The opening video package comes to an end and the second verse of Escape The Fate’s “One for the Money” rings in as we zoom out from the titantron to reveal a wall of pyro surrounding it! We pan across a capacity crowd of Minnesotan fans in The Armory, before going to the announce desk.
Eddie Red Apples: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night Fusion, episode thirty three! I’m Eddie Red Apples being joined as by Amber--
Red Apples is suddenly cut off by the opening of “The Gun Show” by In This Moment and as Maria Brink’s vocals kick in, Kara “Killer” Carbajal bursts out onto the stage with a snarl on her face as she wastes little time making her way down the ramp.
Amber Westgate: Well before Eddie was cut off, he was going to say he’s being joined by me, Amber Westgate. But enough about that, what is Kara Carbajal doing out here?
Eddie Red Apples: Well I’d assume that with the war against NFW being over with that the extra rules that were put in place for the safety of our employees were lifted… but with Mr. Morgan’s unfortunate kidnapping and with his recent issues with this woman, I’m surprised to see her out here too.
Amber Westgate: I mean… I suppose if Mr. Morgan isn’t here, that means Kara here can do as she pleases… which is a scary thought.
Carter quickly rolls under the bottom rope and into the ring before she calls for a microphone and is handed one as “The Gun Show” fades out.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So Kai Morgan’s been kidnapped has he? Or did he just go into hiding over the embarrassment of not being able to shut another wrestling company down?!
She turns her attention to the stage.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Is your ego that fragile that you couldn’t just be gracious in the fact you couldn’t do what you so badly wanted to do and put a load of people, including some of my own sisters out of a fucking job, Kai?!
The behemoth pauses for a moment to see if this whole kidnapping was just a ruse.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I suppose since our esteemed boss is MIA that I should just run roughshod over this place until I get what I deserve then?! Hell, maybe I’ll take a trip over to Mayhem and literally spear Jessica Anderson out of her boots?!
Carbajal smirks and shrugs.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I mean… there’s nobody who can stop me from doing those things. And I’m still not getting paid to be here because Kai’s skin is paper thin so… I may as well have some fun to make up for that!
Now the woman known as “Killer” turns deadly serious again as she turns her focus back to the hard camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Listen up, Dorsey! While Kai is away? I’m running this bitch! And I will do whatever it takes to make sure you give me another shot at that belt! I mean… I have decimated every single fucking person who has been put in front of me! And if Kasey fucking Kash is gonna get another shot at your title?! Then considering I would already be standing here as the champion had it not been for that asshole?! Then I deserve another shot too! And if I don’t hear from you soon? Well… people are going to get hurt!
The behemoth drops the microphone as “The Gun Show” blasts out of the PA system and she exits the ring and begins to make her way up the ramp.
Eddie Red Apples: I don’t like the sound of that, Alivia.
Amber Westgate: Kara has been decimating people left and right… and that was even before that title match she had and ever since she came up short in that match, she’s been on a mission to make sure she gets what she wants.
Carbajal reaches the stage and turns back around and pulls the cameraman towards her and glares into the lens.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: You’ve got till the end of tonight’s show to answer, Dorsey! Don’t keep me fucking waiting!
The Shieldmaiden then shoves the cameraman back before disappearing through the curtain as we go to our first match.
Match #1: Diamond Steele vs Razzles Mars ©
YouTube! Championship Match
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And it is for the Zion Wrestling YOUTUBE! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring boos. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more boos. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.
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 beat increases, as "Strawberry Shake" gets into its energetic beat. Razzles Mars excitedly rushes out past the velvet lined curtains, a lollipop's stick seen prodding from between her lips. She bounces on the stage, hands clapping in time with the beat, hyping up the crowd. She undoes the attachments of her entrance jacket and skirt and collects a few high fives from the fans in attendance, before excitedly climbing the stairs. Taking a moment to pose for pictures before bending into the ring through the ropes, rebounding herself off the bottom rope to catapult herself into the center of the ring with a very flouncy twirl. Striking a pose with her arms voguing, her chin placed on her bridged fingers before "Strawberry Shake" began to fade in the distance.
