The first chorus of “A Real Life” by Greek Fire ends as we cut to a sweeping drone shot of the Zion Wrestling District of UGWC’s WrestleStock! We cut down to ringside, as we see Winter Mae and Kyle Cassidy standing by!
Winter Mae: We are LIVE inside UGWC’s WrestleStock and we’re here to tear the house down for Phoenix tonight! Welcome to Monday Night Mayhem! I’m Winter Mae, joined as always by Kyle Cassidy!
Kyle Cassidy: Winter, Phoenix has been hyped all day here in the Zion Wrestling District! They’ve been enjoying all that this place has to offer, but now they’ve all filed over here to enjoy a little bit of Mayhem!
Winter Mae: And they’ve got a lot to enjoy tonight, we’ve got a massive Main Event on tap as Ricky Rodriguez defends his Internet Championship against Alexandra Calaway!
Kyle Cassidy: Plus, in a few short moments, we’re gonna see our first ever Endurance Rules Match, as Robert Kaiden Oakley defends his Endurance Championship against Melissa Tasman!
“STARS” Original by Stardom playing throughout the ringside as the crowd started to cheer and chanted her name loudly “Nami! Nami! Nami!” As Nami Megumi walks out with a serious face as she has the microphone in her hand as she heads to the ring and she quickly slides into the ring and gets back to her feets before walking to the center of the ring as she raises the microphone up to her mouth.
Nami Megumi: I came out tonight because I had something that bothered me last week. I think what Akane did after that match was just too much. Of course it was my victory and that was something Akane should have accepted. I've said that Akane is stepping into a game she can't win, I think I warned her about that. So tonight I want to address the issues that have been going on since last week between me and Akane. I don't want them to be unfinished. And I won't let a newcomer like you treat me like that, so the reason why I'm only here tonight is because I want to call Akane out for tonight!
Almost on cue with Nami's final word, the sounds of a chainsaw filled the arena's speakers which instantly followed with the fast paced drumming that came with the entrance music of Akane Yamashita. 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗪 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗗 by 𝗩𝗔𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗬 was the walkout sound for the Masochist Genius, not taking too long to appear on the stage. She wasn't very amused based off the look on her face, she raised her hand and pointed it to the ring, closing her digitus medicinalis finger to complete the pose that she wanted to make. Not dressed to compete, Yamashita had on a blue suit jacket with matching colored pants, with a dress shirt underneath which was pitch black. Looking around at the crowd for a moment, the booing just made her crack a smile while she walked down to the ring, getting into the ring by springboarding over the top rope. The 19 year old looked towards Nami with a look of disinterest, sighing before she held the microphone to her mouth to speak.
𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗡𝗘: “Megumi, you have a lot of nerve forcing me to come to the ring right now. All I wanted to do was sit back and enjoy the show after getting the upper hand on you last week. Because, sorry to break it to you, but sometimes just pinning or submitting somebody doesn't mean that you should expect to be a winner. You aren't a winner! This is far from over. You should be lucky that I'm doing all of this charity work for the elderly. I should be doing important things but here I am, wasting my time by feuding with the least valuable Megumi sister there is.”
That caused the crowd to break out in booing, which caused Akane to roll her eyes and wave her hand to shut the crowd up. She waited for them to be silent before she continued to say what she had on her mind.
𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗡𝗘: “I may be new to Zion, but I am not new to this sport. I have done this since I was only sixteen years old. And, guess what! You're going to be gone soon! You're not young, Nami. Soon, you'll have to retire and when you do, I'll still be here in Zion while you're going to be sitting at home and becoming a housewife. What you will never understand is how you have dug your own grave by wanting to stand across from me. This is the only time I'm going to say this, step down. Because if you don't? I'm going to fucking finish the job that Maki started and DROP you on your FUCKING head!”
Nami rolled her eyes in annoyance as she pursed her lips as if trying to repeat what Akane had said to her before she slowly approached Akane and stared at her enemy with a blank expression. Nami slowly raised her mic again after she saw that Akane had finished speaking.
