We cut to the inside of the ring where we find Eduardo Gutiérrez standing in the center with a microphone in hand as “Chin Check” by N.W.A is playing over the PA system. The fans boo the young Spaniard heavily as he slowly raises the microphone up to his lips as “Chin Check” fades out.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Ayo check it!
The booing gets louder.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Last week… history was made! History was made when mi hermano, Miguel Ortiz completed the trifecta!
The fans now start a “Fuck you, Ed!” chant which gets a smirk and a shrug from Gutiérrez.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: So ladies and gentlemen! Please give it up for the greatest faction in Zion history! Mi Mamacita of Mayhem… and Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara Carbajal! Mi hermano… the Gatekeeper and Endurance Champion, Zach Porter! And mi hermano… the Mauler and THE NEW Internet Champion, Miguel Ortiz! THE VOID!
E-C-E motions to the stage as “Through The Never” by Metallica begins to play over the PA system as first Kara “Killer” Carbajal walks out and stops in the center of the stage with her championship in her right hand. Then Zachary Porter and Miguel Ortiz walk out and stop either side of Carbajal, also holding their championships in their right hands. The three of them all raise their titles high above their heads while letting out guttural roars before then making their way down the ramp.
Winter Mae: Well this was a sight that we never thought we would see, Kyle.
Kyle Cassidy: Speak for yourself, Winter! The Void have been saying it for nearly two years now that they are the most dominant force in Zion! That they run this bitch! And now?! Nobody can dispute it!
Once they reach the bottom of the ramp, Carbajal swiftly slides under the bottom rope and into the ring while Ortiz pulls himself up onto the apron by the ropes as Porter makes his way up the steel steps. Porter and Ortiz then climb through the ropes and into the ring as they along with Carbajal grab a microphone each as “Through The Never” fades out.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I told you all! WE told you all! For nearly two years we’ve been telling you all that WE are the most dominant force in this company! That we run this bitch! And of course… you all refused to accept it! You all refused to believe it! But now?!
She glances over to Ortiz and then to Porter before turning her focus back to the camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Now! Whether you like it or not! You all have no choice but to accept and believe it to be true! Because WE now hold ALL of the power!
Carbajal, Ortiz and Porter once again all raise their championships up above their heads in unison.
Zachary Porter: We stated from day one WE run this company. Did any of you believe us? Nah. You made fun of my struggles. You disparaged Miguel. You questioned KC’s credibility. All these groups like G.O.D, where are they now, huh? Ate each other alive. The Purge? Who really gives a damn about them? We are once again in the monthly Queens of Chaos in shambles cycle. Feels like at least one member of their little group comes back to air their grievances. Have we eaten each other alive? Nah. Have we turned on each other? Nah. We are the lone constant on Mayhem. Spoiler alert, the rest of this year and 2025 will be more of the same. Enough about that. We are here to celebrate the Man of the Hour. Main Event Mauler. And your neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew Internet Champion. ALL RIIIIIIIIIIIIISE and give Miguel Ortiz his flowers.
Miguel smirked and clapped Zach on the shoulder in thanks. He raised the Internet Championship once more before Draping it over his shoulder with a nod.
Miguel Ortiz: It had been far too long since I held singles gold here. I decided a while ago that I was going to rectify it.
Ortiz looked among his Void family with a nod before back towards the crowd and camera.
Miguel Ortiz: Last week, I did just that. The Void was the best around this show as it was. Now? Well now…
Another pause from the Mauler as he looked between Zach and the Endurance Championship on his shoulder then over to KC and the Global Heavyweight Championship that was resting on her shoulder. He tapped the bottom of the microphone handle against the Internet Championship on his shoulder before bringing it back to his lips to continue.
Miguel Ortiz: The proof of our words, of everything we have ever said, just exists even more. Hate us all you want. You will never be as great as us. Simple as that.
With that, “Through the Never” began playing again as the three champions of The Void smirked as the crowd heavily booed and jeered at them. The scene faded out with the three raising their championships once more with Ed hyping them up.
OPENING CONTEST: MORGAN PAYNE VS ALEJANDRO JAVIER RIVERA
WINNER: N/A
RESULT: DOUBLE COUNTOUT
The scene fades into focus and we see Erik Holland standing at a specially designed desk, leaning over an old-school style microphone–one of the gimmicks that looks like a “pill” with a tall microphone stand. The bloodshot eyeball logo that he’s sort of adopted as his own personal insignia is emblazoned on a flag behind him, and what keener pro-wres fans’ eyes would recognize as one half of the ECWF World Tag Team Championships folded expertly on the desk next to his mic. Holland has a sort of cynical grin on his face as he leans over to speak.
“Let me be clear, I am no fan of The Void.”
This is probably not an unpopular sentiment, but Holland IS new around here.
“These guys talk about family, family, family first, they run things, they’re on top, all rise, blah blah blah. Look, I have a found family, morons. I have a found family where my father is a proud United States Marine, my mother was a welder for 15 years, and both of them took a chance on a fucked up young man from Poland who was left to fend for himself by the people who birthed him. Because I was too strange, too much of a handful, too unpredictable, too hard to deal with. I’ve heard it all before. Now, since I’ve gotten into pro wrestling my found family is millions and millions strong all over the world, and it means more to me than a void ever could. I’ve been in the void, and let me tell you; there is nothing cute, or funny, or anything you can sell a t-shirt with about it. So from the start you, “Mauler”, have already pissed me off..”
Holland snarls at the camera over the microphone as the scene’s colors distort, fade, and come back to focus again. As if he’s recording this on a pirate broadcast and the signal is soon to be interrupted.
“Mauler became the Internet Champion because the rest of his stupid little family interfered on his behalf. Point blank period. There is nothing that they should be proud of in regards to that ‘victory’ because they cheated not only the match–they cheated themselves. Mauler experienced a hollow victory–he gained nothing other than temporary possession of the Internet Championship, risked nothing, and it’s sad he does not know the difference. Here’s the deal, though. I have a shot at the Internet Championship on Monday Night Mayhem. Roseau, Dominica, the Caribbean which I haven’t come to in quite some time.”
A proud laugh as he adjusts the microphone in front of him with no small amount of dramatic flair.
“I’m coming to Monday Night Mayhem expecting that these guys are gonna once again interfere on Mauler’s behalf, because that’s all they do. That’s all they got. And before you ask, dear Public, no, I don’t care that the Global Champion is part of this–that supposed to scare me? Me, who has stood up to insurmountable odds time and time again over the course of my career just to send all of you home happy? Bullshit. I don’t fear her either, and if she tries to disrupt my match I’ll flatten her too. The fact is, my time has come and when that bell rings there’s nothing that is going to stop me from becoming the new Internet Champion.”
CUT.
MATCH #2: ERIK HOLLAND VS MIGUEL ORTIZ ©
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Erik Holland and Miguel Ortiz charged at each other with fierce intensity, each determined to establish dominance. Holland opened with a brutal running lariat that nearly took Ortiz’s head off, forcing him into the corner. Without wasting a second, Holland launched a barrage of machine-gun chops, the smacks echoing around the arena as Ortiz winced with each impact. Ortiz fought back, grabbing Holland’s arm and twisting him into a tight wrist lock, showcasing his knack for joint manipulation. Before Holland could counter, Ortiz capitalized with a stinging European uppercut that staggered Holland, sending him retreating. Holland recovered, coming back with a shoulder block that leveled Ortiz, showing he wouldn’t back down easily.
In the second round of exchanges, Ortiz started to take control, his calculated offense wearing down Holland. A precise spinning heel kick to the chest sent Holland reeling, and Ortiz followed up with a half-nelson suplex, planting him squarely on his neck. Holland’s resilience shone through, though, as he clawed his way back up and surprised Ortiz with a snappy spear from out of nowhere, knocking Ortiz back onto the mat. With the momentum shifting again, Holland went for his Butcher’s Hook sleeper hold, trapping Ortiz’s arm and raining down sharp elbow strikes. Ortiz’s face contorted in pain as he struggled, but he managed to power through and force a break, catching Holland with a knee strike to the midsection that doubled him over. Both men were now visibly worn, yet neither seemed close to giving up.
As the match approached its climax, Holland took to the ropes and delivered his “Stain of Mind” top-rope splash, crashing onto Ortiz with his full weight. The impact left Ortiz gasping for air, and gave Holland a chance to attempt his Lament Configuration, trapping Ortiz in a crossface-armbar combination. Ortiz screamed but clawed his way to the ropes to force a break. Once free, he rolled out of the ring to catch his breath, but Holland was relentless, diving off the apron with his Death Blooms diving elbow drop, connecting flush and sending both men crashing to the floor. They struggled back to their feet, the audience buzzing as they sensed the intensity building toward a climax.
Back in the ring, Ortiz found a second wind, and when Holland charged, Ortiz countered with a blistering superkick, followed by a brutal running curb stomp that left Holland dazed. Smelling victory, Ortiz quickly applied a Fujiwara armbar, cranking back viciously as he looked to finish the match with a submission. Holland gritted his teeth, enduring the pain before finally escaping by rolling Ortiz over for a quick pin.
