We come in to sold out PPG Paints Arena! A huge pyro set goes off over the stage as we cut to the announce table!
Eddie Red Apples: Less than a week off from an action packed YouTube Invasion PPV, we are back with the Most Exciting Two Hours of Wrestling on the Internet! Welcome to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Eddie Red Apples joined as always by my broadcast colleague Amber Westgate!
Amber Westgate: We got a huge night of action in store for the Fusion faithful here tonight! Four, count em, FOUR qualifiers for our upcoming Victory Series tournament and a YouTube Championship match to cap it all off! What’s not to love?!
The lights go out. The haunting ballad of “Lux Aeterna” begins to play. As the song plays the lights don’t come back on, the haunting ballad continues. Finally the fans are given relief as the lights in the arena come back to life. Zachary Porter stands on top the stage with his World Championship held in his right hand. He raises the championship in the air. The crowd roars with excitement. He slings the World Championship over his shoulder. He slowly walks down to the ring. Once he reaches the ring he walks up the steel steps, enters the ring. Walks over to the nearest turnbuckle, stands on the middle one. He raises the World Championship in the air to the thunderous ovation from the crowd. Hopping down he walks over to where the ring announcer is. He asks for a microphone. After being handed one he walks over to the center of the ring. He waits for his music to die down. Once they do, he brings the mic to his lips.
Zachary Porter: “How is everyone in Memphis doing today?”
The crowd cheers, letting the World Champion know they are in a pleasant mood to start the first edition of Fusion post Invasion: Steel City. This brings a smile to Zach’s face.
Zachary Porter: “I am in a damn good mood too... all things considered.”
“Still being your World Champion is a positive thing. Never knew how rewarding it would feel to represent Zion Wrestling everywhere we travel. Haven’t taken for granted the responsibility being perceived as the top person on the brand. Common misconception out there. We look at the champion of a company. The CEO of an organization. We connect that title to a position of authority. I still maintain I am no better than the rest of you out there. And I know what you’re thinking, you’ve heard this same song and dance from other people before. Fair enough. I hope my actions have proven beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt that I mean exactly what I tell you night in and night out.”
“Heck, I still feel uncomfortable coming out every week. No one comes to a Fusion program to hear me speak. You pay to watch us destroy each other. I will try my best not to ramble on for a twenty minute monologue. I’ll get straight to the point.”
“Crystal Caldwell...”
The crowd boos at the mention of Crystal’s name. Zach nods, letting them know he understands.
Zachary Porter: “You seemed shocked I didn’t want to be a guest on your Rose Garden. Here’s why; I am not going to reward bad behavior. What did you expect? You blindsided me after you drove Angel Kash away. On what planet do you think I would be a guest on your talk show? To listen to the reason why you are what everyone in this industry has been saying for years... that you’re a bad seed? I heard the stories. You turned your back on your wife among others. You tried putting up this facade that you changed. Safe to say your road to redemption hit a speed bump. I am not even pissed off believe it or not. I let my guard down, I should have seen it coming but I didn’t. If there is a next time between us, you won’t get the jump on me again.”
Last but not certainly least. Angel Kash.
Predictably, the crowd boos, remembering how Angel defeated Serena at Invasion with the assistance of the general manager of Zion. Zach motions for the crowd to calm down so he can get what he needs to say off his chest.
Zachary Porter: “I know. I know. I know. Angel and the Privileged Elite aren't favorites of mine either. Their history with The Crown is all written in stone. Don’t know what type of deal you made with Katrina to screw over Serena over, know this Angel. We are two different people. You believe growing up privileged entitles you to look down on everyone. Newsflash, I was born privileged too. Had a silver spoon in my mouth. Still drive fancy cars and wear the finest clothes. Sometimes. I do love my leather jacket.”
Zachary smiles. His smile fades away. Facial expression grows a lot more stern.
Zachary Porter: “In any event. Angel. Growing up rich isn’t the end all be all. Just means we had it a lot better than most. What you are missing is perspective. Should the day come when you challenge me for the World Championship, I am fully prepared to open your eyes to the truth. And that truth is, as long as I am holding this championship, I am going to protect its legacy from a pariah like you. All Katrina did was set you up for a wake up call of a lifetime. Send your toy soldiers. I have no problem knocking them down like I knocked down every other challenge in the past.”
