Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome…Code! Orange!
WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS!! SKIP IF PHOTOSENSITIVE!!
And now…Zion Wrestling Presents…Fusion: Bloodsport III!
We open up to the inside of the Bell Centre with a red set decked with small droplet-shaped screens set up over the regular titantron! Red and white pyro goes off over the stage, as the lights come up on an ecstatic crowd!
Amber Westgate: On the most hardcore night of the year, where “viewer discretion advised” is the phrase of the day, we come to you from Montreal, Quebec…for Fusion: Bloodsport 3!! I’m Amber Westgate, joined as always by Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: Put your children to bed and make sure you’re not eating anything with red sauces! Tonight is not for the squeamish, but it is for the bloodthirsty, and we have six matches worth of those kinds of people for tonight!
[Down by ringside, the crew workers are building the steel cage for later tonight. There's a shot capturing the work being done while also showing Nadia Allen, perched on the ramp, peering at the work being done. Her eyes pierce through the cage, shoving her hands inside her black hoodie pouch with a tightened expression.
This is followed by an image of Nadia now by ringside, tracing her hands down the fencing. With her right hand, Nadia grips a piece of the fencing, pulling it towards her. Her shoulders lift up as she inhales before she exhales.
Now in the ring, the sound of Nadia pounding a black punching bag with her forearms ring through the video. Nadia delivers strike after strike, bearing teeth. Here and there, Nadia lets up before continuing, sweat dripping from her face. This then turns to a shot of Nadia, now using a heavy mannequin, clutching up the right arm and leg and then spiking it on it's head with the Death-Plex.
Then back to more violent strikes to the punching bag.
She pants. The panting engulfs the video as Nadia's eyes narrow while she sits in the middle of the ring, kneeling. Her nostrils flare. She grits her teeth.]
Nadia: Cage of Survival. Hana Kaneko. You f**k with me, you end up in the grave. I don't believe in survivals. I'm not letting you survive and walk out of here. You don't get to sleep in your bed tonight. You don't get to give the glory to your God ISIS. I sent Eden back to her in a bodybag. Tonight, I send you back to her in a coffin.
I hope you're ready.
[Nadia's expression remains stone faced, faced caked in sweat.]
[FIN]
The Bell Centre of Montreal, Canada, has been chosen to host the special edition of Fusion: Bloodsport III. However, for the opening match, the Gateway Championship will open the show with the boiling rivalry between Jessi Ozborne and ISIS ending. The camera transitions to the interior of the ring, where Darrion Hughes is standing in the center of the ring to begin the introductions officially.
Darrion Hughes: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Zion Wrestling Gateway Championship!
"Hype Zombies" by PVRIS begins to build up momentum as the lights in the interior of the venue slowly shift to a dark setting, blanketing the audience in complete pitch black. The fans know what's about to happen as a single spotlight shines over the stage to where the true Queen of Chaos should be seen for the Toronto fans, but no one is there. In a few moments, the lights return to brighten the venue's interior, and the music comes to a sudden silent end. The audience begins to boo at this unfortunate situation.
Amber Westgate: Umm, where is Jessi Ozborne? It's not like her to miss this, as she's been wanting to get her hands on ISIS! Please don't tell me something happened to her because she's been looking for this opportunity to knock ISIS off her high horse and grab the Gateway Championship.
Adam LaRue: Hold on, Amber, we're getting news of a commotion going backstage right now! We need cameras!
The broadcast of the show transitions immediately to the camera's point of view, running through the hallways to a commotion as other employees and personnel run away from an open forum in the backstage area of the venue. A referee is screaming at the top of his lungs to try and discourage Jessi Ozborne and ISIS from brawling, but it ends futile as they are glued onto each other, consistently throwing strikes. The audience sees it on the live screen and goes haywire from the madness, causing a chaotic, unsafe environment.
Amber Westgate: Oh my god! I know this would be a street fight, but Jessi has taken the fight to ISIS!
Adam LaRue: What do you expect? After ISIS broke Bart's arm and said it wasn't personal, Jessi Ozborne has been on a path for revenge! The war between the Queens of Chaos and G.O.D. has involved too many innocents, but Jessi's cousin having his arm broken in front of her was the last straw by ISIS!
Jessi digs her shoulder into the abdomen of ISIS and drives her spine against an equipment box! Her back gets slammed against the equipment box, and ISIS screams out in agony until Jessi continues delivering a continuous stream of Elbow Blows into the head of ISIS to keep her steady. Out of frustration, Jessi grabs the nearest trash can lid and slams it across the forehead of ISIS that, sits her down on the cold concrete floor. The Canadian audience breaks out into a chant of "JESSI! JESSI! JESSI!" entirely supports her extreme measures against her opponent.
Amber Westgate: That's right, Jessi! Get your revenge and put down this woman who thinks she's above everyone!
Jessi walks away for a moment until she turns on her feet to charge at ISIS and blasts her head into the equipment box with a Running Knee Strike!
Adam LaRue: Oh my god! Jessi nearly killed her!
ISIS falls onto her side and lies down on the concrete, stunned by the blow. She begins to lift her head, and blood pours from an open gash above her right eye. However, Jessi reaches down for a handful of her hair and drags her back up to her feet before dragging her down the hall. Unfortunately, ISIS quickly grabs her by the waist from behind, lifts her with her full strength, and charges her straight into a wall to punch her body against the structure.
Amber Westgate: How is ISIS still going after suffering that knee strike that almost took her out?
The referee stays close to the action and watches Jessi fall onto her hands and knees from the blow. ISIS runs forward and lands a Soccer Kick into the exposed ribs of her opponent, making Jessi curl up in pain. She bends down to a knee and grabs Jessi by a handful of hair to scream at how she made a grave mistake drawing blood from a G.O.D. To make sure she understood, she stood over her, reached down, and lifted her with both hands around her throat, then picked her up off the floor to toss her into a wall of equipment boxes and tools, causing them topple over and bury her in the chaos.
Adam LaRue: The sheer strength and power of ISIS has given her the offense back in her favor as she just launched Jessi into the production equipment. We need to get this back into the ring, or we'll never be let back into this venue again!
ISIS pushes the carnage out of the way and grabs the wrist of the fallen Jessi Ozborne before dragging her near-lifeless body across the cold concrete, making her way to the entrance. The camera and referee follow behind them, and as they are near the stage, the audience sees ISIS dragging Jessi to a massive array of boos. ISIS rolls her eyes, then lets go of the wrist to stand over Jessi with her arms out, showcasing how dominant and glorious she is.
Amber Westgate: The sheer ego and cheek of ISIS to pose over Jessi Ozborne, knowing what she did to her family! This woman believes she is Godly and can do anything without consequence!
ISIS reaches down for Jessi and then stands her back up onto her feet before pressing her over her head. Jessi continues to be lifeless as ISIS walks over to the edge of the stage in an attempt to throw her down, but Jessi springs back to her life and drops down behind her onto her feet. ISIS turns around and eats a Superkick into the chin that knocks her down the entrance path, causing her to roll and ragdoll near the apron edge of the ring facing the stage.
Adam LaRue: Superkick by the contender! Jessi was playing possum, and I think we know why!
ISIS has her bell rocked and doesn't understand what happened, but she tries to stand on her right knee with her back turned to Jessi, who sprints down the entrance path to land the Shining Wizard to the back of ISIS's head! ISIS falls onto the mat face first, and Jessi stops herself before using the apron to stand up on her feet, barely looking wide-eyed at the fallen ISIS.
Amber Westgate: BITCH-CRAFT! The Inverted Shining Wizard, and it seems she wants to put ISIS down immediately!
The referee tells Jessi both competitors need to be in the ring for the match to begin officially. She barely drags ISIS to her feet before launching her into the ring. Before Jessi gets into the ring, she scrambles under it to slide in several steel chairs before pulling out a table with the audience going insane. Jessi slides it into the ring before following afterward, and the referee gets into the ring to finally signal for the bell!
Jessi begins to compile the chairs together, stacking them on each other. However, she notices ISIS sitting down in a corner, and she gets the idea to back up to the opposing corner. The perfect opportunity to unleash a Hand Grenade, she grabs the top rope on both sides. She leans forward, studying the ideal strike until sprinting right out of the corner, only for ISIS to grab a chair near her and launch it into her face, causing a massive echo clash of steel and chair to be heard around the arena. Jessi falls onto the canvas, and ISIS scrambles across the ring to hook the leg up!
Adam LaRue: Holy crap! ISIS just flew the chair across the ring into the face of Jessi, and now here's the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
No! Jessi kicks out from the pin attempt and lies down on her side, showing to the camera and the audience blood trickling down her face from the chair, creating an open cut on her forehead. ISIS stands back up on her feet and holds onto her hair before standing up her feet. When she digs into a right knee, the contender falls to her hands and knees. She quickly lifts her right leg up, then drops it vertically onto Jessi's head, landing an Axe Kick that ultimately keeps her down!
Amber Westgate: I know this is a street fight, but this is a massacre! Both women will kill each other, and if this match doesn't end, we don't know what can happen! Right now, ISIS just landed a brutal Axe Kick to the back of Jessi's head, and oh no, she's got something ready for the chairs!
ISIS reaches down for her head and slowly drags her back up to her feet to lift her across her shoulders. However, Jessi lands a couple of Back Elbows to her head to drop down in front of her before landing Two Forearm Blows fol, lowed by a Spinning Back Fist that stuns her! Jessi leaps up for the Enguiziri Kick, but ISIS ducks under it, causing her to fall onto her stomach. Then ISIS reaches down to hug her waist from below to deadlift her into a German Suplex, slamming her on top of the bed of chairs!
Adam LaRue: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! A GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO THE BED OF CHAIRS AND JESSI OZBORNE MAY BE OUTCOLD! ISIS, PLEASE STOP! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH! JUST STOP THIS MADNESS AND WALK AWAY WITH SOME DIGNITY!
Unfortunately, ISIS ignores Adam and marches over to Jessi, who has rolled backward from the landing to lie in a curled ball. ISIS picks her up and places a hand on her chest before slinging her right arm over the shoulder, then lifting Jessi off the mat to sit on her proper shoulder sl, ramming her down from her 6'0" figure, causing her back to almost shatter against the canvas. She falls on top of Jessi for the pin attempt!
Adam LaRue: WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA!!! SHE LANDED IT! SHE NAILED IT! THE ONE-ARM POWERBOMB BY THE STRONGEST WOMEN IN ZION WRESTLING, AND HERE IS THE PIN ATTEMPT!
ONE...!
T.W.O....!
THREE-NOOOOO!
Jessi Ozborne shoots her right arm out of the pin attempt and turns onto her side. ISIS sits up on the mat with her jaw dropped, hands almost ripping her green hair out, but she slaps the canvas in pure anger. She gets back on her feet and kicks the chairs out of the ring before looking over to the table, then marches to the table to start setting up a little distance from a corner. ISIS slaps the table a few times and then looks over to Jessi, who is still lifeless on the mat.
Amber Westgate: No! I can't sit here and look at this anymore. ISIS doesn't care what happens to Jessi Ozborne as long as it means that Jessi is out of the picture!
