Zion Wrestling Presents: Friday Night Fusion Episode 69!!

[Kai Morgan]

As the opening video closes, the lights to the Fertitta Center 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 we pan over a raving crowd packing the stands! We go to the commentary booth where Eddie Red Apples and Amber Westgate are standing by!

Eddie Red Apples: With a big Madness Rumble on the way, it only made sense for us to stop by a state that’s even bigger! From Houston, Texas, welcome…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Eddie Red Apples, joined as always by Amber Westgate!

Amber Westgate: We’re in for a huge night tonight, so huge we can’t even do a full intro here! We have no time to waste as we get on with our opening contest!

OPENING CONTEST: DARIA DORSEY VS TAYLOR GIBSON

Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Alex Lawson: Introducing first…representing Thotline Miami…from Miami, Florida…weighing in at 110 lbs…she is one-half of the Zion Wrestling World Tag Team Champions…”Vaporwave”...Taylor! Gibson!

And her opponent…from Rochester, New York…weighing in at 152 lbs…she is the Zenith of Zion…Daria! Dorsey!



The opening bell sounded, as Daria has a confident look on her face while looking across at Taylor. She locked up with the tag champion after circling the ring, and used her strength advantage to force her to the corner, until the referee would have them break things up. Daria would talk some trash at Taylor, before grabbing her again, looking to ground her. The tag champ can feel that she's not going to be able to stop the takedown and moves backwards as much as she can before she's brought to the mat, making sure to land as near to the ropes as possible. Taylor used the ropes to avoid being caught in a submission attempt, as Daria is forced to back away. Gibson gets to her feet again, as Daria gets her to the corner again, this time patting the top of her head with overconfidence.

Taylor scowls at Daria and grabs hold of the wrist on the arm that was disrespectfully tapping on her head. She bounces onto the second rope and springboards off with an arm drag, which gets a nice reaction from the crowd. Daria was a little dizzy as she was getting to her feet, which Taylor would capitalize by going for a low running dropkick and a quick cover attempt.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Daria kicked out, as she would go to make separation from Taylor, recuperating as she did so. The girl from Miami doesn't want to give the former world champ a chance to rest, as she rushes at her looking for a clothesline. Daria is able to react on time, ducking underneath and smashing Taylor with a hard forearm as she turns back around. As Gibson would stagger, Daria pulled her in for a T-Bone suplex, as she tossed Taylor overhead, before she kips up and taunted to the crowd. She would stalk Taylor when she gets up, and clutched her with an inverted headlock. She goes to lift her up for the Firebird Driver, but, Taylor kicked her legs to turn the move over and moves forward to roll Daria over with a snapmare takeover. Daria was seated up, as she looked back at Taylor, who was also seated, as she tapped her temple.

Taylor looks a little rattled, knowing she very nearly lost the match in the opening minutes of the contest. In a fluid motion, she leans back onto her back and kips up, not showing any intimidation in the face of a fearfully skilled opponent. She steps forward, offering a collar and elbow tie-up. Daria would engage again, though, she ducked down to get Taylor into a hammerlock, as she lifted her up for a back suplex. However, Taylor expected this, and rolled off her back shoulder to land on her feet, and pushed Daria to the ropes. She runs at Daria, hitting a high drop kick to knock her over the ropes to the outside. She steps through the ropes onto the apron, moving to the nearest corner post. Taylor points her fingers at Daria and clicks them like guns, before running along the apron and hitting a cannonball senton off of it as Daria stands up.

Taylor had momentum on her side, as she gets Daria back in the ring and goes to the apron to set up a springboard Lariat, which she knocked Daria down with it. She goes to clutch her with the Vaporwave DDT, clutching both of her arms. However, Daria would free herself and transitioned the butterfly hold back onto Taylor, before lifting her up and dropping her with a backbreaker. She would wag her finger down at Taylor, as Daria mouthed to her "Not in my house!", before going to ground her with an armbar. Taylor spins onto her back and uses her shorter legs to her advantage, tucking in her right leg and using it to push Daria off of her. She does a backwards somersault to get back on her feet, backing up to the ropes and bouncing off for a shining wizard which connects.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Daria kicks out of the subsequent pinfall attempt, as she would get a bit annoyed by Taylor's momentum. Taylor would keep her foot on the gaspedal, as she would go to the top rope and was looking for another flying move. Daria gets up to her feet, as Taylor leapt off for a diving cross body, but, Daria caught her and used her momentum against her. She plants Taylor with the Truckstop, a big swinging sidewalk slam, as she hooked both legs to go for a pin.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Thr-no! A very narrow kickout by Taylor, as her chest rises and falls while recovering from the big move. Daria would disagree with the ref, trying to make a case that she scored a three count. While she's pleading her case, Taylor rolls her up, pinning her shoulders to the mat and desperately trying to keep her shoulders down.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Daria kicks out and scrambles to her feet as quick as she can. Taylor gets up too, but eats a boot tote face for her troubles. Annoyed by Taylor, Daria would turn her over and clutched her leg before going for an STF to keep her grounded and cranked her head back to work on her neck and leg. Taylor would crawl to the ropes, as she gets close, but Daria would club her in the back of the head, before dragging her back and re-applying the hold. Taylor struggles in the hold, her hand hovering over the mat as it looks like she might tap. The Miami native grits her teeth, starts to rock from side to side and rolls over, putting all her momentum into it and managing to get close enough to grab the bottom rope.

