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 the Fall of Man standing tall. 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 Enigma, 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 the Glimmer Sisters making her entrance. Konrad Raab punching Ace Marshall in a steel cage is shown next, before we see Light in the Darkness hitting Wisteria Waltz against an opponent. Lexy Chapel is then shown showing off Syren. Amy Chastaine posing follows before we see James Evans powerbombing La Pequena Luz off the top rope.

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

Shots of Deanna Frost, Ryan LeCavalier, Waylon Creek, Xander Valentine, and Meghan Strader are shown before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the ExtraMile Arena in Boise, Idaho. 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: “After a raucous week where SCW held two huge events, we come to you live for Breakdown from the Midwest!”

The cameras continue to pan throughout the crowd before settling at ringside where we see Adam Sharper joined by Devon Kayl.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to ringside. Adam Sharper here with Devon Kayl. And it was a big week. We have Trios Tournament winners. Cid Turner managed to survive his World Championship challenge against Glory Braddock. Some in the roster are more relaxed from our sojourn to KABLAMia.”

Kayl: “Glimmers definitely. Career defining week for them. Gina has a Trios contract. Still World Tag Team Champions. But Gavin Taylor better run!”

Sharper: “We also have a new US Champion – Meghan Strader defeated La Pequena Luz at Under Attack. So much to go here tonight. Selena Frost in action. She’s supposed to be a tag match against the EFN, but will she find a partner?”

Kayl: “I have a feeling we’re going to see her be as stubborn as ever, Adam.”

The opening of “Shot from a Cannon” can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera pans to the entrance as James Evans walks out from the back. The crowd boos seeing him as he looks around the arena. He just ignores the crowd, starting to head to the ring.

Ten minutes in he's sweating
Should I have asked for more than fame?
Ignore that beast, he's smiling
It's not 'til next New Year's Eve

Sharper: “James Evans was part of the victorious team for the 2025 Trios Tournament. Evans, Enigma, Gina Glimmer…they’re your winners. And they earned the Trios Tournament contracts.”

Kayl: “And Evans has already cashed his in. He took advantage of the direct involvement of Frank Delatosso, the president of the investors group financing SCW, and handed him the signed contract directly. Was supposed to be a photo op, but here we are.”

Sharper: “And we believe he will face Cid Turner in Montreal on December 14. SCW’s final show in 2025.”

James continues to walk to the ring. He reaches it and walks up the steel steps and then along the apron. He then enters the ring, the crowd continuing to boo him. He walks across the ring, going over to the corner, where a microphone has been placed waiting for him.

Kayl: “Not only that, but no Fall of Man. Not with him at Under Attack. Not tonight.”

Sharper: “Waylon Creek suspended indefinitely. The question now is what about Ryan LeCavalier. And we know Amy Chastaine has been watching James too. Nothing resolved there.”

Evans grabs the microphone and walks over to the middle of the ring. He looks around, peering through the crowd, as his music fades out. Evans continues to scan the crowd before slowly bringing the microphone to his mouth.

Evans: “The end will be December 14^th!”

The crowd boos as Evans looks around.

Evans: “The Cinderella story is going to strike midnight, and it’s not going to be just the issue of the carriage turning into a pumpkin. I will kill Cid Turner in that ring, if I must!”

The crowd boos loudly.

Evans: “He says he’s going to die there. He says that’s what someone will need to do if they are to take the World Championship from his hands. Well I am up for the challenge. Because the ink is dried, the decision has been made, and it is confirmed.”

Evans walks around the ring.

Evans: “No…Syren, you’re not next in line. And you may want to reconsider it entirely. I have no problem dismantling people who should be long done in this sport. I have no problem spilling blood to make my case.”

Evans pauses again.

Evans: “Amy…you couldn’t stop a damn thing. And I am now one win away from your worst nightmare, while you’re forced to watch.”

Evans chuckles a bit.

Evans: “In fact everyone will need to pay attention, because I am going to shattered this deluded reality that Cid Turner has put forward. There is no Cinderella story happening here. The man just got lucky and no one was willing to pull him out of his own stupor. And if he wants to hold onto the World Championship, he’s going to have to do more than just hope he can survive and get lucky with a hold…he’s going to have to find whatever is left of the carcass of the Hall of Famer he once was. Because I will chew him up, I will spit him out, and then I will destroy him before taking the World Championship back and putting it around my waist.”

Evans looks around.

Evans: “And I won’t need to deal with people holding me back this time. Because my vision will come through. I have the match I want. I stand here alone. The Fall of Man is done. They finally imploded. And that means, Cid...”

Evans looks at the camera.

Evans: “Montreal. December 14. Cid Turner, James Evans…A Shattered Reality awaits…and nothing will stop it!”

Sharper: “What does that mean? He keeps using that phrase.”

Kayl: “He’s just going to end the Cinderella story?”

Sharper: “He’s said that though. This is Cid’s reality.”

Evans smiles.

???: “There’s a long time between now and then, James!”

Evans turns as we see Amy Chastaine walk out on the floor, microphone in hand. She then looks at the ring.

Chastaine: “And now that I don’t need to play nice because people don’t want their little tournaments ruined…all that means is I’m on the clock.”

Chastaine then runs to the rampway and climbs up onto it. The crowd roars as James Evans turns as Chastaine runs down to the ring. Evans just tells her to come. Chastaine slides in.

Sharper: “Well Amy Chastaine is going to test what James had to say!”

Kayl: “And here we go. They’ve fought all over rings all over the country!”

Chastaine gets up and Evans steps up and Chastaine nails him with a hard right and then another and another. She kicks him in the ribs and then nails him again and again and again. Evans shoves her off. She stops at the ropes. Evans steps up and Chastaine kicks him again and then again before nailing him with a hard right. The crowd roars. Evans staggers back. Chastaine then positions herself before going for the Lightning Strike. Evans, however, catches the boot. The crowd ohs as Evans smirks. He then pulls her in and clotheslines her down. The crowd boos. Amy rolls over and starts to try to fight to get up. She gets up and Evans kicks her in the ribs. He then elbows her in the back of the head. Amy drops to a knee and Evans then grabs her and throws her back with a mat slam. Evans then leans over as Amy rolls over.

Evans: “You can’t stop me, Amy. I told you that months ago. You can’t seem to listen!”

Evans then grabs Amy and pulls her up.

Sharper: “Taunting Amy as Evans putting everything behind those strikes.”

Kayl: “What’s he doing though? He’s got something in mind.”

Evans then elbows Amy in the back of the head again. He then places her head between his legs. He looks around before Evans hoists Amy up and onto his shoulder. He then runs forward, going to throw her over the top rope, but Amy slides down behind him. She then lands on her feet. Evans turns and Amy hits a Lightning Strike. She collapses to a knee as Evans falls through the ropes to the floor. He backs up to the barricade. We then see officials running down from the back. Dean Black, Lucas Knight, Hiro Tanaka, and Dillusion join them, pairing off. Black and Tanaka go into the ring as Knight and Dillusion go to stop Evans from getting back in. Chastaine gets up and looks at Evans. Black quickly obstructs her. Chastaine starts to talk to Black as Black tries to reason with her. Evans just looks in the ring before yelling at Chastaine. Chastaine turns and snaps at Evans.

Sharper: “Officials out here to keep this from escalation any more!”

Kayl: “Evans was going to powerbomb Chastaine over the top rope!”

Sharper: “Chastaine saving herself, but again, another fight. Nothing resolved. And this continues to go to a fever pitch!”

Evans turns and starts to walk around the ringside area. Chastaine follows in the ring, stopped by Black, Tanaka and other officials. Evans moves to the rampway and starts to head to the back as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown returns as we see Jessica Winters standing with Selena Frost in the backstage area.

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and I’m with Selena Frost. Selena, you said you were going to do what you can to get a shot at the Glimmer Sisters, still the World Tag Team Champions, by the way. But tonight, you’re facing the European Fiery Nation in a tag team match. Selena, you’ve been given the opportunity to choose a partner-“

Selena sighs.

Selena: “Jessica…I don’t need a partner. There are only a few people in this sport who can manage me. I haven’t lost this year by pinfall or submission. People like to hang the Rise to Greatness loss to me…Cid Turner did not pin me. He did not make me tap. No force can stop me when I’m motivated. Tonight, I got it by going over Dean’s head and talking to Delatosso himself. And agrees with me. This is proof of concept.”

Selena turns to the camera.

Selena: “Sorry, EFN. I know you’re hoping to get noticed for the World Tag Team Titles. It’s not happening tonight. Tonight, you’ll just be the latest in a long list of people who have lost to me in the main event. And then, we can stop with the BS. I can handle the Glimmer Sisters. By myself. Tonight, will prove it. BELIEVE IT….or not….”

Selena turns and walks off. Winters turns to the camera.

Winters: “Back to ringside.”

Religious Wright vs. Polly Pingotti

SCW Television Championship

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship! First the challenger, from The Sword of Joshua Full Gospel Pentecostal Temple of Joy Holiness by way of Mt. Judea, Arkansas, he is RELIGIOUS WRIGHT!”

“I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe begins to play. Religious Wright steps out onto the stage wearing a black robe and carrying his Holy Book in his right hand. Along the way down the aisle he stops by some fans. He presses his hand to the foreheads of some fans and shouts “BE HEALED IN THE NAME OF THE LAWD!” Still other fans he throws Holy Water at them and shouts “BE GONE FOUL DEMON FROM THIS SERVANT IN THE NAME OF THE LAWD!” Religious Wright then ascends the steel steps and enters the ring. He steps to the center of the ring and holds up his Holy Book and shouts “CAN I GET AN AMEN MY BROTHAS AND SISTAS OF THE LAWD?!”

Sharper: “Religious Wright getting a TV Title shot and this coming after a week where he made an impact and one that may put a big target on his back.”

Kayl: “He’s with Gavin. He’s with them as their spiritual advisor or so I’m told.”

Sharper: “Doing some research.”

Kayl: “I am an investigative journalist, after all.”

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 wearing a black skirt and matching black halter top, wheeling out a small black wagon with her right hand.  The SCW Television Championships is around her waist. A camera by the stage catches a glimpse of still photos inside the wagon, clearly taken by an instant camera.  A picture of her reaction after what went down at Rise to Greatness is the photo that garnishes the camera’s attention.

Polly stops and stands at the forefront of 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.  The crowd has an aura of uncertainty as they all watch her go.

Phillips: “His opponent, making her way to the ring, from Panguitch, Utah, the SCW Television Champion, Polly Pingotti!!!”