Zachary Porter holds up the World Championship as “Lux Aeterna” plays. The crowd cheers as the crowd continue to cheer on their World Champion. Scene fades.
The scene begins, fading into a black smoke. Tall black boots walk into shot.
We now see muted footage from Invasion: Steel City. Christina is on the top rope and the lights go out. We get an elapsed view of Christina frantic and distracted.
“Oh, the drama! Weren’t we all cheering Chrissy on? She was struggling with self belief and getting over her traumatic past! She was about to become a star! But then…”
We catch the ending of the Invasion matchup, we hear nothing but the crowd as it counts along with the referee's hand.
The camera fades back into black smoke. With the sound of snapped fingers clears the smoke to reveal the black boots belonged to none other than Morgana Summers. She shrugs casually.
“Was it the cleanest victory? No, it wasn’t. Does it make a villain? Does it make me a monster? Of course not! Using mind games is smart, not evil. It wasn’t my fault that Ms. Olson just was not capable of the mental strength to get a W.”
Morgana sighs, partially annoyed and partially saddened.
“Now, I beg of you, Zion faithful, Zion locker room. Please don’t get it twisted. Despite my questionable moral ground, I am not heartless, or a monster. In fact? I’m generous, I’m a hero! Before me? Christina was just floating in Zion. She was treading water. It proved hard for her to gain any traction here. I SHARED MY SPOTLIGHT with her. I put and kept some attention on her. I gave her the chance to show Zion that she wasn't just another body on the roster. I made people keep caring about her. For just a few weeks, I got her to really try. For a few short weeks, I SAVED her career.
Of course, sadly, despite my efforts to…oh I don’t know, inspire her, or to breathe new life into her career on the path to success, it seems she has once again reverted to her old self.
I can do magic. Maybe, on rare occasions, I can pull off miracles. I can’t save the people who don’t want to be saved.
I failed to save Christina from her failure and from herself but…the failure wasn’t my fault. The most you can really do is try, and I promise I did.”
Morgana sighs and shakes her head.
“They say you never forget your first, and I won’t, but life and time goes on.”
On the screen, we see Thalia Starks.
“Thalia, just like her, you’ve been here awhile. What is it that you’ve accomplished? Anything? At all? You too, have been treading water. You’ve REALLY let yourself get lost in the shuffle. I am just what you need right now. This match with the Victory Series berth on the line? This will have been the most mind anyone watching or wrestling in Zion ever paid you before.”
The camera returns to focus on Morgana, midbow.
“My debut was quite the spectacle. Tonight? I get to work more of my magic. My next trick, reviving interest in Thalia Starks’ thus far unremarkable, mundane, mediocre career.
One way or another, I hope this will serve as a wakeup call. I can only hope you make the right choices. If you win, I hope you make use of the momentum, let it push you onward and don’t waste it.
If you lose? I hope you still let that push you forward. Don’t be like the person before you. Do NOT let yourself revert to your old ways, to what you’re used to, what you were before me. If you do? Let’s be honest here. Thalia Starks as you are? No one really cares!
Will YOU let me save you?”
Morgana winks before blowing blue mist into the camera bringing the scene to a close.
Match #1: ARIA vs Hana Kaneko
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Chandler, Arizona…weighing in at 125 lbs…”The Sacred Detective”...ARIA!
And her opponent…representing Avalanche…from Fukuoka, Japan…weighing in at 143 lbs…Hana! Kaneko!
Eddie Red Apples: Well this match was originally supposed to see Jordan Majors get a measure of payback after Hana’s brutal betrayal last Saturday at Invasion: Steel City! But as we learned about 24 hours ago, Majors has not been medically cleared to compete tonight!
Amber Westgate: Haruka Fukuhara’s new group of goons have seem to ensnare another person into their heinous trap! I still can’t believe that Hana turned over to the darkside!
Hana stares at ARIA as if she’s breaking her down mentally with just her eyes. A wicked grin comes across Hana’s face as they circle each other along the ropes. ARIA sprints at Hana and gets stopped in her tracks with a low kick! ARIA stumbles past Hana and into the ropes. Hana grabs her and pulls her off the ropes and into a lariat! ARIA hits the mat and Hana follows with a stomp to the back of the head!
