Match #1: Rayola Davine vs Hunter Werth

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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Phoenix, Arizona…weighing in at 180 lbs…Hunter! Werth!

And his opponent…from Seattle, Washington…weighing in at 115 lbs…”The Devil’s Angel”...Rayola! Davine!



From across the ring, both wrestlers eye each other up, assessing each other’s stature and going over their respective match history. Each has their own bank of loud fan screaming for their victory.

The bell rings and both fighters move to the center of the ring. Rayola suddenly breaks into a run, jumping and sending a roundhouse kick at Hunter’s torso. Hunter throws up his arm, blocking the kick while also striking out with his own leg and tripping Rayola. Rayola rolls backwards as Hunter grabs at her, barely missing her.

The two quickly begin to circle each other again. Before she can react, Hunter sets onto Rayola and locking up at the shoulders. The larger fighter uses his size advantage to drive Rayola back to the ropes. He whips Rayola across the ring into the ropes and catches her on the rebound with a standing dropkick. Davine spills backwards, landing hard on the canvas.

Rayola barely hits the mat before kipping up. But her acrobatics are met with force and Hunter slams into her, driving the Devil’s Angel into a corner. He immediately begins slamming a series of knife edge chops across her chest, stopping as the referee counts to four. Hunter steps back, grabs Rayola arm’s and yanks her into a short arm. She falls backwards into the turnbuckles.

Werth grabs Davine and easily yanks her smaller form to the center of the ring, laying across her for a pin.

One…

T--

Rayola sparks to life, throwing a shoulder up and driving an open palm under Hunter’s jaw and shoving his head up, exposing his throat. A palm strike connects with his larynx, sending Werth sputtering and gagging as he falls off Rayola.

Rayola rises to her feet as Hunter sits on the canvas, rubbing his throat. Rayola throws herself at the ropes, driving a missile dropkick into Hunter’s back. The Devil’s Angel hops up and moves to Hunter’s side, slamming a foot into his chest, another into his back, and one more kick across the chest. The third kick knocks Hunter onto his back. Rayola hops over him, runs to the ropes, and leaps backwards in her version of a lionsault, the Sunspot. Immediately she attempts a pin.

One--

Hunter manages to shove Rayola off, shaking out the cobwebs out as best he can. Rayola rises, pulling Hunter up with her.

Rayola attempts to whip Hunter into a corner but the larger wrestler manages to reverse it, sending her flying instead. Hunter rushes after, sending an elbow where Rayola’s head is.

Or was. At the last possible second, Davine manages to throw herself from the impact zone, letting Hunter slam into the turnbuckles instead. As he turned around, Rayola jumped onto him in an attempt to pull her opponent to the mat in a slit-legged facebuster. Instead, Hunter grabbed Rayola by the sides and brought her inner leg down on an outstretched knee before shoving her to the mat.

Rayola slowly plods to her feet only to be intercepted by Hunter. He grabs her around then neck and spins, bringing her back to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker. It looks as though he’s ready to try for a cover but Davine is already attempting to get up, showing she’s not even close to ready to give up. Hunter nods to himself at this. The refusal to give in is something he respects.

Hunter grabs Rayola and pulls her in close for a belly-to-belly suplex – instead, she brings her head into his lower haw as hard as she can. The moment of surprise is all Rayola needs to slip from his hug, sliding between his legs and behind him. Rayola whips herself into the ropes again, catching Hunter as he turns in the split-legged facebuster. This time, he does in fact go down.

Rayola is up immediately, running up the turnbuckles and flipping backwards off the ringpost. Her knees land in Hunter’s chest, shaking his body. She pops up only to come down on him again with an elbow in the same spot. This time, Hunter rolls onto his side, clutching the impact and unable to hide how much it hurt.

This sudden turn of events in her favor energizes Rayola, pumping her with adrenaline. She stands, rolling Hunter onto his back. Then, turning her back to him, she flips backwards and lands across him in a splash. The fans eat it up, screaming for more. This only speaks to the daredevil in her, making her want to give more and more. Hunter, catching his breath, shoves her off of him and rolls again onto all fours.

Rayola runs to the ropes and hops over them, waiting and watching. As Hunter gets to his feet, she launches off the cables in a springboard dropkick. Unfortunately for her, Hunter thinks quickly and reaches up, grabbing her legs and shoving them upwards. The results is Rayola crashing to the canvas on her shoulders.

Upon impact, Rayola’s arm shoots up towards Hunter. Without thinking, he grabs her arm and puts it in a Fujiwara armbar. Leaning all his weight into it, Hunter bends the limb mercilessly. Rayola scrambles, grabbing onto the bottom rope. Before the referee can even say anything, Hunter releases the hold and steps back, his hands up.

Hunter moves away, letting Rayola get up to her feet. Rayola shakes out her arm, massaging her shoulder, before beginning to circle again. The two go to lock up but, instead, Rayola grabs Hunter’s right arm and slides under it, twisting it behind his back. She places a boot in the small of his back and shoves him into the ropes. When her turns to address her, Rayola jumps onto Hunter and sends him flying with a frankensteiner.

Hunter slowly pushes up. He can feel himself being worn down by Rayola. When he’s up on his knees, she darts at him, bringing a shining wizard across his skull and spilling Hunter back to canvas. She immediately attempts a pin.

One…

Two…

Again, Hunter heaves Rayola off of him, sitting up and gasping. He plods upwards. Rayola grabs him to pull him up but is instead greeted with a forearm in the midsection, followed by another, more forceful hit. Rayola doubles over just as Hunter clasps his hands and brings them up with full force into her lower jaw. Rayola stumbles backwards, stunned.

Hunter rushes to Rayola and yanks her into a bearhug, easily lifting her off her feet as he squeezed. Frantically, Rayola tries to pry herself free and slams hits across the side of head. Werth takes the hits, squeezing the hug tighter before finally racing to a corner and slamming Rayola against the turnbuckles.

Grabbing the middle ropes on either side, Hunter begins slamming his shoulder into Rayola’s midsection over and over. Each impact lifts her off her feet. As the referee reaches a count of five, Hunter grabs Rayola’s arm and whips her to the opposite corner. Her body collides with the corner and, seconds later, Hunter’s body collides with hers.

Climbing up to the middle ropes, Hunter begins slamming punch after punch into Rayola’s face and crown. When the referee again reaches a count of five, he backs off and Rayola immediately slides to the mat.

Grabbing her ankles, Hunter falls backwards and slings Rayola overhead and to across the ring in a crash. Rayola lays still as Hunter straddles her form, stooping and grabbing her legs and applying a Boston crab.

Rayola scrapes and pulls at the mat, trying to pull herself to the ropes, but Hunter is locked in place. The referee stoops, asking her if she’d like to submit. Aggressively, she shakes her head in a negative and refuses to give in to the pain. She instead palms at the mat, trying to pull herself towards the safety of the bottom rope.

Realizing she can’t get away, Rayola grabs Hunter’s legs and yanks. Not expecting this, Werth is caught off guard and stumbles forward. More importantly for Rayola, she’s able to pull herself from the hold and slide forward. She moves to the ropes, pulling herself up by the cables.

Hunter gets up and turns, storming at Rayola. His chin is met with a boot across the jaw, pushing him backwards. Rayola rushes to him, leaping on his shoulders as for a hurricana but instead begins driving elbows between his eyes over and over. Hunter throws Rayola off but she manages to land on her feet. Hunter takes a wild swing at Rayola but she Matrix-style ducks backwards. He takes another swing and again she rolls backwards, this time in a handstand before bringing the heel of her boot into his mouth. Righting herself up, Rayola legsweeps Hunter and knocking him to the mat.

