“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.

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 Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 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 come to you from Oklahoma City on a night where we’ll find out who will go to the finals of the Trios Tournament!”

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

Sharper: “Adam Sharper here at ringside, joined by Devon Kayl and tonight, the semifinals of the Trios Tournament.”

Kayl: “Four teams down. Two more to be eliminated. Winners face off at Under Attack.”

Sharper: “That’s not all as we will see Selena Frost in action against Dante Slayton. Is she trying to push into the Tag Team division now after the Glimmer Sisters attacked her and humbled her?”

Kayl: “Don’t say that. We’ll never hear the end of it!”

Colleen MacDonald vs. Konrad Raab

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

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: “Introducing first, from Orderville, Utah… 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: “One can only imagine how frustrated this young woman is right now. She lost the Underground Title to ‘The Monster Machine’ Enigma at Rise to Greatness and failed to win it back at Apocalypse. Enigma told her to line up whoever she thinks can take the title off of him…”

Kayl: “But there’s one glaring problem with that and its name is the Trios Tournament. Enigma’s team advanced last week, and if he, Gina Glimmer and James Evans can win their semi-final match tonight, Enigma’s dance card for Under Attack will be all booked up with the Trios finals!”

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, raising 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 Xfinity 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: “Her opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Ginny Raab, from Cologne, Germany, 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 under the turnbuckles, 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. Ginny takes the blowtorch away, but as she reaches for the mace, Konrad demands that she leave it with him tonight. He takes his hoodie off as Ginny reluctantly heads backstage, leaving the mace out at ringside.

Sharper: “Speaking of frustration, Konrad failed to beat Colleen’s friend Polly for the Television Title two weeks ago and made it clear his time in this sport is dwindling and he’s ready to take matters into his own hands.”

Kayl: “Apparently, he’s got a hit list for CHBK and he wants them all rounded up in the Chamber for Under Attack!”

Sharper: “Time will tell if CHBK can actually give Konrad what he wants, but for tonight, he’s got a chance to make a very compelling argument against another former Underground Champion.”

Referee Steve Hollinsworth signals for the bell, and Raab immediately rushes Colleen! She ducks a clothesline attempt as Raab ends up in the corner, and she quickly turns and starts bombarding him with right hands. Hollinsworth warns her to get Raab out of the corner, but just as he starts to count, Raab catches Colleen with a european uppercut! She staggers back as he hits a second one, followed by a third. He grabs her head and starts hooking her for a suplex, but Colleen blocks it and throws a few body shots to separate them. Colleen runs off the ropes, but whatever she had in mind is cut off as Raab catches her with a clothesline!

Sharper: “This has just been a fight from the moment the bell rang.”

Kayl: “Both former Underground Champions, both well-versed in throwing hands and just beating the crap out of people. I expected nothing less!”

Raab looks down at Colleen in anger before he grabs her by the waist and deadlifts her into an everest german suplex, holding the bridge for a pin!

1!

2!

Colleen gets her shoulder up! Konrad looks even more angry now as he stomps away at her, causing Colleen to roll towards the ropes. Just as she gets partially under the bottom rope, Raab grabs the top one for balance as he keeps stomping away at her.

1!

2!

4!

Raab stops, but turns and yells at Hollinsworth, who holds his hands up and reminds Raab he’s just doing his job. Konrad huffs before he sees Colleen now on the apron and using the ropes to pull herself back to her feet. He goes to grab her, but she grabs his head and hangmans him across the top rope! Raab falls back to the mat, clutching at his throat, as Colleen climbs back into the ring. Raab sits up and Colleen runs at him, connecting with a low-angle running crossbody! She hooks the leg for a cover.

1!

2!

Raab kicks out!

Sharper: “Colleen fighting her way back into this and Raab’s starting to get frustrated.”

Kayl: “He’s made himself a long list of enemies and he made his demands clear since he’s on the last leg of this retirement tour of his. He probably thinks this match with Colleen’s a waste of time despite being the former Underground Champion!”

Raab gets to his hands and knees, crawling towards the ropes to help himself back to his feet, but Colleen steps over him and jumps up before landing in a sit across his lower back! Konrad growls in pain as Colleen stands up, only to drop into another sit across his lower back. She reaches down and grabs his head, trying to turn this position into a camel clutch of sorts, but Raab manages to swat her hands away before grabbing the bottom rope, forcing Hollinsworth to make Colleen back off. She gets off of Raab’s back as he pulls himself out to the floor, using the apron to support himself as he clutches at his lower back before roaring in fury and smacking the apron. Hollinsworth starts to count Raab out, but stops to block Colleen’s path when she attempts to go out after him. While they argue, Raab digs around under the ring before retrieving a kendo stick. He slides back into the ring and swings it at Colleen, who just barely ducks it! Raab isn’t deterred, however, as he goes to try again, but this time Hollinsworth manages to yank the kendo stick out of his hands!

Sharper: “Raab has definitely lost it! He doesn’t seem to care if he gets disqualified so long as he hurts Colleen!”

Kayl: “It’s an effective way to send a message, though I doubt CHBK’s going to just give in that easily if this is how Konrad thinks he can get his way!”

Hollinsworth goes to toss the kendo stick out of the ring. As he does, Colleen rushes Raab, intending to catch him with a spear, but Raab catches her with an uppercut that drops Colleen! It’s at this point that Konrad reveals he also slipped a pair of brass knuckles onto his hand, and he tosses those away before Hollinsworth can see before lifting Colleen up and planting her with The Burninator! Hollinsworth catches only the impact of the move and slides into position as Raab makes the cover.

1!

2!

Colleen kicks out! Raab immediately loses it, getting in Hollinsworth’s face and claiming this match should be over, but Hollinsworth doesn’t budge on his two count.

Sharper: “Konrad almost stealing this one with those brass knuckles and The Burninator, but Colleen kicking out at two!”

Kayl: “Guess Konrad’s going to have to try a little harder to Burninate the countryside if he wants this win!”

Raab pushes past Hollinsworth and heads to his corner, grabbing his flanged german mace, drawing tons of boos from the fans. Hollinsworth demands that he puts it down, but Raab shoves him aside and goes to slam the mace down onto Colleen’s back, but she suddenly lunges and spears him! The fans cheer as Raab hits the mat, though he keeps hold of the mace. Colleen rolls out to the floor, trying to get her bearings. A few moments later, Raab rolls out to the floor on the adjacent side, right in front of the announce table. He staggers around the ring, moving towards Colleen, ignoring Hollinsworth’s warnings as he’s determined to brutalize her with the mace regardless. Colleen throws some right hands into his gut to stop him, but he manages to knee her in the face to stun her. He lifts the mace high, ready to swing it down, but the fans roar as somebody suddenly jumps the barricade and rips the mace out of Konrad’s hands!

Kayl: “Thank god somebody in this arena has a heart!”

Sharper: “Oh my god! That’s not just anybody that stopped Konrad from using that damn mace of his!”

Konrad turns, furious and ready to strike, but his eyes widen as he finds himself staring down a ghost from his past in the form of Drake Hemingway! The fans are roaring as the two men glare at one another, with Drake slowly backing away while still holding Konrad’s mace. Konrad looks about ready to start throwing hands with his former fellow Jackal, but Colleen grabs him from behind and shoves him facefirst into the ringpost! Raab is stunned as Colleen throws him back into the ring, turning and snapping at Drake who doesn’t even acknowledge her, his gaze still locked on Konrad. Colleen just huffs before rolling into the ring, pulling Raab away from the ropes before she delivers The Collapser! Colleen remains seated on Raab’s face, reaching back to hook the leg for the cover.

1!

3!

Hollinsworth calls for the bell as "How Far I'll Go" by Auli'i Cravalho hits again. Colleen stands up and Hollinsworth raises her arm in victory, but she just looks over at Drake before looking down at Konrad and shaking her head.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Colleen MacDonald!”

Sharper: “Colleen getting the win here tonight and getting herself back on track, but you can tell this isn’t quite how she would’ve wanted to do it.”

Kayl: “This wasn’t an Underground Rules match no matter how much Raab wanted to make it one midway through, but it’s still a fight she mostly won on her terms.”

Sharper: “The bigger story here, however, is that Konrad may be getting one of his wishes granted as part of this revenge/retirement tour with the return of Drake Hemingway.”

Kayl: “And Konrad’s finding out that sometimes, you should probably be careful what you wish for!”

Colleen rolls out of the ring, shaking her head as she makes her way to the back, though she does accept some high-fives and congrats from fans on the win along the way. The camera, however, cuts back to Drake, still holding Konrad’s mace in his hands, as he just stares at Raab slowly recovering in the ring. He makes no move to actually do anything, however, just watching the man who’s wanted his hands on him for some time.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Konrad Raab storming through the backstage area. Ginny Raab is running after him, trying to control him.

