After the first chorus of “Unbreakable” by Of Mice & Men finishes, we cut to the inside of the new Zion Wrestling Stadium, where streaks of blue and white pyro goes off over a stage lined with fire! The pyro settles, with the lights coming up to reveal a sold out crowd!
Amber Westgate: After a huge and revelatory SLAYcation, we are BACK in Zion Wrestling Stadium to conclude another week of action! Welcome to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Amber Westgate and I’m joined by my partner in crime, Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: SLAYcation was fun, but tonight has just a little more action with a lot less sand! It’s gonna be a big one! We got the debut of Shazzah Nasty as she goes one on one with Tajnia Mustafi, as well as another qualifying match for the five-on-five tag team match at The Foundations of Decay between Elijah Copeland and Blaze Darling!
Amber Westgate: Not to mention a Undisputed Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Match between Code Black and The House of Wolves! Plus in our Main Event, we have Nadia Allen and Melody Slayton, going head to head to end their huge trilogy of matches! That’s all coming to you tonight, as we’re just minutes away from our opening match between Legion and VixSin!
As the opening of Zion fades out and we cut to the arena, we get the usual stuff. The pyro, the crowd shots, and then we begin to hear “How I Disappear” by My Chemical Romance begins to play and the crowd pops, and Kasey Kash walks out with a massive grin on his face. He looks out over the crowd and begins to walk down the ramp and into the ring, going over to the time keeper and asks for a microphone. He gets it and looks around over the crowd… before bringing the microphone to his lips and saying his first words since returning.
”...So… what do you guys wanna talk about?”
The crowd cheer for Kasey, which is an unusual reaction but one he loves nonetheless.
”It’s uhh… it’s been a little while, hasn’t it? You guys haven’t heard me speak publicly on a promotion since the show before I lost my belt, even then it was… it was pretty much a whole different tone in the way i was talkin to you guys, and to the person I was talking to… the person who beat me for my belt, Razzles Mars. Someone I couldn’t be more fuckin proud of.”
Kasey smiles, before scratching his chin and continuing.
”So… lemme talk to ya.”
The crowd pop for this again and Kasey starts laughing, loving this reaction.
”I know I have a lot to explain, right? Like we heard Adam say on commentary when I returned, this hasn’t been Kasey Kash’s show in a while… so why make the jump now?… and lemme tell you all that the answer is pretty fuckin simple when we get down to brass tacks… legacy. My legacy. You see the fact of the matter is this. I am the longest standing OG in Zion. Sure people were here longer than me, like Legion and… uhh… someone else I forget, but they’ve left and come back… and the only way I’m leaving this company for good is in a fucking body bag.”
The crowd love this and Kasey begins to circle the inside of the ring, with his arms out wide.
”Tell me when I’m telling lies, Orlando! You all have the voice here. I’m talking to everyone at home, and everyone in this arena right now when I tell you all a couple facts. Starting with the fact that I had the single greatest run with the Undisputed Championship that this company had ever seen. Fact. I defended that belt each and every week up to the build to my match with Razzles. Fact. I now hold the longest reigning and most defenses record with that championship… and that brings me to Jordan Majors.”
Kasey scratches his chin as he thinks about his next words.
”Jordan, you’re one of the best going in Zion today. There is no doubt about it. You’re also holding the one thing that is standing between myself and the history books once more. I’m tryna do what Zack Porter and his dollar tree Murk Squad are attempting to do… I want to be the first in Zion history to win the World and Undisputed Championships… and that’s where you come into the frame, Jordan… so I know that you have every right in the world to turn down this challenge… but again, Orlando… tell me when I’m telling lies here… I don’t think that’s the type of champion you’ve proved yourself to be. I’m laying out the challenge to you, Jordan. I want a shot at your World Championship… and you better believe that if you choose to accept? I’m gonna give you every ounce of violent venom that’s running through my motherfucking veins!”
Kasey looks dead in the hardcam as he says that, before looking around at the arena and holding his arms out wide as his theme plays, before he rolls out of the ring and walks up the stage, before then crowd diving into the fans, and the scene fades with Kasey in amongst the Zion faithful who are cheering and celebrating.
The scene opens on the angelic face of Devyn Mitchell.
Devyn Mitchell: Please welcome Maki Megumi and the current Zion Hardcore Champion, ISIS.
ISIS and Maki walk into the scene to a chorus of boos. On this day, both women are dressed lady-like. Devyn first focuses her attention on ISIS.
Devyn Mitchell: A lot of people are talking about how your Exploding Barbed Wire match ended. Some make the argument if it wasn’t for Maki interjecting herself, we would–
Immediately the God of Destruction cuts Devyn off.
ISIS: “Stop right there, Devyn.”
“Foolish mortals, they assume they know what is meant to be. Oh what if this, what if that, there are no what ifs in this world. Only what actually happens. Their emotions blind them to reality. Poor Ayu right? Well, what about poor Maki?
ISIS looks at Maki. She pats The Fallen Angel on the shoulder. The Orlando crowd shows no sympathy for the former tag team champion. ISIS continues.
ISIS: “When the old man walked out on Zion Wrestling, did anyone give any consideration to how that would affect the best Megumi in the business? Of course not. Maki, like me once upon a time, was abandoned by people she thought cared about her. For weeks she was without purpose. Without any real goal. Kai Morgan forgot all about the most talented member of the Megumi family. I’ll tell you who didn’t forget. Me. Fate gave me a message, it told me to give Maki a chance to showcase to the world who the best in her family truly is. And in return, all I ask from Maki is to know who her God is. This fallen angel is fallen no more. She’s home where she belongs… my Angel of Destruction.”
ISIS smiles. So does Maki. The Orlando faithful don't share their same optimism.
ISIS: For a year I walked alone. I have destroyed everyone in my wake. Fate demanded I include more souls on my quest to unleash an untold amounts of destruction upon the Zion roster. No God stands alone forever. Maki is the first who realizes all the events in her life brought her to me. Together Zion will know the true meaning of the end times.”
The boos are fierce as the crowd comes to grips with how much ISIS has lost her mind. Devyn turns to Maki.
Devyn Mitchell: “Is this true? Do you acknowledge ISIS as a God? Why do you hate your sister so much?
