Breakdown - October 17, 2024

“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:

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as we see a shot of Selena Frost standing on the stage, about to the run to the ring. We then see shots of Bree Lancaster hitting someone with the Rectifier and Simon Lyman posing with his arms out.

Maybe I'm just paranoid
Or maybe I'm just livin' a lie
Can't stop this screamin' voice
Or maybe I'm just sick inside

Shots of Kandis hitting Gratuitous on an opponent, before showing Rated X posing as SCW World Tag Team Champions. Katie Steward is next shown posing, before we see David Striker diving over the top rope and Josh Hudson standing on the stage, smiling. Shots of Chance Owens, Simon Lyman and the European Fiery Nation follow, superimposed over the Breakdown logo

This is the face
I hate the other side of me
Out of this cage
He breaks to take the life from me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm not crazy

Syren is shown hitting Xander Valentine with the Total Makeover before showing the Shinigami Foundation standing in the ring talking to the crowd. Glory Braddock is next shown hitting the London Plunge before we see The One Kirsten Scott proudly holding the SCW Television Championship. WASLEY is next shown as Kimberly Williams is seen smirking. The Breakdown logo flashes on the screen.

There's a psycho in my head
I'm closer to the edge
Makin' me feel like I'm livin' in misery, misery
Insane
These voices in my brain
Starting to feel like it's gonna be the death of me, death of me

Gavin Taylor hitting the Gavin Taylor lariat on an opponent is next, before we see Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO making her entrance. Konrad Raab punching Ace Marshall in a steel cage is shown next, before we see Autumn Valentine hitting a standing shooting star press. Lexy Chapel is then shown showing off Syren. Amy Chastaine posing follows before we see Matthew Knox hitting the Dead, and Lovely against Deanna Frost.

There's a psycho in my, there's a psycho in my head

Shots of Deanna Frost, Kandis, Xander Valentine, and Syren are shown before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots out from the base of the stage. The display continues for a few moments before spotlights circle the arena and the cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “Breakdown returns to Thursday nights as we roll into Boston!”

The cameras pan the crowd before we cut to ringside where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots sit at the announce position.

Sharper: “Adam Sharper here at ringside alongside Jonathan Knots. And folks, a big night tonight here in Boston. Xander Valentine will be in action. He’ll face Kirsten Scott. And Selena Frost, well, she could have a long night as Scott Reed awaits her.”

Knots: “He wanted her during the Trios. He’s had an issue with her for months. Now he gets to face her tonight.”

Sharper: “And we have heard rumours about the Chamber Match and Under Attack. What is SCW thinking there.”

Knots: “Whoever ends up in it better be ready with some ice, a bottle of Jack, and god knows what else, and that’s just if they survive it, let alone win it!”

The lights go out. A few moments later, a white spotlight shines at the top of the ramp. In that spotlight we see a man wearing a suit. The lights to the rest of the arena come back on, the chorus to "The Night" by Disturbed echoes through the loud speaker. The crowd roars, while some boo. Blake Mason then steps out into the light. We then see Brittany Lohan walking out behind him, cracking her knuckles. Blake glances back at her before then starting to head to the ring. Lohan follows a few strides behind.

Sharper: “And Boston’s own Blake Mason on his way to the ring. Not alone. The paid services of Brittany Lohan.”

Knots: “Yeah, but he’s not got what he wanted. He wanted a World Title shot. He had a Trios cash-in already queued, but it required William Heaven to give the contract Billy Heaven Jr. won in the Trios finals to him. And they aint doing that!”

Sharper: “We saw that be a big issue last week. A few days later and you wonder whether cooler heads will prevail.”

Blake Mason walks down to the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then walks along the apron before stepping into the ring. Brittany Lohan follows, walking up the steps a few strides behind. She enters the ring and then stands in the corner, arms folded across her chest. Blake Mason walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone. SCW ring announcer Jason Phillips obliges. Mason takes it and walks back over to the middle of the ring. He straightens his hair and then takes a deep breath. His music fades out.

Blake: “I am home…”

The crowd again responds with a mixed reaction.

Blake: “And I don’t know how sweet it is to be home right now.”

Blake pauses again, looking down for a moment, thinking, before looking up at the main camera.

Blake: “Tonight, I had a plan to challenge for the World Championship in my home town. The reasons there should not be hard to understand. I tried it before. I failed. It is what it is. But that was then…and this is now. And this was more perfect.”

Blake starts tow alk around the ring.

Blake: “And the plan was simple – William Heaven understood that I had my eyes on the World Championship. He offered a simple idea. If the opportunity developed for me to shift the balance to help his embarrassment of a son win, the Fall of Man would help me become champion. And I suggested that the trios contract could be cashed immediately to allow us to have nothing hanging over our heads. Heaven’s nod seemed to confirm that plan. And yet, he withheld his contract.”

Blake scoffs.

Blake: “And while I had made notable preparations, directly dealing with Board members of SCW to ensure the expedited contract would be honoured….All William Heaven has shown is that he, as a businessperson, is the worst kind. Someone who cannot be trusted.”

Blake then looks right at the camera of the cameraperson on the apron.

Blake: “And William, I do not take kindly to being jerked around in a business deal. Trust me when I say this…you will regret it at some point or another. You say your group represents the future. I hold the future in my hand. And to ensure you realize that I am not joking, I hope Leroy Adams is enjoying his paid vacation.”

The crowd buzzes.

Sharper: “Did he just suggest he turned Leroy on the Fall of Man?”

Knots: “Or at least is paying him to say home. And Blake has the money. Even the Underground Title run for Adams gave him a good paycheck.”

Blake: “But that…”

Blake smirks.

Blake: “Is the future…and while I know I have a target on my back, I am not going to let a good opportunity go. Because the fact that I am still in my hometown and I still have my gear backstage, and Josh Hudson isn’t booked…well, Josh, you wanted the Wild West. Time to do it then as they did it in the Wild West. I dropped you on your head already once before. I will do it again….and it depends on you…you were ready to go to war against Kandis and Kirsten Scott. Well I am better than both!”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction.

Blake: “You have to show what kind of champion…and man you are…then again, you don’t seem to be able to protect what is close to you. Something she never had to worry about with me.”

The crowd ohs.

Blake: “And sometimes the blunt ways are better, Josh-“

“Duality” then starts to play and the crowd roars. Blake smirks and turns to the entrance way.

Knots: “I think Josh heard him.”

Sharper: “Josh Hudson has Xander Valentine awaiting him at Under Attack. Almost 19 years to the day that he ended Xander Valentine’s undefeated streak.”

Josh Hudson walks out from the back, World Championship over his shoulder. He has a microphone in his hand as he walks out from the back and walks down to the ring. The crowd roars as Blake Mason watches him. Lohan turns to watch Hudson as Hudson heads down to the ring and then reaches it, rolling into the ring. He then gets up and steps up to his feet, walking over to Blake Mason. Blake just smirks as Hudson looks at him, bringing a microphone to his mouth.

Hudson: “You just love to hear yourself talk.”

The crowd roars.

Hudson: “And if there is a moral of your little story is you tried a hell of a lot harder to get here when you could’ve just done what you did and ask for a shot.”

Blake shrugs.

Blake: “Still a hail mary pass as far as I’m concerned. I don’t know if you’re willing to pass on the opportunity to humble Xander Valentine again. I don’t really care though. Plus, the Trios allowed me to make sure I’d have a favourable environment.”

Hudson: “I said it clear as day on the first night I was champion. I would face on all comers and prove who should hold this title in the squared circle.”

Hudson pauses briefly.

Hudson: “You just get a lucky bonus star because you piledrove me a few weeks ago and frankly, after last week, I’m in the mood for a match where I stretch someone!”

Blake: “Then try against me, just put that title on the line.”

Hudson looks at him as the crowd roars.

Hudson: “You do realize that you won’t get to dictate terms like with the Trios. One on one, in this ring, no bullshit. Can you handle that, Blake?”

Blake leans forward.

Blake: “I didn’t come back to fall short. Are you putting your title on the line tonight or not, Josh?”

Hudson: “Get your tights. I’ll drop you on your head tonight!”

The crowd roars.

Blake: “Good luck.”

Blake steps past Hudson. Hudson, this time, just watches him. Blake keeps his eyes on Hudson before he steps through the ropes and down to the floor. “Duality” plays throughout the arena. Lohan then slowly exits the ring, joining Blake on the floor.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson accepting the challenge…”

Knots: “You can tell they don’t trust each other at all. Not taking their eyes of each other for a split second!”

Sharper: “Hudson agreeing to put his title on the line against Blake Mason in Boston, his hometown. CHBK is going to have to agree to it.”

Knots: “Look…”

Blake starts to walk to the back, pulling a phone out from his inside jacket pocket. He starts to scroll through his contacts before then placing the phone to his face. He turns back, looking at Josh before smiling. The camera picks up a part of his conversation.

Blake: “Yes…Michael. Are you watching…”

Blake heads to the back, Lohan a few strides behind as Hudson watches him all the way to the back.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Jaina Lancaster outside of the office of Alex Desoubrais.

Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jaina Lancaster here and Breakdown already starting off hot with a challenge and an acceptance for a World Championship shot. I’m here outside of the office of the SCW COO, Alex Desoubrais. And just waiting-“

The door opens as Alex “CHBK” Desoubrais walks out and over to Jaina.

Jaina: “Mr. Desoubrais! Can I-“

CHBK: “I know why you’re here. And…the decision already was made for me. Tonight, Blake Mason will challenge Josh Hudson, one on one, for the SCW World Championship!”

The crowd roars.

Jaina: “Huge news! But…what do you mean it was already made for you?”

CHBK instead walks back into his office, opening the door and closing it behind him.

Jaina: “Mr. Desoubrais?”

Jaina turns back to the camera and shrugs.

Magical Cosmic Princess YUYO vs. Ryan LeCavalier

The arena is quiet, with a palpable sense of expectancy in the air as the lights go off. An ethereal blue glow is projected onto the entry ramp by a lone floodlight that breaks through the darkness. The crowd trembles with eagerness as L'Impératrice's "A View to a Kill" pulsates synthesizers burst the stillness.

A silhouette appears out of the darkness, clad in a shimmering silver cloak that seems to both reflect and absorb the light. The coat flutters about her as she moves, giving her enticing peeks of the wrestling gear in silver and black underneath. Her face is hidden behind a mask of steely resolve, framed by the hood.

The moment Ryan LeCavalier, as "The Lost Monarch," removes her hood and shows off her icy-focused eyes, the audience screams. At the top of the ramp, she stops and looks out over the crowd like a queen assessing her subjects. She steps down into the ring and gracefully makes her way to the turnbuckle, removing her cloak like a snake might remove its skin. With her eyes fixed on her opponent, she slides into her mouthguard, completing her transformation. The arena is bustling with the unsaid promise of a great battle to come, and the air is crackling with suspense.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a 15 minute time limit. Introducing first, from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, she is The Lost Monarch… Ryan Lecavaaaalier!”

The crowd stays completely quiet as Ryan scans around the arena using her icy cold eyes.

Sharper: “This should be an interesting one. Ryan here is a relative newcomer here to us, but not at all new to the ring and taking on champions. She has been wrestling for over 23 years, almost a quarter of a century.”

Knots: “That is a lot of work under her belt. I’m sure that she has never encountered anyone like YUYO though.”

Sharper: “Maybe not.”

Knots: “If I were Ryan, I definitely would make sure I stay on my toes here. As for YUYO, feeling overconfident here just because you are still our Adrenaline Champion, is not the way to go.”

Sharper: “Good analysis there Jon.”

Knots: “I do my best.”

The arena darkens before:

Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan

The Nyan cat appears on the screen, with the crowd popping. The cat in a poptart, farting rainbows, steers around and breaks right into the screen, showing a window crack before breaking. At that moment, “Catch Me If You Can” by BABYMETAL’s opening riffs plays, and the girls' voice count:

One-Two
One-Two-Three-Four!

Out pops YUYO from behind the curtains wearing the SCW Adrenaline Championship around her waist. Bright white light now shines down on the stage, following YUYO. Mister Meowkazawa follows her to stand behind her. A moment later, her fellow Shining Maidens of SCW members join her as well. NEMO and SAWA pose at either side of YUYO. YUYO steps up to the top of the ramp and places her hands on her hips. Meowkazawa hands her the magical staff, Gríðarvölr, which has been repaired as best as possible from a certain past dealing that YUYO would obviously not want to discuss, at all. She spins the staff around with a display of talent, the long purple and white ribbons attached to the staff’s end flash. When she stops, she thrusts one hand forward while holding the staff behind her back.

YUYO: “HA!”

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, descending from the sea of stars above, the Guardian of Love, Justice and Peace— and the SCW Adrenaline Champion– Magical Cosmic Princess, YUYO!”

