We open up the show with Valentina Skye, sitting on her luxurious chair and having a smirk on her face. We see her in her new ring gear that she has that’s shining a blood red color and white. With her legs folded, Valentina begins to speak.
Valentina Skye: Well, Well, Well. It looks like we have our first “dance” together.
She smirks and keeps her eyes on the camera.
Valentina Skye: Zara, I can tell when someone’s breaking down. I can tell when someone’s getting under their skin so bad that they have to cry out loud to get their friends involved!
She rolls her eyes.
Valentina Skye: Do you think I am honestly, and I mean, honestly scared of you and your posse? Do you think I am scared of someone that thinks she’s tough, big and bad when in actuality, she’s not?
She shakes her head.
Valentina Skye: That was the cold hard truth, Zara and if you don’t like it, TOUGH SHIT!
She smirks again at the camera.
Valentina Skye: As I said, tonight is the first time we are going to have our “dance” and I am going to show EVERYONE that’s watching, along with the Zara Ivory supporters that Valentina Skye is NOT someone you want to mess around with. If I ran havoc in Trinity, then I will sure as hell can run havoc, especially over you!
She stands up again.
Valentina Skye: Once that is all said and done, don’t go crying on social media, and don’t go crying to officials to get me fired ONCE I defeat you in the ring!
Valentina leaves for her match against Zara Ivory.
Inside the Zion Stadium, Zara Ivory was seen backstage with her cousin and manager, Tala Divata. The two women were very evidently ready for the show to get underway as Ivory was in her ring gear, and they were heading to the guerilla position to get ready to head out for the opening match. There was a determined look on the woman’s face when she finally spotted the camera that was following them, and she paused in her journey to fully face it.
Zara Ivory: Valentina, the jealousy that radiates off of you really is sickening. Getting huffy because I have someone that loves me? Because we got married a couple of weeks ago? Honey, please either get a life or seek some help…better yet, go do both!
Zara shook her head after glancing at her cousin who only gave her a nod in agreement. While she knew that jealousy and pettiness were a part of the business, Zara had never unerstood why people felt the need to be that way towards others.
Zara Ivory: Maybe if you focused on, oh I don’t know, not being a jealous bitch, you could find yourself someone that gives 2 actual fucks about you. Then you could go off and get married, but no…you want to focus on what I have and have had rather than focus on what you could have.
Zara ran a hand over her short hair, letting out a sigh in the process.
Zara Ivory: Normally, I would feel some kind of satisfaction knowing that I’m going to give you some kind of beating tonight, but I actually feel sorry for you. Don’t get used to hearing that because it won’t happen often. Though with how you are, I have a feeling that it’s a common emotion for people to have when it comes to you.
Adjusting the half jacket that she was wearing, Zara glanced to Tala again before looking back to the camera.
Zara Ivory: You’re part of Trinity but instead of helping it be a dominate group, you focus on what you don’t have. Did you ever stop to think that you were the pity invite part of Trinity? That the group pities you and that’s why you’re a part of it?
Giving a small shrug, Zara licked her lips before continuing again.
Zara Ivory: I don’t see any genuine value that you bring to them. Call me a bitch or whatever you want for it, but I really don’t. If you manage to beat me tonight then maybe, just maybe, you can actually bring a little something to that group, but aside from that, I really don’t see why they keep you around. That’s just me though.
Zara glanced down the hall, seeing someone presumably coming to look for her so things could get underway. She gave a small nod in their direction, watching them disappear around the corner before she looked back at the camera.
Zara Ivory: I suppose we’ll see what happens. Remember you asked for this, Valentina. I’m not sorry for anything I do in the ring.
With that, Zara turned on her heel and continued down the hallway with Tala following her. The feed cut out when they turned the corner and out of view of the camera.
OPENING CONTEST: ZARA IVORY VS VALENTINA SKYE
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Richmond, Virginia…weighing in at 131 lbs…Zara! Ivory!
And her opponent…from Los Angeles, California…weighing in at 128 lbs…Valentina! Skye!
Amber Westgate: With the futures of many Zion Wrestling stars being determined a week from tomorrow, welcome everyone to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Amber Westgate, joined as always by Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: Amber, next weekend is gonna be life changing, potentially for someone on this brand as we head into the Madness Rumble! But for now, let’s focus on the match at hand, and the hot streak that seem to find Valentina Skye on!
Amber Westgate: Valentina Skye has been making big waves ever since attacking Zara Ivory and making her presence known on Fusion!
Adam LaRue: That’s what embitterment can do to a person, Amber! Valentina Skye has been mistreated for a long time here in Zion Wrestling! She got bitter! She complained quite a bit when she was amongst the ranks of Trinity, but now she’s taking matters into her own hands and it’s working wonders for her!
Valentina and Zara locked up in the middle of the ring as soon as the bell sounded. The two women had been at odds for a few weeks, so there was certainly no hesitation between them to get things going. It wasn’t clear who was going to get the early control, but Zara took it after a few moments with a side headlock. She released the headlock long enough to throw Skye into the ropes, looking for a vicious clothesline on the other woman. Valentina ducked under Zara’s arm and hit the ropes again, hitting Zara with a running DDT as the Queens of Chaos member turned around. Skye popped back up to her feet, a smirk on her face as she began shit talking Ivory though the cameras couldn’t pick up what she was saying. She grabbed Zara by her hair and yanked her up, slapping her once she was back on her feet but didn’t notice the glare that came to Ivory’s face after Skye shoved her into the turnbuckle. Valentina went for a suplex, but Zara got a little dirty and hit her with a thumb to the eye that the referee didn’t see, causing Skye to stumble out of the corner covering her eye. Zara jumped up onto the ropes and leapt off of them as soon as Valentina turned around, hitting her with a springboard sitout facebuster!
Before she could capitalize further, Valentina rolled out of the ring and began walking around ringside, shaking her head at Zara. Ivory eyed the woman then looked at the ropes and smirked, running and throwing herself against them. Skye was able to scout Ivory’s intentions though and as Zara came through the ropes, Valentina quickly moved out of the way causing Ivory to slam against the barrier! Skye grabbed Ivory and threw her back into the ring before climbing back into it herself. Pulling Ivory to her feet, Skye hit her with a vicious suplex that left the other woman arching in pain from the impact. Lifting her again, Valentina went for another suplex, but Zara was able to counter into a suplex of her own! It gave her a few moments to catch her breath before she returned to her feet where she eyed the ropes once more. She looked back at Valentina and hit her with a standing moonsault for good measure. Ivory climbed the ropes and went for Violence Causes Silence, but Skye was able to get her knees up at the last second! Valentina scrambled to her feet as Zara held her abdomen and rolled away, but Skye wasn’t going to let her get away easily. She quickly caught Ivory up in Trinity of Ava and cinched the hold in tightly. Continuing to apply more pressure, eventually tapped out to Valentina.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match, via submission…Valentina! Skye!
Amber Westgate: A huge win secured for Valentina Skye here! She just pinned the longest reigning Gateway Champion!
Adam LaRue: Zara Ivory gave a hell of a fight tonight, I won’t deny that! But in the end, Valentina Skye proved that she’s gotten stronger with action!
Skye pulls herself to her feet, having her hand raised as we fade!

RESULT: SUBMISSION (TRINITY OF AVA)
As the FRIDAY NIGHT FUSION feed shifts back to the halls of the Zion Wrestling Arena, one half of the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, Madi McNamara finds herself strolling towards Rising Star Boulevard’s designated dressing room with two large cups of her self made Timmy Horton’s coffee in hand.
