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: Coming off of an action-packed night at The Foundations of Decay, the blue crew is back to bring even more bangers to your TV sets! Welcome everyone…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Amber Westgate, joined as always by my partner Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: Amber, tonight is gonna be a big one! We have the start to what is now being christened as the Gateway Championship Tournament, as well as a #1 Contenders Match for the National Championship on tap!
Amber Westgate: But we can’t talk about tonight without talking about the major Main Event we have in store! Champions collide as National Champion Kaitlin Williams goes one-on-one with World Champion Jordan Majors to end this show!!
As Fusion began, we hear a familiar My Chemical Romance tune beginning to play, as Daria would come out with a mic to address the crowd who were in a mixed reaction from what they would assume to be more XIX reputation, as she puts her hand across her neck.
Daria Dorsey:
"Cut it off, if I were part of XIX I would think about cutting myself, too."
She said, now getting audible boos from the crowd, as she mocked them.
Daria Dorsey:
"Oh, here we are again with the fake Fandom. None of you cared about XIX during their long hiatus. None of you cared about these minor league talents coming in, even when they embarrassed a lot of Zion talents that night…Shows how much of a leader some people say they are. Remember who really led Zion in the war on NFW…"
She said with a humble brag towards herself, actually successful when she fought invaders.
Daria Dorsey:
"So you got to see a lot of our talent actually do their job, and you got to see Jessi Ozborne lose one of her eleven titles she has everywhere else. But you know what you didn't see? Me. I wasn't wasting my time on that fight, because there was nothing there worth my time. It's all another delay until I get a title shot I deserve."
She said, shifting gears toward her rightful claim for a title opportunity.
Daria Dorsey:
"If it wasn't for Jessi interfering, Kasey Kash's knees wouldn't be able to support his weight, and he wouldn't have even made it to face Jordan in that grueling hour long match both put on. He was dead to rights…but Jessi couldn't bear to see him getting his ass whooped. After all, he is the closest thing she ever had to a father. But having him in so much pain he can't move his legs to get his boots off is definitely better than being in a wooden box, isn't it?"
She says, hitting below the belt to talk about Jessi's dead father again, knowing it would eat at her, as the crowd booed her again.
Daria Dorsey:
"You should consider yourself lucky. Your dad at least supported you…"
She said with a soft tone, as the crowd would be in a confused and hushed tone.
Daria Dorsey:
"You mom at least knew better, and booted your bum ass out of the house! So then you latch onto your ‘wrestling mom’ like a leech, and boost your name in this business…what do I get?! A deadbeat sperm donor that made four kids to boost his welfare checks. I was destined to be nothing, but I worked my ass off for everything I earned here in Zion, and you have the audacity to try and stop me from getting what I deserve!"
Just then, the crowd's excessive booing turns to cheers, as “Bones Exposed” by Of Mice & Men begins to blare over the speaker. Out through the curtain comes Jessi Ozborne, adorned in her leather QoC jacket and ripped black jeans. She stands at the top of the stage, soaking in the reaction from the crowd before making her way down to the ring. Daria sneers at Jessi as she collects a microphone from one of the ringside techs and begins to address her.
Jessi Ozborne
”Before we get started…let me just say that the only reason you’re not laid out on the mat right now is because I wanna use this microphone to clown the fuck outta you first.”
The crowd gives Jessi remarks another pop, all of them seemingly waiting for someone like Jessi to say this to Daria’s face.
Jessi Ozborne
”Daria Dorsey, everyone! I mean come on, give it up for her! You almost have to, right? She’s impressive. She really is. I ain’t just talking about the gold and the accolades, though. Nah nah. What’s truly impressive is how Daria Dorsey can come out here week after week after week and maintain her role of embodying the phrase ‘You can get very far in life as long as you pretend to know what you’re doing.’”
Daria continues to sneer at Jessi as she continues.
Jessi Ozborne
”You don’t believe me, ladies and gentlemen? Just take a moment to think about what she’s decided to bitch about this week! The fact that she didn’t make it onto The Foundations of Decay. Take a moment to take in the phrasing. ‘I wasn’t wasting my time on it’, ‘It wasn’t worth my time.’ Spoken like someone in shambles trying to sound like they know what they’re doing. Because your value can’t be called into question, right? Nah. It’s not that they didn’t want you there, it’s that you didn’t wanna be there. Makes all the difference.”
We cut back over to Daria, as we see her mouthing to Jessi “What’s your point?”
Jessi Ozborne
”See but this time is where pretending to know what you’re doing is gonna bite you in the ass, Dorsey. Because you decided to go on talking about having to bust ass to succeed in the same breath you made fun of me for getting kicked out of my mother’s house. You wanna talk about me leeching off of Tarah Nova’s name. Do you know what age I got kicked out of my mother’s house? 16. Wanna know what age I met Tarah Nova? 19. That’s three years, Dorsey.”
Jessi looks down before continuing.
Jessi Ozborne
”Three years I spent living out of a shitty Jeep with a busted heater and a choppy speaker. Three years of begging for extra bookings just to get by. Three years of running the indies, probably doing some shit I shouldn’t have been doing, probably trusting some people I didn’t have any business trusting. I ran my paces and I came out the other side to be right here in front of you today, so don’t lecture me about having a bust ass as if I don’t know the first thing about it, because busting ass is all I’ve been doing since 2018 when I walked into this business and it’s what I’ma keep doing long after I stomp your dick in the dirt.”
Daria would smirk at that comment, before following up.