ISIS slowly walks over, using her strength to stand up, and looks down at Jessi, who is trying to get back on her feet. She kicks Jessi in the back of her head, repeatedly mocking her down until she holds a handful of her hair, showing her bloodied face to the audience with a sinister smile plastered from ear to ear. The moment she stands Jessi up, Jessi immediately launches a Soccer Kick into the groin of ISIS, which makes the champion scream in agony and fall to her hands and knees into a crawling position, which gives Jessi enough time to run to the ropes, rebound and land that beautiful Curbstomp in the center of the ring!
Adam LaRue: RUDE AWAKENING!!! RUDE AWAKENING!!! ISIS' ARROGANCE WAS HER DOWNFALL, AND JESSI HAS HIT THAT FINISHING CURBSTOMP! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NEW ZION WRESTLING GATEWAY CHAMPION! HERE IS THE PIN!
ONE...!
T.W.O....!
THREE-NOOOOO!
ISIS shoots her body out of the pin attempt, and Jessi rolls over onto her side. Both competitors are down on the canvas, resting up as much as they can in a bloodied heap of mess, but the audience stands on their feet, applauding both wrestlers for giving it their all in such a chaotic environment.
Amber Westgate: Jessi Ozborne and ISIS are showing why they are two of the best damn wrestlers in the industry! This is a feud that was made personal by ISIS, and Jessi's anger has been the result of ISIS being pushed beyond her limit!
Jessi slowly crawls down to the other corner with the bit of energy she has left. ISIS uses the table near to stand herself up onto her right knee and Jessi uses the corner turnbuckles to pull herself up with her back turned to ISIS. ISIS, on the other hand, says out loud: "Bart would be proud of you, Jessi!", and Ozborne hears that causing her head to tilt up with her eyes almost turning blood-red. Her lips quiver, teeth digging into each other and she turns around instantly watching ISIS stand up before charging across the ring to tackle over the table!
Adam LaRue: YOU SON OF A BITCH ISIS! WHY WOULD YOU ANTAGONIZE JESSI OZBORNE LIKE THAT?! JESSI OZBORNE HAS GONE MAD AND SHE'S LOST CONTROL OF HERSELF!
Both women roll over the table and crash down onto the canvas in the corner but Jessi gets on top of ISIS on the canvas assuming the mount position. Screaming at the top of her lungs, she delivers hard, stiff, and powerful punches from below in a consistent brawling manner; The referee tries his best to remove her but Jessi shoves him away causing him to fall down on the canvas. She continues pummeling her until rolling off of her before standing on her feet looking distraught, shaken and completely unhinged. The audience, however, are in full support of Jessi Ozborne's anger!
Amber Westgate: WE'VE SEEN THIS RARELY BUT JESSI OZBORNE HAS GONE FULL BESERK! ISIS MAY BE LOSING HER CHAMPIONSHIP MORE THAN SHE KNOWS AND WHERE THE HELL IS JESSI GOING?!
Jessi immediately rolls out of the ring to look under it for a certain time until pulling out a can of gasoline followed by a lighter. The referee sees this and rolls out of the ring in an attempt to stop but Jessi punches him in the face!
Adam LaRue: YOU DO NOT EVER PUT YOURSELF IN THE PATH OF AN ENRAGED JESSI OZBORNE!
Jessi slides into the ring with the ingredients in her hand and looks down at ISIS who is still covering her fully bloodied face. On the other hand, Jessi pops open the can of gasoline on the table and pours it all over before throwing it out of the ring.
Amber Westgate: JESSI OZBORNE IS POURING THE GASOLINE ON THE TABLE?!
Jessi walks to ISIS and uses her strength to try and drag her up onto her feet before doing all she can to sit her up on the top turnbuckle. Jessi then lands a Roundhouse Kick into the head of ISIS who leans back almost out of it giving Jessi enough time to climb onto the middle rope then hold the lighter up to flick the flame on before tossing it over her shoulder onto the table causing the gasoline to spark and blaze in fire!
Adam LaRue: NO! NO! NO! STOP! OH MY GOD! WE NEED EMT'S AND FIRE! THE TABLE IS ON FIRE!
Amber Westgate: THIS ISN'T WORTH IT JESSI! ISIS AND JESSI OZBORNE ARE GOING TO SUFFER SEVERE LIFE-ALTERING INJURIES! SOMEONE STOP THIS!!!
Suddenly, Jessi looks forward, all emotion removed from her face as she begins to unravel the wrist tape from around her hands.
Amber Westgate: Oh no…
Adam LaRue: We’ve seen how this has gone before…
ISIS pulls herself up to her feet, looking to take a swing towards Jessi! Jessi bobs underneath it, however, nailing ISIS with a stiff close-fisted punch right to the temple!
SMACK
Amber Westgate: It never gets any less uncomfortable to hear…
Adam LaRue: Even when done to someone like ISIS, it’s brutal!
ISIS is immediately rocked by this punch, falling to a knee on the mat, Jessi goes for it again!
SMACK
And another!
SMACK
Each hit just gets Jessi more and more angry, with ISIS’ eyes now fluttering as she fights to stay conscious! Jessi clutches her fist for one last hit, seemingly looking to put ISIS down for good! But, just like every other time she’s acted this way, she snaps out of it! She falls back into the corner and looks remorseful as she unballs her fists! It takes her a while, but she eventually makes her way back to ISIS, who immediately snatches her up before she can do anything else! She gets her in position, before dropping her through the FLAMING TABLE WITH WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA!
Adam LaRue: HOLY SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! OH MY FUCKING GOD! I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT DURING MY TIME HERE IN ZION FUCKING WRESTLING!
Amber Westgate: ISIS LANDING THE WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE ON FIRE!!! WE NEED EMT'S NOW! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE COME DOWN HERE AND DO SOMETHING!
The referee on the outside slowly gets up and rolls into the ring to see both women laying down beside each other but the right arm of ISIS lays on the chest of Jessi and he falls down to the mat to count the pin!
ONE...!
T.W.O....!
THREE...!!!
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner and STILL the Zion Wrestling Gateway Champion, ISIS!!!
Amber Westgate: This has been a war…and it’s only been the first match of the night!
Adam LaRue: In the end though, it was ISIS who had the fortitude to win tonight! What a match!
ISIS slowly gets back to her feet, having her title handed to her and her hand raised! She wipes the blood from her forehead, having a laugh at it all as she looks up! She doesn’t seem finished however, waving to the back as Eden Sterling and Hana Kaneko make their way down the ramp!
Amber Westgate: Oh no…
Adam LaRue: ISIS said she’d keep the Genesis of Destruction at bay for the match, but the match is over now!
Amber Westgate: ISIS isn’t just looking to defeat Jessi Ozborne at this point! She’s looking to completely destroy her! She’s looking to make it so that Jessi is never seen again!
Hana and Eden crowd the ring, with Jessi coming to just in time to see them all! The normally fearless Jessi can’t help but to look frghtened by everything she’s seeing! The two climb right into the ring, ready to help ISIS ultimately dispose of Jessi!
Amber Westgate: Wait a minute! The Deathriders! They’re here!
Adam LaRue: Jessi did say that she had an insurance policy for a situation like this! What better insurance policy to have than the longest reigning Undisputed Tag Team Champions?!
ISIS immediately hops out of the ring, with Kaya and Lilith Parker rushing in and fighting back Eden and Hana! Hana is sent flying out of the ring now, with Kaya and Lilith setting up Eden for the Widow’s Strike! Before they can land the move however, ISIS pulls Eden out of the ring, with the trio backing up the ramp as they curse the rescuing Queens! Kaya and Lilith help pull Jessi back to her feet, herself only barely remaining conscious! The sisters taunt the G.O.D. as we fade!
Darrion Hughes: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Zion Wrestling Gateway Championship!
"Hype Zombies" by PVRIS begins to build up momentum as the lights in the interior of the venue slowly shift to a dark setting, blanketing the audience in complete pitch black.

Jessi immediately rolls out of the ring to look under it for a certain time until pulling out a can of gasoline followed by a lighter. The referee sees this and rolls out of the ring in an attempt to stop but Jessi punches him in the face!
Adam LaRue: YOU DO NOT EVER PUT YOURSELF IN THE PATH OF AN ENRAGED JESSI OZBORNE!
Jessi slides into the ring with the ingredients in her hand and looks down at ISIS who is still covering her fully bloodied face. On the other hand, Jessi pops open the can of gasoline on the table and pours it all over before throwing it out of the ring.
Amber Westgate: JESSI OZBORNE IS POURING THE GASOLINE ON THE TABLE?!
Jessi walks to ISIS and uses her strength to try and drag her up onto her feet before doing all she can to sit her up on the top turnbuckle. Jessi then lands a Roundhouse Kick into the head of ISIS who leans back almost out of it giving Jessi enough time to climb onto the middle rope then hold the lighter up to flick the flame on before tossing it over her shoulder onto the table causing the gasoline to spark and blaze in fire!
Adam LaRue: NO! NO! NO! STOP! OH MY GOD! WE NEED EMT'S AND FIRE! THE TABLE IS ON FIRE!
Amber Westgate: THIS ISN'T WORTH IT JESSI! ISIS AND JESSI OZBORNE ARE GOING TO SUFFER SEVERE LIFE-ALTERING INJURIES! SOMEONE STOP THIS!!!
Suddenly, Jessi looks forward, all emotion removed from her face as she begins to unravel the wrist tape from around her hands.
Amber Westgate: Oh no…
Adam LaRue: We’ve seen how this has gone before…
ISIS pulls herself up to her feet, looking to take a swing towards Jessi! Jessi bobs underneath it, however, nailing ISIS with a stiff close-fisted punch right to the temple!
SMACK
Amber Westgate: It never gets any less uncomfortable to hear…
Adam LaRue: Even when done to someone like ISIS, it’s brutal!
ISIS is immediately rocked by this punch, falling to a knee on the mat, Jessi goes for it again!
SMACK
And another!
SMACK
Each hit just gets Jessi more and more angry, with ISIS’ eyes now fluttering as she fights to stay conscious! Jessi clutches her fist for one last hit, seemingly looking to put ISIS down for good! But, just like every other time she’s acted this way, she snaps out of it! She falls back into the corner and looks remorseful as she unballs her fists! It takes her a while, but she eventually makes her way back to ISIS, who immediately snatches her up before she can do anything else! She gets her in position, before dropping her through the FLAMING TABLE WITH WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA!
Adam LaRue: HOLY SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! OH MY FUCKING GOD! I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT DURING MY TIME HERE IN ZION FUCKING WRESTLING!
Amber Westgate: ISIS LANDING THE WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE ON FIRE!!! WE NEED EMT'S NOW! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE COME DOWN HERE AND DO SOMETHING!
The referee on the outside slowly gets up and rolls into the ring to see both women laying down beside each other but the right arm of ISIS lays on the chest of Jessi and he falls down to the mat to count the pin!
ONE...!
T.W.O....!
THREE...!!!
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner and STILL the Zion Wrestling Gateway Champion, ISIS!!!
Amber Westgate: This has been a war…and it’s only been the first match of the night!
