Gianna Rojas: Estamos en una misión de Dios.
The house lights go down after her voice projects from the venue’s speaker system, and the opening strains of her theme, Paper Planes by SSSC begin to play. Bright, festive lights begin to chase around the edge of the stage and in pulses start heading down the ramp at the sides, retreating and advancing but never quite getting all the way down to the floor, waiting for the woman of the hour, so to speak, the one all the fuss was about tonight. The colors are green white and red proudly representing Mexican heritage, and now a rich fog flows out over the stage as the Zion Wrestling Viral Champion Gianna Rojas appears on stage.
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, I got warrants in my name
If you come around here, we workin' all day
Your life gon' pass you in a second if you wait
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome…the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPION!...GIANNA! ROJAS!
Amber Westgate: 372 days! 18 total defenses! It goes without saying that Gianna Rojas has become the single most decorated champion in Zion Wrestling history!
Adam LaRue: Certainly a justified celebration for the woman! Literal dozens of champions have come and gone since she won that Viral Championship on March 3rd of last year! But through it all she’s stuck around through it all!
There's pyro in the same colors as Gianna lifts her hands up in the air, and colorful confetti falls from the ceiling over the fans around the ringside area, those same colors plus gold. Streamers join the confetti as the music swells and some cute kids wearing the same type of clothing and makeup that Gianna has on come running down through the crowd and handing out goodie bags of candy and other assorted items.
She moves out to the top of the stage and holds her arms out as if to embrace all of the fans, spinning in place and bouncing before she begins to take steps down the ramp, the lights pacing her now. Her theme song fades out and a mariachi band comes from the back quickly and begins to play, a singer with them picking up on the lyrics where the recording faded out.
Just like Jesse James when I'm sittin' on trains
Every step we get, see we're clockin' that game
Dog food for dinner, the world is in flames
Bonafide hustlers making that change
A wide, brilliant grin appears on her lips as she begins to skip the last few feet of the ramp and then makes her way around the ring dancing and carrying on, greeting the fans clamoring for her attention, some of them she pauses to give words of encouragement or an extra smile or two. She then slowly climbs the ring steps and slides into the ring after wiping her boots off on the apron, as she usually does. She moves to the center of the ring and waits for the song to play out a bit more.
All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money
All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money
She gets a microphone from the ring announcer before turning to the band and gesturing for them to stop. She puts her hands to her chest and does a little bow towards them and then waves as they head to the back. The fans cheer and show off some of the things they got from the goodie bags to the cameras that are panning around. Gianna unhooks her title belt and looks at it, her expression quite emotional before she holds it up with one hand. The fans cheer again at this display and she nestles it across her right shoulder before she begins to speak.
Gianna Rojas: ¡Un año! ¡365 dias! ¿Te imaginas cómo se siente esto? Todo el tiempo ustedes, los fans, han estado conmigo en cada paso del camino.
She pauses again, only a slight tremble of her lips showing how truly emotional she is feeling right now.
Gianna Rojas: ¡te quiero todo! No podría haber hecho esto sin todos ustedes, su apoyo significa mucho para mí y estoy muy feliz de compartir esta celebración con ustedes. Me habéis visto a lo largo de este año enfrentar a todos los Challenger, una y otra vez teniendo peleas difíciles y no lo haría de otra manera. Así que quiero agradecerles a todos, pero también quiero agradecerles a ellos por hacerme un mejor luchador a lo largo del camino.
Gianna's smile is back, brilliant and showing her emotional happiness in this moment.
Gianna Rojas: Cuando volví a la lucha libre no tenía idea de qué tipo de recepción tendría. Nadie que yo conociera seguía trabajando, así que me arriesgué y vine aquí. Ha valido la pena cada momento. y he estado muy orgulloso de representarlos a todos. Por supuesto que quiero continuar como tu Campeón Viral pero ¿incluso si este fuera mi último día como campeón? No me arrepentiría ni un solo momento.
Her hand is over her heart again, a fan in the front row yells that they love her and she waves to them, pausing her speech to do so. But before she can begin again, a loud roar sweeps through the audience. Emerging from the curtain is Nadia Allen! She’s dressed in a black and magenta “Nadia Allen” tee with blue jeans. Quickly, Nadia storms down to the ring. Gianna looks a little surprised, perhaps not at the interruption because this is after all wrestling, but that it is Nadia who has come down. The red hair slides into the ring, then shifts her gaze to one of the staff members. Rising up her right hand, she forms a fist and taps the top of it with her left pointer finger. A microphone is tossed inside the ring, to which Nadia leans down and grabs. Standing a few feet away from Gianna, Nadia brings the mic to her lips.
Nadia Allen: I won’t waste their time, your time or mine so I'm going to make this quick. Gianna, everyone knows you are one of the best in Zion and in pro wrestling. You having that title for one year proves that. I see your run and all the other great wrestlers that you’ve beaten and all I’ve thought is I want to beat you.
The crowd roars a bit. Gianna locks eyes with Nadia.
Nadia Allen: That’s why I’m here. I want you in this ring. For that.
Nadia points to the title.
Nadia Allen: Whenever, wherever is fine. As long as the next time you defend that title, it’s against me.
There's a pause as Gianna considers her words and then she nods. She takes a deep breath and then says something that might be a little shocking to the people who have followed her to this point. In perfectly crisp English she says…
Gianna Rojas: You're on! I accept your challenge!
The crowd roars! Nadia gives a nod, maintaining eye contact with Gianna. Twisting her head towards the crowd, Nadia glares around the arena. Turning back to Gianna, she gives another nod before backing away and exiting the ring; storming back up the ramp.
Amber Westgate: Nadia Allen throwing out a bold challenge, especially with the timing of it all! But Rojas accepted! This could be really good, Adam!
Adam LaRue: Nadia Allen has been looking for her place ever since being screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship! She had to come back down to earth and realize what she came to Zion for, and that was to fight and beat the best! Who better than the most decorated champion in company history?
==========[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==========
==========[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==========
The lights dim as the Shieldmaidens motto “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes over the Tron. The Hall Effect's "Gin & Tonic" plays as Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas makes her way to the ring in full club colors, ready to rumble. Ravenna gets a microphone and stares directly up the aisle.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: Coneja…
She turns and looks around the arena.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: Come out and play, Coneja…
Finding nothing coming from the ocean of humanity around her, Ravenna turns back towards the aisle.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: ¡No puedes esconderte de mí para siempre, Coneja!
She steps back, shaking her in both disgust and disappointment.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: ¡Si no paras te voy a cascar!
With still no answer coming, Ravenna shakes her head.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: Have it your way, Coneja…
She drops the microphone and wanders off as the show cuts to something else.
OPENING CONTEST: RISING STAR BOULEVARD VS CARLTON CREW
WINNERS: CARLTON CREW
RESULT: PINFALL (BIG BOI SPLASH)
We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Diamond Steele… Excuse me.. DIAMOND, she cracks an evil grin as she is wearing a tight pair of jeans, a vest along with a pair of evil tinker bell wings on her back. She runs her hands through her long purple/pink hair as Amy Porter walks up to her. Diamond doesn’t even seem to wish to bother with her as she opens up a pocket mirror and begins to admire her hair.
Amy Porter: Diamond if it’s ok could we get a word with you. Last week you had so much to say and it has really shaken the foundation within the Queens of Chaos and your standing with the group.
Diamond doesn’t even bother with replying as she runs her hands through her hair and places more lip gloss on.
DIAMOND: Isn’t my hair absolutely beautiful. Honestly I might be the most beautiful thing in all of the roster, it just doesn’t get any better than being DIAMOND, and as the President of the New Diamond Republic I feel really amazing. If you must question me about the Queens what about them?! I know I said some stuff last week but it’s funny that it took me dropping a DIAMOND like I was in the middle of Sierra Leone to actually get people to acknowledge that I existed. I may have ruffled some feathers and in that instant people were quick to flock to me. I got reactions from Zachary Porter, I got a reaction from Kaya Parker and I will admit it did feel good. However this isn’t a duet, I don’t need background singers which is why I am now a SINGLES pop star. That’s why I shoved the Gem Stones aside so I could do me. As far as I am concerned Kaya and Zachary can both fuck themselves and they can grab the KY Jelly while they are at it. I know it helps with the lubrication…
Amy Porter: But we saw you acting all buddy like with them and…
DIAMOND: I don’t care WHAT you saw. I have opened my eyes to a lot of things and I am out to look for me first. However regardless if you want to put a label on me or not I still see Jessi Ozborne as a little sibling regardless we have different opinions about each other right now. We came up through the independent scene and THAT won’t change, and honestly I adore Nadia Allen. In the short time I have known her she has been a great fucking friend and I am not going to throw that away for anything. I am not a little Bitch. I don’t want to stand here and be a Kaya… If I do some fucked up shit I want people to SEE it coming. I don’t want to do it from behind. However I know you have so much to talk about. After all tonight it’s all about this World Cup series and yada yada yada but let’s talk about something more important. Let’s talk about a bad friend. My REAL anger is at Rachelle Marsh. She just bailed on me and despite me trying to stand up and fight in her honour she just leaves./
Diamond takes a deep breath as she continues to speak
DIAMOND: But I am supposed to let it go?! You don’t realize how stupid I looked wearing space buns. It hurts RACHELLE. You were my best friend and you just bailed on me and for what exactly?! Now I stand here and I constantly mention her over and over because she doesn’t know what went into trying to represent her. She makes one single tweet and the whole world swoons over her like it means everything. It’s bollocks and I am tired of the shit. You want to know what I really want Amy?! I want to fight Razzles Mars in the middle of the ring. I would love to make her tap out like a little Bitch and prove to her that I am the better wrestler and definitely the better submission expert. We been through so much but I need to get out of her shadow. So that’s why I am going to put my big girl panties on and do this like an honourable woman…
Amy smirks as she looks back at Diamond.
Amy Porter: Well it might be your lucky day because I have reports that she is ACTUALLY in the building tonight…As a matter of fact she’s addressing the crowd tonight./
DIAMOND: Good… I think I will be watching… Cheers Amy, I got a match to prepare for…
With that Diamond walks away as we fade out.
Friday Night Fusion returns to the ring to find the final sounds of Bosses Daughter playing over the P.A System, standing inside the ring ready to compete next is Isabella Rossi. She is slowly pacing back and forth while holding the microphone in hand, she looks to be a woman in deep thought… The crowd’s reaction at this point is rather mixed, while some have cheered her, others have booed her as well but there is an air of buzz amongst them. Once the crowd begins to settle down Isabella looks up and raises the microphone…
Isabella Rossi: Thank you for the oh so warm reception tonight… I know I am not your favourite individual in the company… yet. But I understand that your adulation tonight will be for the woman I face in the World Cup in just a few short moments… I face someone who is special don’t I, a woman who in essence resonates with all of you because like you, she was once a fan.
Isabella nods while some crowd members cheer, she is speaking about her opponent Yumi Akiyama. The reaction from the crowd brings about a smile from the French/Italian superstar.
Isabella Rossi: Yes, cheer her because it is commendable to take the plunge like she has, it isn’t easy trying to get into this business, is it? Non, but I will give you credit for achieving your goal. Because there are a lot of hardships for women like us, I have had my fair share of trials and tribulations after all. Peers looking down upon me, telling me I wouldn’t achieve anything of worth… Individuals that wouldn’t take my dream to be the very best in the world seriously…
Isabella lowers the microphone to look out at the crowd, gauge their reaction. Some cheer while some continue to boo her. She remains stoic while she reminisced.
Isabella Rossi: But that is what this opportunity we have before us is all about, making our dreams come true. I’ll go as far as to say Kai Morgan is our very special Willy Wonka and Zion Wrestling is his chocolate factory. We all hold a Platinum Ticket opposed to the Golden ticket over on Mayhem. So as of right now you are still living your dream aren’t you Yumi? Fan, turned referee, turned professional wrestler. Tonight, you look to keep on the good fight, and I look forward to it. I meant what I said last week that you’re far more interesting than my previous opponent.
The crowd roars a little at the shot aimed at Diamond Steele, Isabella nods while she approaches the ropes to look towards the hard cam and raises the mic once again.
Isabella Rossi: But this is where I tell you something disappointing Yumi… I must be the bearer of bad news… I too have a dream and it’s one that pushes me forward each time I step foot in this ring, when I stand on this canvas, and I look out at all of the people watching each and every week. Because I could be a victim of my own success tonight. Trois matches I’ve had since I joined Zion Wrestling, TROIS and I have won every. Single. One of them and I’ll admit mon cher I am on cloud nine. We are almost halfway through this tournament, and I can see the end in sight, and I know right here, tonight is going to be the turning point. It’s do or die right here and not just for me, but you too Yumi and that makes you incredibly dangerous…
Isabella nods.
Isabella Rossi: It is no secret that after Mayhem aired, I said something that caught a lot of fans attention. Looking back, I’ll admit it was from a moment of excitement when the realisation set in with the possibilities… I said I stood to possibly be the first out of everyone left to earn six points. Now this wasn’t a prediction, it certainly was not a spoiler, but it was a mere statement of fact. A statement some people pointed out might bite me in my perfect ass. But I said it for good reason as well, to motivate me. To make sure that I kept my eye on the prize because I’m already thinking two, three, four steps ahead of the rest of the pack.
