The opening video for Fusion ends as we cut to a sold out Smoothie King Center! The New Orleans fans are ranting and raving, clearly ready for a show!
Tripp Bennett: We’re coming off an action packed Rumble, and now we’re ready for the most exciting two hours of wrestling on the internet! Welcome everyone…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Tripp Bennett, joined as always by my broadcast colleague, Alivia Takasoto!
Alivia Takasoto: We’re in for a huge night, Tripp! We’ve got a number one contenders match for the World Heavyweight Championship! As well as a YouTube Championship Match!
Maki Megumi: You may have forgotten the pain of the first time we met Lily, but I have defeated you and it will be another time when you will fail before running to me. Do you really think you can win? You know, who are you facing? I was the one who lost in your first match at Zion Wrestling, remember? So I think I'm not the person you really should be challenging. But come on, when you challenge me I'll let you know it's the biggest mistake of your life again. Is there anything worse than losing to me again? Lily, your being in the last 3 in Madness Rumble doesn't make you look good or you look any better, Lily, so don't be misled. that you will get better. Don't be fooled that you will become the winner of this match, nothing will change Lily. I will defeat you as easily as last time. I will beat you without losing a single sweat. You won't even get a chance to hurt me, believe me, I'll make you feel bad like never before. You want to beat me that much? But it would be a little bad, little girl. because you can only keep dreaming endless dreams Because that's the only way you can beat me. I've warned you not to put yourself in this kind of danger because if you get hurt I won't take any responsibility. Lily, you put yourself in this awkward situation. You should have known from the start that you were. In a match where you can't beat me. So if you lose, don't comfort yourself that you've done well and let me see. because you didn't do anything well and you should really know your identity that in the end you can only be a loser.
Maki Megumi: Oh, am I talking too hard, are you crying, Lily? You want your first win? I don't want to tell you that it won't happen. Especially in a match where you'll be facing a devil like me, believe me, I'll make you feel like you're in hell. How long do you think you can run away from me in this match? 1 minute? 2 minutes? Or will it be 3 minutes? Don't think you've gotten better after Madness, believe you'll end up failing in the end. Even if you try to tell yourself how much better? Is it okay for you to listen to the truth I'm saying? It must hurt you so much that you can't argue with anything. Lily, look at yourself in the mirror. and tell me what's better for you So don't cry if you can't beat me. because it is not surprising That's who you are, Lily. You are a fragile loser in both your body and mind. Are you ready for war? I don't know, maybe you're the one who lost Zion. Prove me wrong. Prove that I'm just an idiot. You can't prove it, right? Therefore, a loser like you should already know that you are not even on the same level as me. Since I've destroyed you in this match, I'll make you feel hopeless like never before. Have you ever faced your worst nightmare? I will be your worst nightmare. I won't stop hitting you. If I had a chance to kill you, I would. It's time to actually learn. that you don't even have a chance to win this match. It will end like the first match we faced, it will end with your own pain, Lily, don't challenge a devil like me. Because that means your time to die has arrived.
Maki Megumi: Don't cry for what I said Lily, it's not too cruel for you but it's the truth you will face in this match. I know you're waiting to celebrate your first win after the week but this is bad luck again. The nightmare that when you wake up you will always feel pain. I will beat your weak body and fragile mind and listen to your screams. I want to see despair on your face. I didn't threaten you to know what I could do. I'll make you hurt both mentally and physically. I will destroy this identity of you. I want to see you broken hearted. I know you have anger in your soul. Show it to me Lily, show the world your fucking darkside bitch! Believe me, if you follow my advice, you will be stronger than you are. I am the judge of death for your being. I hope you prepare a grave for yourself, Lily. I advise you all to become stronger than ever. But if you don't listen, you'll be a fool who's weak both mentally and physically. And you will always be just a loser. A loser who will never win forever. Do you really want to be like that? I find it too pathetic, Lily, it's time for you to tell yourself what you want more, success or your non-existent cheers. Do you think that idiot-looking people will continue to support you on the day you fail? Do you think that stupid looking guy will cheer you on when there are people who are better than you and more successful than you? You think you're going to be the next Nami Megumi? You can't, Lily, and you don't even have a chance to reach that level. Don't let that cheers fool you, Lily, let it out... believe me.
