Zion Wrestling Presents: War Games 2021

[Intern]

And NOW! Zion Wrestling Presents...War Games!

We enter into a large pyro set in a sold out Coca-Cola Coliseum! The stage is elaborately set for the occasion, with the standard titantron being replaced with a giant LED version of the crossing diamond cages from the War Games Logo! Each side has an entry tunnel tucked into it, each of which is lit in red and blue respectively!

Tripp Bennett: After a month of waiting, we’re finally here! Welcome to one of the biggest pay per views of the year! Welcome...to War Games! I’m Tripp Bennett here for Friday Night Fusion, along with my broadcast colleague, Alivia Takasoto!

Alivia Takasoto: What a huge night with a huge set of matches! We’re starting off hot here with Razzles Mars defending her YouTube Championship against Katie Powell! But before we get to that, let’s hear a word from the champ!



Earlier in the Day...

A web-exclusive video shows Razzles Mars arriving in the Coca-Cola Coliseum. She's got a pair of sunglasses perched onto the bridge of her nose, and she wears a Sailor Moon crewneck and a pair of form-fitting white jeans and pink sneakers on her feet. Her bag is rolling behind her, with a black, velvet-lined bag secured to the handle with two ties.

Meliana Rodrigo: Razzles! Long time, no see!

Razzles smiles, lifting the shades from her face and planting them onto the crown of her head.

Razzles Mars: How goes it, mate? Bring it in.

Razzles extended an arm, bringing in the interviewer for a casual hug.

Meliana Rodrigo: It's going great, but how are you? We haven't seen Strawberry Clobbler in a few weeks! Seems like Zion's gotten a little too comfortable without their YouTube Champion...

The British competitor smiles, tucking a piece of pink hair behind her ear.

Razzles Mars: That was a bit by design, innit? The YouTube Championship needed a bit of a refresher... something to truly make it feel like it was at home.

Meliana Rodrigo: Oh? Can we get a sneak peek at what you mean by that?

A hand defensively lingers over that black bag.

Razzles Mars: No peeking! It'll be worth the wait, though. I pinkie promise.

Meliana Rodrigo: You know tonight you're opening the show against Katie Powell... are you at all scared that what you've been working on the past few weeks is all for naught?

Razzles returns to her normal standing position when she's certain that Meliana is no longer going for the championship bag attached to her luggage.

Razzles Mars: No. Not really. Katie enjoys spending her time moping around, being miserable... she's been part of Zion Wrestling for over two months and instead of enjoying the moment, she loves to whinge and mope. To let her have my YouTube Championship? That doesn't fit her narrative of perpetual victim. I've seen people stretch out olive branches and offers of help to her... and she turns it down, because that doesn't allow her to be the nothing and nobody she seems determined to remind us she is every bloody day. If that's how she feels... who I am to stand in the way of that? She's coming into the Coca-Cola Coliseum that way... and I will see to it that she leaves that way.

Meliana Rodrigo: Is there any malice or ill-will that you have towards Katie?

Razzles Mars: Honestly?

The expression on Razzles' face shows that the returning champion is weighing her options... is honesty the best policy? Deciding it is, she shrugged her shoulders.

Razzles Mars: I have been given no reason to care about Katie. Katie doesn't even care about Katie. What I care about is the fact that she's in this match because she interrupted a bout between myself and Tessa. One people wanted to see! She took an opportunity to interrupt my match to handle her business with Tessa. Nothing would have changed had she waited until after the bell rang. She did that out of disrespect. Sure, there's a sense of danger in facing someone who has nothing to lose and everything to gain... but Katie has put herself and continues to put herself in that position. She may not like me... and being honest, I am indifferent to everything besides the disrespect she showed me... but I want the best for everyone. So, when I beat Katie tonight... and she has her inevitable pity party? She can count on me to bring the cake.

Meliana grins, watching as Razzles politely excuses herself, dragging the bag on wheels behind herself.





Alex Lawson: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall…

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson:...And it is for the Zion Wrestling YouTube! Championship!



Black Flame by Bury Tomorrow begins to play as Katie Powell storms out clutching her screw driver.

Alex Lawson: Introducing the challenger...from Wherever her car takes her...weighing in at 145 lbs…”The Forgotten One”...KATIE! POWELL!

With a cold emotionless look plastered across her face she walks to the ring and sets the tool under the turnbuckles before sliding into the ring.



A pulsing beat of light flickers the stage and the fans in hues of pink. It flashes, before the howling starting notes of "Strawberry Shake" by POP LEVI reverberate through the PA system.

AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The fans are on their feet, excitement roaring in the air. The pulsing flickers, as "Strawberry Shake" plays. Razzles steps past the curtain, a long, pink, glittering robe draped over her. The YouTube champion inevitably taking a moment to groove to her theme tune. She reaches into a pocket on the robe, tossing a handful of candies into the crowd before turning her back to the camera and to her opposition in the ring. Undoing the robe's sash around the waist, she gives a little shimmy to the garment. Letting it expose one shoulder before falling completely. Turning around, Razzles reveals an updated YouTube Championship! The strap is a bright pink, Razzles' favorite color. The sideplates ornamental with a peppermint swirl, and the main plate with a dripping fudge/sprinkle design on the top! Razzles unstrapping the belt from her waist and proudly displaying it over her head, the customized championship receiving an ovation from the crowd as well.

Alex Lawson: And introducing the reigning Zion Wrestling YouTube Champion, hailing from the Candy Kingdom, weighing in at 13,607.771 sugar packets... RAZZLES MAAAAAARS!

Razzles points to Lawson from the outside of the ring with a grin. Cheering the announcer on for his newfound comfort at Razzles' unique selection in how to weigh herself. She gives a few high fives to some nearby fans, clutching onto the customized title. She climbs the stairs, detaching the velcro of her pastel petticoat and letting it fall to the floor. Launching herself into the ring with an elegant twirl. She shares a hardened stare at Katie Powell, holding the unlatched title over her head in a silent show of confidence. "Strawberry Shake" beginning to fade away as Razzles hands the championship to the official.

The bell rings and from the beginning, you can tell that these two polar opposites to one another! Mars hops around the ring excitedly, ready to kick off another match for her title! Meanwhile, Powell proceeds around the ring stoically, almost as though she’s scouting her prey! The two eventually lock up, with Mars immediately and surprisingly gaining the early upper hand on the bigger Powell with a Wristlock! She tries to start off with some joint manipulation, but Powell is having absolutely none of it, slowly pushing herself back up to her feet and using her free hand to grab Mars by the face and push her to the mat!

Tripp Bennett: WOW!

Alivia Takasoto: Very rarely do we ever see the absolute POWER of Katie Powell! It’s factors like that which can put Razzles Mars’ title reign in serious jeopardy!

Mars rolls back to a knee, looking up at Powell in shock! Powell looks back at Mars, returning her gaze of awe with a static, inexpressive stare! Mars gets to her feet, immediately going to lock up with Powell again! However, this time, Powell stops the grappling stone dead with a Knee to the midsection of Mars which hunches her over! She pulls the champion in, getting her in position for Powerbomb! But when Powell goes to lift, Mars springs into action, gliding over her head before slipping down her back and catching her with a Sunset Flip Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Powell! Mars pops right back up to her feet, taunting Powell as she sits on the mat, looking petrified!

Tripp Bennett: Well now it seems as though the tables have turned

Alivia Takasoto: You can say that again, Tripp! Powell may have the braun advantage in this match, but Mars has a lot more brains than she lets on!

Powell gets to her feet, circling the ring with Mars! The two eventually lunge at one another, with Mars ducking under a Lariat attempt from Powell before running the ropes! She returns to Powell, this time ducking underneath an attempting Back Elbow! Having had enough of this Powell decides to run after Mars this time, squashing her against the ropes as she hits them again! She capitalizes, going for an Irish Whip off the ropes to send Mars across the ring! This works to Mars’ advantage, however, with the champion sliding underneath the bottom rope and climbing onto the apron! Powell tries to go after her, but Mars rebuts with a Shoulder Block through the middle rope! She attempts to end this early, slingshotting herself over the top rope and into the ring to deliver the Mars-ipan Kablam! But Powell pops her head up just in time, leaving Mars to fall to a seated position on the mat! She’s completely defenseless as Powell levels her with a stiff Penalty Kick! She rolls her into the center of the ring and goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Mars! Powell’s frustration seems to build as she lifts Mars back to her feet! She scoops her up into a Sidewalk Slam position, before kneeling down and rapping Mars around her knee with a Backbreaker! She presses down on Mars, further wrenching her back against her knee as she urges the referee to ask her if she quits! The referee obliges, but Mars is not even close to budging in this contest! In frustration, Powell releases her, sending her facefirst to the mat! But before Mars can catch her breath, Powell is right back on her, this time going for a Dragon Sleeper! She has her in and is about to bring her backwards with the Bodyscissors, but Mars quickly takes advantage, fully rotating over her and stacking her up for a pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Powell gets the shoulder up, releasing Mars from the hold! Mars takes advantage of this newfound freedom by immediately jumping up and nailing Powell with a Double Foot Stomp to the chest! She immediately falters to the mat off the stomp, landing in a seated position beside Powell! Something dawns on Mars, prompting her to drag Powell to a seated position before getting her in a Guillotine Choke! With the legs clamped around Powell’s midsection, the challenger has nowhere to go! She reaches out to the ropes to no avail! It seems as though she’s about to succumb to the hold! But just then, a strange burst of energy emanates from her, causing her to slowly rise to her feet with Mars still clinging onto her for dear life! Whatever control Mars had on the match is slowly being stripped away as Powell grabs at her and throws her over her shoulder with a Back Body Drop! Mars pops right back to her feet, right into an attempted Discus Lariat by Powell! She reverses this however, contorting herself around Powell’s body to go for a Satellite DDT! But Powell reverses now, pushing Mars off of her before she can take her to the mat! Mars lands on her feet, running back at Powell only to be caught with Big Boot!

Tripp Bennett: What a back and forth affair between these two! I genuinely can’t tell who’s going to walk away with the belt here!

Alivia Takasoto: It’s definitely a close call, but it’s seemingly swinging in Katie Powell’s favor for the moment!

Powell continues her onslaught, lifting Mars to her feet before taking her to the mat with Full Nelson Slam, before popping right back up and crushing her with a Standing Moonsault! Powell with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Mars! Powell’s frustration further builds as she gets the YouTube Champion to her feet! She lifts her overhead, looking for Michinoku Driver! But as she plummets to the mat, Mars flips out of it, landing on her feet! Before she can regain her bearings however, Powell kicks her right behind her knee, causing it to give out and sending her to the mat! Powell immediately takes advantage, preying on Mars with a Dragon Sleeper, this time being able to apply the Bodyscissors! Mars is in serious trouble now, with Powell applying more and more pressure to her back! She tries reaching for the ropes to no avail, before attempting to pry Powell’s arms away! Neither of these things work however, with Mars coming to the conclusion that if she wants any chance of keeping her reign entact, she was gonna have to try and roll over! She starts to make a few movements to rotate, but Powell isn’t budging! The situation seems inescapable, but the ever escalating desperation on Mars powers over Powell’s strength as she manages to roll to her stomach!

Noticing all these attempts at escape, Powell decides to change direction, releasing the Bodyscissors and opting to crotch over Mars as she applies the Dragon Sleeper! This proves to be to her detriment however, as Mars is able to grab hold of one of her legs and trip her forward, causing her to release the hold! Mars grasps her throat as she regains her normal breathing one labor breathe at a time! She slowly rises to her feet as Powell does the same! Powell is the first to attack, charging straight at Mars! The attack is cut off, however, with Mars reversing with a Running Hurricanrana! Powell is able to evade damage however, front flipping back to her feet off of the athletic move, her agility catching quite a few people off guard! She immediately charges right back at Mars, who keeps her at bay this time with a Running Dropkick that sends her into a seated position in the corner of the ring! Mars takes immediate advantage, running over to the opposite corner and running across the ring with as much momentum as possible to hit a full force Sliding D to Powell! She slides out of the ring in the process, but the super hyper champion simply runs around the ringpost and slides back into the ring! She runs over to the opposite corner once again, before rushing at Powell with a corner Cannonball!

Tripp Bennett: What a comeback by Razzles Mars! That Corner Cannonball has to be the best one in the biz!

Alivia Takasoto: Trust me, Tripp! Literally NO ONE would argue with you on that! Performances like this from Razzles Mars is what netted her the YouTube! Championship to begin with!

Mars dumps Powell out of the corner now, gauging her as she attempts to get up before running the ropes! Powell is in perfect position as Mars returns to her, leaving her open for Mars to strike her down with a Shining Wizard! Mars with the pin now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

T-

Kick out by Powell, but Mars takes advantage of this! She grabs the kicking leg of Powell as she escapes the pin attempt, hooking it around her nape and getting up to her feet to lock her into a Stretch Muffler! Powell is in trouble now as all the blood within her rushes up her body, leaving the pain of all the nerves in her leg being stretched as the only thing she can feel! She tries to pull herself up on Mars’ shoulders to scathe off the blood rush, but Mars catches her and intercepts with a few kicks and stomps to the head to keep her at bay! Eventually, Powell is able to swing her other leg around, getting it onto the other shoulder of Mars so that she can take her down with a Headscissor! Mars falls to the mat, before rolling out of the ring under the bottom rope! Powell stumbles to her feet and sees this, looking to take advantage! She hits the ropes before leaping at Mars with a Suicide Dive! The two crash into the barricade at ringside, with Powell being the first to pop to her feet! She rushes back into the ring, looking for another Suicide Dive as she runs for the ropes! This time, however, Mars is back up to her feet, giving chase to Powell inside the ring and finally catching her as she hits the ropes! Mars levels her with a Clothesline that sends her crashing over the top rope! Mars takes advantage ow, flipping the script on Powell by running the ropes to hit a Suicide Dive of her own!

Tripp Bennett: It seems as though these two have an answer for every single move in the other’s arsenal!

Alivia Takasoto: You have to think that at least one of these two has been studying tape on the other! Taking in every last bit of info on each other in preparation for this match!

Mars gets Powell up to her feet at ringside, looking to throw her back into the ring! But Powell reverses, pushing Mars back first into the ring apron, before grabbing her by the hair and tossing her right into the barricade! She slams down onto the floor at ringside, yet hardly has any time to conceptualize what she had just been through before Powell lifts her up and throws her back into the ring! She follows her right back in, stalking the champion as she gets to her feet! Mars gets back up, before Powell runs up from the corner and levels her with a Discus Lariat! Powell with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

T-

Kick out by Mars! Powell is now all but infuriated as she gets to her feet! She emphatically drags Mars up by her hair before getting her in position and slamming her down with the UNTIMELY DEPARTURE!! CANADIAN DESTROYER GETS HER!! Powell with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Mars! Powell is now furious at the fact that she hasn’t been able to put Mars away! She decides to put an end to this, getting Mars in position for The Unmarked Grave! But Mars reverses, shifting all the weight forward and catching Powell with a Victory Roll pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

TH-

Kick out by Powell, to which Mars immediately responds by jumping up and catching Powell with a Double Footstomp! She climbs onto the ring apron, waiting as Powell slowly tries to make it to her feet! Just as she does, Mars slingshots over the ropes, this time successfully being able to hit the MARS-IPAN KABLAM!! SLINGSHOT DDT!! Mars pushes Powell to the center of the ring and goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Powell! Mars is in shock, but is also determined, knowing exactly what she has to do to end this match! She takes to the top rope now, leering over Powell before launching off for the Peppermint Twist! SHE GETS IT!! Or...at least she thinks she does! Powell rolls right out of the move, rising to her feet, now with Mars in her arms! She cradles her for just a little longer, before propping her onto her shoulder and preparing to bring her down with a Powerslam! She runs across the ring and goes for it, but is ill-prepared when Mars traps the arm and drives her knees into it on the way down! Powell doesn’t realize until it’s too late that Mars is setting up for the MARS BAR!! THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR IS NOW IN!! Powell is in the center of the ring, with nowhere to go and no hopes of getting any sort of motion towards the ropes going! She tries to power out of it, but Mars wrenches back the arm further and more viciously with each attempt! Seeing no solutions left that don’t include a dislocated shoulder or a broken arm, Powell taps out! This match is over!

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...and STILL the Zion Wrestling YouTube! Champion...RAZZLES! MARS!

Tripp Bennett: What a match and what a way to kick off the night! Razzles Mars continues on as your YouTube! Champion!

Alivia Takasoto: The biggest question now is who’s next? Who’s gonna step up and ultimately be able to keep up with a champion as resilient as Razzles Mars!

Mars kneels over a fallen Powell, collecting her belt and lifting it up in the air as we fade out!

WINNER: RAZZLES MARS (VIA SUBMISSION)

CHAMPIONSHIP RETAINED

[Intern]

The scene opens up in a backstage hallway. Standing there with a microphone is Meliana Rodrigo, a bright smile on her face.

Meliana Rodrigo : Please welcome with me at this time, "The Killer Queen" Eden Sterling.

And with that, Eden steps into the view of the camera, a smile on her face as well.

Meliana Rodrigo : Eden, why don't you start by telling us a little bit about yourself?

Eden Sterling : Do I have to?

Meliana Rodrigo : Well, no, you don…

Eden sighs a little and continues.

Eden Sterling : Well, it's just...I don't know how to say this without it sounds like a long drawn out mess. My parents were wrestlers, my aunt is currently one and well, I've been in a ring since just about the time I could walk.

Meliana Rodrigo : Sounds like you have some big shoes to fill…

Eden Sterling : I mean, I suppose. But I also don't want them and what they've done to define me. I want to stand on my own merits and not be judged by theirs. You know what I mean?

Meliana Rodrigo : I believe I do.

Eden Sterling : I'm going to take the lessons they've taught me and all the tricks of the trade I picked up and I'm going to forge my own path. One seperate from theirs. I may be new, but I'm no wallflower either. Y'all are gonna know…

Voice: Are you done yet? So tired of this…

Coming into view is none other than The Trillion Dollar Princess Angel Kash, the fans greet her appearance with loud boos. As the Trillion-Dollar Princess stands in her gear, with her mink fur robe covering it.

Angel Kash: Listen I am so sick of the disrespect where was my interview time I mean I am a former national champion or did you forget that? Whatever, it doesn’t matter because tonight is about one thing, and one thing only. That is me righting the wrong that occurred last month when I was robbed of my national title.

Angel rolled her eyes, as she looked at Eden with a look of disgust on her face.

Angel Kash: You see this whole story with you is cute really it is, but tonight you’re in the ring with a woman who has been champion once before here, in fact, I have won gold all over the world. Tonight, will be my night plus look at how you’re dressed and then look at myself and you see the difference right in front of you.

Angel smirks showing herself a bit, keeping her eye on Eden.

Angel Kash: See where did you get that gear, they have goodwill for wrestling gear? Poor thing I at least hope you washed it. Plus what material is that? I don’t even want to know really but I can tell you my gear is custom made and is made from cashmere leather you now what that is do you?

Eden looks down at her gear, looking slightly confused, mouthing "what's wrong with this?". She shakes her head and just glares at Angel.

Eden Sterling : Listen, "Princess", it really doesn't matter how expensive your gear is, does it? And you've held gold here before? That's nice. It'll legitimize me when I toss you from one side of that ring to the other. My parents didn't raise a fool nor a slouch. So you thinking you can get one over on me, you'll sadly mistaken.

Angel rolls her eyes in disgust.

Angel Kash: You just don’t get it, if you think you’re going to just waltz in and put me down well you got another thing coming miss flavor of the month. See your little freak buddy got lucky last week on Mayhem. It won’t happen again not twice in two weeks and your parents? Thats cute and all really it is.

Angel said with a sly smirk on her face.

Angel Kash: But they can watch you disappoint here tonight in front of the entire world. But it’s okay after the match I can send you home with an autograph picture this time free of charge because well I am a giving woman.

It's Eden's turn to roll her eyes.

Eden Sterling : Aren't you such a "giving" person? I'll tell what, you can keep that picture of yours and I'll give you a knee to the back of your pretty little head, for the low low price of free. I'll see you in the ring, "princess."

