“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

 

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

 

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

 

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


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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

 

Sharper: “We are in the home of Supreme Championship Wrestling. Much controversy all over Supreme Championship Wrestling!”

 

We then cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots at ringside. And Jon, big news over the last week. After the shocking moments of last week’s Breakdown, when Xander Valentine went into the crowd and attacked fans, Selena’s True Believers, Xander has been suspended indefinitely.”

 

Knots: “Not only that. He’s been charged. He’s been put in jail. He’s not showing up tonight. Even if he wanted to, the border won’t be letting him across. And Xander may not be back in SCW ever!”

 

Sharper: “And I’m sure we’ll have more to discuss there. Selena Frost, I’m sure, will have something to say. But along with that, tonight…”

 

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and we see a shot of Konrad Raab vs. Alistaire Allocco for the SCW World Championship.

 

Sharper: “…Alistaire Allocco has his first World Championship defense and against a man he specifically asked to defend against. Konrad Raab!”

 

Knots: “Raab coming off the biggest win of his career at Rise to Greatness. Better be ready to aim bigger. He could have the greatest prize in wrestling tonight!”

 

We then see a shot of Datura come up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “And we expect to hear from Datura tonight. What is she going to say about Regan Street? What about her comments? A lot to discuss tonight!”

 

The scene cuts to entrance way where Sasha walks out from the back. The crowd applauds a bit as Sasha makes her way down the rampway to the ringside area. She walks up the steel steps and walks into the ring. She walks across the ring to the corner and is handed a microphone by Jason Phillips. She takes it and walks back into the middle of the ring.

 

Sharper: “Looks like we’re going to be starting off tonight hearing from the boss. I’m sure she has a few thoughts. Especially as some people have tried to make the situation last week about them.”

 

Knots: “That’s probably with being crap. It gets everywhere!”

 

Sasha looks around for a moment, listening to the crowd before starting to speak.

 

Sasha: “Ladies and gentlemen, last week, we had a moment on this show that Supreme Championship Wrestling, obviously, cannot condone when a contracted wrestler entered the crowd to assault fans.”

 

The crowd boos, although some cheer.

 

Sasha: “Now, SCW is cooperating in every way with local authorities. Xander Valentine has been suspended indefinitely without pay. We also immediately after the show covered any medical expenses and have discussed with every fan affected and their legal representation a way to make this better.”

 

Sasha pauses for a moment as the crowd buzzes a bit.

 

Sasha: “In SCW, especially with me in charge, no one is more important than our fans. And starting this week, we are going to take extra precautions to ensure you all are safe at any and all of our events. But one other item, I must make a comment on, a public one, and that relates to the comments made by the legal counsel of Xander Valentine.”

 

Sasha stops as the crowd boos some.

 

Sasha: “It was claimed that SCW is an unsafe working environment, claiming that he suffered a concussion and SCW did not take the proper precautions. We categorically deny this interpretation of events. Supreme Championship Wrestling has taken concussions extremely seriously. It is why Xander’s match was stopped by the official, the moment Xander was deemed to have lost consciousness and was unable to defend himself. Any competitor who is believed to have potentially suffered a concussion undergoes extensive testing to ensure they can be medically cleared to compete, both after the show, and at multiple points after. And finally, Xander Valentine was not in competition last week and therefore, the status of his concussion as related to an unsafe working environment. In fact, I have several witnesses that claim the woman who accompanies Xander Valentine was waiting near the locker room of Selena Frost, ensuring that she had started her post-match shower to ensure she would not interfere and only when Selena was made aware, did the woman in question appear at ringside to warn Xander. So…this was premediated, not some fit of rage.”

 

Sasha pauses again as the crowd buzzes a bit more.

 

Sasha: “And finally, this is for everyone out there jumping on this bandwagon, this is a contact sport. We do not force anyone to walk out in this ring if they are not medically cleared to compete. And if you do not realize that injures can happen in this sport, I suggest that we speak so we can ensure that you have proper training to understand the risks of what every competitors does in this ring. I will always do my best to avoid the unnecessary and egregious. THAT has no place in professional wrestling. But what happens in this ring…there is always a risk of injury. The fact that Xander Valentine and his legal counsel argues otherwise shows the hypocrisy of both, given that Xander Valentine has never had such a concern in nearly fifteen years of being affiliated with this company. It’s a convenient ruse and speaking of convenient-“

 

“Style” by Taylor Swift plays and the crowd boos as Sasha turns and scowls at the entrance way. A few moments pass before Laura Steinbeck walks out from the back with Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon. The crowd boos some more. They then start to walk down to the ring. Sasha watches as the three members of the Beauty Factory reach the bottom of the ramp and over to the steel steps.

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann, Chris Cannon and Laura Steinbeck getting involved now.”

 

Knots: “Just like it didn’t involve them, just like they don’t care about the fans without the press, they getting involved here.”

 

Sienna walks into the ring. Chris steps in after before holding the ropes open as Laura steps in after. Laura walks across the ring and goes over across the ring and asks Phillips for a microphone. Phillips hands on and she walks over to the middle of the ring, smiling at Sasha.

 

Sasha: “I was wondering when you all would join me.”

 

Laura: “Sasha, after our discussions last week, and then our stepping in to help deal with this horrible situation, it is only right for us to be here. While I understand that SCW has done what they can, we wanted to make sure it was extra special.”

 

Sasha: “And how many photo ops did you take?”

 

Laura laughs a bit.

 

Laura: “Please. Don’t be so cynical.”

 

Sasha: “Given that everything you do needs all the press in the world. Given that you made those offers only after speaking to us. The fact is that while I can appreciate you wanting to do something nice, the fact that you then immediately turn around to stick it to Selena Frost, sorry if I’m being, in your words, cynical. But from my viewpoint, given your history with Selena, the moment you start to talk about your claims of unsafe moves when your own God damned finisher is a knee strike, I call it being rightfully and justifiably skeptical.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Well looks like Sasha isn’t going to just listen to this.”

 

Laura looks stunned.

 

Laura: “Sasha, please. We’re just caring about your roster. The For the People movement is for everyone, even those who may not understand what we do.”

 

Sienna then stops Laura and asks for the microphone. Laura hands her the microphone. Sienna just smiles as the crowd boos some more. Sasha turns to her. Sienna, taller than Sasha, steps up and looks down at her.

 

Sienna: “Now Sasha, I know you’re not a professional wrestler. You’ve never competed in this ring. So I can see how certain moves may all seem to be the same, but the fact is that it’s clear Selena Frost is a menace. And the fact is that there are many who want to say something about it. People like your United States Champion, Bree, or people like your former World Tag Team Champions, the Sisterhood. They care about competitors. This is straightforward and while Xander Valentine is a brute and a monster, and a savage, and should be behind bars forever, not matter what you are skeptical of, we are pure here.”

 

Sasha looks up at Sienna.

 

Sasha: “And so then I should ban your Kiss of an Angel? Right? What if I ask Kennedy Street or Owen Cruze or –“

 

Sienna: “Please. You don’t need to rely on the word of the moody, the unreliable or the childish. I mean Owen just had a horrible tragedy with a death in his family, his opinions are probably all over the place. I even heard he’s gone through a breakup. He’s a loose cannon. Perhaps he’s someone who should even get some evaluation. Only to do what’s best for this company.”

 

Sasha: “Uh-huh. And I suppose you’re going to say something about James attacking you?”

 

Sienna: “I could claim that, but thank God Chris was the proactive man that he was, saving me, because he was not going to let James Evans get his hands on me. I even had Angelica personally contact me to apologize for his actions, saying he’s ANOTHER loose cannon!”

 

The crowd boos loudly.

 

Sienna: “Please, Chris. You should speak on this.”

 

The crowd boos more and Chris looks around as Sienna hands him the microphone. Sasha turns to him, looking at him unimpressed.

 

Chris: “Look we all saw what happened last week. James Evans came down to this ring to pick a fight, and for what reason? It doesn’t matter. It was unnecessary. We had no issue with him and he came to the ring, looking to attack Sienna or myself. I merely defended myself and you’re going to protect that. See, Sienna and I, we are just done accepting flaws. You’re an owner. You should be welcoming this feedback. Things like listening to the right people, people like Sienna, who is as perfect as they come, who cares about everyone she meets, bringing happiness to every community she enters. This is straight forward. And it starts with a moment of goodwill, one involving Selena Frost’s Defying Gravity-“

 

Just then, “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande plays. The crowd erupts in cheers as Chris turns and Sienna steps back. Laura backs up too. Selena Frost then walks out from the back, a microphone in his hand. The crowd cheers as she looks down at the ring, shaking her head.

 

Sharper: “Looks like Selena has heard enough.”

 

Knots: “To be fair, at some point, you need to be concerned about the idiocy being doled out for the people!”

 

Selena: “Are we done with the crap being spewed in the ring yet?”

 

Selena looks down. Chris just scowls as Sienna takes the microphone.

 

Sienna: “Naturally you need to step out here focusing on yourself instead of everyone else.”

 

Selena: “Yeah, that’s it. When I’m the one who asked Sasha to speak with all of those affected last week, people who were attacked for believing in ME. People who were assaulted because Xander Valentine couldn’t handle that I made him realize that I slay monsters and have every chance I get.”

 

Selena pauses as the crowd cheers.

 

Selena: “As you stand in the ring, making sure the world knows that you do everything FOR THE PEOPLE, you now are sitting there and focusing on the ridiculous he’s spewing to help yourself. Good to see Sienna that you can’t even hide your true colours. I’ve stayed out of your way, but you want to bring out history up just because you see a chance, don’t worry, I’ll happily kick your ass. Don’t worry, that’s not your head!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Sienna: “See! More threats! No care for her opponents. She is a menace that should be showed there are consequences to actions.”

 

Sasha: “You know what…consequences for actions. That makes sense.”

 

Sienna smirks.

 

Sienna: “Finally, you get it.”

 

Sasha: “Oh I do. I’m not sure you two do, but I do. See, this is professional wrestling. As I said, it’s a contact sport. But Sienna, I’ll at least give you one thing…The Defying Gravity is a dangerous move. Selena has proven how effective it is. Just as you have your Kiss of an Angel.”

 

Sienna: “Please. Don’t insult me that way, comparing me to her.”

 

Sasha: “See, I think you and Chris have forgotten about what people do in SCW. We settle it in this ring. So, at Apocalypse, Chris…you have a problem with James Evans. You and him can settle it then. One on one!”

 

The crowd roars. Chris turns to Sasha. He responds, yelling about a title shot. Sasha turns to Sienna.

 

Sasha: “And Sienna, well this is just so important. You know what, you can teach Selena a lesson…or Selena can show you first-hand how she’s become so adept at her craft, that she’ll take you out. Sienna, you’re a kickboxer right. You can prove your skills. At Apocalypse, you two will fight. First one to hit their finisher, Defying Gravity or Kiss of an Angel…wins!”

 

Sienna: “But I should be challenging for the World Title!”

 

Sasha turns to Sienna.

 

Sasha: “You’ve convinced me. This is far more important. It’s FOR THE PEOPLE!”

 

Sasha turns and walks past them as Laura, Sienna and Chris all show their annoyance with Sasha’s decision. The crowd cheers Sasha.

 

Selena: “Hey Selena! BELIEVE IT!”

 

Sienna turns around, angered. Sasha exits the ring and drops down to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann will face Selena Frost in two and a half weeks at Apocalypse! Chris Cannon will face James Evans!”

 

Knots: “Consequences for actions. Sienna and Chris stuck their nose in this. Well, they can stand up for what they claim to believe in. Even if its pure crap!”

 

Selena turns to the back as Sienna and Chris turn to one another as Laura tries to calm them down. Sasha continues to the back as the crowd cheers her and “The Truth About Our Time” plays in the background.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as Sasha walks backstage and Selena Frost walks over to her.

 

Selena: “Sasha, sorry…can I talk for a moment?”

 

Sasha turns to her.

 

Sasha: “Yeah, sure.”

 

Selena: “For Xander-“

 

Sasha: “That’s decided.”

 

Selena: “He went after my fans. He went after people cheering for me. He crossed a line.”

 

Sasha: “He did. And that’s why he’s suspended.”

 

Selena: “You know he’ll still try something.”

 

Sasha: “Can’t tonight. Won’t be getting across the border. Not with the note on his record. And next week, if he tries something, that will be my issue. For now, you should focus on Sienna.”

 

Selena: “I plan to. I plan to shut her up in this latest attempt to get one over on me. To take a shot at me and make this all about her. But Sasha…if Xander shows up, I will be there.”

 

Sasha: “We’re not having repeats of earlier this year. Selena…please…focus on Sienna.”

 

Selena: “I can make that promise. Anything else…sorry.”

 

Selena walks off as Sasha watches her leave and we cut away.

