「はなまるぴっぴはよいこだけ」by 石川綾子 (Ayako Ishikawa) hits the arena and the crowd standing on their feets before Maki Megumi walks through the curtains and the crowd giving her a standing ovation as Maki have a huge smile on her face. Before Maki walks to the ramp and gives a high five to the fans before she slides into the ring and receives the microphone from the timekeeper before she walks back to the middle of the ring while her theme slowly fading away. And she does not waste anyone's time as Maki Megumi immediately raises the microphone up.
Maki Megumi: Eden, Eden, Eden... I admit that last week I didn't prepare for you. I didn't know you were going to do that, but you know what? Now I know. And of course, since you have a problem with me, you want to destroy me, any match you have, bring it on the table, Eden, because now I'm ready for you. I've never had a problem with you, even when I was part of Genesis Of Destruction, or with Genesis Of Destruction. Do you know why? Because I saw you as just a pawn of ISIS, and that's all you were. You didn't shine, you didn't shine, and you weren't interesting. But now you've got my attention, but not because you're interesting, but because you hurt me. And of course I won't let you go without getting my revenge on you. And I'm coming out today to tell you that what you did last week will be erased by me. You dared to hurt me last week. Of course I'll hurt you twice as much as I did. So I'm saying this to prepare you for our match, because of course it's far from the end of our story. I don't need an answer from you, because I'm just waiting to face you in the ring, because I want to beat you. Just like I defeated ISIS, and I'll tell you that you don't mean anything here Eden, if you want to prove yourself, but I don't think it's that proud of you that way. So it's almost time for me to take my revenge, and I want to tell you to get ready.
Maki Megumi: When you play with Maki Megumi, I'll show you that you've got the wrong girl, because I'm Megumi, and there's no way I'm going to give up when I don't get what I want. And since you had fun with me last week, this time it's my turn to make you regret what you did to me last week. If you thought what you did last week turned you back into a devil, back into a scary monster, I'll make you wrong. I'll show you that I'm someone you can't surpass, whether in Genesis Of Destruction or even now. I know you'll listen to me so whatever stipulations you want to challenge me, I'll say I accept the challenge. Bring it on Eden and everyone here will see Maki Megumi defeat Eden Sterling and once again Eden Sterling failed like Eden Sterling failed all the time even before Genesis Of Destruction or even in Genesis Of Destruction. And now you think you can fix it by doing something like this? Of course I'll make you regret it for sure. You will suffer the consequences of your actions from last week. That's all I want to say.
Maki Megumi drops the microphone down to the mat while 「はなまるぴっぴはよいこだけ」by 石川綾子 (Ayako Ishikawa) starting to play again before Maki Megumi slides down to the ring and walks to the backstage.

RESULT: PINFALL (STAY ELEVATED)
In a remarkably good mood tonight, Gianna Rojas is smiling as the cameras find her. Stood in that space between catering and where official interviews are conducted she is once again with some sort of beverage in hand, thankfully it has a lid otherwise with her excited gesturing it would probably be all over the wall and her gear as well as the floor.
Gianna Rojas: ¡Hola fanáticos de Zion Wrestling! Tenemos un gran partido esta noche, ¿no? Sin embargo, no tengo miedo ni inquietud al abordar esto. Sin embargo, será una muestra increíble de nuestras habilidades de lucha libre, ¡te lo prometo!!
She takes a few seconds to finish her drink, smacking her lips together and releasing a sigh of happiness before she pitches the empty cup into a nearby trash can. Once that's taken care of she turns her attention back to the camera and smacks her hands together with an excited clap.
Gianna Rojas: Sinceramente, ¡no puedo esperar para empezar! En un negocio como la lucha libre, con tanta gente haciendo ataques furtivos o arruinando combates, cuando tienes la oportunidad de tener algo puro, ¿por qué no divertirte con ello? ¡Espero que mi oponente sienta lo mismo! De cualquier manera, estoy demasiado emocionado como para esperar aquí. ¡Me quedaré esperando junto a la cortina hasta que llegue el momento! ¡Nos vemos pronto!
With that she almost skips away, bouncy and full of energy until the camera can't follow her anymore.
MATCH #2: KING KYOTO VS JESSICA CARTER
King Kyoto doesn’t even bother with Carter much in this match, stepping to the center of the ring with her and immediately swiping her down with a Spinning Back Elbow! She mounts Carter now, coming down on her with Hammer Fists until the referee gets them apart! They check on Carter, looking to see if she’s still able to go in this one! But before a more thorough examination can be made, Kyoto pushes the official out of the way, pulling Carter up before nailing her with a Headbutt! Carter staggers back into the corner, with Kyoto rushing up and connecting with a Corner Splash! Carter slumps to the mat and rolls out of the ring, with Kyoto following her right out!
Kyoto smashes Carter into the ring post, before pushing back into the ring under the bottom rope! She slides in after her, getting her up and dropping her with King Kong’s Bomb (Sit Out Powerbomb)! She gets Carter back up now, holding her in position before nailing her with the Thunder Clap (Spinning Backfist)! Carter goes down like she just got run over with a truck, with Kyoto slumping over her for the pin and three count!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…King! Kyoto!
Amber Westgate: A very brutal debut by The Final Storm!
Adam LaRue: And that could be exactly what lies in the Queen of Strong Style Champion’s future, should a match between them occur!
RESULT: PINFALL (THUNDER CLAP)
“The Reckoning” by Within Temptation sounds throughout the arena as King Kyoto stands tall and triumphant after her match. Grinning sinisterly, she relishes in the boos from the crowd as the referee raises her arm before she yanks it away and feigns a lunge, scaring them away from her.
Amber Westgate: "Truly a dominant force, is King Kyoto!"
Adam LaRue: "Her opponent never had a chance, Amber!"
After soaking in enough of the hate, King Kyoto leaves the ring, dropping down to the floor and begins her walk back up the ramp. The camera stays with her, focused on the Joshi monster’s intense expression as she passes by the jeering fans, ignoring them like insects beneath her feet. It’s only when they start to change their tune that she slows down in her steps. The boos have turned to cheers near the stage as King Kyoto looks around. Eventually, she turns her attention to one side of the crowd where someone comes diving over the barricade and plows right into her, knocking her back!
Adam LaRue: "Amber! What the?!"
Amber Westgate: "Oh my god, Adam!"