YUYO springs down the ramp, staff in hand, she tosses it into the ring as she slides in under the bottom rope. She pops to her feet, picks up the staff again in a single stride, and then straight to the corner. She holds the staff like a gun and aims towards the ceiling, “BANG! BANG!”. Mr. Meowkazawa catches up to her, taking the staff while she remains in the corner. She points to the sky, “FOREVER!”. SAWA echoes YUYO's call while NEMO stands stoically off to the side. YUYO runs to the next corner and repeats, “FOREVER!”. She hops off the corner with a superhero landing! She then puts on a “mean” face as she readies for the match, staring across the ring at Ryan. Ryan stares back, not looking impressed one bit, though she does look down at the SCW Adrenaline Championship as YUYO removes it from around her waist before she passes it to the referee. The referee takes it and slides it out to an SCW staff member at ringside before he comes fully back into the ring to call for the bell.

As soon as the bell rings, YUYO backpedals, hops onto the nearest middle rope and jumps off the rope into the air, looking to catch Ryan off-guard. She tries to attach her legs around Ryan for a hurricanrana, but Ryan just gets out of the way, leading to YUYO hitting the mat, right on her rear. At ringside NEMO and SAWA both can be seen rolling their eyes. From here Ryan studies YUYO as she begins to stand up. She gets behind her and then leaps into the air a bit herself. YUYO turns right into a missile dropkick that puts her back down to the canvas. Ryan goes to the nearest set of ropes and goes out to the ring apron. Ryan sets up, waits for YUYO to get up, and then goes through the middle rope and lands a snap dragon screw to perfection. The crowd ohs and boos as Ryan drops down on top of YUYO for a cover. The referee is right on it.

1!

2!

YUYO rolls the left shoulder and kicks before the 3 can happen. YUYO looks befuddled, confused.

Sharper: “YUYO looks off so far in this one. Ryan definitely studied and quite well at that.”

Knots: “Overconfidence can definitely be a downfall, and YUYO has had too much confidence as of late. Maybe tonight is the night that it catches up to her. And you have to think Glory is watching.”

Sharper: “She undoubtedly is.”

Ryan doesn’t whine or anything about YUYO getting out of the cover. She simply stands up and waits for her much shorter opponent to come back up to her feet, so she can be ready for her and in perfect position. However YUYO rolls away to the nearest set of ropes and begins to stand up there. Once she is good to go, she glares over at Ryan. Ryan goes for a jumping heel kick, but YUYO holds back and sees an opening going for a drop toe hold. Despite the experience level that Ryan is at, she gets caught and goes down. Ryan immediately goes to stand back up while YUYO hops up to the middle rope and then to the top before turning around. Ryan turns and YUYO comes off the top rope, hitting a breathtaking standing moonsault, which forces both ladies down to the canvas, with YUYO draped over the bigger Ryan. YUYO has the wherewithal to reach back and hook Ryan’s left leg.

1!

2!

Ryan kicks out. YUYO keeps up the pressure. She stands up, runs at the far set of ropes, bounces off of them and then performs a cartwheel before again landing right on top of Ryan who has not yet gotten up. YUYO again goes to cover.

1!

2!

Ryan kicks out again before she shoves YUYO off. Both ladies begin to slowly get to their feet. YUYO looks like she is going to set up for the Magical Knee, but Ryan sees this. She goes to the furthest corner possible and fakes not being able to see her opponent. YUYO yells out.

YUYO: “M-A-G-I-C-A-L! EXPLOSION!!!”

YUYO then runs out of her corner and believes she is about to hit per patented bicycle knee strike, but Ryan suddenly turns, jumps up and hits a modified dive, plowing right into YUYO, driving her down to the mat.

Sharper: “Ryan was smart there.”

Knots: “IMPLOSION!!!”

Ryan rolls away and gets up and then stands behind where YUYO is down. Ryan is silently begging for YUYO to come to her feet, probably looking for Crown With Teeth. It’s almost as if YUYO hears her as YUYO shakes her head and rolls out of the ring. She throws her arms up in the air and heads to the timekeeper area to grab her championship belt.

YUYO: “Give me my Adrenaline Championship! Not worth it! EXPLOSION!!!”

In the ring Ryan throws her arms up in frustration, gets out of the ring herself and then runs around the ring. YUYO looks shocked as she sees Ryan running out of her. YUYO leaps out of the way, almost falling over the barrier. Ryan’s momentum unfortunately carries her into the crowd barrier. Ryan slumps down.

Sharper: “Ryan just got too excited to end things there and might have just ended them for herself. Even still YUYO has got to be concerned heading into Under Attack, being she is having quite a bit of trouble with Ryan here tonight.”

Ryan looks very angry as she slowly comes back to her feet. YUYO runs behind NEMO and SAWA. Ryan sees where YUYO is and just shakes her head. The referee’s count is up to 7. Ryan rolls into the ring closest to where she is to break up the count. YUYO does the same behind NEMO and SAWA, which completely resets the count. As YUYO rolls back out, Ryan runs completely around the ring and goes to blast YUYO down from the other side. YUYO does a bit of a tumbling pass and collides with Ryan just at the right time to put Ryan down to the floor.

YUYO can be heard yelling out.

YUYO: “HAHA! YES!!!”

YUYO again rolls into the ring, again breaking up the referee’s count which was up to 5.

Upon taking the time to do this, it gives Ryan enough time to recover but she stays down on her knees, again putting up an act like she can’t get up. YUYO sees her and licks her chops, figuring that now is the time to strike and finish this off.

Knots: “Don’t get too cocky YUYO. I think Ryan’s just faking… AGAIN!”

When YUYO comes back down, Ryan sits completely up, proving Knots right. She grabs YUYO’s left leg and brings her down with a rolling leg lock. YUYO immediately yells out. NEMO and SAWA step towards the situation, but the referee in the ring warns them both to stay back, which they do. The referee begins to count both YUYO and Ryan out.

1!

2!

3!

4!

YUYO struggles in the leg lock. Ryan cinches it in harder and at this point is clearly just pissed from the look on her face and in her icy eyes.

5!

6!

7!

YUYO battles hard in the leg lock and turns partially, which gets Ryan to lose some of her grip.

8!

9!

YUYO tries to just make a lunge for the ring but Ryan’s grip is still somewhat there on her leg.

10!!!

The referee calls for the bell as the crowd boos.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, due to neither competitor making it back into the ring before the count of 10, this match is a draw!”

The moment this is announced NEMO and SAWA approach Ryan. Ryan wisely lets YUYO go and she smirks at YUYO as she gets up..

Sharper: “Neither of them will get the win here, and Ryan made it clear she wanted to prove she should be challenging for championships.”

Knots: “Well a draw could eventually help with that, especially against the Adrenaline Champion. She seems happy.”

Sharper: “That smirk. Maybe just sending a bit of a message. She tied up YUYO and YUYO had no answer. What’s going to happen when Glory, who is just like that…she gets her hands on YUYO and there is no countout in an Adrenaline Title match!”

NEMO and SAWA help YUYO to her feet. As they do, she shouts at the official.

YUYO: “I was supposed to win! Number three wrestler in SCW! EXPLOSION!”

NEMO and SAWA start to pull YUYO away, Mr. Meowkazawa trying to mollify things with the official. YUYO keeps looking around as Ryan watches her leave.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Brilliant Sun Princess YUSA standing on a platform, her back to a wall. Her bodyguards stand in front of her, guarding her. YUSA smiles as she points to the camera.

YUSA: “All of you who wanted me to fail…the Shining Maidens do not fail!”

YUSA smiles.

YUSA: “We fight for truth! Justice! And everyone wants to be me…or more specifically this…”

YUSA points to the SCW Underground Championship around her waist.

YUSA: “They want it because they do not think I deserve it. Do they think that because I didn’t win the opportunity in a match? I did. Colleen needs to get over herself. Did I not beat the former champion? The rule are chaos, are they not Kimberly? David?”

YUSA points again at the camera.

YUSA: “You all….Colleen, Kim, David….you need to understand. I have just shown up and I have done what the Shining Maidens do. We dominate. And we will do what is necessary to protect our mission. Colleen found that out last week. We will always do so as my bodyguards will make sure that in the chaotic and jealous world of Supreme, they cannot get me. Not again!”

YUSA pauses and smiles.

YUSA: “While David, Kim, Colleen, you all sit backstage, crying over how you need to wait, when you are just responsible for your own times coming short, I have a date with Brittany Lohan. I have a date with the woman who did earn a shot. She hasn’t disavowed it. She has not come in second. She won. And Brittany Lohan…you will find out that no matter your past glories, or whatever calamities you commit on behalf of Blake Mason…they will be second always to the victory YUSA will bring to Under Attack!”

YUSA smiles.

YUSA: “FOR JUSTICE!”

She then smiles again and poses.

YUSA: “EXPLOSION!”

YUSA keeps posing as the scene cuts away.

Konrad Raab vs. Waylon Creek

SCW Television Championship

Feuer Frei by Rammstein plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain with his flanged German mace with him, acting erratic with an angry look on his face, rising the flanged German mace in the air, wearing red and black skull face paint on the right side of his face with a red and black suit hoodie over his head he wears with pieces of flame blood designed all over them. He also has a penguin, walrus and a polar bear stitching on the left-hand side of his chest on his gear, stating Stop Climate Change. He also wears black boots along with Red and Black Gloves on his hands. Ginny Raab walks out behind him. Raab crouches down on the floor with the flanged German mace in front of him, looking at the ring with evil intentions.

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. Introducing first, the challenger, From Cologne, Germany, accompanied by Ginny Raab, he is Burned in Blood, Konrad Raab!”

After the announcement, Konrad picks up his flanged German mace and slowly walks to the ring with a massive amount of boos. Konrad runs up the steps and goes underneath the ropes, while Ginny walks up the stairs and gets in the ring with Konrad. As he's in the ring, Konrad, without showing any sign of acknowledgement from the fans, lays the flanged German mace on the turnbuckle, then sits in the corner of the ring with the crowd booing him, having a nasty look in his eyes, flicking his fists as if he's already ready to fight, with Ginny taking Konrad's flanged German mace away, waiting for the match to start as he takes his hoodie off from his head as Ginny leaves the ring and goes backstage.

The sound and image of a babbling brook overtake the PA and screen. Shortly after, a man dressed in a suit flickers onto the screen, standing in the middle of the creek, facing away from the camera. “Mountain Banjo” by Rhiannon Giddens comes over the system, and from behind curtain emerges a muscular figure in a skull mask, adorned by torn up flannels, being led by a black lab on a leash. William Heaven and James Evans walk out with him.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Good Grief, Idaho, accompanied by the Fall of Man, he is the SCW Television Champion, Waylon Creek!”

The dog leads the way as Waylon Creek, carrying the SCW Television Championship, follows close behind, looking around the arena. He hands the dog off to a stagehand when he gets to the ring and appears to say something to the dog. The dog sits calmly as Creek enters the ring up the steps. He calmly goes to his corner without any posing. He hands his title to Jennifer Cassidy, the official, who promptly holds it over her head. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen.

Waylon and Raab are shown, glaring at one another from their respective corners before the ref is shown calling for the bell. The bell rings and both men step forward, locking up in the center of the ring.

Sharper: “TV title on the line. The undefeated Waylon Creek taking on Konrad Raab. Should be an interesting clash of styles.”

Knots: “And let’s not forget just how violent these two can become. Raab has quite the history, and Waylon has shown signs of increased aggression.”

Raab begins to back Waylon down, only for Waylon to shove Raab down, sending him to the mat. Raab looks up while Waylon glares.

Sharper: “Raab looking a little shocked.”

Knots: “He made mention of how he blamed Waylon for losing at Trios. Raab wants to unload some of his anger, but Waylon let him know it won’t an easy task.”

Waylon motions for Raab to get up. Raab gets to his feet, before spinning around, going for a discus clothesline, but Waylon dunks under and grabs Raab, hoisting him up for a uranage slam.

Sharper: “The power of Waylon Creek is just unmatched.”

Waylon drops down to one knee and begins to hammer away at Raab’s head and face. Raab tries to cover up, only for Waylon to land shots to the ribs. Raab drops his hands from his face and Waylon grabs Raab by the head before bouncing it off the mat (1) Waylon bounces his head off the mat again (2) and a third time (3), before Waylon gets to his feet, pulling Raab up with him.

Waylon goes to whip Raab across the ring, but Raab reverses, nailing Waylon with an elbow to the side of the head. Waylon stumbles a bit before turning around to face Raab, only for Raab to get a big boot up, dropping Waylon to the mat. Waylon hits the mat, before springing back up. Raab charges over and lands with right jabs, and then a shot to the gut, followed by an uppercut, sending Waylon into the ropes. Raab charges, only for Waylon to hit a back elbow of his own. Waylon then grabs Raab and slams him headfirst into the top turnbuckle. Raab lays on the ropes and Waylon charges over, sending Raab down to the floor with a clothesline.

Sharper: “Raab down on the outside. He’s not had much of an answer for the reigning TV Champion.”

