The first chorus of “Throne” by Bring Me the Horizon ends as we fade into a sold out Amway Center! A huge set of pyro goes off to start us off for Mayhem tonight as we cut to Winter Mae and Trick Morrison at the announce desk!
Winter Mae: We’re less than two weeks away from finding out who will get the opportunity of a lifetime, and we have plenty of people wanting to make a statement for why it should be them! Welcome…to Monday Night Mayhem! I’m Winter Mae, joined by my broadcast partner, Trick Morrison!
Trick Morrison: Got an exciting night ahead of us, Winter! Debuts, surprises, championship matches galore! This one is definitely gonna be a night to remember, and it starts off with the contract signing for the Zion Tag Team Championship Match at Madness!
Inside of the ring, we see Tommy Green. There’s a table lined in a black tablecloth in the ring, with two chairs on each side of the table, and a contract book in the center. In golden lettering in the leather cover, reads “ZION WRESTLING TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS.”
Tommy Green: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the official contract signing for the Zion Wrestling Tag Team Championships bout at Madness. Introducing first, the challengers: Kaya and Lillith Parker: The Deathriders!
The lights go out in the arena, as two sets of fire fans come on, on either side of the stage. The two begin moving rhythmically as the music begins to play. There is a single spotlight shone on the middle of the stage, as Haven Fox comes out from the back carrying a microphone.
Haven Fox: Ladies and Gentleman after much soul searching. She has returned back, and might be more focused now than she had before!
The two get taken over for, as a single rose is shown amongst the fire fans continuing to wave. the Rose is lit off the fire fan, as Kaya's face can be seen. She giggles, as she tosses the rose to the ground stomping on it moving over to the spotlight.
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side (high)
Kaya gets down on one knee as Lilith comes up behind her. Have points down to Kaya, as she then stands up and begins walking down the ramp, with her sister at her side. Haven walking behind the two clapping as they slowly made their way down. They look into the ring, then look at each other. Lilith walking to one side, Kaya to the other with Haven in tow. She climbed into the ring, looking at the ring announcer as Lilith climbed up on the other side, Lilith climbs into the ring, then go to the far side of the table sitting down looking up the ramp.
Trick Morrison: If you’re The Deathriders, you have to be on cloud nine right now! They’re walking into Madness with momentum on their side.
Winter Mae: Absolutely, Trick. It’s something that Rock Candy has to keep in mind, but I think you also need to wonder just who’s side is Diamond on? If you recall, this isn’t the first time that her allegiance has been in question when it comes to this reign with Razzles Mars.
Trick Morrison: No one in their right mind would throw away a title opportunity, Winter! I’m sure we’ll get answers from Diamond in this face-to-face.
Tommy Green: And the champions: Diamond Steele and Razzles Mars, Rock Candy!
Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She raises her Zion Wrestling Tag Team Championship high above her head as she is wearing her “Pink Ladies” jacket and has a huge bag in her hands.
Winter Mae: The Tag Team Champions not coming out together… you have to question if they’re on the same page and if that’s going to play into favor for the Death Riders.
Trick Morrison: Division in the ranks certainly won’t NOT help the challengers, here!
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
“Strawberry Shake” by POP Levi plays and the fans are on their feet for the Zion Wrestling Hero of the Year and one half of the tag team champions. Instead of the usual sunshine and smiles that the pink-haired Londoner sports? She’s glaring daggers at Diamond. Her pink hair was stacked up in half-up twintails, wearing a light pink camisole and white skinny cut jeans, torn at the knees, and a pair of glittery pink ankle booties. She wears her Zion Wrestling Tag Team Championship around her waist. Brushing past Diamond, disregarding the still apologetic look on her face and clearly stating ”Once a snake… always a snake!” to her, she brushes up the steel steps, a cautious glance between the trio of Queens of Chaos before taking a seat at the table. “Strawberry Shake” fading into the distance as Razzles glares harshly at the women surrounding her.
Tommy Green: Ladies… tensions are high, especially after the events of Mayhem 56, so let’s keep this courteous and professiona-
Razzles reaches under the table, removing her spiked pink bat. Clutching it tightly at the handle, her green eyes meeting each woman surrounding her and aggressively chomping on her gum. The hand not white-knuckling the bat grabs a mic from the table, her tone of voice dark and threatening.
Razzles Mars: I don’t trust any of you lot as far as I can bloody throw you. So let’s get this over with.
Diamond Steele:For the love of God you need to trust me… I… I am your best friend Rachelle! So instead of being annoyed let it be known I got your back!
She said, slamming the microphone on the table. Kaya picks up the microphone for a moment, then looks over at Haven. She then passes it to Lilith, as Kaya gets out of the ring, she goes over to ring side, picking up two chairs, but Haven in his wisdom, takes the chairs from her motioning to her to get back into the ring.
Lilith Parker: What’s wrong Pinky? You have to bring a weapon to a contract signing, the fact is that Kaya was pulled off her vacation that Haven recommended for this, so I understand her frustration. But relax, we have nothing up our sleeves, but it’s still a point, that you need to watch your back. I get it, because really it’s a 3-on-1 situation here, and maybe just maybe, after Madness, you will come to that conclusion, that this deck was never in your favor. It was always in the favor of the Deathriders.
Kaya slides back into the ring, after leaving the chairs at ringside. She takes the microphone from Lilith, then looks into the eyes of Razzles, and Diamond.
Kaya Parker: Against my better judgment Karen, I agree with my sister. See I don’t need weapons to defend myself, considering the odds. Madness, this is only the beginning of the end for the two of you. You know the vacation taught me a few things, like my anger is not a burden, it is a focus, and you two blimey cunts are going to learn, that the Riders are not to be trifled with.
Diamond snatches the microphone.
Diamond Steele:CUNTS?! Don’t get it twisted. You can keep trying to spin this whole 3 on 1 thing but let’s remember I am a friend of Jessi Osborne you two are a DIFFERENT STORY. I like gold more than I like being a Queen, and I will defend this title with all of my heart. As the Diamond that I am I will find a way to shine bright!
