We open up to a sold out crowd in the AO Arena, 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: Coming off of an excellent two weeks in Chicago, our tour of Europe begins right here in Manchester! Welcome everyone…to Monday Night Mayhem! I’m Winter Mae, joined as always by Trick Morrison!
Trick Morrison: These Manchester fans are rowdy, they're ready for a show, and we’re ready to give it to him! We got a main event worthy of the Queen herself, with our brand new Zion Wrestling Champion, taking on countrywoman Diamond Steele! But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here, let’s get started with the rest of the action!
The cameras come into focus and as they do we are taken to the backstage area. It is there where we are able to see the Gem Stones. As soon as Sapphire is shown the crowd actually goes nuts as we can hear loud chants of Sapphire over and over again. She cracks a wicked grin as she looks into the camera before turning her attention to her sister Ruby.
Ruby: Bloody fucking hell… They actually love you Phoebe…
Sapphire smiles as she takes it all in grinning as she speaks some more.
Sapphire: You want to know why they love me because tonight we are in my home town of Manchester, and normally I know the fans would boo us. They would hate us but I am actually feeling something special tonight, and there is no doubt in my mind that the Gem Stones are going to shine bright. We are going to be the brightest thing in this company and nobody will be able to tell us differently. Mayhem for this next month or so will be OUR month and we will get to where we need to go.
The crowd cheers louder as the Gem chants are even louder.
Ruby: Damn right and not only does that journey start right here Manchester but I have a feeling that everything that we have worked so hard for will culminate at Invasion when Diamond and I return home to London.
The crowd keeps on chanting as Diamond appears and she hugs her cousin before she looks at Sapphire. The crowd seems mixed as they roar into Diamond and Diamond sucks chants.
Diamond: I know… I probably deserve that considering what I did to Razzles. I will admit it would cause anybody from England to boo me but it was a case of me telling the world that I am back! England I know you missed me and Razzles should have seen it coming. Our careers will be forever interlocked and it is the feud that will never end. However as much as I would love to sit here and talk about a fellow countrywoman let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Katrina Lopez… Do you really think I trust you after you were the cause for me to be put on the shelf on the first place?!
Ruby: No… That would be OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Diamond: Exactly. Giving a chance to fight for the Zion Wrestling Championship is a great start and I definitely won’t let any of these English fans down tonight, but it will take a lot more than that to forgive. You don’t know what it is like to be out of action. To now be in that ring doing the very thing that I love more than anything else. It just doesn’t sit well with me. Tonight I will win the Championship and it will be the reign of the Gem Stones!
Sapphire smirks.
Sapphire: Tonight we have to fight Las Olivadades and that’s crazy since these are basically my cousins on the other side of the ring. I am married to Paloma Carbajal so being in the ring with this time is definitely going to be tough but we are ready for it.
Ruby grins.
Ruby: Manchester brace yourselves… Because this territory happens to be Gem Stone country. Sorry to the in laws but we need this and we won’t disappoint… See you soon. Cheers.
The scene opens with a list of names posted on the wall. Familiar names that occupy the Zion roster. No one knows the reason why this list is being shown. But a few seconds later, as a familiar voice breaks into the silence, the purpose becomes quite clear.
“What did we tell you? WHAT DID WE SAY WE WERE GOING TO DO?!”
The camera pulls back to reveal the owner of that said voice; Valentina Skye, one fourth of the group Trinity and one third of the reigning Zion Trios Champions. She is joined by her fellow sisters (and champions) Brooke Cartwright, Aubrianna Powers, dressed in their wrestling gear, and their trademark t-shirts and Delilah Hill, who’s dressed in a black dress, as they stand in front of the camera with elegance and dominance.
The girls smirk as Valentina is still speaking.
Valentina Skye: Nine days ago, we strode into Fallout II, went into this match with a silly stipulation towards us, and looked at what happened? We put a stop to someone becoming DOUBLE CHAMPION and made a tag team more irrelevant than they already are! And the icing on the cake is…we still have these baby!
In unison, Valentina, Brooke, and Aubrianna raise their Trios Championship belts for the camera to capture them; with each one of them, and Delilah, carrying arrogant smugs on their faces.
