Backstage, the scene opens up to see Jaina Lancaster with Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews outside of the Infamous locker room.
Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jaina Lancaster here with the team of Infamous, Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews. Ladies, we just saw the number one contenders to your World Tag Team Championship belts get attacked by Giovanni Aries and the Wonderland. Syren and Infamous has had some issues with Giovanni. Does this change the direction this match was going to go? I mean, some have noted similarities between Valeria Garcia and you, Ravyn.”
Christy: “Ah, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Ravyn: “Interesting and intriguing possibility. Then again, I suppose we did prove helpful when Alexander launched Valeria and Paris Truelove off the stage, injuring the latter. I suppose the former was just there for illusions.”
Jaina: “Clearly I’m referring to matters tonight which may change things.”
Ravyn: “How sweet.”
Christy: “What Ravyn is trying to say is that we have no plans to suddenly turn to the Cat Bandits because of some odd allegiance against Giovanni. Would you ask the same question with James? Of course not.”
Jaina: “And yet, this issue with the Bandidas is not personal so much. Instead, it surrounds the World Tag Team Champions. And Ravyn have proven in the past she is willing to use any advantage…you being such on, Christy.”
Christy: “Get this…I am more than just a tool. Our relationship was of mutual benefit!”
Ravyn: “As for the Bandidas, there’s no benefit. I don’t need a second one of me around and frankly, they’re welcome to aim for revenge. We’re looking to hold onto this. And at some point, we’ll strike on Giovanni too, on James Evans, and on anyone in our way. Quoth the Ravyn, nevermore!”
Christy and Ravyn turn and head into their locker room.
Jaina: “Back to ringside.”
Bree Lancaster vs. Peyton Rice
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, her arms spread wide, the United States Championship belt around her waist. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily.
Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside... the current SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!"
The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. He goes to the apron as Bree walks to the center of the ring, turning as she does. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. She hands the belt off as her music fades.
Sharper: “Bree Lancaster last week attacked Rachel Tatum Lee and the awkward landing has put “The Violent Kind” on the shelf for a period of time, an unfortunate break for Rachel but we know she will be back with a vengeance. Bree now takes on the 2019 Rookie of the Year, a woman on the rise, Peyton Rice and there are some big things ahead of this young lady. You cannot deny Bree has been a long reigning United States Champion, but her cowardly tactics proved she was indeed of afraid of Rachel.”
Knots: “No doubt she was, Bree knew her title reign was in trouble with the crazy cowgirl, now we don’t know who she will be facing at the PPV, I’m sure an announcement will come shortly but a win here by Peyton sky rockets her right up to a top contender and Bree knows it, the last thing she wants is a loss to a Kelcey Wallace protégé.”
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 the beautiful 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.
With her gorgeous and contagious smile, Peyton starts to walk to the ring, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before hopping into the apron and pointing the crowd before flipping over the top rope as the crowd roars and stepping on the second rope, raising her arms and looking up, she then thanks the fans while being announced….
Phillips: “And her opponent, she hails from Glendale, Arizona! Weighing in at 115 pounds, here is “Pretty” Peyton Rice!”
The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little, standing in the corner and awaiting for the match to begin…..
Sharper: “There she is, we saw Damian Angel show up last week and her reaction, that is definitely on her mind and we saw the last time she was distracted by him, she lost the TV title, the second longest in SCW history. Peyton looks focused, she understands the importance of this match and with a Trios Tournament Captain spot on the line at the PPV, this is a match she cannot overlook.”
Knots: “Like I said, she wins here it’s almost a guaranteed United States title shot down the road. Peyton is tough, she is the fastest wrestler on the roster, winning the Ricky Octavius Memorial Tournament, even pinning Selena Frost, she is in for a huge 2020 and this could be the beginning, Sharper.”
The two women circle the ring, locking up, Peyton with a quick arm drag, Bree gets up, charges in and Peyton hits a hip toss, followed by a dropkick as Bree rolls out of the ring and Scott checks on her as the crowd roars. The referee is about to administer the count but Peyton runs against the ropes to do a Tope Suicida, Scott grabs Bree and pulls her out of the way, Peyton spins and lands back on the ropes resting on them and waiting for Bree to get back in as the crowd roars…
Sharper: “Peyton showing off her quickness and she’s practically inviting Bree to get back in the ring! She came out hard out of the gate.”
