Zion Wrestling Presents: Victory Series 2024!!

[Kai Morgan]

The scene starts with Valentina Skye looking at the television monitor as she views the events from last week. Looking disgusted at what went down, she keeps her eyes on the screen.

Valentina Skye: This….

She shakes her head and eyes the television still.

Valentina Skye: THIS IS WHAT I’M EXACTLY TALKING ABOUT! The childish games, the issues towards me and yet, NOTHING’s done about this at all!

She sees what went down.

Valentina Skye: This is the reason why I’m starting to despise the hell out of this company! It’s because of jokes like THIS that run a goddamn muck around this place while people like me are shunned and embarrassed because I speak my mind in regards to this crap!

She stands here and gets angry by the moment she thinks about this!

Valentina Skye: I bet no fines were handed out and Zion management, like always, let’s this slide and punish the ones that speak about this! IS THIS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT!!!

She takes a deep breath.

Valentina Skye: However, Kitsu, Rosin, Madi, and Gianna can laugh all they want because the Victory Series for the FUSION brand is on the line. Rosin and Kitsu do NOT, and I repeat, do NOT belong in this match up! I defeated them once and I will do it again while Madi and Gianna think they can waltz in and get a victory to please management because I’m in it?!

She waves a finger “no”

Valentina Skye: OVER MY DEAD BODY THEY ARE NOT!!

Valentina keeps standing here and stands in the middle of the room she’s in.

Valentina Skye: Zion Management, you can send ANYONE that’s in this match to try to bring me down because we all know how much you have them wrapped around your finger, but what you’re NOT going to have them do it win this victory series for the Fusion brand!

Valentina does not flinch at all.

Valentina Skye: Since 2021, I have waited and waited and WAITED to the point where I cannot wait anymore for my moment to happen. It did happen at Destiny, but it was RIPPED away from me! What makes you think these four are going to win this? Because they make better “poster children” than I will? Is it because they make money where NOBODY wants to see ME sell tickets? Is this what this is all about?

Valentina rolls her eyes.

Valentina Skye: FUCK THAT!

She kicks over the television monitor and it shatters

Valentina Skye: Three fucking years of goddamn frustation ends TONIGHT in that very ring where I will be the one that has my hand raised as the winner of the Victory Series. NONE OF THESE girls want it more than I do and NONE OF THEM have shown the desire they want to win it! They think throwing stuff at me, MAKING ME NEARLY CHOKE, is going to get them a win? IT’S NOT!!

She stands in the middle.

Valentina Skye: This match has made me look for blood and it’s ALL of them, especially that bitch Kitsu, who’s blood will be on MY HANDS!

She smirks and looks at the camera.

Valentina Skye: You four ladies… have woken up a side of me….

She grabs her crown of thorns

Valentina Skye: That you cannot control…. You’ve woken up a monster…

She leaves for her match.



As the camera shot zooms down the hallway at a slightly faster speed than one might expect murmuring is picked up on the cameras built-in microphone that isn't from the cameraman at all. The light voices become clearer as it approaches a locker area, and as it comes even with the doorway the voices are matched with those of Preeti Anand and her wife and tag team partner Mila Sauvage. On the counter near the pair as they finish up their preparations for their match against the current tag team champions Hungry for Destruction it appears that they have been giving thanks for their opportunity as there is a tiny cone of fragrant incense burning though the parakeet an eye on it so that it doesn't set off the smoke alarm.

Preeti is wearing a vividly colored boxing style robe over her equally vividly colored gear, her hair done up in braids and Mila whimsically tucks a flower in one near her ear, causing her to laugh as they both noticed the camera. There are a couple of small candles burning on either side of the incense and with a look exchange between the pair they turn slightly and bend to blow them out, the thin ribbon of smoke coming from each twining before dissolving out into the air. Preeti then turns her attention back to the camera her body language very relaxed and her expression carries some of that as she nods at her wife before speaking. Her voice comes across almost soothing as well despite how firm her words are.

Preeti: I think it's the disrespect for me? Despite the fact that we all know that a portion of what we do coming up to a match is to talk tough. The whole who can talk shit better, whose words hit harder or stab deeper, get the fans talking about it. Rumors and accusations I've seen as well. You expect a certain level of rudeness from a team that named themselves Hungry For for Destruction, right? But that's not really what we got, not even the usual expected things either. There was a sense of almost panic coming from them across the board this way? Almost like they knew their usual tricks weren't going to serve them well this time. I'm okay with that part, but I'm not okay with the way they failed to give my wife her proper acknowledgment. Look at her! She has worked with me and protected me for a long time and she got a chance to shine on her own once more and dominated in that match. I was so proud of her! And yet they tried to make sure she didn't get her flowers by how they reacted and you know what.

Mila, who has been listening raptly as her wife spoke, blinks and then pipes up.

Mila: WHAT? Don't leave it on a cliffhanger tell us!

Preeti: Sorry baby, I just got carried away. But to all you fans listening to this before we go out there and do it, I need Serenity and Livvie to understand, it didn't have to be this way. We are pretty respectable and decent individuals. We give people credit where it's due and we always have. If you knew some of the teams we had faced in the past and defeated? You would understand the kind of professionalism it takes to be this way no matter what. So I'm not going to say that the pair of you don't know what you're doing because clearly you do you're champions. I'm not going to say that you lucked into things or stole every victory or anything like that. Even if it was true! No that's not me, that's not us. We are better than that so we're just going to go out there and beat the brakes off of the pair of you.

Mila gasps, her eyes going big and her hands going to her cheeks before she drops them and gives a delighted squeal.

Mila: Oh I love it when the story has a happy ending!

Preeti: You know what? So do I! I mean we may not be Disney princesses, I'm fine with that but we are angels. Chalk Outline Angels in fact and so you know by name alone we're the good guys in the story. We're the ones the fans get behind because we're going to give them a show, we're not going to rob them of the enjoyment they paid for. We're going to go out there and wrestle the best match possible every single time. You two? Not so much. Now of course I'm not going to guarantee that we're winning because while we are the superior wrestlers you two are the superior cheaters and anything can happen! But we're going to do our very best to see that the outcome is the one that the fans deserve, the one that they want, and the team they want will be champions. We love zion, they gave us a chance and now we're going to give them the best we can because of it. No matter what!

Mila has now jumped up and has her fingers at the corner of her mouth whistling loudly cheering and jumping around as her wife speaks.

Mila: YEAH! YOU TELL THEM HEAUXS BABY!

She stops and the pair stare at each other for a moment before they both break out laughing and high five each other.

Preeti: Good talk?

Mila: Good talk!

Preeti leans in and kisses her on the cheek as the camera fades out to cut elsewhere in the building.



The camera wanders near the entrance of the arena as Madi McNamara is seen arriving, pulling a suitcase along. Just as the camera is about to cut away, perhaps to footage of other arrivals, Madi finds the camera. She stops everyone in their tracks, staring at the cameraperson so they keep the camera on her. She would smile warmly down the lens, at the viewers in the arena and at home.

Madi McNamara: Happy Victory Series, and Happy August everybody. Wow! August again already! This month I’ll be marking 3 years in this company. I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me three years ago that I’d still be living the dream with Zion Wrestling, but that’s what I do. I SURVIVE.

See tonight I open the show, just like in my first appearance for Zion more than 1000 days ago. My opponent in that match lasted maybe another month. I stayed, I’m still here. I have made enemies and friends. I made a real good friend who burned the house down for Zion Wrestling at a time. They have been in and out of Zion, and of wrestling. I’ve stuck around.

Hell, I’ve had good friends join some dominant factions, but I found a way to survive without one.

I’ve had a longtime friend come in and lift me up, remind me how great I can be. Even without her here now, it’s up to me to remind everybody else!

I’ve seen so many people walk into Zion and out of Zion. If they’re happy, I’m happy for them? Me? I don’t know to quit, I don’t know how to leave. Zion, maybe I’m MAD about you! I’ve been here for sunrise and sunset for some of the most talented stars in the game. I’ve seen them shine and then burn out, sometimes even before they reach their potential. Not me, I never left. I may not have shone the brightest all the time, but I was there.

Tonight, I face elite talent. I can’t deny that all my opponents are superstar level, are World Class! Tonight, it comes full circle. I open the show, but this time, I win. I outscore, I outlast. I’ll give this match, this company, these fans, I’ll give them EVERYTHING I got.

In the end? I survive.

And now…Zion Wrestling Presents…VICTORY SERIES!!!



We open up to the inside of Zion Wrestling Stadium, our set for the night being a giant “V” made up of multiple bright screens, with two small screens underneath for our competitors for the night to come through. We pan around the arena, where we see fans packed in! So many of them that there was a need for seating above the stage as well! We cut over the commentary desk, where we see Amber Westgate and Adam LaRue ready to call the first match of the night!

Amber Westgate: We are live in front of a sold out crowd! All of them waiting for the answer to a question that has been on everyone’s minds: Who will have what it takes to grasp victory? Welcome…to Victory Series! I’m Amber Westgate, joined as always by Adam LaRue to start off tonight!

Adam LaRue: We’re here, we’re live, and I am ecstatic to be calling the first of a new iteration for this amazing concept! Fortunately for us, we don’t have to wait much longer, as we’re getting things started right now!

[Kai Morgan]

Inside the arena, the lights fell to a pitch dark and silence filled the air. The big screen lights up with some footage, the sounds of footsteps shattered that silence. Madi McNamara stepped into view and almost instantly she caught sight of something that garnered her attention. She walks towards it, those footsteps steadily echoing as she gets closer and closer. Intrigue showed in her face as she tilted her head to the side. Willa reaches forward and grabs the camera that was filming, picking it up to look at it. A pleased expression flashed across her features. Two words would leave her lips and ring out against the silence.

'Mine now.'

Cutting back to the interior of that arena, “Miss Nothing” by the Pretty Reckless hit with a thunderous effect. Madi McNamara arrived, leaning more toward her Willa Stoneheart persona. She steps out from the back, thick red smoke pouring in all around her. Standing there, basking in it for a moment. As the camera would zoom in closer, she flashed a mischevous smirk, and even winked. Very soon after, she focused her attention down that long ramp and at the ring.

Darrion Hughes: And up next…from New York City…weighing in at 127 lbs…Madi! McNamara!

Amber Westgate: Madi McNamara has to be considered a darkhorse entry in this match! In fact, she wasn’t even meant to qualify for this match! But she’s out to prove, rightfully, that she doesn’t deserve that distinction!

Adam LaRue: Well, she’s got a huge hill to climb to get there! One of the first ones out with three others breathing down her neck to come! Not to mention the fact that Gianna Rojas is starting with her, and she ain’t exactly someone I’d be eager to share a ring with even without those circumstances!

Determination radiated off of her as she began to make her way down the ramp. That ring, square in the middle of the arena, was her sole focus. She heard nothing, no fans, no ring crew, nothing except for that ring. Their reaction, whether they loved or hated her, was drowned out entirely. She stops at the bottom of the ramp, eyes glued to that ring before her. Once more, Willa mouthed those two simple words 'mine now.'

She jolted forward, sliding into the ring and quickly popped up to her feet. She walked around that ring a couple times before coming to a stop in the middle of the ring. The camera focused on the back of that pink leather jacket she wore. Across the top were the words 'Lena X Madi” written over a black star. Beneath the black star, written in gold cursive “Rising Star Boulevard”, mimicking a street sign.

Removing that jacket, she leaned into the ropes, passing it off to a ring attendant. Her intensity was at an all time high and the way she paced showed just how eager she really was to get everything underway.



McNamara and Rojas circle the ring around each other off the sound of the bell, with the two of them looking for a way to start this one off! They eventually forgo this in favor of a showing of mutual respect, with the two meeting in the center of the ring for a handshake! This quickly turns sour however, as McNamara pulls Rojas in off the handshake, getting her into a Side Headlock! Rojas seems ready for this, however, quickly sneaking her head out of the hold and wrenching McNamara’s arm back with a Hammerlock! McNamara fights back however, dropping down and taking Rojas to the mat with a Snapmare! The two get to their feet in unison, with Rojas rushing towards her opponent! But McNamara sidesteps her, pushing to the ropes! This works to her detriment, however, as Rojas jumps to the second rope and looks for a Springboard Crossbody!

McNamara rolls through however, getting to her feet with Rojas in her arms! She pushes Rojas onto her shoulders in a Fireman’s Carry position! But Rojas uses this to her advantage, dropping McNamara to the mat with a Crucifix Bomb! She keeps her down for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by McNamara!

Amber Westgate: A lot of intense action from the offset of this match!

Adam LaRue: These two need to be weary of reserving their energy throughout this one! They’re hitting a lot of moves, but if they’re not making them add up to a pinfall, they’re just making themselves easy pickings for their opponents!

Rojas gets McNamara to her feet, nailing her over the head with a Punch! McNamara comes back, however, nailing Rojas with a Punch of her own! The two go back and forth, tagging each other with escalating strikes to the head! McNamara begins to come back even harder, nailing Rojas with Forearms until she’s backed into the ropes! McNamara goes to the opposite side of the ring, hitting the ropes in hopes of coming back to Rojas in a huge way! But Rojas retaliates, following her to the ropes and nailing her with a European Uppercut against them! McNamara rolls out of the ring as the countdown timer displays itself!

Crowd: FIVE…!

FOUR…!

THREE…!

TWO…!

ONE!!!





ENTRANT #3: KITSU

Amber Westgate: Kitsu coming into this with a lot to prove, especially given how close she was to not being in this match at all!

Adam LaRue: She proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she can handle multiple opponents at once in that last chance qualifier! Now all she has to go is go through two to take that first step in winning this thing!

Kitsu slides into the ring, immediately trading blows with Rojas! The two go back and forth with hard-hitting Forearms, but eventually Rojas’ slight fatigue starts to show, with Kitsu being able to get the upperhand in this one, exacerbated by a Spinning Back Elbow that takes her to the mat! McNamara looks to get back into this, jumping to the top rope and looking for a Springboard move! But Kitsu reverses, catching her out of midair with a Bicycle Knee Strike! She pulls McNamara to her knees, driving her to the mat with a Kamigoye Knee Strike! She keeps hold of the arms however, pulling McNamara up and dropping her with a Saito Suplex! Pin by Kitsu, hooking both legs and getting it in real snug!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Darrion Hughes: Kitsu has scored her first fall!

Amber Westgate: Kitsu makes an immediate impact in this one!

Adam LaRue: And she gives herself a bit more breathing room, as Madi McNamara now has to spend 90 seconds in the penalty box!



Rojas gets back to her feet, rushing up to Kitsu and nailing her with a Shotgun Dropkick that sends her into the corner! She backs into the opposite corner, looking to come back to Kitsu with the Double Knees! But Kitsu gets out of the way, pulling Rojas to the mat with a Schoolboy Pin!

ONE…!

But Rojas dodges it, nailing her with a Clothesline that turns her inside out! She pulls Kitsu to her feet, looking for Terminar Rápida! But Kitsu reverses, slipping out of her grasp and looking for a Spinning Backfist! Rojas ducks it, however, nailing Kitsu with a Knee Lift that sends her to the mat! Rojas climbs to the top rope, just an alarm goes off in the background! Rojas pays no mind to it, jumping off and connecting with a Frog Splash to Kitsu! She rolls off of her, but it’s then that she may regret not paying any mind to the alarm…

Amber Westgate: Madi McNamara is out and she’s just made a mad dash for the ring!

Adam LaRue: Is she…SHE IS!!

McNamara slides into the ring, plopping right on top of Kitsu before Rojas can roll back onto her!

ONE…!


TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Madi McNamara has scored her first fall!

Amber Westgate: McNamara swoops in and takes the advantage in this one!

