We come in to a sold out Copper Box Arena! A huge pyro set goes off over the stage as we cut to the announce table!
Eddie Red Apples: With just 48 hours away from the most must-see show across the pond! We’ve got one more dose of action from the blue brand! Welcome everyone…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Eddie Red Apples, joined by Zion’s favorite social media rep Amber Westgate!
Amber Westgate: Just like the red brand earlier this week, we’re keeping it short and sweet! The Copper Box Arena is in for a fun show tonight!
OPENING MATCH: JORDAN MAJORS VS ? ? ? (PICK YOUR POISON MATCH)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Los Angeles, California…weighing in at 130 lbs…Jordan! Majors!
Eddie Red Apples: We start here with the first of our “Pick Your Poison” Matches tonight, Amber!
Amber Westgate: That’s right! Remember, Jordan Majors has no idea who she’s about to face, her opponent has been chosen by Zachary Porter, who’s kept this decision on the hush hush!
The arena goes black and on the big screen in purple lettering appears a date, “22 October 2021.” The date fades to black and more lettering appears, “Fusion,” followed by, “Showdown!” A garbled sounding distorted voice is heard speaking as the screen blanks out.
Voice: It has been almost a year since that day. The day that set you upon your rise in this company and me on my descent.
The voice stops being distorted and changes over to that of a woman with a French accent. The smart fans in the crowd start to stir as they listen on.
Voice: I left and you flourished, but had I stayed would things have been any different? You and I had a destiny intertwined here and elsewhere. Cards were dealt, the chips fell, and tonight we find ourselves once again on opposing sides of the ring. I'm sure you've heard the saying, ma Jordan... Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. The more things change the more they stay the same. Tonight, another page from our book will be written as the story progresses more. Your most beloved rival has returned at the summons of Zachary Porter, but Jordan, I would have shown up tonight, invited or not. Tonight we play again tonight I bring out that side of you that only I can. Tonight, I will hand you that defeat that should have been yours last October. And, Jordan,tu peux apporter ça à la banque!
"Anhedonia" by Seas on the Moon plays and the screen comes back on displaying one name, "Celeste Ciel!" The crowd reaction is mixed as they want to boo Celeste, but her unexpected appearance rouses some cheers. The lights come on purple showing Celeste standing on the stage in her usual black hooded cloak and the camera closes in as she pulls the hood back revealing a smiling face glancing down the aisle at her “helpless” prey.
Alex Lawson: And her opponent…from New Orleans, Louisiana…weighing in at 128 lbs…"Douleur Orgasmique"...Celeste! Ciel!
Eddie Red Apples: This has gotta be the biggest twist of this week so far, Amber! I figure of Jordan Majors’ past comes back in full form!
Amber Westgate: It’s hard to tell if this play was mind games or strategy by the World Champion! It’s obvious to see that this is a way to get into Jordan Majors’ head. But at the same time, when the most important match of your career is less than 48 hours away, Celeste Ciel is the last person you wanna be standing across the ring with!
Ready for action, Celeste removes her cloak revealing her ring gear underneath and rushes the ring sliding under the bottom rope to the inside.
Majors wastes zero time, knowing enough about her opponent tonight to know that she has to snuff her out early! She pounces onto Ciel as she slides under the ropes, laying in with strike after strike to her back before getting her to her feet! She rushes Ciel to the corner, throwing her shoulder first into the ringpost! She sets Ciel up in the corner, rushing across the ring before coming back to her for the early Donk Bonk! But Ciel rolls out of the way, leaving Majors to collide with the turnbuckles on her own! Ciel takes advantage rushing over and nailing Majors with a Corner Knee Lift! She pulls her out, getting her in position before looking for a Release German Suplex! Majors lands on her feet however, hitting the ropes to take advantage of her newfound freedom! But Ciel quickly puts a stop to it, nailing her with a stiff Lariat that turns Majors inside out! Pin by Ciel!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Majors! Ciel pulls her to her feet, lifting her into a Vertical Suplex position! But Majors reverses, slipping down from Ciel’s shoulders and grabbing her from behind for a German Suplex! The slam sends Ciel into the corner, her head colliding with the bottom turnbuckle. Majors pulls out of the corner and rushes for the ropes, nailing her with a Springboard Moonsault! Pin by Majors!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Ciel! Majors pulls Ciel to her feet, looking to finish this with Chapter 11! But Ciel reverses the Double Knee Facebreaker, holding Majors up and sending her to the top turnbuckle! She positions her, looking for a Superplex! But Majors reverses, nailing a few strikes to Ciel’s head before slipping to the mat between her legs! She nails a strike to her back to keep her at bay, before rushing over and nailing a SPRINGBOARD SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Ciel! Majors gets to the top rope, looking to end this with Money Drop! But Ciel rolls out of the way, with Majors rolling to the mat to keep from crashing! She rolls to her feet, going for a Clothesline to Ciel! But she ducks underneath, trapping Majors’ arms before nailing her with an ARM TRAPPED GERMAN SUPLEX!! Pin by Ciel!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Majors! Ciel gets to her feet, setting up in the corner before rushing over to Majors! She glides seamlessly across the Star of Tomorrow’s shoulders, looking for Ode à la Jordanie! Majors reverses however, catching the Tilt-A-Whirl set up at just the right time to nail a CASH OUT!! CUTTER!! FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!! Majors with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Jordan! Majors!