Maki Megumi: Why I hate them so much? Because I was never an important person... Never, unlike Nami and even Ayu, who took everything away from me. I don't think that's a question because it's a very stupid question. As everyone can see everyone here hated me from the first day I arrived here. I didn't get the love I deserved like my two worthless sisters. That's why I've answered many times why I hate Nami and Ayu so much. And yes I know ISIS is God to give me a chance. Of course, that is why I decided to be loyal to ISIS. I would be foolish if I were to let this opportunity slip through my hands. I am with God now. i work for god And it will help me get more attention.
The audience isn’t happy with the answer Maki gave. Devyn turns to ISIS.
Devyn Mitchell: “One more question, ISIS. What’s next for you? Anyone stand out as a potential challenge for the Hardcore Championship?”
ISIS: “A small word of advice for Quinn. She should be more worried about Legion gutting her client like a fish than any potential Hardcore Championship prospects. I don’t care what she wants. God answers to no mortal. I call the shots. I choose who the hunted is. You’ll find out who Fate decrees when the rest of the world does.”
ISIS grabs Maki by the hand. She leads her away leaving Devyn alone as the scene fades to black.
OPENING CONTEST: LEGION VS VIXSIN
WINNER: LEGION
RESULT: PINFALL (SHATTERED REALMS)
We hear Jessi Ozborne's theme, "Bones Exposed" begin to play, as we see Daria walking out after a brief playing of the theme, and the crowd booing at her while she laughed at their expense, and has the song cut off with a wave over her throat, as she spoke out.
Daria Dorsey
"Don't you just hate that song? But, don't you worry… "Papi" isn't going to be here for a long time. But, hey! It gives her plenty of time to hang out with her parents… oh right…"
She said with a devious smile, as there were boos from Jessi's fanbase in the crowd, while waiting for them to quiet down and speak again.
Daria Dorsey
"But, hey… just like all the deadbeat dads that abandoned us in our lives, Jessi isn't here for us. But, you know who's always been here? Me. I've carried this company since day 1! I was the one who spearheaded our war against NFW, and beat their champ, Adrianna Salvatore! And now, Kasey's merry band of jabronis want to walk on the doorstep of the house that the Zenith built?!"
She shouted rhetorically, agitated about the upcoming crossover show coming up.
Daria Dorsey
"Well, maybe you should have paid attention to Jessi, because you square up to me, the same thing is going to happen to you. My old mentor was way too charitable to the business, because I don't care about fighting these losers. Put me, an actual star, in the ring against them, it would be like putting prime Mike Tyson across the ring from Arin Hanson. I will take your arms, and I will take your legs and leave you with life in Hell! It doesn't matter /who/ XIX throws at me, it's just like them diving head first into a wood chipper. I'm gonna destroy them, and for that, Zion Stadium… you're welcome."
Daria stated, as there was a mixed reaction from the crowd, as of course they would support their star, even if she was an absolute bitch about it. She would make her way out, with the sounds of the opening hook of "Still" triggering her exit.
As Fusion had came back on the air, the feed had focused back towards the screen where there was a video playing. It started by showing a fire that was seemingly roaring for minutes, crackling as time passed. The room was barely illuminated by the amber flames, seemingly a room in a basement or an area where there wasn't much window light or any light at all. It took a few more moments for footsteps to be heard, but they filled the crackling silence of the room followed by the camera focusing over to a woman that was dressed in a fully white suit, including the dress shirt and even gloves to go with them. The camera had panned out to show that the person in the room was Hana Kaneko. She wouldn't look towards the camera, she just set up a chair next to the fire and sat down, looking down at it but made sure to speak loud enough to be heard.
“Hello, Fusion. All of Zion, really. I've been here for. . .maybe a year now? Almost. But yet this is the first time I've really allowed my voice to be heard this clearly. I've never wanted to open myself up, and maybe that's hurt me sometimes. I guess this is my somewhat formal introduction. My name is Hana Kaneko. You could know me as a few things, I guess. Golden Flower, Sumiyoshi-Kai's Oyabun, Former member of ONI, former Viral Champion, but recently things have gone. . .pretty silent. Like this room, you could say.”
For just a moment, Hana looked up at the camera. Waving, even. She didn't really have a readable expression on her face, even if she did the flame wasn't enough to expose it. She got up again, walking around for a second until she had grabbed something from a table. A multicolored Oni mask that she would wear during her entrance.
“Let me tell you a little bit about my life, first. I was left to myself at a very young age because life is one cruel bitch. But, so am I. I have been training in combat since I was eight years old. And now here I am, almost 40 years of age. So why am I here? I love to do this. Of course, I have another job that I can't exactly speak about, but wrestling is just a special thing. Even if sometimes, you make friends and you lose friends. I can't really say I've had friends here. Just. . .allies. Temporary ones, at that. At some point ONI just drifted to our own ways and never to be seen as allies again.”
With a sigh, she had thrown that mask into the fire, watching it smoke up and burn which didn't take long due to how hot the flame was.
“Well, that's enough about story time and leaking out my story. There's a reason why I wanted to have this time today. See, I've had my eyes on a few people of the Fusion roster, but there's one in specific that I've wanted to face off with for a very long time.”
Hana had reached into the inside of her suit jacket, pulling out an 8x10 picture of a blonde woman that would eventually be revealed as Ayu Megumi. Hana took a look at the picture, a grin coming over her face that had evil intent behind it. She showed the picture to the camera.
“Ayu Megumi. I notice that these last few weeks for you haven't been the most fun. You know, you've been having so much trouble with ISIS, and you failed. Your own sister had a hand in you losing that. Maki doesn't even like you, and I can't image how tough that is. Well, now you know that I don't like you too much either. I see the way you go around this place, acting like everything is sunshine, rainbows, bright skies, when everything is crumbling around you and you're too nearsighted to even realize that.”
Hana then took a second to take a pocket knife out of her pocket, soon stabbing the eyes of of the picture. She would then bring the picture up to the flame, letting it fall and burn there while again she just watched as it happened.
“I just don't like or understand people like you, Ayu. Why are you such a naive little bitch? I want to show you that in reality, life is just as dark and as cold as I am. In general, you're going to find out one thing. The Hana Kaneko you all knew before? She's easily a shell of what I plan to show now. I don't want to hold myself back anymore. I know some people are going to cheer this and some people are going to boo this, and that's fine by me. All I can say to the fans and to the rest of the Fusion roster is that I'm not going to be in the shadows like this anymore. Starting today, I'm stepping out and I'm not going to be quiet anymore.