“The Reckoning” is abruptly cut off as Zion’s Queen Of Strong Style Champion, Yumi Akiyama rights herself off of the floor, dressed in jeans, sneakers and a cropped t-shirt from her merchandise line. She wastes no time in going right at King Kyoto again and starts letting the punches fly!
Amber Westgate: "Yumi Akiyama’s here!! The champion! She’s back!"
Adam LaRue: "Does she have a deathwish?!"
Amber Westgate: "We haven’t seen nor heard from her since that brutal attack at the hands of King Kyoto but I do believe she’s come to get her some!"
King Kyoto covers up with her arms as Yumi clutches onto the back of her gear, throwing hockey uppercuts before the larger woman shoves her back. Yumi stumbles off balance and King Kyoto rushes in with a Big Boot that takes her down to the ramp! King Kyoto snarls angrily as she storms forward and reaches down to grab Yumi off of the floor but Yumi goes into grounded defense mode and brings up her legs, kicking out at Kyoto until she catches her in the face with a kick. It’s enough to back Kyoto off so Yumi can get up and she comes right at the beast again! Both of them throw punches at each other now as security rushes the scene and pries them apart. Kyoto and Yumi both pull against their human bonds as General Manager of Fusion and CEO of Zion, Kai Morgan, comes storming out, calling for a return to order.
Amber Westgate: "Kai Morgan, trying to restore some order here between these two!"
Adam LaRue: "Thankfully security finally got these two separated!"
Or at least it seems, until Yumi manages to slip free and comes beelining down the ramp towards where Kyoto is being held back. Yumi dives out in a leap of faith as she clears the security holding Kyoto back and lands right on her again, throwing more punches! Kyoto clings at her and fires shots right back from the floor before security rushes in and pulls a kicking and screaming Yumi back off. The rest of the guards have their hands full as Kyoto gets to her feet and starts to charge at Yumi again. Finally, Kai Morgan himself puts himself between the two masses and shouts for the staff to get them out of here separately, but the crowd is screaming “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” The show starts to fade to an advertisement break as the camera cuts back and forth between King Kyoto, staring daggers while Yumi Akiyama screams out at her, ”YOU WANT ME?! I’M RIGHT HERE! I’M! RIGHT! HERE!”
The cameras cut to the locker room, where they catch Bianca Reed rifling through Teresa Morgan’s belongings. Bianca just snorts derisively and continues angrily throwing the National Champion’s stuff out of her locker until she finds what she’s looking for - a gold necklace with a small envelope pendant.
Bianca Reed: Well isn’t this adorable? A little token of admiration from our General Manager and Teresa’s husband, Kai Morgan. So nice of him to mark his favorite, isn’t it?
Raking her free hand back through her hair, Bianca holds the necklace up to the camera and gives a predatory grin.
Bianca Reed: You know what’s also adorable? Teresa Morgan thinking she can just bypass me for the National Championship after just barely surviving a match with me and getting lucky to escape with her title. I’m not waiting at the back of any goddamn line, Teej. I’ll bet your husband gave that ref a nice little bonus for a fast count, too. You think I’m going to sit here and let myself get screwed out of the title that should be mine just because you’re the GM’s cocksleeve? Absolutely the fuck not.
Bianca unclasps the necklace and takes hold of the two ends of the chain, yanking hard and breaking it.
Bianca Reed: The longer I have to wait? The more destruction you have to deal with. I will not stop until I am the goddamn National Champion, and Teresa Morgan goes back to Kai’s bed where she belongs. She’s not good enough to survive me twice and she fucking knows it, so that’s why she’s got her husband ranking me behind Mason goddamn Young of all people. Unfortunately for her though? I’m fucking relentless.
Dropping the broken necklace, Bianca steps on it and grinds it underneath her boot.
Bianca Reed: Let me know when my fucking title match is… champ. Unless you want to see what else I’m willing to break.
With that, Bianca walks out of the locker room, laughing and tossing her hair over her shoulder as the cameras cut elsewhere.
MATCH #3: NAO SAEGUSA VS GIANNA ROJAS
The bell rings, and the two women charge forward, locking up in the center of the ring. Gianna, using her slight height and strength advantage, quickly transitions into a headlock. But Nao is too quick; she ducks and spins behind Gianna, grabbing a waistlock. Gianna rolls forward, flipping Nao over her shoulder, and they both spring back to their feet, locking eyes to an eruption of applause from the crowd. Gianna grins, nodding her respect, and Nao nods back, her face set in determination.
They circle each other, and Gianna makes the first move, launching off the ropes with a spinning headscissors that sends Nao tumbling. Gianna goes for a quick pin attempt, hooking Nao’s leg.
ONE!
But Nao powers out instantly, showing her unbreakable resolve.
The two wrestlers trade lightning-fast offense, each showcasing her unique skills. Gianna takes control with a stunning display of lucha moves—armdrags and ranas that keep Nao grounded. But Nao counters with her own style, leaping over Gianna’s knee strike to land a sharp enzuigiri, sending Gianna staggering.
The fight spills to the outside when Gianna launches herself over the top rope with a breathtaking somersault plancha, crashing down onto Nao and igniting the crowd. Gianna gets to her feet, pumping her fists to fire up the audience even more, then rolls Nao back into the ring. But as Gianna slides under the ropes, an unexpected figure appears at ringside—Yukiko Kusanagi, lurking just out of the referee’s sightline.
As Gianna rises near the ropes, Yukiko reaches up, grabbing her ankle and pulling her off balance. Gianna’s face twists in shock and frustration, but the referee is distracted, oblivious to the interference. Nao, meanwhile, seizes this chance and springs to her feet, ready to shift the momentum.
Nao launches back into action, first landing a Shotei Palm Strike that snaps Gianna’s head back. Gianna stumbles, and Nao follows up with a precise standing dropkick, flooring her opponent. As Gianna pushes herself up, still dazed, Nao races forward and strikes with a vicious Penalty Kick across Gianna’s chest, the sound of the impact echoing through the arena.
