The first chorus of “A Real Life” by Greek Fire ends as we cut to the inside of Zion Wrestling Stadium! A huge set of pyro goes off to start us off for Mayhem tonight as we cut to Winter Mae and Kyle Casssidy at the announce desk!
Winter Mae: With just three weeks away from our summer extravaganza in Daytona, the red brand is bringing the heat to an already flaming Orlando! Welcome everyone to Monday Night Mayhem! I’m Winter Mae, joined as always by Kyle Cassidy!
Kyle Cassidy: We are in for a huge night of action, Winter, as we continue on with the Undisputed Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders tourney as Regulators, Inc takes on BFG, and Strike 2 Kill takes on Trinity! Not to mention a couple of debuts, as Akane Yamashita makes her debut in Zion, as well as Jack “The Ripper” Morrison being in action for the first time since he was drafted over to the red brand!
Winter Mae: Not to mention a star-studded main event, as The Undisputed Champion, Razzles Mars, teams with Nami Megumi, and one of Zion’s newest acquisitions, Morgan Payne, to take on The Void! Speaking of, it seems we’re about to hear from Megumi right now!
“STARS” Original by Stardom plays throughout the arena as the arena light turned to green, Nami walk out from the backstage with a smile on her face and with the microphone in her hand as she heading to the ring and waves her hand to the fans along the ringside on the way she heading to the ring. And slowly goes up to the ring and slowly walking to the middle of the ring while the crowd shouts her name “Nami! Nami! Nami!” Nami smile at the crowd again before she lift the mic up and finally she decided to speak something to the crowd.
Nami Megumi: Hello Florida! No, what do I have to say? Hello Orlando! I'm very pleased that I'm speaking here today. But, well, let's get straight to the point! I'm tired of someone claiming to be a Zion Undisputed Champion challenger when he didn't deserve it in the first place! Of course I'm talking about Zachary Porter, he said he runs Mayhem? That's not true at all. Because I was doing that long before he was drafted to Mayhem, I think they were the ones that deserved to be dealt with. I don't think he even dared to say that. I figured that if someone snapped his finger to wake him up from a dream, it should be me. But let's face it, I'm not going to claim my chance that was unfairly stolen two weeks ago. Because I'll be waiting and watching him fail when he faces Razzles Mars, but tonight I'm going to face him and two of his team. And tonight I'm not the only one here! I encourage everyone to experience the Ace of NFW and Zion Wrestling in the near future! Welcome Morgan Payne! Please cheer for her a lot!
“Pittsburgh” by The Amity Affliction kicks on throughout the arena as the lights in the arena turn to a flashing yellow. As the crowd gets loud again, Morgan Payne comes out onto the stage. She makes her approach to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row, on the way. Once she reaches the ring, she poses on the turnbuckle, throwing her arms up to amp the crowd before taking a second microphone. As her music fades out, she meets Nami in the center of the ring, giving her a high five before bringing her mic up.
Morgan Payne: So I guess we openin’ and closin’ tha show tonight, huh? Whatchinz up to, Orlando?!
She sticks the mic out to amplify the pop from the crowd, then brings it back in to continue.
Morgan Payne: Now Nami, first off, I appreciate the praise n’at, but careful ‘bout callin’ me the future Ace of Zion. We wouldn’t want tha insecure emo squad in tha back to get their knickers all knotted up.
Morgan cracks a smirk as the crowd lets out a mixture of laughter and an “oooooooh.”
Morgan Payne: But nah, straight up, lemme talk t’yinz. I came aht here last week and stood face to face wif Killer Kara and all but dared her to do somethin’. But she had more important shit t’do, right? Like what? Jump me from behind after wrestlin’ a match? Seems kinda like a familiar territory from Tha Void if yinz ask me. Nami, dat sound familiar t’you?
Morgan makes a play of scratching the side of her head, thoughtfully as Nami nods enthusiastically. Morgan taps her chin.
Morgan Payne: Now I wonder why dat is? Could it cuz everything I said about Tha Void is right? They ain’t nothin’ but a buncha bitch ass cowards who get what they want by strikin’ from tha dahk? Sad thing is, they’ll admit it but they don’t see it as “cowardice.” They see it as “by any means necessary.” Well I say - nah, matter of fact…
She motions between herself and Nami.
Morgan Payne: We say: Fuck! That! Zachary Porter wants to call himself tha top dawg of Mayhem. Killer Kara wants to walk arahnd rockin’ her Shieldmaidens kutte. Bitch, listen t’me real close: tha way you strut arahnd here, conduction’ yourself? You’re a fuckin’ disgrace to tha Shieldmaidens! Then ya got Miguel Ortiz, walkin’ arahnd, fuckin’ emo Rico Suave lookin’ ass. Who you tryna fool, jagoff? Let’s not forget tha lil tagalong they got. Lil Eddie Gutierrez. Or wait, whatchu call yourself now. Ex-Con Ed? E-C-E? Hey man, N.W.A called. They want their shit back. You wanna act like you some hard ass thug from tha streets after one night in holding for beatin’ up on some defenseless kid? Boy you dunno what hard really is and I’ll put money dahn that ya lady don’t either!
Morgan lowers the mic and the crowd lets out a louder “OHHHHHHHHHH!” Morgan looks at Nami and just shrugs, not ashamed of what she said.
Morgan Payne: Tonight, there ain’t no sneak attacks. There ain’t no numbers games. Yeah, yinz may have four, we don’t give a fuck. Cuz tonight you’re dealin’ wif tha Sky Genius, tha Steel City Kaiju - and Zach Porter, I got full confidence she’s gonna whup tha dogshit outta you and remind you who really runs tha locker room here - but tonight tha rest o’your lil bitch squad get a lil piece of it too, Undisputed Champion of Zion! Yo Razzles!! Getcha ass dahn here, girl!
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"Strawberry Shake" plays over the PA system and the fans erupt into cheers. Razzles pushes past the curtains, her long hair in flowing curls. She wears a cropped t-shirt, laced down the center with a thick pink ribbon: one half of the shirt is a Morgan Payne tee and the other is a Nami Megumi one. Light blue denim shorts and pink sneakers finish the look. Around her waist is the Zion Wrestling Undisputed Championship. She unlatches it and thrusts it up in the air. The roar of the applause only gets louder as she makes her way down the ramp, a hand extending out for the fans to collect high fives. When her hand draws back, she waves at the two in the ring before sliding into the ring. Putting the championship on her shoulder as she stands up to her feet. “Strawberry Shake” starts to fade as she takes a microphone from a nearby stagehand.
Razzles Mars: …Hiya!
She smiles excitedly, pulling Nami in for a hug.
Razzles Mars: It just feels so incredible to finally have this moment with you two, but especially you Nami. I feel like our careers have constantly been meetin’ at a crossroads but gettin’ to work with you has been overdue for the longest time, and while we deserved to be standin’ across from each other as opponents… standin’ shoulder-to-shoulder with you is my honour and privilege, mate.
Mars said, giving her shoulder a squeeze and a supportive nod. Her attention then turned to Morgan, glancing down at the slightly shorter dark-haired woman.
Razzles Mars: And Morgan Payne… you got a presence that radiates off you, darling. I am so glad to see that you’re standin’ on our side. I’m glad to know that you’re a woman who’s as classy as she is talented. The quality when you find success? It’s not always easy to find or maintain. As you so explained, it can be real easy to let that reputation precede you, let your head swell up, and take short cuts or round up a clique of people who will help you trim those corners and get you further than you’d ever get on your own when you’re in those trenches: that’s where Zach’s at, and the only person who’s gonna dig ‘em out of there is him. It’s counterproductive to the betterment of Zion Wrestlin’, and I’d nev’uh let the Undisputed Championship fall into his hands. Zion Wrestlin’ deserves better, everyone in the stands deserves better, Nami deserves better, and so do you. Thank you for bein’ on our side and makin’ sure that the odds get evened.
Razzles smiles warmly.
Razzles Mars: I know that we are on the right side of this fight. And a fight is exactly what I want tonight. When people like The Void go unchecked? They continue. It doesn’t just stop at me because I’m the Undisputed Champion - it multiples. What stops them from pulling this with The Tag Division? The Inna’net Championship? The Gateway Championship? What stops the Void from completing the takeova’ that they think they deserve if we don’t all stand togetha’, band togetha’, and let them know that Zion Wrestlin’ and Mayhem are too big to belong to ONE man with an ego problem? Mayhem isn’t The Void’s property. Zion doesn’t belong to them! It’s OURS: ALL of OURS!
Razzles gestures to the crowd, who respond to her words with a roaring applause.
Razzles Mars: And just like the Undisputed Championship is for us? Zion Wrestling is for US. And I know that these girls and I would move the Earth to defend our home from people who want to take it from us. Ladies, I hope you’re just as ready as I am, because The Void has had this comin’ for a while. Let’s give ‘em everything that their actions are askin’ for!
Nami stood staring at Razzles Mars spoke with a sweet, adorable smile. As Razzles spoke, Nami clapped her hands every time the fans started applauding her. Before Razzles finished speaking, Nami saw both Morgan and Razzles finishing both of them, she stepped forward with a smile amid cheers from the fans.
