Zion Wrestling Presents...BattleBorn!!

[Kai Morgan]

And now…Zion Wrestling Presents…BATTLEBORN!!

We open up to a sold out Little Caesars Arena, sight for sore eyes after being in a small warehouse arena for the past month! The fans are seemingly on their feet, ready and raring to go as we cut to the announce table!

Eddie Red Apples: With less than a month to go before our biggest event of the year, we could see everything change right here tonight! Who will come out with their will successfully tested? Who will see their visions of Destiny left in the dust? Who amongst the Fusion roster is battle ready? We find out tonight…at BattleBorn! I’m Eddie Red Apples, joined by my partner in crime Amber Westgate!

Amber Westgate: Tonight is so exciting Eddie, just listen to this huge packed crowd showing how much they’ve missed seeing Zion on a scale like this! Let’s start the night with some fun Trios action for the Trios Championships!



Alex Lawson: The following contest…is a Tornado Trios Match…and it is for the Zion Wrestling TRIOS! CHAMPIONSHIP!



The lights dim as the Shieldmaidens motto “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here!” comes over the Tron. The stabbing guitar intro of Ekhymosis’s “Justicia Negra” starts. As it kicks to the main riff, Carmen “Turbo” Leija accompanies Gabi “Taza” Carbajal and Essie “Sangre” Carbajal, Las Olvidadas, to the ring. The three step in, each ready to start the fight and whatever comes at them.



Entrance: “Killing in the Name” by Rage Against the Machine starts playing over the sound system as the lights begin to slowly go in and out. As the hook begins, the lights come on fully and Jed Coffey is standing at the top of the entrance with his arms folded.

Killing in the name of

The fans immediately begin to boo the man as they know the rest of the Second City Riot Squad contingent is not far behind.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Leah Aguero and Layla Diaz arrive from out behind Coffey on either side. Diaz is sporting her typical red and black half lucha mask as Leah has a black bandana covering her face from the nose down and a backward baseball cap pulling her hair back. After posing at the top of the entrance, the trio start to make their way towards the ring, ignoring the heat they are receiving from the fans.

Ugh!
Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

Jed Coffey is the first one up on the apron. He sits on the middle rope as both Leah Aguero and Layla Diaz enter the ring.

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…the challengers…representing the Shieldmaidens…from New Orleans, Louisiana…at a combined weight of 392 lbs…the team of Carmen “Turbo” Leija, Essie “Sangre” Carbajal, and Gabi “Taza” Carbajal…Las! Olvidadas!

And their opponents…from Chicago, Illinois…at a combined weight of 523 lbs…the team of Leah Aguero, Layla Diaz, and Jed Coffey…they are the Zion Wrestling TRIOS! CHAMPIONS!...THE SECOND CITY! RIOT! SQUAD!



The bell rings and chaos erupts as all six competitors begin to throw strikes at will! The camera pans over as Sangre’s strikes begin to pick up steam on Layla Diaz! She fights her back to the ropes before looking to send her all the way out using a Clothesline! But Diaz reverses, throwing Sangre over the top rope and to the floor at ringside with a Back Body Drop! The Shieldmaiden begins to make her way to her feet, looking to shake off the cobwebs! However, Diaz may not give her the chance, hitting the ropes and going for a low Suicide Dive! Sangre is able to counter, throwing a wild Forearm Diaz’s way right as her head peeks out through the ropes! She’s hung halfway out of the ring now, and Sangre takes advantage, climbing onto the apron and trapping her with a Triangle Choke through the ropes! The move is perfectly legal, with Nigel Austin even asking Diaz if she can still continue so early on! Diaz quickly gets a rescue however, as Jed Coffey cuts in with a Running Knee that sends Sangre flying off the apron!

Sangre slowly gets to her feet, with Coffey quickly scooping her up and ramming her backfirst into the ringpost! He quickly pivots now, throwing her back up in the air and tossing her onto the apron with a Scoop Slam! Sangre is writhing in pain on the apron, but Coffey doesn’t give her a chance to catch her breath, getting her right back to her feet before going for a Powerbomb! He rushes across the ringside area, looking to throw her into the barricade! But Taza cuts in, catching Sangre out of midair before pushing her back to her feet! The two go on the attack now, with Taza jumping up to hit the Dropkick as Sangre swoops around and connects with a Leg Sweep! The shot rocks Coffey sending him back into the announce table as Turbo stands in the ring! Taza and Sangre clear the way, allowing for her to hit the ropes and go for a Suicide Dive to send him crashing through the desk! But Layla Diaz reintroduces herself to the equation, catching Turbo midrun with a Hurricanrana that sends her into the ropes! Her head is hung on the middle rope now as Leah Aguero comes in from the apron, supplying a Big Boot! Turbo staggered back into the ring now, with Aguero hopping over the top rope to assist Diaz with dual Dropkicks!

Meanwhile at ringside, Jed Coffey has recovered, getting a hand around the throats of Taza and Sangre before going for a Double Chokeslam at ringside! He throws the two up into the ropes, but this proves to work to his detriment as they bounce back to their feet off of them at ringside! The duo work together now, clobbering Coffey with a Double Lariat that sends him over the announce table now! Coffey is in a heap behind the desk, giving Taza and Sangre an idea! The two begin to push the table from up front, looking to smother Coffey underneath it! They’re able to get some slight headway, but are ultimately cut off by Diaz and Aguero! The two clobber Taza and Sangre from behind, throwing them into each other with dual Irish Whips before taking them down in their own separate ways from there! Diaz hits a Schoolboy Roll Up Feint onto Taza, before jumping up catching her with a Superkick when she’s up on her knees, while Aguero simply drives Sangre down with a Snap German Suplex! The two get to their feet, but fail to realize that Turbo has as well, with the high-flyer taking flight to hit a Suicide Dive to the pair!

Turbo helps Sangre and Taza to their feet, reigniting their plan to eliminate Jed Coffey from the equation! The three step behind the desk, throwing wild stomps onto Coffey to keep him at bay! The three then make their way in front of the table, with the combined effort of the trio making it nearly effortless to topple it onto Coffey! Aguero and Diaz slowly make it to their feet, coming to the realization of what Las Olvidadas have done, and what it means for them now! The two try to get the jump on them early to offset the disadvantage they’re in, but the 2-on3 deficit is too much to power back from! The three Shieldmaidens batten down Diaz and Aguero, with Taza and Sangre, throwing Aguero headfirst into the ringpost with an Irish Whip, before the three throw Diaz back into the ring! Diaz looks up now, seeing that she’s now at a 3-on-1 disadvantage! She still doesn’t back down however, immediately attempting to rush Taza first to get control back over the match! Taza catches her with a Knee to the midsection however, hunching her over and hitting her with the BOOM BOOM! AX AND SMASH CONNECTS!! Diaz staggers back, right onto a CABACERA FROM SANGRE!! SHE GETS ALL OF THE HEADBUTT!! Diaz is on the mat now, leaving an opening for Turbo to get her shot in, jumping from the top rope to hit the TURBO BOOST!! BME CONNECTS!! Turbo with the cover!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Just then a steel chair can be seen sliding underneath the bottom rope!

THREE-

Pin broken up by Leah Aguero, who leathers Turbo right across the back with a steel chair! Taza tries to step in now, but Aguero catches her with the chair over the head as well! Sangre turns Aguero around, only for her chair to be shoved right into her midsection! Aguero opens up the chair and sets it on the mat, before grabbing Sangre by the head and jumping up onto it! She uses the chair as a platform to jump up to the top rope now, before taking Sangre’s head to the mat with a Tornado DDT right onto the midsection of Turbo! The War Queen stacks the two up, going for a pin on both of them!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Pin broken up by Taza! She gets Aguero to her feet, throwing her shoulder-first into the ringpost! She turns around, only to be faced with a now recovered Layla Diaz who throws towards the set chair with a Hurricanrana! Taza is seated upside down on the chair now as Diaz takes the ropes, sending her crashing through the chair with a Springboard Moonsault! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Pin broken up by Turbo and Sangre! The two rose up just in time to come down onto Diaz before collapsing back to the mat! All six competitors in this match are out of it as the crowd begins to whip into a frenzy at the action we’re seeing here!

Crowd: FIGHT FOR-EVER!
clap clap clap clap clap
FIGHT FOR-EVER!
clap clap clap clap clap

Leah Aguero is the first to make a move, rolling out of the ring and reaching under the ring and taking out a table before throwing it under the bottom rope and into the ring! She tries to follow it in, but Taza runs the ropes and hits a Basement Dropkick to the table, sending it straight into Aguero’s face! She falls ringside, leaving Layla Diaz once again alone with Las Olvidadas as Turbo and Sangre make it to their feet! They hold Diaz on her knees by the arms as Taza takes to the corner! She runs up to a defenseless Diaz, looking for El Martillo! But she gets cut off from hitting the Hidden Blade, catching a HUGE Lariat from a returning Jed Coffey! Diaz and Taza roll out of the ring now, as Sangre and Turbo try to get the jump on him! But Coffey starts to lay them out as well, each of them eating their own Lariats before rolling over into separate corners! Coffey runs over to Sangre and catches her with a Knife Edge Chop! He rushes over to Turbo now, catching her with a Knife Edge Chop as well! He Irish Whips Turbo into Sangre before hitting a Running Corner Splash to both of them and taking them out of the corner! He hits the ropes and hits both of them with a Clothesline over the top rope, making them join Taza, Diaz, and Aguero at ringside! The five of them start to work their way up to their feet, before Coffey hits the ropes and dives onto all of them with a TOPE SUICIDA!! Everyone’s in a heap at ringside…everyone except for Turbo, who got out of the way at the very last second and came out of the dive unscathed! She goes in and picks Leah Aguero out of the pile before throwing her back into the ring! Turbo sets up the table from earlier now, before picking her up and setting her on top! She goes to the top rope, setting up before going for the Turbocharger! But NO!! Turbo misses the Phoenix Splash, with Aguero rolling off the table and leaving her to crash through it alone! Aguero rolls over to the corner before making it back to her feet, seeing Turbo on her hands and knees trying to get up now! Aguero takes advantage to finish her off, hitting Turbo with the ENDGAME!! PUNT KICK CONNECTS!! Aguero falters now, collapsing onto Turbo for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…and STILL Zion Wrestling TRIOS CHAMPIONS…THE SECOND CITY! RIOT SQUAD!

Eddie Red Apples: This match was a car crash! It was brutal! It was carnage! But in the end the Second City Riot Squad weathered the storm!

Amber Westgate: Don’t sleep on Las Olvidadas though, Eddie! Those three badass bikers gave the Trios Champions the fight of their life to retain those belts!

SCRS celebrate as we fade out!

WINNERS: SCRS (VIA PINFALL)
CHAMPIONSHIPS RETAINED

[Kai Morgan]

We find ourselves in the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Diamond Steele. She chuckles as she moves her hands through her hair as she glances at three championships that she is wearing. Each of them are from different promotions. She cracks an evil grin as she nods her head as her aqua haired cousin just smiles looking into the camera.

Ruby: All bloody hail to the best champion in all of this company.

Sapphire: By best what my sister is trying to say is that it won’t be long until be beat the Regulators and the Gem Stones will be firmly in position to challenge for the Tag Titles. Just wait because if we have our way all of us will be drenched in gold.

Ruby smiles as she begins to scream out at the top of her lungs.

Ruby: And when that happens it is going to be a sight that is truly, and wonderfully outrageous!

Diamond smirks as she can’t help but speak some more.

Diamond: On paper I know all of that sounds amazing doesn’t it?! Honestly we can just admire how AMAZING I am however?! I mean last Sunday in a different wrestling company I just became yet another champion. That is three separate promotions where I am holding a championship. Let’s be real who in this company is as good as I am?! I highly doubt that anybody is close to my level. I know I am that good. I know I am the woman that needs to be beaten and nobody will be able to dethrone me!

Diamond looks at her titles as she holds the You Tube championship high into the air.

Diamond: I mean winning the You Tube Championship was only the first step. In another company becoming their Conquest Champion was also amazing but now I just became a Roulette Champion and that just brings me to the fact that I am basically untouchable. I am the best at my craft and I am better than each and every single one of you. So as I look at this You Tube Championship I know that I will have a fight ahead of me…

Diamond keeps her eyes on the championship as she begins to crack a grin.

