Zion Wrestling Presents: Monday Night Mayhem Episode 30!!

[Kai Morgan]

We cut off from the video package as the second verse of Waterparks’ “Tantrum” echoes throughout the Zion Wrestling Star Factory Arena! We cut over to the commentary desk with Winter Mae and Trick Morrison!

Winter Mae: With just 26 days to go before the biggest show of the year, it’s time for a little Mayhem! Welcome everyone…to Monday Night Mayhem! I’m Winter Mae, joined as always by my partner, Trick Morrison!

Trick Morrison: It’s always fun to be here, especially now that we’re traveling again and out of that cramped Star Factory Arena! Cleveland is about to be rocked with a great show tonight! Tons of promising matches as well as what is sure to be a chaotic Trios Main Event! Let’s begin!

" Heavy Rotation " by AKB48 Music Hits the arena and the crowd give Nami Megumi a standing ovation. Nami walks from backstage with the microphone in her hand and gives a high five to the fans and gives her smile to the crowd before sliding to the ring.

Nami Megumi: Hello Monday! Hello Mayhem, how are you guys doing? I hope you guys are doing well!

The Crowd: We love Nami! We love Nami! We love Nami!

Nami Megumi: Thank you! Thank you! You guys are amazing, so before you guys watch our match tonight I want to say a little bit about what happened after I faced Angel Kash. It all started from there. Everything I've been doing ends there. What I can do it becomes worthless when in the ending I can't beat Angel Kash and yes I didn't lose because Angel Kash was better than me and yes I didn't lose because The Privileged Elite tried to cheat me I lost because Maki Megumi That's disgusting and after that I was hurt at Fusion because of Maki and the mysterious mask man. We already know who Johnny Towers is. I don't know how the two of them work together. Can Maki team up with the person trying to burn the ring here? I don't know what Maki was thinking but she was going to do what she said. Maki said chaos is about to happen and yes it has happened. and it happened to me Last week was another time I lost. I feel like this is my worst moment since I stepped into Zion Wrestling. I'm the only one who paid the fine after last week's violence. Ok I admit it but the only thing I don't want to admit is defeat like that. I'm out here today because I want a rematch!! I want to face Maki Megumi or Johnny Towers. I want justice, yeah, I know I might look silly and can't accept my own failure. If you guys are defeated like that, can you accept it? I lost a match where I deserved to be a winner twice in three to four weeks, I can't stand it anymore so come out here now Maki!

" Old Doll " by Mad Father Music hits the arena. The crowd turns to boos when Maki Megumi and Johnny Towers walk out from backstage; they don't care about the reaction from the audience. Maki Megumi and Johnny Towers slide to the ring and officially give their microphone. Maki start to talk.

Maki Megumi: I told you little bird to join me. Look at you now. Pathetic and no one can save you. Unfortunately, last week you almost became a winner but ended up losing because of your finisher. How was her tsunami that led so many people to defeat today? It's you, little bird. You feel bad, right? Yes, you'd feel even worse if I were to say that defeating you wasn't that difficult. It's as easy as I used to beat you in Japan. And I prove once again that I'm better than you. Well, I'm going to introduce you to Johnny Towers. We know each other when we're going to face each other in the Zion vs NFW war. We both think that's stupid. We don't know why we have to give our best when nothing else happens after that. So we decided to team up to do what we wanted, yes it was chaos and as I said chaos is going to happen. And I really made it happen. You said what do you want? rematch? Little bird, think carefully, do you really want it? 2 on 1? handicap match? Have you lost your mind? What challenge should you look at yourself, little bird? You know you can't resist me anymore. So don't try to resist, join me. Nami, you know you can't beat me, even if you try, you will eventually fail. And I don't know why you want to rematch, but when you want, I'll make another offer to you, go find your tag team match. And face me and Johnny Towers, but I don't know when because maybe nobody wants to team up with a failure like you anymore because of me. If you want that, then you'll have to find your tag team partner.

Nami came closer to Maki. The two of them brought their faces so close that they could hear their breathing while Nami was angry but Maki was smiling. Nami couldn't stand it. She pushed Maki away and was about to slap Johnny. Taking her wrist and letting go, Maki smiled and shook her head before walking down the ring. Johnny looked at Nami for a moment and smiled before following Maki.

Nami Megumi: I'm going to find someone to team up with me and of course I have in mind Maki. You're going to regret doing it to me. You will be responsible for everything!

Maki Megumi and Johnny Towers didn't seem to care what Nami shouted. They both walked backstage. Nami saw that and walked backstage as well.

Match #1: Thea Erzili vs Pandora Navarro
CHAMPIONSHIP GAUNTLET

Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Vivian Blake: Introducing first…from Phoenix, Arizona…weighing in at 125 lbs…the INAUGURAL Zion Wrestling National Champion…Pandora! Navarro!

And her opponent…from New Orleans, Louisiana…weighing in at 147 lbs…”The Masterpiece”...Thea! Erzili!

Winter Mae: Thea Erzili seemingly having a lot to prove ahead of her National Championship Match with Reina Mendoza at Destiny! And what a way to start!

Trick Morrison: What better way to prove that you’re ready to be National Champion than to beat the woman that started it all? And it just so happens that our amazing new GM Katrina Lopez has flown the inaugural National Champion Pandora Navarro out for one last match against this new up and comer in Erzili!



Erzili meets up with Navarro in the center of the ring, the usual smug and confident demeanor on her face softening away as she reaches out and offers her a handshake! The current #1 Contender for the National Championship seems to want to show some respect for the woman that started it all, a gesture that Navarro meets kindly! The two shake hands, but this was a trap by Erzili, who wrenches the arm and pulls her in for a shoulder block! She keeps a hold on Navarro, pulling her back to her feet before taking her down with a Short-Arm Clothesline! She gets Navarro to her feet by her arm once again, before taking her to the mat with a Hip Toss and trapping a now seated Navarro with a Top Wristlock from behind!