Nami Megumi: Hearing the two people say We are ready for tonight's match. Because we don't want our house visitors claiming they run Mayhem when I did it before them. The Razzles did it before them and it's nice to have someone special tonight to help them out. We tonight to let them know that this place already has a host. And as the first captain here like me I'm not going to let them claim they're the best here. I know how confident the Void are tonight but I've had a lot of experience in Mayhem. I will lead my team to lose tonight. Especially the one who stole my stuff. I won't give them too much heart. It's time to show them that we won't let that happen again. Let the last time it happen to me And after this, I will stand next to everyone who is targeted by the Void, because I don't want them getting what they don't belong to. Zachary thinks he is the right challenger? I don't think so. His thoughts made me quite annoyed. But hey, it's over and I'm going to keep going until I get what I want. And of course, now what I want is revenge on the Void for what they did to me. They think I'm not important anymore. I'd say they're wrong if they think so. I'll remind them that no one here has ever overlooked me, and the Razzles know that someone like me shouldn't be overlooked. And after this they will know too!
Nami walked up to Razzles before she looked at Razzles face before she tapped Razzles on the shoulder as she smiled at her friend.
Nami Megumi: This will be the second time I've spoken to you in a ring like this. In the past, I was standing next to my sister with a champion. I wasn't expecting you at that time. But it's in the past. Now, I promise that until we end our troubles with the Void, I will stand by you and Morgan. Our affairs are future. Let me call you both a generation of destiny. I know that someday in the future we will face each other again but for now I will help you fight the Void. From now on you will always have me by your side. We can call our relationship frienemy, but now you can count on me. As you can see, I'm not like when we fought for the Tag Team Championship. Now our goal is the same, the Void. I want you to focus on Zachary Porter and leave the others to me and Morgan. Tonight let's fight together for our victory. Tonight we will fight for our victory and I can promise that I will help the team as much as I can. can help So let's do it for our fans and protect Mayhem from the Void together. We must not give them what they want. And I know tonight we can beat the Void no matter what plans they have for us tonight I don't want you to worry about it just trust me and Morgan and believe the three of us. People will join the match tonight and become winners together tonight. Make them see who exactly is at the forefront of Mayhem!
Morgan smiles, nodding along with everything said by Razzles and Nami. Once Nami’s finished, she raises the mic again and motions to their team with her other arm, looking out at the crowd.
Morgan Payne: There yinz have it! It ain’t the Kingdom. It ain’t the Megumism. But it’s a unity unlike what Tha Void got. Yinz’re buncha loose cannons followin’ behind a delusional leader and ain’t an ounce o’sense between ya. And we gonna expose dat tonight in front o’all these people here. Miguel Ortiz…Zachary Porter…Kara… Yinz have been terrorizin’ Fusion for too long. You will not do tha same here on Mayhem cuz we won’t allow it. Nobody will. Yinz came here and decided t’fuck arahnd. Tonight? Yinz ‘bout t’find aht.
She drops the microphone and spreads her arms out as the crowd cheers, the last shot focusing on the three leaving the ring and heading up the ramp. Together.
Winter Mae: Wow! Strong words coming from one-half of tonight’s Main Event! But will they be able to get the job done against a force as powerful as The Void?!
Kyle Cassidy: I curse those three for bringing that passion the way they did, because now I can’t wait for the Main Event tonight! It’s gonna be one to remem—
Just then, Kyle is interrupted, with the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, Kaya and Lilith Parker, hopping over the barricade and sliding into the ring. Lilith goes over and gets two microphones looking at Kaya as she hands one to her. She taunts the fans, then Lilith speaks.
Lilith Parker: Tonight again the two of us are left off the show, waiting for this tournament to end. And why should we wait any longer? Why should your Undisputed Tag Team Champions wait for people to come to us?
Kaya lifts her hand, and a lightbulb goes off for her. She giggled to herself as she brushed her orange hair out of her face.
"The poison Rose" Kaya Parker: So we're gonna do something about that. Next week, we challenge anyone to come here and face us. If you think you have the balls to step up to us then you will get your shot. That tag team tournament is just a joke.
She cackled then threw the microphone off to the side. Lilith and Kaya leave the ring, putting up a L on her forehead.
Winter Mae: Whoa! What a statement from the Undisputed Tag Team Champions to keep the night going! It looks like The Deathriders want a fight!
Kyle Cassidy: And with the amount of tag teams out there willing to take the word “anyone” to heart, I imagine Katrina Lopez is gonna be fielding A LOT of phone calls!
OPENING CONTEST: BFG VS REGULATORS, INC.
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL MATCH
Vivian Blake: The following tag team contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Vivian Blake: And is a quarterfinal match in the Undisputed Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Tournament!
Introducing first…at a combined weight of 304 lbs…the team of Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler…Regulators! Incorporated!
And their opponents…at a combined weight of 217 lbs…the team of Kenzie Garrett and Fable Rowen…B! F! G!
Winter Mae: BFG made it into the quarterfinals of this tournament off the back of some sneaky tactics from Kenzie Garrett! Tactics that it seems Fable Rowen is not so fond of! Do you think they’ll be able to pull off a victory here, Kyle?
Kyle Cassidy: BFG are a pair of amazing wrestlers together and apart. It doesn’t take a genius to know how they managed the win last week. That said, they’re now up against a pair of seasoned tag specialists in Regulators, Inc., who seem to have a lot more cohesion now than BFG does right now! If they wanna pull off this win, they’re gonna have to get it together and figure out how to work as a team here!
Fable Rowen starts off in the ring against Sadie Cassidy, with The Gamechanger seemingly ready to go against the adversary she has standing across the ring from her! But just before she’s able to get things going, Kenzie Garrett decides to butt in, tagging herself into the match on Rowen’s shoulder! This somewhat predictably starts an argument right out of the gate between the two, with Garrett not wanting to hear any of Rowen’s objects and shouting her onto the apron! This is just the distraction needed by Cassidy however, who rushes Rowen and decks her with a Clothesline! She waits for Rowen to make it to her feet, before taking her down with a second Clothesline! Garrett once again scrambles to her feet, seemingly ready for Cassidy this time as she ducks a third Clothesline! Cassidy has a back up plan however, hitting the ropes and rebounding to connect with a Big Boot to Garrett! Pin by Cassidy!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Garrett! Cassidy doesn’t let up on her, dragging her up to her knees by the arm before nailing her with a few Boots to the chest! She pulls her all the way up to her feet before getting in a Wristlock, dragging her to the corner, and tagging in Jane Adler! Adler takes to the second rope, hopping off with the aim of driving her Elbow into the already twisted arm of Garrett! But she thinks fast, pulling Cassidy in the way and causing her to nail her own partner with an Elbow instead! Cassidy collapses to the mat, with Adler showing a bit of remorse as she looks to check on her! This leaves the opening that Garrett needs of however, as she runs up on Adler in the corner and lays into her with wild and vicious Stomps until the referee threatens a DQ! Garrett steps back, with Adler crawling out of the corner! She takes advantage of this, hitting the ropes before nailing her with a harsh Penalty Kick! She follows up with an authoritative stomp to the head before going for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Adler! Garrett backs into the corner, waiting for Adler to make it back to her feet before going to take her down with a Roaring Elbow! But she ducks underneath it, leaving Garrett to run right into her corner instead! This is when Fable Rowen takes her opportunity, tagging herself into the match off of Garrett’s shoulder before rushing into the ring and dropping Adler with the Elbow she didn’t get to hit! She then turns her attention to Cassidy on the apron, taking her down with a Big Boot that sends her to the floor at ringside! She turns back to Adler, who’s still trying to reach a vertical base here! She looks for the Curb Stomp, but Adler rejects it, leading Rowen to have to improvise! She does exactly that, nailing Adler with a Superkick that sends her staggering into the corner! Rowen follows up, nailing Adler with a Corner Body Splash before looking for an Irish Whip! Adler reverses however, sending Rowen into her corner instead! She looks to follow up, but Garrett tags herself into the match before catching her with a Slingshot DDT! Pin by Garrett, as she gets her feet on the ropes for leverage!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
No! Rowen breaks up the pin, pushing Garrett’s feet off the ropes as she chastises her friend for trying to cheat to take another win! Garrett gets her feet, with the two partners now getting in each other’s faces as they proceed to argue again! This eventually catches up with them, with Sadie Cassidy flipping over the ropes for the Buckshot Lariat! Rowen pushes Garrett out of the way, taking the move herself! Garrett looks down at the sacrifice Garrett made for her despite everything! But she doesn’t have time to take it in, with Adler pulling her up and dropping her with an Inverted Alabama Slam! Pin by Adler!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Garrett! Adler looks to finish this, setting her up for the Rio Lobo Driver! She sets her up, but Garrett pulls an old trick out of her sleeve, using her free arm to rake Adler’s eyes mid-lift! Adler releases Garrett as she clutches at her sore eyes, falling to her knees and leaving herself in perfect position for her to hit Grim Fandango! Spikerana connects! Garrett pins, grasping a handful of tights just for some extra help!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Fable Rowen once again advances towards the ring, looking to stop her partner from netting them another phony victory. But something in her causes her to take pause, with her coming down from the apron and letting the count happen.
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…B! F! G!
Winter Mae: BFG once again advance in this tournament due to the nefarious actions of Kenzie Garrett!
Kyle Cassidy: But did you see that, Winter?! I think…I think Fable Rowen just allowed her to cheat!
Winter Mae: Nonsense, Kyle! Rowen was just dazed from that hellish Lariat from Sadie Cassidy! She didn’t make it to the ring on time!