Maki Megumi: Hahahahaha you are fucking truly loser. Lily, your are truly fucking loser in both of your soul and your mind. You're not winner you fucking loser bitch! I'm warning you once and it's no more. Come this is match and you will see your fucking useless life. Goodluck kid and the Devil of Chaos see you now.

EARLIER TODAY...
As the scene fades in, it opens with a sequence of the following images shown in slow motion…
A hint of a woman wearing a black dress coming out of a door.
A pair of perfectly sculptured feet, wearing beige Christian Louboutin high heeled sandals, walking across the floor.
A hint of a woman wearing a red dress running her perfectly manicured hand across the railing.
While this sequence is going on, a familiar voice provides the soundtrack to accentuate the mood of the scene.
“You know owning up to things is never easy; much in the case of not fulfilling what you set out to do. Much is the case when you are wrestling. You start having doubts for yourself. You flood yourself with a myriad of questions like….What if you would have done some things differently? What part of your strategy slipped your mind and failed to capitalize? What if you could have held on just a little bit longer.”
Before long, the identities of everything that is involved in this scene are revealed. The location is in the balcony of the upper Pontalba Building located in Jackson Square in New Orleans, Louisiana. And the three women that are standing on the balcony, that to which is camera is focused on, is the members of Trinity; Delilah Hill, who is wearing the black dress, Brooke Cartwright, who is wearing a pink dress to compliment her Louboutin sandals, and Valentina Skye, who’s wearing a red dress. The ladies look elegant, bringing about an aura like celebrated goddesses. However, the ladies are far from being celebratory. It is here that Brooke continues to speak from earlier….
Brooke Cartwright: Madness was supposed to be a big night for us. A moment for us to put start 2022 off on the right foot by taking a significant stride to our intended goal. That to which we desire and vow to achieve.
I was set to shut Zachary Porter down for good and turn his idiotic delusions about my “opening my eyes” into dust; only to have me nearly go insane to see not only that he had me eat a loss but to go onto the Madness Rumble later that night and win it all. Now HE has the opportunity to challenge for the Zion World Championship. HIM!!!
Brooke turns away for a moment, trying to collect herself as Delilah and Valentina console her. She graciously acknowledges their concern and brings her focus back to the camera.
Brooke Cartwright: Then, later that night at that Rumble, the three of us stormed into this match with all intentions for Trinity to secure that win but Porter was the one who got it done. He used US and this match as a stepping stone to get his moment. His moment…
Brooke stops for a moment to collect herself then continues to speak.
Brooke Cartwright: We have every right to be upset about this. We have enough in us to blame Zackie and everyone else to our heart’s content. Slander everyone in not being worthy of something that WE are destined to be. But we are superior women. And to that, we are bigger than that. We are wiser than most when it comes to that ring. And the fact that we have given everything that we had that night, wanting so badly to crush everyone’s dreams that night and celebrate our triumph, like true Queens do, rendered any “excuse” we could come up with irrelevant. Because our incapability to make that night ours showed otherwise.
To quote Molière, “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.” It is that very thing that we remain to have our heels dug into Fusion and not to scurry away like a bunch of underachieving peasants would do. We believe in our worth. We believe in our vision. We believe what is best for both Fusion & Zion Wrestling. And we will continue to use all our power to make sure you all see how real we and our mission is, even if we have to use you all as stepping stones to prove our point….and that includes too, NFW. We find your need to challenge Zion comical at best, much like your primitive attempts to “throw your weight around” at our expense. We could care less about you and your petty desire to declare war on us. But the thing is, Zion is where we reside in our Queendom. And any fool that tries to invade our Queendom will be dealt with. Granted, the majority of the people we align with are lowly insects but together we’re strong enough to crush you all in one stroke. And THAT’S EXACTLY what your fate is. The bottom line is this, the three of us may have been set back, but we are not derailed. 2022 will STILL be our year. And our prophecy of ALL of us tasting championship glory has NEVER been stronger. And we’re going to drive that point home TONIGHT as Valentina and I GRIND The Gemstones into our bitches!
