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: We’re just two weeks out from heading to Chi-Town, where everyone’s gonna clash at FallOut! For now, it’s time for some Friday fun! Welcome to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Amber Westgate, joined by my broadcast partner, Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: This night is set to hit just a little bit different! Five matches, each huge in their own way! You’re not gonna wanna miss a second of the action, and that’s why we’re running with zero, count em ZERO, commercial breaks this evening! Hope you all enjoy!
We open on the ring to find it occupied. Leaning herself back in the corner is Nao Saegusa, microphone held in hand as she looks out to the crowd that receives her warmly, but cautiously. After all, last time they saw her in a Fusion ring, she was choked unconscious in her attempt to stop Samuel Lopez. She seems to absorb the worry from the crowd before she speaks.
Nao Saegusa: A Hero fights.
A moment’s pause.
Nao Saegusa: It’s never-ending, no matter what. To be a Hero is to fight, until the end. If you’re winning, you keep fighting. If you’re losing, you get up and keep fighting. Whether faced with joy or tragedy, the fight has to go on. Even when choked unconscious…the fight has to go on.
She places a hand to her neck and rolls her head, coughing for effect. Then she looks straight ahead.
Nao Saegusa: There’s a Villain waiting in the dark on Fusion. One that’s like every horror movie you can imagine. Appearing from nowhere to hurt and terrify innocent people, snatching them away. A monster. A monster that thinks he can continue to get away with his actions, that thinks he can terrify me, terrify people I care about, do whatever he wants to them, because no one can stop him. Because someone failed to stop him, and he thinks that means no one will try again, or try at all. He thinks like those monsters in those movies that he can’t be stopped, he’s invincible, that anything will glance off of him, that at the end of it he’ll still be here for the sequel. That no matter what, he will be able to do whatever he wants, to whoever he wants, for whatever reason exists in that head of his. A real, true, Villain.
As she says all of that she is walking forward towards the center of the ring, her gaze not wavering.
Nao Saegusa: A Villain that thinks he cannot be stopped. That would call for a Hero, doesn’t it?
She then pulls her phone out from her pocket, bringing it up and looking at something on it.
Nao Saegusa: September 1st, Fusion presents Fallout.
The crowd murmurs at this, while Nao pockets her phone and walks over towards the ramp, leaning herself against the ropes as she looks out.
Nao Saegusa: Do you have plans…Samuel?
It’s clear now to some of the fans in attendance what Saegusa is getting at as cheers come from the sold out crowd, however their showing of excitement soon dwindles as the eerie opening to “Enjoy The Silence” by Lacuna Coil begins to blare through the PA system and the lights dim.
Amber Westgate: I’m getting goosebumps, Adam.
Adam LaRue: Me too, Amber. That’s the effect Samuel Lopez has on you and he’s not even out here yet.
Once the song kicks in, Samuel Lopez slowly walks through the curtain and out onto the stage flanked by his mouthpiece, Dr. Castiel Talbot. The monster of a man stops on stage and looks at Nao in the ring with his icy cold stare before slowly beginning to make his way down the ramp with Talbot following behind.
Amber Westgate: Well trying to ignore the bone chilling arrival of Samuel here, it would appear that Nao has just issued a challenge to him for FallOut.
Adam LaRue: I’m not sure that’s wise of her, Amber. Taking nothing away from Nao, she is a fine competitor but… Samuel is different.
The duo reach the bottom of the ramp and while Castiel opts to take the steel steps, Samuel slides under the bottom rope on his front and using his closed fists, he slides forward almost like a snake and Saegusa takes a couple of steps back when he gets too close.
Amber Westgate: When he does that… it’s so… so damn…
Adam LaRue: ...creepy?
The doctor climbs through the ropes as Lopez stands up to his feet and Talbot calls for a microphone and is handed one as he stands beside his nephew and “Enjoy The Silence” fades out while the lights return back to normal.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Good evening, Ms. Saegusa…
He then briefly turns to look out at the fans in attendance.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: And good evening to you all too, ladies and gentlemen.
Castiel then turns his attention back to Nao while Samuel remains unmoved since standing upright.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: That was quite the speech you gave, Ms. Saegusa. Very impressive. And you almost had me believe that you were actually willing to once again step into this ring against my dear Samuel here.
The elderly gentleman pushes his glasses up from the bridge of his nose over his face.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The key word there being almost. Because as impressive as your speech was… you cannot fool Samuel or myself. We can still see the fear in your eyes. We can still sense the doubt you have in your voice when you speak about being a ‘hero’ and putting an end to Samuel’s path of destruction.
Talbot clears his throat.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: So truthfully, Ms. Saegusa. Do you really want to step into this ring against my dear Samuel again? Are you sure that this is what you want?
Despite the clear trepidation when Samuel crawled at her like that, Nao keeps her back straight and her eyes focused on the two as she addresses Dr. Talbot.
Nao Saegusa: Hi, Dr. Talbot. So great to see you again. Samuel.”
She glares at him, but then breaks to look back to Talbot.
Nao Saegusa: I’m glad you liked my speech. I'm doing better every day at public speaking, I think. But…you can see fear?
She sighs.
Nao Saegusa: Of course there’s fear. Who wouldn’t be afraid, after everything your nephew’s done to me over the past two months? Stalked, kidnapped, terrorized, choked out, if I wasn’t afraid then there’d be something wrong with me, wouldn’t there? Of course I’m afraid. But.
She raises a finger.
Nao Saegusa: Everyone has to deal with fear. Heroes, regular people, everyone. Overcoming fear, to feel it but still do what you know you need to do, do what you know is right, that is an important part of being human. I’ve been afraid a lot in my life. And yet, I’m here. I moved countries to pursue wrestling, I’ve fought people that I know could crush me, no matter the fear. So I’m not trying to fool anyone. I am afraid, but I won’t let fear stop me. No Hero would.
She narrows her eyes a bit.
Nao Saegusa: And believe one thing before anything else, the one thing I have no doubt about in the world is that I’m a Hero. Remember that.
And then her eyes lose that narrowness as she looks at Talbot curiously, perhaps even a bit…amused?
Nao Saegusa: As for your last question…did you not notice, Dr. Talbot?
She looks to Samuel, for once that fear fading for just a moment as she raises an eyebrow at her tormentor.
Nao Saegusa: Did you?
Lopez remains unmoved, not even blinking as Talbot chuckles.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: If you are referring to what we saw from you last week, Ms. Saegusa… then yes… both Samuel and I did see it. And if you believe that the element of surprise shall faze my dear Samuel… I am afraid you are sorely mistaken.
The doctor adjusts his walking cane slightly, shifting the weight from one leg to the other.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: But I believe we have taken up enough of these people’s time, wouldn’t you agree? If you wish to challenge my nephew to a match at FallOut? Then he graciously accepts.
A little smile appears on Nao’s face.
Nao Saegusa: Oh, I’m sure nothing’s ever fazed him, of course. That’s why I wouldn’t try to surprise him, I know that wouldn’t work. All I said last week was a Hero has something up their sleeve.
She turns around, looking out at the crowd as they murmur with confusion and excitement at what she’s going on about.
Nao Saegusa: I’m glad he’s accepted a match for FallOut. It’s time for the Villain to lose, as they always do in the end. But…”if I wish to challenge him”?
She turns, with that familiar grin on her face for the first time since Samuel Lopez set his eyes upon her.
Nao Saegusa: I never said anything about Nao Saegusa challenging him for that show, now did I?
Dr. Talbot raises an eyebrow curiously as Nao reaches her free arm up and bites her sleeve, moving her arm up to slide her sleeve down, revealing the chunky, funny looking bracelet on her wrist. One that allegedly lets her transform into an even greater Hero.
Nao Saegusa: But JUSTICE MASK will happily put an end to his villainy at FallOut!
The crowd cheers at the reveal while Dr. Talbot merely regards her with that same curiosity. And Samuel? He just continues to stare at Nao, at the bracelet on her wrist, and through her beyond that. And despite the fear, Nao stares right back, finally not wavering.
The scene opens backstage. Maki Megumi is standing next to her God and the Zion Hardcore Champion, ISIS. Maki is holding ISIS’s Hardcore Champion with a sense of pride. The Angel of Destruction is not shy at all performing this small task for her undisputed God. ISIS on the other hand stares into the camera; ready to let the crowd know exactly what’s on her mind.
ISIS: “Bet you are wondering WHY my Angel and my Right Hand of Destruction opted to pave the way for Risa to make it to the finals of the Gateway Championship tournament. Quite simple. This. Is. Fate.”
ISIS pauses as the boos reign in from the capacity crowd in attendance. The God of Destruction doesn’t let the jeering rattle her stoic cage.
ISIS: “Did you want a more detailed explanation than that? Fine, I’ll humor you. In life all of us must get our hands dirty. Do any of us want to put down the puppy we love more than anything in this world? No. We’d rather someone else deal the final blow. Alas, we are charged to tell the vet, go ahead, put my precious puppy to sleep.”
“Do I want to face Risa in the finals? No. She invited me to her wedding. We made amends after a break up that left my heart shattered. In an ideal world, no, the possibility of putting Risa down is not what I want to do. BUT Fate demanded I put Risa in a possible scenario where she could be another Queen to be humbled by a higher order. This is what must happens, that’s why I’m a God.”
“As I always say, God always outranks a Queen.”
“Zara, you will suffer the same fate Yuki and Kasey’s wife did before you. Not only am I God... I’m the Queen Killer. Prove me wrong, Zara. I dare you!”
ISIS half smirks. Maki enthusiastically claps, clearly agreeing with the words of her God.
And with that, ISIS and Maki exit the scene as everything fades to black.
OPENING CONTEST: KASEY KASH VS JORDAN MAJORS ©
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Darrion Hughes: And it is for the Zion Wrestling WORLD! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Introducing first, the challenger…from Carberra, Australia…weighing in at 220 lbs…he prefers to be announced as the TRUE Zion Wrestling World Champion…Kasey! Fucking! Kash!
And his opponent…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Chicago, Illinois…weighing in at 130 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling WORLD! CHAMPION!...JORDAN! MAJORS!
Amber Westgate: Kasey Kash and Jordan Majors last fought to a 60 minute time limit draw last time they were in this ring together! As a result, Fusion General Manager Kai Morgan has sanctioned this match to go on first in the night in the event they do so again, so that they don’t run through our allotted time!
Adam LaRue: It’s one thing to take a measure in case they do run the time limit again, but do you genuinely believe they will? Surely Kasey Kash and Jordan Majors will have learned a lot from their last encounter, and judging by their words over the past few weeks, it doesn’t seem like either of them are keen on letting the match get that far again!
After the bell sounds, both Kasey and Jordan stare each other down as the crowd begins in anticipation. Jordan points to the clock on the tron and says something to Kasey and he immediately jaws back. Jordan loses her patience and runs at Kasey. He ducks what he thinks is a clothesline, but she raises her knee to the side and catches him in the gut. Kasey stumbles forward and Jordan goes for a CASH OUT! No! Kasey shoves Jordan away. Kasey pulls Jordan back for DEATH OF THE PHOENIX! NO! Jordan slips out of the Kairopractor!
Jordan stumbles away as she slips out and into the corner. She turns to run back out and Kasey catches her with JUST A HEAD ON A STICK! HIDDEN BLADE! Jordan looks out of it and Kasey stands over her before he looks out at the crowd and dusts off his hands. Kasey drops down for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
TH-
Kasey smirks down at Jordan as he goes to his knees and Jordan rolls away to the ropes. Jordan uses the ropes to pull herself up and Kasey approaches from behind to continue doing damage. Jordan senses him coming and throws an elbow back. She surprises Kasey with and he staggers back holding his jaw. Jordan grabs the ropes and springboards with a backward elbow! Kasey catches her around the waist and then swings her backward with a vicious belly-to-back suplex!