Diamond: Oh it’s not because of Lily Lopez either. It’s not like she’s any good because we all know that she sucks. It has to do with the simple fact that Lily just flat out sucks. She isn’t on my level and she damn sure could never lace my boots. Obviously she has to admire me. I am the Mistress of the Microphone, the Glittering Goddess, the Sadistic Siren, the Shining Star, the Sparkling Sensation, and the Conqueror of Catch Wrestling. She just doesn’t measure up to me and at Battle Born I am going to do what I do best. I am going to enter the ring with one single purpose.

Ruby nods her head as she grins wide.

Ruby: Oh My God…. I bet it’s going to be really outrageous!

Sapphire: I bet Diamond is just going to be that woman to a bloody pulp.

Diamond: To be honest it doesn’t matter what people think. The reality is I am going to do whatever it takes to walk away as champion. So Lily try to do everything in your power to win. Show me you want this more than me. I have a feeling is just won’t be enough though. By the end of the match all you will here is the words AND STILL… See you soon… Tap or Snap…. It’s your choice…

With that all of the Gem Stones crack a wicked grin as we go elsewhere.



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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: And it is for the Zion Wrestling YOUTUBE! CHAMPIONSHIP!



'Dark Horse' begins to play as purple smoke billows out of the entranceway. Lily Lopez emerges through the smoke to a chorus of cheers from the fans. Lily was all smiles as she skip steps to the ring, making sure to greet as many fans ringside as possible before sliding into the ring and taking the center. She raises both arms in the air and then points out to the fans, getting ready to compete.



Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of unanimous boos. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more boos. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who boo louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…the challenger…being accompanied to the ring by Jessica Anderson…from Seattle, Washington…weighing in at 110 lbs…Lily! Lopez!

And her opponent…representing the Gemstones…from London, England…weighing in at 110 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling YOUTUBE! CHAMPION!...”The Siren”...Diamond! Steele!



Lopez doesn’t wanna waste time here, deciding to immediately rush for Steele right off the bell! This lack of patience startles Steele, who backs into the ropes in order to avoid her! El Alguacil, the official for this match, steps between Lopez and Steele, telling Lopez to stand back as Steele gets from between the ropes! Steele gets herself out of the ropes, before quickly swooping around Lopez for a Waistlock! Lopez is in trouble now, only made worse by Steele quickly taking her to the mat with a Shoot Throw! Lopez tries to get to her feet after, but a seated position is all she can muster before Steele gets right back on her with a grounded Waistlock! She begins to try and squeeze the life out of the underdog as the official begins to ask if she gives up! Lopez refuses to give in, but Steele is still determined to kill the pace of this match, making sure to wear out the diaphragm in order to impact her stamina!

Lopez eventually finds a route of escape, willing herself up to a knee before taking Steele to the mat with a Hip Toss! Steele pops back up to her feet, running straight into a Dropkick from Lopez! She gets back up again, another Dropkick being landed on her from Lopez! She gets up once more, with Lopez already hitting the ropes and catching her with a Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissor! Steele rolls right out of the ring, not wanting to give Lopez any more leighway to pick up the pace of this match! She scales the ringside area, looking for a way to approach as Lopez stares daggers at her from inside the ring, eventually Jessica Anderson grows impatient, approaching Steele from the other side of the ring and telling her to get back in! Steele acquiesces, rushing back into the ring under the bottom rope!

Lopez is back on her almost immediately, going for a Hurricanrana! But Lopez pushes her off, flipping her to her feet before catching her with a Running Knee Strike that sends her to the mat like a ton of bricks! Steele gets back on her, strapping in an Anaconda Vice in order to apply pressure to the freshly wounded head! Lopez is a bit out of it, not being able to get the motion going needed to escape as easily! She starts to move closer to the edge of the ring slowly, before finally being able to land a foot on the bottom rope! Steele is infuriated as El Alguacil tells her to release the hold, so much so that she uses the full count of four to do so! She makes sure to stay within the rules for this one, knowing that a DQ loss will result in her losing her title! She gets to her feet, looking to approach the prone Lopez near the ropes again! But she trips Steele forward, leaving her head to be hung over the middle rope! Lopez takes full advantage of this, hitting the ropes before rushing over for a Tiger Feint Kick! But, familiar with this move, Steele gets out of the way, frantically escaping the ropes to avoid the double boots to her face!

Lopez's feet hit the mat, with Steele almost immediately scooping her up for a German Suplex! Lopez flips out of it however, landing on her feet behind Steele and catching her by surprise with a Poisonrana! Steele’s head bounces off the mat as she rolls back to her knees, leaving a perfect opening for Lopez to jump up and catch her with an Enzigiri to send her down in earnest! She goes for the first pin of this contest!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Steele! Lopez gets Steele back to her feet, looking to send her into the corner! But Steele reverses, sending her into the corner instead! She lays into Lopez with a few strikes to keep her at bay, before stepping back and rushing over for a Yakuza Kick! But Lopez gets out of the way, leaving Steele’s leg trapped on the top rope! Lopez takes advantage now, sending a Stomp straight to Steele’s thigh! She follows up, climbing up to the top rope right in front of Steele and launching off to catch her with Blockbuster! The slam turns her inside out, with Steele landing face down on the mat! She proceeds to follow up, looking for a Springboard Moonsault across Steele’s back to keep her down! But Steele gets up to her knees at the last possible moment, leaving Lopez to faceplant on the mat! Her head bounces off the canvas, bringing Lopez to her knees as well! Steele sees an opportunity to inflict pain, straight on socking Lopez right in her jaw with a stiff, very closed-handed punch!

El Alguacil steps in now, reprimanding Steele for her brutal and unnecessary treatment of her challenger! Steele feigns discipline, apologizing for the instance before noticing Lopez getting up again and decking her with another stiff punch, this one landing right in her mouth! By this point it's frighteningly apparent that Lopez has been knocked loopy, with blood even starting to fill her mouth a bit as the referee goes to check on her and ask if she feels she can continue! Steele isn’t wasting any time in fear of giving Lopez room to recover, grabbing her before she can even answer the question and throwing her face first into the middle turnbuckle in the corner! She rams her face into it again and again and AGAIN, before turning her face towards the looming Destiny sign hanging in the rafters and pinning her head against the turnbuckle with her knee! She begins to taunt Lopez, telling her that her view of the sign is as close to the show as she’s gonna get! El Alguacil steps in once again now, starting a five count on Steele until she releases Lope at the last possible moment! Alguacil begins to shout disapproval for her actions in this contest so far, a shout that Steele doesn’t even listen to as she unloads a stiff Savate Kick to the back of Lopez’s head, forcing her face even further into the turnbuckle! She pulls her to the center of the ring, looking for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Lopez! Steele shakes her head, while looking right into the lens of the closest camera she can find, giving it a smirk, and saying “Guess she’s gonna have to die today, huh?” She pulls Lopez to her feet by her hair, an action that El Alguacil reprimands her for once again, Steele transitions her hold, taking her hand out of Lopez’s hair and instead putting it around Lopez’s arm, almost as though she’s giving her a friendly hug! She smiles at the official, sarcastically asking him “Better?” He steps back, with Steele taunting Lopez and the fans by touring her around the ring and showing her all fans she’s “disappointing”! The taunting eventually gives Lopez some much needed time to recover, with the challenger pushing Steele away and slipping a Superkick right underneath her jaw! Steele staggers in the center of the ring, allowing Lopez to hit the ropes and going for a Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors that sends Steele headfirst into the ropes! Lopez looks to capitalize, landing a Tiger Feint Kick right across Steele’s face! Steele staggers back once again, with Lopez running over to the corner and climbing to the top rope! She launches off, taking Steele to the mat with a FLYING CROSSBODY!! LOPEZ’S SIGNATURE CONNECTS!! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Kick out by Steele! Lopez remains undeterred, however, slowly climbing back up to the top rope! She launches off, looking for the Lily Pad Splash! But Steele rolls out of the way! Lopez knows better this time however, landing her feet to avoid crashing to the mat! She flips back, looking for a Moonsault to Steele instead! But she avoids that as well, getting her legs up at the last possible moment to send them into the side of Lopez’s face! She staggers back into the corner, leaving an opening for Diamond to run over and hit a Yakuza Kick! She pulls Lopez out of the corner, running the ropes before taking her to the mat with a FLOATOVER DDT!! STEELE GETS THE SIGNATURE!! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Kick out by Lopez! Steele is a bit worried now, thinking that the brutality she’s put Lopez through in this match would net her the three! She gets to her feet, waiting for Lopez to make it up as well! When she does, Steele jumps to action, looking for the Diamond Cutter! But Lopez pushes her away before going for another Superkick! Steele ducks underneath it, with Lopez accidentally striking El Alguacil instead! The referee is out of it, with Lopez feeling remorseful for what she's done! Steele wastes no time in taking advantage however, getting hold of Lopez for a German Suplex! Lopez reverses however, flipping to her feet off the throw and catching Steele with a Double Foot Stomp to the chest! She takes advantage now, getting to the top rope before landing the LILY PAD SPLASH!! THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS!! Lopez goes for the pin, but El Alguacil is still out of position, unable to count it! She looks on disappointedly as the crowd chants!

Crowd: ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE…!

FOUR…!

Lopez becomes even more disappointed, with the crowds chanting making it clear that she could’ve had this match won by now! She gets to her feet, dragging Steele up with her in order to hit another move! But Steele quickly responds, cocking her fist back as far as she’s able to and decking Lopez with a third stiff punch, this time across the temple! Lopez falters to the mat, clearly completely out of it as Steele scans the space! She notices El Alguacil still on the mat, and all she can do is smile! Steele rolls out of the ring, pushing Alex Lawson and the timekeepers out of the way en route to her belt in the timekeeper’s area! She rushes back into the ring, getting ready to deck Lopez with a belt shot as she gets to her feet! But just then, Jessica Anderson steps in, yanking the YouTube! Title away from Diamond Steele! The champion is petrified now, backing away from Lopez’s best friend as she knows exactly what her next move will be! Anderson cocks back the belt, with Steele closing her eyes and expecting the worst as Anderson swings the belt and smashes it…over LILY’S HEAD!! Steele looks up in complete shock as Lopez hits the mat right beside her, Anderson looking down on her best friend with a face full of disdain as she drops the belt and exits the ring, walking up the rampway to a chorus of boos.

Steele scans the ring, watching as El Alguacil starts to come to! She acts quickly, pushing the belt out of the ring and covering Lopez!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…and STILL Zion Wrestling YOUTUBE! CHAMPION…DIAMOND STEELE!

Eddie Red Apples: I-I’m speechless…what the hell did we just see?!

Amber Westgate: We just saw Lily Lopez get betrayed by her best friend and it just cost her the YouTube! Championship!

Eddie Red Apples: NO! This isn’t right! Restart the match, dammit!

Amber Westgate: I don’t think that it’s gonna do Lopez much good! She looks to be out cold!

Steele looks down at Lopez then up the ramp in confusion! However her perplexion is hampered when El Alguacil hands her the belt! She raises it over her head, celebrating as we fade out!

WINNER: DIAMOND STEELE (VIA PINFALL)
CHAMPIONSHIP RETAINED

[Kai Morgan]

Alex Lawson: “Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is a standard contest. Coming to the ring first, standing at five feet ten inches and one hundred sixty-five pounds, hailing from Canberra, Australia… KASEY KASH!”

Silence… nothing… the lights in the arena dim as we hear… nothing. This goes for about twenty five seconds, that is until we hear an electric guitar riff being played in the background, the volume slowly but surely increasing for about another twenty five seconds, that is until we hear the vocals screamed through the speakers.

FEAR ME
I AM DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENCE
I AM THE VIOLENCE EMBEDDED IN FLESH
I AM THE PAIN IN THE BONES OF THE MORTAL SHELL
THE DARK HEART OF THE EARTH
I AM HELL!
I AM HELL!

At this point, Kasey Kash has made his way through the curtain, he stands and looks out, listening to the loudest set of boo’s he has ever heard in his life, and as he stands there, as the song continues to play in the background, he smirks, before flipping the crowd a defiant double bird. He stands there and basks in the hatred, accepting it.

FEAR ME
I AM DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENCE
I AM THE VIOLENCE EMBEDDED IN FLESH
I AM THE PAIN IN THE BONES OF THE MORTAL SHELL
THE DARK HEART OF THE EARTH
I AM HELL!