. . .
and you, Ayu? If you have a problem with anything that I've said, we can easily settle this how things are meant to be settled. We can talk back and forth, or we can wrestle. Or, I can make you suffer the same fate that the people that took my life away got. The ball is in your court. I have nothing else to say, really. The next time you see Hana Kaneko after this will be back in the ring. The only question is, who's going to be dumb enough to step to an Oyabun? I'll turn you into ashes in the wind.”
Hana had gotten up against, walking away from the scene as the fire had began to burn out, leaving the room to complete darkness and silence where all that remained was the blankness of the room. It didn't take too long before the feed had cut away and transitioned to the next event on the show.
MATCH #2: VLADISLAV VS THE BALL
VLADISLAV doesn’t waste any time with The Ball here, rushing over and laying waste to him with a Big Boot before the poor jobber even has a chance to do any of his schtick! He pulls The Ball up to his feet, driving straight to the mat with a Clothesline! He pulls The Ball up again, driving him to the mat again with a second Clothesline! The crowd begin to keep count now, as VLADISLAV continues to pull The Ball up to his feet just to drive him back down with Clotheslines! The count ends at 8, with VLADISLAV deciding to finally put the guy out of his misery as he picks him up and drops him with the Iron Curtain (Burning Hammer)! Pin by VLADISLAV, with the jobber very obviously not kicking out!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…VLADISLAV!
Amber Westgate: What a win by VLADISLAV in this…well, can you even call it a match?
Adam LaRue: I’d say if anything that was a mauling!
The bell rings and VLADISLAV gets his hand raised in victory. He then calls for a microphone and gets handed one, as a hush falls over the crowd. The man begins to speak in a thick Eastern European accent, but you are still able to hear what he’s saying.
VLADISLAV: I proved once more tonight why I am The Final Boss of the Professional Wrestling industry, and once more the bosses in Zion have given me an enhancement talent which only adds to my win column. I am not going to move from this ring until I am added to the next pay per view event that Zion Wrestling is having, against the promotion known as XIX Wrestling!
VLADISLAV holds his arms at his side, waiting for someone to come out and answer his demands.
VLADISLAV: I will sit out here and we will not move forward with the show tonight! I am demanding to be added to the pay per view, and will not move until such times that my demands are answered!
At that point, “Land Down Under” begins to play as Charlie Australia walks out! The crowd love Charlie, who gives everyone a high five with a smile on his face, before stepping into the ring, microphone in hand.
Charlie Australia: Look mate… first off allow me to say… struth! You’re a big one, ain’t ya? Your Mum must’ve fed you your weet bix when you was growin up, didn’t she? And second of all… I’m sorry mate but I can’t get you on the show. The card is pretty much set in stone at this point, and even if I could add more matches, they’re all champion versus champion, apart from the XIX versus Zion tag match, and both teams are already decided for that one, too! So… maybe next time, mate?
Charlie goes to leave, but VLADISLAV puts a hand on his shoulder, turning him around.
VLADISLAV: Then you will fight me.
Charlie laughs, before realizing that Vlad wasn’t kidding.
Charlie Australia: Look mate. Even if I wanted to, I’m retired. I’ve been retired for a long while now, mate. I have no intent on getting into the ring to fight again. So… sorry mate. But your request is not happening.
Charlie goes to leave, but Vlad doesn’t let go of his shoulder.
VLADISLAV: It was not a request, Mister Australia… you will be fighting me.
Charlie Australia: My answer is the same, little man. It ain’t happeni-
At that moment, VLADISLAV absolutely levels Charlie with a chop that would knock a tree out of the ground! Charlie falls to the mat and is clutching at his chest, and VLAD looks down on him, expressionless, picking him up and putting him in the corner, slapping him across the face twice, screaming in his face in Polish, before putting him on his shoulders! Looking to nail him with hi- NO! CHARLIE REVERSES IT, NAILING VLADISLAV WITH A DDT, CHARLIES OLD FINISHING MOVE!
Vlad rolls out of the ring as Charlie grabs a microphone.
Charlie Australia: You messed up now, champion! You pissed off the wrong Aussie, so you know what? Maybe this old dog does have some fight left in him! I’m accepting your challenge, and I’m gonna put your bloody ego in check, you fuckin mongrel!
Charlie throws the microphone at VLADISLAV, before posing for the fans in attendance as the scene fades.
WINNER: VLADISLAV
RESULT: PINFALL (THE IRON CURTAIN)
Backstage, Blaze Darling can be seen pacing back and forth. Hands wringing together and mouth moving a mile a minute, but barely a word can be heard from her. Suddenly, she turns to face the camera with a bright grin as her hands clap together excitedly.
BLAZE DARLING: Well, here we are! The most important night for me tonight. The chance to secure a spot on Team Zion at The Foundations of Decay. This means the world to me and I- I can’t let this opportunity slip through my fingers.
She shakes her head, grimacing slightly as she inhales a soft breath.
BLAZE DARLING: Too many times I’ve let myself down and I decided, well.. I won’t let that happen anymore! From here on out, I’m going to give it my all and I’m going to prove a point that I am not the weakest link. That I am not soft. That I am not a baby!
She tosses her hands into the air, hands moving to her hips as her nose scrunches slightly.
BLAZE DARLING: Unfortunately, I have to make an example out of Elijah. He’s good, reall good even. But, that just means I have to be even better. That means I have to fight harder, smarter, stronger. That means I have to be the very best like no one ever was.
She can’t help the snort of laughter that escapes her before she gets serious again.
BLAZE DARLING: Being victorious tonight means that I will secure not only a spot on Team Zion, but I will show the word that Blaze Darling is no longer showing mercy! I will give everyone the same respect and treatment they give me from now on. No more being walked all over.
She pops a piece of bubblegum into her mouth and turns to walk away, looking over her shoulder.
BLAZE DARLING: I’m here to kick butt and chew bubblegum… and this was my last piece of bubblegum, so we know what that means.
She shoots a wink in the direction of the camera before walking away as she blows a bubble happily. Humming softly as the scene fades out.
After the first chorus of “Unbreakable” by Of Mice & Men finishes, we cut to the inside of the new Zion Wrestling Stadium, where streaks of blue and white pyro goes off over a stage lined with fire! The pyro settles, with the lights coming up to reveal a sold out crowd!

OPENING CONTEST: LEGION VS VIXSIN
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…representing The Hive…from Aokigahara, Japan…weighing in at 138 lbs…Legion!
