“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 Asher Hayes hitting Dust to Dust on an opponent, before showing the Glimmer Sisters posing in the ring. Glory Braddock is next shown posing, before we see David Striker diving over the top rope and Josh Hudson standing on the stage, smiling. Shots of Chris Dumont, 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 Phantom Troupe 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. Polly Playtime 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, Colleen MacDonald, Xander Valentine, and Amelia Nevado are shown before the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 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: “Welcome everyone to Steeltown for Breakdown!”

 

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

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to ringside. I’m Adam Sharper here alongside Jonathan Knots and folks, big night as always, tonight. But a lot to talk about.”

 

Knots: “The Cruzes are back in SCW. Not just Shaun, but now he’s brought his niece and nephew…Bekah…and yes, Owen Cruze.”

 

Sharper: “Owen Cruze back in SCW. A stunning turn of events last week. But that’s not all, Waylon Creek returning last week. But we also have notable breaking news. The SCW World Tag Team Championship is supposed to be on the line tonight. But Deanna Frost was in a situation at Club Ga-BLAM earlier this week.”

 

Knots: “There was no situation. She was a diva. She was terrible!”

 

Sharper: “Oh stop it!”

 

Knots: “We have footage!”

 

Sharper: “We do and we’ll show some of that tonight. So much to come tonight, including a huge main event…Bree Lancaster against Glory Braddock.”

 

“You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell starts to play and the crowd erupts in cheers. A few moments pass before Shaun Cruze walks out from the back, dressed in a white-collared shirt and jeans. A few strides behind is Bekah Cruze who looks around and then Shuan and Bekah turn to each other and then to the back as Owen Cruze walks out to the back to even further cheers.

 

Sharper: “And we start off tonight as we ended last week with the Cruze Family standing together!”

 

Knots: “I don’t believe it. I thought Owen Cruze was done. Shaun now bringing in his family after everything. There’s just arrogance written all over it.”

 

Sharper: “Or more correctly, CHBK saw the talent and opportunity to have one of the greats joins Shaun and Bekah, bringing Owen back. Remember, CHBK is in charge of hiring, firing, and matchmaking. Not Frank Delatosso.”

 

The Cruzes walk down the rampway and head to the ring as Shaun high-fives a few fans as Bekah runs to the ring and slides in. She then smiles as she looks around. Owen Cruze high-fives a few fans as Shaun reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. He enters the ring. Owen hops onto the apron and looks around. The crowd continues to applaud for the Cruze family as they walk around the ring. Shaun heads over to the corner and gets the attention of Jason Phillips, the ring announcer. Phillips hand Shaun a microphone. He turns and hands it to Owen. He then grabs another and hands it to Bekah before asking for a third. He then takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. The music starts to fade out and the crowd cheers before a “Holy Sh*t!” chant starts to echo throughout the arena.

 

Shaun: “So Bekah…how does it feel to be the reason these fans are losing their minds?!”

 

Shaun wraps his arm around Bekah as Bekah just looks up at Shaun and shakes his head.

 

Bekah: “I may be a Cruze but I’m not that conceited, Shaun!”

 

Owen walks over and taps Shaun on the shoulder.

 

Owen: “Uh…I think I may be part of the reason.”

 

The crowd roars as Owen looks around.

 

Owen: “So…uh…hi everyone!”

 

The crowd roars as Owen looks around. An “Owen!” chant breaks out. Shaun walks around the ring, allowing the fans to cheer for his nephew.

 

Shaun: “I have to say…you both have great timing.”

 

Bekah: “Ya think.”

 

Owen: “Someone has to watch you after some of the trouble you’ve been into.”

 

Shaun: “Hey, I’ve not been asking for the trouble. I’ve been just doing what I’ve been trying to do since I came back. Compete against the best and see what I still have left in the tank. And then while I have Gavin Taylor here in this ring, about ready to tap, his merry men came and tried to take me out. It looks like Gavin Taylor and his All-Star Secret Service is no match for the Cruze Family!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Shaun: “Now, I know Gavin you have Apocalypse circled on this calendar, You’ve got your rematch for the World Title against Deanna Frost. And I’ve heard of whatever happened in Montreal this past week. But Gavin, you have much more to worry about than just Deanna. If somehow, someway you manage to pull off another caper as you did against Syren months ago…”

 

Owen and Bekah then stand up with Shaun.

 

Owen, Bekah, and Shaun: “You have to deal with us!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Knots: “Us?!”

 

Shaun: “Should we tell them?”

 

Shaun looks at Bekah and then Owen.

 

Bekah: “Well I’m happen to announce I’ve signed a full-time contract with SCW!”

 

The crowd cheers. Bekah and Shaun turn to Owen. Owen looks around as the crowd roars.

 

Owen: “I think they know…”

 

The crowd cheers some more before Owen turns to the camera.

 

Owen: “Fine I’ll make it clear. I know I made it sound like I’d never be back…well…let’s just say, things change, and Owen Cruze is back in SCW!”

 

The crowd cheers. Shaun Cruze then walks up to the camera.

 

Cruze: “And this is one further note for Frank Delatosso. I already took out one of the people you’ve wrapped around your finger in Alistaire Allocco. Back on the injured shelf. A shame…But if you’re going to teach me more lessons, then you now have to deal with three of us!”

 

The crowd roars, but that quickly turns to some boos as we see Oskar Theron running out from the back. A few strides behind him are Dakon Theron and Ludvig Eriksson. Then we see Federico Gasperoni and finally Kemal Yilmaz. The crowd boos as Oskar enters the ring. He gets up and nails Owen with a hard right. He fires back as Dakon enters and Shaun runs over to him. Ludvig gets up and Bekah nails him with a couple of shots before he then fights back. Shaun and Dakon trade blows as Owen nails Oskar and knocks him down, but Federico enters and then nails Owen in the back. The crowd boos as Kemal then pulls himself onto the apron. He enters the ring and Shaun nails Dakon with a few shots before Kemal runs over and nails him with a hard right and then another. Shaun falls back into the corner. Kemal starts to attack him as Oskar gets up and joins Federico and doubling up Owen.

 

Sharper: “The EFN out here. And is this because of Gavin? Or because of Delatosso?”

 

Knots: “Or maybe they just want the Cruzes to shut up!”

 

Sharper: “The numbers are on their side. Five against three!”

 

Knots: “Looks like the Cruze Family has a problem then!”

 

Oskar and Federico attack Owen as Eriksson knocks Bekah to the floor, nailing her with a knee. She falls over and rolls into the announce table. Kemal nails Shaun over and over in the corner before Dakon and Eriksson then head over and grab Shaun and Kemal turns to them. They pull him back as Dakon and Eriksson club him in the back, knocking him down to his hands and knees. They pull him back up and Dakon hoists him up by placing his head between Shaun’s legs and lifting him up. Eriksson exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope.

 

Knots: “Well the Cruze family may be down one fast!”

 

Sharper: “Eriksson and Dakon Theron going for the Fiery European Destroyer!”

 

Owen tries to fight off Gasperoni and Oskar Theron, but they keep him back. Just then, Bekah Cruze grabs a steel chair from under the ring. She then climbs up onto the apron by Eriksson and swings the chair, nailing him in the lower back. Eriksson drops to the mat and rolls over in pain. The crowd roars. Bekah then enters the ring. The distraction leads Shaun to manage to slide down Dakon’s back. He nails him in the back as Owen nails Federico with a shot. Oskar exits the ring as Kemal turns to Bekah and Bekah drives the edge of the chair into his ribs and then lifts it up and slams it down onto his back. The crowd roars as Kemal drops and rolls out of the ring. Owen clotheslines Federico out of the ring as Dakon and Ludvig roll out themselves. Bekah then walks around the ring, chair in hand as Owen and Shaun look around, Owen touching his lip and Shaun winces in pain.

 

Sharper: “The EFN has Shaun in a bad way, but tonight, it’s Bekah Cruze who with the chair, with a weapon, equalizes things and did you see Oskar?”

 

Knots: “He knew to retreat! Kemal stayed in too long!”

 

The EFN start to regroup at the entrance way as Kemal Yilmaz rolls out of the ring in pain. He winces, holding his back as Bekah, Shaun and Owen continue to hold the ring. A “Cruze!” chant breaks out. Oskar looks up at the ring as the scene cuts away.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Seraphina Blaze vs. Diamond Steele

 

The entire arena goes dark and as it does that is when we can see a huge spotlight hitting the curtain and the silhouettes of five figures illuminate behind the curtain. We are able to see Ruby Steele playing a Bass Guitar, Jenni Taylor playing a guitar, and Emerald McAdams on a drum as they begin to cover Fall Out Boy's The Phoenix. They continue playing the song until one figure bursts through the curtains. Sapphire smirks as she is holding a Diamond Studded Megaphone in his hands. She points at the crowd and flames appear in a circle.

 

It’s at that moment that we can see flame pyro going off one after another. We can hear a loud Bird HAWKING nose and that is when Diamond Steele emerges from the floor in her Phoenix inspired gear. She smiles as she gives her sister Sapphire a wicked grin before the two of them walk towards the ring.

 

The crowd boos as loudly as they can but Sapphire holds the megaphone and puts the Siren on using it to drown out the jeers. Diamond pays no attention to them as she just continues to make her way to the ring.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Currently making her way to the ring, being accompanied by her sister Phoebe 'Sapphire' Steele, from London, England, she is The Phoenix... Kate 'Diamond' Steele!”

 

Sapphire: “AHEM!”

 

Sapphire doesn’t seem impressed as she yells into the megaphone and slides an index card into the ring, demanding that Phillips read from it. He picks it up and reluctantly redoes his introduction.

 

Phillips: “She is the MISTRESS OF THE MEGAPHONE, THE COUNTESS OF CATCH WRESTLING, THE SORCERESS OF SUBMISSIONS, THE SPARKLING SENSATION, THE SHINING STAR, THE PRINCESS OF PUNK, GOD’S GREATEST GIFT & GEMSTONE, DIAMOND STEELE!”

 

Sapphire: “Much better.”

 

As the drums in the song pick up Diamond takes the moment to slowly make her way to the ring as Sapphire stands outside. Once inside Kate opens up a pocket mirror and admires how she looks and her hair as she takes a heavy interest in herself waiting for the match to begin.

 

Knots: “Rather conceited for someone who hasn't accomplished a whole lot here in SCW, isn't she?”

 

Sharper: “Almost kind of reminds me of a certain group of wrestlers who have someone with power backing them...”

 

Knots: “Watch it, Sharper. Mr. Delatosso does pay attention to our commentary.”

 

Sharper: “I'm just stating facts Jon, but you do have one good point. It's been quite a while since we last saw Diamond Steele, and she was having some struggles. We're seeing more of this new attitude of hers, though, and for all we know, it could play a key role in turning things around for her.”

 

Knots: “Well, she's certainly up against a hot new prospect tonight, which could be good or bad depending on how you interpret it!”

