Zion Wrestling Presents: Mayhem Episode 28!!

[Kai Morgan]

We cut off from the video package as the second verse of Waterparks’ “Tantrum” echoes throughout the Zion Wrestling Star Factory Arena!

Match #1: Play Dead vs Summer Page and Elijah Copeland

"Slow down your heartbeat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Plaaaay dead, play dead with me (A.V.)"

A new song plays over the PA speaker as out walk Faye Brown in her Buffalo Bills gear, and her husband Logan Bailey in his Georgia Tech gear to the Avelino x Raf Riley Remix of "Play Dead" by Tom Walker. The Blazenwing Tag Team Championship shines from Bailey's shoulder, which Logan beckons over a camera for.

Logan Bailey: "Hey look, something the Privileged Elite'll never have!"

Logan plants a kiss on his tag title as he and Faye begin their march to the ring.

Vivian Blake: "The following tag team contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 291 pounds, the team of The Animated Maniac Logan Bailey and The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow Faye Brown... PLAAAAAAY DEAD!"

Bailey and Brown slap high-fives along the way down, though Faye slaps a noticeable amount more than Logan simply because Faye's the more notable wrestler between the two. The two get to ringside, and Logan apparently brings up that disparity, to which Faye just shrugs before rolling into the ring. Bailey follows, dropping the subject as the theme circles back to it's chorus. The couple climb opposite turnbuckles and do the exact same wingspan pose.

"No need to escape
We can find our own way
You got me hiding in cupboards
Plaaaay dead, play dead with me..."

Play Dead dismount the turnbuckles and meet back in one neutral corner, before they both grab a mic and "Play Dead" fades out.

Faye Brown: "Logan decided that was our song after we got married, and you know? I think I'm warming up to it."

This gets a big "OH YEAAAAH!" out of Logan, complete with a fist pump.

Logan Bailey: "Do you slapdick motherfuckers have a song? Huh, Summer? Huh, Elijah?"

Faye Brown: "All right, don't rub it in."

Bailey holds his hands up, backing off.

Faye Brown: "Last week, I beat Elijah Copeland, my title rematch stayed in tact, and almost everything was cool, calm, and copacetic. Well... other than Angel Kash still being the Zion Champion and Summer Page clocking me in the back of the head with that fucking Chance Briefcase..."

Logan Bailey: "I think we'd both like to forget about that thing."

Faye Brown: "Sure 'nough."

Logan Bailey: "And then I check on you, just to get my jaw cracked by Elijah and his size 9."

Faye Brown: "Mhm. Hence why you're in gear."

Logan Bailey: "Yep. Some-one's got some paaay-baaack comin'."

Faye Brown: "A couple's come along and it's burstin' their bubble."

Logan Bailey: "Yeah yeah!"

Brown shrugs.

Faye Brown: "So I guess y'all fine folks get a second bonus siege match."

Logan Bailey: "With 100% more Logan added to this one."

Faye Brown: "Sure 'nough."

Bailey wears a bit of a confused look on his face.

Logan Bailey: "...why do you keep saying that?"

Faye Brown: "Saying what?"

Logan Bailey: "Why do you keep saying sure enough like that?"

Faye Brown: "I dunno, it's just kinda the first thing that comes to mind."

Logan Bailey: "Eh, fair enough. Let's just kick Summer and Elijah's asses, yeah?"

With a smirk, The Killshot Kid raises her microphone one last time.

Faye Brown: "Sure 'nough."

Logan mouths "god damn it" as the couple turn off their mics. Logan hands his back to Vivian Blake as Faye simply places hers in the corner.

Vivian Blake: And their opponents…at a combined weight of 330 lbs…Summer Page and Elijah Copeland!



Logan Bailey starts off for his team, with Page feeling confident enough to start off with him! Page and Bailey circle the ring, with Bailey even doing a bit of shucking and jiving in the process! Eventually the two come to the center of the ring, with Page looking to grapple! She swoops around Bailey, getting in the Waistlock and looking to take him down using a Snap German Suplex! But Bailey reverses, throwing Page to the mat before waving a finger at her as she’s sat on the mat! She gets back to her feet, raising up her hand and inviting Bailey to participate in a Test of Strength! Bailey laughs her off a bit before humoring her, taking her back the right hand! Before he can do anything else, however, Page wrenches the arm of Bailey, catching him back surprise! He recoils a bit now as Page tugs the arm, hyperextending the muscles within! She wrenches the arm even further now, before pulling him in for a Spike DDT! Page pops up to her feet, turning her back to Bailey in order to posture towards and taunt the crowd! The lack of action gives Bailey a chance to go to his corner and tag in Faye Brown, with Page turning to face her and immediately widening her eyes! She scrambles over to her corner, forcing a tag on Elijah Copeland before more or less throwing herself out of the ring!

Brown approaches the ropes, staring daggers through Page as she taunts her for not being able to get her hands on her legally by this point! The distraction seems to work however, with Elijah Copeland coming up behind and going for a Schoolboy Roll Up Pin!

ONE…!


TWO…!