Daria Dorsey:
"Of course, we get your sob story about your life, so you can manipulate people into liking you yet again. I could talk about myself and my upbringing all day, if I wanted to. I could mention that this business shunned girls who were working on crossing over from the LFL when it went under. But that's not what people here want to see. No, I'm the top athlete this company, or any other has ever seen. And some journeywoman decided to come over to my house, the house the Zenith built, and disrespect me. You wanna fight about it? We'll make things official, because we don't do brawling like you indie urchins do around here.”
Daria said coldly, annoyed by her, and wanting to get paid for a proper fight like the marquee act she believes herself to be.
Jessi Ozborne
”We?!”
Jessi looks absolutely perplexed by the notion Daria is supporting.
Jessi Ozborne
”I’m sorry, do you think I just don’t watch the product, homie? That’s literally all we do here. It’s what I’m sure a few dozen people are gonna do tonight. It’s what you were doing with that Kangaroo Jack looking motherfucker who’s “running” the other show around this time last year…or was it getting your ass beat by her that made you into such a soft little bitch?”
Jessi says, obviously trying to incite a violent reaction from Daria to make her look like a hypocrite. She ends up getting her wish, with Daria seemingly turning to leave before uncorking with a forearm that sends Jessi to the mat! Daria mounts Jessi, looking to continue unloading on her with punches to the head! Jessi turns it around however, pushing her to the mat and nailing her with a few strikes to the head as well. Eventually a group of referees rush out from the back, splitting the two apart. The two of them are ushered away from the ring, blood filling both their mouths as they both got some pretty good shots on each other. The only difference in their faces at this point is that while Daria continues to yell, Jessi only smiles, being proven right by this very confrontation.
Hana Kaneko
We see Kimberly Williams walking into the scene from the left. The Woman Scorned is dressed in her black and crimson wrestling gear. The deranged ginger has a ridiculous looking pirate on her head and is carrying her beloved (and deadly) toy penguin Wasley, which is wrapped in barbed wire.
Kimberly Williams: You know what pisses me off, Hana? Streaming services! Why should I have to get a fucking subscription for Disney+ or Hulu just to watch one damn show?!
Kim tilts her head to one side and furrows her brow curiously.
Kimberly Williams: But that has nothing to do with our beef, does it? Unless you like streaming services. In that case, screw you and your Hulu!
She sneers. She holds Wasley up menacingly.
Kimberly Williams: You know what Wasley hates? He hates controversy. He hates when things don’t go according to plan. You and me? We didn’t go according to plan. Fusion 90, only ONE person was supposed to win that qualifying match. But we fought to a draw. Fusion 91 you screwed up the plan and cost our team against Las Olvidadas.
Kim shrugs her shoulders.
Kimberly Williams: I suppose that one could technically have been my fault, but me and Blaze Darling took a vote and we said you were to blame. Democracy! But you know what really gets on Wasley’s last nerve? Team Zion lost at Foundations of Decay. That was supposed to be our night. We were supposed to stand tall. Now I know you weren’t involved in the controversy at the end, neither was I, but I can’t help but think if there had been better chemistry between the two of us, things might have been different.
She shakes her head.
Kimberly Williams: But Foundations of Decay is in the past. It’s over. And you and I have no need for awkward friendships. And since I am still very angry over the failures of the past few weeks, I have decided to exorcize my frustrations and angst by maiming you.
Kim points at the camera.
Kimberly Williams: Tonight, Hana, I am going to be your worst nightmare. I am not coming to win a wrestling match…if I happen to pin or submit you, that’s just icing on the cake…I am here to hurt you. I am here to beat you to death. So get ready to kiss your ass goodbye.
OPENING CONTEST: HANA KANEKO VS KIMBERLY WILLIAMS
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Boston, Massachusetts…weighing in at 120 lbs…Kimberly! Williams!
And her opponent…from Fukuoka, Japan…weighing in at 143 lbs…Hana! Kaneko!
Amber Westgate: Hana Kaneko’s issues with Kimberly Williams really stemmed from how things went just two weeks ago in a Trios match against Las Olvidadas! Some miscommunication between the two would cost them a win and some much needed momentum going into The Foundations of Decay! Do you think that wrong footing between Kaneko and Williams is what ultimately sunk Team Zion against Team XIX!
Adam LaRue: First off, Amber, there was a lot more wrong with Team Zion than just those two! But their budding tensions certainly didn’t help matters! Now that they no longer have a reason to work together, I’d say it’s prime time for them to start beating the hell out of each other instead!
