The chorus of “Revolution” by The Used finishes as we cut to the arena! The main lights of the arena go out and the only shine we see are the Lights of the stage flashing to the beat of the second verse.
“We looked at the price tag
And it’s one we can’t afford,
We were taught that progression
Means accumulating more…”
Just then the lights burst to life, revealing a sold out crowd in The Smoothie King Center! The crowd breaks off into their usual “Fusion” chants as we get underway!
Tripp Bennett: We’re just 24 hours away from the blue brand’s first ever exclusive PPV event, but things are just starting to heat up here! Welcome….to Fusion: Showdown! I’m Tripp Bennett, joined as always by my broadcast colleague, Alivia Takasoto!
Alivia Takasoto: Huge implications for tonight’s show, Tripp! We’re so close to figuring out who’s gonna be in the finals for the Viral Championship Tournament! And we’re opening up in a huge way here! Let’s just get started!
The scene opens up showing a closed door with a label reading, "Janitor." The sub-caption on the scene states, "Earlier Today." The camera picks up faint sounds of moaning and a stereo nearby playing "Warrior" by Stitched Up Heart. The music stops abruptly as does the moaning and the door opens up revealing Celeste Ciel standing in the doorway covered up with only a towel with wet hair and beads of sweat on her face and body. She notices the camera and grins seductively with a gaze almost as if peering through to the camera's operator.
Celeste Ciel: Ah, are you wanting and invitation?
Her smile goes to a slight sneer as she continues...
Celeste Ciel: I don't know how loud I was being, but it is only me in here, so nobody else is invited. Sorry to break your pathetic heart with that news. I know men like you tend to get off on the very sound of a woman in the throws of passion... The build up to the eventual climax and feelings of ecstasy! I'd invite you to watch, but I don't want to be responsible for reimbursing you for your hospital stay. Besides, what I am doing in there is nothing compared to what I will be doing tonight...
She tightens the towel around her body revealing the contours of her sultry figure and tucks the top to keep it up.
Celeste Ciel: Unlike in there, tonight, the entire world will be able to watch... They will be able to watch me take myself to the point of being satisfied, to that very climax, but I will deny myself the pleasure of ecstasy. That is why I am preparing myself tonight for my self-denial by gratifying myself ahead of time. Tonight I will share something special with Jordan Majors. I saw something special in her the moment I laid eyes on that sexy, beautiful, vicious, blonde--
She interrupts herself to let out a moan as she closes her eyes looking deep in thought for a moment.
Celeste Ciel: I need to stop doing that, I stated there would be no free show for you, after all. Tonight, Jordan, all the weeks of you and me building up the tension to get at each other will finally be relieved as one of us falls and the other goes on into the tournament for a second match to get to the finals. Who will be victorious? I am in it to push you to your limits because I know there is something vicious within you that... ATTRACTS my interests. Something within you that needs to be brought out if not permanently, at least for one night. I am vowing to deny you victory tonight lest you are able to stop me. Either way I'm coming out a winner; I silence you with my actions instead of my words or I feel your full wrath and enjoy every moment. Come at me filled with the same vengeance and fire you showed me in your gorgeous eyes the night we first met and please, I beg you, hurt me as much as you are able.
Celeste puts her hands together appearing as if physically about to beg on her knees, but instead stays standing.
Celeste Ciel: Jordan, hurt me, break my body, and make me bleed. Do what you must and let me enjoy every facet of you. Let me feel your touch as a gentle caress before it tightens around my throat and as you choke me out I will only smile and moan for it is EXACTLY what I want from you, EXACTLY what I need from you, and EXACTLY why we are perfect for each other. Respect is not on the table for you have no reason to earn something you already have from me. I want to give you something more than my respect. I want to give you all of me in the ring tonight. Then, as you and I both sit in the ring together bloodied up and broken as one, maybe you will be one step closer to understanding me. Maybe you will then possess the understanding that nobody has ever had with me. Why do I do what I do? Why do I act this way? Come, find out firsthand. Join me in the ring tonight and let us both engorge ourselves in the pain and punishment we will send our bodies through. Rest well today, Mon Amour, for tonight we have our date.
She steps back and grabs the door about to close it, but stops herself.
Celeste Ciel: Oh, and Jordan, fret not, I will be freshening up before tonight. I want to be and look my best just for you. Time is soon, belle, don't be nervous, don't be late, and don't hold back. Joue avec moi ce soir. Blessé moi, Mon Amour!
Celeste then closes the door and the music starts back up as the camera fades out...

Match #2: Event Horizon vs. The Ding-Dongs
Alex Lawson: The following contest...is a tag team match scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first...at a combined weight of 90 lbs soaking wet…Ding Dong #1 and Ding Dong #2...The Ding-Dongs!
Tripp Bennett: The Ding-Dongs haven't seen in-ring action since Homecoming.
Alivia Takasoto: They are a busy team after taking the offer of employment by Cass Baumer. I'm surprised they are well enough to compete tonight!
Alex Lawson: And their opponents...
