Mayhem opens with a wide shot of the Zion Wrestling Stadium crowd as the opening reel wraps up.
Kyle Cassidy: Welcome to Zion Wrestling Monday Night Mayhem ladies and gentlemen! Kyle Cassidy here along with Winter Mae and have we got a show for you tonight!
Winter Mae: We’re one week removed from our Mayhem special “The Final Episode” but it is just the beginning of a new chapter for so many on the roster! We can’t wait to see what the future brings!
While commentary goes on, the camera cuts backstage where the fans give a pop as they see Mayhem’s representation of The Kingdom coming into the arena with their bags. Both rocking their Kingdom t-shirts and moving with a sense of purpose. A second later, Meliana Rodrigo comes into the frame with her microphone to get a word.
Meliana Rodrigo: Morgan! Nami! Hello! May I get just a quick–?
Morgan stops her with a hand over the mic then asks her to wait with a finger.
Morgan Payne: Ayy nah, hold up.
She passes her bag to Nami Megumi.
Morgan Payne: Ayo, take dis for me? I’ma catch up.
Morgan and Nami dap up and the latter continues on towards their locker room as Morgan turns back to Meliana and gently takes the microphone from her and starts walking again.
Morgan Payne: Lemme borrow dis for a minute sweets. I’ma bring dis back. Promise! Ayo, you lookin’ fine as hell tonight! Gahdamn!
Meliana can be seen blushing a little as Morgan turns her attention ahead of her and motions with a finger to the cameraman.
Morgan Payne: You come wif me blud. Ayo can yinz hear me aht there?!
The Orlando crowd can be heard cheering in response as the camera follows Morgan through backstage, making her way towards Gorilla with a brisk pace to her step. She throws the curtain aside and keeps walking. The camera man almost losing her before coming through the curtain and following her through the production room.
Morgan Payne: Ayy, whatchinz up to Orlando?
Crowd: Whatchinz up to?!
Morgan shakes her head as she moves to the curtain leading out into the entryway. She throws it aside with the cameraman hot on her heels and they come right out onto the stage in front of the massive audience.
Morgan Payne: Nah, I ain’t here dat. WHATCHINZ UP TO ORLANDO?!
Crowd: WHATCHINZ UP TO?!
Morgan Payne: ’Nother fuckin’ day yeah? Bear wif me for a minute cause I got a lot t’get off my chest tonight. Yanno, I had a pretty damn good first year here in Zion. On bet. I came to wrestle some of tha best. I did wrestle some of tha best. I got tha attention of some heavy hitters without even really tryin’. Shit, I became Global Heavyweight Champion damn near right in tha gate. Dat was just four months after I dropped tha NFW World Championship. Speakin’ o’which!
She turns towards the camera as she back walks down the ramp towards the ring and points.
Morgan Payne: Shout aht current and new champion, Jessi Ozborne. I see you girl. Nothin’ but love, on bet!
The crowd pops again, even starting a brief “PAPI” chant which Morgan pauses to look at the camera and motion to the crowd with the mic before continuing.
Morgan Payne: Now! Wif all dat said, I can say I’ve had a pretty damn good career as a professional wrestler. Shit, few years back at one point, I was walkin’ arahnd totin’ tha SPLAT Multiuniversal championship and tha NFW Silver Mountain championship at tha same time. An’ I set records durin’ dat time. Don’t believe me? Look it up! HOWEVER, COMMA!
Her index finger shoots up over her head as she reaches the end of the ramp and walks up the steps onto the apron before entering the ring.
Morgan Payne: I can’t help but be a lil bothered by tha obvious fact dat there’s people in dis business dat think I’m at tha tail end of my career. They see everything I’ve done since I broke out into NFW, everything I’ve done since I came here to Zion. Women’s TV champion. HYBRID Fusion champion. Multiuniversal champion. Silver Mountain champion. World champion. Global Heavyweight champion. 2022’s Match of the year, Wrestler of the year, Comeback of the year. Yeah, trust me. I done a lot. I know dat. I feel accomplished. But for some reason dat seems to make some people think I ain’t nothin’ more than a rung on a ladder. Nothin’ more than a steppin’ stone t’elevate themselves up tha chain. And they see what I’m goin’ through in life ousside tha ring now - cause let’s be real ain’t shit private anymore wif social media. But they see dat and they think “ooh she’s an easy target. I can kick The Ace while she’s almost dahn.”
Morgan falls silent and looks directly into the camera from inside the ring. The corner of her mouth quivers with a dark, growing smirk as she slowly shakes her head.
Morgan Payne: Lemme make somethin’ crystal clear t’alla yinz right now… If dat’s whatchinz see when you look at me? You dunno who tha fuck I really am. You dunno what tha fuck I’m fully capable of. An’ I ain’t just talkin’ abaht whuppin’ asses and winnin’ titles - somethin’ which I plan on doin’ for a very long time yet. Shit, I only been out tha indies for six years. Been wrestlin’ in total for ten. Nah see, what I’m talkin’ abaht is…I ain’t ever backed dahn from a challenge…never have…never will. I’ve proven dat much just as much as I’ve proven dat I am one of tha best to ever step into a ring. I am the Ace of tha New Frontier, hell of Zion, hell and dis ain’t even my words, I been called tha Ace of professional gahdamn wrestlin’! I am Morgan. Fucking. Payne. I am Exceptional. I…Am...