Amber Westgate: Safe to say Razzles could be in trouble here! She’s been through A LOT in recent weeks, but I, like so many Fusion fans know that Razzles always gives it her all. Diamond no doubt has never been as dangerous, or as aggressive. Could all of this add up to the end of Raz’s reign?
Alex Lawson: Introducing first, the challenger…representing the Gemstones…from London, England…weighing in at 110 lbs…”The Siren”! Diamond! Steele!
And her opponent…from the Candy Kingdom…weighing in at 13,607.771 sugar packets…she is the Zion Wrestling YOUTUBE! CHAMPION!...RAZZLES! MARS!!
Steele comes out of the gate hot, immediately running at Mars and catching her with a Yakuza Kick in the corner! She capitalizes, battering the YouTube Champion in the corner until the official comes to break things up! Steele relents, allowing Mars to reach a somewhat vertical base in the corner! This would change however, with Steele pulling her out of the corner and wrenching her arm, before slamming it over her own shoulder! Mars recoils, the move having hyperextended her injured shoulder! Steele doesn’t give her a chance to try and recover, immediately pulling her in and sending her to the mat with a Shoulder Block to the injured shoulder! Steele with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Mars! Steele gets right back on her however, getting Mars to a seated position before working over the arm, stretching it back to further harm the injured area! Mars seems to be hopeless here, but she eventually gets back into it! She shifts her weight to the side, before sending a few heavy strikes to Steeles midsection with her good arm, before just barely managing to throw her to the mat with an Arm Drag! Steele pops back to her feet, running toward Mars and being caught with a Running Hurricanrana! Steele retreats to the corner as Mars makes it to her feet, clutching her shoulder and she does! Steele leans back in the corner, using the turnbuckles for support! This only serves to give Mars the advantage, however, as she runs up and hits Steele with a Big Boot in the corner, sending her into a seated position! Mars is ready to attack again, going for a Cannonball Senton to Steele that slumps her even further down into the corner! She immediately takes advantage once again, this time hitting her with a Sliding D! Mars immediately buckles after the shot, clutching the injured shoulder before pulling Steele out of the corner and going for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Steele! Mars slowly gets back up to her feet, looking back and forth between Steele and the ropes before quickly running across the ring as she gets to her knees! She hits the ropes, looking to catch Steele with a Shining Wizard! But The Siren quickly makes it back to her feet, sneaking her way around Mars and wrapping her arms around her waist before slamming her to the mat with a German Suplex! Mars tries her best to get to her feet, knowing the longer she stays nonvertical, the more opportunities Steele has to take advantage! She runs to the ropes, hopping onto the middle rope to hit a Springboard Crossbody! She goes for the pin almost immediately!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Mars gets the shoulder up, but that may have been a mistake! The arm attached to Mars’ injured shoulder catches Steele’s attention, she gets hold of it, cinching in a Lebell Lock! Mars is in extreme pain now, but fortunately for her she’s close to the ropes, managing to get a free arm onto it! The official demands Mars’ release from Steele’s clutches, but the challenger refuses to let go! Steele uses the full count of four she’s afforded, before reluctantly releasing the hold! Steele gets Mars to her feet, looking to make another move! But Mars still has some fight left in her, sending a few stiff Forearms to the side of Steele’s head until she relents! Mars hits the ropes now catching Steele with a Big Boot! Steele pops up to her feet, only to be nailed with a Running Dropkick from Mars! Steele gets up just as Mars returns for a Lariat! She ducks underneath, looking for a Back Suplex to counter with! But Mars lands on her feet, waiting for Steele to turn around before catching her with the EVERLASTING GOBBSTOPPER!! SPLIT-LEGGED JAWBREAKER CONNECTS!! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Steele! Mars remains undeterred, however, looking to lock in the Mars Bar to finish things off! But her injured shoulder gets in the way, with Mars being unable to get the hold on properly! She eventually gives up, looking for another move in her arsenal to finish off her opponent! She slowly makes her way up to the top rope, looking for the Peppermint Twist! She launches and…SHE NAILS IT!!...Wait…no…NO! Steele rolls through, getting a full grip around Mars’ injured arm and locking in SHIPWRECKED!! SEATED FUJIWARA ARMBAR IS IN!! Mars is in the center of the ring with nowhere to go! She can’t reach the ropes at all, leaving her completely hopeless! She tries her damnedest to reach the ropes, but seeing this, Steele cranks up the intensity, benting Mars’ arms back to genuinely unwatchable lengths as she screams out in agony! Mars can’t take anymore and, deciding to live to fight another day, vehemently taps out! The match is over! We have a new champion!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…via submission…and NEW Zion Wrestling YOUTUBE! CHAMPION!...DIAMOND! STEELE!
