The broadcast for Fusion begins now.
Kaya Parker and ISIS are already inside the ring. The capacity crowd appears to have been showering them with boos prior to the broadcast airing. Neither member of the Genesis of Destruction (who also double as The Wolves of Odinn) appears phased by the disdain. Kaya brings the microphone to her lips. She is going to speak first.
Kaya Parker:Oh shut up, you know you love us. So Monday, that was a pretty riveting speech you gave Lil, and maybe just maybe something stuck. Or maybe I just heard the same story over and over again. You wanted answers like always, and I didn't want to give them. Sometimes you just need to accept fate for what it is and figure out how to move on. Me, I've just been scrambling your brains the last couple weeks. And sweet Maki, you little traitor, maybe you'll finally come to your senses. You don't leave a god, god leaves you broken. GOD leaves you on your back wondering what mistake did you make…
Kaya Parker looks to ISIS. The God of Destruction nods as the boos grow to a fever pitch.
ISIS:Zion universe... it used to sicken me when you cheer for an ingrate like Maki. I am no longer mad. You are all human. The blight of humanity is a failure to take accountability for one's actions. I was within my right to punish Maki for screwing up War Games. Did I take things a bit too far demanding a Steel Cage match? No. I acted as any God would. I held Maki accountable for her sins. Despite that, she allowed Nadia to attack me that very night. Did I hunt her down? Did I make her life a living hell? No. I opted to allow her, unencumbered, to walk her own path, little did I know, the path she took was harboring a grudge. For months she planned to screw me over. During that time I welcomed her back with open arms, I showed her the respect she deserved. And still, she stabbed me right in the heart. If there was any mistake I made, was not ending her existence when she allowed Nadia to humiliate me after our steel cage match.
ISIS:From this day forward, no more mercy. No more forgiveness. I will correct the mistake I made.
“Circus” by halocene begins playing, as Lilith walks out from the back waving at her sister and flipping off Isis. She is carrying a microphone with her, smirking pulling her sunglasses off, putting them on her shirt.
Lilith Parker: So that's what you really took from that? I wanted to know why my baby sister decided to be a cunt while I was in the hospital and she never did give me that. Instead she has her head so far up your giant ass, like some human centipede shit.
Lilith laughs as she points at the two of them.
Lilith Parker: No but seriously, you are right you've been scrambling me but at least I had time to recover. I've been thinking on it, rewatching all the moves. You think because you believe you are a God isis that people are just going to bow. Sure you've done some damage to my friends, in the end your just a mortal with an ego. I'm really good at squashing egos, aren't I, Kaya? Tonight instead of crushing one bitch ego, I'll crush two.
Lilith blows a raspberry at them. She dropped the microphone looking at Kaya and ISIS. Both ISIS and Kaya waste no time looking to make Lilith their victim. That is until...
Maki Megumi: I? I mean this is my business too this will be we will crushing two.
Maki Megumi spot in the ringside with the fans as the crowd giving her a echo loud cheers before she hops over the barricade before sliding into the ring.
Maki Megumi: This match isn't just your problem, Lilith, Kaya and ISIS are my problems that I have to crush as well because since I came out of Genesis Of Destruction, it's a problem I knew would happen. It also happened because someone was upset that I would make a better choice. I don't know if there's any need to speak up for ISIS because you've never given me anything. never give mercy Never giving me a place to stand or even an opportunity, you never gave me anything. But I'm not surprised that you would say something like that, but it's kind of funny. You should thank me for choosing to help you every time you came close to losing. I helped you every time you wanted to, but what happened after WarGames made me realize that Yuki said everything right, Queens Of Chaos said everything right. And to me you're a shitty god. I betrayed you at the perfect time. Because I can see that you won't give me anything. You concentrated your success on yourself alone. You use everyone as an enabler to help you succeed. You used everyone to help you win this match. You're on the verge of failure. You've succeeded, what have I got besides hate? I've had enough to become a person who has to do what you want. I've had enough of being such a pitiful person and here I am standing up against you and it's time for me to do it for myself. Tell me that my choice was wrong. ISIS and I want it. to destroy you I was happy to see you lose to Blaze Darling in front of me, but now it's time for us to face each other. And I will destroy a god that never existed like you.
Security is quick to get in position so the main event of tonight's show isn’t compromised. ISIS and Kaya aren’t impressed. Lilith has a smile on her face. And Maki continues to bask in the afterglow of her newfound acceptance from the fans.
Adam LaRue: Thank goodness officials came down when this did so they action didn’t get out of hand. Tonight’s main event should be a show stealer.
With the chaos quelled, for now, we transition to another part of the arena.
OPENING CONTEST: LUCAS BRANSON VS TERESA MORGAN ©
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: And it is for the Zion Wrestling NATIONAL! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Introducing first…from Chicago, Illinois…weighing in at 143 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling NATIONAL! CHAMPION!...TERESA! MORGAN!
And her opponent…representing Steel City Pro Wrestling…from Las Vegas, Nevada…weighing in at 210 lbs…Lucas! Branson!
Amber Westgate: Lucas Branson brands himself as the Luckiest Man Alive! He, however, wasn’t lucky enough to capture Steel City Pro’s Key to the City Championship at this past Sunday’s Affliction event! You should go out of your way to watch that whenever you can! But he may just have an opportunity to turn his luck around tonight!
Adam LaRue: Luck is skill met with opportunity! From what we’ve seen of this young man, we know he has the skill! And being able to take a title from Zion Wrestling back to The Mill with him would be a hell of an opportunity! It all comes down to how healthy the marriage between those two things are tonight, but when it comes to that National Championship, Teresa Morgan might as well be a divorce lawyer!
Lucas started off strong, aiming a quick snap suplex at Teresa, who gracefully rolled out of the ring to evade. Not wasting a moment, Lucas charged after her, but Teresa met him with a surprise Hurricanrana, flipping Lucas over onto the hard mat. As the match progressed, Lucas regained control with a well-timed Side Neckbreaker, followed by a series of punishing Kicks to Teresa while she was kneeling. Teresa struggled to her feet only to be met with Lucas's LET IT RIDE which sent her crashing into the corner. Lucas seized the opportunity for a pin.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-!
Determined to secure the win, Lucas went for his CRAZY EIGHTS, a breathtaking moonsault side slam, but Teresa countered with a precise step-up enzuigiri, stunning Lucas and giving her a much-needed breather. The momentum shifted back and forth, with Teresa showcasing her versatility by executing a series of suplexes, keeping Lucas off balance. She followed up with a high-impact diving leg drop. Lucas managed to pull himself up by the ropes, trying to shake off the continuous onslaught he had just experienced. Sensing victory slipping away, Lucas retaliated with a spinning heel kick, followed by his devastating exploder suplex.