Kick out by Brown! She rolls back to her knees, only to be caught with Superkick by Copeland that takes her down! He drags her into his corner, sending a bevy of Stomps right to her chest before tagging in Summer Page again! She steps into the ring now, sending a few Stomps into Brown’s chest again, before immediately tagging Copeland back in! He sends a few more Stomps to Brown’s chest, before getting her back up and bringing her to his knee with a Backbreaker! He keeps her on his knee for a bit, looking to further the damage! He tosses Brown to the mat, encouraging to tag in her “little man”! Brown isn’t gonna take that one lying down however, rushing to her feet and bringing Copeland to the mat with a Double Leg Takedown! She follows up with a bevy of strikes to the top of Copelands head before he eventually pushes her off! The two get to their feet, before Brown ducks underneath a Lariat attempt from Copeland to hit the ropes and catch him with a Spear! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Copeland! Brown drags him over to her corner, tagging in Logan Bailey! She pins Copeland down, allowing for Bailey to leap from the top rope to hit a Crossbody Splash! He goes for the pin now!

ONE…!


TWO…!

Another kick out from Copeland! The two get to their feet, with Copeland looking especially offended by the person standing before him! He gives Bailey the up-down once over before telling him to just get out of his ring! Bailey doesn’t heed his demand, leading Copeland to go for strike! But Bailey catches it, clubbing him with a Forearm of his own to counter! He goes for another, then another, then ANOTHER, eventually catching him with a Knee Strike that backs him into the corner! Summer Page gets the tag now, with Copeland rolling out of the ring and to ringside! Page steps up to Bailey now, before suddenly hearing Brown call out from the opposite corner! She extends a hand out, to which Bailey simply responds by backing into the corner and tagging her in! Page looks absolutely petrified now as her rival enters the ring! Copeland’s nowhere to be found, and sensing she has no other option, she decides to rush out of the ring to avoid Brown! The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow rolls her eyes, having been through this same chase a thousand times now, before leaving the ring to pursue her! She chases her back into the ring and right into a Superkick from Elijah Copeland! The shot turns her around, leaving an opening for Copeland to hit a Release German Suplex! He takes to the corner, allowing Page to run in for a quick pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Brown! Page looks down at Brown in shock, before immediately going to tag in Copeland! However, ironically, the huge throw made by Copeland leaves Brown closer to her corner than he’d like, allowing Brown to tag in Bailey! Bailey enters the ring, immediately hitting Copeland with a SPEAR!! He isn’t finished however, looking for Totally Insaney! He looks to wrench the arm for it, but Copeland pulls him in, getting the Shin Breaker on him before throwing him to the mat with the SAITO SUPLEX!! Copeland gets Bailey up, looking for the Money Maker! But just then, Faye Brown jumps in, catching Copeland with a Superkick as a receipt! Copeland staggers with Bailey catching him with a Kick to the midsection! Meanwhile Summer Page tries to intervene with a Lariat to Brown! She ducks underneath it however, getting Page in Ripcord position! Almost completely in sync, Bailey hits the WHAM ON COPELAND!! Meanwhile Brown takes Page down with the RIOT MAKER!! Bailey goes for the pin on Copeland!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…Play! Dead!

WINNERS: PLAY DEAD (VIA PINFALL)

" Heavy Rotation " By AKB48 Music hits the arena and the crowd cheer their fan favorite Nami Megumi walks out from backstage with a smile on her face. And give high five to her fans along the ringside and slide to the ring and give a mic to talk.

Nami Megumi: I want justice! Last week everyone knew what was going on. Yeah, I mean I deserved to beat Angel Kash because she tapped out, that's the point. But that's not a big issue. But I was disturbed by both Privileged Elite and Maki Megumi in this match. Is this what I deserve? I'm not here to summon Angel Kash. I still don't want a match for the Zion Wrestling Championship right now but the person I want to come out here is my sister Maki Megumi! I want this is what you want, Maki? You want to destroy my happiness. Is this what people who call themselves sisters do? You should just sit back and wait and see if I succeed, not destroy what I'm doing, Maki, and Friday I don't know who the masked bastard is helping you. But obviously you can't beat yourself. And you can't even defend yourself against me, Maki. I want you to come out today to be responsible for everything you did to me, both in Mayhem and Fusion, since you were the one who betrayed me and Ayu in Japan. What more do you want from me now? We should do our duty, right? Or are you jealous that I'm going to succeed here while you're failing? You just want attention and of course now you got my attention Maki since you took everything from me. After I recover from my injury, at Fusion I will beat you. Let you know that while you stop developing I'm more developed than you and don't think that if you beat me and Ayu in Japan it will happen again here. I said there was no way you could beat me. And you'll know that this was your wrong decision! Come out!! Maki!!!

" Old Doll " by Mad Father Music hits the arena and the crowd turn to boos at her but Maki Megumi doesn't care about it she slowly walks to the ring and keeps her eyes on her sister Nami Megumi. Maki steps up to the ring and stands in front of her sister. And raised the microphone to talk.

