Zion Wrestling Presents: Monday Night Mayhem Episode 53!!

[Kai Morgan]

We fade in to a sold out Avicii Arena! A huge set off pyro goes off to start us off for Mayhem tonight!



As the show opens, we cut to a pre-recorded video--specifically, a pre-recorded video from earlier in the afternoon, in the parking garage. Tommy Green hustles to meet up with the subject of his particular curiosity, the number one contender to the Zion Championship, Théa Erzili, who looks...if you can imagine, even less enthused for the interview than normal. La Femme Destineé nonetheless humors Tommy--at least, at first.

Tommy Green: Théa, I just wanted to get your thoughts after the way last week’s show ended; you and QUEEN Sakamoto seemed to be at le--

Théa Erzili: Silencieux.

The look that crosses Théa’s face is one of recognition; she probably should’ve known that would be the first question. She stuffs her hands into the pockets of her jacket as a slick little smile forms on her face.

Théa Erzili: Oui, Mademoiselle Sakamoto and I were not at each other’s necks until last week; I see no reason to bite the throat out of everyone I come across, Monsieur Green; however, it seems La Championne du Monde took offense to...something? Perhaps simply my presence--more likely, it would seem, her own inability to focus on the task at hand. I was simply there to watch, Mademoiselle Championne. I made no effort to get myself involved in your match--had I wanted to, I would have done so long before then; whatever led you to making that decision, you felt the need to take liberties, oui? You felt the need to make some ill-considered point.

Théa chuckles a little bit, shaking her head as the tip of her tongue sticks out of the corner of her mouth for just a second.

Théa Erzili: I am curious, cherie--did you think you were beyond reciprocation? Tu es impressionnant, pas invincible--I am not someone who tolerates my decency being taken advantage of and you, of all people, should understand that there were going to be consequences when you chose to do so. But, if I’m honest, Mademoiselle Sakamoto? I hope...that you are truly as grand as you say you are, and you learned the lesson les Dieux had to teach you; I hope you are truly as great as you believe, and you understand that there is nobody--not even la Reine--that escapes Fate.

At this point, Théa reaches into her back pocket, plucking out one of her familiar Tarot cards--a man reaching with one arm to the heavens, the other pointed to the ground, clad a pure white robe under a blood-red cloak. In front of him, are a sword, a branch, a pentagram, and a goblet. The card is notably upside-down, but the more determined might be able to catch “THE MAGICIAN” at the top of the inverted card before Théa tucks it into Tommy’s jacket pocket, a look on her face as though she trusts she doesn’t have to explain why she’s giving him that.

And then? She continues on with her speech.

Théa Erzili: As for Mademoiselle Leija--hmm, le jappement de colère des chiots, you were a consequence of Mademoiselle Sakamoto’s decisions, cherie. I did not cost you anything, you were beaten...you simply didn’t know it yet. But since I seem to be the target of your misplaced aggression? Très bien, bring your anger, cherie. Bring your righteousness. Apportez tout ce que vous avez et plus encore, and, just as I have done for a year now? I will be happy to remind you...and everyone...

Théa pauses, just for a second, that coy little smirk forming on her lips once again.

Théa Erzili: Et il n'y a rien--there is nothing...that outshines a Masterpiece.

Rather than strike her usual pose in the middle of the garage, Théa just raises an arm, wrist flicked outward just enough to make her usual hand gesture, before turning to leave the scene, leaving Tommy Green having...maybe gotten the answers he wanted?



The camera finds a visibly upset Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija standing all by herself in a hallway.

Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija: Théa Erzili…

The anger radiates off her just at the sound of the name.

Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija: Théa es una gonorrea de persona.

She points into the camera.

Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija: Hágame un catorce, dile a la malparida carechimba que odio el culicagado por ser tan caremonda.

Leaning in closer to the camera, Turbo almost grabs it.

Carmen Lucia “Turbo” Leija: Crees que estoy por debajo de ti. Debo probar que te equivocas.



MATCH #1: THEA ERZILI VS CARMEN “TURBO” LEIJA

Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Vivian Blake: Introducing first…representing Las Olvidadas…from New Orleans, Louisiana…weighing in at 120 lbs…Carmen! “Turbo”! Leija!

