We open up to a sold out crowd in the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with a huge pyro display playing out in front of them! The fans in attendance are raving as we cut over to Winter Mae and Trick Morrison, ready to introduce a new week of Zion action!
Winter Mae: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 38th episode of Mayhem! Trick, are you ready?
Trick Morrison: Eh, I’d feel better if we weren’t in Oklahoma City, Winter. Why did Katrina think this was a good place to take Zion Wrestling?!
Winter Mae: Oh, come on, Trick! I think this is a pretty nice city. These fans are excited for some action!
Trick Morrison: Well, I need something to excite me…
Suddenly, “Radioactive (Cover)” by Within Temptation sounds off from the PA system! The fans rise up, no expectation of this, and they watch Chelsea Pryce make her surprise entrance known.
Trick Morrison: W-h-o-a, Mama! Now THAT’S what I’m talking about!
Winter Mae: Uh… your excitement aside, I wonder what Miss Pryce is doing out here? She’s scheduled to compete tonight, but…
It’s certainly unexpected. The Ice Queen stops on the entrance stage and gauges the fans. They give her a mixture of cheers and boos, and in turn, she smirks. Wearing a sexy black asymmetrical dress with a long slit along the left side, Chelsea doesn’t hide the remnants of battle scars from her battle with Nami Megumi at Clarity. Somehow, they make her even sexier. The male fans are most appreciative with loud wolf whistles. As Chelsea makes her way toward the ring in black stiletto high heels, a close observation will see she’s holding a microphone in her left hand. Once she ascends the steps and enters the ring, she raises the microphone.
Chelsea Pryce: Alright, kids. Your Majesty would like a little quiet time.
It’s a little arrogant, but as a veteran of the sport, she has some right to it. The fans slowly quiet down to listen.
Chelsea Pryce: So… Clarity has shown me something. A little insight, a tough battle, and an inconclusive result. In the end, Nami proved that she can go. I proved that I can still go.
She is less than two months away from turning forty-three. Her ruby lips curl up into a knowing little smile.
Chelsea Pryce: Lo and behold, Nami and Maki did not attack me in Detroit. Yes, I believe Nami’s words. Her actions reinforced them. Well, then… that’s two names off the list of suspects, isn’t it?
Who attacked me in my hometown?
It has to be someone on this roster. Even though I haven’t been in attendance since Clarity, I’ve been watching, keeping an eye on everyone, and studying the tapes… The coward is only making things harder for themselves. They don’t want to confess… so I have to hunt them down. A dangerous game if you ask anyone who knows me.
Trick Morrison: Ohhh, baby--!
Winter Mae: Don’t you start, Trick!
Some of the fans are talking amongst themselves, wondering who it could be. Chelsea turns her body around, the slit of her dress giving way to her legs for days. The wolf whistles only grow louder.
Chelsea Pryce: Come on. I’m already dealing with two bitches. My ex-husband and his ex-wife. Don’t make this worse for yourself. I’m right here, completely unarmed…
Oh, those who know better know the Stiletto Knife is anything but. She actually stands in the ring and waits. Even the fans wait with her.
But nobody came.
Chelsea Pryce: Hmph. That’s a shame.
She shakes her head slowly.
Chelsea Pryce: Well, unless she’s pulled a complete one-eighty, I doubt it’s my opponent tonight. Razzles Mars is a good girl. She’s sweet, honorable… and unfortunately, I have to teach her a lesson from the old school.
There’s always a price to pay…
It’s nothing personal, Mars. You’re facing Mother Nature and she’s in a foul mood. Even in the summer, there’s a blizzard warning coming for you. Good luck. You’ll need it.
Releasing the microphone, static resounds as it hits the mat. “Radioactive (Cover)” by Within Temptation once again plays and the fans are split with cheers and boos. Chelsea makes her exit known with a powerful seductive walk up the ramp.
Winter Mae: Oh, my… What a way to kick things off! Miss Pryce is ready and raring to go!
Trick Morrison: Naturally, Winter! Her Grace is on the hunt and boy, oh boy, she’s a wild courage! ROAR!
Winter Mae: Ugh… please take this somewhere else. I need a minute to recover from rolling my eyes!
As Chelsea makes her way up the ramp, a familiar voice can be heard.
'Y'know..I really don't get it.'
The source of that voice was revealed to be none other than Ricky Rodriguez as he stepped through those black velvet curtains, out onto the stage. The reaction given off by the crowd was noticeably more negative than it had been before. A grin grew out across the features of Ricky as he shook his head.
