Puerto Rico, Ponce, is a beautiful city with a lot of culture and history. The venue selected represents just the historical figures and timelines that have created the monument accepting Zion Wrestling’s episode of Mayhem. With the live broadcast opening after the introductory music video highlighting the Mayhem roster, it transitions to the inside of the venue for the rowdy fans of Puerto Rican locals and international visitors stemming to fill the seats in their love for professional wrestling. The camera pans around showing the different types of fans, the signs they made until quickly transporting its point of view to the commentary table for Winter Mae and Kyle Cassidy to take control of the matter.
Winter Mae: Welcome to Monday Night Mayhem live from theAuditorio Juan Pachín Vicéns of Ponce, Puerto Rico! We are prepared to present another round of amazing matches on the card as Mayhem continues to dominate as the red brand of Zion Wrestling!
Kyle Cassidy: Hell yeah! We have a lot of great action tonight such as our opening contest where Alejandro Rivera competes against Kimberly Williams surrounded by four walls of steel. We’re kicking off Mayhem with a Steel Cage Match introducing you all to the hardcore scene of our company!
Winter Mae: That’s right Kyle! We have the Regulators, Inc. vs. Sadie Williams, Alex Andrews vs. Taryn Matthews, and Matushita Sora making some moves in the Mayhem brand!
Kyle Cassidy: And after that, we have the main event of the evening following the madness last week on Mayhem! A triple threat match featuring members of all three teams battling for the Zion Global Tag Team Championships! Olivia Nightshade of Code Black, Kelly Haste of Team Big, Tall and Cute AF and Serenity Holmes of Hungry for Destruction!
Winter Mae: You do not want to miss a single minute of the action! We’re ready to kick off the show with the steel cage-
“Synthetic Sympathy” by Trash Boat interrupts the introduction by Winter Mae. The audience inside the stadium reflect on the music and instantly react negatively diverting their boos and insults to the stage. Once the music has begun after the beginning guitar riffs, the strobelights flashes an array of different colors in rhythm to the beat.
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
From the production area backstage, Serenity Holmes walks out in her in-ring attire accompanied by her leather black jacket and black hat but the Global Tag Team Championship belt held over her right shoulder. She stands center-stage for a moment surveying the audience, her eyes narrowing and she scoffs before marching down focused on getting to the ring.
Kyle Cassidy: I’m not surprised that Serenity Holmes would have something to say tonight especially after the brutal attack caused by Sayge Gonzalez. However, she deserved it. Hungry for Destruction has been running their mouth, specifically Serenity, and expect their enemies to not do anything? We understand Livvie Nelson couldn’t be here but Serenity looks livid.
Serenity climbs the steel steps and stops at the top of the structure to look at the fans at ringside disrespecting her. The camera comes closer to get a good look to her face and she is not very happy. She walks along the apron, wipes her feet and moves through the ropes to get into the ring. Serenity snatches a microphone from a ringside crew member and her entrance music fades to silence where the audience overpowers her with their deafening boos.
Winter Mae: Serenity Holmes is one half of the Zion Global Tag Team Champions. The inaugural champion from Destiny III and has been beside her partner, Livvie Nelson, in proving their dominance setting records that will be hard to follow. However, their biggest challenge awaits at Invasion.
Serenity paces back and forth tapping the microphone on her forward. The audience breaks out into chants and she tries her best to remain composed but their persistence makes it harder for her to remain calm. She turns her body to the ropes and looks at the camera to speak into the microphone.
Serenity Holmes: Last week, I was humiliated! We were humiliated! Ever since we won these championships, the Global Tag Team Championships, all we wanted to do was lead the tag team division. We just wanted to be pioneers as the inaugural champions and show the world why we are the best damn tag team in the company. Despite what you all have said and what the rest of them have said in the back, we just wanted to create a better future but clearly you’re all too stupid to realize that!
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Serenity Holmes: I’m not a mean person. I’m an honest woman. I tell the truth and the truth hurts. The truth hurts so much that the entire tag team division of Mayhem will do everything to ruin Hungry for Destruction. Specifically to you, Sayge Gonzalez.
Serenity looks to the camera inside the ring and she adjusts the belt on her shoulder. The audience cheers at Sayge’s name which makes her pissed off. She laughs and continues with her demands.
Serenity Holmes: All she proved was how much of a coward she is. The attack on my partner, my close friend and your other half of the Global Tag Team Champions, Livvie Nelson, was uncalled for! I had to spent days with Livvie to make sure she was recovering and she can’t even be here tonight to get her revenge!
Serenity looks upwards and closes her eyes to try and calm her nerves.
Serenity Holmes: But I’m here. I’m here tonight. I’m here because I want blood. I tried, and tried to be nice. I tried to remain professional. I stayed out of your business between Code Black and your long ass team name because you’re beneath us. Now? You got my attention, OUR attention.
Serenity immediately turns to the camera and has an intense stare and voice.
Serenity Holmes: Olivia Nightshade and Kelly Haste? Blame Sayge Gonzalez. I’m at the point where blood will taste like water and I will enjoy ripping you both in half. Remember that I am your endgame, I hold a championship you both let slip from your hands and when Invasion comes here in this cesspool known as Puerto Rico-
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Serenity Holmes: -Hungry for Destruction will take everything from you both! We are the most dominant tag team in Zion history! Tonight in the main event, I represent my partner, Livvie, and remind everyone that whether in a tag team or alone, we continue to dominate. Sayge, watch very closely as I dismantle Kelly and Olivia. Watch closely as I rip them and remind the world that the hunt is always on!!!
She slams the microphone on the canvas. “Synthetic Sympathy” by Trash Boat replays from the venue’s surround systems. Serenity raises the championship belt from her shoulder in the air and the audience boos her louder. She rests the belt on her shoulder again and looks into the camera mouthing that she will destroy anyone in her way.

