As the opening video closes, the lights to the Accor Arena go out, the stage illuminating to the beat of the second half of the second verse!
We looked at the price tag, and it's one we can't afford
We were taught that progression means accumulating more…
Just then, the arena bursts to life, with lights spanning the entire arena!
As the opening video ends, the lights in the Accor Arena dim and the opening to “Through The Never” by Metallica begins to play through the PA system as the titantron comes to life displaying three simple words that read:
ENTER THE VOID
After a few moments, Kara “Killer” Carbajal, Miguel Ortiz and Zachary Porter all walk out onto the stage all dressed to the nines in black suits and they are met with a chorus of boos as they look out and around at the sold out crowd. The trio then begin to make their way down the ramp with smirks plastered across their faces.
Eddie Red Apples: Well ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a very special Thursday edition of Fusion, mere days before our War Games Pay-Per-View event… and it looks like we are kicking things off tonight with this very unlikely trio.
Amber Westgate: Last week Zachary Porter shocked the very foundation of Fusion when he returned as Killer Instinct’s surprise partner to take on the World Tag Team Champions, Thotline Miami and House of Wolves member, Danae… something we definitely weren’t expecting.
Once Carbajal, Ortiz and Porter reach the bottom of the ramp, they make their way over to the steel steps and ascend them one by one before climbing through the ropes. Each of them call for a microphone and are handed one before they stand in a line side by side with Carbajal in the center as “Through The Never” fades out.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: This Saturday… Miguel and I… Killer Instinct… are going to step into this ring… and destroy both Thotline Miami and the House of Wolves and become your NEW World Tag Team Champions!
Ortiz laughs and pats KC on the shoulder as he nods while Porter smirks and also nods.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: But that is then… this is the now… and tonight? It’s about this man right here…
Carbajal points to Porter and the fans boo him heavily, however that just causes the former World Heavyweight Champion to grin widely.
Kara "Killer" Carbajal: You can boo him all you want! The fact is… after everything he did for you?! After everything he sacrificed for you?! After he took some much needed time away from this place… you all forgot about him! You all abandoned him and moved on to the fakes and pretenders that plague this roster! But Miguel and I?! We didn’t forget about him!
Ortiz nodded in agreement as he listened to Carbajal. He glanced over at Porter, giving the other man a clap on the back before raising his own microphone.
Miguel Ortiz: The bottom line is every single one of you ended up being so quick to turn to the new "hot thing". It didn't matter to you who had done what to elevate this company simply because they weren't in the limelight anymore. It's always been said that the fans of this industry are fickle, but it's sickening to actually watch happen.
Ortiz paused and rubbed his chin for a second, shaking his head after the fact before pointing to Porter.
Miguel Ortiz: This man changed the landscape of Fusion. Hell, of Zion in general! But that apparently meant nothing to you snakes, isn't that right? As long as you're getting your enjoyment of watching your little fucking favorites have their moments then that's all you really give a damn about. But here's a little newsflash for you… the time of your 'favorites', the time of all of those pretenders? It's over.
Zachary embraces the new found boos from the crowd with a hint of stoicism. He then turns his attention to Eddie Red Apples.
Zachary Porter: What was it you said a week ago..? Oh... right. You wondered how I could turn my back on the Zion fans?
The scene shifts to Apples for a moment. Eddie nods his head. The shot transitions from him back to Zachary Porter who rolls his eyes.
Zachary Porter: How quaint. Not surprising. I would say I expected more from you but all people who sit in that seat are ultimately a tool for whatever propaganda the company wants to sell. Of course, the narrative is going to be how I turned my back on the fans. Not once did you say the fans turned their back on me.
The commentator shakes his head.
Zachary Porter: Allow me to open your eyes, Eddie. The truth shall set you free, after all. Why is Zion Wrestling on top of the wrestling world today? Scandal. One of my own creations. A year ago me, Kai and Ashlynn invaded NFW for an assortment of reasons. The main one being I slept with another man's wife. Ruined his marriage. Did I feel guilty knowing Rayola’s husband was overseas dealing with God knows what as I was fucking his wife night in and night out? Truthfully. No.
This causes the fans to boo again.
Zachary Porter: Still don’t to be perfectly honest. Amazing when you think about it. You latched onto an adulterer. A man who was responsible for invading a Memorial Tournament to honor one of their own. All because NFW said some unflattering things about us. The Zion Wrestling fans were so desperate for a hero. Not my fault they latched on to a man who ruined a marriage. Hey… I didn’t ask for the fans to choose me. The questionable characters in the back like Trinity, Kasey Kash, Crystal Caldwell, Angel Kash, the list goes on and on and on of people who tried to use me for clout. They were the bigger scumbags right? Yay Zach, beat the undesirables. We’ll overlook all your sins. Like I said, I never asked for these people to embrace me as their own. And I wouldn’t. Knowing who they support Eddie makes my skin crawl.