Adam LaRue: Her and Gianna Rojas may be friends, but it’s every woman for herself in this one! She has to get those points where she can, especially with how far behind she was at the offset!



Kitsu rolls out of the ring, being ushered to the penalty box as McNamara sits back and admires her work! She doesn’t have long to do so, however, as Rojas rushes in and connects with a Meteora! She hooks the leg for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by McNamara! She and Rojas get up, with Rojas rushing in and connecting with a Superkick! She immediately goes for another pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Another kick out by McNamara! Rojas gets her up now, pulling her into position before dropping her with a Snap Brainbuster! She floats over for the third pin now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

A third kick out by McNamara!

Amber Westgate: You can tell that Gianna Rojas is starting to get a little flustered now!

Adam LaRue: I can’t blame her! Right now, she’s behind the rest of the field! If she wants to win this one, she has to make something add up!

Rojas pulls McNamara to her feet, looking for another move! But McNamara now begins to fight back, clubbing Rojas with strikes to the head that send her back into the ropes! She looks for an Irish Whip now, with Rojas reversing with one of her own! McNamara hits the ropes, only to come back and drop Rojas with a Leaping Clothesline! The countdown timer shows itself as McNamara slowly pulls Rojas to her feet!

Crowd: FIVE…!

FOUR…!

THREE…!

TWO…!

ONE!!!





ENTRANT #4: VALENTINA SKYE

Amber Westgate: Oh brother…here this one comes!

Adam LaRue: You seem a little despondent over seeing your favorite wrestler, Amber!

Amber Westgate: Don’t start.

Skye runs down to the ring, sliding in and immediately catching McNamara with LA Lights! Cutter connects! Rojas tries to go after her now, with Skye getting her up and dropping her onto McNamara with Suns Out! Glam Slam! Pin to Rojas!

Darrion Hughes: Valentina Skye has scored her first fall!

Skye isn’t finished yet, immediately covering McNamara!

Darrion Hughes: Valentina Skye has scored her second fall!

Amber Westgate: WHOA!!

Adam LaRue: Valentina Skye coming in and showing she is not here to play! What a good start for the former National Champion!



McNamara and Rojas roll out of the ring just as an alarm goes off, with Kitsu rushing out of the penalty box and immediately climbing to the apron! She goes high, jumping to the top rope and immediately connecting with a Springboard Dropkick! She kips up, with Skye trying her damnedest to get up and get back into this!

She rushes to the corner, driving Kitsu head first into the ringpost! Kitsu is left kneeling on the apron as an alarm goes off in the background!

Madi McNamara and Gianna Rojas both get released from the penalty box, sliding into the ring and immediately stepping up to Skye! Skye immediately retreats, putting her hands up and begging the pair off as she begins to get backed into the corner! Kitsu is back up and decides to step in now, going through the ropes and using her feet to push Skye towards the pair she’s backing away from! From there, the beatdown is on, with McNamara and Rojas wailing on Skye with strikes to the head and back! Kitsu joins in as well, rushing in and nailing Skye with an Enziguri! The shot turns her around, with McNamara and Rojas taking her down with a Double Clothesline!

Amber Westgate: Teamwork makes the dream work, I suppose! Damn, that was satisfying!

Adam LaRue: Yeah, but it doesn’t earn anyone points! Someone has to make a pin here!

The three stand together and Skye rolls out of the ring in pain! They all celebrate having taken her down, but almost as if she heard Adam LaRue speak, Kitsu jumps right into action! She catches McNamara off guard with a Schoolboy Roll Up!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Kitsu has scored her second fall!

Rojas holds Kitsu down for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Gianna Rojas has scored her first fall!

Amber Westgate: Gianna Rojas has finally gained some headway here! Could she take this thing?

Adam LaRue: She can, but she has a long way to go, and with a fresh Róisín waiting in the wings, that way may just become a lot longer!

Rojas lays out following the pin, with an alarm going off in the background once again! She’s given no time to rest however, with Valentina Skye coming off the top rope to connect with an Elbow Drop! But Rojas reverses, wrapping her arms around Skye and tilting over to bridge for the pin! Madi McNamara tries to slide in the ring to take advantage, but she’s too late!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Gianna Rojas, has scored her second fall!

Amber Westgate: From no points at all to tied for first! Gianna Rojas was not gonna let her deficit stand for long!

Adam LaRue: Yeah, but once again, she’s gonna have to contend with a fresh Róisín! And it looks like she isn’t waiting much longer!



McNamara and Rojas lay on the mat as the countdown timer ticks down again!

Crowd: FIVE…!

FOUR…!

THREE…!

TWO…!

ONE!!!





FINAL ENTRANT: RÓISÍN

Amber Westgate: Róisín makes her way to the ring as the final entrant in this one! What a position to be in! She’s fresh as a daisy!

Adam LaRue: Yeah but she’s also got a lot less time to capitalize on it!

Róisín slides into the ring, immediately going fist for fist with Gianna Rojas! Róisín is able to fight back the fatigued Rojas, with McNamara coming in and catching her off guard with a Superkick!

Meanwhile, Skye is ushered into the penalty box, finally rising to her feet! She looks up, realizing that Kitsu is right next to her!

Amber Westgate: Ohhhhh boy!

Adam LaRue: Well, we had to assume that this was gonna happen at some point!

Just like that, all out war takes place inside the penalty box, as Skye and Kitsu use the limited space they have to demolish each other! Back inside the ring, Róisín covers Rojas!

ONE…!

TWO..!

THRE-

Kick out by Rojas! Róisín looks to take advantage, but not before McNamara comes back, grabbing her from behind and finally catching her with a Back Suplex as Rojas rolls onto the apron! McNamara goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

NO! McNamara looks up, immediately abandoning the cover as she gets off of Róisín! Within seconds we see why, as Rojas comes crashing out of the sky with a Frog Splash to Róisín! McNamara picks her spot, pushing Rojas out of the way before then covering Róisín!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Madi McNamara has scored her second fall!

Amber Westgate: Clever maneuvering there by Madi McNamara!

Adam LaRue: I love this strategy by McNamara! Just picking off the advantage wherever she deems fit! She could go all the way with this!



Róisín is ushered to the penalty box as the alarm goes off again, releasing both Valentina Skye and Kitsu! Skye is still seated in the back of the box, however, showing plainly who won the brawl between her and Kitsu earlier! Kitsu strolls out of the box however, immediately getting violent again as she locks eyes on Róisín! She nails her in the midsection with the kick, before pushing her into the penalty box! Kitsu hunches over Róisín to taunt her, but this comes back to bite her, with Skye leaping over her and taking her to the ground with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! She holds her down for the pin, with the official in charge of the penalty box door being immediately available to count the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Valentina Skye has scored her third fall!

Amber Westgate: I hate to hand it to Valentina Skye, but that is what Kitsu gets for her hubris! Maybe she should think smarter next time!

Adam LaRue: Wait…what’s she doing?!

Skye throws Kitsu inside the penalty box, but just as the official attempts to lock the door, Skye takes the lock herself! She clamps it on the door, before dangling the key in Kitsu’s face and throwing it out into the crowd!

Amber Westgate: I take back that hand I gave to Valentina Skye! What a joke!

Adam LaRue: A joke? Maybe! But also a guarantee that Róisín and Kitsu will no longer be a factor in this match!

Meanwhile in the ring, Rojas has McNamara set up for Terminar Rápida! But McNamara reverses, taking Rojas down with a Back Body Drop! McNamara looks to take Rojas down for good now, rushing in for TBLO! But Rojas dodges the Curbstomp, taking McNamara down instead with the Rojas Roll! Wheelbarrow Victory Roll connects! Rojas has her down for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Gianna Rojas has scored her third fall!

Amber Westgate: This is great for Gianna Rojas! But now where is McNamara supposed to go?! The penalty box is locked!

Adam LaRue: When there’s a will, there’s a way, I guess!



McNamara is ushered over to the timekeeper's area in lieu of the penalty box, where we see Róisín and Kitsu brawling on the inside! Meanwhile, Rojas rolls out to ringside to go after Skye! But Skye gets the upper hand, rushing in and nailing Rojas against the apron with a Shoulder Thrust! She then pivots, pushing Rojas headfirst into the announce table! As the two brawl, another official comes from the back, wielding a pair of bolt cutters! They start to fiddle with the lock on the penalty box door, as we see all four of the other competitors brawl in their separate areas!

Amber Westgate: It’s all out chaos at ringside here!

Adam LaRue: As it should be, this match is quickly becoming heated!

The official with the bolt cutters eventually manages to succeed at their task, cutting the lock off the down as the alarm to release Róisín and Kitsu goes off! The two spill into ringside with Rojas and Skye, with Kitsu being made to crawl away from an angry Róisín! She gets Kitsu up, nailing her with a Forearm that sends her tumbling into Rojas! This triggers something in Skye, who immediately comes up and rocks Róisín’s jaw with a Forearm of her own! Róisín comes back with a Headbutt to Skye, before nailing Rojas with a Forearm! The alarm goes off to release McNamara, but no one seems to care, as everyone is brawling at ringside!

Amber Westgate: McNamara has now been released into this madness and–wait…what is she doing?!

Adam LaRue: Madi! Madi, get down from there!

We quickly see what the commentators are so freaked out about, as Madi McNamara climbs to the top of the penalty box! She looks down at the clustered bunch of competitors below at ringside, before crossing her heart and going for it! She dives onto all of them with a Diving Senton! Everyone goes down like a bunch of dominos!

Crowd: HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY! SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!

Amber Westgate: Holy shit indeed! McNamara putting her stamp on this match right now!

Adam LaRue: Could she take this whole thing?!

McNamara doesn’t waste any time in taking advantage, immediately climbing on top of the most fatigued in Rojas for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Madi McNamara has scored her third fall!

Amber Westgate: McNamara’s tied for lead here!

Adam LaRue: She’s not done, though! She wants first, and she has plenty of bodies to make it happen!



McNamara looks for a pin on Róisín now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

NO! Valentina Skye pulls McNamara out of the pin, pushing straight into the steel steps! She covers Róisín now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Valentina Skye has scored her fourth fall!

Amber Westgate: Valentina Skye steals the lead away from McNamara!

Adam LaRue: What a cunt!



Skye gets up, immediately celebrating her victory! But this may be premature, as Kitsu rushes in and nails her with a Bicycle Knee that drives her into the announce table! She drags Skye back into the ring, rushing in and dropping her with a Spinning Backfist! Pin by Kitsu now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Kitsu has scored her first fall!

Amber Westgate: Kitsu catching up now!

Adam LaRue: But will it be enough!

McNamara now comes back into the ring, looking for a Basement Dropkick on Kitsu! But she gets out of the way, nailing McNamara with Roundhouse Kick instead! Just then, the alarm goes off, releasing Rojas and Róisín from the penalty box! Róisín wastes no time in securing herself the advantage, turning Rojas around and slamming her head right into the side of the penalty box! She slides into the ring now, grabbing Kitsu from behind and taking her down with the Ripcord Lariat! She attempts the pin, only for McNamara to come back in and look for TBLO! Róisín avoids it however, grabbing McNamara from behind and dropping her with Ripcord Lariat of her own! Pin to McNamara by Róisín!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Róisín has scored her first fall!

Róisín isn’t done however, scrambling to cover Kitsu!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!

Darrion Hughes: Róisín has scored her second fall!

Amber Westgate: Róisín coming back in a huge way, getting her first two points on the board!

Adam LaRue: Yeah, but it may be too little too late, as we enter the final minute of this match!



The timer is at 60 seconds now, as Róisín tries to search for another body to lay out for more points! All she finds, however, is a Diving Crossbody from Gianna Rojas! She covers!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE—

Kick out by Róisín! Rojas tries to get her up, hitting the ropes and looking for the Wheelbarrow to take her down with the Rojas Roll! But Róisín reverses, instead lifting Rojas off the Wheelbarrow attempt and dropping her on the top rope! She gets her in position now, looking for Róis-Falling! But Rojas escapes the attempted Backpack Stunner, digging into her shoulder with Elbow Strikes until she lets go! She gets Róisín in position now, dropping her with Terminar Rápida! Double Underhook Powerbomb connects! Pin by Rojas, just as the alarm to release Valentina Skye goes off!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Skye slides into the ring, looking to stop the pin attempt!

…

…

…

…

…

THREE!!



Amber Westgate: Well, it looks like we have ourselves a situation folks!

Adam LaRue: Our first ever of these types of matches and we already have a tie!



The crowd comes to a slight murmur, not knowing exactly what to think.

Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen…Gianna Rojas and Valentina Skye have tied in this match…

The crowd seems a bit deflated now, assuming that Rojas now has to share the win with Skye!

Darrion Hughes: Therefore, management has deemed that this match will go into sudden death overtime! The first between these two to score a fall will be declared the winner!

The crowd gives a huge ovation to this ruling!

Amber Westgate: What a game changer! This match goes into overtime!

Adam LaRue: We’re gonna have a winner, and it’s gotta come down to these two!



Rojas rushes towards Skye, looking to snag the advantage! But Skye is able to catch her, dropping her with LA Lights! Cutter connects! The crowd boos as Skye goes for the cover!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

NO! Rojas kicks out at the very last second! Skye is baffled by this, grabbing Rojas by the throat and slowly pulling her to her feet, yelling in her face! She gets her in position, pulling her to the mat with Skye’s Out! DDT connects! Just then, however, Kitsu jumps to the apron, breaking away from the crowd that’s headed to the back! Skye is quick to catch her, rushing over to swipe at her instead of going for the pin! Kitsu gets nailed with a punch that sends her off the apron! Skye turns around, looking to get Rojas up for another Skye’s Out! But Rojas reverses, nailing Skye with a boot to the midsection before dropping her with Terminar Rápida! She nails it! Rojas holds her down for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen…the winner of the 2024 Fusion Victory Series Match…Gianna! Rojas!

Amber Westgate: I’m not sure anyone was expecting the result we ended up getting tonight, but I don’t think they’re complaining either! What a match, and what a way to kick off the show!

Adam LaRue: Gianna Rojas has been itching for an opportunity like this ever since she lost the Viral Championship at Destiny III! Now she has it, and if there’s anything she’s good at, it’s capturing gold! This could spell trouble for whoever comes out of that World Heavyweight Championship Match tonight with the title!

Rojas takes a while to get up, the stress of the match keeping her down just a little longer as she’s helped up by officials! She has her arm raised, with the fans celebrating with her as we fade!

WINNER: GIANNA ROJAS
RESULT: FINAL FALL

[Kai Morgan]

Normally, the backstage area of a premium live event would be considered professional and peaceful as many of the employees and workers are doing everything to ensure that the show will be running smoothly. The Victory Series hosted by Orlando, Florida, is an exciting annual tournament that will define the future of Zion Wrestling. However, the peace and tranquility has been disturbed by two women marching through the hallways putting a warning to all to stay out of their way.

The camera follows through the commotions to find Serenity unleashing a tirade of expletives to which employees scramble from the sound of her voice. On the other hand, Livvie Nelson just walks calmly behind with her Global Tag Team Championship belt hanging off her shoulder and Serenity stares at the camera ahead holding her championship belt close.

Serenity Holmes: I take it everyone must be very happy about the Chalk Outline Angels. On the last Monday Night Mayhem, Mila pinned me but that was due to unfair officiating and biased commentary! It’s clear that no matter what we do, we just can’t seem to get the respect from our division and everyone else in this company but that’s okay. That’s what happens when you are the best and right now, Hungry for Destruction is the best damn tag team on the roster!

There’s a clear negative reaction from Orlando and Livvie smiles at that statement.

