As Mayhem goes on air, following the opening reel, the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary comes to life as Dorothy’s “Black Sheep” hits the PA system. As the lights flicker across the stage, Lilith Meadows and Morgan Payne walk out onto the stage to an uproarious ovation. The pair hold the stage for a moment as Lilith waves a black t-shirt over her head in a circle, getting the crowd worked up more. Morgan raises the Zion Undisputed Championship high over her head, then brings it back down on her shoulder and the pair raise their fists, touching them together as the crowd raise theirs up.
Vivian Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Lilith Meadows and the Zion Wrestling Undisputed Champion. They are…THE KINGDOM!
Lilith and Morgan make their way to the ring, showing love to the fans as Morgan touches hands and Lilith bounces and skips along down the ramp. The pair reach the ring and climb in, scaling a turnbuckle where Morgan raises the title again and Lilith waves the shirt around.
Winter Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, The Kingdom are in the house and Calgary’s giving them a warm welcome!
Kyle Cassidy: Morgan Payne wasn’t shy about making her point on social media, Winter. She said the Kingdom needed to strengthen its numbers here in Zion. You see the shirt in Lilith Meadows hands. Bold move showing the hand of inviting a new member.
Winter Blake: But who, though? Morgan Payne said they’re surrounded by enemies on all sides. Who do they have to call upon?
Kyle Cassidy: I guess we’re about to find out.
As the two step down from the turnbuckle and their music fades out, Morgan calls for a couple of microphones and hands one to Lilith. She secures her title on her shoulder and slaps the mouthpiece on her microphone.
Morgan Payne: Ayo Calgary!
She pauses for dramatic effect, pacing around the ring before raising the mic back up.
Morgan Payne: Whatchinz up to?
Crowd: WHATCHINZ UP TO?!
Morgan Payne: Lily an’ me thought we’d come aht here an’ get dis over wif. Let tha show go ahn, not leave dis in tha back o’everyone’s minds. Ain’t dat right, Lilybug?
Lilith has a playful smile on her face as she skips around Morgan a little bit before she comes to a stop and can barely stop bouncing still as she yanks the microphone out of Morgan’s hand with a giggle.
Lilith Meadows: Yeah, that’s right! We don’t wanna take up everyone’s time and we got lotsa Reese’s Pumpkins sittin in the locker room that has our name on it! Morgan takes her mic back, pats Lilith on the head and points to the mic she handed her before continuing.
Morgan Payne: She gets hyper, thinkin’ ‘bout candy, but yinz knew dat. However, comma! We could stand here longer an’ talk abaht other shit. We could talk abaht Battleborn an’ how dat went, but tha proof’s right here for everyone t’see.
She slaps the center plate of the Undisputed Championship belt, sitting on her shoulder.
Morgan Payne: We could talk abaht tha match later ahn for who’s gonna try an’ take dis from me. I ain’t gonna discredit anyone in dat match. Between Dinah Wolfe, Willa Stoneheart and Zachary Porter, they’re all dangerous in their own right, n’at. But let’s be real, where there’s one member of The Void, the others often ain’t far and so long as dis is being held by anyone but them?
Morgan lifts the belt up again and clicks her tongue into the mic.
Morgan Payne: Well, yinz can’t really expect t’be taken seriously when you say “Tha Void runs Mayhem” can ya? And Willa? Chick, ahnno you an’ Lily here got history. Guess it was only a matter o’time before you an’ me had tha chance o’crossin’ paths. Like tha sayin’ often goes: you fuck arahnd enough an’ you gon’ find aht. Bet on dat shit. Dinah, you somethin’ else in dis ring wif a pair o’boots ahn. If it winds up bein’ you in Toronto, believe me, I welcome it. I ain’t come here t’Zion to skirt by on easy matches. ‘Specially not as a champion. Yinz can ask Lily, I don’t take easy routes. None of us in Tha Kingdom do, do we?
Lilith shakes her head and giggles again, but then she finally decides to get serious in the moment.
Lilith Meadows: We never have. None of us have. There’s a reason The Kingdom is the best gosh darn group wrestlin has ever seen. And that’s because we don’t rest on our laurels. We don’t sit by and wait for things to be handed to us. We scratch and claw our way to the top every single time. We watch out for us and our own, but we don’t use the numbers like The Void does. We don’t gotta because we’re that darn good, but we also know when we’re outnumbered, but we think it’s about time to introduce the newest member, don’t you, Morggy?
Morgan Payne: Say less, Lily. So!
Morgan turns to the camera by the corner of the ring as she continues.
Morgan Payne: Like she just said, here in Tha Kingdom? We look aht for our own when shit gets ahtta hand. We let tha individuals handle their business, ‘cuz each one of that flies tha banner is capable o’whuppin’ ass an’ makin’ sure people remember tha name o’who’s ass got whupped. Now, we made alotta enemies since comin’ here, just ‘cuz we wanted some new ground to stomp ahn. We been outnumbered. We been jumped. But unfortunately for those motherfuckers responsible, yinz’re findin’ aht Tha Kingdom don’t crumble easy. We’re built on a strong foundation and every now and then, tha time comes t’reinforce dat foundation t’keep us standin’ tall. An’ t’be completely honest, we been discussion’ dis at tha home table for awhile now. Since shortly after my ass caught up wif Lily here in Zion. Yeah, yinz could call dis a “special club.” It’s pro wrestlin’. What faction ain’t? But at tha end o’tha day, as tha sayin’ goes, real recognize real, and tonight, on behalf o’Tha entire Kingdom, me an’ Lily wanna open up tha gates an’ introduce tha newest member to what’s been goin’ strong for over five years. So without any further adieu, an’ wifout me beatin’ arahnd tha bush, lemme an’ Lily turn dis floor over.
Morgan and Lilith turn towards the stage as Morgan extends her other arm out towards the curtain.
Morgan Payne: Calgary! Make some gahdamn noise! An’ welcome to Tha Kingdom…The Guardian Angel…
Winter Blake: Wait, WHAT?!
Morgan Payne: The Sky Genius…
Kyle Cassidy: Whoa whoa, WHAT, WINTER?!
Morgan Payne: NAMI MEGUMI!!!
Nami Megumi runs out through the curtain as she smiles widened on her face as the crowd in the arena are on their feets and goes wild as they start to chant their favorite name “Nami! Nami! Nami!” Nami smiles at them and begins walk towards the ring as she stares and smiles at Morgan Payne as Nami entering the ring and give a hug to both of Morgan and Lilith and take her own microphone from the timekeeper as she walk back to the center of the ring.