Zach scoffs. He takes a moment to allow his words to sink in. Then he shifts his focus from Eddie to the fans in the arena.
Zachary Porter: Who should I start with? Right... the self professed G.O.A.T herself. Serena is talented don’t get me wrong. Have you idiots forgotten when she lost the World Championship she took her ball and went home? Not like she took a small break like I did. I never left. I didn’t sign with another company. I didn’t embrace outside commitments. Days before we were going to war with NFW, she made it clear she wanted no part of Zion anymore. The moment she realized her value was next to zero outside these halls, she ran back to us like a lost puppy. If you ask me, I don’t buy that she is having back issues. If her condition was truly that serious, why step into War Games? Why put out a list of opponents you want to face before you retire? If your back is that bad, you wouldn’t risk becoming a cripple. You go ahead and support your self professed G.O.A.T. And speaking of people with self aggrandized nicknames... The Zenith, Daria Dorsey.
Zachary bursts out laughing as the fans shower him with more boos.
Zachary Porter: Daria is who she needs to be at any given moment. This woman has taken repeated pot shots at me over time. Daria is the same woman who after I won the Destiny Battle Royal said I would have an easier time challenging the Zion Wrestling Champion. Claims to respect me but leading into Destiny, she had the nerve to call me a face painted freak. The last time we stood in this ring together, she used the excuse of their being a third person in the ring at Destiny as the reason she didn’t leave as champion. Isn’t this the same woman who won an Elimination Chamber match? Daria is the fakeist human being alive. Nonstop excuses for whatever failure she has.
Zach shrugs his shoulders.
Zachary Porter: The last false hero we have is Jordan Majors. Why isn’t she standing by the side of her wife at War Games? Makes you wonder. I was wrong about Jordan. I thought if she beat me for the World Championship she would continue to be an inspiration, a small part of me thought she would take my place... heh... what happened after she was cashed in on? Complete 180 in attitude. Ran to the bosom of the Queens of Chaos. Sacrificed everything she stood for to become just another talking head of Jessi’s grand vision. Some hero right? These are the frauds you put your money on.
The booing grows louder, but Porter ignores it.
Zachary Porter: Come to think of it, the only true constant in Zion Wrestling has been me. I put this company on the map. I am the reason we have world wide exposure. I am the reason Fusion arena’s all across the country were pretty much standing room only. I am the only World Champion that wore the championship with honor, prestige and a true fighting spirit without allowing the depths of ego to drag me down. I didn’t call myself the G.O.A.T or a Zenith, I carried you fans along for the ride. Did I even get a thank you for it? No. I didn’t. You fans don’t deserve me. Hell. This company doesn’t deserve to have me back. If I didn’t speak to Kara and Miguel, I likely would have walked into Steven Brody’s office and said Mr. Brody, where do I sign?
Zach smirks knowing him saying he would have signed with NFW would be a gut punch to the fans who already feel betrayed by him.
Zachary Porter: The only reason I didn’t sign with NFW is because of KC and Miguel. They appreciate me. They see the landscape the same way that I do. Could I become World Champion again? Sure. As I said before, I don’t need a championship to validate my existence. Opening the eyes of the masses has always been more important. I intend to continue my good work. As an agent of chaos this time. This company will enter the void. Nothing any of you in the back can do about it.
Porter then laughs and so do Carbajal and Ortiz before they all drop their microphones as “Through The Never” blasts out of the PA system and the trio take their leave from the ring as we cut elsewhere.

We're at the parking lot of tonight's show at the Accor Arena in Paris, France. We see a section of motorcycles parked, as suddenly the limo would park in front of them, as we see Hayumi Yamamoto getting out of the vehicle with her third of the Trios titles, scoffing at them.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"For the City of Love, the fact that these eyesores are permitted here should have that name rebuked."
She said, with Lien and Akira both coming out as well, with the door closing behind them.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"Paris, France. You've seen your terrors, and you've seen some hideous things. But, tonight will be one thing you may wish to hide the young from witnessing. Tonight, Hebi no Rengo will make Zion, and the world recognize true terror in trios tag team action. Tonight will be a lesson against those who have forced these belts to wallow in mediocrity for so long, and the sins of their previous holders will come back to haunt those that brought them such shame. Tonight's victims, the Shieldmaiden offset group, and the second ever Zion trios champions, Los Olvidadas."
She said gesturing back to the Shieldmaiden's ride of choice. Liên looks at the choice of transport in apparent disgust.
Lien Kamiya
"It's bad enough they've tainted these titles by putting their grubby, greasy hands on them in the past. We won't let them hold them a second time. This Trios division has evolved without them and we'll prove that tonight by utterly destroying them.