Kaya takes the contract and signs it, while handing it to Lilith. Lilith quickly looks it over, and signs the line where she was supposed to sign, then throws it across the table. Tommy is visibly uncomfortable at the tension that permeates the air.
Tommy Green: The challengers have signed… now, for the Champions…
He pushed the contract towards Diamond and Razzles, flipping the paperwork to be right-side up for the champions. Diamond holds the pen in hand.
Diamond Steele:Look there seems to be a lot of confusion here RACHELLE and despite everything you need to trust me. You are my best friend HERE! You are my partner. I gave up being attached to my cousin Ruby to be on your side. We both are from London, I even started to dress like you. I won’t give that up. Not now and not ever. As a matter of fact I have something special for you tonight.
Diamond reaches into her bag and actually hands Razzles a “Pink Ladies” Jacket. She grins as the bomber jacket is glittery and of course pink.
Diamond Steele:The Pink Ladies are my baby, and yeah it may be based from the Grease movie but it’s a stable I developed in a company a long time ago, and over in another company I have brought it to life. I am handing you a jacket because you deserve to be a Pink Lady. The Pink Ladies pledge is to ACT COOL, TO LOOK COOL, AND TO BE COOL… TIL DEATH DO US PART THINK PINK!
Diamond signs the contract and passes the pen to Razzles. Razzles glares, thoroughly unimpressed at the trio of women surrounding her. She quickly scribbles her name on the pen with decorative swirls and hearts. Her hands take hold of the jacket that is being pushed in her direction by Diamond. Examining it, and shaking her head, planting it on the table. Lilith and Kaya seem to be pleased with this turn of events. As the Deathriders push back in their chairs, grinning and Tommy, happy to have avoided the blows that were sure to pass, Razzles remains seated. Grabbing hold of the mic with the now-free hand as soon as the brunette and redhead approach the ropes.
Razzles Mars: It’s bloody surreal that some people can be even dumber than they look, I’ll tell you that much.
She grins, picking herself up from the chair as the Deathriders stop in their tracks at Strawberry Clobbler’s insult. She stands, clutching the contract in hand.
Razzles Mars: You thought the bat was all I had prepared for you?
The Pink Rebel smirked, throwing the contract back onto the table after having waved it about for attention. Propping her spiked bat right back over her shoulder.
Razzles Mars: Maybe you didn’t read… maybe you can’t. It’s not my problem since the deal is signed and etched in stone as far as the legalities are concerned. See… the thing is, Lily No-Mates proved last week that she couldn’t get the job done on her own. That match saw practically more ring time from Red there than Lily herself. She proved she’s not good enough, just like she told us all. So, forgive me for being a tad cheeky, but… if Rock Candy is going to defend our Tag Team Championships against people who, quite honestly, it wouldn’t elevate our stock to beat? We need somethin’ a bit more to sink our teeth into to make this worth it, since we don’t even really have braggin’ rights here when we win! So, I took the liberty of makin’ this a bit more of a fair playin’ field, yeah?
Diamond Steele: Bloody hell you tell them luv. You tell them exactly what we plan to do.
As Diamond cheers her partner on, it earns little more than a contemptuous snarl from Mars.
Razzles Mars: Don’t you bloody patronize me, you’re just as much the reason for this as they are! This is hardly the first time you’ve shown me that you’re the exact same woman you were when you were tryin’ to end my career in London, only this time, you’ve got your sheep’s clothing on! I am sick to death of doing this ‘can you trust Diamond?’ act. You’re the same exact snake you were then as you are now. But, you don’t get to bite me first, Diamond. Not this time. See, this match is just as important for us as it is for them now and finally, for once in a sodding lifetime, we’ll get to see EXACTLY where your loyalties lie! Because y’see, at Madness? If Lily No-Mates and As Told By Ginger somehow defy all odds and get the win… yeah. They’ll leave with our titles, and a big round of applause from me. But, when we win? We get to keep our titles… and the Queens of Chaos DISBAND. Across all federations, all iterations, all combinations: do not pass go, do not collect £200. THEY’RE DONE!
Diamond Steele: WAIT?! WHAT?! WHY?!
The fans roar as Tommy is freaking out in the background, hands on his head, shock on his face. Razzles is nose-to-nose with her enemy-turned friend-possibly turned enemy once more.
Trick Morrison: She can’t do this!
Winter Mae: It’s already done! The papers are signed, and all four women have agreed! Titles versus Faction at Madness!
Trick Morrison: No one expected that clause! They didn’t read it! The ramifications of this match could affect dozens of wrestling companies! Razzles Mars has crossed the line!
Winter Mae: Just because they didn’t read it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t stand. Just when we thought this couldn’t get any bigger, Trick! The ante has been upped!
Razzles Mars: Seems you’ve got a choice to make… is this team, is our reign, the Pink Ladies, and am I as important as you say… or is… it… them?
She asked, tossing the mic to wherever it may land, the feedback squealing off the apron. The Deathriders glance at each other in shock at what they’ve signed. While Diamond may have been looking at Razzles last week with pure apology in her face, Razzles is glaring at Diamond with contempt and broken trust. Stepping back, leaving the jacket on the table, “Strawberry Shake” plays again as she snatches her title and bat, leaving the three remaining Queens of Chaos in the ring, sharing concerned exchanges between one another. Walking backwards up the ramp with the bat pointed at the ring, and the three women in it.
In the back, we see Trinity sitting on their gold thrones with Valentina Skye wearing a shirt that says “Justice For Trinity” along with her ring gear under it, the same thing goes for Delilah Hill, who’s wearing an identical shirt with her wrestling gear. Brooke Cartwright is wearing a pastel pink bodycon dress and dusty pink block heeled sandals. Aubrinana steps up to the plate and has a pissed off look on her face. The Most Valuable Powers is wearing black dress pants, black boots, and a black t-shirt with the words Aubrianna Powers printed on the front in hot pink. She has her National Championship title belt wrapped around her waist.