With the crowd buzzing, Nao points to the top turnbuckle, signaling the end. She ascends to the top rope, balancing herself as she prepares for her finisher, the “Justice Crash.” She steadies her breath and then leaps, twisting in midair for a perfect Phoenix Splash, crashing down onto Gianna. The referee slides into position, and the crowd holds its breath.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings, and the audience explodes as Nao’s hand is raised in victory. While some fans notice Yukiko’s interference, Nao remains unaware, basking in her hard-fought win. Gianna lies on the mat, disappointment flickering in her eyes as she realizes the nature of her loss. Yet, as she watches Nao celebrate, she nods to herself, determination clear—this won’t be the last chapter in her story. Nao raises her fist high, the oblivious yet triumphant hero, while Yukiko’s interference plants the seeds for the rivalry's next phase.
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner…NAAAAAAOOOOO SAAAAEEEEEGUUUUUSAAAAAA!!
Amber Westgate: What the hell was Yukiko Kusanagi doing out here?!
Adam LaRue: Your guess is as good as mine Amber! I’m not about to ask her though!
As Nao has her arm raised, oblivious to what exactly happened, Gianna scans the ringside area for Yukiko, finally spotting her in the crowd, watching the activity in the ring with a wicked smile on her face.
RESULT: PINFALL (JUSTICE CRASH)
We cut backstage to the office of Kai Morgan, with the man himself on the phone seemingly with another Zion employee, though it’s hard to tell exactly who.
Kai Morgan: And you’ve got all the pieces to the set ready at the Star Factory, right? Stage, ring aprons, announce table…everything? Good, just make sure the crew is ready to launch on—
Suddenly, Kai is interrupted with a knock at the door, which immediately takes him out of the call. He gets back on the phone.
Kai Morgan: I’ll call you back later, but be sure to send pictures of all the crew’s progress. I want this done before we’re back in Orlando…Alright, bye.
Kai turns to the door.
Kai Morgan: Come on in!
The door opened almost immediately, revealing Kai’s wife and the National Champion, Teresa Morgan. There was an absolute look of fury and hatred on her face as she walked into the office, closing…well rather, almost slamming the door shut behind her. She walked over to his desk, her eyes livid and her hands shaking from anger.
Teresa Morgan: I’ll face St. Croix later. Give me Bianca at Bloodsport, Kai. She can’t get away with what she did earlier!
Kai Morgan: Look, I saw what happened, and I’m just as mad as you are. But I sunk a lot into getting Austin from Katrina. I don’t wanna just pop her off to side, especially if it means going against the rankings.
Teresa let out a groan of frustration before she forced herself to sit in the chair that was across from the desk. She ran a hand through her hair out of frustration before she looked up at him.
Teresa Morgan: I’m not saying I won’t face Austin! You know just as well as anyone else around here that I won’t back down from a fight, but I can’t stand back and let Bianca think I won’t handle her and her shit…especially after her destroying the chain. I know it took you forever to find that for me.
Teresa’s voice softened a touch at the end, not meaning to lose her cool with Kai but dealing with being rightfully pissed off still. Her eyes had softened from the anger that had been burning in them moments before.
Teresa Morgan: When you drafted me to Fusion, I swore to myself that I would never ask you, or even Nova, for a damn thing because I didn’t want anyone on the roster to actually be able to back up the claims I knew would end up coming sooner or later. I will still face Austin, I’m not discrediting her as the rightful contender at all, but Bianca has made it personal at this point. Kai, please…
Kai sits there, conflicted with himself over what to do. His body language seems to show this feeling boiling over until…
Kai Morgan: FINE! Fine…you got your match next week, alright? But if you retain, you’re getting right back at it against Austin the week after. Understand?
Teresa gave him a small yet thankful smile before she nodded.
Teresa Morgan: I understand and would expect nothing less. Whether it’s believed or not, I’ve been looking forward to the potential match that Austin and I can put on. But I have to deal with Bianca…you know I wouldn’t have asked otherwise.
Kai Morgan: Yeah, I know…I get it. Trust me, I do. Look, I’ll talk with you later. Got a feeling I’m about to get a lot of angry phone calls in a minute.
Teresa turns to leave, with Kai sitting back in his chair. He throws his glasses off and onto the desk, taking a deep breath and ruminating over what he has to do as we fade.
MATCH #4: KASEY KASH VS KAYA PARKER
As we tie up, Kasey has a strength advantage, as he shoots behind Kaya to slam her down and ground her. He attempts a crossfire on Parker, though she countered into a schoolgirl pin that Kash immediately kicked out of, though Kaya connected with a stiff thrust kick to make him stagger. She follows up with an enzuigiri to the side of Kasey's head and covers.
PA1ONE…!
TWO…!PA2
Kash kicks out, and Kaya goes to a headlock to keep him grounded. He moved to a seated position, but Parker hit him in the lower back with a knee that caused him to stiffen up. Kaya attempts to choke Kasey out, though he gets her leg and starts to scoop her up as he throws them both into the corner to pry her loose. Kasey would hurl a pair of elbows at Kaya before setting her up on the top rope. He attempted a superplex, though Kaya would gouge at his eyes to cause Kasey to fall back. As he gets up, Kaya would leap off with a diving crossbody, but Kasey rolls through and transitions into a Tombstone Piledriver, with a cover!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Narrow kick out by Kaya, as Kasey would smack the back of her head as she seated up. He pulled her back up for a German Suplex, and planted her. Kasey would try to roll through for a second, though Parker was able to hold onto the rope and pulled him on for a back elbow to break free. Kaya follows up with a springboard cross body to knock him back down. She runs to get some momentum, as Kaya drilled Kasey with the Superknee Slingshot!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kasey barely kicked out in time, as Kaya looked annoyed as she grabbed his hair and slammed the back of his head against the mat in frustration. She is going for the Road to Dead Silence, however, Kasey responded with a couple jabs while on her shoulders, and then countering with a poison-rana. Backing to the corner, he stalked Kaya before connecting with the Head on A Stick and a cover.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Kasey! Kash!
Amber Westgate: Another huge win to get Kasey Kash back on track!
Adam LaRue: A win over a former Gateway Champion is no joke, you know his wife-to-be is one of those!
Amber Westgate: And just like he’s in love with her, I’m sure Kasey is also in love with the fact that he has yet to be pinned in singles competition since his return to Zion!
Kash stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (JUST A FUCKING HEAD ON A STICK)
::
Fusion cuts backstage to Amy Porter, a nervous smile on her face, clearly wanting to be anywhere but where she is right now.
Amy Porter: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Friday Night Fusion. My guests at this time are Katie Simmons and the Zion Wrestling Hardcore Champion, Damian Simmons.