 

Sultry red lights begin to flicker and pulse along the stage as the opening guitar riffs of “Body Talk” by Poison begin to sound out over the arena. When the lyrics begin, Seraphina Blaze slowly struts out onto the stage, hips swaying and a seductive smile on her lips as she poses for the delight of the fans. She takes a long moment to drag a finger up her long leg, trailing it along the curve of her hip, up around the curve of her breasts and then up along her lips before she blows the crowd a kiss, which causes a flaming heart to burst to life behind her, the flames lingering and framing her as she gives a sultry smirk. Seraphina begins to saunter down the ramp, and as the lyrics reach the chorus, every time you hear Bret Michaels emphasize certain lines that serve as the heart of the chorus, she shakes her hips in rhythm with the beat to really emphasize her curves.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, making her official SCW debut, from Miami, Florida, she is Temptation Incarnate... Seraphina Blaze!”

 

As she reaches ringside, she slowly walks up the steel steps onto the apron, twirling to lean back against the ropes for a moment with that sultry smirk before she steps through the ropes with a bit of hip swaying added in. She twirls to the center of the ring and looks back at the hard cam over her shoulder, posed to emphasize her curvy rear as she gives the kind of seductive look that almost begs those watching to try and resist her.

 

Knots: “Just what SCW needed: another Glimmer.”

 

Sharper: “I wouldn't go that far, Jon. We've seen Seraphina twice before tonight, and both instances were battle royals. She was the runner-up in that open invitational in KABLAMia last year, narrowly losing at the end to Damon Cage, and then she had a very solid showing in Taking Hold of the Flame as well. She may have a lot of similarities to the Glimmer Sisters, but she's made it clear she actually wants to compete and earn her spot, which is more than we can ever say about them.”

 

Knots: “Doesn't change the fact she's still flaunting some absurd curves. This had to be a CHBK hire the Board somehow let him get away with!”

 

Sharper: “Actually, I've been hearing several members on the Board of Directors wanted to offer her a contract themselves after Taking Hold of the Flame, and they finally went through with it after The Light In The Darkness vouched for her to have a shot.”

 

Referee Jennifer Cassidy signals for the bell as Seraphina and Diamond approach one another. Seraphina tries to lock up, but Diamond ducks underneath. Seraphina turns and Diamond throws a roundhouse kick right at her head, but Seraphina ducks it. Diamond tries to use the momentum to spin into a leg sweep, but Seraphina jumps over it. Diamond throws a spinning heel kick, but Seraphina ducks this too by dropping into a split! The fans cheer as Diamond soars over Seraphina and hits the mat, but she quickly gets back to her feet and tries to grab Seraphina while she’s still in her splits, but Seraphina rolls back and closes her legs in a bodyscissors around Diamond’s waist before pulling her into a victory roll pin!

 

1!

 

2!

 

Diamond kicks out right as Jennifer Cassidy’s hand hits the mat for the two! She quickly rolls over to the ropes as Sapphire moves over to warn the referee about keeping Seraphina back if need be, but Seraphina just kips up to her feet and starts doing a little dance routine from her days dancing for the Miami Heat, which gets the crowd on their feet!

 

Knots: “Actually wants to compete, huh? She’s really not differentiating herself from the Glimmers too much right now, Adam.”

 

Sharper: “She’s spent many years dancing professionally before becoming a wrestler, and I’ve heard that even now, she struggles with ignoring opportunities like this to get the fans on their feet.”

 

Knots: “The only entertainment these idiots need is the kind of pure wrestling Mr. Delatosso’s trying to give them!”

 

Diamond pulls herself up using the ropes, looking annoyed at the praise the fans are giving Seraphina. She tries to blindside Seraphina with another roundhouse kick while she’s still dancing, but Seraphina spins into a roundhouse kick of her own as both kicks collide! Both women stagger back for a moment, but Seraphina recovers quicker as she catches Diamond with a forearm strike to the jaw! She starts lighting up Diamond with more forearm shots and punches in a combination attack, leaving her stunned for a moment as Seraphina steps back and does a sultry little dance, but the self-distraction allows for Diamond to cut off whatever she had planned by catching her with a single knee facebreaker! Seraphina hits the mat, and as she tries to recover, Diamond pounces on her and applies a sleeper!

 

Sharper: “I did say it was a mindset Seraphina struggled with because getting a crowd on their feet is so deeply ingrained in her brain, and Diamond’s using it to turn the tables on her.”

 

Knots: “I wonder if The Light In The Darkness are watching this backstage and pondering if they made a mistake. Amelia especially should know better!”

 

Jennifer Cassidy checks in with Seraphina as Diamond keeps trying to put her to sleep, even thrashing her back and forth a bit to try and wear her out more. Sapphire tries to yell to the referee that Seraphina gives up, but Jennifer Cassidy ignores her and wants to hear it from Seraphina herself. Seraphina refuses as she tries to work her way back to her feet, using the size advantage she has to get her feet back under her before she throws an elbow into Diamond’s ribs. She buries a second elbow and Diamond releases the sleeper. Seraphina tries to stagger away to catch her breath, but Diamond quickly grabs her in a rear waistlock and goes for a german suplex, only for Seraphina to flip through it and land on her feet! The fans roar as Sapphire tries to warn Diamond, but Seraphina grabs her and actually connects with her german suplex!

 

Sharper: “Seraphina fighting out of the sleeper before flipping the script on Diamond!”

 

Knots: “OK, she’s definitely got some agility and athleticism, but it still reminds me too much of the Glimmers.”

 

Seraphina gets back to her feet and dance-steps backwards into the corner across from where Diamond is stirring, measuring her. Once Diamond’s upright, Seraphina blows her a kiss before she charges her and spins into the Fiery Kiss, but Diamond dodges it with a well-timed warning from Sapphire on the floor and catches Seraphina’s arm, using it to float over into a DDT! She rolls Seraphina over into a cover, hooking the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Seraphina kicks out! Diamond shoots an annoyed look at Jennifer Cassidy before she moves to Seraphina’s feet, rolling her over before she seizes one of her legs in an ankle lock!

 

Sharper: “Diamond countered a big shot Seraphina went for and only got a two, but this is a smart strategy on her part!”

 

Knots: “Hard to dance and show off when you’ve only got one good leg!”

 

Seraphina’s eyes go wide as Diamond tries to wrench her ankle, but she quickly maneuvers herself into a headstand and tries to use her free leg to kick Diamond off! Diamond bobs her head to avoid getting caught before she lets go of the ankle lock to block one kick and grab both legs, but Seraphina manages to roll through and take Diamond to the mat with a headscissors before crossing her legs around Diamond’s neck in the Burning Desire! Jennifer Cassidy checks in with Diamond, but she adamantly refuses and waves her arms, trying to find the ropes. Seraphina wrenches on the hold for a moment before she uncrosses her legs, but keeps Diamond’s head trapped between them as she rolls them both over and begins repeatedly slamming Diamond’s face into the mat with the Burning Passion, to the delight of the fans!

 

Knots: “I’d hardly call this classy or professional!”

 

Sharper: “It’s very effective, though, and a nasty tactic chaining that submission into this onslaught!”

 

After a few more push-up facebusters, Seraphina slowly rolls them back over and looks to cross her legs back into the Burning Desire, but Sapphire hops onto the apron and yells at her to stop. The fans boo and Seraphina looks annoyed as she lets Diamond go before standing up and moving over to Sapphire, with Jennifer Cassidy quickly getting between them while warning Sapphire to get off the apron. Sapphire dares Seraphina to take a swing and she does, but Sapphire finally leaps off the apron to avoid it. She tries to move around the ring as Seraphina moves to the corner, demanding she step up and fight if she’s going to run her mouth, but the boos of the fans get her to turn around right into a yakuza kick from Diamond!

 

Sharper: “Sapphire running interference for her sister, and Diamond’s got Seraphina in a bad way right now!”

 

Knots: “Sapphire’s being a good sister and trying to keep Diamond from being humiliated by this harlot!”

 

Diamond backs out of the corner, taking a moment to get her bearings as she’s still a bit dazed from the Burning Desire/Burning Passion combo. Seraphina staggers along the ropes as Sapphire motions for Diamond to finish this. Diamond measures Seraphina against the ropes before charging at her, trying to catch her with From The Ashes, but instead of being planted into the mat, Seraphina manages to catch herself in a headstand instead before flipping to her feet, shimmying and dancing away from Diamond! The fans roar at the impressive save as Diamond looks shocked, exchanging stunned glances with Sapphire out on the floor. Diamond quickly tries to catch Seraphina while she’s more focused on the crowd, but Seraphina turns and catches her with a knee to the gut before she hooks her, lifting her in a fisherman suplex before twisting her into the Blaze of Glory! Seraphina starts to go for the cover, but pauses and shakes her head before she moves to Diamond’s legs, stepping through and crossing them into a sharpshooter before she slowly turns Diamond over while slowly dropping into a bit of a split, using the free leg she stepped over with to trap Diamond in a neck lock while she pulls back with a unique high-angle version of the sharpshooter! The fans can’t help but cheer for the unique submission hold and the flexibility required to pull it off as Jennifer Cassidy checks in and Diamond quickly taps out! She signals for the bell and “Body Talk” by Poison hits the speakers again as Seraphina releases the hold and slowly stands up, swaying her hips to the music as she smiles while her hand is raised in victory.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, by submission… Seraphina Blaze!”

 

Knots: “What the hell did I just see?”

 

Sharper: “Seraphina with a very agile counter out of From The Ashes before she planted Diamond with the Blaze of Glory. As for that submission? I hear she calls it the Ultimate Temptation, and that might be one of the most unique and impressive submission holds I’ve ever seen!”

 

Knots: “Well it certainly lives up to its name, and I’ll admit it was very impressive. I’m still on the fence about her, but maybe she can win me over if she does more of that and less dancing.”

 

Diamond rolls out to the floor as Sapphire collects her sister and helps her up the ramp, shooting a disgusted look both at the fans around them and back at Seraphina in the ring. Seraphina continues to celebrate her debut victory, letting her body move to the music as she freely indulges in her passion for dancing now. Suddenly, “Body Talk” finds itself abruptly overtaken by “Tongue Twister,” the fans’ reaction growing a little more mixed but still cheer-heavy as Seraphina stops dancing and turns to the stage. Gia and Gina Glimmer slowly saunter out, sultry smirks on their faces as they stare down at the ring before they begin dancing their way down the ramp, a perfect mirror of one another as their sensual motions hypnotize the audience. They dance their way around Diamond and Sapphire, pausing to intentionally knock the two back and forth with some hip checks before they continue on their way, ignoring Sapphire’s angry yelling at them as they keep their focus on the ring.

 

Sharper: “Speaking of the Glimmer Sisters, they certainly seem interested in this newcomer, but I don’t think it’s for her talent in the ring!”

 

Knots: “These two were practically drooling over her last week! Maybe I’ll be proven right and we’ll see a third Glimmer confirmed when SCW could stand to do without any of their antics!”

 

Seraphina slowly moves towards the ropes on the far side from the stage, but one of the Glimmers breaks their dancing mirror routine to run the rest of the way down to the ring, sliding in headfirst and using the momentum to slip around Seraphina and cut her off like a seductive snake. Seraphina glances back to the ramp as the other Glimmer hops up onto the apron and takes her sweet time stepping through the ropes, shaking her ass as she does so. The fans buzz as Seraphina finds herself surrounded by the Glimmers while Gia and Gina slowly circle around her, eyeing her up in a way that implies some naughty thoughts are on their minds as they size her up. The Glimmer who’s moved behind Seraphina spins around to get back-to-back with her and booty bumps her, causing her to stumble forward a bit as both twins try to entice Seraphina into dancing with them while their theme song is still playing.