Raab: “Where the hell is he? That son of a bitch? Where is he?”

Raab storms down the hallway before turning the corner. Dean Black steps up and CHBK walks over to him.

Raab: “You! Drake! Where is he?”

CHBK: “Konrad! Calm down! Calm down…you said you wanted this Chamber match and I’m going to be giving it to you, Konrad. But I’ve heard the whispers, the demands, everything else. If you’re calling it a career in SCW, I’m going to make sure that we’re going to end your time here correctly.”

Raab: “Where is he?!”

CHBK: “He’s where he needs to be. Signing a contract for one-night only to arrive at Under Attack and he’ll be one of the five people in that structure ready to fight you!”

The crowd erupts. Raab just smirks and that smirk turns into a full smile.

CHBK: “You want your hardcore war…you’ve got it!”

Raab continues to smile as the crowd roars. Raab just nods and looks around before turning to Ginny and pats her on the back. Ginny looks at him, almost uneasily, as the scene cuts away.

Sharper: “Drake Hemingway is back! And back for one night. Konrad Raab. Drake Hemingway. Two of the six in this chamber match that Raab wants. This war he wants.”

The scene switches to another part of the backstage area, particularly tricked out to have palm strikes, a small beach, and even the appearance of water around it. We see Destiny Page standing next to the island, holding a cue card and microphone, while wearing only a white bikini and sunglasses. The crowd roars seeing her. She then looks at the camera.

Destiny: “Do we know when he’s coming?”

Cameraman: “Should be on his way?”

Destiny: “Okay, good…”

We then see Wendell walking over, almost gawking before shaking his head.

Wendell: “Uh…uh…Des…I-“

Destiny: “Oh! Wendell! Hi! Great to see you. I was hoping to run into you .We really cleared the air last week and well, I wanted to talk to you some more. Trying to see things your way as I think you’re really sweet. Just have to do a spot here.”

Wendell: “You’re in a bikini…wait, you think I’m sweet.”

Destiny: “Well, yeah. You’re a little innocent and well, Dexter is a bit intense, so I wasn’t sure about you. And this…it’s nothing. What I wear at the beach and even when I went to KABLAMia earlier in the year. We’re actually about to run a spot for a big show there. Adonis got some sponsorship agreement. Looking forward to a mini-vacation with only a bit of work.”

Wendell: “Oh, you’re going to that…I wasn’t sure. Dexter really isn’t happy about it.”

Destiny: “Well he doesn’t have to go. Heard he’s got a Shot of Adrenaline match at Under Attack.”

Wendell: “Yeah…I don’t know how happy he’ll be on that.”

Just then, Chris and Ryan Hollywood storm into the scene. They just run roughshod, stepping forward and even pulling Wendell out of the way.

Chris: “Destiny! What…”

Ryan: “You’re dressed in a bikini. On a beach. Don’t tell me that you were supposed to do Victoria’s Secret and SCW screwed it up.”

Chris: “We can fix that. We fixed the Dependables. We can fix this!”

Destiny: “It’s not that-“

Chris: “Did you get cancelled?”

Ryan: “For being GORGEOUS?”

Chris: “Probably had some Angel or Perfect 10 instead. I heard they’re so desperate they even asked the lookalike of an SCW hall of famer to get up there.”

Ryan: “You’re totally better than that. Totally.”

Chris: “Hotter.”

Ryan: “In the beauty sense and in the investment sense.”

Destiny: “Guys!”

Chris and Ryan stop.

Destiny: “First off, Victoria’s Secret do have bikinis, but they were selling lingerie last night and second, this isn’t for that. I’ve been asked to help promote the Derek Adonis and Supreme Championship Wrestling co-promoted event A Wholesome Family Event…but you have to be over nineteen.”

Chris: “Well that’s good for us. We’re so there.”

Ryan: “Totally. Heard their spa is AMAZING and trust me, with our sign of approval.”

Chris: “Cha-ching!”

Destiny: “About that…after earlier in the year with the THEM stuff and Dependables stuff…you apparently snuck onto the island…they’ve not invited you.”

Chris: “What?”

Destiny: “They’ve-Damn. Okay, you need to go. I have to do much job!”

Destiny shoos Chris and Ryan out of the way and they look back as they are forced off as Derek Adonis walks in wearing a faux-leopard skin cape and scepter while flanked by Sweet Sangria and Anastasia Fantasia. He has a clipboard in front of him and he’s writing on it.

Adonis: “Alright. Are we ready? Are we ready for a night where everyone can leave satisfied?”

Adonis smiles.

Adonis: “A night where ANYTHING can happen, provided you consent.”

Adonis smirks.

Adonis: “A night where people are going to penetrate the social fabric (KABLAM!) and make people beg and scream for more!”

Destiny: “Hi Derek. Here to help you promote this event.”

Adonis: “Ah, Destiny. Good to see you again. I see that the hot rock massages have helped you relax after everything at Rise to Greatness.”

Destiny: “It’s been a wonder. Thanks for the invitations.”

Adonis: “Anything to help people out. As you know, we cover relaxation and satisfaction in a variety of different ways.”

Wendell is then seen looking shocked as he then sneaks out of view.

Destiny: “And it’s great that SCW is again allowing you to promote what you do. KABLAMia can be so misunderstood.”

Adonis: “But of course, but we hope to fix that. A lot of the roster may need some R&R after Under Attack. Not Konrad Raab or the EFN of course. They’re still banned, but the rest. Well, we could see some opportunity and plus, we’ll hold a few matches. I’m in tough negotiations with CHBK.”

Destiny: “How is he to negotiate with. He would seem to be a traditionalist in some ways.”

Adonis: “Alex? Please…this is a man who would be right at home in KABLAMia. I mean, I’ve seen his work…KABLAM!”

Destiny forces a smile.

Adonis: “And not only that, he realizes that the world could use some relaxation and help with stress, but with the unique location of KABLAMia, we can have some really interesting matches. Matches that get people talking and not only promote KABLAMia but SCW in general. It’s a perfect marriage, of which he and I would know plenty of having had several successful ones ourselves.”

Destiny looks a bit confused.

Adonis: “But I’m already trying to secure a bit match for A Wholesome Family Event. I mean…it’s almost perfect. But depending on how the Trios Tournament goes….”

Destiny: “Can you give us a hint?”

Adonis: “Well I won’t say anything for sure but-“

We then see Gina and Gia Glimmer saunter onto the screen.

Gia: “Oh I think we can offer something.”

Gina: “Maybe we give him a previews because Derek, we would be right up your alley-“

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

We then see security running into view. Dillusion can be seen joining them.

Dillusion: “Get them out. They’re not supposed to be on tv yet. Not after their stunts at Rise to Greatness.”

Adonis: “Wait…call me!”

Gia and Gina are forced back as Destiny watches them dragged away.

Adonis: “Now…I can tell you for sure, they will be welcome at KABLAMia!”

Destiny: “Somehow I’m not shocked.”

Adonis turns back to Destiny.

Adonis: “Now…Destiny, have you met Sweet Sangria or Anatasia Fantasia. They’re going to join you for this commercial?”

Destiny: “We’ve seen each other, but this is the first time I’ve met Anastasia. Sangria and I chatted during my August visit.”

Adonis: “Wonderful!”

The scene cuts away.

We cut to another part of the building to see Jessica Winters standing with Dexter Grant who is shaking his head.

Winters: “Jessica Winters here and I’m with Dexter Grant and well, I’m sure you have something to say about what you just saw.”

Grant: “Wendell I think is opening his eyes. Shamefully some are happy to keep them closed.”

Winters: “Well about that, last week you had an interesting reaction to the tournament. When you were finally tagged in you tried, but for most of the match you were disinterested and one could say you were a reason your team didn’t move on-“

Grant: “Ah, now manufacturing controversy. It’s not going to work with me. The fact is that I have a very simple explanation. Lawler and Steele wanted to play their game. They wanted to act heroes, but when they needed the top talent in the match in, I competed. I did what I expected to do, even if I find the whole idea of the tournament odious. But then, Diamond needed to be the centre of attention. And it feel apart. And she needed to learn that people who crave that attention should be ignored. And so I ignored her and I let her fail.”

Grant looks at the camera.

Grant: “I doubt she’ll learn given the work she’s had done and her attitude. But then again, she’s perfect for SCW. She’s a charicature, wanting to get these over the top entrances, shouting LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I’m not going to entertain that. Just like I’m not going to make it more than it is. She is not someone who is worth saving or convincing to disconnect. She’s already a lost cause. And I wasn’t going to farm for like by giving into her game. Now her best chance at relevancy is gone and she has to put in the work. I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Lawler: “And what about me, huh?”