"Event Horizon" by Xtrullor begins to play to cheers from the crowd as Loree Merope appears onstage with "Flashfire" Roni Foster and Autum Daise on either side dressed in their ring gear. Loree has mic in hand and holds her hand up briefly to calm the crowd as she begins to speak with her Northern English accent.
Loree Merope: Cut the music, please... Thank you. I appreciate the display of adoration from our fans here tonight and I appreciate the opportunity given us by Fusion General Manager: Kai Morgan. I have followed this brand closely in order to consider the Zion promotion for my clients right here.
The crowd cheers again as Loree takes a brief break from what she is saying. She begins to lightly pace the stage while talking. Her team stays back looking ready to take on a challenge.
Loree Merope: Now, there are some things I am not in agreement with, whether it is how they handle title shots here with allowing the talent to put up open challenges or giving well-known names who are newly signed a chance at bigger opponents or even title shots. It's fine, if that's how this place wants to do business, I'm not on the board of directors, so I have no say on the matter. Still, I was expecting Fusion management to give us better opponents than the Ding-Dongs tonight. I guess if you don't have a high reputation, you must needs start at the bottom. Very well, then, I suppose we will have to start at the VERY bottom. However... Mr. Morgan and I had a meeting earlier and, while I couldn't change the opposition tonight, I was able to increase the challenge of tonight's match.
Alivia Takasoto: I'm not sure the Ding-Dongs should feel thrilled at how Loree has cut down their competition tonight. Should Event Horizon lose tonight, what does that say about her team?
Tripp Bennett: She must either be cocky or confident. So tonight's match is going to be changed?
Loree Merope: This match has officially been made a Tornado Tag, therefore both Ding Dong #1 and Ding Dong #2 can compete in the ring together at the same time against my team. You have not be formally introduced... Ding-Dongs, these two are Autumn Daise and "Flashfire" Roni Foster: Event Horizon!
The crowd cheers with excitement as Loree walks down the ramp with her team. She stands ringside while Autumn and Roni climb through the ropes sizing up their competition.
Loree Merope: Tonight's EXHIBITION match will be our first victory on Fusion, mark my words. Oh... and enjoy the rest of the show, everyone.
With that, Loree hands her mic off to the attendant and yells some instructions to her team.
Autumn immediately charges in at Ding Dong #1 while Roni does the same with Ding Dong #2. Tandem Dropkicks send both Ding-Dongs to the mat. The two women waste no time at all as Autumn picks up Ding Dong #1 and Snapmares him into a reverse chinlock. Roni has Ding Dong #2 pushed to the corner as she repeatedly stomps him as he falls down into the seated position propped up against the bottom turnbuckle. Ding Dong #2 continues to take stomps as only the Ding-Dongs can do until Roni finally relents her attack.
Ding Dong #1 is irish whipped by Autumn over to Roni who turns and catches him in a tie up, then transitions behind him. Roni goes for an Atomic Drop which lifts Ding Dong # 1 up high into the air before he crashes down onto the knee holding his backside and stunned for a moment mid-ring. Roni then hits the ropes behind him and delivers a basement dropkick to the ass sending him toppling through the middle rope to the outside. Roni then goes back to Ding Dong #2 while Autumn Daise quickly climbs through the ropes, turns around, and slingshots through the air delivering a Moonsault which hits Ding Dong #1 knocking him down just as he was getting to his feet.
Meanwhile, in the ring, Roni has knocked Ding Dong #2 down and has him in a figure-4 headlock. His legs are flailing about aimlessly as he tries to fight the pain. Autumn has made her way back into the ring and takes Ding Dong #2's legs delivering a figure-4 leglock completing the 4 by 4!!! Ding Dong #2 tries to hold on, but ultimately taps out.
Just as the ref is about to call for the bell, Autumn leaps up and starts arguing with him while Roni heads outside to recover Ding Dong #1. Once Roni is back in with Ding Dong #1, Autumn stops arguing and ascends the top rope. Roni whips Ding Dong #1 towards the corner as Autumn dives off and catches him with a Tornado DDT modifying it mid-way into a Facebreaker Knee Smash! The impact causes Ding Dong #1 to spring up to his feet in a daze as Roni comes up to him, turns him around, and delivers a Headlock DDT! With that, the Dawning finisher is completed and both women get the cover at the same time while Autumn signals for the ref to make the count. The ref is reluctant at first to do so as the match is technically already over, but he eventually does as requested.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!

Alex Lawson: The winners of this match...Event! Horizon!
Tripp Bennett: Event Horizon get a good win here tonight, but the question remains: Will they be able to deliver against a veteran tag team like Regulators, Inc. next week?
Alivia Takasoto: Those crazy ass cowgirls have pioneered tag gold before, but Event Horizon has shown here that they have what it takes to stop their gold rush in it’s tracks!
Foster and Daise celebrate with Merope in the ring as we fade out!
The shot goes backstage where Jordan Majors is shown sitting in the training room with a trainer holding an ice pack against her left shoulder. Meliana Rodrigo steps in with a microphone and the camera centers on them.
Meliana Rodrigo: I'm backstage with the first person we know will be fighting in our tiebreaker later tonight to dertermine a shot at becoming the first Zion Viral Champion, Jordan Majors. Now Jordan, you look like you went through hell out there against Celeste... will you be ready for that match later.