Aubrianna Powers: This should have been a joyous day of celebration. The people…peasants, idiots, unwashed morons, same thing…their bleak and pointless existence would be brightened if only for one shining fleeting moment when Val and I faced off in the Hashtag All Trinity Most Valuable Match!
Powers pats the title belt.
Aubrianna Powers: For my National Championship. But then a certain sore loser whose name will not be mentioned…TURBO…decided to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong. I mean, I get it. You have no hope of being as successful, accomplished, or as gorgeous as us, you have to get the rub from somewhere. But you do not steal our spotlight. So now, you will be the victim of the Revenge Against Turbo For Ruining The All Trinity Most Valuable Match!
The MVP glares at the camera.
Aubrianna Powers: DO NOT FORGET THE HASHTAG!
Valentina keeps a evil scowl on her face
Valentina Skye: This is why I’m pissed off!
Valentina stands up and stands right next to her
Valentina Skye: ¡Turbo, PERRA ESTÚPIDA
Aubrianna smirks at this
Valentina Skye: ¿Cómo te atreves a arruinar el partido de Trinity que todo el mundo quería ver? ¿Cómo te atreves a arruinar una obra maestra que mi hermana y yo estábamos poniendo? ¿Estás celoso de Trinity? ¿Estás celoso del hecho de que te hayan dejado de lado por nosotr
She shakes her head with a smirk.
Valentina Skye: Honestamente, ¡estaría celoso de que dos hermosas chicas tuvieran la oportunidad de brillar! ¡Supongo que no pudiste manejarlo!
She walks in front of the camera
Valentina Skye: Turbo, ¡te vas a arrepentir de todo lo que has hecho! ¡Te vas a arrepentir de follar con Aubs, con Trinity y conmigo!
Delilah & Brooke stand up and join their sisters in front of the camera. Delilah now addresses the camera while Brooke stands behind her, arms crossed and looking serious as Delilah speaks.
Delilah Hill: Lilith (Meadows)! It must really suck to be you right now. The stuff that’s happening with us right now is just unbearable! Revolting and downright miserable! Tonight, YOU’RE going to be the one that is miserable! Because there is absolutely nothing that’s going to stop me from destroying you and make you get a little ounce of how we’re feeling. And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it!
Brooke places her hand upon Deliah to calm her down while stepping up to face the camera.
Brooke Cartwright: I just don’t get you people. Are you really trying to “flex your muscles” against four Goddesses? Being this bold testing our patience like this makes one either incredibly brave or extremely stupid. And I know (giggles) there isn’t a brave one among you because even the most valiant, or valiant-minded person wouldn't even think of riling us for any reason. But you see, this is what we live for. This is why we are up here…
On cue, the four ladies raise their hand making a “size gesture” to drive Brooke’s point.
Brooke Cartwight: …and the rest of you…down there.
The ladies lower their hand to give their representation to Brooke’s subject in her point.
Brooke Cartwright: Now people have to pay for our frustration! And TONIGHT Trinity is going to do it in spades as Deliah & Valentina crush Lilith and that dirty cucaracha Turbo respectively! Punish you so bad that you two will go so far as to lick their boots to get them to stop…which they will NOT! NOBODY disrespects Trinity! And our justice will be strong, hard, and, for damn sure, satisfied!
Valentina Skye: AND that is the cold hard truth! Let’s go!
All four of them walk out, pissed off and ready for a fight!
OPENING CONTEST: CARMEN “TURBO” LEIJA VS VALENTINA SKYE
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…representing Trinity…being accompanied to the ring by Aubrianna Powers…from Los Angeles, California…weighing in at 128 lbs…Valentina! Skye!
Winter Mae: Turbo has had it out for these two ever since Powers cost her an opportunity for the National Championship a few weeks ago at Mayhem: New Year’s Revolution!
Trick Morrison: Queen Aubrey was just trying to ensure that she had a deserving contender in line for her National Championship! People lose, it happens all the time! But that’s no excuse for that miscreant to ruin the All Trinity Most Valuable Match!
Skye and Turbo circle the ring around one another, before going in for a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up! Skye uses her strength to get the upper hand on Turbo in this exchange, pushing her back into the corner and pressing her against the turnbuckles until the referee gets between them to break it up! This seems like the end of it, until Skye reaches around the official and sends a slap right into the side of Turbo’s head! This sends the Shieldmaiden into a simmering rage, with the official attempting to hold her back as Skye cowers to the opposite corner and through the ropes to avoid her! The situation de-escalates, with Skye and Turbo free to circle the ring around each other once again! Skye throws her hand up, looking to initiate a Test of Strength! But Turbo doesn’t take this attempt a fair grappling at face value, staring down Skye for a moment before nailing her with a Boot to the midsection! She follows up, throwing Skye into the corner before wailing on her with Stomps until the referee backs her away!
Turbo then grabs Skye out of the corner, getting her position for a Suplex! She attempts to lift, but Skye refuses to budge, getting Turbo all of her weight! Eventually Skye is able to turn the tables, lifting Turbo up instead before dropping her with a Body Slam! She follows up, turning around before jumping up and landing a Standing Moonsault! She hooks the leg!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Turbo! Skye stays on top of her opponent, cinching in a Rear Chinlock to keep her entrapped! Turbo begins to make some movements towards an escape, feeding off the energy of the crowd to shift herself into a position to clobber Skye with a few shots to the midsection! She keeps throwing strikes towards the midsection, pushing Skye back before hitting the ropes and nailing her with a Dropkick! Skye falls back, toppling out of the ring as Turbo begins to get ideas to take flight again! She goes for the ropes, rushing in Skye’s direction for a Suicide Dive before Aubrianna Powers steps in to pull her friend out of harm’s way! Turbo takes a pause as she watches Powers walk Skye around ringside to help her shake off the cobwebs! They make it to an area near the ringpost, thinking they're safe from any diving attacks! But Turbo catches them by surprise, running from the opposite corner of the ring and sailing over the ringpost to deliver a Tope Con Hilo to both women! She throws Skye back into the ring, before taking to the middle rope! She launches off, nailing Skye with the Turbo Boost! Best Moonsault Ever connects! Pin by Turbo!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Skye! Turbo looks about ready to end it, getting to the top rope in hopes of hitting the Turbocharger! But Skye rolls away before Turbo can take off, leaving her to climb down to go after her! Skye takes advantage, playing possum just long enough for Turbo to get in close to catch a Drop Toe Hold! Turbo crashes face first to the mat, with Skye grabbing her up from behind to hit Sun’s Out! Glam Slam connects! Pin by Skye!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Turbo! Skye argues the count with the referee who confirms the nearfall to her! She turns her attention back to a recovering Turbo, ready to finish her off! But before she can do anything else Aubrianna Powers jumps into the ring, leathering Turbo with a shot to the head with her National Championship Belt! The official calls for the bell, Turbo gets the win via DQ!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match, as a result of a disqualification…Carmen! “Turbo”! Leija!