Eddie Red Apples: What a win for Jordan Majors here tonight!
Amber Westgate: Yeah but you can see it in her eyes now. A win’s a win, but it isn’t win 3 of 3! That’s what’s important to her now!
Majors sits beside a fallen Ciel, giving her a pat on the stomach before getting to her feet! She has her hand raised by the official as we fade out!
WINNER: JORDAN MAJORS
RESULT: PINFALL
MATCH #2: TAJNIA MUSTAFI VS SUBIE BRUH (FUSION TRYOUT MATCH)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Sylhet, Bangladesh by way of Cardiff, Wales…weighing in at 9 stone…”The Intellectual Athlete”...Tajnia! Mustafi!
Eddie Red Apples: Tajnia Mustafi being given a very unique opportunity tonight! I don’t think we’ve every had anyone try out to be a part of the Fusion roster before.
Amber Westgate: It comes off to me like the top brass may be watching this one! Checking to see if the self-proclaimed “Scholarly Submissionist” is worth the paper her contract would be printed on! Extra pressure for her to impress!
Alex Lawson: And her opponent, already in the ring…Subie Bruh!
Subie Bruh tries to get the jump on Mustafi from the start, looking for a swing! But she reverses it, catching the arm of Subie before twisting her right into a Wristlock! She quickly follows up, transitioning into a Side Headlock! Subie tries to lift Mustafi for a Back Suplex, but she lands on her feet, hitting the ropes before nailing Subie with a Running Knee Strike! Subie falls back into the corner, where Mustafi follows up with an Enziguri, before pulling her out and getting her in a Ripcord Position! She pulls Subie in, nailing her with a Ripcord Elbow Strike! Subie gets to her hands and knees on the mat, with Mustafi hitting the ropes and nailing her with a CURB STOMP!! She’s not finished however, getting Subie locked into VENUS DE MILO!! CATTLE MUTILATION IS IN!! Subie doesn’t hesitate, tapping out immediately!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Tajnia! Mustafi!
Eddie Red Apples: An impressive win for Tajnia Mustafi tonight!
Amber Westgate: But was it impressive enough to earn a contract?
Mustafi celebrates her win outside the ring, high fiving the fans as she makes her way up the ramp! She backs up to the stage, where a pleased looking Katrina Lopez is there waiting for her! She applauds the woman’s performance, handing her a Zion labeled leather folder, seemingly with a contract inside!
Amber Westgate: Guess that answers my question!
Eddie Red Apples: Congratulations to Zion Wrestling’s newest signing!
Mustafi celebrates with her contract as we fade out!
WINNER: TAJNIA MUSTAFI
RESULT: SUBMISSION
Pre-recorded…
We cut to an old, almost ancient looking throne room. Indeed there is a throne, not a very comfortable looking throne. This throne is made up of various staple guns (?!). A few moments later and Velociraptor Blue comes strolling into view from the right with his loyal friend “The Woman Scorned” Kimberly Williams riding on his back. The animatronic dinosaur comes to a stop before the staple gun throne. The self-proclaimed Queen of the Death Match slowly gets off of Velociraptor Blue. Kimberly is dressed in denim jeans, flip flops, and a black t-shirt that reads “Worship Me” on the front. She has a crown on her head.