Isabella smirks now as she slowly paces the ring, the crowd now hanging off every word she utters with her alluring French accent…
Isabella Rossi: Because I have to, It’s a necessity because should I do exactly what I set myself out to do and beat you like I did Daria Rossi in my debut, like I did Charlie St. Haven in the first match and Diamon Steele in the second, I have to put you down and end your time here in the World Cup to keep my momentum going because the more I look ahead mon cher, I see I have an Everest to climb in both Lukas and Daria and then whomever stands across from me to deny my path to Destiny 3...
Isabella starts to remove her jacket and walks over to the corner and hands it to one of the ring crew before now leaning into a corner…
Isabella Rossi: But that is then Yumi, this is now, and I while I think of the long game, my thoughts are very much placed in the present with you. You’ve said what you had to say, I have said my piece and the time for talking is no more. Isabella Rossi, Bella Tempesta, Le Femme Fatale, is waiting…
Isabella then drops the mic to the apron which gets picked up by a member of the crew as she now stretches and pulls at the ropes waiting for her opponent and the match to start…
MATCH #2: YUMI AKIYAMA (0) VS ISABELLA ROSSI (4)
WORLD CUP PLATINUM LEAGUE MATCH
Isabella Rossi walked into this match with four points, while Yumi Akiyama had zero. The confidence in Isabella was hard to miss, while Yumi wanted to prove to everyone that she was indeed someone you didn't want to be messing with. Yumi started the match with a quick and fast paced start, running right towards Isabella to connect with a Japanese Arm Drag. Isabella got right back to her feet, rushing at Yumi who timed the attack to reverse with another Japanese Arm Drag. Both women got up at the same time, with Yumi getting the quick upper hand with a big Dropkick that sent Isabella rolling to the outside of the ring where she was clearly frustrated with how quickly the match started. Yumi ran the ropes, diving to the outside with a Tope Con Giro! Yumi went to pick Isabella back up to her feet, but Isabella pushed Yumi back into the steel steps with her head smacking against them. Akiyama was sitting against the steps as Rossi rushed in, slamming into Yumi with Double Knees against the steps! Isabella threw Yumi back into the ring, getting her to her feet to connect with a big KISS OF BEAUTÉ to go for a cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Going down the stretch, Yumi Akiyama and Isabella Rossi were trading forearms back and forth, Yumi getting the upper hand with a big Pump Kick, sending Isabella back into the corner with Akiyama not wasting a second to run straight towards Rossi, trying for a Shotgun Dropkick but Isabella reversed that with a Pump Kick of her own and followed up with a Double Stomp to the chest of Akiyama. Isabella got Akiyama back to her feet, throwing a big European Uppercut to send Akiyama down to one knee. Isabella ran to the ropes, coming back to look for something big but got caught by Yumi with a SUPERKICK out of nowhere! Yumi fell to the mat, rolling to the apron and waited for Isabella to get back to her feet. Yumi jumped into the air, looking for Death From Above but Isabella moved out of the way, Yumi landing on her feet and turned around to meet a Pump Kick from Rossi, Yumi backing into the ropes where she ran forward, jumping on the shoulders of Isabella and turned herself around to connect with a big PoisonRana! Yumi bridged her body and went for a pinfall, stacking Isabella’s body to try to get the pinfall over Rossi!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Yumi! Akiyama!
Amber Westgate: Yumi Akiyama secures her first win in this tournament and keeps herself moving in this one!
Adam LaRue: It was do or die for Yumi Akiyama, but she decided to absolutely do it tonight! But the thing is, every match going forward is do or die for her! She needs to make sure this victory doesn’t get to her head!
Akiyama celebrates her victory as we fade!WINNER: YUMI AKIYAMA (2 POINTS EARNED)
RESULT: PINFALL (POISONRANA)
We fade to a dark area backstage, where we see Jessi Ozborne pacing around. She stops in the middle of the frame, seemingly having something to get off her chest.
Jessi Ozborne: It’s funny. Everybody wants to talk about how the Queens are in shambles. That because a couple people decided to walk away, we’re suddenly the one’s on the downslope. Let me ask you something: How many factions on a “downslope” have you seen get a day named after em? Matter of fact, let me do you one better: How many factions have you seen get a day named after em, period? None. Especially not the one that’s actually in shambles, The Genesis of Destruction.
Jessi smiles a bit, with it being clear that even she knows people aren’t gonna get what she’s implying here.
Jessi Ozborne: Oh yeah, they look fine now. They’ve got all the gold. They’re at the top. But there’s a very particular danger that comes with being at the top, and it’s one that the Queens are immune to and that the G.O.D. are starting to see. All these people coming for their necks. All these people wanting a little bit of what they got. Madi McNamara on this side. Yukiko Kusanagi on this one. Hell, these fucks got me so heated, I’m even rooting for Serenity Holmes to succeed now.
Jessi’s demeanor seems to get more serious now.
Jessi Ozborne: But amongst all of em, there’s me. A very dangerous woman. And I say that because I’m not out for gold from any of you. Nah. I’m out for blood. You guys wanna refer to yourselves at Gods, then allow me to introduce myself as the fucking God Hunter, and when it comes to that reputation, I got a whole line of heads in my rearview.
Hana Megumi. Dealt with.
Kaya Parker. Dealt with.
Maki Megumi? I mean shit, I don’t think there’s a point in Maki Megumi’s life where she isn’t getting dealt with, if I’m being honest. But that’s besides the point.
What is the point is that there’s still one last head for me to hunt, and that’s Eden Sterling’s.
Jessi looks into the camera now as she continues.
Jessi Ozborne: Eden, it’s no secret that things have gotten intense between us, so much so that I bet you’re probably seething seeing me on your television screen right now. Which is why I got a proposition for you. Once you’re finished fulfilling someone’s hunger for destruction, how about you and me go one on one at BattleBorn? Then, once I get done collecting the last head that I need, and Blaze Darling beats the brakes off of your false prophet at Destiny, that Genesis is gonna turn into an Exodus. That’s not a threat, that’s a promise. And when the Queens promise, they damn well deliver. You’re fucking welcome.
Jessi takes off as we fade.
The audience attending the blue brand’s specialty deliverance of performances the world will always seek to enjoy. However, due to the recent drama and chaos surrounding the tag team champions, our number one contenders have announced on social media they would be attending the show as fans to see what the commotion is all about.
The camera does a wide angle capturing the various demographic of fans who paid for their tickets with their hard earned money or money earned from scamming on the side. On the other hand, a quick switch over to ringside shows Serenity Holmes and Livvie Nelson of Hungry for Destruction sat down in their best appearances pretending to enjoy the show. Serenity has a water bottle looking enthusiastic about the show but Livvie remains stoic, rude and blank enjoying a small bucket of her popcorn. The audience boos seeing them on the large screen and Livvie stands up getting annoyed but Serenity stands on the chair pulling out a microphone.
Serenity Holmes: Good night everyone! Welcome to Friday Night Fusion where Hungry for Destruction has made the blue brand of Zion Wrestling actually enjoyable again!
The audience boo’s even harder and Serenity laughs it off.
Serenity Holmes: The reason we’re here is simple. Last week on Friday Night Fusion in that very ring, I pinned one half of our Undisputed Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions. Our debut on Fusion was no less of an impact to send a message to The Nightmare and G.O.D. that H.F.D. are the new force that will change the entire tag team division. When we first came onto the scene, people thought we were a joke and now look at us, you can’t stand to see the sight of us anymore. It’s okay. Success brings out the worst in people and Orlando, you all are the worst!
Serenity hands the microphone to Livvie who throws the bucket of popcorn away and looks off to the camera while the audience continues to boo them.
Livvie Nelson: From the day Serenity and I first teamed up, it’s been apparent what our destiny is. We will continue to fight for what belongs to us until it’s in our hands!
Livvie takes a moment to stare intensely into the camera. Serenity, behind her, is waving her hands around her stomach gesturing they will be the new tag team champions.
Livvie Nelson: I don’t care if it’s Fusion, Mayhem, Wasteland or your brother’s house, mate. Hungry for Destruction is made to run this division!
Livvie’s tone and behavior increases in her aggression. Instead of staying behind the barricade, she hops over the barricade against security’s wishes and Serenity follows behind her throwing water on the security guard. Orlando is really not appreciating their behavior but the two contenders stand inside the ring with Livvie taking center stage and Serenity behind an annoying brat mouthing off to the fans.
Livvie Nelson: We are the GOD killers this company needs to pry those belts out of the hands of people who bow down to the false idols!
Serenity receives a microphone to let Livvie calm down. Nelson is pacing back and forth and Serenity stands in front of the ropes with the main camera zooming in on her.
Serenity Holmes: And right now, the false idols have our coveted tag team championships. Hana Kaneko, Eden Starling. We are done letting you walk around making a mockery of those belts. You’re too busy either getting into your drama with Jessi Ozborne or being berated by ISIS in your little G.O.D. Hungry for Destruction doesn’t waste their meals, we go on the hunt and I promise you that we are done waiting! So how about this, we came to your home turf and made you look like fools! We’re willing to grant YOU redemption!
Serenity pauses for a moment.
Serenity Holmes: March 25th on the special edition episode of Mayhem: Clarity! The Nightmare faces off against Hungry for Destruction for the Undisputed Zion Wrestling Tag Team Championships!!!
The audience explodes in a chorus of cheers and Livvie steps up right behind Serenity on the ropes to say the final word.
Livvie Nelson: We’re ready. Our time is coming...!
“Rise” by Divyded’s chorus shocks the arena when it smashes through the venue’s interior surround systems. Serenity and Livvie drop their microphones and mouth off to the camera together they are ready to become new tag team champions until leaving the ring to exit through the audience not paying them any attention.

Amber Westgate: Blackman gets the W tonight, due in large part to the efforts of Erissa!
Adam LaRue: Between Samuel Lopez a year ago and Erissa now, Ayu Megumi has had some terrible luck against some of the stranger people around here! I need to know what she did in a past life to deserve this, so that I can avoid doing it all together!
Blackman stands tall, leaving the ring as Megumi looks towards Erissa as she leaves!WINNER: MAI BLACKMAN
RESULT: SUBMISSION (BLACKMAN’S BOUNTY)
Daria was out at the ringside area, out to promote her fight against Lukas later that evening, as she spoke to the crowd that she was starting to win back despite the heinous acts she had pulled.
Daria Dorsey
“The World Cup is going strong, and the Platinum League leads me into one of the only people undefeated so far… But, Lukas, I'll happily remind you why I'm undefeated in it as well. In fact…”
The video screen soon cuts to a live feed from Zurich, Switzerland, as the sold-out fans boo loudly, as front and center, sitting in a lavish-looking chair is none other than the Trillion Dollar Princess Angelica Matthews, the Swiss resident has the widest smile on her face. As the blonde rolls her eyes a bit, like she is hearing the negative response she is getting. The Former Zion Wrestling Champion soon takes a long sip of her appletini before placing it down. As her haughty tone soon fills the arena, as her brand new accent seems to shine through.
Angelica Matthews
“Daria, Daria, Daria you clearly are struggling here, unable to protect your business, the one you built through your blood, your sweat, and your tears. Through all that hard work, what happens? Your warehouses get robbed by a woman you thought you left in your rearview? How on earth did you not see that coming? That would have never happened to me why? Because people know what happens when I am crossed.”
Angelica said in a very sure-of-herself tone as she continued on.
Angelica Matthews
“However, you, Daria, see here the thing: For as good as you are doing in this little tournament, you have to understand that outside of the ring, this is another monster. Well, your investors, from what I heard, aren’t happy right now. They are baffled by how someone, one person, even could make it past your security. I mean, it’s rather embarrassing, don’t you think?”
Daria would make some annoyed gestures at Angelica, as there was no way she could actually address her, trying to not think too hard about Angelica and keep focus on the tournament.
Angelica Matthews
“It's so cute to see you struggling to maintain your composure, but here's the catch: I had no idea that would happen. So I had a word out of concern, and well, your investors wanted advice, and I gave them the best advice I could in your situation to protect their capital. What have I always told you I always get what I want, you thought this tournament could protect you?”
Angelica let a catty, bitchy laugh amused, as the feed was cut off. Daria is infuriated by the news, as she dropped the microphone in realization that she couldn't access anything. Her breathing became heavier, as she abruptly got out of the ring with a massive panic attack coming on. She runs back to the back, in obvious distress.
MATCH #4: DARIA DORSEY (4) VS LUKAS BAUELAIRE (4)
WORLD CUP PLATINUM LEAGUE MATCH
The opening bell rings as these two immediately lock up! As the usually most technically savvy person in any given match, Dorsey is caught by surprise as Baudelaire is able to immediately wrap her up with a Waistlock! He takes her to the mat with a Shoot Throw, before immediately continuing the hold on the mat! Dorsey continues to struggle, eventually making it to her feet and attempting to pry Baudelaire’s arms from around her waist! Baudelaire doesn’t let up however, dropping Dorsey with a German Suplex before she can get much headway in escaping! He bridges for the pin, with Dorsey kicking out at two!
Baudelaire pulls Dorsey to her feet, looking to get her in position for a Powerbomb! But Dorsey reverses, dropping Baudelaire with a Back Body Drop before catching him right across the jaw with a Superkick as he attempts to get up! Baudelaire once again attempts to make it to his feet, only for Dorsey to grab him and throw him into the corner! She mounts the second rope, nailing him over the head with a Punches before Baudelaire begins to reverse, getting her up for the Powerbomb! Dorsey reverses, resorting to the rare high-flying move as she takes Baudelaire down with a Hurricanrana! Baudelaire makes it back to his feet, only to be caught with a Dropkick! Baudelaire gets up again, this time looking to get the jump on Dorsey as he goes for a Clothesline! But Dorsey reverses, getting him into position and dropping him with a Ripcord Knee Strike! Pin by Dorsey, with Baudelaire kicking out at two!