The referee steps in to chastise Hana, but she shoves him aside and picks ARIA up and pushes her into the corner. Hana hits ARIA with a sequence of knees to the gut, followed by stiff uppercuts. Hana hits it three times and hits the knee on a fourth before taking a step back and whipping ARIA to the ropes. Discus forearm! ARIA falls to the mat and Hana stares down over her as the crowd boos. Hana relishes in the crowd reaction.
ARIA starts to get back to her hands and knees and Hana circles her and hits her with little kicks. ARIA shoves Hana away and Kaneko runs right back to her and hits a stiff kick! ARIA rolls over onto her back and writhes in pain as she holds her left side. Hana runs at ARIA for a running shooting star press! Hana stays on her for the pin!
ONE…
TWO…
Hana stops the pin! She quits the pin with a grin on her face and pulls ARIA to her feet. Hana positions ARIA and goes for BLADE STOPPER! The rainmaker misses! ARIA ducks it and runs the ropes. ARIA with a clothesline! Hana absorbs the hit and grasps ARIA by her throat! She rears back and tosses ARIA to the mat by her throat! ARIA kips up quickly and into Hana for a hurricanrana! Hana swings to the mat and ARIA holds her throat as she gets to her feet.
ARIA launches into a desperation superkick and Hana falls to her knees. ARIA scrambles to her feet and runs for a shining wizard! ARIA is feeling it as she stands and lets out a scream. The crowd roars as ARIA approaches the corner. She looks over her shoulder at Hana and hits a springboard moonsault from the second rope! ARIA bounces away from Hana on the move and crawls to the ropes to pull herself up.
Hana stirs on the ground and turns over. ARIA gets out of her line of sight as Hana stands and turns around. ZIRCON CUTTER! No! Hana shoves her away! ARIA hits the ropes and comes back for a shotgun dropkick! Hana catches her in the air! Hana holds ARIA by the legs and takes a step between them before stomping on ARIA’s face over and over until she stops fighting.
Hana paces around the ring to collect herself. She approaches ARIA and pulls her to her feet. Hana puts her on her shoulders for a G2S! She tosses ARIA for her knee, but ARIA hits further away then she expects and lands on her feet! Another superkick! ARIA drops her with a superkick! She follows with a standing moonsault! She stands and runs the ropes for a running shooting star press!
ARIA now picks Hana up and positions her for JUDGING STRIKE! She hits the death valley driver! ARIA holds her in position after the move for the pin!
ONE…
TWO…
Kick out! Hana kicks out on instinct. ARIA has her right where she wants her. Hana struggles her way to her feet and ARIA handsprings into a cutter! ZIRCON INJECTION! ARIA sets up in the corner and signals for J4A! The crowd cheers for the incoming running knee strike! The cheers change to boos and ARIA turns to see Haruka and Code Black walk out onto the stage. They begin to walk down the ramp and ARIA prepares herself.
ARIA gets spun around and Hana hits her with HEADLESS SWORDSMAN! Emerald flowsion! Hana sits on the mat and looks at ARIA. She looks out at the rest of Avalanche and then grins. She stands back up and pulls ARIA to her feet. The crowd boos loudly as she sets her up and hits HEADLESS SWORDSMAN again! Hana smirks as she pins ARIA.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Hana! Kaneko!
Eddie Red Apples: That’s another one in the win column for Hana Kaneko!
Amber Westgate: And against someone who picked her off in her debut! Kaneko must be happy with herself here, but I know for sure ARIA isn’t!
Kaneko celebrates her victory over a prone ARIA as we fade out!
WINNER: HANA KANEKO
RESULT: PINFALL
We're in a dark room with an eerie purplish glow, as Thalia would present herself to the camera, addressing the crowd watching her.
Thalia Starks: "It's been a long time since I've been here. My chambers, my sanctum... Morgana Summers of the land of the Salem trials has chosen to face me..."
Thalia said with a brief pause, as she rolled her neck briefly.