Kyle Cassidy: No, Winter! I know what I saw! Fable Rowen had every opportunity to stop Kenzie Garrett from cheating to win and she chose not to!
Winter Mae: We’ll just have to agree to disagree!
Garrett celebrates alone in the ring, with Rowen looking up to her in conflict as we fade!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Vivian Blake: And is a quarterfinal match in the Undisputed Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Tournament!

RESULT: PINFALL (GRIM FANDANGO)
A red 2023 AMG SL Roadster pulls up to the backstage parking lot of the Zion Wrestling Stadium. The Mercedes stops and is shut off. The door swings open and steps out is a black Dior Empereinte Heeled boots, as the camera pans up to see a white pair of Hudson Jeans, and a black LuluLemon Ebb to Street High-Neck Tank Top. Bianca is smiling from ear to ear as she slides off her black Gucci oversized rectangular sunglasses.
“Classy” Bianca Page:All week I have had people coming up to me, hitting me up on twitter wondering why I interjected myself in the Gateway Championship match last week. While most are outraged just like Serenity is, you would have understood when Serenity’s latest boy toy confronted me over twitter about my actions. Like I told him it is not about his lady in particular but it is because I should have gotten the Gateway championship shot and I should be the one who is champion right now. Not that pathetic ass Diamond Steele but does Serenity or any of her flock of haters understand that? Noooo they don’t understand that and then her dumb robotic friend starts cussing at me on her stupid show….
Something catches Bianca’s eye, she begins to scream and rushes back into her car. Just before Bianca is able to shut the front door Serenity rushes into the screen and smacks the window with a led pipe causing the window to shatter all over the concrete. Before Serenity can raise the pipe to swing it again Bianca turns the car on and speeds away as the momentum of the car causes the car door to slam shut. Serenity throws the led pipe in the direction of the moving car. Serenity yells out…
Serenity Holmes: RUN BINKY RUN! I’LL FIND YOU AND PUT YOU DOWN BITCH!!
Serenity turns around in frustration and begins to walk away.
Melissa Tasman: One day you'll make it big. Everyone says it to themselves. To most credit, alot of people do make it because they jept pushing.
That's all I gotta do. Just keep pushing. Push it real good as most know it. The bad has to end someday. Well maybe that day is today. Maybe one day for me has finally come.
It only takes one. One good day. One bad day. Doesn't matter. But it only takes one to flip an entire life, an entire career. Me, I had some pretty lousy days. I had alot of shit happen. My track record is lookin less lije a pro and more like a first year who just got in the ring.
But I won't let the bad days define me. Not now or ever. And tonight I'm starting upward. Eden Sterling will go down. And hard.
My day is going up. Hers is going down.
Fade
The camera flickering on and we see what looks to be a shot shown from a cell phone. A towering redhead comes into focus and we see Eden Sterling smirking at the camera.
Eden Sterling: Melissa, you think you need this? Girl, you have no idea how badly I need this match and how badly I need to make a statement here. Why? Because after the past few months I've had, I need something to go my way. After coming short time after time, to say I have been a bit distressed and disappointed in myself is an understatement. But, in case you didn't hear, let me tell you here.
The smile brightens a bit more.
Eden Sterling: I'm free.
Eden chuckles a bit more.
Eden Sterling: And with that new mindset, there is nothing holding me back, nobody to answer to. It's just...me. And I'm capable to be the beast I'm supposed to be. No more holding back, no more tag division. Just Eden unleashed. So, quite frankly, Melissa, I'm sure you'll put up one neck of a fight, but I need this. You might be walking into this match a little bruised up and that's unfortunate, but that won't make me take it easy on you. I have many goals to accomplish in this business and it's time I start fulfilling that potential people kept talking about. Do what you can, Melissa, but you gotta remember, you're facing an Amazon.
Eden gives a confident wink to the camera before she leans in and hits button, the camera flickering to black.
MATCH #2: MELISSA TASMAN VS EDEN STERLING
Tasman sees the height of her much more imposing opponent here tonight, deciding not to waste any time with the foreplay and just going straight at her! She nails Sterling with a Corner Body Splash to kick off this match, before beginning to rail into her with a few shots to the back in order to keep her at bay! This seemingly fails to work, with Sterling pushing her away before subsequently dropping her with a Running Shoulder Tackle! She doesn’t even seem slightly phased by her opponent, yelling for her to get up despite already seeing the onslaught that a request like that could entail! Tasman reaches her feet, rushing over to try to get the jump on Sterling again only to be taken down by a Spinebuster! She goes for the pin, with Tasman kicking out at two!
Sterling gets Tasman to her feet, sending her into the corner with an Irish Whip before following her in with a Hip Attack! She doubles down on that attack, sending Tasman into the opposite corner using an Irish Whip as well! Tasman doesn’t stick around for another Hip Attack however, vaulting over the ropes and onto the apron to allow Sterling to hit the corner on her own! Tasman takes advantage, waiting for Sterling to get into perfect position before going for a Springboard Crossbody! Sterling rolls through it, lifting Tasman up before looking for a Body Slam! But Tasman reverses, taking Sterling down with a Stundog Millionaire instead! Sterling falls out of the ring, with Tasman deciding to fly as she hits the ropes and nails her with a Suicide Dive! Tasman throws Sterling back into the ring for a pin, only getting a two count!
Tasmn looks for the end here, getting Sterling position before going for the Sit Out Facebuster! Sterling catches her by surprise as she jumps up for the move, popping her onto her shoulders and throwing her into the corner with a Bucklebomb! Tasman is stumbling on her feet as Sterling rushes in with Eat This (Discus Clothesline)! She curls Tasman up into position, getting her into Flash Flood 3.0 (Last Chancery)! With nowhere to go, Tasman has no choice but to submit!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Eden! Sterling!
Winter Mae: Eden Sterling taps into a new aggressive side of herself to win this one!
Kyle Cassidy: A little too aggressive, Winter! She’s still got that hold in!
Alas, Kyle is right, as we cut back to the ring to see Sterling still locking in the hold on Tasman, despite her tapping out! The referee tries to remind Sterling that the match is over to no avail, eventually resorting to attempting to tug Sterling off of Tasman! This fails as well, leaving the referee with no choice but to call for the bell again!
Vivian Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has ordered that the decision of this match be overturned…therefore, your winner as a result of a disqualification…Melissa! Tasman!
Winter Mae: The right call made by our official! Eden Sterling’s behavior was uncalled for!
Kyle Cassidy: It looks like Sterling might disagree with that assessment!
Sterling finally releases Tasman, getting the referee’s face over the reversed decision made by them! An argument breaks out on both sides, but Sterling eventually sobers up to reason, leaving the ring in an even worse mood than before.
RESULT: DISQUALIFICATION
We go backstage where Melina Rodrigo is facing the camera.
Melina Rodrigo: Ladies and Gentlemen..my guest at this time, the Jukebox Hero, Griffin Hawkins!
Griffin shows up onto the shot smiling. The crowd out in the arena is cheering.
Melina Rodrigo: Griffin...you haven't been here long, but so far you're getting everyone buzzing! In your debut, you defeated the Fighting Spirit Champion Robert Kaiden Oakley...in a lot of people's eyes that makes you the number one contender, would you agree?
Griffin Hawkins: I'd say it does. Here's the thing Melina...I dunno if you noticed this about me, but I really like taking things...things that are meaningful to me. What I want, I take. And right now what I want..is that Fighting Spirit Title. And I think it would look damn good around this waist. I've already proven that I can beat Oakley...so I'm making the challenge to him right now, me and him one on one for the gold. I'm sure he's got no problem giving me an opportunity.
Melina Rodrigo: Well, good luck in doing so..but before that happens you have a match agaisnt the very devious Hayumi Yamato who's looking to spoil this momentum you have.
Griffin Hawkins: True...things haven't been going well for her lately as her former allies have continuously let her down, and now she's trying to get the job done on her own. But if she comes up against me, her bad luck won't get better..it'll get worse. I don't want it to look like I am looking past her on my road to the Fighting Spirit Title, I take every match seriously...just like I will tonight. I hope Oakley is watching...because tonight, somebody's gonna get rocked!
He walks off as we head elsewhere.
It was a hell of a show so far, hype filled the air as each and every member of that audience were on their feet, eagerly awaiting whatever was next. They wouldn't have to wait long at all as 'Champion' by Carrie Underwood and Ludacris filled the air. Those cheers intensified as stepping through the curtains was none other than Ricky Rodriguez!
They increased even more as he was joined by the FCW Champion, Ashlynn Cassidy, showing their support for her despite no longer being a part of Zion Wrestling. Both dressed casually, Ash hooked her arm in Ricky's as he led them both down that ramp and into the ring. Ricky ducked through the ropes, being handed a microphone as he made his way back to the middle of the ring.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'At Mayhem Seventy, I went in there and I defeated Brooke Cartwright. See, she had alooottabit to say bout me. I mean some really low shit. Said her chauffeur was higher in life than I am. Said the Internet Championship is trivial and how it and Mayhem both need savin..'
Ricky paused, giving that whole 'really?' look and clearly the audience agreed, the negative reaction speaking volumes.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'But at the end of the day..that's all she did. She..said. She didn't back up those words. She didn't crush anyone beneath her boot. She didn't win. As a matter of fact, she tried to pull a fast one. And how did that work out for you? How did any of that work out for you? Here, I'll even give you time to answer.'