No smile comes to Polly's face as her unmistakable green eyes are just locked on the ring in front of her.  As she arrives at the ring apron, she places her left hand into the left pocket of the black skirt she has on and pulls out a gray stone that has a black dot that appears to have been drawn on it.  She looks very entranced by the stone.  As her music comes back around to the second chorus, she puts the stone back into her pocket and seals the skirt's velcro pocket shut.  Polly then goes to the steel ring steps, parks her small black wagon, and then walks up the steps and gets into the ring.  Once inside the ring she stands right in the middle, closes her eyes, and just stands completely still.  She opens her eyes back up and light on her feet chooses a corner of the ring to wait in.  She hands off her title. The official, Steve Hollinsworth holds it over her head. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen. Polly crosses her arms in front of her and starts tapping her left foot, awaiting the start of the match.

Sharper: “Polly Pingotti still the Television Champion. Not the Adrenaline Champion. Tough match against Dexter Grant, but Grant found a way to keep hold of that title.”

Kayl: “Now she needs to do well in the rest of the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament to get another shot, but in the meantime, she’s got to focus on her title, the TV Title.”

The bell sounds. Polly runs across the ring and nails Wright with a hard right. She blasts him with a second one and then a third before grabbing him and pushing him into the corner. Polly kicks him in the ribs over and over and over again. The crowd roars.

Polly steps away and walks around the ring. Wright grabs at the ropes, starting to pull himself up. He staggers up and Polly runs over and hits a running dropkick. Wright staggers out and falls to the mat. Polly goes for the pin.

Wright kicks out. Polly rolls off as Wright rolls over.

Sharper: “And Pingotti hoping for the quick victory. Not quite. Wright kicking out.”

Kayl: “Guess he wants to make his career great again. Then again, everyone is talking about him.”

Sharper: “And whatever he claims he’s preaching.”

Wright starts to get up and Polly clubs him in the back. She then grabs him and snapmares him down. She then runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hits a dropkick. Wright hits the mat. Polly goes for the pin.

Wright kicks out again. He starts to get up and Polly gets to her feet and runs at him, but Wright grabs her. He then steps up and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex. The crowd ohs and boos. Polly rolls to her stomach and kicks at the mat. Wright get sup and smiles before grabbing her, pulling her up and whipping her across the ring. Polly bounces off and Wright hits a Japanese arm drag. Polly hits the mat. She stirs and Wright jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. He goes for the pin.

2!

Pingotti kicks out. Wright grabs her and locks in an armbar. He then looks around as the crowd boos. Pingotti kicks at the mat.

Sharper” “Wright managing to get some control here. Has the arm. Wearing down the champion.”

Kayl: “Pingotti, just you know is trying to find that drive. She would hate to fall to Wright tonight.”

Pingotti starts to slowly get up, getting her legs under her. Wright holds onto the arm as Pingotti gets to her knees. She then nails Wright in the stomach. She nails him again. Wright clubs her in the back. He runs into the ropes, bouncing off and Polly jumps up and hits a frankensteiner. The crowd roars. Wright turns and slowly gets up and turns to Polly who hits a chick kick. Wright hits the mat. Wright starts to get up to his feet and Polly then reaches into her pocket and then blows dust into the eyes of Wright. Hollinsworth reprimands Polly, but she ignores him and runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a running spinning forearm shot.

Sharper: “And Pingotti bending the rules.”

Kayl: “Well just did it in front of the referee. She’d walk out the champion either way. But Wright now struggling to see.”

Sharper: “Some would say that’s nothing new.”

Wright moves to his hands and knees. He winces, trying to get up and Polly runs into the ropes. She bounces off and then hits the Head Turner. Wright hits the mat. Polly then backs up and steps over him. She grabs him and moves herself into position before pulling up on Wright, locking in the End Game! The crowd roars as Wright yells out. Pingotti keeps pulling back as Wright keep struggling before then tapping out. The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Pingotti keeps the hold on for a moment longer before letting go, throwing Wright down to the mat. Pingotti steps forward.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, and still SCW Television Champion, Polly Pingotti!”

Sharper: “Pingotti retaining. The End Game forcing Religious Wright to tap out!”

Kayl: “Still TV Champion. Start a new streak. It’s what you do. She keeps wanting to push through. She has to keep getting back to those opportunities and even win helps.”

Hollinsworth is handed the SCW Television Championship. He turns and Polly takes the title from him. She then throws the title over her shoulder and looks around. Her music plays throughout the arena as she then looks around at the crowd, thoughts travelling through her head. Just then, the crowd roars as we see Reno Dumont stepping out from the back before David Striker, Dante Slayton, Wil Pierce and Alex Belmont all run down to the ring. Striker slides in as Wright crawls to the ropes and then Striker runs over and stomps away on him as Pierce spins around the ringpost and heads over and nails Wright with a hard right. Slayton enters as does Belmont. Wright rolls to his back as Belmont and Pierce stomp away on Wright. Striker turns and tells Polly to get out of the ring. Pingotti steps up to him as Slayton steps forward. Striker just points as Pingotti just glares at him. Striker then turns back as Belmont and Pierce pull him and lean him against the ropes. Striker heads over and nails Wright with a hard right and then another and another and another. Polly backs away and exits the ring, otherwise not wanting to get involved.

Sharper: “The Shinigami Foundation down here. Reno Dumont leading the way followed by David Striker. You can make the case they’d be World Tag Team Champions if Wright didn’t get involved.”

Kayl: “And now Wright is finding out what happens!”

Sharper: “And Striker wearing out Wright. Pingotti and Striker even having some words.”

Kayl: “Not just wearing out Wright. Bloodying him!”

Wright starts to drop down to a seated position as Striker continues to hammer away on him. The shots open up a cut under Wright’s eye. Striker then steps back, shaking out his fist. Reno climbs onto the apron. He motions as Pierce then grabs Wright and hoists him up as Belmont exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. He then steadies himself as Pierce sets Wright up. Belmont dives off and they drive Wright to the mat with the Disasterpiece.

Sharper: “And Belmont and Wright – the Disasterpiece. Wright laid out!”

Kayl: “Where’s Gavin, huh? Where is he?”

Sharper: “His new lieutenant or gopher or whatever laid out here.”

Belmont gets up as does Pierce. Striker grabs Wright and drags him to the middle of the ring. He stands over him and looks around as Reno Dumont enters the ring. The crowd looks on as Striker looks at the crowd. Wright remains down, in a heap, as the scene cuts away.

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see Wendell looking at his phone. He just looks stunned, his mouth slowly getting more and more open as whatever he looks at shocks him. Dexter Grant then comes into the area and notices Wendell.

Grant: “Wendell…what are you doing?”

Wendell gulps. He then hides the phone.

Wendell: “Nothing.”

Grant: “What did you find?”

Wendell: “Nothing!”

Grant: “Show me…what pathetic quest for likes has someone perpetrated. Deanna Frost now getting people to think she’s the favourite in this God forsaken tournament? People dunking on me for likes for beating Polly-“

Wendell sighs.

Wendell: “It’s me in KABLAMia…”

Wendell hands the phone to Grant. Grant’s eyes widen.

Grant: “Oh…”

Wendell: “It was the bathing suit. And I didn’t realize Destiny would wear something as revealing…I was on international television. How am I going to show my face to her? I…my mind was objectifying her.”

Grant: “Wendell….you found her attractive and sometimes our bodies do things-“

Wendell: “It’s on video! I’m just like those hedonistic leeches and….and….”

Wendell starts to hyperventilate.

Grant: “Wendell…breathing. In and out. In and out. You need to stop and think.”

Wendell nods.

Grant: “If she is the person you think she is…then would she humiliate you for this? Question you? Or understand?”

Wendell looks at Grant.

Grant: “You say she can be convinced of our crusade. You seem to believe in her…”

Wendell: “But what about-“

Grant: “Who gives a damn about anyone else. That’s what we’re fighting against. Don’t waver now. This is where you need to be strong and to think and be rational!”

Wendell nods.

Grant: “Find her and talk to her. I’m going to try and find out how much longer this damn tournament is going.”

Wendell: “Okay…”

Grant goes to walk off.

Wendell: “And Dexter…”

Grant: “Yes?”

Wendell: “Thanks.”

Grant nods and walks off.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Destiny Page standing with Gia Glimmer and Gina Glimmer in the backstage area. The crowd roars seeing the two sisters, who each wear their SCW World Tag Team Championship belts.

Page: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Destiny Page here and I’m with our SCW World Tag Team Champions and well, you’ve had a heck of a week and one that ended with a celebration only you two could give in KABLAMia.”

Gia (we think): “You think we went too far.”

Gina (we think): “I mean we could do a replay now. Is it not the watershed? Isn’t someone worried in the back?”

Page: “Well, there’s also a desire to hear from the World Tag Team Champions and one of the Trios Tournament winners.”

Gina smirks.

Gina: “Well, looks like there’s more power in that.”

Gia: “We like when we have power.”

Page: “Have you two given any thought to what you’ll use your contract on.”

Gina: “Oh, we have ideas.”

Gia: “We always have ideas. It’s how we stay ahead and stay at the top.”

Gina: “And on top.”

Gina winks.

Gia: “But it also gives us something to keep things on our side. We know a lot of people want us.”

Gina: “And want these.”

Gia: “And if they want us…we’re not hard to find. But if you press the wrong buttons…you won’t be joining us for a celebration that only we can give.”

Gina: “You’ll be joining us when we humiliate you and show even more disrespect.”

Gia: “We’re used to being disrespected. People have disrespected us since we got in here.”

Gina: “And we’ve left everyone on their backs. And not satisfied. Because we don’t mix business with THAT business.”

Gia: “And our business is picking up.”

Gia and Gina smile before then walking off.

Page: “Back to ringside.”

Maria Karagianni vs. Just Some Loser

The Intro of “Beyond The Vail” by Lindsay Stirling plays. The bear drops and Maria Karagianni walks out from the back. She looks around the arena and walks down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a ten minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Athens, Greece, she is Maria Karagianni!”

She walks up the steps, she rolls her eyes with an evil grin, slowly entering the ring and teasing the crowd. She leans against the turnbuckle, resting her leg on the bottom turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Maria Karagianni making her second appearance. Successful two weeks ago and now looking to keep it up.”

Kayl: “Maybe she will have some back up too. EFN was interested. But we’ve heard nothing from her.”

“Censorship” begins to play throughout the arena, immediately garnering boos from the audience. As the alarms playing overhead continue to go off nonstop, a man steps out from behind the curtains wearing a blanket over his entire frame, concealing his face from cameras. He walks down the ramp ignoring the people to either side of him.

Phillips: “Her opponent, coming in from somewhere in Minnesotta… Just Some Loser!”

As he reaches the bottom of the ramp he tosses the blanket off and makes his way up the steps. He quickly enters in between the second and third rope. He stands in the middle of the ring, staring down at the mat with a thousand yard stare.

Sharper: “And…Just Some Loser I guess.”

Kayl: “Does he have a better name?”

Sharper: “Not that we can share. This is what he wants to be called. Maybe some weird sadist streak.”

Kayl: “If that, Karagianni may give him a few kicks where it counts.”

