“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

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

I'm thinking about the old me

'Cause I've been feeling empty

I never used to be so dead inside

Shots of Selena Frost celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Minerva with Konrad Raab standing tall in the ring. Following this is Cid Turner punching CHBK in the concourse. Ace Marshall hitting the Air Marshall on an opponent follows.

I think I lost my memory

I can't remember carefree

And all my days turn into fight or flight

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

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

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

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

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

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

Trying to get back to who I used to be

Where is the old me?

Chris Cannon spearing Konrad Raab follows before we see a shot of Gavin Taylor on his way to the ring, and then a shot of Kimberly Williams licking a staple gun. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “Supreme Championship Wrestling heads into the Midwest, only two and a half weeks from Apocalypse!”

The cameras pan the crowd a bit longer.

Shilo Valiant vs. Autumn Valentine

SCW Television Championship

“MAKE ME LAUGH!”

The voice echoes as the main riffs of "The Man Who Laughs" by Rob Zombie is heard, a spotlight shining down on the ramp

From the back walks Shilo Valiant, walking straight into the single spot of light. He slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, looking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. He slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his attire and mask glowing among the red of the rain and white of the spotlights.

Phillips: “The opening contest tonight on Breakdown is scheduled for onefall, has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship! First, on his way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is Shilo Valiant!”

The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it.

With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal. Shilo removes his mask and coat, placing them in the corner. The cameras cut to the ringside announce position to see Adam Sharper, Jonathan Knots and Simon Lyman seated behind the desk.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and Simon Lyman and we’re kicking things off with the SCW Television Championship on the line!”

Knots: “Fallout from last week. Autumn Valentine helping out Ace Marshall after he tried to attack Shilo. Unintended consequences here. TV Title on the line.”

Lyman: “We’ll see that. I’ll be curious if Ace comes out here for this one. Ace will be in action later against Ricky James.”

Sharper: “That indeed is the case. But along with that, some huge matches. Holly Adams will defend her Adrenaline Championship against Crystal Zdunich. Asher Hayes will face Xander Valentine. And we have a huge eight person tag team war too.”

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

A
V
W

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

Phillips: “His opponent, accompanied by Lexy Chapel, hailing from Los Angeles, California, she wants you to know she still giving Zero Effs, the SCW Television Champion, she is AVW, Autumn Valentine!”

Autumn walks to the ring accompanied by Lexy. She skips up to the apron and jumps up before sliding off her jacket and letting it fall to the floor. She then runs at the turnbuckles, climbing up and once again throwing up the “A-V-W” symbols with her hands while looking into the camera confidently. She jumps from the outside of the ropes to inside of the ring, rolling back to her feet before walking to the ropes and dropping down into the splits and leaning through the ropes to hand her title to Lexy, who seems to hold it proudly. She pushes herself back under the ropes and gets back to her feet. She hands her title to the official, Steve Hollinsworth. Hollinsworth holds the title over his head as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen and fades in the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Lexy Chapel, of course, in the corner. But I have to point something out. Last week, we found out that Ryan Watson, Autumn Valentine’s ex, is Lexy Chapel’s new beau. We all realize what AVW stands for?”

Lyman: “There’s that. And there’s the fact that Autumn stepped in to clear things up with Ace. She’s apparently dating Ace and Ace apparently had sex with Cassidy Carter, his ex, two weeks ago.”

Knots: “Except Autumn swears Cassidy wasn’t here. What the hell is going on in Lexy’s Angels…or LexyCorp….Or Lex Sells?”

Sharper: “Either way, all of that in mind, Autumn better focus on Shilo and vice-versa. TV Title on the line.”

Hollinsworth hands off the title. He steps back and calls for the bell. The bell sounds as Autumn steps up and Shilo looks at her and shakes her head. He glances around as Autumn points to her as Shilo shrugs and then lunges at her. Autumn backs up to the corner. Lexy yells into the ring as Shilo gets Autumn all the way back to the corner. Autumn leans back.

Shilo steps back up and then goes for a back chop, but Autumn ducks under and around. Shilo turns and Autumn cracks him with a forearm shot and then another before hitting a third. Shilo stumbles out and turns and Autumn kicks him in the ribs. Shilo falls to the ropes. Autumn forearms him in again and then runs across the ring. She bounces off and Shilo steps up and goes for a back elbow. Autumn ducks and bounces off the other side before jumping up and hitting a spinning heel kick. She goes for the pin.

Shilo kicks out. He turns and gets up as Autumn gets up too. She grabs him and goes to whip him into the corner, but Shilo spins through and sends her in. Autumn hits the corner and Shilo steps up and chops her hard on the chest. The crowd woos.

Sharper: “Hard chop as Shilo turns this around here as Autumn maybe wanted to end this quick.”

Knots: “Maybe looking for a defining win here.”

Shilo then hits a back chop and then a kick to the ribs. Shilo then grabs Autumn and hits a beal out from it. Autumn rolls over and moves to the corner. Shilo turns and runs after her and Autumn moves out of the way. Shilo hits the corner and staggers out. Autumn then jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a leg lariat, taking down her challenger. She turns and hooks the leg.

Shilo kicks out. He rolls over and Autumn gets up. She stomps him in the back of the head and then again before grabbing Shilo and pulling him up. She does just enough before pulling him down with a neckbreaker. Lexy jumps up in joy.

Sharper: “Autumn hits the neckbreaker and Lexy Chapel as confident as ever here.”

Knots: “She may just be happy. She’s a happy person…minus this conspiracy theory drivel.”

Lyman: “Well maybe she was spending too much time near Giovanni Aries’ locker room at Rise to Greatness.”

Lexy watches and points up to the sky as Autumn exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope. She looks at Shilo and dives off with a guillotine leg drop, but Shilo moves out of the way. Autumn hits hard and rolls over, holding her lower back. She starts to get up, wincing in pain and Shilo gets up and chops her down. Autumn hits the mat. She gets up and Shilo hits another chop. The crowd woos. Autumn gets up and Shilo kicks her in the ribs and then grabs her hand. Shilo then runs up the corner and then turns and jumps back, twisting in the air, and taking Autumn down with an arm drag. Autumn slowly gets up and in the corner. Lexy yells at the referee to get some distance before yelling “Conspiracy!” over and over as Shilo runs after Autumn and hits a running backsplash into Autumn. The crowd ohs. Autumn stumbles out and falls to the mat. Shilo runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a senton backsplash. He turns and hooks the leg.

Autumn kicks out. The crowd ohs and a faint “Shilo!” chant begins. Shilo gets up and looks at the crowd with a smirk. Autumn rolls over, wincing in pain and Shilo grabs her and hits a back suplex. Shilo turns and goes to the corner, climbing up to the top rope. Autumn rolls over and turns and looks up as Shilo dives back with a moonsault, taking Autumn over.

Sharper: “Big moonsault! Shilo off the top!”

Knots: “A bit more high risk than we’re used to!”

Shilo hooks the leg.

Autumn kicks out. Both get up, Shilo first. Shilo kicks Autumn in the ribs and then pulls her in. He goes for a vertical suplex, but Autumn knees him in the face. Shilo staggers back and lets go. Autumn then jumps up and hits a gamengiri. Shilo falls to the ropes. Autumn gets up and runs across the ring, bouncing off and then jumping up, but Shilo just sticks his boot up. Autumn goes ribs first into it. She crashes to the mat. Shilo goes for the pin.

Autumn gets her shoulder up. Shilo then gets up and grabs her and pulls her up. She places her head between his legs and hoists her up for a powerbomb, but Autumn rolls through and into a sunset bomb!

Shilo kicks out, just in time. Lexy starts to yell “Two is the new three!”

Sharper: “Lexy now wanting two counts to count for three.”

Lyman: “This match would’ve been over a lot more. But it’s always been three. But that was really close for Shilo!”

Shilo turns and starts to get up and Autumn jumps up and hits a spinning back kick to the jaw, knocking Shilo to his knees. Autumn gives the W sign before hitting a front thrust kick to the face. The crowd ohs. Autumn dives on him for the pin.

Shilo just gets his shoulder up. The crowd ohs. Lexy paces back and forth. Autumn looks up and turns and rolls to the apron. She gets to her feet and Shilo rolls over. He starts to get up and stagger up before turning around and Autumn springboards to the top rope and dives forward, grabbing his head for a tornado DDT, but Shilo spins through and drops her with a sitout spinebuster!

Autumn just gets his shoulder up. Shilo rolls over. Autumn stirs and gets up and Shilo runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting Autumn with a huge clothesline, turning her inside out. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Shilo drops Autumn after a vicious clothesline.”

Lyman: “This has had some wild back and forth action. Shilo just dropping the flash there.”

Knots: “And Autumn could be completely out of it!”

Shilo then walks around before we see Ace Marshall running from the back, wincing a bit. Lexy notices him and her eyes widen.

Sharper: “Wait a minute! Look out! Shilo! It’s Ace Marshall!”

Knots: “It’s a miracle! It’s not broken!”

Lyman: “So is her hurt?!”

Ace slides in and Shilo turns around as Ace gets up and Shilo turns to grab him, but Ace goes for his left knee, kicking it. Shilo falls to the mat as the crowd boos. The bell sounds. Ace dives onto Shilo and hammers away on him with a series of hard right hands.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall attacking Shilo Valiant-“

Knots: “Saving his girlfriend’s title reign, apparently!”

Sharper: “Ace going for the knee!”

Lyman: “The same knee Shilo’s had issues with. The same one he hurt at Rise to Greatness!”

Ace gets up and stomps away on Shilo as the crowd boos some more. Autumn rolls over, wincing in pain. She looks at him, almost annoyed before then leaning back. Lexy snaps out of her confused before getting up and yelling “It’s a miracle! It’s a miracle! He loves her that much!” Ace then walks around and smiles as he then turns and looks at Shilo as he smirks some more. He then throws his arm up before looking around and then going over to Autumn. He helps her up as Lexy climbs up onto the apron. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine still the Television Champion thanks to Ace Marshall. Shilo Valiant may have won here tonight, but damn it…”

Lyman: “And Ace looks to be in good shape to say the least!”

Sharper: “While Shilo Valiant, for the second week in a row, has to deal with an Ace Marshall who seems more desperate than ever.”

Ace holds Autumn’s arm up as Lexy grabs the Television Championship. The crowd continues to boo as we cut away.

Backstage, we see Syren walking backstage wearing a nice shirt and pants. The crowd cheers. She shakes her head a bit and then stops, almost as if she’s trying to psyche herself into whatever she has in mind. She then nods and walks forward before going over to the locker room of A/C Unit. Syren then stops and knocks on the door.

Knots: “What is she doing?”

Sharper: “I don’t know. Is she staging an ambush…”

Syren waits a moment as we hear a bit of a crash inside.

???: “One minute!”

Syren rolls her eyes. After a few moments, the door opens and Cid Turner pokes his head out. At first he looks confident, but suddenly letting the façade fade and looking surprised.

Cid: “S-Syren?”

Syren: “Yeah, Cid…uh…look, this is going to be a bit forward for me. But I’ve been thinking and maybe you’re right.”

Cid: “I am?! I mean, I am!”

Syren: “There was something special at Rise to Greatness. And even I can’t deny it. And well, sometimes the only way to see if anything is there is to just rip the bandaid off. I’ve talked to Ravyn and I’ve talked to Alexander. They don’t understand it…but…you’re not scheduled to compete tonight. I’m not. There’s a nice restaurant nearby.”

Knots: “What?!”

Cid: “You’re asking me out?”

Syren: “Yes.”

Cid: “But I…”

Cid catches himself.

Syren: “How about I come back in about fifteen minutes? You can get ready for a night on the town. And we’ll see if anything is there.”

Cid: “Uh yeah….definitely.”

Cid quickly pokes his head back and closes the door quickly. Syren steps back a bit surprised. Cid then opens the door and sticks his head out again.

Cid: “Uh…sorry. Just excited!”

Cid leans back in again. Syren then smirks before she turns and heads off, pulling out her phone and starting to text someone.

Sharper: “Cid Turner going on a date with Syren. It’s happening!”

Lyman: “What’s that smirk mean?!”

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as Jessica Winters stands with Minerva backstage. Minerva has Konrad Raab with her. The crowd boos.

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and I am standing with Minerva and Konrad Raab-“

Minerva: “Ignore him.”

Winters: “Alright. Well, last week, your father issued a challenge. One with high stakes and a personal consequence for you. A lot of people are believing this match has happened. I know that SCW officials have already said for tonight, that despite you and Chris in the same match tonight, you cannot touch. But for posterity…have your accepted?”

Minerva turns to Jessica. She looks annoyed.

Minerva: “My father came here and after everything else he’s done, he’s brought in Chris Cannon as his warrior…and put EVERYTHING on the line. All because I have just decided to take what I feel I should take and push everyone to limits they wish they never knew.”

Minerva turns to the camera and smiles.

Minerva: “The Jackals are so much more, but my father wants to snuff it out. IT WILL NOT DIE….nor will I let Chris Cannon take my home, our settlement where I grew up…my birthright. If Chris though it was personal before, this is a whole new level and come Apocalypse, there will be the end, but it will not be my role in my community. It will be Chris Cannon!”

Minerva then turns to Jessica.

Minerva: “I may not be able to touch him tonight, but the Jackals…we will come for blood.”

Raab cackles as Minerva pulls on his leash.

Minerva: “Not now.”

Minerva then turns and leads Raab off as Jessica Winters shakes her head as they walk off.

Winters: “Now let’s go to Jaina Lancaster who is with Spencer Pryce as he prepares for his debut here tonight!”

The scene changes to another part of the backstage area where Jaina Lancaster stands with Spencer Pryce. Amy Chastaine stands next to Pryce.

Lancaster: “Thank you Jessica. I am here with Spencer Pryce and tonight, you will make your debut, but it may be a tough one. You are scheduled to face off against Tsunami here tonight. A big challenge, but I know you have one of the best trainers in the business.”