Nami Megumi: Sorry you couldn't win last week. It didn't matter that you were in control of our match last week. Most importantly, you're not a winner. Have you ever heard that winning is winning? It doesn't matter how you win. I won not because I was lucky. I won but because you don't know how to solve the situation right away. Yes, you might be stronger than me, it's something to admit. But you're saying you're better than me? If so, you probably beat me last week. It's all in your hands, isn't it? Oh, and I called you out because of what you did after that. You act like a loser Aren't you attacking me without me even realizing it too cowardly, Akane? You say you will finish what Maki used to do, so if the next match we face each other, if you win, then we are tied. You're going to let it become an unresolved issue? I made another offer if your next match wins. I challenge you to fight me in pay-per-view!
Akane was silently listening to the words coming from Nami, sighing once again as she was clearly having to try to keep her composure throughout every word that was said. She had shook her head a few times as she began to slowly walk around the ring before she backed herself up into a corner and rested her back against the corner pads. She tapped the microphone against her cheek a few times, just having the same grin on her face that she had the entire time she was in the ring for. Having to process the words that were said wasn't too hard. She let out a long sigh into the microphone, blankly staring at the other.
𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗡𝗘: “...I think you sound like a complete fucking idiot right now. Let me get this right, you want to wrestle me two more times? Seriously? I know I hit you as hard as I could last week, but I think you're still not thinking straight because of it. Let's clarify right now, you survived our first match, there's no other way to say this. I can promise you the next time you aren't going to have the same kind of result that you are looking for, because now I know how you operate in this ring and I'm going to use that against you. I'm young, but I'm not clueless. You can't get by me with using the same formula because I'm going to smash it. But also remember, that scar on your head is going to be there forever, and I'm the one that put it there. You have to see that scar whenever you look in the mirror. You're never going to forget about the pain that I made you feel with one match, but you want to do that two more times? Fine by me. I'll entertain your challenge. Megumi. Well, I have a better name for you.”
Akane lifted herself from the leaning position in the corner, walking back to the center of the ring where Nami was standing, looking down at her without changing the expression on her face. She put a hand on Nami's chin to force her to look up.
“I accept, Obasan~.”
Nami rolled her eyes again before she use all of her strength push the younger and stronger away from her as Nami going to lift her microphone up to speak something again.
Nami Megumi: Y-...
Akane took a few steps back, laughing a little bit due to being pushed back by Nami where she was pushed into the ropes, letting her back touch them with a little grin on her face. Seeing that Nami was about to say something, Akane ran full speed at Megumi where she threw her knee upwards, hitting Nami right in the face! Yamashita just laid Nami out with a Giant Killing! A great use of the height difference between the two. Akane just looked down at Nami, a very relaxed expression on her face then dropped her microphone while her music once again began to play through the arena. Brushing off her clothes, Akane rolled out of the ring and walked back up the ramp and left Nami laying in the ring by herself with the crowd booing at Akane's actions.
Before scene fade away.
The open field of Phoenix, Arizona, doesn't help conceal the idea of the burning sun on tonight's episode of Monday Night Mayhem for Zion Wrestling, a part of UGWC's Wrestlestock event. She's waiting in one of the dressing room trailers for one individual, upset from last week's shenanigans that cost her the Gateway Championship. Bianca Page sits in a high-top chair with her name printed on the back as she crosses her leg over, tapping her finger on the chair's armrest. Makeup and production are also in the room, and Bianca's losing patience knowing she has vengeance to extract on a little girl called Serenity Holmes.
Bianca Page: (Sighs) "I mean I know Serenity is a lazy piece of trash who doesn’t take wrestling seriously but what is taking her so long?!?!"
Bianca is sitting there in a white LuLuLemon Sculpt Cropped Tank Top,a pair of dark lavender Lululemon high rise leggings, and a couple of white, rush fuchsia, and emerald rise Nike Gamma Force shoes. Bianca receives a notification from one of the production members who approaches her with a latte. She takes the cup without batting an eye at the employee, then takes a sip of the beverage before spitting it out and throwing it back at him. It spills all over his body, and everyone in the truck seems to be on edge from the sheer attitude of Bianca's dismissal of him.
Production Member: "Umm, Miss Page?"
Her head snaps to the intern production member holding his notepad close to his chest.
Production Member: "Serenity Holmes is not attending the event today."