Dorsey looks to finish this one off, waiting in the corner for Baudelaire to make it to his feet before going for her signature Knee Lift/Back Suplex combo! She nails the Knee Lift and looks for the Back Suplex…but Baudelaire lands on his feet off of it! He immediately backs into the ropes, before coming back towards Dorsey with The Death of Peace of Mind (Running Bicycle Knee Strike) that turns Dorsey inside out! Just like that, Baudelaire is on top of Dorsey, securing the three count and ending this one!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Lukas! Baudelaire!
Amber Westgate: As if Lukas Baudelaire couldn’t be considered threatening enough! He just put away a former World Heavyweight Champion with relative ease!
Adam LaRue: Daria Dorsey gave her best in this one, but it wasn’t enough for her to avoid that devastating Knee from Baudelaire!
Baudelaire stands tall as we fade!WINNER: LUKAS BAUDELAIRE (2 POINTS EARNED)
RESULT: PINFALL (THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND)
We see highlights from last week’s National Championship defense, namely the ending, as Valentina Skye clocks Nao Saegusa in the skull with the belt twice to become the new champion! Except not, as her illegal attack actually gets the result overturned, and Saegusa is declared to still be champion! We see Skye start another brutal attack on the champion only to be chased away by Xavier Amari!
We fade from that footage to find Nao Saegusa. She’s standing backstage, the National Championship still around her waist, and one hand gingerly rubbing the back of her head.
Nao Saegusa: My head IS killing me still, yea, thanks for asking!
That hand drops though, instead coming to rest on the National.
Nao Saegusa: And yet, here I remain, with this. There was a moment, through the intense pain in my skull, where I could comprehend the words being said. Her name being announced as champion. The…disappointment coming up inside of me along with that pain, that someone had managed to gain something that meant so much to me via means like that. It hurt. But then…the strangest thing happened. My own name was announced. For once, someone’s wrong action actually gets reversed? Their reward for what they did was taken away?
She reaches a hand up and pinches a few times at her cheek, noting she does indeed still seem to be where she is, she smiles.
Nao Saegusa: Well isn’t THAT something!
She takes a moment, tapping her chin unseriously.
Nao Saegusa: My, you’d almost think there actually could be a conspiracy against her…
She chuckles, shaking her aching head.
Nao Saegusa: But the reality is that isn’t the case at all. She just had the terrible luck of being the rare person to do something terrible and have something officially done about it. It does happen, it’s just so rare that it feels like it’s a once in a lifetime thing.
The amusement fades from her face.
Nao Saegusa: Not that that’ll matter to her of course.
She paces a bit, looking around the corridor she’s in as she does, wondering.
Nao Saegusa: I wonder how that mind of hers is taking that in. How raging mad she must be. Must be really stormy in there right now. And the excuses, my my. They must be flowing. But, let’s be fair and clear and open on a few things!
She stops her pacing, facing the camera with a deeply serious expression on that face.
Nao Saegusa: If you think you’re the rightful National Champion, you’re not. You tried to take this belt without actually earning it, and for once that was turned around and reversed. This belt wasn’t stolen from you, you tried to steal it, and you failed. You’re still not a champion in Zion like you yelled about deserving to be, and with how you’re showing yourself to be, you aren’t going to be anytime soon.
She takes a step forward, certain.
Nao Saegusa: Because you showed that I was right about you. I said that wrong actions like the ones you always take won’t last forever and that was proven. You could’ve tried to beat me with your own ability, but you knew you couldn’t, like I said. Succeeding in wrestling is about growing. You lose, you absorb what you did wrong and try to grow stronger and surpass yourself. If you can’t do that, you won’t actually grow, and if you don’t grow you’ll be left behind. And beneath all the yelling about…whatever, a part of you knows that. That’s why you rely so much on shortcuts and cheap shots and all of that. They’re to cover up that you know you’ve been left behind, and you don’t want to try and actually get stronger. As I said before, the person who defeated you was yourself. The moment you decided you weren’t good enough to beat me yourself and grabbed that belt, it was over. Not for my reign, but for your dreams of having the belt around your waist.
She steps back, allowing the camera to take in the full sight of her with the National around her waist.
Nao Saegusa: The reality is it’s still around mine, and so long as you refuse to actually change anything about yourself, it won’t ever be around yours.
She gives a shrug.
Nao Saegusa: I mean, maybe she’ll learn now, realize her actions never will produce anything lasting, anything satisfying, and change. But she won’t, right? I know that. I’m not dumb, not after dealing with everything I have. She’ll screech and cry and come for blood. Like she tried that night after realizing how she cost herself this belt. And even then, her actions went unrewarded, because someone chose to do the right thing.
Her expression softens.
Nao Saegusa: Xavier.
She bows her head in gratitude.
Nao Saegusa: You said no need for thanks, and yet you will receive them regardless. After all, it’s rare to see someone rush out to help another just from the goodness of their hearts. It was Heroic, and for that you have my thanks. Especially since it means I’m sure her eyes are on you too now. Facing her just a week after she failed like that, she must have some terrible things in mind to try and do to you. Oh dear.
A bit of a smile comes across her face.
Nao Saegusa: How fortunate that a Hero has to repay a kindness given, and ensure no one is hurt by someone’s raging actions, yes?
She reaches up and taps right next to her eye, her smile growing.
Nao Saegusa: So I’ll keep a close eye on what happens tonight. She won’t be happy, I’m sure we’re both aware, and I’m sure we’d both like to hope things will simply be normal but if not…well! Hopefully someone with a pair of eyes and sososo quick feet can help if she tries to be…well, herself!
She leans back against the wall behind her, not taking a seat just in case she needs to hurry off.
Nao Saegusa: So, let’s all enjoy the show and see what happens, hm?
With that, we cut away.
The scene starts with Valentina Skye, sitting down in one of the thrones that once belonged to Trinity. Her hair is disheveled with her eyes looking like she hasn’t slept at all. The events that happened to her, may have been her boiling point.
Valentina Skye: I had it….
She unfolds her palms that were folded and balls them up into a fist
Valentina Skye: I HAD THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WON!!!
Valentina stands up and gets out of the throne.
Valentina Skye: It was in my hands until the referees reversed a decision, leading to Xaiver Amari sticking his goddamn nose where it didn’t belong!
She gets more pissed off.
Valentina Skye: HOW DARE YOU! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU COME IN AND RUIN THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE! HOW DARE YOU RUIN A ACCOMPLISHMENT I WAITED FOR SINCE 2021!!
Valentina is losing her mind.
Valentina Skye: You are a LIFE RUINER XAVIER because just like EVERYONE here in Zion Wrestling, YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE ME SUCCEED!!!
Valentina kicks the throne over.
Valentina Skye: That’s OK, Xavier because tonight….
She begins to shake
Valentina Skye: ….is going to be the worst night of your life! Tonight, your blood is going to be on my hands…..and tonight, will the night that Zion PLANS your funeral arrangements!
Her eyes widened.
Valentina Skye: And when I am done, Nao, I am STILL going to be gunning for you and that championship! I knew you were in on this because Zion TOLD YOU to get Xavier out on me to pre-
Just then the cameras go bleep.
MATCH #5: VALENTINA SKYE VS XAVIER AMARI
Xavier went for a traditional lock-up with Valentina, but she avoided it, shaking her head no. It was clear that she wasn’t going to give him an easy chance at taking control if she could help it. He looked at her, shrugging before catching her with a snap suplex. Valentina scrambled back to her feet, an incredulous look on her face as she looked at Xavier. He gave her a little grin, but that only seemed to enrage her. Skye charged at Amari, going for a DDT, but he countered with one of his own! That only seemed to piss Valentina off more as she smacked the mat and pushed herself up to her feet. She caught Xavier with an eye poke, leaving her to be admonished by the referee. She rolled her eyes before going for a suplex, but he managed to keep her from executing the devastating move. He threw a few punches into her rib area, getting her to release him before nailing her with a short-arm lariat. He quickly backed up, waiting for her to start getting up before hitting Divine Smite and going for a quick pin!
ONE…!
TW-!!
NO! Valentina kicked out just before the two-count was made, frustrating Xavier! Both competitors got to their feet, although Valentina was a little slower to do so. Amari charged at her, but she dodged his attempt at a roundhouse kick before grabbing him for another suplex attempt. This time, she was able to execute the move and send him slamming down hard! She went for a standing moonsault, but he rolled out of the way, leaving her to have a miniature crash and burn moment. He pulled her up and threw her into the corner, nailing her with a back elbow after she slammed against the turnbuckle. Xavier lifted her onto the top of the corner, looking for a superplex, but she was able to shove him off, causing him to slam on the mat hard. She waited for him to get up before leaping off of the ropes, hitting him with a vicious DDT that left him dazed. From there, she hit Suns Out and went for a pin, using the ropes for a little extra leverage.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THR-!!!
Valentina’s feet got pushed off of the ropes causing her to release the pin! She quickly leapt to her feet and looked around, seeing Nao Saegusa standing there, shaking her head! Valentina shot towards the ropes, yelling at Nao that she had no right to interfere. The referee began looking between the two women with Nao holding her hands up in innocence. What Valentina didn’t notice was Xavier back on his feet and coming up behind her. He quickly grabbed her in a roll-up pin, and the referee began the count.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THREE…!!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Xavier! Amari!
Amber Westgate: Xavier Amari gets the win tonight with a little help from Nao Saegusa!
Adam LaRue: The conspiracy seems to continue for Valentina Skye here tonight!
Saegusa and Amari stand tall, with Skye looking about ready to snap on the outside of the ring as we fade!WINNER: XAVIER AMARI
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLLUP)
In the dimly lit backstage area of the wrestling arena, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the legendary gunslinger of the ring, Charlie St Haven, prepared for her fifth career match. Dressed in her signature black leather attire, adorned with gleaming silver studs, she exuded an air of confidence and determination as she paced back and forth, her boots echoing against the concrete floor.
With a flick of her wrist, Charlie adjusted the brim of her stetson hat, the shadow casting a mysterious veil over her face. She paused in front of the camera, her piercing gaze locking onto the lens as she began to speak, her voice a mix of grit and determination.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: "This might be my fifth rodeo in ZION—"
Charlie began, her words carrying the weight of her experience in the ring.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: "—But the way I see it; every match is a new challenge, a new opportunity to prove myself. And tonight, I'm going in with all guns ablaze, ready for whatever Diamond Steele throws my way."
Her words were met with a ripple of excitement from the crowd, the anticipation building with each passing moment. Charlie's reputation as the last of the gunslingers had earned her respect and admiration from fans and foes alike, and tonight was no exception.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: “I've stared down some of the best opponents in the ZION ring as of late—"
Charlie continued, her voice steady and unwavering.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: “—But Diamond Steele ain't just any opponent. She's fierce, she's relentless, and she's hungry for victory. But so am I."
As she spoke, Charlie's hands tightened into fists, the fire of determination burning bright in her eyes. She was ready for the battle ahead, ready to face whatever challenges awaited her in the ring.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: “So tonight, Diamond Steele, you better bring everything you've got—"
Charlie declared, her voice echoing with conviction.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: " —Because I ain't backing down, I ain't giving up, and I sure as hell ain't letting anyone stand in the way of my victory."
With a final nod to the camera, Charlie turned on her heel and strode off into the darkness, her presence lingering in the air like the echo of a gunshot. The stage was set, the gunslinger ready for battle, and the crowd roared with excitement as the countdown to the match began.
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen please rise up for the return of Razzles Mars!!
Amber Westgate: I don’t believe it! I know it was mentioned earlier in the night that she would be here but is this really true?!
Adam Larue: I don’t know but this crowd is going crazy!
The crowd begins to go absolutely crazy as they begin to chant Razzles name over and over again.
RAZZLES!
RAZZLES!
RAZZLES!
A pulsing beat of light flickers the stage and the fans in hues of pink. It flashes, before the howling starting notes of "Strawberry Shake" by POP LEVI reverberate through the PA system.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The beat increases, as "Strawberry Shake" gets into its energetic beat. We see a figure excitedly rushes out past the velvet lined curtains, a lollipop's stick seen prodding from between her lips. She bounces on the stage, hands clapping in time with the beat, hyping up the crowd.
She pauses, some visible confusion on her face leading to that of DIAMOND who smirks as she is dressed as her best friend. The crowd begins to boo as Diamond skips to the ring with her space balls on her hair.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN standing at 54,000 of ROTTEN strawberries she is the OVERRATED, the LOSER, and the whiny RAZZLES LARD!!!!
She calls out excitedly from outside of the ring, undoing the attachments of her entrance jacket and skirt. She tries to collect a few high fives from the fans in attendance but receives boos in return. Diamond flicks her hair as she quickly slides into the ring and calls for a microphone.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: LOOK AT ME!!! MY NAME IS RAZZLE LARD!!! I AM NOT THE HERO YOU ALL MAKE ME TO BE! I am a big loser and I am out here to say that Diamond is just SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN ME! I know I was a weak champion. I owe it all to Diamond and after all she is truly raw cut. If she didn’t carry me and give me her madness number I might have been as dominant as Sofia Hilton’s entrant in this year’s Rumble! I mean only Diamond could be tough to win the Infinity match! Diamond carried me to a tag title. She carried me to feud of the year and my life wouldn’t be anywhere without her in it! I OWE EVERYTHING TO HER!!! Yet you people boo her!!!