KAMIKAZE
"Leave them as shrinking dots in our rear view mirror…"
Akira adds in a soft-spoken tone, playing with one of the bike's mirrors. Hayumi would readjust the belt on her shoulder, as she continued to speak.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"Given that they are a bunch of knuckle-dragging biker bimbos, perhaps violence is all they understand. So, we will translate the best way we know how. In that ring, my sisters and I will make an example of you three. Our dawn of violence begins with the three of you broken before everyone watching, as you lay helpless to the world changing around you."
Lien Kamiya
"The cracks in your shields are already starting to show and when they break, so will you."
Hayumi Yamamoto
"Tonight, Los Olvidadas, will be a monumental disaster for you."
Hayumi said, as she and Lien would leave the scene while Akira was in the background, daydreaming a bit while looking into the rear view mirror, before she leaves the scene as well.
MATCH #1: LAS OLVIDADAS VS HEBI NO RENGO © (TRIOS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH)
This match is a very fast paced, back and forth affair, with Gabi “Taza” Carbajal being an early standout! She keeps up with HNR frontwoman Hayumi Yamamoto, much to her annoyance and worry! Things begin to pick up when Carmen “Turbo” Leija and Akira Fujimoto go at it off a double hot tag! The two go back and forth in a battle of speed and striking ability with Turbo getting the upper hand with a Bicycle Kick! Fujimoto is sent out of the ring, with Taza and Sangre sending Lien Kamiya and Hayumi Yamamoto over the top rope when they try to intervene! They triple team the Trios Champions, boosting Turbo over the top rope for a Tope Con Hilo!
Turbo looks for the finish with a Corner Hip Attack, but Fujimoto rolls out of the way before tagging in Lien Kamiya! She immediately takes to finishing off Turbo, nailing her with her Arm Wringer/Hip Toss combo! Pin by Kamiya gets a close count before being broken up by Sangre! Turbo eventually reaches Sangre for the tag, with The Shieldmaiden immediately connecting with Cabacera (Headbutt) to Kamiya! She sets up Kamiya, getting her into La Sangria (Haas of Pain)! However, Fujimoto runs a distraction on the referee, leaving an opening for Hayumi Yamamoto to connect with a shot with her signature Bokken to Sangre! Kamiya rolls her up for the three count!
WINNERS: HEBI NO RENGO (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: PINFALL
MATCH #2: ZACHARY PORTER VS JAY BRONI
This match is a very quick affair, with Jay Broni throwing everything at the former World Champion in the corner right off the bell! This hardly even phases Porter, who immediately sends him collapsing to the mat with a single, open-palmed slap to the face! Porter deadlifts the poor jobber off the mat, tossing him to the mat with a German Suplex! He looks down at his prey, growing more aggressive by the minute as he snaps and connects with two more German Suplexes! He finally decides to provide the killing blow with the Porter’s House (Sit Out Facebuster), followed closely by Paradise Lost (Diving Double Foot Stomp)! Pin by Porter, getting three!
WINNER: ZACHARY PORTER
RESULT: PINFALL
LEGION VS TAJNIA MUSTAFI
Legion and Mustafi have a methodical affair here, with the Intellectual Athlete managing to match holds with the former World Champion! Mustafi Irish Whips Legion into the ropes, but whatever she has planned is quickly thrown out the window as Legion uses the momentum to boost her up for slam instead! From here, Legion takes full control, with the lionshare of the match dissolving down into The Queen outright overpowering Mustafi! The Scholarly Submissionist gains a few moments of respite in the onslaught, being cut off at every turn by Legion’s overwhelming offense! Eventually Mustafi gets back into this fully, with a caught Starlight Booster leaving her the opening to twist Legion into an Ankle Lock! Although she escapes, Mustafi still manages to stay on Legion, employing a variety of maneuvers in an effort to weaken the legs!
Mustafi goes in for the kill, looking for her signature Curb Stomp! But Legion pops up and drills her with a Starlight Booster (Savate Kick) instead! Her legs buckle right off the move, leaving her a wide gap between the execution of the move and the pin! This results in Mustafi kicking out at a snug two and a half! Legion gets to her feet, looking to Shattered Realms! But Mustafi dodges it, sending Legion careening into the official and knocking them out! Mustafi doesn’t pay it any mind, taking advantage with the Dragon’s Bite (Skull Kick)! Pin by Mustafi, but the official is still out! She attempts to wake them up, before turning around in a Bicycle Kick from Christina Olson! Mustafi is laid out, with Olson taking to the top rope and hitting the Banshee’s Cry (Phoenix Splash)! Legion crawls over for the pin just as the official is revived, getting the three count and an important win ahead of her match on Saturday!