 

Jake Starr vs. John Goddard

 

The arena is plunged into total darkness causing the crowd to buzz, the questions are answered when the tron above the stage illuminates while the sound of wind blowing over the P.A System. The picture on the screen is that of the desert sand, but it’s not long before we hear the rattling sound of a curled-up snake... The footage starts to pan upwards to reveal more of the desert, but the focus is on the snake slithering towards the screen, the Rattlesnake moves closer and closer and then wastes no time at all before striking at the screen...

Then as if on cue Johnny Cash’s “God’s Gonna Cut you Down” hits over the P. A System, while the music begins to build upwards with the guitar strumming away a smoke like fog begins to haze its way onto the stage as the lights shift in colour to a fiery amber… With it a shadowy figure begins to casually walk out among the Smokey haze to reveal Goddard himself dressed in his leather trench coat, Stetson hat and bandanna over his face...

Dishevelled voice: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Ya’ll heard the whispers, ya’ll listened to the tales but allow us to inform ya that “The Legend is Very Real...” Hailing from the wastelands of Texas, better known as Tombstone… he weighs in tonight at one-hundred and ninety-seven pounds... He is “THE HELLBILLY” … JOHN GODDARD!!”

The crowd’s reaction is incredibly mixed as he stands on the stage looking out from under his hat, he then removes the bandanna and cracks a smile before nodding and walking down to the ring with a confidence of one like himself. Fans reach out to touch him, but he pays them no mind if the manage to do just that. After rolling into the ring he rises to one knee and looks out to the crowd again before pulling himself up using the ropes before walking over to a corner and removing his jacket before standing on the second corner and nodding one more time.

Sharper: “Our next contest will pit the 30-year-old veteran, the man in the ring, John Goddard against SCW legend and multiple time World Champion, Jake Starr.”

The opening chords of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to echo throughout the stadium. With each opening drum beat, the logo of the Social Misfits flashes on the jumbotron...

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

WATCH YOUR BACK!

With those words, an explosion or pyro shoots high into the air from the stage and in front of the stage in another wall of sparks. Lights start to circle the arena as several spotlights turn to the stage. Jake Starr walks out from the back and looks around. He just smiles and nods. He surveys the crowd, feeling their energy and absorbing it all in. His nameplate comes up as Jake Starr starts to head down to the ring. He makes his way down the rampway before going to the guardrail and fist bumping a few fans and then going to the other side before doing the same.

Knots: “Jake Starr coming off a win over that guy we’ve not heard from since Rise to Greatness…Jason Zero…or is it just Zero…”

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Des Moines, Iowa he is the Social Misfit…JAKE STARR!!!”

The crowd cheers as Starr runs over to the ring and jumps up onto the apron. He steps into the ring. He immediately makes his way to the far corner, climbing to the top rope. As the chorus hits, a spotlight illuminates Jake and he simply stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. He points at himself, and ultimately yells the words "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" He looks around, continuing to soak up the energy from the crowd before beating on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd who have been supporters over the years. After this, he goes camera side and climbs on the middle rope raising his arm one more time. He looks around before hopping down and walking around the ring.

The ref calls for the bell and both men step out from their corners. They circle one another, before immediately swinging at each other. Goddard connects with a left, with Starr connecting with a right. Goddard hits another left, with Starr landing another right, then a left. Starr backs Goddard into the ropes and whips him across.

Goddard hits the ropes, then comes back with a running knee lift. Starr hits the mat, but quickly bounces up. Starr turns and Goddard connects with a European uppercut. Starr staggers back and goes for a right hook, but Goddard blocks it, hitting another European uppercut, before hooking Starr and taking him down with a T-bone suplex. Goddard hooks the leg.

Starr kicks out.

Sharper: “Both men exchanging punches in the opening, but Goddard quickly turned the tide in his favor, going for the first pin attempt and getting a quick 2.”

Knots: “Goddard may be old as hell, but he can still duke it out with the best of them. Starr will have to do something quick to turn this around.”

Goddard lifts Starr up and delivers a knife edge before backing him into the ropes. He goes to whip him across, but Starr reverses. Goddard comes back, going for another knee lift, but Starr side steps, then grabs Goddard, taking him down with a belly to back suplex.

Sharper: “Starr taking the Hellbilly with a belly to back suplex. Let’s see if he can build some momentum.”

Starr goes for a quick pin.

Goddard shoots the shoulder up.

Knots: “Starr with a pin attempt of his own, getting a two. Both men probably know they are going to have to beat the hell out of the other in order to get that W.”

Starr goes to pick Goddard up, but Goddard lands another European uppercut. Starr staggers back for a moment, before charging at Goddard, only for Goddard to grab him and plant Starr with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.

Goddard gets to his feet, lifting Starr up. Goddard hits a few left hooks, before whipping Starr into the corner. Goddard charges towards Starr, going for a running big boot, but Starr dodges it.

Sharper: “Goddard hung up on the ropes as Starr missed that big boot just in the nick of time.”

Starr gets to his feet and connects with a dropkick, dropping Goddard to the mat. Starr hits the ropes, then connects with a running baseball slide. Starr climbs to his feet as Goddard uses the ropes to help him stand. Starr connects with a running elbow to the jaw. Goddard staggers, before going for a left hook, but Starr blocks it. Starr hooks Goddard and plants him with a snap suplex. Starr goes for another cover.

Goddard kicks out!

Knots: “Starr can’t seem to cut Goddard down. See what I did there?”

Starr grabs Goddard, bringing him up from the mat, but Goddard hits another European uppercut. He grabs Starr and whips him into the corner, following up with a running clothesline. Starr buckles as Goddard takes a step back.

Sharper: “The Hellbilly taking a moment to gather himself it seems. Neither competitor has let up since the opening bell.”

Goddard hits a running elbow, dazing Starr, before lifting Starr onto the top rope.

Knots: “This can’t be good.”

Goddard hooks Starr, but Starr grabs onto the top rope. Goddard tries to lift, but Starr maintains his grip for a few moments, before he begins to land shots to the ribs, connecting with lefts and rights. Goddard loosens his grip. Starr hits his own European uppercut as Goddard falls to the mat.

Starr drops down as Goddard slowly gets to his feet. Starr grabs Goddard and goes to whip him back into the corner, but Goddard blocks it. Goddard goes to pull Starr into a spinning back elbow, but Starr dunks under, kicks Goddard into the midsection, hooking him then flipping over, taking Goddard with a Spanish Fly. The crowd “Ohs” upon impact. Starr crawls over and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Jake Starr with the Black Hole, a new move we’re being told. Goddard, like everyone else, didn’t see it coming.”

“Sound of Madness” hits as the ref calls for the bell and the crowd erupts in cheers.

Phillips: “Here is your winner by pinfall…the Social Misfit…JAKE STARR!!!”

Starr climbs to his feet and begins to celebrate in the ring as the cameras show him saluting the crowd, before showing Goddard slowly coming to, before the feed cut away to the back.

 

Backstage, we see El Lucho Grande and El Lucho Venti walking backstage, both are holding coffees in their hands and they start to pick up steam before running over and going to Derek Adonis and Cookie. Adonis has on a pair of glasses and is going through an invoice.

 

Cookie: “Oh good! They’re here!”

 

Cookie turns and bounces. Venti looks at Grande.

 

Venti: “Elle grandes!”

 

Cookie: “Derek! Here’s the new coffee. I got these guys to help.”

 

Adonis brings the invoice down.

 

Adonis: “The KABLAM Roast!”

 

Cookie: “The early riser!”

 

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

 

Venti and Grande look at one another. Adonis takes the coffee as Cookie takes the other and they each have a taste. Venti and Grande again look at one another.

 

Adonis: “That packs a punch.”

 

Cookie: “Just thrusts caffeine into me!”

 

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

 

Cookie: “Can feel it penetrating my brain holes!”

 

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

 

Venti: “Si?”

 

Adonis: “Oh yeah.”

 

Adonis: “Los coffees est tres good!”

 

Cookie: “That’s part French.”

 

Adonis: “French is like Spanish-“

 

Just then, we see a man come into view, talking in a high-toned voice.

 

Man: “Good you like the coffee guys. Now we need to get paid. So here’s the contracts.”

 

Venti and Grande then both grab the man and pull him away.

 

Venti & Grande: “No no no no!”

 

Cookie: “Hmmm…seems to be a bit of a rough negotiation.”

 

Adonis: “Kablam?”

 

We cut to Venti and Grande.

Man: “Look, you hired me to negotiated. Nate Patrick, at your service!”

 

Venti and Grande look to each other before Grande whispers in Patrick’s ear. Patrick nods.

 

Patrick: “Oh…being nice to them…okay…that’s a new one. But we can do it.”

 

Venti: “Si!”

 

Patrick turns and walks over to Cookie and Adonis.

 

Patrick: “I’ve been told that was all good will, baby. Well, if you need more, you know where to get me. And here’s my card. And if you need a used car, I can help there too. Now, we’re going to go off and uh, Juan Valdez the SCW.”

 

Venti and Grande both nod and then they grab Patrick and head off as Adonis and Cookie watch them leave and shrug before taking another sip of the coffee and we cut away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns to see Sasha talking to someone backstage. We then hear a female clearing her throat to get attention. Sasha glances behind her to reveal Bree Lancaster waiting behind her, her hands folded across her chest. Sasha turns to the person she was talking to.

 

Sasha: “Excuse me a moment.”

 

Sasha turns back to Bree.

 

Sasha: “Bree, how can I help you?”

 

Bree: “Well given that you’ve already proven you’re in an irrational mood, I’m unsure how wise this is, but you and I have plenty to talk about.”

 

Sasha: “If this is about the attempt to target Selena-“

 

Bree: “No…I don’t feel like having to deal with her again if that’s how you’re going to skirt around the issue! I am talking about Rachel Tatum Lee.”

 

The crowd cheers hearing her voice.

 

Sasha: “What about her?”

 

Bree: “If this is some attempt by her to attack me to earn a shot at MY United States Championship, consider this my moment where I talk about how ridiculous that is!”

 

Bree sighs and then cuts off Sasha when she’s about to speak.

 

Bree: “She’s just come back. She’s had ONE match and it was not even a match. It was a fight. A brutal fight. A relic from a bygone era. Her and Brittany can have those scrappy fights, but me...I’m a wrestler. I compete in that ring, as I’ll show everyone tonight when I prove that Asher Hayes is unable to hack it against me. But if this is all some way for her to jump to the front of the line-“

 

Sasha: “Bree…I get it. I really do. So then Bree, as much as I may regret this, who do you think should be at the front of the line? Who would she be pushing out of the way?”

 

Bree: “Oh please. Like you care what I think! You’re already thinking about putting Rachel against me.”

 

Sasha: “Humour me.”

 

Bree looks around and thinks about it before turning to her.

 

Bree: “Easy…no one. Make them earn it. I had to wait for months for this. I then had to face Aaron Blackbourne when he disrespected me. Make them earn their shot. How does that sound? Because if not…no one deserves to face me and that’s your problem. Not mine.”

 

Bree turns and storms off. Sasha watches her leave, shaking her head as we cut to the ring.

 

Phreak vs. Blackheart vs. Clyde Sutter

 

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, and it’s a triple threat match…. Introducing first!”

The sound of laughter floods the arena as smoke gathers at the top of the ramp.  The beginning beat of "Birth of the Cruel" begins to play throughout the arena. In just seconds a girl with a hood that covers her face stands at the top of the ramp and slowly drops to her knees as Blackheart slowly makes his way out from the back. He stands behind her with his hands placed on top of her of head. Blackheart soon moves next to the girl as he takes her hand, helps her up, and then they slowly make their way down the ramp.
 
Phillips: “On his way to the ring, being accompanied by, Melaina. This is..... BLACKHEART!”
 
It doesn't take long for both, Blackheart and Melaina to approach the ring. Blackheart makes Melaina stand on the outside of the ring as he slides into the ring. He starts pacing around the ring as he constantly slaps himself in the face to get himself pumped up. After a few seconds of pacing he finally goes to a corner and sits there and awaits for the match to start.

Knots: “Is he a superhero or a supervillain? I wonder if he’s friends with Zero?”

Sharper: “If I was a betting man, I have to say villain.”

Knots: “And who’s that with him?”

Sharper: “My notes say that is Melaina. Doesn’t say anything about her relations with Blackheart. I guess we’re going to have to see for ourselves.”
 
The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play.  As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face.  He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering.  After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, Sutter begins his slow walk down the ramp, with Van Stanton following closely behind. 


Phillips: “And introducing next, weighing in at 281 pounds this evening, THE ASSASSIN…. CLYDE SUTTER!”

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

Sharper: “Clyde Sutter, accompanied by Van Stanton, is very intent on making a lasting impression. A reminder folks, this is the debut for all these competitors. A win here jumpstarts their SCW career.”

Knots: “Former student of The Braddock Wrestling School, heard that they kicked him out for being a real jerk.”