Knots: “No one has. Did Raab bring his mace?”

Waylon rolls out of the ring as Raab is shown getting up. Waylon walks over, but Raab elbows him in the abdomen. Raab then lands an elbow to the center of Waylon’s forehead. Waylon staggers back. Raab grabs Waylon and lifts him up for a vertical suplex, before driving him to the floor.

Ref: “1…2…3…”

Raab is shown getting to his feet while Waylon sits up, holding his back. Waylon gets to one knee, using the steel steps, and Raab charges. Waylon grabs Raab and spins around, planting him with a spine buster into the steps.

Crowd: “OOOHHH!!!”

Sharper: “Oh my god in heaven!”

Knots: “William’s right there if you need to speak with him.”

Raab rolls off the steps and Waylon picks him from the floor then hooks Raab, lifting him up for a scoop slam, only to slam him back first onto the barricade.

Ref: “4..5..6…”

Sharper: “That increased aggression you mentioned earlier is on full display here.”

Waylon climbs onto the barricade, before jumping down, taking Raab down with a leg drop across the throat. Raab slumps to the floor as Waylon gets back to his feet.

Ref: “7…8…”

Waylon runs into the ring before rolling back out, breaking the count. Waylon rolls back out of the ring as Raab is shown using the barricade to pull himself up. Waylon spins him around and begins to land with overhead punches to Raab’s forehead, dropping Raab to one knee, before Waylon grabs him and goes to whip him into the ring apron, but Raab manages to reverse, sending Waylon chest first into the apron.

Ref: “1..2..3…”

Raab grabs Waylon’s head and bounces it off the apron (1). He does a second time (2), and then, a third (3), before rolling Waylon into the ring.

Knots: “Raab mounting some offense, but you have to wonder if this is Raab running off pure adrenaline. There’s no denying that Waylon has done significant damage.”

Raab gets to his feet as Waylon is pushing himself up onto his hands and knees. Raab charges and kicks Waylon in the ribs. Waylon flips over onto his back, as Raab nails an elbow drop to the center of the chest.

Sharper: “Elbow drop straight to the heart!”

Raab picks Waylon up, but Waylon connects with a European uppercut. Raab comes back with a European uppercut of his own. Waylon staggers back and Raab grabs him before hitting Waylon with a choke slam. Raab goes for the cover.

1!

2!

Waylon shoots the shoulder up. Raab gets to his feet, pulling Waylon up with him. Raab then hooks Waylon before lifting him up and driving him down with a power bomb. Raab doesn’t let go, lifting Waylon up again and hitting a second power bomb, before going for another cover.

1!

2!

Sharper: “Do we have a new champion? No!!!”

Waylon kicks out. Raab pulls Waylon up, but Waylon punches Raab in the throat. Raab grabs at his throat as he staggers away. Waylon charges over, hitting Raab in the back of the head with a running elbow. Raab falls into the corner as Waylon gets behind him, taking a few steps back before charging and hitting a spear, but into the back of Raab.

Knots: “Spear to the back. Better than the rib cage I guess.”

Raab stumbles back and Waylon hooks him and takes him down with a belly to back suplex. Waylon then drives his knee into Raab’s throat and begins to hammer away with punches to the head and face once again.

Ref: “1…2…3…4…”

Knot: “Champion making great use of that five count.”

Waylon backs off and rolls away, as Raab rolls over onto his stomach. Raab pushes himself up to one knee, but Waylon levels him with another elbow to the back of the head.

Heaven: “Waylon! Finish it!”

Sharper: “William Heaven throwing out instructions now.”

Waylon gets to his feet and pulls Raab up. Raab hits a European uppercut and goes for a haymaker, but Waylon blocks it, hitting Raab with a headbutt before hooking him.

Knots: “Raab tried for one last flurry, but Waylon shutting him down rather quickly.”

Waylon hooks Raab, lifting him up for a vertical suplex, before dropping him down with a pile driver. Waylon the hooks the leg.

1!

3!

The ref calls for the bell as Waylon sits up, being joined in the ring by William Heaven and James Evans. Raab is shown slowly rolling away before falling to the outside, with “Mountain Banjo” blaring through the speakers. Waylon gets to his feet as the ref hands him the Television Championship.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, by pin fall, and still the SCW Television Champion…Waylon! Creek!”

Sharper: “Waylon landing that move he used last week. That vertical suplex into some sort of pile driver variation. Adonis fell to it last week, and now you can add Konrad Raab to that list.”

Waylon, James, and William look down at Raab who is coming to on the outside, as the cameras then show Waylon lifting the TV title and staring at it, before we cut away.

Breakdown returns as we see James Marsh-Asher and CHBK talking backstage.

CHBK: “What are you recommendations?”

Marsh-Asher: “There’s a lot to unpack there. She wanted to show that footage. She’s maybe delusional, but more likely just so sleep-deprived that her mind is trying to make connections that may not be there. She still thinks this fight against The Enigma is hers and that Heart of Vail….”

CHBK: “That stone? She was talking about with the EMTs too. She refused to let go.”

Marsh-Asher: “She swears it has power…I…maybe over her. I don’t know. Then Jessica…”

CHBK: “Have you met with her?”

Marsh-Asher: “Going to this week. I’m not sure what to expect.”

CHBK: “Well no footage recorded except for your own purposes. And…my understanding is that she’s been ruled out. There’s no way to prove she did anything and there’s a suggestion that whatever went off under the ring was timed well earlier. I am still not prepared to let The Enigma back.”

Marsh-Asher. “On that…take him seriously.”

CHBK: “I intend to. He set fire to a building-“

Marsh-Asher: “I don’t mean like that. I mean take his threats seriously. Take his belief in whatever he is seriously. He believes in this alter-ego and the powers he has. He’s perfected his mythology to meet reality. Keeping him away by suspending him may not be enough and we know he can manipulate.”

CHBK: “So can I.”

The crowd roars.

Marsh-Asher: “Just be careful…”

CHBK: “And Deanna….”

Marsh-Asher: “Physically, I understand she’s cleared. I’d feel more comfortable if we could guarantee her sleep. The insomnia is going to get her or someone else hurt.”

CHBK: “Thanks.”

Marsh-Asher: “Don’t thank me yet. I hope to have another meeting with her after I meet with Jessica. Something still is off there for me.”

CHBK: “Let me know.”

Marsh-Asher nods and heads off. CHBK turns, clearly in thought.

Back in the arena, cameras pan across the crowd.

Sharper: “CHBK clearly has a lot to think about.”

Knots: “And it’s big stakes. If Deanna can’t compete, yeah she survived, but CHBK would have to go back on his judgment call at Under Attack.”

Sharper: “The health of Deanna Frost, our US Champion, has to be considered the most important first and foremost. And we saw her last week.”

Knots: “She aint all there right now.”

Sharper: “Indeed. But we have some updates on some other competitors in SCW that are on the injured list.”

LAST WEEK:

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen before we see a still of Bree Lancaster in the ring against Alex Belmont. Bree runs at him and Belmont goes for a spinning back fist, but Bree slides under, but her foot gets caught and she pops up awkwardly before then falling over and rolling to the ropes. Hudson quickly sees this and spins around the ringpost and reaches out. Belmont turns and stomps at Bree as Hudson manages to tag himself in.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster injured herself in a freak situation. Tried to slide under Belmont, caught her foot.”

Knots: “Yeah and here it is again in slow motion.”

We see Bree sliding in slow motion before seeing her foot getting caught and then her rolling away.

Sharper: “Immediately knew something was wrong. We understand it is a fractured ankle.”

Knots: “That’s going to suck.”

Sharper: “This means Bree Lancaster will have to be off that leg for quite some time. Still some discussion about whether surgery will be needed. But we do not expect to see Lancaster back in SCW in 2024.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen again. We cut to the end of Waylon Creek’s title defense against Derek Adonis. We see Adonis down as Waylon gets back to his feet, glaring down at Adonis before pulling him back to his feet. Waylon hooks Adonis and lifts him up for a vertical suplex. Waylon then shifts Adonis, dropping him with a sitout tombstone piledriver. The crowd ohs as we cut to show the move again.

Knots: “She got off easy though. Waylon Creek, and we just saw it against Konrad. He’s not messing around. He lifted all what 300 pounds of Derek Adonis and dropped him on his head.”

Sharper: “Derek Adonis driven down onto his neck. Creek would cover him. Look at this again.”

We then see the move again in slow motion.

Knots: “Necks aren’t supposed to be bend that way!”

Sharper: “Fortunately, Derek Adonis avoided catastrophic injury. He did suffer a stinger and neck strain. He is expected to be off for several weeks convalescing.”

Knots: “I heard the KABLAMia Tourism board is helping him. They’re opening up the KABLAMia relaxation and physiotherapy section!”

Sharper: “I’m sure he’ll be in good hands.”

Knots: “And legs and-“

Sharper: “Jon…”

Knots: “What?”

Sharper: “But Waylon Creek making an impact there. We saw the same move on Konrad. So far, we hear Konrad avoided seriously injured. But still, the shock, the impact, the impact to the neck and head…”

Knots: “Still happy CHBK reversed the piledriver ban last year?”

Sharper doesn’t really say anything.

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Jaina Lancaster is standing by with La Pequena Luz, backstage. Jaina?”

Backstage, Jaina Lancaster stands outside of one of the locker rooms. La Pequena Luz stands with Amelia Blythe. Both have their World Tag Team Championship belts with them.

Jaina: “Thank you Adam. La Pequena Luz, you, I assume, had to see the conversation between Dr. Marsh-Asher and Alex Desoubrais. Deanna Frost, our US Champion, was the topic. You, Luz, are the number one contender to the SCW United States Championship. Obviously, Deanna is not at one hundred percent.”

Luz: “No…and I think that’s clear. I understand that SCW has rules and CHBK is going to make his decision. To be blunt, if this turns out that I’ll be named the US champion or there will be an interim champion, I’m not sure I can get behind that. I want to face Deanna. I want to face her for that title, but I also want to face her for that title at her best. Not when she is grappling with whatever The Enigma is and what he has done to her.”

Luz pauses.

Luz: “Look, I just saw Amelia win Trios. And while she has Trios and that’s huge, we’ve had too many conversations disappointed in the how. I don’t want that. Especially if I managed to defeat Deanna Frost. I don’t know want an asterisk. I want to say I beat her at her best and that she brought her best.”

Jaina: “To that end, and Amelia, you may have your own thought here…what about the World Tag Team Championship. Dangerous Minds clearly feel they are next in line. You defeated Team Desire last week.”

Blythe: “We’re ready to take on any challenge. Simple as that. If Dangerous Minds are next, and they have a good claim, then we will be ready.”

Luz: “That could be one option to buy time for Deanna, maybe. That’s a CHBK decision. But while I wait for my opportunity and I hope on the very reasonable terms I’ve shared, we will happily defend the World Tag Team Championship in any situation deemed appropriate. We’ve gotten past Twisted & Sadistic. Gotten past Team Desire. We’d be happy to see if we can defeat the rising teams who will be gunning for this championship.”

Jaina: “Thank you for your time and here’s hoping you get what you want.”

Blythe and Luz nod before heading back into their locker room.

Jaina: “Breakdown will return after this.”

The scene slowly fades out.

Backstage, Blake Mason is starting his stretches to prepare for his match. Brittany Lohan just opens the door walks in. Mason looks up.

Mason: “You should learn to knock.”

Lohan: “And you should learn to know I don’t really care. Especially because I need to know now with this wrinkle if you’re going to need me to watch your ass all night.”

Mason: “You have your match against Polly. Just focus on her. Prevent her from being an issue.”

Lohan: “I can happily do that. Just don’t really like her. But that’s it?”

Mason: “That’s it. At least for tonight. I have a few other things in the works.”

Lohan: “Going to be as good as your plan with Heaven.”

Mason stops and looks at Lohan.

Lohan: “You made that mistake.”

Mason: “No, I learned something new. And trust me, my other things…I can trust them to work out. Just focus on Polly and then do whatever the hell you want.”

Lohan: “Didn’t need your permission for the last part.”

Lohan turns and walks off. Blake watches her leave before returning to his warm ups.

Kimberly Williams vs. Chris Dumont vs. Gavin Taylor vs. Veronica Strader

“Wild Thing” by X plays as the crowd cheers a bit. A few moments pass before “The Ronin” Chris Dumont walks out from the back. He looks around the arena, taking it all in before starting to head to the ring. He throws his fist in the air as he does, focusing on the battleground before him.

Phillips: “Fans, the following contest, scheduled for one fall, with a fifteen minute time limit is a fatal fourway match! Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, he is The Ronin, Chris Dumont!”

The crowd cheers a bit as Dumont heads to the ring and hops onto the apron. He wipes his feet and enters before heading over to the corner, raising his fist as he does.

Sharper: “Chris Dumont finally gets what he wants in this match. And it may be a boon to him in other ways. It’s a fatal fourway and he finally gets Gavin Taylor.”

