After show opening pyro end then “STARS” Original by Stardom begins to plays as the crowd in the arena immediately stands on their feets and cheers and chants Nami Megumi’s name loud throughout the arena as Nami Megumi entering the arena with a huge smile on her face before she waves her hands to the crowd before she begins to walks down to the ramp as she hugging the fans along the ringside before she heads to the ring and rolls herself inside the ring before gets back to her feets and asks the microphone from the timekeeper before she walks back to the middle of the ring before “STARS” Original by Stardom slowly fading away as the crowd continuing to cheers her loud before Nami slowly brought the microphone up to her lips while the crowd continuing to cheers her loud.
Nami Megumi: Last week… Kara Carbajal the Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight Champion talks her shit and pays tribute to Zachary Porter but who is going to care about her shit now? Or even who sees her as the goat like she thought she is? Only goat she can be is a goat that does not mean the greatest of all time! I didn’t see her as the goat or anything. She won the title by cashing in on my Morgan Payne and that is what I want to remind her. And last week when I was listening to her promo when I was at home I wanted to say I’m bored when she says everything she wants but what is the important point? Nothing more than pays tribute to Zachary Porter!
And I respect him for that because he must have time to rest to think about whether he should leave the fake family like the void because he is better than all of the void. I only hope for him to have a good rest and out of the void to reconsider something for his career. So, this is not time to pity for someone but I will point out to Kara Carbajal right now for what she did last week it make me realize that she didn’t care about match in Destiny III that was so disappointed for the challenger like me and for everyone too because the champion are so ignorance what we can expected for her?
We will let her carry this brand on her back right this? Nah, this is why we are going to lose rating to Fusion. See what Fusion have Queens Of Chaos versus Genesis of Destruction while we have only the Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight Champion pays tribute to her “fake” family. So, Kara, I know you will listen to me. I don't care where you are right now. I want you to be angry and I know you will after listening to my promo right now. I want to face the best of you not you not fucking care anything around you I want to piss you off and right now I think you are piss off right now. I want to take the Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight Champion away from the best Kara Carbajal! And I will at Destiny III! Prepare for it, Kara. The end of you is coming soon!
Nami Megumi finishes her words before drop the microphone down to the mat and “STARS” Original by Stardom begins to plays again and the crowd cheers her loud before Nami goes down from the ring and heads back to the backstage.
As Nami leaves the ring, Meliana Rodrigo replaces her, microphone in-hand. She stands in front of a table of sorts with two chairs on either side of it. In Meliana’s other hand, she holds a clipboard.
Meliana Rodrigo: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Mayhem, we are well on our way to Destiny which is right around the corner!
The crowd pops hard.
Meliana Rodrigo: And if you didn’t see on the official Zion X account the other day, another series of matches was announced for this blockbuster two-day pay-per-view extravaganza! One of those matches is a rematch that has been months in the making! Now, Sean Parker made his debut in Zion Wrestling in July last year.
Since his debut, he went on an incredible run which saw him capture the Endurance Championship from Robert Kaiden Oakley at Invasion in Toronto. From there, the man known as the Sky Assassin went on a great run… enter The Masochist Genius! Zion Management managed to book what was to be an incredible match at FCW’s supershow, Be The Fight 3! In December. Many expected Parker to retain his title but in what many consider to be an upset, it was Akane Yamashita who emerged from the match with the Endurance Championship! And since then, there’s been no stopping her! By the time Destiny comes around on April 28th, Yamashita will have held the Endurance Championship for 134 days, the longest-reigning holder in the title’s history, equalling RKO’s own record for defenses. And now, we’ll see if she can make it five and truly become the most dominant Endurance Champion in Zion’s history! That’s right, at Destiny III, it will be Parker-Yamashita Two for the Endurance Championship!
Crowd: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
Meliana Rodrigo: And, as we all saw on social media, we’ll see a sneak preview in tonight’s main event when the Endurance Champion, Akane Yamashita teams up with the Internet Champion, Jack Morrison and the Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara Carbajal. They take on their respective challengers, Sean Parker, Melissa Tasman and Nami Megumi!
Crowd: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
Meliana nods and waits for the crowd to die down before continuing, holding up the clipboard.
Meliana Rodrigo: Now, in my hand here is the official contract for Destiny for the Endurance Championship match! So, without further adieu, please welcome the challenger! The Sky Assassin himself! SEAN! PARKER!
“Ken’s Theme [Metal Version]” by ToxicxEternity booms throughout the arena and moments later, Sean Parker appears on the stage to a huge cheer from the crowd. Wearing a zipped up royal blue hoodie with white trim and matching tracksuit bottoms, he stands on the stage for a moment before making his way down to the ring, slapping some of outstretched fans as he does so.
Sean climbs into the ring and gives an acknowledging nod to Meliana before taking a seat in one of the chairs.
Meliana Rodrigo: And now, please welcome, the longest-reigning Zion Wrestling Endurance Champion! The Masochist Genius! AKANE! YAMASHITA!
“CHAINSAW BLOOD” by VAUNDY rips through the arena and out comes the champion, the Endurance Championship draped over her shoulder. This one is dressed more fancily, a full black suit that has a pattern of bloody rain on the jacket and the pants. Akane has the title belt resting over her shoulder while she also has reached out to some of the fans on her way to the ring. Her expression is hard to read, as if she doesn’t even have one.
As Akane takes a seat opposite Sean, Meliana sets the clipboard down on the desk that separates champion and challenger, flipping over the front page.
Meliana Rodrigo: Now, before we get to the signing of the contract, Sean, Akane, it’s no secret there has been nothing but respect between the two of you even before your match back in December. Now, this is something of a rarity here in Zion Wrestling, for two opponents going into such a highly-charged and anticipated match with so much on the line, that you two have managed to stay respectful towards one another. Sean, you yourself made it clear that it was always your intent to win back the Endurance Championship and that losing the title was something of an anomaly. Do you still think that, looking back?
Sean smirks, allowing himself a light chuckle. He picks up one of the mics sitting on the desk.
Sean Parker: Look, I’m never going to take anything away from what Yamashita-san has accomplished as Endurance Champion. She’s done what I wanted to do, which was become the longest-reigning champion in the history of the company. I wanted to take it to different promotions and be the litmus test for everyone. And I’ll never make excuses for losing; I agreed to the match knowing my schedule at the time was hectic. But I still believed I was capable of retaining my title and I was very close to doing so. But the fact still remains, I was most definitely NOT at my best that day. And that’s why I’m so glad this rematch is happening because…
Sean looks at Akane, pointing towards her.