Valentina Skye: Three “empowering” women whom EVERYONE had high hopes of taking us down, and we instantly called them out on their insignificance…you’re welcome!
Valentina gives a little laugh to compliment her statement. Before long Aubrianna begins to speak.
Aubrianna Powers: The Hive thought that they could beat us? But you know what lives in a hive? Bugs. Insects. And that’s what they were to us…simply put, insignificant insects. And we crushed them under our feet like the bugs that they are. And now that we have put an end to The Hive and more than put them behind us, we turn our attention to three more undeserving pretenders. The Holy Angel Empire.
Powers rolls her eyes while the other ladies nod their heads in disappointment.
Aubrianna: The only angels that matter in ZION are us, Trinity! And when you speak about empires, the conversation begins and ends with Trinity. Because we are the end all be all of empires. We are the only empire that matters. Just look at us…and then look at these….
Along with Aubrianna, Brooke & Valentina acknowledge their belts on their shoulders with Delilah smiling, driving their sister’s point across.
Aubrianna Powers: This is all the evidence you will ever need.
Deliah Hill: With almost a year of Trinity coming up, the REAL angels of this place should be us!
The girls smile in agreement
Deliah Hill: It’s funny how these ladies THINK that they can be a godsend from above! It’s funny that these ladies think that Trinity is going to crumble to them! What they should be doing is praying to GOD we don’t destroy them!
The ladies nod in acknowledgement of Delilah’s comment. After placing some hair behind her ear, Brooke begins to speak.
Brooke Cartwright: There are a lot of you that still don’t get how big of an influence Trinity has here in Zion. We’re through telling you moronic mouthbreathers about it. We’re having too much fun showing you by crushing your heroes and their dreams. You are looking at four “complete packages” of women that one has ever laid eyes on; natural born goddesses who can go in the ring and steal ANY show that we’re in. There is a reason why we are referred to as GIANTS Among Ants.
Holy Angel Empire, you may believe this is a golden opportunity for you to shower yourselves in the glory of being Trios Champions, and I will not argue with you there, this is. But here’s the reality, this is going to be nothing more than the catalyst of misery loves company. Only the company you're going to be facing will be an absolute nightmare for you. These Trios titles are under the rule of QUEENS! And there's no limit as to how far we will go to destroy ANY hope for you in taking these titles. Maybe you three should set your priorities to a higher regard and gamble on whether you leave that ring tonight in one piece and your pride intact because the hurt we're going to give you is going to be more real than you can EVER imagine. And maybe, JUST maybe, when we are done with you all, pending if we allow you to have any strength left in you, you might be able to use your miniscule brains to will yourselves to crawl on your bellies to lay kisses on our boots; begging us for the mercy that we’re obviously NOT going to give you. For that very moment, you three will come to terms with the ULTIMATE consequence for your idiotically challenging us for these Trios titles! Don’t call it a prediction. Do not call it a spoiler. Do not even call it a revelation. This is pure, unadulterated fact, courtesy of these most dominant faction in ALL of Zion Wrestling and YOUR superiors….Trinity.
Then, in unison, the ladies point their fingers down with confident stares as the ladies speak out in unison.
Trinity: Bend The Knee!
The ladies continue to look at the camera with their fingers still down as the camera fades to black.

WINNER: TRINITY (CHAMPIONSHIP RETAINED)
RESULT: PINFALL
The cameras start up backstage where we can see “The Resident Asshole of Zion”, Kasey Kash, sat on a production crate looking down at his phone, when he hears the footsteps coming towards him, he puts his phone down to his side, drops the hood of his sweatshirt, and looks towards the floor… beginning to speak.
Kasey Kash: ”...You know. I should be in a better mood… no really, I should. Being booked on Zion again should be a good thing… but you know why I’m still in a constant state of fucking annoyed? Well that’s for one reason and one reason only. Because I still ain’t treated like the big fucking deal I am around these parts.”
Kasey chuckles to himself, hopping down off the production crate and runs his fingers through his hair.