Joining him, of course, would be the pair of Big Ass Bobby and Alessa Holloway. But joining them would be the incomparable Marisol Vilaro. Ricky turned to look at his three people, that grin only growing as he turned and made his way down the ramp, the trio following closely.
Sliding into the ring, Ricky popped up to his feet as he waited for the crowd to quiet down so he could speak. As he waited, his accomplices got into the ring as well. Bringing that microphone up, Ricky began in on it.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'See..when I signed with Zion Wrestling..I knew Marisol had more than a couple clients here. It didn't bother me none, I'm more than capable of doin things on my own, y'know? I knew, goin into this, that certain clients needed more help. I understood that not everyone can catch onto this whole thing as quickly as I have.
So, I did my own thing while Marisol was stuck with her whole babysittin gig. And everythin was workin well..least on my end. But then..cause of a spoiled..entitled..thinks he's better than he really is..loser stepped outta his place.
Not only did he step outta his place..he showed whattan unreliable piece of shit he really is. He violated the trust Mari had in him. He abandoned her in her time of need. She coulda been seriously damaged by that shit he pulled and he's lucky that she isn't.'
Marisol nodded in agreement, a look of hurt on her face. Shaking his head, he watched as Bobby and Alessa consoled the visibly distraught Marisol Vilaro.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'So, I did exactly what I knew I hadda do. I stopped worryin bout my own shit and I did somethin to help repay Marisol for everythin she's done for me. And it was perfect. That Judas fuck never saw it comin. Coulda ended it right there. Avenged Marisol. Ridded Zion of someone who ain't worth the paper his contract is printed on.
But nooo. As usual in life, you tryta do somethin legit great for everyyyone and it bites you in the fuckin ass. Oliver Peters bit me in the fuckin ass. See, ole Ollie, callin you Ollie cause Oliver is bouta stupid fuckin name..he didn't have no goddamn reason gettin involved like he did. Puttin his hands on me of all fuckin people.
It wasn't your business, Ollie. What we do..has absolutely nothin to do with you. I mean, on some fucked up level..I understand why you did it. I mean, when you get old like you are, you gotta find hobbies or you're just gonna fuckin sit around..fuckin droolin on'emself and developin bedsores.'
Ricky scoffed, giving off a rather nonchalant shrug of his shoulders.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'But this..this ain't it. See, Ima do you a favor. Before that bell rings..I want you to take a looong look at yourself in the mirror. Look past all that holier than thou bullshit you preach and really ask yourself..is he worth it?'
Ricky tilted his head to the side, an inquisitive look growing across his features.
Ricky Rodriguez: 'Is this spoiled ass lilbitch really worth the problems that's comin your way if you keep tryinta bail that waste of a good nut out? Cause..lemme tell you, Ollie, you're gonna have a wholeeeelottabit of problems on your hands cause of this.
So just ask yourself..is he worth it? If he is? Then bring your broken down ass out here and get what's comin to you. If not? Keep your ass back there and let the official count you out.'
That grin Ricky wore took on a bit of a devious look to it as he handed the microphone off to Bobby. Alessa, Bobby, and Marisol made their way out of the ring as Ricky bounced from foot to foot, waiting to see whether or not Oliver Peters would take his advice or not.
Match #1: Oliver Peters vs Ricky Rodriguez (Katrina Lopez Invitational Qualifier)
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: And is a qualifying match for the SummerBash Katrina Lopez Invitational!
Introducing first…from Lancaster, Pennsylvania…weighing in at 201 lbs…Oliver! “Olly”! Peters!
And his opponent, already in the ring…representing Team Vilaro…being accompanied to the ring by Alessa Holloway, Big Ass Bobby, and Marisol Vilaro…from Manhattan, New York…weighing in at 189 lbs…Ricky! Rodriguez!
Winter Mae: Well, we just heard some huge words from Ricky Rodriguez just now, let’s see if he has it in him to back it up against Oliver Peters here right now!
Trick Morrison: Ricky Rodriguez made the right choice by fully embracing the help of Marisol Vilaro! Old Man Peters doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell now!
Just before Oliver reaches the ring, Ricky looks to take initiative with a baseball slide -- but Oliver sidesteps and catches Ricky with strong style rights and lefts! Ricky grits his teeth and blocks some of the shots before he retaliates with quick jabs! Referee Mia Benson tries to argue with them to get in the ring, all the while the fans rally them on. Neither Oliver nor Ricky is willing to back down, but it’s only when Mia threatens to count them both out that they roll into the ring. Now the match can officially begin!
