Amber Westgate: We're closing out our chapter here in the Steel City in big way starting right now with some Triple Threat action!



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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: And it is for the ZION! VIRAL! CHAMPIONSHIP!



‘Ponytail to Shushu’ by AKB48 hits as Ayu Megumi walks out to a huge ovation from the crowd while she makes her way towards the stage. Ayu High-five with the fans along the ringside with a huge smile on her face. then she step up into the ring by steel steps and jump up to the top of turnbuckle and point to the fans with a huge smile then she jump down to the ring and wait her opponents.



The lights shut out for a few seconds before then suddenly the music started playing, there wasn't any smoke at all or any theatrics, it was just a simple violin playing to get the crowd hyped up. They cheered in response when they saw what was happening, spotlights shining around the entrance and on the ramp, the violin making the crowd hyped up before the guitar kicked right in and the lights turned into a deep blue color and Aria was standing there in the middle of the entrance ramp.

She had a small nervous expression on her face as she appeared. She slowly closed her eyes and stood there taking a deep breath as the camera zoomed in right on her and then in a split second, she opened her eyes right back up with a determined expression on her face as the song went through the violin solo.

She walked down the ramp with fighting intent, still trying to show a possitive attitude being able to make up a smile while high fiving a few of the fans. She calmly walked up the steel steps and stood on the edge of the ring, taking in the atmosphere from the audience before she shot up onto the top of the corner and stood up in the top with determination on her expression as the guitar solo kicked right in, blue sea fireworks shooting up right out of the entrance to wow the crowd and hype Aria up as well. They finally settled down and Aria looked around at the audience once last time before she slowly sat down on the top rope.



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.

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match… by submission… and STILL the ZION! VIRAL! CHAMPION!... MAI!!!! BLACKMAN!!!!

Eddie Red Apples: Mai Blackman are still the Viral Champion and continues to dominate her challenger, especially The Youngest Megumi and The Sacred Detective, I can’t believe it. She dominates the two youngest and brightest challenges. Who will stop the Viral Champion? I can’t imagine who will be her next challenger.

Amber Westgate: So, congratulations to our Viral Champion, she dominates this match. She shows why she is the Viral Champion. She did what she told on social media. But let’s talk about ARIA and Ayu. Ayu chooses to save her friend and receives a vicious elbow strike from the Viral Champion. She chooses friendship over winning this match. That’s crazy!

The referee handed Zion Viral Championship to Mai Blackman and hold her hands up to the sky. While Megumi laid down in the middle of the ring. ARIA laid down on the outside. Blackman staring down at her former challenger with a wicked smile lifts the championship belt above her head and over the lifeless body of Megumi. ARIA slowly woke up and she knows this match is over. ARIA slowly slide back to the ring and checked on her friend who didn’t move. Mai Blackman stares at these two before sliding out from the ring and walking back backstage.

WINNER: MAI BLACKMAN (CHAMPIONSHIP RETAINED)
RESULT: SUBMISSION

[Kai Morgan]

"Valhalla Calling" by Jonathan Young Begins to play as Gold and White lights flash around the arena. After a moment, "The Mighty" THORA quickly walks out from the backstage area in her normal Black & Gold gear with her matching leather jacket. She has a proud smile on her face as she walks down the ramp, getting pumped by the music and smacking the hands of the beloved fans.

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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Fairbanks, Alaska…weighing in at 137 lbs…”The Mighty”...THORA!!

As THORA gets to the ring, she hops up onto the ringside and slides underneath the second rope before popping up on the other side and quickly sliding her leather jacket off her shoulders, letting it drop to the ground. After letting go of her Jacket, THORA runs to a ring corner and pops herself onto the middle turnbuckle; earning a loud pop from the fans as she holds her arms out wide. Suddenly, she hops down from the middle turnbuckle and moves into her rightful corner, awaiting the match to begin.



The fast guitar riff for “Reborn Through Failure” hits the speakers and once the vocals kick in Chelsea makes her way out onto the entrance ramp ready for battle.

Alex Lawson: Introducing next, her partner…from Chicago, Illinois…weighing in at 123 lbs…”The Nightmare Angel”...Chelsea! Skye!

Following her ring introduction Chelsea makes her way down to the ring slapping hands with the occasional fan along the way, she enters the ring and runs the ropes as she waits for her opponent.



Smoke emerges from the entrance position, along with a gust of lotus petals dancing in the air, as "Bad Girls" would play. Hayumi has her parasol out, flashing a design to the crowd, and then withdrawing it to reveal Hebi no Rengo standing together.

Alex Lawson: And their opponents…being accompanied to the ring by Hayumi Yamamoto…at a combined weight of 247 lbs…the team of Akira Fujimoto and Lien Kamiya…Hebi! No! Rengo!

Eddie Red Apples: Hayumi Yamamoto and her new friends have been a thorn in the side of these two old friends ever since she’s come to the blue brand!

Amber Westgate: These two are looking to exterminate a set of snakes here tonight! But it still has to be questioned whether these two still have the tag skills to stack up to this unit tonight!

Hayumi placed her parasol over her shoulder, while Lien and Akira flanked her with violent looks on their faces, as they marched to the ring with focus. They enter the ring, and strike a brief pose together, before readying to fight.



Lien Kamiya and THORA start things off for their respective teams! The two meet in the center of the ring, looking to outwrestle one another they go for the Collar-and-Elbow! Kamiya gets the upper hand to start, cinching in a Top Wristlock on The Mighty One! But ever the crafty veteran, THORA is able to rise to her feet, slipping underneath Kamiya’s arm and sneaking into a Wristlock of her own! Kamiya looks to escape now, rolling forwards to unwring her arm before popping back to her feet and rushing towards the Lightning Thief! But THORA counters, stopping Kamiya in her tracks with a boot to the midsection before pulling her in and dropping her with a DDT! She floats over for the pin!

Kick out by Kamiya! THORA stays on her, however, locking in a Rear Chinlock as she tries to sit up! Kamiya pushes up against THORA, looking for a route to escape! She reaches a vertical base, but before she can act on anything, her opponent releases the hold and drops her on the mat, following up with Double Foot Stomp! She moves over to the corner, tagging in Chelsea Skye! She gets Kamiya up to her feet, getting her in position for a Russian Legsweep as Skye hits the ropes and topples her with a Spear on the way down! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out again by Kamiya! Skye looks to pull her up to her feet, only to be met with resistance as the Black Lotus lays into her with a stiff set of strikes to the midsection. She transitions quickly, getting around Skye and tightening her grip to her with a Waistlock! Skye looks to ward her off, backing into the corner and slamming her against the turnbuckles! This turns out to be a mistake however, with the movement happening towards Kamiya’s corner! Akira Fujimoto takes advantage of this, tagging in against her partner’s shoulder and rushing into the ring! She goes right after Skye as she continues to struggle with Kamiya in the corner, nailing her with a Knee Strike! Kamiya pushes her out of the corner, holding her in a Full Nelson position as Fujimoto hits the ropes! Skye is able to escape the Full Nelson however, driving Kamiya away with an Elbow Strike before turning to face the oncoming Fujimoto! It’s too late however, with Fujimoto catching Skye with a Forearm Smash!

She continues the assault, looking to throw Skye into the corner! But she reverses, sending Fujimoto in instead! She follows up, running to the opposite corner before returning to her opponent! Fujimoto once again backs Skye away, nailing her with a Back Elbow as she returns before bashing her face first into the top turnbuckle! She adds insult to injury, pressing her foot against Skye’s head and pushing her back in the corner! The official now has to step in, threatening a five count on Fujimoto if she doesn’t release the hold! She takes down her leg just at the edge of five, leaving Skye to crumble into a seated position in the corner! Ever advantageous, Fujimoto traverses through the beratement of the official, rushing over and nailing Skye with a Cannonball in the corner! She pulls her to the center of the ring for a pin!

