“Supreme Championship
Wrestling...”
A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing
Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting
the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before
turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring,
before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for
the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s
Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with
the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.
“The leading force in sports and
entertainment today....”
MAIN SHOW:
The opening bars of “The Old
Me” by Memphis May Fire play as the Breakdown logo flies across the screen.
I'm thinking about the old me
'Cause I've been feeling empty
I never used to be so dead
inside
Shots of Selena Frost
celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the
Konrad Raab, bloodied, standing tall in the ring. Following this is Cid Turner
punching CHBK in the concourse. Ace Sky diving off the top rope onto an
opponent follows.
I think I lost my memory
I can't remember carefree
And all my days turn into
fight or flight
Holly Adams standing on Asher
Hayes at Tactical Warfare follows before we see Syren hitting the Total
Makeover on an opponent. The One choking out Beard before we see Polly Playtime
diving off the top rope and landing on an opponent with a crossbody.
I wanna get back, tell me how
to get back
I wanna get back, tell me how
to get back
Holly Adams throwing Syren
into the windshield of a pink convertible follows before we see The Happy
Farmstead Friends holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Ravyn Taylor
standing on the ropes, looking down at herself, follows before we see Gavin Taylor
hitting an opponent with the Gavin Taylor Lariat. Glory Braddock hitting the
London Plunge on a downed opponents is next before we see Tsunami hitting a
running body avalanche on an opponent in the corner.
Say it again, say it again,
tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine
and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep
(losing sleep)
Trying to get back to who I
used to be
Where is the old me?
Autumn Valentine hitting the
Blindspot on a foe follows before we see a shot of Owen Lee and Daisy Lee on
their way to the ring, and then a shot of Kimberly Williams licking a staple
gun. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few
moments.
We then cut to a live shot of
the inside of the FTX Arena in Miami, Florida. The cameras pan across the crowd
for a few moments.
Sharper: “A new World
Champion, Apocalypse in ten days, and Breakdown comes to you from South Beach!”
The cameras continue to pan
across the crowd. After a few moments, we cut to ringside where Adam Sharper,
Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots sit at the announce position.
Sharper: “Hello again
everyone. Welcome to ringside. Adam Sharper here with Simon Lyman and Jonathan
Knots and folks, we’re on the path to Apocalypse.”
Knots: “Yeah and we got a hell
of a main event. Something that we don’t know how to call this. Ravyn Taylor
faces Glory Braddock. Both getting bit more of an attitude as of late. Ravyn
Taylor manipulating people as usual and Glory Braddock on the collision course
for the US Title and Josh Hudson.”
Lyman: “Not just that, but
fans, he’s back. Owen Cruze is here. Not Lee, Cruze. Here in his hometown, he
returns to the ring and faces off against Samuel Davis.”
Sharper: “And on top of that,
the Adrenaline Championship on the line. Datura will defend tonight against
Clamidiya-“
Knots: “That’s not her name!
Alexis Quinne Needs Holly Adams! That’s her name!”
Sharper: “Uh huh…”
A long church bell rings,
once- twice- a third time as the crowd explodes. The lights go out as Xander’s
voice echoes out over the sound system, increasing the intensity of the crowd’s
roar.
“Never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
The few opening keystrokes of
“Soul on Fire” by Last Internationale chimed. A lull before the storm as the
crowd seems to calm for only a moment before Delila Paz’s blues dominate the
audio.
“Some are born to kill
Others are born to run
Some need to keep on takin'
Till you ain't got none”
A singular light appears
before the curtains, on the other side is the outline of a large man. On the
screen, we’re shown Xander Valentine holding onto the bars of a prison cell. He
starts to bend the bars before the scene blurs.
“But baby, I wasn't built to die
Lay down and be crucified
Nah, no matter how hard they try
To push me down
Still I rise”
“Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)
Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)”
The curtain drops to reveal
Xander. A quick salvo of pyros explodes in front of him before he steps through
the smoke with an intense look on his face. He goes from one side of the stage
to the next, yelling out to the crowd and throwing up his arms. He then stops
at the top of the ramp while Artemis steps up from behind him and throws his
arm up into the air. Together they start down the ramp, Xander’s gaze affixed
on the ring. The SCW World Championship sits around his waist.
Sharper: “And there is the new
SCW World Champion. That’s right! New champion.”
Lyman: “He had a mission. And
that mission wasn’t to completely destroy Adam Allocco.”
Knots: “At one point it looked
like it might be!”
Lyman: “He says he’s not
done.”
Sharper: “And he may not be,
but his mission last week seemed like the start of something. A start of karma
Xander was going to personally dole out against Adam Allocco and it started
first by taking the World Title. And yet, we don’t fully know why he targeted
Adam. We know he wanted the title. We know Adam took him out. But Xander claims
that’s not all.”
Xander leaps up onto the apron
in a single bound. Artemis joins him by slipping below the bottom rope. Xander
climbs up over the top rope and marches straight to the far side of the ring.
He throws his arms up again, getting a massive pop. He goes to the opposite
side and repeats to garner the same response. He hops down from the rope and
turns to the middle of the ring. Artemis takes a microphone from the apron and
walks over to Xander, handing it to him. Xander takes it as the music fades
out.
Sharper: “He’s going to tell
us something.”
Knots: “I don’t think we’ll
see Xander give some blubbery speech about finally becoming champ again!”
Xander looks around as the
crowd cheers him. He looks around before starting to bring the microphone to
his mouth but before he can even speak, the lights in the arena plunge into
darkness. A pulsing sound plays out across the PA system as the fans cheer.
“Groupie” by Cassie Steele then hits the PA system as we see one of the doors
in the crowd opening and Syren walks through with a microphone in her hand.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
DARK FANTASY
She begins walking down to the
ring as Xander turns to the entrance way.
Sharper: “And looks like Syren
is going to step right up to Xander. She’s not had her chance to be face to
face with him and remember, to end last year and into the start of this year,
Syren and Xander had a series of run-ins.”
Lyman: “And she said it best.
She never felt more alive than when she stood up to Xander. It was the match
she wanted to prove herself.”
Knots: “And now a title hangs
in the balance!”
Syren reaches the ring and
runs up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron, stepping into the
ring. She steps forward as Xander looks down at her. Syren looks up at him as
the crowd roars. The music fades out. The Miami crowd continues to cheer as the
two lock eyes. Xander keeps his microphone at his side. Syren brings the
microphone to her lips and looks at him.
Syren: “I’m not going to be
waiting this time! No! Not after every other time. Not after we’ve had near
miss after near miss after near miss.”
The crowd roars.
Syren: “I want one thing and
the fact that you hold that title is just an extra bonus. I want you Xander!”
The crowd cheers again.
Syren: “You and I have stood
face to face. You and I were supposed to clash late last year. You and I were
supposed to set the wrestling world aflame. Two of the best ever clashing and
it never happened to the level we both know it should have. Injuries, run-ins,
BULLSHIT, stopped it from happening. Well, I don’t have anyone in my corner.
And frankly, I don’t know what other karma you want to dole out against Adam
Allocco. You can do that after. But I’m not going to wait longer for us to face
one on one in the match the WORLD wants!”
Syren looks at him as Xander
then brings the microphone to his mouth.
Xander: “You know damn well I
won’t run. You know damn well that I wanted to face you too. And you know damn
well, I would face you the moment it was signed, title or not. But with the
title, I’ll flat out say it too since you want your precious vindication. I’ll
put it on the line. Just don’t go phoning D yet to be present.”
The crowd roars. Syren and
Xander glare at each other, not out of anger, but just pure intensity.”
Sharper: “Xander referring to
Syren’s personal desire to have the founder of this company place the title
around her waist. It’s what’s fueling her!”
Xander: “Because just like
you, I had my own goals. Professionally, the goal was to hold this title again
the Trios Tournament ensured it. I would’ve preferred to have earned it by
defeating you to my coronation, but so be it. I will just use you to vindicate
MY reign.”
The crowd gives a bit more of
a mixed reaction.
Syren: “I think you’re now
putting the cart before the horse, Xander! Because I’ve made it very clear that
I don’t like being see as a stepping stone or a vessel to help someone get to
what they want. So you just slapped me in the face with that. But that’s
fine…because if you’re putting that on the line, then great!”
Xander: “So…Apocalypse sound
good?”
The crowd roars again.
Sharper: “Syren and Xander are
negotiating!”
Lyman: “They don’t make the
matches!”
Syren: “I’m free if you are!”
The crowd roars.
Xander: “Then-“
“You Know My Name” starts to
play as the crowd gives a mixed reaction. Shaun Cruze walks out from the back,
microphone in his hand. Syren turns and looks at him as Xander just glares at
him. Shaun stops at the stage. The music fades out.
Cruze: “Xander, Syren…I
appreciate your enthusiasm. But contrary to popular opinion, wrestlers do not
make their own matches.”
Syren: “This one seems
straight-forward to me!”
Cruze: “And I know you want
your match against Xander, Syren. I’m not blind to that.”
Xander says nothing as Syren
turns to the ropes, walking up to them.
Syren: “So why aren’t you just
going to rubber stamp a match that everyone here including the two people who
count in the ring want to see!”
The crowd roars.
Cruze: “Because Syren…there is
at least one other individual I feel I should ask first.”
Cruze pauses.
Cruze: “The other person you
wanted to face…The All Star, Gavin Taylor!”
The crowd roars as Syren looks
down, clearly recalling her Rise to Greatness loss.
Sharper: “Gavin Taylor
defeated Syren at Rise to Greatness.”
Cruze: “And I plan to talk to
him tonight. So Syren, Xander….I now know that you two want to face each other.
And with the title on the line, a nice touch. But Syren…no matter how much it
pains you, beating you matters. And Gavin Taylor deserves that respect. And I
know deep down you agree. And Xander…you will know who next faces you at
Apocalypse-“
Xander: “Fine…just you know
the other condition to the match last week. Adam Allocco needs to wait.”
The crowd boos a bit. Cruze
nods.
Lyman: “A secret clause?”
Sharper: “It’s allowed with
the Trios!”
Cruze: “Yes, Xander. Don’t
worry. Adam is going to have to wait. I just hope that he doesn’t self
eliminate.”
Xander: “Not my problem.”
Cruze nods, clearly disturbed
by that remark.
Cruze: “Syren, Xander, you’ll
know by the end of tonight what awaits you at Apocalypse.”
“You Know My Name” plays as
Shaun Cruze turns and heads to the back. Syren turns and glances back to Xander
before turning and stepping through the ropes.
Sharper: “Cruze has a tough
decision. I applaud him for at least being open about not just signing this,
but two very intense individuals in the ring.”
Lyman: “And you know Syren is
trying to not just explode right now.”
Knots: “What about that Xander
is clearly making Adam go through every emotion? Adam Allocco has to wait. No
immediate rematch.”
Lyman: “Neither Xander nor
Shaun even gave a timeline. So is it a month, is it when Xander loses? It is
something else?”
Sharper: “I don’t know, but
tonight, we have a few more questions and we will have answers. I just wonder
if people are going to like them.”
Backstage, we see Holly Adams
turning away from the monitor.
Holly: “Oh Syren. How sad.
Begging for title shots.”
Datura walks over to Holly.
Datura: “Holly-“
Holly turns and jumps in
fright.
Holly: “Jesus! Can’t you warn
me. I mean you look like someone took a scarecrow to a bad tattoo shop and…”
Datura: “Thanks…”
Holly: “You’re welcome. You’re
finally coming around to the idea that I don’t completely hate you.”
Datura sighs.
GiGi then walks over.
GiGi: “Plans are getting
ready.”
Datura: “What plans? I wanted
to talk about that. We’re now doing the title defense tonight.”
Holly: “Yes, Datty. You see…we’ve
had so many successes, but you…we need to make sure you are fully committed.
Look at what we’ve done for Samuel and…others. We’ve given them confidence. A
new look. A new persona. They’ve become new people. And tonight, we start you
on that path.”
Datura: “In a title defense.”
GiGi: “It’s about ensure you
are ready for the next step. To leave your old person behind. Please…come with
me. I will explain.”
Datura sighs.
Datura: “Okay…I…I’ll give it a
shot.”
Datura walks off as Holly
waits until she’s out of earshot.
Holly: “Oh thank God. I was
worried you’d collapse into existential crisis. Now…where’s Alexis…need to find
her!”
Holly walks off camera.
Sharper: “Alexis?”
Knots: “We’re going to see
Datura take a step forward tonight!”
The scene fades to commercial.
COMMERCIALS
Breakdown returns as we see a
limousine pulling up to the building. The crowd buzzes. The limousine comes to
a stop. The chauffeur steps out and walks around the ring and over to the back
door. He opens it and a few moments pass before Adam Allocco steps out from the
limousine. The crowd cheers him as they see him. He takes a deep breath and
does up his blazer before stepping forward. He only gets a few steps before he
stops as Hiro Tanaka greets him.
Allocco: “A nice welcome…”
Tanaka: “You knew they would
after last week.”
Allocco: “Then let’s go and
I’ll prove I’m clean. I may have lost the World Title, but I’m not going to
lose my life again…not with all that caused me to do.”
Allocco then walks forward and
past Tanaka. Tanaka turns and follows in with him as we cut to the ring.
Sharper: “The former World
Champion – Adam Allocco losing the title last week to Xander Valentine.”
Knots: “And SCW making sure he
didn’t fall off the wagon again!”
Sharper: “Was he watching?
Does he know there was an added clause?!”
The One vs. Ace Sky
A rocket drops from the top of
the entrance set to the stage and there is a countdown voice over.
5!