WINNER: LEGION
RESULT: PINFALL
Haruka Fukuhara: “Look at this! You see this, Olivia?”
The usually calm voice of Zion’s World Heavyweight Champion yells to one of her stablemates as the view comes into focus within Avalanche’s locker room. We see Fukuhara yelling to, not at, Olivia Nightshade, as her sister Ravyn and their stablemate Hana Kaneko look on. Fukuhara holds up her phone to show the former Tag Team champion some tweets that Haruka was involved in this past week.
Haruka Fukuhara: “This complete lack of respect reflects on you three, too! Because if these idiots don’t take the leader seriously, they won’t take the rest of the group seriously! So what I want you to do, Olivia? You sexy powerhouse, you? I want you to go out there and beat Serena so bad that she can’t do anything but respect us! Make sure she knows to respect not just you or me, but all of us! ALL OF US!”
The Ice Emperor emphatically pats Olivia on the shoulder, nodding to her with her eyebrows raised as Olivia continues to look ahead.
Haruka Fukuhara: “Got it?!”
Just as Fukuhara asks her final question, Meliana Rodrigo seemingly spawns in, angering the group. Ravyn and Hana immediately step up to Rodrigo, who is taken aback for a moment.
Ravyn Nightshade: “You have a death wish, little girl?!”
Rodrigo dodges away from the ladies and walks up to the leader of the stable and starts to ask.
Meliana Rodrigo: “I don’t mean to intrude but Haruka, do you have a–”
Haruka Fukuhara: “No, I don’t. But it’s not like you idiots take something like that at face value. Just like Serena and her friends want to take liberties in not taking us seriously. Even though prior history shows why they all should, in fact, actually take us seriously. Tonight, us four are gonna make that known, and to assure that nothing stupid happens otherwise, we’re all accompanying Olivia out this door, to that ring.”
The former Viral Champion, Hana Kaneko, gets to her feet and pipes up as well.
Hana Kaneko: “You can best believe we got something for them tonight, just as much as we will have something for them at WarGames because Avalanche WILL NOT BE ignored OR den--”
Just then Olivia pounds her fist against her hand and roars, capturing, and startling the attention of all the ladies. Even the champion.
Olivia Nightshade: “ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT! I WRECK THIS BITCH TONIGHT!”
Olivia psyches herself up and then storms out of the locker room, with Haruka looking on with a bit of a smirk and Ravyn & Hana nodding their heads in agreement as they follow Olivia out, leaving the World Heavyweight Champion with a slightly confused Rodrigo.
Haruka Fukuhara: “This interview’s over. And after tonight… so will be the riot.”
Haruka leaves the locker room as well. Rodrigo remains in the room, looking on to collect her thoughts as the scene fades to black.

MAIN EVENT: SERENA RIOT VS OLIVIA NIGHTSHADE
Riot enters last as a waiting Olivia Nightshade tells her to bring it on from inside the ring! Riot doesn’t take this provocation lightly, rushing into the ring and trading blows with Nightshade to start this match! Nightshade eventually gets the better of the veteran Riot, using her nightmarish strength to maintain the advantage! Riot gains a few moments to breathe, with a few clubbing blows fending Nightshade off for a time! But Nightshade seems to find a way to regain control each time, taking Riot to the mat and cinching in a snug Waistlock in an effort to restrain the diaphragm and cut off her air supply! This seems to work, with the little amount of offense Riot is able to get in being a lot more tired and sluggish! Nightshade eventually gets her down, looking for a rare top rope Moonsault to the G.O.A.T.! But Riot moves out of the way, leaving Nightshade laid out and gaining some breathing room to get back into this.
Riot gets back to her feet, letting Nightshade have it with a multitude of strikes as she attempts to make it to a vertical base as well! Nightshade pushes Riot back into the corner, getting an immediate response in the form of a Running Dropkick from Riot! She waits for Nightshade to make it to her feet before hitting Wicked Ways (Curb Stomp)! She covers for a two and half, with Haruka Fukuhara being at ringside to help break up the pin by putting Nightshade’s foot on the rope! Riot chases Fukuhara around the ringside area in fury, as Nightshade attempts to leave the ring to go after her! The official doesn’t let Nightshade leave the ring, pushing her back and keeping her away! Noticing the distraction, Fukuhara acts quickly stopping mid-chase and clattering Riot with the belt! She throws her back into the ring, with Nightshade waiting as Riot staggers up so she can hit Taste That Leather B*tch (Brogue Kick)! Pin for three count for Nightshade, giving Avalanche the advantage in War Games!
After the match, BFG and ARIA all rush down to the ring, with Avalanche scurrying off with their victory! The three comfort Riot was a fade to black, ending the show!
WINNER: OLIVIA NIGHTSHADE