(((Commentator’s Note: Go wild on this part of it. Give a genuine reaction to the title change.)))
Amber Westgate: Heartbreak, a sad, sad day for the Candy Kingdom! Oh my god! But she had to, she was about to snap like a candy cane! Diamond Steele just proved she’s one tough bitch, and tough enough to be a champion.
Diamond Steele looks, hearing the announcement and still being in disbelief as the referee hands her the YouTube! Championship belt! She clutches the title, looking down on Mars as she tries to recover before the Gemstones arrive to celebrate with her! They lift her onto their shoulders, with Steele holding up the belt and sneering at the crowd as we fade out!
WINNER: DIAMOND STEELE (VIA SUBMISSION)
NEW CHAMPION CROWNED
Backstage at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota we find the lovely figure of “The Most Valuable Powers” Aubrianna Powers. The MVP is dressed in her wrestling gear, which is colored mostly hot pink and black. She has a cocky, arrogant smirk etched across her face. Her long pink tipped blonde hair cascades down to past the shoulders. She also sports a black leather jacket.
Aubrianna: Ladies and gentlemen of Zion, and yes, even you,Chelsea…the rumors are true, and the wait is over, your one true MVP Aubrianna Powers has arrived!
Loud cheering can be heard…but it’s obviously being piped in from somewhere. No one would cheer this egomaniac.
Aubrianna: What does it mean to be The MVP? That’s a very good question, one that none of you losers would understand. So allow me to explain it to you. My brother Steve Powers was the first person in our family to be a professional wrestler. He was great. He even called himself “The Very Best” Steve Powers. He was great, dare I say he was the very best, but the key word there is…WAS…
The MVP giggles.
Aubrianna: Then there’s Derek Powers, the middle child of the family. He was just as good as Steve, maybe even better. He called himself “The Absolute Perfect” Derek Powers. Now I love my brothers. But the very best? Absolutely perfect?
Powers shrugs her shoulders.
Aubrianna: I think not! The fact is that our parents quit having children when they had me because they realized that they had finally achieved perfection. I truly am the very best. And I am The Most Valuable Powers!
Red Apples is suddenly cut off by the opening of “The Gun Show” by In This Moment and as Maria Brink’s vocals kick in, Kara “Killer” Carbajal bursts out onto the stage with a snarl on her face as she wastes little time making her way down the ramp.
Amber Westgate: Well before Eddie was cut off, he was going to say he’s being joined by me, Amber Westgate. But enough about that, what is Kara Carbajal doing out here?
Eddie Red Apples: Well I’d assume that with the war against NFW being over with that the extra rules that were put in place for the safety of our employees were lifted… but with Mr. Morgan’s unfortunate kidnapping and with his recent issues with this woman, I’m surprised to see her out here too.
Amber Westgate: I mean… I suppose if Mr. Morgan isn’t here, that means Kara here can do as she pleases… which is a scary thought.