Grant turns as Chris Lawler walks over to him

Lawler: “Going to get in my face when you were barely interested.”

Grant: “You wanted to puff up your chest to appear better than Slayton and Frost. And how did that work out?”

Lawler: “You know…I still have to face you in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament. I hope you survive until we meet. Because I’m going to take that title from you!”

Grant: “Get the social media machine going….Pathetic.”

Grant turns and walks off. Lawler just watches him leave, seething as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Simon Lyman and Amy Chastaine are talking in the catering area. We then see La Pequena Luz in the distance and she starts to head over to them. The crowd cheers as Luz heads over and Simon nods. Amy turns to her.

Luz: “In catering. Just hanging out?”

Amy: “Good sight-lines. I already know people are watching me in case I try something.”

Amy nods as we see Hiro Tanaka watching from the distance.

Simon: “Turns out, we’ve had a bit too much fun.”

Amy: “After everything they’ve done, I have no problem bringing them to their knees. And one way or another, I plan to get my hands on James before this is done.”

Luz: “About that…the tournament, Simon. Can I get a word?”

Simon: “Sure. Excuse me.”

Lyman gets up and walks over to Luz, moving over to the side as Amy takes a drink of water.

Simon: “What do you need-“

Luz: “I’m not sure what to think, Simon. I get that Ryan had her own aims and-“

Simon: “I’m not going to apologize, Luz. Fall of Man tried to take me out. Keeps going after Amy. I’m not going to just sit on the sidelines.”

Luz: “I understand that. I’m not saying don’t. Just…it feels a bit manipulative that you essentially used your position as an alternate to jump the gun. Did you know of being the first alternate?”

Simon: “Don’t worry about that Luz. Just focus on tonight. With Cannon, we have a good team. Probably one that’s working better than it would have been with Ryan involved. I’ll take that as a win.”

Simon pats Luz on the back and then turns and heads back to Amy. Luz looks a bit uncomfortable before trying to visibly shake it off and head off.

Maria Karagianni vs. Religious Wright

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall.  Introducing first, Maria Karagianni!

The bass drops in the introduction of “Beyond the Veil” by Lindsay Stirling plays. We then see Maria Karagianni walk out from the back as the crowd looks on. She looks at the crowd smirking before making her way to the ring. As she walks up the steps, she rolls her eyes with an evil grin, slowly entering the ring and teasing the crowd. She leans against the turnbuckle, resting her leg on the bottom turnbuckle

Phillips: And her opponent, from The Sword of Joshua Full Gospel Pentecostal Temple of Joy Holiness by way of Mt. Judea, Arknasas, he is RELIGIOUS WRIGHT!

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

Sharper: “Maria Karagianni making her debut here in SCW here in Oklahoma. A Greek born star. You have a lot in common with her, Devon.”

Kayl: “Hey, I’ve gone pro. I’ve seen her vlogs. They’re cool. Clearly going to share a lot of herself with SCW fans!”

Wright gains an early advantage by throwing the holy water into Maria’s eyes.  Wright tries to capitalize, connecting with a Japanese arm drag and a spinning heel kick. He locks in a Full nelson and goes for the suplex but Maria goes low with a mule kick which the referee doesn’t detect.

Sharper: “And Maria going low. Right south of the border.”

Kayl: “And that’s Wright’s weakness!”

With Wright doubled over, Maria delivers a swift soccer kick to the ribcage.  A thesz press into mounted punches followed by biting!  The referee warns her to stop and eventually she releases him.  Wright stumbles back to his feet but she trips him up and drops an elbow onto his back.

Sharper: “Maria scrapping with Wright right now.”

Kayl: “He doesn’t know whether to guard his back, his ribs, his head, anything.”

Maria with a face stomp to Wright. She digs her heel into his forehead. Maria locks him in an abdominal stretch.  Wright counters with a hip toss.  Wright with a slingblade and a spear. Wright goes up to the top turnbuckle. He leaps off, going for Leap of Faith…but Maria moves out of the way just in time and Wright hits nothing but canvas!

Sharper: “And Maria Karagianni moves out of the way!”

Kayl: “The power of Christ compelled her!”

Maria slowly pulls herself back up as does Wright. Maria with a clothesline, then another clothesline, then a dropkick.  Wright charges in but Maria with Clickbait, the shin kick. Maria with a ddt. She covers…

1…

2…

…3NO! Wright kicks out!

Maria pulls him back to his feet but Wright rakes the eyes.  Wright takes a few steps back and charges in for a spear but she avoids it and she slams into the corner.  She drops him with a reverse ddt.  She locks in a sleeperhold and follows it up with the body scissors, PHOTO OP!  Wright is fading…

Sharper: “And that sleeper…the Photo Op. She’s got Wright. Wright slowly…”

Kayl: “He may be fading and he’s not going to have sweet dreams!”

Religious Wright slowly drops to his knees and then to his back. The official checks on Wright. He is out. The referee calls for the bell.

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Maria Karagianni!

Karagianni lets go and gets up. She then looks at Wright and smiles before turning as the official raises her arm. She then looks around and leans on the ropes, enjoying her music as it plays throughout the arena and the scene cuts away.

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen followed by the Trios Tournament logo. We then see a shot of Sutter, Braddock & Belmont vs. Luz, Lyman and Cannon.

Sharper: “Folks, next, our first of two semifinal matches in the Trios Tournament. Clyde Sutter, Melinda Braddock and Alex Belmont look to continue their success against La Pequena Luz, Simon Lyman and Chris Cannon. It’s next!”

The scene cuts away.

Breakdown returns as Selena Frost is yelling at CHBK. Dean Black stands with him as Autumn Valentine stands behind them, taking notes.

Selena: “I want them next. They’ve got to be taught a lesson. They’re running around and now even being a part of this farce with Adonis! Just give me next-“

CHBK: “It’s not going to happen. At least not for a bit. Gina’s in the Trios Tournament. We’ll see how that goes and the Shinigami Foundation are next in line. They have their rematch. You know – the thing you sat on for a year. And that’s why I’m not putting you up against Cid. You had your shot there.”

Selena: “Just disrespect everywhere. Now you’re not even going to look at reality. There’s me and everyone else. Or do I need to go away again so you have some idiot intern screw up and you need to remind yourself how much this promotion OWES me!”

CHBK: “Selena…you want your shot at the Glimmers – wait in line. Find a partner.”

Selena: “I don’t need one!”

CHBK: “Or they don’t want to work with you now-“

Selena: “It’s not that at all. Don’t your dare question that.”

CHBK: “Doesn’t matter. Deanna’s busy with Shot of Adrenaline anyways, even if she had said what she had. And you’re not that well liked. So maybe you need to step back and reconsider a few things.”

Selena: “No, you need to reconsider things. And I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time with you. What was that stunt with Glory last week? No ref? Did you even…you know what…I’m done with the disrespect. I’m going to beat Dante Slayton. I’m going to humiliate him here in Oklahoma and then you’re going to have to decide whether Shinigami Foundation should even be in any lines. Remember who the hell you’re talking to!”

Selena turns and storms off. CHBK shakes his head. Autumn keeps writing. CHBK turns back.

CHBK: “What are you doing?”

Autumn: “Taking notes. I…”

CHBK: “It’s on film, Autumn. If you’re going to make this change, work smarter, not harder. Then again, if I didn’t know better, you may be taking notes for Lexy.”

Autumn: “Look, I moved on from-“

CHBK: “Yeah, yeah…come on.”

CHBK walks off as Black looks at Autumn. Autumn quickly rips the paper from her clipboard and throws it down on the ground as she walks off after CHBK and Black.

Clyde Sutter, Melinda Braddock & Alex Belmont vs. La Pequena Luz, Simon Lyman & Chris Cannon

2025 Trios Tournament Semifinals

“Believe In Tomorrow” by Sunflower’s Garden begins to play as bright white lights begin flickering on and off on the stage in rhythm with the music. La Pequeña Luz, wearing the SCW United States Championship, skips out onto the stage with the kind of smile that could light up an entire room all on its own plastered to her face, dancing a bit to her theme song and waving her arms in an attempt to get the crowd pumped up, drawing cheers.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a thirty minute time limit and is a 2025 Trios Tournament semifinals match! First, from Tulancingo, Hildalgo, Mexico, the SCW United States Champion, La Pequena Luz!”

As she looks down towards the ring, the smile fades as something seems to flicker through her mind, but as she runs her hands along the sleeves of her robe, her smile returns and she proceeds to skip her way down the ramp. Once she reaches ringside, Luz hops up onto the apron, grabbing the top rope before vaulting herself into a somersault into the ring, landing on her feet. She begins skipping around the ring, motioning once more for the fans to make some noise as they answer this call before she goes to her corner, slowly removing the robe and giving it a hug before setting it under the bottom turnbuckle. She also hands off her title.