With Taylor now freed, Daria was forced to let go of the hold. She would grab Taylor, and gives her a knee to the midsection to stun her. She turned her around to attempt the Firebird Driver again, but, Taylor used her momentum to go behind Daria and dropped her on the back of her head and tucked her legs back for a pin.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Thre-no! Daria would kick out, as narrowly as possible, shocked that she was almost defeated that way. She isn't given a moment to rest though, as Taylor hits her with a snapmare and sets her up in a seated position. The tag team champ then runs the ropes behind her, doing a powerslide on her knees and smacking Daria in the back of the neck with a nasty forearm. The thud echoes loudly before Taylor hooks both of Daria's legs with a pin.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Daria hurled her arm up out of reaction, as she was still in this fight. Taylor would start to pick Daria up, looking for the Vaporwave DDT again, but Daria would reach to get leverage and runs her into the corner post with a tackle to break her grip. She would follow up with a bridging Northern Lights Suplex, and a cover!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Taylor kicks out defiantly. She rolls a short distance away and slowly works her way up onto her knees and then her feet, clenching a first tightly. Daria is visibly shocked at the young woman's tenacity as she stands and throws a stiff shot at her opponent. Taylor retaliates with one of her own and suddenly they're trading blows, with the crowd "ooh"ing after every one. Daria's past as a former boxer has it's advantage, as she wears Taylor down. She would get her cornered and give her some body blows, before looking to set Taylor up with a superplex, however, Gibson was blocking. The blonde smacks her head into Daria's loudly, causing the former champion to fall down to the mat. Taylor groans and rubs the point of impact on her head, before straightening up and standing on the top turnbuckle. She takes a second to line Daria up before she leaps off, connecting with a crisp Shooting Star Press and hooking the right leg.

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!



Daria moved her shoulder to kick out, though it was seconds too late, with the official putting her hand up. Daria looked up at her with shock and disappointment, while she gets to one knee while Taylor celebrated.

Alex Lawson: Here is your winner, Taylor Gibson!

Eddie Red Apples: You could call this a big upset, Amber!

Amber Westgate: No way, Taylor Gibson is half the tag champions for a reason, and tonight she proved she can hang on her own as well!

Taylor looks over at Daria, before stepping towards her. She smiles and holds out her hand, offering a handshake in a show of good sportsmanship. She looked at her briefly, as Daria was never a good loser. She gets to her feet, and was hesitant in doing so, but, takes her hand and shakes briefly.

Eddie Red Apples: Good to see sportsmanship between the two.

Amber Westgate: We've got plenty of action ahead, including our main event between Avalanche and the Zion World Heavyweight Champion, ARIA, Nao Saegusa, and Ayu Megumi!

WINNER: TAYLOR GIBSON
RESULT: PINFALL (SHOOTING STAR PRESS)



We open on Alexis Lemon sitting on the couch in her home in Chicago. Somewhere in the house, the giggles of her fiance, Risa as well as barks from their dog, Peanut can be heard. Laying on the back of the couch sits the black cat, Bagel. In the witch’s lap, chewing on her bracelet is her pet raccoon Rocket. All of this commotion doesn’t bother Lexi, however. Her focus remains fixed on something in front of her. The camera turns to follow her gaze, revealing what she’s been looking at. Next to the entertainment center sits a small trophy case housing two championship belts, one of the BWF Trios championship belts and the Zion Youtube championship. Sitting on top of the case is the Zion Internet championship. When the shot scans back to Lemon, she has a small smirk on her face.

Alexis Lemon: I’m not gonna lie, I saw myself doing a hell of a lot more in 2022. I was going to make my debut in January, become a champion by… I’unno, March? Win a world title sometime soon after that, live up to all the hype people were giving me early on.

She lets out a sigh.

Alexis Lemon: That didn’t happen, did it? I went through most of the year before I even sniffed a title shot. I had my home promotion close when I was fuckin’ fingertips away from a shot at the world fuckin’ title.

She holds a hand up to her mouth as if she’s telling a secret with a wink.

Alexis Lemon: Though I will gladly take half of Suplex Island as a consolation.

She giggles, the shortest kind. Barely a breath.

Alexis Lemon: But it didn’t work out that way, did it? Nah, instead the first place I sign with vanishes like some magician when his girlfriend says she’s pregnant. I go on a losing streak that would make the Cleveland Browns cringe.

She leans in to whisper another secret.

Alexis Lemon: Shoutout to my brother Danny for that one.

She leans back against the couch and looks up at the ceiling. This prompts Rocket to climb up her stomach and chest to lick her face to comfort her..

Just kidding. She instead starts chewing on Lexi’s Friday the 13th hockey mask pendant. Regardless, Alex reacts the same no matter what she’s doing. She giggles and looks down to kiss the bandit cat’s head and give her scratches and pets.

Alexis Lemon: Good point, Rockie. I guess it wasn’t all bad, huh?

She continues to pet the trash panda, who couldn’t care less about anything other than the witch’s necklace right now.