Serenity Holmes: The Chalk Outline Angels are unlucky to become the number one contenders. I understand they’ve been wanting an opportunity to prove themselves but all they will be proving tonight is that the only place for any other tag team besides Hungry for Destruction is second place! Livvie Nelson and I are not ones to give up this championship, none of you have what it takes but the Chalk Outline Angels are just two women who think their little pipe dream means that they have what it takes. Allow us to introduce you both back to reality.

They’re nearing closer to the production area and Livvie takes a step ahead of Serenity, marching confidently as she speaks to the camera.

Livvie Nelson: Hungry for Destruction. A simple name. We are just ready for another feast of victims and I can’t pick two better women to be our meal for tonight. Their hopes, their dreams, their happiness will be ripe for the picking. We’re going to enjoy breaking both your spirits.

The clear monologue from Livvie gave Serenity more motivation to go out there. She held onto the camera as she usually does and pulled it closer to both of them.

Serenity Holmes: Let the feast begin!

Serenity shoves the camera away and the view is both women laughing as they walk down the corridor with the Global Tag Team Championships in their grasp.

[Devyn Mitchell finds herself in the backstage interview arena with the current Viral Champion Nadia Allen. Allen is dressed in blue jeans and a black and red Nadia Allen t-shirt with her left shoulder taped up per usual, and the Viral title wrapped across her waist.]

Devyn: Devyn Mitchell here. once again, with the Viral Champion, Nadia Allen. Nadia, always a pleasure. Good to see you.

[The red head nods.]

Devyn: Thanks for giving me this time. I know you're locked in and want to focus on your match with Aubrey powers. But just wanted to get some quick thoughts on this match that seems more personal than usual.

[Nadia glares at Devyn before facing the camera.]

Nadia: It is personal. Aubrey, you've made it personal. Stealing my title. Framing me a few weeks ago. Jumping me from behind. I said on Twitter that I'm defending both this belt and my pride.

[Nadia tightens her expression.]

Nadia: I don't know which one is more important to me but I'll die in the ring to defend them both. As a champion. As Viral Champion, the whole idea is taking on anyone, any time, anywhere. No games. If I lose to you Aubrey, that idea is tainted because you have no honor, no dignity, no character. And as for my pride as a pro wrestler. The way you tried to steal my belt. The fact that you dangle a 3-0 record against me. i have enough pride in myself to not allow you to get away with it. If you can't tell by the what I have on, I'm not trying to wrestle you tonight.

[Nadia's nostrils flare.]

Nadia: It's a Street Fight. And I don't respect you. So I will not regret what I'm going to do to you. For my title and my pride, Aubrey, I will rip your head off.

[The champion turns back to Devyn and nods.]

Devyn: Thanks again, Naddy. And good luck tonight.

Nadia: Any time.

[Kai Morgan]

Winter Mae: Well, it seems Hungry for Destruction and Chalk Outline Angels are ready to scrap for the Zion Wrestling Global Tag Team Championships! Judging from our last Monday Night Mayhem, Chalk Outline Angels have the momentum on their side after Mila pinned Serenity Holmes in their singles match.

Kyle Cassidy: I’d had to mute Serenity Holmes who was going off on Twitter. Hungry for Destruction are livid tonight but that could play to Chalk Outline Angels’ advantage. They are the number one contenders to the inaugural champions and bring a dynamic that HFD hasn’t experienced before.

Winter Mae: You’re absolutely right Kyle. Chalk Outline Angels have been itching for a championship opportunity. Tonight, they get their chance and will do everything in their power to become new Global Tag Team Champions!

Kyle Cassidy: I’d had to mute Serenity Holmes who was going off on Twitter. Hungry for Destruction are livid tonight but that could play to Chalk Outline Angels’ advantage. They are the number one contenders to the inaugural champions and bring a dynamic that HFD hasn’t experienced before.

Winter Mae: Well that’s easier said than done. Hungry for Destruction has been the tag team champions and refuses to give an opportunity for anyone in their division to have a chance at beating them. Their biggest competition tonight could be the very message they send to their division not to ever challenge them again.

Kyle Cassidy: I have my lucky underwear on tonight! Let’s kick it over to Vivian Blake for the introductions!

Vivian Blake: The following contest is a Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall and it is for the Zion Wrestling Global Tag Team Championships!

“Aeroplane” by Red Hot Chili Peppers is the first of the two scheduled entrance music to play from the venue’s interior surround systems. Mila and Preeti of the Chalk Outline Angels are on the stage after running from the backstage production area to have their presence be seen by the Orlando audience. The Chalk Outline Angels nod to each other then proceed down to the ring interacting with fans along the way who are in full support of their match

Vivian Blake: Introducing first, the challengers! At a combined weight of 285 pounds! Preeti and Mila, they are the Chalk Outline Angels!

Preeti rises onto the apron followed by Mila who poses for the main camera angle showing Orlando supporting them. They both enter into the ring and stand on similar middle turnbuckles in the corner mouthing off on how they’re ready to become tag team champions. They slowly descend down from the turnbuckles and await their opponents in their designated corner by the match official.

Crowd:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The lights inside the Zion Arena dim to complete darkness. The audience breaks into a chorus of boos knowing who is coming out next. On the large screen, hammers clash together until an introductory guitar riff plays causing the lights to flicker around with smoke engulfing the stage. Two spotlights showcase the silhouette of two individuals with championship gold around their waist until “Rise” by Divyded officially begins forcing the lights to shine brightly to reveal the Global Tag Team Champions, Hungry for Destruction!

Crowd:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Serenity Holmes and Livvie Nelson are standing together holding the championships around their waist until walking down to the ring. Livvie keeps her menacing march but Serenity goes around her on the walk arguing with the fans and showing off her championship belt. The Chalk Outline Angels are watching them intently but Hungry for Destruction has had enough of their antics.

Vivian Blake: Introducing next! At a combined weight of 276 pounds! They are the Zion Wrestling Global Tag Team Champions, Livie Nelson and SerenityHolmes, Hungry for Destruction!

Livvie Nelson hops onto the apron and Serenity Holmes climbs up to the middle turnbuckle on the outside of the ropes. She stands over Livvie raising her championship belt and looks over to their opponents. Livvie keeps that smirk and both women enter through the ropes to stand in their designated corner. They hand the championship belts over to the referee who raises it up in the center of the ring and both teams are ready.

Winter Mae: Hungry for Destruction and Chalk Outline Angels are ready for the Global Tag Team Championships! Both teams are ready to tear each other apart! Here we go!

Serenity Holmes and Preeti of their representative tag teams are the ones to start off the match. Both women leave their corners simultaneously to circle the ring, their partners watching intently from their corners and both women inside the ring lock up. Serenity pushes Preeti back to an unoccupied corner rubbing her hands into her opponent’s face as the referee demands for her to stop the dirty tactic before the count of five. Serenity steps back and goes for an Elbow Blow but Preeti ducks under it and slaps her in the face!

Crowd:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Kyle Cassidy: Preeti with a slap in the face to Serenity!

Preeti takes a couple of steps back mocking Serenity who is infuriated from the strike. She charges out of the corner to get Arm Dragged down onto the canvas in the center of the ring. Preeti stands on her right knee applying a simple Arm Hold on Serenity who is getting frustrated from the torque on her arms. Instead, she rolls around on her hands and knees before getting back up on her feet then Headbutts Preeti!

Winter Mae: It seems she took a page out of her partner’s book with that Headbutt!

After the headbutt, she takes some steps back from the blow and Serenity launches into her with a kick into her ribs. The impact causes her to hunch over from and Serenity takes her right arm to launch her into the ropes and as she rebounds, the champion drops down to the mat allowing the contender to hop over. Serenity stands up and Preeti returns, almost getting Hip Tossed but she spins around landing the Hip Toss of her own on Serenity Holmes!

Kyle Cassidy: Amazing Hip Toss by Preeti and Serenity Holmes wasn’t expecting this!

Serenity gets back on her feet and turns around into Preety who lifts her off the mat for the Body Slam! Serenity’s body on the canvas who sits up from the impact and Preeti begins to drag her over to the corner to make the tag! Mila enters into the ring and both women take Serenity into the center for the Double Suplex!

Crowd:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Winter Mae: Double Suplex by Chalk Outline Angels!

Mila gets back on the apron from the referee’s orders. Orlando is cheering wildly for Mila. On the other hand, Mila drags Serenity to her feet and launches her to an unoccupied corner, Serenity’s back slams against the turnbuckles and Mila charges in a straight line to her opponent. Unfortunately, Serenity catches her in her grasp then throws her into the turnbuckles spine first from the Exploder Suplex!

Winter Mae: Exploder Suplex right into the turnbuckles! Serenity has recovered! Hungry for Destruction are back in the mix again and Serenity is turning up!

Mila tries to crawl out of the corner until getting stomped down by her opponent. Serenity stomps down on her back then falls to her knees to consistently rain down blows in a heap of rage onto Mila. The audience disapproves of this madness but she helps Mila back to her feet then launches into her corner. Mila’s back is glued against the turnbuckles and Serenity charges in with a Running Corner Elbow cracking her in the jaw to keep her steady!

Kyle Cassidy: Strong Elbow Strike from the champion and this is where you do not want to be!

The tag has been made and Livvie enters into the ring through the ropes as Mila falls down into a seated position. Serenity has bounced off the ropes with enough speed to land a Corner Seated Knee Strike and she gets onto the apron quickly enough for Livvie Nelson to be charging afterwards for a Seated Corner Dropkick crashing her weight!

Crowd:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Winter Mae: Beautiful corner combination from the Global Tag Team Champions! Here comes the pin attempt!

ONE...!

TW-!

Orlando applauds for Mila kicking out of the pin attempt but Livvie doesn’t let her get a chance to respond. Mila stands on her knees but Livvie lands a Roundhouse Kick into her chest dropping her down onto her back. She waves her hand dismissing the audience before helping her back up to her feet. A strong European Uppercut plants her down on the mat and Serenity claps for her partner’s performance.

Crowd:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Preeti holds onto the tag string trying to encourage her partner to fight back but Livvie tells her to shut up, drawing negative cheers from the audience. Instead, she tags back in with Serenity who enters into the ring. Livvie helps her opponent on her feet then lifts her off the canvas from behind in a Back Suplex position allowing Serenity to leap off the canvas for a Leaping Neckbreaker planting Mila down for the pin attempt!

Kyle Cassidy: Hungry for Destruction are putting everything they have into this match! They are going to pull out all the stops and the moves which means this match will be Chalk Outline Angels’ hardest match of their careers! Here comes a pin attempt!

ONE...!

TWO…!

Mila kicks out again! Serenity tells the referee it was three but he confirms she kicked out before the three-count. The champion stands up and messes with Mila’s hair telling her to give up which inspires her opponent to stand up with a flurry of Forearm Blows into the head of Serenity! Orlando enjoys the action until Serenity digs her thumb into the eyes temporarily blinding her opponent!

Crowd:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Winter Mae: What the hell?! She just blinded Mila with a thumb to the eye!

The match official sternly warns Serenity who ignores him. She runs forward, leaps and locks her legs around the neck of Mila to roll her forward with a Huricanrana! However, the moment she rolls backwards into the mount position on Mila, she holds onto her right arm and transitions into the Armbar! Mila is trapped in the center of the ring and Serenity torques on the arm with the referee kneeling down to check on the submission!

Kyle Cassidy: Armbar! The Hurricanrana into the Armbar! Mila is in the center of the ring and she needs to figure something out now!

Mila struggles in the submission and Serenity yells at the official to call the match. However, Mila rolls onto her knees beginning to stack Serenity on her shoulders then stands up on her feet to deadlift Serenity from off the mat onto her shoulders then drops down onto the canvas to Powerbomb on the mat! Both women are down on the canvas with their partners holding onto the tag string edging them to get to their respective corners!

Winter Mae: Powerbomb by Mila! Both women are down on the mat and they are crawling to their corners! Mila leaps and gets the tag followed by Serenity tagging in Livvie! Here we go!

Crowd:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Preeti enters into the ring and charges into Livvie but Preeti ducks under a Clothesline to hold Livvie from behind and uses her strength to launch her off the mat from a German Suplex!

Crowd:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Livvie is back on her feet from the landing and Preeti charges into her for a Running Forearm Blow backing her into the ropes. She holds on her right arm attempting to throw her into the opposing ropes but Livvie spins around tossing her instead, upon the rebound, Preeti ducks under another Clothesline and turns Livvie around for a quick Snap DDT!

Kyle Cassidy: German Suplex and now a Snap DDT! Preeti is on fire and putting the pressure on Livvie Nelson!

Preeti sees Mila has recovered and tags her into the match! Serenity, on the other hand, has had enough and enters into the ring against the referee’s warnings to charge into both women who sideswipe her allowing Holmes to crash through the ropes down to the outside mat. The opportunity presents itself with Mila on the top rope and Preeti putting Livvie in position after constant Forearm Blows. Livvie looks up and sees Mila jumping from the top rope for the Missile Dropkick!

Crowd:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Winter Mae: Beautiful signature combination from Chalk Outline Angels and here is the pin attempt! We may have new Global Tag Team Champions!

ONE...!

TWO…!

THR-

No! Livvie Nelson kicks out from the pin attempt leaving her opponents shocked. However, Mila gets Preeti to be back on the apron to make another tag but Serenity pulls Preeti off the apron allowing her chin to smack off the apron edge. To make matters worse, Serenity holds onto the body of Preeti and runs with her to bumrush her head first into the steel steps making the fans behind the barricade groan in awe from the impact!

Crowd:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Kyle Cassidy: Oh my God! She nearly killed Preeti! Serenity drove her head first into the steel steps but Mila, look behind you!

While the referee yells at Serenity who holds her hands up, Mila tells her to back off until turning around into a Superkick from Livvie that folds her down onto the canvas!

Winter Mae: SUPERKICK!

The referee turns his attention back to the match and Serenity slides into the ring after Livvie yells at her to enter. Both women are in opposing corners with Mila standing onto her hands and knees in their crossfire. The moment Mila stands up, Serenity and Livvie both charge at each other then collide their bodies into Mila with a Double Shining Wizard!

Crowd:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Kyle Cassidy: MOVINGHAMMER! HUNGRY FOR DESTRUCTION WITH THE MOVINGHAMMER AND LIVVIE IS PINNING MILA!

ONE...!

TWO...!

THREE!!

“Rise by Divyded” replays from the arena’s interior surround systems and the audience are booing excessively after that match. Livvie shoves Mila away and Serenity grabs onto their tag team championship belts handing one to her partner. Both women stand on their feet to get their arms raised by the official as Mila and Preeti are tended to.

Vivian Blake: Here are your winners and STILL the Zion Wrestling Global Tag Team Champions, Hungry for Destruction!

Mila and Preeti are on the ringside mat recovering from the match and the match official checks on their condition. Livvie and Serenity are parading around the entire ring holding their championships high enjoying the success of their second championship defense.

Winter Mae: Well, Hungry for Destruction said what they were going to do and they retained the Global Tag Team Championships. Chalk Outline Angels gave all they had but Hungry for Destruction will do anything to keep those belts in their possession.

WINNERS: HUNGRY FOR DESTRUCTION (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: PINFALL (MOVINGHAMMER)

[Kai Morgan]

We open backstage. There we find Aubrianna Powers, the current number one contender to the Viral Championship. And as per the norm, The Most Valuable Powers is not in a very good mood. In fact, she is throwing one of her classic tantrums as she paces the floor back and forth.

“This is unfair! This is a disgrace! How could they force me…ME OF ALL PEOPLE…to have to compete in a match as barbaric as a street fight?” Powers motions to her face. “This is my money maker, bitches! I cannot afford to have it ruined by idiots like Nadia Allen who have no respect for the rules! And no, she does NOT have any respect for the rules. If she did she would not have intentionally gotten herself disqualified in our last match for the Viral Championship! Now Fusion sees fit to reward her poor behavior by giving her a match stipulation that favors her?!” The MVP scowls and then shakes her head.

