“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

“The leading force in sports and entertainment today....”

MAIN SHOW:

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

Maybe I'm just paranoid

Or maybe I'm just livin' a lie

Can't stop this screamin' voice

Or maybe I'm just sick inside

Shots of Kandis hitting Gratuitous on an opponent, before showing 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 Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. 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: “We’re nestled in the Rocky Mountains. Breakdown comes to you live from Denver!”

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

Sharper: “Welcome to ringside. Adam Sharper here with Devon Kayl. And tonight, some big matches to say the least, capped off with Konrad Raab facing off against the Underground Champion, Enigma, in an Underground rules match.”

Kayl: “We’ll also see Selena Frost and Xander Valentine each in action. And we have Amy Chastaine’s final speech, after Breakdown went off the air. We’ll hear that later.”

Sharper: “Not only that, but we’ll get more insight into what to expect from James Evans’s Trios cash-in. What is a Shattered Reality match? We’ll find out, but first…the SCW World Champion, Denver’s own, Cid Turner to start us off!”

The lights slowly dim down. The crowd buzzes in anticipation, many of them taking their phones out and lighting up the arena with their flashlights. After a few moments of silence, “Dark Child” by Marlon Williams plays as the lights flash back on. The big screen shows several highlights of Cid Turner's career as the song continues to play. The crowd roars as Cid makes his way onto the stage, looking tensely out into the crowd. Cid takes a moment to let it all soak in before he begins his walk down the ramp. The SCW World Championship is around his waist.

“My little blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy

One day you'll grow up and be distressed

One day you'll grow up and reject everything

I've set out for you”

Cid continues his walk down the ramp and keeps his eye on the ring while continually muttering to himself. Cid reaches the ring and climbs up the steps, slowly walking across the apron to the corner and pulling himself up onto the second rope, standing on the turnbuckle and looking around the arena while taking a deep breath. He pounds his chest and peers out into the sea of people.

“My only dear long wasteful son

One day you'll wonder what you've become”

The music begins to fade out as Cid climbs down from the ropes and enters the ring, making his way to the corner where he grabs a microphone waiting for him. He then turns back to the middle of the ring and looks around. A “Cid!” chant begins as the music fades out. Cid looks around, enjoying the reaction, scanning the crowd, as the chants continue to echo throughout.

Cid: “So…uh…Denver….”

The crowd roars.

Cid: “I…I’m home?”

Cid looks around as the crowd cheers again and the “Cid!” chant returns.

Cid: “I don’t know what to think. It’s good to be home, but last week, I saw someone else return home and face the man who wants to destroy me and take my title, beat them in their hometown and this is a bit bittersweet!”

Cid shakes his head.

Cid: “He said he’ll destroy me. And…that I’m going to have to turn back the clock. To look in the mirror. To be who I was. That Cid Turner….it’s part of me, but it’s the past. And I’m right now here in the present. They keep saying it’s a Cinderella run, but for me, it’s a only option remaining run. I’m not giving up this title easily or without a fight…then again, I guess that’s the point.”

Cid walks around the ring.

Cid: “And it’s in a shattered reality match…whatever the hell that means? I’m going to find out later tonight. Then again, maybe it’s all in James’s mind. He’s had problems with that I understand. I’ve never really had to deal with it and I don’t get the hatred, but then again, he’s wanted to be the big dog for a while, and right now, I guess I’m a milkbone.”

Cid shrugs.

Cid: “Okay, that was cheesy. But…”

Cid turns to the crowd.

Cid: “What am I going to say? Amelia Nevado – she wanted to prove herself and gave me a hell of a fight. Glory Braddock said she’d outwrestle me. At times she nearly did, but I managed to win. I survived both. Neither planned to destroy me…and I watched James Evans try to do just that to Amy Chastaine. Using a screwdriver, a toolbox…powerbombing her on any hard surface, including the damn table. And I felt every slam.”

Cid pauses.

Cid: “I felt every strike. It’s why I came out…I had to see what probably is awaiting me. I don’t think James is planning to have me in a catch-as-catch-can match. Those days of him being a boring asshole are gone. He’s now just a mean, bitter man that thinks he’s owed everything and will do everything to get it….and that includes destroying me.”

Cid pauses again.

Cid: “I don’t know if I’ll have my family at Shattered Reality. Just in case, just in case this may be the end. I don’t know if I want to have that then weighing on me. But James…trust me when I say I am going to do all I can to make sure you’re not World Champion. I’ve said it time and time again…you’ll have to kill me to take this title. You’ll have to make so I have nothing left. And James…I’m ready for the challenge!”

Cid stops and looks down.

Cid: “I have to be.”

Cid brings the microphone down to his side. “Dark Child” starts to play again as Cid just looks at the camera and then turns and places the microphone back on the apron for ring announce Jason Phillips to take. Cid then steps through the ropes. He drops to the floor and goes to the front row fans, high-fiving them and shaking their hands.

Kayl: “I don’t know what to make of him. Not as confident as we’ve seen.”

Sharper: “But not resigned either, except that he knows it will be a very different match. And he may even be thinking back to the ladder match and the punishment he took.”

Kayl: “Everything hurts that much more. It’s weighing on him. He may not bring his family.”

Sharper: “He’s planning to win, but on one hand, preparing for a night he may wish to forget!”

Kayl: “When was the last time we saw him greeting fans like this?”

Cid Turner walks around the ring, continuing to greet fans in the front row. The camera follows him round before we cut away.

Backstage, we see Selena Frost pacing in the SCW interview area. Jessica Winters stands with her.

Winters: “Welcome backstage – I’m Jessica Winters here alongside Selena Frost. Selena, in a few moments, you’re about to face David Striker-“

Selena: “Another waste of time. How many more times do I have to show that I’m above this. I’ve beaten a team. I’ve done what I needed to do. And I’m still jumping through hoops. Oh yeah, I’m also undefeated since Rise to Greatness. No one outside of Cid ‘part-time’ Turner can say that. So….I’m still spinning my wheels. I am the franchise around here. And I’m getting sick a damn tired of the disrespect!”

Selena looks at the camera.

Selena: “So I’m going to go out there and I’m going to beat the hell out of David Striker. And when I come back backstage, I better be told that the Glimmer Sisters are MINE! Believe it!”

Selena turns and storms off. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Selena Frost faces David Striker, next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Selena Frost vs. David Striker

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

Suddenly the lights in the arena slowly start to act up until finally they go out completely and then one by one, as the sound of a single piano key constantly being played slowly drops into a powerful bass line.

<These tears fall upon your alter>
<so clear now I have had my taste>
<this fear>
<left us so unholy>
<So cold as we test our faith>

A singular pale spotlight highlights the entranceway as David Striker walks onto the entrance as the video wall starts to play some of his more signature moments of his time in SCW before he makes his way down to the ring as "Nothing Left" by Everyone loves a Villain continues to play.

Philips: “Introducing first, representing the Shinigami Foundation, from Cameron, North Carolina, he is The Dark Horse… David Striker!”

David focuses on the ring as he makes his way down the rampway.

<There's nothing left but the hate inside>
<that I've come to find is the grief I can't let go>
<a cruel divide that I can't disguise>
<with a fragile mind as my heart betrays my soul>

Striker continues to head to the ring. He then runs forward and slides in. He gets up and walks around the ring before turning and going to the corner. He looks around the stadium before hopping down.

Sharper: “Ever since he came back from the horrific injury he sustained at the hands of Gavin Taylor following the Scaffold Scramble at Rise to Greatness, David Striker has been dead set on one thing above all else: getting payback.”

Kayl: “The problem is that Gavin, for better or worse, has answered Striker’s retribution with his own sickening displays. Gavin cost Striker his U.S. Title shot back at Apocalypse, he managed to escape with a win when they met at Under Attack, and let’s not forget what Gavin’s so-called security team did to Chris Dumont a few weeks ago!”

Sharper: “Gavin showing no care for the rift that had formed between Striker and Dumont or even Dumont’s focus on Shot of Adrenaline, but Gavin may be the least of Striker’s problems here in a moment.”

Kayl: “Yeah, because he’s about to face someone who’s already made it clear that both him and this match are completely beneath her, and he’s got a hell of an opportunity to prove her wrong.”

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.

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!

Phillips: “His opponent, from Nome, Alaska, she is The Snow Queen, The Face of SCW… Selena Frost!”

We briefly cut to the ring to see David Striker look annoyed at how Jason Phillips introduced Selena. 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 as we see referee Steve Hollinsworth make sure Striker stays back until he can officially get this match underway. 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 and the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “Selena Frost has made no secret of her frustrations as of late.”

Kayl: “If anything, she’s been getting more and more vocal about it.”

Sharper: “You already mentioned comments she made about this match being beneath her. She wants Cid Turner and the World Title, she wants the Glimmer Sisters and the World Tag Titles and refuses to have a partner in that pursuit…”

Kayl: “Selena practically wants the world right now and she’s not accepting that the world might not want that in return. At least the World Title’s understandable because James Evans used his Trios contract immediately, but you have to wonder how much longer she’s willing to wait before she gets a Tag Title shot somehow. I mean, she’s already made it clear she might be going above CHBK’s head and getting someone like Frank Delatossa to sign off on it!”

Steve Hollinsworth signals for the bell and Striker wastes no time in rushing Selena, looking to catch her right out of the gate with a running shotei palm strike, but Selena ducks it and sends Striker into the corner. He gets a boot up to stop himself from crashing into the turnbuckles, but he turns right into a blistering chop from Selena! She follows this up with another stiff chop across the chest, smirking and taking her time with this. Striker tries to swing with an elbow strike during the pause, but Selena ducks it and sweeps his legs out from under him to send him facefirst into the mat. She stomps away at the downed Striker, just shaking her head and mumbling about how pointless this match is.

Kayl: “And there you see it clear as day: Selena taking this match lightly because she feels it's beneath her.”

Sharper: “This is normally not a mistake Selena risks making, but this is also a very different Selena Frost than the one I've known for so many years.”

Kayl: “Yeah, one who's been to the top so much she feels entitled to it now!”