Bringing his free hand up, Ricky mouthed the words 'One..two..three' using his fingers to count along as emphasis.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'Time's up, you lose..again. And sure, you had hold of that rope but y'know what? Ref dude never saw it, counted the match, and called for the bell. Now sure, you can cry and bitch and moan and complain till one of The Powers That Be gets tired of hearin it and just..gives in.
But why would you do that? Why would you fight for somethin that you see as trivial and so fuckin far beneath you? That's just never made sense to me bout you entitled bitch types..but that's another story for another time.'
Lowering that microphone a bit, Ricky's bright smile only grew larger as he looked around at the crowd for a moment.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'The only story I'm tryinta tell right now is how Ricky Rodriguez bouta walk outta Slaycation as the newww Zion Wrestlin Internet Champion.
See, my time over on Fusion, it was always simple. Become Champion so I coulda said I held a title on every Zion brand. But as you all know..that didn't reallyyy work out like I wanted it to.'
There was a clear disappointment in the eyes of Ricky but he kept going nonetheless.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'And I'm not gonna stand here and say it was some big fuckin conspiracy cause..let's be honest, I had chances..
Chance..
After chance..
After chance..
And every..fuckin..time..I failed.'
The disappointment he was showing was slowly replaced by a growing intensity.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'But I did what I always do. After every one of those failures..I picked myself back up..not without help, of course. But I got back up and I didn't stop. I kept goin no matter how shitty I felt. No matter how much I didn't wanna be here. I still came through and every single time..I have my everythin..cause that's what y'all deserve.'
His expression softened as he pulled himself from that previous direction, for whatever reason.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'Tickets ain't cheap. Concessions want your first fuckin born for a tub of popcorn. And yet..here y'all are. Cheerin us on week in and week out. We owe it to you to make sure you love every fuckin second of this. No matter how I feel boht my situation or whatever..I owe it to every one of you to be the best Ricky Rodriguez I can be.
And y'know what the best Ricky Rodriguez I can be does? He wins. He pushes through whatever obstacles are in front of him and he comes out on top. That's the plan for Slaycation. That's my goal. Which brings me to who I shoulda been talkin bout this whole ass time..
Our Zion Wrestlin Internet Champion..The Phantom Queen herself..Dinah Wolfe. C'mon y'all, let's hear it for Dinah!'
Ricky paused again as the crowd erupted with cheers. He held the microphone in his armpit, clapping as they cheered.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'Dinah went through hell to hang that Championship up there and walk out as Internet Champion. She earned it. She deserves it. And most importantly..now she gotta defend it. Winnin it is one thing. Defendin it is a wholeee nother story entirely.
You bouta see that..cause I'm comin. I got my focus where it needs to be. I'm keepin my head right. I'm doin what I gotta do to make sure I'm the best goddamn Ricky Rodriguez I've ever been. Not cause that's the kinda challenger you deserve. Not cause that's the kinda wrestler they deserve to see.
But cause I want it. Not just want it..I need this, Dinah. I need to go in there and I need to put on the match of a lifetime. But more importantly..I need to beat you. I need to walk outta Slaycation as the newww Zion Wrestlin Internet Champion.
And it's bout damn time I start holdin true.
To
The
Top.'
Without saying another word, Ricky let that microphone fall from his hand. Turning to look at Ash with that bright smile as she returned the look, the two of them exchanged a few inaudible words before making their exit.
MATCH #3: AKANE YAMASHITA VS BENITO WALLACE
Akane Yamashita and Benito Wallace were in the ring, raring and ready to get their match started. As soon as the referee checked them over and signlaed for the bell to sound, Akana wasted no time at all in going after Benito. She took him down with a hard clothesline, sending him crashing to the mat. As Wallace got back to his feet from the vicious clothesline, Yamashita nailed him with a hard running enzuguiri, sending him crashing back down to the mat while holding his head. The woman looked down at him and smirked before leaning down to get her opponent back to his feet. Yamashita grabbed Wallace and lifted him up for a Fisherman’s Suplex. Akane slammed Benito back roughly, the smirk returning to her face as she got back to her own feet.
Yamashita stalked Wallace as he crawled over to the ropes, using them to pull himself up to his feet. While she saw that she could easily end the match if she wanted to do so, the woman was enjoying the match and being out in front of the crowd that was in attendance. The crowd cheered for her as she grabbed Benito again, this time whipping him into the corner opposite of them. She charged after him, nailing him with another hard clothesline before scooping him up for a brainbuster, dropping him down hard on his head.
Getting Benito back to his feet again, Akane whipped her somewhat out of it opponent into the ropes only to nail him with a hard lariat when he came running back towards her! The lariat seemed like it almost took Wallace’s head off as he flipped over then landed on the mat. The man hit hard, but his opponent wasted no time in pulling him to his feet one final time. Benito was unsteady on his feet after the way the match had gone, but it didn’t stop Akane from moving behind him and getting him set up for a Dragon Suplex. She nailed Eternal Sleep on the man then immediately dropped down to pin him! The referee dropped as well and give her the three count for the victory.
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match...Akane! Yamashita!
Winter Mae: What a debut for Yamashita! She put a hurting on Benito that I've never seen before!
Kyle Cassidy: If she keeps up with performances like that, I see big things in the future of this young lady!
Yamashita stands tall as we fade.
RESULT: PINFALL (ETERNAL SLEEP)
The scene opens with the manager of Strike 2 Kill, Gregory Murphy, standing in the forefront of the frame, with his signature slimy grin stretching across his face, as he rubs his hands together excitedly. Alongside him are his clients, former trio's champions, Strike 2 Kill's; Liam Richardson and Miles Watson, both dressed in their ring gear, ready for the action later. Murphy licks his dry lips before opening them;
Gregory Murphy: Ladies and Gentlemen, our mission statement has been made. The Undisputed Tag Team Championships is on the agenda and what we're thinking of is revolution... by winning this tag team tournament, Strike 2 Kill become the ultimate team, and that has always been our mission.
As Murphy finishes his sentence, he takes a step back to allow Richardson some time in the forefront.
Liam Richardson: The boys are back in town, and no, this isn't a dream. We're live in the flesh, it really all happened. A fortnight ago, we returned from the dead and beat The Gemstones, one, two, three in our return match. The boys are bloody back and we're back for some more gold, and The Deathriders, they've been riding this wave for a while now, championship after championship, promotion to promotion...
They've solidified themselves as one of the best, yet still, that doesn't deter us. No, we're running straight into the fire, blazing in the depths of hell, but we've already seen it. And we're not afraid, ladies, we know the lengths we're gonna have to go to, to get to the summit. All roads lead to you but first, we've gotta handle business tonight.
Richardson clasps his hands together as Watson lingers into the forefront.
Miles Watson: Business, Trinity, Aubrianna Powers and Valentina Skye. Familiar foes, we watched ya'll capitalize on a few mistakes from The Crown but still, ya'll won and that's all that matters. The facts are, ya'll have been around for a minute now, and despite how bad it might get, ya'll always stick around and we've gotta respect that, we respect the hustle. But that's where the respect stops, because we know who ya'll really are, and what you're about.. And we couldn't be more opposite. We've done this dance before and we've been beaten you, and tonight, we follow suit.
We've been them boys, all over the globe, promotion to promotion. Earned our badges and accolades and we're still standing, doing out thing ready to go another round with destiny. Our destiny is those undisputed tag team titles and Liam and I, we're very aware that we couldn't get the job done first time round. When the two of us challenged for the tag titles in the past, we failed and we haven't forgotten. That burden, that loss, it lives with us, but it fuels us to rectify that wrong, and we ain't gonna stop till it is. Tonight, ya'll ain't coming up against some average make-shift team, no, ya'll up against some world class wrestlers, the best of the best, The Technical Marvel and The Kingdoms Assassin!
Liam Richardson: What I don't think people understand is that this tournament, what made for us. This opportunity right here, was designed for Strike 2 Kill to show the world what we're all about. It's our name, for crying out loud, and you get the pleasure of seeing it in 4K. S2K are going to the very top, ladies and gents, mark my bloody words.
Miles Watson: Amen.
Liam Richardson: And soon, will have a couple pals joining us, ready for the real work to begin!

Liam Richardson: And soon, will have a couple pals joining us, ready for the real work to begin!
The scene gradually fades with all members of the group posing for the cameras.
The scene starts with Trinity sitting in their lovely locker room that they have had made for them. The girls are in their matching ruby ring gear as Brooke Cartwright is wearing a very expensive headpiece as Deliah is in the ruby red.
Valentina Skye: Strike 2 Kill, welcome to the second round. A lucky second round of you might add.
Trinity shakes their heads with a smirk on their faces.
Valentina Skye: You know, for the past couple of weeks, our team looks to add more gold to our group. We look to add more to our legacy. Though we can’t seem to do it without people getting in our way!
Valentina gets very angry
Valentina Skye: I really don’t like this feeling at all! I really goddamn don’t! Why is that all the time, we have people in our way, stopping us from getting what we want?!
Delilah Hill: Because like everyone else, Strike 2 Kill are JEALOUS of us!
Delilah Hill takes stand
Delilah Hill: You see, I bet these two are plotting and scheming about how to defeat us. They are plotting and scheming about what they want to do with us! It’s everything that has been done in the past, people go against Trinity, they talk shit and then WE END THEM!
