“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 Minerva with Konrad Raab standing tall in the ring. Following this is Cid Turner punching CHBK in the concourse. Ace Marshall hitting the Air Marshall on an opponent follows.

I think I lost my memory

I can't remember carefree

And all my days turn into fight or flight

Ricky James hitting the Art of the Deal on Shilo Valiant follows before we see Syren hitting the Total Makeover on an opponent. Bree Lancaster hitting the Classifier on Aaron Blackbourne follows before we see Asher Hayes and Cid Turner coming out of their A/C unit.

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 Kandis and Tommy Valentine holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Kennedy Street standing on the ropes follows before we see Jordan Majors hitting a Cash Out on Sienna Swann. Glory Braddock hitting the London Plunge on a downed opponents is next before we see Xander Valentine booting an opponent in the face.

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

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

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

Trying to get back to who I used to be

Where is the old me?

Chris Cannon spearing Konrad Raab follows before we see a shot of Gavin Taylor on his 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 Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “In the home of the Devils, Supreme Championship Wrestling has arrived!”

The cameras pan the crowd a bit longer, showing some more fans before cutting to the ringside area where Adam Sharper, Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots sit.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and Simon Lyman. We are well on our way to Apocalypse and tonight, we’ve got a big night.”

Lyman: “That we do. Jon, you’re going to be existed. Kennedy Street will be in action against Adam Allocco and we’ll also see Cid Turner face Ravyn Taylor and-“

We then cut to the entrance way as we see Selena Frost walking out from the back. She storms down to the ring, the World Championship around her waist. Deanna Frost then appears and jogs out behind her. Selena heads around the ring as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Selena Frost, our World Champion joining us. And she has plenty reason to be angry.”

Knots: “Asher Hayes crossed a line. Grabbing Deanna and holding her back while Cid took a few shots.”

Selena Frost walks over to Jason Phillips, motioning for a microphone. Phillips obliges and Selena takes it and turns back to the ring.

Selena: “Asher! Cid! I hope you’re by a monitor somewhere backstage!”

Selena walks over to the steel steps. Deanna looks at her. Selena nods and enters the ring. Deanna pulls herself onto the apron and enters the ring. Selena steps forward.

Selena: “There are a lot of things I can be angry about from last week. It could be that you couldn’t wait to get your hands on me. It could be that you, Asher, are an asshole of the highest order and Cid, you’re so firmly kissing his ass that I’m not sure you’re going to be able to come up for air when you face me!”

Selena shakes her head and then turns to the main camera.

Selena: “No…it’s because you had to put your hands on Deanna. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know she can handle herself. It’s one reason I don’t fear her being out here, but you did it just because you could. And if you want to go down that route, I have no problem getting dirty with either one of you!”

The crowd cheers again. The camera cuts to Deanna briefly.

Knots: “Well yeah, Deanna has been in the clink. She can handle herself!”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Selena: “I’ve made it clear that I have one goal this month and that is make sure that you, Cid, won’t be walking out with this championship. I am not going to see you walk out with this title just so you two can share it or pass it off so Asher Hayes can for once in his life feel good about himself. I’m not going to watch you slap everyone backstage across the face because you two want to play these games.”

Selena pauses and looks at the camera.

Selena: “But I’m damn sure not going to let you get away with grabbing Deanna and holding her back, just so you could try and take me out. Asher, Cid…you already pissed me off. Now you’ve crossed the line and I’ll be damned sure to make both of you pay at some point or another….BELIEVE IT!”

Selena brings the microphone down before suddenly, “Groupie” by Cassie Steele starts to play. The crowd roars and cheers as Selena turns to the entrance way. Syren steps out from the back, wearing her new t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She looks down at the ring before starting to head down to the ring.

Sharper: “Selena with a clear message, but she’s forgetting that Syren intends to get her hands on Asher Hayes too!”

Lyman: “Still surprisingly to see these two working together to end Breakdown last week.”

Syren reaches the ring and pulls herself onto the apron. She then steps into the ring. She steps forward and looks at Selena before turning and going to the corner. Phillips hands her a microphone. Syren glances at Deanna before stepping back and going over to Selena. Selena turns and watches her. Syren looks around as her music fades out.

Syren: “I’m not out here to disagree with a word you said. When Asher put his hands on Deanna, that was a step too far. Wrestler or not…whether she can handle herself or not. But I hope you realize me coming out last week wasn’t just to help you out. But I have a target on the back of Asher Hayes that I want to make sure connects!”

The crowd cheers.

Syren: “While he touched her…”

Syren points to Deanna.”

Syren: “He tried to end my career!”

The crowd roars.

Syren: “And while I wish it was men facing you at Apocalypse, you know what…we can help one another here. Yeah, I’m saying this…”

Selena: “With all due respect Syren, but I’m still surprised you came out last week. You and I have never been friends or even nice to each other.”

Syren: “Well sometimes people change. And sometimes things are bigger than whatever rivalry we have.”

Selena and Syren look at one another. The crowd roars. Selena and Syren continue to just watch one another.

Selena: “Given you have ties to Infamous-“

Syren: “Ravyn’s going her way. I’m going mine. We’re still married, but we can do our own thing. And frankly, Selena…I know at some point, I want my shot at that title. But that’s secondary and right now, making sure Asher Hayes never has any shot at the title is damn sure worth it to me for me to put whatever I think about you aside. And I think you may agree.”

Syren looks at Selena. She then extends her hand.

Syren: “Look, I’m not asking you to trust me beyond the fact that both of us have a common enemy. May as well work together to make sure they go down in flames!”

Selena looks at Syren before looking her in the eyes. Syren looks right back at her eyes.

Sharper: “Selena’s reading Syren’s eyes.”

Lyman: “Syren has a long history of doing the wrong thing. There’s going to be doubt.”

Selena then nods and extends her hand and shakes Syren’s hand.

Selena: “Let’s make them regret everything.”

They continue to shake hands for a few more moments as the crowd cheers. Selena and Syren then let go as they lock eyes again.

Sharper: “Asher and Cid better be afraid. An unholy alliance struck here tonight!”

Knots: “They brought Syren and Selena together to take them down. And they hate each other. So you know how badly they screwed up!”

Syren then walks past Selena and heads over to the ropes. She drops down to the floor. Selena watches her leave as Deanna comes over to her. They talk a bit as the scene fades to black.

Backstage we see Asher Hayes watching the monitor backstage and shaking his head. He turns and chuckles as Jessica Winters walks over to him.

Winters: “Asher. Clearly you watched what just happened. Immediate reaction?”

Hayes smirks.

Hayes: “Oh, I’m so scared. We made Selena our bitch last week and I’ll just make sure Syren doesn’t get too comfortable with her anger when I make her fear that her career could end again at my hands!”

Hayes turns to Jessica.

Hayes: “I mean, you’re friends with Selena. How boring is she? No don’t answer that. Instead, after the hours of self-hype, she’s going to find out that Cid Turner doesn’t need to do any of that. He just needs to get in that ring. He stopped everyone for months and he knows he can’t screw up this time! As for Deanna…keep her away from the ring if you don’t want her to be a target. Lord knows everyone uses Cid against me and vice versa!”

Winters looks at Asher disgusted before we see Cid Turner walking over to Asher Hayes wearing a suit of all things. Jessica’s disgust turns to confusion.

Asher: “Look at you! What do you have planned? Hopefully kicking Ravyn Taylor’s ass as a message.”

Cid: “Oh, yeah…uh…totally going to do that. Just…going to take some of the lessons from last week.”

Asher: “That’s for after the show-“

Cid: “No, no, Asher. I have something special planned for tonight.”

Asher: “What?”

Cid: “Look, I’ve got this. I know I can do. I’ve got to start living up to the potential inside of me and well, you know…”

Asher: “Oh…okay, sure.”

Cid: “Look, if it works out, it’ll help us out. Clear up a whole lot of things. Just trust me on this one! I’ve got your back on this. I’m not going to screw up anymore for you!”

Cid nods. He then heads off. Asher turns back to Jessica.

Asher: “Selena and Syren are going to be in for a lot of disappointment at Apocalypse.”

Hayes chuckles to himself before walking off.

The scene cuts back to ringside where Adam Sharper, Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots are seated.

Sharper: “Talk about a big start to tonight’s action. Selena and Syren seem to be on the same page. Cid Turner has something in mind and Asher Hayes is happy to ride the wave!”

Knots: “And that’s just the start. We said Kennie is in action. She will be against Adam Allocco!”

Lyman: “We also will hear from John Goddard who sat down with you, Adam.”

Sharper: “He did and he revealed a lot about what his relationship is with Minerva, how Chris Cannon aligned with him and a hell of an announcement. You won’t want to miss it. That and so much more to come tonight, here on Breakdown!”

A panning shot of the crowd follows before the scene fades to black.

Josh Hudson vs. Autumn Valentine

SCW Television Championship

“Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent blares through the PA system. Older fans are shown moving to the music, just as Josh Hudson steps out from behind the curtain. He mimics the lyrics as well as playing an air guitar, moving along to the music. The crowd cheers as Hudson makes his way down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Morganton, NC, he is Josh Hudson!”

Sharper: “Josh Hudson looking loose, obviously looking forward to returning to action after having a rough go of it as of late.”

Knots: “Both Konrad Raab and Cornelius Locke Isaac Thomas taking him out on separate occasions, but he’s back now and ready to kick things off here with a Television Championship opportunity!”

Hudson walks around the ring, continuing his antics, before hopping onto the apron. He plays air guitar once again, going along with the guitar solo of the song, before stepping into the ring, where Hudson becomes all business, leaning into the turnbuckle, eyes focused as he waits for his opponent while his music dies down.

Lyman: “Hudson in the ring now, and you can see that switch flip immediately, ready for battle. He’ll be trying to make up for lost time in this one.”

A woman’s voice can be heard shouting three letters as the video screens display them in sync.

A

V

W

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless hits the PA system as Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage wearing a black jacket, the SCW TV title draped over her shoulder. Across her ring-gear are indeed the letters AVW. She pauses on the stage for a moment before being joined by Lexy Chapel. Lexy watches on as Autumn throws a free hand up into the air and screams “A-V-W” at the top of her lungs while making the letters with the same hand. Autumn walks to the ring with Lexy just behind, showering her with support.

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied to the ring and proudly presented by Lexy Chapel, from Los Angeles, California, she is the SCW Television Champion, Autumn Valentine!”

Sharper: “While Hudson gets this Championship opportunity, we can’t disregard the fact that this is a big opportunity for Autumn herself, going up against not just a former World Champion, but a member of our Hall of Fame!”

Lyman: “And Autumn Valentine has quietly gained a ton of momentum ever since joining up with Lexy. While her manager and her boyfriend, or whatever he is to her, get a lot of the shine, Autumn’s put together a great run recently, and she has a chance to really make her mark here tonight. It wasn’t that long ago that she took Syren to her limit in a great match for this very same title, but she’ll be looking to finish the job this time out.”

Knots: “Will she be able to focus, or will her mind be on this so-called conspiracy against LexyCorp?! We’ve seen the effect it’s had on Ace Marshall’s psyche!”

Autumn skips up to the apron and jumps up before sliding off her jacket and letting it fall to the floor. She then runs at the turnbuckles, climbing up and once again throwing up the “A-V-W” symbols with her hands while looking into the camera confidently. She jumps from the outside of the ropes to inside of the ring, rolling back to her feet before walking to the ropes and dropping down into the splits and leaning through the ropes to hand her title to Lexy, who seems to hold it proudly. Autumn pushes herself back under the ropes and gets back to her feet, striding towards her corner as Hudson stares her down. The crowd roars as the bell sounds.

Sharper: “Underway here, kicking off Breakdown with gold on the line!”

The two step forward and Hudson goes to lock up, but Autumn kicks him in the shin, buckling him. She goes for a kick to the chest, but Hudson catches her leg and throws her to the side, sending her rolling to the corner.

Lyman: “Hudson going for the grapple, but Autumn knows what to do here. Hudson’s too big and way too talented to grapple around with, so she’s going to be looking to needle away at him. Not flashy, but a strategy she’ll need to work in order to win.”

Autumn quickly gets to her feet in the corner and sees Hudson rushing her. She throws a boot up, catching Hudson in the face and sending him stumbling back towards the center of the ring. Autumn charges Hudson and leaps up for a crossbody, but Hudson catches her. He swings her back to an upright position before catching her with a belly-to-belly suplex, immediately bridging into a pin.

1!

Autumn gets a shoulder up just before two, but Hudson manages to keep a grasp on her, shifting around and bringing her up with him to a vertical base. He clubs Autumn on the back a few times before spinning her around and hoisting her up, hanging her in the air for a moment before planting her with a belly-to-back suplex. The crowd ohs as Autumn winces on the mat, arching her back. Hudson forcefully shoves her shoulders to the mat and hooks a leg for the pin.

1!

2!

Autumn kicks out just after two. She rolls away and out of the ring, stumbling towards the barricade while nursing her back. Lexy comes over and shares a few words of inaudible support while clutching the title.

Sharper: “And Hudson has just dove right into this, showing everyone what he can do even with a little ring rust.”

Autumn nods as Lexy continues to babble. Inside the ring, Hudson gets up and runs at the corner and hops up on the second turnbuckle before leaping up and over the ropes, crash landing onto Autumn with a springboard plancha! The crowd roars. Lexy hits the deck, scattering away quickly while both Hudson and Autumn are laid out on the outside.

Sharper: “Oh, and a plancha! A springboard plancha from Josh Hudson, out of nowhere!”

Lyman: “You said he wanted to show what he could do, and you weren’t lying! Don’t see that often from the 44-year old!”

Knots: “And it looks like he’s feeling it too!”

The referee counts as Hudson pulls himself up, obviously hurting a bit. (1) Autumn crawls over to the steel steps, using them as support while she pulls herself up. Hudson walks towards her as Lexy screams a warning. (2) Hudson grabs Autumn, but Autumn throws up an elbow, sending Hudson falling back. He recovers quickly, however. (3) He again approaches Autumn, but Autumn trips him up with a drop toe-hold, sending him face first into the steel steps! (4) The crowd ohs as both competitors lay on the floor once again.

Sharper: “Autumn with a big move to maybe turn the tide back her way.”

Knots: “I’ll tell you, the size differential doesn’t matter if the big man gets a face full of steel!”