Striker starts to get to his feet, but he turns just in time for Selena to catch him with a spinning wheel kick! She looks out at the booing fans and motions that she's done with this match. She pulls Striker to his feet in a front facelock, perhaps already thinking of going for The Icebreaker, but Striker suddenly twists free, grabbing Selena's wrist in the process before pulling her in for a short-arm clothesline! Selena quickly gets back to her feet but gets caught by a rolling wheel kick from Striker that knocks her against the ropes. Striker goes to irish whip her across the ring, but Selena twists through. Before she can think to do anything, Striker tries to boot her in the gut, but she catches his foot. She grins and shakes her head at him, but Striker just grins back before catching Selena with an enzuigiri!

Sharper: “As I said, not a mistake Selena normally makes, but she thinks so little of Striker that she's not taking him seriously.”

Kayl: “That's what Striker needs to capitalize on, because if he can beat Selena here tonight... well, that'd be an upset that'll definitely humble her a little bit!”

Selena falls into the ropes, leaning on them as she looks a little dazed and even more irritated than before. Striker immediately starts clubbing her across the back as Hollinsworth moves in to start counting since Selena is holding onto the top rope. Before he can even start, however, Selena throws a back elbow that catches Striker in the jaw. He's stunned for a moment and she goes to throw a second one, but Striker catches her arm! He pulls the other one away from the ropes and hooks it as well before taking Selena over in a snap dragon suplex! Selena tries to get back to her feet, but Striker catches her with a gamengiri! He goes for the cover, hooking the leg.

Selena kicks out! Striker wastes no time in stomping away at her much as she did to him a little bit ago.

Sharper: “David Striker is all over Selena Frost right now, really trying to make her regret thinking that he's beneath her and this match would be a foregone conclusion!”

Kayl: “Maybe he doesn't see Selena Frost beneath every stomp right now. Maybe he sees Gavin Taylor getting exactly what Striker thinks he deserves!”

Striker pulls Selena to her feet and goes to irish whip her into the corner, but Selena reverses it and sends him in. Striker manages to float up and over the top rope, landing on the apron, before Selena charges him. Striker blocks the shot she intended before grabbing her head and smashing it into the top turnbuckle. As Selena turns into the corner, Striker sweeps her legs out from under her to drop her into a seated position before he slingshots himself into a corner dropkick, completing the Demon’s Run! Striker nods to himself as he pulls himself back to his feet and measures Selena before he runs into the opposite corner, bouncing off the turnbuckles like a pinball before he charges full speed for a corner double knee smash, but Selena manages to duck it and Striker’s knees hit nothing but the turnbuckle! He staggers out of the corner, wincing and clutching at his knees, and Selena pulls herself up and grabs him in an inverted headlock before spinning into a lariat drop! She goes for the cover.

Striker gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Striker starting to build a ton of momentum there, but Selena using his aggressiveness against him to turn the tables.”

Kayl: “Maybe she’s starting to realize this match might not be so beneath her after all, because David Striker is bringing the fight!”

Selena runs a hand through her hair, pushing her braid out of the way as she glares at Hollinsworth, as if silently demanding he change his mind about the two count and just declare her the winner. Striker slowly starts to pull himself back to his feet, and as he turns, Selena catches him with a crescent kick to the side of the head, knocking him into the corner. Selena starts unloading on him with alternating kicks to the gut and uppercuts to the chin, ignoring the booing fans as she clearly looks done with this match. Hollinsworth goes to start counting for a break, but Selena switches positions with Striker and just shoots Hollinsworth a look as she climbs up to the second turnbuckle and pulls Striker into a front facelock before leaping and planting him with a tornado DDT! She goes for another cover, hooking the leg this time.

1!

2!

Strike gets his shoulder up again! Selena looks more frustrated this time as she almost gets in Hollinsworth’s face about the count, but he stands his ground about the two count.

Sharper: “Frustration starting to set in as Striker’s proving maybe a little more resilient than Selena figured.”

Kayl: “Shows how much she’s been paying attention to anything that’s not her own efforts as of late. If Striker wasn’t ready to fight like hell tonight even just to send a message to Gavin, I’d have had some questions.”

Striker uses the ropes to help pull himself back to his feet as Selena turns her attention back to him. He turns around and staggers right into The Claim-Stake, sending him falling back against the ropes! Selena tosses her braid back over her shoulder and charges, using the ropes to try and rebound Striker into the Cold-Snapmare, but Striker manages to keep Selena held up before dropping her across his knee in a backbreaker! The fans start cheering as Striker takes a moment to get his bearings while Selena pulls herself up. She grits her teeth in anger and goes to grab him, but Striker boots her in the gut and lifts her into a hammerlock cradle hold before dropping her into the Monster Mash! He drags her away from the ropes before following this up with a standing Viva la BAM! Striker pulls himself into the cover, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Selena gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Striker absorbing Selena’s offense and managing to turn the tables on her, and now he’s got her in a bad way!”

Kayl: “You know Selena’s going to be furious as soon as she realizes this, but Striker needs to keep the pressure on her now.”

Striker pulls himself up and backs away, measuring Selena as she slowly starts to rise. Once she’s up enough, he runs off the ropes behind her and goes for the Deadly Rave, but Selena manages to duck underneath it before running off the same set of ropes and catching him with the Cold Shoulder instead! Selena looks down at Striker with disgust as she goes to the corner and climbs to the top turnbuckle, perhaps thinking moonsault. She sees Striker already pulling himself to his feet, though, and changes tactics, instead turning and running along the top rope in an impressive display of balance before she leaps off and catches him with the Alaskan Dragonrana! She reaches back and hooks his legs, holding the rana position for the pin.

1!

2!

Striker manages to kick out! Selena pounds the mat, almost losing it now at the fact that she hasn’t put Striker away yet. As he slowly starts trying to pull himself back to his feet, she runs off the ropes, springboarding off the middle one and looking for Defying Gravity, but Striker manages to duck it and Selena crashes to the mat! She starts getting back to her feet, but Striker runs off the ropes behind her and leaps over her shoulder into the Black Meteor!

Sharper: “Black Meteor from Striker after Selena missed Defying Gravity! Selena could be in trouble here!”

Kayl: “David Striker may be closing in on the upset of the year!”

Striker nods to himself, grinning as he motions for Selena to get up, measuring her. Selena ends up rolling over towards the ropes as Hollinsworth instinctively checks on her to make sure everything’s alright. As this happens, the fans begin booing as the camera catches Kemal Yilmaz running down the ramp before sliding into the ring! Before he can even do anything, however, Striker cuts him off with the Yamato! Kemal rolls out of the ring and to the floor as Hollinsworth turns, just barely catching Kemal’s body leaving the ring as he questions Striker about it, but Striker ignores him to return to measuring a slow-rising Selena.

Sharper: “Kemal Yilmaz, trying to get involved in this match for God knows what reason!”

Kayl: “Hard to tell why, honestly! He seems to be trying to work with Gavin to deal with Striker, but the European Fiery Nation as a whole have been trying to take out Selena in hopes of maybe getting a World Tag Title opportunity!”

Selena finally manages to get back to her feet and staggers around into Striker, who hooks her for the Equivalent Exchange! As he goes to plant her, though, Selena spins out before catching Striker as he turns towards her with The Glass Shard! The fans are booing as Striker hits the mat and Selena looks down at him with disdain before she starts to go for the cover. The booing only intensifies, however, as Dakon Theron and Ludvig Eriksson suddenly slide into the ring and start dogpiling on Selena, beating her down with clubbing blows and stomps as Hollinsworth calls for the bell!

Sharper: “Dakon and Ludvig out here now, assaulting Selena!”

Kayl: “That’s going to give her the DQ win, but I doubt she’s going to be celebrating once they’re done with her!”

Selena tries to fight them off, but Dakon and Ludvig are relentless and taking full advantage of the match she just wrestled. Dakon hauls Selena to her feet and irish whips her into the ropes, he and Ludvig looking for the European United Drop, but Striker suddenly clobbers Ludvig from behind with the Deadly Rave! Selena hooks the top rope to stop herself as she watches Striker start brawling with Dakon now, only for Kemal to slide back into the ring and deliver a double axe handle smash to Striker’s back!

Sharper: “I think the European Fiery Nation are out here for both Striker and Selena, and they’re just looking to wreak havoc!”

Kayl: “Well, Striker’s about to get some help!”

Kemal and Dakon begin beating down on Striker together until the crowd starts cheering as Dante Slayton, Wil Pierce and Alex Belmont all storm the ring! All three of them slide in, and even with Ludvig recovering to throw himself into the mix, the ensuing brawl starts to turn in the favor of the Shinigami Foundation due to the numbers. Selena, still leaning against the ropes, just shakes her head in sheer disgust before she climbs out of the ring and starts storming to the back, frustrated and infuriated by how things just broke down.

Sharper: “This was far from the cakewalk she thought it was and you can tell by the look on her face how angry she is over being attacked again.”

Kayl: “She’s been pretty vocal about how sick and tired she is of it, but think about Striker! If Kemal was out here for him, he could’ve won this match if he’d have just taken a bullet. But we’ve got a huge fight breaking down out here!”

Officials run past Selena, swarming the ring to try and break up the brawl as Selena watches them pass by her, almost laughing in sheer disbelief at how this all played out before she shakes her head and storms to the back, just completely done with all of this before the camera cuts back to the continuing brawl between the Shinigami Foundation and the European Fiery Nation, officials trying to separate both groups as best as they can.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Derek Adonis alongside his KABLAMia Tourism Board, standing across from CHBK outside of CHBK’s office. Autumn Valentine, Dean Black and Lucas Knight are with CHBK.

Adonis: “Look…I….why…”

Adonis clears his throat.

Adonis: “I thought we were a good partnership. I thought we were happy with A Wholesome Family Event. And look, I didn’t mean to make Xander upset-“

CHBK: “Derek, please…look, I didn’t make the match. This was something decided before I was back from my injury leave.”

Adonis: “But can’t you undo it. I mean, I’m sorry I didn’t help Xander win, but I tried. I always put maximum effort. Man Mountain always fights to completion!....KABLAM!”

CHBK: “I know. And unfortunately, this is one match I’m not able to change. I’m sorry. But just get through it. And I’m hoping this will be it. Maybe it will be enough for Xander and frankly, he’ll have other things he’s worried about.”

Adonis sighs. Just then, Selena Frost bursts into the scene, forcing her way in.

Selena: “Hey! Forget him! You…screw off!”

Selena turns to Derek and the KABLAMia Tourism Board. Derek just shakes his head and walks off as Selena gets right up in Selena’s face.

