Starting off the night, we catch Reina Hamada backstage, to a huge pop from the crowd. She has famously wrestled in this very country multiple times in her career; this causes her radiant grin to shine, as it usually does. Despite her positive demeanour being untouched for the most part, she has bandages around her neck and the back of her head. Additionally, one can tell she’s got kinesio tape underneath her Charlie St. Haven merch shirt. Subtitles are located below on the video for others to understand.
REINA HAMADA: (in Spanish) Heyyy, everyone! You have no idea how good it feels to be back in P.R, one of my wrestling homes! I missed every bit of it, and I promise I’ll do my best to come here more often! But…
Her mood grows humorless.
REINA HAMADA: I’m not cleared to wrestle tonight. And it’s because of a coward’s actions. You’d think I’d get used to getting stabbed in the back over and over again. In SHINE, in SCRAMBLE, and now… here. And yet, I can’t. I won’t. It’s unacceptable, and it won’t just be unpunished. You see, Rebecca and I have a long history. I won’t go into details, but we were very close. We were on lengthy winning streaks, we thought the world could be ours as long as we stayed together! … And guess what happened.
REINA HAMADA: She stabbed me in the back and left me behind, just like she did last Monday.
The crowd rightfully starts booing, while Hamada nods.
REINA HAMADA: I don’t care about “exposing” others just because, I merely think that everyone deserves to know that she’s always been like this. As much as it still pains me to say it, even when I don’t…
She pauses briefly to get herself together
REINA HAMADA: … Care anymore for her, she’s a lost cause. And as such, I won’t let her run around with the Internet Championship to do nothing. I won’t rest until I get my revenge, and until that fine treasure of hers is in the right hands. By any means possible, regardless of what I have to do. Hell, I think I’m just wasting my time still feeling any type of sympathy towards you, Rebecca. You never changed, you only got worse, even when you know you’re wrong. I won’t feel anything when I get my hands on you, while you’re incapable to do shit about it.
REINA HAMADA: Do with that what you will, you fucking psychopath.
With those harsh final words laced in disgust, she walks off-frame.
OPENING CONTEST: SAYGE GONZALEZ VS RAVYN NIGHTSHADE
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…representing Team Big, Tall, & Cute As Fuck…from Coney Island, New York…weighing in at 166 lbs…Sayge! Gonzalez!
And her opponent…representing Code Black…from Southampton, England…weighing in at 135 lbs…Ravyn! Nightshade!
Sayge Gonzalez and Ravyn Nightshade are in their respective corners with their partners at ringside to give their best support. Hungry for Destruction are watching keenly, studying their potential future opponents, and the women inside the ring leave their corners to circle each other. In the center of the ring, they lock up and Sayge immediately pushes her against an unoccupied corner.
Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
She holds Ravyn against the turnbuckles and nails her in the exposed abdomen with a shot into the ribs. Ravyn screams from the shot until getting blasted with an European Uppercut! Sayge takes the right arm and launches her into the opposing corner where Nightshade’s black slams against the turnbuckles and gets squashed by a Corner Splash!
Kyle Cassidy: Sayge Gonzalez kicking off the match using her strength and power to get the advantage over Ravyn Nightshade! She’s been waiting to get her hands on Ravyn for a long time and not wasting any time!
Ravyn leans into Sayge after the Corner Splash nearly flattened her and to make it worse, Sayge drags her from the corner to the center of the ring on her feet before taking her over with a Butterfly Suplex! Ravyn’s back lands on the canvas from the harsh impact and her sister, Olivia, is banging on the edge of the apron trying to motivate her sister to get back in the mix!
Winter Mae: Butterfly Suplex! The sheer power from Gonzalez almost breaking her in half!
Ravyn rolls under the bottom rope to begin on her feet at ringside to separate herself from her opponent. Sayge follows on the outside with the referee starting the count, she’s behind Nightshade and holds her by the back of her head until Ravyn lands a Back Elbow to get the hold off of her. She quickly drives her body into Sayge’s ribs to push her back against the apron edge. The official leans in between the ropes demanding for both women to get back in the ring.
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sayge takes a moment to walk away from the impact of her back against the apron and Ravyn climbs onto the apron. She runs across the apron to leap off the apron for a Flipping Senton into Gonzalez knocking both women down to the ringside mat!
Kyle Cassidy: Ravyn Nightshade turning the tide of the match back in her favor! Ravyn’s high-flying and speed could be the factor she needs against Sayge tonight!
Ravyn rolls Sayge into the ring and climbs up on the apron. She stands on the apron holding the top rope with both hands then leaps onto the top rope to jump in the air for the Springboard Roundhouse Kick into her opponent’s head! Sayge falls down to the canvas and Ravyn jumps on top of her for the pin attempt!
Winter Mae: Springboard Roundhouse Kick! Ravyn Nightshade! That kick almost took her out and here is the pin attempt!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Sayge kicks out from the pin attempt and Kelly applauds her for her resiliency. Olivia continues to support Ravyn in her offense against her opponent and Ravyn reaches down to drag Sayge back to her feet. Sayge tries to fire an European Uppercut but Ravyn ducks under the arm to hold both her arms from behind and snap her down with a Straight-Jacket Neckbreaker!
Kyle Cassidy: Straight-Jacket Neckbreaker! Sayge needs to get the match back in her favor or else it won’t be looking good for her odds at Hungry for Destruction! Here’s another pin attempt!
ONE...!
TWO...!
She stands on her knees after watching Sayge kick out again. With the frustration beginning to brew, she sits up Sayge and places a knee into her spine to apply the Rear Chinlock. Kelly moves around at ringside to get a closer view, barking at her partner to fight back and Ravyn pulls back on the chin adding pressure on the submission hold.
Winter Mae: Ravyn Nightshade has Sayge Gonzalez stuck in the center of the ring with the Rear Chinlock! She’s doing everything in her arsenal to keep her down but Orlando is on Sayge’s side!
Sayge kicks her leg on the canvas repeatedly to gain support. After a few moments, she shakes her fists, and rises onto her feet despite Ravyn having the hold on her. Ravyn releases the hold and lands a Clubbing Blow on her spine to keep her hunched forward then runs to the ropes and on the rebound, Sayge turns her inside out with a Yakuza Kick into the face!
Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ravyn stands on her feet and turns around into a Big Boot that plants her down to the mat again! When she stands on her feet, a powerful Running Shoulder Tackle nearly makes her fly out of the ring but she collides into the corner turnbuckles from the pounce itself!
Kyle Cassidy: Holy crap! Sayge Gonzalez is on fire and Orlando is behind her! She know what she has to do and she has Ravyn in her sights!
Inside she has, Ravyn stands up in an unoccupied corner and turns around into Sayge who holds onto her legs and trips her down on the mat. She looks to the audience and holds her ankles in the underhooks before lifting her off the mat to spin her around in the Giant Swing! The audience takes part in chanting and Kelly screams in unison with the fans at ringside!
Crowd:
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ELEVEN!...
Winter Mae: The Giant Swing! Sayge can do this for ages and Ravyn should get a barf bag after this!
Crowd:
…TWELVE! THIRTEEN! FOURTEEN! FIFTEEN! SIXTEEN! SEVENTEEN! EIGHTEEN! NINETEEN! TWENTY!!!
She drops Ravyn on the mat and falls into the ropes to regain her balance. The Orlando audience applauds her for the amazing feature of strength; Ravyn tried to stand up using the ropes with her back turned to her and got lifted off the mat for the potential Vertebreaker. However, Ravyn flipped backwards onto her feet and landed a Superkick to the back of her head!
Kyle Cassidy: SUPERKICK!
Sayge falls into the ropes near a corner and Ravyn wastes no time to run to the corner, leap onto the top rope, leap onto the other top rope to springboard into Ravyn for the Hurricanrana planting her down to the mat! She quickly crawls across the canvas and lies on top of her for the pin attempt!
Winter Mae: Skywalker Hurricanrana! Is Ravyn going to pull it off?!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THR-
No! Sayge kicks out from the pin again and Ravyn stands up arguing with the referee. She loses her cool and thinks the official is to blame but she turns around to reach down for her head and yank her back up to her feet. Ravyn places her opponent’s head in between her thighs but Sayge spins out from behind to lift her off the mat upside down on her back before sitting down to spike her neck on the mat!
Crowd:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Kyle Cassidy: CTRL-ALT-DELETE! SHE GOT IT! SAYGE GONZALEZ WITH THE PIN ATTEMPT!
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: Here is your winner by pin fall, Sayge Gonzalez!
Sayge gets the victory and stands up on her knees after securing the win. Her partner, Kelly Haste, gets into the ring to help her to her feet and the referee alongside Haste raises her arms in the air. Olivia helps to pull Ravyn out of the ring to accompany her at ringside in recovery while giving their opponents the death stare as they celebrate.
Winter Mae: Sayge Gonzalez defeats Ravyn Nightshade after a long hard battle! I’m pretty sure she feels justified to get the momentum on her side and prove a point that they are worthy of a tag team title shot!
Serenity Holmes: Congratulations…
The attention in the arena all turned to the Global Tag Team Champions standing in the entrance to the backstage area for the audience members. Orlando boos relentlessly as the tag teams in the ring and ringside look at Livvie Nelson and Serenity Holmes with a microphone flaunting their championship belts. Livvie keeps her arms folded over her chest with the stoic expression but Serenity eggs the crowd on.
Serenity Holmes: As easy as it would be to walk down to the ring and beat the crap out of all four of you, we wanted to let you enjoy the spotlight. Don’t get me wrong, we’re still upset from what happened last week but all in due time when we decide to get involved. After all, being the Global Tag Team Champions means we dictate how this division is run and trust me when I say, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Code Black or Team Big, Tall and Cute AF! There’s only one tag team that matters in all of Zion Wrestling and that is Hungry for Destruction!
“Rise” by Divyded interrupts the former music playing from the venue’s interior surround systems. Serenity raises her championship belt and drops the microphone letting the audience boo her, Livvie, on the other hand, keeps her distance away from the fans but stands behind Serenity to show her support. Hungry for Destruction continues to raise the belts and the teams below eye them with intentions to take it off of them.
Crowd: ONE FALL!!

RESULT: PINFALL (CTRL + ALT + DELETE)
“Through The Never” by Metallica plays through the PA system and the fans boo heavily as The Void, Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara “Killer” Carbajal, Miguel Ortiz, Zachary Porter and Eduardo Gutiérrez all saunter out onto the stage. Carbajal is dressed in a pair of black leather high heeled boots, a pair of skin tight black leather pants, a black “Mauler of Mayhem” T-shirt and a sleeveless black leather jacket with The Void logo on it while Ortiz is dressed in a pair of white sneakers, a pair of coal gray colored baggy jeans, a black “Mamacita of Mayhem” T-shirt and a sleeveless black leather jacket with The Void logo on it. Meanwhile, Porter is dressed in a pair of black and purple sneakers, a pair of black jeans, a white “E-C-E the G.W.A” T-shirt and a long sleeved black leather jacket with The Void logo on it and Gutiérrez is dressed in a pair of white sneakers, a pair of black cargo pants, a black “The Gatekeeper” T-shirt and a sleeveless black leather jacket with The Void logo on it.
Winter Mae: Well… here comes The Void.
Kyle Cassidy: You mean, here comes THE top team in Zion with THE top champion in Zion, Winter!
While on the stage, Gutiérrez squats down in front of Carbajal and she raises her championship high above her head as Ortiz and Porter raise their arms up before the four of them then begin to make their way down the ramp, mouthing off at the fans on their way.
Winter Mae: These fans showing The Void exactly what they think of them here tonight, Kyle.
Kyle Cassidy: Jealousy is a cruel mistress.
Once they reach the bottom of the ramp, Ortiz and Porter are quick to hop up onto the apron and climb through the ropes while Carbajal makes her way up the steel steps. Gutiérrez hops up onto the apron now and sits on the middle rope while pushing up the top rope to allow his Mamacita to enter the ring and he follows in after her. The young Spaniard then makes his way over to the other side of the ring and calls for four microphones and he hands one to all three of his compatriots before keeping the fourth one for himself as “Through The Never” fades out.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: When are you people gonna understand?! Huh?! When are you perras gonna realize that WE run this bitch?!?!