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH—!/b]
With adrenaline pumping, Holland went for his finisher, The Toxic Avenger, lifting Ortiz onto his shoulders. But Ortiz countered, slipping out and catching Holland with a chokeslam that shook the ring. Ortiz seized the moment, hoisting Holland into the air with his Crucifix Powerbomb and slamming him down hard for the decisive pinfall. The referee slid to the mat to make the count once again.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…and STILL the Zion Wrestling INTERNET! CHAMPION!...MIGUEL! ORTIZ!
As Ortiz stood in the ring, exhausted but victorious, he raised the Internet Championship high, basking in the moment. But before he could fully savor his win, Reina Hamada stormed into the ring. In a flash, she blindsided Ortiz with a steel chair to the back, sending him crumbling to his knees. She followed up with a brutal series of strikes, leaving Ortiz sprawled on the mat as she stood over him, casting a defiant glare down at him.
Winter Mae: It looks as though Reina Hamada isn’t letting Miguel Ortiz get away with her title that easily!
Kyle Cassidy: We may see them clash again down the line! The only question is…is that something that Hamada wants…?WINNER: MIGUEL ORTIZ (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: PINFALL (CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB)
The camera cuts from ringside, showing a “Previously Recorded” note in the corner of the screen, as we head to last week’s Fallout episode to find Meliana Rodrigo catching up with Yuna Murakami after her impromptu match with Sofia Hilton to open the show. Yuna, at least at first, doesn’t even seem to notice she’s being followed, so when Meliana catches up with her, there’s a momentary jump from the Bloodstained Artist, but a smile reappears on her face just as quickly.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Oh, gosh, I’m sorry! I just wanted to ask you a couple questions about that match, if that’s okay.”
Yuna nods a little and smiles, pivoting on her heel and even giving the cameraman a little wave--always acknowledge your camerapeople, folks.
Yuna Murakami: “Yes!”
Meliana Rodrigo: “I mean, first off, what an impressive shot! But, what made you answer Sofia’s challenge in the first place?”
Yuna just shrugs a little, not quite seeming to understand why she wouldn’t--and, also, having to take a moment to parse her thoughts into English.
Yuna Murakami: “Don’t like to...sit. Wait. A match, better than no match, no matter who is against.”
Meliana Rodrigo: “I...hm, okay, fair enough. Sofia seemed to have some, uh...issues, let’s say, with it ending as quickly as it did, is that...”
Yuna just smiles, despite having seen Sofia’s protests after the pin was counted.
Yuna Murakami: “Would be more weird if she was happy, but...that, not my concern. She made this challenge, I answer, I won. Not sure what else to say, but...if she has something to prove, we can do it again.”
Meliana Rodrigo: “Obviously, you would’ve preferred to have been in the final for the Fight for the Future tournament, but it wasn’t to be--do you think this kind of win puts you back on the right track?”
Yuna Murakami: “Mm, any win is a good win. This can maybe turn, um...”
Yuna starts talking with her hands a little bit, clearly struggling to find the word she means; she slips back into Japanese, muttering to herself as she starts mimicking a wheel rolling with her hands.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Momentum?”
Meliana knowing what word she needed immediately brings that beaming smile back to Yuna’s face.
Yuna Murakami: “Ah, yes! Momentum! Win can turn that around, maybe. As I say, don’t like to sit and watch, so...hopeful that beating Sofia will mean more chances to compete.”
Meliana Rodrigo: “Well, it certainly can’t hurt your chances to move up the rankings.”
Yuna just nods emphatically, keeping that smile on her face.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Which, speaking of, what are you hoping for? Climb the rankings toward the Endurance Championship, or...?”
Yuna just shrugs, a certain nonchalance in her answer.
Yuna Murakami: “Whatever is next. Can be anyone, can be anywhere, just...do not want to sit and watch, so any match can be next.”
Yuna flashes a peace sign with both hands, before turning to leave with a little bit of a skip in her step, leaving Meliana a little shocked by the abrupt exit of the young Japanese woman. Nonetheless, she shrugs her shoulders and lets the feed cut to black.
MATCH #3: TARYN MATTHEWS VS ALEX ANDREWS
Taryn Matthews and Alex Andrews began with both wrestlers trading holds, each trying to outmaneuver the other. Alex took an early advantage, using her technical prowess to keep Taryn grounded, transitioning from a series of suplexes to a precise Fujiwara Armbar. Taryn winced, struggling against the hold, but managed to maneuver her way to the ropes, forcing the break. As Alex released the armbar, Taryn sprang to her feet and countered with a series of rapid-fire kicks that backed Alex up, before hitting a brutal snapmare neckbreaker—her Broken Star. The crowd roared as Alex clutched her neck in pain, rolling away to regain her bearings.
The match escalated as both women showcased their agility and resilience. Taryn, feeling the momentum, attempted a daring suicide dive, only for Alex to counter mid-air with a fierce leg lariat, leaving Taryn sprawled outside the ring. Alex quickly followed up, dragging Taryn back into the ring and unleashing a devastating Elysium, her signature running bicycle kick, which nearly took Taryn’s head off. Alex covered Taryn for the pin, but Taryn barely managed to kick out, drawing gasps from the audience.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE—!
Refusing to let up, Alex went for a Dawn Breaker, looking to lock in the Haas of Pain, but Taryn fought desperately, using her flexibility to kick Alex off and roll away to safety. The two wrestlers traded brutal strikes and counters, neither one willing to back down. Taryn nailed Alex with a spinebuster and quickly scaled the turnbuckle, aiming for her Never Ending Story, the corkscrew shooting star press. But Alex rolled out of the way at the last second, leaving Taryn to crash onto the mat, the impact echoing throughout the arena. Sensing an opening, Alex hauled Taryn up and delivered a backstabber, her Broken Wings. Taryn’s body snapped back, and Alex hooked the leg for another pin attempt, but Taryn somehow kicked out again, showing just how much fight she still had in her. Alex’s frustration was visible, and she signaled for her finisher, Brain Death, stepping up for the axe kick to end it.
But before Alex could land the final blow, members of The Purge—Jack Morrison, Calvin Faye, Eric Silver, and Quinton Silver—stormed to ringside, causing a commotion that drew the referee’s attention. Amidst the chaos, Quinton grabbed Alex’s leg from outside the ring, tripping her up just enough to let Jack and Eric slide in and assault her with a few hard-hitting strikes. Taryn, catching the interference out of the corner of her eye, hesitated, visibly conflicted about the sudden assault on her opponent. The referee finally managed to get The Purge back under control, ordering them to the back as Alex staggered to her feet, clutching her ribs and struggling to stay upright. Taryn, after a moment’s hesitation, shook off her doubt and charged forward, lifting Alex into position for her Slammed Creation—a rolling fireman’s carry slam. She executed the move flawlessly, sending Alex crashing to the mat with a bone-jarring impact. Taryn immediately hooked Alex’s leg for the pin, and the referee dropped down for the count.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Taryn! Matthews!
Winter Mae: Another disgusting display by The Purge by costing Alex Andrews this match tonight!
Kyle Cassidy: At this point, you have to wonder if they’ll ever be done with her!WINNER: TARYN MATTHEWS
RESULT: PINFALL (SLAMMED CREATION)
Taryn doesn’t have long to celebrate before The Purge climbs into the ring, crowding around her! She shutters back in hesitation, before Jack gestures towards ringside to tell Taryn to get lost! After a moment of thought, she climbs out of the ring, making her way up the ramp!
Winter Mae: Don’t leave her behind! What’s wrong with you?
Kyle Cassidy: She’s making a very smart choice, if you ask me! Even with her help, it’s still 4-on-2!
Jack and The Purge begin to lay the boots into Alex, not even giving her a chance to breathe in between strikes! Taryn makes her way up to the stage, looking back at the carnage ensuing in the ring! Just then, "Through The Fire And The Flames" by Dragon Force begins to play, with Travis Levitt and Matsushita Sora running out from backstage, taking a moment to also share their confusion over Taryn’s lack of help before rushing towards the ring!
Winter Mae: The cavalry has arrived!
Travis and Sora both slide into the ring, with Eric and Quinton Silver immediately dispersing from Alex to come and fight them! It seems as though the two may fight off the four and even things up! But just then, Calvin Faye climbs out and then right back into the ring, clobbering Sora from behind with a steel chair! Eric and Quinton easily take down Travis from there, and now the trio are no better off than where they started!
Kyle Cassidy: These three can only do so much! The odds are stacked against them and The Purge is getting stronger every week! They NEED more help!
Taryn watches all this from the top of the stage, not sure of what to do! She starts to walk towards the curtain to head backstage, with the crowd booing her all the way! But eventually…she stops…
…Before rushing back down to the ring, with the crowd now shaking the rafters with their cheering!
Winter Mae: Whoa look at this! Taryn’s coming back!