Sharper: “Yes, some nasty rumors floating about Clyde.”

The arena is plunged into darkness as the eerie cords of Adrian Von Zieglers Black Dawn begins to play. Thunder rolls through out the arena as a fine mist begins to cover the entrance ramp. The hardcore fans in the arena let out a cheer as the video screen above the entrance way turns on and clips of Phreak begin to air.

Phillips: “And their opponent, weighing in at 209 pounds, from Fort Worth, Texas… PHREAK!”

A flash of lighting cuts through the arena as the music grows louder. a shower of gold pyro begin to rain down upon the entrance ramp bringing the crowd to its feet as a shadow can be seen standing in the rain of fire. Strobe lights begin to flash through the arena and the crowd erupts as Phreak walks out through the falling pyro...his head his lowered as we can see spikes resting on top of his head, he steps to the center of the stage as if waiting, than he raises his head, exposing a Hannibal Lecter mask, he slowly makes his way down to the ring, focusing on his match and ignoring the fans as he slides in under the bottom rope, he then drags himself to the corner and sits, staring at his opponents.

Knots: “What a real freakshow our last class of recruits. Look at them!”

Sharper: “I hope that’s not your attempt to playing on Phreak’s name. Either way, regardless of their personality or character flaws, if they made here it in SCW, that means they’re some of the best out there today and they’re given the opportunity to make on a name for themselves the more premier promotion in the world.”

Knots: “Triple Threat rules, suspicious cast, this could turn into a horror movie real quick.”
 
The bell rings and immediately both Clyde and Blackheart march over to the still sitting Phreak and begin to stomp down onto him. They step back to both survey the damage and Phreak waves them on, only for Clyde and Blackheart with repaying the gesture with a few stiff kicks to the head. Clyde then turns and grabs Blackheart by the sides and simply tosses him out his way. He turns back to Phreak but Phreak slips out to the outside. Clyde turns around and there’s discus elbow smash to the face of Clyde. The strike is already enough to knock Clyde back into the corner. Blackheart backs up and then charges forward with a high knee to the head. Clyde drops down onto the bottom rope and Blackheart backpedals. He points towards Clyde and he’s intercepted by Phreak with a steel chair across the back.

Knots: “Wait!”

Sharper: “No disqualification because it’s a triple threat, but right now, the referee isn’t pleased.”

Knots: “I have a feeling that Phreak was born 15 years too late. It has been a few since we retired the Underground Championship, but he would have fit right in!”

Blackheart stumbles about, arching his back in pain. He turns and there’s a headshot right over the head. Phreak tries to swing the chair again but the referee pulls the chair away. Phreak shrugs and he backpedals into the ropes and comes sliding in with a dropkick, directed a Blackheart’s head. Blackheart rolls out of the ring, holding his face. Phreak begins to backpedal but he steps back into Clyde Sutter who is up. Release german suplex launches Phreak and lands right on his head.

Sharper: “Clyde Sutter showing off his brute strength.”

Knots: “Van Stanton is enjoyed the display.”

Phreak rolls out of the ring, holding the back of his head. Clyde Sutter leaves the ring, and he sizes up Phreak. Phreak turns and ducks underneath a clothesline. At the same time, Blackheart is there, catapulting off the steel steps and he catches Clyde Sutter with a tornado DDT. Blackheart jumps up but he’s met with an elbow. Blackheart returns with an elbow of his own. Phreak responds with a hard right, which was mat by Blackheart. On the outside of the ring, both men stare to exchange blows. Phreak gets the upperhand with he sneaks in a toe kick, follows up with a haymaker that launches Blackheart back. Blackheart falls back and clings onto the ring post. Phreak smashes his head off the ring post and rolls him. He follows in quick pursuit. Blackheart scrambles to his feet and runs into the ropes, but there’s Phreak, greeting him with a belly-to-belly suplex. Phreak covers:

1…

2…

Sharper: “Belly to belly suplex only credited Phreak with a two count.”

Knots: “What is Phreak trying? Is that the muta lock… Overdose locked in!”

Sharper: “Phreak’s going to try to go for the submission victory here with that hold, just bending Blackheart in fashion that threatens to break him in half.”

Blackheart tries to reach for the ropes for a break to hold. Phreak’s yelling at him to tape out. Clyde Sutter is back in the ring and he backpedals. He leaps up high into the air and lands onto Phreak’s bridged body with a drop stomp. The hold is broken. Phreak and Blackheart rolls over, both hurting from that double stomp. Phreak took the blunt of the impact. Both slowly climb to their feet and turn around. Clyde Sutter snatches both of them by the throat!

Knots: “He’s not going to, is he?”

Sharper: “I think we know how this ends! This is going to be another showcase of Sutter’s power!”

Clyde Sutter lifts both into the air by the throat and delivers chokeslams to both. Clyde turns towards Phreak and hooks the leg to go for the pin:

1…

2…

Phreak shoots his shoulder. Van Stanton yells to Clyde to try the other opponent and Clyde nods, covering:

1….

2…

Blackheart kicks out!

Sharper: “Clyde was hoping one of his opponents would have been weakened enough by the double chokeslam.”

Knots: “They know that first impressions last and I think that has to be going in their heads. If they give up the loss on the first night, they lose out on a lot of momentum!”

Clyde Sutter reaches down and pulls Blackheart to his feet. He lifts Blackheart for a powerbomb, but he holds on, lifts him again for a second, and for the third, he switches for to a fireman’s carry but Phreaks there with a dropkick. Blackheart slips and land in front of Clyde. Both Clyde and Phreak deliver a double suplex onto Clyde. Both men go for the pin but crash into each other. They stare at one another and shove. They roll up onto their feet. They run in opposite directions. On the rebound, Phreak ducks a clothesline attempt from Blackheart. On the second pass, Phreak stops and lowers his shoulder but Blackheart keeps rolling. Phreak turns and Blackheart nails him with BLK! Phreak hits the mat. Blackheart pushes Phreak over and hooks the leg:

Knots: “BLK hits home. I think Blackheart’s gonna take this!”

1…

2…

Sharper: “Clyde yanks Blackheart off of Phreak to block the pin, saving himself from a losing record.”

Blackheart slips out of Clyde’s grasp and rolls to his feet. He charges and rebounds right into a spinebuster! Blackheart pops back up, holding his tailbone and turns, he is taken out by the Unforgiven!

Sharper: “Clyde Sutter just took Blackheart’s head off!”

Knots: “This could be it!”

1…

2…

3!

Clyde Sutter rolls off with a satisfied smile on his face. Phreak rolls out of the ring and shakes his head, not happy with the result. Meanwhile, Melaina rolls in to check on Blackheart.

Phillips: “Winner of the match, and by pin fall…. CLYDE SUTTER!”

Sharper: “Clyde Sutter claims victory here tonight, the first night of what could be a fruitful career here in SCW.”

Knots: “He’s a big man, built with power, and there a few moments where he definitely took control of this match.”

 

Sutter continues to head to the back as the crowd boos.

 

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Rachel Tatum Lee backstage with Jessica Winters. The crowd cheers seeing her.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Rachel Tatum Lee and Rachel, last week, you attacked Bree Lancaster, ruining her Boston Bree Party. She’s already gone to Sasha saying you don’t deserve a title shot at her. But before I ask you your response to that, why did you attack her or did you simply want to her celebration?”

 

Rachel smirks.

 

Rachel: “Trust me, didn’t y’all want to go out there. Bree runs her mouth and who wants ta see that? Her runnin’ her mouth to talk about how great she is.”

 

Rachel shrugs.

 

Rachel: “See, I came back at Takin’ Hold of the Flame and nearly won tha entire thing!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Rachel: “Then I went ta Rise to Greatness and bloodied and beat a good friend because that’s what she wanted. Now, I get that Bree doesn’t want the Violent Kind, but Bree…ya a champion. You got a target on yer back. But…”

 

Rachel turns to Jessica.

 

Rachel: “She’s right. I don’t deserve the shot. I had a lot of fun ruinin’ her little celebration. And I aint gonna just stand by if she wants ta still act like that. But if I gotta earn my shot for er, unless her, or all of them in the Beauty Factory, I’ll do it. I won’t bitch, I won’t yell…I’ll just kick ass because that’s what I do!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Rachel: “Bree…at some point…we gonna meet and I will leave you dead in tombstone!”

 

The crowd cheers as Rachel turns and walks off. The crowd continues to cheer as the scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Clyde Sutter walking backstage, an arrogant smirk on his face. He takes a few more steps before we see Chris Cannon walking over to him. Clyde smirks.

 

Clyde: “What do you want?”

 

Chris: “Wanted to talk. Was a bit impressed out there. Someone who’s like me. Comes, fights, does their thing.”

 

Clyde: “Yeah, I don’t need your praise.”

 

Clyde goes to walk off before Chris stops him.

 

Clyde: “Don’t touch me.”

 

Chris: “You should listen to me though. I hear you got some link to Glory Braddock.”

 

Clyde: “Something like that…”

 

Chris: “How about you link yourself with something better? What if I convinced you that you could make your career next week…”

 

Clyde smirks.

 

Clyde: “I’m listening.”

 

Chris: “Then I have one question…what do you think about Selena Frost?”

 

Clyde: “Annoying as hell.”

 

Chris: “Good. Because maybe you should demand a match against her. Do that…and the Beauty Factory may be able to help the world know your name.”

 

Clyde: “The blonde doesn’t want to fight her.”

 

Chris: “She doesn’t want to waste her time on this when she should be fighting for the World Title.”

 

Clyde: “So you need grunt work.”

 

Chris: “Wouldn’t be a grunt after this.”

 

Clyde smirks.

 

Clyde: “I’ll think about it.”

 

He then turns and walks off as we then cut away.

 

The scene opens up at ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Chris Cannon seems to be thinking something up.”

 

Knots: “Selena better be careful. Just a match. Maybe something for next week and something to undo this match Sasha booked to open tonight.”

 

Sharper: “Some big announcements so far. Sasha announcing both Chris Cannon will face James Evans and Selena Frost will face Sienna Swann in a Defying Gravity vs. Kiss of an Angel match at Apocalypse. We also expect to find out who will challenge the World Champion, whether it’s Konrad Raab or Alistaire Allocco at Apocalypse tonight.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, a lot still to be decided.”

 

Sharper: “But we really need to speak a bit further one what happened last week to close this program. Xander Valentine doing one of the biggest no-nos in professional wrestling, going into the crowd and attacking fans. As Sasha noted, he has been suspended and SCW has done their part to try and make those fans affected recover from this. But Xander Valentine was also charged. He is cooperating with the investigation.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and he’s out on bail from what we were told, but we know he’s not here. He can’t cross the border. Canada won’t let him in. So he’s watching at home, and you wonder what he’s thinking about what he’s seen.”

 

Sharper: “But not just that, we know he submitted something to SCW to play tonight. Sasha has elected not to share them. He’s suspended and frankly, I used to respect what Xander Valentine had done in that ring. I no longer respect anything of his. What he did last week was simply unacceptable and frankly, I won’t be surprised if that’s the last time we saw him in an SCW arena.”

 

Knots: “Legally at least.”

 

Sharper: “That’s the thing and SCW I know will be ready next week if Xander attempts to follow the show. My hope is that there have been some limits on his ability to travel, but we will see.”

 

The arena turns black. On the screen, scenes of post-apocalyptic landscapes haunt the darkness. Over the speakers, an eerie synth pad sets the mood as a deep, raspy voice begins speaking:

 

“The car’s on fire, and there’s no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows…

The government is corrupt and we’re on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.

It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves. Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upward, everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said ‘Kiss me. You’re beautiful. These are truly the last days. You grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.” 

A chorus of strings play a melancholic tune as a pale spotlight settles at the top of the ramp. There, it falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight, dark jeans and a black hoodie. She stops at the top of the ramp and stares out into the darkness of the crowd and sea of jeers that flood her way.

 

Sharper: “Datura has not been seen in SCW since Rise to Greatness. She’s made a number of cryptic messages on social media. Tonight, she addresses her match with the Hellcat, Regan Street.”

 

Datura trudges down the ramp, and the light follows. The silhouette of hands reaching out to grab her can be seen on the outskirts of the light. Datura ignores them as she climbs up the steps. She then stops and looks into the ring. She stands on the apron, almost frozen, looking at the canvas before slowly stepping through the ropes. She looks down at the middle of the ring.

 

Sharper: “She has not taken her eyes off that one spot in the ring.”

 

Knots: “That’s the exact spot she was pinned at Rise to Greatness. That exact spot Regan hit the CATastrophe and ended months of uncertainty.”

 

Datura then walks over and grabs a microphone waiting for her. She slowly turns around, again looking at the spot before slowly dropping down to the mat and sitting cross-legged. She then continues to look at that spot for a few moments longer before the music fades out. Datura’s eyes don’t leave it as she slowly brings the microphone to her mouth.