Valentina flips her hair back and begins to speak, with her “sisters” splitting their looks between their “sister” and the camera.
Valentina Skye: It seems like with this whole Zion and NFW stuff that’s been going on for MONTHS, everyone seems to forget that the queens of Zion, Trinity, ARE the real deals here! We ARE the ones that SHOULD be Trios champions and WE are the ones that should be ruling the Trios division, NOT anyone who comes in and is a mystery! However, in the Gemstones case, they should be scared! They should be scared of two angry beautiful bitches that are out looking for blood! And for the rest, they should be scared of these THREE beautiful ladies that plan on ruling the world and after that’s said and done, all three of us plan on going to Total Ambition and showing why WE deserve to rule the world when we defeat those New York Schmucks!
After placing some of her hair behind her ear, Delilah Hill speaks.
Delilah Hill: Yes! That's how things are going to be from here on out. Trinity will be branching out and collecting Championships on a global scale. We have already elevated women's wrestling beyond anyone's wildest dreams just for the mere fact that we are here. Why not let the world know that our talent and flawlessness knows no bounds? There's no other team like us. You will never find another set of unique individuals that will stop at nothing until we put our names on trophies and championships and every accomplishment that this industry has to offer. Let's face it. No one can stop us. A handful of imbeciles have tried, but so far we are still standing and succeeding as a team. People have underestimated us a little too much, and it's about time we put down all of the normies, the one-trick ponies, and the insignificant peasants that dare to cross us!
Brooke and Valentina slightly nod in agreement, making Delilah smile. Before long the ladies return their attention to the camera as Brooke speaks.
Brooke Cartwright: You see, the vision of professional wrestling is bigger than the industry itself. And that vision is the three of us! We’re not going anywhere. When will you peasants get it? And it’s only a matter of time before people like The Gemstones and everyone else will understand and acknowledge their place in the grand scheme of things….
Then the three women give their trademark gesture of pointing their index fingers down and looking on at the camera with sexy dominant smirks.
Brooke, Delilah, & Valentina:...BENEATH US!!!!
The camera pulls back to give a wider view of the ladies standing on the balcony before fading to black.
Match #2: SAVAGE vs Kyle Valentine
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Cameron, North Carolina…weighing in at 238 lbs…Kyle! Valentine!
And his opponent…from Brooklyn, New York…weighing in at 118 lbs…SAVAGE!
Valentine and Savage start things off going for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Valentine initially gains the upper hand, going for a Side Headlock! But Savage reverses, placing a boot right up against Valentine’s calf and pressing down to send him to knee! He releases the hold, allowing Savage to hit the ropes for a Shining Wizard! But Valentine reverses, popping to his feet and leveling Savage with a Lariat! He goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Savage! Valentine gets her up, looking for a Vertical Suplex! But Savage slips out of it, getting behind Valentine and catching him on the side of the head with a Roundhouse Kick!

Valentine stumbles back to his feet, before immediately getting leveled with a Springboard Tornado DDT by Savage! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Valentine! Savage gets to her feet, making her way to the top rope and gearing up for the Savage Assault!

ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Savage! Valentine gets Savage up to her feet, looking for Bad Moon Rising! But Savage reverses, sending Valentine into the corner with Thrust and paint brushing him across the face with KISS THE RING!! BACKHAND SLAP CONNECTS!!

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…SAVAGE!

SAVAGE celebrates as we fade out!