Willa Stoneheart: “I get that she’s from Mass and all…”
Taking a look at the cops in her hands, a light laugh escapes the (technically) multi-time wrestling champion.
Willa Stoneheart: “But, Selena HAS to stop drinking that “Dunks” garbage. I REALLY don’t understand how she enjoys the worst coffee out there.”
The Zion Wrestling production team’s camera feed follows Madi around the corners of its storied venue. As Madi steps closer and closer to the champions’ room, she hears something extremely troubling…
CRASH!
Willa Stoneheart: “What the FUCK was that?”
Madi questions to herself out loud. Feeling a sudden sense of impending doom, Madi begins to increase her pace. As the colder half of Rising Star Boulevard approaches the women’s dressing room’s door, she notices it eerily cracked open.
“WOW. You two are CLEARLY out of your minds! I’ve been working on that painting of Madi all frickin’ DAY!”
(IN JAPANESE) - “Don’t worry about that garbage, you fool. After we take those Undisputed Tag Team Championships, this locker room will belong to us anyway.”
The voice of the ultra aggressive star attraction, HANA KANEKO, echoed from behind the door. In response, Miss Madi pushes the door open completely. Once inside, she notices the pairing of Eden and Hana standing opposite to Selena Galante.
Kaneko locks eyes with Miss Madi…a menacing smirk growing on the face of the Japanese superstar.
Hana Kaneko (in Japanese): “She did say we’d handle our “business” tonight, correct?”
With a quick glance to Eden, Hana appears to grow even more confident.
Hana Kaneko (in Japanese): “That thing?”
Hana points downwards towards a destroyed canvas painting.
Hana Kaneko (in Japanese): “That’s only the beginning. Pretty soon, we’ll be taking everything from Rising Star Boulevard…the championships and all of the perks that come with them. It’ll really sink in when I put Selena down in that ring tonight.”
Lena Galante: “Excuse me? I really don’t like your tone, sweetheart.”
Not quite understanding Hana’s choice of words, Selena appears to be slightly confused. Yet, body language was universal. Hana Kaneko, being one of the most talented wrestlers in the world, commanded acknowledgment that she had always been an instant threat to any competitor in the business.
Despite the situation seeming escalating slightly, one simple question escaped the lips of the beautiful Loveland, Colorado native.
Willa Stoneheart: “So, we’re back to playing mind games aren’t we? We’re destroying property now?”
Lena Galante: “Madi. This is SO messed up, girl.”
Rolling her eyes, Selena groans in a frustrated tone.
Lena Galante: “I mean, I’ve been around the block myself. I’m used to toxic behavior from people who want something of mine. None of this had to happen though. Hana and Eden just barged into our room and snapped my canvas in half…”
At that moment, Eden let out a loud laugh. On the other hand, Hana continues to smirk at the current champions.
Madi places both cups of coffee on a nearby shelf before positioning herself next to Selena.
Willa Stoneheart: “You know, Eden, you might’ve picked up the win on Monday, but I’ve realized something about you.”
The dirty blonde motions towards Selena’s destroyed artwork. Spice, who temporarily held both Tag Team Championships over her shoulders, handed Madi’s belt to her.
Willa Stoneheart: “All THIS unnecessary shit you’ve been doing shows me is that you both REALLY don’t think you’ll be able to get your hand raised when we put these championships on the line at Madness.”
As Stoneheart attempts to make sense of the ordeal at hand, Eden Sterling’s unforgettable gaze shifts towards her former tag team partner.
Eden Sterling: “You’re missing the point, Madilyn. Didn’t you hear Hana, old friend? She basically said that we’re coming to snatch everything you currently have to your names.”
Lightly patting Madi on the shoulder, Eden comes face to face with the woman she had once known as Ashlynn.
Eden Sterling: “The money, status, gold. We’re taking every last bit of it from you on February 3rd.”
Willa Stoneheart: “Tonight, we get even. After that? The anticipation for part 3 begins.
You’re wanting what we have? You’ll get to star opposite us, for a little while. These titles are going to be the feature in Zion. So before you get burned under the bright lights of the Boulevard, you’re welcome to sit front row on Monday. Watch now, because when it’s you, you just might be too close. You just might have too many stars in your eyes.”
Tossing their championship belts over their shoulder, Madi readies herself to head towards Zion’s production room.
Before leaving, Selena takes a final glance at Hana in advance of their upcoming 1-on1 contest.
Lena Galante: “You know what, honey? You might’ve taken my paintings from me. It’s just…you’ve got to know that star power is the one thing Madi and I have that you’ll never be able to snatch.”
As RSB turn towards the door, Selena shouts out one final declaration:
Lena Galante: “Hana…I’ll see you out there!”
With that, the Undisputed Tag Team Champions take their leave as the feed slowly fades on a very determined Hana Kaneko.
Voice: Someone said she was outside.
The camera pushes the door and heads outside where we see Lara Bratton sitting on the curb with a beer in hand, two crushed beer cans on the pavement and a six-pack with three beers missing. She appears to be talking to someone.
Voice: Who’s she talking to?.
Lara Bratton: Listen, Fido.
It’s then a stray dog comes into view. Lara pours some beer onto the ground for the puppy to lick up.
Lara Bratton: You ever wrestle May Blackhead?
The dog seems more content to lap up the spilled beer than answering her question.
Lara Bratton: I heard she’s pretty tough, despite her acne problem.
The puppy looks up at her, as if asking for more beer and she obliges by pouring more beer onto the ground.
Lara Bratton: To be fair, she hasn’t gotten into the ring with me before. I’m pretty sure I can knock her out.
The dog’s attention isn’t really on her, but wags his tail as he laps at the foam on the ground.
Lara Bratton: She was kinda rude to me on that Twatter thing, but she’s probably just grouchy from not getting any in a while. It happens to the best of us.
The puppy wags its tail, waiting for more beer.
Lara Bratton: You’re not under 21, are you? You ain’t trying to get me arrested here, are you Scooby?
The dog gives her a reassuring bark so she pours the last of her beer out before crushing the can, tossing it behind her and reaching for another.
Lara Bratton: Everyone else is inside stretching, but this works best, believe me.
She cracks the can open and takes a healthy swallow. She reaches down and picks up the last two cans of beer, still attached to the plastic as she loops her fingers into the empty hoop.
Lara Bratton: Well, Huckleberry Hound, I gotta get inside before I miss my fight. Hang out, we can have another sixer after the show!
With that, Lara scampers back into the arena.
MATCH #2: LARA BRATTON VS MAI BLACKMAN
As soon as the bell sounded, Lara was asking the referee if he was sure that the right person was in the ring across from her, thinking Mai’s name was something else. Before the referee could assure Bratton that Blackman was the right person, Mai caught Lara with a hard shoot throw, slamming her down hard. Bratton was caught off-guard and even more so when Mai got over her and started throwing hard lefts and rights. Bratton began guarding her face before bringing a foot up, slamming it as hard as she could into Blackman’s abdomen to get her off of her. With Blackman pushed back, Bratton was able to get to her feet and hit Mai with a double chop to the throat, taking the MMA trained woman by surprise. Mai began coughing, a glare coming to her face as she looked over at Lara who was coming at her for a suplex. Blackman recovered in time to take Bratton down with a suplex of her own, putting as much strength behind it as she could.