“Go ahead and play favorites, because it won’t matter. Nadia, I am sure you are thinking so highly of yourself right now. I am sure you are riding high on cloud nine right now because you think that this street fight will give you an edge. But at the end of the day all it will do is to serve as a reminder that I really and truly am The MVP of Fusion and that I am Simply Better than you. In what amounts to a match that CLEARLY favors you, I will overcome the odds and I will still defeat you, for a FOURTH TIME, and become the new Viral Champion.” Powers winks at the camera. “Learn to love it, bitches.

With that The Most Valuable Powers turns and storms away. Her match is next and she is ready for a fight.

[Kai Morgan]

Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Street Fight for the Viral Championship and is scheduled for one fall…

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Darrion Hughes: Introducing the challenger…

“I Am The Very Best…”

“I Am The Absolute Best…”

“…and I am the Sexiest of them all!”

Darrion Hughes: She is the “Most Valuable Powers”...AUBRIANNA POWERS!!!

After those words are uttered, “Here I Go Again” by Whitesnake starts to play. Aubrianna Powers steps out onto the stage, met with loud booing from the fans. She smirks smugly as she confidently strides towards the ring. Aubrianna steps up onto the ring apron and strikes a sexy sultry pose which draws a few cheers from the male contingent, despite the women who continue to boo. Aubrianna then steps through the ropes and approaches the center where she poses again. The music dies down and she waits patiently on her match to begin.

Darrion Hughes: And her opponent…

The lights dim a bit and the opening to "Underground" blares over the PA system.

I try and get some love from up high
There just ain't enough to go around

The guitar and drums ring out and smoke fills up on the ramp. A figure appears like a silhouette in the smoke and out of it is Nadia Allen. Wearing a black leather hoodie, with a black mouthpiece dangling from her mouth. Nadia turns to her left and right, facing the crowd, before she starts her stroll down the ramp.

Darrion Hughes: From San Francisco, California, representing the Queens of Chaos…she is the current Viral Champion…NAAAADIAAA ALLLLENN!

Nadia walks purposefully down the ring, occasionally knuckle pounding a few fans in the front row. She turns to each fan as they cheer her as she nods. She circles around the ring, slowly. When she reaches the steel steps, she stretches a bit with her eyes on the ring. Sprinting up the steps, she turns to the crowd. She glares at them, lowering the hood of her jacket and looks around the crowd.

Nadia lets out a yell and balls up her fist as the crowd roars. She then enters the ring, galloping a bit. Eventually, she slips out of her jacket, revealing the QoC armband on her right arm. She hands it the ringside assistant outside. She puts in her mouth guard before sitting on the second turnbuckle with a tightened expression.



Aubrianna wastes no time, sprinting across the ring and launching herself into the air with a Spinning Heel Kick that catches Nadia off guard. The impact sends Nadia stumbling into the corner. Sensing an early advantage, Aubrianna follows up with a Springboard Dropkick, smashing into Nadia’s chest and driving her further into the turnbuckles. Nadia slumps in the corner, and Aubrianna quickly charges at her, connecting with a Running Forearm Smash. The crowd roars as Aubrianna climbs the ropes, looking to deliver more damage, but Nadia recovers quickly, shoving Aubrianna off balance and onto the mat. Aubrianna lands hard, and Nadia seizes the opportunity to regain control.

Amber Westgate: Powerful start from Aubrianna against Nadia tonight!

Adam LaRue: Nadia isn’t one to go down easily, though. She’s proven that time and time again.

Nadia storms across the ring, unleashing a brutal Running Double Knees to Aubrianna, who is still recovering on the mat. The impact sends shockwaves through Aubrianna's body, and Nadia doesn’t let up, grabbing Aubrianna by the hair and dragging her to the center of the ring. With a malicious grin, Nadia delivers a series of open-hand strikes to Aubrianna’s face, each slap echoing throughout the arena. Aubrianna reels from the strikes, but Nadia isn’t finished. She whips Aubrianna into the ropes and, on the rebound, nearly decapitates her with a vicious European Uppercut that sends Aubrianna crashing to the canvas.

Crowd: Kick her ass! Kick her ass! Kick her ass!

As Aubrianna tries to shake off the assault, Nadia rolls out of the ring, searching under the apron for a weapon. The crowd buzzes in anticipation as Nadia pulls out a kendo stick, raising it high above her head. Aubrianna sees the danger and quickly springs to her feet, launching herself through the ropes with a Suicide Dive that knocks the stick from Nadia’s hands and sends both women sprawling to the floor. The impact rattles both competitors, but Aubrianna, driven by adrenaline, is the first to her feet. She grabs the kendo stick and slams it across Nadia's back, the snap of the kendo on flesh reverberating through the arena. Nadia arches in pain, but she fights through it, getting to her knees. Aubrianna, relentless, raises the stick again, but Nadia counters with a low blow, sending Aubrianna to the ground in agony.

Amber Westgate: Allen introducing a kendo stick into the match, and Powers is definitely feeling the sting from it!

Adam LaRue: Kendos can be a painful, unforgiving weapon until they break.

Nadia grabbed Aubrianna by the hair, slamming her face into the apron repeatedly. Nadia then hoisted her onto her shoulders and executed a brutal scoop brainbuster onto the unforgiving floor. Aubrianna cried out in pain, clutching her back as Nadia stood over her, a cruel smile forming on her lips. Nadia dragged Aubrianna to the steel barricade, delivering a series of European uppercuts that left her challenger reeling. With Aubrianna dazed, Nadia ran full speed, connecting with a running elbow smash that drove Aubrianna into the crowd.

Crowd: Let’s go, Nadia! Let’s go, Nadia! Let’s go, Nadia!

The fight spilled into the audience, where the two gladiators traded blows amidst the chaos of screaming fans. Aubrianna fought back with a Pele kick that dropped Nadia onto the concrete floor. Seizing the moment, Aubrianna grabbed a steel chair, folding it up before delivering a wicked shot across Nadia’s back. The champion groaned, trying to crawl away, but Aubrianna wasn’t done. She set the chair up and positioned Nadia for a Hangman’s Neck Breaker, driving her neck-first into the steel seat. Nadia crumpled to the ground, the impact leaving her gasping for air.

Amber Westgate: Vicious hangman’s neckbreaker from Aubrianna onto Nadia!

Adam LaRue: Powers was smart to use the chair in her favor. Allen is not going to stay down without a Hell of a fight.

Aubrianna pulled Nadia back to ringside and tossed her into the ring. She followed with a springboard Asai moonsault off the second rope, aiming to crush Nadia beneath her. But Nadia rolled out of the way at the last second, and Aubrianna hit nothing but mat. The crowd’s collective gasp filled the arena as Nadia crawled to the corner, using the ropes to pull herself up. Aubrianna clutched her ribs in agony, and Nadia, sensing an opening, charged forward with a running double knee strike that flattened Aubrianna in the corner. She pulled Powers up, leaning her against the turnbuckle in a standing position.

Crowd: Violent fighting! Violent fighting! Violent fighting!

Nadia backs up, lining up Aubrianna for her Running Elbow Smash to a cornered opponent. She charges forward with ferocious speed, but at the last second, Aubrianna dodges out of the way, leaving Nadia to crash shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. The miscalculation stuns Nadia, and Aubrianna seizes the moment, pulling herself up with the ropes and delivering a desperate Pele Kick to the side of Nadia’s head. The strike sends Nadia stumbling, and Aubrianna, summoning every ounce of strength left in her body, follows up with a Tornado DDT, driving Nadia’s head into the mat.

Amber Westgate: Beautiful tornado DDT from Powers just now!

Adam LaRue: Powers is determined to win the match tonight and take the Viral Championship from Allen.

With Nadia dazed, Aubrianna climbs to the top rope, looking to hit her Simply The Best Moonsault. But before she can launch, Nadia rolls out of the ring, seeking refuge on the outside. Undeterred, Aubrianna adjusts her strategy, leaping off the top turnbuckle with a Diving Crossbody to the outside, crashing into Nadia and sending both women into the barricade. The audience is on their feet, cheering for the high-risk maneuver as both competitors lie motionless on the floor. Slowly, Aubrianna gets up, using the barricade for support. She sees Nadia stirring and, with a sudden burst of energy, delivers a Baseball Slide into a Head Scissors Takedown, whipping Nadia into the steel steps.

Crowd: You suck! You suck! You suck!

Sensing the end could be near, Aubrianna drags Nadia back into the ring and signals for her finishing combination. As Nadia struggles to get to her feet, Aubrianna bounces off the ropes and nails Nadia with The MVK, the Most Valuable Kick, a Black Mass reverse roundhouse kick that drops Nadia to one knee. The crowd is deafening as Aubrianna quickly ascends to the second rope, preparing to finish the match with Simply The Best Moonsault. She launches herself off the ropes, flipping gracefully in mid-air, and connects perfectly with the moonsault, landing squarely on Nadia’s chest. Aubrianna hooks the leg for the pin, and the referee slides into position.

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Amber Westgate: Close call for Nadia! She came close to not getting out of that one!

Adam LaRue: We almost had a new champion crowned right there.

NO! Nadia kicks out with a fraction of a second to spare. The audience is stunned, and Aubrianna can’t believe it. She sits back on her heels, frustration etched on her face. Nadia, fueled by sheer determination, forces herself to her feet. Aubrianna goes for another MVK, but this time, Nadia ducks under the kick and counters with a Discus Elbow Smash, rattling Aubrianna. Nadia follows up with a Scoop Brainbuster, spiking Aubrianna into the mat with authority. She then positions Aubrianna face down on the mat, a familiar glint of malice in her eyes as she prepares for one of her most brutal finishers, Tortured Chambers.

Crowd: Finish her! Finish her! Finish her!

With Aubrianna face down and barely conscious, Nadia stands in front of her, lifting her head by her arms. The crowd holds its breath as Nadia pauses for a moment, savoring the impending victory, before driving Aubrianna’s face into the mat with a vicious curb stomp. The impact is devastating, and Aubrianna lies motionless as Nadia rolls her over and covers her for the pin.

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE…!



Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner…AND STILL THE VIRAL CHAMPION…NADIA ALLEN!!!

Amber Westgate: It took years for her to get to this point, but in the end, it was all worth it! Nadia Allen has finally taken out the MVP!

Adam LaRue: Any doubters Allen had up to this point have definitely been told to zip it with that performance! And given the level of her performances so far, the only doubter she had may have been her opponent tonight!

Allen celebrates with her title as we fade!

WINNER: NADIA ALLEN (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: PINFALL (CURBSTOMP)

[Kai Morgan]

As the cameraman approached the dark room, a single spotlight shone underneath the door. The cameraman pushed the door open seeing Kaya sitting in the middle of the room with a screen projecting in front of her the last few months. She turns to see the cameraman standing there motioning for him to come and join her.

”the Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: you know when I'm watching this all back now, I've learned that it has been a good change. See that night, your right Lilith, you should have seen that coming. You knew what you were signing up for day one when you joined with me. Now, when you returned your pettiness cost me a championship. Then I took my break focused after my lost to you. I've lost everything because of you now… we almost lost our tag titles because of you, it seems the common denominator in my life of loss, is you…

Kaya shuts the projector off. She sits down on her chair looking up at the cameraman. She twirls a black rose in her hand.

”the Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: then I went on my own way, figuring I'll get you sometime after. When you got the #1 contendership over porter. That's when I started plotting. So after you had gotten to Kara, and you were cost a title. Which sorry by the way Kara, you were just in the way of my revenge. Then you knew what it felt like to be with nothing, have nothing. Tonight after I beat you, you will feel the way I do now.

Kaya laughed as she tossed up the black rose. She then caught up putting it in front of her face.

”the Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: alone and with nothing to lose, hopeless.

Kaya then places the rose on the ground

”the Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: Dracarys

The rose burst into flames as the light goes out in the room. Only thing still seen as the cameraman exited is the green flames on the rose.

[Kai Morgan]

A match is struck, as a lute is heard playing in the background, a shadow figure begins walking towards a hanging picture, as the man begins singing. The single match continued to burn as it it held to one side of the picture, where Kaya Parker had been standing, the woman lights the picture, as it begins to consume it, the words are heard as clear as day.

Now watch me laugh as I burn all the memories of you

The woman laughs as the one side came completely decimated by flames, she raised her hands out, and then turned as the arena went black. A loud laugh is heard through the arena, then silence, as a phrase is shown all over the arena.

"Do you regret it?"

Just then Circus by Halocene begins playing, Lilith Parker walks out from the back placing her hands behind her back, smirking, she moved her hands from behind her back to where her fedora was, pushing it up. She then stepped through getting a spotlight to follow her. She walked down the ramp, high fiving the fans there for her. She stopped handing her sunglasses to a little fan in the front row, as she took her fedora off. She stops at the bottom of the ramp spreading her feet, looking down for a moment then, getting hyped by the crowd, she lifts her arms above her head, and pyros go off. She then drops her arms, smirking.

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor just like a circus

Lilith then goes over to the stairs hopping up them, throwing her fedora to the floor. The cameraman catches her hat, she then slides through the middle rope. She climbs up on to the second turnbuckle posing for the fans. Hopping off the second rope, she turns around looking at the ring announcer, as she points over to the fans on the far side,

Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

CRO1 ONE FALL!!

Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Dallas, Texas…weighing in at 114 lbs…Lilith! Parker!

Lilith takes a bow, then takes her jacket off throwing it over to the cameraman. She turns around letting her back rest against the top turnbuckle, as she watched waiting.

The lights go out in the Arena. “Evil Ways” begins playing, as the fans begin to give a mixed reaction, a man in a three piece suit steps out in the shadows, looking at all the fans and laughing a bit, a woman follows out behind him as a white spotlight shines on the spot she stops. The black cowboy hat covers her face, along with a black bandana. She holds up a single black rose, looking at it carefully, then with a single word, she drops it.

“Dracarys”

With that a red fire ring forms around her as the music begins to pick up.

So I won't hide
Ooooo
I won't hide
Oooooo
I can't hide Yeah!
Ooooooo
I can't hide HEY!
My evil ways

She steps through the fire ring, then looks out at the fans continuing to give a mix reaction to her. She puts her hands up, and “Flowers” by Kayla King and Halocene begins playing. Kaya along with her coach, begins the slow walk down to the ring, she turns to him and he motions her to keep her eyes on the ring.. She turns back focusing her grey eyes on the ring, As she gets to the bottom, she stops taking the guitar she was wearing off, placing it at ringside.

Darrion Hughes: And her opponent…representing The Genesis of Destruction…from Dallas, Texas…weighing in at 114 lbs…Kaya! Parker!

Amber Westgate: It’s been since November! Nine straight months! Yet the violence between these two has not ceased for even a moment!

Adam LaRue: And I don’t think it will! Not until one of these two fall tonight!

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Kaya then walks over to the stairs looking up at the ring, she takes her hat off putting it on her guitar, then she climbs up the stairs. Kaya steps through the middle rope, then turns her orange hair floating in the wind. She pulls down her bandana, snarling a bit at the camera. Kaya then takes her jacket and bandana off, tossing them over the ropes. She backed into her corner as she looked out.