Knots: “This is why she was Rookie of the Year, she can move, Bree was caught and ran off, the coward she is!”
As the referee starts the count, Bree paces, (1) trying to catch her breath and slow down the pace of the match. (2), Peyton is off the ropes ready for her to get back in the ring. (3) Scotty gives her words of encouragement, as she slides in (4) and locks up with Peyton, kneeing the young Rice in the midsection, a clubbing blow to the back of Peyton and another, Irish Whipping her into the turnbuckle, Peyton though runs up and springboards into a flying bodypress with a cover…
ONE!
TWO!!
BREE KICKS OUT!
Peyton gets back up running against the ropes, she is tripped up by Scott, Peyton stumbles some, turns to Scott and Bree nails her with a vicious neckbreaker, the crowd oh’s. Bree springs off the rope and lands a hard corkscrew elbow, hooking the leg for the cover…
ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT BY PEYTON!
Bree doesn’t waste anytime when suddenly the crowd gets up and starts to cheer, some boo as Damian Angel makes his way from the back.
Sharper: “Damian Angel is here! We saw him show up last week and Peyton thought she saw a ghost! What is he doing out here!?”
Knots: “I don’t know Sharper, but this could be trouble, someone might be going to hell…. I hope it’s Bree!”
Damian circles the ring going after Scott Burnside who runs the opposite corner to the entry way screaming at Damian to leave him alone. Inside the ring, Bree picks up Peyton, hitting BOGO! Peyton crumbles to the mat and Bree goes for the quick cover as the referee jumps on the mat and counts…
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE… NO! PEYTON KICKS OUT!
Bree looks at the referee who signals TWO fingers, while she holds up THREE. He waves it off, she looks at Burnside trying to avoid Damian who then turns to face Bree, whose eyes widen, she backs up a little, turning to Peyton, picking her up and swinging her around for Priceless but Peyton counters with a Pele Kick! Bree falls, she turns and sees Damian, wondering why he is here. Damiana and her have a stare down, Peyton looks frustrated, almost angry, pointing to the backstage to leave but Damian shakes his head…
Sharper: “You have to commend Peyton; she wants to win this match on her own! She is surprised and even offended he came out, she has been very vocal about how she feels the state of the SCW has been with all he interference and attack, she wants to win or lose this match on her own merit.”
Knots: “It is commendable but he’s out here to help her? We don’t know that; he could be out here to pick up on the bones of Peyton!”
Peyton turns around and Bree is there to roll her up in a Small Package, hooking the tights, as the referee goes down for the count…
ONE!
TWO!!
PEYTON KICKS OUT!
Bree is quickly back up but Peyton catches her with a Hurricarana! She leans in hooking both legs for the cover…
ONE!
TWO!!
THR… NO! BREE KICKS OUT!
Peyton turns and runs toward the ropes, she springboards off but Bree catches her into a Spinebuster! The crowd boos as she folds up Peyton for the cover as Damian screams on for encouragement and Scott is terrified half-way up the aisle….
ONE!
TWO!!
THR… NO PEYTON GETS A SHOULDER UP!
Bree is beside herself, jumping in the referees face clapping her hands fast as he was not counting fast enough for her. She gets up and goes to the corner, signaling the Classifier. Waiting for Peyton to slowly get up holding her ribs.
Sharper: Bree hist this it is over, what a fast paced back and forth match, next move could end it and Damian Angel is looking on, right where Bree is!”
Knots: “He is looking right at her; Peyton might be in big trouble here!”
Bree is waiting, then she stops and turns to Damian, screaming for him to go and “WATCH THIS!”, Damian Angel looks on as Bree is about to hit the Classifier, she runs at Peyton who leap frogs Bree, the crowd roars, Bree stumbles she turns back and Peyton hits the Snowbird! Her version of the spear!
Sharper: “Peyton hit Bree with her own move!”
Knots: “What an upset this would be and insult to injury!”