Carbajal quickly places her hand on E-C-E’s shoulder and gives it a reassuring squeeze causing him to nod and take a couple of steps back as Ortiz and Porter both pat him on the back and give him a few words while he calms down.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: You’ll have to forgive Eddy there. See… he gets a bit worked up when he feels like his family is being disrespected. Now… before I give the floor to Miguel and Zach… there’s a few things I want to talk about myself first.
Carbajal slightly adjusts the championship over her shoulder and paces the ring a little.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So it would appear that Lil’ Miss Crybaby has gotten what she wants because tonight she goes one on one with the winner of the Victory Series and if she wins… she will be added to our Global Heavyweight Championship match at Invasion in Puerto Rico.
She smirks as she shakes her head.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Funny thing is… if Nami Megumi just shut her mouth and stopped with all of the whining, bitching, moaning and complaining about how she’s so hard done by… I’d have actually had a shred of respect for her for what she did to Melissa Tasman the other week.
Carbajal looks down at the championship over her shoulder for a moment before looking back up into the hard camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: And while her Victory Series win was very impressive and I take nothing away from what she achieved… Melissa Tasman has no idea what is awaiting her in Puerto Rico at Invasion!
The Global Heavyweight Champion glares into the camera as she raises her title up.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Regardless of tonight’s result… the result at Invasion in Puerto Rico will remain the same… and that’s ME… as your Global Heavyweight Champion!
The crowd doesn’t love the prospect of KC leaving Invasion: Puerto Rico the Global Heavyweight Champion, but she doesn’t give a damn. She looks over to Ortiz and Porter as the former World Champion asks for the floor and Carbajal obliges as he brings his own microphone to his mouth.
Zachary Porter: There is one thing I feel I need to address. More than a couple weeks ago, prior to Victory Series in fact, Morgan Payne took my decision to remove myself from the Global Championship rankings personally. Something along the lines of saying did a quitter beat her at Destiny III. Here’s the thing Morgan, not everything is about you! You shouldn’t take everything so goddamn personally. I would be more focused on that psychopath who's been driving you up a wall. Priorities, ya know?
Zachary shrugs. Eliciting a sigh he continues.
Zachary Porter: I have enough respect for you to explain why I made the decision to back out of the Global Heavyweight Division. This wasn’t a case of me giving up. On the contrary, this was about me choosing my own path, something I have done my entire life.
The self-proclaimed Gatekeeper paces a little.
Zachary Porter: I didn’t ask to be a part of the Global Heavyweight Division. Flattered management thought highly of me, as long as Kara wears the Global Heavyweight Championship, I support her one thousand and ten percent as the straw that stirs the drink around here.
He nods to KC.
Zachary Porter: Know what else I never asked for? Prior to The Void, I didn’t ask to be the hero of the fans. All I wanted to do was kick the ass of a man who pissed me off to high heaven.
The fans boo at this.
Zachary Porter: I also didn’t ask to be the face of this company. That happened naturally because I am that damn good.
Even louder boos now.
Zachary Porter: My life doesn’t revolve around the whims and wants of other people. So… I decided to do something about it. I made the courageous decision to once again, follow my desires. No Morgan, you didn’t lose to a quitter at Destiny III. Unlike some people in this industry, I am my own man. A real man. A man who walks to the beat of his own drum. Honestly, I see nothing wrong with the Endurance Division. Wish Sean Parker was around, I do owe him one. What will be will be; I suppose. Here is the mission. I am going to become Endurance Champion. Miguel is going to become a singles champion, again. You will see The Void dripping in gold by the end of 2024, that is a promise!
Miguel nodded along with Zach, a smirk on the Mauler’s face as he brought his own microphone up.
Miguel Ortiz: Akane, Akane, Akane… did you really think that I was going to ignore you calling the boys and I goons? Especially when KC is way more than capable of handling herself and has done so over and over and over again?
Miguel glanced over at his sister with a smirk and nod before bringing the microphone back up to speak.
Miguel Ortiz: See… at least I dealt with you before your match a couple of weeks ago. You? Oh no, you just couldn’t deal with the fact that you were taken out of a match after the disrespect you showed to the top group in Zion.
Ortiz motioned between himself, Zach, KC, and Ed. He looked between the members before turning back to look at the camera.
Miguel Ortiz: Nah, you had to get involved with my match against Melissa last week. You don’t realize the huge mistake you’ve made, do you? KC was gracious enough not to fully destroy your career. Me? I’m not that gracious. You keep coming after me, and I guarantee that your career will never be the same when I’m through with you.
“Through The Never” then blasts out of the PA system as The Void all drop their microphones before making their exit from the ring.
Winter Mae: Strong words from The Void there.
Kyle Cassidy: They feel continuously disrespected by their peers, Winter. So the more they feel disrespected, the more they’re going to teach those people lessons.
The Void then make their way up the ramp while being showered with boos as we cut elsewhere.
Winter Mae: Well… here comes The Void.
Kyle Cassidy: You mean, here comes THE top team in Zion with THE top champion in Zion, Winter!
While on the stage, Gutiérrez squats down in front of Carbajal and she raises her championship high above her head as Ortiz and Porter raise their arms up before the four of them then begin to make their way down the ramp, mouthing off at the fans on their way.
Winter Mae: These fans showing The Void exactly what they think of them here tonight, Kyle.

I am going to become Endurance Champion. Miguel is going to become a singles champion, again. You will see The Void dripping in gold by the end of 2024, that is a promise!
Miguel nodded along with Zach, a smirk on the Mauler’s face as he brought his own microphone up.
Miguel Ortiz: Akane, Akane, Akane… did you really think that I was going to ignore you calling the boys and I goons? Especially when KC is way more than capable of handling herself and has done so over and over and over again?
Miguel glanced over at his sister with a smirk and nod before bringing the microphone back up to speak.