Katie appears first, dressed in an all-black outfit with black lace gloves. Following close behind, dressed in his ring gear with his title over his shoulder, is her giant husband Damian. The smaller Simmons gives a wicked grin.
Katie Simmons: Hi Amy, how are you?
Amy swallows hard before responding.
Amy Porter: I’m good, I’m good… Um, first off, I want to ask about what happened last week. Between you, Damian and Jessi Ozborne.
Damian just exhales loudly in response.
Amy Porter: Many are wondering, why? Why go after Ozborne specifically?
Porter raises the mic up to Damian’s level but her arm is quickly lowered by the much shorter Katie.
Katie Simmons: The why is very simple. It’s the ‘who’ that needs to be discussed. See, it appears that our great general manager, Kai Morgan, thinks this is a game. He thinks he’s playing a game with Damian. How far can he push Damian before he pushes back… Well, he pushed back. You can’t blame Damian for what happened to little Jessi. Damian was very clear with him.
Amy Porter: So… You’re blaming Mr. Morgan?
Katie Simmons: Of course I am. My husband gave fair warning. Give him what he wants and there’s no problem. But he chose to ignore the warning. And now his friends are getting hurt. Jessi wants to blame Damian, which is fair. But she should be upset at the true villain here. The man who caused her pain due to his inaction.
Porter nods along, clearly trying to not set the couple off.
Amy Porter: Well, at least now Mr. Morgan has listened to you. You’ve got a match with-
Katie quickly cuts her off.
Katie Simmons: Diamond Steele, yes. It’s about time the GM books his most dominant champion. But it’s too late now. Damian is angry.
Amy Porter: Isn’t he always angry?
Katie Simmons: Shut up.
Amy Porter: Okay.
Katie Simmons: Damian is angry and now Kai has put poor Diamond into harm's way. Just because Damian took little Jessi out doesn’t mean he’s satiated. It will take a lot to undo the rage that my husband has built up thanks to Morgan. Now he’s going to break Jessi and Steele and anyone else that gets in the way. Our hardcore championship is going to stay on Damian’s shoulder where it belongs. Whether that be because he runs through any opponent or he’s never booked to defend it, I can’t say for sure. But I can promise Damian here will do everything in his power to live up to the title, sanctioned or not.
Amy continues to nod along until she’s sure Simmons is finished.
Amy Porter: Well, it sounds like you’ve got it all figured out! I’d like to thank you both for your-
Katie Simmons: Oh, one more thing.
Katie once again pulls Amy’s arm so the mic is directed at her.
Katie Simmons: Jessi, I’d like to wish you a speedy recovery. Hopefully Damian knocked some sense into you so you know who the real enemy is. Diamond, I want you to know that whatever happens to you isn’t personal. You’re just collateral damage.
Katie takes a deep breath, smiling that wicked smile again.
Katie Simmons: Mr. Kai… If you really want to find the person responsible for all the trouble Damian is causing… you need only look into a mirror.
Katie’s smile falls into a scowl as she gives a small wave before turning and walking out of the shot. Porter shares an awkward look with the Hardcore Champion, who stares back with an icy glare.
Amy Porter: Um… hi.
Damian just exhales angrily and walks off in the same direction as his wife.
Amy Porter: …Back to you guys.
MATCH #5: DAMIAN SIMMONS VS DIAMOND STEELE
NON-TITLE MATCH
The Coliseo de la Ciudad Deportiva is filled to capacity, and the fans are already on edge as Diamond Steele and Damian Simmons stand across the ring from each other. The size difference is shocking; Damian, "The Colossus," towers over the five-foot-two Diamond, casting an imposing shadow as he stares her down. Diamond, however, is undeterred, staring right back at him with defiant energy. The crowd roars as the bell rings, and both competitors lunge into action.
Diamond is the first to move, darting in with a quick spinning heel kick that catches Damian on the jaw. The blow barely phases the massive Simmons, who simply smirks as he shakes off the impact. Diamond stays on the offensive, her agility on full display as she springs off the ropes, this time hitting a flying crossbody. But Damian catches her midair, smirking as he effortlessly turns her momentum against her and slams her down with a punishing backbreaker. Diamond cries out in pain as Damian drops her unceremoniously to the mat.
Damian stalks around her, barely giving her a chance to recover. Diamond rolls away and gets to her feet, grimacing, but she doesn’t let up. She uses her speed to stay out of his reach, landing quick, sharp kicks to his knees and sides. Damian swings his arm to swat her away, but she ducks, rolling beneath his grasp and hitting a series of rapid-fire martial arts kicks. This time, Damian stumbles back a step, clearly annoyed by her persistence.
With a determined look, Diamond charges forward, leaping up for a tornado DDT. She manages to grab hold of Damian's head and spins around, but he halts her momentum, lifting her up with brutal strength and driving her down into the mat with a spinebuster that leaves her gasping for air. Damian goes for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Diamond kicks out, showing her resilience. Simmons glares down at her, a glint of irritation in his eyes as he grabs her by the hair and pulls her to her feet. He hoists her up for a vertical suplex, holding her aloft with ease, the crowd murmuring in awe at his raw power. But just as he’s about to drop her, Diamond squirms and manages to slip out, landing on her feet behind him. She wastes no time, catching Damian off guard with a dropkick to the back of his knee, forcing him to one knee.
Sensing an opportunity, Diamond bounces off the ropes and goes for a running crossbody again. This time she connects, managing to bring Damian down, and quickly rolls him into a submission hold—the Shipwrecked seated Fujiwara armbar. She wrenches back as hard as she can, trying to keep the giant grounded.
Damian’s face contorts with pain, but he refuses to submit. With a bellow of rage, he powers up, using his free arm to lift Diamond right off the mat, breaking the hold and tossing her back-first into the turnbuckle. Diamond slumps against the ropes, clearly feeling the effects of the brutal impact.
Damian approaches, setting her up for his signature Hellfire chokeslam. He wraps his hand around her throat, lifting her high into the air before slamming her down onto his knee for a reverse chokeslam backbreaker. Diamond crumples to the mat, gasping in pain as Damian goes for another cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Diamond throws her shoulder up at the last moment, igniting a cheer from the crowd. Frustrated, Damian stands up, his expression darkening. Katie, at ringside, shouts encouragement to her husband, reminding him to finish the match.