1!
“Eye In The Sky” by The Alan
Parsons Project play as Ace Sky walks out in an aviator jacket and his usual in
ring attire. He salutes a peace sign and jogs down the aisle way high-fiving as
many fans as possible on both sides.
Phillips: “The following
contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First,
from Houston, Texas, he is Ace Sky!”
Ace Sky dashes forward and
leaps upon the apron and flings himself in with a front flip followed by a
series of three front handsprings and a rolling savate kick. He backs up to his
corner, taking off his jacket and preparing for battle.
Sharper: “Ace Sky looking to
get back on the proverbial horse. His run in with the Brand hasn’t gone well.”
Lyman: “I don’t know if facing
the One will help. Especially as we still are trying to figure out what she is
about. We do know she’s interested in Deanna Frost.”
Knots: “And probably the
Underground Championship too!”
The arena goes dark, and
slowly smoke begins to rise from the entry way. "Battle Cry" by
Little V begins to play over the PA system...
I hear the Battle Cry
Under the Devil's Sky
The One Winged Angel Screams
It fuels my Hopes and Dreams
The Best Bout Machine
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
With the stinger of the song hitting, an explosion and pyrotechnics hit, cuing
the spotlights to hit, and standing in the entry way is The One with her back
turned to the audience, head down, and her right hand up in the air with the
number one in the air. She turns at the waist, looking directly at the
ring, and slowly lowers her hand, finger still extended, to point to her
destination. She fully turns and begins her walk to the ring, quickly,
but methodically, occasionally slowly down to look around, not necessarily trusting
anyone around her to not come rush her and attack her.
Phillips: “His opponent, from
Your Worst Personal Nightmare, she is The One!”
As she reaches the ring, she again looks over both shoulders, taking glimpses
of the fans, and assuring her safety before entering. She makes a full
lap of the ring, walking, and staring at everyone at ringside, and occasionally
looking toward the upper decks. As she feels the situation is comfortable
and safe, she walks to the corner facing the ramp, extending both hands and
pointing with one finger toward the entryway, and then turning both palms up
and making the motion with both hands to "bring it." She then
slumps into the corner, sitting on the mat, and awaiting her opponent to enter
the ring.
Sharper: “The One showing she
wants the fight. Here we go.”
Lyman: “Ace Sky will be
different than anything she’s faced. Ace Sky is his own version of speed and
agility!”
The crowd roars as the bell
sounds. The One pulls herself up as Ace looks at her. The One steps forward and
Ace steps up and The One then goes for a spinning back fist. Ace ducks and
spins around. The One turns and Ace goes with a shot to the ribs and then a
back fist to the chest before hitting a back kick to the stomach. The One
staggers back. Ace grabs her and pushes her into the ropes and fires her off.
The One bounces off and Ace hits a rolling kapo kick. The One hits the mat. Ace
goes for the pin.
1!
2!
The One kicks out. She turns
and gets up. Ace steps up and kicks her in the ribs and then hits a jump
spinning back kick to the jaw of The One. The One stumbles back to the corner.
Sharper: “Hard kick to the
jaw. The One not out of the box here.”
Knots: “And maybe Ace has the
answer. If she can’t figure out what the hell is going on, maybe she can’t get
going!”
Ace then steps up and forearms
her in the jaw and then whips her across the ring and into the opposite corner.
Ace runs after her. The One moves out of the way and Ace jumps up and pushes
off the top turnbuckle with a back flip. He lands on his feet and spins around
and The One spins out and hits a discus clothesline, knocking Ace down. She
then mounts him and nails him with a couple of hard right hands before rolling
off. Ace turns and rolls over. He grabs at the ropes and spins around and The
One kicks him in the ribs and then elbows him in the back of the head and hits
a mat slam. Ace hits the mat and rolls over. The One turns and runs into the ropes
and bounces off. She goes for a clothesline. Ace ducks though and runs into the
ropes. The One turns and Ace jumps up and goes for a snap frankensteiner,
taking The One down and she heads to the floor.
Sharper: “Ace again with a
counter. Ace may have the answer to The One!”
Lyman: “The One on the floor.
Bad place for her with someone like this.”
Knots: “Yeah! Gravity has a
problem with Ace Sky too!”
Ace then turns and runs to the
corner and slingshots over.(1) The One gets up on the floor. (2) She turns and
Ace runs along the apron and kicks The One in the chest.(3) The One pops back
and spins around and Ace then turns and backs up and runs along the apron and
goes for a somersault dive, but The One dodges out of the way. Ace lands on his
feet. (1) He then spins around and The One runs at him and spears him back into
the ringpost. The crowd ohs. Ace rolls over, arching his back in pain. (2) The
One looks down at him before grabbing Ace. (3) She drags him up and rolls him
into the ring. (4) The One rolls into the ring. Ace gets up and The One runs at
him and drops down and hits a hard sliding dropkick to the knees of Ace. Ace
flips forward to his back. The One looks at him and then slowly gets up.
Sharper: “The One with a hard
dropkick. Ace Sky with the bad landing.”
Knots: “He won’t be flying as
much.”
Ace Sky rolls over as The One
then looks at him and grabs him and pulls him down with a neckbreaker. The One
looks at him and thinks about a pin before glancing away and rolling to the
floor. The crowd roars as The One looks out. (1) The official counts as The One
then turns and drops down and looks under the ring. (2) The crowd boos as we
see The One smile as she pulls out a ladder. (3) She turns and shoves it into
the ring. The crowd roars as The One rolls in.
Sharper: “The One grabbing a
ladder from under the ring. This isn’t a ladder match, nor is it no holds
barred?!”
Lyman: “Maybe trying to get
Deanna’s attention? She did this with Beard!”
The One gets up as the
official goes to pull the ladder out, but The One steps up and stands on the
ladder. The referee, Jennifer Cassidy, looks at her and tells her she needs to
get it out. The One glares at her and the official tries again. The One grabs
her and turns as Ace Sky gets up and runs up behind The One and nails her in
the back with a running dropsault. The One falls into Cassidy and slams into
her on the mat. The crowd ohs. The One turns and gets up and Ace Sky hits an
enziguri kick. The One flips forward and to the mat as Ace Sky turns and looks at
her before turning to the ladder. He then smiles before grabbing it. He unfolds
it as the crowd roars. He places it next to The One and walks around it,
climbing up on the side opposite her. He climbs up as the crowd cheers for him.
Sharper: “Ace Sky using the
ladder. The One fell into Cassidy!”
Knots: “Does he know it’s not
a ladder match? He’s climbing to the top!”
The One remains down as Ace
climbs up to the top of the ladder. He steps over and sits on the top and
smiles. He looks around. The crowd cheers as The One then gets up and grabs the
ladder and turns. Ace holds on for a moment as The One shoves the ladder down
and Ace lands throat first on the top rope and falls back. The crowd ohs. The
One then leans on the fallen ladder. She folds it closed.
Sharper: “Oh! Ace landing hard
on the top rope! Ace Sky struggling to breathe!”
Lyman: “She’s grabbing the
ladder! She’s going to use it as a weapon!”
Knots: “I think she’s just
getting started.”
The One glances back at
Jennifer Cassidy before she grabs the ladder and lifts it up and turns and
throws it onto Ace. Ace covers up and rolls over. The ladder bounces back. The
crowd ohs. The One grabs the ladder again and repeats the process, throwing it
to Ace again. The crowd ohs before cheers come from the crowd. Deanna Frost
runs out from the back.
Knots: “Looks like Deanna got
the message!”
Sharper: “Deanna running down
to the ring. The Underground Champion is here!”
Deanna slides into the ring as
The One turns and looks at her. Deanna steps up and The One smiles before going
to throw a right hand, but Deanna blocks it and nails her with a hard right and
then another and another before The One hits the ropes. Deanna backs up and
runs at her and clotheslines her over the top rope to the floor. Deanna steps
back as The One rolls through and hits the announce table. She looks up and
then starts to get up. Deanna looks at her as the crowd roars. “People Like Us”
plays throughout the arena as Deanna backs up. The One looks at her and smirks
before then starting to walk around the ring. She keeps saying “Faster” as she
walks around the ring. This draws boos from the crowd. Deanna watches her
before turning back and checking on Ace Sky and then Cassidy. The One walks
around the ring and starts to head to the back.
Sharper: “Deanna Frost
preventing The One from doing more damage with that ladder.”
Lyman: “Checking on both
official Jennifer Cassidy and Ace Sky, but The One looks pleased.”
Sharper: “Playing more mind
games as the champion recognizing it.”
The One continues to head to
the back as Deanna Frost now steps up and looks at her as the scene fades out.
James Evans can be seen
backstage walking out of his locker room in his gear. He steps forward as a
crew member walks up to James.
Crew member: “James! Sorry…I
needed to get here earlier. But just a chaotic tonight. Katie’s not here.”
Evans: “What?”
Crew member: “She’s not here.
Flight was delayed and sorry-“
Evans looks down as the crew
member goes to walk off, but Evans grabs them.
Evans: “Tell Shaun to send me
anyone who wants to fight. Maybe someone wants to make their name. Maybe
someone wants to fight me. Tell Shaun to find me someone. And make it quick.”
The crowd roars as Evans turns
and walks down the hallway. The crew member looks up and takes a deep breath
and goes in the opposite direction.
Sharper: “James Evans is
scheduled to return to the ring, next!”
Knots: “But against who?!”
The scene fades to black.
COMMERCIALS
DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK:
We see a still of The One walking through the tunnel.
Sharper: “Welcome back to
Breakdown. The One goading Deanna Frost to come out to save Ace Sky, but during
the break, our cameras caught this!”
The One walks through the tunnel then steps forward. We
then see Kimberly Williams standing off to the side with Wasley. She hoists it
over her head. The One walks past, but before Williams can step forward, Wasley
is grabbed by Angelica Jones, who pulls on it. Kim turns and turns back to
Angelica, responding in a hushed tone.
Kim: “Mom!”
Angelica: “Kim!”
Kim: “I just wanted to say hi!”
Angelica: “We both know what you were doing. The One has
Deanna’s attention and you want a rematch.”
Kim looks around.
Kim: “Okay? And?”
Angelica: “I told you I’m working on it.”
Kim: “Well I’m impatient!”
Angelica: “Kim! You agreed to let me handle the business
part of this. Trust me on this one. You almost threw it away. You want your
shot, just let me handle it.”
Kim: “Well can’t I introduce Wasley to someone tonight?”
Angelica: “Not necessarily tonight. But Apocalypse…if you
behave…”
Kim sighs again.
Kim: “Fine…I’ll try.”
Kim looks up, clearly playing up a childish response as
she walks off. Angelica shakes her head as the Breakdown logo comes up on the
screen.
James Evans vs. Katie Steward
The opening of “I Still
Burn" can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera will
pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a positive
reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera remains on
James as he breaks through the curtain. The cheers intensify as James looks out
at the crowd.
Phillips: “The following
contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on
his way to the ring, from New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”
"Don't tell me I don't
need this anymore
Don't tell me I don't feel the same inside
What the hell do I keep fighting for?
'Cause underneath I'm never satisfied"
James slowly makes his way to the ring, as images of him winning various
championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the
ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd.
"Yeah, I'll take the
punishment
I never learn
I never learn
Yeah, I believe in it
I bleed for it
Sacrifice it all for it
My soul still stirs
And I still"
James then steps into the ring
and walks to the center of it, removing his black hoodie, maintaining his
focus.
"I still burn
Even when they think I'm at my end
I get up again
I still burn
Every time the fire floods these veins
Oh, it never fades
I still burn"
James then goes to the
corner and sits on the top turnbuckle, his back to the crowd, as the screen
shows James powerbombing Ace Marshall through the barricade, as well as James
lifting the SCW World title above his head, as his music comes to an end.
Sharper: “James Evans back in
the ring. He was scheduled to face Katie Steward tonight. Katie unable to make
it to Miami and James telling Shaun Cruze to find him opponents.”
Lyman: “Yeah and we always
have local talent that hopes for a break. I don’t know if this is what they
want though.”
James Evans remains on the top
turnbuckle, looking out at the entrance way. He continues to focus on the
stage. Then, some general rock music plays. A few moments pass before we see a
Black man, dressed in black tights with white trim, and a white man, wearing
blue and red walk out. They glance out as we then see another man come out,
this one wearing a lion mask, with gold and black tights.
Phillips: “His opponents, they
are the team of Jackson Franks, Lewis Jones, and El Leon!”
The crowd gives them polite
applause as James Evans just looks down, almost unimpressed. The three men make
their way to the ring and Jackson Franks climbs up onto the apron. He looks in
the ring and steps in as El Leon rolls into the ring. Lewis Jones steps up and
wipes his feet on the apron before remaining them. Michael Constantine walks up
to the three before talking to them and then turning to James. James stretches
his neck a bit.
Sharper: “Well some local
talent from the Florida indy scene.”
Knots: “Evans wanted
opponents. Cruze found him victims.”
Sharper: “Well we are still
thinking of James as he was. The hyper aggressive version. He’s hanging back
and we don’t know too much about what is driving him right now.”
Lyman: “Outside of an interest
in Christy Matthews one way or another.”
The bell sounds as James steps
down. Franks and Jones talk before El Leon runs at James. James catches him and
goes to throw him over the top rope to the floor. El Leon holds on though and
hangs on the top rope. James watches him as El Leon goes to skin the cat, but
James steps up and just boots him in the face. Leon drops down and falls to the
mats. The crowd cheers. James turns back and motions for them to come at him.
Sharper: “Well El Leon was
going to try and catch James off guard.”
Knots: “He just found out he
can’t compete with gravity!”
James Evans then watches as
Jackson Franks runs at him and throws a hard right. James blocks it and nails
him with a hard right and then a kick to the ribs. He steps forward, pushing
him back and fires him off. Franks bounces off and James steps up and
clotheslines him down. Lewis Jones then runs up behind Evans and clubs him in
the back over and over again. Evans turns and Jones nails him with a headbutt.
Evans staggers to the ropes. Jones then whips him across the ring and into the
corner. He runs after Evans, but Evans steps forward, ducking down around
Jones’s around and grabbing him, hitting a snap German suplex. The crowd ohs.
Lewis Jones rolls to the ropes. James Evans turns around and gets up and Franks
nails him with a hard right and then another before scooping him up and
slamming him down. Franks exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope.
Evans stirs and gets up as Franks jumps off, going for a double axe handle
smash, but Evans kicks him in the ribs before double underhooking him and
hitting a double underhook powerbomb.
Sharper: “James Evans caught
Jackson Franks. Just landing too short and James caught him and dropped him!”
Lyman: “And right now, Evans
is showing a controlled aggression. He’s as sharp as we’ve seen him.”
James turns and looks around
before turning and grabbing Franks and just throwing him out of the ring. Evans
looks around as Lewis Jones starts to get up on the apron. James runs at him
and nails him with a running Laces Out and Jones falls back into the barricade.
The crowd ohs. James Evans walks around the ring as El Leon springboards to the
top rope. He dives forward and goes for a crossbody, hitting it, but James
rolls through and to his knees and then gets up before grabbing El Leon and
dropping him down to his feet. He hoists him up for a vertical suplex only to
switch into a hard front suplex, dropping El Leon hard onto the top rope. He
bounces up from the impact and James Evans catches him on his shoulders! The
crowd roars.
Sharper: “My God! The impact
on the ropes caused El Leon to go airborne!”
Lyman: “And James Evans caught
him!”
Sharper: “Caught him and right
into the Middle Finger to the Establishment!”
The crowd roars, several fans
jumping up from the move. Evans goes for the pin.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd roars. James Evans
steps off and gets up.
Phillips: “Here is your
winner, via pinfall, James Evans!”
James Evans looks around as
Lewis Jones winces on the floor. Jackson Franks recovers near the entrance way.
James Evans looks around as Jessica Winters walks over to the ring, having come
out from the back, holding a microphone.
Sharper: “James Evans
impressive here, defeating three individuals.”
Knots: “Yeah, but you know he
was hoping for something else. This was more just to let him unleash!”
Sharper: “Jessica Winters is
heading to the ring. She’s going to try and get some information from James
Evans and why he’s been back here in SCW! Jessica?”
Jessica Winters enters the
ring and walks over to James Evans as he looks around.
Winters: “James, can I get a
word with you?”
James continues to look
around.
Winters: “First off James,
welcome back!”
The crowd cheers.
Winters: “It’s been a few
months and since you’ve been back, you seem on one hand to be picking up where
you left off.”
Winters looks around the ring.
Winters: “But for two weeks,
you’ve seemed to be much more cryptic in your approach. Before, you were
violence personified and frankly, it makes me nervous to stand here. But it
seems you are focusing on Christy Matthews?”
James turns to Winters.
Evans: “You don’t need to be
nervous about standing here with me. I have no issue with you. I have no issue
with Christy either.”
Winters: “So then why does it
seem you’re focused on her?”
Evans turns to her.
Evans: “Because….because maybe
in my time away, I’ve come to appreciate what people have done in the ring.
Maybe I appreciate how she viewed matters with the US Title. And maybe I wanted
to make sure she wasn’t full of shit.”
The crowd roars.
Evans: “Because when Ravyn
Taylor says something – you listen, and only half listen, because it may all be
crap. But with Christy sucked back in, there was a part of me that thought…and
so far, she seems that she has moved on. And if not…I-“
We then turn to the entrance
way as Konrad Raab walks out from the back, dragging his German mace. The crowd
roars. James looks up.
Sharper: “Evans seems to have
some respect for Christy Matthews, but one man who doesn’t is Konrad Raab!”
Knots: “And he’s pissed off
from last week!”
Raab storms to the ring.
Jessica Winters backs up as Raab then rushes down to the ring. He rolls into
the ring and pulls his mace up. James Evans stands his ground.
Raab: “Christy’s mine!”
Raab then turns and swings the
mace. James ducks and turns and tackles Raab back into the corner. Evans rears
back and shoulders him once and then again and again before backing up. Evans
spins around and grabs Raab, but Raab immediately jabs him in the ribs with the
mace. Evans staggers back and Raab steps out and swings, nailing James in the
stomach with the mace. James goes down as the crowd ohs. Raab then walks around
the ring. Jessica Winters can be seen motioning for help as Michael Constantine
goes to get back into the ring. Raab swings at him, causing him to dive back.
Sharper: “Konrad Raab caught
James in the ribs. James went down.”
Lyman: “Attacking him in a
rage after he faced three others!”
Knots: “And he’s not done.
Raab is just getting started!”
Raab turns and looks at James
as he starts to try and pull himself up, holding his ribs. He gets up and Raab
nails him with a hard right for good measure. James drops down. Raab then holds
up the mace before the crowd erupts in cheers as Christy Matthews runs out from
the back, holding a piece of steel piping. She runs down to the ring and slides
in. Raab turns and swings, but Christy gets the steel pipe up and checks the
shot before then kicking him in the ribs. She swings and catches him in the
shoulder. Raab stumbles back to the ropes and then stops. Christy nails him
again and he drops the mace. Raab then looks at her as Christy points the steel
pipe at him, almost like a sword.
Sharper: “Matthews again
stopping Raab from going farther!”
Knots: “Is it to stop Raab or
help James?”
Lyman: “Both is what
happened.”
James starts to get up as Raab
then lunges and Christy jabs him in the ribs. Raab fights through and Christy
nails him again and again in the ribs. Raab then finally goes down, unable to
physically take another shot as his body fails him. He rolls to the floor.
Christy follows him around as he does. Raab gets up and winces before slamming
his hand against the apron in anger. Raab walks around the ring as Christy
follows him.
Sharper: “Raab taking shot
after shot, but then going down.”
Lyman: “You can only take so
much punishment. I don’t care who you are!”
James slowly gets up and
watches him too. Raab then turns and looks in the ring before noticing his mace
is on the other side. He storms around, ignoring his pain and running over and
grabbing it. He looks in the ring, foaming at the moment. Christy and James at
this point lock eyes again briefly before Matthews turns back to Raab. The
scene then slowly fades out.