Pryce smiles.

Pryce: “Well you’re supposed to say that as her daughter, but I’ll agree with that and I have to count on that training tonight. I don’t have the experience to lean on, but I also hope that my talent is something. We’ll just have to hope that-LOOK OUT!”

Pryce turns and steps up as Tsunami runs in and nails Pryce with a body avalanche. Jaina steps back and Amy, instinctively, goes to protect her daughter. Pryce hits the ground and Tsunami grabs him as Martin Howe III cackles in the background.

Sharper: “My God! Tsunami!”

Lyman: “With that slug Martin Howe III. This smells like his plan!”

Tsunami spins Pryce around and just throws him up into the air and ribs first into a door frame. The crowd ohs as Pryce falls to the floor. Amy then steps up as Tsunami turns to her. Howe steps up.

Howe: “That’s enough…that’s enough.”

Howe steps up as Amy has her arms up. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Amy…come on…you’ve stepped out of the ring for a reason.”

Howe turns to Chastaine.

Howe: “Just figured we’d make his debut memorable. Maybe he can rethink his answers.”

Howe motions to Tsunami. Amy watches him as she turns to Jaina.

Chastaine: “You okay?”

Jaina nods. We then see Dean Black jogging into the scene with a couple of officials. Chastaine turns to Spencer Pryce.

Chastaine: “Spencer. Stay down. Let them check on you.”

Pryce: “Damn it…”

Pryce writhes in pain as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown cuts to another part of the backstage area as Syren walks back over to the A/C Unit locker room where we see Cid Turner, dressed in a suit, stepping out of the locker room, turning back.

Cid: “I’ll be back, Ash! Got some important stuff to take care of!”

Asher: “Yeah, yeah…just make sure you’re there later.”

Cid: “Uh…yeah, I’ll try!”

Cid closes the door as Syren hears this and smiles. Cid turns and then smiles back.

Cid: “Uh…so…uh…date?”

Syren: “Looks great.”

Cid: “I do, don’t I. I’m just trying to embrace who I am and what’s inside me.”

Syren: “Uh, great…”

Cid: “So, you said there’s a good restaurant nearby?”

Syren: “Have something in mind. Not too far. Let’s go.”

Syren walks forward as Cid walks over to her and then has a moment of confidence before reaching over and grabbing Syren’s hand. Syren looks down for a moment before going with it. Cid smiles as they walk off.

Knots: “They’re actually doing this!”

Sharper: “Looks like it!”

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns as we see Holly Adams talking to Dean Black outside of the trainer’s room, her camera crew standing with her. Dean just has his head in his hand.

Holly: “So, look. I figure rather than leading to another fight and you have run out, just seconds late, really…you should know this place better than anyone. Don’t you know where people are doing things. Whatever. That aside, as you know, I have my budding life coaching business and I’m expanding. See, every business needs some charity. You know. Good on the bottom line and-“

Black: “Get to the point, Holly. I’m waiting for an update about a potential injury regarding a match tonight.”

Holly: “Well I have a match tonight too. And I’ll walk out Adrenaline Champion, don’t worry there. Can’t have forehead having her comeback, but I was thinking…Apocalypse…”

Black sighs.

Holly: “You know…Konrad Raab is really angry, but he does know one thing. How amazing I am. And while he’s trying to pretend to be all into Minerva, it’s clear I’m his favourite and well, everyone needs ONE title shot at a pay per view. And since it’s a foregone conclusion that-“

Black: “Holly. I’ve said this time and time again. I cannot make matches!”

Holly: “Well then just call up the Board or something. It’s me. And it’s charity. They can get the kudos. May help the guy chill out. Plus, let’s face it, he probably would’ve won at Rise to Greatness…just…”

Black: “Since when do you demand title defenses?”

Holly: “Uh…are you even listening? That’s rude. Charity-“

Black: “You’re thinking about Datura.”

The crowd roars. Holly looks around. She then turns to him.

Holly: “No! She’s not my concern. Whatever. Just tell them.”

Holly motions to her camera crew as Dean shakes his head as she walks off.

Gianni “G” Money vs. Purity Pixie

Fairy dust can be seen on the SCW big screen. It keeps fluttering until the sound of ocean waves crashing can be heard, which leads into the opening of “How Far I'll Go” by Auli'i Cravalho. The music plays for a few moments and as soon as Auli'i's voice is heard a beautiful lady dressed in all silver, including a shimmering silver mask and fairy wings, steps out from the backstage area. She waves the wand that she holds in her hand and is very politely smiling out at the crowd. She walks a little and stops at the end of the stage, pulling out a small container. She opens it up and pours what looks like pixie dust into her left hand.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from the Land of the Pixies, she is Purity Pixie!”

She blows some of it towards the left side crowd and then repeats the action on the right side, before blowing a kiss towards each side as well. As her music plays she makes her way down the aisle and down to the ring.

Sharper: “Purity Pixie has a lot on her mind. Focused on trying to help Katie Steward. That ship may have passed, but another person could be Tsunami.”

Knots: “She’s still in one piece after Tsunami crushed her at Rise to Greatness. And she’s kept her eye on him.”

The lights around the arena begin to fade out as the synthesizer tones of “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd begins to play out. As the drumbeat kicks in, Gianni Money and Candi Honey come out from the back. While C-Honey doesn’t bother with the crowd, G-Money bursts out and begins playing to the crowd, a handheld camera in hand.

Phillips: “And her opponent, accompanied by C-Honey, from Austin, Texas, he is G-Money!”

He keeps the camera trained on himself, narrating his entrance for a future vlog, as he moves down, slapping the hands of fans without their consent. He gets to the ring and slides under the bottom rope as C-Honey climbs up the steps. G-Money opens the ropes for her before handing the camera off to the referee, instructing him to hold it so he can get a few more words in for his vlog. Finally, he takes it and hands it off to C-Honey before going around the ring to mug for the crowd…

Lyman: “This is a bit different!”

Sharper: “Gotta get the comments in. Make sure that his viewers love this.”

Knots: “Hey, Youtube is big money!”

The bell sounds. Purity steps up as Money holds his hand out and then turns and walks back over as C-Honey walks over and turns, bringing the camera to point over her shoulder. G-Money talks to it for a few moments before backing up and turning right into Purity Pixie who dropkicks him in the jaw. The crowd roars. G-Money pops up and turns and Purity steps over and chops him in the chest. She chops him again and G-Money falls to the corner. Purity then grabs him and goes tow hip him across the ring. G-Money, however, spins through and sends Purity into the opposite corner. G-Money goes to run after, but Purity jumps up and floats over. G-Money stops at the crowd. He turns and Purity jumps up and hits a dropkick. The crowd roars as G-Money rolls over, holding his jaw in pain.

Sharper: “Another dropkick and right to the jaw.”

Lyman: “Maybe trying to shut him up.”

G-Money grabs at the ropes. He gets up and turns around and Purity forearms him in the jaw and then snapmares him down. She hits a third dropkick, this time to the back of his head. G-Money hits the mat. Purity goes for the pin.

G-Money kicks out. He rolls over as C-Honey mugs for her camera. G-Money starts to get up and staggers around before Purity hits a spinning heel kick, knocking him down. The crowd ohs and Purity gets up. She exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope. G-Money remains down as Purity dives off with a top rope splash, but G-Money rolls out of the way. He smiles, pointing to his head.

Sharper: “No one home. G-Money moved and Purity Pixie missed the splash.”

Lyman: “A true strategist of our time. He’s acting like he was brilliant for moving.”

Purity starts to get up and G-Money grabs her and pulls her up before scoop slamming her down. Purity stirs and starts to get up and G-Money hooks her up and hits a Russian leg sweep. He then goes for the pin.

Purity kicks out. G-Money gets up and shakes his head. He runs into the ropes, bouncing off and going for a running elbow drop, but Purity moves out of the way. G-Money winces and gets up and turns and Purity jumps up and hits a frankensteiner. G-Money rolls over. He stirs and staggers up and Purity runs into the ropes and bounces off before hitting the Please Be Good. G-Money hits the mat. Purity goes for the pin.

G-Money kicks out. Purity gets up and grabs him. She pulls him up, but G-Money nails her in the ribs.

Sharper: “G-Money fighting back. Purity Pixie has shown her experience here.”

Knots: “Getting him down and keeping him there, except for a few hiccups.”

G-Money then hooks her up and hits a fisherman’s suplex into a bridge.

Purity kicks out. She rolls over. G-Money grabs her and pulls her up and Purity suddenly hits a jawbreaker. Purity turns and springboards to the top rope. She turns and G-Money runs over and nails her in the ribs. He then pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle and then to the top before diving off with the Tweetie Bird. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Off the top! G-Money driving Purity Pixie into the mat!”

Knots: “That has to be it! That has to be it!”

Lyman: “Did C-Honey get that on camera? Or was she too busy commentating?”

G-Money rolls her over and hooks the leg.

Purity shoots her shoulder up. The crowd roars. G-Money looks at her and then to C-Honey before then back to Purity before running over to C-Honey and moving to the camera.

G-Money: “How in the hell did she kick out?!”

C-Honey: “Gotta hit her harder!”

G-Money turns and smirks before holding a finger up. He grab Purity and pulls her up. He then whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and G-Money goes for E.H.T.O.V.O.T.M., but Purity slides under. G-Money steps forward and Purity jumps up and hits a rolling clutch pin. She bridges back.

The crowd roars. Purity lets go and rolls out of the ring. G-Money turns, his eyes widen, as he looks around. C-Honey walks around, also showing her shock.

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

Sharper: “Well G-Money just may have found out that you gotta do more than look good doing it!”

Lyman: “Arrogance got the better of him! He thought he had her. But Purity Pixie had something left and made sure to make it go far!”

Purity steps back, wincing a bit as G-Money continues to be stunned in the ring as we cut away.

We open up backstage to a limousine pulling up to the building. The crowd roars. The limousine comes to a stop but instead of the chauffeur opening the passenger door, Brittany Lohan walks over to the door. She opens it and Kennedy Street looks up.

Kennedy: “Oh you’re good.”

Lohan: “Just looking to make sure you get what you paid for.”

Kennedy: “Just make sure you’re focusing on protecting me. You know people are going to start coming after me. Especially as I’m now on a winning streak. So that Ducky…thing…Jordan thing….”

Lohan: “Don’t worry. It won’t take anything away from my duties to you.”

Kennedy: “Good!”

Knots: “What she paid for…”

Sharper: “Kennedy riding in style. And Breakdown continues after this!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

The camera opens up inside the Jewell. Syren steps forward as Cid looks around and nods before they are led into the restaurant by the hostess. The camera follows them in as they are led over to a VIP table. Syren steps over before Cid runs over and ushers her in, trying to be a gentlemen. Syren nods and slides in as Cid turns and walks over to his side and slides in. The hostess places two menus on the table as we cut away.

Knots: “I’m still in shock.”

Sharper: “Syren and Cid Turner, seated together. Looks like a good seat in nearby restaurant, the Jewell. Here they have some great live entertainment!”

Lich House vs. Golden Boys

Phillips: “The following match is a tag team contest, for one fall… introducing first!”

Calming music rises in the arena before being cut off by a harsh drone and pulsing, distorted drum. With the shift in music, the arena goes dark. A lone spotlight cuts through the blackness to reveal Lilith Morgan, in veil and funeral coat, standing at the entrance. Behind her and to the side stands KEZ, face painted for battle, wearing a tattered denim jacket over her ring gear. Lilith produces and lights a large white candle, holding its flame near her chest as the two make their way down the ramp to the ring.

Phillips: “Weighing in at a combine weight of 300 pounds, from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina… ladies and gentlemen, they are Litlh Morgan and KEZ… LICH HOUSE!”

Lilith calmly strides down, making sure to keep the candle lit, as KEZ walks behind her and to the side, looking ready for violence. As the two approach the ring, KEZ rolls in under the bottom rope and gets to her feet in the middle of the ring as Lilith climbs the steps, extinguishing the candle with her thumb and forefinger before entering the ring herself. Lilith discards her coat, veil, and candle in the corner along with KEZ's jacket as they are ready for the match.

Lyman: “Huge opportunity here tonight for the newcomers to the Tag Team division, they get to make statement here against the former SCW World Tag Team Champions, Golden Boys!”

Sharper: “They’re the team to watch, that’s for sure.”

Knots: “But are they ready for the Golden Boys? That is what I’m wondering. Sure, Adam is probably gonna take them lightly because he’s a jackass but Bison Jones is always a dominant force.”

Sharper: “Speaking of the devil---”

I am flesh and I am bone
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I’ve got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter

Strobe lights flash around the entrance set to match the beat of “Glitter & Gold”. Out comes Bison Jones steps out from behind the curtains. Bison Jones jogs in place as Adam Allocco steps out behind him, patting Big Bad on his back. He poses at the top of the ramp, flexing his pectorals and then rolling his defined shoulders. Adam steps in front of him and poses, imitating Bison as best as he could. All while this dick measuring contest is going on, Anastasia Smirnov comes strutting out, and with waving arms, present the Golden Boys to the crowd. Adam soaks in the boos while Bison noticeably mouths something to his boss.

Phillips: “And their opponents, weighing at a combined weight of 500 pounds, Adam Allocco and Big Bad Bison Jones… they are the Golden Boys!”

Do you walk in the valley of kings?
Do you walk in the shadow of men
Who sold their lives to a dream?
Do you ponder the manner of things
In the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark

Bison hops up the ring steps while Adam Allocco slides in underneath the bottom rope. Bison goes to one corner, Adam goes to the other corner, both raise their arm high into the air. Bison and Adam retreat their corner and begin to discuss strategy for the upcoming match. Adam notices Anastasia not doing anything, mouths something to her that makes her starts clapping with a forced smile. The Lich House looks on, not impressed with the veterans, especially not Adam.

