Zion Wrestling Presents...Mayhem: Revival!

[Intern]

We cut directly to the Bell MTS Iceplex, jam pack with raving Zion fans as we cut over to the announcer’s desk!

Winter Mae: We have a lot of big matches going on here tonight! I can’t wait! It’s all too exciting!

Tommy Green: Well then let’s begin before you explode in your chair!

Match #1: Vanita Thompson vs Layla Aishe

Gateway Championship Match

James Buchanan: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall...and is to determine the INAUGURAL Zion Wrestling Gateway Champion!

You're a catastrophe

The one who's come to devastate

Catastrophist

We never had a chance

Catastrophist hits the PA as red and white lights shine. Vanita steps out on the ramp and stands there, taking in the view of the crowd. She heads toward the ring with a confident smirk across her face. Sliding into the ring, the lights come back up. She poses for the crowd before focusing up the ramp awaiting whoever comes her way.

The opening tune of "The Mummers Dance (Remix)" by Lorena McKennet starts to play on the speakers. A few seconds into the song Layla steps out from behind the curtain in a long dress on which hangs several jeweled tassels alongside her many necklaces. Layla smiles to the cheers and adulation of the audience as she goes to several fans on the way down to give blessings to them. When she reaches ringside, she climbs the stairs and steps under the second rope to enter the ring where she poses for the audience once more. As her song fades out she removes the necklaces and her dress to reveal her ring gear underneath. She hands her removed items to an attendant at ringside and prepares for her match.

James Buchanan: Introducing first...from New Orleans, Louisiana...weighing in at 122 lbs…”The Shadow Sorceress”...Vanita! Thompson!

And her opponent...from Cairo, Egypt...weighing in at 120 lbs...Layla! Aishe!

The referee shows the belt to both competitors before lifting it over his head, showing it to the fans in attendance! He hands it off to the timekeepers before calling for the bell!

The bell sounds off, with the two competitors circling the canvas around one another! They draw closer before locking into a collar-and-elbow tie up! Aishe and Thompson struggle for control, with the former gaining the upper hand, slipping behind and applying a Waistlock! Thompson pries at Aishe’s hands, trying to get her to relieve her grip! But Aishe is adamant, clenching the lock in tighter before drilling her to the ground with a German Suplex! She bridges for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Thompson! The two return to their feet simultaneously, before immediately getting into another collar-and-elbow! The struggle between the two doesn’t seem so even at this point, as the hot-headed Thompson is now forcing her way into power in the exchange! She transitions into a Top Wristlock, bringing Aishe down to a knee! Before she can even think about regaining her leverage however, Thompson acts fast, slipping a boot behind Aishe’s calf and sinking her other knee to the mat! Aishe is left completely defense in this hold, giving Thompson ample time to release it and immediately smack her upside the head with a Roundhouse Kick! The strike sends Aishe to the mat, as Thompson goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO..!

Kick out by Aishe! Thompson stays on her, though, dragging her to her feet, before using the arm to pull her into a Clothesline! She pulls her up again by the arm, pushing her out and back in for a second Clothesline! She pulls her back up again, clearly going for the hattrick, but this time Aishe ducks underneath it, breaking Thompson’s grasp of her in the process! She turns Thompson around, looking to regain her momentum, but The Shadow Sorceress quickly cuts her off with a boot to the gut! She pulls Aishe into position, before lifting her up for a Vertical Suplex! But Aishe escapes, slipping behind the back of Thompson before taking her down with a Backstabber! Aishe runs the ropes, looking to capitalize on the prone Thompson! But she rolls off of her back, grabbing the leg of Aishe and bringing her back first into the mat, before going for a quick pin while she’s laid out in front of her!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Aishe! The two both return to their feet before charging at each other! Thompson goes for a Clothesline, but Aishe ducks underneath, going low and using her opponent to change direction! She hits the adjacent ropes, catching Thompson off-guard from the side with a Dropkick!! Thompson falls out of the ring through the middle rope, giving Aishe a glimmer of opportunity! She hits the ropes and launches herself out of the ring towards Thompson with a Suicide Dive! But Thompson catches her out of mid-air, before taking advantage with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex to Aishe against the barricade! She slowly reaches her feet, before throwing Aishe back in the ring and going for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Aishe! She’s still in this! Thompson again stays on her opposition, getting Aishe to her feet and in position for a Neckbreaker, but NO! Aishe shifts the hold and rotates herself and Thompson all the way around! She uses her newfound positioning to prop Thompson onto her shoulders before dropping her face first to her knee for THE EGYPTIAN DREAM!! Aishe got all of the GTS!! She goes for a pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Thompson! Aishe is in shock, but she’s still ready to finish this! She stalks her prey, waiting for Thompson to get to her feet! When she does, Aishe goes for IN THE STA--NO! Thompson pushes Aishe away, before nailing her with THE SHADOW SEEKER!! The move nearly decapitates Aishe, but she’s not done, sending one more defiant hook across Thompson’s jaw before slumping to the mat! Thompson stumbles back into the ropes, clutching her jaw and looking down at the fallen Aishe, the rage in her eyes growing more and more by the second! She rushes her opponent, getting Aishe up and nailing her with DIVINE INTERVENTION!! She sits beside a fallen Aishe, who’s still trying to reach out for Thompson to get back into this! But Thompson’s having none of it, getting Aishe back to her feet and hitting DIVINE INTERVENTION AGAIN!!! This time Aishe lies motionless, as Thompson goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!