 

Sharper: “We know these two have no shame, but they’ve got Seraphina in a rather awkward position.”

 

Knots: “They know what she’s got and they’re going to hog valuable airtime to-”

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute! Look who’s here!”

 

As Gia and Gina keep trying to coerce Seraphina into doing some sexy, sultry dancing with them to celebrate her victory, the fans begin roaring as The Light In The Darkness suddenly slide into the ring! The music cuts as Amelia and Luz quickly step up to the Glimmers, allowing Seraphina to step behind them as The Light In The Darkness demand that the Glimmers leave while the twins just laugh, with the camera picking up on one of the Glimmers telling Amelia and Luz to “make them.”

 

Sharper: “I mentioned earlier that The Light In The Darkness vouched for Seraphina, especially Luz after the clashes they had during the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. It’s honestly hard to tell if the Glimmers have a genuine ‘interest’ in Seraphina or if they’re just trying to use her to screw with Luz and Amelia.”

 

Knots: “We know for sure there’s no love lost between both teams. The Glimmers got rightfully beaten at their own game back at Taking Hold of the Flame, and being named Tag Team of the Year for who knows what reason doesn’t erase that. Plus, they both have claims to Tag Title rematches, though I think we’d all be better off if Mr. Delatosso never allowed the Glimmers to have theirs!”

 

The fans keep buzzing as The Light In The Darkness and the Glimmer Sisters continue to verbally spar with one another. After a moment, however, Gia and Gina close the distance and literally get chest-to-chest with Luz and Amelia. The fans lose their minds at this as the Glimmers glance down at their chests pressed together, giving the couple sultry grins and even licking their lips seductively before The Light In The Darkness shove them back! A few boos slip through as Amelia and Luz once again demand the Glimmers leave, but Gia and Gina begin running their hands along their chests and motioning between the two teams while saying something about “perfectly matching sets.” Suddenly, Seraphina slips between The Light In The Darkness and catches one of the twins with the Fiery Kiss! She hits the mat as the other twin clubs Seraphina from behind, but Luz spins her around and lifts her up as she and Amelia look for the Moonlight Conjuring! Whichever Glimmer this is manages to shove Amelia away before kicking her legs enough to slip free of Luz’s grasp before bailing from the ring! She moves to collect her twin as she rolls out to the floor, holding her jaw as the twins begin to move around the ring, The Light In The Darkness watching them like hawks while Seraphina steps up onto the ropes and demands they actually step up and fight.

 

Sharper: “The Glimmers retreating for now, but there’s your answer, Jon. If Seraphina truly was ‘just another Glimmer’ then she wouldn’t have blasted one of them with that spinning elbow.”

 

Knots: “I guess time will tell, but the Glimmers might want to stop playing games with The Light In The Darkness. They already lost in a match they designed to humiliate Amelia and Luz while having every advantage possible, so what hope would they have of winning an actual, proper match?”

 

The Glimmers continue to back up the ramp, taunting the three women in the ring with claims that things between them all are only getting hotter. “Body Talk” hits the speakers again, but Seraphina is in no mood to dance anymore as Amelia and Luz check with her to make sure she’s alright while still carefully watching the Glimmers out of the corner of their eyes, only turning away completely as the Glimmers blow them kisses before they disappear through the curtain.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Jaina Lancaster glancing off camera while standing backstage, almost with a bit of disdain, before Jaina turns to the camera.

 

Jaina: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jaina Lancaster here and I’m joined by Asher Hayes, the SCW Underground Champion.”

 

The crowd roars as Asher Hayes comes into view. Hayes looks at Jaina and the two just shake a brief look at one another.

 

Jaina: “Asher…you’re the Underground Champion. Tonight, you face the SCW United States Champion. Champion vs. champion, but neither title on the line. But you know, you have an opportunity to get what you want without…well…being your usual self in the way.”

 

Hayes scoffs a bit.

 

Hayes: “Nice…well, Jaina. I plan to have a simple goal tonight. It’s called competing. And I’ve been showing everyone what I am capable of against former World Champions, against the most violent people in this company, and tonight, against the Star of Tomorrow-“

 

Jaina: “A disputed crown, by the way. He hacked those numbers.”

 

Hayes: “I judge by a different metric. But-“

 

Hayes stops as Bree Lancaster comes into view. Hayes looks at her.

 

Hayes: “What do you want?”

 

Bree: “Sounds like you’re reading a script you’re supposed to be saying in your head. Please…you should be eviscerating it all. And now, explosives, barbed wire, light tubes….seriously, Asher?”

 

Hayes: “Not your problem. You’ll never compete in the Underground Division. You’d be too scared.”

 

Bree: “You don’t know me well, Asher. Because just like you don’t seem to know yourself. You’ve always been the one to take the shortcut, just as you are now with the Underground Division. Let’s face it. You want the respect you really want. You then need to be facing the best. Not those who want to take shortcuts beating each other with weapons. But Asher…I have a thought.”

 

Hayes: “Like you give a damn about me.”

 

Bree: “I do. Because you beat Glory. And it means if you actually try, you could be an annoying part of my process to do what we all know I’m capable of. So, Asher, I offer this…I challenge you for the SCW Underground Championship. But let’s leave the weapons out of it. You and I compete. I win…I win something I’ve never held and I don’t need to hold my nose doing it…plus I beat you and keep you beneath me. But if you win…big if…then you’ll know what real respect is.”

 

Bree looks at Asher.

 

Bree: “And trust me…there are a lot of people who would die for this opportunity.”

 

Hayes looks at Bree.

 

Hayes: “Yeah, I’m sure.”

 

Hayes walks off. Bree smirks as Jaina walks over to her.

 

Jaina: “You sure about this?”

 

Bree: “I am. Maybe his life isn’t a complete waste. Just up to him now.”

 

The scene cuts away.

 

European Fiery Nation vs. Kirsten Scott & Scarlett Carsons

 

The arena lights abruptly plunge into a stark, cold darkness, and the crowd begins to buzz as the melancholic, clean guitar intro of "Tears Don't Fall" by Bullet For My Valentine echoes through the sound system. On the jumbo tron, a minimalist, aggressive new graphic replaces her old imagery: a pitch-black background violently cracks open with a spraypainted wall and the letters KS1 illuminating the arena.

As the whispered vocals drift over the speakers, a dim red spotlight cuts through the heavy fog rolling across the entry stage. A suffocating layer of tension builds as the drum roll hits its peak, and the music suddenly drops into a split second of absolute, dead silence.

“LET’S GO!”

Exactly on the word "GO!", a blinding wall of white-hot stage pyro and deafening concussion mortars blast upward from the stage floor while the arena lights erupt into a frantic, strobe-heavy crimson and white. As the smoke clears, Kirsten Scott and Hailey Brooks are revealed standing side-by-side at the top of the ramp, their wrists heavily wrapped in thick, black tactical tape.

Hailey looks intense and protective as the ultimate shield, while Kirsten embodies the apex-predator threat assessment of "The One," her head tilted at a cold, analytical angle and her eyes locked onto the ring. Without waiting or playing to the crowd, they march down the ramp together with a fast, mechanical purpose to the driving heavy metal rhythm.

Phillips: “The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Hailey Brooks, hailing from Your Worst Personal Nightmare, she is The One... Kirsten Scott!”

Hailey stays half a step behind Kirsten's flank, scanning the ringside area as they bypass the perimeter completely. Kirsten grabs the apron and aggressively pulls herself through the middle ropes, while Hailey slides under the bottom rope to instantly claim their corner.

Stepping to the center of the ring, Kirsten turns to the hard camera, slowly raising her right hand with her fist clenched tight before violently snapping it down into a low, coiled, feral fighting stance just as the song hits its driving chorus. Hailey steps onto the bottom rope, leaning over the turnbuckle to glare down the ramp, while Kirsten breaks her stance to pace the canvas like a caged animal, breathing in shallow, controlled bursts as she awaits the opening bell.

Sharper: “Kirsten Scott, the number one contender to the Adrenaline Championship. When she will get her shot is a mystery, partly because of the insane champion schedule Deanna Frost is having to endure thanks to our CEO.”

Knots: “That's the downside to being a triple champion, Sharper. Deanna’s in high demand, and she could've avoided this headache if she'd have just let Amelia retain because we know she can handle the spotlight! Not that it changes the fact that Kirsten has a title shot that rightfully belongs to Polly!”

The arena goes dark without warning.

 

A low church bell tolls through the darkness. A single white spotlight snaps on at the top of the ramp, cutting through thick blue fog that pours outward like breath in winter. The opening whisper of “SANCTIFY ME” crawls in beneath it soft, intimate, wrong Maria Brink s voice sounding less like a singer and more like a confession caught on tape.

 

The tron doesn’t play video. It plays stained glass. Cracked, fractured imagery of saints and sinners bleeding into one another. Faces half-formed. Halos broken. Wings burned black at the edges. The glass pulses faintly in time with the song s heartbeat.

 

Phillips: “And her tag team partner, hailing from The Shadows of Westminster, London, England... Scarlett Carsons!”

 

As the first heavy note hits, the fog explodes. Scarlett Carsons steps forward through it, already in motion, already claimed by the light. She doesn’t pose. She doesn’t acknowledge the crowd. Her head is bowed not in humility, but in judgment. A long black coat drapes from her shoulders like funeral cloth, the inside lined deep crimson. Bare hands. No theatrics. No wasted movement. Each step down the ramp is deliberate, measured, like she’s walking toward an altar she plans to burn down. Blue strobes flash once just enough to catch her eyes as she lifts her head. They don’t scan the crowd. They pass through it.

 

When the chorus hits, “SANCTIFY ME” the lights snap blood-red, flooding the arena as if the room itself has been baptized in something unholy. The fog behind her swirls upward now, forming a silhouette that almost looks like wings before tearing itself apart.

 

Phillips: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from the Shadows of Westminster in London, England, she is Scarlett Carsons!

 

Scarlett stops halfway down the ramp. Slowly, she opens her coat. The coat falls to the steel with a dull, final thud, left behind like a discarded skin. She rolls her shoulders once, loosening them, eyes never leaving the ring. The music drops back into that haunting refrain as she resumes her walk.

 

At ringside, she doesn’t slide in. She climbs the steps. She wipes her boots on the apron not for respect, but ritual then steps between the ropes and stands dead center, head tilted back as the final sanctify me drags out into distortion. The lights snap back to black.

 

One last white spotlight finds her and then it dies. When the arena lights return, Scarlett Carsons is already in her corner.

Sharper: “On the subject of Deanna being a triple champion, perhaps Kirsten might also have Tag Title aspirations since she and Scarlett are continuing to team together. It wouldn't be the first time she's chased the Frosts as World Tag Team Champions.”

Knots: “It didn't work out so well for them at Rise to Greatness, considering The Vision proved themselves the superior tandem. Maybe Scarlett still needs Kirsten to be her security blanket in case The Vision haven't had enough fun at her expense yet!”

Off To War by Behemoth plays over the sound system with the lights being dark as ever as Ginny in the middle, Ludvig on the left and Dakon on the right-hand sides step out onto the stage, looking at the crowd and getting heavy boos. When the lights briefly come back on, you see Dakon, Ludvig and Ginny waving their Norway, Sweden and German flags. The lights go out again as they walk down to the ring with their flags.