Miguel Ortiz: See… at least I dealt with you before your match a couple of weeks ago. You? Oh no, you just couldn’t deal with the fact that you were taken out of a match after the disrespect you showed to the top group in Zion.
Ortiz motioned between himself, Zach, KC, and Ed. He looked between the members before turning back to look at the camera.
Miguel Ortiz: Nah, you had to get involved with my match against Melissa last week. You don’t realize the huge mistake you’ve made, do you? KC was gracious enough not to fully destroy your career. Me? I’m not that gracious. You keep coming after me, and I guarantee that your career will never be the same when I’m through with you.
“Through The Never” then blasts out of the PA system as The Void all drop their microphones before making their exit from the ring.
Winter Mae: Strong words from The Void there.
Kyle Cassidy: They feel continuously disrespected by their peers, Winter. So the more they feel disrespected, the more they’re going to teach those people lessons.
The Void then make their way up the ramp while being showered with boos as we cut elsewhere.
The fire burned in the woods, smoke rising into the night. The cameraman cautiously approached, his eyes catching sight of a woman moving through the gathered crowd, offering words of inspiration. Her black war paint stood out starkly, and the antlers on her head glimmered in the firelight. She turned, raising her hands toward the flames.
Lilith Parker: You think that because you beat me, I’ve forgotten? You’ve crushed my head twice now, Protocol K after Protocol K. But, Kaya, all it’s done is make me stronger. It’s made me understand our family’s values even more. Don’t worry, Morgan, I haven’t overlooked you tonight.
Lilith gestured for the men and women around the bonfire to begin chanting. A soft smile played on her lips as she moved among them, her gaze piercing.
Lilith Parker: I’m looking right at you, Morgan Payne. I won’t allow that train wreck to cloud my judgment. I’ve waited too long, clawed my way back for too long. The Viking Slayer cometh, and you, Morgan, are the prey she seeks.
As her followers quieted, Lilith closed her eyes, her smile deepening. She took some powder from her satchel and tossed it into the fire, turning the flames a brilliant green as she opened her eyes.
Lilith Parker: Ek veit, Kaya, þú skalt skilja þetta. Þú vilt skora á mik til einvígis, það er í lagi. En þú skalt eigi velja reglurnar, það geri ek. Þessi orrosta skal vera í járnbúri. Svo að þínir litlu vinir eigi munu og geta skipt sér af. Engin miskunn.
"I know, Kaya, you understand this. You want to challenge me to a fight? That’s fine. But you don’t pick the rules—I do. This match will be inside a steel cage, where your little friends cannot and will not interfere. No mercy."
Lilith laughed as the fire began to die down, and the chant of "Ek Vil Blood" echoed in the night. The cameraman slowly backed away, leaving the area.
MATCH #2: MORGAN PAYNE VS LILITH PARKER
The bell rings and we’re set to go with this match between Morgan Payne and Lilith Parker. Fans are already on the edges of their seats, ready to see prominent members of The Kingdom and The Queens of Chaos, respectively, face off one on one. The two women circle around the center of the ring before stepping in for a collar & elbow tie up. They jockey for position and Morgan uses her strength advantage against Lilith, edging her back towards the ropes but Lilith suddenly breaks out of the collar & elbow and slaps on an arm wringer, wrenching hard on Morgan’s arm. She controls Morgan’s movement around the mat for a bit, occasionally driving a forearm down into her shoulder and forcing her onto her knee. Morgan takes advantage of the new positioning and drops back, kicking a leg out to sweep Lilith off her feet. Lilith hits the mat and Morgan pounces on her into a grounded headlock, seeking to trap her arm for an Anaconda Vice. But Lilith keeps her arms free and manages to slide her head out, flexibly rising to her feet in the process. She goes for a Superkick to the kneeling Morgan but her foot gets snatched and Morgan spins her around, catching her in a waistlock, looking for a German Suplex. Morgan throws Lilith with immense power but Lilith lands on her feet, staggering to keep her balance then runs in as Morgan sits up and catches her with a Rolling Neck Snap. Morgan snaps forward and back down to the mat as Lilith rises and Morgan sits up right into a seated Superkick from Lilith! Cover!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT FROM MORGAN!
Lilith sits up and picks Morgan up with her, hooking her head for a Fisherman Suplex and slams Morgan back onto the mat again. The referee drops for the cover again but Morgan instantly thrashes out of it. Lilith reaches for Morgan again but Morgan swats her arms away as she pushes up to her feet and rocks her across the jaw with a forearm. Lilith staggers but answers back with a hard chop across the chest to Morgan. Morgan steps back but answers back with a backhand chop of her own and it becomes a chop off between the two until Lilith blocks an incoming strike and answers with a headbutt. Something clicks with Morgan here as she throws her hair out of her face and stares back at Lilith with murder in her eyes. Lilith realizes she might have made a mistake but to her credit, she quickly goes for a follow up, rushing forward for a lariat but Morgan ducks it, hits the ropes and comes flying at Lilith off her feet with a Back Elbow that nearly knocks her inside out. Morgan hops to her feet, sees Lilith rocked and goes for broke, running to the ropes. The crowd’s wondering what she’s gonna do and they’re a bit shocked when she suddenly dips forward, hitting a handstand on the mat. Her legs hit the ropes, springing her back. Morgan hits her feet and, all in one smooth motion, pops up with a Handspring Moonsault onto Lilith and hooks the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
LILITH KICKS OUT!
Morgan grabs Lilith again and lifts her up, driving her back down to the mat with a Spinning Sidewalk Slam. Lilith hits the mat hard but manages to avoid a pinning predicament as she rolls and sits back in a corner. Morgan sees the opening however and stands across the ring where she comes charging in, leaps, turns and drives her backside right into Lilith’s head for a big Hip Attack. Lilith’s down but not out but certainly rocked as Morgan steps in again and grabs her behind the head, beginning to throw forearm after forearm in repeated succession. Vicious Forearm Strikes to Lilith until the referee warns her off with a four count. Morgan backs off without hesitation but steps right back in to stay on her opponent, pulling Lilith to her feet and Biel Throwing her out into the center of the ring. The sheer force sends Lilith rolling up to her feet in the opposite corner and Morgan comes charging in, leaving the mat with her feet again for a big Running Body Splash but Lilith dives out of the way and Morgan crashes sternum first into the turnbuckle. She slumps against the corner and Lilith answers quickly with a European Uppercut before lifting Morgan onto the top turnbuckle and takes her back down with a Superplex for another cover!