Jordan rolls away to the ropes again. Kasey approaches and this time she slips to the outside and makes her way around the ring. Kasey follows her motions and taunts her from the inside. The official warns Jordan about starting an outside count and she slides in and runs at Kasey. They meet with a flurry of punches near the middle of the ring, both throwing rapid right hands! Kasey gains the upper hand with two quick jabs that make Jordan take a step back, allowing him to throw a Yakuza kick! Jordan tumbles down to the mat!
Kasey immediately grabs her by the hair and pulls her up. Kasey positions Jordan for the Blue Thunder Bomb! Jordan over rotates during the move and slips out again! She still falls down, but rushes to her feet and hits a kick to Kasey’s gut as he recovers from the counter. Kasey leans down and holds his stomach, leaving him open to a Canadian Destroyer from Jordan! She holds him for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Kasey powers out of the pin! Jordan tries to stay on top of him and locks in a side headlock on the ground. Kasey struggles with it at first, but the crowd gets behind him and he starts to get to his feet. Jordan looks surprised by both Kasey and the crowd as he works his way to his feet and then runs them both toward the corner! Jordan gets her feet up and pushes off the corner for the tornado DDT! But Kasey simply breaks the hold and tosses Jordan out into the ring.
Jordan gets up holding her back and is met with a codebreaker from Kasey! No! Jordan catches him and Kasey lands on his back. Jordan with a double stomp! Kasey rolls away before it lands! Jordan rolls to her feet and Kasey is coming with a clothesline! Jordan ducks it and goes on the run. Jordan goes for a sling blade! Kasey stops her in her tracks. He spins her around and grabs her for a DDT! Jordan spins back out of it and hits a kick to the gut!
Kasey stumbles away quickly to the ropes and grabs them as Jordan approaches and goes for CANBERRA COLLAPSE! JORDAN WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO THE BACK! Kasey rolls away quickly! He goes under the ropes to the apron and holds his back! Jordan spots Kasey and crawls to her feet. She runs to the ropes and rebounds off. Jordan goes to clothesline Kasey off the apron! But Kasey is ready and hits a forearm that backs Jordan off!
Kasey climbs into the ring as Jordan holds her face. She turns back and Kasey grabs her for a suplex! He stops to grab his back and Jordan starts teeing off on him with punches! Jordan gets Kasey down to a knee! Kasey powers back up and slaps the taste out of Jordan’s mouth! Kasey pulls her back in and hits an exploder suplex into the corner! Jordan slams into the corner feet first and lays there looking dazed.
Jordan sits up slowly and uses the corner to pull herself up. As she turns, Kasey drives her into the corner with a shoulder. Jordan leans back into the corner with her head held back. Kasey sizes her up and then chops her hard across the chest. Then he returns with a forearm! He looks out at the crowd for a few seconds and takes a deep breath. Kasey now launches into a flurry of alternating punches and chops on Jordan until she drops to the ground in the corner!
The crowd is roaring at the action as Kasey looks down at the champion. Kasey grabs Jordan by the wrist and drags her out of the corner and goes for a pin. But he stops himself short and instead yanks Jordan to her feet. He whips Jordan out, but ripcord’s her back for a V-Trigger! FUCK YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS! Jordan collapses into a heap in front of Kasey. He pushes her over onto her back and hooks the leg for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
TH-
Kasey sits and looks at the referee. He signals three fingers and the officials shows him two. He shakes his head and berates the referee as Jordan stirs behind him. Kasey turns around to Jordan again and grabs her by the hair. He starts to pull her up, but then nails her with a forearm back to the ground. He sizes her up on the ground and then stomps on her back. He pulls Jordan away from the corner and signals for the match to be over as he walks toward the ropes. Jordan gets to her hands and knees.
Kasey moves forward for THE LUCKER STOMP! Jordan gets out of the way of the curb stomp! Kasey misses all of it. He turns around and pulls Jordan up from the ground. He pulls her in for a powerbomb now. Kasey gets her up for the crucifix powerbomb, but Jordan slides out to the mat. Kasey turns around and eats a European uppercut! Jordan grabs him and whips him to the corner! Kasey hits the corner and staggers out, but Jordan hits a superkick to shoves him back into the corner!
The crowd builds in anticipation of knowing what comes next. Jordan backs up a few steps and then runs toward the corner and hits Kasey with the DONK BONK! The running hip attack drops Kasey to the ground. Jordan points at Kasey and looks out at the crowd. She runs to the opposite corner and then sprints back for another DONK BONK! Kasey’s head bounces off the middle pad and he slumps over to the mat! Jordan quickly mounts the top rope, seeing her chance to end this one once and for all! She leaps off, looking for the Money Drop! But Kasey is able to roll out of the way, leaving her to roll back on the mat to avoid taking a nasty spill! She rolls up to her knees, unwittingly helping the challenger more than herself as she gets hit with another LUCKER STO-NO! Jordan gets out of the way, getting Kasey in position before dropping him with a German Suplex! Much to her surprise however, Kasey has a little bit more fight left in him, rolling right back up to his feet off the move and dropping down to clatter the champion’s skull with a Forearm against the mat! Jordan looks out cold, Kasey could seal this one with a pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Jordan! Kasey looks to once again try and plant her with a big move! He backs into the corner, yelling until his face is beet red as he demands that the champion get up! Kasey moves when she does, looking for No Pressure! But Jordan fights back hard, catching Kasey as he approaches with a Spinning Side Slam! Jordan acts a little quicker this time, ensuring that Kasey doesn’t have time to get out of the way as she climbs to the top rope and leaps onto him with the MONEY DROP! MOONSAULT DOUBLE STOMP TO KASEY KASH!! Jordan with the pin! She could take this one right here!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Kasey gets the shoulder up right before the count of three! Jordan is in disbelief, the tenacity of her challenger combined with her own dwindling energy causing her to have doubts in her ability to secure the win here! Uncharacteristically, she pulls Kasey to his feet by the hair, an act that’s immediately admonished by the official! Upon realizing what she’s done, she quickly swipes her hand away, clearly not wanting to go that route with her opponent! She looks for another end to this match, jumping up and looking to plant Kasey with the Cash Out! But Kasey is able to reverse, catching Jordan leaving her suspended in midair before rushing towards the ropes and dumping her all the way to the ringside floor! Jordan hits the ground with a thud that the first few rows can feel in their feet as the champion wails out in agony!
Crowd: HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT!
Jordan writhes around on the ringside floor, with the official hanging their head out of the ring to check if she’s okay to continue! All the while, Kasey approaches the ropes, looking to leave the ring to go after her! The official pushes Kasey back, still wanting to check Jordan’s condition a bit more! Kasey realizes that this could easily spell the end of the match, and not wanting to let the champion off on another technically, he acts fast! He rolls out of the ring under a different set of ropes, rushing around the ringside area and taking Jordan down just as she gets up with a Clothesline! Everyone in the arena disapproves of this, but Kasey doesn’t care as he pulls Jordan back to her feet! The champion shows she still has some fight left in her, however, managing to push Kasey back until he clashes back first with the barricade! Jordan continues the onslaught, driving him into that guardrail repeatedly with a set of Shoulder Thrusts to keep him pinned down! She backs up now, looking to get as much distance and momentum as possible as she runs towards Kasey with the hopes of driving him through the barricade! The only one driven into the barricade is Jordan however, with Kasey quickly sniping her with a Snap Belly-To-Belly Suplex! The barricade doesn’t break, but there’s no doubt that Jordan wishes it did, as she lands awkwardly on her neck off of the move!
Kasey slowly makes it to his feet, quickly rolling under the bottom rope and right back out to ringside to milk the ten count! He gets Jordan up now, looking to send her back into the ring! Jordan has other plans however, quickly reversing to send Kasey into the ringpost instead! Jordan seemingly has a light bulb go off, grabbing Kasey’s head and smashing it onto the ringpost again! She turns Kasey around, before backing up and hitting him with a DONK BONK! HIP ATTACK AGAINST THE STEEL! Kasey looks as though he’s about to collapse to the floor, but Jordan doesn’t let him, throwing him back into the ring instead! She feels confident in her chances of taking Kasey down, climbing straight from the apron to the top rope! She stands up there with her back turned, looking for another Money Drop! But this only leaves her unable to spot that Kasey has made it back to his feet yet again, nailing her with a Forearm to the back instead!
Kasey looks to take Jordan down with an Avalanche Belly-To-Back Suplex, getting her in position for the move at high altitude! Jordan is obviously having none of it, fighting back relentlessly with Elbows to the side of the head to keep Kasey from completing the certified match ender! Kasey is hellbent on completing this move however, not letting up as he completely clobbers Jordan with strikes upon strikes to the back and the liver! The impact from that crash to the outside begins to show in Jordan, as she’s left unable to fight back against Kasey! He gets Majors in position, looking for the Suplex off the top! But Jordan still has one more trick up her sleeve, mounting Kasey’s shoulders when goes for the lift and dropping him all the way to the mat with an Avalanche Poisonrana! Both competitors are down, but the crowd is as alive as ever!
Crowd: THIS! IS! AWE-SOME!
clapclapclapclapclap
THIS! IS! AWE-SOME!
clapclapclapclapclap
Jordan is the first to start moving again, pulling herself up by the hands and crawling towards Kasey! The fatigue in this match is starting to set in, with Jordan hardly able to make full use of her legs at this point! She finally reaches Kasey, lying on top of him for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Kasey, despite all that’s gone on in this match, still manages to shoot an arm up right before three! The look of disappointment and angst on Jordan’s face quickly turns to that of wrath, as she immediately pushes Kasey’s arms down and goes for a plethora of shots to the top of his head, hoping that just one of them is enough to knock him for good! She covers again!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Once again, Kasey shoots the arm up before three, with a huge scream from Jordan showing exactly how she feels about that! She pulls Kasey up to his feet before jumping up for the Cash Out! But Kasey is able to pull off a hell of a reversal, turning around as Majors goes for her jump and catching her in a Crucifix position! He pushes her up, before dropping her with COUNT TO FUCK! CRUCIFIX BOMB DDT TO THE CHAMPION! Kasey with the pin! This is it!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Jordan’s foot kisses the bottom rope with just inches between the referee’s hand and mat! The count was so close that you can see the official almost call for the bell before correcting themself and signaling for the two count! Kasey pulls himself off of Jordan and gets to his feet, getting in the referee's face, berating them for not counting the three when he believed he had the match won, and the referee is quick to point out Jordan’s foot on the bottom rope.
Kasey looks at the boot on the rope and smiles… its a twisted smile as he walks over and drags Jordan up by her hair, getting a warning from the referee and he lets go, holding her up by the chin, patting the side of her face before planting her on her knees, and running off the ropes, bringing his arm up and looking to hit another “You’re Just A Head On A Stick!”…
But there was nobody home! Jordan had ducked forwards, and Kasey smashed his arm into the canvas, clutching at his elbow. He gets up and turns around to swing at Jordan who blocks the shot and again, Kasey is clutching at his elbow and Jordan hits him with a roundhouse kick to the head! Kasey is out on his feet here and Jordan knows this is probably her best chance to put a pin in this contest!