OPENING CONTEST: ALEJANDRO RIVERA VS KIMBERLY WILLIAMS
STEEL CAGE MATCH
Vivian Blake: The following is a Steel Cage Match!
Introducing first…from New York City, New York…weighing in at 245 lbs…Alejandro! Rivera!
And his opponent…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Boston, Massachusetts…weighing in at 120 lbs…Kimberly! Williams!
Winter Mae: Alejandro Rivera has spent every waking moment he’s had since his debut making Kimberly Williams’ life hell! Now it’s culminated in this match taking place!
Kyle Cassidy: This is perhaps the most fitting stipulation for these two to settle things in! Over the weeks, they’ve done everything from jump each other to having the action spill out of the ring! This way, no one comes in or out!
Williams and Rivera don’t even wait for the cage to completely lower before going after each other, battering each other with strikes to the head in unison! Williams looks for the upper hand with a Roundhouse Kick! But Rivera ducks underneath it, countering with a Spinning Backfist that sends Williams to the mat! Williams instinctively rolls out of the ring, narrowly leaving right as the cage descends to its final destination! When Williams rises, she sees Rivera, standing right in front of the cage wall, smiling and waving condescending to her!
Williams climbs up the steel steps, with the referee immediately opening the door for her to get in! She attempts to open it up, only for Rivera to clasp onto it for dear life in order to keep her out! The momentums cancel each other out, causing a silent tug-o-war over the motionless door! But Rivera gets the better of Williams again, letting go of the door and causing her to pull it right into her face! She collapses to the ringside floor, with Rivera attempting to climb out after her! But Williams comes back now, rushing up to the door and nailing it with a Dropkick that sends it right into Rivera’s face!
Williams finally climbs back into the cage, immediately getting to the top rope and looking for a Missile Dropkick to a staggering Rivera! But Rivera reverses, catching Williams right out of midair with a Powerbomb! He boosts her back up now, throwing her into the cage wall with another Powerbomb! He goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Williams! Rivera is on the prowl now, stalking Williams as she attempts to get up before catching her with a Bell Clap! He fixes her into the position before going for a Suplex! But Williams gets out of it, landing her feet behind Rivera before pushing him face first into the cage wall! She doubles down, sending Rivera into the cage wall again with a Dropkick! She jumps the ropes now, jumping off and bouncing off the wall to catch Rivera with a Coffin Drop! Williams scrambles to make the cover!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Rivera! Williams looks for the end here, waiting in the corner for Rivera to make it to his feet before going for Morrigan’s Wrath! But Rivera catches, rushing in and clobbering her with a King Kong Lariat! He gets Williams up, backing into the cage wall and dropping her into it with a Back Suplex! Williams nearly collapses to the mat off of this, with Rivera getting her up again and dropping her with Watch Those! Backdrop Driver connects! Pin by Rivera!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Williams! Rivera looks to end this one, getting her up for Capital Punishment! But Williams reverses, nailing him over the head with a set of Elbows to the side of the head until he puts her down! Williams immediately rushes towards him, nailing him with Morrigan’s Wrath! Superkick connects! Rivera lands right next to the ropes, immediately being able to attempt to pull himself up using them! Williams sees this, going after him by drilling him over the head with punches! But Rivera is able to come back from this, pushing Williams up before running her right into the cage wall! But much to everyone’s surprise, the wall unbuckles with the two of them crashing straight through!
Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!! HO-LY SHIT!! HO-LY SHIT!! HO-LY SHIT!!
Winter Mae: This has gotten out of control!
Kyle Cassidy: Someone needs to stop this! The very thing this match was sanctioned to avoid has just happened!
Both competitors are laid out on the cage wall, both of them lying motionless! Williams is the first to stir, rolling off of the cage and looking to make an official escape to end this match! She rolls off just enough to get one foot towards the floor! But before she can move any further, Rivera reaches over and covers, getting just one arm on her!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Alejandro! Rivera!
Winter Mae: Alejandro Rivera just narrowly escapes the jaws of defeat in what has been a hellacious match!
Kyle Cassidy: The steel cage is getting its money’s worth in usage over the next couple weeks, and with this first match, it can be safely said that the bar has been set incredibly high!
Rivera rolls off the cage wall, immediately collapsing to the floor before the referee helps him up! He celebrates, laughing and mocking Williams as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (LAST MINUTE COVER)
We're in the Yellow Rose Saloon, as Jane and Sadie are walking in with a new bartender at the helm and Josie Wales taking a break from training at the Zion Star Factory.
Josie Wales
“Good to see you again. Haying season go alright?”
She stated, as the two had hard formwork through the summer, hence their lack of appearances on Mayhem.
Sadie Cassidy
“About as good as it could. Lucky there was enough rainfall for it all.”
She stated, with Jane approaching the new bartender, a brunette named Viola and giving her a welcoming hug across the counter.
Jane Adler
“You been holding everything down alright while we were out?”
Viola Schafer
“Of course, it's been a good experience. It's been mostly peaceful, aside from the usual suspects being loud and obnoxious. Josie's been making sure no one tries to start a fight, too.”
Josie Wales
“Yeah, though you've been missed. There's a lot of work to be done here, though. You girls ready to fight? Silver Brothers are challenging tonight.”
Jane Adler
“Good and ready, Jo. We've got a lot of frustration to let out.”
Sadie Cassidy
“Seeing every other team on this roster constantly bickering and dragging the standards of the division down has been really discouraging. Jane and I have a lot of clean-up to do, starting from the bottom and all the way up the ladder.”
Josie Wales
“Looks like it. We got Viola to help run the place, so, I expect you two to pick up some slack around here. Time to get serious about the mission around here, girls. Now, go on… get your ass outta here.”
