hate to give him what he wants, you’re on the other tour.”

Christy scoffs and turns away. She then turns back to Mr. D.

Christy: “You better make it worth my while. I’m going away from my child for over a week for this!”

Christy turns and storms off as she heads off. Mr. D watches him leave as he sighs before we cut to commercial.

Backstage, we open up in one of the hallways to see Kennedy Street still annoyed. Trinity Street is with her as Donovan Kayl heads over to them.

Kennedy: “I’m going to go after him now-“

Trinity: “No…you’re not. It’s Damian. You know he’s trying to get just under your skin.”

Kayl: “I’m sorry about that.”

Kennedy: “You need to make sure you take care of him if Mr. D signs that match.”

Kayl: “He will. Just…it’s my fight. You don’t need-“

Trinity: “No. It’s our fight. We’re a family. We’re going to fight like one and we’re going to support each other. And Kennedy…he tries anything, he has to deal with Donovan, with me…and you…”

Kennedy nods as the crowd cheers a bit before we cut to the ring.

Konrad Raab vs. Josh Hudson

SCW Television Championship

Phillips: “The following match is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first, the challenger....”

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain. The crowd cheers and he smiles at them a bit before starting down the ramp. Raab shakes and slaps some fans hands along the way.

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

Raab gets to the ring and goes up the steps then steps through the ropes. He gets up on one corner and holds his fists in the air, posing for a few seconds. He then gets down and turns to face the ramp as his music fades.

Sharper: “Konrad Raab finally getting what he wanted tonight, a shot at the Television Championship. Took offense to Cassidy Carter's theft of Josh Hudson's title belt, thinks the championship deserves more respect.”

Knots: “Josh Hudson agreed to the match at Under Attack, not out of respect but just because he wants to fight and take everyone out. Never one to back down from a challenge.”

“Judas” begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson, the Television Championship belt over his shoulder. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, before heading down to the ring.

Phillips: “And his opponent.... from New York City, New York, he is the current Television Champion.... Josh Hudson!”

Hudson embraces the reaction with outstretched arms as he makes his way down the ramp, his body turned sideways as he faces the crowd with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, shouting, "I'm the best at what I do!!!” Hudson then turns around and hands the title belt to the official. He holds it up for a few seconds before handing it off.

Knots: “Look at the sneer on Hudson's face looking at Raab. I can't tell if he actually dislikes Raab, or just feels like having a nasty fight.”

Sharper: “My money is on both. Raab meanwhile just wants to compete, he wants to hold gold and show what a respectful champion is like... which I have to say it's been a while since we've had a respectable singles champion here in SCW.”

Knots: “And Josh could be adding more gold!”

The bell rings, and Hudson runs at Raab, nailing a flying forearm. Raab staggers backwards, but grabs Hudson's arm. Using that to catch his balance, Raab then spins and sends Hudson into the ropes. Hudson bounces back and Raab goes for a clothesline. Hudson ducks, and hits the other ropes. Raab turns and Hudson comes back with a dropkick. Raab goes down. Hudson boots him in the chest a few times, then goes for a cover.

1!

Raab kicks out.

Hudson gets up, not bothered by the quick kickout. He pulls Raab up and goes to whip him into the ropes. Raab counters though and sends Hudson into the corner. Raab follows and lands a European uppercut. Hudson leans into the corner. Raab throws a few jabs. Hudson covers up while leaning into the turnbuckles, as Raab continues his shots. The crowd cheers, but then suddenly Hudson jumps out of the corner, tackling Raab backwards and to the mat. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Hudson faking Raab out there for a second, and his ploy worked!”

Knots: “That's his ring experience coming into play. Hudson is actually the younger man in this bout... how often does that happen? But he has the experience upperhand. And he's giving those hands to Raab now!”

Hudson mounts Raab and throws lefts and rights. Raab covers up and the official comes over to start a count. Hudson backs off after the one though. He gets up and pulls Raab up. Grabbing Raab from behind, Hudson lifts him up and over with a suplex. Raab adjusts in the air though and lands on his feet. He immediately clubs Hudson between the shoulders with a double ax-handle. Hudson stumbles forward. Raab then grabs Hudson and plants him backwards with a German suplex, bridging for a pin.