She pauses, pointing to herself as she lets those final words sink in as she stares into the camera.
Morgan Payne: I Am… And when someone wants to step up and face me in dis ring, all yinz gotta do is say the word. Yinz want a fight wif da Ace? You got it. But when things start gettin’ personal? You start sneakin’ me ousside my home? Arahnd my family? You start diggin’ up my buried past an’ act like we’re done when you say we are?
Another pause as she shakes her head slowly and clenches her jaw.
Morgan Payne: Nuh-uh…nah…we ain’t done. We just gettin’ started…Jinx. Yeah, I’m talkin’ t’you. You started dis….and I’ma finish it… An’ trust…on bet…it ain’t gonna end how you hopin’ for…
Morgan lowers the microphone and steps back towards the center of the ring….when the lights go out….
Not just the lights but seemingly everything in production! Commentary headsets go out. The microphones go out. Even the video wall above the stage goes out. It’s as if power to the entire arena, except for the cameras, has been cut off. The crowd can be heard talking amongst themselves as their phone lights come on, trying to get a look at what’s going on in the darkness. A moment later, commentary can be heard cutting back in.
Winter Mae: ”--gonna try to get things up and running.”
Kyle Cassidy: ”Wait, Winter. I hear you in my headset again!”
Winter Mae: ”Are we back up?”
Kyle Cassidy: ”I think so! I have no idea what just happened.”
At that moment is when the lights come back on and the crowd reacts in horror to find Morgan Payne lying face down on the mat, face down in a small pool of blood around her head. She is completely motionless but it’s a pretty good guess to what happened as, standing over the prone woman….Jinx, The Jestress looms over her with one foot on either side of her, gazing down at her from beneath her hood. Clutched in her right hand, down at her side is the same black baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire that she struck Morgan with the week before, fresh blood is smeared on the barbs as Jinx just stares down at her with a catatonic look on her face.
Kyle Cassidy: ”Oh my god!”
Winter Mae: ”Where the hell did Jinx come from?!”
Kyle Cassidy: ”Morgan Payne has been laid out in a puddle of her own blood!”
Winter Mae: ”We need to get some help out here now!”
Referees, security and the medical team come hurrying down into the ring, carefully pleading with Jinx to let them get to Morgan. They’re keeping a distance, seeing the bat in her hand. Jinx slowly lifts her head to look directly into the hard cam as that catatonic expression slowly forms into a relieved smile, with her eyes closing as she steps over Morgan and slowly, almost too leisurely for comfort, makes her way to the ropes and leaves the ring. The staff begin to check on Morgan as Jinx slowly makes her way towards the back before the camera cuts away.
We open backstage. Sitting on a packing crate is the loveable but deadly stuffed plushy penguin companion Wasley. Next to Wasley is a stereo. What’s about to happen next? You can probably guess. Music suddenly starts to come from the stereo. Namely, the opening chord of ‘Rasputin’ by Boney M. As the pace of the music starts to pick up we see Kimberly Williams herself dancing into the scene. The eccentric ginger is wearing her crimson red and black wrestling gear and she has her HKW Bloodlust and ZION Wrestling Hardcore Championship belts draped one over each shoulder.
“Kim! Kim! Kimberly!
Chaos causing death machine
There was a cat that really was gone
Kim! Kim! Kimberly!
Chaos causing death machine
You never know what she’s got goin’ on”
She spins around and kicks the stereo off of the packing crate. It lands hard on the floor causing it to smash and, obviously, the music to stop. Kim poses for a moment in front of the camera and takes a bow or two.
“See? I always keep my promises! I told my Kimmymaniacs that the happy go lucky fun loving Kimmy would be back this week and here she is! Last week I just needed to blow off some steam, I needed to make sure everyone knew where they stood with me. I am all for a challenge. I will never back down from anyone who wants to step up and fight me in a death match environment. Hell, I respect anyone gutsy enough to take me on in hardcore matches, a place where I thrive. What I do not respect are people who get involved in business that doesn’t concern them. That’s happened all too often lately with me. It happened in SCW and cost me my Underground Title. It happened twice lately here in ZION…but I dealt with the Disciplinarian. I made sure he knew his place.” Kimberly points a finger at the camera.
“But you, Calvin Faye, you needed a warning. You got involved in my business, business that didn’t concern you. Perhaps you thought I was still defending this Hardcore Title 24/7? That stopped after ZION reinstated this bad boy. As fun as it would be to fight all over parking lots and in restaurants and all the other fun places, we just can’t do that anymore. Those aren’t my rules, Faye!” Kimberly winks at the camera. “Come to think of it, I don’t have any rules!” She throws her head back and laughs.