 

Datura: “She beat me.”

 

The crowd cheers as Datura continues to look at the spot in the ring. She scoffs a bit.

 

Datura: “Regan Street beat me.”

 

Datura finally removes her eyes from the spot and looks jup at the crowd.

 

Datura: “I hope it was worth it, Regan. I hope the victory tasted as sweet as you wanted it. I hope you now follow going forward that you stand having been victorious after your latest rival.”

 

Datura pauses.

 

Datura: “I hope you can last when you have no one to place your nose oh so close to that proverbial grindstone.”

 

Datura pauses again as the crowd boos.

 

Datura: “I brought out the best in you. As you did me…and yet, here I sit…”

 

Datura turns back to the spot in the ring.

 

Datura: “Unfulfilled.”

 

Datura sighs. The crowd boos.

 

Datura: “Some of you may have parsed my words on social media. I am far from done with SCW. The question is what is next. What awaits me now? I am no longer bound to the Hellcat and my previous alliance, that to the Awesomeness which was Pint-Sized seems to be no longer in effect. So….”

 

Datura pauses when suddenly “Lucifer’s Angel” by the Rasmus plays. The crowd roars and then boos. Datura slowly forms a smile across her face. Smoke billows from the stage as a red hue comes over the arena. Damian Angel walks out from the back and looks down at the ring. He just looks down at Datura and shows a brief smile too. Datura slowly starts to stand up and focuses her eyes on the man known as the Hellbound Messiah, the Devil Himself, Damian Angel. Datura slowly brings the microphone to her lips, looking right at him.

 

Datura: “Satan himself…Oh how I welcome thee…”

 

Datura and Damian remain looking at one another as Damian’s music continues to play. Both smile as the crowd continues to make noise before the scene slowly fades to commercial.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Abigail Lindsay vs. Crissy Gardner

 

A loud purrrrrrrrrring engine can be heard from somewhere in the arena. The chorus of "Wreak Havoc" by Skylar Grey begins the play. Suddenly, a motorcycle burst from backstage. It stops at the top of the ramp, the person driving the motorcycle briefly takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be Abigail Lindsay. 

Phillips: “Introducing first.... From Los Angeles, California, she is Abigail “Serenity” Lindsay!”

Abigail places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles the ring twice. The bike comes to a halt. Serenity slides off, takes off her helmet. She hops on the apron apron, proving how flexible she is she lifts one leg off, then drops down in a full split. she slides under the bottom rope. She slumps down into the corner waiting for the match to start.

Sharper: “This woman has been turning a lot of heads lately, her actions at Rise to Greatness, some plan or plot with Ravyn Taylor... last week they tried to trap Jordan Majors but Jordan escaped.”

Knots: “Jordan Majors seems to be making a career out of escaping Abigail.... or are we supposed to call her Serenity now? Ha! Unintentional pun!”

Sharper: “I don't think she's very serene after last week and getting attacked by Glory Braddock. Tonight she faces Crissy Garnder and I just hope there's no interference.”

The screech of a vulture is heard over the loud speaker before the opening guitar riff of Stitched Up Hearts' "Is This The Way To Hell" comes shredding through. The fans start to anticipate who is going be walking through the curtain. As the fans in the arena are cheering wildly as the lights in the arena as pair of strobe lights situated on the left and right side of the stage start to flash. The one on the light is purple in color while the one on the right is white, but the pair are flashing alternatively to give the illusion that they are custom cop car lights.

Phillips: “And her opponent... from New York City, she is the Serial Thrilla Crissy Gardner!”

A spotlight focuses on the center of the stage where Crissy is standing with both of her arms raised in the air. She's wearing nearly complete black wrestling attire with the exception of purple accents. As she just stands there listening to the fans cheer her she starts to bring down her arms and she starts loosening up her wrists. Crissy makes her way down the ramp and climbs up on the apron before sliding under the rope into the ring. She hops to her feet, and knocks her fists together like a boxer as her music fades.

Sharper: “Crissy Gardner no doubt looking to gain some traction following Rise to Greatness, she was one of the entrants in the kick-off show battle royal that Asher Hayes won. He'll be in action later tonight.”

Knots: “Crissy won't gain much with her back turned to Abigail like that... see?!”

Abigail runs at Crissy from behind, we hear the bell ring just as Abigail nails Crissy in the back of the head with a forearm. Crissy stumbles forward. She gains her footing and spins, glaring. Abigail smirks at her and waves. Crissy rolls her eyes and shakes her head. She then lunges at Abigail and goes for a forearm, but Abigail blocks it, and the two lock up. Crissy transitions to hold Abigail from behind. She appears to be trying for a suplex early but Abigail escapes and ducks under, grabbing Crissy from behind. Abigail then applies an abdominal stretch. She then drives her elbow into Crissy's ribs. The crowd oohs. Crissy grabs at her ribs and tries to get out of the hold, but Abigail pulls harder. She then drills another elbow shot to the ribs. Crissy yells in pain. Abigail releases the hold, but keeps a grip on Crissy's arm. She whips her into the ropes. Crissy bounces back and Abigail boots her in the abdomen. Abigail then grabs her head and tries for a DDT but Crissy shoves her off. She then runs the ropes and Abigail ducks but Crissy gets her knee up right into Abigail's face. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay-”

Knots: “Serenity! Abigail is dead.”

Sharper: “…. Abigail had the upper hand at first there, but Crissy found an opening and now she needs to build on it.”

Knots: “Serenity is gonna run you over like she did Ace Marshall.”

Crissy follows up with a back elbow, then runs the ropes and takes Abigail down with a sling blade. She goes for a cover.

1!

Abigail shoots her shoulder up. They both get up quick and Abigail immediately spins and drills Crissy with a discus clothesline. Crissy goes down hard, flipping over as she does. Abigail stomps Crissy in the ribs, the same area she elbowed earlier. Crissy rolls over to cover her ribs. Abigail walks around the ring, surveying her work. Some boos can be heard. Abigail then leans on the ropes, arms draped across the top rope, as she waits for Crissy to get up.

Sharper: “Just look at the arrogance there.”

Knots: “I don't think she's arrogant, I think maybe she's bored.”

Crissy gets to her feet, and looks around for Abigail. She sees her, and runs at her. Abigail pushes from the ropes and runs too, they meet in the center of the ring, both throwing punches. The crowd roars. Both land good shots but Abigail gets the better of the exchange, then grabs Crissy's head and plants her with a DDT. She then starts to make a cover, but when she gets to one knee, she changes her mind, shaking her head with a smirk. Abigail gets back to her feet and pulls Crissy up, then sends her into the corner hard.

Sharper: “Come on! Abigail could have made a cover there and she chose not to. And Crissy hitting the turnbuckles hard there.”

Knots: “Guess Serenity isn't bored anymore!”

Abigail goes to the corner and gets on the second rope. She holds Crissy's head with one hand and elbows her with the other. The crowd boos. Abigail hops down, still holding on to Crissy's hair. She starts to pull her out of the corner, but Crissy grabs Abigail's arm with both hands, and spins her around, knocking Abigail into the corner. She then plants a roundhouse kick into Abigail's chest. Abigail slumps back into the corner. Crissy pulls her up to her feet then steps back and jumps, taking Abigail down with a hurricanrana. She makes a cover.

1!

2!

Abigail kicks out. Crissy gets up and Abigail rolls away a bit before getting to her feet. She turns and Crissy is waiting for her. They trade punches again, this time Crissy gets the upper hand... until Abigail gets her with an eye poke. The official starts to admonish her, but she puts her hands up shaking her head.

Abigail: “Oopsy... that was an accident!”

Crissy, holding her eye with one hand, shakes her head. The official warns Abigail once more then backs away. Abigail smirks at Crissy, drawing boos.

Sharper: “That wasn't an accident!”

Knots: “It was smart, though.”

Crissy rubs her eye then swings at Abigail, connecting with a hard right. Abigail staggers back a bit. Crissy goes for another, but Abigail blocks it, then lands a spinning heel kick. Crissy steps back, but keeps her feet. Abigail gets annoyed by this, and hits another spinning heel kick. This time Crissy falls to her back. Abigail looks at the corner, noting the distance. She goes to it and climbs up to the top as Crissy stirs. Abigail squats on the top rope waiting for Crissy to stand up. When she does, Abigail leaps and nails the Serenity Now! Some cheer for the spectacular move, but they become boos when Abigail doesn't make a cover. Instead, she drags Crissy away from the ropes.

Sharper: “What is Abigail doing now? She has this won, why won't she cover?”

Knots: “I think she wants to make a statement!”

Abigail then rolls Crissy over and drops, wrapping her legs around Crissy's head in a figure four formation, pulling back on her head.

Knots: “Told you! The Ta-Ta For Now! And Crissy Gardner has nowhere to go.”

Crissy tries for a second to escape but then taps. The bell rings. Abigail pulls back a little harder for a second before letting go.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, by submission... Abigail “Serenity” Lindsay!”

Abigail gets up as Crissy rolls over. The official raises Abigail's hand. She then pulls her arm away and goes over to Crissy, who is on her back and holding her neck. Abigail stands over her. The crowd murmurs.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay with the submission victory here, but what does she have in mind here?”

Knots: “Maybe she wants to play?”

Crissy starts to sit up, but Abigail pushes her back down with her boot. She then digs into her pocket and pulls something out in her fist. The shot closes in and we see Abigail drop a small clump of pink-dyed hair across Crissy's chest. She then laughs as she goes to the apron and out of the ring.

Sharper: “My God... that has to be a message to Jordan Majors.”

Knots: “Probably found it in her apartment from-”

Sharper: “Jon!”

Crissy sits up, sees the hair, and brushes it off. We cut to Abigail still laughing as she gets on her motorcycle to ride back up the ramp. The crowd boos as we cut away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Abigail Lindsay driving her motorcycle backstage. She slows down seeing Jessica Winters. She smirks as she flips up her helmet.

 

Abigail: “I assume you want to speak to me.”

 

Jessica: “Well Abigail, I do have a question, a follow-up. We just saw you give a message of some sort to Jordan Majors-“

 

Abigail: “No, no, no. That was not just my message. That was from Ravyn too.”

 

Jessica: “Alright…um…then what about Glory Braddock’s message to you. She came out, attacked you, and told you, that could be the end.”

 

Abigail smirks and chuckles a bit.

 

Abigail: “Not on her life. Glory…take me down. I dare you!”

 

Abigail then flips the helmet visor down before starting to driving off as we cut away.

 

Gavin Taylor vs. Peyton Rice

SCW Television Championship

 

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

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

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, has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. Making his official debut in Supreme Championship Wrestling, from Los Angeles, California…”

 

The crowd boos as Gavin looks around.

 

Phillips: “He is the All Star, Gavin Taylor!”


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: “Some history here, but talk about a chance to immediately add to the impact made last week. He brought up old problems and angered a whole bunch of people going after Kandis. Now tonight, he could be Television Champion.”

 

Knots: “Hey, he’s come in and pissed everyone off. That’s a hell of a talent he’s got. And now he’s even pissed off Canada, not hailing from his home country.”

 

Sharper: “Born in Vancouver. Then again, after his actions last week, throwing water into the face of Kandis and then catching her with a kick before running off, Canada may not want him.”

 

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

 

Phillips: “His opponent, from Glendale, Arizona, she is the SCW Television Champion, Not Just a Pretty Face, Peyton Rice!”
 
With her gorgeous and contagious smile, Peyton starts to walk to the ring, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before hopping into the apron and pointing the crowd before flipping over the top rope as the crowd roars and stepping on the second rope, raising her arms and looking up. The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little, standing in the corner and awaiting for the match to begin. The referee takes the SCW Television Championship and sets back and goes to raise it over his head. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

 

Sharper: “Peyton Rice has been as proud of a competitive champion as we’ve had in SCW. She’s been fighting at the top of her game including a hell of a match against Kelsai Adamson-Mason at Rise to Greatness weekend.”

 

Knots: “But it’s an endurance title and she’s had a lot on the go. The break may have helped but jumping right back in. Drake Hemingway last week. Gavin Taylor tonight.”

 

Gavin looks at Peyton who glares at Gavin. The crowd roars as the bell sounds. The two circle around and lunge. They go for a collar and elbow tie-up, but Peyton drops down and goes for the legs. She then takes him down to the mat and dives forward into a side headlock. She pulls up on his head. Gavin rolls over and grabs at Peyton. Gavin starts to pull herself up as Peyton holds on. Gavin pulls Peyton into the ropes and fires her off. Peyton bounces off and Gavin moves forward and shoulders her down. Gavin throws his arms up. The crowd boos. Gavin turns and runs into the ropes and the crowd starts to cheer. He then bounces off, before stopping and yelling out “oh crap!” The camera turns to show Ryan Watson running down to the ring. A few feet behind him is Kandis and then Tommy. Ryan slides into the ring as Gavin turns and quickly goes through the ropes, going to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Gavin diving out of the ring! Ryan Watson, Tommy Valentine and Kandis, all coming after him!”