She hits Kasey with a barrage of forearms that continues to further stun the man, pushing him up against the corner now, before taking a step out and nailing Kasey with a super kick! He stumbles out the corner, and Jordan picks him up in a scoop slam position, before putting him back in the corner in a Tree of Woe position!
Jordan steps out onto the apron once more in this contest, ascending the turnbuckles and looking down at Kasey, daring him to try and lean forward… and he does! Jordan takes that moment to try and stomp his face!… But Kasey drops back!
Jordan stomps the mat hard and Kasey has a shirt eating grin on his face, pointing to his head as he lays there, upside down all a little too long as he hasn’t seen Jordan roll out of the stomp, and has came charging in, nailing him with the Donk Bonk! Kasey falls out the corner at a sickening angle, landing on his neck, and Jordan pulls him out of the corner and hooks both legs!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THRE-
NO! Kasey throws the shoulder up at the last second! Jordan, wanting to keep this momentum going, pulls Kasey up to his feet in the center of the ring, and calls for the Cash Out, looking to put an end to this match! She runs to the ropes and leaps, springing off the second rope and going back to try and catch Kasey with the cutter… BUT KASEY CATCHES HER WITH A BICYCLE KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN HERE AND THE CROWD COME UNGLUED!
Crowd: HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT!
The referee begins the standing ten count, and both competitors are not moving!
ONE!
…
TWO!
Kasey stirs a bit, bringing his arm up off the mat.
THREE!
Jordan begins to stir now, lifting her head up from the mat.
FOUR!
Kasey stirs, rolling himself over and beginning to drag himself over to the ropes.
FIVE!
Now Jordan does the same, rolling to the ropes to use them as a way to pull herself up.
SIX!
Kasey is on a knee here, looking over at Jordan on the other side of the ring…
SEVEN!
Jordan does the same. Pulling herself up in the corner, her eyes locked on Kasey.
EIGHT!
The pair are nearing their feet here…
NINE!
Both are on their feet here and the referee stops the count, Kasey is the first to step out, looking to connect with a forearm strike to Jordan who ducks it, and Kasey grasps at his arm, Jordan kicks him in the stomach and grabs his head, throwing the arm over her shoulder and lifting him up!
Kasey falls behind her now though, and hits her with a hooking roundhouse to the jaw! Jordan is dazed here and Kasey grabs her wrist, spinning her around and looking for the “Fuck You And All Your Friends”- NO! Jordan caught him out of it with the Chapter 11! The Double Knee Facebreaker turns Kaseys lights OUT as he falls backwards towards the corner, and Jordan stumbles backwards!
Then the announcement rings out.
Darrion Hughes: Ten Seconds Remaining!
Jordan hears that and her eyes go wide, the crowd begin to count down the clock!
TEN!
Jordan scrambles up to her feet…
NINE!
She steps over Kasey and begins the climb to the top rope…
EIGHT!
She makes it to the top rope and steadies herself on the top rope.
SEVEN!
She takes a deep breath in and leaps backwards, looking to connect with the Money Drop!
SIX!
IT CONNECTS! Jordan stomps the life out of Kasey, and he rolls over, clutching his stomach as Jordan rolls backwards.
FIVE!
Jordan rolls back to her feet and grabs Kasey.
FOUR!
She pulls him away from the ropes, and hooks the legs!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Amber Westgate: She did it! Jordan Majors retains!
Adam LaRue: Did she, though? I never saw the ref call it!
Amber Westgate: No, no, I’m sure she did! She had him dead to rights!
Adam LaRue: Looks like the ref is speaking with Hughes now!
The official speaks to Darrion Hughes, who lets out the announcement to their request.
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen…this match has exceeded its allotted 60-minute time limit, and has been deemed a draw…therefore, STILL the Zion Wrestling WORLD! CHAMPION!...JORDAN! MAJORS!
Amber Westgate: Again?! What?!
Adam LaRue: How could they do it again?! I thought they were sure to tear each other apart in under an hour!
Jordan sits up from what she just realizes is a failed pin attempt. She argues the finish with the referee, but if her words fell on deaf ears before, they definitely did when “The Gun Show” by In This Moment begins to play.
Amber Westgate: As if things couldn’t get any worse…
Adam LaRue: I know she threatened to show up on Fusion on social media, but I didn’t think she was actually being serious!
Kara “Killer” Carbajal then saunters out onto the stage with her Chance Briefcase in hand and a huge smirk on her face as the fans begin to boo heavily.
Amber Westgate: She is here! The Undisputed Champion from Mayhem, Kara Carbajal of The Void is here with her Chance Briefcase!
Adam LaRue: And Jordan Majors just wrestled for an entire hour against Kasey Kash! She’s hardly able to stand! She doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance here!
Carbajal slowly begins to make her way down the ramp, drinking in the hatred from the fans as she slaps her case while keeping her eyes locked onto the champion in the ring. Majors, while readying herself for what is about to come, is clearly showing signs of doubt as she realizes the almost impossible task she appears to have ahead of her.
Amber Westgate: I can’t even begin to imagine what would happen to Zion if Kara ends up becoming both Undisputed AND World Heavyweight Champion at the same time, Adam!
Adam LaRue: I’ll tell you what will happen if it happens, Amber… The Void will run Zion.
KC reaches the bottom of the ramp and begins to make her way around to the steel steps, truly milking the situation and forcing Majors to wait for her fate. Suddenly though, we see Morgan Payne jump the barricade and charges towards Carbajal and nails her with TASTES LIKE TIMBALAND BOOT, BITCH and sends the Undisputed Champion over the barricade as “The Gun Show” cuts off!
Amber Westgate: It’s Morgan Payne!
Adam LaRue: Where the Hell did she come from?!
Payne climbs over the barricade as Carbajal stumbles up to her feet and the two engage in a slugfest with one another through the crowd as we cut back to Majors who appears to almost breathe a sigh of relief as we cut elsewhere.
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Darrion Hughes: And it is for the Zion Wrestling WORLD! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Introducing first, the challenger…from Carberra, Australia…weighing in at 220 lbs…he prefers to be announced as the TRUE Zion Wrestling World Champion…Kasey! Fucking! Kash!
And his opponent…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Chicago, Illinois…weighing in at 130 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling WORLD! CHAMPION!...JORDAN! MAJORS!
Amber Westgate: Kasey Kash and Jordan Majors last fought to a 60 minute time limit draw last time they were in this ring together! As a result, Fusion General Manager Kai Morgan has sanctioned this match to go on first in the night in the event they do so again, so that they don’t run through our allotted time!
Adam LaRue: It’s one thing to take a measure in case they do run the time limit again, but do you genuinely believe they will? Surely Kasey Kash and Jordan Majors will have learned a lot from their last encounter, and judging by their words over the past few weeks, it doesn’t seem like either of them are keen on letting the match get that far again!
After the bell sounds, both Kasey and Jordan stare each other down as the crowd begins in anticipation. Jordan points to the clock on the tron and says something to Kasey and he immediately jaws back. Jordan loses her patience and runs at Kasey. He ducks what he thinks is a clothesline, but she raises her knee to the side and catches him in the gut. Kasey stumbles forward and Jordan goes for a CASH OUT! No! Kasey shoves Jordan away. Kasey pulls Jordan back for DEATH OF THE PHOENIX! NO! Jordan slips out of the Kairopractor!
Jordan stumbles away as she slips out and into the corner. She turns to run back out and Kasey catches her with JUST A HEAD ON A STICK! HIDDEN BLADE! Jordan looks out of it and Kasey stands over her before he looks out at the crowd and dusts off his hands. Kasey drops down for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
TH-
Kasey smirks down at Jordan as he goes to his knees and Jordan rolls away to the ropes. Jordan uses the ropes to pull herself up and Kasey approaches from behind to continue doing damage. Jordan senses him coming and throws an elbow back. She surprises Kasey with and he staggers back holding his jaw. Jordan grabs the ropes and springboards with a backward elbow! Kasey catches her around the waist and then swings her backward with a vicious belly-to-back suplex!
Jordan rolls away to the ropes again. Kasey approaches and this time she slips to the outside and makes her way around the ring. Kasey follows her motions and taunts her from the inside. The official warns Jordan about starting an outside count and she slides in and runs at Kasey. They meet with a flurry of punches near the middle of the ring, both throwing rapid right hands! Kasey gains the upper hand with two quick jabs that make Jordan take a step back, allowing him to throw a Yakuza kick! Jordan tumbles down to the mat!
Kasey immediately grabs her by the hair and pulls her up. Kasey positions Jordan for the Blue Thunder Bomb! Jordan over rotates during the move and slips out again! She still falls down, but rushes to her feet and hits a kick to Kasey’s gut as he recovers from the counter. Kasey leans down and holds his stomach, leaving him open to a Canadian Destroyer from Jordan! She holds him for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Kasey powers out of the pin! Jordan tries to stay on top of him and locks in a side headlock on the ground. Kasey struggles with it at first, but the crowd gets behind him and he starts to get to his feet. Jordan looks surprised by both Kasey and the crowd as he works his way to his feet and then runs them both toward the corner! Jordan gets her feet up and pushes off the corner for the tornado DDT! But Kasey simply breaks the hold and tosses Jordan out into the ring.
Jordan gets up holding her back and is met with a codebreaker from Kasey! No! Jordan catches him and Kasey lands on his back. Jordan with a double stomp! Kasey rolls away before it lands! Jordan rolls to her feet and Kasey is coming with a clothesline! Jordan ducks it and goes on the run. Jordan goes for a sling blade! Kasey stops her in her tracks. He spins her around and grabs her for a DDT! Jordan spins back out of it and hits a kick to the gut!
Kasey stumbles away quickly to the ropes and grabs them as Jordan approaches and goes for CANBERRA COLLAPSE! JORDAN WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO THE BACK! Kasey rolls away quickly! He goes under the ropes to the apron and holds his back! Jordan spots Kasey and crawls to her feet. She runs to the ropes and rebounds off. Jordan goes to clothesline Kasey off the apron! But Kasey is ready and hits a forearm that backs Jordan off!
Kasey climbs into the ring as Jordan holds her face. She turns back and Kasey grabs her for a suplex! He stops to grab his back and Jordan starts teeing off on him with punches! Jordan gets Kasey down to a knee! Kasey powers back up and slaps the taste out of Jordan’s mouth! Kasey pulls her back in and hits an exploder suplex into the corner! Jordan slams into the corner feet first and lays there looking dazed.
Jordan sits up slowly and uses the corner to pull herself up. As she turns, Kasey drives her into the corner with a shoulder. Jordan leans back into the corner with her head held back. Kasey sizes her up and then chops her hard across the chest. Then he returns with a forearm! He looks out at the crowd for a few seconds and takes a deep breath. Kasey now launches into a flurry of alternating punches and chops on Jordan until she drops to the ground in the corner!
The crowd is roaring at the action as Kasey looks down at the champion. Kasey grabs Jordan by the wrist and drags her out of the corner and goes for a pin. But he stops himself short and instead yanks Jordan to her feet. He whips Jordan out, but ripcord’s her back for a V-Trigger! FUCK YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS! Jordan collapses into a heap in front of Kasey. He pushes her over onto her back and hooks the leg for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
TH-
Kasey sits and looks at the referee. He signals three fingers and the officials shows him two. He shakes his head and berates the referee as Jordan stirs behind him. Kasey turns around to Jordan again and grabs her by the hair. He starts to pull her up, but then nails her with a forearm back to the ground. He sizes her up on the ground and then stomps on her back. He pulls Jordan away from the corner and signals for the match to be over as he walks toward the ropes. Jordan gets to her hands and knees.