Navarro struggles as referee “Cueball” Carson attempts to ask Navarro if she gives up! Navarro backs him off angrily, a sight that Erzili takes much joy in as she believes that she’s gotten in the former champion’s head! Navarro manages to get some movement going, shifting to the side and pushing up in order to escape! She sends a few shots to Erzili’s midsection before throwing her to the mat with an Arm Drag! Erzili rolls back to her feet as Navarro runs the ropes, attempting to gain some headway! But Erzili is ready for her, jumping up and catching her with a Dropkick! Navarro hits the mat now, leaving an opening for Erzili to slam into her with a Running Senton! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Navarro! Erzili gets her to her feet, before throwing her into the corner! She unloads on her with a stiff Stomp to the midsection, keeping her boot on her to add pressure! She eventually releases her at Carson’s demand, before pulling Navarro’s head in for a European Uppercut! She rushes to the opposite corner, running back to go for a High Knee to the corner on Navarro! But she gets out of the way, leaving Erzili to take the full brunt of the impact on her knee! Navarro takes advantage, reaching up behind Erzili with a Backstabber! Erzili slowly gets back to her feet as Navarro rushes towards her and decks her with a Bicycle Kick! She waits once more as Erzili moves it to her feet! She runs the ropes, looking for Handspring Back Elbow, but Erzili ducks underneath and hooks the arm around her neck, before going for a Back Suplex! But Navarro flips to a vertical base off of this, making it to her feet before pushing Erzili to the ropes and pulling her back in for an O’Connor Roll Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Erzili! She rolls up to a knee, immediately being caught with a Superkick from Navarro! Erzili flops to the mat, with Navarro looking to go high as she takes to the top rope! She waits for Erzili to make it to her feet, before going for a Diving Flipping Senton! But Erzili takes her down, throwing her to the mat with a Powerbomb! Navarro slowly staggers to her feet, leaving an opening for Erzili to hit the BACKLASH!! INVERTED HEADLOCK BACKBREAKER CONNECTS!! Erzili isn’t finished however, immediately transitioning into TWIN SLASHER!! CROSS-LEGGED DOUBLE ARMBAR IS IN!! Navarro struggles for a bit, attempting to escape with all her energy! But the pain eventually becomes too much, with Navarro telling the official that she gives up!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, via submission…Thea! Erzili!

Winter Mae: Huge win by Thea Erzili! She just beat a former National Champion!

Trick Morrison: I can already see Erzili glowing with confidence! She knows that she’s championship calibur and tonight she proved that!

Erzili stands over the former National Champion, putting a foot on her chest as her arm is raised in victory!

WINNER: THEA ERZILI (VIA SUBMISSION)



Earlier in the Day

“Spoiled” Summer Page arrives at the door of the Privileged Elite locker room. She takes a deep breath and pushes the locker room door open. She walks in to see Cassie, Jessica, and Chris already in the locker room. The three of them look over at Summer and there is a moment of an awkward silence.

“Spoiled” Summer Page: I meant what I said after I lost to Faye last week. Angel can’t be the only one in this group getting things done. The four of us need to step up and start making things happen to back up all of our bragging.

Chris stands up and looks around at the three ladies.

Chris Mosh: You’re right, sis. We got to pull our weight.

“Top Tier” Cassie Lopez: You already know that is what I am about.

Jessica Anderson: I’m in.

“Spoiled” Summer Page: Good…real good.



Match #2: Chris Mosh vs Risa Jackson

Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Vivian Blake: Introducing first…representing The Privileged Elite…from Las Vegas, Nevada…weighing in at 210 lbs…”The V.I.P.”...Chris! Mosh!

And her opponent…from Kyoto, Japan…weighing in at 120 lbs…”The Cosmic Swan”...Risa! Jackson!

Winter Mae: Risa Jackson hasn’t done well as of late, let’s see if she can turn it around!

Trick Morrison: Usually, I’d say that if anyone can do it, The Cosmic Swan can! But Chris Mosh and the Privileged Elite seem to have been given a wake up call last week by Summer Page! That may yield dividends to him tonight!



Jackson and Mosh meet in the center of the ring, going for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Mosh goes for a Wristlock, thinking he has Jackson well met! But she reverses, rolling forward to unwring her arm and taking him to the mat with an Arm Drag! Mosh pops back up to his feet, going for another Collar-and-Elbow! This time, Jackson takes advantage, wrenching the arm of Mosh and rushing over to the corner before climbing to the top turnbuckle and going for a Hurricanrana! Mosh makes it back to his feet again, regaining his bearings just in time for Jackson to go for a Slingblade! But Mosh pushes her away, sending her chest first into the ropes before going for a German Suplex! Jackson lands on her feet however, jumping up and sending a Double Foot Stomp to the chest of the now prone Mosh! She looks to take advantage, going for a Running Senton! But Mosh gets the knees up, immediately rolling up Jackson for a Schoolboy Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Jackson! She rolls to her feet as Mosh gets to his knees, leaving an opening for Jackson to jump up and lay an Enziguri across the head! Mosh now staggers to his feet and back into the ropes, with Jackson following in hot pursuit! She throws him off the ropes and into the other side of the ring with an Irish Whip! Mosh reverses, however, sending Jackson into the ropes with an Irish Whip of his own! Mosh goes for a Back Body Drop upon her return, but Jackson manages to land on her feet off of it! This does very little for her in the end, as Mosh immediately turns around and takes her to the mat with a Chop Block! He takes immediate advantage, getting a hold of her leg and rattling her ankle with a Foot DDT to the mat! He takes the leg and presses it to the mat now, jumping up and nailing the ankle with a Knee Drop! He gets her to her feet before taking her to the mat with a Slingshot Suplex! He floats over for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Jackson! Mosh is ready to finish now, waiting for Jackson to make it to her feet before going for a Superkick! Jackson dodges it however, pushing Mosh into the corner before going for BOTH BARRELS!! Enziguri/Shotgun Dropkick Combo Connects! Jackson is finished yet, making her way to the top rope before going for Heaven’s Fall! But Mosh rolls out of the way, leaving Jackson to land on her feet as Mosh gets up and catches her with SUPERKICK!! He looks to end this now, getting Jackson to her feet before looking for the Mosh Pit! But Jackson reverses the Vertebreaker, instead taking Mosh to the mat with an Inverted Hurricanrana! Mosh is laid out on the mat now, leaving an opening for Jackson to climb to the top rope and catch him with HEAVEN’S FALL!! TUCKING MOONSTOMP CONNECTS!! Jackson with the pin!