And her opponent…from New Orleans, Louisiana…weighing in at 147 lbs…”The Masterpiece”...Thea! Erzili!



Turbo immediately goes after Erzili, only being countered by a Waistlock! It seems as though Turbo is going to struggle in this hold for a while, but only persists for mere seconds before she clocks Erzili over the head with a Back Elbow to fend her off! Erzili staggers back, leaving an opening for Turbo to take her down with a Bicycle Kick! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Erzili! Turbo pulls her up to her feet, sending her into the ropes with an Irish Whip! Erzili hooks her arms on the top rope, with Turbo charging after her and being nailed with a Back Elbow to the side of the head! She throws Turbo into the corner now, stomping her into a seated position before nailing her with a Facewash! She pulls Turbo to her feet, lifting her up before going for a Powerbomb for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Turbo! Erzili pulls The Shieldmaiden off the mat, getting her into position and looking for a DDT! But Turbo reverses, instead hoisting Erzili up and pushing her to the top rope instead! She climbs up with her, possibly looking for a Superplex to send her down with, but Erzili retorts with a set of strikes to the midsection! She eventually gets Turbo to release her before nailing a few strikes to top of her head to send her tumbling to the mat! Erzili fully climbs the top rope, seemingly waiting for Turbo to get up for a Diving Crossbody! But Turbo isn’t giving up, jumping to the top rope and catching Erzili by surprise by throwing her to the mat with a Superplex anyway! Both competitors are down, with Turbo eventually gaining back some motion to lie on top of Erzili for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out by Erzili! Turbo doesn’t let up, taking to the second rope before attempting the Turbo Boost! But Erzili rolls out of the way, dodging the Best Moonsault Ever and leaving Turbo to land on her feet instead! She charges back to Erzili, only to be nailed with the X-CALIBER!! SWINGING REVERSE STO CONNECTS!! Pin by Erzili!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Shoulder up by Turbo at the nick of time! Erzili looks to end this one, getting Turbo in position for the Warp Gate! Turbo isn’t having it however, using what’s left of her energy to fight back with a set of heavy Elbows to the side of the head! Erzili has enough of this, pushing Turbo up on her shoulders instead! Turbo uses this to escape, slipping from Erzili’s shoulders before pushing her from behind, sending her shoulder first into the ring post! Erzili crumbles in the corner, with Turbo taking advantage she rushes across the ring, hitting a HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW!! Turbo pushes Erzili to the mat, taking to the top rope and going for the Turbocharger! But Erzili rolls out of the way, dodging the Phoenix Splash! She immediately gets Turbo into position, nailing her with the WARP GATE!! LIGHTNING SPIRAL CONNECTS!! Pin by Erzili!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Thea! Erzili!

Winter Mae: Big win for Thea Erzili ahead of her match this Saturday!

Trick Morrison: If she can pull that off this Saturday, we could have The Masterpiece as the new Zion Wrestling Champion!

Erzili celebrates her victory as we fade.

WINNER: THEA ERZILI
RESULT: PINFALL



The scene opens backstage. ISIS is standing with her hands resting on her hips. She stares stoically into the camera.

ISIS: “I can safely speak for everyone Reo when I say, you’ve wasted enough opportunities. The Zion Wrestling Championship opportunity. Then there was the National Championship opportunity. Some would argue having the chance to end my streak is another opportunity you’ve been granted. Just like the other opportunities you’ve been afforded, you’re going to fail at this task too. I am done watching people I have put down incur favor. Watching Reina Mendoza receive a Trios and Gateway Championship opportunity did annoy me. “

“I became a professional wrestler to dominate. To win championships. Ever since I made my presence known, I have dominated. The one opportunity I haven’t been given is the chance to become champion. Growing quite tiresome. Destruction for destruction sake is fun. Don’t let my mission to destroy fool you, my desire to become a champion has never abandoned me.”

“I have no idea what this special opportunity is. I am going to make one thing clear. If this special opportunity isn’t a shot at one of Zions many championships, well, I am going to ramp up my destructive path. No one is safe. Including you Reo. You will fall at the hands of a God... old man! Father time catches up to everyone.”

ISIS winks. She walks off as the scene fades to black.