Rayola descends onto Hunter, grabbing his wrist and stomps her feet against his ribs, trapping the limb between her own legs and twisting at the wrist. Hunter howls in shock and pain as she twists his hand.

Hunter gathers himself, pulling up to his knees. Realizing she won’t be able to keep him on the mat, Rayola releases the hold. She runs up the turnbuckles behind him, launching herself in the air. But Hunter manages to catch her over his shoulder, squeezing her tight before falling backwards to the mat. Her head slams against the mat before she’s dumped.

Hunter grabs Rayola from behind, locking his hands around her waist, and deftly lifts her up and suplexes her backwards, her shoulders bounding off the ropes behind them. Instead of throwing her backwards out of the ring, Hunter uses the cables to bound her up and throw her forward. The ring shakes as Rayola’s petite form slams, face-first, into the mat.

Davine barely stirs while Werth sizes things up. It’s obviously time to end this. His opponent is battered and worn down, but he’s also battered and getting more and more exhausted. As he moves towards Rayola he watches as she clumsily pulls herself to her feet. He grabs her, putting her arms around her neck for a cobra clutch slam. As Hunter lifts her up, Rayola manages to use her smaller size to her advantage and squeeze her head out of the hold before she can be pulled off her feet. She fumbles forward, throwing a kick backwards into Hunter’s gut.

Hunter takes the kick, gritting his teeth. It obviously hurt but he manages to power through it. Rayola sends a spinning fist towards his head but Hunter blocks it before shoving Rayola into the ropes. When she rebounds, Hunter uses the whip to aid in lifting Rayola up and slamming her down in a burning hammer. As Rayola crumples to the canvas, Hunter goes for a cover.

One…

Two…

Th---

Rayola barely gets a shoulder up. Hunter looks stunned and frustrated as he slowly pushes himself up. He grabs Rayola by the arms and begins to pull her up. Instead, Rayola slams the bottom of her boot on Hunter’s knee. Hunter stumbles back as Rayola rolls onto all fours and mule kicks the man in the legs. As the larger fighter falters, the Devil’s Angel kips up.

Rayola runs at Hunter, leaping on him for a sling blade. As she comes down, Werth manages to steady himself and prevent his attacker from slamming him to the mat. Instead, he heaves Rayola backwards. Davine lands on her feet and leaps up, slamming a roundhouse kick to Hunter’s temple as he starts to turn, knocking him for a loop.

Rayola bounds off the ropes, aiming herself at the dazed man. Werth turns just in time for Rayola to initiate her Ray-nbow – starting with a chick kick that spins Hunter. Ray’s high reverse heel kick cracks across Hunter’s jaw, knocking him on his back. Immediately, the smaller woman drops across him, lifting one of his legs. The referee drops and counts.

One…

Two…

THREE!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Rayola! Davine!

Rayola celebrates as we fade out!

WINNER: RAYOLA DAVINE (VIA PINFALL)



[*YOUTUBE COPYRIGHT BOTS HAVE CENSORED A PORTION OF THIS VIDEO’S AUDIO UNDER ITS COPYRIGHT PROTECTION BULLSHITTERY.*]

*90’s lovesong medlies.*

Helena Handbasket slides into frame, the camera panning out to show a darkened Zion Wrestling Star Factory Arena. Helena shifted into the only spotlight, pulled one of those vogues, side to side bad robot like dances to a Pentatonix track that youtube has surely censored right now. The music lulls down as Helena leaps on some packing pallets and winks at the camera.

She reaches down and picks up a bowl, and a box of lucky charms, a bottle of milk. Combining these without much thought of the process Handbasket starts speaking.

Helena Handbasket: “I got the sound system working, and into the building…Best not to ask. Look, I figured if the leprechaun couldn’t hear me, it’d be easier to get him. I almost had the wee buggar last night night. Everyone’s luck is best on St. Paddy’s day though.”

Helena sits on the pallet, slowly eating her cereal.

Helena Handbasket: “Speaking of green-ish annoying mythical creatures. Legion. Full of demons. Like, the ninth Legion I’ve seen. Although I do like the green. You’re also like the 47th Queen on this roster alone. To say nothing of the sport as a whole. I’m just saying, someone be a goddamn duchess or something! I’ll be the Duchess of Arsekickinton, that sounds badbass. Queen Hunter? Shit, I’m not French. Or I’d just said, I’m French, we behead our Queens….I’m actually British and we haven’t even gotten rid of the monarchy. Which might be worried if I remembered what point I was trying to make with this…”

Helena shimmies to music that she doesn’t realize can’t be heard. The scene just a touch awkward without the acapella pop hits. Moving in a way that sloshes some milk out of the bowl, Handbasket stops and looks sad for a moment, before she starts.

Helena Handbasket:

[/color]“Of course, I called you out. You don’t get to the jump line, just cause you’re comin back. You’re just another in a long, long generic line of demonery and dumbass. You can sit there and declare yourself a big deal, and I feel free to knee you in the face for it. Well. That bit is only allowed during our match. You’re so generic it’s a joke, and you know what? Helena Handbasket might *make* jokes. But she isn’t one. I’m tired of bein the joke of Zion, and I’m gonna use elbow, knee and submission hold, and I’m gonna show people, I’m more plucky. I’m more just a lil ducky..”[/span][/div][/b]

Helena hits her own forehead with the heel of her hand. She reaches into her white coat of many pockets and pulls out her cellphone, mercifully turning off the music with the DJ app. She sighs.

Helena Handbasket: “I know, I know, maybe stop with the rhyming couplets. I get it. I called Legion, whichever one of you wants to show up, because I’m not just the woman who puts on a good match but doesn’t make to the win. I love me work in Zion, but I want to win. So I picked the newest attraction, someone who’s gimmick is bein a copy of a copy. It’s not that I don’t think ya can’t win, it’s that I need to win,

and if I win you over you? I’m back on track. That’s what I want.”

[/span][/div][/b]

Helena shoots herself to her feet in a rapid movement, looking around, she looks behind the camera and shrugs. Another thoughtful bite of the cereal, a long drink of the milk before she finishes the bowl and sets it aside.

Helena Handbasket: I got a leprechaun to catch, and maybe my luck will hit, or hold out…I’m also gonna go put everythin’ back how I find it? I definitely, definitely didn’t hijack the Tron early for playin games…And maybe that nice Ms Jacbson will just fine me out me paycheck for trespassing, for this entire shtick…”

Helena winced, that crinkle nosed chagrin expression on her face with that half mischievous grin. She picks up the camera, and it has a few seconds of blurry black footage before it shuts entirely off.

The cameraman makes his way through the backstage area, as he is following the sound of a music box playing. The cameraman continued to follow it, as it led to a doorway, which was guarded by the House of Wolves. They smiled as they stepped aside, and the cameraman pushed his way to the door opening, as the cameraman steps through, and the wolves quickly slam the door shut behind him, the door then vanishes, as he slowly observes the black abyss. Out of the darkness the throne appears, with two new guards in all black watching over it. The cameraman curious as heels are heard clicking along the void, and the cameraman saw an orange glow coming down with her, as the black jacket, swayed in the breeze with her. Legion comes over and takes her spot on the throne, as she lifts her hand her red eyes, staring directly at the cameraman, Legion then waves off the two women, as one goes left into the darkness, while the other waits for a second.

“The Fire Demon” Legion: It’s alright mother you can go.