Kick out by Skye! Fujimoto doesn’t let up on her opposition however, dragging her to her corner by the arm and tagging in Lien Kamiya once again!

She tags in Fujimoto once again, letting her get in on the attack as she now Stomps on Skye! Fujimoto again tags in Kamiya, who once again Stomps relentlessly on Skye before going for the tag! At this point, they tire of their assault on the opposition, opting to pick her up and in position for a Double Suplex! They get caught by surprise however, with Skye flipping out of the move and landing on her feet behind the two before making a mad dash over to her corner! She comes mere fingertips away from getting the tag to THORA before collapsing to the mat, throwing out the hopes of a reprieve as Fujimoto pulls her back into the center of the ring!

She rushes to the opposite corner, knocking Fujimoto from the apron to the floor with a Forearm Smash! Fujimoto is back on her feet now, looking for a Clothesline of her own to The Mighty One! But she ducks underneath, hitting the ropes and returning to Fujimoto with a Slingblade! She looks to capitalize, getting Fujimoto to her feet and looking for a Butterfly Suplex! But Fujimoto lands on her feet, looking for the Pump Kick! THORA sidesteps her however, looking to catch a returning Fujimoto with a Discus Forearm Smash!

[Kai Morgan]

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.

Alex Lawson: “Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is a standard contest. Introducing first, standing at five feet five inches and one hundred twenty-five pounds, hailing from Osaka, Japan... YUKIKO KUSANAGI!”

As her name is announced, 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.



The lights go down as a song undeniably by HEALTH drones four times. The drone continues to fade in and out, as it's now accompanied by on queue bass drum kicks, four to a bar. The drone gets louder as vocals creep in.

Know we're never gonna feel the same as it was today
Know we're never gonna feel again, but I still wake up and lie to myself
Love, your love, it's not enough
Love, your love, it's not enough

Following "VICTIM," "TEARS" kicks in and the lights come on to reveal the former NFW Genesis Champion, Katelin Descarrilado, in her circular sunglasses and medical mask, donned in all black. She raises her arms up and out, almost in a wingspan. Jake Duzsik's vocals literally echo throughout the Collision Center as Descarrilado saunters down to the ring, almost in time to HEALTH's notes.

Alex Lawson: “And her opponent, standing at five feet eight inches and one hundred fifty pounds, hailing from Denver, Colorado... KATELIN DESCARRILADO”

Through Arden's announcement, Katelin has sauntered from the top to the bottom of the stage. She climbs the steps and enters on...

Trust us now
It's time to let me go
Give up on us
Follow what you want
Trust us now
It's time to let me go
Give up
Give our soul back

"TEARS" fades out on "Give our soul back..." as in the middle of the ring, Katelin wingspans much like she did atop the ramp for all to see, to a chorus of boos.

Both women lock eyes as the referee, Destiny Thompson, steps forward to explain the rules. Before a word can escape his lips, both women rush at each other. Katelin bowls right through the official, knocking her over. Katelin then plows through Yukiko, spilling the devil on her back. The Japanese fighter doesn’t even get a chance to try to get up before Katelin begins viciously stomping her face in. Yukiko is unable to guard her face and already, her lips are leaking red. Katelin drops to her knees, planting them in Yukiko’s chest, and begins to choke her.

Destiny stands up and moves towards the women. Nervously, the official coughs and tells Katelin to break the choke. The monster does, but whirls on the referee.

Katelin: “You only have one job in this match and it’s to declare a winner! Anything else that happens is between me and her!”

Yukiko rolls up to her feet and wipes the blood from her face. She smiles, seeing it, then looks at Destiny before hissing.

Yukiko: “Let us destroy each other or we’ll destroy you, too!”

Destiny’s face drains of all color as she nods and retreats, sitting in a corner and watching.

The two women begin circling each other, glaring into each other’s eyes. Finally, they collide into each other, slamming fist after fist into each other’s face. Finally, Yukiko reaches up and gouges Katelin in both of her eyes, holding thumbs into them as she yanks her forward into a headbutt. The larger woman stumbles backwards, covering her face. Yukiko sends a swift field goal kick up between Katelin’s legs, lowblowing her full force and dropping the Colorado woman to her knees.

Yukiko rolls from the ring and ducks under the canvas, pulling out a steel chair before returning to the ring. Destiny starts to protest but Yukiko gives her a cold stare that shuts her up. She strides over to Katelin, now on all fours, and drives the folding chair down on her head three times until Katelin falls flat to the canvas. She drops the mat, laid out, and Yukiko drops the steel chair on the back of her head. The Osaka Devil then whips herself off the ropes and comes at Katelin in a front handspring, landing both feet on the back of the chair. Katelin stops stirring instantly.

Yukiko admires her handiwork, picking the chair up and opening it. She slides Katelin’s head into the chair, then steps back. She runs forward and launches herself in a flip, but Katelin manages to jump up and slams the chair’s legs up Yukiko’s face. The smaller woman falls backwards as Katelin dislodges the chair from her own neck and begins wailing on Yukiko’s face and chest until, with a full-force swing, she actually breaks the chair on the smaller devil.

Yukiko rolls around in agony as Katelin tosses the fragments of the chair aside. She grabs Yukiko by the hair and tucks her legs between her thighs, pulling her up for a powerbomb. Katelin runs across the rung and hurls Yukiko from the squared circle, sending the Devil soaring back-first into the barricade. Yukiko cries out in pain as she since to the floor. Katelin whips herself backwards and launches out of the ring, her double-stomp missing just as Yukiko barely manages to roll away. Katelin manages to keep her footing though, turning on Yukiko as she scrambles away.

Katelin turns towards Yukiko and begins storming towards her. She hauls back and throws a punch for the back of the smaller woman’s skull, but Yukiko manages to grab the steel steps and rolls onto her back, holding the steps up defensively. Katelin’s fist collides into, scraping her knuckles bloody. Yukiko gets up and slams the steps repeatedly into Katelin’s face before driving their sharpest corner into Katelin’s gut and dropping them. She grabs Katelin behind the head and drops her own weight, driving Katelin head-first into the steps. Katelin lands on her back, still and staring up at the lights.

Yukiko looks around and sees a fan in the front row holding a beer bottle. She approaches the woman and strips the covering off the steel barricade. Yanking the beer bottle from the fan, Yukiko shatters the bottle and turns towards Katelin, grinning evilly. She leaps onto Katelin and attempts to grind the broken bottle into her foe’s face, but Katelin manages to grab Yukiko’s wrists. The two struggle desperately, the sharp glass managing to touch and drag Katelin’s face, before she rolls over and tosses Yukiko off of her.

Both women get up as fast as they can, but Yukiko is faster. She tosses herself onto Katelin, who lifts her over her shoulder. Yukiko reacts by stabbing Katelin repeatedly in the back before being thrown forward. As Yukiko falls, the back of her head slams onto the uncovered barricade, dazing her. Grabbing Yukiko by the mane, Katelin begins to beat the Devil’s face into the barricade, raking it side to side, before palming Yukiko by the back of the head and driving her face into the floor.

Katelin looked at the broken neck of the bottle in Yukiko’s hand. She yanks it away, opens the smaller Devil’s mouth and shoves it, broken bits first, in past her teeth. Standing, Katelin grabs onto the barricade and stomps the back of Yukiko’s head over and over, sending her smaller form into spasms. Katelin hauls back and kicks Yukiko in the throat. The petite fighter rolls over, coughing on swallowed fragments and spitting up blood.