Aubrianna Powers: Speaking of the past, if history is any indicator, then you are looking at your future future winners of this whole damn tournament and your next Tag Team Champions. Remember those Trios Titles? We made them great! We made them meaningful! We were the single greatest Trios Champions in ZION history. Do you think it’ll be any different? Do you think anyone in this stupid tournament can stop us?
She shakes her Most Valuable Head.
Aubrianna Powers: No…see, this tournament is just a bunch of stupid red tape. Everyone knows that in the end Trinity will win it all. No one has what it takes to stop us. Especially not two clowns like Strike 2 Kill. They can take their best shot, but their best isn’t good enough against Simply The Best, against The Most Valuable Tag Team in this tournament. It won’t be enough against Trinity.
Brooke steps forward
Brooke Cartwright: AND this is why this match is SO IMPORTANT for us! Strike 2 Kill, More like ONES 2 CRUMBLE against the most beautiful group that Zion Wrestling has seen! NEITHER ONE OF YOU have no idea and I mean, NO IDEA on what is going to happen to you TONIGHT!
Brooke stands forward
Brooke Cartwright: and when everything is all set and done, and just like our opponents in the past, Strike 2 Kill will know these three words
Valentina steps up.
Valentina Skye: And that’s… Bend…The…. knee!!
All four of them walk out for the next round match up.
MATCH #4: STRIKE 2 KILL VS TRINITY
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL MATCH
Liam Richardson and Valentina Skye start the match off for their teams as they lock up! Richardson has confidence in his abilities here, but he’s quickly taken aback by Skye’s immense strength! She pushes him back into the corner, as the referee calls for them to split! The two eventually part, but not before Skye reaches out and catches Richardson with a smack to the face! Skye backs off of Richardson, who comes up on her with a fire in his eyes until she bails from the ring! Skye tries to keep ducking him, but Miles Watson doesn’t make that possible, jumping off the apron and hitting her with a Meteora! This prompts Aubrianna Powers to hop off the apron and begin duking it out with him, the fight going all across ringside until the official hops out of the ring to break it up!
It’s at this point that Skye climbs back into the ring, ducking a Clothesline attempt from Richardson before sending a swift Kick to his groin that buckles him! She follows up, sending him to the ropes and nailing him with a Big Boot before pinning for the two! Skye pulls Richardson to his feet, tagging in Powers before pinning his arms behind his back! Powers starts to lay in, nailing him with repeated Kicks to the midsection as Richardson continues to cry out in pain! Powers eventually sets up for the Superkick, but Richardson is able to get out of the way, causing her to nail Skye with the kick instead! Powers looks down at what she’s done, with Richardson nailing her over the head with a Spinning Backfist! Powers buckles to a knee, with Richardson hitting the ropes and nailing an Enziguri! Pin by Richardson for the two count!
Richardson quickly tags in Watson, with the two getting Powers up and sending her to the ropes for a double team move! But Skye comes in with the save, pulling Powers under the ropes and to safety! Watson doesn’t let this fly, going for the ropes and leaping over with a Tope Con Hilo! He throws Powers back into the ring before looking for a Soccer Kick! But Powers dodges, before hitting the Most Valuable Kick (Reverse Roundhouse Kick)! She tags in Skye, who gets Watson up for the Suns Out! But Watson reverses, going for the Victory Roll! Powers tries to come back to break it up, but Richardson gets in the way! They’ve done it, Watson gets the three count!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…Strike! 2! Kill!
Before Watson and Richardson can celebrate, Delilah Hill and Brooke Cartwright both storm the ring, laying into the pair like a couple of wild animals! Soon Skye and Powers join in, making it a four-on-two assault!
Winter Mae: Oh come on! You guys lost! Get over it!
Kyle Cassidy: You’ve been working here longer than I have, Winter! You should know by now this slimy snakes never know how to get over anything!
Winter Mae: Someone needs to do something about this!
Just then, “Short Change Hero” by The Heavy begins to play over the speakers! The crowd comes to life with speculation over who could be coming to the ring! It’s Mark Storm, flanked closely by Takashi Shinobu! The rest of Heroes For Hire are here!
Kyle Cassidy: Looks like your prayers are being answered, Winter! Here comes Heroes For Hire for the rescue!
Storm and Shinobu slide into the ring, with Trinity taking off at the sight of them! The four are clearly in as much shock as everyone else to see them, with their eyes shot with horror as they back up the entrance ramp!
Winter Mae: I never thought I’d see the day, but it looks like Heroes For Hire have reunited here in Zion Wrestling!
Storm, Shinobu, Richardson, and Watson all stand together in the ring as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (VICTORY ROLL)
MELIANA RODRIGO: Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the Internet Champion… Dinah Wolfe!
Dinah steps into the cameras frame, smiling softly as her championship is laid across her right shoulder. One hand holds onto the front of it, holding it in a secure position as she gives a nod of a greeting.
DINAH WOLFE: Thanks for having me, Meliana. Might I just say, that is a fabulous dress you’re wearing.
Meliana thanks Dinah with a small bow of her head before getting right into things.
MELIANA RODRIGO: The past few weeks, you’ve been dealing with Jack Morrison. It seems like he’s simply not through with you yet. Any comments on that issue?
Dinah merely chuckles, shaking her head as she glances at the gold on her shoulder before back to the other woman.
DINAH WOLFE: Jack is a mere roadblock in the way of those who are actually deserving of a chance at my championship. I earned this fair and square and the last I checked? Well, he’s not the one holding it.
MELIANA RODRIGO: Are you saying Jack is undeserving of a shot?
DINAH WOLFE: I’m saying he’s going to have to do a lot more than show up during my matches and mouth off to management about what he feels he’s earned. All bark and no bite makes Jacky a dull boy. If he so badly wants a shot at me? Well, he’s going to have to try a hell of a lot harder.
Dinah offers a gentle smirk, patting the championship on her shoulder as the crowd cheers in response.
MELIANA RODRIGO: And what about other challengers? Is there anyone you have your eye on at the moment?
DINAH WOLFE: There’s plenty of well deserving talent on this roster who I’ve had my eye on. But, I can’t speak on what if’s. I’d rather speak in absolutes. For instance, the one absolute is that I plan on holding onto this for as long as I can and anyone who gets in my way will easily be knocked down. Plain and simple.
MELIANA RODRIGO: How do you plan on shaping the foundation of the Internet Championship now that it’s in your possession?
DINAH WOLFE: Well, Mel’. Can I call you Mel? You see, I plan on being a fighting champion like those before me. But, perhaps that much better. I want to be one of the very best around and that means taking on any challenger put before me. I want to make sure I’m defending this as much as I can no matter the obstacles ahead of me.
MELIANA RODRIGO: And do you have any words for Jack after these past few weeks?
DINAH WOLFE: I’ve said all I need to say about Jack. I just hope he gives me something worthy of watching tonight. However, I do want to wish him good luck. I’m sure he’ll have a few tricks up his sleeve and I hope he doesn’t disappoint me.
Dinah grins cheekily, nodding and mouthing a thank you to Meliana before walking out of the frame of the camera as the scene fades to black.
MATCH #5: GRIFFIN HAWKINS VS HAYUMI YAMAMOTO
This match kicks off as Yamamoto immediately jumps Hawkins in the corner! She lays into him with some really well measured kicks to the midsection before tossing him to the center of the ring at the referee’s orders! She sets up in the corner as Hawkins gets to his knees, nailing him with a Soccer Kick before going for the pin! Hawkins kicks out at two, with the frustration on Yamamoto’s face getting all the more visible as she pulls him off the mat! She looks for a Suplex, only for Hawkins to reverse with a few shots to the midsection to keep her from going for the lift! He quickly adjusts and makes a move on his own, dropping her on the mat with a Scoop Slam! He follows up, hitting the ropes as Yamamoto sits up and going for a Penalty Kick! Pin by Hawkins for the two!
Hawkins gets Yamamoto to her feet, looking for a Swinging Neckbreaker! But Yamamoto slips out of it, instead nailing him with a European Uppercut! She drives him back a few more until he’s cornered! Yamamoto follows up on this, nailing Hawkins with a Knife Edge Chop! She rushes to the opposite corner to follow up, but Hawkins follows her in, nailing her with a Knee Strike against the turnbuckles! He gets the upper hand now, nailing Yamamoto with the Swinging Neckbreaker that eluded him earlier! Hawkins wastes no time in trying to finish this one off, getting Yamamoto up and looking for the Glam Slam! But Yamamoto is able to dismount from him before he can hit the Michinoku Driver, sending him shoulder first into the ringpost!
Yamamoto looks for some help ending this one, with Lien Kamiya and Akira Fujimoto jumping into action! Fujimoto hops on the apron, looking to distract the referee as Kamiya attempts to pass Yamamoto her signature Bokken! But Hawkins doesn’t allow it, catching the Bokken out of midair before clocking Kamiya with it to send her off the apron! He pivots, nailing Fujimoto with a Forearm to stop her distraction of the referee! This gives Yamamoto the chance to strike, nailing him from behind before looking for the Scissor Kick! But Hawkins dodges, nailing Yamamoto with Shot In The Dark (Superkick)! Pin by Hawkins, but the count ends, along with the match, the moment Lien Kamiya and Akira Fujimoto jump into the ring to pounce on him!