Sharper: “What a rollercoaster ride it has been watching the Golden Boys for the past year and change. There have times they’ve looked unstoppable and stints where they can’t seem to get anything right.”

Knots: “I blame Adam for that inconsistency. His arrogance tanks them.”

Lyman: “Plus his substance abuse is nothing of a secret, though I heard he’s spending his time between shows in rehab. We should be supporting the man trying to recover.”

Knots: “Adam? Nah, we shouldn’t. I just hope that these two ladies make him relapse!”

Lyman: “Does this have anything to do with Adam claiming to have beaten Kennedy last week?”

Knots: “Of course not!”

The bell rings and Adam points to the corner. Bison throws up his hands, confused by the order. Adam mouths something to him, which seems to upset Bison. From behind, both members of Lich House runs forward and dropkicks Adam right into his corner, shoulder first. Bison goes to step back over the rope but the referee stops him as Lilth goes to her corner on command. KEZ runs behind the referee's back and bails out with a front dropkick to Adam’s ass, forcing his shoulder to ram the ring post again! She yanks him back by the tights where Bison narrowly misses tagging himself in. She clubs Adam several times in his neck before whipping him into the ropes. She meets him with the slingblade!

Sharper: “Slingblade! Hook of the leg!”

1…

2-

Sharper: “Adam shoots his shoulder up. He’s hurting early in this match.”

Knots: “That’s what he gets for turning his back on the team. He didn’t see Lich House as a threat.”

Lyman: “They ambushed him. He’s paying the price. What more do you have to say?”

Knots: “That he’s a jackass and there’s no way he could ever defeat Kennedy!”

KEZ tags in Lilith Morgan. Adam is climbing to his feet and KEZ slips in behind him, slapping on a full nelson. While the referee is demanding KEZ return to her corner, Lilith walks up to Adam and holds her hand back for a big slap to his chest. He cries out. Lilith pulls her hand again, this time licking her palm before slapping the chest again. Lilith steps back, backing up into the ropes before springing forward but Adam ducks and Lilth collides with KEZ. Adam catches Lilth stumbling back from the collision and performs a German suplex. He rolls over to his feet. KEZ comes at him, he ducks underneath her clothesline attempt. She turns, a stiff DDT spikes her into the center of the ring. Adam pushes himself up and goes to start towards his ring but Lilth is already up and she yanks him backward into a sleeperhold.

Sharper: “Adam thought he done enough damage to get back to his corner and tag out but Lilth recovering fast from that german suplex.”

Lyman: “You can tell that Adam still is underestimating these two ladies. They came here to fight. You’re going to need to do more to put them on the mat.”

Knots: “This is very enjoyable.”

Sharper: “Imagine a win here against the former champs will get Lich House right in line for a shot against Big Ass and Jackass Connection.”

The hold seems very effective in draining the strength from Adam. He tries to throw his weight around to get free but Lilth ends up jumping up, wrapping her legs around his midsection. With the additional burden, Adam starts to stagger, struggling to find balance. He trotters until finally he throws himself into the corner. This knocks the legs free. He stumbles forward before launching himself again into the corner. Now free, Adam steps a few steps forward and then flies back with an elbow strike to the throat of Lilith. He turns around now and knees Lilth in midsection. Now staggered, Adam lifts and sits Lilth onto the top rope. He steps up and nails Lilth in the skull with a fist. Lilith responds with a headbutt. Adam takes the hit and wags his finger. He drills her in the jaw with an elbow.

Sharper: “Adam is battling Lilth on the top rope. He’s looking for a big time move.”

Knots: “Lilth’s not going easy.”

Lyman: “Both the corners seemed to be debating about getting involved but right now, it’s back and forth. Who’s going to win this skirmish on the top rope?”

Adam drills again and again with an elbow. He yanks her down, starts to go for a superplex. KEZ runs down the length of the apron and grabs a handful of Adam’s tight to throw him off enough for Lilith to breaks free with an elbow of her own. Lilith rolls over the back, landing on her feet and then carries Adam for a quick second for a powerbomb into the ring.

Sharper: “KEZ rescues Lilith. Lilith catches Adam with a powerbomb and now the hook of the leg!”

Knots: “Bison’s not going to get there in time!”

1…

2…

Sharper: “Close call but Adam kicks out!”

Knots: “Bison Jones was slow to react to that pin. He only just got into the ring to break it up. Now the referee is sending him back to the corner.”

Lyman: “Lich House is showing why they were signed! They’re bringing the fight to the veterans!”

Lilith drags Adam slowly to the corner. She tags in KEZ. Lilith pulls Adam’s arms back and drives her knee into his spine. KEZ steps in and runs past them then back, rebounds against the ropes again and drills Adam right a running knee strike. Adam slips free at the right moment and KEZ drills Lilith instead. KEZ doesn’t overreact. Adam stumbles to his feet. KEZ grabs him by the shoulder but there’s the pelekick! Both Lich House and Adam is down in the center of the ring. Adam crawls to his corner while the other two staggers. They’re finding their feet but Adam makes a drive to tag in Bison Jones. Bison Jones comes in to a small pop. He runs over Morgan with a shoulder block. Kez comes at him but he catches her with a running big boot. Morgan is back up, runs towards him but he tosses her up onto his shoulder for a samoan drop! KEZ tries her luck again but Bison catches her for a sidewalk slam in the center of the ring!

Sharper: “Bison Jones just cleared Lich House!”

Knots: “And now with the cover!”

1….

2…

Sharper: “Morgan manages to dropkick Bison in the face to break the pin there!”

Knots: “There’s a lot of weight bearing down on you, Morgan wanted to help out KEZ to escape the pinfall.”

Lyman: “Both Lich House members are still in the ring, the referee needs to restore order.”

Bison goes to stand, but Lilith Morgan goes to hit the superkick on him but Bison catches her leg. Bison pulls her in for the bearhug. He starts shaking her violently like a dog with a chewtoy. Adam is up on his feet and he runs by with a dropkick to KEZ before nipping up to his feet. He runs past Bison, catches Lilith with a running diamond cutter. Lilith rolls away to her corner while the Golden Boys turn their attention on KEZ. KEZ is already fighting to her feet. She turns and Adam sweeps her foot while Bison plants her into the canvas with the STO! Adam rolls out of the ring, holding his arms in the air acting like victory has been achieved.

Sharper: “Double team move there! KEZ is down in the center of the ring! Adam’s celebrating while Bison’s pinning!”

1…

2…

Sharper: “3!? No, referee says that KEZ kicked out right before 3!”

Lyman: “Adam thinks they did enough, but they haven’t. This match is still happening!”

Adam turns. He looks shocked at the ring as he then turns and runs over to the corner, extending his arm. Bison turns and grabs KEZ while Adam re-enters. He ignores the official. Bison then drags KEZ over and tags in Adam. Adam starts to direct traffic. Bison turns and whips KEZ into the ropes. KEZ bounces off and Bison hoists her up. Adam gets ready for whatever he just called, but KEZ fights and drops Bison with a DDT. Bison rolls over. Adam turns and runs over and grabs KEZ. KEZ however tries to sandbag before pulling Adam forward and into the ropes where Lilith recovers enough to catch Adam with a forearm. Adam falls to the mat. KEZ then turns and grabs Bison as he stirs and tags in Lilith. Lilith climbs to the top rope. KEZ more holds Bison, attempting to take him up with a back suplex, but failing, only for Lilith to dive down with the Sin Eater. The crowd roars. Lilith goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Sin Eater!”

Knots: “Wasn’t pretty, but did they get enough!”

Adam dives around KEZ, unable to get to Lilith, but instead, diving onto the official. The crowd ohs and Adam rolls over. The official grimaces and turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds as the crowd boos. KEZ turns as Lilith rolls off.

Sharper: “You’re kidding me! Adam Allocco refusing to allow a pin on Golden Boys. He just attacked the referee!”

Lyman: “It stopped the pin, but not the disqualification!”

Knots: “He better not claim he’s not lost this one. Kennie won last week, not him!”

Lyman: “Well, Jon…”

Adam rolls out of the ring. He drops to the floor, holding his arm up. Lilith starts to get up, glaring at Adam. Anastasia looks at Bison as Bison stirs. She runs over to check on him. The crowd boos as the scene fades out.

Holly Adams steps out of the A/C Unit locker room. We see several cameras from her Housewives show all around her. She smiles as she straightens the Adrenaline Championship around her waist. Asher then steps out behind her and goes to wrap his arms around her waist, but Holly steps away.

Holly: “Time to take down forehead!”

Asher: “Can’t wait to see it. Just a matter of time until we’re all golden…and…wait…Cid’s not back.”

Holly: “Don’t you have a bell on him yet? I mean, he still gets spooked by sudden noises.”

Asher: “Not anymore. He’s doing better with that. Taught him how to pick up a few weeks ago and it’s all working out.”

Holly: “Life coaching by proxy. I am damn good.”

Asher: “Yeah…well, he better be back. Gotta deal with that idiot Xander and Cid probably wants some revenge on him too.”

Holly: “You’ll find him. He can’t have gone far. Just like Crystal Zdunich’s career.”

Holly laughs and turns to the camera.

Holly: “Make sure you get a good angle for that one.”

Holly turns back to Asher.

Holly: “Now…to my title defense. Oh please…Can I even call it that?”

Asher: “Kick her ass.”

Holly heads off. The camera cuts to a side-by-side shot as we then see Crystal Zdunich walking out from her locker room, joined by Alexandra Caldwell. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Holly confident. Crystal Zdunich confident too. Adrenaline Championship, on the line, next, here on Breakdown!”

Knots: “Have they even been watching the show?!”

The scene cuts away.

Crystal Zdunich vs. Holly Adams

SCW Adrenaline Championship

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

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

As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros. “Smile Bomb” by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red-haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich walks from the curtains. She is accompanied by her fiancee Alexandra Caldwell, and the two of them make their way to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, accompanied to the ring by Alexandra Caldwell, from Los Angeles, California, she is The Burning Rose, Crystal Zdunich!”

Sharper: “And after picking up a win on the Rise to Greatness Pre-Show for the number one contendership to the Adrenaline Championship, Crystal Zdunich finally gets to cash in here.”

Knots: “And in her video to the fans this week, she said that she’s not focused on the title, she’s focused on kicking Holly’s ass! She’s losing it!”

Sharper: “Well, a lot of history there, but I know how much she wants that title. Taking it off of Holly will just be a bonus for her.”

Crystal is focused as she walks to the ring with a purpose. She however slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way. She runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She tosses her Shoto inspired hoodie towards her wife as she awaits the start of the match. Alexandra cheers for her fiance as Crystal is locked in a trance as her music fades.

Yes Bitch

SLAY

IT'S EXPENSIVE TO BE ME-EH-EH-EH!!

LOOKIN' THIS GOOD DON'T COME FOR FREE-EH-EH-EH!!!

The intro from "W FACE" by Kumi Koda cuts out as "XXPEN$IVE" by Erika Jayne kicks in full force around the arena as the stage comes into focus. Holly Adams steps up onto the stage, spinning into place at the top of the ramp, thrusting the SCW Adrenaline Championship high above her head, behind her a gaggle of men in black shirts reading, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills crew," holding TV cameras come running out capturing everything. Holly slides the Adrenaline Championship onto her shoulder and poses with her hand on her hip and her other hand high in the air as she pageant waves to the booing crowd. The camera men start directing Holly who continues to pose at the top of the ramp. She hands the Adrenaline Championship off to a member of the Camera Crew, instructing him to carry it for her while she starts her way down the ramp while continuing to wave.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from ‘The City of Angles,’ she is a Certified Life Coach and the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Holly Adams!”

Sharper: “On the other hand, Holly Adams will look to pile on, as she often does, by physically embarrassing Crystal here tonight in place of her usual verbal humiliation.”

Holly stops halfway down the ramp and puts both hands on her chest thanking a fan for their "adoration," for her. She smiles before continuing down the ramp. She walks to the other side of the ramp, pretending to put her hands out to high five and immediately pulls them away and goes back to pageant waving. Some men from the camera crew can be heard shouting to each other over the music that they'll edit that into a high five in post.

Knots: “Like you said, a lot of history between these two, lots of social media heat, and while Crystal will use her rage to fuel her, Holly’s pride in tearing down others might just outweigh Crystal’s anger!”

As Holly comes around the corner, she hops up onto the ring apron. Holly starts to sing along with her theme song, looking directly into the camera closest to her. She gives a million-dollar smile before putting her hand on the camera and pushing it away and she gets into the ring. The Housewives' crew follow behind her from around the ring and start getting various shots of her from every angle. Holly leans through the ropes as the member of the crew who was carrying the title for her hurries over and hands the Adrenaline Championship to an impatient looking Holly, who then immediately goes back to smiling as soon as she realizes there is a camera on her.

Lyman: “Whatever happens, it’ll be an interesting match up. Crystal has got some momentum behind her, but so does Holly, having been on a roll for these last few months.”

Knots: “And she’s doing it tonight without Cid or Asher, who are both seemingly preoccupied for very different reasons here on Breakdown. Holly’s out to prove she can do this all by herself tonight!”

Lyman: “Besides the entourage of cameramen, sure.”

Holly then grabs the top rope, bends down, and then snaps back quickly, flipping her blonde hair over her head, smiling brightly for the cameras, again thrusting the Adrenaline Championship above her head. As she takes her place in the ring, she starts her pageant wave once again, sliding the Adrenaline Championship onto her shoulder, as her music dies down, the Housewives Crew taking their place in Holly's corner ready to capture everything. The referee grabs the title from her and holds it into the air before handing it off at ringside. The bell sounds and Crystal suddenly rushes forward, going for a clothesline, but Holly ducks it at the last moment. Crystal turns and is met with a Beauty Killer from Holly! Crystal rolls to the ropes, clutching her face. The crowd boos as Holly turns and does her pageant wave.