This match starts off slow paced, with Williams cycling the ring around Kaneko before going in to grapple! Kaneko doesn’t seem interested in this however, immediately reversing a Wristlock attempt from Williams and nailing her in the midsection with a Knee Strike instead! She pulls Williams in, getting her in position before dropping her with a Brainbuster! Kaneko floats over for an early pin attempt!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Williams! Kaneko pulls Williams to her feet, getting her up on her shoulders and looking for a G2S! But Williams is able to slip down, pushing Kaneko from behind and into the ropes before catching her upon return with a Dropkick! Kaneko falls back into the ropes, coming back as Williams attempts to get to her feet again with a Penalty Kick! Williams is laid out on the mat, with Kaneko hitting the adjacent ropes in an attempt to follow up! But Williams is able to counter, rolling over and snatching Kaneko’s leg to trip her forward! She quickly ceases the upper hand, cinching in an Ankle Lock that has Kaneko reeling! She tries to reach the ropes to no avail, as every attempt to do so is met with Williams pulling her back to the center of the ring! Eventually Kaneko finds an opening to escape, rolling forward and nailing Williams with a Kick to the midsection in the process! Kaneko stumbles up to her feet, with Williams charging right back up to her to keep the advantage! Kaneko is able to dodge her as she advances however, sending her into the ropes and quickly taking her down with a Snap German Suplex! She bridges for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Williams! Kaneko looks for a big move, quickly climbing to the top rope and going for a Spiral Tap! But Williams is able to roll out of the way, leaving Kaneko reeling on the mat! She staggers her way up to her feet, with Williams getting up as well and smashing her over the temple with a Discus Forearm! Kaneko is left doubled over, with Williams hitting the ropes and connecting with a Dropkick to the side of the head! Williams looks to finish this off now, backing into the corner as Kaneko looks to get to her feet and looking for Morrigan’s Wrath! But Kaneko dodges the Superkick, replying instead with a Spinning Backfist! She quickly pivots now, looking to send Williams to the mat with a Bladestopper! Williams counters however, getting Kaneko in position before dropping her with a Uranage! Pin by Williams!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Kaneko! Williams once again backs into the corner, waiting for Kaneko to get to her feet before once again looking for Morrigan’s Wrath! Kaneko counters as Williams comes towards her, however, connecting with the Fukuoka Kick! Brazilian Kick connects! Williams falls back into the ropes, seeming done for! She bounces back toward Kaneko, surprising her as she launches back at her with the Shadowblade! Busaiku Knee Strike connects! Pin by Williams!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Kimberly! Williams!
Amber Westgate: Kimberly Williams with the shock win to start off the night!
Adam LaRue: Williams has always fancied herself as an unpredictable competitor, but the way she was able to literally bounce back and win this one definitely takes that status to new heights!
Williams rolls out of the ring, raising her hands in victory as she backs up the ramp! Meanwhile, in the ring, Kaneko sits up, staring off into space! It’s clear from the look in her eyes that she’s furious, and that it’s taking everything in her power not to scream at the top of her lungs over how that match played out! She rejects the referee’s request to help her up, pushing them away before exiting the ring as we fade!

Devyn Mitchell stands alongside Nadia Allen in the interview area backstage. Nadia's face is tightened. There's a mouthpiece resting on her left earlobe. She is dressed in her ring gear as well as her black and silver leather jacket.
Devyn Mitchell: Devyn Mitchell here. Right now I'm with Nadia Allen, who is all business. You certainly have your gameface on.
Nadia keeps her lips pressed together, slightly nodding her head.
Devyn Mitchell: Later tonight, you get a crack at one of the girls that's been gunning for you, Eden Sterling. You have to think ISIS is going to be watching this very closely. And based off of how Eden has attacked you from behind, after matches, during matches, your head is going to have to be on a swivel.
Devyn extends the mic towards Nadia. The red head glares at it, her face now resting in a scowl.
Nadia: There's not much that needs to be said.
Her tone was sharp.
Nadia: Eden, fate didn't tell you. Or Maki. Or ISIS to mess with me. Fate didn't tell you to ruin my chance of winning the National title. ISIS told you and Maki to do it. And because you can't speak up for yourself, you did it. twice. Big mistake.
Her nostrils flare.
Nadia: Nowhere to run tonight, Eden. When you mess with me? Thinking I'm going to roll over? It becomes personal. You're the first. I'm going to gut you like a fish. Then Maki. Then ISIS. One. By. One.
Nadia gazes at Devyn before turning her back against her and walking away.
REINA MENDOZA VS JESSICA CARTER
This is less of a match and more of a slaughter, with Mendoza immediately rushing Carter off the bell and dropping her with Spear!

She gets Carter to her feet again, this time dropping her with a Crash & Burn (Fireman’s Carry Cutter)! She pins for the win!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Reina! Mendoza!
Amber Westgate: Reina Mendoza with the brutal comeback victory tonight!
Adam LaRue: If there’s one thing you can count on with her, it’s to wreck folks in record time!
Mendoza stands tall, having her hand raised by Evangeline Sinclair! Before anything else however, Mendoza is quickly taken down from behind! The culprit is revealed to be Blaze Darling, who continues to batter Mendoza with punches while she’s down!
Amber Westgate: Looks like Blaze Darling still hasn’t let go of who cost her in her match at The Foundations of Decay!
Adam LaRue: And it looks as though a receipt is imminent, Amber!
Darling is eventually pulled away by Evangeline Sinclair, who immediately cowers away when she’s met face to face with The Firestarter! Darling runs her out of the ring, turning around to a Spear from Mendoza! She pulls Darling up, looking for a Powerbomb! But Darling reverses with a few well-timed strikes to the head, before sending Mendoza over the ropes with a Headscissor! Darling sees an opening, hitting the ropes and looking for a Suicide Dive! But before she can leap out of the ring, Evangeline Sinclair once again steps in, pulling her client out of harm's way and helping her up the rampway!
Amber Westgate: Mendoza escapes for tonight, but with each clash it becomes more and more clear to see that Darling has the Tejana Giantess’ number!
Adam LaRue: That must scare the hell out of Evangeline Sinclair! Blaze Darling may just have the tools to leave her without her meal ticket!
Darling calls Mendoza and Sinclair, telling them to come back to the ring and finish things as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (CRASH & BURN)
“LIKE IT! LOVE IT!” By Setsuna Yuki begins to play as the crowd cheers loudly as Ayu Megumi walked out with a widened smile on her face. She waved at the fans with a smile before giving them a big smile. before she held up a thumbs up telling them good before pointing a finger at the fans. before she slowly headed towards the ring. On the way, she greeted the fans. With the fans adoring her, Ayu keeps tagging her hands with the fans. She walks over to the timekeeper to ask for the microphone before she rolls up to the ring, before her theme fades away before Ayu gazes at the titantron as she rests her arm on the rope. before she started to speak.