Peyton starts screaming at Damian! She knows that he was a distraction, telling him to leave, he simply looks on. Frustrated, Peyton though doesn’t go for the pin, she points to the top rope and like a cat scales it, going for the Pretty Girl Drop when Scott hops the apron, Peyton tries to kick him off but he hops down giving Bree time to roll out of the ring. She grabs the United States Championship and shrugs Peyton off, her and Scott go through the other side to avoid Damian and start making their way up the rampway…
Knots: “Oh come on! They are leaving!?”
Sharper: “Bree seems to have had enough, preserve herself for the PPV, I don’t know! Peyton is annoyed, telling her to get back in the ring as the referee is about to stop counting but Peyton stops him, shaking her head. Bree and Scott are looking at the ring when the crowd roars, all of a sudden Kimberly Williams comes running out from the back, attacking Bree! She jumps her from behind, wailing on her back, Scott tries to grab her giving Bree enough time to roll over and get a few punches in. The referee calls for the bell as Peyton’s eyes widen, Damian looks on as Kimberly grabs Bree’s head and starts slamming it on the ramp, she then reaches into her pocket and takes out a stapler as the crowd roars…
Sharper: “Kimberly Williams has attacked the United States Champion! She is about to staple Bree! The referee called for the bell as Damian and Peyton look on!”
Knots: “Bree went from one crazy cowgirl to just crazy! Staple her Kim!”
Bree is able to squirm out of the way and run up the ramp with Scott, leaving her title on the ground, where Kim slowly picks it up and smiles holding it up, Bree screams that her title belongs to her, where the referee comes in and snags it from Kimberly giving it to Bree. They disappear in the back as Kimberly looks around and the crowd roars, she then turns to a very angry Peyton staring her down…
Phillips: “The winner of the match as a result of a Disqualification…. The United States Champion, BREE LANCASTER!”
The crowd boos as Kimberly and Peyton continue to stare each other down, Kimberly then turns with the stapler as the crowd cheers and runs to the back.
Sharper: “What a wild finish to this match and you have to feel for Peyton, she could have maybe won the match, we don’t know but both her and Bree came to fight and after last week, but I think we have a hint here about who may be next to challenge Bree!”
Knots: “Peyton is not happy…. I have never seen her look like that before and for those who don’t know there is some history with Peyton and Kimberly from their days with EMERGE. I think that young woman is reaching her boiling point and rightful should. We’ll be right back.”
Peyton lowers her head and rolls out of the ring, staring at Damian Angel, shaking her head before heading to the back, he follows her…
We rapidly cut backstage as James Evans is getting attacked by CHBK, Alexander Crowe and Syren. James covers up as they kick away on him against a wall. James falls down to the floor and Syren gets a few more kicks in. Officials run in and start to pull him off.
Sharper: “Syren attacking James Evans! Syren has James Evans on the night of the Superbowl!”
Knots: “And CHBK is here. He’s back. Along with Crowe! They’re wearing him out!”
Officials come in and start to get CHBK back before a few others get between Crowe and Syren and James. James grimaces in pain, holding his ribs as Syren turns back.
Syren: “Hope that felt good. Because I will always come after you!”
Syren turns to one of the officials.
Syren: “Get off me. I need to get to the ring.”
CHBK: “Come on.”
CHBK, Crowe and Syren head off as James continues to wince in pain as the scene fades to black.
COMMERCIALS
Syren vs. Ace Marshall
A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans erupt in mixed reactions as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side.
ADRENALIZE ME
He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd. Cassidy smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Master of the Universe Freddy Mercury was referring to in that song, Ace Marshall!”
The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. 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 it, landing inside the ring on her feet before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring just as Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway.
Sharper: “Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter have been busy trying to develop a team mentality for his team at Day of Infamy. Ace Marshall will lead his four person team against Syren and her team.”
Knots: “And tonight, let’s hope he can shut up Syren. I’d love to see her just fall flat on her face. It’s already great that she’s not challenging for the title.”
Sharper: “Could’ve been interesting if she faced Giovanni Aries and James Evans. Would’ve been third straight triple threat match for the World Title. Now, James isn’t defending the title, but Syren has not let up about her anger about that situation. She wanted James Evans. She wants Giovanni too.”