Hudson kicks out. Raab gets to his feet, and backs away letting Hudson get up.

Knots: “Look at that, Raab being a gentleman and letting his opponent recover and get up. That courtesy could cost him this bout!”

Sharper: “That doesn't matter to Raab, what matters to him is respecting his opponent.”

Knots: “It should matter, this is a title match! Josh didn’t care about screwing over Sienna and the Beauty Factory!”

Hudson gets to his feet, and gives Raab a single nod, acknowledging his gesture in letting him get up. Raab nods back. Hudson then smirks and nails Raab with a hard right hook. The crowd boos. Hudson then lifts Raab up and plants him with a powerbomb. He then steps over Raab, standing over him, looking down with a sneer. The crowd boos more. Hudson kicks Raab in the ribs before leaning over to grab a leg. Raab sits up though, and grabs Hudson's head, then pulls him down and over into a roll up.

1!

2!

Hudson kicks out. The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “Konrad Raab nearly pulled out a surprise win there!”

Knots: “Upset. I think the term you want is upset.”

Hudson hops up to his feet, glaring. Raab gets up, and Hudson shoves Raab in the chest with both hands. Raab takes one step back. Hudson does it again, this time Raab grabs an arm and spins Hudson around and throws him backwards with a snap suplex. Hudson hits the mat hard, awkwardly on his back. He grabs at his back as Raab turns around. He pushes Hudson to his stomach then grabs a leg, pulling Hudson to the middle of the ring before applying a Boston crab. The crowd roars as Hudson grimaces in pain.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson just landed badly with that suplex and now Raab is doing more damage to that back. How long can Hudson hold out?”

Knots: “Longer than most people, is my guess. He didn't get to this stage of his career by not being tough.”

Hudson reaches towards the ropes but he is clearly too far away. The official checks on him, and he shakes his head no. Raab pulls back, deepening the hold and the angle that Hudson's back is bent. Hudson yells. He pushes himself up from the mat with both hands, lessening some of the pressure. Hudson then starts to walk with his hands, pulling himself slowly closer to the edge of the ring. Raab eases up a little to step with him, rather than let go. Raab then deepens the hold again, causing Hudson to yell again. Hudson kicks with his other leg, trying to knock Raab off balance. When that doesn't work, Hudson pushes himself up with both hands again, then pulls some more, and reaches, finally catching the bottom rope. The official calls for a break, and Raab immediately lets go. Hudson falls and grabs at his back. He pulls himself up using the ropes, as Raab steps back, again letting Hudson get to his feet.

Sharper: “Hudson getting the rope break, and Raab still being honorable, letting him get vertical. But Hudson is holding his back, if this goes much longer, it'll be more in Raab's favor.”

Knots: “And that's why Josh can't afford to let this go on much longer, and he knows it. Oh! See!”

Hudson bounces off the ropes and drills Raab with a spinning elbow. He then turns and grabs Raab and sends him into the ropes. Raab springs back, and Hudson gets him over with a Northern Lights suplex, and bridges for a pin, but before the official can count his back gives and Hudson falls. The crowd oohs and cheers as Raab rolls away and gets up. Hudson starts to get up.

Sharper: “Looks like that Boston crab earlier did more damage than Hudson realized!”

Knots: “He needs to find a way to end this now if he wants to leave here with his title!”

Hudson gets to his feet and Raab throws a hard right. Then an uppercut. Then goes for another jab, but Hudson grabs his arm and sends him into the ropes. Raab grabs the top rope to stop his momentum, then turns. Hudson shakes his head and steps forward and grabs Raab, spinning him around to hold him from behind. Hudson then lifts Raab up for a snap suplex, but midway his back buckles. Raab lands on his feet awkwardly and Hudson grabs at his back, spinning around angrily. Raab hasn't got his balance yet and Hudson takes advantage by drilling him with a hard forearm. Raab staggers back. Hudson lands another forearm, then goes for another. Raab grabs his arm this time though, and counters by whipping Hudson across the ring. On the rebound Raab grabs Hudson and spins him around before lifting him up and overhead with another German suplex, again bridging for the cover.