Kimberly Williams: My name is Kimberly Frances of the House of the Dragon! First of my name!
She looks over at Blue.
Kimberly Williams: That’s how this works, right?
Velociraptor Blue: Yeah, if you wanna be sued by HBO and George R R Martin, ya dumb bitch.
Kimberly Williams: Hey! I am NOT ripping off Game of Thrones! My mom’s in ring nickname was The Dragon WAAAAAAY before Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon! And I am The Queen of the Death Match! So I am Queen Kimberly Frances of the House of the Dragon, first of my name, and…
She sighs and shrugs her shoulders.
Kimberly Williams: Ok, fine, I’m ripping off Game of Thrones, but you don’t have to make it so damn obvious! You realize my lawyer is actually a hamster named Caligula, don’t you?
Velociraptor Blue: Not my fault yer a cheap ass.
Williams smirks devilishly.
Kimberly Williams: Well speaking of cheap…
She waves at the camera.
Kimberly Williams: Hi there, Yukiko! You wanted to talk about crowns and you wanted to question my claim to the throne of Queen of the Death Match. I held four separate deathmatch championships simultaneously. The HKW Bloodlust Championship I have held for over a year. Now normally I’m not one for a pissing contest like that but c’mon, even a chaos driven fiend like me has to admit that results speak for themselves and I always get results. And I get results because I have no issue with putting my own body in harm’s way to achieve an end. I have no qualms shedding my own blood and taking years off of my own career, potentially off of my own life, just to maintain my seat upon this throne…
Williams rips one of the staple guns off of the throne and waves it at the camera.
Kimberly Williams: I have used weapons like this against my opponents. My first deathmatch title victory was in an Ass Stapling Match! So c’mon, what won’t I do to get through you and win this tournament? Huh?
She reaches off screen and picks something up. We see that it is her knife glove, Betty White. She places it on her hand and waves it menacingly.
Kimberly Williams: What won’t I do, indeed? Whilst I sit here as a true monarch in the realm of the deathmatch, you still must prove yourself. I have proven myself again and again and again over and over as a sick, sadistic, twisted bitch! Even your heir apparent to the Zion throne, Jordan Majors, even SHE IS FUCKING SCARED OF THE FACT THAT I AM HERE IN THIS DAMN COMPANY!
She throws her head back and laughs.
Kimberly Williams: After this evening is over, you will bow down to the one true Queen of the Death Match and I will take one step closer towards claiming what is mine, the Zion Hardcore Championship.
MATCH #3: KIMBERLY WILLIAMS VS YUKIKO KUSANAGI (HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT SEMIFINALS)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is a semi-final match in the Hardcore Championship Tournament!
Introducing first…from Boston, Massachusetts…weighing in at 120 lbs…Kimberly! Williams!
And her opponent…from Osaka, Japan…weighing in at 125 lbs…Yukiko! Kusanagi!
A coin flip decides the stipulation, this time with it favoring Williams! She picks out a Barbed Wire Exploding Ring Deathmatch, with the two combatants standing by as the ring crew sets up the stipulation!
These two act very quickly, with the timer ticking down to their destruction! Kusanagi launches right into Williams, laying her out with a Big Boot! She gets her to her feet getting her up for Vertical Suplex! But Williams slips away from her, getting behind Kusanagi and pushing her towards the ropes, setting off one of the C4 charges right in her face! Williams rolls her up!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Kusanagi! Williams gets her to her feet, looking to throw her towards the C4 ladened ropes again! But Kusanagi reverses, pushing Williams into the corner and beginning to lay into her with vicious stomps! She hits the adjacent corner, before rushing back to Williams with a Facewash! Williams crawls over to the ropes, draping over the barbed wire in a strange attempt at comfort! Kusanagi takes advantage of this, hopping to the apron to attempt a Draping Big Boot! But Williams gets out of the way, instead catching Kusanagi from behind and pulling her into the barbed wire and sending her caroming from the apron and to the floor! Williams gets an idea, jumping to the top rope and launching down to Kusanagi below with a Crossbody! She throws Kusanagi back in the ring for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Kick out Kusanagi! Williams decides to finish this quick, rushing towards Kusanagi for the Shadow Blade! But Kusanagi snatches her right out of the Busaiku Knee attempt catch her with the STEEL FEATHER!! REVERSE ROUND CONNECTS!! Kusanagi with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Williams! Kusanagi sets up, looking for Kuro Gishiki! But Williams isn’t having it, refusing to be lifted off the mat before sliding out of dodge between Kusanagi’s legs! She attempts to push her into the ropes again, but Kusanagi dodges it, now catching Williams from behind with a Dropkick! The shot sends Williams into the ropes, dropping her face first into an exploding C4 charge and leaving her draping on the barbed wire! Kusanagi takes advantage once again, stepping onto the apron and nailing Williams with the DRAPING BIG BOOT!! Kusanagi nails it, sending Williams’ head into another exploding C4 charge!! Kusanagi wastes no time from her getting Williams up and hitting her with KURO GISHIKI!! BLACK SABBATH!! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS!! Kusanagi with the pin, with just a minute and half on the timer to spare!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Yukiko! Kusanagi!