(5) Autumn gets to her feet and quickly goes for a punt, but Hudson rolls out of the way. Autumn’s foot clobbers against the steps with a sickening thud. She hops on one foot around the corner as we see Lexy sprinting over to check on her. (6) Hudson rips at the ring skirt to pull himself up, quickly scouting out Autumn, who’s being coddled by Lexy. He turns the corner to get after her, but she notices him and hops away. (7) Hudson goes after her, but Lexy somewhat hesitantly puts herself in front of him, holding a hand up in his face.

Lexy: “Injury timeout!”

Hudson: “Oh, give me a break, kid.”

(8) Hudson goes to step around Lexy, but Lexy matches his movement, blocking him again. Autumn hops around the corner and slides back into the ring.

Sharper: “And Hudson’s gotta be careful, he might get counted out here!”

(9) Hudson sees Autumn get into the ring and bolts back in. Autumn hops onto the second rope and launches herself off, spinning in the air and nailing Hudson with a roundhouse kick as soon as he gets up! The crowd roars while Hudson hits the mat, rolling towards the ropes.

Sharper: “Autumn with a beautiful springboard kick, taking Hudson down!”

Lyman: “Had a moment to let that foot heal, using that distraction to her advantage. She has to stay on him now.”

Hudson gets to a knee and holds himself up against the ropes, looking a bit dazed. Autumn rushes him and drills him in the side of the head with a vicious pair of double knees! The crowd ohs as Autumn falls to the mat from the force of the move, Hudson falling right beside her. She hooks the near leg and waits for the count, but hears the referee screaming for the rope break. Autumn grabs the far leg instead for the cover.

1!

2!

Hudson gets a shoulder up.

Sharper: “A nearfall there after that devastating strike from Autumn!”

Lyman: “If not for that rope break, that might’ve been it. She caught Hudson good, but now he’s got another chance, and if there’s one person you don’t want to give second chances to, it’s Josh Hudson.”

Autumn shows a bit of frustration before getting up and grabbing both of Hudson’s arms, pulling them up towards her. She starts stomping away at his face, unleashing a series of harsh stomps.

Sharper: “Autumn just unloading on Hudson now!”

Knots: “Adding some more battle scars to that old mug!”

Hudson manages to get his legs under the ropes, but Autumn keeps stomping away as the referee counts.

1!

2!

3!

4!

Autumn relents, almost having to be pulled off by the referee. The referee kneels down and checks on Hudson, who looks out of it.

Lyman: “Almost risking disqualification there, but she knows what’s at risk here. Not just the Television Championship, but her reputation. A notable name in the tag division, but a win like this could cement her status as a worthy singles competitor in the eyes of many.”

Knots: “Might be time to invest more into my LexyCorp stocks.”

Hudson crawls to the middle of the ring, just trying to shake the cobwebs off. Autumn suddenly gets over towards the ropes, stepping through to get onto the apron, sizing up Hudson as he begins to stir back to his feet.

Sharper: “Looking to finish things here with that lariat!”

Lexy can barely contain her excitement as Hudson slowly gets to his feet, the crowd buzzing while Autumn sets up. Autumn launches herself over the rope and goes for the AVW Lariat right as Hudson turns, but he quickly adapts, ducking the attempt and managing to get Autumn in a waistlock from behind. He hoists her up and drops back with a German suplex! The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Autumn whiffing the lariat and getting planted with a German suplex!”

Hudson bridges up for the pin.

1!

2!

Autumn rolls her shoulder up, but Hudson keeps the waistlock on, bringing Autumn up with him.

Knots: “He’s not done!”

Hudson throws her back again with another suplex, again keeping hold of her and getting back to his feet. Once more, he goes for the German, but Autumn manages to block it with her leg. She throws an elbow back, catching Hudson in the head. Hudson keeps the hold on, pushing Autumn forward into the ropes. The referee goes to count, but Autumn stomps on Hudson’s foot to break his grip. She spins around and nails him with a discus forearm, sending him stumbling back. She runs at him, leaping up for what looks like a flying headscissors, but Hudson immediately snaps her down with a powerbomb! The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Oh, and a snap powerbomb for the counter! Autumn’s head just snapped against the canvas!”

Knots: “Hudson not going for the cover though!”

Hudson shakes the cobwebs off before leaning down and grabbing Autumn’s leg, draping it over his shoulders into a stretch muffler, starting to shift to turn Autumn over.

Lyman: “Opting to try and finish with the submission rather than the pin, looking for the Hudson Stretch!”

Autumn struggles mightily, fighting to not get put into the crab hold. Hudson struggles back, but to no avail as Autumn flings herself around, not letting Hudson get a good grip. Hudson releases the leg, spinning Autumn onto her stomach and quickly dropping down a hard elbow to her spine. Suddenly, he traps her arm and locks in the Sever(in)Mission. The crowd buzzes as Autumn struggles to reach for the ropes.

Sharper: “Crossface variant from Hudson, flawlessly transitioning from the Hudson Stretch!”

Lyman: “Haven’t seen this move from him yet, but he’s pulling out a new trick to get the job done here.”

Autumn abandons her rope break attempt and instead manages to flip over on top of Hudson for a cover.

1!

Hudson releases the hold and rolls away, Autumn doing the same.

Sharper: “Autumn using all of her strength to get out!”

Lyman: “Not known for her power, but she dug deep there to save her title.”

Hudson gets to his feet first and charges Autumn, but Autumn counters with a spinning back kick, dropping Hudson to his knees. She steps back, throws up a W with her hands, and goes for a thrust kick, but Hudson dodges it, sending Autumn stumbling into the ropes. He gets up and grabs her, spinning her around, but gets met with a knee to the gut. He staggers back while Autumn hurriedly hops onto the apron, holding onto the top rope and turning to Hudson.

Sharper: “Autumn looking for the AVW Lariat again!”

She flips over the ropes, but before she can even get the attempt off, Hudson catches her and throws her across his shoulders! The crowd roars as Autumn kicks her legs to try and get free.

Knots: “But Hudson caught her, setting up for Kingdom Come!”

Hudson hoists Autumn up, but Autumn counters it into a hurricanrana, planting Hudson into the mat!

Sharper: “Oh, what a counter!”

Autumn reaches back to hook a leg.

1!

2!

Hudson pushes her off, sending her falling forward, but still on her feet. She quickly turns around and catches a rising Hudson with an enzuigiri! Hudson falls forward to the mat. He starts to push himself up while Autumn gets back to her feet. Hudson brings himself back to a knee, but Autumn quickly hits the ropes and bounces back with Blindspot! The crowd ohs as Hudson falls forward.

Sharper: “Autumn got it off, hitting the Blindspot!”

Knots: “Scrambling for the cover now!”

Autumn quickly crawls over to Hudson and flips him over, hooking both legs.

1!

2!

3!

Autumn rolls off of Hudson as “Miss Nothing” plays over the sound of the bell and Lexy’s abhorrent celebratory shrieks.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and still SCW Television Champion, Autumn Valentine!”

Sharper: “A big win for Autumn Valentine!”

Lyman: “With everything going on with Ace and Lexy and their conspiracies, Autumn shows up and picks up maybe one of the biggest wins of her career. It didn’t come easy, but it did come.”

Knots: “What is she, the unsung hero of Lexy’s Angels? I’m sure Lexy could find a way to market that!”

Autumn rolls out of the ring and falls to a knee, but Lexy helps her up while jumping up and down. The referee slides out and raises Autumn’s arm into the air, but Lexy scoots him out of the way to do it herself. The referee shakes his head and slides back into the ring as Hudson begins to stir.

Sharper: “Well, I wondered if anything wild would happen with Lexy at ringside to start the night, but things remained relatively tame.”

Knots: “Night’s not over, Adam.”

Autumn and Lexy make their way up the ramp, Autumn throwing up her hand gestures towards the ring while making her exit. Meanwhile, the referee checks on Hudson, who finally comes to. He shakes his head while keeping his eyes on the ramp.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Ryan Watson walking backstage. The crowd roars seeing him.

Sharper: “Wait a minute. That’s Ryan Watson. What the hell is he doing here?”

Knots: “Haven’t you been following? He’s apparently getting it on with Lexy!”

Watson takes a few more steps before we see Ace Marshall stepping out of a locker room, smirking before chuckling. He steps forward as Watson looks at him, turning his head. He steps forward, before we then see Lexy Chapel running forward and hugging Watson.

Lexy: “Ry!!!!! You came!”

Ryan looks a bit surprised at first before seeing Autumn and his demeanour changing entirely.

Ryan: “Yes, Lexy. I’m…uh, ‘ere.”

Lexy: “You always know how to surprise. Especially in our hour of need! With this horrible conspiracy developing. Too bad Autumn Valentine is one of the best in the world thanks to LexyCorp!”

Autumn: “Oh yes. That’s exactly why. And this title isn’t going anywhere!”

Lexy: “Aren’t you happy to see Ace?! I mean, both of our guys here.”

Ace: “Yeah. Come on. Give me some tongue!”

Ryan: “Ya sure. Mebbe he’s bin elsewhere-“

Lexy steps on Ryan’s foot. He winces.

Ryan: “Goddamnit!”

Lexy: “Oh…did you stub your toe. You’ll even hurt yourself to be with me. It’s so sweet!”

Ace: “What are you saying there Ryan?”

Ryan: “Well howbout-“

Lexy suddenly just openly kisses Ryan as Autumn turns and rolls her eyes. Ace turns to Autumn and shrugs.

Autumn: “I should have a shower first. Just been out there.”

Lexy pulls off.

Lexy: “Not going to join her. Like people in looooove do! Yeah…uh…well, speaking of which. We’ll have a shower too. Yeah! It’s gonna be hot. And no conspiracy can kill our LOVE!”

Lexy grabs Ryan and pulls him away. Autumn glances at Ace.

Autumn: “You joining us.”

Ace: “Be careful. People may think-“

Autumn: “To the locker room. Someone has to make sure they don’t get into trouble.”

Ace: “I thought you didn’t give any fu-“

Autumn: “Yeah, yeah. But Lexy shouldn’t be left alone without an adult…and Ryan…well-“

Ace: “Go chase after them. Find Yashidi. I’ll be around later.”

Autumn: “Okay…”

Autumn heads off as Ace turns and heads in the opposite direction.

Glory Braddock vs. Konrad Raab

The first chords of “When Legends Rise” by Gobsmack begins to play over the PA system. The crowd roars as Glory Braddock walks out from the back, standing on 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.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock coming out here in her wrestling gear. She put out a open challenge. And Konrad Raab responded.”

Lyman: “She’s not happy about last week. Xander Valentine defeated her with the Fade to Black. Glory felt she could still compete. I don’t know…”

Knots: “That’s why the officials are there. To protect the competitors. We know they’ll keep fighting. But this, tonight, feels convenient. Glory put out the challenge and Konrad answering. Drake Hemingway and the Jackals were watching last week!”

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. The music fades out as she turns and heads over to the corner, demanding a microphone. Phillips hands her one and she takes it, walking back to the middle of the ring.

Glory: “Well Konrad! You agreed to a match? I’m in my gear. Let’s get this going!”

Glory flips the microphone behind her and starts to pace in the ring. The crowd cheers her.

Lyman: “That’s to the point!”

Sharper: “Glory Braddock motivated.”

“Freak On A Leash” by Korn plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain. Konrad's wearing his leather black zipped GIMP mask along with his black leather overalls with his buttocks showing with black gloves on both of his hands with black wrestling boots. He wears black cotton wristbands, designed of The GIMP mask on one side and The Iceman mask on the other side with German flags underneath the masks. He also has a German flag attached to the side of his trousers.

Phillips: “From Cologne, Germany, representing the Jackals, he is The Iced GIMP, Konrad Raab!”

He looks down to the ring, the camera focusing on his eyes, before he starts to head down to the ring. The crowd roars as Konrad picks up the pace and runs down to the ring. He then rolls into the ring. He gets up and swings, going for a clothesline. Glory ducks. Steve Hollinsworth, the official, calls for the bell to start. It rings and Glory turns and forearms Konrad in the jaw and then again before kicking him in the ribs.

Sharper: “Raab running to the ring. Ready for this!”

Knots: “No Minerva though!”

Lyman: “So he may be more unhinged!”

Glory forearms him again and then grabs him and pushes him into the corner. Glory nails him with a series of hard forearms as the official counts.

1!

2!

3!

4!

Glory steps back and walks around the ring. She then turns and runs at the corner, but Raab gets an elbow up. Glory stumbles back. Konrad steps out and nails Glory with a European uppercut. Glory hits the mat and rolls over, shaking the cobwebs loose. She then starts to get up as Konrad steps up and walks over and grabs her and clubs her in the back. He then pushes her into the corner. Raab nails her with a hard right and then a left, and then a series of more rights and lefts, all to the ribs.

Sharper: “Raab now working over Glory Braddock. Hard rights and lefts.”

Knots: “And both just saying, screw it. We’ll fight. They chose violence today!”

Raab steps away and walks around the ring. Glory winces and Raab grabs her and whips her across the ring. Raab runs after, but Glory flips up and over the top rope and onto the apron. Raab hits the corner chest first and staggers back and Glory springboards to the top rope and dives off with a hard clothesline. Raab hits the mat. Glory goes for the pin.

Raab kicks out. Glory rolls off. Raab starts to get up and Glory kicks him in the ribs and then runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Raab goes for a clothesline. Glory ducks and jumps to the middle rope and dives back and catches Raab with a back elbow. Raab falls to the ropes. He then starts to get up as Glory gets up and runs at him and kicks him in the ribs. Raab rolls over to the corner. He grabs at the ropes, slowly pulling himself up.

Sharper: “Glory just showing a level of aggression we’ve not usually seen from her.”

Lyman: “She was not happy about last week. She likes to be in control of her situation and the referee took that away, I think, rightfully.”

Glory then climbs up and on top of Raab as he gets up in the corner. She then wraps her legs around the head of Raab before turning and falling back into a figure four headlock over the top rope!

Glory lets go and falls to the apron. Raab coughs and falls forward, first to his hands and knees, and then back up to his feet. He gets up as Glory then climbs up to the top rope. She then dives off and with a crossbody, but Raab catches him and rolls through into a pin.

Glory kicks out. Both get up and Glory lunges at Raab, but Raab catches her with a European uppercut. The crowd ohs and Glory falls to the ropes. She then steps forward and Raab grabs her, hoisting her up and then dropping her down with the Iceinator! He remains down for the pin.

1!

2!

Glory gets her shoulder up. The crowd roars. Raab looks at her and then rolls back.

Sharper: “Raab got the Iceinator off, but only two!”

