“STARS” Original by Stardom begins to play and only to get a huge positive reaction by the crowd in Zion Wrestling Stadium giving Nami Megumi a warm welcome. As Nami walk through the curtains and enter the arena with a huge smile on her face making everyone feel less nervous about how she feel after Madness as Nami Megumi show her marriage ring to the camera before wave her hand to the crowd and walks towards the ring as she giving a high five to the fans at ringside before she taking the microphone from timekeeper area and Nami Megumi slide back inside the ring. And Nami Megumi looking around the Zion Wrestling Stadium as the crowd chants her name before their voice slowly fading as Megumi brought the microphone up to her lips.
Nami Megumi:So, for the last two weeks I think we will had a chance to celebrate here when I won the Rumble at Madness but just like everyone knows… I’m not! So give credit to Blaze Darling she deserved to win the Rumble and me? Even I’m not impress with result that much but time to accepted and move on. I want to move on to the next big things that coming up next week… yes I’m talking about Zion World Cup! That performance of me in the Madness make me join the first ever Zion World Cup and I want to win it because it mean I will have my title shot against Kara Carbajal who said she want to crush my dream by herself. I want to face her at Destiny III I want to face other than Maki Megumi in Destiny. Yeah and it mean this time it going to be something big like Kara Carbajal. But first I need to focus on the Zion World Cup that is going to start next week. I have a lot tough matches wait for me in the Zion World Cup and if I need to win it I want to win as much as possible in this tournament. I will use what I learn from my failure to help me to beat them in the Zion World Cup. So I still not say anything about Kara Carbajal that much on this time until I got my title shot on her I will say about her later because I not want her to mocking me for that. So we have another things to announce. Yeah… I said we because…
Nami Megumi:Please welcome… Haaaaana Meeeeegumi!
On cue with her name being called, Hana Kaneko had walked out onto the stage, just laughing behind her mask while she made her way down to the ringside area. Due to not normally being on Mayhem, her music wasn't prepared so she walked to the ring with the sound of the crowd. The Undisputed Tag Team Championship was comfortably laid out on her shoulder, electing to hold it rather than wear it around the waist. This was mainly to show the matching ring that was on her hand that was holding the championship. Hana took a microphone, looking around the arena for a moment then looked to Nami.
Hana Kaneko: “...I didn’t really expect to come out here tonight.”
Hana paused for a moment, looking down at the mat as she had scratched the back of her head.
Hana Kaneko: “But, yes! What Nami said was completely true, with the events that occured between the two of us over the last couple weeks, I've decided to take on her last name instead of having Nami take mine.”
There was another pause from Hana once she head the clapping from the people in attendance, waving to them as a sign of acknowledgement.
Hana Megumi: “I’ll let Zion management decide what happens, if they want to bill me as Kaneko or Megumi is really up to them. But, I can promise you that the type of wrestler that I am will not change. I don't plan to be any softer, I don't plan to be any less violent, and I don't plan to take my foot off the pedal any time soon. I will continue to be the best version of myself just like Nami is. She seems to know how she wants her future to play out in Zion, and I'm happy for her.”
Hana paused again, patting Nami on the head a couple times.
Hana Megumi: “I’m not completely sure what will happen to me by then, and that's me being completely honest. Maybe I'll still be Tag Team Champion with Eden, which we definitely don't plan on letting any team take them too easily. Genesis of Destruction is still alive and well, and we don't plan on letting petty differences divide us again like they did last time. But, I will be clear again. I do not regret what I said towards ISIS. I will not take back what I said, and I very much still mean what I said. But with that being said, those are things to talk about at a later date. Go ahead, Nami.”
Nami keep her an eyes towards Hana with a huge smile on her face before she nodded her head.
Nami Megumi:I’m glad that Hana won Tag Team Champion in Madness now she have that title was used to holding by me and I’m very glad for her. So about our future I didn’t know about it that much only things I know is me and Hana love each other and we will love forever and about our career we going to keep ourselves on the top of Zion Wrestling together for sure. So, yeah I’m here tonight even a plan had change a little bit but I want to let everyone who still didn’t know yet we agreed terms to married and now they can called me either Megumi or Kaneko as well… from now on me and Hana are going to do our best for whoever support me please support Hana as well. So, I not have an opinion about Genesis of Destruction right now I will not talking anything about them. So, about Blaze I congrats her enough for win that rumble only thing is I wish her to success from now on because I can only support her from this and I will be the one if in the end she got what she want. For today we already said what we want. We not going to bother everyone time anymore, so enjoy the show guys!
Nami said before she hand the microphone back to the timekeeper as her theme play again and Hana rolled out of the ring waiting for Nami who follows her down from the ring and their both holding their hands and walk to the backstage before scene fading away.
In a hazy room backstage, we see Hayumi Yamamoto with an infuriated look on her face as her plan for ridding the company of Rixley Stark and Nyx Blackthorn was thwarted by Josie Wales’ interference. Hayumi would speak out first.
Hayumi Yamamoto
“So, you wouldn't have the decency to crawl away. After we have decimated you time and time again, you still choose to linger… Stark. Blackthorn. You both are in grave danger, and I can smell your fear. It's… intoxicating!”
She said with a sadistic smile, before speaking about the wild card in this scenario.
Hayumi Yamamoto
“However, as weak as you are, the fact that you're relying on the biggest coward in the sport to save you is laughable. All of your proteges are flops, Josephine Wales. Portia was chased out of Zion. Your Regulators are too pathetic to fight. And Malaya… well… there was a reason why the Triad had to die and Hebi No Rengo had to form. Now, we can cut them down at the source.”
Then, Hayumi’s stablemates Akira Fujimoto and Lién Kamiya step into frame. Lién has her arms crossed across her chest and a stern look on her face. Akira has her head tilted to the side and her eyes wide open.
Lien Kamiya
“It seems that in Zion, when you pull out one weed, three more take its place. But that's fine, we will keep ripping out weeds like Stark and Blackthorn by the roots for as long as it takes.”
Akira Fujimoto
“I like that more playmates keep coming along. Gets boring beating up the same people every week. But I feel bad about fighting Josie Wales. She's so old. She might break her hip getting into the ring.”
Hayumi would chuckle at that comment, as she replied to Akira.
Hayumi Yamamoto
“It's not her head she should worry about… it's her neck.”
She says, with a villainous laugh while the Haze would encompass them, fading out to the match.
OPENING CONTEST: JOSIE WALES & NYX N’ RIX VS HEBI NO RENGO
Vivian Blake: The following Trios Contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…at a combined 383 lbs…the team of Hayumi Yamamoto, Lien Kamiya, and Akira Fujimoto…Hebi! No! Rengo!
And their opponents, first…at a combined weight of 245 lbs…Rixley Stark and Nyx Blackthorn…Nyx! N’! Rix!
And their partner…from St. Louis, Missouri…weighing in at 146 lbs…Josie! Wales!

Winter Mae: Surprisingly, she’s been given clearance by Katrina Lopez to lace up the boots and step into a Zion ring for one night only, and I can’t blame her! Hebi No Rengo has made life on Mayhem a living hell for Nyx n’ Rix! It’s only fitting that she comes to help put them away!
The match would open up with Lien Kamiya and Nyx Blackthorn, as the opening exchange has Nyx going for Kamiya's hair. She takes her over with a snapmare and drives a knee into her back, as she wrenches her neck. She goes for another attack, but Lien would connect with a back elbow to the side of her head to loosen the hold. Kamiya would slip out of the hold, as she clobbered Nyx in the back of the head with a forearm, as she maneuvered in for a heel hook on Nyx. She wrenched her leg, causing her to squall in pain, but Nyx would kick Lien away with her free leg. Both get to their feet, as Lien would intercept her with a low kick to her calf. She followed up with a spinning back thrust kick to the midsection, as Lien brings her in to tag Hayumi into action. Hayumi would apply a Tarantula to her while Lien stepped back to superkick the vulnerable Nyx Blackthorn.
Hayumi would bring Nyx up, as she tagged in Akira. Akira would run to the opposite side of the ropes, as Hayumi dropped her down into a pendulum backbreaker and holds the position. Akira would leap in and soar through the air, as she connected with a hesitation dropkick on Nyx, as she went for a cover.
ONE…!
TWO…!
Nyx would kick out with authority, as Akira would clutch Nyx with a shoulder lock, as she goes for some blows to the midsection. Akira would go for a snap suplex, but Nyx would land on her feet after turning in the air. She hits Akira with a forearm to the back of the head. She followed up with a ripcord clothesline to level her. Nyx would get some distance, as she lunged in to tag Rixley. Rixley would rush in with a big boot to knock Akira back to the mat. She would then capitalize with a swinging neckbreaker, and an attempt for a quick pin attempt.
ONE…!
TWO…!
Akira would kick out, with Rixley going to straddle her for more punches. Rixley would start to get her up to her feet, but Akira clawed at her eyes. She moved her in to tag in Hayumi, as both lifted Rixley up for a double brainbuster and leveled her with the move. Hayumi goes to pin…
ONE…!