Eddie Red Apples: Yukiko Kusanagi takes the win and advances to the finals!
Amber Westgate: Kimberly Williams had an amazing showing, but no one can seem to keep up with the Osaka Devil!
Kusanagi quickly leaves the ring, celebrating at ringside to avoid an explosive fate! Meanwhile, Williams is still laid out in the ring, with only 30 seconds to spare! Williams’ Velociraptor, Blue, makes an appearance at the last possible moment, nudging Williams out of the ring under the bottom rope and jumping out himself before the squared circle erupts in a sea of explosions!
WINNER: YUKIKO KUSANAGI
RESULT: PINFALL
MAIN EVENT: ZACHARY PORTER VS ? ? ? (PICK YOUR POISON MATCH)
As the production crew work to get the ring back in order following a hellacious match, we see Katrina Lopez talking to one of the production crew members. A worried look crosses the worker’s face as Lopez seems to bark an order towards him! He carries on with his job as the entrances are made!
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Laredo, Texas…weighing in at 190 lbs…he is the Zion Wrestling World! Heavyweight! Champion!...Zachary! Porter!
Eddie Red Apples: Earlier tonight, Zachary Porter gave Jordan Majors a tall order in the form of Celeste Ciel! Now it’s Jordan’s turn to throw a curveball to her World Champion opponent come Saturday!
Amber Westgate: You gotta imagine that Zachary Porter is a bit more motivated now than he was at the beginning of the night! His challenger was able to eke out a win, and it’d be a bad look on him and his chances come Saturday if he’s unable to do the same!
Suddenly the lights go out, with everyone’s attention by directed towards the titantron!
The scene suddenly changes back to Cleveland. However, the storms are coming in strong. The rain is coming down at an alarming pace. Serena looks all around her, as she faces her front yard. She begins to quiver, not fully knowing what to expect. The house that sits lakeside looks to be on its last leg. The waves are crashing at an intense speed. Something feels eerie to Serena. Something just feels…Off. To match, the entire scene is black and white.
Serena: “Okay. Now I’m confused. I’m back home?”
Imposter: “You sure are, puddin! Now…Remember back when you first started? No one liked you at all, right? Well..Maybe now you should go into the house. There’s an interview setup. Set the record straight?”
Serena gets more and more puzzled by the second. She rubs her arms as if she’s cold. In the summer though? That’s a bit strange. Her leather jacket and her Cypress Hill shirt doesn’t seem to add too much warmth. Although she seems to be moving at quite a fast pace, it seems like each step takes an eternity just for her to move. She’s confused by the atmosphere as a whole. She tries to open the door. But it seems stuck.
Imposter looks at her and shakes her head in pure disappointment.
Imposter: “Rena, girl. You need an entrance. The front door? Since when have you ever done things the way they’re supposed to be done?”
Serena blankly stares at Imposter for a second before hearing police sirens once more.
Rena/Imposter: “Fucking Pigs.”
They look at each other. Imposter knew it was coming. Serena didn’t. Maybe…Maybe there’s something to that? Serena doesn’t know. She opts for the small rock in her bushes, shattering the kitchen window into a million small pieces. She looks back at Imposter who simply nods her head before she pushes herself up in the window.
Serena: “Aren’t you coming?”
Imposter: “Know what? I’ma sit this one out. I think you can figure it out.”
Serena gets even more worried. So much so she starts shaking quite a bit. She carefully slides into the broken window, avoiding any of the glass. The camera then cuts right back to Imposter who chuckles before lighting up a Newport.
