Sean Brady: I’m excited, Winter! I’m on cloud 9! You could even say that I’m…going mad!

#LuckyYou
Earlier in the Week
“Spoiled” Summer Page is laying poolside in a purple bikini on a daybed at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida.
“Spoiled” Summer Page:We are on everybody's mind as they wonder what the Privileged Elite is going to do next. It isn’t what NFW or Zion Wrestling is going to do next because as we all know each company is lucky enough to be where they get to see us.Honestly I don’t know what the NFW’s deal is but I know women like Hayley Halsey, Casey Holliday, and my sisters will easily handle what is going on in Chicago. We have easily infiltrated the Mayhem roster and made it our show. With my bestie, your reigning Zion Champion, Angel Kash, we have this company on the verge of bending their knee and bowing down to us.
Summer takes her sunglasses off her face and hangs them off of her bikini top.
“Spoiled” Summer Page:In just a few days at Mayhem I am stepping into the ring with the self described “Cosmic Swan”...
Summer rolls her eyes.
“Spoiled” Summer Page:It appears as though this swan is making enemies at every turn. Not only did she get her ass handed to her by Angel last week but a hooded person has it out for you, Risa. As good as you like to think you are with all that is going on around you that you actually have a chance against me, Risa? Haha! No way, girl! That isn’t happening. Last week I got back to my winning ways after those two cheaters cheated me out of the National Championship and I am a girl who likes to have as much gold as possible. Whether it is jewelry or championship belts. So another win would get me back on track to getting back into title contention. It could be the Gateway Championship, the National Championship, or I might even show up at Fusion and take that Viral championship away from Jordan because quite honestly we know that Jordan can’t handle the pressures of being a traveling champion. I have my own private jet so it would be so easy for me and on top of that would you rather want to see an icky disgusting troll representing you as champion or an elegant star such as myself? The answer is overwhelmingly me because it is just a matter of time before the world accepts the fact that Zion doesn’t need to worry about NFW taking over; they should have been worrying about the Privileged Elite the whole time.
Summer blows the camera a kiss as she takes her sunglasses and puts them back on her face.

The scene comes up backstage and Elijah is seen back there. Elijah is walking down there before stopping. He's wearing some nice black tinted shades, black t-shirt, loose fitting jeans, and black sneakers. He reached into his phone and was looking at the photos of his and Summer time alone (which can't be seen because the camera is not showing.
Elijah Copeland: “I wonder where she is?” as he spoke to himself. “I'm sure she around here somewhere.”
He moves down the hallway and turns his head to the side and sees her.
Elijah Copeland: “I was wondering when I would see you.”
“Spoiled” Summer Page:I have to arrive fashionably late. Plus I like to see you sweat and pine over me.
Summer smiles devilishly andand winks at Elijah. Elijah raises an eyebrow and gives off a slight chuckle. He takes off his shades as he stares into the eyes of Summer.
Elijah Copeland: “I guess that's who you are. You are definitely a sight for sore eyes, doll. Besides, it not like I can't say no to someone as adorable as you, right?”
He moved closer to her as their faces were close together. Elijah is glad that nobody is around to see this as there would be lots and lots of questions.
Elijah Copeland: “You know, there are so many times when we hang out and you know...do stuff. But I never got the chance to kiss you. So, what I'm going to do now is kiss your lips and see what kind of reaction I can get out of you.”
“Spoiled” Summer Page:What kind of reaction are you expecting?
Elijah Copeland: “I don't know, honestly. I guess in a way, I'm going crazy when I'm not with you. I know, it's corny. Sure, I have millions of dollars, a mansion, nice cars, and basically anything I want. But one thing I know is that you don't like me for my money because you have that. But I guess my reaction to kissing you is... is it my charm that brings you to me or if this is just us continuing to be friends with benefits?”
Elijah isn't this open, but it's just them. Elijah and Summer don't know a camera is filming this and that will make people start to question everything.
“Spoiled” Summer Page:Where is that confident guy that you show everybody else?
Elijah Copeland: “I'm very confident, Summer. You want that confident guy for you?”
He smiles as he brings in his lips and connects it with hers. It was something that he never really wanted to do but it was about to happen. They had sex...so this was something that needed to happen. It happens for a good twenty second before he finally breaks the kiss and smiles at her.
Elijah Copeland: “How was that?”
Summer smiles but before she can respond they hear a gasp. Both Summer and Elijah look over and a stunned Jessica Anderson is looking at them.
“Spoiled” Summer Page:Jess?!?!
Jessica Anderson:Um…
“Spoiled” Summer Page:Sorry Elijah but I need to go. I’ll text you later.
Summer walks over to Jessica and wraps her left arm around Jessica’s right arm and they walk away. Elijah looks at Summer and puts his shades back on his face.
Elijah Copeland: “See you later, Summer.”