Powers begins to lay in on Turbo with stomps, with a confused Valentina Skye baffled at the way she just lost this match! Before she can get swept up in what just happened, she joins in the assault, laying into Turbo as well! Just then, "Justicia Negra" by Ekhymosis, with Turbo’s fellow Shieldmaidens, Sangre and Taza, rushing to the ring to help! Skye and Powers flee, the two taunting Las Olvidadas as they help Turbo to their feet! The stand off continues as we fade!
WINNER: CARMEN LEIJA
RESULT: DISQUALIFICATION (BELT SHOT)
The scene comes up in the ring, and you can see Elijah Copeland standing in the middle of it with the BRKTHRU Championship on his shoulder. He wearing a sleeveless shirt, loose-fitting jeans, and black sneakers. The fans begin to boo him as he looks around and shakes his head.*
"You know, I don't think you people in the crowd or the people in the back. But you know what I hate most? Chelsea Skye. But you know what? I hate everyone who isn't mean. I stand here still as BRKTHRU Champion, and nobody has proved me wrong yet. This is going to be my year, and nobody will take that away from me.
He snickers while keeping his eyes on the camera.
"But I'm a nice guy, and I'll challenge anyone who wants to fight me for this title. But let me bring it back to Skye. Who do you think you are? Hmmm? Do you think you matter to me? No. I faced bigger and a lot worse people than you. I'm not afraid to get down and dirty. I told people so many times that I'll do whatever it takes to win. I never once lied about that. People know, and I don't care. You're no different than the rest of those sheep who continues to deny what I can do in this ring. Do you want to play? Then let's play. But guess what? Not tonight. We will play when I'm good and ready. Until you stay where you belong. The staff doesn't control me or what I do. I do what I want because I'm ELIJAH FUCKING COPELAND! Don't like it? You can rot in hell. But Skye, I can promise you and anyone that stands to me. I promise you will suffer, and you will feel the wrath of what I can do like many before you. Until then? I'm out.
He drops the mic as "Break Through" by The Wreckage hits the PA system. He gets out of the ring and heads up the ramp. He gets to the stage and heads backstage as the scene fades to black.
MATCH #2: LINK ANDREWS VS STERLING JAMISON WHITE
SJW has seen a lot of rough nights, and this one is no different! After approaching Link Andrews and admonishing him over his life of excessive partying, Saturday’s Second Son clobbers him with a right hand! He continues with the blows until White is backed into the corner, with Andrews rushing from the opposite corner and nail him with a Clothesline! He quickly puts an end to SJW, nailing him with a Din’s Fire (Cave In) that sends the multitude of pamphlets he carries flying out of his back pocket! Pin by Andrews, securing a three count for an easy debut win!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Link! Andrews!
Andrews celebrates, jumping into the stands to crowd surf and celebrate with the fans as we fade!
WINNER: LINK ANDREWS
RESULT: PINFALL (DIN’S FIRE)
*The scene comes up backstage, and you can see Chris Matthews sitting down on a chair. He tilts his head a bit and gets a smile on his face. All he was doing was smiling without saying a word. He sits in that chair wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black loose-fitting jeans, black sneakers, and a black fitted beanie on his head. His smile went to a serious look.*
"War? War is something that can't be explained. I've been through so many wars in this company, and it seems like every war I was in...well, I lost it. You know, I hate losing as the next person. But one thing about me is that I'm still standing."
*He put his hand on his chin and begin to rub it gently. He starts to think about it and smiles again.*
But I believe that everything happens for reason. I can tell you right now that everything is going to change from here on out. War is coming, and I promise you that you're nothing going to like it. Anyone who stands in my path of destruction to claim a title will be nothing more than a casualty. I have no war with anyone except the champs of this company."
*He stands up and put his hands in his pocket, and tilts his head again.*
"There will be blood spilled, and the air will be nothing but the smell of the rotting corpses of my victims. Welcome to Monday Night Matthews. From now on, this show is my battleground, and I'm letting you all run free in it...for now. I'll see you all soon."
*Chris walks away as the scene fades to black.*
MATCH #3: LILITH MEADOWS VS DELILAH HILL
Meadows and Hill start this match off locking up! Meadows gets the upper hand as the more experienced grappler of the two, getting Hill into a Wristlock! Hill rolls forward to escape, getting Meadows into a Wristlock of her own! But Meadows quickly escapes now, getting Hill back into the Wristlock! Hill tries to once again roll forward to escape, but Meadows catches onto this, rolling forward with her to keep the move intact! She swiftly transitions into a Waistlock, before dumping Hill to the mat with a German Suplex! Meadows bridges for the pin, only getting a two count before Hill kicks out!
Meadows attempts to pull Hill to her feet, only for The Perfectionist to stand her ground by swatting Meadows’ hands away and catching her with a walloping Forearm! She follows up, nailing Meadows with a Boot to the midsection before throwing her shoulder first into the ring post! She pulls Meadows to the center of the ring, getting her in position before driving her to the mat with a Snap Suplex! She floats over for the pin, only getting the two count! Hill wastes no time, taking to the top rope before nailing Meadows with the Perfect 10 (Flying Dropkick)! Another pin by Hill, resulting in another two count! Hill looks on in disbelief, immediately covering Meadows again, to a similar result!