Selena: “Have I jumped through enough BS yet? Or do I need to go above you again!”

CHBK: “Yeah, nice little trick. You go to Frank and get a little handicap match.”

Selena: “Better than having to deal with Dean here who doesn’t have the balls to do what is right. So…Glimmers-“

CHBK: “Selena…you got by, by the skin of your teeth. Same just there again.”

Selena: “Still undefeated!”

CHBK: “Yet you LOST at Rise to Greatness. And you can’t seem to get that through your head with the World Title. There are other people on this roster.”

Selena: “And I’ll go through them all. Just line them up starting with the Glimmers.”

CHBK: “And I’ll repeat what Dean said, what I said, because I am the matchmaker in charge here. Find a partner.”

Selena: “I don’t need one-“

CHBK: “Well it’s a tag TEAM division. And I don’t want to hear the BS when the Glimmers embarrass you as you can’t tell who from whom. But if Deanna isn’t an option for you, then I heard a great alternative. So Selena, congratulations, your new tag partner will be Xander Valentine!”

The crowd erupts as Selena just seethes.

CHBK: “And you have one more hoop to jump through. You want to face the Glimmers and I’ll even offer the World Tag Team Championship if they are still the champions. You then face the EFN at Shattered Reality. If they’re the tag champs after next week, titles are on the line. If not, you win and you are the number one contenders. And you and Xander can then fight over who gets their revenge for being slighted by the Glimmer Sisters.”

Selena just looks at CHBK.

Selena: “I don’t need him. And I don’t need to carry anyone. I’m going to contact Frank. He knows what he has in me and I’m not going to be disrespected by you either.”

Selena turns and storms off as CHBK watches her leave. CHBK turns to Dean Black.

Black: “I was just trying to manage things. I didn’t realize Frank would start to get hands on.”

CHBK: “Unfortunately, he got the taste of it with me not around and it looks like he’s got some other plans. They’re going to have an impact. Until then…CHBK reaches into his blazer pocket and then pulls out a folded up piece of paper. He hands it to Autumn Valentine.

CHBK: “Autumn, deliver this to production and have them run the graphic.”

Autumn unfolds the paper and looks at it. She then looks up at CHBK.

Autumn: “You sure?”

CHBK: “Mmm-hmmm.”

Autumn: “After last week?”

CHBK: “Just deliver it.”

Autumn heads off as CHBK watches her leave and then turns to Dean and Lucas Knight.

Knight: “What was that?”

CHBK: “Just a reminder of who they empowered. That’s all.”

CHBK heads into his office as we cut to ringside.

The cameras open up on the announce position. Adam Sharper and Devon Kayl turn to one another.

Kayl: “What was that about?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but there may be some differences of opinions in what may be booked, I guess. I don’t know. But also Selena Frost and Xander Valentine as a team. They have the EFN at Shattered Reality…”

Kayl: “Xander already has the Underground Championship too. So that’s going to be one angry Executioner to say the least!”

Sharper: “Definitely…Well last week on this program, we said goodbye to a stalwart and a hall of famer. In New Orleans, Amy Chastaine made her last stand against James Evans. But James Evans was able to defeat her.”

Kayl: “One of the greatest in SCW history. Calling it a day, win or lose.”

Sharper: “And after the cameras went off the air, Amy Chastaine shared this message. Let’s go back to last week.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We hear the crowd roaring as Amy Chastaine stirs in the ring. James Evans is no longer in the arena. We then see Jaina Lancaster reaching the ring as we see Simon Lyman walking down the rampway with Amy’s son Loki. Bree Lancaster is a few feet behind them. Jaina enters the ring and goes over to her mother. She leans over and Amy looks up as Jaina and her embrace a bit. The crowd cheers as Jaina and Amy seem to be sharing some words with one another. Bree and Simon enter the ring as Simon goes across and asks for something from Jason Phillips. Jaina then starts to help Amy up. Loki heads around the ring and looks up at Amy. He heads over to a crew member, grabbing a towel from them as Simon is handed a microphone. Loki enters the ring as Amy gets up and the crowd cheers again. Simon walks over to Amy as Loki walks over and hands Amy the towel. Amy uses it to wipe some of the blood from her face. She then looks at it and walks around a bit. “Amy!” chants break out as Simon then walks over to Amy. Amy takes the microphone from Simon. She then says something to him and Bree as Jaina backs up. Loki joins Jaina.

Amy raises the mic to speak, but the crowd erupts and she stops, looking down with her eyes closed. A smile spreads on her face as she nods, taking in the roaring and cheers. She looks back up and opens her eyes. We see Simon and Bree motioning for the crowd to hush. Raising the mic again, Amy speaks, a little out of breath.

Chastaine: “I’m sorry….”

The crowd boos. Amy raises a hand to quiet them.

Chastaine: “No, no. I am. I know this isn’t what you all wanted to see here tonight. It’s certainly not what I intended. I wanted to stop him…. You know I did.”

Everyone in the ring nods at Amy, and we see fans in the front row doing the same, with some light applause.

Chastaine: “And maybe a few years ago, hell… maybe just last year, I could have. But—"

Cutting herself off, Amy lowers the mic a moment, shaking her head no. We see her and Bree speaking, and Amy nods before looking back out at the crowd.

Chastaine: “No, I’m not gonna do that. I’m not gonna lie to you. For twenty years I’ve made my life an open book to you, shared my emotions, exposed my demons, bared my soul…. I’m not gonna go out holding anything back. The truth is… after that?”

Amy points to what’s left of the announce table James Evans crashed her through.

Chastaine: “I could have fought back. When he picked me up and shoved me back into this ring, I could have dug deep, drew out just a little bit more, gone to the deepest part of that dark place and forced myself to kick out at the last second. But somewhere between that pile of table shards and being rolled to the middle of this ring, I decided… I don’t want to.”

The crowd murmurs, a few boo while a few more applaud.

Chastaine: “I know how that sounds, and it’s not because I wanted to disappoint anyone, or fail y’all… but the opposite. The exact opposite. It’s taken me a long time to realize, or I guess finally accept… that I haven’t and couldn’t do either. I built my career on the principle of fighting back. Of not backing down, not staying down. Being brave. Well… sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is accept when it’s time to stop fighting. Not because you’ve given up, but because you don’t have to anymore.”

“I don’t have to keep fighting. I don’t have to save anyone, or SCW from anyone. This place will be in fantastic hands, I know it. I’ve seen this roster. I’ve fought most of them. Most importantly though… and I know my family here, and friends – you guys are all my friends, right?”

Amy points around the arena, turning in place, as the crowd cheers and applauds their agreement.

Chastaine: “I know all of you would agree… I don’t have to prove myself. Not to you, not to anyone. So…. With that acceptance in mind, in the few seconds between there and here…. I decided to just stay down. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say I let Evans beat me, because I know damn well that even if I had tried, he could have held me down. Even if I had kicked out, he could have easily just threw me through something else and pinned me anyway. That man just has this… rage, this burning drive to keep destroying anything and anyone in his way. James Evans still has the desire to keep proving himself. To you, to that roster, to himself… I don’t know.”

“What I do know, is that the last twenty years is a testament to my resilience, my strength, my bravery… and the last three seconds before that bell rang doesn’t take any of that away!”

The crowd erupts into applause, along with Simon, Bree, Jaina, and Loki in the ring. Amy looks out at the crowd, up and all around, turning in place again, eyes and face damp with tears she doesn’t bother to wipe away. The applause replaces the cheers as the crowd rise to their feet in one collective movement. After a few moments Amy raises the mic and the crowd quiets.

Chastaine: “I wanted to end this on my terms, in my backyard, with my family and friends – and my husband right behind the curtain, he refused to come out here. That’s exactly what I’ve done and I thank each and every one of you for being… being a part of it with me.”

Amy’s voice breaks at the end and she lowers the mic and lets it drop as Simon who is standing closest wraps her in a hug. The crowd breaks into thunderous applause again, quickly followed by the chant:

“Thank you Amy! Thank you Amy! Thank you Amy!”

Amy is then hugged by Jaina, Loki, and finally Bree as the crowd continues. Amy looks around at the crowd again and we see her saying ‘thank you’ even if we can’t hear her. The assembled family starts to leave, but Amy stops. She holds up a finger, one more thing. She kneels down and pulls at her boot laces… but Loki steps up and stops her, then points to himself. Amy nods, and Loki kneels down and finishes loosening the laces on both boots. Amy smiles at her son before pulling one foot then the other out, while still standing. Amy then backs away from the well-worn boots, as everyone steps back. The crowd applauds again, another “Thank you Amy!” chant starting. The group exits the ring one by one, Amy the last one. They go up the ramp, Amy following last, and she does not look back before going through the curtain. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We then cut to a live shot inside the Ball Arena in Denver as a “Amy!” chant breaks out. Cameras pan across the crowd as fans all over join in the chants. The chants continue for several moments before we cut away.

Backstage, we see Autumn Valentine sneaking around backstage before then turning and going down one hallway. We then see her walking over to Ravyn Taylor. Ravyn looks up. Autumn heads over to her.

Ravyn: “Anything?”

Autumn: “No meetings of that nature this week, but I figured you should know about this before it becomes official.”

Autumn shows Ravyn the folded up pieces of paper. Ravyn looks at it and then nods.

Autumn: “Is he mad?”

Ravyn: “No, you know that. This just backs up I think what you told me. Okay, text me later. We’ll need to move faster. Alex is trying to force someone’s hand.”

Autumn: “Okay…’

Ravyn: “And deliver this fast.”

Autumn takes the paper back and turns and heads off as the scene cuts away.

Destiny Page stands with Amelia Nevado in the interview area. La Pequena Luz stands with her.

Page: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Destiny Page here with Amelia Nevado. La Pequena Luz is also joining us, but Amelia, you’ve asked for this time. I understand you want to make a challenge.”

Amelia: “I do. And I’m standing here because the last couple of months, I’ve pushed myself, but fallen short. To Cid, to Syren….but there’s one comment that was made.”

Page: “That you’re too nice?”