Knots: “But in a triple threat, Gavin used that to his advantage at Rise to Greatness. So he better have a different plan!”

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

And the song continues...

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays.

Phillips: “Next, from Los Angeles, California, he is The All-Star, Gavin Taylor!”

Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope.

I cheated to get what I got
Stepped all over you self for my spot
I bet you I'm winning, I bet that you're not
I bet you don't see me, I bet you get caught

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 before Dumont heads toward him. Gavin puts his hands up and backs up.

Knots: “Don’t turn you back to him, Gavin!”

Sharper: “Dumont already threatening Gavin. And Gavin meanwhile, has to worry about Dumont. Dexter Grant could be another issue.”

Knots: “HASHTAG Gavin Taylor Lariat!”

The big screen goes blank and the lights drop in the arena. “Cult of Personality” opening riff rips through the arena. The lights begin to flicker dark purple, pink and silver to the beat and the crucifix symbol of Veronica Strader appears on the big screen followed by the outline of a Scorpion in her signature purple.

// Look in my eyes
What do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality\\

The name Veronica Strader in large font starts to flash in silver and purple, with shots of her holding up the OCW TransAtlantic title getting a cheer reaction from the crowd . A spotlight hits the entrance way as Veronica steps out on stage. She walks to both sides of the top, amping the crowd up!

Phillips: “Next, from Houston, Texas by way of London, Ontario, Canada, she is the Baba Jaga of Professional Wrestling, Veronica Strader!”

//Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free\\

Hands on her hips, her hair slicked back with water, sneer across her lips. She starts to strut down to the ring, in brand new ring of black pants, with purple scorpions on the outer parts of her hips, and a black leather crop top with the crisscrossed lace across her cleavage up to her neck underneath a black leather jacket with no sleeves and a scorpion with her crucifix on the back of it. The Baba Jaga Veronica Strader stares at the ring.

//Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel prize
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set you free\\

The Scorpion walks up the steel steps and wipes her boots on the apron before stepping through the second and top rope like a normal human being.

//You gave me fortune, you gave me fame
You gave me power in your god's name
I'm every person you need to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality\\

Strader stands centre of the ring. Dumont heads for her. Strader turns and gets her hands up. Dumont is held back by the official.

//I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of
I am the cult of, I am the cult of personality\\

Sharper: “And Veronica Strader and Chris Dumont may be going at it.”

Knots: “Dumont aligned with David Striker obviously. The Troupe here. Dangerous Minds. And Strader targeted Striker at Apocalypse!”

The lights go out, except for a single spotlight at the top of the stage. The crowd erupts in cheers. The opening chords to “Patient Number 9” by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play. A haunting voice is heard…

"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"

The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on and Kimberly Williams is standing at the top of the stage to a loud positive, reaction from the fans. A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight.

Phillips: “And finally, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the Wild Card, Kimberly Williams!”

More cheers come from the crowd. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it. She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Kimberly then poses in the center of the ring to another loud reaction from the fans. The music slowly dies down and Kimberly goes to a corner to await the start of the match.

Sharper: “Very much the Wild Card in this one. Kimberly Williams has said she’s not sure why, but she’s home.”

Knots: “At home and wanting to stay firmly in the Underground. Fatal Fourway. You do the math!”

The bell sounds as Kim drops to the floor. Dumont runs at Gavin Taylor who backs up to the corner. Dumont forearms him in the jaw once and then again and again and again before Strader grabs Dumont and pulls him back. Dumont turns and headbutts Veronica. She falls back as the crowd ohs. He turns around and Gavin chops him in the chest. Gavin chops Dumont again and again before grabbing him and running him into the ropes. Dumont bounces off and Gavin goes for a hip toss, but Dumont spins through and headbutts Gavin. He then hits a Code Zero. The crowd ohs as Gavin falls to the mat. But then, the crowd cheers as Kim throws a steel chair into the ring and then a trash can before reaching under and pulling out a cheese grater and then kendo stick. Dumont notices this and looks around.

Sharper: “Kim turning this into an Underground match. Dumont has Gavin down!”

Knots: “What the hell is in there? Is that a cheese grater?!”

Dumont then turns and grabs Strader and wrenches the arm and goes for a Code Zero, but Strader dodges and then nails Dumont with a hard right and then another before running him into the corner. She then turns and walks over and grabs the kendo stick. She then looks at it and shrugs as Kim pulls out a table and the crowd roars. Strader nails Dumont in the shoulder before nailing him in the back and then grabbing him and hitting a kendo stick-assisted Ukrainian leg sweep. She goes for the pin.

Dumont kicks out. Strader gets up and walks over to Gavin and stomps him before grabbing the steel chair. She turns and walks over to Dumont as Kimberly Williams then pulls out a second steel chair and rolls into the ring. Strade turns, seeing Kim enters and swings. Kim ducks and spins around and drives the edge of the chair into the ribs of Veronica. She then lifts the chair up and slams it into his back. Veronica falls to the mat and rolls over in pain. Kim turns and Dumont runs out and drops her with a lariat.

Sharper: “Chaos already. Kim nails Strader with the chair.”

Knots: “For her or for Striker?”

Sharper: “Dumont takes Kim down, so there’s still the desire to win.”

Dumont looks around before then grabbing the cheese grater. He looks at it as Gavin starts to get up in the corner. Dumont starts to walk over to him as Gavin extends his hand, begging him off. Dumont holds up the grater getting a roar from the crowd. Dumont then steps forward and Gavin quickly hits the Better Buzzer Beater. Dumont grimaces and drops to the mat. Gavin then walks forward and grabs one of the steel chairs. Dumont rolls over, holding himself and Gavin lifts the chair up and slams it into the back of Dumont. Dumont arches his back and rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor first with the low blow and then the chair shot.”

Knots: “Hashtag Gavin Taylor Chairshot!”

Taylor then turns and grabs Kim and pulls her up and nails her with a hard forearm. He then scoops her up and slams her on the chair. Gavin turns and runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a sliding dropkick to Kim. Kim rolls over in pain. Gavin then gets up and turns right to Veronica who throws the other chair at Gavin. Gavin catches it instinctively only for Veronica to hit the A Like Supreme into it, knocking Gavin down. Veronica goes for the pin.

Gavin kicks out. Veronica gets up as Dumont stirs and Veronica grabs the chair and turn and just throws it at the head of Dumont. Dumont falls back through the ropes. Veronica then grabs Kim, but Kim counters with a jawbreaker. Veronica staggers back and Kim then kicks her in the ribs and hits the Morrigan’s Wrath. Veronica rolls over and stirs. Kim then grabs the garbage can. She then places it over Veronica’s head. Kim then looks at her and smiles before tapping the top of it and then she grabs the steel chair and turns and swings, denting the garbage can and Veronica drops.

Sharper: “Right to the head. That chair shot to the garbage can and Veronica Strader had no way to see it coming.”

Knots: “She may be out.”

Kim hooks the leg.

Veronica kicks out. She rolls over as the garbage can slides off of her. Kim then stomps Veronica in the chest once and then again before Dumont enters and Kim turns around and Dumont scoops her up onto his shoulders. He then hits the Thrill of the Hunt through the garbage can. The crowd ohs. He reaches forward for the pin, pulling back on the leg.

Kim gets her shoulder up.

Sharper: “Thrill of the Hunt! Through the garbage can. But only two!”

Knots: “This is just…I don’t even know. They’re all just bludgeoning each other. Strader has issues with Dumont. Dumont and Gavin have issues. Kimberly Williams has to love it, even if she’s down.”

Kim rolls over as Dumont slowly rolls over. He then gets up and turns only for Gavin Taylor to drill Dumont with the Gavin Taylor Lariat. The crowd roars.

Knots: “Gavin! Taylor! Lariat!”

Gavin then looks at Dumont before then grabbing one chair, unfolding it and placing it down. He grabs the second chair and does the same, placing it so they are seat to seat. Dumont slowly stirs and Gavin grabs Dumont and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Gavin hits a drop toe hold, driving Dumont chest first into the chairs. He straddles them as Gavin turns and exits to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. Gavin gets up to the top and Veronica then gets up and falls into the ropes. Gavin lands hard crotch first on the top rope. Veronica then slowly starts to get up as Kim stirs and Dumont does too. Veronica quickly nails Dumont with a hard right, knocking him down before chopping Kim. She then grabs Kim and goes for the Strader-Style. She turns and hooks the leg.

Kim gets her shoulder up. Veronica rolls off. She then gets up and turns to Dumont who suddenly catches her with a Code Red. Veronica falls to the ropes. Gavin then starts to get up as Dumont then turns and sees him and goes to nail him, but Gavin blocks it and nails him with a shot. Gavin steps up again, but Dumont then turns and hits a discus palm strike as Gavin falls back off the top rope to the floor and the table that was set up earlier. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Gavin off the top! Chris Dumont sending him through the table!”

Knots: “Gavn is out!”

Dumont staggers around and turns to Veronica who nails him with a hard right and then another. He fires back with a couple of shots before Veronica kicks him in the ribs and whips him into the ropes. Dumont bounces off and Veronica pauses as Dumont ducks instinctively, but Strader smirks and hits the Welcome to Rivervale. Dumont falls forward and just then, Kim nails Veronica in the back with the steel chair. Veronica falls forward and into the ropes. She turns around as the crowd roars before we see David Striker at ringside. He runs over, having come from the back and grabs the legs of Strader and pulls her to the floor. He then nails her with a series of hard rights as she falls back into the barricade. Kim smirks and turns to see Dumont fighting up and Kim slams the chair into his back. He staggers around and Kim drops the chair and drills him with the Shadowblade. She turns and goes for the pin as David Striker keeps hammering away on Strader.

Sharper: “Strader getting assaulted by David Striker.”

Knots: “He’s just doing what she did at Apocalypse. The difference…she’s in the match!”

Sharper: “Kim! Shadowblade!”

The crowd roars as Kim rolls off. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Kimberly Williams!”

David Striker then grabs Veronica Strader and rolls her into the ring. Kim gets up and backs away, even motioning to Striker the ring is all hers. Veronica slowly gets up and David Striker kicks her in the ribs and double underhooks her. He then looks at the chairs in the ring before hoisting Veronica up and hitting the Star Platinum onto one of the chairs. The crowd ohs. Striker rolls over to his knees and looks at her. Kim just smiles and applauds before giving him a thumbs up.

Sharper: “Striker drives Veronica Strader into the chair! Into the mat! With the Star Platinum.”

Knots: “Kim loves it!”

Sharper: “Striker so focused. Dumont was pinned by Kim. Kim wins this, but my God what a chaotic scene.”

Knots: “And remember – God may forgive, but Veronica sure don’t!”

Striker gets up as the crowd continues to look on as the scene fades out.

Destiny Page stands backstage with Xander Valentine who is in his wrestling gear.

Page: “Destiny Page here and I’m with Xander Valentine, the number one contender to the SCW World Championship. Curious your thoughts, before you face Kirsten Scott in mere moments, you may have a different person you’re challenging at Under Attack depending on what happens later tonight. Blake Mason or Josh Hudson.”

Xander: “I shouldn’t be surprised by Blake Mason throwing a hail Mary pass, just as I shouldn’t be surprised by Josh Hudson willing to entertain it. Mason had his little plan. But I’ll admit there was something poetic in facing Josh Hudson at Under Attack. Almost nineteen years to the day when he defeated me to end my undefeated streak. I wouldn’t mind seeing how he would do then. Will it be a repeat of Gang Rulz 2005 or will it be a repeat of the Breakdown after, when in the rematch, he fell short…”

Xander pauses.

Xander: “Or Blake Mason may be across the ring from me. And I have plenty I could say to him. Do you think I’m happy that I won the Trios Tournament and it is tainted by his involvement? I’m not a hypocrite. Just as Kandis tried to hand me the title, we didn’t need Blake’s help. And I would’ve welcomed whatever result followed.”

Xander shrugs.

Xander: “So whoever is across the ring from me, that, and my desire to hold the World Title one more time in my career…that’s the motivation. I’d prefer Josh….but I’ll settle for Blake! Either way, they will fall to the Executioner.”

Xander walks off.

Page: “Xander Valentine faces Kirsten Scott next, while Blake Mason will challenge Josh Hudson for the World Title later tonight on Breakdown!”

The scene fades to black.

Xander Valentine vs. Kirsten Scott

The arena goes dark and there the crowd begins to buzz wondering who is coming out. As "Sonne" by Rammstein begins to play, lasers begin to shoot across the arena to the beat, and a spotlight illuminates The Oracle on the entry way, back to the crowd, holding fingers up with the opening count-up.

Eins...
Zwei...
Drei...
Vier...
Fünf...
Sechs...
Sieben...
Acht...
Neun...

As she holds up the ninth finger, the song stops the countdown at its crescendo, and she throws her arms out to the side...

AUS!