The crowd erupts as Hudson kicks out a second too late. The bell rings.

Phillips: “Here is your winner by pinfall... and NEW SCW Television Champion... Konrad Raab!!”

Hudson holds his back as he rolls to his side. Raab looks down, but the official grabs his arm to raise it, handing him the belt with the other hand. Raab takes it, looking down at it for a few seconds, then raises it overhead with a huge smile on his face. He looks down at Hudson again, who is now sitting up, a smirk on his face.

Sharper: “How do you like that.... newly crowned champion and Raab seems to be concerned about if Josh Hudson is hurt. That tells you the kind of man he is.”

Knots: “Only thing hurt about Hudson right now is his pride, he only missed kicking out in time by a hair. He’s got a World Title shot though…Look at him!”

Sharper: “I'd rather not, we have a new champion, a deserving one, and I couldn't be happier for him. Konrad Raab, he's finally got some gold to call his own.”

Raab stands in one corner on the middle rope holding the belt up to the crowd as they cheer. He continues to celebrate as the cameras stay on him as the crowd continues to cheer.

Backstage, we see a shot of Jack Parker packing backstage outside of what appears to the locker room of Bree Lancaster and Scott Burnside. The camera pans back to see what appears to be a fern. But that fern is actually a costume of Abigail Lindsay. She just looks at the room before we see Dawn Lohan, dressed normally, walking over to her.

Dawn: “Really?”

Abigail: “What? They said they didn’t have to worry about me. I took that as a challenge.”

Dawn: “We lost. There are new challengers. It’s what it is.”

Abigail: “Still…challenge.”

Dawn: “Abi.”

Abigail: “Fine.”

Abigail gets up, starting to take off the costume. Dawn quickly stops her.

Dawn: “Are you in your-“

Abigail: “What…it’s warm?”

Abigail smiles.

Dawn: “You really need to just play this games.”

Abigail: “I was bored. And looks like I need to wait for other things.”

Dawn: “Well-“

Dawn then suddenly stops before she looks up.

Dawn: “What do you two want?”

The camera pans back as we see Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner. The crowd cheers. Dawn then spins Abigail around.

Abigail: “Oh, hey.”

Sam: “Just going to say that probably will take more.”

Crissy: “Even though, with all four of us here, we could give the Network some fun and put a good scare into Bree.”

Dawn: “Not interested.”

Crissy: “Really?”

Dawn: “It’s what it is. I’m respecting the new champions. They won…new contenders.”

Sam: “So just going to say that’s that.”

Dawn: “Well-“

Abigail: “Don’t like the tone.”

Sam: “Neither do we. We busted our ass at Under Attack. And Bree and Scott are our champions. After taunting us. We’re not standing down.”

Crissy: “Neither should you.”

Abigail: “Call me interested now. We won’t.”

Crissy: “Well then…unless Dawn is just going to sit on the sidelines…”

Abigail: “If you want a match.”

Dawn: “Abi…look-“

Sam: “Looks like it. I’d love to prove myself against the former champions.”

Crissy: “Works for me.”

Abigail: “Do we rock, paper, scissors, to tell the boss?”

Dawn: “Abi-“

Crissy: “Let’s just hope we’re on the same tour. We can tear the house down.”

Sam turns to Jack Parker.

Sam: “Security breach!”

Abigail smirks as Dawn turns and rolls her eyes as the scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Konrad Raab walking into his locker room, holding the SCW Television Championship. We hear a roar from people inside, including Sammy Thomas Davies, Max Kane and then we see the KABLAMican Dream and Baby Doll Dreams come over.

Adonis: “It’ll be lots of fun facin’ ya on yer home continent!”

There’s more cheers as Cookie throws off her top, revealing another custom, that of a caution sign, presumably because of the tape that is wrapped around her breasts. We then see Manvel stepping in, dressed as an oil drilling rig, and he has bottles of baby oil in his hands as he sprays them around as we see Kane spraying some champagne toward Konrad Raab as another cheer comes from the group of wrestlers.

Sharper: “A hell of a celebration taking place backstage. Konrad Raab finally holding SCW gold! He’s our new TV Champion!”

The scene continues to play out before we cut away.

