The camera cut into the backstage where we can seen Nami Megumi hurry up to get inside the hallway from parking lot and she quickly gets to inside the hallway with a large backpack as before she meet Mayhem’s interviewer in Tommy Green as he waiting for her and Nami Megumi immediately stops right there when she meet him and Nami looking up at him and she know she must answers a few questions from him now she tries to smile at him before he will starting to asked her.
Tommy Green: Hello, Nami. Nice to meet you here so I will not bother you that much now I have a few questions for you tonight ahead for your match against the Void’s members in Zachary Porter our Zion World Heavyweight Champion and now he had three points while you got zero points how you feel about him tonight?

Nami Megumi is clearly pissed off as right after she answers Tommy Green’s question she storm off out of the scene and leave Tommy alone as before the scene fading away.

RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)
The scene opens up in one of the locker rooms backstage. Sitting on the floor stretching is the woman whom calls herself Lady Limitless, Alex Andrews. After a moment of stretching, she sees the camera and relaxed, sitting on the floor and just gazing at the camera, a stern look on her face.
Alex Andrews:
I can't wait for this match, and let me tell you why.
A confident smile breaks across her face as she continues to speak.
Alex Andrews:
You might have heard, but Becca and I aren't exactly strangers to one another. She counted me for SHINE, that much is true. So she must have seen something in me and while I'm grateful for the chance to wrestle in Japan, I just feel things didn't work out there. Maybe it could have been some fault of mine, but I just felt very underutilized there.
Alex shrugs her shoulders, letting out a small sigh.
Alex Andrews:
I never really got a chance to showcase my skills like I know I can. So yeah, it was a bit of a frustrating time and I just had to step away. So now, Becca Black has decided to return to the ring, right? I just happen to be her first opponent in this company and while she's not technically mine, she is the first one of note. So I'm taking this opportunity to put her and everyone in the company on notice. I'm here to stand out, I'm here in Zion to go straight to the top. Simply put, I'm here for Kara Carbajal’s Global Heavyweight Championship. I know, deep down in my heart I have the skills and everything else to make it to the top of this mountain and I don't care who I have to go through or who I have to hit in the mouth to get there. I know what I want and I GOING to get it.
She chews her bottom lip and slowly stands up straight, hopping from toe to toe.
Alex Andrews:
So what I plan on accomplishing tonight is I'm going to show Miss Becca Black, while she might be big and bad, but I'm nothing to scoff at either. I'm definitely more capable and tougher than I ever got a chance to showcase in SHINE. While I'm used to being overlooked, ideas like that stop now. I've worked my ass off these past 4 years to make some sort of name for myself. Scratched and clawed, bled and cried. So maybe it's time the name Alex Andrews is mentioned with a little bit of respect. I'm not some type of gatekeeper, I'm not just happy to be here. I'm Alex freaking Andrews and I want it all.
Alex laughs to herself, a jovial smile coming across her face as she gives the camera a wink before she walks past the camera and cameraman, and out of the room, disappears into the hallway.
In the FedEx Forum, Miguel Ortiz was seen alone backstage, in his ring gear for the upcoming tag team that he and KC had against Jinx and Teresa Morgan. There was a look of agitation across his face, but some would ask what else was new in regards to that. He ran his hand across his face before noticing the camera that had found him, a sneer now on his face as he looked at it.
Miguel Ortiz: Teresa y Jinx van a pensar que tienen una oportunidad contra nosotros. KC es EL Campeón Mundial de Peso Pesado y yo soy un ex campeón. ¿Qué han hecho con sus carreras? Oooh, un infierno en una celda y asustando a la gente.
Miguel shook his head as he began pacing around a little. He glanced back at the camera, a stoic look coming across his face.
Miguel Ortiz: Teresa Morgan and Jinx aren’t going to have a fucking chance from Hell when they step into the ring with KC and I. We’ve always worked as a unit…that was how The Void had tag team gold and how we achieved some singles gold in Zion.
Miguel smirked as he brought up the gold that the pair had held together and separately. He ran his hand over his chin for a second before continuing.
Miguel Ortiz: See…management screwed up tonight. They put two nobodies against the Mamacita and Mauler of Mayhem. There is no one that’s truly better than The Void, and we’ve proved it time and time again. Tonight will be no different.