ONE!
TWO!
MORGAN KICKS OUT!
As Lilith sits up off of Morgan, the camera switches to the ramp where Jinx, The Jestress is seen creeping out to ringside, staying low as she watches the action. No one in the ring has noticed her yet until Lilith climbs up to the top turnbuckle, looking for something big. That’s when Jinx suddenly climbs up onto the apron, looking like she’s about to shove Lilith off but the referee sees her and calls her out. Jinx freezes like a deer in headlights with both the referee and Lilith staring right at her. As the referee warns Jinx to get off the apron and leave, Morgan makes it to her feet. The first thing she sees is Lilith on the turnbuckle and she runs up the ropes, grabbing Lilith by the head to steady her before suddenly hopping up and snapping her off the turnbuckle with an explosive Frankensteiner!!!! Morgan hooks the leg for the pin! The referee’s not there! Morgan looks up and sees the ref yelling at Jinx to get out of here and she angrily gets to her feet, walking to the ropes.
Morgan Payne: Hey! What’chu doin’ aht here?!
Jinx, The Jestress: I just wanna help!
Morgan Payne: I don’t want help! Get ahtta here!
Jinx, The Jestress: Let Jinxy do something nice!
Morgan Payne: Dis ain’t it! Stay tha fuck aht my business!
Morgan says this, pointing to Jinx as she steps away from the ropes. She turns around RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM LILITH!! Morgan drops down to a knee, holding her jaw! Jinx watches in shock as Lilith hits the ropes and comes back with “Wicked Stomp (Curb Stomp)!” Morgan’s head is driven into the mat!! Lilith covers!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Vivian Blake: Here is your winner…LILITH…PARKER!
Kyle Cassidy: Morgan Payne had this match won until Jinx cost her!
Winter Mae: She may have but I don’t think this is what Jinx was hoping for!
Kyle Cassidy: Well maybe not but still!
Lilith has her arm raised as Morgan sits up, holding her jaw again. Lilith and Morgan exchange a glance before Morgan’s head turns towards Jinx who’s still standing at ringside with her hands over her mouth. Morgan sits there, seething with rage…until she finally explodes and rolls out of the ring and starts storming towards Jinx who steps back, shaking her head before turning and instinctively high tailing it. The chase is on as Morgan breaks into a spring after her, hopping the barricade to follow Jinx into the crowd but The Jestress is already disappearing through the doors leading to backstage.
Kyle Cassidy: You better run little girl!
Winter Mae: Hell hath no fury like a pissed off Ace!
Morgan disappears through the same doors as Lilith celebrates her victory.
RESULT: PINFALL (WICKED STOMP)
We open backstage. There the cameras catch up to the deranged and deadly yet beautiful Kimberly Williams. The Queen of the Death Match is wearing her crimson red and black dragon themed ring attire. She sits on a packing crate with her beloved plushy penguin, Wasley, resting in her lap. Wasley, on this occasion, is wrapped in barbed wire. Next to the packing crate is a large bag which one can only imagine contains an assortment of weapons.
“I think I found my new special friend, Wasley! Isn’t that great?” Kimberly laughs nastily. “Yeah, yeah, I know, we still have Dipshit Damian out there, thinking he’s some unstoppable force. But I’ll circle back around to that waste of space soon enough. I will recapture what is mine soon enough. But for now I have a new playmate who wants to enjoy my special brand of chaos.” The Woman Scorned turns to face the camera and waves at the camera.
“Ally! Can I call you Ally? Or River? River is a cool name! I’ll call you River! So, River, you want to play, am I right? You want to make a name for yourself at my expense? You want to attack the deadliest most psychotic individual on this roster. I actually respect that kind of attitude! I respect the strategy! Granted, it will end with you being maimed, bloodied, and left laying in the center of the ring, but hey! I respect you! And that’s what matters, right?” She shakes her head.
“See, I am not your average Jane who is going to be intimidated by your muscle headed antics and stupid words. Others might be impressed by your little act but not me. I’ve experienced nightmares that you couldn’t begin to fathom. I have walked through all sorts of hell that you could not begin to imagine. Out of everything I have experienced and every single person I have ever faced, there is only ONE individual I have ever run across who scared me…” she points at herself “...and you are looking at her. The only thing that scares me is what I am truly capable of when I let go and let loose.” Kim throws her head back and laughs.
“But come on, Ally River, lets dance! And while I know that technically this is a standard match, we’re supposed to play by the rules, but come on, River, when have you ever known me to play by the rules? Rules are meant to be broken. What’s more fun, defeating you in a wrestling match or using one of my many fancy weapons to bludgeon you to death? I might lose by disqualification, but hey, at least I would be doing this roster and the fans a big service by ridding ZION of your filth. In the process I would feed the darkest desires of my soul. I would entertain the deadliest desires in my heart.” A sinister grin forms on her face.
“So if you wanted some pushover then you barked up the wrong damn tree. If you wanted a pushover then you made the worst possible mistake. If you wanted a war, then I will damn sure oblige.”
The camera crew moves to the arena’s outside parking lot. A few cars are parked in the distance down the way but it looks mostly barren. Shouting and commotion behind the door leading inside the arena can be heard before the door bursts open and Jinxy comes running out with her head looking back over her shoulder. She stops in the middle of the parking lot and looks around her like a trapped cat seeking an escape before she goes running by the camera man but in the process, she accidentally shoulder checks him as he starts to turn with her and the perspective of the camera goes down.
Just as the camera man finds his footing and gets the camera back up, the same door comes flying open again. This time it’s a furious looking Morgan Payne that comes running out into the lot. She stops in her tracks and looks all around for any sign of the woman, looking visibly frustrated. Morgan finally looks past the camera man and sees something that makes her narrow her eyes and she storms past him. The camera swings around to follow her as Morgan walks over towards where a number of excess equipment boxes have been stacked up by a wall. Morgan starts looking behind them and underneath other pieces, growing more frustrated until she kicks an equipment crate in anger. She finally turns towards the cameraman and throws her hands up and out to her sides.