Taryn slides into the ring, grabbing the steel chair away from Calvin Faye before clocking him over the head with it! She then nails Eric Silver in the midsection with a shot to double him over, before driving the chair into his back! Quinton Silver and Jack Morrison now ambush her, knocking her down from behind! But Sora and Travis are back up now, with Sora nailing Quinton with the Spiral Flame Strike! Levitt hits the ropes, coming back to nailing Jack with the Resurrection Kick!
Winter Mae: It looks as though The Purge has finally met their match!
Kyle Cassidy: I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted this lot as a dream team, but crazier things have happened here in Zion Wrestling!
Travis, Taryn, and Sora all help Alex to her feet! Alex and Taryn have a tense staredown, with Taryn eventually raising a hand to Alex for her to shake! The two show each other respect, before all four of the competitors in the ring turn their attention to The Purge at ringside! The two sides talk trash to each other as we fade!
Nami Megumi: My path to becoming the Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight Champion continues and my opponent that I will have to prove myself against tonight is Serenity Holmes. If I was before, I would say I was excited, but for me right now, there is no excitement left in me. It is all about winning for me and proving my worth and doing everything to beat Serenity Holmes tonight. I have no mercy for anyone who is my opponent and this match is another important match for me because I cannot lose. If I lose tonight, my career will be over. But I think I will not lose. I see Serenity as a strong opponent and she will challenge me tonight. I do not know Serenity like I know Akane. I do not know how to prepare for tonight's match, but I know that I have to do everything to win. And I know what I have to do. And tonight's match will not be my last fight for the Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight Champion. Whoever stands in my way, I will throw them as far away as possible because no one is going to stop me from becoming the champion after Kara Carbajal. If you ask who is the best person to end Kara's era, the answer is me and I am very confident that I can do it. Even though I may have failed many times, I never believed that a person could lose forever. One day, that person will win, just like a brave person will defeat the devil one day. And of course, I see myself as that brave person.
Nami Megumi: Tonight, I'm not afraid to face Serenity. Even though I've seen how capable Serenity is, I still believe in myself that I'm good enough to win tonight. I believe that I'm good enough not to let Serenity get the better of me tonight. And I know what I said may sound selfish, but as I said, I can't let anyone take my chances away anymore. I know I've made a lot of mistakes, and I can't let it be Kara Carbajal's business with anyone who gets a chance before me. So this is my chance to prove myself. I may look bad to others, I may look selfish, but please believe in me one more time, and I'll prove that I can become the Zion Wrestling World Champion. I've fought for it longer than anyone here. I've failed more than anyone knows. I had to let someone else become the world champion before me, while I waited for my chance. I may have enjoyed being the Zion Gateway Champion, or even the Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champion with Maki Megumi, but I can't remember what it felt like to be a champion anymore. I can only remember the sadness. I can only remember my own failures. And when I have the chance to erase those memories, I want to destroy my nightmares and bring Zion Wrestling back into my era. I want to enjoy being a champion again. I want to make the fans who supported me proud again. And if this is my last chance, my last dance, no one knows where this madness of mine will end.
MATCH #4: NAMI MEGUMI VS SERENITY HOLMES
The bell rings, and Nami Megumi and Serenity Holmes circle each other, each determined to prove their mettle. Serenity, with her height and reach advantage, makes the first move, going in for a collar-and-elbow tie-up. She overpowers Nami slightly, pushing her into the ropes, but Nami slips out quickly, using her agility to evade Serenity’s grasp and rolls away, resetting the bout.
Serenity smirks and nods, as if acknowledging Nami's skill. They lock up again, but this time, Nami ducks under and sweeps Serenity's leg, dropping her to a knee. Without hesitation, Nami hits a rapid Spinning Backfist, rocking Serenity's head to the side! Serenity stumbles back, but Nami is relentless, following up with a Roundhouse Kick to Serenity's midsection.
Nami then runs to the ropes, coming back with a Handspring Pele Kick that connects perfectly. Serenity drops, and Nami hooks the leg.
ONE!
TWO!
Serenity powers out, shoving Nami off of her. Undeterred, Nami goes for a Snap Suplex, but Serenity twists out of it, grabbing Nami and hitting a Snap DDT in return. Nami’s head bounces off the canvas, and Serenity goes for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Nami kicks out, showing her fighting spirit. Serenity pulls Nami to her feet and whips her into the corner, charging with a full-force Yakuza Kick. Nami dodges at the last second, causing Serenity’s boot to hit the turnbuckle. Serenity staggers back, holding her knee, and Nami seizes the opportunity, scaling the ropes and launching off with a Diving Crossbody! Nami lands on top, going for another pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Serenity rolls Nami off of her, frustration beginning to show on her face. Both women get back to their feet, but Nami is faster, landing a flurry of rapid Knife-Edge Chops to Serenity's chest. Each chop echoes through the arena, and Serenity grimaces in pain, her chest reddening with each hit. Nami then leaps up and hits a powerful Meteora, sending Serenity down to the mat once again.
Nami rises and signals to the crowd, who cheer in anticipation as she goes to the ropes. She bounces off for a Slingblade, but Serenity catches her mid-air and counters with a brutal Spinebuster! The crowd gasps as Nami hits the mat hard, and Serenity scrambles for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
TH—No!
Nami kicks out just in time, her resilience shining through. Serenity, looking slightly exasperated, pulls Nami up and goes for a Snap German Suplex, but Nami flips out of it, landing gracefully on her feet. Serenity turns around, surprised, and Nami nails her with a Superkick — the “Ryo no Ikari!” Serenity falls back, dazed, and Nami pounces, wrapping her arms around Serenity’s waist and hitting a Snap Dragon Suplex! Nami bridges into a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Serenity barely gets her shoulder up, showing her own grit and determination. Nami takes a deep breath, pulling Serenity back up and setting her up for another big move. She hooks Serenity for a Falcon Arrow, but Serenity counters, slipping out of Nami’s grasp and retaliating with a Discus Elbow to Nami’s face. Nami staggers, and Serenity runs to the ropes, rebounding with a Clothesline that flips Nami head over heels! Serenity immediately hooks the leg, looking for the victory.
ONE!
TWO!
THR—Nami kicks out again!
The fans are on their feet, cheering both competitors as they dig deep into their reserves. Serenity gets to her feet, a determined expression on her face, and pulls Nami up. She sets up for a Fireman’s Carry, but Nami elbows her way free, landing back on her feet.
With lightning speed, Nami rolls behind Serenity, grabbing her head and hitting a quick Tornado DDT! Serenity is down, and Nami, sensing the end is near, goes to the corner and crouches, waiting for Serenity to rise. As Serenity slowly stands, Nami charges forward, landing the Tsunami — a brutal Last Shot knee strike that connects flush with Serenity’s jaw!
Nami immediately covers, hooking the leg with all her strength.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Vivian Blake: Here is your winner…NNNAAAAAAAAMMMIIIIIII…MEEEEEGUUUUUUMMIIIIIIIII!!!
The bell rings as Nami Megumi secures the victory. The crowd erupts, cheering for Nami’s hard-fought win over a game Serenity Holmes. Both wrestlers lie on the mat, exhausted but proud, as Nami slowly gets to her feet, raising her arm in triumph.
Winter Mae: As she’ll tell you herself, Kyle! Behold The Kingdom!
Kyle Cassidy: Behold indeed, Winter! I gotta give Nami Megumi her props! She’s shown a lot of killer instinct in her pursuit back towards the Global Heavyweight Championship!
As Nami’s celebrating her win, her music is cut off by the cock of a gun over the PA as Disturbed’s “Hell” kicks in. Nami’s head snaps towards the stage as the crowd gasps in shock.
Winter Mae: Wait. Who…?
Kyle Cassidy: Are you kidding me right now?
All eyes go to the curtain as Aella Klein comes slowly strolling out onto the stage to a mixed reaction from the Zion crowd.
Kyle Cassidy: Winter?! What the hell is she doing here?!
Winter Mae: That’s Aella Klein from Steel City Pro! We’ve had a couple visits from them this year but tonight we have a Dragon Slayer in the house!
Nami moves to the center of the ring and locks eyes with Aella from across the way. The Kingdom member looks ready for a fight as Aella holds her ground and a smile slowly spreads across her face as she tilts her head and points a gun hand at her, mouthing “...Bang!”
Crowd:
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
Kyle Cassidy: Is she stepping up next to The Sky Genius?!
Winter Mae: It would seem so!
The staredown continues as the shot cuts away.WINNER: NAMI MEGUMI
RESULT: PINFALL (TSUNAMI)
Lilith sits alone on a stack of boxes in the back, her headphones on and her gaze distant. Lost in thought, she doesn’t notice the cameraman approaching until she pulls out her earbuds and looks up, slipping on her sunglasses.
Lilith Parker: You know, I’ve been wondering these last two weeks… why does Jinx think we’re friends? Why this sudden obsession? But last week, I made it clear—I’m not her friend. I’m her enemy. I’ve faced my own pain, and now, I’m ready to come after Kara again. Every time I’m set to go after her, someone like Jinx just has to get in my way.