Lucas then signaled for the TRIPLE 7S, but Teresa ducked under and responded with a powerful spinebuster, leaving Lucas winded and vulnerable. With the crowd on their feet, Teresa climbed the top rope, ready to deliver Stormy Love, but Lucas rolled out of the way at the last moment. Both competitors staggered to their feet, and Lucas attempted another high-risk move, the RABBITS FOOT but Teresa countered with the 1997 CT01, connecting perfectly. Lucas crumpled to the mat, and Teresa quickly covered him for the pin. The referee slid to the mat to make the count, and the fans in the crowd held their breath.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…and STILL the Zion Wrestling NATIONAL! CHAMPION!...TERESA! MORGAN!
Amber Westgate: Lucas Branson gave it his all tonight, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the champion in her first defense!
Adam LaRue: A message has been sent tonight through both sides of the Forbidden Door! Andrew Payne has no doubt seen this performance by Branson tonight with ideas swirling his mind for opportunities to afford this young man! But for those in Zion, they’ve just realized how much they’re gonna have to do to stand a chance against the National Champion!
Morgan shakes hands with Branson, the two raising their arms together before the now former challenger makes his exit! Morgan continues to celebrate until "Unleashed" by Epica begins to play over the speakers! Out of the curtain comes Jessica Lasiewicz, who comes down the ramp and climbs into the ring, coming face to face with the champion!
Amber Westgate: It looks like someone already seems to think they have what it takes!
Adam LaRue: If anyone has a chance, it’d definitely be her! Morgan already has her biggest challenge to date right here!
Morgan raises her title in the air, seemingly willing to accept this challenge as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (1997 CT01)
[Nadia Allen appears in view in the backstage area. She was dressed in the black and pink Queens of Chaos track suit , the Viral title draped across her shoulder and a tightened expression. As hee eyes widens, she clutches her title.]
Nadia Allen: I wasn't planning on talking tonight or else I would be out there, with Devyn, in front of everyone. But I don't want to waste her time or anyone else's time the same way my time has been wasted.
[Steam escapes the nostrils of Nadia.]
Nadia Allen: When are you going to stop wasting my time, Aubrey? I asked you a few weeks ago. We'll do a rematch. Straight up. You and me. DQs. Countouts. If any of those things happen, the title can change hands. I asked you to be a woman for once. You waited until I beat Jewel Romero to attack me again.
When will you stop wasting my time?!
[The camp's voice raises uncharacteristically.]
Nadia Allen: You want this belt huh? You want it as much I do. So why haven't you accepted the challenge? You pinned me twice six years ago. Why did you have to frame me in our match? Why keep attacking me from behind when I want to fight you any time, any place?
[She points at the camera.]
Nadia Allen: It burns me that you're 3-0 against me and every day that's the case, it makes me sick. If you're better than me, if you're actually a woman and not a c**t.
If you are the better wrestler. No more games. No more wasting time. Because I'm telling you now, I would rather die in the ring than to lose to you again and let you take this title from me. If you're not willing to be a woman and accept, I'll put you on a gurney after your match tonight. How about that? You jump me after my matches. I don't have the respect for you not to do the same.
[Nadia balls her free fist.]
Nadia Allen: But if there is a shred of integrity in you. If there is a woman in there and you're done with the games. And you do trult want this belt from me. If you do accept. I'll put you in the morge. That's all. Hope the wrestling fans out there enjoy the rest of the show.
[The champ storms off.]
MATCH #2: SCYLLA VS YUMI AKIYAMA
The match began with Scylla clearly having plenty of advantages over Akiyama, just throwing her aside following a forearm right to the jaw of Yumi. Yumi stumbled back into the corner where Scylla ran forward to connect with a Jumping Knee in the corner. Scylla rained down shots on Yumi until she was in a seated position in the corner, running to the opposite side of the ring then came back with a Dropkick to Akiyama. Scylla dragged Yumi back up to her feet who tried to fight back, throwing multiple forearms to Scylla that had little to no effect for the moment. With one punch from Scylla, Akiyama was back down to a kneeling position. Scylla ran the ropes to look for a big move, but Yumi countered with a Pump Kick that stunned Scylla! Yumi took a couple steps back, throwing one more Pump Kick to take Scylla down to one knee. Yumi then went for a SUPERKICK, but Scylla moved out of the way, getting Yumi into position to hit METAMORPHOSIS! Yumi rolls around in pain as the Backbreaker connects on Yumi! Scylla got down to go for the cover to put the match away.
ONE...!
TWO...!
Akiyama kicked out! Scylla dragged Yumi back to her feet, looking for another METAMORPHOSIS with Yumi breaking out of the grasp with elbows and kicks to the head. Yumi took a couple steps back once again, this time connecting with the SUPERKICK! Scylla went down to a knee as Yumi ran to the ropes, coming back to Scylla with a Slingblade. Yumi didn’t try for a cover yet, instead she got Scylla back to her feet where Yumi threw a few forearm strikes to the head then ran the ropes again, looking to come back with a Lariat. Connects! But Scylla doesn’t go down, instead backed up into the ropes to come back with a Big Boot of her own. Yumi didn’t go down this time, throwing another SUPERKICK that took Scylla off of her feet. Yumi got Scylla back up to a kneeling position, looking for a SHINING WIZARD that Scylla was able to block. Scylla grabbed Yumi, trying to lock in THE CURSE but Akiyama was able to fight it off. Yumi threw a Roundhouse kick to stun Scylla long enough to go to the apron, Springboarding back in with DEATH FROM ABOVE! The forearm connects! Yumi goes into the cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner, Yumi Akiyama!
Amber Westgate: Yumi Akiyama came in tonight with a mission! She wants to prove that she can be a contender for the Queen of Strong Style Championship!
Adam LaRue: She may have won tonight, but one win does not a contender make, Amber! And I have a feeling that Yumi Akiyama knows this is already plotting her next move as we speak!
Akiyama celebrates her win with the crowd as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (DEATH FROM ABOVE)
? ? ? ?: .¡Ustedes MOCOSOS van a estar en un gran problema! ¡Bájame! ¡Ahora!
This ruckus is heard outside of the room where generally Akihiko and Etsuko Iwasaki are found hanging around backstage. In the center of the room as usual is the large crate decorated with its many stickers and on top of the crate are several empty Chinese takeout containers and a neatly put together basket filled with empty bottles. Along with that are some not so neat wadded up napkins, and the crumpled receipt from doordash.
At the doorway is seen the struggling form of none other than Gianna Rojas dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans one shoe is on, the other is in her hand revealing it to be a vintage looking Nike swoosh shoe, her socked foot is kicking around trying to get her some momentum to break free of the grip of the sisters that comprise the team SBYA. They have a little help tonight as their brother, the charismatic and handsome Shukishi Iwasaki is partially carrying her through the doorway. They finally put her on her feet near the crate and there is a large note taped to the side of it that the girls urgently point to and then point to Gianna. She looks at them and then the note before brushing herself off and putting her shoe on. With a huff she then turns to look at the note, then sighs deeply, rolling her eyes and then nodding, removing the note and shaking it out a little bit towards the sisters.