Adam LaRue: In the end though, it was ISIS who had the fortitude to win tonight! What a match!
ISIS slowly gets back to her feet, having her title handed to her and her hand raised! She wipes the blood from her forehead, having a laugh at it all as she looks up! She doesn’t seem finished however, waving to the back as Eden Sterling and Hana Kaneko make their way down the ramp!
Amber Westgate: Oh no…
Adam LaRue: ISIS said she’d keep the Genesis of Destruction at bay for the match, but the match is over now!
Amber Westgate: ISIS isn’t just looking to defeat Jessi Ozborne at this point! She’s looking to completely destroy her! She’s looking to make it so that Jessi is never seen again!
Hana and Eden crowd the ring, with Jessi coming to just in time to see them all! The normally fearless Jessi can’t help but to look frghtened by everything she’s seeing! The two climb right into the ring, ready to help ISIS ultimately dispose of Jessi!
Amber Westgate: Wait a minute! The Deathriders! They’re here!
Adam LaRue: Jessi did say that she had an insurance policy for a situation like this! What better insurance policy to have than the longest reigning Undisputed Tag Team Champions?!
ISIS immediately hops out of the ring, with Kaya and Lilith Parker rushing in and fighting back Eden and Hana! Hana is sent flying out of the ring now, with Kaya and Lilith setting up Eden for the Widow’s Strike! Before they can land the move however, ISIS pulls Eden out of the ring, with the trio backing up the ramp as they curse the rescuing Queens! Kaya and Lilith help pull Jessi back to her feet, herself only barely remaining conscious! The sisters taunt the G.O.D. as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA)
The camera finds the members of Las Olvidadas, Gabriela “Taza” Carbajal, Essie “Sangre” Carbajal and Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija standing in a room with several guests including two other Shieldmaidens. Sitting nearest the far wall and furthest from the door is Ichika Sanada, a competitor ho had her first match here in Zion in the Queen of Strong Style Tournament and is the eighteen year-old cousin of San Clemente Charter Co-Sgt-At-Arms Chiaki “Chi Chi” Sanada as well as Zion competitor Yukiko Kusanagi whose match Ichika had come to see. Sitting with Ichika are San Clemente Secretary Riki “Rocket” Metcalf and her girlfriend, Meigui Blackman, sister of Zion competitor Mai Blackman whose match they had come to see in the same manner as Ichika had come to watch her cousin compete. Also sitting with them are San Clemente Prospects Yukari Kojima, coming along so someone can speak properly with Ichika, as well as Lucila "Lucy" Muñoz and Keylla “Key” Muñoz, cousins to the members of Las Olvidadas.
Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija: We’re here and still ready to go.
Taza nods grimly.
Gabriela “Taza” Carbajal: Es la verdad.
Sangre just glares into the camera.
Essentia “Sangre” Carbajal: We’re here to watch and see who stands where and who we might have to prove ourselves against next.
Turbo nods her agreement.
Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija: And as you see, we have brought an audience with us.
Taza shrugs slightly.
Gabriela “Taza” Carbajal: We always do.
Sangre grins.
Essentia “Sangre” Carbajal: It is what we do.
Turbo, Taza and Sangre all smile simultaneously.
Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija: And we will continue…
Gabriela “Taza” Carbajal: Siempre.
Essentia “Sangre” Carbajal: Para siempre.
Darrion Hughes: "The following contest, ladies and gentlemen, is scheduled for one fall, by knockout or submission only…"
The crowd responds with a pop, anticipating the brutality they’re about to witness as the camera pans across the ring. The ropes and turnbuckles have been removed completely, leaving just the ringposts and the barely padded canvas.
Darrion Hughes: "This…is your KUMITE RULES Match!!"
Quebec boos as Voodoo Johnson’s “United Divided” plays over the PA and the lights dim low with the tron wall coming to life. Two silhouettes appear on the stage, one bouncing on the balls of their feet to stay loose. That one takes the lead, heading towards the ring with the other following close behind as the lights adjust, revealing Cherry Blackman following a ready and focused Mai Blackman to the ring. Cherry’s wearing one of Mai’s “Born To Kill” t-shirts with combat boots and black jeans. Mai’s wearing a simple pair of sneakers with a pair of “Born To Kill” kickboxing shorts and a red BJJ gi top, tied off with her black belt and a white towel shrouding her head and face.
Darrion Hughes: "Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Cherry Blackman, hailing from Chicago, Illinois…she is…MAI…BLACKMAN!!"
Amber Westgate: "Undefeated in this match, is Mai Blackman, Adam. She fancies herself a specialist in this type of combat."
Adam LaRue: "Well, the last time we saw her in this, she put a hurting on Carmen “Turbo” Leija. Not to say Turbo didn’t get her licks in just as well but like you said, nobody has bested Mai Blackman in Kumite Rules. It’s like she was bred for this."
Amber Westgate: "She might be, but she’s earned the ire of Blaze Darling this time and Blaze is looking to show her the error of her ways."
Mai and Cherry circle around the ring, passing by the crowd when Mai suddenly stops and looks at a pair of faces in the front row. One of the two, recognized as Ichika Sanada claps and bounces excitedly in her chair with the rest of the crowd, ready for the upcoming contest. The woman beside her stares right at Mai with a look torn between disappointment, sadness but a hint of pride for the woman making her way to the ring. Mai doesn’t move a muscle until Cherry claps her on the shoulder to get her moving again. Instead of moving, Mai turns right there and kicks off her shoes, starting to remove her belt and gi, handing them to her wife.
Adam LaRue: "Amber? I know that’s Ichika Sanada, but who’s that with her?"
Amber Westgate: "That’s Mai’s sister, Meigui Blackman. You don’t watch MMA?"
Adam LaRue: "I do. I didn’t recognize her with her hair down, all dressed up! Something tells me they don’t like each other much."
Amber Westgate: "Your guess is as good as mine, I didn’t see a “go get ‘em” hug or anything."
Mai climbs up onto the mat where she pulls her towel off of her head and yells to the crowd, throwing her arms out before tossing it down to Cherry.
I2I by Tevin Campbell begins to play through the arena and the crowd goes wild. Blaze Darling comes crashing through the backstage area as soon as the vocals hit. She’s got Goofy ears and her gear resembles that of Powerline from A Goofy Movie. There’s an irremovable grin on her face as she moves towards the center of the entrance ramp. The chorus hits and she stops to do The Perfect Cast right on the ramp as the crowd comes alive again.
Darrion Hughes: "Her opponent…fighting out of Anaheim, California…representing the Queens of Chaos…she is…BLAZE…DARLING!!"
She makes her way towards the ring shortly after, high fiving fans along the way. She climbs the outer ring post and poses atop it from the outside before rolling into the ring. She’s purely determined here tonight.
Amber Westgate: "Blaze Darling has become fed up with the antagonistic attitude of Mai Blackman ever since their first encounter and tonight she’s looking to finally shut her up."
Adam LaRue: "Things have certainly heated up between these two and Blackman’s no pushover but Darling is a member of one of the most renowned factions of professional wrestling. You don’t become a Queen of Chaos by being a slouch. I think Blackman’s about to learn that lesson the hard way."
Amber Westgate: "Well, Blaze Darling definitely looks to teach her a lesson she’ll never forget and this is the match to do so, Adam."
Blaze and Mai immediately come away from their corners, or what’s more or less designated as “corners” without ropes, and circle up on the mat in the center. Mai immediately goes into cerebral warfare mode as she starts faking lunges for Blaze’s legs, keeping her on her toes as they circle around but Blaze demonstrates her quick reaction time, looking ready to catch her in a sprawl if she actually goes for it. Finally, Mai lunges in and Blaze meets her as the two lock up, collar and elbow. Blaze manages the first slip and gets Mai in a rear waistlock but Mai immediately twists around, reversing it into one of her own before Blaze can fully get her hands locked together. Mai lifts Blaze’s feet off the mat and slams her down prone with a thud to the canvas. She takes the back and looks for a Rear Naked Chokehold but Blaze gets her arm up to keep Mai from getting the choke locked in and rolls to the side, putting Mai on her back before rolling up to her feet. Mai goes to get up but Blaze swoops in to seek the advantage and throws on a Front Facelock, looking for a Guillotine Choke but Mai, too, gets an arm up to protect her neck as she fights to her feet. She muscles Blaze’s arm away and shoots in for a Double Leg Takedown, it seems, but she lifts Blaze clear up off the mat and slams her down onto her back, scrambling for a mount and goes right into a ground and pound with Blaze shielding her face with her arms from Mai’s fists and elbows. Montreal starts losing their minds as the intensity of this bout picks up.
Amber Westgate: "We knew this wouldn’t be a pretty one, from the get go and Mai Blackman’s looking to prove it right here!"
Adam LaRue: "Hey, knockout or submission only but a win’s a win for Blackman even if it means turning Darling’s skull to mush!"
Mai continues to hammer down onto Blaze in an attempt to break through her guard but Blaze gets her legs up between herself and her aggressor, pushing up and catching one of Mai’s arms before throwing her over onto her side and looking for a Cross Armbar. Mai manages to roll and slip out of it, getting to her feet and steps towards Blaze again, but this time The Firestarter, explodes up from a knee and catches Mai in the face with a sickening forearm right across the jaw that rocks her back and Mai drops down to one knee. Blaze realizes her High Flying game has been neutralized in this match so she’s obviously decided to go to her Strong Style discipline and perhaps her Technical game as well! Mai brings a hand from her mouth and looks at it, seeing specks of blood. She spits a few more specks of blood on the canvas and looks up at Blaze, almost in disbelief. The entirety of the Bell Centre is behind Blaze now as they cheer for her to give Mai her receipts.
Adam LaRue: "Look at Blaze Darling telling Mai Blackman “come get you some!” She’s ready to fight dirty if she has to!"
Amber Westgate: "Blaze has drawn first blood on Mai here! Looks like a busted lip or maybe a gum!"
Blaze is fired up now as she motions for Mai to bring it, urging her forward. Mai responds, getting to her feet and rushes in with the two women beginning to trade vicious shots back and forth. Forearms from Blaze and stiff open hand palm strikes from Mai. Each shot rings throughout the arena as they just blast each other relentlessly. Mai soon moves to Forearms of her own as Blaze seems to just be absorbing the palm strikes. But the Forearms from Mai seem to be barely doing any better, it’s not until she catches Blaze in a clinch and starts throwing Muay Thai knees to the midsection. The crowd looks on at the edge of their seats as Blaze starts getting backed towards the edge of the mat but she finally gets her arms in front of her to block the incoming knees and shoves Mai backwards. Mai stumbles and Blaze explodes forward, driving the sole of her bare foot right into Mai’s face with a Running “Big Boot” kick. Mai’s mouthpiece goes flying as she hits the mat and Blaze collapses! Both women are down! Mai holds her face as Blaze clutches her ribs, gulping in breaths of oxygen to regain what was knocked out of her from those knees. Blood is seen seeping from between Mai’s fingers as she rolls onto her side and the referee checks on both women before stepping back and beginning to give the count towards ten.
Amber Westgate: "At least one of these two need to make it up unless they want this to end here with no win for either of them!"