It starts with a competitive back-and-forth. Oliver’s strong style takes on Ricky’s lucha libre style. The vicious shots, the swift counters; it’s as Winter said -- the fans are split evenly between the two. After a time, Oliver finally gains the advantage by catching Ricky in the crossbody attempt and leveling him with a slam. The Lancaster Fighter doesn’t stop there, however, as he pulls Ricky up and plants him onto the mat with “The Deal” (Falcon Arrow)! The first pinfall attempt is made and Mia counts.
One!
Two!
Ricky kicks out!
This match quickly becomes an uphill battle for Rodriguez. Peters is taking control, taking Rodriguez back down with a German suplex that is fluidly transitioned into a snap German suplex. Peters bridges this for the pin attempt, but Rodriguez kicks out again. Peters keep the momentum on his side, taking Rodriguez to the old school. However, there comes a point where Rodriguez turns Peters’ momentum against him, hip tossing him up and over the top rope! Peters hit the padded floor with a thud and the nearby fans check on him. Rodriguez takes a brief moment to catch his breath before he bounces himself off the ropes. The Stylin’ Daredevil goes into the air and lands on Peters with his signature Shooting Star Press! Referee Benson checks on both of them and begins to count, but Rodriguez is soon on his feet. He rolls Peters into the ring and follows after him, going for the cover and the hook of the leg.
One!
Two!
No! Peters kicks out!
Ricky grins, finally taking hold of the advantage. Using the ropes, Ricky takes Oliver onto the mat with a spinning headscissors takedown followed by a quick dropkick. He even plants Oliver with a jump spinning DDT and covers him, but he only receives a two count. With a casual shrug, Ricky looks to continue working on Oliver. As he does this, however, Oliver manages to surprise Ricky out of nowhere with an exploder suplex into one of the corners of the ring. The fans keep cheering for both men as Oliver pulls Ricky up, driving into him with “T.B.I.” [Traumatic Brain Injury] (Shoot Elbows to the Side of Standing Opponent)!
In the midst of the action, Marisol Vilaro makes her appearance to the chagrin of the fans. They boo her as she saunters down the ramp. Right before Oliver locks Ricky into his “Ocean Avenue” (Arm-Trap Sleeper Hold), he narrows his eyes at Marisol. Marisol jumps up onto the ring apron and mouths off at the Veteran of the Old Guard. While the referee tries to control the situation, Oliver turns around -- and the Top Underdog catches him with his signature Spinning Roundhouse Kick! The fans boo loudly in protest as Marisol jumps down from the ring apron. The referee turns around just as Ricky goes for the cover on Oliver and the count begins again.
One!
Two!
Peters still kicks out!
Rodriguez looks to take advantage of the situation, leading into a series of kicks followed by a backflip kick. Peters falls onto the mat, allowing Rodriguez to hit him with a standing moonsault. He’s swift to go for the cover and the referee counts, but Peters kicks out once again! Looking to give her friend and long-time partner another opportunity, Vilaro steps back onto the ring apron. The referee begins to argue with her. Meanwhile, Rodriguez steps out on the opposite side and grabs ahold of the top rope. There are new reactions coming from the fans, mostly cheers for some reason. Peters slowly begins to rise, but just before Rodriguez can go for “To the Top” (Springboard Cutter), Grayson Deville emerges from the crowd and pulls Rodriguez down from the ring apron -- CLOCKING HIM WITH HIS SIGNATURE SAVATE KICK!
Marisol sees this and SCREAMS, but this keeps the referee on her. Grayson picks up and rolls Ricky back into the ring before he disappears back into the supportive crowd. Oliver looks up, the referee turns around, and they’re both not sure exactly what happened. With a shrug, Oliver moves in, seizing Ricky and pulling him up to his feet. He launches Ricky towards the ropes with an Irish whip, and while the kid ducks out of the way of a clothesline, once he bounces off the ropes? The Old Guardsman catches him with “Neurotoxin v1” (Jumping High Knee)! Ricky hits the mat with a THUD and Oliver doesn’t hesitate to cover him.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Oliver! Peters!
Trick Morrison: HAX! I call hax! Grayson’s interference cost Ricky the match!
Winter Mae: Only after Marisol tried to help Ricky win! If you ask me, that’s fair play.
Trick Morrison: Bah! Wait until that old blueblood finds out his new buddy helped HIM win!
Winter Mae: Well, until then, Oliver Peters is victorious!
While “Zombies” by The Cranberries plays from the PA system, Peters rises up and allows Benson to raise his hand. He backs off -- if only to allow Vilaro to move in and pull Rodriguez out of the ring. Her eyes glare in the direction Deville retreated and yells!
WINNER: OLIVER PETERS
RESULT: PINFALL
We see Austin and Sayge out in Bricktown, a portion of downtown Oklahoma City with canals and streets of brick in the entertainment district of the town. We see them at a picnic table with a pair of quarter pound coneys and some route 44 drinks, as they spoke to the camera.