 

Knots: “Ryan Watson leading the way!”

 

Gavin turns and runs over to the timekeeper and grabs the SCW Television Championship. Peyton Rice walks over and looks at him. (1) The crowd boos as Gavin looks around and Ryan steps through the ropes and drops down.(2) Tommy and Kandis run around the ring. Gavin then throws then TV Championship at Tommy and Kandis. Kandis catches it as Gavin turns and hops over the barricade.(3) Ryan grabs him, but Tommy reaches over and grabs Gavin only for Gavin to turn and nail Tommy. Tommy falls back and Ryan pushes him out of the way and steps over and jogs into the crowd a bit.(4) Immediately, we see security starting to move into the area, surrounding Ryan Watson. (5) Ryan looks around. He snaps at them as we see two running with Gavin. (6)

 

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor running through the crowd!”

 

Knots: “He’s just giving up a TV Title shot? And security all over Watson!”

 

Sharper: “I think some even followed Gavin. But security moved to quickly end any fight through the crowd.”

 

Knots: “Did they strike him though? The referee is still counting!”

 

Ryan Watson starts to yell at the security.

 

Watson: “Way to go ya [bleep]omble! Lettin’ him get away.”

 

One of the guards can be heard telling Watson to return to the ringside area. (7) Ryan just holds his hands up briefly before stepping back. (8) He exits the ringside area as Peyton looks around. The crowd boos as Gavin Taylor can be seen running around, flanked by two guards. (9) He throws his arms up as he jumps over the barricade at the end. The guards stop following him. (10) Ryan then points over as the bell sounds. The crowd boos some as Tommy shoves Ryan back, upset with his response as Kandis gets between them.

 

Tommy: “Ya want to let me handle it. Focus on your match. Don’t need you to play hero1”

 

Kandis: “Hey! Focus on him. He’s backstage again! Come on!”

 

Kandis turns and heads off as Peyton turns and steps through to the apron.

 

Peyton: “Hey! You mind giving me something that’s not yours.”

 

Kandis looks at the TV Championship which she still has before turning and throwing it into the ring. Peyton just looks at her and shakes her head as Kandis turns and heads off. Tommy snaps at Ryan. Ryan just shakes his head as Tommy heads off with Ryan a few feet behind. Peyton grabs her title. The referee raises her arm.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via countout, and still SCW Television Champion, Peyton Rice!”

 

The crowd cheers some Peyton shakes her head and holds her title over her head. She then steps back as we see Kandis and Tommy heading along the side of the rampway. Ryan watches them and heads up the rampway.

 

Sharper: “Peyton Rice celebrating. Not the way she wanted to retain.”

 

Knots: “But not just that, Kandis and Peyton reminding everyone they don’t care for each other. But Tommy and Ryan seem to be getting in each other’s way.”

 

Sharper: “Ryan wants to protect a friend. Tommy wants to protect something else. Kandis just wants revenge. Gavin Taylor able to get away with a help of security. Hopefully we can get some clarification about what just happened here in this one.”

 

Peyton puts her title over her shoulder as we cut away.

Backstage, Breakdown returns as we see Gavin Taylor walking backstage, his eyes darting around, clearly looking out for the Jackass and Big Ass Connection and Ryan Watson. Gavin then turns and quickly looks around before running over to hide into an outcove. A few moments pass before we see Tommy Valentine walking into the scene.

 

Tommy: “Where the hell is this jackass?”

 

Tommy takes a few steps forward before stopping and just as he turns, we see Gavin grabbing a storage crate, pulling it along the wall and then turning and shoving it toward Tommy. Gavin gets up.

 

Tommy: “He’s here!”

 

Gavin runs off and just then, we see him run forward as Kandis runs over and kicks him in the shins. Gavin falls forward and rolls through. He starts to get up and Kandis moves in and nails him with a hard right. Gavin falls back and backs away, while on his ass, holding his hands up.

 

Gavin: “Hold it! Hold it! Wait!”

 

Kandis steps forward as Tommy walks over, looking annoyed.

 

Gavin: “Don’t get angry! I mean…shouldn’t you be flattered I picked you to make my grand debut!”

 

Kandis: “You made me think you were going to throw scalding water me you asshole!”

 

Kandis steps forward and goes to grab him, but Gavin kicks at her. Kandis falls back and Gavin gets up and runs forward and stops, backing up and looking around as Ryan Watson walks over.

 

Ryan: “Oy! Look at this. Told ya I wanted to give ya a taste of a real fight.”

 

Gavin: “Hey! Look! We’re supposed to be brothers! Yeah! Brothers! Comrades in arms! All trying to compete for the best of those fans. Most of them came to see me, that’s true, but!”

 

Ryan steps forward.

 

Kandis: “No…let me!”

 

Kandis steps forward now and Ryan smirks. Tommy watches Ryan as Kandis runs over and grabs at Gavin. She nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Gavin pulls away, and Kandis pulls at his hair. Gavin yells out and we then see officials coming onto the scene. The crowd boos as Gavin steps forward. He then hugs Dean Black who enters the scene.

 

Ryan: “Ya got great timin’!”

 

Tommy: “We can take care of this now. Avoid more of what happened!”

 

Sasha then comes into the scene as the crowd cheers some. Gavin immediately stops hugging Dean Black.

 

Gavin: “Sasha! Oh! Thank God! You understand what I was trying to do.”

 

Gavin goes to hug her, but Sasha extends her hand into his chest.

 

Sasha: “Please don’t hug me.”

 

Gavin: “Not a hugger. That’s fine…fistbump?”

 

Kandis: “How about an asskicking?”

 

Gavin: “Honey, we need more than three hours! Ha!”

 

Kandis steps forward and the officials stop her. Gavin turns to Sasha.

 

Gavin: “Don’t go too hard on them. They just don’t understand the value of making an impact!”

 

Gavin turns to walk off. Sasha stops him.

 

Sasha: “Where are you going?”

 

Gavin: “Oh…you want me to watch. Probably for HR. Got it.”

 

Gavin turns and smirks, folding his arms.

 

Sasha: “Actually no. More that I actually sympathize with Kandis here, especially given what you made her think you were going to do. You may not realize it, but we did watch EMERGE closely and you want to play those games here? You can deal with the consequences.”

 

Gavin: “I get it. You just want to make sure I’m making you money, but-“

 

Sasha: “No, I want to ensure we have more things getting settled in the ring, than outside of it. Hence the added security. I’m not taking chances.”

 

Ryan: “Great timin’ again!”

 

Tommy: “Would you shut up?”

 

Ryan: “Not me strong suit. Just ask Autumn. We take turns wit’ the duct tape!”

 

Sasha: “But Gavin, you can deal with this. At Apocalypse, you’re right. You’re going to get in the ring. But you’re going to face the Jackass and Big Ass Connection! You want to go after Kandis and piss off Tommy, you can deal with both.”

 

The crowd roars. Gavin looks around. Kandis and Tommy smirks as Tommy walks over, wrapping his arm around Kandis.

 

Gavin: “But I don’t have a partner?! This isn’t fair!”

 

Sasha: “Then you better find one. Work on your other skills. Find someone who can tolerate you! Now you can leave!”

 

Gavin looks at them and huffs before walking off. Tommy turns to Ryan.

 

Tommy: “Guess I’m gonna help out. Ya gonna be fine.”

 

Ryan: “Better not bugger it up.”

 

Ryan then turns and walks off. Kandis watches him leave as she then turns to Tommy. Tommy just watches him leave.

 

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor is going to have to deal with Tommy Valentine and Kandis! He’ll need to find a partner.”

 

Knots: “Sasha could’ve made him face all three. But I’m guessing the Tag Titles may be preventing that.”

 

Sharper: “Never mind that I think we can all see the tension between Ryan and Tommy. You wonder how much of that is personal, how much of that revolves around the Tag Titles! Ryan and Autumn beat Tommy and Kandis for them. Kandis and Ryan are good friends. Ryan helped train her. So…I’ll be very interested how this all turns out.”

 

The scene cuts to another part of the building. We see Autumn Valentine talking to Ravyn Taylor backstage as the crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Speaking of which…”

 

Ravyn: “Now, Autumn, I am merely trying to make good on a promise, but it’s a promise you fully know that I’m being sincere in.”

 

Autumn: “Ryan and I just won them. And look, we’re having a blast.”

 

Ravyn: “He’s chasing a young man seeking to add to his infamy. We already obtained it. Ryan once did too.”

 

Autumn sighs and Ravyn looks right at her, grabbing her shoulders to look right in her eyes.

 

Ravyn: “I will only say that if you do this for me, for Christy, you know full well that I will return a favour you wish in kind. That’s a powerful thing. And you should understand that.”

 

Autumn: “It’s not that, Ravyn. If I was teaming with anyone else, this is simple. It’s Ryan. And frankly, if he could threw CHBK into oncoming traffic, I think he would. With him with you guys…I don’t know…I’ll talk to him, but I can’t promise anything.”

 

Ravyn nods. She then steps back.

 

Ravyn: “Understandable.”

 

Autumn: “Sorry.”

 

Ravyn: “Don’t apologize, Autumn. I understand this more than you realize.”

 

Ravyn then turns and walks off.

 

Jessica Winters is seen standing at the SCW interview area.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, Jessica Winters backstage and joining me at this time, the man who in mere moments will challenge for the World Championship, Konrad Raab!”

 

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Konrad Raab walks into view, wearing the rainbow-coloured mask.

 

Jessica: “Konrad. Last we saw you, you defeated Damian Angel, but now, you challenge for the SCW World Championship in Alistaire Allocco’s first title defense. Alistaire Allocco chose you to be that first defense. Now, you faced Damian Angel, breaking the spell, but yet you still use the mask he and Giovanni Aries provided you.”

 

Konrad: “Because no matter what they claimed, this….this is where I feel most myself. Most in control. Most able to use everything I have within me in that ring.”

 

Konrad pauses.

 

Konrad: “I just refuse to be under the thumb of two individuals with little good in them. As for Alistaire’s comments, I still fight for what I think is right. And in a few moments, I am going to go to that ring, and use everything I have learned about myself in the last three months, guided by this mask, and unlocking my true potential, and I will do all I can to walk out World Champion. I am honoured you picked me first Alistaire. But after tonight, you may simply regret it!”

 

Jessica: “Thank you Konrad. Good luck in your challenge! Adam?”

 

Konrad turns and walks off.

 

Sharper: “Konrad Raab seems set – Alistaire Allocco ready for his first defense. Konrad Raab challenges Allocco for the SCW World Championship, here on Breakdown, in Toronto, next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Konrad Raab vs. Alistaire Allocco

SCW World Championship

 

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his red, green and blue mask along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iced Rainbow on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right shoulder, Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back, ice wolf on his left chest and ice bear on his right chest.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Championship! First, the challenger, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Iced Rainbow, Konrad Raab!”

He ignores the fans due to his focus on wanting to fight in the ring. He goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes before sitting down in the corner of the ring with the crowd cheering for him, having a nasty look in his eyes waiting for the match to start.

 

Sharper: “All business for Konrad Raab. The biggest opportunity he has had in SCW. He could walk out tonight the World Champion.”

 

Knots: “You heard him. Damian and Giovanni may have helped him. May have given him clarity and then he’s using it for himself.”

 

Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes!
Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes, that's where the fire lies!

The spotlights shine forth from the stage, bathing the entire arena in blinding white lights corresponding with a verse of “Eyes Like Fire” by Collision of Innocence. A figure stands in front of the curtains, his arms are extended horizontally, and his legs spread. His back is turned to the audience. His presence incites a chorus of cheers from the crowd. As the bright lights starts to dim, you can tell the man is wearing pure white tights. A blood red sleeveless coat stretching from his defined torso down to his equally bright white boots. The SCW World Championship is around his waist. Alistaire kicks out his leg to turn to face the crowd as the chorus of his theme kicks in.

 

Phillips: “His opponent, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is the reigning and defending World Champion, Alistaire Allocco!”


He begins to walk down the ramp with his dark eyes staring intently upon the ring before him. He marches down with purpose, waving and smiling to the children in the crowd. He stops at the bottom of the ramp for a moment, before launching forward, sliding into the ring. Once in the ring, he discards his coat by tossing it to the referee. He’s in the center of the ring, he’s hops up and down, switching his weight behind his feet as he stands. He then takes the title off from around his waist and holds it over his head. As the song begins to fade out, Alistaire stares at his goal. He then turns and hands it to senior referee Aaron Demitra, the official of this match. Demitra takes it, holding the title over his head as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen.

 

Sharper: “Allocco all business too. Two people who know what this means. One personally, the other one, for everything he stands for.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, well, we’re going to find out if Raab is going to play ball with his plan!”