Adam LaRue: "I’d wager neither would be exactly happy about that. They want this done and over with. Definitively! A double countout doesn’t grant that!"
Both women make it up to one knee, enough to stop the count and the match continues with them staring across the ring at each other. Blaze bites through the pain in her ribs, glaring while Mai sneers at her with blood running down her mouth from her nose. They both rise, almost in tandem, up to their feet and step in towards the center again. Mai offers up her hands for a test of might. Blaze reaches to meet her but Mai suddenly drops and reaches in to hit a Fireman’s Carry Takedown, but Blaze has this scouted as she floats over onto her feet on the other side and as Mai turns around, she catches her into a Reverse STO, looking to transition into a Koji Clutch!
Amber Westgate: "Hakuna Matata!!"
Adam LaRue: "Not so wonderful if you’re Mai Blackman right now!"
Amber Westgate: "Blaze Darling has that submission locked in tight with Mai Blackman dead center of the ring!"
Adam LaRue: "Even if she were near the edge, there’s no ropes! How the hell do you escape such a complex move?!"
Blaze gets it locked on tight as Mai is left in what looks to be a helpless position. No ropes to grab for a break as Blaze wrenches back on her neck. The referee gets down on their level, looking to Mai for any sign that she wants to tap or submit. Mai lifts a shaky hand up, ready to tap but curls that hand into a fist and pounds it against the mat in desperation. A moment of struggling later and Blaze starts screaming out in pain before suddenly letting go of the hold and grabbing the back of her thigh.
Amber Westgate: "Oh, Mai Blackman just bit Blaze Darling like a damn animal!"
Adam LaRue: "Hey! No holds barred, Amber! Anything goes in a street fight!"
Amber Westgate: "Blackman usually wears that mouthguard when she competes but it was knocked out earlier!"
Adam LaRue: "Utilizing every resource!"
Mai rolls away, clutching her neck as the referee checks on Blaze and a camera cut shows bloody teeth marks in the flesh where Mai bit her! Blaze looks down at her leg incredulously then up at Mai with rage in her eyes. Mai’s eyes stay locked on her as she starts fighting to her feet. The two rush at each other again but it all happens in a flash as Blaze goes for a lariat and Mai slips underneath her outstretched arm, pivoting on her feet. Blaze starts to whip around and Mai turns on one heel in a snap, throwing her arm back! “The System (Spinning Back Elbow)” connects!!!!! Blaze’s head snaps back as she crumples to the mat!
Adam LaRue: "AYO!!!!"
Amber Westgate: "There it is! The System!! Blaze might be out!"
Adam LaRue: "Could very well be!"
The referee immediately drops down to the mat to check Blaze, with an arm outstretched to keep Mai back. The official turns to the timekeeper and calls for the bell!
Darrion Hughes: "Here is your winner…by knockout…MAI…BLACKMAN!!!!"
Adam LaRue: "Holy hell, Amber! Talk about out of nowhere!"
Amber Westgate: "No kidding! Give it up for Blaze Darling! She brought it and then some to Mai Blackman but it’s hard to scout that knockout blow of hers!"
There’s a mixed reaction from the crowd, cheers for Blaze’s effort, boos for some disappointment in the outcome but an overall appreciation for the talent displayed by both warriors tonight. Mai throws her arms up with a triumphant roar as she almost collapses to her knees but Cherry’s there to catch her, amping her up as she wipes the blood from Mai’s face with her towel.
Amber Westgate: "What a match that was, ladies and gentlemen!"
Adam LaRue: "That was a fight, Amber! What are you talking about?"
Amber Westgate: "You know what? Fair. That was, indeed, a fight and a hell of one too!"
The crowd responds with a pop, anticipating the brutality they’re about to witness as the camera pans across the ring. The ropes and turnbuckles have been removed completely, leaving just the ringposts and the barely padded canvas.

Amber Westgate: "You know what? Fair. That was, indeed, a fight and a hell of one too!"
RESULT: KNOCKOUT (THE SYSTEM)
Immediately after the match, Mai and Cherry Blackman are seen stepping backstage from out in the arena. Cherry walks briskly to catch up with Mai before the older woman starts pacing back and forth in front of the camera with her hand on her nose, hissing in a mix of pain and aggravation.
Cherry Blackman: "Hey, hey. Let me see. C’mere. Babe! C’mere."
Despite herself, Mai turns towards Cherry and lifts her head as her wife checks her nose, gently touching with her fingers.
Mai Blackman: "Agh! Fuck!"
Cherry Blackman: "Yup. That’s a break. Hold still. On three. Ready?"
Mai gives a quick, shallow nod as Cherry places her hands.
Cherry Blackman: "One, two–"
And she cracks Mai’s nose back into place.
Mai Blackman: "FUCK!"
Mai instantly pulls back and pounds her fist on a table. Once, twice, three times. She kicks over a stack of water bottles. Cherry doesn’t budge a muscle or try to stop her as her wife lets her rage help null the pain. Only when Mai calms down does Cherry grin and take her face in her hands, laying a kiss to her lips then across her sweaty face.
Cherry Blackman: "You know how hot it is when you smash a bitch’s face in like that? Hey, buck up! You won!"
Mai wipes the blood from her face with her towel that now looks like it was used to clean up part of a murder scene.
Mai Blackman: "What the fuck was she doing out there?!"
She looks to Cherry and points out towards the arena, obviously indicating her sister, Mei-gui. Cherry raises her hands, cluelessly.
Cherry Blackman: "Hey, beats the shit outta me. I’m as lost on it as you are."
Mai Blackman: "Tch, fuck it."
Mai dabs her nose and mouth with the towel more before noticing the camera and scoffs, sweat dripping down her face with her hair down one side, having fallen out of its ponytail.
Mai Blackman: "And what the hell do you want? Do I even need to say anything? Do I really need to fucking say anything, at this point? People talk their shit, they fail to learn from past experiences, they get put on their ass and I’m the one that does it. Kudos to Little Baby Darling, you got your licks in."
She looks at her blood stained towel and holds it up for the camera to see.
Mai Blackman: "Congratulations. You drew first blood. Hell, you drew second blood. But I just proved to an entire audience and everyone watching at home; you can get fucked up in a fight and still walk out with the other bitch laying. All it takes? Is one shot."
Mai shorts and holds up a finger with a cocky smirk.
Mai Blackman: "Just one. I told you, Blaze. I told you, whether it was by submission or knockout, your ass was going to sleep tonight. I just hope you said your prayers before you got that goodnight kiss out there. Now…"
She drops her hand and hangs her towel over her neck, blood be damned.
Mai Blackman: "I’m not gonna sit here and ramble on about who the baddest bitch on Fusion is and why it’s me. Everyone knows it. I keep proving it. What I am gonna do is go take a shower, maybe or maybe not get drunk…"
Mai pauses and looks back at Cherry then to the camera.
Mai Blackman: "...and likely get the rest of my frustrations out. Zion Management can call me when they have something worth my time. Till then?"
She throws up a middle finger and thrusts her chin up at the camera before turning and heading off with Cherry moving to follow her.
The night of Bloodsport was here, a card full of amazing violence for everyone to be able to see. The camera panned to the normal looking Genesis of Destruction locker room, but this time designed to replicate a training camp. A banner with Hana Kaneko's name and picture could be seen as she was sitting in a metal chair wrapping up both of her hands and wrists. The sound of the ongoing show could be heard in the background as Kaneko hadn't said a word yet which was what the main point of this was. She took a look around the room, glancing over at the other members of the group then sighed. Hana had looked directly at the camera now when she was done with her match preparation.
𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀: “So…Bloodsport. Cage of Survival. Some of you don't know what that exactly is, so I'll explain that to you guys. The Cage of Survival is a place where nobody can get in the ring once the match begins, and nobody can leave once the second bell rings. There's no door on that cage. Me and my opponent will get in the ring, and the cage will be lowered. I asked for this specifically, because I want it to be one-on-one. I know that if given the chance, despite my request, this bunch would try to get involved with the match.”
Hana took another look around the room, specifically to look at each of the other members of Genesis of Destruction. She did even glare over at ISIS, due to the result of the recent tag team outing with Hana and Eden. Hana was aware that her current attitude might not rub the others the right way, but she didn't care about that currently. She wanted to settle this match without any kind of assistance.
𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀: “The cage will also be set up like Hell in a Cell, with there being enough room to get things from under the ring. Oh, also, the cage is rigged to where if one of us slam against it, there will be an explosion. There can be anything under the ring, really. Standard things like chairs, tables, Kendo sticks, bats, stuff like that. But then there's more unique things. Barbed Wire, thumbtacks, mouse traps, glass, forks, knives, so many things under there that could be used against each other, Nadia. I'm rather excited for this, because I think the two of us are an interesting matchup that will only end with one of us being able to get out of that cage.”
Hana paused for a moment, placing a hand on her face where she used her pointer finger to tap her own lips a few times as if she was looking for what she would say next. She sighed again, a hand moving through her own hair that wasn't put up yet.
𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀: “My time here in Zion has been an interesting one. Plenty of ups and plenty of downs, but I see this as a way to start fresh. This Cage of Survival could decide what happens next, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that I'm the one that will be able to get out of the cage on my own feet. I have no doubt this will be a war to see who is able to survive, and I want to see it all out the way, one on one. Well, it's time to stop talking, now. We are going to settle things how they should be settled.”
Hana sighed again, then got up from her chair. She turned to her stablemates, giving them a simple nod before she left the room, the scene fading away with the door to the dressing room closing.
Darrion Hughes: *The following contest is a Cage of Survival match, scheduled for One Fall!*
The lights dimmed as the music started, a slow music box tune filling the arena along with a female Japanese voice slowly singing over it. The crowd waited in anticipation as the slow music continued, soon the vocals came to a stop and the music box continued for a few more seconds. When that stopped, the music suddenly turned into a more fast paced rock style track, the lights brightening up to mixed colors of red, green, and gold. Once the main vocals of the song kicked in, Hana Kaneko walked out on the stage, looking around at the crowd with the colorful Kitsune mask covering her face. In one hand, she had her sword in it, resting it on her shoulder as she walked to the ring, looking down at the floor as she walked at the same pace of the music, meeting the halfway point of the ramp once the chorus began.
Darrion Hughes: *Introducing first, from Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, the Golden Flower. . . HANA! KANEKO! *
Her name being announced didn't have an affect on her, keeping her focus on getting to the ring as she would soon get to the ringside area, placing the sword down on the apron to then slide it into the ring before going over to the ring steps and walking up those to get into the ring. Once she picked the sword up again, she took it out of it's sheath, pointing the sword towards the camera while she looked around to the people again, sighing as she then pointed the sword back down, going over to her corner where she put it down, along with taking off her mask and the jacket that she came out in.
The lights dim a bit and the opening to "Underground" blares over the PA system.
I try and get some love from up high
There just ain't enough to go around
The guitar and drums ring out and smoke fills up on the ramp. A figure appears like a silhouette in the smoke and out of it is Nadia Allen. Wearing a black leather hoodie, with a black mouthpiece dangling from her mouth. Nadia turns to her left and right, facing the crowd, before she starts her stroll down the ramp.