Lyman: “She’s fighting still. Getting that shoulder up.”

Raab gets up and looks around and grabs Glory. Raab then knees her in the ribs and whips her into the ropes. Raab bounces off the other side and Raab jumps up, going for a diving European uppercut, but Glory rolls underneath. Raab then creams Hollinsworth with the shot. The crowd ohs. Raab gets up and turns around and Glory jumps up and hits the Gloria In Excelsis Dio! The crowd ohs.

Knots: “Hollinsworth is dead!”

Sharper: “Raab took him right out and then walked right into the double knees to the face!”

Glory turns and looks at the official and then to Raab before shaking her head. As she gets up, the crowd roars. Glory gets up and runs into the ropes across from the ramp, bouncing off and she steps forward as Drake Hemingway slides in and Glory tries to stop, but Drake scoops her up and spins her around into a vicious Mark of the Beast. The crowd ohs and Glory rolls over from the impact.

Sharper: “My God! Glory Braddock turned inside out from the Mark of the Beast.”

Lyman: “Using her momentum against her and Glory Braddock is hurt!”

Drake slowly gets up as we then see Kandis and Tommy Valentine reaching the ring. They climb up the steel steps and into the ring. Drake Hemingway looks at Glory as Glory grimaces in pain, holding her head and neck. Tommy heads across and stomps the official in the ribs and then again, pushing him through the ropes to the floor.

Sharper: “Tommy getting the official out of there. It’s now four on one. Konrad recovering.”

Knots: “They’re just standing over Glory!”

Lyman: “This is a show of strength. Glory said she’d fight alongside Christy at Rise to Greatness if necessary and Drake was watching last week!”

Tommy turns back and Drake turns to Kandis. Glory starts to get up, fighting up.

Sharper: “But again, she’s not stopping. She’s still fighting! Just like she wanted to do last week!”

Glory grabs at Drake as Konrad starts to get up and Kandis then grabs Glory as Tommy then grabs Glory too. Tommy then hoists her up and Kandis jumps up and they drive her down with the Welcome Distraction. Glory rolls over in pain. The crowd ohs as Kandis smirks and Tommy does too. They get up and we cut to the stage where Lucas Knight, brandishing his cricket bat, and Christy Matthews run out from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers. Drake turns and nods. He motions to Konrad, Kandis and Tommy. They drop to the floor. Drake backs up and steps through the ropes to the floor as Konrad, Kandis and Tommy each look under the ring and grab chairs. Lucas and Christy slide into the ring.

Sharper: “The Order of Chaos is here!”

Lyman: “Some backup and Christy and Lucas, a bit late, but at least they’re here, for back up, to help Glory!”

Knots: “But the Jackals are reloading!”

Konrad, Kandis and Tommy lift up their chairs as Drake just stands at ringside, looking in. Lucas Knight swings the cricket bat towards them as Christy briefly checks on Glory. Glory rolls over in pain. Christy then turns and looks at Drake, standing over Glory. The crowd starts to chant “OOC” as Lucas keeps using the bat to keep the Jackals back. Drake then turns to Konrad and nods as the Connection move in. They go to slide in, but as they get up, officials slide into the ring. Lucas swings at Tommy, Tommy leaning back and dodging and rolling over to the floor. Kandis swings at Christy as Christy ducks and then grabs Glory and pulls her back as official then step between the two sides, protecting Glory and OOC. Lucas backs up, pointing his bat at Drake. Konrad yells at them through his mask as Tommy threatens one of the officials.

Lyman: “Thank God for Dean Black and SCW security! Black’s trying to maintain some order here.”

Knots: “But barely. Glory hurt. Kandis nearly took Christy’s head off. And Tommy nearly lost his too!”

Sharper: “Lucas Knight and Christy Matthews, they’d fight. Glory too. She’s trying to get up, but the numbers not in their favour and the Jackals have all of the steel too!”

The officials stand between them, trying to diffuse the situation. Lucas keeps standing guard as Christy rolls to the floor and helps Glory out of the ring. Glory turns and grabs at the ropes. Christy says something to her before Glory lets go and backs up. Lucas keeps pointing the cricket bat at the Jackals as Drake just smirks. Kandis yells at them as Tommy just laughs. Konrad keeps yelling at them too as Lucas drops down to the floor. He backs up as the crowd looks on.

Sharper: “Lucas Knight and Christy Matthews know they need to be smart here. They can’t start this war here with the Jackals. Not down a woman.”

Lucas continues to stand guard as Christy helps Glory to the back. Glory glances back as Christy does too. The Jackals stand in the ring, moving forward, the officials keeping them from chasing their opponents as the scene fades out.

Sharper:” As we take care of things out here, Jessica Winters is waiting backstage with Jordan Majors. Jessica?”

Backstage, Jessica Winters stands next to Jordan Majors who is in her wrestling gear.

Winters: “Thank you Adam. I’m here with Jordan Majors and we know Brittany Lohan is here and Nicole Kinneck, we assume she is. But are you concerned about anything involving what they may find on tape.”

Majors: “Why would I be? You think I attacked her? I called her out to the ring. I was going to give her the fight both of us wanted. The only reason it didn’t happen was because officials came down and Brittany Lohan felt the need to leave an imprint of her boot on my face.”

Jordan Majors pauses for a moment.

Majors: “If I’m going after Nicole, it’s face to face. So I don’t know who the hell is getting in my way…but trust me, I will make sure they pay. As for tonight, while Brittany worried about looking out for her friend…I’m going to focus on getting a win against Katie Steward. Simple as that.”

Winters: “Thank you for your time.”

Majors turns and heads off.

Winters: “A strong rebuttal to anyone thinking she is behind the attacks. More to come, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as Glory Braddock is sitting down on one of the storage crates backstage. Christy Matthews stands with her as Lucas Knight paces, cricket bat in his hand.

Christy: “You okay?”

Glory: “Would’ve kept getting up. I’m not going to let them just run me down like that….but thank you.”

Christy: “We didn’t need to see whether you were telling the truth at Rise to Greatness, but the fact that you said it…given my recent past, we appreciate it.”

Glory: “I’m here to compete against the best. Not get jumped. And not win the US Title with an asterisk. Congratulations by the way. I know you’ve not had much chance to appreciate it.”

Christy: “After what I did last year…you know…I don’t deserve the big celebration and pyro. I’ve enjoyed it with my daughter. Something I needed to start doing.”

Jaina Lancaster walks over to the three.

Jaina: “Christy, Glory…Lucas….can I get a word?”

Lucas: “Let me guess. Want us to share our thoughts on the Jackals?”

Jaina: “That’s a place to start.”

Lucas: “Well I wish I coulda cracked a few of em with this bat here. But they’re slippery little assholes.”

Christy: “Yeah, but we’re not going to keep circling around like this. Tommy Valentine wants to threaten me for doing the right things, helping maybe one of the few close true friends I’ve got…I don’t regret a thing. Are you going to threaten us again? For helping Glory, when she stepped up and showed she would at least stand along me…and actions tonight proved she’d fight.”

Glory: “You’ve got that right.”

Lucas: “You know…how about we stop the screwing around and maybe give the officials a night off. You keep wanting to make a statement. We’re happy to step up to fight. You bring three. We’ve got us three. Next week? How’s that sound.”

Glory: “I can’t think of anything better here.”

Christy: “And maybe we can show you a thing or two about teamwork.”

The scene switches to outside of the locker room of Lexy’s Angels.

Lexy: “What the hell?! Are they…are…Autumn! ACE!”

The camera moves into the locker room as we see Lexy Chapel wearing a towel, although over her bra, suggesting some of this is for appearance. Lexy turns to the camera, making sure they’re even there, before turning back to the monitor. Ryan Watson just sits in the background, fully clothed, peering down from a gaming magazine.

Lexy: “Where are they? DOESN’T MATTER. THE CONSPIRACY THICKENS!”

Lexy turns and sees Ryan.

Lexy: “Ry! Come on! Lose some clothing. Uh…shower. Remember, we’re going to do love things and all and it’s going to be hot.”

Ryan: “Oh…yeah…yeah…”

Ryan puts the magazine down and reluctantly pulls his shirt off and leans back. Lexy is a bit surprised.

Lexy: “Damn…er…uh….now! Get a towel. I’m going to need to get my mind off this TERRIBLE CONSPIRACY! Now OOC comes back OUT OF NOWHERE and they go OUT OF CONTROL to now muscle in on the World Tag Champs. That should Ace and Autumns. THEY didn’t lose.”

Ryan: “Uh…yeah….sure….”

Lexy: “Katsumi Yashidi is great. But it was all a placeholder. To prove people COULD challenge Lexy Chapel presents Lexy’s Angels and now they’re threatening the people who took OUR titles. Oh…this cannot stand! This cannot stand at all.”

Ryan: “So whynot do sumthin ‘bout it?”

Lexy: “That’s the thing. Who do I go to? D’s dead. Dean Black doesn’t like me. And HELLO, CONSPIRACY!”

Lexy looks around. Lexy then grabs Autumn’s Television Championship, presumably left behind earlier. She then throws it over her shoulder.

Lexy: “Well I need to think…”

Lexy then heads back into the showers. Ryan rubs his temples as Lexy calls back.

Lexy: “Ryan! Coming?!”

Ryan: “Yeah, yeah…”

Ryan gets up and heads after her as Ryan motions to the cameraman to leave. The cameraman slowly steps out and into the hallway.

Knots: “We said wasn’t chaotic…looks like it is now.”

Sharper: “Lexy’s all over the place and did she try to lure the camera in?”

Lyman: “Between another relationship…and is anyone going to point out Ryan and Autumn used to be something…”

Sharper: “I don’t even know how to respond to Lexy’s claims and now there’s a conspiracy. And I don’t know if she’s just going off the fly or what, but…”

Backstage, we open up to another part of the building to see Shilo Valiant yelling off camera as Jaina Lancaster is with him, trying to have an interview.

Shilo: “We’re going to have this dance again. Well that I wasn’t expecting!”

The camera pans back to show Ace Marshall standing there.

Ace: “Well I figured since we have some unfinished business and I do own someone for stepping in to get a little annoyance away from me.”

Shilo: “Maybe we can find a nearby table. See if you’re still standing that tall, but I think I owe you that still too!”

Ace: “Good luck trying to put me through one. We’re here because well…it’s fun to kick your goofy ass.”

Shilo: “We?”

Shilo looks around.

Shilo: “Only see you here. So…better start off whatever you have planned. I don’t think Lexy can stay quiet for that long!”

Ace looks to his left and right quickly before lunging in and Shilo catches him with a kick to the ribs. Ace staggers over as Jaina steps back. Shilo turns and grabs Ace and lifts him up before spinning him around and throwing him into the backdrop. Ace staggers back and Shilo nails him with a hard right. Ace falls to the ground. He rolls over and Shilo grabs him.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall went to fight Shilo! Picking back up to where they left off before Lexy brought in Cassidy Carter!”

Lyman: “Where’s the we?”

Ace ends up giving his back to Shilo and Shilo locks in a cobra clutch and tries to pull Ace up. The crowd roars.

Shilo: “Okay. Well, time to see if we can find some furniture to reacquaint you with. Was going to have more to say, but this works for me!”

Shilo starts to drag Ace up, before we see Autumn Valentine run over and nail Shilo from behind. Shilo lets go and falls over. Autumn moves forward and stomps Shilo a couple of times in the back as the crowd boos.

Knots: “There’s the we!”

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine from behind!”

Ace rolls over as Autumn gets a few more shots in. She turns back to Ace as Ace backs up.

Ace: “Yeah! Kick his ass!”

Ace staggers up as Shilo rolls over, wincing, as Autumn walks over to him.

Ace: “Oh Autumn…thanks for joining. Saw you got a few shots in too.”

Autumn: “You okay?”

Ace: “Happy as hell, watching that son of a bitch dropped. Nice job!”

Autumn: “Yeah…”

Autumn turns back as Shilo starts to stir as a couple of officials jog into these scene to keep things apart. Ace however gets up, chuckling to himself. He then starts to walk off as Autumn glances at Shilo again and then back to Ace. Autumn backs up, a bit confused before Jaina comes back into the scene.

Jaina: “Ah…Autumn…”

Autumn: “I’ve got nothing to say about this-“

Jaina: “No…no…Uh, more, I hate to be the one to say this. But I was cut off last week. Lexy stopped me. You and Ace are still seeing each other.”

Autumn delays just a moment before responding.

Autumn: “Yeah. Oh yeah.”

Jaina: “I think he’s cheating on you. I don’t know how closely you watched last week’s show, but he was caught on camera leaving a locker room getting dressed and people think he was with Cass. Sorry.”

Autumn looks a bit surprised.

Shilo: “Running away like a coward. Oh this is getting better. Maybe I need to get my hands dirty again here, Ace!”

Autumn glances back at Shilo as he starts to get up, officials surrounding him, some checking on him.

Jaina: “Sorry. I’ve just been through something similar and would want to know.”

Autumn: “Yeah….thanks.”

Autumn turns back as Shilo steps up to go after her.

Shilo: “Seeing if I’m still down. Autumn…you can’t keep me down! No one has! Not even an explosion!”

Shilo laughs as Autumn backs up and then heads off as the scene cuts to black.

Cid Turner walks backstage wearing his suit and he then walks down the hallway before slowing down and stopping. He stretches out his neck and takes a deep breath before then stretching his left arm and then stretching his right. He then turns and the camera pans over to show that he’s outside of the Infamous locker room.

Sharper: “What is he doing?”

Cid Turner then goes to knock on the door. Cid then shakes his head. He then turns the knob and barges into the door. Cid steps in. CHBK is heard.

CHBK: “Excuse me-“

Cid immediately, as if a reflex, punches CHBK in the jaw. CHBK stumbles back and falls over the table in the room before Alexander Crowe walks over.

Crowe: “The hell are you doing-“

Cid holds his fist up.

Cid: “I’ll clock you too! I am here to talk to the person married to Syren!”

Crowe: “Which one?”

Cid looks at CHBK.

Cid: “What?! She’s married to him too?!”

Crowe: “No, you idiot! Me! And I’m about to kick you the hell out of here!”

Ravyn just chuckles in the back as Cid looks at Crowe and then Ravyn.

Cid: “Oh I meant her, but…”

Cid then pulls out a white glove from his coat pocket and uses it to slap Crowe across the face. Crowe turns away briefly, before turning back incensed.

Knots: “Did he just challenge Crowe to a duel?!”