Gianna Rojas: ...Bien.
Looking between the siblings and then at the camera which has helpfully been recording these circumstances she rolls her eyes again but then puts on a mean mug which seems to fit the words that she is speaking, addressing the team that the girls will be facing not too much longer from now.
Gianna Rojas: Aparentemente querían asegurarse de que ustedes entendieran lo que estaba a punto de sucederles. El Proyecto de Recuperación, fue un error sencillo de cometer. Cualquiera podría haber cometido ese error. Tenías muchos equipos o personas que podrías haber elegido para hacer tu declaración de apertura, pero no investigaste y ahora estás... ¿EN VERDAD? No lo repetiré, es horrible. ¡Brusco! De todos modos, aparentemente cualquiera con media célula cerebral en funcionamiento no habría elegido atacar a estos dos, pero tú lo hiciste y ahora vas a pagar. Hay dientes y mordidas involucradas. ¿Puedo ir ahora?
The sisters look at each other and then to their handsome brother before nodding at Gianna and muttering some kind of thanks before just literally shooing her out of the room. Not wasting any time and despite the somewhat flirty smile she gives Shukishi, Gianna rapidly flees the room to finish getting ready for something that's happening later tonight.
The girls then exclaim with annoyance at the sight of all of the empty containers - apparently all of the food is gone! Their brother calms them down and shows them a menu indicating they can always call to get more after they're done and the camera cuts away from this heartwarming family scene to somewhere else.
The scene opens backstage. On the same throne we saw from the vignette last week, we see Matias Cardenas sitting down on. Ella Sin is seated on his lap. Both members of El proyecto de Recuperación are maskless. The team is already in their wrestling gear.
Matias Cardenas: SBYA. En X declaraste que no eres el mensaje de Ella y yo para el mundo. Todos en esta vida tienen un propósito. Y vuestro Etsuko y Akihiko iban a ser el barco que gritaría al mundo que El proyecto de Recuperación está aquí. Esperábamos que volvieras enseguida. Nos habría decepcionado que te acostaras y te hicieras el muerto. Ahora… el mensaje que pretendemos enviar se gritará aún más fuerte. Triunfar sobre un equipo de renombre mundial como ustedes es el mensaje que el mundo necesita escuchar. Mi Padre me negó mi primogenitura. Cada día tengo la intención de mostrarle el error de sus caminos. Por la paliza que espera, culpad a mi Padre. El mundo de la lucha libre sufrirá por los pecados hasta que él haga lo correcto por mí.
SBYA. On X you declared you are not me and Ella's message to the world. Everyone in this life serves a purpose. And yours Etsuko and Akihiko was to be the vessel which shouted to the world that The Reclamation Project is here. We expected you to be right back. We would have been disappointed if you laid down and played dead. Now... the message we intend to send will be shouted even louder. To triumph over a world renowned tag team such as yourselves is the message the world needs to hear. My Father denied me my birthright. Every day I intend to show him the error of his ways. For the beating that awaits, blame my Father. The wrestling world will suffer for sins until he does right by me.
Ella Sin (dubbed by Devyn Mitchell): None of the misfortune we were given was deserved, none of it was something we asked for. No one was up in arms for us when everything we had rights to; a name, a home, a steady source of income to make a living… No one was there to make it right. Maybe when it is you two that are burdened with the consequences, the lesson will be learned. Maybe then, people will appreciate their blessings more and live as nicer, better people.
Or maybe, the vicious, unfortunate cycle will repeat itself.
Matias Cardenas: Nada que dar. Todo para tomar.
Ella Sin: Nothing to give, everything to take.
MATCH #3: SBYA VS EL PROYECTO DE RECUPERACIÓN
The match doesn’t have a chance to begin, as just as the Iwasaki make their entrances, Ella Sin and Matias Cardenas rush down the ramp and attack the two, leaving them laid out at the bottom of the entryway! They continue the attack, with Sin mounting Akihiko and raining down on her with punches while Cardenas grabs Etsuko off the ringside floor! He presses her over his head, before tossing her into the crowd and causing everyone to tumble! Meanwhile, Sin gets Akihiko to her feet, whipping right into the ring post! She gets her up again, pinning her in position as Cardenas rushes in and connects with a Spear!
The two proceed to stand over Akihiko, cursing at her in their native tongue as she’s helpless to defend herself two on one! However, Etsuko comes to rescue, climbing up onto the barricade before leaping over and connecting with a Crossbody to both Sin and Cardenas! She takes to the apron now, with Sin getting up just in time for her to go for a Diving Hurricanrana onto her! But Sin is able to catch her, putting her up in a Powerbomb position! Akihiko comes back, though, opening up her jaw and latching onto Sin’s leg with a deep bite! Sin focuses her attention on the pain from the bite, leaving an opening for Etsuko to hit the Hurricanrana! Both the Iwasaki sisters get up now, just Cardena runs at them both for a Double Clothesline! But they duck underneath it, nailing him with Dual Superkicks! He doesn’t fall, only staggering, prompting the two to hit him with another Double Superkick! Once again, he just staggers, but before they can try one last time, referee’s and security come down to separate the two!
Amber Westgate: It looks like we’re finally gonna get some order around here!
Adam LaRue: This match might not be taking place tonight, but the war between these two teams is far from over!
The last visual we see is of these two teams trying to get past security to tear each other apart as we fade!

RESULT: NO CONTEST (MATCH NOT STARTED)
“Did you really think it would be over this quickly, this easily?” Laughter echoes in the backstage area. Eventually we see the lovely feminine form of Aubrianna Powers enter the scene from the right. The Most Valuable Powers is dressed in her hot pink and black ring attire. Her long pink tipped blonde hair hangs straight to past the shoulders. A confident, smug grin is etched across her face as she stares into the camera.
“I have said it from day one when I set foot in this company, I am The MVP of ZION. I am now The MVP of Fusion. I was a Trios Champion, a National Champion, and soon I will be the Viral Champion. Why? Because I want it and anything I want I take. Me and Val, we were the heart and soul of Trintiy and we are going to continue to run roughshod over Fusion as The Most Valuable Friendship. Don’t believe me? Just look at me! I am still number one in the Viral Championship rankings. I have beaten the reigning champion, Nadia Allen, three times now, once in a title match.” The MVP shakes her head. “Oh but Nadia had to go and intentionally get disqualified in order to save the championship. She did that because she knew I had her beaten. She knew I had her dead to rights. She knew at the end of the day I am Simply Better Than Her!” She laughs nastily.
