The opening of the FUSION has Amy Porter standing backstage waiting by the door the wrestlers use to enter the arena on show day. Doesn’t take long for the door to swing open. It’s ISIS. Amy immediately blocks her path to slow down the God of Destruction’s momentum. ISIS glares at the easily excitable interviewer. Amy takes a step back. ISIS cocks her head to the side. No time for Amy to give into her nervousness.
Amy Porter: ISIS. Can I get a quick word?
ISIS continues to stare at Amy. With a resigned sigh she gives Amy an answer to her first question.
ISIS: Sure.
Amy smiles, moreso because ISIS didn’t rip her head off and she is going to get to ask what is on the minds of Zion Wrestling fans.
Amy Porter: Last week, Maki was taken away to an unknown location by Yukiko of the Queens of Chaos. A couple of days ago on Mayhem, footage was shown of Yukiko taunting you. Questioning your Godhood. Taking delight in whatever she is doing to your Archangel. What is your response to recent events?
ISIS pauses a moment, not immediately reacting to Amy’s question. She rests her hands on her hips, her facial expression not giving away whatever the self professed God may be feeling on the inside.
ISIS: “It was expected Jessi would find a way to avenge the devastating assault that happened to her girlfriend. I would be disappointed if Jessi didn’t formulate some plan.”
“Am I worried about what Yukiko has put Maki through? No. Anyone who is part of Genesis of Destruction is capable of handling themselves. Fate puts us through trials to test our resolve. Maki will only evolve into a stronger, fiercer warrior through this experience. Could I have searched heaven and earth to find my Archangel? Perhaps. I will hold no one's hand. No one has ever held mine. I don’t intend to instill weakness in my house.”
“However, that doesn’t mean I am going to turn the other cheek. At the end of the day, the Queens of Chaos choose to challenge a God. It was sweet of Yukiko to allow Jessi the honor of dealing with me directly, once Maki is free, I will leave Maki to slay the devil.”
“Jessi on the other hand, since this was her plan Amy, it’s only natural I fire the next shot.”
Amy Porter: “How?”
ISIS pats Amy on the head.
ISIS: “You’ll see.”
ISIS walks off leaving Amy and the fans to ponder what ISIS has planned as the scene fades to black.
In the backstage area, Thotline Miami are watching a recording of their match from two weeks ago. They collectively shake their heads watching Kasey Kash roll up Cindy Collins for the pinfall, even though Taylor Gibson was the legal girl. With a soft growl, Taylor turns the television off.
Cindy Collins: "You know what actually stings the most about the other week?"
Taylor Gibson: "I dunno, tell me."
Cindy Collins: "It's that those D.R.E.A.M. boys are actually good, right? And they probably had, I dunno, like a thirty percent chance to beat us legit? Which is twenty percent more than most teams have."
Taylor Gibson: "Right, yeah."
Cindy Collins: "So they throw away their thirty percent chance of getting a real win just so they can get a fake one! Like how sad can you even be?"
Taylor Gibson: "I dunno. I didn't think they were the type of team to be satisfied with getting a win like that. But I guess… strangerrrr thingsss have happennned."
Cindy looks at Taylor, with a deadpan expression.
Taylor Gibson: "Either way, I'm sick of these clowns. Sick of people thinking they beat us too."
Cindy Collins: "We won't need to worry about that soon, Taylor. We'll beat them decisively and definitively. If they think they can pull those kinds of shenanigans again then they really are dreaming."
Taylor Gibson: "Well that dream ends tonight. It's time for them to wake up and face reality."
Taylor turns around, revealing W.A.K.E.U.P. stitched into the back of her jacket. Cindy gives a soft nod before walking with her as the scene fades.
OPENING CONTEST: THOTLINE MIAMI VS D.R.E.A.M.
Darrion Hughes: The following tag team contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…from Miami, Florida…at a combined weight of 222 lbs…Taylor Gibson and Cindy Collins…Thotline! Miami!
And their opponents…at a combined weight of 450 lbs…Nicky Crawford and Kasey Kash…D.R.E.A.M.!!
Amber Westgate: Thotline Miami looking to rectify a major loss a couple of weeks ago, caused by some rather shoddy officiating!
Adam LaRue: Yeah, well we know that the officials here in Zion aren’t all too bright, but I have to say that a mistake of this magnitude is inexcusable!
Amber Westgate: Taking a look at this replay here, we can see that Kasey Kash got the pin on Cindy Collins! Collins however, was not the legal competitor at this point in the match!
Adam LaRue: A huge, and frankly undeserved loss by Thotline Miami! Let’s see if they can rectify that tonight!
Cindy Collins and Kasey Kash start this match off for their teams, undoubtedly not a coincidence given the ending to their last match! The two lock up in the center of the ring. While Kash is known to be a lot better technically than he lets on, he’s still outmatched by Collins in that department, especially in the power game! She displays this quickly as she gets Kash into a tight Waistlock, before taking to the mat with a Shoot Throw! She quickly grapples him on the ground, cinching in a Waistlock again to the seated Kash! This time, he’s able to power his way out, slowly and steadily prying Collins’ hands apart before quickly transitioning into a Side Headlock! Collins is able to reverse this however, getting Kash up and dropping him with Back Suplex! Always one to show up, Collins kips up after the move, getting a huge ovation from the crowd!