The woman nods her head, then vanishes into the darkness. Legion then looks at the cameraman who has just invaded the slow domain, as she smiled softly. She then sat up straight in the chair looking at him, she snaps her fingers, and a chair appears behind the cameraman. She then brushes her shoulder off, as she continued to watch him.

“The Fire Demon” Legion: SIT!

The Cameraman immediately sits down in the chair watching her, as she then got up. Her throne vanishing in the darkness. She then walks over to the cameraman, going around him running her hand on his cheek as she looked down upon him.

“The Fire Demon” Legion: There was once a prophecy that this void would become the throne world for the one of us that was to be the one true ruler. The queen has her own feelings, but alas we are not amused by it. See we are gonna have our fun with Helena, giving her the night that she asked for. She wanted to face us, and there was no shame in asking for this, but the punishment falls severe. 

Legion then goes back in front of the cameraman. She then looked at him, as she snapped her fingers and her throne appeared once more. Legion then sits down, as Mister J appears next to her handing her a drink. She then looks at the cameraman, as she noticed the cameraman pointing up the flaming crown over her head.

“The Fire Demon” Legion: Something new, showing our symbol of dominance over the others. Maybe it was just inevitable that we decided it was our time to use it. We bet you are wondering after Helena who is next? Well there is no way to reveal our plans at this point, so you’ll just have to figure it out as the rest of them do. That World Championship match though sounds invigorating, and winning that Battle Royal we have been entered into…

Legion takes a drink from the glass she had been handed, as she looked at the cameraman, looking at the clock floating by as she then lifted her hand. Mister J comes bearing the chest, as she takes two gold coins out from it, holding them up to the camera.

“The Fire Demon” Legion: Helena, these are the two coins that seal your fate. After this, we offer you safe passage to the river. Once you have that then you will truly know peace. But the time is coming, and the match comes soon, leave. Return once we have decided you are worthy…

Legion then points at the door that has emerged. The cameraman quickly scoots over to it, leaving the chair, as she looked at him. She laughed wickedly then threw her glass against the ground, dropping the two coins back into the chest, then vanishing back into the abyss. The cameraman turned around and sees Legion right in his face, grinning black ooze running from her mouth.

“The Fire Demon” Legion: It’s gonna be Storytime soon..

Legion then laughs slamming the door behind her as she vanished. The Wolves go back standing in the front of the door as the cameraman looks baffled. He goes off on his way, as a loud cackle is heard coming from behind the door, the scene heads out to the arena where the next match is to begin

At the bell Helena looks ready to go as she swoops in and then jumps back away. Legion seems mostly unamused as she leans back against the corner. Helena asks for Legion to come at her, but Legion stays put. The crowd grows uneasy as Helena shrugs and then sprints into the corner. Legion moves and puts a hand on the back of Helena’s head and slams her face first into the second turnbuckle!

Then she slams Helena on to her back and looks down over her.

Legion reaches down to grab Helena, but she’s caught by surprise as Helena twists her down to the ground and then locks in an STF!

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Legion!

Legion stands stoically over Helena Handbasket, shaking her head and raising her arms as we fade out!

WINNER: LEGION (VIA PINFALL)

The scene opens backstage where the members of Trinity: Brooke Cartwright, Delilah Hill and Valentina Skye are standing in front of the camera, which is capturing their domineering beauty by looking up at them, giving the implication that the cameraman is kneeling down. Delilah is dressed in a pink babydoll dress while Brooke and Valentina are in their pink ring attire for this occasion. The ladies look down at the camera with a purpose as Valentina begins to speak

Valentina Skye: Peasants of Fusion! Your Queens are back. I am sure you missed all of us.

The ladies simultaneously smirk as Valentina continues.

Valentina Skye: We know what all of you are thinking, which is hard to believe since you actually have to have brains to think. But it’s easy to see that things have not been going well with the Queens of Trinity. In fact, things are quite difficult. Lately, we have been on a bit of a slide and quite frankly, it annoys the hell out of all of us. We should be champions and ruling the world, much less Fusion. But nothing is seeming to go our way and there’s a WHOLE lot of people who don’t want to see us succeed.

They shake their heads with Valentina looking back up.

Valentina Skye: If this would happen to little people like you, you would run like a bat out of hell with your tail between your legs. But in case you need a reminder…

To that point, Valentina tosses her hair to the side before looking back down at the camera.

Valentina Skye: …We are NOT you and will NEVER be you!

As Brooke & Delilah nod their heads to acknowledge their fellow Queen’s statement, Delilah begins to speak.

Delilah Hill: To be honest, we find all of you finding jubilation in our struggles to be quite comical. And it’s not because you feel better about yourselves because so far, we haven’t been “living up to expectations”. It’s because deep inside your putrid souls you’re scared to death that despite what is happening now, you know that we are STILL capable of doing so. That’s what you people can’t comprehend. When it comes to us, it’s not a matter of “if” but “when”. And we are ALWAYS thinking about the latter because NO obstacles become complications for long when we’re around, NO success is pulled back from us when we draw close to it…..

Delilah then looks up and gives a giggle before looking back down at the camera again.

Delilah Hill: And there’s NO chance that you fools will avoid the inevitability in knowing your place beneath us when we do secure our dominion over Fusion.

As Brooke & Valentina nod their heads to acknowledge Delilah’s statement, Brooke begins to speak.

Brooke Cartwright: Regulators Inc, we’re not going to undermine what you’re capable of bringing to us tonight. You need to understand how meaningless it’s going to be against us. There is a reason why the three of us came together. There is a reason why we are the most talked about women in Fusion and, quite obviously, the most must-see in ALL of Zion. We can crush you on our looks, wealth, and social standing alone. But tonight, you’re going to succumb to us in another way we’re better than you in. And there's no limit as to how far we will go to destroy ANY hope for you in challenging for the titles that YOU'VE been busting YOUR asses to get and maybe secure it for ourselves, if we feel like it. And maybe, JUST maybe, after we are done with you two, pending if we allow you to have any strength left in you, you might be able to use your miniscule brains to will you two to grovel at our feet…because that’s just what inferiors do.

Then, while giving defiant smirks, Brooke, Delilah, & Valentina point their fingers down on the floor while keeping their eyes down on the camera.

Brooke Cartwright: Don’t call it a prediction. Do not call it a spoiler. Do not even call it a revelation. Just call it…

The ladies take a moment to look at each other and then look back down at the camera to speak in unison…

Brooke Cartwright, Delilah Hill, & Valentina Skye: …Pure, unadulterated fact!

Then, while the ladies continue to stand in position, the ladies simultaneously lift their other hands to snap their fingers, forcing the camera to go to black.

Adler scrambles to get up to her feet, kneeling against the ropes in order to support herself! But Skye is right back on her, running over Adler and hitting her with a Dropkick on the way out of the ring through the middle rope! Adler falters, with her head hanging over the middle rope! Skye takes to the apron, immediately pointing to Brooke Cartwright on the other side! The two run towards the center of the apron, meeting in the middle to hit Adler with dual Bicycle Kicks! Skye steps back into the ring, before tagging in Brooke Cartwright! Skye and Cartwright work together once again, with Skye pulling the top rope to send Cartwright over for a Slingshot Senton!

Kick out by Adler! Cartwright gets her up to her feet, looking to apply another devastating move, but Adler is having none of it! She swats Cartwright’s hands away before jumping up and catching her with a Single Knee Facebuster! Cartwright staggers back before leaning on the ropes! Adler takes advantage, running over to Cartwright and catching her with a High Knee against the ropes! She goes for an Irish Whip to capitalize, but Cartwright reverses, Irish Whipping Adler into the ropes instead! She returns to Cartwright, who’s caught completely unprepared as she levels her with a Running Big Boot! Cartwright scrambles to her feet and rushes after Adler, only to be met with a Back Body Drop from the Texan!