Sean Parker: ...I will prove to you, Yamashita-san, and the Zion Universe, that on MY best day…. Watashi ni wa katenai yo! (You can’t beat me!)
Yamashita’s eyes are closed, where she has her head pointed down at the table as if she is trying to drown out the noise and focus on what she is thinking about. A small sigh comes from the Champion and she slowly lifts the microphone, keeping her attention to herself and away from the people.
Akane Yamashita: I remember, the end of last month was a unique time period for me. I've been given chances to be able to wrestle in my home again after being suddenly thrusted into this American setting. It was unique because there were two dates that were somewhat important to me. March 24th, I had a tag team match in Hokkaido which I was successful alongside a friend in Rio Kurokawa. Then, March 25th, I had to defend this Championship in Detroit, against an opponent that I don't shy away from saying is one of the tougher opponents I've had to defend this against. Well, the point of saying all of this is. There's a clear difference between myself and Sean Parker. I don't mean anything ill by this, but it's clear that some of us are clearly made for the hectic schedule, and some of us clearly aren't.
Akane looks up once her words are finished, looking around at the fans where her expression changes. She taps the microphone against the table a couple times.
Akane Yamashita: Watashitachi no kankei ga nandearu ka o shitte imasu. Shikashi, unmei ga otozureru to, ende~yuransuchanpion wa ichi-ri shika sonzai shimasen.
(I know what our relationship is. But, at Destiny, there can only be one Endurance Champion.)
Akane puts the microphone down, looking over at the contract where she reaches over to pick up one of the pens that were on the table. A second of hesitance passes, and instead of signing the paper first Yamashita doesn’t even hesitate to dig the tip of the pen into her arm, with enough pressure to break through her skin. With the tip of the pen now having Akane’s blood on it, she is happy to sign her name on the Champion line of the contact.
The fans all let out an “Ohhh!” at Akane signing the contract in her own blood. Meliana also looks shocked and all eyes go to Sean. The challenger though remains stoic. He brings the mic up to his mouth again.
Sean Parker: Let’s get one thing straight here…
Sean stands up from the table and leans over it, pointing to Akane in a threatening manner.
Sean Parker: ...that little blood show? That doesn’t scare me, Yamashita-san! You think I’m scared of blood? You think I’ve never stained this canvas with my own before? And the Sean Parker you faced before? He’s dead, Yamashita-san! I buried him after you beat him. This Sean Parker?
Sean holds his hand out, thumb extended, pointing back to himself.
Sean Parker: He’s unlike anything you’ve ever faced before, Yamashita-san! He’s a stone-cold fucking killer! He’s an assassin!
Sean is getting more pumped up by the minute as he verbally thunders away at Akane.
Sean Parker: He’s held the XWF Anarchy Championship for 117 days! He’s one of the only ones not to be pinned in the TRIAD Wit Trials! He’s the most dangerous person you will ever face, bar none!
Sean points to the stage, his gaze still firmly fixed on the champion.
Sean Parker: Those opponents you’ve faced? TATER? Kurokawa-san? Savannah Lawrence? You might be the longest-reigning champion but your Rogues Gallery of opponents looks it was put together in fucking kindergarten art class!
I’ve beaten Teresa Morgan, Centurion, Bobby Bourbon, Nami Megumi, Paul Freedom, the Big Bifford, Ricky Rodriguez! Face it, Yamashita-san! Watashitachi wa mohaya onaji reberu dewa arimasen. Anata ga champion kamoshiremasen ga, ima wa watashi o miageteimasu!
(We are no longer on the same level. You might be champion but you're looking up at me now!)
Sean shoves the mic down onto the table, pushing at Akane before grabbing his own pen and signs his name on the Challenger line. He then presses the tip of his finger on the bloody signature of Akane. He raises his bloodsoaked finger up before licking it, still not taking his stare off the champion.
Crowd: You sick fuck! You sick fuck! You sick fuck!
For one of the first times in this exchange, there was some form of emotion constantly coming from Yamashita. While Sean was speaking, her expression had changed to more of a bored one.
Akane Yamashita: Kono gōkana atarashī tōnamento ni sanka suru to, sono yōna namae ni katsu no wa kantandesu. Watashi ga kore o iu toki, watashi wa niganigashiku omotte imasenshi, anata no iu koto o uradzukeru monode sura aru to omoimasu. Shikashi, watashi wa sore o kentō sura sa remasendeshita.
(It's easy to win against such names when you join this gorgeous new tournament. I'm not being bitter when I say this, and I think it even corroborates what you say. But I wasn't even considered.)
There was a pause from Akane, looking around at the people where she simply shrugged her shoulders.
Akane Yamashita: Watashi ga ZION no ringu ni iru toki wa, sore ni tsuite wa hanashitakunai... Anata ga hanasu chīsana toraiado no koto. Sorera no namae wa watashi ni totte nani no imi mo arimasen. Totemo hikuinode, Akane wa soko made miorosu koto ga dekimasen.
(When I'm in the ZION ring, I don't want to talk about that...the little TRIAD thing you talk about. Those names mean nothing to me. It's so low that Akane can't see down that far.)
Akane looks down at the table again, seeing that her signature is smeared now. It causes her to laugh along and she shakes her head.
Akane Yamashita: Chōshoku ni chi o nomimasu. Kyō no anata no kōdō wa muimidesu.
(I drink blood for breakfast. Your actions today are meaningless.)
Akane stands up for just a second, only to return the shove that Sean had given to her. She grabs her title belt from the table and puts it back over her shoulder. Sean just stares at Akane before launching himself at her, looking for Masamune Decapitation! Akane sees it at the last minute and manages to avoid it! She jumps at Sean, going for Bloody Shower but this time it’s the challenger who avoids disaster, cartwheeling out of it! Champion and challenger begin to go at it! They hammer into each other with rights and lefts, brawling across the table where the signed contract is. A swarm of security guards flood the ring, trying to separate Sean and Akane, eventually pulling them apart.
Crowd: Let them fight! Let them fight! Let them fight!
Sean, his chest heaving, holds his hands up, letting the security guards know he’s calm, still though pushing some of their hands off his chest. He points over them towards Akane whose face is like thunder.
Sean Parker: Saa, unmei yo, watashi wa futatabi watashi no shōgō o torimodosu no da! (Come Destiny, I take my title back!)