James Buchanan: The winner of this match...and the INAUGURAL Zion Wrestling Gateway Champion...Vanita! Thompson!

Tommy Green: Vanita Thompson has done it!! She's the inaugural Gateway Champion!

Winter Mae: Yeah, but now is where the real challenge begins. She better stay sharp from this point on, because three months with that belt can instantly make her a #1 contender for the Zion Title!

Thompson gets to her feet over Aishe as the referee hands her the Gateway Championship belt! She lifts the belt over her head as the official raises her hand in victory!

WINNER: VANITA THOMPSON (VIA PINFALL)

NEW CHAMPION CROWNED

We cut backstage to find Meliana Rodrigo standing there with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face.

Meliana Rodrigo: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time! Captain Cosmo!

The camera pans out a little to reveal Captain Cosmo standing beside her with a cheesy grin on his face as he awkwardly waves into the camera.

Captain Cosmo: Ah yes! Hello fans of the Wrestling of Zion! Captain Cosmo here!

Cosmo then turns to Rodrigo.

Captain Cosmo: And hello, friend Meliana! Quite the pretty name you have, human!

The interviewer blushes slightly.

Meliana Rodrigo: Thank you… and welcome to Mayhem! You had quite the successful debut at episode ten against Pandora Navarro!

Captain Cosmo: Yes! He did! Did you watch it?!

Meliana Rodrigo: Of course!

Captain Cosmo: Amazing! It was over so quickly, if you blinked you would have missed it! It reminded Captain Cosmo of when he goes into lightspeed when travelling the cosmos!

Meliana Rodrigo: Well tonight is going to be quite the different experience as you shall be facing off against seven other competitors--

Captain Cosmo: SEVEN?!

Meliana Rodrigo: Yes, seven…

Captain Cosmo: My goodness! That is quite a lot of people who do the wrestling! And Captain Cosmo knows one of them! Friend Faye! She is quite the wonderful athlete!

Meliana Rodrigo: She is. The match is also to determine the number one contender to Tessa Whitmoyer’s National Championship.

Captain Cosmo: Ah yes! Captain Cosmo knows friend Tessa pretty well from the Twitter machine! And he would certainly like to become the champion of the nation as that would mean more money for Captain Cosmo to put towards locating the Cosmic Pug!

Meliana Rodrigo: Well, do you have a strategy going into this Battle Royal?

Cosmo shrugs.

Captain Cosmo: Don’t get eliminated and win! That strategy is full proof and can not be beaten! Captain Cosmo should know! He did the math!

Meliana Rodrigo: Well okay then… thank you for your time and good luck tonight!

Captain Cosmo: Thank you, friend Meliana!

Cosmo then gives the camera another awkward wave before he disappears off camera as we cut elsewhere.

With nothing but wind and distant traffic in the background, Faye Brown walks... well, waddles into frame stage left wearing a ridiculously oversized Montreal Expos jacket. You can barely see her due to how big the jacket is and how small she is by comparison, but Faye is visible. Which is important.

Faye Brown: "Happy belated Halloween. As you can see, I'm the world's largest Montreal Expos fan, literally. I'm not wrestling in this, as you all will see."

Brown nods her head. However, her nodding causes her to lose balance.

Faye Brown: "OK... OK, I'm good... so before I begin and before I fall over, lemme tell ya a story. So... I'm used to travelling by the seat of my pants, it used to just come with the territory of being a musician. I travelled to Miami on Saturday, right? Because that's where and when the Trick-Or-Treat Battle Royal was gonna be. I had to do that immediately after my match in NFW which was in Japan since NFW's doing this whole Japan tour until Christmas. You'll never believe how Logan and I got there, it makes me wanna vomit my guts up."

Brown, as best she can, performs the motion of firing something from a slingshot.

