OPENING CONTEST Jenna Sharpe vs Jessica Carter
Jenna dodged a spinning heel kick attempt from Jessica, catching her with a vicious dragon screw leg whip, shaking her head at the other woman. She snatched her up for a back-to-belly suplex, sending her flying upon the release. Jenna was quick to get back on her feet, clocking Jessica with a discus clothesline that sent her falling back to the mat again. Jenna grabbed a handful of Jessica’s hair, ignoring the referee as she pulled her up to a standing position. She backed up a bit before coming at her with a superkick, nailing her square on the chin. Carter dropped again, and the crowd cheered loudly for Jenna. She grabbed Carter up again then ran at the ropes, hitting a ferocious Sharpe-nado! Carter was left reeling before Sharpe scooped her up for a Michinoku Driver, slamming her down hard! The referee slid to the mat as Jenna pinned Jessica.

WINNER: Jenna Sharpe
The buzz in the arena is electric tonight with Destiny Three drawing ever closer. There was still a lot for talent to look forward to when it came to their spot on the card if that were even happening, and that included the two women we now find standing next to each other once the Wasteland cameras made their way through the backstage area near gorilla. The two women of course are Risa Lemon and Cosmic Tora Onna. Torra is sat on a crate of some kind while Risa is leaning against another, both women are talking to each other in Japanese briefly before noticing the camera. Both women are also wearing matching colours for the night since they would be teaming together. There is an echo from the crowds’ cheers not too far from them once they appear on the screen in the arena.
Both women look at the camera, Risa Lemon motions for CTO go first, but the plucky young, masked woman respectfully shakes her head giving the floor to Risa first, but she insists Tora does instead which she humbly accepts with a bow to Risa and with a wave to the camera...
Cosmic Tora Onna: Hey everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the show and hopefully even more with my match with Risa-Chan here against the Gemstones in a short moment’s time... But before we head out there, I would like to talk a little about last week with my match against Trey of the Wildes... It was the second time we faced off together and to be perfectly honest I wish to thank him for bringing out the very best in me so much so, it earned me my very first submission victory and third straight victory here in the Wasteland!!
CTO nods excitedly with a grin under her mask while she claps her hands together proudly.
Cosmic Tora Onna: But with that said I cannot rest on my laurels as Risa-chan tells me with her infinite wisdom... My career in The Wasteland has had a promising start so far and tonight I hope is of no difference where I… no WE can earn a win together as a tag team…
Risa grins to the camera with Cosmic Tora grinning as well, the eagerness to compete as a team is evident on their faces and with their body language.
Cosmic Tora Onna: This is such an incredible moment for me, I do not know where to begin with how I feel…
CTO pauses a moment to gather her thoughts, she lets forth a sigh and smiles…
Cosmic Tora Onna: A while ago as you all know if you follow me on X marks the Spot, I X’d? Exited? I posted something of a request! I asked the universe of wrestling who would like to team with me!! I was worried that no one would want to… Aris told me as much that the odds are slim because I was new to the company…
Cosmic lowered her head for a moment for dramatic effect.
Cosmic Tora Onna: But then fortune found me! The universe answered and I had many people message me wanting to team with me! Lots of possible friends to be had, but I had one condition and that was they would have to compete and team with me here in the Wasteland… In Zion which many were unable to do… Which is when Mrs Risa here talked with me! I was nervous because we spoke only on X to begin with… While she was very nice to me, I could see she is in a big group too and so very talented!! More than me…
Tora looked to Risa and smiled as she spoke sincerely.
Cosmic Tora Onna: But as we spoke, I learned more about her and the more I learned the more I liked! For example, I had no idea that Risa-Chan wore a mask like my own, it showed me just how vast the universe is and how far reaching this iconic symbol really is and dare I say it had to be Destiny for us to meet?
Cosmic nodded with a grin and a slight giggle.
Cosmic Tora Onna: Risa-Chan has offered to take me under her wing, train me and show me what tag team wrestling is all about. Sitting here getting ready to go out there and compete with her, well I am both honoured and excited to do just this tonight and forever long we decided to team together. I know tonight will not be easy, we face the Gemstones who are a rock band, and that tells me two things. They are experienced working together and that they like to make music. I know that our opponents have done enough in the past to challenge for tag team titles here in Zion with little success.
Cosmic nods confidently while looking to Risa before the camera.