WINNER: SAVAGE (VIA PINFALL)
In the fiery depth of the underworld, many lost souls are seen having every manner of tourture performed to them, by all different sorts of demons and demonic entities. The camera centers on a familiar visage of Leytrix kneeling before the largest of these entities who sat upon a golden throne that’s eternally on fire. The Imp is completely subservient to said demigod and looks to be rather concerned by the need to be back in the Nine Hells.
Leytrix: Yes my lord, I have been rather compliant with your wishes and only took one of the humans' souls thus far.
Dark Lord: Good my pet, I’ve watched from afar and I must say you’ve been a dutiful servant of mine. But the issue I have is that you also have manifested and reconnected with your previous human form to make your stay on the mortal plane easier for yourself. While I applaud the creativity, that goes directly against the direct order I gave! You are to not change ANYTHING while you're away from this place!!
Still not looking at her true master, the Imp answers with a bit of fear in her tone.
Leytrix: I tried to be around the mortals in this form and they only saw me as a joke, jester, or clown. I merely did what I thought was right so I can continue serving as you command while away. If that is in direct disobedience of your wishes I’m more than okay with eliminating Rebekah Stevenson with extreme violence.
There’s an unsettling sigh that comes from the horned demon.
Dark Lord: That’s not at all what I’m saying, my pet. You need only request permission the next time you alter the timelines of the mortal plane if you must do so again. I agree that having a human vessel to change your true form is brilliant and you must continue to use the girl for your bidding as long as you're on the mortal plane.
For the first time Leytrix looks up to her master and tears of black stream down her face.
Leytrix: Thank you for your mercy and understanding. I’m having an enormous challenge fitting in with the flesh bags as a whole.They’re beyond pathetic and if it weren’t for the few I’ve aligned with, I feel I may have lost my way again and started a major conflict within the world.
The Dark Lord rises from his throne and meets Leytrix, picking her up from her kneeling position before wings sprout from his back. The two beings from the Hells begin to fly towards what looks like a portal to a wooded area.
Dark Lord: Your time is done here. Continue bringing the horrible atrocities to the world! But again, if you have to alter things, you MUST contact me first to be certain these ideas of yours fall in line with mine.
Leytrix: Yes my Lord, I’ll be certain to do so if the time arises.
Leytrix does something that is very confusing and hugs into her master before he forces her back to the Human realm.
In the Hotel California Rebekah Stevenson awakes from sleeping screaming at the top of her lungs. A few moments later, the door to her room is flung open wide. A heartbeat or two afterwards and Penelope comes rushing in. Her sock covered feet cause her to slide a little as she struggles to stop having been jolted awake from Rebekah's screams. She kneels over the young girl, grabbing her shoulders.
Penelope: Rebekah! Rebekah! Calm down hun, you're okay! Do you hear me, you're O-K!
She shakes her friend to get Rebekah's attention, as the girl abruptly stops screaming looking thoroughly dazed.
Rebekah: Holy fucking shit!! I just had the most ridiculous dream I’ve ever had in my life, friend… But, I’m not so sure it wasn’t our Imp doing so or something else?
She looks to her friend still frightened from the strange occurrence. Penelope breathes a sigh of relief as she moves from over Rebekah. She shifts the large t-shirt she was wearing to bed and sits further down.
Penelope: It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case. Now that she's been back with you for a while now...it seems she thinks she can just assert her dominance whenever she wants. She played her role in the Madness Rumble to perfection though, did you see the look on his face?
She smiles at Rebekah, the images of Eli Buchanan's face following Leytrix appearing flashing through her mind.
Penelope: The seeds of doubt have been well and truly planted my dear. Soon, he will know the truth from the lies and our true father will return to us.
Rebekah: But it wasn’t like that at all, Pen. She was talking to her master in what I could only call Hell. It was so real and I’m sure it was “real” somehow?
Bekah uses quotation fingers when saying real. Penelope looks at her quizzically, despite the fact she knew in her gut it had all been real.