Bianca slowly stands up from the high-top chair and corners the young production member. Her height, dominant body language, and endearing stance impose fear into the young man's heart.
Bianca Page: "I shouldn’t be shocked but are you seriously telling me this right now? I have been here for way too long with the likes of you all!!! So if Serenity isn’t going to be attending the event today then where the hell is she?!?!"
Bianca looks at the production member with fury in her eyes.
Bianca Page: "Tell me where that sidekick of the robot is?!?! I want you to find her and bring her to me now!!!"
Production Member: "I can't because..."
Bianca Page: "Because what?!?!"
Serenity Holmes: "Because I'm right here!"
Serenity undressed herself by ripping off a plain black shirt, throwing her black hat aside, and revealing her presence to the rest of the team members. The one that surprised me the most was Bianca Page seeing the young girl from the other side of the room charge right into her until she pulled the cornered production team member into her path. Serenity stops herself as she watches Bianca leave the trailer only to chase after her in a rage.

RESULT: PINFALL (RK-OAKLEY)
As Alexandra and Jack walked through the Zion Wrestling Hall of Fame, the walls adorned with larger-than-life posters and memorabilia of legendary wrestlers, the anticipation for their upcoming matches was palpable in the air. Alexandra, dressed in her wrestling gear and her hair cascading down her shoulders, glanced at Jack and couldn't help but smile.
Alexandra Calaway: ”Here we are amongst the so called legends of Zion Wrestling, the men and women who grace these walls, do not hold a candle up to what WE have accomplished in our time here. Granted I walked away for a time, needing to regain my focus, but I found that some of the best competition is here, in Zion. Besides, it made it possible for us to be on the same show.”
Jack walks with Ally, hand in hand, as his eyes sweep over the posters depicting the inductees from the previous years. His eyes are narrowed. Studying each one of them as a wicked smile plays across his face.
Jack Morrison: ”That it did, darling. That it did. See, I have a sense of respect for the talent it takes for anyone to make it onto one of these walls. I really do. In the same breath, there are still many of these people still actively competing on the Zion roster, so to me? These posters serve two purposes. Acknowledge what they have done. Acknowledge their accomplishments. So long as each of these men and women acknowledge the fact that their name on this wall…makes them a target.”
Alexandra gives a small chuckle looking up at him with a gentle nod. She places a hand on his arm and begins to speak.
Alexandra Calaway: ”That’s just the thing, titles, accolades, they will always make you a target and when you think that even your best friend won’t take their shot, well.. Normally they do. Look at Ricky and I, former tag team partners, but he even understands it’s not personal, it’s just business. Some people however, seem to think that I’m being greedy and I suppose, in a way, I am.”
Jack Morrison: ”Sounds a lot like someone else I know. Shout out to you, Olly.”
Jack winks at the camera, addressing his recent nemesis, Olly Peters. He goes back to addressing Alexandra, then.
Jack Morrison: ”You, however? No, love. You’re here to take what you’ve earned and deserved.”
He pauses, looking directly into the camera and starts laughing.
Jack Morrison: ”What? Did you think I was gonna be sore over her getting a go at Ricky Rodriguez before I did? To be honest? Ricky should be thankful. While he’s bound to end up in a bad way regardless of which one of us takes the Internet Championship from him, he can rest easy knowing that wrestling against a friend, he might live to pick himself up and fight another day. Speaking of which, in terms of not being friends…”
He trails off and thinks for a minute, putting an arm around Alexandra’s shoulders, squeezing against him. He makes an almost funny “ooh shit” face as he looks at her with a tiny smirk, then.
Jack Morrison: ”You’re not gonna hold my match personally against me, are you, Lexi love?”
She laughs and smiles up at him.
Alexandra Calaway: ”Of course not love. I don't think that Shinobu, will care too much either. He's in it for the action.”
Jack Morrison: ”Well, I hope he’s ready for it. Because friend or not, he’d do well to understand that it doesn’t matter to me.”
Jack turns to the camera.
