“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:

We open up with a shot of a swirling snowstorm, snow flying across the screen. We then see a shot of Syren holding the SCW World Championship, with Katya smiling with her. This is then slowly disrupted and disappears like sand being blown away by the wind. This is followed by a shot of Katya sternly talking to Owen Cruze, Chris Cannon and Kennedy Street backstage before that image is blown away. Shots of Kandis smiling, Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant attacking Kimberly Williams backstage, and Xander Valentine putting Dante McCaffery through a table follows, before each shot is blow away.

Shots of Bree Lancaster holding the US Championship, before showing Andrew Raynes attacking various wrestlers with a steel chair at Making Things Right come up on the screen before they blow away. We follow with a shot of Giovanni Aries jumping off the scaffolding and missing Selena Frost. Sienna Swann then smirking with the Truelove Twins and Laura Steinbeck before showing Owen Cruze diving off a steel cage onto CHBK and Alexander Crowe continue the scenes blown away. We then see Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries backstage before cutting to show Chris Cannon striking Kennedy with Laura Steinbeck’s shoe, before they swirl off scene. Finally a shot of Mr. D down, backstage, bloodied face, after being sent through his car window at the end of Retribution comes on the screen before slowly fading away, leaving purely white screen.

Footsteps are heard as Sasha walks into view. She looks around. She then takes a deep breath.

Sasha: “My turn…”

The scene goes bright white.

“Basic Needs” by Jonathan Davis plays as one the white screen we see the writing of the Tabula Rasa logo come up on the screen.

“And now, Supreme Championship Wrestling presents Tabula Rasa!”

The logo remains on the screen for a moment before we cut to the inside of the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington. Pyro shoots from the stage and into the area before sparks blast around the steel cage that hangs over the ring. The cameras start to pan across the screen before spotlights follow. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Welcome to Seattle, Washington, as we have a clean slate and Sasha looks to put her mark on SCW going forward!”

The cameras pan for a few moments longer before turning to ringside and the announce table where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots sit.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and four titles on the line tonight including out main event, we could see the youngest World Champion crowned!”

Knots: “Interim World Champion, but it counts. But Owen Cruze has to get through Sienna Swann and Sienna seems to have an angelic horseshoe up her ass. So Owen, get ready!”

Sharper: “Selena Frost will face Giovanni Aries for the US Championship. Giovanni Aries has become even more aggressive in his approach, but this is a rematch many of us have been waiting for a while.”

Knots: “And coming off Giovanni Aries covering her a few weeks ago. Hopefully he stays away from scaffolding this time!”

Sharper: “Of course, the match you’re looking at. Kennedy Street faces Chris Cannon.”

Knots: “Get ready for your ass-kicking. Kennie is not in a happy mood and after the disrespect you showed on Breakdown, it’s coming!”

Sharper: “But let’s now go to the ring. Our first title match of the evening!”

Kandis vs. Regan Street

SCW Adrenaline Championship

The arena goes dark....

The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar....

Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena…..

The beautiful and confident Regan Street walks out in her new wrestling cheetah print ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela behind her.

She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with cheers and cat calls no pun intended. Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, smirks followed by walking to the ring determined for her next match starting to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela. Regan starts to look over at the crowd, they cheer her, she nods, high fiving the fan as they cheer in excitement, Regan smiles and continues to walk to the apron staying fully focused inside the ring and her opponent, Mikaela leads ....

Phillips: “The following contest is the opening match of Tabula Rasa, scheduled for one fall and it is for the Adrenaline Championship! Introducing first, from Santa Monica, CA, weighing in at 120 lbs, accompanied by her sister, Mikaela, she is the Adrenaline Champion…. “The Hellcat” Regan Street!”

The crowd roars, Regan gets to the apron and hops up to the ring; she flips over the ropes back first to the cheers from the fans, Mikaela slides after her. Once inside the ring Regan goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way as Mikaela claps before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring where she takes off her entrance attire and nods to her sister, handing her the gear and she makes her way to the corner while the Hellcat stands waiting to start her fight...

Regan then cart wheels and ruffles her hair as she waits for the match to begin…..

Sharper: “What a way to kick it off here at Tabula Rasa with out first title match of the evening and The Hellcat has been on a roll, a tear since losing to Datura back in January!”

Knots: “A switch came on. After that we saw a more focused and determined Hellcat that has gone on to win the Adrenaline Championship. She’s my cousin in law, Sharper and that title, she vows it’s not going anywhere, she is waiting for Datura to return but she cannot look past Kandis and all that ass.”

Sharper: “She is impressive and a future Champion here in the SCW, that future might be tonight.”

The opening bass of "Baby Got Back" begins and Kandis steps out from the curtain, a sway in her step. The music cuts to a remixed version of the chorus, with added bass, and Kandis turns around to wiggle her bountiful rear end.

Phillips: “The challenger, hails from west Hollywood, CA.! Weighing in at 161 lbs.! She is Kandis!”

Some of the males in the crowd cheer as Kandis turns back and starts down the ramp. When Kandis gets to the ring steps, the line skips in the remix:

"My anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon!"

Kandis shakes her hips in time to the words, then steps through the ropes and slaps her ass right at the whip sound. The bass line continues as Kandis bounces on her feet a little, shaking all her assets. Regan looks on unimpressed, shaking her head while sitting on the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Kandis is one of the EMERGE newcomers to watch. She has been extremely impressive though I think Regan takes offense that she sided with Katya and Dark Fantasy. Now on her own, she gets a golden opportunity and what would a win here mean for Kandis?”

Knots: “Everything, Regan is one of the best in the world, you can count her losses on one hand. Regan needs to watch the knee and the ass of Kandis, both dangerous weapons.”

Sharper: “Unfortunately you’re not lying. What does Kandis need to watch out for from Regan?”

Knots: “Uh…. Everything.”

Kandis continues to taunt the male fans before the referee looks over at her, she nods, then points to Regan and calls for the bell. She turns right into a fury of Regan Street rights and lefts, catching Kandis off-guard! Regan unloads on her, Kandis was not expecting this as Regan backs her up to the ropes. The referee tries to get in between them, Regan though pulls her out by the hair and whips her against the ropes, Kandis reverses, ducks and Regan comes back with a knee lift and then a huge clothesline. The crowd roar as Kandis tries to get back up but is met with the Haywire, the crowd Oh’s as the neckbreaker lands solid, Regan goes for the quick cover….

Kandis kicks out!

Regan grabs Kandis up, forearms a few times backing her up, she then whips her into the turnbuckle, charging in but Kandis quickly moves out of the way not knowing Regan put on the breaks, she goes behind Kandis and the crowd roars as The Hellcat muscles her into a German Suplex….

1!

2!

Kick Out By Kandis!

The larger Kandis rolls out of the ring to try and regroup, Regan instead runs in and baseball slides Kandis causing her to crash into the barricade. She holds her back as Regan grabs her by the hair, doesn’t even wait for the referee to start counting, rolling her in the ring, Regan hops on the apron, she waits patiently for Kandis to get up, as she gets on her feet Regan flies over the top rope into a sunset flip, Kandis hangs on before she hits the Bass Drop right on Regan’s chest, sitting on her for the cover….

Regan Kicks Out!

Sharper: “Regan took complete control of this match and in one move, Kandis knocked the wind out of her, now we need to see how the rookie responds and capitalizes on this.”

Knots: “She made a mistake and Kandis sat on her!”

Kandis stands up, she starts kicking Regan while she is down, running against the ropes and dropping a knee on the chest of Regan before driving her forearm into her face and going for the cover again…

1!

Regan kicks Out!

Kandis picks her up by the hair, Regan grits her teeth in pain, holding her chest. Kandis hooks her up for a suplex but Regan lands behind her, she runs against the ropes and turns around just in time to catch Regan in a vicious powerslam. Hooking the leg…

1!

Regan Kicks Out!

Kandis looks up at the referee and slaps her hands together for a faster count. She picks up Regan by the hair, whipping her against the ropes, grabbing Regan in a huge bear hug, the crowd roars as Regan grits in anger and pain, she tries to hold on, before slapping her arms on the ears of Kandis who stumbles back, Regan runs at her with a crooked lariat taking her down….

Sharper: “Shades of Rachel Tatum Lee! Regan found an opening and took advantage of it as Kandis tried to capitalize. Now the Hellcat needs to stay on the young woman who looks like she may have hurt Regan’s chest.”

Knots: “She is definitely hurt and Kandis took the wind out of her with those butt cheeks. And this is only the first match of the night.”

Sharper: “We have a bunch coming tonight including your wife versus Chris Cannon.”

Knots: “Don’t upset me this early on the show!


Regan holds her chest as Kandis gets up, she locks her into a front facelock and goes for a suplex but Kandis hodls her ground, she then goes for a suplex instead but Regan falls through ad lands behind her, running Kandis into the ropes but she hands on, Regan falls backwards, rolling over and as she gets up Kandis quickly kicks her in the stomach, Regan falls to her knees, Kandis then grabs her by the hair and strikes the Hellcat with Gratuitous, crumbling her to the ground as the fans boo. She quickly falls on the Hellcat for the cover….

1!

3… No!

Regan gets a shoulder up!

Kandis looks at the referee who holds up two fingers, she looks irate thinking she had the three. Mikaela looks on from the outside, slapping the mats for encouragement for her sister. Kandis picks Regan up by the hair, she forearms her a few times, Regan gritting her teeth, taking the punishment. Kandis whips her into the corner, she then backs up and runs at her attempting a Booty Call but Regan rolls out of the way. Kandis puts on the breaks, she turns and grabs Regan, picks her up for a Samoan drop but the Hellcat fights it by elbowing Kandis in the side of the head. She stumbles some before dropping Regan, she turns, and Regan connects with the Pink Slip, the crowd roars as the Hellcat doesn’t go for a cover, instead she takes a second to recover, holding her chest….

Sharper: “Big opening for Regan who has really been struggling since Kandis sat on her. The rookie has been really doing a good job of controlling the match since and was just millisecond away from being the new champion.”

Knots: “Kandis is showing that she deserved this shot, no doubt about that but now all she is doing is pissing off the one woman on the roster you don’t want to make angry!”

Regan slowly gets up, Kandis is on her knees, she tries to get up but Regan comes up from behind with a flipping cutter, the crowd roars as she goes for a pin…

1!

2!

Kandis Kicks Out!

Regan looks at Mikaela who continues to cheer on her sister, she climbs to the second rope, waiting for Kandis to get back on her feet, when she does Regan comes off with an elbow but Kandis catches her in a bear hug and flips her over in a Belly to Back suplex. The crowd ohs as Kandis steps back and starts slapping her but cheeks, then lowering her knee pad going for the StarMaker. Regan slowly gets to her feet…

Sharper: “Kandis looking for the upset here and becoming the Adrenaline Champion, StarMaker hits here and this is over.”

Knots: “Regan had talks bout how important this title is to her for many reasons including having it if or when Datura returns but Kandis has other ideas! Come on Regan!”

Mikaela yells at Regan who holds her chest, she turns around and Kandis goes for the knee strike but Regan quickly sidesteps and then Cat Paw’s Kandis on her butt cheeks, the superkick makes a cracking sound as Kandis lets out a yell, holding her ass, she turns around and Regan floors her with a  vicious right hook knocking Kandis to the mats as the crowd roars…

Knots: “That right hand connected! ApoCATlypse Meow, she calls it! Kandis maybe out!”

Sharper: “Kandis looks down! Regan has the chance now to finish this!”

Kandis is out of it, rolling over on her stomach, she tries to get up, Regan waits as Kandis gets to her feet, the Hellcat comes from behind to lock in the CATastrophe but Kandis pushes her off, she turns around and Kandis hits a Pele Kick, flooring Regan. The crowd looks on stunned as Kandis gets back up, she then climbs to the top rope, she looks at Regan who seems down, the kick hit hard. The wobbly Kandis goes for broke….

Sharper: “What is she doing!? She may have knocked Regan out with that kick!”

Knots: “She lands this, we might have to peel Regan off the mat!”

Mikaela looks on worried as Kandis leaps off the top rope in a moonsault but at the last second, Regan gets her knees up, Kandis lands hard, still on her feet holding her stomach as Regan gets up quickly and hits Kandis with a CATnap!

Sharper: “CATnap! Drove Kandis head into he mats!”

Knots: “Regan may have been playing a little there and lured Kandis in!”

Regan turns Kandis over, hooks the leg as the referee drops for the cover…

1!

3!

The bell rings, Regan slaps Kandis on the chest as she sits up in a show of respect. Mikaela claps as the crowd roars, the referee grabs the Adrenaline Title from the timekeeper and hands it to Regan who slowly stands up, holding her chest. “Who’s Next” plays throughout the arena, Mikaela rolls in and holds up her sisters’ arm in victory….

Sharper: “Just like that it is over. Kandis had some brilliant moments and she brought the fight to Regan Street. You even saw the slap on the chest after the pinfall, she did the same thing with Owen Cruze last year, it’s her way of saying, Kandis brought the fight.”

Knots: “Spunk may not have poured out of her ass tonight but she took the fight to Regan who was just a little too smart for Kandis and was looking for that one opening and when it came, she put Kandis down and this is the first match of the night.”

Sharper: “Big win for Regan and her quest to be Adrenaline Champion for many reasons, including Datura and a huge future for Kandis.”

