'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?

Breakdown cuts to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots standing in front of the SCW announce table, microphones in their hands.
Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and we have a hell of a show for all of you watching at home and for all of our fans here in Britain!”
Knots: “Talk about a huge main event. As Sienna Swann continues to implode outside of the ring, and without Chris Cannon, she’s going to have to deal with the ramifications of everything she’s done to Glory Braddock!”
Sharper: “Not just that, a huge eight person tag team match. Infamous and Zero Effs to Give against Twin Magic and the surprising brother-sister combo of Jake Starr and Jordan Majors.”
Knots: “We’re also going to hear from Selena Frost later tonight and we’re going to get an update about Xander Valentine too!”
Sharper: “We found out he was victorious in that unsanctioned Empty Arena match. Selena Frost and Xander Valentine both receiving medical attention. We hope to hear some more tonight.”
Owen Cruze vs. Gavin Taylor
The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena.
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show
The crowd boos as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, a microphone in his hand, the chorus of the song plays.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the opening contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California, he is the All-Star, Gavin Taylor!”
Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger.
Gavin: “Thank you Dr. Phil. But I’ll take it from here.”
The crowd boos as Gavin slowly saunters down the ring.
Gavin: “But I hope you’re all ready! Tonight, you get to bear witness to greatness in the form of one of the bona fide unsung greats, the Jedi of the Mat, the Michael Jordan of Top-Ropin’, the Greatest Tea Drinker that ever lived, the KING of Professional Wrestling, the next Adrenaline Champion, Me! Gavin Taylor!”
The crowd boos as Gavin stops at the base of the ramp and looks around.
Gavin: “And Owen Cruze, I know he used to hail from this place-“
The crowd roars with cheers. Gavin tries to calm them down.
Gavin: “Calm down. Don’t need to interrupt. Geez…I thought the Brits were the mannered people. But I’ll make him never want to make this trip again. That’s fine, because you’ll have seen me! And maybe, just maybe, I’ll become the first dual-championship contender in SCW history!”
The crowd boos as Gavin Taylor’s music continues. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out of the ring while holding onto the top rope. Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out. Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes as he watches for his opponent.
Sharper: “Good to know Gavin’s confidence also made the trip across the pond.”
Knots: “Hey. He’s confident. He wants to win. And a win against Owen Cruze would be big!”
Sharper: “Rumour has it that Owen may be in line for his rematch. Nothing official.”
Knots: “After last week, Sasha was going to give him and James a shot. When James attacked that masked man and all of that, you wonder if that’s changed.”
Sharper: “I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough. Sasha has a lot on her mind.”
The lights straight to flicker in the arena as “The show must go on” the SCW / Maserati Remix kicks in over the PA system, the opening beats bringing a huge cheer from the fans.
“Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?”
Owen steps out onto the stage to an even louder outpouring of noise, looking left and right at the fans and nodding in acknowledgment of their support. He then smiles.
Phillips: “His opponent, from Newquay, England…by way of Los Angeles…”
The crowd erupts in cheers. Owen nods.

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 down the ramp, only focussed on the ring. Owen slides into the ring, and climbs a turnbuckle, raising his arm as his music fades, and he jumps backwards into the ring. He backs up and turns and looks at Gavin.

??? vs. Aaron Blackbourne
SCW Television Championship
All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. 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. 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 cheers.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, from Seattle, Washington, he is the SCW Television Champion, Aaron Blackbourne!”
The lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed, as Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, happily accepting high fives from the fans with a smile. The SCW Television Championship sits over his shoulder. 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. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead. He hands the title to the official, Michael Constantine.
Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne coming out first. The first three time TV Champion in SCW history and he’s got an interesting challenge in that, we don’t know who it is.”
Knots: “Coming out first. That’s rare for the champion. But we’re all wondering who Sasha has signed to face him!”
A twisted form of a merry-go-round tune plays as sounds of rusty gears and chains are heard. A haunting choir of children’s can be heard as well, “La-la”ing to the music before suddenly-
“MAKE ME LAUGH!”
The audience rise to their feet in cheers as "Sin with A Grin" by Shinedown is heard, a spotlight shining down on the ramp.
Sharper: “Wait! What?! It can’t be!”
From the back walks Shilo Valiant, half his face pained with the black and yellow-green colors of the Two-Faced Fiend. Valiant slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, looking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. He slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his face-paint glowing amidst the red of the rain and white of the spotlights.
Phillips: “And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is Shilo Valiant!”
The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it. With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal. Blackbourne looks at him as Shilo smirks. The crowd cheers loudly as a “This is awesome!” chant begins to break out.
Sharper: “Shilo Valiant returning to SCW! To face Aaron Blackbourne for the SCW Television Championship! Here in London!”
Knots: “From the God of Wrestling tournament to Breakdown!”
Sharper: “Everyone is standing! Blackbourne and Valiant look at each other. My God!”
The chanting continues as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen. The two competitors start to walk around the ring, keeping their eye on one another. Shilo even tries to pattern the movements of Blackbourne before Blackbourne lunges at him and goes for the legs. Shilo hops away and walks around. He laughs a bit before spinning around and turning to Blackbourne and the two lock-up in a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back one another before Shilo turns into a side headlock before then spinning around and pulling him down by the hair. Blackbourne hits the mat and rolls over. Shilo looks at him and smirks, dropping to his knees and looks at Blackbourne. Blackbourne gets up and Shilo stands up. The two lock-up again.
Sharper: “Shilo taking Blackbourne down before starting to taunt him a bit.”
Knots: “Looks like Blackbourne is going to have to figure out some more in his bag of tricks!”
Blackbourne is pushed back by Shilo and then manages to drop back to a knee and sends Shilo face first into the corner turnbuckle. Shilo hits and turns and Blackbourne gets up and hip tosses him over. Shilo rolls over and gets up and Blackbourne kicks him in the ribs. He hooks him up and Shilo nails him in the ribs before going to lift him up instead, but Blackbourne jumps back and lands on his feet. Shilo goes for a jumping spinning heel kick. Blackbourne ducks and rolls underneath. Shilo spins through, landing on his feet. He turns and runs at Blackbourne and Blackbourne hits a hip toss again, but Shilo flips through, his feet landing on the top rope and backflipping back before Blackbourne clotheslines him down.