Carter quickly rolls under the bottom rope and into the ring before she calls for a microphone and is handed one as “The Gun Show” fades out.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So Kai Morgan’s been kidnapped has he? Or did he just go into hiding over the embarrassment of not being able to shut another wrestling company down?!
She turns her attention to the stage.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Is your ego that fragile that you couldn’t just be gracious in the fact you couldn’t do what you so badly wanted to do and put a load of people, including some of my own sisters out of a fucking job, Kai?!
The behemoth pauses for a moment to see if this whole kidnapping was just a ruse.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I suppose since our esteemed boss is MIA that I should just run roughshod over this place until I get what I deserve then?! Hell, maybe I’ll take a trip over to Mayhem and literally spear Jessica Anderson out of her boots?!
Carbajal smirks and shrugs.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: I mean… there’s nobody who can stop me from doing those things. And I’m still not getting paid to be here because Kai’s skin is paper thin so… I may as well have some fun to make up for that!
Now the woman known as “Killer” turns deadly serious again as she turns her focus back to the hard camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Listen up, Dorsey! While Kai is away? I’m running this bitch! And I will do whatever it takes to make sure you give me another shot at that belt! I mean… I have decimated every single fucking person who has been put in front of me! And if Kasey fucking Kash is gonna get another shot at your title?! Then considering I would already be standing here as the champion had it not been for that asshole?! Then I deserve another shot too! And if I don’t hear from you soon? Well… people are going to get hurt!
The behemoth drops the microphone as “The Gun Show” blasts out of the PA system and she exits the ring and begins to make her way up the ramp.
Eddie Red Apples: I don’t like the sound of that, Alivia.
Amber Westgate: Kara has been decimating people left and right… and that was even before that title match she had and ever since she came up short in that match, she’s been on a mission to make sure she gets what she wants.
Carbajal reaches the stage and turns back around and pulls the cameraman towards her and glares into the lens.

The Shieldmaiden then shoves the cameraman back before disappearing through the curtain as we go to our first match.

NEW CHAMPION CROWNED
Backstage at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota we find the lovely figure of “The Most Valuable Powers” Aubrianna Powers.

The MVP winks.
Aubrianna: Portia, sweetie, you get the distinct honor and privilege of being the first of many to lose to me. Find a friend…if you have any…and have them take pictures for you, so you will have memories of this historic night. You won’t remember much of anything after I kick your head off it’s shoulders with The Most Valuable Kick. So you will need pictures to help you remember this night. Plus once I become a huge megastar in Zion, once I prove that I am now the very best wrestler in this company…because let’s face it, I already am, it’s a matter of proving it to nonbelievers like you…but when I do become a megastar, those pictures will become priceless. Just like me! I am the brand new priceless Most Valuable Megastar of Zion and you can do nothing but learn to love it, bitches.
Sitting in the locker room, getting prepared for her match, Zara Ivory listened to the chaos that had already started in the arena without Kai Morgan being around. Her elbows were resting on her knees, the green haired woman allowing her cousin to take the bandage off of her stitched forehead. The area was still a touch tender, but it wasn't too tender for her to wrestle against Mai Blackman. She winced a little as Marley finished getting the covering off of her 6 stitches, and she glared a bit at her cousin when she saw a few green strands of hair clinging to the tape that had been holding the bandage in place.
Zara Ivory: "Ouch! Come on, Mar! I'd like to keep my hair, y'know!"
Marley Divata: "Oh relax Zara…a few strands of hair is nothing compared to what's going on out there as it is. Besides, Mai isn't going to care about you wanting to keep your hair."
Zara rolled her eyes a bit when Marley mentioned Mai. It was round two between the women, and the green-haired beauty was determined to get her win back against Blackman, especially with a title shot on the line.
Zara Ivory: “I’m not worried about what Mai Blackman is going to be concerned about. The only thing on my mind is getting this win and getting that shot at Jordan again. I will get that title one way or another.”