The MMA trained woman looked down at her opponent before picking her up, looking for a cradle DDT, but she wasn’t expecting Bratton to turn it into a DDT of her own! Lara jumped to her feet, stumbling a bit from the drinks that she took prior to the match starting, but she quickly found her footing before she moved to grab Mai. She pulled her into a headlock, holding the move in for a few moments before throwing a hard punch to Mai’s nose, causing Blackman to growl as she grabbed her nose for a brief moment. It was clear that she was getting irritated at Bratton’s tactics as she grabbed the other woman’s arm, throwing her into the ropes before taking her down with a hard arm drag. Lara got up and came at her again leading to Mai taking her down with yet another arm drag. Bratton came at Blackman one more time, but this time Mai nailed her with Chicago Kiss! From there, Mai backed up only to nail Lara with a vicious The System, pinning her just for good measure.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THREE…!!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Mai! Blackman!
Amber Westgate: And with that win, Mai Blackman finally pulls herself out of the trenches!
Adam LaRue: Lara doesn’t seem too upset by this however! In fact, she still looks as happy as ever!
Blackman stands tall, with Bratton rolling out of the ring! She eventually reappears with a beer in her hand, offering it to Blackman! Blackman looks at her in disgust, slapping the drink out of her hand before berating her! Bratton backs off, with Blackman continuing to raise her arms as we see Bratton still celebrating in the background!
RESULT: PINFALL (THE SYSTEM)
Here we see the curvy form of Zion’s Viral Champion Gianna Rojas bent at the waist with her elbows on a desk with her gaze intent on a tablet. She's aware that the camera is there but she pays it no mind even when it swoops in to peer over her shoulder. She's watching what amounts to basically a highlight reel of her opponent tonight, Daria Dorsey, with clips and bits from matches and even what appears to be football. She lets it run for a bit before she turns her head to the side just a little and winks.
Gianna Rojas: Hmm…Daria Dorsey! Es interesante, tal vez un poco controvertida, pero interesante.
She taps the screen of the tablet to stop the video for now, straightening up and lifting her arms over her head, stretching luxuriously before dropping her arms down at her sides. Gia is mostly ready for her match needing really only to pick up her Viral Championship belt to be done.
Gianna Rojas: No estoy seguro de creer algunos de los rumores más escandalosos, pero ya sabes cómo es este negocio. ¿Qué podemos hacer?
Gianna shrugs, shaking her head a bit before she gives one of her signature grins to the camera.
Gianna Rojas: Vi lo que tenía que decir en Twitter sobre la necesidad de ganar. Sobre cómo cambiaría las cosas para ella. Puedo apreciar su lógica, incluso si no puedo estar de acuerdo o simplemente dejar que suceda.
Gianna adjusts her sparkly ring jacket, then gathers up her Viral Championship belt, holding it up for the camera before securing it around her waist.
Gianna Rojas: Independientemente de lo que sienta por Daria, al menos sé que será competitiva y que le importa el resultado. ¡Eso es importante para un campeón!
She winks, pausing for a mere moment before heading out.
Gianna Rojas: ¡Nos vemos a todos ahí fuera!
MATCH #3: DARIA DORSEY VS GIANNA ROJAS ©
VIRAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
The opening moments were a display of technical prowess, each woman showcasing her distinct moveset. Dorsey's Dragon Screw left a lasting impact, setting the tone for a match that would be as intense as it was skillful.
Rojas, known for her agility, responded with a series of lightning-quick Ranas, dazzling the crowd with her acrobatic finesse. The back-and-forth exchange of holds and strikes kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Dorsey's Snap Powerslam echoed through the arena, threatening to shift the momentum in her favor. However, Rojas proved resilient, countering with a Running 360 that left everyone in awe.
As the match progressed, the tension escalated. Dorsey found herself trapped in Rojas' Bow-and-Arrow Submission, a move rarely seen from the high-flying competitor. The crowd roared in anticipation, sensing the potential for a submission victory. Yet, Dorsey showcased her determination by reaching the ropes, breaking the hold and keeping her hopes alive. The climax of the match unfolded in an unexpected twist.
In a shocking turn, Matthews, positioned at ringside, clobbered Dorsey with a pair of brass knuckles. The referee, momentarily distracted, failed to witness the underhanded tactic. Seizing the opportunity, Rojas capitalized and secured the pinfall, claiming the victory.
VB1 The winner of this match…and STILL the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPION!...GIANNA! ROJAS!
Amber Westgate: What the hell was that by Angelica Matthews?!
Adam LaRue: That, Amber, is textbook goalpost shifting! Possibly even a get back for a couple weeks ago! I wouldn’t be surprised if Matthews arranged this match just to screw Dorsey out of it!
Matthews stands over an angry Dorsey as Rojas celebrates outside the ring!
RESULT: PINFALL (INTERFERENCE)
Every time we find ourselves backstage, with Vinny James joining Kaitlin Williams at the interview set, it’s with...increasing trepidation, on the part of the intrepid reporter. Nonetheless, he finds himself there once again, with the smirking former National Champion giving him a Look, for...frankly, longer than would probably make anyone comfortable, when it comes to Kaitlin. Williams, for her part, folds her arms across her chest, looking a little impatient for Vinny to get going--and so, he does.
Vinny James: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, Kaitlin Williams, and I understand you’ve got something you want to announce, but...before we get to that, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you about the, uh...escalation of your issue with Jordan Majors, during her match with Yumi Akiyama last week...”
Kaitlin Williams: “Oh, I know, like Humpty Dumpty, she had a great fall last week.”
Kaitlin just scoffs a little, shaking her head. It takes her a second to realize that Vinny’s waiting for more than just that, and the Aussie blinks.
Kaitlin Williams: “Oh, you want an explanation?”
Vinny James: “That...yeah, frankly.”
Kaitlin Williams: “I’ve been here for about eight months now, Vinny--and in those eight months, would you say I’ve been subtle in what I want, in any way?”
Vinny James: “Not...especially, no.”
Kaitlin Williams: “It’s real simple, then, isn’t it? I have never pretended to be someone that I’m not: I’m petty, I hold grudges. Like I told her a few weeks ago, as far as I’m concerned, she owes me--this all coulda been avoided if she had the awareness of a slice of moldy bread, but NoOoOoOo...”
There’s even a musical lilt to Kaitlin’s voice with the “no,” the Aussie even incorporating something vaguely akin to jazz hands to accompany it. And just as quickly as the theater kid energy arrives, it disappears as folds her arms across her chest again, the corner of mouth twisted up in a sneer.
Kaitlin Williams: “I was left without a choice, Vinny--because this wasn’t going to be something that simmers until she thinks it’s time, or until she fucks off. Nah, I was too nice about the way I went about this after I beat her the first time--more the fool, me, turns out mercy has a price, Vinny. For a Champion that was so proud to take on every challenger, she was sure happy to ignore my challenges, hey? And...heh, I don’t take kindly to being ignored, least of which when I deserve what I’m calling for, so now? I’m going to do whatever it takes, until I get what I want.”
Vinny James: “So this isn’t just about the World Championship?”
Kaitlin Williams: “Oh, don’t get it twisted--I’ll be World Champion before the end of the year, but right now? Heh, right now I’m dealing with this issue. ISIS can have her petty little defenses over on the pink show against people who’ve never so much as set foot in a Zion ring if that makes her feel important, I’ll get to her soon enough.”
Vinny James: “The most expedient way to do that is, obviously, the Madness Rumble--is it safe to assume that’s the announcement you were planning on making, declaring your entry?”
Kaitlin Williams: “I mean, obviously, yeah--I didn’t need to make a whole fuckin’ song and dance about it, go on some long-winded tirade to declare myself as an entrant for a match I’m obviously planning on entering...”