Sharper: “Quick start here, Crystal tried to come right at Holly, but Holly was prepared!”

Knots: “She lured Crystal in before the match even started, she knew all the mind games would make Crystal a bit too eager, and look what happened!”

Crystal pulls herself up and runs behind Holly, jumping up on Holly’s shoulders before driving her back with a reverse Frankensteiner! The crowd roars as Holly rolls under the bottom rope, covering her neck.

Lyman: “You were saying, Jon?!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Crystal runs at Holly and slides, kicking Holly out of the ring with a baseball slide. Holly lands hard on the outside, rolling towards the barricade. Crystal stays down and rolls out, immediately going for Holly and picking her up as the referee counts. (1) Crystal rams Holly’s back into the barricade. Holly tries to stumble away, but Crystal grabs her by the hair from behind and slams her into the barricade again. (2) She peels Holly off the barricade and goes for a headlock, but Holly elbows her in the gut and pushes her away. Crystal tries to get back on her, but Holly hits her with the Women’s Special Slap! The crowd ohs as Crystal turns, holding her cheek. (3) Holly reaches out and goes to grab Crystal, but Crystal throws back an elbow, catching Holly in the jaw. Holly staggers back and decides to try and turn the corner. (4) Crystal stays on her, however, and runs at her before grabbing her and shoving her face-first into the ringpost! Holly’s head cracks against the post with a sick thud and she stumbles forward towards the announcer’s table, falling to her hands and knees in front of it.

Sharper: “Most of the action thus far has been outside of the ring, and now it’s spilling over to us!”

Lyman: “I’m not used to being on this side of things, so I’m getting the hell out of the way!”

(5) Crystal lifts Holly up from behind and the camera picks up blood coming from Holly’s forehead. Crystal slams Holly’s head up against the table.

Sharper: “And Holly’s cut early here.”

Knots: “First Crystal tries to scar Holly’s money maker, now she’s attempting to destroy our property! This is getting out of hand!”

(6) Crystal slams Holly’s head again before pulling her up by her hair and muttering angrily into her ear. She grabs Holly and hoists her up, dropping her right onto the table with a release backdrop suplex! The table doesn’t break, but Holly’s in obvious pain as she rolls off the table and to the floor, arching her back and wincing. (7) Crystal slides into the ring and pulls herself up, looking out to the crowd with a confident smirk. The crowd cheers her on with a “Crystal!” chant.

Sharper: “Crystal Zdunich on fire here, kicking into an extra gear here to humble Holly and regain SCW gold!”

Crystal slides out again and heads for Holly, who’s on a knee up against the announcer’s table. (1) Crystal goes to grab Holly, but Holly rips the top of the table off and flings it at Crystal, nailing her in the head! (2) The crowd boos as Crystal staggers back, falling up against the apron.

Sharper: “Holly using part of our table to take out Crystal!”

Knots: “Is that even legal?! I don’t know!”

Holly staggers to her feet and goes forward, grabbing Crystal. She whips Crystal towards the steel steps. Crystal’s left knee hits before she goes flying over the steps, immediately clutching her leg. The crowd boos as Holly takes a moment to rest against the apron. (3) She wipes her forehead, seeing her blood on her hand. Around the corner, Crystal pulls herself up, limping a bit. (4) Holly angrily turns the corner and stomps Crystal on the back of the injured leg, bucking Crystal. She rips Crystal up and throws her back into the ring, but stays on the outside with a hold on Crystal’s leg. (5) She drags Crystal to the next corner and wraps the injured leg around the post before pulling it back, grinding it against the ringpost while the referee counts.

Holly lets go and slides into the ring, immediately flipping Crystal over for the cover.

Crystal kicks out just after two. Holly uses her arm to wipe off some of the blood running down her face.

Lyman: “Only the first cover of the match.”

Sharper: “This is less of a match and more of a fight for survival!”

Holly shifts and quickly locks in a kneebar. Crystal cries out in pain as Holly continues to wrench back, the referee kneeling down to check on Crystal during the submission.

Knots: “Holly not known as a submission specialist, but she is known for honing in on your insecurities and weaknesses, so that’s coming into play here!”

Crystal turns over, but Holly manages to turn the hold into a single leg crab, still cranking back. The crowd buzzes as the referee continues to check on Crystal, who rapidly shakes her head. After a moment of struggle, Crystal slowly begins crawling forward. She reaches out and is able to get a hold of the ropes. The referee tries to pull Holly off, but Holly keeps the hold locked in, making eye contact with the referee and counting along with the count.

1! 1!

2! 2!

3! 3!

4! 4!

Holly releases the hold and walks away, yelling back at the referee.

Holly: “I have till five!”

Sharper: “Holly taking full advantage of that count, using every second to inflict more and more damage to that injured leg.”

Crystal nurses her leg while hovering near the ropes. Holly takes the moment to pose to the booing crowd. She turns and goes to pick up Crystal, who fires back with a forearm. Holly eats it and stands her ground, but Crystal nails her with another forearm, staggering her. Holly suddenly flings her leg forward, kicking Crystal in the injured knee. Crystal buckles to the mat. The crowd boos as Holly turns and once again pageant waves as blood continues to stream down her face.

Lyman: “Good God, she looks like Carrie! Credit to Holly, she’s been bleeding almost since this match started and will probably spend the night getting stitches, but she’s still finding time to gloat and beam under that crimson mask!”

Knots: “Beaten and bloody, but full of class! Always full of class!”

Suddenly, Crystal reaches up and pulls Holly down into a schoolboy!

Holly breaks free at the last second and springs up before swiftly running her knee into Crystal’s head before she can even get up. The crowd ohs as Crystal falls back to the mat.

Sharper: “Crystal almost steals one there, but Holly’s back on top, snuffing out the comeback as quick as it started.”

Lyman: “And Crystal, most of her offense is based on her legs and her speed, so we’re seeing her adapt with some hard strikes and then the quick roll up, but with so much of her offense gone with Holly working the leg, she’s fighting an uphill battle, but fighting nonetheless.”

Holly wastes no time, running to the corner and sizing Crystal up as she stirs, slowly limping to a vertical base. She gets to her feet and Holly rushes her, leaping up for Blonde Ambition, but coming up empty and almost falling to the mat. She gets up and turns, but Crystal plants her strong leg and leaps up to grab Holly, spinning around and planting her with a tilt-a-whirl DDT! She clutches at her leg while she scoots over to Holly for the cover.

Holly throws her arm up and rolls over, but Crystal reacts quickly and locks her into a crossface! Holly flails around briefly before managing to flip Crystal over into a pin.

Crystal releases the hold to kick out and rolls away. Holly quickly gets up and walks over to Crystal, who manages to catch Holly in a small package!

Holly breaks free at the last second and immediately rolls out of the ring to regain her composure. Crystal stays on the mat, taking a moment to recover and stare Holly down as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Crystal, like you said, Simon, she’s adapting here and has almost caught Holly a few times!”

Lyman: “I’m not sure if it’s because Holly thought she’d have it easy after injuring Crystal’s leg or if Crystal is just putting up a hell of a fight, but either way, it’s almost got her the win here!”

Holly rips at the ring skirt in frustration before heading to the timekeeper’s table.

Holly: “Give me that!”

She rips the Adrenaline Championship away from the timekeeper and takes it with her as she rolls back into the ring. Crystal pulls herself back to her feet using the ropes.

Sharper: “What the hell is Holly doing?!”

Lyman: “Getting herself disqualified, by the looks of it! Crystal’s got her shaken!”

Holly holds the belt in her hands, but the referee steps in front of her and tries to rip the belt away. Holly keeps a tight hold onto it, playing tug of war until she sees Crystal limping towards her. She relents and the referee yanks the belt away, going to set it in the corner. Holly suddenly spits in Crystal’s face! The crowd boos while Crystal holds her eyes, trying to wipe the spit away.

Knots: “Oh! What a move!”

Sharper: “Holly just spat in Crystal’s face! A classless but apparently effective act!”

Holly leaps up and nails Crystal with a bicycle kick! Crystal drops down and Holly quickly grabs her legs before flipping forward into a jackknife pin. The referee turns around and slides over for the count.

Crystal just barely kicks out. Holly crawls to the referee and screams at him for taking too long to get in for the count. Meanwhile, Crystal comes to and begins to process the fact that Holly just spit in her face. The crowd buzzes before roaring as Crystal suddenly becomes noticeably infuriated, pushing herself up back to her feet and turning to Holly, who stops screaming at the referee and sees Crystal standing over her. The crowd continues to roar. Holly scrambles towards the corner and grabs the title again. Crystal takes a moment to catch up with the limp. Holly turns and goes to swing the belt at Crystal, but Crystal ducks it before quickly countering with Flashing Lights! The belt flies into the air before falling onto the mat at the same time as Holly hitting the canvas. The crowd roars, but Crystal buckles down to her knee. Holly rolls out of the ring, clearly dazed.

Sharper: “Again, Holly trying to use that belt, but Crystal countering with a picture perfect kick!”

Lyman: “You see though, she had to plant on that weak leg, and she felt it immediately. Down to a knee now while Holly escapes.”

Crystal punches her leg before rolling out of the ring after Holly, who’s returned to her feet. (1) She stumbles into her camera crew. Turning around, she sees Crystal limping after her. Holly reacts by spitting at Crystal again, but Crystal manages to sidestep the missile. (2) Holly slips into the small group of cameramen and ends up using one of them as a human shield while Crystal limps over. (3) An enraged Crystal suddenly kicks the camera man in the gut, doubling him over! She then grabs the camera and swings it at Holly, cracking the camera right over Holly’s head! The crowd roars and the bell sounds.

Sharper: “Oh, my God! Crystal just clocked Holly with one of the Housewives cameras!”

Lyman: “I’m not sure whether that sickening cracking sound was Holly’s skull or the camera!”

Crystal throws the camera to the side and shoves the cameraman to the side, launching herself onto Holly and unloading on her with a series of punches.

Knots: “Crystal’s lost it! And by it, I mean her mind and the match!”

Crystal continues to unleash until Alexandra pulls her off, getting in between her and Holly, pleading with Crystal to calm down.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via disqualification, and still SCW Adrenaline Champion, Holly Adams!”

The crowd boos heavily as “XXPEN$IVE” blares over the sound system. Crystal blows by her wife and lays in a few harsh kicks, but both Alexandra and the referee pull Crystal off. The adrenaline seems to wear off as Crystal buckles to a knee, scooting over towards the apron to hold herself up while her wife checks on her.

Sharper: “After that disgusting act by Holly, Crystal just couldn’t take it anymore! She was out to send a message, but it cost her the Adrenaline Championship!”

Knots: “I hope it was worth it, Crystal! Trying to disfigure Holly with nothing to show for it except a loss!”

Meanwhile, the referee has the belt and hands it to Holly, who’s being helped up by her multiple cameramen. With blood still running down her face, Holly groggily takes the belt from the referee and holds it into the air, leading to some more jeering from the crowd. She cackles in response, still holding the belt into the air with pride and a smile.

Knots: “That’s the look of a winner, I guess.”

Holly staggers away, turning the corner and beginning to make her way up the ramp with her camera crew in tow. We see Crystal slam the mat in frustration while her wife and the referee continue to check on her and her leg.

Lyman: “I’ll say this, Crystal got some of her frustration out here, but I think once that bell rang, she realized just how much she wanted to beat Holly for the Adrenaline Championship.”

Sharper: “We suggested that this would be a very personal matchup, and it was indeed, but Crystal might be left wanting for more. For now, though, Holly Adams successfully retains in her first title defence.”

Holly stops at the top of the ramp and throws the Adrenaline Championship over her shoulder while putting her other hand on her hip. As blood continues to run down her face, she gives a somewhat weak pageant wave.

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see Asher Hayes, in his gear, pacing backstage on his phone. He then turns and hangs up.

Asher: “God damn it. Where the hell are you Cid?”

Asher turns as a ring crew member jogs past. Asher stops them.

Asher: “Hey! You! You’ve not see the next World Champion…”

Ring crew: “Ah…”

Asher: “Cid, you idiot!”

Ring crew: “Oh, I think he’s on a date at the Jewell with Syren.”

Asher: “What?”

Ring crew: “It’s been shown on camera.”

Asher: “What? On this show….you’re….Oh God damn it.”

Asher turns and storms off.

We cut to another part of the arena where Crystal Zdunich is storming backstage, pacing a bit as Alexander Caldwell looks at her.

Caldwell: “Get what you wanted.”

Zdunich: “I’d rather be champion…but…damn that felt good.”

Jessica Winters heads over to them.

Winters: “Crystal…can I get a word?”

Zdunich: “What? You going to say I screwed up.”

Winters: “More understanding the catharsis of unleashing that. More wanted to see where you head is at.”

Zdunich: “Holly Adams got some punishment that she damn sure deserved. I may not be Adrenaline Champion, but I hope she thinks twice before running my name through the mud. And if she doesn’t, I have no problem delivering a second dose. See, I had two goals tonight. I planned to kick her ass. I planned to walk out the Adrenaline Champion. I did the first….but I’m far from giving up on the second. Especially as long as she’s holding that title!”

Winters: “Well on that note, I should add. I had a chance to talk to Dean Black quickly before coming out there. He was watching part of the Adrenaline Title match. Holly asked to face Konrad Raab at Apocalypse. He said he’s adding you to Holly’s suggesting. Claiming she wants revenge…”

Crystal Zdunich smiles.

Zdunich: “We know damn well she’d never want that…not with me….let’s hope the Board of Directors listens.”

Zdunich smiles as she walks off with Alexander Caldwell.

The camera then cuts to show Kimberly Williams walking over to a storage crate. She places a dufflebag on it before turning grabbing another one, swinging it around and placing it such that she can sit on it. She then looks at it.

Kim: “Well…Jessica’s not here to take me away from this…so time for some fun.”

Kim then unzips the dufflebag. She then reaches in and pulls out her staple gun, getting cheers from the crowd.