Katelin looms over her, reaching down to grab Yukiko by the face. Yukiko responds by spitting glass and blood into Katelin’s eyes. The taller woman reels back, swearing, as Yukiko boots her in the belly to make distance. Yukiko rises, a stream of blood pouring from her mouth, sizing Katelin up. Katelin looks up in time to catch a roundhouse kick across the temple, knocking her to the side. Yukiko grabs her by the back and rolls Katelin into the ring. Dropping to her knees, Yukiko scrounges under the ring and pulls out a wooden back before entering the ring.

The Osaka devil stalks towards Katelin before beating her in the face with the bat, driving it down with a flurry of swings. Katelin manages to pull away, her face now covered in blood. She pushes herself up and rips the bat from Yukiko’s hands. Yukiko Matrix-ducks a swing from the bat and kicks Katelin in the bottom of the jaw. Yukiko sweeps Katelin’s legs from under her, knocking her onto her back, and leaping onto her. Using her knees and all her weight, Yukiko pins the back onto Katelin’s throat. Katelin flails to dislodge the woman but it’s of no use. Yukiko is latched on like a feeding tick.

Finally, Destiny sees Katelin is no longer moving and Yukiko isn’t getting off her throat. In a moment of desperation, Destiny shoulder-blocks Yukiko off Katelin and raises the downed woman’s arm.

It falls.

She raises it again.

It falls.

Destiny raises it a third time.

It falls and Destiny points to the timekeeper, trying to stay between the two women.



Alex Lawson: “Your winner, by knockout... YUKIKO KUSANAGI!”

Yukiko stumbles to her wobbly feet, raising her arms in triumph. The audience cheers – less for her but more for the brutality and violence that was displayed. Two hated women faced off and beat each other near to death. What more could they want?

The official goes to raise Yukiko’s hand but she pie-faces her, shoving Destiny away before leaving the ring. Katelin slowly sits up on the mat, not wanting assistance from Destiny or even to get back to her feet at all, instead asking for a microphone. Destiny hands her one, with Katelin sitting on the mat for a few moments processing what's just happened. Eventually, she speaks.

Katelin Descarrilado: "Katelin Descarrilado...is dead."

With that, she drops the microphone, rolling out of the ring and exiting up the ramp as we fade out

WINNER: YUKIKO KUSANAGI
RESULT: KNOCKOUT

It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard

As the lights dim and flash gold all over the arena, a lone spotlight forms at the entrance ramp. After a few moments, Steele Matthews walks out from behind the curtain with his Cheshire cat grin plastered across his face. As he applauds, within a few seconds in an arrogant and exaggerated fashion, Angel Kash herself, walks out as the fans boo loudly.

Hoppin' out the maserati
All I see is paparazzi
Snapping pictures for the
Front cover of a magazine
So I pose in everything I wear
Love to make the people stare
Always center of attention
Lookin' so bootylicious

Angel blows an arrogant kiss to the fans before doing a series of arrogant poses at the top of the ramp. She then says something to Steele as he first goes ahead, before the arrogant rich blonde bombshell does an arrogant supermodel like strut down to the ring, taunting the fans as she walks by them, before rudely sticking out her hand, and flipping her hair arrogantly as she brushes past the fans, not letting them even come close to touching her.

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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: Introducing first...from The Hamptons, New York...weighing in at 128 lbs...Angel! Kash!

She makes her way up the ring steps with Steele, holding her hand from the outside. Steele then hops up onto the apron Angel and holds the ropes open for her; she enters and poses in the center of the ring as the fans boo loudly. After that, she lays on the top turnbuckle nonchalantly taunting the fans as Steele hands her a mirror and she admires her beauty.



Cleveland Rocks hits as we see Serena Riot emerge. She stands atop the entrance as smoke begins to fill out at the bottom. She puts one arm in the air, and the other behind her head, sticking her tongue out, and giving a wink. Now with both arms extended out by her side, she gets in a crawling position, crawling to the ring.

Alex Lawson: And her opponent...from Cleveland, Ohio...weighing in at 150 lbs..."The GOAT"...Serena! Riot!

Eddie Red Apples: Not sure which one of these two the Pittsburgh fans hate more tonight!

Amber Westgate: Honestly I don't think either of them care!

Right as she clears the ramp, she high fives a few fans before rolling in the ring, and doing her pose once more on a turnbuckle.



Serena stares across at Angel and then bends down and waves Angel to her. Angel shakes her head no and laughs. Serena laughs back and waves Angel in again. They start to jaw a bit. Angel dashes at Serena and catches a knee to the gut. Serena pulls Angel in and DDTs her! Angel flops to the mat and rolls over to her back. Serena mounts her and starts unloading with forearms. Angel covers up and the official steps in and pulls Serena away.

Riot stomps around the ring screaming as the crowd roars. She leans over the ropes and looks out at the audience as the referee checks on Angel. Serena grows tired of the delay and goes in and grabs Angel by the hair to pull her up. Angel rakes at Serena’s eyes. Riot stumbles backward and Angel grabs her by the hair and swings her down to the mat. Angel stomps on Serena’s head and then relishes in the boos as she puts a boot on Riot’s back.

Serena rolls over and pushes Angel away. Angel runs back in and tries to punt Serena’s head off! Riot dodges it and rolls away. She rolls Angel into a pin, but before the referee can count she stands and powers Angel up into the air and then slams Kash into the mat. Serena sits there for a moment before pushing Angel back on her shoulders.

ONE…

TWO…

Angel kicks out! Serena wastes no time as she rolls Kash over on her stomach and then locks in a sleeper hold from behind. Kash grabs a hold of Serena’s arm and tries to pry it away. Angel reaches for Serena’s eyes, but Riot pulls her head back away. Angel reaches for the ropes. As she nears them, Serena releases the hold and starts throwing punches into Angel’s back! Serena stops and unleashes a knee into Angel’s back! Kash writhes in pain and rolls under the bottom rope to the outside.

Riot walks to the ropes and heads to the outside. She moves around the outside to pull Angel to her feet. Kash throws a punch at Serena’s gut and backs her off. Angel slides into the ring and Riot stumbles over and follows her into the ring. They both scramble to their feet and launch into an all-out brawl! They trade lightning fast punches as the crowd goes wild!

The longer they go, the more they start to slow down as they run out of gas. Serena grabs Angel and delivers a wild haymaker! Angel takes a step back, and comes back with one of her own. Serena teeters backward and then comes back with another punch! Kash stumbles backward and then takes a step forward and unleashes a slap that sounds throughout the whole arena! Serena lets out a scream and then hits a big boot!

Angel slowly makes her way to her feet and Serena floors her with a clothesline. Angel crawls into the corner and stands up right as Riot sprints in and hits her with an elbow! Angel crumples to the mat and then comes up to her hands and knees and starts crawling toward the middle of the ring. Serena’s eyes light up and she circles around the ring! Riot goes for WICKED WAYS! The curb stomp! Angel rolls out ahead! Serena stumbles past her! Riot turns to face Kash. BUYOUT! Implant DDT! Angel drops her and rolls her over for the pin!

ONE…

THR-

Serena kicks out! Her eyes are wide in surprise. Angel knows she caught her opponent by surprise. Angel quickly pulls her to her feet and keeps a hold of Serena for a moment before nodding and hitting FACE BLOWER! The facebuster plants Serena into the mat! Angel hooks the leg again!

ONE…

Angel sits up and screams! She can’t believe Serena kicked out. Kash stands and paces around the ring. She lets Serena work her way back to a vertical base and then runs in for KASH FLOW! The codebreaker! Serena blocks it! Riot grabs Angel’s legs and then turns her over and locks in the TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Right in the middle of the ring! Angel runs her hands through her hair and screams as she reaches for the ropes!