She quickly makes her way over to her corner, tagging in Taylor Gibson! She makes her way to the top rope before stepping into Collins’ shoulders! The two make their way over to Kash’s prone body, with Gibson looking to dive onto him with a Senton! But Kash gets the knees up, driving right into Gibson’s spine before quickly taking advantage with a Crucifix Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Collins! Her and Kash quickly make it to their feet, with each of them looking to get the jump on the other! Kash looks for Lariat, but Gibson rushes underneath it! She goes for the ropes, jumping off the second rope and looking for a Springboard Crossbody! It seems to be effective, though only momentarily, with Kash rolling through and pulling himself to his feet with Gibson in his arms! He props her up onto his shoulders, before dropping her with a Death Valley Driver! Kash takes to the corner, tagging in Nicky Crawford before instructing him to go to the top rope! Kash hits the ropes, before nailing Gibson with a Leg Drop! He then gets out of the way, with Crawford diving off the top and going for a Leg Drop of his own! Pin by Crawford!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Gibson! Crawford pulls Gibson to her feet, pushing her back into the corner with a European Uppercut! He mounts the second rope now, raining down strikes to the top of her head as the crowd chants along! Gibson doesn’t take this lying down for too long however, getting herself out of the corner before pulling Crawford down from the second turnbuckle! Crawford’s head collides with the top turnbuckle, with Gibson taking advantage by coaxing him into a Backslide Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kick out by Crawford! Gibson looks to finish this off, waiting in the corner for Crawford to get to his feet so that she can hit the Superkick! But Kash starts to move towards her on the apron, prompting her to change her sights to him and nail him with a Roundhouse Kick to send him off instead! This distraction proves beneficial for Crawford, who grabs Gibson from behind and pulls her into an O’Connor Roll!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Gibson reverses the pin, fully rolling it into an O’Connor Roll of her own! In the heat of the moment, she hooks her arm around the middle rope, with the referee not seeing it!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winners of this match…Thotline! Miami!
Amber Westgate: Thotline Miami gets the win, however, I don’t think D.R.E.A.M. will find the method to be to their liking!
Adam LaRue: Eye for an eye seems to be the motif for Thotline Miami this time around! If the referee was willing to turn a blind eye to the wrong competitor being pinned, a result like this is hardly surprising!
Gibson and Collins roll out of the ring and back up the ramp, seemingly as carefree about the way they won this match as Kash and Crawford were a couple of weeks back! However, things change in a hurry when the two are taken down from behind! The culprits being the same man and woman pairing that we’ve seen infiltrate the shows for weeks now!
Amber Westgate: These two just don’t know the meaning of the word quit, do they?!
Adam LaRue: Or the word jail, either, it seems! These two show up causing chaos every week without a care in the world it seems!
The two continue to beat down Gibson and Collins! This time, however, security finally do their jobs and get the pair in handcuffs.
Amber Westgate: Finally!
Adam LaRue: Took security weeks, but they actually managed to catch em! Guess that’s the last we’ll of those two!
The pair are carried off as we fade!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…from Miami, Florida…at a combined weight of 222 lbs…Taylor Gibson and Cindy Collins…Thotline! Miami!

Amber Westgate: Taking a look at this replay here, we can see that Kasey Kash got the pin on Cindy Collins! Collins however, was not the legal competitor at this point in the match!
The climax of the match was a thrilling crescendo of chaos. Bodies flew through the air, and it became increasingly difficult for the referee to maintain control. In the midst of the frenzy, Kasey Kash managed to secure a controversial roll up over Collins, who was not the legal competitor. The referee counted to three, and the bell rang, declaring D.R.E.A.M. the victors.
Adam LaRue: A huge, and frankly undeserved loss by Thotline Miami! Let’s see if they can rectify that tonight!

Fusion cuts backstage to find Alexis Lemon. Lexi is dressed for her upcoming match with headphones over her head. She’s pacing back and forth with a sour look on her face. And not just because her name is Lemon. She paces for a few moments before suddenly turning to the camera
Alexis Lemon: So last week, I said that I was going to prove why I deserve to be here. I said that, win or lose, I’m one of the best wrestlers on the Zion Wrestling roster.
A short, frustrated, almost crazed laugh escapes the witch
Alexis Lemon: Well how the FUCK am I supposed to do that when I’m picking up wins thanks to outside interference?? Look, I don’t want to come off as ungrateful. I appreciate every win I get. But I’m never going to prove what I’m trying to prove if I keep winning thanks to incompetent zebras or someone getting involved!
Lexi finally stops to take a breath. A few deep breaths later, she carries on.
Alexis Lemon: Look, I’m going to say this just once more. This is for everyone. For anyone with beef with my opponents, for the Queens of Chaos, even for my own wife even though I know she wouldn’t do that. I don’t need help. If you want to fight whoever I’m facing, wait for the bell to ring. Leave me out of whatever you got going on. Let the match go on. In case you never noticed, they’ll probably be easier to beat if you let them go through an entire match first. You could add injury to insult by beating them after they already took an L! Not that I condone that, of course, but I’m just saying! Use that smooth brain of yours for once in your life! So just chill the fuck out and let me do my thing. Cool? Cool. Moving on!
Lexi drops her headphones down around her neck and takes one more deep breath.
Alexis Lemon: I guess I have to talk about my opponent now. Because seemingly everyone else and their mother has. Look, I don’t overlook or underestimate any of my opponents. But I seriously hope Sabrina Hathaway is worth the hype. Because if everyone in this company is gassing her up and she turns out to not be worth it, I’m gonna have to seriously reconsider some things!
She smirks
Alexis Lemon: Just kidding.
She shifts her eyes.
Alexis Lemon: Maybe. I’ll see you out there.
She puts her headphones back on her head and walks out of shot.