The scene cuts backstage as Reo Ojima is seen leaning up against a wall. Eyes shut and in deep meditation. As cool as the other side of the pillow. Sensing the camera crew is near, Reo opens his eyes and shows a sign of disgust to see the camera crew cutting in on his meditation time. He plays nice and starts to cut a promo.

Reo Ojima: Just another match for yours truly. I know it says Winner Gets Special Opportunity, but special opportunities get thrown around here all the time. Just because of my record and the high profile matches I’ve had here in Zion, I’ll get another title match sooner rather than later. ISIS on the other hand, she wants this win. She needs this win. Her head is clouded for this win. Easy pickings for me. Exploit that need to win and get the easy W against the so-called God of Destruction.

Reo scoffs as he thinks about ISIS.

Reo Ojima: God of Destruction…..God of Destruction my ass. What have you done to deserve that title? Huh? You’ve done nothing to earn that title. You’re just like the other kids here in Zion who give themselves nicknames and think they’re the drizzling shits. Well you're not. Just another kid who’s way over their head once they step in the ring with me.

Reo slaps the side of the camera a few times before addressing the camera again.

Reo Ojima: Tonight, I’m going to wake you up from your little dream world and show you just what a God of Destruction really looks like as I drag your ass from one side of the arena to the other with my finger fish hooked in your mouth. Let’s see if you think you’re a badass then.

Reo gives a sinister smirk before popping in his mouthguard and makes his way to the ring.



MATCH #2: REO OJIMA VS ISIS (SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY ON THE LINE)



Ojima circles the ring with ISIS in the early goings of this match, intelligently going low and grabbing at the leg of his opponent! This gets an immediate reaction from the God of Destruction, who pushes her leg forward to send Ojima back into the corner! ISIS rushes after Ojima in the corner, catching a boot to the side of her face for her trouble! Ojima goes on the offense now, supplying Kick after Kick to the side of the giant woman’s thigh in an attempt to weaken her stance! This eventually yields dividends, with ISIS being brought to a knee by Ojima’s pure striking power! He hits the ropes now, hoping to go for another move! But ISIS regains control, catching him flush with a Headbutt before going for the pin, where she only gets a two!

ISIS pulls Ojima back to his feet, sending him to the ropes with an Irish Whip! She hunches over, awaiting Ojima’s return, but he reverses with a Kick to the head! ISIS staggers, with Ojima following up with a Knife Edge Chop! This seems to cause more anger than agony however, with a raging ISIS pushing Ojima back into the corner and nailing him with a Knife Edge Chop of her own! This shot does little to affect Ojima, who invites another Chop from ISIS! She obliges, laying into Ojima with another Chop! But The Stone Gargoyle still isn’t affected, inviting even more punishment! ISIS goes for a Chop once more, but Ojima catches it, pulling her into the corner and laying into her with Machine Gun Chops! ISIS’ chest turns beet red as Ojima lets her out of the corner, slamming her with the Ojima Spinebuster! Pin by Ojima only getting two and a half!

Ojima looks to finish this off, trying to lift ISIS off the mat for the Last Call! Just as he gets her up however, ISIS reverses, getting back to her feet and managing to lift Ojima up instead, nailing him with a Powerslam! Ojima staggers to his feet, turning to face a signature Bicycle Kick from ISIS! She goes for the pin, with Ojima getting the shoulder up at two and a half! ISIS attempts Welcome to Dystopia, but Ojima slips away, once again getting her in position for the Last Call! But ISIS once again slips from his shoulders, pushing him from behind into the corner and tossing him with a German Suplex! She gets him up, nailing him with Welcome to Dystopia (One-Armed Powerbomb)! Pin by ISIS, securing the three!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…ISIS!

Winter Mae: Another win by ISIS, and over some huge competition this time!

Trick Morrison: And now due to her win, she has some vague “huge opportunity” coming! I can’t wait to see what she gets for all her hard work.

ISIS stands over Ojima as we fade.

WINNER: ISIS
RESULT: PINFALL

We cut backstage to find Samuel Lopez standing in front of a Mayhem backdrop with Dr. Castiel Talbot standing beside him.

Dr. Castiel Talbot: Good evening ladies and gentlemen… I am Dr. Castiel Talbot. Psychiatrist, manager and voice to the gentleman standing beside me, Samuel Lopez.

Lopez remains unmoving and stoic as Talbot strokes his beard.