Sean turns around and goes to leave the ring when suddenly Akane grabs a mic from the table and launches it, sending it clattering into the back of Sean’s head, creating a staticy-feedback-like sound. Sean turns round, a surprised look on his face. He looks down at the mic on the mat and towards Akane who just sticks her tongue out at him. That did it! Sean pushes past the security guards to get to Akane but it takes all of them to hold him back and eventually push him out of the ring as Akane takes her leave as well.
We open up in the Kingdom locker room where we see Christina Olson sitting and Lilith Meadows standing beside her, finishing up some stretching. The blonde smiles, putting a hand on Christina’s shoulder, causing the redhead to look up at her with a smile of her own.
Christina Olson: I know you’re gonna crush it out there, Lil. I got more confidence in you than I do in myself right now.
Lilith’s expression grew a little serious as she gave Christina’s shoulder a gentle squeeze.
Lilith Meadows: You gotta quit bein so hard on yourself, Chrissy. Most people wouldn’t be able to even bounce back like you have after everythin you been through. I’m just happy to have my bestie back and here by my side again. It got lonely without ya.
Christina smiled up at Lilith, nodding her head. Before Christina could say anything though, Lilith used her free hand to reach down into the top of her gear before pulling out a package of Reese’s Cups and opening it up, offering one to Christina which caused the redhead to laugh.
Christina Olson: Nah, eat your prematch candy. We both know you ain’t the same if you don’t get two Reese’s Cups before your matches.
Lilith shrugged her shoulders, taking the black wrapper off both of them, stuffing both cups into her mouth at the same time and began chewing.
Lilith Meadows: This is the first chance we got as a team in almost two years to be champions together comin up at Destiny and I wanna go out there tonight and give us the best possible chance I can and that’s all I can do. If it was you instead of me Chrissy, I’d tell ya the same thing. All I can do and all you can ever do is go out there and give it your best and leave nothin left in your body and you know all of us, especially me and Morggy will be super proud of ya.
Christina once again nods her head before standing up and coming around the chair to face Lilith, flashing a smile.
Christina Olson: You’re right. I know I’m still trying to find that confidence you never seem to lack again, but I do know with you fightin by my side, I’ll find it and soon, we’ll be callin ourselves champions again.
Lilith nods her head, reaching into her top again, pulling out another package of Reese’s Cups and starts to eat them as Christina laughs and the camera fades out.
The screen lights up with a drone shot of the Cotton Bowl Stadium grounds. Nearby is the Top O’ Texas tower. The screen flickers violently before the daylight turns to night. The environment lit from below with the lights from teh Texas State Fairgrounds, though no one seems to be walking through it.
Familiar Vocalist: It starts with one
All I know
It's so unreal
Watch you go
The screen shifts from the spectacular drone shot to one of a hand coming away from a Body cam. The view is almost the same, but obviously from behind a window as it slowly rotates.
Familiar Vocalist: I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
The hand slaps a Destiny III Sticker on the window as she continues.
Familiar Vocalist: One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself of a time when
I tried so hard
The rotation of the disc moved the scene to the neighboring Leonhardt Lagoon. As the lights dim a figure starts to appear on the glass, feminine in form, wearing a black shirt, her long red hair shines through the most. There is a reflection of the body cam around chest height.
Familiar Vocalist: In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when I
The rotation continued and as the lights grew dimmer, more features of the figure could be seen. The shirt was a Black Texas State Fair t-shirt. She just stood there with a thumb in the top of the pockets in ehr jeans. But her face remained a blur. However as the window shifted to look over the Dos Equis Pavilion, where the lights would be off. The figure suddenly turned away. Body cam feed switching over to the drone, which had moved down to look in on the red-haired figure walking away. A White Wooden Mask, resting against the glass as she vanished.

“Classy” Bianca Page is standing as she is walking along Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois.
”Classy” Bianca Page: So here is the thing. Since I came up short in my recent match on NFW Trauma I felt the need to take a walk and think about what I want for my wrestling career. I am sick and tired of having to deal with that moronic fool, Tots for brains. I am in the season of change and I am ready to move on from who or whatever needs to be out of my life. That includes you Taterhead. You have been lusting after me for months now. You inserted yourself into my life and worst of all you have cost me the Internet Championship not once but twice! And the world saw you costing me the chance at the Chance Briefcase. I have had enough! Obviously I have bigger and better aspirations here in Zion Wrestling than avoiding your creepy come on lines and just because we are on two different brands couldn’t stop you from your harassment. So what does that mean? I am demanding you meet me in the ring at Destiny lll in a one on one match. Let’s just call it the war to settle the score if you will. So what do you say, Tots? Are you man enough to step into the ring with me once again so I can pin you one more time? Honestly I don’t think you are just going off the low blow I gave you which allowed me to win the Internet Championship back in December. But who knows you can surprise me considering you do things without any intelligence or logic. If you are brave enough to go one on one with me Tots I will put you behind me along with all the unpleasant things in my life.
BIanca winks at the camera before the screen fades to black.
Backstage in The Pit, Teresa Morgan was making her way throughout the arena, clearly on a mission. It wasn’t hard to tell that she was looking for someone, and anyone that had been watching the shows knew that it had to be Jinx. She stopped one of the stagehands, a serious look on her face as she did.
Teresa Morgan: Have you seen Jinx anywhere?
The stagehand quickly shook their head, and Teresa let out a frustrated growl. The worker scurried off, and Teresa continued on her way through the arena. She asked a few more people, all of who said they hadn’t seen the other woman which only added to Teresa’s frustration over the whole situation. She didn’t like being toyed with, and she knew that was exactly what Jinx was doing with her.
Teresa Morgan: You wanted to play, Jinxy, so come and play!
She came across open rooms down a hallway. The lights were off in all of them but the doors were open. Cautiously, she began entering them one at a time, quickly flicking the lights on to look around. Each time that she didn’t find The Jestress, she let out a more and more frustrated growl. She called out again as she came to the last room that was in the hallway, hoping that she might finally find the other woman.
Teresa Morgan: I know you’re around here somewhere! Come on out!
Just as Teresa steps out of that room and back into the hallway to look around is when…it’s noticed. Teresa herself doesn’t see her but the fans watching the broadcast all utter a low gasp and their voices start to clamor as, in the background behind Teresa, Jinx, The Jestress comes lowering down from the scaffolding in the shadows. It’s almost hard to identify her but two things give her away: her hood and that wide, unsettling grin spreading across her black lips. She hangs there, literally upside down for a moment as her head tilts curiously but says nothing before she pulls herself back up and slips back into the darkness just as Teresa does another 360 turn to see if she can spot her quarry. When she doesn’t see anything, Teresa scowls and turns around again, walking off to continue her search for Jinx.