Ayu Megumi: Good evening everyone! wow! Thank you for the warm welcome tonight! Of course, you guys always surprise me because I didn't expect so many people cheering for me! Well, I can't say that my last match here was quite disappointing. But it's undeniable how strong Samuel Lopez is. But this week was different then, of course I finally had the opportunity to face the person who made me not even a champion in Zion, of course, that person was my sister, Maki Megumi, I not forgetting what happened to me that night, Maki decides to help ISIS and stay loyal to ISIS, arguing that she is God. I think that's ridiculous, ISIS is not God and I'm almost able to prove that ISIS can be defeated. Now I think my sister has lost too much. I'm going to do what Nami didn't do, I'm going to bring Maki back to her senses because what she's doing right now is just too much. Everything she had done since fighting Nami was too much, and of course it was my who he her sister's duty to bring my sister back home. If Maki's brains haven't really been washed yet I really hope she knows that everything I will do after this is because I really need her. I need her the most. I don't want to see my sister become anyone's tool. It would hurt if I saw my sister as just a tool of God that I don't think I would respect, so Maki, before our match tonight, I have something to say! Come out here now!
After a while no one came out, the crowd in Zion Wrestling Stadium expressed dissatisfaction with what had happened, they started boos and started chants “Maki sucks Maki sucks Maki sucks” while Ayu continued to stare. looked at the titantron with little hope that her sister would come out. But for a moment, the crowd's voices seemed to grow louder as Maki Megumi walked out of the crowd before she climbed over the barricade and rolled into the ring with a microphone in her hand. The sound of the fans made Ayu turn around in an instant and she met Maki standing in front of her with a smile that couldn't be trusted even for a second. The two stared at each other without Ayu even smiling as Maki slowly raised the microphone to speak to her sister.
Maki Megumi: Do you really want me little girl? Do you really want that in your heart? Or do you really just want revenge?
Maki spoke before slowly walking towards Ayu Megumi, causing her to step back until her back against the rope while Maki let out a wicked smile before Maki ran her hand through Ayu's hair and stared at with a ghastly look before she started talking to Ayu again.
Maki Megumi: I won't believe anything you say, Ayu, until you prove to me that you really want me. Just as my god showed how much she needed me, ISIS values me. But what I say I don't believe you. Because even you are my sister you believed in me later than ISIS so don't waste your time. It's best Ayu You and I are now standing in complete opposites. And what do I tell it to be you and Nami who didn't appreciate me in the first place? If asked who was the one who was dumped It was me from the start. And now I'm coming across a good and right path for me. What else are you going to take from me?
Ayu Megumi shook her head in disappointment from what she heard before she stared at her older sister with eyes full of disappointment, she slowly raised her microphone as she stared at Maki by Didn't even blink for a second.
Ayu Megumi: That's not true. Me and Nami have always valued you. Me and Nami have always wanted you. If Nami didn't need you, would Nami do what you want then? Don't use your own misunderstanding to speak to me like this, Maki, I sincerely want to help you. But since you haven't seen it yet. Someday you'll see that in the end, it's me who's finally going to give you a helping hand. I guess the most important thing right now is our match tonight right? Of course it's the most important because I'll never forget what you did. It hurts Maki, it hurts that my one chance was taken away from me by my own sister. But tonight, only one person can go on. Only one person can walk the road to success. I will use this match to defeat you. And for everything you've done to me, I can forgive you. But tonight I will give you everything I have. Use everything I have to defeat you. No matter what, tonight is the most important. Beating you is the most important thing to me tonight. For me it's embarrassing. But now I have no choice but to get rid of you and then help you. Let you wake up from your own nightmare. I know deep in your heart You want me and Nami too. Even though you haven't said it yet, believe me, Maki, there's nothing you can hide from me. I've known you since I was a kid. I know you better than anyone here. Blood is always thicker than water. I believe that in the end you will choose your family over anything else. No matter what happens between us tonight You're always welcomed by your family, Maki, whether you've done bad things to me or Nami, but we've never thought of leaving you behind. I hope you take what I've said into your mind.
Ayu finished speaking and she immediately rolled down from the ring before she headed backstage to the cheers of her adoring fans.
Maki Megumi: I don't believe in any of your lies.
Maki speaks before the final scene as Maki Megumi stares at Ayu from behind before the scene fades away.

RESULT: PINFALL (SKULL BRASHER)
The cameraman stepped through the door onto the rough seas. The ship was headed to one of the islands in the distance, as standing on the top part of the ship watching over all was Ms. J. She saw the cameraman standing there, and pointed down, as there was a door standing there. He nodded understanding what Ms. J had said, the Queen had taken her place inside, the sounds of a hammer ringing through the room, as she painted three stars on it, hiding the item within. She heard the door open, not looking up from her project, she continued to focus on it.
"The Queen" Legion: See what we knew about our girls was accurate, they took down Code Black with ease, and Kassandra has stepped her game up. Now we are going to step ours up, see VixSin you are learning things that we expect you to. Pandora's box is meant to bring out the worst in a person, so we can really test them, and you've only been in our arena once. We've chosen this fate for you because above all else, you will either come out the other side, with a win or learn that the truth hurts, and your little handler will have to explain to you.
Legion giggles as she snaps her fingers, as Ms. J appears soaking, as Legion bows before her, handing her the box she had been carefully working on. She then turns to the cameraman taking him by the arm, heading out to the deck of the ship. She smiled as the rain stopped, and the clouds remained. She looked down at the crew with her purple eyes, then over at the cameraman giving him a soft smile. The sounds of clanging metal in the distance are heard. Legion points in the direction, her lead nodding as he directs them to the point.