Kasey moves forward for THE LUCKER STOMP! Jordan gets out of the way of the curb stomp! Kasey misses all of it. He turns around and pulls Jordan up from the ground. He pulls her in for a powerbomb now. Kasey gets her up for the crucifix powerbomb, but Jordan slides out to the mat. Kasey turns around and eats a European uppercut! Jordan grabs him and whips him to the corner! Kasey hits the corner and staggers out, but Jordan hits a superkick to shoves him back into the corner!
The crowd builds in anticipation of knowing what comes next. Jordan backs up a few steps and then runs toward the corner and hits Kasey with the DONK BONK! The running hip attack drops Kasey to the ground. Jordan points at Kasey and looks out at the crowd. She runs to the opposite corner and then sprints back for another DONK BONK! Kasey’s head bounces off the middle pad and he slumps over to the mat! Jordan quickly mounts the top rope, seeing her chance to end this one once and for all! She leaps off, looking for the Money Drop! But Kasey is able to roll out of the way, leaving her to roll back on the mat to avoid taking a nasty spill! She rolls up to her knees, unwittingly helping the challenger more than herself as she gets hit with another LUCKER STO-NO! Jordan gets out of the way, getting Kasey in position before dropping him with a German Suplex! Much to her surprise however, Kasey has a little bit more fight left in him, rolling right back up to his feet off the move and dropping down to clatter the champion’s skull with a Forearm against the mat! Jordan looks out cold, Kasey could seal this one with a pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Jordan! Kasey looks to once again try and plant her with a big move! He backs into the corner, yelling until his face is beet red as he demands that the champion get up! Kasey moves when she does, looking for No Pressure! But Jordan fights back hard, catching Kasey as he approaches with a Spinning Side Slam! Jordan acts a little quicker this time, ensuring that Kasey doesn’t have time to get out of the way as she climbs to the top rope and leaps onto him with the MONEY DROP! MOONSAULT DOUBLE STOMP TO KASEY KASH!! Jordan with the pin! She could take this one right here!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Kasey gets the shoulder up right before the count of three! Jordan is in disbelief, the tenacity of her challenger combined with her own dwindling energy causing her to have doubts in her ability to secure the win here! Uncharacteristically, she pulls Kasey to his feet by the hair, an act that’s immediately admonished by the official! Upon realizing what she’s done, she quickly swipes her hand away, clearly not wanting to go that route with her opponent! She looks for another end to this match, jumping up and looking to plant Kasey with the Cash Out! But Kasey is able to reverse, catching Jordan leaving her suspended in midair before rushing towards the ropes and dumping her all the way to the ringside floor! Jordan hits the ground with a thud that the first few rows can feel in their feet as the champion wails out in agony!
Crowd: HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT!
Jordan writhes around on the ringside floor, with the official hanging their head out of the ring to check if she’s okay to continue! All the while, Kasey approaches the ropes, looking to leave the ring to go after her! The official pushes Kasey back, still wanting to check Jordan’s condition a bit more! Kasey realizes that this could easily spell the end of the match, and not wanting to let the champion off on another technically, he acts fast! He rolls out of the ring under a different set of ropes, rushing around the ringside area and taking Jordan down just as she gets up with a Clothesline! Everyone in the arena disapproves of this, but Kasey doesn’t care as he pulls Jordan back to her feet! The champion shows she still has some fight left in her, however, managing to push Kasey back until he clashes back first with the barricade! Jordan continues the onslaught, driving him into that guardrail repeatedly with a set of Shoulder Thrusts to keep him pinned down! She backs up now, looking to get as much distance and momentum as possible as she runs towards Kasey with the hopes of driving him through the barricade! The only one driven into the barricade is Jordan however, with Kasey quickly sniping her with a Snap Belly-To-Belly Suplex! The barricade doesn’t break, but there’s no doubt that Jordan wishes it did, as she lands awkwardly on her neck off of the move!
Kasey slowly makes it to his feet, quickly rolling under the bottom rope and right back out to ringside to milk the ten count! He gets Jordan up now, looking to send her back into the ring! Jordan has other plans however, quickly reversing to send Kasey into the ringpost instead! Jordan seemingly has a light bulb go off, grabbing Kasey’s head and smashing it onto the ringpost again! She turns Kasey around, before backing up and hitting him with a DONK BONK! HIP ATTACK AGAINST THE STEEL! Kasey looks as though he’s about to collapse to the floor, but Jordan doesn’t let him, throwing him back into the ring instead! She feels confident in her chances of taking Kasey down, climbing straight from the apron to the top rope! She stands up there with her back turned, looking for another Money Drop! But this only leaves her unable to spot that Kasey has made it back to his feet yet again, nailing her with a Forearm to the back instead!
Kasey looks to take Jordan down with an Avalanche Belly-To-Back Suplex, getting her in position for the move at high altitude! Jordan is obviously having none of it, fighting back relentlessly with Elbows to the side of the head to keep Kasey from completing the certified match ender! Kasey is hellbent on completing this move however, not letting up as he completely clobbers Jordan with strikes upon strikes to the back and the liver! The impact from that crash to the outside begins to show in Jordan, as she’s left unable to fight back against Kasey! He gets Majors in position, looking for the Suplex off the top! But Jordan still has one more trick up her sleeve, mounting Kasey’s shoulders when goes for the lift and dropping him all the way to the mat with an Avalanche Poisonrana! Both competitors are down, but the crowd is as alive as ever!
Crowd: THIS! IS! AWE-SOME!
clapclapclapclapclap
THIS! IS! AWE-SOME!
clapclapclapclapclap
Jordan is the first to start moving again, pulling herself up by the hands and crawling towards Kasey! The fatigue in this match is starting to set in, with Jordan hardly able to make full use of her legs at this point! She finally reaches Kasey, lying on top of him for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Kasey, despite all that’s gone on in this match, still manages to shoot an arm up right before three! The look of disappointment and angst on Jordan’s face quickly turns to that of wrath, as she immediately pushes Kasey’s arms down and goes for a plethora of shots to the top of his head, hoping that just one of them is enough to knock him for good! She covers again!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Once again, Kasey shoots the arm up before three, with a huge scream from Jordan showing exactly how she feels about that! She pulls Kasey up to his feet before jumping up for the Cash Out! But Kasey is able to pull off a hell of a reversal, turning around as Majors goes for her jump and catching her in a Crucifix position! He pushes her up, before dropping her with COUNT TO FUCK! CRUCIFIX BOMB DDT TO THE CHAMPION! Kasey with the pin! This is it!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Jordan’s foot kisses the bottom rope with just inches between the referee’s hand and mat! The count was so close that you can see the official almost call for the bell before correcting themself and signaling for the two count! Kasey pulls himself off of Jordan and gets to his feet, getting in the referee's face, berating them for not counting the three when he believed he had the match won, and the referee is quick to point out Jordan’s foot on the bottom rope.
Kasey looks at the boot on the rope and smiles… its a twisted smile as he walks over and drags Jordan up by her hair, getting a warning from the referee and he lets go, holding her up by the chin, patting the side of her face before planting her on her knees, and running off the ropes, bringing his arm up and looking to hit another “You’re Just A Head On A Stick!”…
But there was nobody home! Jordan had ducked forwards, and Kasey smashed his arm into the canvas, clutching at his elbow. He gets up and turns around to swing at Jordan who blocks the shot and again, Kasey is clutching at his elbow and Jordan hits him with a roundhouse kick to the head! Kasey is out on his feet here and Jordan knows this is probably her best chance to put a pin in this contest!
She hits Kasey with a barrage of forearms that continues to further stun the man, pushing him up against the corner now, before taking a step out and nailing Kasey with a super kick! He stumbles out the corner, and Jordan picks him up in a scoop slam position, before putting him back in the corner in a Tree of Woe position!
Jordan steps out onto the apron once more in this contest, ascending the turnbuckles and looking down at Kasey, daring him to try and lean forward… and he does! Jordan takes that moment to try and stomp his face!… But Kasey drops back!
Jordan stomps the mat hard and Kasey has a shirt eating grin on his face, pointing to his head as he lays there, upside down all a little too long as he hasn’t seen Jordan roll out of the stomp, and has came charging in, nailing him with the Donk Bonk! Kasey falls out the corner at a sickening angle, landing on his neck, and Jordan pulls him out of the corner and hooks both legs!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THRE-
NO! Kasey throws the shoulder up at the last second! Jordan, wanting to keep this momentum going, pulls Kasey up to his feet in the center of the ring, and calls for the Cash Out, looking to put an end to this match! She runs to the ropes and leaps, springing off the second rope and going back to try and catch Kasey with the cutter… BUT KASEY CATCHES HER WITH A BICYCLE KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN HERE AND THE CROWD COME UNGLUED!
Crowd: HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT!
The referee begins the standing ten count, and both competitors are not moving!
ONE!
…
TWO!
Kasey stirs a bit, bringing his arm up off the mat.
THREE!
Jordan begins to stir now, lifting her head up from the mat.
FOUR!
Kasey stirs, rolling himself over and beginning to drag himself over to the ropes.
FIVE!
Now Jordan does the same, rolling to the ropes to use them as a way to pull herself up.
SIX!
Kasey is on a knee here, looking over at Jordan on the other side of the ring…
SEVEN!
Jordan does the same. Pulling herself up in the corner, her eyes locked on Kasey.
EIGHT!
The pair are nearing their feet here…
NINE!
Both are on their feet here and the referee stops the count, Kasey is the first to step out, looking to connect with a forearm strike to Jordan who ducks it, and Kasey grasps at his arm, Jordan kicks him in the stomach and grabs his head, throwing the arm over her shoulder and lifting him up!
Kasey falls behind her now though, and hits her with a hooking roundhouse to the jaw! Jordan is dazed here and Kasey grabs her wrist, spinning her around and looking for the “Fuck You And All Your Friends”- NO! Jordan caught him out of it with the Chapter 11! The Double Knee Facebreaker turns Kaseys lights OUT as he falls backwards towards the corner, and Jordan stumbles backwards!
Then the announcement rings out.
Darrion Hughes: Ten Seconds Remaining!
Jordan hears that and her eyes go wide, the crowd begin to count down the clock!
TEN!
Jordan scrambles up to her feet…
NINE!
She steps over Kasey and begins the climb to the top rope…
EIGHT!
She makes it to the top rope and steadies herself on the top rope.
SEVEN!
She takes a deep breath in and leaps backwards, looking to connect with the Money Drop!
SIX!
IT CONNECTS! Jordan stomps the life out of Kasey, and he rolls over, clutching his stomach as Jordan rolls backwards.
FIVE!
Jordan rolls back to her feet and grabs Kasey.
FOUR!
She pulls him away from the ropes, and hooks the legs!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Amber Westgate: She did it! Jordan Majors retains!
Adam LaRue: Did she, though? I never saw the ref call it!
Amber Westgate: No, no, I’m sure she did! She had him dead to rights!
Adam LaRue: Looks like the ref is speaking with Hughes now!
The official speaks to Darrion Hughes, who lets out the announcement to their request.
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen…this match has exceeded its allotted 60-minute time limit, and has been deemed a draw…therefore, STILL the Zion Wrestling WORLD! CHAMPION!...JORDAN! MAJORS!
Amber Westgate: Again?! What?!
Adam LaRue: How could they do it again?! I thought they were sure to tear each other apart in under an hour!
Jordan sits up from what she just realizes is a failed pin attempt. She argues the finish with the referee, but if her words fell on deaf ears before, they definitely did when “The Gun Show” by In This Moment begins to play.