*Introducing next, from San Francisco, California, Nasty. . . NADIA! ALLEN!*
Amber Westgate: Nadia Allen coming to the ring with extra determination tonight, looking to make Hana Kaneko the latest night crossed off her hit list for the Genesis of Destruction!
Adam LaRue: And apparently willing to go to extreme lengths in order to do it! These types of matches can take years off of a wrestler’s career, yet neither of these competitors are stepping into the cage with any hesitation!
Nadia walks purposefully down the ring, occasionally knuckle pounding a few fans in the front row. She turns to each fan as they cheer her as she nods. She circles around the ring, slowly. When she reaches the steel steps, she stretches a bit with her eyes on the ring. Sprinting up the steps, she turns to the crowd. She glares at them, lowering the hood of her jacket and looks around the crowd.
Nadia lets out a yell and balls up her fist as the crowd roars. She then enters the ring, galloping a bit. Eventually, she slips out of her jacket and hands it to the ringside assistant outside. She puts in her mouth guard before sitting on the second turnbuckle with a tightened expression.
The bell rang to begin the match with Hana Kaneko and Nadia Allen stared at each other who both knew the danger of this Cage. The two of them instantly rolled out of the ring to go for weapons early while they were on opposite sides of the cage. Nadia went for a traditional weapon, a Kendo stick where Hana went for a light tube. The two of them got back in the ring, keeping the stare that the two of them had while they held their weapons ready to strike. Hana swung her light tube first with Nadia ducking the swing then swung for the fences with the Kendo stick as Hana got out of the way of that too. Allen then kicked the hand of Hana to get the tube out of her hand making it fall to the mat without breaking as she followed that up with a knee to the midsection where Nadia slammed the Kendo stick down onto the back of Hana, causing her to squirm in pain as she remained hunched over. Nadia slammed the stick down again over the back of her opponent making her fall down to a knee where Allen saw the opportunity to wind the stick back, swinging it like a baseball bat right into the head of Hana! She crumbled down to the mat as Nadia looked on with a devilish smile on her face. She went for a cover after that, getting a two count before Kaneko got her shoulder up as Allen was back up to her feet. She got Kaneko back up and threw her into the corner where she ran and connected with a running forearm smash, letting the opponent fall down to a seated position where Nadia didn't take long to come back running and connect with a knee strike to a seated Hana Kaneko in the corner. Nadia pulled Hana back to her feet where she tried to begin to fight back with multiple forearm strikes to the head of Nadia but was ultimately silenced when Allen hit a Discus Forearm Smash sending Hana back down to the mat. She then went out of the ring to grab a few more things, sliding a few chairs into the ring along with a trash can. Nadia got up on the apron but wasn't aware that Kaneko was waiting, running towards Allen to connect with a Shotgun Dropkick which sent her back into the cage!
Sparks and smoke filled the air as Kaneko looked along at what she just did, kneeling in the ring as she took a second to recover herself. She rolled out of the ring to retrieve Nadia then threw her back into the ring under the bottom rope while Kaneko climbed back to the apron where she was waiting for Nadia to get back to her feet to be able to Springboard back into the ring with a Shotgun Dropkick! Due to the momentum Nadia stumbled back into the corner where Kaneko dashed to the same corner where she connected with a Lariat on Allen, snapmering her down to the mat where she ran to the ropes to come back with a dropkick to the back of the head. Kaneko attempted a cover but only got a one and a half count. Hana rushed back to her feet where she went over and grabbed a chair where she slammed it down on the back of Allen causing her to roll around the mat in pain. Kaneko then waited to have Nadia get to her feet where she swung the chair right at the head of Allen hitting her hard enough make a dent in the chair. Hana threw the chair away before she had taken a second to breathe then climbed onto the apron where she waited again, jumping onto the top rope but Allen popped up and shoved Hana backwards to cause her body to crash into the cage! More smoke filled the ringside area as Allen didn't waste time to get out of the ring and throw Hana back inside with Nadia following shortly after. She got her back to her feet where she threw a Backfist and connected, once Hana turned around Allen had used this opportunity to grab the waist of her opponent to throw her back with a Snap German Suplex right onto the trash can! She kept the bridge to go for a cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Kaneko kicked out! Nadia didn't waste any time to get back on her feet and out of the ring to get her next weapon of choice which first appeared to be a long cardboard box which was slid into the ring. Once Allen got back into the ring she opened the box to reveal it to be filled with light tubes as she picked one of them out of the box seeing Hana getting back to her feet where Nadia swung it and slammed it right into the head of Hana! The tube broke as Hana fell back down to the mat while her blood started to spill while Nadia grabbed another few light tubes to lay them down on the mat and grabbed the body of Hana to get her back up. She tried for an STO but Kaneko threw multiple elbows to the side of the head to break that up. Out of nowhere Hana had hit a Bicycle Knee Strike to the jaw of Allen which made her stumble back to the ropes where she stumbled back to the middle of the ring with Hana running to the other set of ropes to jump on the middle, coming back with a Springboard Cutter! Both Nadia's face and Hana's back slammed into the light tubes with both of them in clear pain. Hana went for a cover and Nadia kicked out at two! Hana rushed to the top rope where she was ready to attack, jumping off to slam her feet into the midsection of Allen with a Double Foot Stomp. Instead of going for a cover she picked up Nadia from behind and grabbed her wrist attempting a Ripcord Lariat but Nadia reversed once she was spun around turning it into an STO! Nadia goes for her own cover but Kaneko was able to kick out at two! Nadia picked Hana back up where she slammed her right back down with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Nadia slipped back out of the ring where she pushed a glass pane in the ring, getting back in then delivered a few stomps to Kaneko. Nadia threw Hana into the corner so that she could have time to plan her next attack. She set up two chairs and put the glass pane on the chairs making a makeshift table with the glass pane Nadia had a wicked grin on her face.
Allen rushed to the corner but Kaneko was ready where she kicked Nadia to stop all of her momentum as she fell down to a knee. Hana then stepped away to grab a light tube as she looked at Nadia who was in a kneeling position where she was looking to get revenge from earlier in the match as she swung the light tube with the same baseball bat motion to slam it into the head of Nadia! Kaneko then got Allen back to her feet where she turned her around and grabbed the wrist, spinning her around where she hit a Ripcord Lariat! Bladestopper connects. Hana went into a cover and Nadia kicked out at two and a half! She got Nadia back up to her feet but Nadia pushed her away, connecting with another Discus Forearm. Kaneko staggered back where Allen then connected with a Scoop Brainbuster! She went into the cover as Hana got out at the last second! Allen thought about what was next to do and she had that idea instantly. She dragged Kaneko into the corner with the glass pane table and lifted her to the second rope where Nadia threw a few strikes to stun Hana. She then got on the middle rope with her, looking for a big move. Kaneko came to, fighting back with forearms as now Allen and Kaneko were trading shots with both of them on the middle rope. The two of them went back and forth until Hana broke through with a headbutt stunning Nadia long enough to pick her body into a position over her shoulder. Hana yelled out before she jumped off the middle rope with Nadia still over her shoulder and twisted her body to slam her down with a Headless Swordswoman through the glass pane table! Hana took a second to shake off the impact where she hooked the leg of Allen to attempt a cover.
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: *Here is your winner, Hana Kaneko!*
Amber Westgate: This match was brutal, it was bloody, it was sometimes hard to watch! But in the end, Hana Kaneko pulled it off! Hana Kaneko gets the victory!
Adam LaRue: These two made “Cage of Survival” live up to its namesake! I honestly can’t tell if either of them really won here! They’re both beaten up!
Hana lies next to Allen on the mat, with the referee having to resort to kneeling down beside her and raising her arm that way! She eventually, and very slowly, makes her way to her feet, raising her arm in the air as we fade!
The lights dimmed as the music started, a slow music box tune filling the arena along with a female Japanese voice slowly singing over it.

RESULT: PINFALL (HEADLESS SWORDSWOMAN)
“I was kinda feeling down for a while there.”
These words are followed by the feed coming to the sight of Nao Saegusa. Dressed in a jean and hoodie, she sits back in what looks like a gaming chair, looking ahead to the camera.
“That might be surprising to hea-or…”
She pauses, letting out a little laugh.
“Maybe not so surprising at this point. I’ve been kind of a downer for a while now, I’m aware.”
She rubs the back of her head bashfully.
“But, either way. What I mean this time is feeling down after facing Kaitlin. I put my heart and soul into that match, everything I could muster, and it…wasn’t enough. Third time this year I’ve been choked unconscious!”
She lets out a sigh.
“And that…stung. It hurt. It’s why I didn’t say anything after it, no declarations of how I was gonna keep fighting. I was, the fight is never-ending, but sometimes you got to just…sit for a while, let it rebuild in your heart. That’s what I was doing. I was just waiting to see what match I’d get next, what was gonna be next for me. I was gonna be myself again in no time, I’m sure. But then something funny happened. I got put into that battle royale to determine who’d get the next shot at Kaitlin.”
She leans back in her chair, shaking her head.
“I won’t lie! My thought was absolutely “...why am I in this?”, after all I had just come up short against her. I didn’t think it was fair, let someone else get a chance to earn this shot. I was back of the line and that was something I was gonna have to accept. Didn’t say any of that, because I didn’t want to vocalize my down feelings. But then something even funnier happened when that match went down.”
It changes from the view of Nao to footage from the match, specifically the moment Kaitlin Williams decided to help choose her own next challenger by yanking Nao down and eliminating her. When it cuts back to Nao there’s the starting embers of a smile coming to the edges of her lips.
“Kaitlin eliminated me. And that got me thinking.”
She leans forward a bit.
“Why? I know what she said was why, she’s so helpful isn’t she? But, this isn’t about whether or not I believe that, no no. Because at the end of the day…it was Kaitlin Williams, one of the best in Zion, someone who’s already beaten me but despite that she eliminated me so she wouldn’t have to have another match with me. No matter the reason she says, once I got that in my head, I felt strangely…reassured. There’s something uniquely affirming in someone so talented doing something so there isn’t another match between you and them. And you know what?”
A smile.
“I started feeling better. I started feeling good. I started feeling…familiar. I felt like I was back in my own skin, and my slumbering heart was suddenly reignited. That’s why I went out there last week. I don’t know what the referee thought was gonna happen but I wasn’t trying to start anything. I just wanted to say thank you to her. Because if one of the best in Zion didn’t want a second go-around, then there must be SOMETHING to me, right? Something that can still go farther, further, grow even better, and if one of the best didn’t want to run into that again then why would I mope, when I could instead be becoming that very thing she doesn’t want to see.”
She sits back in the chair and that smile is actively morphing from a simple smile to something else.
“So that’s what I’ll do. Grow, improve, become stronger, until that unstoppable existence that didn’t want to see me again has to. And I’m so strong that I confirm she was right to not want that, and win. A great victory, a flashy comeback from the lows of loss.”
That morphing completes as the smile turns into a grin so very familiar.
“Perfectly fitting for a Hero.”
And with a wink towards one woman in very particular, the feed cuts.