Adam Allocco is shown
backstage in the trainer’s room with Hiro Tanaka off the corner. We see a
breathalyser on the desk next to the trainer.
Trainer: “You blew clean, but
you know that’s not going to be enough. The blood test-“
Allocco: “We’ve been doing
this for months, doc. I get it. But I think I’m pretty upright for a former
drunk who clearly had no self control as late as early this year.”
Trainer: “I can agree there.
But you also hid the level for a long time before you started to go too far.”
Allocco: “I’m fine….I have
plenty of reasons for not getting back there.”
Allocco turns to Tanaka saying
that.
Tanaka: “We just need to make
sure.”
Allocco: “Yeah, I know-“
Tanaka: “And to that end, I
should let you know.”
Allocco: “What?”
Tanaka sighs.
Tanaka: “There was another
clause in Xander’s trios contract.”
Allocco nods.
Allocco: “Let me guess. I’m
not getting a rematch.”
Tanaka: “Not for a bit. I don’t
know when. Only Cruze, the Board and Xander know.”
Allocco sighs.
Allocco: “Well…guess I’m
cheering for Xander’s opponents then for a while.”
Allocco gets up.
Allocco: “Can I go?”
Trainer: “No reason to stay
here. Your fate is in the vial.”
Allocco: “Then I need to go
for a walk. Hiro, you want to join me?”
Tanaka: “I can for a bit. Have
a job to do.”
Allocco: “Yeah, not like SCW