Kasey is joined at the top of the stage by Beau Haste, JahJah and his fiance, Erika Crawford, before they look back down at the ring and continue their path down the ramp, with Kasey savouring every second of it. Walking past a fan, taking full advantage of the fact they can’t touch him by shoving that fan in the face as hard as he can, sending him back onto the floor. Kasey continues on his way as the fan tries to go for him before he is held back by security.

YOU WILL KNOW PAIN
YOU WILL SEE THE TRUE FACE OF PANIC
DEVASTATION NOW AND FOREVER
REIGN OF DARKNESS

Kasey makes his way up the steps and looks out over the crowd, flipping them the middle finger before he gets into the ring, hopping over the top rope and standing in the center of the ring, arms spread wide as he soaks in the reaction he’s getting.

You will know pain
YOU WILL SEE THE TRUE FACE OF PANIC
DEVASTATION
NOW AND FOREVER
REIGN OF DARKNESS

Kasey lowers his arms, looking out over the crowd again, before setting his sight directly on the entrance ramp.
FEAR ME
I AM DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENCE
I AM THE VIOLENCE EMBEDDED IN FLESH
I AM THE PAIN IN THE BONES OF THE MORTAL SHELL
THE DARK HEART OF THE EARTH

And on the final beat of the song, he sits cross legged facing the stage, not breaking his stare.

I AM HELL!

And the lights in the arena return to normal as Kasey is sat there, awaiting his opponent.

Alex Lawson: “And his opponent, standing at five feet eleven inches and one hundred ninety pounds, hailing from Laredo, Texas… Zachary Porter!”

The lights go out. The haunting ballad of “Lux Aeterna” begins to play. As the son plays the lights don’t come back on, the haunting ballad continues to play. Finally the fans are given relief as the lights in the arena come back to life. Already in the ring sitting on the mat, sitting in the corner is Zachary Porter wearing a leather jacket. Intense focus can be read on his face. His eyes are closed as the song continues to play. The minute the song stops he opens his eyes. He doesn’t move until the match starts.


The referee points to the tie keeper, who rings the bell. Neither man moves at first, instead glaring at each other. Slowly they leave their corners and circle. No one can quite hear what Kasey is saying to Zachary, but the smirk on his face betrays it’s likely a slew of well-placed insults. For his part, the Texas seems to ignore it before both men lock up at the shoulders. There is a momentary struggle before Zach drives Kasey back to the ropes. He holds him in place as the referee counts before finally slamming a loud chop across his chest. The referee admonishes Zachary to back off, which he does.

Kasey rubs his chest, glaring. The second he sees Zachary’s back turned, Kash stomps the Texan in the back of the knee. Zachary drops to a knee. The Australian grabs him by the back of the hair and slams his face to the canvas, immediately stomping a mudhole into the back of Porter’s head. The referee attempts to get him to back up but Kasey shoves him back. This riles the official, who gets in his face and warns him to not touch him again or he’s disqualified. Kasey looked frustrated, realizing he has to actually listen to this little pissant and give him what he wants… for now.

Kasey leans down and grabs Zachary around the waist, heaving him up. He pulls the man closer to a corner and throws him over and backwards in a belly-to-back suplex… but his positioning makes sure the crown of Zachary’s skull slam into the top of the ringpost. He drops Porter like a trashbag, smiling as she sees his enemy cradling the back of his skull.
Kasey runs back to the opposite corner then launches himself when he sees Zachary starting to rise. He rams a Yakuza kick into Porter’s face, dropping him again. He immediately goes for a pin.

One…

T--

Zachary powers out of the pin, shaking the hit off angrily. Kasey turns and screams into the official’s face, spittle spraying forth, about not counting fast enough. The referee assures him it was a one count and holds up his middle finger to illustrate the number.
Kash is almost impressed at the rudeness.

Kasey reaches down to pull Zachary up. Instead, Zachary rises, sliding Kasey onto his back, spinning him around, and hurling him to the mat in an Alabama slam.

Porter, his face turning red with anger from Kash’s early attacks, begins his repayment, dropping a falling fist between Kasey’s eyes, putting all of his weight behind it. The ring shakes with the impact. Perhaps out of hope, or inexperience, he attempts a pin. There isn’t even a one count before the Australian tosses him off, swearing.

Kasey bounds up, yelling at the younger fighter, shoving him. The second his hands touch Zachary’s chest, Porter uppercuts him across the jaw and shoves him back. Kasey blinks for a moment, stunned, then throws the punch right back. The two men explode towards each other, just throwing punches as stiffly as possibly, aiming for each other’s faces.

It becomes apparent to Kasey that the larger man is hitting harder, even if only a little. If there were weapons, though, he knows he’d be destroying this greenhorn. But the referee is right there, watching.

But, he thinks, what if he wasn’t? An evil smile spread across his face. As Zachary threw a punch at Kasey, Kash managed to grab his arm and spin him around before sending him into the referee. Both Porter and the referee spilled to the canvas. Kasey ran to the ropes, bounded off them, and ran towards both men. Leaping, he Kasey landed with one boot on Zachary’s face and the other on the back of the official’s neck.

“Oops,” Kasey mutters. He drops to check the referee, seeing if he is out. Fortune smiles – he is. Just to be sure, he heaves the official up and tosses him from the ring. Kash looks back at Porter, seeing him stirring in pain, then rolls out of the ring himself. Sliding under the ring, Kasey throws out some chairs and a toolbox. As he returns, he looks over at the barricades and notices one of the chains on the barricade is loose and not padlocked. He runs over and grabs it before tossing the chairs into the ring while Beau and JahJah drag the official to a corner outside the ring.

Kasey walks over and sets onto Zachary. Wrapping the chain around his fist, he begins pounding on the greener grappler. Zachary throws up his arms in attempt to protect his face. Eventually, Kasey wraps the chain around Zachary’s neck and starts choking him while stomping on his back.

The fans heckle and boo Kasey’s underhanded tactics, getting behind Zachary. Porter gasps, trying to pull away, before Kasey gives him one final stomp.

Zachary raises his hand, drinking in the hate before returning to Porter. Zachary slowly stumbles up, shaking off his cobwebs. Kasey throws a cheap left to Zachary’s face, backing him up. He attempts a right hook but Zachary ducks out of the way before rabbit punching him. The hit is followed by a second before Zachary throws a shoulder into Kasey and hurls him back to the ropes.

Zachary begins throwing knees up into Kasey’s gut while wrapping his arm around the back of Kash’s head. Navigating him backwards, Porter manages to ddt him onto one of the chairs. Zachary rolls him over for a pin. He waits for a count but none come. He looks up confused. As he does, Kasey throws a chain wrapped fist into his eye.

Porter pulls himself off, clutching his eye. He can already feel the swelling. Kasey, however, looks invigorated as he lunges at Zachary, swinging the chain and whipping Zachary around the arms and chest. Zachary raises a wrist, letting the chain wrap around it, and yanks Kasey into a jaw punch. Kasey does lose grip of the chain and stumbles back before grabbing a chair.

As Zachary approaches Kasey, the Australian tosses the chair to him. Zachary is momentarily confused before does a standing dropkick into the chair, driving it into the greenhorn’s face.

Zachary doesn’t fall this time, but angrily slams the chair to the ground, breaking it into bent pieces. He rushes at Kasey, but dirty fighting with weapons is Kash’s forte. He bobs and weaves, managing to avoid most of the slashes. Most, but not all as Zachary manages to get a few cuts on him.

Kasey continues to use the chain and every dirty trick possible mainly aiming for Zachary’s eyes and nose. He quickly gets color on Porter, and spoon the canvas is beginning to look more and more like a Jackson Pollock painting.

Zachary, however, does his best to continue to do wrestling maneuvers, trying more than once to take Kasey down to the mat. He does eventually manage to do so, groundpounding on Kash as best he can. He is momentarily distracted as Beau calls out, “Kasey, catch!” Zachary looks up, glaring at the man – but Beau doesn’t toss a weapon or even come close to entering the ring. Distracted, Zachary is shoved off by Kasey, who scrambles to grab a chair. Zachary continues in hot pursuit, but Kasey gets hold of the remaining, whole chair, and spins and brings it down across Zachary’s face. The Texan falls down and Kash begins mercilessly beating Porter over and over, not noticing the figure sliding dazed into the ring.

Kasey raises the bloody chair once more, preparing to bring it down on Zachary’s head. He throws his hands forward and finds them suddenly empty. He whirls around to see what happened and sees the referee up, awake, and holding the bloody chair. The official blinks, taking in all the battle damage as Zachary stammers to find an explanation. As he’s distracted, Zachary spins Kasey around again and brings him to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker. The official drops to count.

One…

Two…

THREE!

The bell rings and Zachary rolls out of the ring as Kasey’s entourage storm in. The official follows Zachary, raising his hand.

Alex Lawson: “Ladies and gentlemen, your winner… ZACHARY PORTER!”

Zachary backs up the aisle, his arms raised, as Kasey glares holes into his head while he backs away.

Eddie Red Apples: And Zachary Porter will still meet the World Heavyweight Champion at Destiny after that hard fought match with a very game Kasey Kash!

Amber Westgate: But who will that champion be, Eddie? We’ll find out later tonight during the-- wait, what the Hell?!

The camera cuts to the ringside area where we see Kara “Killer” Carbajal with a steel chair in hand hop over the barricade and slide into the ring. Zachary Porter, who is clearly showing the signs of battle, turns around right into a vicious chair shot to the head from Carbajal!

Eddie Red Apples: My God! What a chair shot! Why the Hell is Carbajal doing this?!

Amber Westgate: My guess? Since she’s not involved in the Chamber match later tonight and she’s been after another shot at the World title, she’s planning on taking out the guy who has a guaranteed shot in hopes she’ll replace him.

The behemoth glares down at the fallen man and a sick smirk slowly forms on her lips as she drops the chair onto the mat and then grabs Porter by the head and pulls him up to his feet before hoisting him up in a suplex position.

Eddie Red Apples: Enough is enough damn it! Come on!

Amber Westgate: Kara clearly doesn’t think so, Eddie.

The Shieldmaiden then positions herself over the steel chair and then drops Porter with a Jackhammer right onto the steel chair in such a way that his head struck the chair more than anything else!

Eddie Red Apples: My God! That looked nasty! We need some damn help out here! And get that woman behind bars!

Amber Westgate: You know that won’t keep her away for long, Eddie. She’s a Shieldmaiden. She has connections. Remember the last time she was arrested?

KC chuckles as she looks down at her handiwork before she just shrugs nonchalantly and then proceeds to leave the ring and saunters her way up the ramp as EMT’s along with a stretcher rush past her as we cut elsewhere

WINNER: ZACHARY PORTER (VIA PINFALL)

[Kai Morgan]

The scene comes up backstage with Rayola Davine standing backstage. She has the GCW X-Division title dangling from her hand and her wings completely unfurled behind her.

Rayola Davine: They say you get one shot to make it big. I got this shot for doing what I had to do once before. Now I’m going to do what I have to do tonight.

Rayola shifts as she slings the belt over her shoulder.

Rayola Davine: You see this is the night. It quite literally is the night. Win here, go on to Destiny and main event with the World Heavyweight title. But, winning here is a lot easier said than done. This isn’t just a six-way dance. This is a damn Elimination Chamber, a cage literally built to eliminate people from competition. There’s only one who comes out of a match like this ever and the others languish in their failure.

Rayola’s wings flutter behind her as she shifts from one leg to the other.

Rayola Davine: I didn’t ask for this match. I didn’t know this was in store for me. In a lot of ways, I still have to learn a lot about this business. Maybe that will come back to haunt me somehow, but...

Rayola looks down a moment then smiles before she looks back up again.

Rayola Davine: I never said I was the best. Look at everyone who says that kind of shit these days. Sometimes they win, but when they lose, what does that say? Take a page from the Jedi handbook: “there’s always a bigger fish.” There’s always going to be someone out there who wants what you have. Someone out there who’s been training just that little bit harder. Someone who is going into their next match thinking they are hot shit. Then they face you and they turn out to be just as hot as they said after all. That’s why I always know where I stand everywhere I go and in everything I do.

Rayola lifts her head up slightly, her wings flap higher with her.