ONE…!

Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Risa! Jackson!

Winter Mae: A huge win by the Cosmic Swan here tonight!

Trick Morrison: Don’t sleep on Mosh, though Winter! He gave it his all tonight and pulled some really unique offense out of Jackson!

Jackson celebrates as we fade out!

WINNER: RISA JACKSON (VIA PINFALL)



The scene opens backstage. Grayson Osiris Deville is standing next to his manager Marisol Vilaro, and already the boos begin to trickle in from the fans in the arena.

Grayson Deville: “Thank goodness I am not wrestling in the Star Factory anymore. Meh, not like Cleveland, Ohio is anybody. Name me ONE sane person who wants to be here anyway?”

Trashing their hometown doesn’t make the Cleveland faithful love the self professed God anymore than they did before. Grayson doesn’t allow the noise to deter him. He motions for the crowd to quiet down.

Grayson Deville: “Have no fear Cleveland, G.O.D and His Goddess are benevolent enough to bask you in our benevolent presence. When you look like the Top 1% in the world. Spoiler, I have 0% percent body fat thanks to the Vilaro System...”

Grayson flexes his biceps.

Grayson Deville: “-- how can you not be a true believer. If you’re not, boys and girls, you are blind as a freaking bat. Look at me. Look at Marisol. How can you possibly deny the results. But Grayson I hear you ask, why aren’t you challenging for the National Championship and to that I say, life is a marathon, not a sprint. I don’t sweat losses. Failure is a learning experience. I am going to take that experience and translate it to winning that battle royal at Destiny. Speaking of the battle royal. Hi Elijah.

Grayson waves to the camera.

Grayson Deville: “This won’t be the last time we see each other. At Destiny, I plan to be the last man standing. Tonight, I plan on making you kneel before G.O.D. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out you need a little momentum to push you through. Sorry dude, you ain’t feeding off me. No chance. I am still the future of this company and all of professional wrestling, it’s that time to remind the world why no one has shit on me!”

Grayson kisses his bicep.

Marisol Vilaro:Exactly Elijah you are dating one of my clients, but this isn’t personal, this is business, and the success of GOD is what matters here to me. Tonight you will step into the ring with the GOD of Zion Wrestling, a man who is head and shoulders above the rest. Thea may have gotten lucky and scored one victory, one miracle win against this man but you are looking at the future of Zion and the future of Wrestling standing right before you!

Marisol smirks proudly, with her hands on her hips.

Marisol Vilaro: So, tonight you will kneel before GOD and in the battle royal you along with everyone else will realize the folly of standing against him. As he takes the battle royal and gets his title shot at whoever the Zion Wrestling Champion is either Angel Kash, or Faye Brown will have to watch themselves. Because when the truly divine come in and claim what is there's nothing you can do about it! Amen!



Match #3: G.O.D. vs Elijah Copeland

Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Vivian Blake: Introducing first…from Lancaster, Pennsylvania…weighing in at 210 lbs…”The Golden Boy”...Elijah! Copeland!

And his opponent…being accompanied to the ring by Marisol Vilaro…from Manhattan, New York…weighing in at 210 lbs…Grayson Osiris Deville…G.O.D.!!

Winter Mae: Both these two are looking for a win ahead of the Fight for Infinity Battle Royale! Let’s see who can get that important head start!

Trick Morrison: I can’t blame them! The Chance Briefcase has done wonders for careers! Hell, both our current Zion Wrestling Champion, Angel Kash, as well as the World Heavyweight Champion over on Fusion, Daria Dorsey, have carved their name into the history books by winning that Briefcase and successfully cashing it in!



Deville and Copeland circle the ring around each other, measuring their first move well as the two seem to be familiar with each other’s styles! Copeland makes the first move, going for a swing on Deville! But Deville manages to avoid the shot, catching the arm wrenching it before catching Copeland with a Kick to the midsection! He wrenches the arm further, with the initial shock up the arm stunning Copeland for a bit! But Copeland looks to escape, rolling forward in an attempt to unwring his arm! But Deville has this well scouted, rolling with him in order to keep the hold intact before pulling Copeland in and bringing him to the mat with a Headlock Takeover! Copeland is in trouble now, eventually finding a way to escape, getting his arms around Deville’s waist before rolling back and taking his shoulders to the mat!

ONE…!


TWO…!