Angel rolls her eyes in disgust, as Eden walks off. As, Angel however, develops a sly smirk on her face as the scene fades to black.

James Buchanan: The following tag team contest...is scheduled for one fall...and is for the Zion Wrestling Tag Team Championships!



The haunting cry that begins "i hope ur miserable until ur dead" echoes throughout the arena's PA system. The silhouette of two smaller females is seen due to the flashing light screen. The duo emerge from behind the light, Fable Rowen striking a pose on the stage while Kenzie's arms were extended outward, taunting to the crowd to boost their cheering. Kenzie is noticeably higher energy than a still joyful Fable, the brunette rushing ahead of her Canadian counterpart

Fable has stopped to collect a few high fives while perpetual ball of energy Kenzie Garrett is on the apron. She reaches out a hand to the blonde, helping her onto the outer apron. The two share a pose before entering the ring. Kenzie sheds her leather jacket, while Fable removes a more tasteful, sequined jacket. Handing it off to the stagehands before Garrett climbs to the turnbuckle and Rowen takes a seat on the middle rope, a poised smile on her face.

A smokescreen would emit from backstage, as we see Hayumi's paper umbrella which hides her bokken pierce through whilst "Queendom" plays. Hayumi emerges first with her girls right behind her, as they menacingly approach the ring with malice in their eyes. They enter and pose, waiting for their opposition.

James Buchanan: Introducing the challengers...at a combined weight of 217 lbs...Fable Rowen and Kenzie Garrett...B! F! G!

And their opponents...being accompanied to the ring by Hayumi Yamamoto...at a combined weight of 326 lbs...they are the Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions...The SATSUJIN! TRIAD!



Kenzie Garrett and Cappadonna start off for their respective teams. The two begin to shuffle around each other in the ring, each one waiting for the other to make a move! The two go for one another, with Cappadonna going low to gain the upper hand! She slips behind Garrett, getting a Waistlock around her and seemingly looking for a German Suplex! But Garrett escapes, sending an Elbow straight to her jaw before taking her to the mat with a Snapmare! Cappadonna immediately gets to her feet, rushing after Garrett only to immediately be snatched into a Hurricanrana! Cappadonna lands on her feet off of this however, running after Garrett as she returns her gaze and hitting her with a Bicycle Knee! The shot turns Garrett around, giving Cappadonna the opening she needs to get her in position and hit her with a Straitjacket Mat Slam! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

T-

Kick out by Garrett! Cappadonna is right back on her, however, dragging her to her feet, before wrenching her arm and hitting her with a Hook Kick! The shot sends Garrett staggering back into the Triad’s corner, leaving Cappadonna an opening to tag in Nari Chang! The two work together, hitting a Double Irish Whip on Garrett into the corner, with her hitting the turnbuckle hard! From there, Cappadonna drills Garrett with a German Suplex out of the corner! She bridges, allowing for Chang to come in and stomp directly on Garrett’s head!

Tommy Green: OUCH! What a vicious attack by the Triad!

Winter Mae: The ruthlessness of this group is what got them their record breaking title reign!

Chang gets Garrett to her feet, before driving her down to the mat with a Snapmare and getting in a Reverse Chin Lock! Garrett is in trouble now, in the middle of the ring with her corner seemingly miles away! She starts to shift her weight to the side, slowly getting to her feet in order to get back into this! Chang is surprised at this point, but hardly has time to reassert control before Garrett sends a fist to her gut! She sends another one her away, this time getting her to release the hold! She gets back to her feet, immediately catching Chang as she runs up with a Running Lariat! Chang stumbles back to her feet, being caught with a Second Lariat by Garrett! She gets back to her feet again, this time looking to get the upper hand immediately by swinging for Garrett! But she reverses, quickly snatching Chang in position before throwing her into the corner with an Exploder Suplex!

Garrett takes a lap around the ring, tagging in a Fable Rowen, before running into the corner and nailing Chang in the corner with a Meteora! She takes Rowen into the opposite corner, before Irish Whipping her into Chang! Rowen slides down, nailing Chang with a Basement Dropkick before popping back up to her feet! She gets Chang up, getting Chang into a Pumphandle position, lifting her up before driving her into her knee! She gets her back up to her feet once more, before driving her straight back down to the mat with a Fallaway Slam! She bridges for the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Chang! Rowen gets her to her feet, leathering her with a set of Forearms, before clocking her with a Spinning Backfist! Chang is hunched over now as Rowen runs the ropes! Whatever move she has planned is cut off however, as Chang is able to lift her up and take her to the mat with a Double Leg Spinebuster! She keeps the legs trapped, flipping over Rowen for a Jackknife Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Rowen kicks out, pushing Chang’s legs from underneath her and reversing with a Sit-Out Pin!

ONE…!

Kick out by Chang! She rolls to her feet, before trying to kick a seated Rowen! But she reverses, laying back and letting Chang’s leg sail past her, before catching her with O’Connor Roll Pin as she turns around!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Chang! The two competitors get to their feet at the same time, with both of them rushing towards one another! Chang gets the upper hand initially, catching Rowen off-guard with a Running Forearm! She staggers, giving Chang an opening to take her to the mat with a Knee Trembler! She drags Rowen over to her corner, before tagging in Cappadonna, who immediately takes to the top rope! Chang puts a hand around Rowen’s throat, hoisting her up in the air before bringing her down on her knee for a Chokebreaker! She holds Rowen in position, giving Cappadonna the opening to leap from the top rope with a Flying Knee to her head!

Tommy Green: Again with the shots to the head! These two are relentless!

Winter Mae: It’s very clear they’re not doing this on a whim, Tommy! This is a very organized attack by the Satsujin Triad!

Cappadonna gets Rowen up to her feet, lifting her up for a Urunage! But Rowen reverses, sending an Elbow into the side of her head! She eventually relieves her grip, staggering back into the ropes! Rowen capitalizes, Whipping Cappadonna off the ropes and into the other side of the ring! But Cappadonna reverses, Whipping Rowen in response and sending her into the ropes instead! She tries to go after her, but Rowen quickly pulls the ropes down, sending Cappadonna over the top rope and onto the floor at ringside! Rowen tags in Kenzie Garrett, before taking to the ring apron! She backs into the ringpost, before running up and launching off with the PINBALL WIZARD!! Cannonball Senton connects!

Tommy Green: What a move, but Fable Rowen!

Winter Mae: I don’t care what Tripp, Alivia, or anyone on Twitter has to say! THAT is a Cannonball Senton!

Rowen watches from ringside as Garrett hops into the center of the ring! She looks on as Cappadonna starts to rise to her feet, before hitting the ropes and launching out of the ring at her with a Suicide Dive! Garrett rises to her feet as the pair begin to hype up the crowd together to a massive pop! The crowd adoration seizes in an instant however, as Nari Chang runs in and spikes Rowen with a RUNNING BIG BOOT!! Garrett tries to ward her off with a few shots to the back, hunching her over! But Chang quickly overpowers her, shoving her into the ring apron! She redirects her attention to Rowen, who’s still attempting to reach her feet! Chang lifts her up, before running her THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!

Tommy Green: SWEET JESUS!

Winter Mae: That’s it! Game over! There’s no way Fable Rowen is going to be able to get back into this match!

Chang slowly crawls out of the hole pierced in the crowd barrier! Meanwhile, Cappadonna and Kenzie Garrett have made it back into the ring together! Cappadonna has Garrett in position for a Hangman’s Neckbreaker! But Garrett reverses, turning all the way around and catching Cappadonna with a Backstabber!! She sees an opportunity in her sights, slowly climbing up to the top rope and possibly looking for Skye’s The Limit! But Nari Chang is back on the apron, tripping up Garrett before she can take the dive! Just then, Cappadonna rises to her feet, catching Garrett in perfect position! She tags in Nari Chang, before setting her up on the top rope and taking her to the mat with Iconoclasm!! Chang piggybacks now, hitting a Leg Drop across the back of Garrett! She gets Garrett back to her feet, before dropping her right back down with a Side Belly-To-Belly Suplex! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

T-

Kick out by Garrett! Chang is calm, yet seemingly dead set on the destruction of Kenzie Garrett! She gets Garrett to her feet, before lifting her completely over her head with a Military Press! She walks around the ring with her for a bit, before dropping her down with a POWERSLAM!! Chang with another pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Garrett! Chang is shocked, but still carries out her mission, getting Garrett to her feet and looking for the W.M.D.! But Garrett is able to slip her grip, landing behind Chang before hitting her with a Backstabber! She quickly starts to make her way to the corner, before slowly climbing to the top rope! She launches off, hitting Chang with SKYE’S THE LIMIT!! SWANTON CONNECTS!! Garrett with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Nari Chang! Garrett looks utterly disappointed by now, wondering what it’s gonna take to end this match! She eventually gets to her feet and settles into a position, waiting for Chang to make it to her feet, before running up and going for the Grim Fandango! But Chang reverses, keeping Garrett on her shoulders just long enough to throw her down with a Sit-Out Powerbomb! She drags her over to the Triad’s corner, before tagging in Cappadonna! She gets her in the Electric Chair position as Cappadonna climbs to the top rope! She leaps from the top, looking for the Fatal Flying Guillotine! But Garrett reverses, dropping backwards on Changs shoulders and allowing Cappadonna to crash to the match, just like Lilith Meadows did at a different time! However, unlike Meadows, Garrett immediately goes on the offensive, hitting Chang with a Reverse Hurricanrana RIGHT ON TOP OF CAPPADONNA!! Garrett takes immediate advantage, hopping on top of both of them with a pin!

ONE…!


TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by both Triad members! Garrett pushes Chang off of Cappadonna, going for the pin on her alone out of disbelief as Chang rolls out of the ring!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Cappadonna! Garrett holds her head in disbelief, the odds seeming to become bleaker and bleaker as this match continues! She looks over to her corner, still void of anyone, before lifting Cappadonna! She immediately reverses, popping up and drilling Garrett’s head to the mat with a JUMPING DDT!! Cappadonna pops up to her feet, staggering into the corner, before climbing to the top rope! She waits for Garrett to get to her feet, before going for the Fatal Flying Guillotine! But Garrett dodges the move once again, but Cappadonna is able to tuck and roll on the mat to avoid crashing down! She rolls back to her feet, before running straight for Garrett! She gets the upper hand however, catching her with a Hurricanrana! Cappadonna manages to land on her feet, however, immediately going for an Enzuigiri! Garrett dodges it however, getting Cappadonna in a Wheelbarrow Position before dropping her to the mat with a German Suplex!

Tommy Green: What an exchange between Cappadonna and Kenzie Garrett!

Winter Mae: Yeah, but Garrett’s been in this one for quite a bit now! I don’t wanna be a cynic, but I don’t think she can keep this up forever!

Both competitors are down now! Cappadonna, out of instinct, immediately crawls to her corner and reaches out for Nari Chang! Meanwhile, Garrett looks to her corner just in time to see Fable Rowen climb to the apron! She reaches out for Garrett, giving her even more drive to get to her corner! Both competitors reach their corners at the same time, tagging in their respective partners! Fable Rowen runs out her corner like a house of fire, exchanging strikes with Chang in unison! Chang tries to break away from the violent affair with a knee to Rowen’s gut! She hits the ropes now, before going for a Running Big Boot! But Garrett reverses, catching the leg before tripping Chang to the mat. She steps back, waiting for Chang to reach a seated postion before leveling her with a Penalty Kick! She gets Chamg up, before driving her to the mat with SPIRAL ARCHITECT!! ORANGE CRUSH CONNECTS!!

Tommy Green: Spiral Architect! BFG is so close to securing the Zion Tag Team Championships!

Winter Mae: They have the Triad right where they want them! Let’s see if they can seal the deal!

Rowen gets Chang over to her corner, before tagging in Garrett! The two set Chang up for “A League of Their Own”! But before they can go for the move, Cappadonna tries to enter the ring, distracting the referee! Amidst the distraction, Hayumi Yamamoto climbs onto the apron, before clocking Garrett over the head with her Bokken! Garrett immediately falls to the mat from the top rope, before Chang beats down on Rowen and throws her out of the ring! She redirects her attention to Garrett, before taking her to the corner and tagging in Cappadonna! She sets her up in the Electric Chair position, before Cappadonna drives her down with the FATAL FLYING GUILLOTINE!! Cappadonna and Nari Chang go for the double pin, mocking the way that BFG got this shot to begin with!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



James Buchanan: The winner of this match...and STILL the Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions...The SATSUJIN! TRIAD!

Tommy Green: An amazing effort by BFG, but it wasn’t enough to evade the lowdown tactics of the Satsujin Triad!

Winter Mae: The Triad wins the day here, though I highly doubt that BFG s gonna die down this easily!

The Triad raise their titles as we fade out!

WINNERS: THE SATSUJIN TRIAD (VIA PINFALL)
CHAMPIONSHIP RETAINED

[Intern]

After a moment, Queens Of The Stone Age's "Smooth Sailing vocals make the crowd stand to their feet in anticipation. The shot slowly descends, gradually revealing a confident Cass Baumer in a blue sleeveless moto jacket showing off her small tribal shoulder tattoo, sports bra, and soccer-inspired gear with checker patterned running sneakers.

Alex Lawson: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL

Alex Lawson: Introducing first...from Wellington, New Zealand...weighing in at 141 lbs…”The Headliner”...Cass! Baumer!

Instead of her typical jovial demeanor, she paces down the aisle while the Zion Wrestling audience continue to show their appreciation. Once she makes it to ringside, she slides into the ring. The palpable cheers grow in intensity as she bounces back to her feet and mounts the ropes, raising the fist with pride as she answers the visceral reaction of the crowd with a guttural shout of her own!



The opening to “The Gun Show” by In This Moment begins to play through the PA system and as soon as Maria Brink’s vocals kick in, Killer Carter storms out onto the stage with a snarl on her face and stops on stage before turning around to reveal the Shieldmaidens logo on the back of her kutte as she stretches out her arms displaying the devil's horns with her hands before she swiftly turns around and begins to storm down the ramp.

Alex Lawson: And her opponent...representing the Shieldmaidens...from New Oreleans, Louisiana...weighing in at 160 lbs…”The Enforcer of Fusion”...Killer! Carter!

When Carter reaches the bottom of the ramp, she wastes little time in rolling under the bottom rope and marches to the middle of the ring and outstretches her arms again displaying the devil’s horns, still maintaining that vicious snarl as she begins mouthing off to anyone in ear shot as “The Gun Show” fades out.



Neither competitors are wasting time here as Baumer and Carter immediately run for each other before beginning to trade strikes in unison! Carter eventually gets the upper hand in the exchange, sending a knee right into Baumer’s midsection, before striking the side of her head with a Knee Lift! Baumer’s head snaps up, leaving her open to a Big Boot by Carter!

Carter lifts her to her feet, getting her in position for a Belly-To-Belly Suplex! But Baumer escapes, hitting Carter with a Bell Clap to scathe her off! Carter releases the hold upon feeling the pain of the strike, leaving her open to a Dropkick from Baumer that sends her into the corner! Baumer takes advantage, running to the opposite corner to give herself all the momentum she needs to nearly decapitate Carter with a European Uppercut! Carter falls to a seated position in the corner, giving Baumer yet another opportunity to crack Carter over the head with a Facewash!

Tripp Bennett: These two seem to be pulling out the heavy artillery very early on here!

Alivia Takasoto: That’s how bad the differences between these two have gotten, Tripp! This match isn’t about getting the win or taking the loss, this is about each of them inflicting as much punishment on each other as they can!

Baumer gets Carter back up in the center of the ring! But before she can execute anything in particular, Carter swats her hands away, hitting her with a Headbutt! She quickly capitalizes, clamping her hands around Baumer’s waist before throwing her over her head with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Baumer is sent flying across the ring, with Carter chasing her down and lifting her to her feet again and launching her with a second Belly-To-Belly! She gets Baumer up once more this time by the hair, before going for a third Belly-To-Belly on Baumer! She stands over Baumer, getting her hands around Baumer’s throat before lifting her up and slamming her right back down with a Two-Handed Chokebomb! Carter with the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Baumer! Carter immediately pops up from the pin and stomps right on top of Baumer’s head! She then continues the assault dealing out stomp after stomp onto Baumer’s chest and midsection! Carter lifts Baumer to her feet, getting her into position for a German Suplex! She goes for the lift, but Baumer reverses, flipping to her feet behind Carter before pushing her towards the ropes and pulling her back out for an O’Connor Roll Pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Carter kicks out, but Baumer isn’t finished yet, transitioning right out of the pin and into a German Suplex of her own! She bridges for the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out again by Carter! Baumer immediately gets back to her feet and catches Carter while she’s on her hands and knees, getting in an Oklahoma Roll Pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Carter!

Tripp Bennett: Cass Baumer’s athleticism is on point here tonight!

Alivia Takasoto: Stamina is key to beating a powerhouse like Killer Carter! Most people can’t overpower her, Baumer included! But she knows this fact very well, and with that knows that out wrestling her is definitely the next best thing!

Carter rolls onto her knees out of the pinning situation, something that Baumer would take advantage of by hitting her with a Big Boot while kneeling! With her much bigger opposition now grounded, Baumer takes advantage, hitting her with a Standing Elbow Drop! She pops up from this, immediately stomping on the fingers of the right hand Carter left laid out on the mat, albeit not intentionally! Carter turns on the ground in recoil, checking for any damages on her hand as she begins to get to her feet! Baumer sees yet ANOTHER opportunity, as Carter would lean on the ropes for support! Seeing this, Baumer makes a mad dash for Carter, dumping her over the top rope with a Lariat! Carter is down at ringside now and Baumer is ready to seize the high ground she has on her, running the ropes and going for a Suicide Dive as she gets to her feet! But Carter catches her, carrying Baumer in arms almost as if she were a child before slowly raising her up to a Powerbomb position and throwing her into the ringpost! The impact causes the back of Baumer’s head to smash into the LED display on the post, before then falling to the concrete floor at ringside headfirst!

Tripp Bennett: Oh my goodness! What a hard hit taken to the outside by Cass Baumer!

Alivia Takasoto: That’s sure to leave lumps on her, Tripp! I don’t think she’s gonna back so easily from that!

Carter stands on the apron, looking down at Baumer as she tries to get up! Her face reads completely differently to the way it did at the start of the match, with her eyes glossed over and her expression completely neutered! Carter cares very little for this however, grabbing Baumer by the hair and pulling her up to the apron with her!She wraps the tag rope of the corner turnbuckle around her neck before kicking Baumer’s leg from under her and leaving her to hang from the ring apron!

Alivia Takasoto: WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Tripp Bennett: It seems as though the violence has only escalated as this match has gone on!

Alivia Takasoto: “Escalated?” Killer Carter is literally trying to KILL Cass Baumer right now!

The referee takes obvious exception to this, demanding that Carter relieves her before he throws out the match! Carter finally let’s go at the referee’s count of four, leaving her to flop to the ground at ringside! She steps down from the apron and goes after Baumer once again! Although this time, Baumer is ready for her, kicking her and shin and tripping her forward, causing her to clash with the barricade! Baumer starts to get up, before propping Carter on top of the barricade! She climbs up to the apron, before jumping off and nailing her with a Leg Drop right on the barricade! The two fall to the ground at ringside as the referee’s count reaches five. Both of them are stirring, but in the race with the referee’s count, they’re clearly losing! They slowly get to their feet, before throwing themselves back into the ring under the bottom rope at the count of nine!

Tripp Bennett: They narrowly escape a double count out here!

Alivia Takasoto: That was a close one, Tripp! But since this match isn’t over yet, these two now have to contend with carrying on with the damage accumulated in this match!

Both competitors slowly get to their feet in unison, with each one seeing red as they gaze upon the other. They get to their feet before exchanging a set of stiff strikes! Baumer starts with a Forearm! Carter returns with one of her own! Baumer with another Forearm! Carter with another! Baumer! Carter! Baumer! Carter! Eventually, Baumer gets the upper hand, firing off multiple Forearms in a row before getting her in position for a Double Underhook Suplex! But Carter reverses, getting to her knees to take away Baumer’s leverage before bringing her down with a Northern Lights Suplex!