“Hey! At least you did heed my warning…you listened to what I had to say, didn’t you, buddy? I said all you had to do was ask. I said that all you had to do was step up to the plate and I would gladly paint the town red in your blood. So here we are! Tonight on Mayhem in just a few moments my Hardcore Championship will be on the line! You and me in MY WORLD! MY RULES! MY HARDCORE DIVISION! Are you ready for this, Calvin? This is what you asked for and you are going to get it. You are going to get all of it…” she quickly glances over at her Hardcore Title belt that rests over her right shoulder, then she turns and looks back at the camera “...well, you are going to get everything but this, because you are going to have to damn well kill me to take this. Because the words of that song wasn’t just a parody for laughs…although I DO plan to slap them on a t-shirt and make a good profit off of the sales…those words are the god’s honest truth. I am a chaos causing death machine and you never know what’s going on in my head. No one knows what sick and sadistic yet beautifully chaotic ideas are running through my mind right now!” The Queen of the Death Match and reigning Hardcore Champion shakes her head.
“What I can say is that none of these ideas are good…at least they’re not good for you…for me, for all of my Kimmymaniacs in attendance tonight and watching from home, they are going to love every bit of this!” Kimberly picks up Wasley. “Come on, Wasley! It’s showtime!” Kimberly, with Wasley in tow, dances off screen, apparently towards the ringside area.
OPENING CONTEST: CALVIN FAYE VS KIMBERLY WILLIAMS ©
HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is a Hardcore Match…scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Vivian Blake: And it is for the Zion Wrestling HARDCORE! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Introducing first, the challenger…representing The Purge…from Las Vegas, Nevada…weighing in at 215 lbs…”Rock Hard”! Calvin! Faye!
And his opponent…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Boston, Massachusetts…weighing in at 120 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling HARDCORE! CHAMPION!...KIMBERLY! WILLIAMS!
Winter Mae: Kimberly Williams hasn’t had the same happy-go-lucky attitude lately that these fans expect of her! If you’re Calvin Faye, how do you feel going into this match?
Kyle Cassidy: This match could either go very well for Calvin Faye or very bad, and there’s no in between! Sure, a less than enthusiastic Kim could be easily thrown off her game, or she could be more focused on the slow motion destruction of her opponent! We won’t be able to tell how these elements will come together until the bell rings!
Calvin and Kimberly would square up, as Calvin gets her into a side headlock takedown. He wrenched her neck, though, Kimberly would move her boot to get some salt in her hand, as she tossed it into Calvin's eyes to free herself.
With him blinded, Kimberly would connect with a German Suplex. She would go outside to get a table and set it up in the ring. Kimberly pulled Calvin onto the table, before going to the top rope. She turns around, as Calvin hits the rope to make her stumble. He followed up with a fireman's carry slam into the table to pin Kimberly.
ONE…!
TWO…!
The Champion narrowly kicked out, as Calvin would scream at her. He would go out to get a chair, as Kimberly's animatronic raptor roared at Calvin. This sets him off, before hitting it with the chair and knocking it over to get showered in boos from the crowd. Going back into the ring as Kimberly was getting up, Calvin goes for a big overhead swing, she threads the needle with Morrigan's Wrath, a super kick that stunned him and causes Calvin to fall to one knee. She would then run the ropes and connect with the Shadowblade and cover.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…and STILL the Zion Wrestling HARDCORE! CHAMPION!...KIMBERLY! WILLIAMS!
Winter Mae: Kimberly Williams retains in what has been a wild match!
Kyle Cassidy: In hindsight, maybe it wasn’t wise to have this open the show! Do you see how much wreckage we’re gonna need to clean up after this?
Williams celebrates, going to the top rope and raising her title up in the air! She hops down, only to immediately be taken to the mat! The assailant of this attack gets up revealing themselves to be…Damian Simmons!
Winter Mae: What the—what’s this guy doing here?!
Kyle Cassidy: Damian Simmons is a Fusion talent! Seems like we have a lot of those invading the red brand these days!
Winter Mae: Yeah, but the only difference between this and last week is that the Hardcore Championship is still an interbrand title…and it looks like Simmons wants it…
Damian stands over a fallen Williams with his wife Katie joining his side! She gives out instructions as she points at Williams, with Damian getting her up and dropping her with the Sky Burial! Damian scoops up the Hardcore Championship, giving it an intense look as we fade!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!

RESULT: PINFALL (SHADOWBLADE)
Preeti: Every step we take is step closer to our goals. I'm sure you've heard these exact words before, whether it be some self-help guru or somebody trying to pull their friend out of a funk and convince them that effort always equals results. Usually? The two don't equate. People can work exceptionally hard and still not gain whatever it is they're after. I apologize if that seems to be a little bit of a downer, don't worry I'll bring the mood back up! Well at least for my wife and I, and you know how generous we are. We match energies. When the fans love us we give that love back to them twofold. Our celebrations are their celebrations. Good vibes and good energy all around.
The camera pulls back now and shows the speaker as of course Preeti Anand, her ring gear colorful and highlighted with gold embroidery. The jacket she has on over it even has silken scarves attached which flutter with every movement no matter how confined. She is perched on the lap of her tag partner and wife Mila Savage, who is smiling brightly at her, eyes focused on the sparkling of her gear and looking up at her pretty face now and then.