Rayola Davine: Everyone in this match has their drives, their motives, their desires, their own egos, and yes I’m no exception to it. The difference is though, I say I will fly from this match with the title, knowing full well the odds are not in my favor. Even if I’m the last person to be released, even if all the others are eliminated before that happens, even if the last remaining competitor is exhausted, I’ll be fighting an uphill battle. I’m prepared for that. None of my opponents got here simply as a favor. One is the champion herself. Two fought for their spots, the other two have been fighting and impressed enough. I’m part of that last group as well. That’s where I stand in this match.

Rayola takes a deep breath and nods into the camera.

Rayola Davine: So now you know my mindset tonight. I’m carrying this belt to remind… certain others that trying to mindgame me, trying to get under my skin, should have happened awhile back. You lost that opportunity and now I’m standing here, against you, the champ and the rest, and I’m telling all of you, not just to watch me fly, but watch me fight as well.

Rayola smirks one more time.

Rayola Davine: Watch me… believe in everything I am and leave the chamber with the World Heavyweight title.

Rayola winks at the camera before the scene fades out.



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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: And it is for the Zion Wrestling WORLD! TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONSHIPS!





The tron would glitch out, as the tempo of Sabotage would pick up whilst the crowd would sing the two to the ring as they would hype up the crowd whilst making their way down the ramp and slapping the fan's hands down the way.

"Iiiiiiii can't stand it!
I know ya planned it!
I'ma set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking, when I'm in here!
Cause ya crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So, while ya sit back and wonder why
I got this fuckin thorn in my side!
Oh my God, it's a mirage!
I'm telling ya'll, it's SABOTAAAAGE!!!"

As the breakdown hits, the two enter the ring while viking to the record scratching and baseline of their theme, as the two hacktivists would pose briefly as their theme would start to fade out while they're readying for their opponent.

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Coney Island, New York…at a combined weight of 299 lbs…the team of Austin St. Croix and Sayge Gonzalez…The Data! Dames!

And their opponents…at a combined weight of 241 lbs…the team of Amara Sterling and Lynn D’Agosto…VAMPS!

Before the bell rings, the referee takes out a bag handed to him by the timekeepers! He takes out two belts, seemingly the brand new World Tag Team Championships!

Sayge Gonzalez and Amara Sterling start the match off for their respective teams! Gonzalez is ready and raring to go, looking to pounce right onto Sterling to start things off! Sterling is having none of it however, scrambling out of the ring at the mere sight of the big woman rushing towards her! Nigel Austin, the official for this match, heavily instructs her to re-enter the ring in order to continue the match, but she tells him that she’s not coming back into that ring until she backs Gonzalez up! Austin reluctantly agrees, telling Gonzalez to back into her corner once again, a demand that gets a lot of obvious pushback from the hotheaded New Yorker! She proceeds to argue with the official, leaving her occupied long enough for Sterling to rush back into the ring behind her and hit with a Chop Block that sends her to a knee! She hits the ropes now, looking to catch the kneeling Gonzalez with another move! But she gets caught by surprise with Gonzalez nailing her with a Shoulder Tackle!

Sterling immediately scrambles to get to her feet, with Gonzalez right there behind her to hit her with a Hangman’s Neckbreaker! She drags her over to her corner, before tagging in Austin St. Croix! She gets Sterling in a Catapult position as St. Croix scales to the top rope! Gonzalez launches her towards the corner, just in time before St. Croix to take her to the mat with a Diving Savate Kick! St. Croix goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Sterling! St. Croix gets right back on Sterling, applying a Surfboard Stretch! St. Croix makes the wise decision to target the midsection of Sterling, knowing that it must be damaged following the Ladder Match she had the night before! She makes sure to wrench the arms back repeatedly, ensuring that she’s milking this hold for all the damage that she can get out of it! She eventually releases the hold, knowing that it’s not going to lead to submission, yet not caring, seeming to have different goals in mind! She gets back onto Sterling nailing her with a Elbow and Knee Strikes right to her midsection to cause further damage! She gets Sterling to her feet, hitting her with a Calf Kick, then a Forearm, before hitting the ropes and going for a Hurricanrana! Sterling reverses however, catching her out of midair and throwing her into the corner with a Bucklebomb! She immediately falters, just barely managing to get the tag to Lynn D’Agosto before rolling out of the ring! D’Agosto rushes over to the corner that St. Croix is in and nailing her with a skull-rattling European Uppercut! She throws her out of the corner, taking to the middle rope and catching her in the back of the head with a Double Ax Handle! St. Croix falls to knee on the mat, leaving an opening for D’Agosto to run the ropes and nail her with a Soccerball Kick! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by St. Croix! D’Agosto gets a bit frustrated now, on the verge of losing her cool as she begins to lay into St. Croix with a set of vicious Stomps! She gets St. Croix back to her feet, looking to throw her across the ring with an Irish Whip! But she reverses, sending D’Agosto into the ropes instead! She returns, immediately taking St. Croix to the mat with a Big Boot before hitting the adjacent ropes! St. Croix shakes off the cobwebs however, moving into position to catch D’Agosto off guard with Drop Down as she returns! She gets to her feet now, waiting for D’Agosto to return once again to get the LeapFrog! D’Agosto returns once again, this time catching a Dropkick from St. Croix that sends her tumbling into the corner! She runs over to D’Agosto in the corner now, jumping up and taking her down to the mat with a Monkey Flip! But D’Agosto catches her by surprise, getting a full rotation and landing on her feet off the flip! She turns around, catching an approaching St. Croix with a Boot to the midsection before looking to drive her head to the mat with a Snap DDT! But St. Croix reverses, sending her down with a Hammerlock Suplex instead! St. Croix with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by D’Agosto! St. Croix gets her up to her feet, wrenching the arm before dragging D’Agosto over to her corner and tagging in Gonzalez! St. Croix goes for a Monkey Flip on D’Agosto with Gonzalez right there behind her to catch her out of midair with a Powerbomb! She pulls D’Agosto right back up, this time throwing her into a corner with a Bucklebomb! D’Agosto is rendered almost completely defenseless as Gonzalez drills her with a set of Shoulder Thrust into her midsection in the corner! She pulls her out of the corner now, taking her to the mat in the center of the ring with a Scoop Slam before running the ropes and looking for a Rolling Thunder Senton! D’Agosto is able to avoid the move however, getting the knees up just in the nick of time! Gonzalez recoils, getting up to a knee before D’Agosto rushes in with a Big Boot to the side of the head! She tags in Amara Sterling as Gonzalez continues to try and recover, with the Heartless Valentine coming in and hitting her over the side of the head with a Hesitation Dropkick! She gets Gonzalez to her feet, battering her with Forearm after Forearm before going for the ropes! She leaps at her, looking to take her down once again, but Gonzalez catches her out of midair! The crowd pops in excitement, sending amazingly strong Gonzalez walk around the ring with Sterling helplessly in her arms before she ultimately goes for the Fallaway Slam!

But Sterling lands on her feet behind Gonzalez, hooking her arms from behind before drilling her to the mat with a Tiger Suplex! Gonzalez attempts to get to her feet, but Sterling right back on her, looking for a Lifting DDT! But Gonzalez is having none of it, sending a few strikes to Sterling’s midsection before catching her with a European Uppercut! She staggers back now, tagging in Austin St. Croix before rolling out of the ring! St. Croix rushes in, immediately catching Sterling with a Lariat! Sterling pops up to her feet, only to be struck by another Lariat! She gets up once more, this time with St. Croix jumping up and delivering a Hurricanrana! Sterling crawls into the corner, with St. Croix in hot pursuit, hitting her with a Monkey Flip! She waits for Sterling to make it to her feet now looking for a Jumping Flash Kick! But Sterling moves out of the way of the Backflip Kick, leaving St. Croix to improvise and catch her with the JAILBREAKER INSTEAD!! BEAUTY SHOT CONNECTS!! Sterling is almost completely out of it, with St. Croix dragging her over to her corner and tagging in Sayge Gonzalez! They set up before throwing Sterling to the mat with GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM!! DOUBLE RELEASE REGALPLEX CONNECTS!! Gonzalez with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

NO! Lynn D’Agosto breaks up the pin at the last possible moment, clubbing Gonazlez in the back of the head! Gonzalez clutches her head, trying to get back into this as D’Agosto drags a now lifeless Sterling across the ring and to her corner, stepping onto the apron and tagging herself in on her before waiting for Gonzalez to make it to her feet before knocking her over the head with a SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! D’AGOSTO’S SIGNATURE CONNECTS!! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Gonzalez! D’Agosto looks to finish things off now, going for the Midas Touch! The Jagerbomb fails to connect however, with D’Agosto instead being thrown to the mat with a Hip Toss by Gonzalez! She gets D’Agosto back up, looking for Ctrl+Alt+Delete! But Amara Sterling returns now, weakly connecting with a Superkick to Gonzalez! She drops D’Agosto before faltering to the mat, with St. Croix now rushing in to come to her aid! She launches at Sterling, looking for the Jumping Flash Kick! But Sterling catches her, getting her in position before taking her down with STRAIGHT TO THE GRAVE!! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS!! St. Croix rolls out of the ring as D’Agosto and Sterling see Gonzalez rising to her feet! They rush her the moment she gets up nailing her with INVICTUS!! The pair bring Gonzalez to the mat, thinking this one is over!

But no, Gonzalez is surprisingly remaining resilient, trying her damnedest to make it to her feet despite the big move! Sterling and D’Agosto are in shock, but welcome her to get up once more, inevitably nailing her with a SECOND INVICTUS!! This time Gonzalez doesn’t move even slightly! The pair make the pin together now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!

NEW CHAMPIONS CROWNED

[Kai Morgan]

The picture in the dark room where the wall was affixed with the image of The Osaka Devil or Yukiko Kusanagi and Nami Megumi, and the sound of footsteps approaching the camera that had been set up appeared as the person walking in. The Devil of Chaos Maki Megumi walks with a knife. before staring at the camera and starting to talk.

Maki Megumi: The Osaka Devil? I've been hearing your name for a long time, Kusanagi-San, but this is the end of your devilic existence because at Zion Wrestling I am the devil and you are not! Today, tonight, is the day I will defeat you, Kusanagi-San. I am not afraid of you, and after I defeat you tonight, I will no longer care about you, so Kusanagi-San you want this place to believe that you are the devil but Unfortunately, it came to an end too soon. You just started your career here, but unfortunately you think you're the only devil here. But sorry, I'm the devil here in the first place, and you're not, and I'll show you that there's only one devil here and that's me. As for you, you will become whatever you want. Let me tell you why you're going to lose everything you do. Or are you going to lose everything you are? 'Cause I'm a stronger devil than you, I'm the one you can't win and tonight I'll prove what I said again that no matter how hard you try to beat me tonight, it will end in your failure. Kusanagi-San I see. Your efforts but you can't scare me. But you must be afraid of me because you can't know what will happen to you, that's my horror. I am ready to do anything to win, no matter how dirty the method is. If you want to be a winner, you can't choose how you have to win. Can you see what's in my hand? Yes, this is a knife, it's a weapon that can kill you, it's like You chose to come here and say you're a devil, and you know what you have to trade for it? Everything you have You will pay for the loss and despair that I am about to give you. I'm the devil coming to hunt devils tonight. I am your inevitable destiny. And this will be your lesson to you that you shouldn't challenge me.

Maki Megumi thrusts a knife into Yukiko Kusanagi's image and turns around to look at the camera with an evil smile and a look of distrust. She moved closer and closer to the camera before sitting on the ground and speaking again.

Maki Megumi: Even if you try, you will fail. tonight is the night of The Devil of Chaos, tonight will be the night you will never forget when there is only one devil but that's not you. No more, The Osaka Devil. As I said, you can prepare to say goodbye to your devil time now because the ending is coming. No one can save you from me tonight. When you face The Devil of Chaos, it will be the night you want to forget the most in your life. You think I'm scared of you? What do you have for me to fear? When you have nothing, because I have nothing to fear you at all. Don't think you're a terrible devil. You tried to scare me, but unfortunately it didn't work. You want me to scream for you tonight? Unfortunately it won't happen. Be careful, you'll be screaming in shame. Like I said, Kusanagi-San, I'm not going to scream at you. Don't even give what you want from me I will make everyone here see your weakness and pity. And it shows why someone like you doesn't deserve to be called a devil. When the devil can only have one and unfortunately you are not the devil of Zion Wrestling, this defeat will remind you that you should never challenge someone like me again. No matter what the reason tonight there will be no mercy for you. I will defeat you by any means. And you'll have to accept this defeat, even if you don't want to admit it, but it's a fate you can't avoid. Everything was predetermined that I was the one who got rid of you. I am the devil of Zion Wrestling and I am The Devil of Chaos. You can't escape this chaotic nightmare, Kusanagi-San. This is the end of the war between devils and when there is only one victor. I will be the one who walks out of this war with victory. As for you? It's just a weak devil.