We hear a loud *crunch* of broken glass. Serena looks around the kitchen. Funny, she doesn’t remember leaving it this messy. Broken coffee mugs? Chairs flipped over? What the Hell? She takes a moment to rub the broken mugs. She notices on the fridge, the picture of her, Jack and Jordan is gone…As well as a bunch of other pictures with Jordan? What the Hell?
Her knee jerk reaction is to open the refrigerator. She does, however, find nothing, literally nothing in there. Not even a vegan egg in the fridge. Odd. She just went out to do the grocery shopping 2 days ago. Closing the white refrigerator door, she begins to make her way into the living room.
ZION Interviewer Marina Flores is sitting in Serena’s favorite chair. However, Marina isn’t her cheerful self. Instead, she looks highly annoyed. Tapping her foot on the floor, she signals for Serena to take a seat.
Marina: *sigh* “It’s about time. You’re so fucking pathetic, you know that right? Alright. Let’s get this over before I lose any more interest in your dwindling career.”
Serena slowly makes her way to the couch right next to the chair. The entire time we see Marina looking on in absolute disgust that she’s wasting her time with a failure. Marina waits for the sign from a producer before she puts on a wide, fake smile with her microphone in her hand, as a producer is giving one to Marina.
Marina: “Joining me right now from Cleveland, Ohio is the lamest has-been in all of sport! Serena “Matches are like watching paint dry”...Ryder!”
Serena: Oh, it’s Riot—”
Marina: “Tell me, bitch. How bad is your career getting when you can’t even afford gas to go to the ZION show? Instead we had to foot the bill just so we can do this! That losing streak of yours sure is paying off, isn’t it?”
Just then, the camera zooms in on Marina who begins to laugh demonically. Her eyes weren’t the usual color. They were that of flames. As if to remind Serena she’s in Hell right now. Marina laughs and her mouth is nothing but crimson red color, as if signifying blood! Serena is beyond scared right now. She does what she does best, and that's to run away. She instantly jumps off the couch and runs upstairs, locking the door. She’s panic breathing, but she’s not alone. She hears some sobbing coming from her closet.
She picks her head up and makes her way towards the door. We hear tense music being played in the background. The camera goes for a quick POV angle, with Riot’s hand slowly reaching towards the doorknob, and twisting it open. It’s Jack! Her son Jack is curled up in a ball crying his eyes out.
Serena instantly grabs a hold of him, holding his face in by her chest. She feels his pain, and draws from it. Now her tears are coming down. Her first love is upset. And she wants to know why.
Jack: “No..No, no no no Momma…I don’t want to…Please don’t let her do it. I don’t want to lose you!”
Serena: “Baby, what are you talking about? Lose me? Who said you’re going to lose me?”
Ashlynn Cassidy: “I did, you self righteous, egotistical dumbfuck. I’m kicking your entitled, convict ass tonight…”
Serena’s best friend Ashlynn comes into the room, tossing an apple up and down in the air.
Ashlynn: “That’s right. Little Jackie here is going to grow up. He’s going to go to school. And when they talk about his parents, he’s going to have to choose. Between the sperm donor. Or the girl who fights meaningless battles. The girl who can’t win to save her fucking life. The girl who, let’s face it. Is probably a bigger slut than her dead mother before her!”
Serena: “FUCK YOU BITCH!”
Serena leaps after Ashlynn, but it doesn’t do anything. Instead, Ashlynn becomes a giant version of herself. With a simple whack, she sends Serena flying across the room, and landing on top of Jack. Or atleast, what should have been Jack, as he dissipates in thin air. Serena begins clenching at her back, knowing the type of pain that it’s been in before. The agony on her face is very telling. But Ashlynn can’t help but laugh.
Ashlynn: “I’ve been covering for you for far, far too long. But don’t worry. Because once I’m done with you, I’ll gladly take custody of Jack. Let’s face it, I’ll be more of a mother to him than what you could ever be! You no good, piece of shit!”
Ashlynn winks before taking a bite of the apple and spitting it in Rena’s face and laughing. She walks out, shrinking back down to normal size. Serena is absolutely enraged right now. She shrieks and begins slamming the ground. She’s in too much mental pain to carry on. But maybe there’s light at the end of the tunnel…Possibly. Jordan Majors comes running in.