Alexis Lemon: I mean, I did win a fuckin’ island. Er… half of one. But still! I owned a pretty big piece of land at age 18! How many people can say that? I made a bunch of money, I was allowed to join the Queens of Chaos, the biggest thing in wrestling right now, period. I met my first significant other ever thanks in part to wrestling, I got engaged on my 19th birthday! That’s pretty fuckin’ wicked. I couldn’t ask for a better fiance. Together we got a house, a dog and a little robber and-

Suddenly the cat behind Lexi’s head starts to swat at Rocket, who’s paws get a little too close for his comfort.

Alexis Lemon: Relax, dude, I’m getting to you!

Lexi pulls the raccoon off of her and sets her in her lap, holding up her wrist to prompt Rocket to chew on that instead.

Alexis Lemon: I discovered I’m a witch! Bought a spellbook as a cool little souvenir from a trip to Europe. Was messing with it one night and voila! I got the magic in me!

To accentuate her point, she wiggles her fingers to make purple sparks fly out.

Alexis Lemon: And, focusing only on what’s important, I somehow manage to turn my toaster into this little dude!

She reaches back to scratch Bagel’s head, who purrs softly in response.

Alexis Lemon: Now he just steals our bread and lets us pet him sometimes. He’s a chill dude.

She laughs, but it slowly trails off into a sigh.

Alexis Lemon: So you gotta take the bad with the good, I guess. And hey! My career eventually picked up! Won my first title with the aforementioned Queens, then picked up my first singles title, which I became the last ever champion of and subsequently the first holder of it’s replacement. Sure, I lost it but I got it back so it's fine. I guess I say all that to say… I’m not going to complain about all the bad anymore. I’m going to focus on the good. I’m a champion, I have all of this cool stuff and most importantly, I got people who love and support me. And that’s all I need to keep going no matter how bad things get.

She holds up her thumb and pinky while sticking her tongue out, showing off her tongue piercing.

Alexis Lemon: But that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop pushing myself. Of course not. I’m happy to be Internet champ, I’m going to defend that title until I can’t anymore. But I’m going to keep pushing. Harder and harder until I’m the woman on Fusion as well as this company as a whole. So, whoever wants to step to me, whoever wants to take my Internet title from me, Come at me. Because I’m taking 2023 as my own. And everything I accomplished last year will be just a crumb of what I plan on doing this year. And this time… This time I’m going to make all my goals a reality. Whether anyone wants me to or not.

She smirks, wiggling her fingers as a wave, causing more sparks to fly out.

Alexis Lemon: I’ll be waiting, preparing. But until someone steps up, kindly get the fuck out of my house.

With a giggle and a wink, the scene slowly fades to black…



MATCH #2: DINAH WOLFE VS JAY BRONI



Wolfe makes very quick work of Jay Broni, sending him straight to the mat with a Bicycle Kick off the bell! She follows up, getting him to his feet before throwing him shoulder first into the ringpost! Broni falls out of the ring through the ropes with Wolfe having to leave the ring to go after him! This leaves an opening for Broni to ambush the third-generation athlete, going for a set of punches to her as she’s occupied with leaving the ring! These punches land about as effectively as you'd think they would for a man who weighs no more for a blade of grass, with Wolfe easily countering by throwing him into the steel steps! She throws him back into the ring, before scaling to the top turnbuckle from the apron and waiting for Broni to regain a stance! She dives off for Flight Of The Mór-Ríoghain (Diving Axe Kick), quickly pinning for the win!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Dinah! Wolfe!

Eddie Red Apples: What a debut for the Fusion Brand’s newest acquisition!

Amber Westgate: That finisher nearly took Jay Broni’s head clean off! This woman is absolutely deadly between the ropes!

Wolfe celebrates her victory as we fade!

WINNER: DINAH WOLFE
RESULT: PINFALL (FLIGHT OF THE MÓR-RÍOGHAIN)



We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Crystal Caldwell. She cracks a grin as she is wearing three championships. She has the ECWF World Women’s Championship over a shoulder, her SCW Roulette Championship around her waist and of course she is holding the Splat Multiverse Championship over the other shoulder. A wide grin escapes her lips as she begins to speak.

Crystal: Long behold! Zion your girl is here!!!! It feels amazing to be right here in Houston Texas! It wasn’t that long ago when I stepped into a Zion ring on December 3rd and I represented this company and won the Splat Championship. It meant a lot to put my all into representing this Detroit based company, and who better than a woman who bleeds and breathes for the Motor City. I was able to get past Damon and I have personally showed that Zion is the premiere company in all of wrestling.

The crowd roars loudly with Zion chants over and over.

ZION!
ZION!
ZION!

Crystal: You damn right it’s a great company and it doesn’t get any better than that. Now I am happy to represent this company and I would say that the past few months have been nothing short of special. I have taken title after title and I truly am CHAMP CHAMP CRYSTAL CALDWELL! I didn’t come here to brag or boast because it won’t be all that long until I am going to be stepping foot into that ring and competing for the right to be in the Madness Rumble. No tonight is not about me talking up the triple threat but instead I wanted to talk about a woman who annoys the living shit out of me. Morgana gets on my damn nerves. Every single day all you keep hearing is longest reigning this and longest reigning that. I get it you have a decent reign and that is impressive but I know for a fact that I am better than her and I have a serious bone to pick with her!

Crystal looks at her body and smirks.