Cosmic Tora Onna: But while Risa-chan and I lack experience as a team, I know how to compete inside that ring. I have three singles victories so far and with Risa-chan here in my corner I know I can turn those into tag team victories as well! Which is what we intend to start doing tonight, when we face The Gemstones and make our own music together before getting the big one, two three, victory!!
Cosmic grins once more while throwing her arms up excitedly before jumping down and heading off towards Gorilla, Risa however grabs Cosmic shoulder and speaks to her finally…
Risa Lemon: Remember Tora-chan, tonight we are a team. We've trained for this. Practiced for many hours!
The Queen of Bows grinned, patting CTO on the shoulder.
Risa Lemon: With my tag team experience and your undeniable talent, we have a really good shot at picking up a win tonight, but it is not going to be easy. The Gems have been a team a long time! So just remember...
She smiles softly, taking Tora's hands in hers.
Risa Lemon: Stay calm. Rely on me as I will rely on you. Watch each other's backs. We can do this!
She releases the younger woman's hand, turning to the camera.
Risa Lemon: Ever growing. Always changing. Constantly evolving! Risa Lemon and Cosmic Tora Onna Resu! GOOOOO!!!
Both women nod to the other before walking off camera and the picture fades to black.
MATCH TWO KC Ward vs Crystal Caldwell
The match kicked off with Crystal flaunting her agility, unleashing a breathtaking Springboard Moonsault that had the crowd on their feet. KC countered with a series of hard-hitting strikes, driving Crystal back with a barrage of straight jabs to the other woman’s body. As the momentum shifted, Crystal attempted to take control with a Tiltawhirl Armdrag, but KC swiftly evaded, retaliating with a devastating Blue Thunder Bomb that sent shockwaves through the arena. Caldwell was left stunned and dazed, but she was quick to shake it off, not wanting to give Ward any extra time if she could help it. Ward came after Caldwell again, but Crystal managed to get a quick small package in though KC kicked out of it before the referee could even drop down to make a count.
This led Crystal to fight back with every ounce of her determination, executing a dazzling sequence of a hurricanrana followed up by an enzuigiri. This left Ward reeling for a few brief moments, leaving Caldwell to think she was getting the upper hand. Crystal went for a springboard DDT, but Ward managed to evade the move, leaving Crystal to crash and burn. Ward grabbed her up before executing a beautiful exploder suplex. KC then hoisted Crystal onto her shoulders and delivered the awe-inspiring Nintendo Powerbomb, planting her opponent into the canvas with thunderous force. The referee slid down to the mat to make the pin count as KC pinned Crystal.

THREE…!!!
We see Sayge and Cereza de Cobre backstage with some street tacos in catering, as neither were booked. Sayge would exhale a bit from her's and commented to her.
Sayge Gonzalez
“Damn, you really put the heat on your's…”
She would get a drink, as the luchadora chuckled a bit, quipping at her.
Cabeza de Cobre
“Hehe… skill issue.”
She says, before handing Sayge a napkin, as Sayge dabbed some of the sauce off her lip.
Cabeza de Cobre
“Mi receta familiar. You've handled it better than the others…”
She said, as you could see a shot of Sterling Jamison White in the distance almost glowing red and breaking out into a sweat at the side.
Sayge Gonzalez
“You've been learning English so quickly! I'm really proud of you.”
Cabeza de Cobre
“I've been trying. It was a lot easier for my little brother. He would just watch cartoons and learn from there. I'm glad you've been helping me…”
She said, giving Sayge a brief hug, grateful for the opportunity.
Sayge Gonzalez
“Don't mention it. And don't tell them I do nice things, then they'll expect it.”
Cabeza would smile a bit, before backing away and nodding.
Cabeza de Cobre
“Of course. Let me help you, too… You need a partner? Let's work together, Sayge.”
Sayge Gonzalez
“I don't know… Me working without Austin feels wrong. She's my best friend, and it feels like I'm betraying her working with someone else.”
Cabeza de Cobre
“Austin no querria que paseras especially por tu cabeza. No es tu culpa.”
She stated in her native tongue, to place a hand on Sayge's shoulder.
Cabeza de Cobre
“I want to be your friend, too. And I want to help.”
Sayge sighed, as she looked at her hand, then the masked face of the other woman.
Sayge Gonzalez
“Maybe… but, I don't know. I guess it's better than wasting away backstage. Okay, let's talk to the boss and see if we can get some work.”