Kasey Kash: ”As the last of the old guard here in the Zion Locker room, I’ve seen it all. I was here through the dark days, I have stuck by this company through some, quite frankly, TERRIBLE booking calls. I sided with them in the NFW and Zion war, and what do I get? Do I get a title shot? Nah. Do I get booked on a week to week basis? Nah. Matter of fact, I get passed over for the next ‘hot new thing’ like the person booking this fucking show just gets a new action figure in the mail, and quite fucking frankly, I am SICK, and fucking TIRED of the constant stream of disrespect I’m getting here. Tonight… tonight I go out there, and prove to everyone in the back, that Kasey Kash in Zion is a whole different beast, one that should be getting the fucking respect he deserves… because if he doesn’t? Fuck… you might end up losing The Last of the Old Guard to greener pastures.”
And with that, Kasey walks out of frame, pushing the cameraman and sound guy as he walks past them, and the scene fades.
The scene opens to the leader of the Heroes for Hire, Your Hero and Mine; Mark Storm, standing alone in front of a Mayhem logo'd backdrop, his hands clasped together and a look of frustration cemented on his face. He's holding his JROK Trios championship, whilst also having his UPRISING Unity title buckled around his waist.
Mark Storm: Everything, happens for a reason.
He exhales, calming himself.
Mark Storm: I know that, at this moment, our enemies are sitting pretty on their high horses, probably thinking they've got away with the heist of the century at Fallout 2. I can imagine it, The Violence Corporation - breaking bread whilst thinking to themselves that they've gotten rid of the Heroes for Hire... but little do they know, they've only awoken a fire inside of us that's gonna keep on burning, keep on raging until we get what we desire and that's revenge... in one way or another, it's redemption...
He pauses, recollecting his thoughts.
Mark Storm: Right now, all I know is that we are very pissed off and something has to change, something has to give.
Storm pauses once more, his eyes intensifying.
Mark Storm: We're not in action tonight but the Heroes for Hire, will be back. Whether that's next week, the week after, and so on, we'll be back in full force, and we'll be coming for you, ladies... for each and every single one of you, and when we do, there won't be no escaping the inevitable... we're gonna set things right and that starts with taking those titles of yours, after you robbed us of ours... it's only fitting, right?
As Storm comes to a halt, out of nowhere; his teammates join him side by side, as he daps them each up. Manager and agent, Gregory Murphy has his signature slimy grin over his face as he clasps his hands together in excitement.
Richardson and Watson are both holding their SKYFIRE Tag Team Championship and UPRISING Unity titles on each shoulder whilst having their NFW World Trios titles around their waists. Takashi Shinobu wears his newly won Next Generation Wrestling Heavyweight title proudly on one shoulder, with his UPRISING Unity title on the other - whilst having his NFW World Trios title buckled around his waist. Destino is title-less, the only one - though is wearing his mask as he lingers in the background.
Liam Richardson: It only makes sense, if you ask me.
Miles Watson: You're damn right, this is far from over...
Liam Richardson: And as the world ponders on whether we can make our way back to the mountaintop, we're steadying the ship, plotting our plans and making sure that the days of us getting screwed over, is truly behind us.
Miles Watson: And on that note; Strike 2 Kill are officially setting their eyes on the current Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions, The Meguism... but let's be honest, ya'll knew that this was coming, it was inevitable. What ya'll did, together with The Violence Corporation, is unforgiveable and I know there's no remorse or regret on your side, ya'll are proud of what you did... costing us our Trio's titles... and because of that, ya'll already signed your deathwish... we're coming for it all. We'll get our Trios titles back one day, don't you worry about that... but for now, The Meguism, ya'll have our full attentions...
From the background, Destino makes his way to the front.
El Capo Destino: Destiny awaits and we will prevail... I've seen it all, I know how this ends...
He stops, looking around as if he senses a presence or has had an epiphany.
El Capo Destino: I've seen it all already... and the Violence Corporation, they will suffer... that's their destiny.
Takashi Shinobu: These losses, they won't end up defining us... yes, they are defining moments in our careers but it is now about how we bounce back and react. Can we bounce back and react? We're still here, aren't we? Raging combat and wanting to fight on all fronts, because we have to! You've forced this on us but I'm not sour over it... no, I want to thank you, instead. Thank you for showing us your true colours. We know what we're dealing with but just know that we're not stopping until the score is settled and your reign of terror is done for... we're not settled into our debts are repaid!