Teresa Morgan: I’ll find you eventually, Jinx. And Lord help you when I do.
The scene faded out as she turned a corner, having no idea that Jinx was still watching her from the darkness.

Mac Allister celebrates as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (CARPE DIEM)
Backstage at The Pit.
Melissa Tasman: It took months. Suffering, training, sweating, crying, bleeding, breaking. It all led to this.
Can you come up with a better season finale line?
I put everything into this and now champions vs challengers is on.
I'm not naive. I'm the weakest link in this match. I know it. I know where I am.
But that's not gonna stop me. Because if it's Morrison or Kara or Akane, it doesn't matter. I'll put on the show everyone wants. And that no one will ever forget.
It's the season finale. But it's just the beginning.
Fade.
Alberquerque, New Mexico. Unfortunately, The Pit Arena would experience an individual or individuals in this matter who recently came from a gauntlet match. Inside the backstage area, most likely in medical, making sure she's checked out, is Livvie Nelson, who pushes away a couple of medical personnel alongside Serenity Holmes, already showing her durability as she stands up confident about her performance in the match. The camera crew approaches the two, who walk out of the medical office into the hallways, but Serenity Holmes leads the duo with an important message.
Serenity Holmes: Everyone in this gauntlet match for Destiny III to crown the inaugural Zion Wrestling Global Tag Team Champions must be so happy. Well, I'm glad everyone else because WE'RE NOT!!!
Her immediate yell caused others to remove themselves from the scene. Livvie unwrapped the tape around her hands and enjoyed Serenity's sudden violent tendencies.
Serenity Holmes: Hungry for Destruction. The uncrowned tag team champions because, time and time again, we keep getting screwed. We defeated Rising Star Boulevard not once but twice, and we didn't get the championships. We pinned Senshi No Akumu but still haven't won the tag team championships. We are doing everything by the book as management would want, but in the end, we get screwed. Now, we have to take matters into our own hands, and I am so thankful that at Destiny III, it will happen!
Serenity and Livvie stand together, but Serenity grabs the camera as usual to pull it into her face.
Serenity Holmes: To every other tag team in this match, you're nothing. This isn't about you making history; it's about us proving to the world what we have shown repeatedly. We are the most dominant tag team in this company; at Destiny III, we obliterate and dominate everyone in our way. Ladies and gentlemen, we are Hungry for Destruction, so let the feeding grounds commence!
She pushes the camera out, and both women walk away confidently.
MATCH #3: REINA HAMADA VS MORGAN PAYNE
Morgan and Reina lock up in a collar & elbow tieup straight off the bell. Things start off with Reina looking for a wrist lock but Morgan counters and reverses it into a tight arm wringer. Reina escapes out of it through a roll across the mat and reverses right back into a hammerlock on Morgan. The Queen of the Seven Seas twists that arm tightly but The Ace impressively slips out and catches her in a rear waistlock. Morgan goes right to her suplex offense and yeets Reina back for a German Suplex but Reina lands on her feet, coming in at the unsuspecting McKeesport Mauler with a Running Neck Snap that lays her out on the mat. Reina keeps the pace in her favor and hits the ropes for a Lionsault that sees her land across Morgan’s supine form and hooks the leg for a pin.
ONE!
TW–KICKOUT!
In the kickout, Morgan pops her hips up and shoves Reina off of her, but she snatches the wrist of the arm Reina’s using to hook her leg and transitions the kickout right into a Cross Armbar. Morgan puts full torque on the hold with Reina fighting to get out of it, which she does by rolling backwards, rotating her entire body and turning Morgan over with her as her foot lands on the bottom rope, causing a break. Morgan releases the hold, allowing Reina to get up and it’s put her in prime position to seize the McKeesport Mauler from behind, executing a Saito Suplex down to the mat! Morgan rolls back into a sitting position and Reina comes in with a stiff Soccer Kick. Just as it impacts, Morgan catches the leg, pinning it against her chest with her arms and begins to stand. Reina realizes her predicament and senses she’s trapped as she holds her hands up for her opponent to listen to reason. Instead, Morgan sweeps the other leg out from under Reina and, holding onto her other foot, executes a Ranger Roll, torquing the leg as she goes. As Reina grabs her leg in pain, Morgan finds her way back to her feet and snatches her up around the waist for a Gutwrench Powerbomb and a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
Reina’s far from done as she fires up a shoulder. Morgan pulls her up, pushes her back into the ropes for a bit of extra spring for an Irish whip and she sends Reina running! Reina comes off and Morgan throws a nasty Discus Lariat but it misses as Reina ducks! She whips around and here comes Reina with her own Discus Elbow, clocking Morgan right in the jaw! Morgan staggers back into the ropes but uses the spring to come off at Reina again but Reina catches her with a Superkick using the leg Morgan torqued earlier. Morgan hits the mat and Reina shakes her leg out before dropping down for a cover. This time, sitting right down on Morgan’s chest and lifting one of her legs up to avoid a similar predicament with the armbar earlier.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Morgan kicks out, bucking again and causing Reina to fall back, right into a Rear Naked Chokehold. The referee checks for any sign of Reina wanting to submit as Morgan squeezes even tighter on the hold. But before she can get the legs wrapped around Reina, the Queen of the Seven Seas pushes her feet off and rolls back, pinning Morgan’s shoulders to the mat!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—NO!
Morgan’s forced to release the chokehold in order to get her shoulders up! Reina rolls up to her feet, holding her neck and gasping for air but she has enough in her, as Morgan sits up, to run past her, hit the ropes and NAILS her with a Sliding D Elbow to the jaw! Morgan’s down again and Reina rolls out onto the apron, getting back up and starts to call for the “Desde el Cielo (Phenomenal Forearm)!” She springs off the ropes and comes flying down like a hawk BUT MORGAN ROLLS ACROSS THE MAT AND EVADES!!!! The Ace pops up! Hits the ropes! Reina turns! “TASTES LIKE A TIMBALAND BOOT BI–” NO!! Reina rolls under the leg! Hits the ropes! Morgan whips around! “HARPOON (SPEAR)!!!!!” DAMN NEAR CUTS MORGAN IN HALF!!!!! COVER!!!!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—NO!
Reina pulls Morgan up and takes her in the jaw with a European Forearm! Morgan stumbles back and steps right back in with a stiff Forearm shot! Reina eats it and spits it right back out at Morgan! Morgan fires back again! Reina fires right back! Morgan shoots! Reina shoots! Morgan! Reina! Morgan! Reina! Morgan! Reina! Morgan! Reina! Morgan Reina! Morgan takes that one and fails to answer back! Reina adds insult to injury with a Superkick! Sends Morgan into the ropes! She bounces back off! “FADED LINE (CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL)” KNOCKS REINA INSIDE OUT!!! MORGAN COVERS!!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—KICKOUT FROM REINA!