Sharper: “First of two Trios Tournament matches here and this could be an interesting match. Luz, the US Champion, with Lyman and Cannon. Veterans here with a lot of experience.”

Kayl: “A lot of motivation too!”

Sharper: “But Sutter, Braddock and Belmont may be as unified as a team we’ve seen in this tournament in a long time.”

The lights go out with a flick of a switch plunging the arena into complete darkness. A few fan’s flashes can be seen going off and as they do the haunting opening to Paint it Black by Hidden Citizens begins to play over the P.A System. While it does CHRIS CANNON appears on the big screen, and the moment it does a spotlight shines down directly to the stage where the man stands. The light comes back on next when the lyrics begin and we see Chris Cannon is not alone. A brunette stands with him while he wears a sleeveless trench coat. His long dark hair hanging down over his face…

Phillips: “And finally, hailing from London England. He is being accompanied to the ring by Yvonne Knight, he is Chris CANNON!!!”

The moment Phillips finishes, Cannon begins the slow walk down towards the ring. From what it looks like his eyes focused on the ring in front of him. Yvonne walks behind him smiling and waves to a few fans. Chris does not acknowledge them. Instead when he reaches the bottom of the ramp he stops for a moment before throwing his head back so the hair no longer obscures his face a look of pure intensity and focus on display. He quickly leaps onto the apron and enters the ring while Yvonne stands at the bottom of the ramp. Cannon walks over to a corner and climbs onto the 2nd rope and looks out at the crowd and hits his chest as a final acknowledgement to them.

He then steps down and walks to the opposite side and does the same once more before removing his jacket and handing it to a member of staff. Chris then looks down to Yvonne who blows him a kiss as she now walks around the ring to Cannon’s corner. Cannon steps down grabs the top rope and pulls at it and then proceeds to warm up in the ring before the bell.

Sharper: “Cannon worked well with Luz and Lyman. Now the question is can he get one step closer to something he wants. He gets that contract and he gets a title shot.”

Kayl: “Whole point for him has been a desire to rewrite history. This goes a long way to it!”

The crowd buzzes before “Hero” by Skillet plays. The crowd roars. A few moments pass before we see Simon Lyman walk out from the back, wearing his wrestling robe. He looks around as she pauses for a few seconds, taking in the moment. He then looks up and looks around the arena. The crowd cheers as Simon then heads to the ring.  

Phillips: “And their partner, on his way to the ring, from Columbus, Ohio, he is Simply Sensational, Simon Lyman!”

Simon walks down the entrance way. Simon walks over to the ring and over to the steel steps. He grabs the ringpost and climbs up the steps and onto the apron. He then steps into the ring. He steps around and extends his arms as the crowd cheers him. He looks around for a few moments before undoing his robe. He slides it down and places it on the outside. He then walks around the ring before going to the corner and stretching out.  

Sharper: “Lyman stunned us last week. Attacking Ryan LeCavalier and we found out that he was the alternate.”

Kayl: “And it’s worked out for Luz and Cannon. But then again, Luz and Cannon had to accept it and Lyman and Luz having a bit of a tense discussion earlier.”

“SHIN-I-GAMI FOUNDATION!”

“Awaken” by Dethklok plays. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Alex Belmont walks out from the back and looks around the arena. Belmont heads to the ring.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, representing the Shinigami Foundation, from Houston, Texas, he is Alex Belmont!”

Belmont reaches the ring and climbs up onto the apron. Belmont enters the ring. Belmont walks around the ring, taking off his entrance attire.

Sharper: “A shift from last week – Slayton not out here with Belmont. Is that a decision for Sutter and Braddock. Is that a sign that he’s focused on this.”

Kayl: “Don’t know, but then again, Lawler was against Belmont. Slayton had a reason to be there. He’ll be in action later too!”

Sharper: “Against Selena Frost.”

The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play.  As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face. He is joined by the beautiful Melinda Braddock. Fiona Logan stands behind them.

Phillips: “And his partner, accompanied by Fiona Logan, they represent the Vision, they are Melinda Braddock and the Assassin Clyde Sutter!”

After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, the trio begin to make their slow walk down the ramp. The spotlight follows the sinister sociopath as he approaches the ring. They reach the ring area and Melinda kisses him on his cheek. Sutter then foregoes the steel steps as he leaps up from the floor to the ring apron. He turns and lifts Melinda up and then holds the ropes open for her. She enters and Sutter follows as Fiona walks around the ring. The spotlight remains on Sutter and Braddock for a few moments before going to Belmont, joining him in their corner.

Sharper: “Sutter and Braddock – working well as a team last week. Belmont was a great addition too. They were solid. Very solid.”

Kayl: “But they probably don’t have as disjointed of a team as they had last week. Dexter Grant was largely disconnected, no pun there, from his team. And when Diamond tried to be the hero, it backfired.”

Sharper: “But that’s part of the issue – people want to be the hero. But with Luz, Cannon, Lyman. They’re veterans. This will be a different challenge.”

Jennifer Cassidy, the referee, calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Sutter steps up as Cannon steps up from his corner. The other members of each team exit the ring. Sutter and Cannon jaw at one another before locking up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another before Cannon moves into a side headlock. Cannon pulls back and Sutter pulls him back into the ropes and fires him off. Cannon bounces off and Sutter steps up, but the two collide, shoulder to shoulder and neither budge. They look at one another and Sutter then grabs Cannon and throws him in to the ropes. Cannon bounces off and the two collide again. They lock eyes again before Sutter goes to send Cannon off, but Cannon spins through and sends Sutter off. Sutter bounces off and Cannon hits a dropkick. Sutter slowly gets up and moves to the neutral corner. Cannon steps up and kicks him in the ribs.

Sharper: “Cannon with the dropkick. Stopping the early impasse.”

Kayl: “Fate played a cruel trick on Sutter.”

Cannon kicks him again and whips him across into the opposite corner. Cannon runs after and nails him with a clothesline. He then pulls him out and goes for a vertical suplex. Sutter blocks it and Cannon tries again. Sutter blocks it and nails him with a shot to the ribs twice and then hoists him up and throws him forward. Cannon lands on his feet though, but Sutter scoops him up and slam him down. Cannon gets back up and Sutter knees him in the ribs. He runs him over to the Sutter/Braddock/Belmont corner and drives him face first into the top turnbuckle. Cannon turns as Sutter tags in Belmont. Sutter then holds Cannon back as Belmont enters and hits a series of hard shoot kicks to the stomach.

Sharper: “Luz got the La Magica! The arm hyperextended!”

Kayl: “And in the middle of the ring!”

The crowd cheers as Sutter yells out and Melinda and Belmont enter and stomp her in the face. Cannon steps up as Lyman goes to.

She climbs to the top rope and then walks along the top rope and hits a diving elbow drop to Lyman.

Sharper: “Melinda Braddock with some great agility. The elbow to the heart of Lyman.”

Belmont however stops, grabbing the top rope. Belmont turns to Lyman who blasts him with a clothesline. Belmont rolls out of the ring, but just then Cannon turns as Sutter hoists him up into a military press before then turning and dropping him with the Cruciform Slam. Sutter rolls through.

Luz breaks it up. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “And Luz saving this for her team. Cannon didn’t know that Sutter had tagged in!”

Kayl: “And Belmont sold it beautifully. His tag experience coming in there.”

Luz then runs across the ring and jumps up and hits a crossbody, with both going up and over to the floor. Melinda then enters the ring and runs at Cannon, but Cannon side steps and sends her into Lyman. She jumps up and takes Lyman down with a crossbody of her own, but both fall to the floor. Cannon then sees Sutter get up and he runs at Sutter and goes for the C4, but Sutter lunges and catches Cannon with the Unforgiven. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Oh! Oh! Oh! C4 countered by the Unforgiven!”

Kayl: “Sutter got that foot up and Cannon ran right into it!

Sutter continues to stand in the ring. Melinda slides in and Sutter heads over to her and helps her out. Belmont smiles on the floor as Lyman grimaces in pain. Cannon remains down, the official now checking on him as the scene cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up backstage to see Syren standing with Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area. Lexy Chapel paces across the screen on her phone.

Chapel: “Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up-“

Syren: “Lexy-“

Chapel: “Oh sh-, we’re on.”

Chapel runs off screen.

Chapel: “Don’t worry about me. Have an important…uh…phone call to make!”

Syren looks a bit confused as Ravyn Taylor then moves into the scene.

Ravyn: “I can pretend to be her. OH GOD! THE RUSSIANS ARE COLLABORATING WITH THE REVERSE VAMPIRES-“

Syren: “Stop…”

Syren chuckles as Jessica turns to them.