The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos as Regan Street saunters out from the back, looking particularly annoyed. Mikaela Street walks out with her and the crowd boos some more.

Knots: “She does not look happy.”

Sharper: “When has she been? She assaulted her own half-brother, willingly and with malice. Both of them did at Under Attack and then Regan was taunted by Datura.”

Regan has a microphone in her hand and she stops at the top of the stage. She walks out toward one end before stopping and turning back toward the middle of the stage. Mikaela Street looks around as the music fades out. The crowd boos loudly as Regan stops in the middle of the stage before starting to pace.

Regan: “Tonight is not a night that I’m going to look back fondly on. A group I called my family in professional wrestling is imploding because of personal interests….”

Regan runs her hand through her hair, moving it out of her face.

Regan: “Ten days after I tried to do what is best for my actual family and yet, it won’t be appreciated. My adopted son is on the shelf, likely for months before he can even start training, just as he finally was going to get the spotlight he deserved. Oh…and I’ve got a ghost from the past decided that I’m the next target. Right Datura? Is that the message you wanted me to get? Is that what you wanted me to take from you spiking Alexis Quinne on her head at Under Attack and pulling out of my t-shirts in a not so veiled threat?”

Regan looks right at the camera in front of her as she stops pacing for a moment. She then scoffs, chuckling a bit before pacing a bit more as Mikaela stands behind her.

Regan: “Well piledrive Alexis Quinne once…piledrive her forty times. I don’t give a damn about that Pint-Sized Annoying Little Bitch!”

Regan turns back to the camera.

Regan: “See Datura, I got your message, your pathetic attempt to get my attention when you already had it for what you were saying to AJ. But now as you’re away on your suspension…gone before we even was able to know you. You’ll be suspended for longer than you were on the roster when you came back. Well, I hope it’s not your attempt to run, realizing you’ve poked the Hellcat and I’m not screwing around!”

Regan continues to look at the camera as Mikaela smirks behind Regan.

Regan: “So you want to take out the matriarch, well Datura, I want you to take your time away from the ring and to think hard…what do you want broken? Your arm? Your leg? Your neck? You threatened to drop people on their necks. Well…I’ll let you choose what I drop you on.”

Regan then drops the microphone as she steps back. She turns and heads to the back with Mikaela turning and following her. The crowd roars as they look on.

Knots: “Well, I think that was pretty clear.”

Sharper: “Datura aimed for the mind games and the veiled message. Regan, the blunt response.”

Knots: “Datura can stew on that for a while. For a few weeks at least.”

Sharper: “She’s suspended thanks to that piledriver until November 20^th…that’s the day before the final Breakdown before Bound by Blood.”

Knots: “And she’s already agreed to face Alexis Quinne when she returns. Looks like Regan doesn’t want to wait long either!”

The camera remains on the stage as it is empty for a few moments longer before the scene cuts away.

“Immortals” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Ikiro Yoshida vs. Blake Mason.

Sharper: “Main event time. Blake Mason and Ikiro Yoshida. They meet! Next!”

The scene fades to black.

Blake Mason vs. Ikiro Yoshida

Red and white lights begin to flash wildly when the opening to “Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett begins to play over the P.A System. The SCW fans rise to their feet casting their eyes to the stage where the curtains part. A sudden pause befalls the arena until a man walks out with a confident swagger in his step, Ikiro Yoshida. He wears his trademark red eye patch with a gold dragon emblazoned onto it along with his long sleeved jacket. A smirk appears on the Japanese superstar’s lips before he spins around once and drops down to one knee, both his arms outstretched while he looks down at the ground…

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan, he is Ikiro Yoshida!”

The fans boo for the Japanese superstar, he leaps back up onto his feet and looks down at the ring. He then starts to make his way to the ring. He then runs to the ring and slides in. He rolls to his knee and looks out. He backs up and takes off his jacket and hands it off as he starts to pace in the ring.

Sharper: “When this match was announced last week, this match seemed like a solid challenge for both, but with Blake’s continued attention toward a World Title shot, Ikiro Yoshida’s worship if you will off Sienna Swann and then add that Josh Hudson cashing in Trios…this is now a lot more intensive.”