Crystal: Now I have my eyes on that Viral Championship and one day rest assured it will be mine! I do need to fill that void of having a Zion Championship around my waist especially considering I came into this company full of hype. I was in the main event from the very first day and since that day I have slipped down the totem pole. It’s time to build myself back up to where I need to be and it’s time that I get back to where I belong and that’s at the top. The main way to rectify what happened is to beat the woman who beat me before I went on to beat Damon Cross…

Crystal shakes her head in disgust.

Crystal: I did not like dropping a match to you Morgana and that lost to you still troubles me to this day. I will face you and you will be forced to deal with me. You can talk all that shit on Twitter making fun of me because I have a busy life. Yes I am in a few football leagues and yes I am all over the place but that never stopped me from conquering championships and hell next month I am going to claim that TIA World Championship for myself, but that’s next month. Right now it’s about winning my match tonight and keeping my eyes on you. Watch your back because despite all of the withcraft I would be the one to put a spell on you. You might be the prettiest pagan or whatever but I am the burning rose and I will set this world ablaze… Flame on!

With that Crystal is super confident as we go elsewhere.



Cut to the backstage area where Meliana Rodrigo is standing with Taylor Gibson and Cindy Collins. Taylor has a big smile on her face, fresh off her victory over former world champ Daria Dorsey.

Meliana Rodrigo:
"I'm joined by Thotline Miami, the current world tag team Champions. Taylor, earlier tonight you faced Daria Dorsey and came out victorious. How are you feeling after that moment?"

Taylor Gibson:
"I feel on top of the world. Daria is as tough as anyone in Zion and I learned that first hand tonight."

She smiles softly, with a very proud look on her face.

Taylor Gibson:
"But I won. I proved Thotline Miami aren't just great tag team wrestlers, we're great wrestlers period! I have all the respect in the world for Daria and anytime she wants a rematch, I'm down. But… there are other people gunning for us too.

Cindy steps forward, standing next to her partner and leaning in a little closer to Meliana's microphone.

Cindy Collins:
"We've heard the call outs. We know Killer Instinct have been trying to get another shot at our tag team titles since our last encounter."

Meliana Rodrigo:
"So could we see Thotline Miami versus Killer Instinct for the world tag team championships soon?"

Cindy Collins:
"It feels like that's the collision course we're on. If they can keep putting up wins, I think it's likely."

Taylor Gibson:
"If there's one thing we've learned in our time on Fusion, it's that anything can happen in Zion. You beat one challenger and there's two or three of four more around the corner."

Cindy Collins:
"If it is Killer Instinct that get the next shot at us? They're going to be in for the fight of their lives. There has not been one day that's gone by where we haven't been preparing for them.

Taylor Gibson:
"And we've had a looooooot of days to prepare."

Cindy Collins:
"Mhm. Taylor might not look it, but she's a genius at this stuff. That's how she beat Dorsey, she had seven days to work her out. In just one week of prep she was able to go from an underdog to her equal."

Taylor grins widely and leans against her partner affectionately.

Taylor Gibson:
"We're super DUPER ready for Killer Instinct. Buuuuut they haven't beaten BFG yet. And if Kenzie and Fable beat them? I think I'm gonna be MUCH more interested in facing that team.

Meliana Rodrigo:
"Certainly there is no shortage of competitive teams on Fusion!"

Cindy Collins:
"It doesn't matter to us if it's Killer Instinct, BFG or anyone else. Bring them on. We might be at the top of the mountain, but our dreams are sky high!

The tag team Champions exude confidence. Meliana nods her head.

Meliana Rodrigo:
"I think I speak for everyone when I say we can't wait to see you defend those titles next, no matter who it's against."

She smiles at the camera as the scene fades out.

Meliana Rodrigo walks up to Jordan Majors backstage with a camera in tow. Jordan turns away for a moment and looks down. Then she turns back and looks at Meliana and forces a smile.

Meliana Rodrigo: Jordan, I wanted to get a few thoughts from you on how the mini-tournament went two weeks ago. Once again, Avalanche cheated you out of a match. How can you get past them?

Jordan turns to walk away and then stops herself. She faces Meliana and then shakes her head.

Jordan Majors: No, you know what? I was going to just walk away, but I’m tired. I am sick AND freaking tired of Avalanche. They lost their precious leader, and now they’re just three losers who can’t achieve anything on their own. If I see even one of them in the ring with me at Madness, I will do everything in my power to knock their asses out of the ring personally and I will end their hopes and dreams at my own hands. For far too long, I have allowed them to play their desired role as thorns in my side. I’m not going to put up with it anymore. This ridiculousness started when I went out of my way to help Hana and she stabbed me in the back. How well has that really worked out for you, Hana? I thought you were better than this. Instead, you’ve been exposed for your own weaknesses. Code Black was once considered one of the best tag teams in this company. What now? They look like they can’t win without help. Well, I don’t need help. You don’t see me dragging Queens from Mayhem or NFW over here to protect me. I’m going to do this my way. I’m going to battle back and I WILL get my title back.

Meliana stares at Jordan, who is seething after practically yelling into the mic. She pulls the mic back and swallows down the lump in her throat.