Faye Brown: "We got grabbed by a giant hand and got slingshotted from Sapporo to Fort Lauderdale. Logan and Logan's fuckin' Animaniacs shit, that's the only explanation I have for that. Only to come to find out later on in the day when we... y'know, actually GET to the arena for the show? The fucking show had been cancelled! So I slink my happy ass back to Japan while Logan goes to Milwaukee for Blazenwing Wrestling. That's where he transforms into a girl mid-match, which... w-which is just--that's just it's own bullshit. Only to be told "hey, Zion's show's not actually cancelled, guys, it's just been rescheduled, reshuffled, and moved from Miami. We need you in Winnipeg on the 3rd, so get here quick!"

The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow's toothy exaggerated grin recedes back to a look of "I am done with this shit."

Faye Brown: "So I have to take ANOTHER flight from Tokyo to Winnipeg. And it's the same bullshit: giant hand, giant slingshot, all that. Therefore, here I am outside of the home of the Winnipeg Jets, wanting to get a gastrectomy because I've flown at speeds that are just impossible. Sign me up to the Air Force at this point, I've seen speeds those guys wish they could dream about."

Brown chuckles a bit to herself.

Faye Brown: "But the worst part about all this? I've been givin' myself this run around when I could have just waited to fly from Sapporo to Winnipeg on Sunday the entire time. I could have sat back and ate fucking chicken McNuggets waiting for a Sunday, a Monday in Japan time, flight to get from there to here. I could have saved myself about 15,000 miles of travel if I'd been communicated to with more than just "whoop, show's cancelled!" and "whoop, show's in Winnipeg the following Wednesday!"

Faye waves her arms back and forth a bit, mostly to keep from falling over, but also to try wrapping up her story.

Faye Brown: "Look, ultimately? I'm the idiot. I should have just waited for official words. This is all my own fault. But travelling 20,000 miles is the kind of stupid thing some people are willing to do just to win a shot at winning their first title. Wearing a giant jacket that reads "EXPOS" and represents the entirely wrong area of Canada is, too. I'm jet-lagged as all hell, I'm sick to my fuckin' stomach, and I don't have anyone here to even talk to in either language, be it English or French. Ramenez les putains d'Expos, et tout ça."

Brown lightly nods to the camera.

Faye Brown: "Buuuuut I'm here. Gastrectomy aside, I'm hungry for my first title. I wish I were in Risa Jackson's, Vanita Thompson's, Layla Aishe's, or Addison Rayne's spots, I'd like my chances just that little bit more, but as it stands? I wouldn't wanna be Nami, Tony, Cosmo, Ian, Reina, Max, or Nina in this battle royal. Because despite all the things gone rogue since Trauma 50... between Logan transforming again and all the flight mileage I've racked up... there's still an eighth name in that battle royal, and she's gonna go do more than most of the rest of college football and actually win a National Championship once she's done throwing everyone and their mother over the top rope. Eat that, Texas."

The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow awkwardly eyes to her left for a second before squinting in confusion.

Faye Brown: "...I get the feeling Logan should be challenging for this kind of title, he'd have a lot more in the way of football jokes to make about that name. BUT ANYWAY, we're true north this time around. And that's the direction I'm going tonight after all's said and done. Let's fuckin' rock."

Brown gives devil horns to the camera before waddling towards the arena. She falls about halfway out of shot, giving out an OOF! before slowly getting up but failing to find her balance as the camera hard cuts to black.

Match #2: Tanja Devereaux vs Angel Kash

James Buchanan: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall!

Introducing first...from The Hamptons, New York...weighing in at 128 lbs…”The Trillion Dollar Princess”...Angel! Kash!

And her opponent...from New Orleans, Louisiana...weighing in at 120 lbs...Tanja! Devereaux!

Tommy Green: Tanja Devereaux coming down to the ring with a purpose tonight! Do you think she’ll be able to shut down Angel Kash’s crusade here?

Winter Mae: Well the lawsuit’s definitely still happening, but if Devereaux shutting Angel Kash up happens, I might eat my chair!