Rebekah: She was crying tears that look like the black stuff she spews on people. She was very afraid of this horned looking demon that she was subservient to, like she is Lotte. I think she wasn’t supposed to conger me to this world and was very willing to kill me if this entity wanted me to not exist. Do you think she really created me in her previous light for her own means? I don’t remember anything before a few years ago when y’all found me.
Moments later the visage of Leytrix appears in the room with the dried black ichor upon her face. The Imp quickly goes to the wall she scrolls upon and expels some of the substance on her hands. More of the strange writing starts to appear. She ignores both of the women in the room the whole time.
Penelope: Why Hello to you too Leytrix.
Penelope says as she watches the demon go about her business in silence. She turns back to Rebekah, leaning closer so they could keep their voices down.
Penelope: The fact you two share residence in one body...there's a very good case. What you saw was very real. No doubt she gets the same type of visions on her end from situations you're in. But as for her creating you? No...they don't have the power to create, only corrupt and destroy what is already made. You know how bad she is at explaining things...she probably got her words mixed up.
Leytrix sharply turns her head to Penelope and with a toothy grin exclaims.
Leytrix: You're so certain my powers from the underworld couldn’t do such a thing, Penelope?!?
The Imp walks towards both of the human women looking quite devious.
Penelope: You don't have the juice to pull off something like that Leytrix, as "powerful" as you seem to see yourself not withstanding.
Penelope turns back over so she looks back at the demon.
Penelope: Welcome back to the conversation, by the way. Your input is always a breath of fresh air.
Leytrix looks at her one and only soul she really took with a wry smile.
Leytrix: Well I was able to take your soul and have made you into a much better version of yourself!?! If that’s not proof enough that my master and I can do feats that seem otherworldly then what more proof do I need to display?!?
She chuckles in an unsettling tone and goes back to feverishly writing the nonsense no one can read. Penelope smirks as she watches Leytrix writing away.
Penelope: Yes, you forcefully expunged the most useless part of any human for the sheer amusement of it. Made me the woman I am today…"
Leytrix turns back as Penelope blinks, her eyes turning completely black. She blinks again, her eyes returning to normal as she gives Leytrix a wink.
Penelope: But I would expect any demonic entity as old as you to have one or two party tricks up their sleeve. I'm pretty sure creating a being from scratch is a little above your paygrade.
Leytrix lets out a growl before turning back to the wall.
Rebekah: But my only question is, Leytrix, none of that was fake was it? And if your master told you to eliminate me you would without an afterthought wouldn’t you…
With her back still to Bekah and Penelope the Imp turns her head almost 180 degrees and simply nods.
Leytrix: Trust me, It’d be better if I did!?! If the Dark Lord decided you were unneeded you’d be in the Hells of eternal suffering!?!
Rebekah: Wonderful…
Penelope slaps Rebekah on her back, giving her shoulder a squeeze.
Penelope: Oh, don't let her get to you. Besides, it's not the Hell of Eternal Suffering you need to worry about. The Hell of the Upside Down Sinner is waaaay worse.
Rebekah looks over at Penelope in more uneasiness. Penelope lets out a chuckle as she shakes her head.
Penelope: You're way too tense...you need to relax, let your hair down. Listen, I know I said not to go too far with Zoey…"
She glares at Leytrix whose head is still facing them, in the opposite direction of her body. She points a stern finger at the Imp.
Penelope: And that goes double for you!
She looks over at Rebekah again.
Penelope: But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself at her expense out there. What we showed the entirety of Zion in the Madness Rumble was merely a taste. They'll get more than they can handle soon enough. His return is imminent now, and when he does, we can all have a little fun…
She slides off the bed, standing back up as she walks back towards the door.
Penelope: Get some sleep…Fusion will be here before you know it.
Penelope disappears out the door, shutting it behind her. Rebekah looks back over at Leytrix before she lets out a small sigh. She lays back down, pulling the covers up around her and rolling away from Leytrix as she goes back to sleep as the scene fades to black.
Match #3: Mai Blackman vs Zara Ivory
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…for Chicago, Illinois…weighing in at 135 lbs…Mai! Blackman!