Winters: “Well, we’re back from commercial. A bit of an odd start, but Syren, not the Trios Tournament you wanted. But you are coming off a big win against Meghan Strader and Tamika Strader. You tried to work with Polly. Things just didn’t work out and-“

Syren: “I wanted the Trios Tournament. I realize that’s what everyone is saying. And it’s going to sound blah. But I’ve not yet felt where I should be. Meghan pushed me to a limit and trust me, I’m not crazy about going into a pile of thumb tacks these days. And Meghan took me into her fight and had it not been for Chris Cannon, I may have fallen shot.”

Syren sighs.

Syren: “That’s what Trios was representing…a correct point. But I don’t have that. And 2025 is starting to tick away. I said when I returned to start this year I would be World Champion. And so I’m going to call my shot. I took on Meghan. I got through her. Someone hungry. Someone who wanted to hurt me. I’ve stepped up since she gave me that gut check. She put me on that losing streak. She tried to humble me, well I’m not going to humble anymore. After Glory…who’s next? Me? I’m going to try and slot in there. And if someone has a problem, test me. Because I’m as hungry as ever to be tested and prove myself!”

???: “Uh…Syren…uh…”

We then see Sweet Sangria walking over to her. Syren looks a bit confused.

Syren: “I’m sorry. I’m doing an interview-“

Ravyn: “This is one of Derek Adonis’s harem.”

Sangria: “He actually sent me and hearing you speak…”

Syren: “I don’t really want to hear from Derek. For whatever reason he’s had my number…then again, he’s had some help.”

Sangria: “Why he sent me and he’s not challenging you. He’s offering an olive branch. And hearing you speak, the tension, the anxiety…There’s some doubt.”

Syren: “That’s…I-“

Sangria: “It’s fine. We…we want to invite you to the island. For November 8. You don’t need to compete. But we figure you’ll want a break, regardless of what comes at Under Attack. We’ll treat you to whatever you want. As I said, an olive branch. Derek may be different, but he’s a decent guy under the…”

Ravyn: “Leopard skin coat?”

Sangria: “Yes.”

Syren: “Well, I-“

Ravyn: “Am I welcome?”

Sangria: “Of course. We have wonderful couples programming too.”

Before Syren can respond, Ravyn does.

Ravyn: “She’d be happy to take him up on this offer. Thank you. It’s very kind.”

Sangria: “I’ll tell him. He’ll be thrilled. And sorry to interrupt.”

Sangria walks off as Syren leans into Ravyn.

Syren: “Why did you say yes? Should we-“

Ravyn: “You need a break. And from some other things-“

Lexy Chapel then comes back on the scene.

Lexy: “Who was that? Why are you looking like that? Oh my God. They tried to attack you! That was a spy! I knew it! They’ve got whore spies now too! All of this undermine you. I’ll go after them!”

Lexy grabs her phone again and walks off. Ravyn looks at Syren. Syren just nods back as the scene cuts away.

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 sits proudly over his shoulder.

Sharper: “Last week, Cid Turner had enough of Selena Frost.”

Kayl: “Glory Braddock challenged Selena Frost to a put up or shut up type of fight. It was a fight. No official, but Cid Turner had enough.”

LAST WEEK:

Selena Frost and Glory Braddock both slowly start to pull each other up when the chants are drowned out by a growing roar from the crowd. We then see Cid Turner running along the floor alongside the rampway. He hops up and slides into the ring, brandishing the SCW World Championship. He gets up and Braddock gets to her feet as Selena looks up only for Cid to run at her and drill her with the SCW World Championship. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Cid came to the ring. Drilled Selena with the World Title.”

Kayl: “And then he dropped Glory!”

Cid then turns and runs at Glory and drills her with the World Title. The crowd ohs as Glory rolls over, holding her face. Cid Turner looks at Glory and then turns to Selena. He walks around the ring as the crowd looks on. Cid then takes the SCW World Championship and places it over his shoulder. He then shakes his head before turning and stepping through the ropes. He drops down to the floor and starts to head to the back. Cid Turner doesn’t look back as Selena and Glory are both down in the ring.

We cut back to the live shot to see Cid Turner in the middle of the ring, microphone in his hand. A “Cid!” chant echoes throughout the arena as his music fades out.

Cid: “I know some of you are hoping I’m going to come out here and make some jokes and just go, ha, ha, I melted the crown of the Snow Queen and reminded her of her times living in the mines of Alaska by letting her taste gold, but that’s not why I’m out here.”

Cid looks down briefly.

Cid: “Some of you may be going – why Cid? Why did you attack Glory? Why couldn’t you just talk about it? And it turns out that professional wrestling has made it hard to have a conversation. It’s easier to hit someone in the head to make a point. Then again, it’s a point I think Glory needed to hear. And it sounds like maybe she got her head on right. Sorry, Dexter Grant, but she’s still using social media and well…I was told by my daughter that…all bets are off…I delivered a cheap shot…and she was always focused on me…”

Cid pauses.

Cid: “Last I checked I wasn’t Selena Frost!”

The crowd roars.

Cid: “I know, I know. At one point, I was King America and King of the World and really friggin’ annoying. I get it. Hard to make that mistake. Then again, Glory, you look more like her and I could even tell the two of you apart. No…you need that extra ego. And-“

The first chords of "Immortal" by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play over the PA system. The crowd roars. Cid stops and turns to the entrance way as we see Glory Braddock walk out from the back, microphone in her hand, wearing a pantsuit. She looks down at the ring and shakes her head, walking with purpose.

Sharper: “And Glory Braddock is going to do this face to face.”

Kayl: “Just as Cid hit her in the face, well…face to face!”

Glory Braddock reaches the ring and pulls herself up onto the apron. She then steps into the ring. Glory then steps up, extending her arms. Cid looks right at her, the weathered look in his eyes revealing some pain. Glory then brings the microphone to her lips.

Glory: “Well if we’re going to do this, we can do this face to face. Just like I did with Selena.”

Cid: “Don’t get me started there. Nice of you to challenge her to try and tell her off when we know it’s nothing to stop a damn thing unless she’s unconscious, dead or injured.”

Braddock: “And maybe that was my plan…”

Cid: “Well good going. Even she realized no official out here and given your track record, little prankster…we’ve all been around the bush long enough. Was it even a real challenge or did you just want to screw with her. All I did last week when I took this title and hit you in the head, and hit Selena in the head, was just get rid of bullshit.”

Braddock: “I had my plan. And I could’ve gotten rid of Selena-“

Cid: “Fuck Selena Frost!”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Fans, we apologize for Cid Turner’s language.”

Cid: “I am the World Champion. I’m facing who is put in front of me and who has earned it. Amelia, earned it. You, earned it. Selena Frost LOST at Rise to Greatness after calling her shot. And she tried to take me out. She failed. She could’ve taken this broken down champion and ended it there and she couldn’t. For someone who bitches about disrespect, I still get it when I won the Taking Hold of the Flame, I won at Rise to Greatness. Just like it’s taken you months to prove that you betting on yourself was worth it!”

Glory and Cid just look eye to eye.

Cid: “I know I’m on borrowed time. I’m still going to say the awkward thing. I’m still going to piss people off. I can’t help it. I do it so well. Hitting you in the head with this belt – that felt like putting on a good pair of shoes. And trust me, I felt the impact and I yelled TOUCHDOWN in my head! My kid showed me a video of her celebrating. And I had to remind her that violence doesn’t solve problems unless it does! And then my wife yelled at me.”

Braddock: “Get to the point.”

Cid: “The point is that I know this may be it and I’m not giving this up without a fight. And I’m not going to let it be cheapened by someone who won’t get out of our way!”

Cid looks at the eyes of Glory.

Cid: “For once I get to spend every night I walk out still as champion, hugging my wife, my kids, and having EVERYTHING I’ve wanted until it won’t be anymore!”

Cid pauses again.

Cid: “And I’m not going to give it up easily. So-”

Braddock stops Cid.

Braddock: “You’ve talked enough champion…”

Cid looks at Braddock.

Braddock: “You can sit here and tell me how much you want it. You don’t need to tell me that because I’m exactly where I’ve been fighting to get for months. I had planned to have Selena Frost out here and because I know I can humiliate her, I was going to by making it so she’d have no choice but to accept to get to the back of the line. That’s the only way you deal with the deluded. It’s why it took Asher so long to get the hint and the same with Holly. Maybe you’ve lost perspective.”

Braddock looks at Cid.

Braddock: “But you are deluded. Because Cid, while you’re standing here and I respect what you’ve done…and you are living the dream we all want in this sport – to stand at the top of the mountain one last time with our family, looking back on everything we’ve accomplishing knowing it was worth it…”

Braddock pauses.