Adler is in a heap on the mat now as Cartwright gets her up to her feet, leathering her Kicks and Forearms to the side of the midsection and head! These shots eventually back Adler into the ropes, leaving an opening for Cartwright to Irish Whip her across the ring! This would work to her detriment however, with Sadie Cassidy managing to get the blind tag on Adler as she hits the ropes on the other side of the ring! Adler ducks underneath a Big Boot attempt by Cartwright, immediately turning around and catching her with a Legsweep as Cassidy flips over the top rope to hit a BUCKSHOT LARIAT!! Cartwright is down as Cassidy goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Pin broken up by Skye! Adler cuts in now, scooping Skye up and taking her to the mat with the RIO LOBO DRIVER!! QD3 CONNECTS!! Adler tries getting up, but Cartwright cuts her off with a CURBSTOMP!! Both Skye and Adler roll out of the ring, with Cartwright backing right into Cassidy, who attempts to get her in position for Frontier Justice! Cartwright pulls her weight forward, however, flipping to her feet in front of Cassidy before twisting her in position and taking her down with the FINAL TAKE!! SPINNING IMPALER CONNECTS!! Cartwright with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Trinity!

Cartwright and Skye celebrate with Delilah Hill! The three do the “Bend the Knee” gesture, before looking over to the ramp to see Aubrianna Powers standing on top of the stage! She looks at the three, arms folded, as we go to a commercial break!

WINNER: TRINITY (VIA PINFALL)

[Kai Morgan]

Backstage there is a backdrop with the Fusion logo on it with Maddi McNeail standing in front of it. She has on her ring gear already, her lovely tassel jacket in her hand as she grins at the camera, obviously excited about her match coming up shortly.

Maddi McNeil: The devil doesn't believe in magic? I don't believe that at all but this girl who claims to be the Devil of Chaos said that to me when I said I'm magic. But the devil isn't real either... News flash. Also if the devil was real then what is it they said... Oh yeah, the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing everyone he wasn't real. So by claiming you are a devil really just makes you seem like an edge lord looking for attention. Sorry... Not sorry.

Maddi McNeil: While you may not be a devil you are an extremely talented wrestler and I won't deny that ever. I know you're tough and you are gonna have some crazy tricks ready for me that I may not be ready for. In fact I look forward to those because facing new challenges is the best way to learn and grow in this business.

Maddi McNeil: Yet you are overlooking me and saying I'm just a rookie? I'm not just some rookie though. I'm a twenty year old that was signed by Zion because they knew my protentional and they knew I could be a pretty darn big deal in this company. Overlooking me is just silly and I promise you that if you do it in the ring then I'm gonna get the win because while I may not be the most experienced I'm determined and I have trained with some great stars to get to where I am at now.

Maddi McNeil: When we get in that ring tonight though I'll just prove you wrong that I'm not a pushover. I'll show you that I may be young and not the most experienced but that isn't always what matters. I'm going to get my second win tonight and I'm not letting some goofy devil chick stop me. Plus I don't care what you say because tonight you'll see that Maddi magic first hand.

Maddi winks at the camera before lifting up her tiara and setting it on her head. Maddi then turns and heads off camera, heading into position to head to the ring for the start of her second Zion Wrestling match!



Maki Megumi is preparing for her next match. But in the meantime, Meliana Rodrigo walks in but she has the reluctance to approach someone like Maki because there is no way of knowing what will happen… Maki Megumi tilted her head and looked at Meliana with a frightening smile. Meliana slowly stepped closer to the Devil of Chaos Maki Megumi.

Maki Megumi: Are you afraid? Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. It's not difficult to just come in for an interview, right? Do your job.

Meliana walked in with a worried expression as she slowly walked towards Maki Megumi before she took a deep breath. and began to ask her questions.

Meliana Rodrigo: Last week someone came to help you, many of whom said you were a cheater, what are your thoughts on this match?

Maki Megumi: Does anyone care? Is victory really a victory? No one should have doubted my victory, because Hunter wasn't careful, that was my fault? Is that the fault of the person who came to help me? It's all Hunter's fault, and I've been told it just won't matter, I won, that's the end of the match. Does anyone care who the loser is? If someone else wins, no one will doubt, right? But when it comes to me, everyone seems to have a problem, but you know what? Who cares? Who cares if Hunter Werth can beat me? I'm the winner, that's the most important thing. Well, Hunter, I'm telling you no one remembers a loser like you, it doesn't matter how close you win. In the end, you made a mistake and you couldn't beat me. We should stop talking about what has passed. I don't care if anyone tells me I'm a liar. I just want to win. Unfortunately Hunter was almost the winner but nothing can change the fact that I am the winner of the match. This is how the hunter survives. I do everything for the win, not the admiration. I do everything to succeed and I can. And I will continue to win. I'll do whatever I can, even if anyone says I'm a cheater, but who cares? Should I be interested in people who don't do anything for me? I'm like this because I'm not one of those idiots. So there's nothing I need to worry about. Don't cry because I didn't give you what you wanted. Don't cry just 'cause I don't mind doing shit like that. Because I'm tired of being the kind of person who does what a lot of people want. Yes, I'm bad, but this is who I am. I am a devil and this is the freedom of being a devil like me. I can do whatever I want to do without waiting for anyone's instructions.

Meliana Rodrigo: Is there anything to say about your opponent today? And on Monday night, what did you do at Mayhem and what was the goal that you did that for?

Maki Megumi: Maddi McNeil? That girl trying to act brave to face me on twitter? I'm going to tell you that little girls aren't ready to face the devil like me. Challenging me is not a good idea. And today will be Maddi McNeil's lesson not to make the same mistakes. Magical girl is about to face the worst nightmare of her life and believe me, she's not ready for me. She jokes about me too much. Do it to get attention? Watch out, it will turn into your own regret, Maddi won't be able to miraculously save you from this match. So after tonight's match I hope you will learn from your own mistakes little girl. I warned you And what happened at Mayhem? What the fuck happened to Nami Megumi? I don't want to see that little bird as a champion anymore. Why would anyone expect a weak person like that to be everyone's champion here? I just want to see the best from that little bird but at Nami right now? Well, that's not my sister that I know. You guys just know you from what you want them to see, but who knows my sister better than me? No one knows the true identity of Nami Megumi, but I will once again bring out the best of her. Believe that what I do is the best. When she's at her strongest I let her hold what she wants. She is still my sister. There's no way she can escape from me. I might be a bad sister to all of you. But that's not my problem. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. And by that day you guys will know what I'm talking about. She is still my sister. There's no way you can escape from me. I might be a bad older sister to all of you. But that's not my problem. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. And when that day comes you'll know what I'm talking about. I'll show you something. I don't care if they like it or not. But it's something that no one can avoid. I enjoyed torturing that little bird. I enjoyed seeing something break down. I felt something was going to happen, it was coming.

Meliana Rodrigo: After the match between you and "The Osaka Devil" Yukiko Kusanagi was announced that you two will face each other at Battleborn. How are you ready for this match? And is there anything you want to say about your opponent?

After hearing all the questions, Maki Megumi just let out a laugh before slowly getting up and walking towards Meliana Rodrigo. As Maki approached Meliana, backing away until she couldn't escape, Maki brought her face closer to Meliana until she heard a sound of her breath. Even Meliana's breath was already terrified to the extreme, Maki slowly smiled terrifyingly.

