As the cameras fade into the arena as the shows opening continues to play in the background, the camera begins to pan around the sold out Zion Stadium in Orlando, Florida. As the scene goes to ringside we are quickly interrupted by a familiar tune.
As the signature opening guitar riff of “Zombie” by The Cranberries begins to play and the Wasteland General Manager, Oliver Peters, begins to make his way out to the stage! The former National Champion has a microphone in his hand, and begins to speak.
Oliver Peters: Hello there, Orlando! How are we all doing tonight?
The crowd reacts positively, and Oliver gets a smile on his face as he continues to speak.
Oliver Peters: So, I promise I won't take up too much of your time here tonight... I just wanted to come to you all with some news.
The crowd "oohs" and "aahs", wondering what Olly might be talking about.
Oliver Peters: As you are all aware, the reigning Gateway Champion Kaya Parker-...
The crowd boo at the mention of her name, which Oliver smiles about.
Oliver Peters: I know, I know... but she has made it crystal clear that once she reaches the threshold, she will be cashing in the championship. So... with that date coming up... all the Zion GM's got together and we decided that once she does, to crown a new championship... we will be hold a battle royal for the vacant championship!
The crowd really like this idea, and begin to cheer. Oliver quiets them down and continues speaking.
Oliver Peters: On top of all that... what we are also doing... is that we will open up five additional slots in the battle royal for people representing our affiliates, and that participants for the match will be announced throughout the next week! Alright, thats enough of your time taken away, please enjoy the show!
But before he can walk away, "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift begins playing throughout the Zion Stadium and “Classy” Bianca Page emerges from the entrance way to a chorus of boos. As Bianca stands at the beginning of the aisle she has a smug smile on her face. She begins walking down the aisle, brushing past Oliver Peters who is not happy at all at her interruption, and lifts a microphone up with her right hand.
“Classy” Bianca Page: I hope you don’t mind. I picked up a microphone from Monday Night Mayhem because I didn’t want to have to speak into something that all of you Wastelanders speak into. Have you heard you guys speak? So stupid!
The crowd boos Bianca and there are people in the crowd flipping her off.
“Classy” Bianca Page:(Chuckling)Your deluded hate only makes me stronger. I do love how I can affect your pathetic lives just by being real.
Bianca strolls around ringside.
“Classy” Bianca Page: As to why I am here tonight. Your welcome Wasteland management for the ratings bump. I am here because ever since Tot for brains cost me the Internet Championship for not once but the second time I felt the need to show and make his pathetic life even more miserable than it already is. Think of this as kicking somebody while they are down. As it was said so many years ago, it is easier to kick someone while they are down because they are easier to reach. Which is why I am going to kick the ever loving piss out of Taterhead.
Bianca arrives at a seat at ringside behind the barricade.
“Classy” Bianca Page: We all saw that I paid Tots a visit one week ago and I even went to the garbage dump that Tots calls home in Goat City. That place is seriously disgusting. Even for the low standards that Floridians have. As far as tonight though I am here to see how Tots does in a match and you’re welcome for announcing my arrival tonight, Tots. You might not be so lucky everytime.
Bianca tosses the microphone to a ring attendant before sitting down in her seat.
OPENING CONTEST TATER vs Yoel Michael Carl Anderson
As the bell rings, TATER wastes no time unleashing a relentless onslaught of offense. He floored YMCA with a thunderous belly-to-belly suplex, setting the tone for the match. With YMCA reeling, TATER followed up with a couple of dropkicks, keeping his opponent off balance. Despite YMCA's valiant efforts to fight back with furious punches, TATER remained in control, hitting a beautiful powerslam. YMCA scrambled back to his feet though it was evident that he was feeling the continuous onslaught from TATER. YMCA went for a kick to TATER’s knee, but TATER dodged it and nailed YMCA with another belly-to-belly suplex.
Undeterred, YMCA summoned his strength and managed to mount a brief comeback, landing a couple of solid punches and a well-timed dropkick. But TATER quickly regained the momentum, countering YMCA's offense with a devastating release German suplex, rattling his opponent to the core. Sensing victory within reach, TATER hoists YMCA up with ease, executing the MASHER-BOMB, driving YMCA into the mat with incredible force. The crowd erupts as TATER makes the cover, the referee sliding to the mat to make the count.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THREE…!!!