Allocco heads off with Tanaka
following up as the scene cuts away.
Selena Frost vs. Jenni
Anderson
“MONEY
MONEY
MONEY MAKE HER SMILE…”
The chorus line to Bruno Mars’ “Money Make Her Smile” plays out over the crowd
before the introductory organ plays out, leading into the full song. Jenni
Anderson steps out from the back, confidently striding as she stands before the
booing crowd, clad in her ring gear and a long fur coat. She lowers a pair of
obscenely expensive sunglasses and begins walking to the ring. Once at the foot
of the ring, she stands and instructs the referee to open the ropes for her, which
undoubtedly happens. Climbing onto the apron, she moves through the ropes and
into the ring.
Phillips: “The following match is set for one fall—”
Crowd: “One fall!”
Phillips: “Introducing first, hailing from Atlantic City, fighting out of Reno,
Nevada... she is the QUEENPIN… Jenni Anderson!”
Once in the ring, she lowers the coat down her back, looking out over the crowd
as she removes her sunglasses entirely. She then sheds her entrance attire and
passes them gracefully to the timekeeper - if anything ends up damaged, or one
hair ends up out of place, she has the means to seek recompense for them… a
fact she reminds the handler of her property. She points to the referee
Constantine.
Jenni: “Don’t forget to do your job!”
Sharper: “Jenni telling Michael Constantine to his job. I don’t think I like to
hear that reminder.”
Knots: “Adam, Jenni is simply telling the referee to be competent. That’s all.”
Lyman: “Is it now?”
BELIEVE IT!
The SCW Universe are on their feet as “Kings and Queens” by Ava Max as plays
throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as,
out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of
the SCW Universe.
Phillips: “And her opponent, fighting out of Manhatten, New York. She is the
Snow Queen, the FACE of SCW!!! Ladies and gentlemen, SELENA FROST!”
Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as
she lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm
upward, her back arm lifted behind her to the sky. With a lift of her right
foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to
form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring!
Sharper: “Selena has a lot on her mind, but I still see that she has that
fighting spirit.”
Lyman: “Selena rolls with the punches. Always. That’s how she’s so successful.”
Knots: “A lot is going on with Selena. The loss at Rise to Greatness only to
see her beloved World title end up in the hands of Xander. Ravyn Taylor. And
then Nicole Kinn- Luna, whatever she is calling herself. All of that is hanging
over her head.”
Lyman: “How can you doubt her resolve? She always find a way to end up on top,
nine out of ten times, Jon.”
Lowering her arms, the Winter’s Knight walks down the ramp, her steps leaving
footprints in the “snow” under her feet. Reaching the ring, Selena goes up the
steps and under the ropes to enter it. Once inside and in the center of the
ring, she lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive
snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards
the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm
lifting to the sky once more. But before she could stomp her foot, Jenni
Andersen attacks her from behind. Selena falls forward onto the ropes, and
Jenni begins to press Selena’s throat against the middle rope. Michael
Constantine calls for the bell.
Knots: “Now you can’t tell me that’s not initiative.”
Sharper: “Jenni Anderson being aggressive here tonight. She wanted this match
for quite awhile. Don’t forget she tried to con Deanna into getting a match
against her wife.”
Lyman: “Mike seems to be slow on the rope break count— oh, come on, Mike. She’s
not letting go.”
Finally, after a few long moments after the count four, Micheal steps in and
tugs on Jenni’s shoulder. Jenni lets go and snap her head forward at the
referee. Deanna shouts at Constantine and Anderson while she looks on with
concern. Selena’s face has turned red from the choke, but she pulls herself up
using the ropes. Jenni comes running towards her, but Selena throws her up over
her shoulder. Jenni lands on the apron and drive her elbow into the back of
Selena head. Selena stumbles forward, dropping to her knees, still recovering
from that choke. Jenni steps back into the ring and takes Selena by the head.
She leads her to the corner, where she smashes Selena's face off the
turnbuckle.
Jenni: “Overrated!”
Lyman: “Jenni with the taunt. Bad idea!”
Selena fires back with an elbow to the face. And another one. And then another
one. Jenni staggers, Selena whips her into the opposite corner. Selena comes
flying in with a splash. Jenni stumbles out from the corner. Selena goes
running towards the ropes, but Jenni yanks on the hair. Selena experiences a
brutal whiplash as she hits the mat. Jenni pulls Selena back into a chin lock
in the center of the ring.
Sharper: “Another dirty move from Jenni Anderson. No chastisement or anything
from the referee Constantine.”
Knots: “You’re both too alert. You’re reading too much into things. Jenni
probably tried to grab the shoulder and accidentally caught Selena’s hair
instead.”
Lyman: “Jon, do you need glasses?”
Selena battles to her feet, before swinging elbows into Jenni’s stomach. Selena
manages to slip out, pivoting around behind her opponent. She steps forward for
the russian legsweep, but Jenni counters with an elbow to the throat. Jenni
runs towards the ropes, and rebounds, but Selena tosses her over her shoulder
with the back body drop. Jenni hurries to her feet, but Selena took off in the
meanwhile. Springboard arm drag throws Jenni across the ring. Jenni scrambles
again. She searches for Selena, but Selena comes from behind with a full nelson
bulldog.
Lyman: “An explosion of offense from the Face of SCW. Jenni’s attempt to
suffocate Selena’s arsenal has failed! She’s in trouble.”
Sharper: “Selena has always seemed to have an uncanny recovery time. Let’s see
if Jenni has realized she might have chewed off more than she can handle.”
Jenni starts to climb to her feet while Selena stalks her. Jenni turns, sees
Selena with a roundhouse kick, and bails out with a slide to the outside.
Selena shows some frustration at her opponent’s tactical retreat and begins to
pace in the ring, holding her throat. (1…) Jenni runs her hands into the hair.
(2…) She is shown speaking to herself, trying to hype herself up to enter the
ring. Selena gets sick of waiting and slides out of the ring, but Jenni
immediately enters the ring. Selena hops up onto the apron but Jenni catches
her with an elbow. Stunned Selena holds onto the top rope, Jenni steps to the
outside to do a belly to back suplex onto the floor!
Sharper: “Jenni might have played into Selena’s aggressiveness in this match.”
Lyman: “That choke seems to have made Selena a little angry. She pressed too
much and fell right into Jenni’s trap.”
Knots: “Jenni isn’t no slouch.”
Jenni sits on the apron and claps for herself. She heads into the ring and
orders Michael Constantine to count. He starts: (1…) Selena starts to stir,
holding her back. (2…) Deanna walks over and encourages. (3…) Selena gets to
her hands and knees, shaking her head. Meanwhile, Jenni demands Michael
Constantine to hurry his count. (4..) (5..) Deanna warns Selena that the count
seems to come fast, which the crowd notices too. Boos begin to shower. (6..)
(7..) Selena is on her feet and slides into the ring to break the count. Jenni
is there to stomp down onto her.
Sharper: “I swear that Michael actually listened to Jenni.”
Knots: “You’re all imagining things.”
Lyman: “Seriously, Jon. When was the last time you went to the eye doctor?”
Knots: “Shut up, Simon. I still have a lot of vigor. How about you? Exactly.
You ain’t got none.”
Jenni leads Selena to her feet. Jenni pauses for a second with Selena in the
front facelock. Jenni goes for the swinging neckbeaker, but Selena spins out.
Selena with the boot to the gut. Jenni doubles over for Selena to nail her with
an elbow. That’s when the knife edge chops begin to fire. Slowly, Selena pushes
Jenni back into the corner. Each chop gets a loud woo. Pain is written on
Jenni’s face. Jenni pushes Selena back. She clinches Selena head and deals some
elbows to get some space. She then switches to chops of her own, knocking
Selena back to the center of the ring.
Sharper: “We have a war of attrition now breaking out in the ring. Both
competitors striking each other with those nasty chops.”
Lyman: “Give Jenni some credit, she hanging in there with Selena.”
Knots: “Both are gonna need some ice after this match.”
Jenni ducks underneath a forearm, spins around. She goes for the back suplex,
but Selena rolls through onto her feet. A pele kick greets Jenni when she turns
around. Selena immediately falls on top of Jenni, hooks the leg:
1…
2…
Jenni shoots her shoulder up. She starts to crawl to the ropes and Selena
catches her with a double stomp onto the lower back. Jenni yells but grabs the
bottom ropes. Selena goes to stomp some more but the referee steps in. Selena
begins to have some words. Jenni pulls her to the feet. She pushes past Michael
Constantine, buries her shoulder into Selena, and executes a picture-perfect
Northern Lights suplex with a bridge.
Sharper: “Selena shoulders are pinned!”
1…
2…
Sharper: “Selena kicks out. Jenni taking advantage of Michael Constantine
getting Selena way during that rope break.”
Knots: “First, you complain about him not enforcing the break; now, you two are
criticizing that he is.”
Lyman: “Adam’s just calling it what it is.”
Sharper: “Getting back to the match, Jenni seems to be a little heated herself.
She thought that was it.”
Jenni screams and boots Selena in the head while Selena attempts to stand up.
Selena rolls to her feet, holding her jaw. Jenni yells and goes for the Queen
Pin’s Kiss but Selena steps up and catches her with the Glass Shard instead!
Sharper: “Queenpin’s Kiss- No, Selena nails the Glass Shard! The pin!”
1…
2…
3!
Lyman: “Selena’s tenacity was on display once again. Battling through some
questionable officiating and a very aggressive Jenni Anderson.”
Phillips: “Your winner of the match, by pin fall… SELENA FROST!”
Selena rolls off as she looks
down at Jenni. Jenni wines in pain, rolling over, holding her face. Selena
turns and has her arm raised. She then looks around and nods before the scene
cuts away.
Backstage, we see Savannah
Sunshine standing with Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area. She smiles as
the camera light comes on.
Winters: “Fans, I’m Jessica
Winters here with one of the newest signees in SCW, Savannah Sunshine. You made
your debut, successfully, I might add, last week on Breakdown and-“
Before Savannah can say
anything, we see Calvan Greene walking into view, wearing his fur coat and sunglasses.
Calvan: “Alright…here for my
interview.”
Winters: “Calvan. You’re not up now…or tonight…”
Winters turns to the
cameraman.
Winters: “He on our sheet.”
Calvan: “Great question
Jessica. You see, I just the bestest tanning solution and plus, my abs are just
always like that.”
Savannah nods, seemingly
agreeing.
Calvan: “It’s just the way I
am. Genetics and well, I’m looking forward to kicking CHBK’s ass again and-“
Winters: “Wait, what?”
Calvan: “Yeah. He’s still
around. I was told. And the California Heartbreak Kid can’t have that.”
Savannah: “Oh no. Not at all.
Can’t have two CHBKs. How would be tell them apart?!”
Calvan: “See, she gets it.”
Calvan nods.
Calvan: “That’s all Jessica. See
you next week.”
Calvan heads off. Jessica
looks confused.
Savannah: “He does know there’s
no Breakdown next week.”
Winters: “I’m not sure.”
Savannah: “He seems nice.
Maybe needs some help. But nice.”
Winters: “That’s one way to

Calvan heads off as Winters

Backstage, Gavin Taylor is
talking to Shaun Cruze. Ava St. Claire is with them. They are speaking about
something before St. Claire cuts Cruze off and starts to talk. Gavin then cuts

