We open up to a sold out crowd in Copper Box 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: With Invasion: London happening this Saturday, it’s time to see what else the red brand can bring to the table! Welcome to Monday Night Mayhem! I’m Winter Mae, joined as always by Trick Morrison!
Trick Morrison: We got the best kind of show for you: Short but sweet. A couple of certified bangers and Hardcore Tournament match is on tap for tonight!
MATCH #1: JAYREMY VS ALICIA CASSIDY
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…from Miami, Florida…weighing in at 120 lbs…Alicia! Cassidy!
And her opponent…from Vancouver, British Columbia…weighing in at 233 lbs…JAY! REMY!
In the opening match of the night, JayRemy and Alicia Cassidy circled each other for a second before Alicia charged at JayRemy, looking to hit him with a quick dropkick. She nailed the larger man in the abdomen, sending him stumbling back but not losing his footing completely. He kind of bounced off of the ropes a touch and came back at Cassidy, nailing her with a beautiful clothesline that knocked her to the mat. As she started getting back to her feet, he grabbed her and whipped her into the corner, making her slam into it back first. He ran towards her, looking to hit her with a vicious clothesline, but Alicia acted quickly and threw a wild kick out, hitting JayRemy in the abdomen as he came towards her. Seeing him doubled over from the sudden impact, she quickly hoppws onto the 2nd rope, looking to hit a jumping DDT on the man. Though it seemed like JayRemy was going to attempt a counter, Alicia was able spike the man’s head down onto the mat with a beautiful DDT. She got back to her feet quickly and looked around for a moment before she backed up, calling for JayRemy to get up.
Crowd: CASS-IDY!! JAY-REMY!! CASS-IDY!! JAY-REMY!!
The crowd was split on who to cheer for, and it wasn’t long before JayRemy was back to his feet. He turned towards Alicia who immediately moved to nail him with a hard superkick, but he caught her leg and brought his elbow down on her knee. The woman cried out, grabbing her knee in the process. He quickly grabbed her and nailed her with a hard Twist of Fate, slamming her into the mat hard. JayRemy had a grin on his face as he got back to his feet. He got her up, going for a delayed suplex, but she quickly brought her knee down against his head a couple of times, causing him to put her down and release her entirely. She charged at him and caught him with a hard lariat, but it wasn’t enough to keep him down. He was back to his feet after a few moments and wasted little time in grabbing her as she came back towards him, nailing her with a spinning powerbomb. Getting ahold of her again, he set up for the Miraculous Encore and spiked the woman down, hitting her with a gorgeous Rite of Passage. JayRemy quickly pinned Alicia, and the ref slid down to the mat for the pinfall count.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: Here is your winner by pinfall…JAYREMY!!
JAYREMY celebrates his win, and the added momentum going into the Gateway Championship ladder match, as we fade out!
WINNER: JAYREMY
RESULT: PINFALL
MATCH #2: REINA MENDOZA VS THE BALL & HOT SAWSE (3-ON-1 HANDICAP MATCH)
The Ball is the first to step up for the slaughter, immediately being taken down by a Big Boot from Reina Mendoza! Hot Sawse decide to work in tandem next, rushing towards Mendoza for a Double Clothesline! They miss the shot however, with Mendoza rushing underneath before hitting the ropes and nailing them both with a Double Spear! Mendoza starts to laugh, seemingly having fun with the destruction she’s causing! She spots The Ball attempting to get up, quickly snuffing him out with a Stiff Right Hook to the midsection before throwing him into the corner! She looks to whittle him down with some Mudhole Stomps, but just then Mikey II Spicey and The Sweatmaker decide to make their presence known once again, laying into Mendoza with some vicious punches and kicks in a desperate attempt to make the save! None of this works on Mendoza, who grabs them both by the throat in preparation for a Double Chokeslam! The Sweatmaker manages to escape, but Mikey II Spicey takes the slam straight down to the mat before being thrown into the corner with The Ball! The Sweatmaker tries to get the jump on her, looking for a swing, but Mendoza rushes underneath it and hits him with the CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!!
She throws The Sweatmaker into the corner with The Ball and Mikey II Spicey, getting them all up on her shoulders in a fantastic feat of strength! She sets it up before driving all three of them to the mat at once with the CRASH & BURN!! TRIPLE FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER!! Mendoza stacks them all up for the pin, looking towards the hard cam in the process!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Reina! Mendoza!
Winter Mae: Wow…I-just…wow…
Trick Morrison: Reina Mendoza just laid waste to three men at the same time, in what certainly had to be a statement to the woman she confronted last week, ISIS!