Damian hauls Diamond up, tossing her into the ropes with ease. As she rebounds, he catches her and hoists her up for the Bad Beat sideslam backbreaker, but Diamond manages to counter mid-air, hooking his arm and transitioning into a Fujiwara armbar as she lands. The crowd erupts, sensing a potential comeback.
Diamond wrenches Damian’s arm, straining with every ounce of strength in her smaller frame. Damian grimaces, his teeth bared, but once again powers out, standing up with Diamond clinging to his arm before shaking her off and delivering a brutal short-arm clothesline that nearly flips her in midair.
Realizing she’s worn out his patience, Damian decides to end it. He lifts Diamond onto his shoulders, setting her up for his ultimate move—the Sky Burial powerbomb. He lifts her high and then slams her down with devastating force. The crowd gasps as he doesn’t stop, lifting her up for a second Sky Burial and crashing her down once again. Finally, Damian drags Diamond up one last time, his expression cold and unyielding, and executes a third Sky Burial, leaving her motionless on the mat.
Damian drops down, covering her and pressing his forearm across her face as the referee counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner…the Zion Wrestling Hardcore Champion…DAAAAMIIIIIAAAAAN SIMMMMMMOOOOONNNNNS!
Amber Westgate: Another brutal display by the Hardcore Champion! It’s clear he’s no longer messing around!
Adam LaRue: It was made clear! Damian Simmons can and will go through anyone in his way!
Damian and Katie stand tall in the middle of the ring, with the champion having his belt strapped around his waist! A camera shoots them from the side, with a cameraman inside the ring covered in dark clothing!
Amber Westgate: That cameraman’s getting a bit close, isn’t he?
Adam LaRue: He’s a brave soul for even wanting to step into the ring with Damian Simmons let alone get close to him!
The cameraman makes his way around Simmons, shooting him from all angles! He eventually gets behind him, but before we can cut away, the cameraman lunges at Simmons, nailing him with a shot to the back with the camera he’s holding!
Amber Westgate: WHAT THE HELL?!
The cameraman drops the camera on the mat, taking off the layers of dark clothing to reveal they’re actually Jessi Ozborne!
Adam LaRue: I shoulda known that person that was too short to be a cam-op!
Amber Westgate: Should Jessi even be doing this given her injuries from the past week?!
Adam LaRue: Hate is a hell of a healer, Amber!
Jessi, taped up on her head and extra braced on her knees, looks down at Damian with a wicked smile, before grabbing the camera up and nailing him over the head with it! She looks to attack again, but just then her knees buckle, with the World’s Finest having to sit back in the corner as she can barely stand due to her injuries! Damian has an opening to go after her now, looking to pull her out of the corner! But Ozborne quickly retaliates, getting leg up and nailing Damian with a kick to the groin! She grabs the camera again, hitting Damian across the back with it so hard it snaps in half!
Amber Westgate: JESUS!
Adam LaRue: Hurt or not…WISE or not…Jessi Ozborne is determined to, as she puts it, “get her lick back”!
Damian rolls out of the ring, looking up at Ozborne as he reassembles with his wife!
Amber Westgate: But look at that, Adam! After all that, Damian Simmons is already back up! It’s gonna take a lot to put The Juggernaut down, the only question now is…is Ozborne in any condition to do what it takes?
Jessi stands tall, eventually falling back to a seated position on the mat to rest as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (SKY BURIAL)
The footage begins to roll, picking up on the inside of Ricky Rodriguez’s locker room. Strobe lights flickered in various colors while dance music pumped in through speakers placed in the corners of the room. In the middle of the room, there was a rather large bowl of candy with Ricky Rodriguez and Madilyn McNamara seated across from one another, the bowl between them. The pair were clearly elevated out of their mind but having a really good time.
Madi grabbed a piece from that bowl, quickly unwrapping it and tossing the wrapper to the side. Ricky tilted his head back slightly as Madi lined up and tossed the candy, successfully landing it in Ricky’s open mouth.
She nearly jumped off of that floor, clapping her hands in excitement. Chewing on that candy, Ricky was just as excited that she made it. It was his turn now, grabbing up a piece and unwrapping it. Madi got into position and Ricky tossed it, landing right into her opened mouth.
His excitement matched hers, the two celebrating their good shots. It lasted until they caught sight of the man holding the camera. Ricky grabbed a remote, using it to turn the music down a considerable bit.
Ricky Rodriguez: ‘Oh shit, I totallyy forgot I asked for time.’
He covered his mouth, Madi laughing aloud at the gesture. Ricky cleared his throat, straightening up a bit, in order to present a bit of professionalism.
Ricky Rodriguez: ‘Alright alright alright.’
He briefly paused, trying to get his thoughts together. Finding that train of thought, it was like the light bulb lit up above his head.
Ricky Rodriguez: ‘Ima make this short and sweet cause we're kinda in the middle of somethin here. Last week, I cleared the one obstacle standin between me and a shot at Kaitlin Williams. I'm now officially the top ranked in this whole ass division and there ain't a damn thing you can say bout it. All that's left is to make it official.
I'm comin for my shot against you. I'm comin to take every last word you threw at me..and shove’em down your throat. See, that's why they say keep your words soft and sweet cause when I get you in that ring? I'm bouta makedamnsure you choke on’em, Kait.’
Ricky reached into that bowl, grabbing out another piece of candy. Tearing it open, he tossed it up, catching it as it fell, doing the same a few more times as he continued on.
Ricky Rodriguez: ‘This is exactly what I came back for, an opportunity like this. I told you, I'm gonna be the one that wins that off of you and now? It's time for me to back that up and that's exactly what Ima do.
I'll be seein ya, Kait.’
Shooting a wink, Ricky turned his attention back to Madi only to toss that piece of candy. Rather than landing in her mouth, it landed flush in her cleavage. He couldn't help but to gasp out, laughing as he did.
Ricky Rodriguez: ‘Time to dive!’
He damn near lunges at Madi, the two of them laughing out as the scene cut away.
MATCH #6: SAVANNAH GUNN VS AARON ASPHYXIA
FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE SEMIFINAL MATCH
The bell rings, and both wrestlers circle each other cautiously. Savannah wastes no time, lunging forward, looking for an early advantage with a stiff European uppercut, but Aaron ducks it and answers with a sharp Gamengiri to Savannah’s shoulder. Savannah stumbles back, surprised, but quickly resets and counters with a basement dropkick, sending Aaron sprawling. The “Transglobal Spectacle” springs back to her feet and charges, only to be caught by a quick snap suplex from Savannah that rattles the mat.