Nami Megumi: Hello, Mayhem!
As Nami said the crowd cheers her louder than before as Nami smile even wider as she look around the arena as she see the crowd goes wild
Nami Megumi: Alright, alright. Calm down, everyone I come out here but I'm not going to say anything about my personal problem but I'm going to says something about my new faction… THE KINGDOM yeah like everyone knows I used to be a member of the Violence Corporation or even the Violence Artists before in Zion but for the Kingdom it is different… I'm proud to be a part of THE KINGDOM... and like everyone knows the Void has attacked me since the early of this season… in my match against Zachary Porter… and it is the beginning of my downfall this season but who will know? Someone save me from them, yeah. Everyone already knows the Ace saved me from them and look at her now even though they tried to do the bullshit thing to her. Finally she can beat Kara Carbajal and now when they invite me to the Kingdom… I don't see why I will turn down this offer.
Immediately, Lilith smiles as she holds out the shirt to Nami, and as she takes it, Lilith nods her head and grabs the microphone from Morgan.
Lilith Meadows: Everyone knows that we ain’t gonna ever go down quietly and we won’t back away. We’re so happy to have Nami in our family now and Morggy’s title is just the first of many that we’re gonna hold because now, Mayhem is run by The Kingdom.
There’s a murmur from the crowd as Morgan shrugs her shoulders. She goes to lift her hand up, remembering Lilith snatched her mic again. She takes it back from Lilith and taps it against the blonde’s forehead, gently.
Morgan Payne: Lilybug, yer holdin’ one already. Goob.
Morgan addresses the crowd again.
Morgan Payne: But yanno what? I ain’t gonna disagree wif what Lily said. Just makes me harken back to somethin’ I always say. People wanna act like we’re tryina’ run tha place? People wanna get up in arms abaht more of us decidin’ we wanna branch aht and look for work in more than one company? Go ahead. Raise arms. We’re always ready. We ain’t never backed dahn from a fight an’ we sure as fuck ain’t abaht t’start now. Shit, much as I’m ready t’face any of you three in dat triple threat tonight? I’d be remiss t’not say…Zach Porter? I’m almost rootin’ for you t’come aht as tha winner tonight. Cuz then I get to look forward t’Invasion and showin’ yo ass first hand…
Morgan pauses, raises the Undisputed Title up beside her head as she, Lilith and Nami look into the camera.
Morgan Payne: ...who really runs dis shit. And if yinz need another example? CALGARY!!!!!
Morgan steps back from the camera and turns to the crowd.
Morgan Payne: THA KINGDOM…IS…HERE!!!!!!
She throws her arm with the mic up.
Crowd: BEHOLD!!!!
Morgan lets the mic fall from her hand and clenches her raised fist as Dorothy’s “Black Sheep” comes back on. Together, Morgan, Lilith and Nami come to the center of the ring and touch fists in the sky as Calgary goes wild.
The cameraman joins the three sisters just outside Saddledome on the steps leading to it. The three sisters are talking as he approaches them, Kaya and Lilith don't look at him for a moment before EJ steps down and moves into his view, the two sisters finish talking as they head down, looking at the cameraman resting their arms on either side of their sister. They look at the cameraman disgusted by the fact that they had to demand their rematch.
"the Poison Rose" Kaya Parker: Two weeks ago, ladies, that was just a fluke of a chance that you beat us. Then they have the nerve to demand someone to fight, and those two bitches from the House of Wolves think that they could have just jumped over us? Tonight is our time to take back those Undisputed tag team Championships, and prove that two weeks ago, there was no doubt that we should have won. Austin, Sayge what you two got last week is just a preview of what is to come tonight, and yes you two cunts, have to learn that the place that you belong is in the back of the line.
Kaya turns away as Lilith directs the cameraman's attention to her. She then steps down in front of EJ, as Kaya composes herself.
Lilith Parker: Tonight in the Saddledome, we prove that two weeks ago Datadames... That your win is nothing more than us getting overconfident and taking our eyes off the ball. We've taken you out once, even with the help of EJ, but now we gotta do this ourselves. We came into this province with the gold, we left a "city of Champions" without them, and when we return out of the province then we will be the new Undisputed Tag Team Champions. You should not be focusing on the next challenge when the real challenge remains in front of you. Calgary, you should be thanking us for gracing this shit hole of a city with our presence, tonight you get to see what real talent looks like, unlike the Stampeders or the Flames.
Lilith Cackles as she steps back behind EJ then Kaya approaches with two roses, smiling a bit as she tosses them at the cameraman's feet, the cameraman stepping back looking down at the two roses.
"the Poison Rose" Kaya Parker: Tonight, those titles come home, and when they do all you have to say is one thing.
Kaya's grey eyes light up a bit.
"the Poison Rose" Kaya Parker: DRACARYS!
She, Lilith and EJ depart as the roses spark up into green flames. They turn around watching the roses for a moment, then head back into the arena.

RESULT: PINFALL (CTRL + ALT + DELETE)
We see the Datadames celebrating their victory briefly, before cutting to the image of their fight on a television, as Hayumi Yamamoto is sneering upon the sight of their victory. She finds them a mockery of what the sport could be, as Hayumi would address the tag champions.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"These two are not what this company needs. Trickery is for the weak. The cowardly. My sisters in arms and I are the cure for this, as we're competing for the Queen of Strong Style Title. One of us is destined to advance, for certain. As for Melissa Tasman…"
Hayumi would then give a devilish giggle, as she was ready to draw blood on her opponent.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"Melissa Tasmin is in grave danger. Facing me in the opening round is giving you no consolation at all. It's all in the name… the Damiyo of Violence. I was made for fights like this, and I can't wait to get in there and tear you limb from limb like an insect. Enjoy this tournament while you can, Melissa. Because it's going to be very short for you."
Backstage at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary..Alberta, Canada there was quite the commotion going on. One, of many, doors were opened up, rolling fog pouring from behind it. Rapidly flashing lights and thumping music emanated from the inside of that room and upon further inspection, nothing else from inside could really be seen. Of course, that changed once a single individual stepped out into view from the contained party.
That individual was none other than the Zion Wrestling Internet Champion Ricky Rodriguez! As per usual, Ricky was all smiles, feeling as if he was on top of the world. And why wouldn't he? Things were going great all the way around and he was looking to ride that wave right into tonight's Internet Championship defense.