We open in a hotel room in Ontario, Canada. Ontario plays host to another edition of Fusion and currently the psychotic, deranged, and yet oh so loveable Kimberly Williams is getting ready for the day, a day that will no doubt bring action to her front door. Unfortunately, she has no idea how literal that statement is. The Woman Scorned is currently standing in front of a mirror taking appraisal of herself; she is wearing torn denim jeans, flip flops, and a black “Queens of Chaos” t-shirt. A happy-go-lucky grin is on her face. Williams then turns around to face the Queen sized bed. Resting on the bed are several items; her stuffed penguin toy Wasley, as well as her three championship belts…the SCW Underground Title belt, the HKW Bloodlust Title belt, and her newly acquired Zion Hardcore Title belt. Kim skips happily towards the bed.
Kimberly Williams: I am never going to let any of you go! Ever!
She lifts up the Hardcore title belt and cradles it closely to her chest.
Kimberly Williams: Especially not you! I would never EVER throw you in the garbage! Never! And I won’t let anyone disrespect you again! I will…
Her ranting is interrupted when she hears a knocking at the door. The Woman Scorned furrows her brow out of curiosity. She certainly wasn’t expecting anyone today, especially not this early in the morning. The knocking is heard again, this time more urgently. Kim shrugs and approaches the door to her hotel room. She opens it and finds a short pizza hut delivery guy standing there before her with a box of pizza in his hand.
Ricky B. Sharpe: Your pizza is here, ma’am.
Kimberly Williams: Ricky?
Ricky B. Sharpe: Ricky? No, no, no, ma’am. Not Ricky…my name, is, uh, Mickey! Yeah!
Kimberly Williams: Like Mickey Mouse?
Ricky B. Sharpe: Yeah!
Williams chuckles softly.
Kimberly Williams: Do you think I’m dumb? A couple years ago when I announced that I would put the Sanctioned Lizard Unsanctioned Title on the line twenty four seven, you tried this same damn trick. You tried to ambush me with a fake pizza delivery. Do you really think I would fall for it again? Hell, I didn’t even fall for it the first time. I knew it was a setup because you gave me Pineapple Pizza.
Kim kicks the pizza box out of his hands.
Kimberly Williams: WHO THE FUCK EATS PINEAPPLE PIZZA?!
Ricky the pizza hut delivery guy gulps.
Ricky B. Sharpe: Uh…
Kimberly Williams: Anyway, what kind of pizza did you bring this time…
She leans over and picks up the box. She opens it up to find no pizza there but instead various weapons, including a lead pipe, a hammer, and some brass knucks. Kim smirks as she looks back up at Ricky.
Kimberly Williams: Awwww, how sweet! You came to play!
Ricky B. Sharpe: It wasn’t my idea! Honest!
Kimberly Williams: Sorry, kiddo. I don’t believe you.
Williams quickly snatches the pipe and takes a swing at Ricky. The pizza delivery guy is able to avoid the shot and takes off running. Kim follows him out the door only to be tackled to the ground by an older looking man, who looks similar to Ricky, but he has white hair. He covers Kim, hooking the leg…
1!
2!
Kim kicks out!
Ricky B. Sharpe: Dad?! I told you this was a bad idea!
Williams pushes herself back up and smirks as she stares at the apparent father and son duo.
Kimberly Williams: You got your old man in on this? Oh this is rich!
Ricky B. Sharpe Sr.: You got it, missy! No one humiliates my son and gets away with it!
The old man runs…or rather jogs, very slowly…towards Kim. Kim easily sticks her arm out and clotheslines the old man. Then she turns towards the son and chuckles.
Kimberly Williams: Never maimed a father and son before. I suppose there’s a first time for everything.
Ricky B. Sharpe shakes his head vehemently. He grabs his father and pulls him up. Kim makes on step towards them and immediately the father and son pizza delivery pair take off running for their lives. Williams laughs nastily.
Kimberly Williams: I have a feeling that I might not make it to Fusion. Defending the Hardcore Title twenty four seven puts a target on my back and everyone in this damn city is going to come after me. Maybe I should call off this whole twenty four seven defense thing?
She shakes her head.
Kimberly Williams: Nah…
MATCH #2: SABRINA HATHAWAY VS ALEXIS LEMON
The matchup began with “Lemon!” chants from the fans in attendance which clearly annoyed Sabrina who was pouting and walking around the ring with her hands over her ears as if she wouldn't agree to start the match until the chanting was finished. Using this to her advantage Lemon had thrown a Dropkick to the back of Hathaway, sending her out of the ring from the momentum of the kick! Lemon followed up quickly and went towards the ropes, jumping out with a Springboard Crossbody onto the body of her opponent! She yelled out to the people who cheered in response then grabbed the hair of Sabrina to throw her back into the ring where Alexis followed to go for a quick cover, an almost instant kickout from Ms. Universe. Alexis had picked up the other, Irish Whipping them into the corner then ran to follow up but Hathaway had moved which sent the body of Lemon into the corner, Sabrina trying a Rollup from behind and got a quick one count as a result of that. While Lemon rolled back to her knees, Sabrina was even quicker back to her feet and ran to Alexis where she hit a Meteora! She then got into a full mount and laid down multiple palm strikes, Alexis trying her best to cover up and was eventually able to scramble her way to the ropes.