 

Demitra hands off the title and backs up. He checks with Raab, who nods, and then checks with Allocco. He nods too. The bell sounds. The crowd cheers as Raab and Allocco step out from their respective corners before lunging and locking up in the middle of the ring. Allocco quickly turns into an arm wrench. Raab winces and Allocco jerks on the arm. Raab falls to a knee. Allocco then wrenches the arm again before Raab turns and pushes Allocco back into the corner. Demitra moves in, calling for the break.

Raab ducks under and grabs the arm of Allocco, locking in a hammerlock. Allocco moves to a seated position as Raab pulls up. Allocco ducks under and moves around before getting free and moving into a side headlock. Raab remains on his knees. Allocco holds on as Raab starts to pull himself up. He then pulls Allocco back into the ropes and fires him off. Allocco bounces off and Raab shoulders him down. He turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Allocco goes to take him down. Raab hopes over. He runs into the opposite side. He bounces off. Allocco jumps up and leap frogs over him. Raab bounces off the ropes again and Allocco goes for a hip toss. Raab, however spins through and takes him down. Allocco rolls over and moves to the corner. Raab looks at him and Allocco nods again.

 

Sharper: “A nice hip toss and almost like Raab is trying to make clear that he’ll happily play Allocco’s game.”

 

Knots: “He’s experience. The man’s fought all over the world. He’s got to have learned a few tricks!”

 

Sharper: “Let’s not forget that Allocco is still relatively new.”

 

Allocco steps up and the two lock up again. Raab then pulls back and runs him forward into the ropes. Allocco bounces off and Raab hits an arm drag.

Raab gets up and Allocco turns and hits a hip throw. Raab rolls through. He gets up and Alistaire forearms him in the jaw. He then wrenches his arm and Raab goes for a hard right, Alistaire ducks and Raab spins around, only for Alistaire to grab him and hits a back suplex. He turns for the pin.

Knots: “Going for a hold!”

 

Alistaire turns and then steps through the legs of Raab. Raab fights a bit before Alistaire turns him over and locks in a sharpshooter, leading the crowd to erupt in cheers. Alistaire sits down as Raab yells in pain.

 

Sharper: “Sharpshooter is as Canadian as Tim Hortons! And Alistaire Allocco has it locked in in the middle of the ring, here in Toronto!”

Raab looks down, wincing in pain before rolling out of the ring.

 

Sharper: “Allocco victorious in his first defense. The first challenge in the books.”

 

Knots: “And it looks like Allocco is playing a role in giving people their due. We’ll see though. Nothing decided about Glory Braddock or Syren. Sienna. She’s got Selena!”

 

Allocco continues to head to the back as we cut away.

 

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage where Jessica Winters is standing by with an announcement and much more.”

 

Jessica Winters stands in the backstage area.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Adam. Yes, I have been just informed by Sasha herself who will be the next challenges to the SCW World Tag Team Champions. Perhaps hearing of Ravyn Taylor’s discussion with Autumn Valentine or maybe this was the plan all along, I did not press her, given everything else she’s managing tonight, but please welcome the next challenges to Zero Effs to Give…Marie Jones and Kimberly Williams, Twin Magic!”

 

The crowd cheers as Marie Jones and Kim Williams come into the scene. Kim has a staple gun in her hand.

 

Kim: “I have a gift for Ryan! I hope you have something to give for this! STAPLE! STAPLE! STAPLE!”

 

The crowd chants with her as Marie shakes her head.

 

Jessica: “Big opportunity for you two, but also an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of your mother and aunt, the Sisterhood. Sasha giving you the opportunity. But Ryan Watson and Autumn Valentine are a very different team.”

 

Marie: “One that doesn’t seem to care about rules or anything else. Maybe even slapping the face of other people. We all saw what they did at Rise to Greatness weekend. Impressive in one sense. But we all know you were trying to twist the screw into the backs of the Truelove Twins.”

 

Kim: “But now you gotta deal with different twins!”

 

Marie: “And probably crazier right?”

 

Kim: “Oh yeah. I mean, they don’t have a staple gun!”

 

Kim smiles.

 

Marie: “And Ryan, Autumn…well, later tonight, when Kim faces you Ryan, we can show you exactly what you’re in for.”

 

Kim: “STAPLE!”

 

The crowd roars as Kim and Marie head off. Jessica turns to the camera.

 

Jessica: “We’ll be back with more.”

 

The camera turns as we see London and Paris Truelove watching from down the hallway. Paris turns and walks off as the scene cuts to black.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we open up backstage to see Spirit Dansby standing with Alistaire Allocco in the backstage area.

 

Spirit: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown. I’m Spirit Dansby and with me at this time is the just victorious SCW World Champion, Alistaire Allocco. Alistaire, a lot of people have been talking backstage about who will be the next challenger, presumably at Apocalypse. Glory Braddock and Syren both staked a claim. Sienna Swann did, but given other decisions, it seem she will, in my mind, unfairly have to wait.”

 

Alistaire: “Her decisions have consequences. Just like Xander Valentine’s did. Just like mine do. They’re just proportional to what we do. Sienna Swann was driven by self-interest. She couldn’t help herself. Again, I have no criticism of her pure talent. But the fact is that she had her opportunity and was unable to defeat Syren, despite her bravado. The same could be said of Glory Braddock. She claimed she would beat Syren at her own game. That I was naïve. Pardon my confidence, but I stand here as World Champion while she does not. She wishes a shot against me one on one. I argue she’s already had her shot and came up short. She can earn another one.”

 

Alistaire pauses again as he then looks up as Casterillo walks past him. They share a look as the crowd boos. Casterillo then walks off. Alistaire refocuses and turns back to Spirit.

 

Alistaire: “And finally Syren. For months she has flouted the rules, proving that nothing is greater than her desire to hold onto this title. I proved to her that my competitive fire was too much for her plotting and scheming. But until she learns her lesson, I’m sorry, but I cannot say I would be happy to see Syren standing across from me. As far as I am concerned, she has done nothing to earn a rematch.”

 

Spirit: “So to borrow a question from our boss, the same one she asked Bree earlier, who do you feel deserves the shot?”

 

Alistaire: “There are many worthy challengers. Just like Konrad. He may not have won, but he should not be disappointed with his effort. Despite all of the games going on in his mind, he came and gave me a match worthy of this championship. Showing me the heart he was known for. I just hope it keeps him focused. As for whomever is against me, I will be honest, just as I was about Glory, about Sienna, and about Syren. This championship represents greatness. It deserves to be treated as such with the best wrestling on the planet. I know I can hold up my end. I expect my opponents to do so as well!”

 

Spirit: “Thank you for your com-“

 

Adam: “Ali! Boy! Come on! We need to go and talk. Sasha has something to talk to you about. Sounds like she’s got your next challenger lined up!”

 

Adam walks into the scene and wraps his arm around Alistaire. Alistaire pulls away slightly.

 

Alistaire: “Allow me to clean up and I will see her.”

 

Alistaire heads off as Adam looks at him. Spirit just watches both before Adam turns to her.

 

Adam: “That’s my son. World Champion…”

 

Adam smiles.

 

Adam: “So…want to see if we can do better?”

 

Spirit just pulls away.

 

Adam: “What?! I can lead you to SCW gold too!”

 

Adam shrugs as we cut away.

 

Casterillo vs. Kelsai Adamson-Mason

 

Phillips: The following is a contest scheduled for one fall with no time limit.

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

Phillips: Introducing first, from Vangsa, Denmark and weighing 285 pounds …..Casterillo!

Sharper: Welcome back to Breakdown everyone. I am seriously concerned about our next match because I know that this man who will be standing in the ring momentarily in Casterillo has some very bad intentions.

Knots: Very bad intentions and to be perfectly honest I do think that opponent tonight has any idea, which is even more dangerous.

The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He immediately springs right into action looking toward the back as “Remember the Name” hits as fans go into a fever pitch

Phillips: His opponent, from Seattle, Washington, and weighing 117 pounds….Kelsai Adamson-Mason!

Sharper: Here comes Kelsai Adamson-Mason ladies and gentlemen and I just hope that Amy Chastaine has taken the opportunity before this match to let Kelsai know just how lethal Casterillo can be because I am not sure that Kelsai is aware.

Knots: Kelsai is not aware is a polite way of saying that Kelsai is a little short on the upkeep mentally so to speak. I mean she did when talking about this match up that Casterillo was “a bit of a sour puss” but that she would “love him through it.”

Kelsai walks to the ring quickly and confidently while "Remember the Name" plays in the background and she has the hugest smile on her face while her manager Amy Chastaine walks by her side, smiling brightly.

Sharper: We are also very happy to report that Amy is allowed to return to ringside while Kelsai wrestles just this week in the aftermath of Rise to Greatness.

Knots: Yes Amy could have had it a lot worse after limping to the back with Andrew Raynes but she can continue managing Kelsai and being here for her matches at ringside, something that I know Kelsai is excited about.

Arriving to the ring, Kelsai jumps from the floor to the ring apron before she steps through the ropes, reveals her simple all white attire, and goes to her corner, smiling and waving enthusiastically, before she gets ready for her match, with Amy keeping watch from the corner outside as we hear our opening bell.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

No sooner does the bell sound and Kelsai finds herself ran over by the mack truck that is Casterillo, destroying her with a huge corner clothesline that turns Kelsai inside out before she lands with a thud and the crowd erupts in a chorus of boos which makes Casterillo smile.

Sharper: Well I was afraid of this happening, and now this might be a very short contest, which really won’t be a contest at all if Kelsai isn’t careful.

Knots: Someone needs to see how that being loved through it is working out for her, but I don’t think that this is going to be short unfortunately. Did you see the look on Casterillo’s face? I think he is going to savor this.

Casterillo is very deliberate, letting Kelsai crawl back up to her feet only to hit her with a clubbing blow on the back which send her right back down. She doesn’t stay that way for long however, as this time Casterillo picks her right back up and goes for a fireman’s carry slamming her hard to the ground as Amy Chastaine looks on from the outside with obvious concern when Casterillo looks at her and smiles the crowd still reigning down boos

Sharper: Casterillo dominating in this match up and now he is mocking Amy Chastaine on the outside as well as Kelsai really is in a very dangerous situation in the early going.

Knots: Yeah, not too many are to be quite honestly, but I really don’t think that Amy and Casterillo during her time in SCW if that look she just gave him was any indication.

Picking her up with ease again, Casterillo crushes Kelsai under his weight with a side suplex before making a cover….

No! Kickout by Kelsai Adamson-Mason!

Casterillo just drops a fist in the middle of Kelsai’s skull before making the cover for a second time.

No! Kickout by Kelsai Adamson-Mason

Sharper: Kelsai is showing a lot of resiliency but resiliency is making Amy Chastaine feel any better about Kelsai’s chances in this contest as this has still been all Casterillo.

Knots: Resiliency is a very worth while thing to have, but Kelsai needs to start showing some offense or we are going to have Casterillo came away the win, which think very few people want quite honestly.

Casterillo looks down at Kelsai and starts giving her mocking applause before reaching down and going to pick up Kelsai again. Kelsai surprises everyone though by rolling up Casterillo with a nearside cradle

No! Kickout by Casterillo!

That makes Casterillo incensed and picks up Kelsai after the near fall and he fires her into the ropes looking for a short clothesline. Kelsai ducks underneath that though and spins him around before catching Casterillo right under the chin with a drop kick as the fans wildly. Those cheers turn to looks of disbelief on the faces of many including Kelsai however as Casterillo is not even taken off his feet. With Casterillo staggered however, Kelsai starts firing some kicks repeatedly at his legs trying to cramp up his hamstrings. Finally able to do that as Casterillo starts reaching at the backs of his thighs Kelsai then connects with a spinning wheel kick to the face. This still does not take Casterillo down however, but he is staggered to a corner as the crowd cheers once more.

Sharper: It looks like Kelsai is finding some of that offense that you were talking about earlier, and maybe she is going to have a chance for the upset tonight.

Knots: She just has to remember to use her speed because Casterillo cannot match speed with Kelsai. If she gets caught being stationary however, Kelsai is as good as dead.

With Casterillo in a corner, Kelsai climbs up on the second rope and starts reigning down shots on his head with the crowd counting along with Kelsai.

Sharper: Kelsai has got Casterillo reeling!

Knots: Yes, but looks at Casterillo, she still hasn’t taken him off his feet!

Kelsai gets to the six shot on Casterillo but then he blocks the seventh before he hoists her up and then with Kelsai shaking her head no she is completely decimated by Trial by Fire before he makes the cover..

No! Kickout by Kelsai Adamson-Mason!

Now he is starting to get very frustrated and Casterillo starts to argue with the referee while Amy is in Kelsai’s corner trying to give Kelsai some encouragement as Casterillo is managing to distract himself. Casterillo finally turns his attention back to Kelsai slamming her down once again with a short arm lariat before going for the cover once again.