The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural address.
“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is—”
There’s a record scratch before a deep voice fills the arena.
“INFAMOUS!”
The opening of “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up, we find Syren standing in the middle of the stage, adorned in a jacket. The crowd boos but she doesn’t seem to care, spinning around to point to the back of her jacket where we see the words ‘DARK FANTASY’ written.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
Syren spins back around again before looking over her shoulder. The curtains part and CHBK and Alexander Crowe walk out to join her, which only gets more of a negative reaction from the fans. Syren then begins to walk down to the ring, flicking her hair and ignoring the fans at ringside as Alexander Crowe and CHBK follow. As the trio approach the ring, Crowe slides into the ring before sitting on the middle rope and pushing it down, while holding up the top rope. Syren very deliberately walks up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the ring apron before stepping between the ropes. CHBK makes his own way into the ring as Syren walks over to the middle of the ropes, stepping onto the bottom rope with one foot and the middle rope on the other.
Phillips: “His opponent, introducing, representing Infamous and accompanied by Alexander Crowe and SCW Hall of Famer CHBK, she hails from Los Angeles, California, this is SYREN!”
She steps off the ropes and walks over to her corner. She slides off her ring jacket and tosses it in the corner. Then she backs into the corner as CHBK leans in and talks to her.
Sharper: “CHBK is back at ringside. Alexander Crowe-“
Knots: “Yeah. Let’s have everyone out here. Tells me that Syren is pulling out all stops. Infamous has been using their numbers wherever they can. And it’s starting not to work. SCW is catching up. They’re wise to Infamous’ ways!”
Sharper: “All the more reason I think Infamous is looking at something as a win. Retaining the Tag Titles at Day of Infamy and Syren in the trios tournament could do that. And Ace Marshall knows Infamous very well. They used to be good allies. Not anymore.”
The crowd buzzes as Ace and Syren look at one another and the bell sounds. Ace steps out, but Syren runs across and drills Ace with a hard right and then another and another and another. The crowd boos as Ace covers up. Syren kicks him over and over and over again in the ribs. The referee, Aaron Demitra, calls for the break.

Syren backs up and snaps at Demitra. Syren walks around and turns around.
Sharper: “Well looks like Syren is going to use Ace Marshall to take out her frustrations.”
Knots: “After the Open Invitational and these two brawling all over, why not?!”
Ace pulls himself up and nods and Syren moves after Ace and nails him again with another hard forearm. She then kicks him in the ribs. Ace staggers along the ropes and stops at the next corner and Syren follows up and Ace knees her in the ribs. The crowd roars. Syren forearms him and Ace knees her again. He knees her a third time before spinning her into the corner and then hits a back elbow. He grabs her and whips her across the ring and Syren hits the opposite corner and Ace runs out and clotheslines her down. The crowd roars. Syren starts to get up and Ace turns and grabs her by the head and runs her into the corner, throwing her forward and Syren flips upside down and back first into the turnbuckle. She rolls back and Ace grabs her and hits a back suplex.
Sharper: “Talk about fast and furious! Suplex!”
Knots: “Cover!”
Ace bridges up.

Syren kicks out and rolls over. Both competitors get up and turn to one another and Ace kicks her in the ribs. He hoists her up for a vertical suplex, but Syren spins through and lands on her feet. She nails him in the back of the head and then again and again before Ace turns and elbows her in the jaw. Syren falls back to the corner. Ace turns to her.
Ace: “Stop it!”
Syren looks at Ace and runs out and nails him with a forearm shot and then another before kicking him in the ribs. She runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Ace goes for a clothesline. Syren ducks and bounces off the other side and jumps up and nails him with a flying forearm. She gets up and hits a discus leg drop and goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Ace turning Syren through.”
Knots: “Look at Cassidy! I never liked her, but I’m liking her now! She’s laughing at Syren!”
Syren reaches forward and starts to crawl toward the ropes. Ace keeps the hold on as Syren moves closer and closer. Cassidy keeps laughing at her and Syren gets close enough to swipe at Cassidy. Cassidy steps back as Syren lunges and grabs the bottom rope. The crowd boos. Ace holds on and smirks.