Dr. Castiel Talbot: Tonight my dear Samuel is going one on one with Mr. Oliver Peters. This man has been around in this business for a long time, he is an experienced veteran of this industry on a mission to redeem himself.

The psychiatrist pushes his glasses up from his nose and over his face.

Dr. Castiel Talbot: It is unfortunate that you are having problems with your own son, Mr. Peters. Family is a very important thing, something I am sure you understand and when a member of your family ends up heading down the wrong path, it can be heartbreaking. It is something Samuel here can sympathize with you on.

Talbot clears his throat briefly.

Dr. Castiel Talbot: I was talking to Samuel earlier today and he said that he hopes that you are not too focused on your upcoming battle at War Games with your son. Not that Samuel believes you are overlooking him, but because he understands how much fighting with a member of your family can take its toll on one’s mind.

He clutches his walking cane in his left hand as he lightly scratches the side of his nose with his right index finger.

Dr. Castiel Talbot: You need to make sure that you are one hundred percent focused on Samuel tonight, Mr. Peters. Because he is very well aware of the leg injury you suffered that cost you sixteen years of your career, and a seasoned veteran such as yourself should know that he will exploit that to his advantage. After all, Samuel here wishes to be one of the very best in Zion and so he must do what is necessary to achieve that status.

Lopez still hasn’t moved, he hasn’t even blinked either.

Dr. Castiel Talbot: Good luck tonight, Mr. Peters. We shall see you out there… and we expect a good fight from you.

Talbot then proceeds to take his leave and Lopez follows him as we cut back to ringside.

MATCH #3: SAMUEL LOPEZ VS OLIVER PETERS



Lopez and Peters both circle the ring to start this match, seemingly ready to lock up! Peters slips around Lopez and gets him into a Waistlock! He goes to lift Lopez, but he ends up planting his feet on the turnbuckle, pushing off and rolling up Peters for the two! The two get up in unison, with Peters rushing underneath a Lariat attempt and hitting the ropes before taking Lopez down with a Jumping Clothesline! Peters gets Lopez back to his feet, attempting to send him into the ropes with an Irish Whip! Lopez reverses however, sending Peters into the ropes himself! Peters hooks his arms on the ropes, halting his momentum and leaving Lopez with no choice but to come to him! This feeds right into Peters’ plan, as he nails Lopez on the side of the head with a Back Elbow! Lopez turns around as he staggers, leaving an opening for Peters to hit a Bulldog! He pins for the two count!

Peters gets Lopez to his feet, looking to take him down with a Vertical Suplex! Lopez slips down from Peters’ shoulders however, before launching him across the ring with a German Suplex! Peters tries to get up, only for Lopez to send him flying again with a German Suplex! Peters tries getting up once again, this time using the corner turnbuckles to pull himself to his feet! But this only gives Lopez ideas, as he forces Peters into position before nailing him with a Bucklebomb! He pins, only getting the two!

Lopez slowly gets back to his feet, waiting for Peters to do the same before hitting the ropes and looking for the Silent Night! But Peters catches the Clothesline, twisting Lopez around and nailing him with a Kick to the midsection before nailing him with The Deal (Falcon Arrow)! He pins, with Lopez getting the shoulder up at two and half! However this isn’t what has Peters’ attention! Instead, it’s his son Ryan, who slowly makes his way down to ringside! Peters decides not to let this distract him, opting to hit the ropes for Neurotoxin v1 instead! Ryan quickly acts, pulling at Olly’s ankle and preventing him from going for Lopez! He quickly chastises his son for this, before turning around right into Silent Night (Clothesline From Hell) from Lopez!

From here, it’d be expected for Lopez to take further advantage to get the win! But instead, he leaves the ring, chasing Ryan off for his treachery! He makes it back to the ring, right into Neurotoxin v1 (Jumping Knee Strike) from Peters, who gets the pin for the three!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Oliver! Peters!

Winter Mae: His son tried to stop him, but Oliver Peters gets another one back in the win column tonight!

Trick Morrison: But get a look at Samuel Lopez! He does NOT look happy!

Peters celebrates outside of the ring, with Lopez not even giving him a look as he gets up! He instead fixates his gaze on Ryan Peters, who’s making his exit through the crowd!