Preeti: Simple words, talking about those steps. I don't like that idea though that we have to simplify what we say. Maybe I'm just giving the wrestling fans more credit than most, but I think they understand me. They understand what it means to be exceptional, they understand that certain things are always going to be true. I tell you only the truth. Our team knows what it means to be champions. We worked very hard to get our first and it was unfortunate what happened to that company, but it doesn't change our level of skill and our level of dedication. We bring that here and we are not afraid to tell everyone how good we are. And on the inevitable day that we do gain our next taste of gold, our next set of championships, we will work just as hard to elevate them and make them something very special for this company. Zion Wrestling and you fans have given us a chance, we won't waste it when it happens and we will repay that faith in us a hundredfold.
Preeti pauses a moment and takes Mila's hand, casually squeezing her fingers with great affection before the pair of both turned to the camera and Mila nods firmly, agreeing with the words that her wife has spoken. It's also very clear that she's doing her best to hold in a fit of giggles, at least today she can't wander off because her wife is actually sitting in her lap to keep her in place for a moment.
Preeti: It's a promise that we feel good about delivering, a promise that we feel is achievable because at the end of the day we know what we bring to the table. It doesn't matter what any opponents might have to say about us. Our words are backed by action and the weight of the truth. We are happy to deliver a respectful match to respectful opponents, but that doesn't mean we don't know how to talk the talk when it comes down to it and we are sure as God made little green apples that we will run across those opponents that want to trash us. That's fine because we're ready and they don't understand what it means yet. They will though. Oh indeed they will. Now if you'll excuse us we have a match against The Dozers and we would hate to disappoint the fans by not bringing them the best entertainment possible.
Mila nods at this delivering a rather loud and expressive YEAH before Preeti slides off her lap and takes her hand again. The pair rush out of the room and the camera is left to focus on where they were sitting, noticing that there's a bit of glitter here and there before it fades to black.
“Wildest Dreams” By Taylor Swift begins playing throughout the Zion Wrestling Stadium and “Classy” Bianca Page walks out to a chorus of boos with a huge smile on her face.
Winter Mae: Oh brother not her again! She has a literal skip in her step.
Kyle Cassidy: I suddenly have the urge to go take a piss break.
Bianca casually walks up the ring steps and she yells at one of the Mayhem ring crew members to open the ropes for her. He hops up onto the ring apron, he opens the middle top and middle ropes, and Bianca enters the ring.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Who saw what happened on NFW Trauma on Saturday night? Hahahahahahahaha! It was fantast…
“Through the Fire and The Flames” by DragonForce begins playing throughout the Zion Wrestling Stadium and the crowd jumps to their feet as they begin cheering. Bianca’s eyes bug out as she looks toward the entrance way and begins to look around the whole stadium as she rolls out of the ring.
Winter Mae: Is he actually here this time?
The music begins to fade as the crowd begins to groan in anger.
Kyle Cassidy: What a bitch?!?!
Bianca begins laughing as she slides back into the ring.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Hahahahahaha! I got all of you fools again! You’re stupid! All of you. STUPID I say!!!
The crowd boos even louder as Bianca points and laughs at the crowd.
“Classy” Bianca Page: You all saw what I did to Travis on Saturday night, right? Travis won’t be around for a very, very long time and that is actually so much better for Zion Wrestling, NFW, and whatever other company door that he darkens. Nobody wants you anywhere Travis. Not even that sweet little daughter of yours. What's her name again?
Bianca thinks to herself and after a few seconds she snaps her fingers.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Oh yeah, that's right, her name is Desiree. How sweet, right? She already has a great stripper name.
The crowd jeers and groans in shock. Suddenly “Through the Fire and The Flames” by DragonForce begins playing throughout the Zion Wrestling Stadium once again.
“Classy” Bianca Page: What are you doing?!?! Nobody wants to hear that stupid song. It is terrible!
Bianca goes to the ring ropes facing the entrance way. She begins yelling at the production crew around the ring. They are shrugging their shoulders as a scatter of cheers begin throughout the arena. All of a sudden from the crowd behind Bianca, Travis Levitt hops the railing, and slides into the ring, as the crowd erupts with cheers. Bianca looks up at the tron down at the entrance way and she sees the camera shot of Travis standing in the ring behind her. Bianca’s eyes bug out once again, her jaws dropping, as she slowly turns around to see Travis standing in the ring with a furious look on his face. Travis barely lets her react before he’s charging, but the moment he moves Page drops and rolls from the ring, scampering away up the ramp. Travis stands at the edge of the ring, watching as Page runs away, and Levitt finally bends down and picks up the dropped microphone, staring out at Page who has reached the entrance stage.
Travis Levitt: Bianca Page….
There’s a quiet menace to The Dragon’s voice now, as he stares out at Page. The Dragon doesn’t move from where he is standing and he slowly starts to talk again.
Travis Levitt: Twice you’ve tried to end my career. Last week you came out here, and you spoke so much shit, I’m surprised you don’t have brown tips in your hair. You brought up Davis, Carl, my career choices….I heard every word you said, and every single syllable just made me that much more set to destroy you.