The crowd boos loudly as Katrina Lopez appears on the stage and then starts walking down the ramp. Serena looks at the ramp in total confusion as the Zion general manager makes her way to the outside of the ring. The distraction is enough to help Angel get leverage as she pulls them across the mat and reaches out and grabs the rope. Riot hangs on as the official counts and lets go at the count of four. Riot releases the hold and steps away to look at Katrina.

Riot looks back at Angel who is on her hands and knees and crawling along the ropes. Serena sprints forward and hits WICKED WAYS! This time the curb stomp lands! Riot lets out a primal scream as she pulls Angel to her feet and picks her up in position for the cradle piledriver! PSYCHOSIS! Riot pulls Angel closer and then goes for the pin!

ONE…

TWO…

THRE-

The official stands and waves off the pin! Serena looks in complete confusion until the referee points and Riot sees Angel’s foot resting on the bottom rope! Serena looks up as the replay in the arena shows Katrina placing Kash’s foot on the bottom rope and then emphatically pointing at it to break up the pin. Serena stands up and looks out at Lopez with her arms outstretched.

Angel gets to her feet and grabs a hold of Serena’s hair from behind. She transitions into a hair pull backbreaker! Serena holds her back in pain as she crawls over to the ropes and uses them to pull herself to her feet. KASH FLOW! The codebreaker lands! Angel lays on her back as Serena is laid out near the ropes. Kash looks up and pulls herself across the mat to lay an arm over Serena.

ONE…

TWO…

Katrina holds Serena’s shoulders to the mat! The referee didn’t see it!

THREE!!!



Eddie Red Apples: What the hell was that?!

Amber Westgate: Our General Manager just cost Serena Riot her match is what the hell that was!

The bell rings as Katrina lets go of the shoulders and Serena emphatically kicks out and turns to stare daggers at the general manager. The official seems to catch on to what just happened, but stands there dumbfounded. Angel rolls over to her back and smiles at her victory. She sits up and looks out at Katrina as the general manager backs her way up the ramp. Serena slides out of the ring and starts marching toward her, but a team of security members surround her and keep her from moving up the ramp after Lopez. Katrina smiles at Serena and then disappears backstage.

WINNER: ANGEL KASH
RESULT: PINFALL

[Kai Morgan]

The scene opens in what looks to be a dark backstage area inside of the arena. It is here where Ravyn & Olivia Nightshade, better known as Code Black, appear in front of the camera, sporting their World Tag Team Championship belts over their shoulders with pride. The ladies are somewhat in an upbeat mood. Quite unusual when it comes to these two. Maybe they are feeling good about something.

Olivia Nightshade: Invasion: Steel City! One of Zion’s biggest shows of the year with Fusion taking its bloody place as the stars! Action packed and hard-hitting action from top to bottom. Well, THIS show is about to get even more BIGGER! Tell em’ Why Sis!

Ravyn Nightshade: Well, we got Angel Kash facing Serena Riot…

Olivia nods her head to compliment what her sister has said.

Olivia Nightshade: I’m feeling that…. but no.

Ravyn Nightshade: Ok, ok. We got Kara Carbajal & Daria Dorsey about to wreck shit up in a steel cage…

Olivia rubs her chin, giving the camera the impression that she’s thinking, before snapping back to answer her sister.

Olivia Nightshade: Intriguing yes…but not even close to being bigger.

Ravyn Nightshade: Oh, you’ve got to be talking about the World Heavyweight Championship match with Zachary Porter defending against Crystal Caldwell…

Olivia playfully slaps on Ravyn’s shoulder three times, in bear with the first three words she revealed.

Olivia Nightshade: Not. Even. Close! There is only ONE BIG thing that’s going to happen in Invasion. It is the night when the world will witness the appearance of the BADDEST tag team in ALL of Zion Wrestling; these two British gangsta bitches who are your reigning, defending, undisputed World Tag Team Champions…Code Black!

Ravyn nods to acknowledge her sister’s statement and then takes over in talking while both ladies keep their focus on the camera.

Ravyn Nightshade: TWO-TIME, BABY! You damn straight! Since the moment we arrived, the whole world saw us making waves in FUSION and ruling its tag team division with an iron fist. Even in the short time we didn’t have these babies. YOU CANNOT DENY that all the hype is real. And the second time around? This is going to get a LOT more interesting because Liv and I, we’re FAR from being done! VAMPS? You know what it feels like. Everyone shows their bluff when given the proper circumstances, and yours was ALWAYS the two of us. Don’t get us wrong. We’re actually going to give you skanks credit. Your reign was….” amusing” at best. And you want to know what was the bloody icing on the cake of that reign? You two BELIEVING that you were going to walk out of FUSION with those titles last month. And if you believe that we don’t want to relive this battle in the ring one more time, then you’re fooling yourselves, mates. ESPECIALLY under the circumstances we’re in now.

Olivia nods her head in response, saying the word “Absolutely” in silence. A few moments later, Olivia begins to speak.

Olivia Nightshade: You know, perspective is a very powerful thing, especially when you’re talking about some things that have sentimental meaning. Jordan (Majors) & Hana (Kaneko), even though we gave you the proper treatment on the last FUSION, don’t think we didn’t do it to you without reason. You may be the freshest tag team in this equation. The fact that you two haven’t competed together long makes you the most dangerous threat in this match…and WE know ALL TOO WELL about being dangerous threats, especially with you Jordan already holding singles gold…. SINGLES GOLD!

Ravyn Nightshade: You two came to your matches against Los Ding Dongs and then against Thalia Starks & Tanja Devereaux looking like a well-oiled machine; dare we say, like a seasoned team that got a WHOLE lot of praise. And one of the catalysts behind this praise is that you showed everyone that you can survive and overcome even the most extremely difficult of situations. And through all your constant pointing out about having to worry only about our size and strength, you found out that on the last show something you didn’t realize; that people who are “relentless” like you? We eat people like them for breakfast and demand more, especially those who attempt to heighten their careers at our expense. Simply put bitches, you’re going to have to climb a lot more than a mountain to take these titles from us.

We can embrace the fact that this night is just the kind of motivation we need. And that’s only because to us, this match at Invasion is more than just another title defense for us. This is about leaving lasting impressions. And if you haven’t figured us out by now, we LOVE to make LASTING impressions….

To drive her point across, Olivia pats her championship belt with authority, never losing her focus on the camera as she continues to speak.

Olivia Nightshade: …. May God have mercy by ALL OF YOU if we ever do.

Ravyn Nightshade: Every time we step in that ring, OUR warzone, we have something to prove, only now, it goes a lot further. For you Jordan, Hana and VAMPS, you ALL have fallen into the same trap what everyone else thus far has done in your position. It’s clear that you’ve mustered yourselves some balls to step into the fire like this, much less embracing the challenge and being more than eager to take us down and securing these titles from us. And now here the four of you are, center stage in “Steel City” into what is to become the most exhilarating experience of your life… sealed with our personal “stamps” of approval as we imprint your bodies onto the mat, no compassion and absolutely no bloody mercy. So, all need to ask yourselves these questions: Are you really going to be able to endure what happens to you? Do you genuinely believe that reaching out and getting the cheers from the crowd or pulling from your bag of tricks is going to carry you through this hellacious beatdown we’re going to give you? You all can swear up and down that you have confidence in each other and feel you have the right chemistry. But at the end of the day, victims will be victims. And you all are DEFINITELY our favorites! Keep dropping the facts!

Olivia “takes the baton” from her sister and focuses on the camera to address it.