Maki Megumi: It's too late to escape from this nightmare. You won't even have a chance to win this match... Like I said at the end of this match, The Devil of Chaos is the winner.



Alex Lawson: “Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is a standard contest. Coming to the ring first, standing at five feet five inches and one hundred twenty-five pounds, she is the Osaka Devil… YUKIKO KUSANAGI!”

BABYMETAL's "BxMxC" comes on over the PA system with its grueling guitar riff and thunderous drums, sending the crowd into a mixed reaction. Some cheer with bloodlust, others boo in disdain. The rest of the lights go out, leaving the audience shrouded in darkness as an eerie purple light illuminates the ring itself. The stage and ramp are lit up with plain white lights, violently flashing in sync with the music. As the music swells, the lights take on a more intense flashing, adding a purple hue among the whites. The crowd waits in anticipation as smoke fills the entryway as the music flows from the speakers, assaulting the ears of those present. The camera focuses intently on the entryway as the inner lights come on and, combined with the smoke, give off an almost ethereal, heavenly appearance. The video wall is alight with the visage of bloody barb wire and the name “草由紀子."

The wall of light within the entryway is disturbed by the visage of a black silhouette, soon coming into view to reveal Yukiko Kusanagi. Sleeveless robe over her gear, with her hood drawn up over her hood. We see her eyes though are, as always, cold and utterly hateful towards everyone present as they peer out over her black face mask. Her eyes then shift down the ramp and aim directly to the ring. Her battleground. Angel holds her position on the stage throughout the chorus and when the second verse begins, she shifts forward and begins her walk down the ramp. She completely ignores the fans in the front row, throwing jeers and boos at her. That which she sees as nothing more than scum beneath her. Angel moves methodically but with a sense of purpose as she approaches the ring. As she reaches the ring, she circles around to the opposite side of where she approached and stands on the apron, turning her head to sneer towards the fans again. Despite the sour attitude she gives off, she wipes her feet on the apron before entering the ring through the top and middle ropes at the return of the chorus.

she comes to stand in the center of the ring, continuing to just glare hatefully at any and everyone. One hand comes up to unclasp the buckle on her coat before he peels the hood back and slides the garment off of her body, dropping it to the floor for the ringside attendant to take while she goes to her corner and uses the ropes to get some stretching in. Finally, she turns towards the ramp with that ever hateful expression and calmly waits for the match to begin.

Alex Lawson: “And her opponent for this match, standing at five feet four inches and one hundred ten pounds, she is the Devil’s Laugh… MAKI MEGUMI!!”

The lights are off! Before a mischievous laugh sounded from the darkness, a cloud of smoke rose before the sound of the music. The entire field of fire turns purple, the smoke fades to Maki, standing with a wicked smile and full of plots that many could not have guessed. She walks over to take the drink from a member of the audience, which she drinks in front of him. Giving a hearth laugh at the fan’s expense, she walks towards the ring, confidently spreading her arms.

Maki is pulling herself into the ring when Yukiko breaks into a run at her, dropkicking her across the head. Maki tumbles clumsily into the ring before scrambling to her feet. The official looks to the time keeper to ring the opening bell.


Yukiko immediately backs Maki into a corner, striking at her throat over and over before pushing Maki’s jaw up with her open palm and knife edge chopping her across the throat. The official finally gets her to back off, letting Maki stumble forward.

Maki immediately turns to the official, screaming about Yukiko’s dirty tactics. Normally the official would roll his eyes at the obvious attempt at distraction, but this time he’s forced to agree. The referee turns to Yukiko and reminds her a five count is the absolutely limit in the corner. The Osaka Devil only flashes a toothy smile at Maki, who shrinks in fear.

Yukiko backs up, letting Maki slowly get out of the corner. The two circle, with Maki looking like she wants to find a way to run as fast as she can. When Yukiko raises a hand for a test of strength, Maki aggressively shakes her head, “no.” Yukiko licks her lips in response, giving Maki a terrified shiver.

Yukiko breaks into a run at Maki, locking up at the shoulders. The two women struggle momentarily before Maki stomps on her foot and headbutts Yukiko in the mouth. Yukiko’s eyes grow wilder with this, licking her lips again with excitement. The taller Devil then grabs Maki by the hair and yanks her forward into a headbutt, filling the arena with a sickening crack sound. Maki stumbles back, blinking, before falling to her ass.

The referee scolds Yukiko for going for the hair. Yukiko ignores him and, in fact, grabs Maki by the head and flips her in a hairmare.

Maki’s body slams across the mat, skidding to a stop. She doesn’t even take time to gather her wits, instead clawing her way to her feet and running for the safety of outside the ring. Maki rolls under the bottom rope and rushes to the barricade, bracing herself. A fan laughs in her face and she replies by spitting into his open mouth, grabbing his beer and pouring it on the child at his side.

Yukiko runs after, leaping onto the top rope and flipping off of it. She lands in a crossbody to the back of Maki, driving the smaller fighter into the barricade and pushing it towards fans. Yukiko stands but Maki melts to the floor, looking like she’s deflating. Yukiko smiles evilly as she pulls Maki up. She lifts her, holding her upside down, and walks towards the steel steps where she drops her package in a sit-out piledriver.

Maki falls limply to the side. Yukiko grabs her and slings her into the ring as the referee counts. Scaling the ringpost, Yukiko delivers a moonsault… intercepted by Maki’s legs. Yukiko collides with the waiting feet and is dumped to the side. Maki, still dazed, just lays on the mat collecting herself. The referee begins to count both women.

At six, Maki slowly climbs to her feet, rubbing her head. She sees Yukiko pulling herself up by the ropes. Maki rushes at them, grabbing top rope and swinging through the tables for a tiger feint kick. Yukiko raises a hand, catches the leg, and yanks. Maki immediately spills back outside the ring.

Yukiko whips herself off the ropes and rushes towards the side of the ring Maki’s one. She soars through the ropes with a bullet dropkick aimed for her opponent’s face. Maki manages to duck, watching Yukiko fly into the barricade. Instead of being hurt, the Osaka Devil lands against it and pushes off into a roll, landing on her feet.

Both women immediately lock up outside the ring, pushing each other back and forth. What starts as knife edge chops devolves into punches and swears, all the while the official counts. Finally, Yukiko grabs Maki by the wrist and launches her face-first into a ringpost. She then grabs her again and launches her into the other. Maki’s head klangs loudly and she stumbles back into Yukiko’s waiting arms which lock on a triangle choke.

Yukiko whips Maki side to side, tightening the hold. The referee stops counting and reminds the Devil the wins must happen in the ring. Yukiko seems completely unphased and only squeezes tighter while Maki grows more frantic.

Eventually, Maki’s movements start to slow more and more. She knows if she doesn’t do something, this fight is over and she’s at Yukiko’s mercy. Realizing her attacker’s back is to the ref, Maki also realizes he can’t see anything she’s doing. She smiles and sinks her teeth into Yukiko’s arm.

Pleasure and pain flash across Yukiko’s face as Maki’s teeth pushed in farther and farther, finally getting blood. Eventually, Maki was able to loosen the choke enough to breathe and, more importantly, flip Yukiko over. Maki dashes into the ring as the referee calls out, “Nine.” Hearing this, Yukiko hops up and pulls herself halfway into the ring as he raises his hand for ten, barely saving herself from a count-out. What she doesn’t save herself from, however, is a boot to the face from Maki.

Maki takes advantage of the momentarily stunned Yukiko and rips her all the way into the ring by her hair before stomping up and down her body. She backed off, letting Yukiko get up to her knees before giving her a running knee to the side of the head. Before Yukiko could fall over, Maki took hold of her and heaved her up and over in a snap suplex. Leaving her prone, Maki turned to the corner and scaled the turnbuckles.

Maki leaps off the ringpost, landing on Yukiko’s face in a double footstomp. She struts off the Osaka Devil, walking down the length of the downed woman’s form, before turning and sneering at her enemy’s pained face.

Maki grabs Yukiko by the feet and drags her from the corner and, more importantly, the ropes, before applying an Indian Deathlock. It’s the soda-masochist's turn to be in trouble as Yukiko jolts to life, trying to break free of the hold. Still, flickers of a grin spread across her face as jolts of pain rocket up her legs into her body. There are many competitors who’d be uncomfortable, even unnerved by this but Maki seems to not care a bit. She’s in control and that’s what matters.

Eventually, to Megumi’s annoyance, it becomes obvious Yukiko isn’t going to tap. If anything, she’s loving the hurt too much. Maki begrudgingly releases the hold and stands. Maki bends down and grabs Yukiko by the face – the fact she does so in a way that both of her thumbs dig into Yukiko’s eyes is for from accidental – and pulls her to her feet before hauling back and backhanding Kusanagi across the face.

Maki glares at Yukiko disdainfully as the sado-masochist backs up from the force. Yukiko takes a swing at Maki, who drops to splits as she ducks and Mario-punches upwards between Yukiko’s legs. It appears, at last, Maki’s found some pain the Osaka Devil doesn’t appreciate. Yukiko walks the agony off as the official scolds Maki, who is unimpressed by his threats of DQ. Instead, she shoves him into the ropes and breaks into a run at Yukiko for a clothesline.

Yukiko manages to duck the arm and instead grabs Maki around the waist, lifting her up and angrily dropping her to the canvas. Furious at the underhanded attack on her most sensitive area, she begins to mercilessly pummel Maki in the face. Maki shrieks in horror and terror as she attempts, and generally fails, to fend off the face strikes. Yukiko eventually hauls Maki up, swinging her around by the arm for a full three-sixty, before launching her into a corner. Megumi’s scarcely made impact before her attacker has mounted the ropes in the corner and returned to pounding her face in.

While the audience cheers this turn on, an all-to-familiar masked person runs down the aisle towards the ring. Hopping up onto the ring skirt directly behind the referee, the masked assailant slams what looks to be a sap across the back of the official’s skull. The referee drops like a ton of bricks, clutching the back of his skull.

As Yukiko corners a panicked Maki, the assailant hops into the ring and rushes at her. At the last possible second, Yukiko whirls around and stares down her attacker, who seems stunned and taken aback by being caught. The Osaka Devil tilts her head, almost like she’s studying this person.

The assailant suddenly recaptures their courage and takes a swing at Yukiko with the sap. Yukiko raises an arm and deftly blocks it. Her free hand grabs the attacker’s mask and yanks. While it doesn’t come off, it does catch them off-guard as Kusanagi throws them to the mat. She promptly straddles the attacker, sliding her fingers under the mask.

Instead of unmasking this person, Yukiko looks up at Maki and smiles as her fingers move violently under the mask, scraping and digging. The masked attacker flails in agony, doing their best to break free. Eventually, Yukiko withdraws her hands from the mask, her fingers covered in blood. Maki swallows nervously as Yukiko licks the digits clean, never breaking eye contact with the Devil’s Laugh.

The figure slowly gathers themselves to their feet, a dark, wet stain around the mouth and nose area of the mask. Yukiko greets them with a swift punch to the gut. As they double over, she slings them towards the ropes. The figure lands on the second rope, hanging half out the ring. Yukiko leaps over the ropes and rushes at them, slamming a draping big boot to the side of their head.

The figure goes limp, slipping off the ropes and landing onto the floor. Yukiko looks back into the ring and sees Maki nervously trying to sneak out. In a flash, the Osaka Devil is back in the ring and ripping Maki back to the middle of the ring by her hair. She slings Maki to the mat and slaps her into Fifty Shades of Pain, Yukiko’s inverted STF with her fingers fishhooking into Maki’s mouth.

Maki’s screams as best she can, spasming and trying to pull away. Eventually she slaps at the mat in submission. There’s only one issue – the referee is still dazed and confused from the attack earlier. Maki continues to tap, and Yukiko continues to apply the hold.

Eventually, after over a minute, the referee gathers his wits and sees Maki’s peril. He stumbles in the direction of the time keeper’s table, motioning for the bell. Finally, it rings.


Alex Lawson: “Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by submission… YUKIKO KUSANAGI!”