This one starts off hot, as both Kaya and Lilith rush to the center of the ring to trade some blows! Lilith gets the upper hand to start, nailing Kaya with a Knee Strike to the head before dropping her with a Discus Clothesline! Kaya rolls out of the ring now, with Lilith now seeing the chance to fly! She hits the ropes, looking as though she’s about to connect with a Suicide Dive! But this is a trick, with Lilith instead sliding out of the ring! Kaya sees right through this however, catching Lilith with a Big Boot that drops her to the ringside floor! Kaya gets Lilith up now, driving her head into the steel steps! Lilith crawls to the barricade, looking to use it to pull herself up, but Kaya right on top of her with a European Uppercut! She pushes Lilith back into the ring before going for the pin!

Kick out by Lilith! Kaya pulls her to her feet, pushing her back into the corner before hooking her with a set of Punches to the midsection!

Lilith fully gets to the top rope now, waiting for Kaya to get to her feet before nailing her with a Missile Dropkick! She goes for the pin now!

ONE…!

She gets her in position, tossing her to the mat with a Exploder Suplex before kipping up! Kaya tries making it back to her feet, only for Lilith to rush in and connect with the Wicked Stomp! Curb Stomp! But Lilith isn’t done there, waiting for Kaya to try making it to her feet before going for a second Wicked Stomp! Lilith is seething in the corner, seemingly no longer focused on the match and just wanting to hurt Kaya! She rushes out from the corner as Kaya tries to get up again, nailing her with a THIRD Wicked Stomp!

Amber Westgate: Jesus, just make this stop!

Adam LaRue: I don’t think Lilith is gonna stop! Not until her sister’s heart does!

She sets up in the corner, waiting for her to try and get up again before looking for a fourth Wicked Stomp! But before Lilith can reach her, Kaya collapses to the mat, unable to take anymore! This gives Lilith a bit of pause, as she begins to pull Kaya to feet by the head! She stares madly into Kaya’s eyes, almost tearing up at the sight of her face! She holds her for just a few more seconds, before pushing Kaya away! This serves to her detriment however, as Kaya turns around and connects with Protocol K! Discus Headbutt to Lilith! She quickly covers!

Lilith falls to the mat again as a red dot starts to form on her head! Lilith gets up again, with Kaya rushing in and again connecting with a FOURTH Protocol K! That red dot turns into a waterfall, as blood begins to pour out of Kaya’s head!

Amber Westgate: Holy shit…

Adam LaRue: Kaya Parker is endangering herself just to ensure Lilith stays down!

Kaya sets up in the corner, waiting for Lilith to get to her feet! The referee tries to check on her, but before they can do too much, Kaya rushes in again, nailing a FIFTH Protocol K! The official backs Kaya away, before checking on Lilith! The official doesn’t take long to look at Lilith’s start before calling for the bell!



Amber Westgate: Oh my…oh my god…

Adam LaRue: This is bad…

Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match due to a referee’s stoppage…Kaya! Parker!

Amber Westgate: This was not the ending to a match…it was more like the ending to a snuff film…

Adam LaRue: This is insane…I mean…is Lilith Parker gonna be alright after that!

Kaya stands tall, laughing in the corner as blood trickles down her face! Meanwhile, Lilith lays motionless on the mat! Medical personnel begin to flock to her as we fade!

WINNER: KAYA PARKER
RESULT: REFEREE’S STOPPAGE

[Kai Morgan]

The camera panned to the backstage interview area with Meliana Rodrigo standing there, in her normal cheery and friendly attitude plastered all over.

Meliana Rodrigo: Hello! Welcome back to Victory Series! My guest will participate in the Global Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat match later on tonight. Please welcome the “Masochist Genius”, Akane Yamashita!

Akane had walked into the frame, waving to the interviewer. She was dressed in her gear with one of her own shirts over her ring top.

Meliana Rodrigo: Hey, Akane! Alright, first off I wanted to ask, how are you feeling going into this triple threat match?

Yamashita smiled, clearly she had been learning English rather well, because every word she spoke was in the language.

Akane Yamashita: Well, uhh…it’s a lot of pressure for me, obviously. This is the first time I’m challenging for a World Championship in any of the companies that I have been a part of, so I’m taking that very seriously. I consider myself lucky that Zion is even trusting me in this position. All I have to do is prove that me being in this position isn’t a mistake.

Meliana Rodrigo: That’s a good answer. Now, you’ve had quite the issues with Liberty Hightower for a while now. How do you balance those issues AND the threat of Kara Carbajal?

Akane crossed her arms where she looked down for a moment just to think about the question. Yamashita sighed before she got back to the question at hand.

Akane Yamashita: Liberty Hightower…yeah, that’s like the thorn in my side that will never go away. We’ve fought so many times, and yet both of us still don’t really know who the better between the two of us really is. As much as I would want to pin Kara to win this match, my real goal in this match would be to pin Liberty Hightower to win the Global Heavyweight Championship. There would be no better way to get this all in the past then to finally pin Liberty to do something that I’ve been aiming for since I came to Zion. I think Liberty has some weird obsession with me, maybe because I’m the better of the two of us and she won’t admit that.

Meliana Rodrigo: Last question, Akane! I know it might still be a sore subject, but how will you bounce back from losing the SHINE High Speed Title recently? Will that affect your mindset going into this Triple Threat match?

Akane looked over to Meliana, almost an annoyed stare.


Akane Yamashita: Look, that’s the past. I’m not going to act like it won’t affect me, of course it will. Masami Tsuchiya sucked all of the life out of my body for long enough to make me pass out in the middle of the ring. Look, I was still picking glass out of my skin a couple days after that match, but that’s normal for me. This Triple Threat match is a different atmosphere, a different environment, and different opponents. Tonight, Zion! I will become your new Global Heavyweight Champion! I will become the guiding beacon of Mayhem and save this show from the grasp of Kara Carbajal. Kara has had an iron grip on Mayhem for long enough, and I will make sure that changes by the end of tonight.

Akane nodded at her own words as she walked away from the set, leaving Meliana to send off the segment.



Cameras move to catering backstage where some of the Zion roster are enjoying the refreshments offered. There’s a low murmur from the fans watching from within the seats as Jinx, The Jestress comes half heartedly skipping into the room, dressed in her ring gear sans her entrance top which is currently replaced by an old gray hoodie that looks as if it’s seen some years of use. The bottom hem is frayed and the drawstring for the hood is missing with the holes frayed around where the metal rings have since been removed or just fallen off. The woman, in her usual….unsettling yet chipper mood…comes walking into catering, clutching what looks to be a sewn together, male doll with black button eyes, wearing little blue jeans and a black hoodie of its own. The hood on the doll is down with wild black hair made of yarn atop its head. As she walks, Jinxy seems to be off in her own world, softly humming to herself.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”...dug a couple graves, they got their names up by the mausoleum…”

She pauses in her humming, bringing the doll up to her ear with a giddy grin on her lips before bringing it back to both hands.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”...give just what you get, place your bets, it’s my destiny…”

The bounce in her step picks up as she begins to dance the doll in her hands and starts to do a twirl.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”I LET IT DIE ON THE SIDE, WHAT YOU TOLD M–”

She stops abruptly when she almost runs smack right into a woman and immediately brings the doll to her chest, giggling bashfully.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Oh! Forgive us! We…got a little carried away…”

She turns the doll around in her hands to face the woman and tilts its head to the side.

The woman is, in fact, none other than Eleanor Segrave, Zion Wrestling’s Talent Psychiatrist, apparently back on duty here at Victory Series! Thankfully she has nothing in her hands as she steps back quickly when almost being bumped into and looks at Jinx with startled surprise on her face that soon fades into a warm smile.

Dr. Segrave: That’s quite alright, Jinx. Hello. How have you been?

Her attention lowers to the doll in the woman’s hands and she folds her own together.

Jinx’s face lights up with another smile and another bounce in her step. She looks not unlike a giddy child on Christmas morning.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Oh, it’s such a wonderful day, Miss Ellie! Jinxy gets to play in the Victory Series! And after this when I play with four…Jinxy will play with Killer–”

Jinx stops short and looks down at the doll in her hands, grinning big.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Very good, Lou!”

She looks back up at the Doctor with a giggle and motions to the doll.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”This is Lou.”

There’s a silent pause as Jinx looks down and frowns at the “Lou.”

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Well don’t be rude! Say hello!”

That smile returns and she looks back up at the Doctor.

While most others would probably give odd looks and react with concern at such behavior, Eleanor smiles warmly again and nods to the doll.

Dr. Segrave: Well it is very nice to meet you Lou. Jinx brought you to see tonight’s show, I see. You must be quite the wrestling fan!

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Oh, he really is! He’s my biggest fan!”

She starts to say something else before stopping and looking down at the doll for another moment of silence. Her eyes go wide and her jaw drops with a gasp as she suddenly says.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”You’re right, indeed! We must make haste!”

Jinx looks back up at the Doctor with an apologetic smile.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”We wouldn’t wanna be late.”

Dr. Segrave: Oh dear, no you wouldn’t! Don’t let me keep you. Have a good match tonight, Jinx!

Eleanor glances back to Lou the doll with another smile.

Dr. Segrave: Lou, again it was very nice to meet you. Enjoy the rest of the show!

She steps around Jinx as they begin to part ways but turns back for a moment.

Dr. Segrave: Umm, say…Jinx? How would you like to sit and talk sometime? Perhaps, next week.

Jinx is already several feet from the Doctor when she hears her calling and whirls around again. She looks a bit confused at the notion of meeting up to talk and tilts her head, quizzically.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Talk? About what?”

Eleanor shakes her head and shrugs slightly with her hands.

Dr. Segrave: You know, just things. You’re still mostly new here. I’d like to try to get to know you more. I’ll prepare the usual tea and finger snacks. You can tell me all about yourself. You can even bring Lou with you!

She adds the invitation to Jinx’s doll at the end, motioning to Lou in her hands and keeps that smile on her face.

Jinx hears that and her eyes light up with joy and excitement. Her jaw drops into a big smile and she giggles excitedly.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”A tea party…. You’re inviting us to a tea party?”

She immediately looks down at the doll and begins to bounce happily.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Lou, we’re invited to a tea party! We’ll be there most certainly!”

She looks down silently at the doll and rolls her eyes, patting the doll’s head.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”Oh Lou, don’t be such a bummer. It’s a party, there’s nothing funner!”

Her head snaps back up to the Doctor with that wild grin of hers again.

Jinx, The Jestress: ”We’ll see you there! Bye!”

At that, Jinx (with Lou in hand) suddenly turns and runs off giggling, leaving some of the surrounding people who just sat by witnessing this exchange looking bewildered.

The camera watches Jinx go for a moment before panning back around to Eleanor. Once she’s sure Jinx is gone, the joyful smile on her face fades to a look of curiosity and concern before she too turns and begins heading back to the staff office area of the arena.

[Kai Morgan]

Darrion Hughes: The following Tag Team Contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

Darrion Hughes: And it is for the Zion Wrestling WORLD! TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONSHIPS!



All the screens go black for a moment as the music kicks in, each beat sparks a jump from the lights and a flash on each of the screens, with things finally kicking up as the song starts in earnest!

Bet you think you get the picture
Bitch, you don't know how good I treat ya
Shake it off, this pride and glory
You dig up so many stories

Out first comes Jessi Ozborne, who looks out to the crowd as Jordan Majors walks up behind her and puts her arm around her. The two look to each other, giving each other the Too Sweet as they may their way down the ramp. They finally make it to the ringside as the chorus kicks off.

I'm pretty like a car crash
Ugly as a lullaby
You really wanna try it
Experiment on me

Majors rolls into the ring, while Ozborne rushes to the other side of the ring apron. She gestures to the crowd before climbing inside, with Majors waiting for her as the two do their signature poses together. They make their way to the corner, waiting for their opponents as the music fades.



The guitar riff kicks in, and the Gold and Yellow lights flitter around the stage as the crowd start to react.

Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow
Prey, we are all prey for the sorrow

After a few moments, from the back out jogs Max Walker, a shit-eating grin stretching his face as he poses, slapping at the title belt around his waist, and basking in the hatred. Their hatred just seems to drive him on more, and he jogs from one side of the stage to the other, waving on and acting a tool. As Barry MacKenzie makes his way from the back, there's a coldness to the Big Man's eyes as he stares into the camera and then just keeps stalking down the ramp. Max soon joins his mate, slapping him on the back and rubbing at his shoulders from behind as they approach the ring. As they reach the squared circle, Max keeps Barry between himself and the Queens, letting MacKenzie climb up and into the ring before following him up and in. Barry keeps his eyes on Jordan and Jessi, while behind him, Max climbs up the turnbuckles, slapping at the belt and pointing around to yell at the fans before lowering it and looking back at the Queens.

Darrion Hughes: Introducing first, the challengers…representing The Queens of Chaos…at a combined weight of 251 lbs…the team of Jessi Ozborne and Jordan! Majors!!

And their opponents….at a combined weight of 550 lbs, they are the reigning ZION World Tag Team Champions…..Max Walker and Barry MacKenzie…..THE CARLTON CREW

Jessi and Jordan share a look before fist-bumping with a smile and Jessi steps out onto the apron, while on the other side, Max and Barry share a look before Max jerks his head towards the apron, sending Barry out. Max and Jordan finish stretching as the referee calls for the bell.



Max starts to slowly saunter forward after the bell rings, Jordan grinning as she moves to meet him, but Max suddenly raises both hands up, palms out-stretched, calling for peace and pointing behind Jordan and over at Jessi! Walker waves his hand telling her to come on, and Jordan glances back at Jessi….and gets blindsided by a forearm shot from Walker! The cheap shot is enough to knock her down and Max cackles as he watches Jordan stumble up, and right into a clothesline. The Motor-Mouth of Melbourne drags up the Star of Tomorrow and drills her with a quick European Uppercut, and then shoves her towards his corner, following her in with a shoulder to the ribs, before leaning back up and slapping Jordan across the face! Max turns to start jawing at Jessi, taunting her and stalking towards her, the referee getting in Max’s face and demanding he focus back on Majors….and behind Max’s back, Majors pops out of the corner, stepping forward with a grin. The crowd start to buzz, and Max senses something is wrong, turning quickly and throwing a wild punch, but Jordan catches it and tosses Max with an armdrag! Walker bounces to his feet and stumbles back around, only to be drilled with another arm-drag. Max bounces up and staggers away, only to come face-to-face with Jessi! Osbourne is still on the apron, but just the sight of the smiling Jessi has Max putting on the brakes and going to turn away, and right into a superkick from Majors, dropping him again! Max quickly rolls from the ring, clutching at his jaw and stumbling away from the ring, trying to get some distance between himself and Jordan.

Amber Westgate: Max Walker needs to get his eyes on the prize if he hopes to get past the Queens tonight!

Adam LaRue: He’ll be fine Amber. This is just a small setback. Look at how smart he is, slipping from the ring to catch his breath.

Jordan goes to move towards the ropes, looking to climb out of the ring and do some more damage, but the referee stops her, backing her up and looking out at Max, where they start counting him out. Max paces back and forth a few moments, ignoring the referees count, but Jordan is tired of the referee as well, and the Star of Tomorrow hits the ropes, bounces back, and uses the referee’s body as a springboard, taking off and launching herself right over the top rope and crashing down on Walker with a plancha wiping him out! Majors is quickly up and bouncing to her feet, slapping hands with some ringside fans as the adrenaline floods her system, before she turns and drags Max up, rolling him into the ring. Jordan hops up onto the apron, and with a grin out at the crowd, slingshots herself in and down across Max’s head with a legdrop, before she sits on his chest and hooks a leg.

ONE...!

T-NO!