Lilith stands, slipping on her jacket as she glances at the cameraman, a sly smile forming. She casually slides her hands into her pockets, chuckling softly.
Lilith Parker: Jinx, last week was just a warning. You’ve got Jessi at Fusion to run to, so why don’t you go and cozy up to her? Speaking of Jessi—she wanted me to reach out, but I haven’t heard back. So tonight, I’m taking down Jinx. And Jessi, you and I will have our talk… one way or another.
Lilith draws a white rose from her pocket, holding it briefly before tossing it at the cameraman’s feet. She lowers her sunglasses, her expression darkening.
Lilith Parker: That’s the way it goes. Time to go, Dracarys.
The rose glows with a bright white light, and in an instant, Lilith vanishes within its radiance, leaving the cameraman bewildered.

Kyle Cassidy: Next week starts with a big one! After her shocking win just a week ago, Yuna Murakami has been the talk of the Mayhem locker room, and word has gotten back to our Endurance Champion, who has requested to face her next week! Zachary Porter puts his title on the line against The Bloodstained Artist!

Zion Wrestling © 2024
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Ayo check it!
The booing gets louder.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: Last week… history was made! History was made when mi hermano, Miguel Ortiz completed the trifecta!
The fans now start a “Fuck you, Ed!” chant which gets a smirk and a shrug from Gutiérrez.
Eduardo Gutiérrez: So ladies and gentlemen! Please give it up for the greatest faction in Zion history! Mi Mamacita of Mayhem… and Global Heavyweight Champion, Kara Carbajal! Mi hermano… the Gatekeeper and Endurance Champion, Zach Porter! And mi hermano… the Mauler and THE NEW Internet Champion, Miguel Ortiz! THE VOID!
E-C-E motions to the stage as “Through The Never” by Metallica begins to play over the PA system as first Kara “Killer” Carbajal walks out and stops in the center of the stage with her championship in her right hand. Then Zachary Porter and Miguel Ortiz walk out and stop either side of Carbajal, also holding their championships in their right hands. The three of them all raise their titles high above their heads while letting out guttural roars before then making their way down the ramp.
Winter Mae: Well this was a sight that we never thought we would see, Kyle.
Kyle Cassidy: Speak for yourself, Winter! The Void have been saying it for nearly two years now that they are the most dominant force in Zion! That they run this bitch! And now?! Nobody can dispute it!
Once they reach the bottom of the ramp, Carbajal swiftly slides under the bottom rope and into the ring while Ortiz pulls himself up onto the apron by the ropes as Porter makes his way up the steel steps. Porter and Ortiz then climb through the ropes and into the ring as they along with Carbajal grab a microphone each as “Through The Never” fades out.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I told you all! WE told you all! For nearly two years we’ve been telling you all that WE are the most dominant force in this company! That we run this bitch! And of course… you all refused to accept it! You all refused to believe it! But now?!
She glances over to Ortiz and then to Porter before turning her focus back to the camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Now! Whether you like it or not! You all have no choice but to accept and believe it to be true! Because WE now hold ALL of the power!
Carbajal, Ortiz and Porter once again all raise their championships up above their heads in unison.
Zachary Porter: We stated from day one WE run this company. Did any of you believe us? Nah. You made fun of my struggles. You disparaged Miguel. You questioned KC’s credibility. All these groups like G.O.D, where are they now, huh? Ate each other alive. The Purge? Who really gives a damn about them? We are once again in the monthly Queens of Chaos in shambles cycle. Feels like at least one member of their little group comes back to air their grievances. Have we eaten each other alive? Nah. Have we turned on each other? Nah. We are the lone constant on Mayhem. Spoiler alert, the rest of this year and 2025 will be more of the same. Enough about that. We are here to celebrate the Man of the Hour. Main Event Mauler. And your neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew Internet Champion. ALL RIIIIIIIIIIIIISE and give Miguel Ortiz his flowers.
Miguel smirked and clapped Zach on the shoulder in thanks. He raised the Internet Championship once more before Draping it over his shoulder with a nod.
Miguel Ortiz: It had been far too long since I held singles gold here. I decided a while ago that I was going to rectify it.
Ortiz looked among his Void family with a nod before back towards the crowd and camera.
Miguel Ortiz: Last week, I did just that. The Void was the best around this show as it was. Now? Well now…
Another pause from the Mauler as he looked between Zach and the Endurance Championship on his shoulder then over to KC and the Global Heavyweight Championship that was resting on her shoulder. He tapped the bottom of the microphone handle against the Internet Championship on his shoulder before bringing it back to his lips to continue.
Miguel Ortiz: The proof of our words, of everything we have ever said, just exists even more. Hate us all you want. You will never be as great as us. Simple as that.
With that, “Through the Never” began playing again as the three champions of The Void smirked as the crowd heavily booed and jeered at them. The scene faded out with the three raising their championships once more with Ed hyping them up.
OPENING CONTEST: MORGAN PAYNE VS ALEJANDRO JAVIER RIVERA
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…representing The Kingdom…from McKeesport, Pennsylvania…weighing in at 141 lbs…Morgan! Payne!
And her opponent…from New York City…weighing in at 245 lbs…Alejandro! Javier! Rivera!
Winter Mae: After a heated last few weeks, things finally come to a head here! How big would it be for AJ Rivera to get a win over the former Global Heavyweight Champion this week, Kyle?
Kyle Cassidy: It would certainly go a long way in establishing Rivera as a big time player here on the red brand if that hasn’t been established already! But with how things have escalated between these two, I’m willing to wager that something like that’s just the cherry on top of him! Right now, all he wants is to tear Morgan Payne apart!
From the moment the bell rings, Alejandro Javier Rivera and Morgan Payne launch at each other like two caged animals set free. Rivera, towering over Payne with his formidable 6'3" frame, starts things off with a brutal shove, sending Payne stumbling back a few steps. She grits her teeth, eyes flashing with fury, and wastes no time charging back, delivering a hard forearm to Rivera’s jaw. Rivera barely flinches, responding with a thunderous slap across her face that echoes throughout the arena.
Undeterred, Payne answers with a hard kick to Rivera’s thigh, followed by another, chipping away at the powerhouse's foundation. Rivera finally shows some irritation, reaching out and grabbing her in a clinch. He overpowers her, landing a series of stiff knee strikes to her ribs, each blow leaving her visibly winded but no less determined. She twists her body, delivering a sharp elbow to his side, forcing him to release her momentarily. Rivera responds instantly, seizing her with a brutal Backdrop Driver, slamming her down with authority.
Morgan grimaces in pain but quickly rolls to her feet, her fighting spirit keeping her in the game. She retaliates with a rapid succession of strikes: a forearm smash to Rivera’s jaw, a spinning backfist to his temple, and then a brutal Lariat that momentarily staggers the larger man. Sensing an opening, Payne tries to take Rivera down with a snap suplex, but Rivera blocks it, countering with a Vertical Suplex of his own that sends her crashing into the mat. Still, he’s far from satisfied; he yanks her back up, going for his signature King’s Landing brainbuster.
Payne, however, isn’t ready to be manhandled any further. She manages to slip out, lands on her feet, and surprises Rivera with a Snap German Suplex, bridging just enough to fling him across the ring. Rivera rolls to his knees, visibly irate. He rushes forward, but Payne sidesteps, using his momentum to drive him into the ropes and deliver a Running Big Boot to his face. The crowd roars as Rivera stumbles back, clutching his jaw, yet still standing tall.
The intensity between them escalates, each trading stiff blows as they move closer to the ropes. Rivera fires off a spinning backfist, but Payne ducks under it, responding with a knee to his gut, followed by a rapid-fire series of palm strikes that force Rivera toward the edge of the ring. Fueled by pure grit, she throws herself at him, tackling him through the ropes, and they both spill to the outside.
The fight only intensifies outside the ring. Payne wastes no time, grabbing Rivera by the back of his neck and slamming his head into the barricade. Rivera grunts in pain, then drives his elbow backward into her midsection, doubling her over. He follows up with a spine-shaking Powerbomb onto the arena floor, a malicious smirk forming as he stands over her. Rivera looks ready to continue his assault, but Payne kicks out at his knees, toppling him momentarily.
Back on her feet, Payne grabs Rivera’s wrist and yanks him forward, delivering a Snap DDT onto the thin mat outside. Rivera’s head bounces off the floor, but he still pushes himself up, his resilience matching her tenacity. With a roar, he clutches Payne and drives her back-first into the ring post, a sickening thud filling the arena. Payne’s face contorts in pain, yet she retaliates with a sharp elbow to his head, briefly stunning him.
Before long, officials and security are swarming the scene, urging them to return to the ring as the referee’s count continues. Neither seems to hear—or care. Payne lands a stiff roundhouse kick, followed by another, but Rivera absorbs the impact and retaliates with a savage Rolling Forearm that sends Payne sprawling onto the floor. Just as Rivera moves to pounce, security rushes between them, forcing him to back up.
Still, neither is willing to end things this way. Rivera shoves aside one of the officials, charging back at Payne, who breaks free of another security guard and throws herself at him. The two wrestlers crash into each other, exchanging blows as officials try to separate them, but neither backs down, eyes locked in mutual fury.