Hebi No Rengo had no concern for the match by this point, with the three now getting together to stomp out Hawkins in a three-on-one assault! Eventually, “Falling Apart” by Zebrahead begins to play, with Robert Kaiden Oakley rushing down to the ring! He slides into the ring, aiming at anyone standing with his belt as the three begin to scramble! He helps Hawkins to his feet, with the two finally getting on the same page and sharing a handshake as we fade!
RESULT: DISQUALIFICATION
The cameras fade back to the ring and we can see Oliver Peters stood in the ring, microphone in hand.
Oliver Peters: “MORRISON! Look… I’m keeping this shit short and sweet… you want to sit there and claim that it’s ‘No Big Deal? Just Business?’... fuck you. I’m here telling you now that this is personal. I’m in the twilight of my career, so anyone that comes along and fucks me out of what I’m doing to try and further this? I take it personally. Fuck you. Get out here so we can fucking HANDLE this business.”
There’s a moment of silent tension as the crowd waits for some kind of response. Any response really. It doesn’t seem to be coming.
Winter Mae: “I don’t think The Ripper is interested in giving Oliver Peters the time of day.”
Kyle Cassidy: “He said, two weeks ago, that this wasn’t about him. It’s about—”
And before Kyle Cassidy can finish his words, a voice rings out from the PA.
“SLEEPS SOCIETY!!!!!”
As “Sleeps Society” by While She Sleeps rips through the arena, Jack “The Ripper” Morrison comes out on stage, looking far less than amused at first. He’s already got his ring gear on, only tonight he’s opted to come without his jacket and, instead, is wearing one of his “Ripper King” merch line shirts instead. As always, Shiro’s right there with him, following close behind.
Kyle Cassidy: “Here comes the Ripper King, Winter!”
Winter Mae: “He doesn’t look happy, but Oliver Peters looks even less so. I’m almost weary of how this is gonna turn out.”
Jack makes it to the ring and steps through the ropes, brushing right past Oliver with barely even a glance in his direction. Shiro hangs back in a corner and the crowd grows tense as Jack reaches for a microphone, snatching it from Vivian Blake before turning back to Oliver as his music cuts off. He looks at Oliver Peters…and sighs.
Jack Morrison: “Ollie…Ollie…Ollie, Ollie, Ollie. Why are you out here mate? I told you before it wasn’t personal but you’re choosing to make it personal. Why? What are you gonna gain from any of this? You said so, yourself. You’re in the twilight of your career. So, I ask again. Why?”
Olly laughs at the question, before turning to face Morrison.
Oliver Peters: “You want an answer, ‘mate’? Here’s your answer. You fucked me out of an opportunity at a belt that you like to think is rightfully yours. Newsflash for ya, kid. It ain’t… and actually… while I’ve got you here.”
Oliver takes a step forward towards The Ripper. Staring a hole through him.
Oliver Peters: “I’m gonna make it my lifes fucking mission to make sure it never will be. Because you fucked up, ‘mate’. You decided to fuck with my chances at furthering my legacy, and righting wrongs that happened in the past. The last time I held gold in Zion it was taken from me before I really got started. So you can sit there all you want and try to claim that this shit isn’t personal… but I’m telling you right here… right now… man to fucking man.”
And another step forward.
Oliver Peters: “I took it personally.”
Jack stands, unmoving, as Oliver approaches; just staring right back at him. A couple of times he cracks a small smirk and motions to the crowd: ‘this guy.’ When Oliver finishes speaking, Jack lets the silence stretch for a moment, rubbing his beard. Contemplating.
Jack Morrison: “Well then, I can see we’ve got similar feelings on the matter. Only, here’s the one little difference.”
He brings up an index finger, about to make his point then motions it towards Oliver.
Jack Morrison: “You’re wrong. Shut up! I’m not finished!”
He says this last part to the crowd who immediately starts to jeer and boo him.
Jack Morrison: “You’re wrong, because, see, the title you barely had your hands on wasn’t the Internet Championship. It wasn’t. No no, see the way I understand it is you were in line for the National Championship. The title that you once held…but now you don’t. I can understand you wanting it back and I can understand you feeling a little…shall we say “frustrated” with the big wigs above shuffling us all around and what not, but the true fact of the matter is that while you may think you got screwed? I know I did! And anyone who knows me knows I don’t take being slighted from anyone in any sense. You wanna right your wrongs, Oliver? Jumping ahead in line for a championship ain’t the way to do it. It’s just a quick and easy way to get yourself hurt.”
Now it’s Jack who steps forward, putting him and Oliver directly nose to nose as the crowd grows tense, waiting to see what happens next. Olly takes a couple moments, letting it all sink in, before he begins to speak again.
Oliver Peters: “You wanna talk facts, Morrison? Fine. I know I got fucked out of my belt. You’re just upset that you got beaten out by some snakepunks wife. Newsflash, I can’t challenge for the national title, it’s on another show. So… you fucked me out of a chance at redemption… and we all saw what I did to the last punk kid that tried to do just that… so how do you wanna play this, Jacky boy? Huh?”
Oliver begins to slowly circle Morrison as he continues to speak.
Oliver Peters: “Maybe I’ll fight you… maybe I’ll even fight your boy Shiro… or maybe… just maybe… I’ll go after that sorry bitch Calaway that you’re hanging around with… because… as I told you, Jacky boy… I’m taking this… very… very personally… and I know what makes you tick, Morrison. I started in this industry while you were still shitting yourself in diapers… so what’s it gonna be, son?”
There’s a pause as Jack’s head falls. His shoulders begin to shake before he looks up at Olly…laughing.
Jack Morrison: “Well played, mate. Well played. Is that supposed to scare me? Is that supposed to be you getting into my head? You’ll go after Shiro, here?”
He points to Shiro over in the corner who’s still just leaning back with a smug, shit eating grin on his face.
Jack Morrison: “You’ll go after Alex? Do you expect me to jump like a white knight in shining armor to the defense of two able bodied people who are more than capable of handling their own business? Nah, see Olly, I know about you. I know the type of man you are. That’s right, I know all about the last punk kid that you dealt with. But that was part of your redemption wasn’t it? Your own son. Your own flesh and blood. The whole world saw what kind of a man Olly Peters is at Destiny when you left your boy beaten and broken in this very ring. That’s the kind of man you are. That’s the kind of people that Oliver Peters and his estranged wife Caitlyn are, everyone!”
He turns and motions to the crowd, ‘presenting’ Olly to them before turning right back to him, sharply.
Jack Morrison: “Bravo, Olly. Give yourself a pat on the back.”
Oliver Peters: “You wanna bring up Ryan? Fuck it. Let’s bring him up.”
Olly laughs, scratching his chin.
Oliver Peters: “You wanna bring up the fact he tried to break my fucking leg? Or… or how he did everything in his power to break my family? Or how he tried to end my fucking career Jack? Fuck that. That little shit got what was coming to him… and you’re gonna get what’s coming to you. So… here’s what I’m proposing to you… I want to fight. More specifically, I want to fight you. You can say no, but I’m still gonna fight you. You can say yes, and we can fight in a sanctioned matchup. What’s it gonna be?”
Jack Morrison: “Olly, Olly, Olly… You’re missing the entire point. This isn’t about you. It never was. Now, could it be down the line? Sure, mate. You want a fight so bad? I’m not one to shy away from one…but it’ll be when I say…and that time…is not…now. I’ve got another match here in a minute and frankly you’re cutting into my time, as well as these chums who paid good, hard earned money to see me do what I do best. Then, from there, my full, undivided attention is on a rematch for the Zion Internet Championship. Do ya hear that, Katrina Lopez? Dinah Wolfe, I know you’d better.”
Jack gives the camera a quick but good hard look before looking back to Olly.
Jack Morrison: “So, if you want a fight with me? I’ll call you. Until then, run along…”
Jack tosses the mic, letting it bounce off of Olly’s chest before it hits the mat and takes a step back from the man. The frustration can be seen in Olly’s face as he scowls at Jack and starts to lift the mic again but the sound of Shiro starting to run his mouth behind him brings Olly to turn around, putting his back to Jack and that’s when The Ripper swoops in and drives an arm up between his legs for a low blow and the crowd lets Morrison hear just how they feel about it!
Kyle Cassidy: “Oh come on! That was a cheap shot!”
Winter Mae: “I hate it say it, Kyle, but Jack Morrison’s not the type of man you turn your back on!”
Jack’s not finished just yet, as he backs up from Olly, who’s down on his knees reeling from the shot. Adding insult to injury, Jack rushes in and delivers Dear Boss (Hidden Blade) across the back of Peters’ head, sending him down to the mat. Jack quickly stands over him as the fans rain down the hate, staring down at Olly with a sudden unsettling malice in his eyes. He steps back when the referees come in to help Olly from the ring, all the while chiding Jack for his actions.
Winter Mae: “Absolutely disgusting behavior by that man, right there!”
Kyle Cassidy: “I can’t disagree, Winter, and from the sounds of it, neither can the people of Orlando!”
MATCH #6: JACK “THE RIPPER” MORRISON VS RUBY STEELE
Both competitors are in their respective corners and leave simultaneously, circling the ring and watching each other closely. They step into the center of the ring and lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up until Jack switches under the right arm into an Arm Wrench, then sweeps her down to the canvas applying a Side Headlock. The referee leans closer to the starting submission trend, and Jack squeezes harder on the head, putting so much weight on the smaller competitor, Ruby Steele.
