OPENING CONTEST: VLADISLAV vs Yung Vertebrae
As the bell rang, VLADISLAV looked down at Yung Vertebrae as if to ask if he was really the best they could do. Yung tried getting in VLADISLAV’S face, but he came up painfully short…literally. Yung lifted his head to look VLADISLAV in the face, but he was met with a shove to get him away from the other man for his troubles. Vertebrae took the shove as an insult and came back at VLADISLAV with, what Yung thought was, a hard punch, but it barely moved the former champion. VLADISLAV merely looked at Yung again before getting him up in a German suplex, sending the other man flying with ease. Vertebrae managed to get back to his feet only to nearly have his head taken off with a Hammer of Warsaw! VLADISLAV leaned down and pulled Vertebrae to his feet before lifting him into The Iron Curtain before going for a dominating pin.

WINNER: VLADISLAV
As VLADISLAV celebrates his victory, the titantron suddenly flickers to life and we see the Wasteland Tag Team Champions, Dietrich and Werner Kühn of Schadenfreude laid out and unconscious. Squatting down between the two is Father who slowly rises to his feet as VLADISLAV watches on.

VLADISLAV quickly exits the ring and races up the ramp and through the curtain, we pick him up backstage as he arrives on the scene where Schadenfreude are, and Father has disappeared. Before he has a chance to check on his fallen comrades, Samuel Lopez emerges from the shadows behind him and proceeds to begin choking out The Final Boss.
Matt Mears: What the-- where the Hell did Samuel come from?!
Ben Petrie: People should know by now that he could be lurking anywhere… nobody is safe with him and his sister around… even more so now that this Father guy is with them.
Samuel keeps the choke in as VLADISLAV tries with all of his might to fight out of it, but it’s too much for him to handle and he eventually fades and falls to the floor and Samuel goes down with him into a seated position and that’s when we see his sister, Sylvia also sitting down beside him cross-legged.
Matt Mears: These two freak me out, Ben.
Ben Petrie: I think that’s the point, Matt.
Samuel begins to stroke his hand through VLADISLAV’s hair, staring off into the distance along with his sister as Father then reappears and squats down and looks at the unconscious Final Boss.

The camera then slowly zooms in on Samuel’s cold, expressionless blank stare before we cut elsewhere.
Bea Carter: We have seen the fall of heroes and villains alike. Battles and wars over the field to claim their own prizes.
Petty trinkets mostly. Vanity, ego and arrogance.
Thats why I will ascend ib the Wasteland. I am not so weighed down by delusion or an illusion of prizes. When I earn my due, it will be because I struggled eveey inch of the way.
And Im fine with that. Struggle breeds greatness.
I will be the greatest, Kamila. Doyou hear me? I will shut you down and out from my path and I will be the one climbing.
Accept your helplessness.
MATCH TWO: Bea Carter vs Kamila Rose
As soon as the bell sounded to start the match, Kamila went after Bea with a vicious roundhouse kick that sent Carter stumbling back. She gripped where Rose’s kick connected, but Bea didn’t let that keep her stunned for long. Carter came back at Rose, hitting her with a DDT that left the other woman reeling for a few moments. Bea grabbed Kamila and went to whip her into the corner, but Rose countered, sending Carter to slam against the turnbuckles instead. With a smirk on her face, Kamila charged towards the corner, nailing Bea with a corner dropkick that shoved the other woman against the turnbuckles roughly. Carter grabbed at her back as she slowly made her way out of the corner. Rose came at the other woman again, looking for a discus elbow smash, but Bea was able to get out of the way at the last second!
Having evaded Kamila’s elbow, Bea managed to put some space between her and the other woman. As Rose turned around, Carter took off at full speed towards her, catching her with a devastating spear! Bea got back to her feet swiftly, and she immediately went for a standing moonsault, but Kamila got her knees up and into Carter’s ribs before the move could connect! Bea rolled away, groaning slightly as Kamila slowly began getting back to her feet, irritation showing on her face. Rose began making her way towards Carter, who was using the ropes to pull herself up. The two women were face-to-face as much as they could be with the slight height difference between them. Kamila went to grab Bea, but Carter evaded her before quickly catching Rose with Mystery In Mayhem before going for the pin!