[DING DONG GFX]
Finally, as the bell rings to signal the double countout, security manages to pull Rivera and Payne apart. The crowd erupts, cheering for the chaos as both wrestlers struggle against their restraints, shouting promises of retribution. Though separated for now, the fire between Alejandro Javier Rivera and Morgan Payne is far from extinguished.
Crowd:
LET THEM FIGHT!
LET THEM FIGHT!
LET THEM FIGHT!
LET THEM FIGHT!
Winter Mae: Well that didn’t solve anything between these two!
Kyle Cassidy: I think it just made them wanna tear each other apart even more!
Winter Mae: Katrina Lopez is gonna have her hands full trying to wrangle these two!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…representing The Kingdom…from McKeesport, Pennsylvania…weighing in at 141 lbs…Morgan! Payne!
And her opponent…from New York City…weighing in at 245 lbs…Alejandro! Javier! Rivera!

RESULT: DOUBLE COUNTOUT
The scene fades into focus and we see Erik Holland standing at a specially designed desk, leaning over an old-school style microphone–one of the gimmicks that looks like a “pill” with a tall microphone stand. The bloodshot eyeball logo that he’s sort of adopted as his own personal insignia is emblazoned on a flag behind him, and what keener pro-wres fans’ eyes would recognize as one half of the ECWF World Tag Team Championships folded expertly on the desk next to his mic. Holland has a sort of cynical grin on his face as he leans over to speak.
“Let me be clear, I am no fan of The Void.”
This is probably not an unpopular sentiment, but Holland IS new around here.
“These guys talk about family, family, family first, they run things, they’re on top, all rise, blah blah blah. Look, I have a found family, morons. I have a found family where my father is a proud United States Marine, my mother was a welder for 15 years, and both of them took a chance on a fucked up young man from Poland who was left to fend for himself by the people who birthed him. Because I was too strange, too much of a handful, too unpredictable, too hard to deal with. I’ve heard it all before. Now, since I’ve gotten into pro wrestling my found family is millions and millions strong all over the world, and it means more to me than a void ever could. I’ve been in the void, and let me tell you; there is nothing cute, or funny, or anything you can sell a t-shirt with about it. So from the start you, “Mauler”, have already pissed me off..”
Holland snarls at the camera over the microphone as the scene’s colors distort, fade, and come back to focus again. As if he’s recording this on a pirate broadcast and the signal is soon to be interrupted.
“Mauler became the Internet Champion because the rest of his stupid little family interfered on his behalf. Point blank period. There is nothing that they should be proud of in regards to that ‘victory’ because they cheated not only the match–they cheated themselves. Mauler experienced a hollow victory–he gained nothing other than temporary possession of the Internet Championship, risked nothing, and it’s sad he does not know the difference. Here’s the deal, though. I have a shot at the Internet Championship on Monday Night Mayhem. Roseau, Dominica, the Caribbean which I haven’t come to in quite some time.”
A proud laugh as he adjusts the microphone in front of him with no small amount of dramatic flair.
“I’m coming to Monday Night Mayhem expecting that these guys are gonna once again interfere on Mauler’s behalf, because that’s all they do. That’s all they got. And before you ask, dear Public, no, I don’t care that the Global Champion is part of this–that supposed to scare me? Me, who has stood up to insurmountable odds time and time again over the course of my career just to send all of you home happy? Bullshit. I don’t fear her either, and if she tries to disrupt my match I’ll flatten her too. The fact is, my time has come and when that bell rings there’s nothing that is going to stop me from becoming the new Internet Champion.”
CUT.
MATCH #2: ERIK HOLLAND VS MIGUEL ORTIZ ©
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Erik Holland and Miguel Ortiz charged at each other with fierce intensity, each determined to establish dominance. Holland opened with a brutal running lariat that nearly took Ortiz’s head off, forcing him into the corner. Without wasting a second, Holland launched a barrage of machine-gun chops, the smacks echoing around the arena as Ortiz winced with each impact. Ortiz fought back, grabbing Holland’s arm and twisting him into a tight wrist lock, showcasing his knack for joint manipulation. Before Holland could counter, Ortiz capitalized with a stinging European uppercut that staggered Holland, sending him retreating. Holland recovered, coming back with a shoulder block that leveled Ortiz, showing he wouldn’t back down easily.
In the second round of exchanges, Ortiz started to take control, his calculated offense wearing down Holland. A precise spinning heel kick to the chest sent Holland reeling, and Ortiz followed up with a half-nelson suplex, planting him squarely on his neck. Holland’s resilience shone through, though, as he clawed his way back up and surprised Ortiz with a snappy spear from out of nowhere, knocking Ortiz back onto the mat. With the momentum shifting again, Holland went for his Butcher’s Hook sleeper hold, trapping Ortiz’s arm and raining down sharp elbow strikes. Ortiz’s face contorted in pain as he struggled, but he managed to power through and force a break, catching Holland with a knee strike to the midsection that doubled him over. Both men were now visibly worn, yet neither seemed close to giving up.
As the match approached its climax, Holland took to the ropes and delivered his “Stain of Mind” top-rope splash, crashing onto Ortiz with his full weight. The impact left Ortiz gasping for air, and gave Holland a chance to attempt his Lament Configuration, trapping Ortiz in a crossface-armbar combination. Ortiz screamed but clawed his way to the ropes to force a break. Once free, he rolled out of the ring to catch his breath, but Holland was relentless, diving off the apron with his Death Blooms diving elbow drop, connecting flush and sending both men crashing to the floor. They struggled back to their feet, the audience buzzing as they sensed the intensity building toward a climax.
Back in the ring, Ortiz found a second wind, and when Holland charged, Ortiz countered with a blistering superkick, followed by a brutal running curb stomp that left Holland dazed. Smelling victory, Ortiz quickly applied a Fujiwara armbar, cranking back viciously as he looked to finish the match with a submission. Holland gritted his teeth, enduring the pain before finally escaping by rolling Ortiz over for a quick pin.
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH—!/b]
With adrenaline pumping, Holland went for his finisher, The Toxic Avenger, lifting Ortiz onto his shoulders. But Ortiz countered, slipping out and catching Holland with a chokeslam that shook the ring. Ortiz seized the moment, hoisting Holland into the air with his Crucifix Powerbomb and slamming him down hard for the decisive pinfall. The referee slid to the mat to make the count once again.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…and STILL the Zion Wrestling INTERNET! CHAMPION!...MIGUEL! ORTIZ!
As Ortiz stood in the ring, exhausted but victorious, he raised the Internet Championship high, basking in the moment. But before he could fully savor his win, Reina Hamada stormed into the ring. In a flash, she blindsided Ortiz with a steel chair to the back, sending him crumbling to his knees. She followed up with a brutal series of strikes, leaving Ortiz sprawled on the mat as she stood over him, casting a defiant glare down at him.
Winter Mae: It looks as though Reina Hamada isn’t letting Miguel Ortiz get away with her title that easily!
Kyle Cassidy: We may see them clash again down the line! The only question is…is that something that Hamada wants…?
RESULT: PINFALL (CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB)
After the events of Mayhem: FallOut, the attention regarding Hungry for Destruction has escalated. Serenity’s parade of damage control on social media can be easily seen through and regardless, the situation has not been resolved. The effect on Hungry for Destruction has rolled over with Serenity’s attempts in trying to contact Livvie Nelson to no avail. To speak more on the matter, Meliana Rodrigo has managed to capture an inside scoop where a camera crew follows behind her in the backstage hallways to separate away.
Meliana Rodrigo: Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve heard about a commotion in the backstage area. Serenity Holmes is going to compete against Nani Megumi later on the card but apparently, she’s been occupied with another issue at hand. Wait, I’m hearing some yelling so let’s check it out!
Meliana leads the crusade of the production team moving around different intersections and pathways. In the secluded area, the camera peeks around the corner to see Serenity Holmes on the phone yelling at the top of her lungs in a tempered manner. She’s also slapping stuff around, throwing things and kicking equipment!
Serenity Holmes: I was just trying to help you okay?! That’s all I’ve ever done for you! I’ve always had your back and I wanted you to become Global Heavyweight Champion! What?! No! Of course, I don’t doubt you! I just don’t understand why you would choose Kara over me! What the hell do you mean I’m being selfish?! Hello?! Hello?! OH MY GOD!!!
Serenity taps on the phone violently and quickly. After a few missed calls and eventually no answers, she slams her phone down an equipment box. Serenity grabs onto a toolbox and throws it against a fence before yelling at the top of her lungs. The camera shows Meliana again but in the background, Serenity is having a full-blown temper tantrum and destroying property.
Meliana Rodrigo: As you can see, Serenity Holmes is not in the best state. The situation between her and Livvie Nelson has not improved. Will she be able to focus tonight in her match? We’re not sure but Serenity is angry and we’ll be back to you-
Serenity Holmes: ARE YOU FILMING ME?!