Carter gets Baumer up from behind, before throwing her across the ring with a German Suplex! She keeps her grip around her waist before driving her down with a second German Suplex! She keeps her for a third one, but this time Baumer reverses, catching her with a Snapmare as she goes for the lift! Carter gets to her feet and immediately goes for Baumer, who instantly catches her with a Pop-Up Samoan Drop! Baumer with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Carter! Baumer crawls off of her and into the corner, using the ropes to get to her feet! She stands in wait, urging Carter to start attempting to get to her feet! When she does, Baumer leaps into attack, going for the Bleeding Edge! But Carter dodges it, before getting up and slamming Carter with an Elbow to the back of her head! Baumer tries to recover, making it up to her feet just in time to be drilled with a LARIAT from Killer Carter! Baumer is down now and Carter goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Kick out by Baumer! Carter looks on in disappointment as Baumer is already starting to stir! She gets her to her feet before going for a Rear Naked Choke! But before she can apply the Bodyscissors, Baumer flips over onto her, stacking all her weight onto Carter and driving her shoulders to the mat!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Carter gets the shoulder up, releasing the hold! She gets a seated position, but can’t reach a vertical base fast enough to avoid being hit with the BLEEDING EDGE!! PENALTY KICK GETS HER!! Baumer with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Carter! Baumer remains undeterred, however, stumbling to her feet before getting her in position for the Fact Check! She looks like she’s about to falter, before jumping up for the move! But Carter reverses, bringing her down into a REAR NAKED CHOKE!! BODYSCISSORS APPLIED!! BAUMER CAN’T ESCAPE!! Baumer wriggles and reaches for the ropes, but it’s no use! She’s trapped in the center of the ring with nowhere to go! She succumbs to the hold, her eyes slowly closing, before the referee checks for consciousness! She doesn’t respond and the referee calls for the bell! This one is over!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match by submission...Killer! Carter!

Tripp Bennett: Cass Baumer gave it all she had, but she just couldn’t overcome Killer Carter tonight!

Alivia Takasoto: Killer Carter made it very clear what she was gonna do when she saw Cass Baumer again, and I think she lived up to that and then some!

Killer Carter stand tall over Cass Baumer as we fade out

WINNER: KILLER CARTER (VIA KNOCKOUT)

[Intern]

The scene opens with an aerial view of a metropolitan city in mid-afternoon. The sun is beaming down its glorious rays on the city, which is filled with the sights and sounds of a normal busy day. From the traffic of the cars on the street to the traffic of people walking about, the scenery more than exemplifies the marvel of the city.

Suddenly, with the song “Fight Your Demons” by Epica playing in the background, the normal routine in this part of the city is interrupted by an incoming display of loud, strange sounds, with the ground suddenly shaking upon each sound….

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

In another part of the city, the people are thrown off by the loud strange sounds, trying to keep their bearings from the shaking ground, which is at this point steadily increasing with its intensity; the same intensity that’s causing the vehicles to briefly lose ground, making windows explode instantly, and making even the largest buildings mildly shake.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

In another part of the city, a reporter is on television making a report of the mysterious occurrences happening all over the city. Watching this report on TV is a Security Guard in a hotel, who is enjoying his late lunch…..

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

He feels the vibrations of the booming sounds as it draws close, but pays it no mind. Then, from out of nowhere, a gigantic pair of feet, enclosed in gold strap, espadrille wedge sandals, walk past the hotel, one foot crushing a nearby empty car flat! The force of the footsteps causes the ground to shake wildly and causes the Security Guard to spill his food on himself!

We are then taken to a classy restaurant where people are enjoying their dinner. The patrons feel the vibrations of the booming sounds as it draws near, not knowing what to make of it. They even notice the chaos taking place outside the large window; People looking up in awe while some are clearing away. Some are even running away. They must be afraid and they're definitely running from something. But still, the people in the restaurant are unaware.

Until…

ANOTHER gigantic pair of feet walk past the restaurant, enclosed in beige high heeled ankle strap sandals. The force of the footsteps causes the ground to shake wildly and causes the people to shake uncontrollably and fall to the floor, as if an earthquake went through them!

In an office of a high-rise office building, a group of men are caught up with the sudden booming sounds, wondering what is going on. Their curiosities have been erased as they are now suddenly drawn by the presence of a gigantic female from chest level, wearing a silver metallic dress, walking past the building. They should be frightened by what they are seeing, but they are DEFINITELY taken by the view.

Turning the corner and walking down the street is another gigantic woman bringing the people in the area into complete panic and awe. Though her identity was unknown, this towering menace is a sight to behold; a blond wearing a gold crop top and a white skirt to compliment her espadrille wedge sandals. Not too far away, inside a cab, an executive is yelling at the cab driver, for he is impatient for the cab to move. The cab driver turns to talk but something much more important catches his view. The executive and the cab driver peek out the window and almost lose themselves when a huge shadow hovers over them as the giantess steps over the cab as she continues along her path.

In another part of the city, a third unidentified gigantic woman is shown, wearing a white dress that compliments the beige high heeled ankle strap sandals she’s wearing. She is currently walking down the block, easily stepping over a bridge in a single stride, with passing subway trains along the way. As she walks past one of the tall buildings, she flicks the antenna with her incredibly manicured fingers.

Along the way of their travels, these giant women has their way with some of the symbols that has promotion materials representing some of the wrestlers of the Fusion brand of Zion Wrestling; like the white dressed woman smashing a billboard that has Jordan Majors featured on it with her hands, an empty bus stop that has posters featuring Katie Powell & Zachary Porter being obliterated by the black strappy heel clad foot of the silver dressed woman as she stomps on it, and the gold topped woman picking up a random empty double decker tour bus, which ironically has pictures of Regulators Incorporated (Jane Adler & Sadie Cassidy), & Salem Cartier on it and tossing it into a nearby river with ease.

As the people look on in awe, or just trying to run for their lives, the white dress woman is shown seductively pole dancing on the city’s tallest building, to which is the same height as she is.

In one of the buildings, a good-looking man is working out while watching the FUSION wrestling show on TV, which features World Champion Serena Riot competing in a match. Suddenly, his activity is interrupted as his window is suddenly covered by the presence of the gold topped woman, showing that she is totally turned on by his muscular body. She reaches through the window and smashes the TV with her fingers. The man looks on in awe but has no time to react as she grabs him, pulling him towards herself before leaving with him, playfully strutting down the street like a sexy supermodel working a runway. Not too far away, a group of people rush up to the roof to catch a glimpse of this giant woman passing by. She does a little spin for her “admirers”, long enough to drop off the workout man she “captured”, who safely lands on his feet, beside the group of people on the roof.

A helicopter is flying by and manages to run into the silver dress woman. We only manage to see part of her body and her lips, as she blows the helicopter a kiss, with the power of the kiss blowing the helicopter back uncontrollably for miles.

The scene then goes to an open area in the city’s largest park, where we see the large gathering of people surrounding the area. From a group of helicopters, to reporters and onlookers, they look up and bear witness as the giant women gather there and stand before the mass of people. It is at this time, we finally get to see the identity of these giant women....

IT’S DELILAH HILL, BROOKE CARTWRIGHT, & VALENTINA SKYE!

The people are going crazy at their presence as the ladies look down at them, flashing a smile while they’re enjoying the view, like goddesses overseeing the mortals. They are MOST DEFINITELY the center of attention! They look down at their feet where they see people taking pictures of them and people on their knees bowing to them. The ladies laugh at this "cute" display while running their fingers through their hair and the like, incredibly tickled by this unconditional loyalty to them. The three ladies then flash a sexy pose, with them flipping their hair back and looking ahead into the horizon, catching a brisk wind rushing through their hair as they admire the view, with their infectious laugh echoing across the landscape....and beyond.

As we continue to view this scene, we hear the ladies’ voices adding to the instrumental.

Brooke, Delilah, & Valentina: We are Trinity. YOUR world belongs….TO US!!!!! (Laughs)

Within moments, the scene fades to black. Just then, the following words are shown in white letters….

TRINITY
LARGER THAN LIFE
BETTER THAN YOU







"I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog too!"

The funky drum beat and riff of 'Phenomena' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fills the arena and the quirky yet energetic Salem appears at the entrance wearing a hooded dark purple cloak with silver trim, the hood pulled over her eyes. She carries a silver cane, the top a silver claw gripping a dark purple crystal that has a plasma globe effect. She's tapping her foot and bopping her head to the beat…

Alex Lawson: The following contest...is a ladder match...and it is for the Zion Wrestling Chance! Briefcase!

Introducing first...from Laval, Quebec, Canada...weighing in at 130 lbs...she’s Something Like a Phenomena...Salem! Cartier!

She raises both hands and motions for the fans to get hyped, swinging the cane, then bops her way toward the ring in time with the song, popping her shoulders up and down, swaying her arms around with a coy smile and wink to the audience.

She steps up the ring steps, throws her hood back, clutches the top rope and puts her feet on the bottom rope, gazing around and rocking up and down on the ropes...

She slides through the ropes, twirls off her cloak with a flourish and drops to a knee in the center of the ring, extending her arms out holding up the cane and playing to the crowd as the music fades. She takes the cloak and cane to the corner, ready for the match.



The Iconic hook of "Still" would play, as Daria has a slow strut toward the ring, looking to put the hurt on whoever she shares a ring with.

Alex Lawson: And her opponent...from Rochester, New York...weighing in at 152 lbs...she is the Holder of the Chance Briefcase…”The Zenith of Zion”...Daria! Dorsey!

She enters through the middle rope and posed, bowing to the crowd and looking up with a smirk. She raised her arms up in a confident pose to allow the crowds to bow in her majesty, as she awaits her opponent.



Dorsey and Cartier waste no time, going for each other right from the bell! They both attempt to strike, but Cartier’s the one to get the upper hand, catching Dorsey over the head with a Forearm Smash! She gets her with a second one, then a third, before going for a Superkick! Dorsey tries to get out of dodge, but it was a ruse, leaving Dorsey in perfect position to get caught with a High Knee from Cartier! Dorsey’s head snaps back up, and Cartier takes full advantage, hitting the ropes before jumping up for the New Hampshire Handshake! Dorsey backs away however, falling to the mat as she does, yet still avoiding the move! Cartier looks down at a now seated Dorsey, giving her a finger waving gesture condescendingly.

Tripp Bennett: Dorsey just came this close to making this match a lot more difficult for her!

Alivia Takasoto: And Salem Cartier knows that! Salem Cartier knows that she’s getting into Daria Dorsey’s head! And that’s the important thing, Tripp! Matches like these are just as psychological as they are physical!

Dorsey gets to her feet, and the two begin to circle the ring around each, waiting for a good moment to strike again. This time, Dorsey is the one to gain leverage, immediately catching Cartier off guard by going for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Cartier struggles to gain control, with Dorsey quickly transitioning into a Side Headlock! Cartier works to back Dorsey into the ropes, before throwing her off and across the ring! Dorsey returns, ducking under a Lariat by Cartier and getting her position for the Phoenix Driver! But before she can drive her down to the mat, Cartier slips away, falling to the mat in the process! She looks up at Dorsey, who throws her own condescending gesture back at her!

Tripp Bennett: Well how’s that for “psychological”, Alivia?

Alivia Takasoto: Daria Dorsey is the Zenith of Zion for a reason! If you wanna play your own games, it’s almost a foregone conclusion that she’ll beat you in it!

Cartier gets up, now finding her only bid of agreement with the woman currently sharing the ring with her is that things are about to pick up! Dorsey starts off, going for a Thrust Kick! But Cartier reverses, catching the leg and throwing her to the mat with an Exploder Suplex! Dorsey stumbles to her feet before Cartier takes her to the canvas with a bit more pemanance, hitting her with a Dropkick to the knee! Cartier wastes no time taking advantage of her circumstances, exiting the ring and going to retrieve the first ladder! She folds up a standing one at ringside, carrying it over to the ring and sliding it under the bottom rope long ways! This gets the attention of Dorsey, who immediately gets to her hands and knees and grabs the other end of the ladder, blocking it from fully entering the ring!

Cartier tries to push against Dorsey, but the Zenith of Zion is already set on her gameplan! She slides her side of the ladder over to the corner, leaving the entire thing short ways! Dorsey then goes to strike the tip of the ladder with a Baseball Slide, sending it right into Cartier’s face at full force! Cartier falls back to the ground at ringside and Dorsey goes right after her! She sinks her teeth into Cartier almost immediately, repeatedly stomping on her against the barricade, before lifting her up and throwing her into the barricade with a Stun Gun!

Tripp Bennett: OUCH!

Alivia Takasoto: That had to have hit much harder than any other time Dorsey performed that move! Unlike the ropes in the ring, that barricade has absolutely ZERO give to it! It’s like Cartier just fell straight into a brick wall!

Dorsey gets to her feet and re-enters the ring, immediately going for the ladder and pulling to the center of the ring! She unfolds it and sits in the center of the ring, before making her climb to the top to retrieve the briefcase! Cartier is having none of it, however, shaking off the cobwebs and sliding back into the ring under the bottom rope to see that Dorsey is already halfway up the ladder! She puts a stop to Dorsey’s efforts, batting her down with a couple of heavy strikes to the mat! Dorsey descends from the ladder, taking a few more shots from Cartier in the form of heavy kicks to her side! Cartier eventually gets Wristclutch in on Dorsey, before throwing her across the ring with a Monkey Flip! This works perfectly to Dorsey’s advantage however, with the flip giving her the momentum she needs to fully rotate and land feet-first on the ladder!

Tripp Bennett: Well would you look at that?! The resourcefulness of Daria Dorsey showing off here!

Alivia Takasoto: Daria Dorsey clearly aware of what her prerogative is tonight! Climbing that ladder and holding on to that briefcase should be her top priority right now!

Tripp Bennett: That seems accurate, Alivia! Just thinking about what Dorsey had to go through just to win that Chance Briefcase and the opportunity it entails! I’m sure having it literally yanked from her hands in an instant by Salem Cartier must be the stuff of nightmares for her!

Dorsey, now keen to her new positioning, frantically makes the climb up the ladder! Cartier gets up from the Monkey Flip, realizing what Dorsey is doing and making an effort to stop it! She runs over to the side of the ladder this time, sending a straight kick to the steel spreaders and causing one to snap! The ladder starts to become unsteady under Dorsey’s weight after this, slowing down her climb! Cartier takes advantage, running over to the side of the ladder opposite to Dorsey’s and tipping it over to send her falling! Dorsey does the smart thing, however, getting a hold of the top rope before the ladder completely falls and hangs on to keep from dropping to the floor at ringside!

Tripp Bennett: What an example of ring awareness from Daria Dorsey!

Alivia Takasoto: And you’ve gotta think that Dorsey’s experience with Ladder Matches is working to her advantage here! Salem Cartier has been out of the game for a bit, and it’s no doubt that she hasn’t competed in a match like this in just as long, if not longer! Meanwhile, Dorsey’s first ever pay-per-view match here in Zion Wrestling was a multi-person ladder match, and that was just 4 months ago!

Dorsey gets herself situated on the apron, just in time to spot Cartier rushing towards her! She deflects the attempted attack with a knee, sending Cartier falling back! Dorsey then grabs the now useless ladder leaning against the ropes, taking it with her to the top rope before jumping right onto Cartier with a Ladder-Assisted Meteora! Both competitors recoil from this with Cartier clutching her head, given this is the second time in this match that it had been targeted! Meanwhile, Dorsey is reeling on the mat and favoring her knees, undoubtedly regretting doing such a risky move! Dorsey is the first to gain any sort of headway in winning this match, crawling over to the ropes, and rolling out of the ring, before searching underneath it for a new ladder!

After some digging, Dorsey grabs a ladder and throws it back into the ring shortways, learning from Cartier’s mistake from earlier! This doesn’t work out quite the way she hopes however, with Cartier getting up just in time to hit a Basement Dropkick to the ladder, sending it into Dorsey’s face! Dorsey falls to the ground, and Cartier takes advantage by getting inventive! She sticks Dorsey’s ladder a small ways out of the ring, before standing the ladder’s base into the bottom rung of the laid out ladder! With the broken ladder being the fulcrum of a makeshift ladder lever system, Cartier steps back and waits for Dorsey to get up! When she does, Cartier hits the ropes and hits the ladder with a second Basement Dropkick the ladder, sending it swinging out of the ring hitting Dorsey right in the face! She hits the concrete floor hard at ringside, but the other end of the ladder seems to find a home on the barricade, creating a ladder bridge!

Tripp Bennett: What craftiness from The Witchy One! I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that done in a ring before!

Alivia Takasoto: If Salem Cartier has only one advantage in this match, it’s her resourcefulness! You can tell that sees this ring a lot more differently than a lot of people do!

Cartier pushes the broken ladder out of the way, before stepping through the middle rope and walking across the ladder bridge! Seeing Dorsey still laid out on the ground, Cartier seizes her advantage, leaping off the ladder bridge with a Moonsault Senton to Dorsey! She gets to her feet, initially looking to grab the bridging ladder so that could bring it to the ring and climb it! But she rethinks it, seeming to like what could come of it being there! She instead walks around to the other side of the ring, grabbing the overall third ladder of the match and sliding it into the ring! She unfolds it and sits it right in the center before going to make the climb up! She gets to the top, but before she can try to reach for the briefcase, Dorsey quickly climbs to the top of the ladder with her! She clubs her with a few strikes to the head, before attempting to grab her for presumably a move off of the ladder! Cartier avoids this however, warding Dorsey off with a shove! She starts to lose her balance, but ultimately keeps herself up! Cartier starts to come out with the strikes now, catching Dorsey with a handful of Forearms before grabbing her in for a Suplex off the ladder and into the ladder bridge! Dorsey avoids the fall, sending a few strikes to the midsection of Cartier, before dumping her over her shoulder and off the other side of the ladder with a Back Body Drop! But Cartier reverses, landing on her feet from this and taking Dorsey to the mat with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb!

Tripp Bennett: This is awesome indeed! These competitors are giving it their all here!

Alivia Takasoto: For good reason, too! The amount of personal animosity between these two, combined with the opportunity at stake, is gonna guarantee that they clean out their playbooks!

Cartier gets to her feet before lifting up Dorsey! She gets her on her shoulders looking for the Ushigoroshi! But Dorsey slips off, landing behind Cartier and pushing her straight into the standing ladder in front of them! Cartier is stunned, leaving her open for Dorsey to throw her into the corner and unleash a flurry of wild strikes onto her! The culmination of these sends Cartier into a seated position in the corner! Dorsey immediately capitalizes, running across the ring and hitting Cartier with a Cannonball!

Tripp Bennett: What a Cannonball by Daria Dorsey!

Alivia Takasoto: The Cannonball Senton is an easy move to mess up, but it seems to be getting used to perfection here tonight!

Dorsey wastes no time, climbing the ladder quickly and reaching for the briefcase! It takes her some time to work with the carabiner attached to the handle of the briefcase! But just before she’s able to unclip it, Cartier comes back, throwing a few wild strikes to Dorsey’s back to keep her at bay! She climbs up her side of the ladder with her, getting Dorsey in position for a move! But Dorsey shows some resistance, sending a few Elbows to the side of Cartier’s head! These efforts end up being futile however, with Cartier grabbing Dorsey by the hair and smashing her face against the ladder before positioning her once again! She leaps off the ladder with Dorsey in tow, throwing her into the ladder bridge at ringside with an Inverted Exploder Suplex!

Tripp Bennett: WHOA!

Alivia Takasoto: That one had to hurt, and not just for Dorsey!