No! Shoulder up by Kelsai Adamson-Mason!

Sharper: You have to give it up for Kelsai Adamson-Mason, she is not giving up to Casterillo without a fight!

Knots: Yeah and by the way she is looking she is not giving up without Amy Chastaine having a full head of gray hair either watching her!

 

Casterillo gets up and grabs Kelsai. He then grabs her and turns and throws her out of the ring. Casterillo then turns and backflips over the top rope to the floor. (1) He turns and nails Kelsai with a hard right. (2) Kelsai rolls over. She stirs and Casterillo grabs her. (3) He then turns and whips her into the barricade. Kelsai hits hard. (4) Casterillo then walks over and grabs her again. He turns and whips her across again. (5) Kelsai this time jumps to the announce table and dives back with a twisting dropkick. (6) The crowd cheers. Amy applauds. She points to the ring. (7) Kelsai winces and rolls over. (8) She grabs at the ring skirt before looking at Casterillo. Casterillo stirs. (9) Kelsai rolls into the ring as Casterillo slowly pulls himself up. (10) The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via countout, Kelsai Adamson-Mason!”

 

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason just got in the ring in time. Casterillo is back up though!”

 

Knots: “Amy is trying to get Kelsai out of there!”

 

Kelsai rolls over as Amy motions to her. Kelsai rolls out of the ring as Casterillo slides in. He gets up and looks at her, wincing a bit. The referee tells him to stay back and CAsterillo turns and boots him in the face. Kelsai turns back to the ring, but Amy stops her. She shakes her head. Amy and Kelsai slowly head to the back as Casterillo looks at the official with disdain as the scene fades out.

 

Backstage, Jessica Winters is standing with James Evans. The crowd cheers seeing him.

 

Jessica: “James, last week, you attacked Chris Cannon and Sienna Swann and a lot of people are wondering why. A lot happened for you last week. You defeated Damian Angel. Giovanni Aries announced he was taking time away and then your attack-“

 

James: “What makes you think it’s not all connected…”

 

Jessica: “Care to explain?”

 

James smirks.

 

James: “I came for a fight. Damian Angel put one up, but not enough. When Giovanni came out, I was looking forward to showing just how thankful he thinks I am. And when he didn’t join me in the ring, well, I wasn’t done. I still wanted to fight!”

 

Jessica: “So you just went out and attacked Chris and Sienna? Why them?”

 

James looks at Jessica.

 

James: “Have you heard them? Chris Cannon thinks he’s a tough guy. Sienna Swann thinks she’s the greatest thing ever. I just wanted them to shut up and I hoped Chris would give me that fight I wanted. I was wrong…I probably should’ve guessed since all he’s done is run like a bitch from Kennedy Street for months. But I guess at Apocalypse, we get a do over. And Kennedy and I have had our ups and downs. But I think I’ll give her something more to smile about when I bloody you in front of the world.”

 

James smiles. The crowd cheers.

 

James: “Don’t be worrying about a title shot. Worry about defending your ass because at Apocalypse, I’m going to use you as my path back to the top of SCW. You’ve become nothing more than a stain in professional wrestling. This fling with Sienna makes me sick. And while others will call you out to your face and compete in the ring…I’ll come to fight!”

 

James turns and walks off. The crowd cheers as Jessica watches him leave, a bit concerned,

 

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as Syren is shown walking down another hallway backstage.

 

Sharper: “James Evans just wanted a fight.”

 

Knots: “And Chris Cannon was the target. I don’t know how Kennedy’s going to think about this.”

 

Sharper: “But next, Syren on her way to the ring alone.”

 

Knots: “Anyone want to guess what she’s going to say?”

 

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

 

The scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

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 “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up, we find Syren standing in the middle of the stage. The crowd boos loudly as Syren just looks out at the crowd, watching it, and scanning it, listening to all of the boos and the hate. Syren remains on the stage for a few moments longer before walking down the rampway by herself.

 

Sharper: “For the second week in a row, Syren on her way to the ring by herself.”

 

Knots: “Think she heard what Alistaire had to say about her and her title hopes?”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure she did. And I’m sure she’s going to say something about it.”

 

Syren walks down to the ring and looks to the crowd. She smirks at the Toronto crowd before she reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. She walks along the apron and steps into the ring. She then looks out at the crowd as she goes over to the corner and steps up and looks out at the crowd. More boos come to her as she just glares at them before hopping down. She then backs up and turns to the corner and is handed a microphone. She takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. Syren then looks around as her music fades out.

 

Syren: “Alistaire! This is how a true star speaks to the world. Not backstage. Not without the eyes of the public looking all over them. Right here. And it says something when I ask for mic time, I get it.”

 

Syren looks around as the crowd boos.

 

Syren: “And Alistaire, I have to yet again go through this song and dance. You say that I had my shot. You say that I squandered it. Oh Alistaire. For all of the people thinking you represent a champion, they’re just proving they’re as dumb as you are. It’s getting clearer by the week that you’re your father’s son because both of you think you are the world when you’re nothing more than pathetic men who need to realize you are competing in MY world. Adam couldn’t get used to me on top and you, Alistaire, are quickly showing the same.”

 

Syren then looks right at the main camera.

 

Syren: “So Alistaire, I’m going to make this clear. Just as you did last week when you said you’re going to be honest about your thoughts about your challengers. You, Alistaire, are holding onto that title until I get it back. And I will! So you can either be the fighting champion you claim to be, or as I said last week, Infamous, myself, CHBK, all of us will find some way to get that championship belt, the one I have held more times than ANYONE who matters in this sport….back around my waist!”

 

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it.

 

Sharper: “Looks like Aaron Blackbourne found his plan to stand out!”

 

Knots: “Coming out to say something to Syren now!”

 

Syren turns to the entrance way before looking up.

 

Syren: “Can you stop with the theatrics? A star is in the ring!”

 

Aaron Blackbourne walks out, holding a microphone. We notice that on his face is series of lines, almost looking like his face is fracturing. He looks down at the ring.

 

Blackbourne: “What’s wrong Syren? Someone not playing to the same script you love to read off of.”

 

Syren: “What the hell are you talking about?”

 

Blackbourne: “It’s getting tiring listening to you say the same thing time and time again. You are the greatest. You demand the World Championship. You should get the rematch. And if not, you’ll have some plan. Where’s the creativity? Where’s something fresh. You were a groundbreaker. You were a gamechanger. And now…you’re familiar, you’re drab, you’re a broken record.”

 

Syren: “Look, Aaron, that’s your name. I get that you’re trying to find your next way to keep your name on the tips of everyone’s tongues. You went after Regan. You went after Bree. Now you’re going after me, but there’s a reason I keep saying the same thing. It’s because all of it is true!”

 

Blackbourne: “Not anymore!”

 

The crowd cheers. Aaron Blackbourne walks down to the ring. He stops at the ring.

 

Blackbourne: “In one night, Alistaire Allocco proved all of that wrong. You had a plan. He outduelled you. The cracks are showing, visually represented on my face. You, Syren, are slipping, as are Infamous.”

 

Blackbourne pulls himself onto the apron.

 

Syren: “Don’t you dare enter my ring!”

 

Blackbourne steps in. Syren looks around.

 

Blackbourne: “Or what? Infamous is going to run out? I’ll get attacked. If you haven’t noticed, if you paid attention to anything beyond your world, I was attacked outside of the ring and the world was talking about my match with Bree Lancaster. Sure, you can point out I didn’t win it. But I’m more than on the tip of everyone’s tongue. I’m on their minds. And I’m keeping things interesting. You…”

 

Syren just glares at Blackbourne.

 

Blackbourne: “I’ll give you a challenge, Syren. You keep talking about your plans, but we all know Ravyn and CHBK are plotting them. No matter what you say…”

 

Knots: “Syren’s about to blow. Blackbourne is hitting her with everything she doesn’t want to hear! It’s great!”

 

Syren can be seen almost shaking.

 

Blackbourne: “Face me at Apocalypse. Beat me with a plan only involving yourself. Come up with some great plan. That’s all you needed. To find the way to con your way to the win, instead of wrestling. But can you even do it yourself. Are you even creative enough to do so?”

 

Syren: “And why the hell would I even humour you?”

 

Blackbourne looks at Syren, showing more confidence than he’s shown in months.

 

Blackbourne: “Easy. You remember when you entered into SCW, when you entered and beat Taylor Summers. You may be a Hall of Famer…but who remembered Taylor Summers after you beat her for the Women’s Title. And if it’s not me, it will be someone who will make YOU no longer the one on the tip of everyone’s tongue.”

 

Syren then swings and goes for a hard right. Blackbourne ducks and stops and turns and Syren goes for another hard right. Blackbourne blocks it and Syren goes for a left. Blackbourne blocks that and Syren then quickly hits a straight kick to the ribs. Blackbourne falls back, wincing and holding them as Syren then smirks and rolls out of the ring.

 

Sharper: “Syren attacked Blackbourne! He saw it coming!”

 

Knots: “Saw it coming until Syren went for the shot to the ribs, still tender from that attack outside of Rise to Greatness!”

 

Sharper: “And Syren leaving, a smirk on her face. She needs to come out on top for her own ego. She didn’t respond. She just tried to prove that she can stand tall!”

 

Knots: “But Aaron Blackbourne’s right. It took someone coming up to knock down someone everyone was talking about. That was the case with Taylor Summers in 2009. Syren knows that this business can be that harsh.”

 

Sharper: “And Syren wants one thing…the World Championship, because with it, comes validation! Aaron Blackbourne going right for her ego in a way we’ve not people so explicitly do in a long time!”

 

Blackbourne gets up and looks at Syren as Syren just walks to the back. She yells out for someone to play her music. A few moments pass as “Groupie” then does play. Syren smirks as she then glances back at Blackbourne, who still clutches his ribs a bit. Syren continues to walk to the back as Breakdown cuts away.

 

Alistaire Allocco walks through the backstage area, now in a t-shirt and work-out pants, wearing the World Championship around his waist. He then walks over to the office of Sasha and knocks on the door.

 

Sasha: “Come in!”

 

Alistaire opens the door and steps in as Alistaire looks around the room and a slight smile comes on his face.

 

Sasha: “Thank you for joining me. I assume your father let you know why I have you here. Meet your opponent for Apocalypse.”

 

Alistaire nods as we see Owen Cruze stepping forward, having already been in the locker room.

 

Owen: “Guess we’re going to actually show what we can do…and for that championship around your waist.”

 

Alistaire: “Looks like it.”

 

Sasha: “Any issues Alistaire?”

 

Alistaire: “None at all. We have unfinished business and he stood tall at Rise to Greatness. Owen, it will be a pleasure.”

 

Alistaire extends his hand. Owen looks at it and shakes it back.

 

Owen: “All mine.”

 

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco will defend the SCW World Championship against Owen Cruze at Apocalypse!”

 

The camera focuses on the handshake as we cut away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Alistaire Allocco walking down the hallway, heading back to his locker room and we then see Peyton Rice walking over to him.

 

Peyton: “Congratulations earlier. First defense in the books!”

 

Alistaire: “I’d say congratulations to you, but I doubt you wanted to win that way.”

 

Peyton: “Sometimes things don’t change.”

 

Adam then walks over.

 

Adam: “Alistaire…so you happy with the challenger?”

 

Alistaire: “I am…”

 

Peyton: “I missed it. I didn’t see. We were waiting for you to get back.”

 

Alistaire: “Owen.”

 

The crowd cheers again as we then see Owen Cruze walking into the scene.

 

Owen: “Heard my name. Nah…just following you down here as my locker room is around the corner. Again…good luck at Apocalypse.”

 

Alistaire: “You too.”

 

Owen turns to Peyton.

 

Owen: “Hey Peyton. Drinks later?”

 

Peyton: “Sure.”

 

Peyton turns to Alistaire.

 

Peyton: “Want to join us?”

 

Owen: “Ah, probably not his scene.”

 

Alistaire: “He’s right…you two have fun.”

 

Peyton: “Alright. Well, I’ll call you after Ali.”

 

Peyton turns and heads off with Owen. Adam then watches them as they head off and Alistaire turns to his door as Adam stops him.

 

Adam: “What are you doing? That kid is muscling in on your girl.”

 

Alistaire: “They’re friends, dad. It’s fine.”

 

Adam: “Yeah, until he slips and falls and ends up part way inside her in, in bed, with her yelling out his name. Trust me, that’s exactly how I ruined at least four marriages. I know!”

 

Alistaire: “I don’t need to hear that.”

 

Alistaire opens the door and walks inside.

 

Adam: “Alistaire! You need to listen to your dear old dad on this one!”

 

Adam follows Alistaire in as we cut away.

 

Ryan Watson vs. Kim Williams

 

The opening chords of Look What You Made Me Do begin to play.  Kimberly Williams, accompanied by Marie Jones, 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.  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.