The bell sounds. Loser steps up and tries to go right after Karagianni, but she quickly exits the ring to the floor. She backs up. Loser throws his arms up and backs up as Karagianni waits for him to get back. (1) The official continues to count as Karagianni takes a moment or two. (2) She then pulls herself onto the apron and steps into the ring. Loser then steps up to grab her, but Karagianni rakes his eyes. She then kicks him in the ribs before kicking him in the shin. Loser staggers and Karagianni then hits a clickbait to the shin before shoving him back with the Notification and then flicking him with the Spamming. She just smirks before Loser kicks her in the ribs and then runs her over to the corner and throws her into the corner. He rears back and shoulders her in the ribs once and then again and again as the official counts.

Sharper: “Karagianni more looking to annoy, not what Just Some Loser was going to accept.”

Kayl: “And that just seemed to get under his skin. Just shouldering her in the corner.”

Loser grabs her and whips her across the ring. He runs across and Karagianni moves out of the way as he gets chest first hard. He staggers back and then Karagianni then trips him. He hits the mat and Karagianni grabs him and rolls him to his stomach before driving his head into the mat over and over and over again. Loser pulls away.”

Sharper: “This is a very unorthodox fighting style for Karagianni.”

Kayl: “Just like they did it in the Olympics, Adam!”

Sharper: “Uh, I don’t know about that.”

Loser starts to get up and Karagianni turns and hits the Posted. He falls back, dazed. She goes for the pin.

Maria kicks out. She rolls over and reaches at the ropes. Loser grabs her and clubs her in the back. He then turns her around and gutwrenches her up before powerbombing her down. She rolls over and crawls to the ropes.

Sharper: “Loser just powering her up and powerbombing her down.”

Kayl: “Big advantage he has. I mean, he’s twice the size of Karagianni!”

Karagianni uses the ropes to get up and Loser heads over and clotheslines her over the top rope. She lands on the floor and falls to the floor. (1) She starts to stir and Loser drops down to the floor. (1) He walks over to her and grabs her. Maria, however, rakes his eyes. (2) She then grabs him and drop toe holds him into the ring steps. (3) She pulls herself up and rolls into the ring. She gets up and walks around. Loser starts to stir. (4) He pulls himself up and pulls himself in. He gets up and Karagianni hits a Lou Thesz Press before just nailing him with swinging blows to the face. Loser covers up as Maria gets a few more shots in. She gets up and walks around the ring. Loser starts to get up and Maria runs over and goes for a spinning kick to the head, but Loser catches her. He then hits a dragon screw into the corner. Maria drops down to a seated position. Loser then runs at her and knees her in the face. He backs away as Maria drops down.

Sharper: “Loser caught her and then threw her into the corner before kneeing her in the face.”

Kayl: “No hesitation. Just taking advantage of the opportunity.”

Loser grabs Maria and drags her out before scooping her up and hitting a fallaway slam. She rolls through and starts to get up and Loser walks over to her and grabs her, but Maria hits a mule kick and a low blow. Loser turns around in pain and Maria jumps onto his back, locking in a sleeper. Loser tries to grab her, spinning around as Maria tries to hold on. The official checks on Loser before Loser then runs back and drives Maria into the corner. She holds on and Loser staggers forward and then runs back, sandwiching her again.

Sharper: “Maria Karagianni sandwiched in the corner. Trying to get Loser to fade.”

Kayl: “And Loser just made sure that she took two hard shots.”

Loser steps out from the corner and Maria steps out and then swings, but Loser drop down and takes her down by the leg before turning and locking in the Don’t Tap. Maria yells out in pain as Loser starts to crank on her ankle. She reaches out as the official checks on her. She keeps trying to fight, bridging up, as Loser stands, pulling on the leg, and continuing to crank on the ankle, twisting it. Maria reaches out again and then starts to tap out as the crowd roars. The bell sounds. Loser throws the leg down and walks around the ring.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Just Some Loser!”

Sharper: “And Karagianni had no choice but to tap. Just Some Loser had her in the middle of the ring and the hold expertly applied.”

Kayl: “Not the follow up she wanted, but Just Some Loser has a winning streak!”

Just Some Loser turns as the official goes to raise his arm. He pulls away and walks over to the ropes. He then steps through and drops down to the floor. He then looks around before starting to head to the back. The cameras follow him to the back as the official checks on Maria Karagianni.

Dean Black is backstage in what would be CHBK’s office. Autumn Valentine is with him as they are on speaker phone.

Black: “So Mr. Delatosso, did you enjoy Under Attack?”

Delatosso: “It was interesting. I’ve always enjoyed professional wrestling but never was in the ring. And that Mr. Evans individual…could be good in business. He’s got a certain ruthlessness and decisiveness.”

Black: “Sure…yes, he does.”

Delatosso: “That said, I don’t know what Alex was thinking working with that Adonis fellow. That was just a crass show. I think we need to look at some of the components there. What are we trying to do.”

Black: “With all due respect, you trusted Alex to guide the ship. He’s been in this sport longer than most and he’s trying to offer something to everyone. And we have a unique roster-“

Delatosso: “We don’t need to cater to the lowest common denominator. But that’s something we’ll be speaking with with the board and with Alex this week. Just keep minding the ship. I hear Alex will be back next week.”

Black: “Sounds good.”

Delotosso: “Keep doing a good job.”

Delotosso hangs up as Black turns to Autumn.

Autumn: “I’ve seen the numbers…we got a good number for it.”

Black: “Yeah but of whom? And what of the advertisers?”

Just then, Xander Valentine storms into the room.

Valentine: “Autumn…leave.”

Autumn: “Uh…”

Black: “She’s here to assist-“

Valentine: “And given that she’s married to one of the dumbest people on the planet, I don’t want her here.”

Autumn grabs her clipboard.

Autumn: “I’ll wait outside.”

Autumn walks out as Xander watches her leave and turns to Black.

Black: “What do you need, Xander?”

Xander: “I know what you’ve told Selena. But Under Attack didn’t really solve much. And I think the only way to nip this in the bud is to get me in there with them and let me do what I do. Between them, between Adonis…I’m not here to be a punchline. And by the sounds of it, someone else may go for it.”

Black: “I’m not going to say one thing to Selena and another to you. Get a partner-“

Xander: “Then give me one of them. Because the result will be the same. One down and they lose their biggest asset. And they learn some respect.”

Xander turns and walks out of the office. The camera follows as we see Lexy Chapel jumping out.

Chapel: “A HA!”

Xander stops and turns and looks around. Autumn is across the hall, with a bottle of water. She just shrugs.

Chapel: “You now trying to jump in front of Syren. Huh? HUH! You hated her too! HUH!”

Chapel steps up.

Chapel: “Look, I know you’ve had issues crossing borders. You’ve crossed lines. How’s that for you? Huh? HUH!”

Xander: “Get out of my way.”

Xander storms off as Lexy watches him leave before turning and showing some frustration. Autumn walks over to her.

Autumn: “What was that about?”

Chapel: “You’ve not heard anything about whether I’m going to get some travel bans. I mean…I screwed up in KABLAMia. They’re international right? I’m British. They may not let me in the country and SYREN would be CRUSHED. We can’t afford that. And Xander knows some about…uh-“

Autumn: “Relax. We’re not immigration? Or the KABLAMia authorities if there are any. That’s Derek, I think? Is he the President? It’s private? I don’t know. Ravyn might-“

Chapel: “No! NO. I won’t ask Satan. I’ll figure it out myself. Okay?”

Chapel looks around.

Chapel: “Don’t tell Ravyn, okay.”

Dean Black then comes out.

Chapel: “I’m innocent!”

Chapel runs off, Dean Black confused, as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

The fans are up on their feet as “How Could I Just Kill A Man” by RATM starts to pulsate through the sound system.

Sharper: “Our new United States Champion is gracing us with her presence!”

Kayl: “Think she is gonna thank Gavin and Striker?”

Sharper: “Why would she?”

Kayl: “It’s fairly obvious, without Gavin, we aren’t looking at a new US Champion.”

Sharper: “Sure, there is an argument to be made there but I got a feeling Meghan Strader is going to show us her win was no fluke.”

Tamika, Veronica, Cara, Mackenzie and Tearra all walk out from behind the curtain. Veronica and Cara head to the right of the stage while Mackenzie and Tearra head to the left. Tamika, standing in the centre with the microphone in hand, raises it up to her lips as the CFH music dies down.

Tamika Strader: “Ladies and germs, children of all ages... it is my distinct pleasure to introduce to you one of the First Seven and co-founder of the Cowgirls From Hell... she is YOUR SCW United States Champion.... MEGHAN “I CLOSE THE DOOR” STRADER!!!!!!!!!”

The Cowgirls on stage face palm as Tamika chortles to herself as “Boys Wanna Be Her (Tommie Sunshine’s Brooklyn Fire Retouch)” by Peaches starts up, and the distinctive sound of the Matriarch’s brand new 2025 blackedout Indian Springfield Dark Horse; the engine rumble vibrates through the arena. The fans are on their feet as Meghan rides out after the 30 second, letting the fans take in the new theme song, with Tamika stepping to the side. Meghan cranks the throttle, the rumble of the added on Screaming Eagle tailpipe fills our ears. Tamika hops onto the “bitch” seat, accepting the US title from Meghan who unclasped it from her waist. Meghan hits the throttle and the sisters roll down the ramp with Tamika clamping herself to the seat while waving the title through the air. 

Sharper: “I don’t think you’ll find a closer faction, stable, club, gang or whatever you want to call these women, then them.”

Kayl: “But not Alabama close as I have heard Tamika say.”

Meghan comes to a stop and Tamika hops up onto the seat with both feet to hop onto the ring apron, her sister’s title in hand. The Cowgirls roll into the ring, awaiting their leader. Baby sister hands big sister her championship. The sisters wipe their boots on the ring apron before stepping in. Meghan adjusts the US title over right shoulder. 

SCW fans: “YOU DE-SERVE IT!”

Meghan sneers as she takes a bow basking in the glow. 

Meghan Strader: “Thank you, but you have to earn it to deserve it and since I stepped into SCW I have been earning it every single Breakdown and every Pay-Per-View. I can’t begin to tell you how much it means to me to be from a family with a rich history like mine to have a championship with such a rich twenty-plus year history over my shoulder. Like my daughter and sister before me, I am going to make MY championship the one to hold.”

The Cowgirls applaud their leader, egging on the crowd to get loud and they oblige.

Sharper: “The crowd is certainly behind the US Champ.”

Kayl: “These fans are fickle. They’ll blow someone else in no time.”

Meghan Strader: “First, you all may have noticed the new wheels… a gift from my sister for winning this title; a 2025 Indian Springfield Dark Horse and custom exhaust. Second, to La Pequeña Luz… thank you for bringing me the fight. I had to truly earn this in this ring. That’s all I ever want when I step foot in here to compete… to give everything I got and get everything my opponent has. You did that and I thank you. If you want a rematch, and after rewatching our match you have every right to want one, I will gladly put up my title against you. But I will say it again, after all you have accomplished in SCW and as the former US Champion, you have a hell of a bargaining chip to be considered in the World title picture.”