Maki Megumi: There seems to be a loser who has yet to admit his defeat. Nami, tell me, why should I believe you can defeat Angel Kash? Oh, because Angel Kash tapped out? Excuse me, little bird. Who said you won? What idiots? (Maki pointing to fans) Haha. Keep fooling yourself. Nami continues to run away from the truth. Because I never taught you to be weak like this! Because all the fools who supported you made you weak. And I'm disappointed in you, Nami. What I'm doing is pulling you back on the right track. But what are you trying to do? Against me? Think carefully, little bird, you know I've never given anyone a second chance. You know what kind of person I am, why don't you resist and Embrace the darkness from me little bird Remember when we teamed up? How successful have we been? Think about that moment. Nami, and if asked why I betrayed you in Japan, right? Take a look in the mirror. I don't want to be weak like you. See, I'm stronger, Nami. I don't care if you're a former Zion Gateway Champion, because you're fragile and weak now, look at your pity now. Can someone help you? If you embrace the darkness I will be by your side and protect you, but if you choose to be my enemy. I have no choice but to destroy you in front of your fans. Nami, there is no reason you have to do it for these idiots. What do you get from this support? It helped you defeat Angel Kash? Will it help you not get hurt? I gave you a chance to think. Nami, I hope you are as smart as many people think. I'm just doing the sister's duty, I don't want you to be weak. I want to see you strong. Nami embraces the darkness. and join me And everything you want, you'll get or even the gold that should be yours-..

Nami Megumi slapped Maki Megumi's left cheeks and looked at her with the look of anger and tears in her eyes. Nami's eyes trembled and filled with disappointment and incomprehension.

Nami Megumi: Because of you that made me unsuccessful And remember I don't want to be like you. I can let you see me as weak. But I won't let you insult my fans. I can let you insult me ​​as if I am weak if I continue to achieve this kind of success. Maki, after I recover from my injury, I will defeat you. And if I win you don't mess with me after this. I am Nami. I would rather not have Megumi than if I had to have an older sister like you. No matter what you tried to do with me last week I will take revenge on you Maki. You took my everything. If you really wish me well You weren't supposed to come out and help Angel Kash. If you were really good at it, you wouldn't let that mask hurt me like this. But I don't listen to your excuses anymore Maki I will take revenge I will beat you I will beat you until you accept responsibility for everything that happened Maki I will not give you what you want. Even I can't. You have no one left. because of yourself Since the day you betrayed me and Ayu If that's the reason why you betrayed us There must be nothing else to talk about. Maki, after you face Yukiko Kusanagi at Battleborn, you and I will face each other at Fusion. You will learn that I am stronger than you. After I defeated you, you didn't have to do anything. I will walk out of your life. Maki wishes you good luck with your chosen path. And I can take care of myself and Ayu, we don't need you. And now I have nothing to talk to you about, Maki. I hope you learn that you lost everything because of you. Don't expect you to get anything from me if you lose to me in Fusion. Wait for the day I recover from my injury and we can get together. Let's see if you can beat me or not?

(Off-Mic) Maki Megumi: Are you sure little bird if I beat you?

Nami Megumi said nothing, she pushed Maki Megumi away from her. But Maki doesn't let Nami go, she just pulls Nami's hair back and kick to the stomach! Nami down to her knees! Maki runs to the ropes and connects with the Tsunami!!!! The Last Shot connects to the face of Nami Megumi! Nami just tastes her own finisher Maki just staring down at Unconscious Nami Megumi with an evil smile on her face. Maki places her boot on her sister's chest and raises her hand up like a winner. The crowd boos at Maki and starts to throw trash but Maki doesn't care about it. She was just proud of what she did.

The wolves are together in the locker room, sitting there watching the show. Kassandra reaches for the remote and turns the TV off as she looked over at Danae. She smiled softly, then got an evil idea in her head. The cameraman had just arrived in their locker room, just to overhear the two of them talking. Danae then quickly looked over seeing the cameraman, she jumped over the couch looking into the cameraman with her silver eyes. Kassandra gets up pushing her hand on Danae’s chest to get her to back off.

” the Blue-Eyed Wolf” Kassandra: How much of that did you hear?

The cameraman put his hand up, indicating that he had only heard a small amount as to it. Kassandra then looked at him, laughing as she escorted him over to a chair where Danae had set them up. Kassandra invites him to come and sit down, the two women then sit across from him, Kassandra then lifts her hand to Danae, who is still scowling at this point.

” the Blue-Eyed Wolf” Kassandra: If you had to know we were talking about the little dollies who decided it was their right to stick their nose into my business. Sure, the Queen helped us that one week, and last week might have been retribution. But that does not mean they get to stick their nose into my business.

Kassandra then looks over at Danae, as she then turned to the cameraman who was sitting there, watching to see what she would do. Danae then stood up and folded up her chair and put it up against the locker looking into the cameraman’s eyes.

”the Silver-Eyed Wolf” Danae: The next time you dolls think it’s the time to put your nose in our business, I’ll make sure I chase the two of you down. See Kassandra did not need your help against Ashlynn, she was doing just fine. You two tainted a victory, and that is something I do not appreciate…

Kassandra nods as she tends to agree with her tag team partner. Kassandra then applauded, as she looked at Danae. She watched the cameraman sweating, Kassandra then turned to the cameraman watching him.

” the Blue-Eyed Wolf” Kassandra: So Danae had a good point. So Bisque Dolls, the Crown, whoever comes out from that tag team title match with the belts, just remember that the House is always watching, and when you two teams are done…

”the Silver-Eyed Wolf” Danae: the Hunt begins once more.