Morgan Payne: Fuck you aht here for? Ya see where she went?
The cameraman gives no verbal response but it’s clear he has no idea when Morgan shakes her head and goes storming past him again and back into the arena where she can be heard cursing at the top of her lungs.
The camera lingers on the door for a moment and the camera man starts to walk back towards the door before stopping and turning as if curious himself. The camera pans across the area in the direction that Jinxy went running. It’s a matter of wondering where exactly she could have gone until one of the lids of the equipment crates moves a little. In fact, it’s the same crate that Morgan kicked that the lid slowly lifts up and the camera zooms in from where it is, just enough to see the top of Jinxy’s head poking up from inside the box. Her eyes are as wide as saucers. She slowly climbs out of the crate, tip toeing in her boots as if she’s afraid her footsteps might be heard from inside the arena still. From there, The Jestress pulls up the hood to her hoodie and goes running off into the dead of night before Mayhem cuts away.
MATCH #3: ALEJANDRO RIVERA VS KIMBERLY WILLIAMS
The bell rings as the scene in the ring immediately becomes chaotic! Rivera and Williams shuffle to the center of the ring and immediately trade punches as though they’re in a hockey fight! Rivera eventually gets the upper hand, nailing Williams with a shot so hard that she topples through the ropes and out of the ring! Rivera doesn’t waste time in attempting to fill that gap, stepping through the ropes to get out of the ring and give chase! But Williams retaliates, nailing Rivera with a Kick just as he steps through to leave him draped over the ropes! Williams follows up now, stepping onto the apron and planting herself right onto Rivera with a Leg Drop over the ropes!
Rivera topples into the ring, with Williams going to the top rope in order to follow up! She dives off for Diving Clothesline, but Rivera reverses, catching her out of midair and planting her with a World’s Strongest Slam in one swift motion! He goes for the pin, only for Williams to kick out at two! Rivera pulls Williams to her feet, nailing her with a European Uppercut that sends her back into the corner! He follows her into the corner, clobbering her with a Clothesline before going to the opposite end of the ring to do it again! But Williams is the one in hot pursuit now, following Rivera and nailing him with a Spinning Back Elbow in the corner! She follows up, looking for a Yakuza Kick! But Rivera reverses, pulling Williams up and dumping over the ropes with a Powerbomb!
Rivera now leaves the ring, nailing Williams with a punch to the temple as she tries to get up that sends her backing into the barricade! Rivera runs towards her, looking to send her through! But Williams reverses, pushing Rivera up and sending him over the barricade with a Back Body Drop! Williams climbs the barricade now, leaping off to connect with a Diving Clothesline! Williams gets to her feet taking the time to hype up the crowd around her! But this is all the time Rivera needs to get back into this, sending Williams flying into the crowd with a Pounce! Rivera gets Williams up, walking her across the crowd before ramping her head into the railing of the stairs in the stands!
Winter Mae: The referee calls this one as a count out, though I doubt either of these two care!
Kyle Cassidy: These two aren’t just out to win a match, Winter! They just wanna straight up maim each other!
Williams begins to stumble up the stairs with Rivera following her until they make it into the concourse away from the stands! There, Williams gets back into this, nailing Rivera with a kick to the midsection before dragging him over to a merch table! She lifts him up, dropping him through the table with a Vertical Suplex! The hollering fans around them cheer for this, as Williams gets up and takes a breath near the door that leads outside the arena! This ends up being a mistake, as Rivera gets to his feet again, running up to Williams and sending her through the glass door with a SPEAR!!
Winter Mae: Oh my god! This is getting barbaric!
Kyle Cassidy: These two are acting like wild animals with one another!
Medics and referees finally begin to storm the scene checking on Williams and Rivera! Though, surprisingly, both of them seem to wanna keep fighting, with the referee’s concerns shifting from checking on their well-being to trying to keep them apart as we fade!
RESULT: NO CONTEST (DOUBLE COUNT OUT)
Cameras find Dr. Eleanor Segrave back in her office, sitting at her desk with her glasses resting on the bridge of her nose as she carefully combs over an open folder of papers in front of her. She takes a slow sip of tea, setting it back down on her desk as she adjusts her glasses slightly. Lifting up a paper from the folder, her face shows signs of intrigue before looking at something on her computer screen. A moment later she sets the paper back down and picks up her phone, tapping away at the screen to dial a number. She brings the phone to her ear and waits. And waits…and waits…until finally…
Dr. Eleanor Segrave: Yes, good evening! Is Dr. Strauss available?
Brief pause as she listens to the other end of the line and nods instinctively.
Dr. Eleanor Segrave: Yes thank you. This is Dr. Eleanor Segrave. If you could connect me then I would very much appreciate it.
Dr. Segrave looks up at the camera then and makes an “excuse you” face and waves them off before tapping the mute button on her phone.
Dr. Eleanor Segrave: I’m sorry, I’m going to need you to leave. Confidentiality. Shoo!
She unmutes the phone and puts it to her ear again as the camera starts to back out of her office.
Dr. Eleanor Segrave: Yes, Dr. Strauss? Good evening! My name is Dr. Eleanor Segrave. I wanted to speak with you about…
It’s all we can hear as the office door closes and the shot cuts back to ringside.
MATCH #4: JACK MORRISON VS XAVIER AMARI
The match began with a quick exchange of strikes, Morrison landing a series of forearm strikes that staggered Xavier momentarily. However, Xavier responded with a flurry of kicks, his precision and speed forcing Morrison to backpedal. Morrison attempted to regain control with a powerful lariat, but Xavier ducked under it, rebounding off the ropes and nailing Morrison with a lightning-quick rana, sending him crashing to the mat. Morrison quickly rolled out of the ring to collect himself, but Xavier wasn't about to give him any breathing room. With the crowd firmly behind him, Xavier sprinted towards the ropes, launching himself over with a perfectly executed Sasuke Special, crashing into Morrison and sending both men sprawling to the floor. Amari was quick back to his feet, grabbing Morrison and rolling him back into the ring before climbing back in himself.