Dorsey and Cartier lay still on top of the ladder bridge! The structure fails to give in to their weight, increasing the amount of impact on both competitors! Cartier rolls down from the ladder, the crowd audibly gasping at the huge welts that are forming on her pale skin! Meanwhile Dorsey rolls off the other side! The two slowly rise to their feet on opposite sides of the ladder, before coming face to face! Dorsey is the first to act, pushing the bridging ladder Cartier’s way! Cartier responds, pushing it back into Dorsey even harder! Dorsey staggers back, leaving an opening for Cartier to climb the bridge once again and go for a Missile Dropkick! Dorsey catches this, driving Cartier’s back into the edge of the ladder with a Powerbomb! She capitalizes, propping Cartier onto the ladder bridge before climbing up the apron! She runs across, looking for a Cannonball onto Cartier through the ladder! But Cartier avoids this, rolling off just in time and leaving Dorsey to hit the ladder backfirst on her own! Dorsey rolls off the ladder and right onto the waiting shoulders of Cartier who takes her down at ringside with the USHIGOROSHI!!

Tripp Bennett: Ushigoroshi connects! This one has to be over!

Alivia Takasoto: Not quite yet, Tripp! This match doesn’t end until someone gets into the ring and grabs that briefcase! And with all the damage done here, you have to question how effective she’s gonna be at doing that even!

Cartier takes advantage of the now incapicitated Dorsey, slowly making her way into the ring before attempting to climb the ladder in the ring! She gets to the top, fiddling around with the carabiner much like Dorsey! But before she can unclip the briefcase and bring it down, Dorsey throws herself back into the ring under the bottom rope and goes to climb the opposite side of the ladder! Deciding to take her hands off the case to fight off her opponent, Cartier began to trade a set of wild strikes! Eventually, Dorsey gets the better of Cartier, before stepping up and getting her in position, before hitting the FIRESPIN DDT OFF THE LADDER!!! The land smack on the ladder bridge, with the structure still not giving way!

Crowd: HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!

Tripp Bennett: Holy “S word” indeed! What a match between Daria Dorsey and Salem Cartier so far!

Alivia Takasoto: The fact that these competitors are even still moving at all is a wonder! This has gone off the rails!

Both competitors are laid out of the ladder bridge yet again, with Dorsey being the first to move this time! She pulls Cartier off the ladder and into position for the Phoenix Driver! But the damage done in this match is too much for her to overcome and she ends up having to drop Cartier! Everything seems to come a standstill here, until Cartier takes advantage, pushing Dorsey into the steel steps! Dorsey is down, and Cartier follows up, lifting her up and dropping her into the ladder with the HIJACK KEVORIAN!! The move finally snaps the ladder in half, leaving Dorsey in a heap! Cartier rolls into the ring and climbs the ladder! She reaches for the briefcase, this one is over!

Just then, however, Kasey Kash’s music begins to play! Cartier becomes distracted, looking down the ramp as Kasey Kash walks down to the ring. He enters the ring, pushing the ladder down and dropping Cartier in the process! She lands on her feet, immediately going after this intruder! But Kash catches her dropping her with Going The Distance! Cartier is out cold as Kash makes his exit! Dorsey starts to climb out of the wreckage at ringside! She gets into the ring, assessing the situation she just walked into and instantly using it to her advantage! She grabs the ladder and sets it up, before climbing up and snatching the briefcase down! This one is over!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…and STILL the holder of the Fusion Chance Briefcase…Daria! Dorsey!

Tripp Bennett: Daria Dorsey wins this match! Daria Dorsey holds onto her Chance Briefcase!!

Alivia Takasoto: Yeah and it was all thanks to Kasey Kash! Why the hell did he get involved in this match?! And why target Salem Cartier?!

Dorsey stands atop the ladder, raising her briefcase over her head as we fade out!

WINNER: DARIA DORSEY
BRIEFCASE RETAINED

The lights in the arena go out.

Just then as the intro to “Kong at the Gates” by The Misfits blares into the arena, generating a buzz from the crowd.

As the song begins, and the spotlight is beaming on the stage, Reina Mendoza comes out of the curtain, along with Evangeline Sinclair. They both make their way down the aisle with Evangeline walking one step behind the Amazonian, who’s walking in a slow, intimidating pace, the spotlight following them on their way to the ring.

James Buchanan: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall...and is a Loser Leaves Match! The competitor who loses this match will have their contract terminated and must leave Zion Wrestling!

Introducing first...being accompanied to the ring by Evangeline Sinclair...residing in Los Angeles, California...weighing in at 210 lbs…”The Tejana Giantess”...Reina! Mendoza!

Once they reach the ringside area, Evangeline walks up the stairs while Reina climbs up to the apron of the ring, Reina faces the crowd and looks menacingly at them. She easily steps over the top rope to enter the ring with ease, with Evangeline following suit. Reina then walks towards the center of the ring to stand there, soaking up the reaction from the crowd. She then stomps her foot down on the mat with force and, instantly, the four corners of the ring shoot out fire, along with a booming sound, mimicking an explosion. She lets out a primal roar and then goes over to a corner where she climbs up and poses, yelling back at the crowd at every chance. She then goes toward the opposite turnbuckle and does the same thing after climbing up. Then, as she comes down, Reina takes off her coat and gives it to the ring attendant. Reina then runs herself across the ropes once to loosen herself up before settling in the corner of the ring with Evangeline as they wait for her opponent



Natural Born Killaz By Ice Cube And Dr. Dre Starts Playing Throughout The Arena. Smoke Comes From The Entrance Way. As The Smoke Is Clearing, Anthony Walks Through The Smoke And Looks Out At The Crowd.

James Buchanan: And her opponent...from Brooklyn, New York...weighing in at 275 lbs…”The Enforcer”...Anthony! Cross!

Anthony Then Walks Down To The Ring. He Walks Up The Stairs Onto The Ring Apron, Looks Out At The Crowd And Lifts His Arms Out To The Side. Anthony Steps Through The Top And Middle Ropes. Anthony Walks Over To The Opposite Ring Ropes And Lifts His Arms Out To His Side.



Mendoza and Cross stand off in the center of the ring, getting nose-to-nose as the crowd whips into a frenzy! The referee backs them away from one another, before the two end up in a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! The two giants struggle for control of the match, with Mendoza pushing Cross into the corner! Cross quickly gets himself out of the situation, pushing back against Mendoza’s force as they move across the ropes and into the next corner! This time, Mendoza is the one with her back against the turnbuckles, as Cross takes control! Before Mendoza can escape, Cross transitions into a Side Headlock, taking her out of the corner and into the center of the ring! Cross wrenches the head tight, but is ultimately unable to keep Mendoza at bay! She escapes the hold by lifting Cross off his feet and taking him to the mat with a Saito Suplex! Mendoza paces the ring as Cross starts to make it up to his feet, before driving him down a second Saito Suplex! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

T-

Kick out by Cross!

Tommy Green: What a display of power by the Tejana Giantess!

Winter Mae: You have to imagine that Reina Mendoza isn’t looking to show off here! The longer she’s in this match, the more likely she is to eat the loss here!

Mendoza gets Cross up to his feet, getting him in position to lift him for a Powerbomb! But Cross reverses, bringing Mendoza to the mat with a Back Body Drop! She staggers up to her feet before being lifted up by Cross for a Belly-to-Back Suplex! Mendoza is able to escape however, ending a few Elbows into Cross’ shoulder midlift to keep him at bay! Cross let’s Mendoza down, giving her an opening to go low and sweep behind him with a Waistlock! She backs up towards the corner with Cross in tow before throwing him right in with a German Suplex! Cross slumps down to the mat, seated against the turnbuckle! Seeing this, Mendoza rushes across the ring, returning to Cross to hit him with a Hip Attack! She rolls him out of the corner and goes for the pin!

ONE…!

T-

Kick out by Cross! Mendoza gets Cross up to his feet once again, throwing him into the corner and mounting the second rope to batter him with a bevy of strikes! Cross seems defenseless here, but he eventually fights back! He grabs the right arm of Mendoza as she goes for another clubbing blow, before dropping down and pulling her with him, causing her head to smack right into the top turnbuckle! She starts to fall backwards, but Cross catches her, getting her into a Powerbomb position! He runs her from one corner of the ring to another, hitting her with a Bucklebomb! She staggers out of the corner in pain, giving Cross the opening he needs to run the ropes and hit a European Uppercut to Mendoza! Cross with the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Mendoza, but Cross stays right on top of her! He quickly transitions out of the pin, flipping Mendoza onto her front side and getting in a Crossface! Cross has the Crossface applied! Mendoza seems to be in trouble here, but Tejana Giantess is far from done! She slowly rises up from the hold, much to the surprise of many, including Cross himself! She grabs a seated Cross by the waist, getting him into a sort of Sidewalk position! Cross’ hands remain locked around Mendoza’s face, causing her head to stay back! This doesn’t deter her however, as she drops Cross down a Sidewalk Slam anyway, breaking the hold!

Mendoza snatches Cross to his feet, before going for a Forearm! She goes for a second, then a third, slowly backing Cross into the ropes! She goes for a Headbutt to seal the deal and back him into the ropes for good, but something about the shot incites something in Cross! He stands up straight, his face turning beet red at the very sight of Mendoza at this point! She goes for a strike to keep her advantage in this match, but Cross catches it, going for a punch of his own! He goes for another, then another, then another, slowly backing her into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring! He caps off his attack with his own Headbutt, backing Mendoza into the ropes! He runs to ropes now, looking to completely eject her from the ring with a Lariat! But Mendoza reverses, catching him with a Back Body Drop right over the ropes! Cross hangs on to the ropes, keeping himself on the apron, before going for a swing to Mendoza! But she reverses, keeping him at bay with a clubbing blow of her own! She sees an advantage now, running the ropes and returning to Cross, looking to Spear him off the apron! But Cross turns the tables now, sending a knee into the side of Mendoza’s head as she goes through the middle rope and stopping her momentum! Cross pulls her out of the ring and onto the apron, getting her in position! After calculating the risk and taking a deep breath, Cross launches off the apron and to the concrete floor at ringside with a Swinging Neckbreaker!

Tommy Green: OUCH!

Winter Mae: Ouch is right, Tommy! There may be pads on the floor, but they are very thin! And they for damn sure can’t protect against a collective 485 lbs crashing down against it! That had to hurt Cross just as much as it hurt Mendoza!

The two competitors are laid out on the floor at ringside as the referee begins his ten count! Neither of them have made a move since hitting the ground, with the referee’s count now hitting four! Cross is the first to get some movement going, making a reach for the ring apron! Mendoza quickly follows him, clobbering him on the back with a strike, before attempting to bash his face against the ring apron! But Cross catches himself, getting an elbow into the midsection of Mendoza before bashing her head against the apron in response! He immediately follows it up by Irish Whipping Mendoza into the ring steps so hard, that the top half pops off and flies across the ringside area! The referee now reaches a count of nine, to which Cross responds by rolling back into the ring under the bottom rope before exiting again, restarting the count!

Upon exiting the ring once again, Mendoza pops back up to her feet, pushing Cross back and into the ring steps on the opposite side of the ring! This time, Mendoza takes immediate advantage of her environment, getting Cross in position for a Suplex onto the steps! Cross reverses this, however, sending a few shots to the gut of Mendoza before lifting her up and throwing her into the steps with a Powerslam! Mendoza is hurt as the referee once again reaches the count of four! Cross slumps down beside the ring steps, clearly exhausted from all the punishment dealt so far, before rolling back into the ring! He seems to be all too content with letting this one end by countout, laying on the mat as the referee’s count rages on!

Mendoza is slow to get to her feet, only just getting to her hands and knees at the count of eight! He tries to get to her feet, but falls back to just a knee at the count of nine. The referee begins to raise his arms for the count of ten, but Mendoza with a brief burst of energy throws herself under the bottom rope and back into the ring! Her and Cross slowly rise to their feet in front of each other, both with rage in their eyes, both getting nose to nose as they stand tall! They eventually stop their leering and a brawl breaks out, the two of them exchanging heavy blows in unison! Cross hits Mendoza with a kick to the gut, before lifting her up to the ropes for a Slingshot Suplex! But Mendoza reverses, bringing her knee down to the tip of Cross’ skull to get him to let her down! She now has Cross in the Suplex position, using it to drop him right down onto the ropes! Cross is now dangling on the top rope now, and Mendoza takes advantage, running across the ring and hitting his dangling head with a Big Boot! Mendoza rolls Cross into the center of the ring for a cover!

ONE…!

TWO…!

T-

Kick out by Cross! Mendoza’s frustration starts to build, getting Cross to his feet and slapping a hand around his throat for Chokeslam! She’s caught off guard however, as just before she can lift him for the slam, Cross slaps a hand around her throat as well! The two are now at a standstill, with neither wanting to let go of the other! Eventually, Mendoza is the one to break, relieving her grip on Cross' neck and letting him take her to the mat with a Chokeslam! He goes for the pin now!

ONE…!

TWO…!


T-

Kick out by Mendoza! Cross gets her to her feet before Irish Whipping her into the ropes! He bends over, looking to catch her upon a return! But the only response he gets is a boot to the face by Mendoza that snaps his head straight up! Mendoza backs into the ropes, looking to get a running start to hit Cross with a Lariat! But he ducks underneath, leading her to the opposite side of the ring! She hits the ropes once more, returning Cross as they both attempt a Spear at the same time! The two giants collide and hit the mat simultaneously!

Tommy Green: These two will just not back down! They’ll do anything to win this match!

Winter Mae: Can you blame them, Tommy? These two are fighting for more than just pride! They’re fighting for more than just legitimacy! They are fighting for their careers here in Zion Wrestling! One of these two are going to have their last match in Zion Wrestling right here tonight, and that’s more than enough to drive them to not be on that end of the exchange!

Cross and Mendoza are both down on the mat! Both wearing the physical toll this match is taking on their bodies! They both lie nearly motionless as the referee begins to make a ten count! The two start the long process of regaining their bearings and shaking off the cobwebs! They both hold onto one another, using each other as leverage to make it to their feet! Cross uses this to his advantage, nailing Mendoza with a knee to the gut just as she’s about to get to her feet! She’s hunched over now as Cross gets her position, picking her up and dropping her to the mat with a BRAINBUSTER!! Cross gets the signature Brainbuster in!!! He goes for a pin!

ONE…!


TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Mendoza! Cross is in shock here, but knows he has no time to think and has to take advantage right this moment! He gets Mendoza up to her feet, getting her position for the Death Penalty DDT! But Mendoza counters, using her shoulder to push him into the corner! She keeps him at bay with a few Shoulder Blocks into the turnbuckles, in the process noticing that they’re in the same corner that holds the bottom half of the ring steps Cross threw her into earlier! Seeing this, she gets a sadistic idea! She lifts Cross up to the top rope, hitting him with a few Forearms to keep him placated! She quickly climbs up with him, suddenly realizing what she’s gotten herself into as the nerves start to build!

Tommy Green: What does Reina Mendoza think she’s doing?

Winter Mae: I have no idea, Tommy, but rest assured I’m gonna be watching it through my fingers!

Mendoza hoists Cross up into a Powerbomb position, all as the crowd whips into an even louder frenzy! She gives him a bit of extra elevation, before coming down from the top rope to ringside, twisting in midair so Cross’ back takes all the damage when Mendoza hits him with a SIT-OUT POWERBOMB ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!

Tommy Green: OH MY GOD!!

Winter Mae: That’s it! It’s over! Did you see the height they just came down from?! Plus all that weight crashing down onto the steel steps?! I can’t believe what I just saw!

Crowd: HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!

Mendoza rolls down from the steel steps, with the back of her legs obviously in huge pain after taking that far a fall onto them! She eventually, and slowly, rises to her feet and goes after Cross, who is nearly lifeless atop the steel steps! She throws him back into the ring, before seemingly revving up her arm! Cross slowly and weakly rises to his feet, but is completely defenseless as Mendoza levels him with a CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! MENDOZA GETS ALL OF IT!! She goes for the pin! This one is over!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

KICK OUT BY CROSS! CROSS KICKS OUT OF IT!!

Tommy Green: How?! How is this possible?! How can anyone kick out of a set of moves like that?!

Winter Mae: It’s like I said Tommy, neither of them want to be on the losing end of this match, I’m sure Anthony Cross can take a few huge licks today if it means he can still have his job tomorrow!

Tommy Green: But at this rate, you have to think about self-preservation! What if he can’t wrestle anymore after this?! Then all this would be absolutely nothing!

Winter Mae: That’s what comes with thinking with your head and not your heart, Tom! And if Zion Wrestling has anything, for better or worse, it’s heart!

Mendoza kneels over a fallen Cross, running her fingers through her hair as she’s in an absolute panic! If that can’t put him away, she has no idea what can! She eventually gets Cross to his feet, the deadweight being heavier than every other time, before getting him positioned for Crash & Burn! But before she can drive him to the mat, Cross slips her grip and lands behind her, pushing her towards the ropes! Mendoza bounces off, returning to Cross to be hit with a SPINNING SPINEBUSTER!! SIGNATURE BY CROSS! But he’s not done, as he takes to the corner, yelling for Mendoza to get to her feet! You can tell he’s running purely by instinct and straight up adrenaline! She gets up, before Cross kicks her in the gut, hunching her over for Cross to hit the DEATH PENALTY DDT!!! CROSS GETS IT FULLY!! He goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

KICK OUT BY REINA MENDOZA!! SHE JUST KICKED OUT OF THE DEATH PENALTY!!

Tommy Green: HOW?! HOW ARE EITHER OF THESE TWO STILL GOING?!

Winter Mae: I can spin this all I want, Tommy, but truth is I have NO IDEA where all this is coming from now! This is insane!

Cross looks out into the crowd, wide-eyed yet expressionless! He has no idea how that didn’t put Mendoza away! Cross doesn’t linger on that for long, getting Mendoza to her feet and getting her in position for his signature Fallaway Slam! But Mendoza reverses, meekly throwing out Elbow after Elbow to Cross’ back in desperation, knowing that if he hits this move, the match is as good as over! Cross tries to continue on with the move, even going as far as to begin hoisting Mendoza up in the air! But the damage to the back is too much to bear, and Cross drops Mendoza onto the mat! Cross kneels over Mendoza, thinking he can just regain his bearings and return to the task at hand! But Mendoza is having none of it, grabbing Cross by the arm and hitting him with a Heart Punch! This sends Cross staggering back to his feet, with Mendoza slowly following! She jumps up and hits Cross with a Dropkick, sending him into the corner of the ring!

He falls into a seated position, and Mendoza takes advantage, preying on Cross with a set of vicious stomps to the chest! She taunts him for a bit, before stomping directly on his face! She pulls him out of the corner, before lifting him up and hitting him with CRASH & BURN!!! FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER CONNECTS!! She seems to want to go for the pin, but her rage exceeds her common sense, with her opting to lift Cross to his feet again and nail him with a SECOND CRASH & BURN!! She goes for the pin now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



James Buchanan: The winner of this match...Reina! Mendoza!

Tommy Green: I--I can’t believe it...this one is over...

Winter Mae: Reina Mendoza has done it...and with that...Anthony Cross is...gone...

Mendoza and Sinclair celebrate stoically in the middle of the ring, standing over a fallen Cross! They swiftly exit the ring, leaving him alone!

Cross slowly rises to his feet, looking disappointed, yet in a way relieved about the outcome of this match! He slowly looks out to the fans in confusion as they start to chant.

Crowd: THANK YOU, CROSS! THANK YOU, CROSS! THANK YOU, CROSS! THANK YOU, CROSS!

The Enforcer cracks a bit of a smile as “Natural Born Killaz” by Dr. Dre & Ice Cube blares through the arena for the last time, as Cross makes his way out of the ring and up the rampway! Cross raises his arms up as the backs up the ramp, then walks through the curtain as we fade out!

WINNER: REINA MENDOZA (VIA PINFALL)

[Intern]

The cameras moves backstage where Lily Lopez was standing by in her dressing room. There was no Jess Anderson, or Sabrina Ramirez, instead it was just the young woman who was looking a bit overwhelmed by the moment. But just as you thought she was in her own head, defeating herself, she gives off a smile.

Lily Lopez: Wow. We're literally here. War Games. Team Mayhem against Team Fusion. I'm in the ring with some of the best wrestlers in the world, some of them on my side, and the other standing on the opposite side of the ring. This is the MAIN EVENT!