WINNER: Bea Carter
Backstage, Logan Traeger is watching some old match and promo highlights from his opponent for this evening, Tater. As the camera pans around from his back to his side, the focus on his facial expression becomes paramount, as Logan looks on equal parts bewildered and annoyed.
Logan Traeger: See, this is what I am talking about. This lack of proper English, coupled with a complete lack of concern for physique. Zion, are we just complacent in being a participatory company? Are we? Is this what we wish our brand to be represented by, Wasteland? Because now it seems more like we are on the island of misfit toys.
Logan emphatically powers off the video before him, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before speaking once more, as if regaining the composure he has left.
Logan Traeger: These are the caricatures that reel in the kids, but turn away the ones who throw the money on the table that finally makes its way into our pockets. Tater? Seriously? A cartoon act with the IQ of a child, and we just promote and let him sop up the adulation like he is some sort of role model. (mocking tone) But Logan, he's so funny and he can fight, and he has a comical name... yadda yadda yah... blah...blah... blah. It's embarrassing, he's humiliating, and it is a blatant slap in the face of true talent and star power which commands the room when they walk in, such as myself. I call myself the Regulator, but tonight, I'm going to dub myself the Cleaner. Tonight, I begin to cleanse this roster. I will show you all that Logan Traeger is synonymous with finality and success. I am the driving force behind the restructuring of Wasteland. I'm not going to participate in this charade, and I refuse to acknowledge, with any integrity, Tater as a serious threat to my ascension.
Logan leans into the camera a little further, letting his piercing gaze set the expression for the tone and severity of his words.
Logan Traeger: Zero tolerance and no mercy for the weak and inconsequential. This has become a game hunt, and after tonight, Tater will be worth nothing except a trophy in the victim collection.
Logan shoves the camera away and walks off confidently, playing no games and readying himself for a decisive victory.
MATCH THREE: TATER vs Logan Traeger
TATER and Logan starred each other down as the bell sounded. At first, neither man moved, but Logan took the first shot at TATER with a hard DDT. He spiked the man down ferociously, looking to make a statement in the start of the match. TATER shook his head but got back to his feet, moving to catch Logan with a smooth dropkick, sending Traeger stumbling back from the force. Back up on his feet, TATER ran at Logan, looking for a discus punch, but Traeger managed to dodge it at the last second! Traeger smirked as TATER turned to face him before Logan tried to take his head off with a beautiful discus clothesline! TATER shook his head again, letting out a couple of coughs from the impact to his throat, before pulling himself up again though he was starting to move a touch slower.
Suddenly finding a second wind, TATER rushed towards Logan, grabbing him for a side slam backbreaker. Traeger got back to his feet, this time being the one to move a little slower, but TATER didn’t let up on him. Logan was grabbed again, this time in a belly-to-belly suplex, being sent across the ring when he was released! Logan let out a hiss but got back to his feet after a few moments, his eyes not leaving TATER as the man came after him again. Traeger didn’t give him a chance to do anything before he went at TATER, managing to grab him and hit a swinging side slam backbreaker. TATER started to slowly get back up, but before he could get all the way to his feet, Logan managed to lock in the Sound of Silence! TATER fought against him, but all that did was make Traeger cinch the hold in deeper until TATER eventually passed out, unable to to continue fighting against the move.