Jordan: “Jack! Is everything—Oh. It’s you. Jesus Christ, why are you still here? I thought you left already. Didn’t I tell you before? No one, I repeat no one wants you around. Just leave. Fall off the face of the Earth and never come back. I don’t want you. Your dad doesn’t want you. Jack definitely doesn’t want you.”
Serena: “Jordan? But…What’s going on? Why doesn’t anyone like me?”
Jordan: “Oh. I thought we made it clear. But I forgot. You’re too stupid to understand. Sweetie. It’s over. Your whole life is horrible. You went on a losing streak. Then a downward spiral. We tried to help you. We did. But…In the end you fell back into well…I guess you can call it Wicked Ways. You hit the bong. You slammed the bottles. And…Well, as always, your true colors came out.”
Serena: “What do you mean?”
Jordan: “You pushed us all away, Serena. Every single one of us. What did you think was going to happen? That we were going to push back, and accept you? No. We’re tired of your flaws. We’re tired of you being this manipulative, stupid little druggie from the worst city in the United States. Serena…No one likes you. This is your doing. And we’re done expecting you to do the right thing.”
Serena cries.
Jordan: “Oh boo hoo. Miss “Woe is me!” That’s you to a tee isn’t it, you dumb bitch? Cry. Cry some more. Because let’s face it, you’ll NEVER be even half the woman that myself or Ash are. And that eats you all up, doesn’t it? DOESNT IT?”
She goes to leave, but it’s not long before Jordan pushes Serena up against a wall. Serena watches as the drywall cracks and falls apart slowly.
Jordan: “FOR ONCE! YOU’RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME! IT’S NOT THE SERENA SHOW ANYMORE YOU LITTLE BITCH! NOW PACK UP YOUR SHIT AND LEAVE…LEAVE!”
Jordan releases the hold, as Serena drops down. She feels extremely dizzy and Jordan just looks at her, blowing a very sarcastic kiss before snapping her fingers and poofing into thin air. Serena gets up, and begins running out of the house.
Except…
The entire downstairs is lit up in flames! Boards are breaking and cracking under the pressure. She looks for another way to escape, but she can’t seem to find a suitable exit. She sees Marina Flores sitting there, but her face is now demonized. Her laugh becomes even more bass-heavy. All while flames erupt left and right. She panics, breaking out in a sweat. She rushes right past Marina, and she sees a familiar face. Sara Reece, the former FCW interviewer stands in her way.
Sara: “Oh, hey! I remember you!”
Marina: “DONT TALK TO HER!”
Sara: “...Yes, Marina.”
Sara looks at Serena, pointing her to get the Hell out of the devil-fueled home. Serena just barely gets out as the heat gets even more intense.She runs out, tripping over some rocks in the process. She stands up, only to see the house suddenly back to normal.
Imposter: “Well?”
Serena looks at the Imposter, stealing the Newport from her mouth. She walks slowly over by the front door, flicking the half smoked cigarette towards it, before getting her lighter out, engulfing the house in flames.
Serena: “Thank you. This world is mine for the taking. And I plan on evolving. I plan on making things whole again. No more Tick Tock. No more. No more nice Serena Riot. The world…The world now gets the Serena Riot they were destined to see this entire time.
Exit Light.
Just then the lights in the arena burst to life as Porter's opponent is revealed!
Alex Lawson: And his opponent…from Cleveland, Ohio…weighing in at 150 lbs…”The Fallen Prophet”...Serena! Riot!
Eddie Red Apples: Ohhhhhh no…
Amber Westgate: I don’t think Porter was expecting this…
Eddie Red Apples: Jordan Majors pulling out the big guns on the World Champion!
Riot immediately catches Porter off guard rushing over his corner and nailing him with a Shotgun Dropkick! Porter crumbles into the turnbuckles as Riot begins to lay into him with a bevy of strikes! The official pulls him away, with Riot backing away before rushing right back in with a brutal Facewash! She pulls Porter out of the corner for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Porter! Riot pulls him to his feet, setting him up before going for a Discus Forearm! Porter blocks the shot however, immediately retaliating with a Forearm of his own! He follows up with a boot to the midsection, before throwing Riot into the corner, sending her shoulder first into the ring post! Riot falls out of the ring, with Porter looking to follow suit as he hits the ropes! He peeks his head out between the ropes, seemingly looking for a Suicide Dive! But Riot quickly counters, nailing him with a Forearm that leaves him draped over the second rope! Riot looks to take advantage, giving the audience some nasty implications as she dangles Porter’s head over the concrete floor in a Rope-Hung DDT position! Porter escapes the potentially fatal move however, removing his feet from the ropes and planting them on the apron! He makes matters worse for Riot, sending her straight to the concrete with a Back Body Drop off the apron!