Kandis starts to stir as Regan climbs to the second rope, holds up the title wincing a little with Mikaela clapping while the crowd roars….

EARLIER TODAY:

We see a shot of James Evans in his hotel room. Dean Black is there as is the SCW trainer and their sports psychologist. James Evans is seated at the desk in the room.

Sharper: “Later tonight, James Evans will team with Angelica Jones to defend their Tag Team Championship against Bree Lancaster and Andrew Raynes. There have been concerns that psychologically, James Evans may be faltering.”

Knots: “We remember what he was like years ago. Becoming, simply put, a monster. We saw some of that a couple of weeks ago.”

Sharper: “Earlier today, to ensure that James Evans is taking his medication, SCW officials have been overseeing it him this week and earlier today, you see him taking his medication.”

In front of James are a couple of pills. James looks around, almost mockingly getting their approval, before taking the pills and placing them in his mouth. He grabs a glass of water and takes a sip. He then turns and opens his mouth. The trainer nods. The Tabula Rasa logo comes up on the screen.

Aaron Blackbourne, Alexis Quinne, John Goddard & Peyton Rice vs. Katie Steward, Jordan Majors, Tommy Valentine & Alistaire Allocco

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

The spotlights shine forth from the stage, bathing the entire arena in blinding white lights corresponding with a verse of “Eyes Like Fire” by Collision of Innocence. A figure stands in front of the curtains, his arms are extended horizontally, and his legs spread. His back is turned to the audience. As the bright lights starts to dim, you can tell the man is wearing pure white tights. A blood red sleeveless coat stretching from his defined torso down to his equally bright white boots. Alistaire kicks out his leg to turn to face the crowd as the chorus of his theme kicks in. As soon as he does, Adam Allocco walks out from behind him, immediately cutting off the power of Alistaire’s entrance and starts to hype him up.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. The first team, first, accompanied by Adam Allocco, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

Alistaire looks a bit annoyed, before clearly recomposing himself. He begins to walk down the ramp with his dark eyes staring intently upon the ring before him. He marches down with purpose, ignoring the fans on either side of him as Adam continues to hype him up, even pointing to some crowd members, egging on their negative response. Alistaire stops at the bottom of the ramp for a moment, before launching forward, sliding into the ring. Once in the ring, he discards his coat by tossing it to the referee. He’s in the center of the ring, he’s hops up and down, switching his weight behind his feet as he stands. As the song begins to fade out, Alistaire stares at his goal. Adam Allocco applauds as he walks around the ring and goes over to announce position.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco the first out for his team. Eight person tag action about to take place here.”

Knots: “And looks like we’re going to get some help on this one. Good thing I like him more than his son.”

Adam Allocco walks over and extends his hand to Knots and ignores Sharper as he sits down as Alistaire looks at his father, shaking his head.

Adam: “Jonny! How is it? You still bagging some of the rats around here?”

Knots: “Uh well, I’m happily married.”

Adam: “The hell? To who?”

Knots: “Kennedy.”

Adam: “Street? Nice ass she has. But probably screams like a banshee.”

Knots: “Uh-“

Adam: “So that’s a yes. Don’t worry though. Will be covered up by the screams this crowd is going to have for my kid!”

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

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

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

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

The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp as he looks out into the audience. He smirks as he starts to slowly walk to the ring.

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

He ignores the crowd as he makes his way down to the ring and over to the ringside area. He then looks up at the ring and slides in. He then goes to run at the corner, before stopping and just backing up. The crowd boos a bit more as Tommy looks at them, smirking at them before the music fades out.

Sharper: “Tommy messing with these fans and his attitude has continued to just worse and worse.”

Adam: “He may be getting some ass…literally.”

Knots: “Taken a liking to Kandis. Didn’t help her earlier though.”

Sharper: “Can you focus on the ring, Adam?”

Adam: “I am? I’m offering colour. You know. Colour commentary.”

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

Phillips: “Next, from Los Angeles, California, accompanied by TJ Johnson, she is the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

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

Adam: “Hey! TJ’s alive!”

Sharper: “He is. Loyal to Katie to a fault and this is going to be interesting. Katie and Tommy were competitors last time we were on pay per view.”

Knots: “Yeah, but they all want the spotlight. Should be great here.”

The lights go down and flash purple as "7 Rings" by Arianna Grande starts to play. When the lyrics start, Jordan walks slowly out on the stage with a bedazzled trenchcoat dragging along the ground behind her as two bodyguards follow behind her.

Phillips: “And finally, from Chicago, Illinois, she is Jordan Majors!”

She smirks when the beat drops and starts to walk down the ramp ignoring anything the fans around her say. She stops down at the bottom of the ramp and puts her arms out as the bodyguards remove the coast and start back up the ramp. Jordan saunters around the ring to the steps and slowly makes her way up as the house lights come back on. She climbs under the ropes and steps up onto the turnbuckle and rubs her fingers together as she looks out at the crowd. She taps her chest as she yells that she gets what she wants.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors with her new attitude and this is what you mean about the spotlight.”

Knots: “Everyone here is going to want to lead their team. Everyone here has someone in their corner…well except Tommy.”

Adam: “Bring that Kandy girl or whats-her-ass.”

Sharper: “Her name is Kandis. Good lord Adam. The hell is wrong with you.”

Adam: “Nothing’s wrong with me. I’m just saying! I’ll keep her company!”

The eyes all focus on the stage as “A Stranger I Remain” hits over the P.A System. The lights begin to flash orange, red and black crowd starts to buzz and cheer. As the crowd looks on and the song kicks into gear, smoke fills up the stage. The lights continue to flash black and purple. From there, the crowd sees Alexis Quinne, standing with her head lowered, a black hat with an orange, red and black Poncho with gray and brown pants. Alexis lifts her her head up and we see she's wearing a black and orange Guy Fawkes mask with El Rudo's mask in her left hand. Quinne turns around and peers to the crowd. She then heads down to the ring.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, from San Francisco, California, she is Pint Sized Awesomeness, Alexis Quinne!”

Alexis walks down to the ring, her head lowered. She's looking around the ring. The camera does a full rotation as Quinne walks past it. Quinne stops mid-way. She hunches her back as she quickly walks down the ring. Eventually, Alexis jumps on the apron. Tommy steps forward before Jordan’s bodyguards do. Alexis just looks at them and jumps down to the floor, stepping back and looking in. She just nods as she starts to take off her entrance attire.

Sharper: “Looks like Jordan Majors’ muscle and Tommy are going to make sure the ring is theirs!”

Knots: “Asserting dominance from the start!”

Adam: “I like that. Maybe Alistaire should chat up Jordan. Or wait…”

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

Phillips: “Next, from Glendale, Arizona, she is Not Just a Pretty Face, Peyton Rice!”

With her gorgeous and contagious smile, Peyton starts to walk to the ring, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before walking over to Alexis Quinne and standing alongside her. The crowd roars as her music fades out.

Sharper: “Peyton Rice ready to fight and immediately standing next to Alexis Quinne.”

Knots: “Two people who have no problem scrapping. That’s for sure.”

Adam: “Uh-huh. Well I saw how Peyton was looking at my son. Told him to grab the bull by the horns. She’s cute. Let’s hope he gets a chance to speak with her tonight.”

Sharper: “In the match?”

Adam: “Sure! Why not?! They can bond over wrestling!” 

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

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

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

The crowd’s reaction is positive as he stands on the stage looking out from under his hat, he then removes the bandanna and cracks a smile before nodding and walking down to the ring with a confidence of one like himself. Fans reach out to touch him, but he pays them no mind if the manage to do just that. He then looks at Peyton who smiles at him. Alexis looks at him and the three turn to the ring as the crowd starts to cheer in anticipation.

Sharper: “Goddard a good friend of Peyton Rice-“

Adam: “He’s an asshole.”

Knots: “You’re just angry he told you off.”

Adam: “Well yeah! It’s not like he’s her father or anything!”

Sharper: “But now, time for the hometown man to make his arrival!”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does blue and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. When the lyrics kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations, which has excitement building among the Seattle fans. When the song hits the chorus, pyro suddenly goes off on the stage in sync with the creative soul himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into a deafening chorus of cheers. Blackbourne's normal attire has been altered for tonight for his return home: navy blue traditional tights that have the Seattle Mariners logo on the back and the Seattle Seahawks logo wrapping around the waist, navy blue knee pads, navy blue arm sleeves with numerous metallic silver lines criss-crossing them and navy blue wrestling boots with kick pads that bear the design of different shots of the Seattle skyline in a lighter blue color. He's also wearing an open custom Seattle Mariners baseball jersey with his last name and the number 42 on the back, which feels appropriate when he can't help but make the motion of swinging a bat, which causes the lights to start to come back on, albeit dimmed, in a motion from the stage through the rest of the arena.

Phillips: “And finally, from Seattle, Washington…”

The crowd roars.

Phillips: “Here is Aaron Blackbourne!”

Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, a huge grin on his fans at the hometown love as he happily accepting high fives from the fans. As he reaches ringside he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, and in tune with the chorus kicking in a second time he briefly crosses his arms across his chest before throwing them out in the same raised and outstretched pose as before, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him as he closes his eyes and basks in this moment, especially with his fellow Seattleites still cheering as loud as they can for his return home. Just then, as he stands on the middle rope, we see Jordan Majors has a microphone.

Jordan: “Hold up! Hold up! I have the microphone. I have the money. And really, it’s nice that you’re getting this hometown attention, but the attention should really be on me.”

The crowd boos as Aaron slowly steps down onto the apron and looks in as Alexis, Goddard and Peyton start to move to the ring.

Jordan: “Because as I said, I have the money…so I should have the attention and well…I took advantage of some advice and information from my new friends in the Beauty Factory…”

The crowd boos.

Knots: “She’s just fitting in with them.”

Adam: “I think I’d fit in wonderfully with them!”

Jordan: “And well, I figured I’d flash some money and make sure my return to pay per view with my new attitude and bigger wallet worked out, if you know what I mean.”

Just then, we see Dante McCaffery, Jack Parker and Savali walk out from the back.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors has hired the Network!”

Adam: “Gotta go!”

Adam gets up and throws his headset off as Jordan smiles and just then, we see Goddard turn and step forward as Alexis does too. Peyton happily turns to fight with them. We then see Dante, Savali and Parker head down the rampway. The crowd roars as Goddard meets Parker as Peyton ducks a shot from Savali. Dante and Alexis go at each other. Aaron turns to go and help them, but Tommy runs over and dropkicks him in the side. He falls over. The crowd ohs. Adam then runs over to Alistaire who looks around, completely stunned. He starts telling Jordan to stop but Jordan just puts her hand up, ignoring Alistaire as Katie just smiles, happy to allow others to do the dirty work. Jordan then drops down to the floor as her bodyguards join her. Adam tries to get Alistaire’s attention.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco is losing his mind.”

Knots: “This is against everything he believes in! God is looking down on him saddened!”

Sharper: “Network fighting Goddard, Peyton and Alexis! And Alexis is happy to get her hands on Dante!”

Knots: “And the irony – Jack Parker used to be called Tabula Rasa!”

Savali gets a shot in on Peyton and nails him in the ribs as Parker reaches up at the eyes of Goddard. Tommy turns and exits to the floor and runs over and clubs Alexis in the back. The crowd boos. He clubs her again as Dante stomps at Alexis. She rolls over toward the ring. Aaron crawls around as Jordan walks around with her guards. Adam keeps talking to Alistaire. Alistaire looks over as we see Peyton driven into the barricade.

Adam: “Come on! Help her! Be a knight in shining armour. Girls love that shit!”

Alistaire: “But dad-“

Adam: “Don’t but me. I got my fair share of tail. Go help her! You like her? Help her! You disagree with this! Help her!”

Alistaire sighs and then drops down to the floor. He goes around the ring and moves past Jordan and her guards as Savali turns and grabs Peyton before Alistaire walks over and steps between Savali and Peyton. Dante and Tommy grab Alexis as Parker attacks Goddard. Aaron slides inot the ring as Savali tries to get Alistaire out of the way, but he says no. He tells her to leave. Savali then headbutts Alistaire. He falls over as Jordan shakes her head. Katie then turns and sees Aaron and Katie lunges at him, but Aaron ducks a clothesline. He hits a European uppercut. The crowd roars as Aaron then turns and runs at the ropes and jumps over the top rope and twists in the air, so his back is to the pile, just falling down onto Goddard, Dante, Tommy, Parker, Savali and Alistaire. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “And Blackbourne getting the chance, the opening. He ran over and dove!”

Knots: “Now he’s stopping Alistaire from being the knight for Peyton!”

Sharper: “Taking everyone down. Everyone but Peyton and Alexis!”

Katie slowly stirs in the ring as Aaron slowly starts to get up as Jordan turns and hops onto the apron. Aaron turns and helps Peyton up and then Alexis before turning and sliding into the ring. Officials start to come out to get the Network gone as Aaron looks at Katie and then turns to the official. The official however goes to the floor as Aaron shrugs and turns to watch them before Katie runs over and Aaron turns and ducks a clothesline. Katie stops at the corner and Aaron kicks her in the ribs. He whips her across. She bounces off and Aaron hits a back elbow. He turns and Jordan runs over and clubs him in the back. The crowd boos. Katie rolls over and out of the ring. Jordan clubs Aaron again and again as we see Dante, Savali and Parker pulled out from the group by Dean Black and some of the SCW officials. Goddard moves toward Peyton and Alexis as Alistaire turns to Peyton. Adam just shakes his head as Peyton moves away as Goddard steps forward. Alistaire backs away and Tommy starts to walk around. The official enters the ring as Jordan clubs Aaron in the back again and again. She then hits a quick kick to the ribs and Aaron falls to the ropes. The referee finally calls for the bell to start the match.