Tuning out the booing from the audience, Sabrina got back to her feet with a look of confidence on her face which was followed by raising her arms to the crowd. She went back over to the body of Alexis, grabbing her by the hair to pick her body up off of the mat to throw a knee to the midsection, leaving her hunched over as Hathaway used this opportunity to run back to the ropes and jumped on the back of Alexis to connect with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! Sabrina kept the hold on to attempt a pinfall, Alexis kicking out halfway between one and two. Hathaway stomped down on the chest of Alexis a few times, each kick more disrespectful than the last with one of them being closer to the throat. Sabrina only cared about winning as she ran back to the ropes, jumping up on the second rope trying for a Moonsault but Alexis moved out of the way! With Hathaway face planting on the mat she got up to her feet where Alexis was able to catch her with a Running Hurricanrana! This sent Sabrina rolling into the corner with the momentum, Lemon going to the opposite corner first and ran full speed at the opponent to connect with an Enzugiri! Lemon screamed out again before running to the opposite corner once again, then sprinting back to Sabrina's now seated body to connect with a cannonball! Lemon Drop connects on Hathaway! Alexis dragged her body to the center of the ring to go for a cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Sabrina is able to kick out! She instantly rolls out of the ring to get away from Alexis, causing her to just shake her head and try to follow her to the outside. Right when she did, Hathaway slipped back into the ring and just as Lemon got on the apron Sabrina was there to hit her with a dropkick to stun her. She dragged the upper half of Lemon's body through the ropes and connected with a Hangman's DDT! Dragging the rest of the body into the ring she tried for a cover which Alexis was able to kick out at two. Not wasting any time to mess around Hathaway brought the body of Alexis to the corner as Sabrina walked towards the corner then jumped up to the second rope, then to the top, then jumped off with a Moonsault! Mark of a Matriarch connects! Another cover by Sabrina, and another kick out from Lemon! This time she smacked the mat in frustration, she was sure that the end of the match would be right there! She got back on top of Alexis, more palm strikes to the face of Lemon until Sabrina got back up, with a stomp to the chest of her opponent to keep her down for the setup of whatever was going to be coming next. She went back to the opposite corner to wait for Alexis to rise back to her feet and once she did Hathaway ran towards Alexis and threw her body right at her for Envy Killer!
Alexis connects with a Codebreaker!! She wasn't able to get into the cover right away, taking a few seconds to recover from that as the crowd exploded in her support! Alexis finally gets back to her senses, sprawling into a cover! She could only get a two count on Sabrina. The crowd went back to chanting her name. With her body full of adrenaline she got Hathaway back to a standing position where Lemon put her head under the arm of her opponent and threw her backwards to connect with a Northern Lights Suplex! Deadlights! But instead Lemon didn't go for a cover, instead going to the top rope to look for something even bigger! Sabrina stumbled back to her feet, Alexis jumped off as Hathaway moved out of the way, almost sending Lemon right into the referee! She apologized, then turned back to Sabrina who had poked her in the eye! She had turned Alexis back so that she could roll her up with a Schoolboy, clearly having a tight grip on the waistband of Lemon's gear.
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: *Here is your winner, Sabrina Hathaway!*
Adam LaRue: Oh, terrific…
Amber Westgate: Get up right now and applaud, Adam!
Adam LaRue: I will do nothing of the sort!
Amber Westgate: You are the presence of absolute greatness right now, Adam LaRue, and you’re looking very ungrateful!
Adam LaRue: So “absolute greatness” is now using tights to win a wrestling match?
Amber Westgate: She has such great awareness!
Adam LaRue: ”Great awa–” are you even listening to yourself right now?! What would have to say about this if Lemon were to pull this exact same thing?!
Amber Westgate: I’d call her a dirty cheat and have her reported to the head office, of course!
Adam LaRue: Thought so…
Alexis could be seen trying to plead with the official and telling that her gear was used as leverage, but there was nothing that they could do as the decision was final. Sabrina was seen celebrating on the ramp as the camera faded.
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)
We cut to the inside of one of the talent locker rooms, where we see Bart Ramsey getting himself ready for his match tonight. He looks all warmed up and ready to go, until there’s a sudden knock at the door. He answers it excitedly, out of a small sense of naivety admittedly, as we all know the backstage area of a Zion show can be ruthless.
Bart Ramsey: Come in!
The door opens, with the camera panning to see the person entering is none other than Bart’s younger cousin, Jessi Ozborne. She smiles sheepishly at him, seemingly trying to hold back some sorta laughter.
Jessi Ozborne: Hi…
Suddenly she breaks, with Bart laughing along with her as the two share a hug.
Jessi Ozborne: How are you feeling? Oh my god, I’m so proud of you for getting this opportunity.
Bart Ramsey: Oh, I feel fantastic, Jessica! I’ve been doing some research on my opponent tonight! Studying tape! From what I’ve seen, Gianna Rojas is one of the greatest of all time, in my opinion! But I think with all the training I’ve done, I can definitely give her a run for her money! Who knows? Maybe if I win, people will be calling me one of the greatest of all time as well!
Jessi Ozborne: Maybe. But I just want you to know, no matter how tonight goes, I think you’re one of the best. We’re Ramseys. It’s in our blood.
Bart Ramsey: Thank you so much, Jessica. It really does mean the world to hear you say that.
Jessi and Bart share another hug.
Bart Ramsey: I should get going now. My match starts very soon.
Bart tries to take off, only to be stopped by Jessi.
Jessi Ozborne: Whoa, hey, wait a sec!
Bart looks confused at his cousin as she looks to explain herself.
Jessi Ozborne: Listen, I know you’re not aware of how things work over here, but right now, “Queen” is a dirty word to some people. A lot of folks know you’re my blood, and I honestly can’t stand the thought of something happening to you because of it. I know you can handle your own, but just in case, let me come out to the ring with you tonight.
Bart’s look of confusion turns back into one of pure joy, his natural state.
Bart Ramsey: Sure! I’d love that! Who knows? Maybe you’ll get to celebrate with me if I win. Either way, I know tonight’s gonna be amazing, especially now that I know I’ll have family by my side!
The word “family” seems to spark something in Jessi. A sorta glimmer of joy. Maybe even some of Bart’s infectious happiness rubbing off on her.
Jessi Ozborne: I love ya, Bart.
Bart Ramsey: I love you too, Jessica! Now come on! Let’s go! We’ve got people to see!