Cid: “Well, then, both of you. You and you, Ravyn. Not him. Screw him.”

Cid points to CHBK at this point.

Cid: “I am fighting for Syren’s honour!”

Ravyn: “Oh this shall be illuminating. She’s not interested.”

Cid: “I beg to differ devil-spawn. We had magic at Rise to Greatness and although she may hate me for beating her, I know I can win her heart and with the teachings of Asher and legendary being inside of me, I can join all the forces together to overcome Selena Frost! So look our you two…I’m COMING!”

Cid turns and heads off. Crowe just looks confused before turning back to Ravyn.

Crowe: “Did that muppet say he had a legendary being inside of him?”

Ravyn: “Correct.”

CHBK starts to get up, holding his jaw.

Crowe: “Should we tell Syren?”

Ravyn: “No…we’ll just humiliate him. Syren can handle herself as she has evidently shown.”

Ravyn turns as CHBK winces.

CHBK: “Son of a bitch.”

The scene cuts away.

Katie Steward vs. Jordan Majors

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Sweet but Psycho:” by Ava Max plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold religious ring robe that is popelike and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by TJ Johnson, from Los Angeles, California, she is the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length. Katie walks around the ring and up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie to her corner.

Sharper: “Katie Steward coming after a Rise to Greatness where she lost to Purity Pixie, but perhaps there’s a new business opportunity.”

Lyman: “That’s not a business opportunity. That’s a chance to get rid of any problem! We will see Tsunami in action later. She’ll get a good look!”

Knots: “She was thinking about it last week.”

The lights go down and then red lights blink on the stage as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart begins to play.

Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a…
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a Warrior!

A spotlight shines on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors from behind, arms outstretched. She turns around right as the guitar riffs and pumps a fist with a smile across her face. She looks out at the crowd and nods a few times before she begins walking down the ramp.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, she is Jordan Majors!”

Jordan keeps her eyes on the ring as she heads down the rampway. She gets to the bottom of the ramp and surveys the crowd once more before running and sliding into the ring. She stays on her stomach. She leans on her elbows and kicks her feet behind her before rolling to her feet.  Jordan runs and jumps up on the nearest corner and puts one arm up as she looks out at the crowd and nods her head.

Sharper: “Majors needs to focus here. If she follows through with what she said earlier, she could be fine.”

Knots: “Hard to do when you have a couple of people who want nothing more than to knock you around and think you’ve sabotaged them.”

The bell sounds as referee Michael Constantine calls for it. Jordan steps up as Katie looks at her and Jordan moves up towards her. Katie backs up and moves to the corner, stepping through. The crowd boos as Jordan stops and Constantine steps her back. Katie steps back in and walks along the ropes. Jordan watches her and asks her if she’s ready. Katie stops and snaps back at her. Jordan steps up and Katie turns and steps back through the ropes to the floor. The crowd boos as Jordan sighs and steps back. (1) Katie walks around as TJ heads over to her.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors frustrated, but I wonder if this is an explicit plan by her to take advantage.”

Knots: “Would be smart of her.”

Lyman: “Hey, she may not be as dominant as she was, but she’s got as much experience as anyone.”

Katie smirks as she walks around. (2) Majors keeps watching as Katie then walks over to the steel steps. The crowd boos. (3) She slowly walks up and onto the apron. She motions to keep Majors back as the crowd boos some more. Majors paces as Katie slowly steps into the ring. She plants her feet and steps through before running over to Majors and raking her eyes. The crowd boos. Katie forearms Majors in the jaw and then again, knocking her back into the corner. Katie moves in and starts to choke her with her boot.

Katie steps back and backs up. Majors coughs a bit, trying to catch her breath before Katie moves in and forearms her in the jaw. She grabs Majors and whips her across the ring. Katie runs after and hits a running clothesline. Majors falls to the mat and Katie poses a bit as Major starts to get up. Katie turns and looks at her before jumping up and hitting a dropkick to the jaw.

Knots: “Beautiful dropkick!”

Sharper: “One of the nicest in the business. And right to the butt of the jaw. Jordan Majors in trouble.”

Katie then walks over to Jordan and steps over, handstanding and going for the breakdancing leg drop, but Majors rolls out of the way. Katie hits the mat. She winces and gets up and Jordan drops her with a hard shoot kick to the chest. Katie falls to the mat as the crowd ohs. Katie holds her chest and starts to get up and Majors forearms her in the jaw. Katie falls back and rolls over. Majors grabs her and lifts her up and runs her face first into the top turnbuckle. Katie stumbles back and Majors steps up and hits another shoot kick to the chest, knocking her down again. Majors goes for the pin.

Katie kicks out. She rolls over, holding her chest. Majors then grabs her.

Lyman: “Only two after another vicious kick.”

Katie hits the corner as Jordan runs after and Katie goes up and over. Jordan stops at the corner and turns back and Katie hits another dropkick. Jordan hits the mat. Katie rolls over. She gets up and then walks over and stands over Majors, pulling her up for a camel clutch only to then start to rake at Jordan’s eyes. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Going for the eyes again!”

Knots: “Katie now maybe getting a bit petty, but whatever. If Majors can’t see, she may not be able to hit that kick or the Cash Out!”

The referee meanwhile calls for the break.

Katie lands and turns and Majors kicks her in the ribs, grabs her and lifts her up for the falcon arrow!

Katie kicks out. Majors rolls back. She then gets up as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Majors gets two out of the falcon arrow. But now she’s looking to end this!”

The crowd cheers and the bell sounds.

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

The crowd cheers as Jordan Majors slowly gets up. She looks around as the official raises her arm.

Sharper: “Majors hits the Cash Out and gets the three. And gets another win.”

Knots: “Hey. She’s rattling off the wins here.”

Sharper: “But not the win she wants.”

Jordan Majors pulls her arm away and walks around the ring. She then turns and drops down to the floor. She looks around and starts to head to the back. But as she does, she stops as we cut backstage to see Brittany Lohan walking over to Dean Black in the backstage area.

Sharper: “Wait a minute…”

Knots: “Looks like Brittany Lohan picking the right time.”

Brittany: “Dean…you check it out.”

Dean: “Yeah. We did.”

Brittany: “Come on. We let’s get this figured out. Get this all settled.”

Dean: “Britt…it’s not worth it. There’s nothing to show.”

Jordan looks on from the rampway, shaking her head.

Brittany: “What the hell do you mean?”

Dean: “Whoever attacked her, it’s out of the view of the camera. I looked at it myself. It’s why I didn’t make a big deal. Figured you come to me.”

Brittany sighs. He shakes her head.

Brittany: “Of course.”

Dean: “Whether it’s luck or they knew where the security cameras were…I don’t have anything. So if you’re looking to catch Jordan, there’s no proof from our end. All we have to go on is what Nicole said. And she keeps changing her story.”

Brittany: “You know damn well why. Why the hell don’t you consider that? She gets attacked and because of stuff outside of her control, SHE’S getting punished.”

Jordan shakes her head and starts to head to the back as Dean and Brittany keep talking.

Dean: “We want everyone safe. I’ve expanded our budget for security to try and avoid another problem, but-“

Brittany: “No, I’ll take care of her. I’ll make sure she’s safe, like I will other people. Thanks for nothing, Dean.”

Dean sighs as Brittany heads off. Dean shakes his head. He goes to say something but stops. He then turns and punches a nearby vending machine in anger as he walks off. Suddenly, we cut back to the arena as the crowd roars. Jordan Majors is on the stage as Nicole Kinneck is standing now on the stage, holding a flower. She is beaming, a full smile as Jordan looks at her.

Knots: “Brittany Lohan better get the hell out here if she’s protectin g her!”

Sharper: “Nicole Kinneck…or should I say Ducky is out here.”

Jordan continues to look at Nicole as Ducky keeps extending the flower. Majors then grabs the flower, looking at it before immediately getting back in a fighting stance. Ducky then just smiles and waves.

Ducky: “Don’t worry! I know…I like you!”

Jordan looks confused as Ducky steps back and then walks towards the back. Jordan Majors looks at the flower and throws it down. She shakes her head.

Sharper: “Ducky…did you get that?”

Lyman: “I tried to read her lips. I think Ducky said she’s innocent.”

Sharper: “That’s intriguing…”

Jordan then steps forward before suddenly, Nicole runs back out and jumps up, and tackles Jordan down. The crowd erupts in cheers. Ducky starts to take Jordan’s head and smashes it repeatedly against the stage. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “And there’s the personality change. If Ducky thinks she’s innocent, Pro things she’s not or she’s still a threat!”

Knots: “And she’s trying to give Majors a concussion!”

Majors tries to fight and pushes Nicole off her. Nicole rolls over and gets up and Majors gets up and Nicole tackles her back into the entrance set before Majors holds on and spins through, dropping to the mat and taking Nicole over. She then gets over on top of her and hammers away on her. The crowd roars as Majors gets a few more shots in, before we see Brittany Lohan running out with officials around her. Lohan grabs Majors by the hair and pulls her up, but Majors turns and clocks her with a hard right before grabbing her and throwing her into the stage. Lohan falls over and turns as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Majors fighting off Lohan now! And Majors getting some measure of revenge from last week.”

Lyman: “But that’s pissing Nicole off!”

Nicole then gets up and runs at Majors, tackling her down again, incensed by her attack on Lohan. Nicole gets a few shots in as Majors fights back with a few of her own. Officials try to pry Nicole off as the scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as Autumn Valentine is walking through the hallway. She walks over to one door, opening it and glancing inside. She then continues to walk down the hallway before we hear Ace Marshall laughing. Autumn picks up the pace as she walks down the hallway and into a side area where Ace Marshall is leaning against the wall by a few storage crates, laughing.

Ace: “Oh Autumn…looking for little old me.”

Autumn: “Yeah, figured we should talk.”

Ace: “Kicking Shilo’s ass though…that was great. Needed that little pick me up with Jake Starr getting a title shot-“

Autumn: “Cid Turner.”

Ace: “Who?”

Autumn: “Cid Turner is getting the title shot.”

Ace: “Oh, he’s back. That’s nice. Good for him. Still…just-“

Autumn: “Whatever. Shilo was weird enough. But we have something else to talk about.”

Ace: “Oh no…trouble in paradise!”

Autumn: “Well, rumours are going around that you were getting lucky with Cass backstage.”

Ace turns to Autumn and smirks.

Ace: “Not like you’d worry about it. Plus, Cass…just…”

Autumn: “I didn’t Cassidy here last week. In fact, that’s one thing Lexy won’t stop talking about is how Cassidy won’t answer her phone while she’s on this conspiracy kick. Even Yashidi can be hard to pin down, but she was here last week.”

Ace: “Oh Cass was here last week.”

Ace winks. Autumn looks at him a bit confused.

Autumn: “You okay?”

Ace: “Fantastic. Now if you don’t mind…I’m going to keep giving myself a fun night. Not being champion is surprisingly hitting me hard.”

Ace turns and waves in such a way that it could be construed as him calling people to follow him or waving goodbye. He heads off as Autumn looks a bit confused and then concerned.

The scene cuts back to the announce position at ringside.

Sharper: “Autumn now has something to think about and that chaos coming back up again.”

Knots: “Yeah, but maybe some more loud conversations and now not from Lexy!”

Sharper: “Speaking of big conversations, I had the opportunity to speak with John Goddard and Chris Cannon earlier this week. And it ended with an interesting challenge. Take a look.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

The SCW Camera’s fade to black momentarily before returning to the confines of a studio. The SCW Logo sits on the wall behind Adam Sharper along with a large monitor, sitting opposite him is John “The Hellbilly” Goddard and Chris Cannon. The crowd’s cheers can be heard albeit this was pre-recorded earlier in the day. Sharper looks at the camera and welcomes the viewers. 

Sharper: “Welcome folks, as you know I’m Adam Sharper and today I have with me a man who hasn’t been seen in SCW for quite some time in John Goddard, and of course the man who we hadn’t seen since Rise to Greatness and subsequently Breakdown, Chris Cannon. Gentleman, it’s a pleasure.”

John Goddard nods, tipping his hat while Chris Cannon sits there remaining stoic, not really showing much emotion.

Goddard: “It’s an honor to be here Adam.”

Sharper: “Believe you me the honor is all mine. But we have a lot to cover so if you don't' mind, I'd like to get this thing started?”

Goddard: “Fine by me.”

Sharper looks at Chris Cannon, but again he says nothing. He only sighs. Adam Sharper taking the hint and beginning the interview.

Sharper: “Okay then. I’ll start with you John, you made a shocking return on the previous Breakdown during a moment your own daughter stood in the ring.”

LAST WEEK:

Suddenly, the opening beats of “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” by Johnny Cash starts to play. Minerva stops and turns as the crowd buzzes. A few moments pass before John “The Hellbilly” Goddard steps out from the back. He runs his hand across his face, microphone in his other hand. The crowd looks on, some cheering.

Sharper: “That’s John Goddard. Goddard who acted as a bit of a father figure to Peyton Rice a few years back.”

Lyman: “And Minerva’s father!”

Goddard starts to walk down to the ring as the crowd starts to make a bit more noise. Minerva turns to Drake and says something to him as Kandis and Tommy head over, confused. Minerva then steps up.

Minerva: “Father…didn’t expect you here! You should be back home! In Tombstone…”

Goddard reaches the ring. He then grabs the ropes and pulls himself onto the apron. Konrad then lunges forward before Minerva grabs his leash.

Goddard: “You best keep control of him or I’ll put him out to pasture.”

The crowd roars. Minerva pulls back on Konrad’s leash as Goddard then steps into the ring. He steps forward. Minerva looks around before looking at him.

Minerva: “Why are you here?”

Goddard: “You.”

We return to the interview. Goddard nods.

Sharper: “Quite a moment if I say so myself.” 

Goddard: “That It was.”

Sharper “So why now? Why that moment?”

Goddard lets out a sigh of his own while contemplating his answer, he looks to Cannon who is just sitting there silently. 

Goddard: “I was sick of what I've been seeing Adam. I wanted to do something when I saw the assault on Peyton Rice in this man's home. That was a tragic event which could have been avoided entirely. I went out of my way to visit her when she was in hospital to pay my respects and apologize for what happened…”

Sharper: “Apologize?”

Goddard: “Yes, I should have done something long before that could have happened, I had seen signs but chose to ignore them for whose daughter doesn’t act up. You want to know why that moment last week was better than any other? It’s really simple. After what happened to this man beside me at Rise to Greatness, I couldn’t stand by and watch any longer. I had to do something because things will only escalate further.”