Sharper: “Shaun Cruze said he would

Datura vs. Alexis Quinne Needs
Holly Adams
SCW Adrenaline Championship
|| Haüs of Nirvana ||
|| Presents ||
|| VIP Member ||
|| Alexis Quinne Needs Holly Adams ||
“One Shining Moment” by Luther Vandross plays as the crowd roars a bit. A few
moments pass before we see Alexis Quinne Needs Holly Adams walking out from the
back with GiGi Aries and Samuel Davis. AQNHA continued down the ramp with the
TV title clutched in her hands. Samuel Davis passed some pamphlets out to the
crowd.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty-minute
time limit and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship. First, the challenger,
accompanied by GiGi Aries and her co-champion Samuel Davis, from the Haüs of
Nirvana, she is….Alexis Quinne Needs Holly Adams! And for all of your life
coaching needs, contact 1-800-HOLLY22 and operators are standing by.”
Phillips turns to Aries as Aries smiles. All three Haus of Nirvana members take
the ring with AQNHA heads straight to the corner. Sam takes the TV title belt
from her, holds it up high into the air, before clutching it for safe keeping.
GiGi says some words, talking to AQNHA while she stands in the corner.
Sharper: “This is getting more
and more brazen. Now including a damn plug in the introduction!”
Knots: “Have to make sure
people know!”
Sharper: “How would anyone not
know and what does the Brand have planned here? They’ve been talking like this
is going to be a coronation. A night where Datura proves herself.”
Lyman: “I wonder how
Clamidiya-“
Knots: “Alexis Quinne Needs
Holly Adams, Simon. Get it right!”
Lyman: “Unbelievable. She’s a
human being. She has a name.”
Knots: “Yes, and it’s-“
Sharper: “Stop it!”
The lights fade down, and the
ramp is cast with a heavy backlight. The acoustic guitar of Royal and the
Serpent’s “Happier in Hell” begins.
“I’m afraid of medication but I think I should be on it.
I keep trying meditation but if I’m being honest
Doing anything that’s good for me makes me want to vomit.
I’m sorry for the mess I made I’ll clean it in the morning.”
From the light, the silhouette of Datura appears on the ramp. Her head is down,
and her arms extend outward, her hands dancing to the rhythm of the music. As
it goes on, Datura trudges down the ramp, basking in the light. She
noticeably is not holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship.
Phillips: “Her opponent, also
representing the Holly Adams Brand, trademarked, from Tampa, Florida-“
The crowd cheers a bit.
Phillips: “She is the SCW
Adrenaline Champion…Datura!”
“I don’t need your help you can keep the
Gary Vees and Ted Talks to yourself.
I’m glad it’s going well but
I’ve been to heaven. It’s happier in Hell.”
When Datura gets close to the ring, she gets a running start and slides
underneath the bottom rope before immediately making her way to the corner. She
climbs up onto the turnbuckle and sits with her back to the ring, screaming the
words of the song to the audience.
"Maybe you're not sad enough. Maybe I should suck it up.
I'm an imposter. I'm a fraud. Most days I'm a devil
Today I'm a god. Maybe you're not sad enough.
Or maybe I should give it up."
As the second verse begins, Datura leans back and places herself in the tree of
woe position, glaring across the ring with her arms crossed over her chest.
After hanging there for several moments, the places her hands down on the mat
and kicks off the turnbuckle. Spinning toward the center of the ring, she
extends her arms outward and throws off her hood. AQNHA just looks at her.
A “Datura!” chant begins. Datura looks out and seems a bit surprised by this.
Sharper: “Datura back in her
home state, but where is the title?”
Lyman: “Where’s Holly?”
Sharper: “Datura getting a
great welcome. She makes her home in Tampa.”
Aries then enters the ring and
walks over to Phillips. Phillips looks confused before he then turns to Steve
Hollinsworth who is in the ring. Aries ushers him out of the ring.
Phillips: “And apparently, the
special guest referee….”

SLAY
IT'S EXPENSIVE TO BE ME-EH-EH-EH!!
LOOKIN' THIS GOOD DON'T COME FOR FREE-EH-EH-EH!!!
The intro from "W Face," by Kumi Koda quickly fades out
as "XXPENSIVE," By Erika Jayne kicks in full force
around the arena as the stage comes into focus. Holly Adams steps up onto the
stage, spinning into place at the top of the ramp, thrusting the SCW Adrenaline
Championship high above her head, behind her a gaggle of men in black shirts
reading, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills crew," holding
TV cameras come running out capturing everything. Holly slides the
Adrenaline Championship onto her shoulder and poses with her hand on her
hip and her other hand high in the air as she pageant waves to the booing
crowd. The camera men start directing Holly who continues to pose at the top of
the ramp. She hands the Adrenaline Championship off to a member of the Camera
Crew, instructing him to carry it for her. We also notice that Holly Adams
is wearing a referee’s shirt with the emblem “Holly Adams Officiating and
Arbitration, trademarked.”
Sharper: “Give me a break. And
she’s holding the damn title like it’s hers!”
Knots: “She is one of the
former great champions!”
Sharper: “Still…this is
supposed to be Datura’s defense and she’s walking out here like she’s
champion.”
Knots: “But she’s dressed like
a zebra! I think it’s clear. She’s just taken hold of the title early to
establish a neutral combat zone for these two.”
Phillips: “From Beverly Hills,
California, she is Holly Adams!”
Holly starts her walk down to the ring, continuing her pageant wave, with
a large smile on her face as the crowd continues to jeer, the camera men
following closely behind her. She stops halfway down the ramp and puts both
hands on her chest thanking a fan for their "adoration," for
her. She smiles before continuing down the ramp. She walks to the other
side of the ramp, pretending to put her hands out to high five and immediately
pulls them away and goes back to pageant waving. Some men from the camera crew
can be heard shouting to each other over the music that they'll edit that into
a high five in post.
As she comes around the corner, she hops up onto the ring apron. Holly
starts to sing along with her theme song, looking directly into the camera
closest to her. She gives a million-dollar smile before putting her hand
on the camera and pushing it away and she gets into the ring. The Housewives'
crew follow behind her from around the ring and start getting various shots of
her from every angle. Holly leans through the ropes as the member of the crew
who was carrying the title for her hurries over and hands the Adrenaline
Championship to an impatient looking Holly, who then immediately goes back
to smiling as soon as she realizes there is a camera on her.
Holly then grabs the top rope, bends down, and then snaps back quickly,
flipping her blonde hair over her head, smiling brightly for the cameras, again
thrusting the Adrenaline Championship above her head. Datura turns away
briefly. GiGi then walks over and instructs her to watch Holly. As Holly takes
her place in the ring, she starts her pageant wave once again, sliding the
Adrenaline Championship onto her shoulder, as her music dies down, the
Housewives Crew taking their place in Holly's corner ready to capture
everything. Holly then turns and walks over to AQNHA and talks to her. Datura
just watches Holly.
Sharper: “Holly just has the
title over her shoulder.”
Knots: “Safe keeping.”
Lyman: “She should be handing
it off. She’s the official, apparently. Is this legit?”
Knots: “Of course it is. Holly
is diversifying her portfolio! And both are Brand clients! They had to have
signed off on this!”
Holly finishes talking to
AQNHA as Davis continues to clutch his TV Title. Holly then turns and walks
over to GiGi.
Holly: “She on board?
Understand what she needs to do?”
Datura: “I-“
GiGi: “Of course.”
GiGi then turns back, cutting
Datura off. Holly then nods and turns to the middle of the ring. She slides the
title off and looks at it briefly before then hoisting it over her head. The
crowd roars a bit as the SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the
screen. Holly then turns and places the title around her waist. The crowd boos.
Lyman: “Oh she’s going to
officiate with it on!”
Knots: “Motivation! We put it
to the side. Someone can then get it and use it as a weapon! Now, they have to
rip it from Holly’s hands and at the same time, you see the title you’re
fighting for. Brilliant!”
Holly then calls for the bell.
It initially doesn’t ring. Holly storms over. She snaps at the timekeeper. The
timekeeper turns to Holly. Holly then motions for the bell again and the bell
sounds. The crowd roars. Datura steps out, although all of the confidence from
her entrance is gone. GiGi exits the ring, remaining on the apron. AQNHA steps
forward and looks at Datura. Holly turns to Datura and says something to her.
Datura looks down as then AQNHA steps up and before Datura can react, snapmares
her down. The crowd boos. Datura rolls over and Holly then stands over her.
AQNHA grabs Datura and forces her down to the mat. She, however, looks at Holly
a bit before then Datura shoves her back. Datura rolls over as AQNHA slides
back. Holly looks down, bringing her hand to her face.
Sharper: “Clamidiya took down
Datura. She then hesitated and Datura pulls away and Holly’s not happy.”
Lyman: “What’s going on here?
What’s the plan? And GiGi is on the apron.”
Knots: “Watching closely!”
Holly then walks over to
Datura.
Holly: “Seriously? This is
more important. You NEED this lesson. To know you can get past it. This isn’t
like working at Starbuck when you screw up my mocha chocolate hazelnut latte
and move on because you hate people!”
Datura turns to AQNHA.
Datura: “So you want me to lie
down?”
Holly: “Yes! For the good of
everyone here. It’s an important lesson!”
Datura: “But…”
Holly: “No buts!”
Holly then turns to AQNHA as
GiGi enters the ring and Datura turns to him. GiGi whispers in her ear as
Datura turns and walks over to the ropes. She leans on them and sighs before
turning and we can see her mouthing “okay, okay” to her multiple times. Datura
then steps up as AQNHA runs at her and nails her with a clothesline. The shot
jars Datura who wasn’t expecting it. The crowd boos.
Sharper: “What a shot!”
Lyman: “Clearly Clamidiya is
part of it-“
Knots: “Alexis Quinne Needs
Holly Adams!”
AQNHA then turns and hooks the
leg. Holly drops down to count.
1!
2!
Datura kicks out. Holly turns and
clearly shows frustration. She then turns as AQNHA goes to follow up, but Holly
stops her. AQNHA backs up to the corner. Datura rolls over and Holly walks over
to her and gets in her face.
Holly: “What is wrong with
you?! Don’t you want to get over your issues. The fact that you’re a loser or
screw up everything. Well you’re screwing up this!”
Datura turns away, clearly
biting her tongue and avoiding responding.
Holly: “You know what to do.
You need to do it! GO!”
Holly turns back to AQNHA as talks
to her before pointing. Datura looks out as the “Datura!” chants grow. GiGi
watches him as AQNHA then runs across the ring, and suddenly, Datura catches
her and hits a Lady Death into the corner. The crowd erupts in cheers as AQNHA
rolls over and Datura rolls over and turns as Holly calls for the bell. The
bell sounds with GiGi’s urging.
Sharper: “Datura takes
Clamidiya over and into the corner! Lady Death!”
Lyman: “This crowd loved it,
but Holly didn’t!”
Knots: “What is wrong with
Datura? Does she like being a failure?!”
Datura turns and looks at
Holly as Holly steps out of the ring. She then shakes her head before talking
to Phillips. Phillips looks a bit incredulous before then announcing.
Phillips: “Fans, Holly Adams
has disqualified Datura for failing to complete the Holly Adams Transformation
Project, Trademarked, and thus, your winner – Alexis Quinne Needs Holly Adams!”
Holly smiles as she then turns
back as Datura gets up, clearly a bit frustrated.
Sharper: “Give me a break!”
Lyman: “And Holly still has
the title! Datura’s still the champ!
GiGi immediately walks over to
her and starts to talk her. Holly however keeps the Adrenaline Championship
around her waist. She then walks over to Alexis Quinne Needs Holly Adams.
Datura sighs as Holly walks around the ring, proudly looking down at the
Adrenaline Championship around her waist as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown returns as we see
Holly Adams walking into her locker room, still with the SCW Adrenaline
Championship around her waist. She steps forward as Alexis Quinne Needs Holly
Adams walks in after, followed by Samuel Davis, clutching the TV Title.
Following them both is GiGi Aries and Datura. Holly turns to them.
Holly: “Do you want any of
this?”
Datura: “I’d like that. It is
mine. I earned it-“
Holly: “No, you haven’t. You
were handed it because GiGi here helped you. He made sure you were ready to
finally hold the title.”
Datura: “I do-“
Holly: “I’m talking. GiGi has
been saint putting up with you. I knew it was a problem bringing you in as the
chance of failure was high. I mean, you are you! But….Cidnay before his
mental break saw something in you and GiGi sees something in you and so I’m
going to try and help, but I can only help those who help themselves. You’re a
loser! A big loser! And tonight, we could’ve moved past it-“
Datura: “By having me take a
fall.”
Holly: “And maybe you’d be a
bit less afraid of the world coming to an end. We’ll never know. But GiGi will
work with you more.”
Aries: “I have a wonderful
program to offer to try and help you get over this hump.”
Datura: “Hump?”
Holly: “And until then, I’ll
keep this right here. Give you something to motivate you. Since being better
isn’t enough. But either way, got to remind Alexis Quinne of her failings more
too. You like that right-”
Datura: “That’s not why I
pinned her. But-“
Aries: “Come on. You’re
getting negative. We need only positive vibes in here.”
Datura looks at Holly before
GiGi leads her out.