Jessi and Bart both leave the locker room together as we fade!
Tonight our bubbly Zion Wrestling Viral Champion is seen as she often is, hurrying that cute caboose of hers through the arena's back hallways, getting ready to make her entrance and join the fans ringside! She still however has a moment to speak to the camera even as she rushes.
Gianna Rojas: ¡Bart Ramsey! Para ser honesto, ¡hacía mucho tiempo que no estaba tan emocionado de enfrentarme a alguien! Ya puedo escuchar las preguntas sobre por qué, pero la verdad es simple.
She claps her hands together delightedly, her smile extra bright.
Gianna Rojas: Como cantó la gran Aretha Franklin, ¡se trata de Respeto! Algo que muchos de los que enfrenté no entendieron. Así que esta noche será muy especial, ¡algo que los fans realmente deberían disfrutar! ¡Nos vemos por ahí, Bart!
With that she's at the curtains, ready as her music begins to play.
MATCH #3: BART RAMSEY VS GIANNA ROJAS ©
Gianna and Bart would put on a clinic over the Zion Wrestling Viral Championship, showcasing their respective high-octane and disciplined repertoires. The match would start off tentatively though, both champion and challenger feeling each other out. They would lock up, traditional-style, trading arm-wringers and side headlocks before sending each other for Irish whips, criss-crossing across one another, lying prone, jumping over, leapfrogging. Gianna would go for a running hurricanrana but Bart would showcase his incredible athleticism to cartwheel out of it. He would respond in kind going for a running knee strike following another Irish whip, following Gianna this time but the champion would utilize her great ring awareness to roll out of the way, ending the stramash in a stalemate. The show of agility and high ring IQs would earn both competitors a round of applause from the crowd before they would back it.
They would continue to exchange moves in an impressive catch-wrestling sequence but the challenger would soon get the upper hand, taking Gianna’s back, grabbing her by the arm and nailing her with a ripcord knee strike. He would hold onto Gianna’s forearm though, pulling her in and planting her with a Northern Lights suplex, bridging into a pinning combination.
ONE…!
But Gianna would get a hand up, delivering a punch straight to Bart’s kidneys, forcing the pinning bridge to collapse. As Bart would return to a vertical base, momentarily favoring his side, Gianna would run at him, sending him spinning with a running headscissors takeover. With his equilibrium disrupted for a moment, Bart couldn’t prevent Gianna from continuing with her momentum, taking a hard Yakuza Kick straight to the mouth and taking. Gianna would look to attempt her first pinfall of the match, hooking the near leg.
ONE…!
TWO…!
This time Bart kicked out, forcing a near fall. The match would continue back-and-forth as Bart would impress the Fusion audience with his technical expertise, going toe-to-toe with the longest-reigning champion in Zion. However eventually, for all his skill, Gianna would show why she’s the champion to beat in Zion. As Bart attempts a Liger Bomb, Gianna would showcase her resilience and agility, shimmying out of the predicament and nailed Bart with the Terminar Rápida, transitioning seamlessly into a pin.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…and STILL the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPION!...GIANNA! ROJAS!
Amber Westgate: Another tick in the W column for the greatest Viral Champion of all time!
Adam LaRue: I’ll tell you it’s just been banger after banger after banger for Rojas, and this one is no different! Congrats to the champ!
Rojas helps Ramsey to his feet, with the two exchanging a handshake before both being violently taken to the mat! The culprits seem to be Eden Sterling and Hana Kaneko who both leer over the fallen pair!
Amber Westgate: What…what the hell are the G.O.D. doing here?!
Adam LaRue: ISIS did say that she’s firing the next shot against Jessi Ozborne! Her cousin could very well be involved in said shot!
Amber Westgate: Not if Ozborne has anything to say about it! Look!
Jessi Ozborne leaves her spot at ringside and rushes into the ring, a steel chair in hand! She manages to swipe Kaneko with a shot, but misses just short of Sterling as she leaves the ring! It seems that she has the Genesis of Destruction run off, but that changes when she’s taken down from behind as well! The culprit this time being the Gateway Champion herself, ISIS.
Amber Westgate: ISIS takes Ozborne down!
Adam LaRue: This was her plan, Amber! Something tells me she wanted Ozborne out here tonight! She was counting on it!
ISIS pulls Ozborne to her feet, taking her down with Welcome to Dystopia! All the while, Kaneko and Sterling dispose of Rojas on the outside, disallowing her from intervening in what’s to come! With Ozborne laid out, ISIS demands for Kaneko and Sterling to pin her to the mat, with Sterling especially pulling Ozborne by the hair and forcing her face forward! ISIS stands over Ramsey now, grabbing him by the arm and taking one last look at a struggle Ozborne!
Amber Westgate: No…no, no, no! Don’t do this!
Adam LaRue: I think the time for reasoning is done and over with now, Amber!
ISIS bends the arm of Ramsey in an unnatural direction, wrenching back on it until…
SNAP!
Ramsey’s arm resembles the tube of yogurt now, with ISIS leaving him laying and screaming in pain as Ozborne watches on with tears filling her eyes! ISIS bends down next to Ozborne, telling her it’s nothing personal!
Amber Westgate: This is sickening to watch! This woman is a sadist!
Adam LaRue: She won’t see it that way! In her eyes, all she’s doing is enacting Fate’s design!
Ozborne continues to struggle in Sterling and Kaneko’s grasp, her sorrow and trauma being mixed with an inconsolable rage as she fights like hell to get her hands on her cousin’s attacker! Eventually, Gianna Rojas rushes the ring, chasing off the Genesis of Destruction with the same chair dropped by Ozborne!
Amber Westgate: We gotta get some help out here! This is insane!