The boos begin to get louder as the crowd roars Diamond sucks.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: She doesn’t suck! I am the one who sucks just like the big lollipop in my mouth, but then again I TOTES TAKE A LOT OF THINGS IN MY MOUTH AS WELL. Only Diamond is worthy enough to represent England in the World Cup and if it was me I would fall under the pressure. I mean I would just probably cut a promo using words like INNIT, KNACKERED, BLOODY, BOLLOCKS, POPPYCOCK, JUST TO SHOWCASE I AM BRITISH!!!!!! OMGoshie Diamond is a ture hero though. Whereas I left all of you and disappeared, I melted away like cotton candy that gets wet under Kate could have stood up to the pressure of Kara Carbajal when she took my title away. Only she went in there like a bad ass and actually gave a fuck but I bailed. I tucked my tail between my legs and I left all of you to hang and dry. Don’t boo Kate you need to boo me because I let ALL of you down!
The crowd flicks her off as Diamond runs her hands through her hair as she takes her space buns out and lets her hair dangle down her back.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: Honestly Rachelle Marsh doesn’t like anybody. She doesn’t like herself. If she did she would have answered my challenge but that won’t ever happen. She just came across like a big quitter. She lost her title and faded away into nothing never to be heard from again. I made her relevant again but mentioning her but obviously she doesn’t care about this business and she knows that I was one title away from being a Grand Slam Champion in this company. I am that big title away from making my mark in this company. I know things may not have happened in the way I wanted but at 5’2 and 110 pounds I will HAVE MY MOMENT. However before I go anyway I need to put the past firmly in my rearview and seeing as Fusion is where it all begun, it’s damn sure going to be where it all ends. It’s a fitting feet to bury her once and for all, and seeing that I like things as a big ordeal I think the Television special on March 29th is the best place to have a home going service for the beloved fan favourite. Say your goodbyes to Rock Candy because at the tv special I will present the funeral for Rachelle Marsh… Cheers and may all of you go fuck yourselves tonight…/
With that Diamond walks away to the sound of boos as the crowd flips her off. Before she can go far however, "Pet Semetary" by The Ramones begins to play, with Charlie St. Haven coming out through the curtain.
Amber Westgate: I looks like Charlie St. Haven isn’t gonna let Diamond get too far with her buffoonery!
Adam LaRue: We’ve got a World Cup Platinum League Match, and we’ve got it coming up right now! Strap in folks!
St. Haven ushers Diamond down to the ring, as she follows her down.
MATCH #6: CHARLIE ST. HAVEN (0) VS DIAMOND STEELE (0)
WORLD CUP PLATINUM LEAGUE MATCH
Both Diamond Steele and Charlie St. Haven had the same amount of points, zero. But neither of them were going to half ass their performances on this night, with Diamond and Charlie getting into a quick Collar and Elbow tie up with Haven getting the upper hand in the grappling exchange, pushing Diamond all the way back to the corner where a clean break was called. Charlie didn't break the hold clean, delivering a smack to the face of Diamond with a confident look on the face of Haven. Steele responded with a smack of her own, causing Haven to go back a couple steps. Diamond grabbed the head of Charlie, running up the ropes to swing around with a Tornado DDT! Diamond scrambled back to her feet, climbing to the top rope where she jumped off with a Double Stomp, but Haven moved out of the way causing Diamond to roll back to her feet. Charlie used this as an advantage to nail Diamond with a big SILVER BULLET out of nowhere! Diamond didn't go down, only going to a kneeling position, so Charlie nailed a SILVER BULLET II on Diamond, laying her out. Charlie went for the win early, going for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Both women could tell that the match was in it's closing moments, both down on the mat due to Diamond Steele connecting with a big FLOAT OVER NECKBREAKER on Charlie St. Haven. Both got back to their feet at the same time, not wasting a second to go back onto the offense. Diamond nailed Charlie with a Pele Kick, sending Charlie back into the corner where she added onto that with a big Yakuza kick in the corner, Haven going down to a seated position in the corner. Steele noticed this, running to the opposite corner then came back with a huge Cannonball! Steele could feel the momentum going her way, getting Charlie back up where she attempted a Float Over DDT, Haven reversing that with a Spinebuster out of nowhere! Diamond immediately reversed with a Rollup, getting a two count from Haven. Diamond was slow to get back to her feet, staying on her hands and knees for just a second too long, allowing Haven to stomp the head of Steele into the mat with an ENTER THE DEAD ZONE! Haven got into the cover, hooking both legs of Steele.
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Charlie! St. Haven!
Amber Westgate: Diamond played too much with fire, and she just got burned! Charlie St. Haven wins, eliminating Diamond from this tournament!
Adam LaRue: Diamond becomes the first person tournament wide to not make enough points to qualify, still sitting at zero! The Last of the Gunslingers just shot down one person’s hopes to making it into the Destiny main event!
St. Haven celebrates as we fade!WINNER: CHARLIE ST. HAVEN (2 POINTS EARNED)
RESULT: PINFALL (ENTER THE DEADZONE)
A previously recorded logo appears momentarily before the shaky image of Blaze Darling comes into view. You can hear her briefly arguing with the setup she has before she’s finally in perfect vision. She gives an exasperated smile and a wave, wearing a cute little cut up QOC t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts.
BLAZE DARLING: Hello, everybodyyyyyyyy! I don’t have a match tonight, but I wanted to at least say something. I’m not there… yet! But, I will be lurking later because who knows what kinda trouble is waiting in the shadows.
She takes a moment to wiggle her fingers at the camera for emphasis, before letting out a little laugh. But, her demeanor turns serious a moment later.
BLAZE DARLING: Kaya thought she could handle things on her own. Her darling new “sister” thought otherwise and stuck her nose where it doesn’t belong. Unfortunately for them, I’m a great person who does not hold grudges. But, I remember everything. Always.
BLAZE DARLING: So, tonight… I will be watching very closely! Because there’s bound to be some chaos regardless. Of course, my sister Yukiko has a match of her own tonight. I’m looking forward to watching every second of it. Believe me, I can handle the violence. Heck, I was in a pretty grueling match with some of my sisters before! So, this is nothin’.
The whole time, she’s not sitting still. She’s strolling along the dock. Dipping her toes into the water. Pacing along the shore. The view changes as Blaze can be seen resting along the shore, her head lifted towards the Heavens above, her palms resting in the sand and her fingers dug into the warm sand beneath her palms.
BLAZE DARLING: It's important for me to always support my fellow QOC sisters because they’ve never given up on me… and I’ve never given up on them. Even when others are in my ear. Even when people are constantly telling me I deserve better. There is a reason Jessi chose me and I can never let her down. Ever. Just the same for my sisters. So, if Yuki needs it? I will be there to help. Only if she needs it.
Blaze glances at the camera finally, waving her hand at the camera, before the scene slowly fades away.
Backstage the cameraman makes his way through the hallways. He approached a door which felt very warm to the touch, then a man pulled the door open looking at the man standing before him. Ruslan then adjusted his tie, looking at the cameraman. Kaya is heard cursing out in the background as Ruslan pulled the door shut.
Ruslan Lucic: sometimes my pupil tends to forget who she is, and how people affect her so. My case in point, last week Yukiko Kusanagi, you made sure the distraction my pupil had turned against her. She tends to not forget this, and I've told her that her pain is needed to focus her, giving her the strength that she will need to defeat every person in her way.
Kaya rips the door open her hair in a mess as she looked at the cameraman smirking. She holds up a rose for him as she turned to Ruslan nodding. She then waited.
Ruslan Lucic: See that right there is a symbol of her hatred, also her mercy when she comes. The Poisoned Rose will—-
She then steps in front of him as she smiled.
“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: not be afraid of the devil. 悪魔は私を恐れる必要があります。毒の薔薇はすぐに会うでしょう、雌犬。心配しないでください、あなたの人生には意味があるでしょう. See you soon.
Kaya smirked as she looked at the cameraman still holding the rose as she begins to walk, not turning back with Ruslan at her back.
“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: Dracarys. Mommy is sorry.
The rose burst into flames as the cameraman threw the rose down on fire. She laughed as she looked over her shoulder and her eyes were grey.
“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: I'm here.
The cameraman runs off as Lucic looks at Desdemona.
Amber Westgate: Tonight has been exciting so far, but next week is set to have some bangers on it as well! Fusion 119 comes to you live from the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., as we kick things off with Platinum League action!
Adam LaRue: Starting the night, the undefeated Lukas Baudelaire goes up against the undeterrable Isabella Rossi. Daria Dorsey looks to pick herself back up, while Diamond Steele looks to just gain some points in this tournament. Finishing off the action for the week, Charlie St. Haven and Yumi Akiyama fight to survive once again as they go one-on-one!
Amber Westgate: Kaya Parker has been running rampant with her Gateway Championship in tow! But how will fare against someone just as chaotic? Next week, she goes one-on-one with Samuel Lopez, with the Gateway Championship on the line!
Adam LaRue: Ravenna Rojas has been out for revenge for weeks now, and it seems as though Zion management have finally given it to her! Ravenna Rojas takes on Sofia Hilton next week one-on-one!
Amber Westgate: And starting off the night, Nadia Allen made a challenge to Gianna Rojas for her Viral Championship! Rojas accepted, but management wants to make sure that Allen earns it! She steps into the ring against a former Viral Championship in her own right, in fact, the very FIRST Viral Champion! Nadia Allen takes on Jordan Majors in the main event! All that and more next week on Fusion!

The house lights go down after her voice projects from the venue’s speaker system, and the opening strains of her theme, Paper Planes by SSSC begin to play. Bright, festive lights begin to chase around the edge of the stage and in pulses start heading down the ramp at the sides, retreating and advancing but never quite getting all the way down to the floor, waiting for the woman of the hour, so to speak, the one all the fuss was about tonight. The colors are green white and red proudly representing Mexican heritage, and now a rich fog flows out over the stage as the Zion Wrestling Viral Champion Gianna Rojas appears on stage.
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, I got warrants in my name
If you come around here, we workin' all day
Your life gon' pass you in a second if you wait
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome…the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPION!...GIANNA! ROJAS!
Amber Westgate: 372 days! 18 total defenses! It goes without saying that Gianna Rojas has become the single most decorated champion in Zion Wrestling history!
Adam LaRue: Certainly a justified celebration for the woman! Literal dozens of champions have come and gone since she won that Viral Championship on March 3rd of last year! But through it all she’s stuck around through it all!
There's pyro in the same colors as Gianna lifts her hands up in the air, and colorful confetti falls from the ceiling over the fans around the ringside area, those same colors plus gold. Streamers join the confetti as the music swells and some cute kids wearing the same type of clothing and makeup that Gianna has on come running down through the crowd and handing out goodie bags of candy and other assorted items.
She moves out to the top of the stage and holds her arms out as if to embrace all of the fans, spinning in place and bouncing before she begins to take steps down the ramp, the lights pacing her now. Her theme song fades out and a mariachi band comes from the back quickly and begins to play, a singer with them picking up on the lyrics where the recording faded out.
Just like Jesse James when I'm sittin' on trains
Every step we get, see we're clockin' that game
Dog food for dinner, the world is in flames
Bonafide hustlers making that change
A wide, brilliant grin appears on her lips as she begins to skip the last few feet of the ramp and then makes her way around the ring dancing and carrying on, greeting the fans clamoring for her attention, some of them she pauses to give words of encouragement or an extra smile or two. She then slowly climbs the ring steps and slides into the ring after wiping her boots off on the apron, as she usually does. She moves to the center of the ring and waits for the song to play out a bit more.
All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money
All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money
She gets a microphone from the ring announcer before turning to the band and gesturing for them to stop. She puts her hands to her chest and does a little bow towards them and then waves as they head to the back. The fans cheer and show off some of the things they got from the goodie bags to the cameras that are panning around. Gianna unhooks her title belt and looks at it, her expression quite emotional before she holds it up with one hand. The fans cheer again at this display and she nestles it across her right shoulder before she begins to speak.
Gianna Rojas: ¡Un año! ¡365 dias! ¿Te imaginas cómo se siente esto? Todo el tiempo ustedes, los fans, han estado conmigo en cada paso del camino.
She pauses again, only a slight tremble of her lips showing how truly emotional she is feeling right now.
Gianna Rojas: ¡te quiero todo! No podría haber hecho esto sin todos ustedes, su apoyo significa mucho para mí y estoy muy feliz de compartir esta celebración con ustedes. Me habéis visto a lo largo de este año enfrentar a todos los Challenger, una y otra vez teniendo peleas difíciles y no lo haría de otra manera. Así que quiero agradecerles a todos, pero también quiero agradecerles a ellos por hacerme un mejor luchador a lo largo del camino.
Gianna's smile is back, brilliant and showing her emotional happiness in this moment.
Gianna Rojas: Cuando volví a la lucha libre no tenía idea de qué tipo de recepción tendría. Nadie que yo conociera seguía trabajando, así que me arriesgué y vine aquí. Ha valido la pena cada momento. y he estado muy orgulloso de representarlos a todos. Por supuesto que quiero continuar como tu Campeón Viral pero ¿incluso si este fuera mi último día como campeón? No me arrepentiría ni un solo momento.