Porter takes a moment to regain his bearings on the apron, before climbing down to get Riot to her feet! He looks to cause even more damage now, looking for a Vertical Suplex on the floor! Riot reverses however, getting to her feet behind Porter and pushing him into the ring post! She re-enters the ring, hitting the ropes before peeking her head out through the ropes for a Suicide Dive! Porter prepares to make a move, but this seems to be a trick laid by Riot, who stops in her tracks in front of Porter and nails him with a quick Uppercut through the ropes! She follows up, stepping out onto the apron and launching onto him with an Asai Moonsault! She throws him back in the ring for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Porter! Riot looks to finish this one off, hitting the ropes for Wicked Ways! But Porter dodges the Curbstomp, catching Riot from behind and nailing her with a German Suplex! He rolls through, hitting another German Suplex! He bridges for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Riot! Porter gets her up, only for Riot to swat his hands away and hit him with a Forearm Strike! She looks to further capitalize with a Roundhouse Kick, but Porter ducks underneath it, picking Riot’s other leg and sending her back first to the mat! He looks to capitalize now, going for a Double Foot Stomp! But Riot rolls out of the way, sweeping the legs of Porter as he lands on the mat and leaving him laying! She jumps up now, looking for a Leg Drop! But Porter sits up to avoid the move, rolling over a now seated Riot and rising to his feet with her in a Tombstone Piledriver position! He lifts Riot up for the move, but she reverses, slipping over Porter’s shoulder and landing behind him on the mat! She lifts the World Champion from behind now, getting him in a Torture Rack position! The crowd gasps with anticipation, with Riot nodding her head to say that she’s going for exactly what they think he is! She launches Porter off her shoulders for the Burning Hammer, but Porter reverses, getting a full grip on Riot’s head and landing on the mat with the COWBOY UP!! SIT OUT FACEBUSTER FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!! Porter hops on top for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Riot! Porter wanders over to the corner, seemingly about to climb to the top rope! But Riot begins to roll away, prompting Porter to climb to the top in the other corner instead! Porter leaps off, looking for Paradise Lost! But Riot rolls out of the way, leaving Porter to land on the mat and fumble to his knees! Riot hits the ropes now, nailing Porter with WICKED WAYS!! CURB STOMP CONNECTS!! Riot with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Porter! Riot is in disbelief! The very move that Riot used to hand Porter his one and only clean loss doesn’t put the World Champion away this time! Riot gets to feet, going towards the corner formerly jumped off by Porter! Just then however, Katrina Lopez shows up, standing on the apron near the corner! Katrina implores Riot to go elsewhere, threatening repercussions if Riot did anything but walk away! Not wanting to blow her shot in this match, Riot begrudgingly listens! She takes to the opposite corner, the one Porter nearly climbed before Riot rolled away from him! She takes to the top turnbuckle, looking to launch off with a Demon Drop! But something completely unexpected happens…
As she begins to leap, the top turnbuckle COLLAPSES entirely!
Riot faceplants to the mat, with Katrina Lopez smiling at the whole thing! She had it rigged from the start! Porter gets to his feet, immediately choosing to berate the general manager rather than take advantage of Riot’s awful circumstances! The squabbling between these two goes on for a while! Long enough for an admittedly groggy Riot to get to her feet and rush towards the World Champion! Porter stays alert however, turning around just in time to catch her with the COWBOY UP!! He takes to one of the remaining corners, testing the strength of the top turnbuckle before climbing up and hitting PARADISE LOST!! DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS!! Porter with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Zachary! Porter!

Amber Westgate: Katrina Lopez had the whole thing rigged from the start! I saw that interaction she had with the crew member earlier! She must’ve told him to rig that top turnbuckle!

Porter raises his title in the air, staring angrily at a smiling Katrina Lopez as we go off the air!