Sharper: “Meghan makes an excellent point. Luz has earned an opportunity to get involved in the World title picture.”

Kayl: “Strader just doesn’t want to lose her title so quickly.”

Meghan Strader: “Which brings me to this… roll the footage.”

UNDER ATTACK 2025:

Luz slowly pulls herself up, looking disappointed that her father s move didn t finish this, but that only seems to further fuel her fire as she moves to climb to the top turnbuckle one more time. As she does, the fans begin booing as Gavin Taylor comes running down the ramp. He hops up onto the apron and Steve Hollinsworth immediately turns and stops him from trying to get into the ring.

Gavin: You don’t understand! I have a contract, a big, beautiful contract! I have a U.S. Championship shot and I need to Make America Gavin Again! 

Hollinsworth keeps refusing to let Gavin into the ring despite his pleading that he can just take his supposed title shot right now. As he smacks the top rope in frustration and tries to reach past the referee to pull himself into the ring around him, Hollinsworth doesn’t see as all of Gavin’s antics cause enough of a disturbance that Luz ends up losing her balance and lands in a very uncomfortable position on the top turnbuckle! The boos only intensify as Gavin keeps trying to get into the ring, but they turn to cheers when Gavin finds himself being yanked off the apron by David Striker! Striker starts unloading on Gavin with right hands before he leaps for the Yamato, but Gavin manages to shove him off almost into the steel steps before he makes a break for it. Gavin ends up leaping over the barricade and bolts through the crowd, with Striker hot on his heels!

Sharper: Gavin Taylor coming out here and trying to insert himself into this match or simply call it off or whatever he was babbling about to have this title shot he claims he has, and Hollinsworth doesn’t realize he caused Luz to lose her balance! 

Kayl: This idiot may be on the run from a very angry David Striker, but he may have inadvertently screwed Luz over! And Meghan Strader has no idea! 

As Luz is trying to recover after her rough landing, Meghan is slowly pulling herself back to her feet and sees Luz stunned on the top turnbuckle. Unaware of what just happened, she staggers over to Luz and blasts her with a stiff right hand to keep her from recovering! The Under Attack logo comes up on the screen.

The fans boo loudly. The Cowgirls step back, Cara and Mack leaning against the entrance way ropes with Veronica and Tamika against the opposite side, allowing Meghan to walk the ring, facing the hard camera as she speaks.

Meghan Strader: “Gavin, unless I direct my girls here to get involved with one of my matches, I get pretty *beep*ing agitated. With that comes some good news for you along with the bad news. The good news is, I have let management know that for my first defence I am more than ok with it being you. The bad news if they agree, you are getting an agitated Meghan Strader.”

The fans pop at the prospect of getting an agitated Strader in a match with stakes. 

Meghan Strader: “I won’t place all the blame on any individual in our trios match for our ousting, as that falls on the official officiating that match, but I do have some aggression that would like to get out, and I can’t think of a more deserving face.”

Sharper: “Meghan jumping right into the fire.”

Kayl: “Surprised. Seems like the hoarding type.”

Meghan Strader: “My old man, my daughter and sister told me the first championship you hold on your own will always be the one you remember and it is why you treat it like it’s the greatest championship to exist. And I want to make this very clear… this title?”

Meghan holds it up high before clasping it around her waist. Her hand rests off her thumb, her index and middle finger stroking the SCW logo.

Meghan Strader: “It’s my baby. My precious if you will, and this championship has become the most important title in SCW. Whoever takes it off me, will be pulling it from my cold dead hands. So whether it’s Luz getting a rematch, Damon Cage stepping up…yeah, I saw you…, Gavin getting a shot so he’ll shut the hell up or a former US champ or even my favourite little angry Smurf, Polly Pocket… I’ll be teaching everyone the lesson that God forgives…”

Meghan/SCW fans: “I DON’T!”

Tamika takes the microphone and all the women sneer for the hard cam, except Tearra, she gives her shit-eating-smirk.

Tamika Strader: “Shhhh… do you hear that?”

The sound of hoofbeats fill the arena as “How Could I Just Kill A Man” starts back as the Cowgirls From Hell gather and head to the back, led by Meghan on her Indian Springfield Dark Horse.

Dexter Grant is talking to Autumn Valentine backstage.

Autumn: “You really should be talking to Dean.”

Grant: “I’m talking to you. I’ve been watching you take all of those notes. I know you’re annoyed with some things that you’ve been working with. And I’m just looking for some clarity. This tournament has dragged on enough. And frankly, I know that there’s milking things for clicks, but this is getting ridiculous.”

Autumn: “I know the matches are set. Obviously. I don’t know about the order. I know that you facing Polly was something CHBK talked to me before Apocalypse if that helps.”

Grant: “After Chris…I’m sure he would love that-“

Lawler: “Now you’re trying to mess with people, huh?”

Grant looks up. He backs up a bit.

Grant: “Shouldn’t you be upset. Allowed to think you’re next in line-“

Lawler: “I knew it wasn’t happening. Alex told me before. Didn’t stop me from calling you out and trust me, Polly and I aren’t on our Christmas card lists and I’d rather face you for the title.”

Grant: “Well it’s going to happen. Ask Autumn when. That way you can get in the zone. Just don’t fall short. People remember the moment. If they’re living in it.”

Grant backs up as Lawler watches him go and then Breakdown cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Lexy Chapel walks down the hallway, looking around. She then looks over and starts to run towards a door.

Ravyn: “Hey.”

Lexy Chapel jumps and turns, making a cross with her fingers.

Chapel: “Begone demon!”

Ravyn: “What are you doing?”

Chapel: “Going for a walk. Are you…are you stalking me? Wait…are you going to finally murder me. I hope you know I can still throw a kick.”

Ravyn: “I saw. Ruined Zoe’s vacation too.”

Chapel: “Well..uh…that wasn’t the plan and-“

Ravyn: “Are you looking for Derek?”

Chapel: “Well…..uh, yes, but-“

Ravyn: “Not here. Boise. Trust me, try to get a direct flight. Zoe and I had to figure a few things out.”

Chapel: “But-“

Ravyn: “Look, you need to make sure you meet with him. You know that he can make it so you’re locked in or locked out. You don’t want to upset not only a leader of a nation, but clearly a business leader.”

Chapel: “Wait, you don’t-“

Ravyn: “Very serious. In fact, you want to do nothing suspicious. You know those conspiracy theories….that can be used to say you’re a threat to the public. Mental health too. And trust me, if they can’t deport you back to Britain, you could end up in a sanitorium. And you don’t want to end up there. I know it first hand. As Zoe.”

Chapel: “Wait…I…I was just trying to do something good. I wanted to make sure he wasn’t going to…”

Ravyn: “And then the spiritual element. I think that’s a human rights abuse. I’d have to check. But the Universal Declaration of Human Rights does require religious toleration and you…well…the desecration and-“

Chapel: “Wait! Wait! No, you’re just messing with me.”

Ravyn: “What’s one thing I would never mess with, Lexy?”

Chapel: “Syren….”

Ravyn: “And this affects Syren. She’s trying to figure out how to focus. You need to be the best manager you can be. And keep your head down. Okay?”

Chapel: “But Derek and I-“

Ravyn: “I’ll handle him. I at least won’t immediately be deemed a threat.”

Chapel: “Seriously? Wait…I….Autumn didn’t put you up to this.”

Ravyn: “No one put me up to anything. I know you meant well, even if Derek did too…and better. But, Lexy, this is serious. And Syren doesn’t need this. James Evans cutting in front of her. She said she’d be a champion before the year was out.”

Chapel: “Okay…I…thank you? I feel dirty. But…I don’t want to be deported. And….”

Ravyn: “Go to Zoe. She’s getting ready. It’s against Crystal. You know her-“

Chapel: “Still have boxes of that damn water.”

Ravyn: “Good. Use that.”

Chapel heads off as Ravyn smirks. She shakes her head as the scene cuts away.

Kemal Yilmaz vs. Chris Dumont

Shot of Adrenaline Tournament

Phillips: “The following contest is a Shot of Adrenaline Tournament match, scheduled for one fall!”

Wasteland by Pentagram, aka Mezarkabul, plays over the sound system as Kemal, wearing the black and red venom mask comes through the curtain, holding up his Turkey flag, wearing Turkey flame flag shorts with The European Fiery Nation logo attached to his shorts, wearing MMA gloves and wrestling boots with Ginny Raab behind him. He gets many boos as he walks to the ring, ignoring the fans.

Phillips: “Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Ginny Raab, from Istanbul, Turkey, he is… Kemal Yilmaz!”

He jumps up to the ring and gets underneath the ropes before holding them open for Ginny to get in, and he raises his fist in the air, looking at the crowd with Ginny applauding Kemal before he puts himself in a corner. He holds the ropes open again for Ginny to leave the ring before turning to face the stage, waiting for his opponent to arrive so the match can begin.

Kayl: “This feels like one of those late-stage tournament matches where you’re not sure if it matters or not.”

Sharper: “I wouldn’t exactly rule out either of the men about to compete just yet, but after this match, I think it’s safe to say one of them will be well and truly eliminated from the running.”

Kayl: “Kemal ended up falling short against Chris Lawler at Under Attack, so there’s not a lot of tournament table left for him to step up and use this to show the world what kind of leader he could be for the European Fiery Nation when Konrad retires!”

A long guitar chord powers through the arena as the video wall suddenly explodes to life with shots of the SCW career thus far of Chris Dumont as the man himself strides out onto the entrance way, throwing his arms up in an "X" pattern on the stage before he starts to walk down to the ring.

<Song>
<Wild thing, you make my heart sing>
<You make everything groovy>
<Come on, wild thing>

<Wild thing, I think I love you>
<But I wanna know for sure>
<Come on and hold me tight>
<You move me>

Phillips: “And his opponent, hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana…”

<Song>
<Wild thing, you make my heart sing>
<You make everything groovy>
<Come on, come on, wild thing>

<Wilg thing, I think I love you>
<But I want a know for sure>
<Come on, hold me tight>
<You move me>

Chris makes his way down to the ring and walks up the ring steps before wiping his feet off on the apron before slipping into the ring proper as he pulls off his ring jacket.

Phillips: “This is the Ronin himself… Chris Dumont!”

Sharper: “Dumont’s last tournament outing saw him fall short in trying to defeat Polly Pingotti for the Television Title, and you know he’s got to be frustrated with his run thus far.”

Kayl: “Both men only with two points to their name, and that’s only due to the injury elimination of Spencer Pryce. If either one of them wants to try and mount some sort of late miracle run, it has to start with this match.”