Things come into focus and as they do we are treated to the parking lot. It is there where we can see an expensive pink convertible pulling up into the parking lot. Flashes from cameras begin to go off one after the other. This is when we are able to see the door to the car opening up and stepping out of the vehicle is none other than Crystal Caldwell. Boos immediately could be heard in the background, and that is when Crystal smiles as she smirks and pulls something out of the backseat. She shows off her NFW US Championship and she pats it as she looks deeper into the camera.
Crystal Caldwell: It’s amazing. Last week I dropped my feelings for all of the world to hear. I know views for this show instantly went up. Obviously I am a talk about star. I am must see, hell I am bringing in all of the viewers and I definitely am covering the 20s to 30s demographic. In order words people just can’t get enough of me and quite frankly I don’t blame them. I am Hollywood and an instant blockbuster the moment I step out of the vehicle and enter into the arena.
Crystal grins as she poses for the cameras and begins to speak some more.
Crystal Caldwell: Now to be honest I thought the moment that I shared my heart that I would find myself wanting to be used more. After all how often is it that a company gets to have ME on their roster?! Don’t answer that… The fact I am on Wasteland and I was brought over to be on this brand I was promised the entire world. In movie terms I was the CHOSEN ONE, I was the one meant to bring balance to the force, hell I am the modern day Anakin Skywalker. I am the true goat and despite all of the potential and everything that I have going for me this company just doesn’t know how to give me the limelight like I deserved. I hear the boos and honestly keep on booing. Keep the hate coming. You want to know who knows how to properly treat a lady?! NFW… Yeah that’s right I said it… Your girl is dominating the competition. She’s the US Champion. She’s dominating the competition and showing the true heart of a champion…
Crystal leans forward into the camera as she shakes her head some more and speaks her mind.
Crystal Caldwell: Yet here in Zion it hasn’t felt the same. I am on Wasteland and just like the name of this brand it truly has been a WASTE… I have been just walking around in mediocrity and for what?! Just because I am that much of a star that Oliver doesn’t know what type of goldmine I am?! Spoiler alert I am going to speak my mind because I am going to vent and TELL all of you idiots just how I feel. This isn’t Crystal Caldwell talking but this is Christina Rose Lopez Hilton Zdunich de Caldwell. Yeah I don’t care if I have to drop the government name on you but the fact is I am walking around in an absolute dump. I know all of you out there heard the mumblings that maybe it’s time to step back so that maybe I should mentor my niece and my children. I love Emily, I love my Brittany and my Brayden, hell I love my daughter in-law Sofia as well but at the end of the day. When it comes to wrestling in this very ring the only person that has ever been the most important to me has been myself. I have always put me first in a professional since and this is the very first time that I am ready to openly admit it.
Crystal paces around as she looks deep into the camera.
Crystal Caldwell: Ask Seleana, and ask Alexandra they will tell you that I take my career seriously. Outside of the ring I will proudly wear the hat of being a great wife, I will put on being an amazing mother, and other things but inside that ring it’s all about me. If Wasteland doesn’t know that they are sitting on a damn gold mine that’s on them but I am not going to step back and shut up. I am going to keep speaking my mind. I am going to keep on being that star and I will plant myself as the MOST important thing on this brand because I know I am. One might think it’s a waste but as long as I am getting exposure and speaking my mind that’s all that matters. I will become more important than any feud, any champion, or any main event. I will be the SINGLE focal point and I will make my own moves because that’s who I am. Tonight I have to face Cosmic and honestly she might beat me but I don’t care. I am still going to run my mouth. I am still going to talk the talk because I am the MAIN EVENT MEASURING STICK!!!
Crystal continues walking as she reaches into her purse and pulls out a ruler. She smiles looking at it.
Crystal Caldwell: As good as everyone MIGHT think they are they just don’t MEASURE UP! I am a star! I am a woman who owns her own movie studio. I was the star in the latest Murder Game on Splat. Hell I played the writer on the Wife, and my net worth makes me just about better than anybody on this brand anyway. How does a woman who got signed to Fusion to be in one of the first main events during Zach Porter’s reign get relegated to not even on a show?! It’s nonsense but honestly it’s all good.. Because I will keep putting on bangers and being an academy award athlete who carries people to blockbuster hits. Anyway I got a match to get ready for, let’s see how Cosmic measures up. Lights, Camera, Action, it’s showtime… See all of you later.
With that Crystal just pie faces the camera while her photographers snap flash after flash with their cameras as we go elsewhere.
MATCH FIVE: Crystal Caldwell vs Cosmic Tora Onna
As the bell sounded, Crystal and Cosmic began circling each other before finally locking up in the middle of the ring. The two women were near the same size and seemingly evenly matched, leaving it clear that there wouldn’t be an easy indication of who would win the power battle. Onna was able to get the upper hand on Caldwell after getting out of the lock up, catching her with a powerful dropkick. Caldwell ended up having to take a few steps back, gritting her teeth some as she did. Cosmic came at her, but Crystal was able to sidestep her only to nail Onna with a leg sweep, causing her to fall to the mat. Cosmic didn’t seem to let it get to her as she got back to her feet. She was determined to give it all in the match and wasn’t going to let that get to her.
Crystal went at Cosmic again, catching her with a snapmare that slammed her down to the mat once more. Before Onna could get to her feet on her own, Caldwell was pulling her up to them, quickly whipping her into the corner. Crystal started charging towards Cosmic, but the masked wrestler managed to roll out of the corner at the last second. Onna ran at the ropes and jumped off of them, hitting Caldwell with a vicious springboard crossbody. Cosmic jumped back to her feet, adrenaline running through her as she ran at and leaped off of the ropes again, this time hitting Crystal with a springboard dropkick! Caldwell managed to make it out of the corner, running at Cosmic, but the woman caught Crystal with Dance with the Stars! Onna looked at Caldwell for a moment before running towards the turnbuckles. She jumped to the top one before going for Celestial Wrath! The move connected, and Cosmic went for a pin on Crystal.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE…!!
WINNER: Cosmic Tora Onna
We open up backstage where we see Christina Olson pacing around in the hallway, a look of nervousness and fear on her face. It doesn’t take long for the blonde faerie, Lilith Meadows to walk into the shot. Christina immediately wraps Lilith in a hug, holding her tight. Eventually, Lilith breaks the hug, looking at Christina.
Christina Olson: Lil, I’m so sorry about yesterday. I really, really didn’t mean to hit you.
Lilith nods her head, grabbing Christina by the hand and squeezing it.
Lilith Meadows: We know you didn’t. We ain’t mad at ya. But now, you gotta focus because tonight we gotta be on the same page.
Christina takes a deep breath, looking Lilith in the eyes and nodding her head.
Christina Olson: Yeah, you’re right Lil. I can’t let last night stay in my head because right now, you and me, we’re one fuckin win away from gettin that tag title shot. All we gotta do is beat Mudd and Yennifer. Hell, for a brand new team, they’ve been really impressive. It’s gonna take everything we got if we wanna pull off the win here tonight.
Lilith just smiles, not letting go of Christina’s hand in hers.
Lilith Meadows: Yeah, the two of them individually are scary good and together, they’ve proven that they’re just as good. We know what we’re capable of together and honestly, it’s been way too long since we’ve held tag team gold. We’re gonna go out there tonight and do our very best to ensure that we get that chance comin outta this match. We got your back Chrissy just like we know you have ours when it comes down to it.
Christina Olson: You’re damn right I got your back out there, Lil. And we know Mudd and Yennifer are gonna bring the fight because at the end of the day, they just love a good old fashioned fight just like we do. The halls of Valhalla are gonna be lovin this one and we know they’ll be singin songs to all four of us. Tonight, let’s go out there and show them just how much we love a good a fight and leave it all out there for the fans and may the best team win.