Marley Divata: “Chill out…Jesus! It’s not like it’s the first time you’re facing Mai or would be facing Jordan for that matter. You know how both of them work in the ring, and your brothers taught you how to learn from those you face.”
Zara pushed herself up, looking at her cousin once she was straightened up. There was a touch of a difference in their height with Zara being the taller of the two. There was nothing tense between the two of them, they had always been close, but there were also times that Zara wished Marley wasn’t quite so outspoke on things. Although, it was something that was very loved about her at the same time.
Zara Ivory: “I know what they taught me, but that doesn’t always mean shit. I could have dozens of matches with them and still never manage to win against them. I may learn, but so do they. Mai is no joke, and I don’t intend to take her as such…same for Jordan should I get the chance to face her again.”
Marley was about to speak up again, but she was stopped when the door suddenly opened then closed quickly. The two women looked over towards the door and saw Teresa Jacobson, Kai Morgan’s fiance, and the acting general manager until he was found. Her eyes were closed as she leaned against the door, and her hair seemed to be in a mess. The woman was taking a few deep breaths then she slowly opened her eyes, a small smile forming across her lips as she waved at the two green-haired women.
Teresa Jacobson: “Sorry ladies, I didn’t realize anyone was in here. I figured this would be the last place people would look for me…for now at least. I didn’t mean to intrude while you get ready for your match, Zara.”
Marley Divata:“No worries, Teresa. I know it’s crazy out there right now. I’m sure it’s not easy to be taking Kai’s place right now…and I’m sure not everyone respects the move. Any time you need to hide out for a few minutes, feel free to chill out in there. I don’t care.”
Zara Ivory: “Yeah…don’t worry about it, T. Take a breather for as long as you need. Things’ll calm down as you get used to being behind the desk. We’re about to head outta here as it is, so just take your time. And know that some of us will have your back…I don’t know who, but I know, for sure, that we will.”
Teresa nodded at the two women in thanks as they made their way towards the door. Marley gave the dark-haired woman a smile as she left the locker room, leaving Zara and Teresa alone. Zara gave Teresa a squeeze on her shoulder as well as a reassuring smile before leaving the locker room as well, the scene fading out as Teresa sat down.
Match #2: Aubrianna Powers vs Portia Chevelle
Powers and Chevelle circle the ring around one another, looking to lock up in the center! Powers is having none of it, however, rebuking Chevelle’s attempts at a grappling contest in favor of dropping low and getting her arms around her with a Waistlock! Chevelle tries to escape, but Powers is already on route to getting what she wants, pushing her into the ropes and pulling her to the mat for an O’Connor Roll Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Chevelle! She gets back up to her knees, only to be immediately slammed down with Superkick by Powers! She acts quickly, hitting the ropes and slamming a knee into Chevelle’s face with a Shining Wizard before she falls to the mat in earnest! Powers further capitalizes now, taking to the top rope before raining down on Chevelle with a 450 Splash! Another pin by Powers!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kick out by Chevelle! Powers is ready to finish off Chevelle however, waiting for her to crawl to her feet before nailing her with MVK!! MOST VALUABLE KICK!! BLACK MASS CONNECTS!! Chevelle collapses to the mat, leading Powers to hit the ropes and nail with SIMPLY THE BEST MOONSAULT!! LIONSAULT GETS HER!! Powers with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Aubrianna! Powers!
Amber Westgate: Damn! Portia just couldn’t get the engine running at all in this one! I think we all learned not to let looks fool you. Aubrianna Powers is a tiny terror! She proved herself she just might be a very, very valuable player in the future of Fusion!
Powers raises her hands in celebration as we fade out!
WINNER: AUBRIANNA POWERS (VIA PINFALL)
The camera jumps backstage where we see Meliana Rodrigo standing with Mai Blackman. The one known as The Bounty Hunter stands in her ring gear with her towel over her neck, shifting impatiently in place.