Walker forces a shoulder up. Majors wastes little time in reaching down to drag Walker up, hooking an arm around his head and dragging him to the Queens corner and tagging in Jessi. Jessi grins as she climbs in, with Jordan shifting to hold Max’s arms behind his back, and allowing osbourne a perfect free shot at Max’s jaw, punching him right in that big mouth. Majors grins and lets go to step out onto the apron, and Jessi seizes her opportunity with a stumbled Max to drill him with a stiff calf kick, hobbling Walker. She fires off with a second, and then a third which drops max to one knee, clutching at his thigh. Osbourne backs up a step, pointing at Max with a wide grin, and then stepping and leaping for her Bangarang but Max drops under it and Jessi crashes down to the mat, and Max seizes his opportunity to dive roll across the ring and tag in Barry! MacKenzie slowly climbs into the ring, and Jessi glances up to see the big man climbing into the ring, a visible gulp clearing her throat as she glances back at Jordan. The two Queens share a moment, but Jessi finally looks back to Barry, and pushes to her feet with a determined look in her eyes, and then steps towards the center of the ring, as the buzz goes throughout Stadium, knowing business is picking up.

Amber Westgate: The Queens felt confident when Max was in the ring, but Barry is a whole different animal, Adam!

Adam LaRue: Absolutely. Its one of the greatest strengths of the Carlton Crew, literally.

Jessi waits until Barry is in the center of the ring before firing off her first stiff kick to Barry’s meaty thigh, the impact drawing a wince from the big man, and giving Jessi hope enough to fire off a second shot, but Barry checks it with his leg, and then bursts forward with a shoulder charge, sending Osbourne crashing backwards. Jessi scrambles back to her feet quickly, dashing in again, but Barry catches her mid-run and hoists her overhead with a gorilla press! Jessi kicks and squirms high in the air but there’s nowhere to go but down, and Barry soon drops her down, driving the wind from her as she crashes into the mat, before Barry unleashes a VB Cooler right across Jessi’s spine! The big meaty form of MacKenzie squashing Jessi draws a groan from the audience, and Barry just lets the crowd linger for a moment, before he turns Jessi over and covers her, weakly hooking a leg as the referee slides in.

ONE...!

TW-NO!

Jessi kicks out! Barry barely pauses as he climbs up, seizing Jessi by her hair to drag her up and then whipping her across and into the Crew’s corner. Moving in, Barry tags Max back in, and then yanks Jessi out of the corner, hoisting her up and into a Samoan Drop, crashing her into the mat, before rolling aside as Max flies and lands with the legdrop to finish off the FISH N CHIPS! Walker hooks a leg and the referee is quick to slide into place.

ONE...!

TWO

TH-NO!

Osbourne forces a shoulder up! Max looks back at Barry, who holds his hand out, signalling he’s ready for a tag, but Max merely shakes him off with a laugh, and instead climbs to his feet, getting a handful of Jessi’ hair with one hand, before turning her to face him, and starts talking trash to the World’s Finest, and follows it up with a nasty slap right across her jaw!

Amber Westgate: Max showing absolute disrespect for Jessi Osbourne there! There’s been no love lost between these two!

Max waits until Jessi pushes up onto wobbly feet and then drills her with a stiff left jab, dropping her back down to one knee. Max cackles at that, bouncing on his feet, and waving at Jessi to rise again! Jessi pushes up onto her feet and again Max drills her with a stiff left jab, and then a second that puts her back down to a knee. It takes a Jessi a moment to climb up again and again shes greeted with one…two….three stiff left jabs, leaving Osbourne stunned, and Max starts shuffling his feet, rolls his fists…and spins and drops Jordan with a haymaker! Majors is quickly up and scrambling to climb into the ring, but the referee is right there to hold her out, and Max keeps cackling adding a raised finger to piss off Jordan some more! Max backs up….and Jessi seizes him in a reverse waistlock, as Max gasps! Jessi spins Max around for her Bae-Blade but mid spin Max counters with a quick right to Jessi’s gut and a LAST DANCE that drops the Queen of Queens! Walker dives atop Jessi, hooking both legs….but the referee is still arguing with Jordan and getting her back on the apron! The crowd count to five before Majors gets back on the apron, and the referee turns and sees the pin, diving across to slap the mat!

ONE...!

TWO

THR-NO!

Jessi Osbourne kicks out! Max Walker is incredulous, staring at the referee and demanding he count the three!

Amber Westgate: Max Walker can’t believe it! He had the three! Everyone saw it!!

Adam LaRue: It was his own damn fault, Amber. If he hadn’t cheap-shotted Jordan, she wouldn’t have been trying to get in the ring and distracting the referee.

Max finally stops arguing with the referee, instead reaching down to drag Osbourne up and then dropping her with a snap suplex, leaving her laid out in the center of the ring. Max climbs to a neutral corner, and then blows a kiss over at Jordan, before leaping and flipping for his MAXIMUM EFFORT....but Osbourne rolls out of the way and Max crashes and burns! The crowd starts to buzz as they see Jessi rolling for her corner, and it takes Max a moment to move as well, but he does as he rolls towards his corner. Max reaches out and manages to reach over and slap hands with Barry, but Jessi dives forward to tag in Jordan at the same time!

Jordan jumps into the ring and runs forward, ducking a clothesline from MacKenzie, and she springboards off the ropes, flying back with an elbow that drills Barry in the jaw and stumbles him. Jordan wastes little time in hitting the ropes again, once more springboarding back, this time with a roundhouse kick that drops Barry to one knee! Majors spots the weakened Barry on one knee, and she charges in, leaps, and drops him with the Chapter 11! Before Majors can cover Barry though, Max Walker drags her out under the bottom rope! Max goes to slam Majors head into the ring-post, but the Star of Tomorrow reverses the momentum and sends Max crashing head-first into the steel! Majors climbs up onto the apron, sizing up a slowly rising Barry. She sets her target and as he reaches his feet, she flies in for her CASH OUT....but Barry dodge rolls forward and Majors crashes and burns! She scrambles back to her feet, just in time for Barry to drop her with a Victorian Cross! Barry drapes his sore body across Majors and the referee slides in to count.

ONE...!

TW-NO!

Osbourne dives in and breaks the count! Barry now finds himself rising up and getting drilled with rights, lefts, and then a spinning back-fist that leaves him wobbly. Osbourne helps Majors up, and the two ladies size Barry up, and then unleash a double superkick to his jaw, knocking Barry right down! Big Mac is down, and the Queens take a moment to catch their breath, before they see him stirring and trying to roll to his feet again! Jessi backs up a few steps and then charges towards the doubled over MacKenzie, leaping up and driving his head down into the mat with the RUDE AWAKENING! Barry is downed, collapsing over onto his back, and Majors seizes her chance! Scrambling to the corner, she climbs up, sizes up her landing target, and then flies and crashes down with the MONEY DROP! Her landing is perfect, and Majors flops backwards onto Barry as the crowd counts with the referee.

ONE...!

TWO

THR-NO!

Amber Westgate: MAX WALKER! WALKER WITH THE SAVE! HE JUST DRAGGED MAJORS OUT OF THE RING!

Adam LaRue: That was as close as it gets, Amber! One milli second later and we’d have new champs!

Max Walker seizes his chance to slam Jordan head first into the steel steps, and then heaves her into the barricade, before he gets spun around and drilled in the jaw by Jessi! Osbourne punches away at the Melbourne Motor-Mouth, before he stumbles away and rolls into the ring to try and get some room. Jessi follows him, and as Max stands up, Jessi climbs up as well, firing off a superkick….and Max sidesteps it, but the referee doesn’t! Jessis foot catches the referee square in the jaw, knocking them out and a moment later Barry drills a stunned Jessi with the Victorian Cross! The Carlton Crew are the last ones standing, and Max takes a moment to glance around, before stepping towards Barry and patting him on the shoulder as he grins, knowing this is their moment. Looking out at Majors, he slaps Barry in the chest and tells him to fetch her, and Big Mac does as he’s asked, while Max glances down to make sure the referee is still out….and then reaches into his shorts and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles!

Amber Westgate: Those brass knuckles are here again! And the referee is out!

Max makes a show of sliding the brass knuckles on as Barry gets Jordan back into the ring. Max waves at him to hold up the Star of Tomorrow, and Barry sets her up in a full-nelson, barely on her feet as Max cackles while staring right at her. Max pumps his fist a couple of times, and then steps in and swings hard….just as Majors slips out of Barry’s grip and drops to her knees, and Max DRILLS Barry! Big Mac collapses like the giant he is and max stares in absolute shock at what he’s done, and it leaves him completely unprepared as Jessi spins him around and drops Walker with the PARALLAX! Walker rolls out of the ring, and Jessi drags Jordan across on top of Barry, before slapping the referee awake as well. The referee sees the pin, and just for added safety, Jessi dives atop the pile as well!

ONE...!

TWO

THREE!



Darrion Hughes: Your winners of this match and NEEEEEEEEW World Tag Team Champions, The Queens of Chaos, JORDAN MAJORS AND JESSI OSBOURNE!

Amber Westgate: They did it! Once again The Queens of Chaos are the Champions!

Adam LaRue: Max thought he had a plan that would guarantee his team the win, but it came back to bite him right in the ass and cost The Carlton Crew their gold!!

The Queens are handed their gold, grinning and hugging one another as they rise up and hold the titles aloft, while at ringside a fuming Max Walker can be seen glaring at the still out-cold Barry. The focus is on the Queens right now though, as Jessi and Jordan celebrate their win right here at Victory Series

WINNERS: JESSI OZBORNE & JORDAN MAJORS (#ANDNEW)
RESULT: PINFALL (PARALLAX)

[Kai Morgan]

Abruptly, we cut backstage, to a close-up shot of the World Heavyweight Championship.

And for a moment, that’s all there is--just the title.

Kaitlin Williams (VO): “Get a good long look at it...”

The camera starts to pan backwards, and eventually we reveal the reigning champion as well, Kaitlin Williams holding her title aloft as if she were showing it to the entirety of Orlando, instead of a single cameraman who’s interrupted her preparations. Notably, there’s tape across the bridge of Kaitlin’s nose...but, nonetheless, the Crown Jewel wears her omnipresent smirk as she looks into the camera, holding the title up a moment longer than particularly necessary before draping it over her shoulder.

Kaitlin Williams: “Daria Dorsey...wherever the hell you are right now, eyes glued to whatever TV you’re sitting in front of? I want you to hit that rewind button, and take a good long look...at this title. Take in everything about it, every single detail you can commit to memory. I want you to remember what it felt like, to win it again. I want you to remember what it felt like to hold it in your hands for the cup of coffee that I let you pretend like you still mattered. I want you to remember what it felt like to hear that announcement, declaring you World’s Champion again...I want you to remember that thrill, that shiver that went up your spine, hearing all those idiots that are actually impressed by someone with a bra size bigger than her IQ cheer for you...”

For a moment, Kaitlin lets the thought sit and simmer--but, after a moment, that little, confident smirk twists into more of a sneer, her tone dropping as malice fills her voice.

Kaitlin Williams: “...because then, I want you to remember that nobody gets lucky against me twice. I want you to remember that you already wasted your one chance at ever stopping me. See...you made a mistake, last week...a couple of them, really; first, you shoulda been better with that cheap-shot you swore up and down you didn’t need...but really, the bigger mistake you made, was giving me a reason to want to hurt you. Come in closer, I want this to really sink in...I want to make sure, wherever the hell she’s watching this...Daria understands every-fucking-thing that’s coming for her tonight...”

The cameraman actually does move in closer to the Crown Jewel, albeit...tentatively, notably staying out of arm’s reach of the World’s Champion.

Kaitlin Williams: “I want you to remember that there is nothing...you can do to change what’s going to happen tonight. I am going to walk down that ramp...and for however long it takes, I am going to do whatever I want to you. If I want to twist your head off your shoulders, I’m going to do it; if I want to snap your arm at the elbow, I’m going to do it; if I want to break...every single one of your teeth...so we aren’t subjected to your voice anymore, then I’m going to fucking do it. You made a mistake...by giving me a reason to want to put you down, Dorsey, and when that bell rings, I’m going to show you what a fucking mistake it really was. You don’t get another crack at being champion, you don’t get another pat on the back for managing to fluke your way to a win over me, tonight you learn what happens when you piss off the best fuckin’ wrestler on the planet.”

Kaitlin Williams: “And you get to go back to doing what you do best...you get another lesson in what happens when you step to the Crown...”

Kaitlin’s composure gives way to the anger that’s been bubbling inside her for weeks; she grits her teeth, glaring into the camera, taking just a half-step forward, closing the distance between herself and the camera.

Kaitlin Williams: “You. BOW.”

Kaitlin almost growls into the camera, as we hold on that shot of a fuming, angry World
Champion, before cutting elsewhere.



Maki Megumi appears in front of the camera after the camera cuts back to the back of the stage. She is ready for her match against ISIS. She has a look in her eyes that shows determination for the upcoming match. She has a goal to defeat ISIS, and it shows in her determined eyes. Maki Megumi turns to stare at the cameraman before she lets out a small smile. With a smile that shows her confidence She waved slightly to the cameraman as the cameraman closed up to Maki Megumi, while the fans in Zion Wrestling Stadium started chanting Maki Megumi's name, which boosted Maki Megumi's confidence even more.

Maki Megumi: I wasted months of service giving someone what they deserve. That is not deserved. I wasted months of time turning myself into a dishonorable person. I turned myself into a monster that ruined many people's opportunities. I became an annoying person. I did something to be loyal to someone who really And just one selfish person, ISIS is that person I'm talking about. I won't lie that I got an opportunity because of Genesis Of Destruction. After that, I got a lot of opportunities. There was a time when I was very happy. I feel like I'm just doing what ISIS wants and that's my happiness. But one day it changed everything. WarGames was the turning point that made me feel like I was wrong. I feel like I'm giving my allegiance to the wrong person. I feel like I'm doing the wrong thing. And of course I was right. ISIS tried to punish me for my Genesis Of Destruction loss at WarGames. After all, look what ISIS did to me. That's why I chose to betray ISIS at Destiny III, because I wasn't happy with Genesis. Of Destruction anymore, I'm no longer happy with ISIS. I'm glad I saw ISIS defeated at Destiny III.

Maki Megumi: I know after betraying ISIS what will come after that. And I wasn't wrong, ISIS wouldn't let me be happy after betraying ISIS in Destiny III, but this was the fight I'd been waiting for. It's a story that I want to end on my own. If this is my destiny I would like to do it myself. And I will never again let the false gods of ISIS dictate my destiny. ISIS may think that I will always do what ISIS wants, but I would say that is stupid. a lot I didn't come here to be anyone's underdog. I'm not here to be someone's tool for success. I was tired of people thinking I was doing it for ISIS. I was so disgusted with myself at the time for being a lost cause. But this match is my chance. A chance to prove that I'm better than Genesis Of Destruction. I will be myself and I will defeat ISIS. Defeat the people who will destroy me. ISIS, you said you would make me unhappy. But I'm sorry, I'm so happy. Especially I know that you will not let me go. So it's time for me to show you that I can beat you. As for me, I have no fear. So what do you think you're going to do to me in this match? Show it off, ISIS. But at the end of this match, it's only me who's the winner.

Maki finishes her words before she walks off the camera and she walks through the curtains and entering the arena while the camera fading away.

[Kai Morgan]

Darrion Hughes: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

「はなまるぴっぴはよいこだけ」by 石川綾子 (Ayako Ishikawa) began to play throughout the arena before Maki Megumi walked out and stopped on the stage before she slowly raised her head to look at the ring with eyes that showed how much determination for the match. She knelt down on the stage, stretched out her arms and looked up at the sky, as black angel wings appeared on the LED screen behind Maki Megumi, before pyros were set off on both sides of the stage. Before the lights in the arena faded to dark, a blue spotlight lit up Maki Megumi's body. Maki slowly got up and started walking down the ramp.