Rather than wait for Kaitlin to elaborate, Vinny interrupts her--and Kaitlin looks, just for a moment, offended by his interjection.
Vinny James: “Ironically, that brings us back around to this issue with Jordan Majors, who finds herself in something of a Double Jeopardy kind of situation tonight--she could end up competing for the number one spot, or for the number thirty...”
As if to make her point, Kaitlin interrupts Vinny right back, not letting him actually get the question out.
Kaitlin Williams: “And believe it or not, Vinny? I hope she wins it. I hope she pins her little bestie~, goes on to Mayhem, wins the whole damn thing, I want her to have that number thirty spot.”
Vinny James: “...Okaaaaaay...I’m almost scared to ask, but why?”
Kaitlin Williams: “The best spot in the whole Rumble, right Vinny? The freshest one, you can kick your feet up and watch the rest of the match, hell most of the work will be done for you by the time you get there! What an advantage, right...?”
Kaitlin smirks a little.
Kaitlin Williams: “Obviously, I plan on winning this thing, Vinny...but I wanna be there, when number thirty hits; I wanna be standing, dead centre of the ring when that music hits and she comes sprinting down the ramp, thoroughly convinced it’s an easy night for her...and I want to see the look on her face when she’s looking back up at me after I throw her out. I want to see it set in, Vinny, that the girl she just dismissed like it was nothing, just made sure she wasn’t gonna be anywhere near the World Championship again. I want her to feel like she has every single advantage...and flop. So yeah...for the next two shows, I’ll be a Jordan Majors fan--round of applause if she manages to pull it off, yeah?”
Kaitlin chuckles a little, unfolding her arms and stuffing her hands into her jacket pockets, shrugging a shoulder and admitting, even as she turns to walk away from the stage.
Kaitlin Williams: “I wouldn’t gamble on it, though.”
And before Vinny can ask what that means, Kaitlin’s walked off, leaving him...very confused, and very frustrated as we cut away from the interview.
We cut back to ringside, where we see Kai Morgan standing in the ring in front of a desk with two chairs set up beside it.
Kai Morgan: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time tonight. . As you all saw last month, my attempts at conflict resolution at War Games, had some…unanticipated consequences. Namely, between those in the Queens of Chaos faction. Tensions have gotten heated between these two talents, so much so that it has spilled over into the programming of other promotions. I’ve decided that it would be in the best interests of all involved, if I stepped in and allowed these two a sanctioned match to let out their frustrations in.
Kai pauses for a reaction.
Kai Morgan: Therefore, it is with my pleasure to announce that a week from tomorrow at Madness, Kaya Parker will put her Gateway Championship on the line against Jessi Ozborne.
The crowd cheers over the prospect of this match.
Kai Morgan: And that is what brings me out here tonight. I would like to invite both of these women out here to sign the contract, and make it official!
Kai drops his microphone on the desk, waiting a moment before “Kool-Aid” by Bring Me The Horizon begins to play. Out of the entryway comes Jessi Ozborne, decked out in an Otto Nova t-shirt and ripped black skinny jeans. She makes her way down to the ring, giving Kai a high-five before taking her seat.
Lights go out in the arena as a spotlight is shone on the top of the stage. “Flowers” by Kayla King and Halocene begins to play. Ruslan stepped out first, then the spotlight changed from white to red, and Kaya stepped out making her way down as the spotlight followed her. Wearing her cowboy clothes, Ruslan hops up on the apron as the lights come on. He holds the ropes open and Kaya makes her way through. Pulling the bandana off her face then sitting down as Ruslan picks up a microphone.
Ruslan Lucic: what did you learn on Tuesday Jessi? You learned that first impressions are what is key to being successful. That is what Kaya did a few weeks ago. In her very first title match on her own, she won. Now she went through the first hoop of Risa. She now—
Kaya takes the mic from him.
”The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: —will show you why I'm as dangerous as I was before the deadweight joined me…
Jessi sits there in front of Kaya, a calm demeanor on her face. Jessi picks up the microphone to speak, her tone being the same way.
Jessi Ozborne: Before I begin anything, I just want to have it be known that the only thing keeping me from shoving both of your heads up each other’s asses, is the fact that our boss is sitting right in front of us.
The crowd cheers at Jessi’s childish insults, proving that they’re nothing if not loyal to her every word.
Jessi Ozborne: What else is there to say to you that hasn’t already been said a million times, Kaya? I mean, genuinely. Or you know…here’s a more important question: What else is there to say to you that you’ll actually listen to? We’ve been doing this back and forth for well over a month at this point, and I frankly think it’s been a month too long. But we keep doing this, because even when you want nothing to do with me, or the Queens, or your sister, you still find your way back to all three.
Jessi pauses.
Jessi Ozborne: But you’re independent now, and that’s good for you. You’ve now become the tenth person to win the Gateway Championship. That’s a nice achievement. You even beat me to it. Great job…But now comes the part where the consequences set in. Because now you’ve found yourself in a position where you’re about to lose the Gateway Championship. Because if you think for a second that I’m about to let you get another one over on me, you’re dead wrong.
Jessi grabs the pen off the desk, signing her part of the contract before pushing over to Kaya’s side of the table. Kaya laughed as she looked over at Jessi and looked over the contract.
”The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: The only thing stopping you…the only thing stopping you is the fact that you don't want me hurt after all you silly c u next Tuesday. You know and I know that you want me at 100%, because then you can say that you beat me fair and square. So either step up and hit me like you want to or…
She signs the contract then motions for Ruslan to get out of the ring.
”The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: Go home like the bitch that you are.
Jessi sits there, still docile as ever.
Jessi Ozborne: Kaya…I think I finally understand you a little bit better. All this time, I had been wondering what would have driven you to do something so heinous to someone you love so much. But I gotta admit now…whatever drove you to the point of doing what you did to Lil…you’ve driven me there. Next Saturday, I’m gonna feel just as much remorse for what I did to you, as you did for what you did to her. So I want you to spend the next eight days thinking about just that, and realizing just how fucked you truly are at Madness. Trust.
Jessi slams the microphone down on the desk, getting up from her chair and beginning to leave the ring. She stops herself however, grabbing a microphone again to speak.
Jessi Ozborne: Oh and hey…one more thing, and I need you to look into my eyes when I say this.
Kaya stands up and turns to Jessi, with Jessi raising her microphone up. Just then however, Jessi pivots, nailing Kaya with God’s Revolver. She kneels over Kaya as she speaks into her mic again.
Jessi Ozborne: There goes one that you actually saw coming, bitch.
Jessi drops her microphone, leaving the ring as we fade.

MATCH #4: BLACK THUNDER VS SOFIA HILTON & RAVENNA ROJAS
Ian Black stepped forward, his muscles tensed with determination, ready to take on Hilton, who seemed hesitant to engage. As Black advanced, Hilton quickly tagged in her sister, Rojas, whose nervous demeanor betrayed her lack of experience. The rookie stepped into the ring tentatively, eyeing Black warily as the crowd roared their approval.
With the match underway, Rojas found herself face to face with the seasoned Ian Black. Despite her lack of experience, she showed flashes of potential, landing a quick armdrag and snap suplex on Black. But the veteran's resilience soon proved too much, as he countered with a devastating superkick that sent Rojas sprawling. Sensing an opportunity, Black moved in for the kill, only to be thwarted by Hilton's cowardly interference from the apron.