Meliana Rodrigo: Jordan… you also have a match with Legion tonight. It’s a pretty high-profile match between the two of you. Both former champions. This match actually might be going under the radar a bit, but-

Jordan Majors: It’s going under the radar because people are already glossing over me. ARIA is champion now. Everyone is happy. They wanted to throw a parade basically. And new challengers are already lining up. Katrina has people like me out of the picture. JUST like she wants, right? Maybe, I don’t know. Maybe I’m overthinking that a bit. It really doesn’t matter. Every match is an opportunity for me to prove to Katrina that I absolutely deserve the chance to fight for what’s mine. For what I lost. I don’t care if I draw the first spot at Madness. I have to run the table and I have to walk out of there as the winner. I have to secure my spot to fight for that title. Now excuse me. I have a Zion legend to fight.

Jordan walks in front of Meliana and off camera with a smug expression. Meliana looks toward the camera and then shrugs.



MATCH #4: JORDAN MAJORS VS LEGION



Majors and Legion start this one off exchanging holds, with the more experienced grappler in Legion getting the upper hand with a Top Wristlock! Majors reverses now, taking her to the mat with an Arm Drag before jumping up and nailing her with a Dropkick as she tries to get up! Legion gets up against the ropes, with Majors attempting to send her across the ring with an Irish Whip! But Legion reverses, throwing Majors into the ropes with the Whip instead! She hunches over in anticipation for Majors’ return, only for her to be caught with an attempted Sunset Flip Powerbomb! But Legion keeps her balance, coming down on a grounded Majors with a Rana Pin! She gets the two count before Majors reverses with a Sit Out Pin, getting a two as well!

Majors sidesteps an oncoming Legion and sends her into the ropes, going for a Bicycle Kick when she returns! Legion catches the leg however, necessitating an Eniziguri for Majors! Legion has this scouted however, letting go of Majors’ leg as she leaps and causing her to crash face first to the mat! She quickly captializes, grabbing Majors from behind and dropping her to the mat with a Deadlift German Suplex! She bridges for the pin, only getting a two count! Legion looks to finish this, looking for the Starlight Booster! But Majors dodges it, turning Legion around before hitting her with the Chapter 11 (Double Knee Facebreaker)! Pin by Majors, with Legion kicking out right before the three!

Majors waits for Legion to get back to her feet, before looking for the Cash Out! But Legion escapes the hold of the Jump Cutter, fixing Majors perfectly in position for Queendom Come (Hammerlock Back Suplex)! She goes straight into Storytime (Double Fujiwara Armbar)! Majors looks to be in trouble, until Hayumi Yamamoto appears at ringside, placing her foot on the ropes to break the move for Legion! This excites a rage in the Queen of the Hive, who approaches the ropes and attempts to fight off Yamamoto! The Trios Champion backs off, getting away from the ring and Legion! This distraction doesn’t deter Legion however, who goes for Shattered Realms on Majors instead! But Majors reverses, getting her head up just time to deliver a Cash Out (Jumping Cutter) out of nowhere! Pin by Majors, getting the three count to secure the win!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Jordan! Majors!

Eddie Red Apples: Jordan Majors gets a bit of steam on her side heading into the Madness Rumble, courtesy of Hayumi Yamamoto!

Amber Westgate: Hayumi Yamamoto obviously took that confrontation with The Hive last week to heart! It’s clear these two teams are far from done with one another!

Majors celebrates as we fade!

WINNER: JORDAN MAJORS
RESULT: PINFALL (CASH OUT)



The cameras, and interviewer Meliana Rodrigo catch up with Ashlynn Cassidy backstage, banged up from her match but smiling from ear to ear.

Meliana Rodrigo: Ashlynn! Congratulations on a successful outing in your first match of 2023 and qualifying for the Madness Rumble! You certainly look ecstatic about it. Do you have anything you wanted to say to the locker room, or your fans?

Ashlynn essentially ignores this, almost euphoric until she nearly bumps into a roadcase. Leaning against it, a familiar gentleman. Ash doesn’t hesitate to plant one on him, taking her time. Meliana seems rather surprised by all this. The camera rotates slightly to show the other half of the kiss. Why it’s none other than former Gateway and Fighting Spirit Champion, Ricky Rodriguez.

Meliana holds the mic out toward Ash who finally notices.

Ashlynn Cassidy: Oh, I’m feeling great! You know Ricky Rodriguez right? He’s on Fusion now!

This of course doesn’t really answer the questions directly. Meliana switches her target, angling the mic more toward Ricky. He chuckles as he has her arms around her, trying to calm her down.Ashlynn seems to be continuing on down the corridor, toward an exit door. Ricky gives Meliana a calming smile.

Ricky Rodriguez: She’s been like this for a few weeks now. She’s all really, really bubbly and upbeat! Full of energy like all the time.

Meliana Rodrigo: Really? Last we saw of her to end the year she was the complete opposite-

Ironically, now that the microphone wasn’t directed at her, she wanted it to. She stopped and even grabbed the mic out of Meliana’s grasp to hold it to her lips before hastily continuing toward the door, walking backwards as to still face the camera.

Ashlynn Cassidy: Look, I get it, last time you saw me, I was angry, I was miserable. I wasn’t feeling colourful at all. I was a black hole of bummer. I was full to the brim with Haterade. I was an energy and joy vacuum. But I feel totally different now. I feel so much better!

Meliana Rodrigo: Well, why? What happened?

