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: With just 24 hours to go until a historic night at The Foundations of Decay, we bring you another action packed night to start off your weekend! Welcome everyone…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Amber Westgate, joined as always by Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: I’m excited for tonight, Amber! We got a lot going down here in Zion Stadium in the next few days! Just like you said, The Foundations of Decay will be historic, but don’t sleep on tonight because we got loads to show you! Rivalries will likely be taken to a whole other level, as Angelica Matthews takes on Alexis Lemon, and Nao Saegusa goes up against Samuel Lopez!
Amber Westgate: Not to mention the Hardcore Championship is on the line tonight in our main event as Erika Crawford challenges the undefeated ISIS for her throne! But kicking us off tonight in just a few moments, we have Non-Title action, as Adrian Henderson makes his Zion debut against the Viral Champion, Gianna Rojas!
Excitement shines in the smile of the eternally perky Zion Viral Champion, Gianna Rojas as she is walking down the back hall, heading towards the curtain for her upcoming match. She spies the camera of course, and waves it in close with a grin.
Gianna Rojas: ¡Fanáticos de la fusión! ¡Tenemos un verdadero placer esta noche, al menos tu Campeón Viral, yo, lo creo! ¡Un nuevo talento que llega, el aparentemente excitable Adrian Henderson luchará su primer combate en Zion contra mí!
She balls her fists up and playfully does a few boxing like strikes, it's downright adorable and fierce at the same time, but her smile never wavers.
Gianna Rojas: ¡Así que les pido a los fanáticos que le den una bienvenida adecuada a Zion! ¡Mostrémosle el tipo de energía y vibraciones que tenemos! Yo mismo estoy muy ilusionado por afrontar un nuevo reto, ¿y quién sabe? ¡Quizás él sea mi mayor desafío hasta ahora! ¡Seguro espero eso!
Gia pauses for just a moment, slightly more serious, before that irrepressible smile returns. She's practically skipping towards the curtain now, ready to roll.
Gianna Rojas: Sé que todavía tengo un gran desafío por delante, pero eso es en el futuro y aunque apuesto a que algunos de ustedes esperaban que solo hablara de eso, ¡esta noche es para Adrián! ¡Hay mucho tiempo para más, más adelante! Así que por ahora, ¡los veré a todos en primera fila!

Another great edition of Friday Night Fusion as the cameras pan to the backstage area. Devyn Mitchell is standing by with the very same person she interviewed last week. It was Sativa Biscotti! Sativa was still full of that energy she displayed last week. And now, Devyn was ready to catch up with her after her victory last week.
Devyn Mitchell: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time is none other than Sativa Biscotti! Now, Sativa, last week you showcased your determination to win. You went out there and faced off against Shazz Nasty! And to everyone’s shock and awe, you actually pulled out the victory! How do you feel? What’s next for you?
Sativa is all smiles as she pulls Devyn’s hands closer to her face. Even at the shock of Devyn herselft.
Sativa Biscotti: Devy-Pooh! We meet again! And we meet with me as a winner! Now, yes, I know. Some little interuptorama person joined the fray. Miss Nasty was distracted, yes. But! I still walked out the victor. I was still able to put down Miss Nasty for the tubular one, two, and three! Because despite the little distraction, Miss Nasty underestimated me. She should have never turned her back. She should have been facing her real challenge. But, hey, you like live and you learn, right? Well, I’m totes up for a rematch whenever she wants one.
Sativa nodded, reassuring the audience and Devyn as she spoke. She still refused to let go of Devyn’s wrist as she had the microphone in her face.
Sativa Biscotti: But you want to know how I feel? I feel… stoked! I’m stoked because I’m on the way up! See, I want to do like really really really great things here in Zion Wrestling. So that wasn’t the beginning, Devy-Pooh, that was just a taste. My real beginnings start in my next match! Because there will be no distractions! And I’ll make Grammy Tammy and the Val Pals proud when this Valley Girl continues her winning ways. And I’m going to keep going until I shoot for the stars or whatever!