He walks away while getting a huge smile on his face.

#YouresoLucky
The scene opens with Cassie Lopez and her colossus friend Cleopatra Ivy standing side by side. Cassie is wearing a light-blue crop top and breezy pleated pants while Cleopatra is wearing a blue sports top and burgundy leggings looking down at the camera as it captures them in a low angle, giving them an imposing and sensually domineering presence.
Cassie Lopez: Faye Brown, I’m hearing your threats loud and clear. And, whether you believe it or not, I respect it. But it’s obvious that you’re not taking me seriously. Most people of my stature wouldn’t tolerate such disrespect. But you see, I’m a completely different rich bitch. I thrive on the disrespect. It makes it that much fun for me to beat the respect out of them. Just like what I’m going to you this Saturday at Madness.
I know what I stand to face if you hand me defeat, even though I’ll still be above everyone.
The ladies take their attention off the camera briefly and look at each other. Cassie tosses her hair to the side and smiles while Cleopatra returns a smile. They return their focus down on the camera as Cassie continues.
Cassie Lopez: But will you experience the same when it’s the other way around, you carrot topped freak? Granted, you’ve been on the roster a little bit longer so I completely understand that you would think that I’m miles behind you in that regard. And on top of that, you declare that you’re on this “crusade” to eradicate only THE most important group in Mayhem only because of jealousy, envy, and out and out realizing your inferiority in comparison to us. But are you really prepared to face the consequences? This is a whole lot worse than your miniscule run as Zion Champion after winning it at New Year’s Revolution, only to have my girl Angel (Kash) squash you like a cockroach and take it from you the exact same night. We’re talking about someone who’s still practically new to the Mayhem roster besting you in the ring, which I know I’m capable of. Finding your name on the loser column opposite someone like me in the spot that you’re used to seeing? Having to eat crow, or whatever kind of filth you devour on for sustenance, while accepting your “threats” is nothing more than hot air which is more geared for accentuating the smell of your stank breath. This is not me being overconfident by default, Faye. What I do in the ring makes me that way. The only difference? It adds undisputed weight to the words and makes me stronger in my status.
Cassie takes a moment to look away from the camera to run her fingers through her hair before returning her focus back to the camera. Meanwhile, Cleopatra continues to stare at the camera.
Cassie Lopez: I’m a woman who’s only beginning to catch my stride in reaching the peak of success here in Mayhem, both alone and with my Privileged Elite family. And by beating you at Madness, whether you’re going to come fully prepared or not, I’ll be one step closer to where I need to be; showing you that you are who you are now, and I am what I will be, with every memory of this match you will be forced to remember and the woman who put it in your puny brain…the woman who has been, and will always be, “Top Tier”.
As Cleopatra speaks down at the camera, Cassie looks at her friend, acknowledging the words she’s saying.
Cleopatra Ivy: Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum. You’re yesterday’s news, freak. And Cassie kicking your ass will be so much fun!
Cassie Lopez: You damn right it will be. The joys of being Privileged.
The ladies once again look down at the camera, both giving confident smirks.
Cassie Lopez: You WILL know your place, bitch!
After blowing a kiss, Cassie kicks the camera away, causing it to go to static.

Segment #4: The British Hitman
Backstage of the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, the Owner of Zion Wrestling is making his rounds with a confident stride. A blinking blue light comes from his earpiece and he reaches up to answer it with the press of a button.
Kai Morgan: Yes?
There’s no telling who is on the other line or what is being said. A smile crosses Kai’s face.
Kai Morgan: Good. Keep up the security detail. I doubt the cowards from NFW will show up, but it doesn’t hurt to be careful.
His lips curl up into a smirk. He presses the button again to end the call and turns the corner. Making his way towards his office, he begins to walk straight through a four-way intersection of halls…
That’s when a mysterious figure sneaks up behind him and forces him into a dangerous position.
Kai Morgan: Ghn!
It sounds like Kai is being strangled!?
“Didn’t I warn you?”
That British accent… The camera’s visual pulls back to reveal the Owner of Dixon Corporate Enterprises. Slowly, cautiously, the cameraman moves around to expose Kai’s precarious situation. Nathaniel’s gloved hands are holding a piano wire against his throat!
Nathaniel Dixon: You’ll never see me coming.
Kai Morgan: How the fuck--?!
Nathaniel Dixon: Ah-ah.
The pressure of the piano wire against Kai’s throat increases and draws blood.
Nathaniel Dixon: Don’t struggle. You’ll only make things worse.
Kai immediately stills himself. Nathaniel smiles, though he doesn’t let up for a moment. He leans against Kai and his earth-colored eyes shimmer.
Nathaniel Dixon: I can feel your heart pounding, Mr. Morgan.
That’s your fear.
Did you know piano wires are almost always made from the same materials -- high carbon steel and copper? They’re unbelievably strong and they very rarely break. One wire has more tension than an entire guitar. It is historically known that assassins have utilized them for stealth kills.