Amelia: “No…although I understand it…but it was Glory Braddock saying that she could succeed where I failed. Glory and I have been intertwined for years. Both of us are products of the British school of wrestling. We have great pride. But after Glory’s comments last week where she wanted to fight back to get another shot at the World Title…well, I’ve had those same thoughts and I figure, why not put what she said to the test. We both want to aim back for that lofty goal of challenging for the World Title. We’ve both fallen short. And Glory, we’ve had some classics, but never with these stakes. So, Glory…Shattered Reality. Let’s see who is ready to get back on the horse first. And better yet…you know you’ll get a fair fight!”

Page: “Challenging Glory Braddock.”

Amelia: “Exactly. Plus…she’s always been one of my measuring sticks. And if I can’t beat her, I know I have much more work to do. So…Glory…your call to respond…”

Page: “Well, Glory, it’s now onto you. Back to ringside.”

Just Some Loser vs. Colleen MacDonald

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot, followed by a few girls giggling.  But before “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched can even begin, Colleen steps out onto the stage from the backstage area, wearing her normal all-black ring gear.  Colleen does a cutthroat signal.  The music turns off as she stands still and waits until the beginning of “How Far I’ll Go” by Auli’i Cravalho begins to play.  Colleen nods once before beginning to slowly head down the entrance ramp.  

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Orderville, Utah, she is Colleen MacDonald!”

The crowd does keep their eyes on her as she looks straight down at the ring.  She keeps going until she arrives down at the ring.  Not quickening her pace, she steps up the steel ring steps and climbs over the top rope to get into the ring.  Once inside she does look around the arena.  She simply approves of her surroundings before she turns to the business at hand, warming up before the bell rings.

Sharper: “Colleen MacDonald about to face Just Some Loser-“

Kayl: “Seriously, he needs to go to marketing.”

Sharper: “Colleen stepping up for Polly Pingotti. Pingotti retained the TV title last week, but thanks to Just Some Loser attacking Deanna Frost.”

Kayl: “Yeah, what’s up there?”

“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: “Coming in from somewhere in Minnesota… 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: “Just Some Loser does have two wins to his credit.”

Kayl: “Again – go to marketing. Either that or maybe he’s too dumb to know what loser means!”

The bell sounds and Colleen runs around the ring and nails Loser with a hard right. Loser falls back into the corner and Colleen nails him again and again and again. The crowd roars as Loser falls to a knee. Colleen continues to hammer away on Loser.

She steps back and walks around the ring before turning and running at him and hitting a running backsplash. Loser falls to the mat and rolls to the apron. He starts to get up and Colleen sees this before running across the ring, bouncing off the ropes and hitting a running hip check, knocking Loser off the apron to the floor. (1)

Sharper: “And Colleen coming in like a bat out of hell.”

Kayl: “Mess with one of the group and get all of the group!”

Colleen grabs the ropes and exits the ring. (1) Loser gets up and Colleen nails him with a hard right and runs him over to the barricade. She drives him into it. (2) She then nails him with a hard right and then another. (3) Loser reaches up and rakes her eyes. Colleen staggers off. (4) Loser turns and rolls into the ring. Colleen looks around. (5) She then looks in the ring and enters the ring, but Loser drives the point of his elbow into the back of Colleen’s head. He gets up and does it again. Colleen rolls to her back. Loser moves forward, placing his shin across the throat of Colleen and pressing down.

Loser steps off and walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Just taking a few shortcuts and Colleen MacDonald now on the defensive.”

Kayl: “Just trying to choke her. Leaning down on his throat.”

Sharper: “He’s had no problem bending the rules in his early matches.”

Loser turns to Colleen as she starts to get up and kicks her in the stomach. Colleen backs into the corner. Loser kicks her again. He whips her across the ring and runs after and clotheslines her in the chest. Colleen staggers forward and Loser grabs her and then hoists her up and hits a back suplex. He goes for the lateral press.

Colleen kicks out. Loser gets up. Colleen rolls over and Loser grabs her by the head and hair and pulls her up, but Colleen turns and elbows him in the ribs. She elbows him again and then grabs his head and hits a jawbreaker. Loser staggers around and turns back to Colleen who gets up and clotheslines him down. She then turns into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running senton backsplash.

Sharper: “And Colleen using her body as a weapon. Down across the stomach and ribs.”

Kayl: “You can see her getting more and more confident every time she’s out there. She knows exactly the damage she can do.”

Sharper “And will it be enough? Cover!”

Colleen hooks the leg.

Loser kicks out. Colleen turns and gets up and stomps Loser in the face. He rolls over and she stomps him again. She then grabs him and pulls him up and snapmares him down. She runs into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a running hip check. She then turns and goes for the pin.

Loser kicks out again. He turns and starts to get up and Colleen gets up and nails him with a hard right hand. She then kicks him in the ribs and runs into the ropes. She bounces off, but Loser hoists her up and drops her throat first on the top rope. Colleen falls back, holding her throat in pain. Loser rolls over and looks around.

Sharper: “And again, using the ring this time. Throat first to the top rope. Stopping Colleen’s momentum!”

Kayl: “And her ability to breathe easily.”

Loser turns and Colleen stirs, holding her throw and he dives onto her, clubbing her in the back of the head. He gets up and clubs her down again. He then drags her up and bends her over before gutwrenching her up and powerbombing her down. He then folds her over.

Colleen kicks out. Colleen rolls over and starts to get up and Loser runs at her and nails her with a running elbow strike. Colleen falls to the corner. She grabs at the ropes to get up and Loser grabs her and wrenches her arm before kicking her in the face. Colleen responds by just smacking him. The crowd ohs. She then tackles him down. She then hammers away on him with a couple of hard rights to the head before Loser manages to push her off. Colleen rolls over and starts to get up and turns to Loser and Loser grabs her by the tights and pulls her through the ropes, causing her to drop to the floor. Loser then gets up and steps out onto the apron when suddenly the lights over the ring go out.

Sharper: “Just Some Loser sends Colleen to the floor.”

Kayl: “She just snapped and…hey…”

Sharper: “Some of the lights going out and-“

Then the lights over the lower bowl go out before we then see more lights going out and the emergency lights go on. The crowd buzzes.

Kayl: “What the hell is going on and-“

Just then, we abruptly cut away. Sound and darkness cutting out. A few moments pass of dead air before commercials start to play.

Breakdown returns as we see fans looking around as lights are back on.

Sharper: “Are we back?”

Kayl: “What the hell happened?”

We cut back to the ring as we see Just Some Loser standing in the ring, looking around. Colleen MacDonald is now up the rampway.

Sharper: “We’re being told that someone shut off the power to the lights and even some of our communications. Fortunately, the emergency lighting went on.”

Kayl: “What idiot would do that? That’s a huge safety issue. All of these people…”

Sharper: “Well Just Some Loser in the ring still. Colleen MacDonald started to leave as we still don’t know what is happening.”

Kayl: “Isn’t the match still going? I’ve not heard a bell.”

The crowd roars as Just Some Loser looks around before we see Polly Pingotti running through the crowd. She then hops the barricade and slides into the ring. She then gets up, brandishing her TV Title before running at Just Some Loser and drills him in the back of the head with the TV Title. The crowd ohs and many cheer. Loser rolls over, holding his head in pain. We then hear a bell as the official calls for it. Colleen turns to the ring as Polly looks around and then turns to the official. Colleen heads towards the ring as Polly then turns and stomps away on Loser for good measure. The official pushes her back.

Sharper: “Polly getting a few more shot in.”

Kayl: “Colleen heading to the ring. Not perfect, but got the message across!”

Polly looks at Loser as Colleen reaches the ring. Breakdown then cuts backstage.

Backstage, we see Dean Black heading over to CHBK.

CHBK: “Find out what happened?”

Black: “Someone was in the power room. They turned off the power. Some prank.”

CHBK: “Wonderful…any idea who?”

Black: “There are a couple of cameras in the area. We’ll find out who shouldn’t have been there.”

CHBK: “It’s a safety issue. When you find out, find me. We’ll have to deal with it.”

Autumn then appears on the screen.

Autumn: “We’re all back. Production truck is good. Nothing damaged there.”

CHBK: “Generator could’ve kicked on faster. Did you deliver the note?”

Autumn: “Yeah, no worries there.”

Lexy Chapel then comes into the scene.

Chapel: “Okay, okay…dad…I know we don’t always get along and-“

CHBK: “Not now Lexy.”

Chapel: “But I need a reference. I’m going to be extradicted. And you’re like the most powerful person here. So-“

CHBK: “Lexy…references are supposed to be arm’s length. But…I don’t have time for whatever prank Ravyn is pulling on you-“

Chapel: “Prank?! PRANK! My life is on the line. I committed an international incident! Derek won’t talk to me. I don’t want to be in KABLAMia’s prisons, presumably chained to the wall wearing leather!”

Autumn: “They only do things like consent, but-“

Chapel: “SO THEN IT WOULD BE WORSE!”

CHBK: “Lexy…not now.”

CHBK walks off as Lexy looks around, spinning around.

Chapel: “But…but….BUT! I’m not going to be a good sex slave!”

Chapel keeps looking around before we cut to show Destiny Page on her phone. She can be seen tapping on it before then holding the phone up and then taking a selfie. She starts to continue with whatever she was doing before a familiar voice is heard.

Grant: “You know you don’t need to do that. You can strive for better.”

Page looks back as Dexter Grant steps forward, holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship.

Page: “Just part of my job. To promote SCW.”

Grant: “Of course it is. Have to make everyone just sheep on these social media platforms. You probably also take some sexy photos and get men fawning over you, showing that they don’t have any respect for you.”

Page: “The attention can be flattering, but I assure you, I don’t need to be disconnected or…”

Grant: “I’m sure there are even some unflattering memes out there. And lord knows I’m sure some involved the collective intelligence of Hollywood which is in the single digits.”

Page: “They mean well.”

Grant: “I’ve seen the embarrassment on your face.”

Grant pauses as Page just looks down.

Grant: “I’m just here because someone I care for believes you are different. They like you. And I normally wouldn’t involve myself like this, but sometimes people need to be direct. Something else social media has killed.”

Page: “Wendell….”

Grant: “He’s still embarrassment from that meme…he really is sorry.”

Page: “As he’s told me.”

Grant: “Just give him a chance.”

Grant nods and walks off as Page looks at him, thinking, as the scene cuts away.

Xander Valentine vs. Derek Adonis

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

The sound of a xylophone scale is heard, signifying the start of the KABLAMian Tabernacle Choir's jingle, "Come In KABLAMia"...