And her opponent…from Las Vegas, Nevada…weighing in at 165 lbs…VixSin!
Amber Westgate: The mind games that have been going on between these two over the past month or so now have been insane, but now it all comes down to this match tonight!
Adam LaRue: Ever since VixSin made her debut at the expense of Legion, these two have been waiting for the opportunity to tear each other apart and they may just get to do that right now!
Legion doesn’t waste a second of time at the start of this match, rushing across the ring and laying VixSin out with a Spear! She immediately goes for the pin, hoping to show dominance with an early victory!
ONE…!
Kick out by VixSin, the small attack from Legion clearly not being enough to put her away! Legion doesn’t let up however, pulling VixSin to her feet and laying into her with strikes to the head! She eventually backs VixSin up into the corner, rushing across the ring and nailing her with a Knife Edge Chop! Much to Legion’s surprise however, VixSin is mostly unaffected by the barrage of attacks from her opponent, prompting her to try even harder to subdue her with another Knife Edge Chop! VixSin starts to rise from the corner, getting in Legion’s face as she backs her into the center of the ring! Legion doesn’t just stand there and wait for anything else to happen however, jumping up and nailing VixSin with a Bicycle Kick that sends her back into the corner! This, like most of Legion’s other attacks, doesn't phase VixSin, who rushes out of the corner and drops Legion with a stiff Lariat! Pin by VixSin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Legion! VixSin pulls her to her feet, dragging her into the corner before hooking her repeatedly with a set of strikes to the midsection! Legion is nearly defenseless against them, with VixSin moving along as she tosses Legion to the mat! Legion tries getting to her feet, only to be met by a Running Dropkick by VixSin that sends her all the way to the mat again! Legion rolls over to the ropes, using them to get to her feet once again!

RESULT: PINFALL (SHATTERED REALMS)
We hear Jessi Ozborne's theme, "Bones Exposed" begin to play, as we see Daria walking out after a brief playing of the theme, and the crowd booing at her while she laughed at their expense, and has the song cut off with a wave over her throat, as she spoke out.
Daria Dorsey
"Don't you just hate that song? But, don't you worry… "Papi" isn't going to be here for a long time. But, hey! It gives her plenty of time to hang out with her parents… oh right…"
She said with a devious smile, as there were boos from Jessi's fanbase in the crowd, while waiting for them to quiet down and speak again.
Daria Dorsey
"But, hey… just like all the deadbeat dads that abandoned us in our lives, Jessi isn't here for us. But, you know who's always been here? Me. I've carried this company since day 1! I was the one who spearheaded our war against NFW, and beat their champ, Adrianna Salvatore! And now, Kasey's merry band of jabronis want to walk on the doorstep of the house that the Zenith built?!"
She shouted rhetorically, agitated about the upcoming crossover show coming up.
Daria Dorsey
"Well, maybe you should have paid attention to Jessi, because you square up to me, the same thing is going to happen to you. My old mentor was way too charitable to the business, because I don't care about fighting these losers. Put me, an actual star, in the ring against them, it would be like putting prime Mike Tyson across the ring from Arin Hanson. I will take your arms, and I will take your legs and leave you with life in Hell! It doesn't matter /who/ XIX throws at me, it's just like them diving head first into a wood chipper. I'm gonna destroy them, and for that, Zion Stadium… you're welcome."
Daria stated, as there was a mixed reaction from the crowd, as of course they would support their star, even if she was an absolute bitch about it. She would make her way out, with the sounds of the opening hook of "Still" triggering her exit.
As Fusion had came back on the air, the feed had focused back towards the screen where there was a video playing. It started by showing a fire that was seemingly roaring for minutes, crackling as time passed. The room was barely illuminated by the amber flames, seemingly a room in a basement or an area where there wasn't much window light or any light at all. It took a few more moments for footsteps to be heard, but they filled the crackling silence of the room followed by the camera focusing over to a woman that was dressed in a fully white suit, including the dress shirt and even gloves to go with them. The camera had panned out to show that the person in the room was Hana Kaneko. She wouldn't look towards the camera, she just set up a chair next to the fire and sat down, looking down at it but made sure to speak loud enough to be heard.
“Hello, Fusion. All of Zion, really. I've been here for. . .maybe a year now? Almost. But yet this is the first time I've really allowed my voice to be heard this clearly. I've never wanted to open myself up, and maybe that's hurt me sometimes. I guess this is my somewhat formal introduction. My name is Hana Kaneko. You could know me as a few things, I guess. Golden Flower, Sumiyoshi-Kai's Oyabun, Former member of ONI, former Viral Champion, but recently things have gone. . .pretty silent. Like this room, you could say.”
For just a moment, Hana looked up at the camera. Waving, even. She didn't really have a readable expression on her face, even if she did the flame wasn't enough to expose it. She got up again, walking around for a second until she had grabbed something from a table. A multicolored Oni mask that she would wear during her entrance.
“Let me tell you a little bit about my life, first. I was left to myself at a very young age because life is one cruel bitch. But, so am I. I have been training in combat since I was eight years old. And now here I am, almost 40 years of age. So why am I here? I love to do this. Of course, I have another job that I can't exactly speak about, but wrestling is just a special thing. Even if sometimes, you make friends and you lose friends. I can't really say I've had friends here. Just. . .allies. Temporary ones, at that. At some point ONI just drifted to our own ways and never to be seen as allies again.”
With a sigh, she had thrown that mask into the fire, watching it smoke up and burn which didn't take long due to how hot the flame was.
“Well, that's enough about story time and leaking out my story. There's a reason why I wanted to have this time today. See, I've had my eyes on a few people of the Fusion roster, but there's one in specific that I've wanted to face off with for a very long time.”
Hana had reached into the inside of her suit jacket, pulling out an 8x10 picture of a blonde woman that would eventually be revealed as Ayu Megumi. Hana took a look at the picture, a grin coming over her face that had evil intent behind it. She showed the picture to the camera.
“Ayu Megumi. I notice that these last few weeks for you haven't been the most fun. You know, you've been having so much trouble with ISIS, and you failed. Your own sister had a hand in you losing that. Maki doesn't even like you, and I can't image how tough that is. Well, now you know that I don't like you too much either. I see the way you go around this place, acting like everything is sunshine, rainbows, bright skies, when everything is crumbling around you and you're too nearsighted to even realize that.”