Hill throws a bit of a tantrum now, coming down from it in order to make her way to the top rope! She may be looking for the Social Butterfly, but we’ll never know, as Meadows makes it back to her feet and jumps to the second rope to send Hill to the mat with an Avalanche Arm Drag! She waits with anticipation as Hill crawls into the corner, running up and nailing her with Body Splash before pulling her out for Bedlam (Swinging Neckbreaker)! She isn’t finished there however, immediately pulling Hill in from the ground to lock in the Dark Ending (Rings of Saturn)! Hill tries going for the ropes to no avail, eventually being left with no choice but to submit!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Lilith! Meadows!
Winter Mae: An impressive win tonight, and certainly a huge reintroduction for the Faerie!
Trick Morrison: Mayhem has yet another amazing prospect on their hands, and just in time for the Madness Rumble!
Meadows takes to the turnbuckles to celebrate as we fade!
WINNER: LILITH MEADOWS
RESULT: SUBMISSION (DARK ENDING)
The scene opens up in a fancy restaurant. ISIS is sitting across the table from a woman (Calypso) who we’ve seen on television with ISIS once before. Appears they are having a good time. Realizing they are on camera, ISIS shifts her attention to the camera. She shifts her body to face the camera while Calypso focuses on the food on her plate. ISIS smiles.
ISIS: “You assume too much, Sakomoto.”
The God of Destruction shakes her head remembering the words Queen Sakomoto spoke last week.
ISIS: “I didn’t come for you a couple of weeks ago because I view you as weak. A foolish mortal would come to that conclusion. As you said yourself, you wasted no time capturing the Zion Wrestling Championship. Anyone who secured that prize, regardless of how many matches they lose in a row doesn’t qualify as weak. Women like Ashlynn and Faye. Especially Faye who had to run through constant roadblocks to get to Angel Kash. You dethroned her. No one else. For your accomplishments, you secured my respect.”
ISIS gently nods.
ISIS: “Why didn’t I come for you? I am a destroyer God. One of many. There is a higher power greater than I... Fate. Ultimately, I do as Fate commands. When Fate wants me to go after someone, I answer the call. Don’t know if Fate views you as a wounded animal or not. It is not my job to question the grand design. I am a mere force of nature doing what is required to restore the balance of the universe. That is what brought me to your doorstep. Not because I need you to establish my legacy in wrestling. Only a mere mortal would obsess over trivial matters, Sakomoto. Once we all return to the dirt from which we came, legacies won’t matter. Whatever impact we have on this world we can’t enjoy when we’re dead right? No point harkening on such ultimate trivial matters. The only thing that matters to me is you.”
ISIS points to the camera.
ISIS: “The only meaning you have in my life is to provide me a challenge. It wasn’t fun getting knocked out by you, Sakamoto. Once I regained my bearings, I smiled. Finally, someone worth fighting. We’re on a collision course. That much is clear. I can’t be anymore excited, know this, when we step in the ring one-on-one. You’ll learn in an instant your accomplishments, while impressive, won’t be enough to save you from this God. Will you call me insignificant when I put you down?”
ISIS winks. She shoos the camera away, returning to the dinner she was having with Calypso as the scene fades.
“Classy” Bianca Page is walking down Disneyland’s Main Street USA in Anaheim, California.
“Classy” Bianca Page:As I continue on my quest to rule the Mayhem world there is definitely an upgrade in competition. While it is true I am not that familiar with the “Walking Ray of Sunshine, “Your favorite wrestler’s favorite wrestler, “ “The Girl is on fire”, “The Firestarter”...
Bianca looks stunned.
“Classy” Bianca Page:Yikes, Ms. Darling. Got that pyromania vibe going on there, I see. Alright, sicko…Girl, I gotta ask…What is your major malfunction? Like seriously, you obviously got an obsession with fire but we both know the only thing that is hot about our matchup is me.
Bianca looks around at her surroundings.
“Classy” Bianca Page:It is clear to all of us that you are into that pyro life but you are also obsessed with the “Happiest Place on earth” as well. You fancy yourself a Disney Princess of sorts but let's be real, girl. You just don’t measure up to me because we all know a princess still has someone to answer to. Even the best Princess of them all still has to answer to the Queen.
Bianca cracks a devilish smile.
“Classy” Bianca Page:While you may have a career that is just fine we both know you’ll always fall short when you attempt to measure up against me. Because we all know where I am going. I am going straight up the Mayhem ladder and at some point I will be holding the Zion Wrestling Champion. While you are just around.
Bianca continues to walk down Main Street USA.
MATCH #4: BIANCA PAGE VS BLAZE DARLING
Darling advances to the center of the ring with Page, extending a hand out for a handshake! This, predictably, doesn’t go well however, with Page slapping away Darling’s hand before nailing her with a boot to the midsection! She throws Darling into the corner, before proceeding to lay in with Stomps that sink her further into the corner! She pulls Darling up by the hair, causing the official to step in and demand for her release! Page condescendingly obliges, pulling Darling out of the corner by her hair before releasing her locks by tossing her into the center of the ring! She then gets snarky with the official, returning with a demand for them to count the imminent pinfall attempt! Page hooks the leg, with Darling kicking out at two!
Page pulls Darling to her feet, looking to continue the assault! But Darling swats Page’s hands away, before unloading with a Forearm shot to the side of Page’s head! Page falters a bit, but remains vertical, returning fire with a Forearm of her own that sends Darling to the mat! Darling quickly reaches her feet again, rushing up and nailing Page with another Forearm! Page returns with a Forearm that knocks Darling down again! But The Firestarter lives up to her nickname, getting up quicker than last time to go for another Forearm! Page begins to tee off on Darling, pushing her back with repeated Forearms to the head! Darling finds another wind however, getting back into it with a European Uppercut, followed by mountains of Elbows and Chops that send Page back into the ropes!