"The Queen" Legion: We'll say it to you once and only once Vixsin, right when you think you have figured out our game...The game changes, and you'll have to play by our rules. Whenever the joker and their assistant have decided we will face off next, that is when the true Pandora's Box will be opened, and the evil we are going to unleash will be something that has not been seen for a long time. You've made a point of attacking us, attacking our wolves, in Pandora's Box the transgressions that you have wreaked upon us, will be returned 10 fold. Then we can focus on our next project, but we'll keep that under our coat for now.
Kassandra and Danae bring the chest over, as Legion looks down upon it. She picks up some of the coins, the gold reflecting against her violet eyes. She then dropped the coins back into the box, and the cameraman tried to go for them, which Legion laughed at. She then saw the mainland approaching, which she pointed at, Kassandra and Danae jumped over, starting their swim to shore.
"The Queen" Legion: Vixsin, Quinn, consider this your warning, the one that should be heeded. Time is growing near, and Pandora will feast upon a soul. Dragon sickness will consume you, so our suggestion is to take this and leave.
Legion pointed at the door that had formed next to them, she watched as the cameraman turned towards the door. Legion grabbed his arm hard, then looked over at him.
"The Queen" Legion: Remember death comes for everyone sooner or later...Till next time.
Legion then pushed the door shut, the cameraman was back in the arena hallway, where a box lay on a table with three pink stars on it.
MATCH #4: SATIVA BISCOTTI VS TAJNIA MUSTAFI
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERS MATCH
Biscotti kicked things off with a flurry of quick and precise kicks, demonstrating her mastery of striking techniques. Mustafi, however, responded with her own hard-hitting offense, delivering strong European uppercuts and punishing knee strikes. The intensity in the ring was palpable as the two competitors exchanged powerful maneuvers, neither willing to back down.
As the match progressed, Biscotti gained the upper hand with a well-executed Shiranui followed by a rolling cutter. She locked in a Crossface submission, applying pressure and testing Mustafi's resilience. But Mustafi, fueled by her fighting spirit, managed to escape and counter with a stunning Exploder Suplex that sent shockwaves through the arena.
Mustafi continued to showcase her strength and technical prowess, using a Dragon Sleeper with body scissors to wear down Biscotti and soften her up for the battle ahead. Biscotti fought back valiantly, unleashing an impressive array of moves including a Split-legged moonsault and a picture-perfect Springboard clothesline. The match reached its climax as both competitors traded nearfalls, leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats.
Just when it seemed like one of these remarkable women would secure the victory, the unexpected happened. The atmosphere shifted as Shazzah Nasty stormed the ring. With ruthless intent, Nasty unleashed a devastating assault on both Biscotti and Mustafi, leaving them battered and incapacitated. The referee signaled for the bell, declaring the match a no contest due to the interference.
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen…I have just been informed that the official has ruled this match a No Contest!
Amber Westgate: Aw, what the hell?!
Adam LaRue: Looks like we don’t have another contender lined up thanks to Shazzah Nasty!
Nasty continues to lay waste to both women, getting Biscotti to her feet especially and dropping her with a Fatal Attraction (Double Underhook Piledriver)! She stands tall over both women as we fade!
RESULT: NO CONTEST
Backstage the cameras are catching up with the chaos and the very person responsible for causing it. Having just made her presence and thoughts more than well known, Shazzah Nasty is strolling back through the halls, a nasty smirk on her lips as she wipes some blood and smeared makeup from them. The woman seems VERY pleased with herself though, as one could safely assume from her leisurely, and proud stroll. ZION interviewer is the first one to catch up with her, and comes rushing in from a side hallway with all the needed production assistants in tow.
Vinny James: Shazz! Shazzah Nasty!
She was expecting this and slowed her stroll to a full stop. Still it was never the woman’s style to be anything less than difficult, and nasty. Hands on her hips, she smirks to the man.
Shazz Nasty: Vinnie James! I see we both know each other’s names…
Vinny: Well, Tajnia and Sativa Biscotti certainly know yours now, as if they didn’t already! What made you decide to go out and interrupt their match though?
Shazz: Because I’m a Nasty Bitch, for starters. How about that, Vinny? It’s something Tajnia knows and was ducking her head from having to deal with the fallout of that she brought down upon herself. Since she decided that she wants to play Nasty, I decided to show her what it means to actually be Nasty.
I mean what I say. I told her that it was beef on sight and I meant that. She was due an ass beating and I got tired of the little twit ducking it, so I brought it right to her front door.
Vinny James: And what about Sativa Biscotti?
The woman let out a visceral snarl of disgust, and her head snapped to the side to look at Vinnie in abject displeasure.
Shazz Nasty: What about her? As far as I’m concerned, this was a favor, an act of charity on my part. Biscotti got lucky last week in our match, but she needed to know that luck doesn’t last in this business. It lasts just as long as good, sweet little girls here, and they get turned out quicker than old socks.
I’m showing Sativa that if you want to be more than just a silly gimmick… You want to be more than just pretty looks? You want people to actually give a shit and put some respect on your goddamn name? Well, that means you have to get Nasty, Vinnie.
And I’m Nasty like you all here in ZION have never seen...
Shazzah was all grins now, and leaned over and forward towards Vinnie. She tapped the tip of his nose with her index finger, laughing while she did so, and then turned back in the direction she had originally been headed in. To where was anyone’s guess. Maybe the locker room, maybe her hotel, or maybe even somewhere, somehow, nastier than even here…
MATCH #5: ZARA IVORY VS MAI BLACKMAN
GATEWAY QUALIFIER
The atmosphere was electric as the bell rang, signaling the start of what would become an unforgettable contest. Ivory wasted no time in showcasing her dynamic moveset. She unleashed a flurry of kicks, dropkicks, and clotheslines, keeping Mai Blackman on her toes.