Jack Morrison: ”You’ve been a good friend to my girl here, mate. You have my appreciation for that. That being said, if I don’t treat you the same as I would anyone else in that ring, what does that make me? A fraud at my own game. Which, that’s something I won’t ever allow. The word “fraud” and the name Jack “The Ripper” Morrison will never go hand in hand. Don’t take what happens at the bell out on anyone after the matter. Don’t ask Lexi “why did Jack do what he did?” It’s as I said to Olly Peters before: it’s nothing personal, mate. It’s just…simply…business. I’ll do the same to anyone who stands in my way and you, Shinobu? Mate, you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Alexandra smirks and shakes her head.
Alexandra Calaway: ”And Ricky.. I know you are watching and I've seen the tweets about how you are looking forward to our little match. But I also can see the doubt in your words. You know what I am capable of. But to be honest with you.. that girl you teamed with back in OCW during the margarita madness.. she was nothing compared to the woman I have become. That woman was hellbent on making friends.. on having back up. What she really should have been doing was ripping everyone who got in her way apart. It took Jack here reminding me of just how talented I am when I put aside friendships. “
She reaches up, placing a hand on Jack's shoulder, twirling some of his hair around her finger. Jack smiles sinisterly as he slips an arm around her waist and pulls her close.
Jack Morrison: ”All hail the Ripper King…and the Ripper Queen…long may they reign. Now…”
He turns fully towards Alexandra, wrapping his other arm around her waist, sneering into the camera.
Jack Morrison: ”Fuck off.”
He turns back to his Queen then, leaning in to plant his lips against hers as the shot fades.
We cut to the trailers where we see Lilith Meadows standing near them, talking with Morgan Payne as she has a massive smile on her face.
Lilith Meadows: And then, us and Chrissy found this really, really, cool tree that we ain’t never seen out in the woods before it was so cool and skinny and tall, and super duper wobbly and we just wanted to shake it like crazy and…
Morgan Payne: Woah, Lilybug… calm dahn, take a breath, I don’t need ya passin out n’at.
Lilith Meadows takes a deep breath, but as she does, she looks down the hallway and she spots someone, grabbing Morgan by the arm and pulling her around the corner. The camera pans down the hallway and sees Willa Stoneheart, walking down and we hear the giggling of Lilith Meadows.
Lilith Meadows: Morgy… watch this.
Lilith reaches down, pulling a water balloon out of a bucket and turns the corner, aiming right at Willa and hitting her in the chest with the water balloon before sticking her tongue out at the woman.
Lilith Meadows: Bet you can’t catch us!
Willa Stoneheart: How dare you?!
Willa takes off running down the hall as Lilith immediately turns the corner and just waits before we hear Willa’s footsteps and as she reaches the end of the hallway, a loud bang is heard and a cloud of glitter is seen shooting off right at Willa, covering her in the stuff as Lilith laughs and grabs Morgan by the arm and takes off running.
Willa Stoneheart: You’re going to regret this! Gah!
Willa stands there for a moment, seething in anger and frustration as the camera fades out.
MATCH #2: JACK MORRISON VS TAKASHI SHINOBU
The crowd is electrified as the competitors exchange strikes and grappling maneuvers. Morrison's aggressive style shines through as he delivers forearm strikes, back elbows, and brutal stomps, trying to overpower Takashi. However, Takashi's resilience is evident as he counters with a swinging neckbreaker and a vertical suplex, demonstrating his technical prowess.
As the match progresses, both competitors showcase their diverse movesets. Jack Morrison utilizes his vicious arsenal, incorporating eye gouges, throat jabs, and a variety of submission holds such as the Cobra Clutch and the Rear Naked Choke. Takashi Shinobu fights back with high-impact moves, executing a diving crossbody and a vertical drop brainbuster, impressing the crowd with his agility and strength.
In a dramatic turn of events, Jack Morrison gains the upper hand, capitalizing on an opening. He locks in his devastating finisher, the "Killing Them Softly" Anaconda Vice. The crowd watches in anticipation as Takashi struggles to escape the excruciating hold. Despite his valiant efforts, Takashi succumbs to the relentless pressure, forced to submit. The referee calls for the bell, declaring Jack Morrison the victor.
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, via submission…Jack! “The Ripper”! Morrison!
Winter Mae: Jack Morrison making it clear with that performance that he is no longer playing games!
Kyle Cassidy: I’d go as far as to say that he never was, Winter! He’s just decided to get even more ruthless in the coming weeks!