Shaking his head, Miguel glanced back in the direction of The Void’s locker room.
Miguel Ortiz: Zach is going to dominate in his match tonight and take this tournament. While KC and I? Well…I would suggest that kids get put to bed because we’re sick and tire of people getting involved in business that they have no reason to be in. Tonight, we’re going to remind everyone once more why The Void is the best thing to have ever happened to Mayhem.
With that, Ortiz walked off, heading back towards The Void’s locker room.
MATCH #2: BECCA BLACK VS ALEX ANDREWS
Alex Andrews and Becca Black began their faceoff quick and fast paced, Alex starting off by throwing a Leg Lariat right at Becca who ducked underneath that, running to the ropes to come back with an attempted European Uppercut that Andrews got out of the way of. The two competitors attempted a Clothesline at the same time, simply bouncing off of each other which caused a staredown between the two. A collar and elbow tieup followed, with neither Alex or Becca able to get control of the situation which just caused Black to be backed into the ropes for the time being.
Becca didn't waste any time to push Alex off of her, running all the way back to the opposite ropes to come back with a big Leg Lariat. Becca didn't go down from this, grabbing the hair of Andrews to connect with an European Uppercut, and another one! A third European Uppercut connected to Alex, but she shook it off to connect with an European Uppercut of her own to Black which sent her back into the corner. Alex ran into the corner, connecting with a Spear in the corner which transitioned into a Backdrop Driver in the center of the ring! But Black got right back to her feet! Becca ran right towards Alex, connecting with a Bicycle Knee Strike transitioned into a German Suplex! Becca bridged into a cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
The match continued on, Becca Black still in control of the match with a simple Headlock locked in. Alex was able to strengthen her way back into the match, going right into a Backdrop Driver from the Headlock! Both women were down, as Alex slowly made her way back to her feet first with Becca slowly following afterwards. Alex sized Becca up, running forward to connect with a big ELYSIUM kick! Bicycle Pump Kick sends Black staggering back into the corner, with Andrews running over to connect with a Jumping Forearm into the corner to stun Becca even more.
The closing moments of the match came, with Becca Black and Alex Andrews throwing European Uppercuts back and forth to see who would be the last one standing. Becca got control by throwing in a sudden Headbutt, sending Andrews back against the ropes who instantly ran forward, trying for a Spear which was reversed by a Thrust Kick from Black! Alex Andrews responded with a Thrust Kick of her own! Andrews followed that up with a backstabber! BROKEN WINGS connects to Becca Black! Alex Andrews grabbed Becca, looking to set up for HELLA ROUGH, but Becca reversed that into a Schoolboy Rollup, grabbing onto the gear of Andrews for leverage!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Becca! Black!
Winter Mae: Alex Andrews looked to have the match won, but in the end, Becca Black was the craftier of the two!
Kyle Cassidy: Becca Black proving that you have to expect the unexpected whenever you’re out there! She takes the W in her debut here tonight!
Black rolls out of the ring, with Andrews immediately getting up in shock and directing an angry gaze towards her! Black responds with a condescending wave goodbye as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)

MATCH #3: REINA HAMADA VS JACK MORRISON ©
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Reina watched Jack carefully as the bell sounded, eyeing him for a few moments before running at him. She went for a discus clothesline, managing to hit that, but when she tried to transition it into a strike from her elbow, Jack managed to dodge the elbow. He came back with an eye gouge that had the referee admonishing him. Morrison rolled his eyes at the referee’s warnings and grabbed her by the wrist, flinging her into the corner. He ran at her, looking for a knee strike, but she managed to roll out of the way at the last second! Jack’s knee connected with the turnbuckle instead! The champion grabbed his knee, glaring at Hamada as he began flexing his leg, working the pain out. As soon as he put his leg down, she sent a vicious soccer kick to the back of his knee, causing it to briefly buckle. Jack went down to a knee where he was met with a superkick straight to the chin! He fell back to the mat, but Reina backed up and waited for him to get up. As soon as he did, she charged at him, looking for Harpoon!, but he managed to get out of the way just in time!