Sharper: “Finally this starts as Jordan Majors attacking Aaron from behind. Officially getting a handle on this situation.”

Knots: “Not the homecoming Aaron wanted. He’s getting worked over by Jordan who may have a new attitude but can still throw a hell of a kick!”

Jordan then grabs Aaron and forearms him in the jaw before pulling him out and then rolling him up with a school boy.

Quinne then nails him with a forearm shot before jumping up and dropkicking Tommy back into a neutral corner.

Sharper: “And Quinne in as she hits a dropkick, one former champion knocking another one into the corner.”

Knots: “She’s like a mosquito. She’ll annoy you and chip away.”

Sharper: “And Tommy getting reminded by that.”

Alexis moves in and nails him with a forearm shot and another. She then grabs him by the head and goes to run out, but Tommy lifts her up and just throws her forward. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Quinne locks in the Lexy Stretchy Hold on Tommy! Middle of the ring!”

Knots: “Getting some good crank on that arm!”

Quinne keeps pulling back as Tommy yells out. However we then see Katie enter the ring and boots Quinne in the face with a superkick. The crowd ohs. Peyton enters the ring, but stops as Katie exits. The officials turns back as Quinne rolls over in pain. Alistaire reprimands Katie as Katie turns to him and just lets out a Goddess Scream in his face. Alistaire turns away. Adam turns away too.

Sharper: “That was Katie.”

Blackbourne rolls off and starts to get up. Jordan stirs and Blackbourne slides into the ring. She starts to get up and Blackbourne runs at her, but Jordan hits a straight kick to the chest. Blackbourne falls back and into the corner. Goddard tags himself in. Alistaire tags himself in as Jordan falls to him.

Alistaire: “Get him off! Rope break!”

Adam however jumps up and nails Goddard with a hard right as the official has his attention to the chaos that has spilled to the floor!

Sharper: “Adam Allocco with a cheap shot. I don’t think Alistaire saw it!”

Knots: “He didn’t even realize the referee wasn’t watching. He wanted a rope break!”

Goddard falls back and turns and Alistaire turns and the official turns back. Alistaire sees him, assuming it was a rope break and then kicks Goddard in the back of the leg before stepping back and hitting the Sins of the Father. The crowd ohs. Alistaire goes for the pin.

The crowd boos. The bell sounds and Aaron looks up from the floor. Peyton and Alexis stir as Katie and Tommy roll over and Jordan just smiles.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Jordan Majors, Tommy Valentine, Katie Steward and Alistaire Allocco!”

Alistaire rolls off and takes a moment before getting up. Adam Allocco applauds on the floor. Alistaire has his arm raised.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco has no clue that his father had a huge assist.”

Knots: “He’s going to think that this was all thanks to him!”

Sharper: “Undoubtedly, but Alistaire Allocco proud of himself and here comes his father. Didn’t have anything to do with him until a few weeks ago!”

Adam enters and walks over and hugs his son. Alistaire looks a bit confused before Adam raises his arm.

Adam: “Hey Sasha! Here’s your real future World Champion!”

Alistaire looks at Adam a bit unsure as he looks around. Peyton looks on to Goddard as Alexis and Aaron stand on the floor. The crowd boos before we cut away.

Backstage, we see Spirit Dansby standing outside of the locker room of Chris Cannon.

Spirit: “I am going to try and get a comment with Chris Cannon before his upcoming match with Kennedy Street, try and get some sense as to why he would not just apologize.”

Spirit knocks on the door. Spirit stands outside.

Spirit: “Chris. It’s Spirit Dansby with SCW.”

Spirit waits outside of the door and knocks again.

Spirit: “Chris?”

Spirit continues to knock.

Knots: “Maybe just like his class, he’s left too.”

Spirit looks around. She turns back.

Spirit: “I guess he’s decided to do something else. Uh…back to the ring, I guess.”

Spirit then looks around as we cut away.

Derek Adonis vs. Total Terror

Darkness. The Melodic voice of Ozzy Osbourne overtakes the crowd……….

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go to the top 
I'm as real as the world will make me
I don't wanna stop

Red and white pyrotechnics explode in the front of the ramp. A pot light at the top of the ramp bursts whiteness across the stage, illuminating Terror standing in the doorway. His head is lowered. More pyro explodes around him and he bursts to life, running down the ramp. As he reaches the ring, he slides under the bottom rope without stopping his run, and then jumps to a standing position, his head down, in the middle of the ring. It goes dark briefly, pyro explodes from the turnbuckle posts, and Terror raises one arm in the air with a closed fist. The lights come up, and he gently passes his jacket and sunglasses to the ring attendant.

Sharper: “Total Terror looking good, and ready for the challenges ahead.”

Knots: “I don’t know, is anyone ever really ready for Derek Adonis or Cookie?”

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

And there he is! Stepping out amidst spotlights of every colour of the rainbow alongside Cookie, the man’s outfit radiates light against a few blacklights slipped in, and he is completely oblivious to his detractors, basking in the glow of the spotlight as he begins his sensual stride towards the ring. 

If you’re so inclined, you should check out the lyrics to the song that Adonis is entering to, because they really paint their own tapestry almost as well as the man himself is able to, stopping at various points on his walk down towards the ring to hit on some of the more attractive females in the area – without caring about the potential of boyfriends, husbands or security. He’ll take their hand, whisper sweet nothings to them (and, if you’ve seen girls at shows put in this kind of embarrassing situation, these do the same as all of them – and just laugh) and plant his lips ever so gently upon said hand before moving farther down the ramp.

As the chorus comes around, Adonis steps up the ramp, taking each step with added emphasis. He gets onto the apron and after winking at a particularly friendly female (probably the most receptive to advances of earlier), pulls himself through the ropes. He gyrates just a little bit in the ring (it’s better than his twerking – trust me) as his music fades.

Terror watches with a frown, he isn’t sure what to make of Derek but wastes little time trying to find out. While Adonis waves to Cookie, she yells out to him as Terror runs across the ring and drives a leaping knee into his back. Derek flies into the corner and through the ropes to the floor outside. The SCW fans are mixed in their reactions but more so with boo’s which do little to phase Total Terror who exits the ring. Cookie rushes over to check on her kablamapotamus and stops to turn around where Terror stands over here looking down.

Knots: “Oh god, get out of there Cookie.”

Cookie frowns and begins poking him in the chest showing little concern for her own wellbeing, Total Terror laughs before pie facing her to the side where cookie falls into a barrier holding her back in pain. Derek sees this and being back on his feet runs at Total Terror and tackles him to the ground which gets a roar from the fans. Adonis mounts and starts to throw right hands screaming something along the lines “you don’t touch my cookie!”. Terror blocks what he can but manages to throw a thumb to the eye of Derek forcing him to step away holding his face. 

Knots: “That’s right you don’t touch his cookie. Never put your hand in the cookie jar.”

Sharper: “Derek showing a new side to him since Manvel man kicked Cookie In the face.”

Terror gets to his feet and motions for Derek to come at him, he runs towards only to get caught with a stiff right hand shot to the jaw. The referee demands it get brought back into the ring so he can start the match. Terror hits another shot before grabbing Derek and rolling him into the ring now. He looks back at Cookie who is still wincing a little but starting to get up. Terror rolls into the ring and back to his feet as Derek does the same now only to get taken off his feet again with a big boot to the side of the head. Adonis drops to the canvas as the bell official sounds off with Terror pinning him.

1… NO KICK OUT BY ADONIS!!

Derek kicks out of what would have been one of the quickest pin falls in SCW possibly. Terror looks at the referee to count faster but he just gets a confused look from the official who tells him the match literally just started. Terror brushes it off and gets to his feet first before putting the boot to Derek who rolls away towards the ropes. He starts to help himself up using the ropes with Terror smirking now. He runs at Derek looking for another boot, but Derek moves out of the way just about with Terror stopping himself just about. Total turns around only to get a shot from Derek and then another, Adonis Irish whips him across the ring and runs and leaps hitting a cross body on Total Terror before covering as Cookie is back on her feet cheering.

1… NO KICK OUT BY TOTAL TERROR!

Sharper: “Both men trying early falls, going to need something bigger than that to get a win though.”

Knots: “Terror looking the better out of the two though, could be his night.”

Derek rolls off Total Terror and hurries as he can to his feet. Terror stumbles up to his and runs at Derek who side steps and throw shim into the nearby corner. Total Terror winces holding his side before turning to see Derek having already waddled over to the opposite side of the ring and run towards him. He leaps up and connects with the KABLAM! Splash into the corner much to the chagrin of Total Terror who stumbles out of the corner now and collapses to the canvas. The SCW Fans roar, Cookie cheers some as does Derek. Cookie shouts at him to cover because he was lost in the moment which he finally does.

1…

2…

3!!!

The bell sounds and Derek rolls off Total Terror who continues to hold his ribs. Cookie rolls into the ring now and tackles Derek to the canvas and showers him with hugs and kisses in celebration. The two get to their feet with Cookie lifting Derek’s arm up high to another warm cheer from the SCW fans.

Sharper: “What a moment for Derek there, he looks like he is in better spirits now after this match.”

Knots: “A return to form if that is even possible for someone like Derek, but a great result for the man that brought us the Kablamasutra.”

The SCW cameras show one final shot of Derek and Cookie celebrating while Total Terror rolls out of the ring holding his ribs still with a scowl on his face.

Knots: “Doesn’t look like we could see the end of this between these two…”

Sharper: “You never know, he isn’t happy but then a lot of the talent aren’t happy tonight with so much going on in SCW lately and we’ll have another grudge match of sorts to come up shortly after this.

---

Backstage, we see Kennedy Street getting ready for her match, slowly lacing up her wrestling boots. The crowd cheers seeing her. The door opens and Kennedy looks up and then smiles. We see Trinity Street walking into the room as the crowd cheers.

Kennedy: “So they let you in.”

Trinity: “Didn’t even have to fight it. Let me right in. Good to know based on who is in charge.”

Kennedy: “Just remember.”

Trinity: “I know. I’m going to watch from the back, but remember love, with what he’s done, what he’s been doing, if he tries anything, I will be out there and he can deal with the consequences.”

Kennedy: “He’ll be dealing with the consequences regardless. I plan to make him come to terms with it myself, honey.”

The crowd roars.

Trinity: “Maybe if you kick him hard enough, he’ll snap out of this all.”

Kennedy: “I can only hope.”

Kennedy returns to lacing her boots as we cut away.

Konrad Raab vs. Glory Braddock

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck.

Sharper: “This is surprising. Konrad Raab coming out wearing no mask.”

Knots: “Someone stole his one mask apparently. Some were concerned he would show up as Black Ice tonight. Glory Braddock says she doesn’t care, but come on. We saw what he’s done in the past.”

Sharper: “The question is did Konrad intentionally avoid putting on the mask out of respect. I could see it.”

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

He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.

The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system...

Phillips: From London, England, she is The British Bombshell GLORY BRADDOCK!

Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp. The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring.  Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly...

Sharper: “Glory Braddock looks very confident.”

Knots: “She has a reputation of bringing down competitors twice her size.  Of course she’s confident.”

The bell rings and the match is under way.  Braddock and Raab start in a collar and elbow tie up.  Konrad uses his size to take immediate advantage with a side headlock.  He wrenches it in tight but Braddock manages to reverse into an arm bar.  Konrad reverses back into an arm bar of his own.  Glory with three elbow shots forces a break.  The British Bombshell rushes in and Konrad catches her with an arm drag into an arm bar.   Glory struggles in the hold but manages to counter into an arm bar of her own.  Konrad counters into a go behind and then a belly to back suplex.

Sharper: “Impressive chain wrestling from Konrad and Glory.”

Knots: “Raab got the better of that exchange.  Not often someone can to do that to someone the caliber of Glory Braddock.”

Sharper: “Both very experienced.”

Konrad with an Arm Trap Chickenwing German Suplex.  Glory pops back up quickly but right into boxing punches followed by a European uppercut.  Konrad rushes in but Glory gets her feet up.  She hops up onto the second rope and comes off but Konrad catches her with a spine buster.  Konrad drills her with a release German suplex.

Sharper: “Konrad now turning to a power based attack.”

Knots: “That has to be his best strategy.  Fighting a technical match against someone like Glory is probably a bad plan!”

Raad with The Icenator.  The cover…

1…

2…Kickout!

Sharper: “Two count only after a devastating Icenator.”

Konrad waits for Glory and then drills her with a spear.   He heads up top and attempts a moonsault but Glory gets her knees up at the last possible second.

Knots: “He shouldn’t have went up top.  Now he’s in trouble.”

Glory uses the ropes to pull herself up.  Konrad pushes himself up to his knees and then back to his feet.  He charges and attempts a clothesline but Glory counters with an arm bar takedown. Glory quickly transitions into a fujiwara arm bar.

Sharper: “Fujiwara arm bar from The British Bombshell.”

Knots: “This will severely hurt his power game if she can damage that arm.”