TWO…!
Broken up by Nyx Blackthorn! Lien goes in to fight Nyx, as the two would square up and tumble over the ropes. Hayumi goes to set up Rixley for the scissor kick, as Josie shouted at her, knowing Hayumi's ego wouldn't let her go unharmed. She kicked Rixley in the stomach, shouting at her to tag Josie in, which Josie doesn't give Rixley a choice and tagged her. She walked in to square up to Hayumi, as the two came to blows in the center of the ring. Both repeat strikes at each other, until Hayumi blocked a forearm. She would connect with a knee to the midsection, and goes for the scissor kick. She rebounds to the ropes, before Josie scooped her up with a fireman's carry. She moved her to the corner to connect with a spinning flapjack into the turnbuckle. Hayumi is staggered, as Josie runs to the ropes to level her with a bicycle kick. She would quickly tuck her in for the Rio Lobo Driver, the move Jane Adler inherited. Josie planted her…
ONE…!
TWO…!
Broken up by Akira after hitting Josie with a shining wizard! Josie is dazed, as Hayumi goes to capitalize with the pin.
ONE…!
TWO…
Josie kicked out, as Akira and Hayumi attack her. Nyx runs back into the ring to pull Akira off her, as she tossed her to the outside. Josie goes back to the corner to give Rixley the blind tag. Josie runs to the outside with her over the top rope crossbody plancha to Hebi No Rengo! Hayumi is isolated, as Rixley would spring in to connect with the Rockwall Lariat, and a cover!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…Josie Wales, and Nyx n’ Rix!
Winter Mae: What a win, and what a feel good moment for Josie Wales and her students!
Kyle Cassidy: I guess there’s a reason Josie is the master and others with Zion are the students! She definitely knows how to go in that ring! Still, you have to assume that Hebi No Rengo is not done with Nyx n’ Rix! The Outlaw may have come in clutch tonight, but she won’t always be there! Pretty soon the snakes are gonna choose their moment to strike again!
Wales celebrates in the middle of the ring, with Blackthorn and Stark standing to either side of her as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (ROCKWALL LARIAT)
The footage shows the backstage area of the Zion Wrestling stadium not long after Sean Parker’s elimination from the Madness Rumble. He looks exhausted, both mentally and physically. Slouching against the wall, he slumps down into a seated position, hunched over, looking completely drained. Suddenly, a slow, mocking applause can be heard which catches Sean’s attention and he looks towards the origin of the sound. Seeing who is doing the clapping, he rolls his eyes tiredly, leaning his head back against the wall defeatedly. A moment later and Zachary Porter walks into frame, a cocky grin stretched across his face. He keeps clapping as he stands in front of Sean before stooping down directly in front of him.
Zachary Porter: Bravo, Sean. Got to hand it to ya. You were a workhorse out there. Might have broken a record. Amber [Westgate] will tweet about it later. Who knows. Judging by the soul crushing look on your face, none of that matters, hm?
Zach doesn’t bother to hide the condescending smirk on his face.
Zachary Porter: You are looking at the guy who crushed your dreams of main eventing Destiny III. Just like I said I would. I called my shot didn’t I? Didn’t I tweet that I would eliminate YOU myself? Not a fan of baseball but I am Zion Wrestling’s Babe fn Ruth. My word is as good as gold when it comes to me and you. You didn’t get the number thirty spot because of me. You didn’t win Madness because of me. I own you, Sean! Might as well get a tattoo reading “I Am Zachary Porter’s bitch.”
Zach arrogantly laughs it up. He waits for Sean to say something, anything. The former Endurance Champion can’t bring himself to say anything to the man having a field day mocking him.
Zachary Porter: When are you going to accept that The Void runs Mayhem, Sean? Quit. Beg Katrina to ship you to Fusion. As long as The Void exists, you’ll never find happiness on Mayhem. We are the boogyman you can’t overcome. We are the albatross around your neck you can’t free yourself of. The Kingdom couldn’t humble us. What chance do you really have, hmm? You haven’t been smart throughout all this, I won’t hold my breath. See you around Sean... for your sake don’t show up or else you will be dragged so far into The Void this pity party you’re throwing for yourself will be childsplay in comparison to the hell we will force you to experience.
Zachary Porter waves farewell to the clearly dejected Sean Parker. As he walks off, Sean remains in his seated position, looking like the weight of the world is crushing him. He looks completely devoid of any positive energy or strength, almost like a stiff breeze would knock him over.
Sean Parker: I was so close…
Sean’s voice is no louder than a whisper. He speaks slightly louder.
Sean Parker: I was so fucking close…and you know what I’ve got to do now? I’ve got a tapingU for Five Lakes Wrestling in White Plains… I’ve got the fucking stupid TRIAD draft party filled with mindless sycophantic wankers, and I’ve got an XWF Anarchy Championship match to prep for….
Sean pinches the bridge of his nose at his tear ducts with his thumb and forefinger, closing his eyes tight before he continues. He opens his eyes and runs his hands through his sweat-soaked hair.
Sean Parker: Fuck, I really wanted to win that Rumble. I really wanted to do it. I was this close…
Sean holds his index and thumb close to each other, emphasizing a very small gap.
Sean Parker: ...this fucking close. It was my time…I knew it. I felt it!
He takes in a deep exhalation, finally, albeit jadedly, climbing up from his seated position to now being on one knee, looking helplessly at the floor.
Sean Parker: A whole hour I lasted and for what? Zachary fucking Porter to get the drop on me just like he said he did? Just another failed chapter in the 2024 story of Sean Parker. This was meant to be my year! I was going to use this as a launchpad, set the Mayhem roster on notice, let them know that it’s not all about the Kingdom, not all about the Void, that there’s a guy here who’s been slowly but surely working his way up the ladder, ready to snatch the brass ring…
Sean takes another long moment before he speaks again. He looks up at the ceiling this time.
Sean Parker: Fuck it, I don’t want to do this anymore, man; I’m done…I don’t want this anymore.
It takes all the energy in the world for Sean just to bring himself up to his feet, pain-filled involuntary grunts escaping his mouth as he does so.
Sean Parker: When it comes to the Void, I’m fucking done. I don’t want to feel like this anymore. I’m out of here.
Sean pushes past the camera as the footage comes to a close and the cameras return to the arena. We’re now backstage with Meliana Rodrigo.
Meliana: Sean Parker had some pretty harrowing words after his elimination from the Madness Rumble and he was kind enough to take some time to talk to me earlier today. Let’s take a look at what the former Endurance Champion had to say.
The footage transitions to an interview room where Sean Parker and Meliana Rodrigo are sat next to each other.
Meliana: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the King of the Skies, Sean Parker. Just a week after an incredible Madness Rumble. Now Sean, I know the outcome of the rumble wasn’t what you wanted, you spoke to me before about having desires to win it, to challenge for the Global Heavyweight Championship and you ended up being eliminated by Zachary Porter after spending over an hour in the match. And afterwards, you looked very despondent, probably the most downhearted we’ve seen you, especially after Zachary Porter left with some pretty harsh words for you himself. You said something along the lines of “you were done.” Was that just an in-the-moment thing or have you had some time to reflect on things?.
Sean looks impassive, poker-faced as he speaks.
Sean Parker: You know, Meliana, I won’t lie…last week was brutal. I came out, like Billy Big Balls, claiming I was going to go in and win the Rumble, put on the performance of a lifetime and it blew up in my face. Porter might not have won the Rumble either but he did deliver on a promise and that was eliminating me. And I have to live with that hubris. So yeah, I was feeling probably the lowest I’ve been since I suffered my back injury all those years ago. And in that moment, all I wanted to do was cry and let the ground swallow me up…
Sean turns from Meliana to look into the camera.
Sean Parker: But you know what? In pro wrestling, when you’re firing shots at other people, sometimes you have to be prepared to take some back on the chin and then some. And Zachary Porter has fired some pretty shots - all of them true. He did crush my dreams of main-eventing Destiny III
But you know have no idea what I’ve been through on my journey to get to this point, Zachary. You probably don’t even know because you and the rest of the Void keep yourselves closed off within the safety net of Zion, shielded from the cruelties the rest of the wrestling world has to offer.
I’ve risked my life wrestling in a fucking fight pit in Cambodia… I found out my uncle - the closest man I had to a father - kept a secret that he knew where my mum was after she abandoned me when I was two and stopped her from getting in touch with me… I’ve had to battle painkiller addiction because of the injury I suffered when I was 16 when I fractured my fucking spine… I was on the verge of securing a shot at the XWF Universal Championship before a little cunt, not unlike you, decided to get in my business a give me a six-inch laceration in my fucking forehead…and you’re not happy because you didn’t get to have a title shot in your hometown? Boo-fucking-hoo, Zach, first world problems mate!
Sean begins to feel himself getting riled up, taking big deep breaths, trying to stay composed.