Amber Westgate: As if things couldn’t get any worse…
Adam LaRue: I know she threatened to show up on Fusion on social media, but I didn’t think she was actually being serious!
Kara “Killer” Carbajal then saunters out onto the stage with her Chance Briefcase in hand and a huge smirk on her face as the fans begin to boo heavily.
Amber Westgate: She is here! The Undisputed Champion from Mayhem, Kara Carbajal of The Void is here with her Chance Briefcase!
Adam LaRue: And Jordan Majors just wrestled for an entire hour against Kasey Kash! She’s hardly able to stand! She doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance here!
Carbajal slowly begins to make her way down the ramp, drinking in the hatred from the fans as she slaps her case while keeping her eyes locked onto the champion in the ring. Majors, while readying herself for what is about to come, is clearly showing signs of doubt as she realizes the almost impossible task she appears to have ahead of her.
Amber Westgate: I can’t even begin to imagine what would happen to Zion if Kara ends up becoming both Undisputed AND World Heavyweight Champion at the same time, Adam!
Adam LaRue: I’ll tell you what will happen if it happens, Amber… The Void will run Zion.
KC reaches the bottom of the ramp and begins to make her way around to the steel steps, truly milking the situation and forcing Majors to wait for her fate. Suddenly though, we see Morgan Payne jump the barricade and charges towards Carbajal and nails her with TASTES LIKE TIMBALAND BOOT, BITCH and sends the Undisputed Champion over the barricade as “The Gun Show” cuts off!
Amber Westgate: It’s Morgan Payne!
Adam LaRue: Where the Hell did she come from?!
Payne climbs over the barricade as Carbajal stumbles up to her feet and the two engage in a slugfest with one another through the crowd as we cut back to Majors who appears to almost breathe a sigh of relief as we cut elsewhere.
RESULT: TIME LIMIT DRAW
“He said I really feel like I could see a future with us together, ya know? So I HAD to put his ass on block! ICK!”
Backstage at tonight’s Friday Night Fusion one Shazzah Nasty was laughing, having a great time, and kicking her feet up, literally, in the make-up area. One of the lovely ladies who worked for the company was pacing back and forth around Miss Nasty who was placed in her work chair with her 6 inch Louboutin heels up on the vanity. The newer hire was chatting away on her phone while the makeup artist dabbed at her eyelids and cheeks with an assortment of different sized brushes.
Zion staff member Vinny James had come to the location, microphone in hand and camera crew in tow. Any wrestler worth their salt knew what that meant, and Shazz was plenty salty. Her feet came down off the table top, onto the floor and she stood up to an impressive height. Next to the slightly diminutive man she only looked that much bigger.
Shazz Nasty: Oooh, hello Sir!
Vinny James: Miss Nasty? Mind if we trouble you for a moment of your time?
Shazz Nasty: Formality, I like it. Do you want to lick my shoes, worm?
Vinnie choked and coughed, shaking his head no. That only made the woman laugh.
Vinny James: Uh, no, I was actually wondering what it is you’re doing here tonight? After last week’s victory by Sativa, you’re out-
Her mood changed though. Just like that, she snapped at him suddenly.
Shazz Nasty: I’m here because I work here. I didn’t see your broke ass name on the card, but yet here you are running around bugging the actual talent with obvious questions. Listen, Sativa pinned Tajnia and like, “good for her,” and like “totes yay,” but that has nothing to do with me. I wasn’t a part of that three way.
Whether you see my name on the card or not, whatever I decide to do here at Zion is going to be what steals the show. The fans deserve something Nasty amongst all this everyday dullardry, and so I’m going to give it to them. And by whatever means I so desire.
Vinnie James: So is that your intention tonight? To steal the show?
Oh, how Shazzah grinned. She leaned down towards Vinnie and tapped her index finger against the tip of his nose.
Shazz Nasty: You got it, Vinnie baby. So just keep your eyes peeled.
She blew him a small kiss, and made a strategic exit as the show moved along…
BLAZE DARLING: Hiiiii, Reina! We haven’t really had a chance to talk lately. So, this is the part where I talk and you listen okay?
Blaze nods her head emphatically as she comes into view backstage. She’s got a silly little grin on her lips as she stands there.
BLAZE DARLING: I think it’s about time that we settle things the right way. Just the two of us. No further interactions with anyone else involved. Just you and me and the ring and… everywhere else.
Blaze picks up a kendo stick from nearby and points it towards the camera momentarily.
BLAZE DARLING: You and I are overdue for a real shot at one another and I have the perfect idea. You and me. Falls Count Anywhere at FallOut. It’s the only way I see this ending properly and with me on top. No matter what I have to try my hardest and this is the only way I know how.
Blaze steadies herself, putting the kendo stick back down after a moment of thought.
BLAZE DARLING: So, you better bring your A game and get to it. Because I intend on being the one to walk away from this as the winner once and for all. Game on.
Blaze grins brightly, placing the kendo stick on her shoulder as the view fades out.
MATCH #2: TROY McCOY VS THE BALL
And this match is underway! The Ball goes to tie up with Troy McCoy but McCoy has other plans. He goes for a few knife edge chops, leaving marks all over The Ball! McCoy whips him into the ropes and hits a discus clothesline. Right there it seems as if The Ball is already out, but McCoy wants to have some more fun. He locks on a Boston Crab. The Ball tries to reach for the ropes but McCoy moves him back to the center of the ring. He picks him up and The Ball tries to get things going with a clothesline of his own, but McCoy ducks underneath and pushes him into the turnbuckle. The Ball immediately comes out looking for any kind of offense possible but instead is greeted with an Exploder Suplex! McCoy stands by him and lands IO! The Standing Moonsault. He picks him up and Locks on THE REAL MCCOY! THE SNAP TIGER SUPLEX INTO A BRIDGING PIN FOR THE THREE COUNT!!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…”Wild Boy” Troy! McCoy!
Amber Westgate: The Wild Boy impresses in his debut match tonight! How do you feel about Troy McCoy, Adam?
Adam LaRue: This man is the real deal, Amber! The fact that it took this long to make it onto TV really makes me doubt the intelligence of those in our profession!
McCoy stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL
[The Zion Arena appears in view. Inside the building, the ring and stage has been set. Nadia Allen is the only one present around ringside, inside the ring. Her legs are underneath the bottom rope, arms draped across the middle rope and her chin resting on the top rope. The eyes lock straight ahead.]
Nadia: First one went to you, Eden. I got what I asked for. And I ended up dropped on the mat.
[She grips the bottom rope, gritting her teeth.]
Nadia: But where I am. I'm up again. And I'm coming back. I told you. Maki. Your leader ISIS. You mess with me. Think you can pick a fight with me, I will end it by ripping your heads off.
[Nadia glares.]
Nadia: You think you're Gods greatest gift because you're following someone who's playing God. You kicked my ass. I couldn't walk out of this ring by myself. First one went to you. You and your God want to teach me a lesson. I didn't get the message the first time. Try again. You and me. Don't care when. Soon.
I'm challenging you. Try it again.
[She then stands up, leaning on the ropes.]
Nadia: This time. Your ass belongs to me.
The Fusion logo flashes on screen as the video begins, then moves to the bottom right corner, indicating a backstage exclusive--and a moment later, an extremely smug looking Kaitlin Williams steps into the scene, the National Championship slung over her shoulder. She chuckles a little bit, drawing her lip into her mouth before speaking up.
Kaitlin Williams: “I keep telling you people--I keep telling you who the hell I am, I keep telling you how good I am, I keep telling you...exactly what Fusion got, when I signed a contract to be on this roster. You got the best wrestler in the world, you got a woman who’s going to push the bar higher and higher. Week after week, I keep walking out there and proving my point; top to bottom, from the shell of a woman calling itself Jessica Anderson to the World Champion herself, Jordan Majors, there’s nobody on this roster quite as focused, quite as driven, quite as good as I am.
Kaitlin Williams: “And while it’s been funny to watch the past couple weeks, as Kasey Kash and Jordan Majors slap fight with each other, here’s a reality check--we shouldn’t have had to waste time earlier tonight with this grand unification match that they still can’t do shit in...”
Kate is...not subtle, a smirk on her face as she gives something off-camera a side-eye, making the jerk off gesture.
Kaitlin Williams: “...and when they inevitably start slap-fighting again, I want everyone to remember something--Kasey Kash has had two chances now, he can’t get the fuckin’ job done. He can get close--and god fucking knows he’ll tell you he got close--but close doesn’t get the job done. Close just means you were almost good enough. And in the meantime? There’s somebody on the roster that just recently pinned the World Champion...hm, I wonder who that was...
Kaitlin Williams: “For all the crying and whinging about circumstance, for all the bitching about CoMiNg ClOsE and JuSt NeEdInG oNe MoRe SeCoNd, I didn’t. I didn’t need one more second, I didn’t need to beg for another opportunity--I kept my eye on the ball when our esteemed World Champion took hers off it, so when I get finished with this useless cunt I have to waste my time with tonight, I expect what I’m due for that win over Jordan Majors--I expect to be next in fucking line, understand?”
The National Champion smirks a little bit, hefting her title up onto her shoulder again.
Kaitlin Williams: “Which brings me...to this Sativa twat that thinks she’s something special. Honestly, what is it with all these women that can’t get their business handled the first time, we need rounds two, three, four, five of the same damn match just to prove they’re...what? Close to good enough? That they’re ALMOST ready to step up and do something that matters? No--let’s be honest, Sativa’s just a benefit of a little bit of charity on Zion’s part; you haven’t been that impressive to make any kind of statement to me, girl--you’re no different than Nadia Allen to me, you’re clapping your hands and your just so happy to get an opportunity, until you run into someone like me...who’s going to remind you, very fucking quickly, how low on the ladder you really are.
Kaitlin Williams: “Do you know who you’re stepping up to, Biscotti? Do you know who you have to step into the ring with tonight? I’m sure you did some five minute google search to find out who I am, but do you really understand what you got yourself into by managing to win that match last week? Because I really...I really don’t think you get it, I really don’t think you know what’s about to happen to you--just like every other fucking person who’s stepped in the ring with me in Zion, you don’t get it. This isn’t some fun opportunity for you, this isn’t some chance to really make a name for yourself!”
Kaitlin’s voice raises in pitch, but the sneer on her face doesn’t go away. With one hand, she keeps hold of the title belt slung over her shoulder...while the other literally palms her face, and drags downward, causing some of her hair to hang down in her face.
Kaitlin Williams: “I think you’re looking at this match as the opportunity of a lifetime, right? A couple matches into your career in Zion, you get a chance to...well, almost match what I managed, but you see this as a chance to win a title so early on, right? A milestone night in your fledgling Zion career, is that what tonight is for you, Sativa? That’s...that’s precious, really; that’s adorable, I want you to hang on to that feeling for me. I want you to hold onto that little belief you have in yourself right now, that tonight could be your chance to jump to damn near the top of Fusion...
Kaitlin Williams: “I want you to hang onto that feeling for me, Sativa...because now I’m going to tell you what tonight really is: tonight isn’t an opportunity for you to challenge for a belt, it’s an opportunity for you to learn that there are levels to this sport, and mine? Mine is higher than anyone else’s right now, the level I’m working on, TOWERS over what you’ve managed so far here. This is a monumental night for you, right? This is Your Chance! This is a night you’ll remember...for me? This is just another Friday night, this is just another title defense against someone that’s thrown in my way to keep me busy. That’s all tonight is: your Big Chance, is just another match, just another chance for me to walk down to the ring and remind every single fucker here who the best wrestler on this roster is...”