Kick out by Deville! Copeland keeps his grip around Deville’s waist, pulling him up to his feet before throwing him to the mat with a Release German Suplex! He rolls to his knees before being caught with a Busaiku Knee Kick from Copeland that drives him into the corner! Copeland once again takes the advantage, rushing over to Deville and catching him with Yakuza Kick before immediately transitioning into a Tornado DDT off the ropes! He paces around the ring now, making a hand cleaning gesture and smiling smugly for the crowd before hitting Deville with a Knee Drop! He gets back to his feet, deciding to be even cockier by simply placing foot on Deville’s chest for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Much to no one’s surprise, Deville gets the shoulder up! Copeland gets Deville up to his feet, sending him into the corner and leathering him with Elbow and Knee Shots to the midsection of Deville as he sinks further to the mat in the corner! Copeland hits the adjacent corner now, looking for a Facewash! But Deville rolls out of the way, taking Copeland to the mat with a Schoolboy Roll Up!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Copeland! He rolls to his knees, with Deville rolling over to catch him over the head with a Kick! Copeland staggers back to his feet, leaving an opening for Deville to run the ropes and catch him with Standing Double Stomp! He follows up, hitting Copeland with a second Stomp as she’s laid out on the mat! He gets Copeland back to his feet, throwing him to the mat with a Snap Suplex! He rolls through, getting Copeland up again in a Suplex position! He stalls this time around, showing off his strength for the fans before dropping Copeland with a second Suplex! He’s looking to end this now, getting to the apron before jumping up in an attempt to hit his signature Springboard Elbow Drop! But Copeland manages to get up just as Deville hits the ropes, pushing them right out from under him and watching as he collapses on the mat! He gets Deville to his feet, taking him down with a Shin Breaker before taking him down with a LEG TRAP SAITO SUPLEX!! He bridges for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Deville! Copeland looks to end this now, getting Deville in position for the Money Maker! But Deville reverses as Copeland goes for the lift, immediately taking advantage by hitting a SAVATE KICK!! Copeland is staggering now, with Deville grabbing him and pulling him into the ropes to hit KNEEL BEFORE GOD!! ROPE-ASSISTED PILEDRIVER CONNECTS!! He goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…G.O.D.!!

Winter Mae: A fantastic match and win by Grayson Osiris Deville! And…Jesus Christ Trick, what’re you doing?

Trick Morrison: I’m kneeling before G.O.D. Winter!! Why aren’t you?!

Winter Mae: The things I put up with in this job…

Deville celebrates with Marisol Vilaro the two taking a good look at the Chance Briefcase displayed at ringside as we fade out!

WINNER: G.O.D. (VIA PINFALL)

[Kai Morgan]

The cameraman walks down the darkened hallway, as one room had its lights on. The cameraman stopped just outside the door, hearing the laughing coming from the room. He took a deep breath and lifted his hand knocking at the door. The room had gone silent, as there was a creak, and Danae had pulled the door open. She grabbed the cameraman by the collar pulling him into the room. She closed the door behind her, then pushed him through the other doorway, Kassandra, and Legion both there watching him, Kassandra motions for him to sit down. He goes over to the area where the chairs had been set up. Kassandra lets Legion go first, then follows with her, Danae, and her in tow. The cameraman looks at Legion, as she sits down, Kassandra takes her spot on the right, and Danae takes her spot on the left.

”the Queen” Legion: Last week was not a success, and we know that. But afterwards the tag team titles became vacant. So that gives you two another opportunity, another opportunity to get the tag team titles, then We will become the new World Champion, then and only then can the blood spilt be refilled, and returned.

Legion lifts her hand snapping her fingers and the lights go out, as the Lights come back on Kassandra is sitting in the chair with Legion nowhere in sight. Kassandra smiled softly as she tilted her head to the side looking at the cameraman.

”the Blue-Eyed Wolf” Kassandra: Here’s the thing about last week, as the Queen had said, we lost. I don’t deny it, Danae doesn’t deny it, but that new GM seemed to stick her nose and traded off the tag team champions. So that means with the opening of that, there is the chance we can take the tag team titles back. We have the week off so we are going to be sitting back, scouting the competition, so that we have an idea..

”the Silver-Eyed Wolf” Danae: Then the hunt resumes, because we then know who we are targeting. How about this sister?

Danae leans down whispering into Kassandra’s ear. Kassandra then lit up, as she looked back at Danae, she then turned back around looking at the cameraman all excited, the prospect of the idea fluttering into her mind. She smiled softly, as the cameraman continued to watch her.

” the Blue-Eyed Wolf” Kassandra: Danae just presented a wonderful solution to the problem. So next week, we are going to go out to the ring, and host an open challenge, Doesn’t matter who it is, two random individuals, a tag team, hell a trio. The point is anyone can come, we do not shy away from challenges. We simply want to prove…

”the Silver-Eyed Wolf” Danae: that we are the best when it comes to tag team wrestling. Those who dare stand before us, know that the hunt will go through you, and the House…

” the Blue-Eyed Wolf” Kassandra: Always Wins…

Kassandra gets up off of her chair, then looks at Danae who escorts the cameraman to the locker room door. The cameraman goes out, as Kassandra high fives Danae, they go back to sitting on the couch watching the show, as the scene fades out.



Match #4: Strike 2 Kill vs Thotline Miami

Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Vivian Blake: Introducing first…being accompanied to the ring by Takashi Shinobu…at a combined weight of 363 lbs…the team of Liam Richardson and Miles Watson…Strike! 2! Kill!

And their opponents…at a combined weight of 222 lbs…the team of Cindy Collins and Taylor Gibson…Thotline! Miami!

Winter Mae: Thotline Miami looking a lot more focused tonight than last week!

Trick Morrison: I would too, Winter! Strike 2 Kill dashed their hopes of a debut win! Now they’ve got another opportunity to show their skills here tonight by taking that W back!