Kash comes into the match like a house of fire, rushing Devereaux with a Spinning Back Elbow! She mounts the Bayou Witch, taking her down with a series of strikes to the head until the referee pulls her away! The distance does very little to placate Kash however, as once the referee steps away from her, she gets right back on Devereaux with a series of stomps to her head and chest! She gets Devereaux to her feet by the hair, prompting the referee to ward her off with a five-count! However, Kash is caught off guard long enough for Devereaux to come back with a Forearm to the side of the head! She quickly follows up with a kick to Kash’s gut before dropping her with Gutwrench Suplex! Devereaux with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Kash, but Devereaux stays on top of her! She gets Kash to her feet before propping her onto her shoulders for a Death Valley Driver! But Kash escapes, sending a flurry of wild elbows to the side of Devereaux’s head to get her to relieve her grip! Once grounded again, Kash immediately clutches at the hair of Devereaux, pulling her down for a Neckbreaker! The crowd boos this blatant showing of unsportsmanlike conduct, as Kash walks around the ring with her arms raised. She steps up onto the chest on Devereaux, placing one foot on her midsection and the other just below her neck! With one last taunt to the fans, Kash jumps up and plants both knees into the torso of Devereaux, making a hand-dusting gesture as she stays on top of her for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Devereaux, much to the surprise and chagrin of Kash! She mounts Devereaux once more, landing close-fisted punch after close-fisted punch to the top of her head as the referee tries to control the violence! His attempts are rendered moot however, as Kash continues to lay in on Devereaux! She finally stops at the insistence of the referee, only to chastise the official for “having something against her”. She stops her verbal beratement in favor of going to attack Devereaux, but when Kash tries pulling her to her feet once again, The Bayou Witch returns the favor with a stiff, close-fisted Punch to her ribs! Kash is sent staggering back into the corner, to which Devereaux responds by catching up to her with a Running Splash! Oddly enough, as Kash hits the turnbuckle, she inconspicuously has an arm pinned behind her back! Devereaux pays this no mind as she follows up by pulling Kash out of the corner and throwing her to the mat with an Exploder Suplex! By doing this, the pad tied to the top turnbuckle is sent flying out of place and to ringside!

Kash sits up in recoil from the rough landing on her back, giving Devereaux the chance to easily pull her back to her feet! But Kash counters, swatting Devereaux’s hands away and going for a strike! Devereaux counters that however, blocking the right hand coming her way and following up with a Roundhouse Kick to Kash! The shot leaves Kash stunned and on her feet, giving Devereaux the chance to get her in position and drop her with HOODOO!! The Straightjacket Neckbreaker connects! Devereaux with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Kash! However, this doesn’t phase Devereaux, who’s ready to end the match! She gets Kash to her feet, before setting her up on her shoulders for VooDoo! But before she can fully position her for the move, Kash sends a few shots to Devereaux’s head, causing her to relieve her grip, before pushing her from behind into the corner! The exposed turnbuckle makes direct contact with Devereaux’s temple, driving her straight to the mat as her eyes immediately begin to glaze over! Kash looks down with a forced and clearly faked look of shock, before pulling Devereaux’s now dead weight up and planting her with THE BUYOUT!! Angel Kash with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!

James Buchanan: The winner of this match...Angel! Kash!

Tommy Green: Through some unsavory means, Angel Kash fends off Tanja Devereaux tonight!

Winter Mae: Trust me, Tommy! After a victory like this, I doubt Angel’s heard the last of The Bayou Witch!

Kash rolls out of the ring to preemptively avoid Devereaux! She rushes up the ramp and celebrates as we fade to commercial!

WINNER: ANGEL KASH (VIA PINFALL)

[Intern]

We come back from our commercial break to see all the participants in tonight's Battle Royal are already in the ring. All eight of the competitors are sizing each other up, waiting in anticipation for the bell ring. Just then, Kai Morgan’s music hits!

Tommy Green: What’s Kai Morgan doing here on Mayhem? I thought he was in charge of Fusion!

Winter Mae: I don’t know, Tommy! But I have a feeling we’re about to find out!

Morgan steps out onto the stage, microphone in hand, before hushing the audience in attendance.

Kai Morgan: Yes, yes! The one thing you thought you’d never see. Kai Morgan has ARRIVED on the Mayhem brand! In a way...

Morgan pauses, before returning the microphone to his lips.

Kai Morgan: See, I took some time out of my busy schedule because due to some unforeseen circumstances, we needed a seat change over on the red brand. Which is why I’m here to announce to all these fans, and especially those currently in the ring, that I am the new interim General Manager of Wednesday Night Fusion!

The crowd give Morgan a mixed reaction to this shocking news. They don't quite know what to make of this development.

Kai Morgan: Now since I’m gonna be in charge here for the foreseeable future, I wanna start off my tenure with a bang. Quite frankly, there are a million ways to crown a new #1 Contender for the National Title! But there’s only so many times that a match like this can be made truly interesting! Which is why I’ve decided that this match will now be contested for...The Mayhem Chance Briefcase!

Kai shows off the briefcase, the likes of which makes the eyes of everyone looking on in the ring widen.

Kai Morgan: Now with all that out of the way. Let’s see who will gain an even BIGGER opportunity here tonight!

Kai makes his exit before the referee calls for the bell!