And her opponent…being accompanied to the ring by Marley Divata…from Richmond, Virginia…weighing in at 131 lbs…Zara! Ivory!
The bell rings and the two competitors in the ring start things off with a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Blackman gets the upper hand immediately, slipping around Ivory’s waist and clenching in a Waistlock! Ivory tries to escape, but Blackman is able to maintain her control, taking her to the mat with a Shoot Throw! She pounces on the prone Ivory, getting her into Grounded Front Facelock! Ivory tries to shift her weight to the side to escape, but Blackman’s grip on her is too great! She eventually transitions once again, getting Ivory into a Peruvian Necktie as she immediately flails around to try and escape! Marley Divata begins to step in now, grabbing Ivory’s leg and putting it on the bottom rope unbeknownst to the referee!
Blackman spots Divata’s tricks, however, exiting the ring to get in her face about it! Divata begins to back away, feigning ignorance as Blackman begins getting even more heated! This eventually serves to her detriment however, with the distraction, lending Ivory enough time to catch Blackman with a Hurricanrana! She throws Blackman back into the ring now, before taking her to the corner with a Dropkick as soon as she gets up! She runs over to the corner, smashing Blackman right underneath the jaw with a Knee before taking her down with a Monkey Flip! Ivory catches up with her going for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Blackman! Ivory is ready to go for the finish now, waiting for Blackman to reach her feet before going for the TEAM OF MISFITS!! SPEAR CONNECTS!! She takes to the top rope, waiting for Blackman to reach her feet before launching off for Obliteration! The Diving Corkscrew Stunner fails to connect however with Blackman catching her out of mid air with THE SYSTEM!! SPINNING BACK ELBOW PLUCKS IVORY OUT OF THE SKY!! Blackman with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!

Alivia Takasoto: That Back Elbow is hard and dangerous, Tripp! And Zara Ivory just became Exhibit A!
Blackman stands over Ivory as we fade out!
WINNER: MAI BLACKMAN (VIA PINFALL)
We open up backstage and a still out of breath and ecstatic Lily Lopez is jumping up and down wearing the biggest smile we've ever seen her with. There is a small gathering of staff backstage that begin to surround her and clap.
Lily Lopez: I did it! I FINALLY DID IT!
The staff continue to clap for her and a few of them pat her on the back as she was brought to tears.
Lily Lopez: There were so many times where I felt like giving up, but I couldn't. I wouldn't. Because I knew with each passing week, I was getting closer and closer to THIS exact moment. And while it might have been me in the ring, I wasn't alone. I was with each and every supporter who has had my back from day one and from the bottom of my heart I just want to say thank you!
Lily wipes her cheek as a few tears roll down. They, of course, were tears of joy.
Lily Lopez: Maki underestimated me, and her thinking that the same Lily Lopez she beat last time was the same Lily she was facing tonight is what lead to her downfall. This isn't just the ONE, this is the first of many. I really can't say much else right now. I'm still catching my breath. But after I celebrate, I'll hop on social media and we can celebrate this together!
A very emotional Lily Lopez waves at the camera as the staff actually begin to lift her up in celebration as cameras fade away.
Match #4: Trinity vs The Gemstones
Alex Lawson: The following tag team contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!

And their opponents…representing Trinity…at a combined weight of 263 lbs…Valentine Skye and Brooke! Cartwright!
Ruby Steele and Valentina Skye start the match for their respective teams! Skye tries to lock up with Steele, but she immediately responds with an Arm Drag! Skye pops back to her feet, leaving an opening for Steele to catch her with a Dropkick! Steele spots an advantage, looking to capitalize by hitting a Lionsault on Skye! But Skye gets to her feet just as Steele gets to the second rope, pulling the rope out from under her and causing her to fall to the mat! She immediately takes advantage, pouncing on top of her with an Elbow Drop, before getting to her feet and doubling down with a Moonsault! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