Konrad fights back to his feet.  Glory switches to a hammerlock.  Konrad breaks it with three elbow shots.  He takes off the ropes and comes back for a clothesline but Glory again counters, this time into a crippler crossface.  The same arm she worked on earlier is again being punished.  Konrad doesn’t submit.  Not yet.  He uses his strength to power his way back up.  Glory gets piggy back on Konrad, not relinquishing her grip on the arm.  Finally out of desperation Konrad backs into the corner, forcing a break.  Konrad steps back and charges back in with a big splash in the corner.  Konrad drops her with a ddt.

Sharper: “And Raab back in control! DDT!”

Knots: “When in doubt, drop someone on their head!”

As if he heard Knots, Konrad shakes off the cobwebs and goes for an attempted Icenator but his arm is in pain and he can’t keep her up.  Glory dropkicks the injured arm.  She dropkicks it again.  And a third time brings him to his knees.  Glory with a superkick to Konrad finally brings him down.  Braddock covers…

1…

2…Kickout!

Glory heads up top and comes off with a diving headbutt.  She waits as Konrad gets to his feet and then attempts Glorification but Konrad fights out of it and drops her with a spine buster.  Konrad locks in a sharpshooter.

Sharper: “Konrad with a submission of his own to Glory Braddock!”

Knots: “He may get Glory right here. Just sitting down right on her spine!”

The referee is there to check on Glory but she refuses to quit.  Konrad sits back on the hold to try and keep her in place but his strength isn’t what it used to be due to the hurt arm.  Glory manages to struggle and crawl, slowly but surely, towards the ropes.  Eventually she does reach the bottom rope, forcing a break.

Knots: “Had Konrad’s arm been at one hundred percent maybe he could have kept her from the ropes but that injury to the arm has severely hampered the strength advantage of Konrad Raab”

Konrad goes for The Ice Storm but Glory counters into Gloria In Excelsis Deo!

Sharper: “Out of nowhere!”

Braddock rolls over into the cover…

1…

2…

…3NO! Konrad kicks out!

Braddock goes for an Irish whip but Konrad reverses.  Konrad goes for a clothesline but Glory floats over and connects with a rolling triangle lancer.

Sharper: A triangle lancer.  And again she’s focusing on that same injured arm.

Knots: There won’t be much left of his arm if she keeps this up.

Glory sits back on the hold, wrenching in on the arm, but Konrad still has enough power to fight his way to the ropes, forcing a break.  Glory pulls Konrad up and goes for Beautiful Insanity but Konrad counters with a Northern Lights release suplex.  Konrad up, as is Glory.  Konrad with a clothesline, turning Braddock inside out, but it’s clear that he hurt his own arm in the process.  This allows Glory time to recover. When she does she turns around into a superkick attempt from Konrad but she catches the foot, spins him around, latches onto his arms, and drops him with Glorification.

Sharper: “Glorification!”

Knots: “That should do it right there!”

Before Glory can even consider making a cover, Damian Angel starts to make his way to the ring.  He waves the Black Ice mask around so that everyone can see it.

Sharper: “There’s the Black Ice mask!”

Knots: “What is he doing out here with that thing?”

Sharper: “Being Satan Himself and introducing temptation!”

Konrad, who doesn’t see Damian, rolls towards the ropes.  Damian reaches in the ring and places the black ice mask on Konrad.  Glory approaches Konrad and just now notices Damian at ringside. Konrad reaches up with his hand while Glory is distracted and grabs her by the throat.

Sharper: “Konrad has her by the throat.”

Knots: “I don’t think we’re dealing with Konrad right now. That’s Black Ice.”

Black Ice choke slams Glory. The referee approaches him and Black Ice decks the referee.  Black Ice pulls Glory back up and throws her to the outside next to Damian. Black Ice exits the ring and turns and decks Damian with a hard right hand, putting him down.  Damian just looks up at him with a smirk.

Sharper: “Konrad just nailed Damian! And look at that smirk!”

Knots: “Exactly what he probably wants, the sick bastard!”

The bell sounds, signaling the disqualification, but Black Ice doesn’t seem to care.  He pulls Glory up and drags her to the announce position.  He sets her up for a power bomb.

Sharper: “He’s going to power bomb her right here!”

Black Ice flips Glory up but once she’s in the air she counters it, locking him in a tight triangle choke.

Knots: “Thank God! I didn’t want to have to bail!”

Sharper: “Shekinah Glory! She’s got it locked in, right in front of us!”

Black Ice tries to stay upright but it’s clear that this choke is taking a lot out of him.  Eventually he drops to his knees.  He keeps struggling and fighting the hold but Glory just wrenches it in even tighter.  Finally Konrad goes down.  Glory wrenches it in even tighter.   Finally, after she can tell that he has passed out, she breaks the hold.

Sharper: “Shekinah Glory just choked out Black Ice!”

Knots: “Well she did say she would tap him out or choke out.  Guess she went with the second option.”

Sharper: “And probably stopped more carnage.”

Knots: “Someone get that mask off of him. Get him out of here. If not, I’m the hell out of here!”

Braddock looks at Konrad, out cold and still wearing the Black Ice mask.  Then she turns and looks at Damian Angel. Damian smirks as he starts to walk to the back. Officials run down to check on the referee and Konrad. Glory then turns and grabs the Black Ice mask from Konrad and pulls it off as she backs away. We cut to the back.

Backstage, we see Jessica Winters standing by with Sasha backstage outside of her office.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and I’m with our boss, Sasha, and Sasha, a lot has been on your plate some coming into power here, but tonight, your first pay per view and thus far, you have to think it’s been a success, if not a bit intriguing.”

Sasha: “That’s a good way to put it. Some things we’ll need to deal with in the future, but for now, a good success.”

Jessica: “But despite that, I would be remiss if I did not mention the story that’s been in the back of everyone’s mind for the last month , the situation with your father. You have some evidence, we’ve been patiently waiting for any news. Could we get an update?”

Sasha: “Despite the side issue with Laura Steinbeck and the Network, we do have some information and since Breakdown, we’ve managed to get the footage cleaned up further. The reason I’ve not responded or say anything publicly yet is simple. I wanted to speak to my father first. I wanted him to be a part of it. It affected him more than anything else and I can tell you that on the next edition of Breakdown, he has been cleared for travel, recovering enough from his concussion, that he will be present in Albuquerque and we are going to get to the bottom of it all.”

The crowd roars.

Jessica: “On the next Breakdown?”

Sasha: “Yes. He deserves to know and SCW’s roster does too.”

Jessica: “You heard it here first. Next Breakdown, we’ll get answers and Mr. D will be back. Huge news. Let’s go back to the ring.”

We cut back to ringside.

Sharper: “That is huge.”

Knots: “Mr. D will be back, and I just hope they have some idea of who it may be. Because the roster is waiting for this. I’ve heard people talk. People are wondering who could do it and let me tell you, whoever did it, you’re going to have a massive target on your back!”

Christy Matthews vs. Cassidy Carter

Street Fight

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans boo loudly as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose. Her fists are taped, and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairy-tale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

...E B D O N E N T E R T A I N M E N T P R E S E N T S...

...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...

As she begins to push her way down to ringside, and security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way, we see that she's joined by her manager, Christopher Richter. Christy ignores every one of them as she walks past them, focusing on the ring. She makes her way down to the barricade, leaping over and begins climbing the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope, pulling down the hood of her jacket and striking the mock-crucifix pose once more. As the second chorus of “King of the World” hits Christy sings along with the lyrics, continuing to strike the crucifix pose before finally leaping over the top rope and spinning around in the ring, throwing her ring jacket to the outside and collapsing to a seated position in the corner of the ring as the fans cheer. She sits in the corner, looking out at the fans occasionally as Richter collects her belongings from her corner and stands on the outside of the ring nearby.

Sharper: “Chris Richter is a mountain of a man, Christy Matthews is one of the very best. Cassidy will need to be on top of her game here tonight.”

Knots: “She does, but she has Ace with her and when he is out here anything can happen.”

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

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

Strobe lights begin flashing between different shades of blue, green and red in rapid succession as Cassidy Carter steps out to mixed reaction. She smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat as her one woman rave show continues. She throws one arm up over her chest while thrusting the other to the side before bowing smugly before the masses along with Ace who is gyrating his hips.

Love, gimme love, gimme love
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box
Put an X on the floor
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
Shut up and sing it with me

She makes her way down the ramp, now in full spirits, not really focusing on anything. Her arrogance and lack of real concern or worries showing in spades while Ace continues to dance alongside her. She reaches the apron before pulling herself up using the bottom rope for support. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over the top rope, landing inside the ring before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring, dancing a bit in a straight line to her own theme song. Her self-admiration and confidence continuing to be on full display for the world to grovel in. She raises her arms further up, now placing her hands on the back of her head before making her way to the corner. Stepping up onto the second rope she sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side. She appears to be becoming slightly impatient now in her comfortable spot waiting for this ordeal to begin and be over with.

Sharper: “Say what you want about Cassidy Carter, she knows how to show her opponenets how little she thinks of them.”

Knots: “That will anger Christy a lot, there was that one year where she went on a rampage because she was forgotten about at Rise to Greatness.”

The bell sounds an both Cassidy and Christy come out of their corners. They waste little time charging at the other and throwing lefts and rights which is what the SCW fans wanted to see from the get-go. Outside Ace is feigning winces at each shot Cassidy receives, while Richter on the other side of the ring watches on intently. Inside the ring, Cassidy delivers a European uppercut which catches Christy off guard. She hits another before spinning around and going for a discus clothesline only for Christy to duck under that allowing Cassidy to spin through which leads to Christy grabbing hold of her from behind and lifting Cassidy up in the air for a back body drop, but Carter rolls back and lands on her feet before pushing Christy away which gets a pop from the crowd.

Sharper: “Both women studied the other here, neither able to get an advantage.”

Knots: “I don’t think it matters once you hit someone with something other than a fist.”

Outside the ring, Ace applauds his wife while Richter yells support at Christy. She turns around and says something inaudible to the cameras before the two begin to circle each other this time. Christy lunges forward and the two grapples, but Matthews follows it up with a knee to the gut of Carter. She doubles over and Christy follows that up with a snap DDT into the canvas to boo’s from the crowd. Once again outside Ace feigns a wince from that impact. Matthews then rolls her over and covers.

1… KICK OUT BY CARTER!!

The crowd cheers a little for Carter which only annoys Matthews. Christy rolling on top of Carter with a mount and hammering away at Cassidy before grabbing her hair and beginning to slam the back of Cassidy’s head into the canvas over and over. The crowd begins to boo loudly at this but that swiftly changes with Ace leaping onto the apron, the reaction from the crowd capturing the attention of Christy who steps away and rushes towards Ace for a clothesline, only for him to drop to the floor. Richter had started to make his way around the ring only to stop after Christy missed.

Knots: “Say what you want about Ace, he wasn’t about to stand by and see his wife get assaulted like that. I know I won’t do the same if things don’t go well for Kennedy tonight.”

Sharper: “That’s assuming that Cannon is out to hurt her, all we know last time was an accident on Breakdown!”

Back in the ring Cassidy is getting to her feet only to get run at by Christy who drives a stiff boot into her side. Carter cries out in pain and immediately rolls to the outside of the ring to create some separation. The referee backing up as Christy looks back at Ace who is beginning to walk around the ring. Matthews slides out in front of him through and has other ideas, clearly no love lost between the two. On the other side Richter is seen walking around the ring towards Carter. The buzzing from the crowd as Christy tries to goad Ace some going as far as to push him away isn’t lost on the fans. Ace laughs though until he notices Richter who is about ready to charge at an unsuspecting Cassidy Carter.

Knots: “Cassidy look out!”

She begins to stir near the apron when Richter runs for a spear, but she steps back from the apron with a kendo stick in hand and cracks it across his face. The crowd roars as he stumbles back only to get another kendo shot to the ribs now, and then the back as he turns around in pain. Christy turns to run around but Ace mouths “oh yeah, this is a street fight” and pulls the hair of Christy and she falls to the matting. The SCW fans cheer again as Cassidy runs around now as Christy gets up and cracks the stick into her gut dropping Christy to her knees. She hits her again and again until the kendo stick snaps in half, Cassidy throwing it to the floor now.

Sharper: “The impact of those Kendo shots isn’t lost on anyone in attendance tonight.”

Knots: “hell they aren’t lost on Richter or Christy at this point either!”

Richter continues to hold his face while some fans mock him. Christy holds her stomach in pain while Ace applauds, even going as far to create some small talk with a fan. Christy winces as Cassidy pulls her to her feet and drags her towards the steel steps. Here Carter looks to slam Matthews face into the steel, but Christy blocks it as she slams both hands into the steps. Christy blocks another attempt and counters with and elbow to the gut of Cassidy, she hits another and then slams Cassidy’s face into the steps!

Sharper: Ouch! That impact in the steel, doesn’t matter how tough you are steel will always beat flesh and bones.”

Knots: “Morbid but so true!!”

Cassidy tried to move past Christy who now turns to look under the ring for something. She finds a trash can lid and shots at Carter who turns around right into the lid bending over her head!! The impact makes even Ace cringe and moths that is gonna cost me some shoes… Cassidy drops down to her knees now with Christy backing up while straightening out the trash can lid before running at her and slamming it one again into her face. The SCW crowd “ooohs” while Ace winces. Richter begins to make his way around the ring now as Christy lifts Cassidy up and rolls her into the ring. She leaps onto the apron, but ace grabs her leg and pulls out it out form under her to a roar from the crowd, Christy hitting the apron and falling on to the matting!