Match #3: Nami Megumi vs Ian Dempsey vs Faye Brown vs Reina Mendoza vs Anthony Cross vs Nina vs Captain Cosmo vs Maximus Dempsey

Mayhem Chance Briefcase Battle Royal

Chaos immediately erupts throughout the ring, with all eight competitors eager to throw each other out of the ring! On one side of the ring, Faye Brown and Nina get into it, with Brown throwing a Step-Up Enzigiri Nina’s way! She ducks underneath it, getting Brown into a Wheelbarrow position before backing into the ropes and throwing her over with a German Suplex! Brown clings onto the middle rope to stay in this, her right foot just inches away from the ground, before pulling herself back up to the apron! Nina sees this, and attempts to bring her entirely to the ground with a clubbing blow! But Brown reverses with a Kick to the side of the head that sends Nina staggering back, before slingshotting back into the ring with a Spear! Brown rolls back to her feet, with Nina slowly doing the same! Brown takes advantage, sending Nina into the corner with a Dropkick! She follows up with a Running Knee into the corner, before running her across the ring with Bulldog! With the ring as crowded as it is, Brown manages to clip Ian Dempsey across the face with her boot as she jumps for the move!

Meanwhile, Maximus Demspey and Captain Cosmo are in a battle on the other side of the ring! Cosmo is in trouble, with Dempsey pressing the Captain over his head, getting ready to launch him to the floor at ringside! But just then, Nami Megumi intervenes, sending a kick to the back of Dempsey’s leg that sends him down to a knee! He relieves his hold of Cosmo, and with a slight look and a nod, he and Megumi decide to work together! Dempsey gets back to his feet, only to be met with an Enziguri by Megumi! The shot sends him back to his knees, just in time for Cosmo to strike with a Penalty Kick! Dempsey leans backward, leaving him open to an Axe Kick to the chest by Megumi that sends him all the way to the mat! The two work together to get Dempsey up and throw him out of the ring over the top rope! But Dempsey reverses, throwing them over the ropes instead! The two both cling to the top rope before finding their footing on the apron, only to see Dempsey coming through the middle rope to send them both to the ground with his shoulders! But the two both dodge the charging attack, before running up and hitting a Bicycle Kick to both sides of Dempsey’s head as he stays between the ropes!

Meanwhile, Reina Mendoza has her mitts on Faye Brown! She has Brown up, looking for a Chokeslam, but just then something catches her eye! She lets go of Brown, opting instead to approach Anthony Cross! The two giants stand face-to-face in the center of the ring, drawing the most attention in spite of the chaos ensuing around them! The two almost come to blows, before Nina comes up and strikes Mendoza from behind, sending her to a knee! She strikes the back again and again and AGAIN, hoping to dismiss the biggest competitor of the match early! This does little to placate Mendoza however, who catches a fifth strike from Nina before transitioning into a Belly-to-Belly Suplex right over the top rope, sending her to the ground below!

James Buchanan: Nina has been eliminated!

Mendoza immediately gets up from the move, rushing straight at Cross as the two begin to trade strikes in unison! Meanwhile, Ian Dempsey goes up against Faye Brown! The two are evenly matched until Dempsey sends Brown retreating towards the ropes with a close-fisted punch to the gut! He takes advantage, running the ropes and going for a Running Clothesline to send Brown out of the ring! But Brown reverses, Back Body Dropping Dempsey over the top rope and onto the apron! She proceeds to walk away, thinking Dempsey is dismissed, but he pops up and pulls her over the ropes by her hair! The two are now on the apron as they battle to stay alive in this match! Dempsey looks to have an upper hand, sending a Forearm to Brown’s gut before getting her in position for a Falcon Arrow! But Brown reverses, sending a few punches into Dempsey’s gut to keep him at bay, before hitting a Roundhouse Kick to the side of his head that nearly knocks him out cold! He stumbles on the apron, before Captain Cosmo hits the ropes right next to Dempsey, unintentionally knocking him to the floor!

James Buchanan: Ian Dempsey has been eliminated!

Cosmo rebounds right into a ONE HANDED SPINEBUSTER from Maximus Dempsey! Cosmo rolls to the edge of the ring to avoid any other attacks, but Nami Megumi remains stubborn! She launches herself at Dempsey taking a SPEAR for her efforts! Dempsey gets her up for The Nuclear Bomb, but Megumi still isn’t letting up, getting enough air to pop herself onto the back of Dempsey’s shoulders before attempting a Reverse Hurricanrana! But Dempsey catches her in the act, carrying Megumi legs first over his shoulders towards the ropes! But before he can swing her out of the ring, Anthony Cross intervenes! He kicks him in the gut, causing Dempsey to release Megumi, before nailing him with the DEATH PENALTY DDT!! Dempsey is down, though not for long! Cross gets the big man to his feet, before quickly ejecting him from the ring!

James Buchanan: Maximus Dempsey has been eliminated!

Cross looks down at Dempsey, reveling in his handiwork, before turning around right into Big Boot from Reina Mendoza! She beats down on Cross with a bevy of strikes, before waiting for Cross to return to his feet! When he does, Mendoza runs the ropes and cracks him with a CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! She gets up, hoping to capitalize on her signature, but Captain Cosmo intervenes, sending a strike to Mendoza’s back! Cosmo is caught completely off-guard however, when Mendoza puts her hand over Cosmo’s face and pushes him to the mat! Cross is able to recover an capitalize by this point, getting Mendoza in position for the Death Penalty! But Mendoza doesn’t go down! She instead lifts Cross off his feet mid-grapple, before getting him in proper position and tossing him over the rope and to the floor with a Fallaway Slam!