1!

Ace lets go and steps forward before discussing whether five comes after four with Aaron Demitra. Syren grabs at the ropes and starts to get up and Syren turns and runs at Ace.

Sharper: “Syren with the bulldog. Both just scrapping and you know there is some animosity between these two.”

Syren turns and rolls him over and stomps him in the face. Ace turns and Syren runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Ace steps up to a knee only for Syren to hit a dropkick to the face. She follows up with a pin.

Knots: “Syren won’t die. She’ll keep fighting. You wonder what she could do if she didn’t take the damn shortcuts all the time!”
Ace gets up and then shrugs and stomps her in the face. The crowd cheers a bit as Cassidy yells at him to do it again. Ace does it again before backing up and moving to the corner. Syren rolls over and starts to get up. She shakes it off and turns around to her feet. But as Ace goes to run across for the One Eyed Royal, Alexander Crowe enters the ring and nails him in the side, knocking him down. He rolls to the mat and the referee calls for the bell. The crowd boos loudly. Syren starts to get up and Crowe gets a few stomps in on Ace. The bell sounds again. Syren steps over and Cassidy enters and runs over and nails Syren from behind.

James Evans then watches Syren. Syren yells at him as James tells her to get into the ring.
Sharper: “What a night in Cleveland! What is going to happen next week as we get closer and closer to Day of Infamy!”
Knots: “Looking more and more that it will be infamous for anyone but Infamous!”
The scene fades to black…
Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jaina Lancaster here with the team of Infamous, Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews. Ladies, we just saw the number one contenders to your World Tag Team Championship belts get attacked by Giovanni Aries and the Wonderland. Syren and Infamous has had some issues with Giovanni. Does this change the direction this match was going to go? I mean, some have noted similarities between Valeria Garcia and you, Ravyn.”
Christy: “Ah, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Ravyn: “Interesting and intriguing possibility. Then again, I suppose we did prove helpful when Alexander launched Valeria and Paris Truelove off the stage, injuring the latter. I suppose the former was just there for illusions.”
Jaina: “Clearly I’m referring to matters tonight which may change things.”
Ravyn: “How sweet.”
Christy: “What Ravyn is trying to say is that we have no plans to suddenly turn to the Cat Bandits because of some odd allegiance against Giovanni. Would you ask the same question with James? Of course not.”
Jaina: “And yet, this issue with the Bandidas is not personal so much. Instead, it surrounds the World Tag Team Champions. And Ravyn have proven in the past she is willing to use any advantage…you being such on, Christy.”
Christy: “Get this…I am more than just a tool. Our relationship was of mutual benefit!”
Ravyn: “As for the Bandidas, there’s no benefit. I don’t need a second one of me around and frankly, they’re welcome to aim for revenge. We’re looking to hold onto this. And at some point, we’ll strike on Giovanni too, on James Evans, and on anyone in our way. Quoth the Ravyn, nevermore!”
Christy and Ravyn turn and head into their locker room.
Jaina: “Back to ringside.”
Bree Lancaster vs. Peyton Rice
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, her arms spread wide, the United States Championship belt around her waist. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily.
Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside... the current SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!"
The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. He goes to the apron as Bree walks to the center of the ring, turning as she does. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. She hands the belt off as her music fades.
Sharper: “Bree Lancaster last week attacked Rachel Tatum Lee and the awkward landing has put “The Violent Kind” on the shelf for a period of time, an unfortunate break for Rachel but we know she will be back with a vengeance. Bree now takes on the 2019 Rookie of the Year, a woman on the rise, Peyton Rice and there are some big things ahead of this young lady. You cannot deny Bree has been a long reigning United States Champion, but her cowardly tactics proved she was indeed of afraid of Rachel.”
Knots: “No doubt she was, Bree knew her title reign was in trouble with the crazy cowgirl, now we don’t know who she will be facing at the PPV, I’m sure an announcement will come shortly but a win here by Peyton sky rockets her right up to a top contender and Bree knows it, the last thing she wants is a loss to a Kelcey Wallace protégé.”