Phillips: “Their opponents, being accompanied to the ring by Ginny Raab… they are Dakon Theron and Ludvig Eriksson, the European Fiery Nation!”

Sharper: “The European Fiery Nation have already been active tonight, going after the Cruzes-”

Knots: “They're just doing their jobs helping Mr. Delatosso as added security! Finally ridding SCW of our Cruze problem once and for all will certainly help show him that they're worth the investment!”

Sharper: “Mr. Delatosso had Dean Black deliver a clear message to them last week: turn things around, or else. That seems to have lit a fire under them, no pun intended, because we've seen them get more aggressive- kind of like this!”

As the European Fiery Nation reach ringside, instead of entering the ring to pose together as they normally do, Dakon and Ludvig instead hand Ginny their flags so she can return to the back before they slide into the ring and immediately rush Kirsten and Scarlett! The fans roar as both teams begin brawling in the middle of the ring while referee Steve Hollinsworth tries to get some semblance of order. Dakon and Kirsten trade european uppercuts while Ludvig and Scarlett trade punches and forearm shots. One of Ludvig's punches is deflected as Scarlett kicks his hand before she catches him on the chin with a thrust kick! Ludvig rolls out to the floor as Scarlett steps out onto the apron and measures him before throwing herself off the apron in a cannonball-style senton that takes him down! Seeing that he's finally got two competitors left in the ring to officially get started, Hollinsworth signals for the bell to properly begin this match just as Dakon ducks a clothesline attempt from Kirsten and takes her over with a german suplex!

Sharper: “A chaotic start to this tag team match, but it definitely lines up with the growing aggression from the European Fiery Nation ever since Delatosso gave them that ultimatum.”

Knots: “They've got a good thing being in our boss's good graces, and I'm sure the last thing they want is to lose it because they can't produce results! Or worse, find themselves in the unemployment line!”

Dakon mounts Kirsten and begins raining down shot after shot into her forehead as the cheers from the fans about the chaotic brawl that kicked things off slowly give way to boos for who seemingly came out on top of it. Dakon scoffs at them as he pulls Kirsten to her feet and lifts her up before dropping her in a shoulder breaker! He goes for a quick cover.

1!

2!

Kirsten kicks out right at the count of two! Dakon looks unfazed, though, as he pulls Kirsten back to her feet and irish whips her into the ropes. Kirsten hooks her arms around the top rope to stop herself, and when Dakon rushes in, she catches him with a boot to the face! Dakon staggers back and Kirsten looks over to see that Scarlett has now climbed up into position in their corner. She reaches out and Scarlett tags her as the two converse before Scarlett climbs to the top turnbuckle. As Dakon gets his bearings, he turns just in time for Kirsten to throw Scarlett off the top rope and into a rocket launcher as she lands across Dakon’s chest!

Sharper: “First tag of the match now that things have settled down, and Kirsten and Scarlett manage to come out of the initial chaos with the upper hand.”

Knots: “And some blatant thievery! Taking a page out of the playbook of a much better tag team!”

Kirsten steps out onto the apron as Scarlett grabs Dakon’s leg and turns him over into a single leg crab. Hollinsworth checks in with him, but Dakon refuses to submit, so Scarlett starts driving some knee strikes into his ribs and back! Dakon still refuses to submit, and Scarlett eventually releases the single leg crab. Kadon rolls over onto his back as Scarlett measures him before running to the ropes, looking for a springboard moonsault, but as soon as she jumps onto the middle rope, Ludvig suddenly grabs her feet and trips her up, causing her to fall back and hit the mat! He climbs up onto the apron as Hollinsworth warns him, but Ludvig ignores him as he slingshots himself into an elbow drop across her chest!

Sharper: “More of that aggression on display as Ludvig showing blatant disregard to tag team rules-”

Knots: “Dakon was in trouble, Sharper! How many teams bend those rules to save their partner?”

Hollinsworth demands that Ludvig return to his team’s corner, and Ludvig scoffs but ultimately complies. He doesn’t stay on the apron for long, though, as Dakon pulls himself back to his feet and stomps on Scarlett a few times before officially tagging Ludvig into the match. Dakon pulls Scarlett’s head between his legs before lifting her up for a powerbomb, and Ludvig leaps up to catch her in a double knee backbreaker on the way down! Ludvig rolls her over and makes the cover, hooking the leg, while Dakon runs over and blasts Kirsten with a forearm to keep her from breaking it up.

1!

2!

Scarlett gets a shoulder up! Ludvig just glares at the referee while Dakon starts to return to his corner, but turns around as Kirsten slides into the ring only for Steve Hollinsworth to cut her off! While he’s busy trying to maintain order, behind his back, the EFN take the opportunity to double-team Scarlett further as Dakon lifts Scarlett onto his shoulders again and Ludvig assists him in the powerbomb this time! By the time Kirsten has reluctantly stepped back out onto the apron, Hollinsworth turns to find Dakon already back on the apron as well while Ludvig climbs to the top turnbuckle in their team’s corner before leaping off with a moonsault that crashes down across Scarlett’s chest! He goes for the cover, getting a deep hook on the leg this time.

1!

2!

Kirsten Scott runs in and stomps on Ludvig to break up the pin before blasting Dakon with a forearm that knocks him off the apron!

Sharper: “Kirsten starting to get agitated by the EFN and they’re using it against her to further punish Scarlett.”

Knots: “Scarlett’s not innocent when it comes to Mr. Delatosso’s wrath, for the record. She was allies with Dexter Grant for a period of time, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was still some sort of sleeper agent for his stupid cause!”

Kirsten starts to head back to her corner at the referee’s insistence, but Ludvig refuses to let her get away so easily as he spins her around and stuns her with a european uppercut! Hollinsworth warns Ludvig to let Kirsten return to her corner, but Ludvig ignores him as he tries to deliver a cutter to Kirsten, but she shoves him off right into a spin kick to the gut from Scarlett! As Kirsten is finally allowed to return to her team’s corner, Scarlett takes a moment to recover before she runs at Ludvig, only for him to try and clothesline her. She ducks it before doing a handspring off the ropes into a lariat that takes Ludvig down!

Sharper: “The EFN maybe getting a little too aggressive now as Ludvig refusing to let Scott return to the apron just cost their team valuable momentum!”

Knots: “A situation that could’ve been avoided had Kirsten just stayed on the apron in the first place!”

Sharper: “Do I need to bring up your earlier remark about bending tag team rules to save one’s partner?”

Scarlett starts crawling towards her team’s corner, the fans cheering her on as Kirsten reaches out for the tag. Dakon slides into the ring and grabs Scarlett’s ankle, dragging her closer to the EFN corner before Scarlett turns around and kicks him off. Dakon hits the mat and rolls onto the apron, but he quickly pulls himself back up and grabs the tag rope just in time for Ludvig to make it over and legally tag him in. Scarlett keeps trying to move to tag Kirsten in, but Dakon grabs her and tries to scoop her up for a powerslam, but Scarlett kicks her legs and slides down his back before shoving him forward! Dakon turns around, making sure to keep himself between Scarlett and Kirsten, but when Scarlett runs at him, she leaps up and catches him with the GODMODE!

Knots: “Come on, you two! Your jobs could be at stake here if you keep letting Mr. Delatosso down!”

Sharper: “Scarlett managing to fight out of trouble, and now here comes The One!”

Scarlett lunges and tags in Kirsten Scott, to the roar of the fans! Kirsten enters the ring as Dakon starts to sit up, and she runs off the ropes behind him before blasting him with a brutal knee strike to the back of the skull! She grabs him by the hair and pulls him to his feet before she hooks him and takes him over with a suplex. Kirsten pops her hips to roll them back to their feet before she connects with a second suplex! Another hip pop rolls them both back upright again as Kirsten lifts Dakon and this time plants him with a falcon arrow to finish the One Off! She reaches forward and hooks his leg, leaning back to get as much leverage out of this position for a pin as she can.

1!

2!

Kirsten leaning back for leverage proves to be her undoing as Ludvig suddenly comes flying off the top rope with a frog splash right across her chest that breaks up the pin!

Sharper: “Ludvig saving the match for the EFN, but Kirsten Scott is a house of fire right now!”

Knots: “Doesn’t change the fact that she’s still an ungrateful thief who needs to step aside and let the New Order reign supreme!”

Ludvig stomps away at Kirsten before he helps Dakon back to his feet. The two of them converse for a moment before they pull Kirsten back to her feet, ignoring the referee’s warnings about Ludvig needing to leave the ring. Ludvig whips Kirsten into the ropes as they look for the European United Drop, but Kirsten hooks her arms around the top rope to stop herself! Ludvig moves to try and grab her, but she ducks down and backdrops him over the top rope and out to the floor! She scoffs at him before she turns right into a boot to the gut before Dakon drops her with a DDT! As he pulls himself back up, we see Ludvig trying to slide back into the ring with a steel chair he retrieved from under the ring, but Hollinsworth stops him from entering and demands he ditch the chair. While he’s distracted, Dakon motions that he’s ending this as he pulls Kirsten up into position for the Blade Driver, but Kirsten manages to slip her head free and shoves him towards the ropes, where Scarlett pulls herself up out on the floor and spits the Dirty Pretty right into his eyes!

Knots: “Hey, that’s illegal! Scarlett just spat that black gunk in Dakon’s eyes! Disqualify her!”

Sharper: “The referee never saw it, Jon! Hollinsworth’s trying to do his job and keep Ludvig from making this into a hardcore match!

Dakon staggers around, trying to clear his vision, and he ends up walking right into the System Failure from Kirsten! Scarlett slides into the ring and runs across to climb the turnbuckles before she leaps off and ends up driving Ludvig’s chair right into his chest with the Fallen Angel! Hollinsworth looks stunned for a moment before he turns around just in time to see Kirsten making the cover on Dakon, hooking the leg as he slides into position.

1!

2!

3!

Hollinsworth calls for the bell as "Tears Don't Fall" by Bullet For My Valentine hits the speakers again. Kirsten rises as Scarlett crawls back into the ring, with Hollinsworth moving to stand between them as he raises their arms in victory.

Phillips: “Here are your winners… the team of Scarlett Carsons and Kirsten Scott!”

Knots: “The EFN were robbed! Scarlett cheated! Mr. Delatosso, please don’t hold this screwjob against them!”

Sharper: “Kirsten and Scarlett rebounding from their loss at Rise To Greatness and getting on the board as a team, and Kirsten building momentum for whenever she gets her Adrenaline Title shot against Deanna.”

Kirsten and Scarlett converse a little bit before Kirsten nods and rolls out of the ring, meeting up with Hailey as the two of them begin to head to the back while Scarlett is left to stand tall over Dakon, as if using the sight as a warning to anybody who thinks they can mess with the two of them. As Kirsten and Hailey start to head up the ramp, though, the fans begin booing as Polly Playtime can be seen heading down to meet them halfway, her bodyguards not too far behind her.

Sharper: “Polly Playtime on her way out now, and I thought her guards got fired?”

Knots: “It was only Stephen after making a noble sacrifice at Rise To Greatness. Gavin bless his soul, but Mr. Delatosso’s got the payroll to replace them when necessary!”