Hana then took a second to take a pocket knife out of her pocket, soon stabbing the eyes of of the picture. She would then bring the picture up to the flame, letting it fall and burn there while again she just watched as it happened.
“I just don't like or understand people like you, Ayu. Why are you such a naive little bitch? I want to show you that in reality, life is just as dark and as cold as I am. In general, you're going to find out one thing. The Hana Kaneko you all knew before? She's easily a shell of what I plan to show now. I don't want to hold myself back anymore. I know some people are going to cheer this and some people are going to boo this, and that's fine by me. All I can say to the fans and to the rest of the Fusion roster is that I'm not going to be in the shadows like this anymore. Starting today, I'm stepping out and I'm not going to be quiet anymore.
. . .
and you, Ayu? If you have a problem with anything that I've said, we can easily settle this how things are meant to be settled. We can talk back and forth, or we can wrestle. Or, I can make you suffer the same fate that the people that took my life away got. The ball is in your court. I have nothing else to say, really. The next time you see Hana Kaneko after this will be back in the ring. The only question is, who's going to be dumb enough to step to an Oyabun? I'll turn you into ashes in the wind.”
Hana had gotten up against, walking away from the scene as the fire had began to burn out, leaving the room to complete darkness and silence where all that remained was the blankness of the room. It didn't take too long before the feed had cut away and transitioned to the next event on the show.
MATCH #2: VLADISLAV VS THE BALL
VLADISLAV doesn’t waste any time with The Ball here, rushing over and laying waste to him with a Big Boot before the poor jobber even has a chance to do any of his schtick! He pulls The Ball up to his feet, driving straight to the mat with a Clothesline! He pulls The Ball up again, driving him to the mat again with a second Clothesline! The crowd begin to keep count now, as VLADISLAV continues to pull The Ball up to his feet just to drive him back down with Clotheslines! The count ends at 8, with VLADISLAV deciding to finally put the guy out of his misery as he picks him up and drops him with the Iron Curtain (Burning Hammer)! Pin by VLADISLAV, with the jobber very obviously not kicking out!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…VLADISLAV!
Amber Westgate: What a win by VLADISLAV in this…well, can you even call it a match?
Adam LaRue: I’d say if anything that was a mauling!
The bell rings and VLADISLAV gets his hand raised in victory. He then calls for a microphone and gets handed one, as a hush falls over the crowd. The man begins to speak in a thick Eastern European accent, but you are still able to hear what he’s saying.
VLADISLAV: I proved once more tonight why I am The Final Boss of the Professional Wrestling industry, and once more the bosses in Zion have given me an enhancement talent which only adds to my win column. I am not going to move from this ring until I am added to the next pay per view event that Zion Wrestling is having, against the promotion known as XIX Wrestling!
VLADISLAV holds his arms at his side, waiting for someone to come out and answer his demands.
VLADISLAV: I will sit out here and we will not move forward with the show tonight! I am demanding to be added to the pay per view, and will not move until such times that my demands are answered!
At that point, “Land Down Under” begins to play as Charlie Australia walks out! The crowd love Charlie, who gives everyone a high five with a smile on his face, before stepping into the ring, microphone in hand.
Charlie Australia: Look mate… first off allow me to say… struth! You’re a big one, ain’t ya? Your Mum must’ve fed you your weet bix when you was growin up, didn’t she? And second of all… I’m sorry mate but I can’t get you on the show. The card is pretty much set in stone at this point, and even if I could add more matches, they’re all champion versus champion, apart from the XIX versus Zion tag match, and both teams are already decided for that one, too! So… maybe next time, mate?
Charlie goes to leave, but VLADISLAV puts a hand on his shoulder, turning him around.
VLADISLAV: Then you will fight me.
Charlie laughs, before realizing that Vlad wasn’t kidding.
Charlie Australia: Look mate. Even if I wanted to, I’m retired. I’ve been retired for a long while now, mate. I have no intent on getting into the ring to fight again. So… sorry mate. But your request is not happening.
Charlie goes to leave, but Vlad doesn’t let go of his shoulder.
VLADISLAV: It was not a request, Mister Australia… you will be fighting me.
Charlie Australia: My answer is the same, little man. It ain’t happeni-
At that moment, VLADISLAV absolutely levels Charlie with a chop that would knock a tree out of the ground! Charlie falls to the mat and is clutching at his chest, and VLAD looks down on him, expressionless, picking him up and putting him in the corner, slapping him across the face twice, screaming in his face in Polish, before putting him on his shoulders! Looking to nail him with hi- NO! CHARLIE REVERSES IT, NAILING VLADISLAV WITH A DDT, CHARLIES OLD FINISHING MOVE!
Vlad rolls out of the ring as Charlie grabs a microphone.
Charlie Australia: You messed up now, champion! You pissed off the wrong Aussie, so you know what? Maybe this old dog does have some fight left in him! I’m accepting your challenge, and I’m gonna put your bloody ego in check, you fuckin mongrel!
Charlie throws the microphone at VLADISLAV, before posing for the fans in attendance as the scene fades.
WINNER: VLADISLAV
RESULT: PINFALL (THE IRON CURTAIN)
Backstage, Blaze Darling can be seen pacing back and forth. Hands wringing together and mouth moving a mile a minute, but barely a word can be heard from her. Suddenly, she turns to face the camera with a bright grin as her hands clap together excitedly.
BLAZE DARLING: Well, here we are! The most important night for me tonight. The chance to secure a spot on Team Zion at The Foundations of Decay. This means the world to me and I- I can’t let this opportunity slip through my fingers.
She shakes her head, grimacing slightly as she inhales a soft breath.
BLAZE DARLING: Too many times I’ve let myself down and I decided, well.. I won’t let that happen anymore! From here on out, I’m going to give it my all and I’m going to prove a point that I am not the weakest link. That I am not soft. That I am not a baby!
She tosses her hands into the air, hands moving to her hips as her nose scrunches slightly.
BLAZE DARLING: Unfortunately, I have to make an example out of Elijah. He’s good, reall good even. But, that just means I have to be even better. That means I have to fight harder, smarter, stronger. That means I have to be the very best like no one ever was.
She can’t help the snort of laughter that escapes her before she gets serious again.
BLAZE DARLING: Being victorious tonight means that I will secure not only a spot on Team Zion, but I will show the word that Blaze Darling is no longer showing mercy! I will give everyone the same respect and treatment they give me from now on. No more being walked all over.