Hamada’s shoulder connected with the ringpost, and she came out of the corner clutching it. She began shaking her arm, trying to work out the pain and whatever else had decided to join in the pain that was coursing through her arm. Unfortunately for her, Jack chose that moment to hit her with a devastating buckle bomb that left the crowd groaning in unison. She had slid down to where she was sitting on the mat against the turnbuckles, and proceeded to choke her out with his boot, a smirk on his face. Ignoring the referee for the most part, Jack backed off at the count of 4, deciding that he didn’t want a disqualification loss this time. Reina slowly pulled herself up to her feet, glaring at Jack as she charged at him. She went for a running DDT, but Jack caught her up in a DDT of his own, spiking her down to the mat hard. As she got up, he flung himself off of the ropes, nailing her with White Chapel Necktie! Watching her carefully, he moved and waited for her to start getting up. Once she was on her knees, he hit her with a brutal Dear Boss before pinning her.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THREE…!!!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…and STILL Zion Wrestling INTERNET! CHAMPION!...JACK! “THE RIPPER”! MORRISON!
Winter Mae: Jack Morrison once again holds onto his Internet Champion for another week! What a win!
Kyle Cassidy: The Ripper certainly has been on a roll since the arrival of The Purge! Will it continue into next week is the qu—wait a minute!
Just as Morrison begins to celebrate, some commotion begins to erupt at ringside, with Melissa Tasman beginning to trade blows with Calvin Faye! The Silver Brothers rush to ringside to help, but just then, Tasman decides to make herself scarce, with Faye being left laid out!
Winter Mae: Melissa Tasman making a statement at the expense of Calvin Faye!
Kyle Cassidy: Tasman is straight up relentless! She will not stop until she gets a fair match with Jack Morrison for the Internet Championship!
Tasman staggers daggers at Morrison from amongst the crowd as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (DEAR BOSS)

MATCH #4: JENNA SHARPE (0) VS SEAN PARKER (3)
WORLD CUP GOLD LEAGUE MATCH
The bell rings and instantly Sean is dashing at Jenna and hitting her with a running dropkick. The King of the Skies bounces up fast and as Jenna scrambles to her feet, she's greeted with a hip toss that sends her bouncing back off the mat. Turning back around, the Rose of Calgary gets a foot to her stomach, and then the other foot leaps up and connects with the back of her head in a quick enziguri. Parker keeps the momentum going, pulling Jenna up, only to drive her back down with an exploder suplex. Sharpe bounces off the mat, but uses her momentum to roll under the bottom rope onto the apron. Parker stares for a moment and shakes his head, but then gets back up. Heading over to the ropes, he leans down to grab the slowly recovering Sharpe by her hair, tugging her up, only for Jenna to grab him by the back of the neck and hotshot him on the top rope. Parker bounces back clutching at his neck, and Sharpe is back in the ring, grabbing parker and dropping him with a bulldog. The Rose of Calgary bounces up, hits the ropes, and comes back with a kneedrop right on Parker's neck again. She quickly hooks up a leg, and then locks the King of the Skies in a Bow and Arrow, tugging harder on his sore neck. Parker squirms in the hold, but he finally manages to pivot his body enough to grab at the bottom rope forcing the break. Sharpe can sense the blood in the water though, as she drags Parker up, wraps an arm around his head and points at the corner. Sharpe charges and bounces off the corner, leaping back for her Sharpenado, but in mid-air Parker shoves her off, and sends Sharpe crashing to the mat. Sharpe climbs slowly to her feet, and is greeted with the Bloody Tears from Parker! Parker quickly hooks a leg as the referee makes the count.
ONE...!
TWO..NO!
Parker stares at the referee for a moment but then climbs to his feet, dragging Sharpe up with him, only to immediately send her crashing back down with a Spanish Fly. Parker sits up, clutching at his neck from the impact, but he only lets it distract him for a moment before going to the corner, and climbing the turnbuckles. He sizes up Sharpe, and then leaps off with a Shooting Star Press, but Sharpe rolls aside and Sean crashes and burns. They are both slow to their feet, and Sharpe fires off the first right hand right to Parker's jaw. Parker wobbles but manages to fire back with a right hand of his own, only for Sharpe to fire back with a discus lariat right at Sean's throat! Sharpe yanks Sean up again, once again hooking his head, and then bouncing off the corner for the Sharpe-nado and this time it hits! Jenna scrambles to hook Parker's leg as the referee dives down.