Ozborne uses her newfound freedom to immediately crawl over to Ramsey, now full on crying as she’s pushed out of the way in favor of medical personnel. She’s left to be consoled by Rojas as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (TERMINAR RÁPIDA)

MATCH #5: 10-PERSON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER’S BATTLE ROYAL
SPECIAL GUEST COMMENTATOR: KAITLIN WILLIAMS
Before the bell even rings, the field is left short of a member, with all nine competitors left waiting in the ring for Hana Kaneko to make her entrance! This absence becomes rationalized, with the titantron flipping to backstage footage showing her and Nadia Allen in the midst of a brawl! Multiple officials and staff attempt to pry them apart, with the two going back after one another each time! Seeing no end to the brawling in sight, the officials in the ring are told to ring the bell, with Kaneko’s spot being forfeited!
The bell rings and fists begin to fly, with everyone finding a dance partner! Everyone besides Shazzah Nasty, who opts to stick back in the corner and take advantage of the now odd number of people in this match! Zara Ivory immediately targets Elijah Copeland due to their history! Copeland seemingly has the upper hand, nailing Ivory with a shot to the midsection that leaves her leaning against the ropes! He rushes after her in the hopes of sending her over! But Ivory is able to reverse, sending him over with a Back Body Drop! Despite his best attempts to hold on and stay on the apron, a Superkick by Ivory is what finally eliminates Elijah Copeland!
Meanwhile, Ayu Megumi tries to work on getting Crystal Hilton out of the ring now, having her pushed precariously over the top rope and nearly toppling her off the apron! Brayden Hilton now comes in for the save to his mother, clobbering Megumi from behind before dragging her to the center of the ring! He nails her with a Kick to the midsection that sends Megumi kneeling, before getting her up and looking to toss her over the top rope! But Megumi turns the tables on him, instead launching Brayden Hilton over the top rope to eliminate him!
Megumi is satisfied with narrowly surviving elimination, but isn’t allowed to rest for long before Crystal Hilton comes back for her! Meanwhile, Nao Saegusa and Zara Ivory are going at it, with Ivory getting Saegusa over the ropes! Saegusa holds onto the top rope for dear life, with her feet narrowly avoiding touching the floor! But Ivory is fighting hard to pry her hands away, looking to seal another elimination! Ivory backs away, seemingly looking to come back and ram Saegusa off the ropes! But Shazzah Nasty now sees an opening, leaving her position in the corner and grabbing her from behind to send her sailing over the top rope, eliminating Zara Ivory!
Nasty taunts Ivory, seemingly satisfied with the little victory she gained here! But that small victory is short lived as she backs up into a brawling Turbo and Yumi Akiyama, who seem to take their attention off of battling each other and onto Nasty’s antics! She slowly turns around, realizing she just backed herself into the two on one situation! She nails Akiyama with a sucker punch to send her back first, but Turbo is easily able to grab hold of her, sending her over the top rope! Nasty is able to hold onto the top rope, sending Turbo back with a Forearm! However, what she doesn’t see coming is a Running Boot by Ayu Megumi, which sends Shazzah Nasty tumbling off the apron and into an elimination!
The satisfaction of this elimination is short lived however, with Turbo grabbing Megumi and sending her over the top rope, dropping her to the floor! Ayu Megumi has been eliminated!
Just like that, we’re down to our final four, with Nao Saegusa, Carmen Leija, Crystal Hilton, and Yumi Akiyama all circling the ring around one another, which themselves lest they quickly get eliminated! Turbo is the first to go after an opponent, nailing Nao Saegusa in the head with a shot! The brawl as the drift closer the ropes! Turbo has Saegusa pressed against the ropes, looking to go in for the kill! But Saegusa low bridges, sending Turbo out of the ring and to the floor for an elimination!
Just then, Crystal Hilton lays out Yumi Akiyama, with Saegusa immediately going after her as well! Saegusa and Hilton brawl it out, until they tumble over the top rope and onto the apron! The two begin to go back and forth on the apron, with Saegusa seemingly having the upper hand! It seems like Saegusa has Hilton’s number, but just then Kaitlin Williams leaves her spot on commentary! She grabs onto Saegusa’s ankle, before pulling her to the ground and having her eliminated!
Amber Westgate: What the hell did Williams do that for?!
Adam LaRue: It seems as though Williams has taken it upon herself to choose her next challenger, and it certainly isn’t Nao Saegusa!
The final two is set, with Crystal Hilton and Yumi Akiyama now fighting their hearts out to get the other over the top rope and secure the win! Hilton feels she has the win in sight, with nailing Hilton with a Superkick! The shot doubles Hilton back and over the top rope, with her only saving grace being that she landed on the apron! Akiyama approaches to seal the deal, but just then, the lights go out! When they come back up, we see Akiyama is no longer alone in the ring, with Legion now standing right behind her! She grabs Akiyama from behind, throwing her over the top rope to end this match!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Crystal! Hilton!
Amber Westgate: Crystal Hilton, with some well timed interference from Legion, gets the win, and faces off against the National Champion next week!
Adam LaRue: We had to believe that after Yumi Akiyama got that victory over Danae last week, she wouldn’t see the last of The Hive! Whenever the Wolves are abound, The Queen isn’t far behind!
Hilton is shocked in receiving the win, celebrating hard as we fade!

Elimination Order: Hana Kaneko (FORFEIT), Elijah Copeland, Brayden Hilton, Zara Ivory, Shazzah Nasty, Ayu Megumi, Carmen “Turbo” Leija, Nao Saegusa, Yumi Akiyama
We cut to the door of the trainer's room, where we have Devyn Mitchell standing by after the events that occurred earlier in the night.