She pops a piece of bubblegum into her mouth and turns to walk away, looking over her shoulder.
BLAZE DARLING: I’m here to kick butt and chew bubblegum… and this was my last piece of bubblegum, so we know what that means.
She shoots a wink in the direction of the camera before walking away as she blows a bubble happily. Humming softly as the scene fades out.
[Camera pans open inside the Zion Arena. From the stand, the first thing in view is the construction workers working on setting up the ring. The ramp way and the stage was complete. There was a few staff members by ringside working on the guardrail. The camera swings around and there is Nadia Allen, with her posture upright and her eyes glaring straight ahead. She's dressed in a black and red "Nadia Allen" hoodie with black shorts. In the background, the chatter from the ringside workers can be heard.]
Nadia: Killed or be killed. That's what this is. There is no running when you get in the ring. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Nowhere to bullshit.
[She narrows her eyebrows.]
Nadia: First time we went at it, Melody. I took it. Second time. You took it back.
[Nadia closes her mouth, snaring a bit.]
Nadia: Last three weeks I've been where you were after the first one. I want to wrestle right now, honestly. I wanted to wrestle again right after you beat me. But I had to wait three weeks. And in those three weeks, there's been no one else on the menu than you.
I knew this wouldn't be easy. But nothing in life that's actually worth anything doesn't come easy. The only thing in my mind, thinking about you Melody, is that you've been a dead woman walking and you don't even know it. You have your reason for wrestling. I have mine.
No bullshit. Just wrestling.
One on one.
[Nadia leans in.]
Nadia: Violent fighting comes again. You got one. I got one. This one is for keeps. This one is for me. Between you and me, with all due respect, by the end of the night, you're not walking out of that ring. And definitely not as the winner.
I can't wait to be tested again. See you out there.
[FIN]
MATCH #3: BLAZE DARLING VS ELIJAH COPELAND
As the bell rang, Elijah wasted no time, launching a relentless assault on Blaze. He executed a series of calculated moves, including a Russian Leg Sweep seamlessly transitioned into a cross armbar, leaving Blaze momentarily stunned. But the resilient Blaze fought back, countering with her lightning-fast agility and a display of high-flying maneuvers. She connected with an Asai Moonsault, followed by a Running Big Boot that sent Elijah reeling.
The match intensified, with both competitors showcasing their extensive movesets. Elijah unleashed a barrage of strikes and suplexes, while Blaze countered with her own arsenal of acrobatic attacks. The crowd was on their feet as the battle raged on. In a pivotal moment, Elijah attempted to finish the match with his signature move, the "Money Maker," but Blaze miraculously escaped, leaving the audience in awe.
Summoning her last reserves of energy, Blaze unleashed a flurry of devastating moves, each one executed with precision and grace. The crowd erupted as she hoisted Elijah onto her shoulders, executing her finisher, the "Candyland Destroyer," a frontflip piledriver that left Elijah motionless on the mat. The referee counted to three, declaring Blaze Darling the victor to thunderous applause.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Blaze! Darling!
Amber Westgate: Blaze Darling gets the W, and is added to Team Zion come The Foundations of Decay!
Adam LaRue: With her and Mayhem’s Mark Storm on board, Team XIX may just have their work cut out for them!
Darling stands over Copeland, celebrating as we fade!WINNER: BLAZE DARLING
RESULT: PINFALL (CANDYLAND DESTROYER)
MATCH #4: ALEXIS LEMON VS CHERRY BLACKMAN
WINNER: CHERRY BLACKMAN
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)
We open to a zoomed in shot of the Zion National Championship.
And for a few seconds, that’s all we see. The only indication that it’s even a live video, is the sound in the background.
But after a few seconds, the camera pans back, and it’s only then that we get the full image: the newly crowned champion, Kaitlin Williams, with her title strapped around her waist, that silver tiara on her head, the jewels sparkling under the arena lights. And as we focus on the new National Champion, the Aussie is just...laughing; not a little chuckle, she’s almost outright cackling in amusement.
Kaitlin Williams: “Am I supposed to act surprised?”
The familiar refrain, at this point--Kaitlin certainly doesn’t lack confidence in herself, and the laughter and the smirk on her face are plenty proof of that.
Kaitlin Williams: “Let’s get one thing crystal clear, yea? This was always going to be what happened--the moment I walked into this place, whatever title I decided to set my sights on was always going to be mine, it was just a matter of when I decided to make that happen. Zara Ivory drew the short straw, but I’ve never made it a big secret, it was never about her--I couldn’t have given less of a fuck who held this belt. Me doing what I did to her over the past month or so was just a consequence of her own bad timing; she won the belt at the worst possible time, I was coming for this--not for her.”
The Crown Jewel lets that statement hang in the air for just a moment while giving the front plate of the title belt a pat.
Kaitlin Williams: “And then, the inevitable happened--Kaitlin Williams walked into a match and tapped someone out with ease, only this time it wasn’t that hollow shell that pretends to be Jessica Anderson or whatever the hell that sad sack’s name was I faced before her, this time it was, supposedly, one of the best. A record breaker with the Gateway Championship, for all the good that did her, and...where the hell was that Zara Ivory? At least that woulda been a challenge, but what I got at Slaycation? I gave her...60, maybe 70%, and she folded like a cheap suit.”
Kaitlin can’t contain the laugh that the momentary flashback to her title win gives her, hooking her thumbs behind the faceplate of the National Championship and shrugging her shoulders, pushing it forward just a bit.
Kaitlin Williams: “But I guess either she didn’t learn her lesson, or Zion Wrestling didn’t take note of what the hell happened, because they gave her another chance next week--a chance to earn a chance, anyway. Her or Nadia Allen, who...seems to just be happy to have A ReAlLy GoOd MaTcH, GuYs. Just a good, hard match she can proud of!”
The National Champion scoffs and shakes her head, a sneer plastered on her face.
Kaitlin Williams: “We...we could not be on more different paths, these two girls and I; one’s stuck on a cycle, rinse and repeat the same match over and over, and one’s just hoping to still matter...while it took me stepping in the ring exactly twice to prove that I am every bit as good as I say I am. And that really puts this whole contender’s match in the middle of the fucking desert into perspective, huh? On one side, we got someone who only thinks she knows what she’s getting into with this opportunity--all she sees is a chance to win a shiny thing and she’s gonna give it a good ol’ try...and on the other side, someone who knows, for a fact, she can’t get the job done. Am I...am I missing something? Why even have the match, hell, give ‘em both the shot! I’d probably beat them both back to back, anyway.”