Adam nods looking to Chris once again but he isn’t saying anything or has any inclination of wanting to talk. 

Goddard: “I went out there to talk to my baby girl, my daughter as a father should. But she wasn’t ready to listen to me. So she gave me no choice Adam, I didn’t want to do what I did next but she gave me no choice...”

Sharper: “Of course and that was the flower you pulled out from your jacket, correct? What was the significance of that?”

Goddard nods before reaching down to his side and pulling another similar flower from a leather satchel and shows it to Adam. 

Goddard: “The significance is this flower blooms in Tombstone, it was one my wife, Minerva’s dear mother had planted. God rest her soul. Now our ways might not make much sense to you all watching, but as the leader of our people to give one of these to someone meant to lay down a challenge. A no holds barred fight if you will and the prize is something I know my daughter covets, the opportunity to lead our people… If it were anyone else I would fight instead but I refuse to fight with my own kin, and because of that I’m afforded some liberties such as finding someone to fight in my stead.”

Sharper: “I see…”

Goddard: “These Jackals, this group she is a part of, they’re poisoning her mind, I can see that and I won’t stand by and just let this happen... I have seen things I do not like back home because of these people and I am going to put a stop to it once and for all… With the help of Chris here.”

Adam nods again and turns his attention to Cannon.

Sharper: “Which is a good segue for you Chris now I believe. Everyone would like to know is this why you approached John here, to help you wi-”

Before Adam could finish, Goddard holds his hand up interrupting. 

Goddard: “I want it to be known that Chris here did not approach me about any of this, I approached him. In fact, you could imagine what he told me, but we talked and I convinced him to help me. Minerva has yet to accept this challenge, but I know she will and once she does there will be some caveats before they eventually face, at Apocalypse.”

Sharper: “Oh?”

Goddard: “As part of our code, Chris and Minerva will not be allowed to touch the other…”

Suddenly Chris turns to Goddard with an annoyed look on his face.

Cannon: “Excuse me, that isn’t what we…”

Goddard: “I know what we discussed, and this is one thing that is non-negotiable. However, the rest of them are fair game for you to do whatever you want.” 

Sharper: “Okay then, so Chris how do you feel about that, it seems like you weren't aware of this caveat?”

Cannon leans back into the chair before he glares at Sharper and then to the camera.

Cannon: “How do I feel? That the time for talking is [bleep]ing over.”

Chris stands up and starts to remove the mini microphone which was attached to his shirt and throws it down before walking out of the camera’s view. John Goddard just shrugs his shoulders to Adam mouthing the words “god help em” as the camera fades back to ringside with Adam Sharper, Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Goddard was as intense a man as I’ve seen and Chris Cannon then dwarfed that.”

Lyman: “Looks like the old man though has some tricks and even Chris didn’t know about them. The question now is if Minerva will accept.”

Sharper: “I can’t see her not accepting after how serious that is for her culture. Her father’s culture. But in one night we learned more about Minerva, about where she came from, but I’ll add this…Chris Cannon is a changed man and if this match happens, Minerva and Chris Cannon could be another fight we never forget here in SCW.”

Knots: “I just hope they know what they’re doing!”

Sharper: “Me too, Jon. Me too.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as “The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays in the background. We then see a still of Kennedy Street vs. Adam Allocco.

Sharper: “But next, here on Breakdown, we return to the ring as Kennedy Street makes her in-ring Breakdown return against Adam Allocco.”

Knots: “Go Kennie go!”

Lyman: “What condition is Adam going to be in?”

Sharper: “We’ll find out, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Kennedy Street vs. Adam Allocco

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Rochester, NY.! Weighing in at 225 Pounds…. Accompanied to the ring by Bison and Anastasia….. ADAM ALLOCCO!!!

A single beam of golden light is cast down upon the center of the stage, right before the curtains leading to the backstage. Some glittering confetti falls down the glowing pillar of light, catching silvery reflections. During the light show, the rough guitar chords of “Wired'' by JJ Wilde strikes the sound system. Adam steps out, SCW Tag Team Championship proudly displayed around his waist. He suddenly drops to his knees in the center of the spotlight. He raises his arms, almost as if he’s calling out to God.

“Fast cars good life what you waiting for?
Grow up perfect life knocking at your door
I’ve been working for myself since seventeen
Taking orders getting low on self-esteem”

Adam stands, shoots a pose, flexing his biceps before kicking his foot up into the air, then shakes it until it comes steady at the top of the stage. He starts down the ring, the spotlight following him. In the darkness behind him, Bison and Anastasia are visible.

“Wake up, same clothes, off I go to hell again
Making money, sinking when I’m trying to swim
I’m tired but I know a guy that has a cure for that
I’m wired, that’s the only way that I stay golden….”

Adam struts up the ring steps, now whipping the championship off, then posing once more against the ropes out on the apron. He kicks up and over and lands on his feet. He tosses the belt to the referee nonchalantly. 

“There’s something better than this
I crack my teeth, bite down and grab it
Need something better than this
Break through the prison of my habits”

Adam waves for the crowd to cheer him, only getting some jeers instead. Adam ignores any negative reaction, settling down in the corner, focused on this match. Meanwhile, Bison and Anastasia watch from ringside.

Sharper: Adam Allocco looks to get back on track and we could see that he has a more serious tone though Adam felt embarrassed at Rise to Greatness, tonight he faces the woman that was victorious at Rise To Greatness in her return, Kennedy Street.

Simon: I think it is safe to say all of us are very familiar with Kennedy and know her well in and outside of the ring, but Adam has something to prove tonight, he is a veteran, Kennedy has wrestled one match in two years, this could be a trap match.

Knots: Kennie is ready, look what she did at RTG, and Adam, sure he has Bison and Anastasia but Kennie is too smart, too determined and besides, she is Flawless!

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back.....

She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the robe showing off her beautiful body in her wrestling gear that leaves little to the imagination…..

Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk; she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. Then suddenly Brittany Lohan emerges from the fireworks and stands next to Kennedy who starts to giggle, they fist pump and make their way to the ring. The crowd cheers, some boo, looking over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them, posing along the way to entice them a bit by blowing kisses and high fiving fans....

She continues to make her way down to the ring, giving the fans a show with her outpouring charisma and sexiness, arriving at the apron, where Brittany hoists her up, she then slowly starts crawling in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the flash photography as the crowd roars, Brittany staring at Bison and Anastasia….

Phillips: “From Beverly Hills, CA. weighing in 118 pounds, she is “The Sexy Flawless Diva” Kennedy Street!”

Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner, extending her long muscular legs, doing her pre-match stretches, flipping back her long blonde hair and turns around to lean against the corner ready for the match to start and talking with the referee getting a smile out of him with her flirtatious charm….

Sharper: Brittany Lohan is out here with Kennedy Street!? What is going on here!?

Knots: Even I don’t know. Kennie never told me about this, and after everything that has been going on with Nicole, I have no idea what is going on.

Simon: Kennedy is always thinking ahead, the question is, we know the history between her and Ducky, but when it comes to Kennedy, maybe she needed some backup? Either way I think Kennedy was taking some shots at all counts.

Kennedy and Adam are staring at each other, he is admiring her beauty and she knows it. Brushing her hair back, she looks at the referee as he checks on Adam and then Kennedy before calling for the bell and starting the match. They both circle the ring, but Kennedy stops and looks out to the crowd, licking her lips as the crowd cheers, some boo, Adam looks a bit impatient.

Sharper: Adam looks to want and admire the beauty, but he has to keep his head in the game.

Simon: And we have seen that in the past be a detriment to him.

Knots: Do you blame him!?

Simon: No.

Kennedy brushes her hair back as they lock up, she get6s a side headlock, Adam pushes her into the ropes but she bounces back, shoulder block knocking her down as Adam smirks and struts a little, she scurries to the corner looking a bit irritated, standing back up, they lock up again, this time Adam puts Kennedy in the headlock, but she whips him into the ropes, he comes back with another shoulder block but this time Kennedy side steps, trips Adam up, he stumbles, turns back into a huge dropkick, he falls to the ropes, then into Kennedy with a Belly to Belly suplex…

Simon: Kennedy showing some power for her small frame with a Belly to Belly and she didn’t miss a step especially after RTG!

Knots: Simon, come on! Aside from me, no one else knows Kennedy better than you, movies or not she has always stayed in the greatest shape, matter of fact, she is in the greatest shape of her life right now!

Sharper: Kennedy has taken over, she runs against the ropes, and here we go with he famous Street Staple early in the match!

Kennedy hits a leg drop, rolls back to her feet and hits another, then rolls back to her feet and hits one more, she quickly gets back up and waits as Adam is slowly moving, she runs against the ropes, Bulldog, no Adam catches her into a backdrop, he hooks the legs…

1!

Kennedy quickly kicks out!

Adam back up, he grabs her by the hair, whipping her into the turnbuckle, but she reveres, only for Adam to reverse and she hits hard, he charges in, but Kennedy gets her foot up, Adam runs right into it, stumbling back, she hops on the second rope with a Moonsault on top of Adam hooking the leg for the cover…

1!

2!

Adam Kicks out!

Sharper: Bison looked like he was ready to rush in and try to maybe break up the pin but look at Brittany Lohan! She is almost face to face with Bison and Anastasia is hiding behind him!

Simon: Kennedy has an equalizer now and Brittany Lohan is as dangerous as they come, Kennedy made a smart pick in that one!

Knots: It concerns me a little, but I trust Kennedy and everything that she does.

Simon: You should, she’s your wife.

Kennedy wastes no time, she runs against the ropes, Mafia Kick, No! Adam ducks it, she turns into a quick STO! Adam picks her up by the hair and viciously throws her into the turnbuckle. He plants his foot on her neck trying to choke her out as the referee quickly makes the count….

1!

2!

3!

4!

Adam breaks the choke only to plant his foot on her neck again and continue this time with even more aggressiveness…

1!

2!

3!

4!

Brittany Lohan jumps on the Apron and Adam quickly scurries and falls to the mat trying to get away from her, Bison turns the corner, and both are face to face again as the referee is trying to regain control, warning both parties that if they do it again he will eject them all. Adam with his attention toward everything, he goes back to Kennedy who kicks him in the groin while the referee wasn’t watching.

Sharper: LOW BLOW BY KENNEDY STREET! I did not expect that from her!

Simon I didn’t either, it may not have been intentional, either way Adam crumbled to the mat! She has the strongest legs in the business, and if he isn’t spitting out blood, he’s lucky!

Knots: She…. She had her reasons. He was cheating too!

Kennedy gets back to her feet with a smirk on her face, she points to Bison and Anastasia, the referee turns and Kennedy drops digging her nails into the eyes of Adam, she then starts choking him out, the referee turns and starts the count….

1!

Kennedy breaks it, fixing her hair, you can see her look at the referee and say, “Sorry Honey”, then paces some as Adam is in a lot of trouble, he looks blinded as Kennedy, scrambling to get on his knees and Godiva’s Kiss hits and Adam looks to be out, Kennedy with the cover as she points to Simon Lyman…

1!

2!

3…. NO!

Adam Kicks Out!

Simon: A tribute to Donovan Kayl’s Point Blank and for a second there I thought she almost had him but there is still life in Adam Allocco!

Knots: Wait… Kennedy is arguing with the referee!

Sharper: I think she is letting this match get to her.

Kennedy slaps her hands fast for a three count as the referee holds up two fingers. Shye calms down and smiles at the referee and winks, his facial expressions soften a little. Kennedy picks up Adam, whips him into the ropes, she runs the other way, Adam with a Spear that almost cuts Kennedy in half, he pulls her up by the hair, hooking her leg, Trifecta Climaxa and he finishes the triple fisherman’s suplexes with the bridge…

1!

2!

3… NO!

Shoulder Up By Kennedy!

Now Adam is looking up at the referee slamming his hands repeatedly to the mat but again he holds up two fingers. Adam starts to hit Kennedy with closed fists to the face, she tries to block them, most are successful, a few get in as Adam grabs her by the legs and tries to turn her into a Boston Crab, slowly placing his knee on the back of her head, Kennedy screams in pain trying to reach the ropes….

Knots: Come on Kennie! Get to the ropes, use your strong legs!

Simon: Look at Brittany Lohan! She is trying to reach in, but the referee is right there to stop her!

Sharper: What is Kennedy doing!? She is reaching to his leg, digging her nails in!

Knots: KENNIE CLAWS!

Kennedy digs into his leg with her nails and Adam screams, he keeps the hold on but loosens it, she is able to use her strong legs to push him off, as Adam lands face first in the mat, but he is quickly back up, charges Kennedy who is up as well holding her neck, knee strike by Adam and Kennedy is down, he quickly goes for a cover!

1!

2!

Kennedy Kicks Out!

Adam looks to Bison as his meaty partner slams the apron signaling to finish her! Adam waits as Kennedy sits up; he runs to kick her in the back of the head… The Enlightenment…. NO! Kennedy quickly moved out of the way, Adam stumbles forward, The Apple of My Eye! Her foot directly into Adam’s Jaw as she falls back and jumps down for the cover!

1!

2!

3…. NO!

Bison put the foot of Adam on the ropes!

Sharper: Bison reached in and grabbed Adam’s foot to save this match!

Knots: This should have been over! Kennedy had the match won and Bison came through and look at Brittany! She is pleading with the referee as Kennedy sees that his attention is on Brittany!

Simon: Kennedy is looking to finish this now!

Adam slowly gets up on his fours, she runs against the ropes for the Pedicure, but Anastasia grabs her leg, Kennedy turns and kicks her right in the face as she falls back! Turns around and Adam is up, Small package and he hooks the tights!

1!

2!

Kennedy rolls it over as both of them are down!

1!

2!

3!

The referee calls for the bell!

Simon: Kennedy did it! She reversed the Small package, and the fans were given a small treat of your wife’s bum.

Knots: You had to go there!

Sharper: Wait… the referee is talking to the announcer. Kennedy is up with her arms raised, Adam is on his knees with his arms raised, what is going on. Kennedy is pointing to her wrist telling the referee to raise her arm, but he is talking to Phillips….

Phillips: Ladies and Gentlemen the referee has informed me that both competitors shoulders were down, he rules this match a DRAW!

Knots: What!? His shoulders were down!

Simon: We are looking at the replay and right at the three count it looks like her shoulders were down too when she reversed it, maybe a weight shift, the referee called it right

Sharper: I don’t think Kennedy and Adam care, they are both claiming Victory!