Sativa finally let go of the microphone and pulled back. She went into a toothy grin, bobbing her head to someone’s entrance music playing in the background.
Devyn Mitchell: Well, Sativa, that was very insightful. Once again, I’m glad yo have you aboard. Continue being you and you’ll find yourself exactly where you need to be.
Sativa ceased bobbing her head, paying attention to Devyn and bit the bottom of her lip as she was giddy with the potential of finding herself where she needed.
Sativa Biscotti: That I will, Devy, that I will! But I have to run along! I don’t have a match tonight. But there’s so many other matches to watch! And I need to sit and study them all! All in a day’s work. Or is it night? Yeah, night’s work… I think. Antywho, toodles!
Sativa blew a kiss, winked, and then snapped her fingers as she took off down the hall. Devyn could not stop smiling, overwhelmed with the energy Sativa radiated. She didn’t even have anything to say, she just looked at the camera and shrugged her shoulders. Her energy read “there you have it” before the scene faded off to another portion of the show.
The wind howled in the distance as the iced mountain stood tall amongst the barren wasteland that the cameraman walked along. The fire led him to a cave entrance, where a woman with a black jacket approached. The cameraman took a sigh of relief when he saw Ms. J appearing at the start of the cavern. A loud cackle is heard throughout shaking the cavern and the mountain which did not move. The cameraman shivered Ms. J looking at him, smirking.
"The Shield" Ms. J The Queen has been making her preparations for the one that they call VixSin, while her girls have been preparing for Code Black. Follow me, the Wolves are currently off training, and hence you will get your audience one on one with the Queen this evening. Though this version of the Queen has returned, this incarnation.
Ms. J stepped aside as the cameraman made his way down the path, looking around seeing the multiple titles frozen in the ice, the Cameraman had admired them from the distance but was pushed along by Ms. J. The central cavern is lit by torches of all colors, and a woman in a black fur jacket is standing there, her raven hair cascading down either side. She smiled softly as she sealed up the jar in front of her. She picks it up off the table, walking over to Ms. J and hands it to her, the two of them nod and bow, and Ms. J takes her leave with the Jar intact. Legion's purple eyes looked over at the cameraman who had just joined her.
"The Queen" Legion: From time to time, when someone else will not defend you, or you feel like you are being ignored, you have to take matters into your own hands. Our girls have been there to try and protect us, but with Vix it seems a new game has presented it. VixSin week after week, we have strived to teach you that there are lessons to learn. Our game has just begun, watch what your little friend tells you, because she is a heathen, trying to make a name off of you. See VixSin to become us, you have to learn that all cards do not get revealed at once.
Legion then reached into her jacket revealing five cards in her hand, but only the backs to the cameraman. A loud howl is heard as the two women, Kassandra and Danae walk into the chamber getting down on one knee each bowing before the queen. Legion runs her hands through the hair, and walks between them. Tonight was not about her, Legion dropped two of the cards on the table, revealing Olivia & Ravyn Nightshade. Legion smirked to herself.
"The Queen" Legion: Tonight, our girls take on Code Black, and they will show why they are a force to be reckoned with. We will be at ringside just in case that imposter shows up, and her little handler. The two will either have to go through us, or the Shield in order for the tragedies to not occur. So then you must wonder is the game truly yours Vixsin, Code Black, or does it?
Kassandra steps forward looking at the cameraman.
"The Blue-Eyed Wolf" Kassandra" The House...
"The Silver-Eyed Wolf" Danae: Always wins.
The three pushed past the cameraman as they walked away from him. He followed them but the door appeared instead of him hitting the rest of the way, he appeared back into the arena. Where a jar sits on the cart next to him, with two yellow stars upon it. The cameraman ignores it, and walks off frightened.
MATCH #2: MELODY SLAYTON VS CHERRY BLACKMAN
The two women start with a show of respect, shaking hands before the action begins. The match kicks off with a series of fast-paced exchanges, as they trade strikes and technical maneuvers, each trying to gain the upper hand.