Josie stated, with the girls nodding and making their way out to prepare for the fight ahead of them.
The scene cuts backstage to a shot of ‘The Dragon’ Travis Levitt pacing backstage. Title belt over his shoulder and a stern look in his eyes. Turning a corner, Travis pauses for a moment as he spots James Crosbie, the two men sharing a look before Travis nods and steps forward, taking james’ hand in a firm shake.
Travis Levitt: James. Waiting for me or just a lucky chance?
James Crosbie: Well, I was waiting to talk to someone important, but you got here first, so you’ll do.
Travis grins and shakes his head, adjusting his Endurance championship on his shoulder and waiting for James.
James Crosbie: So, big two months for you Dragon. Winning that Endurance Title after the former champion vacated it. A woman you murdered coming back from the dead. What's next for The Dragon?
Travis Levitt: Well, for starters, I didn’t murder anybody. Bianca Page—-Nah. You know what. I’ll save that for a few minutes when I get out there and see her myself. As for what's ne….
Travis suddenly stops talking, looking up and off screen and the camera pans back to reveal The Purge are standing there.At first, it looks like they’re muttering among themselves until they realise all eyes are on them. Jack Morrison lifts his head and his eyes fall on Travis.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”Oh, sorry. Were we interrupting something important?”
Travis Levitt: Considering who you are, I’d say every time you breathe your interrupting something more important than you, Jack.
Shiro, Calvin Faye and The Silver Brothers all jeer and laugh as Jack chuckles and starts to step forward. Tala Divata tries to coax him from doing so but he holds up a hand, easing her and his manager before coming to stand right in Travis’ face.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”Is that right…champ?”
He takes a second to eye the Endurance Championship on Travis’ shoulder before looking him dead in the eyes again.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”Look, you’ve got claws to match that forked tongue of yours…Dragon. That much is clear and I’ll give it to you.”
He pauses and jeans in closer, moving to Travis’ ear and speaks lower but still loud enough for the camera to hear him.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”You just remember whose den you’re really in, eh? It’d be a real shame to get those wings clipped so early, mate.”
Jack leans back with a dark, condescending smile and gives Travis a hearty slap on the shoulder before moving past him. The rest of the Purge take the cue and follow after him, all giving Travis an equally smug look as they pass him by. Travis watches them go, a glare in his eyes before scowling and reaching up to wipe at his ear.
Travis Levitt: Jesus. Breath so bad he stained my fucking ear. Someone should start Purging that.
Travis looks back at James and then shakes his head.
Travis Levitt: Anyway, catch you up next time James. I got a certain Classy Bitch that needs my attention.
And with that The Dragon heads off and towards the ring as the scene cuts out.
The camera comes back from its latest commercial, panning over the excited Puerto Rico crowd. The night has been good so far, but after a few moments the lights fade out and the PA kicks into the heavy guitar riff to start ‘Through the Fire and the Flames’ by Dragon Force! Puerto Rico roars as a few moments in, from the back out bursts The Dragon himself, ZION Endurance title around his waist and a big grin stretching his face as he looks around at the cheering crowd with a big grin. He makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with some fans on each side, before heading up and into the ring. Climbing upto a top turnbuckle, he unstraps his belt and raises it, arms posed wide for a long moment before hopping down and turning to cross to the other side. Finally, he hops down and reaches out to be handed a microphone, and then slowly and casually turns back around, adjusting his title on his shoulder and looking around at the fans.
Travis Levitt: Hey! Puerto Rico! Whose ready to F–F—FLAME ON, DRAGONITES!
The crowd roar the words with him and its clear to see Travis enjoys it as he grins, and then takes another look around before turning back towards the stage area.
Travis Levitt: Now, listen, I’d love to stand here and run through certain people from backstage. But I’m actually out here for a reason. See, in ten days, I’m getting inside this very ring against someone that…..well. I’ve got a few things to say too. But every time I get within five feet of her, she turns tail and runs like hell. So, what I’m going to do now, is call on my peeps in that production truck to bring down that big steel boy upstairs, yeah?
Travis pauses for a moment, and then glances up, looking up high before a moment later the lights start flickering, and from the roof down comes the steel cage. Travis waits in the center of the ring, just watching the steel as it slowly descends and surrounds the ring, waiting until it is completely settled and then stalking forward and shaking the steel with a smile.
Travis Levitt: There we go. Sixteen feet of steel surrounds this ring. I’m surrounded, Binx. So now that you have been afforded the security of knowing exactly where I am, and enough of a warning to get your headstart away from me, why don’t you come on out here, and we’ll talk.
“Wildest Dreams” by Taylor Swift begins playing. Bianca’s security team leads the way as “Classy” Bianca Page confidently emerges from the entrance way and begins strutting down the ramp. The security team stands across the aisle blocking the ringside area from the aisle. Bianca stops midway down the aisle.
“Classy” Bianca Page: I notice that you didn’t have yourself locked in the cage. Way to be a coward, Travis.
Bianca shakes her head in disgust.
“Classy” Bianca Page: But why shouldn’t I be surprised? You keep conveniently leaving out that you tried to murder me three months ago and if I wasn’t a phenomenal athlete who is in incredible shape you would probably be in a maximum security prison on death row as a convicted murder. That is why I stay away from you because you are trying to murder me again. Way to go around victim shaming me, you big bully.
Travis Levitt: And here we go again, pull up your seats fans, because its the revised history of life, as told by The Classiest Bitch alive. Everyone can see the footage again, just pull it up on YouTube or NFW.com. YOU tried to kill me and failed, when my instincts kicked in. Because that's what I am, Page. To the very core of my being, I am a wrestler. A better wrestler then you have, or could ever, be.
Travis pauses now, adjusting the title on his shoulder and letting out a sigh before shaking his head and backing up.