Thalia Starks: "You want to break me like Christina? I welcome the challenge, but, I warn you... Morgana, if you strike me down, I will come back as something stronger than your wildest beliefs... I'm not to be trifled with, Morgana... you can look through your tarot cards and crystal ball all you want. But, nothing is going to prepare you for me..."
She said, with a sudden flash of purple light across the screen, as she was gone.
The scene opens in the palatial backyard outside a large and luxurious villa in Los Angeles, California. Cassie Lopez, one-sixth of The Privileged Elite, is shown lounging on a chaise lounge chair with her shades on, as always looking like a goddess. Only thing she needs now are servants waiting on her hand and foot to complete the theme. But all she needs is her best friend, who’s standing near the chair she’s relaxing on, her gorgeous colossus and a member of The Elite, the imposing Cleopatra Ivy. Cleopatra stands there with her arms crossed in front of her, appearing as menacing as she can naturally be.
Just then, one of Cassie’s suited servants approaches the ladies to present Cassie a Tequila Sunrise on a margarita glass, to which she greatly accepts. She takes a sip from the glass and gives herself a moment to savor the drink before placing the glass on the table next to her.
The camera is capturing the duo in a slightly low angle, more like the cameraman kneeling to capture the ladies in the shot. Nevertheless, the camera still gives them a little towering perspective as they now address the camera.
Cassie Lopez: I know what all of you are thinking. I just don’t seem to care. Not much has been going on in “Top Tier’s” world and I’m getting antsy about it. As much as I love living it up with my luxury family The Elite, my desire to take on the best and winning accolades and championships is a lot bigger. When I commit to something, I never want to have my time wasted. And I don’t intend to start now. That’s why this coming Fusion is going to be the most must-see. And it’s mostly because the brand, and each and every one of you, are going to get what you want: Moi, “Top Tier” Cassie Lopez. To say that I’m excited about it is an understatement. From the day that I laced up the boots to become a wrestler, I was destined for greatness. I have instilled that in myself that I will be the greatest. And with every match I have competed in my career, I test myself against the best to get one step closer to being the best. This is why I was brought in by my best friends, Angel (Kash) & Summer (Page) to form The Privileged Elite. They relates with my vision and knows my potential to get there. And of course, they know how ruthless and badass I am in that ring.
Cassie reaches over to pick up the glass to take another sip of the glass, again savoring the taste before putting the glass on the table and bringing her focus back to the camera.
Cassie Lopez: But of course, you have those haters and naysayers…
It is at this time that Cassie takes off her shades, allowing her eyes to be focused by the camera.
Cassie Lopez: You know exactly who I’m talking about. You just can’t help but knowing that they’re around. Undermining my intentions.
Jealous of me because their lives are pathetic. And I’m not even going to begin talking about the nonsense I hear on social media.
Cassie turns her head in disgust, showing her displeasure over what she just mentioned. Seconds later, she looks back into the camera.
Cassie Lopez: And what I find what’s so fucking funny about this is that they think these things rattle me or makes me feel insecure. Will guess what bitches? People like me are never insecure. It just makes my potential targets a lot clearer for me to see. And how ironic that my path would lead me to you Megumi….
Cassie smiles while giving an obviously mocking golf clap to her intended audience.
Cassie Lopez: …. Whoo-Hoo! Isn’t this special?
Within seconds, Cassie loses the smile, making it clear that she means business.
Cassie Lopez: Oh no, I’m not talking about Nami. And she’s just as annoying. I’m talking about her little sister, Ayu. I really don’t know what people see in her. (Mockingly) “Hey! Look at me! I’m your hero.” “I’m going to do my best to step out of the shadow of my sisters. And winning this match and qualifying in the Victory Series could be just the ticket I need to do so." I can always respect your ambition. And it’s obvious these idiots are eating this up. Her being so damn needy of the fan’s approval and apparently being the apple in management’s eye. And she’s such a shorty, isn’t she Cleo?
She looks at Cleopatra and the ebony giantess gives her a nod and a smirk, with a little snicker for good measure.
Cassie Lopez: I mean we can step on her without even knowing it. But there is one thing that’s big about her and that’s the pedigree of talent that she’s born under. As much as I can’t STAND her sister Nami, I cannot deny the success that she is achieving in Zion Wrestling; more than I can dream of at the moment, and a pretty good number of significant victories on her record to boot. And if you’re even an ounce as passionate as your sister, we’re destined to see history repeat itself…. but on this night, little girl.