Olivia Nightshade: What you two are going to be seeing across the ring is something that will NEVER leave your mind; a fate you will be forced to live with, and everyone else who will eventually come across. But we don’t have to tell you that again do we because you’ve never already been through it right, with you VAMPS? Well, you haven’t. WE are ALWAYS the mistresses of our destiny. And our destiny lies in the fact that we’re the ones with championship gold here. In short, WE have a LOT to gain in this upcoming match! And you have NO IDEA how far we will go to assure that we stomp out of Pittsburgh the same way we’re stomping in: STILL the World Tag Team Champions. And just in case you’re not getting the moral of this story, loves, here it is: You all will continue to build on a successful career after this night; capitalizing on a bright future that lies ahead for both of you going forward. You will continue to have our respect of your peers and any of those dingbats who love you. And, most importantly, you will have plenty of nights where you two will stand over your competition celebrating your victories, hearing your names spoken loud by the ring announcer to announce your continued dominance…. while you worship us as YOUR rulers! Code Black are here to close another chapter of a legacy that we’re continuing to write. And unfortunately for you four, as fantastic as this match is going to be and how high the stakes will be….

At this time, Olivia places her hand on Ravyn’s back pocket and pulls out an iPhone to show to the camera; video footage of a huge explosion.

Olivia Nightshade: Your ending has been written out…. “GAME OVER”!!!!

With grunts, the ladies shove the camera backwards, forcing the camera to fall. The camera regains focus as it now points to the ceiling. However, the empty view didn’t last long as the sisters approach the camera to stomp on it, forcing it to go to static.

[Kai Morgan]

Alex Lawson: The following tag team contest…is a Triple Threat Tag Team Match…scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

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





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.





uddenly, the sound of an air raid siren blares into the arena. Seconds later, red and blue spotlights begin to roam around the arena while one of them (sporting a red & blue mixture) focuses on the stage and the ramp.

Accompanying this, we hear a 20 second snippet from the Halloween -The Shape Stalks by John Carpenter…


Then, as a moment of static interrupts the music…

BOOM!

A cloud of smoke covers the stage, covering the area with it as the intro to "Psycho Bitch" (Instrumental) by Tech N9ine begins to play. Then, as the song begins, Ravyn & Olivia Nightshade emerge from the stage and come down the ramp, playing off to the thunderous reaction of the crowd. As they get to the halfway point, Ravyn and Olivia turn and look at each other, firing each other up. After a while, they pound fists, sprint towards the ring and split up on opposite sides of the ring, where they simultaneously slide under the ropes to get in the ring. They get on their feet and each go to a corner and climb to the top, holding their arms in the air while flashing a "W" to the booing crowd, soaking in the reaction and the flashing cameras.

After doing this for a while, Ravyn and Olivia jump down and go to their corner, taking off their jackets and while they await for the match to begin.

Jordan surveys the ring and then backs up to the ropes and climbs back to the apron.

Olivia turned to get up and ate a superkick! She stumbles backward into the corner and Jordan is right behind her for DONK BONK! Ravyn with a spear in the corner! She hits Jordan, but Olivia takes some damage, too! Ravyn grabs Jordan and whips her to the corner across the ring. She grabs Olivia and does the same! TASTE THAT LEATHER BITCH! Jordan hits the mat! Olivia misses and gets her leg caught up. Jordan stands and dumps her out of the ring!

Ravyn flies in and Jordan rolls away from the corner. Ravyn follows her and grabs her. Ravyn goes for a suplex! Jordan twists out of it and kicks Ravyn. She goes for the DDT! Ravyn twists out of it and goes for a DDT of her own! Jordan counters and pushes Ravyn away! Ravyn with a springboard roundhouse kick! Jordan ducks it! CASH OUT! Ravyn turned back into the cutter! Jordan plants her and goes for the pin!

ONE…

TWO…

THRE-

WHAT!? Hana stomps on the back of Jordan’s head! She breaks up the pin! Jordan grabs at her head and looks at Hana in total confusion as Hana pulls her to her feet. HEADLESS SWORDSMAN! Hana with the emerald flowsion and Jordan is out! Hana drags Jordan’s lifeless body over to Ravyn as she tries to recover. Olivia slides into the ring next to Ravyn and they both look at Hana. They smile at Hana and nod. Kaneko with a knowing nod back to them!

Eddie Red Apples: WHAT THE HELL?!

Amber Westgate: Jordan Majors and Hana Kaneko were just a hair away from becoming the new World Tag Team Champions! The hell is Kaneko thinking?!

Olivia pulls Jordan to her feet as Hana leaves the ring. Olivia lifts Jordan over her shoulder and then tosses her backward as Ravyn runs in for a jumping cutter! THE FLATLINER! Code Black adds insult to injury! Ravyn goes for the pin as Olivia guards the ring!

ONE…

TWO…

THREE!!!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…and STILL Zion Wrestling WORLD! TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONS!...CODE! BLACK!

Eddie Red Apples: I…I don’t know what to make of this! Why the hell would Hana Kaneko throw a partnership with Jordan Majors when they could’ve been the World Tag Team Champions?!

Amber Westgate: I don’t think Jordan Majors is gonna have to wait long for an explanation! Look at this!

As the bell rings, Hana slides back in with the tag titles. She walks over to Olivia and Ravyn as they approach and stands between them. She hands them their belts and then lifts their arms up in the air as they stand together in a chorus of loud boos. Hana breaks the celebration to stand over Jordan. She bends down over her and grabs a handful of her hair before lifting her face to say something to her. She shoves her face back down toward the mat. The camera pans to the VAMPS sitting together in shock on the outside before it goes back to Hana leaving with Code Black.

WINNERS: CODE BLACK (CHAMPIONSHIPS RETAINED)
RESULT: PINFALL

[Kai Morgan]

The camera opens on the arena, focusing on the ring enclosed in a steel cage. The camera cuts to Alex Lawson in the center of the ring.

Alex Lawson: “Ladies and gentlemen, our next bout is a steel cage match. Introducing first, standing at five feet seven inches and one hundred fifty-two pounds, hailing from Rochester, New York... DARIA DORSEY!”

The opening notes would play as Daria comes out with a green and white boxing robe, as she turned around which revealed her last name. She would then pose briefly, before turning around to reveal the belt around her waist as she shadowboxed on the way to the ramp and raises both of her arms up. Daria would slap the hands of fans on the way to the ring, as the champ enters under the bottom rope, before rolling in and readying to fight.

Alex Lawson: “And her opponent, standing at six feet and one hundred sixty pounds… KARA ‘THE KILLER’ CARBAJAL!!”

The opening to “The Gun Show” by In This Moment begins to play through the PA system and as soon as Maria Brink’s vocals kick in, Kara "Killer" Carbajal storms out onto the stage with a snarl on her face and stops on stage before turning around to reveal the Shieldmaidens logo on the back of her kutte as she stretches out her arms displaying the devil's horns with her hands before she swiftly turns around and begins to storm down the ramp.

When Carbajal reaches the bottom of the ramp, she wastes little time in rolling under the bottom rope and marches to the middle of the ring and outstretches her arms again displaying the devil’s horns, still maintaining that vicious snarl as she begins mouthing off to anyone in ear shot as “The Gun Show” fades out.

Alex hurries from the ring as the cage is locked behind her. Kara and Daria hungrily eye each other, each brimming with murderous intent. Daria smirks triumphantly as she calls from across the ring.

Daria: “You’re locked in here with me, bitch! No friends to help or protect you!”

Kara only smiles evilly.

The referee motions for the bell.

Daria rushes at Kara, prepared to slam into her full force. Instead, she runs straight into a powerful bitchslap that knocks her to the side. She looks up at the Killer, stunned, who merely mouths the words, “Try again,” with a cruel smile.

Daria gets to her feet, taking a few steps back and sizing up the situation. She launches back, aiming a kick for Kara’s head, but the Killer intercept the leg and twists it, sending Daria to the mat. Still clutching the leg, Kara bends it back til the sole touches the back of Daria’s head. Then, hauling her own leg back, Kara drives a knee into Daria’s exposed gut before releasing her and letting her crumple to the side.