Sean Parker: But you know what I’ve done? I’ve dragged myself back. I’ve kept on going, I’ve stayed the course and I’m done feeling sorry for myself. See, I know the Void have numbers, it’s why they’ve been so dominant, because they always have the numbers advantage and nobody, not even the Kingdom has had the strength to stand up to them. And I know I don’t have any friends here. Akane Yamashita, ironically the only ally I had, has a stick up her arse because I accidentally eliminated her from the Rumble. But I don’t care because I’m not the same person I’ve always been since I arrived here in Zion since I came in last July and beat Cara Carnage. I’m not the smiley-smiley, happy-go-lucky, flippy-flippy guy wanting to put on bangers anymore. I’m a fucking animal, now Zach, a vicious animal, pacing back-and-forth inside his cage, dying to break free!
So call me what you want! Overrated, just another pretender, hell call me a pussy if you want but I’m the same guy who knocked over Robert Kaiden Oakley, who beat two-time Internet Champion, Jack Morrison, longest-reigning UPRISING Silver State Champion Serenity Holmes, former Undisputed Champion Serena Riot! I’ve done all that and without anyone helping me along the way! Without any overrated lackeys at my beck-and-call!
Sean stands up from his seated position, his face like thunder as he stares menacingly into the camera.
Sean Parker: I’ve done all that, because when it’s all said and done, the name that is synonymous with Sean Parker is “Assassin”, bruv! And when the time comes, when I get my target in my sights, I don’t aim to wound, I aim to kill, bruv! And that’s what’s going to happen to you, Porter, to Ortiz, to that little cuntmuppet Eduardo! Like I said online, I don’t care if it’s at Mayhem, if it’s at Destiny, the World Cup or in a fucking parking lot outside Subway because I am done playing nice! It’s time for blood! It’s time to get down and dirty! I’m going to take you places you don’t EVER want to go, in front of your friends, family, ANYONE who supports or associates themselves with the Void! I’m going to separate your head from your shoulders with a Masamune Decapitation, I’m going to take the Blade of Miquella and cut your fucking chest open, Zach and I’m going to eat your fucking heart, bruv!
Sean is utterly seething now, his chest heaving as he stares daggers through the camera.
Sean Parker: And when I’m done with you, Zach…Kara Carbajal, I’m coming for you! You’re nothing but an opportunistic narcissist. You relied on Porter’s distraction and that briefcase to beat Razzles Mars back at Foundations of Decay and you had to rely on that briefcase to insert yourself into that match at Madness, why? Because for all that strength, you can’t do the job on your own, can you? I don’t care what I have to do, I will expose you, I will humiliate you and I will take the Global Heavyweight Championship one way or another and the Void will be nothing but a horrible memory.
This is my declaration of intent, my only warning, my only mercy I am affording to the Void and, by extension, to anyone else who wants to get in my way…Nami, Akane, anyone! The Assassin has awoken and he’s coming for blood!
Sean rips off his microphone attached to his hoodie, creating a staticy sound as the footage comes to a close and the cameras return back to the arena.
The following video was recorded two days ago at a nightclub. The camera shows the colorful lights flashing as there are many people on the dance floor having a very good time. And as the camera whirls around, we find two familiar people on the second floor overlooking the crowd seated at a booth together. That would be Kevin Mears, wearing a black and red silk shirt with black pants as well as Carmen Santana dressed in a low-cut white dress with a bejeweled collar. Length-wise, it barely past her hip. She wore heels that made her about 4 inches taller. The finishing touch? Two diamond-shaped diamond earrings.
Kevin Mears: Welcome to Club Space in Miami, Florida. As always, I’m Kevin Mears and this right here is my protege, the eye candy if you will, none other than Carmen Santana.
He slides out of the booth with her, and holds up her arm to let her give a twirl for the camera to show off her outfit.
Kevin Mears: Look at that dress. I bought that for her earlier today.
Carmen would do another twirl, needing a few more seconds to admire her look. Of course they had indulged themselves in some drinking. They had the money and the time to let loose a little. He leans in to share something with her.
Kevin Mears: And before you ask, Zion pays me to do these for the shows. Which means you get a percentage of that too.
Carmen Santana: I was not going to ask. It’s all legitimate money, I knew that! All from this promotion that books you a couple times a month, or some lo-vely patrons who sit and watch you re-play games from 20 years ago.
Kevin Mears: That’s what paid for this new dress you’re sporting. You’re welcome, by the way. It also is paying for your drinks and tonight’s bottle service.
Carmen leaned in, as if to speak to the camera and those watching.
Carmen Santana: THANKS, EVERYBODY! I’ll make sure to not waste a cent!
The gleeful benefactor turned her head to address Kevin as an aside, but it wasn’t much of one.
Carmen Santana: Just…just make make sure that that-
She would point in the direction of the camera.
…isn’t in my face after a couple more drinks. Just in case, I’m not giving shit away for free, okay?
Kevin Mears: No worries, I’m the one paying for it so you can just give it to me. Easy.
He said with a grin before taking a seat at the opening to the booth and encouraging Carmen to join him.
Even though I’m not booked this week, you mentioned something to me the other day that I think deserves some discussion. Apparently Carmen here is getting the itch to get her hands dirty as an active competitor again. For those who didn’t know, I kinda took her under my wing in our last promotion and she really started to shine. You’re welcome for that too, by the way.
Carmen would slide into the booth beside him. The camera was already there and she wasn’t going to turn her back on it. She sighed, leaning her head slightly on his shoulder.
Carmen Santana: Well, I just feel like there’s more that I, or we, could do and it’s a shame. Why shouldn’t we give this a shot? Otherwise it’s so much wasted potential!
Kevin looks over towards her as she has her head on his shoulder.
Kevin Mears: So what you would like us to look into is you and I forming a tag team then? And still be in my corner for matches too?
Carmen would pick up a drink that was either meant for her, or Kevin. Either way, she consumed its contents before replying.
Carmen Santana: We are already a team. But I mean like, sure, I can sign an in-ring deal and we can both get some action in together. I’m good at standing in your corner, and the bonuses are still a thing, right? Why would I stop doing that?
Kevin Mears: Of course. Your bonus from this segment is what bought you this new dress.
He said as he touched the fabric on her abdomen.
Kevin Mears: Let me do the negotiating on your deal, and we’ll look into that. You realize that if you do this though and team up with me, there’s a chance you could end up facing Livvie and Serenity. And I know how much you respect Serenity.
Carmen’s head again rested on his shoulder. She even hugged him by the arm, tracing one of his tattoos.
Carmen Santana: She gets it, I’m sure. You’re telling me she wouldn’t beat you up in a match? She literally has. Besides I just meant that I’d never…
Carmen started to straighten up and turn her head, their heads were level and facing one other, barely a space between them.
Kevin Mears: If that’s what you want to do, that’s what we’ll do. I’ll handle the contract stuff for you though, and you’re in charge of team names…after you’re sober. You got yourself a tag partner.
He said with a smile as he met her gaze.
Kevin Mears: Starting to look like there’s another Ace in this deck full of jokers, isn’t it?
Carmen would return the smile, letting the glance they shared linger for a bit.
The camera even began to zoom in. The pair both stuck out an arm to block the camera. In Kevin’s hand, his signature ace of spades. In Carmen’s, the ace of diamonds. Those were the last images before the scene faded to black and ended.
“Through The Never” by Metallica blasts out of the PA system and the fans boo heavily as out walk Eduardo Gutiérrez, Zachary Porter, Miguel Ortiz and the Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara “Killer” Carbajal with her championship draped over her shoulder. She then raises it high above her head while Ortiz and Porter point to her and Gutiérrez applauds before the four of them begin to make their way down the ramp.
Winter Mae: Well here comes The Void along with our brand new Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara Carbajal.
Kyle Cassidy: We all knew that Chance Briefcase was going to come into play eventually and KC saw the opportunity and she took it.
The Void reach the bottom of the ramp and they all proceed to enter the ring before Gutiérrez demands four microphones and he hands one each to Carbajal, Ortiz and Porter and keeping the fourth for himself as “Through The Never” fades out.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Damas y caballeros… please show your respect for your brand new Global Heavyweight Champion! She is the Mamacita of Mayhem! The Void Queen! Kara “Killer” Carbajal!
The fans boo heavily which appears to upset Gutiérrez, however Carbajal doesn’t seem all that bothered as she puts her arm around him.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Ignore them, Ed. They’re just jealous. Thank you for that introduction.
The Global Heavyweight Champion gives the young Spaniard a little peck on the cheek which causes him to grin like a Cheshire cat before Carbajal then turns serious as she focuses her attention on the hard camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Whether you people like it or not?! Mamacita is back on top where she belongs, baby! But despite that… we still appear to have some detractors out there. The Nami Megumi’s and Sean Parker’s of the world… they don’t seem to take The Void seriously. Whenever they fail in their own journey to try and get to the top of the mountain that we control? They immediately blame us for it. Not only that… but they can’t seem to get it through their thick skulls that we are more than capable of handling shit on our own. So I think it’s time to remind them that we can.