Ricky had some new gear he was decked out in, a pair of red boy shorts with ample underass cleavage, bright green cheetah print boots, and matching elbow and knee pads. As soon as Ricky caught sight of that cameraman, his mood picked up that much more, if a thing was even possible.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'See, now this is what I'm talkin bout. Just..not stressin bout this title defense comin up. Totally just..at ease. This is exactly what I need. Cause like..up until now, it's just been like match after match. One result to another. But now?
We doin shit differently now. It's a party back here. Life is a party and I'm tired of lettin myself get all stressed and worked up over some stupid kinda shit, y'know? Ain't no point in gettin all up in arms bout some fuckin roach tryinta jump me. No point in worryin bout shit else goin on around me.'
Ricky nodded his head a single time, backing into the door frame only to relax against it.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'But..before I can really get into it? There's business to be handled. And that business goes past just this week..it goes past Zion. Tonight, I defend my Internet Championship against Bianca Page. Now, Bianca hadda lotta shit to say when we were goin back and forth then so she's gotta still have that same energy when we're set to go at it..right?
Wrong. Honestly, I don't think she's even mentioned it really, if at all. Hell, I'd be surprised if she even remembers she's got the match comin up. Could be she's too busy to give a fuck bout Zion. Could be she knows what's comin and wants to keep those words soft and sweet for when I shove'em down her fuckin throat~
Either way, however she wants to spin it to tryta save face after I handle that ass..the fact gonna be just the same. This ain't bout Ash or FCW or Marina or none of that. It's me goin out there and provin I'm just..better.
The party's only startin. Tryta keep up.'
Shooting a wink, Ricky waved off the cameraman before turning around and making his way back into the fogged up party room.
MATCH #2: MELISSA TASMAN VS HAYUMI YAMAMOTO
QoSS TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH
Melissa starts the action with a flying forearm, catching Hayumi off guard. She follows it up with a quick dropkick that sends Hayumi stumbling back. Melissa capitalizes on this, hitting a clothesline that drops Hayumi to the mat.
Hayumi is quick to recover. She counters Melissa's next move, a DDT attempt, with a stiff high kick to the ribs. Hayumi seizes the opportunity, applying a Triangle Choke. Melissa struggles but manages to reach the ropes, forcing a break.
Both wrestlers continue to showcase their skills with back-and-forth action. Melissa executes her signature sitout facebuster, but Hayumi perseveres and responds with a Pendulum Backbreaker, causing Melissa to grimace in pain. However, Melissa's ring awareness and patience become prominent as she manages to regain control.
As the match progresses, Melissa hits a series of Triple German Suplexes that leave Hayumi dazed. She then attempts her Tasmelian Devil-Corkscrew Body Splash, but Hayumi rolls out of the way just in time. Hayumi seizes the moment and locks in Kiyohime's Embrace Dragon Sleeper, applying a bodyscissor. Melissa is in trouble, but she refuses to submit.
Just when it seems like Melissa might tap out, Valentina Skye appears through the crowd She climbs onto the apron, distracting the referee. The distraction allows Melissa the opportunity to escape Hayumi's hold. As the referee demonstrated with Valentina, Melissa takes advantage, delivering a Scissor Kick to Hayumi.
With Hayumi down and out, Melissa Tasman quickly applies the Texas Heat Armlock cloverleaf. Hayumi Yamamoto has no choice but to submit, and the referee calls for the bell.
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, via submission…Melissa! Tasman!
Winter Mae: Melissa Tasman with a huge victory to advance to the Quarterfinal!
Kyle Cassidy: Due in most part to the help of Valentina Skye, something that’s likely pissed both her and Yamamoto off!
Yamamoto stares at an exiting Valentina Skye, as Tasman hardly celebrates to fade us out!
RESULT: SUBMISSION (TEXAS HEAT)
“Classy” Bianca Page is in her wrestling gear walking through the backstage area of the Scotiabank Saddledome.
“Classy” Bianca Page:Over the last couple of weeks I kept replaying the events of Battleborn. Do I like how the night ended for me? Of course not. Which competitor would? But it is what it is, Serenity got the best of me that night. Which is why she is getting an Endurance title shot tonight. So it is time for me to rebound from Battleborn and I was pleasantly surprised to see I am getting an Internet Championship shot against Ricky Rodriguez.
Bianca smirks and shakes her head.
“Classy” Bianca Page:Most of you might know that Ricky and I have never seen eye to eye. It didn’t help that I beat his lady for the FCW Fight! Championship. So here we are and our boy Ricky of course is doing some thinking. Which we know isn’t exactly his strong suit. We saw him over the last week since our match was announced to stir the pot. I can’t get mad with that considering I have been known to do that a time or two.
Bianca stops walking.
“Classy” Bianca Page:Despite what Ricky might think but tonight is not about him. Matches like this is why I came to Zion Wrestling. A championship match against a big time opponent. While Ricky takes everything personally because we see how soft he actually is. I, on the other hand, view this as what it is. This is a business, Ricky. Business, have you ever heard of that? Which is why the likes of you, Ricky, is nothing more than a short term answer while someone like me is a long term answer. Enjoy the next few moments while you are still the Internet Champion, Ricky, because it won’t be lasting much longer.
We cut backstage as we see Eduardo Gutiérrez skulking around the backstage area, constantly looking around as he finds himself standing outside the locker room belonging to Diamond Steele’s group, the Gemstones. He then knocks on the door and waits for an answer as he smirks devilishly into the camera while rubbing his palms together.
Winter Mae: What in the Hell is this kid up too?
Kyle Cassidy: I have no idea, but whatever it is, it’s not going to be good.I
It isn’t that long until the locker room door opens up. Standing in the doorway was Diamond’s half-sister Sapphire Taylor. The Lead Guitarist for the Gem Stones just stood there with a confused look on her face as she stared at who was in front of her.
Sapphire Taylor: Bloody hell what do you want?!
In the background where we hear her sibling Ruby Steele call out to her in return.
Ruby Steele: Who is that at the door?! Did Kate return with the pancakes?! She promised that she would get us some so we can see why maple syrup is such a big deal in Canada.
Sapphire Taylor: No it’s not her. It’s just some git. Can I help you with something?! You shouldn’t knock on the locker room door of the hottest all girls punk pop band unless you need something. We could have been getting changed or something else.