Maki Megumi: Huh? Say you're the devil of Zion Wrestling? Unfortunately, there are already devils like me. You're trying to say you're The Osaka Devil, so prove you can survive The Devil of Chaos at Battleborn. The only way you can stay is under my feet when I'm standing on your head. I don't care if you've been through more fights in America than me. But only one devil will be able to walk out of the match with victory. Do you think you can beat me at Battleborn? Too bad it probably won't happen. Kusanagi-San, you think you're stronger than me? Here I've been through a lot more than you. The experience you have won't work for me. Kusanagi-San, I am the strongest Megumi that matters. You see what I've done. I'm ready to do things that many people don't want to do. I am ready to do what many people hate. But I only want to be a winner, there's nothing I want more than that. That's why The Devil of Chaos, like me, is so strong. I just started something and even you can't stop me. Kusanagi-San and this is America. If we spoke Japanese it wouldn't be fair to anyone here. We should speak in English. But anyway, whatever language you speak, that's not the point for me. I will defeat you and that's all I need at Battleborn. Don't be disappointed if you can't beat me. 'Cause I'm taking everything away from you at Battleborn, you might be so embarrassed that you can't even call yourself a devil anymore. Kusanagi-San, I am your unexpected danger-..

But before Maki could finish her sentence, an uninvited visitor stood looking at her and Meliana Rodrigo, "The Osaka Devil" Yukiko Kusanagi. The crowd watching from the arena, seeing this on the tron, responds appropriately with a sort of “Ooooooooh” sound as Maki Megumi and Yukiko Kusanagi find themselves face to face for the first time. Yukiko’s pale eyes stare directly back right at Maki, unflinchingly. We can’t see her full facial expression because she has her mask on. “The Osaka Devil” slowly tilts her head, furrowing her brow at “The Devil of Chaos”.

Yukiko Kusanagi: Nani?

Yukiko speaks softly, almost sweetly as she inches closer to Maki. Maki doesn’t budge an inch. It’s obvious she isn’t afraid of Zion’s new arrival. Still, Yukiko stands right up in her face and looks her over.

Yukiko Kusanagi: How considerate of you, Megumi-san. You are right. It would be the polite thing to do. So let us speak so everyone can understand us.

For a brief moment, Yukiko’s eyes flicker to Meliana Rodrigo. Then, they flicker to the camera. Finally, the flicker right back to Maki. Yukiko reached up and runs a thumb, gently over Maki’s cheek in an odd, almost creepy way. We can tell from the way Yukiko’s eyes squint, she’s smiling under her mask.

Yukiko Kusanagi: Talk is boring. I will see you at Battleborn, Megumi-san. There…I only want you…to scream for me. Can you do that, Megumi-san? Can you scream for me? You can…and you will. We will scream together, Megumi-san.

Yukiko reaches out to stroke Maki’s hair but The Devil of Chaos swats her hand away. The Osaka Devil giggles and steps around Maki, continuing her way through the arena. Maki watches her go, silently, as the shot fades away.



Match #4: Maddi McNeil vs Maki Megumi

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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Portland, Oregon…weighing in at 112 lbs…Maddi! McNeil!

And her opponent…from Okinawa, Japan…weighing in at 110 lbs…”The Devil of Chaos”...Maki! Megumi!



As the bell rings, Maddie storms out of her corner and Maki immediately rolls out of the ring, chiding the official because she’s, Maki: “Not ready yet!” The official, unimpressed, just begins a count. Maddie shrugs and returns to her corner, climbing the turnbuckles and sitting on the ringpost as she waits. The fact Maddie doesn’t rush at the ropes or even come after her seems to annoy Maki more.

Slowly, as the referee gets to five, Maki climbs the ringskirt and angrily points at Maddie as if to say, “Don’t you dare come at me!” Maddie responds with an exaggerated cartoonish yawn that gets the fans to laugh. Maki turns to the fans and demands they shut up. As she does, Maddie hops from her perch and runs across the ring. Maki turns just in time to catch Maddie diving between the ropes into her, sending them both outside the ring.

Both women soar past the ring, with Maki’s body acting as a buffer for Maddie when they slam into the barricades. Maki looks horrified at this attack – it was obviously her plan to sneak attack Maddie after goading her, not the other way around. Maddie stands, grabbing her opponent by the scruff of the neck and dragging her back to the ring. She roughly tosses Maki under the ropes and follows soon after.

Maki is almost immediately back up on her feet, trying to get away. Maddie grabs her wrist and the Devil’s Laugh responds by sending a roundhouse kick towards Maddie’s head. McNeil ducks it successfully and pushes Maki over, letting her land on her back. Again, the fans love it and Maki’s face grows redder and redder.

Maddie stoops over Maki, preparing to pull her to her feet. Maki scowls up at Maddie and sends a boot up between her legs.

The official immediately runs over and scolds Maki about low blows, warning her she’ll get disqualified. Maki gets up and points to Maddie, who now barely stands on wobbly legs and only with the aid of grabbing the ropes, swearing she didn’t lowblow her. She turns and kicks Maddie in the thigh, and turns back to the referee, swearing that’s what she did. When he counters it was a lowblow, Maki turns again and kicks Maddie in the thigh and then in the crotch, demanding he recognize the difference and she obviously kicked Maddie in the thigh.

Maki, exasperated at the official, turns to Maddie. She’s greeted with a hand around her throat as McNeil angrily lifts and chokeslams her to the mat. Maki scampers to get up to her feet only to be met with a super kick as she gets up, toppling backwards again.

Already tired of this match, Maddie rolls Maki up for a pin.

One…

T--

Maki kicks out, pulling herself away and demanding the referee scold Maddie for grabbing tights.

The referee stares at Maki, but secretly yearns for a drink. Eventually, he does turn to Maddie and remind her not to grab tights. As he does, Maki launches herself at Maddie, clotheslining her to the mat. The referee, realizing he was used, turns a bright red.

Maki immediately gets behind Maddie, locking in a sleeperhold and commences to shit-talk her as best she can. She also does her best to make it hard for the referee to check the hold or on Maddie, jerking her side to side. Maddie, pries at the arms around her neck, trying to pull in as much air as she can and trying to assure the referee she does not submit.

Eventually, Maddie gets to her feet, pulling Maki with her. She sends an elbow into Maki’s midriff, followed by a second. Maki, realizing the hold will soon be lost, releases it while sticking a leg between McNeil’s. Grabbing Maddie by the back of her head, Maki slams Maddie back to the mat. Maddie hits canvas but any pain she feels is lost in the pure rage on her face.

Maki raises a boot, bringing the heel down on the spot where Maddie’s head is – or should be. Instead, Maddie rolls aside, hops up, and slams her right first across Maki’s jaw. Maki spirals, landing in a corner, stunned by the attack.

Maddie wastes no time and leaps on Maki, angrily slamming punch after punch into Maki’s face. The referee nervously counts to five and, realizing Maddie isn’t stopping, pushes himself between the two women. Maki touches her nose and pulls her hand away to see dapples of red. She immediately mouths something that will have to be censored on Japanese broadcasts of Fusion.

Maki angrily shoves the referee into Maddie, screaming a string of insults as she does. Maddie and the official spill to the mat. Maki leaps onto Maddie, throwing her own punches. In seconds, it looks more and more like a barroom brawl. Both women rise, exchanging punch for punch. Finally, Maki throws a right Maddie deftly ducks. McNeil grabs Maki around the waist and throws her backwards to the mat, leaving her in a crumpled head on her upper back.

Maki rolls out and sits up, obviously in pain. The pain is increased when Maddie lands in her chest with both knees, flattening her out again. Maddie stands and angrily stomps on Maki’s chest as she does before heading to the closest corner.