James Buchanan: Anthony Cross has been eliminated!

Mendoza looks down at Cross and begins to gloat, taunting him for the failed attempt at laying her out! She however, is surprised to turn around and see that Faye Brown, Nami Megumi, and Captain Cosmo are all standing in the ring, looking right at her! The three rush Mendoza using strike after strike to try and send her down as a group! But nothing works on The Tejana Giantess, as she sends all three competitors away with a huge shove! Brown and Megumi fall to the mat, but Cosmo is still standing, attempting to get the jump on Mendoza as she gets back up! She catches a punch by Cosmo however, using his arm to pull him towards the ropes, before sending him over with a Clothesline! He lands on the apron, prompting Mendoza to snicker before stepping out onto the apron through the middle rope! She lifts Cosmo in position, before hitting him with CRASH & BURN RIGHT ONTO THE APRON!! Cosmo lies still on the hardest part of the ring, before Mendoza uses her foot to push him to the floor!

James Buchanan: Captain Cosmo has been eliminated!

Mendoza smuggly steps through the ropes to re-enter the ring! But the moment she sets a foot down on the canvas, Faye Brown immediately and emphatically goes for a bevy of strikes to her back! Mendoza pushes her away, but before she can continue her efforts of re-entering the ring, Nami Megumi steps in, delivering a Dropkick across the face of Mendoza! Megumi tries getting Mendoza to her feet, but she reverses, throwing her over the top rope and onto the apron! Meadoza throws a clothesline to finish off Megumi, but she ducks it! She sends a Forearm to Mendoza;s face, before Brown takes her down with a feint Roll-Up, before swinging her foot straight into her temple! Brown ducks down and rolls onto the apron just as Megumi jumps over the top rope and back into the ring to hit the TSUNAMI ON MENDOZA!! Brown takes to the top rope and follows up Megumi’s attack with AN ELBOW DROP!! The two work together to get Mendoza to her feet, before pushing her towards the ropes! In one last act of strength and defiance, Mendoza turns around and puts a hand around the throat of both Brown and Megumi! But the two escape this, both drilling Mendoza with dueling Superkicks to send her tumbling over the top rope and to the floor!

James Buchanan: Reina Mendoza has been eliminated!

Brown and Megumi both buckle to the mat after the grueling match they’ve had so far! The two slowly rise to their feet, realizing the position they’re both in! They circle the ring around each other, ready for a fight! Megumi is the first to strike, going for a Bicycle Kick! But Brown ducks underneath, kicking the joint behind Megumi’s knee to send her to the mat! She runs the ropes, before going for the Shining Wizard! But Megumi sidesteps it, dropping an elbow on Brown as she lands backfirst on the mat! Megumi tries getting Brown to her feet, but she reverses, hitting her with a Bell Clap, before getting her in position for the Riot Maker! Megumi pushes Brown away however, decking her with STORIES FROM FAIRYTALES when she tries to come back! Megumi isn’t finished yet, however, making the climb to the top rope! She waits for Brown to get to her feet, before going for Before The Lullaby Plays! But Brown dodges the Diving Stunner, leaving Megumi to crash to the mat! She pops back to her feet, charging after Brown, but she low-bridges the ropes, sending Megumi over the top rope and to the floor! She’s eliminated!

James Buchanan: Nami Megumi has been eliminated!

Brown drops to her knees, unable to believe what she’s just done! She got through seven other people, and now she has the opportunity of a lifetime!

But something seems...off…

Brown begins to notice that her music hasn’t been playing, or that the referee hasn’t handed her the briefcase. Remembering a similar thing happening a while ago, Brown looks around the ring, checking to see if there’s anyone lying in wait to come back in and steal her chance! No one is out there outside of a fallen Nami Megumi however! Puzzled, she looks to the timekeeper's area, trying to figure out what’s going on until…

Tommy Green: Wha-what’s TAURUS doing here?

Winter Mae: This entire night has escaped me Tommy! I have no idea which way is up anymore! But in any case, he’s coming down to the ring with a purpose!

TAURUS rushes down to the ring, much to the surprise of Faye Brown! She tries to prepare herself for what’s coming, but she’s too weakened from the match that just commenced! TAURUS slides into the ring under the bottom rope as Brown rushes straight for him! Her efforts would prove to be in vain as she immediately gets spiked with the BIG BULL CHARGE!! THE SPEAR CONNECTS!! He returns to his feet, giving a smug smile to the now booing fans! He gets Brown to her feet, before bringing her right back down to the mat with a EL TORO DE LA MUERTE!! He grabs Brown up off the mat, before easily tossing her over the top rope and to the floor!