A soft chuckle escapes him. He’s so matter-of-fact it’s scary!
Nathaniel Dixon: With enough pressure in a short amount of time, you could run out of oxygen or bleed to death. Whichever comes first. Did you make sure to get fitted for a coffin? You might be in one sooner than you expected.
Kai grits his teeth and furrows his eyebrows, though he tries to manage his breathing. There’s a slight application of pressure and more blood is drawn from his neck.
Nathaniel Dixon: Of course, I prefer a bloody good fight. I want you to suffer for endangering my oldest niece. This method is too easy. Let’s consider this a demonstration of how serious I am. When I make a promise, I am going to keep it.
A knowing smile crosses Nathaniel’s face. In a swift motion, the pressure of the piano wire against Kai’s flesh is alleviated -- only for the Lord of Charisma to blast him right under the chin with “Evolutionary Imperative” (European Uppercut) the second he turns around! The impact resonates and Kai hits the tile floor with a THUD. Nathaniel looks down at him and blows a kiss of mockery. From one of the hallways, a small collection of security rush towards them. Nathaniel moves in the opposite direction through double exit doors and escapes into the parking lot. Most of the security team pursues him while a couple of members stay behind to help their boss.
Match #2: The Shadow Council vs The Second City Riot Squad
James Buchanan: The following tag team contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Introducing first…at a combined weight of 325 lbs…Kade Morrison and Dragon…The Shadow! Council!
And their opponents…representing The Second City Riot Squad…being accompanied to the ring by Leah Aguero…from Chicago, Illinois…at a combined weight of 391 lbs…they are two-thirds of the Zion Wrestling Trios Champions…Jed Coffey…and Layla! Diaz!
Layla Diaz and Kade Morrison start the match for their respective teams! Morrison and Diaz go for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up, with Morrison getting the upper hand from the offset using a Side Headlock! Diaz pushes forward, sending him into the ropes and bouncing him off towards the other side of the ring! Morrison returns, attempting to catch Diaz off guard with a Bicycle Kick! Diaz manages to move out of the way however, jumping up to catch Morrison with a Dropkick! Morrison swipes her out of the way however, leaving her to crash to the mat on her own! Morrison attempts to capitalize, lifting Diaz off the ground for a Deadlift German Suplex! But Diaz counters, getting an arm around Morrison’s head to take him down with a Side Headlock Takeover! Morrison immediately responds, pushing his weight to the side and forcing Diaz’s shoulders to the mat!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Diaz! The two competitors return to their feet in unison, with Diaz being the first on the attack! Morrison sidesteps her, sending her into the ropes and forcing her to pivot and replan! She does a Handspring off the ropes, before turning around to catch Morrison with an Enziguri! Morrison catches her however, getting her in a Wheelbarrow position, before taking her down to the mat with a German Suplex! He goes to his corner, getting the tag on Dragon, before running to the ropes and going for a Springboard Moonsault! But Diaz gets the knees up, driving them into Morrison’s chest! She gets to her feet as Dragon immediately tries to intervene, going for a Superkick! But Diaz moves out of the way, jumping up and hitting Dragon with a Backstabber! She gets Dragon to her feet, before tagging in Jed Coffey and nailing her with the CT-KNEE!! Coffey gets her up now, hitting her with the Jackhammer to finish off with SMASH EM UP!! Coffey with the pin now!
ONE…!
TWO…
Morrison tries to re-enter the ring to break it up, but Leah Aguero grabs him by the leg before he can!
THREE!
James Buchanan: The winner of this match…The Second City! Riot Squad!
WINNERS: SCRS (VIA PINFALL)
Backstage, we see Thalia Starks seated in the corner of a warehouse similar to Raven, as she was brooding over her previous losses and speaks out to the camera.
Thalia Starks: "The past few battles I've had haven't fared well for me... and I just haven't figured out exactly where it's gone wrong. The sisters of fate have been against me since day one, but, in defiance, I swim against the current and keep my head above water. I will bounce back, soon. However..."
"Yooooooooo!"
The echoing sound of an obnoxious dudebro was unmistakable. The scent of Dorito cheese powder and B.O. wafted, as we see the infamous podcaster and armchair booker, DJ from the ATL making his way on the scene.
DJ from the ATL: "Yoooo! NFW sent me to do some heavy work on Zion, and I haven't seen a company more worthy of my verbal destruction! Their champions are an LFL cast-off and a billionaire who bought her way to the belt! What a joke, I need to get in that ring and bring prestige to this business, so losers like her..."
He said, pointing at Thalia, who glared at him and pulled out an object from behind her back, while he finished his statement, as he so rudely interrupted her.
DJ from the ATL: "Can have a champion worth rep... GAHHH!!!"