“So Nadia, it appears as if we have similar ideas, you challenged me to a match where the title can change on hands on a disqualification…and after I knocked you on your flat ass at GCW’s Best of the Best, I challenged you to the same thing. So yeah, make the match official. Me and Nadia one more time. This time the title can change hands on a disqualification. And this time Nadia will not be able to run away from The Most Valuable Justice or from The Most Valuable Championship Changing Hands!” Powers points a finger at the camera. She smirks knowingly.
“Now then, Emily Williams…” Powers shrugs her shoulders “...you are going to just be a victim, MY VICTIM! Do you even know what you are in for, sweetie? I have made the Viral Champion look like a complete fool the past month. I have owned her. Imagine what I can and WILL do to you tonight just to send a message. Because that’s what tonight is all about, babe. It’s about me sending a message to Nadia and anyone else who dares cross The Most Valuable Friendship. We run this place and no one…and I mean NO ONE…can stop us.” She winks at the camera. “Learn to love it, bitches.”
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, diamonds are a girl's best friend
Southern girl in me I ain't afraid to catch a case, VVS's on me and I flooded out the face
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, diamonds are a girl's best friend
I don't need you, I've got flooded out baguettes
I don't need you, all my diamonds dripping wet (Cartier)
Southern girl in me I ain't afraid to catch a case, VVS's on me and I flooded out the face

The sunshine beats down on the streets of Orlando and a black Corvette zooms down an empty highway. The top is down, the driver’s hair blowing in the wind. Her face is obscured with a large pair of rhinestone-rimmed sunglasses, but there’s a smile on her lips.
I'm a super shero, bitch, don't try me hoe, bad like a villain, I pop it and then I reload
All the best things in life come for free, but don't you think that applies to me
I do what I want 'cause I know that I'm hot, I ain't a band but you know how I rock
Don't need no clippers to give you a chop, took me to dinner then I took him out
I like it when you call me crazy, long as you keep callin' baby
All the best things in life come for free, but don't you think that applies to me

Don't need no clippers to give you a chop, took me to dinner then I took him out
I like it when you call me crazy, long as you keep callin' baby
Arriving at her destination, the Corvette parks outside the Zion Stadium and the driver steps out, lifting her sunglasses and placing them on top of her head. Dressed in a clinging blue dress and silver spike heels, the woman struts her way toward the stadium but before she goes in, she turns her head and gives the camera a sly wink.
COMING SOON… “KILLER B” BIANCA REED!
MATCH #4: AUBRIANNA POWERS VS EMILY WILLIAMS
Aubrianna Powers and Emily Williams began with a tie up, neither woman able to get an advantage right off the bat. Eventually Williams got the upper hand with a Suplex to Aubrianna. Williams picked Powers right back up just to slam her back down with a Body Slam. Emily stomped down on Aubrianna until Powers rolled out of the way of one of the stomps, kicking the back of Emily’s leg to stun her long enough to get back to her own feet. Aubrianna then connected with an Axe Kick causing Emily to roll out of the ring to get some separation. Powers didn’t let that last long because she ran out of the ring with a Suicide Dive! Aubrianna got Emily back into the ring but before she could act on her own offense, Williams connected with a Short Armed Clothesline to send Powers down to the mat. Williams lifted Powers back up to her feet,connecting with a Back Body Drop to send her back down to the mat! Aubrianna rolled out to the apron where Emily set her up, running and connecting with a SUICIDE SPEAR to the outside! Emily wasted no time to throw Aubrianna back into the ring, getting back in with her then lifted Powers back up, connecting with a RELEASE FLAPJACK! Williams into the pin!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Powers barely gets the shoulder up! Emily isn’t happy as she mounted Powers to rain down shots to the head and the face. Williams got back up, dragging Aubrianna into the corner to leave her seated on the top rope. Emily was looking for a SUPERPLEX but Powers slipped under, kicking out the leg of Williams to leave her in a Tree of Woe. Aubrianna ran to the opposite corner and came back with a Dropkick to the chest. Powers then grabbed the hair of Williams to drag her back to her feet, taking a couple steps back to throw the MVK! MOST VALUABLE KICK connects on Williams! Emily only stumbled on her feet, throwing a big Headbutt to send Aubrianna back into the ropes. Powers ran back with a Dropkick to the knee, sending Williams down to a kneeling position which allowed Aubrianna to connect with a Shining Wizard! Powers then threw another big kick, MOST VALUABLE KICK connects once again! Powers wasn’t done as she climbed to the top rope, diving off with the SIMPLY THE BEST MOONSAULT! THE POWERS THAT BE Combination! Powers goes for the cover!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner, Aubrianna! Powers!
Amber Westgate: Aubrianna Powers proving tonight why she deserves to be back in the conversation for Viral Championship contention!
Adam LaRue: She certainly gave a hell of a performance, but we all know that Nadia Allen, the champ herself, is another ballgame!
Just as Powers begins to celebrate, Nadia Allen rushes into the ring, taking her down! The two begin to brawl, with whatever remaining security that isn't still trying to wrangle the participants from the last match coming to pry them apart! Eventually, “Heart vs Mind” by I Prevail begins to play, with Fusion GM Kai Morgan coming through the curtain!
Kai Morgan: ENOUGH! I am 24 hours away from the biggest match of my career! I am NOT in the mood for any of this shit tonight!
Kai pauses as the arena more or less turns to silence from his authoritative yelling.
Kai Morgan: Now you two agreed to a match where the title changes hands on a DQ? But it’s plain to see here that you two are FAR beyond the need for a stricter enforcement of the rules! So next Sunday, at Victory Series, you two WILL fight with the Viral Championship on the line…in a STREET FIGHT!!
The crowd cheers at the proposition of this match!
Amber Westgate: It looks like things have entered extreme territory for these two!
Adam LaRue: Nadia Allen and Aubrianna Powers have wanted nothing more than to tear each other apart limb from limb! But this may just be an example of being careful what you wish for!
Morgan makes his exit, with Powers and Allen staring daggers into one another as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (THE POWERS THAT BE)

==========[COMMERCIAL BREAK]==========
Amber Westgate: What a night it's been on Friday Night Fusion so far!
Adam LaRue: We’ve seen a lot so far. And its only supposed to get better from here! No disqualifications, a huge tag team main event! And that isn’t even mentioning any unexpected events…
As if on cue, an unexpected event occurs. While the commentators discuss the night’s happenings, the crowd begins to react to something happening on the stage. The camera cuts away from the commentary table to the entranceway to see the orange haired Siren, Katie Simmons strolling out
The crowd is a mix between cheers at the attractive Simmons gracing them with her presence, and boos at the fiendish manager of a giant menace. Katie, of course, doesn’t care either way. She soaks up the reactions all the same.