Miles Watson and Cindy Collins start the match for their respective teams! The two circle the ring around each other before going to lock up! Collins catches Watson off guard, dropping down and taking control with a Waistlock! She gains further headway now, with the deceptively strong Collins lifting Watson off his feet and taking him face first to the mat with a Shoot Throw! She takes advantage now, looking for a Grounded Front Facelock on Watson as he struggles to escape! This struggle doesn’t persist for long however, with the technical gift rolling to his back and getting his legs up to wrap around Collins’ for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Collins! Watson immediately swoops in, getting the advantage over a now seated Collins with a Rear Chinlock! She tries to swing at him to escape, but this only serves to cause even more problems for her as Watson catches the arm and transitions into a Top Wristlock! She attempts to shift over in order to pry her way out of it, but Watson cuts her off by folding her into the mat with a Side Headlock! Collins has nowhere to go now as Watson has the hold cinched in deep! This eventually changes however, with Collins managing to get the legs up and around Watson’s head for the Headscissors, sending Watson’s shoulders to the mat!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Watson, breaking up the hold! The two make it to their feet in unison, with Collins being the first to take the offensive with a Lariat! Watson ducks underneath, leaving Collins to hit the ropes and return to a Discus Lariat! But Collins rolls to the mat to duck the shot, getting around Watson and immediately attempting to take him down with a German Suplex! Watson lands on his feet however, before catching a laid out Collins with a Double Foot Stomp! She recoils, getting to a seated position before facing down a Soccerball Kick by Watson! She lays herself out once again to duck this however, getting her legs up as Watson passes her by and bringing his shoulders to the mat with a Sit Out Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Watson counters the pin attempt, rolling up to trap Collins in a Rana Pin of his own!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Collins! The two get to their feet once again, with Watson getting the jump on Collins with an Enzigiri! Collins falls back into the ropes, returning to Watson to connect with a Dropkick! Watson staggers back into the ropes now, returning to Collins as she attempts to go for another Lariat! Watson goes to counter spinning around to hit a Discus Lariat as the two clobber each other at the same time! Both competitors are laid out on the mat now, with their partners reaching out for the tag! They start to regain their bearings now, crawling across the ring before taking that leap of faith into their corners and tagging in their partners!

Taylor Gibson and Liam Richardson are both legal now as the two charge at one another and level each other with a set of stiff strikes! Richardson is able to push back Gibson to start, looking for Roundhouse Kick to send her down in earnest! But Gibson ducks underneath it, thinking she’s out of the woods and caught completely off guard as Richardson hits a Spinning Heel Kick to regain momentum! He gets Gibson to her feet before going for a Snapmare! But she catches Richardson by surprise, landing on her feet off the intended flip to the mat before taking him down with an Arm Drag! Richardson makes it to his feet, looking to regain control of the match! But Gibson takes him down with a Dropkick! Richardson is up once again, this time with Gibson hitting the ropes and going for a Hurricanrana! This time however, it’s Richardson’s turn to take Gibson by surprise with his athleticism, landing on his feet off the Lucha maneuver and clipping her over the head with a Spin Kick!

Richardson looks to finish off here, nailing Collins with LONDON’S CALLING!! He tags in Watson, with the two looking for the End of Days to finish off Thotline the same way they did last week! But the pair seemed to learn from their mistake, with Collins rushing in hit Watson with a Superkick before he can lay a Roundhouse on Gibson’s back! Gibson slips Richardson’s grip now, bringing herself back down to trapping his legs for an Inside Cradle Pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Richardson! The two get to their feet, with Richardson looking to swing with a Lariat! But Gibson catches the arm, immediately transitioning into the VAPORWAVE DDT!! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT CONNECTS FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!! Gibson with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…Thotline! Miami!

Winter Mae: What a match between these two teams! And what a win by Thotline Miami!

Trick Morrison: Thotline Miami took their negatives from last week and turned them to positives, acquiring that huge first win here in Zion! I have a feeling that S2K is not gonna take that lying down however!

Gibson and Collins celebrate as they leave the ring and back up the ramp! Richardson and Watson look on at the two of them, seemingly with unfinished business here as we fade out!

WINNERS: THOTLINE MIAMI (VIA PINFALL)



Mayhem cuts to a very unfamiliar place for Chelsea LeClair to be in: the locker room. It is super rare that she would do your general locker room piece, but for this occasion, Chelsea feels that this is a bit warranted. There is SOME disappointment on her face, but nothing too overwhelming. Despite all of this, she does keep her composure as she begins to express her thoughts.

Chelsea LeClair: I know, it’s kind of WEIRD for me to be doing something from the locker room. I get that. But the truth of the matter is, I am not in the right kind of mood to do my usual skit. I come into tonight incredibly frustrated and disappointed. Sure, I had been doing fine and I’m still in good shape around here, I acknowledge that. But last week? UGH! That was a massive disappointment. That was my ONE chance to really make something of myself here and it didn’t go my way. So yeah, I am frustrated. It almost feels like I didn’t even deserve to have that title match at all. I’m very hard on myself at times and this is just one of those times. I know I can bounce back. I’ve done it before. But holy crap, the last week has been pretty hard for me to shake that disappointment if we’re being honest. I think about the Chance battle royal that is coming up, I think about the fact that there had to be a movement because there WAS some worry that I wasn’t going to be a spot for me on the Destiny card at all and I just wonder… or at one point I wondered anyway… if maybe this company might be more of an uphill battle than I thought…

Chelsea pauses and lets out a sigh, further expressing any frustration and disappointment.