Blackman shows off her edge, delivering a vicious combination of back elbows and thrusting side kicks, keeping Slayton on her toes. Slayton counters with precision, hitting scoop slams, dropkicks, and a jawbreaker that momentarily stuns Blackman. However, Blackman quickly recovers and applies a triangle armbar, showcasing her submission skills.
As the match progresses, both women display their resilience and determination, refusing to back down. Slayton hits a jaw-dropping suicide dive to the outside, leaving the crowd in awe of her fearlessness. Blackman retaliates with a brainbuster, displaying her raw power. The back-and-forth action continues, with near falls from both sides, keeping the fans on the edge of their seats.
In the climax of the match, Cherry Blackman sets up, looking for the Core Breach (Lightning Spiral). She executes it flawlessly, but to her surprise, Slayton manages to kick out just in the nick of time. The crowd erupts in cheers for the display of fortitude from both competitors.
Undeterred, Slayton counters with a sudden burst of energy, catching Blackman off guard with a devastating Glitter Bomb (Panama Sunrise). The impactful move leaves Blackman stunned on the mat as Slayton makes the cover for the pinfall victory.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Melody! Slayton!
Amber Westgate: Melody Slayton gets the victory tonight, and you’ve gotta imagine she feels good about this one!
Adam LaRue: Slayton has been looking for a way to get back on track since her loss to Nadia Allen a couple of weeks ago, and this may have been exactly what she needed, Amber!
Slayton stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (GLITTER BOMB)
PWhen the video began to play, the fans of Fusion were able to see a familiar dark room, the same room that had a single light in the center just to be able to not be in the pitch blackness, the pain on the walls chipping off and deteriorating by the day to make the place look more cryptic and unnerving. There were pictures plastered along the wall, photos of other people on the Fusion roster with a mix of eyes being cut out, multiple stab punctures, some of them with an X drawn over them, and some of them even having charred edges on them as if they were burned up a little bit. This time though, there wasn't a chair to be seen in the room which brought up the question, why was there a live feed there? The question would be answered soon enough when very similarly to last time, Hana Kaneko had stepped into camera's view, looking down at the floor as she was dressed in a similar way as the last time she did this, a very classy and expensive suit, this one being multicolored. The pants were a metallic silver color, representing precision and strength. The dress shirt she wore was that color too. The jacket and tie were a metallic gold color, representing wealth and prestige. Hana's family crest was on the suit jacket. A sigh could be heard from Kaneko before she began to speak.
Hana Kaneko: “It's been a little while since we last spoke, hasn't it? A couple weeks, at least. A few things have changed since then, which I'll get to. At this time a few weeks ago, I had my eyes set on a target and one person that I wanted to step into the ring with, which was Ayu Megumi. But…that's changing. For now, at least. You can breathe, but don't get comfortable. That's your only warning, Ayu. Keep going in your direction and don't come anywhere near mine, and don't mess with my business. For now, however? I have other things that I want to clear up and other business to finish. See, there's a situation where I felt completely left in the dark. Just like this room here. I wasn't told about certain things and I felt betrayed. But that's the story of my life, is it not? Don't trust people unless they've fought FOR you. Don't trust people that haven't bled for you.”
Hana took a break from talking for a second just to reach into the jacket of her suit, pulling out what looked like a folded piece of paper. When she unfolded it, the camera was able to see that it was actually a picture of Kimberly Williams, with her eyes scribbled out by a black marker, the Kanji 「裏切り者」 written across the mouth, translated to Traitor. Kaneko took a moment to look at the photo, her eyes then wandering around the room.
Hana Kaneko: “Well…here's where I get to the main point of this. I understand that you two are the best of friends, and that I was an odd person out of the trio. I'm obviously not involved with your Queens of Chaos…Cult? Team? Whatever your group of people call yourselves, so I didn't expect full communication and teamwork. We really could've won that, but now is when I bring up the reason why we lost, Kimberly Williams. If you would've just let me get into the match, it would've gone the other way and we wouldn't be here right now and I wouldn't have to be saying this. But, you felt the need to have to step in and force yourself to be tagged in yourself, and then got pinned in the process. I don't care that we lost, I am annoyed that you two lovers didn't feel the need to inform me about anything at all. What the fuck is the point of being a team if you don't fill your partners in? What am I there for? Just to stand on the apron. Fucking hell—.”