Spotlights begin to swirl around the arena as the song continues, and "The One" Kirsten Scott walks out from backstage flanked by Hailey. The pair end up on both sides of The Oracle, who turns around and spins to the opposite side of Kirsten from Hailey. Kirsten and her compatriots begin their walk to the ring together with "The One" staring directly at her ultimate location inside the squared circle.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Your Own Personal Nightmare, she is “The One” Kirsten Scott!”

As they reach the ring, they walk along to the hard camera side, and Kirsten jumps up onto the ring apron and stands up. Hailey goes into the ring, directly behind her friend, jumping on the middle rope, and The Oracle stands on the floor directly beneath Kirsten. Kirsten slowly raises her arm beside her, pointing one index finger in her own direction, while Hailey and The Oracle begin doing the same in Kirsten's direction as well, all signifying her former name, and now nickname, of "The One."

After taking a moment to stare into the hard cam, Kirsten swings her arm out in a "DELETE" motion, before quickly sliding into the open ropes from being stood on by Hailey, and immediately goes to her corner. Hailey quickly follows, as does The Oracle from the outside. Both of "The One's" compatriots stand with her, advising her and talking to her, as she awaits the bell ringing to start her match.

Sharper: “This could be an interesting match. Scott and her opponent, Xander Valentine, have met a few times this year. Kirsten Scott even holds a victory over the Executioner. But Kirsten Scott has almost spiralled into this moment where she’s taking fights without thinking.”

Knots: “Kandis getting suspended messed with her. And then having to go see Marsh-Asher. Kirsten Scott just not happy with it all.”

The few opening keystrokes of “Soul on Fire” by Last Internationale chimed. A lull before the storm as the crowd seems to calm for only a moment before Delila Paz’s blues dominate the audio.

“Some are born to kill
Others are born to run
Some need to keep on takin'
Till you ain't got none”

A singular light appears before the curtains, on the other side is the outline of a large man. On the screen, we’re shown Xander Valentine holding onto the bars of a prison cell. He starts to bend the bars before the scene blurs.

“But baby, I wasn't built to die
Lay down and be crucified
Nah, no matter how hard they try
To push me down
Still I rise”

“Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)
Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)”

The curtain drops to reveal Xander. A quick salvo of pyros explodes in front of him before he steps through the smoke with an intense look on his face. He goes from one side of the stage to the next, yelling out to the crowd and throwing up his arms. He then stops at the top of the ramp and throws his arm up into the air. He starts down the ramp, Xander’s gaze affixed on the ring.

Phillips: “Her opponent, fighting out of Fort Collins, Colorado… from Rochester, New York…the Paragon of Violence, the Executioner…. XANDER F’ING VALENTINE!”

Suffocate me until I am blue
To preserve my bad worldview
Paranoid, All Eyes On Me
Rumours circle, vultures feed

Baby, I wasn't built to die
Lay down and be crucified
Nah, no matter how hard they try
To push me down
Still I rise

Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)
Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)
Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)
Soul on Fire (Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul)

Xander leaps up onto the apron in a single bound. Xander climbs up over the top rope and marches straight to the far side of the ring. He throws his arms up again, getting a massive pop. He goes to the opposite side and repeats to garner the same response. He hops down from the rope, and jogs into place, waiting for the bell.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine meanwhile has Josh Hudson on his mind-“

Knots: “If Josh wins tonight! If not, it’s Blake Mason!”

Sharper: “And that would be a difference. There’s a bit of a personal and professional rivalry between Xander and Josh Hudson. That’s going to drive him in its own way. But Blake…it’s a different fight if Blake wins. Xander gets the winner.”

Knots: “There are going to be a lot of people angry in SCW marketing if Blake wins tonight. Then again, Blake can probably cover it with his own cash. And he’d be happy to spread it around if he wins.”

The bell sounds and Kirsten Scott runs across the ring and nails Xander with a hard right and then another and another and another. Xander ends up in the corner. Kirsten kicks him a couple of times in the ribs.

Kristen Scott is forced back by the official, Jennifer Cassidy. She spins around and heads over to Xander who grabs her by the throat. He then hits a choke throw into the corner. Xander nails Kirsten with a hard right and then a left before a couple more jabs before nailing her with a right hook. Kirsten spins down to the mat and pops up, falling back to a knee and then moving to the next corner.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine with a series of hard rights and lefts.”

Knots: “Do you really want to go punch for punch with a former boxer who trained to try to make it to the Olympics?!”

Xander follows up and heads over and knees Kirsten in the ribs. He then grabs her and hits a hip toss out of the corner. Kirsten hits the mat and rolls over. She gets up and moves to the corner. Xander follows up and goes over to her, but Kirsten nails him with a hard right and then a kick to the ribs. She runs into the ropes and bounces off and Xander steps up and goes for a clothesline. Kirsten ducks and bounces off the other side. She jumps up and goes for a flying clothesline, but Xander just catches her and drops her with a slam. He goes for the pin.

Kirsten kicks out. She rolls over and moves to the ropes. Xander follows up and grabs her and knees her in the ribs against the ropes. He knees her a second time and then a third. He whips her across the ring. Kirsten bounces off and Xander runs forward and drops her with a clothesline. He then jumps up and hits an elbow drop before going for another pin.

Kirsten kicks out.

Sharper: “And a two count as Xander Valentine continuing the pressure on Kirsten Scott.”

Knots: “Kirsten better find that aggression and find a place to use it. Xander is just smothering her with his offense.”

Xander gets up as Kirsten Scott rolls over. Xander grabs her and runs her face first into the nearby corner. Kirsten turns and Xander hits a back elbow. The crowd cheers. He elbows her again and again before whipping her across the ring. Xander turns and runs after and hits a running splash. The crowd ohs.

Kirsten steps off and walks around the ring. Xander slowly gets up, grabbing the ropes. Kirsten then runs over and knees him in the spine before pulling him back by the head and hitting a neckbreaker.

Sharper: “And Kirsten Scott working over Xander in the corner and now the neckbreaker.”

Knots: “That’s one way. Can’t throw a hard right if he’s down on the mat and getting pummeled.”

Kirsten Scott turns and hits a knee drop. She goes for the pin.

Xander kicks out. He rolls over and Kirsten Scott gets up and stomps him a couple of times as he grabs at the ropes.

Kirsten walks around the ring and Xander pulls himself up and Kirsten runs over and hits a dropkick to the back of his head. Xander staggers around the ring and then turns around as Kirsten runs at him and hits a jawbreaker. Xander falls back into the corner. Kirsten then gets up and runs at Xander, hitting a running forearm shot to the jaw. Kirsten turns and runs into the ropes as Xander staggers out.

Kirsten gets her shoulder up. Xander rolls off as Kirsten rolls over. She slowly gets up and Xander then steps up and boots her in the face. Kirsten falls to the mat.

Sharper: “That’s one way to keep her down.”

Knots: “Boot to the face. Kirsten got up just to find herself back down.”

Sharper: “And Xander quickly stopping her onslaught of offense.”

Kirsten rolls over and Xander drags her up and pulls her in. He then hoists her up and holds her up. The crowd roars. Xander lets go with his arm and then drops down with a brainbuster. The crowd ohs. Xander hooks the leg.

Kirsten then pulls herself up as Xander rolls over. He slowly gets up and Kirsten walks around the ring and then gets in position before running at Xander and drilling him with a knee to the back of the head. Xander goes down. Kirsten rolls him over and hooks the leg.

The crowd roars before Xander throws her and throat first into the top rope. She snaps back and into Xander who grabs her by the throat. He then hoists her up before planting her with a chokeslam!

Sharper: “First into the ropes! And then caught! Chokeslam!”

Knots: “Jesus! Did you see her head snap back?!”

Sharper: “And then I saw her driven to hell with that chokeslam! Xander Valentine is done messing around!”

Xander watches as Kirsten Scott starts to slowly pull herself up. She staggers up and Xander walks over and pulls her head back and locks in the Fade to Black. Kirsten Scott tries to fight out of it, but Xander pulls back, using his strength. Kirsten has little leverage and starts to fade. The official checks on her and quickly then calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Xander lets go.

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

Sharper: “Valentine at the end with the Fade to Black…no hesitation. No remorse.”

Knots: “Just a clear message – he’s gunning for the World Title. And while Kirsten Scott brought a fight, Xander Valentine reminded everyone what he can do!”

Sharper: “The question is who will he face? Josh Hudson or Blake Mason?”

Xander Valentine’s arm is raised. He pulls away and walks around the ring. He then scans the crowd before turning and stepping through the ropes to the floor. Xander Valentine then starts to walk to the back as the scene fades out.

Backstage, William Heaven is talking to CHBK. James Evans just glares at him as Waylon Creek stands a bit forward. Billy Heaven Jr. notably is absent.

Heaven: “Now I figured I would clarify some things. First…I know the board has good connections with Blake, but our Trios contract will stay with us.

CHBK looks up from his desk.

CHBK: “And until I would see that contract change hands, I would think that. Of course, Billy Heaven Jr., your son is who holds it-“

Heaven: “And I am acting as his guarantor. You’ve seen him. I’m going to make sure when that contract is cashed in, it won’t be on something foolish.”

CHBK: “I can appreciate that, but none of this warrants this meeting.”

Heaven: “How is Derek Adonis doing?”

CHBK looks at Heaven and leans back.

CHBK: “Convalescing at his resort.”

Heaven: “I know for quite some time. And Konrad got well…lucky. That all you can place on Kim and her fairweather desires…she wants to be a waste of talent. That’s her call. But you have two men here who anything but that.”

CHBK: “I understand-“

Heaven: “James Evans called out Xander Valentine. You ignored it and now Xander is challenging the World Champion. James was disrespected last week as the chaos that Kimberly promotes unnecessarily got involved in his affairs. He now has a blemish on his record. And trust me when I say…we do not need more motivation to lay waste to people!”

CHBK: “William-“

Heaven: “And then there is Waylon Creek here. Undefeated. When is he going to finally get what HE deserves too! This man is the future of this company. And he deserves to be treated as such-“

CHBK: “William! I don’t need the hype man. I’ll keep giving Waylon harder challenges. As for James…his reputation is well known in SCW.”

CHBK looks at both and then Heaven.

CHBK: “Next week on Breakdown, they’ll have challenges reflective of their standing.”

Heaven: “Thank you. But Alex…just like Blake will find out…I am not one to cross. Neither are they. And so…time is passing by quickly. The Fall of Man is coming.”

Heaven walks out of the office. Waylon follows Heaven while James glares at CHBK before turning and following after his manager.

Breakdown returns, the scene opening up in the office of CHBK. Selena Frost has a piece of paper in her hand as CHBK sits at his desk.

Selena: “So I’m being told that I’m not closing the show. All because Blake Mason wants to fail again in his quest to become World Champion.”

CHBK: “Yes, I made that call.”

Selena: “Good to know you have some say. Scott Reed has had months of running his mouth claiming he has an issue with me. It will probably be his biggest match of his career. And you’re taking the main event away from him. May be his only shot as he falls off after his moment against Kirsten Scott.”

CHBK: “World Title’s on the line Selena. And you’ve had no problem with World Champions getting the spot over you.”

Selena: “That’s different. They at least respect the sport and the titles.”

CHBK: “So does Josh. And Blake cares about it more than anything.”

Selena: “Just unbelievable. Rewarding his actions.”

CHBK: “That was out of my hand.”

Selena: “I’m sure it was. Now you understand why I keep as much out of your hands. And soon enough-“

CHBK: “You can demand your rematch. You have the contract.”

Selena: “That’s on my terms. Not his.”

Selena turns and walks off. Breakdown returns to the ring.

Brittany Lohan vs. Polly Pingotti

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot. A few seconds pass, which is when an open field is shown up on the SCW tron. A flock of birds rise up from the tall grass and fly away as the sound of a piano can be heard playing, leading into the opening of "Bird Set Free" by Sia. The moment the opening words are heard, Polly steps out from the back and stands at the forefront on the stage. She looks up at the tron to see one straggling bird rise up from the grass all by its lonesome. Polly admires the one small bird that begins to fly away now too until Sia reaches the chorus, which is when she turns around as a pair of pyros goes off on each side of the entranceway. The nearest camera catches her piercing bright green eyes as she begins to walk down the ramp and down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, making her way to the ring, from Panguitch, Utah, Polly Pingotti!!!”

Polly does smile but only briefly as she turns her attention to the task at hand. She can hear the usual mix of cheers and boos, leaning more towards cheers than boos. She gives one full look around the arena before she slides into the ring under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring she stands right up, closes her eyes, and presents a flying motion. She opens her eyes back up and light on her feet chooses a corner of the ring to wait in. With her arms now back at her sides, her focus builds on the fight that she is about to go through.

Sharper: “Polly Pingotti has to be in the right frame of mind tonight. She went after Blake Mason last week. Personally holding him responsible for her team’s failure to win the Trios Tournament.”

Knots: “And she’s not happy. That was going to be her moment.”

Sharper: “And Brittany Lohan here tonight playing interference. That’s for sure.”