Travis takes a step back now, his eyes still locked on Page for a moment as he catches his breath, glancing around at the Florida crowd and then back out at her.
Travis Levitt: I don’t whore myself out to wrestling companies, Page. I wrestle wherever and whenever I can because, and you may need to hold your shock on this one, I FUCKING LOVE WRESTLING! I go everywhere I can, in front of any fans I can, because there is NO better feeling in this world, then putting on an incredible show for these fans. What you call ‘darkening’ is really just me trying to do what I LOVE to do ANYWHERE I can do it. See, you use the wrestling business as a fucking prop to make yourself relevant. To try and make yourself famous. What's the matter Bianca? Daddy not give you enough cuddles as a baby? Need to find that love somewhere else? How about a therapist’s chair you FUCKING PSYCHO!
Travis breathes hard for a moment and then lets out that deep breath as he shakes his head, pointing out at Bianca with a sigh.
Travis Levitt: And that was just the shit you talked last week. I thought you couldn’t sink any lower. You try to end my career with a lead pipe, attack me at Trauma with a steel chair, and then come out here tonight and mock these fans with the same tired joke two weeks in a row. All of that Pissed me off. But then……then you mentioned Desi.
Travis pauses for a moment, and his head lowers as he looks down at the mat. The hand holding the microphone as he starts to pace the ring for a moment, but then raises the microphone while looking out at Bianca.
Travis Levitt: There are…..You can’t just…..
Travis just fucking stops for a second. Hands falling to his side and head dropping. Levitt slumps to a crouching position in the ring. Hands raised to hold behind his head, and he just crouches there for a moment. The only sound being heard is the heavy breathing through his microphone before finally he looks up. His eyes are red, and he grits his teeth as he manages to raises the microphone again, speaking out through strained breaths.
Travis Levitt: My daughter is my world, Bianca. And she has seen me in far far worse states then you could EVER leave me in. The fact I get to wake up every morning, do what I love for a living, and despite everything I have put her through, know that my daughter loves and supports me no matter what? That is all I ever need. Desiree is twice as mature as you are, and she’s half your age. I hope someday, Bianca, you can find someone that can give you that support
Travis stares for a moment longer and then rises again, stepping back to the ropes, and leaning out over them as his gaze turns back to the angry look from before.
Travis Levitt: Because you’re going to need it, getting in and out of the wheelchair I’m about to leave you in for the rest of your FUCKING life! I’m done with your shit. I’m done with your attacks. I’m done with being your scapegoat because you lost ANOTHER fucking man from your life! YOU may have started this war, but you better BELIEVE I am going to fucking END IT! You messed with The Dragon, Bitch! PREPARE TO GET BURNED DOOOOOOOWN!
And to a THUNDEROUS pop from the crowd, Levitt absolutely SPIKES the microphone into the canvas. The Dragon is all sorts of fired up as he finally breaks his gaze from Bianca, turning to waves his fans at the crowd, Mayhem’s faithful roaring for him, as he laps up to a middle rope, egging them on, turning to point right at Bianca and making a throat slash gesture that Page simply scowls at and then heads backstage.
Winter Mae: The Dragon is ALL fired up and it can only be a matter of time before he gets his hands on Bianca Page again!
Kyle Cassidy: You don’t ever mess with a man’s family. Travis won’t forgive that one easily!
MATCH #2: CHALK OUTLINE ANGELS VS THE DOZERS
This match is a very quick one, with Mila using her strength to immediately take Bull down with a Shoulder Tackle! Bull is surprised by this, seemingly not believing that anyone could withstand the power of Bull Dozer! He gets up determined to prove this, only to immediately get taken down by another Shoulder Tackle from Mila! Bull gets up again, only to take a Back Body Drop from Mila this time! Mila tags in Preeti, with the two working together to take him down with El Mayarah! Preeti gets the pin and secures the win for the duo!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…Chalk! Outline! Angels!
Winter Mae: Mila and Preeti secure another win for themselves on the Mayhem brand!
Kyle Cassidy: They’re proving very well why they belong in that #1 spot, Winter! What a performance!
Before Mila and Preeti can celebrate for two long, they’re suddenly taken down by Ravyn and Olivia Nightshade! Code Black hammer away at the couple, bashing them with strikes aplenty!
Winter Mae: Oh come on! Why now?!
Kyle Cassidy: Code Black are right behind these two in the rankings! But they don’t wanna be behind anyone! They wanna be #1! They wanna be on top! They’re getting whatever competition they have out of the way!
Ravyn and Olivia leave the ring, claiming another pair of victims as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (EL MAYARAH)
Lilith is pacing in front of her locker room waiting for the cameraman to arrive, as he approaches he is carrying the box Lilith had requested. She takes it from him putting it down next to her. She tilts her head to the side. She growls a bit then slams her hands on the door.
Lilith Parker: Clearly right when I was thinking after kicking her ass at Destiny, I would get a fresh start. You know I worked, and worked and worked to get to that spot. Kara is just as pissed as I am, but maybe it is fate that brought us back together. Kaya, you thought you were special. I loved my sister very much, now she's just made it personal. I have two requests, Doc if you see this, I know this wound hurts but it may be the one chance to free her from the grips of the Wolves and the dragon. I want you to referee, which leads to number 2.