Hana stopped herself, putting two fingers over her mouth for a moment and shook her head along with taking a deep breath to calm herself down. Pacing around for a few moments then cleared her throat.
Hana Kaneko: “Ah—. I can't say too much…I know you're watching this, Kasu—. Erm…Dau—...Chi—...yeah. I know you're watching this and I don't want you to think of me the wrong way.”
Hana Kaneko: “Hmm…but yes. I have my eyes on you now, Kim. I think we need to have our own way to settle this. Obviously the best way to do this is to see you in the ring, but I'll have to wait to see what you say about this in order to find out if you actually want to step in the ring with me. I will always look at you as this though. A traitor. You left me completely in the dark and so did your partner. I never leave business unfinished. Remember that. I won't forget about this until we finish it. And if you decide to see me in the ring? I'll make sure that you pay for this. I'm in a position where I have to set examples and I have to show the right and wrong things to do. And the right thing to do is make sure that this has an ending, whether it goes one way or the other, I'm not leaving this chapter open. The ball is in your court, Kimberly.”
Hana had sighed again, reaching into her pocket where she had taken out a lighter from her pocket, looking at the photo one last time as she had activated it to let the flame light up in the room, bringing it up to the picture while she watched the paper go up in flames. She let the last bit of ash fall to the floor, taking a moment to look down at it before she walked away from the scene, a few seconds of footsteps being heard before the live feed from the room had cut away and went back to Zion's arena feed
MATCH #3: SAMUEL LOPEZ VS NAO SAEGUSA
The lights are dimmed, adding to the tension as the two competitors lock eyes in the center of the ring. Lopez starts the encounter by attempting to unsettle Nao with his demeanor, but she remains resolute, showing no fear. As the match progresses, Nao showcases her impressive moveset, executing armdrags, dropkicks, and headscissors takedowns with precision and agility.
Lopez, not to be outdone, utilizes his brute strength and unnerving tactics to gain the upper hand. He delivers vicious knife-edge chops and powerful suplexes, trying to wear down Nao. However, her fighting spirit shines through, and she fights back with a flurry of strikes, including her signature Pele Kick and roundhouse kicks. The crowd roars with excitement as Nao gains momentum, showcasing her high-flying skills with a breathtaking moonsault.
As the match nears its climax, Nao goes to the top rope, connecting with the Spacium Cut (Top Rope Leg Drop). She goes for the pin, getting a close nearfall. Not deterred, Saegusa takes to the top rope, looking for the Justice Crash. The arena holds its breath as she leaps into the air, but before she can connect, the lights suddenly go out, plunging the arena into darkness. The crowd gasps as they wait in suspense. Moments later, the lights return, and to everyone's shock, Lopez is standing behind Nao, ready to strike.
Seizing the opportunity, Lopez swiftly locks Nao in Enjoy The Silence (Anaconda Vice). Despite Nao's valiant efforts, she succumbs to the eerie pressure, slowly losing consciousness. The referee checks on her, raising her arm to see if she's still in the match, but it falls limp. The crowd's cheers turn to concern as the referee declares Samuel Lopez the victor.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match, via submission…Samuel! Lopez!
Amber Westgate: It may have taken a lot, but Samuel Lopez is able to vanquish the hero Nao Saegusa!
Adam LaRue: This is about more than winning the match though, Amber! To Samuel Lopez, this was about vindication! It was about ultimately proving that Nao Saegusa’s heroics were worthless!
Amber Westgate: Even still, I doubt that Nao Saegusa will take that philosophy lying down!
Lopez stands over Saegusa’s prone body as we fade!