WINNER: OLIVER PETERS
RESULT: PINFALL



The scene opens up somewhere in the depths of the arena. Walking into the shot along the white background is the man known as IKEDA. He pulls off his signature sunglasses and hangs them in n the collar of his shirt.

IKEDA : Time to play a bit of a spoiler, isn't it?

A sly smile slips up across his face.

IKEDA : I haven't exactly been in the company long enough to get into the whole brand warfare thing, which is just as well. I don't really care for their little petty grievances. But it seems that my opponent tonight has more pressing matters her horizon. She has WarGames to prepare for, right? And she's young and pretty unexperienced. I don't see her exactly being focused on our little match.

He shrugs his shoulders, the expression on his face a little stern.

IKEDA : Which suits me just fine. She thinks I'm going to be some little speed bump on her way, but the thing she doesn't realize is I'm no body's speed bump. I'm going to make her pay brutally for underestimating the likes of me. Twist her in ways she never imagined. Maybe she walks out of the match a bit battered and bruised. I very very much doubt she's going to enter the WarGames at 100%. Maybe they'll have to replace her with another one of those "Queens". I don't really care. I just know I'm going to relish in putting a bit of humility into the QoC, Lord knows they could use a little.

IKEDA glares at the camera for a moment before he walks off down the hall.



Abyssal darkness envelops the world for nearly twenty seconds. An audible SNAP booms throughout the air. A crackle and a flash ushers the full scene in. Snippets of Indonesian, Japanese, Mandarin fill the airwaves of a packed and relatively tiny gym. This area is counter-culture to our usual walkabouts. It’s devoid of vibrancy. Dust and rust cling to the various machines. Muted tones and thick sweat fuse to forge a heavy atmosphere.

QUEEN Sakamoto: This is where my astonishing odyssey first began.

A slow pan over to the left reveals QUEEN Sakamoto. She rests on a meager looking bench; its glory tarnished and long since passed. It appears as if she has left her more regal items of clothing at home, probably for good reason. An Adidas sports bra, shorts, and wrestling shoes round out her look.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Many years ago, a legion of green eyed demons conjured the notion that I was spoiled and didn’t earn anything that I gained within the sport of professional wrestling. Those rumors were spawned by jealousy; fortified by privilege and ignorance.

A shake of the head follows.

QUEEN Sakamoto: This is the same place that my grandmother trained. It is the very place that my mother honed her craft. Therefore, it also became the place where I cut my teeth as well. There were no silver spoons in sight; our meals here were consumed by grit and bare hands.

The camera shifts away from the Zion Wrestling Champion and keys in on two figures. A wipe of the boots and roll results in them entering into a practice ring. A Japanese woman in her mid 20s with short cropped hair begins to stretch her arms. Her opposition? Another woman of Japanese heritage. Some creases and wrinkles line the edges of her face. However, she is stunning despite her older age. Silky onyx hair runs the length of her back.

Beauty is not her most striking feature, though. No, no, no. It has to be the aura that encases her entire body. The atmosphere reeks of peril as the woman rests her hands on her hips. She watches the younger woman intently, like a panther ready to pounce at any moment.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Captivating, yes? Grandmother has always had that effect over people. Hate her or love her, people’s pupils were forever fixated on her. Even now, you can’t seem to help yourself can you?

A short guffaw escapes QUEEN’s lips. Meanwhile, the camera pans over so that both QUEEN and the wrestling ring are in the shoot.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Erzili-san? Your presence is most alluring as well.

A brief pause follows.

QUEEN Sakamoto: I am brave enough to admit that tossing that piece of rubbish at you was done in poor taste, especially given how pleasing and rousing our interactions had been up to that point. The heat of battle those strange things to a woman. Surely you understand that.

QUEEN holds her breath for a second.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Nevertheless, a part of me is glad that I resorted to such barbarous actions. I afford me the opportunity to bear witness to your fire; it gave me the chance to behold your passion!

Her words are sharply interrupted by the noticeable sound of flesh colliding with flesh. A collar and elbow tie-up is the culprit. Misaki Sakamoto’s dome is snatched and yanked into a headlock. That lasts a total of five seconds; a swift backdrop suplex shatters it. Another tie-up; another headlock. Misaki is firmly in control of this one.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Erzili-san? Our inevitable rendezvous in the ring began as an innocent desire. I yearned for it to happen. Nonetheless, it wasn’t meant to be, not at that time. You and I were occupied with different matters. But that desire of mine? It lingered; it never faded away. And now? It’s gone through a grand metamorphosis. To call it a mere aspiration would be to do it an injustice.