Cassie drives her point across by flipping her hair to the side. She then reaches over to pick up the glass to take another sip of the glass, again savoring the taste before putting the glass on the table and bringing her focus back to the camera.
Cassie Lopez: I’m going to give you a dose of reality, Ayu. And that is that you’re not as valued as you think you are…except for maybe being a stain under mine or any one of the Privileged Elite’s members boots. And unlike other people who just gloat their intention, I’m going to make it known on this night by superiorly outworking you in that ring, diminishing any possible misleading info your darling sister may have informed you about me. All while giving you much more to worry about as I embarrass you as a message to everyone that gets in the ring with me. For I have been in the background for far too long. And The Privileged Elite DOES NOT play second fiddle to ANYONE in professional wrestling. Simply put, I will have your number.
Ayu, I don’t know what your deal is when it comes to handling me. And, quite frankly, I don’t seem to care. The bottom line is this: What I want, I get. I want to compete in the Victory Series. And kicking you out of qualifying is what I intend to do. If you think that I’m going to have my moment spoiled by some then you’re more delusional than I give you credit for, Ayu. And if you think that you’re going to volunteer in “shutting up” my mouth, like your sister dreams about every night, then you better worry more about your own mouth being shut…. when I’m stepping on your face while getting my hand raised after I’m done kicking your ass. And Ayu, this is all going to be for you.
The camera then moves closer to Cassie as she continues to speak.
Cassie Lopez: It’s only a matter of time until I’m across the ring from you ….
Just then, Cleopatra leans forward to get in the view of the camera, making a muscle as Cassie continues to speak.
Cassie Lopez: ….and that clock starts now. Just like MY time to shine is now!
Cassie gives a wink to the camera while Cleopatra keeps her intense demeanor intact. Meanwhile, the camera still focuses on the ladies before fading to black.
Match #2: Morgana Summers vs Thalia Starks (Victory Series Qualifier)
Alex Lawson: “Ladies and gentlemen, our first bout is a standard contest. Introducing first, standing at five feet six inches and one hundred twenty-two pounds, hailing from Danvers, Massachusetts... MORGANA SUMMERS!”
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. She slithers and slides into the ring, blowing a kiss toward the camera.
Alex Lawson: “And her opponent, standing at five feet nine inches and one hundred forty-four pounds, hailing from Shreveport, Louisiana... THALIA STARK!”
The lights would rapidly flicker on and off as the opening of Applebite would play, before submerging the field into darkness. As the drums and bass pick up, a spotlight hits the entrance while a blanket of purple fog rolled in, as we see Thalia emerge in the light, she would casually stroll to the ring to the beat of the song whilst lights flicker from the crowd resembling fireflies, as she makes her way into the ring, posing for the crowd as her theme began to fade out as the lights return to normal.
The bell sounds out and both women rush towards each other, but Thalia lowers her shoulder and plows right through the Witch, casting her aside like an errant spell. Morgana slams to the mat. Thalia bends down, scoops Morgana up, and hiptosses her into a corner. The Prettiest Pagan collects her wits as she watches Thalia step back before charging. Stark aims to plant a boot in Morgana’s face but, at the last second, Summers rolls aside. Instead, Thalia grits her teeth as she slams her foot into the post. Morgana sweeps the other leg from under her, knocking the larger fighter onto her back.
The Witch gets to her feet and double-foot stomps Thalia on the throat before hopping off. Morgana then kicks her foot backwards across Thalia’s nose with all her might. The larger woman rolls away and cups her face, checking her hands for blood. She looks up at Morgana who is all too pleased to see even the smallest splatter of red.
Morgana leaps onto Thalia as the latter rises, attempting to pull her backwards for a flip. Instead, Thalia slams Morgana to the mat, lifts her, drops her again, lifts her once more and hurls her towards the ropes. The Pretty Pagan bounds off the cables, back towards Thalia and into a fist, aimed right for her belly. Morgana’s eyes bulge as she drops to her knees, clutching herself. The Vodun Queen glares down at this “Pagan,” judging her honor and skills alike. With that, Thalia delivers a bicycle kick to Morgana’s face, laying her out, and goes for a cover.