Blackman countered with her own unique arsenal of grappling and striking maneuvers. She expertly executed single and double leg takedowns, transitioning seamlessly into submission attempts that kept Ivory guessing. The mat became their battleground as Blackman locked in a Peruvian Necktie, testing Ivory's endurance and pain threshold.
As the match escalated, both competitors demonstrated their unwavering resolve. Ivory's aerial prowess was on full display as she soared off the top rope with picture-perfect moonsaults and diving sentons. However, Blackman's mastery of Judo allowed her to execute flawless takedowns and hip tosses, asserting her dominance in close-quarter combat. The momentum swung back and forth like a pendulum, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.
In the climactic moments of the match, Blackman seized an opportunity to lock in a Rear Naked Choke, cinching it in tight as the crowd roared in anticipation. Just when it seemed like Ivory might be forced to submit, she managed to roll backward, catching Blackman off guard and turning the tables. The referee's hand slapped the mat for the third time, and the arena erupted in cheers as Ivory secured the surprise pinfall victory.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Zara! Ivory!
Amber Westgate: Zara Ivory moves on into the Gateway Championship Tournament!
Adam LaRue: It came super close, but in the end, Ivory was just a bit more clever! Still doesn’t seem like Blackman is taking it well!
Ivory rolls out of the ring, having her hand raised by the official as she locks eyes with an angry Blackman! We fade on the visual of Ivory shrugging to her furious former opponent!
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)
We open up in a locker room where we see Eden Sterling sander there talking with the God of Destruction, ISIS. We can't quite hear what they are saying but Eden is studiously listening and nodding every now and then. After a moment of this, ISIS notices the camera, tapping Evan's arm and pointing it out to her. Eden chuckles as she turns towards the camera, readjusting her gauntlets as she locks her gaze upon it.
Eden Sterling: What did I say before, Nadia? That this was strictly business. It was never truly about you, I'm fact, if you had lost that match I would have attacked the other person. Why? Because I wanted to make a statement, to make an impact after being so unceremoniously fired from Mayhem. You just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Eden licks her lips as she shrugs her shoulders.
Eden Sterling: But you chose to take offense to it, you chose to take it to heart and if you want to "gut me like a fish" as you put it. Well darling, I'd like to see you try. Because you aren't facing off against some dim witted lackey. I know exactly what I signed up for when I placed myself along ISIS. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, one that works extremely well for me. As The Right Hand of Destruction, I'm going to impose my will on the whole roster, not just you. You are just the first in a long line of casualties. Just merely an obstacle to be overcome and brushed aside.
Eden rolls her head from side to side.
Eden Sterling: I know you fancy yourself as this violent being capable of such carnage, but you aren't the only one. I'm 6'1" and lean and jacked. I'm a damn Amazon in my own right in case you hadn't bothered to notice. So if I want to showcase how violent I chose to be, that's my prerogative and not something you're likely to stop me. You're going to find out exactly what happens when The Right Hand meets chiseled jaw. And remember, what The God of Destruction wants, she gets.
Eden throws a knowing smile over at ISIS and winks at her as she pops her knuckles at the camera before we fade to black.
MATCH #6: NADIA ALLEN VS EDEN STERLING
The match kicked off with a burst of energy, Sterling immediately asserting her size advantage with a powerful Suplex that sent shockwaves through the mat. Allen, however, showcased her resilience and agility, countering with a lightning-fast Running Forearm Smash that caught Sterling off guard. The two fierce competitors exchanged a flurry of strikes, each trying to gain the upper hand. Sterling's brutal arsenal of suplexes came into play, showcasing her raw power, while Allen's calculated offense targeted Sterling's limbs in an attempt to weaken the behemoth.
As the match intensified, Sterling's dominance became evident as she unleashed a series of devastating maneuvers. The Meteora sent Allen crashing into the mat, leaving her reeling. Sterling followed up with a relentless onslaught of Forearm Strikes and submissions, pushing Allen to her limits. But Allen's resilience shone through, and she countered with by pushing Sterling out of the ring before hitting a jaw-dropping Suicide Dive that took her by surprise. Momentum swung back and forth, the crowd on the edge of their seats with every nearfall.
The climax of the match saw Allen summoning all her strength to execute her signature Scoop Brainbuster. The impact was thunderous, and a hush fell over the crowd as Allen made the cover. It was agonizingly close, a heartbeat away from victory. But fate had other plans. In a final, heart-pounding exchange, Sterling managed to break free from Allen's grip and seize her opportunity. With a lightning-quick Shining Wizard named "Instant Peril," Sterling's leg connected with Allen's skull, and a three count sealed the victory.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Eden! Sterling!
Amber Westgate: Well, love it or hate it, the Right Hand of Destruction got her way tonight! In fact, it really does seem that ISIS’ disciples of destruction lived up to their name here tonight!
Adam LaRue: ISIS has to be sitting backstage, super pleased with Maki Megumi and Eden Sterling after tonight! A takeover with these three is definitely imminent! But if I know Nadia Allen, and I say I probably do, she’s not gonna back down without an even bigger fight!
Sterling stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (INSTANT PERIL)
Backstage, Amy Porter approaches Jordan Majors with a microphone in hand. There’s an immediate loud reaction for the World Heavyweight Champion, but it’s more mixed than Jordan has heard in some time. She looks up, visibly confused, and then over at the title on her left shoulder.