Morrison used his cunning to regain the upper hand. After luring Xavier into a corner, Morrison reversed an Irish whip and drove Xavier back-first into the turnbuckle with a brutal Yakuza Kick. The impact stunned Xavier, giving Morrison the opening to follow up with a series of clinched knees to the midsection, each one more vicious than the last. Morrison then hoisted Xavier up onto the top turnbuckle, looking to deliver a devastating Superplex. But Xavier fought back, hammering Morrison with elbow strikes to the side of the head. Morrison staggered, and Xavier capitalized by leaping off the top rope with a Diving Crossbody. Morrison hit the mat hard, and Xavier hooked the leg for the pin for a quick pin.
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
No! Jack kicked out at two and a half! Morrison, seething with frustration, resorted to underhanded tactics, raking Xavier’s back before locking in a Rear Naked Choke. Xavier struggled against the hold, the life being slowly squeezed out of him. The crowd rallied behind Xavier, chanting his name as he clawed his way to the ropes. Just as he was about to reach them, Morrison released the choke and dragged Xavier back to the center of the ring, transitioning into a brutal Ankle Lock. Xavier writhed in pain, but he managed to roll through, sending Morrison crashing into the turnbuckle. Seizing the moment, Xavier staggered to his feet, delivering a desperation Superkick that caught Morrison flush on the jaw, dropping him to the mat. With the crowd on their feet, Xavier climbed to the top rope, signaling for One 2 Midnight. He soared through the air, viciously colliding with Morrison.
Before Amari could move to pin Morrison, Quinton and Eric Silver from The Purge showed up at ringside. The referee’s attention turned to them, beginning to warn them not to get involved. While the referee’s back was turned, Calvin Faye slipped into the ring on the opposite side, nailing Xavier with a pair of brass knuckles, laying him out, before quickly sliding out of the ring. Morrison dragged Xavier to his feet, delivering a devastating White Chapel Necktie that left Xavier motionless on the mat. With a final look of disdain, Morrison backed into the corner, sizing up his prey. The crowd, sensing the inevitable, tried to will Xavier to his feet, but it was too late. Morrison charged forward, delivering the Dear Boss with bone-crushing force to the back of Xavier’s head. The impact was sickening, and Xavier crumpled to the mat, unconscious. Morrison casually dropped to his knees, placing one hand on Xavier’s chest for the pin.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Jack! “The Ripper”! Morrison!
Winter Mae: Xavier Amari has been a thorn in the side of The Purge ever since he ventured over to the red brand! Now thanks to them, The Ripper has claimed another victim!
Kyle Cassidy: By hook or by crook, Jack Morrison has continued to forge a path forward here in Zion Wrestling! Only time will tell what this will mean for him, or his ongoing feud with the likes of Amari and Alex Andrews!
Morrison stands tall over Amari with the rest of The Purge!
RESULT: PINFALL (DEAR BOSS)
Before we cut away from the ring, “Slave To The Grind” by Halestorm begins to play, with Katrina Lopez making her way from the back.
Katrina Lopez: How’s Puerto Rico doing tonight?!
The crowd cheers for the Mayhem GM.
Katrina Lopez: We’ve had a load of amazing action tonight, and I don’t want to take any more time away from it than I have to, so I’ll make this quick. In a few weeks, Zion Wrestling will make their way to San Juan for Invasion: Puerto Rico!
Another pop from the crowd.
Katrina Lopez: And for occasions like these, we like to have as many fun matches on the card as possible, and that’s why I’m here to announce the return of one of the most beloved matches and prizes there is in Zion. At Invasion: Puerto Rico, nine competitors from Mayhem, Wasteland, and Fusion, will compete for the Chance Briefcase in a Ladder Match!
Another large pop from the crowd, who approve of this match.
Katrina Lopez: Now there’s a reason I’ve decided to announce this right after this match, and it’s because I also want to announce that by virtue of his win tonight, Jack Morrison will be the first competitor to enter the match. To the other eight, good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Winter Mae: Whoa! A huge announcement from Katrina Lopez!
Kyle Cassidy: The Chance Briefcase has been the thing that launched careers from great to legendary! The greatest giants of Zion Wrestling have competed for and won that thing, and we'll have another person added to the list come Invasion!
“Slave To The Grind” begins to play again, with Lopez making her way to the back and leaving a smiling Jack Morrison in her wake as we fade!
Meliana Rodrigo is standing next to a focused but confident “Classy” Bianca Page backstage of Coliseo Héctor Solá Besares.
Meliana Rodrigo: I am standing here with a woman who is about to face Travis Levitt in an Elimination Match…
“Classy” Bianca Page: Go ahead.
Meliana Rodrigo: What?
“Classy” Bianca Page: Go ahead…
Meliana Rodrigo: Seriously? What?
“Classy” Bianca Page: Go ahead and say my name.
Meliana rolls her eyes and sighs.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Classy” Bianca Page.
“Classy” Bianca Page: What was that?
Meliana Rodrigo: OH MY GOD! You cannot be serious?!?!
“Classy” Bianca Page: I am. Go ahead and say my name with a little bit of umph.
Meliana Rodrigo: What people say about you is right…
“Classy” Bianca Page: What was that?
Meliana Rodrigo: I said, “Classy” Bianca Page!
A big smile comes over Bianca’s face.
“Classy” Bianca Page: That’s what I thought you said.
Meliana Rodrigo: Tonight is the night, Bianca. It has been almost two full months since Travis Levitt…
“Classy” Bianca Page: Almost murdered me? Yes, it has been a very turbulent last couple months surviving Travis’ vicious murder attempt but I am remaining brave.
Meliana Rodrigo: Is the sneak attack you did to Travis two weeks ago on Mayhem when you came out of hiding so brave?
“Classy” Bianca Page: Did you not get the part where Travis tried to kill me by throwing me to my death? Are you not aware of that?