Knots: “Yeah and Ikiro Yoshida could be able to make a heck of a statement against Blake Mason here. You want a shot at Sienna. You want to keep the momentum. You’re going to have to deal with him.”

“The Memory Remains” by Metallica starts to play. Blake Mason simply walks through the curtain. He pauses momentarily at the top of the ramp. The crowd cheers.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”

Not reacting to the reaction the crowd is giving him, Blake heads to the ring. Reaching the steel steps, he walks up them, on to the apron, steps into the ring. Blake looks across at Ikiro Yoshida as he then runs into the ropes, bounces off and then opts to lean against the turnbuckle, the expression on his face, stoic.

Sharper: “Blake Mason will need to be careful here. Ikiro Yoshida is a very dangerous competitor and since Rise to Greatness, has been even more dangerous. More focused.”

Knots: “Yeah, but after what he said earlier, as you said, he’s going to be looking to take him out or give him something to think about.”

The bell sounds. Blake then starts to come out as Ikiro stretches out his leg a bit, ignoring Blake at first. He then steps out and Blake then steps forward and goes for a collar and elbow tie-up, only for Ikiro to lunge and drill Blake with a hard palm strike to the face. Blake stumbles back and Ikiro nails him with a hard right to the ribs and then a hard left before hitting a forearm, knocking Blake into the corner. Ikiro rears back and shoulder thrusts him in the ribs before rearing back and hitting another shoulder thrust and then a third one before backing up and just smacking Blake. The crowd ohs and boos as Ikiro turns around and walks away as Blake turns away, letting the impact sink in.

Sharper: “Come on. Just disrespect.”

Knots: “Well Blake disrespected Sienna. Just like Chris Cannon did. He’s got this sense of standing up for Sienna! He’s standing up for the IronAngel!”

Ikiro turns around and Blake turns and nails him with a hard right. The crowd roars. Blake nails him with another hard right and kicks him in the ribs before he scoops him up and slams him down. Ikiro rolls over and moves to the ropes. Blake follows up and Ikiro elbows him in the ribs and then again before backing up to the ropes and bouncing off and Blake ducks a clothesline attempt. Blake turns around as Ikiro bounces off the other side and Blake nails him with a dropkick. The crowd roars. Blake goes for the pin.

Ikiro kicks out. Both men get up and Blake grabs Ikiro and Ikiro reaches up, trying to rake his eyes. Blake counters with a knee. He then drags him across and Ikiro blocks him before elbowing him in the ribs before hitting a jawbreaker. Blake stumbles to the corner. Ikiro then gets up and lets out a yell and nails him with a running clothesline into the corner. Blake falls forward and Ikiro throws him down. He then follows up with an elbow drop.

Sharper: “Ikiro happy to trade blows with Blake and now an elbow drop.”

Knots: “Blake doesn’t even know where it’s coming from. Ikiro’s just coming at him at different angles and shots. Ikiro really is a different man and I like it!”

Ikiro gets up and then stomps him in the face. Blake rolls over. Ikiro dives onto him and goes for the pin.

Blake kicks out. Ikiro gets up and Blake rolls over. He stirs and Ikiro grabs him and snapmares him over and kicks him in the back. Blake grimaces and turns to his side. Ikiro then yells something at him in Japanese before stomping him in the face. Blake rolls over to the ropes. He grabs at them and Ikiro pull shim and nails him in the ribs with a hard right. He then spins him around and hits an overhead chop to the chest. The crowd woos. Blake then nails him with a hard forearm. Ikiro chops him again. More woos. Blake forearms him again and again. He then kicks him in the ribs, hooks his head and hits a vertical suplex.

Sharper: “Blake fighting back. Not going to take this disrespect!”

Knots: “Yeah. He’s used to dishing it out!”

Blake gets up and Ikiro gets up too and Blake scoops him up and hits a backbreaker. He then turns and runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a knee drop. He rolls through before turning and going for the pin.

Ikiro kicks out. Blake grabs him and drags him up. He then knees him in the ribs before gutwrenching him up and suplexing him over. Ikiro turns and starts to get up to the ropes. Blake walks after him and suddenly Ikiro lifts him up and back drops him over the top rope. Blake falls to the floor. (1)

Knots: “That was ugly. Ikiro just muscled him up.”