Devyn Mitchell: Hello, I'm here outside of the trainer's room where I am waiting to hear an update on our guest Bart Ramsey after the brutal attack he suffered at the hands of ISIS and the Genesis of Destruction. Right now I--
Suddenly the door to the trainer's room pops open, with Jessi Ozborne stepping out of the room and closing the door behind her.
Devyn Mitchell: Jessi, I kn--
Jessi doesn't say a word, simply cutting off Devyn by slowly taking the microphone out of her hand. She doesn't even turn to Devyn as she says what she does next, opting to stare straight ahead.
Jessi Ozborne: She still here?
Devyn gives Jessi a knowing glance, with it being very clear who it is she's talking about.
Devyn Mitchell: I have been informed that she has left the building.
Jessi chuckles, with it being abundantly clear that she's holding back a certain rage.
Jessi Ozborne: Thought so. Well then, I hope she's watching.
Devyn takes this as her cue to exit stage left, leaving Jessi to wander the halls with her microphone. Jessi can barely be picked up on the microphone saying something to herself.
Jessi Ozborne: Nothing personal, only fate...bullshit.
Jessi now takes the microphone to her lips, speaking straight towards the camera.
Jessi Ozborne: You know, I see what you're doing. I see what the game plan is. I got the vision. It's crystal fucking clear. All of this is just a game to you. Just a way for you to break me up here...
Jessi points to her temple.
Jessi Ozborne: Hoping it'll break me in here...
Jessi then points to her chest.
Jessi Ozborne: Because you know that breaking me out there ain't enough...
Jessi vaguely gestures to her side, but it's clear what she's referring to here.
Jessi Ozborne: See because you know breaking me out there isn't enough. You could throw me around like a ragdoll. You could bruise my ribs like you did my fiance. You could break my arm like you did my cousin. But if I still have my will, I still get up afterwards. And if I still get up afterwards, all your talk about my "destruction" becomes just that...talk.
Jessi continues to pace the hallways as she continues.
Jessi Ozborne: But that right there is the best case scenario. What's gonna happen if I do beat you, huh? That won't appease "fate" much, won't it? Well let me tell you something about fate, ISIS. She, just like you and the clique you claim, is a BITCH. And soon enough you're gonna find that out the hard way, when you realize that she didn't bring me to you. I'm not your martyr. Nah...
𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐄.
Jessi stops walking for a moment.
Jessi Ozborne: But see, you were half right about exactly one thing. Just the one. You're driving me to the brink of destruction up here, ISIS. You are. But that can cause a woman to do things she doesn't normally do, and you know you really fucked up now, because now you got me and Kai Morgan talking again.
The crowd slightly pops, seemingly liking the direction that this is headed in.
Jessi Ozborne: You know, he was ready to straight fire your ass over this. Hell, for injuring two non-talents in the span of a month, he's ready to have your head on a stick. So I told him I'd bring it to him myself.
ISIS? At Fusion: Bloodsport. You. Me. For the Gateway Championship...in a Street Fight!
This proclamation gets a massive reaction from the crowd, who are very much in favor of the fun match that's bound to come.
Jessi Ozborne: Contract's already signed. This is non-negotiable on your end. So go on and go home, and while your there, ask Fate what the best way is to pre-emptively cope with Jessi Ozborne fucking steamrolling ya. You're fucking welcome.
Jessi drops the microphone, storming off down the hallway as we fade.
Amber Westgate: What a bombshell announcement for Fusion: Bloodsport two weeks from today, but before we get there we have one more stop in Marieville! Next week, these two teams have been at war since Toronto and now we mark another chapter just a week before Montreal! Daria Dorsey takes on Austin St. Croix to kick off the show!
Adam LaRue: Speaking of the new challenger for the Gateway Championship, I just received word of another match slated for next week! After what went down earlier in the night it seems as though Jessi Ozborne isn’t the only one looking for retribution! Next week, she teams up with the Viral Champion Gianna Rojas, as they take on the duo of Eden Sterling and Hana Kaneko!
Amber Westgate: We have huge news ahead of next week, as we can confirm another return to action! After three long months since his last appearance, The Final Boss VLADISLAV finally makes his grand return to Zion Wrestling next week on Fusion!
Adam LaRue: And in the main event, as we just saw moments ago, Crystal Hilton made it through nine other competitors to get one of the biggest opportunities she’s gotten in a long time! Will she make it worthwhile as she takes on arguably the most dominant National Champion of all time! Crystal Hilton challenges Kaitlin Williams for the National Championship to cap off next week’s Fusion!

Amber Westgate: Jordan Majors taking to the ring with a bit of extra rage in her step as she seems to have found the person behind these horrendous psychological attacks brought forth against her over the last several weeks!
Adam LaRue: She allegedly did, Amber! Morgana Summers has proclaimed her innocence in the matter a number of times since the events of last Friday went down! Regardless of whether she’s guilty or not, though, it’s undeniable that Summers isn’t gonna bulk at the opportunity she’s gotten off the back of Majors’ accusations!
Amber Westgate: How soul-crushing would it be for Jordan Majors to not only lose to her World Championship tonight, but to also come no closer to finding the person responsible for what she’s going through right now!
Summers and Majors circle the ring around one another, with the challenge looking to start this off with some light grappling! Majors is having none of it however, grabbing Summers by the hair and immediately pulling her to the mat! Summers rolls to her knees, realizing that she’s dealing with a different Jordan Majors than she expected! She makes it to her feet, immediately going after Majors with a swing! Majors gets out of the way of it however, catching Summers from behind and fixing her in a Waistlock! Summers tries her hardest to fight her way out of it, only for Majors to lift her up in an attempt at a Shoot Throw! This is the opening Summers needs to get back into this, hooking her arm around Majors’ head and coming back down into a Side Headlock!