Sharper: “Ace interjecting there, Cassidy stirring in the ring.”

Knots: “But Richter isn’t a fan!”

Ace turns around only to get tackled and carried into the nearby barrier, with both men toppling over it for good measures. The SCW fans roar once again now with both men throwing lefts and rights with Ace getting the upper hand. Inside the ring we see Cassidy trying to get up, blood is showing on her face now while Christy gets up and rolls into the ring. Matthews is the first up and she runs across and stomps the back of the head of Cassidy, she stomps again and again before screaming at her. Christy paces back and forth waiting for Cassidy to get up, she motions for her to do so which the Queen of Debauchery begins to do. Christy runs the ropes and looks for a Bulldog, but Cassidy spins around and hits a Pele Kick to the face of Christy which get a roar form the crowd as she scurries along to cover.

1…

2…

NO KICK OUT BY CHRISTY!!

Sharper: “Oh wasn’t the three count she wanted, but it sent a message.”

Knots “It did, these two one a piece in cover attempts.”

Cassidy laughs as she rolls off Christy, back in the crowd Ace is now getting hammered away by Richter. Richter goes for a lariat, but Ace ducks under it while the referee begins looking to see just what the chaos is like out there. Inside the ring we see Cassidy getting to her feet and looks to try and end the match now. Cassidy is now the one stalking Christy who is rolling to her stomach and pushing off the canvas. Ace nails Richter with a hard right and then another before going for a third, but Richter grabs him and slams him against the ring. He then turns and throws him into the announce table. Ace turns and rakes his eyes as Cassidy grabs Christy as she gets up and throws her back with a reverse STO. She rolls through into the Faithbreaker. The crowd roars. Christy reaches out as Cassidy tries to squeeze more. As she does, the crowd roars as Alexander Crowe hops the barricade. Ace turns to see it, but as he does, we see Richter club him in the back and then turn and run him into the steel steps. Ace goes over as Crowe reaches under the ring and grabs an item by the ringpost. He rolls in. The official tries to stop him, but Crowe moves past him and nails Cassidy in the back of the head with tactical flashlight. Cassidy just drops down, letting go, and rolls over.

Sharper: “Alexander Crowe! From the crowd! Ace taken down and what the hell is that?”

Knots: “A flashlight. One of those tactical flashlights. Left under the ring!”

Sharper: “Planted there no doubt. And remember it was Christy who helped Syren win the World Title. I guess this is just another returning the favour! God damn it! Cassidy is out!”

Christy coughs as she rolls over. Crowe then grabs her and pulls her onto Cassidy.

The crowd boos. Christy rolls off as Richter rolls into the ring. He stretches out a bit and gets up.

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

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter had Christy Matthews dead to rights in the middle of the ring and thanks to Alexander Crowe, Christy Matthews gets the win.”

Knots: “Gotta love the value of ensuring loyalty!”

Ace rolls over and stirs on the floor as Crowe can be seen starting to walk to the back. Christy is helped up by Richter. The official checks on Cassidy. The crowd continues to boo as the scene remains playing in the ring. Richter raises Christy’s arm as she winces a bit and heads for the ropes. They exit to the floor as we cut away.

We cut to a shot of the outside of the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington. The crowd cheers seeing their home arena.

Sharper: “We are live in Seattle, Washington for Tabula Rasa!”

Knots: “Looking to have a clean slate after this one!”

Sharper: “We’ll see. A big night tonight. And one that for the most part has gone smoothly.”

Knots: “Thank God. Could be good to have some stability.”

The camera remains on the locator shot for a few moments longer before we cut back to the ring.

Truelove Twins vs. Red Empire vs. Marie Jones & Kimberly Williams

Number One Contendership to the SCW World Tag Team Championship

"You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake"

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen….

"Holding my breath, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold"

Phillips: ..."The Phoenix" Marie Jones and “The Wildcard” Kimberly Williams, TWIN MAGIC!

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket.  Kimberly comes out next, standing beside her, wearing almost identical looking clothes, just minus the leather jacket.  A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly mainly for Kim. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie and Kim begin to make their way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans mainly for Kim. As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience.  Kim just slides into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd.

Sharper: “A huge triple threat tag team match where we will see two sets of Twins and this could get confusing. Marie Jones and Kimberly Williams are both accomplished singles wrestlers but tonight they will try to earn a tag title match against the winner of Redemption and the Raynes and Bree duo. Marie and Kim look ready and how unpredictable is Kim?”

Knots: “She’s nuts. Kim is the wildcard of this match; you have no idea what she is going to do.”

“Scarlet” begins to play as the entire arena in engulfed in red lighting, feeling so much like a thick red veil has overtaken the arena that it's suffocating. Through the smoke that begins to cover the stage, Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant slowly saunter out onto the stage hand-in-hand and hips bumping as they walk, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by this sight.

Phillips: “The second team hails from Arizona, Ruby Amarant and Scarlet Grey, The Red Empire!”

Scarlet slowly turns to Ruby with a smirk and slowly starts running a hand up and down her body, trying to intentionally shift some of the focus over to her as Ruby just smiles back at her, and when Scarlet rises back to full height the two share a brief but passionate kiss before they begin heading down to the ring, Scarlet catching the lingering gaze of some of the fans and winking to them as Ruby just keeps her smile, pleased that Scarlet's enjoying herself. As they reach ringside Scarlet slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. She then spreads her legs as she leans back against the ropes and allows Ruby to slide into the ring between her legs. Ruby slowly twists around and rises as Scarlet approaches, taking Ruby's hands to run them up along her own body as well. This ends with the two of them locking lips again, one leg slowly rising from each of them before they separate. As the lights return to normal, Scarlet saunters over to try and start flirting with the referee as the look on Ruby's face changes, making it clear that at least she's flipped the switch and is ready for war, the two teams stare one another down, Kim points at the scream “Stabby! Stabby!”.

Sharper: “The Red Empire, if any team is the most diabolical of the three it is these two young women right here. They have shown what lengths they’d go to get what they want from Aaron Blackbourne to Chris Cannon, Peyton Rice and I could go on. They are dangerous and will do whatever it takes to win.”

Knots: “They have no scruples and sometimes you need that int his business. These two simply do not care and that’s why they can easily walk out the winner BUT they are facing two sets of Twins, going to be hard Sharper.”

“Just A Dream” by Nelly plays throughout the arena, a gold spotlight with blue flashers begin to circle the entranceway. The two beautiful Twins, London and Paris Truelove walk out holding hands…

They look at each other, kiss and pose for the cameras before Laura Steinbeck walks out and nods, leading the Twins toward the ring…..

Phillips: “The final team, hails from Johannesburg, South Africa, they are London and Paris, The Truelove Twins!”

The Twins then make their way down the aisle interacting with the fans as they both get to the apron at the same time, Paris & London both hold the ropes for Laura as she slowly gets in the ring, London follows showing off her “assets”…..

London then holds the ropes for Paris as she slowly gets in the ring shaking her “assets” and winking in the camera…..

They both walk to the turnbuckles, climb to the second ropes and pose for the flashes while Laura stands in the middle of the ring and points to the Truelove Twins…..

They get down, kiss the ring announcer on the cheeks and await the match to start as Laura makes her way to the corner.

Sharper: “For months the Trueloves have felt disrespected, Katya held them down, given them local talent on TV and never using them for anything more. This is a team that at Bound By Blood last year beat the Street Legacy, you were there, against all odds it was too much, at the End of the Year show, they lost to the Legacy and after that, it was local talent.”

Knots: “You know how I feel about the Beauty Factory right now, Sharper. All that aside, yes, the Truelove’s were given the shaft, Katya didn’t give them any opportunity, and this was a team that started the Elimination chamber and went all the way to the end. This is their time to put up or shut up.”


The Truelove Twins are settled in, in the corner. Ruby Amarant starts the match for Red Empire, Marie Jones for Twin Magic. The referee calls for the bell, Laura looks on from the outside. Mare and Rub tie up, Marie quickly grabs Ruby in a headlock, but she pushes off, running into he ropes and shoulder blocking Marie down. Marie gets to her feet quickly and locks up again, Ruby scoops her up for a slam but Marie follows through over her shoulder on lands behind her, she pushes Ruby into the ropes, stumbling into a backslide for the cover….

Ruby Kicks Out!

Marie turns and starts to nail Ruby with some forearms, whipping her into the turnbuckle, she then tags Kimberly, Monkey flipping Ruby out of the corner and Kim ring against the ropes and landing a cannonball. Kim goes for a cover as the referee is about to count, Ruby starts to scream as Kim is biting her, he quickly goes to try and break things up but Kim asks innocent like she did nothing. The Truelove’s look on as Kim grabs Ruby and grabs her neck for a chokeslam, Ruby then grabs Kim’s neck for a chokeslam, they stand there for a second trying to chokeslam each other before Kim kicks Ruby and chokeslams her hard on the mat, she drops for the cover…

Ruby Kicks Out!

Kim points at Marie, grabbing Ruby by the hair but Ruby pokes Kim in the eye and quickly tags in Scarlet who runs in and clips Kim in the back of the legs, she climbs on top of the unstable Twin and starts laying in some punches, but Kim is covering up….

Sharper: “Quick tags here between the Twin Magic and Red Empire, The Truelove’s have not had a chance to get in there yet.”

Knots: “I don’t think they really care, let the other two teams beat each other up while they stand there and watch.”

Scarlet picks up Kim and whips her into their corner, she walks over there but Kim starts going in a frenzy, she punches Ruby, then she punches Scarlet, then Ruby and then Scarlet before she dives and tags in Paris Truelove who stands there in a bit of shock. Kim yells at her…. Get her! Paris gets in the ring and stares Kim down before Scarlet comes in and tries to clothesline both Twins, they duck, then look at each other, shrug their shoulders, hold hands and clothesline Scarlet down instead as the crowd roars. Paris quickly runs against the ropes and hist a leg drop, then rolls over and drops an elbow before going for a pin…

1!

Scarlet pushes Off!

Paris grabs Scarlet by the hair, twirls it in her hands and flips her over, she then picks her back up and does it again with another snapmare, before she is in a seated position, running against the ropes with a basement dropkick, grabbing the leg of Scarlet and tagging in London who climbs to the second rope and drops a knee to the leg of Scarlet. The red head lets out a yell, holding her leg. London then grabs Scarlet, picks her up but Ruby out of nowhere comes in and bulldozes London over. She then pulls Scarlet to her corner and tags in herself. She grabs London and clubs her in the back a few times, she then scoops her up and slams her hard on the mat, bouncing off the ropes with a Forearm of her own. She grinds that forearm in London’s face, Paris breaks it up before the referee can administer the count.

Ruby then grabs London whips her into he turnbuckle and comes dashing in but Kim jumps in the way in front of London to protect her. Ruby stops, Marie looks at Kim a bit confused, she screams, “What are you doing?” As Kim was saving London, she then shrugs her shoulders as London looks at her funny, Kim stapes back and apologizes, Ruby staring her down doesn’t see London come off with an Enzinguiri that knocks Ruby down to her knees, London goes to tag Paris but Kim grabs her form behind and pushes her into the corner with Marie, who confusingly tags in. London just stares at Kim who claps and tells her to get back to her corner…

Sharper: “Kim is crazy.”

Knots: “She is but bless her heart, she is also entertaining.”

Sharper: “In a way this is smart strategy, she is keeping the other two teams guessing at what she will do next.”

London shaking her head rolls out of the ring and gets to her corner, Marie bounces off the ropes and hits a neckbreaker on Ruby, going for the cover…

Ruby Kicks Out!

Marie grabs her, she then locks in the Ava Maria but Scarlet quickly comes in and clotheslines her. Marie falls to the mats holding her chest, Ruby then instead of tagging Scarlet, tags in Paris instead to get a breather. Paris jumps in the ring, she grabs the legs of Marie and locks in a Texas Cloverleaf, turning her over and trying to get a submission win. Kim screams at her sister to tag, Paris continues to hold the move, suddenly the Red Empire both attack Paris causing her to break the hold, London jumps in and they start to brawl trying to separate the three, just then Kim switches with Marie. Paris gets up and grabs Kim’s legs now thinking it is Marie and trying to lock the hold again, but Kim catches her in a small package….

Paris Kicks Out!

Paris looks up shocked, she then grabs Kim still thinking it’s Marie but Kim starts to unload with a fury of rights and lefts, backing Paris up and catching her off guard. Kim then whips her into the turnbuckle ad tags in Maire, Kim holds Paris over her knee as Marie jumps off the second rope with an elbow. She tries to go for a cover…

Paris Kicks Out!

Marie quickly picks her back up, she forearms her a few times and Irish Whips her, Paris bounces back but London grabs her tights preventing from the bounce back. Marie then charges in and London pushes Paris out of the way causing Marie to fly through the ropes and on the outside. London quickly drops down, grabs Marie and throws her into the steel steps. Kim comes around and the Truelove’s are there to greet her, they both try to take advantage but Kim starts fighting them off with fisticuffs, the Red Empire then gets involves, Ruby starts to fight in the frey while Scarlet stays in the ring, she then runs against the ropes and dives over the top on all the other participants as the crowd roars…

Sharper: “Scarlet came out of nowhere and took out all the members of the team including her own partner! It is starting to break lose now between these three teams!”