As Maki, woozy, gets up, she turns to look for her foe. She sees Maddie, who’s scaled the ringpost and launches at her. With a diving crossbody, Maddie slams Maki to the mat and pins her.

One…

Tw--

Maki bucks free again, spouting unintelligible sounds of rage as she does. Maddie looms over Maki to pull her up but instead gets an eye gouge/rake combo. Maddie pulls away, clutching her eyes. She feels the mat shake as Maki gets up, then feels Maki’s hand on her arm. Maddie strikes out wildly, missing her mark. Instead, she’s met with a ripcord knee strike that throws her back. Before she can get too far, though, Maki grabs Maddie and yanks her back before sending her over and to the mat in an exploder suplex.

The fans do not hesitate to share their displeasure at the change of fortunes. Maki only smiles at them and offers two middle fingers.

Maddie begins to get to her feet when Maki jumps on her back and pulls her into a camel clutch, fishhooking her mouth in the process. The referee again checks for submission. Maddie does her best to deny this through strain and pain, while Maki is obviously loving every second of the situation. She even leans back further, going to hurt Maddie’s lower back as badly as possible.

Finally, after a minute more of this, Maki palms the back of Maddie’s head and slams her face to the mat, laughing maniacally as she does. She stands and strides around the ring, arms raised like she’s already won, not paying attention to Maddie.

Maddie palms the mat and slowly pushes up, her eyes wild with fury and hate. This is no longer a wrestling match. It’s an insult she has to answer and violently as possible.

Maki climbs the turnbuckles to hold court over the booing masses, not realizing Maddie is right behind her. McNeil grabs her opponent’s legs and yanks them from underneath her. Maki falls, the bottom of her jaw colliding with the top of the ringpost. Fans scream in shock and relief whereas Maki can only cradle her jaw and, to the relief of everyone but her, be silent.

Maddie drives a knee into Maki’s stomach, folding her like a napkin. Pulling Maki’s head between her thighs, Maddie hoists the woman up for a piledriver before introducing her to the mat. Maki’s body goes limp as she falls to the side, but Maddie looks far from done with the whole affair.

Maddie backs up, letting Maki slowly rise, only to meet her with an enzuigiri. Maki goes down like a sack of potatoes. Maddie smirks as she goes for a cover.

One…

Two…

Thr--

Maddie looks up, confused. The referee points to Maki’s boot, which is on the bottom rope. Maddie does not seem bothered, however. More time to hurt Maki. She stretches out Maki’s leg, stands, and delivers an elbow drop to the woman’s thigh that instantly wakes her up. Maki immediately screams about low blows.

The referee rubs her eyes and sighs.

Maddie pulls Maki up and knife edge chops the woman across the chest. Maki howls angrily. McNeil only smiles bigger, pulling Maki by the arm and spinning her around. As she does, the referee attempts to maneuver out of the way – and unfortunately puts himself in the path Maddie launches her victim in.

Maki flails, slamming into the official and knocking him over. The referee’s head slams against the top of the ringpost and he falls uselessly to the mat. As Maki turns to scream at him for not watching where she’s going, Maddie grabs her around the waist and suplexes her, holding Maki to the mat in a pin.

Realizing the official isn’t counting, Maddie releases her captive and goes to the referee. Seeing he’s only barely responsive, she stoops to examine him and see if she can help. As she expresses her concern, a masked individual – the same from last week’s Fusion – runs up to the ring and rolls under the ropes. They zoom towards Maddie, putting a boot against the back of her skull and slamming her face into the turnbuckle.

Grabbing Maddie around the waist, the hoist and throw her over, letting her land in a heap on the mat. Maki slowly gets to her feet, seeing the scene before her and putting two and two together. As the masked assailant begins to kick Maddie over and over in the face and side of the head Maki bounces and cheers, even running over to throw a few stomps in herself.

The referee slowly stirs, catching Maki’s attention. Maki turns to her surprise helper and urges them to go. The assailant rushes from the ring and back up the aisle to the entrance while Maki shrieks for the referee too look. He slowly turns to her as she places a proud boot on Maddie’s chest and demands a count.

One…

Two…

Three!

The bell rings but is barely audible over the boos of the fans.



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Maki! Megumi!

Maki gets up, still a bit confused over the nature of her win tonight! She nonetheless decides to get cocky, mocking McNeil in her native Japanese language as she celebrates! She turns around, only to be met with a Double Leg Takedown from…NAMI MEGUMI!! Maki’s sister has crossed over to the blue brand to take vengeance for her sister’s actions from earlier in the week! She mounts Maki and wails on her with a set of heavy Forearms to the head, before eventually, and unintentionally, leaving an opening for her to wiggle free! She slips away, rolling out of the ring before hopping the barricade to escape her sister’s wrath! But Nami is in hot pursuit, chasing Maki through the crowd as we fade out!

WINNER: MAKI MEGUMI (VIA PINFALL)



The scene comes up backstage showing Rayola back in her regular clothes and freshly showered as she leaves the main locker room. She starts down the hall with her gear bag when she is stopped by Melania Rodrigo.

Meliana Rodrigo: Rayola, after an impressive win over Hunter Werth, where do you think you stand with the Elimination Chamber at BattleBorn next week?

Rayola Davine: You know, it’s kind of an interesting feeling. I’ve been here a month and so far I’ve helped Zion show that we are a serious fucking business and that bigger, more established companies shouldn’t fuck with us, I took care of business a few weeks back and put away Zoey Styles. I dealt with Hunter Werth tonight. Basically, I’m on the biggest roll of my career and considering who I ran with, that’s saying more than you might think.

Rayola shifts as she sets down her gear bag for a moment.

Rayola Davine: Let me put this another way for those who haven’t been paying attention. For the majority of my career so far, I dedicated to a group that I didn’t know at all apparently. I thought I knew whom I was speaking for and wasn’t even speaking for myself. Thought I was flying when I was barely being a goddamn Flappy Bird. But I’m finally standing on my own now. Everything that I did, starting with Invasion, I did for me, and only me for once.

Meliana Rodrigo: So are you only out for number one now?

Rayola Davine: No. The one good thing that I was taught is that you always put on a show for the fans. I may be doing this for me, but I will make sure the fans get every little bit of action out of me that I can give them. Honestly, though, it isn’t my fault if so far, I haven’t faced a challenge appropriate to me.

Meliana Rodrigo: And what about Minka Carter?

Rayola sighs and rolls her eyes as she looks at Meliana without expression.

Rayola Davine: What about her?

Meliana Rodrigo: It seems she has something in store for you and she earned her spot in the Elimination Chamber.

Rayola remains expressionless for a little bit until a grin starts to spread across her face.

Rayola Davine: But I’m not the one she needs to beat, nor am I the only one in that match. She is choosing a big bad fight… for what exactly? Pick on the new girl? Establish the hierarchy here, as if I gave a shit? Minka’s bullshit vendetta is gonna have to wait. It can wait, in fact, until I have the World championship over my shoulder. Then she can try and talk about talking about being a big shot. She’s got her title.

Rayola leans over and pulls the GCW X-Division championship from her bag.

Rayola Davine: And I’ve got mine. So no, I’m not impressed and I’m not scared or worried about Minka Carter. She’s just another opponent in that Chamber next week, just like four others will be, including and especially Daria Dorsey. If she were the veteran she claimed to be, she’d be more worried about her. Or people like Cherry and Thora who’ve een chomping at the bit for longer than me. Not to mention Mr. Riggs who earned his spot same as her.