QUEEN’s tongue swipes across her bottom lip.

QUEEN Sakamoto: It’s more of a voracious craving now. The very thought of us clashing makes me salivate!

In the background, Misaki’s knuckles dig into her opponent's eyes. Her temporary impairment results in a savage forearm. The young woman collapses to mat, but Misaki is on her like a wild dog. Palm strikes morph into a nasty choke. Submission is the only course of action. The camera’s attention turns back to QUEEN as the younger woman rolls out of the ring and falls to the floor.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Once again, I have been tasked with bringing enlightenment to the nation. So sit still and unclog your ears.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Some people feel as if Mayhem has gone down a dire path with me at the helm. They want Erzili-san, not because they enjoy her work, but because they believe that things will go back to normal if she does. However, there’s a fallacy in that line of thought―

A pause follows.

QUEEN Sakamoto: Get it through your dense skulls. Even if Erzili-san manages to slay the vile demon that is QUEEN Sakamoto, nothing here will change. Nothing at all. Why? Because Mayhem has been forever altered.

A smirk creeps across her face.

QUEEN Sakamoto: I showed the world how to topple this company. All one needs is talent and conviction to do so. My blueprint is on file and record now. A piece of Zion’s status quo has been fragmented. And I take immense pride in that.

That smirk vanishes as quickly as it appeared. QUEEN goes to say something, but she halts at her grandmother’s call. Misaki usher QUEEN to have a go at her. Willing to oblige, QUEEN cracks her neck and enters into the ring. A brief staredown occurs before Misaki and QUEEN charge at each other. But the end result is lost to darkness as the camera fades out.



MATCH #4: IKEDA VS ZARA IVORY (NON-TITLE MATCH)



Eager for action, Ivory rushes into this match, running right into a Shoulder Block from IKEDA! He invites her to get back to her feet, this time taking her down with a Clothesline! He pulls the Gateway Champion to her feet, sending her into the ropes and nailing her with a Kitchen Sink! He goes for the pin, only getting the two! He immediately maintains control, locking Ivory into a Rear Chinlock of the pin!

She hits the ropes now, nailing him with a Suicide Dive before throwing him back into the ring and hitting a Diving Moonsault! She pins for the two!

Ivory waits for IKEDA to make it to his hands and knees, looking for a Curbstomp! But IKEDA gets out of the way, leaving Ivory open to a Backdrop Driver!

But Ivory once again ducks it, getting him up for In A Daze (Tiger Suplex)!

Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…The Zion Wrestling Gateway Champion…Zara! Ivory!

Winter Mae: A huge win for Zara Ivory going into War Games this Saturday!

Trick Morrison: If I were either other team in that match, I’d be shaking in my boots! Queens are bringing home the W for Mayhem!

Ivory celebrates with an arriving Kaya and Lilith Parker as we fade.

WINNER: ZARA IVORY
RESULT: PINFALL



Our journey takes us to the locker room of Rock Candy. We open up to the sight of Diamond Steele wearing something colourful. She has her hair wrapped up in space buns. She is eating a huge rainbow swirly lollipop. She smiles as she looks into the lens of the camera.

Diamond Steele: Look how far we have come?! It has definitely been quite the journey to get to this moment if I do say so myself. Look at us though. Razzles and I are an actual tag team. We are filled with CANDY! Diamonds! Rainbows! And.. And… And even UNICORNS! We are the ultimate supercalifragilisticexpialidocious tag team! It just doesn’t get any better than it does with us!

Diamond smiles as she nods her head. Rolling her hands through her purple space buns.

Diamond Steele: I will admit it definitely took some time to get to this point. We bloody kill one another for the entirety of a year. We have had a feud that started back on Fusion and had made its way over to Mayhem, and now after being there for one another. Hell even with me coming to her aid against my cousin and my own band. We are actually a tag team! That in itself is insanely cool and I am thankful that we could put the past behind us to be this awesome unit that will gel together. It won’t be long until we go out there and win the Tag Team Championships and I can’t wait to prove that to the entire world. I can’t wait to showcase that these two Brits can work well as a unit!