Phillips: “Our next contest is scheduled for one fall and introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts…accompanied to the ring by Marie Jones, she is the “Wild Card” KIMBERLY WILLIAMS!!!

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams taking on one-half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Ryan Watson. Our announcer got it right. Kimberly is nothing short of being a wildcard.”

Knots: “You’re right on the money for once with that one, Sharpie. But, Ryan Watson showed he’s still a force to be reckoned with, if its winning tag team gold or wearing a dress…He knows how to get it done.”

The arenas lights cut completely, plunging the room into darkness for a second or two before blue lights begin to flash on and off all along the stage, lighting up in time with the start of "Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon, which begins to play through the speaker system. The big screen lights up, with a round logo starting to flash on and off on the screen, with "P1" in big letters in the centre of the circle. As the song kicks in from the intro, the drums act as a signal for two bright white lights on the end of the state to flash up and the curtains part as Ryan Watson steps through the curtains, the SCW World Tag Team title over his shoulder, and the crowd reign boos down on him. He walks to the top of the ramp and throws his hands into the air, his palms crossed to reveal the same 'P1' logo printed on the gloves for a few seconds before he runs down the ramp.

Phillips: "Ladies and gentlemen, making his way to the ring from Sheffield in England, accompanied by Autumn Valentine, as one half of Zero F…s to Give… he weighed in earlier tonight at two hundred and fifteen pounds and is the self-confessed biggest Gobshite in professional wrestling; he is the Prodigal One... RYAN WATSON!!!"

Hitting the ring, Watson jumps up and slides under the bottom rope leg first, sliding across the ring before hopping up and making his way straight to the corner where he jumps up onto the middle turnbuckle, once again crossing his hands in front of him, leaning into the camera to smirk smugly at it before dropping down and throwing the hood of his jacket back and unzipping his jacket. He hands the title to Autumn, before he tosses the jacket to the outside and leans back against the ropes, stretching out a little before waiting for the start of the match.

Sharper: “Ryan Watson looks ready to go.”

The referee calls for the bell. Ryan comes out of the corner, and begins jawing with Kimberly, who steps out of her corner with a wicked smile on her face.

Sharper: “That look is scary to most people.”

Knots: “Yeah, like a lot of our roster, you never know what frame of mind they’re in.”

Ryan goes for a tie-up, but Kimberly charges toward him.

Kimberly: “STAPLE! STAPLE! STAPLE!”

Ryan back pedals and tells the referee to check Kimberly. Kimberly smirks and puts her hands up, showing she doesn’t have a staple gun. As the referee checks on her, Ryan runs up and rolls Kimberly up in a schoolboy, planting his feet on the ropes.

The referee stops the count, seeing Ryan’s feet on the ropes. Ryan jaws with the ref, as the crowd can be heard booing.

Sharper: “Kimberly throwing Ryan off his game temporarily it seems.”

Knots: “He got a two count out of nowhere, though!”

Sharper: “With his feet on the ropes, but he wasn’t able to steal it.”

Ryan quickly gets to his feet and grabs Kimberly, before whipping her across the ring. Kimberly slides underneath the ropes going to the outside. Kimberly turns and smirks at Ryan, before going on a search underneath the ring. She then pulls out a steel chair. She smirks at Ryan who goes to charge, only for Kimberly to throw the chair into the ring. Ryan stops and shakes his head.

Sharper: “What is going on here for crying out loud?”

Knots: “Kimberly has said she will throw things at old people.”

Sharper: “She nearly got herself disqualified. But then, I’m not sure she cares.”

The ref begins to yell at Kimberly to get back into the ring, as she goes back underneath the ring. Ryan urges the ref to count her out. The ref begins the count.

Ref: “1…2…3…4…”

Kimberly is shown slowly sneaking out from under the ring, as Ryan and the ref face the other way. Kimberly gets into the ring just as the ref turns around. She rolls Ryan up in a schoolboy of her own.

Ryan kicks out. Kimberly gets to her feet and stomps Ryan in the back of the head over and over, before running into and bouncing off the ropes, connecting with a baseball slide. She grabs him by the hair, as the ref tells her to let go. She laughs at the ref before going to whip Ryan into the corner, only for Ryan to reverse, sending Kimberly into the turnbuckle. Ryan then turns and yells at the ref about Kimberly grabbing his hair.

Knots: “Ryan arguing with the ref and…Oh, Autumn out of nowhere!”

Autumn is shown charging across the ring apron and connecting with a clothesline. Autumn jumps off the apron as Marie is shown running over. Ryan moves past the ref, going for a cover.

Kimberly kicks out. Ryan grabs her and goes to whip her into the ropes, but Kimberly hits a spinning back elbow. Marie and Autumn are shown arguing outside the ring as the ref is then shown trying to separate them. Ryan, holding his face, turns toward Kimberly who then steps back and hits a dropkick. Marie then nails Autumn as Autumn fires back. They trade blows as Kim turns and shrugs before rolling to the floor. Marie then manages to catch Autumn with a shot. Autumn turns and Kim suddenly lunges and hits the Morrigan’s Wrath! The crowd roars as Kim rolls through and looks around. The crowd cheers. Marie and Kim high five.

Sharper: “Kimberly and Marie showing Autumn what sort of damage they can do when it comes to playing the numbers game. When they meet at Apocalypse, it’s all legal!”

 

Knots: “Autumn showed she didn’t care about the rules. Twin Magic decided to make her care!”

Kim then turns and rolls back into the ring as the official reprimands her. Kim mocks him before grabbing Ryan and hits a few elbows and goes to whip Ryan into the ropes, but Ryan stops then connects with In Your Face, stunning Kimberly, who leans into the ropes. Ryan gets to his feet as Kimberly walks from the ropes and Ryan grabs her, trash talking in the process, before hooking her and dropping her with Insubordination Rules. The crowd “Ohs” once again before Ryan hooks the leg.

The bell rings and the crowd begins to boo, as “Throne” begins to play once again. The ref hands Ryan his Tag Team title, and he jerks it away before rolling out of the ring to check on Autumn, who is shown slowly stirring.

Sharper: “Ryan pulling off the win in what turned out to be one hell of a strange contest.”

Knots: “He overcame a lot. Threatened with staples. Having a chair thrown at him. And not to mention.”

 

Sharper: “And he may have to deal with all of that again with the Tag Titles on the line!”

 

Knots: “All the twins are coming after Zero Effs!”

Ryan is shown helping Autumn to her feet as Marie is shown attending to Kimberly, before we cut away.

 

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays throughout the arena. The crowd roars as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still of Bree Lancaster vs. Asher Hayes follows.

 

Sharper: “Main event about to take place next. Bree Lancaster will face Asher Hayes, non-title!”

 

The scene fades to black.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Chris Cannon pacing in his locker room. Laura Steinbeck stands to his side as Sienna just sits on the couch in the room annoyed.

 

Cannon: “How in the hell did this happen? That jackass gets the title shot?! He’s the one getting it while I have to deal with a damn crazy and Sienna has to risk her career.”

 

Steinbeck: “I’m already working on it. Trying to get this change. Trying to appeal to the Board. With what we do for this company…”

 

Cannon: “We’ve been relying on that. They’re giving Sasha full reign and she does this!”

 

Sienna just starts to laugh a bit.

 

Cannon turns.

 

Steinbeck: “Oh no, she’s losing it now.”

 

Sienna: “No…just that we have to jump through more hoops. It’s so self-evident that all of the talent is in this room, with Bree on her way to the ring. At least it’s not Syren getting it. But we have one thing that Sasha’s not going to like…she admitted I deserve a rematch. And if Alistaire is as honourable as he claims…he’s going to honour it too.”

 

Steinbeck: “I’ll get them reviewing the shows.”

 

Sienna turns to Chris. Chris sits down next to her as Laura walks off. Chris and Sienna kiss.

 

Chris: “We’re going to get what we want.”

 

Sienna: “Just maybe this once…we’ll do it FOR US.”

 

The crowd boos as we cut away.

 

Bree Lancaster vs. Asher Hayes

 

The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.

{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache, cast away
Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}

As the heavy music of Imagine Dragons kicks in the lights come back up and Bree Lancaster is standing on the stage, dressed in her black silk robe and her arms spread wide. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for TV time remaining, and is your main event of the evening. First, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside, she is the SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!"

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. Bree walks to the center of the ring, turning as she does. When she stops Scott then pulls on the silver belt holding her robe closed. The robe opens, revealing her glittery top and the US Championship belt around her waist. Bree pulls the robe off and tosses it aside, where it lands over the top rope. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. Scott is on the outside and pulls her robe off the ropes as her music fades out.

 

Sharper: “US title not on the line in this match, but instead, it’s more of a what-if. Asher Hayes could have chosen to face Bree for title at Apocalypse or Regan Street for the Adrenaline Championship, a function of winning that contendership battle royal to open Rise to Greatness. He chose Regan.”

 

Knots: “And depending on how tonight goes, Asher may regret that decision.”

 

The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Rope" by the Foo Fighters echo throughout the arena. At the 13 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the stage.

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Asher Hayes!”

 

He makes his way down the ramp as the cheers of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, saluting the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side.

 

Sharper: “Asher Hayes first singles match since returning. A big opportunity here, but also a big risk.”

 

Knots: “He’s got a lot to lose. Bree Lancaster meanwhile has been making it clear all night she wants nothing to do with Rachel Tatum Lee. Bree just has to keep running, huh!”

 

The bell sounds. Asher and Bree look at one another. Bree looks at him annoyed as she walks along the ropes. She then turns as Asher watches her. Bree then smirks and leans back in the corner, telling Asher to come in. Asher looks around. The crowd roars as Asher steps forward and walks toward Bree. Bree then goes for a quick kick, but Asher blocks it. He then pushes it down and grabs Bree and hip throws her out of the corner. Bree rolls over and gets up and Asher runs to her and pushes her into the ropes and fires her off. Bree bounces off and Asher launches Bree into the air with a back drop. The crowd roars as Bree hits the mat, holds her lower back. She starts to get up and Asher wrenches the arm.

 

Sharper: “Bree quickly in trouble. Asher still knows some of the tricks.”

 

Knots: “He’s not forgotten that much!”

 

Bree winces and grabs at the arm. She rolls forward and then rolls back and Asher suddenly kicks her in the shin and then hooks her up and hits a snap suplex. He goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Bree making sure Asher Hayes is going to be suffering some bruises in this one.”

 

Knots: “Stomping away on him. Elbowing him. I’m waiting for the sock with quarters inside. Scott. I’m looking at you! You probably designed the sock!”

 

Bree turns around as Asher starts to get up and Bree kicks him in the ribs. Asher falls to the corner. Bree follows up with a kick to the ribs and then another and another. Asher drops to a seated position and Bree stomps him again before starting to choke him with her boot.

Sharper: “Priceless, right to the back!”

 

Knots: “And Asher went down hard!”

 

Sharper: “He’s had a history of back issues. Bree hitting him right there and Asher may be hurt.”

 

Knots: “If he’s hurt, he’s not stopping. He’s trying to get up.”

The crowd roars and boos. Bree rolls away and smiles. Asher turns and looks at her.

 

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

 

Bree then gets up and has her arm raised. She then starts to berate Asher to his face. Asher just looks at her, remaining seated in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster wins it, getting the small package.”

 

Knots: “And letting Asher Hayes know it. Dear God! She’s so damn full of herself!”

 

Sharper: “Claiming no one has earned a shot at her earlier. Now just yelling at Asher Hayes!”

 

Asher looks down, shaking his head, clearly trying to prevent himself from doing something as we then see Regan Street walking out from the back. The crowd cheers as Bree stops and turns. Regan Street reaches the ring. She pulls herself up on the apron. Bree just smirks and backs up and steps through the next set of ropes. She drops down to the floor, joined by Scott Burnside. She then starts to taunt the fans at ringside as Regan watches her for a bit longer before entering the ring. She then turns to Asher and looks at him. Asher looks at her and Regan extends her arm to help him up. Asher accepts the offer and Regan pulls him up before Regan immediately cracks him with a hard right. Asher falls back down.

 

Regan: “You want any shot at this…Come to kick my ass because if not…I will destroy this little run back. Welcome to 2019, Asher!”

 

The crowd cheers as Asher then smirks looking at Regan as Regan then backs up and glances at Bree as she holds her US Championship, walking to the back. Asher then starts to get up, touching his lip, which can be seen to now be bleeding. Regan turns back. Asher just nods. The two lock eyes.

 

Sharper: “Regan Street seems to not be impressed.”

 

Knots: “He came out with attitude last week. Tonight, he fought Bree, but guess Regan wants him dialed in. She just came off fighting Datura. Fighting for that. She wants that adrenaline rush and not just talking about the title!”

 

Sharper: “Asher better be ready. He chose this!”

 

Asher and Regan continue to look at one another as the scene fades to black…