Ashlynn Cassidy: I…don’t feel like I need to hold a grudge all the time? I feel like after years of the universe shitting on me, things are finally starting to calm down. The universe might even be on my side now. I mean, Ricky’s fantastic, and there’s-

A female voice can be heard as the exit doors crack open slightly.

: Come on! You two take ages! You wanna be late for the flight? You know what happens this weekend!

With that, Ashlynn cuts herself off and tosses the mic back to the interviewer. She bursts through the exit, pulling Ricky along and leaving the door to shut on Meliana, leaving her holding the microphone.

We cut backstage to find Meliana Rodrigo standing by with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face.

Meliana Rodrigo: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time… Kara “Killer” Carbajal and Miguel Ortiz… Killer Instinct.

The camera pans out a little to reveal Killer Instinct standing beside the interviewer, neither look too thrilled about being there.

Meliana Rodrigo: Guys? Tonight you’re going up against Kenzie Garrett and Fable Rowen… BFG… and--

Kara “Killer” Carbajal Yeah, yeah, yeah Rodrigo… we know! We’re against a Bunch of Fucking Gaffes! And before you get your panties in a twist, we know that’s not what BFG stands for… but do you honestly think we give a fuck? Because quite frankly… it doesn’t matter what their name stands for as I for one… will be introducing them to a couple of BFG’s of my own… my Big Fucking Guns!

Carbajal then flexes her muscles, showing off the size of her arms that she likes to refer to as “guns”.

Miguel Ortiz: They haven't even said a word because they know they can't compete with us. But that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Ortiz let out a hearty chuckle.

Miguel Ortiz: I almost feel sorry for them… but only almost. This is just another night for us to show who the real champions should be. Watch closely tonight, ladies and assholes.

KC laughs as she rests her arm on Ortiz’s shoulder and her expression changes to a snarl as she glares into the camera.

Kara “Killer” Carbajal Welcome to the Gun Show, bitches!

Carbajal and Ortiz then proceed to walk off camera, the former shoving Rodrigo out of the way to let them pass as we cut elsewhere.

MATCH #5: BFG VS KILLER INSTINCT



Fable Rowen starts the match against Miguel Ortiz, attempting to lock up with the 6’9” behemoth! He pushes her away however, sending her to the mat with ease!

She gets her in position for a Suplex, going for the lift only to be met with a Stundog Millionaire by Rowen! Carbajal staggers, leaving an opening for Rowen to hit her with the Dropkick!

WINNERS: KILLER INSTINCT
RESULT: PINFALL (KILLSHOT)



We open backstage. A few seconds pass before Kimberly Williams steps into the scene from the right. The demented ginger is dressed in purple dress pants, an orange button up silk shirt, a green tie, and a purple suit coat. Her long red hair hangs straight and unrestrained to past the shoulders. Her SCW Underground Championship title belt is wrapped around her waist, the HKW Bloodlust Championship title belt is draped over her right shoulder, and the ‘Datura Invented’ Unsanctioned Title belt is draped over her left shoulder. Her right hand is behind her back, currently unseen by the camera.

Kimberly Williams: Oh, did I lose last week? I suppose I did. Am I supposed to be upset? I suppose I am. And little miss fake queenie Yukiko thinks I should bend the knee to her plastic ass?

The Queen of the Death Match shakes her head.

Kimberly Williams: Not gonna happen, babe. It’s just as I said last week, I am not going to lose a wink of sleep over losing to you. You’re not in my headspace, little girl. You never will. Winning and losing one match doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things. What matters is the long game and as long as I sow my seeds of chaos, I will be victorious in the long run. I guarantee it. And speaking of chaos, the Queens of Chaos…

The demented ginger snickers nastily.

Kimberly Williams: You don’t have a damn clue about REAL chaos! Yukiko, Alexandra, both of you are an insult and an embarrassment to the name of chaos. Look at you! You’re not out there spreading the gospel of chaos! You are just another cookie cutter faction that is all about gang warfare, shady shenanigans, lying, cheating, and stealing your way to championship glory. As if being on top of the mountain, sitting on some makeshift throne, makes you a queen. You are not Queens of Chaos. You are just like the other fake Barbie Doll Queens and Ken Doll Kings who believe that they are entitled to everything in this business. You are jus like every other stuck up bitch who think they are OWED something in this business.

That’s not chaos. That’s just another Saturday morning cartoon super villain looking to take over the world. You lot are just Pinky and The Brain with another lame brain scheme every night. Chaos doesn’t seek to take over anything. Chaos doesn’t seek to rule anything. Chaos seeks to watch the entire fucking world burn. Chaos doesn’t give a damn about championship glory. Chaos seeks to destroy it all and leave it in utter ruin. You are not Queens of Chaos. You are frauds. You are fakes. You are an embarrasment to the name of chaos.

Williams smirks knowingly.

Kimberly Williams: But have no fear! Your old psychotic lunatic pal Kimmy is here to set you straight and teach you a thing or three about what chaos is all about…a thing or three, four…or five…

The Woman Scorned brings out her right hand, which we now see is sporting the knife glove that she lovingly calls “Betty White.”