Rojas scrambled to tag in her sister once more, but this time, Hilton refused to come to her aid, leaving Rojas to fend for herself. As Rojas stood alone in the ring, abandoned by her sister, Black Thunder seized their chance. With precision and power, they executed The Grave of Valhalla leaving Rojas sprawled on the mat. THORA made the cover, securing the victory for Black Thunder.
Darrion Hughes: The winners of this match…Black! Thunder!
Amber Westgate: Black Thunder gets the win after a treacherous display from Sofia Hilton!
Adam LaRue: Call me an asshole, but I can’t say I blame her! This is Zion Wrestling! The big leagues! Rojas just doesn’t cut it, and Hilton recognized that!
Amber Westgate: Don’t worry, Adam! We all call you an asshole, regardless!
Black and THORA celebrate, with Rojas looking heartbroken up the ramp at Hilton as she takes her leave!
RESULT: PINFALL (THE GRAVE OF VALHALLA)
==============[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==============
==============[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==============
As the ringside area is cleared up after the last match, the fans aren’t expecting to hear “Unbreakable” by Stratovarius hit over the speakers but as it does, Yumi Akiyama comes walking out from the back with an all-business look on her unusually sour face. The warm smile she always has to offer isn’t there tonight. She’s not even in her ring gear, opting instead for a pair of cutoff jean shorts and a “Here Comes Yumi” t-shirt, tied up under her bust. Despite her apparent mood, she still takes time to touch hands as she goes by. She even sees an excited child in the front row to whom she smiles and touches foreheads with before moving to climb the apron and enter the ring. She takes a moment to climb the turnbuckles and finally give a smile, though small, to the fans before stepping down and asking for a microphone as her music fades out.
Yumi Akiyama: "Hello, Orlando."
The crowd pops back and Yumi manages another smile before going serious again and continuing.
Yumi Akiyama: "Sorry, I…I know I’m usually out here all smiles and a ball of energy for you and believe me, I love and appreciate you all. Unfortunately, in recent weeks, I find it hard to keep a smile on my face. See…I never expected I would even be here in my lifetime. Standing inside a ring, addressing all of you, not as a referee because…well…as referees we don’t do this. However, I’m not a referee here in Zion. That’s neither here nor there. In Zion Wrestling…I’m a member of the roster, just like everyone else. I share the locker room every Friday night with women like Hana Kaneko…Ayu Megumi…Gianna Rojas…Daria Dorsey…Jessi Ozborne…Jordan Majors…ISIS…Thora. I lace up my boots. I stand in the waiting line for hair and makeup, just like everyone else. I’d like to think I put in the work and pay my dues just as everyone should but lately…that feels like it isn’t enough for some people."
There’s a pause from Yumi and an emphatic boo from the crowd. They know exactly what she’s getting at as she continues.
Yumi Akiyama: "See, of those examples I just named, some of them have something in common. The Queens of Chaos. One of the most dominant factions this sport has ever seen and I respect that. I respect that and I respect them. Jessi Ozborne helped me with the design for my ring gear. I sit at the table in catering with Ayu Megumi more often than not. We laugh. We joke. We have such a good time just talking. One of the women who trained me, Sanada-sensei, she’s Queens of Chaos. Just recently, I had a great match with Jordan Majors and Jordan, I’m sorry it ended how it did. I don’t like to win that way and I would love to run it back with you because I honestly can’t say I beat one of the best when someone stuck their nose into it."
The crowd applauds Yumi’s honorable gesture as the young woman visibly sighs and paces in a circle around the center of the ring.
Yumi Akiyama: "Despite the fairly well standing I have with that group, though, it seems I’ve drawn the ire of one of them for a reason which I can’t wrap my head around. For the past several weeks, I’ve been harassed. I’ve been attacked. I’ve been a victim to antagonization. My question is for what? What did I do or say to invoke such behavior from someone? Well, I said it on Twitter, I’m saying it again. I want some answers so…YUKIKO KUSANAGI…I know you’re here. I know you’re back there. I know you’re listening. I even bet you’re watching. You wanna talk about knocking on the Devil’s door? I’m not knocking. I’m kicking it down! You want me for whatever reason? Here I am and until you come out? I’m not moving!"
She drops her arm, holding the microphone at her side.
A brief moment of silence goes by before Vincent Moretto’s cover of Hidenori Shoji’s “Pledge of Demon” explodes through the PA. The lights dim down, drawing the crowd’s attention to a purple light on the stage. From the curtain steps Yukiko Kusanagi; her face shrouded behind a Hannya mask. She’s dressed in black leather pants, steel tipped boots and a snakeskin patterned jacket over a simple black bandeau wrapping around her chest and black gloves on her hands. She pauses on the stage, staring curiously out at Yumi before making her way down towards the ring at a methodical stride, in no real rush to get there. Perhaps she’s a little taken aback by the sudden fire Yumi’s displaying…or perhaps she’s just continuing to try to get under her skin by making her wait as long as possible.
Amber Westgate: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Devil…has arrived."
Adam LaRue: "I hope Yumi Akiyama knows what she’s doing. She’s not knocking on the door of a hospitable host, so to speak."
Amber Westgate: "She wants answers and she deserves them, Adam."
Adam LaRue: "Is it worth the potential cost, though?"
Amber Westgate: "What do you mean?"
Adam LaRue: "I mean she’s demanding something from Yukiko Kusanagi. You don’t make demands of a Devil, Amber, especially the Osaka Devil! It never ends well for you!"
As the two go back and forth, Yukiko steps into the ring and proceeds to slowly circle Yumi, looking the girl over. Studying her. Until she comes to stand in front of her again, staring at her with her head cocked to the side. She hasn’t even gone to get a microphone yet as the lights and music fade and go back to normal.
Yumi stands there, watching Yukiko with a tense air about her. She shifts in position, waiting before she gives the silent woman an expectant shrug, eventually offering her own microphone out to her.
Yukiko…doesn’t reach for it. In fact, she doesn’t move a single muscle. She just stands there, staring at Yumi through the holds in her mask.
Yumi grows more fidgety as the moment passes. She’s clearly getting irritated by Yukiko’s response or lack thereof rather. Finally, she brings up the microphone to speak–
And Yukiko snatches it from her hand, startling the girl just a little. She reaches up and slowly taps the mic against her mask before speaking through it, a little muffled, obviously.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "Ahhhh….Yuuuuumi-chaaaaan….Yumi-chan, Yumi-chan, Yuuuuuuuuumi-chaaaaaaaaaaaan!"
Yukiko starts to walk around Yumi again.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "Anata wa osorete iru. Watashi wa sore o miru koto ga dekimasu. Anata ga rikai shite inaikaradesu. Watashitachiha rikai shite inai koto o osorete imasu. Sorekara... Anata ga rikai suru no o tetsudaimashou."
She slowly reaches up and takes her mask with her other hand, pulling it up and off of her face. She lets it dangle in her hand by the straps as she continues to stare right into Yumi’s eyes, this time, unobscured so she can see right into hers as well. Yukiko continues to speak but this time, in English.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "You think I hate you…is that it? You think I am doing all of this because I want to. Oh, Yumi-chan…please listen to me when I say…"
She smiles again.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "You could not be more…Right!"
The crowd buzzes with a low murmur as Yukiko laughs in Yumi’s face.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "I do want to do this. I want to do this because I enjoy it. I want to do this because this is what makes me feel alive and I have not felt truly alive in this industry in a long time! There was a time when people knew what I was capable of. They respected me. They feared me. And that felt good! I was a force to be reckoned with! For two years I was unstoppable across two major companies. I stepped foot into the Slaughterhouse and I took the American Horror Championship from an inaugural, handout champion who couldn’t carry the mantle of that title. I burned through their first season undefeated. I came here..to Zion…I remained undefeated…I became the first Zion Hardcore Champion and again…for over a year…undefeated..."