Her hand is over her heart again, a fan in the front row yells that they love her and she waves to them, pausing her speech to do so. But before she can begin again, a loud roar sweeps through the audience. Emerging from the curtain is Nadia Allen! She’s dressed in a black and magenta “Nadia Allen” tee with blue jeans. Quickly, Nadia storms down to the ring. Gianna looks a little surprised, perhaps not at the interruption because this is after all wrestling, but that it is Nadia who has come down. The red hair slides into the ring, then shifts her gaze to one of the staff members. Rising up her right hand, she forms a fist and taps the top of it with her left pointer finger. A microphone is tossed inside the ring, to which Nadia leans down and grabs. Standing a few feet away from Gianna, Nadia brings the mic to her lips.
Nadia Allen: I won’t waste their time, your time or mine so I'm going to make this quick. Gianna, everyone knows you are one of the best in Zion and in pro wrestling. You having that title for one year proves that. I see your run and all the other great wrestlers that you’ve beaten and all I’ve thought is I want to beat you.
The crowd roars a bit. Gianna locks eyes with Nadia.
Nadia Allen: That’s why I’m here. I want you in this ring. For that.
Nadia points to the title.
Nadia Allen: Whenever, wherever is fine. As long as the next time you defend that title, it’s against me.
There's a pause as Gianna considers her words and then she nods. She takes a deep breath and then says something that might be a little shocking to the people who have followed her to this point. In perfectly crisp English she says…
Gianna Rojas: You're on! I accept your challenge!
The crowd roars! Nadia gives a nod, maintaining eye contact with Gianna. Twisting her head towards the crowd, Nadia glares around the arena. Turning back to Gianna, she gives another nod before backing away and exiting the ring; storming back up the ramp.
Amber Westgate: Nadia Allen throwing out a bold challenge, especially with the timing of it all! But Rojas accepted! This could be really good, Adam!
Adam LaRue: Nadia Allen has been looking for her place ever since being screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship! She had to come back down to earth and realize what she came to Zion for, and that was to fight and beat the best! Who better than the most decorated champion in company history?
==========[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==========
==========[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==========
The lights dim as the Shieldmaidens motto “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes over the Tron. The Hall Effect's "Gin & Tonic" plays as Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas makes her way to the ring in full club colors, ready to rumble. Ravenna gets a microphone and stares directly up the aisle.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: Coneja…
She turns and looks around the arena.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: Come out and play, Coneja…
Finding nothing coming from the ocean of humanity around her, Ravenna turns back towards the aisle.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: ¡No puedes esconderte de mí para siempre, Coneja!
She steps back, shaking her in both disgust and disappointment.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: ¡Si no paras te voy a cascar!
With still no answer coming, Ravenna shakes her head.
Ravenna "Cuervo" Rojas: Have it your way, Coneja…
She drops the microphone and wanders off as the show cuts to something else.

Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

And their opponents…at a combined weight of 259 lbs…the team of Madi McNamara and Lena Galante...Rising Star! Boulevard!
Amber Westgate: Rising Star Boulevard making their official debuts as part of the Fusion roster, and what better way to do it than in Galante’s home of Boston?
Adam LaRue: Well they couldn’t have been paired against a worse set of opponents! Carlton Crew doesn’t care for hometown sentiment, and they certainly are gonna relish the opportunity to take someone down in front of their people!
Amber Westgate: And it looks like we have a watching set of eyes here as well! Look up there!
We cut to the skybox of TD Garden, as we see ISIS up there watching this match intently!
McNamara starts this match off against Walker, who brags to MacKenzie as he steps into the ring about this match being “lightwork”! He then immediately steps up to McNamara, catching a Dropkick for his troubles! Walker gets back up, with McNamara cinching in a Side Headlock! He finds a way to escape, pushing McNamara back into the ropes before pushing her off and towards the other side of the ring! Walker hunches over, anticipating an opportunity to attack when she comes back, but McNamara responds with a Kick to the head to snap him upwards, before quickly capitalizing with an Enzigiri! She gets Walker to his feet, getting him in position before dropping him with a Powerslam! Pin by McNamara!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Walker! McNamara is right on top of him, cinching in Rear Chinlock to wear him down! Walker thrashes around, supposedly in an attempt to escape! But as his thrashing begins to obscure the referee’s view of the submission, his true intentions begin to show as he reaches up and jams a thumb straight into McNamara’s eye! McNamara recoils, letting go of the hold in favor of clutching her wounded eye! The official goes to check on her, but before they can get too suspicious of anything, Walker rushes in with a Knee Strike that sends her buckling out of the ring! Walker rolls out of the ring, getting into a heated verbal exchange with Lena Galante at ringside as he throws McNamara back into the ring! The argument is the distraction McNamara needs however, with Walker pulling her to her feet only to sustain a Knife Edge Chop!
Walker falls back into the corner, with McNamara lining up and looking for another Chop! But Walker gets out of the way, nailing McNamara with a Boot to the section that pins her down to the corner! He takes her across the ring, raking her head against the ropes as he does, before tagging in Barry MacKenzie! He steps into the ring, lifting McNamara up before he and Walker go for a Spinebuster/Neckbreaker combo! MacKenzie goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by McNamara! She immediately seems to know what she wants to do next, reaching towards her corner off the kick out! But MacKenzie isn’t letting that happen, getting McNamara into a Rear Chinlock to keep her away! McNamara is able to work her way back to her feet, extending her arm towards her corner as she tries to pry MacKenzie off her! MacKenzie pivots however, transitioning smoothly into a Full Nelson before driving McNamara down to the mat with a Full Nelson Slam! He goes for another pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out again by McNamara! MacKenzie once again tries to keep McNamara down off the pin, this time applying a grounded Waistlock as she remains seated on the mat! McNamara works her way back to her feet again, but before MacKenzie can turn this into another slam, she shows off her own strength, prying his hands apart! She quickly capitalizes on this, dropping to the mat and rolling through for a Victory Roll Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by MacKenzie, with MacNamara immediately going back on the offensive as she jumps up and lands a Double Foot Stomp! She immediately rushes to the corner and tags in Lena Galante, which gets a massive ovation from her hometown Boston crowd! Galante rushes into the ring, jumping over the prone body of MacKenzie to cut off Walker as he enters the ring with a Leaping Clothesline! Walker gets back to feet, with Galante catching him with a Running Forearm! Walker gets up and approaches her again, this time catching a Snap Belly-to-Belly Suplex for his troubles! Fortunately for him, he lands in the arms of MacKenzie off the move! Unfortunately for him, Galante was ready for this, jumping up and sending them both to the mat with a Dropkick! Walker rolls out of the ring as Galante covers MacKenzie!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by MacKenzie! Galante gets to her feet, looking to end this one as she points her attention towards ISIS in the skybox! She waits for MacKenzie to make it to his feet, before going for her signature Scorpion Kick! But before she can do it, Max Walker gets back to the apron, beckoning her attention! This doesn’t last long, with McNamara pulling him down! With the distractions out of the way, Galante goes for the move! But the distraction gives MacKenzie a route back into this, as he catches the Scorpion Kick and uses it to transition Galante perfectly into a Sit Out Powerbomb! MacKenzie goes to the top rope, launching off and dropping onto Galante with the Big Boi Splash! Frog Splash connects from the 350-pounder! MacKenzie with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
McNamara tries to make the save, but Walker is able to grab at her ankle, keeping her from entering the ring!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winners of this match…Carlton! Crew!
Amber Westgate: Carlton Crew pick up the upset victory over a pair of former Undisputed Tag Team Champions tonight!
Adam LaRue: Not to mention that they spoiled Lena Galante’s homecoming! I don’t think anything was expecting that! But as I alluded to before this match started, Amber, these boys love to play spoiler!
Walker and MacKenzie rush up the rampway to celebrate, as Galante attempts to get back up in the ring! McNamara watches from ringside, a look of dread on her face as she realizes she just let her partner down! We cut back to ISIS in the skybox, who gives a slight smile before picking up her title and leaving as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (BIG BOI SPLASH)
We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Diamond Steele… Excuse me.. DIAMOND, she cracks an evil grin as she is wearing a tight pair of jeans, a vest along with a pair of evil tinker bell wings on her back. She runs her hands through her long purple/pink hair as Amy Porter walks up to her. Diamond doesn’t even seem to wish to bother with her as she opens up a pocket mirror and begins to admire her hair.
Amy Porter: Diamond if it’s ok could we get a word with you. Last week you had so much to say and it has really shaken the foundation within the Queens of Chaos and your standing with the group.
Diamond doesn’t even bother with replying as she runs her hands through her hair and places more lip gloss on.
DIAMOND: Isn’t my hair absolutely beautiful. Honestly I might be the most beautiful thing in all of the roster, it just doesn’t get any better than being DIAMOND, and as the President of the New Diamond Republic I feel really amazing. If you must question me about the Queens what about them?! I know I said some stuff last week but it’s funny that it took me dropping a DIAMOND like I was in the middle of Sierra Leone to actually get people to acknowledge that I existed. I may have ruffled some feathers and in that instant people were quick to flock to me. I got reactions from Zachary Porter, I got a reaction from Kaya Parker and I will admit it did feel good. However this isn’t a duet, I don’t need background singers which is why I am now a SINGLES pop star. That’s why I shoved the Gem Stones aside so I could do me. As far as I am concerned Kaya and Zachary can both fuck themselves and they can grab the KY Jelly while they are at it. I know it helps with the lubrication…
Amy Porter: But we saw you acting all buddy like with them and…
DIAMOND: I don’t care WHAT you saw. I have opened my eyes to a lot of things and I am out to look for me first. However regardless if you want to put a label on me or not I still see Jessi Ozborne as a little sibling regardless we have different opinions about each other right now. We came up through the independent scene and THAT won’t change, and honestly I adore Nadia Allen. In the short time I have known her she has been a great fucking friend and I am not going to throw that away for anything. I am not a little Bitch. I don’t want to stand here and be a Kaya… If I do some fucked up shit I want people to SEE it coming. I don’t want to do it from behind. However I know you have so much to talk about. After all tonight it’s all about this World Cup series and yada yada yada but let’s talk about something more important. Let’s talk about a bad friend. My REAL anger is at Rachelle Marsh. She just bailed on me and despite me trying to stand up and fight in her honour she just leaves./
Diamond takes a deep breath as she continues to speak
DIAMOND: But I am supposed to let it go?! You don’t realize how stupid I looked wearing space buns. It hurts RACHELLE. You were my best friend and you just bailed on me and for what exactly?! Now I stand here and I constantly mention her over and over because she doesn’t know what went into trying to represent her. She makes one single tweet and the whole world swoons over her like it means everything. It’s bollocks and I am tired of the shit. You want to know what I really want Amy?! I want to fight Razzles Mars in the middle of the ring. I would love to make her tap out like a little Bitch and prove to her that I am the better wrestler and definitely the better submission expert. We been through so much but I need to get out of her shadow. So that’s why I am going to put my big girl panties on and do this like an honourable woman…
Amy smirks as she looks back at Diamond.
Amy Porter: Well it might be your lucky day because I have reports that she is ACTUALLY in the building tonight…As a matter of fact she’s addressing the crowd tonight./
DIAMOND: Good… I think I will be watching… Cheers Amy, I got a match to prepare for…
With that Diamond walks away as we fade out.
Friday Night Fusion returns to the ring to find the final sounds of Bosses Daughter playing over the P.A System, standing inside the ring ready to compete next is Isabella Rossi. She is slowly pacing back and forth while holding the microphone in hand, she looks to be a woman in deep thought… The crowd’s reaction at this point is rather mixed, while some have cheered her, others have booed her as well but there is an air of buzz amongst them. Once the crowd begins to settle down Isabella looks up and raises the microphone…
Isabella Rossi: Thank you for the oh so warm reception tonight… I know I am not your favourite individual in the company… yet. But I understand that your adulation tonight will be for the woman I face in the World Cup in just a few short moments… I face someone who is special don’t I, a woman who in essence resonates with all of you because like you, she was once a fan.
Isabella nods while some crowd members cheer, she is speaking about her opponent Yumi Akiyama. The reaction from the crowd brings about a smile from the French/Italian superstar.
Isabella Rossi: Yes, cheer her because it is commendable to take the plunge like she has, it isn’t easy trying to get into this business, is it? Non, but I will give you credit for achieving your goal. Because there are a lot of hardships for women like us, I have had my fair share of trials and tribulations after all. Peers looking down upon me, telling me I wouldn’t achieve anything of worth… Individuals that wouldn’t take my dream to be the very best in the world seriously…
Isabella lowers the microphone to look out at the crowd, gauge their reaction. Some cheer while some continue to boo her. She remains stoic while she reminisced.
Isabella Rossi: But that is what this opportunity we have before us is all about, making our dreams come true. I’ll go as far as to say Kai Morgan is our very special Willy Wonka and Zion Wrestling is his chocolate factory. We all hold a Platinum Ticket opposed to the Golden ticket over on Mayhem. So as of right now you are still living your dream aren’t you Yumi? Fan, turned referee, turned professional wrestler. Tonight, you look to keep on the good fight, and I look forward to it. I meant what I said last week that you’re far more interesting than my previous opponent.
The crowd roars a little at the shot aimed at Diamond Steele, Isabella nods while she approaches the ropes to look towards the hard cam and raises the mic once again.