ONE...!
TWO...!
THR—NO!
Parker forces a shoulder up and Jenna can only shake her head, before pulling Sean up. She kicks him in the gut and then drills him with a piledriver. Sharpe scrambles up and then drops one...two...three elbows right on the back of Parker's throat, before calling for the finish! Sharpe reaches down to wrap her arms around Parker's neck, but he grabs her ankles and sweeps her down. They both scramble to their feet, and Sharpe fires off a superkick, but Parker dodge rolls under it, bounces up behind her, and leaps up, driving Sharpe head first into the mat with the Raidenrana! Sharpe is down, but Parker is wheezing and rubbing at the back of his neck unable to take advantage of it. Instead the King of the Skies drags himself up using the ropes and turns to see Sharpe has crawled over to the ropes herself. Sensing an opportunity, Parker grits his teeth and tugs at his elbow pad, pointing right at Sharpe and signalling for his Masamune Decapitation! Parker inches closer as Sharpe grabs at the middle ropes, and then Sean roars and charges, leaping for impact, but Sharpe drops at the last second and Sean sends himself crashing into the top rope throat first! Sean bounces back gasping and wheezing, and Sharpe quickly scrambles up, sweeping Sean's legs and then hooking his head and neck, flipping over into the Devil's Trap! Sharpe has Parker dead center of the ring, pulling at his body and arching it high as Parker gasps and chokes, but the pain is too much and after a long anguished moment, Parker taps out!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, via submission…Jenna! Sharpe!
Winter Mae: Jenna Sharpe gets herself a point on the board in spectacular fashion! What a win!
Kyle Cassidy: Sean Parker brought it tonight, but it was clear from the opening bell that Jenna Sharpe was not going to be denied! What a win!
Sharpe stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: SUBMISSION (DEVIL’S TRAP)
Teresa Morgan: No matter how much I prove myself, there’s always some that think I don’t belong since I didn’t train for this my entire life. Was I around it a lot? Definitely, but I didn’t see it as something I wanted to do until somewhat recently.
Teresa sighed as she leaned against some equipment crates that were backstage in the FedEx Forum. She was tired of being underestimated by so many because of what she used to do. Really the only person that hadn’t truly underestimated her was Morgan Payne, and that was something she had been appreciative of from the start.
Teresa Morgan: Morgan Payne has been the only person to not fully underestimate me, and I hadn’t told her what that meant to me, all things considered. So Morgan, I thank you for not being like others around here.
Teresa paused, running a hand through her hair as she hopped up onto one of the crates. She put her elbows on her knees and leaned forward, a serious look coming across her face.
Teresa Morgan: Tonight, though…tonight I team with someone that’s a little unconventional. But truthfully? The unconventional are the best kinds to team up with. You never know what’s going to happen, and I love it! So Jinx, let’s give everyone an interesting match. It could potentially lead to more team-ups down the road if you wanted to…you never know.
Teej paused again, licking her lips. She adjusted her arms a bit before continuing.
Teresa Morgan: The Void…you’ve been wreaking havoc on Mayhem for months. KC ruined my match at Madness, and that’s not something that I’m going to forget anytime soon. Tonight is my chance to get some retribution for what you did, and I’m not going to take that chance lightly. The Void needs to be put in their place, and I guess Jinx and I get to start with the two of you.
Teresa gave a little shrug as she spoke before letting out a final sigh.
Teresa Morgan: I’ll see both of you in the ring tonight.
With that, Teresa shoved herself off of the equipment crates and began walking down the hall. The scene faded out as she rounded the corner, escaping from the camera’s view.
MATCH #5: THE VOID VS TERESA MORGAN & JINX, THE JESTRESS
As the bell rings, the cracks in this newfound union between the two former Global Heavyweight Championship challengers begins to show, with Morgan volunteering to go first and Jinx not giving her verbal response! Instead, she just gives Morgan a cheshire grin, stepping out onto the apron while keeping her eyes locked on her partner! Morgan is put off a bit by Jinx’s usual strange behavior, paying for it as she immediately turns around to a Bicycle Kick by Miguel Ortiz! He pulls Morgan back to her feet, pushing her back into the corner and tossing her across the ring with a Biel! Morgan pulls herself back to her feet in the opposite corner, with Ortiz rushing over and clobbering with a Clothesline! He pulls her to the center of the ring, ragdolling her off the mat and dropping her with a Vertical Suplex! He floats over for a pin, with Morgan kicking out at two!