Savannah rolls to her feet, throwing her arms up as she paces, exuding energy. Aaron smirks through the slight grimace, and with a shake of her head, she springs forward, catching Savannah with a double knee facebreaker that takes her down! Aaron follows up, wasting no time as she transitions into a brutal camel clutch—her "Choke On This" signature move. She wrenches Savannah’s head back, taunting her, but Savannah claws her way to the ropes, grabbing the bottom one to force a break.
Savannah winces, rubbing her neck, but the defiance in her eyes is unmistakable. She quickly closes the gap, catching Aaron with a clothesline that sends her reeling back. She follows up with a series of knife-edge chops to Aaron’s chest, each one echoing around the arena. Savannah Irish whips Aaron into the corner and charges in with a high knee to the face! The impact shakes Aaron, who slumps slightly against the turnbuckle. Sensing her advantage, Savannah hoists her up for a powerbomb, but Aaron slips out mid-move, countering with a sunset flip into a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout! Savannah powers out, scrambling back to her feet as Aaron rolls away, frustration already creeping onto her face.
Aaron snarls and springs up onto the ropes, looking for a corkscrew 620 senton. She launches herself, flipping through the air with breathtaking precision, but Savannah rolls out of the way just in time! Aaron crashes hard onto the mat, her face contorting with pain, and Savannah capitalizes with a quick German suplex, followed by a standing moonsault that gets the crowd roaring.
Savannah covers!
ONE!
TWO!
Aaron kicks out, but the impact has left her shaken. Not to be deterred, she throws herself forward, hitting a desperation step-up enzuigiri that catches Savannah on the side of the head, sending her down to one knee. Aaron seizes the opening, leaping onto Savannah and locking in a Sleeper Hold—a brutal variant of her “Asphyxiate” submission. She wrenches back, her forearm pressing against Savannah's throat, trying to drain the fight out of her.
But Savannah rallies, the crowd urging her on as she powers her way back to her feet. With a burst of energy, she slams Aaron backward into the corner, breaking the hold. Aaron stumbles out, dazed, and Savannah capitalizes with a reverse brainbuster that sends Aaron sprawling across the mat.
Sensing the end, Savannah pulls Aaron up, positioning her for the “Gunnshot.” The crowd is on its feet as she hooks Aaron’s neck, swinging her down into the devastating leg hook swinging neckbreaker!
Aaron’s body crashes to the mat, and Savannah goes for the pin, hooking the leg.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings, and Savannah Gunn has won the match! She rises to her feet, triumphant, raising her fists as the crowd erupts in cheers and applause. Aaron Asphyxia rolls out of the ring, holding her neck, casting one last glare back at Savannah before stalking away.
Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner…SAAAAAAVANNAAAAH…GUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!
Amber Westgate: Savannah Gunn gets the win, and she moves on to this Monday, where she takes on Olly in the Fight For The Future Final!
Adam LaRue: Olly has proven himself as a savage new addition to the red brand! With so little time to prepare, will Gunn be able to make it past him?
RESULT: PINFALL (GUNNSHOT)[
The Fusion cameras approach a wrestler from behind as they warm up. As they stretch, they turn around to reveal themselves as Alexis Lemon. She’s dressed in her Art The Clown inspired ring gear, complete with a little hat. When her eyes catch the camera on her, she gives a little smirk.
Alexis Lemon: Oh, hello. I know, right? Who did I have to buddy up with to get a main event as my very first match back in the company? I can’t tell you, but it does rhyme with Pullverine…
There’s a moment of silence before Lexi bursts into giggles
Alexis Lemon: Kidding. No, unlike a lot of people in this company, I don’t need to be friends with the boss to get a primo spot. I just need to be interesting. I just need people to want to see me and pay good money for it. In other words… I just need to be me.
Lexi continues to stretch as she chuckles.
Alexis Lemon: So my first match back is Hana Megumi. Fantastic. Hana, lemme be real with you. I don’t have an issue with you. I’m well aware this match is just a trap for me to be in one place so Nadia Allen can get me back for two weeks ago. In fact, I actually feel bad for you. They’re treating you as nothing more than a pawn. They’re using you to distract me so they can get their pound of flesh.
Lexi grabs her comically tiny hat and puts it on her head, letting the elastic string snap against her chin.
Alexis Lemon: Don’t think I’m gonna take pity on you, though. I’m here for a reason and I’m not going to let myself get distracted. I’ll deal with you, I’ll deal with any interference if and when it comes. And in the end of it all, I’ll prove that I’m stronger on my own than I ever was with the backing of a faction that never cared about me. And if I need to go through you to do that, I’m going to.
Lexi turns her back to the camera before calling over her shoulder
Alexis Lemon: I’ll see you out there.
She begins walking towards the curtain for her match.
The arena goes dark suddenly, as the low, grungy guitar riff of Scroobius Pip's "Let 'Em Come" starts to fill the arena. An array of different colored lights start to swirl through the arena, lighting up different sections of the audience for a moment before moving right along to somewhere else. A few seconds pass, and it's only when the singer speaks up that the curtain is pushed aside, and Kaitlin Williams comes pushing through, immediately spreading her arms out wide, a sly little smile on her face as she glances out into the arena. She holds her spot in the center of the stage, brushing either side of her jacket aside and showing off her title around her waist. With a single pull, she unstraps the belt and raises it up over her head, grinning out into the crowd as she gives them their moment of attention--a grin that only gets wider as the fans express their disdain for the so-called Crown Jewel.
Darrion Hughes: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome! The Crown Jewel of Professional Wrestling, and the Zion Wrestling WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!”
Kaitlin slings her title over her shoulder and more saunters down the ring, not even so much as looking at the fans anymore; a smug little smirk rises on her face as she hears some of the disdain the front-row fans send her, but she only stop at the foot of the ramp, giving the faceplate of her title a couple pats.
Darrion Hughes: “KAITLIN WILLIAMS!”