Bison raises Adam’s arm, but the referee is shaking his head, no. Kennedy though is standing there brushing her hair back with Brittany Lohan checking on her. She nods, as the referee signals a draw but Kennedy whispers in his ear, his eyes widen as he turns to her, she points at her wrist as he begrudgingly raises her arm, she smiles and laughs even though the match is a draw. She then turns to Phillips and talks to him as Adam gets out of the ring heading to the back with his arms raised, Bison carrying Anastasia who is a little woozy from the Kennedy kick….

Phillips: But still YOUR Sexy Flawless Diva of the SCW…. KENNEDY STREET!

Kennedy bows to the fans, fanning herself while saying “Thank You!”….

Sharper: The match was a draw but Kennedy sure is treating this as a win, and maki8ng sure the entire SCW knows that she is the Sexy Flawless Diva.

Simon: Well, she is, but as we saw, the match technically is a draw. Adam is claiming victory, Kennedy is claiming victory, but in the record books it will be a draw.

Knots: Kennedy wins!

Simon: It’s okay, we don’t want you getting in trouble.

Kennedy poses in the ring with Brittany Lohan as Adam keeps backing up with his entourage raising his arms up while she laughs and Brittany holds her arm up.

Backstage, Jordan Majors walks down one of the hallways, over to Dean Black.

Jordan: “Dean, can I quickly ask you a question?”

Dean glances up from his clipboard and turns to her.

Dean: “Please make it quick. A lot on the go.”

Jordan: “Of course…just…you saw the footage. What was it?’

Dean: “Nothing. You just saw Nicole attacked from behind, just the follow through, namely her going down and head first into the wall. Nothing else. Only an arm. And I’m not about to start asking for footage blowing things up on the hope we can find a mole out of place.”

Jordan: “So only the immediately period before the attack, right?”

Dean: “Yeah. That’s all security gave to me when I put in the request.”

Jordan: “Think you can get it for the whole day?”

Dean: “What are you thinking?”

Jordan: “You said blind spots when talking to Brittany. I know you’ve got a lot on your plate. It’s the only reason I’m not more angry right now. Maybe they knew. See if someone looks weird on tape.”

Dean: “Look, it may be hard. That’s going to them and asking for tapes and back-ups. SCW right now-“

Jordan: “I’ve got the money if you need it to happen. I just want to focus on one thing…facing Nicole. Without any extra BS. So if this clears my name so we can get what we both want…I’ll even pay for it. Tell them we’ll donate it to the arena to help cover a reno. I don’t care. Just I have a hunch…and I had a hunch when Nicole and I fought at Taking Hold of the Flame. That should’ve worked out. It didn’t because someone is screwing me over. Screwing her over. And I want to know who before Nicole and I get our rematch.”

Dean sighs.

Dean: “I’ll put in a call and follow up.”

Jordan: “Thank you. I owe you one.”

Jordan turns and heads off as the scene fades to black.

As inspiring music begins to play, the scene opens. Several people in business attire huddle around talking and laughing, looking like they enjoy their job and are overly happy. A voice Over begins to speak as the video package continues to play showing scenes of several United States monuments and sites, then right into several downtown’s like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas all of its business buildings transitioning to those that work for Mason Corp.

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.

Sharper: “Good lord. Even more crew with her.”

Knots: “Guess being a champion and having a part of the housewives cast has perks!”

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. As she 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 the ring ready to capture everything. Holly then asks for a microphone. Phillips hands her one and she takes it. We then have one of the crewmembers come over and do something to the microphone, seemingly splitting it off into their feed, before handing the microphone back.

Sharper: “Oh Good. We’ll hear this in two formats.”

Lyman: “I wonder how the Housewives viewers enjoy Holly.”

Knots: “Saw a recent poll that some actually like her. It’s a miracle if you ask me. But they probably want some quality life coaching which is really hard to find.”

Holly walks over to the middle of the ring. The crowd boos her as she looks around.

Holly: “That’s right! Your new Supreme Champion is here!”

Sharper: “Uh…”

Knots: “Nope. Just don’t bite, Sharper! Don’t bite!”

Holly: “With my amazing victory over Shilo Valiant, Dumpster Fire and Identity Crisis, I am your REIGNING Adrenaline Champion. And with my life coaching services, I am on top of the world. I’m everyone’s favourite housewife…which really isn’t that hard. I’m everyone’s favourite life coach. Did you see what I did with Cid tonight? He’s walking around, big you know what swinging, and everyone’s taking notice of him. Confidence brimming. All me!”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Have we even seen Holly and Cid in the same room since Rise to Greatness?”

Holly smiles.

Holly: “But most importantly, people know how good I am. Look at me. I’ve now held multiple titles and I can confidently say I’m the SCW Adrenaline Champion. And that’s all because I not only believed in myself, but had to dig deep inside of me, find all of my own inner confidence to deal with three people who wanted to maim me to take this title from hanging above the ring and pull it down. And don’t get me wrong…I’m all for competition, but hanging things from ceilings and pulling them down isn’t my idea of that. That may pass off for competition in the two-bit circus Shilo was in, or in terms of the our duties Datura had listed on application to Starbucks, but not in Holly’s world. Oh no…Plus, they didn’t get any good angles. I’m trying to make money here!”

One of the camera crew says something.

Holly: “No good angles! It was terrible. And you’d think SCW would have something in place to help me bring more eyes to their product.”

Holly shakes her head.

Holly: “Oh well. I just have to add production assistant to my credits. Why? Because there’s nothing I can do and trust me, I’ll do it better than most. Like being Adrenaline Champion. I’m already scheduled to face off against someone who DESERVED a shot at the title, not just returned and offered a mocha latte to the boss and got a shot. That first defense is against Crystal Zdunich, but we can’t all start off on the right foot. I mean I know she won a four way to get here, but let’s face it, even a blind squirrel can find a nut from time to time and Crystal and I have a LOOOOOOOOOONG history. One that involves me humiliating her time and time again. It’s really a shame. Crystal. This finally could’ve been your moment to get ahead and now, the Burning Rose…I don’t know why she’s advertising her personal problems….is going to have to run into the Supreme Champion and I’m just hoping you can get up again.”

The crowd boos as she steps up.

Holly: “Look! I’m a humanitarian. I’ve worked with the potentially homeless, like Cid Turner. I’ve even tried to teach idiots about the real world, right Ace? Seriously, get some help. Thinking I promised to do ANYTHING with you. That’s LONG passed. But it’s because I CARE. I care DEEPLY. And I’m worried I’m going to send Crystal Zdunich on a downward spiral. I just don’t know if I can have that on my conscience. But I’m willing to find out and Crystal. You’re first up. If I believed in fate, I would say this is good evidence, but just sounds like you’ve got some bad luck. But that’s fine…maybe you’ll learn a thing or two being in the ring with me. Like some free coaching!”

Holly smiles before suddenly the entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness. All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.

"YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE... THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!!!"

As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros.

Smile Bomb by 17thekid plays across the speakers. Crystal Zdunich walks out from the back. Holly turns and one of the cameras turns to film her. Holly snaps at them before pointing at herself. Crystal walks to the ring and then looks in the ring.

Sharper: “Zdunich indeed is first in line to face Holly and she’s focused. She went through three competitors at Rise to Greatness weekend to get this opportunity.”

Lyman: “But now she has to hold on and take it. She needs to come through.”

Crystal stops for a moment before walking around the ring. Holly watches her, but also the camera crew, making sure all are filming her. Crystal then heads over to Jason Phillips. She takes a microphone from him. Crystal turns to walk up the steel steps, but as she gets to the ring, Holly starts to move the camera crew around. Holly just smiles and waves at her. Crystal looks at her, unimpressed. Crystal’s music fades out as the crowd boos.

Holly: “Sorry! They just need to get the best angle and that’s head on. Just stand there. It’s fine…”

Crystal: “We’re going to play it this way, then, huh?”

Crystal smirks.

Crystal: “So afraid to share a ring with me knowing that I’ve got all of the motivation in the world. All of the promises from last year, all of the two-facedness…and best of all, I knock you down a peg or two just by winning that title.”

Holly: “Look! Crystal. Sorry…they need to get good footage. SCW isn’t helping them out. Is the lighting okay? Is it? Okay, good…just…you’re doing great. What did you say? Hmm?”

Crystal: “Are you serious? Are you just-“

Holly: “Hey! Jim! Don’t be looking at the crowd. Over here!”

Holly walks over and gets the attention of some of off in the opposite corner. Crystal turns to the crowd as they boo Holly. Crystal then shrugs, throwing the microphone behind her before springboarding to the top rope. She then twists through as the camera crew turns to filming Crystal. Holly turns back as Crystal dives off, lands on Holly’s shoulders and snaps her off with a frankensteiner. The crowd erupts in cheers as Holly hits the mat and rolls to the floor. One of the camera crew members grab her title as Crystal Zdunich turns and looks at her as the crowd cheers. Holly looks around. The camera crew starts to, as fast as they, exit the ring, to gather around Holly and get her reaction.

Sharper: “Zdunich keeping Holly’s attention her own way!”

Knots: “Do they still have her right angle!?”

Holly backs up and pushes one of the camera people out of her way as she backs up. Crystal stands in the ring as her music plays again. Holly backs up and then leans on the barricade before turning and pulling away as we see a fan dressed similarly to Datura, complete with a Datura shirt. Holly backs away and then yells for her title. The crewmember hands it to her. She then straightens herself up before holding her title up. The Housewives cameracrew keeps filming her as Crystal motions for the belt.

Backstage, Syren can be seen standing next to Jessica Winters backstage.

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and I’m with Syren, and Syren, it’s been a newsworthy night for you. Things getting personal between Frost and A/C Unit and you, you’ve even put aside your long-time differences with Selena to work with her against them. But now…we’re seeing Cid Turner is still smitten with you and is now apparently fighting your wife, Ravyn Taylor, tonight for your honour. What do you have to say about that?”

Syren looks down and shakes her head.

Syren: “What do I have to say about it? The man clearly is either deluded or he’s naïve…If he wasn’t as good of a wrestler as he was, I’d be even more upset about losing at Rise to Greatness. Even if I wasn’t married, which I am…and happily…I wouldn’t have a damn thing to do with him thanks to his friendship with the man who tried to end my career. So if he’s just looking to add to the anger I have…he can try.”

Winters: “So, just for clarity – there’s no chance you act on whatever Cid is trying?”

Syren: “Given that I’m working with the woman I hope beats him at Apocalypse…not a hope in hell. And I told Ravyn back in June, that I’d fight my own battles. We may be going in different directions professionally, but I can’t wait to see what she’ll do to him.”

Syren turns and heads off. Jessica nods.

Winters: “Back to ringside.”

Jessica Tremor vs. Diamond Steele

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first....”

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

Phillips: “Weighing in at 110 pounds, accompanied by the Gemstones and husband Teddy Steele, from London, England… Diamond Steele!”

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

Knots: “Once again, Diamond’s out here with her band, and they’re trying to get the crowd into their 1980s retro music.”

Lyman: “Glad to see that Diamond has a positive support system, you don’t see that all the time in professional wrestling.”

Sharper: “Too often when we see such an entourage, you gotta wonder if they’re going to try to get involved. Not this time.”

Knots: “They look innocent enough.”

The Lights of the arena go dark, as a low whirring sound begins to overtake the speakers, the walkway begins to glow blue, sweeping upwards from the ring towards the stage, lighting one section at a time. As it reaches its peak a Gigantic Monster Crashes through the Tron, cast in 3D from certain angles as a Great Roar overtakes the Arena. As the Music begins to charge through the speakers, The Tron flashes Yellow, Blue, Green, Red, flickering between colour and static. Lasers and smoke begin to fill the arena as a Neon outline steps throug the curtain, her figure momentarily outlined before disappearing. The smoke is thick, she appears again, Neon lights tracing up her arms, a Set of LED's Illuminate her face, shining from the collar of her Jacket. At home the fans are greeted with Crumbling Buildings over the Stage, mixed with the Image of a Terrifying Creature crashing through, all done in spectacular CGI.  As the drums break in she begins making her way towards the ring, a baseball bat slung over her shoulder. Talking trash to the fans at either side, some of whom take it well, other's return her hatred with middle fingers and receipts.

Phillips: “And her opponent, making her SCW in-ring debut, weighing at 127 pounds, she is Jessica Tremor!”

Jessica steps up the stairs and climbs up onto the turnbuckle, looking dominantly down at the crowd below. She drops down from the turnbuckle after a few seconds, taking in all the reactions the crowd has to offer. She leaps from the ring, pulling up the apron, pulling a long, Exposed, 1/0 welding cable, she throws it into the corner of the ring near the pole. Reaching back underneath the ropes produces a car Battery and Jumper Cables, the crowd pops as she slings the cables wildly over her shoulder, lifting the Battery into the air. She slides it into the ring next to the wires, jumping back into the ring, swinging the jumper cables around.

Sharper: “I’ve seen footage of this young woman and she is tough as nails.”

Lyman: “Known for having the stopping power you’d find in a heavyweight boxer, you have to wonder if her prosthetic limbs have anything to do with that.”

Knots: “Can’t believe she’s allowed to wrestle with those! Definitely not street legal, if you get my drift.”

Sharper: “SCW is a very open minded and diverse company. We don’t care if you’re missing limbs, we care if you can hold your ground against the best wrestlers in the world, and I think you’ll be surprised. Jessica Tremor is a very talented fighter.”

Referee orders Jessica to set aside her goodies. Tremor argues with the referee about that directive, feigning innocent intent with the cables but also motioning towards the band located at ringside. The referee kicks the cables and lifts the car battery, handing it to a member of the ring crew. While distracted, Jessica Tremor ambushes Diamond Steele with a bicycle kick that connects right in the head. Steele is down already. Teddy Steele jumps onto the apron, upset tat the cheap shot and referee comes hurrying over to order him away. When the referee turns around, he sees the opponents already fighting, mainly Jessica Tremor driving elbows into the side of Diamond’s head as she sat there on that mat.

Knots: “Tremor is aggressive that’s for sure!”

Sharper: “She took advantage of the referee’s good intentions and right now Diamond is paying for the referee’s honest mistake.”

Lyman: “I hate cheap shots as much as the next guy, but you can’t keep your guard down when you’re standing in an SCW ring. People are ruthless in this sport.”