"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 boo 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 snarls at a few of them get a little too vocal with her. However, the moment that her eyes catch the glimpse of the ring she shuts the fans out and turns all of her attention to the squared circle.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from San Diego, California, the War Machine, Brittany Lohan!”

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 where Polly Pingotti runs at the ropes and hits a dropkick through the ropes, sending herself to the floor took. Brittany falls back to the barricade!

Sharper: “Polly! Throwing herself at Lohan! Feet first!”

Knots: “Brittany Lohan gets into that trance and Polly took advantage! But I don’t know if you want a pissed off Brittany Lohan!”

Brittany slowly pulls herself up, wincing and Polly Pingotti runs across the ring, bouncing off the ropes on the other side, before running to the ropes and diving over with a flip dive onto Lohan on the floor. The crowd roars. Polly rolls off. Brittany turns and starts to get up. Polly nails her in the back of the head and then again and again. Lohan falls forward and Polly grabs her and drives her face first into the steel steps. Lohan falls to the mats.

Sharper: “Polly all over Lohan to start.”

Knots: “Has the match started?”

Sharper: “I don’t think so!”

Knots: “So go Underground, Lohan! This is your domain! You’ve got a number one contendership to that title!”

Lohan rolls over and Polly grabs her and pulls her up and runs her over to the announce table. Lohan hits the table and Polly then climbs onto her back and attacks her, punching Lohan in the head over and over and over again. Lohan then reaches up and pulls her over onto the announce table. Polly looks up as Lohan nails her over and over again, clubbing her with hard right hands to the face.

Knots: “Front row seat, Sharper!”

Sharper: “Just hammering down. Lohan, pure anger, but controlled anger. Over and over to Polly Pingotti’s face!”

Lohan then pulls Polly off and throws her down. Polly rolls over and moves to the ring. Lohan grabs her and pulls her up and nails her with a clubbing blow to the back and then another before Polly catches her with a back elbow. Polly then rolls into the ring. Lohan looks at her and slides in after. She gets up as the bell sounds and Polly nails her with a hard right and then another and another before Lohan shoves her back. Polly rolls through to her feet. Lohan then runs at her and drills her with a hard clothesline. She then folds Polly up for the pin.

Polly kicks out. She turns and Lohan walks over and grabs her. The crowd looks on as Lohan then throws Polly into the corner. Lohan follows up with a series of hard shoulder thrusts to the ribs.

Sharper: “Lohan burying her shoulder into the ribs of Pingotti. Over and over.”

Knots: “And Lohan is built like a brick house. The size doing some extra damage there.”

The official warns of the break. Lohan steps back and whips Polly across the ring. Lohan runs after and Polly flips up the turnbuckles and to the apron. Lohan stops at the corner and turns for a clothesline. Polly ducks and jumps to the middle rope before twisting through into a sunset flip.

Lohan kicks out. Both get up and Polly hits a front dropkick, knocking Lohan back. Lohan rolls over and stirs before Polly jumps up and hits an enziguri kick. Lohan falls to the ropes. She gets back up and Polly grabs her and hits a snap back suplex. She then gets up and hits a leg drop before going for the pin.

Lohan kicks out. Lohan turns over and Polly moves to her, grabs her head and hammers away on it with repeated blows. Lohan swats her back. Polly rolls back. Lohan gets up to a knee and Polly hits a chick kick. Lohan goes down.

Sharper: “What a kick! Polly with a hard kick to the head.”

Knots: “Lohan may be throwing her around, and bludgeoning her with her arms, but Polly is coming right back.”

Polly then runs into the ropes and bounces off before hitting a running sliding leg drop to the head. She goes for the pin.

Lohan pushes her off. Polly nails her with a series of hard right before getting up. Polly then runs into the ropes again. Lohan starts to get up and Polly jumps up for a spinning heel kick, but Lohan catches her and then lifts her up even higher before bringing her down hard on her knee with a backbreaker. The crowd ohs. Polly rolls over, holding her back. She slowly starts to get up and Brittany Lohan waits as Polly turns to her and Lohan drops her with a discus clothesline. She goes for the lateral press.

Polly kicks out. She slowly sits up and Brittany drags her up. She then whips her into the ropes. Polly bounces off and Brittany hits a spinning spinebuster. She then gets up and hits an elbow drop before getting up and hits a second, and then a third, before a fourth and then going for the pin, folding Polly over.

Polly kicks out. Lohan looks down. She then drags Polly up again.

Sharper: “Brittany Lohan back in control and just not holding up one bit. Four elbow drops. That only gets a two count.”

Knots: “So Lohan is going to try again. And she’s just dragging her back up.”

Lohan drags her up and then turns and runs her into the ropes. Lohan runs in a perpendicular direction. Polly hits the ropes and Lohan jumps up, but Polly drops down. Lohan misses and stops at the ropes. She turns around and Polly jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

Lohan kicks out. Polly gets up and Lohan rolls over and Polly grabs her arms and goes for the Head Turner, but Lohan fights and gets up and flips Polly forward. She rolls through and gets up and Lohan lunges and just shoulder tackles her back. Polly falls back into the ropes and to the mat.

Sharper: “My God, what a shoulder tackle!”

Knots: “Pingotti kept fighting, but Lohan just overpowered her…and then ran her over!”

Lohan then walks over to her and grabs her. She then pulls her in and places her head between her legs. Lohan looks around and hoists Polly up for the Ultimate Solution, but Polly counters with a frankensteiner. Lohan rolls through and turns and Polly kicks her in the ribs and hits the Polly Pop. The crowd roars. Polly rolls Lohan over and hooks the leg.

The crowd roars and the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Polly Pingotti!”

Polly gets up, focused, looking around. She then gets up and throws her arms up. The official raises her arm as she looks around.

Sharper: “Polly Pingotti pinning Brittany Lohan and it’s a small measure of revenge.”

Knots: “Something small to make her feel better. Not holding Trios contracts better, but something.”

Polly Pingotti yells out in happiness before walking up to the ropes and looking out. She lets out another yell as the crowd roars as Andrew Raynes slides into the ring from behind.

Sharper: “Polly! It’s Raynes! Andrew Raynes!”

Knots: “Wait? They were on the same team-“

Raynes then comes up behind Polly Pingotti and locks in the Caught in the Rayne. Polly whips her arms around, trying to get free. Raynes moves with her and pulls back as the crowd looks on booing.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes attacking Polly Pingotti! What the hell? Last week, they were both going after Blake!”

Raynes keeps pulling Polly back and Polly keeps fighting before Raynes forces her down to the mat and scissors her with his legs. He pulls back as Polly starts to fade. She reaches out a few more times, each attempt getting lighter and lighter before her arm drops. Raynes keeps the hold on.

Sharper: “We need help! Polly is out! Raynes is still choking her out!”

The crowd boos as Polly is no longer moving, passed out from the hold. The bell sounds again as Raynes keeps the hold on. The official runs over and tries to get him off before Raynes finally lets go. He pushes Polly off and slowly gets up. Lohan, holding her jaw, steps forward and looks at him. Raynes then turns and steps past Lohan and drops down to the floor. The crowd looks on, booing.

Knots: “Something got to Raynes!”

Sharper: “What the hell did? Raynes has just left Polly down and out!”

Raynes continues to walk to the back as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown returns as we see Jaina Lancaster with the Shinigami Foundation. She looks on with a bit of disgust as Jamison Frost stands forward with Wil Pierce and Alex Belmont behind.

Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I am here with the Shinigami Foundation and Jamison Frost, you asked for some time as you wanted to clear the air on some things-“

Jamison: “Jaina…I know this is going to be tough for you, but I don’t really care. I can feel the anger you have as your aunt Bree fell at the hands of Wil and Alex. And now she out of action and that is just one of the examples of what happens when people cross us. We force them to make mistakes and one way or another they fall!”

Jamison turns to the camera as Jaina turns away, biting her tongue.

Jamison: “But while Lancaster is a body are our feet, we still have plans for several other groups that require a response and a recognition that they disrespect us for their complete state of being. Hollywood….Shining Maidens…At least the European Fiery Nation stand for something. The Maidens and Hollywood are merely children cosplaying as wrestler and slapping the face of an entire industry. EXPLOSION! SCANDAL! Pathetic! And in need of extermination!”

Jamison shakes his head.

Jamison: “But perhaps it is something that needs to focus on the head. Amelia and Luz…please don’t take this the wrong way. You carry yourself well. I know the legacies both of you stand for in your respective family. This is not something we say personally. But we do fear whether you have the fortitude to deal with these challenges when the barbarians are at the gates. And the barbarians at this point are individuals that ensure whatever legacy you’ve carved out, we’ve carved out, we ALL fight to preserve is wasted away.”

Pierce then leans forward.

Pierce: “David…focus on the Underground. Do it. You know it’s what’s best for you and we’ll handle the tag division.”

Jamison: “Light in the Darkness…you unfortunately need to be pushed aside. That way all roads in the tag division run through us. And we will destroy and cut the fat of from it…and rebuild it as it should be!”

Jaina sighs as the crowd boos.

Jaina: “Back to ringside.”

The scene cuts back to the announce table.

Sharper: “Shinigami Foundation challenging Light in the Darkness. But it’s not about respect. They want the titles to force the teams they’ve had an issue with to have to fight them.”

Knots: “They’ve fought them just…in their own way. Hollywood used the triple threat. Shining Maidens just did what they did.”

Sharper: “Or they want to use those titles for their own machinations. It’s an old school way and champions have a lot of influence, especially in certain promotions in the past.”

Knots: “We’ve seen it with Selena-“

Sharper: “That’s a different situation, but maybe the Shinigami Foundation hopes to use the titles to eliminate teams they don’t feel represents this sport well!”

Sharper and Knots both look up as Ghost’s “Jesus He Knows Me” plays throughout the arena. The crowd erupts before starting to boo loudly.

Knots: “Is that?”

Sharper: “It is…”

The cameras cut to the stage as Simon Lyman walks out from the back, arms outstretched. He smiles and continues to walk, glancing behind him for good measure before heading to the ring.

Sharper: “Simon Lyman is back. First time we’ve seen him since Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “And of course, Amy Chastaine is in New Orleans. Taking time away after an intense couple of months. I don’t think it’s a coincidence!”

Simon Lyman walks down the rampway and over to the steel steps. He smiles and nods before walking up the steel steps and then into the ring. He extends his arms as he looks around and then walks in a circle, making sure to give attention to all parts of the arena. He then goes over to the corner, demanding a microphone. Phillips hands him it and Lyman takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring.

Lyman: “Don’t you all worry…”

Lyman smirks.

Lyman: “Your Savior is here!”

The crowd boos,

Lyman: “I know it has been some time since the whore managed to temporarily stop my duty. But I am back and I will ensure that all of you have the opportunity to be saved…the opportunity to walk with me as I return home!”

Lyman looks around, eyes darting around.

Lyman: “If anyone thinks that Rise to Greatness has changed anything, it has not. I just am focused on the bigger picture. While Amy Chastaine came and failed, it is necessary to move on…there are bigger issues. Bigger problems. Bigger challenges where I can save all of you from their consequences.”

Lyman looks around.

Lyman: “And I could not stay away any longer. I have healed the wounds from that vindictive bitch’s actions and I have steeled my mind for the fight that is ahead. Nothing can stop me from being your savior!”

Lyman continues to glance around, his eyes darting, almost scanning the arena. The crowd is booing.

Lyman: “Without the chief liars around, I can ensure that my message is heeded. That the people who need help get it. That it will be without interference….and I will-“:

“Whoa is Me” by Down With Webster plays as the crowd roars. Lyman turns to him. Gavin limps out from the back, still feeling the effects of going through the table earlier. Lyman then turns around to look behind him before turning back. Gavin steps forward, microphone in his hand.

Gavin: “Lyman!”

Lyman: “Gavin…I hope this is what I hope. You wish to be saved. Wish to be helped. I’ve seen your floundering since you lost your way last year and –“

Gavin: “I am thinking nothing of the sort. The All-Star may need some help but it’s not from you.”

Lyman: “Don’t make a mistake, friend. Don’t make a mistake-“

Gavin: “The only one who has made mistakes is your, Lyman….”

The crowd roars.

Gavin: “I realize that I just got my ass-kicked earlier, part of the problem of me taking on a bit too much, trying to force my way back to the top and I deserved it, but you…you seem to still not get the hint. Even after Amy Chastaine took two chairs and made your head the sandwich filling!”

Gavin paces a bit.

Gavin: “I had hoped it would knock some sense into you. That you’d stay away, but you haven’t and maybe this is where I need to recognize something I should’ve last year…and that THIS year, I don’t focus on delivering a message. I help you, Lyman.”

Lyman: “I don’t need help-“

Gavin: “Yes you do. And I’m happy to give a hands-on session Lyman. Two weeks from now in Detroit – Under Attack. Show your face there and I’ll make sure I do what I should’ve done a year ago and that’s end this BS!”