Darling looks to send Page across the ring with an Irish Whip! But Page responds with an Irish Whip of her own, sending Darling into the ropes instead! Page hunches over, anticipating Darling’s return! But Darling catches her by surprise, leaping over Page and taking her to the mat with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! She quickly traps Page in a pin, caught in complete shock as the official actually counts the three! Darling gets the upset!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Blaze! Darling!
Darling jumps to her feet in shock, smiling as the referee raises her hand in victory! Page looks shocked as well, but as expected, that look of shock eventually morphs into rage! She jumps to her feet clubbing Darling from behind with a Double Ax Handle! She stomps relentlessly on Darling, before pulling her to her feet and throwing her out of the ring!
Winter Mae: What a sore loser in Bianca Page! Why can’t she just accept that she lost?!
Trick Morrison: This is a cold, hard dose of reality for Blaze Darling! Not every opponent is just gonna sit back to take it on the chin, especially not someone as decorated as Bianca Page!
Page stands tall amongst a booing audience as we fade.
WINNER: BLAZE DARLING
RESULT: PINFALL (SUNSET FLIP)
QUEEN Sakamoto: Fate brought you to my doorstep?
The air filled with a heinous chuckle. Crackles of static invade the screen before crystal images can be made out. A keen panoramic view of a ritzy conference room floods everyone’s pupils. The camera finally comes to halt when its lens lands on QUEEN.
QUEEN Sakamoto: No. I believe Fear sent you my way.
A shake of the head follows QUEEN adjusts her positioning.
QUEEN Sakamoto: Riddle me this ISIS. You have proclaimed that the Zion Wrestling Championship is your endgame. And do you know what the champion is doing at this current moment? Nothing. He is twiddling his thumbs. If you were truly confident in your abilities to succeed, you would have split his wig four times over. And yet, you are fucking with me.
An audible pop ripples through the air. The result of QUEEN snapping her fingers.
QUEEN Sakamoto: Do you know what that says to me? The heart of a self ordained deity doesn't believe that she can actually defeat Kasey, not yet. You’re afraid of the moment, ISIS. And wish to cover up jitter by placing the blame on Fate and Destiny? Disgusting.
Silence engulfs the room for a number of seconds before QUEEN speaks up once more.
QUEEN Sakamoto: Fate and I have never seen eye to eye. I’ve always defied her. And yet, you cannot seem to do that hmm? Not even with all your might. What does that say about you?
Her tried and true smirk starts to show itself.
QUEEN Sakamoto: Here is my advice to you, ISIS. I would assume that goddesses have vigorous grips? Therefore, grab a hold of the coattail that is dangling in front of your face and hold on for dear life. I shall drag you through the cosmos and beyond, just like I did all the others.
Another snap of the fingers ushers forth more static. The picture then becomes very dim.
In the Tingley Coliseum, Zara Ivory was at the guerilla position, waiting to head out for her match, the Gateway Championship slung over her shoulder and shining brightly. It was another open challenge, so she had no idea who she would be facing, but it didn’t really matter to her either way. The woman was standing with Marley Divata, though she was surprised that her cousin was there instead of back home after the week and weekend that she had. Not that she wasn’t thankful for her cousin being there since she was her manager and it was a title defense, but she wouldn’t have blamed her if she had skipped that week either.
Zara Ivory: I’m glad you’re here tonight, Marley. I’ll admit that I wouldn’t have blamed you if you stayed home though. It was a Hell of a week and weekend for you and Samuel, after all.
Marley gave Zara a small smile and shrugged a little.
Marley Divata: I wasn’t going to leave you on your own tonight. You’ve been on a roll the last few weeks, and I’m going to be here to see it continue. I am heading back home right after the show though. Are you ready for this match though?
Zara grinned and nodded lightly as she adjusted the Gateway Championship on her shoulder. She gave it a little pat before looked back at her cousin/manager.
Zara Ivory: Oh definitely. I said it on Twitter, and I’ll say it again…this is going to be one of the most sought after titles on Mayhem by the time I’m done with it. And my name will be synonymous with it as the best Gateway Champion that Mayhem has ever had. It doesn’t matter who comes out to that ring to face me…they won’t take me down.
Marley Divata: That’s what I want to hear! Let’s go out there and show them just who they’re fucking with! Give the other champions a reason to pay attention to you and worry about who you’re going to go after!
Zara nodded and gave Marley a quick hug before getting ready to head out for her match.
MATCH #5: ? ? ? VS ZARA IVORY ©
GATEWAY CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN CHALLENGE
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: And it is for the Zion Wrestling GATEWAY! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Introducing first…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Richmond, Virginia…weighing in at 131 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling GATEWAY! CHAMPION!...”Train Wreck”...Zara! Ivory!
Winter Mae: Time to see who’s gonna step forward to challenge The Chaotic Nightmare and her record breaking Gateway Championship reign!
Trick Morrison: These things always get me excited, Winter! Let’s see who it is!
Vivian Blake: And her opponent…from Tokyo, Japan…weighing in at 99 lbs…Sakura—
Sakura Matsuda makes her way out of the entry tunnel! But before she can take another step down the ramp, Maki Megumi rushes in from the other side of the stage, decking her from behind with a Forearm! We pick up on Megumi scolding Matsuda in her native tongue, telling her she doesn’t deserve another shot after she failed! She then proceeds to take to the ring, eager to steal the spot that Matsuda was after! Matsuda fights back however, with the two now coming to blows at ringside! Ivory decides to let the two murder each other as she climbs to the top turnbuckle to sit and wait for an opponent! The two however continue to brawl as we fade on the view of backstage personnel trying to pry them apart!
The scene cuts backstage as Reo Ojima, IKEDA, and Ryo are seen backstage talking in Japanese. The three Japanese Commentary personnel seem to be having a good time as the three laugh it up over something that was said. Ryo points to the camera and IKEDA and Reo turn around to see the camera. Reo pats Ryo and IKEDA on the shoulder and the two walk off as Reo turns around and addresses the camera in his native Japanese. Unfortunately for you English speaking individuals, there are NO subtitles.