Diamond shoves Jessica back with a palm thrust to the chin. Diamond stands up quickly, knocking into Jessica Tremor with an european uppercut. She runs the distance of the ring, but Jessica pursues, times a STO takedown right when Diamond bounces off the ropes. Jessica Tremor mounts her and begins to drive some punches. Referee warns about the closed fists Jessica stands and shouts. Diamond rolls over, holding her head, seeking the ropes for support. She climbs to her feet. Jessica comes up behind her, grabbing her around the waist but Diamond swings back with an elbow of her own. Jessica falters. Diamond again looks to use the ropes for momentum but once more, Jessica catches her, hopping onto her shoulders right on the rebound and tossing Diamond out through the middle ropes into the Gemstone with a headscissors takedown.

Knots & Lyman: “Wow!”

Sharper: “Jessica showing incredible control. That was intentional, folks. She wanted to eject Diamond from the ring. She’s not playing around here!”

Knots: “At least, Diamond had her fellow band members to soften the fall.”

Being helped up by her husband, Diamond gets a pep talk, staring down Jessica. Jessica waves Diamond to reenter the ring and she does so. She slides in underneath the bottom rope and up to her feet. Jessica greets her with a barrage of elbows. Jessica lowers her shoulder, plows through strikes. She scoops Jessica up and takes her down to the mat. She spins like a top on Jessica’s chest and goes to pull Jessica into a neck submission but Jessica spirals, both ladies rolling to their feet. Jessica lowers her shoulder this time but Diamond leapfrogs over. She springsboards off the ropes with a crossbody takedown that catches Jessica off guard. Diamond bounces up to her fee after the landing. Jessica Tremor nips up, throws a clothesline but Diamond ducks underneath, pele kick connects and Jessica lands into the corner. Diamond lets out a war cry before running forward, yakuza kick connects and Jessica drops down to the bottom rung.

Sharper: “No pin attempts. No submissions locked. Fast-paced, hard hitting action, both women came out swinging here.”

Lyman: “It’s almost like we’re watching a MMA fight, lots of elbows and kicks.”

Sharper: “This is what I think of want I think about the Adrenaline championship here in SCW, maybe one day one of these two women will come to hold that title and more!”

Diamond dives down with a running knee to Jessica in the corner. Jessica slumps over. Diamond waves for her to get up, the crowd starting to get invested in the momentum shift.  Jessica finds here feet. Diamond attempts the Diamond Cutter, but Jessica shoves her forward, but yanks her around, snap overhead release belly-to-belly suplex drops Diamond in the center of the ring!

Lyman: “The strength Jessica Tremor possesses is on display there! Big things come in small packages.”

Knots: “Stop sucking up to these women, Simon. They’re not going to sleep with you!”

Sharper: “So close, but Diamond gets the shoulder up. These two up-and-comers are getting the attention of the fans in the crowd, but I’m sure the people at home are getting excited to see what these two women have to offer.”

Teddy Steele slaps the canvas, trying to rally his wife back into this match. Some members of the crowd joins in. Diamond Steele stands on her own in the middle of the ring. Jessica Tremor flies forward to greet her. Steele sidesteps the charge, slaps Jessica on the back and pushes her into the ropes. Jessica rebounds. Diamond leapfrogs over her. Jessica handsprings into the ropes, bounces back, attempting to connect with an elbow strike but Diamond catches her, executes a german suplex.

Sharper: “Jessica is not the only one with some power to her game.”

Knots: “She drops Diamond unceremoniously on that head. I thought she was one of the good guys, so explain that, Lyman.”

Lyman: “She’s trying to show Jessica Tremor that she can be intimidated. But I agree, instead of patting yourself on the back, go for the pin, Diamond!”

Finally, Diamond backs up into the rope before dropping down for a legdrop but Jessica Tremore rolls out of the ring. Diamond pops back up after the miss, rushes to attack Jessica, but Jessica tosses her face first into the turnbuckle. Jessica grabs her head and starts violently smashing it against the turnbuckle. Referee’s complaining but the crowd starts counting.

Knots: “Like out of some twisted sesame street number game, the crowd loves to count along!”

Sharper: “And Jessica’s not done yet!”

Jessica pumps her arms, leaps over her opponent onto the second turnbuckle. She connects with the Kanabo! She falls down atop of Diamond, counts the pin along with the referee.

Sharper: “Cover!”

Lyman: “Jessica Tremor comes away with an impressive start to her SCW career. She was everything you advertised her to be, Sharper. Hard hitting and strong.”

Knots: “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Sure, Jessica Tremor looked amazing out here tonight but I’m going to need to see more before I hail her at the next big thing!”

Sharper: “While Teddy Steele and the Gemstones tend to their defeated friend, Jessica Tremor is celebrating her first win.”

Phillips: “The winner of the match, by pin fall, Jessica Tremor!”

Tremor gets up and has her arm raised. She looks around as the crowd responds to her win. Her music plays throughout the arena as we cut backstage.

Backstage, Xander Valentine is talking to Dean Black.

Xander: “You don’t know anything.”

Dean: “I’m sorry, Xander. But I don’t. James….as far as I know is still out. That’s not what I deal with.”

Xander: “Then get me a match with Christy. You know I need this.”

Dean: “Xander…I don’t know if you need it. Maybe this is just a bit of karma. Maybe that’s what it is.”

Xander looks at Dean.

Dean: “I don’t have the ability to book matches if I wanted to anyway. So Xander, you’re going to have to be in the dark for a bit.”

Dean steps back and heads off. Xander turns and sighs as Artemis looks at him.

Xander: “We’ll have to find another way.”

Xander walks off as Artemis follows and the scene fades to black.

Gavin Taylor vs. Kimberly Williams

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

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

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California, the All-Star, Gavin Taylor!”

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

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope. Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out. Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes as he watches for his opponent.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor stunning us last week by attacking Ricky James after he seemingly moved on from Rudy Powell and Lucy Huckabee Sanders.”

Knots: “We heard him earlier. He wants accountability. Ricky James did some terrible things to him last year and Gavin’s not forgotten!”

The opening chords of “Paranoid” begin to play. Kimberly Williams steps out onto the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, the Woman Scorned, Kimberly Williams!”

She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Kimberly then poses in the center of the ring to another loud reaction from the fans. The music slowly dies down and Kimberly goes to a corner to await the start of the match. She looks at Gavin as Gavin stretches out.

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams meanwhile striking out on her own. Jessica Lasiewicz has elected to move on for the time being, disappointed by not winning Tag Team Championship.”

Knots: “Yeah, but no one can control Kim!”

Lyman: “She could be controlled before?!”

The bell sounds. Kim then runs out before juking back. Gavin flinches a bit, before looking on annoyed. He spins around and the two lock up, before Kim turns and bites Gavin’s arm. The crowd roars. Gavin pulls away and Kim then nails him with a forearm shot. Gavin falls to the ropes. Kim grabs him and whips him across, but Gavin spins through and sends Kim in. She bounces off and Gavin goes to grab her, but Kim slides underneath before getting up and quickly hitting a snapmare on Gavin. Gavin rolls through and Kim goes for a kick, but Gavin rolls to the floor. He backs up and looks up. (1) Kim just smiles and waves.

Sharper: “And Kim Williams quickly throwing a lot at Gavin. He doesn’t know where it’s coming from!”

Knots: “Gavin getting some distance to hopefully slow this down. Kim just enjoying herself.”

Gavin walks around the ring. (2) Kim smiles as the crowd cheers for her and Gavin turns and rolls into the ring. He gets up and Kim turns and the two lock up again. Gavin turns and moves into a side headlock. Gavin pulls back and gets Kim to the ropes before firing her off. Kim bounces off and Gavin shoulders her down. Gavin runs into the ropes. Kim rolls towards him and Gavin hops over. Kim gets up and Gavin bounces off, leading to a leapfrog. Kim lands and Gavin bounces off the other side and Kim hits a high knee. Gavin staggers to the ropes. He turns and Kim hits a dropkick. Gavin hits the mat. Kim goes for the pin.

Gavin kicks out. Both get up and Kim grabs Gavin, going for a headlock takedown, but Gavin blocks it and then hoists Kim up and hits a back suplex into a backbreaker. Kim rolls over in pain. Gavin walks around.

Lyman: “Talk about stopping momentum. Just hoisting her and dropping her across his knee!”

Sharper: “Kim hurt from it. Gavin knows he did some damage!”

Kim starts to get up and Gavin runs over and stomps her in the back and then again before grabbing her and hoisting her up. He quickly hits a high angle back suplex. He then rolls over and hooks the leg.

Kim staggers back to the corner. Gavin then walks over, kicking her in the ribs before whipping her across. Gavin runs across and Kim gets a boot up as Gavin staggers out. Kim then turns and jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a back kick, knocking Gavin down. But as she does this, we see Lucy Huckabee Sanders step out from the back with Rudy Powell before motioning to him to hurry up. He turns and looks at her before turning and waddling down to the ring. Kim doesn’t see them, instead hitting a lionsault onto Gavin. She hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Pin by Kim Williams, but we’re not alone!”

Gavin kicks out. He rolls over.

Lyman: “What are they doing out here?”

Knots: “Maybe looking to recruit! Did they not hear him?”

Lyman: “Not like it would matter to them.”

Gavin stirs as Kim turns and stomps him in the back. He rolls over to the ropes and Kim stomps him again as Rudy waddles to the ring. Kim just stops and looks at him. Rudy just holds his hands up before turning and pointing to Gavin. Gavin turns, leaning on the ropes and looks out. Rudy walks over.

Rudy: “Mr. Taylor. You and I need to be talking. As you see-“

Gavin swings and Rudy jukes back, before slipping and falling. The crowd roars. Kim just smirks. Gavin then gets up and turns and swings at Kim, but Kim ducks and then grabs his head and hits a neckbreaker. She goes for the pin.

Rudy: “Mr. Taylor, I represent Ricky James and the lies and slander you delivered against us as a group-“

Gavin: “Shut the hell up!”

The crowd roars. Gavin turns around and grabs Kim. Kim however hits a jawbreaker. Gavin falls over to the ropes. Rudy then turns to him again.

Rudy: “I will not be ignored!”

Kim: “He said shut up!”

The crowd roars and Kim then grabs Gavin’s legs and hoists them up before falling back, slingshotting him into the middle rope. The crowd ohs. Gavin rolls over in pain. Kim goes for the pin.

Gavin rolls his shoulder up. Rudy then glances at Lucy who motions for him to keep going before Rudy goes to the steel steps and starts to climb up, grabbing the ringpost, before reaching into his blazer and pulling out some folded up, yet soaking, papers. Kim turns and looks at him before Rudy again points to Gavin. Kim meanwhile just grabs the papers from Rudy. Rudy yells at her and tries to get them back. Kim just holds her hand out, shaking her finger before looking at them. She then smiles before ripping them up. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Well Kim as unpredictable as ever, ripping up Rudy’s papers for Gavin, I guess!”

Knots: “Or she just hates lawyers!”

Lyman: “Don’t we all!”

Rudy just looks at Kim annoyed before Gavin gets up and runs at Kim and pushes her into Rudy. Rudy falls off and down to the floor before Gavin pulls Kim back with a roll up.

The crowd roars and some boo as Kim rolls over as Gavin gets up.

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

Kim then turns and rolls to the floor as Rudy gets up and scrambles back, falling over ungracefully to the mats.

Sharper: “I don’t know if that’s what Rudy had in mind, but he just helped Gavin win!”

Lyman: “Gavin probably feels dirty!”

Lucy Huckabee Sanders throws her arms up and starts to head to the ring, but as she does, she stops as we see Ricky James walking along the floor and climbing up onto the rampway. Kim turns as she turns to the ring and then to the rampway as Ricky James ignores Lucy entirely. He steps over Rudy and then rolls into the ring as Gavin gets up and brings his fists up. Ricky however walks past him and demands a microphone.

Sharper: “Ricky James coming out here and he’s not coming to fight. He’s coming to talk.”

Knots: “How he used to do things? He didn’t look at Lucy though and stepped over Rudy.”

Lucy looks on as Ricky is handed a microphone. Gavin turns as we see Karl and Jack Barker starting to head down to the ring, also running right past Lucy. Lucy turns to them and snaps at them, but they ignore him. The Barkers, Gavin’s All-Star Security, stop at ringside. Ricky just holds his hand up.

Ricky: “Look…relax. I’m not here to throw a shot at you. I’m not here to do anything like that. That was the old Ricky.”

The crowd buzzes a bit. Lucy just glares as Rudy slowly rolls over, trying to get up. The Barkers meanwhile enter the ring. They steps forward.

Ricky: “You can doubt that all you want. I don’t blame you. I said some awful things. Terrible things.”

Lucy yells at the ring.

Lucy: “It was all true! ALL TRUE!”

Ricky ignores her as Gavin glances back.

Ricky: “I’m not denying what I did over the last year. But I’m going to proud of who I am. What I am. And also of this country. And Gavin…you came here for opportunity, just like I did.”

Karl Barker: “You don’t know him!”

Jack Barker: “Yeah!”

Gavin turns to them.

Ricky: “But you want some revenge for what I did, said, whatever last year. Well I want to face top talent. I’m not running. I’m not going to focus just on my mouth, but on what I can do in this ring. And Gavin…I’ll agree to a match. No tricks. You and I, one on one…let’s do it at Apocalypse! How does that sound? Sound like some good accountability for you?”

Gavin looks a bit confused before turning to Karl and Jack before turning back.

Gavin: “What are you pulling? Going to start working on smear ads?’

Ricky shakes his head.

Ricky: “I’m going to only do one thing…show up at Apocalypse and give you the best I can.”

Ricky extends his hand for a handshake. The Barkers step forward as Gavin looks a bit confused, trying to make sense of this.

Ricky: “Okay…think about it. Next week, give me your answer. I know I don’t deserve your trust, but I’ll try and earn it.”

Lucy grabs Rudy and starts to pull him off. Rudy slips down from his own sweat before Lucy kicks him in the ass and Rudy gets up, staggering up. Lucy heads to the back too as Ricky James backs up and steps through the ropes. “Real American” starts to play as Gavin watches him, as do his A.S.S. Ricky then heads around the ring.

Sharper: “Gavin’s not sure what to think. But again, no tricks. No lies. No empty rhetoric. Just a straight challenge.”

Lyman: “You said Gavin may want some accountability. Ricky’s offering it to him.”

Knots: “I don’t blame Gavin for doubting him. Maybe this is the long con.”

Sharper: “Well he’ll need to figure it out. I’m sure SCW won’t have a problem sanctioning the match. James vs. Taylor? That’s a hell of a contest!”