Her voice cracks a bit as she screeches out the last two words of her sentence as the fans cheer as they watch on the big screen.

Lily Lopez: I can't lie, this feels amazing, but it isn't all sunshine and butterflies. I know that with everything this match does for my career, it can also shorten it. I'm clearly going to be the 'weak link' or target for Team Mayhem. I didn't technically qualify for the match, Ozzy beat me, but as his replacement, I'm viewed as the one that doesn't belong. And not only am I playing out of my league, at least according to my detractors, but this is a WAR GAMES match. All the training in the world can't properly prepare me for what's going to happen tonight.

So what's my gameplan? It's to go out there and be the best teammate I can be for Thora who I have a ton of respect for after our match recently, and for Mai and Helena too. This isn't MY moment, it's OUR MOMENT. It's about Friday Night Fusion, team Fusion, and proving to the Zion fans that the best action will always take place on Friday nights.

The fans were a bit split but more cheers than boos are heard for the passionate rookie.

Lily Lopez: I needed to take a moment to thank my sister, mentor, and best friend, Jessica Anderson. She's been like a big sister to me, making sure I've been okay while we work together and I've learned so much from her. But tonight, I realize it's my coming out party. I'm not JUST a tag team wrestler, or someone learning from someone else. I'm LILY LOPEZ and I'm living my dream. I want to thank my partners, for welcoming me onto the team, and to my opponents Nami, Faye, Tanja? This match is going to be hell, not just for me, or for my team, but for you ladies as well.

With a focused look of determination, Lily continues.

Lily Lopez: I've watched so many War Games matches to try and get an inkling of what this will be like, and while I'm sure I'll know after our match, I can anticipate a lot of violence, a lot of pain, and a lot of pushing each other to see who can get up when no one else can.

I respect Mayhem, but I truly believe that Fusion is the place to be, and I'm BEYOND PROUD to wave the flag for Team Fusion tonight. I don't even know what else to say, but to everyone who feels that I don't belong out there? Just watch what I do and know that win or lose, I'm going to leave it ALL out there. For you.

With a nervous smile, the rookie walks away from the camera, ready to compete in her first ever main event.







It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard

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!

As the lights dim and flash gold all over the arena, a lone spotlight forms at the entrance ramp. After a few moments, Steele Matthews walks out from behind the curtain with his Cheshire cat grin plastered across his face. As he applauds, within a few seconds in an arrogant and exaggerated fashion, Angel Kash herself, walks out as the fans boo loudly.

Hoppin' out the maserati
All I see is paparazzi
Snapping pictures for the
Front cover of a magazine
So I pose in everything I wear
Love to make the people stare
Always center of attention
Lookin' so bootylicious

Angel blows an arrogant kiss to the fans before doing a series of arrogant poses at the top of the ramp. She then says something to Steele as he first goes ahead, before the arrogant rich blonde bombshell does an arrogant supermodel like strut down to the ring, taunting the fans as she walks by them, before rudely sticking out her hand, and flipping her hair arrogantly as she brushes past the fans, not letting them even come close to touching her. She makes her way up the ring steps with Steele, holding her hand from the outside. Steele then hops up onto the apron Angel and holds the ropes open for her; she enters and poses in the center of the ring as the fans boo loudly. After that, she lays on the top turnbuckle nonchalantly taunting the fans as Steele hands her a mirror and she admires her beauty.



"Killer Queen" begins as the lights lower. Two strobe lights flash on the stage area, alternating between red and white. Slowly, Eden Sterling walks out onto the stage.

James Buchanan: And her opponent...from Austin, Texas...weighing in at 170 lbs…”The Killer Queen”...Eden! Sterling!

She gazes over the crowd with a smug smirk on her face as she readjusted her wrist gauntlets. She'll flip back the hood to her best and let out an almost banshee-like scream before walking calmly to the ring.

Sterling and Kash circle each other around the ring, gauging one other! Sterling seems super excited to be competing at this level, yet Kash seems a bit more dismissive! Sterling goes for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up, but Kash ducks out of the way, rolling under the bottom rope and out of the ring! She scales the ringside area, scolding Sterling as the upstart looks down and urges her to return to the ring! She advances closer to the ropes, to which the referee instructs her to back away! This distraction leaves Kash the opening to slide back into the ring and catch Sterling off guard with a Double Leg Takedown! She mounts the Killer Queen, landing a bevy of harsh close-fisted shots to the top of Sterling’s head! She pulls Sterling back to her feet by her hair, something the referee reprimands! Kash quickly breaks her grip of her opponent’s hair, bringing Sterling down with a Hair Pull Backbreaker! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

T-

Kick out by Sterling!

Tommy Green: What a slimy tactic by Angel Kash!

Winter Mae: Angel Kash will do whatever it takes to get a win here!

Kash pulls Sterling back to her feet, before Irish Whipping her into the corner! She takes her head and repeatedly bashes it into the top turnbuckle! She releases Sterling causing her to slump down into a seated position in the corner! Kash takes immediate advantage of this, pressing her foot against Sterling’s throat! The referee introduces a five count to the situation in order to get Kash to stop, but this however doesn’t cease her attempts! What instead puts a stop to the punishment is Sterling, who’s started to use her hands to pry Kash’s boot away from her! Kash looks on in shock as Sterling slowly makes it to her feet with her leg in tow! Eventually, Kash goes to make a swing at her to no avail, with Sterling dropping the leg and wrapping her arms around her to hit a Belly-To-Belly Suplex into the corner!

Kash is stuck upside down in the corner, with Sterling taking advantage! She runs across the ring before returning to Kash with a Dropkick in the corner! The shot turns her inside out, with Kash flipping face down to the mat in the blink of an eye! Sterling slides out of the ring in the process of the move, with her sliding right back into the ring just in time to see Kash attempting to crawl away! She catches her in the act, however, grabbing Kash from the mat and bringing her right back down with a Pumphandle Slam! She pops back up, letting out a huge battle cry to hype up the crowd, who respond in kind!

Tommy Green: The Ontario fans are loving Eden Sterling here tonight!

Winter Mae: She’s quickly becoming a fan favorite amongst the Mayhem fans and you can’t blame them! Her excitement for this sport is infectious!

Sterling turns around to catch Kash getting to her hands and knees in an attempt to get up! Sterling cuts off this attempt however, jumping up and landing right on her back with a Senton, flattening Kash! She uses her foot to flip Kash onto her back before quickly crushing her with a second Senton! Sterling with the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Kash! Sterling gets her up to her feet, with Kash quickly warding her off with an Eye Rake! The referee reprimands Kash once again as Sterling staggers back, trying to regain her vision! Kash shoves past the official, eagerly wanting to take advantage of this setback to Sterling! She sends a boot to Sterling’s gut, hunching her over, before clobbering her with a fist to her back! Sterling steps away, reeling in pain, before landing herself in the corner! With nowhere to go, Kash pounces on her competition, laying a stiff Knife Edge Chop across the chest of Sterling in the corner! She goes for a second, then a third, turning Sterling’s chest beet red, before climbing to the second rope and laying into her with a set of vicious, close-fisted punches to the head! Each shot permeates vitriol amongst the fans towards Kash exponentially!

Eventually, Sterling has enough, pushing Kash off of the second rope and away from her! Kash remains persistent however, rushing towards Sterling in the corner! But Sterling moves out of the way, leading Kash’s chest to hit the turnbuckles at full force! She takes immediate advantage of this, coming up from behind and getting a Schoolboy Roll Up on Kash!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Kash, who immediately rolls back to her feet! Sterling gets back up as well, catching Kash as she lunges at her with a Jumping Complete Shot! She rolls back to her feet over Kash, lifting her up before dropping her right back down with a DDT!

Tommy Green: Eden Sterling is killing it so far!

Winter Mae: Being the daughter of an all-time great like James Tsunami leaves some pretty big shoes to fill! It makes sense that Eden Sterling would do what she can to stand out, and with maneuvers like these, she’s well on her way to doing just that!

Sterling gets Kash back up to her feet, getting her in position for a Backdrop Driver, but Kash reverses, backing them both into the corner of the ring before sending an elbow to the side of Sterling’s head! She immediately takes advantage, wrapping an arm around her head and driving her to the mat with a Running Bulldog! Kash goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Sterling, the likes of which frustrate Kash! She gets to her feet, before repeatedly stomping on the chest and midsection of Sterling! The referee eventually backs Kash away as the strikes become more heavy handed, before checking on Sterling to see if she can continue in this match! She slowly starts rising to her feet, before Kash comes back in with a Running Knee Lift! She goes for another pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Sterling!

Tommy Green: No matter what tactics she puts forth, Angel Kash can’t seem to put Eden Sterling away!

Winter Mae: Eden Sterling is looking to prove herself here on one of the biggest stages in Zion Wrestling! There’s no way she’s gonna let this opportunity slip her grasp!

Kash gets Sterling to her feet by the arm, pushing her out before pulling her back in for a Lariat! But Sterling ducks underneath, pulling Kash in for Tiger Driver! But Angel Kash reverses, hooking her leg around Sterling’s and freeing her arms before going for a Victory Roll pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Sterling, but Kash is planning steps ahead! She jumps up right out of the pin, stomping her boot right into Sterling’s midsection, before flipping her over and going for the PRICELESS CLUTCH!! CAMEL CLUTCH IS IN!!

Tommy Green: Priceless Clutch! Angel Kash has this match in hand!

Winter Mae: It’s gonna be tough to get out of this one, Tommy! Eden Sterling’s PPV debut may well be over!

Sterling tries to reach for the ropes, but to no avail! She starts to make headway towards the ropes, coming close to getting her fingers on the bottom rope, but Kash is desperate to maintain control, wrenching the back even further to keep her hands away from the ropes! This eventually works to her detriment, with Sterling managing to get to her knees with Kash on her back! She slowly rises to her feet, with Kash in total shock as to how she’s able to escape this! Eventually she drops to her back with Kash in tow, landing right on top of her before flipping over and folding her down on the mat!

ONE…!

TWO…!

TH-

Kick out by Kash! But Sterling is already ready to finish her off, coming right back down from the pin to flip Kash over and get her into MISERY!! CROSSFACE APPLIED!! Kash is in trouble now, trying to reach for the ropes as Sterling wrenches her back! Sterling has it scouted however, grapevining her leg around the reaching arm in order to restrict Kash! The Trillion Dollar Princess is absolutely panicking now! She decides to take a chance, rolling over on Sterling at the risk of dislocating her shoulder in order to pin her shoulders to the mat!

ONE…!

TWO…!


THR-

Kick out by Sterling! Kash rolls over, clutching the arm and checking for damages. Sterling rolls onto her feet, before lifting Kash up as well! She seems to be looking to finish things, but Kash reverses with a shot to the midsection, before grabbing Sterling by the head and hitting the BUYOUT!! Kash with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Kick out by Sterling!

Tommy Green: Eden Sterling just won’t quit here!

Winter Mae: Eden Sterling has the drive and tenacity that so many Zion talents possess! You can tell that she won’t walk away with anything less than a win here tonight!

Kash is irate now! Stomping around the ring, unable to be contained! She proceeds to start stomping away at Sterling, once again prompting the official to step in! He checks on Sterling again, not knowing that he just played into Kash’s hand! Knowing that the official would be distracted checking on Sterling, she grabs a pair of brass knuckles from behind the turnbuckle and puts them on! Sterling rises to her feet once again, before Kash goes to take a swing at her with the brass knuckles! But Sterling ducks underneath, trapping Kash in and hitting her with an STO! She grabs the brass knuckles from around Kash’s hand and takes a good look at it. With a light snicker, she throws the weapon out of the ring! Before getting Kash to her feet and taking her down with a Tiger Suplex! Sterling with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

TH-

Kick out by Kash! Sterling is in shock, but she’s ready to end things now! She takes to the corner, getting ready to unload on Kash with a devastating move! Kash makes it to her feet, before Sterling goes for Eat This! But Kash ducks underneath it, with the referee in perfect position to be leveled by the Discus Lariat! Sterling is paralyzed as she looks down at the prone official, but snaps back into the match once Kash grabs her by the shoulder! Sterling kicks her in the gut, before going for the ropes and hitting her with the QUEEN CUTTER!! She goes for the pin, but the referee is still out cold! She gets off of Kash, kneeling beside her prone body, before deciding to get up and wake up the referee!

The referee starts to come to, beginning to stir on the canvas, but isn’t in position in time to see a hooded figure pop into the ring behind Sterling! The hooded figure hits her with a Backstabber, lifting her back to her feet and taking her down with a Perfect Plex, all as Angel Kash looks on!

Tommy Green: What the---who is that?

Winter Mae: I don’t know, but she must clearly have it out for Eden Sterling here for some reason!

The hooded figure leaves the ring as the referee begins to get to his feet. Kash is completely flabbergasted, but still takes advantage, going for the pin right as the referee is ready to count it!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



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

Tommy Green: Angel Kash sneaks a win away from the young rookie Eden Sterling!

Winter Mae: And it’s all thanks to that hooded assailant, whoever they may be!

Tommy Green: I think we’re about to find out now! Look at this!

Angel Kash kneels over Eden Sterling in complete shock, however the hooded figure isn’t done yet! They approach Kash and she cowers away, making it clear that even she doesn’t even know who this person is. They hunch over a petrified Kash, as they lift their hood to reveal that it’s…

Tommy Green: IT’S SUMMER PAGE!! SUMMER PAGE IS IN ZION WRESTLING!!

Winter Mae: Summer Page just came here to aid her best friend and fellow Socialite, Angel Kash! Though I doubt Eden Sterling is going to be at all happy with this!

Kash’s look of fear suddenly turns to delight, cracking a smile as Page lifts her up to her feet! The two celebrate over a prone Eden Sterling as we fade out!

WINNER: ANGEL KASH (VIA PINFALL)

Alex Lawson: The following contest...is scheduled for one fall...

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: ...and it is for...The Zion Wrestling Viral! Championship!



The lights are off! Before a mischievous laugh sounded from the darkness, a cloud of smoke rose before the sound of the music. The entire field of fire turned purple, the smoke faded to Maki, standing with a wicked smile and full of plots that many could not have guessed before she walked over to take the drink from the audience. drink water in front Before laughing at the audience, she walked onto the stage confidently spreading her arms before waiting for her opponent.



The lights go down and then red lights blink on the stage as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart begins to play.

Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a…
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a Warrior!

A spotlight shines on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors from behind, arms outstretched. She turns around right as the guitar riffs and pumps a fist with a smile across her face. She looks out at the crowd and nods a few times before she begins walking down the ramp.

Jordan keeps her eyes on the ring as she heads down the rampway. She gets to the bottom of the ramp and surveys the crowd once more before running and sliding into the ring. She stays on her stomach. She leans on her elbows and kicks her feet behind her before rolling to her feet. Jordan runs and jumps up on the nearest corner and puts one arm up as she looks out at the crowd and nods her head.

Megumi starts the match off hot, rushing Majors with a Running Big Boot in the corner that catches her off guard! Megumi proceeds to keep the assault coming immensely, smacking Majors with a set of stiff Forearms and Punches in the corner! The referee is eventually forced to step in, pulling Megumi away from a now seated and defenseless Majors! She backs away in a surprisingly peaceful manner, throwing her hands up in a gesture of meaning no harm! However, this is quickly and obviously discovered as her being facetious, with Megumi going right back after Majors with a set of vicious stomps against the corner turnbuckles! The referee looks as though he’s going to have to step in once again, but Majors is there to provide no need for it, catching a boot from Megumi and pushing it away! Megumi is shocked as she’s thrown into the center of the ring! Meanwhile, Majors is up and ready for a fight from her challenger!

Megumi charges right back after Majors, but she reverses with a Stiff Back Elbow to the side of Megumi’s head! She takes Megumi’s head into her hands, bashing it into the top turnbuckle with a certain viciousness to it! She bashes her face into it again, then a third time! She goes for a fourth, but Megumi uses her hands to catch the ropes and block the shot! Majors is having none of this however, swiftly smacking Megumi over the side of her head in frustration, before bashing her head into the turnbuckle again! Megumi stumbles out of the corner, allowing Majors to capitalize with a kick to the side of the head, causing her head to shoot up right into a German Suplex by Majors! She bridges for the pin!

Majors gets back to her feet immediately following this, going to the ropes and hitting a Springboard Moonsault! She rolls back her feet, immediately backing into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and splattering Megumi with a Rolling Thunder! Majors capitalizes immediately, getting Megumi up to her feet, before dragging her over to the corner and propping her on the top rope! It seems as though she may be going for a big slam to the mat, but we’ll never know, as Megumi sends a kick straight to her chest, pushing her back! Majors staggers into the center of the ring, not able to return to Megumi on time to stop her from leaping from the top rope, twisting in midair to land on Major’s shoulders for a Reverse Hurricanrana! Another pin by Megumi!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Majors! Megumi kneels over her fallen opponent, letting out a bit of a chuckle before proceeding to downright bully the Viral Champion! She pushes her head as she raises it off the canvas, rattling off insults in her native Japanese language, some of which are more than likely not suitable to a program like this one! Despite Megumi’s incessant insistence and egging, Major’s continues to try and get up, all while Megumi continues to shove her face away! Majors begins to look increasingly frustrated in alignment with the violence of the pushes, eventually getting to her feet and taking one last face mush by Megumi! Majors responds angrily with a violent shove back, and the fight is on!

Majors and Megumi start to come to blows in the center of the ring, throwing Forearm after Forearm at each other in unison as the animosity between the two begins to reach a critical level! Megumi eventually gains the upper hand in the exchange, catching Majors off guard with a Kick to the side of her midsection, before clipping her on the side of her head with a Spinning Backfist! She takes one look at Majors, however, and deciding that one wasn’t enough, smacks Majors with a second Spinning Backfist! Megumi then runs the ropes, looking to catch Majors with a more hard hitting move, if ever there were one! But Majors reverses, catching Megumi with a Stiff European Uppercut! Megumi doesn’t fall from this however, instead standing straight up to her opposition and asking for more! Majors delivers, going for a Superkick, but Megumi catches it! Before she capitalizes on the advantage she has however, Megumi’s hands get slapped away by Majors, who strikes her with a successful Superkick! Megumi falters leaning into the chest of Majors, who gets her in position and drops her with a Swinging Fisherman Suplex! Majors with the pin!

ONE…!

Kick out by Megumi! Majors gets her up to her feet, Irish Whipping her into the ropes, before running at her and going for the Donk Bonk! But Megumi gets the knees up, digging them right into Majors’ back, before pushing Majors into the opposite corner of the ring! She chases her there, nailing her with a Running Forearm into the corner! She then grabs a hold of Majors’ legs and drapes them over the back of her shoulders! She starts to pull her out of the corner, before carrying her to the middle of the ring and hitting her with an Inverted Alabama Slam! Majors hits the mat face first and Megumi goes for the pin!

ONE…!

Kick out by Majors! Megumi gets Majors to her feet, before connecting with an Enziguri that sends her down with her head draped against the ropes!

Majors back onto the mat, sending Megumi throat-first into the top rope and causing her to spill out of the ring! Majors capitalizes on this quickly, stepping out onto the apron and bouncing off with a Moonsault as Megumi gets to her feet! She gets to her feet, feeding off the crowd’s adrenaline and high fiving a few fans in the front row! All this grandstanding ends up working to Majors' detriment however, with Megumi being able to push her into the barricade almost as soon as she tries to lift her up! Majors goes down, and Megumi re-enters the ring! Seeing an opportunity as Majors gets to her feet, Megumi hits the ropes, taking her down with a Suicide Dive!

CHAMPIONSHIP RETAINED

[Intern]

James Buchanan: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Zion Wrestling National Championship. Introducing first, the challenger, he weighed in at two hundred and seventy-five pounds, he hails from The Great City of Chelsea, representing THE Beautification Movement, he is the Mayhem Chance Briefcase Holder, THE Big Bull… TAURUS!