Referee Steve Hollinsworth signals for the bell and both men begin to circle one another before locking up. They struggle with trying to overpower one another for the early advantage before Kemal manages to duck into a go-behind and gets Dumont in a rear waistlock. He goes to lift Dumont for a german suplex, but Dumont throws a back elbow to stun Kemal and free himself. Dumont performs a standing switch and tries to give Kemal a german suplex now, but Kemal stops it with his own back elbow before he twists into a european uppercut to push Dumont back. He grabs Dumont’s arm and tries to irish whip him into the ropes, but Dumont twists through before blasting Kemal with a forearm smash! He follows this up with a dropkick that knocks Kemal through the ropes and out to the floor!

Sharper: “Dumont winning the opening volley to get the upper hand here in the early-going.”

Kayl: “Fortunately for Kemal, there’s no countouts in these tournament matches, so he doesn’t have to go rushing right back into the fray.”

Kemal takes a moment to walk around on the floor, his body language making him seem frustrated even if his mask makes it hard to tell if he truly is or not. Dumont motions for him to get back into the ring, and Kemal obliges after a moment as he pulls himself back in. Dumont immediately tries to press the advantage with a lariat, but Kemal ducks it. Dumont hits the ropes and does a pendulum swing in them, rebounding into another lariat attempt, but Kemal manages to ducks this one too before using the position to lift Dumont for a belly-to-back suplex, only to instead drop him across his knee in a pendulum backbreaker! Dumont cries out in pain as Kemal moves to his legs and turns him over into a boston crab, angling him so he can plant a knee into Dumont’s back!

Sharper: “Kemal able to reset, and now he’s got Dumont in a great deal of trouble!”

Kayl: “You take out the back, it makes it very hard to get a good base for a lot of your offense.”

Steve Hollinsworth checks in with Dumont, but he refuses to submit. Kemal just buries his knee deeper into Dumont’s back as he applies more pressure on the boston crab. Dumont, however, manages to pull himself over to the ropes and grabs the bottom one!

1!

2!

3!

Kemal releases the boston crab, letting Dumont struggle for a moment to pull himself up with help from the ropes. Dumont turns and Kemal grabs him in a front facelock, hooking his leg before taking him over with a fisherman’s suplex, sticking the bridge for the pin!

1!

2!

Dumont kicks out!

Sharper: “Kemal really keeping up the pressure on Dumont’s back, doing whatever he can to try and keep him down for the three count.”

Kayl: “Both of these guys are at the bottom of the standings right now, and if either one of them hopes to pull off a miracle run, this win is crucial!”

Kemal grabs Dumont and starts pulling him to his feet. He hooks him in a front facelock and tries to go for another suplex, but Dumont manages to block it. Kemal tries again, but Dumont blocks a second time before stunning Kemal with an uppercut-style palm strike to the chin! Kemal is stunned as Dumont tries to lift him for a suplex now, managing to get Kemal off the mat as Kemal kicks his legs frantically. The strain seems to be too much after the damage that was just done to Dumont’s back, and as Kemal floats back down to the mat, he swings his legs and turns it into a guillotine choke! Dumont’s arms flail for a moment as Kemal tries to squeeze the life out of him, attempting to throw himself back to pull Dumont to the mat but Dumont plants his feet and refuses to be taken down. Hollinsworth checks on Dumont, but he refuses to submit as he wraps his arms around Kemal’s waist. With a powerful roar, Dumont manages to pry Kemal out of the bodyscissors he had and escapes the guillotine choke by flipping Kemal over into a bridging northern lights suplex!

1!

2!

Kemal kicks out!

Sharper: “What a counter by Chris Dumont to escape that guillotine!”

Kayl: “Kemal needs to avoid letting Dumont start building too much momentum, or else this is going to start snowballing real quickly for him!”

Kemal manages to get back to his feet, finding that he’s managed to make it up before Dumont. He hooks Dumont and tries for another suplex, but it’s Dumont who lifts Kemal up into a suplex before dropping him into a Code Zero! Kemal stumbles back against the ropes and Dumont goes to irish whip him, but Kemal manages to twist through before catching Dumont with another european uppercut! Kemal then proceeds to boot Dumont in the gut and double underhooks his arms, perhaps thinking Istanbul Acid Driver, but Dumont manages to twist free before pulling Kemal into the Red Ink pin!

1!

2!

Kemal kicks out! As he scrambles back to his feet, Dumont stuns him by leaping into a Tiger Knee! Kemal ends up falling through the ropes and out to the floor, stumbling against the barricade, but this time Dumont isn’t going to let him recover as he runs off the ropes, channeling all the momentum he’s been building, before he soars through the ropes and drives Kemal against the barricade with the Arrow from the Depths of Hell!

Sharper: “To your point Devon, Chris Dumont is starting to get on a roll and Kemal is in deep trouble!”

Kayl: “Kemal needs to find an opening and quick, or else the Ronin might be about to cut down all his Shot of Adrenaline hopes right here and now!”

Dumont pulls himself up to his feet and grabs Kemal before throwing him back into the ring, taking a moment to try and stretch out his back from the damage Kemal had done to it earlier. He rolls back into the ring as Kemal slowly begins pulling himself to his feet. Kemal turns and Dumont grabs him, going to deliver the Crown of Thorns, but Kemal forearms him in the lower back to cut this off! Dumont winces in pain as Kemal turns him around and boots him in the gut before hooking his arms and planting him with the Istanbul Acid Driver! He rolls Dumont over and goes for the cover, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Chris Dumont gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Dumont surviving the Istanbul Acid Driver as Kemal takes advantage of his earlier focus on Chris’s back!”

Kayl: “Kemal with a sound strategy and it might be about to pay dividends if he can put Dumont away!”

Kemal looks up at Steve Hollinsworth, the camera picking up on him speaking in Turkish as he seems to be arguing for a three count, but Hollinsworth stands firm on his two. Kemal huffs before grabbing Dumont’s arm, going to try and lock in The Turkish Acid Cross, but Dumont manages to roll through! He pulls Kemal with him, seemingly reversing who’s got control of who as they roll along the mat a few times before it comes to a stop with Dumont having gotten Kemal trapped in the Cromwell Invocation! Hollinsworth checks with Kemal, who screams out his refusal to submit and tries to crawl towards the ropes, but Dumont uses all of his strength to apply more torque to Kemal’s shoulder, making Kemal realize it may end up ripped right out of its socket if he keeps trying to fight. One particularly nasty wrench from Dumont stops Kemal’s efforts as he finally taps out! Hollinsworth calls for the bell as "Wild Thing" by X hits the speakers again and Dumont releases the Cromwell Invocation before rolling back to his feet.

Phillips: “Here is your winner as a result of a submission… Chris Dumont!”

Sharper: “Chris Dumont managing to survive Kemal’s focused attacks on his back and turn the tables on him at the end, countering the Turkish Acid Cross into the Cromwell Invocation and making him tap out!”

Kayl: “I’m pretty sure that completely eliminates Kemal at this late stage of the table. Dumont may still have a bit of hope left to advance, but he’s going to have to win out and he’ll definitely need some help to make a miracle happen!”

Hollinsworth raises Dumont’s arm in victory as he winces from the pain still shooting through his lower back, but he nods as his victory sinks in while he takes a slow victory lap around the ring, celebrating his win to the cheers of the fans. We see Kemal rolling out of the ring as Ginny collects him and starts helping him to the back as he clutches at his shoulder while Dumont continues to celebrate. Just then, we see Karl Barker and Jack Barker, run down from the back. They slide into the ring as Dumont turns as nails Karl but Jack then tackles him down. Dumont grabs at him as Kemal turns back. He starts to head to the ring, but Ginny stops him. We then hear Gavin Taylor’s voice boom throughout the arena.

Gavin: “The steal is back in play, folks. A terrible steal. An annoying steal. An illegal steal. After I beat Laying Dave at Under Attack, he couldn’t handle it and he and his friends have tried to stop me. I had a great win. A beautiful win. The win that defines all wins. And it’s time for us to take back our wrestling ring. We’re going to Make America Gavin Again! And our religious leaders have even been caught in this lawless hellscape. A terrible hellscape. And Chris, Crying Chris, that’s right. Crying Chris. Thinking he deserves more. You’ll be an example for Raging Reno. Runs in the family. A terrible family. The worst family.”

Gavin continues to ramble as Dumont gets Jack off of him, but Karl then nails him in the back with a clubbing blow. Dumont drops down and Karl nails him again and again. Dumont elbows him in the ribs and Karl staggers back. Jack then pulls something out from his pocket and Dumont grabs him, before dropping to the mat, convulsing as Jack uses a taser on him. Dumont contorts.

Gavin: “We’re going to stop the steal. Your eventual US Champion of the World is done playing nice with people who don’t believe. With people who stand in our way. Evil people. The worst people. People who break laws and pretend they care, when they done/. Only I care. I care more than everyone. Have you seen the stats? The surveys? People love me. Just like the economy. It’s going up. Just like the stocks. All because they know Gavin is on the rise. Is going to be back as the US Champion of the World!”

Sharper: “Gavin! Would you shut up!”

Kayl: “I don’t think that’s happening. Where the hell is he?”

Sharper: “Up in the private boxes.”

We cut to the private boxes to see him standing with a woman behind him, but the woman is remaining in darkness as we see Dumont now getting attacked by both Jack and Karl Barker who stomp away on him. Jack then turns to Karl. They nod as Karl exits the ring.

Sharper: “Now what are they doing?”

Gavin: “Crying Chris, you’re with them, the radical losers in the SCW. And I don’t associate with losers. Worst losers. Bad losers. You’re just another wacky guy that’s been struck by Gavin Derangement Syndrome. And fortunately, we have a new plan to deal with it.”

Kayl: “They’ve got a chair.”

Sharper: “They’ve used a taser. They’re attacking Chris Dumont and why? Dumont and Striker have been on the outs for months. Gavin is having Chris attacked based on I don’t know what? Reno?“

We then see Aisling Reed running out from the back. Karl slides into the ring. Aisling runs down and slides in. She then runs over and nails Jack with a hard right and then nails Karl as he gets back in and then nails Jack again. Chris reaches out and tries to get up as now, we see Kemal Yilmaz running back into the ring. He then gets up and runs over and nails Aisling from behind. Gavin looks on and then smiles.

Gavin: “Yes! Yes! Kemal! Thank you! You’re helping us make American Gavin again! Our best friend, great friends, brilliant friends, the Turkish-Gavinericans!”

Ginny looks on as Kemal kicks away on Aisling Reed in the corner. Karl then takes the chair and slides it to Jack. Jack takes it and places it around the head of Chris Dumont. Dumont resists only for Karl to stomp him in the back a couple of times. Jack looks at Karl and Karl nods. Jack then places the chair around the head of Chris. Chris struggles. Aisling lunges, trying to get free, but Kemal now scissors her legs, and Aisling reaches out as Karl then steps up and stomps the chair. Chris rolls over, holding his throat and head as he writhes in pain. Jack then runs over and stomps Aisling, as he looks around, more frantic than sadistic. Gavin looks on, almost entranced.