Kaitlin’s sly little smirk lingers on her face as she unstraps the National Championship and raises the title up to the camera for just a moment, before slinging it over her shoulder.
Kaitlin Williams: “Let me give both these girls--and the entire Fusion roster as a whole--a word of advice: get used to this image. Get used to seeing Kaitlin Williams with the National Championship over her shoulder, get used to seeing me...at the top of this brand, because unlike most of the Queens, and Gods, and whatever the hell else that make up this sport? I am everything I say I am, I am every bit as good as I talk myself up to be. Signing me was the best thing Fusion’s ever done for itself, and Slaycation was just the beginning...you all still believe this is a fair competition, but the truth is, there’s nothing fair about any of you stepping in the ring with me...and I’m just getting started--you lot haven’t seen anything yet.
Kaitlin Williams: “But you will. And sooner or later? One by one, you’ll all do the right thing...and bow.”
Kaitlin holds the National Championship up to the camera one more time, smirking into the camera before we cut back to ringside.
MATCH #5: SHAZZAH NASTY VS TAJNIA MUSTAFI
Tajnia starts the match with an impressive display of technical and striking maneuvers. She delivers a series of strong style European uppercuts and roundhouse kicks, keeping Shazzah on her toes. Tajnia attempts to wear down Shazzah with a dragon sleeper, applying body scissors and well-placed kicks to target specific body parts. However, Shazzah shows her resilience, countering Tajnia's offense with an atomic drop and a springboard bulldog.
As the match progresses, Shazzah employs her unorthodox style to gain the upper hand. She executes a daring moonsault and a diving crossbody, leaving Tajnia momentarily stunned. Shazzah capitalizes on the opening, utilizing hair-pull snapmares and corner hip attacks to wear down Tajnia further. Tajnia fights back with her own arsenal, delivering a ripcord elbow smash and a shining wizard.
However, in a shocking turn of events, Shazzah resorts to cheating tactics. Seizing an opportunity, Shazzah rams Tajnia's head into an exposed turnbuckle while the referee is distracted. Tajnia is dazed and vulnerable, providing Shazzah with the opening she needs. Shazzah swiftly locks in her signature move, the "Fatal Attraction" double underhook piledriver, delivering a devastating blow to Tajnia. The referee counts to three, and Shazzah Nasty secures the victory.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Shazzah! Nasty!
Amber Westgate: Well I can’t speak to her tactics, but the results are undeniable! Shazzah Nasty gets the debut win!
Adam LaRue: Tajnia Mustafi doesn’t look happy however! I doubt the Intellectual Athlete is going to let this go any time soon!
Shazzah celebrates outside the ring, with Tajnia fuming inside the ring as we fade!WINNER: SHAZZAH NASTY
RESULT: PINFALL (FATAL ATTRACTION)

MATCH #6: CODE BLACK VS THE HOUSE OF WOLVES
UNDISPUTED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERS MATCH
Kassandra and Ravyn step into the ring as the starting competitors. The atmosphere is electric as they lock up, each displaying their unique styles. Kassandra utilizes her power with moves like the missile dropkick and the hesitation dropkick, while Ravyn combines agility and strength with a bridging fallaway slam and a straight jacket neckbreaker slam.
The House of Wolves gains an early advantage as Kassandra keeps Ravyn grounded with an array of suplex variations and impactful strikes. However, Ravyn showcases her resilience and fights back with her own impressive offense, executing a spinning facebuster and a mud hole stomp to Kassandra seated in the corner.
As the match intensifies, both teams strategize, and the momentum shifts. Ravyn makes her way to the corner and tags in Olivia, who enters the ring like a force of nature. Olivia unleashes a flurry of devastating moves on Kassandra, including a cobra clutch suplex and a spinning backfist. The crowd roars with excitement as Olivia's power and aggression dominate the match.
Danae watches the action from her corner, eager to make her impact. Sensing an opportunity, Kassandra manages to tag in Danae, who enters the ring with a fiery determination. Danae immediately demonstrates her technical prowess, applying a cross armbreaker on Olivia. The match becomes a battle of submissions and strikes as Danae and Olivia exchange hard-hitting offense.
The climax of the match arrives as chaos ensues in the ring. Ravyn manages to regain control, launching a fierce assault on Danae with a package piledriver and a leg trap sunset flip powerbomb.

RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)
We open to a zoomed in shot of the Zion National Championship.
And for a few seconds, that’s all we see. The only indication that it’s even a live video, is the sound in the background.
But after a few seconds, the camera pans back, and it’s only then that we get the full image: the newly crowned champion, Kaitlin Williams, with her title strapped around her waist, that silver tiara on her head, the jewels sparkling under the arena lights. And as we focus on the new National Champion, the Aussie is just...laughing; not a little chuckle, she’s almost outright cackling in amusement.
Kaitlin Williams: “Am I supposed to act surprised?”
The familiar refrain, at this point--Kaitlin certainly doesn’t lack confidence in herself, and the laughter and the smirk on her face are plenty proof of that.
Kaitlin Williams: “Let’s get one thing crystal clear, yea? This was always going to be what happened--the moment I walked into this place, whatever title I decided to set my sights on was always going to be mine, it was just a matter of when I decided to make that happen. Zara Ivory drew the short straw, but I’ve never made it a big secret, it was never about her--I couldn’t have given less of a fuck who held this belt. Me doing what I did to her over the past month or so was just a consequence of her own bad timing; she won the belt at the worst possible time, I was coming for this--not for her.”
The Crown Jewel lets that statement hang in the air for just a moment while giving the front plate of the title belt a pat.
Kaitlin Williams: “And then, the inevitable happened--Kaitlin Williams walked into a match and tapped someone out with ease, only this time it wasn’t that hollow shell that pretends to be Jessica Anderson or whatever the hell that sad sack’s name was I faced before her, this time it was, supposedly, one of the best. A record breaker with the Gateway Championship, for all the good that did her, and...where the hell was that Zara Ivory? At least that woulda been a challenge, but what I got at Slaycation? I gave her...60, maybe 70%, and she folded like a cheap suit.”
Kaitlin can’t contain the laugh that the momentary flashback to her title win gives her, hooking her thumbs behind the faceplate of the National Championship and shrugging her shoulders, pushing it forward just a bit.