Morgan slaps the mat in frustration but quickly calms herself and starts moving towards the ropes. She starts to climb the turnbuckle as Reina fights to hurry to her feet. She sees Morgan climbing up and runs up to catch her in a rear waistlock up top! Morgan fights back with some back elbows but Reina hammers down across her back until Morgan stops fighting! She goes for it! “TSUNAMI (AVALANCHE POISONRANA)!!!!!” Morgan goes crashing do–NO?!?! She lands on her feet and hands like an unsteady cat, pushing up and staggers back into the corner. Reina pulls herself up in the corner and turns around! “TASTES LIKE A TIMBALAND BOOT, BITCH (BROGUE KICK)” or in this case, more like a Helluva Kick in the corner!!!! Reina slumps against the turnbuckle and Morgan picks her up into an Inverted Fireman’s Carry! She runs to the center and adds a little jump to “DAHNTAHN AFTER DAHK (BURNING HAMMER)!!!!!!” COVER!!!!
ONE!
TWO!
…..
THREE!
Vivian Blake: ”Your winner, by pinfall…MORGAN…PAYNE!!”
Winter Mae: ”I’m almost sad this one’s over, Kyle. That was amazing!”
Kyle Cassidy: ”You and me both, Winter! These girls put on a clinic as they always do in their own right!”
As “Pittsburgh” plays, Morgan calls for a microphone from Vivian and mimes sweeping a hand across her throat.
Morgan Payne: ”NahNahNahNahNahNahNahNah. Cut dat ahff. We ain’t finished yet.”
Morgan takes a moment to catch her breath, pushing some hair out of her face. Sweat drips off her face, causing a glisten on her neck and arms under the lights of the arena. She rests a hand on her knee before pushing off to stand straight and raises the mic again.
Morgan Payne: ”I’ma cut right to tha chase cuz ahnno tha night ain’t over… Now…for tha past coupla weeks I been waitin’...patiently...for an answer to my lil challenge I laid aht. Now, Destiny’s right arahnd tha corner and honestly? I ain’t had a good past coupla weeks…so I ain’t in tha mood for games. My patience is runnin’ thin. I’d say it’s time for dat answer you said I was gonna get…”
She turns from addressing the Albuquerque fans and looks dead into the camera.
Morgan Payne: ”I’ve had my share of dealin’ with flickerin’ lights and wispy voices. Ain’t nothin’ but a waste o’my time. So why don’chu do me a favor. Do errybody here a favor…come aht from hidin’ right now. Cuz until ya do? I ain’t leavin’…”
Morgan lets her arm drop, still clutching the mic as she steps to the center of the ring, turns to face the stage…and takes a seat right on the mat, crossing her legs. Waiting.
Kyle Cassidy: ”What? Is she gonna sit here until the lights flicker again?”
Winter Mae: ”She said she was out of patience!”
The haunting ballad of “Lux Aeterna” begins to play. The crowd (and Morgan) are in shock to see the previously retired Zach Porter walk out on the stage. He holds his right hand in the air.
Zachary Porter: Cut the music.
His request for his music to be cut.
Zachary Porter: All those cryptic interruptions the past two weeks, it was me but... it wasn’t me. Morgan, I owe you an explanation. Who you were interrupted by was my... um... demon for lack of a better word. Vengeance.
Zachary begins making his way down to the ring. Once he reaches the ringside area he walks over to the ring steps, walks up them. He walks across the ring apron but opts not to step foot in the ring.
Zachary Porter: It was His intent to accept your challenge, not me. Vengeance has always seen himself as the force of nature to solve all my problems. Prior to Destiny I, KC put me on the shelf nearly costing me a chance to compete for the World Championship, he came to my aid. Destiny II, Legion was getting under my skin. He dealt with her. I wanted all this Kingdom nonsense to end at War Games. Vengeance was supposed to be my problem solver. The funny thing was, you and Nami played a role in me NOT main eventing Destiny III in my home state and he wanted your head for it. Maybe, just maybe, when KC puts Nami down and you are put in your place, The Kingdom can finally buzz off but---
Zach takes a deep breath.
Zachary Porter: I don’t want to give that demon power over me anymore.
The former World Champion steps foot in the ring. He approaches Morgan.
Zachary Porter: If there was one thing the World Cup showed me is I rested on my laurels. Only so long I can go around telling the world I am the first Madness Rumble Winner. Look at me, I was a pretty good World Champion when, and I hate giving her credit, Jordan Major did a solid job after me. She outlasted my reign. ISIS has gone on to continue her dominance. So much has changed in Zion since the day I lost the World Championship. I am not at the top of the food chain anymore.
But you are Morgan.
He points at Morgan.
Zachary Porter: You are one of the best this company has seen. Instead of welcoming your arrival, I rejected it. All because of where you came from. It would be easy for me to give into temptation, unleash Vengeance, allow him to solve my problems, I need this as Zachary Porter. I don’t know who that is anymore. I’m willing to take a chance. So Morgan, you and me at Destiny III. What do you say?
Morgan’s on her feet as soon as Zach steps through the ropes, almost forcing herself to stand through the pain in her body after the adrenaline rush of her match has worn off. She’s practically staring daggers into Zach as he speaks before slowly raising her mic when he turns the floor over.
Morgan Payne: ”First ahff?...”
A pause. Perhaps for dramatic effect? Who knows.
Morgan Payne: ”...Welcome back.”
There’s a buzz in the crowd now. Did she just welcome Zachary Porter of The Void back to TV?! The crowd almost starts to react but Morgan, still eyeing Zach, raises her arm up, asking for their silence.
Morgan Payne: ”Not gonna lie, I started piecin’ things together n’at, I was almost sure wif enough proddin’ Vengeance woulda come aht here and who knows what then? But nah…”
She gestures her hand towards Zach as if to say “here stands the man, not the monster.”
Morgan Payne: ”Not gon’ lie, I’m happier t’see you here than him. Hold up!”
Before anyone can start jumping to conclusions, she holds up a finger.