Lyman: “In Detroit….really, Gavin…fine…practically home…and maybe finally, you’ll understand your own limitations!”

Lyman drops the microphone. Gavin watches, almost a bit surprised, as Lyman turns and exits the ring. He then looks around before walking over to the barricade.

Sharper: “Lyman accepting the challenge of Gavin Taylor!”

Knots: “Lyman’s just out of here!”

Sharper: “He’s going through the crowd. Why?”

Lyman climbs over the barricade and then grabs the security guard, saying something to him. The guard then steps forward and starts to lead Lyman through the crowd. Gavin just shakes his head as he turns away. Lyman continues through the crowd.

The cameras cut back to Gavin, who then looks at the floor, as we see Andrew Raynes down on his back. The crowd roars as Polly Pingotti is on him, hammering away on him with hard right hands. Raynes covers up as Polly keeps getting shots in. We then see officials running out and trying to stop this.

Sharper: “Polly attacking Andrew Raynes! Polly hammering away. Revenge for what Raynes just did-“

Knots: “Why was he there?!”

Sharper: “I don’t know!”

Knots: “Raynes did attack Simon Lyman at Rise to Greatness. Maybe he was going to do something.”

Sharper: “A good point. And Polly attacking him.”

Raynes slides back as officials pull Polly off.

Pingotti: “Let me go! Let me the fuck go!”

Raynes just starts to get up and snaps at Pingotti.

Raynes: “You had to get involved there!”

Pingotti: “You serious?! You attack me and…”

Polly then steps forward, held back as officials keep both back from one another. The crowd roars as the scene fades out.

Ace Marshall vs. Billy Heaven Jr.

Do it baby! Do what I should think!
Do it-do it baby, do what I could think!

The opening polyphonic strokes of Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” hit the PA, and the crowd immediately turns to boos. The stage lights intensify in brightness. Through the light, we can see the outline of an emerging competitor.

Sharper: “Looks like we’re about to be graced with the presence of the walking Human Resources violation to kick off this contest.”

Knots: “Hey, that’s the son of William Heaven. He may not have likability, but he makes up for it in daddy’s money, that much has been made apparent.”

I AIN’T EVER REP A SET BABY!

A two-step through the light and into the ramp, Billy Heaven pops onto the scene in his wrestling gear, a very large pair of sunglasses on his face.

I AIN’T DO NO WRONG!

A shimmy and a hard stop.

I COULD CLEAN UP GOOD FOR YA! OH I KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG!

A sharp three-hundred degree pivot on the ball of his foot, a crisp landing in a split-legged stance, left hand pointing to the sky.

‘CAUSE I WANNA MAKE IT, SO BADLY!

A sharp return of his upward pointed hand into an intense pump, thrust, and strut forward. As he does so, a shapely blonde figure emerges from behind the curtain, sunglasses on, texting on her phone, before tucking it into the waistband of her shorts. She smiles at Billy and latches onto his bicep.

I’M A MILLION DOLLA BAYBAY, DON’T AT ME!

And with that said, Billy Heaven Jr. obnoxiously smiles pointing to the crowd as he makes his way down to the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope, outstretched arms to receive his less than warm ovation, but it does not seem to register. He takes the sunglasses off and sets them on the top turnbuckle before standing on the second rope, leg over the top, bringing his hands together in a prayer. “Milllon Dollar Baby” dies out.

Knots: “Wow. Would you look at that? It looks like Billy has some arm candy. A girlfriend, perhaps?”

Sharper: “Doubtful. In any event, The Fall of Man never seems to walk alone and in the stead of William Heaven comes something that is guaranteed to preoccupy Billy more than it’ll keep him focused.”

Knots: “Look at her. She’s gorgeous, Sharper. How does this yahoo manage to swing this?”

An emergency siren begins to go off, as a black and grey WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT appears on the screen.

Sharper: “Business is about to pick up for young Billy.”

Knots: “Adrenalize me! Here we go!”

"ADRENALIZE ME"

The crowd roars as "Adrenalize" begins to play throughout the arena. Blue and green strobe lights begin spinning over the arena. The crowd cheers as Ace Marshall steps out on stage with Sophie James beside him. He raises his arms up at the top of the stage, before casually strolling down the ramp. Sophie throws back the hood she is wearing and makes a gesture pointing at Ace in front of a camera as if making a sell's pitch.

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by Sophie James, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, ACE MAAARSHALL!"

Ace slides into the ring under the bottom rope. Sophie walks over to the other side of the ring while smirking as Ace quickly walks over to the corner where she is before standing on the second turnbuckle. He throws his arms up once more for the crowd. Dropping down he casually leans back comfortably into the corner, smiling across the ring.

Knots: “Ace Marshall might see a more obnoxious, privileged version of himself out there, and if we’re lucky, he doesn’t have fond memories of those days.”

Sharper: “Ace has evolved over the years. Boston is where he makes his return to SCW Breakdown. He’s one of the best to ever lace them up. Let’s hope he teaches this young man some humility here tonight.”

The bell sounds as both competitors step forward. Billy jawjacks something indistinguishable across the ring. Ace smiles. Then, Billy extends a fist out towards Ace, looking down at it, then to Ace.

Heaven Jr: “Come on, dawg. Dap me up. Billy Bands is a king of sport. Let’s have a good match, bro.”

Ace smirks.

Marshall: “I loved you in Superbad, but I already watched you leave the bathroom, and you didn’t wash your hands. I think I’ll pass.”

Billy smiles, then pulls his hand back and runs it through his hair as if he tricked Ace altogether.

Heaven Jr: “OHHHH! My boy just got PUNKED! Hey, Petya! Did you see that? Got ‘eem!”

Sharper: “Oh, for heaven’s sake. No pun intended.”

Knots: “Ace refusing to touch that man’s hands and judging by the way he talks to our female athletes and personnel, that’s probably wise.”

Billy shrugs and steps forward, smiling. He crow hops into a collar and elbow tie with Ace. Ace immediately is able to power Billy into the buckle. Ace pushes his hands into Billy’s face, smiling the whole time. Billy launches himself through the second and third ropes, forcing the ref to count the break.

Heaven Jr: “Get this lunatic off me! AHHHH!”

Ref: 1!
2!
3!
4!

Ace lets go and puts his hands off, listening to the caution from the ref. While he does that, Billy steps forward with a sucker punch to the side of the face. Ace puts his hand to his face, then looks at Billy with a grin.

Heaven Jr: “Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sor—”

Ace levels Billy with a straight right hand that sends Billy crashing the mat, drawing a roar of approval from the crowd! Billy rises to his feet quickly. Another hard right, Billy back to the mat. Billy rolls out of the ring, holding his face. He looks up in pain at Ace, who stands close to the ropes, looking at Billy. Billy waves his hands at the match as the ref begins to count him out. Billy circles the ring and comes up on the blonde woman he identified as Petya.

Heaven Jr: “Baby girl, he HIT me.”

Petya: “I told you to stop calling me that.”

Ref: 1!

2!

Heaven Jr: “Ain’t you wanna give a young king a little smooch? Anything? Make it better?”

Petya: “Get in the ring, Billy.”

Ref: 3!

4!

Heaven Jr: “Awww, come on. Heaven ain’t in the skies, girl. It’s AHHHHHHH!”

Ace has Billy by the hair now, dragging him up to the apron. When Billy gets to the apron, he grabs Ace frantically by the back of the head and drives his throat across the top rope. Billy is back on the ground, shaking his head. Then, he looks into the ring, then to the crowd, then hurriedly slides back into the ring on top of Ace Marshall, raining down a series of blows of his own as the ref counts him down.

Knots: “I don’t even think this clown knew what he did to Ace!”

Sharper: “But now look at him! He’s making it count. Like a damned wild-eyed hyena.”

The ref forces the break. Billy gets up and taunts the crowd. They rain the boos down hard on him. He smiles as Ace gets to a knee. He shakes it off. Billy goes to bring Ace to his feet, but Ace immediately throws his hands up, rebuffing Billy, before delivering a thunderous slap to Billy’s face! Billy staggers back, holding his jaw. And then, Ace twists, pivots his weight into his hip, and repeats the offense with a discuss slap to Billy’s face that drops him right to the mat!

Sharper: “That had to have felt good.”

Knots: “Sophie James approves. Billy looks like he’s never been hit before. Look at him! He’s stunned!”

Ace brings Billy to his feet. Grabbing him by his arm, he pushes him into the corner, and then violently slings him across the ring into the opposite buckle. Billy groans as he hits the corner with a wicked crack before he falls face-first to the mat. The crowd oh’s. The camera catches Petya putting a hand over her eyes, turning to the side and looking away.

Knots: “Did you hear that, Sharper? Good god.”

Sharper: “Ace Marshall looking to take young Billy to school here today. A place he obviously didn’t pay enough attention in as a kid.”

Knots: “I don’t know if either of them did, to be fair.”

Ace smiles as Billy clutches the small of his back. He brings Billy to his feet and sets him into the ropes. Back-body drop by Ace! Billy gets planted on the mat with a thud. Ace taking his time now. He grabs Billy under the ribs, tucking his own head under Billy’s arm, brings him to his feet, and plants him with a bridging Northern Lights Suplex.

Ref: 1!

2!

Billy kicks out. He rolls to the ropes. Ace confirms with the official that it was only a two before shrugging and bringing Billy to his feet. He sends him into the corner again. Clothesline into the corner by Ace! Billy flops out of the corner onto his chest. The crowd voices its approval as Ace circles the fallen Billy, grabbing him around his neck.

Sharper: “A series of high impact moves there driving the wind out of Billy. That Suplex, a staple of Ace Marshall’s game. This is Billy’s first single’s test in SCW. Hell of a way to start things off.”

Knots:”Ace is just treating Billy like a rag doll in there.”

On our screen, we see William Heaven in gorilla, flanked by Waylon Creek and James Evans. William watches intently. James smirks.

Sharper: “And look who it is. James Evans has a long history with Ace Marshall. He knows exactly what Ace is capable of.”

Back to the ring, a double-arm backbreaker by Ace Marshall drives Billy across his knee. Billy rolls over, holding his back. Ace makes a lateral press.

Ref: 1!

2!

Shoulder up by Billy Heaven. Billy grimaces in agony and groans. Ace back at it now. Vertical Suplex by Ace. Billy lands on the mat with another groan. He rolls out of the ring and slumps to the floor.

Knots: “Billy Heaven Jr. ceding the ring to Ace. Not his worst move.”

Sharper: “No, it isn’t, Jonathan, but I don’t think Ace is going to let that happen!”

As Billy tries to collect himself, Ace rolls out under the ring on the other side. Ace charges in with a shoulder block that levels Billy Heaven straight off his feet. He lands hard on the floor.

Ref: 1!

2!

Ace: “Hey, on the bright side, at least you’ve got swag, right?”

Ace lifts him up and goes to hook him into a vertical suplex position. He hoists him up and leaves him up in the air.

Ref: 3!

4!

Sharper: “Marshall looking for a brain buster! Billy Heaven may not be able to use his Trios contract by the time Ace is finished here!”

Billy slips out at the last possible second, lands behind Ace, and pushes him face first into the ring post. Billy flops to the floor, holding his back. Ace hits the ring post hard and falls over. Billy rolls to the side to collect himself, Petya urging him to get to his feet.

Ref: 5!

Knots: “Billy with a move out of sheer desperation! That’ll turn the tides.”

Sharper: “Ace straight into that ring post after the beginning of a dominant return to Breakdown. And now Billy has an opening he desperately needs to take.”

Ref: 6!

Billy scampers to his feet as Ace crawls towards the apron, moving slowly. Billy launches himself into Ace with a stiff kick to the ribs. (7!)
He still grimaces and steps off, holding his back. He once more drives his foot into Ace’s side. Ace rolls onto his back, face puckered up. Billy begins to clap in Ace’s face. (8!) Billy picks Ace up and slides him into the ring. Ace rolls towards the center. Billy climbs onto the apron.

Knots: “Billy Heaven is just mocking Ace Marshall now like he’s been in control of this fight.”

Sharper: “The kicks to Ace’s midsection seem to have less strategy and more spite in them. But now Billy needs to zero in and not use this time to boast!”

Billy vaults onto the top rope and dives off in a leg drop, making solid contact with the back of Ace’s neck. He makes the cover!

Ref: 1!

2!

Kick Out by Ace. Billy stands up and bows to the crowd. They meet him with immediate boos. Billy smirks as he mounts Ace and begins driving a series of right hands into his head. The ref makes an attempt to break it up, and Billy puts his hands up. The ref steps back and then Billy immediately begins throwing more hands. The referee urgently interjects in the punching, dragging Billy off. Billy gets a warning as the crowd boo’s. Sitting on his backside, Billy smiles.

Heaven Jr: “Ayeee. Girl. That ain’t bad, huh?”