RESULT: SUBMISSION (ENJOY THE SILENCE)
The void seemed to pulsate with an unsettling energy as the cameraman stood transfixed, enveloped by an atmosphere thick with dread and foreboding. The darkness of the room swirled like an ocean of ink, whispering ominous secrets to those who dared to listen. Amidst this eerie scene, the haunting clacking of heels echoed, heralding the arrival of "The Lady Of Despair" Quinn Reid.
Quinn emerged from the shadows, her black robes flowing like cascading shadows, and her presence exuded an aura of malevolence that sent a shiver down the spine. Her eyes, cold and calculating, glinted with an unnerving intensity, as though she could see through every lie and fear buried within the hearts of those who dared to cross her path. By her side, VixSin stood, a monstrous enigma of loyalty and power, bound to Quinn's every whim.
"The Lady Of Despair" Quinn Reid: (her voice like a haunting melody) Welcome, dear cameraman, to my realm of despair. Witness the aftermath of chaos that unfolds when loyalty is misplaced and souls are enslaved.
A sinister grin played across Quinn's lips as she produced the jar, its contents seemingly swirling with otherworldly energy. She held it up, and the jar glowed with an eerie luminance that painted her features in an unholy light.
"The Lady Of Despair" Quinn Reid: (with a cruel glimmer in her eyes) This, my dear VixSin, is Pandora's box—the key to unlocking your deepest fears and darkest nightmares. And tonight, you shall embrace it willingly, for you belong to me, body, mind, and soul.
Quinn's words carried an irresistible command, and VixSin's eyes seemed to glaze over, acknowledging her unyielding obedience to her manager's will. The monstrous enforcer, once a force to be reckoned with, now stood docile and subservient, an instrument of destruction forever bound to Quinn's malevolent desires.
"The Lady Of Despair" Quinn Reid: (a chilling whisper) You see, VixSin is not merely a pawn; she is the embodiment of my wickedness, an extension of my will. Her loyalty to me is absolute, and tonight, she shall prove just how far her devotion can lead her.
With a flourish, Quinn retreated into the shadows, leaving behind an aura of malevolence that seeped into every crevice of the room. VixSin stood there, her massive form trembling with a mix of fear and anticipation, ready to enact whatever cruel command her manager would bestow upon her.
As the cameraman departed, the ominous box with its red star remained, a harbinger of the torment that awaited VixSin at the hands of "The Lady Of Despair" Quinn Reid. The supernatural encounter had unveiled the depths of darkness and control Quinn possessed, leaving no doubt that VixSin's loyalty was both a blessing and a curse, forever binding her to serve the sinister whims of her malevolent manager.
MATCH #4: CODE BLACK VS THE HOUSE OF WOLVES
Olivia Nightshade stepped into the ring, ready to kick things off for her team. Across from her, Danae stood with a quiet intensity. The bell rang, and the match was underway.
Olivia wasted no time and charged towards Danae, attempting a powerful Cobra Clutch Suplex to set the tone early. But Danae showed her agility, cartwheeling out of harm's way. The two circled each other, each trying to gain the upper hand. Olivia's smashmouth style clashed with Danae's technical prowess as they traded strikes and grapples.
Soon, the tags were made, and the ring was now under the control of Ravyn Nightshade and Kassandra. Ravyn brought her brutal and unconventional moveset into play, keeping Kassandra on her toes. Kassandra countered with her impressive power, catching Ravyn with a delayed vertical suplex that sent shockwaves through the crowd.
The House of Wolves displayed their unity and strategic teamwork, using quick tags and double-team moves to keep Code Black off-balance. But the resilient Nightshade sisters refused to be overwhelmed. Olivia made her way back into the match, dishing out her signature stomps to Danae, followed by a Curb Stomp to leave her reeling.
As the match reached its climax, both teams threw everything they had at each other. Ravyn managed to land her Package Piledriver, while Danae locked in her devastating Crossface submission. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as the competitors fought tooth and nail.
In the end, it was Kassandra who sealed the deal for The House of Wolves. She evaded Ravyn's Khaos Buster and countered with the Kass Smash (Pumphandle Powerbomb), driving her opponent into the mat with authority. The referee's hand hit the canvas three times, declaring The House of Wolves as the victors.