Selena: “Glory! I didn’t

Braddock: “I figured it’d worth

Selena: “True. I’ll admit I
figured you’d be taking care of things yourself and so I didn’t want to

Braddock waves her hand,
saying no bother.
Braddock: “Oh that’s still the

Selena thinks for a moment.
Braddock: “And I’m not talking
Josh.”
Selena: “Nicole. I know she’s
here. I’ve been checking in with security.”
Braddock: “And I don’t want
Ravyn to use that to her advantage. You saw how she was last week. You were in
the ring. And you saw it coming.”
Selena: “Hard to miss. But I
get it. You want Ravyn one on one.”
Braddock: “And you care about
integrity. Let’s expand it to every match. Let me dispatch Ravyn. You can
finish her off at Apocalypse or whenever Shaun books you to face her. And just
keep Nicole out of our hair.”
Selena: “Nicole needs help.
And she needs to somehow no longer be manipulated by Ravyn. I’ll admit, Luna
scares me. She’s…unlike anything I’ve seen, but for you, given everything we’ve
done. Why not.”
Braddock: “Thank you. I appreciate
it. I don’t know if I should say see you out there or hope I don’t.”
Selena: “Same.”
Braddock turns and heads off
as the scene cuts to the arena.
Cameras cut to the stage as we
see Alexis Quinne walking out from the back with Bree Lancaster. The crowd
roars seeing both of them. Neither have their music play as Bree takes a drink
of water from a water bottle. Alexis Quinne focuses on the ring as Bree
Lancaster walks down with her.
Sharper: “Looks like we’re
going to be joined by two former World Championship. Alexis Quinne and Bree
Lancaster coming down.”
Knots: “What are they going to
spew? Come on. What lies are they going to tell about Holly?”
Lyman: “More intrigued by why
they’re coming down to the ring. I’m sure they saw what happened with Datura
earlier.”
Bree Lancaster walks around
the ring with Alexis Quinne a few strides behind here. They both head over to
Jason Phillips. Bree asks for a microphone. She’s handed one and hands it to
Alexis Quinne. Quinne walks up the steel steps and into the ring. Bree then
gets a second microphone from Phillips. Quinne walks around the ring as Bree
walks up the steps and enters the ring.
Quinne: “Alright! Alright.
We’ve seen enough.”
The crowd roars.
Quinne: “You and I, Bree, may
not be breaking bread on the regular, but we’re not going to stand by and watch
this keep spiralling when we all know what happening.”
Knots: “I told you!”
Lancaster: “I don’t know what
goofy program you’ve come up with Giovanni. I don’t know what you’re trying to
teach Datura, but what I saw earlier tonight was a group of megalomaniacs
humiliate a friend because she wanted to compete!”
Quinne: “They’ve been doing
this for a while. Bree…you and I know…Liz can get down on herself but she’s as
talented as they come and I get she and I aren’t really eye to eye. I know you
pinned me on purpose. I know that. It stung. I got it. And I hope sometime we
can go. But I aint here because I need Holly Adams’s help. I’m here because I’m
watching one of the people I know can rip it in this ring being wasted by this
crap that they’re so-called selling.”
Lancaster walks around the
ring as the crowd cheers a bit.
Lancaster: “And so, since you
want to send you petty insults. You want to call me Puttyface. You want to show
your jealousy with your trash TV show and your infomercials and product that is
better for insomniacs who can’t buy adult television at 3 a.m. in the
morning…well, I just want to call you by what we know you are… a fraud. And
I’ll be damned if I’m going to watch you take my friend out of her money because
she’s had some mental health issues. I am not going to let you manipulate her.”
Quinne: “And neither am I.”
The crowd cheers.
Lancaster: “Now I don’t know
if people know, but if you haven’t put two and two together, well…I haven’t
been hanging out backstage because I missed coming into this ring and
competing. I’ve been backstage getting cleared to return and guess what…I’m
good to go for Apocalypse! Now…I’m happy to introduce you to the Bree Lancaster
Let’s just see who’s best in the ring program and it’s free of charge!”
Quinne: “And I got my own
program too, just need some willing participants-“
We then cut to the big screen
as we see Datura backstage. GiGi Aries stands next to her.
Datura: “Hold it-“
Datura turns to GiGi.
Datura: “You want me to prove
myself and learn. I think I have this. After tonight, I get that I’ve been
wrong about my approach. I need to get out of my own way.”
GiGi nods.
GiGi: “I guess that’s
accurate. It’s your biggest problem, but will take time to help you get through
it-“
Bree: “More money, sounds
like-“
Datura holds her hand up,
clearly having heard this as a monitor must be nearby.
GiGi: “You’re going to rush
into something.”
Datura: “I think I’ve learned
what’s missing though. I need a mentor in the ring!”
GiGi: “You did learn well.
Adrenaline Champion. But you’ve started to fall off-“
Datura then turns to the
camera, cutting off GiGi.
Datura: “Perfect. Since I’m
not getting it – Holly, how about you show me straight up in the ring. Wear the
title. Motivate me. Prove I’m doing the right thing…prove my friends wrong…or
maybe prove them right. Because I think I need a sign!”
GiGi just closes his eyes as
Datura walks off. We cut back to the ring.
Bree: “I think we can get down
for that.”
Quinne: “Another shot at
Holly? Maybe I can show her she needs me! That would be cool.”
Bree: “Well then Shaun
Cruze…wherever you are…sign it. Datura and Holly against Alexis and I at
Apocalypse and we’ll send some message. One way or another!”
Bree turns and steps back as
“Calm Like a Bomb” plays. Bree turns and hands the microphone back as Quinne
turns and does the same.
Sharper: “Bree Lancaster
returning to the ring at Apocalypse, and teaming with Alexis Quinne to face
Datura and Holly Adams!”
Knots: “Datura may be getting
it. I’d like more cooperation, but Holly will prove she on the right
wavelength. Cruze! Sign it!”
Sharper: “Shaun will have to
figure that out. But another huge match for Apocalypse signed. But I hope Bree
and Alexis haven’t pushed too much here. Holly is as crafty as they come and
clearly Datura has some pride. She didn’t take a fall earlier.”
Knots: “She better not at
Apocalypse!”
Bree and Alexis turn and exits
the ring and they head around it. They then start to head to the back.
Sharper: “Now let’s go
backstage where Jaina Lancaster is with Aaron Rupp.”
Backstage, Jaina Lancaster
stands with Aaron Rupp in the SCW interview area. The crowd cheers seeing him.
Jaina: “Thank you Adam. Aaron,
welcome back again. I know this is a bit surreal, but you will be getting back
into an SCW ring at Apocalypse. You will face Ricky James. Shaun Cruze has
agreed to end the suspension provided Ricky James shows up and faces you in a
one on one match. I bet you can’t wait.”
Rupp: “I can’t. Beyond the
butterflies of getting back into an SCW ring, this time…I have a righteousness
that needs to be done. When Ricky James assaulted Lucy out of frustration, he
went too far. I don’t know how reasons. I don’t really care. All I saw was the
scum of the earth. And given that Rudy Powell is representing him. I may not be
an active competitor, but I am aware of what he was doing and saying. And all
that tells me is that Ricky James is just lower and lower than I could’ve ever
thought him to be. But that’s fine. He has to show up at Apocalypse and I have
one plan…that plan is to give him the fight of his life and take him down and
knock him down a few pegs and remind him there are lines you do NOT cross.”
Rupp looks at the camera.
Rupp: “And if that’s the last
thing I do in an SCW ring…that’s a legacy worth fighting for!”
The crowd cheers as Aaron Rupp
looks at the camera and the scene fades to black.