The lights go completely out as “Get Up On My Level” by Mike Zombie Ft. Aja Elan begins to play. Gold lights flash to the beat with the first words of the song proclaiming “I'm a legend, I'm a god” as a single spotlight shines down on an absolutely hulking figure in a sleeveless black hooded robe trimmed in gold. As the music picks up, TAURUS throws his head back and stretches his arms out, gold pyro erupting as the hood flies back off his head. He marches down to the ring, the spotlight following him the whole way. When he reaches the ring, he hops right up onto the apron and steps over the top rope. He moves to the middle of the ring as the chorus kicks in

“Get up on my level dawg its time to level up

Money, power, greed, no y'all just can't get enough

Flexin' on my enemies

Now I've reached the pinnacle”

He stands in the spotlight and spins showing off the words THE Beautification Muscle in gold script on the back of his jacket. He stands in the spotlight, flexes, then pulls his robe open to show off his impressive physique. He basks in the spotlight and attention for a few more seconds before his music fades out and the lights return to normal.

Tommy Green: The big man looks fired up tonight and he looked a little bit leaner than usual.

Winter Mae: I think he’s trimmed down, maybe been focusing on cardio and agility since Tessa is so quick and flexible.

James Buchanan: His opponent, she weighs in at one hundred and fifteen pounds, she hails from Wilmington North Carolina, she is the defending Zion Wrestling National Champion, The Ring Jester… TESSA WHITMOYER!

Mental Hopscotch By The Missing Persons begins to play over the loudspeakers as Tessa Whitmoyer runs out laughing carrying her baseball bat in hand posing with it... Confetti cannons go off spraying red and black confetti everywhere before she runs to the ring sliding in and posing on the top rope with a sadistic smile.

Tommy Green: Tessa Whitmoyer her usual self tonight. She not only seemingly has no fear of TAURUS, but she’s been goading him into this fight.

Winter Mae: She’s giving up a foot and a half, and over a hundred and sixty pounds. She can’t use the weed whacker or the bat, so she better have one hell of a plan.

TAURUS fires out of his corner as soon as the bell rings and just runs through Tessa with a shoulder block. The big bull brings Tessa up and puts her straight back down with a scoop slam. An elbow drop follows and the cover, nope, TAURUS just pulls Tessa up, whips her across the ring, and catches her with a big powerslam when she returns. Another pick-up, another Irish whip, and this time it’s a tilt-a-whirl slam. TAURUS pulls Tessa up and whips her into the corner. The big bull charges in with a clothesline and The National Champion is in bad shape early on. TAURUS smirks as he looks at her.

TAURUS: Now we’re gonna play my new game. It’s called, toss the Tessa.

TAURUS grabs his tormentor by the throat with both hands, lifts her up, and then throws her with an overhead choke toss, sending her almost all the way across the ring. Tessa slowly pulls herself up in the corner, but as soon as she gets to her feet, TAURUS is there with an avalanche splash. Tessa stumbles out of the corner and right to TAURUS who hauls her up for a vertical suplex. The big bull decides to show off a bit, holding Tessa high in the air as he flexes. After nearly thirty seconds, TAURUS drives Tessa down to the mat, kips up, and flexes for the crowd, some of them actually cheering for The Big Bull due to Tessa’s recent treatment. TAURUS steps back towards the ropes, waits for Tessa, and when she’s up to her feet he charges in and nearly decapitates her with The Nail Gun. TAURUS now decides to make the cover

ONE…

TWO…

THR - KICK OUT!!

Tommy Green: Tessa Whitmoyer with the kick out, somehow withstanding that offensive onslaught from her larger stronger opponent.

Winter Mae: I don’t know what her plan is, but currently, it seems to be, let TAURUS beat the hell out of me.

TAURUS brings Tessa up by her hair, getting a warning from the official, which he doesn’t take very seriously or kindly, instead, he does a hair-assisted Biel throw. Tessa pulls herself up on the ropes and TAURUS runs right into her before sending her across with an Irish whip. TAURUS plants Tessa in the middle of the ring with a spinebuster and covers for a close 2 count. TAURUS brings Tessa up and it’s time for another game of Toss the Tessa, this time he uses the standard overhead belly to belly. Another cover and another kick out. TAURUS pulls Tessa up once more and hits a perfect Northern Lights suplex, has the bridge and somehow The Ring Jester kicks out once more.

TAURUS: Alright fine, we’re done. You can tap out now.

TAURUS brings Tessa up one more time and hits a big jumping sidewalk slam, sits up, and flexes before he stands and puts Tessa right In The Scrum. TAURUS has the devastating inverted sharpshooter locked on, applied perfectly, and great ring positioning. The faces Tessa makes show she is in pain, but she starts to giggle a bit and that seems to catch TAURUS off guard, allowing her to lunge for the ropes. TAURUS stops her short and leans down to apply more pressure

Tessa Whitmoyer: STOP IT MOO COW! DAT HURTS!

Again The Big Bull is thrown off a bit as she’s laughing, and another lunge gets her to the bottom rope and the call for the break. TAURUS doesn’t break, opting to keep the hold applied and the ref begins their count.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

FOUR...

Tommy Green: TAURUS breaking right before the ref reaches five, but I don’t know if I would have blamed him for just keeping it locked on.

Winter Mae: He’s angry and pissed and definitely looking for revenge, but that man wants gold, and he’s not dumb enough to get himself disqualified.

Tommy Green: I just don’t get why Tessa was laughing and giggling. We know she is tough and… eccentric, but this isn’t the time for that.

TAURUS stares down the ref for a few seconds, then turns back to Tessa and hauls her up onto his shoulder. TAURUS charges for a running powerslam, but Tessa manages to slide off and hits a dropkick to the back. Tessa connects with a slingblade and takes a few seconds to catch her breath as she smiles and waves to the crowd. Both get to their feet at the same time and Tessa charges right at TAURUS looking for a headscissors, but instead, she gets dropped with a facebuster. TAURUS shakes the cobwebs, pulls Tessa up, and looks for the powerslam once more, but Tessa again slides off and this time she catches him with an inverted DDT. A tornado DDT is up next and The Big Bull is a little bit loopy, but he still manages to catch her with a big spinning side slam. TAURUS rolls back instead of covering and he gets set for something big. Tessa is wobbly, but smiling as she gets up to her feet. TAURUS sees that smile and it might as well be a bright red cape as he comes in with the Big Bull Charge, only for Tessa to leap over him as she shows off her gymnastic background. Tessa sticks the landing, runs to the ropes, and then it’s time for a bit of Now You See Me Now You Don't. Tessa and TAURUS both go down, but it looks like that impressive bit of athleticism was a sort of desperation move.

Tommy Green: Tessa Whitmoyer very impressive there, hits the big elbow, but she can’t capitalize.

Winter Mae: TAURUS has been in control for most of this match, but Tessa is proving to be tough and she is really frustrating The Big Bull.

Tommy Green: Maybe that’s her plan, frustrate him, tire him out, get a big move to knock him down, and then hit The Grand Finale?

Tessa rolls to the ropes and pulls herself up as TAURUS slowly starts to stand, but Tessa catches him with a bulldog as he’s on one knee. Tessa hits a big spinning back kick to the stomach as TAURUS stands back up, then it’s a big jumping knee to the face. Tessa is building some momentum as she delivers a spinning front roundhouse kick to the head of The Big Bull. Tessa hits the ropes and looks for the big running tornado DDT, but TAURUS shoves her off and plows through her with a shoulder tackle. The big bull takes a few seconds to recover, then it’s another big shoulder tackle as Tessa gets to her feet. A scoop slam and a leg drop combination are up next and they score a 2 count, but as Tessa starts giggling, TAURUS gets pissed, hauls The Ring Jester up by her hair, and delivers a massive pumphandle slam. TAURUS steps back a bit, waiting for Tessa. The National Champion is slow to get up and this time she can’t avoid The Big Bill Charge, as she’s nearly ripped in half. TAURUS makes the cover

ONE…

TWO…

THRE - KICK OUT!!

Tommy Green: WHAT THE HELL! How in the world did Tessa Whitmoyer kick out after that massive spear?

Winter Mae: I don’t know, but damn is that girl tough. Or maybe she’s just crazy, probably a lot of both.

TAURUS is furious, screaming at the ref that it was a bloody three count. Tessa starts giggling on the mat and TAURUS turns back towards her with a glare. TAURUS rushes leaps up and goes for the leg drop, but Tessa rolls out of the way. As TAURUS sits there in pain, Tessa rolls to her stomach, hands under her chin as she smiles while kicking her feet in the air. Tessa then hops hop and hits a basement dropkick to The big bull. Tessa hits the ropes and looks for a springboard moonsault, but she lands on the knees of TAURUS. The Big Bull is quick to power Tessa up and the third time is the charm as he connects with the running powerslam and gets a 2 count. TAURUS screams at the ref, yanks Tessa up by her hair and it’s time for round three of toss the Tessa, TAURUS grabs The ring jester by her ears and nearly rips them off as he sends her flying through the air. The crowd is split, some impressed by the sheer brutality and power of The big bull. TAURUS grabs Tessa by the hair once again, but he’s caught with a jawbreaker, followed by a step-up enziguri that staggers him. Tessa goes to the apron, leaps up, and looks to take The big bull down with a big crossbody, but TAURUS catches her out of mid-air and shows her what true Raw Power looks like, driving her down into the mat. TAURUS is into the cover

ONE…

TWO…

THRE - KICK OUT!!

Tommy Green: How in the hell did Tessa Whitmoyer kick out once again?

Winter Mae: The National Champion showing her resilience right now, but The Big Bull just keeps pounding her.

TAURUS is fuming as he takes a few deep breaths to try and calm himself down. He marches over to Tessa, hauls her off the mat, and hits a big pendulum backbreaker, then stretches her out over his knee, applying a modified abdominal stretch. Tessa alternates between giggling and howling in pain, but when she says

Tessa Whitmoyer: Moo cow, dat tickles!

TAURUS throws her off and starts stomping around the ring in frustration. TAURUS hauls Tessa up, but she connects with a big gamengiri, then a running sole butt to the midsection. Some stiff kicks to the legs follow, then a big roundhouse attempt that TAURUS ducks and quickly follows with a massive German suplex. No bridge into the pin, instead TAURUS rolls through, brings Tessa up, and delivers a spinning Saito suplex. TAURUS doesn’t cover, intent to do more damage as he brings Tessa up and hits a single knee gutbuster before delivering a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. TAURUS looks ready to end it once and for all as he brings Tessa up onto his shoulders, showing The Ring Jester a bit of Her Majesty’s Pleasure. TAURUS has The National Champion over his shoulders, applying the pressure, really stretching Tessa out. Tessa looks like she’s fading a bit when she reaches her hand up and grabs the small bit of facial hair on TAURUS chin, using that to turn his head slightly as she spits some neon green Sour Slime Candy!!!!, catching TAURUS in the left eye. Tessa quickly takes advantage and transitions right into the Ferris Wheel Of Pain, spiking TAURUS head first into the mat, but that might have been a last-ditch effort.

Tommy Green: Shouldn’t that be a disqualification? What? It’s candy so it doesn’t count. That’s almost as crazy as Tessa.

Winter Mae: If you can get away with it, do it. Especially when a behemoth has you locked in a freaking torture rack.

Tommy Green: I suppose. She did look close to passing out in that submission hold from TAURUS! Still, she’s yet to even get a pin attempt in this match.

TAURUS rolls to the ropes and pulls himself over to the corner. He demands some water and starts flushing his eyes as Tessa lays on the mat giggling and smiling. Tessa slowly gets up as TAURUS is making sure his eyes are clear and he can see. Unfortunately what he sees is Tessa Whitmoyer running straight at him with the running knees. TAURUS’ head bounces off the turnbuckle and he rolls out of the corner, stands up and he is punch drunk as he takes a wild swing at the air. Tessa takes advantage of this and goes to the legs once more, hitting several stiff kicks, right, left, right, back and forth until The big bull buckles, and goes down to a knee. Tessa hits the ropes and comes in with a big shining wizard to take TAURUS down, but he doesn’t stay down very long. When The big bull does get up there, he’s still woozy and wobbly, so Tessa hops over the top rope, lands on the apron, leaps up and it’s time for a springboard hurricanrana, or it would be if TAURUS didn’t catch her and drive Tessa down with a ring shaking sit-out powerbomb. TAURUS rolls back off the bog counter and takes a few seconds to collect himself as Tessa moves to the corner and slowly pulls herself up, only to get blasted by a running European uppercut. TAURUS stays on the attack with a big enziguri, follows with the swinging side slam backbreaker and it’s time to finish off THE Display with an incredible split-legged moonsault. TAURUS hooks the leg and covers

ONE…

TWO…

THREE - KICK OUT!!

Tommy Green: WHAT! The ref says Tessa got her shoulder up just before the hand came down. I thought we had a new National Champion right there.

Winter Mae: You and me both. TAURUS with that incredible combination of moves ends it with that beautiful moonsault, but still, he can’t put Tessa Whitmoyer away.

TAURUS is absolutely livid as Tessa kicks out once again. He starts screaming at the ref that it was three, insistent that it’s over and the official needs to raise his hand in victory. The ref tells him it was close, but she did get her shoulder up in time. TAURUS looks ready to play a game of toss the referee, but he just turns away, pulls Tessa up by her hair, and then drives her down with a scoop slam. Another pick-up by the hair and a second scoop slam. If it’s good twice, why not do it a third time, TAURUS is still very much in control as he brings Tessa up, shoots her across the ropes, and sets for El Toro De La Muerte. Unfortunately for the challenger, the champions counters into a beautiful hurricanrana. TAURUS is up first, but Tessa grabs his hand, twists, and takes control of The big bull’s wrist. Tessa uses the ropes to her advantage as she jumps to the middle rope, then the top rope, back down to the middle, she drops to her back, hitting the top rope. She uses that momentum to go into a one-handed rope handstand and kicks TAURUS right in the face before she drops back, feet on the middle rope, top rope, she leaps over the turnbuckle, to the other rope, turns, and hits TAURUS with a big knee to the face as she comes off, using a modified version of her normal tightrope walk, she lands on the mat and uses all the momentum, confusion and those big strikes to catch TAURUS in a beautiful mousetrap pinning hold.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE!

James Buchanan: Your winner and STILL Zion Wrestling National Champion, The Ring Jester… TESSA WHITMOYER!

Tommy Green: HOLY CRAP! Tessa Whitmoyer with an incredible series of hops and jumps, went to the top, the middle, from one side to the next, she twisted and turned him around, and then she

Winter Mae: Did what no one else in Zion Wrestling has been able to do so far. Tessa Whitmoyer retains the National Championship and pins TAURUS with an incredible and inventive series right there.

Tessa is all smiles and giggles as she has her hand raised, takes the title, and escapes as TAURUS looks to attack her from behind. The Big Bull is livid as he flips out and starts destroying anything in sight. He rips a turnbuckle pad right off the cover, nearly boots the referee, and does boot Jobber Joe as he’s the first one to try and stop the rampaging bull. Hot Sawse is up next, but they stand no chance as TAURUS clotheslines both of them, TAURUS takes Mikey II Spicy and tosses him out of the ring, right into two security team members. The first security guard eats a Nail Gun., and the next is taken down by a shoulder tackle while Tessa is watching from the apron, giggling and smiling as she holds her National title in one hand and a mic in the other.

Tessa Whitmoyer: Just like the pied piper led rats through the streets... Watch as he dances like a marionette... Singing to the symphony of destruction…

Tessa stops singing and smiles as she waves at TAURUS and starts moving up the ramp.

Tessa Whitmoyer: Remember Moo Cow... The worst things come from inside here... Thanks for playing…

Tommy Green: Was this Tessa’s plan all along? Let the big man tire himself out and catch him with a crazy series of moves and that tight pin?

Winter Mae: It certainly seems like it. You can question if it was genius, insane, or both, but Tessa Whitmoyer is STILL Zion Wrestling National Champion.

Inside the ring, Sterling Jamison White is hit with El Toro De La Muerte, then Benito Wallace is snatched up off the mat, lifted into the military press, and sent flying onto three members of the security team. Finally, the rest of the security team and all of the enhancement roster are out to subdue TAURUS as Juliana Mendoza marches down the ramp with a mic in hand.

Juliana Mendoza: Okay big man, it’s time to calm down. Remember, YOU are still THE holder of the Mayhem Chance Briefcase and that means you are THE future Zion Wrestling Champion.

TAURUS is still fuming, his nostrils flaring as he breathes deep, but Juliana’s reminder seems to calm him down and she demands they release him. Security reluctantly pulls back and TAURUS storms off, stepping over the top rope. He hops off the apron, yanks his Chance briefcase away from one of the attendants and THE Beautification Movement pair make their exit as Juliana is still working to calm down The Big Bull.

WINNER: TESSA WHITMOYER (VIA PINFALL)

Alex Lawson: The following Triple Threat contest...is scheduled for one fall...

Crowd: ONE FALL

Alex Lawson: And it is for the Zion Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship!



The lights go out. The haunting ballad of “Lux Aeterna” begins to play. As the son plays the lights don’t come back on, the haunting ballad continues to play. Finally the fans are given relief as the lights in the arena come back to life. Already in the ring sitting on the mat, sitting in the corner is Zachary Porter wearing a leather jacket. Intense focus can be read on his face. His eyes are closed as the song continues to play. The minute the song stops he opens his eyes. He doesn’t move until the match starts.



“Skeleton Key” Plays Over The PA System And We Hear These Words Open The Song...
"In Another Life, Another Place... There Was A Shadow Without A Face.
I Could See... The Survivors, Were Few...
Memories To Which I Cling, Things I Do And Songs I Sing...
They All... Bring Me Back, To You..."

Then, After The Intro Ends And We Hit The Chorus, Out From The Curtain Comes Solomon Graham, To Nothing But Cheers And Applause. We See That Solomon Has A Roll Of White Hockey Tape In His Left Hand, But Soon He Transfers The Roll Of Tape To The Other Hand, Before Slowly Raising It High In The Air (To A Massive Pop, Of Course). He Puts His Hands On His Hips Before Smirking And Shaking His Head In Disbelief. After All He’s Been Through, All The Grief And Turmoil, And Especially Those Devastating Losses… The Fans Remain Loyal To Him. He Then Proceeds To Take A Strip Of Tape From The Roll And Wrap His Right Wrist Up In Tape.

After Wrapping It In About Five Layers Of Tape, He Then Turns It Diagonally And Proceeds To Also Wrap His Knuckles In Tape As Well, All The While Slowly And Methodically Walking Towards The Ring. He Then Bites The Tape In Two, Wrapping The Strip Still Connected To The Roll Back On And Wrapping The Strip Attached To Him Around The Knuckle, Before Driving His Right Hand Directly Into His Open Left Hand And Walking To The Ring, On The Way Stopping To Play To The Fans, Letting Them Know That They Are “ENTIRELY Too Quiet!!” Before Pumping Them Up.

Once We Hear Some Noise From Them, He Yells Once Again: “C’MON, I CAN’T FUCKIN’ HEAR YA!!!!” At Which Point The Roof Blows Off The Place. He Then Climbs The Ring Steps Onto The Apron, Before Wiping His Feet. He Then Steps Into The Ring, Gets Into His Corner And Stares Across At His Opponent.



The lights are set to a green hue while "Coming Thru The Stereo" plays throughout the arena. Right after the guitar kicks in, the crowd cheers, with The Fallen Prophet Serena Riot making her way down. She raises her hands and does a quick spin. After staring at the crowd for a moment, she makes a slow crawl to the ring. Once inside, She jumps up on the bottom right turnbuckle, with pyro going off on the other 3 corners.

Alex Lawson: Introducing the challengers...first, from Laredo, Texas...weighing in at 190 lbs...Zachary! Porter!

Up next...from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada...weighing in at 220 lbs...The Wired King...Solomon! Graham!

And their opponent...from Cleveland, Ohio...weighing in at 150 lbs...she is the Zion Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion...SERENA! RIOT!