As the ramp area plays, graphics of a hand appearing to emerge from a pit and being consumed by fire as Maki Megumi slowly walks past stops before reaching the ring. She looked to her side to make eye contact with the fans on either side of her before she walked up the steel steps to enter the ring. She stopped in the middle of the ring and stretched out her arms again with the entire stadium lights up again before Maki poses in her signature pose before she corners her and takes off her black leather jacket and hands it to the timekeeper when she gets closer to the ropes before she waits for her opponent or staring at her opponent with a look of determination in her eyes.

Darrion Hughes: Introducing first! Hailing from Okinawa, Japan! At five feet, four inches tall, weighing in at 110 pounds! She is “The Scarlet Angel” Maki Megumi!

The lights go out. 'Bad' by Royal Deluxe begins to play. A single spotlight shines over the entrance. Inside the spotlight Isis has her back turned to the camera. She turns around. Flexes. Hold her pose for a couple of seconds. Then she saunters down to the ring with the spotlights following her. Upon reaching the ring she walks up the ring steps, walks across the apron. She signals for the referee to come over to open the ropes. The ref obliges. S

She walks to the center of the ring, awaiting her are three full length mirrors. The lights in the arena come alive. Isis turns around to look at herself in the mirror. She flexes to her heart's content admiring what a physical specimen she is. She turns around, drops to the mat, performs push ups in a manner where she is simply showing off. Isis walks over to the turnbuckle, she leans back as she watches people remove the mirrors from the ring. She remains there until the match starts.

Darrion Hughes: Introducing her opponent! Hailing from Chicago, Illinois! At six feet tall, weighing in at 160 pounds! Representing G.O.D., she is ISIS!

Amber Westgate:e Oh, the tension between these two is palpable! These two women absolutely hate each other and I can’t wait to see them go at it!

Adam LaRue:e Maki Megumi and ISIS were once considered friends until Maki knew she was being taken advantage of. ISIS is a woman who will use everyone for her own keepsake. Alright, no more wasting time! Here we go!



Maki and ISIS are in their separate but opposing corners. The two women are enjoying the momentum from the crowd cheering them on inside the Zion Stadium. ISIS keeps her composure but Maki has been ready for this moment. The two competitors exit their corners and circle to the ring to the audience’s delight. ISIS waves her off but Maki demands for her to meet in the center of the ring.

Crowd:
MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI!

Once they meet together, a simple collar and elbow-tie up leads to ISIS shoving Maki back in the corner brushing her hands on her face. The match official warns ISIS to back off to which she does after being counted to four; ISIS swings for a quick Clothesline but Maki ducks under the thrown arm for a Knife Edge Chop into her opponent’s chest!

Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Amber Westgate:e ISIS is not happy being embarrassed! Maki better be prepared.

ISIS rubs her chest from the Knife Edge Chop and looks back to Maki telling her to come on. Instead, ISIS takes charge of Maki and catches her in her grasp to lift her off the mat and drive her back first into the corner turnbuckles. She continues the offensive by striking her shoulder into the ribs followed by continuous Shoulder Barges! The referee demands ISIS to get out of the corner and she obeys carrying her opponent with her for a simple Power Body Slam in the center of the ring!

Adam LaRue:e ISIS with the immediate power advantage!

ISIS reaches down for a handful of hair and yanks Maki back to her feet. She takes her right arm then launches her to the ropes and Maki rebounds under a thrown right arm. ISIS falls down to the mat attempting to trip her but her opponent hops over her to run to the ropes again and rebound with a Running Dropkick into her chest!

Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The Dropkick pushes ISIS into the ropes and Maki is on her feet already. She takes charge and lands another Running Dropkick that pushes ISIS out of the ring to the outside mat. Once Maki stands up, she runs to the ropes behind her and rebounds to dive in between the top and middle rope for a Suicide Dive!

Amber Westgate:e Suicide Dive by Maki Megumi! She’s bringing the fight to ISIS and the crowd is with her every second of the way!

Maki stands up from the landing leaving ISIS to suffer in her recovery. She reaches for her opponent’s hair and drags ISIS to her feet before landing a Roundhouse Kick into her ribs to keep her steady. She tries to take the right arm but ISIS spins around to launch her into the steel post. Maki feels the impact and collapses down onto the ringside mat holding onto her head!

Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adam LaRue:e What a terrible landing from Maki! ISIS spun around and launched her into the steel post and she might be out!

The impact from the landing causes Maki to fall to the ringside mat. In addition, the referee leans his body in between the ropes demanding for both competitors in the ring. ISIS manages to drag her into the ring and then lift her off the canvas for a Running Shoulder Power slam in the center of the ring.

Amber Westgate:e Running Shoulder Powerslam Here comes the pin attempt!

ONE...!

TWO...!

No! Maki kicks out from the pin attempt and ISIS slaps her down on the back of her head. Maki stands up trying to fight back with Forearm Blows but gets stopped in her tracks from a quick knee strike to the ribs. She holds onto her right arm and launches her into the nearest corner. Maki’s back slams against the turnbuckles until eating a Corner Splash! To make matters worse, before Maki can walk out, ISIS has her in her grasp for an Exploder Suplex in the ring!

Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adam LaRue:e Corner Splash followed by the Exploder Suplex! ISIS is enjoying making Maki pay and here is another pin attempt!

ONE...!

TWO...!

Maki kicks out again! Orlando is really getting behind Maki but ISIS manages to try a different technique. Instead, she sits behind on a knee and clasps her hands under the chin of Maki applying a Rear Chinlock! The overwhelming size and power advantage adds more torque to the submission which means Maki is in a lot of trouble as the official leans down to check on the submission hold.

Crowd:
MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI! MAKI!

Amber Westgate:e ISIS is enjoying this! She’s laughing at Maki in the submission hold!

ISIS yells at Maki to just give up but she refuses. The smaller opponent begins to find the strength to fight back against the hold on her to ISIS’ surprise. Maki rises onto her feet carrying ISIS’s weight until slapping the hold off of her. She leaps backwards off the mat to clobber ISIS with a Pele Kick on top of her head that makes the former world champion fall back into the ropes. Upon the rebound, Maki takes her down with a Running Tornado Kick leaving both women down on the mat!

Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adam LaRue:e Pele Kick and the Tornado Kick! Maki Megumi is back in this match and she refuses to quit!

Maki is the first of the two to rise. She stands on her feet and sees ISIS beginning to stand on her hands and knees. Maki approaches her as she stands upright on her knees to deliver a Roundhouse Kick into the chest! Another one, another one and more continue to land as she delivers the kicks in a heated fashion letting all the anger out! She takes a step back and goes for a Roundhouse Kick into the head but ISIS ducks under it before having her up in a Fireman’s Carry!

Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Maki Megumi slides down off the shoulders of ISIS to land on her feet behind her. She leaps off the canvas to catch onto the head for the Falling Neckbreaker!

Amber Westgate:e Maki Megumi is back in the match! The Leaping Neckbreaker was perfect and she’s looking to end it early!

ISIS lands down on the canvas and Maki runs to the ropes, leaps onto the middle rope and launches herself backwards for the Springboard Moonsault collapsing her weight onto ISIS! She quickly hooks the leg!

Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ISIS shoves her off easily and begins to rise onto her feet. Maki stalks her, utilizing the right moment to skip sideways for the Superkick but ISIS ducks under the strike! Instead, ISIS leaps in the air the moment Maki turns around and lands the Bicycle Kick into the skull that drops her down to the mat!

Adam LaRue:e The Bicycle Kick! Maki got her head almost taken off by the signature blow and here is the pin attempt!

ONE...!

TWO…!

THR-

Maki shoots her right shoulder up and ISIS cannot believe it! She slaps the mat in frustration and face washes Maki trying to humiliate her. Instead, Maki slowly begins to get back to her senses when she is yanked up onto her feet and then risen onto the right shoulder of ISIS! However, Maki falls down behind her and lands the Superkick to the back of her head!

Crowd:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Amber Westgate:e RYO NO IKARI!

ISIS falls down onto her knees and Maki quickly takes her head in between her legs. The former world champion is groggy which means she lifts her body off the mat enough to sit down, spiking her head from the Snap Piledriver! The audience explodes as Maki turns ISIS over onto her back and goes for the pin attempt!

Adam LaRue:e WRATH OF THE SCARLET ANGEL! MAKI’S GOING TO WIN! THIS IS IT!

ONE...!

TWO...!

THRE-NO!

The former champion kicked out before the referee made contact with the three-count. The audience is booming and Maki knows what she has to do. She slowly stands up and backs up into a corner hyping herself up and remembering everything ISIS did to her. Orlando is ready and she sees an opportunity to strike hard when ISIS crawls on her hands and knees. Unfortunately, the moment Maki tries to run out from the corner, she feels something grabbing her foot to stop and it’s none other than Eden Sterling!

Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Amber Westgate:e WHAT THE HELL IS EDEN STERLING DOING?! THIS MATCH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER!

Maki kicks Eden off of her and yells at her to stay away. However, the distraction played to ISIS’ benefit after catching Maki out of nowhere with another Bicycle Kick into the corner. To make it worse, Maki immediately gets picked up on the right shoulder of ISIS in a seated position as she runs to the center of the ring for the One Arm Powerbomb!

Crowd:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Adam LaRue:e WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA! NOT LIKE THIS! MAKI DESERVED THIS WIN!!

ONE...!

TWO...!

THREE!!



“Bad” by Royal Deluxe plays from the venue’s interior surround systems and ISIS shoves Maki away with a smirk on her face. She stands in the center of the ring getting her arm raised by the referee and Eden climbs the steel steps to enter into the ring not fazed by what happened.

Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner by pinfall, ISIS!

Both Eden Sterling and ISIS are enjoying the beautiful taste of victory. Maki rolls under the bottom rope until receiving assistance from the match official. However, the camera transitions to inside the ring where ISIS appreciates Eden as she steps forward with her arms raised to gloat to the main camera. However, Eden stands on her right side with her eyes staring at ISIS with other intentions given how narrowed they are. The continued stare remains on ISIS although she’s celebrating and Eden doesn’t break that glare.

Amber Westgate:e Maki Megumi gave her all and almost had that match won if it wasn’t for Eden Sterling! I don’t know what the hell is going on but there’s going to be more questions than answers tonight. Congratulations to ISIS but I don’t think a celebration will be all genuine if you get what I mean.

WINNER: ISIS
RESULT: PINFALL (WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA)

[Kai Morgan]

We open backstage near the ready area. There we find the reigning ZION Wrestling Hardcore Champion, Kimberly Williams, dressed in her crimson red and black ring gear. He championship belt is wrapped around her waist. She has her beloved pal and penguin plushy, the deadly Wasley, in her right hand.

“You know what bugs me, Wasley? I have made it clear that I am ready, willing, and able to fight anyone and everyone in any company. I am willing to defend this championship against anyone at all! I have taken on four people, five people, six people on at a time in death matches and never backed down. You think I would back down from one big ass B-Rate horror movie reject? No! I welcome the carnage and mayhem that ol’ Dammy Simmy can bring to the table, because I plan to return it right back to him tenfold! We can paint the town red in each other’s blood and give my Kimmymaniacs a real show!” Kimberly shakes her head. “But NO! He decides it is better business practice to just jump me from behind…” Williams shrugs her shoulders. “...am I asking for too much? Simmons had to do was ask and I would have granted him a title shot. But he wants to do the macho badass deal of blindsiding me. Ya think he’s overcompensating?” Kimberly throws her head back and laughs. “But then again, it won’t matter soon, will it? Because tonight he gets his title shot. And I will maim him. I will disembowel him. I will…”

The Queen of the Death Match is on quite a roll when she is interrupted by the arrival of her half-sister, the blonde haired beauty known as Jessica Lasiewicz. The Archangel is wearing tight, form fitting jeans, a white t-shirt, boots, and a black hooded leather jacket. A stoic gaze is etched across her face. Kimberly grins from ear to ear upon seeing her sister and immediately embraces her in a big hug.

“Jess! What a surprise!” Kim exclaims. “I’d call you Jessie but we already have one of those, so Jess it is. Or maybe Bob?”

“Silence.” Jessica remarks. Kim smirks.

“Now you sound like your irritable father.”

“Kim…you are my sister…and you know that regardless of what promotion we are on, or even what brand of ZION we are on, I always have your back. You are defending that Hardcore Championship against someone who is very dangerous by himself and on top of that, Simmons has backup and he is willing to make use of it. And you understand that if that were to happen, it would be all legal in a Hardcore Championship Match. So I am here to let you know that tonight, I have your back.” Jessica says boldly. Kim just grins and snickers. She pats her on the back.

“That’s what I love about you, sis! Always willing to fight the good fight! REVENGERS ASSEMBLE!” Kim shakes her head. “But I’d feel lousy, I’d feel like shit, I’d feel lower than Damian’s intelligence quotient if I brought you into my fight, to help me retain my title, and thus distract you from your own championship aspirations.” Kim holds up Wasley the penguin. “Don’t you worry! Me and Wasley got this!”

Lasiewicz nods her head. “Fair enough. But I will be watching tonight. If things go awry, I might ignore your request and help anyway.” Jessica turns and walks off. Kim sticks her tongue out at her as she walks away. Kim then turns to look at Wasley again.

“Little sisters. What will you do with them, am I right?” Kim skips away happily.



The camera shifts to the employee parking lot of the Zion Wrestling Arena where we find Morgan Payne of The Kingdom sitting in the bed of her truck. She’s dressed in her ring gear, though currently has it masked beneath a black sweat suit with one arm resting over her knee as she stares ahead at nothing in particular. An almost cold expression on her features. There’s a lot going on in her head, evident from the gaze in her eyes. She doesn’t even budge as we hear the sound of shuffling up in the truck bed and, seconds later, her cousin Gabby comes crawling into position to settle down right beside her in a pair of denim shorts, fishnet leggings, pink high top Chucks and a matching black and pink flannel that almost swallows the 4’9” woman. Gabby sits back against the front of the truck bed, folding her legs in infront of her and wraps her arms around her knees, staring at her cousin from the side. After a brief moment of silence, she gives the wrestler a nudge with her elbow.

Gabby Cassiano: Sup?

In her first sign of movement, Morgan reaches up with the arm over her knee and reaches inside her hood, pulling an airpod out of her ear. She half turns her head towards the younger woman.

Morgan Payne: Whatchu doin’ here, Gabs? How you even get back here?

Gabby motions to herself with her arms as if gesturing her size, indicating she probably did some sneaking around and hiding behind stuff. Morgan gives her a scornful look that prompts Gabby to roll her eyes. She reaches down and raises a laminated pass hanging from a lanyard around her neck.

Gabby Cassiano: You got me this ya goob. Remember?

Gabby looks down at the pass herself now.

Gabby Cassiano: Still got a couple weeks on it. Needs to be renewed soon.

She lets the pass fall and folds her arm back around her legs with the other. Morgan looks back ahead, almost dismissively.

Morgan Payne: Prolly better not.

Gabby’s face falls some and she sits up more, adjusting her legs to where she’s sitting criss-cross style and folds her hands in her lap as she looks at her cousin.

Gabby Cassiano: Hey. What’s wrong? I do something?

Morgan immediately makes a face and looks at her as if to say “don’t be silly.”

Gabby Cassiano: Well what then? What’s gotten into you lately? You’re not nervous about tonight. Are you?

Morgan gives a small shake of her head.

Morgan Payne: Nah. I been over dat already.

Gabby Cassiano: Well what then?

A beat.

Gabby Cassiano: Jinx?

Morgan closes her fist around the airpod in her hand and her jaw tenses, giving Gabby her answer. The younger of the two women sitting in the truck bed nods.

Gabby Cassiano: I get it. She won’t leave you alone and you’re worried she’s gonna do something to someone you care about to get to you–

Morgan Payne: It ain’t just that, Gabby.