Isabella Rossi: But this is where I tell you something disappointing Yumi… I must be the bearer of bad news… I too have a dream and it’s one that pushes me forward each time I step foot in this ring, when I stand on this canvas, and I look out at all of the people watching each and every week. Because I could be a victim of my own success tonight. Trois matches I’ve had since I joined Zion Wrestling, TROIS and I have won every. Single. One of them and I’ll admit mon cher I am on cloud nine. We are almost halfway through this tournament, and I can see the end in sight, and I know right here, tonight is going to be the turning point. It’s do or die right here and not just for me, but you too Yumi and that makes you incredibly dangerous…
Isabella nods.
Isabella Rossi: It is no secret that after Mayhem aired, I said something that caught a lot of fans attention. Looking back, I’ll admit it was from a moment of excitement when the realisation set in with the possibilities… I said I stood to possibly be the first out of everyone left to earn six points. Now this wasn’t a prediction, it certainly was not a spoiler, but it was a mere statement of fact. A statement some people pointed out might bite me in my perfect ass. But I said it for good reason as well, to motivate me. To make sure that I kept my eye on the prize because I’m already thinking two, three, four steps ahead of the rest of the pack.
Isabella smirks now as she slowly paces the ring, the crowd now hanging off every word she utters with her alluring French accent…
Isabella Rossi: Because I have to, It’s a necessity because should I do exactly what I set myself out to do and beat you like I did Daria Rossi in my debut, like I did Charlie St. Haven in the first match and Diamon Steele in the second, I have to put you down and end your time here in the World Cup to keep my momentum going because the more I look ahead mon cher, I see I have an Everest to climb in both Lukas and Daria and then whomever stands across from me to deny my path to Destiny 3...
Isabella starts to remove her jacket and walks over to the corner and hands it to one of the ring crew before now leaning into a corner…
Isabella Rossi: But that is then Yumi, this is now, and I while I think of the long game, my thoughts are very much placed in the present with you. You’ve said what you had to say, I have said my piece and the time for talking is no more. Isabella Rossi, Bella Tempesta, Le Femme Fatale, is waiting…
Isabella then drops the mic to the apron which gets picked up by a member of the crew as she now stretches and pulls at the ropes waiting for her opponent and the match to start…
MATCH #2: YUMI AKIYAMA (0) VS ISABELLA ROSSI (4)
WORLD CUP PLATINUM LEAGUE MATCH
Isabella Rossi walked into this match with four points, while Yumi Akiyama had zero. The confidence in Isabella was hard to miss, while Yumi wanted to prove to everyone that she was indeed someone you didn't want to be messing with. Yumi started the match with a quick and fast paced start, running right towards Isabella to connect with a Japanese Arm Drag. Isabella got right back to her feet, rushing at Yumi who timed the attack to reverse with another Japanese Arm Drag. Both women got up at the same time, with Yumi getting the quick upper hand with a big Dropkick that sent Isabella rolling to the outside of the ring where she was clearly frustrated with how quickly the match started. Yumi ran the ropes, diving to the outside with a Tope Con Giro! Yumi went to pick Isabella back up to her feet, but Isabella pushed Yumi back into the steel steps with her head smacking against them. Akiyama was sitting against the steps as Rossi rushed in, slamming into Yumi with Double Knees against the steps! Isabella threw Yumi back into the ring, getting her to her feet to connect with a big KISS OF BEAUTÉ to go for a cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Going down the stretch, Yumi Akiyama and Isabella Rossi were trading forearms back and forth, Yumi getting the upper hand with a big Pump Kick, sending Isabella back into the corner with Akiyama not wasting a second to run straight towards Rossi, trying for a Shotgun Dropkick but Isabella reversed that with a Pump Kick of her own and followed up with a Double Stomp to the chest of Akiyama. Isabella got Akiyama back to her feet, throwing a big European Uppercut to send Akiyama down to one knee. Isabella ran to the ropes, coming back to look for something big but got caught by Yumi with a SUPERKICK out of nowhere! Yumi fell to the mat, rolling to the apron and waited for Isabella to get back to her feet. Yumi jumped into the air, looking for Death From Above but Isabella moved out of the way, Yumi landing on her feet and turned around to meet a Pump Kick from Rossi, Yumi backing into the ropes where she ran forward, jumping on the shoulders of Isabella and turned herself around to connect with a big PoisonRana! Yumi bridged her body and went for a pinfall, stacking Isabella’s body to try to get the pinfall over Rossi!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Yumi! Akiyama!
Amber Westgate: Yumi Akiyama secures her first win in this tournament and keeps herself moving in this one!
Adam LaRue: It was do or die for Yumi Akiyama, but she decided to absolutely do it tonight! But the thing is, every match going forward is do or die for her! She needs to make sure this victory doesn’t get to her head!
Akiyama celebrates her victory as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (POISONRANA)
We fade to a dark area backstage, where we see Jessi Ozborne pacing around. She stops in the middle of the frame, seemingly having something to get off her chest.
Jessi Ozborne: It’s funny. Everybody wants to talk about how the Queens are in shambles. That because a couple people decided to walk away, we’re suddenly the one’s on the downslope. Let me ask you something: How many factions on a “downslope” have you seen get a day named after em? Matter of fact, let me do you one better: How many factions have you seen get a day named after em, period? None. Especially not the one that’s actually in shambles, The Genesis of Destruction.
Jessi smiles a bit, with it being clear that even she knows people aren’t gonna get what she’s implying here.
Jessi Ozborne: Oh yeah, they look fine now. They’ve got all the gold. They’re at the top. But there’s a very particular danger that comes with being at the top, and it’s one that the Queens are immune to and that the G.O.D. are starting to see. All these people coming for their necks. All these people wanting a little bit of what they got. Madi McNamara on this side. Yukiko Kusanagi on this one. Hell, these fucks got me so heated, I’m even rooting for Serenity Holmes to succeed now.
Jessi’s demeanor seems to get more serious now.
Jessi Ozborne: But amongst all of em, there’s me. A very dangerous woman. And I say that because I’m not out for gold from any of you. Nah. I’m out for blood. You guys wanna refer to yourselves at Gods, then allow me to introduce myself as the fucking God Hunter, and when it comes to that reputation, I got a whole line of heads in my rearview.
Hana Megumi. Dealt with.
Kaya Parker. Dealt with.
Maki Megumi? I mean shit, I don’t think there’s a point in Maki Megumi’s life where she isn’t getting dealt with, if I’m being honest. But that’s besides the point.
What is the point is that there’s still one last head for me to hunt, and that’s Eden Sterling’s.
Jessi looks into the camera now as she continues.
Jessi Ozborne: Eden, it’s no secret that things have gotten intense between us, so much so that I bet you’re probably seething seeing me on your television screen right now. Which is why I got a proposition for you. Once you’re finished fulfilling someone’s hunger for destruction, how about you and me go one on one at BattleBorn? Then, once I get done collecting the last head that I need, and Blaze Darling beats the brakes off of your false prophet at Destiny, that Genesis is gonna turn into an Exodus. That’s not a threat, that’s a promise. And when the Queens promise, they damn well deliver. You’re fucking welcome.
Jessi takes off as we fade.
The audience attending the blue brand’s specialty deliverance of performances the world will always seek to enjoy. However, due to the recent drama and chaos surrounding the tag team champions, our number one contenders have announced on social media they would be attending the show as fans to see what the commotion is all about.
The camera does a wide angle capturing the various demographic of fans who paid for their tickets with their hard earned money or money earned from scamming on the side. On the other hand, a quick switch over to ringside shows Serenity Holmes and Livvie Nelson of Hungry for Destruction sat down in their best appearances pretending to enjoy the show. Serenity has a water bottle looking enthusiastic about the show but Livvie remains stoic, rude and blank enjoying a small bucket of her popcorn. The audience boos seeing them on the large screen and Livvie stands up getting annoyed but Serenity stands on the chair pulling out a microphone.
Serenity Holmes: Good night everyone! Welcome to Friday Night Fusion where Hungry for Destruction has made the blue brand of Zion Wrestling actually enjoyable again!
The audience boo’s even harder and Serenity laughs it off.
Serenity Holmes: The reason we’re here is simple. Last week on Friday Night Fusion in that very ring, I pinned one half of our Undisputed Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions. Our debut on Fusion was no less of an impact to send a message to The Nightmare and G.O.D. that H.F.D. are the new force that will change the entire tag team division. When we first came onto the scene, people thought we were a joke and now look at us, you can’t stand to see the sight of us anymore. It’s okay. Success brings out the worst in people and Orlando, you all are the worst!
Serenity hands the microphone to Livvie who throws the bucket of popcorn away and looks off to the camera while the audience continues to boo them.
Livvie Nelson: From the day Serenity and I first teamed up, it’s been apparent what our destiny is. We will continue to fight for what belongs to us until it’s in our hands!
Livvie takes a moment to stare intensely into the camera. Serenity, behind her, is waving her hands around her stomach gesturing they will be the new tag team champions.
Livvie Nelson: I don’t care if it’s Fusion, Mayhem, Wasteland or your brother’s house, mate. Hungry for Destruction is made to run this division!
Livvie’s tone and behavior increases in her aggression. Instead of staying behind the barricade, she hops over the barricade against security’s wishes and Serenity follows behind her throwing water on the security guard. Orlando is really not appreciating their behavior but the two contenders stand inside the ring with Livvie taking center stage and Serenity behind an annoying brat mouthing off to the fans.
Livvie Nelson: We are the GOD killers this company needs to pry those belts out of the hands of people who bow down to the false idols!
Serenity receives a microphone to let Livvie calm down. Nelson is pacing back and forth and Serenity stands in front of the ropes with the main camera zooming in on her.
Serenity Holmes: And right now, the false idols have our coveted tag team championships. Hana Kaneko, Eden Starling. We are done letting you walk around making a mockery of those belts. You’re too busy either getting into your drama with Jessi Ozborne or being berated by ISIS in your little G.O.D. Hungry for Destruction doesn’t waste their meals, we go on the hunt and I promise you that we are done waiting! So how about this, we came to your home turf and made you look like fools! We’re willing to grant YOU redemption!
Serenity pauses for a moment.
Serenity Holmes: March 25th on the special edition episode of Mayhem: Clarity! The Nightmare faces off against Hungry for Destruction for the Undisputed Zion Wrestling Tag Team Championships!!!
The audience explodes in a chorus of cheers and Livvie steps up right behind Serenity on the ropes to say the final word.
Livvie Nelson: We’re ready. Our time is coming...!
“Rise” by Divyded’s chorus shocks the arena when it smashes through the venue’s interior surround systems. Serenity and Livvie drop their microphones and mouth off to the camera together they are ready to become new tag team champions until leaving the ring to exit through the audience not paying them any attention.

RESULT: SUBMISSION (BLACKMAN’S BOUNTY)
Daria was out at the ringside area, out to promote her fight against Lukas later that evening, as she spoke to the crowd that she was starting to win back despite the heinous acts she had pulled.
Daria Dorsey
“The World Cup is going strong, and the Platinum League leads me into one of the only people undefeated so far… But, Lukas, I'll happily remind you why I'm undefeated in it as well. In fact…”
The video screen soon cuts to a live feed from Zurich, Switzerland, as the sold-out fans boo loudly, as front and center, sitting in a lavish-looking chair is none other than the Trillion Dollar Princess Angelica Matthews, the Swiss resident has the widest smile on her face. As the blonde rolls her eyes a bit, like she is hearing the negative response she is getting. The Former Zion Wrestling Champion soon takes a long sip of her appletini before placing it down. As her haughty tone soon fills the arena, as her brand new accent seems to shine through.
Angelica Matthews
“Daria, Daria, Daria you clearly are struggling here, unable to protect your business, the one you built through your blood, your sweat, and your tears. Through all that hard work, what happens? Your warehouses get robbed by a woman you thought you left in your rearview? How on earth did you not see that coming? That would have never happened to me why? Because people know what happens when I am crossed.”
Angelica said in a very sure-of-herself tone as she continued on.
Angelica Matthews
“However, you, Daria, see here the thing: For as good as you are doing in this little tournament, you have to understand that outside of the ring, this is another monster. Well, your investors, from what I heard, aren’t happy right now. They are baffled by how someone, one person, even could make it past your security. I mean, it’s rather embarrassing, don’t you think?”
Daria would make some annoyed gestures at Angelica, as there was no way she could actually address her, trying to not think too hard about Angelica and keep focus on the tournament.
Angelica Matthews
“It's so cute to see you struggling to maintain your composure, but here's the catch: I had no idea that would happen. So I had a word out of concern, and well, your investors wanted advice, and I gave them the best advice I could in your situation to protect their capital. What have I always told you I always get what I want, you thought this tournament could protect you?”
Angelica let a catty, bitchy laugh amused, as the feed was cut off. Daria is infuriated by the news, as she dropped the microphone in realization that she couldn't access anything. Her breathing became heavier, as she abruptly got out of the ring with a massive panic attack coming on. She runs back to the back, in obvious distress.
MATCH #4: DARIA DORSEY (4) VS LUKAS BAUELAIRE (4)
WORLD CUP PLATINUM LEAGUE MATCH
The opening bell rings as these two immediately lock up! As the usually most technically savvy person in any given match, Dorsey is caught by surprise as Baudelaire is able to immediately wrap her up with a Waistlock! He takes her to the mat with a Shoot Throw, before immediately continuing the hold on the mat! Dorsey continues to struggle, eventually making it to her feet and attempting to pry Baudelaire’s arms from around her waist! Baudelaire doesn’t let up however, dropping Dorsey with a German Suplex before she can get much headway in escaping! He bridges for the pin, with Dorsey kicking out at two!