These words are followed by the feed coming to the sight of Nao Saegusa. Dressed in a jean and hoodie, she sits back in what looks like a gaming chair, looking ahead to the camera.

“I started feeling better. I started feeling good. I started feeling…familiar. I felt like I was back in my own skin, and my slumbering heart was suddenly reignited. That’s why I went out there last week. I don’t know what the referee thought was gonna happen but I wasn’t trying to start anything. I just wanted to say thank you to her. Because if one of the best in Zion didn’t want a second go-around, then there must be SOMETHING to me, right? Something that can still go farther, further, grow even better, and if one of the best didn’t want to run into that again then why would I mope, when I could instead be becoming that very thing she doesn’t want to see.”
She sits back in the chair and that smile is actively morphing from a simple smile to something else.
“So that’s what I’ll do. Grow, improve, become stronger, until that unstoppable existence that didn’t want to see me again has to. And I’m so strong that I confirm she was right to not want that, and win. A great victory, a flashy comeback from the lows of loss.”
That morphing completes as the smile turns into a grin so very familiar.
“Perfectly fitting for a Hero.”
And with a wink towards one woman in very particular, the feed cuts.

RESULT: SUBMISSION (50 SHADES OF PAIN)
We transition backstage. ISIS, fresh off her victory against Jessi Osbourne that saw everyone the current champion drive Jessi through a flaming table with Welcome to Dystopia, can be seen being checked out in the trainer's room. The God of Destruction is on the trainers table, eyes closed, she is allowing the doctor to perform their routine test. Feels like her mind is elsewhere at the moment. Without much warning, the door can be heard creaking open, to the surprise of everyone watching, the current NFW World Champion, Alastair Frost walks into the room. The medic looks like they want to say something, one look from Alastair causes them to reconsider the words that might have left their lips. The medic leaves the room to give Alastair some time with his fellow Wolf of Odinn partner.
Alastair Frost: It shows that you have earned your place in the Wolves so far and proved that Jessi doesn’t deserve to be a champion. She couldn’t handle me in a regular match in NFW nor could she handle you in an unconventional style match for the Gateway title.
ISIS: She’s good. What she learned tonight was she isn’t the main character in her own ascension to wrestling immortality. She is just another victim on my rise to the ultimate prize. With Jessi licking her wounds, there is no more time to waste.
ISIS looks down at her Zion Gateway Championship with a smile. Alastair adjusted the NFW World title as he could tell that Isis’s mind was elsewhere but he knew his VP needed the support.
Alastair Frost: You are a strong woman and strong champion. Do not allow that to deter you from your path in the world, inside the ring and outside of it. I may hate people but I am here as a fellow Wolf and someone who has gone through my own shit in life.
ISIS: I appreciate it, Alastair.
ISIS slowly slides off the table. She grabs her Zion Gateway Championship, placing it on her shoulder.
ISIS: My job is done. Lets get out of here.
Alastair nods. Both ISIS and Alastair leave the trainers room as the scene fades to black.
You know, I wasn’t born Into this business… I don’t have a rich wrestling family heritage… I currently don’t have anyone to fight for my back in Zion, I don’t have anyone to trust in this industry but that’s alright… Because what I have come to realize is that this industry truly is a pirate's life for you and I… Traveling from country to country, City to city, Scrapping the hardest motherfuckers each company has to offer until we are the ones that raise our hands in victory, holding someone else’s precious gold… And In this pirate's life of mine I have packed a ton of learning and a ton of experience in my short career so much information and so much skill that I have been dubbed by many of my peers The Young OG… These same “legendary” peers thanked me for my work… Because I was able to show them… I was able to remind them why they love professional wrestling…
Now I ain’t trying to toot my own horn, I am simply trying to give you all a little insight onto who I am and how I think. Don’t look at my age and think less of me, Although I'm nineteen years of age I do things in that ring that older vets dreamed of doing. I have a unique style, one that skyrocketed British Wrestling many moons ago under the original innovator and my trainer… I am not just here to shake things up in Zion I am here to sink the fucking boat! All the respect to Jordan Majors… All the love to Kaitlin Williams… But they’re holding some big and shiny pieces of treasure … And as I previously stated… It’s a pirate's life for me! If I am to die in my efforts of becoming a champion…don’t take me to a hospital… Take me to a wrestling ring… As this industry is what runs through my veins ! Ladies and Gentlemen keep your eyes on Zion, most importantly, keep your eyes on me. Because if you blink? You’ll miss that perfect picture opportunity. . . I am That Young OG, Boys and girls I am Trey Wilde… And i’m Different fucking Gravy, Line up and come get a taste…
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is an Inferno match! The only way to win this match is to set your opponent on fire!
Crowd: Fire it up! Fire it up! Fire it up!
The opening to "Enjoy The Silence" by Lacuna Coil begins to play over the PA system as the arena plunges into darkness. As soon as the guitar and drums kick in, a spotlight appears on the stage to find Samuel Lopez standing there wearing a Jason Voorhees mask, his manager Dr. Castiel Talbot standing beside him with his walking cane. Lopez then begins to slowly make his way down the ramp while Talbot follows.
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first, he weighs in at 240 pounds and hails from Hayesville, North Carolina…accompanied by Dr. Castiel Talbot…
Once he reaches the ring, Lopez slides under the bottom rope on his front and moves his way to the center of the ring on his closed fists until he reaches the center while Talbot makes his way up the steel steps and climbs through the ropes and into the ring. Lopez then slowly stands upright while slowly removing his mask as the camera zooms in on his wide, blank stare into the camera as Talbot takes the mask from him and "Enjoy The Silence" fades out.
Darrion Hughes: He is…SAMUEL LOPEZ!!!
The lights go down and then red lights blink on the stage as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart begins to play.
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a…
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a Warrior!
Darrion Hughes: Next weighing in at 130 pounds and hailing from Chicago, Illinois; she is the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
A spotlight shines on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors from behind, arms outstretched. She turns around right as the guitar riffs and pumps a fist with a smile across her face. She looks out at the crowd and nods a few times before she begins walking down the ramp.
Darrion Hughes: Representing the Queens of Chaos…JORDAN MAJORS!!!
Jordan keeps her eyes on the ring as she heads down the rampway. She gets to the bottom of the ramp and surveys the crowd once more before running and sliding into the ring. She stays on her stomach. She leans on her elbows and kicks her feet behind her before rolling to her feet. Jordan runs and jumps up on the nearest corner and puts one arm up as she looks out at the crowd and nods her head.
As soon as the bell sounded for the match to start, flames surrounded the ring, getting a very brief worried look from Jordan though that quickly dissipated from her face. Samuel’s face remained stoic when the flame sprang up, and Jordan just shook her head at the calmness that the man showed. She watched him for a second before she charged at him for a dropkick which connected. Samuel barely moved from the move, however, and Jordan looked at him with a look of disbelief on her face once she was back to her feet. Majors backed up a bit, being wary of the flames as she did. She charged at Lopez, looking to hit a running DDT, but before she could jump to grab him, Majors was met with a big boot from Lopez that sent her to the mat. She was quick to get back to her feet, but he grabbed her and executed a beautiful German suplex, sending her crashing back down to the mat by the ropes. When she noticed that she was near the flames, Jordan quickly moved away, careful not to touch the fire that was set ablaze on the apron.
Amber Westgate: Jordan was smart in moving away quickly. She was a little too close to the fire for comfort! The heat radiating off of the flames is intense even at this distance…I can’t imagine what it’s like in the ring.
Adam LaRue: Lopez looks almost at home surrounded by the flames. He seemed almost pleased at the match type when it was announced.
Jordan was on her feet, looking between the flames, ropes, and Samuel as she thought about her next move. She ran towards the ropes near Lopez and launched herself off of them, being careful of the flames, to go for a springboard clothesline. She was able to hit the move, finally sending him stumbling a bit but not a lot. It was enough for Jordan as it gave her some extra oomph for the match. She went to grab him to send him into the corner, but he pulled back against her and nailed her with a short arm clothesline, taking the champion by surprise. She scrambled back to her feet. She knew better than to stay down for too long if she could help it since that would give her opponent the upper hand. Being the daredevil that she was, Jordan decided to use the ropes to her advantage still, being as careful as possible while doing it. She ran at the ropes and launched herself off of them again. With this launch, she grabbed Samuel and hit a beautifully executed springboard DDT!
Amber Westgate: Majors taking some risks in this match, but it seems to be working in her favor!
Adam LaRue: For how long, though? You can only take risks like that for so long before it comes back to bite you in the ass.
Jordan was quickly back to her feet with Samuel not far behind her, much to her chagrin. Sweat was now running down foreheads from the heat of the flames that surrounded them as the two looked at each other, neither moving for a moment. Finally, Lopez nailed Majors with a hard headbutt, sending the smaller of the two stumbling back and holding her head as she did. He scooped her up and threw her back hard with a fallaway slam that sent her flying across the ring! She shook her head a few times before getting back to her feet, side-eyeing the fire that she was close to. When she turned her full attention to the match again, she saw Samuel coming towards her, and she nailed him hard in the chest with a superkick! He stumbled back a few steps from the impact, but Lopez didn’t go down like Jordan was hoping he would which seemed to frustrate her.
Amber Westgate: Jordan has to be wondering what it’s going to take to be able to get Samuel into the flames to win this match. She seems to be getting frustrated at this point.
Adam LaRue: And that’s what you can’t do when facing someone like Lopez. All that will do is leave an opening for him to steal the win.
Majors was breathing heavily, the heat and match itself starting to take a toll on her while Lopez came across as barely winded. He threw himself against the ropes, going for Silent Night, but Jordan ducked under the clothesline from Hell to avoid the devastating move! As Samuel turned around, Jordan jumped up and nailed him with Chapter 11! The move sent him falling back towards the ropes, and a follow-up superkick from Jordan to his chest sent him into them. Without realizing how close he was, his body weight shifted the ropes back too far, and his shirt caught fire from the flames! The bell sounded to end the match as the flames from the ring were put out, but Lopez ignored it as he shoved himself off of the ropes and towards Jordan again! It was unsure what he was going to do, but Jordan caught him with Cash Out, sending him crashing to the mat where someone from ringside quickly put out the flame on his back.
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner…and STILL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION…JORDAAAAN MAAAAAAJORS!!!
Amber Westgate: In probably one her most heated matches to date, Jordan Majors vanquishes Samuel Lopez to retain the World Championship!
Adam LaRue: I see what you did there, Amber! Nevertheless, it’s performances like these that have cemented Jordan Majors’ place as the greatest World Champion Zion’s ever seen!
The flames come down from around the ring as Majors celebrates, raising the World Championship over her head as we fade!
Crowd: Fire it up! Fire it up! Fire it up!

RESULT: INFERNO
We cut back to the Queens of Chaos Locker Room, where we have Devyn Mitchell on standby with a microphone. She’s positioned in front of Jessi Ozborne still wiping blood from her face as Kaya and Lilith Parker stand by her.
Devyn Mitchell: Jessi…I just wanted to get your thoughts. You had just been through a grueling match, where you failed—
Jessi Ozborne: Did I?