Knots: “Oh no! She’s lost her governor!”

Kim then reaches in and pulls out Wasley, her loaded stuffed penguin. The crowd roars again. She smiles again before pulling out Betty White, her gardening shears gloves. She then looks at them before shaking her finger.

Lyman: “She’s preparing for war!”

Kim then reaches in and pulls out a roll of barbed wire and a roll of duct tape. She then smiles. She nods, surveying her weapons as the camera turns to show Jessica Tremor glancing over. A slight smile comes on her face. Hannah Warr then joins her, getting Tremor’s attention before they head off. Kim remains focused on her weaponry as the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Asher Hayes vs. Xander Valentine

The feedback over the PA system, as if a jack is plugged into an amplifier rips through the arena. While the noise attracts the attention of the crowd, spotlights, one after another shine down onto the stage. "Soul on Fire" by The Last Internationale crackles on the sound system as smoke begins to hover on the stage. A shadow stands behind an illuminated curtain, by this point the crowd already caught up in a frenzy.

As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander bursts out behind the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the ramp. The crowd cheers. Behind him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As she stops and positions herself behind Xander. As if she doesn't exist, he stares down at the ring, regardless if occupied or vacant. A serious glare is painted across his weathered face. He starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to stare at the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Artemis, from San Diego, California, he is the Executioner, Xander Valentine!”

The song begins to fade out at this point. Xander is at the bottom of the ring steps. He stomps the bottom step several times before moving pass the steps towards the side of the ring. In a single bound, Xander leaps up onto the apron. He poses for a moment, stretching his shoulders as he continues to look into the ring. He raises his arm high into his air, as to promise victory. He garners another response from the crowd. Meanwhile Artemis has left his side, instead moving towards the timekeeper to take the position of a watcher. She stands there as if no one else exists but Xander and his opponent. Xander looks over at Artemis for a moment, for the first time acknowledging her existence before leaping over the top rope. He steps over to the corner and prepares for the battle ahead.

Sharper: “That is one unhappy man. He’s not angry. I can’t say that. But he was hoping to be here standing as interim US Champion. That may not be the case.”

Lyman: “He’s now just hoping he can fix that before James Evans returns.”

Sharper: “But he has a hell of a consolation tonight. A big match against Asher Hayes who hopes he’s in line for the World Title should Cid win at Apocalypse.”

Lyman: “That contract can’t count?”

Knots: “Do you think he cares? He’d tried to use a deal signed on cocktail napkins to get what he wants. It’s how he finds his late night company too!”

The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Smooth Sailing" by Queens of the Stone Age echo throughout the arena. At the 26 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the stage, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses. He glances behind him before shaking his head.

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

“It's all in motion, no stoppin' it now
I got nothing to lose and only one way up
I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirage
All visions of collisions, fucking bon voyage..."

He makes his way down the ramp as the reaction 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, slinging the jacket off his shoulders, simply looking at the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side.

“It's all smooth sailing
From here on out
I'm gon' do the damage
That needs getting done...”

He stands, once again, on the top rope. He tosses his shades out to the crowd, as he looks toward the ceiling, before dropping down, removing his jacket and handing it to the ref before leaning into the corner, waiting for the match to begin. He keeps looking around, before shaking his head.

Sharper: “Asher trying to be confident, but I think he was hoping Cid would be here to help deflect some of Xander’s offense.”

Knots: “You mean be a tackling dummy if necessary.”

Lyman: “I get that Cid sees Asher as a close friend, but can’t he see he’s being used!”

Sharper: “For Cid, Asher’s friendship means more. But right now, he’s focused more on Syren. Whether he’s intending or not. This may be the first time Cid hasn’t been there for Asher in over a year!”

The bell sounds as Aaron Demitra backs up. Xander steps out of his corner, hands up. Asher Hayes steps out and walks around the ring. Xander then lunges and Asher ducks under and backs up. Xander turns and stalks him again as Hayes backs up and Xander swings. Asher ducks and spins around. He nails Xander with a hard right and then a second. He goes for a third, but Xander blocks it and nails him with a hard forearm. Asher rolls back from the impact. He gets up and Xander walks over and knees him in the ribs. He grabs Asher by the hair and spins him around, driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. Asher turns as Xander hits a back elbow. He steps out and hits a second back elbow. He then steps out again and hits a third back elbow. Asher falls to a knee. He crawls along the ropes.

Sharper: “Xander all over Asher. Asher tried to stick and move, but Xander caught him.”

Lyman: “Caught him and used his face for target practice.”

Asher slowly gets up and turns and Xander nails him with a hard forearm shot. Asher hits the mat. He rolls over and gets up and Xander kicks him in the ribs. He then whips him across the ring. Asher bounces off and Xander launches him up over his head with a huge back drop. The crowd ohs. Asher rolls over, holding his back in pain. He starts to get up and turns and walks into a boot from Xander. Asher hits the mat. Xander goes for the pin.

Asher kicks out.

Knots: “He got out. I’d almost say stay down!”

Sharper: “He may have some pride. But in one sense, he may be getting a taste of what it’s like to be in the ring with Syren. Not in terms of the power, but in terms of the intensity, the impact.”

Lyman: “Syren will make sure Asher pays and harshly. So that means she’s going to not hold back and inch and Xander doesn’t either.”

Asher rolls over as Xander gets up and grabs him by the hair again. He runs him face first into the top turnbuckle again. Asher stumbles out and just falls face first to the mat. Xander walks over and hits an elbow drop. He then grinds his elbow into the back of Asher. Asher yells out. Demitra asks if he taps. Asher snaps at him. Xander grinds his elbow into his back a moment longer before getting up. He then grabs Asher and pulls him up, but Asher grabs him by the head and hits a jawbreaker. Xander stumbles back. He shakes it off and then steps forward. He goes for a boot, but Asher hits a dropkick to Xander’s left leg. Xander staggers into the ropes. He bounces off and steps forward and Asher hits another dropkick, this time to the face. Xander hits the mat.

Lyman: “Great thinking by Asher. Go low and stagger Xander.”

Sharper: “Xander was nearly floored by that. But he made sure the second one counted.”

Xander starts to get up and Asher runs over and nails him with a hard right and then another and another and another. Xander shoves him back. Asher staggers and Xander steps up and Asher jumps up and hits an enziguri kick. Xander falls to the mat. Asher looks around as the crowd boos. Xander stirs and Asher runs over and stomps him in the back of the head and then again and again. The crowd boos again before Asher grinds the sole of his boot on the side of Xander’s head.

Asher steps off. He walks around the ring. Xander turns and grabs at the ropes. Asher sees this and runs over and kicks Xander in the ribs. He pops up and Asher runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a flip neckbreaker. The crowd ohs and boos. Asher turns and hooks the leg.

Xander pushes him off. Xander rolls over and Asher locks in a reverse chinlock. He pulls back as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Asher making sure to hit Xander hard himself. But now wearing him down.”

Lyman: “I don’t know about this.”

Knots: “Well he’s trying to just keep Xander down.”

Lyman: “Do you want someone already frustrated getting more frustrated?”

Knots: “Well if Cid was here, Asher probably could’ve gone with his first plan! Instead he’s trying to get with a married woman!”

Sharper: “Sure Cid’s not represented by Lexy Chapel?”

Asher keeps pulling back, looking around. Xander turns and starts to slowly get up. Asher holds on as Xander gets up to a knee. Asher then lets go and nails him with a hard right and then another before he runs across the ring. He bounces off and Xander gets up and grabs him by the throat. The crowd roars. Asher kicks him in the knee. He then steps forward and drops Xander with a snap STO. The crowd ohs. He gets up and runs to the ropes, jumping to the middle rope and hitting the Ash-sault. He hooks the leg.

Xander kicks out. Xander rolls over as Artemis looks on. Asher gets up and turns and snaps at Artemis to back up. Xander glances over to him and Asher turns around and grabs Xander, lifting him up, but Xander then just hoists him up and throws him back into the corner. Xander steps up and nails him with a haymaker and then a kick to the ribs before grabbing Asher by the throat and hitting a choke throw across the ring.

Sharper: “Asher may have overstepped. Xander turning it on and just launching Asher.”

Lyman: “He snapped at Artemis. And she was the key with the whole deal with James. James’s sister, but siding with Xander!”

Asher slowly gets up and turns and Xander walks over and knees him in the ribs. He then scoops him up onto his shoulder before dropping him with a powerslam. He hooks the leg.

Asher gets his shoulder up. He rolls over and turns as he grabs at the ropes. Xander walks over and grabs him and Asher elbows him in the jaw once and then again. Xander backs up. Asher jumps to the middle rope and goes for another Ash-Sault, but Xander catches him. The crowd roars. Xander then throws him forward and tucks him down into a sidewalk slam. The crowd ohs. Xander hooks the leg.

Asher just gets his shoulder up. He rolls over and Xander rolls off. Asher rolls over to the ropes and then under them. The crowd boos as Asher falls to the floor. Xander goes over to follow up, but Demitra stops him, backing him up. The crowd boos some more.

Sharper: “Xander nearly had him. Asher out of the ring.”

Knots: “Demitra unwittingly helping Asher here.”

Asher gets up and backs up from the ring. He then waves off the ring before backing up and shaking his head. He then looks around as the crowd erupts in cheers. Asher looks confused before turning as Selena Frost runs out from the back, nailing him with a forearm blow. Asher staggers forward and turns before Selena grabs him and pushes him to the ring before throwing him in. The crowd roars as Asher rolls over and then looks at Selena before turning and looking at Xander. Xander pushes Demitra aside before grabbing Asher by the throat and hitting a chokeslam. The crowd erupts. Selena looks on and smiles.

Sharper: “Asher was going to bail, but Selena Frost! From behind. Talk about karma!”

Lyman: “Yeah! Looks like while Syren is with Cid, Selena’s going to make sure Asher Hayes gets all he has coming to him and more! The partnership taking effect.”

Knots: “More like unholy alliance!”

Sharper: “And just think – Selena Frost helping Xander Valentine. Another assist I didn’t think we’d ever see.”

Lyman: “Enemy of my enemy…and after Asher touched Deanna. All bets are off!”

Asher reaches up and rolls over. He then turns and looks at Selena as Xander Valentine glances at Selena too. Selena just slightly nods at Xander as Xander then looks down at Asher as Asher tries to reach for the ropes, but Xander pulls him up and then hoists him up onto his shoulders. The crowd erupts as Xander cradles Asher’s head and then drops him with the Valhalla Has Fallen!

Sharper: “Xander! A new move! A variation of the burning hammer!”

Knots: “And Asher is out!”

Lyman: “Another look at Selena for good measure too.”

Xander then rolls Asher over, hooking the leg.

Xander pushes off. He then starts to get up. The bell sounds.

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

Selena backs up and smiles. She then turns and walks to the back.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine with a huge win tonight. He may not be interim US Champion. He may not be where he wants to be. But wins like this make it easier that he could be.”

Knots: “I’m more interested in this messaging between Frost and Valentine. They don’t like each other. Xander took out Regan Street. And Xander and Selena had a blood feud. But here….”

Sharper: “Well, while Syren is dealing with Cid on their date. Selena Frost making sure Asher Hayes wasn’t going to get out of this match. And this has become a bad night for first Holly Adams and now Asher Hayes.”

Lyman: “And key thing – Cid’s not here. How much is Asher Hayes going to put to that?”

Xander has his arm raised as Artemis climbs up onto the apron and into the ring. Asher rolls over, holding his head and neck in pain as Selena walks to the back.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as Selena Frost walks backstage and goes over to her locker room. She steps in and the camera follows her as she heads over to her bag. She reaches in and pulls out her phone. She quickly puts in her code before then flipping through and starting to text someone.

Sharper: “Looks like Selena Frost and Syren may be working together a lot more here in this one.”

Knots: “Reporting back! They’re taking this alliance seriously!”

Ace Marshall vs. Ricky James

“Real American” by Rick Derringer starts to play throughout the arena as Ricky James walks out from behind the curtain.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Miami, Florida, he is Ricky James!”

The crowd cheers as Ricky flashes a grin. Ricky marches down the ramp, high-fiving fans as he makes his way to ringside. Just as he reaches the ring, we see Lucy Huckabee Sanders starting to walk out from the back. The crowd boos a bit as Ricky jogs up the ring stairs with a pep in his step, completely unaware of LHS’s arrival. He climbs the turnbuckle and puts his arms up in the air, drawing more cheers.

Ricky then points to the audience and yells "Dios bendiga a México!" and then "God Bless America!" Just then Lucy chimes in from the stage.

LHS: “Exactly! God Bless America for giving someone like Ricky James a second chance to move on from his terrible past and start a new! And now, everyone, please, rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.”

Ricky looks at the stage, watching LHS as she puts her hand on her heart and speaks.

LHS: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!”

LHS looks at Ricky who has his hand on his heart. He watches her before he hops down into the ring. LHS then steps forward.

LHS: “See, Ricky…you need to remember who to be loyal too. Like our country, which I know you are…but it’s more than that. Now don’t mind me as I get a bit of a ringside seat…you still are my client!”

Ricky shakes his head as he walks around the ring. LHS walks down to the ringside area and starts to walk around.

Sharper: “Ricky James coming out at first with a bit of confidence, but Lucy Huckabee-Sanders coming out and that’s changing a bit.”

Lyman: “Demeanour changed. And right now, Rudy Powell and LHS have been getting involved in Ricky’s issues. Ricky moving on. Attacking Rudy…and then Gavin Taylor taking issue with Ricky’s new change of pace.”

Knots: “But damn it, LHS and Rudy Powell won’t go away quietly!”

LHS smiles at Ricky as Ricky keeps walking around the ring. An emergency siren begins to go off, as a black and grey TRIGGER WARNING appears on the screen.