She said, with Cabeza nodding and the two heading to the office to talk about a match.
MATCH THREE Cosmic Tora Onna and Risa Lemon vs The Gemstones
This highly-anticipated tag team match ignites with a flurry of fast-paced action, with Risa showcasing her lightning-quick strikes, landing knife-edged chops and spinning back fists, keeping Ruby on her toes. Ruby though responds, keeping Risa at bay with a well-timed dropkick and immediately takes her back down again with a well-executed Japanese arm drag. Ruby takes to the ropes, going for a Lionsault and as she does so, Sapphire makes a blind tag. However, Risa has the wherewithal to bring her knees up as Ruby crashes and burns.
Seeing Sapphire making a beeline for her, Risa athletically back-rolls towards her corner, making the tag to CTO who leaps effortlessly into the ring. She catches Sapphire coming in who attempts a flying forearm. CTO ducks underneath, catching Sapphire in the jaw with a lightning-fast crescent hook kick. The two go back-and-forth, exchanging rapid counters and impressive offense before Sapphire manages to gain the advantage with an impressive enziguri-dropsault transition combo!
As the match progresses, the momentum swings back and forth between the two teams, with several tags being made and both teams gaining fleeting advantages with their high-flying skills and lighting-fast movements. The Gem Stones employ some synchronized offense, keeping CTO grounded with a series of double suplexes. However CTO doesn’t stay down for long and counters an attempted back body drop attempt by leaping out onto the apron and taking a double springboard dropkick before making the hot tag to Risa!
Risa takes out Sapphire with the Lemon Zest ripcord knee strike, sending her out to the floor. Ruby, the other legal woman, comes in off the top rope with a beautiful Meteora, gaining a nearfall after a pin attempt. Risa rebounds though and catches Ruby with the Kyoto Catastrophe after a mistimed dropkick attempt.
Risa ascends the turnbuckle, soaring through the air with unparalleled grace, and connects with her Flight of the Tiger MK 1 rotating frog splash. She hooks the leg as the referee counts

MATCH FOUR Charlie St. Haven vs Lee Kincade
Charlie wasted no time in showcasing her lightning-fast agility, peppering Lee with a barrage of kicks, including a Switchblade Kick that rocked her opponent to the core. It didn’t keep Lee rocked for long, and the spunky young woman came back at Charlie. Lee retaliated with a series of powerful suplexes, including a breathtaking Bridging German Suplex that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. Charlie arched up from the impact, but she didn’t let it keep her down for long before she was back up. It was clear that neither of the women were going to give in easily considering what was at stake.
As the match intensified, both competitors exchanged thunderous blows, with Lee unleashing a devastating Brainbuster that seemed to shake Charlie as she went down. However, Charlie still refused to stay down for long, summoning her resilience to get up and hit a vicious roundhouse kick that sent Lee crashing to the mat. Charlie backed up, waiting for Lee to start getting back to her feet. As she did, Charlie ran towards her, executing a vicious Enter the Dead Zone. The impact echoed throughout the arena as Charlie quickly pinned Lee, the referee sliding to the mat for the count.

WINNER: Charlie St. Haven
The scene transitions to the parking lot of Zion Stadium. Abigail Lindsay is alone sitting on her motorcycle. What she doesn’t notice is a jaw dropping blonde who is instantly recognizable by the way the audience inside the arena reacts. Her youngest sister, Dawn Lohan, is walking towards her. She taps Abi on the shoulder. The Kingdom member turns around. Dawn doesn’t hesitate to give her older sister a hug. Caught off guard, Abigail replies.
Abigail Lindsay: Dawn... what are you doing here?
Dawn Lohan: Do I need an excuse to support my sister?
Abigail Lindsay: Normally, no. But all things considered...
Dawn breaks the embrace. She lightly chuckles.
Dawn Lohan: Can’t get anything past you, huh?
Abigail shakes her head. Dawn continues.
Dawn Lohan: I can’t apologize enough about Yukiko. If I had known--
Abigail rests one finger on Dawn’s lips to stop her from talking.
Abigail Lindsay: Shhhhhh. Enough. Did you know DIAMOND was going to stab the Queens in the back?
Abigail removes her finger. Dawn takes a deep breath.
Dawn Lohan: DIAMOND had more than a few grievances with the way the Queens treated her. Would I have aired my frustrations like that? If it were me I would have handled the situation internally. Who am I to hold how DIAMOND handled a very personal situation against her? Regardless of how we got here, being away from the Queens is what’s best for DIAMOND’s mental health. Sorry Yukiko tried dragging you into this.