Devyn takes a brief pause to take in what Jessi said.
Devyn: Well—
Jessi Ozborne: No, it’s a serious question. Did I? All this time ISIS has been treating me as though I’m lesser-than. A mere mortal in the presence of a God. But let me ask you something, Dev: Do you know of any “mere mortal” who can make God bleed? Any “mere mortal” that can make God sweat, because God struck em down and they got back up again? Any “mere mortal” that made God dig down deep into Hell, because the fire and brimstone is the only thing that could subdue them?
The room falls silent for a moment, with Jessi awaiting an answer she doesn’t receive.
Jessi Ozborne: Didn’t think so.
Jessi looks dead into the lens of the camera as she continues.
Jessi Ozborne: ISIS…you are a lot of things…powerful, intelligent, tough, I’ll give you all of those. You are every bit as good as you say you are. But one thing you’re not…is invincible.
Jessi turns back to Devyn and her microphone.
Jessi Ozborne: You are not invincible, and while it makes my heart heavy to say that I wasn’t the one to knock you off your perch, I can also say that I’ve proven that knocking you off your perch isn’t as impossible as you make it out to be. I may not have been the one to do it, but I know that someday, someone will. Could be tomorrow, could be next week, next month, next year. The season may change, but one thing’ll remain the same: When that day comes, I will be there, seated in the front row, and ready to be the first person to laugh in your face.
Jessi chuckles at the thought she just planted in her head.
Jessi Ozborne: And the sweetest thing about it? Is that you won’t do a damn thing about it. Because I can guaran-damn-tee you that when that day comes, you ain’t gonna have it in you to get lucky against me a second time. That’s not a threat, that’s a promise! And when The Queen promises, she damn well delivers! Talk to em, Lil!
Jessi immediately brings the attention of the camera over to Lilith Parker. Lilith laughs as she looks into the camera and she takes a bite at it.
Lilith Parker: See, when we were asked, we came. I don't think it was that which drives me. ISIS, we've been watching as you beat down our friends while we fought and clawed through everyone, and now we are going to come here to help the Queens dominate.
Kaya then steps out from the shadows looking at the two. She laughs as she holds up the rose that she was carrying taking a small bite on it.
"The Poison Rose" Kaya Parker: Don't worry, God. Our friends have been doing well, we figured we would give Jessi and the other girls the back up they need. We're gonna take what's ours and Jessi now has her beauties to back her up. And we will be there for her as she needs us.
Kaya throws her rose at the feet of the cameraman, then goes silent.
Jessi Ozborne: This right here is the beginning of the end. ISIS, The Genesis of Destruction, it all goes. It all starts two weeks from now. Since ISIS’ goons seem to want a fight, we’re gonna give them one at Fusion 107. Because the future…
Jessi gets to her feet, hardly being able to do so as Kaya and Lilith help to keep her upright.
Jessi Ozborne: …is paved in gold.
With those words, the trio take off as we fade.
Adam LaRue: Well, Amber, have you had a chance to catch your breath, yet?! I know this has been a wild episode of Fusion so far!
Amber Westgate: That it has, Adam! But next week’s Fusion is set to be wilder and it all starts with our opening match for Fusion 106! Kimberly Williams has been stalking around for weeks with the now defunct Hardcore Championship, and next week, she wants to put on the line against any and all comers! Starting the show, it will be Kimberly Williams’ Hardcore Invitational!
Adam LaRue: The Queen of Strong Style Champion, Risa Lemon, returns to the Blue brand next week, as she looks to make up for lost time by defending her gold against The Queen herself, Legion!
Amber Westgate: We got a taste of Different Gravy earlier tonight! But next week, we get to see the Young OG himself in action! Trey Wilde makes his Fusion debut on episode 106!
Adam LaRue: And in the Main Event, after weeks of screwy finishes between them, these two teams look to settle the score! Thotline Miami takes on D.R.E.A.M. in a match that ensures that any screwiness is left off the table and the playing field is evened! Next week, they go to war in a No Holds Barred Tornado Tag Team Match All that and more on Fusion 106!
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is a First Blood Elimination Match…and it is for the Zion Wrestling UNDISPUTED! TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONSHIPS!
The tron would glitch out, as the tempo of Sabotage would pick up whilst the crowd would sing the two to the ring as they would hype up the crowd whilst making their way down the ramp and slapping the fan's hands down the way.
"Iiiiiiii can't stand it!
I know ya planned it!
I'ma set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking, when I'm in here!
Cause ya crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So, while ya sit back and wonder why
I got this fuckin thorn in my side!
Oh my God, it's a mirage!
I'm telling ya'll, it's SABOTAAAAGE!!!"
As the breakdown hits, the two enter the ring while viking to the record scratching and baseline of their theme, as the two hacktivists would pose briefly as their theme would start to fade out while they're readying for their opponent.
IT ANGELICA’S WORLD
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
Superficial by Heidi Montang hits the public address as the fans boo loudly as a long stretch pink VW beetle arrives by the entrance area, as it stops the driver pops up, and opens and soon exiting the beetle with help is Angelica Matthews and Daria Dorsey, who look at the audience with a look of disgust on their faces. Wearing a bright pink fur robe, with bright pink Hollywood sunglasses covering her eyes, Angelica saunters out as the lights dim and a spotlight follows her and Daria around. As Angelica takes the time to yell at the fans or try to touch her and tell security to keep their hands away from her, Dorsey walks by her side. As The Princess makes her way to the ringside steps with both hands out in the talk-to-the-hand motion, she looks around at an attendance with a sneer before finding a stagehand and handing them a pink vial of perfume, demanding they spray down the stairs and apron for her. Meanwhile, Dorsey simply rolls into the ring, coming to Angelica’s side as the two pose together.
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first, the challengers…from Coney Island, New York…at a combined weight to 299 lbs…the team of Austin St. Croix and Sayge Gonzalez…The! DataDames!
And their opponents…at a combined weight of 279 lbs…they are the Zion Wrestling UNDISPUTED! TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONS!...Angelica Matthews and Daria! Dorsey!
Amber Westgate: The Dames definitely not a fan of being referred to as the challengers here, especially after such a brief time as the champions!
Adam LaRue: I’m sure they’re dislike for their opponents far outweigh any of that, specifically Daria Dorsey!
Amber Westgate: Once the best of friends now turned into the bitterest of rivals! It all comes to a head in our Main Event for the night!
Daria and Angelica were discussing strategy, as Sayge had no discourse for that, blindsiding them both immediately, not wasting time, as she wanted both of their heads. She would knock them both off the apron for an early ambush. Austin would run along the outside to hit Angelica with a running knee, as the bell has yet to ring. Their anger was getting the better of them, though, any early licks were worth getting in.
Amber Westgate
"The Datadames aren't giving any quarter in this match, and really want those titles back."
Adam LaRue
"As they should, they're the most prestigious titles for any team in the business."
Austin would grab Angelica by her hair and throw a pair of forearms in her face, as Sayge would get Daria up to toss her into the steel steps, as she collided into them, rolling over and landing hard on her back. She goes over to bring Daria to her feet, as Sayge would lift her up to drop Daria on her abdomen over the railing, before she grabbed her by the waist and followed up with a German Suplex. Austin would go for a move of her own, but Angelica would manage to slip out and smash Austin face first into the post.
Amber Westgate
"Big escape there by Angelica Matthews."
Adam LaRue
"That's the chaos you need to win a match like this!"
With Austin dazed, Angelica would toss her into the ring, as she ran to Sayge, who was reaching under the ring for a chair. As Sayge gets the weapon, she is met with a big running dropkick by Angelica Matthews that knocks her on her back. Daria would think quickly, as she goes under the ring for a kendo stick while Angelica was keeping her occupied with a series of stomps onto her. She would then place her boot on Sayge's face to rake it against her forehead disrespectfully, before setting her up for a big piledriver into the downed chair. She tries to lift her up, but Sayge has none of it and lifts her overhead for a big back body drop. She turned around, into a big home run swing from Daria with the kendo stick across her face, as the echo could be heard in the cheap seats.
Amber Westgate
"What a hit!"
Daria didn't have much time to celebrate, as Austin ascended the top turnbuckle behind her, as she leapt down to strike Daria dead center of the chest with a diving savate kick and laying her out. She would shout out "Let's fucking Go!!!", as the crowd popped for the big kick.
Adam LaRue
"Austin with the big action movie kick out of nowhere! Eat your heart out, Jean Claude Van-Damme."
Austin gets Daria back into the ring, as she goes to isolate her, and gets the chair off the ground, before tossing it into the ring. She would get the weapon in her hand, as Daria would scramble back to try and beg for forgiveness. She would get on her knees to try and talk down Austin, who was wanting to try and salvage their friendship. Austin hesitated, and acted like Daria was getting to her by lowering the chair, before she tossed it at Daria, who catches it, but eats a spinning back kick from Austin, who sends the chair into her face, as the crowd was behind her with another big cheer.
Amber Westgate
"She saw right through her ploy, good for her!"
Adam LaRue
"Better late than never, after all."
St. Croix goes to get another weapon, as Sayge on the outside would toss her a nightstick, and telling her to have fun, before she has Angelica on the outside, and grabs her by the hair to fight in the crowd. The two of them would walk and brawl through the audience, as a spotlight is kept on them as action goes on in the ring. Dorsey is dazed by the big hit to her earlier, as St. Croix would lift her up for the Ushigaroshi, though Daria would land on her feet behind her, and shoved Austin into the official, as they bump heads with official Heather Young, and she's out.
Amber Westgate
"Big evasion by Daria, and the ref is down."
Adam LaRue
"Pinfalls won't matter, though, you gotta make your opponent bleed!"
Daria would get the chair she was struck with earlier, as she readied to attack Austin with it. She goes overhead, looking to bring it down on Austin, but, it's deflected by the nightstick. Austin would then quickly crack Daria in the jaw with it, as she staggered back to the corner, and slumped down. Austin swapped the tonfa for the chair and raised it up. She gets a running start, before dropping kicking it into Daria's face, as she covers herself, having been busted open by the attack.
Amber Westgate
"Daria's cut open!"
Adam LaRue
"But, with the ref out, she's not formally eliminated just yet."
We go back to outside the ring, as Sayge had attacked Angelica up to the upper section of the crowd, as she was setting up for the CTRL + Alt + Delete on the concrete, though, Angelica shoved her away into the guard rail. Angelica would then slam her face first into the railing, to make her way back down. Back in the ring, Daria is wounded, as Austin would look back at the fight going on momentarily, as Daria charged at her. She tackled Austin down, going for a series of blows to the face, in a fit of rage for busting her open, as she transitioned into a bicep slicer, placing pressure on her arm, as Daria stared down at Austin while her blood would drip onto her face, as a devious idea began to form. The official began to come to, as Daria would wipe some of the blood off her face onto Austin's while she was in the hold, as Heather was starting to come to her senses.
Amber Westgate
"Oh, not this way…"
Heather would notice both of their faces were cut, and Austin was cleaning herself up. But in the heat of the moment, there was silence, and then a crunch. Austin has a curdling scream, as Daria would instinctively break her forearm to neutralize her. Heather would throw an X out to the timekeeper, and gesture medical staff in, as Sayge sees this with a jaw dropped in sheer bewilderment.