At her own pace, Kate eventually reaches the ring steps, pausing with one boot on the bottom step, closing her eyes for just a second before quickly jogging up onto the apron, casually wiping the soles of her boots off before spinning around to face the crowd--if only to smirk a little bit and raise her title again, as a shower of boos rain down on her. She chuckles a little, spinning to step into the ring, crossing all the way to the far side and raising the belt up once more, almost basking in the jeers and hatred of the fans. She snatches the mic out of Darrion’s hand, smirking as she looks out into the audience for a moment.
Kaitlin Williams: “It’s...almost funny, how people are desperate to find someone that can compete with me. They’re desperate to convince everyone that steps up to me, everyone that steps in the ring with me, that they’re the one that’s going to humble me, they’re the one that’s going to prove something, they’re the one...that’s going to stop me. The desperation to find someone, anyone, that can actually slow me down is hilarious...especially now. Especially now, that we’ve resorted to people like Ricky fuckin’ Rodriguez, scurrying back to Zion all puffed up and full’a bravado when I’ve just finished a match.”
The fans cheer when Kaitlin mentions Ricky’s name, and she even gestures for them to get louder.
Kaitlin Williams: “Yeah, cheer for him, let’s fuckin’ hear it!”
And the fans actually oblige the Crown Jewel, getting louder and louder, a budding “RI-CKY! RI-CKY!” chant starting to fill the room. Kaitlin...even starts smiling as it happens.
Kaitlin Williams: “Cheer for him--because when I’m done with him, there won’t be anything left to cheer.”
And just like that, the cheering turns to boos once again.
Kaitlin Williams: “You people...that are telling him he’s ready, that are telling him he’s a threat to me, that are filling his head...with delusions of grandeur, you’re going to get him hurt. You’re telling him everything he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear, and what someone, ANYONE, who cares about him should be telling him...is that, if there’s one person you don’t want to step up to, it’s Kaitlin fucking Williams. If there was anyone in this company, anyone in wrestling, that actually cared about Ricky Rodriguez, they’d look at the last eighteen months of this place...and they’d see that only three people have actually managed to beat me, and none of them could do it again. You have to be at your best, at the perfect time, to even compete with me, let alone steal a fucking win...and if there was anyone who actually cared about him, they’d tell him that.
Kaitlin Williams: “But apparently...there isn’t, and that’s a goddamn shame for you, Ricky. Because coming back all puffed up and squeaking past one of the Megumis doesn’t put you on my level, winning one match back under the Zion Umbrella...doesn’t make you number one, it just fast-tracks you to getting your ass beat. These people, these people that cheer your name, that are begging you to be the one to take this away from me?”
Kaitlin raises the World Championship into the air, to the disdain of the Havana faithful.
Kaitlin Williams: “These people don’t care about you, Ricky. They don’t care about your health, they don’t care about your career, they don’t care...about your well-being after our match is done, they’re just hoping you can do what Majors couldn’t, what Dorsey couldn’t, what Rojas couldn’t, what nobody has really been able to do...and that’s find a way to stop me. They don’t care about what I’m going to do to you, they don’t care how much you’re going to suffer once that bell rings, the SMARTEST THING YOU COULD DO...is walk away. The smartest thing you could do is realize you picked the wrong fight...go join a different brand. Go step up to Carbajal’s insecure ass, go stare down Slayton, go do...anything...except risk your well-being, by getting in my face again.”
The “RI-CKY! RI-CKY!” chant starts back up, as Kaitlin slings the title over her shoulder again--and, suddenly, the Crown Jewel turns her attention to the fans.
Kaitlin Williams: “You people...are leading a lamb to slaughter. You know everything I said is right, but you’re still encouraging him--but if that’s what all you people want? If what you want is to see Ricky Rodriguez sent back out of Zion as quickly as he showed up? If what you want is to see just how much I can fuck up this boy who thinks a couple tag title reigns are the same as what I’ve been doing for the last eighteen months here? Then I’ll be happy to oblige. Next Friday, at Bloodsport, Ricky Rodriguez gets a crash course in the reality of being a member of the Fusion Roster--hell, of being a member of the Zion Roster--really means...
Kaitlin Williams: “You’ll make the mistake of stepping up to the Crown...”
Kaitlin smirks a little, moving toward the camera, leaning over the ropes before spitting out her usual catchphrase, with a little more venom than normal.
Kaitlin Williams: “And...you’ll...BOW!”
Scroobius Pip’s “Let ‘Em Come” kicks back up as Kaitlin discards the mic, climbing out of the ring and backing up the ramp, beckoning the hatred that she’s receiving from the fans--who respond in kind, more than a couple throwing popcorn and soda at the World Champion before she gets back behind the curtain and we cut to the announce table.
Amber Westgate: A bold proclamation by the World Heavyweight Champion ahead of next week! Speaking of next week, Fusion: Bloodsport IV comes to live from this very arena and it is packed to the gills with action!

MAIN EVENT: HANA MEGUMI VS ALEXIS LEMON
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…from Fukuoka, Japan…weighing in at 143 lbs…Hana! Megumi!
And her opponent…from Avatar Country…weighing in at 125 lbs…Alexis! Lemon!
Amber Westgate: Hana Megumi cares very little for the Queens of Chaos, much less this one woman crusade Alexis Lemon has against them! Yet she’s still willing to fight for Nadia Allen tonight! Is there any reason why that could be, Adam?
Adam LaRue: This new union between her and Nadia Allen just started, and by the looks of things, their main priority is success over all! Hana Megumi recognizes that this partnership can’t be successful if the things that Alexis Lemon promises come to fruition! Therefore, it’s in her best interest to get Lemon out of the picture ASAP!