Knots: “It is and here is where it’s most dangerous, all this chaos and one of these Twin Teams will do a switcharoo.”

Scarlet rolls back into the ring, Marie finally slides back in, Paris is about to go in but London quickly switches with her, so the referee didn’t catch it. Marie gets up, London crawls in, Marie picks her up thinking it is Paris and London quickly kicks her in the gut and plants a DDT on Marie, She turns her over and hooks the leg for the cover….

Paris breaks the Count!

Marie reaches over to make the tag on Kim, London tries for Paris, they both get to their corners and hit the hot tag! Kim and Paris come in, Kim a house of fire strikes Paris multiple times, then she strikes Ruby, then Scarlet, she even tries to wallop the referee but stops herself short. She turns and Paris hits a closed fist to the jaw stifling Kim a little, she becomes spaghetti legged. Paris runs against the ropes but is tagged by Scarlet. Paris stops and turns, yelling at Scarlet and not seeing Ruby ready to plant her with a huge Belly to belly. Paris rolls out of the ring…..

Sharper: “Now we are seeing the effects of a Triple threat and it is starting to break down. Blind tags, we have seen both sets of Twins switch, the Red Empire has been waiting patiently ready to pick their shots.”

Knots: “Here is where a team like the Twins can take advantage but Empire is well rested, they stood there and watched, waiting to pick their shot.”

Scarlet grabs Kim, she turns to Ruby who they lift up and Ruby hist the Aided Ruby Cutter. The crowd boos as Scarlet drops on Kim for the cover….

The referee counts….

Paris pulls the referee out of the ring! He stands there and argues with her as she smirks and holds her arms up innocently while Laura is helping London on the other side getting up to the corner.

Maire focuses on Scarlet, she picks her up but Scarlet is able to hit a Jawbreaker, Marie stumbles back to the ropes where London blindly tags her.

London drops down on Scarlet and hooks the leg as Paris protects the pin….

The bell sounds as Laura screams in excitement and joy. The Twins look at each other and hug, bouncing up and down as the referee raises their hands in victory….

Phillips: “The winners of the match and the NEW Number One Contenders for the SCW World Tag Team Championships…. The Truelove Twins!”

“Just A dream” plays throughout the arena as the crowd boo, the Twins quickly roll out of the ring and join Laura on the rampway, looking back at Marie leaning against the ropes holding her head, Kim comes around and checks on her while Ruby drags Scarlet out of the ring and helps her over the shoulder…

Sharper: “Huge win for the Truelove’s and many would say this was a long time coming but they still have to wrestle the winner of the tag team championship match. The Truelove’s stuck in there and many times, Twin Magic and the Red Empire were so close.”

Knots: “We knew this match was going to be crazy, it would be hard to control. The Truelove’s took the opening, they blind tagged and capitalized. Laura is happy right now, but we’ll see how happy she is at the end of the night.”

Laura is all smiles with the Twins as they slowly back up the ramp victorious.

Backstage, we see Abigail Lindsay backstage. She is seated on her motorcycle, looking around as Hana Ito heads over to her.

Hana: “Abigail, can I get a quick word?”

Abigail: “Why of course!”

Hana: “Well, you’re just hanging out back here. Should you not be getting ready for your match against Ravyn Taylor tonight?”

Abigail: “Are we sure she’s going to be here?”

Abigail pauses.

Abigail: “They love to play games. Maybe she felt this wasn’t worth it. She’s going to show up because she was booked? I doubt that. Now, she could still be here and maybe she could surprise me. Who knows? This is where this all gets very interesting and well, I want to see how interesting.”

Hana: “So you’re waiting for her here?”

Abigail: “No…I’m waiting to hear if she’s here. And if so, then I can make sure that no matter what, she’s going to be very interested in little old me.”

Abigail smiles as the camera focuses on her as we then cut back to the ring.

Brittany Lohan 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. The familiar chords of "The Fade to Black" crackles on the sound system as smoke begins to hover on the stage. A shadow stands behind a illuminated curtain, by this point the crowd already caught up in a frenzy. The song's interlude cuts shorts as the lyrics begin. 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. Boos starts to hail down on him, but there is some cheers beneath. Behind him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As she stops and positions herself behind Xander, some of her pale flesh is revealed to show the very scandalous outfit beneath. 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. 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 time keeper 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: “Xander Valentine made his thoughts about what stands before him tonight very clear on Breakdown. He’s not fond of the idea of being first in line for Brittany Lohan’s retirement tour, but he plans on making tonight a one and done for her.”

Knots: “Xander has made it his mission recently to remind all of SCW was he was once one of the single most dangerous entities in the entire company. To him, tonight is just about sending another message.”

"I Am Machine" by Three Days Grace blasts over the loudspeakers as the lights in the arena go out and the fans instantly start to cheer heavily when they recognize whose theme song it is. Just a spotlight focuses on the curtains of the entrances the clips once again fades away into the words that read: “Bleeding you is more than just torment.” The curtains slowly start to part as Brittany Lohan, slips through the curtain like a slithering snake. She looks like everything, but relaxed as her whole body is tensed looking like she’s ready to strike at the drop of a dime like a coiled cobra. Her icy eyes pan around the arena and the fans closest to the ramp and she can’t help but smirk at the reaction. However, the moment that her eyes catch the glimpse of the ring and the monster occupying it she shuts the fans out and turns all of her attention to the squared circle. With clenched fists, gritted teeth, and glaring icy eyes… Lohan starts to make her way down to the ring methodically. Lohan is taking slow, calculated, but powerful steps towards the ring. Her icy glare is so fixated on the ring that it would seem to appear that she doesn’t realize that the arena is nearly sold out. The way that she looks right now it might as well be empty for all she cares. As she nears the squared circle, Lohan slows down to a snail's pace before stopping and closing her eyes, taking everything in. When she’s satisfied she opens her eyes and reaches up to grab the bottom rope with her right hand and pulls herself up onto the apron only allowing one knee to touch before she rolls into the ring. With Lohan in the ring she gets on both of her knees, closing her eyes, as she lifts both of her arms up into the air. She holds that position for several seconds before she slows climbs up to her feet, but then as if a switch was flipped somewhere her entire presence changes. It intensifies as she starts to warm up by running off the ropes and doing some stretches. Lohan’s video finishes up with the words: “…Just stand there and stare as my world crumbles.”

Sharper: “For quite some time now, we’ve seen Brittany on Twitter slowly compiling a list from anyone interested that wanted either their one and only shot or one last crack at the War Machine before she calls it a career, and the biggest question of all she had was whether or not we’d even get this depending on who was in charge.”

Knots: “Sasha certainly had no problem giving Brittany her wish, but considering this endeavor is starting off against Xander Valentine of all people, you can’t help but wonder if she might’ve bitten off more than she can chew to kick this off.”

The bell rings and both competitors stare each other down as they slowly meet in the center of the ring, Lohan not backing down despite the clear size disadvantage she’s at. After a moment, the two of them lock up, but despite that size advantage in Xander’s favor neither one is able to make much headway and they end up separating with the advantage in no one’s favor, at least until Valentine drills Brittany in the face with a nasty elbow strike! Brittany hits the mat as Xander just glares down at her, silently questioning her on how wise it was to get in the ring with him. Lohan slowly rises to her feet, a smirk on her face that draws cheers from the crowd. This causes Valentine to throw another elbow strike, but Lohan ducks this one and bounces off the ropes before connecting with a discus clothesline that knocks Xander down! Brittany looks confident as the fans are roaring while Xander slowly gets back to his feet, looking more annoyed than anything else by this turn of events.

Sharper: “This has been dead even so far out of the gate, something I don’t think a lot of people really expected.”

Knots: “Brittany certainly seems more ready than I think anyone expected, but I doubt Xander’s going to be in a good mood about this.”

Xander glances over at Artemis as she silently watches before he and Brittany circle one another. They go to lock up again, but Xander does a go-behind and takes Lohan over with a big german suplex! The fans begin booing as he pulls her back to her feet before rocking her with jabs and uppercuts like a boxer, sending her stumbling back into the corner. He moves in, nailing her in the head with a few back elbows and driving his knee into her gut several times before he irish whips her across the ring. She hits the opposite corner hard and stumbles out right into a huge spear! Xander quickly goes for a cover.

Lohan kicks out!

Knots: “Xander’s definitely not playing around anymore.”

Sharper: “A vicious barrage followed by that devastating spear… he certainly wants to just get this night over with.”

Xander pulls Lohan to her feet and hits her with a few more jabs, backing her against the ropes. She manages to retaliate with a forearm that briefly stuns him, but a second one is blocked and sees him knee her in the gut again. He irish whips her and she rebounds right into a big boot that sends her back to the mat. Xander grabs her by the hair and glares down at her for a moment before grabbing her by the throat and slowly pulling her back to her feet, a chokeslam being his intent. Lohan grabs the arm he’s using, however, and manages to connect with a short-arm clothesline! Xander doesn’t fall, but he does let go and stagger back a bit, and this is when she follows up with a big headbutt that knocks him back against the ropes! Gritting her teeth as the fans cheer her on, she connects with a second headbutt that keeps Valentine rocked before irish whipping him, and on the rebound, she manages to take him down with a discus double axe handle!

Sharper: “Lohan fighting back, showing that grit and determination that’s made her such a dangerous competitor time and time again!”

Knots: “If she can keep Xander off his feet, she might kick off her retirement tour with a colossal victory!”

Xander starts trying to get back to his feet, but Lohan lands a knee drop to his head. She keeps dropping knees to try and keep him down before backing off just enough to let him start to get to a seated position, which is when she bounces off the ropes and smashes him in the face with a yakuza kick! She goes for the cover.

Valentine kicks out with authority! Brittany doesn’t look too fazed by this as she lifts him back to his feet and irish whips him into the corner. She follows in looking for a body splash, but as she leaps into the air Xander catches her in a bearhug! The cheers of the fans immediately fade as he walks towards the center of the ring, trying to squeeze the life out of Lohan. She manages to land a few clubbing blows across his shoulders, but he just applies more pressure. The referee checks with Brittany, but she refuses to start her tour off in defeat. As she growls out her refusal, Xander suddenly changes gears and hoists her up before driving her into the mat with a sit-out spinebuster! He holds the position for a pin.

Lohan gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Xander with a huge spinebuster, but Lohan won’t stay down!”

Knots: “This has been a fight, but how much of it does Brittany have left?”

Xander gets back to his feet, pulling Lohan up with him in a standing guillotine choke that he maintains to try and continue to wear her down. The referee checks but Lohan responds by landing a couple of shots to Valentine’s sides to try and loosen his grip. She does manage to slip free of the choke this way, but as she goes to run off the ropes for a counterattack Xander quickly grabs her leg to keep her from going very far before trying to pull her in for a leg capture suplex, but Brittany leaps up and headbutts him again to make him let go and back him into the corner, where she follows up with a clothesline! He falls to the mat and she looks down at him before walking across his stomach in disrespect, though to the delight of the fans, before running off the ropes and landing a big leg drop across his throat! She goes for a cover.

Xander kicks out! Starting to feel the momentum, Lohan pulls him to his feet, slamming an elbow or two across the back of his neck for good measure before she goes to irish whip him into the ropes. She starts to run off the adjacent ropes for the Pounce but puts on the brakes when Valentine hooks the top rope to stop himself. She charges in at him but he gets a boot up and the shot causes her to stumble back a bit. This allows him to charge forward and plant Lohan with a running DDT! He tries for another cover.

1!

2!

Lohan gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Lohan has thrown everything she’s got at Xander, and yet he keeps weathering the storm and turning it around on her.”

Knots: “How long until Xander says ‘enough is enough’ about that and decides to just go for the kill shot?”

Xander just shakes his head as he backs off just enough to let Lohan start to slowly get to her feet, measuring her. Once she’s upright, he bounces off the ropes and goes for a yakuza kick of his own, but Lohan avoids it and when he rebounds again she catches him and manages to plant him with a spinning spinebuster! She gets to her feet and looks out at the cheering fans before she drops an elbow across his chest, followed by a second and then a third before letting out a primal scream to the fans’ delight! She backs into a corner, measuring the Executioner, her gaze briefly turning towards Artemis who stares her down but doesn’t budge. As Xander gets back to his feet Lohan charges, looking to hit For Your Eyes Only, but Xander suddenly charges head-on and drills her first with the yakuza kick! Lohan hits the mat hard, and Xander gives her no chance to recover as he violently hauls her to her feet before driving her into the mat with the Martial Bane! He makes the cover.

The bell rings and "Fade to Black" hits again as Xander rises to a stand, glaring down at Lohan before dusting his hands off.

Sharper: “A hell of a fight from Lohan tonight, but Xander was too determined to get the job done in a fashion befitting of SCW's Executioner.”

Knots: “Not how Britt wanted to start this tour of hers off, but sometimes not even your best can stop a monster like Xander.”

Xander proceeds to exit the ring and head to the back as Artemis follows him while Lohan stirs and the referee checks with her.

Backstage, we see Laura and the Truelove Twins celebrating a bit as LEO stands with them. Bree Lancaster and Andrew Raynes then walk in. Bree steps forward and London and Paris turn.

London: “Well this may be awkward.”

Paris: “Hardly.”

Bree: “Exactly. When we take care James and his enabler, we can show the world what tag wrestling is all about.”