Amy Porter: I’m backstage with World Heavyweight Champion, Jordan Majors, who is coming off just surviving a match with Kasey Kash for that very championship last weekend. Jordan, what are your thoughts since that match with everything that has been said.
Jordan breaks her glance on the title and looks up at Amy. She sighs and there’s a calmness that washes over before her expression changes again.
Jordan Majors: Obviously, I’m disappointed in how the match went. Disappointed because no one got a result. And disappointed because the match ended with me on my back. I didn’t get the job done, but you know what? Either did he. And frankly? I’m tired of that self-righteous prick bitching to anyone who will listen about how he was robbed of his grand moment. He had his chance. He failed. And I, in my good graces, immediately offered him the chance to fight me for this title again. Apparently that made ME the asshole. Frankly, Amy, I don’t really care about whatever vomit Kasey Kash spews in the ring about me. He will get his match and I will beat him and end this nonsense once and for all.
Amy Porter: Kara Carbajal has also called you out recently and stated that she–
Jordan Majors: I’m tired of this! Tired of being everyone’s easy target. Prey to pick off for their accomplishments. I don’t have a problem with the target that comes with being a champion. I relish in that. But everyone treating me like I’m an easy win… that bullshit.
There’s a reaction from inside the arena and Jordan looks toward the noise before she faces back to Amy.
Jordan Majors: You want me? Come get me. You think you’re better than me and you deserve this?
Jordan takes the title off of her shoulder and holds it up to the camera as she turns and faces it.
Jordan Majors: I don’t care if you’re Kasey Kash, Kara Carbajal, Mickey Mouse, or goddamn Kai Morgan… if you want to be the World Champion you come through me and you BEAT me. You BEAT me. And when you don’t, I don’t want to hear bitching about a clock that expired before you got it done. I don’t want to hear whining about failures. I want you to accept that you came for me and you LOST.
Jordan brings the title back down and places it on her shoulder as she stares into the camera. She looks like she’s going to say something else, but instead she turns and walks away from the interview and leaves Amy Porter watching her walk away.
Amber Westgate: Whoa! Some fire from our World Champion just then! Well everyone, tonight has been a party so far with a stellar main event still to come! But as look forward to next week, we have a hell of a show lined up for you then as well!
Adam LaRue: That’s right, Amber! I’ve just received word that after an array of things that went down earlier tonight, we have a huge opening match lined up for next week! Each of these three members of the Queens of Chaos have had their issues with folks in recent weeks, and now they’ll all finally get to have their point of flesh in Trios action! The QoC’s Jessi Ozborne, Blaze Darling, and Alexis Lemon will go three-on-three against the team of Daria Dorsey, Reina Mendoza, and Angelica Matthews to start off next week’s show!
Amber Westgate: After a No Contest ruling and some bold words by the one responsible tonight, Fusion General Manager Kai Morgan has made an official ruling! A National Championship #1 Contenders REMATCH will be on for next week, this time with Shazzah Nasty included to make it a Triple Threat Match!
Adam LaRue: After some intense back and forth with both literal and verbal venom, these two will once again have the chance to square off in the middle of a Zion ring! Legion and VixSin go one-on-one next week!
Adam LaRue: And in our Main Event, last week Adrian Henderson made a statement in his debut match, taking down the Viral Champion Gianna Rojas! But can the Hysterical One repeat that success next week with the title on the line! We’ll get a chance to see as we cap off the show with Viral Championship action!
MAIN EVENT: KAITLIN WILLIAMS VS JORDAN MAJORS

Amber Westgate: Kaitlin Williams with a hell of a challenge ahead of herself tonight!
Adam LaRue: That’s an understatement, Amber! She may have just come off a victory at The Foundations of Decay, but now it seems like she’s been tossed out of the frying pan and into the fire! Jordan Majors is not only our current World Champion, not only a staple of the brand Williams is seemingly taking by storm, but also has a huge chip on her shoulder following the way her match went at The Foundations of Decay!
Amber Westgate: Though with all that in mind, it doesn’t seem the National Champion is nervous in the slightest! That mood seems to be par for the course for Kaitlin Williams, but do you think it could bite her come tonight?
Adam LaRue: On any other occasion I would respect Kaitlin Williams’ confidence! But on this occasion, knowing Jordan Majors the way I do, the National Champion better be equipped with as good of a game face as she has a poker face! There is absolutely nothing more dangerous than standing across the ring from a Jordan Majors with something to prove!
Majors and Williams circle the ring around one another, with the latter seemingly taking a more stern approach to things than the former! They eventually meet in the center of the ring, getting locked up in a Collar-and-Elbow! Already Majors has been lured into a disadvantage by the Crown Jewel, with her superior grappling know-how put on display very quickly in the form of a Waistlock! Majors tries to fight out of it to no avail, with Williams now taking the time to tease a Shoot Throw as Majors grows more and more concerned! In the end, Williams decides to instead patronize the World Champion, slapping her in the back of the head and pushing her out of the hold! This does nothing but lit a fire under Majors, who gets around Williams and cinches in a Hammerlock! Williams is now left to be the one struggling, looking for an Elbow shot to ward Majors off! But Majors is able to use it to her advantage, getting Williams in position before dropping her with a Hammerlock Suplex! Williams staggers back up to her feet, with Majors connecting with a High Angle German Suplex before bridging for the pin!

Williams evades the Hip Attack however, instead slapping Majors right across the chest with a Knife Edge Chop! She follows up, clobbering Majors in the corner with a Clothesline before pulling her in and turning her inside out with a Stiff Short Arm Lariat! Pin by Williams!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Majors! Williams pulls Majors to her feet, looking to take her right back down again with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex!