Derek Adonis rolls out atop the ramp on a cloud, alongside a number of the citizens of KABLAMia: Sweet Sangria, Mimi Mimosa, Het Meisje, and Anastasia Fantasia among them. The crowd rise to their feet in a raucous applause at the display of flesh in front of them...

Welcome to the land that loves below the belt
The sky’s are clear and pleasure is felt
Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

Adonis partially rises to his knees, waving out to the crowd as chants of "KABLAM" ring out throughout the arena. The cloud continues to roll it's way down the ramp.

Where fun-loving people can give right in
To a Man Mountain utopia where everyone wins
Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

Sweet Sangria always dressed in smile
Many men and women will go the extra mile
Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

The women on the cloud toss out small, travel-sized bottles of Derek Adonis Heavy KABLAM Lubricant and folded up travel brochures to the crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by the KABLAMia Tourism Board, from KABLAMia, he is Man Mountain, he is Derek Adonis!”

The lube flows freely, never enough
It’s a copyrighted formula, the right stuff
But even still they make you feel right at home
Whether you love cleaning the carpet or polishing chrome

The cloud makes it to the bottom of the ramp and Adonis hops off first, reaching up to help the four primary women off. They step down, each planting a kiss on the cheek of Man-Mountain before heading up the stairs. Adonis follows up last and pulls himself through the ropes, lifting them for the four women to enter the ring as well.

We don’t kink-shame here, it never allowed
It’s a comfortable place while you’re being plowed
Your greatest dreams are always on tap
Your can register now with our convenient app

Adonis moves around to the four corners, climbing onto the bottom rope to throw out travel brochures as far as he can.

That’s right, KABLAM is expanding…
It’s the dream of Derek Adonis
Come in KABLAMia, sunny KABLAMia
We mean YOU!

After finishing (heh), Adonis moves to the middle of the ring, posing with the four women around him. As the song ends, he bellows out with it...

Adonis: "KABLAAAAAAAAAAAAM!"

Sharper: “Adonis trying to sell what he can. We found out this match was signed and not by CHBK, but instead, was suggested by the Board.”

Kayl: “They’re getting a bit more involved.”

Sharper: “Maybe trying to mollify Xander Valentine. Trying to help CHBK control this man.”

A long church bell rings, once- twice- a third time as the crowd explodes. The lights go out as Xander’s voice echoes out over the sound system, increasing the intensity of the crowd’s roar.

“Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

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

“Some are born to kill

Others are born to run

Some need to keep on takin'

Till you ain't got none”

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

“But baby, I wasn't built to die

Lay down and be crucified

Nah, no matter how hard they try

To push me down

Still I rise”

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

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

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

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

Suffocate me until I am blue

To preserve my bad worldview

Paranoid, All Eyes On Me

Rumours circle, vultures feed

Baby, I wasn't built to die

Lay down and be crucified

Nah, no matter how hard they try

To push me down

Still I rise

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

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

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

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

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

Kayl: “Derek, I’d have gone to KABLAMia.”

Sharper: “He may be thinking about that. You can see him just looking across the ring at Xander Valentine.”

Kayl: “The good news is that you’ll probably not have to worry too much. The thinner air here in Denver may work against you and you just have to worry about the pain when you awake!”

Derek Adonis looks at Xander, holding his hand up, and starts to plead with the Executioner. Xander just glares at him, watching him. Adonis then drops down to his knees and then holds his hands out. He keeps pleading with Xander. The official, Steve Hollinsworth, turns to Derek and asks if he’s ready. He gets up and shakes his head no. He keeps doing so before Xander shakes his head. Xander then starts to step forward before we see Gina and Gia Glimmer running out from the back. They run down to the ring and slide into the ring. Xander turns and goes for a boot on Gia, but Gia slides under. Gina then runs into the ropes and jumps up with a hip check. Xander staggers before Gia gets up and hits a straight kick to the stomach.

Sharper: “Derek Adonis not ready. Trying to avoid his funeral, but the Glimmer Sisters are here! And they’re fighting for Derek?!”

Kayl: “I mean this is a partnership made in heaven and KABLAMia!”

Sharper: “The match hasn’t started yet. Xander trying to deal with both.”

Gina then hits a superkick. Xander staggers and hits the ropes. Gia then runs over and jumps up and dropkicks him. He falls back and ends up tangled in the ropes. Adonis looks on stunned as Gia then exits to the apron. Hollinsworth tries to get them out of the ring. Gia then jumps up and wraps her body around the arms of Xander, keeping him hooked. We then see Gina lunge and hit a superkick. Xander’s head pops back. Gina then spins around and looks around before shaking her ass a bit. She runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running hip check to the face. Gia lets go and Xander falls to a knee. He then rolls over and Adonis looks on stunned. Gina then turns and walks over to Adonis as Gia pulls herself up on the apron.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine is downed here. The Glimmer Sisters just aggressively attacking the Executioner.”

Kayl: “And now trying to will Adonis to finish it off.”

Gina leans over to Adonis and presses her breast towards his head. He looks up as Gia steps on the bottom rope and leans over, to make sure her cleavage are at eye level.

Gina: “You scratch our back…we scratch yours. So…Now scratch our back in return.”

Gia: “And we can have a very enjoyable and lucrative relationship!”

Gina pulls away as Hollinsworth yells at them to leave. Gia drops to the floor. Gina exits too. Adonis watches them before Gina stops and points to the ring. Adonis looks at Xander as Xander starts to get up, holding his jaw.

Sharper: “Gina, I think, is telling Adonis to get on Xander!”

Kayl: “They’ve certainly gotten some good shots in. He’s dazed and Adonis could take advantage.”

Sharper: “Except there’s a part of him not sure!”

Adonis looks at Xander before turning back to the Glimmers. Gia, we think, rolls her eyes, before pointing to Xander. Adonis then turns to Xander. He steps up and sighs.

Adonis: “Sorry, but I don’t want to die!”

Adonis then runs into the ropes and bounces off and hits a running crossbody. Adonis then nails Xander with a couple of hard blows. Hollinsworth calls for the bell to start the match. The bell sounds as Adonis hammers away on Xander. Xander shoves him off. Adonis rolls over and starts to get up and Xander turns and Adonis runs over and nails Xander with a hard right and then another and another before then running across the ring. He bounces off and hits another running crossbody. He rolls through as Xander grimaces. Xander turns as Adonis turns and stomps away on Xander, trying to keep him down.

Sharper: “Adonis, unleashing, in a flurry, clearly out of self-defense!”

Kayl: “Just not stopping. But be careful, the thin air, Derek!”

Sharper: “Xander still down after the Glimmer attack and now Derek’s onslaught!”

Kayl: “He didn’t want to die! But if Xander gets up, it may happen!”

Adonis keeps stomping on Xander as Xander rolls over. Adonis gets him in the back of the head with a couple of blows before Xander rolls over and moves to the corner. In the process, he’s able to get his feet under him. Adonis heads over and nails Xander with a hard right as Xander turns to the corner. Adonis strikes him again, but Xander fires back with a haymaker and Adonis goes down. The crowd roars. Adonis then gets up as we see Gia and Gina standing on the stage. They shake their head and head to the back. Xander nails Adonis with another haymaker, taking him down. Adonis rolls over and Xander grabs him. Adonis looks up, saying sorry repeatedly before Xander whips him into the ropes and then catches him with a big boot on the rebound. Xander hits the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a running elbow drop. He then goes for the pin.

Xander pulls Adonis up. Adonis shakes his head.

Adonis: “My shoulder was down! It was down!”

Xander then drags him up and then scoops him up and hits a sidewalk slam.

Sharper: “Adonis trying to say he didn’t kick out. He was happy to take the fall there.”

Kayl: “Xander wasn’t done. He may now just be more unhappy. More pissed off. The Glimmers, who he hates, helping Adonis, who he hates, dating back to the Trios Tournament!”

Xander rolls over. He then starts to get up as Adonis remains down. Xander steps up and hits an elbow drop. He then goes for another pin.

Xander pulls Adonis up again. The crowd boos Xander a bit as he looks around. Xander then grabs Adonis and pulls him up. He then drags him up and whips him into the ropes. Adonis however stops at the ropes. Xander steps up and Adonis runs at him and nails Xander with a hard right and then another. Xander staggers back. He turns to the crowd only to turn and then go for a boot to the face, but Adonis collapses and Xander almost blasts Steve Hollinsworth in the face. Hollinsworth backs up as Xander looks at him. The crowd then boos as we see Dakon Theron and Ludvig Eriksson running on the floor, alongside the rampway. They run to the ring and slide in. Ludvig nails Adonis as Dakon nails Xander. Hollinsworth calls for the bell, throwing the match out. Eriksson grabs Adonis and throws him out of the ring as Xander nails Dakon with a couple of strikes back before Ludvig runs over and nails Xander with a running European uppercut. Xander staggers back.

Sharper: “The EFN out here. And they’re going after Xander Valentine!”

Kayl: “And the Glimmers are still on the stage! They’re seeing all of this. Adonis thrown out of the ring.”

Sharper: “This match thrown out!”

Theron and Eriksson hammer away on Xander as the bell sounds again. Theron then drags Xander out and the two whip him into the ropes. Xander bounces off and Theron hoists him up as Eriksson hits the ropes and they hit the European United Drop on Xander. Xander rolls over, holding his head and neck.

Sharper: “European United Drop on Valentine!”

Kayl: “And the Glimmers watching it all!”

Adonis starts to make his way to the back, helped by the Tourism Board. The Glimmers look at the ring as Theron and Eriksson get up and look at the Glimmers. They smirk as Gina and Gia turn now to Adonis. They wait for him before joining the Tourism Board in heading to the back.

The Shattered Reality logo comes up on the screen as we see a still for Syren and then a still for Kimberly Williams before showing both.

Sharper: “Folks, we found out what was on that piece of paper. Syren will face Kimberly Williams at Shattered Reality. We don’t yet have the night determined, but here’s the wrinkle – the winner is the number one contender to the SCW World Championship.”

Kayl: “This is why this was so controversial. Kim wants the Underground Title, but also she was harassing Frank Delatosso last week!”

Sharper: “And Kim and Syren have no love lost. Kim could be one step away from a Supreme Championship and she just has to beat someone she hates more than anything, while Syren, she’s may not hold gold in 2025, but could start 2026 in a plum position to get back where she wants to be. Huge match signed for the final nights for SCW in 2025!”