Jordan looks at Meliana and then wipes her right arm across her face.
Jordan Majors: I don't care who makes it to that final. Whether it's Mai or Lass. I'll be ready. And I WILL punch my ticket to the final.
Meliana Rodrigo: Even after everything you and Celeste put each other through?
Jordan reaches for a towel and winces as she put it over her right shoulder.
Jordan Majors: Even after everything, Meliana. I came to Zion for this very purpose. To beat Celeste. And then to become the Viral Champion. I'm a step closer to that now. But I still need two more wins. But let me be clear. I'm not even gonna begin to look past this next match. I've been in this business long enough to know the heartbreak that comes with thinking past a match. I've worked my ass off to get to this point. I can't let this opportunity slip away. For the last several years... I've--
Jordan stops herself and looks down. She seems a bit emotional as she continues.
Jordan Majors: I've messed up a lot of opportunities. I've fallen short. But Zion is gonna be where that all changes. I'm here because this is a fresh start for me in this business. It's a new chance to create something for myself. And I know damn well that everyone is here looking to do that same thing for themselves, whether they want to admit that out loud or not. But for me, this next match means everything. And if... when I win that, I'm not gonna let anything stop me from becoming the Viral Champion.
Meliana Rodrigo: I did want to ask, with Celeste...
Jordan Majors: I just beat her. What else?
Meliana Rodrigo: You said for weeks you wanted to put her to sleep. You had no choice but to pin her to win.
Jordan sighs and shakes her head.
Jordan Majors: The primary objective was win and advance. Survive another day. That was far more important. I'm sure I'll get my chance with Celeste. But for now, I have to focus on what really matters. And that's closing this show with a win.
Meliana Rodrigo: Thanks, Jordan! Back to Tripp and Alivia.
Match #3: Mai Blackman vs Lass Haliday
Viral Championship Tournament Match

And her opponent...from Chicago, Illinois...weighing in at 135 lbs...Mai! Blackman!
Tripp Bennett: These two haven’t met in the ring since Invasion: New York! Blackman came close, but she wasn’t able to put out the Oncoming Storm! How do you feel about Blackman’s chances here, Alivia?
Alivia Takasoto: Since that match in New York, Blackman has become more driven and focused than ever! I have a feeling we’re gonna be looking at a much different result tonight!
The match begins, yet these two are as calm as ever! They look across to the person sharing the ring with them, knowing they’re about to destroy one another! They slowly approach each other before locking up in the center of the ring! Blackman takes control early on, getting Haliday into a Waistlock! Haliday quickly escapes however, pulling Blackman away! She takes advantage, going for a Big Boot, but NO! Blackman slips underneath it, getting a hold on the kicking leg and picking the other to send Haliday backfirst to the ground! She mounts The Oncoming Storm, tearing her apart with a vicious set of Palm Strikes and Forearms! Eventually, Blackman relieves her strikes, getting up to deliver a few knees to the midsection of Haliday before going for a pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Haliday! Blackman attempts to capitalize instantly, going for a Peruvian Necktie, but NO! Haliday immediately reverses, twisting her opponent around before catching her into a Backslide Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Blackman, who rolls over right back onto Haliday with a Peruvian Necktie! Haliday struggles to escape, reaching for the ropes to no avail! She eventually starts to push forward, hoping to offset the balance! Blackman is taken aback as Haliday is managing to push her backward! Eventually, the two shift backwards, with Haliday expecting to be able to escape, but NO! Blackman transitions right into a Guillotine Choke! Haliday seems to be in even more trouble now! She pushes forward even more, bringing Blackman’s shoulders to the mat!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Blackman gets the shoulders up, wrenching in the Guillotine even more! Haliday looks as though she ‘s fading, but NO! She gets to a knee with Blackman in tow, managing to lift her up as she makes it completely to her feet! She gets Blackman off of her with a Back Body Drop! Blackman and Haliday both scramble to their feet, both of them looking to capitalize! Haliday is the first to strike, hitting a stiff Jab to Blackman’s jaw, before capitalizing with an even stiffer Hook! She catches Blackman with a Knee to the gut, before lifting her up and driving her to the mat with a Powerbomb! Haliday with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Kick out by Blackman, but Haliday isn’t finished with her! She lifts Blackman to her feet, before lifting her up for The Cold Snap, but NO! Blackman reverses midlift with an Arm Drag! The two make it to their feet and once again, Haliday goes to swing first, but Blackman reverses with the CHICAGO KISS!! Before Haliday can recover from it though, Blackman is right back on her, hitting her with THE SYSTEM!! Haliday is out cold, and Blackman goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...Mai! Blackman!
Tripp Bennett: Huge win for Mai Blackman here, and a second example of someone getting revenge on an enemy!
Alivia Takasoto: She moves on to face Jordan Majors to break the tie in Side A, but later tonight we get to see who each of them are facing!
Blackman has her hand raised by the referee, looking down on Haliday before we go to commercial!
WINNER: MAI BLACKMAN (VIA PINFALL)