Amber Westgate: It seems we’re being joined by Mrs. Simmons. I wonder what she’s after right now.
Adam LaRue: And I’m wondering where Damian is. He’s somehow more worrying when we don’t know where he is…
Simmons makes her way to ringside and instead of stepping into the ring, she circles it, making her way to the commentator’s table.
Adam LaRue: Katie’s husband has been wrapped up in the hardcore championship scene as of late. I wonder if that’s what- Oh! Hello, Mrs. Simmons.
As he speaks, Katie hops up onto the commentary table, sitting cross-legged in front of the commentary team. She leans in close and speaks to the commentators, her voice barely being picked up by their headsets
Katie Simmons: Don’t worry, I won’t take up too much of your time…
Amber Westgate: All right…
Katie Simmons: I just want to give you a message to deliver to these people as well as that little girl who calls herself the-
Katie makes dramatic air quotes
Katie Simmons: -“Hardcore Champion”. She has guts, taking a shot at my husband. But guts alone isn’t enough to save herself from The God of Death.
Adam LaRue: Does that mean…
Simmons cuts him off with a cold stare. When he doesn’t resume talking, she smiles.
Katie Simmons: At Victory Series… The Juggernaut is coming for her. IF she’s brave enough, she will put that title on the line. But regardless, Damian is coming for her.
With that, Katie giggles and waves to the commentators before spinning around and sliding off the table and beginning her walk to the back.
Adam LaRue: Well… there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Katie Simmons just laid down the challenge to Kimberly Williams for her Hardcore Championship on behalf of her charge, Damian Simmons.
Amber Westgate: I can’t imagine that challenge will be denied. The Hardcore Championship was made with destruction in mind, and it's hard to imagine a challenger that exemplifies that word more than The Colossus.
MATCH #5: CHARLIE ST. HAVEN VS DIAMOND STEELE
NO DISQUALFICATION MATCH
The bell rings as St. Haven immediately rushes for her opponent! Steele doesn’t seem as eager to get things started however, jumping through the ropes and out of the ring to avoid St. Haven! She doesn’t let Steele get too far, climbing out of the ring herself and giving chase to her opponent around ringside! St. Haven eventually catches up with Steele taking her down with a Clothesline that leaves her down at ringside! She gets Steele to her feet now, this time connecting with a Headbutt that backs her into the barricade! She rushes in now, sending her over the barricade and into the timekeeper’s area with a Clothesline! St. Haven takes some time to hype up the crowd, before revisiting Steele at the timekeeper’s area! But this ends up being to her detriment, with Steele cocking back and unleashing a nasty shot with a steel chair right to St. Haven’s head!
Steele is firmly in control now, walking out of the timekeeper’s area as St. Haven writhes on the ground! She catches up to her, beginning to wail on her back with chair shots until the chair itself looks like it’s about to fall apart! Steele tosses it to the side now, pulling St. Haven to her feet before throwing her face first into the ring post! St. Haven once again collapses, with Steele getting her up and pushing her into the apron now! She pushes her into the ring before going for a pin, only getting a two count! Steele looks to finish this off, going for her signature Floatover DDT! But St. Haven reverses it, taking Steele to the mat with a Northern Lights Suplex!
St. Haven rolls out of the ring, going underneath the ring and retrieving both a Kendo Stick and a bull rope with a cowbell at the end! St. Haven tosses the bull rope into the ring before rolling in with the cane! She looks to swing on Steele with it, before she counters with a Kick to the midsection! She commandeers the Kendo Stick from St. Haven, before using it to give her a mighty swing to the back! She follows up with another and another and another, wearing St. Haven down to the mat! Steele now uses it to get St. Haven into Shipwrecked (Modified Fujiwara Armbar)! St. Haven is in trouble now, seemingly about to tap! But instead she reaches out for the bull rope, using her free arm to swing the cowbell right into Steele’s face!
St. Haven takes some time to shake off the pain from her arm, turning around just in time to see Steele attempting to get to her feet! She hits the ropes, taking Steele down with the Silver Bullet II (Big Boot)! St. Haven comes back to the corner now, getting herself ready for Enter to the Dead Zone! But just as she comes in for the move, Steele gets on her knees and begs her off! St. Haven stops in front of her, before Steele…just smiles. At that moment, two women rush into the ring taking St. Haven down to the mat before laying the boots to her. We zero in on the women, revealing them to be…
Amber Westgate: Those are The Gemstones! The Gemstones are here!
Adam LaRue: The last time we saw these two, they were members of the Wednesday Night Wasteland roster! What are they doing here now?!
Amber Westgate: Looks like Diamond had a plan to get the band back together!
Ruby Steele and Sapphire Taylor get St. Haven to her feet, getting her in position before dropping her with Super Diamond Dust! Steele dusts her hands off covering St. Haven for the three count!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Diamond! Steele!
Amber Westgate: Credit where credit is due, Diamond Steele finally got her win, and she did so by having a plan!
Adam LaRue: Charlie St. Haven came into this with the intention of destroying her problem! But now? I think it may have just tripled!
Steele stands tall, hugging Ruby and Sapphire as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (SUPER DIAMOND DUST)
The low, grungy guitar riff of Scroobius Pip's "Let 'Em Come" starts to play as an array of different colored lights start to swirl through the arena, lighting up different sections of the audience for a moment before moving right along to somewhere else. A few seconds pass, and it's only when the singer speaks up that the curtain is pushed aside, and Kaitlin Williams comes pushing through, immediately spreading her arms out wide, a sly little smile on her face as she glances out into the arena.
Darrion Hughes: “Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...the Zion Wrestling WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! KAITLIN WILLIAMS!”
Seemingly in honor of the Olympics kicking off, when the Crown Jewel emerges from behind the curtain, she’s in a bright yellow Australia uniform top and black jeans, with the World Championship strapped around her waist. She just smiles at the top of the ramp, as the crowd’s jeering has only gotten worse toward the Adelaide girl recently--and Kaitlin demonstrably could not care any less. She doesn’t bother with the whole ceremony she performed last time she graced the Zion Stadium, she just saunters down the ramp, taking her sweet damn time to get down to ringside. There’s even a moment where one of the fans in the front row gets the Crown Jewel’s attention, screaming...something at her, which she just laughs at and raises a middle finger at him.
She snatches a microphone from one of the ring attendants, before making a half-lap around the ring and climbing up the stairs on the opposite side...just to make people wait a little while longer. When she does finally step thru the ropes, there’s, again, no pomp and circumstance from the World Champion--she just raises her mic up, not even giving the fans time to start booing again before she’s speaking.
Kaitlin Williams: “Yanno what I’ve been hearing a lot of, lately?”
Annnnnd, the fans get their boos out now, momentarily forcing Kaitlin to scoff and lower her microphone; she shakes her head, pacing around the ring before just starting to talk over the fans, damn how it sounds.