Stepping into the forefront of the frame is Gregory Murphy.
Gregory Murphy: And those debts will be repaid... those titles, will be reclaimed... the Heroes for Hire will progress and come back from this because we are the greatest faction in the industry. I'm talking facts, ladies and gentlemen, and we're not going anywhere, not without a fight! Zion Wrestling has quickly become our home, and we've become a staple here on Mayhem. We're not gonna stand aside and watch these maniacs cause havoc without doing a thing about it - that's what the Heroes for Hire are all about!
Mark Storm: And you'll find out about that, soon enough...
Storm allows his signature sinister smirk to plaster onto his lips as the scene gradually fades.
MATCH #2: KASEY KASH VS ALICIA CASSIDY
Silence… nothing… the lights in the arena dim as we hear… nothing. This goes for about twenty five seconds, that is until we hear an electric guitar riff being played in the background, the volume slowly but surely increasing for about another twenty five seconds, that is until we hear the vocals screamed through the speakers.
FEAR ME
I AM DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENCE
I AM THE VIOLENCE EMBEDDED IN FLESH
I AM THE PAIN IN THE BONES OF THE MORTAL SHELL
THE DARK HEART OF THE EARTH
I AM HELL!
I AM HELL!
At this point, Kasey Kash has made his way through the curtain, he stands and looks out, listening to the loudest set of boo’s he has ever heard in his life, and as he stands there, as the song continues to play in the background, he smirks, before flipping the crowd a defiant double bird. He stands there and basks in the hatred, accepting it.
FEAR ME
I AM DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENCE
I AM THE VIOLENCE EMBEDDED IN FLESH
I AM THE PAIN IN THE BONES OF THE MORTAL SHELL
THE DARK HEART OF THE EARTH
I AM HELL!
Vivian Blake “Ladies and gentlemen, our next bout is a standard contest. Introducing first, standing at five feet ten inches and one hundred sixty-five pounds, hailing from Canberra, Australia... KASEY KASH!”
Kasey is joined at the top of the stage by JahJah and his fiance, Erika Crawford, before they look back down at the ring and continue their path down the ramp, with Kasey savoring every second of it. Walking past a fan, taking full advantage of the fact they can’t touch him by shoving that fan in the face as hard as he can, sending him back onto the floor. Kasey continues on his way as the fan tries to go for him before he is held back by security.
YOU WILL KNOW PAIN
YOU WILL SEE THE TRUE FACE OF PANIC
DEVASTATION NOW AND FOREVER
REIGN OF DARKNESS
Kasey makes his way up the steps and looks out over the crowd, flipping them the middle finger before he gets into the ring, hopping over the top rope and standing in the center of the ring, arms spread wide as he soaks in the reaction he’s getting.
You will know pain
YOU WILL SEE THE TRUE FACE OF PANIC
DEVASTATION
NOW AND FOREVER
REIGN OF DARKNESS
Kasey lowers his arms, looking out over the crowd again, before setting his sight directly on the entrance ramp.
FEAR ME
I AM DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENCE
I AM THE VIOLENCE EMBEDDED IN FLESH
I AM THE PAIN IN THE BONES OF THE MORTAL SHELL
THE DARK HEART OF THE EARTH
And on the final beat of the song, he sits cross legged facing the stage, not breaking his stare.
I AM HELL!

I AM HELL!
And the lights in the arena return to normal as Kasey is sat there, awaiting his opponent.
Vivian Blake: “And his opponent, standing at five feet five inches and one hundred twenty pounds, hailing from Miami, Florida... ALICIA CASSIDY!”
The arena begins to flood with a thick, opaque fog. Alicia Cassidy emerges from the fog, a wide smile on her face as she tries to play to the crowd. She shrugs as she forward rolls down the ramp, landing on her knees and throwing her arms up in the air as she springs to the apron, pulling herself up and onto the ropes, before springing into the center of the ring. She enters a sitting position, posing for a camera as it comes up close and pressing her fist under her chin with a vacant smile before drawing raising her arms to the fans.