Sharper: “Rumour has it that Owen may be in line for his rematch. Nothing official.”
Knots: “After last week, Sasha was going to give him and James a shot. When James attacked that masked man and all of that, you wonder if that’s changed.”

??? vs. Aaron Blackbourne
SCW Television Championship
All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. 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. 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 cheers.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, from Seattle, Washington, he is the SCW Television Champion, Aaron Blackbourne!”
The lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed, as Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, happily accepting high fives from the fans with a smile. The SCW Television Championship sits over his shoulder. 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. When the chorus ends, Blackbourne leaps from the top into the ring, removing his black jacket and setting it into his corner before he begins doing some light warm-ups for the match ahead. He hands the title to the official, Michael Constantine.
Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne coming out first. The first three time TV Champion in SCW history and he’s got an interesting challenge in that, we don’t know who it is.”
Knots: “Coming out first. That’s rare for the champion. But we’re all wondering who Sasha has signed to face him!”
A twisted form of a merry-go-round tune plays as sounds of rusty gears and chains are heard. A haunting choir of children’s can be heard as well, “La-la”ing to the music before suddenly-
“MAKE ME LAUGH!”
The audience rise to their feet in cheers as "Sin with A Grin" by Shinedown is heard, a spotlight shining down on the ramp.
Sharper: “Wait! What?! It can’t be!”
From the back walks Shilo Valiant, half his face pained with the black and yellow-green colors of the Two-Faced Fiend. Valiant slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, looking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. He slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his face-paint glowing amidst the red of the rain and white of the spotlights.
Phillips: “And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is Shilo Valiant!”
The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it. With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal. Blackbourne looks at him as Shilo smirks. The crowd cheers loudly as a “This is awesome!” chant begins to break out.
Sharper: “Shilo Valiant returning to SCW! To face Aaron Blackbourne for the SCW Television Championship! Here in London!”
Knots: “From the God of Wrestling tournament to Breakdown!”
Sharper: “Everyone is standing! Blackbourne and Valiant look at each other. My God!”
The chanting continues as the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen. The two competitors start to walk around the ring, keeping their eye on one another. Shilo even tries to pattern the movements of Blackbourne before Blackbourne lunges at him and goes for the legs. Shilo hops away and walks around. He laughs a bit before spinning around and turning to Blackbourne and the two lock-up in a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back one another before Shilo turns into a side headlock before then spinning around and pulling him down by the hair. Blackbourne hits the mat and rolls over. Shilo looks at him and smirks, dropping to his knees and looks at Blackbourne. Blackbourne gets up and Shilo stands up. The two lock-up again.
Sharper: “Shilo taking Blackbourne down before starting to taunt him a bit.”
Knots: “Looks like Blackbourne is going to have to figure out some more in his bag of tricks!”
Blackbourne is pushed back by Shilo and then manages to drop back to a knee and sends Shilo face first into the corner turnbuckle. Shilo hits and turns and Blackbourne gets up and hip tosses him over. Shilo rolls over and gets up and Blackbourne kicks him in the ribs. He hooks him up and Shilo nails him in the ribs before going to lift him up instead, but Blackbourne jumps back and lands on his feet. Shilo goes for a jumping spinning heel kick. Blackbourne ducks and rolls underneath. Shilo spins through, landing on his feet. He turns and runs at Blackbourne and Blackbourne hits a hip toss again, but Shilo flips through, his feet landing on the top rope and backflipping back before Blackbourne clotheslines him down. He then goes for the pin.