Reo Ojima: It was only a matter of time till I brought ONI to Zion. I wanted a fresh start though in a new and young promotion. Play nice, sit back, and see how Zion would treat me. Months passed though and I never got the respect I deserved. Just another chess piece on the board. So IKEDA and I brought our ONI brand from Hyperfight over and now…..now we’re going to spice things up around here.
Reo cracks a grin as he takes a sip from a flask.
Reo Ojima: So who are you going to bring out to fight us Frenchy? Hmmmm? Someone that’s going to have your back? That has the same fire for revenge as you? I can’t wait to see who you bring out because I’m either going to be laughing my ass off because of your crappy choice, or impressed because you picked someone worthy of our time. Make it interesting because if they aren’t up to par….we’re going to eat you guys alive.
Reo lifts up an ONI mask and puts it over his face and stares into the camera for a few seconds before walking off.
::THEA ERZILI::
Considering that, generally speaking, there’s no wrist tape or anything involved in her ring attire, the fact that we cut backstage to find Théa Erzili simply sitting in a folding chair, wrapping one of her wrists, probably makes as much of a statement as she could ever need to. It’s sloppy, it’s loose, and inexperienced hands struggle to tear it off when she’s “finished,” but eventually, she manages it. And...just stares down at the ground; when she does finally speak, it’s in a lower tone than normal, in an attempted gravelly voice.
Théa Erzili: Une autre nuit, une autre perte de temps. Suis-je censé agir comme si j'étais excité pour ça ? Suis-je censé agir comme si c'était une grande opportunité? Pour jouer dans la boue avec...
As quickly as she starts trying this, she has to stop as trying to do the voice actually makes La Femme Destinée start coughing. She grabs a nearby water bottle and takes a quick drink from it, then shakes her head dismissively.
Théa Erzili: Monsieur Ojima, I really have to say...when I told you I would give you an opportunity, when I told you I would give you a chance to actually try to compete with me, I thought you would make it competitive. After two weeks of being embarrassed by a child, I would have thought you would want that opportunity to really make your statement, oui? But instead, you chose...to give me a partner, of my choosing. I gave you every opportunity to actually be that dominant force that you daydream of being, and you chose...to waste my time again.
Théa Erzili: Truly...truly incredible.
Théa Erzili: What, exactly, do you expect changes now? Shall I pretend to be afraid of the name you’ve given yourselves, hm? Would that make you feel like you’ve done what you wanted? Les Dieux have given me no reason to be afraid of you, but if it will settle your battered egos, I might humor you just to give you a taste of what you want. Because pour être honnête, the attempts thus far...
Théa shakes her head, dropping her gaze back to the floor, this time in less of an attempt to mimic ONI, but in a more morose, mournful way. She clicks her tongue against the roof of her mouth, pausing for just long enough that the cameraman might be forgiven for thinking she’s done, then brings her head back up.
Théa Erzili: Two losses to me weren’t enough, hm? Neither of you were good enough to put me away, but perhaps together, you make one of me, hm? The fact that you had to resort to ambushing me says everything it could possibly need to say for me, vous êtes pathétiques tous les deux and you can’t stomach that people like me have long since passed you by. You haven’t made anyone afraid, all you’ve done is annoy me--and waste my time. Le fait que je doive perdre une nuit avec ce non-sens est un cadeau pour toi, and I truly hope you appreciate it...car ce sera le seul que je te donnerai.
Théa Erzili: As I said after our last show--I have more interesting goals than you two, vous deux n'êtes rien pour moi, so tonight, when...
Interrupting the Masterpiece’s moment, is the door opening--and a smile cracks on her face for the first time since she started talking.
Théa Erzili: Ah, merveilleux de vous voir, cher.
Whoever it is, they don’t come into camera shot just yet, leaving Théa to finish her thought.
Théa Erzili: Tonight, when the same thing happens as has always happened? I want you to remember the lesson you should have learned from the past few weeks--perhaps it will finally sink in, perhaps you will finally understand...
Théa Erzili: Aucun de vous n'a quoi que ce soit capable d'éclipser un Masterpiece.
That loose, ragged wrist tape is the first thing Théa addresses, just grabbing a nearby pair of scissors and cutting it off before getting up and moving out of shot, although the camera can pick up an exchange in French between La Femme Destinée, and a male counterpart.
MAIN EVENT: ONI VS THEA ERZILI & ? ? ?
As we fade back to the ring, we’re treated to the sight of Maki Megumi & Sakura Matsuda still going at it! Zara Ivory decides to quit wasting her time, taking off from the ring and going up the ramp as officials finally pry the two apart!
Vivian Blake: The following tag team contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…at combined weight of 466 lbs…”The Stone Gargoyle” Reo Ojima…”The Walking Weapon” IKEDA…ONI!!
Ivory continues making her way up the ramp as ONI make their entrance, passing by and sharing a glance with Reo Ojima. Ojima seems less than impressed with her as he makes his way to the ring with IKEDA flanking him.
Vivian Blake: And their opponents, first…from New Orleans, Louisiana…weighing in at 147 lbs…”The Masterpiece”...Thea! Erzili!
Winter Mae: Thea Erzili has been tasked over the past week with finding a partner to aid her in combating the combined strength of ONI!
Trick Morrison: I wonder who she chose though, Winter! Thea Erzili is one of the best talents on the Zion roster! That tends to breed contemptment. I doubt just anyone would wanna partner up with her, and in fairness, I’m sure that’s exactly the way she prefers it!
Vivian Blake: And her tag team partner…from South Oropouche, Trinidad…weighing in at 205 lbs…Sparrow!
Winter Mae: Well there goes your answer right there, Trick!
Trick Morrison: This is probably the best pick possible, Winter! Sparrow is a multi-time champion in places like FGA and Liberty Pro! 100% a partner fit for The Masterpiece!