Diamond takes a deep breath as she speaks some more.

Diamond Steele: Now the question remains how is everybody going to gel between the both of us. I am sure that Razzles would be happily to share her feelings to all of you about that fact but she is somewhere in the arena still trying to find herself some Taylor Swift tickets. So while she focuses on trying to score us tickets to watch some awesomeness. I am here to let you know that this isn’t a one woman show. I know there are some who know that Razzles is a big star but I am one as well. I can hold my own and tonight I am going to step into the ring with Maki. I am going to show her that the win over Razzles last week was a fluke. Her sister may have gotten lucky but unlike Razzles I am actually used to some of the dirty tactics.

Diamond cracks a wicked grin as she looks right into that camera.

Diamond Steele: My partner and I are just like Rock Candy. She might be the sweet portion of this team but I am that rocky part. I am that part that will showcase that if you take too many sweets you will indeed catch a cavity. Hell you might break your teeth on biting into too much hard stuff, and I don’t mind introducing you to the reality that sometimes life could be a Bitch. I still have that side in me that can play a little dirty. That’s something that just doesn’t get lost overnight and if you wish to get out of hand I can play that game. Tonight we will gain momentum. I will showcase I am not a weak link. I will handle my business and this will be an appetizer of what’s to come. See you soon! Cheers mate

With that Diamond smiles as she walks away and we fade to elsewhere.



The scene begins with a dark room lit by a small incandescent lamp before the sound of footsteps approaching the camera seems to have been recorded, before Maki Megumi appears. The expressionless look in her eyes was the same as every time she appeared. Her feelings or thoughts are never known. Maki appears alone without Nami by her side. She looks at the camera before she starts to speak.

Maki Megumi: What? Someone said to me that Diamond Steele and Razzles Mars would beat me and Nami? That's the most absurd I've heard this year. Okay, they might be our challengers. We might as well give us a challenge. And in the end it's just that, there's no way they'll have a miracle holiday coming up. Here at WarGames once again Meguism proves why we're the number one team here. I know neither of them will waste our time. But on the other hand, they waste their time when they step into the ring with us. They are a new team that has just been formed, right? Well, I don't know what they've got to win and become our challengers, but at the end of the match between us at WarGames, it ends with Meguism victorious, it's going to be no different. We continue to make history as Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions, and regardless of the contenders, it will ultimately be Meguism. who stood up with victory And according to what I said tonight I will face Diamond Steele, I will show you how hell it will be for her to face me or even to face both of Megumi. I will defeat Diamond like my sister beat Razzles Mars last week and no one will ever wonder why at WarGames we are unquestionably the winners. Well, tonight is my match with Diamond, so let's talk about her.

Maki slightly furrowed her brows before she let out an evil, unpredictable smile. She stared at the camera with eyes that no one could say what she was thinking right now. It was full of horrors. If there was someone standing next to Maki right now she'd be making them laugh. Maki paused to think for a moment what she was about to say. Before she started to open her mouth again.

Maki Megumi: Diamond, congratulations on becoming my challenger. In the end, your struggles were successful, finding a reliable tag team match wasn't easy, was it? But it looks like you and the Razzles are doing better than I thought. But in the end, your ending would probably be no different from the other teams that challenged us. Don't blame me if you don't get what you want because you already know I'll do everything for the best of me and Nami, you already know I'll do anything to win no matter what. As disgusting as I will do it, I will do it and I say you will not blame me for that if your defeat starts tonight. Lost like Mars lost to my bird. Losing like your friend lost is what will happen to you tonight. You can't blame me for losing your friend last week. You can't blame me if you think it's unfair tonight to you Diamond because I think I've reminded you of all my past matches. I think you've seen it all. You already know what's going to happen and of course it's up to you how much you can deal with me. I'm keeping an eye on you, Diamond. I want to know what you can give me. I know I won't disappoint you but I'm just interested in what you have that I didn't expect. Don't disappoint me, Diamond.

Maki finished speaking and the picture cut to a louder laughter before everything fell silent.

And her opponent…representing The Meguism…from Okinawa, Japan…weighing in at 110 lbs…she is one-half of the Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions…”The Devil of Chaos”...Maki! Megumi!