Kara stands up and casually strides around Daria, raising her hands as if to say, “Is that it?” Daria fumes with rage as she punches the canvas and rises. But before she can get up all the way, Kara grabs her from behind and German suplexes her to the mat. Kara gets up, grabs hold of Daria again, and German suplexes her again… and again, and finally, just heaves her over her shoulders and sends Daria into turnbuckles.

Daria stares up at the lights through the grated top of the cage, heaving her breath. She has to turn this around somehow. But before she can contemplate further, a boot scrapes across her face like Kara’s wiping mud off on a mat. She closes her eyes instinctively, never seeing the kick Kara soon sends into the side of her head.

Daria rolls a few feet before Kara stops her and goes for a pin, but the referee doesn’t even get to the mat before Daria bucks her off. The Shieldmaiden shrugs and starts to rise, and that’s when Daria strikes. A kick to the back of Kara’s knee makes her stumble, and it’s enough time for Daria to get back up and send a spinning kick to the base of Kara’s skull. The amazon falls forward, catching herself with her hands. Daria gets up and runs at Kara, flipping and double-stomping in the back of Kara’s head before flipping backwards and landing with her knees in the small of Kara’s back.

Daria looks to the fans and raised her hands, absorbing their appreciation. Behind her, however, Kara slowly gathers herself up. Daria turns just in time to catch a hand clutching her throat, squeezing it. The Shieldmaiden looks prepared to hoist Daria up but Dorsey pulls her knees up and lets gravity pull her down. As she hit the mat, Daria rolls back and thrust her knees up to greet Kara’s face as the Amazon is pulled down behind her. Kara clutches her face as Daria scrambles to get up.

Kara is up first, however, and rushes for a lariat. Daria manages to duck it, letting her attacker hit the ropes. On the return, Daria grabs Kara and lifts her for a stungun. The Amazon merely punches her, full force, in the crown and drives Daria to her knees. Kara punishes Daria for her attempt to reverse fortunes with a big boot.

Kara leans down and scoops Daria up, hoisting her up in a gorilla press before launching her out of the ring. Dorsey slams into the chain links of the cage and topples down. Kara happily follows after, picking Dorsey up in a powerbomb and hurling her through the cage wall, slamming into the barricade outside. Kara casually walks out after and plants a boot on Daria’s throat, choking her and giving a cartoonishly bored yawn. Dorsey flails, trying to dislodge the larger woman, but to no avail. It’s only when Kara decides to stop that she releases, allowing Dorsey to gasp for air.

Daria knows she needs to even the odds. She looks to the top of the cage. Or get the high ground.

Kara pulls Daria up be her arm and yanks the shorter woman into a stiff lariat, knocking her down again. She casually walks over Daria like she’s trash, grinding her heels into her face. Daria, angered, shoves the Amazon off. This sudden fire annoys Kara who starts to yank Daria up. Dorsey, in desperation, shove her elbow into Kara’s knee, then reaches behind her and pulls Kara’s legs from under her. As Kara topples, Daria stands, kicks her in the mouth and stomps her in the head before running to the cage and starting to climb.

Daria reaches the top of the ring and looked down and sees Kara almost halfway up. Daria debates letting Kara reach the top, but realizes there’s always a chance she’s deflect or, worse yet, reverse any attack. But as she’s climbing, Kara can’t really do much but take it. Daria turns her back to the fans and hops backwards, dropping straight down. Kara looks up just in time to see two wrestling boots speeding towards her face. Instinct demands Kara pull her hands to her face, which she does. Instinct is, however, wrong, and as she takes the impact she loses grip on the side of the cage and falls to the area outside the cage. Daria manages to grab onto the side of the cage and resumes climbing, eventually getting back to the top.

Daria looks down, watching like a hungry vulture. Eventually, Kara stirs, pushing herself up to all fours. That’s when Daria unleashes, throwing herself off the cage and dropping onto Kara in a senton bomb. The Amazon is crushed to the floor. Daria herself felt the impact hard but still manages to stumble up, proud of herself, chanting, “ She’s done! She’s done!” to the fans.

But while Daria busies herself slapping hands with fans and celebrating her obviously impending victory, Kara stirs. Slowly, the Amazon rolls over, taking in deep breaths. She cannot even pretend that didn’t hurt. It did. It hurt like a bitch. Which means it’s time to hurt a bitch in return.

Daria turns in time to see Kara on her feet and swears, wondering what it will take to stop this woman. She slams a backfist into Kara, who takes it and grunts. Daria throws a right cross to Kara, who takes it and stumbles back. Daria grins. Apparently the Amazon can, in fact, be hurt. She leaps onto Kara, wrapping her legs around the Killer’s waist, and begins punching her in the face. Kara does not attempt to remove her. In fact, she holds onto Daria and begins slamming her into everything. She knocks her head against the barricade, the against the outside of the cage. She runs back into the cage and slams Daria into the ringpost, crushing her against it over and over. Finally, Daria’s grip loosens and she slides off. Kara merely spins Daria around, palms the back of her head and begins slamming it into the ringpost over and over, sending loud clangs into the arena. With each impact, Daria’s posture loosens. Finally, Kara grabs her around the waist and suplexes her into the steps.

The fan favorite lays out on the floor, looking all but done. But Kara isn’t done.

Kara heaves Daria up and places her, face down, on her shoulder. She walks up the aisle about twenty feet before turning and breaking into a run. Just as she passes the first row, Kara launches Daria like a lawndart through the fenced cage. The chain links give way, scraping at Daria, gashing her gear and skin, before her shoulder bites into the ringpost. Kara rushes up behind her and curbstomps Daria back into the floor, laying her flat.

The Killer hauls Daria up to her feet and begins to send a series of punches into her face, like working over a punching back. Exhaustion has taken Daria over and she’s not even able to raise her hands to block, taking every hit as she watches Kara helpless through bleary eyes.

Finally Kara clamps her hands onto Daria’s throat and lifts her up as high as she can. Daria dangles like a broken toy as Kara parades her all around the ring to the jeers of the crowd. Once every side of the fans have seen Dorsey’s limp form, Kara slings her into the ring and follows suit. She casually gets into the ring and drags Daria to the center of the ring by her tresses. She hauls Daria to her feet, Dorsey not offer any fight.

Kara looks around, feigning shock, before looking at Daria.

Kara: “Daria, I’m so confused. I thought I was locked in here with you. Without friends to save me. What happened?”

Daria looked up at Kara, her jaw hanging open. Kara grinned.

Kara: “Oh. This happened.”

Kara slams and uppercut that knocks Daria back but the Killer grabs her by the wrist and pulls her back, lifting her up. Kara spears Daria into the mat before straddling her for a merciless ground and pound. The referee sees this and, wanting to end the brutality, drops and attempts a count.

One…

Two…

Thr--

Kara pulls Daria up by the hair and wags a finger at the ref. She releases Daria’s hair and lets her head drop back to the mat and continues the barrage of hits before hauling her right hand back and decimating Daria with a jaw punch. The lovable narcissist’s head rockets to the side and she lies still. Kara stands and places a boot on Daria’s face, motioning for the official to count. As he starts to slap out the count, Kara offers a few Jojo-esque poses.

One…

Two…

THREE!

Alex Lawson: “Your winner by pinfall… KARA CARBAJAL”

The Shieldmaiden keeps her boot on Daria’s face as the official raises her arm. She pulls her arm from the ref and flexes, showing off her physique. She finally removes her foot, stoops and backhands Daria. Dorsey slowly stirs before Kara clutches her by the throat and lifts her up. Kara scowls at her defeated enemy as she speaks.