James Buchanan: The winner of this match...and the holder of The Mayhem Chance Briefcase...TAURUS!!

Tommy Green: TAURUS has done it! I don’t know how but he has! He now holds with him the opportunity to fight for the Zion Championship at any time and anywhere!

Winter Mae: This is the slimiest thing I've ever seen anyone do! Faye Brown worked hard for that win! She should be the one holding that briefcase right now!

Tommy Green: Winter, calm down--

Winter Mae: No Tommy! I won’t! TAURUS crossed over to Mayhem and the first thing he did was steal the opportunity of a lifetime from eight hardworking competitors! This is bullshit!

TAURUS takes the briefcase from the referee, his giant hand not even able to get around the handle of the briefcase! He lifts it up in the air to a chorus of boos and thrown trash from the crowd as we fade out!

WINNER: TAURUS

Match #4: Ethan Knight vs Cliff Maxwell

Written by Jordan

James Buchanan: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall!

Introducing first...from Toronto, Canada...weighing in at 255 lbs…”Simply The Greatest”...Cliff! Maxwell!

And his opponent...from Beverly Hills, California...weighing in at 214 lbs...Ethan! Knight!

Knight and Maxwell come straight to the middle of the ring and jaw at each other. Cliff is right in Ethan’s face as he smiles ear to ear. Something Maxwell says gets a push from Knight, and Cliff responds with an eye poke! The crowd boos loudly and he takes it in as the official warns him. Knight recovers quickly and wraps his hands around Cliff for a back suplex. Maxwell is fighting it off and standing his ground. He throws an elbow back, but Knight ducks it.

MAIN EVENT: Risa Jackson vs. Addison Rayne vs. Ashlynn Cassidy ©

Zion Wrestling Championship Match

James Buchanan: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall...and it is for The Zion Wrestling Championship!

Fog rolls across the entrance ramp as "Involve All" begins. A silhouette steps out onto the stage as the spotlights begin to flash erratically around the arena before focusing all at once on the SuperNova Risa Jackson. She throws back the hood of her jacket with a maniacal yell, looking around before making her way to the ring. She slides under the bottom rope, running the ropes before coming to a stop in the center of the ring, dragging her hands down her face as she stares into the hardcam before making her way into her own corner, waiting for the match to begin.

Addison Rayne comes out from the back with a huge smile on her face! She waves excitedly at the crowd as she makes her way to the top of the ramp. Once there, Addison blows kisses to the adoring fans, soaking in all the cheers. After a moment, she finally runs down the ramp, high fiving people as she goes. When she reaches the ring, she runs around it once, high fiving more fans. Then, she finally slides into the ring and stands there waving at the crowd.

The lights go down and a spotlight appears on the stage. The music starts to play as Ashlynn appears on the stage/at the top of the ramp. As the tambourines kick in she turns her head and winks as the camera is zoomed in. The camera zooms out as she makes her way to the ring. The spotlight follows her as she walks. If she does not come out first, she extends her arm forward in a finger gun zeroed in on her adversary (or adversaries). Getting on the apron she again takes her time to soak in the spotlight. She rubs her boots on the apron and flips her hair before getting in the ring. Ashlynn bows to each side of the ring except one, all with an expression of cocky confidence. If she is out first, she leans against the ropes opposite the entranceway and makes a finger gun gesture toward the ramp as the lights come back up. There’s a bounce to her as she is eager to get underway.

James Buchanan: Introducing first...the challenger...weighing in at 120 lbs…”The SuperNova”...RISA! JACKSON!

Up next...from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee...weighing in at 119 lbs...ADDISON! RAYNE!

And their opponent...from Calgary, Alberta, Canada...weighing in at 127 lbs...she is the Zion Wrestling Champion...ASHLYNN! CASSIDY!

The bell rings and all these three competitors can do is size each other up! They shuffle around the ring, waiting for the first person to strike so that they can act accordingly! Eventually, Jackson is the first to move, catching Rayne with a European Uppercut! This act opens up the floodgates, with Cassidy immediately responding by rushing The SuperNova! The two strike each other in unison, each strike enraging them more and more as they beat each other down! Jackson initially gains the other hand, jumping up and laying a knee into Cassidy’s face! She takes advantage of the newfound opening, laying into a now kneeling Cassidy with a series of stiff Forearms! She gets the champ up and in position for a DDT, but just then Addison Rayne intervenes, striking her across the back!