Travis Levitt: But I didn’t call you out here to talk revisionist history, or let you complain AGAIN about being dumped. No, we’re going to talk about Invasion. We’re going to talk about the Dragons Den. I want you to take a good look, Page. Look at all this steel. Look at your future. In ten days, you and I are going to be locked inside this steel for thirty minutes. No escapes. No exits. No rules. Just you…me….and sixteen feet high steel. Pins and Submissions ONLY. Can you feel it already, Page? That little tingle running right down your spine as you look in here at me, and realise EXACTLY what you’ve signed up for?
“Classy” Bianca Page: You don’t want to talk about revisionist history yet you still spew the same revisionist propaganda you have been speeding for months now. That’s why you have enemies everywhere you go. I wonder why that is? If we were to believe your revisionist history it could never be you despite you being the common denominator. As far as my personal life goes, you know the one that you keep bringing up, you creeper. You really are showing your daughter how she should be treated when she becomes of age to start dating. According to you everything is the woman’s fault. Can’t say that I’m surprised you’re a knuckle dragging Neanderthal. But put things to rest because we all know you’re interested since you keep bringing up my dating life. I’ve moved on!
Bianca cracks a smile.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Now let’s talk about this cage match you’ve “thought up.” While you think you have the advantage because you feel like you’ve been wronged.
Bianca rolls her eyes.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Now that’s rich but I doubt a true narcissistic sociopath like you, Travis, has considered anything from my side. It wasn’t you that was thrown from a third floor to what could have been my death. You seem to think that what is going on between us is due to my own vanity but it is so much more than that, Travis. It wasn’t you who went crashing down onto that mall floor in Minnesota. It was me! It wasn’t you who lost his partner over the actions of someone else. Your actions, Travis! You claim to be this virtuous man but your actions just show you are the furthest thing of good nor virtuous! That is why there are so many of us who see you for the piece of shit monster you truly are. That is why what I feel in the pit of my stomach, what I feel in my heart and soul towards you is outright hate! Look at me, Travis!
Travis slightly looks down at the mat.
“Classy” Bianca Page: I SAID LOOK AT ME!!!!.
Travis’ head shoots up and stares daggers at Bianca.
“Classy” Bianca Page: Haha! Now I got your attention! Right now you are looking at a woman who has made it her mission to destroy you. The Zion Wrestling Endurance Championship will be that nice little cherry on top because destroying you and taking all that you hold dear away from you, Travis!
Travis stares at Bianca for a long moment after her latest words, waiting for an extra moment. He starts to raise his mic but then pauses and instead looks down, shaking his head just slightly. He finally raises the microphone again and sighs.
Travis Levitt: YA know what, Binx? I’m sorry.
He pauses for a moment, eyes watching Page closely before he starts to speak again.
Travis Levitt: I’m sorry that your partner LEFT YOU because you weren’t giving him enough attention. I’m sorry that you FAILED to try and kill me and instead got TOSSED OVER a barricade by me saving my own life. I’m sorry that every single FUCKING day I have to hear more BULLSHIT out of you, then the entire US Government can concoct to keep Puerto Rico from becoming a PROPER FUCKING STATE!
Travis pauses now for the roar with that one before he paces forward and grabs at the steel closest to where Page is standing, rattling it as he talks.
Travis Levitt: But most of all, I am sorry for what I AM going to do to you inside this cage in ten days. I have endured MONTHS of your bullshit. Every sneak attack. Every time you mention my daughter. Every twist on facts. I’ve saved it. I’ve bottled it. You’ve tried to end my career THREE FUCKING TIMES in six months….and at Invasion, I’m gonna let it allllll out. And we’re going to find out once and for all…which one of us has endured the most….
Travis gives a final hard shake but then tosses the microphone down, and instead starts scaling the cage. Reaching the top, he throws a leg over, looking right at Bianca storms down the ramp and rushes by her security team. Bianca looks back at them and screams…
“Classy” Bianca Page: STAND DOWN!
Bianca starts climbing the cage herself.
Winter Mae: This wasn’t on my bingo card.
“Classy” Bianca Page: STOP IT!!! You condescending piece of shit!!! You think you got everything figured out, don’t you? In reality Mr. Self Righteous himself doesn't have a damn clue! That rage you have bottled up isn’t even a fraction of what has been stewing inside of me for the last six months.
Bianca reaches the top of the cage and sits right in front of Travis. Their foreheads are pressing on one another’s.
Kyle Cassidy: Oh my! Its Invasion come early. They’re going to do it right now!
Then the Zion Wrestling security team rushes the ring, climbs up the ring and are trying to separate the two combatants as Travis smirks and raises the Endurance title belt high in the air.
MATCH #2: REGULATORS, INC. VS THE SILVER BROTHERS
Quinton Silver started for his team, locking up with Jane Adler in the center of the ring. Adler, known for her technical prowess, quickly applied a side headlock, wrenching down hard, but Quinton countered with a powerful arm drag, sending her sprawling across the mat. Quinton capitalized, hitting her with a snap German suplex, but just as Jane started to recover, Eric Silver came flying in with a diving European uppercut, completing their deadly combo. Sadie Cassidy, watching from the apron, called for a tag, and Adler managed to crawl over and slap her partner’s hand. Cassidy wasted no time, launching herself into the ring with a flying forearm smash that caught Quinton off guard.
Sadie followed up with a back suplex, but Quinton reversed it mid-air, landing behind her and nailing a roaring elbow that sent her stumbling. He tagged in Eric, and the brothers set up a devastating double team—Eric hoisting Sadie up for a vertical suplex while Quinton sealed it with a kick to her ribs, executing their Chasing the Dragon. The pace of the match quickened as Regulators, Inc. fought back. Sadie managed to catch Eric with a Buckshot Lariat, leveling him. She tagged Jane back in, and the duo hit their Fireman's Carry Flapjack into a big boot, leaving Eric dazed. The crowd erupted as Adler went for the pin.