Braddock: “All last week did was make it clear that now I’m going to give you the proper send off when I make you tap out and give up in front of the world and give up on your dream, give up on this run…and finally get the reign I deserve. Under Attack will be the end of this run for you Cid. Prepare your family. The next hug you have after a match, will be followed by chants of ‘Thank you Cid!’ before we say goodbye for good!”

Braddock steps forward, right into Cid’s face.

Braddock: “Because Cid, while you won’t go down easily, I’m done waiting for my time rightfully at the top! Sic Semper Tyrannis!”

Braddock brings her microphone down, glaring at hole at Cid. Cid just looks at Glory, not responding. “Immortal” then starts to play.

Sharper: “The temperature turning up. Glory Braddock isn’t going to be intimidated by Cid’s claims.”

Kayl: “And isn’t going to just accept it. But Cid Turner isn’t backing down. Two proud veterans.”

Sharper: “And only one can be World Champion!”

The camera remains on both before we cut away.

Backstage, we see Kimberly Williams standing backstage looking proud of herself. She then leans forward, pulling out a cloth and starts to shine something. The camera pans back to see her various instruments of destruction laid out in front of her including her gardening glove, Betty White, her stuffed penguin, WASLEY, and her dual staple guns. She shines up the staple gun before then standing up and smiling. Angelica Jones then walks into the room.

Jones: “I leave you for a few moments and-“

Kim: “I’m just making sure they’re in good working order. You know if you don’t clean your staple guns they may jam. Then you use it as a club!”

Kim smiles.

Jones: “Uh…yes. I understand.”

Kim; “Well, I’m just sitting here, getting bored. I’m supposed to be beating people to get to the World Title. And I’m not even in the Shot of Adrenaline next week when it returns. Something not fun…and so I challenged ENIGMA and well…he’s busy with Trios. Pfft…”

Jones: “Well, if he loses, that could be an option.”

Kim: “Colleen may pick me to maim him. That could be fun. Full circle. I could finish the story. Long-term storytelling!”

Jones: “Or I could offer something else.”

Kim: “What’s that?”

We then see Konrad Raab walking into the room.

Kim: “Oktoberfest!”

Kim runs over and actually hugs Konrad. Konrad just looks at her.

Jones: “He wanted to speak with you.”

Kim: “Well he can always speak with me. We have phones. And then we can beat each other with them!”

Raab: “About that…as you know, my time in SCW is coming to an end.”

Kim starts to fake tearing up.

Kim: “We’ll always have the blood loss.”

Raab: “I wish to spill your blood one more time.”

Kim: “Are…..are you inviting me into the Chamber match?”

Raab: “Yes…”

Kim: “I do!”

Kim hugs Raab again.

Kim: “Can I bring my friends?”

Raab: “I hope so.”

Kim smiles and rubs her hands.

Kim: “Excellent!”

Raab turns and heads off as Kim clearly starts to plot and the scene cuts away.

We see shots of lights flashing down before hearing the sound of people clamouring to get a shot of someone, including paparazzi yelling “Look here!” as we see shots of Shaun Cruze on the red carpet before showing him signing autographs before morphing to showing him at SCW Fan Fest in previous years, signing autographs and talking to fans. We then cut to a shot of Shaun standing in the ring, motioning to the crowd, before showing him hitting the Cruze Missile on opponents and then showing him locking in the Shaunshooter. We see shots of him arguing with Kimberly Williams, before showing him throwing Kelcey Wallace off the stage, before showing him standing with Owen Cruze, and then showing him holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship with Kelcey Wallace, followed by a shot of him holding the SCW United States Championship, before showing him defeating Warren James and holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship before showing him celebrating as SCW World Champion, the images all getting fast and faster before then cutting to black.

A few moments later, Shaun Cruze walks out into the scene.

Cruze: “I always did know how to make an impact!”

Cruze chuckles to himself.

Cruze: “Maybe I need to remind some people…”

Cruze then calmly walks towards the screen, walking past the camera as the scene slowly fades to black.

Dante Slayton vs. Selena Frost

“SHIN…I…GAMI…FOUNDATION!!!”

The opening chords of “Personal Jesus” by the Goth God Marilyn Manson rips through the arena’s sound system. Red and orange lights flicker throughout, leading up to the entrance ramp, while Manson croons over the loud speakers.

“Your…own…personal…”

A white ball of possibly healing light shoots out from the behind the curtain as the cameras zoom in, edging ever so close to a possible climax, as Manson channels our lord and personal savior.

“Jesus…”

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, he is…the Master…of the Devil Trigger…”

“Your own….person…nalll…”

Flames burst from the white ball, shooting down both sides of the entrance ramp and back up again. The white ball dims, leaving a black pit of smoke, and out from said pit of smoke steps Dante Slayton…

“Jesus!!!”

“He is Dante Slayton!!!”

Slayton saunters down the entrance ramp, the crowd livened up like nobody’s business, with the former Television Champion looking like a rock and roll sex god, flames shooting up beside him with each step. Slayton breathes in smoke, then lets it trickle out of nostrils. He runs and slide into the ring under the bottom rope before getting to one knee and looking out the smoking hot crowd, as they cheer loudly at the chaos before them.

Dante nods in approval as the flames slowly die down, but not the excitement of the crowd. That is, until…

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!

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

Phillips: “And his opponent, she is a former, and multiple, time SCW World Champion…Thank you for hating her…Selena Frost!”

The ref calls for the bell. Dante and Selena begin to circle around the ring. Dante goes to lock up, but Selena drops down and rolls to the outside. The crowd boos as Selena smirks, slowly parading around the ring.

Sharper: “Selena Frost going to the floor, walking around, looking a little too proud of herself.”

Kayl: “It’s quite…devilish of her if I do say so myself.”

Dante drops down and gets to the floor. He charges and Selena quickly rolls back inside. Dante follows, but Selena is up on her feet and begins stomping on the head and back of Dante.

Dante rolls away and tries to cover up. Selena follows. Selena grabs Dante by the hair, earning more boos. Dante manages to shove Selena back. Dante then stands up and lands a clothesline, taking Selena down to the mat.

Dante pulls Selena up and whips her across the ring. Dante drops down as Selena bounces off the ropes, connecting with a knee to the side of the head. Selena then grabs Dante and hits a twisting neckbreaker. Selena goes for a cover.

1!

2!

Dante kicks out.

Sharper: “Selena with a quick neckbreaker, getting a two count.”

Selena grabs Dante, but Dante fires away with a European uppercut. Selena bounces into the ropes and comes back, only for Dante to grab her and drive Selena to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. Dante pushes himself up and looks at the turnbuckle.

Kayl: “Dante eyeing the top rope. And he’s going up!”

Dante gets to the top and looks at Selena, lying prone in the ring. Dante smirks before leaping off the top.

Sharper: “Dante going for Meteor Rain! Can he connect…NO!”

Kayl: “Selena getting the knees up. And she’s going for another cover.”

1!

2!

Dante kicks out once again. Selena gets to her feet and returns to stomping Dante in the head and back as he tries to cover up. Dante gets to the ropes and uses them to get to his feet as Selena clubs him with forearms to the head and back, before Dante manages to connect with a spinning back elbow. Selena drops the mat.

Sharper: “Dante put all his weight into that one.”

Dante goes for the cover.

1!

2!

3…NOOO! Selena shoots the shoulder up!

Kayl: “What an upset that would’ve been!”

Dante gets to his feet and begins to stalk Selena who is slow to get up, looking slightly dazed. The ref is shown checking on Selena. Selena gets to her feet and turns, as Dante explodes out of the corner. Going for a spear, Selena leaps out of the way just as Dante collides with the referee.

Sharper: “And the ref is down after that spear.”

Kayl: “But Selena is still standing.”

Selena is shown eyeing Dante, with cameras shooting over his shoulder. Dante looks up while Selena gets into position. Dante is slow to get to his feet. He turns just as Selena moves forward, going for a running superkick, but Dante grabs her foot and shoves it down, before grabbing Selena’s wrist, and connecting with a short arm lariat!

Sharper: “Dante reversed the Glass Shard into the Devil Trigger!”

Kayl: “And we’ve got company!”

Chris Lawler is shown rolling into the ring. Dante gets up and Lawler connects with a spear!

Sharper: “Dante down.”

Selena is shown getting up using the ropes. Selena gets to her feet and Lawler connects with a running big boot, leveling Selena. The crowd cheers as David Striker and Wil Pierce are shown racing to the ring.

Kayl: “PANDEMONIUM!!!”

Striker and Pierce get into the ring, only for Lawler to roll to the floor and hop over the barricade. Striker and Pierce give chase before the cameras focus on the ring, only for Gi and Gina to be shown rolling into the ring from the bottom rope.