Ortiz pulls her to her feet, looking for another move! But Morgan counters, swatting Ortiz’s hands away and laying into him with a Chop! This seems to anger Ortiz more than it causes him pain, as she immediately slaps a hand around Morgan’s throat! He lifts her up for a Chokeslam, but Morgan shows off her agility now, backflipping right out of the move and landing on her feet! She immediately goes from showing off agility to strength, as she pushes Ortiz back into the corner and tosses the 256-pounder across the ring with a Biel of her own! Ortiz gets up in the corner, with Kara Carbajal getting the tag on his shoulder! Carbajal gets into the ring, staring daggers into Morgan! Morgan tells her to bring it on, but before she can trade blows with the champion, Jinx gets the tag on Morgan’s shoulder, entering the match herself!
Morgan looks a bit upset by this, but then looks at the crazed glare on Jinx’s face and decides it’s best not to argue! Jinx steps into the ring, with Carbajal immediately not wanting anything to do with her as she turns to tag Ortiz back in! Jinx doesn’t let her get far however, grabbing Carbajal by the hair to keep her in place! Carbajal slowly turns around, looking extremely pissed as she quickly takes Jinx down with a Headbutt! She pulls Jinx back to her feet, throwing her into the corner with a Bucklebomb before pulling her to the center of the ring for a pin! She gets a two count before Jinx kicks out!
Carbajal looks to quickly finish this one off, waiting for Jinx to get up before looking for a Spear! But Jinx counters, nailing Carbajal as she speeds towards her with a Knee Strike! Jinx goes to the apron, jumping over and planting Carbajal as she gets up with Jestress’ Gambit (Slingshot DDT)! As Jinx gets up from the move, she tags in Morgan, who climbs to the top rope and connects with Stormy Love (Swanton Bomb)! Morgan with the pin, being broken up by Ortiz! Ortiz pulls Morgan to her feet, but she reverses, throwing him through the ropes instead! Ortiz grabs the ropes to stay on the apron, with Morgan turning around to a Spear by Carbajal! She pins, with Morgan getting the shoulder up right before three!
Carbajal tags in Ortiz, pulling Morgan to her feet and tossing her right into his arms! She gets her up, looking for the Crucifix Powerbomb! But Morgan escapes, before leathering Ortiz with a Superkick! Morgan hits the ropes, before connecting with Boot to Face (Big Boot)! Morgan winds up in the corner, looking for 1997 CT01! Ortiz dodges the move, only to discover that he wasn’t who Morgan was aiming for! She jumps up connecting with 1997 CT01 (Superman Punch) to Carbajal, knocking her off the apron! Ortiz attempts to go back after Morgan, only for Jinx to jump into the ring and catch him with the Curtain Jerk (Inverted Swinging STO)! Morgan gets Ortiz up, finishing him off by planting him with the Brooklyn Brute (Pumphandle Powerbomb)! She gets the three count, with Carbajal not being able to push herself into the ring fast enough to break it up!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…Jinx, The Jestress…and Teresa! Morgan!
Winter Mae: I don’t think anyone watching came into this thinking that this odd couple would be able to pull off the win tonight! But I guess crazier things have happened!
Kyle Cassidy: And considering 99.9% of those “crazier things” involve Jinx, The Jestress, it’s rather fitting that this joins the list!
Morgan and Jinx celebrate together, with the former raising the latter’s arm before turning to taunt Kara Cabarjal! She makes a belt gesture around her waist, turning back into the ring and immediately eating a Curtain Jerk! Jinx lays Morgan out!
Winter Mae: It seems like that alliance was short lived!
Kyle Cassidy: These two want the same thing, Winter! Nevermind the fact that turning your back on someone like Jinxy is a dangerous thing to do!
Jinx sits criss-cross on the mat, cradling Morgan’s head in her arms as she waves to Carbajal!