ONE…!
TWO…!
Quinton broke it up at two, saving his brother just in time. As the battle raged on, both teams traded offense in a closely contested match. The Silver Brothers were at their best, utilizing seamless teamwork with quick tags and innovative combos. They nearly ended the match with a Hangman Neckbreaker/Kick combo on Jane, but Sadie flew off the top rope with a slingshot senton to break the pin. Not to be outdone, Adler and Cassidy retaliated with their own high-impact team moves, hitting a spinebuster/slingshot senton combo that had the crowd roaring. Jane followed up with her signature Iconoclasm, driving Eric into the mat, and Sadie dropped Quinton with a jumping superkick. Regulators, Inc. set up for their finisher, Red Dead Revolver, but before they could execute it, Quinton pulled a steel chair from under the ring, bashing Jane across the back.
Winter Mae: What the hell?!
Kyle Cassidy: Things are starting to get out of hand here!
Winter Mae: You can say that about all of the tag team division here on Mayhem!
Kyle Cassidy: Regulators, Inc. wanna be the change they wanna see, but keeping order around here seems about easier said than done!
The referee immediately called for the bell, signaling a disqualification as Quinton and Eric unleashed a flurry of chair shots on both members of Regulators, Inc. The match had devolved into chaos, with both teams disregarding the rules. Sadie managed to grab the chair from Eric and swung it at him, but he ducked, tackling her into the corner. Jane, meanwhile, fought back against Quinton, delivering a stiff running big boot that sent him crashing into the ropes. The referee tried to restore order, but both teams were out of control, trading vicious strikes and ignoring his commands. It wasn’t long before security poured into the ring, forcing themselves between the four competitors. The arena echoed with a chorus of boos and cheers as the teams continued to shout at each other, eyes filled with fury.

MATCH #3: ALEX ANDREWS VS TARYN MATTHEWS
The energy in the arena was electric as Alex Andrews and Taryn Matthews circled each other, the crowd buzzing in anticipation of the hard-hitting contest ahead. Both women had much to prove, and the tension was palpable from the opening bell. The match started with a lockup, both wrestlers jockeying for position before Alex slipped behind Taryn, taking her to the mat with a quick backdrop driver. Taryn rolled through the impact, springing back to her feet, where she greeted Alex with a crisp dropkick, sending her into the corner.
Taryn quickly capitalized on the momentum, charging in with a clothesline that staggered Alex. Before Alex could recover, Taryn transitioned into a snapmare neckbreaker—her Broken Star—whipping Alex’s head violently toward the mat. The crowd winced as Alex clutched her neck, but she wasn’t down for long. Taryn went for a quick cover, but Alex kicked out at two, showing her resilience early in the match. As both women got back to their feet, Taryn attempted to follow up with a step-up enzuigiri, but Alex ducked, using the opening to land a devastating spear that floored Taryn and got the crowd on their feet.
The match became a battle of endurance as each woman pushed the other to her limit. Alex seized control with her technical prowess, locking in a Fujiwara armbar, trying to wear down Taryn’s arm. Taryn grimaced in pain but expertly twisted her body, reaching the ropes with her foot to force a break. The referee stepped in, and Alex backed off, but only for a moment. Alex followed up with a combination of moves—an STO followed by a senton that crushed Taryn beneath her weight.
The match’s intensity reached new heights when Taryn took advantage of Alex’s hesitation after a failed attempt at the Falcon Punch. As Alex staggered, Taryn hit a hurricanrana that sent Alex tumbling into the corner. Sensing her moment, Taryn quickly ascended the turnbuckle and launched herself off with a breathtaking Never Ending Story, connecting squarely with Alex’s midsection. The crowd booed loudly as Taryn hooked Alex’s leg for the potential cover.
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-!
Frustration set in for Taryn, who dragged Alex toward the ropes, setting her up for the Stifled Imagination, a rope-hung Boston crab. The pain on Alex’s face was clear as Taryn bent her spine at a painful angle, but Alex refused to tap out, clawing her way to the bottom rope to break the hold. Taryn, now running on pure adrenaline, pulled Alex to her feet and attempted to hit her Slammed Creation. But Alex countered, slipping out of Taryn’s grasp and stunning her with a quick Elysium running bicycle kick. With Taryn dazed, Alex seized the moment, pulling her in and nailing her with the Hella Rough. The crowd erupted as Alex rolled Taryn over and covered her as the referee slid to the mat.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
The bell rang, and Alex stood victorious, breathing heavily but smiling as the crowd cheered her hard-fought win. Taryn, still dazed, rolled onto her back, staring up at the lights for a few brief moments before slowly getting to her feet. Alex extended her hand in a gesture of sportsmanship, offering Taryn a chance to shake it. Taryn, however, groggily rolled out of the ring, looking frustrated as she staggered toward the ramp. The audience could sense her frustration as she looked back at Alex for a moment, but ultimately she turned away, walking up the ramp.
Just as Taryn reached the top of the stage, a commotion broke out as Quinton Silver, Eric Silver, and Calvin Faye stormed down the ramp, running right past Taryn without a second glance. They slid into the ring and began a vicious assault on Alex, stomping her into the mat as the boos rained down from the crowd. Taryn paused at the top of the ramp, watching the beatdown unfold. She looked back at the ring, seemingly torn between her pride and a fleeting sense of solidarity with Alex, but after a moment of hesitation, she turned and walked to the back, leaving Alex at the mercy of The Purge.