She trails off, pausing her words as the fire in her own eyes seems to dissipate. Yukiko almost seems…sad…for a moment.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "Then…that ended. That ended because I lost sight of who I was and what made me such an unstoppable force. I began to show…compassion. I showed compassion and everything fell apart. I lost the Hardcote Championship to a self proclaimed God who threw it away because, despite being the first one to defeat me in over two years, she could not sustain the weight that hardcore wrestling puts on a body. She proved she was no true God right then and there. Still…I continued to show compassion…and still…I continued to descend.into obscurity… I let compassion destroy my life. I let compassion bring harm to the ones closest to me. I let compassion….make me weak."
She stares hard at Yumi and slowly shakes her head. That eerie smile slowly returns to her face as that fire begins to burn in her eyes again.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "No more… I am finished with compassion. I am finished showing weakness. I am finished letting people forget that a devil…The Devil…walks among them. It is time for Zion to remember that this is no holy place…this is no heaven for professional wrestling… This...is Hell...and I…am its keeper…I…am its Queen…I…am The Devil...and you, Yumi-chan…you and anyone who does not tread carefully…who does not watch where they walk…in my realm…are just another soul to be torn apart…"
Smiling, Yukiko extends the microphone back out to Yumi but lets it fall to the mat before she can take it.
Yumi tightens her jaw as the mic falls, having been listening to Yukiko’s words with a mix of sadness and horrific realization on her face. It’s finally dawning on her: this is a madwoman standing before her. It’s why she never takes her eyes off of her as she slowly reaches down and picks up the microphone.
Yumi Akiyama: "Yukiko-san…I may not have been actively wrestling for as long as you or others have but I want you to know that I do understand. I understand that you’re frustrated. You had a hell of a stretch and you were one of the baddest women in the business. You still are. Good times never last forever but just because one good time ends, it doesn’t mean it’s the last. You’ll find your track again but it doesn’t mean you need to push everyone away. Compassion doesn’t make you weak and whatever you call what you’re doing now, while it might make you feared, it isn’t going to make you respected. It’s just going to make you a monster."
Yukiko listens as Yumi speaks and that fire, once again, begins to fade in her eyes. Something in Yumi’s words seems to have reached her. The woman, looking torn between emotions, closes her eyes and lowers her head, clenching her fists tightly. Her shoulders begin to shake. Is she…crying?!
The crowd looks on as Yumi’s shoulders relax and she lets the mic fall again, reaching out to put a gentle hand on Yukiko’s shoulder. She pulls the woman into a hug. The two women stand there, embracing with the new blood wrestler attempting to console the disheartened veteran. The fans slowly vibe with it, beginning to applaud the gesture. They even start a “You still got it” chant for Yukiko Kusanagi.
Adam LaRue: "You gotta understand where Yukiko Kusanagi’s coming from, Amber."
Amber Westgate: "I do but Yumi’s right too. It doesn’t need to be this way."
The embrace in the ring ends with Yumi and Yukiko separating and smiling at each other. Yumi gives Yukiko’s shoulders a pat as she nods. Yukiko smiles back, revealing her eyes don’t have a single tear in them and she BLASTS YUMI IN THE FACE WITH DARK GREEN MIST!!!!!!
Adam LaRue: "WHOA!!!!"
Amber Westgate: "WHAT THE HELL?!?!"
Yukiko grabs Yumi as she frantically wipes at her eyes, hooks her arms behind her back and DRILLS HER INTO THE MAT WITH “KURO GISHIKI [Black Sabbath] (Double Underhook Brainbuster)”!!!!!!!! The crowd is absolutely livid as Yukiko sits up off of the mat and rolls up onto one knee beside the prone woman beside her. She snatches the microphone back up and gets down onto her belly beside Yumi’s ear…laughing.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "Ohhhhh Yumi-chan…you were correct before…but this time you were wrong… I am not becoming a monster…"
Grinning wickedly, Yukiko gets closer with the mic into her ear and whispers.
Yukiko Kusanagi: "...Watashi wa sudeni monsutādesu…."
“Pledge of Demon” resumes as Yukiko sets the mic down and gives Yumi a brush on the cheek from her finger before back-crawling out of the ring and leaving her to slowly recover.
Amber Westgate: "Yukiko Kusanagi…she got Yumi to drop her own guard and she caught her for it…"
Adam LaRue: "You never know what’s going to come from her, Amber! None of us do!"
We cut to the talent locker rooms in Zion Wrestling Stadium, where we pan out on Jordan Majors getting ready for tonight’s main event. She seems focused on the task at hand, with a creaking noise in the background indicating that someone is joining her in the room shortly.
Jessi Ozborne: What’s up, babe? How we feeling heading into tonight?
Jessi sits on the bench next to Jordan, wrapping an arm around her as to give her a bit of sideways hug.
Jessi Ozborne: Man, that Kaya is fucking piece of work. But she’ll get what’s coming to her next weekend. What’s important is that we got a match tonight, a fuckin big one too.
Jordan Majors: Yeah, she is. What is it with these bitches getting ideas in their heads that they are just better than the whole group? It’s not like any of us are going out of our way to claim we’re better than another Queen, right? Well, except for that one time…
Jordan grins at Jessi and leans down to lace up her boots. She looks over at Jessi.
Jordan Majors: And I’m over here with random ass girls shooting for me at every turn. No matter where I go. I’m in a mood to really get something off my chest in the ring if you know what I mean?
Jessi Ozborne: Let’s not go there just yet, hun. I’m sure Zion would like to keep their deal with Splat, after all.
Jessi laughs a bit.
Jessi Ozborne: Look, I know we had our differences over the World Title a little while back, but we’re past that now, right? Tonight’s a big opportunity for both of us, but I don’t want it to get between us if I can help it.
Jordan Majors: There’s no issue between us. We’re all good. I mean, look at me. I don’t have that title anymore anyways.
Jordan shrugs, albeit a bit sarcastically, and then fixes her hair as she leans back up and looks at Jessi.
Jordan Majors: That’s all water under the bridge. Having my best friend in my life and by my side are far more important. And I can’t go pissing off my neighbor, either, right?
Jessi smiles at Jordan.
Jessi Ozborne: Yeah, exactly. Look, I know I don’t say it enough, but I love you, man. Just know that I’m gonna be looking out for you tonight, and in the Rumble. I know we both got our goals and shit, but I won’t let that get in the way of me having your back.
Jordan smiles and nods.
Jordan Majors: I love you, too. I’ve got your back no matter what. I’ll always do everything I can to look out for you. I promise.
She puts her fist out towards Jessi and waits for a bump.
Jessi Ozborne: Promise.
Jessi returns the fist bump, with the two quickly transitioning into a hug. They leave the locker room as we fade.
MATCH #5: LENA GALANTE VS HANA KANEKO
As the crowd roars, Kaneko wastes no time, charging towards Galante with a thunderous lariat attempt. But Galante ducks just in time, countering with a swift arm trap neckbreaker that sends Kaneko crashing to the mat. With the momentum on her side, Galante takes control of the match, delivering a series of mounted elbows to Kaneko's chest.
Despite the onslaught, Kaneko fights back with resilience, showcasing her agility with a flurry of kicks and strikes aimed at Galante's midsection. Kaneko manages to land a bicycle knee strike followed by a devastating discus forearm, staggering Galante momentarily. Sensing an opportunity, Kaneko attempts to go for her signature move, the Handspring Cutter, but Galante counters with a well-timed cravate cutter, stunning Kaneko and turning the tide of the match once again.