” the Blue-Eyed Wolf” Kassandra: Now, it is time for you to leave, and I do not want to see you back here unless I call for you got it?

The cameraman nodded, as Kassandra stood up standing in front of Danae, as the cameraman folded up his chair, then handed it to Kassandra. Kassandra took it from him, and smiled as she shooed him off.



Backstage, Layla Diaz and Jed Coffey are getting ready for their match later tonight. Diaz is looking into a mirror adjusting her entrance mask while Coffey is flexing workout bands trying to get his biceps and triceps to pop on screen.

Jed Coffey: Have you heard from Bosslady recently, Little D?

Diaz finishes adjusting her mask and turns her attention over to Coffey.

Layla Diaz: Not since we left da Chi fa da weekend. She wuz at da house befoe dat talkin ta Jay but she ain’t returned a text sayin she here a not.

Coffey stops with the workout bands and leans in closer to Diaz. He looks around to make sure no one else is around.

Jed Coffey: I’m not crazy thinking Bosslady has gone a bit off the deep end, am I? I mean, first she was referring to herself as if she were a literal queen but last week I could have sworn I heard her talking to herself. Not just asking questions out loud but answering them as well.

Layla Diaz: L done been unda a lot a stress. She blames herself fa droppin da fall back at Invasion. She came up short against dat Maiden bish, Turbo. Not ta mention she lost against dat Vaughn guy fa da TPW International Title. I tink she jus questionin herself.

Jed Coffey: Well, just between you and me, I’ve been hearing her say some things that are downright scary. I think she’s losing it.

The locker room lights begin to flicker causing Coffey to panic. The lights then go pitch black in the room.

Jed Coffey: Hold me.

The lights remain off for a few moments as Diaz and Coffey can be heard stumbling around. The lights come back on and Coffey is clutching to Diaz’s side tightly. As they do, Coffey lets go, clearing his throat as if everything is fine. What Diaz and Coffey don’t see, though, is a reflection in the mirror of Leah Aguero. It’s a version of the War Queen that Zion Wrestling fans haven’t seen here yet. Hair pulled back into a high tight ponytail, painted white dots around her eyes, a black Hannibal Lecter-esque mask covering her face from the nose down, dressed all in black.

Layla Diaz: Dafuq wrong wit yous, Mighty J? Yous act like dey sum ghost a sum ish up in her.

Just then, Diaz turns back to the mirror to see Leah in the mirror. Diaz jumps up into Coffey’s arms instantaneously causing Coffey to cradle her like a baby. As they turn around, however, Leah is standing right there beside them.

Jed Coffey: But you? You were just in the mirror… and now you’re here… and the lights.

Leah Aguero: Faulty bulb. Hector is taking care of it.

Leah points up to the ceiling where a maintenance man is standing on a ladder replacing a burnt out bulb. Coffey quickly sets Diaz down as the two begin to compose themselves.

Jed Coffey: We weren’t sure if you were going to be here tonight, Bosslady. Little D said she had text you but hadn’t heard anything. Everything all good.

Leah walks around the locker room, observing her surroundings.

Leah Aguero: I was taking care of a few things. Are you two ready for tonight? Need I remind you of the ramifications of the Second City Riot Squad taking on Las Olvidadas?

Layla Diaz: Naw, L. We know wuz up. We know we gots ta show dem jus wut dey up against befoe Battle Born. Especially afta…

Diaz stops herself mid sentence, hoping not to activate Leah.

Leah Aguero: Especially after what, Diaz? After Carmen Leija beat me last time?

There’s an eerie silence traded between all three until Leah breaks the tension.

Leah Aguero: Well, you’re right. It was a blow to my ego that that pissant fourth rate Shieldmaiden pinned me. It should be a blow to both of your egos as well. Are you going to stand by and let them think they so much as have a shot at taking the Zion Wrestling Trios Titles from us at Battle Born? I would hope not. Tonight is your chance to show them what the SCRS is really made of. I don’t care if you win against Taza and Sangre. I just want to make sure that you make them hurt. Make them regret accepting a contenders spot against the Second City Riot Squad. Make them pay.

The lights suddenly go off again.

Jed Coffey: Hector, is that you again? If so, can you please make it stop?

The lights come back on but Leah is gone. It’s only Diaz, Coffey and Hector left in the room as Hector fiddles atop the ladder with some wiring.

[Kai Morgan]

The pre-recorded footage takes place at a dinner party downtown. The “Give Chelsea a Chance” movement is celebrating under a “Mission Accomplished” banner. Chelsea is able to have some time to break away from the party and take center stage in front of the camera as she begins to express her thoughts.

Chelsea LeClair: I wanted to say thank you! Thank you to all of you that were a part of the Give Chelsea A Chance movement. Because of your amazing efforts, we ARE going to Destiny and I’m going to be a part of a big battle royal. A title shot anytime, anywhere is at stake and you can bet your ass that I am going to give it everything that I have in order to pull through, surprise so much of the world and secure that huge title shot. Of course, for all of the amazing, wonderful help that you guys gave me, I still had to go out there and state my case in that ring and that’s exactly what I managed to do when I took on a very game Risa Jackson and I managed to secure the biggest win of my ZION Wrestling career to date. Yeah, I know that there are going to be some people that are going to doubt me and everything, but hey, I THRIVE off of that doubt. After all, there was a point in my career where I was never taken seriously at all. I was well… I hate to name drop here, but I was pretty much a glorified Jessica Anderson.