Kaitlin chuckles a little bit, her sneer from earlier softening a little, until it’s just the usual, arrogant smirk, one corner of her mouth tugged upward. She almost walks off from the scene...until a thought comes to her mind, and she raises a finger (the index finger, you degenerates).
Kaitlin Williams: “But...really. I want you to do me that favour, girl--hang on to that hope, hang on to that rush...it’s going to make it so much more satisfying to show you that, for all your hope and optimism and Go Get ‘Em attitude...”
Again, Kaitlin’s voice shoots up an octave for a moment, before dropping back to her usual tone.
Kaitlin Williams: “...the only thing you’ll manage to do tonight, is what everyone else has done so far: You. Will. Bow.”
Kaitlin flicks her wrist and dismisses the camera, and we abruptly cut back to ringside.
MATCH #3: ISIS VS ZARA IVORY
GATEWAY CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINAL
Right from the start, ISIS exudes an air of menace. Zara maintains a defensive stance, aware of the storm that awaits her. ISIS charges forward, catching Zara off-guard with a series of powerful clotheslines and dropkicks. Zara tries to counter with a hurricanrana, but ISIS shrugs it off and drives her into the mat with a spine-jarring powerbomb.
As Zara struggles to get up, ISIS is unrelenting. She hoists Zara up, delivering three consecutive German suplexes that leave the crowd wincing with every impact. As ISIS pulls ZRa up, she tries to fight back, catching ISIS in the midsection with a thrust kick before drilling her with a desperation DDT, stunning ISIS momentarily. Zara senses a potential opening, launching herself off the ropes with a diving senton that crushes into ISIS’s chest. Zara follows up with a series of quick-paced moves. In one quick sequence, she nails ISIS with a precise spinning heel kick before driving ISIS’s face into the mat with a running bulldog until she finishes it off with a picture-perfect northern lights suplex, showing a great display of strength. Zara maintains a bridge for a pin but the referee only gets to one before ISIS shows her monstrous strength and kicks out with absolute authority.
The reigning Hardcore Champion quickly regains control, countering Zara’s offense with a cobra clutch slam that shakes the whole ring. She capitalizes on Zara’s weakened state, unleashing a corner splash and launches her over her head with a scintillating exploder suplex. Zara though fights tooth and nail to stay in the match as she manages to slip away from ISIS’s grasp and deliver a stunning arm-trap headlock driver.
In a last-ditch effort, Zara ascends the turnbuckle, launching herself into the air with a breathtaking “Violence Causes Silence” frog splash. But incredibly ISIS refuses to stay down, summoning her monstrous strength, catching Zara in midair, adjusting her position and almost slams her through the ring with a devastating “Welcome to Dystopia” one-arm powerbomb. She stacks Zara up and the referee makes the emphatic three-count and calls for the ball.
VB1 The winner of this match…ISIS!
Amber Westgate: She did it…she got exactly what she wanted…
Adam LaRue: She always seems to, Amber! Looks like ISIS has a one-on-one date for the Gateway Championship against Risa Saito!
ISIS stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA)
The cameraman walked through the calmest of places, the black garden. He posed
Passed over several roses bushes and what not, seeing the woman in black standing there. She had loaded something into the final crate sealing it up. She hands it to Ms j who walks away auth the item before joining up to Legion.
"the Queen" Legion: Tonight the final box has been sealed and it will be only a matter of time before the true clash happens. VixSin, you have to realize that you need to step the game up. Become the true monster we know you can be. We believe that the final outcome will be more terrifying than the trip to this point.
She cackled as she put her hood down letting the black hair fall to her shoulders. Her purple eyes pull one of the roses up looking at it.
"the Queen" Legion: See we understand pain, we understand suffering. Tonight just adds another layer of that to us. VixSin, Quinn, you think you are the monster but really you just keep hitting us from behind, and giving you credit. You've taken it to us, not many people have. Soon VixSin, soon quinn the two of you will just be another victim of pandora.
The Queen crushed the rose in her hand then pointed. A door has appeared and the cameraman heads to it. He goes through and the pink four star box sits there. The fade out leads to a zoom in on the box.
Another week, another edition of Friday Night Fusion. And what a night it was! Such competition, engagements, and let’s not forget the audience. Tonight was definitely amped up. And it didn’t seem to stop there with the engagement! A scene opened up backstage, showcasing a certain someone in her locker room. Oh yes! It was the Valley Princess, leader of the Val Pals, Sativa Biscotti! She was looking a little more confident. A little more determined and a bit more ready do handle tonight. After proving herself in a triple threat contenders match, she was a step closer to perhaps her first championship victory. There was a lot of anxiety but she was pushing through as always. The fans in the background piped up at her appearance, seeing as Sativa had become a quick favorite. But when they settled down, she was ready to speak and definitely opened her mouth.
Sativa Biscotti: I’m so excited! I’m like so so ready for what tonight has to offer. Val Pals, viewers of Zion Wrestling! And especially those Friday Night Fusion! What we have here tonight is, like, an opportunity to showcase just what I’m made of. We have have a chance to prove I’m totally the next big thing in wrestling. That Grammy Tammy wasn’t wrong when she said I had “it”. But, of course I had it, no doy! There wasn’t really a doubt in my mind. Because I do my best week in and week out. And I continue to stay with the mindset that it’s never really done. Your work is never really over. There’s always another mountain to climb. There’s always another level of yourself to find, you know? And, like, I think I’m reaching those levels pretty fast. Kinda like Frieza! Yeah, I’m like a Frieza or whatevs! Or, I could be one of those Saiyan things. I take a beating and I come back stronger than ever! Yeah, I’m one of those! Totally Zenkai boosting out here on your televisions sets!
Sativa pointed at the camera, a big smile plastered on her face as she did so. She was definitely feeling the positive vibes as always.
Sativa Biscotti: Now, in order to get here, it wasn’t really all that pretty. I won my first match, the second one I had a little Nasty interference. But, we got her act cleaned up, you know? Like, Shazzy Pooh was totally gutless. The only time she actually had my number is when she attacked me from behind. But whenever I’m in the ring with her, I’ve proven that Sativa is totally the bees knees. I’m the choices choice and sometimes it’s hard not to choose me, mmkay? But, moving on, like my career. To bigger and better things. Because after I showcased my talents, I became the new number one contender to the Zion National Championship! Yes, Val Pals, you heard me correct-a-mundo! Sativa Biscotti is up to the plate, and I have no choice but to knock it out the park! Chances like these don’t come often. Which means I have to go above and beyond to prove myself tonight. However, it’s a challenge I’m willing to endure. Because if Grammy Tammy believes I’m championship material, then I have to believe I’m championship material. And if I don’t walk out champion, then I’ll know I threw everything I had to give! It’s a win-win for yours truly at the end of the day. But to think of Sativa walking out strapless? As if! We stay pos!
A nod of her head to reassure the viewers of her point of view. Sativa was ready, she was eager to prove herself tonight. That much was for sure. Her body language began to pick back up. That energy surging through her as she began to step in place. But suddenly she ceased doing so. Her smile somewhat faded as she faced the hard camera once again.
Sativa Biscotti: Ugh, what’s my damage? How could I ever be so rude not to mention the actual champion. Kaitlin Williams, I may not know much about you. But that’s only because we haven’t been formally introduced. I’m sure you’ve seen some of my work. And if you haven’t, that’s totes fine! No big! Because you’re going to be served a full course Biscotti tonight! But hey! If there’s one thing I do know about you, Kaity, it’s that you’re tough. And that you’re a winner. You have to be, right? You’re National Champion. You’re at the top, you’re one of the best Zion has to offer. And as I hear, you’re a little undefeated around these parts. Without that fugly smudge on your record like I attained. And that means something around here. And I know people don’t like to be called stepping stones or whatever. So, I guess, I’m gonna call you like, a pebble or something. Because no offense, Kaity, I’m gonna have to skip you across the proverbial pond thing and make a few waves. Tonight is a night of glory for moi. And I have to show out! There’s really no hard feelings between us, mmkay? But when it’s down to the wire, this Valley Girl is going to unrest her bitch face and draw the claws. Which just so happens to be what I’m going through tonight. Like, I just got the wisest advice from Alyssa Bishop. She said I should worry more about impressing myself. That I should double down on my own respect. And, you know what? She was right. I’m going to prove I can do what’s right and shine all at the same damn time, girlfriend!
Sativa snapped her fingers and nodded her head. She was ready to go wrestle her match at this point.
Sativa Biscotti: Tonight, this leg of mine is bad news. Tonight, I show the entire wrestling world who I am and what I’m made of. Do or die, Sativa’s riding high! And I’m inviting all of you out there to join me on cloud nine! I So get ready for me! Kaity, Miss Nasty, whoever out there thinks I’m not worthy. Whoever thinks I’m just some pushover. Because after tonight? Oh, sweetie! For the Val Pals, I’m showing that I’m more than just the Girl Next Door! …After tonight, I’m going to be Zion Wrestling’s NEW National Champion! Tootles!
And with that, Sativa blew a kiss to the camera and threw up the peace sign. She performed a toothy grin and closed her eyes, while performing a slight curtsy-like bow. Once all that awkwardness was over, Sativa knew she was ready to perform. Tonight was a step up, a chance to prove her worth in Zion Wrestling. Win or lose, she was going to be swimming with the big fish and attempting to surpass them. That alone had her aura brimming limitless energy. Energy that was currently carrying her away from the cameras and out of her locker room to go wrestle the biggest opportunity in her life! As she left, the camera lingered in her locker room for just a few seconds. Afterwards, the scene faded out to black, concluding the segment.
MATCH #4: SATIVA BISCOTTI VS KAITLIN WILLIAMS ©
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
The referee signals for the bell, and the match is underway. Sativa starts the match with a burst of speed, engaging in an intricate sequence of fast-paced maneuvers that showcase her agility and never-say-die attitude. She launches into multiple kick variations, landing an enzuigiri, a springboard dropkick, and a rolling solebutt in quick succession. Kaitlin, however, proves to be no slouch as she counters with expertly executed arm drags, showcasing her technical prowess.
Sativa’s strategy becomes clear as she delivers a picture-perfect spear that sends Kaitlin reeling. The crowd erupts in cheers as Sativa gains momentum, transitioning seamlessly into a shiranui that flows into a rolling cutter, leaving Kaitlin staggered. Sativa’s fluidity shines as she follows up with a swinging reverse STO and a jumping neckbreaker that brings Kaitlin to her knees.
But Kaitlin, fights back viciously. She unleashes a barrage of strikes and punishing submissions, including a cross armbreaker that she applies while hanging from the ropes, pushing the boundaries of the rules.
Sativa, true to her spirit, refuses to stay down. She battles her way out of Kaitlin’s clutches and rallies the crowd’s support. She responds with a slap and kick barrage, leaving Kaitlin dazed and stunned. The match takes a thrilling turn as Sativa counters Kaitlin’s aggressive onslaught with an Argentine facebuster, a German suplex, and a powerful neckbreaker that showcases her strength.
As the match intensifies, Sativa executes a “Sky Master” moonsault side slam but Kaitlin kicks out at 2. As she rallies back, Kaitlin’s narcissistic nature soon comes to the forefront as she taunts the audience while delivering a roundhouse kick to a seated Sativa’s head. The two continue to trade blows, each refusing to yield to the other’s will.
With the match hanging in the balance, a sudden twist occurs. Shazzah Nasty makes an unexpected entrance as she runs to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, adding a new layer of intrigue! The fans react as Shazzah initially appears to target Sativa but instead turns the tables by attacking Kaitlin, drilling her with a Clothesline and the referee calls for the bell, signaling for a disqualification.