Ricky heads around the ring as LHS and Powell disappear to the back.

Backstage, Jessica Winters stands with Cid Turner, still in his suit.

Jessica: “Cid, you’ve found some new confidence and you’ve flat out walked up to Ravyn Taylor. You called out Alexander Crowe. You punched out CHBK. We’ve noted your skill in the past, but is this motivated by confidence in yourself in the ring, or confidence in yourself with regards to Syren.”

Cid: “Can’t it be both. I’ve been thinking the last bit and I’ve had some big changes. I mean, do you have an ancient being coursing through your veins. I do! That’s right! See…I’m special. And while I may have been a bit timid at times, and not sure about things or people…I’ve realized I need to live up to this. And there’s just so much. I mean…between making sure Asher gets his opportunity, to accepting the feelings…the special feelings I had with Syren. I just…I just know this is what I need to do.”

Jessica: “But Syren said there was no chance of this going anywhere. That you’re delusional.”

Cid: “Jessica…I know that Syren and I have had issues. But it was still special in that ring at Rise to Greatness. But I get it…Asher and her, they don’t get along. But they’re both fans. Both wrestlers. And you know, sometimes family fights. Sometimes they fight over who gets the shower first before the hot water runs out, and just like in professional wrestling, sometimes it ends in blood, a broken table and someone tapping for mercy, but that’s all NORMAL. NORMAL family things. And well, I think Syren could be part of that with me….and Asher….and Holly too. I just think there’s a misunderstanding here and one where Syren and I could see if there is something there and Asher won’t be killed. I just think…she should give a shot. And beating Ravyn tonight…just shows. Maybe I’m better for her.”

Cid nods.

Jessica: “What about the World Title and Selena?”

Cid: “Jessica…that all will come. It’s all the same issue. All one way for everything to come together….I hope.”

Cid turns and heads off as Jessica watches him leave a bit confused as the scene fades to black.

Backstage, Kim Williams is seen walking backstage. She just looks around as we see a few people walk past her, including crew members and officials. Kim then looks down before stopping. She then turns and looks out before smirking.

Sharper: “What…what is Kim doing?”

Lyman: “I don’t know. She’s happy about something.”

Knots: “Can’t be happy about the loss though!”

Kim then heads off as the scene cuts away.

Tsunami in action

Martin Howe III walks out on the ramp. Smiling at the crowd who is alrighty booing at the sight of him and has a microphone and addresses the fans who are booing him even louder now.

Howe: “Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name as you know is Martin Howe III, senior partner in the law office of Dewey, Cheatum, Howe. And now presenting to all of you, standing 7 feet tall and weighing 355 pounds. He is the one true giant, a tower of power, this is my son…..

TSUNAMI!!!”

Tsunami then appears on the ramp alongside Howe as “Open Up” by Korn explodes into the arena. Howe then begins down the ramp with Tsumani close behind, ignoring the hostile, booing crowd who already don't like them. Only Howe has a smirk on his face. Arriving at the ringside area Tsumani reaches and pulls himself up along the ropes before stepping over the top rope while Howe watches his son in the corner the entire time. Once inside the ring Tsunami looks toward the referee briefly in an intimidating manner before going to his corner, receiving instruction from Howe until the match begins.

Sharper: “His son?”

Lyman: “That can’t be right. Someone would actually have to….well….you know…with that slug!”

Knots: “Either way, that poor bastard in the ring is going to have a long night.”

Sharper: “The Anointed One and he’s going to have a big ask.”

The Anointed One and Tsunami tie up in the center of the ring.  Big mistake by the much smaller Anointed one as he is easily overpowered and thrown to the mat.  Tsunami then grabs him and beals him across the ring.  Tsunami whips him into the corner and charges in with an avalanche before hoisting him up onto his shoulders and connecting with a snake eyes. Tsunami runs in and connects with a vicious running lariat turning The Anointed One inside out.

Sharper: “Very brutal lariat clothesline!”

Knots: “The Anointed One doesn’t look very anointed right now.”

Tsunami whips Anointed one into the ropes and delivers a Samoan drop.  He pulls him back up and drops him with a press slam. Tsunami pulls him up and slams Anointed One hard to the canvas with an Alabama slam. Tsunami chokes The Anointed One.  The referee warns him but he obviously doesn’t listen.  The referee begins a count…

Tsunami breaks the choke.

Lyman: “Tsunami using every bit of that count he can before he would get disqualified at five.  This is obviously from Howe pulling the strings.”

Tsunami pulls him back to his feet and whips him into a corner. Tsunami with repeated knee strikes in the corner followed by forearm shivers. Tsunami with a brutal headbutt.  He lets Anointed One stagger out of the corner before flooring him with a discuss punch.  Tsunami pulls him up, whips him into the ropes, and drills him with a black home slam.

Sharper: “Good God what a slam!  Tsunami should just end it already!”

Knots: “Good luck on convincing him of that.  I think he’s enjoying this.”

Lyman: “I don’t think Tsunami enjoys much of anything.”

Tsunami pulls him up to his feet and connects with a running power slam.  Tsunami puts his boot across his throat, choking him.  He ignores the referee who begins to count.

Tsunami breaks at four.  Tsunami pulls him up to his feet.  He whips Anointed One into the ropes and charges in with The Tsunami!  Anointed One staggers out of the corner and Tsunami sets him up and drops him with Splash Mountain!

Sharper: “Someone should stop this.”

Knots: “Yeah, even I think this is going too far.  But look at Howe, he’s loving it.”

Martin Howe is smirking.  Waving mockingly at The Anointed One.  The fans are booing.  Howe turns to the booing fans and shakes his head, indicating that it isn’t over yet.  Sure enough, Tsunami pulls The Anointed One back to his feet, sets him up on his shoulders, and drops him with Storm of the Century!  Tsunami covers.

The crowd boos as Tsunami gets up.

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

Howe steps up into the ring and enters it. Tsunami looks down at the Anointed One before scanning the arena. Howe points to him as his music plays.

Sharper: “Just impressive. We’ve had a number of new debuts, but none may be more terrifying than this one.”

Knots: “He just destroyed that poor bastard.”

Tsunami continues to stand in the ring, Howe allowing him to enjoy the glory of victory. But the crowd then roars as we see Purity Pixie step out from the stage and look down at the ring. She just watches Howe and Tsunami. Howe turns and notices her and smiles before turning back to Tsunami.

Sharper: “Purity Pixie watching. After she was attacked at Rise to Greatness and then Howe’s offer to Katie…”

Knots: “She’s sizing him up. This may not be a fight you’ll want to take!”

Purity continues to watch Tsunami before we cut away.

“The Old Me” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still of Ravyn Taylor vs. Cid Turner follows.

Sharper: “Here we go. Don’t know what to expect in this one.”

Knots: “I don’t at all. And Cid seems to have a new found confidence…most of the time!”

Sharper: “We’ll see what happens. Ravyn Taylor faces Cid Turner, next, in our main event!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Ravyn Taylor vs. Cid Turner

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 both CHBK and Alexander Crowe. Ravyn has her ring-gear on, and most notably her ring jacket. As she walks the camera reverses down the corridor, we can hear the boos from the crowd even 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 lifts her up and over. She jumps down the other side and smirks again as she starts to walk toward the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening.Introducing, representing Infamous and being accompanied by Alexander Crowe and CHBK, 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. On her arm we see the Infamous skull-logo armband which she points to, tapping it with two fingers as she looks into the camera.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor already has had a bit of Cid tonight…or should I say, Alexander Crowe and CHBK have. Ravyn Taylor more just watching.”

Lyman: “Watching and learning. Pulling whatever she can from any interaction. But clearly she’s looking to maybe knock Cid down a few pegs.”

Sharper: “Even if Infamous and Syren are more distant from one another, as we’ve seen tonight, Syren still has personal relationships with everyone in this rump Infamous. And now down, Syren will smile if her wife, Ravyn, beats Cid tonight. Especially with how personal things are getting between A/C Unit and her.”

The lights slowly dim down. The crowd buzzes in anticipation, many of them taking their phones out and lighting up the arena with their flashlights. After a few moments of silence, "Dark Child" by Marlon Williams plays as the lights flash back on. The big screen shows several highlights of Cid Turner's career as the song continues to play. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Cid makes his way onto the stage, looking tensely out into the crowd. Heavy boos follow while Asher Hayes comes out onto the stage just behind him. Cid takes a moment to let it all soak in before he begins his walk down the ramp with Asher trailing not far behind.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Asher Hayes, from Denver, Colorado, he is Cid Turner!”

"My little blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy

One day you'll grow up and be distressed

One day you'll grow up and reject everything

I've set out for you"

Cid continues his walk down the ramp and keeps his eye on the ring while continually muttering to himself. Cid reaches the ring as Asher stays on the outside, making their way around the corner. Cid climbs up the steps, slowly walking across the apron to the corner and pulling himself up onto the second rope, standing on the turnbuckle and looking around the arena. He takes a deep breath as the crowd continues to give a mixed reaction.

"My only dear long wasteful son

One day you'll wonder what you've become"

The music begins to fade out as Cid climbs down from the ropes and enters the ring, leaning back against the corner while stroking his overgrown beard.

Knots: “What do you think Selena Frost is thinking watching this? Listening to Cid?”

Lyman: “Well Cid has an internal logic. This is all about helping his friend and so what better than to somehow win over Syren, help Asher there, while also trying to regain the World Title. It’s warped, but there’s a logic there.”

Sharper: “That’s one way to look at it. But I wonder if Cid’s trying too hard to help Asher. Trying too hard to focus on Asher on this. He said earlier, we’ve heard everything about Selena’s family. What about his? And his involved Asher Hayes, Holly Adams who has her own problems, and apparently, in his mind, Syren joining him!”

Knots: “That last part…has he looked at himself? Syren said it – Asher tried to end her career. He’s his best friend. You don’t have a shot man! Slide out of her DMs and move on!”

Lyman: “Cid probably doesn’t know what a DM is.”

The bell sounds as Ravyn pulls herself up. She looks at Cid as Cid steps out and looks at Ravyn before pointing at her and then Crowe. Crowe shakes his head as Ravyn then motions for him to come at her. Cid shrugs and lunges at her, but Ravyn hits a drop toe hold. The crowd ohs and Ravyn moves over and into a side headlock. Cid starts to get up and rolls over. Ravyn rolls through. She gets up and Cid gets up and Ravyn kicks him in the ribs. Cid stumbles back to the corner. Ravyn steps after him and forearms him in the jaw and then again before grabbing him by the head and running him along the top rope. Cid staggers back, wincing, holding his face. He turns around and Ravyn grabs his arm and wrenches it.

Sharper: “Ravyn currently in control. Just doing what she does and almost letting Cid lead himself into her offense.”

Knots: “We’ve seen over and over. She’ll find ways to use her opponents against themselves.”

Cid then flips forward and bridges up before turning suddenly and then pulling on Ravyn, causing her to roll forward. She gets up and runs at Cid and Cid hits a snap headlock takedown. Ravyn counters with a headscissors. Cid nips out. Both get up and Ravyn goes for a hard right, but Cid blocks it and then takes Ravyn down by both legs. He flips forward with a jackknife pin.

Sharper: “And a hard arm drag. Cid getting some offense, but Ravyn turning it around.”

Lyman: “And guys, thinking about how Cid was talking earlier .I think he believes that if he beats Ravyn tonight, Syren may be convinced Cid may be worth a shot too. So you wonder how that’s playing out in his mind.”

Sharper: “He’s done well under pressure. Only Taking Hold of the Flame being the most recent blip. But that cost him the World Title.”

Cid gets up and Ravyn hits a dropkick. Cid falls to the mat. He gets up and Ravyn pulls herself up and hits a discus forearm. Cid falls to the ropes.

Ravyn kicks out.

Sharper: “Great suplex into a bridge. Cid Turner not holding off on trying for the win early.”

Lyman: “Hit a big move and hope. And Cid has an advantage here. He’s bigger than Ravyn and knows he can use it. Some of the same tactics he used at Rise to Greatness could be good here tonight and then again at Apocalypse against Selena Frost.”

Ravyn turns and Cid gets up and kicks her in the ribs. He then scoops her up and slams her down. Cid turns and moves into the corner. He pulls herself onto the middle rope. Ravyn remains down and Cid hits a lunging front elbow drop. He goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Ravyn now getting more and more dirty with her tactics.”

Knots: “Surprised she wasn’t doing it earlier.”

Lyman: “Me too.”

Ravyn then kicks him in the ribs and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and hits a running knee lift. Cid falls back into the corner. Ravyn then walks around before running at Cid and hitting the Bust of Pallas. The crowd ohs and Cid falls to the mat. Ravyn goes for the pin.

Cid shoots his shoulder up as Asher starts to yell at Cid.

Asher: “Come on! Do this for destiny! You’ve got her two shows after you beat Syren. Prove we’re better than these two!”

Cid turns and looks over at Asher and Asher looks more exasperated than encouraging as Ravyn grabs Cid from behind and starts to pull back, before locking in a rear naked choke. Cid reaches out as the crowd boos. Ravyn then pulls him back and to the mat. Cid rolls to the side. Ravyn tries to legscissors him as Cid moves his legs around, trying to get to the ropes.

Sharper: “Cid just nearly counted down for three. Ravyn got all of that DDT, but not all of the count!”

Lyman: “And Asher is getting more and more uneasy.”

Knots: “If Cid’s struggling here when this is something he wants, what about when the title is on the line?”

Sharper: “That’s if he doesn’t see this for a distraction. I don’t think Asher fully gets it nor does he want to!”

Cid turns and starts to get up and Ravyn looks at him and chops him. The crowd woos. Cid falls back. Ravyn chops him again. More woos. Ravyn then grabs him and goes to run him across, but Cid spins through and sends Ravyn chest first into the corner and she steps back. Cid grabs her and pulls her down with an inverted facelock backbreaker and then a second one before then finishing off the Ode to Caesar. He hooks the leg as Asher’s demeanour changes entirely.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor just pinned Cid Turner!”

Knots: “Cid was so confident. And it backfired. And you can see the reactions!”

Sharper: “Going into Apocalypse…what’s this going to do?!”

Lyman: “Guess Syren’s not meant to be?”

Sharper: “What about the World Title! Selena Frost watching and Ravyn Taylor just pinned the number one contender!”

Cid remains down, just looking up at the lights. Asher lowers his head as Ravyn Taylor gets up. Alexander Crowe enters the ring, raising Ravyn’s arm as she smirks as the scene fades to black…