Morgan Payne: ”Don’t get me wrong. Not cuz I’m scared of…whatever Vengeance is. But tee bee aich? S’like you said. You don’t need him. Fuck’s sake, Zach. Ya never did need him. I’ma be real wit’chu an’ don’t take dis as me tryina get under your skin. …You’re problem lately, from what I can tell is ya been focusin’ too much on tha wrong shit. Tha past bein’ one of ‘em. Errytime I see you on tha bird app, or X, or Y, or Z, whatever tha fuck it is now…you keep harpin’ back to tha same ol’ shit. NFW vs Zion. How it was another company’s fault or how it was even Tha Kingdom’s fault. I’ma be real wit’chu, we both know whose fault dat shit was. It wasn’t NFW’s. It wasn’t Zion’s. It wasn’t Tha Kingdom’s. Hell, it wasn’t even yours.”
For a moment, Morgan lowers her mic hand and raises her brows, just looking at him as a way of practically saying, in no exact words, “we know damn well who started that shit.”
Morgan Payne: ”Line errything up, Zach. Before you put your mind on alla dat? Dat’s when you was on top of errybody else. Zion World Champion, Zach Porter. When I first came t’Zion…you, Kara, Miguel…”
She can’t help herself as she rolls her eyes and half shrugs a little.
Morgan Payne: ”...and Ed…yinz took it personal. Man, don’t. I said it from tha beginnin’. I ain’t come here t’step ahn anybody’s toes or jump in line. I came here…to wrestle. Cuz dat’s what I love doin’. Dat’s what I live for. Dat’s what I am. I am a professional wrestler. I came here to wrestle. Same as you. So…all bullshit aside. From one of the best in the world to honestly another…what do I say?”
Another pause as Morgan stares back at Zach with determined fire in her eyes to match his.
Morgan Payne: ”I say…Dallas, Texas…Destiny III…you an’ me…no funny shit. Kingdom and Void can stay in tha back when tha bell rings. Let’s fuckin’ go, bruh.”
The crowd roars their approval as Morgan drops her microphone and raises that hand back up, offering it out to Zach. He doesn’t hesitate to shake her hand. The crowd grows even more excited now they agreed to meet each other one-on-one at Destiny III.
Winter Mae: ”Ladies and gentlemen, we got us a match between Zachary Porter and Morgan Payne at Destiny III. This is gonna be huge!”
Kyle Cassidy: ”Oh I can’t wait for this one, Winter!”
RESULT: PINFALL (DAHNTAHN AFTER DAHK)
We cut backstage to find Dietrich and Werner Kühn along with their manager Heidi Krauss, watching Thotline Miami’s promo from episode twelve of Wednesday Night Wasteland on a large television screen. The Kühn brothers are wearing matching navy blue suits with Dietrich also wearing a pair of aviators while Krauss is wearing a sparkling pink dress with matching heels.
Winter Mae: Well, for those fans unfamiliar with our Wednesday Night Wasteland show, that is Dietrich and Werner Kühn with Heidi Krauss, collectively known as Schadenfreude, and the number one contenders to Thotline Miami’s Wasteland Tag Team Championships.
Kyle Cassidy: And at Destiny we shall see if Schadenfreude can continue their impressive run of victories and dethrone Thotline Miami, who have been just as impressive in their own right.
As the video ends, the trio shake their heads in disgust.
Werner Kühn: Typische Amerikaner. Always feeling the need to bring up the war. Erbärmlich.
Dietrich Kühn: Ja. And what is this fashion sense? Such a waste and a terrible representation from champions. Ekelhaft.
Heidi Krauss: Which is why when Destiny rolls around, the Wasteland brand will finally have Tag Team Champions with class that they can respect. As opposed to these two pieces of… Müll im Wohnwagenpark.
Krauss then glances off camera when something catches her eye.
Heidi Krauss: Speaking of…
Cindy Collins: Ahem.
The camera pans to show current Wasteland Tag Team Champions Thotline Miami. Their outfits contrast the formal dress sense of the challengers to their titles, as the two Miami natives are dressed rather casually. Cindy is sporting cargo pants with suspenders that are hanging down loose along with a black tank top showing off her midriff. Taylor is wearing folded denim shorts, converse high tops and a red stonewash ‘Dragon Ball’ t-shirt. Both have their tag team title belts around their waists.
Cindy Collins: You hearin’ this bimbo, Taylor? Talking about “respect”? She’s throwing around words she clearly doesn't even know the meaning of.
Taylor Gibson: Well I wish she'd stop using words I don't know the meaning of. I've half a mind to tell her where she can park her wohnwagen.
Cindy Collins: You guys can talk shit about our fashion sense all you want, but there’s not a Rolex or a pair of aviators out there that can match these accessories.
Cindy pats the faceplate of her championship confidently as Dietrich slowly removes his aviators and Werner steps up to Cindy.
Werner Kühn: My wife is no bimbo…
The older Kühn briefly glances over at Taylor before returning his focus to Cindy.
Werner Kühn: And since it would appear that you are not helping with the stereotype against your fellow Americans by showing your lack of education? Allow us to bestow some wisdom upon you. Nothing lasts forever. You may have successfully defended those championships against every tag team you have faced, including ourselves, but the reality of your situation is that… Mein Bruder und ich? We do not make the same mistake twice. So when it comes to Destiny at the end of this month? Those prestigious championships that you just disrespected by referring to as “accessories”? They will be around our waists once that bell tolls for a second time.
Taylor Gibson: Bro, you didn't make a mistake the first time, you're just not as good as us. We've beaten every team on the block and we're gonna keep doing it long after Destiny has come and gone.
Cindy Collins: We've got your number, plain and simple. We could do this ten times and we're gonna beat you every single time, it's what separates the best from the rest.
Taylor pulls out her phone and starts tapping away.
Cindy Collins: And quite frankly, we’re sick of you disrespecting us. Because you don't like the way we talk or the way we dress. Because we don't do things the same way you do. Who fuckin’ died and made you guys the authority on what it means to be a champion?
Taylor Gibson: Es ist uns egal, was ein Haufen lahmer, selbstgefälliger Melvins zu sagen hat. Wir werden Sie schlagen und die Dinge weiterhin auf unsere Weise erledigen.
Taylor reads from her phone, clearly using some kind of online translator as Heidi steps up to the champions now.
Heidi Krauss: We’ll see about that…
Heidi then suddenly slaps Cindy across the face which immediately causes Taylor to grab hold of her tag team partner who attempts to lunge for Heidi and in turn, the Kühn brothers grab a hold of their manager to stop her from getting into more trouble. The two women yell at one another as officials and security quickly arrive on the scene to make double sure the two don’t come to blows as we cut elsewhere.
Winter Mae: Well, for those fans unfamiliar with our Wednesday Night Wasteland show, that is Dietrich and Werner Kühn with Heidi Krauss, collectively known as Schadenfreude, and the number one contenders to Thotline Miami’s Wasteland Tag Team Championships.