BUT, I have since built myself up as a viable contender in any match I wrestle. I have become a two time world champion in my own right in spite of all the uphill battles that were thrown in front of me. Risa was one hell of a challenge and I know that I had an uphill battle in that just as much as I am going to have an uphill battle at Destiny. It still didn’t slow me down. So what do I make of YOU, Petra Vasquez? You think you’re hot shit huh? OH MY PARENTS WERE ACTORS…. pffft…

Chelsea scoffs, pauses and rolls her eyes knowing all too well how the “Hollywood” types are. She maintains her confidence and composure as she continues.

Chelsea LeClair: Yeah, you can be as flashy all you want with that noise and you can think that the world revolves around you with the silver spoon in your mouth and everything but let me tell you something , Petra. You are right up my street. I know how to beat people like you because I USED to be someone that was just like you. I don’t have time for people like you that walk around, acting arrogant thinking that their shit doesn’t stink. In fact, I can’t even like people like you. But that’s okay because tonight, I DO get to beat someone like you and it is going to be very satisfying. I am on the road to Destiny now, where I WILL achieve my Destiny, or at the very least compe close to it, by winning that massive battle royal. It doesn’t matter to me who is in it. What matters is that I am going to do what I have done whenever I have won my two world championships and accomplished what I have in this business and that is prove that I am not just a pretty face, prove that I belong in the upper echelon of Mayhem and prove that I have everything that it takes to be a major player in ZION Wrestling. Beating Risa was a HUGE step toward that, Petra. When you step into that ring with me, you know exactly what you are going to get and trust me, you’re going to get SO much more than what you expected of me considering your never-ending arrogance that is going to bite you in the ass in the end. Now, as much as I’d like to kick back and party tonight, I’ve got business to take care of. But believe me, those that were behind this movement to get me to Destiny? You DESERVE something to celebrate and tonight, that’s what you’re getting! Enjoy the show, BITCHES.

And for the biggest one I’m dealing with tonight… that would be YOU by the way Petra… you’re going to get a sampling of where hard work and dedication, and not having a silver spoon up your ass, absolutely takes you.

Chelsea winks at the camera, full of confidence. She leaves her own party at this point. The scene focuses on the party taking place under the ‘Mission Accomplished” banner before it fades out.



The large man stood outside the door, as someone approached the door. The cameraman then nodded looking at Fabricio, standing there towering above him. Fabricio, then tilted his head to the side, then recognized who he had been waiting for, then motioned for him to follow him into the locker room. Petra was just finishing getting ready and had asked Fabricio to not have her disturbed. She saw her giant walking into the room through the mirror as she looked kind of disgusted with him.

Petra Vasquez: I told you Fab, that I was not to be disturb…

She stopped silent as she saw the cameraman coming in behind him, She then picked up her brush off the vanity, Fabricio went and sat down on the couch as the cameraman then came up where Petra was sitting as she smiled sweetly. She then turned to look over at Fabricio.

Petra Vasquez: You are forgiven.

Petra then turns back to the mirror watching the camera as she picked up some of her make-up off the desk, and then looked at the cameraman. She watched carefully for a moment then smiled to herself. She then motioned to Fabricio to get himself ready. He nods then he gets up off the couch, heading into the side room, getting his jacket and such.

Petra Vasquez: You know when I first debuted it was a spectacle to behold. I won even if it was a squash of that disgusting Uggo. Sure, last week was a set back on my career here, but I don’t look at the past I never have. Those who have come before me are just the steppingstones to my future. Giving me a chance to learn from my mistakes, and evolve from there.

Petra put her lipstick on then, turned back to the cameraman. She then smiled softly, as Fabricio came back in passing her shirt to her as she pulled it over her under shirt. She then turned to the mirror adjusting herself, putting her hat on backwards.

Petra Vasquez: the first step to getting back to the way I was before the loss last week, is to take down Chelsea LeClair. That will not be a small task, and I am just about ready for her. This is my night to shine, and don’t worry there won’t be many uggos getting past my beast.

She giggled then kissed the mirror, leaving a lip print on the mirror. She then drew a heart as she turned watching Fabricio come out in the vest she bought him, and she then smiled.

Petra Vasquez: You are Perfect!

She jumped up into his arms, giving him a hug then stepped back onto the floor. She headed through the door way, Fabricio then pushed the cameraman out, as the scene heads back to the arena for the next match.



Petra Vasquez vs Chelsea LeClair

WINNER: CHELSEA LeCLAIR (VIA PINFALL)

We cut backstage to find Mayhem’s newest acquisition, Sylvia Lopez, sitting cross legged on top of a production crate. Her head is lowered with her long brown hair covering her face as she rocks back and forth as she plays with her fingers.