Gutiérrez raises his hands up defensively.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Woah, señorita… that’s why I knocked first. My name is Eduardo Gutiérrez and you are Sapphire Taylor, right? From Diamond and The Gemstones? Man, I am such a huge fan of your band!
Sapphire gets upset as she begins to stomp her feet.
Sapphire Taylor: It’s just the GEM STONES! Despite what my sister might think there is no DIAMOND and the Gemstones… We are all just the Gemstones!
It is at this moment that the drummer of the group Emerald McAdams walks towards the door. She places a hand on Sapphire’s shoulder as she looks over at the fan.
Emerald McAdams: Sorry don’t mind the manners of my best friend. She can be quite the part at times. What can we do for you?! You want drumsticks or did you want an autograph or something. We appreciate doing anything for our fans.
Ruby Steele: OMGoshie!!! A fan… This is TOTES OUTRAGEOUS!!!! I can grab you all of the merch!!!
The young Spaniard takes his cell phone out of his pocket and points to it.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: I’d love to get a photo with you guys! And I’m of course never gonna turn down autographs and merch from my favorite band ever!
He then looks over off camera.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Ayo, Mamacita! Come take a picture of me with my favorite band!
Soon, Kara “Killer” Carbajal saunters over into frame with a wicked grin on her face as the whole vibe suddenly switches.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Well, well, well… if it isn’t Diamond’s little band the Gemstones.
She tosses her head back and laughs and so does Eduardo as it soon becomes clear to the Gemstones now that this was all just a ploy to get them out of their locker room.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Quick question before I send a message to your lead singer after she decided to get involved in my business. Why exactly do you three put up with her? I mean… it’s clear from your little outburst just now Sapphire that you disagree with how Diamond makes your band all about herself… and yet you just go along with it. Are you just stupid?
Ruby seems confused as she looks at Kara. Meanwhile Sapphire thinks things over.
Ruby Steele: HEY… Diamond might be a lot of stuff but she’s family. We had our differences but she’s my big cousin and I love her!
Sapphire Taylor: IShe’s my sister so I have to put up with her. Let’s forget Diamond right now. What do you mean by sending a message to her? We just literally became on good terms again. Blood or not you take up your issues with her not us! On top of that, whatever message you wish to send shouldn’t involve me. After all, I am Phoebe Taylor-Carbajal. You know the woman married to Paloma. We are like cousin in-laws. We are family through marriage.
Emerald sighs at Sapphire as she keeps her eyes locked on Kara.
Emerald McAdams: Diamond isn’t here. She is going to beat your arse from one side of this company to another for breaking Razzles spirit. She isn’t here right now so you can wait until she gets back to the arena. Now piss off and wait until she returns with the nosh..
Gutiérrez raises his eyebrow as he looks over to Carbajal.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: I don’t know about you, Mamacita… but that sounded like a threat.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: It did. And I don’t take too kindly to threats. As for sending a message to Diamond? This is what I meant by it.
Suddenly Carbajal smashes her head into Ruby’s face with a headbutt while Eduardo goes after Emerald and KC then proceeds to grab Sapphire by the throat and tosses her into their locker room door.
Winter Mae: What the Hell?! Kara is beating the Hell out of the Gemstones here!
Kyle Cassidy: Did you honestly expect anything else from her?
As Emerald fights off Gutiérrez, Carbajal grabs a handful of her hair from behind and drags her away from her Void stablemate.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: You honestly think that I give a shit that you’re supposed to be part of my family, bitch?! I’ve never liked you! You make me sick! And the fact you roll with Diamond makes it even worse!
Carbajal then proceeds to lift Emerald up above her head in a Gorilla press position and then walks over to a nearby table and drops her onto it, sending her through said table.
Winter Mae: Someone needs to stop this!
Kyle Cassidy: Be my guest, Winter! I ain’t going anywhere near KC!
As Ruby gets to her feet clutching her head, a little blood coming trickling from the bridge of her nose, Carbajal grabs her from behind in a rear naked choke as Steele flails her arms around trying to break free from the hold.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Listen up, bitch! When will you finally come back around?! You make sure to tell your sister that if she really wants a piece of me?! That she’s going to suffer way more than any of you or her little friend Razzles ever did! You hear me?!
Sapphire Taylor: ...Fuck you…Kiss my arse…
Diamond’s sister Sapphire slowly gets up from being thrown into the locker room door. In a rage she tries to sprint towards Kara in a weak attempt to try to spear her to the ground. However Eduardo is there to cut her off which allows KC to grab Sapphire by the throat and she slams her against the wall.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Oh you want more?! Get the chairs, Ed!
Carbajal now locks the rear naked choke in on Sapphire while Gutiérrez disappears off camera briefly. Sapphire quickly fades from the submission hold that’s cinched in on her and soon enough, Eduardo returns with two steel chairs as KC releases the hold and Sapphire collapses to the floor out cold.
Winter Mae: This woman is a damn monster!
Kyle Cassidy: And this is why The Void have a stranglehold on the entire Mayhem roster, Winter.
Gutiérrez places one of the chairs underneath Sapphire’s head and then hands the other to Carbajal who then lifts it high above her head before bringing it crashing down onto Sapphire’s head when finally, security and officials rush onto the scene as some of them check on the fallen three women while the others are tasked with getting Carbajal and Gutiérrez away from the area.
Winter Mae: Well finally we have security here but… too little too late.
Kyle Cassidy: The damage has already been done…
Carbajal and Gutiérrez laugh as they’re dragged away from the area and stretchers are brought into view as we cut elsewhere.
Winter Mae: What in the Hell is this kid up too?
Kyle Cassidy: I have no idea, but whatever it is, it’s not going to be good.I
It isn’t that long until the locker room door opens up. Standing in the doorway was Diamond’s half-sister Sapphire Taylor. The Lead Guitarist for the Gem Stones just stood there with a confused look on her face as she stared at who was in front of her.
Sapphire Taylor: Bloody hell what do you want?!
In the background where we hear her sibling Ruby Steele call out to her in return.
Ruby Steele: Who is that at the door?! Did Kate return with the pancakes?! She promised that she would get us some so we can see why maple syrup is such a big deal in Canada.
Sapphire Taylor: No it’s not her. It’s just some git. Can I help you with something?! You shouldn’t knock on the locker room door of the hottest all girls punk pop band unless you need something. We could have been getting changed or something else.
Gutiérrez raises his hands up defensively.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Woah, señorita… that’s why I knocked first. My name is Eduardo Gutiérrez and you are Sapphire Taylor, right? From Diamond and The Gemstones? Man, I am such a huge fan of your band!