Kaitlin Williams: “Yanno what I’ve been hearing a lot of, lately? As far as I’m concerned, like anyone’s damn opinion matters when it comes reality...as if I give even one single solitary fuck about what anyone thinks. Because that’s all that means, you lot do know that, right? ‘As far as I’m concerned,’ just means ‘things didn’t go the way I thought, and I gotta explain that away.’ It’s why the person that’s been saying it the most is Daria fuckin’ Dorsey--because in her mind, the show stopped with her celebrating. As far as she’s concerned, the whole damn company stopped and applauded her for doing something that had already been done, everyone stopped and threw rose petals for her in celebration, and this title around my waist...well, I just bought it from the souvenir shop.
Kaitlin Williams: “And what a wonderful goddamn life that must be, hey? You really, actually think the entire world gives half a fuck how you’re trying, desperately, to twist reality to cater to what you wish happened? I’ve met a lotta people in this company that live in their own little fantasy world, that talk and talk and talk to say fuckin’ nothing at all, but MY GOD. Every time she opens her mouth, I swear to god I just hear the parents from the Charlie Brown cartoon, wah-wah, wah-wah-wah, waaaaaaaaaaaaah. Let me just, uh. Let me just clue you in to the reality of the situation...the reality is, you captured lightning in a bottle back at End of the Line, and you screamed into the ether that a win over Kaitlin Williams was the most valuable fuckin’ thing you were gonna get, and it proved you deserved to be at the top. And somebody, for some fucking reason, listened...but you turned your fucking brain off after that.”
Kaitlin’s lips twist into a smirk as the World Champion turns to look up the ramp, as if Daria were standing on the ramp already and she could address her face to face.
Kaitlin Williams: “You turned your fucking brain off, and didn’t listen when I told you exactly what was going to happen. I warned you...that if you won that title, you better run like hell, because I was coming to take it the fuck away from you. And instead...you thought, what? You thought I cared when you started comparing me, to when you had the briefcase? Or did you just think I was just making empty threats? Here’s another reality check for you, I don’t make empty threats. I just make promises...when I tell you something’s going to happen, it’s because it’s going to fucking happen...and you should probably start listening when I tell you what’s coming, I hit a hell of a lot more than I miss.”
Kaitlin leans on the top rope, her sneer relaxing into a malicious smile as she looks up toward the curtain.
Kaitlin Williams: “So I want you to listen real fucking close...when I tell you what’s going to happen next, Daria. I want you to listen nice and close, Iron Dame...when I tell you what’s going to happen when you’re face to face with me again. There’s not gonna be any more ZeNiTh Of ZiOn, I’m gonna put you back in your fucking place. I’m gonna send you tumbling back down the pecking order; at Victory Series, I’m going to send you thru a nice little flashback...I’m going to remind you where you belong, second-best, staring up at the people that really matter...I’m going to remind you whose would you’re living in now, and most importantly...I’m going to make you FUCKING B--”
Kaitlin’s cut off abruptly, as Ghostface Killah’s “The Champ” starts to echo through the arena, sending the fans into a burst of cheers! The World Champion, though, sneers up toward the curtain, even beckoning toward the curtain, screaming “come on!” as she awaits the appearance of her rival. Daria would glare at Kaitlin, apparently striking a nerve with her as she gets in the ring and in her face with a violent snarl on her face.
Daria Dorsey: “Are ya done?”
She says with clear annoyance toward her, as Daria would confront her.
Daria Dorsey: “So, yes… when I first got into this business, no one wanted to sign an LFL prospect. Companies left, right and center would try to blacklist people who didn't already have their foot in the door. I did something then that I've never wanted to do… and that was take a knee to the Queen's Court and work for them. Maybe then I was young, dumb, and naive enough to believe that I couldn't mop the floor with each and every one of those egotistical bitches, but I sure as shit can now! And that goes double for you, Kaitlin!”
She shouted back at her with a pop from the crowd to support her. Kaitlin scoffs and starts to raise her mic back up to reply, but she’s cut off before she gets a chance.
Daria Dorsey: “But, there's one thing that will always differentiate me from you… I'm not going to attack anyone from behind.”
She said, before delivering a sneaky headbutt to the bridge of Kaitlin's nose. Kaitlin recoils from the strike, already bleeding from the nose when she turns back--and just spear-tackles Daria to the mat, throwing wild, angry strikes. Only a couple actually land, and the wide swings give Daria room to turn Kaitlin over, bouncing her head off the mat a couple times before getting turned back over herself! The two trade blows and counters on the ground, until officials pour into the ring to try to separate them, ultimately taking no less than three referees to pull Kaitlin off Daria. It’s not without a struggle, though, the World Champion clearly trying to get herself free from their grasp--but it’s the Number One Contender that bursts free first! Daria swarms Kaitlin, wailing on any part of her she can get, but she’s peeled off and forced out of the ring before the fight can devolve once again. A couple officials linger in the ring, to keep Kaitlin from reacting--and the last shot we see before cutting to commercial, as the sneering, bloody face of the World Champion.

Lilith and Maki celebrate together as we fade!
Amber Westgate: Well we’re arriving at the end of the night, but that doesn’t mean the action is gonna be stopping anytime soon on the blue brand! Fusion will come to you next time on August 9th, and we already have a lot in store!
Adam LaRue: That’s right! We just the word from Fusion’s GM Kai Morgan, and it looks like we will finally have that match between SBYA and El Proyecto de Recuperación! But before we get to that, we’ll have a special between Etsuko Iwasaki and Ella Sin to determine which team will choose the stipulation for their match!
Amber Westgate: Jessica Lasiewicz made her intentions clear tonight! She wants a shot at that National Championship! But before she gets there, she’ll have to prove she’s worthy of the shot! Next week, she’ll take on Lukas Baudelaire in an attempt to impress the champion!
Adam LaRue: The Gemstones are back, and they seem to have made an enemy of one furious Outlaw! Next time we’re on the air, Charlie St. Haven will take on Ruby Steele of The Gemstones in hopes of getting revenge!
Amber Westgate: And in our main event, we’ve been given very little context for this match, but we’re told the winner of it will receive a special opportunity of some kind! On the next Fusion, Eden Sterling, Nao Saegusa, Ravenna Rojas, & Kali Bates will all go head-to-head-to-head-to-head with a special opportunity up for grabs!
Adam LaRue: All that and more goes down on the next Fusion, but we also have a huge Victory Series to look forward to! After Kai Morgan came out himself tonight, we can confirm that these two fierce rivals will settle their differences for the title in brutal fashion! Aubrianna Powers challenges Viral Champion Nadia Allen in a Street Fight!
Amber Westgate: Jessi Ozborne and Jordan Majors have been locked in a heated tug of war over the World Tag Team Championships with The Carlton Crew! Could we possibly see them pull things to their side as they challenge them to a title rematch?