Chelsea LeClair: …key words: at one point. Then I’ve remembered all the rock bottoms that I’ve been through including THE ultimate rock bottom that I had a few years ago when I was completely drugged out of my own mind and basically fired from a company that I had wrestled for at the time. There was also the roller coaster that I endured in that company’s sister promotion where I stunned the world by becoming a world champion for the first time only to hit another rock bottom when that title was lost so fast. There was another promotion that nobody gave me a chance to succeed in where I was able to win a championship against everyone’s expectations, just to name a few instances. Last week, I admit, pales in comparison to that, but damn it, I didn’t come here to be just another face on the roster.

Nobody’s going to give me a CHANCE to win at Destiny because I’m sure there are going to be nearly a dozen other wrestlers that people are going to bet on besides me and you know what, that’s FINE and all. But to be completely honest, I am starting to get sick of this ‘shock the world’ crap. I’m beginning to tire of feeling like whenever I actually do something, it turns out to be this big shock that nobody expects. If you ask anyone else in this locker room, they’ll see that match last week and they’re going to say ‘well, it’s the result we expected’. I’m TIRED of that. I’m a former world champion twice over for God’s sake. I’m tired of being the ‘underdog’. I’m tired of being the ‘shock the world Cinderella story’ everywhere I go. I’ve been riding this ‘Cinderella’ wave for more than three years now all because I allowed myself to be a victim of my own personal demons.

Well that’s not going to FUCKING happen anymore!

I’m not going to tolerate being thrown under the bus and disrespected and overlooked anymore. No, this is not your typical ‘I’m going to start cheating and taking shortcuts’ nonsense because to hell with that. But it’s time I start acknowledging the truth I’ve kept down for the last couple of years now and that’s the fact that everywhere I’ve been, I’ve been treated like I don’t matter or that everything I do is a fluke. I mean for fuck’s sake, the last promotion I was a world champion in, I had the same clique of people try to undercut and undermine everything that I do to the point of exhaustion and I’m DONE with that.

I’m done with the glass slippers damn it!

And if anyone in that battle royal at Destiny wants to tell me differently, then I’ll bring those glass slippers to that match and smash them over your face so you get the message that CINDERELLA IS FUCKING DEAD!

I think I’ve made my point now…

Chelsea takes a deep, calm breath before she stands up and makes her exit from the locker room.



The scene picks up in the backstage area of the Wolstein Arena. A professionally dressed Alessa Holloway stood directly between the pair of Ricky Rodriguez and Big Ass Bobby. She held a microphone and began to speak up.

Alessa Holloway: 'I'm standing here with one of the rising stars of Zion Wrestling, someone who you'll all see showcase exactly what he's capable of in the Main Event tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Rodriguez.

Ricky was all smiles, bouncing from foot to foot, clearly hyped up and ready to go for that big Six Person Tag later on. The two shared a smile before continuing on with the interview.

Ricky Rodriguez: 'Thanks for doin this, Lessa.'

She was quick to shake her head, dismissing the thanks given to her.

Alessa Holloway: 'I told you, anything I can do for you two still won't be enough. But enough with the niceness. Tonight, you have a huge Main Event match when you team up with Petra Vasquez and Lily Lopez against the Privileged Elite: Summer Page, Jessica, Anderson and someone you've had trouble with since your Zion debut, Cassie Lopez. How are you feeling going into this?'

Ricky closed his eyes briefly, thinking over his answer before speaking up.

Ricky Rodriguez: 'I'm feelin fuckin fantastic. I go out there tonight with two people who I got their and who I know got my back. Lily's cool, we've been friends for a while and I knew, once I signed with Zion that it was only gonna be a matter of time till I found myself on her side. She gotta point to prove against Jessica Anderson and tonight? She's gonna prove it.

Then you gots Petra Vasquez. I've been in there with Petra and I know exactly the kinda fight she brings. I picked up on more than a few things when we stepped in there like that. Things I can definitely play off of when we're out there tonight. We might not got the most experience together but I promise you, we're gonna surprise you all~'

Alessa was clearly pleased with the answer, nodding in full agreement.

Alessa Holloway: 'And what about your opponents? Your problems with Cassie are blatant but fill us in on the other two.'

Ricky Rodriguez: 'It's like this..despite bein on opposite sides of the ring, I really don't got nottabit against Summer. I've met her a couple times through Marisol Vilaro, who we're both great friends with. She just happens to be on the wrong side tonight. Nothin really more than that. She's pretty hot too.

Then there's Jessica Anderson. We gotta lilbit of somethin still lingerin bout from outside of Zion. I just turned on Carli Davis. Showed everyone in Liberty Pro that I'm there to do whatever I gotta do to be successful. Was primed and ready to really finish the job but then there comes Jess to save the day. Apparently, turnin on people is somethin that's only okay when Jess does it, otherwise it's this totallyyy shitty and heinous act, y'know?'

Alessa Holloway: 'Sounds sort of hypocritical, don't you think?'

Ricky Rodriguez: 'Whooooleeelottabit hypocritical, Lessa. But it's whatever. Gonna be able to get my getback tonight. Not just with her tho, but with that half assed Cassie Lopez too. She eliminated me in my debut. She's attacked me after a match. Talked shit on Twitter. But tonight, that all comes to a head. Tonight? I get my hands on her in allll the worst ways. Now let's go.'

Alessa Holloway: 'You heard him, everyone. Tonight means victory.'

Ricky nodded his head at Alessa before looking at Bobby and doing the same before the three of them walked off.