[Meliana Rodrigo: Hey everyone! I’m standing here with Mai Blackman, moments away from her match with Zara Ivory. We’re gonna find out who the next #1 Contender to the Viral Championship is! Mai, how are you feeling for tonight’s match?
Mai Blackman: How am I feeling? How am I feeling? I’m feeling impatient. I wanna get out there and get the job done. I don’t have time to be fucking around, so make it quick.
Meliana swallows nervously and inches a bit back out of Mai’s personal bubble. Possibly out of fear she’s gonna get hit.
[Meliana Rodrigo: Hey hey, alright. Fair enough! Tonight, you have a chance to challenge Jordan Majors for the Viral Championship but first you have to go through Zara Ivory. That’s someone you’re very familiar with. You’ve faced her before.
Mai Blackman: Yeah, I have faced her before and I’ve beaten her before. We’ve been over this already. She brought everything last time we squared up and I put her on her ass. I know what I gotta do to beat her. If she wants to beat me, she’s gonna have to dig down deep and find something new because I can read her green ass like a book.
Mai turns directly to the camera, staring hard into it.
Mai Blackman: And I’m not talking about your hair. You were the big mystery team member for Zion going into Ultimate Battleground and look where that got you. Spoiler for anyone who didn’t watch: tune into NFW Collision on Tuesday because she didn’t get the fucking job done! Make no mistake, I’ve got nothing but respect for Kai Morgan but, hey. Bossman? Next time?
She doesn’t say a word. She just opens out her arms, raises her eyebrows and makes a slight motion towards herself.
Mai Blackman: Now. Rodrigo? I’ve got some business to handle. Jordan Majors, you’d better be watching, too. I want you to see what I’m gonna do to you before I take that title you’ve been keeping warm for me.
Voodoo Johnson’s “United Divided” starts playing out in the arena as Mai shoulders her way past Meliana Rodrigo and disappears through the curtain to head out on stage.

Blackman drags Ivory out of the corner and goes for the pin!

This is caught in full view of the referee and Blackman, prompting both of them to berate her for her actions!

The momentary distraction is all Ivory truly needs however, with Blackman quickly being taken to the mat with a Schoolboy Roll Up!

Ivory rolls through, hitting a second Suplex! She rolls through once more, getting Ivory up in a Suplex position, this time stalling as she has Blackman upside down in the air!

Ivory is left in a daze now, clutching her head as Blackman has seemed to find her new target! She gets Ivory to her feet, throwing her to the mat with a Saito Suplex! She gets Ivory up to her feet again, going for a second Saito Suplex! She gets Ivory back to her feet once more, this time looking for a Belly-To-Belly Suplex instead! This seems to work against her however, as Ivory is able to catch herself on her hands once again, looking for another Handspring! But Blackman anticipated this, immediately drilling Ivory in the midsection with a Kick as she’s upside down! Ivory begins to crumble to the mat, her feet planting on the canvas as she falls limp! Blackman takes advantage once again, sending her crashing to the mat with a German Suplex! Blackman wastes no time with her opponent incapcitated like this, tying her up and putting her in BLACKMAN’S BOUNTY!! TRIANGLE CHOKE IS IN!! Ivory can’t even fight back by this point, as the referee notices that she’s completely out of it! He calls for the bell, this match is over!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…via knockout…Mai! Blackman!
Amber Westgate: These ladies threw everything they had at each other. This just goes to show how heated the Viral title picture is! Zara may very well be a future Viral Champion. For now? The line clearly starts behind Mai Blackman. Will she finally get that bounty around Jordan Majors’ waist?
Blackman stands over a fallen Ivory, looking directly into the hard camera and making a belt gesture around her waist before we fade out!