Darrion Hughes
"Daria Dorsey and Austin St. Croix have been eliminated!"
It had been announced, as Daria would walk out on her free will to deafening boos from the crowd, while a pair of medical officers would rush to the ring to help Austin to the infirmary.
Adam LaRue
"That is absolutely sickening! What a showing of unsportsmanlike conduct!"
Amber Westgate
"And just like that, we're down to two in this match. I think I'm gonna be sick…"
Sayge would be clubbed in the back by Angelica, who would be just as heartless, as she would grind Sayge's face along the rail on the way down like she was Tony Hawk. As she made her way back down, she tossed her over the railing and back to the outside of the ring, Angelica would get back in, and readied her ring. She was ready to take this home, as Sayge was still awestruck by what happened earlier. She started to get up, as Angelica would use her ring to run across her forehead, and grating at it until she was cut, while holding her hair. Heather sees Sayge bleeding, and calls for the bell.
Darrion Hughes
"Ladies and gentlemen, Sayge Gonzalez has been eliminated. Therefore, your winners and still the Zion Tag Team Champions, Daria Dorsey and Angelica! Matthews!
Amber Westgate: Congratulations go out to the retaining champions, but we really need to get some medical assistance out here for Austin St. Croix…
Adam LaRue: This doesn’t look good in the slightest, Amber. I expected a lot out of Daria Dorsey coming into tonight, but definitely not on this level. What a terrible, terrible, terrible thing to do to someone that you once called your friend.
Daria stands tall, looking down at a hurt St. Croix with slight remorse crossing her face. That instantly gets away, as Angelica Matthews jumps in to give her a hug whilst handing over her Tag Team Championship belt. Dorsey begins to braggadociously celebrate with Matthews, with the two leaving the ring. Dorsey sneaks the occasional look back to St. Croix, with the medics finally arriving to check her out. St. Croix continues to cry out on the mat, with Sayge Gonzalez kneeling by her side as we fade to black.
The tron would glitch out, as the tempo of Sabotage would pick up whilst the crowd would sing the two to the ring as they would hype up the crowd whilst making their way down the ramp and slapping the fan's hands down the way.
"Iiiiiiii can't stand it!
I know ya planned it!
I'ma set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking, when I'm in here!
Cause ya crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So, while ya sit back and wonder why
I got this fuckin thorn in my side!
Oh my God, it's a mirage!
I'm telling ya'll, it's SABOTAAAAGE!!!"
As the breakdown hits, the two enter the ring while viking to the record scratching and baseline of their theme, as the two hacktivists would pose briefly as their theme would start to fade out while they're readying for their opponent.
IT ANGELICA’S WORLD
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
Superficial by Heidi Montang hits the public address as the fans boo loudly as a long stretch pink VW beetle arrives by the entrance area, as it stops the driver pops up, and opens and soon exiting the beetle with help is Angelica Matthews and Daria Dorsey, who look at the audience with a look of disgust on their faces. Wearing a bright pink fur robe, with bright pink Hollywood sunglasses covering her eyes, Angelica saunters out as the lights dim and a spotlight follows her and Daria around. As Angelica takes the time to yell at the fans or try to touch her and tell security to keep their hands away from her, Dorsey walks by her side. As The Princess makes her way to the ringside steps with both hands out in the talk-to-the-hand motion, she looks around at an attendance with a sneer before finding a stagehand and handing them a pink vial of perfume, demanding they spray down the stairs and apron for her. Meanwhile, Dorsey simply rolls into the ring, coming to Angelica’s side as the two pose together.
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first, the challengers…from Coney Island, New York…at a combined weight to 299 lbs…the team of Austin St. Croix and Sayge Gonzalez…The! DataDames!
And their opponents…at a combined weight of 279 lbs…they are the Zion Wrestling UNDISPUTED! TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONS!...Angelica Matthews and Daria! Dorsey!
Amber Westgate: The Dames definitely not a fan of being referred to as the challengers here, especially after such a brief time as the champions!
Adam LaRue: I’m sure they’re dislike for their opponents far outweigh any of that, specifically Daria Dorsey!
Amber Westgate: Once the best of friends now turned into the bitterest of rivals! It all comes to a head in our Main Event for the night!
Daria and Angelica were discussing strategy, as Sayge had no discourse for that, blindsiding them both immediately, not wasting time, as she wanted both of their heads. She would knock them both off the apron for an early ambush. Austin would run along the outside to hit Angelica with a running knee, as the bell has yet to ring. Their anger was getting the better of them, though, any early licks were worth getting in.
Amber Westgate
"The Datadames aren't giving any quarter in this match, and really want those titles back."
Adam LaRue
"As they should, they're the most prestigious titles for any team in the business."
Austin would grab Angelica by her hair and throw a pair of forearms in her face, as Sayge would get Daria up to toss her into the steel steps, as she collided into them, rolling over and landing hard on her back. She goes over to bring Daria to her feet, as Sayge would lift her up to drop Daria on her abdomen over the railing, before she grabbed her by the waist and followed up with a German Suplex. Austin would go for a move of her own, but Angelica would manage to slip out and smash Austin face first into the post.
Amber Westgate
"Big escape there by Angelica Matthews."
Adam LaRue
"That's the chaos you need to win a match like this!"
With Austin dazed, Angelica would toss her into the ring, as she ran to Sayge, who was reaching under the ring for a chair. As Sayge gets the weapon, she is met with a big running dropkick by Angelica Matthews that knocks her on her back. Daria would think quickly, as she goes under the ring for a kendo stick while Angelica was keeping her occupied with a series of stomps onto her. She would then place her boot on Sayge's face to rake it against her forehead disrespectfully, before setting her up for a big piledriver into the downed chair. She tries to lift her up, but Sayge has none of it and lifts her overhead for a big back body drop. She turned around, into a big home run swing from Daria with the kendo stick across her face, as the echo could be heard in the cheap seats.
Amber Westgate
"What a hit!"
Daria didn't have much time to celebrate, as Austin ascended the top turnbuckle behind her, as she leapt down to strike Daria dead center of the chest with a diving savate kick and laying her out. She would shout out "Let's fucking Go!!!", as the crowd popped for the big kick.
Adam LaRue
"Austin with the big action movie kick out of nowhere! Eat your heart out, Jean Claude Van-Damme."
Austin gets Daria back into the ring, as she goes to isolate her, and gets the chair off the ground, before tossing it into the ring. She would get the weapon in her hand, as Daria would scramble back to try and beg for forgiveness. She would get on her knees to try and talk down Austin, who was wanting to try and salvage their friendship. Austin hesitated, and acted like Daria was getting to her by lowering the chair, before she tossed it at Daria, who catches it, but eats a spinning back kick from Austin, who sends the chair into her face, as the crowd was behind her with another big cheer.
Amber Westgate
"She saw right through her ploy, good for her!"
Adam LaRue
"Better late than never, after all."
St. Croix goes to get another weapon, as Sayge on the outside would toss her a nightstick, and telling her to have fun, before she has Angelica on the outside, and grabs her by the hair to fight in the crowd. The two of them would walk and brawl through the audience, as a spotlight is kept on them as action goes on in the ring. Dorsey is dazed by the big hit to her earlier, as St. Croix would lift her up for the Ushigaroshi, though Daria would land on her feet behind her, and shoved Austin into the official, as they bump heads with official Heather Young, and she's out.
Amber Westgate
"Big evasion by Daria, and the ref is down."
Adam LaRue
"Pinfalls won't matter, though, you gotta make your opponent bleed!"
Daria would get the chair she was struck with earlier, as she readied to attack Austin with it. She goes overhead, looking to bring it down on Austin, but, it's deflected by the nightstick. Austin would then quickly crack Daria in the jaw with it, as she staggered back to the corner, and slumped down. Austin swapped the tonfa for the chair and raised it up. She gets a running start, before dropping kicking it into Daria's face, as she covers herself, having been busted open by the attack.
Amber Westgate
"Daria's cut open!"
Adam LaRue
"But, with the ref out, she's not formally eliminated just yet."
We go back to outside the ring, as Sayge had attacked Angelica up to the upper section of the crowd, as she was setting up for the CTRL + Alt + Delete on the concrete, though, Angelica shoved her away into the guard rail. Angelica would then slam her face first into the railing, to make her way back down. Back in the ring, Daria is wounded, as Austin would look back at the fight going on momentarily, as Daria charged at her. She tackled Austin down, going for a series of blows to the face, in a fit of rage for busting her open, as she transitioned into a bicep slicer, placing pressure on her arm, as Daria stared down at Austin while her blood would drip onto her face, as a devious idea began to form. The official began to come to, as Daria would wipe some of the blood off her face onto Austin's while she was in the hold, as Heather was starting to come to her senses.
Amber Westgate
"Oh, not this way…"
Heather would notice both of their faces were cut, and Austin was cleaning herself up. But in the heat of the moment, there was silence, and then a crunch. Austin has a curdling scream, as Daria would instinctively break her forearm to neutralize her. Heather would throw an X out to the timekeeper, and gesture medical staff in, as Sayge sees this with a jaw dropped in sheer bewilderment.
Darrion Hughes
"Daria Dorsey and Austin St. Croix have been eliminated!"
It had been announced, as Daria would walk out on her free will to deafening boos from the crowd, while a pair of medical officers would rush to the ring to help Austin to the infirmary.
Adam LaRue
"That is absolutely sickening! What a showing of unsportsmanlike conduct!"
Amber Westgate
"And just like that, we're down to two in this match. I think I'm gonna be sick…"
Sayge would be clubbed in the back by Angelica, who would be just as heartless, as she would grind Sayge's face along the rail on the way down like she was Tony Hawk. As she made her way back down, she tossed her over the railing and back to the outside of the ring, Angelica would get back in, and readied her ring. She was ready to take this home, as Sayge was still awestruck by what happened earlier. She started to get up, as Angelica would use her ring to run across her forehead, and grating at it until she was cut, while holding her hair. Heather sees Sayge bleeding, and calls for the bell.
Darrion Hughes
"Ladies and gentlemen, Sayge Gonzalez has been eliminated. Therefore, your winners and still the Zion Tag Team Champions, Daria Dorsey and Angelica! Matthews!
Amber Westgate: Congratulations go out to the retaining champions, but we really need to get some medical assistance out here for Austin St. Croix…
Adam LaRue: This doesn’t look good in the slightest, Amber. I expected a lot out of Daria Dorsey coming into tonight, but definitely not on this level. What a terrible, terrible, terrible thing to do to someone that you once called your friend.
Daria stands tall, looking down at a hurt St. Croix with slight remorse crossing her face. That instantly gets away, as Angelica Matthews jumps in to give her a hug whilst handing over her Tag Team Championship belt. Dorsey begins to braggadociously celebrate with Matthews, with the two leaving the ring. Dorsey sneaks the occasional look back to St. Croix, with the medics finally arriving to check her out. St. Croix continues to cry out on the mat, with Sayge Gonzalez kneeling by her side as we fade to black.