Match #5: Tanja Devereaux vs Sterling Jamison White

Devereaux wastes no time here, immediately sending a Kick to the midsection of White and taking him to the mat with a Vertical Suplex! She immediately transitions, rolling through and taking White to the mat with a Falcon Arrow to follow up! She gets White to his feet, leathering him with a Roundhouse Kick, before immediately following with a Spinning Heel Kick! Devereaux looks to end this now, getting White up and taking him to the mat with VOODOO! ONE WINGED ANGEL CONNECTS!! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Tanja! Deve-

Before Blake can even finish her announcement, the Satsujin Triad have entered the ring, clobbering Devereaux from behind and laying into her with stomps! Hayumi Yamamoto comes in now, telling Nari Chang and Cappadonna to get Devereaux up to her feet before running the ropes and looking for the Seppuku! But just as she’s about to reach Devereaux, Thalia Starks comes in, taking her to the mat with a Double Leg Takedown before laying into her with strikes! Chang and Cappadonna try to cut in now, but Devereaux nails Cappadonna over the head with a Roundhouse Kick that sends her out of the ring! She rushes over to Nari Chang, grabbing her in position as Starks gets Yamamoto up, with Deveraux hitting DEATH’S CALL!! Starks gets in sync with Devereaux, hitting Yamamoto at the same time with THE GAMBIT!! The Triad make their way out of the ring and up the ramp, with Starks and Devereaux uniting the center of the ring and shaking hands, seemingly forming an alliance!

Winter Mae: Well it seems as though Thalia Starks and Tanja Devereaux have formed some sort of union here!

Trick Morrison: Those spooky, voodoo bitches might just give The Triad a run for their money!

The two taunt the Triad as we fade out!

WINNER: TANJA DEVEREAUX (VIA PINFALL)

The view fades backstage to Tommy Green with a mic in front of a monitor. Mans wears a doofy smile on his face as he starts his bit.

Tommy Green: "What a Mayhem so far, folks! With the main event involving the Privileged Elite, I feel it's only apropos to see the other side right quick, so joining me at this time... the Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, Faye Brown."

Brown enters stage right and casually hooks an arm around Green's shoulders.

Faye Brown: "Hey, Tommy! How's it goin', bud?"

Tommy Green: "It's going well, Faye! So... with beating Summer Page last week, you're through all the rest of the Privileged Elite. From Anderson to Page, you've downed the four people you needed to down. So what happens now?"

Faye Brown: "Well, that's pretty simple, ain't it? I'm gonna invoke my rematch for that Zion Wrestling Title."

Faye looks forward and extends an arm out, as if pointing out a grand horizon, which Tommy looks at.

Faye Brown: "That's what alllll of this work has been for. That's what everything I've done in Zion since 2022 started’s been about."

Tommy Green: "But aren't you afraid that they'll just interfere more if you do get your rematch?"

Faye points to Green with a couple fingers immediately.

Faye Brown: "See, that's the thing, Tommy. I have an idea that I'm gonna take to the new GM that ke--"

?: "Umm... you forget who you’re talking about?"

Faye Brown: "--eeeesus fucking Christ!"

Soon enough, the Trillion Dollar Princess and Zion Wrestling Champion Angel Kash waltzes into view. Dressed to the nines wearing a black dress, black Gucci high heel pumps, a matching Gucci handbag, and her Zion Wrestling Championship resting on her shoulder. Catching everyone's eyes with all that glitters. The Hamptons native looks at the Brooklynite with a look of disgust.

Faye Brown: "What do you want now?"

Angel Kash: "You really still think you call the shots around here. So let me make this clear again: you do not get to make demands of me or my championship."

Faye Brown: "Yeah, I remember the first time, bu--"

Angel Kash: "Congrats on beating Anderson, Lopez, Mosh and Page, but this?"

Kash holds her championship up, right in Faye's face. Brown has her eyes close and her lips pursed out of sheer frustration.

Angel Kash: "This image? Is for your own good. This is still the closest you're ever getting to my title, because I am not giving you the honor... the PRIVILEGE of facing me at the grandest event in Zion history."

Angel backs off with a scoff, flipping her hair in disgust. With an exasperated exhale, Faye simply retorts.

Faye Brown: "You're done, right? OK. I. Have. A rematch clause. That's not something you can just constantly deny. You say I can't call the shots, when that’s literally the one shot I CAN call whenever I please. But youknowwhat, youknowwhat? That's OK. It's cool. Because like I was telling ol' Tommy here? I'm gonna take the idea I have to the GM, and it'll get me exactly what I've been wanting this whole time. So I'll see you... only you... in a week."

The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow backs off from the Trillion Dollar Princess before exiting stage left, en route to the general manager's office. Kash watches her off with a scowl before shaking her head, taking a deep breath, and walking off stage right. Presumably to watch her Privileged Elite in the main event.

MAIN EVENT: Ricky Rodriguez, Lily Lopez, and Petra Vasquez vs The Privileged Elite
Tornado Trios Match

Vivian Blake: The following contest…is a Tornado Trios Match…scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Vivian Blake: Introducing first…at a combined weight of 424 lbs…the team of Ricky Rodriguez, Lily Lopez, and Petra! Vasquez!

And their opponents…representing the Privileged Elite…at a combined weight of 374 lbs…the team of “Spoiled” Summer Page, “Top Tier” Cassie Lopez, and “Jobber” Jessica! Anderson!

Winter Mae: This colossal main event came about last week, when the Privileged Elite decided to bring a beatdown onto Petra Vasquez following her Gateway Championship Tournament Match!

Trick Morrison: The Privileged Elite could’ve taken Cassie’s W and walked off, but instead they decided to add insult, and even more injury, to injury! Now even Lily Lopez has made the trip over from Friday Night Fusion to take the fight to the Privileged Elite, especially her former best friend, Jessica Anderson!