Before things could get worse for Alex, Xavier Amari and Travis Levitt rushed down the ramp to even the odds, but The Purge was relentless. As Travis tried to pull Calvin Faye off Alex, Bianca Page appeared out of nowhere, blindsiding him with a vicious assault of her own. The ring erupted into chaos, with Xavier desperately fending off Quinton and Eric while Bianca pummeled Travis on the outside. In the center of it all, Alex struggled to get back to her feet, battered but unbroken, as the crowd roared for the action to come to an end.
RESULT: PINFALL (HELLA ROUGH)
The cameras cut to the backstage of the arena where Morgan Payne stands in front of a vending machine. She’s dressed in baggy black jeans, her Timbs and a Pittsburgh Steelers T.J Watt jersey with a Kingdom bandanna around her head with her hair up in a partial top ponytail. She inserts a dollar and change into the machine, muttering under her breath about the price of a bottle of pop these days as she pushes the button for her selection. There’s a thumping inside but nothing drops into the receptacle below. Morgan frowns and gives the machine a hard “shove” with her hands and her bottle of Mountain Dew drops down. She mutters again as she grabs it out and starts to twist off the top. One step and the machine glitches, spitting out the dollar bill she inserted. Morgan looks back, shrugs and grabs the bill, stuffing it back in her pocket.
It’s when Morgan turns to leave that she’s “greeted” by Dr. Philip Strauss, flanked by two orderlies behind him. The elderly gentleman takes a moment to assess things in front of him before deciding to ignore the wrestler’s blatant “petty theft” as he folds his hands behind his back and clears his throat, quietly.
Dr. Philip Strauss: ”Ahem. Ms. Payne, is it? Or is it Mrs. Matthews?”
Morgan shifts her posture, making a face of annoyance up at the unsettling man as she finishes removing the cap from her drink and takes a long sip of it.
Morgan Payne: Phantasm.
She responds curtly as she replaces the cap on her Dew.
Morgan Payne: What’chu want?
Dr. Strauss’ jaw tightens as he swallows gently, maintaining his calm. He lifts his chin some, but his eyes never leave Morgan.
Dr. Philip Strauss: ”I beg your pardon, Miss. There’s really no need for such hostility. I merely am here to discuss a proposal that might benefit the both of us.”
Morgan Payne: Uh-huh…
Her eyes move from the Doctor to the two orderlies behind him then back up to him as she takes another drink from her bottle.
Morgan Payne: Look, I’unno what kinda contract yinz got or what yinz gameplan here is. Tha whole loony bin bit? S’cute but kinda lame. We already got enough crazies and saviors and wannabe deities arahnd here. Startin’ t’make Zion look like a circus show. And as far as a proposal goes? I’m married…and you ain’t my type. Ciao.
Morgan goes to move around the Doctor.
Dr. Strauss is swift in his step, however, as he moves to keep Morgan’s path blocked. The whole time, his hands never raise but it’s clear he’s growing more agitated by the adversity.
Dr. Philip Strauss: ”If you would just give me one moment of your time, then I will be out of your way and you can go back to…whatever it is you do. First and foremost, these gentlemen and I are not here under Zion’s employ. The career path in which you…bunch…have chosen, I find rather unhealthy and…barbaric.”
Orderly #1: ”Hell, I watch it!”
Orderly #2: ”Yeah, me too. Love wrestling.”
As both men chime in, Dr. Strauss looks over his shoulder, shooting them a scornful look that demands they be quiet. He turns his attention back to Morgan then and clears his throat once more.
Dr. Philip Strauss: ”As I was saying. My proposal is more of the professional nature. While I may not fancy this “sport” as you may call it, I am not of the mind that a woman with talents such as yours cannot be useful to me, and which in return I may be able to assist in ridding you of a…shall we say…common annoyance?”
As Morgan’s listening to this, her eyes start to roll while she twists the cap off her bottle again and takes a long swig from her pop. Her bottle comes down just as Dr. Strauss finishes talking and she lets out an over exaggerated AHHHHHHHHHH before capping the bottle off again.
Morgan Payne: Look chief.
She stifles a belch, putting a hand to her stomach and cranes her head, making a face as if she’s fighting it for dear life before getting a handle on it and looks up at the Doctor.
Morgan Payne: S’like I told Jinx. Dat’s who dis is abaht yeah? Thought so. S’like I told her. I don’t give a shit what kinda history or past yinz got together. I really fuckin’ don’t. All I care abaht is makin’ sure dat bitch stays ahtta my business and next week dat’s exactly what I’ma make sure of.
Dr. Philip Strauss: ”Do you really think it’s going to be that easy? That she will simply leave you alone after you “best her inside a ring?” Listen very carefully, Ms. Payne. This woman is dangerous. You know it as well as I do. I would wager that others here know just as well. While I would love to divulge how dangerous she really is, of course I cannot. I can only ask that you set aside whatever petty hostility you have towards myself and these gentlemen and trust me. Now, as my proposal goes: we will leave you to your…match. However, afterwards, once you have rendered Ms. Morrow immobile, that is when we will seize her and take her back into our custody. We only ask then, that you do not interfere with our job. Do we have an agreement?”
Dr. Strauss looms in place, waiting expectantly for an answer.
Morgan eyes the Doctor warily, occasionally looking at the orderlies then back to him.
Morgan Payne: You workin’ wif Ellie?
Dr. Strauss appears confused for a brief moment before he recollects the name and a small smile crosses his skeletal features.
Dr. Philip Strauss: ”Oh yes. Dr. Segrave. Hmm. No, I’m afraid not. While I did request her assistance just as I am yours, it would seem that our methods of medical practice do not…align, you might say. She’s quite a compassionate physician, all credit to her. However, I have found in my years of study which go beyond hers that compassion is not always the cure to what ails the human mind. There are times when one must be firm. Those who do not understand the field may even call it cruel. Now then…I will leave you to your devices, whatever they may be, Ms. Payne, and we will see you again next week. Do think it over. The offer is really quite simple. You do what you are paid to do. You let us do what we are all the same. Good evening to you.”