Sharper: “The Barkers…the All-Star Secret Service. They’ve just collapsed that chair around Chris Dumont’s head!”

Kayl: “And right in front of Aisling Reed. Right in front of his girlfriend.”

Sharper: “Even they look shocked they did this. Gavin’s just watching. He’s no longer ranting…”

The crowd roars as we then see David Striker running out from the back.

Sharper: “And here comes David Striker?!”

Kayl: “He still has a conscience at least!”

Striker slides into the ring. He gets up and nails Jack with a hard right. He nails Karl with another. Kemal heads over and nails him with a shot before Striker kicks him in the ribs and hits a Shotei. Kemal hits the mat. Striker turns and kicks at Jack before nailing Karl. We then see officials running down from the back. A couple of EMTs, running a stretcher down. Karl and Jack both get up and Striker knocks both down with strikes before they roll out of the ring. Gavin looks on as Striker patrols the ring. The official enter as Karl and Jack back away. Kemal looks into the ring too. Striker then turns and looks up at Gavin before pacing a bit and then turning to look at Chris Dumont. Aisling crawls over to him and checks on him as officials join her. The scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

We see Chris Dumont being wheeled out on a stretcher into the back and into an ambulance. Aisling Reed walks with him as Colleen MacDonald joins her. Aisling turns to Colleen.

Aisling: “Thank David for us.”

Colleen: “If I see him….let us know how he’s doing.”

Aisling nods and gets into the back of the ambulance. The doors close and the ambulance drives off. Colleen watches it leave.

We cut to ringside and the announce position.

Sharper: “Things escalating dramatically between Gavin Taylor and David Striker. I was stunned though to see Striker come out.”

Kayl: “I don’t know if Gavin helped something click there. Then again, given how deluded he’s been, he may have thought Dumont and Striker were still a team.”

Sharper: “Yeah, I don’t know. But add Meghan’s comments earlier. Gavin’s going to have a lot of explaining to do next week. We hope Chris Dumont is okay.”

Kayl: “Yeah, and we’ll have a big show next week in New Orleans. Both members of Light in the Darkness will be present. As will Glory Braddock. Kimberly Williams.”

Sharper: “All of them will have a lot on their mind. Glory especially after falling shot against Cid Turner. We expect Cid Turner here next week. Huge show in New Orleans next week for Breakdown.”

“Scum Of The Earth” by Rob Zombie then stars to play. The crowd roars as the lights dim and we then see the Monster Machine, Enigma, walk out from the back, holding his SCW Underground Championship. He scans the crowd before starting to come down to the ring.

Sharper: “Meanwhile, we’ve heard from James Evans. We’ve heard from Gina Glimmer. The last member of the winning team from the Trios Tournament, Enigma.”

Kayl: “And arguably the most interesting. What is he thinking?”

Enigma walks down the rampway and to the ring. He reaches the ring and throws the Underground Championship into the ring. He then pulls himself up onto the apron and then into the ring. He steps forward and grabs the title. He throws it over his shoulder before going to the corner and demanding a microphone from ring announce Jason Phillips. Phillips obliges and Enigma takes the microphone. He turns back to the middle of the ring. The music fades out.

Enigma: “I said I wanted something more and I now have it.”

Enigma looks around.

Enigma: “A Trios contract. A contract for any match I wish.”

Enigma stops a moment, just looking down a moment.

Enigma: “But that desire seemed to annoy someone. Well, Colleen MacDonald…we are through Under Attack. I have no more commitments. I still am Underground Champion. And I said to you to find me my next challenge.”

Enigma pauses a moment.

Enigma: “Now I realize you’re tending to a friend, but this sport does not have time for such emotion. And since I made that pledge to you, I’ve found someone else that wants to face me and I am more than happy to give them the opportunity!”

Enigma looks at the camera.

Enigma: “I know Kimberly Williams wants this title. And I am always willing to sacrifice those who think they can handle me.”

Enigma turns and looks at the curtain.

Enigma: “So I am going to give you your chance, Colleen. I don’t care where you are right now. I am not waiting for you to play your games. You have five seconds before I announce that I will give Kimberly Williams the next title shot and you forfeit any claim to name someone else.”

Enigma looks at the stage.

Enigma: “ONE!”

Enigma then stops vocally counting, now just holding up fingers. The crowd instead counts.

Crowd: “TWO!”

Enigma holds up another finger.

Crowd: “THREE!”\

Another finger.

Crowd: “FOUR!”

Sharper: “Colleen may lose what she negotiated and-“

Colleen then steps out from the back, microphone in her hand. She looks less than pleased.

Colleen: “To pull this after I decided to help a friend…”

Enigma: “I don’t care.”

Colleen: “Nor do you care about your word.”

Enigma: “You’ve dragged this out long enough. Who am I facing?”

Colleen looks at the ring.

Colleen: “I can’t wait to see Xander Valentine finally beat you up with you have no excuse except to accept it! Have fun against the Executioner!”

Colleen then turns and storms to the back. Enigma just smirks.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine…After the Chamber match…”

Kayl: “How’s he going to take it? I mean the perfect match to keep blowing off steam and Enigma and Valentine had a brawl a few weeks back that ended not how either wanted.”

Sharper: “Enigma seems to be happy with that. But what’s Kim going to say about it. Enigma was ready to face her!”

Kayl: “Dean Black has some…or maybe CHBK has some decisions to make!”

Enigma continues to smirk as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Wendell taking a few moments to hype himself up. We then see him walk forward and Destiny Page turns, having finished whatever she was preparing.

Page: “Wendell! Hi!”

Wendell: “Uh…hi, Des. I…look, I need to just say I’m sorry.”

Page: “What for?”

Wendell: “Look, I’m hoping you don’t mind it, but still…there’s a meme going on. And I…I was a….a.bit…um….”

Wendell stammers before we hear laughing. Destiny turns.

Page: “What’s so funny?”

We see Chris and Ryan Hollywood walking over, holding a phone.

Chris: “Hey man. You were excited to see Dest.”

Ryan: “I mean she has a banging body, but geez…have some class.”

Page: “What are you talking about?”

We then see Page walk over as Chris and Ryan show her on their phone. All we hear is now the sound, something Wendell hadn’t turned up when he was watching it, which ends with a “Boing!” sound. Destiny just looks down a bit, almost embarrassed before turning.

Destiny: “Wendell, I-“

Destiny stops and looks around as Wendell has since left.

Ryan: “At least you know he likes you.”

Chris: “Told you you’re leading lady, Dest. We can take you to the top!”

Destiny looks on, disappointed Wendell has left as the scene cuts away.

Syren vs. Crystal Zdunich

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall!”

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

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

As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros. “Smile Bomb” by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich walks from the curtains. Crystal is focused as she walks to the ring with a purpose. She however slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way.

Phillips: “Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, she is The Burning Rose… Crystal Zdunich!”

Crystal runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She tosses her Shoto inspired hoodie towards her corner as she awaits the start of the match.

Sharper: “It’s been a little while since we’ve seen Crystal Zdunich, but she’s been struggling for some time now and could really use a win.”

Kayl: “Easier said than done given who she’s up against tonight.”

Sharper: “Perhaps she’ll have the motivation, though. She was once a client of Lexy Chapel in her own right, and she feels Lexy abandoned her for ‘bigger and better things.’”

Kayl: “While I see her point, it’s hard to argue when that ‘bigger and better thing’ is one of the most decorated wrestlers in SCW today!”

The lights in the arena plunge into darkness. A pulsing sound akin to a heartbeat plays out across the PA system as the fans cheer.

LEXY CHAPEL PRESENTS

The heartbeat gets faster before “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. After a few moments Syren comes through the curtain, accompanied by Lexy Chapel. Syren pauses on the stage, looking out at the fans cheering, as Lexy waves her arms, trying to get them to cheer even louder for her client.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
DARK FANTASY

Syren walks down the ramp. She jumps up onto the apron before climbing the turnbuckles on the outside and waving her hands to get the fans fired up. As the camera gets closer to her, she shouts at the camera before pointing out at the fans. The camera switches to Lexy who yells about her client and the ‘Lexy Nation’ appreciating them.

Phillips: “Her opponent, being accompanied by Lexy Chapel and representing LexyCorp International, hailing from Los Angeles, California, she is a seven-time SCW World Champion, she is an SCW Hall of Famer, this is SYREN!”

Syren smiles before leaping over the top rope, dropping to her knees in the ring, posing with both her arms outstretched, palms facing up. Lexy rolls into the ring and stands over her, pointing down at her client. She offers both her hands to Syren, pulling her up. Syren takes off her ring jacket and hands that to Lexy before taking back the title. She climbs up on the middle rope, posing for a moment and then jumping back down and standing in her corner with Lexy, as her music fades out.

Kayl: “I still can’t believe Lexy went and got herself banned from KABLAMia! Talk about a buzzkill for Syren and Ravyn just trying to enjoy some time off!”

Sharper: “Rest Syren absolutely earned after the incredible war she went through at Under Attack against Amelia Nevado. She earned a very hard-fought win to try and keep her name at the forefront of the conversation for World Title contenders, and maybe the only reason that win didn’t earn it for her was because of James Evans immediately cashing in his newly won Trios contract.”

Kayl: “The problem is that Syren can’t afford to start slowing down now just because she has to wait a little longer. That’s an easy trap to fall into, and one that could prove costly if she underestimates someone like Crystal.”

Referee Jennifer Cassidy calls for the bell and both women circle one another before locking up. They struggle for a moment, each trying to overpower the other to get the upper hand, before Crystal suddenly pulls Syren into a small package pin!

2!

Syren kicks out right as the two is counted! She gets up as Crystal backs against the ropes, smiling at her. Lexy can be heard yelling something about a “cheap pin” out on the floor as the two women close the distance again. Crystal goes to lock up, only for Syren to try and catch her with a european uppercut as she does, but Crystal manages to avoid it, letting Syren spin herself around before she snapmares her over. She runs off the ropes and catches the seated Syren in the face with a running dropkick!

Sharper: “We talked about how motivated Syren was to win this match, but think of how significant this win would be for Crystal.”

Kayl: “You said she was one of Lexy’s clients once upon a time, so knocking off arguably Lexy’s biggest client after all these years would be a hell of a statement!”

Syren tries to get back to her feet, but Crystal sweeps her leg to keep her on the mat. She runs and springboards off the middle rope into a moonsault! Crystal hooks the leg for a cover.

Syren kicks out! Crystal looks up at Jennifer Cassidy for a moment before glancing over at Lexy, who ranting incoherently. Crystal just grins at her before she starts pulling Syren to her feet. She grabs Syren by the arm and runs towards the corner, running up the turnbuckles and springboarding off the top rope into an arm drag, but Syren moves back just as Crystal goes airborne and instead catches her on the way down with a jawbreaker! Crystal staggers into the ropes, bouncing off of them and walking right into a rolling wheel kick! Syren takes a moment to get her bearings before she runs towards the ropes and gives Crystal a receipt for the springboard moonsault, hooking the leg for  her own cover!