"Lexy Chapel Proudly Presents"
"AUTUMN VALENTINE"
“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless hits the PA system as Autumn Valentine
walks out onto the stage wearing a black jacket. Across her ring-gear we see
the ‘Lexy Chapel Presents’ and ‘Chapel Show’ branding. She pauses on the stage
for a moment before glancing back and smirking before then heading to the ring.
Sharper: “Autumn Valentine coming
out and I think she’s out here alone.”
Lyman: “After the chaos we
just saw with Bear and Penguin, Lexy may be putting out other fires!”
Sharper: “And Autumn Valentine
may have her own message.”
Autumn walks to the ring. She then steps up the steel steps. She then walks
along them and into the ring. She turns and walks across and goes over to the
corner. She grabs a microphone waiting for her and turns back. She looks around
as she turns to the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers her as her music fades
out. Autumn looks around and then starts to speak.
Autumn: “Look, I’m not going
to stand out here and spew conspiracies. Lexy will do plenty of that she’s got
a lot of ammo. Trust me, you don’t know the half of it. But right now, she’s
dealing with a manic depressive bear and a penguin with imposter syndrome so I
think I can make this a bit more direct.”
Autumn walks around the ring.
Autumn: “I’m standing here,
not exactly the happiest. I went into Rise to Greatness the Adrenaline
Champion. I didn’t walk out and I gave it what I could, but I’m not going to
lie when some oil dripping asshole comes and blinds me at Fanfest, making it so
it took me two weeks to get my damn eyesight back…I can’t help but be a bit
frustrated. And while Lexy is onward and upward as we fight against the conspiracy
that seems to be keeping us down, and looking to get me a shot at the US title,
I’ll admit, I wanted revenge.”
Autumn turns and looks at the cameraman
on the apron and walks over to it.
Autumn: “Hi Sarah…”
Autumn smirks.
Autumn: “You and I have had a
few run-ins since Rise to Greatness and while I used to say I had Zero Effs,
the fact is that I’m not happy with the moment at Rise to Greatness being derailed
by your precious attempt for revenge. And so, well, I wanted revenge and I
think we’ve gotten ourselves into a bit of a feedback loop. Because well, I think
you may want to get your hands on me when I ruined your hope for revenge
against Kim and well…I have big plans thanks to Lexy. And I don’t think Lexy wants
them ruined anymore.”
Autumn then steps off and
walks around the ring and looks out at the crowd.
Autumn: “So where the hell are
you Sarah? Where are you lurking? I know you like to come from the crowd. I
know you like to appear as part of the masses and come to ringside over the
barricade. I know you’ve got to want to get your hands on me and let’s find our
way to end this derailment of both of what we want!”
Autumn looks around.
Autumn: “I mean I could also
call Kim out here and tell her to say hi, but I think she’s busy pining over
her lost title too. So sorry, Sarah, you’ve got to deal with me!”
Autumn keeps scanning the
crowd.
Autumn: “So where the hell are
you? I know you like a fight!”
Autumn looks around before the
lights go out, except for a single spotlight at the top of the stage. The
opening chords to “Patient Number 9” by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play. A
haunting voice is heard…
"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"
The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on
and instead of Kimberly Williams, we see Angelica Jones standing on the stage, microphone
in her hand. The crowd roars seeing her as Angelica Jones looks at the ring.
Autumn turns and looks at the entrance.
Sharper: “That’s not Sarah Wolf,
nor is that Kim Williams. That’s Angelica Jones who has been representing Kim
Williams.”
Knots: “So what the hell is she
out here? To goad Sarah Wolf? Now even doing that for her!”
Autumn turns to the ropes.
Autumn: “With all due respect,
Angelica, I don’t need you out here-“
Angelica: “You may want to
listen to me. I’ll admit though Kim’s music was my way of having some fun. Make
sure Sarah is listening if she wants nothing more to do with you. I don’t know.
I don’t care. Because just like you, I want to see Sarah Wolf move on. Kim
wants to move on. And she wants a Underground Championship match.”
Autumn: “How wonderful
Angelica. I’m not Shaun Cruze or Deanna Frost-“
Angelica: “I’ve already talked
to the former and that’s why I’m out here.”
The crowd roars.
Angelica: “Just so happens
that Shaun has another title shot to worry about and I told him I’d help get
the word out.”
Sharper “Another title shot…did
she get Kim what she wants?”
Knots: “So she gets rewarded
for her chaos screwing her over?!”
Lyman: “No one cares about the
Underground Division more than her, Jon.”
Knots: “I don’t care!”
Autumn: “What the hell does it
involve me for?”
Angelica: “You want to get past
all this. I’ve got the ticket. Shaun wasn’t willing to give Kim a one on one
shot. But he does realize that this isn’t going to be an easy solution given
how personal everything has become for so many. And so…I pitched something else
and Shaun went for it.”
Angelica shrugs.
Angelica: “Because at
Apocalypse, you, Wolf, Kim, Deanna, The One…Five people, Underground Rules…Underground
Title on the line.”
The crowd roars.
Angelica: “Bring your
conspiracy. Kim’s taking her title. And if you can take out Wolf for her, I’d
be forever grateful. In return…here’s a title shot!”
Angelica steps back as “All
The Things She Said” by T.A.T.U. now plays throughout the arena. Autumn just looks
at the stage and turns back. She looks out.
Sharper: “Five way for the
Underground Title! Does Deanna know?”
Knots: “Is it legit?”
Sharper: “What benefit would Angelica
have to lie here? She’s not Ravyn!”
Knots: “Autumn doesn’t seem to
know what to think.”
Lyman: “She lost the
Adrenaline. Lexy wants her to be in US title contention. And instead, she’s in
the Underground Championship match at Apocalypse!”
Sharper: “She wanted Wolf. This
is her opportunity!”
Lyman: “And it’s Wolf’s for
revenge. Kim for the title. Deanna to prove herself. And the One…we saw her
earlier. She had her eyes on Deanna too. And it’s all coming together!”
Autumn turns back, shaking her
head as she then starts to nod before tossing the microphone aside. She then drops
down to the floor before we cut to a part of the crowd where Sarah Wolf is
watching in one of the breezeways. She just looks in the ring before a small
smile appears on her face.
Sharper: “Wolf was here!”
Knots: “And she’s getting what
she wants…at Apocalypse!”
Autumn starts to walk around

too.”
The crowd cheers.
Winters: “Two huge matches for
Apocalypse, but not all we were wondering about. The World Title?”
Cruze: “Of course. I talked to
Gavin Taylor and while I felt Gavin should get his opportunities first, we
spoke at length earlier tonight. Him, his agent, and I. And at the end, I can
tell you that he agreed to allow Syren to have her opportunity first. Why? He
told me that he respected her too much and knew how big this match was for
them, something he recognized first hand while teaming with Xander. And so I
can tell you this, that Xander Valentine will be defending the SCW World
Championship against Syren at Apocalypse.”
The crowd roars.
Sharper: “Oh boy! Huge match!”
Cruze: “And Gavin Taylor…he
will be busy as well. He’s asked to face the former champion, wanting to face
him at his most dangerous to keep himself sharp.”
The crowd cheers some more.
Winters: “I think that will be

Cruze: “I think they all will
be. Now, we will be announcing more after the show goes off the air. Until

Owen Lee vs. Samuel Davis
|| Haüs of Nirvana ||
|| Presents ||
|| VIP Member ||
|| Samuel Davis ||
“One Shining Moment” by Luther Vandross plays as the crowd roars a bit. A few
moments pass before we see Samuel Davis walking out from the back with AQNHA and
GiGi Aries. AQNHA holds the SCW Television Championship this time. Davis looks
a bit nervous as GiGi begins to whisper something to Samuel who nods rapidly.
GiGi Aries then proceeds to lead Samuel through a breathing exercise as they
take a deep breath and slowly exhale a couple times.
Phillips: “The following
contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First,
from the Haüs of Nirvana, accompanied by Alexis Quinne Needs Holly Adams and
GiGi Aries…he is Samuel Davis!”
GiGi Aries checks on him as
Samuel gives the ok to GiGi that he is good. They proceed toward the ring as AQNHA
hands out Haüs of Nirvana pamphlets to ringside fans. Samuel begins to get in
the music as he runs around the ringside slapping hands of no one. He makes a
lap before he climbs into the ring as GiGi joins him while AQNHA continues
handing pamphlets out. GiGi pulls out some sage and begins to sage Samuel who
chokes on the sage and has a coughing fit.
Sharper: “GiGi acting as if everything is normal here but earlier tonight, a
huge match challenge made and we can tell you, it’s now signed. Holly Adams and
Datura will team to face Bree Lancaster and Alexis Quinne at Apocalypse.”
Lyman: “Going to have to show
Datura in the ring what she means.”
Knots: “That could’ve just
been asked for. Holly is a great sparrer. But no, Datura had to be her usual
bombastic self and just show she’s not learned a damn thing.”
The opening rifts to ‘Here we
Go’ by Chris Classic blasts through the PA, as mist fills the entranceway. The
music stops, a huge explosion rocks the entranceway and Owen Cruze jumps,
seemingly through the floor and landing on his feet, dropping to one knee and
punching the floor
“I been more than ready
Preppin' heavy
For this day to come”
Owen gets to his feet, and looks left and right at the reaction he is getting,
a look of focus and determination on his face as he takes in the crowd.
Phillips: “And his opponent,
from Miami, Florida, he is Owen Cruze!”
“And so now nothing can stop me
I just grind and work
Yeah yeah, you know the motto
You know we goin' hard cause we might never see tomorrow”
He begins the walk down to the ring, slapping the hand of anyone who offers, before
sliding in and under the bottom rope, before standing in the middle of the ring
his arms outstretched.
“I keep my eye on the fakes and got real from it
Mastered patience and free will from it
That's the real motivation some people kill for it
I keep reachin' for greatness because I'm built from it”
Owen points to the turnbuckle and then runs towards it, bouncing on the middle
ropes and back flipping backwards, landing on both feet.
“Here we go
Give it a 100 never nothin' less
Here we go
We comin', you already know the rest
Here we go
We never settle 'cause we know it best
Who wanna test? Who?
Leave you outta breath”
Owen pulls on the top rope a couple of time, applauding the fans as his music
fades.
Sharper: “And yes, you heard
that right. It’s Owen Cruze. Back to his family name.”
Lyman: “And back to what made
him. Clearly he’s been doing some soul searching. He now calls Miami home and
is back in the ring tonight.”
Knots: “Yeah and maybe he’ll learn
a thing or two about coming back from a hard loss from Samuel Davis who has
become a hell of a talent under GiGi’s tutelage!”
The bell sounds as Owen looks
at Samuel. The two circle the ring and then Owen and Samuel lock up in the
middle. They push back on one another before Owen turns into a side headlock. He
pulls back before turning and grabbing the arm of Samuel. He spins through and
wrenches the arm. Samuel winces. Owen wrenches it again. A loud “Owen!” chant
breaks out as Owen looks around. Samuel then flips forward before rolling back
and then yelling out as he just rewrenches himself. Davis shows some
frustration before Owen lifts his arm up and hits a shoot kick to the chest. He
then spins through and hits a hip toss. Samuel rolls over and moves to the
ropes. Owen steps forward, but GiGi walks over to the ropes.
Sharper: “Owen taking down
Davis and GiGi walking over.”
Lyman: “Long history there.”
Sharper: “GiGi seems to be
saying something to Owen, ignoring Davis at the moment.”
Davis rolls over as Owen turns
and grabs him and forearms him in the jaw. He nails him again and whips him across
the ring. Davis bounces off and Owen jumps up and hits a leg lariat. Davis hits
the mat and turns but Owen forces him back down for the pin.
1!
2!
Davis kicks out. Davis turns
and starts to get up. Owen follows up and chops him. The crowd woos. Davis
falls back. Owen chops him again. Davis falls to the ropes. Owen grabs him and whips
him across. Davis bounces off and Owen goes for a back drop, but Davis spins
through and lands behind Owen. He then just blasts Owen in the back of the
head. Owen steps forward. Davis steps up and then jumps up and dropkicks him in
the back of the head. Owen falls forward and through the ropes to the floor.
Sharper: “Davis with a hell of
a dropkick. Owen back to the floor!”
Lyman: “And look at GiGi!”

him. Jump off the top! Throw your forty year old frame onto the kid!”

Knots: “Davis needs to get his
confidence in order. Just go on Owen. Owen will fold like a cheap suit!”

up. (2) He snap at GiGi before turning back and grabbing Davis. (3) He lifts

rough here. Just throwing Owen back hard.”
Lyman :”Had a fistful of hair.”
Knots: “Trying to help him.
Davis is going to give Owen and old-fashioned haircut!”
Davis then kicks him in the
ribs once and then again before hoisting Owen up and placing him on the top
rope. The crowd looks on and books as Davis nails him with a hard right. He
then climbs up to the middle rope and grabs Owen. He hooks him up by the head
and looks around before smiling. He hooks him up, but Owen nails him in the ribs
with a shot and then another one and another before shoving him back. Davis
hits the mat and rolls through. Owen stands up and looks at him before diving
off and hitting the Cruze Missile! The crowd roars.
Sharper: “Off the top rope! In
Memoriam!”
Lyman: “Or are we going to
call it by its former name again now that Owen is Owen Cruze again – the Cruze
Missile!”
Davis rolls over and stirs as
Owen gets up and looks around before running into the ropes. Davis bends over
as Owen jumps up and hits the Redemption!

sounds. Owen rolls off.