Sapphire gets upset as she begins to stomp her feet.
Sapphire Taylor: It’s just the GEM STONES! Despite what my sister might think there is no DIAMOND and the Gemstones… We are all just the Gemstones!
It is at this moment that the drummer of the group Emerald McAdams walks towards the door. She places a hand on Sapphire’s shoulder as she looks over at the fan.

MATCH #3: BIANCA PAGE VS RICKY RODRIGUEZ ©
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
The crowd is electric as Ricky and Bianca stand in the center of the ring, champion and challenger ready to square off. Ricky's determined expression and Bianca's focused gaze lock in anticipation. Ricky lives up to his reputation by storming the gates, charging at Bianca with a leaping calf kick, but she sidesteps and Ricky crashes to the canvas. Bianca capitalizes on Ricky's overzealousness, quickly transitioning into a snap DDT. She goes for an early pin, but Ricky kicks out at two.
Both Bianca and Ricky go back and forth for a good five minutes, exchanging moves in an impressive chain wrestling clinic, countering and evading suplexes, DDTs, kicks and strikes. Finally, the challenger is able to break the stalemate.
She manages to lock Ricky in a Crossface Chicken Wing. Ricky struggles but refuses to give in. He manages to counter, escaping Bianca’s grip enough to run up the opposing turnbuckle and executes an impressive Tornado DDT out of nowhere. The crowd erupts as Ricky seizes the moment, flipping side neckbreaker, following it with a beautiful standing shooting star press.
Ricky continues the onslaught, attempting a Double Knee Armbreaker, but Bianca reverses into a Tiger Suplex, bridging into a pin but Ricky kicks out at two! Bianca doesn’t let up and keeps up her momentum by pulling Ricky up and nails him with a hard discus clothesline before ascending the turnbuckle, hopping up and attempting a Best Moonsault Ever. However, at the very last moment, Ricky brings his knees up, and Bianca crashes rib-first.
Ricky uses the reprieve to summon a second wind and sprints at Bianca who has sat up and drills her with Spirit Evolution connecting with pinpoint accuracy. He then transitions into Reflection, locking Bianca in the Rings of Saturn. The agony on Bianca's face is evident as she has no choice but to tap out.
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, via submission…and STILL Zion Wrestling INTERNET! CHAMPION!...RICKY! RODRIGUEZ!
Winter Mae: Ricky Rodriguez wins this one, and now ties for the most defenses as Internet Champion!
Kyle Cassidy: He’s been fighting hard, the effects are starting to show! Congrats to Ricky!
Ricky attempts to celebrate, but just then Jack Morrison once again rushes the ring, nailing Ricky over the head with Dear Boss!
Winter Mae: This guy again?! What the hell is he doing?!
Kyle Cassidy: Once again seemingly attacking Ricky Rodriguez for no reason! Where’s security when you need em?!
Morrison quickly rolls out of the ring, shrugging his way up the ramp as we fade.
RESULT: SUBMISSION (REFLECTION)
In the locker room, shortly before the next match in the Queen of Strong Style tournament, stablemates turned one time foes Lién Kamiya and Akira Fujimoto are in their ring gear, relaxing and passing the minutes before they compete. Lién's message tone goes off and she looks at her phone screen with a frown. At the back of the room, Akira looks up at her from her own phone and smiles softly, before Lién turns her head and flashes her an angry glare.
Liên Kamiya: "Stop sending me that shit."
KAMIKAZE: "Whaaaaaaat?"
Akira responds in an innocent tone, smiling nicely and batting her eyelashes.
Liên Kamiya: "THIS!"
Lién gets up from her chair and matches over to her partner, holding her phone in front of her face. The most recent message reading "Only six more minutes until you dieeeee! ^_^". It wasn't a one off either, she'd sent over fifty similar messages just in the time that Mayhem had begun.
KAMIKAZE: "I'm only playing Lién! I'm not gonna actually kill you, I'm just gonna belt you up a bit."
Lién's eye twitches. She heads to her locker and locks her phone away, as a serious expression forms on her face.
Liên Kamiya: "Don't underestimate me…"
KAMIKAZE: "Huh?"
Liên Kamiya: "You're going into this fight awful confident, Kaze. Overconfident if you ask me. You should know better than anyone what I'm capable of… what I can do to people."
Akira gets up from her chair and marches over to her tag partner, planting her hands firmly on her own hips and puffing out her cheeks as she looks at her.
KAMIKAZE: "Whatcha gonna do, huh? You gonna hurt me?"
Liên Kamiya: "If I have to, yes."
Akira tilts her head to the side, her eyes opening wide.
KAMIKAZE: "I'll hurt you, Lién. Whether I have to or not."
Lién narrows her gaze as the silence between them says more than any words could. Suddenly, Lién raises her fist and motions to throw it, as Akira immediately steps back and brings her arms up to shield her face.
Liên Kamiya: "Hah! Made you flinch!"
KAMIKAZE: "Grrrrrrrrrr… THAT'S NOT FUNNY, LIÉN!"
Akira lunges at her tag partner and is left growling while flailing her arms to no avail as her partner holds her at arm's length away with a palm on her forehead.
Liên Kamiya: "Settle. Save it for the ring, where the referee can save you when I've got you tapping out."
KAMIKAZE: "Shut up! If anyone's gonna need saving, it's you!"
Liên Kamiya: "Yeah, yeah. I suggest you get your head in the game before I knock it off your shoulders."
Lién lets go and walks off, with a soft smirk on her face having accomplished her goal of getting Akira flustered. Akira huffs loudly and crosses her arms as the scene fades out.
The hard camera had panned back to the ringside area after the previous segment, the crowd waiting eagerly to see what was going to be happening next on the broadcast. The sounds of chainsaws filled the arena before an upbeat type music has broken out in the arena as if the music came from the opening of an anime. 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗪 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗗 by 𝗩𝗔𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗬 played through the arena speakers with the vocals soon kicking in along with the music. The lights in the arena flashed between crimson red and a sapphire blue. Moments passed and Akane Yamashita had stepped out onto the stage, a bright smile on her face as she had waved out to the crowd, running a hand through her hair. She raised one of her hands, closing the fourth finger on her hand then pointed her hand out to the people, holding the pose for a few moments before she walked down to the ring, going a little bit slow on the ramp so that she could touch some of the hands of the fans on the way down. From the end of the ramp, she ran towards the ring and slipped under the bottom rope, kneeling in the center of the ring then went over to grab a microphone. She paused for a moment, holding the microphone up in the air before bringing it to her mouth.
𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐄: “Good evening, Canada! I know you're eager to keep watching the amazing action that you've seen so far tonight, but I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the future! Soon, I'm going to be competing against Risa Saito to see who will be able to compete for the Queen of Strong Style Championship. Firstly, I would be lying if I said this was what I'd say I'm the best at. I've never claimed to be amazing at striking or this Strong Style. Everyone here knows that my specialty is the hardcore aspect. The Deathmatches, the First Blood matches, that's my playground, I'm the Masochist Genius! But, I'm very prepared for everything that Risa Saito can throw at me. I've watched your career while I was still just learning how to wrestle, so I'm very honored to be able to meet you in this ring and show you that you've helped me decide things about myself. I am…a little disappointed, however.”
Taking a second to pause, Akane looked around the arena to see the fans. Not a second went by when they were quiet, it was nice to see a crowd that was always engaged with the people in the ring, even if it was just a promo. The chants of 'Masochist' and the cheering had taken Akane off guard, knowing the past and how she usually acted like the bad guy, but she wasn't going to complain too much.
𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐄: “What I am disappointed about, is with all honestly, I expected to be facing Nami Megumi once again in this tournament. Things haven't been going that well for her recently, and I'd LOOOOOVE to take all of the credit for that, but even before I came around, things began to decline for our little friend. I predicted this, though. I told her, right in her eyes, that she wasn't her old self anymore. I'm just…disappointed that she's been proving me right so far. I don't mean this to disvalue Megumi, but I think that the First Blood match took a lot out of her, and she is even more different than she was before. But! Now I will get back to the matter at hand! Risa Saito, get ready to come face to face with a prodigy like the Masochist Genius. I hope you can swim, because it's time for a….”
𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐃, 𝐈𝐍 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐄: “BLOOD SHOWER!!”
But “STARS” Original by Stardom cut their off as the crowd goes wild as Nami Megumi enter the arena as she stares at Akane Yamashita as clearly that Nami Megumi is not like what she hear earlier as she is heading to the ring with the microphone in her hand as she wear just her casual look with her black shirts and black shorts as she entering the ring and she stares at Akane once again before she approach her as her theme slowly fade away.
NAMI: Why you not focus on your thing and keep my name back in your mouth, huh? Is that not satisfying you enough, huh? I know deep down in your heart you want me to get eliminated and why didn't I know you didn't want to laugh at me about it? Yeah… I accept my failure already and I can't fix it… I continue deep down to it and you're going to humiliate me on live tv, really? In the place that I try to make it be a great brand for so long and until you come here? But yeah I accept you are right about me. You know me really well and you know me more than myself already now but you should give credit to Risa more than this because she is always better than me. Risa is the world champion from the other promotions and I guess you didn't even know it, right?
Nami cracked a smile as she grabbed Akane's chin and lifts her head a bit as Nami stares right into Akane's eyes.
Akane rolled her eyes where she then immediately moved herself back just to get the hand off of her face. She paced around the ring for a few seconds, looking down at the mat then looked over at Nami with a bland look on her face, clearly not amused by the words that she said.
𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐄: “I really don't appreciate your false claims of not keeping up with who I'm going to be facing. I do hours, even days of finding things about my opponents to see what I can do against them to better my offense and understanding of them. I know a hell of a lot about Risa Saito, if you'd clean all of that shit out of your ears you'd hear that I quite literally said that I feel nothing but honored to be in the ring with her. So, maybe actually watch and listen to what's going on before you come out here to interrupt people. Everything could've been left how it was last week, you know. Me and you ending things on a good page until the next time we have to face each other. Nice to know that can only last one week because you have the biggest mouth on this entire roster, both Mayhem and Fusion combined!”
Akane kept her eyes on Megumi, her back leaning against the corner for a few moments until she walked back to the center of the ring right in front of the smaller girl.
𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐄: “I really suggest that you keep your nose where it belongs, because next time I really don't plan on being this nice about it. We had the big match, so let it go. This is just you trying to drag this on, all because YOU couldn't beat Risa Saito, and that's really not my problem. You can find your old self without dragging me down to your level, you know. I'll leave you with this, then. If you want to keep being able to get out of bed to be able to do things with your wife, you're going to stay out of my way from now on. Got it? Good.”
Akane had dropped her microphone, walking past Nami as she pretended to walk through the ropes. When she saw the smaller girl turn around, Akane rushed back into the ring and threw a Lariat right to the back of Nami's head! She watched the body fall to the mat, looking around the arena with the sea of boos, just shaking her head and moved her hair away from her face. She grabbed Megumi by the hair, lifting her up as she wrapped her arms around the back of her head, bending her body downward before swinging her own body down, planting Nami's head right into the mat with a Blood Shower. Akane sat on the mat, looking at the body of Nami for a moment but rolled out of the ring when medical staff had rushed to the ring to see if she was okay. Akane left the situation as the focus went to the medical people were trying to help Nami back to her feet.
MATCH #4: LIEN KAMIYA VS AKIRA FUJIMOTO
QoSS TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH
The match begins with Lien and Akira circling each other cautiously, aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses. Lien starts with a series of quick kicks and European uppercuts, trying to maintain control. Akira counters with a snap DDT, surprising Lien with the suddenness of the move.
As the match progresses, Lien showcases her fundamental wrestling skills with a bridging Northern Lights suplex, earning a close two-count. Akira, demonstrating her high pain tolerance, takes the punishment and responds with a hesitation dropkick, sending Lien reeling into the ropes. Both wrestlers exchange kick combinations and strikes, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.
Lien gains momentum with a heel hook, attempting to disorientate her opponent. However, Akira's resilience is evident as she manages to reach the ropes, forcing a break. Akira doesn't shy away from taking risks, and she goes for an Asai moonsault, but Lien cleverly counters with a missile dropkick in mid-air, temporarily stunning Akira.
The two go back and forth again, throwing strike after strike, each taking turns connecting, blocking and countering.
Akira attempts her Kamikaze Driver, but Lien counters into a Dragon Whip. Just when it seems like Lien is about to secure the victory, Aubrienna Powers makes a surprise appearance, springing to the ring and shooting under the bottom rope. She makes a beeline for Lien and floors her hard with a straight right hand. The referee calls for the disqualification, awarding the match to Lien as the fans boo in displeasure at the match’s sudden end and outcome.