Sylvia Lopez: One… two… Sylvia’s coming for you! Three… four… crashing through your door! Five… six… headbutts, punches and kicks! Seven… eight… Sylvia’s sealed your fate!

The Bellevue Banshee then stops rocking once she finishes singing and then suddenly throws her head back and laughs maniacally. She stares wide eyed into the camera, showing off her pearly white teeth with a huge grin.

Sylvia Lopez: Did you see Sylvia last week?! Did you see Sylvia come out to play with Thalia Starks?! DID YOU SEE IT?!?!

Lopez giggles and claps her hands as she excitedly bounces up and down on the spot.

Sylvia Lopez: Sylvia is close to winning a shiny now! Sylvia can taste it! Sylvia can smell it! Sylvia can feel it!

She stops bouncing and her smile fades as she begins to pull at her hair.

Sylvia Lopez: Sylvia won’t allow anyone to take the shiny away from her! No! The shiny belongs to Sylvia! The shiny belongs to Sylvia!!! THE SHINY BELONGS TO SYLVIA!!!

The Bellevue Banshee then lets out a blood curdling shriek as she jumps to her feet on the crate and then dives towards the camera forcing it to cut off as we cut elsewhere.

Sofia Hilton looks at her younger sister, eighteen year-old Ravenna Rojas and smiles.

Sofia: ¿Estás listo? ¡Nuestros primas también están aquí esta noche

Ravenna’s eyes go wide with excitement.

Ravenna: ¿Si? ¡Qué chimba!

Sofia nods.

Sofia: Por el pasillo, tercera puerta a la derecha.

Ravenna nods happily and hurries out into the hallway. She turns left and starts looking at the names on the doors when suddenly, two women seem to appear almost out of nowhere at the end of the hallway.

Bisque Dolls: Hi, Ravenna. Come play with us!

Ravenna’s eyes linger just for a second on the two women standing a hundred feet away from her, her entire body starting to shake at the sight.

Ravenna: ¡Coneja! ¡La Llorana! ¡La Llorana! ¡La muerte viene en dos! ¡Ayúdame!

Bisque Dolls: Come on, Ravenna, we can have fun!

As Ravenna continues shaking, her sister comes out and finds her.

Sofia: Cálmate, Cuervo. Cálmate. Esta bien. Esta bien. Estás seguro.

Bisque Dolls: You come play too, Sofia. We love playing with sisters.

Sofia leans to her sister’s ear.

Sofia: ¡Tercera puerta a la derecha, adelante!

Ravenna nods and hurries back the other way, away from the two women while Sofia remains, looking a little nervous herself.

Bisque Dolls: Come play with us!

Three doors down the hallway, Las Olvidadas, Gabriela “Taza” Carbajal, Essentia “Sangre” Carbajal, and Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija, stand waiting for the little red light on the camera to come on and signal them to start cutting their promo for their match with the Second City Riot Squad. Just as it comes on, the door flies open admitting first Ravenna and then Sofia.

Taza: ¿Cuervo? ¿Coneja? ¿Hay problema?

Turbo steps to the door, glances out and then nods.

Turbo: Bisque Dolls.

Sangre shakes her head.

Sangre: Las diablas acechan.

Turbo nods knowingly.

Turbo: Cálmate, Cuervo. Cálmate. Esta bien. Esta bien. Aquí no hay diablas. Estás seguro.

Taza nods before turning to the camera.

Taza: Family is important to us. We fight for them and because of them. Tonight, we meet a team our family is quite familiar with.

Sangre: A team our club is very familiar with.

Turbo: Second City Riot Squad, you will remember us!

Taza: We damn sure remember you!

Sangre: Tonight we continue what started in Mile High Wrestling and continued into NFW.

Turbo: It did not start here, but this chapter of the saga between the Second City Riot Squad and the Shieldmaidens is just getting started! Tonight we make new memories!

Taza: Hell is empty…

Sangre: And the Maidens are here!

The three turn from the camera and embrace their cousins, trying to soothe their fears of what they saw in the hallway as the shot fades elsewhere.

Taza gets back to her feet, only to be met with an Arm Drag by Diaz! She pops up to her feet again, this time with Diaz attempting a Satellite DDT!

Diaz and Coffey stand tall as we fade out!

WINNERS: SCRS (VIA PINFALL)



The camera focused on a flawlessly, rose red colored manicured hand displaying eight playing cards, with a familiar voice entering the scene.

“The concept of competition can take on many forms. The game will be full of “what if’s” and complicated with different options. But when it’s all said and done, one thing remains the same…”

Suddenly, the hand purposely lets six of those cards fall out of the frame of the camera, holding onto only one…The Queen of Hearts.

“Only one will walks away victorious…The Queen.”

The camera pulls back and reveals the location being The Throne Room in a (soon to enter) And gracefully sitting on the elevated throne, with one leg over the other, is Cassie Lopez, with her Amazonian Goddess friend Cleopatra Ivy standing beside the throne. Cassie is wearing an ensemble comprised of a grey knit off-the-shoulder sweater, blue jeans, and cognac knee-high heeled boots while Cleopatra is sporting an outfit of a black solid round-neck long sleeve blouse with light-wash boyfriend jeans, gold hoop earrings and black booties. Both ladies are looking at the camera with confidence as it focuses on them. Within moments, Cassie begins to speak…

Cassie Lopez: That’s what will happen in the next couple of weeks: one tournament to decide who will be the next to hold the title of Gateway Champion, which was left vacated by a credible champion in Nami Megumi. Oh and sweetie….get well soon.