Darrion Hughes: The winners of this match…The House! Of Wolves!
Amber Westgate: The House sees victory once again, and against a team as seasoned as Code Black!
Adam LaRue: Legion may currently be busy with VixSin, but it seems as though their Wolves may be en route to Tag Team Title contention!
The Wolves stand tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (KASS SMASH)
The scene opens backstage, where we see the posh Barbie Angelica Matthews sitting in a make-up chair, dressed in her bright pink ring gear, getting ready for her match against a fiery and ready Alexis Lemon. The former Zion Wrestling champion is getting the final touches done to her makeup, wanting to look the part before she heads in front of the useless cretins known as the Zion Wrestling fans. The makeup artist soon stops and holds up a mirror to the smug New Yorker, who looks at herself pleased as she says in the most smug tone possible.
Angelica Matthews: Alexis Lemon, who does she think she is? Like she gets distracted just because I was watching a match and decided to get a closer look, she decides to attack me the following week unprovoked, mind you. Like, do you believe the nerve of some people?!
The fans boo this statement; however, it isn’t like Angelica can even hear them, and if she could, it’s not like she’d care at all. However, Jan soon spoke up a bit, though she tried to keep it professional.
Jan: Well, why did you go up to the ring? You had a good seat; there was no need to do that unless you were attempting to distract Lemon on purpose, and if so, why wouldn’t she get upset by it?
Angelica couldn’t believe the woman's audacity as she tried to touch her again; the blonde soon held up her hand, giving an almost death glare to the woman. As she soon began to speak in a very direct bitchy tone.
Angelica Matthews: Okay, don’t ever speak to me in such a tone ever again?! See, unlike you and the rest of these losers, I have been at the top of this company once. I will be again; it doesn’t matter if it is on Mayhem or now on Fusion; this is my world, and I suggest you watch your tone with me. You are my long-time private makeup artist, and I tolerate a bit more from you than I should; that will change quickly if you keep it up. Do you understand me?
Jan: Understood, but do you think you’re underestimating her? If I may be honest, she has made a splash all over from hosting the Dark Net show to the internet championship. She isn’t one to take lightly at all.
Angelica once again gave a dirty look toward her makeup artist, talking to her of all people like she was the rookie in this match. The Hamptons native had wrestled worldwide for years; she had been at the top of the mountain many times, and yet her makeup artist, who hadn’t had a match, thought she could give her advice.
Angelica Matthews: Duh, of course, I am aware of her; why do you think I watched her match just for the kicks? I know Lemon and what she can do, but let’s be honest, shall we? There is a reason she hasn’t been to the top of the Zion Wrestling Mountain yet. I have already been there, and now that I am back, I won’t accept anything less than that to be at the very top, and If I have to go through Lemon to do it, so be it. I will go through everyone because I am the center of the Fusion…scratch that…Zion World. I am Angelica Matthews now let me ask you this, since you want to give your opinions what is it you like about her?
Jan: Well…
Angelica rudely throws up her hand, which silences what the middle aged woman was about to say.
Angelica Matthews: It doesn’t matter why you or anyone else likes her that isn’t the point, the point is tonight I begin my rise back to the top, now if you excuse me I have a match to win, because Zion is and has always been Angelica's World!
Angelica Matthews then gets up knowing she looks good, she then saunters off in a huff ready for tonight's match with the Fiery Alexis Lemon, Jan looks confused shaking her head at her employer as the scene fades to black.
MATCH #5: ALEXIS LEMON VS ANGELICA MATTHEWS
The match begins with intense energy as Lemon hits Matthews with a flurry of high-flying moves. Lemon executes a running hurricanrana followed by a tornado DDT, leaving Matthews reeling. But Matthews, being the sleazy heel she is, quickly resorts to dirty tactics, raking Lemon's eyes and targeting her leg with a rope-assisted knee drop. Despite the pain, Lemon fights back with resilience, countering Matthews' low blows and snap suplexes with her own agile offense.