Lilith goes over to the box and reaches in and pulls out a white rose. She looks at it, smiling a bit then looks over at the camera.
Lilith Parker: This is one of my family's special roses, for now though number 2 Kaya. Number 2 is simple, I want you in a Texas death match. No rules, no pin, this time I'm gonna be sure to put you in the ground. Even Ruslan won't be able to stop me. So my cards are on the table, doc referees this match and all she will be there to do is count to 10. Next time you'll think about it before you attack me. Bend the knee Kaya, maybe then you'll learn that I'm not just your baby sister anymore.
Lilith looks at the rose blowing on it, a white flame comes from it, she then drops it. The cameraman looks at it dropping to the ground, then sees Lilith walking away smiling.
MATCH #3: CALEB FOSTER VS TARYN MATTHEWS
VICTORY SERIES QUALIFYING MATCH

RESULT: PINFALL (SLAMMED CREATION)
We cut backstage to the office belonging to Mayhem General Manager, Katrina Lopez when the door bursts open and in marches the Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara “Killer” Carbajal who storms up to Lopez who is sitting behind her desk as she calmly rests her arms on the table in front of her and looks up at the mountain of a woman in front of her.
Katrina Lopez: May I help you, Kara?
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Did you see that bull shit at The Final Episode last week?!
The General Manager nods.
Katrina Lopez: Of course I did.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I pride myself on being a proper fighting champion and by proving that I deserve to hold this belt! And I do so by making sure that I go into title defenses on my own and handling business on my own! That little bitch Kaya had no right sticking her nose into MY business and now?! As a result of that?! Her dumbass of a sister continues to harp on about how I can’t beat her without help and it’s pissing me the fuck off!
Lopez sits back in her chair.
Katrina Lopez: And I suppose you’re here to present me with a solution to those issues?
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Yeah. First… you give me a match against that orange haired fucker so I can snap her in half so she’s no longer a problem! And then?! You can give Lilith a rematch against me… inside a steel cage so nobody else can get involved and she has no fucking excuses when I destroy her! Hell… I’ll even put my title on the line against her again!
The General Manager clasps her hands together in front of her mouth, tapping her lips with her index fingers as she ponders the champion's requests.
Katrina Lopez: No.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: The fuck do you mean, no?!
Lopez leans forward again.
Katrina Lopez: Exactly that, Kara. Listen… I understand your frustrations and as disappointed as I am over Kaya Parker’s involvement in our big championship match? She’s contracted to Fusion and I do not see Mr. Morgan agreeing to sign off on such a match without something in return, especially if your plan is to severely injure one of his talents…
The GM folds her arms.
Katrina Lopez: As for the rematch with Lilith? You should be more focused on who your next challenger will be out of Akane Yamashita and Liberty Hightower who are competing in tonight’s Main Event to determine who that will be. So with that being said… is there anything else I can help you with this evening?
Carbajal snarls and her top lip twitches slightly as if she’s trying to hold back going off in a rage.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Fine! But just so you know?! Someone is going to suffer for this!
KC then adjusts the championship over her shoulder before turning on her heel and marching her way back out of the office as we cut elsewhere.

The cameras cut to another part of the backstage area of the arena. Miguel Ortiz was seen walking down the hall with a smirk on his face after getting involved in Caleb Foster’s match. He was heading back to The Void’s locker room when Tommy Green nervously got in front of him, cutting him off. Ortiz looked at Green with a raised eyebrow though the smirk never left his face, even as the interviewer raised his microphone.
Tommy Green: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m standing here with Miguel Ortiz of The Void. Miguel, just a little while ago, we saw you get involved in Caleb Foster’s Victory Series Qualifier match against Taryn Matthews.
Miguel Ortiz: Yeah, yeah…get to the point there, Green. Everyone wants to know why, am I right?
Ortiz rolled his eyes as Green looked at him, a look written across his face that told Miguel to just get it over with so they could both move on for the evening.
Tommy Green: Yes, that’s pretty much it. The fans of Zion want to know why you went after Caleb tonight.
Miguel Ortiz: Why did I go after Caleb Foster? Well for one…I’m in the Void, I’m the Mauler of Mayhem. I can do whatever the fuck I want to do. If you have a problem with that then tough shit.
Ortiz snatched the microphone from Green, waving the man away so that he could finish talking. Green looked exasperated and sighed before walking off.
Miguel Ortiz: I went after Foster because I’m sick and tired of people coming into this company thinking they’re going to get whatever they want. I don’t care if he’s a veteran of the sport or not. As far as I’m concerned? He’s a newbie trying to encroach on MY territory.
Miguel ran his hand through his hair, briefly licking his lips before he continued.
Miguel Ortiz: I’m sick and tired of being glossed over. Yeah, I’ve been on the new rankings as a team, but it’s time for the Mauler to become a singles champion again. I got a taste of it a year ago, and I’m hungry for more singles gold. I have absolutely no problems going through these idiots on the roster while I get what I deserve.