The referee looks to Kash’s entourage and shakes his head no, pointing to the back. It’s too many people ringside and he doesn’t trust it. Protests begin but Kasey turns to his friends and assures them it’ll be okay. Slowly, they leave the arena as Cassidy and Kash stare each other down.
The bell sounds and both charge. Kash attempts a short forearm across Cassidy’s throat but the ducks. As Kasey turns, Alicia launches backwards in a Pele kick. Kasey catches the encroaching leg and throws it to the side and spilling Alicia to the mat. He promptly stomps on the side of her head repeatedly. After the fourth kick, Alicia rolls away and pushes up to hands and knees. Kasey rushes at her, jumping and bringing his knees down. She manages to roll away, letting Kasey drive both kneecaps into the mat. This is followed by a string of obscenities from the self-described misanthrope, calling Alicia something that rhymes with, “Clucking witch!” Alicia responds with a lariat across Kash’s throat.
Alicia ignores the temptation to go for a pin. There’s no way it’ll work, too soon. She pulls Kasey up, slapping him into a side headlock. She twists like she’s hoping to make his head pop like a cork. Finally, Kasey lifts her up and drops Alicia’s tailbone across an outstretched knee before shoving her forward. Somehow, Alicia stops herself from falling over, instead turning. However, she turns straight into a knee to the gut followed by a hard right cross. Before she can fall backwards, Kash pulls Alicia close and delivers a snap suplex. He immediately goes for a pin, but the referee doesn’t even drop to count before a palm strike rams into Kasey’s throat and shoves him away.
Kasey feels a head of steam building as the woman just won’t stay down. He gets to his feet before Alicia and spins her around. Crossing her arms across her chest, Kash gives her a lungblower and sends her a few feet forward. Surely this will put a stop to her. But as he gets up, he sees Alicia already getting up. He immediately crouches, waiting for her to stand so he can crossbody her into the corner.
Kasey barrels at Alicia, who lays him low with a drop toehold. On the way down, Kasey slams his face into a turnbuckle and seems out of it. Alicia releases the toehold and runs up the buckles before dropping onto her opponent with a split-legged corkscrew moonsault. She rolls backwards, briefly admiring her work. She grabs Kash by the right arm and leg and begins to drag him to the center of the ring. It’s as good a time to end this match as any.
Alicia drops onto Casey and pulls his leg up for a pin.
One--
To Alicia’s horror, Kasey manages to roll them both so he’s on top.
One…
Tw--
Cassidy manages to pull away from Kash, jumping up. Kasey gets up as well and the two begin to slowly pace, sizing each other up. Cassidy lunges forward for a lockup but Kash instead intercepts her and tosses her over in a suplex. Alicia lands on her butt, winching, only to receive a kick to the back. Kasey grabs her by the hair and slams her back to the mat before throat-stomping her until the referee starts admonishing him for hair pulling. Kasey gives the official an, “Are you serious?” glare, only to allow Alicia to roll away to the ropes. Realizing what he did, Kasey runs to Alicia as she pulls herself up.
Alicia kicks Kasey in the gut, doubling him over. Whipping herself to the ropes, she comes back at him with a running DDT, driving him to the mat. He splays out as she rolls him onto his back and goes for a pin.
One…
Two…
THRE--
A fraction of a second short of losing the match, Kasey throws a shoulder up. Alicia stares down in disbelief. She was so damn close. But close doesn’t matter. She gets up and begins to pull Kasey with her. He answers with a punch to the midsection, folding her forward. Lifting her onto his shoulders, Kash lifts Cassidy up and drops her back to the mat in a Samoan Driver. To Alicia’s credit, she immediately pulls away and stumbles up, not wanting to give Kasey a chance for a pin follow up. Instead, she takes a Yakuza kick to the face, which sends her in a spiral.
Alicia wobbles on her feet, barely aware of where she is anymore. Kasey runs from her, bounding off the ropes and aiming at the dazed Floridan. He leaps and grabs onto her neck as he flips over in his finisher, No Pressure. Alicia slams onto the mat and Kasey covers for a pin.
One…
Two…
THREE!
Vivian Blake “Your winner by pinfall, KASEY KASH!”