Winter Mae: That statement from Reina Mendoza very clearly being “Anything you can do, I can do better.” And Trick she might just be right. The Tejana Giantess might just be the biggest threat to ISIS’ undefeated run here in Zion.
Mendoza stands over the corpses of her opponents as we fade out!
WINNER: REINA MENDOZA
RESULT: PINFALL
MATCH #3: KASEY KASH VS ROWENA BYRNE (HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINALS MATCH)
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is a semi-final match in the Hardcore Championship Tournament!
Introducing first…from Los Angeles, California…weighing in at 119 lbs…Rowena! Byrne!
Winter Mae: Rowena Byrne had a strong start in this tournament, but the heat’s about to crank up a bit with this next challenge!
Trick Morrison: It seems that the difficulty level for her in this tournament goes up with each round. If she wins this one she’s gonna have to go against an unpredictable Kimberly Williams or an undefeated Yukiko Kusanagi. Either situation is unfavorable to a lesser competitor, but it seems Byrne enjoys the challenge!
Vivian Blake: And her opponent…from Canberra, Australia…weighing in at 165 lbs…”The Canberran Anti-Christ”...Kasey! FUCKING–
Just then, an assailant in an NFW branded hoodie rushes out of the crowd, taking Kash to the ground from behind! They begin to stomp down on Kash, before grabbing Sheila, his gusset plate lined cricket bat off the ground! The attacker looks towards the ring at a confused referee and a smiling Rowena Byrne, before proceeding to lay into Kash with the bat! The attack finally stops as the attacker is pulled away by security, with Zion medical staff rushing to the aid of Kash!
Winter Mae: What the hell is going on here?!
Trick Morrison: I don’t know, but somebody oughta call the cops or something!
Winter Mae: Security’s already hauling them away, Trick.
Trick Morrison: Oh…well…good job!
The staff begin to check Kash for any potential injuries, with Kassy insisting that he head down to the ring! However, this doesn’t fly with the staff, who motions to take him to the back! Kash starts to shove the staff out of the way in hopes of getting to the ring! But he only succeeds in invoking the presence of Katrina Lopez, who demands that he be checked out and that the match be called off! She signals to Vivian Blake, who scrambles to make the announcement.
Vivian Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, it has been determined that Kasey Kash is not deemed medically fit to compete tonight! Therefore, the winner of this match, by forfeit…Rowena! Byrne!
Winter Mae: Well this is certainly not the way I think anyone wanted this to end!
Trick Morrison: Who ya telling, Winter?! I was ready to see some blood!
Winter Mae: Well I guess you’ll have to wait for our main event tonight, then! With two competitors so vicious that blood may just be on the menu!
Trick Morrison: Hopefully…
WINNER: ROWENA BYRNE
RESULT: FORFEIT
About ten seconds elapses before a pale bulb flicks on. Meager rays reveal a raised circular-shaped wooden platform. All is still for another ten seconds. It is at this point the heavens are ripped open; a figure plunges towards the timbered structure. What is it, one might ask? Well, ‘tis a marionette! And although its construction is crude and primitive, its choice of clothing indicates that it should represent Minka Carter. Its metal assembling hovers in the air. There is no hand attached to the rigging, but oddly enough, the puppet’s strings begin to dance throughout the air. Our marionette responds by doing a nifty jig.
QUEEN Sakamoto: Initially, I categorized her delusional nature as normal. Professional wrestling has been a grandiose sport since the beginning of time. A little imagination is often appreciated. However, as time passes by, I’ve begun to develop a clearer picture of the matter. Neuroticism is not Minka Carter’s primary flaw. If only it were that simple. But alas, her shortcomings hinge on her idiocy and ignorance. And that’s a perilous combination that tends to result in self-destruction.
The figurine comes to a halt, but not before it raises its right hand to cover its mouth.
QUEEN Sakamoto: It is truly a modern miracle that you have made it this far in life, Minka. You are intentionally hard of hearing and do not process information. Reckless dribble spews from your lips without even a second thought. You unnecessarily disparage others in attempts to place yourself on top of a shaky pedestal. You have the gall exalt some random championship instead of Zion’s most prestigious prize. You somehow have extensive knowledge on matters exclusively handed by the company’s marketing, public relations, and sales teams. Are you engaging in illegalities? Hmm? And to top it all off, you feel as if your words are holy gospel, if for no other reason than the fact that you uttered them.
An audible sigh rings out.
QUEEN Sakamoto: My oh my, that’s quite a set of complexes. It is also the indication of a woman who is primed for collapse.
The marionette stiffens up and stands at attention.