Kimberly Williams: See, Alexandra, the reason why I didn’t lose any sleep over losing to your little bitch last week is because chaos…true chaos…doesn’t ultimately care about winning or losing, and neither do I. Tonight I don’t care if I beat you. That’s not the plan. My plan is to maim you. My plan is to gut you like a fucking fish. When I leave your broken and bloody ass in several pieces for Yukiko to try and stitch back together again, maybe then the pair of you will realize what true chaos really means.

One, two, Kimmy’s coming for you…

Kimberly skips away happily.



MATCH #6: ALEXANDRA CALAWAY VS KIMBERLY WILLIAMS



Williams immediately rushes Calaway off the bell, railing on her with a myriad of strikes until the official manages to pull the two apart! Calaway recovers, catching an oncoming Williams in the midsection with a Knee Strike! She follows up, rushing Williams into the corner and pushing her head into the middle turnbuckle! She repeatedly bashes Williams’ head against the pad, catching the attention of the official who breaks up the two! Calaway feigns restraint, before rushing back towards the corner and nailing Williams with Double Knees to the back of the head! She rolls her away from the corner, going for a pin that renders her a two count!

Calaway pulls Williams to her feet, getting her in position for a Suplex! But Williams reverses it, snagging her to mat with a Schoolboy Pin that gets a two! She follows up, rolling over to supply a Kick to the side of Calaway’s head! Calaway staggers back into the ropes, with Williams charging after her and nailing her with a Knee Strike! She follows up, throwing her to the other side of the ring with an Irish Whip! Calaway returns, nailing Williams with a Big Boot! She follows up, looking for a Curb Stomp! But Williams reverses, moving out of the way before dropping Calaway with a German Suplex! She bridges for the pin, only getting a two!

Williams gets to her feet, hitting the ropes for another move! But Calaway counters, tossing her to the mat with a Michinoku Driver! She gets to her feet, running the ropes before hitting Williams with the V Trigger! She decides to end Williams here, lifting her up on her shoulders and looking for Apocalypse! But just as she heightens the lift for the Elevated Powerbomb, Williams rolls over Calaway’s back, getting her to the mat for a Sunset Flip Pin! She grabs the three count before rolling out of the ring, sneaking away a victory in this match!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Kimberly! Williams!

Calaway is completely shocked by the outcome of this match, not willing to take the result lying down! She rushes out of the ring, clobbering a celebrating Williams at ringside!

Eddie Red Apples: What a sore loser!

Amber Westgate: Alexandra Calaway prizes herself on her wrestling pedigree! There was zero chance of her taking a manner of defeat like this without some sort of say!

Calaway continues her assault, battering Williams at ringside until officials rush in to pull her away! Medics try to tend to Williams, but she’s already back to her feet, rushing over and diving through the sea of striped shirt staffers to retaliate against Calaway! Even more referees come out now to keep them separated as we fade!

WINNER: KIMBERLY WILLIAMS
RESULT: PINFALL (ROLL UP)



Camera fades to Ayu Megumi standing in front of the camera smiling as she waves to the camera to greet her fans. Ayu reached out to shake hands with the cameraman, her other hand showing Nami Megumi's baton to show that she was next to her older sister Nami over Maki and beyond. It's saying that Nami will always be by her side no matter what.

About the last week, I don't want to think about it to give you a headache. I'm not an angry person for long, I know that's something that can happen in the world of wrestling. I might do as they do. But I think I'm smart enough not to do something stupid like Avalanche did. They still do the same. They still envy people who are more successful than them. Even without Haruka now they still do the same things that only people with no brains do but well it happened and I thought I would never do something like that. Absolutely, and yes, Hana, I don't need any more introductions. You know who I am Yes, I'm your girlfriend's sister. I have my eyes on you more than anyone because when you neglect my sister I'll be the one who gets rid of you on my own. You're lucky I didn't feel any anger when you and your team attacked me and my friend last week. But if it happens to Nami, I will definitely show you another side that no one has ever seen. I've warned you, Hana, if my sister gets hurt, when will we find out!

The camera then shifts over to find Ayu’s tag partner Nao Saegusa. She looks at the baton with a tilt of the head for a moment before she gives a smile and a peace sign to the camera.

“It’s too bad about what Avalanche did last week, but they’ve already shown they’re willing to stoop to villainous methods like that, so it’s not a surprise. But doing it to me is one thing, but laying my friends out with me is even worse. Watching that back and seeing the three of us on the ground like that, that hurt far more than the attack itself did. And over, what, being mad Ayu and I stopped you guys from costing ARIA the title, that Kaneko didn’t get to be helped to being champion? Nothing excuses those actions, though I’m sure they wouldn’t call it an excuse, I’m sure they’re proud of themselves. But villains should keep one thing in mind. Everything comes back around, you know, and that’ll be too bad for you all.. Speaking of too bad...”

She reaches up and taps her knuckles against the back of her head, grinning.

“I’ve been hit in the back of the head a lot harder and still come back the next week, so they’d have to do far worse to get rid of me! And they didn’t get rid of any of us, only ignited an even brighter flame, so it’s time for them to reap what they sowed! Whatever enjoyment they’ve gotten from their recent actions is going to turn sour right in their mouths! A villainous act will always be responded to by Heroes, and they’re going to learn that this week. You can’t attack us from behind when you have to be face to face with us in the ring, so it’s time for them to face Justice!”

Ayu smiled at Nao Saegusa before she looked back at the camera to say one more time.