Lemon and Megumi shuffle the ring around each other to start this match, with the former’s approach being a lot cockier than usual! It seems as though they’re about to go in for a lock up, only for Megumi to be the one to take Lemon by surprise, unloading with a huge slap across her face! Lemon’s gleeful expression turns to silent seething as she stands there registering the attack! All the while, Megumi talks trash to her, no doubt reprimanding her for her actions against Nadia Allen weeks before! Lemon turns back around nodding her head and circling the ring again! She puts a hand up, looking to initiate a Test of Strength! Megumi grabs the hand, but before she can go for another, Lemon wrenches the arm! She follows up immediately, nailing Megumi across the head with a Forearm that sends her stumbling to the mat! Lemon steps back a bit, seemingly trying to give Megumi some breathing room! But this is far from the case, with Lemon instead running back to nail Megumi with a Punt Kick to the midsection! She covers!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Megumi! Lemon pulls Megumi back to her feet, uncorking a Knee Strike right into her midsection that sends her staggering back into the corner! Lemon sees an opportunity here, running to the opposite corner of the ring and coming back for a Hip Attack! But Lemon turns around too soon, with Megumi able to take advantage as she catches Lemon around the waist and drops her against the bottom turnbuckle with a German Suplex! She grabs Lemon by the arm now, pulling her up and right into a Saito Suplex! She goes to the second rope now, launching off and connecting with a Diving Senton! Megumi with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Lemon! Megumi doesn’t waste time, grabbing Lemon’s arms before proceeding to repeatedly stomp her head into the mat! With Lemon completely defenseless, the referee has to step in and break it up before serious damage can be done! Megumi stands back as the official checks on Lemon! They don’t get to finish however, with Megumi grabbing Lemon’s arms once again! She stands, soaking in the positive reactions of the fans before looking for round two! But Lemon doesn’t let that happen, quickly reversing with a Drop Toe Hold! She gets right on top of Megumi, pulling her up and looking for a Deadlift German Suplex! But Megumi reverses with an Elbow, getting around Lemon for a Waistlock of her own! She gets a hand around her wrist, pulling her in for a Ripcord! But Lemon reverses, catching Megumi at the other end with a Knee Strike! Megumi hunches over off the move, with Lemon looking for the ropes! Megumi doesn’t let her get far however, grabbing her by the tights and pulling her in for a Back Suplex! But Lemon lands on her feet instead, jumping right back up to nail Megumi with a Backstabber!
Megumi rolls out of the ring to catch a breather, with Lemon seeing an opportunity to go high! She hits the ropes, looking for a dive to the outside, but it’s at that point that Allen comes into play here, not being able to help herself in standing between Lemon and Megumi! Lemon laughs at this, seemingly wanting for Allen to step up to fight her! She relishes in this moment, knowing that Allen either won’t lay a hand on her, lest she give her the win by DQ! Eventually, Megumi stands up for herself, pushing Allen out of the way and climbing up to the apron herself! Lemon catches Megumi with a Roundhouse Kick over the ropes, before pulling her through for a Rope Hung DDT! But Megumi reverses, slipping off the ropes and lifting Lemon up for a Stun Gun! Lemon staggers now, with Megumi getting her up and dropping her with a G2S! Pin by Megumi!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Kick out by Lemon! Megumi gets her up, looking to take her down with the Blade Stopper! But Lemon ducks the Rainmaker Lariat attempt, pushing Megumi from behind into the corner! She quickly capitalizes with a Roll Up!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Megumi! She quickly rolls to her feet, sending Lemon rocketing into the corner with a Shotgun Dropkick! She pounces on Lemon now, nailing her with strikes to the head until the referee breaks it up! As the referee is scolding Megumi for her actions, Lemon decides to get crafty, untying the top turnbuckle pad before throwing it out at ringside! Megumi goes past the referee and pulls Lemon up again, but before she can make another move, Allen scrambles onto the apron to get the referee’s attention, calling it towards the turnbuckle Lemon just removed! This distracts the official, but it worst of all distracts Megumi, leaving an opening for Lemon to push her away before spraying a Lemon Juice Mist right into her eyes! She gets Megumi into position now, taking her to the mat with a Lemon Drop! Double Underhook DDT connects! Pin by Lemon!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Alexis! Lemon!
Amber Westgate: Alexis Lemon gets the win in her return match, and it was in part thanks to Nadia Allen!
Adam LaRue: And you know that part of things has to sting most of all! Allen was out here to make sure that no funny business took place tonight, and she played right into Lemon’s hand instead!
Lemon stands tall, with Allen on the outside trying her best to hold it together! Lemon catches a glimpse of this, deciding to goad Allen even further, telling her she’s right here and ready for the taking! Allen doesn’t go for it, however, not wanting to prove Lemon’s point from earlier in the night! Lemon decides to up the ante as a result, beginning to pull Megumi to her feet by the hair! That’s when Allen springs to action, not even entertaining the notion of Lemon doing her partner more damage!
Amber Westgate: That got Allen right into action!
Adam LaRue: She already cost Hana Megumi the match! I don’t think she was willing to be the reason she took another beating to boot!
Allen slides into the ring, with Lemon getting the jump on her with a few stomps to the back! Lemon pulls Allen up, looking for another move! But Allen fights back, swatting Lemon’s hands away before driving her skull right into her with a Headbutt! Lemon is knocked loopy, with Allen getting her in position before dropping her with the Deathplex! Lemon rolls out of the ring, with Allen standing tall!
Amber Westgate: If nothing else that Alexis Lemon has done throughout the weeks has gotten Nadia Allen’s attention, that certainly did!
Adam LaRue: And she may have just learned, the last person in the world whose attention you wanna have is Nadia Allen’s! Could we see this same vision repeated next week?
Allen stands tall, with Lemon backing up the ramp, a look of worry crossing her face as we fade to black!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…from Fukuoka, Japan…weighing in at 143 lbs…Hana! Megumi!
And her opponent…from Avatar Country…weighing in at 125 lbs…Alexis! Lemon!
Amber Westgate: Hana Megumi cares very little for the Queens of Chaos, much less this one woman crusade Alexis Lemon has against them! Yet she’s still willing to fight for Nadia Allen tonight! Is there any reason why that could be, Adam?

Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Alexis! Lemon!
Amber Westgate: Alexis Lemon gets the win in her return match, and it was in part thanks to Nadia Allen!
Adam LaRue: And you know that part of things has to sting most of all! Allen was out here to make sure that no funny business took place tonight, and she played right into Lemon’s hand instead!
Lemon stands tall, with Allen on the outside trying her best to hold it together! Lemon catches a glimpse of this, deciding to goad Allen even further, telling her she’s right here and ready for the taking! Allen doesn’t go for it, however, not wanting to prove Lemon’s point from earlier in the night! Lemon decides to up the ante as a result, beginning to pull Megumi to her feet by the hair! That’s when Allen springs to action, not even entertaining the notion of Lemon doing her partner more damage!
Amber Westgate: That got Allen right into action!

Adam LaRue: And she may have just learned, the last person in the world whose attention you wanna have is Nadia Allen’s! Could we see this same vision repeated next week?
Allen stands tall, with Lemon backing up the ramp, a look of worry crossing her face as we fade to black!