The match begins and each competitor in it is clearly a bit tentative! While these three have a lot of respect for each other and their skills, they also know just how dangerous they can be! Riot is the first to strike, taking Porter down with a Knee Strike! She and Graham begin to trade strikes in unison, with Graham getting the upper hand early with a Spinning Backfist! He takes a stunned Riot down with a Snapmare before setting in a Chinlock! Riot is in trouble now, as due to the Triple Threat stipulation, the ropes couldn’t help her even if she could reach them! Riot decides to shift her weight back, forcing herself up her feet as Graham keeps the Chinlock applied! She gets a hold on the back of Graham’s head, reaching her feet before dropping him and herself with an Inverted Jawbreaker! The shot sends Graham tumbling back, right into a German Suplex from Zachary Porter! He bridges for the pin!

Porter breaks up the pin! He gets Graham to his feet, before laying into him with a Knife Edge Chop! Graham responds, striking Porter with a Chop of his own! Porter recoils, before cocking back and lighting up Graham’s chest with another Chop! Soon enough, the two get into a war of Chops, much like their match from weeks ago! This continues until Riot gets to her feet, who approaches both of them, first Chopping Porter across the chest, then Graham! Porter responds, Chopping Riot across the chest! Graham’s turn comes next, lashing onto Porter with a Chop! Riot goes next, hitting Graham once again with a Chop! She pauses for a moment, before deciding to get a measure of payback on Porter, hitting him with a Chop too! Graham interjects, leathering Riot with a Chop, then Porter! Porte decides he’s had enough of everyone laying into him, cutting into Riot with a Chop, then Graham! The three recoil for a bit, before the three all go for a Chop on each other all at the same time!

All three competitors stagger back, clutching their chests as each one of them turns beat red, with Porter’s especially starting to sport little blots of blood! Riot is the first to take advantage, jumping up and catching Porter with a Knee Strike! She hardly has time to capitalize, getting trapped in a Crossface Chicken Wing by Graham! Riot is in trouble now, immediately stepping up to the corner so she can fold up Graham, rolling Graham up for a pin!

Porter slowly gets to his feet, with Riot running onto the apron and catching him with a Missile Dropkick as well! Graham and Porter stand to return to their feet at the same time, with Riot seeing an opportunity to take them both down! She rolls back into the ring, hitting the ropes before going for a Suicide Dive to Porter and Graham! But the two work together to ward her off, hitting her with dual Superkicks as she sticks her head through the ropes!

Riot is now left hanging over the middle rope halfway out of the ring, as Graham and Porter proceed to fight on! Porter fights Graham over to the corner of the barricade, before stepping back and attempting to throw him over with a Clothesline! But Graham reverses, throwing her over the barricade with a Back Body Drop! Porter disappears among the sea of fans as Graham takes a moment to catch his breath! But he hardly has time to do that before Riot comes back into the fray with a Spinning Back Elbow against the barricade! She takes Graham back over to the ring and rolls him onto the apron, before climbing up after him! She gets him to his feet, putting him position for Psychosis onto the ring apron! But Graham reverses, dumping Riot back first onto the apron with Back Body Drop!

Graham uses his foot to roll Riot fully into the ring before going for the pin!

Riot collects her title, raising it up in the air before proceeding to exit the ring with it! Porter is still iaid out in the center of the ring, with Graham having rolled out already. Just then, a hooded figure jumps in from the crowd, before wailing into Porter with a series of stiff strikes! The hooded figure gets Porter to his feet, with the two getting into a bit of a scuffle. The whole thing results in Porter getting the hood off of his attacker to reveal that it’s…

Ashlynn Cassidy vs Marilyn Matthews
War Games 2021

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



The arena lights go out as the intro to “Tell you like this” by Snow tha Product kicks up. As the lyrics kick on a lavender spotlight illuminates the entrance.

Bro, I'ma tell you like this

I am not the one, little son
Better, better run with the gun
I'ma tell you like this
Fuck you and fuck where you from
Gotta say the word once and it's done

Marilyn Matthews comes out and stands with her arms out. She has a smirk on her face as she looks out at the crowd. She starts to stroll towards the ring. Her pace is steady if not a little slow. She dances along with the music as she heads towards the ring.

I'ma tell you like this

We can get it crackin' little bitch

Boy, quit with all that attitude, sis

I'ma tell you like this

Better man up little jit

Lemme know if it's a problem, it's lit

Mary climbs the steps onto the apron. She steps between the ropes and then rushes towards one of the far turnbuckles. She climbs up to the middle rope and throws her arms out in that signature ‘release the doves’ pose.

Still a big talker, 'cause I got the biggest follow through

I follow money, you tryna get hoes to follow you

I am mad at you

How you hung around me and your

Dumb ass never learned how to keep it G?

She holds the pose for a few moments before dropping down and getting ready for her match.

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...from Asheville, North Carolina...weighing in at 127 lbs...Marilyn! Matthews!

And her opponent...from Calgary, Alberta, Canada...127 lbs...she is the Zion Wrestling Champion…The “Killer Counter Queen”...ASHLYNN! CASSIDY!

The bell rings and these two begin the prowl, circling around each other before locking up in the center of the ring! Cassidy initially gets the upper hand, wrenching the arm of Matthews before maneuvering behind her and pinning it on her back! Matthews is quick to go on the offensive, throwing an elbow over to Cassidy to ward her off! But the champion has this telegraphed, ducking underneath and hooking Matthews’ arm around her head in the process! She uses her free arm to hook Matthews’ leg, looking for an Inverted Exploder Suplex! But Matthews lands on her feet off of it, landing right behind Cassidy! She pushes her into the ropes, before folding her in with a O’Connor Roll!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Cassidy! The Zion Champion sits on the mat, looking up at Matthews as she stands and taunts! The oo’s and aa’s of the fans in attendance begin to crescendo at the sight of the near fall!

Tommy Green: Marilyn Matthews just came super close to running away with this thing early!

Winter Mae: That’s how Matthews is gonna persist on operating for the duration of this match! She isn’t focused on proving herself or fulfilling personal grudges! She sees that Zion Wrestling Championship as another belt to throw in the pile! In her eyes, the sooner she can do that, the better!

Cassidy gets to her feet, before the two begin to shuffle around the ring once again! They lock up again, this time with Matthews gaining control by slipping behind with a Waistlock! Cassidy almost immediately finds a way to escape, transitioning into a Side Headlock on Matthews! She has the hold wrenched in tight, but Matthews is eventually able to find an out, backing Cassidy into the ropes and bouncing her off, sending her across the ring! Cassidy hits the ropes, returning to a Dropkick from Matthews! Cassidy pushes her away, leaving her to hit the mat instead! Matthews tries to get to her feet, but gets immediately put into a Ripcord position by Cassidy! She pushes her out, potentially looking for Period, Peace! But just as Cassidy pulls her in, Matthews jumps up and hits her with a Dropkick!

Matthews stands over prone Cassidy, before pulling her head up and looking for a Dragon Sleeper! But Cassidy escapes this, slipping between Matthews’ legs and tripping her face first to the mat from behind! She pops back to her feet, stomping Matthews on the back as she tries to get to her feet! She drops a knee onto the side of her back, before hooking Matthews’ right arm underneath hers, wrenching it back as she screams out in pain! Matthews uses her free hand to create some space between Cassidy’s knee in her back! All the while, Cassidy wrenches the arm back further, desperately trying to maintain the control she has over his match! Matthews is eventually able to break free, rolling onto her back and lifting up her legs in order to wrap Cassidy in an Inverted Headscissors Lock!

Tommy Green: The champ is in trouble here!

Winter Mae: These two are so evenly matched! It seems as though each of them has an answer for what the other has in their arsenal!

Matthews has the hold locked in tight, nearly crushing Cassidy’s head between her thighs! Cassidy tries reaching for the ropes, but Matthews catches her, wrenching back the arm she’s using to reach for the ropes in addition to the Headscissor! Cassidy now has nowhere to go and nothing to reach out with, she’s seemingly out of options! But just then, she start to shift her weight in the direction her arm is being wrenched, slowly getting Matthews’ shoulders to the mat!

ONE…!

TW-

Matthews gets her shoulder up, leaving an opening for Cassidy to escape the hold in the process! Matthews gets to her feet just Cassidy stumbles to hers, before the former rushes the latter! But Cassidy sidesteps her, pushing her towards the ropes before catching her off guard with a Leapfrog as she returns! Matthews hits the ropes again, this time with Cassidy getting in a Drop Down! However, Matthews catches on to Cassidy’s methods, coming to a standstill in front of a still prone Cassidy, jumping up and hitting a Standing Moonsault across her back! She rolls Cassidy on her back and goes for a pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Cassidy! Matthews doesn’t hesitate, however, popping right back to her feet and delivering a Standing Shooting Star Press! She goes for a second pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Another kick out by Cassidy! Matthews won’t be deterred however, willing to take whatever risks are necessary to put away Cassidy here! She climbs to the top rope, before launching off with a 450 Splash! But Cassidy rolls out of the way, avoiding the huge splash! Matthews lands on her feet, hardly having a chance to react to the missed move before Cassidy takes her down from behind with a Chop Block! She flips over Mathews catching her with a Jackknife Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Matthews escapes, wrapping her arms around the waists of Cassidy before lifting herself up! She twists Cassidy around as she lifts off the mat, getting herself to a vertical base and getting her in position for a Northern Lights Suplex! She goes to lift, but Cassidy gives her all her weight, hindering the move! She sends a few knees to the midsection of Matthews before getting her in position for a DDT! But Matthews escapes this now, pushing forward and sending both of them tumbling out of the ring through the middle rope! Both competitors are down at ringside as the referee starts his ten count!

Tommy Green: The optics aren’t looking good here! I doubt that either of these women are willing to let this end by a double countout!

Winter Mae: Well if they don’t, they’re gonna have to hurry up and back in that ring! The only thing they’re competing against right now is time!

Cassidy is first to get some movement going, getting up to find Matthews starting to stand as well! She throws Matthews into the announce table, before getting her up and throwing her into the ring post! She finishes her attack, throwing Matthews back into the ring under the bottom rope! She steps up onto the apron, as Matthews begins to get up, and is caught completely off guard when she Shoulder Blocks her through the ropes! Matthews sends Cassidy falling to the floor at ringside with a Dropkick, before waiting in the center of the ring for her to get up! Cassidy gets to her feet, only to be brought right back down with a Suicide Dive! Cassidy is now down at ringside, with Matthews leaning against the announce table! A few devious ideas start to cross the challenger’s mind as Matthews begins to tear the announce table to shreds, leaving a wasteland of water bottles and paper notes in her wake! She goes over to the Spanish announce table and does the same!

Tommy Green: What’s Marilyn Matthews thinking here?

Winter Mae: I don’t know, Tommy! But we might wanna get out of the way!

Matthews props Cassidy up onto the English Announce Table, before climbing onto the Spanish Announce Table! She starts from the edge and gets a running start towards Cassidy before jumping up and going for a Shooting Star Press! But Cassidy rolls out of the way, sending Matthews crashing through the desk! Both competitors are down now, as the referee’s count reaches 7!

They both get into a very low crawl early on, but neither of them are even close to the ring before the official raises his hand for a count of 9! Eventually, a huge burst of energy between the two causes them to throw themselves under the bottom rope right as the referee begins throwing his hands up for 10! They’re still in this match! They both begin to get to their feet now, each on opposite sides of the ring! They stare down one other whilst leaning on the ropes, the animosity between the two seeming to come to a boil here! They charge at each other with Matthews going for a Lariat! The defense-oriented Cassidy avoids it however, ducking underneath and hitting the ropes! Matthews attempts to catch her as she returns with a Back Elbow, but Cassidy has that scouted as well, ducking underneath it and hitting the ropes once more! Cassidy comes back, but this time, when Matthews goes for a Lariat, Cassidy catches the arm, grapevining herself onto her for the RB Special! But Matthews reverses, hooking an arm around Cassidy’s head before she can hit the Crucifix Bomb and nailing her with an Air Raid Crash instead! She immediately gets to her feet, climbing to the top rope and finally nailing Cassidy with a 450 Splash! She goes for the pin, hooking the leg!

ONE…!

TWO…!

TH-

Kick out by Cassidy! But the seasoned veteran in Matthews saw this coming, keeping hold of the hooked leg she had of Cassidy’s as she kicked out and using it to turn her over into an Ankle Lock!

Tommy Green: Ankle Lock! What a smooth transition by Marilyn Matthews!

Winter Mae: If there’s no other metric that Matthews has Cassidy beat in, it’s definitely in ring psychology and experience! Matthew’s hasn’t earned her reputation as one of the greats in this business for nothing!

Matthews has the hold in tight, relentlessly twisting the ankle of Cassidy as she screams out in pain! Cassidy uses her arms to try and make her way to the ropes, each small movement exacerbating the pain in her ankle and making the temptation of giving up manifest that much more! She’s just fingertips away from the bottom rope, but Matthews has it scouted, dropping down and applying the Legscissors to keep Cassidy in place! Now with the ropes out of reach and no other method of escaping, Cassidy comes closer and closer to tapping out! This isn’t helped along by Matthews in the slightest, who just barely breaks the Legscissor a few times in order to send a boot into the back of Cassidy!

It seems as though the writing may be on the wall for Cassidy! But just then, she comes up with another route of escape! She shifts her weight over to the side, until eventually getting all the way onto her back! She capitalizes on this change in position, nailing Matthews with a boot to the face, followed with a second and then a third to keep her at bay! She quickly escapes the Ankle Lock, twisting up Matthews’ legs and going for a Figure Four Leglock! Matthews is now the one in trouble, with Cassidy putting the full force of her legs into the submission! She tries desperately to reach for any ropes that are nearby, but just then, Cassidy turns her own strategy against her! She arches her back before raising herself up on the mat, transitioning smoothly into a Figure Eight!

Tommy Green: Figure Eight by Ashlynn Cassidy! Marilyn Matthews may have to quit right here!

Winter Mae: It’d be one major sight to see if Ashlynn Cassidy put away a legend like Marilyn Matthews here tonight! It’d be another thing entirely if she were able to do so by making her tap out!

Matthews seems to be in deep trouble by this point, thrashing around on the mat as Cassidy continues to add more and more pressure to her legs! Matthews raises up a hand, potentially about to tap out here! But she doesn’t, instead raising her fist as high as she can before plunging it right into the side of Cassidy’s supporting ankle, which just so happens to be the one she put into an Ankle Lock! Cassidy shrieks out in pain, with the entire hold collapsing and Matthews being set free! She slowly staggers to her feet, with Cassidy not far behind! She takes advantage of the high ground she now has, kicking Cassidy in the gut, before hitting the ropes and dropping her with THE RUNNING CURB STOMP!! Matthews with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Cassidy! Matthews sits up beside her fallen opponent, unable to do anything but let out a light snicker! She gets to her feet, waiting for Cassidy to try and get up again, before going for a CURB STOMP!! Cassidy doesn’t stay down long, however, beginning to crawl her way up, only half-conscious and telling Matthews to “bring it”! Matthews happily obliges, going for a third Curb Stomp! But Cassidy counters, lifting her head up just in time to launch Matthews into the air and catch her with a Sit-Out Powerbomb!!

Tommy Green: What a reversal by Ashlynn Cassidy!!

Winter Mae: Marilyn Matthews may be a veteran of the game, but Ashlynn Cassidy is a top student of it! Very rarely will you see her make the same mistake twice!

Matthews stumbles to her feet as Cassidy gets hers, going for an unsuccessful Lariat on Cassidy that leads her right into an UNDER/OVER FROM CASSIDY!! THE FRONTFLIP CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS!! Cassidy with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Matthews! Cassidy seems exhausted, but she pushes forward, ready to put an end to this! She gets Matthews up in a Ripcord position, looking for the Period, Peace! She pushes Matthews out and pulls her back in, but Matthews catches her with a GOT ‘EM!! JUMPING CUTTER GETS HER!! Matthews isn’t finished however! She climbs to the top rope, before jumping off for the Sonic Screwdriver! But Cassidy rolls out of the way. Before quickly grapevining Matthews’ arms for a Crucifix Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Matthews leans forward, getting her shoulders off the mat and trapping Cassidy with a Lateral Press!

ONE…!

Alex Lawson: And finally...from Okinawa, Japan...weighing in at 103 lbs...The Captain of Team Mayhem...Nami! Megumi!

Tommy Green: We’ve finally made it to our main event! Team Mayhem showing a lot of promise! Let’s see which brand walks away with bragging rights here tonight!

Alivia Takasoto: Red shirt, blue shirt! Blah blah blah! This is fucking WAR GAMES! I wanna see some CARNAGE!!

Alex Lawson: Up next...from Boston, Massachusetts...weighing in at 130 lbs...Helena! Handbasket!



Alex Lawson: Up next...from Chicago, Illinois...weighing in at 135 lbs...Mai! Blackman!



Alex Lawson: And finally...the Captain of Team Fusion...from Fairbanks, Alaska...weighing in at 137 lbs…”The Mighty”! THORA!

Alivia Takasoto: This right here is gonna be the edge that Team Fusion has on Team Mayhem! Every single competitor on each side is a hell of an athlete, but The Mighty THORA is a standout amongst all of them!

Tommy Green: THORA certainly does have all the tools to cause trouble for Team Mayhem, but I doubt she’s ever been inside a structure like War Games! We’ll see what these eight can do inside this chamber of destruction!

The two teams meet on each side of the stage, looking to come to an agreement on who’s going into the cage first.

Tommy Green: Both these teams carefully selecting who goes in first!

Alivia Takasoto: Team Mayhem has to be especially careful when choosing their pick! With Fusion having the advantage, whoever comes in first for Team Mayhem is gonna have to take two people on at once eventually!

THORA attempts to huddle up with the rest of the team! But while Handbasket and Lopez join in, Mai Blackman shrugs them all off, cockily walking down the ramp as THORA looks on at her narrow-eyed! Blackman steps into the ring as the rest of Team Fusion enter their shark cage!

Tommy Green: A little dissension in the ranks of Team Fusion already!

Alivia Takasoto: We all know that Mai Blackman has had a bit of a problem with one of Fusion’s latest arrivals ever since she signed on the dotted line! Let’s see if they can get it together just for tonight!

Meanwhile, Team Mayhem huddles up, but the actions of Blackman catches Faye Brown’s eye. She slowly walks away from the team huddle, standing on the top of the ramp with her eyes fixed on Blackman, almost in a trance! The rest of Team Mayhem see this, opting to step aside and settle into the shark cage as Brown makes it to the ring! She doesn’t go in unarmed however, grabbing a Kendo Stick from under the ring before stepping into the War Games cage and shutting the door behind her!



Brown wastes absolutely zero time, running up and unloading on her with a series of heavy strikes from the Kendo Stick! She eventually hits the ground, but the strikes don’t stop, with Brown continuing to slap on strike after strike over Blackman’s back to keep her down! Blackman begins to crawl away, going under the bottom rope and slipping into the other ring! Brown follows in hot pursuit, stepping between the ropes to exit one ring and enter the other! The attempted chase buys Blackman some time to retaliate, sending a boot into the shin of Brown as she approaches, causing her to drop to a knee! Blackman gets back to her feet, but Brown isn’t letting her get the high ground! She throws a swing at Blackman, but she catches it! She sends a knee right under her elbow of Brown, bending it awkwardly! She takes Brown by the head, driving her knees into her face one at a time repeatedly! The repeated strikes send Brown to the mat, to which Blackman capitalizes by mounting her with a bevy of strikes! The crowd swarms her boos over the overwhelming brutality! She gets back to her feet, grabbing the kendo stick Brown had just battered her with, before snickering, snapping it in half, and throwing it out!