Meliana’s face nearly turns blue and the camera crew scramble away. Meliana leads them away to safety but Serenity chases after them in her rage. The segment ends with a little chaos but Serenity storms off with employees and backstage personnel moving out of the way.

The camera cuts from ringside, showing a “Previously Recorded” note in the corner of the screen, as we head to last week’s Fallout episode to find Meliana Rodrigo catching up with Yuna Murakami after her impromptu match with Sofia Hilton to open the show. Yuna, at least at first, doesn’t even seem to notice she’s being followed, so when Meliana catches up with her, there’s a momentary jump from the Bloodstained Artist, but a smile reappears on her face just as quickly.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Oh, gosh, I’m sorry! I just wanted to ask you a couple questions about that match, if that’s okay.”
Yuna nods a little and smiles, pivoting on her heel and even giving the cameraman a little wave--always acknowledge your camerapeople, folks.
Yuna Murakami: “Yes!”
Meliana Rodrigo: “I mean, first off, what an impressive shot! But, what made you answer Sofia’s challenge in the first place?”
Yuna just shrugs a little, not quite seeming to understand why she wouldn’t--and, also, having to take a moment to parse her thoughts into English.
Yuna Murakami: “Don’t like to...sit. Wait. A match, better than no match, no matter who is against.”
Meliana Rodrigo: “I...hm, okay, fair enough. Sofia seemed to have some, uh...issues, let’s say, with it ending as quickly as it did, is that...”
Yuna just smiles, despite having seen Sofia’s protests after the pin was counted.
Yuna Murakami: “Would be more weird if she was happy, but...that, not my concern. She made this challenge, I answer, I won. Not sure what else to say, but...if she has something to prove, we can do it again.”
Meliana Rodrigo: “Obviously, you would’ve preferred to have been in the final for the Fight for the Future tournament, but it wasn’t to be--do you think this kind of win puts you back on the right track?”
Yuna Murakami: “Mm, any win is a good win. This can maybe turn, um...”
Yuna starts talking with her hands a little bit, clearly struggling to find the word she means; she slips back into Japanese, muttering to herself as she starts mimicking a wheel rolling with her hands.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Momentum?”
Meliana knowing what word she needed immediately brings that beaming smile back to Yuna’s face.
Yuna Murakami: “Ah, yes! Momentum! Win can turn that around, maybe. As I say, don’t like to sit and watch, so...hopeful that beating Sofia will mean more chances to compete.”
Meliana Rodrigo: “Well, it certainly can’t hurt your chances to move up the rankings.”
Yuna just nods emphatically, keeping that smile on her face.
Meliana Rodrigo: “Which, speaking of, what are you hoping for? Climb the rankings toward the Endurance Championship, or...?”
Yuna just shrugs, a certain nonchalance in her answer.
Yuna Murakami: “Whatever is next. Can be anyone, can be anywhere, just...do not want to sit and watch, so any match can be next.”
Yuna flashes a peace sign with both hands, before turning to leave with a little bit of a skip in her step, leaving Meliana a little shocked by the abrupt exit of the young Japanese woman. Nonetheless, she shrugs her shoulders and lets the feed cut to black.
MATCH #3: TARYN MATTHEWS VS ALEX ANDREWS
Taryn Matthews and Alex Andrews began with both wrestlers trading holds, each trying to outmaneuver the other. Alex took an early advantage, using her technical prowess to keep Taryn grounded, transitioning from a series of suplexes to a precise Fujiwara Armbar. Taryn winced, struggling against the hold, but managed to maneuver her way to the ropes, forcing the break. As Alex released the armbar, Taryn sprang to her feet and countered with a series of rapid-fire kicks that backed Alex up, before hitting a brutal snapmare neckbreaker—her Broken Star. The crowd roared as Alex clutched her neck in pain, rolling away to regain her bearings.
The match escalated as both women showcased their agility and resilience. Taryn, feeling the momentum, attempted a daring suicide dive, only for Alex to counter mid-air with a fierce leg lariat, leaving Taryn sprawled outside the ring. Alex quickly followed up, dragging Taryn back into the ring and unleashing a devastating Elysium, her signature running bicycle kick, which nearly took Taryn’s head off. Alex covered Taryn for the pin, but Taryn barely managed to kick out, drawing gasps from the audience.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE—!
Refusing to let up, Alex went for a Dawn Breaker, looking to lock in the Haas of Pain, but Taryn fought desperately, using her flexibility to kick Alex off and roll away to safety. The two wrestlers traded brutal strikes and counters, neither one willing to back down. Taryn nailed Alex with a spinebuster and quickly scaled the turnbuckle, aiming for her Never Ending Story, the corkscrew shooting star press. But Alex rolled out of the way at the last second, leaving Taryn to crash onto the mat, the impact echoing throughout the arena. Sensing an opening, Alex hauled Taryn up and delivered a backstabber, her Broken Wings. Taryn’s body snapped back, and Alex hooked the leg for another pin attempt, but Taryn somehow kicked out again, showing just how much fight she still had in her. Alex’s frustration was visible, and she signaled for her finisher, Brain Death, stepping up for the axe kick to end it.
But before Alex could land the final blow, members of The Purge—Jack Morrison, Calvin Faye, Eric Silver, and Quinton Silver—stormed to ringside, causing a commotion that drew the referee’s attention. Amidst the chaos, Quinton grabbed Alex’s leg from outside the ring, tripping her up just enough to let Jack and Eric slide in and assault her with a few hard-hitting strikes. Taryn, catching the interference out of the corner of her eye, hesitated, visibly conflicted about the sudden assault on her opponent. The referee finally managed to get The Purge back under control, ordering them to the back as Alex staggered to her feet, clutching her ribs and struggling to stay upright. Taryn, after a moment’s hesitation, shook off her doubt and charged forward, lifting Alex into position for her Slammed Creation—a rolling fireman’s carry slam. She executed the move flawlessly, sending Alex crashing to the mat with a bone-jarring impact. Taryn immediately hooked Alex’s leg for the pin, and the referee dropped down for the count.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Taryn! Matthews!
Winter Mae: Another disgusting display by The Purge by costing Alex Andrews this match tonight!
Kyle Cassidy: At this point, you have to wonder if they’ll ever be done with her!
RESULT: PINFALL (SLAMMED CREATION)
Taryn doesn’t have long to celebrate before The Purge climbs into the ring, crowding around her! She shutters back in hesitation, before Jack gestures towards ringside to tell Taryn to get lost! After a moment of thought, she climbs out of the ring, making her way up the ramp!
Winter Mae: Don’t leave her behind! What’s wrong with you?
Kyle Cassidy: She’s making a very smart choice, if you ask me! Even with her help, it’s still 4-on-2!
Jack and The Purge begin to lay the boots into Alex, not even giving her a chance to breathe in between strikes! Taryn makes her way up to the stage, looking back at the carnage ensuing in the ring! Just then, "Through The Fire And The Flames" by Dragon Force begins to play, with Travis Levitt and Matsushita Sora running out from backstage, taking a moment to also share their confusion over Taryn’s lack of help before rushing towards the ring!
Winter Mae: The cavalry has arrived!
Travis and Sora both slide into the ring, with Eric and Quinton Silver immediately dispersing from Alex to come and fight them! It seems as though the two may fight off the four and even things up! But just then, Calvin Faye climbs out and then right back into the ring, clobbering Sora from behind with a steel chair! Eric and Quinton easily take down Travis from there, and now the trio are no better off than where they started!
Kyle Cassidy: These three can only do so much! The odds are stacked against them and The Purge is getting stronger every week! They NEED more help!
Taryn watches all this from the top of the stage, not sure of what to do! She starts to walk towards the curtain to head backstage, with the crowd booing her all the way! But eventually…she stops…
…Before rushing back down to the ring, with the crowd now shaking the rafters with their cheering!
Winter Mae: Whoa look at this! Taryn’s coming back!
Taryn slides into the ring, grabbing the steel chair away from Calvin Faye before clocking him over the head with it! She then nails Eric Silver in the midsection with a shot to double him over, before driving the chair into his back! Quinton Silver and Jack Morrison now ambush her, knocking her down from behind! But Sora and Travis are back up now, with Sora nailing Quinton with the Spiral Flame Strike! Levitt hits the ropes, coming back to nailing Jack with the Resurrection Kick!
Winter Mae: It looks as though The Purge has finally met their match!
Kyle Cassidy: I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted this lot as a dream team, but crazier things have happened here in Zion Wrestling!
Travis, Taryn, and Sora all help Alex to her feet! Alex and Taryn have a tense staredown, with Taryn eventually raising a hand to Alex for her to shake! The two show each other respect, before all four of the competitors in the ring turn their attention to The Purge at ringside! The two sides talk trash to each other as we fade!