Morrison stands tall over Shinobu as we fade!
RESULT: SUBMISSION (KILLING THEM SOFTLY)
"Hello ZION roster, fans, friends, and… uh… backstage crew?"
Risa jumps into frame, the camera centered on the production area surrounded by various production crates and things. She sits down on one of them, swinging her feet, a smile on her face that never seems to go away.
"So! A triple threat against Link Andrews and Hayumi Yamamoto? Bet!"
Risa puts on her best Morgan Payne face before falling into giggles again. She holds up a hand, catching her breath as the fit passes.
"I gotta say, I'm really looking forward to this! You never know what's gonna happen in a Triple Threat, after all. Link could go for a pin on Hayumi, and then BOOM!"
Risa claps her hands loudly, eyes wide.
"In comes Risa from the sky with a splash to break up the pin! Oh oh! Or Hayumi could hook the leg, thinking she's won then WHAM!"
She smacks her hands together again, the grin on her face growing wider.
"There's Mrs. Lemon with the diving save to break up the three count! It's pure chaos! Of course, there's also a third thing. Come here."
She motions the camera close. Her voice is a whisper.
"I could always get the pin!"
Risa sits back, drumming her hands on the top of the crate before standing up on top of it.
"Anything can happen, and anything goes. I'm ready to run jump hop skip leap and fly to get this win! I need to show ZION management and this roster that I'm still a threat to everyone here!"
She leaps, flipping over the cameraman and landing perfectly on her feet behind them.
"Always growing. Ever changing. Constantly evolving! Risa Saito-Lemon Resu GOOOOO!!!"
The Diminutive Dynamo gives a wink and a peace sign, that sparkling smile on display as she awkwardly backs out of frame, and the show moves on.
We see Hayumi Yamamoto out in the Sonora Desert, lounging in a copperhead skin version of her outfit, laying in the sands, as she would speak to the camera recording her after rolling onto her belly and looking up at it.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"The cold-blooded love the desert, as it's the one environment hostile enough to suit them. So here I am, in the middle of the Sonora Desert, my type of environment… with two foes to vanquish…"
Hayumi stated with a sinister chuckle to her voice, before continuing.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"Risa, the woman formerly known as Super Tiger. And Link Andrew's, a poor naive soul… but, they both fit the bill, don't they? Neither know the danger they're in. But soon, they'll both be so deep in Kiyohime's embrace, they have no choice but to be smothered within it."
MATCH #3: RISA SAITO VS LINK ANDREWS VS HAYUMI YAMAMOTO
This match begins with Saito, Yamamoto, and Andrews all locked in a battle of athleticism and skill. Risa Saito showcases her technical prowess, utilizing knife-edged chops, open palm strikes, and a variety of kicks to keep her opponents on their toes. Hayumi Yamamoto, the crafty heel, employs dirty tactics such as arm wrenches and fingersnaps, coupled with high-impact moves like the running bulldog and the pendulum backbreaker. Link Andrews brings his power-based offense, executing calf kicks, suplexes, and knee strikes with precision.
As the match unfolds, the three competitors engage in a fierce exchange of strikes and high-flying maneuvers. Risa Saito seizes an opportunity when Link Andrews has Hayumi Yamamoto down for a pin attempt. Just as the referee's hand is about to hit the mat for the three count, Risa Saito intervenes, pulling Hayumi Yamamoto off Link Andrews and breaking the pin.
Risa Saito seizes the moment, capitalizing on the disarray and fatigue of her opponents. She hit Yamamoto with the Kyoto Catastrophe (Storm One), stealing the victory for herself with a pinfall on Hayumi Yamamoto.
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Risa! Saito!
Winter Mae: Risa Saito getting a much needed win tonight in this Triple Threat Match!
Kyle Cassidy: Yamamoto nearly got the victory here, but it was Saito who stole it away from her in two simple moves! Congrats on the big win!
Saito celebrates outside of the ring, with Yamamoto’s expression quickly getting more angry as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (KYOTO CATASTROPHE)
The live broadcast of Monday Night Mayhem continues under the scorching sun in Phoenix, Arizona. The camera transitions to a tent area near the ring, where a commentary table has been set up with Winter Mae and Kyle Cassidy seated with a mobile fan setup to help cool them down.