1!

Crystal kicks out!

Sharper: “Crystal perhaps getting a little ahead of herself there, giving Syren enough room to catch her with that jawbreaker and start taking over!”

Knots: “Syren knows full well she has to keep the momentum going if she wants that World Title shot you know she wants, so she can’t afford to make that same mistake and overlook Crystal here.”

Crystal slowly gets up to her feet, but as she turns around she’s met with a blistering knife edge chop from Syren! A second one backs her into the nearest corner, clutching at her chest as Syren pops her with a european uppercut for good measure. She irish whips Crystal across the ring into the opposite corner before following her in and connecting with the Face Lift! She backs away as Crystal staggers out of the corner and right into the Golden Blonde from Syren! She turns Crystal over and goes for the cover, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Crystal gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Syren keeping the pressure on, but the Face Lift into the Golden Blonde only scores two.”

Kayl: “Never underestimate the sheer determination of someone who knows they need this win to turn it all around!”

Lexy is pounding on the mat, demanding that Crystal stay down as Syren slowly steps out onto the apron, measuring her as she rises. Once Crystal’s up and slowly turns around, Syren springboards off the top rope into the Beauty Mark, but Crystal manages to catch her in midair with the Flashing Lights! Syren crumples to the mat and Crystal takes a moment to regain her bearings before she follows up with Smell The Roses! She hooks the leg for the pin.

1!

2!

Syren gets a shoulder up! Crystal looks stunned as Lexy breathes a sigh of relief out on the floor.

Sharper: “Crystal catching Syren and only getting two off of it, but she’s got Syren in a bad way right now.”

Kayl: “She’s going to need a little more, though. Syren went through an absolute war back at Under Attack and survived, so Crystal’s going to need something big if she wants to put the Hall of Famer away.”

Crystal looks frustrated as Syren starts to stir, the gears turning as she tries to figure out what might put Syren away. As Syren gets back to her feet, Crystal grabs her head, but Syren tries to resist whatever she’s got planned and throw her off. Crystal manages to hold, though, before she leaps up into a backflip, looking for the Flame On, but Syren uses all her strength to push Crystal up and cause her to over-rotate, slipping free of her grasp and twisting so that Crystal is instead dropped into the Total Makeover! The fans are on their feet at the impressive counter as Syren rolls Crystal over and goes for the pin, hooking the leg.

3!

Jennifer Cassidy calls for the bell as “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the speakers again. Syren pulls herself back to her feet as Jennifer Cassidy raises her arm in victory, only for Lexy to slide into the ring and push her out of the way so she can take over in raising Syren’s arm.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Syren!”

Sharper: “Syren following up a big win at Under Attack here tonight with a victory over Crystal Zdunich, and that impressive counter into the Total Makeover shows you just how much Syren is determined to stay at the top of her game.”

Kayl: “She may have to wait because of James Evans wasting no time in cashing in his Trios contract, but make no mistake: she wants both James and Cid to be very well aware that she’s coming for whoever wins between them.”

Lexy leans forward as she keeps raising Syren’s arm, grinning into the camera.

Chapel: “See this? This is your REAL World Champion right here! Don’t get too comfy James, because we’re going to undo this injustice and Syren’s getting her rightful shot!”

Syren just sighs and shakes her head, though the smirk on her lips betrays her amusement at Lexy’s antics. She pulls her arm away and goes to leave the ring, with Lexy scurrying after her once she realizes her client’s leaving as Crystal slowly stirs in the ring, looking disappointed and frustrated with this latest defeat.

COMMERCIALS

Blue and white lights flash as a fast drumbeat fills the arena followed by the words:

{I will not be afraid! I will not be afraid!}

The crowd roars as Amy Chastaine appears at the top of the stage. “Hell & Consequences” by Stone Sour continues. She looks around the arena as she steps forward and scans the crowd. She takes a few deep breaths scanning the crowd. Blue and red pyro shoots out in the air. She then heads to the ring.

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine came out earlier and attacked James Evans. We understand she’s been in conversation with Dean Black all night.”

Kayl: “It started in the ring earlier. James Evans already moving onto Cid Turner. Amy Chastaine clearly wants to prevent that and there’s still nothing resolved there.”

{'Ive done this on my own, and I don’t care what you do to me,
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long, to let you take it away from me,
it's too late to stop me, cause I refuse to die.}

Reaching the ring, Amy hops onto the apron. Stepping through the ropes, Amy then goes to the near corner and demands a microphone from Jason Phillips. Phillips walks over and hands her the microphone. Chastaine takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring.

Chastaine: “Cut the music, please.”

The crowd cheers a bit as the music abruptly cuts. Amy Chastaine looks around before moving right over to the corner where a cameraman is set up.

Chastaine: “You stay right there and the people in the truck, stay on this camera. Because I’m talking right to you, James Evans!”

The crowd roars.

Chastaine: “You’ve got your Trios contract. You’ve already cashed it in. But the fact is as I reminded you earlier, we are far from done! And if you want to stand here and talk about being World Champion and breaking Cid Turner, I would be a pretty shitty person if I did not step up to you and tell you the hell you are!”

The crowd roars.

Chastaine: “Trios Tournament prevented us from ending this at Under Attack. But I’ve arranged the next best thing. Because I’ve been fighting for years and while I may not have too much left in the tank, I have one more thing I want to do in my professional wrestling career and that is take you James Evans and kill every last one of your dreams and end you as a force in this sport!”

The crowd cheers.

Chastaine: “And this time, we’re not going to have some referee get involved. We’re going to get what we both want – we both want no rules, well don’t worry, I’ve secured that and in the best place I can offer…One more night for me and I can retire in my hometown having left the greatest legacy I can! Next week in New Orleans!”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Retire?!”

Chastaine: “That’s right…I know the moments are ticking away and frankly before this all started with the Fall of Man, I was already thinking of dedicating myself to the future. Well, I can start a bit earlier and secure the best future I can for this sport. One more time I come to the ring, James. And in New Orleans, here on Breakdown, in my home town…we leave it all out there. A New Orleans Street Fight. And James…the only reality that’s going to be shattered…is yours when I leave you done whether in this ring or in the backstage area or in the street. And then I know I can leave this sport as I want to!”

Chastaine backs up as the crowd looks on and an “Amy!” chant begins. Amy looks around before we hear a low chuckle. Amy looks around as we cut backstage to see James Evans backstage, a monitor nearby.

Evans: “Amy…if this is how you want to go out, I’m not going to disagree. But you’re not walking out victorious. While you can claim to focus on the future, I’m focusing on me. See you in New Orleans next week. At least your family can easily visit you-“

Suddenly, James Evans is attacked by a woman. Evans staggers back and is taken down before we see that the person is Ryan LeCavalier! We cut fully backstage to see Ryan getting a few shots in on Evans before she goes over and grabs a production light and lifts it up and goes to attack Evans with it. Evans moves out of the way as LeCavalier throws it into the concrete floor.

Sharper: “Ryan LeCavalier is attacking James Evans!”

Kayl: “Okay! So the split with Fall of Man was not good. Was not mutual. We weren’t sure when James Evans didn’t come out with them at Under Attack!”

Ryan runs over to James and grabs him, but James turns and runs her into a door. Ryan falls through the door and moves forward. Evans follows after and Ryan gets up as James steps through. We then realize we’re in the back loading area where some of the talent have parked. James walks over and grabs Ryan. Ryan then elbows him in the ribs and then nails him with a hard right and then another and another before Ryan jumps up and tries to take him down by the arm. Evans blocks it and then nails her in the rib with a shot and then another before running her over into parked car. Ryan goes into it and falls over. James Evans then turns and grabs her, but Ryan rakes his eyes. Evans staggers and Ryan runs at him and nails him with a couple more hard right hands before then throwing her down. She hits the concrete and rolls over. James staggers off.

Sharper: “James just throwing Ryan down. Ryan tenaciously keeps on attacking him.”

Kayl: “James may not make it to Shattered Reality.”

Sharper: “James is just out of dodge now. First Amy, now Ryan…”

Kayl: “Cid Turner may be waiting for his chance. Is he even here in Boise?”

Sharper: “Cid is in Chicago, where he currently resides with his family.”

Ryan starts to get up.

LeCavalier: “You’re not running from this. You don’t move on from him!”

LeCavalier takes a few deep breaths and starts to look around. LeCavalier keeps scanning the area.

LeCavalier: “Where the hell did you go? You coward!”

LeCavalier yells before we hear the screech of tires. LeCavalier turns around as we see a silver sedan turn towards LeCavalier and then speed up. LeCavalier goes up and over the hood and down to the ground. The Sedan stops and we see the driver’s side window slide down. James Evans just smirks.

Evans: “Right here…”

Evans then starts to drive off.

Sharper: “My God! Oh my God! James Evans just ran down Ryan LeCavalier!”

Kayl: “Jesus Christ!”

Ryan LeCavalier is down on the concrete. We then see officials running into the scene. The camera remains on Ryan before panning up to show James Evans pulling out of the parking lot and the scene cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see EMTs backstage, placing Ryan LeCavalier, who is now on a backboard, onto a stretcher. Dean Black is overseeing matters as other officials are around. They start to roll Ryan LeCavalier towards an ambulance that has been pulled in to the area. The camera then turns as we see Hiro Tanaka talking to Lucas Knight, but we also see Amy Chastaine watching with Simon Lyman standing next to him. The camera moves towards them. Simon just looks out.

Simon: “You need to destroy James.”

Amy just looks out.

Amy: “I know….”

Amy Chastaine turns and heads back into the arena.

Selena Frost vs. The European Fiery Nation

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: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is a two on one handicap match. First, on her way to the ring, 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: “Selena Frost wanted this. Got this match. She made clear this is something she went to Mr. Frank Delatosso, the head of the investors group that is financing SCW today.”

Kayl: “And she’s clearly hoping to prove she can handle the Glimmers. But the EFN are a very different team. Different strategy.”

Sharper: “At this point, Selena just wants to shut Dean Black, and if he’s watching, Alex Desoubrais, up.”

“Off To War” by Behemoth plays over the sound system with the lights being dark as ever. Ginny Raab, Ludvig Eriksson, and Dakon Theron, walk out from the back. All three wave their flags as the crowd boos. They look down at the ring and at Selena Frost. Frost tells them to come to the ring.

Phillips: “And her opponents, accompanied by Ginny Raab, coming from Turkey, Sweden, Norway and Germany, they are Kemal Yilmaz, Ludvig Eriksson, Dakon Theron, Oskar Theron and Konrad Raab, known as The European Fiery Nation."

The lights go out again as the trio walks down to the ring with their flags. They walk up the steel steps and then step into the ring. Theron and Eriksson hold up their arms as Ginny looks on. They then hand off their flags to Ginny. She takes them and heads to the back. Ludvig and Dakon start to stretch as Selena watches them.