Sayge Gonzalez: "What up, dickheads?! We're over here at the Sonic HQ in Bricktown. We got the faux coneys, not quite as good as the real deal, but they'll do in a pinch."
Austin Saint Croix: "Very much like our opponents tonight. We want the champs, the Dolls, and we're out to show that we're the top team on the roster. But, before them we get the Megumis and the Gemstones... and that's fine. We'll have to take them on at some point anyway."
Sayge Gonzalez: "It don't matter, because this is going to not only be a win for us, but, get them to pay attention for the threat that we are. So, keep ya eyes peeled, we'll put on a show for you."
Sayge said, before toasting their hot dogs and taking a bite as they fade out.
A cloud of smoke rises off the entrance way before the arena's lights go out before the song "Paradiso Inferno" goes off! The entire arena's lights turned purple, after which a devilish laugh sounded. The smoke cleared before Maki and Nami appeared. Maki stood with her arms outstretched as Nami sat on her skateboard. Maki slowly led Nami onto the ring. Maki slid up to the ring before laughing madly. And began to insult the fans in the stadium as Nami took the microphone from the ring official and sent one to her sister.
The crowd rain their boos to the Meguism but they look like they don't care about it. Nami Megumi showed her wicked smile before raised the microphone to talk.
Nami Megumi: Well, well, I understand that hating each other is a pity, I'm your former fan favorite you shouldn't be able to do it to me. I guess I've forgotten who I am, but I'm not here to demand anything. But I'm here to tell all of you stories. Well, I'm not going to ask if you guys are ready to listen. Listen carefully as this is a story from me that I will only tell once. Once upon a time, four heroes walked into the Forbidden Land where they didn't know there was a terrifying devil waiting for them. The terrifying devil and the cursed land welcomed the four heroes. The devils were keeping an eye on the four heroes for what they wanted. The four heroes realized that they would have to fight against each other for their only chance of survival. But when the devil wanted that opportunity too, putting the heroes who had to fight amongst themselves even more in danger, no one knew what would happen to the four heroes when the devil demanded that chance back. The only chance of getting the devils back to where they wanted to be, and the four heroes was the only obstacle blocking the devils, but the devils weren't afraid of the four heroes. But the four heroes were afraid of the devil because the devil was a devil that was hungry and wanted to destroy the four heroes. And the four heroes were the targets of devils without them knowing what they were going to face. It's time for the devil to teach the four heroes a lesson that their playtime is over. And it was time for the devil to let the four heroes know that they would not be able to escape easily from the Forbidden Land. The devils will surely possess all they want.
Maki Megumi: Well, I'll say it without hesitation. I'll be leaving a message for The DataDames and The Gemstones, the opponents I and my sister will face this week. I'll just say that you guys think you guys will step into this match and get a chance easily. It's not that easy, I'm going to show you why The Meguism is your obstacle in this match. I think you guys can't underestimate The Meguism. We're the team that got the chance to win this championship before so don't think we're going to let it go easily. I'll make sure I don't miss this opportunity again. I want to be a champion more than anything. So I won't let them become my obstacles. And I won't let you ruin our chances again. The Meguism is here for The Bisque Dolls. We'll go back to The Bisque Dolls as challengers. And we'll show you why we're a terrible team. We'll show you why we don't deserve to be underestimated. You guys really think you guys can walk into this match to make your fans really happy? I won't let it be like that And I definitely won't let that happen. Nami and I are ready for this match, we have a plan. and what no one expected We definitely have the worst waiting for you. And no matter what, you guys can't blame me, it's a risk to come. And I will do whatever it takes to get what I want, no matter how much people hate us. But we are not here to satisfy anyone's needs. We will do what we will do. And no one can stop us.
Maki Megumi finished speaking she throws the mic away before Maki and Nami Megumi rolled out from the ring and walk to the backstage before scene faded to black.

The Gemstones were contenders for the World Tag Team Championship while they were still at Fusion, this was their chance at Mayhem. Which team will be able to grab the chance to be the #1 Contender for Zion Tag Team Championship after this match.
Trick Morrison: But are we forgetting them? the Violence Artists, the devil sisters, they are untrustworthy and no one knows who their plans are. But the fans seem to dislike them based on how the fans react to them with boos, but they don't care. They smiled and looked like they were getting ready for the match.

We cut to a video in a lavish apartment’s living room. Sitting on the couch is the manager of the Bisque Dolls and head of the Danse Macabre, Charlie Grace.