Kyle Cassidy: And at Destiny we shall see if Schadenfreude can continue their impressive run of victories and dethrone Thotline Miami, who have been just as impressive in their own right.
As the video ends, the trio shake their heads in disgust.
Werner Kühn: Typische Amerikaner. Always feeling the need to bring up the war. Erbärmlich.
Dietrich Kühn: Ja. And what is this fashion sense? Such a waste and a terrible representation from champions. Ekelhaft.
Heidi Krauss: Which is why when Destiny rolls around, the Wasteland brand will finally have Tag Team Champions with class that they can respect. As opposed to these two pieces of… Müll im Wohnwagenpark.
Krauss then glances off camera when something catches her eye.
Heidi Krauss: Speaking of…
Cindy Collins: Ahem.
The camera pans to show current Wasteland Tag Team Champions Thotline Miami. Their outfits contrast the formal dress sense of the challengers to their titles, as the two Miami natives are dressed rather casually. Cindy is sporting cargo pants with suspenders that are hanging down loose along with a black tank top showing off her midriff. Taylor is wearing folded denim shorts, converse high tops and a red stonewash ‘Dragon Ball’ t-shirt. Both have their tag team title belts around their waists.
Cindy Collins: You hearin’ this bimbo, Taylor? Talking about “respect”? She’s throwing around words she clearly doesn't even know the meaning of.
Taylor Gibson: Well I wish she'd stop using words I don't know the meaning of. I've half a mind to tell her where she can park her wohnwagen.
Cindy Collins: You guys can talk shit about our fashion sense all you want, but there’s not a Rolex or a pair of aviators out there that can match these accessories.
Cindy pats the faceplate of her championship confidently as Dietrich slowly removes his aviators and Werner steps up to Cindy.
Werner Kühn: My wife is no bimbo…
The older Kühn briefly glances over at Taylor before returning his focus to Cindy.

We cut backstage to the entrance of The Pit as Kara “Killer” Carbajal enters the arena with her Global Heavyweight Championship proudly displayed over her shoulder and with confidence irradiating off of her entire presence.
Winter Mae: Wait… has Kara Carbajal literally just arrived?
Kyle Cassidy: When you’re the face of the brand, you can do as you please.
As Carbajal makes her way through the front of the arena, James Crosbie rushes onto the scene.
James Crosbie: Kara?! Kara?! Where have you been?! You’re late!
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Excuse you?! James… what is this over Mamacita’s shoulder?
James Crosbie: The… Global Heavyweight Championship…
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Good boy! And what does that mean?
James Crosbie: That… you’re the Global Heavyweight Champion…
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Exactly! It also means that this is Mamacita’s show… so she can do as she pleases. It also means that she’s a very busy woman, so how about you be a good little boy and tell your Mamacita where her partners for tonight’s match are?
James Crosbie: They… should be in the locker room getting ready.
KC smiles and pats the interviewer on the head like a dog and then walks away from him, her smile immediately fading and she rolls her eyes. She begins to make her way down the corridor before reaching the locker room and she opens the door to find Internet Champion, Jack Morrison and Endurance Champion, Akane Yamashita as they’re finishing up getting ready for their match. The first one to notice Kara’s arrival is Jack’s manager SHIRO. The older, Japanese man, sporting his trademark flat cap, grins big and lets out a laugh.
SHIRO: Heeeeeeeey! There she is. Whole team’s here now babay!!! Yo, kid! You about ready?!
He shouts the last part to Jack Morrison who, in the background, is standing with his back to the camera as he pulls his leather jacket up and onto his shoulders, revealing a grinning skull motif wearing a jagged crown with the words “RIPPER KING” emblazoned over it. As Jack turns, he’s already dressed to go in his ring gear. He’s just missing one thing as he quietly extends an arm out to the side and SHIRO remembers he’s holding Jack’s title. The older man moves in and slides the belt over Jack’s arm onto his shoulder, giving his student a slap on the back before Jack finally turns and walks into the foreground.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: Well, well, WELL! If it isn’t the Global Heavyweight Champion herself: THE Kara Carbajal! I must say it is an extreme pleasure to finally meet you, champ. To what do I owe the honor? Clink?
On the last word, Jack drops his title off his arm and into his hand in a rather smooth display before holding it up between himself and Kara. The Mamacita of Mayhem glances down at the Internet Championship in The Ripper’s hand and she shrugs before removing her own championship from over her shoulder and she clinks her title with Jack’s.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Are we ready?
During the entire conversation between the other two champions, the third that was seemingly absent was stood at the opposite end of the room, looking as if she was completely minding her own business, combined with the intent to just be calming down from what she had to deal with earlier in the night. Most of the words from the others just bounced off the walls. Akane only looked up from where she was when hearing the emphasis on Kara’s “we”. Despite still changing from a blood patterned suit to her ring gear, Akane had picked up her title belt and walked over to the pair of champions.
Akane Yamashta: Ā... Hai! Kore o yarou.
(Ah…Yes! Let's do this.)
The Void Queen looks from one champion to the other before nodding.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I want to make one thing perfectly clear to you both before we go out there. I don’t trust either of you. Neither of you are a member of mi familia. So when we go out there… we stay out of each other’s way and we do our jobs by showing our opponents tonight why we are the champions, not them. Do I make myself clear?
Jack puts a hand to his heart, feigning shock.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: Dear Kara, you wound me, darling! No trust amongst comrades?
Jack does a half turn back towards SHIRO who’s standing back out of the way. The man shrugs his shoulders and gives Kara the Han Solo “me?!” gesture as Jack turns back towards Kara and Akane.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: This isn’t about your ol’ mate Miggles is it? You know that was nothing personal. Just business, eh?
He nods to the Internet Championship on his shoulder.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: Had to protect what’s mine, same as you two. Let’s not dwell on the past, eh? We’re all on the same page here, no sense bickering amongst ourselves. We’re the respective champs. Those three aren’t. Let’s all agree that tonight will be just a little bit of a sneak peek at what’s in store come Destiny.
Clutching onto his title, he throws his other arm out in a welcoming gesture of “who’s with me?”
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: I think we all can agree on that, can’t we?
A good amount of the spoken words were just going in one ear and out of the other for Yamashita, but could understand the general point of the conversation that was going on. Looking down at the floor for a second then looked back up to more so focus on KC just for the moment.