WINNER: MAI BLACKMAN (VIA KNOCKOUT)
Maki Megumi: Haha. Tired of watching pig bites each other right? For me this show is so boring. I don't know who ran this show because Kai was away and you know it's not interesting? Zara Ivory faces Mai Blackman for number one contender? You think this is an interesting match? Can you really think of this? No, this is not interesting. You know what, I should have a match this week. I'm undoubtedly more interesting than these idiots. To be honest this week sucks, I'm rewatching Invasion, I'm still having more fun. But ok I understand wanting to rest all wrestlers after the end of Invasion if that's the reason ok but they can wrestle here. They were not injured at all. But it's a shame that even the Jordan Majors couldn't win in the Invasion, plus that was another surrender. Did you rest because you were embarrassed? Poor my little Jordan, but so be it. I don't want to talk about the uninterestingness of this show any more because believe me something is going to happen. Something more chaotic than Invasion. Come to think of it, I could do better with this show than an idiot right now. A chaos that many people may have forgotten is about to happen. And believe me, it's going to be worse, worse than Invasion. Trust me, in my hands, Fusion will get better and so will it. When do I have power? It's going to be fun. more interesting and returned to be the number one show again. Let's face it, I'm really hoping that Fusion will return to the top of the charts once again, never again after losing to Mayhem in WarGames. Maybe it's time for a change.
Maki Megumi: A champion like Razzles Mars or a champion like the Jordan Majors who can't be beaten in Invasion is pathetic and ridiculous. Many people wondered if I lost in Invasion, but you know after all that hell I shouldn't have to wonder if I'm the best in Fusion and I'm not just the best in Fusion, but I'm good. Better than everyone in Zion, I've been through hell and I can do more than all of you guys can in Invasion. I've shown that I'm fearless in Invasion, where some of you are scared of a hardcore match, but neither do I. like it because it's fun I'm not afraid to face anyone in a hardcore match, ask if I'm disappointed in Invasion? I wasn't disappointed because I had fun. I was told it would be a massacre and gory, I think the match booked me the best in Invasion without a doubt. I don't need anyone to tell me what my matches were like in Invasion, after all that, there should be no doubt that I'm really the devil or not. Yes, I am the devil of ZionWrestling. I came with the savagery you didn't expect. I'm dangerous and I've proven to you how dangerous I am. Maybe I'm the most dangerous person here, you never know what I'm going to do after this. But chaos is about to happen, this will be the last warning, so when you guys are not careful that will undoubtedly be a disaster. Well, I'm tired of holding the Jordan Majors. After this, I'll be serious about chasing it again. And believe me, whoever gets in my way will never escape the hell I'm going to give to the Viral Division. You guys don't want their worst nightmares, right? But believe me, you guys can't escape it.
Maki Megumi: Fusion treats me like I have nothing. I let people act like I'm a clown after I lost to that little bastard named Lily Lopez. Had enough fun and I'm back this time, you guys learn that no one here can stop me. I'm going to defeat all your heroes who stand in my way, or even a little pussy named Lily Lopez that defeated me just because of my slightest mistake, but beware the worst is coming. Demons are invading Fusion. Demons are returning to the war I started here. And prove why I'm the best Megumi. If you think someone can stop me, send it and you will know that no one can stop me. I am the most fearsome demon of chaos in Zion. The bloodshed is about to begin. and the weak will fall like dominoes Only the strong will remain here. And believe me, if I had the power I would turn this place into a strong place and no one would suspect the brand. Which is the strongest Believe that I can control all of this. You guys might think I'm crazy or crazy. Yes it might be like that, but hey, I'll change this place for the better. Crazy it should be a change for Fusion now I'm not going to let a little pussy like Jordan Majors survive any longer I'll just wait and see if the next challenger will succeed or not? If that doesn't work, I'll get rid of everyone in my way and go back to No. 1 in the rank Viral Division, and when it's my turn again, it's time for the Jordan Majors to step down from the throne. No one else will be able to stop this chaotic demon like me, weaklings? just have to die.

She gets Dos back up, throwing him across the ring with a Fallaway Slam! Dos retreats right into the DataDames’ corner, with Gonzalez nailing him with a Yakuza Kick!