She paces the ring as the other three men in the ring with her nod in agreement.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I may as well start. I have been one of the most dominant wrestlers to ever step foot into this ring since I debuted. Long before The Void was even a thing, I was destroying everyone put in the ring with me. I acquired the Chance Briefcase by winning a Battle Royal all on my own. And both times I won this championship I have over my shoulder? I did it on my own. Hell, I didn’t even wait until the end of Morgan Payne’s match with Teresa Morgan. Instead I gave them a fighting chance and cashed in during the match… but I still came out on top and I did it on… my… own.
All the members of The Void nod in unison. Zach brings the microphone to his lips indicating he wants to speak next.
Zachary Porter: Speaking of handling business all by themselves. I am the first ever Madness Rumble winner. Accomplished that feat all by myself. I am STILL the greatest World Champion in Fusion history. Made my name on Fusion, all by myself. I didn’t need anyone to beat Sean the first time. On. My. Own. Shame you people can’t escape your feelings to recognize greatness, but meh. It is what it is at this rate.
The crowd boos Zach. He allows them to shower him with hatred, especially after the footage they saw earlier of him mocking a heartbroken Sean Parker. The booing only fills Zach’s black heart more and more. Once the noise subsides, he continues.
Zachary Porter: I have some news for you people. Our general manager, Katrina, informed me I am participating in the Zion World Cup. Let's be real, you can’t celebrate the best in the world without including the man who carried Zion on his back. My insertion in the World Cup is a no brainer.
Gutiérrez pats Porter on the back and applauds.
Zachary Porter: Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. What if I win? What if me and KC fight each other again over a World Championship? The Void supports each other. That’s what makes us family. The Queens of Chaos kick each other's asses on occasion, no one goes “they are going to break up, aren’t they?”
The rest of the group nod.
Zachary Porter: I would have preferred to win the Madness Rumble, cross the line over to Fusion, challenge ISIS, and bring the World Championship over here to Mayhem. Nami ruined my moment. I made a promise that as long as she breathes the same air as me, she would never be a World Champion on this brand. I intend to keep my word. Anyway, KC understands my desire to main event Destiny III in my hometown. This is my last chance. So Sean, Nami, and the rest of you dying for a chance to be the first Zion World Cup winner? Spoiler alert, you are looking at the winner. Love it or hate it, there will be an all Void main event.
Miguel raised his own microphone, smirking at jeers from the crowd. He let them go on for a minute or so before he finally began to speak.
Miguel Ortiz: The tag team titles…won on our own. The Gateway title…won on my own. The Void is a family of excellence, and it’s time that all of you idiots in the crowd and in the back remember that.
Ortiz paused for a moment as he looked around at the other members of the group. His gaze lingered on KC for a moment before he raised the microphone again.
Miguel Ortiz: We are the top group in this company! We have the top championship for Mayhem in our group, and KC is right back on top where she rightfully belongs. You can jeer and boo all you want, but it was only a matter of time before what was rightfully hers was back with her!
Another pause, another loud round of booing from the crowd.
Miguel Ortiz: When we say we're the top, we've proven it time and time again. Queens of Chaos? Dealt with. The Kingdom? Dealt with and still being dealt with in terms of Nami. Zach is dealing with Sean Parker. There is NO ONE better than us, and you morons in the back and out here just need to deal with it.
Gutiérrez pats Ortiz on the back before he raises the microphone to his lips again.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: At the end of the day? Mi hermanos and mi Mamacita will continue to dominate and will continue to prove all of you naysayers wrong!
The young Spaniard then tosses his microphone and then removes the toothpick he had in his mouth before flicking it towards the camera. He then puts his closed fist out in front of him as Porter, Ortiz and Carbajal all drop their microphone as well and placing their closed fists next to Gutiérrez’s while Carbajal raises her title up above her head as we cut to a commercial break.
Winter Mae: Well here comes The Void along with our brand new Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara Carbajal.
Kyle Cassidy: We all knew that Chance Briefcase was going to come into play eventually and KC saw the opportunity and she took it.
The Void reach the bottom of the ramp and they all proceed to enter the ring before Gutiérrez demands four microphones and he hands one each to Carbajal, Ortiz and Porter and keeping the fourth for himself as “Through The Never” fades out.

RESULT: SUBMISSION (ETERNAL TWILIGHT)
Akane Yamashta was first seen in the main locker room, dressed in her ring gear despite not being scheduled to wrestle on the show. The Zion Endurance Championship was sitting on her shoulder while SHINE’s Cruiserweight Championship was secured around her waist. Akane was speaking with Hana Kaneko, someone who had a lot of influence in the career of Akane, the person who helped her see that there was more to professional wrestling to deathmatches. Their conversation ended with a hug between the two of them, Akane nodding and walking out of the room.
Yamashita walked down the hallway, where she walked past Sean Parker, causing Akane to stop for a second.
Akane Yamashta: “Sean! Hey, I've been meaning to try to find you all day, I haven't been able to until now. I wanted to talk to you for a bit if you don't have anywhere to be.”
Akane paused in her speech, scratching the back of her head and looked down to the floor for a second, then smiled as she looked back up at Parker who clearly had a lot that he was already dealing with. Just the look on his face was enough to draw that conclusion.
Akane Yamashta: “So…about the Madness Rumble. I did rewatch the match and I did notice what you said, when you said that you didn't eliminate me on purpose. I did see that, I know you were dealing with the Void and plenty of other things at the same time and your full intention wasn't to eliminate me, at that point in time anyways. I just wanted to apologize for jumping to conclusions so soon. I know you have a lot of enemies around here, but I want to make sure you know that I'm not always going to be that. If we aren't standing in opposite corners of each other, I don't have an issue with you. I admire you, as you already know.”
Sean remained poker-faced for a long moment, digesting Akane’s words, his arms folded across his chest.
Sean Parker: I’m not interested in making more enemies, Yamashita-san…but at the same time, I’m no longer interested in suffering fools who jump to conclusions. You questioned my integrity, my character, Yamashita-san and that’s not something I forget easily. You still have some of my respect but a small portion of it was lost in that moment. That being said, you don’t have to worry about watching your back with me.
Akane was nodding, still having a bright smile on her face that was hard to take away. She understood everything that he said, humming while she was thinking about what to respond with.
Akane Yamashta: “Well! That settles that, then. I'll let you know as well, if you find yourself outnumbered against that always growing group of idiots, I'm not very hard to find. You don't have to fight every battle by yourself. That's also not something that you can teach yourself, it takes a crowd to learn certain things. But I'm not trying to tell you how to do anything either. I'm sure one day we will share the ring again, whether that's across from each other or next to each other. I look forward to it regardless.”
Another nod came from Yamashta, she had extended the free hand that wasn't holding onto the Endurance Championship and held it out for Sean, leaving it up to him to return the gesture or not. Sean stared at the outstretched hand for a moment before extending his own one out and gripped Akane’s, shaking it. His expression remain unchanged it and all that indicated anything otherwise was a small, subtle nod of his head as he walked off.
Akane Yamashta: “Oh! Also, coming up tonight is a #1 Contenders match to see who's going to be facing me next. I wish the both of you the best of luck, but I'm afraid that no matter who wins that match you both will have the same fate because I don't plan on giving this up anytime soon. So, whoever gets the chance to step up better be prepared to show me everything they have! Have fun, you two.”
As the cameras return to ringside, we’re met with the sudden guitar drop of The Amity Affliction’s “Pittsburgh” over the P.A. The Zion Wrestling Arena nearly loses its roof as Morgan Payne wastes no time in walking out in a pair of baggy, black jeans, her Timbs, and another custom designed jersey, fashioned after a European football team in black and gold with the number “95” and her last name, “PAYNE” on the back. The Italian flag crest on the left breast where the team’s country is displayed. Her hair is braided back, and she wears a “The Kingdom” skullcap over her head as she approaches the ring in an all business manner, touching the outstretched hands of fans on the way.
Winter Mae: ”Here she comes. The former Global Heavyweight Champion, Morgan Payne. I’m sure she’s got a lot on her mind.”
Kyle Cassidy: ”After all that transpired at Madness? I can imagine. She did not have a good night and to make matters worse, she had to let that sink into her gut for the rest of the show as that match was only the beginning of a wild event!”
Morgan enters the ring and climbs the turnbuckle, gazing out at the adoring crowd with a bittersweet look on her face before she climbs down and is handed a microphone from Vivian Blake. She moves to the center of the ring as her music fades out and we’re left with the crowd in a “MOR-GAN PAYNE” chant. Morgan smiles despite herself, bringing the mic up to speak but pauses as the crowd is still going. She runs a hand down her mouth and waits, letting the crowd get it out of their system before finally raising the mic to speak.
Morgan Payne: ”Hell…thanks, Orlando. Before I start, tell me, WHATCHINZ UP TO?!”
Crowd: ”WHATCHINZ UP TO?!”