Baudelaire pulls Dorsey to her feet, looking to get her in position for a Powerbomb! But Dorsey reverses, dropping Baudelaire with a Back Body Drop before catching him right across the jaw with a Superkick as he attempts to get up! Baudelaire once again attempts to make it to his feet, only for Dorsey to grab him and throw him into the corner! She mounts the second rope, nailing him over the head with a Punches before Baudelaire begins to reverse, getting her up for the Powerbomb! Dorsey reverses, resorting to the rare high-flying move as she takes Baudelaire down with a Hurricanrana! Baudelaire makes it back to his feet, only to be caught with a Dropkick! Baudelaire gets up again, this time looking to get the jump on Dorsey as he goes for a Clothesline! But Dorsey reverses, getting him into position and dropping him with a Ripcord Knee Strike! Pin by Dorsey, with Baudelaire kicking out at two!
Dorsey looks to finish this one off, waiting in the corner for Baudelaire to make it to his feet before going for her signature Knee Lift/Back Suplex combo! She nails the Knee Lift and looks for the Back Suplex…but Baudelaire lands on his feet off of it! He immediately backs into the ropes, before coming back towards Dorsey with The Death of Peace of Mind (Running Bicycle Knee Strike) that turns Dorsey inside out! Just like that, Baudelaire is on top of Dorsey, securing the three count and ending this one!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Lukas! Baudelaire!
Amber Westgate: As if Lukas Baudelaire couldn’t be considered threatening enough! He just put away a former World Heavyweight Champion with relative ease!
Adam LaRue: Daria Dorsey gave her best in this one, but it wasn’t enough for her to avoid that devastating Knee from Baudelaire!
Baudelaire stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND)
We see highlights from last week’s National Championship defense, namely the ending, as Valentina Skye clocks Nao Saegusa in the skull with the belt twice to become the new champion! Except not, as her illegal attack actually gets the result overturned, and Saegusa is declared to still be champion! We see Skye start another brutal attack on the champion only to be chased away by Xavier Amari!
We fade from that footage to find Nao Saegusa. She’s standing backstage, the National Championship still around her waist, and one hand gingerly rubbing the back of her head.
Nao Saegusa: My head IS killing me still, yea, thanks for asking!
That hand drops though, instead coming to rest on the National.
Nao Saegusa: And yet, here I remain, with this. There was a moment, through the intense pain in my skull, where I could comprehend the words being said. Her name being announced as champion. The…disappointment coming up inside of me along with that pain, that someone had managed to gain something that meant so much to me via means like that. It hurt. But then…the strangest thing happened. My own name was announced. For once, someone’s wrong action actually gets reversed? Their reward for what they did was taken away?
She reaches a hand up and pinches a few times at her cheek, noting she does indeed still seem to be where she is, she smiles.
Nao Saegusa: Well isn’t THAT something!
She takes a moment, tapping her chin unseriously.
Nao Saegusa: My, you’d almost think there actually could be a conspiracy against her…
She chuckles, shaking her aching head.
Nao Saegusa: But the reality is that isn’t the case at all. She just had the terrible luck of being the rare person to do something terrible and have something officially done about it. It does happen, it’s just so rare that it feels like it’s a once in a lifetime thing.
The amusement fades from her face.
Nao Saegusa: Not that that’ll matter to her of course.
She paces a bit, looking around the corridor she’s in as she does, wondering.
Nao Saegusa: I wonder how that mind of hers is taking that in. How raging mad she must be. Must be really stormy in there right now. And the excuses, my my. They must be flowing. But, let’s be fair and clear and open on a few things!
She stops her pacing, facing the camera with a deeply serious expression on that face.
Nao Saegusa: If you think you’re the rightful National Champion, you’re not. You tried to take this belt without actually earning it, and for once that was turned around and reversed. This belt wasn’t stolen from you, you tried to steal it, and you failed. You’re still not a champion in Zion like you yelled about deserving to be, and with how you’re showing yourself to be, you aren’t going to be anytime soon.
She takes a step forward, certain.
Nao Saegusa: Because you showed that I was right about you. I said that wrong actions like the ones you always take won’t last forever and that was proven. You could’ve tried to beat me with your own ability, but you knew you couldn’t, like I said. Succeeding in wrestling is about growing. You lose, you absorb what you did wrong and try to grow stronger and surpass yourself. If you can’t do that, you won’t actually grow, and if you don’t grow you’ll be left behind. And beneath all the yelling about…whatever, a part of you knows that. That’s why you rely so much on shortcuts and cheap shots and all of that. They’re to cover up that you know you’ve been left behind, and you don’t want to try and actually get stronger. As I said before, the person who defeated you was yourself. The moment you decided you weren’t good enough to beat me yourself and grabbed that belt, it was over. Not for my reign, but for your dreams of having the belt around your waist.
She steps back, allowing the camera to take in the full sight of her with the National around her waist.
Nao Saegusa: The reality is it’s still around mine, and so long as you refuse to actually change anything about yourself, it won’t ever be around yours.
She gives a shrug.
Nao Saegusa: I mean, maybe she’ll learn now, realize her actions never will produce anything lasting, anything satisfying, and change. But she won’t, right? I know that. I’m not dumb, not after dealing with everything I have. She’ll screech and cry and come for blood. Like she tried that night after realizing how she cost herself this belt. And even then, her actions went unrewarded, because someone chose to do the right thing.
Her expression softens.
Nao Saegusa: Xavier.
She bows her head in gratitude.
Nao Saegusa: You said no need for thanks, and yet you will receive them regardless. After all, it’s rare to see someone rush out to help another just from the goodness of their hearts. It was Heroic, and for that you have my thanks. Especially since it means I’m sure her eyes are on you too now. Facing her just a week after she failed like that, she must have some terrible things in mind to try and do to you. Oh dear.
A bit of a smile comes across her face.
Nao Saegusa: How fortunate that a Hero has to repay a kindness given, and ensure no one is hurt by someone’s raging actions, yes?
She reaches up and taps right next to her eye, her smile growing.
Nao Saegusa: So I’ll keep a close eye on what happens tonight. She won’t be happy, I’m sure we’re both aware, and I’m sure we’d both like to hope things will simply be normal but if not…well! Hopefully someone with a pair of eyes and sososo quick feet can help if she tries to be…well, herself!
She leans back against the wall behind her, not taking a seat just in case she needs to hurry off.
Nao Saegusa: So, let’s all enjoy the show and see what happens, hm?
With that, we cut away.
The scene starts with Valentina Skye, sitting down in one of the thrones that once belonged to Trinity. Her hair is disheveled with her eyes looking like she hasn’t slept at all. The events that happened to her, may have been her boiling point.
Valentina Skye: I had it….
She unfolds her palms that were folded and balls them up into a fist
Valentina Skye: I HAD THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WON!!!
Valentina stands up and gets out of the throne.
Valentina Skye: It was in my hands until the referees reversed a decision, leading to Xaiver Amari sticking his goddamn nose where it didn’t belong!
She gets more pissed off.
Valentina Skye: HOW DARE YOU! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU COME IN AND RUIN THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE! HOW DARE YOU RUIN A ACCOMPLISHMENT I WAITED FOR SINCE 2021!!
Valentina is losing her mind.
Valentina Skye: You are a LIFE RUINER XAVIER because just like EVERYONE here in Zion Wrestling, YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE ME SUCCEED!!!
Valentina kicks the throne over.
Valentina Skye: That’s OK, Xavier because tonight….
She begins to shake
Valentina Skye: ….is going to be the worst night of your life! Tonight, your blood is going to be on my hands…..and tonight, will the night that Zion PLANS your funeral arrangements!
Her eyes widened.
Valentina Skye: And when I am done, Nao, I am STILL going to be gunning for you and that championship! I knew you were in on this because Zion TOLD YOU to get Xavier out on me to pre-
Just then the cameras go bleep.
MATCH #5: VALENTINA SKYE VS XAVIER AMARI
Xavier went for a traditional lock-up with Valentina, but she avoided it, shaking her head no. It was clear that she wasn’t going to give him an easy chance at taking control if she could help it. He looked at her, shrugging before catching her with a snap suplex. Valentina scrambled back to her feet, an incredulous look on her face as she looked at Xavier. He gave her a little grin, but that only seemed to enrage her. Skye charged at Amari, going for a DDT, but he countered with one of his own! That only seemed to piss Valentina off more as she smacked the mat and pushed herself up to her feet. She caught Xavier with an eye poke, leaving her to be admonished by the referee. She rolled her eyes before going for a suplex, but he managed to keep her from executing the devastating move. He threw a few punches into her rib area, getting her to release him before nailing her with a short-arm lariat. He quickly backed up, waiting for her to start getting up before hitting Divine Smite and going for a quick pin!
ONE…!
TW-!!
NO! Valentina kicked out just before the two-count was made, frustrating Xavier! Both competitors got to their feet, although Valentina was a little slower to do so. Amari charged at her, but she dodged his attempt at a roundhouse kick before grabbing him for another suplex attempt. This time, she was able to execute the move and send him slamming down hard! She went for a standing moonsault, but he rolled out of the way, leaving her to have a miniature crash and burn moment. He pulled her up and threw her into the corner, nailing her with a back elbow after she slammed against the turnbuckle. Xavier lifted her onto the top of the corner, looking for a superplex, but she was able to shove him off, causing him to slam on the mat hard. She waited for him to get up before leaping off of the ropes, hitting him with a vicious DDT that left him dazed. From there, she hit Suns Out and went for a pin, using the ropes for a little extra leverage.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THR-!!!
Valentina’s feet got pushed off of the ropes causing her to release the pin! She quickly leapt to her feet and looked around, seeing Nao Saegusa standing there, shaking her head! Valentina shot towards the ropes, yelling at Nao that she had no right to interfere. The referee began looking between the two women with Nao holding her hands up in innocence. What Valentina didn’t notice was Xavier back on his feet and coming up behind her. He quickly grabbed her in a roll-up pin, and the referee began the count.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THREE…!!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Xavier! Amari!
Amber Westgate: Xavier Amari gets the win tonight with a little help from Nao Saegusa!
Adam LaRue: The conspiracy seems to continue for Valentina Skye here tonight!
Saegusa and Amari stand tall, with Skye looking about ready to snap on the outside of the ring as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLLUP)
In the dimly lit backstage area of the wrestling arena, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the legendary gunslinger of the ring, Charlie St Haven, prepared for her fifth career match. Dressed in her signature black leather attire, adorned with gleaming silver studs, she exuded an air of confidence and determination as she paced back and forth, her boots echoing against the concrete floor.
With a flick of her wrist, Charlie adjusted the brim of her stetson hat, the shadow casting a mysterious veil over her face. She paused in front of the camera, her piercing gaze locking onto the lens as she began to speak, her voice a mix of grit and determination.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: "This might be my fifth rodeo in ZION—"
Charlie began, her words carrying the weight of her experience in the ring.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: "—But the way I see it; every match is a new challenge, a new opportunity to prove myself. And tonight, I'm going in with all guns ablaze, ready for whatever Diamond Steele throws my way."
Her words were met with a ripple of excitement from the crowd, the anticipation building with each passing moment. Charlie's reputation as the last of the gunslingers had earned her respect and admiration from fans and foes alike, and tonight was no exception.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: “I've stared down some of the best opponents in the ZION ring as of late—"
Charlie continued, her voice steady and unwavering.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: “—But Diamond Steele ain't just any opponent. She's fierce, she's relentless, and she's hungry for victory. But so am I."
As she spoke, Charlie's hands tightened into fists, the fire of determination burning bright in her eyes. She was ready for the battle ahead, ready to face whatever challenges awaited her in the ring.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: “So tonight, Diamond Steele, you better bring everything you've got—"
Charlie declared, her voice echoing with conviction.
CHARLIE ST HAVEN: " —Because I ain't backing down, I ain't giving up, and I sure as hell ain't letting anyone stand in the way of my victory."
With a final nod to the camera, Charlie turned on her heel and strode off into the darkness, her presence lingering in the air like the echo of a gunshot. The stage was set, the gunslinger ready for battle, and the crowd roared with excitement as the countdown to the match began.
Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen please rise up for the return of Razzles Mars!!
Amber Westgate: I don’t believe it! I know it was mentioned earlier in the night that she would be here but is this really true?!
Adam Larue: I don’t know but this crowd is going crazy!
The crowd begins to go absolutely crazy as they begin to chant Razzles name over and over again.
RAZZLES!
RAZZLES!
RAZZLES!
A pulsing beat of light flickers the stage and the fans in hues of pink. It flashes, before the howling starting notes of "Strawberry Shake" by POP LEVI reverberate through the PA system.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The beat increases, as "Strawberry Shake" gets into its energetic beat. We see a figure excitedly rushes out past the velvet lined curtains, a lollipop's stick seen prodding from between her lips. She bounces on the stage, hands clapping in time with the beat, hyping up the crowd.
She pauses, some visible confusion on her face leading to that of DIAMOND who smirks as she is dressed as her best friend. The crowd begins to boo as Diamond skips to the ring with her space balls on her hair.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN standing at 54,000 of ROTTEN strawberries she is the OVERRATED, the LOSER, and the whiny RAZZLES LARD!!!!