Nami Megumi: My path to becoming the Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight Champion continues and my opponent that I will have to prove myself against tonight is Serenity Holmes. If I was before, I would say I was excited, but for me right now, there is no excitement left in me. It is all about winning for me and proving my worth and doing everything to beat Serenity Holmes tonight. I have no mercy for anyone who is my opponent and this match is another important match for me because I cannot lose. If I lose tonight, my career will be over. But I think I will not lose. I see Serenity as a strong opponent and she will challenge me tonight. I do not know Serenity like I know Akane. I do not know how to prepare for tonight's match, but I know that I have to do everything to win. And I know what I have to do. And tonight's match will not be my last fight for the Zion Wrestling Global Heavyweight Champion. Whoever stands in my way, I will throw them as far away as possible because no one is going to stop me from becoming the champion after Kara Carbajal. If you ask who is the best person to end Kara's era, the answer is me and I am very confident that I can do it. Even though I may have failed many times, I never believed that a person could lose forever. One day, that person will win, just like a brave person will defeat the devil one day. And of course, I see myself as that brave person.
Nami Megumi: Tonight, I'm not afraid to face Serenity. Even though I've seen how capable Serenity is, I still believe in myself that I'm good enough to win tonight. I believe that I'm good enough not to let Serenity get the better of me tonight. And I know what I said may sound selfish, but as I said, I can't let anyone take my chances away anymore. I know I've made a lot of mistakes, and I can't let it be Kara Carbajal's business with anyone who gets a chance before me. So this is my chance to prove myself. I may look bad to others, I may look selfish, but please believe in me one more time, and I'll prove that I can become the Zion Wrestling World Champion. I've fought for it longer than anyone here. I've failed more than anyone knows. I had to let someone else become the world champion before me, while I waited for my chance. I may have enjoyed being the Zion Gateway Champion, or even the Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champion with Maki Megumi, but I can't remember what it felt like to be a champion anymore. I can only remember the sadness. I can only remember my own failures. And when I have the chance to erase those memories, I want to destroy my nightmares and bring Zion Wrestling back into my era. I want to enjoy being a champion again. I want to make the fans who supported me proud again. And if this is my last chance, my last dance, no one knows where this madness of mine will end.

Nami bridges into a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Serenity barely gets her shoulder up, showing her own grit and determination. Nami takes a deep breath, pulling Serenity back up and setting her up for another big move.

With lightning speed, Nami rolls behind Serenity, grabbing her head and hitting a quick Tornado DDT! Serenity is down, and Nami, sensing the end is near, goes to the corner and crouches, waiting for Serenity to rise. As Serenity slowly stands, Nami charges forward, landing the Tsunami — a brutal Last Shot knee strike that connects flush with Serenity’s jaw!
Nami immediately covers, hooking the leg with all her strength.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Vivian Blake: Here is your winner…NNNAAAAAAAAMMMIIIIIII…MEEEEEGUUUUUUMMIIIIIIIII!!!
The bell rings as Nami Megumi secures the victory. The crowd erupts, cheering for Nami’s hard-fought win over a game Serenity Holmes. Both wrestlers lie on the mat, exhausted but proud, as Nami slowly gets to her feet, raising her arm in triumph.
Winter Mae: As she’ll tell you herself, Kyle! Behold The Kingdom!
Kyle Cassidy: Behold indeed, Winter! I gotta give Nami Megumi her props! She’s shown a lot of killer instinct in her pursuit back towards the Global Heavyweight Championship!
As Nami’s celebrating her win, her music is cut off by the cock of a gun over the PA as Disturbed’s “Hell” kicks in. Nami’s head snaps towards the stage as the crowd gasps in shock.
Winter Mae: Wait. Who…?
Kyle Cassidy: Are you kidding me right now?
All eyes go to the curtain as Aella Klein comes slowly strolling out onto the stage to a mixed reaction from the Zion crowd.
Kyle Cassidy: Winter?! What the hell is she doing here?!
Winter Mae: That’s Aella Klein from Steel City Pro! We’ve had a couple visits from them this year but tonight we have a Dragon Slayer in the house!
Nami moves to the center of the ring and locks eyes with Aella from across the way. The Kingdom member looks ready for a fight as Aella holds her ground and a smile slowly spreads across her face as she tilts her head and points a gun hand at her, mouthing “...Bang!”
Crowd:
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
Kyle Cassidy: Is she stepping up next to The Sky Genius?!
Winter Mae: It would seem so!
The staredown continues as the shot cuts away.
RESULT: PINFALL (TSUNAMI)
Lilith sits alone on a stack of boxes in the back, her headphones on and her gaze distant. Lost in thought, she doesn’t notice the cameraman approaching until she pulls out her earbuds and looks up, slipping on her sunglasses.
Lilith Parker: You know, I’ve been wondering these last two weeks… why does Jinx think we’re friends? Why this sudden obsession? But last week, I made it clear—I’m not her friend. I’m her enemy. I’ve faced my own pain, and now, I’m ready to come after Kara again. Every time I’m set to go after her, someone like Jinx just has to get in my way.
Lilith stands, slipping on her jacket as she glances at the cameraman, a sly smile forming. She casually slides her hands into her pockets, chuckling softly.
Lilith Parker: Jinx, last week was just a warning. You’ve got Jessi at Fusion to run to, so why don’t you go and cozy up to her? Speaking of Jessi—she wanted me to reach out, but I haven’t heard back. So tonight, I’m taking down Jinx. And Jessi, you and I will have our talk… one way or another.
Lilith draws a white rose from her pocket, holding it briefly before tossing it at the cameraman’s feet. She lowers her sunglasses, her expression darkening.
Lilith Parker: That’s the way it goes. Time to go, Dracarys.
The rose glows with a bright white light, and in an instant, Lilith vanishes within its radiance, leaving the cameraman bewildered.

MATCH #5: LILITH PARKER VS JINX, THE JESTRESS
“Circus” by Haloscene begins to play over the speakers as it seems as though Lilith Parker will be the first to make an entrance for this match. Though, strangely enough, despite the roars of the crowd and the long wait, Parker still doesn’t make her way out onto the stage.
Winter Mae: I’m not sure what’s going on ladies and gentlemen, but this delay is not a part of our schedule tonight!
Kyle Cassidy: Lilith Parker seems to be running fashionably late, Wi–
Winter Mae: Oh my god! Wait! We need to cut backstage!
We eventually cut backstage, with the titantron displaying Parker making her way through the corridors to get to gorilla position! She’s eventually intercepted, with Jinx, The Jestress rushing right up to her and tackling her into some equipment crates! The two women begin to trade wild strikes back and forth as referees crowd in to pry them apart! This doesn’t work, however, with Jinx getting Parker in position before smashing her head into a wall behind them with the Curtain Jerk!
Winter Mae: Holy hell!
The referees begin to crowd around Parker, checking if she’s okay as Jinx just sits on the floor and giggles to herself! The scene fades on the sight of Jinx simply smiling to herself.

RESULT: MATCH DID NOT START
Winter Mae: Well, as our staff tries to get things back in order, I guess we’ll let you know what we have in store for next week as we head to Barbados!
Kyle Cassidy: Next week starts with a big one! After her shocking win just a week ago, Yuna Murakami has been the talk of the Mayhem locker room, and word has gotten back to our Endurance Champion, who has requested to face her next week! Zachary Porter puts his title on the line against The Bloodstained Artist!
Winter Mae: Speaking of events that took place weeks ago, Chalk Outline Angels still has yet to forget about what took place when Lucas Branson left them hanging high and dry! Now they look to get even, as Preeti takes Branson on one-on-one!
Kyle Cassidy: After some time away, the Global Tag Team Championships are on the line! After what went down tonight, Serenity Holmes came into Katrina Lopez’s office and cashed in Hungry For Destruction’s rematch clause! Will the duo be able to pull things back together and regain the titles from Team Big, Tall, & Cute As FUCK?
Winter Mae: And in our main event, we’re still struggling to wrap our heads around this! But it’s true, and it’s happening next week! The Dragon Slayer herself, Aella Klein comes to the red brand from Steel City Pro Wrestling for one night to stick a fork in the Sky Genius’ plans to become Global Heavyweight Champion! All that and more goes down next week on Mayhem!
MAIN EVENT: CODE BLACK VS REGULATORS INC.
Winter Mae: Welcome back to Monday Night Mayhem for Zion Wrestling! We are finally reaching the tipping point of our main event! Code Black vs. Regulators Incorporated will be taking place and from our last Mayhem, these two tag teams couldn’t be able to finish a match without tearing each other apart!
Kyle Cassidy: An understatement of the year! The officials can barely take control of these teams in a ring! At this point, the main event may not be enough! Katrina Lopez has said she wanted this match to end with a winner and there would be consequences in case it doesn’t happen!
Winter Mae: Either way Kyle, both teams are looking to gain a victory in their path to getting a championship opportunity for the Zion Wrestling Global Tag Team Championships! Let’s just hope that either team puts that vision before the itch to hurt each other more! Let’s turn it over to Vivian Blake to announce both teams inside the ring!
The camera transitions from the commentary section to the interior of the ring. Code Black and Regulators, Inc, are in their opposing corners with the official in the middle doing his best to watch both teams. Vivian Blake nods her head and steps up with the microphone in her hand to begin with the match introductions.