Winter Mae: Aw, what the hell?!
Kyle Cassidy: Trinity once again being a thorne in Hebi No Rengo’s side!
Powers is immediately intercepted by Akira Fujimoto, who begins to go back and forth with her in strikes! Valentina Skye quickly comes to the ring to join the fight with the odds now being two-on-two! Hebi No Rengo quickly gains the upper hand, with Hayumi Yamamoto rushing down to the ring and fighting off Powers and Skye! Hebi No Rengo stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: DISQUALIFICATION
MATCH #5: DINAH WOLFE VS ZACHARY PORTER VS WILLA STONEHEART
UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER’S TRIPLE THREAT
The bell rings, and the triple-threat match is underway. Porter, Wolfe, and Stoneheart circle each other, eyeing their opponents. Porter decides to make the first move. He charges at Wolfe, attempting a knife-edge chop, but Wolfe quickly ducks and counters with a spinning heel kick that sends Porter reeling.
Wolfe capitalizes on her athleticism, unleashing a flurry of kicks and strikes on Porter and Stoneheart. Her flexibility allows her to execute a breathtaking springboard moonsault onto Porter, who's on the mat. Stoneheart sees her chance and delivers some mudhole stomps to Wolfe. As Wolfe makes her way back to her feet, Stoneheart takes her down with a Thesz press, taking her down to the canvas.
With Wolfe grounded, Stoneheart maintains her relentless offense. She targets Wolfe's arm, executing vicious joint manipulation and strikes. Meanwhile, Porter recovers and surprises Stoneheart with the Porter’s House sit-out facebuster. With Stoneheart momentarily stunned, Porter goes for the cover, but Wolfe breaks it up just in time.
The action intensifies as Wolfe showcases her courageous spirit, fighting back with a double leg suplex on Porter. Stoneheart, not one to be outdone, hits Wolfe with a spinebuster. However, Porter seizes the opportunity to recover from the double leg suplex and delivers a German suplex to Stoneheart, bridging into a pin but she’s able to kick out at two.
As the match continues to progress, the three competitors showcase their unique styles. Stoneheart unleashes "Insatiable", hitting Wolfe with a ripcord powerslam, but Porter breaks the subsequent pinfall attempt. Wolfe, desperate to make a statement, shoots off the ropes for extra momentum and connects with her "Flight of the Mór-Ríoghain" diving axe kick on Stoneheart. She goes for the cover, but Porter intervenes once again.
All three competitors are exhausted but determined. Porter ascends to the top rope, looking to hit his "Paradise Lost" top rope double foot stomp, on Wolfe. However, Stoneheart quickly scales the turnbuckle from the opposite corner. In a stunning sequence, Porter and Stoneheart simultaneously execute their finishers on Wolfe, both trying to hit their respective finishers first. Both of them hook one of Wolfe’s legs as the referee counts:
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Winter Mae: What the hell?! Who wins this match?!
Kyle Cassidy: I have no idea, Winter! But either way, we need a contender and fast! Invasion: Toronto isn’t that far off!
Stoneheart and Porter begin to argue over the result of this match as we fade!
RESULT: DOUBLE PINFALL)
The camera fades into backstage where we can see Robert Oakley, Endurance Championship over his shoulder, standing next to his tag partner Kelly Taylor, and backstage interviewer Tommy Green.
Tommy Green: ”Ladies and Gentlemen, Tommy Green here with our Endurance Champion, Robert Oakley. Now Rob, I just have a couple of questions for you tonight. My first one involves your recent social media interactions with one Sean Parker. Care to comment on that?”
Robert looks at the ground and chuckles, before bringing his head up and speaking into the microphone held by Tommy.
Robert Oakley: ”Yeah, Tommy. I do. You see I have a problem around these parts. I have a queue of people that seem to think they can just waltz in here and demand a title shot from me, that think that they are OWED a title shot from me. I have to make it crystal clear, because after Griffin Hawkins seemed to believe he was owed a championship match against me, it opened up the floodgates of people seemingly thinking they’re owed something from me… I just won’t stand for it, because I deserve better than a bunch of drunken clowns or flippy shit backyarders thinking they’re owed something from me… and it’s as simple as this, Tommy. I owe absolutely nobody anything. If they want a title shot against me? They have to earn it.”
Entering into the fray of the scenery was the woman challenging Robert Oakley later in the main event for the Zion Wrestling Endurance Championship, Serenity Holmes. She walked into the conversation with a confident posture and offensive stance in her demeanor but looks over to Robert Oakley and Tommy Green. The audience viewing from the interior of the venue are happy to see the young lion make her presence known especially after the street fight with Bianca Page at Battleborn.
Serenity Holmes: ”Sorry to interrupt the love fest going on here Tommy but I wanted to speak with our “fighting” Endurance Champion before our main event. Hello Robert, I know we haven’t met and got off on the wrong foot but that was the plan all along. I’ve been watching you for a minute even when I had to deal with Bianca Page and her madness but I’ve watched you very closely especially at Battleborn. I figured since I won my Street Fight with Bianca Page, this would be the perfect time to call you out.”
Robert looks amused at her words for a moment, looking to the ground with a smile before snapping his head back in her general direction.
Robert Oakley: ”You ‘figured’? Oh, well isn’t that just so goddamn enlightening, Serenity. That you just so happen to figure that because you won a match against some bimbo you can waltz into my domain and take the title I worked my ass off for? Let me guess… you ALSO think that you don’t need to do anything more to earn a shot against me, who am I kidding, you just saying words to me on twitter was apparently enough for whoever the hell is running this place! You didn’t EARN anything… and you sure as hell won’t be earning my respect… or taking my title because of it.”
Serenity turns her black studded hat around and slowly steps into the pocket with Robert looking up at him into his eyes.
Serenity Holmes: ”Let me make myself perfectly clear, Mr. RK-Oakley. I’ve been watching you. You beat Griffin Hawkins at Battleborn but there were numerous times he had your number but you won. Congratulations, you defended the Endurance Championship after playing cat and mouse with it but it’s not going to happen this time. I earned my shot after what I endured here in Zion Wrestling and Ms. Lopez thinks the same. I know you think differently but I don’t care what you think. No one does. All we care about is watching you fall in the main event tonight because I will be the new Zion Wrestling Endurance Champion!
Voice: Are you actually having a giraffe?!
Both Serenity and Robert’s attentions are directed to a voice off-camera and a moment later, Sean Parker walks into frame, his face etched in a mocking smile of frustration.