Adam LaRue: Three months ago saw Maki Megumi leave the oppressive rule of ISIS! She’s gone on to call her former Angel of Destruction a Judas! Now she finally has a chance to right what she feels is wrong! Will she do it as these two go one-on-one!
Amber Westgate: Damian Simmons laid down the gauntlet tonight, and we’ve been told that Fusion GM Kai Morgan has gotten the call from the champion saying “I’m in”. Therefore, it’s official! Damian Simmons challenges Kimberly Williams for the Hardcore Championship at Victory Series!
Adam LaRue: The Zenith of Zion had been working for her chance to get back to the mountaintop, only for it to be immediately taken away from her! Now she seeks to take back what she’s earned! Will The Crown Jewel get the best of her, or will Daria Dorsey rise to become the first ever three-time World Champion? We find out as she challenges Kaitlin Williams for the title at Victory Series!
Amber Westgate: And kicking off the show, five of Fusion’s finest will have the opportunity of a lifetime at their fingertips! But only one of them will be able to take it! Who will earn their way to the spotlight at Invasion: Puerto Rico? We find out as Kitsu, Roisin, Madi McNamara, Gianna Rojas, and Valentina Skye do battle…in Victory Series!
Kitsu: OOORRRLAAANDOOO! LET’S PARTY
The familiar tone of Kitsu’s voice filled the arena just before the stage burst with a chaotic mix of rainbow lights. Wearing a green pantsuit, the Embodiment of chaos came running out backward, an earpiece microphone on the side of her head.
Amber Westgate: And speaking of Victory Series, we have arrived at our final stop of the night!
Adam LaRue: We were told that Kitsu wanted this time, but I can’t imagine it’s gonna be for anything necessarily respectful!
Kitsu would spin around to look back to the entrance before stopping, crouching low and pointing to the ring. Soon All production hands were on deck, flooding out to the ring with a ring sized orange carpet, an L shaped desk, and five rather plush black chairs. Potted plants fit into the corners as a big screen monitor is lowered down in the center. Kitsu dances around behind them, joined by Tim the Unpaid Intern, who was wearing a frown and a T-shirt from the magic kingdom.
As they approach the ring, The two roll in under the bottom rope and kip up together to pose for the camera.
Kitsu: Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to Zion! And For the first time…Welcome to the Festival Stage.
Kitsu: Kitsu’s not in at the moment so it's just little ol’ Reika. But do I have a show for you tonight? We have the Victory Series coming up, which yours truely is competing in. But I was asked to do this little segment with the other four for…who knows what reason. So let’s get …them…
Reika would pause for a moment like something was wrong. Turning around, she looked at her desk and then walked right over to it.
Reika: Tim…Tim…What the hell is that?
Tim The Unpaid Intern: That’s production controls
Reika: Yeah, but why is it on my desk?
Tim The Unpaid Intern: They liked what you did at Destiny enough to trust you with the controls.
Reika: Wait…They did? Well you know what we have to do right?
Tim The Unpaid Intern: Immediately viola…
Reika: Immediately violate their trust.
Kitsu climbs over the desk, into her chair and starts messing with the lights, lasers, and even sets off some of the pyro as she gleefully messes with the buttons. After a few moments of gleeful explosions, Reika calms herself down.
Reika: Oh they are going to regret this…Well let's get on with the show. First, let's invite out….From Eureka, California. Zero to G-Ro! It’s Gianna Isla Rrrrrrrrroooooojas!
Gianna’s theme Paper Planes plays and after a few bars down the ramp towards the ring comes the former record-breaking Zion Viral Champion herself! Her top looks like a modified version of one of her merch shirts with words in both English and Spanish printed out with glitter to highlight. The black shirt is tucked neatly into a pair of jeans that look very comfortable and well worn. On her feet she's got a pair of vintage Nike swoosh tennis shoes and she's carrying a little basket! She waves at all of the fans as she makes the top of the steps and slips into the ring, handing the basket to Reika with a smile and saying something to her. The camera gets a good look and inside the basket are all sorts of Mexican goodies like chocolate and special candies. After handing it over she waves at the fans again showing her appreciation for their reaction and then takes the seat nearest to the desk.
Reika: Next we have from Hell’s Kitchen. It’s not Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey. RISE & SHINE FOR MAAAAAADI MCNAAAMAAARRRAAA!
“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless plays through the speakers as the camera pans to show Madi McNamara in street clothes. A black skirt, sneakers and a black top with a bleeding broken blood-red heart on it. As the intro mentions the words “Rise and Shine” she seems suddenly agitated. She’s quick to shake her head, smile and skip her way to the ring.
The events of last week were obviously fresh in Madi’s mind. Seeing Gianna already in the ring, Madi hesitates a few moments before hugging her kindly. She has yet to make up her mind about ReiKitsu just yet. The Zion mainstay finds herself a corner to settle in.
Reika: And…last and certainly least…The Former Champ named after the Holiday with the most amount of Heart Break. The Speed Bump, Valentina Skye.
Destiny by Eleine kicks through with the fans cheering. Out come Valentina Skye, not happy about how she was introduced. She yells at Reika and calls her “disrespectful” as she sees everyone else in the ring. She’s wearing a black and red outfit with her hair up, in case she has to bust someone’s head open. Valentina wipes her feet and gets into the ring. She rolls her eyes in disgust at everyone else and stays far away from them.
With everyone in the ring, Reika walked around her desk and sat down. Leaning over she made a whispering motion, but spoke normally to Gianna.
Reika: As you are the only one to actually sit in the chairs. You’re my favorite.
Leaning back into her seat she smiled into the camera.
Reika: At the Victory Series, we are going head to head. Trying to get as many points as we can by kicking each other in the skull until strawberry jello comes out our ears. But speaking of points. I have a few points I want to bring up from Xitter.

A Xitter post from Gianna would appear on the monitors for them.
Reika: For those that aren’t Multilingual, as a fellow 2, I will translate. “Breathing patiently down your neck.” I mean, out of everyone who tried to qualify, you were the only one from the World Heavyweight Division to get in. I mean, that should feel good from a Divisional Aspect. But you have three from the National Division around you and one from the Viral Division. Kinda moves that World Bar down a little, doesn’t it?”
Gianna is grinning a bit at being told she's the favorite, but puts a just slightly more curious expression on her face as she listens to the question she's been asked. Then she grins again and shakes her head - before pulling out a small tablet! She then rapidly types in something, which then reproduces in a very close approximation of her voice a response in English! After all she does understand it and speaks it. It's just easier for her to speak Spanish but it's clear that she took that into account appearing on this show.