With the crowd on their feet, Galante summons her last reserves of energy, hoisting Kaneko up onto her shoulders and delivering the Spice Rack (Double Knee Facebreaker). The impact reverberates through the ring as Kaneko crashes down to the canvas. Galante quickly goes for the cover, hooking the leg tightly as the referee slides into position for the count. The arena erupts as the referee's hand slaps the mat for the three-count, declaring Galante the victor.
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Lena! Galante!
Amber Westgate: After everything, The Undisputed Tag Team Champions stand tall to end the week, but will it be the same case next Saturday at Madness?
Adam LaRue: Right now, if I’m either The Nightmare or Rising Star Boulevard, I’m taking notes! Both sides of each team got handed a loss this week! Each of them needs to take time to evaluate things! Take inventory of their strengths and weaknesses compared to the opposition! I’d say a win next Saturday relies solely on who does so better than the other!
Galante celebrates as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (SPICE RACK)
The scene opens on a large, glossy wooden desk in an otherwise dark room with black walls, the only light coming from a bare bulb overhead. Sitting at the desk is a woman in a dark suit with an orange tie. Her hands are neatly folded on the desk in front of her. Her head is covered by an effect resembling her face being scratched out. Her voice is altered, being deeper and more garbled than otherwise natural.
?: Heaven and hell… Sorry to break it to you, but these places do not exist. They are constructs of humanity to strike fear into the hearts of man. There is no divine punishment nor salvation awaiting us at the end of our lives. No pearly gates or three headed dog. No… All that awaits us is a dark void where our souls go to wander eternally until we are cycled back and reborn anew.
A giggle escapes the mystery person. The sound is more eerie and disturbed than normal.
?: That, however, is not a good thing. You see, humanity is still determined to suffer… It’s like a game. While some run around trying to gather as many useless trinkets as possible before we die, some seek a different sort of prize.
The woman unfolds her hand and lays both palms flat on the desk, her long, sharp nails are a deep crimson red.
?: Some seek to hurt. Some look to drag the faces of their victims against the cobblestones of the earth under their feet. These are my favorite types of people… This is the type of person that…
A long beat passes. The viewer can almost feel the sinister grin on the figure’s obscured face.
?: This is the type of person that… he… is.
An image of a fallen wrestler in a trashed locker room flashes on screen for a split second.
?: Actually… That’s not accurate. He is not a person. He is not human. He… is a monster. He is a beast. He is a ğ̴͈̥̭i̸̯̫͈̭̩̽ȁ̴͇̖̰͇̪͑ň̷͓̄͂t̶̫̋…
Another distorted giggle.
?: He’s coming, Zion Wrestling. He is on a warpath. Nothing in this path is safe from destruction. You won’t see it coming until it’s too late. You will not realize what happened until everything around you is rubble and ash…
The figure raises a hand and twirls her fingers in an arrogant wave.
?: See you soon…
The figure begins to laugh. The echoing laughter ringing on long after the scene fades to black.

Adam LaRue: If I’m Samuel Lopez, I’m focused heading into this one! The Queens may seem respectful enough not to gang up on anyone, but they also recognize Lopez as a threat! That promise might go out the window real quick if Lopez presents himself as too much of a threat tonight!
The bell rings, and what almost everyone expects to happen happens! Ozborne, Darling, and Majors slowly begin to creep up on Lopez, with the man standing as stoic as ever as he sees the oncoming threat! They get closer and closer to him…until it’s revealed to be just a ruse, with the trio laughing at the notion they were trying to get across just then! They all begin to back off, but Ozborne decides to get the first shot in while Lopez eases up, going for a Superkick! Lopez catches the kick however, with Ozborne beginning to get nervous! She jumps up, connecting with an Enziguri counter! But it hardly has any effect on Lopez, as he grabs Ozborne right off the mat and slams her into the corner with a Deadlift German Suplex! Darling and Majors, not wanting any of that smoke, decide to go after each other!
Majors is the first to make a move, going for a Superkick to Darling! She misses it however, with Darling grabbing her from behind and lifting her for a German Suplex!

He’s sent kneeling, with Ozborne hitting the ropes and nailing him with Bitch-Craft! Inverted Shining Wizard connects! Ozborne looks to crawl over for the pin, only for Kaya Parker to rush in and nail her with a Knee Strike!

Amber Westgate: Come on, now! This is just petty!
Adam LaRue: Kaya Parker will not stop until she makes Jessi Ozborne’s career a living hell in every company they’re in together!

Darrion Hughes: Jessi Ozborne has been eliminated!
Amber Westgate: Kaya Parker may have just cost Jessi Ozborne her opportunity of main eventing Destiny!
Adam LaRue: Let’s not point all the fingers at Kaya as if we didn’t see what we just saw! Ozborne was left outcold, and Jordan Majors, her best friend, swooped in like a vulture to take advantage!
Ozborne rolls out of the ring, slowly regaining her bearings as she realizes what just happened! She looks back up at Majors, who’s already moved on to an exchange with Lopez, as she backs up the ramps! Ozborne looks emotionally hurt, as she takes her exit!

Amber Westgate: It’s Main Event time, and here we have three members of The Queens of Chaos sharing a ring with Samuel Lopez! If you’re Samuel Lopez, what’s going through your mind as you head into this match?
Adam LaRue: If I’m Samuel Lopez, I’m focused heading into this one! The Queens may seem respectful enough not to gang up on anyone, but they also recognize Lopez as a threat! That promise might go out the window real quick if Lopez presents himself as too much of a threat tonight!
The bell rings, and what almost everyone expects to happen happens! Ozborne, Darling, and Majors slowly begin to creep up on Lopez, with the man standing as stoic as ever as he sees the oncoming threat! They get closer and closer to him…until it’s revealed to be just a ruse, with the trio laughing at the notion they were trying to get across just then! They all begin to back off, but Ozborne decides to get the first shot in while Lopez eases up, going for a Superkick! Lopez catches the kick however, with Ozborne beginning to get nervous! She jumps up, connecting with an Enziguri counter! But it hardly has any effect on Lopez, as he grabs Ozborne right off the mat and slams her into the corner with a Deadlift German Suplex! Darling and Majors, not wanting any of that smoke, decide to go after each other!
Majors is the first to make a move, going for a Superkick to Darling! She misses it however, with Darling grabbing her from behind and lifting her for a German Suplex! Majors reverses however, dropping Darling to the mat with a Snapmare before jumping up and planting her with a Dropkick that sends her out of the ring! Majors hits the ropes, before coming back and landing on her on the outside with a Suicide Dive! She pulls Darling back to her feet, looking for another move! But Darling is able to reverse, taking Majors down with a Back Body Drop right on the concrete floor!
Meanwhile in the ring, Lopez pulls Ozborne to her feet, looking for another another move! Ozborne fights back, hitting him with a Jawbreaker! Ozborne rushes for the ropes, looking for a Springboard move! But Lopez catches her out of midair, dropping her with Clothesline! He pulls Ozborne back to her feet, dropping her with another Clothesline! He gets Ozborne up, dropping her with a German Suplex, before rolling through and dropping her with a Ripcord Lariat! Pin by Lopez!