Miguel’s smirk came back to his face as he looked into the camera once more.
Miguel Ortiz: What sucks for you in all of this, Foster? You’re the first brick that I’ll be breaking on this little journey. You’re not prepared for the Mauler…no one ever is. The Void will be welcoming you to its darkness soon enough.
Miguel’s smirk was replaced by a cocky grin as he tossed the mic onto some equipment crates before continuing down the hall towards the team’s locker room.
MATCH #4: BECCA BLACK’S INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN CHALLENGE
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Vivian Blake: *The following contest is for the Internet Championship!*
Introducing first, from London, England, she is the NEW Internet Champion, Becca! Black!
Vivian Blake: Introducing next, from Galesburg, Illinois, Jimmy! Bones!
Winter Mae: Jimmy Bones, the scrappy young man that could from our sister fed New Frontier Wrestling! He seems to be here to try and make a statement and win the Internet Championship from Becca Black tonight!
Kyle Cassidy: This could be a huge opportunity for him! He may not have the best win-loss record in the sport, but he’s going up against a veteran in Becca Black! At best he wins the Internet Championship tonight, and at worst he gains some much needed experience from on of the pros!
The open challenge between the brand new champion and the mystery challenger begins with an offer of a handshake from Becca, a bright smile on the face of the champion. Jimmy responded by stomping down on the foot of Becca then hit a quick Arm Drag to send Black to the other side of the ring. Becca tried to run back forward but was met with another Arm Drag by Bones, followed up by rolling back to his feet to connect with a Dropkick to Becca that sent her rolling to the outside of the ring. Jimmy used the ropes as momentum to dive to the outside of the ring to look for a Suicide Dive, connecting to send Becca crashing down to the floor meanwhile Bones lands back on his feet!
Throwing Becca back into the ring, Jimmy didn’t wait around long enough to let the champion recover as Bones springboarded back into the ring to land another Dropkick to Becca! Black crawled to the corner to get some separation, Jimmy waiting for the champion to get back to her feet before running into the corner to be met with a boot from Becca to stop Jimmy right in his tracks. Becca threw a hard European Uppercut to send Bones back a few steps, then closed in to connect with a SUPERKICK! Becca knew this wouldn’t be enough so the champion picked the challenger back up to his feet, lifting Bones into a Fireman’s Carry position then dumped him down with a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Becca goes into the cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Bones gets the shoulder up! Becca shook her head in frustration, thinking that would’ve been enough to retain the Internet Championship. Becca then dragged Jimmy back up to his feet where he retaliated instantly, throwing a barrage of punches and chops to Becca. Black put an end to that with another European Uppercut, or she thought. Bones came back with a European Uppercut of his own, then rushed to the ropes to come back with a Shotei that sent Becca down to the mat! Jimmy rushed right to the top rope, diving back onto the champion with a Diving Moonsault that connected! Becca crawled back to the corner again but this time Bones was prepared, setting Becca up in the corner then hit a Rope Hung Dropkick! Jimmy ran to the ropes once Becca got up, connecting with a SLINGBLADE! Bones rolled back to hit feet, following up with a Running Neck Snap, once again rolling through to come off the ropes with a Basement Dropkick! Jimmy went into the cover this time!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Becca kicks out this time! Jimmy kept his cool, dragging Becca back to her feet then threw her towards the ropes to wait for her to come back, lifting Becca onto his shoulders. He was looking for Fuck Your Neck, but Becca slipped out from behind and reversed with a German Suplex! Black got back to her feet, getting Bones into position for SHOWTIME- No! Bones reverses with a Back Body Drop! Jimmy then baited Becca in to run at him, where he attempted to lock in CROSSBONES- But Becca uses her strength to lift Jimmy up into the air then slammed him back down to the mat with a Powerbomb! Black got Bones back to his feet once again, setting him up to spike him on the mat with SHOWTIME! Becca with the cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Vivian Blaker: *Here is your winner, and STILL the Internet Champion, Becca! Black!*
Winter Mae: Becca Black retains in a star-making performance for Jimmy Bones!
Kyle Cassidy: Yeah, but Black isn’t interested in making stars! She’s more interested in crushing them, and that’s exactly what she did tonight!
Black celebrates, turning around to see Reina Hamada on stage, slow clapping for her as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (SHOWTIME)
The scene opens with Zachary Porter in his familiar setting for addressing the Zion Wrestling faithful. He is sitting in the stairwell. He has on his leather jacket, black wrestling trunks and black boots. A heavy sigh escapes his lips.
Zachary Porter: I’ll admit. The minute I found out about ANOTHER chance encounter with Nami Megumi---
Not exerting any effort to conceal his displeasure he rolls his eyes.
Zachary Porter: --I wanted to drive my fist through the computer screen. Again? Faced her in a fatal four with Sean and Miguel involved. Ran into her at Madness. Faced her in the World Cup. Last year we had two singles matches prior to War Games. How would you feel if there was ONE person, no matter how much you try, you can’t escape? Almost makes you want to pull your hair out...
Zach runs his right hand through his hair. Thankfully he doesn’t try to pull out any hair.