Sharper: “Ikiro wanted Blake up and over and made sure he sent him up and over.”

Ikiro turns and uses the ropes and slide down to the floor. (1) Blake starts to get up and Ikiro grabs him and pulls him up. (2) Blake nails him in the ribs with a shot and then another before Ikiro fires back with a hard knee to the ribs. (3) He grabs Blake before turning him around and throwing him up and over the announce table. (4) The crowd ohs. Knots and Sharper move out of the way.

Knots: “Hey! Take out Blake! Not us!”

Sharper: “Good lord! Right in our laps!”

Knots: “Fine…take out Sharper!”

Ikiro looks at Blake and then steps over the announce table before jumping up and stomping Blake in the back and then stomping him again and again. (5) The crowd boos as Ikiro then reaches down. (6) He drives him into the announce table and Blake stumbles over to the side of the table. (7) Ikiro sees the count before stepping over the table and dropping to the mats and rolling into the ring and then back out. He then wags his finger at the official. (1)

Sharper: “Restarting the count.”

Knots: “He’s not done. But I don’t get it. If he wants to kick his ass and leave him lying, no rules…”

Sharper: “Maybe he wants the loss on Blake’s record. Take away the win streak.”

Ikiro turns over to Blake and grabs him, but Blake suddenly hoists him up and drops him on the barricade. The crowd ohs. (2) Ikiro falls back and leans against the table. Blake then grabs him and winces. (3) Blake hoists Ikiro up before turning and driving him down with a front suplex onto the table. (4) Ikiro hits and rolls over, holding his ribs, before rolling off the table and to the mats.(5) Blake then walks around and grabs Ikiro and pulls him to his feet. (6) He rolls him into the ring. Blake climbs up onto the apron and steps through, but Ikiro gets up and drills Blake with a hard knee to the ribs. Blake stumbles into the ring. Ikiro then pulls Blake’s head between his legs and hoists him up and hits a turnbuckle powerbomb. Blake hits and falls to a knee.

Sharper: “Blake damaging Ikiro on the table, but Ikiro getting back and now a powerbomb in the corner!”

Knots: “And you can just feel Blake’s air getting forced out.”

Blake steps up and Ikiro grabs him and pulls him out and hits a vertical suplex. He goes for the pin.

Blake gets his shoulder up. Ikiro gets up and turns and goes to the corner before we see Chris Cannon heading out from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers. Ikiro turns and looks at them. Ikiro steps over to Blake and stomps him in the head. Blake rolls over as Chris heads to the ring, but we then see the Trueloves running out behind Chris. Chris slides into the ring. Ikiro stomps him a bit and then again, before London and Paris run down and reach in and pull him out, sliding him out of the ring.

Sharper: “Chris Cannon coming down. Ikiro assaulted him after their match. He’s not waiting any longer.”

Knots: “Not like he owes Blake that!”

Sharper: “Trueloves too! And they’ve just pulled Chris out!”

Chris rolls over and looks at them stunned. Ikiro smirks as Blake turns and rolls up Ikiro.

Ikiro kicks out. Blake stumbles forward and sees London and Paris in front of Chris with Chris down. Blake snaps at them. London turns and waves at him before Chris gets up, saying he’s fine. Blake then backs up and turns and walks into the K-A-R-A-O-K-E Kick. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Chris fine. Blake worried about him, but walks right into the KARAOKE Kick.”

Knots: “Ikiro doing it for Sienna!”

Ikiro goes for the pin.

The crowd boos.

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

Ikiro rolls off and gets up and smiles. Chris Cannon is stopped by London and Paris as he keeps trying to get to the ring. They just obstruct as the crowd boos. Ikiro then stomps Blake in the face before turning and having his arm raised.

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida ends the winning streak! He gets the win!”

Knots: “Talk about a different turn of events.”

Ikiro then steps forward and looks into the camera at ringside.

Ikiro: “Cassidy…you next!”

Ikiro backs up and smiles before turning and looking at Cannon as Cannon glares at him.

Sharper: “Now calling out Cassidy! What is going to happen with the international tours?!”

The scene then fades to black…