One…
T--
The Pagan bridged out. Thalia seems unsurprised as she gets up, pulling Morgana to her feet. The smaller witch grabs Thalia around the waist, lifts her up, and atomic drops her before pushing Thalia away. The Voodoo practitioner clutches her thigh while Morgana delivered a standing dropkick, throwing Thalia onto her back. As she sat up, Morgana leaps at her with a diving clothesline and knocks her back. Immediately, she attempts her own pin.
On--
Thalia palms Morgana’s face and pushes her away. The Pagan momentarily snaps, gouging at Thalia’s face before the official steps in and warns her about such tactics. She turns to warn him about forgetting his place, giving Thalia time to throw a wild kick into the side of her opponent’s head.
Thalia rises and picks her smaller opponent up, delivering a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker before dumping her onto the mat like trash. She knows a pin will likely not work – Morgana’s not broken down enough. She looks around and considers the ringpost.
Thalia lifts Morgana up, putting her on top of the ringpost, and slowly climbs up. She begins to set Morgana up for a superplex, but the Pagan beings to fight back, punching her over and over in the face. Finally, a wild headbutt sends Thalia off the post and scrambling to get up.
Perching on the top of the ring post. Just as Thalia gets to her feet, Morgana leaps, dropkicking the larger woman in the back. Thalia stumbles forward while Morgana rolls to her feet and executes her finisher, the Hexplex, bridging for a pin.
One…
Two…
THREE!
Thalia manages to buck Morgana off but just a hair too late. The Pagan rises, but a fury burns in her eyes.
Alex Lawson: “Your winner, by pinfall – MORGANA SUMMERS!”
Morgana loos over her beaten opponent, a head full of steam still going. When the official goes to raise her arm, she instead turns and backhands him before shoving him to the ropes, grabbing him by the ankles, and flipping him out of the ring. She then turns her attention back to Thalia.
Morgana jumps onto Thalia’s prone form and begins to pound her repeatedly in the face. The violence quickly devolves into eye rakes and gouges, sending Thalia into flails of agony. Morgana traps Thalia’s left arm and begins twisting it. There’s no wrestling move really involved, she’s just obviously trying to dislodge the limb. The screams of pain from Thalia only feed Morganna’s sadism…
Until she receives a kick to the back of the head that dislodges her.
Morgana hurriedly rolls from the ring and looks back. Tanja Devereaux now stands protectively over Thalia, almost daring to try something. The victor glares back, angered at her fun being stopped by an interloper, but she slowly withdraws from the ring, never breaking eye contact until she hits the ramp. When Morgana is out of sight, Tanja leans down to check on Thalia just as EMTs arrive to check her arm.
WINNER: MORGANA SUMMERS
RESULT: PINFALL
Eddie Red Apples: Well folks, what a show it’s been so fa--
Suddenly the opening to “The Gun Show” by In This Moment plays through the PA system and as soon as Maria Brink’s vocals kick in, Kara “Killer” Carbajal saunters out onto the stage with a smirk on her face. Stopping at the top of the ramp, she opens her kutte up to reveal that she’s wearing a black T-shirt with the words ‘#FuckTheGovernment’ on it which receives cheers before she begins to make her way down the ramp.
Amber Westgate: Hold onto that thought, Eddie! Kara Carbajal is here! And I must say that I dig her shirt!
Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she saunters around the ring with swagger before then calling for a microphone and is handed one. Carbajal proceeds to make her way up the steel steps and climbs through the ropes and makes her way to the center of the ring as “The Gun Show” fades out.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So at the Invasion: Steel City event, I did EXACTLY what I said I was gonna do! I completely and utterly OBLITERATED Daria Dorsey inside a steel cage! A FORMER World Heavyweight Champion!
The behemoth turns her attention to the stage and outstretches her free arm.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So… is there anyone in the back who still has doubts about what I am capable of?! Is there anyone in the back who doesn’t believe that I am worthy of being a champion here?!