"Feed my chaos" begins to play throughout the arena as blue and green strobe lights begin spinning over the arena. The crowd gives mixed reactions, before we see Lexy Chapel walking out from the back, motioning to the back before we see Katsumi Yashidi walking out in Ace Marshall’s entrance gear, his duster which drags on the stage behind her. She then spins around and steps on it before staggering forward. Lexy holds her up, preventing her from just falling off the stage before Yashidi turns and smiles before turning to the ring and just issuing the double bird.

Phillips: “His opponent, accompanied by Lexy Chapel, she is-“

Yashidi and Chapel head to the ring before we see Ace Marshall, shirtless, and in jeans, walking on the floor. He has a bottle of water and takes a swig of it before dumping some of it over his hair and then running his hand through it. Lexy turns and runs down to stop him. She then turns to him.

Lexy: “You’re hurt! Yeah, hurt! You so didn’t attack Shilo! That was all….the mind control. Yeah!-“

Ace: “Relax. We got this!”

Ace glances at the ring as Lexy turns to Katsumi who looks at her before reaching into the duster and starting to pull out a bottle of presumably lighter fluid. Lexy turns back to stop her as Ace then turns and looks at the ring before smirking. Ace points behind Ricky. Ricky just points to the big screen. Ace just shakes his head. He then runs to the ring and rolls into the ring. The bell sounds as Ace gets up and Ricky immediately cracks him with a hard right. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall I guess is facing Ricky James!”

Knots: “Probably for the best! I think Yashidi is packing!”

Sharper: “Not for Lexy Chapel. Ace Marshall playing games that Ricky James had no time for!”

Ace gets up and Ricky nails him with another hard right. Ace drops to the mat again. He gets up and turns to the ropes. Ricky steps up and forearms him in the jaw and then whips him across the ring. Ace bounces off and Ricky hits an arm drag. Ace rolls through and gets up before Ricky grabs him and hits a headlock takedown. Ricky gets up as Ace rolls over and stirs and Ricky runs into the ropes, bounces off and then jumps up and hits a monkey flip on Ace. Ace hits the mat and turns again before Ricky runs at him and clotheslines him up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs and cheers. LHS meanwhile acts like she’s showing Ricky off, pointing at him while turning to the crowd. Ricky turns and snaps at her to stop.

Ricky: “Stop it! I’m done with your crap!”

Sharper: “Ricky wanting nothing to do with Lucy Huckabee-Sanders right now.”

Lyman: “Ace Marshall moving furniture!”

Ricky turns back as Ace staggers up and stumbles over to the timekeeper. He then grabs him and throws him down before grabbing his chair. He lifts it up and folds it up. Lexy turns and heads over to him as Yashidi then pulls out her lighter, just playing with it in the corner. Lexy turns back.

Lexy: “No!”

Yashidi just looks down sad. Lexy turns to go back to stop Ace before she flicks her lighter again. Ricky turns and just watches Ace as Ace turns and rolls into the ring with the chair. Ricky runs over and steps on it. Ace then gets up and forearms him in the jaw. Ricky staggers back. Ace then nails him with another forearm and then another as Lexy’s concern turns to joy.

Lexy: “Kick his ass, lo…Autumn’s boy toy!”

Ace then whips Ricky into the ropes. Ricky bounces off as the official kick the chair to the floor. Ace hits a high knee. Ricky hits the mat. He rolls over. Ace turns and goes to the chair before turning to the official and then looking at ringside. He chuckles before stepping through to the floor. He then grabs the chair and lifts it up before rolling into the ring. Lexy’s concern immediately returns.

Sharper: “Ace going back for the chair now.”

Knots: “Is he even trying to win? Or is he just hoping to cause some damage?”

Lyman: “Does anyone know? Since Rise to Greatness, he’s been even more of a loose cannon.”

Ace gets up and turns, but Ricky lunges and hoists him up and hits the Stand Your Ground. The crowd ohs. Ricky rolls off. He then turns and stomps Ace in the jaw and then again and again. Ace rolls over and grabs at the ropes before Ricky grabs him and drives him face first into the top turnbuckle. Ace spins around and staggers out as Ricky runs out and hits a double knee to the face. Ace stumbles over to the corner before Ricky grabs him and whips him across the ring. Ace hits the opposite corner as the official again manages to kick the chair out. Ricky runs after and Ace gets and elbow up. Ricky stumbles back and then steps up and just nails the official with a hard right. The crowd ohs. Lexy jumps up, stunned.

Knots: “Jesus!”

Sharper: “What the hell is wrong with Ace?!”

Ace: “Hey! We brought that chair for a reason!”

Ace then turns, but walks right into Ricky James who spins around him and nails him the Hard Right. The crowd ohs. Ricky then turns and walks over to the official and checks on him. Lucy starts to yell at him.

LHS: “What are you doing?!”

Ricky ignores her. He tries to help up the official. The official turns, holding his jaw.

LHS: “Drop the dumbass and go after the other! Come on! You can do this for us! To get back on track!”

The official starts to come to as LHS then walks over and grabs the steel chair and slides it in. Lexy comes over and grabs the chair. LHS turns to Lexy as the two of them get in each other’s faces. Yashidi walks around the ring to help her manager before the official calls for the bell. The crowd boos a bit as Ricky then steps back.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via disqualification…Ricky James!”

LHS then laughs before backing up as Lexy turns to the ring. LHS then pulls herself onto the apron as Ace starts to get up. Ricky focuses on him.

Sharper: “Ricky turning to help the official.”

Lyman: “Guess he is turning over a new leaf.”

Sharper: “But now focusing on Ace. We know Ace may try something.”

Knots: “Looks like LHS is going milk this for her benefit!”

LHS walks over and then raises Ricky’s arm and points to him. The crowd boos as Ricky then pulls away. He turns to her as LHS speaks to him again before Ricky James tells her off and turns and exits the ring. He then starts to head to the ring. LHS starts to walk forward and then exits the ring. Yashidi points to her before holding up her lighter as Lexy ignores her and goes in the ring to check on Ace as Ace looks around, rubbing his jaw.

Sharper: “Ricky James still wants nothing to do with LHS!”

Knots: “Especially if she’s going to take the glory, but now the story is on Ace. It should be on Yashidi. Get that lighter away from her!”

Lexy starts to talk to Ace before Ace then grabs the ropes and pulls himself to the floor. He then walks around before pushing the timekeeper out of the way again before grabbing a microphone. He then turns back. Lexy walks over to the ropes.

Lexy: “What are you doing?”

Ace: “Alright…I know…you’re all going to laugh. Another loss for Ace. At least this one is the referee’s fault!”

The crowd boos as Lexy starts to nod before pointing to him.

Lexy: “See! A conspiracy!”

Sharper: “Oh lord…”

Ace: “But you know…screw it…we kicked Shilo Valiant’s ass for the second week in a row. You thought we were long dead…but damn it, nothing’s stopping us.”

Lexy: “Yeah!”

Ace: “So you know what…screw it! Shilo, you wanted to put me through a table. No! Screw you. You pay like crap and you threaten worse and…get it signed Lexy…Apocalypse…you and I, tables match!”

Lexy looks a but stunned.

Lexy: “What?”

Ace: “Yeah. You heard me. I’m not going to run for some wood…”

Ace scoffs a bit.

Ace: “Shilo likes his poetic justice and crap…hope he likes getting a few splinters in his ass when we drive his ass to hell!”

Ace throws the microphone behind him. Lexy Chapel turns to him and starts to talk to him as we then see Yashidi flicking the lighter on the ropes. Lexy turns and sees this and runs over to stop her. Ace then just steps off and rolls to the floor. He then chuckles as he nods as heads to the back. Lexy exits the ring and grabs Yashidi’s arm and starts to pull her around the ring to go head after Ace. Ace just continues to head to the back, showing some confidence and laughing off his loss, and his challenge, as we cut away.

The scene reopens at the Jewell to see Cid Turner standing up at this point, phone in hand, Syren not at the table. Cid looks around.

Cid: “Oh God…Asher lost with out me…okay…uh…she’ll have to understand. He’s important too.”

Syren returns and looks a bit confused.

Syren: “Oh…everything okay? I mean…it looks like you’re leaving.”

Cid: “Asher had his match. I told him I’d be back for it. You know…we look out for each other and all that. He’s taking it bad. I should-“

Syren: “Is this not important? Ravyn and Xander understood. Shouldn’t Asher understand?”

Cid’s eyes dart around.

Cid: “Okay…well, that’s a good point. I didn’t realize you were so smart. I mean…that came out wrong.”

Cid grabs his milk and takes a drink. He sits down. Just as he does, the waiter comes over with their dinners.

Syren: “Just enjoy dinner. Just like I’m enjoying tonight. We can keep talking and get to know one another.”

Cid: “Well, this all looks good.”

Syren: “Heard nothing but good things. And plus, the night is still young.”

Cid: “Well, Asher’s already lost. He’ll be out for drinks. I’ll help him when he’s rolling out of some bar later. It’ll be fine. We need to find out if there is something here.”

Cid pulls out his napkin and places it in his collar as Syren looks over ad shakes her head as Cid dives into his food.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as Ace Marshall walks backstage as Lexy Chapel follows him. Katsumi Yashidi follows, flicking her lighter. They stop outside of the Lexy Angels’ locker room.

Lexy: “Ace! What are you thinking?!”

Ace: “Look. We’ve got it. We’ve had everything. I know you’re worried about this conspiracy, but some things are stronger than it, and screw it, I’m sick of Shilo acting like he’s got something over me. And I need a win. So what better way than to kill two birds with one stone!”

Lexy: “Well…I…you better talk to Autumn! She’s pissed off.”

Ace: “Don’t worry. I’ll fix that.”

Yashidi: “And I set fire to tables?”

Lexy: “What? No! You…you get back in there. You should’ve been more forceful to stop Ace from further injuring himself!”

Ace enters the locker room as Yashidi follows. Lexy puts her hands on her hips, trying to come to terms with this. She then turns around and stops and gulps.

Lexy: “Oh…hi daddy…”

The camera pans back, showing CHBK standing across from her.

CHBK: “Hi…daughter….despite how hard that can be to believe some times.”

Lexy: “So…uh…what can I do for you? Wait! Are you coming to talk to me about the conspiracy? Of course! They’d turn my father against me!”

CHBK: “No, Lexy. I’m here because I saw last week that you’re dating Ryan Watson.”

Lexy: “Oh yeah…totally dating. SUPER dating. You saw us…me in the towel…and uh…this is weird.”

CHBK: “Let’s just move past that…and how about the fact that you’re dating someone who frankly, I’m surprised he’s even still in wrestling circles. He does some Tweetch thing or something. I don’t know.”

Lexy: “Oh yeah. Super dumb. But go on.”

CHBK: “But, how do I put this…oh yeah, I know. The son of a bitch, I owe an ass-kicking or two for and I’m sure he’d agree. So I figured I’d come here and clear the air and let you know how bad it is for him to be in your life, both for the fact that I think he’s a jaded, washed up has been who is trying to use you to needle me, and given that I want to make sure that anyone related to me doesn’t speak like him!”

Lexy: “What did you call him…you know-….nevermind. Just….uh…we’re good for each other. You know how it is. Like you and Ravyn…or er…my mom…you don’t know who fall in love with. Just like this stuff with Syren and Cid…I mean…really?”

CHBK: “Don’t change the subject. Lexy…dump the sodding bastard. While many may disagree, you can do better. And if you don’t…I’ll prove he’s bad for you.”

CHBK turns and walks away. Lexy watches his father walk away.

Lexy: “Oh boy…”

The scene switches to show Ricky James walking away from LHS.

LHS: “You can’t get rid of us. We’re a team-“

Ricky: “No! We’re not! I’ve moved on. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. I’m done with your insanity!”

LHS: “May I remind you that we’re still your representation?”

Ricky: “I dropped Rudy on his head. I thought that got the hint. But you’re not representing me for anything!”

LHS: “Too late…you wanted to face Gavin. We can do it. The unAmerican bastard deserves to have justice thrust upon him and you’re going to do it. Rudy’s drawn up the papers. He’s bringing them next week and you two will sign them!”

Lucy then steps up to Ricky.

LHS: “You won’t be getting rid of us! WE will make sure you do what’s best!”

LHS turns and heads off as Ricky James sighs and looks around before storming off in the opposite direction.

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

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

A spotlight shines on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors walking out from the back. She looks out at the crowd before just continuing her way to the ring. The crowd cheers her.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors on her way to the ring. Last week, she asked Dean Black for a favour. Even willing to pay for it. For someone to review the security footage from two weeks ago throughout the day.”

Knots: “Anyone know if she found anything?”

Lyman: “May find that out now. Who knows? I can’t tell by looking at her if she’s angry, annoyed, frustrated, or all of the above.”

Jordan runs over to the ring and then slides into the ring. She looks up and then pulls herself to her feet. She walks forward and walks across the ring. She reaches through the ropes and asks Phillips for a microphone. Phillips hands her one as she turns around, but as she does, the crowd erupts as Nicole Kinneck storms out from the back. She points in the ring.

Sharper: “We may not even get to why we’re here. Nicole Kinneck already on her way out.”

Knots: “Brittany! Great you’re defending Kennie! But what about everyone from Nicole!”

Nicole heads down to the ring. Jordan brings the microphone to her mouth.

Jordan: “Nicole! Listen to me for one moment!”

Nicole keeps heading to the ring. Jordan keeps watching her. Nicole rolls in.

Jordan: “Just stop! Listen to me. After, then we can throw down or whatever, but you need to listen to me here!”

Nicole gets up, Pro clearly in control. She looks at Jordan and starts to pace, before clearly saying to Jordan to get to the point. Jordan keeps her arm outstretched towards Nicole in a defensive position.

Jordan: “You want me to get to the point. There’s someone else that needs to be here. And I’m saying that for you, Nicole.”

Nicole: “Hurry the hell up! I want to kick your ass!”

Jordan: “Tell you friend to hurry up.”

Jordan turns to the stage.