Charlie Grace: Well, it seems as if we have discovered the next contenders for the Dolls’ Zion Tag Team Titles. Congratulations Gem Stones. Bien fait.
Charlie gives a slight nod.
Charlie Grace: You overcame a decent challenge in the Megumis. But it will not help you when you get your shot at the Dolls. The tactics you used to win your shot will not help you.
Charlie pauses for a moment.
Charlie Grace: But you seem to do as you like. Which is fine by myself and the Dolls. They do like to do as they do as well. It will be quite amusing to watch you during your challenge. The Dolls do enjoy their playmates.
Charlie pauses again.
Charlie Grace: Tough break for the Megumis. I had such high hopes for you. But maybe one day you can climb back up to try and Challenge the Dolls again. Maybe.
Charlie paused yet again. This one was just about to the uncomfortable mark before Charlie resumed.
Charlie Grace: I guess I should address the other team that could, possibly, maybe, have won the match. Though, who am I kidding, I knew they wouldn’t. The Data Dames. The self-proclaimed best team on Mayhem. Told me to watch when they have a match, to see how impressive they are. They were going to show me just how much of a challenge they would be for the Dolls.
Charlie couldn’t hold back a chuckle.
Charlie Grace: You were very impressive out there. You definitely proved a point. The one that I said all along. You don’t matter. All you’ve shown is that you are meaningless. A team that can’t even win when it matters. A team that lost the match. So impressive. I must applaud you.
Charlie gives a slow, mocking round of applause.
Charlie Grace: Keep at it and maybe one day you can get a match with the Dolls. Doubt it would be for any title since you can’t win title shots, but maybe a regular match. It would be the highlight of your careers. To get into the ring with such a decorated tag team. But that is the dream, isn’t it ladies? Keep at it. Train up hard and listen to your trainers. It will do you very good in the future.
Charlie smirks and gives a dismissive wave. As they do, the scene fades.

Crowd: ONE FALL!

And her opponent…from Osaka, Japan…weighing in at 125 lbs…”The Osaka Devil”...Yukiko! Kusanagi!
Baumer doesn’t hesitate off the bell, rushing straight into Kusanagi’s corner and leveling her with a European Uppercut! She rails into her now, firing on her with a set of punches and stomps in the corner until the official steps in to pull her away! She puts her hands up, making her way around the official to get back to Kusanagi! This ends up costing her however, with the Osaka Devil managing a kick to Baumer’s shin as she approaches once again! She quickly follows up, popping up to grab Baumer by the head and push her facefirst into the middle turnbuckle! She falls to a seated position in the corner, with Kusanagi rushes from the opposite corner to hit her with a Sliding Dropkick! She pushes Baumer out of the corner, hitting the ropes as she gets to her feet before hitting a Sliding Lariat! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Baumer! Kusanagi gets her to her feet, looking for a Suplex! But Baumer reverses, throwing a few strikes to Kusanagi’s midsection before taking her down with a Sitout Suplex Slam! She takes to the top rope now, leaping onto Kusanagi with a Diving Leg Drop! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!

Kick out by Kusanagi! She gets Kusanagi to her feet, looking for another move, but she reverses, getting her up before nailing her with a Sit Out Piledriver! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Baumer! Kusanagi looks to end things now, guiding Baumer to her feet using her boot and looking for The Steel Feather! The Reverse Roundhouse Kick misses however, with Baumer ducking underneath it, before pushing Kusanagi towards the ropes and looking for an O’Connor Roll Pin! Kusanagi hooks her arms on the top rope however, sending Baumer to the mat alone! Baumer rolls back to her feet just in time to see Kusanagi rushing after her! She takes advantage, catching Kusanagi with MIRAMIRA!! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Kusanagi! Baumer gets her up to her feet, looking for The Fact Check! But Kusanagi reverses, getting Baumer into a Sleeper Hold instead! Baumer looks to escape, making a slow move over to the corner! She begins to climb the ropes in an attempt to roll Kusanagi up! But just then from out of nowhere, the top turnbuckle snaps out of place, with Baumer and the ropes falling with it! Kusanagi takes advantage of this, pulling Baumer into the Bodyscissors and wrenching in the Sleeper in earnest! Realizing she has no other hope of escape, Baumer taps out!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, via submission…Yukiko! Kusanagi!
Kusanagi has her hand raised, looking confused at the downed Baumer, then to ropes! She quickly exits the ring, leaving a confused Baumer to get up and analyze what just happened! She looks up the ramp to see Katrina Lopez standing there, shaking her head at Baumer before making her exit.
WINNER: YUKIKO KUSANAGI
RESULT: SUBMISSION