After the bell rang, TATER helped YMCA to his feet in a sign of respect. Once he was steady on his feet, YMCA looked at TATER then the fans and started doing the Y.M.C.A. dance, egging TATER on as he did. TATER watched him for a minute as the fans cheered loudly, chanting for TATER to join in. As the music started up, TATER gave everyone a grin before starting to move with YMCA. Finally, after a little more egging on, TATER fully got into the dance, hitting the moves on time with his former opponent.
WINNER: TATER

The three walk off, ready to go to work.
MATCH TWO Las Olvidadas vs The Dozers
Taza starts things off as she steps into the ring with Bull Dozer, who seems to think he’s got the much smaller Shieldmaiden’s number! He couldn’t be any more wrong however, with Taza getting around him and applying a Waistlock with ease! She doubles down, taking him to the mat with a Shoot Throw before transitioning seamlessly into a Grounded Front Facelock! Bull looks to pull himself back to his feet to escape! But Taza cuts it off, clinching the head before nailing him in the face with a Knee Strike! She quickly follows up on the opening, getting Bull up before dropping him with a Brainbuster! Pin by Taza, but a kick out at two! Despite being an unskilled enhancement talent, it’s still gonna take a bit more to put away the big man!
Taza decides to do that little bit more, tagging in Sangre before getting Bull into a Hangman’s Neckbreaker position! Sangre leaps off the top rope, connecting with the Frog Splash as Taza hits the Neckbreaker! Just then Bill Dozer gets himself involved, looking to cut off Sangre’s momentum before she can cause Bull any more damage! This backfires on him however, with Taza grabbing him and throwing him out of the ring through the ropes! She hits the ropes now, taking Bill down with a Suicide Dive before immediately hopping back onto the apron! Sangre makes the tag, with the two connecting with F.T.R. (Discus Clothesline Hart Attack)! Taza goes for the pin, scoring the victory for her team!
The wasteland cameras find themselves backstage at this time. We are moments away from the next match of the card and who does the camera find siting on a storage crate kicking her legs innocently, Cosmic Tora Onna. She is sat in her ring gear, her cloak hanging freely. She is humming away to herself in her own little world until someone approaches her...
Melania Rodrigo: CTO, CTO!! Can I get a few words with you before you compete tonight?
Melania Rodrigo thrusts the microphone in front of CTO which startles her, this causes her to roll back and fall off the crate.
CTO: OW!! That hurt...
There is a momentary pause and we se the masked head of CTO rise up from behind the crate with a slight scowl on her face... That son changed when she saw Melania however and leapt onto the crate with a roll so she was seated once again onto it.
CTO: Oh hey! I haven't seen you for a while, what brings you to my neck of the woods? Thats a saying by the way.
Melania pauses a moment before smiling and raising her stick that talks to the world.
Melania Rodrigo: Cosmic, it is great to see you. But you know why I am here right? You're booked to go out there and compete against Trey Wilde again and...
CTO: Wait... I am?! I thought I already beat him? I mean i trained very very hard, listened to epic music an everything!![/]
Melania Rodrigo: Yes, you did face him before. But that is sometimes how it goes, maybe he requested to face you again and...
CTO's eyes beam with happiness when she heard that.
CTO: You mean he wants to be friends?
Melania Rodrigo: I don't know about that, not everyone wants to be friends with you CTO.
CTO: Why not?
Melania didn't answer, she only shrugged her shoulders to the masked talent.
Melania Rodrigo: Either way, i think you should focus on the match not whether he wants to be friends or not. You can't afford any distractions.
CTO: Really? Focus on the match?
Melania Rodrigo: Yes! You're here to wrestle after all aren't you? Focus on the match and answer my question. How do you feel about tonight's match, are you ready?
CTO: Oh I don't know... It's just another match to me really. I've already beaten Trey once, so I think I can do it again unless he has been training a lot more since we last stood in the ring together. Hmm i'm hungry, do you have any food?
Melania shook her head telling CTO no she did not have any. CTO looked a little sad upon seeing that.
CTO: Right i guess i should get going, i need to beat Trey so I can find some food afterwards. I was always told don't eat before a match after all!
CTO looks to the camera and waves with both hands before leaping of the crate and skipping away to take part in her match. Melania Rodrigo just shaking her head with a laugh...