Petya shakes her head and continues to point at Ace, reminding Billy to focus. He looks at her then nods. Billy gives a hard stomp to Ace as he tries to get up. Ace rolls to the side. Billy goes on the offensive, approaching Ace.

Sharper: “I’d hate to say it, but it was a nice athletic maneuver by Billy Heaven Jr. there. That leg drop has Ace reeling right now.”

Knots: “Generational wealth, a beautiful woman at his side, and now, fantastic athleticism. Some guys really do get it all, Sharper.”

Sharper: “Oh, let’s hope that Billy Heaven gets it, alright.”

He grabs Ace and sends him into the corner. Running knee-lift into the corner by Billy. Ace doubles over. Billy is in a striking position now. He throws a stiff kick into Ace’s chest with a trailing foot. Ace steps off, holding the top rope. Billy follows up with another hard kick as Ace is trying to get away. Billy attempts an Irish Whip. Ace goes with the momentum, but twists out of it, wrapping both his arms around Billy’s waist. He lifts Billy up, who screams the whole time, and tucks his head, dropping him with a Cradle DDT! The crowd oh’s and applauds as Billy rolls over flat on his back. Ace takes a moment to collect himself.

Sharper: “Cradle DDT! Veteran move by Ace Marshall! That could do it! The cover!”

Ref: 1!

Thr—

Billy’s foot makes the ropes in the Knick of time. Billy stares up straight at the lights, not moving at all. Ace brings himself to his feet, shaking off the brief flurry of offense.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall sustained the brief flurry from Billy, and now he’s right back in the driver’s seat.”

Knots: “This could end up disastrously for Billy. If I were him, I’d take that woman home with him and call it a night.”

Sharper: “There isn’t a woman alive that wants that.”

Ace smiles as he gets to his feet. Billy looks out of it. Ace gives him a few pats on the cheek.

Ace: “Young Kings still need naps, huh?”

Ace brings him to his feet. Saito suplex by Ace. Billy rolls off limp into the middle of the ring. The crowd oh’s as Ace rolls over to make the cover, pressing Billy’s shoulders into the ground.

A defiant kick-out by Billy, though considerably weaker. Ace shakes his head and drags Billy to his feet, going right back to work. He sends Billy for a ride, and when Billy comes back around, he looks for the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! But Billy rolls through and hits a head scissors take over. Ace tumbles across the ring, but is able to get to his feet. When he does, Billy bounds off the ropes in a back handspring and connects with a kardiac kick! Both competitors are down!

Knots: “What?!”

Sharper: “Billy has found this match to be slim pickings, but that was a great shot and it looks to have the former World Champion stunned!”

Ref: 1!

Ace stirs first. Billy rolls to his stomach, still feeling the effects of Ace’s offense.

Ace nearly there. Billy on his hands, face clenched, a little bit of movement.

5!

Ace up to his feet now. Billy slumps back to the mat, holding his back. He begins to call for the ref. The ref goes to check on him.

Knots: “Billy Heaven may be hurt here.”

Sharper: “Ace has tried to target that back, and Billy has had very few answers for Ace Marshall here tonight.”

Ace stands over the ref as Billy shakes his head. The referee backs away and allows the action to continue. Ace shrugs and goes back down to grab Billy, but Billy pulls him over into an inside cradle!

Knots: “Possum! Watch out for that possum!”

Ref: 1!

3….NO! Ace kicks out. The crowd oh’s as Billy holds his head in frustration.

Sharper: “I cannot BELIEVE this hooligan. What is wrong with him? Pretending to be injured and pulling a stunt like that.”

Knots: “That’s the sport for you, Sharper. Those who can, will. And Billy Heaven certainly can pull fast ones!”

Heaven Jr: “That’s three! I win! C’mon!”

The ref shakes their head no, holding up the two. Billy slaps the mat. The crowd gives a collective hum as Ace Marshall stands up over Billy, just staring down at him. It takes Billy a minute, but then he realizes he doesn’t see Ace. Then, he looks up.

Heaven Jr: “Oh…uh…hey, look, it’s a miracle! I’m FEAHHHHHHHH!”

Ace grabs him by his hair, lifts him to his feet, arms flailing, and drills him with an uppercut. Down goes Heaven. He lifts Billy up and sends him off the ropes, and when he comes back, he nails a perfectly executed tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Billy is down now. No cover from Ace. Ace brings him to his feet and drives him into the corner. Billy has no resistance. He mounts the second rope and looks out to the crowd, who are roaring their approval. Ace smirks and begins to throw stiff shots into Billy.

Finally, the ref breaks it up. The crowd applauds as Ace grabs Billy by the back of the head and tosses him into the middle of the ring.

Knots: “Is it just me or did the referee allow a little leeway there?”

Sharper: “Billy certainly has taken some liberties. Why can’t Ace? Karmic justice!”

Ace waits for his opponent to get up. Billy is slow to his feet. Ace waits in the corner, crouched down. At that moment, Petya climbs up into the apron and begins to argue with the official. Ace keeps one eye on her and one eye on Billy. Then, she makes eyes at Ace, giving him a coy little wave. Ace’s face furrows up into a confused, disgusted scowl, sticking his tongue out as if vomiting.

Ace: “I don’t have any penicillin on hand. Sorry.”

Knots: “It makes sense now, Adam! This is Billy’s equalizer!”

Sharper: “But Ace isn’t buying it at all. Look at how appalled he is!”

Sophie James steps in at that moment and yanks the woman off the apron. She lands hard on the floor, her phone goes tumbling into the barricade. She looks absolutely shocked that Sophie put her hands on her. Inside the ring, Ace sizes up a Billy who staggers to his feet. He runs forward and executes a beautiful Baisuku Knee!

Knots: “One Eye’d Royal!”

Sharper: “Say goodnight to the clown show! Mercifully, this one is over!”

Ref: 1!

3!

The referee calls for the bell as Billy Heaven is motionless in the ring. The referee raises Ace’s hand as Sophie climbs up the steps to join him in celebration. He smirks and looks down at Billy, who lays out like a starfish.

Ace: “Nice try.”

“Adrenalize” plays through the arena as Ace and Sophie leave. Temporarily on our screen we see William Heaven rubbing the sides of his head. James whispers something to him. William sighs and nods, giving him a look. Waylon just stares at the screen, arms folded. Back in the ring, Petya attempts to reorient an out of it Billy Heaven.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Destiny Page standing in the SCW interview area.

Page: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Destiny Page here and I can announce to you that CHBK has signed the match between Gavin Taylor and Simon Lyman for Under Attack and-“

Dexter Grant walks into the scene, slow clapping. He then sighs.

Grant: “Another day and another day where a weak man showcases that they only really are thinking about one thing – their pathetic desire to be liked. I had hoped that Gavin Taylor would at least reconsider and maybe just move on. Instead, he has to taunt me with that pathetic drivel that is a hashtag…what a stupid invention. And to talk of trending…while SCW’s loudmouth announcers parrot it hoping to cash in on the trend, but most obvious of all is taking the moment to ride the coattails of a man who has explicitly used social media to share his pseudo-religious tripe, hoping to get people to follow him and walk with him and Gavin has marched along chasing online phrase instead of actually bettering himself!”

Page: “Well Gavin and Simon have a long history-“

Grant: “Does any of that matter? Is not social media abuzz-“

Page: “Well-“

Grant: “Don’t tell me. I don’t need to poison myself even thinking about it more. All that I’ve learned is Gavin Taylor is as pathetic as they come; Simon Lyman is not better. And don’t get me started about you and the photos Wendell has told me about in his research. Such a shallow group in this promotion. Even newcomers and legends alike, they return and flock to social media to get a bunch of mouthbreathers to like their post. Just disappointment all around.”

Grant shakes his head.

Grant: “Don’t worry. One person at a time…I will fight as hard as I can to force people to break the habit. It must be done.”

Grant then walks off as Page looks at him stunned as the scene cuts back to the ring.

Selena Frost vs. Scott Reed

The arena goes dark and a voice can be heard saying ”And the story goes…a young man will come…to save the universe from the forces of evil…

The voice dies down for a few moments before “I Will” by Eminem featuring KXNG Crooked, Royce da 5'9" & Joell Ortiz kicks in.

“And I don't think that I can stop it, here it comes…I do my best to try to block it, redrum…I've been sipping on like, vodka, head's numb...I'm blacking out, you better watch it, it's bedlam…”

The lights come back on and Scott Reed steps out from the entrance way, the crowd erupting in cheers.

“I thought I heard a voice in my head that said, "Kill"
I had no other choice that was left except fill
My pencil full of poisonous lead, the devil
He wants me to murder this beat, so I will”

Reed makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with fans along the way. He reaches the ring and goes up the ring steps. Going across the apron, he looks out at the crowd once again as they continue to cheer. Climbing into the ring, Reed goes to the center.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, introducing, hailing from New York City, New York…he is…Scott! Reed!”

“He told me there are doubters who question my skill
They wanna put my style to the test, am I still
The best? They want the crown on my head, I said, "Chill
If you want me to murder this beat, then I will"

Reed climbs up to the top rope and points to the center of his chest, mouthing the words, ‘I will’ as the music dies down. Hopping down from the turnbuckle, he leans into the corner, waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Scott Reed leaving his position as a road agent thanks to what he felt was Selena Frost gaining too favourable of decisions from CHBK. Since then, he’s always been critical of the former World Champion.”

Knots: “Wanted her at Trios. Nearly got her, but Selena used it to her advantage. How her team got to the finals!”

Sharper: “Tonight, it’s one on one though. And after, Reed has Ace Marshall at Under Attack!”

BELIEVE IT... OR NOT!

"Thank You for Hating Me!" by Citizen Soldier plays throughout the arena, the SCW Universe deafening the song with their boos. The lights shift to dark purple and blue, filling the arena as snow is seen “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back, walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe with a smirk.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Nome, Alaska by way of Manhattan, New York, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as she turns to her side and lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm upward. With a lift of her front foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring!

Lowering her arm, the Blue-Eyed Devil walks down the ramp, her steps leaving footprints in the “snow” under her feet. Reaching the ring, Selena goes up the steps and under the ropes to enter it. Once inside and in the center of the ring, she stands still, confident and powerful, as the lights form to make a massive blue and black snowflake under her and the purple and blue lights. Raising her hand back up, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a wicked smirk graces her lips. With a slam of her foot, Selena causes the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out purple streaks of light from the turnbuckle the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “Not the main event, Selena. But still important.”

Knots: “Hear her say earlier, Scott deserved the main event.”

Sharper: “Scott even agreed, but then took issue with Selena’s claims and demands. He just wanted the match more than anything.”

The bell sounds. Selena Frost shakes her head as Scott Reed looks at her and slaps his face to get focused. They then head to one another and Selena drops down and around each other and into a waistlock. Reed reaches around and Selena spins through and hits a fireman’s carry takedown and into a side headlock. Reed starts to get up, getting his legs under him and Selena holds on and Reed tries to push out, but Selena nails him with a hard right and then another before turning into an arm wrench.

Reed kicks out. Selena turns and grabs Reed and pulls him up, but just then, Reed pulls her in and hits an exploder suplex into the corner. Reed sits up, wincing and then flexing, getting the crowd behind him.

Sharper: “Reed pulled her in. Knew where he was.”

Knots: “Selena got a bit lackadaisical! Gotta focus on him. He’s wanted this.”

The scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Balke Mason vs. Josh Hudson

The lights go out. A few moments later, a white spotlight shines at the top of the ramp. In that spotlight we see a man wearing a robe that "Blake Mason Experience" embroidered in white. The lights to the rest of the arena come back on, the chorus to "The Night" by Disturbed echoes through the loud speaker. Blake Mason still has his back turned to the camera. He then turns around. Blake heads to the ring at a methodical pace. Reaching the steel steps, he walks up them, on to the apron, steps into the ring. Blake steps onto the middle turnbuckle with his arms outstretched as if he's basking in his own glory. He takes off his robe; hops down. He immediately hits the ropes, then stops in the center of the ring. He drops down to his knees and points up to the sky before he stands upright. He walks over to the nearest corner to rest comfortably.

Sharper: “Blake Mason demanding this match. Calling our Hudson. We found out more about the alleged agreement between him and Heaven.”

Knots: “Heaven doesn’t agree with his telling.”

Sharper: “Nonetheless, Boston, Massachusetts. This is Blake’s home. And he wanted his title shot. He plans to do anything he can to take it home tonight.”

“Duality” blares through the PA system.

"I push my fingers into my eyes..."

The cameras show the crowd who begin cheering before zooming in at the entrance way, where Josh Hudson steps out, holding the SCW World Championship.

"It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on...I'm not gonna make it!"

He wears a sleeveless black hoodie as he slowly makes his way down the ramp. He reaches the bottom of the ramp, and he looks out to the crowd before making his way up the ring steps and climbs into the ring.

"I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now, all I do is live with so much hate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then, I swear, I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice..."

He goes to the bottom right-hand corner, climbing to the top rope.

"I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