winner, via pinfall, Owen Cruze!”
Owen gets up and steps forward
as the crowd cheers. He looks at GiGi briefly before turning and having his arm
raised.
Sharper: “Owen Cruze with a
statement. Even looking at GiGi briefly.”
Lyman: “GiGi maybe was trying
to convince him to come to the Haus.”
Sharper: “Like that is going to
happen.”
Knots: “But maybe Samuel needs
some more teaching!”
Owen Cruze plays to the crowd
some more as Davis rolls over, holding his face in pain. GiGi and AQNHA heads
over to Davis, helping him out of the ring. Cruze walks around the ring, his
music playing as the scene cuts away.
“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire
plays in the background as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A shot of
Ravyn Taylor vs. Glory Braddock follows.
Sharper: “And folks, it’s main
event time. Selena Frost will be watching to try and keep Nicole Kinneck out of
this. Ravyn Taylor has been eerily quiet while Glory Braddock is confident.
What will happen when Braddock and Taylor clash, next!”
The scene fades to black.
COMMERCIALS
Ravyn Taylor vs. Glory
Braddock
The first chords of
"Immortal" by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play over the PA system...
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is for TV time
remaining. First, on her way to the ring, from London, England by way of Miami,
Florida!
The crowd roars.
Phillips “…she is The British
Bombshell, Glory Braddock!”
Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of
purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a
million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment
before making her way down the entrance ramp.
I come alive at the second of midnight
So I can fly when the world is asleep
You scream and howl as I'm taking the first bite
Blood on my tongue tastes of eternity
People will come and go
Some stories never told
They bury me down below
But I'll never die
'Cause I'm immortal
Yes, immortal
The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron.
She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before
stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Once in the ring Glory
heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down
slowly...
Sharper: “Glory Braddock will
face the US Champion, Josh Hudson, at Apocalypse, challenging him for the
title. We’ve already see her show some more attitude tonight. This is going to
be an interesting match.”
Lyman: “That’s putting it
mildly.”
Knots: “A lot of people
watching this and they don’t get along, so this could be a chaotic one if
things break down. We could also see two cerebral people just trading strategy!”
Sharper: “The question is
going to be though – what’s Nicole Kinneck going to do if she’s here, if she
catches went of Ravyn, if she noticed this match is going on.”
The camera cuts to the crowd
where we see a group of red-shirted security walking in through one of the
ground-level entrances. They line up in front of the fans for a moment and seem
to be holding them back. Then the lights go out leaving the arena in complete
darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural
address.
“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to
fear is—”
There’s a record scratch before a deep voice fills the arena.
“INFAMOUS!”
The opening of “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes hits the PA system.
“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”
The song gets stuck on the word and is then interrupted by the deep sound of
the voice of Marilyn Manson.
“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”
“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as we cut to the backstage. We
see Ravyn Taylor walking the corridors, accompanied by Alexander Crowe. Ravyn
has her ring-gear on, and most notably her ring jacket. We can hear the boos
from the live crowd as we follow the trio walking backstage. We then cut to the
shot of the doorway again where we see Ravyn Taylor walk through. She pauses, a
smirk on her face for a moment, before beginning to walk to the ring.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
DARK FANTASY
We follow the group as they make their way down toward ringside, with security
keeping fans back in the aisles. Ravyn doesn’t seem at all distracted by the
noise and movement of people around her however, keeping her eyes focused on
the ring. She gets to the barricade and pauses. Alexander Crowe grabs her by
the arms and lift her up and over. She jumps down the other side and smirks
again as she starts to walk toward the ring.
Phillips: “Her opponent, representing Infamous and being accompanied by
Alexander Crowe, hailing from Hell, Michigan, she is a Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn
Taylor!”
Ravyn steps up the ring steps, pausing for a moment before encouraging Jason
Phillips to walk over toward her. She points to the ropes, telling him to sit
on the middle rope to lower it for her. He hesitates before doing exactly that,
and she responds by vaulting over the top rope and just smirking at him. She
then casually removes her jacket, tossing it into the corner before climbing
the turnbuckles on the left camera side and looking out toward the camera. At
this point, we notice targets designed across the back of her tights.
Sharper: “Still no CHBK – the
notable consequence of Rise to Greatness, having his eye injured by Luna, and
as a result, Ravyn and Crowe have been more involved in their plans.”
Lyman: “Yeah, but remember
last week – she had someone dress as her to compete. We can tell that’s Ravyn.
And so is Nicole here? We know Selena is! Is Nicole?”
Knots: “And if she is…I’m
getting ready to go!”
Sharper: “She’s certainly goading
them. Even a target on her.”
Glory Braddock chuckles a bit.
Ravyn looks at her as the bell sounds. Ravyn steps out and Glory does too. The
two circle the ring and then lock up in the middle of the ring. Glory drops
down and sweeps behind her. She then hoists Ravyn up and hits a Greco-Roman
takedown. She spins through into a front face lock. Ravyn rolls to her back.
Glory turns and grabs the arm and Ravyn somersaults back and to her feet. Glory
grabs the arm and both get up. Ravyn turns and pulls Glory over, cradling her head
and throwing her down. Glory rolls through. Both get up and Glory runs at
Ravyn. Ravyn sidesteps and sends Glory into the ropes. She bounces off the ropes
and Ravyn hits an arm drag. Glory rolls through and gets up and Ravyn forearms
her in the jaw. She spins her into the corner. Ravyn follows up and kicks her
in the ribs. She rears back and goes for a hard right, but Glory ducks and
spins around. Ravyn ends up in the corner. Glory then shoulders her once and steps
back and pulls her out of the corner and goes to whip her across, only to pull
her into a hip toss.
Sharper: “Back and forth. And
two technical wrestlers going at it. Ravyn we know can go hold for hold with many.
She just elects only to show it when pushed.”
Lyman: “And Glory is forcing
her to react in that way!”
Ravyn gets up and Glory turns
and kicks her in the ribs. She scoops her up and slams her down. Ravyn hits the
mat. Glory turns and hits an elbow drop. She goes for the lateral press.

Ravyn then hits a mat slam. Glory rolls over, holding her back of her head. She
starts to get up and Ravyn grabs her and elbows her in the back of the head.
She nails her again. Ravyn then hits a Russian leg sweep and floats over into a
pin.

Glory pushes her off. Ravyn
turns and rakes her eyes for good measure. The crowd boos as Glory rolls over.
Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor just
goes for the eyes. Has control, but takes the cheap shot.”
Knots: “Why not? She’s down.”
Sharper: “You’re now
pro-Ravyn?”
Knots: “I’m pro-people who
understand how to win a match! However that comes!”
Glory starts to get up and
Ravyn grabs her and steps forward, driving her face first into the top turnbuckle.
Glory turns and Ravyn kicks her in the ribs once and then again before leaning
in and openly choking her.

her with a hard right and then another and another. Ravyn falls to the ropes.
Glory whips her across the ring. Ravyn bounces off and grabs the top rope to
stop herself. Glory runs after and Ravyn gets an elbow up. She then drops down
to the floor. She walks around the ring as the crowd boos. (1) Glory looks at
her, holding her jaw. Ravyn gets some distance.
Sharper: “Ravyn slowing this
down as Glory was just keeping the pressure on her.”
Lyman: “Got the elbow, took a
powder.”
Knots: “And now admiring the
front-row fans. Seeing who she wants to stay away from.”
Ravyn walks around. (2) The crowd
boos as Glory watches her. She walks over to the ropes when suddenly the crowd
roars. We see Nicole Kinneck appear from the back and run out a few strides
before getting tackled down by Dillusion. Kinneck fights, struggling, the
attack getting Glory and referee Aaron Demitra’s attention. Ravyn enters the ring
and runs up behind Glory and hits a running bulldog. The crowd boos. Ravyn then
looks at Nicole as she gets up and is forced down again. At this point, we see
Selena Frost jogging out from the back, getting cheers from the crowd. Ravyn
smirks as she turns back and gets Demitra’s attention. Ravyn then drives her
knee into the back of Glory’s head. She rolls her over for the pin.
Sharper: “Ravyn attacking
Glory from behind and now trying to steal the win!”
Lyman: “Selena’s trying to
help deal with Nicole. Glory and her made a deal there! Nicole trying to get
out!”

Glory kicks out. Ravyn turns
and nails her with a series of hard right hands while on her knees. Glory rolls
over. Selena helps the officials and Dillusion with Nicole as Dillusion manages
to control her arms and hoists her up in a reverse bearhug. Nicole kicks wildly
as Selena nearly gets hit but steps back. Dillusion turns and uses his strength
to try and get her backstage. The crowd looks on as Ravyn grabs Glory and runs
her into the corner. Ravyn kicks her over and over and over again, causing
Glory to drop to a seated position and Ravyn leans in, placing her foot against
Glory’s throat.

and the officials get Nicole to the back. Selena turns and heads to the ring.
Sharper: “With Nicole being
forced to the back, Dillusion wrangling her, Selena Frost appears to be coming
to the ring.”
Knots: “Why?”
Sharper: “Perhaps to just be another
friendly face at ringside. Her and Glory go way back.”
Selena walks down to the ring
as Ravyn turns and grabs Glory and pulls her up and then hits an arm-grab
pulling neckbreaker. The crowd ohs. Ravyn goes for the pin.

suplex. And Josh Hudson better take notice.”
Knots: “I think that may have
been better than his!”
Lyman: “Just trying to rile
him up.”
Knots: “What? Just because I
want to see them tear the house down and see who survives at Apocalypse?”
Ravyn rolls over as Glory
turns and looks at her. She motions for her to get up. Ravyn slowly starts to
do just that and turns around and Glory kicks her in the ribs. She then scoops
her up and slams her down. Glory exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top

Hudson Stretch and turns, but Selena gets up, seeing Hudson attacking Glory.
Selena lunges and goes for the Glass Shard. Hudson drops to the mat and Selena
misses and nails Ravyn in the jaw. Ravyn hits the mat and Selena steps forward,
landing in the ropes, but the bell sounds as Demitra sees the whole thing.
Sharper: “Selena was trying to
help Hudson! Hudson ducked though and Selena took Ravyn out!”
Knots: “She just gave Ravyn
the win! She interfered!”
Selena turns and realizes what
she’s done.
Phillips: “As a result of a
disqualification, here is your winner, Ravyn Taylor!”
The crowd boos loudly as
Selena looks down. But then, she turns as Hudson runs at her and clotheslines
her up and over the top rope to the floor. Hudson looks at her and smirks.
Selena falls back and into the barricade. She winces. Hudson then turns around
as Glory, focusing now on Hudson, jumps up and goes for the Shekinah Glory. The
crowd erupts in cheers as Glory tries to get the hold in. Hudson struggles
mightily as the crowd cheers on Glory.
Sharper: “Glory may be angry,
but right now, focusing on Josh Hudson. She’s trying to lock in the Shekinah
Glory!”
Hudson struggles as Selena
starts to get up. The crowd erupts again as we see Nicole Kinneck running out
from the back, cackling maniacally, her arms flailing in the air. She runs down
to the ring and doesn’t go for the ring. Instead, Selena gets up and Nicole
runs at her and jumps up and grabs at her, trying to pull her hair. Selena
grabs at Nicole’s arms and tries to pull her off. Officials run down after
Nicole as Selena keeps struggling with Nicole. She turns and nearly sends her over
the barricade, but Selena pulls her back as we cut briefly back into the ring
as Hudson hoists Glory up and powerbombs her, but Glory tries again for the
Shekinah Glory, fighting through the pain. Selena then throws Nicole down to
the floor, trying to protect fans from her. Nicole then suddenly turns her
attention, going to leap up and nail someone in the crowd, someone wearing a
Ducky t-shirt. Selena however grabs her legs and holds her down as Nicole now starts
to kick at her. The crowd roars.
Sharper: “Chaos here at
ringside. Selena trying to protect fans now from Nicole! From Luna!”
Knots: “Why didn’t Luna go for
Ravyn?!”
Sharper: “I don’t know, but Glory
still trying to lock in the hold on Hudson. Hudson trying to fight back. What
is going to happen at Apocalypse!”
Selena keeps hold of Nicole as
officials join her in helping. Hudson hoists Glory up again and hits a second
powerbomb, this allowing him to get free. Ravyn rolls to the floor, smirking as
Crowe helps her to her feet. They start to head around the ring as the scene fades
to black…