He shouted, clutching his back and starting to fall to the ground, as we see Thalia getting up after jabbing a voodoo doll in the back, before letting the needle out, as she spoke down to him.
Thalia Starks: "I would instill the fear of God into you, Child... But, I already know what you fear most. A strong, independent black woman. Get out of my arena, before you really get hurt."
Thalia said, walking off screen, as DJ was clutching his back, wincing in pain, as we fade out.
James Buchanan: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…and it is for the Zion Wrestling Gateway! Championship!
Unforgettable (Latin Mix) by French Montana begins to blast across the speakers. As it does Sofia makes her way through the curtains to the loud sounds of boos. She isn't alone as her husband Brayden walks out as well. Brayden is waving a Columbian flag proudly for his wife as she begins to twerk and dance to the music. She stops in the aisle shaking her ass for the camera before she runs her hands through her hair and winks at the camera. She receives cat calls from the crowd but she blows them off walking her way to the ring. She slowly enters the ring cracking a wicked grin as she waits patiently for the match to start. Brayden stands at ringside waiting for an opportunity to get involved to help his wife.
She walked out with a microphone stand before the lights went off and the music went on! The light came back on, and when music reached the I want you part, she pointed at the audience with a bright smile before she walked forward and hit the backflip one round before running to touch. A hand with the audience on the ringside at the entrance and around the ring, before she slides onto the stage, pointing to the sky before slowly pointing down at the audience, turns around with a bright smiling, she sat and waited for her opponent.
James Buchanan: Introducing first…residing in Detroit, Michigan…weighing in at 120 lbs…”La Coneja”...Sofia! Hilton!
And her opponent…from Okinawa, Japan…weighing in at 103 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling GATEWAY! CHAMPION!...NAMI! MEGUMI!
Megumi and Hilton meet in the center of the ring, locking hands as they look to grapple! Their other hands start to draw towards one another, capturing the attention of both Megumi and Hilton! But Hilton uses this momentary distraction to her advantage, sending a stomp to Megumi’s foot! She immediately capitalizes, wringing the arm of Megumi, before taking her down with an Arm Drag! She keeps hold on the arm, making sure to extend it in order to weaken the limb! Megumi starts to fight back however, shifting her weight over in order to use her other arm to swing on Hilton! She catches her in the midsection with a Left Hook, then another, before Hilton ultimately retreats! Megumi hits the ropes, before jumping at Hilton! She bends over to duck underneath! This backfires however, as Megumi is able to leap over her, getting the Sunset Flip Powerbomb! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Hilton! She rolls to her feet, before going for a Kick to a now seated Megumi! She dodges the Kick however, getting an O’Connor Roll on Hilton! Before the referee can even get down to count the pin, Megumi rolls through and takes her to the mat with a German Suplex! She bridges!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Hilton! Megumi tries to transition, looking for a second German Suplex! But Hilton reverses, quickly hooking her leg around Megumi’s to stall the lift, before throwing her oover her shoulder with a Hip Toss! Megumi tries to return to Hilton now, but she catches her off guard with a Kick to the midsection, before getting Megumi in position, before taking her to the mat with a Snap Suplex!

Hilton isn’t finished however, getting to the top rope and diving off for the Red Arrow! But Megumi moves out of the way, leaving Hilton to hit the mat on her own! Megumi starts to recover, using the ropes in the corner to prop herself up! She starts to notice Hilton’s position, climbing to the second rope and taking her to the mat with TATSUMAKI SENPUKYAKU!! PANAMA SUNRISE CONNECTS!! Megumi with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Hilton! Megumi is undeterred however, looking for the finish! She jumps onto Hilton, looking for the Tsunami Escape! But Hilton is quick to rescue herself from Megumi’s grip, throwing her over her head with a Belly-To-Belly! She looks to capitalize now, goingfor her signature Backflip Double Knee Drop, but Megumi moves out of the way! Hilton recoils, favoring her knee as she’s kneeling on the mat! This proves to be a fatal mistake however, as Megumi uses this to her advantage, hitting the ropes and clocking Hilton with the TSUNAMI!! LAST SHOT CONNECTS!! Megumi with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
James Buchanan: The winner of this match…and STILL Zion Wrestling Gateway Champion…NAMI! MEGUMI!

She receives cat calls from the crowd but she blows them off walking her way to the ring. She slowly enters the ring cracking a wicked grin as she waits patiently for the match to start. Brayden stands at ringside waiting for an opportunity to get involved to help his wife.
She walked out with a microphone stand before the lights went off and the music went on! The light came back on, and when music reached the I want you part, she pointed at the audience with a bright smile before she walked forward and hit the backflip one round before running to touch. A hand with the audience on the ringside at the entrance and around the ring, before she slides onto the stage, pointing to the sky before slowly pointing down at the audience, turns around with a bright smiling, she sat and waited for her opponent.