Morgan Payne: ”Oh yinz wanna know what I been up to?”
She points to herself as if to ask “little ol’ me?” before shrugging her shoulders and pacing around for another moment.
Morgan Payne: ”Well…I’ma be honest…I been doin’ some thinkin’. Reflection’ n’at. Ahnno most o’yinz prolly caught Madness just over a week ago an’ if yinz didn’t, ahnno by now ya heard abaht it an’ if not well then, tha proof’s standin’ in front o’ya right here.”
Morgan outstretches her empty hand and looks herself over, humbly finishing her self scan down to her waist and cranes her head to the side.
Morgan Payne: ”I lost a lil bit o’weight since then. Abaht twenty pahnds, give or take. An’ I’ma be honest? It don’t feel right. See, I don’t like droppin’ kilos like I did at Madness. It feels wrong. Feels dirty. Ever since then, I been walkin’ arahnd, an’ I feel too light. I ain’t used to it. I struggled wif weight issues before an’ I got over ‘em, but dis time…man…I’ma be real, it made me realize somethin’ an’ dat’s why I came aht here, cuz it’s somethin’ needs addressin’.”
Morgan takes a deep breath, turning her head up towards the ceiling as she closes her eyes and lets that breath back out before continuing.
Morgan Payne: ”S’no secret dat a couple years ago, I hit a low point in my life an’ I ended up in rehab for substance abuse. I lost three months o’my career, three months o’my life because I let addiction control everything I did. An’ after I got ahtta rehab, I had my struggles, I had my moments. But as time went ahn, gettin’ over ‘em got easier. For awhile I thought I was good. I hit two years o’sobriety an’ cleanliness just dis past November last year. I was proud o’dat—”
She’s taken aback by a rise in applause from the crowd and she smiles, humbly.
Morgan Payne: ”...Shit, thank you. Nephs. But see, then I realized somethin’...”
Morgan turns serious again, finding a moment to collect herself.
Morgan Payne: ”I realized dat somethin’ like addiction can always come back an’ creep up on ya. You might kick it for one thing but then somethin’ else can come right in an’ replace it an’ dat’s what happened. S’why I’m aht here to confess to everybody here…my name is Morgan Payne an’…I am a drug addict…”
A hushed silence falls over the crowd as Morgan looks around the stunned faces in the crowd.
Kyle Cassidy: ”Wait, what…?”
Winter Mae: ”I…I don’t know…”
Morgan looks at the fans apologetically. A sadness in her eyes as she lets those words sink in before lifting the mic up.
Morgan Payne: ”I thought I beat my addiction when I came back t’dis world in 2022 but like I said…dat shit never goes away… Nah, it just manifests in different forms. I may have kicked my addiction t’booze. I may have kicked my addiction t’painkillers. But I got an addiction now dat anyone in dis industry can catch…a whole new drug o’choice…an’ dat drug…”
Another pause as Morgan looks directly into the camera at the corner of the ring and steps towards it.
Morgan Payne: ”...is gold!”
Winter Mae: ”Ooooooooh…”
Kyle Cassidy: ”Hahahahaaaaaaaaaa!”
There’s a sound of relief from the crowd as Morgan paces around the ring again, this time with more pep to her step.
Morgan Payne: ”Not just any kinda gold, though…nah nah…s’gotta be a certain type, yanno? Errybody likes they own certain brand o’anything. When I was boozin’ an’ poppin’ pills, it was washin’ back vicodin wif “Ahrn” City an’ Jameson. Dis new addiction? My gold addiction? Heh…it can’t be sated wif just anything, nah. No gold necklaces. No gold rings. No coin collection. None o’dat shit. Nah, I need a specific type o’gold an’ dat…is championship gold.”
The crowd pops, feeling the fire she’s putting out and starting to pick up the hints that she’s putting down for them.
Morgan Payne: ”I had a nice supply of it, too until Madness rolled arahnd an’ then it was taken from me. Not just taken, nah nah, dat shit was stolen from me! An’ yinz know who tha culprit is. Ahnno who tha culprit is. Shit, tha muthafuckin’ culprit herself knows who she is. Talkin’ abaht you, Kara Carbajal. Yeah, ahnno you prolly sittin’ back there right now, Global Heavyweight belt on ya shoulder, watchin’ wif dat lil smug, shit ass grin o’yers. An’ you know whatchu did. Deep dahn in dat empty pit o’yers where most people have heart an’ guts, you know whatchu did. Much as you’ll sit there an’ call yourself a bad bitch an’ tha one who runs Mayhem, yanno damn well whatchu did. You took a fuckin’ shortcut t’get back tha title I beat you for. ‘Cuz let’s look at tha history books, Killer. You an’ me’ve had three proper matches. Three.”
She holds up three fingers to the camera, staring into the lens once again before dropping that arm and resting it on the turnbuckle as she leans against it.
Morgan Payne: Three matches an’ you only beat me…once...”
She lifts the hand again with her index finger up then drops it across the turnbuckle again.
Morgan Payne: ”Not only dat, but’chu only beat me by catchin’ be blindsided - literally. That other two times? I beat yo ass as clean as a fuckin’ whistle. Back to back. Tha second time, I took dat title o’yers. An’ you might say you did tha smart thing in gettin’ it back an’ waited until tha opportunity was right. I’d like t’stand here an’ say dat ain’t how tha business we’re in works but, unfortunately, sometimes it is. Some people need t’take shortcuts t’get t’tha top cuz they can’t hold a candle t’tha rest o’us dat bust they ass an’ put in tha work day in an’ day aht. You waited, Kara. You waited like a wolf in tha dahk cuz deep dahn, you know dat tha hard truth o’tha matter is…You! Can’t! Beat! Me! Nuh-uh. Nah nah. Ya can’t, Kara. Not without havin’ a trick up ya sleeve. Not without ya lil whippin’ boys hangin’ arahnd t’lighten tha load. I proved last year in a Pure Rules setting, you can’t beat me, ‘cuz whether you an’ any muthafuckah in tha back who like t’bitch an’ moan abaht hard work payin’ ahff? I am tha Ace o’Zion. An’ yes I am tha Ace of tha New Frontier. Shit, I am tha Ace of professional…wrestling! An’ while yinz’re back there shakin’ ya heads in pure denial, lemme finish up what I came aht here t’say before I stick a fork in yer ass an’ call it cooked.”
It’s here that Morgan pauses and looks down at her jersey, bringing attention to the Italy insignia on the front. She slaps it proudly.
Morgan Payne: ”Dis right here? Dis tha symbol o’Italia. Where my old man’s family comes from. Where my family comes from. Tha side o’my family I known more than any other. I thought it right t’wear dis aht here, seein’ as over tha weekend, I got hit up by Kai Morgan himself wif a bit o’news dat made me smile from ear t’ear, cuz ahnno s’gonna chap your ass, Kara. S’gonna chap tha entire Void’s ass. S’prolly gonna chap asses all arahnd Zion and beyond.”
She pauses, letting the anticipation grow as she smiles and breaks into a chuckle, her shoulders shaking.
Morgan Payne: ”...Dis bitch you hate so much…dis bitch you loath…dis bitch you despise…dis bitch you can’t stomach…I’ma be representin’ my family’s country…in tha Zion Wrestlin’ World Cup.”
Orlando, Florida gives a pop of approval, fans jumping out of their seats.
Winter Mae: ”Oooooh, well how about that?!”
Kyle Cassidy: ”The Ace is in the World Cup!”
Morgan steps back from the turnbuckle but never takes her eyes off of the camera as she raises the mic once more.
Morgan Payne: ”And when – oh yeah, not if…- when...I win tha World Cup…I’ma say it loud an’ clear right now just so there’s no confusion or speculation… I’m comin’ for you Kara Carbajal. I’m comin’ for you. I’ma whup yo ass all over dis ring again and yo ass gonna get deja vu as you lyin’ there on tha mat…ass whupped…defeated…and you hear them same words from BattleBorn last year…And! New! Zion Wrestlin’! Global! Heavyweight Champion! Morgan…Fuckin’...Payne!”
Morgan tosses the mic up behind her as “Pittsburgh” rips through the PA again. She stares hard into the camera as she backs up to the ropes, before finally dropping and rolling out to head up the ramp, acknowledging the fans again on her way out.
Kyle Cassidy: ”Winter, what an announcement by Morgan Payne!”
Winter Mae: ”We knew she wasn’t about to take the events of Madness laying down! Things just got a whole lot more interesting around here, as if they weren’t already!”

RESULT: PINFALL (BANSHEE’S CRY)
”A great injustice took place at Madness…an injustice that rocked America to its core…”
We see various video clips of men, women, and children crying.
”...our liberties, our freedoms, were attacked by vicious monsters who hate the way we live our lives…”
A video package of an American flag waving is shown.
”...yes, its true, terrorists who seek to ruin America by costing Aubrianna Powers, The Most Valuable Role Model of the great American Spirit, won the battle…but they will not win the war!”