Jordan: “Right Brittany?”

Nicole turns her head.

Sharper: “Oh no…”

Knots: “Maybe she wants her out here to keep Nicole in check.”

Lyman: “I don’t know.”

Jordan turns to the entrance way before “I Am Machine” by Three Days Grace plays. The cameras turn to the entrance way as Brittany Lohan walks out from the back, looking down at the ring.

Knots: “Hurry this up! Kennie is left without a bodyguard!”

Lyman: “She’ll be fine, Jon.”

Lohan looks at the ring as Nicole turns to her and then to Jordan. Nicole says something to Jordan as Jordan keeps watching both, her eyes darting back and forth. Lohan walks down to the ring. She then turns to Nicole before physically gesturing to her that she’ll take care of it. Lohan walks around the ring and over to Phillips before taking a microphone. She turns to the ring. Her music fades out.

Lohan: “Jordan…can you make this quick? I have a job to be doing. We already know nothing was found last week.”

Jordan: “Just get in the ring!”

Lohan smirks. She walks up the steel steps and then along the apron and steps in. She turns and walks over to stand next to Nicole.

Lohan: “So?”

Jordan: “Just watch…Production crew…roll it!”

Jordan paces a bit. We see security footage start to role on the big screen.

Jordan: “Now this should look familiar. That’s the shot that would show Nicole Kinneck attacked…in fact…if the production crew is doing their job…you’ll see it here.”

We then see the video move forward as Nicole Kinneck steps forward to grab the door, only for someone, an arm appear, driving Nicole into the door. Nicole just drops. Nicole watches, gritting her teeth.

Jordan: “So we all on the same page…well, let’s go a bit earlier. I’ve had the production crew already do the hard part by rewinding it to the part we’ll all find most interesting.”

Cutting back to the security footage, we see it rewinding in very quick speed before starting to play at normal speed. We see a crew member walking down the hallway, clipboard in hand before we see a shot of Brittany Lohan walking from the back of the scene and into view. She looks around before looking up at the camera. She keeps walking forward. Back in the ring, Lohan turns to Jordan.

Lohan: “Okay? I went for a walk.”

Jordan: “Keep watching.”

Back on the security footage, we see Lohan walking out of view before then showing the footage speeding up a bit, and showing Lohan walking back into view, five minutes later. She glances up at the camera again before turning to the door and just scanning the area. She then walks back, such that she can’t be seen. A few seconds pass before Lohan steps forward again and then looks up again. She walks forward and off camera again. The footage speed up again before stopping two minutes later. Lohan stepping forward and looking right at the camera again. She then steps forward before stopping. We can only see her hair in the scene. Lohan then steps forward and looks at the door again before smiling. She then walks off. The crowd boos as Jordan Majors turns and looks at Brittany Lohan as Nicole Kinneck keeps looking at the big screen.

Jordan: “Now why would you find that camera that interesting? Hmmm? And better yet…no one else did. So either this is the long con that someone just happened to get lucky about room placement and would know Nicole is there…a random attacker just weeks after Nicole was attacked at Rise to Greatness….or you’re trying to make sure Nicole and I don’t beat the hell out of each other in this ring.”

Lohan looks right at Jordan. The crowd roars.

Lyman: “Some interesting evidence.”

Knots: “Oh no…Kennie hired a felon!”

Lohan: “You want the truth.”

Jordan: “Yeah…how about we start with that, huh?”

Lohan: “Well, Jordan…you’re damn right I don’t want you two to fight. And you’re damn right I did it! You’re damn-“

Before Lohan can even finish, Nicole turns and just nails Lohan right int the side of the head with a hard right. Lohan falls to the corner and Nicole runs over and just nails her with a hard right and then another and another. He hammers away on Lohan as the crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Nicole heard everything she wanted to! Pro lashing out and attacking the woman who was her friend!”

Nicole gets a few more shots in before Lohan shoves her back and hard. Nicole rolls through and to her stomach. She gets up and Lohan steps out and goes to follow up on Nicole, but Jordan then jumps up and hits the Cash Out. The crowd erupts and Lohan hits the mat and rolls to the floor. Jordan rolls over and gets up as Nicole Kinneck gets up and then looks up at Jordan and then Brittany.

Sharper: “Jordan saving Nicole as Lohan was going to follow up. Cash Out on Lohan!”

Lyman: “Was that to save her or because she wanted to do it?!”

Sharper: “Doesn’t matter. Lohan down, but now the story may be Nicole? Jordan’s watching her, but look at Nicole!”

Jordan watches Nicole as Nicole grits her teeth before turning away and then turning to Jordan before turning back to Lohan and dropping to her knees, leaning on the middle rope. She looks at Lohan almost tearing up as Jordan just looks down. The crowd buzzes as Lohan turns, holding her jaw. She staggers up and falls to the barricade. She looks over at Nicole. Nicole just keeps saying “why” to her. Lohan winces, falling to a knee, before getting up. She then backs up. She turns and heads to the back as Jordan Majors turns to Nicole, unsure of what to do, as the scene fades out.

Tsunami in action

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

Sharper: “Oh lord…what are we going to have here. We believed that Spencer Pryce was supposed to face Tsunami and Tsunami assaulted him earlier.”

Lyman: “Yeah, talk about a big debut. Supposed to happen.”

Knots: “Well something was big about it. Namely the man who took him out!”

Howe continues to look around, drawing more boos before beginning.

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

Howe pauses.

Howe: “Wait a minute…why would I even introduce this man, this BEAST, without an opponent. I know some of you are thinking. But Mr. Howe, you’d say that if you’re at least capable of some class…”

The crowd boos.

Howe: “But Mr. Howe…perhaps there is another opponent. Well that is where you would be correct and thankfully, we have found such an individual to act as his opponent. Someone to ensure that some people take notice…the right people take notice, when we make a perfectly valid offer!”

Sharper: “What the hell does that mean.”

The crowd boos some more as Howe smiles.

Howe: “So, without further ado…My son…TSUNAMI!!!”

“Open Up” by Korn plays. The crowd boos some more before we see Tsunami step out from the back, a woman over his shoulder. The woman kicks and resists, trying to get free as Tsunami starts to head to the ring. Howe follows, berating the woman, as we see the woman is Gigi Steward.

Sharper: “That’s Gigi Steward!”

Knots: “Was she just backstage?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Tsunami has her. And he’s three times her size!”

Lyman: “We need some help out here.”

Tsunami reaches the ring and looks at it. Howe motions to him and Tsunami then muscles Gigi up and throws her over the top rope and into the ring. Gigi rolls over. Tsunami then reaches up and pulls herself up onto the apron. He steps into the ring as Howe smiles, rubbing his hands. Gigi starts to slide back and moves to the ropes. Tsunami steps forward. There is no official at this point. Gigi starts to pull herself up and looks at Tsunami.

Sharper: “What the hell is this? There’s not even an official!”

Lyman: “Get one out here. Try to stop this monster!”

Gigi then looks at Tsunami before looking around. Howe then brings the microphone to his mouth again.

Howe: “Ding! Ding!”

Tsunami steps forward, but Gigi turns and goes to exit. Tsunami runs over and grabs her. Gigi however fights before Tsunami pulls Gigi up and then just throws her back. He chuckles a bit as Gigi rolls over. She then pulls herself up to the ropes and Tsunami runs over and hits a running clothesline, knocking her down. Gigi rolls over. She starts to get up as Tsunami walks over and starts to follow her before grabbing her, but Gigi reaches up and rakes the eyes. The crowd roars. She then gets up and nails him with a forearm and then another.

Knots: “Run Gigi! Run!”

Sharper: “She’s trying to fight instead!”

Gigi turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off. Tsunami attempts a clothesline. Gigi ducks and bounces off the other side and jumps up and hits a dropkick. Tsunami staggers. Gigi gets up and hits a second dropkick. Tsunami stumbles back and then Gigi gets up and runs across the ring. She bounces off and Tsunami runs forward and clotheslines her forward. Gigi rolls over and Tsunami walks around the ring. As he does, we then see Katie Steward walking out from the back, showing some concern. She stops on the stage, glancing back to TJ Johnson before TJ turns to her. Katie points to the ring. TJ then starts to head down the rampway. Gigi starts to get up and Tsunami pushes her back into the corner. Howe starts to bark orders at him and Tsunami turns and backs into Gigi, pinning her in the corner. TJ runs over.

Sharper: “Tsunami now holding Gigi back.”

Lyman: “This is blackmail. He’s blackmailing Katie into a deal.”

Katie looks on as TJ Johnson talks to Howe.

Johnson: “What…what do you want?”

Howe: “You know what we want. We want a business deal. Just on our terms now.”

Johnson: “She said she’d think about it.”

Howe: “Thinking is overrated. We want action.”

Howe turns to the ring.

Howe: “Give her a taste, Tsunami!”

Tsunami leads forward and thrusts back. Gigi grimaces in pain. The crowd boos. Johnson looks around. Katie just makes a face at TJ. Johnson turns to Howe.

Johnson: “What’s the….ask…what’s the ask?!”

Howe: “Glad you asked…”

Howe pulls out a card out of his blazer and hands it to TJ. TJ looks at it and his eye bulge out. He glances back at Katie. Katie motions to him.

Johnson: “I…I…”

Howe turns to Tsunami.

Howe: “Tsunami!”

Johnson: “No! No! No!”

Howe: “Give her another taste!”

Tsunami leans forward and then thrusts back into Gigi. Gigi falls forward. Katie just steps forward, increasingly animated as TJ looks back. TJ turns back.

Johnson: “Okay, okay…I’ll…I’ll-“

Just then, the crowd roars. We see Purity Pixie run down from the back, past Katie Steward and then right through to the ring, sliding in. Purity gets up. Tsunami runs forward and goes for a clothesline. Purity ducks and runs to the ropes.

Sharper: “Purity Pixie! She’s coming out!”

Knots: “She’s not giving up on Katie and now helping Gigi!”

She then slingshots over. Tsunami runs across and Purity hits a pump kick to the head. Tsunami staggers back and Purity springboards to the top rope and dives forward and hits the From Never-Never Land. The crowd ohs. Tsunami hits the mat and then rolls over and right out of the ring. Howe moves away from Johnson and over to his monster.

Sharper: “Pixie manages to get Tsunami off his feet. And to the floor!”

Lyman: “And ending this blackmail!”

Tsunami starts to get up as Howe looks at the ring. Purity gets up, wincing a bit, before looking at Tsunami as he gets up. Katie looks on as TJ turns and heads over to Gigi, checking on her. Howe then points to Pixie before then turning to Katie. Howe turns to Tsunami as he looks around.

Sharper: “Tsunami…off his feet. Howe incensed.”

Lyman: “Purity Pixie stepping up. Katie, I know you’re angry. But you can step up too!”

Howe turns and starts to get Tsunami’s attention as TJ keeps checking on Gigi as the scene fades out.

We open back up in the Jewell where Syren smiles as she leans back. Cid Turner is not at the table. Syren looks across as we see a blonde waitress walk past and deal with the table next to them. Cid walks back over and sits down. He takes a deep breath.

Cid: “Sorry about that. Too much milk. But…uh…so, I think we’ve clicked a bit and well-“

Just then, Asher Hayes storms over to the table.

Asher: “What the hell is this?!”

Asher turns and looks at Syren before turning to Cid. Cid looks over.

Cid: “Oh…hey Asher. Hitting the bottle early. Look, just finishing up here-“

Asher: “Oh yeah. You ditched me for her!”

Cid: “Well, no, not quite. Just took a night off from things and figured some things out. I think Syren and I are soulmates. I know…you’ll say I’m a fool. But tonight went well, all thanks to you and Gleebnorb…oh yeah, Syren, I was part of a ceremony. When finding myself, I apparently have a mystical being inside of me.”

Syren: “Uh-huh.”

Asher: “Yeah, well, how about we take that mystical being and kick her ass. Xander Valentine and Selena Frost beat me earlier. And where were you!”

Cid: “Here.”

Syren: “Exactly as intended.”

Cid & Asher: “What?”

Syren: “Sorry Cid…there is no way this is happening again and all tonight proved is that I can’t wait for Selena to kick your ass and for me to kick your ass Asher.”

Asher: “Oh well. I mean you’re sitting down so this should be eas-“

Just as Asher rears back, we see the blonde waitress grab the drink of water from the patron and throw it in the face of Asher. The blonde is revealed to be Selena Frost.

Sharper: “It was a step up! It was a step up to divide and conquer! And to plant seeds of doubt!”

Selena then kicks Asher in the ribs as Cid gets up, but Syren takes his milk and throws it in his face. He falls back blinded before Syren shoves the table hard into Cid’s ribs. Cid falls back and Syren then gets up and grabs his plant, dumping its contents over him. Asher falls to a knee. He gets up, when the patron at the table behind, steps out, revealing herself to be Deanna. She then looks at Asher and kicks him right between the legs. Asher goes down. Deanna steps back as Selena smirks.

Selena: “Cid…you’ll never get my title…and together, you can’t beat us. No matter what.”

Syren: “Hope you enjoyed. I know my answer…hell no. And Asher…next time, I’ll kick harder!”

Syren and Selena turn and walk off as Selena takes off the server’s uniform. We then see Syren walk over to the booth, grabbing her purse. Cid turns and slides out, checking on Asher. Deanna joins Selena as Syren pulls an envelope out of her purse and we see a male walking over. Syren hands them the envelope.

Syren: “Should pay for this and everyone’s meals. Trust me. This was worth it. And you’re getting every bit of the five-star rating I’m giving you.”

Selena: “Different type of live entertaining, right?”

Syren: “I hate to say it…we worked well together.”

Deanna: “Careful, we may burst into flames.”

The three leave the restaurant as Cid keeps checking on Asher. Asher pushes him away.

We cut back to the arena.

Lyman: “An ambush to say the least!”

Sharper: “Syren and Selena, you said it. Diving and conquering and in the process, humiliating both!”