Amber Westgate: What the hell?! Why would Shazzah Nasty attack Kaitlin Williams?!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match, as a result of a disqualification…and still Zion Wrestling NATIONAL! CHAMPION!...KAITLIN! WILLIAMS!
Adam LaRue: There’s why! Not only did she not wanna see Sativa Biscotti as National Champion, she didn’t even wanna give her the satisfaction of a DQ win either!
Biscotti looks absolutely livid at Nasty’s interference, immediately rushing to her and exchanging the strikes with her! Nasty ends up getting the better of the fatigued Biscotti, throwing her out of the ring! Nasty begins to laugh at Biscotti’s misery, too focused on her to notice that Kaitlin Williams has gotten up behind her! She grabs Nasty by the hair, seemingly about to give her a beating of her own! But Nasty struggles away, sliding out of the ring and looking as though she’d seen a ghost as we fade!
RESULT: DISQUALIFICATION
The sky is bright and sunny over Orlando where, later on, yet another chapter in the ongoing rivalry between Kimberly Williams and Hana Kaneko will go down as part of the main event of tonight’s Fusion. Standing front and center is none other than the eccentric and deadly ginger herself, Kimberly. The Woman Scorned is dressed in dark purple plaid pants, purple dress shoes with a low heel, a forest green silk blouse, and a black leather jacket with ‘Queens of Chaos’ written on the right sleeve and the Queens of Chaos logo embroidered on the front.
Kimberly Williams: I suppose this is where I start to brag about being THE main event, THE spotlight…
The Woman Scorned shakes her head.
Kimberly Williams: …nah, that isn’t my style. Don’t get me wrong. I am certainly honored to be featured in the main event of Fusion. But the fact is that I enjoy plying my craft. I enjoy going out there and doing what I do better than almost anyone else on this planet. And that is to not only take the pain, endure the pain, but to also dish out the pain and the violence and the sheer brutality. There is a reason why I like to consider myself the Queen of the Death Match. Violence is what I do best. But our lovely play by play people accurately pointed out that I am also The Wild Card…it’s a moniker I don’t use as much, but I borrowed it from my step-dad who liked to play cards. I am a Wild Card because you just never know when or how I will strike.
Williams points a finger at the camera.
Kimberly Williams: You should know that better than anyone, Hana Kaneko. A couple of weeks ago you thought you had me dead to rights until I dropped you like a ton of bricks with a knee to your thick skull. And you DO really have a thick skull if you think I fear you tonight. For starters, I’m too freaking insane to fear anyone or anything. Got it? Good. Second, you and I have been at this song and dance for about two months now and I have gotten to know you well. We were supposed to be besties, BFFs for Foundations of Decay; hell I would have invited you to throw things at old people with me if I thought it would have helped the whole team building shtick. But that didn’t work out. Fact is, some people just don’t mesh well. Some people just don’t have good chemistry. You and I, the only way we work out is as enemies. That much is proven and you know what else is proven, Kaneko?
She smirks knowingly.
Kimberly Williams: I…can beat…you.
The Woman Scorned shrugs her shoulders.
Kimberly Williams: I honestly don’t know what you expect to get out of this. Do you want to get your win back? Do you want to save face and salvage whatever reputation you thought you had? Do you need to earn my respect? You don’t need to do any of that, Hana…at least not with me. If you’re that self-conscience about one single defeat to little old me then something really is wrong with you, and I would like to think that someone like you, the warrior that I know you are, is not that messed up in the head. As for reputation? The only person who you need to prove anything to is staring at you in the mirror. Finally, as far as the respect is concerned, I do respect you. I respect you enough that I will not hold back tonight, just as I did not hold back a couple of weeks ago when I beat your ass in the center of the ring. So I’m sorry, Hana, I really am sorry, but if your goal tonight is to make things different then I am here to crush those dreams. I am here to finish this once and for all because Hana, as awesome as this little thing between the two of us has been from July all the way until now…
She sighs and shakes her head.
Kimberly Williams: …I’m bored with it. I’m bored with you. No disrespect intended, but how many more times do we have to go through this cycle, huh? Tonight this thing between you and I that started months ago in a silly qualifying match that ended in a draw, this whole thing that continued on with trouble and drama between us, this thing that drew to a climax on Fusion 93 when I pinned your shoulders to the mat, all of it comes to its conclusion one way or another here tonight in Orlando on the big stage, in the main event, where people like us belong…
Williams laughs softly.
Kimberly Williams: …oops, I promised no ego stroking like that. My bad. Now where was I? Oh yes. You and me, Kaneko, we finish this tonight. And if I have anything to say about it, it ends with me pinning your shoulders to the mat for a second straight time…or maybe with me tapping you out…but either way, it ends with me once again victorious.
She playfully waves at the camera before skipping away.
The camera opens backstage to where we find the intruder in our previous match up. She’s by herself, but clearly ready to chat. Hands on her hips, it’s obvious just how proud of herself she is.
Shazz Nasty: Were you all not listening? I warned Sativa previously that this business is no place for nice girls, and I really, really hoped that she would take that lesson to heart without me having to kick it through the back of her thick shit skull. But here we are!
She clapped her hands together with a sigh.
Shazz Nasty: You see, years ago I used to be a rosy cheeked little wrestling baby too. I wrestled as ‘Stacy Doll’ with my husband ‘Ken,’ and if we weren’t just the apple of everybody’s eye from town to town. Thee couple to see and to want to be. And you know what it got me? Not a God damn thing!
An angry foot stomped to accentuate her point.
Shazz Nasty: Everything you want in this life you have to claw, scratch, fight, and steal to get because that is what this business is about. There is no respect or honor in wrestling, and if you’re buying into that I hate to be the one to tell you you’re being sold a load of bullshit by a carnival barker of the highest caliber. And you know? Kudos to them for taking all of you dumb saps’ money so easily.
I’m not a naïve little girl though. I am a grown Nasty ass woman and I don’t think that the good folks here at Zion knew just what exactly that means. But you all are starting to learn. And Sativa? Don’t make me tell you again…
A woman passed her in the hallway, their shoulders brushing into one another rather roughly.
Shazz Nasty: Hey, watch where your tits are going! God damn…
Erika Crawford: Well, you just love making enemies with every woman you meet, don’t you?
The other woman turned herself back around to reveal that it was none other than Erika Kash, and she gave Miss Nasty a slow smile. In return Shazz gave her the full length elevator eyes, from head to toe and up again. The woman’s appearance rang no bells of familiarity in her head.
Shazz Nasty: And you are?
Erika Crawford: I’m the woman whose husband you keep flirting with on Twitter.
The platinum blonde Fusion star pressed her lips together and let her head fall to the side just slightly as she thought in quiet contemplation.
Shazz Nasty: Okay, you’re going to have to be a LOT more specific because that could be just about anybody honey.
Erika Crawford: Kasey.
Shazz Nasty: Jones?
Erika Crawford: No, Kasey Kash… Look, I have no issue with who or what he looks at, because I know at the end of the day he’s going to be in bed with me. But I have a whole different issue when that play flirting turns onto you indirectly asking him to go back to yours.
Shazzah Nasty threw her hands up in annoyance, not quite yet to the level of throwing those hands though.
Shazz Nasty: For your information, I would never invite your Juggalo husband back to my bed. I don’t take strays home, but I do visit the pound on the odd occasion to put a bitch down. I thought teaching Sativa a lesson was my charitable contribution for this tax quarter, but you know what? You can get one too.
Now Erika was the one in disbelief, looking at Shazz with a puzzled look on her face before she responded.
Erika Crawford: I’m sorry, are you taking me asking you to not try and have sex with my husband as a threat? Look, Shazz. I had no problem with you. I didn’t! Hell, I didn’t even want it to come to this! I don’t care if it’s just friendly flirty business on the timeline, I really don’t. But you overreacting to me asking you, as what I thought was your friend, to please not indirectly ask him to get into your bed?... Jesus I thought you were better than that, Shazz.
In all honesty, Erika was catching shrapnel and strays. For Shazzah Nasty things hadn’t taken off on the rocket ship trajectory she had envisioned for herself, resulting in the actions of tonight quite obviously. But what was Shazz going to do now? Apologize? She scoffed, and doubled down.
Shazz Nasty: Sweetheart, my name is Shazz Nasty, not Shazz Nice. I’m here in my lane, addressing my fans when you swerved your way in. If you want to address me politely, you could have done it the same way your man does, and that’s in the DMs. But I think you’ve made your point … and I have too.
Shazz reached her hand up to tap her finger on Erika’s nose, but the other woman’s reflexes were ready and she immediately smacked Shazz’s hand away. The blonde woman forced a smile, and the two stepped in closer to one another for a drawn out moment. Miss Nasty finally turned her smile into a pucker, and blew Erika a kiss.
Shazz Nasty: I’ll see you around, Erika..
The two ladies continued to exchange steely glares, but took their leave of one another, walking in opposite directions. And the show went on…
Amber Westgate: Well tonight has certainly been a wild one as we head towards our main event, but first let’s check out what we have on for next week. In the opening contest, they’ve been asking for it for a while and now they finally got it! In a dream clash, Nadia Allen takes on Jessi Ozborne in one-on-one action next week!
Adam LaRue: Speaking of Jessi Ozborne, one person who has been in a pursuit to harm her over the past several weeks is Daria Dorsey! Next week, she looks to do that same harm to one of her Queens of Chaos compatriots in Blaze Darling!
Amber Westgate: Adrian Henderson made a definitive statement last week as he ran off with Gianna Rojas’ Viral Championship! Now he seemingly looks to “defend” that title next week, as he goes one-on-one with Crystal Caldwell!
Adam LaRue: And in our main event, we both know how long we’ve been waiting for someone to hand Angelica Matthews her ass since she’s come back, and it seems that she’s been just as hungry to be the one to do it! Alexis Lemon takes on Angelica Matthews to cap off an explosive Fusion ahead of our trip to Chicago!
MAIN EVENT: KIMBERLY WILLIAMS VS HANA KANEKO
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 65 kgs…Hana! Kaneko!
Amber Westgate: Hana Kanekowith huge motivation to redeem herself after a huge loss to Kimberly Williams a few weeks ago on Fusion!
Adam LaRue: That loss was horrendous, but I hope that Kaneko has brought something more to the table than motivation! Williams is unpredictable, and if Kaneko doesn’t have some type of winning edge, she’ll end up on the mat like last time!
And this match is underway! Both competitors get face to face and exchange some trash talk. But Hana shoves Kimberly. Kimberly takes offense to that and shoves her back. Before you know it, both of them begin to exchange strikes! Neither one really gets an advantage over the other one for a little bit. But Hana hits a bicycle knee strike that temporarily stuns Kimberly. Kimberly bounces off the ropes from the strike and comes back and hits Hana with a nice capture suplex! It nearly sends Hana to the outside of the ring. She’s quick to stay on the offensive and locks in a Dragon Sleeper. We see Hana try to reach for the ropes but she’s unsuccessful. Hana then goes for Plan B, which is a snapmare takedown! She gets on top of Kimberly and elbow strikes her a few times before picking her up and throwing her into the turnbuckle. She charges right after her, hitting a clothesline. Kimberly is dazed for the moment, and Hana goes for what appears to be a GTS, but Kimberly kicks her way out of it and hits a German Suplex. She quickly heads over to Hana and hooks the leg, going for a pinfall attempt.