She pauses for a few moments, expecting someone to come out, but nobody does as she smirks and turns back to the hard camera.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Of course not! Because ever since I stepped foot into this company, I have DOMINATED the competition! I only have a handful of losses to my name as I come up to almost being here for a whole year!
Carbajal shrugs her shoulders.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: Now… as it pertains to this little tournament that’s coming up to crown a new number one contender for the World Heavyweight Champion? I have it on good authority that I am going to have the opportunity to qualify for it.
She turns her attention back to the stage.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: So to whichever poor bastard who ends up against me in the qualifying match? And to whoever has already qualified and who is going to qualify? In short? You’re all fucked!
The Shieldmaiden then tosses the microphone to the mat and “The Gun Show” blasts out of the PA system as she swiftly exits the ring and begins to saunter up the ramp.
Eddie Red Apples: Well damn! Kara Carbajal could very well be the next number one contender to Zachary Porter’s World title, Amber!
Amber Westgate: Well after her impressive victory over Daria Dorsey at Invasion: Steel City, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me, Eddie.
Carbajal then reaches the top of the stage and then disappears to the back as we cut elsewhere.
Match #3: Ayu Megumi vs Cassie Lopez (Victory Series Qualifier)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And is a qualifying match for the Victory Series Tournament…Introducing first… from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 135 lbs… she is "Top Tier" Cassie! Lopez!
And her opponent… from Okinawa, Japan… weighing in at 115 lbs… she is "The Amazing Girl" Ayu! Megumi!
Eddie Red Apples: arrived! Ayu Megumi! After her worst week. Last week she lost to Mai Blackman, losing her chance to become the Zion Viral Champion, but she saved her friend. But today is the day when she must overcome the nightmare she had last week. Today she has to defeat Cassie Lopez! But it's not that easy.
Amber Westgate: Megumi and the Privileged Elite may be each other's inevitable fate. Because whether Nami Megumi or Ayu Megumi will eventually face off against the members of the Privileged Elite, Ayu's sister defeats Cassie Lopez before, we'll have to wait and see if Ayu Megumi will be able to do exactly the same as Nami Megumi. Have you ever made it?
Megumi extended her hands to Lopez. But the Privileged Elite kicks her hands out and whips Megumi to the ropes. Megumi runs to the rope and Lopez connects with a Snapmare Roll sends Megumi down to a seated position. Lopez hits the rope and connects with Big Boot! Boot to the face of Megumi! Send her down to the mat! Lopez yanks Megumi's hair and pulls her up. Lopez yells to Megumi's face and releases her hair and connects with Codebreaker! But Megumi catches her and counters with Powerbomb! Send Lopez down to the mat! Lopez hurries back to her feets Megumi whips Lopez to the ropes but Lopez reverses and whips Megumi to the ropes. Lopez connects with Clotheslines! Megumi ducks under it! And hits the ropes and connects with Dropkick! To the back of Lopez! Send Lopez face hits to the mat! Lopez covers her face in pain! Megumi pulls Lopez back to her feet and whips Lopez to the corner and charges in connects with Helluva Kick! But Lopez ducks under it! Megumi's legs are stuck in the turnbuckle. Lopez rolls her out of the corner and Megumi back to kneeling position. Lopez hits the rope and connects with Basement Dropkick! Send Megumi down to the mat! Lopez pulls Megumi back to her feet and sends Megumi to the corner and charges in and connects with Helluva Kick! Boot to the face of Megumi! Lopez drags Megumi to the middle of the ring and connects with the Exploder Suplex! Send Megumi down to the mat! Lopez covers!
ONE…!
NO! Megumi lifts her shoulder up! Lopez shook her head and mounted on top of Megumi! Lopez rained down her fist to the face of Megumi. Megumi tries to cover her face but Lopez connects with a Headbutt! She knocks Megumi out with a headbutt! Lopez shows her wicked smile and she mocks the fans who support Megumi! Lopez pulls Megumi back to her feets and slaps the face of Megumi! Megumi down to her knees Lopez grabs Megumi face and yells to her face. Lopez hits the ropes and Roundhouse Kick! What a counters from Megumi! Lopez staggers and stands on her wobbly legs. Lopez did not fall to the mat! Megumi hits the rope and connects with Hurricanrana! Send Lopez down to the mat!