Morgan speaks up firmer, practically cutting Gabby off as she too sits forward, leaning her hands on her knees and looks long and hard at her cousin. Gabby falls silent, listening as her face grows more concerned about her cousin’s behavior.

Morgan Payne: Tha whole of it is? I dunno who tha hell I can trust arahnd here anymore…

Morgan moves forward, past the camera and can be heard climbing down from the truck. Gabby watches her go, visibly more confused. Shocked even.

Gabby Cassiano: Wh-huh?! What does that even mean?! Morg? Hey! Morgan!

She raises up onto her knees and leans over the side of the truck bed with her hands on the edge as Morgan comes walking past again, headed back inside the arena. Gabby plops back down on her butt and shakes her head in confusion, processing her cousin’s words as the shot fades.

[Kai Morgan]

Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is for the Hardcore Championship and is scheduled for one fall…

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Darrion Hughes: Introducing first, the challenger…

The lights in the arena go out as the piecing alarms of the song blare. The spotlights at the top of the ramp glow red as the music slowly begins to kick in. The lights illuminate the silhouette of a woman.

"Colossus..."

Suddenly a much larger figure steps into the light, becoming illuminated from behind as well.

"ARISE"

The heavy music kicks in as the arena lights come up again, The pair of Katie and Damian Simmons are revealed. Katie wears a devious smirk as she stares into the camera while her husband, towering over her, glares directly at the ring.

Darrion Hughes: Hailing from Sin City and accompanied by Katie Simmons…[/ i]

"In the image of man...
We breed our demons
On the wide wings of science...
Our abomination of a child flies"

The couple begin walking toward the ring. Damian remains focused on the ring while his wife hangs by the sides of the ramp, taunting the fans as she passes by. Fans shout things at the pair but neither seem affected by it. Damian remains transfixed on his goal and Katie just giggles and waves.

Finally they make it to ringside. Katie walks around the side while Damian climbs up onto the ring apron and easily steps over the top rope. Katie lays on her side, taunting the fans some more while giving them a show. After a few seconds she crawls in backward on her hands and knees, meeting up with her husband in the middle of the ring where he is standing, towering over her.

"Ask me for your name, my friend
Tell me what I feel like to you
Is it coming to an end?
I don't understand it

COLOSSUS
COLOSSUS ARISE"

Darrion Hughes: He is…DAMIAN SIMMONS!!!

Katie winks into the camera before hopping to her feet. She circles around Damian and removes his vest for him while he continues to stare deep into the viewer. Finally, Damian takes to his corner and focuses on the upcoming match as his wife exits the ring. Simmons is seething in his corner, itching to start the fight.

Darrion Hughes: And his opponent…

The lights go out, except for a single spotlight at the top of the stage. The opening chords to “Patient Number 9” by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play. A haunting voice is heard…

"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"

Darrion Hughes: Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts and representing the Queens of Chaos…

The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on and Kimberly Williams is standing at the top of the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it.

Darrion Hughes: She is the current Hardcore Champion…KIMBERLY WILLIAMS!!!

She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Kimberly then poses in the center of the ring to another loud reaction from the fans. The music slowly dies down and Kimberly goes to a corner to await the start of the match.



The bell rings, signaling the start of a brutal battle for the Hardcore Championship. Damian Simmons, a towering and menacing figure, stalks across the ring, his eyes locked on Kimberly Williams. Kimberly, the reigning champion, is smaller in stature but known for her tenacity and technical prowess. Damian charges at her with a rugby tackle, but Kimberly, ever the tactician, rolls out of the way, causing Damian to crash shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. Kimberly seizes the opportunity, delivering a quick Dragon Screw Leg Whip to Damian’s leg, trying to take the giant off his feet early. He got back up and charged across the ring like a freight train. Kimberly sidestepped at the last second, using Damian’s momentum against him, sending him crashing into the turnbuckle with a well-placed dropkick, the force of hitting the turnbuckle sending him down.

Amber Westgate: Well placed dropkick from the champ, but we all know that Damian won’t stay down easily.

Adam LaRue: That man is insane…we’ve all seen his matches and what he’s capable of doing.

With Damian momentarily grounded, Kimberly locks in a Figure Four Leglock, wrenching on Damian’s leg with all her might. Damian roars in pain but manages to use his strength to roll over, reversing the pressure. Kimberly quickly releases the hold, knowing that trying to outmuscle Damian isn’t a winning strategy. She transitions into an Arm Bar, trying to wear down Damian’s powerful arms, but the sheer force of Damian lifting her off the mat forces her to break the hold. Kimberly rolls away, knowing she needs to stay one step ahead. Kimberly aimed a lightning-fast Morrigan’s Wrath at his jaw. Damian caught her leg mid-air, yanking her into a brutal capture suplex that sent her flying across the ring.

Crowd: You suck! You suck! You suck!

Frustrated, Damian rushes Kimberly, grabbing her by the throat and lifting her for a Chokeslam. Kimberly counters in mid-air with a deft Scissors Kick, catching Damian on the side of his head and sending him staggering. Kimberly went with a series of sharp kicks to his legs, chopping the big man down to one knee. She quickly locked in a Dragon Screw Leg Whip, twisting Damian’s knee with vicious precision. She follows up with an Asai DDT, driving Damian’s skull into the canvas.

ONE…!

T-

Kimberly knows she can’t rely on her usual technical approach and slides out of the ring, grabbing a kendo stick from under the apron. She re-enters the ring and immediately swings at Damian’s midsection, the stick cracking loudly against his ribs. Damian grimaces but absorbs the blow, grabbing the kendo stick and snapping it over his knee. Kimberly backs away, realizing that her weapon had little effect on the powerhouse. Damian, now fully enraged, charges with a Big Boot, but Kimberly ducks and counters with a Morrigan’s Wrath, dropping Damian to one knee.

Amber Westgate: Smart play from Kimberly…that superkick of hers can be a major game changer in most matches.

Adam LaRue: In most matches, she’s not facing someone like Damian, though. It may have taken him to a knee, but most others would have hit the mat.

With Damian down, Kimberly wastes no time. She hits the ropes and nails Damian with a Blockbuster, taking him down completely. Instead of going for the pin, Kimberly grabs a steel chair and a kendo stick from outside the ring, sliding both into the ring. She grabbed the kendo stick, her eyes blazing with determination. She swung it with precision, cracking it across Damian’s back with a sickening thud. Damian grunted in pain but remained on his feet. Kimberly aimed another strike, but Damian caught the stick, ripping it from her hands and snapping it over his knee. With Kimberly surprised at the action, Damian follows up with a brutal Spinebuster onto the steel chair, the impact echoing through the arena.

Crowd: This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome!

Damian, now in control, drags Kimberly to the center of the ring and lifts her for a Deadlift Suplex, holding her in the air for what seems like an eternity before slamming her down with authority. He then picks up the steel chair and drives it into Kimberly’s midsection repeatedly, showing no mercy. The crowd immediately began booing loudly at Simmons’ actions, clearly showing that Williams was their favorite for this match. With Kimberly writhing in pain, Damian sets the chair up in the middle of the ring, planning something sinister. He lifts Kimberly again, this time for a Fallaway Slam, but she counters in mid-air, twisting into Homage to the Queen!

Amber Westgate: Homage to the Queen locked in! Kim could retain the championship with this!

Adam LaRue: Don’t hold your breath on that one. Damian is going to let gold slip passed him just because of a submission.

Kimberly cranks back on the submission, trying to force Damian to tap out. Damian thrashes wildly, but the hold is locked in tight. He struggles to his feet, with Kimberly still latched on, and in a show of pure power, he manages to flip Kimberly over, breaking the hold. As Kimberly tries to recover, Damian delivers a devastating Pumphandle Neckbreaker, planting her face-first into the mat. Instead of pinning her right away, he grabbed her and pulled her towards the ropes before pulling her to her feet only to deliver a gut-wrenching German suplex from the second rope. The impact was brutal, but Kimberly managed to roll through, landing awkwardly but avoiding serious damage. Damian, frustrated, pulled her back up and attempted Hellfire onto his knee. He covers and the referee slides to the mat to make the count.

ONE…!

TWO…!

T-

Determined to put Kimberly away, Damian rolls out of the ring and pulls a table from underneath, setting it up near the ring apron. He drags Kimberly out of the ring, looking to inflict more damage. Damian goes for a Military Press Toss, aiming to throw Kimberly through the table, but she slips out of his grasp mid-throw, landing on her feet behind him. She quickly grabs a nearby tire iron, bashing it across Damian’s back. Damian stumbles forward, but before Kimberly can capitalize, Damian turns and levels her with a brutal Clothesline. He grabbed a steel chair from ringside and swung it with murderous intent. Kimberly ducked just in time, and the chair crashed into the steel steps, reverberating through the arena.

Crowd: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

Damian, now furious, managed to catch Kimberly with a big boot before grabbing her and rolling her back into the ring, grabbing a chain from under the ring after he did. He wraps it around his fist and begins pummeling Kimberly, each strike drawing groans from the crowd. Kimberly, bloodied but defiant, refuses to stay down. She manages to dodge the next swing, nailing him with Morrigan’s Wrath once more. Simmons went down to a knee, the chain falling out of his hand as he did. Williams looked down at the chain, now laying on the mat, and quickly came up with a plan. She leaned down and quickly wrapped the chain around her foot before straightening up. WIth a somewhat weak, yet still sick grin, she hit Damian with yet another Morrigan’s Wrath, drawing blood from him and laying him out before going for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

TH-

Simmons kicking out frustrated Williams, but she didn’t let it keep her distracted for long. Kimberly scales the turnbuckle, looking for something bigger in order to try and take the big man down. As Damian slowly got to his feet, she launched herself at him, hitting a Lightning Spiral that sent him crashing to the mat. The crowd is on their feet as Kimberly signals for Scorned. She locks it in, sitting deep on Damian’s lower back. Damian roars in agony, his massive frame trembling under the pressure. He claws his way to the ropes, but there are no rope breaks in a hardcore match. With incredible strength, Damian uses his arms to pull himself and Kimberly across the ring, finally reaching the outside and pulling both of them out of the ring to break the hold.

Amber Westgate: Smart thinking from Simmons with pulling the two of them out of the ring to get the hold broken.

Adam LaRue: Smart thinking? Try perfect example of the insane strength that man has.

On the outside, Damian regains control by smashing Kimberly’s head into the ring post, dazing her. He grabs a nearby trash can and slams it over Kimberly’s head, denting the metal. With Kimberly on wobbly legs, Damian lifts her onto his shoulders, setting up for the Angels Fall. He executes the Muscle Buster with precision, driving Kimberly’s spine onto the unforgiving floor. Damian picked Kimberly up and rolled her back into the ring before dragging her towards the corner, lifting her onto the second rope, signaling for his devastating Napalm finisher. Kimberly, barely conscious, tried to fight back with weak punches, but Damian was relentless. He hooked her for the Fallaway Slam, but just as he lifted her, Kimberly wriggled free, landing behind him. She quickly executed a picture-perfect Capture Suplex, slamming Damian into the turnbuckle with incredible force.

Crowd: KIM! KIM! KIM! KIM!

Damian managed to shove himself out of the corner before she could capitalize and was now desperate to finish the match, goes for the Sky Burial. He hoists Kimberly up, slamming her down with extreme force, but instead of covering, he goes for a second, and then a third, trying to ensure she won’t get up. Damian finally goes to the top rope, ready to deliver the final blow. Kimberly, with her last bit of strength, stumbles to her feet and climbs the ropes, looking for a high-risk maneuver. But Damian catches her mid-climb, locking her into position for the Napalm. He delivers the Fallaway Slam from the second rope, sending Kimberly crashing onto a steel chair below. The impact is sickening, and the crowd falls silent as Damian crawls over to make the cover.

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE…!



Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner…AND NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION…DAMIAN SIMMONS!!!

Damian got to his feet, battered but standing victorious, his face a mix of pain and triumph as he raised the title above his head. Kimberly lay motionless on the mat, the valiant champion having given everything she had but falling just short. Kimberly lies motionless in the ring, the toll of the brutal match evident on her body. The crowd, though disappointed by the outcome, gives her a standing ovation for her valiant effort. Damian, showing no remorse, exits the ring with his newly won championship, leaving Kimberly to be attended to by medical personnel.

WINNER: DAMIAN SIMMONS (#ANDNEW)
RESULT: PINFALL (NAPALM)

Backstage at the Zion Wrestling Stadium. Melissa Tasman fscing away from the camera

Melissa Tasman: Its time again. Its time again.

Melissa turns. Melissa's head is hidden by her hoodie.

Melissa Tasman: The new story gets written tonight. The new book gets to the core. The adventure continues.

Melissa shuffles.

Melissa Tasman: My story once again. Rising above the numbers. Beating the odds that are stacked against me. Everything conspired to end the tale.

But I'm still standing here. Still strong as ever and this time I'm mad as hell.

Morgan. Nami. Taryn. Jinx. We're going out there, I'm coming out there, and we're all gonna do something we've never seen before. We're gonna put on this show, but the only chapter that comes next is mine.

Failure isnt an option. It was never a possibility.

Fade.

We cut backstage to the large and imposing frame of the Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara “Killer” Carbajal with her championship proudly displayed over her broad shoulder as she smiles wickedly into the camera.

Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Tonight I crush the dreams of two more delusional competitors who believe they have what it takes to carry this company as the Global Heavyweight Champion. However, before I get to them… I need to address a certain someone…

That wicked smile now fades and turns into a scowl.

Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Morgan fucking Payne. Who in the Hell do you think you are?! Once again you’re running your mouth about how I won this championship, acting like you wouldn’t have done the same thing had the roles been reversed! The only difference there would have been the simple fact that because everyone fucking loves you, had it been you cashing in on me and winning? Everyone would have been all like, oh good for you! You took the title from the big mean bully! Well done! You deserve it! But because it was me who did it?! All of a sudden it’s cheap. It’s taking advantage of a situation. You KNEW I had the fucking Chance Briefcase, Hell you stopped me from making history by being the first person in Zion history to hold BOTH the Global Heavyweight and World Heavyweight Championships simultaneously when I attempted to cash in on Jordan Majors while I was Global Heavyweight Champion before! So you knew there was always a chance that I was lurking and waiting to strike, you’re just making excuses!

The behemoth shakes her head.

Kara "Killer" Carbajal: And then you also have the audacity to call out my brother-in-arms for wanting to be removed from the rankings for this very championship?! Calling him a quitter for doing so?! Who made you the fucking law on what people should and shouldn’t do in this industry?! You ever think that there may be a particular reason behind him doing what he did?! That perhaps he has his sights set on something else?! That’s not a quitter! He doesn’t have to prove a fucking thing to anyone, especially you, the very person he BEAT at Destiny! You know something, Morgan?! I really fucking hope you win tonight’s Victory Series match… because there’s another thing you won’t shut about either. I hope you win tonight so I can FINALLY do what you keep claiming I can’t! And that’s beat you clean and I can finally shut you the fuck up for good!

KC strokes her free hand through her black hair as she clenches her jaw.

Kara "Killer" Carbajal: And now I’m fired up! Which means that tonight?! Liberty Hightower?! Akane Yamashita?! You can try with everything you have! You can push me to my limits all you want! You can get the crowd behind you! You can believe with all of your might! And it will all be for nothing! Because you’re going to have to kill me to take this championship from me! I will put both of you down and the Mamacita of Mayhem’s reign will continue! It will continue until every single one of you fucks who keep doubting my reign shut the fuck up and realize that I am that damn good! And that I am simply better than you!

Carbajal then shoves her hand into the camera forcing us to cut elsewhere.