QUEEN Sakamoto: Do you know what I find the most humorous out of all of this? You have a lot of lip and a countless amount of air within those lungs. You enjoy having the privilege of doing and saying whatever it is that you please. However, the very instant that someone stands up and claps back, you want to get offended.
Those wooden arms shoot up into the air. Two tiny hands cup the side of the puppet’s head before its hard body begins to shake violently.
QUEEN Sakamoto: I can certainly tell that people in Zion have rolled over for you in the past. They have grown accustomed to you placing a foot on their backs and necks. And you have gotten comfortable with the idea that no one around here will challenge you. Unfortunately for you and everyone else in this promotion, that is the very reason I am here. There is no comfort zone when you are in my presence. All you can rely on at that point is your talent and drive, they won’t be enough to save you either.
Those strings begin the twirl once more, which causes the puppet to prance around the stage.
QUEEN Sakamoto: A devious smile crept across my face the very moment my ears picked up your voice last week. Why? Because even the mighty Minka Carter doesn’t have the wherewithal to avoid my traps. Minka? You are a creature of habit. I told the world that you would become engaged and incensed. Check. I told the world that you would attempt to dissect every word that I spoke in some long diatribe. Check. You are easier to read than any Shakespearean piece. The way you conducted yourself last week? It always occurs when someone gets a little too close to the truth. And instead of dealing with matter like a grown woman, you resort to petty insults and fabrications.
There’s an audible pop. It’s reminiscent of the sound one hears when fingers are snapped.
QUEEN Sakamoto: Speaking of fabrications, let’s end by addressing one. Won’t that be fun!?
Our figurine’s prancing ceases. Instead, it begins to do the Dougie dance.
QUEEN Sakamoto: You referred to me as a hypocrite. Surely it was in reference to me implying that you are a piece of shit, amongst all your other hurt feelings. Did that ending line make you powerful? Hmm?
Laughter fills the room for ten seconds.
QUEEN Sakamoto: You neglected to pick up on one crucial point as you were blindly swinging at poltergeist―
QUEEN Sakamoto: Never in all of my life have I claimed to be a good or righteous person. My callousness and my ego have purposely been on full display each and every time that I have opened up my mouth. In fact, I’ve stated twice that I came to Zion because I thought my skills were superior to everyone here and I wanted to prove it to myself. And thus far? I’ve proven that to be true. Day after day. Week after week. Match after match.
The marionette quickly stands at attention.
QUEEN Sakamoto: If you truly want to know who and what I am, listen clearly. I am more than secure with myself, even the heinous parts. This ruthlessness is what has allowed me to endure in this sport for so long. And what I am, is better than you. You’re bullheaded, so my words will never truly reach you; you’ve proven that. But even the thickest of skulls will crack if collides with a vibranium wall.
A small salute is given before the picture fades to black.

But Peters ducks underneath, catching Carter’s swinging legs and getting her into a Wheelbarrow Position! He lifts Carter up as she begins to send Elbows down to his head to stop him! This does little to help her however, with Peters rushing across the ring and sending her into the corner! He hits the opposite corner, before coming back and nailing Carter with a High Knee! He rushes to the opposite corner again, but this time Carter seems a bit more fired up, rolling him in for a Yakuza Kick! Peters crumbles into the corner, with Carter rushing over and nailing him with a Sliding Forearm! Carter is outside the ring now, possibly looking for one of her staple moves! She grabs hold of the arms, ready to pull Peters against the ringpost! But just then, QUEEN Sakamoto’s music begins to play, lending a distraction to Carter!
Winter Mae: What the hell is QUEEN Sakamoto doing here?!
Trick Morrison: She obviously wants to get a look at her opponent before Invasion! She may be a bit fashionably late, but her purpose here still stands!
QUEEN Sakamoto makes her way down to ringside, the Zion Wrestling Championship on her shoulder! She takes a seat beside the announce table, with Carter looking at her the whole way! Eventually her focus is pulled back into the match, with Peters pulling her facefirst into the ringpost as a reversal! He leaves the ring, grabbing Carter and throwing her back in before hitting her with THE DEAL!! FALCON ARROW CONNECTS!! Peters with the pin!

Kick out by Carter! Peters waits for Carter to make it to her feet, before rushing over for the Neurotoxin v1! But Carter pulls the referee in her way, causing Peters to stop in his tracks! She eventually pushes the official to the side, leaving them disoriented long enough for her to nail a Kick to Peters’ groin! Peters falls to the mat, reeling in pain as Carter sets up in the corner! She waits for Peters to re-emerge, looking for the Demon Stake!