Vivian Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is our main event of the evening and it is a tag match scheduled for one fall!
Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first! At a combined weight of 315 pounds! The team of Ravyn Nightshade and Olivia Nightshade, they are Code Black!
Ravyn and Olivia Nightshade are in their corner posing for those who are booing them. Roseau, Dominica, aren’t too happy for them to be in the venue and they look across the ring at Regulators, Inc, who are ready to start the fight. Vivian Blake continues with the introductions.
Vivian Blake: Introducing their opponents! At a combined weight of 304 pounds! The team of Jane Adler and Sadie Cassidy, they are Regulators Incorporated!
The audience is very pleasant in their loud support for Jane and Sadie. Both women are in their corner warming up for the match and nod to each other knowing who their opponents are. Vivian gets out of the ring and the referee keeps both teams at an equal distance.
Kyle Cassidy: Oh yeah! Let’s see if this match will go the distance or implode! Code Black vs. Regulators, Inc. The main event starts now!
Code Black and Regulators, Inc. Jane Adler and Olivia Nightshade are the starting members for their respective tag teams. Both women leave their corners and nearly mirror each other in distance and pacing from circling the ring. Once they meet in the center, they lock up in a traditional collar and elbow tie up. Both competitors are fighting to get the advantage until Olivia locks Jane in a Side Headlock squeezing down on the head!
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jane tries to get out of the submission but Olivia keeps the hold on the head. Jane pushes her against the ropes then uses the spring to push her off. Upon the return, Adler gets floored to the mat from the Running Shoulder Barge! Jane hits the canvas pretty hard and she turns on her stomach attempting to trip Nightshade as she hops over. Both women on their feet and Jane takes her down after landing a Leaping Enzuigiri Kick into the skull!
Winter Mae: Jane Adler established the pace of the match with that Enzuigiri Kick! Here comes the tag!
The tag has been made! Sadie enters through the ropes and Jane keeps Olivia in her grasp. Jane holds onto her right arm and launches her into the ropes. Upon the rebound, she catches her in her grasp and lifts her off the mat for a quick Spinebuster in the center of the ring!

Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kyle Cassidy: Regulators, Inc, have proven to be one of the most cohesive tag teams on the Mayhem roster! A Spinebuster finishing with a Slingshot Senton on Olivia and here is the pin attempt!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Olivia kicks out from the pin attempt and Sadie gets off the canvas. She reaches down to help her opponent stand up then throws her into an unoccupied corner. Sadie charges and lands a Flying Forearm Smash into the face of Olivia who falls onto her hands and knees. She stands on the middle turnbuckle ready to land a high impact move but gets distracted by Ravyn arguing with the referee. The moment of distraction pays off with quickly running to the ropes and kicking them causing Sadie to lose her balance and collapse all the way to the canvas!
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Winter Mae: You need to have eyes in the back of your head! Code Black will do anything and everything to remain in control and Sadie is about to understand that!
Sadie tries to stand on her hands and knees. The ropes are near so she uses them to stand up in the corner Olivia returns the favor with a Running Forearm Blow into her head! She falls into Olivia a little unbalanced and Olivia scoops her off the mat before walking down into the center of the ring for the Michinoku Driver!!
Kyle Cassidy: Michinoku Driver! Olivia Nightshade planting her down to the mat! Here comes the pin attempt!
ONE...!
TWO...!
No! Sadie kicks out from the pin attempt and her partner, Jane, is trying to give her support by riling up the audience to clap for her. Olivia is on her feet and tells Jane to shut up. She tags in when her sister, Ravyn, enters the ring. Ravyn twists the right arm of Sadie in an Arm Wringer then clocks her in the stomach with a Savage Spin Kick! Olivia follows up with her own kick into the exposed ribs then nails her down with a Russian Leg Sweep after Ravyn lands a Spinning Back Kick to the back of Sadie’s head!
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Winter Mae: Code Black with a sequence of strikes and finishing blows to Sadie! Ravyn with the pin and will they get it?!
ONE...!
TWO...!
Sadie kicks out yet again and Rayvn yells at the referee to stop messing around! She then sits up Sadie on the canvas, clasps her hands under the chin and puts her right knee into the spine of her opponent and applies the Rear Chinlock! Sadie is stuck in the submission hold and tries to fight out but Ravyn continues to put the pressure which makes it hard for her!
Crowd:
SADIE! SADIE! SADIE! SADIE! SADIE! SADIE!
The audience’s support builds the confidence and strength in Sadie to start fighting against the grip of the submission hold. Ravyn can’t believe it when both women begin to rise and she breaks the hold for a few Clubbing Blows on the spine and Sadie turns around to catch the right arm and plant Ravyn down on the canvas with a Snap STO Takedown!
Kyle Cassidy: Amazing takedown! Ravyn and Sadie are down on the canvas! Both women are crawling to their opponents! Sadie leaps and gets the tag and so does Ravyn with Olivia! Both women are going in now!
Olivia enters into the ring and charges into Jane who takes her down to the canvas with a Running Big Boot into the head! Olivia falls down to the mat but gets up from the momentum and tries to combat her opponent but another Big Boot takes her down again. She stands up almost out of it Jane quickly takes her by the head to plant her down on the canvas with a Swinging Neckbreaker!
Crowd:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Winter Mae: Jane Adler taking control for Regulators, Inc! She’s feeling the momentum and has this match in the palm of her hands!
Jane knows that and she’s continuing the momentum! She picks up Ravyn off the canvas and helps her back up to her feet. Olivia then holds onto the right arm of Ravyn and throws her into the ropes; Thus, upon the rebound, she lifts Ravyn off the mat for a Inverted Atomic Drop that makes her hop up and down but Olivia lifts her off the mat for a Scoop Slam in the center of the ring!
Winter Mae: The signature Inverted Atomic Drop and Scoop Slam combination from Jane Adler!
Jane attempts to go for the pin attempt until turning around out of instinct to take the boot of Olivia Nightshade who floors her down with a Running Brogue Kick! The fans at ringside groan from the impact and Olivia yells at her to stay down!
Kyle Cassidy: As Olivia would say it, Jane needs to Taste The Leather, Bitch! The Brogue Kick doing its job and Jane is down on the canvas!
On the apron, Sadie Williams has positioned herself with both hands on the top rope. Olivia turns around to see Sadie slingshotting herself over the top rope with enough momentum to turn her inside out from the Buckshot Lariat! Olivia lands down on the canvas and Sadie slaps her chest from landing that vicious strike!
Winter Mae: Buckshot Lariat! Sadie Williams turned her inside out and almost took her head off from her signature Lariat!
While Sadie has been enjoying the rewards of her signature blow, Ravyn has found herself on her feet and in motion. She leaps onto the middle rope near an unoccupied corner then hops onto the adjacent top rope to leap backwards to catch her legs around Sadie’s head for a Hurricanranna! All four women are down on the mat and the audience stands on their feet applauding how amazing these women are doing!
Kyle Cassidy: Skywalker Hurricanrana! Ravyn Nightshade coming out of nowhere! All four women are down on the mat and they are giving their all! We may finally have a definitive winner!
With all women down, they begin to stir and move around. Code Black are the first to get up on their feet with Regulatory, Inc on their feet not too long afterwards. There’s a standoff. Ravyn and Olivia standing across from Jane and Sadie. All four women look at each other and without hesitation, they immediately brawling against each other. Ravyn and Jane, Sadie and Olivia, the four of them engaged in a brawl that the referee demands for them to stop but given how gruesome it has become, the match has lost control and he waves it off!
Crowd:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Winter Mae: We cannot keep doing this! These two teams need to settle this with a definite win! Every time they step into the ring, things end in a brawl and it’s making us even more on edge to know if Mayhem can contain these four women!
The audience watches Rayvn and Jade roll around in a ball of brawling on the canvas. In the corner, Sadie and Olivia are in the corner brawling as well. The referee is trying to stop them but he gets knocked down to the mat which means there’s no one to put an end to this. The bell continues to ring in an attempt to warn them to stop but the women are brawling without any care in the world.
Crowd:
LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Kyle Cassidy: Can we get security out here?! These women are going to keep brawling until the show ends!
Unfortunately for the four women in the ring, Mai Blackman manages to pull Ravyn from out of the ring and tosses her body first into the steel steps! Her body collides into the structure and Sadie Williams watches Mai with a look of concern. She slowly stands up and turns around into Alice Chambers knocking her down through the ropes with a Running Big Boot into the head!
Winter Mae: What the hell?! Mai Blackman and Alice Chambers! What are they doing here and they’re clearing house?!
Mai slides under the bottom rope before getting back to her feet. Olivia turns around to see what happens and charges out of the corner into Blackman who ducks for Mai to floor her down to the mat with a Lariat! Blackman then takes off into a charge and lands a vicious Running Elbow Blow into Sadie that puts them both down on the mat! All four women are laid out and Mai alongside Alice stand together enjoying the fruits of their labor. The final shot is them turning their heads to look at Katrina Lopez on the stage not too pleased from what had to be done.
RESULT: DOUBLE DQ