It was a little awkward for Cassie to show compassion to someone to whom she has had heat with for months. But she made it clear of how much she didn’t care by rolling her eyes at the end of her statement of “well-wishes.” Before long, Cassie continues…

Cassie Lopez: Anyway, three victories to secure this prestigious title. And it is here where I, “Top Tier” Cassie Lopez, will make my ultimate statement; making everyone know that even in this most competitive of elements; I will still assert my dominance, therefore making my point to winning this championship even stronger into becoming reality. And it’s a whole lot more than me being extremely close in taking that title from Megumi in the first place.

It’s not like I told you any of this before. Many of you are just too stupid enough to comprehend it. I am the baddest bitch to ever put on wrestling boots. And I have proven it every time that I stepped in that ring. Just asked Nami how difficult it was to secure that final victory over me only to vacate that same title the next day. She’s has undermined me for weeks since I laid out the challenge and even before that. Now, she knows better, just like everyone else is going to feel in this tournament.

Cassie slowly nods her head, convinced of the words she is speaking while Cleopatra keeps her stern demeanor with her arms crossed in front of her. After taking in a few seconds to look away, she returns to the camera.

Cassie Lopez: It seems kind of ironic, you know? You see, one of my favorite movies when I was a kid is King Kong. The original one of course, not that bullshit one from the late 70’s and the Peter Jackson version wasn’t bad. Anyway, in all three movies, they had this one scene that, to this day, is one of the film’s iconic scenes. It’s the one where Kong tries to bust open the gate to get into the village and he was being held back by the little guys who tried to keep him from coming inside. Of course, they were no match for the mighty Kong as he busted that gate open and entered that village freely.

It’s a memory that makes Cassie smile and moan in satisfaction.

Cassie Lopez: It was so much fun to watch as Kong was terrorizing those helpless villagers as they became his amusement to destroy, knowing there was nothing they can do to stop him. I love that scene so much, that sometimes, I fucking dream about it, being that force of nature wreaking havoc on those putos and putas and having them surrender to me as I did anything to them as I choose. It never gets old.

Cassie smiles again and lets out a little giggle to support her statement. It’s obvious that she enjoys what she is saying.

Cassie Lopez: You know, It’s funny how art can imitate life. The more that I think about this tournament, the more I’m convinced that I’m actually reliving that scene from the movie. Only what’s behind the gate is me winning the Gateway Championship. And the ones holding me back?...seven “hopefuls” looking to make a name for themselves at my expense and the millions of others who will be watching. They all don’t want to see me become Gateway Champion, because they know that I am more than capable to win this tournament hands down and be the champion that will bring the prestige it deserves to have. I’m not going to say that neither of these wrestlers I’m competing against is good, especially one who I have no qualms calling my equal and just as capable to win this as I am. But let’s get real, none of them comes close to me when it comes to that ring. They can be the biggest, the strongest, the smartest, or the most athletic, I don’t care. What they need to know is I’m all of that in one package. And if they think I’m going to show any mercy to them? (laughs) Then it’s obvious they don’t know me very well…but they will….

And who exactly will be those “little people” who will be the centerpiece of the group holding me back in winning this thing: "The Fearless Seven" maybe? I can go with that.

Cassie turns to look at Cleopatra, who looks back at Cassie and nods her head in agreement. Moments later, Cassie brings her focus back to the camera.

Cassie Lopez: You have Alexis Lemon, this cute little number who has this belief that people love her; love her because she’s cute. I heard some people say that she is sweet and good enough to eat. And I can say, I very much have a sweet tooth. And that cute little morsel would be just fine enough for me to devour after I’m done with her.

Cassie licks her lips and rubs her hands together. Even the thought of what she’s saying makes her lust in hunger.

Cassie Lopez: Then, there is Petra Vasquez. You are quite the impressive package being the only one in this competition who comes close to me in appearance and mental toughness. And that’s where the relationship ends. Actually, it’s more of an upgrade when it comes to me because whatever you are, I’m ten times better. And when the time comes and we collide, that statement alone isn’t going to be the only thing that’s holding you down. And I will be more than glad to teach you what that is.

Cassie then makes herself comfortable on the throne by switching legs over each other as she continues to speak.

Cassie Lopez: Now, I have alluded to earlier of the woman who is my equal. That woman is, of course, my best friend and Privileged Elite sister, Summer Page. Bottom line, we are the Alphas in this tournament. And there is a guarantee that when we face each other, it will be a banger that will DEFINITELY steal the show. If you all want me to take offense in Summer saying that she’s the woman to beat in this tournament, it’s not going to happen. Summer, you know what you’re worth and you are well aware of the obstacles that will keep you from winning this thing, including the one that’s more talented, skilled, and prepared to swat you down. And if I am content in doing this to someone that I love, what chances do any of you have against me?