Sharper: “The SCW World Tag Team Champions, the Glimmer Sisters in the ring now.”

Both begin to stomp away at Selena who is trying to cover up. Dante is shown getting to his feet. Dante gets up and turns and Gina blasts him with a superkick, driving Dante to the mat. The crowd boos, but only for a moment as the cameras turn to the entrance ramp, showing Xander Valentine storming out from the back.

Kayl: “The Executioner is in the building! Listen to this crowd!”

The Glimmer Sisters drop down and roll out of the ring as Xander pulls himself onto the apron. Xander gets into the ring and looks down at Selena who keeps her eyes on him as she is shown crawling over to the fallen Dante. Xander reaches down and pulls the referee to their feet. The referee shaking off the cobwebs looks and sees Selena covering Dante. Xander nudges him forward before stepping out of the ring and jumping to the floor. The ref makes the count.

1!

Sharper: “This turned into a disaster and Selena is going to capitalize!”

2!

3!

“Thank You for Hating Me” hits once again, as the crowd begins to boo. Selena sits up and looks at Xander who glances at her over his shoulder. She then looks at the Glimmer Sisters who are known in the crowd. Selena glares, but the Sisters smirk and wave before walking away.

Phillips: “Here is your winner…Selena! Frost!”

Selena gets to her feet and looks around at the chaos before climbing onto the apron. She takes another look at Dante who is beginning to stir, before she hops down and heads to the back, with the cameras cutting away.

COMMERCIALS

The Shot of Adrenaline logo comes up on the screen as “Limitless” by Adventure Club, featuring Delaney Jane plays. We then see a shot of three matches come up on the screen, followed by the words “Next Week!”

Deanna Frost vs. Chris Lawler

Kemal Yilmaz vs. Dexter Grant for the SCW Adrenaline Championship

Chris Dumont vs. Polly Pingotti for the SCW Television Championship

Sharper: “Folks, we’ve focused on the Trios Tournament this week and last, but the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament returns in full force.”

Kayl: “Yeah, and it would be four matches but Kim the odd person out, scheduled to face Spencer Pryce next week. Not the case now. Pryce out of the tournament.”

Sharper: “Injured his knee two weeks ago against Chris Dumont. The result is that he’s been scratched from the tournament – all of his matches are an automatic two points for his opponents across the board. And right now, no one has stepped up to really get any distance. Four people tied with the lead but next week could be a big one.”

The matches remain on the screen for a few moments longer before the Trios Tournament logo comes up on the screen.

Just Some Loser vs. Chase Upshaw

“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… 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.

Phillips: And his opponent, from Durham, North Carolina, CHASE UPSHAW!

“United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama,

Haiti, Jamaica, Peru,

Republic Dominican, Cuba, Caribbean,

Greenland, El Salvador, too.”

(Nations of the World by Rob Paulson plays.  Chase Upshaw makes his way onto the stage shouting and cursing as loud as he can.  The camera and microphones catch some of the curse words, causing the networks to bleep him out.)

“Puerto Rico, Colombia, Venezuela,

Honduras, Guyana, and still,

Guatemala, Bolivia, then Argentina,

And Ecuador, Chile, Brazil.”

(Chase starts to march his way down to the ring, flipping off a few fans along the way and mocking their complete and total lack of Geography knowledge.)

“Costa Rica, Belize, Nicaragua, Bermuda,

Bahamas, Tobago, San Juan,

Paraguay, Uruguay, Suriname,

And French Guiana, Barbados, and Guam.”

(Chase Upshaw slides into the ring and prepares for the match to begin.)

Kayl: “You know – times have changed since I started out. Typically you didn’t just be this honest!”

Sharper: “Yeah, I don’t know what to say. He is just some loser.”

Kayl: “SCW marketing has to love him. Maybe we’ll find out he’s linked to Dexter Grant. Would make sense. Both losers, just in different ways.”

Upshaw starts with a Russian Knee Strike followed by an Australian Outback Arm Drag. He goes for a Carolinian Clothesline but the Loser ducks it.  Just Some Loser with a spinning backfist, a back elbow, and a roundhouse kick that floors Upshaw.  Loser leaps up and drops a knee across Chase’s face.

Sharper: “Knee right to the face.”

Kayl: “Located in Oklahoma City!”

Loser whips Upshaw into the ropes and delivers a running jumping knee strike. He locks in an arm bar.  Upshaw fights to the ropes, eventually reaching them to force a break. Chase crawls to the ring apron to try and catch a break. Just Some Loser blasts him with a superkick that drops him to the outside. The loser gives chase. He goes outside, snatches Upshaw and delivers a fallaway slam to the outside. The referee begins his count…

1!

2!

3!

Loser with another fallaway slam to the outside on Upshaw.

4!

5!

Loser rolls into the ring to break the count. He threatens to strike the referee causing the referee to back off and warning him of a disqualification.  Meanwhile Upshaw is rolling back into the ring.

Sharper: “And Loser is just wearing out Upshaw.”

Kayl: “Someone get him some momentum. Ask him where Timbuktu is!”

Just Some Loser turns around into a South African Superkick from Chase!  Upshaw goes for a North American suplex but Loser counters with an arm wrench followed up by a kick to the face. Just Some Loser with a power slam. He stays on top for the cover, hooking a leg…

1…

2…

…3NO! Upshaw kicks out! Loser quickly goes into a legbar.

Sharper: “And only two. Very close. Upshaw, who we have seen build up some wins earlier, just getting his shoulder up.”

Kayl: “And he wins a legbar. Going to make it hard to even get up.”

Upshaw crawls towards the ropes, eventually reaching them and forcing a break.  Loser drags him back out to the center and reapplies the legbar.  Chase fights back to the ropes again forcing the break. The fans boo as Loser drags him back out and applies the legbar for a third time.  For a third time Chase fights out of it, reaching the ropes and forcing a break.

Sharper: “And again to the leg.”

Kayl: “He’s just tenacious. He wants Upshaw’s leg. Wants to rip it off and put it on his mantle!”

Loser pulls him up again but Chase rakes the eyes.  Chase with a South African Superkick but the damage done to his leg is evident, as he cannot capitalize. He pulls Loser back up and Just Some Loser rakes the eyes in return. Loser with a gutwrench power bomb to Upshaw. He covers…

1…

2…

…3NO! Upshaw kicks out! Loser quickly goes right into the ankle lock, The Don’t Tap!

Sharper: “And the ankle lock! From the knee to the ankle!”

Kayl: “Upshaw is going to find out where the physiotherapist is located!”

Wright struggles towards the bottom rope. He is inches away. Loser drags him back out to the center and wrenches the ankle lock in even tighter.  Chase Upshaw finally taps out.

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, JUST! SOME! LOSER!

Loser lets go and looks around. He shakes his head and then almost looks uncertain, pulling his arm away from the official. He then sighs and walks around the ring before exiting to the floor. He drops down and heads to the back.

Backstage, we open up to see Xander Valentine storming through the backstage area. He takes a few steps before seeing Autumn Valentine walking down the hallway.

Xander: “Alex! Where is he?”

Autumn: “Back there…talking to Derek Adonis.”

Xander grunts and starts to walk forward as the camera spins around and we see Xander turn the corner. We see Derek Adonis look up and turn.

Adonis: “I’ll be back!”

Adonis runs off as Xander storms towards CHBK.

Xander: “You better run! Son of a bitch!”

Xander stops and smacks the wall.

CHBK: “Xander…”

Xander: “No, just listen. Put me in the Chamber.”

CHBK: “What?”

Xander: “Put me in the Chamber. It’s that or I’m going to do a lot of damage you and I will both regret. Put in the Chamber. Tell Raab he gets one more shot at me. I don’t care. Just do it!”

CHBK looks Xander in the eyes. Xander just glares right at him.

CHBK: “Fine…you’re in.”

Xander: “Good….”

Xander looks down the hallway and we see Derek peaking his head out from around a corner. He quickly ducks back as Xander turns and walks in the opposite direction.

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as we see the Breakdown logo come up and then the Trios Tournament logo comes up before we see still of the second semifinals match.

Sharper: “Well it’s main event time-“

Kayl: “You know what I noticed with Xander trying to keep it together. The man is on a warpath…where’s the Fall of Man? They’ve been really quiet tonight after claiming last week was going to be a statement night. And it didn’t work out.”

Sharper: “Waylon…I don’t know. Ryan LeCavalier may be injured thanks to Lyman, but James Evans, we’ll see him next. His team, Evans, Enigma, Glimmer will face Strader, Taylor and Nevado! Trios Tournament continues next!”

The scene fades to black.