Kirsten and Hailey stop as Polly begins accosting Kirsten, and what the camera’s able to pick up over the boos of the fans makes it clear she’s insisting Kirsten only has an Adrenaline Title shot because she was injured and is practically demanding that Kirsten “do the right thing” and relinquish it to her. Kirsten just scoffs as she and Polly keep jawing with each other, and when Hailey steps up to back up Kirsten, Polly steps back and her guards quickly form a human wall to keep the two separated. Scarlett sees this from the ring and climbs out now to go back up Kirsten and Hailey. As Kirsten and Polly keep arguing, the guards part enough for Polly to step forward and shove Kirsten back! The fans let out a collective “OOOHHH!” as Kirsten snaps, she and Hailey attempting to get to Polly only for her guards to restrain them, not budging even when they start literally fighting them off. Polly just scoffs at Kirsten and turns to leave.

Sharper: “Polly mouthing off to Kirsten over the Adrenaline Title shot as things continue to escalate, but she’s seriously going to hide behind her guards only to shove Kirsten and then leave?”

Knots: “Kirsten isn’t worth Polly’s time, Adam! She’s the true Star of Tomorrow and the rightful number one contender to the Adrenaline Title! She’s far too important and if Kirsten’s smart, she’ll realize that and give up the opportunity to our next Adrenaline Champion!”

Kirsten and Hailey, as well as Scarlett once she catches up, manage to dispatch of Polly’s guards, but by the time they do, Polly has already disappeared back through the curtain. Hailey wants to give chase, but Kirsten tells her to drop it, claiming it’s not worth it and Polly’s not getting the title shot she rightfully earned.

 

 

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Polly Playtime walking in the backstage area, joined by her guards, as we see Jaina Lancaster running over to her. Polly looks at her as Jaina introduces herself.

 

Jaina: “Polly! Can I get a word? I wanted to give you the opportunity to make clear what you’re doing, so no one can question what you’re doing. Especially certain COOs.”

 

Polly smirks.

 

Polly: “Just reminding Kirsten Scott that she’s not next in line. I am. She beat Dawn Lohan. Dawn Lohan who should’ve never have been put ahead of me. Simple as that. She can get into the real line, not the consolation line.”

 

Polly pauses before then turning to Jaina again.

 

Polly: “And since I’m clarifying things…Welcome back Waylon. There are a few people I hope you get your hands on and this time finish the job!”

 

Jaina: “Look out!”

 

Jaina jukes out of the way as we see Anansi Rivers running over and jumping up and over the guards, managing to get to Polly, knocking her back. The guards go down and Anansi falls on top of Polly. Chris Dumont then runs in and grabs the guard that attacked him, Stephen, and turns and runs him into the wall. Quincy goes over and pulls Anansi up as Polly scrambles up to her feet. Chris turns to her and goes to go after Polly, but Polly pushes away as officials run into the scene, getting between Polly and Anansi and Chris. Polly slides back and looks up. She then gets up as Chris just glares at her. Anansi tries to get at her, but she’s held back. Stephen staggers over as Quincy keeps Polly back.

 

Dumont: “What’s wrong Polly? Can’t deal with the people who you pushed away? Who you’ve gone after? Oh yeah…you’re sorry! You’re not even close to it! You’ll regret it all, Polly! ALL OF IT!”

 

The crowd roars as the scene cuts away.

 

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

LEXY CHAPEL PRESENTS

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

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
DARK FANTASY

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

 

Sharper: “Syren joining us out here. Lexy Chapel in her corner. Notably, Ravyn Taylor again not with her at ringside. She is here again.”

 

Knots: “Something off there. We saw her with CHBK. So if you thought there was some connection-“

 

Sharper: “Stop. She was worried about Syren and CHBK was trying to regain order after Waylon Creek stunned us all attacking Syren and Lexy Chapel. Chapel seems to be okay now, but you have to believe she’s sore, and Syren…in the Canary.”

 

Knots: “Maybe looks like the skeleton’s in CHBK’s closet have come out to get him.”

Syren leaps over the top rope. She foregoes her entrance and goes over to the corner, demanding a microphone. Phillips hands her one and Lexy goes over to interject, but Syren stops her. Syren turns back to the middle of the ring and looks around. The music fades out as a “Syren!” chant begins to echo throughout the arnea.

 

Syren: “Well Waylon Creek…”

 

The crowd roars. Syren looks right at the camera.

 

Syren: “I get past Bree Lancaster and Bree wants a round two, but I can’t help but wondering if there was a bit more to this all when she was happy to leave. Happy to walk off when you were attacking me. Attacking Lexy.”

 

Syren walks around the ring.

 

Syren: “Last we saw you, you declared war on everything. And now…you seem to be focused just on me…or at least, that’s part of it. Outside of the fact that CHBK was my mentor and there’s respect there, there’s nothing else.”

 

Lexy grabs the microphone.

 

Lexy: “Trust me! I know. I barely trust him and he’s my dad!”

 

The crowd roars as Syren nods and shrugs.

 

Syren: “She’s not lying there. But I’m also standing here because I know damn well you’re not just back to go after me. That’s just too convenient of a story. That’s never just been what you and the Fall of Man stood for. You had goals. You had ideas. You have plans for revolution and for you to come back for you to assault me just to run back the idea that someone else is going to try and take me out. Well, Bree tried and failed, and so many others. And I have plenty left in the tank! See, Waylon, I’m not here to run from you. You may be double, no triple my size, but I don’t care. I’ve fought them all and I’m not here to just roll over and take it. I’ve worked too hard for everything I’ve earned for you to come back and just threaten me, attack me, once and then be afraid.”

 

Syren looks at the camera.

 

Syren: “So Waylon, I’d love to know what you’re thinking…or should I say William Heaven. Even though it’s been nearly a year since we last saw you, and by the way, when it was my now good friend Meghan who last caused you to really trip and fall, and if you don’t think I haven’t already been in touch with her, whether she’s on the road or not, on the shelf or not, you’ve got another thing coming!”

 

Syren looks at the camera.

 

Syren: “So Waylon…William…am I just the first as you try to salvage your failed revolution a year ago? Or are you really that desperate that you’re hoping that you can jump back to where you think you should’ve been by going after a big fish!”

 

Then, on the big screen, we see William Heaven standing outside of the arena. The crowd boos upon seeing him.

 

Heaven: “Syren! Over here! Syren!”

 

Syren turns to the big screen as we see Heaven smiles.

 

Heaven: “Sorry to have to do it this way. We’d prefer to be inside the building, but it seems like your…mentor you said…he has a problem with us here and well, we’re not allowed it. Although, that will only be for this week because the hypocrisy is such that even the SCW Board of Directors cannot let that stand and moreover…there’s good business to be made.”

 

Syren: “I’m not here to do business but I am here to compete.”

 

Heaven: “Oh you are…that’s why you hold onto your spot. Sure, the titles and accolades are the surface-level items you value, but your life is a product of that all. Same for Waylon and I. And Waylon should have been World Champion last year and he’s been derailed.”

 

Syren: “Then he can earn his way back up if he’s good enough. But if need the reminder that he’s got work to do, I’m not hard to find. You don’t need to jump me from behind.”

 

Heaven smiles as the camera pans out to see that Heaven is standing next to Syren’s tour bus. Waylon Creek can be seen squatted down next to it, examining it before getting up. Lexy is noticeably annoyed by this.

 

Heaven: “Well, in this case, it certainly didn’t hurt. Especially as we could not have just marched to the ring. But that’s where I offer you this one moment of amnesty. We can’t enter the arena and in fact, I expect we’ll be removed from the parking lots too. SCW controls them after all. But that means you have one week. In one week, we are back in and Waylon can be unleashed without needing to rely on knowing security layouts. And using all of the skills to his disposal. He can just hunt anyone we feel needs to be made an example of. And Syren, you are on that list. If you take some time away and accept the inevitability you only delayed when facing Bree, you will be spared…for now. But if you appear next week, there will be a target painted on your back and Waylon is coming for it.”

 

The crowd boos as Waylon turns to the camera. Lexy turns to Syren. Syren doesn’t even hesitate.

 

Syren: “Then I’ll meet you at the front doors of the arena!”

 

Heaven shakes his head.

 

Heaven: “Your funeral.”

 

Heaven turns to Waylon and motions to him. Creek and Heaven walk off screen as Syren looks at the big screen. “Groupie” starts to play as the crowd looks on. Lexy turns to Syren, saying something to her.

 

Sharper: “A chilling threat…”

 

Knots: “Syren…do you remember what he did last week? He’s going to do it again. Syren…you could’ve just gone away and saved what’s left. Just arrogance.”

 

Sharper: “But I don’t like the framing…and the mention of the Board of Directors. Something else isn’t right here.”

 

Syren continues to look at the stage as the scene cuts away.

 

Asher Hayes is shown walking down the hallway, Underground Championship around his waist. He makes his way to an open area.

 

???: “Hey!”

 

Asher stops and turns as we see David Striker walking up to him. The crowd cheers seeing him.

 

Hayes: “What do you want? Going to demand another shot-“

 

Striker: “No, just shut up for a moment and listen.”

 

Striker sighs.

 

Striker: “I was wrong about you. You brought it at Rise to Greatness. You…brought whatever sick and twisted ideas you could and you then not only fought, but you took it too. I don’t know if it means anything, but I do respect you. And you hold that title…and while it hurts, oh God it hurts, that I’m not yet holding it….don’t piss on it.”

 

Striker looks at Hayes. Hayes just nods.

 

Hayes: “Thanks.”

 

Hayes turns and heads down the hallway.

 

Sharper: “Hayes faces Dexter Grant, next!”

 

The scene fades out.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Breakdown returns as we see Syren walking outside by her bus. Lexy Chapel runs over to the bus and looks under it. She starts to scour, trying to see if something is there.

 

Chapel: “Had to leave something. A tracker…or a bomb…or…”

 

Syren: “He’s not going to blow us up.”

 

Chapel: “Oh yeah! Did you see the Underground Championship match at Rise to Greatness?!”

 

Syren: “Creek likes to feel the breath leaving you…”

 

Chapel stops and turns to Syren.

 

Chapel: “Uh…so…uh…”

 

Syren: “I said it. I’m not backing down. Been attacked before. Been taken down before. And I’ve gotten through it, on top, every time.”

 

Chapel: “Well…it looks clean. I’ll check the other side.”

 

Syren turns and Lexy runs around the bus. We then see Ravyn Taylor walking over to the bus, again, looking visibly pregnant.

 

Syren: “Look-“

 

Ravyn: “I’m going to be here next week.”

 

Syren: “I know. Just you’re not talking me out of this.”

 

Ravyn: “I don’t plan to. But I don’t think he’s doing this alone.”

 

Syren: “I know.”

 

Chapel: “Wait! I found….ew….just gum. The son of a bitch left gum under the wheel well!”

 

Syren and Ravyn shake their head as Breakdown cuts back to the ring.

 

Asher Hayes vs. Dexter Grant

 

The opening riff to "Song for the Dead" by Queens of the Stone Age kicks in. At the 37 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the PA system, and Asher appears on the stage, wearing a long leather jacket, his face full of focus. He bows down for a few moments before standing up straight, throwing both fists in the air, before making his way towards the ring, wearing the SCW Underground Championship.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from Chicago, Illinois, he is the SCW Underground Champion, Asher Hayes!”
 
“It's late enough to go driving
And see what's mine
Life's the study of dying
How to do it right"

He makes his way down the ramp as the reaction of the crowd rains down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, slinging the jacket off his shoulders, simply looking at the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side.
 