Meliana Rodrigo: I am aware of that tragic accident.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Yes, it is a tragedy that Travis is not in jail for the rest of his life for what he did to me!
Meliana Rodrigo: That seems to be a bit of an overreaction.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Wow! It seems like Travis corrupted you too, Meliana?
Meliana attempts to speak but Bianca doesn’t allow her to.
“Classy” Bianca Page: This is no fabrication on my part, Meliana. People saw that Travis tried to kill me. He is a bad example of a man and a father because what he is telling his daughter by his actions is that it is alright to hit women as long as you don’t like her.
Meliana Rodrigo: Will you be serious?!?! Travis is a good man. What happened at the Mall of America was an accident. An unfortunate accident.
“Classy” Bianca Page: So says a killer and his peanut gallery but I know the truth.
Meliana rolls her eyes.
“Classy” Bianca Page: So tonight, I will go into this match and actually beat Travis face to face because unlike Travis, I am not a hateful coward. The world will have to say out loud what they already know in their hearts. That Travis isn’t as good a wrestler much less as good of a person that I am. And you’ll see that when I out wrestle Travis once again and earn an Endurance title shot.
Bianca smiles.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Now begone, troll, I have a match to win, and destroy the rose colored glasses that you all wear when it comes to Travis Levitt.
Meliana Rodrigo: How can you be so sure?
“Classy” Bianca Page: Because when I rose from the ashes like a Phoenix I became a true Dragon Slayer.
Bianca walks away.
MATCH #5: BIANCA PAGE VS TRAVIS LEVITT
ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATOR MATCH
The bell rings and immediately Travis goes for Bianca, who very neakily ducks between the top and second ropes, forcing the ref to step between the two and have Levitt step back, which the second he turns his back Bianca jumps him from behind which causes Travis to fall face first, and Bianca begins putting the boots to him. She stops to taunt for the booing crowd, seemingly feeding off of the negative energy.
She turns around and picks up Travis, before nailing him with a slap across the face, enraged he goes to swing for her, but she ducks out of the way and stomps on the toes of Levitt as the referee tells her off. She doesn’t care, grabbing Travis and sending him off the ropes, nailing him as he bounces off of them with a bicycle kick that floors The Dragon, and Bianca makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO-
KICKOUT!
Quick kickout at two by Travis, Bianca is quick to complain with the official who just tells her it was only a two. Page pulls up Levitt and goes to lock in a sleeper, only for Travis to pull himself out of it! He shoots Bianca off the ropes and comes charging in, nailing Bianca with a back elbow smash that has her on the floor! Travis is getting fired up here, picking Bianca up he hooks both arms over her head and drops her back with a bridging Dragon Suplex!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Bianca throws the shoulder up at two! Travis almost can’t believe it, thinking he had the match won there. Backing up into the corner he lines up Bianca, looking to connect with the Resurrection Kick, but as Bianca gets to her feet and he comes charging in, Bianca moves out of the way! Travis almost cleans up the official, and as he turns around we see Page coming in, looking to hit Levitt with the “Swanky” Superkick!
BUT TRAVIS CATCHES HER FOOT!
Levitt now spins her around and hooks both arms, looking to connect with “Renee’s Rise”, only for Page to break free and roll him up right by the ropes! The official drops down and is checking the shoulders of Travis, while just outside his view, Bianca Page is grabbing the ropes for more stability!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Bianca! Page!
Winter Mae: Of course Bianca Page would pull something like this! Of course Bianca Page would get the win this way!
Kyle Cassidy: Playing by the rules is not in Bianca Page’s M.O., but you can’t argue with the results! True to the stipulation of the match, Bianca Page now has herself a future shot at the Endurance Championship, to take whenever she chooses!
Page stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)

But there’s a difference between chance and destiny. Maybe Nami is meant to be here, maybe she isn’t. Maybe maybe maybe.
Maybe I'm gonna face Kara alone and finish the story.

So tonight, it's Melissa's turn to prove herself to everyone here and to make what I said look stupid. But guess what? I know she might think it's ridiculous because she thinks she's already won and I shouldn't have to take my rights back. But trust me, no one wants to lose their chance because of something like that. I got cheated and it's unfortunate that it was unintentional cheating. So, unfortunately for Melissa, I can't stand losing to injustice anymore. I came here to fight and when I have the chance to prove myself, I'm going to do it. I've fought injustice all along and this is it again. I don't care who's standing in front of me, but when something's wrong, I have to come back and fix it. This is the time I'm going to do it again and make sure no one else cheats me again.
Nami Megumi: I don't want to get in trouble with you Melissa, but the problem is that I got cheated. I can see that you realize what happened and you want to apologize for it. And I also want to apologize for how it turned out. But the reason it turned out this way is because I have a problem with the unfairness that happened to me. That's why I kicked your face. That's why I keep coming out and saying the same thing over and over again. I will be satisfied when all the problems are solved. And of course, I mean all the problems, I will end it tonight. Melissa, you were just unlucky enough to be part of the problem that got me in trouble. After that night, do you know how frustrated I was? Yes, I was frustrated. Frustrated that everything was so unfair to me. And for me, I didn't lose that night. I just got my victory stolen and you were the one who benefited the most. Don't say I don't have a heart when I say you don't deserve to win. I'm not that cruel. Because if you beat me tonight, I'll accept you. But if you lose tonight? I will get the chance that I deserve and prove that what I said was right. I know you don't want that, do you Melissa? Do you think it's your time? I don't think deep down you really think that. You just got lucky once. Melissa, it's too early to say it's your time. I laughed when I heard that. Let's see if it's true or if you have to accept that this is not your time yet. You're just very lucky.
After Nami finished, the scene faded away.

Megumi gets her legs up to reverse, but Tasman anticipates this, catching the leg and turning Megumi straight into an Ankle Lock!
Megumi is in trouble, with Tasman looking to beat Megumi at her own technical game! Megumi reaches desperately for the ropes, with Tasman pulling back to keep her range of motion limited! But Megumi manages to fight back, rolling forward to get Tasman off of her! Tasman is sent through the ropes and out of the ring, with Megumi looking to fly as a result!