The Shattered Reality logo comes across the screen.

The lights around the arena begin to flicker in red, white, and blue as "Fortunate Son" by CCR starts to play over the arena. "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp, flanked by his All-Star Secret Service of Jack and Karl Barker. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays.

Sharper: “Last week, Gavin Taylor dodged a bullet from Dante Slayton. He managed to get out of dodge. But he continues to drive everyone nuts.”

Kayl: “But he’s in the US Title circle. Even Meghan Strader is forced to recognize him. Even said she’d be willing to face him!”

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no furtunate one, no

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger, shaking hands of the men, kissing the hands of the women, and even patting a few kids on the head. He smirks as he gets to the ring, pulling himself to the apron. He hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope.

The song continues...

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah

Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He holds his arm up.

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes as he then walks around the ring. Karl Barker takes a microphone from Jason Phillips. He then walks up the steel steps and into the ring. Jack joins him and Gavin as Karl hands Gavin the microphone. Gavin looks around.

Gavin: “What a beautiful entrance. The best entrance…by the best team, the best security…people who watch my back, keep me safe, and keep the contract of mine for the US Championship of the World. But now it’s even more important, my fellow Gavinites. Because while Trios tournament didn’t go as planned…the Trios team lives on forever!”

Gavin looks around.

Gavin: “While we saw the steal in motion that stopped me from getting the contract that I wanted, the backup plan, in case those even Scum Shinigamis came out of hiding to stop me from making American Gavin again…the team came together. The best team. The biggest team. The baddest team. See, we watch each other’s back. And I made sure that Meghan Strader got what she’s wanted more than anything. She wanted to be champion. She is one. That’s the power of Gavin right there. That’s why you want me on your side. You want me to tell people to cheer for you. We have something special here…and I share it as I see fit. And Magnificent Meghan became a champion against Loser Luz….and as she said a couple of weeks ago, she’d be happy to face me. And I accept your challenge, Magnificent Meghan. Magnanimous Megan….”

Karl scratches his head as Gavin looks at him.

Gavin: “Macho Man Meghan!”

Karl gives a thumbs up.

Gavin: “Ooooh, yeah!”

Sharper: “This man…”

Kayl: “Accepting the challenge. What challenge. That’s up to SCW.”

Gavin: “And so Meghan, I look forward to us making everything right, Making America Gavin Again, as I become the US Champion of the World at Shattered Reality. And it’s a movement that’s gaining. People from all over the world are trying to show they want Gavin again, they want part of it, including the best of our global friends, in the European Fiery Nation. Fiery like Gavin here. Glowing like Gavin. I really like their coffee. And the people of Turkey have always been a good friend of the Gavinites. People like Kemal, who understands that the best way to get ahead is to side with a winner. And I am a winner. That’s for sure.”

Sharper: “Explciitly using him to get to this point.”

Kayl: “I don’t know if he cares.”

Gavin walks around.

Gavin: “And so Kemal, I want you to think hard. To help me out. To make sure that the Shinigami Foundation, the type of people who are evil, are wicked, don’t want to earn anything, but complain and complain. Just like we had to stand for law and order, and send a message through Crooked Chris Dumont, one of the Scummy Shinigami…”

Sharper: “He’s not even a member. He and David were not getting along.”

Kayl: “You’re asking him to pay attention…or be accurate. He’s just trying to keep himself in the news!”

Gavin: “But while we hope he recovers and learns from his mistakes, we know that Laying Dave and Rancid Reno, won’t get it. Just like Loser Luz should understand her time at the top is over. Macho Man Meghan, and Glowing Gavin, your great leader….and maybe Keen Kemal, and we make Gavin America Again! We’ll stop the steal, we’ll make things right, and we’ll punish those who stand in our way!”

Gavin holds his hand up. The crowd gives a very mixed reaction. Gavin looks around. Just as Gavin raises the mic up to speak once again, it seemingly stops working as he taps it and then hits it with a look of growing frustration on his face when suddenly the booming voice of Till Lindemann begins to echo throughout the arena at which point the crowds come roaring to their feet. We see David Striker, Alex Belmont, Dante Slayton, and Wil Pierce walk out from the back. Joining them are Irvine and Eric Gibson, each dressed to wrestle. Gavin looks around as Jack and Karl Barker look to one another.

Gavin: “Macho Man Meghan! Meghan! Keen Kemal?!”

Sharper: “The Shinigami Foundation have heard enough and they’re not out here to talk. They’re out here to fight.”

As Rammstein's “Ich Will” booms throughout the arena and before Gavin can fully understand what is happening, Gavin is caught flat footed by a “Nightrider” dropkick by none other than Reno Dumont which sends Gavin flying out of the ring. Karl and Jack scramble and exit the ring and go over to check on Gavin. Gavin rolls over, dazed as Reno Dumont slowly gets up in the ring.

Sharper: “Reno Dumont from behind! And he’s in his gear! I thought he was here as a manager. The man hasn’t been active in half a decade!”

Kayl: “Well we heard he was weighing his options and I guess Raging Reno, and he’s raging, has picked his option!”

Gavin staggers up, looking around, holding his lip, which is bleeding. Karl and Jack stand around him, spinning around, trying to protect him as the Shinigami Foundation heads to the ring. Reno Dumont stands in the middle of the ring, pacing back and forth. He then sees the microphone Gavin had and grabs it. He looks at it before bringing it to his mouth, pointing at Gavin.

Reno: “You will stand there and keep that trap of yours shut or I will do more than end you right here tonight in Denver, Gavin!”

The crowd looks. 

Reno: “Now you obviously don't know with whom you are screwing with, so allow me to illuminate you to just how big a fucking mistake that you made two weeks ago here on Breakdown…Week in and Week out, everybody in this industry sees the Reno Dumont who has come out here in SCW and elsewhere, leading his troops into times both good and bad, to epic championship reigns and tremendous losses, and I do that because I had to step away from being an active wrestler, Gavin, and I'm telling you this so that you understand fully grasp what's going to happen next.”

Reno walks over to the ropes as Gavin is moved away to the corner, keeping him away from the Shinigami Foundation who have now cut off the rampway as an avenue for escape.

Reno: “Now you know that in this industry, all of the boys and girls that become professional wrestlers understand that there is a certain “code” that we all must follow and part of that code is that you don't go into business for yourself and try to rob somebody of their lively hood by breaking their necks…well, last week in Boise you tried to do just that, you little [bleep], you…in the height of your arrogance, attempted to break my son's neck and while I understand if that were to happen by accident, like what happened to me over in Wrestleworld almost a decade back, that…that I could understand because in this industry you buy your ticket and you take your chances.”

Reno then stops pacing and walks dead center of the ring ropes that faces Gavin and the camera gives us an epic shot of Reno glaring down at Gavin with the view being from over Gavin's right shoulder as the rest of his All-Star Security work to keep him protected as the camera slowly shows us the unrepentant face of Gavin, who is even smugly smiling slightly.

Reno: “Two weeks ago, you came out here and you cut a little speech about my son and I coming from a “terrible family”...the “worst family”…”

Reno then slowly points at Gavin and when he speaks, he is totally and completely calm, but his voice is extremely cold.

Reno: “That is true, he does come from a terrible family…because he is a Dumont and Gavin, if you knew exactly with whom you have screwed with then you'd start shitting your pants right now because I am Reno Dumont. I have held actual World Titles all over the world. I have been wrestling since the early days of 1999 which means that I have been busting my ass across this industry longer than you have been crawling around, trying to make everyone think that you're great…So, when you say my name, you'd best put some [bleep]ing respect on it….but I know that you won't because my entire career, I have dealt with assholes like you and I know the best way to deal with people like you.”

Reno pauses. Gavin turns to his team.

Gavin: “He’s trampling on my right to free speech. Raging Reno-“

Reno snaps at him, causing Gavin to stop.

Reno: “You see among the great many things that I am, I also can see into the future and right now I can very clearly see yours, Gavin, and what I see about your future is this…I see you laying on the ground broken and bleeding in ways that would a make every masochist in the world cry out in glory at the sight of what will be done to you.”

Reno pauses.

Reno: “It’s even a place where they won’t care about Making America Gavin Again…I like January 8…Saitama, Japan. A place where the Dumont family has made their names…and so many others, time and time again! On that night, at Fatal Fortunes Night One, I'm breaking a promise to my wife and my younger son by coming out of retirement to BREAK YOU!!”

The crowd roars. Reno just looks down at Gavin.

Reno: “Why that long…so you have enough time for you to go and put your affairs in order, Gavin. Tick tock!”

Reno drops the microphone. He then turns to the Shinigami Foundation as we see Striker, Belmont, Pierce, and Slayton start to advance on Gavin. Gavin is whisked away by Karl and Jack over the barricade. They then climb over and push Gavin down one of the aisleways as Reno Dumont just glares at him. The Shinigami Foundation stops at the barricade, almost envisioning that exactly exit strategy.

COMMERCIALS

We return as we see Gavin Taylor now outside of the building with Jack and Karl Barker having whisked him right out of the building.

Gavin: “Karl, Jack…wait…wait…”

Jack: “We need to get you to safety.”

Karl: “All-Star Secret Service, remember?”

Gavin: “I think we’re good. They’re the type of people who couldn’t have the fortitude to stand out here in the cold Denver air without a coat. We’re the epitome of masculinity and fortitude. And…”

Karl: “Still, don’t want you to catch a cold.”

Jack: “We’d need to get Religious Wright to bless you regularly and he’s still not at full speed after last year.”

Gavin: “Relax…Raging Reno made a goof. He says he’ll fight me. He’s challenged me to a match at Fatal Fortunes.”

Jack: “All the more reason to protect you-“

Gavin: “No…that’s a night where everything is random. If he was to face me, I’d have PROOF the steal was in effect. The steal would have taken place and I could take Raging Reno, Laying Dave, Crooked CHBK, all of them down. We need to get to work.”

Gavin walks off.

Jack: “But what about Magnificent Meghan?”

Gavin: “It’s in her hands!”

Jack and Karl run after Gavin as Gavin, suddenly with renewed gusto, heads off.

We return live in the arena and cut to the announce position. Adam Sharper and Devon Kayl greet us.

Sharper: “Welcome back to ringside. Gavin Taylor went from fearing for his life, to now back in his delusions.”