Meghan Strader, Gavin Taylor & Amelia Nevado vs. James Evans, Enigma & Gina Glimmer

2025 Trios Tournament Semifinals

"Unchained” begins to play as the houselights slowly dim. At the twelve second mark, lights start flickering as the beat and rhythm of the song get louder.

~Alright!

Haaa-ha-ha-ha!

You say, I cannot get there from here, baby

Then I don't care where I'm goin'~

The tron lights up with the chrome ‘S’ emblem and explodes into shots of Meghan, smacking the taste out Shadow Starr’s mouth with a kick to the jaw, stepping on Ai Mei’s skull, pinning Corey Lazarus one, two three and the last shot of her being her holding one half of the PWA Tag Team Titles, BWF Tag Titles, ICW Tag Titles, IWF tag Titles, CWA Tag titles and with the Revo1 Wrestling tag team title. All kinds of tag titles. It’s her thing.. Her name flashes on the screen, and a small amount of Pyro shoots off as Meghan steps out from behind the curtain.

~Thought you'd never miss me till I got a fat city address

Non-stop talker, what a rocker

Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress~

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, with a thirty minute time limit, is a semifinals match in the 2025 Trios Tournament, and is your main event of the evening! The first team, on her way to the ring from London, Ontario, Canada, representing the Cowgirls from Hell, she is Meghan Strader!”

~Change, nothin' stays the same

Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'

Change, ain't nothin' stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'~

Meghan stops and waves at the crowd as she shifts her hips to the right side. She makes her way down to ringside.

~I know, I don't ask for permission

This is my chance to fly

Maybe enough ain't enough for you

But it's my turn at a try~

~ Thought you'd never miss me till I got a fat city address

Non-stop talker, what a rocker

Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress ~

Meghan stops halfway down, looks side to side, raises up her arms and the entire stage explodes in gold and silver pyrotechnics as the family sneer comes across Meghan’s face.

~Change, nothin' stays the same

Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'

Change, ain't nothin' stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'~

At that Meghan turns it into a stride and slides under the bottom rope into the ring and jumps up to the top turnbuckle as she raises her fist in the air. She steps down, and awaits her team.

Sharper: “Meghan Strader became the fifth person to pin Waylon Creek. A big moment and one you know she has to feel good about.”

Kayl: “But that’s also gets them through round one. She wants more than just that. One more win and you’re in the finals facing Sutter, Braddock and Belmont!”

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 Security of Jack and Karl Barker. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays.

Phillips: “Next, from Justice, Illinois, accompanied by his All-Star Security, he is the All-Star Gavin Taylor!”

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 opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out.

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 watches for his next partner.

Sharper: “David Striker already calling out Gavin Taylor. And Gavin better focus on what he has here. This is going to be a tough one for him.”

Kayl: “It’s going to be interesting how these two teams work together. There are some interesting differences, but they also all have shown they can put things aside to get the job done. One side is more of a brawling team, the other more of a technical one. So we’ll see if that changes anything.”

“Victorious” by Skillet begins playing as the lights dim a bit. Slowly, Amelia Nevado makes her way onto the stage, putting herself front and center as she folds her hands in front of her, looking like a proper young lady as she looks somewhat solemnly down towards the ring.

Phillips: “And finally, from Oxford, England, she is Amelia Nevado!”

After a moment of this, Amelia slowly unfolds her hands and runs them along her mask, a smile slowly coming to her face. With this, she proceeds to head down to the ring, her look growing more determined and battle-ready the closer she gets. Once she reaches ringside, Amelia climbs the ring steps onto the apron, wiping her feet before stepping through the ropes. As the song goes into the chorus, Amelia gives a victorious fist pump to the delight of the fans as she takes a moment to soak in the lyrics before removing her robe and the mask, giving the latter a quick kiss before she sets them both in her corner.

Sharper: “And perhaps the person who would love to get through this for a number of reasons. I’m sure she’d love another victory over a Fall of Man member, but she’s also wanting that Trios shot. The World Title match loss against Cid at Apocalypse weighing on her.”

Kayl: “And you wonder if in a weird way, Luz not making it through may help. There’s not that trepidation of potentially having to face your wife!”

All the lights in the arena suddenly cut out, leaving the fans gasping and roaring in surprise. After a moment, blue lighting overtakes the arena, almost making it look like the entire place is underwater. On the stage, we can see what looks like water raining down right in front of the entryway, a silhouette of a woman visible behind it as she's flipping her hair and looks to be getting “dressed” for battle. “Tongue Twister” then hits and after a few seconds, we see Gina Glimmer (we assume) walk through the water, motioning as though she were parting a curtain, sashaying in a way that draws all eyes to her hips as she grins knowing full well what she's doing. Once she's fully visible she flaps her arms at her sides almost like she's flying, and as she does we see a second pair of arms flapping in the opposite motion appear from behind her, almost making her look like one of those multi-armed Hindu gods. After a few flaps she leans to one side as we see her twin Gia Glimmer (again, we assume) suddenly appear from behind her and lean the opposite way, perfectly mirroring one another. They join hands and look as though they're about to break into a ballroom dance, but Gina simply uses this to flip Gia over her back, and the moment she lands on her feet in time with the bass dropping the lighting immediately changes to a vibrant display of pinks and yellows. The SCW World Tag Team Championships are visible around their waists.

Phillips: “Their opponents – first, on her way to the ring, from Cirque de Sins, accompanied by Gia Glimmer, she is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Gina Glimmer!”

At this, the two begin to dance their way down to the ring, again a perfect mirror of one another as their sensual motions hypnotize the audience. The mirror routine breaks at a few points when they stop dancing to briefly interact with fans, Gina scoffing at some guy not worth her time in the front row desperately trying to get her number while Gia teases potentially flashing her side of the crowd only to stick her tongue out and tell them to “blame SCW” for the let down. Once they reach ringside they dance their way over to the hard cam side of the ring before pulling themselves onto the apron facing away from each other, where they press their butts together and slowly rise as they stick their tongues out and suggestively lick each finger, drawing excited cheers from all interested parties that clash with the boos they're otherwise getting from those that either aren't interested in them or see through the act. Once they're both fully upright, they mirror one another again as they lean back against the ropes, pushing out their chests for the fans' enjoyment before hooking their arms around the top rope and backflipping into the ring in sync. Once they're back in the ring the lighting returns to the underwater hues as they dance around the ring one more time, mirroring one another again, before meeting in the middle of the ring as a spotlight shines down on them. They sensually embrace, each lifting a leg up in a way that makes it seem like they're trying to wrap it around the other's body as they flip their hair before motioning for the camera to get a close-up of them as they grin and wink to the fans at home. The lights then completely cut out again for a brief moment before coming back on as normal, the Glimmer Sisters separating and moving to their corner as they wait for the bell with a hungry look in their eyes.

Sharper: “Gina and Gia have had some interaction with Amelia Nevado. You wonder if there’s some hope to challenge them at some point.”

Kayl: “Focus on what you have. And we know the Shinigami Foundation has their eyes on the Glimmers and after earlier, with them getting involved against Selena, and Xander coming out. Are they trying to game this.”

Sharper: “CHBK has already said he’ll be watching this closely. He wants no controversy in this one. Amy Chastaine also is another person to watch. She wants her hands on James Evans!”

“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: “Next, 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 then looks across the ring before slowly starting to pace around the ring. Gina and Gia Glimmer just watch Enigma.

Kayl: “Enigma also has someone waiting – Colleen MacDonald. He wins though, Colleen has to wait longer to get the revenge she wants. Enigma telling her she can name his first challenge after her.”

Sharper: “And Enigma will have a busy couple of weeks especially on this goes. His teams wins, Trios Tournament finals. His team loses, Colleen will name his next challenge for the Underground Title.”

The opening of “Shot from a Cannon" can be heard blaring through the PA system.  The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a negative reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in jeers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The boos intensify as James looks out at the crowd. William Heaven walks out with him.

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

James slowly makes his way to the ring, as images of him winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. He reaches the ring, staring at it.

Phillips: “And finally, representing the Fall of Man, from New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”

"Wish I could get that list
Yes, I would burn that list
Down he goes"

James then makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd, who continue to boo.

"Set him down to a real life failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll when the dam blows"

He then goes to the corner and sits on the top turnbuckle, his back to the crowd, as the screen shows James lifting the SCW World title above his head, as his music comes to an end. Heaven moves to the corner.

Sharper: “James Evans out last. You can see the confidence on his face. He’s the last member of the Fall of Man standing in this tournament.”

Kayl: “Not the tournament they wanted.”

Sharper: “Not at all and you wonder how much that is going through his head, through Heaven’s head.”

Kayl: “James is the one that pushed Waylon and you could make the claim that Waylon being too aggressive cost them. He’s become almost an uncoiled spring!”