“You're a holy roller
If you bettin' to lose
If you're hanging around
I'm holding the noose"
 
He stands, once again, on the top rope. His expression remains focused as he looks toward the ceiling, before dropping down, removing his jacket and handing his belongings to the ref.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Come a little bit closer
And get untied
In a hearse rolling over
Just a track in the line
Fuck it..."

Asher then leans into the corner, waiting for the match to begin.

 

Sharper: “Asher Hayes about to face off against US Champion. Underground vs. US Champions here.”

 

Knots: “I know who I’m betting on, And then we can see a potential classic – Hayes against Lancaster. Get rid of the Underground Title. Has some real competition!”

 

“TokSik” by Starset hits as the lights in the arena immediately go out, a series of green spotlights converging onto the stage where fog has begun to consume it. The big screen shows a human eye opening, and reflecting in it is a montage of people glued to their phones and computers, either consuming or producing social media garbage as they all look sickly while doing so. “The Digital Detoxer” Dexter Grant marches out through the fog, stopping at the edge of the stage and staring out at the fans with disgust. A few cheers can be heard, but they're easily drowned out by all the boos raining down upon him. He turns his head to his right just in time to see two people emerge from behind him: his faithful flunky Wendell marching out while proudly holding up a protest sign that has the circle-backslash symbol with a wi-fi symbol behind the backslash and the words “DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT” written within the circle, and Sabrina Kincaid strolling out to stand beside him and take his hand. Dexter smiles at Sabrina and then nods to Wendell in approval before the trio start heading down to the ring, Dexter's disgusted look returning at the sound of all the people around him who just refuse to listen to his message. He jumps up onto the apron and aggressively steps through the ropes, marching to the center of the ring and turning his back to the hard cam as he points his thumb to the same “DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT” logo of his on the back of his vest. Wendell crawls into the ring and stands beside Dexter, proudly holding up his sign before looking legitimately confused as to why they're being booed, while Sabrina steps into the ring as well and motions to the logo on the back of Dexter's vest before exchanging a kiss with him. The lights return to normal as Dexter asks for the microphone.

 

Knots: “Just kill the mic now!”

 

Grant then takes the microphone and looks around.

 

Grant: “And the churn continues…the lies, the manipulation, the deceit, all in hopes for an easy answer. Do not listen to the lies put out for a convenient narrative that no doubt will be backed by a push on social media…look deeper. I have the proof. Delatosso has lies.”

 

Grant then turns to Asher.

 

Grant: “While you…you have a choice. You want respect. Then do what you claim to stand for…compete. You hold that title; I may not endorse it, but others do. And you thrive. And right now, it is a thorn in the side of those who hope to silence. Stand on your own as you claim you want to do. Don’t become a sheep just because you want some fleeting glory, Asher…Don’t give them…”

 

Grant points to the back.

 

Grant: “Or those who don’t matter the satisfaction!”

 

Grant brings the microphone down and looks at Asher who steps up to him.

 

Hayes: “You ready now?”

 

Grant looks at Hayes, almost surprised he let him finish. He then nods and hands off the microphone to Phillips. Phillips exits the ring as the bell sounds.

 

Sharper: “Asher Hayes giving Grant the platform. Grant actually saying something surprisingly positive about an opponent.”

 

Knots: “Clear manipulation. This is a man that is trying to just mess with people. Asher…you have a clear path to immortality! To getting that respect you want! Just follow through.”

 

Hayes and Grant circle the ring. They lock up. Hayes quickly ducks down into an arm wrench. Grant reaches up and then ducks under and into a side headlock. Hayes pulls him to the ropes and fires him off. Grant hits the opposite side and the two collide in the middle of the ring, neither giving an inch. Grant turns and runs into the ropes and Hayes stands his ground again as Grant runs at him. Hayes then grabs him and spins him into the corner. Grant stops himself and hits a back elbow. Hayes staggers back and Grant goes for the Clickbait, but Hayes moves out of the way. Grant spins through. He then turns and Hayes goes for the Dust to Dust, but Grant ducks and rolls out of the way. The two look at one another as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “And both going for quick ends. Clickbait from Grant; Dust to Dust from Hayes. Neither connect.”

 

Knots: “Just seeing how fast the other is.”

 

Hayes and Grant get up again and lock up. Hayes then knees Grant in the ribs and nails him with a hard right. Grant falls to the ropes. Hayes whips him across the ring. Grant bounces off and Hayes hits a back elbow. He goes for the pin.

Sharper: “So far, very evenly matched. Hayes a former World Champion and Grant is the rightful Star of Tomorrow.”

 

Knots: “Stop with your lies. He hacked that. He made sure of it to get people to think his little crusade was popular. There’s an investigation and everything!”

 

Hayes turns and Grant grabs him and pulls him up and moves him into the corner chest first. Grant forearms Hayes in the lower back once and then again. The referee warns Grant. Grant spins Hayes around and hits another back elbow. He then whips Hayes across the ring. Grant runs after and Hayes jumps up and floats over. He steps back. Grant stops at the corner and runs out at Hayes and Hayes hits an arm drag. Grant rolls through and pops up and Hayes kicks him in the ribs and then backs up and hits a knee lift. Grant falls back.

Hayes rolls over and Grant grabs him in a double wrist clutch and positions him before stomping him over and over and over again in the chest.

 

Sharper: “Grant gets Asher down. Hard shots. Hard stomps to the chest.”

 

Knots: “Get him free! Come on! This can’t be okay!”

 

Grant gets a few more shots in before letting him go. He then dives for the pin.

Grant pops up and staggers around. Hayes gets up and looks at him and then runs at him and nails him with a big boot. Grant hits the mat.

Hayes breaks it and then flips Grant forward. Grant rolls through and Hayes falls back to the ropes, leaning back and rocking back into the ring with a pendulum between the ropes and nailing Grant with a pendulum lariat. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “And a vicious clothesline with the added momentum. Caught Grant under the jaw.”

 

Knots: “Too bad it didn’t catch him in the teeth!”

 

Grant rolls over and crawls to the ropes. Hayes then turns and crawls after him. He then grabs Grant and pulls him up. Grant however then hits the Unwanted Notification, but doesn’t q          uite get all of it. Hayes falls back to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Grant falls to his knees for a moment before getting un and running across, but Hayes sidesteps him. Grant spins through to the apron. Hayes then staggers forward before running into the ropes. He bounces off and runs at Grant and jumps up, and hits a crossbody, both men going off the apron to the mats. The crowd ohs. Hayes rolls through and to his back.

(8) They trade blows as the crowd roars on the floor. (9) They continue to trade blows, right after right before the officials calls for the bell. (10) The bell sounds and Grant stops and Hayes holds back and looks over. The crowd boos as both look around.

 

Phillips: “As a result of a double countout, this match is a draw!”

 

Sharper: “Both Asher and Dexter on the floor and just kept going at one another. But wouldn’t give up.”

 

Knots; “Lost track of the count. Neither get the win. Maybe the best option!”

 

Sharper: “And neither Hayes nor Grant are happy about that, to say the least.”

 

Grant looks around as Hayes turns and sighs. The crowd continues to boo as we cut to the announce position.

 

Sharper: “Welcome to ringside. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and folks, we told you that Deanna Frost, sent all over the continent and even the world with this new schedule Frank Delatosso came up with. A few nights ago, she was in Montreal for a show, then Mexico City, and then back. And in Montreal, she competed at a special event at Gavin Taylor’s Club Ga-Blam…and well, this happened.”

 

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

We see footage, clearly from a cell phone, showing Deanna Frost fighting someone known as the Anti-ANTIGA. Deanna ducks a clothesline and then hits a Burnout. The crowd boos as Deanna goes for the pin. She covers them.

Deanna rolls over. The crowd boos loudly as Deanna then gets up to her feet. She then looks around. We then hear the voice of “Britney,” one of Gavin’s handlers.

 

Britney: “Fans. We’re so sorry about this. We didn’t think we’d see rank cheating of this course. We encourage you all to let her know how you feel!”

 

Deanna looks up and rolls her eyes as the boos continue before we then see a plastic cup fly. Deanna ducks and then another flies at her. She swats it down. She then turns and goes to exit the ring to protect herself, but she’s obstructed by an angry crew member and we see the Anti-ANTIGA grab her and hit a release German suplex, dropping her on her left arm. Deanna rolls over, holding her arm and instinctively rolls to the floor. We then see a couple of guards run over to protect Deanna. They notably have SCW logos on their gear. The crowd boos some more. Deanna can be seen wincing and she’s then pulled out and then whisked to the back. The Anti-ANTIGA remains down, almost as if he attacked her with his last bit of energy. Deanna is sent to the back. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

Knots: “Didn’t know she was that cowardly!”

 

Sharper: “She did what she was contracted to do. Then in that environment, so-called fans threw items in the ring, prevented her from getting to safety and you saw her land on her shoulder from that German suplex.”

 

Knots: “He probably was reacting. Deanna may have attacked a fan!”

 

Sharper: “Are you serious?! The footage is clear. And SCW’s security who was there to ensure she is safe took their time. And rumours are that Deanna’s arm is not at one hundred percent. Perhaps that’s the aim. Of course, Gavin Taylor wasn’t present despite claiming he would be.”

 

We then cut to the locker room of Deanna Frost and Selena Frost. Deanna winces as she stretches out her arm. We notice it taped up and she turns to Selena.

 

Selena: “You sure about this?”

 

Deanna: “Not giving anyone the satisfaction. Not him. Not now.”

 

Selena: “Fine…but let me do the heavy lifting.”

 

Deanna looks at Selena.

 

Selena: “Not looking for the glory. But…rumours are that Hollywood are with Gavin now too. Don’t risk it if you don’t have to.”

 

Deanna nods.

 

Deanna: “Okay…Let’s go.”

 

Selena nods. The two then walk off as the scene fades out.

Hollywood vs. House of Frost

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a twenty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship!”

 

The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen. A rush of paparazzi rush down either side of the ramp as a red carpet is rolled out. The sounds of Michael Jackson’s “Hollywood Tonight” begins to play as Chris and Ryan Hollywood come out from the back, prompting a shamelessly stolen trope of flashes from the cameras as they stand atop the ramp. The camera spins around, revealing Mr. Black to be one of the photographers, while we also see a photographer from Vex News taking pictures. They respond to pose instructions from the photographers as they move towards the ring.

 

Phillips: “First, the challengers, from Hollywood, California, they are the team of Ryan and Chris, they are Hollywood!”

 

Once in the ring, they pose in the middle of the ring, back to back, as their music fades.

 

Sharper: “Hollywood looking to jump start their careers back to the last time we saw them really making some waves, and that was when they managed to defeat Selena Frost when she last was Tag Champion, with Xander Valentine.”

 

Knots: “Can history repeat! Or is Selena going to let her ego get the best of her again! They’re ready!”

 

Sharper: “And what worries me is the reports that Hollywood has been seen with Gavin Taylor’s people. This could be so much more.”

 

Knots: “The question is what condition Deanna is in. Welcome to being a champion. Champions back in the day were tough. Tougher than all others!”

 

“BELIEVE IT!”