Majors struggles for a bit, but eventually fights back, pushing Summers back into the ropes before sending her off to the other side of the ring! Summers hits the ropes, coming back to a hunched over Majors looking to catch her! But Summers is able to circumvent this, nailing Majors with a Kick across the face that gets her upright before snatching her into position and dropping her with a Saito Suplex! Pin by Summers!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Majors! Summers immediately looks to weaken her further off the pin, immediately getting her into Rear Chinlock! Majors is gasping for air as Summer wrenches back against the neck! But the champion eventually finds her way back into it, pulling herself to her feet before nailing Summers with a few Elbows to the midsection to send her away! Summers tries to recover, only to be caught with a Roundhouse Kick by Majors! The shot sends Summers to a kneeling position on the mat, with Majors looking to follow up as she backs into the corner! She rushes towards Summers, but she turns the tables, popping Majors up onto her shoulders and nailing her with a Samoan Drop!
Summers scales the turnbuckles now, looking to go aerial as she looms over Majors from the top rope! She takes off, looking for a Diving Double Foot Stomp! But Majors is able to get out of the way, with Summers tucking and rolling upon landing to keep herself upright! She rushes towards Majors, looking to keep the momentum on her side! But Majors fights back with a European Uppercut that sends Summers doubling back into the corner! Majors looks to follow up, rushing to the opposite corner before going for the Donk Bonk! Summers gets out of the way however, leaving Majors in the corner as she comes back for a Shoulder Thrust! Majors is able to catch this move by Summers, getting a hold of her head before climbing to the second rope and using her opponent’s own positioning against her in the form of a Tornado DDT! Pin by Majors!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Summers! Majors doesn’t let up on the challenger however, backing into the corner and waiting for Summers to get herself into position before looking for a Punt Kick!

THREE!!
The official hands Jordan Majors her World Championship and raises her arm in victory as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart plays through the PA system.
Amber Westgate: What a finish, and what match to add to the catalog of amazing matches that Jordan Majors has had as champion!
Adam LaRue: And most importantly, what a way to put an end to this torment she’s been going through over the past few weeks!
Amber Westgate: With all that said and done, it seems the question remains: What’s next for the longest reigning Zion Wrestling World Champion?
Adam LaRue: Indeed… wait… who’s that?
As Majors celebrates her victory, she turns towards the stage and she immediately goes wide eyed and freezes as the camera cuts to the stage and we see Samuel Lopez standing at the top of the ramp staring right at her with the unconscious body of what appears to be Yennefer Filth over his shoulder.
Amber Westgate: Wait! Samuel Lopez is the one who has been messing with Jordan?! And… is that her girlfriend over his shoulder?!
Adam LaRue: That does indeed appear to be Yennefer Filth… and this all just seems eerily similar to what ISIS did to Indigo Rosalez, which we know affected Jordan pretty bad.
Lopez then dumps the unconscious woman on the floor beside him, not taking his eyes off of the World Champion who eventually snaps out of it and immediately races to leave the ring but before she can, the lights in the arena suddenly shut off as the distorted voices of what sound like the voices of Jessi Ozborne, Indigo Rosalez and Yennefer Filth echo through the speaker system all saying:
You abandoned us…
You abandoned all of us…
This is all your fault…
It’s all your fault, Jordan…
The lights then go back on as a distraught Majors looks on to find that both Lopez and the unconscious woman believed to be her girlfriend have disappeared from the stage.
Amber Westgate: What in the Hell is going on?!
Adam LaRue: Samuel Lopez is what is going on. And the fact he has disappeared makes me nervous.
Now the titantron flashes to life and on it, we see three figures glaring at Majors, in the middle is Jessi Ozborne with her arms folded and standing either side of her are Indigo Rosalez and Yennefer Filth, but they’re both badly beaten up, very gnarly looking too.
Amber Westgate: I think I’m going to be sick.
Adam LaRue: I don’t blame you… this is awful to look at… whatever this is.
One by one, starting with Filth, the three women on the titantron turn and walk away from the camera, disappearing in the process. Ozborne is the last to do this, not before shaking her head in disgust, before she too walks away before disappearing - almost like it’s signifying the three women walking away from Majors and out of her life.
Amber Westgate: This is really getting to Jordan here…
Adam LaRue: I’m not surprised.
Suddenly there’s an explosion of fire on the stage that startles Majors so much that she ends up turning around and she then finds herself in the clutches of Lopez who proceeds to lock her into Enjoy The Silence!
Amber Westgate: What the-- where did he come from?!
Adam LaRue: I have no idea but he’s got the World Champion in that deadly vice hold and she is fading fast!
Sure enough, Majors is out like a light courtesy of Lopez as the terrifying mountain of a man then releases her before slowly crawling towards her championship. Staring down at it, he then takes hold of it before then rising to his feet and stares out into the hard camera as the show ends.
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: And it is for the Zion Wrestling WORLD! CHAMPIONSHIP!

Adam LaRue: She allegedly did, Amber! Morgana Summers has proclaimed her innocence in the matter a number of times since the events of last Friday went down! Regardless of whether she’s guilty or not, though, it’s undeniable that Summers isn’t gonna bulk at the opportunity she’s gotten off the back of Majors’ accusations!
Amber Westgate: How soul-crushing would it be for Jordan Majors to not only lose to her World Championship tonight, but to also come no closer to finding the person responsible for what she’s going through right now!

The official hands Jordan Majors her World Championship and raises her arm in victory as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart plays through the PA system.
Amber Westgate: What a finish, and what match to add to the catalog of amazing matches that Jordan Majors has had as champion!
Adam LaRue: And most importantly, what a way to put an end to this torment she’s been going through over the past few weeks!