Sharper: “Dakon Theron and Ludvig Eriksson are a well-oiled machine. And they are looking to humiliate Selena Frost if they have the opportunity.”

Kayl: “And Selena Frost was given the option of a partner. She didn’t take it. Didn’t want it. And here we are.”

Aaron Demitra, the referee for the match, calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Selena then runs across the ring and jumps up and dropkicks Dakon Theron in the jaw. Theron falls back and goes up and over the top rope to the floor. Eriksson turns and nails Selena with a hard right and then another and another before running her into the neutral corner. Eriksson follows up with a couple of hard rights and then a left before going for a big haymaker, but Selena ducks and spins around. Eriksson turns and Selena hits a shoot kick to the chest. She hits another and another. Eriksson ends up in the corner and Selena hits a fourth kick before jumping to the middle rope and hitting a back kick to the jaw of Eriksson. He staggers out and stumbles to a knee.

Sharper: “Divide and conquer for Frost. Theron still getting up on the floor. Frost with those educated feet.”

Kayl: “Dazing Eriksson. She’s going to focus on the smaller of the two it looks like.”

Eriksson gets up and Selena waits for him to turn around and blasts him with a dropkick. She then dives over to him and nails him with a couple of hard right hands as Eriksson moves to the ropes. He starts to pull himself up and Selena moves to his side and then pushes him down onto the middle rope. She starts to choke him.

Selena then steps off and kicks Eriksson in the stomach. He pops back and rolls over. He starts to get up and Selena then kicks him in the ribs, grabs his arm and hits a back kick to the jaw. Eriksson goes down and Theron pulls himself back up and Selena runs over and dropkicks him off again. Theron drops down and turns, clearly annoyed as Selena then turns around and Eriksson grabs her and hits a hot shot. The crowd roars. Selena falls back, holding her throat. She then turns to Demitra, pointing at it. She pops up and turns around and Eriksson runs at her and hits a lunging diving European uppercut, knocking her back down.

Sharper: “And Eriksson drops Selena. Selena got a bit too focused on keeping this one on one. But Eriksson caught her.”

Kayl: “Did you see she was pointing to her throat? I think she was trying to get Demitra to get involved.”

Sharper: “She’s one of the best at manipulating the match to her favour. She’s now adopted every trick all in service of her greater goal.”

Eriksson grabs her and drags her over and tags in Theron. Theron enters and Eriksson holds her up only for Theron to hit the ropes and hits a vicious clothesline, out of Eriksson’s Russian leg sweep. Theron then gets up and drives his elbow into the chest of Selena. Theron hits a second elbow drop before then just starting to choke her.

Theron lets go and Selena turns, coughing, catching her breath. She starts to slowly pull herself up and Theron tags in Eriksson. Eriksson enters the ring and the two whip Selena into the ropes. She bounces off and then launch her up and hit a huge double flapjack. The crowd ohs. Eriksson geos for the pin.

Frost kicks out.

Sharper: “Two count as the EFN drives Selena down. She may have just bit off more than she can chew.”

Kayl: “Don’t tell her that. She’ll kick you in the face.”

Sharper: “Right now, that’s just how it looks.”

Frost rolls over and Eriksson grabs her and hits a snapmare. He runs into the ropes, diving off and hitting a lunging forearm smash. He turns and tags in Theron. Theron enters the ring and runs over and hits a running leg drop. He goes for the pin.

Selena kicks out again. Theron then looks down and grabs her by the hair. He then runs her over and drives her face first into the top turnbuckle of the neutral corner. Selena turns and Theron hits a European uppercut. Selena grimaces and Theron hits a second one. Selena staggers along the ropes and turns and Theron blasts her with a hard right. She drops to the mat. She grabs at the ropes, starting to get up and Theron grabs her and pulls her up and through the ropes, before pulling her against the top rope, stretching her back.

Theron lets go and he snaps at Demitra. Eriksson enters the ring and Theron grabs Selena and starts to try and pull her back again, but Selena fights and then hits a mule kick. Theron turns around, dropping to his hands and knees, and holding himself in pain. Selena walks along the ropes. Eriksson exits as Demitra turns back.

Kayl: “That’s one way to get back in it!”

Sharper: “Below the belt. The mule kick. Eriksson trying to buy Theron time to keep stretching Frost out. But instead, Frost unwittingly took advantage.”

Theron starts to get up and Selena runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hits a spinning heel kick to the back of Theron’s head. Theron drops to the mat. Selena turns and climbs up to the middle rope and then to the top rope. She glances back and hits a moonsault right on target. She goes for the pin.

Eriksson breaks it up. Selena rolls off and Eriksson stomps her in the chest and then again and again. Selena rolls over and Demitra stops him. Eriksson is pulled back as Selena then starts to get up and Theron grabs her and hits a snap high angle back suplex. Eriksson exits the ring. Theron hooks the leg. Demitra turns back.

Selena gets her shoulder up. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “And Theron made sure he took advantage of the opening Eriksson got. Selena almost folded up.”

Kayl: “Just got that shoulder up. Just got it up!”

Selena turns as Dakon Theron then turns and tags in Eriksson. Eriksson starts to climb up to the top rope. Selena rolls over and Theron grabs her and hoists her up and holds her up. Eriksson gets up and Selena then rakes the eyes and manages to slide down before dropkicking Theron into the ropes. Eriksson lands hard on the top turnbuckle, crotch first. He grimaces in pain and Selena then staggers over. She then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and then to the top. She looks at Eriksson before jumping up and hitting a top rope frankensteiner, sending Eriksson to the middle of the ring. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Selena counters. And then the frankensteiner!”

Kayl: “Snapping Eriksson off. Hard landing in the middle of the ring. But Theron is still in there!”

Selena gets up and Theron runs at her, but Selena drops down and grabs his tights and pulls him forward, causing him to fall through the ropes to the floor. Selena then turns and crawls over to Eriksson and covers him.

1!

2!

Theron gets up and reaches in, pulling Demitra out of the ring. Theron then grabs Demitra and throws him down. The crowd ohs. Selena looks up as Theron looks under the ring and grabs a steel chair. He lifts it up, but Selena heads over and hits a dropkick through the ropes. Theron falls back. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Selena Frost knocks Theron back. Theron decided it best to just turn it into their fight.”

Kayl: “Bring in some weapons. Just throwing Demitra down.”

Sharper: “And Frost saw it.”

Eriksson stirs as Selena turns and nails Eriksson with a hard right and then a chop. Eriksson hits a European uppercut. Selena falls back. Eriksson grabs her and runs her into the corner. He nails her a couple of times before backing up and running at her, but Selena gets a boot up. Eriksson staggers back and Selena steps up and kicks him in the ribs and hits the Icebreaker. Eriksson rolls over. Selena rolls to the floor and looks under the ring. She grabs a steel chair and rolls back into the ring. Theron slides his chair in as Selena gets up. The bell sounds as Demitra calls for the bell.

Phillips: “Fans, the winner of this match as a result of a disqualification, Selena Frost!”

The boos continue as Selena stands in the ring. She then runs over and swings at the ropes as Dakon Theron gets up. He’s knocked back. Eriksson stirs as Selena turns and runs at him and slams the chair into his back. Eriksson rolls out of the ring. Just then, the crowd erupts as we see Gia and Gina Glimmer, holding their World Tag Team Championships, walk out from the back. They turn to one another and then start to head to the ring. Selena Frost motions for them to come to the ring.

Sharper: “Demitra has disqualified the EFN. Selena Frost grabbing a chair to make this a more even fight.”

Kayl: “But she now has a new issue. Here come the Glimmer Sisters! Here come the Tag Champs!”

Sharper: “Selena says she can take them by herself. Here you go!”

Selena stands in the ring as Gia and Gina reach the ring. Just as they do this, Dakon Theron slides into the ring and runs at Selena. Selena turns and swings at him. She catches Dakon’s arm, causing him to drop to the mat, only for Gia and Gina to rush the ring. They then pop up and run at Selena. Selena turns as Gia, we think, tackles Selena down as Gina, we think, runs over and forearms her in the head. Selena goes down as Gia and Gina start to hammer away on her. The crowd cheers as they do.

Sharper: “Theron with the brief distraction and the Glimmers striking!”

Kayl: “Not looking good for Selena!”

Selena covers up as Gia nails her with a series of hard right hands. She rolls off as Gina then stomps away on Selena, driving her boot over and over and over again into the ribs of Selena. Gia then stomps her a few times after as Gina walks around the ring. Gia then grabs Selena and starts to lift her up before then holding her by the arms and turns her to Gina who lunges and hits a jumping hip check to the face. Selena falls to the mat. The crowd roars as Gina walks around. Gia leans over to her.

Gia: “Thought you could take us, huh?”

Gina: “Just like everyone else, finding out that no one is enough for either of us, Gia!”

Selena rolls over as the crowd chants for the Glimmers before Gina grabs Selena and pulls her up into the corner. Selena looks up at her as Gia then steps up and leans in, pressing her chest into her before pulling back and nailing Selena with repeated right hands to the face. She jumps down and whips her out and into Gina who hits a jumping leg lariat. Selena hits the mat. Dakon Theron and Ludvig Eriksson look on as Selena rolls over. Gia follows up and stomps away on Selena as the crowd erupts. Dakon and Ludvig see this and walk around the ring as we see Xander Valentine storming down from the back.

Sharper: “My God! It’s Xander Valentine!”

Kayl: “I guarantee he’s not down here to help Selena!”

Sharper: “He has his own issues with the Glimmer Sisters!”

Dakon runs over and Xander boots him in the face before nailing Ludvig with a hard haymaker before he pulls himself onto the apron. He steps into the ring as Gina turns and lunges at Xander and goes for a superkick, but Xander catches her leg. He spins her around and then grabs her by the throat. Gia turns to her and Xander lifts Gina and chokeslams her into Gia, taking both down. Gia hits the mat. Gina rolls over. Xander grabs her and throws her out of the ring. Gia runs at him and Xander boots her. She hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. Xander then turns and looks as if he is going to boot Selena, but Selena’s a step faster, and hits Xander with the Glass Shard!

Sharper: “Xander taking down the Glimmers, but then, he was going to nail Selena, but Selena hit the Glass Shard!”

Kayl: “She realized she could be a target. Xander and Selena hate each other just as much!”

Selena falls to her knees and looks around as Xander is laid out. Gia and Gina get up and Selena crawls for the World Tag Team Championship belts, but Gia reaches in and pulls both titles out of the ring. She backs away as Gina staggers over to her. Selena looks at them glaring.

Sharper: “Selena trying to grab at the tag titles. Glimmers get them back. But even alone, Selena Frost had trouble with both Glimmers.”

Kayl: “Most teams have!”

Selena keeps watching he Glimmers as we see the EFN now starting to head to the ring as the scene slowly fades to black…