IKEDA starts in the ring with Erzili, with the two quickly going in for a lock up! Erzili quickly gets the upper hand, trapping IKEDA in a Side Headlock that he struggles to get out of! Erzili gets a bit cocky here, pointing and mocking IKEDA’s disheveled facial expression as he continues to try and escape the hold! Eventually he uses this hubris to get the better of her, pulling her up and dropping her to the mat with a Backdrop Driver! He quickly goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out By Erzili! IKEDA quickly ties her up, getting her in a Rear Chinlock! She twists out of it, sweeping IKEDA’s leg and taking him back first to the mat for a pin that doesn’t even glance a one count! Erzili pulls IKEDA to his feet, pulling him up on her shoulders and looking for a Samoan Drop! But IKEDA reverses, dropping from Erzili’s shoulders before pushing her shoulder first into the ring post! He follows up, pulling her out of the corner and right into his own, unloading with a Stomps before making the tag to Reo Ojima! He steps into the ring, continuing the work that IKEDA left for him with a few Stomps of his own! He pulls Erzili out of the corner at the count of the official, giving her a bit of airtime with a Biel Throw!
Erzili spots her chance off of this, reaching over to make the tag to Sparrow! But Ojima cuts this off, grabbing the extended arm of Erzili and quickly pulling her into Top Wristlock! Erzili has a harder time getting out of this hold, with Ojima cinching it in tight! She eventually pushes back, getting to a vertical base! She drives a few Elbows into Ojima’s midsection, before dropping down and finally warding him off with an Arm Drag! The two make it to their feet in unison, with Erzili nailing him with a Dropkick! Ojima staggers back into the corner with Erzili rushing over and catching him with an Enziguri before pulling him in and nailing him with an Exploder Suplex! Erzili with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Ojima! Erzili pulls Ojima to his feet, only for him to swat her hands away and unload with a Forearm Smash! Erzili stands her ground at the strike, nailing him with a Forearm of her own! Ojima returns with another Forearm, with Erzili answering with a European Uppercut that sends Ojima staggering into the corner once again! Erzili tries charging Ojima, who rushes out of the corner and turns her inside out with a Lariat! The two are on the mat now, crawling towards their respective corners! The race between them ends in a glorious tie, as Ojima and Erzili make their tags in sync, with IKEDA and Sparrow now the legal competitors in the match!
The two rush into the ring, with IKEDA looking to send Sparrow down with a Lariat right off the jump! But Sparrow reverses, catching the swinging arm of IKEDA and turning him around for an Enizguri! The kick sends IKEDA to a knee, with Sparrow taking advantage by hitting the ropes and nailing him with a Dropkick! He pulls IKEDA up to his feet, giving him a slight lift in a Suplex position before dropping him right into a Kick across the ribs! Sparrow proceeds to attempt to take IKEDA to the mat with a Legsweep, but The Walking Weapon gets wise to it and hops over, grabbing his opponent right off the mat for a Deadlift German Suplex! Sparrow lands on his feet off of it, however, jumping up and nailing a now seated IKEDA with a Hesitation Dropkick! Pin by Sparrow!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Pin broken up by Ojima! Erzili rushes in now, grabbing up Ojima and throwing him out of the ring over the top rope! Sparrow looks towards Ojima at ringside, then towards Erzili, who politely steps out of the way for clearance as she can see what he’s thinking of! He backs into the corner, running towards the ropes before vaulting over for a devastating Suicide Dropkick! Ojima looks to be out of it, as Sparrow slides into the ring to find IKEDA still hunched over and recovering! Sparrow approaches, only to realize that this was a trap set by IKEDA, who launches a jaw-rattling uppercut right into him when he gets in close enough! He staggers back, with IKEDA pushing him into the corner with a Shoulder Thrust! He unleashes a myriad of Chops to Sparrow’s chest, before rushing back into the opposite corner to return and level him with the Ikeda Kick!! Yakuza Kick connects!! He pulls Sparrow to the mat, going for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Sparrow! IKEDA looks to finish him off, going for Kizoku-No-Shi! But just as IKEDA pulls him in the Ripcord position, Sparrow gets a leg up to plunge into his chest to send him back! IKEDA falls to the corner, not having the strength in him to get up from a kneeling position! This is just the angle Sparrow needs as he rushes towards him and nails him with Love TKO!! Shining Axe Kick right into the turnbuckle! He rolls IKEDA out of the corner with Erzili calling for the tag! He gives it to her, with The Masterpiece hopping into the ring as Sparrow throws IKEDA into her waiting arms! She quickly takes him to the mat with X-Caliber! Reverse Swinging STO connects! Erzili with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Ojima tries to break up the pin, but Sparrow intercepts. The two jockey for position aside the attempted pinfall!
THREE-
NO! With one brief burst of energy, Ojima is able to pounce Sparrow forward, sending them both crashing into the pin! Sparrow and Ojima continue to fight with one another, with Ojima seemingly unraveling his hand to pass something to IKEDA as the brawl is taken outside of the ring! The brawl continues, with the official focusing his attention on getting the two to cut it out! Meanwhile in the ring, IKEDA seems to be fiddling with the object Ojima passed him, with Erzili eventually pulling him up and looking for the Warp Gate! However, she’s quickly taken by surprise, as IKEDA nails her with a shot that knocks her clean to the mat! A closer look by the camera reveals a pair of brass knuckles wrapped around IKEDA’s hand! He quickly throws them out, going for the pin as the referee’s attention is called back into the ring!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Sparrow tries to rush into the ring, but Ojima is hot on his tail, continuing to fight him back at ringside!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…ONI!
Winter Mae: ONI steals away a victory tonight against a formidable team in Thea Erzili and Sparrow!
Trick Morrison: Defeating The Masterpiece is no small feat! She may be a smart competitor, but it seems as though IKEDA and Reo Ojima had just a little more up their sleeve tonight!
Ojima and IKEDA celebrate on the ramp, their hands being held high by the official! Meanwhile, Sparrow takes to the ring to check on Erzili, a look of absolute fury lining her face as she checks her head for further damage! We fade to black tonight on the image of ONI standing tall at the top of the entrance ramp, the camera zooming into the ONI flag the two are holding together!
WINNERS: ONI
RESULT: PINFALL (BRASS KNUCKLES)