Kayl: “When Reno Dumont gets his hands on him, oh boy, is he going to wake up.”

Sharper: “But it’s been a big night. A lot happening. We’ll hear from Meghan Strader, no doubt, next week. We also expect to hear from Shaun Cruze, from Clyde Sutter, Glory Braddock, and more. But we know one person we’re hearing from tonight…James Evans.”

Kayl: “And James let us know what this match he’s having with Cid Turner will be.”

Sharper: “Take a look.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We open up in a darkened room. We then see James Evans walking into the view. A smirk forms on his face.

“Cid…you’re going to have to finally face reality.”

James then scoffs. We then seen the image of James’s face, showing a range of emotions, from arrogance, to rage, to anger, to disgust, to neutrality. The neutral face continues to talk.

“But that’s never been your strong suit, has it?”

We see James then start to look around as mirrors are set up all around him. We see the image of James, standing in the middle of the ring, showing him from every angle, vanish in each mirror, replacing each image with a different shot of Cid. We see Cid Turner tagging with Carnage, before showing him fighting Rockstar in the first Thunderdome match, before showing him with Sid Kipling, then as King of America, followed by King of the World, then showing him as part of A/C Unit, and finally as part of the Holly Adams Brand, each mirror showing a different image before they all disappear.

“So who is the real Cid Turner? And is that Cid Turner even still alive?”

Ther mirror’s flash to show Cid Turner in the ring at the end of the Taking Hold of the Flame. We see him looking around before showing him standing tall at the end of Rise to Greatness.

“Is it the never-say-die champion?”

James can be heard cackling in the background. James’s face turns to disgust.

James: “Please.”

We then hear James yelling “BULLSHIT!” echoing in the background. We then see a shot of Cid Turner hugging his family backstage.

James: “The family man?”

Another cackle comes. We then hear James Evans’s voice in the background.

James: “Even I’ve played that game before…”

We then cut to see Cid Turner down on the ground against Glory Braddock, showing him exhausted after facing Amelia Nevado, and then showing images of Cid Turner getting checked by the training staff and medical staff backstage.

James: “This is the real Cid Turner…held together by duct tape and drteams…”

James scoffs as we see James’s face again, showing the disgust and then rage.

James: “I’ve destroyed anyone who has now held me back. Waylon Creek…”

We see Creek getting pulled back by officials after attacking CHBK.

James: “Ryan LeCavalier…”

We see James Evans running down Ryan LeCavalier in the parking area on the November 13 Breakdown.

James: “Amy Chastaine.”

We see James Evans powerbombing Amy Chastaine off the top rope and through the announce table. We cut to show James again.

James: “I know exactly what I am, Cid. There’s no delusions I need to break of. I am your destroyer!”

The word echoes.

James: “You said someone would have to kill you to take your title…”

James smiles.

James: “Challenge accepted!”

James then extends his arms.

James: “Because I should have been crowned the undisputed standard in this sport so many times over…and I’m done waiting.”

The camera pans back and we then see the camera back through a door in a cage-link fence, revealing a roofed chain-link cage, but we see mirrors placed in each corner and leaning against the ring and the side of the cage.

James: “Because I know exactly what I am. I have no delusions to break.”

The phrase echoes.

James: “But you seem to think you can still fight on…”

We see Cid Turner down on the mat, struggling to get up, holding his back superimposed in the mirrors.

James: “I am coming to shatter your reality that you can still do this!”

We see a shot of Cid Turner holding the SCW World Championship before showing him celebrating with his family, hugging his daughter in one of the mirrors. The mirror then explodes, shattering. We then see James Evans walk into view.

James: “You’re going to have to figure out who you really are if any of the old Cid still exists. You’re going to have to look in the mirror and see who you really are…or…”

James scoffs.

James: “Die trying. And I’ll be pulling the trigger!”

We again quickly cut through James Evans’s face, showing a variety of emotions, before cutting to him showing smug satisfaction. James sadistically laughs as the scene cuts to black.

Breakdown returns live as we see Adam Sharper and Devon Kayl at the announce position.

Sharper: “James Evans delivering his message…”

Kayl: “He’s going to hurt Cid Turner, but you saw what was around him…”

Sharper: “A roofed cage, mirrors all around.”

Kayl: “He’s going to put Cid through hell. And you saw what he did to Amy Chastaine last week?”

Sharper: “I hope Cid is ready…I’ve not been this scared of what James Evans is capable of since 2016 when he tried to destroy Ace Marshall.”

Kayl throws his arms up.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as “Psycho in my Head” plays. We then see a shot of Enigma vs. Konrad Raab come up on the screen.

Sharper: “Well folks, main event time. Konrad Raab about to have his final match on Breakdown. He faces Enigma in Underground Rules, next!”

The scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Konrad Raab vs. “The Monster Machine” Enigma

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with TV time remaining and is an Underground Rules matches! First, from Cologne, Germany, accompanied by Ginny Raab, he is Burned in Blood, Konrad Raab!”

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

Sharper: “Konrad Raab only has a couple of weeks left in his SCW career, but he wanted a match against Enigma. And he’s going to get his match against Enigma.”

Kayl: “Underground rules. Not for the title though. He didn’t want that. And I’ll add that backstage, he’s supported Kimberly Williams getting her shot. So Konrad making his presence felt here in the end of his run here in SCW.”

“Scum Of The Earth” by Rob Zombie hits as The Monster Machine Enigma slowly steps out onto the stage. The SCW Underground Championship is around his waist. The crowd roars seeing the man as he looks around, scanning the arena. A few moments pass before he starts to walk down to the ring, taking his time, but his eyes firmly gazing upon the ring.

Phillips: “His opponent, he is the SCW Underground Champion, The Monster Machine Enigma!”

Enigma reaches ringside. He then walks over to the steel steps and stops before slowly walking up them. He then steps onto the ring apron and then steps into the ring. He hands off the title. He then looks across the ring before slowly starting to pace around the ring.

Sharper: “And there is your Underground Champion. We know he will face Xander Valentine for the title on Night One of Shattered Reality.”

Kayl: “And he’s had a few shots across the bow for Xander. And he got involved against earlier tonight. Blinded him last week with the Blood Moon. Enigma making sure Xander focuses on him, not the Glimmers, not anyone else.”

The bell sounds. Enigma steps up as does Raab. The crowd roars as Raab throws a hard right. Enigma fires back. The two men trade blows going back and forth in the middle of the ring as SCW official, Aaron Demitra, looks on. Enigma then starts to gain the advantage, nailing Raab with an overhead right hand and then another and another. Raab hits the ropes. Enigma whips Raab across. Raab bounces off and Enigma runs forward and clotheslines him down. Raab rolls over and starts to get up. Enigma walks after him and grabs him and pulls him up before Raab elbows him in the ribs. He turns and hits a European uppercut. Enigma staggers back. Raab then runs at Enigma and jumps up and hits a clothesline, sending both him and Enigma up and over the top rope to the floor.

Sharper: “And Raab with the clothesline. Both spill to the floor.”

Kayl: “This is just a bar room brawl to start. And we didn’t need the liquid courage!”

Enigma rolls over as Raab starts to get up. Enigma pulls himself up and Raab runs at him and tackles him down over the steel steps. Enigma goes up and over as Raab rolls down to the mats. Enigma winces and turns as Raab grabs at the barricade. He then gets up as Enigma slowly pulls himself up. He turns and Raab then runs and jumps off the steel steps and into the air, but Enigma catches him and just powerslams him down on the mats. The crowd ohs as Raab rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Right in front of us! Raab just planted by Enigma!”

Kayl: “Caught him in mid-air. And I could feel the impact at my feet!”

Enigma pulls himself up and then looks down at Raab. He stomps him in the head and then again, grabbing the ring skirt for added leverage before stomping away on Raab some more. He then steps back and looks under the ring. He pulls out a steel chair. Raab starts to get up and Enigma turns and swings the chair into Raab’s back. Raab staggers forward and rolls into the ring. Enigma slides the chair in. He then slides in as Raab starts to get up and Enigma grabs the chair and lifts it up and slams it into Raab’s back. Raab goes down and Enigma goes for the pin.

1!

2!

Raab kicks out. Raab rolls over and Enigma gets up. He then turns and grabs the chair and looks back at Raab.

Sharper: “Almost testing Raab quickly.”

Kayl: “That would have been devastating for Raab. Enigma just showing some disrespect I think.”

Sharper: “Raab will definitely take it that way.”

Kayl: “If he can deal with this chair shot!”

Raab starts to get up and Enigma slams the chair into his back again. Raab goes down. Enigma then looks at Raab before unfolding the chair and placing it down. He then grabs Raab as Raab moves to the ropes. Enigma drags him up and nails him with a hard right. He then whips him across the ring. Raab bounces off and Enigma hoists him up, but Raab spins around and lands behind him. Enigma turns around and Raab hits a European uppercut. Enigma staggers and Raab then spins around Enigma and grabs him and hits a release German suplex on Enigma, driving him through the opened chair. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Enigma thrown through the chair. Suplexed through the chair!”

Kayl: “And that gave Raab his opening. Enigma just went through steel!”

Enigma rolls over, wincing in pain. Raab rolls to the floor. He then looks under the ring and reaches underneath. He then pulls out a table. The crowd roars. He lifts it up and slides into the ring. He then reaches under the ring and grabs a second chair. He throws it into the ring. He then reaches underneath and grabs a bag. The crowd roars. Raab rolls into the ring and then gets up. Enigma starts to get up and Raab then grabs the chair. He lifts it up and turns and runs and throws it at the end of Enigma. Enigma goes down. Raab then looks around and grabs the table. He lifts it up and places it in the corner. He then turns around and grabs the mangled chair Enigma went through. He lifts it up and swings, nailing Enigma in the head with it. Enigma gets his hands up and he goes down. Raab then leans over, taking the chair, placing it against his head and face and starts to grind down. Enigma yells out as he tries to push back. Raab keeps grinding before pulling it away. Raab then exits the ring again.

Sharper: “Raab using the weapons now to keep Enigma down.”

Kayl: “Just grinding the steel chair into Enigma. Now he’s going out to get something else.”