RESULT: PINFALL (BROOKLYN BRUTE)

MATCH #6: MORGAN PAYNE (3) VS KAITLIN WILLIAMS (3)
WORLD CUP GOLD LEAGUE MATCH
Things start off technical between Payne and Williams, with each competitor’s underrated grappling skills coming into full play here as the two exchange a flurry of quick holds! Eventually Williams gets the upper hand with a Grounded Headlock to Payne! She gives the titantron a quick glance, watching the clock to make sure there isn’t another draw! She decides to pivot as to not take that chance, pulling herself and Payne up to their feet! This only leaves an opening for Payne to get back into this however, nailing Williams with a few Elbows to the midsection before hoisting her up and dropping her with a Samoan Drop! Williams tries to pull herself back to her feet, with Payne beating her to the punch as she snatches her up and drops her with a Fisherman’s Suplex! She keeps the leg hooked for the pin, with Williams kicking out at two!
Payne gets Williams up to her feet again, looking to follow up with another move! But Williams snaps back, catching Payne off guard with a Headbutt that sends her to the mat! Payne is shaken up by the strike, with Williams nailing a boot to her shoulder to send her down before railing on her with mounted punches to the head! She quickly covers, with Payne getting a shoulder up at two! Williams doesn’t let up on her however, squeezing her head with a Chinlock! Williams glances towards the clock, wrenching in the hold tighter and wringing it out more aggressively in hopes of Payne passing out to give her the win! It seems as though she may have succeeded, with the official checking to see if Payne is still in this! Payne answers with a fist to the canvas however, pulling herself back to her feet and nailing Williams with a few Elbows before taking her down with a Back Body Drop!
Williams gets to her feet, with Payne rushing her with a Shoulder Block! She hits the ropes now, looking for another move! But Williams draws first, nailing her with a Shoulder Block of her own! Williams now hits the ropes, looking to attack herself! But Payne gets out of the dodge with a Drop Down, with Williams hopping over it and hitting the ropes! She comes back, with Payne getting her arms around her for a German Suplex! But Williams reverses, nailing Payne with a few Elbows to the head before she can lift! But looks to take her down with a Snapmare, with Payne reverses with The Art of Ruin (Stunner)! Pin by Payne, with Williams kicking out at two!
Payne looks to end this, going for Dahntahn After Dahk! But Williams gets out of the Burning Hammer attempt, going for a few Elbows to the head before landing her feet and immediately lifting Payne up! She gets Payne in position, before dropping her with an Inverted Tombstone Piledriver! Pin by Williams, with Payne kicking out right before three!
Williams looks at the clock as she’s now down to under thirty seconds! She gets Payne to her feet, nailing her with Katastrophe (Pumphandle Powerbomb)! She isn’t done there however, keeping her eyes on the clock as she feels as if she has enough time to hit something else to guarantee the win! She gets Payne up, before dropping her with her other version of Katastrophe (Pumphandle STO) She goes for the pin, but right before the referee’s hand hits the mat for three, the bell rings, so much so that it leaves confusion as to how the match ended!
Winter Mae: She did it! She gets the win!
Kyle Cassidy: Did she? I didn’t hear a third beat on that canvas, Winter!
The confusion gets cleared up as Vivian Blake makes the call!
Vivian Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, Kaitlin Williams and Morgan Payne have exceeded the 15 minute time limit allotted for this match…therefore, this match has ended in the time limit draw!
Winter Mae: A draw in this one tonight, the second for both of these two! But it came so close for Kaitlin Williams!
Kyle Cassidy: She does not look happy, Winter! Kailtin Williams may have yet to lose in this tournament, but she also isn’t dominating the way that she’d like!
Williams slams the canvas in frustration as we fade!
RESULT: TIME LIMIT DRAW (1 POINT REWARDED EACH)
We come back from break to find a camera crew following Meliana Rodrigo, who, it turns out, is trying to catch up with Kaitlin Williams; when they do get a chance to talk to her, the Aussie is clearly...not exactly in a mood to have a conversation, a scowl painted across her face--clearly, a second match in this World Cup going to a draw hasn’t particularly sat well with her, and seeing an interview crew coming up to catch up with her hasn’t exactly boosted her mood. She gives Meliana a once-over, but in spite of her own misgivings, Kaitlin settles back against the nearest wall, shaking her head.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Kaitlin Williams, who just went to a time-limit draw with the former Global Champion, Morgan Payne, but...”
Kaitlin Williams: “I don’t look happy about it?”