Kara: “I broke you today. Never forget that. You were weak. You will always be weaker than me. Less than me. Never forget that.”

With that, Kara drops Daria and lets her crumple to the mat like a half-full trash bag before turning and leaving, letting the EMTs check on the woman she vanquished.

WINNER: KARA CARBAJAL
RESULT: PINFALL

[Kai Morgan]

The arena goes black as we see on the tron, just a picture of winged warrior, a Valkyrie flying from the sky, their red hair flowing behind them, sword raised.

Hear the call for all and the chosen ones
Far away, but all like one
Come together, we've just begun
Chant till Valhalla comes
Chanting till Valhalla comes

As the music hits, the warrior is seen dropping down to the floor, sword hitting the ground first as the lights come on and we see Christina Olson, on one knee, head down, and wings spread out.

Crowd:
Arise!
Into the final battle
There's a fire in my blood

Crowd:
Let's fight!
Trough the shadowland
There is light to lead us all

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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Asheville, North Carolina…weighing in at 120 lbs…Christina! Olson!

Christina throws her head up and gets to her feet and throws her fist into the air and makes her way towards the ring. She gets to the ring as the chorus hits. She walks around the ring, getting the fans to sing along a little to the chorus of the song as she does the same thing.

Crowd:
Come with me, through the fire!
Burning so real!
And tonight, we rise higher!
Sworn to the steel!

Chrissy loses the wings and drops them to the floor as she hops up onto the apron and gets into the ring with a cocky, yet confident grin on her face and she runs to the top rope and backflips off as the music fades out.



A single high-pitched scream cues the arena lights to illuminate the stage from darkness as red spotlights. They soon settle and focus on a single subject, Morgana Summers. She makes her way to the ring taking her sweet time, pretty and proud, dark blue pyro going off lining the ramp, her arms out as if she was cuing them herself.

Alex Lawson: And her opponent…from Danvers, Massachusetts…weighing in at 122 lbs…The Prettiest Pagan…Morgana! Summers!

Eddie Red Apples: Morgana Summers making her in ring debut here in Zion after weeks of mind games against Christina Olson!

Amber Westgate: Olson looks ready and raring to go, but it should be noted that it’d be unwise to get too worked up against an opponent like–

Before Amber can finish her speech, Olson explodes out of the ring, nailing Summers with a Suicide Dive! She mounts the The Banshee Witch, nailing her with strike after strike before getting her to her feet and throwing her into the steel steps at ringside! She stands at the end of the aisleway, trying to regain her composure after an angry assault on her rival! The referee demands Olson to bring Summers into the ring to start the match! She walks over to her opponent, looking to scoop her up and throw her under the bottom rope! But Summers quickly reverses, throwing Olson head first into the steel steps herself with Snake Eyes! She doubles down on her attack, throwing Olson right into the side of the steps so hard the top half pops off its frame! The referee furthers their demands for the match to begin, threatening to throw it out entirely if they didn’t get into the ring now! Summers smiles, throwing Olson into the ring under the bottom rope before sliding in herself as the ref calls for the bell!



Summers leers over Olson as she attempts to regain vertical base, kicking her down everytime she even remotely makes her way back up! She eventually tires of playing with her food, getting Olson up off the mat and dropping her with a Vertical Suplex! She goes for the pin, determined to end this one as quickly as possible to spite her opponent!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Olson! Summers smiles, getting Olson to her feet once again before going for a Butterfly Backbreaker! Olson escapes however, landing on her feet before sending Summers to the mat with a Russian Legsweep! She follows up, popping up into the air off the mat for a Standing Moonsault! She gets Summers off the mat, throwing her into the corner and nailing her with boot after boot to the midsection! Summers is reeling now, but Olson hardly gives her any time to recover, mounting the second turnbuckle and wailing on her with shot after shot to the top of the head! Summers eventually fights back, pushing Olson over the top rope to ward her off and get some distance! Olson clings to the top rope, pulling herself back up to the apron! Summers catches wind of this, immediately going after Olson before catching a Kick over the ropes for her troubles! Olson looks to fly now, Springboarding off the top rope and launching herself into the ring towards Summers! She ducks underneath the attack however, causing Olson to roll to the mat upon landing! She pops back up to her feet, rushing after Summers, who sidesteps her and sends her into the ropes! Olson pivots and takes advantage, jumping to the second rope for a Flight of the Valkyrie! But Summers scurries away, rushing under the bottom rope and out of the ring to avoid the aerial attack! Olson lands on her feet and stares at her opponent on the outside!

It’s by this point that you can truly tell that Summers is testing Olson’s patience, leaning against the apron and looking at her with a smug expression on her face as the referee counts away! Summers knows she’ll lose if the count reaches ten, but she also knows that Olson wouldn’t let her chance to hurt her slip through her fingers this easily! She’s eventually proven right as Olson exits the ring to go after her at the count of seven, giving chase across to her across the ringside area! Summers eventually rushes back into the ring, with Olson sliding in after her! By this point, she expects Summers to be right on top of her, taking advantage of the higher ground she has! But she instead slides into the ring to see Summers sitting right into front of her, cross-legged and smiling! Olson grows more infuriated with her opponent as she pops to her feet and goes for a Penalty Kick! Summers ducks underneath it however, laying herself out on the mat as Olson looks for a Standing Moonsault for the save! Summers rolls out of the way however, leading to Olson landing on her feet in front of her! She takes advantage of this, grabbing hold of Olson’s ankle and pulling her face first to the mat! She floats over her back, pulling her up to her feet and towards the corner by her head before going for a Tornado DDT!

Olson fights back however, pushing Summers off and sending her over the top rope and to the floor below! She takes advantage, hitting the ropes and looking for a Suicide Dive! But Summers moves out of the way before Olson can dive out of the ring! Summers looks to flee now, walking across the ringside area and towards the entrance ramp in order to leave! But Olson doesn’t let her off the easy, sliding out of the ring and towards her now exiting opponent! This seems to be exactly what Summers wanted however, nailing Olson in the midsection with an Elbow the moment she feels her touch, before throwing her head first into the barricade! She follows up, getting her in a Butterfly position before slamming her back first onto the barricade with a Butterfly Backbreaker! She throws Olson into the ring, before following her back in!

She takes to the second rope now, looking to catch Olson with the Lunar Crash! Olson moves out of the way of the Lionsault however, with Summers landing on her feet and immediately falling into a criss-crossed position on the mat in front of Olson to taunt her again! Olson doesn’t let this get to her again however, quickly popping up and nailing Summers with a stiff right hook to the side of the head! Summers staggers back to her feet, with Olson rushing over and hitting her with a Satellite DDT!! She seizes the advantage now, taking to the second rope and nailing FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIE!! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT CONNECTS!! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!


TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Summers! Olson remains undeterred however, taking to the top rope as Summers remains on the mat! The pain in Olson’s back becomes a bit much to bear, however, causing her climb to not be as fast as she’d like! Summers exploits this, getting to her feet and pushing Olson’s foot as she finally makes it up, racking her over the top turnbuckle! She climbs up with her, getting her in a comfortable position before dropping her to the mat with a Superplex! Olson’s back is on fire by this point, with insult being added to injury as Summers skips around her on the mat, not even trying to capitalize! She eventually waits Olson out, luring her to her feet before nailing her with the DRAGON’S IRE!! CODEBREAKER CONNECTS!! SUMMERS JUST CONNECTED WITH LILITH MEADOWS’ FINISHER!! She once again shows Olson disrespect, crawling on top of her for the pin without even hooking the leg!

ONE…!