MATCH THREE Cosmic Tora Onna vs Trey Wilde
Cosmic Tora Onna wasted no time, springing into action with springboard hurricanrana, taking Trey down with force. Trey hurried back to his feet, looking for a Capoeira kick, but Cosmic ducked under it. She came back at Wilde, hitting him with a dropkick that sent him stumbling into the corner. She was quick on her feet and ran at the ropes, launching herself off of them. Onna nailed Wilde with a springboard dropkick. From there, she hit a beautiful clothesline and followed up with a ferocious spear! Cosmic went for a springboard moonsault, but Wilde got his knees up just in time!
He slowly got to his feet again as she rolled away, taking a few deep breaths as he did. Trey unleashed a running blockbuster followed up with a bottom rope springboard stunner, but Cosmic Tora Onna refused to back down, answering with a super kick then a vicious springboard crossbody. Trey managed to get back to his feet and went for a brainbuster, but Cosmic Tora Onna seized the opportunity to lock in the Black Hole Vice, trapping Trey with the move. Despite Trey's valiant struggle, the pain becomes too much to bear, and he is forced to submit, handing Cosmic Tora Onna a hard-fought victory.
MATCH FOUR Charlie St. Haven vs Jessica Carter
The bell sounded, and Charlie immediately hit Jessica with a vicious roundhouse kick. The kick left Carter reeling, but St. Haven didn’t stop there. She followed up with a running big boot, leveling the other woman. Carter pulled herself up and ran at St. Haven, but she was met with a hard knee strike to her abdomen for her troubles! Carter managed to pull herself upright only to be met with a Lou Thesz! Charlie threw several punches to Carter’s face before Jessica was finally able to shove her off. Jessica went for a spinning heel kick, but Charlie ducked under it and nailed Carter with a spin kick that took her down to the mat. Charlie pulled Jessica up and whipped her into the corner, putting as much force behind it as she could so that Carter hit hard. She backed up before taking off towards the corner, hitting the Silver Bullet! Jessica stumbled out of the corner, visibly reeling from the big boot, but Charlie didn’t back down! She hit a vicious The Cult Classic Impact before pinning Jessica.
ONE…!
TWO…!!
THREE…!!!
WINNER: Charlie St. Haven
MATCH FIVE Schadenfreude vs Reaper Crisis
Crybaby: *The following contest is a tag team match, set for one fall! *
* Introducing first, the team of Werner and Dietrich Kühn, Schadenfreude!*
*Introducing next, the team of Jesse Bennet and Kevin Hunter, Reaper Crisis!*
The legal competitors in this match were established as Werner Kühn and Kevin Hunter, but a wild brawl between Schadenfreude and Reaper Crisis kicked off the match! Jesse and Dietrich going back and forth at the same time as Werner and Kevin. The two teams brawled to the outside of the ring where it was an equal fight for the most part. Reaper Crisis seemed to get the upper hand with Jesse had whipped Dietrich into the barricade at the same time as Kevin whipping Werner into the steel steps. Reaper Crisis went over for team high five then Kevin got Werner back into the ring to prevent a double countout from happening.
Kevin was on top of things when Werner got back to his feet, connecting with a Scoop Slam to bring him down to the mat followed by running back to the ropes, coming back with an Elbow Drop to keep the damage coming to the legal Kühn. Hunter went over and tagged in Bennett, looking for some tag team offense to keep the match going. Werner was whipped into the corner with both members of Reaper Crisis in position to connect with Killshot! The offense from Reaper Crisis didn't stop there, as Hunter got Werner back to his feet where they set Kühn up for Hellacious Warfare! The legal Kevin Hunter went for the cover to put the tag match away!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Broken up by Dietrich! The match continues with Kevin Hunter getting back in the ring to try to take care of Dietrick Kühn, but used his position to pull the ropes down to send Hunter out of the ring first. Dietrich measured his position and grabbed onto the ropes to perform a Springboard Frog Splash to the outside right onto the body of Kevin Hunter! Inside the ring, Werner Kühn made his way back to his feet with the help of Jesse Bennett, the two of them exchanging European Uppercuts back and forth until Werner got the upper hand with a sudden Forearm Smash followed by a Snap DDT! Werner got Bennett back to his feet where he connected with multiple Forearm Smashes to back him into the Schadenfreude corner and tag Dietrich into the match.