Kaitlin snaps the response out, sneering in Meliana’s direction.
Kaitlin Williams: “Why would I be? There’s no situation on the planet where a draw is a satisfying result--I know there’s people in this tournament that would be happy to scrape by with a point, to survive and at least pat themselves on the back that they didn’t lose...and if you’re one of those people, that’s satisfied coming close...”
Kaitlin just shakes her head, a look of disgust passing over her face as she pushes a few strands of matted hair away.
Kaitlin Williams: “Well...enjoy never fucking amounting to anything, if you’re satisfied with being mediocre. Me? I’m...I’m not just some run of the mill wrestler, I’ve never...been some middle of the road nobody. From the moment I walked in this place, I said I was going to be the very best damn thing to ever happen to Zion Wrestling...and up to now, I’ve backed up everything I’ve said. Every...single...word I’ve said, everything I said I’d do, I’ve done...so no, I’m not satisfied coming close, I’m not satisfied with another fucking draw...”
Meliana Rodrigo: “It does mean you’re still unbeaten in the World Cup thus far, with only two matches left, against the former Endurance Champion, Sean Parker, and Wasteland’s representative in the Gold League, Jenna Sharpe...”
Kaitlin laughs a little bit, giving Meliana a Look™, like she just said the most obvious thing imaginable. She even exaggerates the look, tilting her head to the side just a little bit.
Kaitlin Williams: “And anyone who’s surprised that I haven’t lost, hasn’t been paying attention--a draw’s not good enough, a draw...just means I lost a point, every...draw means I lost a point, but it doesn’t change the fact that two people that this company talks about with ReVeReNcE...”
Kaitlin...cannot possibly roll her eyes more.
Kaitlin Williams: “...couldn’t finish me off. But...that means I’ve got two points I have to make up, now--two points to make up, two matches to make them up, so I want...Parker...and Sharpe...to listen to me close when I tell them both this: when I walked onto this show for the first time, I told everyone on Mayhem that I was going to stake a claim to everything this brand could give me; I told everyone in the Gold League what was coming, and I follow...through...on my words, I do...what I say I’m going to do. Payne...and Porter...may have stolen a couple points away from me, but the future is still the same...”
Kaitlin chuckles a little bit, wiping her face down and then fixing her gaze on the camera.
Kaitlin Williams: “Two points from Parker...two points from Sharpe...I’m going to put down whoever gets out of the Platinum Block...and I’m going to Destiny, to become the World Champion.”
Kaitlin smirks a little bit, seemingly recovering her arrogance after she pushes through the anger of another draw. She lets out a little breath, chuckling a little to herself.
Kaitlin Williams: “And I’m going to teach everyone...from now, until Destiny--Parker, Sharpe, anyone from the Platinum League, Majors, and whoever’s standing in that ring...when I take the World Championship...I’m going to teach them all what happens...when you step...to the Crown...”
She laughs a little, gesturing down to the ground--but rather than finish with her usual line, she just lets a sneer curl up on her lips, and we cut away from the interview.
Backstage, a figure can be seen in the shadows. Pacing around as another sits on some nearby boxes. As the dim light reveals the figures one by one, there’s Savannah Sunshine and Dominic Mac Allister. Dominic looks wearily at his girlfriend, who has been closed off for some days, nearly an entire week. She’s barely said anything since returning from her “trip” back “home”. But, there was too much to say and not enough time.
But, there was no time like the present to at least try to explain some things. To the fans, to the roster . . . to everyone. She’s still pacing, an oversized hoodie belonging to Dominic previously hanging over the top half of her body.
SAVANNAH SUNSHINE: A lot of people have expressed concern about me lately. I haven’t been my normal upbeat and preppy self. I’ve been secluding myself away from the people who love and care for me. I haven’t said much since returning from my trip back home, but . . . I don’t know how to explain it. Maybe, if I find the right words, I can just . . .
Frustration overwhelms her and she lashes out by punching a balled up fist into one of the luggage crates and leaves a dent behind in the process. Dominic leaps to his feet, a sense of concern and urgency in his steps as he inches towards her. But, Savannah instantly pulls away from him in a flash. Much to his own chagrin as she faces the camera.