Andrew: “Just don’t get too scared by what I try to do to James if he decides to show it was all bullcrap with the pills.”

Paris: “Don’t worry. We’ll be focusing on something else. We have something to celebrate for once.”

Paris turns to LEO as London looks at her. LEO shrugs. Bree shakes her head.

Andrew: “Probably for the best.”

We then see Sienna Swann come over. The crowd boos.

Sienna: “Even with someone who doesn’t appreciate what we do. We’re going to dominate. And let’s just say…this has every piece to be the beginning of the beautiful next chapter.”

Sienna smiles as the crowd boos.

Bree: “Of course. Just have to take things into our own hands.”

More boos as we cut away.

Donovan Kayl vs. Kellen Jeffries

"Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

A modern day warrior

Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. As he stands atop the ramp, he throws his arm out with each big note of the beginning musical portion. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.

Though his mind is not for rent

Don't put him down as arrogant
He reserves the quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside.

The world is, the world is

Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd, until the next lines hit...

What you say about his company

Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby. He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head as the crowd showers the ring with streamers, cascading down around him as he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first…Toronto, Ontario, Canada…he is the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling…he is DONOVAN KAYL!!!”

The crowd erupts.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl, a man who has claimed to be working towards his final days as an active pro wrestler.”

Knots: “And now, he comes face to face with this man…”

"The Authority Song" by John Mellencamp hits the speakers and Kellen Jeffries comes out from the back and heads to the ring. Crowds are still very skeptical toward him as Kellen has been trying to make a switch in attitude, but it is hard when you have done as many awful as Kellen has through the years. Still Kellen understands the lukewarm crowds reception but steps into the ring, ready, willing, and able to fight.

Phillips: “And his opponent, residing in New York, New York…he is…KELLEN JEFFRIES!!!”

Sharper: “The crowd solidly behind Kayl, as they don’t seem very trusting of Kellen due to his extensive history of underhandedness among other things.”

Knots: “The big question will be whether or not he will resort to past tricks, or make good on his word of trying to do the right thing.”

The ref calls for the bell. Kayl steps out of the corner as he and Kellen begin circling one another for a few moments, before engaging in a tie-up. Kellen gains the advantage, backing Kayl into the ropes before the referee begins the count.

Ref: “1,2,3…”

Kellen breaks the hold and steps back into the center of the ring. Kayl steps to the center, and they go into another tie-up. Kellen transitions into a side headlock, but Kayl shoves him forward. Kellen hits the ropes and comes back, taking Kayl down with a shoulder tackle. Kellen runs to the ropes just as Kayl gets to his feet. Kellen comes back and Kayl leaps over Kellen. Kellen bounces off of the ropes, but Kayl takes him down with a snapmare take down.

Sharper: “Both men sort of feeling their opponent out, trying to gain some sort of advantage in the early goings on this match.”

Kayl gets to his feet, pressing down on the arm of Kellen, before driving both knees into Kellen’s back. Kayl then grabs Kellen off of the mat and hooks him before hitting a snap suplex.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl in firm control.”

Knots: “Kayl going for a cover now.”

Kellen kicks out.

Knots: “Pin attempt for two.”

Kellen rolls out of the ring, as Kayl gets to his feet. Kellen walks around the ring and Kayl leaps onto the top rope before diving onto Kellen with a crossbody.

Sharper: “The Cornerstone going airborne!”

Kayl gets to his feet before grabbing Kellen. Kayl whips Kellen into the barricade and charges, but Kellen gets out of the way as Kayl lands on the barricade ribs first. Kellen grabs Kayl, lifting him onto his shoulder and begins charging towards the ring post, with Kayl going head first.

Knots: “This doesn’t look good.”

Kellen stops just inches from the ring post before merely rolling Kayl into the ring, as he follows. Kellen goes for a pin.

Kayl kicks out.

Sharper: “Kellen Jeffries seemed like he was going to drive Kayl head first into the ring post, but then he stopped.”

Kellen grabs Kayl off of the mat and whips him into the corner, before following up with a running clothesline. Kayl buckles, before Kellen delivers a knife edge chop, followed by another, and another before Kellen delivers a right jab to the jaw. Kellen grabs Kayl before taking him down with a belly to back suplex and going for the pin.

Kayl kicks out. Kellen gets to his feet and begins stomping away at Kayl. The crowd begins booing slightly as Kellen lifts Kayl up, landing a few more punches before taking him down with a discus clothesline. Kellen goes for another cover.

Kayl kicks out once more. Kellen glares at the referee, who states it was a two count. Kellen shakes his head, looks down for a second before nodding to himself. Kellen gets to his feet and pulls Kayl up from the mat. Kellen whips him into the corner, following up with another running clothesline. Kayl buckles and Kellen hits a few punches and kicks to the ribs. Kellen drives his shoulder into Kayl’s ribs as well.

Sharper: “Kayl landed on the barricade ribs first and now Kellen is targeting those ribs.”

Kellen drives his shoulder into the ribs before lifting Kayl onto the top rope, and climbing up with him.

Knots: “Kellen may have some evil intentions here.”

Kellen begins to land punches to the head of Kayl.

Crowd: “1..2..3..4…5…”

Kellen then hooks Kayl before they fall back as Kellen hits a super plex. Kayl rolls around, holding his ribs, as Kellen writhes around for a few moments, before slowly pushing himself onto his hands and knees. Kellen then pulls himself over to Kayl and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Superplex off the top rope. Is it enough to put Kayl away?”

Kayl kicks out! The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Kayl is still in it!”

Knots: “You have to wonder how much that took out of both competitors.”

Kellen gets to his feet and pulls Kayl up. Kellen hits a few punches before kicking Kayl in the gut, going for the Game Misconduct but Kayl shoves him forward. Kellen collides with the referee who falls to the mat. Kayl grabs Kellen, going for a belly to back suplex but Kellen floats over. Kayl turns and Kellen takes him down with a running elbow.

Sharper: “Referee down! This will be a true test to Kellen’s character.”

Kellen rolls out of the ring and digs underneath before pulling out a steel chair.

Knots: “Well, I think we’re going to see his true colors.”

Kellen lifts the chair up high above his head as Kayl has his back turned. Kayl turns and faces Kellen. Kellen hesitates for a moment.

Sharper: “Is he going to hit him or no? Kellen seems to be torn.”

Kellen shakes his head and tosses the chair out of the ring. Kayl slowly nods as Kellen motions for him to bring it. The crowd cheers as the referee is shown pulling himself up, using the ropes. Kayl and Kellen step forward and begin exchanging punches. Kellen gains the upperhand, swinging and connecting faster than Kayl. Kellen kicks Kayl in the gut, going for the Game Misconduct once again, but Kayl shoves him forward. Kellen turns around, just as Kayl connects with a superkick. Kayl then grabs the stunned Kellen and lifts him up before tossing him forward. Kellen lands on his knees just as Kayl connects with a running knee. Kellen slumps to the mat as Kayl goes for the cover.

Knots: “Point Blank!”

The crowd erupts in cheers as “Tom Sawyer” hits the PA system once again. Kayl is helped to his feet and he salutes the crowd. Kayl then turns and looks down at Kellen, who is slowly coming to. They lock eyes as Kayl extends his hand. Kellen looks around at the crowd who begin cheering louder.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl extending the hand to Kellen Jeffries. What a show of respect.”

Knots: “Looks like Kayl’s bought in. He believes Kellen!”

Kellen pulls himself up, using the ropes, but Kayl keeps his hand extended. Kellen looks at the crowd once again before at the hand then at Kayl. Kellen grabs Kayl’s hand, before Kayl lifts Kellen’s hand up in the air. The crowd cheers even more.

Sharper: “What a display of respect from the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling.”

Jessica Winters stands next to Owen Cruze in front of his locker room. The crowd cheers seeing him.

Jessica: “I am here with Owen Cruze, the challenger tonight to Sienna Swann and the interim SCW World Championship.”

The crowd roars.

Jessica: “A lot of pressure I am sure is on you, but this is your biggest moment, coming right after you dropped Syren with the Cruze Stomp to win Sasha control of the company last month. How do you plan to walk out interim World Champion tonight and make history as the youngest champion in SCW history?”

Owen: “Well…keeping thoughts like that out of my mind to start. Sienna Swann didn’t waste long to start claiming a lot of things and yeah, she was our leader at Trios Tournament, but a lot has changed since then. I don’t need to rely on innuendo to get under her skin. I don’t even need to say a whole lot. I need to do one thing. Go to that ring and show that I’m ready for this. I don’t know if I am, but screw it, you only live once and if you told me a year ago, I would not only have determined the fate of the company but also been in line for a title shot, I’d have laughed in your face. Yet here we are. So if I have a chance to make history…”

Owen shrugs and smirks.

Owen: “I’m going to take my best shot! And it may be a beauty!”

Owen smirks.

Jessica: “Good luck tonight, Owen. Back to ringside.”

We cut away to the ring.

Abigail Lindsay vs. Ravyn Taylor

Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word “NEVERMORE”. With that we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes.

“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”

The song gets stuck on the word and is then interrupted by the deep sound of the voice of Marilyn Manson.

“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face.

Sharper: “She is here!””

Knots: “Guess that Abigail Lindsay got her attention or she decided she wanted some fun of her own!”

She’s dressed in ring gear that includes her normal ring jacket covering a small, revealing bra top and a pair of skin tight hot-pants with the words “BAD GIRL” across the back. She stops on the stage, twirling for the camera almost mockingly.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, representing Dark Fantasy, from Hell, Michigan, she is the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments she starts to make her way down to ringside and then steps up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the apron before vaulting over the top turnbuckle and rolling back to her feet. She walks over to the far corner of the ring, stepping on to the middle turnbuckle and removes her ring jacket, looking down at herself with a look of admiration before stepping off the turnbuckle again. She folds the jacket up and places it in the corner before dropping to a seated position, looking up at the referee and shaking her head as he tries to tell her to get to her feet so he can pat her down. Instead she just ushers him away with her hand, continuing to sit in the corner. She then ushers Jason Phillips to come over. Phillips walks over.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor just leaning back and waiting, but Jason Phillips now being ushered over.”

Knots: “Run, Jason. Run!”

Ravyn takes the microphone from him. The crowd boos as Ravyn looks around.

Ravyn: “On a night where I figured it best to negotiate the position of myself and Dark Fantasy in this company, I figured I would at least entertain whatever folly Abigail Lindsay is engaged in. For a very brief, fleeting moment, you have my attention, Ms. Lindsay. But I stress fleeting!”

Ravyn tosses the microphone to Phillips who juggles it a moment. Ravyn remains on the top turnbuckle and Phillips turns back to the entrance way. The chorus of "Wreak Havoc" by Skylar Grey begins the play. The crowd cheers as the spotlights circle the arena. Ravyn looks at the entrance way.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Los Angeles, California, she is Abigail Lindsay!”

The music continues to play and Ravyn hops down from the turnbuckle. She then walks forward. She can be seen saying something.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor hopping down. She’s not exactly thrilled for some reason.”

Knots: “Good!”

Sharper: “Did you hear a motorcycle?”

Knots: “No…”

Sharper: “I think Ravyn noticed that too.”

Ravyn looks around as the music continues to play.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Los Angeles, California, she is Abigail Lindsay!”

Ravyn just scoffs before walking over to the official. Jason Phillips looks around, as does the official. “Wreak Havoc” plays throughout the arena as the crowd starts to buzz. Some start to boo.

Sharper: “I don’t like this. Abigail Lindsay seemingly is not coming out.”

Knots: “How much do you want to bet that either Dark Fantasy or maybe it was Autumn or Red Empire, they got at her!”

Sharper: “If Dean Black or anyone can hear us, search for Abigail Lindsay. We know Dark Fantasy would not be above any of this.”

Ravyn just shakes her head as the music fades out again. The official walks over to Phillips and says something to him. He then turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds. The official starts to count.

1!

2!

3!

4!

5!

6!

The boos continue as Ravyn just rolls her eyes, almost annoyed. (7)

8!

9!

10!

The crowd boos as Ravyn just shakes her head and the bell sounds. The referee walks over and raises her arm. She pulls away.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via countout, Ravyn Taylor!”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “And Ravyn acting like she’s done nothing. I don’t buy that one bit!”

Ravyn turns to Phillips and asks for the microphone. He obliges.

Ravyn: “Abigail….you just wasted your shot. Bored now…”

Just then, on the big screen we see a shot of Abigail Lindsay in what appears to be a hallway of a hotel. She just looks up, putting her phone away.

Abigail: “Good, we’re in? We’re live?”

Abigail smiles as she gets something from the other side of the camera to confirm her suspicion. Abigail then starts to speak, although in a bit of a whisper.

Abigail: “Great. So it seems that you just won Ravyn, but let’s be clear here, tonight…you didn’t care about this. You said something about how this was my one chance. That’s the problem…I’m not looking for a chance. I want the whole thing and I want to really see what you’re made of. I’ve been waiting for this for years! I’m not looking for a five minute trial run, Ravyn. You know that….”

Abigail smirks.

Abigail: “And that’s why I’m here.”

Abigail turns and reaches behind the camera and pulls someone into the view. It’s a hotel staff member.

Abigail: “Now, you know what you need to do.”

The man nods.

Abigail: “Great. Give me five minutes and you can run and get your security up here.”