Patriotic music can be heard playing. Aubrianna Powers then steps into the scene from the left. The Most Valuable Powers is dressed in her black and hot pink wrestling gear. She has an arrogant, smug grin on her face.
Aubrianna Powers: I am sure all of you witnessed the horrific crime that took place at the Madness Rumble. The hopes and dreams of every man, woman, and child in this great nation were upon my shoulders! Had I won the Madness Rumble, there would have been WORLD PEACE! But the military industrial complex running this country did not wish to have peace, so they conspired against me! They conspired to screw me out of the Madness Rumble!
Powers shakes her Most Valuable head.
Aubrianna Powers: But fear not, My Most Valuable Fans! Thanks to YOU and YOUR support, Zion management has finally heard the voices of those crying out in the wilderness, the voices crying out for justice! JUSTICE FOR AUBREY! Thanks to your shouting, I now have an opportunity…my rightful opportunity…to make things right…I now have a shot at the Endurance Championship!
The MVP smirks.
Aubrianna Powers: Ok, ok, yes, technically I have to “EARN” it by beating Savannah Sunshine…if that is her real name…but that’s all but academic, am I right? I am a former Trios Champion. I am a former National Champion. And once I kick Savannah’s little ass and advance to take the title match, I’ll become Endurance Champion as well! So Savannah…consider yourself lucky. Consider yourself privileged to be a part of The Most Valuable Movement! Everyone in this movement has a part to play, including the little peons like you. The part you get to play is that of the stepping stone towards my ascendance to the throne! And just think of the wonderful reward you get!
Powers winks.
Aubrianna Powers: You get to tell the entire world about how YOU got to share the ring with The MVP of Zion, the next Endurance Champion, Aubrianna Powers! Learn to love it, bitches!

Sunshine celebrates as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (RAINBOW CRUNCH)
After the opening trios contest, we see Josie with a cold Modelo, as she was at the Yellow Rose Saloon whilst Regulators, Incorporated were praising her for the match she had.
Sadie Cassidy
“Might get jealous the way Rixley does that lariat, it was really impactful.”
Jane Adler
“You did great out there. Must be great to get back in the ring after so long, Jo.”
She said, making another drink, as Josie would smile a bit, before it turned into a grimace.
"The Outlaw" Josie Wales
“It was great to get back out there. It really was, and a chance to see how well they've been developing… But, it should have been one of you two.”
Sadie Cassidy
“Josie, that was a big moment for you. Plus, you did great out there!”
"The Outlaw" Josie Wales
“That's the thing, though… XIX is where I wrestle. I'm more than happy training for the future of the sport. This was your time to step up…”
She said, scolding them, as Jane would sigh.
Jane Adler
“She's right, Sadie… We've been forgetting the main reason for our mission for so long. Jo, we'll do better. And that's a promise.
Jane said, offering her hand to Sadie, who would clutch it and nod to her, similar to that scene from Predator, as the camera focused on the neon sign of the Saloon behind them, before fading out.
The very first Monday Night Mayhem following the historic #MADNESS event surely stood out as a show that the Zion Wrestling fan base would be paying close attention to. People were wholeheartedly excited about the fallout from the massive supershow. Yet, there were a handful of individuals who left the notorious Orlando, Florida venue with a bittersweet taste in their mouths.
One wrestler in particular, now a former Undisputed Tag Team Champion of the world, stands at a sleek white sink in the women’s dressing. The brown skinned beauty, known for her eccentric personality, let out a deep sigh as she raised her left hand, gently adjusting her mid-back length beaded knotless braids.
Tap. Tap. Tap tap tap…
Lena Galante: “...Waiting for something to…Umm…There we go…”
Spice mumbles as she presses away at the screen of her iPhone.
Lena Galante: “I think that’s the best way I’m gonna say it, ain’t it?”
The camera feed subtly hovers over Galante’s shoulder, revealing a small portion of the text message she had just sent off to an unknown party.
TEXT
Being around you and Ricky in the house have been some of the first times I could sleep around people without feeling shaky. Waiting for something to happen.
Lena Galante: “Fuck fuck fuck…I can’t unsend this now. Holy cannoli-”
DING!
A response hit Spice’s phone.
TEXT
We’re not going anywhere, if we do, you’re coming with!
Hovering her thumb over the virtual buttons of this phone, Lena finds herself stumped by the response message. The camera catches the view of Spice’s eyes gradually swelling up red. It seems as if she held back a wave of emotions.
“I”
I was the only letter Spice managed to type into the text bar. Nothing more.
Lena Galante: “I need to say something.”
Tap…Tap…
The African American starlet tries once again.
Nothing.
Yet, two arms suddenly wrap around Lena from behind, causing Lena to drop her phone on the edge of the sink.
Willa Stoneheart: “Hey.”
That soothing yet firm voice echoed.
Willa Stoneheart: “You don’t have to say anything, Lele…”
It was Madi McNamara.
The inaugural Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight and two-time Tag Team Champion, a long time staple of the promotion, and now one half of #RSB. Sweeping cheers from the audience could be heard in the distance in response to Miss Madi making her presence felt this evening.
Willa Stoneheart: “You didn’t let Ricky down. You damn sure didn’t let me down. We’re a tea-...No, fuck that, we’re best friends.”
Still positioned hugging Lena from behind, Madi notices that her best friend couldn’t make eye contact. Lena stared directly at the sink, extremely avoidant of a feeling that she couldn’t fully process.
Lele (a nickname coined by Madi) couldn’t even answer her best friend.
Willa Stoneheart: “Lele, look at me for a second.”
Madi requested with that powerful tone of voice. On the opposite end, Lena’s lip simply quivered in response.
Lena Galante: “I’m not even really feeling this way because we lost the tag titles. Championships come and go. We all take losses in that ring. It’s just…you just started feeling confident about being in this place again. Walking through these Zion halls…”
Shaking her head, Lena briefly continued.
Lena Galante: “And…I’m the one who screwed it all up at Madness because I didn’t see that frickin’ tag. I need to make this right.”
Processing Lena’s statement, Madi, in typical Madi fashion, did not allow the subject to be changed.
Willa Stoneheart: “You have to look at me, Lena…”
Lena Galante: “Madi, I can’t. I’m trying my best not to cr-”
Again, Lena’s eyes avert the situation. Finally, Madi pulls Lena by the arm, spinning her around. The two made eye contact for the first time since their tag team championship loss. Lena’s eyes, full of tears, pursed her lips, almost afraid to show this side of her.
The side that her bubbly nature works to conceal.
Willa Stoneheart: “You’ve got to understand that being a champion is just a status symbol. We’ve been there. We can get there again. You mean so much more to me than any championship can speak for.”
Madi says.
Willa Stoneheart: “After you called me out in the catering room last year, I was REALLY angry at you. Not because you were wrong…it was because I realized that I put this wall up that was killing my career AND my mental health. I hid from my own name.”
The former world champion adds.
Willa Stoneheart: “For the first time in so fucking long, I actually look forward to being around people. I feel as if Madi McNamara belongs somewhere in this lonely ass wrestling business.”
Madi explains, noting that she herself had been rejuvenated by having a newfound sense of community.
Something that McNamara never would’ve expected from herself.
Willa Stoneheart: “I’m not leaving you high and dry over us having to put it all back together again. We’re making each other whole, Lele…So, let’s keep doing that.”
Madi wipes dried up tears from the face of Galante, assuring the east coast native that #RSB was more than a wrestling brand.
It was a chosen family....
It was representation for anyone who didn’t know where they stood in the world….
That is what differentiated them from the rest of the division.
And, that fact, would be the reason that their run as a duo would not come to a rapid end despite no longer being at the top of the mountain.
As the package would close, handwritten text appears on screen.
We will rise again. See you real soon < 3
— “Spice” Lena Galante &
As things are being prepared for the next match, Zion interviewer Meliana Rodrigo stands by Gorilla position, holding the mic in hand.
Meliana Rodrigo: ”Good evening ladies and gentlemen, we are moments away from our next contest. The Zion Internet Championship is on the line where defending champion, Jack Morrison will face none other than—”
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls!”
Meliana’s cutoff as Jack Morrison enters the frame, flanked by Tala Divata and Shiro; the Internet Championship displayed around his waist as he comes in and flares out his jacket, showing the gold off to the camera.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”The KING…has arrived!”
Jack’s obviously in a more positive mood after the events of Madness and it shows as he claps his hands together and turns to Meliana; his silence after being her cue.