Rayne turns Jackson around and gets an arm around the head, driving her to the mat with a Running Bulldog! She follows up, running the ropes and going for a Leg Drop! She notices a lack of movement coming from Jackson, prompting her to capitalize once more, taking to the ropes to go for a Lionsault! But Jackson gets the knees up, driving them straight into the midsection of Rayne! She recoils from the shot, but hardly has time to writhe in pain before Jackson gets her up and pulls her arm into a Lifting Knee! Jackson keeps a hold on the wrist of Rayne, transitioning her grasp into her fingers, manipulating the joints in each of them as Rayne cries out in agony! Jackson revels in her current work, placing a foot on the head of Rayne as she looks out to the crowd, smiling and pointing at her with “Get a load of this one” attitude to her! She starts to unload a bevy of stomps to Raynes head while she’s trapped, before dropping a knee over the back of her neck! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Pin broken up Cassidy! She takes advantage of the pinning position of Jackson, laying into her with a series of Muay Thai Knees to the side of Jackson’s midsection! She continues to go in on her, before Jackson pushes away to get some distance! Cassidy rushes right back at her as she tries getting to her feet, leveling her with a Chop Block! She gets Jackson back to her feet, looking for a Twisting Neckbreaker! But Jackson reverses, manipulating Cassidy into position before hitting a Backstabber! Cassidy rolls onto the apron, as Rayne re-enters this match! She smacks Jackson upside the head with a set of Forearms, before sending her into the corner with a Dropkick! Rayne seizes her opportunity, running towards the corner for a Body Splash to Jackson! But she dodges it, pushing Rayne into the corner and violently smashing her head against the top turnbuckle to send her to a seated position in the corner! Jackson steps back, before running towards Rayne with a Meteora! But Rayne catches it, before throwing Jackson over the top rope! Her momentum doesn’t stop however, with Jackson swinging around a drilling a now seated Ashlynn Cassidy against the ringpost with the Meteora instead! Cassidy slumps to the ground at ringside, before Jackson steps down! She turns around, only to caught by a Suicide Dive from a flying Rayne to the outside! Both competitors crash into the barricade!

Rayne gets to her feet before dragging Jackson back into the ring under the bottom rope! She re-enters the ring right next to the corner, before waiting for Jackson to make it back to her feet! She rushes at Jackson before hitting the RAYNE STORM!! Addison Rayne with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Kick out by Jackson, though Rayne remains undeterred! She takes to the top rope, looking to gain the title with the Rayne Drop! She launches off the ropes only to be caught out of midair with a Dropkick by Ashlynn Cassidy! She hits the mat hard, yet hardly has time to reel in pain before Cassidy gets her up and in position to hit the RB SPECIAL!! She grapevines for the Crucifix Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Rayne! Cassidy is a bit taken aback by this! She gets Rayne to her feet, before getting her in a Ripcord position, possibly looking for Period, Peace! But just when she pushes Rayne out to pull her back in, Jackson re-enters the fray, nailing Cassidy with a Bicycle Kick to the side of the head! She and Rayne both fall to the mat, before Jackson gets Cassidy up and takes her to the mat with FOR THE KING!! Jackson goes for the pin! She’s got the match in hand!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Cassidy! Jackson is now furious at the fact that this match hasn’t ended in her favor yet! She gets to her feet, waiting for Cassidy to get to her feet! She watches as the champ pulls herself off the ground! She’s completely defenseless as Jackson pops up and drops her with the TYPE I!!! JACKSON HITS THE CORKSCREW ROUNDHOUSE!! THIS MATCH IS OVER!! SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

NO!! Pin broken up by Addison Rayne!! All three competitors are down on the mat now! Each of them spent from what has been a hellacious match so far! Rayne is first to get up and capitalize, taking the legs of Jackson and locking her into the Figure 4!! Jackson is writhing in agony, reaching out of the ropes! He gets her hand closer and closer, before getting a grasp on the bottom rope! However, that does little to affect the hold, as the referee reminds Jackson that there are no rope breaks in this match! This news is capped off by Rayne beginning to arch her back, before getting Jackson completely trapped in the RAYNE BOW!! The Figure 8 is in, exacerbating Jackson’s pain! She puts a hand up! She just might tap!

But NO!! Ashlynn Cassidy jumps in with a Double Foot Stomp to the arched midsection of Rayne! She buckles to the mat, relieving the hold on Jackson as she rolls out of the ring! Cassidy immediately takes advantage and goes to end this match, grabbing Rayne off the mat and taking her down with PERIOD, PEACE!! Cassidy with the pin!

ONE…!

Much to Cassidy’s (and just about everyone’s) surprise, Marilyn Matthews’ music starts to play! She makes her way down to the ring with a purpose, before getting into the ring and standing right across from the champion, who’s clutching her belt to her chest! The positioning of the belt makes Matthews’ intentions more obvious as she transitions her stare from the eyes of Cassidy down to the title on her chest. We fade out as the two’s eyes are locked on one another!

WINNER: ASHLYNN CASSIDY (VIA PINFALL)