Yukiko seems loathe to release the hold but eventually relents. Maki scrambles like a wounded rat and runs from the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and up the aisle, where her masked accomplice is shambling away.

The referee moves to raise Yukiko’s hand. She glares at him, then offers a slow, toothy smile. Backing away, the official offers a nervous, “ta-da” hand gesture at her. For once, though, the fans are screaming her praises having seen her put Maki, the more hated of the two, down. Yukiko drinks it in, curiously looking around, before lurching from the ring and making her way up the ramp.


WINNER: YUKIKO KUSANAGI (VIA PINFALL)

[Kai Morgan]

BattleBorn cuts to the locker room area where Minka Carter is sitting down at a table. There is a Christmas nativity set laid out on the table. From the roof of a house that is featured on the set, there are a few porcelain angels hanging on the string that are hovering above the three wise men and baby Jesus.

Minka Carter: Look at this BEAUTIFUL picture… look at how everything is all light and shiny and perfect and oh so PRECIOUS! Look at the innocence of this scene, prosperity and joy flood the village known as Zion Wrestling. Oh look at the pretty angels…

Minka playfully toys with them, tapping the porcelain angels around from their strings, simulating how they are flying around the peaceful village.

Minka Carter: Look at how the angels fly! Look at how they protect the precious village. Look at how they are a RAY OF LIGHT TO THE VILLAGE… now watch them lose their wings…

Minka snips one of the strings, causing the porcelain angel attached to fall on the table and break a wing upon landing on it…

Minka Carter: Look at how they spin around and around and around… UNTIL THEY FALL!!!!

Minka takes the second angel and smashes it across the table.

Minka Carter: LOOK AT HOW THEY SUFFER AND TURN TO DUST!!!!!!!

Minka cuts the string of the final angel then pulls out a hammer out of nowhere and smashes the final angel to pieces… before doing the same thing with the other two she had damaged before.

Minka Carter: GET THE PICTURE YET?!?!?!? There can NEVER be peace in Zion! There can never be peace on Fusion. I am not going to let any sort of ANGEL… real or self-deluded and imaginary… COUGH RAYOLA COUGH… stand in my way. I have had it with the rainbows and puppy dogs around here. Tonight, the dark cloud that hovers over 5BW will hover over Fusion as well. Oh you thought LEGION being world champion was DARKNESS? PFFFFT! That bitch wouldn’t know darkness from her own asshole. That was CHILD’S PLAY compared to the darkness I am capable of. What you all REALLY don’t know is that I AM THE DARKNESS!!!!! I AM THE CLOUD! I AM THE BRINGER OF SHADOWS, CHAOS, DISCORD AND FURY!!!!! This chamber is the PERFECT environment for me to win my SECOND world championship! I’m not just a big threat… I am THE threat! I am THE person that turns your DREAMS into NIGHTMARES! I am the sandwoman that causes you to lose sleep at night! I am the ONE WOMAN DYNASTY, the EPITOME OF DOMINANCE, that you all couldn’t COMPREHEND because you’re all too busy having your thumbs up your asses acting as if you’re THAT important to the big picture! It is time that a REAL WRESTLER, not a bikini model with BIG TITS, was a world champion of Fusion. I’m sure you’re all going to run down everyone individually… which… fucking YAWN… put the masses to sleep… but you can’t run ME down….

Your victories over me are only temporary….

But my victories over you are ETERNAL… because WHEN I become the World Champion I should’ve become last year in ZION Wrestling… you will all REMEMBER ME… you will all FEAR ME…. you will all COWER BEFORE ME!

I AM THE DARKNESS!!!!!

Remember that when I am BATHING IN THE BLOOD OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU as the NEW ZION WORLD CHAMPION!

Minka flips the table over, shattering the entire nativity set.

Minka Carter: You’re all going to be BEGGING Jesus to save you…

Minka scoffs, clearly confident in herself as she exits the scene and the scene fades to black.



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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: And it is for the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPIONSHIP!



As the opening guitar riff sounds throughout the arena, all focus goes to the entryway. As the guitar starts to pick up, the silhouette of an imposing woman comes stepping out onto the stage. The video wall comes to life with quick clips of Mai Blackman in her old youtube series focusing on her former career as a bounty hunter. Through home video and go-pro cams, we see her aggressively dealing with individuals; mostly focusing on her encounters with bounties who decided to get aggressive. Mai is seen subduing them with a particularly brutal martial art. This highlight reel is intercut with the name BLACKMAN being plastered across the video wall to resemble cold steel. Meanwhile, the entryway fills with smoke as the lights begin to flicker and as the lyrics to the song begin, Mai Blackman finally makes her physical appearance, dressed in her tights, sports top and boots with kick pads. A towel is hung over her neck and her black hair is tied back into a tight short ponytail. The look on her face is enough to kill.

♫♫Standing up being a captive my disease
And I'll start when I want to start
It's not a trip, but a divine right to be
This is my castle and I'm keeping it all locked♫♫

♫♫'Cause I won't see what I've become
United divided, indulged by myself
But never wrong♫♫

Another wave of boos erupts from the crowd as Mai looks up to take in her surroundings. A smug smirk, dripping with arrogance, slips through her scowl as she starts to loosen up; bouncing on her toes, shaking her arms down at her side and throwing a few loose air punches at the ground.

♫♫I'd save the egos for another day
Stand back and watch this fall...♫♫

Mai makes her way to the center of the stage, waving off the hateful reaction from the crowd. She then brings her attention to the ring where her opponent awaits and rolls her neck. Mai looks down the ramp with a predatory grin on her face like a hunter prepared to go for the kill. Finally, she steps onto the ramp and approaches the ring, motioning with her hands that she’s right there and ready. She yells “Let’s do this shit!” as she begins descending the ramp.

♫♫Cage me up, tie me down, bring me around
Tell me something's gotta change and I'm not
Cut my reputation, be it quietly aggravating
I butchered everything and what's the cost♫♫

♫♫'Cause I won't see what I've become
United divided, indulged by myself
But never wrong♫♫

♫♫I'd save the egos for another day
Stand back and watch this fall from grace...♫♫

Mai Blackman moves with a sense of purpose down the ramp towards the ring; head tilted down, eyes on the ring with that murderous scowl on her face again. As she reaches ringside, she pauses to bounce side to side on her toes again before rounding the corner to the ring. She runs up onto the apron, turning to defiantly face the booing crowd as she opens out her arms with that arrogant smirk again. She loves the hate they’re throwing at her. It fuels her. It feeds her aggression and her sense of focus as she bursts up the steps and enters the ring. Mai immediately goes into a rope run across the mat. Mai finally rolls forward on the mat and comes up onto one knee with her fists up in a fighter’s pose before hopping up to her feet and moving to her corner. She throws her towel out of the ring, subsequently nailing the timekeeper and tells him to hold that for her. Mai pulls on the ropes, warming up a bit before the bell as she bares her mouthguard in a sinister grin.



The lights go down and then red lights blink on the stage as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart begins to play.

Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a…
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a Warrior!

A spotlight shines on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors from behind, arms outstretched. She turns around right as the guitar riffs and pumps a fist with a smile across her face. She looks out at the crowd and nods a few times before she begins walking down the ramp.

Jordan keeps her eyes on the ring as she heads down the rampway. She gets to the bottom of the ramp and surveys the crowd once more before running and sliding into the ring. She stays on her stomach. She leans on her elbows and kicks her feet behind her before rolling to her feet. Jordan runs and jumps up on the nearest corner and puts one arm up as she looks out at the crowd and nods her head.

Alex Lawson: Introducing first, the challenger…from Chicago, Illinois…weighing 135 lbs…Mai! Blackman!

And her opponent…from Los Angeles, California…weighing in at 130 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPION!...JORDAN! MAJORS!



Blackman circles the ring around Jordan to start things off, despite the Viral Champion not seeming to be at all in the mood to start things slowly! Majors is finished the preamble, rushing Blackman and going for a Superkick! Blackman dodges, however, getting a grip on Majors before going for a Sleeper Hold! She backs herself down, looking to trap Majors in it for good, but Majors rolls back before Blackman can secure the Bodyscissors, folding her up for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Blackman, releasing the hold! The two make it back to their feet in unison, with Blackman backing away from an angered Majors before outstretching a hand for a handshake to Majors! After a standoff with a bit of reluctance, Majors goes for the shake! But Blackman, predictably, uses this to take advantage, wrenching Majors’ arm! Majors seems to find the act just as predictable, immediately jumping up and hitting an Enziguri to Blackman! She backs into the corner now, leaving an opening for Majors to go for a European Uppercut! She follows up, looking for an Irish Whip to Blackman towards the opposite corner! But Blackman reverses, throwing Majors to the corner instead before quickly following! Majors catches Blackman by surprise again, jumping up to the top rope before flipping down to mat behind Blackman and going for an O’Connor Roll Pin! But Blackman hooks her arms on the top rope, keeping Majors from pulling her down and insteading her to the mat on her own! Blackman quickly takes advantage, catching a seated Majors with a Penalty Kick before mounting her and going for a bevy of punches and elbows to the head!

Blackman drags Majors to her feet, going for a German Suplex! She rolls through, hitting a second German Suplex! She rolls through again, hitting a THIRD German Suplex! Everyone thinks she finished after the third throw, but Blackman surprises everyone by dropping Majors with a FOURTH German Suplex to seal the deal! She ties Majors up now, getting her into a Peruvian Necktie! Blackman is slowing the pace here, keeping Majors as close to the ground and worn down as possible to counter her high-flying, high-energy style! The hold does well in wearing her down, but Majors eventually starts to get some motion going, just barely managing to get a leg onto the bottom rope so that referee Destiny Thompson breaks up the hold! Blackman reluctantly lets go, getting to her feet as Majors tries to recover!

Blackman starts to become playful now, watching Majors as she tries to get to her feet and pushing her head down every time she tries to get up with her boot! She eventually grows tired of playing with her food, getting Majors to her feet and looking to strike again! Majors is fired up by this point however, nailing Blackman in the midsection with a strike, then a second, then a third! Blackman eventually relieves the grip on Majors’ head, allowing her to unload on the challenger with a set of vicious Forearm Strikes! Blackman tries to strike back now, but Majors catches the fist! She wrenches the arm before running for the ropes, climbing up to the top before taking Blackman to the mat with a Springboard Hurricanrana!

Blackman attempts to get to her feet, trying to regain the control she just had over this match, but Majors cuts her off when she’s on her hands and knees with a Punt Kick! Blackman rolls over to the edge of the ring, with Majors responding by hitting the ropes and bringing her to the floor at ringside with a Basement Dropkick! Blackman starts to recover at ringside, with Majors getting a few ideas in her head! She rushes over to the ropes now, bouncing off before going for looking for a Suicide Dive! Blackman recoils, preparing herself for Majors to come at her quickly! But instead she just does a Handspring off the ropes, flipping to the center of the ring and laying herself out in cutesy position facing Blackman, obviously playing with her head now! Blackman grows furious, rushing back into the ring to give Majors a beating! Majors seemingly planned for this however, sliding out of the ring right beside her and swapping places with her! Blackman approaches the ropes, an idea that works to detriment as Majors picks her right leg and trips her backwards, before climbing to the apron and launching herself onto Blackman with a Slingshot Crossbody! Majors with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Blackman! She raises her legs up, immediately wrapping them around Majors’ head for a Grounded Headscissor! Majors is in trouble now, but takes advantage of their relative closeness to the ropes by getting a foot on it barely! Blackman is told one again to release the hold, which she does after waiting until the count of four and drilling an Elbow into the top of Major’s head for good measure! She gets Majors up to her feet, this time going for a Saito Suplex! She immediately rolls through, getting a Waistlock on Majors before tripping her forward with an STO before sending a stomp to the back of her head! Majors clutches her head now, with Blackman putting a lot of focus on it seemingly!

Blackman quickly gets back on her, looking for a Kata Hajime hold to a seated Majors now! Majors tries to get into the ropes again, but she’s in the center of the ring, nowhere near the ropes! Majors now tries to wriggle her way free, shifting her weight to the side in order to get some motion going to escape! Blackman senses this, deciding to change direction now, lifting Majors up to her feet before throwing her to the mat with a Kata Hajime Suplex! Blackman with the pin now!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Majors! Blackman stays on Majors still, catching her with a bevy of knees to the side of her torso! Majors eventually has enough, instinctually rolling out of the ring under the bottom rope as Blackman follows closely behind her! She gets Majors to her feet at ringside rushing her towards the barricade before throwing her shoulder first into it! She gets Majors up to her feet again, looking to throw her into the otherside of the barricade! But Majors reverses, throwing her into the barricade instead before faltering to the ground and ringside! She sits there for a bit, looking at Blackman leaned against the barricade and getting an idea! She steps back all the way into the timekeeper’s area, getting as much distance as possible for what she’s about to do! She runs all the way from the timekeeper’s area, ramming right into Blackman and CRASHING THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!

Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!

Majors and Blackman are both laid out in the rubble of the barricade as Destiny Thompson now reaches a count of five!

FIVE…! SIX…!

Blackman and Majors are still not moving!

SEVEN…! EIGHT…!

They only just now find the strength to stir, but both of them are too far from the ring! It doesn’t seem like they’ll make it in time!

NINE…!

They’re both crawling up now, their momentum picking up as they understand the direness of the situation!

TE-

They both made it! They both beat the count! They slowly rise to their feet in the ring, with Majors being the first to attack with a punch to the head! Blackman responds with a punch of her own! Majors responds once again, going for another punch! Blackman returns the favor, delivering another punch as well! Punch by Majors! Punch by Blackman! Punch by Majors! Punch by Blackman!

Majors is in trouble now, with Thompson asking if she wants to give up now! She shakes her head no, before getting a foot on the bottom rope, allowing her to escape the hold! Blackman is done playing around with Majors now, waiting for her to get to her feet before going for The System! She whiffs the Spinning Back Elbow however, with Majors ducking underneath and pushing her from behind into the corner! She sends an Elbow to the back of her head to keep her at bay, before lifting her onto the top rope and taking her to the mat with the SPRINGBOARD SUNSET FLIP!! SIGNATURE CONNECTS!! Majors with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Blackman! Majors is ready to finish things off now, waiting for Blackman to reach a vertical bade before going for the Cash Out! The Jumping Cutter fails to connect, with Blackman pushing Majors away before catching her as she approaches again with BLACKMAN’S BOUNTY!! TRIANGLE CHOKE IS IN!! Majors stretches her legs back, hoping that the ropes are somewhere in reach, but she’s out of luck! She tries to lift up, even getting Blackman an inch off the mat before she applies more pressure to cease her efforts! Majors has no other options, with her movements slowing to a crawl as she begins to fade away, she very weakly taps out! This match is over! We have a new champion!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this, via submission…and NEW Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPION…MAI! BLACKMAN!

Eddie Red Apples: W-wow…she did it!

Amber Westgate: The history making Viral Championship reign of Jordan Majors…it’s just…over…

Blackman smiles, being handed the Viral Championship belt and raising it in the air as we fade out!

WINNER: MAI BLACKMAN (VIA SUBMISSION)
NEW CHAMPION CROWNED

[Kai Morgan]

In a heartbreaker of a match, Lily Lopez was within arms reach of becoming champion for the first time in her career when that opportunity and moment were snatched away by her former tag team partner, Jessica Anderson!

Lily was in the medical room as the cameras walked in to get a comment after being told she was clear of a concussion and was good to speak. With a dejected look on her face, it was clear she had been crying. Her eyeliner was trailed from her eyes down her cheek. Her eyes were red and glassy as she looks up at the camera.

Lily Lopez: Tonight was a night that was supposed to mean something, for so many reasons. Not only was I competing for the Youtube championship in front of a group of fans that have supported me from day one, but I was doing it with my bestie at my side. My mentor, my former tag team partner...Jessica Anderson. This wasn't just my moment, Jess, it was supposed to be our moment. And I could feel it. I know Diamond well after our few encounters, and I truly believe I had her beat. The match was going great and then the referee goes down. I see Diamond grab her championship and I watch you, Jess, come to my rescue. You heroically snatched that championship out of her hand, and just when I thought you were going to drop it, or MAYBE interfere and hit her...you turned that championship on me and nearly gave me a concussion. Why?

Lily looks directly into the camera wearing a look of shear confusion.

Lily Lopez: You brought me into wrestling. You taught me everything you knew. We might have lost every single match together, but we were just that..together. At all times. So what would drive you to rob me of an opportunity that I've worked my tush off to earn? Is it because I chose to go solo a few months ago? If so you could have mentioned it to me instead of doing this. I've even asked you a few times if you were okay with my decision, and you told me to do my thing. You gave me your blessings. So why the sudden change of heart? Or is it something else?

She reaches up and rubs a bit of the eyeliner from her cheek, smearing it a bit more in the process.

Lily Lopez: The fans were taking a liking to me, and when I got the opportunity to shine away from the Bad Ass Bitches, I did all I could do, but it was never because I didn't WANT to team with you. Having you back with me tonight felt perfect. It felt poetic, and I honestly...I don't even know what else to say. I'm hurt, physically and emotionally and I really just want an answer from you directly, Jess. Why did you do it?

The fans can literally see Lily's heart breaking from the big screen as she waves the cameras off.

Lily Lopez: I'm sorry guys, I can't do this right now. Can I have a bit of privacy, please?

The camera move out of the medical room and close the door as the fans begin a 'You Suck, Jess!' chant as the cameras fade away from the backstage area.





"Tiger Red" Eli Buchanan walks out onto the entryway, accompanied by Charlotte O'Neal, wearing his tiger mask. He stops and drops to one knee, raising his fists in the air. Charlotte walks around behind him and pulls the mask off of him. He rises to his feet and the two kiss before taking each other's hand and walking down to the ring.

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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…being accompanied to the ring by Charlotte O’Neal…from the Hotel California…weighing in at 235 lbs…”Tiger Red”...Eli! Buchanan!

As ringside, Eli helps Charlotte up the stairs before leaping up onto the apron. He holds the ropes open for Charlotte, before springboards up onto the top rope and rolls into the middle of the ring up to one knee where he raises his fists in the air once meore while Charlotte O'Neal stands behind him and smiles.



The lights in the arena all go out, save for the ones directly around the entryway from the back which swaps to a glowing red. You hear the sound of a knife being drug across a whetstone. A whimsical, almost enchanted melody is heard alongside a female voice.

"Bite my tongue, bide my time. Wearing a warning sign. Wait til the world is mine..."

The red light begins to slowly pulsate as the song continues. You hear the sound of the knife being sharpened again. A small layer of fog begins to form at the top of the ramp.

"Visions I vandalize. Cold in my kindom size. Fell for these ocean eyes… "

The lights all around the arena slowly begin to pulse as well. The song crescendoing, causing one area of the building to turn red after another before there is a base drop in the song. The lights begin to stobe and pulse in time to the music's beat.

" You should see me in a crown!"

As the proper lyrics start to Billie Eilish's "You Should See Me In A Crown", Penelope walks out from behind the curtain, flanked by Mary Jane who stays a few steps behind her. Mary Jane grooves to the music, moving around whimsically, clearly enjoying the song. She pauses atop the ramp, looking out at the arena to a fairly mixed reaction from the crowd. She grins in her devilish way as she surveys the crowd,

Alex Lawson: "Making her way to the ring, by way of the Hotel California...she is...Penelope!"

The pair begins to walk down to the ring, Penelope carrying a dead flower in her hands. As she walks she plucks the black, withered petals off the flower one at a time and lets them fall to the floor. This leaves a bizarre trail behind her as she goes. She drops the naked step on the floor before she slides into the ring under the bottom rope. She crawls to the middle of the ring, before sitting back on her haunches. She looks up, and spits out a cloud of fine black mist before she lets out an ear splitting shriek. Penelope turns and gestures towards Mary Jane as the lights come back up to normal. She gets to her feet and makes her way to one of the corners as she waits on her opponent.



Penelope and Buchanan waste absolutely no time on one another, rushing to the center of the ring and meeting with strikes in unison! Buchanan gets the upper hand to start things off, with his strikes picking up the most steam the fastest, beating Penelope into the corner! He steps up to the middle rope now, mounting Penelope and laying into her with a set of punches in the corner! Penelope reverses this, lifting Buchanan off the ropes and carrying him to the center of the ring for a Powerbomb! She gets him up to his feet by the wrists, looking to end him early by going for Leucotomy! The Kamigoye Knee Strike doesn’t connect however, with Buchanan breaking Penelope’s hold on his wrists, and jumping up to deliver a Dropkick!

Penelope staggers back into the corner, leaving an opening for Buchanan to swap her with a Knife Edge Chop, before throwing her out of the corner with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex! He gets Penelope to her feet, this time looking for a Short Arm Clothesline! But she ducks underneath it, getting behind Buchanan and bringing him down with an O'Connor Roll! This isn't for a pin however, with Penelope rolling through and throwing Buchanan to the mat with a German Suplex! He rolls out of the move, landing in a seated position on the mat! Penelope takes advantage of this, running the ropes and landing a Low Dropkick on him!

Penelope looks to once again take advantage, hitting the ropes now as she goes for a Running Senton! But Buchanan gets the knees up, driving them straight into Penelope’s back! She recoils now, favoring the back as she tries to get up using the ropes! Buchanan takes advantage of this however, catching her with a High Knee against the ropes to stun her! He runs the ropes now, this time sending both her and himself over the top with a Cactus Clothesline! The two tumble to the floor on the outside of the ring, with Buchanan being the first to make it to his feet! He gets Penelope up as well, looking to send her into steel steps using an Irish Whip! Penelope reverses however, sending him into the steel steps herself!

All of this catches the attention of Charlotte O’Neil at ringside, who grows more weary of her husband’s well being as this contest progresses! She finally makes it into Penelope’s line of vision as she starts to approach her slowly! This doesn’t fly well with Eli Buchanan, who rushes up behind Penelope and catches her with a Double Ax Handle to the back! He gets her up to her feet again, throwing her into the barricade! She leans up against it, leading to Buchanan lifting her up and throwing her onto the top of the barricade with Snake Eyes! Heather Young now brings the count up to seven, to which Buchanan responds by rolling back into the ring, then rolling right back out! The count restarts giving Buchanan ample opportunity to beat down on Penelope!

He catches her just as she gets to her feet, throwing her head first into the ringpost before throwing back into the ring! It’s by that point we see one solid streak of red run down Penelope’s face, the shot against the ringpost, slightly busting her open! Buchanan shows no sympathy for this however, getting Penelope to her feet and in position for a German Suplex! Penelope is having none of it however, swinging her leg back and catching Buchanan with a low blow just outside of Heather Young’s view! Buchanan recoils, bending over as Penelope runs the ropes and clips him with a Running Knee Strike!

She starts to yell down at Buchanan now, telling him that he’s “getting there”, but that he’s “not quite where she wants him to be yet”! Buchanan gets to knee as he hears her say this, responding simply by weakly going for a swing towards the woman! It missed however, with Penelope only having to lightly step back in order to avoid the shot by Buchanan as he fell to the mat fully! Penelope pulls Buchanan to his feet by this hair, an act that Heather Young seems to reprimand her for! However, unlike most competitors she officiates for, Penelope doesn’t seem to care about her ruling as much! She continues to pull Buchanan by the hair, looking to throw him into the ropes! But Buchanan reverses, throwing Penelope towards the ropes and out of the ring once again instead! He waits for her to make it to her feet, before hitting the ropes and diving out of the ring for a Tope Con Hilo!

Penelope collapses to the floor at ringside, with Buchanan only slightly less damaged than her by this point! He gets to his feet, immediately making his way over to the announce table and stripping it of all its parts! He turns around, only to come face to face with a Shoulder Tackle into the booth by Penelope! She works Buchanan up onto the announce table, before climbing up with him! She lifts him up, and despite some initial resistance, slams him through the table with a Fisherman’s Suplex! The two are both on the ground now as the referee’s count rages on!

FIVE…! SIX…!

Penelope is the first to make it to her feet, getting Buchanan up as well before attempting to throw him back into the ring! But Buchanan reverses, throwing her face first into the apron instead! He rolls her back into the ring now, before climbing up onto the apron and then the top rope! He’s looking to fly, but Penelope immediately shuts him down, getting to her feet in time to push the ropes out from under him and send him crotch first onto the turnbuckles! Penelope reaches the corner, but a small twinkle in her eyes shows that she’s having dangerous thoughts! She grabs the mat in the far corner of the ring, before pulling the fabric back, exposing the unforgiving plywood boards that lie underneath!