Meliana Rodrigo: ”Ladies and gentlemen, the champion, Jack Morrison. Jack, congratulations on becoming the second ever, two time Internet Champion. How are you—”
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”Yes, yes. Second ever two time, tied for most defenses, third longest reign. That’s what everyone will be repeating in the beginning but you see, that… That’s not good enough. No, no. See, I told you, I told you! I told you all, I was steps ahead of Bianca Page. I had everything sorted. I had regaining my championship in the fucking bag! Binky, you walked into my realm, you crossed into the Ripper’s streets and as promised, you paid the toll. You can make up excuses for it all you like but at the end of the night, the King always gets his tribute, whether it be in blood…”
He pauses, unclipping the belt from around his waist and holding it up with a smack to the plate.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”...or gold. I told you what would happen when you walked down that dark path. Your shining light didn’t save you. I snuffed it out quicker than you could comprehend it! That’s how things go when you go to war with a King…and I...am that King. I am the Ripper King. I am the Murder King. Most of all now, however, rest assured I am a benevolent King. That’s why I’m heading out to the ring now, rather than sending someone else out to do my dirty work for me. I don’t need a Clyde Sutter to fight my battles for me. I’d rather get blood on my own hands. More enjoyable that way, and in a twisted turn of events, as luck would have it, who do I get to show my benevolence to? The same dog you kicked aside when you had no more use for him - again - as I fucking called it! The same dog you kicked, the same dog that bit you in the arse when he got tired of being walked on. Make no mistake, though, that dog is still in a miserable state, so much so that in my benevolence, I refuse to sit back and watch him suffer any longer. So, Tater, my boy? It’s been a fun ride, mate…but it’s time to put you down. Take a breath, close your eyes…”
Jack raises the Internet Championship up again, leaning into the camera.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”...and come get your shot.”
Lowering the title, Jack leans back to his original posture and hangs the belt over his shoulder, turning to the woman with the microphone.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”Cheers, Meliana. Thanks for the interview!”
As he, Tala and Shiro walk off towards the ring, Meliana Rodrigo rolls her eyes and starts to call out.
Meliana Rodrigo: ”For the love of God, my name is— Wait..”
She looks at the camera.
Meliana Rodrigo: ”...He got my name right!”
Snap cut back to the ring.
MATCH #5: TATER VS JACK MORRISON ©
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Morrison and TATER circle the ring around each other, the two knowing each other well enough to know that they need to be careful in this one! The two go for a grapple, but Morrison isn’t able to make much progress before the big man pushes him back! Morrison doesn’t let up however, going to grapple again! But TATER pushes him back again, this time into the turnbuckles! TATER doesn’t take long to capitalize on this, rushing into the corner and nailing Morrison with a Splash before dropping him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! He goes for the pin, with Morrison kicking out at two!
TATER gets Morrison back to his feet, looking for a Suplex! But Morrison is able to land on his feet behind him, pushing him from behind and shoulder first into the ring post! From there, he begins to lay into TATER, smashing him with boots in the corner! The referee gets between them to get him to stop, but once the official steps away, Morrison is right back on TATER, nailing him with a Yakuza Kick as he tries to get up in the corner! Morrison goes for the pin, with TATER kicking out at two! Morrison gets TATER up now, looking for a Double Underhook Suplex! TATER resists however, with the big man refusing to be lifted up! He instead turns it back on Morrison, dropping him to the mat with a Back Body Drop! TATER is back into this now, nailing Morrison with a Clothesline! Morrison gets up, only to catch another Clothesline! Morrison is a bit slower to get up this time, with TATER taking full advantage as he hits the ropes and nails Morrison with a Crossbody! He goes for the pin, with Morrison kicking out at two!
TATER looks to finish this one off, waiting on Morrison to make it back to his feet so that he can hit the Hot Potato! But just then, SHIRO jumps onto the apron in an attempt to distract the big man! TATER swings at SHIRO, causing him to back off the apron! In doing so however, he seems to tweak his ankle, as he calls out to the referee in an overexaggerated expression of anguish to come check on him! The official does just that, with TATER ignoring that in favor of running towards Morrison for the Hot Potato! Before he can meet Morrison however, he gets clobbered by a shot from Bianca Page, who swings on him with the Internet Championship belt! She rolls out of the ring, putting the belt back where it belongs before taking off! Morrison smiles, seemingly delightfully surprised by the circumstances! He gets up in the corner, waiting for TATER to try and make it back to his feet before hitting him with Dear Boss (Hidden Blade) Morrison goes for the pin, securing the victory!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…and STILL the Zion Wrestling INTERNET! CHAMPIONSHIP!...JACK! “THE RIPPER”! MORRISON!
Winter Mae: Had to have known this would’ve happened! Bianca Page just can’t let anything go!
Kyle Cassidy: It’s all fine and dandy for Page to screw others out of opportunities, but when someone else does it, all hell breaks loose! The double standards with this woman are unbearable! But in the end, Morrison retains again!
Morrison stands tall, only for "I'm Good" by Bebe Rexha and David Guetta to begin playing over the speakers! Melissa Tasman steps through the entryway, strolling down to the ring and getting face-to-face with Morrison!
Winter Mae: Here’s another thing we had to have known would happen!
Kyle Cassidy: At Madness, Melissa Tasman came back from two months on the shelf after a vicious attack from Jack Morrison and his goons! Now she’s here, and she knows exactly what she wants!
Morrison smiles as Tasman stares a hole straight through him! He eventually becomes the one to back down, rolling out of the ring and raising his title to taunt Tasman as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (DEAR BOSS)

==========[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==========
“Classy” Bianca Page is confidently walking through the backstage of the Zion Wrestling Stadium with a big smile on her face. Meliana Rodrigo quickly walks up to Bianca.
Meliana Rodrigo: Bianca, do you mind explaining your actions in that Internet Championship match between Jack and Tater?
“Classy” Bianca Page: What do you need explaining for, Meliana? Did you miss Madness where those two ne'er-do-wells conspired to take the Internet title from me? Because they were aware. Well, at least Rip was smart enough and told Tots what to think. So this was just a little payback and a reminder to those two fools that I make all the rules around here.
Meliana Rodrigo: Aren’t you afraid of any kind of retaliation from Tater?
“Classy” Bianca Page: Right? Tater head will get his revenge on me once he is admitted into Mensa. It’s not going to happen!
Bianca walks as she deviously laughs.
The Zion Wrestling Stadium has been prominent with top-tier entertainment from the Mayhem brand. The fallout from Madness 2024 remains to be determined especially with choices to be made and rivalries that have ended or worse, grown completely. However, for two individuals, their path to tag team championship gold begins again after riding high from a great victory by Serenity Holmes from the steel cage match. Serenity sits on top of an equipment box away from the general population in an isolated backstage area used for storing equipment and behind her is Livvie Nelson shadowboxing near a cage wall. Serenity stares into the camera knowing the local audience despises Hungry for Destruction but she leans back with her arms folded smiling carefree.
Serenity Holmes: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to reality. Reality where Hungry for Destruction once again puts down another liability showcasing why we are the most dominant faction in this business. Savannah Sunshine learned sometimes you’re unable to beat the odds especially when they’re inevitable. We have to admire her fighting spirit but spirit can only take you so far. In the end, blood was shed and Savannah was put down for good which brings us back to our goal of becoming the new Zion Wrestling Undisputed Tag Team Champions.
The Orlando audience weren’t too keen on Serenity’s remarks but her laughter combated the overwhelming boos.
Serenity Holmes: Oh, how does it feel? It feels amazing. To know what is going to happen without having to listen to the opinion of others. Livvie Nelson and I would like to thank every one of you idiots for doubting us because it makes us look better. Hungry for Destruction thrives on causing mayhem and chaos wherever we go so it makes sense that when we say the tag team championships are ours, we mean them. No more distractions or outside interferences, we want our belts!
Livvie Nelson: Let’s talk for a moment of what we did at Madness. Serenity Holmes destroyed our rival in a cage once and for all. No more popsicle girl messin about our business, mate. And bruv, let’s talk about that battle royale. Every single person who doubted me? They can shut right up. Because I proved to every one of you losers that I am here to change the entire game. Hungry for Destruction isn’t just destined to be the Tag Team Champions. We are primed to take those titles and hold them for as long as we damn well please!
The crowd boos them both intensely and Livvie grins as she looks over at Serenity and grins. She puts a hand up and waves it in as if she wants more.
Livvie Nelson: All of you can boo us and hate us as much as you want, but you can’t stop us. You’re just gonna have to learn to like it, aight mates? Just fall in line and accept it. We will not be stopped again. There’s no longer an obstacle. No longer a problem to worry about. The future is all about Serenity and Olivia.
The audience boos again and Serenity smiles now getting off the equipment box to be in front of the camera.
Serenity Holmes: Hungry for Destruction announces our claim to tag team championship gold and if anyone wants to get in our way, remember this. There are no good men, only good prey.
Livvie punches down the cage wall watching the structure collapse causing commotion in the equipment area. Serenity laughs and follows behind her as the segment ends.
Winter Mae: Well, as we draw closer to our Main Event, we’d of course like to thank everyone for tuning in tonight! We’d also like to encourage you to tune in next week, as we have a lot in store!
Kyle Cassidy: That’s right, Winter! Next week, we begin the Zion Wrestling World Cup with some already banger matches! Zachary Porter goes one on one with Fusion’s own Kaitlin Williams! Morgan Payne does battle with the Wasteland representative entering the Gold League, which we’ll find out about this Wednesday Night! And in the opening match, Sean Parker will go one on one with Nami Megumi!