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Winter Mae: Jack Morrison has the experience, the skills, and the overall advantage against Ruby Steele. Her keys to victory are her speed, variety of strikes, and high-flying offense, and she cannot allow Jack to continue the consistent grappling game.
Jack continues to mouth off to the fans at ringside, supporting Ruby as she reels her legs around his neck to pull him down, but Jack rolls around into another Side Headlock. Ruby yells for the referee not to call the match; She slides her head out and moves back onto her feet. Jack stands up and eats a Dropkick that plants him down to the canvas. He gets back onto his feet again, and she lands another Dropkick that puts him down on the mat; As he rises, he gets thrown down to the canvas again with a hurricanrana!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kyle Cassidy: Ruby Steele is executing the perfect game plan! She's not letting Jack get any offense for a second and is showing she has the heart to win!
Jack stands in the corner and leans back against the turnbuckles to see Gem charging forward for a Running Dropkick into his face! The impact makes the audience cheer, and Jack falls to the mat crawling on his hands and knees to the center of the ring. Ruby is already on the top rope, and she sees him standing, which gives her the cue to leap into the air until getting caught in his arms and planted down on the mat with a Michinoku Driver!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Winter Mae: Michinoku Driver! Ruby Steele was flying in the air, looking to end it, and Jack saw it coming from a mile away and landed a beautiful Michinoku Driver that planted her down on the canvas. Here comes the pin attempt!
ONE...!
TW-!
She kicks out from the pin attempt, but Jack continues the offense by dragging her back up to her feet. He lands a couple of Knee Strikes into her stomach that leave her bent forward, then has her in his grasp for a Stalling Suplex! Ruby sits up crying from the sheer pain, and Jack bluntly kicks between the solar plexes of her back, which makes the audience boo! He smirks at them before picking her up again and launching her into the nearest unoccupied, where her back gets slammed against the turnbuckles. Jack charges forward and drives his foot across his face from the Running Yakuza Kick that forces her down onto the canvas.
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Kyle Cassidy: Yakuza Kick! Jesus Christ! He's doing everything to make her neck suffer in this match! Here's another pin attempt!
ONE...!
TWO!
Jack sits up after Ruby repeatedly shoots her body from the pin attempt. He looks at the referee, who reaffirms the decision and gets back on his feet to drag her up by her hair; She breaks the hold to start a flurry of Forearm Blows followed by a Spinning Back Kick that leaves him bent forward. Ruby runs to the ropes behind her and rebounds back into his direction for a potential Meteora, but she gets caught on his shoulders for a vicious Powerbomb!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Winter Mae: Powerbomb! What does Ruby have to do to get the win?! Here comes the pin!
ONE...!
TWO....!
She shoots her body out and Jack is having enough of he resiliency. He quickly stands back up on his feet then has Ruby's legs in his grasp before turning her over onto her stomach then sits down on her spine for the Boston Crab! He drops all of his weight on her back in the center of the ring and Ruby stands on her hands yelling in pure agony as the official referee leans in closer to her status. He asks Ruby if she wants to give in but she shakes her head denying Jack the victory!
Crowd: PLEASE DON'T TAP! PLEASE DON'T TAP! PLEASE DON'T TAP! PLEASE DON'T TAP! PLEASE DON'T TAP!
Kyle Cassidy: The Boston Crab locked in the center of the ring and Ruby Steele has nowhere to go! Jack's been hounding her neck and back throughout the entire match so she may as well tap to prevent an injury!
Ruby's face is buried in the canvas and she's gritting her teeth. Jack pulls back more on the legs demanding for her to tap out but she refuses to give in despite the pressure; Instead, she pushes their combined weight by standing on her hands and tries to drag them to the ropes but Jack pulls her back into the center of the ring and sits down on her back again. Ruby fights through it, standing on her hands again and rolls forward on the mat allowing Jack to fall backwards but he rolls back onto his feet until eating a Tiger Feint Kick into his nose knocking them both down!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Winter Mae: Amazing counter by Ruby Steele, the Tiger Feint Kick! I know she's in a lot of pain but this is the perfect opportunity for her to get the momentum back on her side!
The audience of Orlando, Florida, are entirely behind Ruby as she stands up pumping her fist. Jack shakes his head and gets on his feet as well before turning around to an incoming Ruby Steele landing another Dropkick to his face! He gets blasted down to the canvas and gets up again eating another Dropkick planting him down. She runs to the ropes, moves to the apron and climbs to the top rope before leaping off for the Missile Dropkick blasting him into the canvas for the third time!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jack's crawling towards the center of the ring and Ruby falls against the turnbuckles in a corner. She sees him trying to stand up and runs to the ropes ahead of him before returning back to him standing on one knee for the signature Shining Wizard planting him down onto the mat!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Kyle Cassidy: SHINING WIZARD! SHE LANDED IT! PERFECT TIMING RUBY!
Winter Mae: OH MY GOD! PIN HIM! PIN HIM! PIN HIM!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Ruby falls down from the kick out and she takes a moment to rest on her side. She slaps the mat in anger and gets back on her feet calling for the match to end as she slowly drags Jack back up into a Double Arm DDT position. Suddenly, he twists his body out of the grapple then sidesteps into her for the Superkick that claps her jaw clean off his boot!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Kyle Cassidy: STABBING IN THE DARK! WE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT SUPERKICK BUT JACK MORRISON PULLED IT OUT OF NOWHERE!
Winter Mae: NO! NO! NO! NO!
It's unfortunate that Ruby suffered the kick and she falls into his grasp; Jack winks at the camera then sweeps Ruby Steele down to the canvas before locking in the finishing Anaconda Vice better known as Killing Them Softly. With the finishing submission in the center of the ring, Ruby immediately taps her hand on Jack's shoulder repeatedly giving the referee the cue to call for the match!
Vivian Blake: Here is your winner by submission, Jack Morrison!
Winter Mae: Jack Morrison defeats Ruby Steele as a response back to Dinah Wolfe. The submission victory is a warning to her that he will become the next Zion Wrestling Internet Champion. Ruby Stele had a great performance but Jack Morrison was just too much for her.
Kyle Cassidy: I hope Ruby Steele is okay and she nas nothing to be ashamed about her but Jack Morrison has proved why he's gunning for Dinah Wolfe. The impressive display of a performance he put on should put her on notice that Jack Morrison is back and looking to achieve great things by starting off with the Internet Championship.
RESULT: SUBMISSION (KILLING THEM SOFTLY)
We cut back to ringside as “Chin Check” by N.W.A ft. Snoop Dogg begins to play through the PA system as Eduardo Gutiérrez gangsta walks out onto the stage dressed in a pair of white sneakers, a pair of black baggy denim pants, his white “E-C-E G.W.A” T-shirt, a black short sleeved buttoned shirt with only the top button fastened, a purple bandanna covering his nose and mouth and a pair of black shades.
Winter Mae: What in the Hell is this kid doing? Who does he think he is? Eminem?
Kyle Cassidy: More like Vanilla Ice if you ask me, Winter.
Gutiérrez then squats down at the top of the ramp and “Chin Check” fades out before “Through The Never” by Metallica then blasts through the PA system as first Kara “Killer” Carbajal walks out onto the stage and stops in the center. From either side of her comes Miguel Ortiz and Zachary Porter and the trio walk forward to join Gutiérrez who then slowly stands back up and the four of them begin to make their way down the ramp as the fans boo heavily.
Winter Mae: Well now that we have whatever the Hell that was out of the way, these fans not showing The Void much love here tonight.
Kyle Cassidy: I honestly don’t think they care.
Once the group reach the bottom of the ramp, Carbajal swiftly slides her way under the bottom rope and into the ring while Ortiz pulls himself up onto the apron and climbs over the top rope. Meanwhile, Porter makes his way up the steel steps before climbing through the ropes as Gutiérrez makes his way around the ring towards ring announcer, Vivian Blake and proceeds to snatch the microphone out of her hand before he hops up onto the apron and climbs through the ropes to join his cohorts in the ring as “Through The Never” fades out.
E-C-E the G.W.A: Ayo, check it!
The fans boo hard as Carbajal scowls at the fans while Ortiz and Porter shake their heads in disgust.
E-C-E the G.W.A: What’s the matter, Orlando? Ya’ll look annoyed… you all mad coz you ain’t better than The Void…
The fans boo some more as the rest of The Void point out at them and laugh.
E-C-E the G.W.A: We got Miguel Ortiz, the big bad Mauler…
Gutiérrez points to Ortiz as he says this and the big man flexes and lets out a roar.
E-C-E the G.W.A: And a former World Champ in Zachary Porter…
Now the young Spaniard points to Porter who outstretches his arms and grins.
E-C-E the G.W.A: Of course not forgettin’ the Mamacita of Mayhem…
Gutiérrez points to Carbajal who smirks and just shrugs before all four of them then turn their attention to the stage.
E-C-E the G.W.A: Those perras in the back? We gonna straight up beat ‘em!
The young man then passes the microphone to Carbajal.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Oooooo! Ex Con Ed the Gutiérrez With Attitude spittin’ rhymes AND facts!
Carbajal puts her arm around Gutiérrez.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Gonna keep this short and sweet, because quite frankly? We’re not in the fucking mood tonight! So Razzles? Morgan? Nami? Get your asses out here so you can succumb to The Void!