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kickout! It’s going to take more than that to knock Hana off! Kimberly picks her up and is looking for another German Suplex, but this time Hana elbows her face and throws her into the ropes. When Kimberly comes back she hits her with a nice slingblade.Both competitors get back to a vertical base and exchange arm drag takedowns. They follow that up by exchanging a few chops. The they both run into the ropes and both miss dropkicks, getting back to their feet! The crowd begins a “This Is Awesome!” Chant and start to come alive. Kimberly doesn’t want to give Hana an inch and hits a DDT. Kimberly marches towards Hana, but Hana instantly trips her up and sends her to the outside of the ring. Hana Kaneko follows Kimberly to the outside, and picks her up, throwing her into the barricade. She begins kicking away at her She picks her up, and then tosses her on the barricade! She quickly goes into the ring and then outside of the ring to breakup the count. Right as she goes back over however, Kimberly greets her with a lightning spiral. Kimberly doesn’t want to win with a countout so she throws Hana back into the ring. Right as she goes towards Hana, Hana rolls out the way and jumps up, hitting not one but TWO Codebreakers! She covers Kimberly!
ONE…!
TWO…!
KICKOUT!!! Kimberly kicked out both Codebreakers! Hana can’t believe it! She decides to just strike away on Kimberlys forehead and now the referee has to get her off! Clearly that was an act out of frustration! She thought she had her! Hana begins arguing a little with the referee, and Kimberly rolls up Hana, but gets a quick 2 count! Both competitors get up and Kimberly Irish whips Hana back into the turnbuckle, and begins striking away. Hana returns the favor, hitting her with a few of her own. After creating a bit of space, Hana goes for an elbow, but Kimberly ducks underneath and hits a German Suplex right into the turnbuckle! The crowd is amped after that and so is Kimberly. Kimberly picks up Kana who goes for a Million Dollar Dream. Hana however is quick to see it coming and reverses out of it. She rocks her with a handspring cutter and down goes Kimberly. Hana looks to be in control now. She waits for Kimberly to get up before she goes for a nice running lariat. Kimberly is down and Hana looks to go for a pinfall attempt. But Kimberly rolls out and gives her a kick to the midsection and goes for an Asai DDT!
Both competitors are down and out. The fans are showing them their support as there is no clear cut winner so far. They both begin striking one another from a knee position. Hana begins to headbutt Kimberly a few times. Kimberly exchanges some of her own, giving Hana a taste of her own medicine! This infuriates Hana who headbutts her even harder! Kimberly is motioning for her to do it again, and she does! Now both are back to a vertical base and Kimberly Williams hits an elevated delayed German Suplex on Hana! Hana goes down to the mat hard and Kimberly backs up. Right as Hana gets up to her feet, she comes across the ring with Morrigan’s Wrath! The Superkick connects hard! She’s down and out! She’s looking to lock in Homage To The Queen! The Crucifix armbar neck submission! She has it locked in tight! But Hana isn’t tapping! Eventually she has no choice but to let go. Hana gets up and hits Kimberly with a Everest German Suplex! Kimberly gets up and Hana hits Blade Stopper! The Rainmaker connects! The crowd was in complete shock! Right then she goes for a pin attempt!
ONE…!
TWO…!
KICKOUT!!! KIMBERLY WILLIAMS KICKED OUT!!! What do they have to do to put each other away!?!? Hana picks her up for Headless Swordsman! But wait! Kimberly Williams counters out of it and is looking for a Shadowblade, but Hana rolls out of the way and eats the turnbuckle! The crowd is in awe! Hana had her and then Kimberly had her! Both tried for their finisher and both couldn’t seal the deal! The referee begins his 10 count. He reaches about 6 before they start stirring, and right as he reaches a 9 count, they both begin to get up. The moment he comes down for a 10, they’re back to their feet! Hana goes to hit a rolling kick, but Kimberly rolls out of the way. She rises up and hits SHADOWBLADE!!! OH WAIT!!! HANA DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY!! Kimberly accidentally hit the referee with it! Kimberly goes to check on the referee immediately!
Amber Westgate: Whoa…what a minute…what this, Adam…
Just then we see ISIS, Maki Megumi and Eden Sterling all at ringside! They have it surrounded! Kimberly Williams and Hana Kaneko are standing back to back, waiting for an attack to break out. Kimberly begins motioning for the trio to come in the ring. But Hana smiles and points to Maki. Maki smiles back, tossing a LEAD PIPE TO HANA! The crowd is going radio silent now. Hana WHACKS Kimberly hard with the lead pipe, and then quickly tosses it back to Maki! She covers Kimberly right as the referee begins to wake up.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Hana! Kaneko!
Amber Westgate: I…I can’t believe it…what did Hana Kaneko just due!
Adam LaRue: Sold her soul to the devil is what…or more aptly, a God!
ISIS, Megumi, and Sterling all climb into the ring as Kaneko has her hand raised! The three look down on Williams, with Kaneko getting out of the way and allowing the trio to stomp on her relentlessly! ISIS then approaches Kaneko, with the two shaking hands and sealing her initiation! Megumi and Sterling then pull Williams to her feet, leaving her helpless as Kaneko looks to apply another move!
Just then Nadia Allen, Erika Crawford, and Zara Ivory all rush out from the backstage area! Allen immediately pounces on Sterling, with the two fighting back and forth out of the ring and through the ringside area! Meanwhile, Ivory and Crawford take out the rest of the group, with Crawford laying into her rival, Maki Megumi, with strikes, while Ivory takes out Kaneko! Megumi and Kaneko are both outside of the ring, itching to get back in, but ISIS holds them back, stating that the four got exactly what they wanted!
Amber Westgate: Nadia Allen and the Queens of Chaos may have fought ISIS and her goons off for now, but I have a feeling that this is only the beginning!
Adam LaRue: ISIS’ new group may have lost the battle, but the war is far from over! And with the killer’s row the God of Destruction has in her corner, the word “war” may have just been used more literally than it ever has been in this sport!
Ivory and Crawford help Williams to her feet, while Allen just stares daggers into Sterling’s soul as we fade to black.
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 65 kgs…Hana! Kaneko!
Amber Westgate: Hana Kanekowith huge motivation to redeem herself after a huge loss to Kimberly Williams a few weeks ago on Fusion!
Adam LaRue: That loss was horrendous, but I hope that Kaneko has brought something more to the table than motivation! Williams is unpredictable, and if Kaneko doesn’t have some type of winning edge, she’ll end up on the mat like last time!
And this match is underway! Both competitors get face to face and exchange some trash talk. But Hana shoves Kimberly. Kimberly takes offense to that and shoves her back. Before you know it, both of them begin to exchange strikes! Neither one really gets an advantage over the other one for a little bit. But Hana hits a bicycle knee strike that temporarily stuns Kimberly. Kimberly bounces off the ropes from the strike and comes back and hits Hana with a nice capture suplex! It nearly sends Hana to the outside of the ring. She’s quick to stay on the offensive and locks in a Dragon Sleeper. We see Hana try to reach for the ropes but she’s unsuccessful. Hana then goes for Plan B, which is a snapmare takedown! She gets on top of Kimberly and elbow strikes her a few times before picking her up and throwing her into the turnbuckle. She charges right after her, hitting a clothesline. Kimberly is dazed for the moment, and Hana goes for what appears to be a GTS, but Kimberly kicks her way out of it and hits a German Suplex. She quickly heads over to Hana and hooks the leg, going for a pinfall attempt.
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kickout! It’s going to take more than that to knock Hana off! Kimberly picks her up and is looking for another German Suplex, but this time Hana elbows her face and throws her into the ropes. When Kimberly comes back she hits her with a nice slingblade.Both competitors get back to a vertical base and exchange arm drag takedowns. They follow that up by exchanging a few chops. The they both run into the ropes and both miss dropkicks, getting back to their feet! The crowd begins a “This Is Awesome!” Chant and start to come alive. Kimberly doesn’t want to give Hana an inch and hits a DDT. Kimberly marches towards Hana, but Hana instantly trips her up and sends her to the outside of the ring. Hana Kaneko follows Kimberly to the outside, and picks her up, throwing her into the barricade. She begins kicking away at her She picks her up, and then tosses her on the barricade! She quickly goes into the ring and then outside of the ring to breakup the count. Right as she goes back over however, Kimberly greets her with a lightning spiral. Kimberly doesn’t want to win with a countout so she throws Hana back into the ring. Right as she goes towards Hana, Hana rolls out the way and jumps up, hitting not one but TWO Codebreakers! She covers Kimberly!

KICKOUT!!! Kimberly kicked out both Codebreakers! Hana can’t believe it! She decides to just strike away on Kimberlys forehead and now the referee has to get her off! Clearly that was an act out of frustration! She thought she had her! Hana begins arguing a little with the referee, and Kimberly rolls up Hana, but gets a quick 2 count! Both competitors get up and Kimberly Irish whips Hana back into the turnbuckle, and begins striking away. Hana returns the favor, hitting her with a few of her own. After creating a bit of space, Hana goes for an elbow, but Kimberly ducks underneath and hits a German Suplex right into the turnbuckle! The crowd is amped after that and so is Kimberly. Kimberly picks up Kana who goes for a Million Dollar Dream. Hana however is quick to see it coming and reverses out of it. She rocks her with a handspring cutter and down goes Kimberly. Hana looks to be in control now. She waits for Kimberly to get up before she goes for a nice running lariat. Kimberly is down and Hana looks to go for a pinfall attempt. But Kimberly rolls out and gives her a kick to the midsection and goes for an Asai DDT!
Both competitors are down and out. The fans are showing them their support as there is no clear cut winner so far. They both begin striking one another from a knee position. Hana begins to headbutt Kimberly a few times. Kimberly exchanges some of her own, giving Hana a taste of her own medicine! This infuriates Hana who headbutts her even harder! Kimberly is motioning for her to do it again, and she does! Now both are back to a vertical base and Kimberly Williams hits an elevated delayed German Suplex on Hana! Hana goes down to the mat hard and Kimberly backs up. Right as Hana gets up to her feet, she comes across the ring with Morrigan’s Wrath! The Superkick connects hard! She’s down and out! She’s looking to lock in Homage To The Queen! The Crucifix armbar neck submission! She has it locked in tight! But Hana isn’t tapping! Eventually she has no choice but to let go.

KICKOUT!!! KIMBERLY WILLIAMS KICKED OUT!!! What do they have to do to put each other away!?!? Hana picks her up for Headless Swordsman! But wait! Kimberly Williams counters out of it and is looking for a Shadowblade, but Hana rolls out of the way and eats the turnbuckle! The crowd is in awe! Hana had her and then Kimberly had her! Both tried for their finisher and both couldn’t seal the deal! The referee begins his 10 count. He reaches about 6 before they start stirring, and right as he reaches a 9 count, they both begin to get up. The moment he comes down for a 10, they’re back to their feet!

Kimberly goes to check on the referee immediately!
Amber Westgate: Whoa…what a minute…what this, Adam…
Just then we see ISIS, Maki Megumi and Eden Sterling all at ringside! They have it surrounded! Kimberly Williams and Hana Kaneko are standing back to back, waiting for an attack to break out. Kimberly begins motioning for the trio to come in the ring. But Hana smiles and points to Maki. Maki smiles back, tossing a LEAD PIPE TO HANA! The crowd is going radio silent now. Hana WHACKS Kimberly hard with the lead pipe, and then quickly tosses it back to Maki! She covers Kimberly right as the referee begins to wake up.

ISIS, Megumi, and Sterling all climb into the ring as Kaneko has her hand raised!