Kyle Cassidy: Welcome back to Monday Night Mayhem, ladies and gentlemen, to this scorching heat. I hope you're all staying warm enough not to feel like you're dying out here. What kind of idea was it to have this event out here? Did you? Didi could pass out?
Winter Mae: Thank God we have bottles of water and A/C units to help keep us cool. However, what wasn't cool was we heard Serenity Holmes tried to assault Bianca Page in one of the dressing room trailers. Serenity and Bianca have been going after each other verbally or physically, and it looks like it hasn't stopped tonight.
Kyle Cassidy: Hold on! We're getting immediate reports of a brawl in our venue's Zion 23' Gaming Central station! We need cameras on the scene now to know what is going on!
Winter Mae: It's a bunch of kids fighting out the newest Zion 23' game. You know how rowdy our fans are!
The broadcast transitions to the interior of the gaming section building to the open forum, where crowds are gathered around two women brawling like crazy. Serenity Holmes and Bianca Page are brawling, throwing strikes, pulling hair, and doing whatever they can to beat each other down in a frenzy. It spills out to where security has to hold people back, preventing them from being drenched in chaos.
Kyle Cassidy: WHAT THE HELL?! SERENITY HOLMES AND BIANCA PAGE ARE BRAWLING AT OUR GAME STATION!
Winter Mae: OH MAN, I KNEW THESE TWO WOULDN'T LEAVE IT AT THE DRESSING TRAILERS!
Bianca barges her shoulder into Serenity's gut and lifts her off the floor before plowing her into a nearby wall. Serenity feels the impact, and Bianca continues to land, clubbing blows down on her back; However, Serenity grapples her arms around his waist and then charges them over a table, where they crash on the floor. She gets on top of her and starts landing severe blows, but then Bianca turns her over, applying more ground and pound. The two are brawling on the floor until extra security separates them, although it's hard as security struggles to tear them apart.
MATCH #4: BFG VS LOS DING DONGS
This match doesn’t go for very long, with Kenzie Garrett immediately nailing Ding Dong Dos with a Superkick! She pulls Dos to his feet, throwing him into the corner before relentlessly nailing him with Stomps! She eventually tags in Fable Rowen, who assists her in stomping out Dos! The official tries to get involved to restore some order here, only for the pair to begin chastising them as well! They don’t stop on Dos, with Garrett going to the corner and pulling Ding Dong Uno into the ring! She wails on the poor jobber, all as Fable Rowen locks Dos into the Konami Code (Roll Through Kimura Lock)! He taps out to hand BFG the win!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…B! F! G!
Winter Mae: A ruthless display by BFG tonight as they stomp out the competition!
Kyle Cassidy: And as they continue to! They haven’t gotten off of Los Ding Dongs since the bell!
Rowen and Garrett continue to lay into Los Ding Dongs, with the official unable to tame the two women as their attacks get more and more aggressive. Just then, “American Venom” begins to play, with Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler rushing down to the ring to come to the rescue! They immediately batter Rowen and Garrett, sending them out of the ring licking their wounds!
Winter Mae: Looks like Regulators, Inc have seen enough from these two!
Kyle Cassidy: Frontier Justice has arrived, and the wanted poster has BFG’s name on it!
Cassidy and Adler stand tall over a fuming BFG as we fade!
RESULT: SUBMISSION (KONAMI CODE)
MATCH #5: ZACHARY PORTER VS CHRIS MATTHEWS
The match kicks off with Porter and Matthews displaying their contrasting styles in the ring. Porter utilizes a mix of power moves and technical holds to gain an early advantage. He executes suplexes, backbreakers, and slingblades, attempting to wear down Matthews. However, Matthews fights back with a flurry of high-flying maneuvers. He delivers phoenix splashes, snap suplexes, and a variety of dives, captivating the audience with his athleticism and agility.
As the match intensifies, both competitors showcase their resilience and determination. Matthews locks in submission holds like the dragon sleeper and the guillotine choke, aiming to force Porter into a submission. Porter, ever the opportunist, counters with well-timed strikes and impactful moves, utilizing his cunning to stay one step ahead.