The ref goes to raise Kasey’s hand but he yanks it away, instead shoving his middle finger in Alicia’s face as she slowly comes to. Pushing the official aside, Kasey leaps over the top rope and drops to the floor, strutting up the aisle past the jeers of the fans.
Alicia slowly rises, obviously disappointed by the outcome of the match. The referee comes over to check on her and she assures him she’s fine. She rolls under the bottom rope and heads up the aisle. All the while, Zion’s fans cheer her on. The adoration lifts her spirits slightly, letting her walk more proudly to the back. No point in sweating this loss. It’s time to plan for the next win.
WINNER: KASEY KASH
RESULT: PINFALL
The camera starts in the interview area, where we can see Tommy Green in the center of the frame, beginning to speak.
Tommy Green: ”Ladies and Gentlemen, Tommy Green here backstage with the one and only, Olly Peters.”
As he says Olly’s name, he walks into frame rocking a “United Elite” shirt, big smile on his face that changes as he looks Tommy up and down.
Oliver Peters: ”Well. Certainly not who I was expecting for this interview. So make this good, Tom.”
Tommy clears his throat, before continuing the conversation.
Tommy Green: ”Umm, well, Olly. Tonight in our semi main event we’re going to see you in a huge matchup against Reo Ojima for the number one contendership to Thea Erzili and her, seemingly unstoppable, National Championship reign. How do you fancy your chances here tonight?”
Olly chuckles at the question, scratching his chin, before answering.
Oliver Peters: ”Well, I’m not gonna sugar coat it here… this is probably my biggest challenge I’ve ever faced since making my return to wrestling. Reo is no joke, seeing what he did in OATH, and how dominant his reign as World Champion was… I know that I’ll have to work my ass off to even make a dent in the offense, because he’s one tough son of a bitch. He already told me we’re both probably gonna need new mouthguards, and shit… I absolutely know I’m gonna need one. But I also know this, I know that I am a tough son of a bitch… I know that I still have more fight in me than I had before I retired… I know that this run here in Zion MIGHT be my last in professional wrestling… so I know I’m going to work hard… harder than I ever have before. Harder than the new generation of wrestling talent coming in to make sure that I can still show that I have that fight left in me…”
Olly stops himself for a moment, rubbing the back of his head as he tries to think of the words to say next.
Oliver Peters: ”I-... I know this much is for true… Zion Wrestling is my home. This company means just… so much to me, and before I lay my boots in the center of the ring, I want to have the honor and privilege to be a champion for this great company, so Reo! As much as I respect the fuck outta you, tonight is the night that Olly Fucking Peters gets his shot… gets his opportunity to challenge for this belt. No hard feelings, and we’re absolutely still on for drinks afterwards… but out there is all business.”
Olly chuckles, patting Tommy on the back, before walking out of frame, and the camera pans to Tommy,who just shrugs as the camera fades.
We cut backstage to a close up of the vacant, wide-eyed glare of Samuel Lopez staring into the camera. It slowly pans out to reveal he is standing in front of a Mayhem backdrop and as the camera continues panning out, we soon see Dr. Castiel Talbot standing beside Lopez with a smile on his face.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. For those who may have missed Zion’s FallOut II event, my name is Dr. Castiel Talbot and the man standing beside me is Samuel Lopez.
Talbot glances over to Lopez, his expression having not changed since the camera started rolling. The elderly man then turns his attention back to the camera now.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Now it would appear that tonight, Samuel shall be having his in-ring wrestling debut against Sofia Hilton. Now, my dear Ms. Hilton… it would appear that you have quite the familial experience when it comes to this industry. Both the Hilton and Carbajal names are quite synonymous within the world of professional wrestling.
Talbot nods, seemingly impressed by Hilton’s wrestling pedigree.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Now, while I am impressed by your wrestling pedigree…
Talbot points to Lopez.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Samuel is not. And don’t take this the wrong way, Ms Hilton. It’s not that he is going to take you lightly or underestimate you. No. It’s simply because he treats everyone equally. It doesn't matter to him what your past is. Or what your accomplishments are. He is simply going to go out there and show you along with the rest of the Mayhem roster and the fans what he is capable of.