SAVANNAH SUNSHINE: No one understands the struggle of being the oldest child in a long line of siblings. Both adopted and blood. No one understands the struggle of having the weight of the world pressing in on you constantly and having to face the odds over and over and over again until you just . . . snap. Until that last semblance of hope within you burns out like a flickering candle. Until that last bit of light is snuffed out by the shadows fighting within you.
SAVANNAH SUNSHINE: No longer will I hide behind the facade of smiles and laughter. No longer will I aim to be everyone’s friend. I will still fight the bullies, I will still do my damndest to hold my ground. But, you’re no longer dealing with Savannah Sunshine. A woman who allowed any and everyone to use and abuse her. Someone who allowed the world to use her as a stepping stone and toss her into the mud over and over and over again.
Her fist pounded into her hand over and over and over again for emphasis and she ignored the throbbing in it as she continued. She snatched up black tape, wrapping her hands and wrists up with it. Tearing the ends off with her pearly whites before she finished her speech.
SAVANNAH SUNSHINE: Tonight, you all bear witness to a new era of Savannah. The era of Savannah I should have been all along. The era of myself that I have constantly waged a war with for years and years. Tonight, you bear witness to a more serious, reserved, competitive, and violent force to be reckoned with. I am no longer here to make friends and to dish out pleasantries. Whatever I want? I take it. I will have it . . . By any means necessary. Including tonight’s bout against Akane Yamashita for the Endurance Championship. A match I have been waiting weeks to head into and a match I feel nothing but confident about. Regardless of the outcome, I will show the world why I am an undeniable force to be reckoned with . . .
SAVANNAH SUNSHINE: No longer is the goal to save the world . . . The goal is to burn it down and wreak havoc on anyone who stands opposing me. The goal is to show the world that I am a force to be reckoned with. The goal is to leave behind a blaze of fire and ash with my opponents begging me to not break their bones or snatch their limbs. You can bet there will be chaos and destruction in that ring tonight.
With those words, Savanah gives a little dark and wicked smirk at the camera. Her eyes are a swirling storm of mystery and chaos.
SAVANNAH LAWRENCE: Tonight, you all get the chance to meet Savannah Lawrence. A woman who has nothing left to lose and everything to prove. I will make my mark around here. By any means necessary. Whatever it takes.
Dominic shoots a worried glance at his girlfriend, who begins to walk away, and he follows her a moment later. The scene closes on Dominic calling out after a retreating Savannah before slowly fading to black.
Winter Mae: Well, we have had an interesting night of wrestling so far and next week is set to be interesting as well as we come to you from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota! After the events of earlier tonight, it has been made official! Melissa Tasman will take on The Purge’s Calvin Faye in one-on-one action!
Kyle Cassidy: Two people who have been looking for some much needed momentum will clash next week, as Kevin Mears goes one-on-one with former Internet Champion, Bianca Page!
Winter Mae: Speaking of momentum, we go to two tag teams who have been looking for some of their own! The Last of The Valkyries take on Hebi No Rengo in tag team action, with hopes of getting into Tag Title contention sometime soon!
Kyle Cassidy: And, of course, we have more action coming from the Gold League of the Zion Wrestling World Cup, as Jenna Sharpe and Kaitlin Williams start the night, Morgan Payne clashes with her fellow Kingdom stablemate Nami Megumi, and in the main event, Sean Parker and Zachary Porter finally get their hands on each other once again! All that and more next week, on Mayhem!

Akane and Savannah start off by circling each other. They reach out for a few gentle test of strengths, before locking up in a collar and elbow. Akane quickly switches it into a side headlock, squeezing hard down on Savannah's head. Savannah growls and tries to squirm free but Akane's grip is tight. Savannah finally manages to back into the ropes, and then uses the added momentum to push Akane off, only for Akane to come back with a shoulder block that knocks Savannah down. Akane has a smile on her face as she stares down at Savannah, before hitting the ropes, and Savannah bounces up and leap frogs over her.

Lawrence stumbles on her feet, and Akane seizes her chance, grabbing Lawrence by the back of her neck, and dropping her with a jawbreaker. The masochist Genius is feeling it as she roars out, and spins Savannah around, hooking an arm around her neck and bending Savannah back with the Eternal Sleep!

Kyle Cassidy: But she is going to be feeling the effects of that Karma! And she only has two rounds left to do something!