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 the beautiful 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.
With her gorgeous and contagious smile, Peyton starts to walk to the ring, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before hopping into the apron and pointing the crowd before flipping over the top rope as the crowd roars and stepping on the second rope, raising her arms and looking up, she then thanks the fans while being announced….
Phillips: “And her opponent, she hails from Glendale, Arizona! Weighing in at 115 pounds, here is “Pretty” Peyton Rice!”
The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little, standing in the corner and awaiting for the match to begin…..
Sharper: “There she is, we saw Damian Angel show up last week and her reaction, that is definitely on her mind and we saw the last time she was distracted by him, she lost the TV title, the second longest in SCW history. Peyton looks focused, she understands the importance of this match and with a Trios Tournament Captain spot on the line at the PPV, this is a match she cannot overlook.”
Knots: “Like I said, she wins here it’s almost a guaranteed United States title shot down the road. Peyton is tough, she is the fastest wrestler on the roster, winning the Ricky Octavius Memorial Tournament, even pinning Selena Frost, she is in for a huge 2020 and this could be the beginning, Sharper.”
The two women circle the ring, locking up, Peyton with a quick arm drag, Bree gets up, charges in and Peyton hits a hip toss, followed by a dropkick as Bree rolls out of the ring and Scott checks on her as the crowd roars. The referee is about to administer the count but Peyton runs against the ropes to do a Tope Suicida, Scott grabs Bree and pulls her out of the way, Peyton spins and lands back on the ropes resting on them and waiting for Bree to get back in as the crowd roars…
Sharper: “Peyton showing off her quickness and she’s practically inviting Bree to get back in the ring! She came out hard out of the gate.”
Knots: “This is why she was Rookie of the Year, she can move, Bree was caught and ran off, the coward she is!”
As the referee starts the count, Bree paces, (1) trying to catch her breath and slow down the pace of the match. (2), Peyton is off the ropes ready for her to get back in the ring. (3) Scotty gives her words of encouragement, as she slides in (4) and locks up with Peyton, kneeing the young Rice in the midsection, a clubbing blow to the back of Peyton and another, Irish Whipping her into the turnbuckle, Peyton though runs up and springboards into a flying bodypress with a cover…
ONE!
TWO!!
BREE KICKS OUT!
Peyton gets back up running against the ropes, she is tripped up by Scott, Peyton stumbles some, turns to Scott and Bree nails her with a vicious neckbreaker, the crowd oh’s. Bree springs off the rope and lands a hard corkscrew elbow, hooking the leg for the cover…
ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT BY PEYTON!
Bree doesn’t waste anytime when suddenly the crowd gets up and starts to cheer, some boo as Damian Angel makes his way from the back.
Sharper: “Damian Angel is here! We saw him show up last week and Peyton thought she saw a ghost! What is he doing out here!?”
Knots: “I don’t know Sharper, but this could be trouble, someone might be going to hell…. I hope it’s Bree!”
Damian circles the ring going after Scott Burnside who runs the opposite corner to the entry way screaming at Damian to leave him alone. Inside the ring, Bree picks up Peyton, hitting BOGO! Peyton crumbles to the mat and Bree goes for the quick cover as the referee jumps on the mat and counts…
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE… NO! PEYTON KICKS OUT!
Bree looks at the referee who signals TWO fingers, while she holds up THREE. He waves it off, she looks at Burnside trying to avoid Damian who then turns to face Bree, whose eyes widen, she backs up a little, turning to Peyton, picking her up and swinging her around for Priceless but Peyton counters with a Pele Kick! Bree falls, she turns and sees Damian, wondering why he is here. Damiana and her have a stare down, Peyton looks frustrated, almost angry, pointing to the backstage to leave but Damian shakes his head…
Sharper: “You have to commend Peyton; she wants to win this match on her own! She is surprised and even offended he came out, she has been very vocal about how she feels the state of the SCW has been with all he interference and attack, she wants to win or lose this match on her own merit.”
Knots: “It is commendable but he’s out here to help her? We don’t know that; he could be out here to pick up on the bones of Peyton!”
Peyton turns around and Bree is there to roll her up in a Small Package, hooking the tights, as the referee goes down for the count…
ONE!