In no time at all the ring placed squarely in the middle of the Wolstein Center becomes an epicenter for violence, with all six competitors in this match firing at will! Petra Vasquez stands out in the crowd initially, pushing Summer Page back before swinging on her with a Spinning Back Elbow! She gets her to her feet, looking to throw her out of the ring now! But Page has other ideas, throwing Vasquez out instead! Page looks to go high-risk as Vasquez starts to make it to her feet, running the ropes before looking for a Suicide Dive! Vasquez quickly cuts her off however, nailing her with a Elbow to the head just as she peeks out of the ropes! She grabs her out of the ropes and puts her immediately in position for a Vertical Suplex! This backfires on her however, with Page being able to shift her weight back and land on her feet behind Vasquez to deliver a Snap German Suplex right into the edge of the announce table! Page attempts to follow up, looking for an Irish Whip into the steel steps near them outside the ring! But Vasquez is able to reverse, hopping onto the steps and flipping over Page before nailing her with Spear right into them instead! Both women collapse on the outside!

Meanwhile, in the ring, Ricky Rodriguez and Cassie Lopez get into it, with Cassie battering him with mounted strikes in the corner! Rodriguez reverses this, however, catching one of her strikes before slipping down and away from the corner with her arm in tow! The force of the pull brings Cassie’s head down toward the top turnbuckle, leaving an opening for Rodriguez to send a Superkick right between her legs and straight to her face! Cassie is almost out on the top rope, looking as though she’s about to fall back! But Rodriguez catches her like the good samaritan he is, getting her in position before throwing her across the ring for a Crucifix Powerbomb! The throw is intercepted by Jessica Anderson, who clashes with Cassie in the corner as the two lean across the turnbuckles stacked onto each other! This causes Rodriguez to share a look of devilish intent with Lily Lopez as the two begin to work together!

The two take to the opposite corner, with Rodriguez Irish Whipping Lily into Cassie and Anderson in the corner for a Body Splash! She immediately gets to her hands and knees, allowing Rodriguez to jump off her back for Poetry In Motion! Cassie and Anderson stumble out of the corner, with the two aligned just perfectly enough for Rodriguez to jump up and nail them simultaneously with a SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! The shot turns them around, leaving them perfectly in position to face Lily Lopez as she leaps from the top rope with a FLYING CROSSBODY!! Rodriguez wastes no time in capitalizing, getting Cassie to her feet before putting her in position for Real Style! The Burning Hammer GTS fails to connect however, with Summer Page reintroducing herself to the equation in the form of a TOTAL KNOCKOUT TO RODRIGUEZ!! SUPERKICK CONNECTS!!

Lily Lopez now steps in, taking her to the mat with a Springboard Dropkick! She takes to the top rope, launching right onto Page with a LILY PAD SPLASH!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS!! Lily gets to her knees, looking to get up from the move, but Jessica Anderson cuts in now, nailing her with a SHINING WIZARD!! Petra Vasquez comes back in now, clattering Anderson with a SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE!! She immediately follows up, getting Anderson up on her shoulders before taking her down with the PAPARAZZI DROP!! FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER CONNECTS!! Before she can go for the easy pin however, Cassie Lopez comes back in, pulling her up to her feet by her hair before hitting her with a Kick to the midsection! She hits the ropes as Vasquez is hunched over, nailing her with the STAMP OF RELEVANCY!! CURBSTOMP CONNECTS!! Cassie looks to finish her off now, trying to work Vasquez into position for Down To Earth! However, all this does is occupy her arms, leaving her absolutely defenseless as Ricky Rodriguez bounces up to the second rope and nails her with TO THE TOP!! SPRINGBOARD CUTTER CONNECTS!! With everyone else laid out in the ring, Rodriguez sees his chance, finally going for the first pin of the match!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

NO! Pin broken up by Summer Page, who jumps up and makes the save at the last possible moment! Rodriguez’s face shows a look of deep disappointment, with Page starting to roll outside of the ring in order to avoid Rodriguez! This doesn’t go unnoticed by him, with Rodriguez following her right out of the ring! Page looks to hit Rodriguez once again with the Total Knockout, but he catches it this time, taking Page to the concrete with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip! He now starts to undress the announce table, with monitors, papers, and water bottles flying all throughout the ringside area! Page makes a last ditch effort to escape Rodriguez’s clutches, going for a stiff right hand! But Rodriguez catches it, immediately nailing her with a Knee Strike to the midsection before laying her across the announce table! He climbs to the ring apron, before going to the top rope, the crowd on the edge of their seats for what he’s about to do next! He launches off, going for a Shooting Star Press to Page on the outside! BUT NO!! Jessica Anderson pops up just in the nick of time, pulling Page off the announce table right before Rodriguez makes his impact! The table explodes with Rodriguez engulfed in it, with Page looking down on him in a daze! Anderson encourages her to go for a pin, with Page doing just that!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…The Privileged! Elite!

Winter Mae: Well this has to be a bit disappointing for Rodriguez!

Trick Morrison: Ricky Rodriguez gave it his all! But this just stands to prove that throwing caution to the wind can sometimes cost you! And it did just that tonight to the benefit of the Privileged Elite!

Winter Mae: With his Quarter Final match in the Gateway Championship Tournament next week, you have to imagine Ricky Rodriguez isn’t at 100% after taking a spill like that!

Trick Morrison: And I think Summer Page realizes that, Winter! We’ll see how that shakes out for him next week! Until then, for Winter Mae and Zion Wrestling, I’m Trick Morrison, thanking you all for watching and wishing you a good night!

The three Privileged Elite members stand tall, with Angel Kash and Chris Mosh joining in the celebration! We scan across the ring, with Lily Lopez looking especially disappointed as we fade to black!

WINNER: THE PRIVILEGED ELITE (VIA PINFALL)