What about you, Ricky Rodriguez? Still pissed off over what I’ve done to you at the Fight for Infinity Battle Royal and then after your match with Petra (Vasquez)? Honey, understand that EVERYTHING that Cassie Lopez does is for a reason. And what better place to make you understand that than in this tournament. Some may say actually they are impressed by you. I like and respect that. But seriously, it doesn’t matter to me because as impressive you believe you are…I can (and will) crush you if you get in my way. And you are definitely in my way.

At this point, Cassie rises from the throne and slowly comes down the stairs, with Cleopatra following suit, both focusing on the camera as they come down.

Cassie Lopez: Thalia Starks. you carry yourself with respect & honor, no matter what impossible things get in the ring, much less those who challenge you or, at the least, you put on a convincing poker face….so far. But I’m a completely different ball of wax. You can’t even prepare to take on a woman like me. But me? Every inch of me is dying to test how fearless & resilient you think you are. And I want you to not think of what I do in the ring through listening to someone else’s stories & sound bytes because like the old saying goes; experience is the best teacher and little girl; you’re going to get one hell of a lesson if and when you’re across the ring from me.

A few moments later. Cassie stops walking as her focus continues on the camera.

Cassie Lopez: Hana Kaneko. I’ve only been aware of you a few weeks and I’m already intrigued by you. You are the direct example of these airheaded cupie dolls that I’ve been tossing around most of my wrestling career. But you stand on a very short list of those who pose a great challenge to me given your “assassin’s mentality” when you’re in the ring. I hope I get in the ring with you in some point in this tournament. The business that I have for you will be more than satisfactory as you bow before me after I’ve done kicking your ass. That goes double for whoever this mystery wrestler is, and I KNOW that you’re watching this. History states that the most dangerous wrestler in any match is one who is not known to their opponents, one who gives us not much time to prepare for. Well, my desire to become Gateway Champion is bigger than ANY of your mystery. And if it comes down to us, me stomping you out won’t be a mystery for long.

I’m not a fool. I know this is not going to be easy. But since when that ever stopped me? If you haven't got the memo yet, I do what I want, whenever I want, and I don't give a damn what anybody thinks. Is this a popularity contest? To most people, it is. You have more than enough wrestlers to cheer into winning. Me? I don't need to. I have more than enough imbeciles kissing my feet on the daily. I am clearly the most alluring and desirable woman that people want to see week in and week out. And I will be the most dominant woman in this tournament. And if I have to leave these wrestlers in the dust to prove that?....You don't have to ask me twice.

The ladies continue their walk down the stairs. As the ladies comes down the end of the stairs, Cassie and Cleopatra stop and looks down at the floor, where their eyes notice a few clay figurines standing before them. As they look closer, they notice that they all look familiar, as they are all dressed in the wrestling gear form of some of her opponents. The ladies return their focus to the camera as Cassie continues to speak.

Cassie Lopez: I'm storming my way towards the "village" and now, I'm right at the gate. Try to keep me from busting it open. It’s like all of you are playing checkers and I’m playing chess. And in this game….I’m the one who rules.

With authoritative malice, Cassie takes out the figurines with a single stomp of her booted foot. She then looks up at the camera again with a sexy smirk.

Cassie Lopez: Checkmate, bitches!

With a confident swagger, Cassie strolls away from the camera with Cleopatra, prompting the camera to fade to black.



Alexis Lemon stands in gorilla position, moments before her match with Hana Kaneko. She is making last minute preparations before her music hits, She puts on her jacket, followed by her hat, and bounces up and down before turning to see the camera on her. The sudden realization makes her jump.

Alexis Lemon: Jesus Christ! Don’t sneak up to me when I’m in the zone! What do you want, huh?? You want me to talk about my match? The match that I’m literally RIGHT about to do??

The cameraman remains silent, but the camera slowly bobs up and down in a nodding motion. Lexi sighs

Alexis Lemon: Fine. Look, I don’t really know Hana. Personally, I mean. I know her in the ring from my film sessions and stuff. But I mean, it isn’t from lack of trying that I don’t know her! Maybe she just doesn’t want to talk to her opponents before she faces them. Or maybe she just doesn’t like me. I don’t know and I don’t care! But what I do care about is making my way through this tournament and taking that Gateway championship home with me!

Alexis drops her headphones down around her neck to focus on her words.

Alexis Lemon: I’ve only been in this biz for a minute but I’ve already had a few title opportunities. More than I deserve at this point in my career, I’m aware of that. And, rather fittingly, I lost them all! Not gonna hide that fact. I don’t know if I really deserve to win that strap considering all the talent around me, at least a couple who have been doing this longer than me. But that won’t stop me from busting my butt to snag the belt for myself! If I win, I will prove everyone… including myself, wrong. And if I don’t… well, I keep grinding for my next shot!

Lexi clenches her fists and hunches forward, clearly firing herself up with her words.

Alexis Lemon: With that being said I’ll have you know that I don’t plan on losing. I never plan on losing. I may not have ever had the best luck in tournaments, but I’ve never been bounced in the first round and I don’t plan on starting tonight. So Hana, I hope you’re ready. I’ll see you out there! Hit my music!

Lexi takes off her headphones and takes her phone out of her pocket, setting them both down as she hears her music begin to play. She steps through the curtain and the scene cuts off…