TWO!!
PEYTON KICKS OUT!
Bree is quickly back up but Peyton catches her with a Hurricarana! She leans in hooking both legs for the cover…
ONE!
TWO!!
THR… NO! BREE KICKS OUT!
Peyton turns and runs toward the ropes, she springboards off but Bree catches her into a Spinebuster! The crowd boos as she folds up Peyton for the cover as Damian screams on for encouragement and Scott is terrified half-way up the aisle….
ONE!
TWO!!
THR… NO PEYTON GETS A SHOULDER UP!
Bree is beside herself, jumping in the referees face clapping her hands fast as he was not counting fast enough for her. She gets up and goes to the corner, signaling the Classifier. Waiting for Peyton to slowly get up holding her ribs.
Sharper: Bree hist this it is over, what a fast paced back and forth match, next move could end it and Damian Angel is looking on, right where Bree is!”
Knots: “He is looking right at her; Peyton might be in big trouble here!”
Bree is waiting, then she stops and turns to Damian, screaming for him to go and “WATCH THIS!”, Damian Angel looks on as Bree is about to hit the Classifier, she runs at Peyton who leap frogs Bree, the crowd roars, Bree stumbles she turns back and Peyton hits the Snowbird! Her version of the spear!
Sharper: “Peyton hit Bree with her own move!”
Knots: “What an upset this would be and insult to injury!”
Peyton starts screaming at Damian! She knows that he was a distraction, telling him to leave, he simply looks on. Frustrated, Peyton though doesn’t go for the pin, she points to the top rope and like a cat scales it, going for the Pretty Girl Drop when Scott hops the apron, Peyton tries to kick him off but he hops down giving Bree time to roll out of the ring. She grabs the United States Championship and shrugs Peyton off, her and Scott go through the other side to avoid Damian and start making their way up the rampway…
Knots: “Oh come on! They are leaving!?”
Sharper: “Bree seems to have had enough, preserve herself for the PPV, I don’t know! Peyton is annoyed, telling her to get back in the ring as the referee is about to stop counting but Peyton stops him, shaking her head. Bree and Scott are looking at the ring when the crowd roars, all of a sudden Kimberly Williams comes running out from the back, attacking Bree! She jumps her from behind, wailing on her back, Scott tries to grab her giving Bree enough time to roll over and get a few punches in. The referee calls for the bell as Peyton’s eyes widen, Damian looks on as Kimberly grabs Bree’s head and starts slamming it on the ramp, she then reaches into her pocket and takes out a stapler as the crowd roars…
Sharper: “Kimberly Williams has attacked the United States Champion! She is about to staple Bree! The referee called for the bell as Damian and Peyton look on!”
Knots: “Bree went from one crazy cowgirl to just crazy! Staple her Kim!”
Bree is able to squirm out of the way and run up the ramp with Scott, leaving her title on the ground, where Kim slowly picks it up and smiles holding it up, Bree screams that her title belongs to her, where the referee comes in and snags it from Kimberly giving it to Bree. They disappear in the back as Kimberly looks around and the crowd roars, she then turns to a very angry Peyton staring her down…
Phillips: “The winner of the match as a result of a Disqualification…. The United States Champion, BREE LANCASTER!”
The crowd boos as Kimberly and Peyton continue to stare each other down, Kimberly then turns with the stapler as the crowd cheers and runs to the back.
Sharper: “What a wild finish to this match and you have to feel for Peyton, she could have maybe won the match, we don’t know but both her and Bree came to fight and after last week, but I think we have a hint here about who may be next to challenge Bree!”
Knots: “Peyton is not happy…. I have never seen her look like that before and for those who don’t know there is some history with Peyton and Kimberly from their days with EMERGE. I think that young woman is reaching her boiling point and rightful should. We’ll be right back.”
Peyton lowers her head and rolls out of the ring, staring at Damian Angel, shaking her head before heading to the back, he follows her…
We rapidly cut backstage as James Evans is getting attacked by CHBK, Alexander Crowe and Syren. James covers up as they kick away on him against a wall. James falls down to the floor and Syren gets a few more kicks in. Officials run in and start to pull him off.