KICK OUT AT ONE!! KICK OUT AT ONE BY OLSON!! Summers looks on in utter shock as she sees Olson slowly rise back up to her feet, angry beyond all belief! Summers rushes her, looking to take her down with a Clothesline before she can make a move! But Olson ducks underneath it, before laying into her with a bevy of strikes that send her into the corner! She runs to the opposite corner now, returning to Summers with a Body Splash before pushing her out of the corner and hopping to the second turnbuckle to hit a Crossbody! She gets Summers up to her feet, getting her to the corner and hitting a TORNADO DDT!! She gets to the top rope, looking to seal the deal with the Banshee’s Cry! But before she can take off, the lights go out!

For a moment, no one’s able to see or hear a thing, with the shock of the outage causing the collective silence of the fans in attendance. Eventually, the PA system starts to pipe up again, with Lilith Meadows’ being projected through randomly changing individual speakers, making it seem like she’s moving across the arena! She cries out progressively louder for Olson as she looks around confused. After a while, the arena falls silent again, and lights come back up, revealing Summers standing right behind Olson on the top rope! She throws her off yet again, this time immediately getting position before hitting the PAGAN PRACTICE!! DIVING SPLIT LEG DROP CONNECTS!! Summers hooks the leg!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!




Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Morgana! Summers!

Eddie Red Apples: I…I can’t even begin to tell you what just happened here…

Amber Westgate: That was certainly…a win for Morgana Summers in her debut!

Summers stands over Olson, her hand raised by the official as we fade out!

WINNER: MORGANA SUMMERS
RESULT: PINFALL

[Kai Morgan]

We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Crystal Caldwell. Her bluish Green hair cascades down her back. She bounces about as she looks deep into the lens of the camera. She seems to be sitting in a Hollywood actors chair and gazes into a huge vanity mirror.



Crystal: Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the most beautiful of them all?!



Crystal laughs as she replies back.



Crystal: Why of course it is yours truly. I mean why wouldn’t it be?! I am a perfect ten by my own metrics and to be blunt I am the best damn thing to grace a Zion ring. I know a lot of people may have said shit about me being here. Mainly I know Zachary Porter was so eager to run his fucking mouth. He doesn’t want there to be any excuse when we face off against one another. He was so quick to try to get in the middle of me and Jessi’s little Twitter fight. Let me explain something to you Zachary.



Crystal licks her lips as she crosses her legs.



Crystal: I am a top notch star. I am the featured attraction and I expect the red carpet to be rolled out for me WHEREVER I go… As the Burning Rose I intend to set this entire shit on fire and I doubt anybody will have the ability to extinguish my flames. Can you say flame on?!



Crystal nods her head as she continues to speak.



Crystal: What makes tonight sad however is the fact that I have to compete in a fucking dump. Everything felt so amazing when I debut in my beloved Detroit but now in the Steel City I have to get through an obnoxious little twit to prove that I belong. Newsflash the attention should ALWAYS be on me. Can’t you see greatness when it is looking at you in the face Porter?! Can’t you see the face of a woman who is an Academy Award winner?! Somebody who deserves a Grammy and is just about the best thing to have ever debut in this company in a very long time.



Crystal licks her lips as she speaks some more.



Crystal: If I didn’t know any better and with the last name that I have attached myself too I would be thrilled to say that I am indeed DAT GIRL…. 19 Times across a career that has spanned 17 years I have held the top spot. I have been the best. I have been inducted into four different Hall of Fame Classes and the level of pedigree won’t falter now that I am in Zion.



Crystal is very passionate as she speaks some more.



Crystal: There is only One thing that is on my mind and that is to become the World Heavyweight Champion and I plan to do so by any means necessary. I don’t give a damn if it’s by hook or definitely by crook. The fact is that as long as I walk away as the champion that is the only thing that matters to me.



Crystal nods her head as she continues to speak some more.



Crystal: So bring me that energy… Give me all you got but let it be known that it simply won’t be enough. After tonight you will be an afterthought Zachary. I will be the champion and I will reign as the Queen over Fusion. Tick Tock… It is only a matter of time… See you soon chump..



With that Crystal is all grins as we fade out on her.

[Kai Morgan]

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

Crowd: ONE FALL!

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



The entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness. All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.

"I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every line like "This is it!"

As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros.

Theater by Icon for Hire plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the blue and green haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Caldwell walks from the curtains and makes her way to the ring. In front of her is paparazzi who snap photo after photo of her. Crystal is focused as she walks to the ring with a purpose. She however slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way. She runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. Flashes from the paparazzi go off one after another. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She tosses her Shoto inspired hoodie into the crowd as she awaits the start of the match.



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.

Alex Lawson: Introducing first, the challenger…from Detroit, Michigan…weighing in at 115 lbs…Crystal! Caldwell!

And her opponent…from Laredo, Texas…weighing in at 190 lbs…he is the Zion Wrestling WORLD! HEAVYWEIGHT! CHAMPION!...ZACHARY! PORTER!



These two don’t waste any time getting a feel for each other here, immediately going in for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up off the bell! Caldwell gets the advantage off the gate, getting around Porter to cinch in a Waistlock! She quickly follows up, lifting the World Champion off the mat and throwing him face first to the canvas with a Shoot Throw! She continues the hold on a now seated Porter, taking the wind out of his sales with a few gut wrenching squeezes! Porter eventually finds an escape route, pushing himself back up to a vertical base and prying Caldwell’s arms from around his waist before switching into a Waistlock of his own! She drops Caldwell with a German Suplex before immediately looking to end this one by going to the top rope, possibly looking for Paradise Lost! But Caldwell immediately pops to her feet, wagging a finger towards Porter in playful defiance!

Porter comes down from the ropes, with Caldwell circling the ring with him! The two eventually go in on each other, settling into another Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! This time, Porter gets the upper hand initially, wringing Caldwell’s arm with a Wristlock! She reverses however, unwringing her arm before sending a boot into Porter’s midsection! Porter is hunched over, leaving an opening for Caldwell to hit the ropes! But he catches her off guard upon her return, hopping over her for a LeapFrog! Caldwell hits the ropes again, this time being dodged by a Drop Down! Caldwell once again hits the ropes, however this time she’s met with an attempted Slingblade by Porter! She reverses however, catching Porter and dropping him on her knee with a Backbreaker! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Porter! Caldwell pulls Porter up to his feet, going for a Snapmare before sending a Kick to his back that resonates across the arena! The crowd lets out a disgusted “ooo” as Caldwell hits the ropes and drives through Porter with a Penalty Kick! She gets Porter up to his feet again, this time locking hands with him and rushing over to the ropes before jumping to the top and going for a Springboard Hurricanrana! She gets caught by surprise however, with Porter maintaining his balance and delivering a Powerbomb to Caldwell instead! She scrambles to roll away, once again wanting to stay out of range for a Paradise Lost from the World Champion! She gets to knee on the mat, with her and Porter staring each other down intensely! She gets back up to her feet, immediately going for a Clothesline to Porter! He ducks underneath however, looking to drop Caldwell with a German Suplex! She escapes the slam however, flipping out of the move and landing on her feet before going for a Double Foot Stomp to a prone Porter! Porter moves out of the way however, rolling Caldwell up with a Schoolboy!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Caldwell! Porter doesn’t let up on her however, catching her with a Kick to the side of the head as she rolls back to her knees, causing her to stagger back into the ropes! He takes advantage now, rushing over and nailing her with a Knee Strike against the ropes! He rushes to the opposite side of the ring, looking to gain some momentum for another strike! But Caldwell catches up with him, running over and nailing him with a Knee Strike of her own against the ropes! She quickly transitions, following up with an Enziguri that sends Porter to the mat! She looks to follow up once again, this time looking for a Springboard Moonsault! But Porter moves out of the way, sliding outside of the ring under the bottom rope! Caldwell has this well scouted however, landing on her feet inside the ring before rushing towards the ropes and diving out for a small Suicide Dive to Porter!