Kaitlin Williams: “But I guess either she didn’t learn her lesson, or Zion Wrestling didn’t take note of what the hell happened, because they gave her another chance next week--a chance to earn a chance, anyway. Her or Nadia Allen, who...seems to just be happy to have A ReAlLy GoOd MaTcH, GuYs. Just a good, hard match she can proud of!”
The National Champion scoffs and shakes her head, a sneer plastered on her face.
Kaitlin Williams: “We...we could not be on more different paths, these two girls and I; one’s stuck on a cycle, rinse and repeat the same match over and over, and one’s just hoping to still matter...while it took me stepping in the ring exactly twice to prove that I am every bit as good as I say I am. And that really puts this whole contender’s match in the middle of the fucking desert into perspective, huh? On one side, we got someone who only thinks she knows what she’s getting into with this opportunity--all she sees is a chance to win a shiny thing and she’s gonna give it a good ol’ try...and on the other side, someone who knows, for a fact, she can’t get the job done. Am I...am I missing something? Why even have the match, hell, give ‘em both the shot! I’d probably beat them both back to back, anyway.”
Kaitlin’s sly little smirk lingers on her face as she unstraps the National Championship and raises the title up to the camera for just a moment, before slinging it over her shoulder.
Kaitlin Williams: “Let me give both these girls--and the entire Fusion roster as a whole--a word of advice: get used to this image. Get used to seeing Kaitlin Williams with the National Championship over her shoulder, get used to seeing me...at the top of this brand, because unlike most of the Queens, and Gods, and whatever the hell else that make up this sport? I am everything I say I am, I am every bit as good as I talk myself up to be. Signing me was the best thing Fusion’s ever done for itself, and Slaycation was just the beginning...you all still believe this is a fair competition, but the truth is, there’s nothing fair about any of you stepping in the ring with me...and I’m just getting started--you lot haven’t seen anything yet.
Kaitlin Williams: “But you will. And sooner or later? One by one, you’ll all do the right thing...and bow.”
Kaitlin holds the National Championship up to the camera one more time, smirking into the camera before we cut back to ringside.
MATCH #5: SHAZZAH NASTY VS TAJNIA MUSTAFI
Tajnia starts the match with an impressive display of technical and striking maneuvers. She delivers a series of strong style European uppercuts and roundhouse kicks, keeping Shazzah on her toes. Tajnia attempts to wear down Shazzah with a dragon sleeper, applying body scissors and well-placed kicks to target specific body parts. However, Shazzah shows her resilience, countering Tajnia's offense with an atomic drop and a springboard bulldog.
As the match progresses, Shazzah employs her unorthodox style to gain the upper hand. She executes a daring moonsault and a diving crossbody, leaving Tajnia momentarily stunned. Shazzah capitalizes on the opening, utilizing hair-pull snapmares and corner hip attacks to wear down Tajnia further. Tajnia fights back with her own arsenal, delivering a ripcord elbow smash and a shining wizard.
However, in a shocking turn of events, Shazzah resorts to cheating tactics. Seizing an opportunity, Shazzah rams Tajnia's head into an exposed turnbuckle while the referee is distracted. Tajnia is dazed and vulnerable, providing Shazzah with the opening she needs. Shazzah swiftly locks in her signature move, the "Fatal Attraction" double underhook piledriver, delivering a devastating blow to Tajnia. The referee counts to three, and Shazzah Nasty secures the victory.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Shazzah! Nasty!
Amber Westgate: Well I can’t speak to her tactics, but the results are undeniable! Shazzah Nasty gets the debut win!
Adam LaRue: Tajnia Mustafi doesn’t look happy however! I doubt the Intellectual Athlete is going to let this go any time soon!
Shazzah celebrates outside the ring, with Tajnia fuming inside the ring as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (FATAL ATTRACTION)

UNDISPUTED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERS MATCH

The House of Wolves gains an early advantage as Kassandra keeps Ravyn grounded with an array of suplex variations and impactful strikes. However, Ravyn showcases her resilience and fights back with her own impressive offense, executing a spinning facebuster and a mud hole stomp to Kassandra seated in the corner.
As the match intensifies, both teams strategize, and the momentum shifts. Ravyn makes her way to the corner and tags in Olivia, who enters the ring like a force of nature. Olivia unleashes a flurry of devastating moves on Kassandra, including a cobra clutch suplex and a spinning backfist. The crowd roars with excitement as Olivia's power and aggression dominate the match.
Danae watches the action from her corner, eager to make her impact. Sensing an opportunity, Kassandra manages to tag in Danae, who enters the ring with a fiery determination. Danae immediately demonstrates her technical prowess, applying a cross armbreaker on Olivia. The match becomes a battle of submissions and strikes as Danae and Olivia exchange hard-hitting offense.
The climax of the match arrives as chaos ensues in the ring. Ravyn manages to regain control, launching a fierce assault on Danae with a package piledriver and a leg trap sunset flip powerbomb. With Danae reeling, Olivia seizes the moment and delivers her signature Joker Driver, the "Dark Silence," with devastating impact. The referee counts to three, and Code Black emerges victorious.

Just then, ISIS, who’s now accompanied by Maki Megumi, hops over the barricade! The two of them enter the ring, with ISIS putting a hand on Sterling’s shoulder as the trio stand together!
Amber Westgate: What’s…what’s going on, here…?
Adam LaRue: It looks like that little unit between ISIS and Maki Megumi just got a little bit bigger!
Amber Westgate: That also means that ISIS, if you can believe it, has gotten a lot more dangerous!

Amber Westgate: In all my time calling for Zion Wrestling, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a match the likes of that!
Adam LaRue: These two put it all in the line in this one, but only one of them could come out the winner. Nadia Allen may have fought hard to make sure that person was her, but Melody Slayton by no means made it easy for her!

Just then, ISIS, who’s now accompanied by Maki Megumi, hops over the barricade! The two of them enter the ring, with ISIS putting a hand on Sterling’s shoulder as the trio stand together!
Amber Westgate: What’s…what’s going on, here…?
Adam LaRue: It looks like that little unit between ISIS and Maki Megumi just got a little bit bigger!
Amber Westgate: That also means that ISIS, if you can believe it, has gotten a lot more dangerous!
ISIS raises her Hardcore Championship in the air, with Megumi and Sterling standing by each side of her as we fade to black!