She drops to a knee, the hold seemingly having great effect! This doesn’t last for long however, with Williams making it back to both her feet and pushing back against Majors into the corner! She follows up, mashing Majors in the corner further with a Forearm! She pulls Majors into position before dropping her with the Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Majors now rolls out onto the apron, with Williams reaching over the top rope and looking to pull her up! Majors retaliates however, grabbing Williams by the head and forcing her face first into the top rope! Williams doubles back, with Majors jumping off the top rope and looking for a Springboard Crossbody! Williams looks to be down, but she immediately proves that notion wrong, rolling through and getting to her feet with Majors in hand! She hoists the World Champion onto her shoulders, before dropping her with Mindfall Remedy! Stalling Death Valley Driver connects! Pin by Williams!

Kick out by Majors! Williams seems frustrated with her opponent’s resilience now, getting Majors up and looking for the Katastrophe! Majors reverses however, landing on her feet behind Williams as she attempts to lift and pushing the National Champion into the corner from behind! Majors rushes to the opposite corner, coming back Williams with a Running Dropkick! The move seems to keep Williams subdued in the corner, with Majors hitting the opposite corner once again before delivering the Donk Bonk (Corner Hip Attack)! She rolls out of the corner and goes for the ropes, with Williams staggering to the center of the ring just in time to take a Chapter 11! Double Knee Facebuster to the National Champion! Pin by Majors!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Williams! Majors doesn’t let up however, waiting for Williams to make it back to her feet to get this one finished, but before she can execute anything, “VIKING” by Slaughter to Prevail begins to play over the arena speakers! Majors immediately darts her gaze up the ramp, as Kasey Kash makes it out onto the stage with a red bag in his hand! He struts over-flamboyantly across the stage, with it being immediately obvious that his goal with this demonstration is to get Majors’ attention! Majors decides that Kash isn’t worth breaking her focus on this match, but in the end, that decision was made too late! Majors turns around, right into a stiff Lariat by Williams!

RESULT: PINFALL (KATASTROPHE)
Kasey looks at the downed Jordan from outside of the ring, before walking around the ring, with the red bag he brought with him down by his hip. He reaches the time keepers area before walking to the announce table hopping up on the top of it and kicking the top off and sits cross legged, bag to his side. Beginning to speak.
Kasey Kash: Jordan… Jordan… Jordan… now I get to talk in peace without getting interrupted by someone with a big fucking mouth… so while you lay there, Jordan… in what I can only hope is some of the worst pain you’ve ever experienced in your life… I’m just gonna speak my fucking mind like I promised I would.
Kasey looks around at the arena, who are slowly turning against him here with a smile on his face.
Kasey Kash: You know… I used to wake up every morning, splash a bit of water on my face while I looked in the mirror and I thought to myself… am I the bad guy?’... and I never really had an answer… because I don’t think anyone believes that they are the bad guy in their own story, and I think they always have an explanation for the actions that some people would perceive… as villainous.
Kasey would then scratch his chin, looking down at the floor for a minute as a fan calls out for him to “GET ON WITH IT!” Kasey looks at that guy with one hand up to try and shut him up.
Kasey Kash: This all ties into what happened at Foundations of Decay, I promise. Give me time.
He then turns his head to face where Jordan lays, continuing to speak.
Kasey Kash: As I was saying, I feel as if everyone reasons with themselves in their head as to why the actions they choose to make do not make them the villain… and here I am… about to explain that very thought process to you, Jordan… and to every single one of the fans here tonight.
Kasey takes another moment, picking the bag up and placing it in his lap.
Kasey Kash: You see… at Foundations of Decay… everyone in the world saw the daylight robbery that unfolded… EVERYONE saw that I had you, Jordan…
Kasey points to the laid out Jordan, continuing to speak.
Kasey Kash: ...I had you dead to fucking rights… centre of the ring I had you BEAT... One… Two… Three. I KNOW you were not going to kick out… and I think deep… deep down you know it to… so the fact you got to come out here tonight and be hailed as “The Current Zion World Champion” and I get jack fucking squat is a disgrace, not only to me, but to everyone who watches this fucking product!
Kasey now stands up on the announce table, picking the bag up and holding it low in his free hand.
Kasey Kash: I know it as well you… that I should be standing here today the World Champion… so much like how I had to take matters into my own hands in “The Other Company”
Kasey says sarcastically with air quotes.
Kasey Kash: I’ve had to take matters into my own hands once again… and before I show you all what is inside of this bag tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen… please allow me to lay the facts out for you! Since my return to Zion Wrestling, I am YET to be defeated. No one has been able to pin my shoulders to the mat for three seconds, and no one has been able to make me submit!
His attention is turned to the laid out Jordan Majors once more.
Kasey Kash: Fuck we all know that Jordan couldn’t get the job done inside of sixty minutes! Jordan Majors, the person who is supposed to be a the fucking pinnacle of this company, could not beat Kasey Kash inside of sixty minutes. So… as far as I can see it, seeing as I had Jordan BEAT and how she could not pin my shoulders to the mat…
Kasey crouches down and undoes the bag, pulling out another Zion World Championship… but with a black X sprayed over the front of the title.
Kasey Kash: ...That makes ME the RIGHTFUL Zion World’s Champion… and I dare any single one of you to try and prove me otherwise!
With that, Kasey throws the microphone down by his side, and the show fades on a shot of him standing on the announce desk, standing high above a laid out Jordan Majors, holding his version of the World Championship in the air.