(Translated)
Gianna Rojas: Not at all! If anything, it should give some pause to the people that aren't in my division, and they can pretend if they want but we are all aware of my accomplishments while I was Viral Champion. As inconvenient as that may be for some to admit, I've done something very few have and I did it for the fans. Just like any victory in this series is for them. You can't say that it brings the bar down because my accomplishments and my placement mean something even if it's inconvenient for certain people who have attended this lovely talk show of yours. Rant and rave, be as envious and jealous as possible please. Not everyone is a hater, some people know how to appreciate. Madi for example was a great partner, I would be in a team with her and Ricky in a heartbeat!
She takes a moment to look around and then sees Madi where she is, giving her an encouraging smile.
Reika: Buena.
Madi, who was crouched comfortably in one corner, would return the smile before pulling herself up to stand, still leaning into the buckles. It very much gave “I spaced out for a bit and was half-listening, but I am totally paying full attention now!” energy.

Another Xitter post would appear, this time from Madi. She would hop up so she could sit on the top turnbuckle. Off-mic, she would sarcastically confirm with the host that she was up to speak next.
Reika: So that happened. But, it could also happen again. Quite possibly if multiple people pin you at the same time, not only do you get ejected for some time, but they each would score a point. What are you planning to do about this possibility?
Madi would ponder this, tapping the mic against her head while she did.
Madi McNamara: A real hard-hitting question! What am I planning to do about this possibility? Probably have a nervous breakdown in the ring and guilting everyone into letting me win?
Madi would let it hang in the air for a bit before rolling her eyes.
Madi McNamara: No? It’s a good thing I have a backup plan! Stick with me here, a genius, CRAZY idea here okay? Trying not to be the one who gets the falls and not the one who eats them. I know that most everyone here came in after me, but I have what it takes to be at the top of the card. I was the first to hold the top gold on the red brand. I never lost that. I spent three years here, most of it, I’ve played ball and tried to stabilize and elevate Zion when and where it needed to be. But somehow, like always, I get forgotten about. I get left behind. By friends, by family, by the bookers in the back.
She would pause to turn her head at her opponents.
Madi McNamara: I could have set my sights on the National Division. I could have just stayed content and fought to go Viral, sure. But I wanted more. I know that I can achieve more. Might I just add that I don’t mean this with any disrespect. After all, the Viral Division was where amazing talent came from, like Nadia Allen, like longest-reigning Viral Champion Gianna Rojas…
Madi’s eyes were on Gianna, she would pause and even encourage the crowd to give applause.
Madi McNamara: The National Division has immense talent, the up-and-comers, the stars of tomorrow today!
She’d glance around at the others; Kitsu, Róisín, and finally Valentina. Another pause.
Madi McNamara: …Like Teresa Morgan and Damian Simmons.
There was a very brief smirk on her lips before she continued.
Madi McNamara: By the end of the night, I’ll have fought like mad, and no one’s going to be able to deny that I am World Champion in Waiting. Then, soon after that? I’m going to be the first to have held both Mayhem and Fusion’s World Championships. No longer will anyone accuse me of falling off. My days as a World Champion won’t be me talking about old history, but about me winning, and making new history. No one should be left wondering where Madi McNamara, World Champion talent came from, or where she was. I’m right here, and like forever and always- I never left.

A final Xitter post would pop up from Val. Kitsu was leaning back in her chair, feet kicked up on the desk enjoying some of the chocolates that Gianna had brought, the basket nudged towards Gi and Madi to share with them.
Reika: And yet…Ro got the pin fall when you teamed together while you whined.
Valentina rolls her eyes at Reika.
Valentina Skye: So what if she got the win for OUR TEAM! I’m still better than her!
The fans boo at her as Valentina eyes Reika.
Valentina Skye: Tell me this Reika, are you THAT stupid? Are you THAT stupid enough to know who you’re dealing with?
She eyes the rest of her victory series opponents.
Valentina Skye: You’re dealing with Valentina Skye and I’m not here for these “childish” games at all! All of these women in the ring…
She smirks.
Valentina Skye: …are beneath me! Hell, I bet Zion management is wanting ONE OF THEM to eliminate me from the victory series due to their hate towards me! I bet they want to see Madi win, I bet they want to see Ro win, I bet they want to see this stupid bitch right here win…
Valentina eyes Kitsu.
Valentina Skye: AND they probably want to see Gianna win! We all know their conspiracies towards me while you have your freaking blinders on!
She keeps at her eyes
Valentina Skye: I’ve been here longer than everyone in this company and it’s about TIME MY DUES are pa-
Valentina is interrupted by someone hitting her with a piece of foil. She picks it up and sees Kitsu throw another one at her. Valentina is about to kill her.
Gianna Rojas: Eso es increíble. Mira su cara roja.
Gianna glances over to Madi, doing her best not to giggle about how worked up Valentina is, picking a chocolate of her own to somewhat hide her amusement.
Madi playfully made a mocking “Grr!” face at Gianna and pointing at Valentina, amused just as much. She hopped down from her corner, curious enough to want to try a chocolate, too. The two of them hurriedly divided a box worth of chocolate so that they could use either half of the empty box as a small shield against the projectiles being thrown.
Valentina Skye: Gianna, ¡entiendo lo que dijiste! ¡Sigue riendo, perra, porque no tengo ningún problema en limpiar el piso para ti y tu amiga!
And again, someone throws a wrapper at Valentina.
Kitsu is just leaning back in her chair. Feet up on the desk as Val turns her attention to the other two. Things have gone off the deep end so far. She looked at Tim as someone threw a candy wrapper ball right into Val’s mouth. Her hands go up as if signaling for a touchdown.
Valentina Skye: YOU! YOU STUPID BIT
STATIC
Valentina looks at her mic, bangs it, but no sound. She takes the wrapper out of her mouth and looks in disgust at Kitsu, ready to hurt her on the spot.
Suddenly, the opening notes of a song play from the speakers in the arena.
“I said settle down, settle down everything is fine
Take your eyes off the floor
She said no I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not alright
I lost my head on the door.”
Everyone is confused until we see Madi standing by the production board. Pressing a series of random buttons, she queued up an old theme, the one that Rising Star Boulevard used to use.
“…A-a-a-antisocial
A-a-a
She's an angel yeah”
For a few moments, Madi looks catatonic, with bitterness in her eyes. She would lunge toward Gianna, but instead of striking her, she starts to dance by her.
“… I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind (wooo oh oh ohhh oh)
She said babe I'm sorry but I'm crazy…”
Kitsu cut the music as the brief dance break had separated the four of them. Madi stopped in front of Valentina on one side of the ring as Gianna and Kitsu stood on the other. If Valentina thought there was a conspiracy against her, this scene definitely gave it those feelings as all three women opposite her were looking at the blonde. Quickly stepping out of the ring, she started to back up the ramp as the three others leaned against the ropes to wave good bye to her.