Raab looks under the ring again and then smiles as he pulls out a cheese grater. The crowd roars. Raab rolls into the ring. Enigma starts to get up and Raab walks over to him and goes to apply it to Enigma’s forehead, but Enigma blocks it and knees him in the ribs. Raab staggers back. Enigma turns and steps up, but Raab kicks him in the ribs. He then swing the grater, catching him in the forehead. He goes down. The crowd ohs. He turns and Raab stands over him and starts to grind the grater into Enigma’s forehead. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Oh no! Grating the forehead. Trying to shred Enigma’s flesh like cabbage!”

Kayl: “This is the Underground that Raab is known for!”

Raab keeps grinding the grater into the forehead of Enigma for a few moments longer before then running it across. Enigma drops down, rolling over, kicking at the mat. He slowly looks up as blood drips down from his forehead to the mat. Raab then walks over and places the grater on the left bicep of Enigma. He starts to grind it into his arm there. The crowd roars as Raab keeps doing so before running it along. Enigma drops down, grabbing at his arm which now is cut too. Raab throws the grater away and then grabs the second steel chair. He then looks at Enigma and turns and runs at him, but Enigma gets up and drills the chair back into Raab’s face with the Equalizer. The crowd ohs as Raab rolls over. He turns and blood starts to come down his face, a cut opening up from the chair going back into his face. Enigma walks around the ring, grimacing in some pain before looking at his arm.

Sharper: “Enigma kicks the chair back into the face, into the skull, of Konrad Raab!”

Kayl: “And he’s busted too!”

Sharper: “A bloodbath developing here in Denver!”

Raab starts to get up. Enigma comes up behind him and clubs him in the head once and then again and again. He then grabs Raab by the legs. He looks around and hoists him up and then hits the Face Eraser into the mangled steel chair. The crowd ohs and some fans cheer.

Sharper: “Enigma digging deep. There’s a deep cut.”

Kayl: “You’re not just talking about Raab’s face?”

Sharper: “Not at all. A bit of an older trademark from Enigma and then the rough landing on that chair Enigma went through earlier.”

Enigma then looks around as Raab rolls to his back. Enigma goes for the lateral press.

1!

2!

Raab kicks out. Enigma then nails him with a hard right and then another and another, all while he’s on his knees next to Raab. Enigma gets up to his feet and then looks around before going over to the bag the Raab brought in. He grabs it and looks at it, untying the rope keeping it closed. He then looks in and scoffs before turning it upside down and dumping its contents, thousands of thumbtacks onto the mat. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Oh God…those damn thumbtacks!”

Kayl: “Raab brought them in. Enigma is going to use them.”

Enigma kicks them around before turning and walking over to Raab. Raab grabs at the ropes and Enigma clubs him in the back. He then clubs him again before spinning him around and blasting him with a hard right. He then drags him out and goes to hoist him up for a back suplex. Raab rakes the eyes. Enigma drops him and staggers. Raab then hits a European uppercut. Enigma falls back into the corner. Raab shakes the cobwebs loose and Enigma gets out of the corner and goes for a clothesline. Raab ducks and then spins around Enigma. He grabs him in a waistlock and then turns and hits a Burn Pin into the thumbtacks, both going into them! The crowd ohs.

1!

2!

Enigma gets his shoulder up, rolling through the tacks to the canvas. Raab rolls away.

Sharper: “Good lord! The Burn Pin into the tacks! Both in them!”

Kayl: “Raab fighting through the pain to keep the bridge on. The man is nuts!”

We cut to see thumb tacks in the top of Raab’s head as we see them in the body of Enigma. Both roll over in pain as the crowd looks on. The crowd then roars as we see Kimberly Williams running down from the back and sliding into the ring. She’s dressed to compete.

Sharper: “What in the world?!”

Knots: “Here comes Kimmy!”

Sharper: “What the hell is she doing here? And she looks ready to fight!”

Kim looks at Enigma and then walks over the tacks to Konrad. She then smiles.

Kim: “Hey! This looks like fun! Can I join? And E-man! Can we put you title on the line? What? Really? Sure?! GREAT!”

Enigma then starts to get up and staggers into the corner nearest the table and Kim runs into the ropes and bounces off, hitting a running dropkick, knocking Enigma back through the table. The crowd ohs. Enigma drops down into a heap. Raab then gets up and looks at Kim. Kim waves at him.

Kim: “Hi Oktoberfest!”

Kim then steps up and Raab goes for a clothesline. Kim ducks and Raab turns around. Kim hits a Morrigan’s Wrath and Raab falls back into the thumbtacks, back first. The crowd ohs. Kim smiles as she looks around. She then grabs the top rope and slingshots herself over the top rope to the floor. She then looks under the ring and looks around before spinning around to the next side of the ring. She looks under and grabs a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat. She holds it up, smiling.

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams has interjected herself into this match. She’s made no bones about it – she wants to challenge Enigma for the Underground Title.”

Kayl: “Well she’s just said she’s challenging him, but she’s also getting one more fight with Konrad too!”

Sharper: “And now she has a barbed wire bat!”

Kim then turns as we see Hiro Tanaka, Dillusion, Dean Black and Lucas Knight leading SCW officials to the ring. Kim rolls into the ring and she turns and runs at Raab as he rolls over to his hands and knees and jumps up, driving the bat into the back of his head. The crowd ohs as Raab goes back into the tacks, his body now covered with them. Kim turns and swings at the ropes to keep Tanaka back. Kim turns as Enigma pulls himself up and runs at him and nails him with a running blow with the barbed wire bat, driving it into his head. Enigma falls through the ropes to the floor. Kim then runs at the ropes, knocking Lucas back. She looks around, pointing the bat to all of the officials and agents who are now surrounding the ring. Kim looks around, cackling.

Kim: “I’m taking my shot, assholes!”

Kim then turns and exits to the apron. Enigma stirs and Kim dives off, ramming the bat into the head again, almost as if hitting a clothesline. Kim goes for the pin.

Enigma kicks out as Kim counts her own fall. This allows officials to run over and try to swarm Kim. Kim tries to grab the bat, but can’t and is pulled back. We then see CHBK walking down from the back. Kim notices this and smirks as they start to pull Kim around the ring, Kim allowing herself to be dragged.

Kayl: “Kim just being dragged away. Almost as if she’s being committed!”

Sharper: “Well she’d know, but she’s almost just resigned or has she.”

They get her around the ring and to the rampway before Kim suddenly springs back to lift, catching one of the officials off guard and then she steps up to get into the face of CHBK.

Kim: “I’m taking my shot-“

CHBK: “Kim! This is not the time!”

Kim: “I’m taking my shot!”

She turns and goes to re-enter the ring. She slips past as officials can’t stop her. She then runs over and hits a shining wizard on Konrad, knocking him back. She then turns and rolls to the floor and nails Enigma again. Again, she goes for her bat, but officials stop her. She then spins around, now swarmed and surrounded by officials and agents as they start to try and lead her around the ring. Angelica Jones, at this point, is now walking down the rampway. CHBK turns to her. Cameras film their interaction.

CHBK: “Can you get her to understand? She’s costing herself more!”

Angelica: “I’ll try…but you better give her what she wants at some point.”

CHBK: “Then don’t make it harder. Especially after last week!”

Angelica then comes forward and starts to shout at Kim as Kim keeps playing to the crowd, getting the crowd to cheer. We then see Syren walking down from the back. Lexy Chapel is trying to stop her. CHBK turns to her and tells Syren to keep back. Kim is forced around the ring as Angelica comes to her and leans towards her. Kim then looks up, almost with annoyance at CHBK. Angelica then pulls her back before Kim then pushes away and then we see her step forward as Syren walks down to the ring.

Syren: “Kim…seriously-“

Kim: “Like I’m going to listen to you!”

Syren: “Look-“

Syren goes to grab Kim, but Kim turns and blasts her with a forearm shot. The crowd roars as Syren then fires back. Angelica and Lexy move into the scrum as now officials run over to stop Syren and Kim from fighting as they each grab each other’s hair and hammer away.

Sharper: “Now Kim is fighting Syren!”

Kayl: “I think Syren was trying to get Kim to calm down and that’s the worst idea. She hates Syren!”

Syren and Kim keep fighting as we see Enigma pulls himself onto the apron and into the ring. His bloodied face caked with now drying blood mixed with fresh blood. He then steps up as Konrad then handsprings into the ropes next to him and jumps up and hits the Fire Storm. He rolls Enigma over.

Enigma shoots his shoulder up. The crowd ohs. Konrad looks up, still covered by tacks. The crowd then erupts again as we see the ringside area clearing with officials focusing on Syren and Kim before we see Thomas Valentine hop the barricade. He slides into the ring. The crowd cheers some more and Konrad starts to get up and turns only for Tommy Valentine to hit him with the Knee Deep. The crowd ohs. Tommy rolls out of the ring and then goes to the barricade. He hops over it, straddling it for a moment and flipping off Konrad before hopping over. We then see Kandis waiting down the aisle. Tommy walks over to join her.

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine! Knee Deep on Konrad!”

Kayl: “Enigma had to deal with Kim, but Tommy with the blow to Konrad!”

Sharper: “Both Konrad and Enigma down!”

Enigma stirs as he grabs at the ropes. He starts to use it to pull himself up, annoyed by the entire situation. Konrad rolls over, half out of it and Enigma looks around. He looks up at Kim and Syren who are now pulled apart, but still trying to get to one another, on the stage. Enigma steps up and grabs Konrad, bending him over. He then hoists him up and slams him with the Hellbound into the tacks!

Sharper: “And Enigma’s has enough. Hellbound! Into the tacks!”

Kayl: “That’s it…”

Enigma presses down on Konrad’s chest.

1!

The crowd roars as the bell sounds. “Scum of the Earth” plays as Enigma pushes up onto his knee. He then looks up and staggers a bit. His arm is raised by Demitra.

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

Enigma looks at the crowd and then down at Raab. He then stares at him for a moment before again, the crowd roars and Enigma is pulled back by the leg to the floor. Enigma ends up on his feet, but then is pulled back by Xander Valentine, who has somehow made it to ringside, and then locks in the Fade to Black. Xander just looks out into the crowd as he locks in his version of the dragon sleeper. Enigma grabs at Xander as Xander pulls back.

Sharper: “Xander striking back! Fade to Black on Enigma!”

Kayl: “These two going right at one another every chance they get!”

Xander keeps the hold on as Enigma starts to swing at the head, but fails to connect. Enigma starts to fade as the scene fades to black…