I'm going to say this to my friends because now ARIA is preparing for tonight's match. My friends are tired of being bothered by you guys. Because I remember from before I went to BRKTHRU until I came back to Fusion, you guys were still doing the same dirty things. It's time for us to make you feel like you can't do anything here. I will protect my friends and everyone here from Avalanche. No matter what, the evil you have done must be destroyed. And of course it will be me and Nao who protect everyone here!

Ayu smiles at the camera one more time before walking out of the frame followed by Nao Saegusa before the scene fades to black.

She gets back to her feet as ARIA staggers into the ropes, sending her over with a Big Boot!

Kaneko reverses this however, sending Megumi across the ring with an Irish Whip instead! Megumi hits the ropes, with Nao Saegusa making the blind tag as she does!

She takes to the top rope, looking for a Frog Splash, but Olivia Nightshade trips her up instead! She positions herself on the second rope now, hoping to take ARIA down with a Superplex! But ARIA fights back with a few strikes, before slipping between Olivia’s legs and positioning her on her shoulders! She carries her across the ring, looking for a Powerbomb! But Ravyn comes to the rescue, pulling Olivia down from ARIA’s shoulders before assisting her sister with a Double Superkick!

Code Black proceeds to double team the World Champion now, pushing her back into the corner before pulling her out with an Irish Whip! They don’t release ARIA however, instead send her right back into the turnbuckles! ARIA slumps to a seated position in the corner, with Olivia whipping Ravyn right into her for a Basement Dropkick! Ravyn rolls ARIA out of the corner and goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Pin broken up by Ayu Megumi! Olivia rushes over to try and stop her, attempting to throw Megumi through the ropes and out of the ring! But this only works to Megumi’s benefit, with The Amazing Girl jumping to the second rope to deliver a Moonsault to Olivia! The two roll out of the ring, with Ravyn pulling ARIA to her feet! But ARIA fights back, nailing Ravyn with a European Uppercut before hitting the ropes! She looks for J4A, but Ravyn dodges it, leaving ARIA to be hit with the Fukuoka Kick from a returning Kaneko! Brazilian Kick connects! ARIA staggers back, right into a Butterfly Suplex from Ravyn! She rolls out of the ring, with Ravyn and Kaneko going after her! The three converge with Ayu Megumi and Olivia Nightshade at ringside, with both sides throwing hard strikes at one another! Conspicuous by her absence however is Nao Saegusa, who’s presence is known very quickly as she scales the turnbuckles! She’s on the top rope, looming over the cluster of chaos at ringside before diving onto all of them with a Moonsault!

Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!
HO-LY SHIT!

Saegusa pulls herself back to her feet, grabbing Olivia Nightshade out of the heap before throwing her back into the ring! She takes to the top rope, looking for the Spacium Cut!

Pin by Olivia Nightshade!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE-

Kick out by Saegusa! Olivia is frustrated by this, banging on the mat furiously before looking to finish Saegusa off! She hoists her up on her shoulders, looking for Dark Silence! But Saegusa comes down from behind, nailing Olivia with a Backstabber instead! The two are laid out on the mat now, with a partner each climbing to the apron ready for a tag! ARIA comes to the aid of Saegusa, while Kaneko steps up for Olivia! It’s a race now as Saegusa and Olivia crawl for their respective corners! With one last jolt forward, Saegusa manages to get the tag to ARIA! At the same time, Olivia jolts herself forward, but whiffs the tag! Kaneko…Kaneko jumped down from the apron! Olivia looks Kaneko in the eyes out of confusion, with her stablemate looking at her with a grimace of defeated anger! Kaneko begins to walk off, leaving The Nightshades to fend for themselves! Depending on perspective however, this either fortunately or unfortunately doesn’t last long, with Olivia turning around right into J4A!! Justice For All! Running Knee Strike connects! Pin by ARIA!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Ravyn tries getting back to the ring to cut in, only to be decked by a Clothesline from Kaneko as she exits!

THREE!!




Alex Lawson: The winners of this match…Nao Saegusa, Ayu Megumi, and the Zion Wrestling World! Heavyweight! Champion!...ARIA!!

Eddie Red Apples: An amazing match, made baffling by Hana Kaneko’s display at the end there!

Amber Westgate: Hana Kaneko seems to have walked out on Avalanche! But nevertheless, this grueling contest nets us a winner! The heroes rule the day!

Megumi and Saegusa are still recovering, leaving ARIA to celebrate alone as she holds her World Heavyweight Championship high! Just then however, someone rushes in and attacks ARIA, leaving her laid out with a Big Boot! We pan over to see that it’s…Cassie Lopez!

Eddie Red Apples: What the hell is Cassie Lopez doing here?! And now?!

Lopez grabs the World Heavyweight Championship belt off the mat, taking a good look at it before raising it over her head to the boos of the crowd!

Amber Westgate: That right there says it all, Eddie! Cassie Lopez has arrived on Fusion, and it seems as though she’s calling her shot at the top of the brand early!

Lopez dumps the belt onto the prone champion, leaving ARIA laid out on the mat as she makes her exit! The show fades to black, with the visual of Saegusa and Megumi swarming ARIA to offer help!

WINNERS: ARIA, AYU MEGUMI, & NAO SAEGUSA