Grasping the end of his walking cane he smirks.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: I truly wish you luck tonight, Ms. Hilton… because while I am not well versed in the way this industry works, I am merely but a psychiatrist after all, I am aware that being successful in one's debut is a big thing. So Samuel here will be doing whatever it takes to walk away from tonight’s encounter between the two of you with his arm raised in victory.
Talbot is about to walk off but then stops in his tracks before turning to the camera again.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Oh and as for you, Mr. Matthews. It would appear you chose the foolish route of further antagonizing Samuel here. One would expect you to make an appearance during Samuel’s match this evening. I for one would say that that would be a very unwise decision to make, young man.
Talbot then chuckles before then walking away off camera as Lopez follows him, his expression remaining the same, not even blinking once as he disappears off camera as we cut elsewhere.

Winter Mae: I’ve gotta admit, I’m really not liking Sofia Hilton’s chances tonight…not against someone as…strange…as Samuel Lopez!
Trick Morrison: Seeing the way he moves does not get easier upon repeat viewings, but if someone’s gonna be brave enough to take him on first, I gotta bet on La Coneja!
Winter Mae: Trick, I think “stubborn” is the word you’re actually looking for…
Trick Morrison: Fair enough.
Hilton begins to trash talk from the other side of the ring, with Lopez just standing in his corner, expressionless. The two eventually make their way to the center of the ring, with Hilton’s mudslinging only getting progressively more vitriolic as she goes on. Frustration begins to build as Hilton realizes her barbs aren’t getting Lopez. She eventually gets physical, pushing Lopez’s face back with the hand! The physical contact that’s more aggressive as Lopez remains expressionless, with Hilton now progressing to a mighty slap across Lopez’s face! The slap gets huge reaction from the crowd, with the camera panning over to Dr. Talbot just facepalming at the transgression, Hilton just made!
Lopez catches a second slap from Hilton, before pulling her in for a Short-Arm Clothesline! Hilton gets to her feet, right into a second Clothesline from Lopez! She gets up once more, rushing over and catching a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker from Lopez! He goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Hilton! Lopez drags her up to her feet, looking for another move! But Hilton is having none of it, swatting his hands away before laying into him with a set of Forearms to the side of the head! She begins to move, rushing over and hitting the ropes before returning to Lopez! He seems ready for her, but she catches him by surprise by sliding between his legs and popping up behind him! She jumps up, hitting Lopez with a Dropkick to the back that sends him falling into the ropes! Hilton sees an opening, hitting the ropes before coming back to Lopez for a Tiger Feint Kick! Lopez is staggering inside the ring now, with Lopez launching herself back inside for a Springboard Hurricanrana! Lopez staggers back to his feet, looking for a blind Clothesline on Hilton! But she ducks underneath, nailing him instead with a Pele Kick! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Lopez! Hilton looks to finish this one, dragging Lopez to the corner and looking for a Tornado DDT! Lopez pushes her off however, with Hilton landing on her feet as he rushes in for a strike! Hilton rushes underneath it, hitting the ropes at the same time as Lopez before coming back to a SILENT NIGHT!! CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL CONNECTS!! Lopez isn’t finished however, getting Hilton up before locking her into ENJOY THE SILENCE!! ANACONDA VICE IS IN!! Hilton doesn’t hesitate, tapping out quickly to the move!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, via submission…Samuel! Lopez!
Winter Mae: Definitely a dominant debut win by Mayhem’s newest acquisition! What do you make of his skill in the ring, Trick?
Trick Morrison: He’s definitely got the presence of a star, Winter! I wouldn’t be surprised if–Wait…What the hell is Chris Matthews doing here?!
Lopez and Talbot stand in the middle of the ring, as the ladder begins to applaud the victory that occurred within the ring. However, the party is soon to be crashed, with Chris Matthews sneaking into the ring behind Lopez armed with a Kendo Stick! He looks for the swing, but Lopez snaps his head around, immediately causing Matthews to double back in fear! He looks deep into the expressionless eyes of Lopez, before deciding it isn’t worth it and hightailing it out of the ring and up the ramp!
WINNER: SAMUEL LOPEZ
RESULT: SUBMISSION