Abigail then wraps her arm around the staff member and moves him toward the door. She nods. The member knocks as Ravyn Taylor smirks, almost knowing what is about to happen.

Staff member: “Room service!”

Muffled voice: “We didn’t order anything.”

Staff member: “Courtesy of Alexis Taylor.”

Ravyn scoffs as footsteps are heard as we see Abigail Lindsay moving over behind the camera for a moment before grabbing something. The door opens.

CHBK: “Listen, leave us alone-“

Just then, Abigail turns and nails CHBK in the head with a silver platter. CHBK falls over and down to the floor. Abigail pulls the staff member out of the way and then moves in. Syren looks at her.

Syren: “Hey! Security! Help! I’m injured!”

Abigail: “Let’s test that theory!”

Abigail then moves in as the cameraman starts to step back.

Abigail: “Come on in, cameraboy! You’re complicit in this too, right Gord!”

Syren then runs over and clubs Abigail in the back and then again before Abigail grabs the neck brace and pulls. Syren yells out and Syren goes into the wall. She falls back and Abigail pulls the neck brace off, ripping it right from her neck. Syren looks around before moving back, holding her neck.

Syren: “I’m hurt! Come on! Don’t you believe in honour or something…Alex!”

Abigail: “You’re confusing me with my sister Dawn. I don’t care!”

Ravyn now looks less than pleased in the ring. Syren then grits her teeth, seeing the camera. CHBK starts to get up and Abigail turns and runs over and kicks him in the ribs. Syren then runs over and clubs her in the back again. She grabs her and turns and throws her into the television in the room. It falls over and Abigail falls back. Syren then turns and starts to leave the room, holding her neck, but Abigail pulls herself up and urns over and grabs Syren by the hair. The crowd roars. Ravyn starts to exit the ring and heads to the back. She walks calmly along the side of the rampway and around the floor to the back as we cut back to see Abigail jerking Syren by her hair and violently over into the couch. Syren rolls through over. She starts to get up.

Abigail: “Hmmm…some neck injury. We can test it out though.”

Syren gets up and lunges only for Syren to grab her and pull her back and DDT her into the floor. The crowd roars as Syren rolls over. Abigail gets up and CHBK swings the silver platter at her head, but Abigail ducks. She then jogs out of the room before slamming the door.

Abigail: “Have fun Gord!”

The cameraman turns and CHBK grabs the camera and pulls it down. The seat abruptly cuts as we cut to a live shot inside the arena.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay foregoing her match with Ravyn to expose Syren!”

Knots: “She looked damn good for someone with an alleged neck injury!”

Sharper: “Throwing doubt on that, something that seems to be a ruse and Ravyn Taylor left here, none too pleased!”

Knots: “I think I just became a huge Abigail Lindsay fan!”

Sharper: “And if she didn’t have Ravyn’s attention before, she damn sure does now!”

The crowd continues to roar before we cut back to the ring.

Kennedy Street vs. Chris Cannon

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then turns and starts to slowly walk to the ring. A shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers, but Kennedy focuses on the ring and battle she will have with a former ally.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Beverly Hills, California, she is the Sexy, Flawless Diva, Kennedy Street!”

She makes her way to the ring before reaching the apron. She then pulls herself onto the apron, avoiding doing her usual entrance. Instead, she steps into the ring. She slides off her robe and throws it to the side. She then starts to pace the ring. She takes a moment, running into the ring ropes, bouncing off and stopping before stepping back and looking at the entrance way.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street as focused as we’ve seen. Not playing to the crowd. No flirtatious charm. Jon, you know her better than anyone.”

Knots: “Tonight, it’s about getting the respect she shouldn’t have to draw from the stone that is Chris Cannon. All Chris needed to do was apologize. Instead, he didn’t. He just walked off. I think he intentionally cost her the World Championship.”

Sharper: “Hard to see otherwise for that reason. All Chris needed to do is apologize. The irony is that months ago Chris and Kennedy had agreed to a rematch thanks to Chris taking Kennedy out with the C4 in January. We found out that Chris isn’t a fan about that now!”

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 that sounds a lot like Kelcey Wallace over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

The opening guitar to “Prometheus” by Audio Machine hits 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, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him.

Phillips: “Her opponent, hailing from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, California, he is Chris Cannon!”

The crowd has a negative reaction for the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. Cannon stops and turns to look at one fan that is extending a hand which he would slap normally but doesn't as he continues down to the ring. Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon then slides into the ring and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and then raises his arm above his head holding a fist as the crowd’s negative reaction continues. He hops down as he turns.

Sharper: “Chris Cannon still showing that attitude. What the hell has come over him? Since Retribution!”

Knots: “I just hope…I pray he doesn’t see Kennedy like he did Blake Mason or Ikiro Yoshida. I’m worried, Sharper.”

Chris walks towards Kennedy and Kennedy just looks at him before the bell sounds and we then see Kennedy lunge and drill Chris with a hard forearm. The crowd roars. Kennedy nails him with another and then a third. Chris falls into the ropes. Kennedy kicks him in the ribs and then again and again and again.

Kennedy gets up and lunges and Chris knees her in the ribs. He then pushes her out, but holds on and pulls her into a knee to her ribs. She rolls through, coughing. She slowly rolls over as Chris turns and grabs Kennedy and drags her up. He then hooks her up and hits a snap suplex. Kennedy winces and rolls over. Chris rolls over and looks at her before placing his foot on the face of Kennedy and raking it down the top of her head. The crowd boos as Kennedy rolls over to the ropes.

Bree Lancaster & Andrew Raynes vs. Redemption

SCW World Tag Team Championship

Steel Cage Match

The scene cuts to the ring where the steel cage has been placed around it. The cameras pan around it, showing the fencing.

Sharper: “A lot to consider in this one. World Tag Team Championship about to be on the line.”

Knots: “The cage is here to protect the fans. Last time these two teams met, they brawled into the crowd and took out a row of seats!”

Sharper: “But by teams we should stress James Evans and Andrew Raynes. Raynes has always proven there’s no fight he’d turn down, but James Evans is the wildcard. We saw earlier tonight, that footage, of him taking his medication. A lot of concern that one of the terms of his employment, his return, could be being breached. All this after James Evans was more aggressive in their previous title defense.”

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes appear through the smoke, his head shifted towards the ring, focused, a cold stare. He stands there for a few seconds still looking around, devoid of the fans.  He starts walking slowly with a cold stare in his eyes. 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit, and is a cage match for the SCW World Tag Team Championship. First, the challengers. From Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, he is Andrew Raynes!” 

As he continues to look focused, he makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the fans. He walks down towards the ring and looks at the cage with a smirk. He then walks up the steel steps and into it. He steps in and walks around as he rubs his hands. He continues to smile as his music fades out.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes looks ready for this. Bree tried to get the match changed, citing James’ violent tendencies two weeks ago.”

Knots: “Has she met her tag partner?!”

Sharper: “That’s the thing though. James Evans has a history of going over the top. Andrew has too, but nothing like James.”

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

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

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

Phillips: “His partner, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside, she is Bree Lancaster!”

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the cage. She stops at the steps before going up. Bree follows into the cage and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. In the ring Bree holds the belt overhead. She then hands it back to Scott and pulls on the silver belt holding her robe closed. The robe opens, revealing her black shimmery gear. Bree pulls the robe off and tosses it aside, where it lands over the top rope. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. Scott I grabs it and quickly exits the cage. Bree and Andrew start to talk.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster not showing that same concern. Then again, she just wants to win gold tonight!”

Knots: “That’s all that matters at the end for her. She wants SCW gold. She wants to walk out the champs.”

“Alive” by POD blares through the sound system, as the crowd begins to cheer. The cameras peer behind the curtain as James Evans and Angelica Jones make their way towards the entrance stage. Stepping from behind the curtain, James looks down at the ring as Angelica looks at him. She says something to him but James just nods and starts to head down. He takes the World Tag Team Championship off from his waist and starts to carry it down. Angelica follows, taking off her title too.

Phillips: “And their opponents, they are the reigning and defending SCW World Tag Team Champions, they are James Evans and Angelica Jones, Redemption!”

They walk down to the ring and James goes right for the door. Angelica stops him. James turns and says something calmly to her. Angelica then lets go as James throws the belt down and then enters the cage. He steps in and Angelica throws her belt down. James is quickly grabbed by Andrew who nails him with a hard right and then another. James falls back into the corner. Angelica goes to enter, but Bree runs over, past the official and dropkicks her. She falls out and down to the floor. Bree pulls the door closed. James nails Andrew with a shot before Bree runs over and kicks him in the ribs. He covers up as Bree kicks him in the ribs again and again before Andrew comes over and the two stomp away on James.

Sharper: “Not even letting Angelica get in the ring!”

Knots: “She’s not entered so this hasn’t started yet!”

Sharper: “They’re trying to work over James before Angelica can get back in.”

Angelica stirs on the floor as James gets to a seated position. Andrew tells Bree to get back and Andrew nails James with a hard right and another and another before he starts to choke him in the corner with his boot. Angelica pulls the door open and crawls in. Bree heads over as the bell sounds. The crowd roars. The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen and to the bottom corner. Bree clubs Angelica in the back and then again before going to run her across. Angelica spins through and sends her in. The crowd cheers as Angelica kicks her in the ribs and then again and again. Andrew steps off of James and heads over to Angelica and pulls her out of the corner. Angelica rolls through. She gets up and Andrew kicks her in the ribs. He hoists her up for a suplex, but Angelica knees him in the face. He steps back and Angelica jumps up and hits a dropkick. He falls back and into a Bree .Angelica moves back to the opposite corner. She then turns and runs across. Andrew moves out of the way as Angelica nails Bree with a hard leg lariat. She drops down and Angelica rolls through.

Sharper: “Angelica in and running like a house on fire!”

Knots: “She’s incensed. Maybe unleashing the Dragon!”

Sharper: “Watch Andrew though!”

Angelica gets up and Andrew knees her in the ribs and then again before spinning her around and trying to send her into the cage. Angelica blocks it and kicks Andrew in the knee. He falls to a knee and Angelica jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a kick. Andrew falls back. Angelica goes for the pin.

Giovanni Aries vs. Selena Frost

SCW United States Championship

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez begins to play as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of stage. He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before Sam walks over and pulls out a cigarette and lighter out of her cleavage and hands it to Giovanni Aries. He lights the cigarette and takes a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit, and is for the SCW United States Championship!”

While walking to the ring he takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Giovanni Aries reaches ring side and looks out to the crowd and yells

"FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!!!"

He laughs hysterically before walking up the steps to the ring apron. He faces the crowd and hard camera as he throws his arms out making a cross while looking to the sky and slowly moves his left hand to his mouth takes a drag of his cigarette and blowing smoke into the air before flipping backwards into the ring where Sam is waiting. She takes off Giovanni fur jacket as Giovanni Aries grabs her and pulls her tight and proceeds to take another drag before blowing it into her waiting open mouth. Sam smiles as she exits the ring while Giovanni takes a seat on the nearby top turnbuckle and waits for the match to start.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries has become more and more unhinged, more forceful, and more scheming.”

Knots: “As Konrad Raab what they think of Giovanni, or James Evans, or Owen Cruze, or Selena Frost.”

Sharper: “Selena Frost to defend the title and Giovanni Aries has continued to call her a general for the Lizard King. Nothing has changed for him since Apocalypse and remember how that ended, with Giovanni Aries diving off a scaffold, trying to end the career of Selena Frost!”

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "The Truth About Our Time" by Allen/Lande brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost. She holds the SCW United States Championship over her shoulder. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that as the lights bounce off the ice-shard cape she wears. 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Nome, Alaska, she is the reigning and defending SCW United States Champion, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to Giovanni who just smirks at her. She slides the SCW US Championship down and holds it over her head before stepping forward, handing it to the official. He steps back and holds the title over his head as the SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Selena Frost, the proud champion, and ready to compete.”

Knots: “Not even waiting. Handing the title over and ready to defend. Something that’s been typical of things since Retribution. Champions happy to defend.”

Sharper: “And despite how much hatred Giovanni has engendered, there is respect for what he can do in that ring…what is he doing?”

SCW World Championship

"It's Showtime!"

He brings his arms out to his side, nodding his head. His arms shaking he brings them in, crossing them across his chest.

"It's Showtime!"

He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking to the ring. He runs up the ring steps and across the apron, turning to face the fans whilst he holds the rope, punching out with the other hand. He enters the ring and immediately climbs up to the top turnbuckle and applauds the fans, which gets another huge reaction from them. He somersaults backwards, landing on his feet and bounces off the ropes, the smile still evident on his face.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze has the chance to make history tonight at Tabula Rasa.”

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Sienna Swann walks out with her head down as the crowd boos loudly.Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear along with the SCW World Championship around her waist.

She looks at Owen, taking off her interim World Championship and holding it up. She then steps forward and hands it to senior official, Aaron Demitra. He takes the title and holds it over his head. Sienna and Owen continue to look at one another as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades in the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann the proud interim World Champion. She says she should just be champion. But regardless, she is looking to defend it tonight. She claims she would never have lost to Syren. She can prove it.”

Knots: “For the people, or whatever crap she wants to pull. Let’s see what she does without Chris Cannon handing her the title!”

Demitra hands the title off. The crowd roars as he steps back and looks at Owen and then looks at Sienna. Both nod and Demitra calls for the bell. The crowd roars as the bell sounds.