As the match progresses, the two women engage in a back-and-forth battle. Lemon hits a picture-perfect springboard clothesline, sending Matthews crashing to the mat. However, Matthews cleverly uses the ropes for leverage in a reverse chin lock, taking control of the match once again. Frustrated by Lemon's resilience, Matthews employs a seated kick to her face, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Lemon, fueled by the support of the crowd, mounts a comeback. She catches Matthews with a roundhouse kick and follows up with a running knee lift. Just when it seems like Lemon is about to seal the deal with the Gloomy Sunday, Matthews cunningly pushes her down to the outside. Matthews sees an opportunity before her as Lemon is left laying at ringside. She climbs out of the ring after her, untying one side of the ring apron and wrapping it around her leg befeor climbing back into the ring. With Lemon's leg trapped in the cloth of the ring apron, she struggles to re-enter the ring before the referee's count reaches ten, leading to Angelica Matthews winning the match via count out.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match, as the result of a countout…Angelica! Matthews!
Amber Westgate: Of course she would! Of course she would! Why would I have expected anything different?! Angelica Matthews escapes Lemon’s wrath by the skin of her teeth by cheating!
Adam LaRue: A unique way of doing it too! Lemon is still stuck in that apron!
Matthews has her hand raised by the official as we fade!
RESULT: COUNTOUT
The scene starts up backstage as we can see Erika Crawford preparing for her main event match, that is just moments away. We see her go to step towards gorilla as her husband, Kasey Kash runs into frame.
Erika Crawford: Kasey! What are you doing? Where’s Ryan?
Kasey Kash: Relax baby… Ryans with Elijah. I came here to watch your match from gorilla… I’m so proud of you, E. I believe in you.
Erika gives him a soft smile, before then wrapping her arms around him, pulling him close in a tight hug. Kasey is a bit taken aback by this at first, before reciprocating the hug.
Erika Crawford: At least one of us is, Kasey… what… what if I’m not good enough tonight? What if everything I’ve worked towards now was for nothing?
As Erika vents to Kasey, he looks at her, before pulling back from the hug and softly placing his hands on either side of her face.
Kasey Kash: Fuck what everyone else thinks, E… I know you’re talented. Shit you wouldn’t be in this spot right now if management didn’t think the same…
He kisses her forehead.
Kasey Kash: ...and even on the slim to none chance you don’t win this, Erika… you still have me. You still have RJ… you still got the Queens of Chaos. We’re all going to love and support you no matter what happens, love…
This side of Kasey isn’t what we normally see. This Kasey was more… supportive. Caring. Loving.
Kasey Kash: ...we’re gonna be so… so fucking proud of you.
Erika looks up at her husband and smiles, giving him a quick peck on the cheek as we can hear her theme starting up in the background, and she walks out of frame as the scene fades to ringside.
Amber Westgate: Well tonight has been huge so far, but don’t let it distract you from the huge night of wrestling we have on tap for you tomorrow night as we bring you The Foundations of Decay live right here from Zion Wrestling Stadium! The opening match is set to be big, as we have a 5-on-5 Elimination Tag Team Match between Team Zion and Team XIX!

Amber Westgate: In the first of our clashes of champions, Fusion’s Viral Champion, Gianna Rojas, and Mayhem’s Endurance Champion, Robert Kaiden Oakley will be in Triple Threat action against XIX’s Weekend Warrior Champion, SWITCHBLXDE!
Adam LaRue: And in our second Triple Threat, the always dominant National Champion, Kaitlin Williams, will be in action against Internet Champion, Ricky Rodriguez, and XIX’s Darkhorse Champion, Reverend Martin West!

Adam LaRue: In the first of three championship matches on the card, we have a dream match of epic proportions as Kasey Kash challenges Jordan Majors for the Zion World Championship!
Amber Westgate: After earning her ticket to the top months ago, The Butcher finally closes in on her target! Will she succeed in taking the XIX World Championship from Jessi Ozborne, or will the dream continue for the World’s Finest?