He gives a shallow bow before turning towards the orderlies and proceeds to talk away from the camera, down the hall.
Dr. Philip Strauss: ”Let’s go.”
The orderlies follow after him.
As the three leave, Morgan turns to watch them with the camera slowly panning around to capture her facial expression. She glares hard in the direction of the Doctor and his men but the conflict in her eyes is there. It almost appears as if she’s considering his words as she turns and heads down the hall in the opposite direction.
MATCH #4: MATSUSHITA SORA VS JESSICA CARTER
The bell rang, and Matsushita Sora wasted no time in starting with a barrage of knife-edge chops that echoed through the arena, each one leaving a red welt on Jessica's chest. Jessica tried to counter with a spinning heel kick, but Sora ducked under it effortlessly, catching her off guard with a powerful open palm shotei that sent Jessica stumbling into the ropes. Sora followed up with a thundering running big boot, the Reboot, nearly taking Jessica’s head off as she crashed to the mat. Sora dragged her opponent back to her feet, only to slam her down again with a devastating uranage—her signature Black Whirlwind. Jessica gasped for air, but Sora wasn’t giving her any room to breathe, transitioning into a flawless figure-four leg lock to wear her down even further.
Jessica fought back, showing flashes of resilience, briefly mounting some offense with a quick dropkick and a shining wizard that momentarily staggered Sora. But it was clear Jessica was running on fumes. Sora quickly recovered, countering Jessica's attempt at a one-handed bulldog by powering her up into a spine-rattling powerbomb. The crowd was firmly behind Sora as she pulled Jessica to her feet, whipping her into the ropes and catching her with a vicious clothesline on the rebound. Sensing the end, Sora measured her opponent before yanking Jessica forward into a ripcord and delivering her finisher—the Spiral Flame Strike, a devastating elbow strike that connected flush with Jessica’s jaw. Jessica crumpled to the mat, and Sora covered her for the pin attempt.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Matsushita! Sora!
Winter Mae: Another impressive display by Mayhem’s newest acquisition!
Kyle Cassidy: Miss Mirror Force has quickly captured a lot of support from the Zion fans! But you gotta believe that she’s hungry for even more by this point!
Sora stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (SPIRAL FLAME STRIKE)

RESULT: PINFALL (MOVINGHAMMER)
The vignette opens backstage in the arena with the lights dimmed down,as The Purge stands, in its entirety, in front of the camera. Jack Morrison stands front and center with Shiro at his right while Tala Divata hangs on his left arm. He’s leaning forward with his hand braced on the back of a chair, flanked just behind him by Calvin Faye and The Silver Brothers, standing ominously. The Silvers have their usual cocky smiles, especially considering the group’s actions earlier in the night. Calvin Faye, of course, looks like a rabid animal ready to be let off his leash again. Jack looks into the camera lens from behind a pair of dark shades with his black jacket and jeans on.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”Zion Wrestling! I suppose you want some answers, is that it? Eh? Is that it?!”
Shiro lets out an evil laugh as the reels start to roll, displaying different points in time where Jack and The Purge have come down to the ring. The camera snaps back to Jack as he rips his sunglasses off and stares into the camera with the eyes of a madman.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”It’s been too long, Zion.. Too! Fucking! Long! Since people here have acknowledged just who we are and what we bring to your company.”
The reels roll, showing different points of success for The Purge. Wins made by Calvin Faye and The Silver Brothers. Multiple shots of Jack Morrison raising the Internet Championship, be it in previous promos or after successful defenses. Cut back to the group as Jack forces a smile and shakes his head.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”That’s not enough for you, though, is it? No, no, no. See, you focus on our last big moments in the limelight and you think we’re not a threat anymore.”
Another reel: Destiny III. Melissa Tasman hits Jack Morrison with his own finisher, Dear Boss, and pins him, winning the Internet Championship. Jack sits on the ramp afterward, looking stunned and confused as The Purge come pick him up to help him to the back. The shot returns to the group in the backstage room and Jack is SEETHING with rage.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”So it looks as if…we have another message to send…and the couriers…”
Quick shots of Travis Levitt, Alex Andrews and Xavier Amari flash across the screen.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”...have been chosen.”
Just then, Quinton Silver jumps up behind Jack, speaking to the camera from over his shoulder.
Quinton Silver: This whole damn year, we’ve been handing out beating after beating after beating. And while we do it, we’ve had folks like Alex Andrews trying to psychoanalyze, trying to figure out why we do what we do. That’s the part that scares them, that they can’t figure us out.
Eric Silver jumps in now, doing the same thing over Jack’s other shoulder.
Eric Silver: It’s very simple, since we gotta spell it out for ya. We do this for the money, we do this for the power, we do this for the respect. And as K Dot would say, that last one is better, but it seems to be the only one we don’t get around here. Despite our skills…
We cut to footage of Calvin Faye’s matches, displaying his incredible range of offense.
Quinton Silver: Despite our heritage…
We then see a couple of quick cuts, going back and forth between The Silver Brothers’ in-ring exploits and that of their father, Adrian Sterling Silver.
Eric Silver: Despite our accolades…
We finally cut to Jack Morrison’s multiple victories and moments as Internet Champion, including his entrance with it at Destiny III!
Quinton Silver: That’s when we figured out the one way to get that respect we’ve been looking for is by taking it…by force.
The last reel shown displays The Purge as a solidified unit standing in the ring in a line as Jack’s voice speaks up again.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”If we want it…we’ll take it. If anyone tries to stop us…we’ll end them. Starting with you: Alex. Travis. Xavier. You think things are tough now?”