Rayola laughs as she shoulders the X-Division title.

Rayola Davine: Six people are walking in to the Elimination Chamber next week. I promise you, one Angel is flying out of there, with the World Heavyweight championship. Meliana, watch me fly!

Rayola picks up her bag and winks at Meliana who nods at Rayola in return. Rayola walks off as the camera watches her leave. As she does, a black feather falls from behind Rayola, from under her jacket. The camera watches as the feather lightly settles before the scene fades out.


In the cover of a black screen, the voice of Ravyn Nightshade provides the soundtrack.

“Have you Ever Danced With The Devil In The Pale Moonlight?”

Just then, the camera comes out of black and into a close-up image of fire. The camera pulls back to reveal fire coming out of a trash can on the roof of a building at night where Ravyn her sister Olivia Nightshade, better known as Code Black, are shown taking rest on the picnic table. Ravyn is sitting on the bench while Olivia is comfortably sitting on the table with the camera focusing on them in a semi-low angle. The ladies are shown clapping their hands in gratitude, which is quite unusual given who they are. However, the gesture was strictly sincere and with loads of purpose.

Ravyn Nightshade: Amara (Sterling) & Lynn (D’agosto). Congratulations. You know where we come from, there are two kinds of people. You have the ego wankers and then you have the ego whackers; those who talk shit just to act like they’re a big deal and then there are those who goes balls to the wall and just do shit to make a point. And you two….BIG BLOODY BALLS you have! And because of that, we see you. Walking around Fusion looking like two S & M groupies, running your mouths talking about how badass you are and how you’re going to “take over” the tag team division. But here’s where you went different. The law of our jungle is when you want to make a name for yourself in someone else’s territory, you have to go after the biggest dog in the yard and slap them in the face. And last week, you did just that. It’s because of you, we will NOT be challenging the Valkyries to get our World Tag Team Titles back…you two. Absolute badass Goddesses! Kudos, bitches!

You better be listening to your conscience as you’re probably relishing your delusions over us licking your boots. Because where you believe you were justified when you have made a bold statement at our expense, the reality is that you’ve DONE FUCKED UP…..

As Ravyn was about to finish her sentence, the frustration grows, with her growing impatient by the minute. Olivia places her hand upon Ravyn’s shoulder, attempting to calm her down. Ravyn sees the gesture and realizes that her sister would like to say something. She acknowledges it and lets her take the floor as Olivia speaks.

Olivia Nightshade: For as long as we’ve been in Fusion, no matter what we’ve done to get ahead, time and time again we were looked upon as monsters, bullies, and villains. It was then that we realized….why hide who we are because THAT’S who we fucking are!? And why diminish what we do best!? WE run this tag team division! Fusion, Mayhem, Zion Wrestling, it’s OUR boots that everyone licks around here! And the ONLY thing that you two achieved by attacking us and denying us an opportunity at those tag titles is become OUR next victims!

Olivia pounds her fists against her hands and cracks her knuckles to drive her point across while Ravyn nods in approval.

Ravyn Nightshade: Simply put, bitches, we had our plan set up and you two stepped up and fucked it up! You cosplay bad girls have opened up Pandora’s box and all the chaos, mayhem, and sadistic intentions the two of us have within us has been blown wide open. The time will come when you two will receive your penance in full force....when we annihilate every inch of you, not to mention the bloody fun we’re going to have doing it. And here’s the kicker “VAMPS”….you’re going to thank us for it!

Olivia hops off the table so she can stand in front of the camera. She moves toward it and brings it up to her face, allowing it to just capture her intimidating stare.

Olivia Nightshade: TIME TO PLAY!!!!!!

Olivia throws the camera down on the floor and kicks it, causing it to go to static.



Match #5: Jordan Majors vs Portia Chevelle



Portia puts out a fist as the bell rings and Jordan meets her with a fist bump. The crowd cheers a bit as they back up and then Portia runs at her and Jordan catches her with a powerslam! Portia scrambles to her feet and Jordan hits a European uppercut! The Viral Champion grabs Portia and whips her across the ring and into the corner. Portia slams into the corner and bounces off and Jordan lands a superkick that makes her crumple into the corner.

Jordan turns and slaps her backside before spinning around and running into the corner for the Donk Bonk! The running hip attack! Portia crawls out of the corner and tries to get to her feet. As she does, Jordan runs in and plants her with Chapter 11! A double knee facebreaker! Jordan points to the corner and nods as she goes up top. Jordan turns around and launches off backward. MONEY DROP! Moonsault double stomp! Jordan pins the motionless Portia!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Jordan! Majors!

Jordan stands and the official raises her hand as the crowd cheers. The referee asks for the Viral Championship belt as the crowd reacts. Mai Blackman slides in behind Jordan and runs to club her in the back of the head. Jordan ducks down and Mai runs into the ropes. She turns around into a CASH OUT! The jumping cutter from Majors! Mai rolls out of the ring holding her face and Jordan runs to the ropes. She flies out at Mai with a suicide dive! Mai stumbles forward and falls over the top of the barricade into the crowd.

Jordan leans over the barricade as Mai crawls into the aisle and struggles to her feet. They stare each other down and Mai signals at her waist. Jordan turns around and grabs the Viral Championship from the rope and holds it up near the barricade. They jaw back and forth as Mai works her way to the back.

WINNER: JORDAN MAJORS (VIA PINFALL)



Fusion cuts to Minka Carter who is in both an amused and a confident mood. She has every reason to feel good considering that she did manage to win her first match back and considering what is coming up ahead for her. That confidence is just pouring through her as she begins to express her thoughts.

Minka Carter: It comes as ZERO surprise that I made a successful return to ZION wrestling. Like I mentioned last week, I left because I had to be better prepared. It may have been JUST Benito Wallace, but we all have to start somewhere, right? I do hope that Rayola Divine was watching that because she doesn’t seem to be talking about me too much. Hmm, I wonder if she is not seeing me as a threat. If so, then that’s a mistake that she’s making that COULD cost her in the end. Then again, considering who I am facing next, maybe she should pay EXTRA ATTENTION to this match. After all, I am only facing her FORMER LOVER…

Yeah, I know ALL about that affair, Zachary Porter. Personally? I don’t hold a grudge against you. I don’t see anything wrong with you personally. I mean, a man has to do what a man has to do, right? You’re definitely worthy of being in the main event spotlight and you are one of the few in this company that I can actually provide that sort of ‘props’ for. But, the fact of the matter is, you’re the guy that’s been around long enough and that has been talked about as a future main event player and a world champion and yet, hasn’t been able to take that final step. Why is that? I mean, you’ve shown flashes of brilliance here and there from what I know of you and yet… the last time I saw you wrestle, you were at Arrival losing to Emmanuelle.

Save me the Kasey Kash nonsense. With me, you don’t get to make that fucking excuse. At least when I lost to Legion… twice… I chalked it up to just not being ready. That’s no excuse. That’s owning up and taking responsibility. You? I don’t know what it is about you that I CAN say. I mean, in the ring you’ve done pretty decent here… and some people over in NFW refer to you as the ‘man that killed TRIOCS’.

First off, what the fuck is a TRIOCS

Secondly, why should I give a fuck?

Minka pauses and gives off a bit of a scoff.