She climbs the ropes now, getting Buchanan in position for a Superplex! Buchanan is having none of this however, refusing to be brought down! Penelope continues to try and lift, but Buchanan just won’t budge! Eventually, however, something does happen, but it isn’t quite what Penelope expects! Buchanan gets her up, throwing her right into the skeleton of the ring with Emerald Flowsion off the top rope! Penelope screams out in tremendous pain now, the impact of hitting the wood from that height shooting all the way up her back! She sits up from the landing revealing a few splinters lining her back, as well as few on Buchanan’s! Despite all this however, when Heather Young asks her if she wants to continue, she still says yes!

Buchanan is done with her however, waiting for Penelope to get to her feet before running over to hit THUNDERSTRUCK!! He goes for the pin, the first one of the contest!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR-

Kick out by Penelope! Buchanan is in disbelief, unable to fathom how she can take this much punishment! He takes to the corner again, looking for another Thunderstruck! But Penelope moves out of the way this time, catching him from behind and nailing him with SUDDEN DEATH!! REVERSE DDT ON THE PLYWOOD BOARDS!! Penelope isn’t finished with him however! She goes over to the corner, removing the pad from the top turnbuckle all while Heather Young just seems to shout into the void at this point! She gets Buchanan to his feet, looking to throw him into the corner! But Buchanan is having none of it, lifting her off her feet and throwing her into the exposed turnbuckle with a BUCKLEBOMB!! The impact of the move causes the ring even more damage, with the turnbuckle snapping in half, leaving the rope to fall weakly onto the mat! Buchanan gets Penelope to her feet, taking her down with a TIGER SUPLEX!! BUCHANAN GETS HIS FINISHER IN!! He goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

NO! Buchanan breaks up the pin, thinking that it’s not enough! He grabs the untethered rope off the mat, proceeding to wrap it around Penelope’s throat and choke her with it!

Eddie Red Apples: WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!! HEY!! THIS IS TOO FAR NOW!!

Amber Westgate: Are you sure Eddie?! Because with the way things have been between these two, it doesn’t seem like he’s gone far enough in his mind!!

As Eli tightens his grip around the neck of Penelope, the color of her face begins to turn a dangerous shade of red. Penelope's laughing has long since ceased however her smile is still present as her eyes flutter closed. Heather Young, watching on in horror, sees enough and calls for the bell.



Young is waving her hands frantically, while she yells in Eli's face to let go. The crowd are stunned as they hear the announcer's voice.

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match, as a result of a disqualification…Penelope!

The bell rings again as Eli appears to have no thought of letting go, despite Penelope's body going limp. The ref, fearing for her safety, grabs onto one of Eli's arms trying to rip it free from her throat. Eli appears to barely take any notice at first, but after a brief struggle, he swats the ref forcefully away. The ref flies away, landing painfully face first on the match. Eli's face shows no emotion, his eyes almost dead as he turns back to Penelope. However, upon seeing the unconscious woman in his grip, he slowly loosens it watching her body fall to the mat. Eli stares down at Penelope before gazing at his own hands, almost confused at what he had done.

"ELI!"

A scream from ringside grabs his attention as we see the strange and unearthly Leytrix hold of Charlotte painfully by the arm. Both women are standing on the apron, a look of terror on one and glee on the other. Leytrix forces Charlotte through the ropes before following. She forces Eli's wife to stand before him, tears streaming down her face as Leytrix offers her to him. Eli reaches out an outstretched hand towards his wife. She reaches out to him, their fingertips almost touching but not quite.

"Do it! Do it Eli! Take her, she's yours!"

Leytrix laughs maniacally behind Charlotte as Eli looks almost forlornly at his wife. His face slowly contorts into a mask of rage as his open palm is slowly curled into a fist. As he does so, Leytrix's laughter is abruptly cut off as she begins to cough and sputter. Eli's face turns to Leytrix as the Imp begins to cough up disgusting black ichor. Charlotte manages to slide free scrambling to the far corner of the ring as Eli takes a step closer to Leytrix. The black slime begins oozing freely from her ears and nose as she claws at her throat. Falling to her knees, Leytrix's cries are cut off by the copious amounts of black sludge she's spewing onto the mat. She appears to almost beg off Eli, cowering like a scalded dog as he towers over her.

Nearby, were the audience looking, they would have seen a small movement in Penelope. Her hands and feet briefly shift as she lays on her side. Blood begins to slowly drip from Eli's clenched fist, his knuckles white from strain, his nails digging into his own flesh with exertion. The veins in Eli's neck and temples are bulging from exertion as Leytrix collapses onto the mat, surrounded by a pool of the expelled ichor. The lights around the arena begin to flicker for a few moments, before they go out entirely. There's a brilliant orange burst of light from within the ring, followed by an otherworldly scream.

The crowd are almost silenced by the absurd and macabre scenes they're witnessing as the lights return to normal. In the ring stands Eli, who is staring at a blackened circle where the ring apron appears to have been singed from fire. Leytrix the Imo is now nowhere to be seen, as Penelope begins to stir at Eli's feet. A bevy if crew rush down to the ring, slipping a horrified Charlotte under the ropes. She looks back at her husband as he kneels down and picks Penelope up into his arms. Eli walks to the ropes, setting her gently back to the mat as he hops through the ropes. Charlotte is ushered backstage, as Eli retrieves Penelope and carries her up the ramp. The rest of the crew follow him as the crowd is left in a stunned silence.

WINNER: PENELOPE (VIA DQ)

Lawson’s ring announcement is interrupted by someone clocking Riggs from behind! Riggs collapses over the steel steps leading into the chamber, revealing the assailant to be…LEGION!!

Eddie Red Apple: What the hell is Legion doing here?!

Legion gets Riggs back to his feet, before slamming his head directly into the steel steps with the STARLIGHT DRIVE!! CURBSTOMP ONTO THE STEPS!! She cracks a smile, before climbing into the Chamber despite the referee’s insistence! She walks right into the last empty pod before shutting the door behind her!

Amber Westgate: Apparently being in this Chamber match!

Eddie Red Apples: Well this is different!

Legion stands inside her pod, with Minka Carter staring daggers through her from inside the ring! Just then, Daria Dorsey’s music hits!



Daria doesn’t even wait for Lawson to get himself resituated enough to do her ring announcement, immediately rushing down the ramp and into the Chamber with title in hand! She approaches Legion’s pod the two of them getting into a shouting match until the official breaks them up so that Dorsey can start the match!



Minka Carter and Daria Dorsey start this one and they waste no time on each other, with Carter immediately resorting to a violent swing towards the World Heavyweight Champion! She ducks underneath it however, grabbing the swinging arm of Carter and wrenching it before going for a Spinning Back Kick straight to her midsection! She runs the ropes now, looking for another move! But Carter pops up to reverse, catching her with a Jumping Clothesline! Dorsey pops back up to her feet, not wanting to give Carter the upper hand so early on! She returns to her, only to be hit with a Running Knee Strike! Dorsey gets to her feet once again, this time with Carter looking to outclass her once again with an Enziguri! But she dodges the swinging leg of Carter, leaving her to land on one foot with Dorsey in control of the other leg! Carter tries to regain control, jumping up and looking to hit a Back Kick! But Dorsey dodges that one too, getting hold on the other leg and sending her backfirst to the mat! Dorsey raises up a leg, seemingly fooling the crowd and Carter herself into believing that she’s going for Daria’s Inferno early on! Dorsey instead throws her a curveball, jumping up and sending a Double Stomp straight to her chest! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Carter! Dorsey begins to work Carter to her feet, before clubbing her with a Forearm! She looks to hit her again, but Carter is having none of it, swiping Dorsey’s hands away before going for a Forearm shot of her own! Dorsey hits a Forearm in response, followed by another from Carter! The strikes begin to pick up steam now, with the two seemingly moving in unison! Dorsey eventually gains the upper hand, sneaking a Boot into Carter’s midsection amongst the fist fight and throwing her shoulder first into the ringpost! Carter collapses outside of the ring and onto the Chamber floor, with Dorsey following her right out of the ring! She gets Carter up once again, getting her in position for a Spike Piledriver on the floor of the Chamber! Carter refuses to go up however, giving Dorsey all her weight and planting herself on the ground to avoid going headfirst into it! She reverses now, throwing Dorsey over her shoulder with Back Body Drop onto the unforgiving steel floor of the Chamber! Dorsey recoils now, favoring her back as she tries her best to regain some stability! Carter’s not giving her any time to recover however, rushing over and driving her head into the floor with a Headscissors DDT!

Carter gets to her feet, knowing that she can easily take advantage and go for the pin here! But instead she just looks straight ahead, staring daggers straight into Legion’s pod as the Queen stares right back at her! She approaches, touching her face to the glass as the two known rivals exchange some heated words with each other! Carter makes a point of telling Legion that the moment her pod opens, she’s gonna be right on her, a remark that Legion elegantly responds to by saying, “And we’ll beat your ass again, bitch.”

The heat of this exchange takes Carter’s eye off the prize for just a bit too long, leaving an opening for Daria Dorsey to re-enter the fray! She throws Carter right into the side of Legion’s pod, with the Queen giving Carter a condescending wave as she tumbles to the steel floor! Dorsey pursues Carter now, only taking a pause to point towards Legion’s pod and remind her that she’s on her shitlist too! She gets Carter to her feet, ramming her face first into the side of the chamber before throwing her back into the ring! She climbs to the top rope, launching off and hitting Carter with a Meteora! She gets her to her feet, getting her in position before hitting her with a Spike Piledriver! She rolls through the move as usual, getting her back in position before hitting a second Piledriver! Dorsey with the pin!

ENTRY #3: CHERRY ADDAMS

She gives her a good stare, before knocking a few screws in her head loose with SUPER stiff Forearm!

Addams staggers back, with Carter going right after her with a Spinning Heel Kick of her own! The shot sends Addams back into the corner, with Carter rushing over for a Corner Back Elbow! She gets the shot, rushing over to the opposite corner to see if she can get it again!

She pulls Addams out of the corner, hitting the ropes and looking for another move! But Addams is able to take her down, taking her to the mat with a huge Lariat that turns her inside out!

Carter comes back now, clubbing Addams in the back of that injured head with a Forearm! She follows up, looking to throw her out of the ring and onto the Chamber floor! But Addams shakes off the cobwebs long enough to throw her out of the ring herself! She hardly has time to remark in her handiwork as Dorsey comes back and grabs Addams from behind, looking for a Belly-To-Back Suplex! But Addams flips out of it landing on her feet behind Dorsey and pushing her out of the ring as well, with Dorsey’s head clashing with a recovering Carter’s in the process! Addams sees an opportunity now, waiting for Dorsey and Carter to get to their feet alongside one another before hitting the ropes and nailing a Slingshot Spear to the pair on the outside! The three are laid out on the steel floor of the Chamber, with Addams slowly, and a bit unsteadily, making it to her feet! She gets Carter up, looking to hit her signature Flatliner! But Carter reverses with a few strikes to the midsection, before positioning Addams and taking her to the steel floor with a Tornado DDT off one of the pods! She rolls back to her feet, right into an attempted German Suplex from a recovered Daria Dorsey! But Carter puts up her hands and uses one of the pods to stall her momentum before nailing Dorsey over the head with an Elbow to get her to release her! She caps off her attack, clocking Dorsey against the pod with a Spinning Clothesline!

Both Dorsey and Addams are laid out at ringside, with Carter noticing the timer getting close to zero again! She once again walks up to Legion’s pod, with the two getting into another heated verbal exchange!

Kick out by Dorsey, but Carter gets the last laugh in the form of a Superkick to the side of Dorsey’s head as she tries to get up! Dorsey is knocked to a seated position now, leaving her open to a FLIPPING SEATED SENTON BY CARTER!! She goes for the Jacknife pin!

Kick out by Carter! She rolls to her feet, catching a kneeling Dorsey over the head with a Knee Strike! She takes to the corner now, lowering both of her kneepads as she waits for the champion to make it to her feet! She rushes up to Dorsey as she gets to her feet, looking for the DEMON STAKE!! JUMPING CORKSCREW ROUNDHOUSE CON—WAIT! NO! NO IT DOESN’T!! Dorsey catches Carter’s legs out of midair before trapping her into DARIA’S INFERNO!! EDGECATOR IS IN!! Carter’s in the center of the ring with nowhere to go and already having taken so much punishment already! With no other escape route, she decides to live to fight another day, weakly tapping on the mat! This one’s over!