Winter Mae: Melissa Tasman is back, and she’s looking to cut The Ripper down in revenge! Will she be able to do just that, as she looks to pry the Internet Championship away from Jack Morrison? Find out next week!
Kyle Cassidy: Teresa Morgan is coming off a huge loss at Madness! She may be down, but she’s not out! She looks to swing momentum back her way as she takes on a game Kevin Mears!
Winter Mae: And in the Main Event, these two teams have had wars against each other in recent weeks! Now they get to do it one more time, and possibly earn a shot at the gold as well! Hungry For Destruction and Rising Star Boulevard clash in the Main Event, with a shot the Undisputed Tag Team Championships on the line! All this and more coming at ya next week, on Mayhem!
MAIN EVENT: TEAM BIG, TALL, AND CUTE AS FUCK VS CALVIN FAYE & BRIANNA LOGAN
STREET FIGHT
Vivian Blake: The following Tag Team Contest…is a Street Fight!
Introducing first…at a combined weight of—
Before Vivian can finish with her announcement, Calvin Faye and Brianna Logan rush out from the back, rushing Haste and Kawada before they can make it down the ramp!
Winter Mae: These two teams can’t wait to get their hands on each other! It looks like the action is kicking off now!
Kyle Cassidy: As is their right, Winter! This match has no rules, they can do whatever the hell they want!
Both sides begin to swing on each other now, with the referee not knowing what to do as the match hasn’t even started yet! Eventually, Faye and Haste make it to the ringside area, with the former nailing the latter with a shot to the midsection before tossing him into the ring! She slides in after him, and the official decides that’s good enough for them to start this match!
Haste pulls Faye back to his feet, looking to strike again! But Faye fights back, nailing Haste with an Elbow to the midsection before going for the ropes! He comes back for another move, but Haste is already prepared for him, sending him up and over with a Back Body Drop! She follows up, nailing him with a Superkick as he tries to sit up! Pin by Haste!
ONE…!
TWO…!
No! Brianna Logan intervenes now, pulling Haste out of the ring! The two trade shots now, with Logan getting the better of the exchange! Haste falls back, with Logan and Kawada now trading shots! It looks like Logan is about to get the best of both tag partners, but Kawada catches her out of nowhere with a boot to the midsection! Logan is hunched over now, with Haste pulling her into a DDT position! Before she goes for a move, however, she notices Faye is starting to get up in the ring, with Kawada stepping back up the ramp as he does! She runs down the ramp again, jumping off of Logan’s back and using her as a launchpad to dive into the ring and onto Faye! As the dive is complete, Haste takes down Logan with the DDT!
Crowd: HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT!
Kawada and Haste waste zero time, immediately going for the pin on their respective opponents the referee has to do a double count!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Faye and Logan kick out in unison! Kawada looks disappointed, while Haste just uses this as an opportunity to begin digging under the ring! She comes out brandishing a barbed wire wrapped plank of wood, with the crowd cheering her on as they wanna see the destruction she causes with it! She goes for a swing to Logan, only to be met with a clubbing blow to the midsection that causes her to drop it! The crowd now begins to boo Logan as she taunts! She hardly cares, picking up the barbed wire plank and snapping it in half over her knee! She then turns back to Haste, only to be immediately driven back as she rushes towards her! The two continue going backwards as they collide, ultimately going straight through the barricade!
Crowd: HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY! SHIT!
Winter Mae: ”Holy shit”, indeed! This whole thing has been carnage, and we’ve barely gotten away from the opening bell!
Kyle Cassidy: All a testament to what two teams can do in an environment like this, Winter!
Meanwhile, inside the ring, Kawada and Faye begin to trade blows! Kawada looks to be getting the better of Faye, pushing him back into the ropes with an especially brutal Forearm! But Faye bounces back, literally, coming off the ropes and taking Kawada down with a Discus Lariat! He rolls out of the ring, going underneath the apron and recovering a table! He throws it into the ring, going in after it and picking it up! However, holding the table out in front of him, Faye fails to notice that Kawada is back to her feet, rushing towards him and dropping him with a Dropkick to the table! Faye goes tumbling out of the ring, with Kawada rushing towards the ropes and diving over with a Spaceman Plancha!
Kawada throws Faye back into the ring, now grabbing the table and setting it up in the corner! She turns around to see Faye is back on his feet, looking to take him down with a Hurricanrana! But Faye reverses, looking to throw Kawada through the table with a Bucklebomb! But Kawada reverses, slipping over his shoulders and down his back to catch him with a Sunset Flip Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Faye, who rolls to his feet and immediately looks for a Kick to a still seated Kawada! She dodges it, however, grabbing Faye and pulling him down to the mat for a Schoolboy Rollup!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out again by Faye! Kawada doesn’t let up however, nailing him over the head with a Kick to keep him at bay!
Meanwhile, Logan and Haste are up in the stands, trading clubbing blows with one another amongst the crowd! Logan seems to have the upperhand, nailing Haste with repeated strikes to the head! But Haste retaliates, nailing Logan with a skull-rattling Headbutt! She then grabs a drink out of one of the fan’s hands, taking a huge sip before spitting it all back in Logan’s face! Logan backs up the steps of the crowd area, eventually falling back through the doorway that leads to the concessions area! Haste follows her there, nailing her with a Headbutt that sends her even further back! Logan is now leaning on a merchandise table, halfway out of it! Haste rushes towards her, only for Logan to drop her with a Snap Belly-to-Belly through the merch table! The fans around them start a set of “Holy Shit” chants as Haste disappears into a mountain of t-shirts and replica belts!
Meanwhile in the ring, Kawada stands in the corner, waiting for Faye to get up so that she can hit him with a Superkick! But Faye dodges it, with Kawada coming back to try and take him down again! Faye reverses, getting her up and pushing her back through the table! Faye smiles, before digging in his tights for something! He takes his hand out to uncover a pair of handcuffs, the first half of which he slaps around Kawada’s wrist! She begins to fight back, taking any swing she can to stop Faye from completing his plan! But Faye battens her down with a bevy of stomps, before slapping the other half of the cuffs to the top rope!
Winter Mae: This can’t be good at all, Kyle! Ayumi Kawada is now handcuffed to the top rope!
Kyle Cassidy: She’s essentially a non-factor in this match now! No way she gets out of that!
Meanwhile, the battle between Haste and Logan has taken them all the way to the Yellow Rose Saloon, where Logan has thrown Haste behind the bar area! Logan looks to go after her, only for Haste to pop back up, using one of the beer lines to spray Logan down! Logan backs off momentarily, but begins to realize that Haste isn’t gonna stop spraying her down with beer, so she might as well go for something drastic! She rushes towards the bar, leaping over the counter and onto Haste! She wrestles the beer line out of Haste’s hands, wrapping it around her throat and choking her out with it as all the patrons watch in horror! Haste’s eyes become bloodshot now, as she begins to run out of options! She sees a glass sitting on the bar counter, beginning to reach out for it! Logan attempts to wrench back even further to prevent her from getting to it, but it’s no use, with Haste grabbing it and smashing it over her head, immediately knocking her out!
As Haste catches her breath, she can see what’s going on in the ring from one of the bar tvs! We cut back to the ring now, where Calvin Faye is having a field day with the still handcuffed Ayumi Kawada, stomping away at her for at least a full two minutes! He rolls out of the ring, grabbing a steel chair from underneath as he rolls back in! He lifts the chair up, looking for a swing with it! But before he can come down it, Kelly Haste returns to the ring, grabbing the chair out of his hands and nailing him with a shot over the head with it! Faye falls to a knee, with Haste hitting the ropes and hitting him with the Aussie Knee Party! Last Shot connects! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Faye! Kawada looks at the turnbuckle now, seemingly fiddling with it as we cut back to Haste! She goes off the top rope looking for I’m Not A Vampire! But Faye gets out of the way, before rushing towards Haste as she tries to recover with He’s Rock Hard! Bomaye connects! Pin by Faye!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Pin broken up by Ayumi Kawada, who unscrewed the turnbuckle she was handcuffed to and dove onto the pin from the second rope! Haste rolls out of the ring, grabbing the barbed wire off the floor from the broken wood plank! She tosses it to Kawada, who wraps it around her leg before getting Faye into the Bermuda Triangle! The hold is in, laced with the barbed wire! Faye is struggling, not having a single place to go to break this up as the barbed wire digs into his skin! Seeing no other option, Faye taps out!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match, via submission…Team Big! Tall! And Cute as FUCK!
Winter Mae: Haste and Kawada have done it! After months of attacks and blindsides, they’ve finally gotten the best of Calvin Faye and Brianna Logan!
Kyle Cassidy: These two have been around for months, trying to legitimize themselves within the Mayhem tag team division, and I think that performance right there may have just done it!
Haste and Kawada stand tall, with the two of them hoisting up the turnbuckle that Kawada is still handcuffed to like a trophy as we fade to black!