In a dramatic turn of events, a third character, Willa Stoneheart, makes her presence felt at ringside. As Matthews gains the upper hand, Stoneheart causes a distraction, drawing his attention away from the match. Seizing the opportunity, Porter capitalizes on the chaos. He delivers his signature sit-out facebuster, "Porter's House," to Matthews, stunning him. Porter quickly ascends the turnbuckle, connecting with his finisher, a diving double foot stomp called "Paradise Lost." The referee counts to three, and Zachary Porter secures the victory.
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Zachary! Porter!
Winter Mae: Zachary Porter qualifies for Team Zion, thanks to his…sorta ex-girlfriend?
Kyle Cassidy: Those two things obviously aren’t related, Winter! Willa Stoneheart clearly only came out here to get her pound of flesh after what happened between her and Matthews last week!
Winter Mae: Not to mention she’s probably been looking to save some face after that embarrassing display done to her by Lilith Meadows earlier in the night!
Stoneheart gives Matthews a condescending wave as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (PARADISE LOST)
The scene picks up right outside a door. But not just any door. It was the door labeled 'Alexandra Calaway.' Zooming out would reveal the Zion Wrestling Internet Champion Ricky Rodriguez. In his hands, he held the legs of a steel chair, gazing down at it with an almost blank look on his face.
'It'd be sooo easy.'
The view zoomed out a bit more, revealing Willa Stoneheart, standing not too far away from Ricky. A rather devious grin showed on her features as she was in full devil on the shoulder role.
Willa Stoneheart: 'You know she's in there. All you have to do is wait for that door to open and just swing. Swing with every negative feeling you've ever felt. Swing with every bit of anger you keep bottled up deep in there. Just..swing. Give her what she wants, Ricky.'
Ricky was torn, internally having one of the biggest struggles of his life and it showed crystal clear in his face. His knuckles turned white from how tightly he gripped that chair.
Willa Stoneheart: 'They wouldn't clear her. There wouldn't even be a match. You could just take the rest of the night off..leave and..'
But before she could finish, Ricky yelled out and threw that chair down the way. He turned around, his eyes focused on Willa as he walked towards her. Hooking his arm in here, he led her well away from where they stood. Once happy with the distance, Ricky shook his head slowly.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'I can't..'
Willa Stoneheart: 'You can.'
Ricky Rodriguez: 'I can't!'
Pausing for a moment, Ricky tried taking in a deep breath only for it to get caught in his throat. Shaking his head slowly, he sighed out.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'I gotta earn mine. No questions. No disputin. No none of that shit. I don't want someone to look at somethin I've done and be like 'well he only won cause..' No, fuck that. I want there to be no question. I won this without all the bullshit and I'm gonna defend it that way.'
There was another pause as Willa thought about what Ricky said. Finally, she smiled, giving off a laugh and a nod of her head.
Willa Stoneheart: 'I know. I just wanted to see how committed you are to it. Now come on, you have a title to defend.'
That smile lingered across her face as Ricky laughed out. Shaking his head, he took her hand, returning that smile.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'Time to handle business.'
Winter Mae: Big talk from the champ just now, I’m very hyped for this Main Event tonight! But shifting gears now to next week’s show! As we just saw minutes ago, Willa Stoneheart has been causing no end of issues for Chris Matthews and Lilith Meadows in recent weeks! Now one of them is hoping to get some payback at the beginning of next week! Lilith Meadows goes one-on-one with Stoneheart to open the show!
Kyle Cassidy: As we also saw moments ago, Zachary Porter has just qualified for Team Zion, though he has shown a bit of resistance with the idea! Katrina Lopez has organized some team-bonding, as Porter will team with Mark Storm next week to take on Regulators, Inc!
Winter Mae: The two rivals have been all over each other and this district tonight, but next week they'll have a chance to fight in an actual ring! Bianca Page takes on Serenity Holmes next week!
Winter Mae: And we just got word on a massive Main Event planned for next week! After the events that closed out last week’s Mayhem, we can confirm that Rock Candy is riding again! Next week in, Undisputed Champion Razzles Mars and Gateway Champion Diamond Steele will team up to take on BFG to close the show! That all goes down next week on Mayhem!