Will Westgate vs. Marie Caedes

The lights in the arena dim to near darkness, as over the PA system comes the opening lines of Kanye West’s Can’t Tell Me Nothing...

La, la, la la
Wait 'til I get my money right

As the beat drops, red lighting effects overtake the arena. Bright white flashes cut in, synchronised with the soulful sample that loops in the beat. An exuberant Will Westgate emerges from the back, with his arms spread wide, imploring the audience to shower him with affection, which they do not. In fact, most of everyone is booing the arrogant self-proclaimed “Trending Topic” but that does nothing to curb his hubris. He signals to the nearest cameraman to come in closer, as he models his outfit and flashes his jewelry. Westgate continues down the ramp, acting as if the fans are applauding him, as he smiles, waves and bows.

Phillips: “Making his way to the ring.... all the way from Thrilladelphia, he is Will Westgate!”

After Westgate has adequately aroused the fans, he walks up the ring steps, coming to the middle of the apron where he stops. Westgate removes his expensive shades and stares straight down the lens of the camera with a deadpan expression, before cracking a charming smile and entering into the ring. Finally, he removes all his entrance attire and jewelry, handing it off to a ringside crew member and making sure to remind them that his clothing is very expensive, so they better not lose it.

Sharper: “Here we have one of SCW's newest stars in Will Westgate. A very flashy and proud young man.”

Knots: “Can't blame him really, did you see that jacket?”

Lyman: “Couldn't miss it, really...”

Knots: “Don't be jealous, Simon.”

Sharper: “And now we have a young lady making her SCW debut, I've heard a lot about this woman and the wrestling lineage she comes from.”

“(Amen) Its Saturday” starts to play as the arena plunges into darkness. Pink and white sparks fall down from the top of the arena as a shadow appears at the top of the entrance. As the lights come Marie Caedes is standing there smiling. She looks around the arena taking it all in before starting to skip to the ring.

Phillips: “And his opponent... from Savannah, Georgia, she is Marie Caedes!”

Marie slides into the ring as the chorus starts. She stands on the turnbuckle with her arms out, drawing some applause. Marie then hops down and pulls on the ropes, testing them out as her music fades.

Knots: “I'm hearing Marie Caedes is only nineteen years old, I think that makes her the youngest wrestler on the roster, am I right?”

Sharper: “I believe you are, Jon.”

Lyman: “If I remember correctly from what Amy Chastaine told me, Marie is only about two weeks older than Jaina Lancaster. Amy and Marie's mom, Lynn Brewster, are old friends-turned-rivals-turned-friends again.”

Sharper: “I've heard great things about Brewster, looking forward to seeing what her daughter can do.”

The bell rings. Marie and Will size each other up a few moments, then Marie goes in for a lock up. Will quickly switches to holding Marie from behind. She tries to struggle out but Will gets her up and over in a snap suplex. Marie lands on her back but rolls through. Will turns and Marie is back on her feet. Will looks her up and down, nodding. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Looks like Caedes' quickness impressed Westgate.”

Lyman: “And this crowd, too.”

Will doesn't stay impressed for long, he runs at Marie going for a lariat. Marie ducks and spins. Will bounces off the ropes and comes back towards her, arm out. Marie leapfrogs over him. Will bounces off the other side as Marie turns. Marie then drops Will with a textbook dropkick. The crowd applauds. Both get up, Marie a little quicker. Will is up to one knee, and Marie drills him with an enzuigiri. She makes a cover.

1!

Will kicks out. Marie rolls off and hops to her feet. Will kips up and immediately runs at Marie, scooping her up and planting her with a side slam. He gets to his feet and quickly hits a springboard moonsault, then makes a cover of his own, hooking a leg.

1!

2!

Marie kicks out. She rolls away and Will gets to his feet.

Sharper: “A pair of pin attempts in this fast paced bout, and so far the new blood of SCW seem evenly matched.”

Knots: “Neither are rookies, but both are young. This may come down to who makes a mistake first.

Lyman: “That is usually the case when trying to make an impression in a new company. Nerves, stress get to you.”

Will goes to Marie and pulls her to her feet, then sends her across into the ropes. On the return he nails her with a discus lariat. Marie goes down hard. Will looks around, almost strutting a a bit, proud of himself. The crowd offers some boos. Marie stirs and Will reaches down to pull her up. Marie grabs him though and pulls him down into an inside cradle!

1!

2!

Will kicks out, rolling through. Marie gets to her feet, smiling. Will gets up, and stares at her in shock.

Knots: “Looks like Will Westgate got a little too cocky about knocking Caedes down and nearly got caught!”

Lyman: “And he's not happy about it.”

Will runs at Maria and grabs her, looking to send her across again, but this time Marie counters and slings him into the ropes instead. On the return Marie drops him with a hurricanrana. She makes a cover.

1!

2!

Will kicks out. Marie gets up, giving Will a boot to the chest to keep him from getting up. She then quickly hops up the turnbuckle and turns towards the ring. She looks around as Will starts to stir. With no time to waste, Marie leaps, flipping in the air before landing on Will in a splash.

Lyman: “She calls that Girls Rule!”

Sharper: “And the cover!”

Marie hooks a leg.

1!

2!

3!

Will gets his shoulder up a second too late. The bell rings.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, by pinfall.... Marie Caedes!”

Marie gets to her feet and the official raises her arm. She smiles as she looks around the arena, her music blaring.

Sharper: “Impressive debut for this young lady, I hope to see much more of what she can do.”

Lyman: “I'm sure her mother and father are proud, they are both retired wrestlers. Good back and forth match here, Marie's counter of the Irish whip is what gave her the edge at the end.”

Knots: “Good lineage, great wrestling, and she's cute to boot. She's a great fit for SCW!”

Will rolls out of the ring while Marie gets up on the second rope in the corner and poses, her arms overhead celebrating her debut win to applause.

“The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still for Minerva, Hemingway, Valentine & Raab vs. Cannon, Knight, Matthews & Braddock.

Sharper: “Main event time. Eight person tag and this is going to be a big one. The war starts next!”

The scene fades to black.

Minerva, Drake Hemingway, Tommy Valentine & Konrad Raab vs. Chris Cannon, Lucas Knight, Christy Matthews & Glory Braddock

The big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken, the only image we see is that of a glistening perfect world logo. We then hear a woman’s voice over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

There is the sound of static before the opening guitar to “Prometheus” by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, Lucas Knight, Christy Matthews and Glory Braddock stand proudly on the stage. Christy turns and extends her arms as Lucas Knight smirks. Glory Braddock scans the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining. First, on their way to the ring, they are Glory Braddock, Lucas Knight, the SCW interim United States Champion, Christy Matthews, and Chris Cannon!”

The crowd cheers as the four individuals walk down to the ring. Chris Cannon focuses on the ring, refusing to play to the crowd while Glory Braddock and Lucas Knight do a bit. They get to the ring as Lucas rolls into the ring. Glory Braddock climbs up onto the apron and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and looks out. Christy Matthews goes across the ring and sits in the corner as Chris Cannon slides into the ring. He goes over to a turnbuckle and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle before looking around. He then hops down.

Sharper: “Four individuals teaming together to stand up to the Jackals tonight in Omaha.”

Knots: “Chris Cannon leading the charge, but he can’t touch Minerva. Minerva can’t touch him. Or the person who instigates it will automatically be disqualified in their match at Apocalypse!”

Sharper: “Big stakes there. But not just that, there’s a desire for destruction tonight. This could be a wild one.”

The arena goes dark, the sounds of “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie plays, echoing when a lone spotlight is shown where Minerva is on the stage, kneeling and licking her lips, looking around wearing her hat and Glasses, carrying her gypsy chain hooked to the neck of a leather covered Konrad Raab sporting his zipper mask. Minerva is wearing an intricate black jacket, carrying a black rose. She slowly looks around with a smile on her face before crawling a little and slowly standing on her two feet where she unzips his mouthpiece and places the rose in his mouth. Kandis and Tommy Valentine walk out next, holding their World Tag Team Championship belts. Drake Hemingway walks out last, turning to Minerva. They briefly talk as they look down at the ring.

Phillips: “Their opponents, accompanied by Kandis, they are the team of Konrad Raab, Drake Hemingway, World Tag Team Champion Tommy Valentine and Minerva, they are the Jackals!”

The crowd boos, as she starts to laugh, biting down on her pierced lips before looking around wide-eyed and making her way to the ring pulling Konrad in tow. She stops and gets close to some of the fans before backing up and licking her lips again. Turning to the rampway where she points to the ceiling, her eyes roll to the back of her head, not moving, making the signal of the cross as Konrad crawls up the steps like a four-legged creature. Minerva starts to laugh before she hops on the apron, hanging upside down on the ropes for a moment as the crowd continues to boo. Drake Hemingway stops at the ring as Tommy does too. Tommy hands his title off to Kandis. Minerva then climbs up onto the apron as Drake and Tommy slide in. Konrad steps in as Minerva looks across at Chris.

Sharper: “We talked about intensity with Chris Cannon. Minerva looking across at the man who holds her community’s future.”

Lyman: “Still can’t believe that her father, Goddard, got involved. But we know that history with Peyton Rice.”

Sharper: “But you can feel the tension here. And here we go!”

Senior official, Aaron Demitra calls for the bell. Drake then steps up and kicks Glory in the ribs as Tommy runs forward to Christy. Lucas and Konrad pair off as Chris and Minerva just continue to watch one another. Lucas clubs Konrad a few times as Konrad tries to wrestle him down. He manages to take Lucas down and they roll over and go to the floor. Christy and Tommy trade blows before Tommy gets an advantage and knocks Christy back to the ropes. Tommy backs up and runs at Christy, but Christy pulls the top rope down before exiting the ring after to follow up. Drake kicks Glory again and then a third time before grabbing her and whipping her into the ropes. She bounces and jumps up and nails him with a forearm blow. Drake hits the mat. He turns and Glory stomps him in the back and then again before exiting the ring after him, when he rolls to the floor. Cannon and Minerva then walk up toward one another. The crowd roaring.

Sharper: “Everyone clearing and fighting on the floor. Cannon and Minerva in the ring!”

Lyman: “Face to face. We could see it all blow up here. Cannon, you need to control yourself!”

Minerva and Cannon continue to stand a few feet apart. Chris just bores a hole in Minerva with his glare as Minerva smirks, pointing to her jaw. Just then, Lucas spins Konrad into the ring from the floor. He slide in after. Lucas then grabs Konrad and throws him between Cannon and Minerva. Minerva backs up and exits as Cannon turns to Lucas and Lucas nods at him. Cannon exits too. Drake staggers off from Glory as they break up. Tommy backs away from Christy as Konrad gets up in the ring. Lucas nails him with a hard right. Konrad hits the mat. He gets up and Lucas kicks him in the ribs before running him over, face first, into one of the neutral corners. Konrad turns and Lucas kicks him in the ribs once, twice, and then several more times, causing Konrad to drop down to a seated position. The official starts to count.

Lucas however walks away and tags in Christy. The crowd roars. Christy enters and Konrad starts to pull himself up and Christy runs over and kicks him in the ribs before hitting a shoot kick to the jaw. Konrad staggers out and stumbles to the middle of the ring. He turns and Christy hits a dropkick, knocking him down.

Sharper: “Hard dropkick and Christy in as the Order of Chaoes doing some damage early!”

Knots: “They’re focusing on Konrad and he better get some motivation from Minerva, but she’s going to be pissed if he loses here!”

Christy goes for the pin.

Konrad kicks out. Both get up and Christy pulls Konrad up, only for Konrad to hit a European uppercut. Christy hits the mat. Konrad falls back and tags in Minerva. Minerva enters as the crowd boos. Christy gets up and Minerva steps up and hits a running clothesline. Christy rolls over. She turns and Minerva pulls her up and grabs her arms and hits a series of arm-trap headbutts. Christy stumbles back to the ropes. Minerva then pulls her out and hits a short-arm clothesline. She goes for the pin.

Christy kicks out. Both women get up and Christy falls back into the neutral corner. Minerva follows up and chops her in the chest before hitting and overhead chop. She then kicks her in the ribs and whips her across the ring. Christy hits the opposite corner. Minerva runs after and Christy gets a boot up. Minerva stumbles back. Christy steps out and hits a spinning heel kick.

Sharper: “Matthews caught Minerva. A bit too aggressive.”

Lyman: “She keeps looking over at Chris. She’s making sure everything is a message.”

Knots: “She needs to focus on winning the match. That’s the best message you can make!”

Christy gets up as Minerva rolls over. She starts to get up and Christy grabs her and runs her over to the ropes. Minerva bounces off and Christy hits a straight kick to the ribs and then backs up and hits a kick to her chest before hitting a facebuster. She follows up with a pin attempt.

Minerva kicks out. She turns and Christy grabs her and pulls her up and drags her over to the corner, but Minerva pulls her back and hits a snap back suplex. Christy rolls over. Minerva rolls over. Both women get up and then both lunge. They both catch one another with a swinging blows. Minerva stumbles to the ropes. Christy does too, but close enough for Glory to tag in. She enters as Minerva reaches over and tags in Drake. Drake enters. He runs forward and goes for a clothesline, but Glory ducks and stops. Both turn around and Glory hits a jumping enziguri kick. Drake falls to a knee. Glory gets up and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a running shining wizard, but Drake catches her and then drops her with a release powerbomb. The crowd ohs. He rolls through for the pin.

Glory kicks out.

Sharper: “Oh! Nearfall. Drake nearly got the three right there!”

Knots: “Caught her coming in and Drake muscling her up for added impact!”

Lyman: “A bit of a taste of what awaits them come Apocalypse. Braddock and Hemingway to clash!”

Drake turns as Glory gets up and Drake clubs her in the back. He then spins her around and kicks her in the ribs before whipping her into the ropes. Glory bounces off and Drake hits a back elbow.