Minka Carter: You were the sole survivor in a main event tag team elimination match at Invasion and you expect me to be IMPRESSED? How the fuck do you expect me to be impressed when I don’t even know who the hell the team captain of the other team was? I mean WOW, you led Zion to victory over a team led by a complete and total nobody. AND? I’m a WORLD CHAMPION now, Zachary. I came back to ZION to accomplish that unfinished business. You may talk a bunch of crap about me and the fact that I left before, you might even talk crap about the fact that I lost to Legion or whatever you want to pull out of your ass, but the fact of the matter is, I DID come back. I didn’t choke and fuck off to never return the way the likes of Serena Riot and Salem Cartier did. You’re not prepared for someone like me. Hell, when it comes to the big picture and when it comes to being a main eventer in this business, you’re not a wrestler that has shown that level of main event consistency yet and you’re NOT going to use me as a stepping stone tonight. On the CONTRARY, when this match is over I am going to show you why on the measuring stick, you’re always the one person on this roster that is coming up JUST a little bit short when it matters the most… which… you know, Ashlynn would know ALL about that since she clearly is the better wrestler of you two and clearly wears the pants as a result. Hey, at least if I submit you with the Holy Clutch tonight, being a SUB to a woman is something you’re used to anyway. I’m pretty sure Rayola knows all about that too…

Minka delivers a wink and a chuckle at her own jabs before she departs from the scene and the scene fades to black.



The camera comes back to the ring where we see Christina Olson standing there by herself, holding one half of the Fusion Tag Team Titles. She has a somber look on her face as the camera zooms in on her and she brings the microphone up to her mouth.

Christina Olson: I’m sure y’all know why the fuck I’m out here judgin by the lack of my cute, tiny, tag team partner by my side. It ain’t no secret now that Lil ain’t exactly Lil right now and the dark side of her personality has taken hold. Now, I know we were supposed to be defendin these tag titles at BattleBorn, and hell, I woulda taken it on by myself cause I’m hard headed as fuck and that’s the sorta thing I’m prone to do.

Christina begins to pace around the ring a little bit now, adjusting the title on her shoulder before continuing.

Christina Olson: But, I’m sure as y’all know too by now, I ain’t got no friends anymore in these parts watchin my back. I’m on my own and a couple of weeks ago, that was made apparent when I got my ass beat over on NFW Collision. It was clear as day to me that nobody ever actually gave a damn about me, but hey, that’s the past and now, I’m lookin forward to the future. That future is me breakin out on my own, forging my own path while I try and get Lil back to me. It’s gonna suck, I’m sure, but right now, I gotta do what’s right for this brand and this company.

Chrisitna takes her title and lays it on the mat, stepping back from it.

Christina Olson: As of this moment, the World Tag Titles are officially vacant and I’m movin on to singles competition here on the blue brand. I have my eyes set on gold, so all the champions, y’all better be ready, because I’m comin for ya.

Christina drops the mic and steps out of the ring and heads up the ramp as the camera cuts out.



We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Diamond Steele. She has a smug and cocky grin on her lips as she looks right into the lens of the camera. She isn’t alone as she is joined together by Ruby, Emerald, and of course Sapphire making up the entire GemStones. Diamond is actually showing off as he is holding two championships over her shoulders. One title is blurred out as Diamond proudly shows off the You Tube Champion.

Diamond: Bloody fucking hell… Can I just say that it feels so amazing to be here tonight?! If you didn’t notice I now have another piece of hardware over my shoulder and it just so happens to be the SRW Conquest Champion… I guess what I really want to say is that I am a champ champ. I am a top notch athlete. I am one of the best women wrestlers on the planet and nobody can touch me.

Ruby smiles as she nods her head in agreement.

Ruby: That’s right… My cousin is simply OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Diamond: I mean, who in this company can even touch me?! There’s a reason why I just went out there and beat Razzle Mars. It’s because I am the woman who shines brighter than anybody else. I am the woman who can tap anybody out in this company and I am the best thing on Youtube. So who will dare try to rise up to challenge the champ champ?! Who thinks they can even be in the ring with me?!

All of the gems look at Diamond as they shake their heads in disgust.

Diamond: I know for a fact nobody is going to say Lily because let’s be honest. Lily sucks… She’s not worthy of being in the same ring with me. When I defended my title against her I made sure I walked away because she isn’t worth my time. How many times do I have to constantly beat this Bitch?!

Sapphire: Too many too count.

Emerald: She’s not on your level.

Ruby: She doesn’t compare to being a Gem.

Diamond: Exactly… I am 18 carats of pure awesomeness. I am the highlight of the entire show. I am the Shining Star, the sparkling sensation, the sadistic siren, the mistress of the microphone, and the conqueror of catch wrestling. She isn’t worth the time nor the effort. This company can put on whatever stipulation they want on this match but it still won’t change the fact that I know I am better than her even on her best day compared to my worst day. I am going to tap her ass out and I will still walk away as your YouTube Champion.

Diamond grins as she begins to walk away.

Diamond: Now I can sit here and constantly talk myself up all day but I have better things to do. Cheers and enjoy the rest of the show. I already know for a fact that with me being here right now ratings just went through the freaking roof!

The Gems all leave as we go elsewhere.

Carter sits up on the mat, leaving an opening for Porter to get a deep Rear Chinlock in on her!

Porter slides around Carter as she tries to make it to her feet, getting a Side Headlock on her as she’s on her hands and knees on the mat!

This works perfectly to Porter’s advantage as he rushes in and hits Carter with a Knife Edge Chop!

Carter reacts just about the same, looking as though she’s just been hit with a gunshot as she falls to a seated position in the corner! Porter takes advantage once again, rushing over from the opposite corner to hit Carter with a Facewash! Carter is out of it once again, with her head hanging on the bottom rope! Porter now plots a scheme of revenge, grabbing Carter by the arms and pulling her up against the ropes with a Bow and Arrow Stretch!

Without even looking at her, Carter spins around, looking to catch Legion off guard with the Demon Stake! Right before she touches her however, the lights go back out!

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Zachary! Porter!

Porter sits beside the fallen Carter, taking in a deep breath before rolling out of the ring! He backs up to the ramp, taking in the positive reception from the fans as he looks towards the neon Destiny sign hung in the Star Factory Arena, he points to it, now feeling worthy of his World Title Match now that he’s redeemed his loss from two weeks ago! Just then, something whacks him on the back! He falls on the stage, revealing Kasey Kash as the attacker with his trusty gusset plate lined cricket bat named Sheila! He looks down on the fallen Porter, raising the bat over his head once more before whacking him across the back with it! He drops Sheila at Porter’s side, grabbing him by the hair and pulling his head up to face that same Destiny sign! He points to it now, symbolically telling him that his World Title opportunity belongs to him!

WINNER: ZACHARY PORTER (VIA PINFALL)



We cut backstage now as Nami and Maki Megumi are still fighting! The two are trading strikes as security swarms to try and break them up! Maki sprays Green Mist in the faces of the guards trying to hold her back before throwing one of them through an equipment box and nailing the other with a Codebreaker! She runs over to Nami, hitting her with a Spear before nailing her with strike after strike to the top of the head! Nami eventually pushes her off however, barraging her with a Superkick that sends her tumbling out a set of double doors and into the parking area! She stares down Maki as she starts to get to her knees, her eyes full of bloodlust! She’s about to finish off her sister, before being caught with a Big Boot by the large masked man who’s been helping Maki through the weeks! Nami is stunned on the concrete ground of the parking lot, a far off look in her eyes as the shot has rocked her hard!

The masked man gets Nami to her feet, before rushing her over to one of the cars in the lot and throwing her into the windshield, breaking the glass with her back!

Nami falls to the ground of the parking area, with medics quickly surrounding her to check on her! Maki looks down on Nami, somewhat confused, yet also a tad bit concerned as she ultimately scurries away! We fade to black to end the show as the medical staff try to carry Nami away.