Sean Parker: “First of all, Robby lad, you were the one that decided to get into my face last week during my interview time. I declared my intent to challenge for a title here in Zion because, quite frankly, with what I’ve done so far, I think I deserve to at least be in a conversation.”
Sean turns his gaze to Serenity, looking her up and down.
Sean Parker: “And you, Serenity? What makes you think your win over Bianca Page is more deserving of a title match than my victory over Jack Morrison? Don’t get me wrong, that was a helluva match and you have my respect for what you did and getting that win. But I literally went through hell to get my win. Morrison practically put me through his own gauntlet these past few weeks, until I finally shut him down and proved I’m not just some high-flying gymnast wannabe. I’m the real fucking deal and I’m just as deserving of a championship opportunity as you!”
Robert Oakley: ”Oh, oh you went through hell did you? Let me ask you this then, Sean. Did you have your job threatened if you didn’t get a victory? Did you? Did you get told if you didn’t win a title in this company you wouldn’t have a job anymore?”
Robert snatches the mic from Tommy and Tommy leaves the frame, he turns his attention back to the pair of them.
Robert Oakley: ”No. You know who did? Idid... I had my very fucking livelyhood threatened if I hadn’t won the title that’s over my friends shoulder right now…”
He points to the Fighting Spirit title over the shoulder of Kelly Taylor.
Robert Oakley: ”...which is why it infuriates me that the two of you think you are entitled to a championship match just because you think you ‘went through hell’... the pair of you haven’t done anything to earn a shot against me, or for my championship. I told you both, I do not just give away championship matches to anyone but clearly no one around here gets the fucking memo.”
Sean Parker: “Oh blah, blah, blah, Rob! Cry me a fucking river and change the goddamn record mate! We get it! You had to fight tooth and nail to get to where you are! You had to scratch and claw! Newsflash, Dicksplash! We’ve all had to fight tooth and nail! We’ve all had to scratch and claw to get to where we are! I told you already, you want me to humor you and your stupid gauntlet to prove myself? I’ll do it and I’ll bulldoze through every person on Mayhem if I have to!”
Serenity inserts herself in between the two men despite them having the significant height advantage over her.
Serenity Holmes: ”Okay enough! Clearly you two have relationship issues you both need to work out. Go seek a dating therapist or something but Sean, congratulations on your victory against Jack Morrison but I’ve been screwed out of championship opportunities the moment I stepped foot into Zion Wrestling! Yeah, I’m tired of being pushed to the sidelines when I have the talent and ability to be a better champion than you, Robert.”
She looks back and forth between both men then stares at the Endurance Championship belt.
Serenity Holmes: ”That Endurance Championship is the prize we all want and I’m not focused on what the past is. The present is now and I’m damn sure walking out as the new Endurance Champion. Sean, you can watch how the job is actually done and Robert, don’t worry, in case you still have a job after this, I’ll pay you out of my own pocket.”
Rob again feigns a laugh, before turning that off and switching. His eyes cold and his face emotionless as he looks at the two of them.
Robert Oakley: ”Here’s some present facts for you then, seeing as that is all you are focused on. Fact. I am undefeated in Endurance Rules Matches. Fact. I am the last of the dying breed from breakthru. Fact. I am the last champion from that era. Elijah lost the world title to Kasey Kash, Mai lost the television title to Morgana. I am the final pillar of that forgotten brand. Fact… you two are not on my level.”
Rob looks between the two standing in front of him.
Robert Oakley: ”So we can all stand here and have a dick measuring contest all we want, but when push comes to shove neither of you can compare to what I bring to the wrestling industry. Neither of you can match what I bring to the table to Zion. Neither of you are worth my fucking time… anyone else have something they want to add?”
Serenity pushes Sean aside and gets into the face of Robert letting her emotions get the better of her. She starts yelling at the top of her voice.
Serenity Holmes: ”Okay! How about you show me I’m not on your level right now?!”
Sean puts his hand on Serenity’s shoulder and pulls her, not aggressively but not gently either, aside and gets in her face.
Sean Parker: “Listen baseball cap, you think can just stomp your way into a fucking title match? So you’ve been screwed out of title matches before? Let me get my violin out! I got screwed over by Jack Morrison three weeks ago, I got screwed when I was 16 and ended up breaking my fucking back in the middle of the ring but do you see me crying and bitching about it? No! You know what? I hope you beat this…”
Sean gestures to Robert without looking at him, his eyes still fixed on Serenity.
Sean Parker: “… bellend, because you and I are gonna have a big fucking problem real fucking quick!”
Serenity turns into Sean’s face and goes nose to nose with him. She looks right into his eyes and is ready for a fight.
Serenity Holmes: ”Oh trust me, I will beat this piece of shit but I promise you when this is over, I’ll put your ass down and make sure you don’t have a spine to stand on.”
Sean doesn’t back down, not even remotely intimidated by Serenity’s threat.
Sean Parker: “Like I said before, I don’t give a fuck if it’s you or Forked Tongue over there, I’m coming for that Endurance Championship. You can put the entire Mayhem and Fusion rosters in front of me and it won’t stop me from getting that title because I’m ready to run through everyone, are you?!”
Robert, watching on as the two of them switch their focus to each other with a sadistic grin on his face, taps Kelly on the chest before the pair then slink into the background, their disappearance going unnoticed by Serenity or Sean. Serenity, on the other hand, has her attention fully focused on Sean after approaching him in his personal space.
Serenity Holmes: ”I’ve run through everyone before and I’ll do it again. Sean, it doesn’t matter to me because you’re all the same, another person in the way and someone who wants what I’m going to get but when I win the Endurance Championship, you’ll get the first shot as charity.”
Sean scoffs, a wry smile crossing his face.
Sean Parker: “Charity? Fuck off, I’m not anyone’s charity case, hen! You think I’m the same as everyone else? That’s where you’re wrong! I’m not like anyone you’ve ever come across before and that isn’t just some bullshit catchphrase! If you win tonight, I guarantee you, it’ll be the shortest title reign in Zion Wrestling history! It’ll be more embarrassing than lying drunk in a puddle of your own vomit!”
She didn’t know what to say after that statement but Serenity yelled out in seething rage until launching herself into Sean igniting a brawl between the two. Tommy shuffles out of the way and waves for nearby security and official personnel to jump into the situation that’s spiraling out of control. The two engaged in the brawl are going at it until being separated from the situation.