The sound of two women shouting the familiar phrase causes the fans to cheer loudly as “Ignite” by Alan Walker and K-391 plays throughout the arena as ‘snow’ falls along the LED screens. From out the back walks Selena and Deanna Frost. Deanna holds her three titles as Selena holds her World Tag Team Championship. As Selena stands on the center part of the ramp, she watches as Deanna runs to the far left, the redhead screaming her excitement to the fans before running to the far right to do the same, a stream of bright red and orange ‘leaves’ following the redhead on the LED screens below and behind them.

As Deanna reaches Selena, the Snow Queen turns to her side, raising her arm towards the ring and her back arm towards the sky. With a smile, Deanna stands back to back with Selena, raising and lowering her own arm to match Selena’s towards the ring, the ‘leaves’ circling around them. At the same time, the Frost wives each stomp their front foot, sending a ‘crack’ along the ‘ice’ to race down the ramp, the ‘leaves’ following it to circle around the ring LED screens.

Phillips: “Making their way to the ring, from Manhattan, New York, they are the SCW World Tag Team Champions. They are ‘The Snow Queen’, Selena Frost and the SCW Adrenaline and World Champion, Deanna Frost. Fans, they are – The House of Frost!”

Making their way down the ramp, their steps leaving ‘footprints’ in the ‘snow’, Deanna rushes ahead to high-five members of the SCW Universe. Reaching the ring first, Deanna slides in and jumps to the ropes, leaning over them with her arm raised. She repeats this on the other side of the ring as Selena makes her way up the stairs and into the ring. 

Reaching the center, Selena lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more as Deanna drops to her knees and spins around to stop right in front of Selena, facing the audience as Selena does and posing with her arms outstretched and a smile on her face as the ‘leaves’ also encircle the two women over the snowflake. With a slam of her foot, Selena causes the snowflake at their feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice and ‘leaves’ streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue and red sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. Selena helps Deanna to her feet as the crowd looks on. Chris and Ryan Hollywood look across the ring. Deanna hands off her Tag title, as does Selena, before she turns back and places her other titles under her corner, but this leads Chris and Ryan to run across the ring. Ryan runs over and nails Selena in the side of the head. Selena falls through the ropes to the floor as Deanna turns and Chris hits a running forearm shot to the jaw. He nails him again and again and Ryan moves over and starts to kick at her as the crowd boos. The bell sounds.

 

Sharper: “And Hollywood all over the champions! Knocking Selena out of the ring and going after Deanna!”

 

Knots: “They’re hammering away. No real rhyme or reason, but that’s going to lead to a few bumps and bruises to say the least!”

 

Ryan and Chris drag Deanna out and then they back up and drill her with a double clothesline. Chris goes for the pin.

Selena enters and Ryan grabs her and clubs her in the back once and then again and again. Selena rolls out of the ring. Ryan kicks at the ropes. Chris gets up and yells at her for good measure.

Deanna kicks out. She rolls over, moving to the ropes. She shakes out her arm as Ryan grabs her and pulls her up and wrenches it. He then nails her with a hard right. Chris is forced out of the ring and Ryan runs Deanna across to the Hollywood corner. Ryan then tags in Chris. Chris enters and then both kick at Deanna over and over. They go to whip her across the ring, but then realize Selena is there and pulls her back. She stops herself by lifting her foot to the middle turnbuckle and then hits a back elbow to the jaw of Chris and nails Ryan with a hard right. She turns to Chris and Chris rakes her eyes.

 

Sharper: “Deanna fighting for her life as we’ve never seen Hollywood like this!”

 

Knots: “Gavin Taylor had to give her them some tips. How to get by Deanna!”

 

Sharper: “We’ve already seen them go for that weakened arm. That arm that she landed awkwardly on at Club GA-Blam.”

 

Chris wrenches that arm again and then jerks on it. Deanna winces and Chris jerks on it again. He then turns and whips her into a neutral corner. Chris runs after and hits a running splash. Deanna staggers out and Chris runs across the ring and jumps to the middle rope and dives back for a flying forearm smash, but Deanna sidesteps. Chris rolls through. She gets up and Deanna runs at him and hits a dropkick. Chris falls back to the neutral corner. Selena yells out for the tag and Deanna looks over and reaches out and tags!

 

Knots: “So she didn’t learn anything! Has to be in the ring!”

 

Sharper: “Selena tagging in; Deanna tagging out. Clearly Deanna’s not at one hundred percent, but here comes the Snow Queen!”

 

Selena enters and Chris gets up and Selena runs at him and nails him with a hard right and then another. Ryan starts to enter and Selena hits a dropkick. He falls awkwardly into the ring and rolls out of the ring. Selena turns around and chops Chris. The crowd woos. She chops him again. More woos. She chops him a third time. More woos.

 

Chris: “Stop that!”

 

Selena shrugs and punches him in the jaw. Chris goes down, the official warns Selena about the closed fist.

 

Sharper: “Well she did do something else!”

 

Knots: “That’s a closed fist. Disqualify them!”

 

Sharper: “Then they retain!”

 

Knots: “Don’t disqualify her!”

 

Chris grabs at the ropes. Selena grabs him and pulls him up before hitting a running facebuster out from the ropes. Chris rolls to his back. Selena goes for the pin.

Sharper: “And this chaotic match. Deanna trying to do what she can. Chris up and over!”

 

Knots: “But Selena still has to deal with Ryan!”

 

Selena gets up and Ryan runs at her and kicks her in the ribs. He then pulls her into the Hollywood corner and knees her in the ribs once and then again and again before just throwing her down. Ryan then nods and grabs Selena and places her head between his legs. He then hoists her up for a powerbomb, but Selena rolls through into a sunset flip.

Ryan falls back. Selena rolls over and moves to the ropes. Deanna goes to tag, but Selena says no. Ryan then runs at her and Selena hits a drop toe hold into the middle rope.

Sharper: “Deanna with the Burnout!”

 

Knots: “That’s not fair! Not fair!”

 

Ryan falls back as Selena turns and Deanna points at him. Selena briefly looks at Deanna before then diving onto Ryan. Deanna enters as Chris slides in. She dives onto him, pinning him down. Chris tries to reach for Ryan.

The bell sounds. The crowd roars. Deanna loses Chris as he slides out and crawls over to Ryan as Selena rolls out of the ring. Deanna rolls out of the ring on the opposite side. The official goes over to grab the World Tag Team Titles as Selena goes over to Deanna’s titles.

 

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, and STILL SCW World Tag Team Champions, Selena Frost and Deanna Frost, the House of Frost!”

 

Deanna winces and walks around the ring before we see Mr. Black running around the ring and nailing Deanna in the injured arm with some sort of slapjack. Deanna goes down. Selena turns and hers Deanna yell in pain. Selena turns and runs around as Mr. Black manages to just keep running. Selena tries to grab him, but he slips off and falls over, crawling up the rampway and to the stage. Ryan and Chris look on as Selena heads over to Deanna. Deanna grimaces, holding her shoulder. She then starts to get up, almost defiant. She looks out as Mr. Black disappears to the back.

 

Sharper: “That slug!”

 

Knots: “Hey!”

 

Sharper: “Attacking Deanna’s shoulder. Gavin Taylor clearly trying for any advantage he can.”

 

Knots: “With CHBK in charge, do you blame him? He’s not going to get a fair shake!”

 

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor has manipulated every opportunity he’s gotten. And trying to do it again!”

 

Deanna looks up as Selena helps her up as the scene cuts away.

 

We see CHBK watching this from his office. He just shakes his head and sighs before we see Marie Jones stepping into the office. CHBK looks over.

 

CHBK: “Marie or Kim?”

 

Marie stops and shrugs.

 

Marie: “Fair question. But Marie…”

 

CHBK: “What can I do for you? Sounds like you already have someone else’s attention.”

 

Marie: “And I have no intention to get involved in this. I just want a fair match against Dexter. Simple as that.”

 

CHBK: “And you have a match at Apocalypse-“

 

Marie: “Yeah and Dexter, regardless of reality…he ran from my match with him and tonight, he and Asher somehow lost track of the count…seems like only stipulation matches he can keep track of things.”

 

CHBK: “So you want some sort of stipulation.”

 

Marie: “Yes. I don’t care what. But I want something so if I win, I know I’ve won. And if I lose….well it’s not going to be because Dexter ducked me or anything else.”

 

CHBK: “I’ll think about the options.”

 

Marie: “That’s all I ask.”

 

CHBK nods. Marie then goes to leave before CHBK follows up.

 

CHBK: “Marie…I should ask…is Kim enjoying the week off?”

 

Marie smirks.

 

Marie: “She’d rather be carving someone up like a Jack’o’Latern.”

 

CHBK: “I’ll see what I can do for next week. Consider it your birthday gifts.”

 

Marie smirks and leaves as the scene cuts away.

The Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen as “Crying Fire” by Avatar plays in the background.

 

Sharper: “Folks, our next major event is Apocalypse, taking place on October 25, 2026. And we can announce officially, some big matches. We mentioned how CHBK had to make some tough decisions.”

 

Knots: “And did he? Well he made some right ones for once!”

 

The SCW World Championship appears on the screen before we see a still for Gavin Taylor vs. Deanna Frost.

 

Sharper: “We expected this one. Gavin Taylor who had been waiting for his rematch since Hubris. He will get his shot at Apocalypse. One on one against Deanna Frost.”

 

Knots: “Whatever is left of her. She wants to take it all on. Well here you are.”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, she won’t need to worry about the World Tag Titles, but instead…we will determine who will get the next shot.

 

The Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen before we see a still for the SCW World Tag Team Championship and then a still of The Glimmer Sisters vs. Light in the Darkness.

 

Knots: “At least this time, it’s a standard match. No ridiculousness!”

 

Sharper: “No mental games. Just a two on two match. Light in the Darkness to face the Glimmer Sisters. A rematch from Taking Hold of the Flame. Winner gets this World Tag Team Championship shot next!”

 

The Apocalypse logo comes up again on the screen. This time, it follows up with the SCW Underground Championship comes up before we see a still for Asher Hayes and Bree Lancaster.

 

Knots: “Whoa. Wait! He accepted?!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know about that, but CHBK seemed to take the challenge seriously and maybe making sure there’s nothing else going on. This is an Underground Championship match. Standard Underground rules as we know. But Asher Hayes will defend against Bree Lancaster!”

 

Knots: “He better listen to her. I know he’ll earn my respect. That’s for sure. That’s worth more than most people’s life savings!”

 

Sharper: “We will see what happens. Apocalypse…a few weeks to go. And the card is taking shape. Four titles, so far, announced, to be on the line! And we can expect a stipulation for Marie Jones and Dexter Grant!”

 

The Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen.

 

6-7 vs. The Great & Secret Show

 

“The Way You Like It” by Adema plays as the crowd roars. We then cut to the entrance way as we see Dylan Howell running out wearing a bathrobe. The crowd roars. He looks around and smiles before cackling and then starting to walk down to the ring. Jessica Heart follows behind him, carrying a cloth bag with some items inside. Dr. Grace Morningwood stands behind them. She looks a bit exasperated already, but seems to go with it. Howell marches to the ring as Heart follows, spinning around. Morningwood takes up the rear.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall

 

Howell enters the ring and runs across the ring and over to Jason Phillips, almost tackling him back to the corner. Jessica Heart enters and runs over to Phillips, grabbing the microphone.

 

Heart: “It’s time for the Dylan Howell Open Invitational Body Slam Challenge!!!!!”