Blackman postures to the crowd all while Brown attempts to get to her feet! She gets to a seated position, before Blackman snatches her into a Kata Hajime! Brown is locked in tight, before Blackman snatches her to her feet and hits her with a Kata Hajime Suplex! Blackman gets Brown back to her feet, but just as she gets to a vertical base she pushes her away! Blackman charges back at Brown, but she ducks underneath an oncoming Lariat, before catching her on the side of the head with a Step-Up Enziguri to the back of her head! Blackman staggers, as Brown gets to her feet, snatches her from behind, throws her into the side of the cage! She takes her to the other side of the ring, smashing her into another wall of the huge structure! She keeps a hold on Blackman, going to throw her into a third wall! But she reverses, shifting the momentum and throwing Brown into the wall of the cage herself! She capitalizes, throwing Brown to the mat with a Shoot Throw! She starts to wail on Brown with a set of heavy, grounded strikes, before getting her up and throwing her towards the ropes! She waits for Brown to return so she can strike, but this proves to be a mistake! Brown goes low, rolling up Blackman before releasing her to roll to her knees! She gets on the offensive now, laying a Kick around the back of Blackmans head! The two women slump onto the mat as the countdown timer begins to display itself!

A light shines over Team Fusion’s cage on stage! The referee unlocks the door, and Lily Lopez bursts out of the cage running down the ramp and to the War Games cage! Lily enters the cage, almost begging Blackman to get in on this! Blackman, realizing that with the 2-on-1 scenario they have on their hands, Lopez can’t possibly do any more harm than good and steps aside! Lopez waits for Brown to reach her feet, going for a Hurricanrana that sends her to the mat! Brown gets to her feet, with Lopez taking her to the mat again with a Dropkick! Blackman decides to step in by this point, explaining to Lopez that she’s doing it “all wrong”! She grabs the prone Brown, cinching in an Armbar! Brown grunts in pain as Blackman instructs Lopez on how to get the most out of the move, before lifting up Brown’s arm to her for her to try!

Lopez grabs the arm of Brown, trying her best to replicate the move Blackman just showed her, however it falls short, with the hold not being applied with nearly as much force as her partner! This leaves an opening for Brown to escape, leaning over onto Lopez and hitting her with a Forearm to keep her away, before taking Blackman to the mat with a Double Leg Takedown! She lays into Blackman with a set of vicious Forearms! She only finally gets pulled away by Lopez, who gets hit with a Headbutt for her trouble! She hooks her head, driving it to the mat with a Bulldog! She goes for a Step Up Enziguri to Blackman as she begins to stand, only to get in Wheelbarrow position! Blackman throws Brown to the wall of the cage with a German Suplex, but Brown immediately mounts a comeback, driving herself into Blackman with a Spear! The countdown timer starts to tick down! The salvation of another Team Mayhem member finally coming, giving her comfort!

The over light shines over Team Mayhem’s Shark Cage, and the referee opens it up to set free Nami Megumi! She runs like the wind over to the cage, slamming the door right into the face of a recovering Lopez who’s blocking the way! She meets with Brown, helping her to her feet before catching Lopez with a Roundhouse Kick as she once again tries to recover! This reunion of the two Team Mayhem members is quickly broken up however, with Mai Blackman re-entering the fray by grabbing Megumi from behind with a Waistlock! She tries to take her to the mat off of this, but Megumi wards her off with an Arm Drag! Blackman gets to her feet, right into a Bicycle Kick by Megumi that sends her to a knee! Brown capitalizes off of her partner’s move, hitting the ropes before going for a Shining Wizard to Blackman from behind! But Blackman dodges, leaving Brown to hit the mat in front of her and going for a Sleeper Hold! Megumi sees this and immediately goes on the offensive, getting Blackman into a Sleeper Hold of her own!

Soon enough ¾ of the people currently occupying the cage are either applying or being put in a Sleeper, with Blackman doing both! Megumi wrenches back, even bringing Blackman to her feet with Brown in tow! But the former Marine won’t relieve her grip on Brown, even tightening it every time she feels Megumi do the same to her! Eventually, Lily Lopez cuts in just as Blackman is beginning to fade, hitting Megumi with a Dropkick that takes her to the mat and freeing Blackman from the Sleeper Hold! But before she can get too comfortable, Brown grabs her head from behind, dropping her with an Inverted Jawbreaker!

Lopez and Brown come face to face in the center of the ring! Brown, knowing Lopez’s rap sheet, doesn’t seem all too intimidated by the person currently standing in front of her! Even still she doesn’t take her opposition lightly, going for a Lariat to take her down right off the bat! Lopez ducks underneath, doing a Handspring across the ropes before hitting Brown with a Back Elbow! She pops to her feet almost in shock at what was able to do, before jumping up onto the ropes and hitting Brown with a Springboard Moonsault!

Lopez gets Brown to her feet, before throwing her into the ropes and waiting for her to return! Brown catches her off guard however, with Roll Up! She immediately releases it, going for a Kick to the side of Lopez’s head! Lopez goes down, but Brown is hardly able to stand back up before being drilled with Knee to the head by Mai Blackman! Brown and Lopez are both down now, before Blackman comes face-to-face, uninhibited, with Nami Megumi! The two start to draw themselves closer to one another! But before they can act, the countdown timer begins to display itself again!

A light shines over the Team Fusion cage and the referee unlocks it! THORA, wanting to be present as the Captain of her team in the cage like Megumi, wants to step up! However, Helena Handbasket cuts her off, wanting to jump in herself! With a bit of hesitation, THORA lets her at it, and Handbasket rushes towards the ring! She immediately goes under the ring, filling up the cage with three chairs and a table before entering!

Handbasket enters right in the middle of a brawl between Nami Megumi and Mai Blackman! Megumi goes for a Bicycle Kick, but Blackman catches it! She throws Megumi to the mat with a Dragon Screw, before mounting her and going for a set of super heavy strikes! She goes for a Palm Strike, but Megumi catches it grabbing the arm and bringing her in for a Crossface! She has the move locked in tight, but she’s no match for the numbers game as Helena Handbasket comes in to break it up! She gets Megumi to her feet, taking her down with a Codebreaker! Just then, Faye Brown gets to her feet, leaving her and Handbasket as the only ones standing in the ring!

The two friends shrug before approaching one another and striking in unison! Brown gets the upper hand on Handbasket, getting in a Step-Up Enziguri on her, before hitting a Pele Kick as she staggers! Handbasket stumbles into the corner, leaving an opening for Brown to catch her with a Knee to the jaw, before going for a Bulldog out of the corner! But Handbasket counters, pushing Brown into the opposite corner before she can drive her down! Brown hits the turnbuckles chest-first, right before getting caught with a Stiff Big Boot in the corner by Mai Blackman! Nami Megumi cuts in now, grabbing Blackman out of the corner and dropping her with a German Suplex! Before Megumi can get to her feet, Lopez cuts in with a Standing Moonsault!

Lopez gets Blackman to her feet, before all three current members of Team Fusion approach the wall of the cage facing up the ramp! They look like a rabid pack of wolves as they see the countdown timer ticks down! Their eyes go directly to Tanja Devereaux alone in her cage as the crowd chants!

The light shines over the Team Mayhem cage, and out finally is Tanja Devereaux! She heads over to the cage, smashing the door right into Mai Blackman’s face as she enters! She walks into the cage, immediately getting a Roundhouse Kick in on Lily Lopez! She gets stopped in her tracks by Helena Handbasket, who delivers a Chop Block before going for a Standing Moonsault! She gets up, right into a Shotgun Dropkick by Nami Megumi! The shot sends her into the corner, and Megumi immediately capitalizes by running across the ring and nailing her with a Discus Elbow! She gets pulled off of Handbasket however, getting snatched into a Kata Hajime by Mai Blackman, before being thrown across the ring with a Suplex! She turns around right into a Spear by Faye Brown! She mounts her and tags her with a bevy of punches! She gets Blackman to her feet before attempting to Whip her into the ropes! But Blackman reverses, Whipping Brown into the ropes herself!

She gets to her feet, hitting the ropes before landing a Standing Swanton to Brown! Lope gets up, right into a knee to the gut by Tanja Devereaux! She gets her in position, before dropping her with a Swinging Neckbreaker!

Helena Handbasket tries to intervene, going for a Superkick to Devereaux! But she dodges it, leaving Handbasket to get put right in position for a Ripcord Knee Strike from Nami Megumi! Just then Mai Blackman gets a Waistlock applied on Megumi, pushing her towards the ropes before getting pushed back and to the mat by Mayhem’s Team Captain! She rolls back to her feet right into a Forearm Smash from Faye Brown! She gets Blackman in a Ripcord position just as Lopez and Handbasket begin to get up! In complete unison, Devereaux connects with Roundhouse Kick to Lopez, Megumi nails a Bicycle Kick on Handbasket, and Brown drives Blackman to the mat with a Ripcord Forearm Strike! The countdown timer ticks down and the three of them give the same treatment to THORA as the rest of Team Fusion gave to Devereaux earlier, leaning against the cage like a pack of rabid dogs!

The light over Team Fusion’s cage shines for the final time, with THORA rushing out and emptying the cage! She immediately yanks open the door and stares down the three on one situation she just walked into! She’s a bit tentative, but her prideful attitude won’t let it show, entering the cage and immediately being charged at by Tanja Devereaux! THORA reverses however, dropping her with a Slingblade before getting to her feet and nailing a charging Nami Megumi with a Spear! Faye Brown steps up now, getting her into a Headlock before trying to take her down with a Bulldog! But much like earlier, THORA manages to push her away, sending her into the corner! Brown returns, only to get hit by an Enziguiri by THORA! Just then Helena Handbasket makes it up to her feet, unfolding two of the steel chairs and putting them right next to each other! THORA takes advantage of this, getting Brown to her feet and throwing her down with a Butterfly Suplex into the chairs!

Nami Megumi intervenes! She hops from the top rope of one ring to the other’s, before bouncing off with a Springboard Hurricanrana to THORA into the chairs!! Megumi gets right back up, yelling to get the crowd hyped, before getting leveled with a Missile Dropkick by Lily Lopez from the top rope! Lopez gets up and immediately spots Tanja Devereaux rushing towards her! She ducks underneath her attack, leaving her to be put right in position for an Exploder Suplex into the chairs by Helena Handbasket! Faye Brown tries to intervene, only to get caught with a Superkick by Handbasket, right into a CHICAGO KISS BY MAI BLACKMAN!! HEADBUTT CONNECTS!! Brown slumps to the mat, before THORA gets her to her feet and throws her to the mat with SHOCK THERAPY!! THIS ONE IS OVER!! THORA tries going for the pin, but Mai Blackman swoops in and steals it from her, prompting another narrow-eyed stare by the Queen of Thunder! Blackman awaits the referee’s count of three, but it never comes! Instead the referee informs them that the pin isn’t valid due to there being one last competitor in the match! Just then, the countdown timer displays itself one last time.

The arena goes dark, before a cacophony of voices yell out "RELEASE THE KRIGARE" before a single growling voice begins to sing.

“I'm a popular, popular fucking monster… YEAHHHHH
Here we go again, motherfucker, oh”

As the lyrics start, the entranceway lights up with stroke lights and a single figure walks out, a hoodie concealing anything discerning.

“We're sick and tired of wondering
Praying to a god that you don't believe
We're searching for the truth in the lost and found
So the question I ask is
Oh, where the fuck is your god NOW?”

At “NOW”, the lights come up, the hooded figure lifts a barbed-wire crowbar in the air, and pulls the hood off to reveal the mystery opponent to be Eavan “Krigare” Maloney.

Tommy Green: OH MY GOD!! SHE’S HERE!!

Alivia Takasoto: I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I’M SEEING HERE!!

The pop from the crowd is surprisingly positive as Eavan walks down the ramp.

“'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer
I'm a popular, popular monster
I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
I'm not a popular, popular monster
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer
I'm a popular, popular monster”



Maloney enters the cage and begins to go on a tear, catching Helena Handbasket and Lily Lopez with back to back Defang The Dragons! She dodges a few wild punches thrown by Mai Blackman before turning her around and throwing her into the cage wall with Release German Suplex! She finally gets face-to-face with THORA! The two polar opposite yet equally confident personalities begin to clash right in the middle of the ring with Maloney beginning to talk trash straight to the Asgardian’s face! The two eventually come to blows throwing strikes in unison! THORA eventually gains the upper hand, throwing a knee in the gut of Maloney before running the ropes! Maloney goes after her however, hitting the ropes right after her and catching her off guard with a Double Handed Bulldog! Helena Handbasket now steps up to try and stop Maloney’s hot streak, jumping off the second rope with a Double Ax Handle! Maloney has it this scouted however, striking Handbasket in the midsection before driving into the still standing double chair structure with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex!

Mai Blackman is finally the one to put out Maloney’s flame, throwing a knee her way before bashing her into the cage! Faye Brown intercepts, planting various kicks to the side of the Blackman’s midsection! THORA comes in now, clubbing Brown with a Rolling Elbow! Up next comes Tanja Devereaux, who comes in to immediately be hit with a Rolling Elbow of her own by THORA!! Nami Megumi comes in now, landing a Discus Forearm to THORA, before sending a flurry of Forearms her way! The seven competitors begin to swarm closer and closer together and the brawling continues, with Lily Lopez slowly sneaking her way up the cage wall!

Tommy Green: Wait a minute...what’s Lily Lopez doing here?

Alivia Takasoto: I don’t know, Tommy, but she better get down before she hurts herself!

Lopez gets to the top of the cage, looking down with a slight tentativeness, before diving OFF THE CAGE, going for a Crossbody onto all the other competitors!!

Tommy Green: WHOA!!!

Alivia Takasoto: Lily Lopez taking a huge risk with a huge reward! I didn’t think she had it in her!

All eight competitors are laid out on the mat with each of them scattered between the two rings! Each competitor slowly rises to their feet, with those on Team Mayhem being in the ring opposite to those in Team Fusion! They slowly make their way over to the center, standing on the diamond steel plate that connects the two rings together! All eight competitors come face to face. Helena Handbasket with Tanja Devereaux, Mai Blackman with Faye Brown, Lily Lopez with Eavan Maloney, and THORA with Nami Megumi! The stand off doesn’t last for too long, with Blackman making the first strike to Brown and sparking a war of strikes on both sides! Eventually these brawls break off separately amongst the two rings!

Faye Brown and Mai Blackman get into it! Blackman slips behind Brown, taking her down with Shoot Throw before wailing on with a set of vicious MMA style Elbows to the side of her head! She sends a few Muay Thai Knees to the side of her midsection, before jumping up and stomping the back of Brown’s head! She gets Brown up to her feet, tucking her head under her arm in preparation for a Cradle DDT! But before she can lift her, Brown reverses, ramming herself and Blackman into the side of the cage wall! She lifts up her knee, driving it into Blackman’s chest repeatedly against the cage before finally nailing her to the mat with a Bulldog!

Meanwhile, Eavan Maloney and Lily Lopez go at it! Lopez goes after Maloney flying towards her with a Crossbody! Maloney catches it, throwing her down to the mat with a Body Slam! Lopez sits up, just in time to be caught with a Basement Dropkick! She gets her to her feet, but Lopez pushes her away, drilling her in the head with a Superkick!

Meanwhile, Tanja Devereaux and Helena Handbasket brawl in the other ring! Devereaux goes for a Spinning Heel Kick to Handbasket! But she ducks underneath, getting a Sleeper Hold in on Devereaux when she turns around! Devereaux seems to be in trouble now, getting to the corner as quickly as she can before rolling over on top of Handbasket for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Handbasket, relieving the hold! Devereaux rolls to her feet, with Handbasket not being able to get up soon enough to avoid being thrown to the mat with a Fisherman’s Suplex!

Finally, we look over to see Nami Megumi and THORA going at it! THORA catches a Bicycle Kick from Megumi, but before she can capitalize, Megumi catches her off guard with an Enzigiri! THORA staggers back, before charging right back over to Megumi! She sidesteps her, throwing her into the ropes instead! Megumi catches her off guard with Drop Down, then gets her with a Leapfrog when she returns again! This time however, THORA turns the tables, jumping to the ropes and going for a Springboard Arm Drag on Megumi! The Tsu-Nami almost immediately gets to her feet as THORA sits up, looking for a Kick across the Queen of Thunder’s face! But she ducks underneath, before getting a Kip Up and wrenching the arm of Megumi! She starts with the Joint Manipulation, twisting Megumi’s fingers! Megumi is having none of this however, pushing THORA out and pulling her back in for a Ripcord Knee Strike! But THORA reverses, pushing Megumi away and hitting her with POINT BREAK!! SUPERKICK CONNECTS!!

Helena Handbasket is back up now, table in hand! She sets up on the diamond steel plate connecting the rings, before turning around to a kick to the gut by Tanja Devereaux! She pulls Handbasket over to the corner of one of the rings, getting to the second rope and positioning Handbasket for a Tornado DDT! But just when she jumps off, Handbasket slips her grip, causing her to crash into the table on her own!

Handbasket re-enters the ring, right into a NOLA MAKEOVER from Eavan Maloney! She gets to her feet, immediately being caught by Lily Lopez with a Superkick that sends her to the mat! She climbs to the top rope, possibly looking for the Lily Pad Splash! But Faye Brown comes in and battens her down with a set of strikes on the top rope! She gets her in position for Superplex, but is caught off guard when she spots Mai Blackman slipping between her legs and positioning her for a Powerbomb! THORA quickly joins in getting Helena Handbasket to her feet and bringing her over the corner to help Blackman in her efforts. Eventually, everyone involved collapses, hitting the mat in a TOWER OF DOOM!! Brown and Lopez take the blunt of the impact, with Lopez rolling over to the other side of the ring clutching her midsection! Meanwhile, Blackman immediately capitalizes, crawling onto Brown for a cover!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Brown! But Blackman isn’t done with her yet, grabbing the arm and putting it into a MODIFIED SITTING FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! THE SAME MOVE THAT TOOK OUT LAYLA AISHE!! Shr wrenches the hold back HARD! Much harder than we’ve likely ever seen from her before! Sensing that this isn’t quite right, THORA intervenes, initially telling Blackman verbally to ease up on her opponent! Blackman fails to listen however, causing THORA to rip her off of Brown to keep her from breaking her arm! The two get into a very heated argument over this, with Blackman eventually backing away gracefully from it! THORA tries to step away too, but before she can, Blackman pulls her back in and nails her with THE SYSTEM!! The Team Fusion Captain slumps to the mat completely out cold!

TG1Tommy Green: What the hell did Mai Blackman do that for?!TG2

Alivia Takasoto: She was tired of being disrespected I guess!?

Before Helena Handbasket, the only other remaining standing member of Team Fusion, can process what just happened, she gets nailed with the NOLA MAKEOVER from Eavan Maloney! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Handbasket! Meanwhile, Blackman walks off to the other ring, getting caught with a kick to the shin by Nami Megumi, before she hits the ropes and goes for the Tsunami! Blackman ducks underneath however, getting Megumi wrapped up in Blackman’s Bounty! Megumi holds on for dear life, not letting Blackman get the best of her! Meanwhile, Maloney gets to the top rope, launching off and looking for The Last Word! But Handbasket rolls out of the way, leaving Maloney to land backfirst on the mat! Handbasket gets to her feet, gearing up to hit the Screw U on Maloney when she gets up. Meanwhile Blackman's finishing submission is wrenched on even tighter, with Megumi barely able to hold on much longer! Faye Brown gets to a kneeling position and spots this, before looking up at Handbasket prepping for her move! She takes a shot in the dark, hoping what she’s about to do isn’t completely undone by what’s going on in the other ring! She runs up to Handbasket nailing her with BATTERY!! JUMPING LEG LARIAT CONNECTS!! Brown with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!

WINNERS: TEAM MAYHEM

But just then...

CRACK!!

A chair lands across the back of Tanja Devereaux before she hits the mat! Megumi and Brown look over, expecting to see a sore loser from Team Fusion welding the chair, but they come to an immediate shock when they see that it’s actually Eavan Maloney!

Tommy Green: What the hell is Eavan Maloney doing?!

Alivia Takasoto: I have no idea!

Brown and Megumi take immediate exception to this, approaching Maloney, only for each of them to be nailed with Defang The Dragon! She returns to Devereaux and the chair, hitting Devereaux with a few more shots with the chair, each one more aggressive than the last! She drops the chair, looming over Devereaux as we fade to black!