Schadenfreude now had their turn to show off some of their tag team offense, and with Kevin Hunter out of the way it was going to be hard to stop them with Jesse Bennett stunned in the corner. Dietrich connected with a big Spinebuster on Jesse, followed by Werner running the ropes to come back with a Penalty Kick to the chest. Werner got back on the apron at the same time as Hunter while the action continued on with Dietrich raining down boots to the midsection of Bennett. Dietrich then got Jesse back to his feet, whipping him to the ropes but got reversed with a big Clothesline to bring both men down! Jesse crawls to his corner, looking for a tag but Werner pulled Kevin off of the apron at the last second, throwing him into the steps! Dietrich took advantage of Bennett having his attention on this altercation to flatten him with a Clothesline to the back, then tagged in Werner who got back to the apron. Werner picked Jesse up into a Powerbomb, with Dietrich following up with an European Uppercut from the middle rope! LANG LEBE SCHADENFREUDE connects! The legal man goes into the cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Crybaby: *Here are your winners, Schadenfreude!*
WINNERS: Scadenfreude
Heidi Krauss applauds the performance from her husband and brother-in-law before she takes two microphones and makes her way up the steel steps and climbs through the ropes. Moving to stand between the two men, she poses briefly before handing the microphones to both Dietrich and Werner as Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5” cuts out and Werner brings the microphone up to his lips as he breathes heavily from the match he and his brother just won.
Werner Kühn: This… this is what Deutsche Exzellenz looks like!
He pauses as he tries to catch his breath as he points down to their fallen opponents.
Werner Kühn: How many more times do we have to defeat… Ungeziefer… like this… before we get what we deserve?!
Werner’s expression turns to one of disgust.
Werner Kühn: Last week, I posted on social media about how minus the cheap victory that the Tag Team Champions stole from us! That mein Bruder und ich are undefeated since our debut here in Zion!
Dietrich nods as he now lifts the microphone to his lips as the trio turn their attention to the stage.
Dietrich Kühn: So Frau Gibson und Frau Collins? We officially challenge you… nein… we demand a rematch against you for those Tag Team Championships… at Zion’s Destiny III Besondere Veranstaltung! Und we would very much appreciate it if you did not waste our time and give us an answer right now!
But they get no answer from Thotline, instead... they get an answer from none other than Wasteland General Manager, Oliver Peters.
Oliver Peters: Gentlemen. You're right! You have been nothing short of perfect in your time on Wasteland thus far... and you know what? You're right. You are deserving of another opportunity at the Wasteland Tag Team Championships... so I'm gonna make it official for you... right here... right now! It will be you, Dietrich and Werner Kuhn... against Thotline Miami at Destiny III for the Wasteland Tag Team Championships! Now... if you could ever so kindly... please... get the fuck out of my ring.
"Zombie" begins to play once more as Oliver makes his exit, as do Schadenfreude moments later.

Gauntlet Match 1: MUD vs Aiden Garcia
Things start off wildly right out of the gate here.

Reluctantly, Filth decides to help Slayton to her feet, yelling for her to shake off the cobwebs so she can give her a fair fight!

Slayton uses this to her advantage however, jumping to the second rope and looking for a Springboard Crossbody! Filth rejects this however, nailing Slayton right out of the midair with a Knee Strike! Slayton falls still to the mat, with Filth going for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Shoulder up by Slayton right before three! Filth believes to have Slayton right where she wants her, getting her to her feet and looking for her signature Ripcord Knee! She getting the ripcord going, Slayton is the one who pulls her in, getting her in position before dropping her with Welcome to the Wasteland!! She isn’t finished however, getting Filth up before connecting with a second Welcome to the Wasteland! Pin by Slayton!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
WINNER: Melody Slayton
Slayton slowly rises to her feet off the pin, having her hand raised by the official! She begins to celebrate, until “O Fortuna” by Carl Orff begins to hit the speakers! Slayton’s head slowly turns up the ramp, as the Wasteland Champion VLADISLAV lumbers his way to the ring in a dapper suit, and the title he initially had beaten her for draped over his broad shoulder. He climbs into the ring, coming face to face with a worn out Slayton! He stares stoically into the eyes of his Destiny III challenger, the two coming face-to-face as we fade to black for the night!