 

The crowd roars. Dylan Howell turns and stands in the middle of the ring. The bag Heart had has since been deposited in the middle of the ring. Howell looks around as Heart turns and looks at the crowd. Morningwood heads over to the corner.

 

Heart: “So time to see who is stepping up!”

 

Knots: “Please God no.”

 

Sharper: “Jessica Heart taking the microphone and I have a feeling the new team of 6-7 is going to be having a bit of a different night.”

 

Knots: “Oh God!”

 

“6-7!”

The numbers are both called out over the speakers in the exaggerated tone that most people, for better or worse, associate with the meme by this point, and the younger fans in the crowd immediately respond by yelling it back and doing the exaggerated hand motion. On the Tron, a giant white 6 and 7 are both bobbing up and down as if linked to a hand motion we don't see over a shifting cinematic green and blue gradient. “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla, the song that somehow started this whole trend, begins playing as Dylan "Six" Sexton and Tyler "Seven" Severin leap out onto the stage with an enthusiasm that definitely doesn't match the slower grind of the song. Still, their excitement is infectious to the younger fans, especially as they can't resist doing the “6-7” meme and hearing them respond to it while older fans boo them, already annoyed with their antics. The two young men head down to the ring, Dylan throwing up six fingers while Tyler throws up seven fingers which somehow still draws a response of the “6-7” meme from the younger fans. As they reach ringside, the two will patrol around the ring for a moment, looking for any younger fans to engage in an exaggerated “6-7” meme-off with before they roll into the ring, throwing up six and seven fingers respectively again as the younger fans do the meme and the older fans keep booing them. Dylan and Tyler seem unfazed, though, as they remove their respective entrance gear.

 

Sharper: “Well this young team…obsessed with the 6-7 meme-“

 

Knots: “This…kill me now. Just…I hate everyone in this match. Everyone. Shoot them into the sun.”

 

Severin and Sexton look at Heart and Howell and Howell then triumphantly disrobes, revealing his neon yellow mankini. The crowd roars as some fans turn away. Howell then bends over, leading to another reaction from the crowd, before he grabs the bottle of oil. He then holds it over him and starts to pour it over his shoulders, while maintaining an eerily amount of eye contact.

 

Sharper: “You wonder if the eye contact is a power move.”

 

Knots: “The hell is wrong with you?”

 

Sexton and Severin look at one another, almost uncertain. Howell rubs the oil all over him and then steps up, standing triumphantly. Sexton and Severin look at one another before Severin steps up and hits a forearm, before then kneeing him in the ribs. The crowd boos. Sexton steps up and hits a spinning back kick to the gut before then Severin hits an enziguri kick. Howell, shockingly remains on his feet, staggering, before Sexton then hits a dropkick. Howell staggers back and hits the ropes and goes into Severin who hits a flying forearm smash. Howell hits the mat and Severin nips up before Sexton joins him and they do the 6-7 meme. The crowd reacts with a violently mixed reaction. Heart looks at them before telling them to slam Howell. Howell stirs, holding his jaw, slowly pulling himself up.

 

Sharper: “Well they got Howell down, but that wasn’t a body slam.”

 

Knots: “I don’t know if they know or care. There’s a good chance they’re too stupid to know.”

 

Heart then looks at them as Severin and Sexton look at one another before then doing the 6-7 meme again, while smiling. They keep going before Heart then suddenly lift her shirt up, revealing her bra and leans forward, leading the two to end up touching her chest. They back up. Heart pulls her shirt down and points at Sexton’s eyes and then Severin’s before grabbing both by the hair and telling them both to focus. Sexton and Severin then shove her back as they look at Heart, now with disdain. Heart steps up and Sexton steps up, but then Howell runs up behind him and grabs him and hits a release German suplex. The crowd erupts. Howell rolls over as Severin turns and runs at him and spins around him for a waistlock, but the oil causes him to slip right off. Severin rolls over, wincing in pain. Heart then steps up, again pulling her shirt up to reveal her bra, before mocking the 6-7 meme by fondling her breasts. The crowd roars. Severin gets up and runs at Howell and Heart, but they both duck a clothesline attempt. Severin turns around and Howell and Heart hit a double flapjack. Severin pops up and rolls over. Howell and Heart then hoists him up onto the top turnbuckle. Howell then turns around and Sexton jumps up

 

Sexton: “SIX!”

 

He grabs Howell by the head, but again slides off from the oil. He rolls over in pain.

 

Howell: “ADDY!”

 

Howell then stomps him in the face. Sexton rolls over and turns around, extending his knee.

 

Sharper: “And the oil being a problem for this new team!”

 

Knots: “Where are the tags? We have an official!”

 

Sharper: “I guess the bodyslam challenge is under tornado tag rules!”

 

Heart then climbs up and jumps up and hits a top rope hurricanrana on Severin and Severin lands on Howell’s knee. He rolls over in pain. Heart gets up and twerks. Howell looks at him and then does the same, leading to a roar from the crowd.

 

Knots: “The man is twerking in a mankini!”

 

Sharper: “Too bad we’re not in the Tokyodome. We’d be seeing this get six stars! No! Seven!”

 

Knots: “I hate you!”

 

Sexton gets up and runs at Howell, nailing him from behind. The crowd boos. He turns and forearms Heart. Heart falls to the ropes. Sexton steps up and grabs her and goes to whip her across, but Heart slides to a stop. She gets up and punches Sexton in the face. Sexton staggers and Heart kicks him in the ribs. Howell then gets up and both Heart and Howell grab Sexton by the arm and wrench it before hoisting him up and turning and dropping him with the Edge of Insanity. Howell then sits on his chest with Heart leaning over him.

3!

 

The crowd roars as the bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall….and bodyslam?”

 

Heart gets up and nods at Phillips.

 

Phillips: “Jessica Heart and Dylan Howell, the Great and Secret Show!”

 

Morningwood enters the ring and tries to wrangle her team as Howell throws his arm up in the air.

 

Sharper: “Well not the debut 6-7 wanted, but we saw a successful version of the Dylan Howell Bodyslam challenge.”

 

Knots: “Neither things we needed!”

 

Sharper: “No one can say that SCW doesn’t offer something for everyone.”

 

Knots: “I don’t need to say that!”

 

Howell exits the ring and looks around. He goes over to the crowd, but Morningwood drops down and pulls him back. Heart drops down to the floor and laughs as they head to the back. Sexton and Severin slowly recover before pulling each other up, doing a weak version of the 6-7 gesture and collapsing to the mat.

 

“Psycho in my Head” by Skillet plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a still for Glory Braddock vs. Bree Lancaster.

 

Sharper: “Folks, it’s main event time. Bree Lancaster to face Glory Braddock! Next! Should be a classic!”

 

The scene fades out.

 

COMMERCIALS

 

Glory Braddock vs. Bree Lancaster

 

The first chords of "Immortal" by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play over the PA system.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, on her way to the ring, from London, England, she is the British Bombshell, Glory Braddock!”
 
Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp.

I come alive at the second of midnight
So I can fly when the world is asleep
You scream and howl as I'm taking the first bite
Blood on my tongue tastes of eternity

People will come and go
Some stories never told
They bury me down below
But I'll never die
'Cause I'm immortal
Yes, immortal

The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring.  Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly.

 

Sharper: “A big match here to cap us off here in Pittsburgh and one that has some notable impact. Glory Braddock has her eyes on getting back into World Title contention and we don’t have to guess with Bree Lancaster.”

 

Knots: “And Bree is going to push Glory. Glory better be ready to reconsider a few things. Bree is looking to use her as an example. For Asher, for more!”

 

The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.

{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache, cast away
Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}

As the heavy music of Imagine Dragons kicks in the lights come back up and Bree Lancaster is standing on the stage, her arms spread wide. She's wearing an open white leather knee length trench coat, trimmed with silver studs and a shiny silver scarf as a belt (a Scott Burnside original of course), over her gear. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is The Classet, Bree Lancaster!”

Bree continues to hold her arms out as she makes her way down the ramp. Getting to the ring she walks up the steps and waits for the referee to hold the ropes open for her. Stepping inside. Bree goes to the center of the ring, arms out wide again, and does a slow turn. Bree then goes to her corner as the music fades, removing her coat and draping it over the turnbuckle. A crew member then takes it down.

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster, we’ve already heard from her tonight. She actually confronted Asher Hayes. Tried to push back on his claims of respectability and then challenged him for the Underground Championship!”

 

Knots: “What’s so hard to believe? Asher Hayes wants to be something on his own. It’s not going to come by maiming opponents. He needs to realize he has to face world class opponents. And who is more world class than Bree Lancaster?!”

 

Sharper: “Syren may have a few things to say about that.”

 

Knots: “She has other things to worry about!”

 

The bell sounds as Aaron Demitra, the senior official, starts the match. Bree and Glory step out of their corners and then lock up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another and Glory turns into an arm wrench. Bree winces and pushes up and then ducks under and counters the wrench with one of her own. Glory winces and Glory reaches up and then flips forward and bridges up before ducking under and then spinning around and into side headlock. Bree then pulls Glory to the ropes and fires her off. Glory bounces off and Bree shoulders her down. Bree runs into the ropes and Glory rolls over into a drop down. Bree hops over and bounces off the other side. Glory then leap frogs over her. Bree hits the opposite side and Glory hits a hip toss. Bree hits the mat and gets up and Glory hits another hip toss and Bree turns and Glory hits an arm drag and pulls on the arm. Bree looks out, annoyed.

 

Sharper: “And a good start for Braddock. Bree needing to take a moment. Glory controlling the arm.”

 

Knots: “It’s early!”

 

Sharper: “It is. But we also know that Glory’s got some explosive offense. As does Bree.”

 

Bree starts to get up, Glory still holding on. Bree gets up and then pushes Glory into the ropes. She turns and whips her across. Glory bounces off and Bree goes for the hip toss, but Glory blocks it. Glory then punches Bree in the ribs, places her leg on the back of Bree’s head and backflips back. Bree goes for a clothesline. Glory ducks and then spins around and into a school boy.

Sharper: “And Bree with the back elbow. Glory hit hard. And now Bree all over her in the corner!”

 

Knots: “Just smart. Didn’t panic. That’s why she’s the future standardbearer!”

 

Bree drives her shoulder into the ribs of Glory. She whips her across the ring and runs after her. Glory hits the corner and Bree drills her with a running clothesline. She then backs up as Glory staggers forward and Bree then snapmares her out of the corner before running across the ring and hitting a running dropkick to the face. Glory falls back.

Knots: “Look out!”

 

Sharper: “Glory takes flight! Through the ropes and Bree driven hard into the announce table.”

Sharper: “Braddock wins tonight. A huge win for her. A massive one that gets her back on the winning side of things.”

 

Knots: “Asher distracted Bree!”

 

Sharper: “She chose to be distracted. He just walked to the ring. While Colleen MacDonald who had a bit of a run-in with Glory watches on from her box here. We hope to see her in action next week.”

 

Glory Braddock has her arm raised as Bree slowly gets up and looks at her. Asher Hayes then climbs onto the apron, getting Bree’s attention. Bree turns to him.

 

Hayes: “I accept.”

 

Hayes then drops down to the floor as Bree looks at him. She turns to Glory and then back to Hayes as Braddock celebrates. The scene then slowly fades to black…