Abigail shrugs her shoulders.
Abigail Lindsay: Yukiko wanted my head. I don’t mind. Not my first rodeo dealing with an agent of chaos. Becca Black assaulted Christina. The Queens going into business for themselves when it comes to The Kingdom has become a trend. Are we supposed to twiddle our thumbs? Is Morgan being besties with Jessi enough to prevent a war? What if Yukiko decides to use you to get inside DIAMOND’s? Am I supposed to go, “Yeah Morgan, you and Jessi are besties, I will be the bigger person and keep the peace.” I hope the worst case scenario doesn’t happen.
Abigail shares a rare moment of frustration by rolling her eyes.
Abigail Lindsay: Anyway, I need to win my match tonight. Thanks for stopping by!
Dawn sees how much this conversation riled Abigail up. A look of regret overcomes Dawn’s face.
Dawn Lohan: Oh. Right. I am so sorr-
Abigail holds up her hand. She flashes a smile to calm Dawn down.
Abigail Lindsay: No more apologies. We’ll celebrate later. Stay safe. I got a match to win.
Abigail revs up her motorcycle. She drives off, leaving Dawn in the parking lot as the scene fades to black.
MATCH FIVE ASCENSION CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH
Abigail Lindsay vs Octavia Black vs Morganna Summers
The three ladies circle the ring, waiting for someone to make the first move, as it is Abigail trying to catch both off guard with a double lariat, though both duck. She turns around to get hit by a double clothesline. She rolled out of the ring, as Octavia would catch an attempted pump kick on her by Morgana, as she brings her down into a knee bar. She tried to take her leg out, though, Morgana escaped with some kicks to the head.
Morgana would deliver a big scoop slam to Octavia, as she goes to the top rope. She is intercepted by Abigail, who would slug her and get on the second rope to look for a superplex. However, Octavia recovered to German Suplex Abigail with a modified Tower of Doom. Morgana rolled out of the ring to recover, as Octavia would try to isolate Abigail with an abdominal stretch that would be transitioned into some hammer and anvil elbow strikes. She looked to weaken her, but, Abigail would be able to counter and escape after several strikes. Abigail used her superior weight and leverage to hip toss her over, and transition into an armbar. She tries to wrench for a submission, but, Blaque contorted and rolled Abigail up in a pin attempt.

2..
Morgana would break up the pin, as Abigail would slither out of the ring. Octavia and Morgana fight with each other to trade blows. Octavia was winning the striking exchange,, as she caught her with a big Pele Kick after ducking a high roundhouse. Octavia runs the ropes, looking for a tackle, though Morgana caught Octavia with a hair pulling facebuster. She then connected with a snapmare and then a double foot stomp, before connecting with the Lunar Crash on Octavia. But, as they were both distracted with one another, Abigail would soar in to connect with Serenity Now on Morgana, spiking her into the mat and covering her.

WINNER: Abigail Lindsay
Backstage we see the current Wasteland Tag Team Champions; Thotline Miami. The belts shine brilliantly around their waists, they're dressed in street clothes; Cindy with cargo pants and a crop top, Taylor with denim shorts and a Wham! t-shirt.
Cindy Collins::
It sure was nice of our GM to make Destiny’s tag title match official and save us the trouble of having to come out and accept ourselves. Kühn brothers, you should know you don't even need to ask for a shot at these titles. Any time, any place, any team. Those are the words we live by as Wasteland Tag Team Champions.
Taylor Gibson::
You might have been the toughest team we've faced since winning these belts, at least top three for sure. But we're still in a league above you and I don't think you've had enough time to bridge that gap yet.
Cindy Collins::
There's no better place to settle things between us than Destiny III. THE biggest show in the history of this company, hell, maybe even the whole industry. Destiny; where legacies are forged and legends are made. Destiny; where the whole world will be watching.
Taylor Gibson::
Boys, I know the match has been official for a week, but know this… we accept your challenge, we want this match. But we will beat you again and there will be no doubt who's number one and who's number two. You’ll have to go back to the forties to find a time the U.S.A. have beaten the Germans as bad as we’re gonna do come Destiny.
The champs have a stern, strictly business look on their face, with Cindy even gripping the top of her championship possessively with both hands and the scene fades out.