Zachary Porter: The worst part of being reminded she exists is remembering how she laughed when she thought I quit professional wrestling. Some would argue I deserved it after being what many would consider a cold hearted bastard ever since being drafted to Mayhem one year ago, still sucks, regardless of my personal feeling for Nami I wouldn’t laugh if she up and quit.
Would I be happy about no longer seeing her face? Sure. Won’t deny that. It takes a special level of classlessness to publicly tweet out how happy you are about someone going through a crisis. Pro wrestling has become my life. If I had not come back, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. And that bitch would have been happy with me wallowing in my own misfortune?
Zach shakes his head.
Zachary Porter: In my view, Nami did get exactly what she deserved at Destiny III. Hell, I’ll even go a step further, that girl doesn’t belong in the Kingdom. Not because she lacks ability. I can’t even deny that. Compared to the other esteemed members of that family, Nami is classless. She lacks any real honor. She’s a fraud. Not shocked, being a fraud runs in the Megumi family, lets ask ISIS over on Fusion how treacherous the Megumi family truly is...
As the crowd’s venom for what Zach has to say intensifies, Zach holds up his hands.
Zachary Porter: I know, I promised I’d be nice; for that I don’t apologize. I’d rather be honest about my feelings for Nami then present myself to you fine people pretending the year plus of Nami being a thorn in my side hasn’t happened. Nami, one thing is for certain, we’re going to have a banger. I could play the role of gatekeeper, kinda my thing these days. Ask Jack Morrison. Rest assured, if I lose, I won’t quit. I won’t take my ball and go home. I’ll just look forward to KC killing your dreams again. Not gonna lie, I’d rather be the one to put you in your rightful place, your title hopes being lost in the void. See you out there.
Zach stands up. He walks off as the scene fades to black.
Nami Megumi: Zach... Zach... The world has finally thrown us back together and this match is definitely another important match for us and I want to win this match to get closer. Going back to being a challenger, obviously winning this match would be the first step that would bring me one step closer, but I don't know who would be the one that would be closer. between you and me Because I know that we both want to be champions and this is another opportunity for both of us to become challengers again. And I'm saying this as someone who came out completely heartbroken in Destiny III. You know, Zach, I'll do whatever it takes to be a challenger again. I think this will be another opportunity for me. And it's bad luck for both of us because if anyone loses this match, I think it will be a long time before the opportunity comes back to both of us. I know you want to beat me too, and I really want to beat you because I want to go face Kara Carbajal so I can erase my shame. To this day I still reflect on what happened to me. But I think this is what I call fate because only one of us will get our wish fulfilled. So I want you to know that I didn't come back here to fail. I will beat you and let Kara Carbajal know that I am not giving up and that I have always said that one day I will be a challenger again. And you will be the one to stop me? Sometimes you can, so tonight is the match that will decide our fates. I also want to be a winner. And of course I want to beat you in one more match to show you that I'm superior to you. Zach and I will be the ones to stop you in your tracks tonight.
Nami Megumi: I know Kara Carbajal will definitely be watching this match. Kara easily beats me at Destiny III. She'd probably be laughing at me if I finally said I'd do whatever it took to return as a Challenger. you one more time So tonight, Zach, this will be another important match for both of us. I don't care what you think of me, but I can tell you that I'm not here to give in to anyone, not even you. I'm here to salvage everything I failed at last season. I don't care if you guys are laughing at my failures or not but I think everything has its time and maybe this Maybe it's time for me to recover from everything I've failed at, so tonight is the beginning. And Zach, you're the first enemy standing in my way, so that's what... All I want now is to beat you.

Nami celebrates as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (TSUNAMI)
Winter Mae: We’re moments away from our main event, but next week promises to be a huge card in its own right!
Kyle Cassidy: That’s right, next week, we are opening with a huge one! Miguel Ortiz may be a bit far down the rankings, but after making his intentions known at the expense of Caleb Foster, he’ll have an opportunity next week to change that! The Mauler of Mayhem goes one-on-one with Gateway Champion Jenna Sharpe in a Championship Eliminator Match! If he wins, he’ll get to jump the line, and become the #1 contender for the Gateway Championship!
Winter Mae: Someone who’s likely also fiending for championship gold is the former Internet Champion, Melissa Tasman! She hasn’t been seen since losing her title last week at the hands of Becca Black! But she may be able to trade up if she can defeat Bianca Page in a Victory Series Qualifying Match!
Kyle Cassidy: And the moment you’ve all been waiting for, who will be in the Wildcard Qualifier next week? It has been decided, and Jinx, The Jestress will face off once again with Morgan Payne for the opportunity to join Nami Megumi, Taryn Matthews, and the winner of Page vs Tasman in the Mayhem Victory Series Match!
Winter Mae: And in our main event, Code Black has been bent on the destruction of Mayhem’s Tag Team Division ever since returning to action last week! Now they have a chance to get one step closer to ruling the division once and for all! They take on Chalk Outline Angels in Tag Team action, with a shot at the Global Tag Team Championships on the line! All that and more goes down next week on Monday Night Mayhem!