Akane Yamashita: Watashi wa anata no koto o shirimasenshi, anata mo watashinokoto o shirimasen. Anata ga watashi o shinrai shite iru no to onaji kurai, watashi mo anata o shinrai shite imasu?
(I don't know you just like you don't know me. So, I'll simply trust you as much as you trust me. Fair enough?
Akane had turned to Jack next, keeping the same expressionless static look on her face.
Akane Yamashita: Sore wa anata ni mo atehamarimasu. Soshite anata no... Yūjin... Mono... Kare ga soko ni modottekita to shite mo.
(That goes for you as well. And your friend…thing…whatever he is back there.)
Motioning along with her words. Yamashita then looked at the two of them when her eyes finally wandered over to her own championship on her shoulder, then sighed.
Akane Yamashita: I have plenty of things going through my head, mainly making sure that Sean Parker’s face looks like a crushed strawberry whether it's before or at Destiny. Let's get along for today and then if we have any issues, we can all meet in the parking lot after the show. Alright?
Akane followed up her words by reaching her free hand out with the shape of a fist, still stained with blood from earlier but she clearly didn't care. The Global Heavyweight Champion looks down at Akane’s fist before looking back up at her and then to Jack as she slings her championship over her shoulder.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Let’s just get this over with and take care of business.
The Shieldmaiden then turns to face the locker room door and makes her way towards it ready to head for their match.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: Off to the races, ladies!
Jack follows after Kara along with Akane, SHIRO bringing up the rear with a look of confusion on his face.
SHIRO: …Hey, what did she mean by “thing”?!
And with that, we cut elsewhere.
Winter Mae: Wait… has Kara Carbajal literally just arrived?
Kyle Cassidy: When you’re the face of the brand, you can do as you please.
As Carbajal makes her way through the front of the arena, James Crosbie rushes onto the scene.
James Crosbie: Kara?! Kara?! Where have you been?! You’re late!

And with that, we cut elsewhere.

Kyle Cassidy: The Fight For Infinity Battle Royal is back, with the Gateway Championship is on the line! Who out of these 26 competitors will walk away with the big one?

Winter Mae: Regardless, it’s important for both the champions and their challengers to get their head in the game in this one! A single slip up here will at best cost either team some much needed momentum going into Destiny, and at worst even prevent them from making it to Destiny!
Jack Morrison is left in the ring as the starting member of his team, prompting Melissa Tasman to step up to start for her’s. Her and Morrison circle the ring around each other, seemingly ready to tangle up in this match! But Morrison decides to get cocky now, forcing a tag to Akane Yamashita instead and smiling as he climbs out of the ring! Tasman becomes frustrated, but doesn’t let it distract her from Yamashita, with the two going for a lock up! Tasman believes she has the upper hand in the form of a Side Headlock!

But Yamashita is tougher than that, taking Tasman right back down with a European Uppercut! She backs into her corner, waiting for Tasman to get up for a huge move! But just then, Jack Morrison tags himself in again, looking to take advantage of a weakened Tasman! He clobbers her with a shot to the back, before throwing her shoulder first into the ring post and leaving her to crumble onto the apron! He pulls Tasman up by the hair, before pulling through the ropes and hanging her there, seemingly looking to perform a Rope Hung DDT! But Tasman fights back, getting her legs off the ropes and pushing Morrison up for a Stun Gun against the top rope! She follows up, getting around Morrison and dropping him with a German Suplex! Both of them are down, with each of them inching their way towards their corner! They both make it there, with Tasman tagging in Nami Megumi, while Morrison tags Akane Yamashita back in!
Megumi and Yamashita come face to face now, with the two meeting each other in the ring for the first time since Invasion: Toronto! The crowd reaches a fever pitch as they circle the ring around each other and go after each other with strikes to the head! Megumi ends up getting the upper hand, nailing Yamashita with an especially stiff shot that turns her around! She follows it up, dropping her with a Backstabber! Megumi tries to pull Yamashita back to her feet, but she shoves her away before tagging in Kara Carbajal! Megumi falls back into the corner, with Sean Parker getting the tag on her back! Carbajal sees this, immediately looking to go after Parker with a Spear! But Parker reverses, leaping over Carbajal and leaving her to run into a Knee Strike from Megumi! She follows up, nailing Carbajal across the chest with a Roundhouse Kick! Parker looks to follow up now, going for a Thrust Kick to Carbajal, but she catches the leg! Megumi looks to intervene now, jumping to the second rope and looking for a Springboard Crossbody! But Carbajal reverses, taking Megumi with a Big Boot! She gets Parker into position now, dropping him right on top of Megumi with a Two-Handed Chokebomb! Pin by Carbajal to Parker!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Shoulder up by Parker! Carbajal looks to finish him off, pulling him right off the mat and into position for a Jackhammer! But Parker tilts the balance in his favor, landing on his feet behind Carbajal before nailing her with a Superkick behind the knee that sends her kneeling! He jumps to the second rope now, before eventually making his way to the top rope and launching off for a Super Springboard Cutter! He goes for the pin on Carbajal now!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
NO! It gets broken up by Jack Morrison! Parker makes it to his feet, coming face to face with Morrison for the first time in a while! The two begin to exchange strikes, with Morrison getting the upper hand as he drops Parker with Stabbing in the Dark! Superkick connects! Tasman interjects now, dropping Morrison with a Double Knee Facebreaker! At this point, the referee has lost all control of this match, opting to just throw it out as a no contest!
Winter Mae: This one has gotten out of hand, and the referee has to call it here!
Kyle Cassidy: The match may be over, but I hardly doubt the competitors in the ring care!
The bell rings, but the action in the ring doesn’t stop, with Tasman making it to the top rope and leaping off onto Morrison with the Tasmelian Devil! Corkscrew Body Splash to the Internet Champion!

She pulls Parker to his feet again, looking to finish him off for pride as she gets him up for the Jackhammer! But just then, Nami Megumi comes back, taking Carbajal down with a Spear of her own! Everyone is down inside the ring, with Megumi looking towards the top rope! She makes the climb up, before landing on Carbajal with the Tidal Wave! Diving 630 Senton connects! Despite the match being over, Megumi still hooks the leg, just to see if she could do it!
Crowd: ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE!!
Winter Mae: We might wanna get used to this sight, Kyle! Because if Nami Megumi can repeat that in Dallas, we may just have a new face on Monday nights!
Kyle Cassidy: Three seconds is all it takes for Nami Megumi to cement her legacy! I said it before and I’ll say it again, Winter: Destiny III is about to be a movie!
Megumi’s music begins to play and she stands tall over all the fallen competitors as we fade to black!