KC then tosses the microphone out of the ring as the group prepare themselves for the arrival of their opponents.
Winter Mae: What in the Hell is this kid doing? Who does he think he is? Eminem?
Kyle Cassidy: More like Vanilla Ice if you ask me, Winter.
Gutiérrez then squats down at the top of the ramp and “Chin Check” fades out before “Through The Never” by Metallica then blasts through the PA system as first Kara “Killer” Carbajal walks out onto the stage and stops in the center.

KC then tosses the microphone out of the ring as the group prepare themselves for the arrival of their opponents.
Winter Mae: Some bold words from The Void ahead of tonight’s main event, but before we get to that we’ve got a few announcements, because near the top of the night we heard from The Undisputed Tag Team Champions, The Deathriders! They said they want a fight and want one now, and they’re willing to put their titles on the line next week against anyone!
Kyle Cassidy: Ever since they said that, Katrina Lopez’s DMs have been blowing up with team after team hoping to call their shot at The Riders’ gold! But one stood out above all others! Next week is gonna be a special treat, as The Skillz Vendorz make their way to Zion Wrestling to challenge for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships!
Winter Mae: But of course, while The Skillz Vendorz are waiting for them next week, a whole other team is waiting for them at SLAYcation, and next week, we’ll get one step closer to finding out what team that is! We’re now in Semi-Finals territory, as BFG will take on Strike 2 Kill to see who will represent Mayhem in the Finals of the Undisputed Tag Team Championship Tournament!
Kyle Cassidy: That match is sure to be epic, but speaking of Strike 2 Kill, I’m sure we’re all still in shock over the reappearance of Mark Storm and Takashi Shinobu after they made the save of their Heroes For Hire brothers earlier tonight! None more so than Trinity, who have decided to nip their little hero problem in the bud! Next week, Mark Storm makes his return as he takes on Delilah Hill of Trinity!
Winter Mae: And in some late breaking news, he asked, and the GM answered! Jack “The Ripper” Morrison gets his wish when in next week’s Main Event, he will challenger Dinah Wolfe for the Internet Championship!
Kyle Cassidy: Jack Morrison cut a lot of corners to get this opportunity again, he better make it worth it next week! That’s gonna be a hell of a Main Event, but so is this one! Let’s get to it!

Winter Mae: The Void have been on the Mayhem roster for three weeks…Three weeks, and they have already managed to find a way to get into problems with the rest of the roster! How do you feel about that, Kyle?
Kyle Cassidy: That’s they’re game, Winter! They live for confrontation! The four of them know that you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet, and that’s exactly what they’re doing! What I don’t think was a good idea was inciting the wrath of the three women they stand across the ring from tonight! This match should be an interesting watch!
Kara Carbajal volunteers to start things off for her team, with Payne, Megumi, and Mars all still deciding! Payne eventually gets a glimpse at the other side of the ring, seeing that Carbajal is starting this one off! This prompts her to break away from the group, staring daggers straight through Killer as Mars and Megumi realize what’s going on and gleefully step back to let Payne start! The crowd begins to wind up now, with Payne and Carbajal staring down one another! It’s clear to see that the fans very much wanna see this one, but anyone who knows Carbajal knows she doesn’t care what the fans want! To that effect, she tags in Miguel Ortiz drawing ire from those fans as she steps onto the apron with a smile!
Payne adjusts to her new dance partner, circling the ring with him before going in for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Ortiz gets the upper hand at the offset, twisting Payne’s arm with a Wristlock! She seems to be in trouble here, but she finds a way out, rolling forward to unwring her arm before catching him with a Wristlock of her own! She looks to follow up, going for an Irish Whip into the corner! But Ortiz’s size is too much to overcome, as he manages to resist Payne’s force and push her back into the corner with a Shoulder Thrust! He nearly cuts her in half against the turnbuckles with Shoulder Thrusts before he throws her into his corner! He tags in Zachary Porter before pinning her into the corner! Porter lets loose, nailing Payne with a few Stomps to the midsection as she’s held up defenseless! Payne staggers out of the corner, with Porter hitting the ropes and connecting with a Slingblade! He goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Payne! Porter gets to his feet, immediately turning his gaze to Razzles Mars in the corner! He begins to taunt his future championship opponent, knowing that she won’t illegally exit the corner to do anything about it! He turns his attention back to Payne, only to realize she’s rolled out of the ring! Mars smiles at him, slowly entering the ring to become the legal competitor in this match! Porter begins to back away, rolling out of the ring to leave Mars to come face to face with Kara Carbajal! Mars looks right up at the physically imposing women, with the two talking trash! Before it can come to blows however, Payne bursts into the ring, nailing Carbajal with a Superkick! The whole scene becomes chaotic in a hurry, with Ortiz coming in and nailing Payne with a Big Boot! He looks to send her into the corner with an Irish Whip, but she reverses with one of her own, sending Ortiz right into a Flying European Uppercut from Nami Megumi!
Porter takes advantage of this, tossing Payne out of the ring! He taunts her from next to the ropes, turning around to catch a Dropkick from Razzles Mars that sends him toppling out of the ring! Mars hits the ropes now, leaping out of the ring and nailing Porter with a Suicide Dive! Carbajal runs towards Mars at ringside, only to be caught by a Diving Crossbody from Morgan Payne off the apron! Ortiz tries for it now, only to be knocked down by a Diving Hurricanrana from Nami Megumi! Mars and Payne are almost taken aback by how much Megumi has gotten fired up, inviting her to toss Ortiz into the ring and make the two of them legal! She take full advantage of this, waiting in the corner for Ortiz to make it up to his feet to nail him with Ryo No Ikari! Superkick connects! Pin by Megumi!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Ortiz! The Cosmic Bird is undeterred however, slowly climbing to the top rope and looking to hit Ortiz with the Tidal Wave! She flips through the air for the 630 Senton, but Carbajal catches her right out of the sky in a Powerbomb position! She raises her up, before tossing her right into an oncoming Razzles Mars to send them both out of the ring! Just then, however, Morgan Payne rushes in to stop her, becoming the legal competitor in this match as she hops on Carbajal’s back with a Sleeper Hold! Carbajal looks to be fading, falling to a knee as Payne wrenches the move in tighter! But Porter doesn’t let her stay in it for too long, running in and dropping Payne off her back with a Blockbuster!
Porter sees his chance, taking to the top rope before leaping for Paradise Lost! Payne rolls out of the way however, leaving Porter to roll to the mat to avoid crashing and burning! He rushes towards Payne to recover, but she nails him in the midsection before hitting The Art of Ruin! Stone Cold Stunner connects! Porter tumbles out of the ring, with Payne getting up to a Spear by Kara Cabarjal! Killer hits her signature Spear! Carbajal gets to her hands and knees, laughing at the destruction caused by her! She doesn’t realize she’s left vulnerable however, with Nami Megumi running in and hitting Call from the Nature! Robinson Special connects!
Megumi looks to end this one, waiting for Carbajal to start getting up before going for the Tsunami! But Miguel Ortiz catches her mid-run throwing her to the mat with a Half-Nelson Suplex! Ortiz stalks his prey to finish this one off, only to be caught with a Superkick from Razzles Mars! Ortiz falters a bit, before ultimately fixing his gaze on Mars! He advances towards her, only to be hit with Ryo No Ikari by Nami Megumi! He falters back even more, with Mars and Megumi nodding to each other before hitting him with 2 Ryo No Ikari! Ortiz kneels against the ropes, with Mars taking to the apron before hitting the Mars-ipan Kablam! Slingshot DDT connects!
Mars looks to finish this one off, getting to the top rope in hopes of hitting the Peppermint Twist! But just before she looks to launch off, Eduardo Gutiérrez gets himself involved, clinging to the Undisputed Champion’s foot to keep her from diving! This eventually works out, with Zachary Porter now rushing in and nailing Mars with a Superplex! He quickly takes to the top rope, before launching off and hitting her with Paradise Lost! Diving Double Foot Stomp connects! Pin by Porter, with Ortiz and Carbajal holding the others back from getting into the ring!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…The! Void!
Winter Mae: With the help of some well timed shenanigans, The Void now steals another victory!
Kyle Cassidy: And with Zachary Porter pinning the Undisputed Champion, no less! He’s definitely gonna have a field day bragging about this, but can he do the same thing come SLAYcation?
Winter Mae: With three weeks to go, Razzles Mars has plenty of time to prepare so that the answer to that question is no, but for now that’s all the time we have! For Kyle Cassidy and Zion Wrestling, I’m Winter Mae, wishing you all a wonderful night!
All four members of The Void stand in the ring with their arms raised, very visibly wearing the damage of this match! They smile as they gaze upon a laid out Razzles Mars, the camera occasionally cutting to ringside to see the perturbed and angry reactions of Nami Megumi and Morgan Payne respectively as we fade to black!

Kyle Cassidy: And with Zachary Porter pinning the Undisputed Champion, no less! He’s definitely gonna have a field day bragging about this, but can he do the same thing come SLAYcation?
Winter Mae: With three weeks to go, Razzles Mars has plenty of time to prepare so that the answer to that question is no, but for now that’s all the time we have! For Kyle Cassidy and Zion Wrestling, I’m Winter Mae, wishing you all a wonderful night!
All four members of The Void stand in the ring with their arms raised, very visibly wearing the damage of this match!