The camera cuts back to The Purge in the room with an unsettling calm having come over Jack’s face as he stares right into the camera.
Jack “The Ripper” Morrison: ”We’ve only just begun. Mark my words, your glory days in Zion…are…over! Welcome…to the Purge Society!”
The shot snaps to black as the famous “Purge siren” begins to blare. With each bellow, a neon Purge mask flickers and lights up on the screen until there’s four in a circle. The siren stops as the masks flicker and fizzle out, bringing the screen back to black before the woman’s voice from the films of the same name is heard.
”....May God be with you all….”
Winter Mae: Some bold words from The Purge there, and with Jack Morrison in action at Invasion: Puerto Rico, he is in perfect position to act on them!
Kyle Cassidy: Speaking of Invasion: Puerto Rico, we have a huge line up ahead for San Juan come next weekend, that’s for sure!

All that and more goes down at Invasion: Puerto Rico!
The broadcast became focused on the ring, showing a different look than it usually did. The canvas was swapped out for a black one with a desk table in the center of the ring with two chairs to go along with it. The General Manager of Mayhem, Katrina Lopez was in the ring along with the furniture, opening and placing the contract on the table before proceeding to speak.
Katrina Lopez: Hello, everyone. I’m here to monitor this contract signing for the match between Miguel Ortiz and Akane Yamashita at Invasion: Puerto Rico. Let’s not waste any more time, Please welcome out first, Akane Yamashita!
The sounds of “CHAINSAW BLOOD” by VAUNDY filled the arena for the time being, it didn’t take long for Akane Yamashita to step out past the curtain and begin her walk to the ring where she reached out to some of the fans on her way to the ring. She clearly wasn’t dressed to wrestle, more of a professional look that was a dark blue suit with a white dress shirt. Yamashita made her way into the ring and shook the hand of the General Manager, nodding and smiling. She went to sit in one of the chairs while she waited.
Katrina Lopez: Now, please welcome the other competitor in this match, Miguel Ortiz!
“Kill or Be Killed” by New Years Day began playing as Miguel Ortiz walked out from the back, dressed in one of his new shirts, a pait of black leather pants, and a pair of boots. His brother in-law and fellow Void member, Eduardo Gutiérrez, was with him and dressed in a KC shirt, jeans, and a pair of boots as well. Before the duo began making their way to the ring, Miguel put his arm out in front of Ed and shook his head. He said nothing but nodded his head to the back, telling Ed to go back to the locker room. The Spaniard gave him a look but simply nodded before heading to the back. The Mauler kept his gaze on the ring as he walked down the ramp, stepping into it once he climbed onto the apron. He said nothing to the general manager as he sat in the chair across from Akane, his focus not leaving the woman as he waited for things to get underway.
The contract was placed down on the table, Yamashita’s gaze was still down at the table this entire time. Sighing, she picked up the microphone that was next to the contract where she was clearly thinking.
Akane Yamashita: I suppose this is a rather unique scenario for me, so I’m sorry if I’m spending too much time to just be happy to be here. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for me to be losing a Global Heavyweight Championship match then be sitting back here just a little while later. I know what the reality should be. I shouldn’t even be on Invasion, or at the very most I should just be on a pre show or a dark match, something like that. But instead, I’m sitting here, about to main event the second night of Invasion. I think that simply speaks about the fact that Zion knows that my potential is a lot higher than most people’s ceilings.
Akane paused for a moment, looking at the contract.
Akane Yamashita: I will tell you upfront, though. Miguel, I had this contract changed earlier today. I talked to a few people and they liked the idea that I had for this match, and the only person left to sign off on it is…well, you. I had the idea of turning this into a…
Akane paused again.
Akane Yamashita: A Street Fight.
Taking the pen, Akane reached over to sign her name on the first line, then left the pen down on the paper.
Akane Yamashita: This won’t be an easy match for you, in any regards. I’m not looking past you, but I will use this as my first step to get back near the Global Heavyweight Championship. This…fortunate positioning for me, albeit last second, I’m going to make the most of it, and like I do with every match, I’m going to put everything that I can into this match. I know what you can bring, and I’m sure you know the same about me. Well, what do you say? Are you ready to leave everything on the streets?
Miguel smirked as he picked up the microphone that was on his side of the table, his eyes boring into Akane as he did.
Miguel Ortiz: A Street Fight, huh?
Miguel chuckled as he reached for the pen. He looked at it for a about a minute or so before bringing the microphone back up to speak again.
Miguel Ortiz: I could pull the age old story of how “the streets made me who I am, who you’ll be getting in the ring with” but I can’t say that’s what happened with me. And despite what you and these morons may think, I have more respect for myself than to cheapen who I am by telling that lie.
Miguel twirlrf the pen between his fingers for a moment, simply watching it before he signed the contract, yet another smirk coming to his face as he tossed the pen down.
Miguel Ortiz: What I will tell you, Akane? You have made a huge mistake in thinking that you have a chance against me at Invasion.You say you’re not looking past me, but the second you called me and the guys KC’s goons? You discounted Ed. You discounted Zach. You discounted me, and that’s going to be your downfall in Puerto Rico.
Miguel went to toss the microphone onto the top but paused, rubbing his chin for a second before raising it one last time.
Miguel Ortiz: Cuando las calles estén cubiertas con tu sangre, simplemente recuerda... tú lo pediste. (When the streets are coated with your blood, just remember...you asked for it.)
With that, Ortiz tossed the mic onto the table with a loud thud and some feedback. Any normal person would have at least grimaced due to the feedback noise, but he didn’t let it bother him as he stared Akane down yet again.
Akane wasn’t phased by the noise either, simply leaning back in her chair with a smile with the final action of hers was putting her feet up on the table. The scene faded away with the two future opponents staring at each other.