Sharper: “Syren attacking James Evans! Syren has James Evans on the night of the Superbowl!”
Knots: “And CHBK is here. He’s back. Along with Crowe! They’re wearing him out!”
Officials come in and start to get CHBK back before a few others get between Crowe and Syren and James. James grimaces in pain, holding his ribs as Syren turns back.
Syren: “Hope that felt good. Because I will always come after you!”
Syren turns to one of the officials.
Syren: “Get off me. I need to get to the ring.”
CHBK: “Come on.”
CHBK, Crowe and Syren head off as James continues to wince in pain as the scene fades to black.
COMMERCIALS
Syren vs. Ace Marshall
A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans erupt in mixed reactions as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side.
ADRENALIZE ME
He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd. Cassidy smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Master of the Universe Freddy Mercury was referring to in that song, Ace Marshall!”
The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. 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 it, landing inside the ring on her feet before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring just as Ace makes his way to the corner. He climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as the match is about to be underway.
Sharper: “Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter have been busy trying to develop a team mentality for his team at Day of Infamy. Ace Marshall will lead his four person team against Syren and her team.”
Knots: “And tonight, let’s hope he can shut up Syren. I’d love to see her just fall flat on her face. It’s already great that she’s not challenging for the title.”
Sharper: “Could’ve been interesting if she faced Giovanni Aries and James Evans. Would’ve been third straight triple threat match for the World Title. Now, James isn’t defending the title, but Syren has not let up about her anger about that situation. She wanted James Evans. She wants Giovanni too.”
The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural address.
“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is—”
There’s a record scratch before a deep voice fills the arena.
“INFAMOUS!”
The opening of “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up, we find Syren standing in the middle of the stage, adorned in a jacket. The crowd boos but she doesn’t seem to care, spinning around to point to the back of her jacket where we see the words ‘DARK FANTASY’ written.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
Syren spins back around again before looking over her shoulder. The curtains part and CHBK and Alexander Crowe walk out to join her, which only gets more of a negative reaction from the fans. Syren then begins to walk down to the ring, flicking her hair and ignoring the fans at ringside as Alexander Crowe and CHBK follow. As the trio approach the ring, Crowe slides into the ring before sitting on the middle rope and pushing it down, while holding up the top rope. Syren very deliberately walks up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the ring apron before stepping between the ropes. CHBK makes his own way into the ring as Syren walks over to the middle of the ropes, stepping onto the bottom rope with one foot and the middle rope on the other.
Phillips: “His opponent, introducing, representing Infamous and accompanied by Alexander Crowe and SCW Hall of Famer CHBK, she hails from Los Angeles, California, this is SYREN!”
She steps off the ropes and walks over to her corner. She slides off her ring jacket and tosses it in the corner. Then she backs into the corner as CHBK leans in and talks to her.
Sharper: “CHBK is back at ringside. Alexander Crowe-“
Knots: “Yeah. Let’s have everyone out here. Tells me that Syren is pulling out all stops. Infamous has been using their numbers wherever they can. And it’s starting not to work. SCW is catching up. They’re wise to Infamous’ ways!”
Sharper: “All the more reason I think Infamous is looking at something as a win. Retaining the Tag Titles at Day of Infamy and Syren in the trios tournament could do that. And Ace Marshall knows Infamous very well. They used to be good allies. Not anymore.”
The crowd buzzes as Ace and Syren look at one another and the bell sounds. Ace steps out, but Syren runs across and drills Ace with a hard right and then another and another and another. The crowd boos as Ace covers up. Syren kicks him over and over and over again in the ribs. The referee, Aaron Demitra, calls for the break.

Syren starts to get up and Ace turns and grabs her by the head and runs her into the corner, throwing her forward and Syren flips upside down and back first into the turnbuckle.

Syren reaches forward and starts to crawl toward the ropes. Ace keeps the hold on as Syren moves closer and closer. Cassidy keeps laughing at her and Syren gets close enough to swipe at Cassidy. Cassidy steps back as Syren lunges and grabs the bottom rope. The crowd boos. Ace holds on and smirks.