She follows it up closely with a Kick to the side of the leg! She caps off the attack, looking for a Roundhouse Kick! Lopez ducks underneath it, but Ozborne always has a plan for that, following up with a Spin Kick to Lopez’s midsection! Ozborne looks to go to the ropes, but Lopez is already right back on her, grabbing her by the waistband of her tights before pulling her back in for a Back Suplex! Ozborne lands on her feet however, pushing Lopez from behind before pulling him to the mat for an O’Connor Roll!

She gets Ozborne back to her feet, setting her up before dropping her with a Powerbomb Lungblower!
Amber Westgate: Come on, now! This is just petty!
Adam LaRue: Kaya Parker will not stop until she makes Jessi Ozborne’s career a living hell in every company they’re in together!
Parker takes her exit, with Ozborne laid out on the mat clearly out of it! Meanwhile, Majors is able to fight off Darling, crawling into the ring on top of Ozborne for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: Jessi Ozborne has been eliminated!
Amber Westgate: Kaya Parker may have just cost Jessi Ozborne her opportunity of main eventing Destiny!
Adam LaRue: Let’s not point all the fingers at Kaya as if we didn’t see what we just saw! Ozborne was left outcold, and Jordan Majors, her best friend, swooped in like a vulture to take advantage!
Ozborne rolls out of the ring, slowly regaining her bearings as she realizes what just happened! She looks back up at Majors, who’s already moved on to an exchange with Lopez, as she backs up the ramps! Ozborne looks emotionally hurt, as she takes her exit!
Meanwhile in the ring, Majors looks to pull Lopez to his feet, only for him to take her down with a Jawbreaker! Majors stumbles back, right into a Half-and-Hald Suplex by Darling!

RESULT: PINFALL (CASH OUT)
Amber Westgate: This has been an exciting night of action! Of course all of this is building up to next Saturday’s Madness, and it’s safe to say the blue brand is well represented there!
Adam LaRue: That’s right, Amber! It starts early in the night as Fusion’s Maki Megumi takes on Risa Lemon for the Queen of Strong Style Championship! We’ve recently seen Megumi turn over a new leaf, but will she be able to take the throne as Queen of Strong Style while doing it the right way?
Amber Westgate: On the other end of things, The Nightmare has been living up to their name in the tag team division in recent weeks! Fusion’s Hana Kaneko and Eden Sterling take on Mayhem’s Rising Star Boulevard for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships in a match that’s sure to be filled with drama!
Adam LaRue: Yumi Akiyama has faced the torment of Yukiko Kusanagi for months at this point, and she’s hoping to put it all to an end next Saturday, as she takes her on one on one!
Amber Westgate: After her disgusting betrayal of the Queens of Chaos, and her own sister Lilith, Kaya Parker has been on a tear! But The World’s Finest looks to put that to end before it can truly even begin! Jessi Ozborne challenges Kaya Parker for her Gateway Championship at Madness!
Adam LaRue: Speaking of those who have been on a rampage, former partners and brothers in law go clash in a huge way, with Nicky Crawford looking to square off with the demon AZAZEL in a Wolfcreek Deathmatch!
Amber Westgate: In the main event of the night, 30 people enter, but only one will leave with a one way ticket to the main event of Destiny III in Arlington, Texas! Who will come out on top of the third annual Madness Rumble!
Adam LaRue: And those 30 competitors could be facing off to see who will meet one of these two at the biggest show of the year! Nadia Allen has been blazing a warpath through the Genesis of Destruction since their formation last year and it ends with the World Champion! Will Allen be able to take down the undefeated ISIS with the gold on the line! We find out all that and more next Saturday! But for more on that, we take you now to Devyn Mitchell!
[Back in the ring, Devyn Mitchell is located in the center of the ring. To her left is Nadia Allen, dressed in a blank tanktop and black jeans. Nadia sneers a bit as Devyn brings the microphone up to her lips.]
Devyn: Welcome back everyone! Once again I'm here with the one and only Nadia Allen!
[The crowd roars. Nadia gives a subtle nod to the audience as her eyes narrow a bit.]
Devyn: Naddy, before coming out here you told me you didn't want to waste any time. So the floor is yours. Tell us what's on your mind.
[Nadia glares at the microphone. She opens her mouth, however, jukes her head back a bit once the crowd chants her name. Nadia twists her head to the right, then left, peering into the crowd. Nadia cracks her neck a bit before speaking into the mic.]
Nadia: Three weeks ago, I put ISIS down.
[The crowd cheers.]
Nadia: Two weeks ago, I made it clear, I've been gunning for her for months. Now was the time to go after her.
Nadia: Two weeks ago, I made it clear, I've been gunning for her for months. Now was the time to go after her.
[She pauses, turning her attention to the entrance ramp.]
Nadia: Tonight, I know you're here ISIS. So I'm calling you out right now so I can get another pound of flesh.
Nadia: Tonight, I know you're here ISIS. So I'm calling you out right now so I can get another pound of flesh.
[The crowd roars as Nadia motions for Devyn to exist the ring.]
[The crowd buzzes with anticipation on whether ISIS would actually come out. They aren’t disappointed when “Bad” by Royal Deluxe plays. The World Champion is wearing street clothes. With the World Championship wrapped around her waist she slowly unhooks the belt. Carrying it in one hand she storms down to the ring. Resting her title on the ring apron she slides under the bottom rope. Nadia does give ISIS a chance to get upright. The two women immediately begin to brawl. “Bad” stops playing.
Both women connect with some clean shots. Neither are giving an inch. Nadia does clean ISIS clock with a headbutt the World Champion on the chin. This gives Nadia an opening to hoist ISIS for a T-Bone Suplex. The crowd roars. Nadia is fired up. ISIS did find herself near the ropes. Naturally she slides under the bottom rope creating some distance between her and Nadia Allen. Nadia goes to the ropes. Exits the ring. ISIS backs up creating some separation, as Nadia charges at the World Champion, ISIS instinctively executes an overhead Belly to Back suplex which sends Nadia into the barricade. The crowd grimaces as it appears Nadia landed awkwardly on her right shoulder.
ISIS doesn’t waste time. Propping Nadia up against the barricade, she proceeds to stomp away at Nadia’s shoulder. She refuses to let up. Leaning down to get face to face with Nadia, ISIS could be heard screaming “You don’t deserve a shot at my championship!”
She picks Nadia up. Pulling her a distance away from the barricade she irish whips Nadia into the barricade. ISIS dusts off her shoulder indicating she is done with all this. ISIS rushes at Nadia. At the last possible moment, Nadia dodges ISIS attempted spear. The World Champion crashes and burns. With a clear opening, Nadia mounts ISIS. She proceeds to ground and pound her.
There are boos coming from the crowd. Not because Nadia is giving ISIS an ass whooping, several members of security are rushing down the ramp. Nadia is so focused on what she is doing, she applies the Crossface Chickenwing. She has the hold cinched for a good five seconds before security pries Nadia off of ISIS.
To the amazement of some, ISIS slowly begins to pull herself up, albeit slowly. Nadia tries to fight through security. There are too many of them. With ISIS fully on her feet now, instead of trying to fight her way through the wall, she stares at Nadia. Realizing she wasn’t going to be able to bulldog her way through the wall, Nadia walks away only to grab the World Championship ISIS left behind. Returning to the wall of security, Nadia makes sure to hold the World Championship in the air as if it was hers. ISIS tries to fight through the security to no avail, then calms herself down. Both women continue to have a staring contest.
Amber Westgate: These two are as hot as they can be for next Saturday, but only one can walk away with the gold! Will this be the sight that we witness after next Saturday night?!
Finally, Nadia tosses the World Championship at ISIS. The two continue to lock eyes as we fade to black.