Steele doesn’t waste any time here, immediately stepping up to Megumi off the bell! Megumi sees this, opting to back between the ropes in order to get the official involved! Just like clockwork, the official steps in, telling Steele to back off and give Megumi some room! This leaves an opening for Megumi to make the escape, slipping between the ropes and out to ringside! She proceeds to taunt her challenger to be from outside the ring, leading to Steele rolling out herself to chase Megumi around the ringside area! Megumi eventually makes it back into the ring, with Steele sliding in after her! This gives Megumi the high ground however, which she takes full advantage of by stomping on Steele immediately after she enters the ring! She follows it up, throwing Steele into the corner and proceeding to lay into her even more with stomps! The official steps in once again to back Megumi away!

Megumi rushes towards Steele in the corner, with Steele popping her over the top rope to reverse! Megumi quickly pivots, nailing Steele with an Enziguri to send her back! This doesn’t keep Steele away for long however, as she nails Megumi with a Shoulder Block through the ropes to send her to the ground at ringside! Steele hits the ropes, before leaping out of the ring and hitting Megumi with a Tope Con Hilo! She throws Megumi back into the ring, going for a pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by Megumi! Steele gets Megumi to her feet, looking to send her across the ring with an Irish Whip! Megumi reverses however, sending Steele into the ropes instead! She hunches over, waiting for Steele's return, but instead The Siren rolls over her back! She follows up, immediately tossing an oncoming Megumi to the mat with a Japanese Arm Drag before kipping up! She invites Megumi to get back to her feet, before going for a Lariat! But Megumi ducks underneath, instead hitting Steele with a German Suplex before kipping up herself! Steele crawls into the corner, using the ropes to lift herself up! Megumi takes advantage of this, going for a Monkey Flip! But Steele lands perfectly on her feet off of this! Megumi decides to snuff Steele out here, going for Deadly Strike, but Steele reverses with a Schoolboy Sweep instead!

ONE…!

TWO…!


THRE-

Kick out by Megumi, but Steele isn’t done with her! She quickly gets back to her feet before hitting Megumi with a Shining Wizard! Steele takes to the corner now, waiting for Megumi to get up before attempting the Floatover DDT! But Megumi reverses, taking Steele to the mat with a Northern Lights Suplex instead! She hits the ropes as Steele makes it to her feet, nailing her with the DEADLY STRIKE!! SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS!! Megumi with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Steele! Megumi brings down her kneepad, looking to inflict some extra damage as she hits the ropes for the Tsunami! But Steele rolls out of the way of the Last Shot, instead catching Megumi with the FLOATOVER DDT!! Steele tries to crawl over to make the pin, only to be stopped as Nami Megumi pulls her sister out of the ring from under the bottom rope! The referee reprimands Nami for her interference in this match, until Razzles Mars appears to confront her! The two get into a battle of fisticuffs now, with the official yelling for them to stop it, ejecting them from ringside! Before Nami takes off, she passes Maki something! Maki turns away from the action, putting something to her face before jumping back into the ring! Nami returns one more time to get back into the ring, despite the referee’s orders! This causes yet another distraction to the official, with Maki looking to take advantage by spitting out a cloud of green mist at Steele! This backfires on her however, with Steele familiar enough with this trickery to nip it in the bud! Right before Maki spits out the mist, Steele uses both her hands to cover Maki’s mouth, causing the mist to rebound directly back into her throat! Maki is left gagging as Steele hits the second rope, nailing her with a SPRINGBOARD DIAMOND CUTTER!! Pin by Steele!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Diamond! Steele!

Winter Mae: Maki Megumi tried to bend the rules to win this match, but she wasn't ready when it came to running games past the resident rulebreaker of Mayhem!

Trick Morrison: That’s great and all, but it doesn’t matter what Rock Candy does in a singles setting if they can’t score the tag victory on Saturday!

Diamond Steele celebrates her win, being joined shortly thereafter by Razzles Mars! The two share and embrace, even taking time to laugh together over the mist on Steele’s hand! This is short lived however, with Nami Megumi rushing into the ring and taking Steele down from behind! Maki is quick to follow her lead, nailing Mars from behind with her tag team championship belt! The two raise their titles high as we go off the air.

WINNER: DIAMOND STEELE
RESULT: PINFALL