She calls out excitedly from outside of the ring, undoing the attachments of her entrance jacket and skirt. She tries to collect a few high fives from the fans in attendance but receives boos in return. Diamond flicks her hair as she quickly slides into the ring and calls for a microphone.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: LOOK AT ME!!! MY NAME IS RAZZLE LARD!!! I AM NOT THE HERO YOU ALL MAKE ME TO BE! I am a big loser and I am out here to say that Diamond is just SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN ME! I know I was a weak champion. I owe it all to Diamond and after all she is truly raw cut. If she didn’t carry me and give me her madness number I might have been as dominant as Sofia Hilton’s entrant in this year’s Rumble! I mean only Diamond could be tough to win the Infinity match! Diamond carried me to a tag title. She carried me to feud of the year and my life wouldn’t be anywhere without her in it! I OWE EVERYTHING TO HER!!! Yet you people boo her!!!
The boos begin to get louder as the crowd roars Diamond sucks.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: She doesn’t suck! I am the one who sucks just like the big lollipop in my mouth, but then again I TOTES TAKE A LOT OF THINGS IN MY MOUTH AS WELL. Only Diamond is worthy enough to represent England in the World Cup and if it was me I would fall under the pressure. I mean I would just probably cut a promo using words like INNIT, KNACKERED, BLOODY, BOLLOCKS, POPPYCOCK, JUST TO SHOWCASE I AM BRITISH!!!!!! OMGoshie Diamond is a ture hero though. Whereas I left all of you and disappeared, I melted away like cotton candy that gets wet under Kate could have stood up to the pressure of Kara Carbajal when she took my title away. Only she went in there like a bad ass and actually gave a fuck but I bailed. I tucked my tail between my legs and I left all of you to hang and dry. Don’t boo Kate you need to boo me because I let ALL of you down!
The crowd flicks her off as Diamond runs her hands through her hair as she takes her space buns out and lets her hair dangle down her back.
”Razzles” DIAMOND: Honestly Rachelle Marsh doesn’t like anybody. She doesn’t like herself. If she did she would have answered my challenge but that won’t ever happen. She just came across like a big quitter. She lost her title and faded away into nothing never to be heard from again. I made her relevant again but mentioning her but obviously she doesn’t care about this business and she knows that I was one title away from being a Grand Slam Champion in this company. I am that big title away from making my mark in this company. I know things may not have happened in the way I wanted but at 5’2 and 110 pounds I will HAVE MY MOMENT. However before I go anyway I need to put the past firmly in my rearview and seeing as Fusion is where it all begun, it’s damn sure going to be where it all ends. It’s a fitting feet to bury her once and for all, and seeing that I like things as a big ordeal I think the Television special on March 29th is the best place to have a home going service for the beloved fan favourite. Say your goodbyes to Rock Candy because at the tv special I will present the funeral for Rachelle Marsh… Cheers and may all of you go fuck yourselves tonight…/
With that Diamond walks away to the sound of boos as the crowd flips her off. Before she can go far however, "Pet Semetary" by The Ramones begins to play, with Charlie St. Haven coming out through the curtain.
Amber Westgate: I looks like Charlie St. Haven isn’t gonna let Diamond get too far with her buffoonery!
Adam LaRue: We’ve got a World Cup Platinum League Match, and we’ve got it coming up right now! Strap in folks!
St. Haven ushers Diamond down to the ring, as she follows her down.
MATCH #6: CHARLIE ST. HAVEN (0) VS DIAMOND STEELE (0)
WORLD CUP PLATINUM LEAGUE MATCH
Both Diamond Steele and Charlie St. Haven had the same amount of points, zero. But neither of them were going to half ass their performances on this night, with Diamond and Charlie getting into a quick Collar and Elbow tie up with Haven getting the upper hand in the grappling exchange, pushing Diamond all the way back to the corner where a clean break was called. Charlie didn't break the hold clean, delivering a smack to the face of Diamond with a confident look on the face of Haven. Steele responded with a smack of her own, causing Haven to go back a couple steps. Diamond grabbed the head of Charlie, running up the ropes to swing around with a Tornado DDT! Diamond scrambled back to her feet, climbing to the top rope where she jumped off with a Double Stomp, but Haven moved out of the way causing Diamond to roll back to her feet. Charlie used this as an advantage to nail Diamond with a big SILVER BULLET out of nowhere! Diamond didn't go down, only going to a kneeling position, so Charlie nailed a SILVER BULLET II on Diamond, laying her out. Charlie went for the win early, going for the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Both women could tell that the match was in it's closing moments, both down on the mat due to Diamond Steele connecting with a big FLOAT OVER NECKBREAKER on Charlie St. Haven. Both got back to their feet at the same time, not wasting a second to go back onto the offense. Diamond nailed Charlie with a Pele Kick, sending Charlie back into the corner where she added onto that with a big Yakuza kick in the corner, Haven going down to a seated position in the corner. Steele noticed this, running to the opposite corner then came back with a huge Cannonball! Steele could feel the momentum going her way, getting Charlie back up where she attempted a Float Over DDT, Haven reversing that with a Spinebuster out of nowhere! Diamond immediately reversed with a Rollup, getting a two count from Haven. Diamond was slow to get back to her feet, staying on her hands and knees for just a second too long, allowing Haven to stomp the head of Steele into the mat with an ENTER THE DEAD ZONE! Haven got into the cover, hooking both legs of Steele.
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Charlie! St. Haven!
Amber Westgate: Diamond played too much with fire, and she just got burned! Charlie St. Haven wins, eliminating Diamond from this tournament!
Adam LaRue: Diamond becomes the first person tournament wide to not make enough points to qualify, still sitting at zero! The Last of the Gunslingers just shot down one person’s hopes to making it into the Destiny main event!
St. Haven celebrates as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (ENTER THE DEADZONE)
A previously recorded logo appears momentarily before the shaky image of Blaze Darling comes into view. You can hear her briefly arguing with the setup she has before she’s finally in perfect vision. She gives an exasperated smile and a wave, wearing a cute little cut up QOC t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts.
BLAZE DARLING: Hello, everybodyyyyyyyy! I don’t have a match tonight, but I wanted to at least say something. I’m not there… yet! But, I will be lurking later because who knows what kinda trouble is waiting in the shadows.
She takes a moment to wiggle her fingers at the camera for emphasis, before letting out a little laugh. But, her demeanor turns serious a moment later.
BLAZE DARLING: Kaya thought she could handle things on her own. Her darling new “sister” thought otherwise and stuck her nose where it doesn’t belong. Unfortunately for them, I’m a great person who does not hold grudges. But, I remember everything. Always.
BLAZE DARLING: So, tonight… I will be watching very closely! Because there’s bound to be some chaos regardless. Of course, my sister Yukiko has a match of her own tonight. I’m looking forward to watching every second of it. Believe me, I can handle the violence. Heck, I was in a pretty grueling match with some of my sisters before! So, this is nothin’.
The whole time, she’s not sitting still. She’s strolling along the dock. Dipping her toes into the water. Pacing along the shore. The view changes as Blaze can be seen resting along the shore, her head lifted towards the Heavens above, her palms resting in the sand and her fingers dug into the warm sand beneath her palms.
BLAZE DARLING: It's important for me to always support my fellow QOC sisters because they’ve never given up on me… and I’ve never given up on them. Even when others are in my ear. Even when people are constantly telling me I deserve better. There is a reason Jessi chose me and I can never let her down. Ever. Just the same for my sisters. So, if Yuki needs it? I will be there to help. Only if she needs it.
Blaze glances at the camera finally, waving her hand at the camera, before the scene slowly fades away.
Backstage the cameraman makes his way through the hallways. He approached a door which felt very warm to the touch, then a man pulled the door open looking at the man standing before him. Ruslan then adjusted his tie, looking at the cameraman. Kaya is heard cursing out in the background as Ruslan pulled the door shut.
Ruslan Lucic: sometimes my pupil tends to forget who she is, and how people affect her so. My case in point, last week Yukiko Kusanagi, you made sure the distraction my pupil had turned against her. She tends to not forget this, and I've told her that her pain is needed to focus her, giving her the strength that she will need to defeat every person in her way.
Kaya rips the door open her hair in a mess as she looked at the cameraman smirking. She holds up a rose for him as she turned to Ruslan nodding. She then waited.
Ruslan Lucic: See that right there is a symbol of her hatred, also her mercy when she comes. The Poisoned Rose will—-
She then steps in front of him as she smiled.
“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: not be afraid of the devil. 悪魔は私を恐れる必要があります。毒の薔薇はすぐに会うでしょう、雌犬。心配しないでください、あなたの人生には意味があるでしょう. See you soon.
Kaya smirked as she looked at the cameraman still holding the rose as she begins to walk, not turning back with Ruslan at her back.
“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: Dracarys. Mommy is sorry.
The rose burst into flames as the cameraman threw the rose down on fire. She laughed as she looked over her shoulder and her eyes were grey.
“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: I'm here.
The cameraman runs off as Lucic looks at Desdemona.
Amber Westgate: Tonight has been exciting so far, but next week is set to have some bangers on it as well! Fusion 119 comes to you live from the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., as we kick things off with Platinum League action!
Adam LaRue: Starting the night, the undefeated Lukas Baudelaire goes up against the undeterrable Isabella Rossi. Daria Dorsey looks to pick herself back up, while Diamond Steele looks to just gain some points in this tournament. Finishing off the action for the week, Charlie St. Haven and Yumi Akiyama fight to survive once again as they go one-on-one!
Amber Westgate: Kaya Parker has been running rampant with her Gateway Championship in tow! But how will fare against someone just as chaotic? Next week, she goes one-on-one with Samuel Lopez, with the Gateway Championship on the line!
Adam LaRue: Ravenna Rojas has been out for revenge for weeks now, and it seems as though Zion management have finally given it to her! Ravenna Rojas takes on Sofia Hilton next week one-on-one!
Amber Westgate: And starting off the night, Nadia Allen made a challenge to Gianna Rojas for her Viral Championship! Rojas accepted, but management wants to make sure that Allen earns it! She steps into the ring against a former Viral Championship in her own right, in fact, the very FIRST Viral Champion! Nadia Allen takes on Jordan Majors in the main event! All that and more next week on Fusion!

QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: And it is for the Zion Wrestling QUEEN! OF STRONG STYLE! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Vincent Moretto's cover of Yakuza 0's "Pledge of Demon" comes on over the PA system with its grueling guitar riff and thunderous drums, sending the crowd into a mixed reaction. Some cheer with bloodlust, others boo in disdain. The rest of the lights go out, leaving the audience shrouded in darkness as an eerie purple light illuminates the ring itself. The stage and ramp are lit up with plain white lights, violently flashing in sync with the music. As the music swells, the lights take on a more intense flashing, adding a purple hue among the whites. The crowd waits in anticipation as smoke fills the entryway as the music flows from the speakers, assaulting the ears of those present. The camera focuses intently on the entryway as the inner lights come on and, combined with the smoke, give off an almost ethereal, heavenly appearance. The video wall is alight with the visage of the Queens of Chaos logo and the name “草由紀子."
The wall of light within the entryway is disturbed by the visage of a black silhouette, soon coming into view to reveal Yukiko Kusanagi. Sleeveless robe over her gear, with her hood drawn up over her hood. We see her eyes though are, as always, cold and utterly hateful towards everyone present as they peer out over her black face mask. Her eyes then shift down the ramp and aim directly to the ring. Her battleground. Angel holds her position on the stage throughout the chorus and when the second verse begins, she shifts forward and begins her walk down the ramp. She completely ignores the fans in the front row, throwing jeers and boos at her. That which she sees as nothing more than scum beneath her. Angel moves methodically but with a sense of purpose as she approaches the ring. As she reaches the ring, she circles around to the opposite side of where she approached and stands on the apron, turning her head to sneer towards the fans again. Despite the sour attitude she gives off, she wipes her feet on the apron before entering the ring through the top and middle ropes at the return of the chorus.
She comes to stand in the center of the ring, continuing to just glare hatefully at any and everyone. One hand comes up to unclasp the buckle on her coat before he peels the hood back and slides the garment off of her body, dropping it to the floor for the ringside attendant to take while she goes to her corner and uses the ropes to get some stretching in. Finally, she turns towards the ramp with that ever hateful expression and calmly waits for the match to begin.
Maki Megumi walks out full of confidence after "Hell In Glass" is played over the entire arena and the arena lights turn red. But Maki didn't seem to care that much before she stopped at the titantron area before spreading her arms and looking up into the sky as fireworks were set off on the entrance ramp and into the arena. As Maki heads into the ring without caring about the fans, Maki steps into the ring with confidence. before she enters her corner or stares at the opponent's face with her eyes that cannot be guessed by her psychological psychology in order to make the opponent feel scared.
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first, the challenger…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Osaka, Japan…weighing in at 125 lbs…Yukiko! Kusanagi!

Amber Westgate: Another chapter marked in the long standing rivalry between these two! Maki Megumi has yet to defeat Yukiko Kusanagi in singles action, could tonight be the night that all changes?
Adam LaRue: I have a feeling it has to be, Amber! The weight of the world is on Maki Megumi’s shoulders to not only hold onto the Queen of Strong Style Championship, not only to keep the title in the Genesis of Destruction, but to ALSO make sure it doesn’t end up back within the Queens of Chaos!
Kusanagi smirks while she keeps her eyes on Megumi while Megumi is shaking her head as the referee hands the Queens of Strong Style title to the timekeeper before the referee rings the bell!
