And now...Zion Wrestling presents...MADNESS!!
We're taken inside a sold out MGM Grand Garden Arena, where a load of pyro goes off across a stage lined with three giant LED trons! The crowd is raging as we cut to the commentary booth, where Winter Mae and Trick Morrison are standing by!
Winter Mae: Tonight...30 men and women will enter this ring, all with the same goal! Only one of them will be able to get a one-way ticket to their Destiny however, and that person is going to be the one who can rise through the chaos! Welcome everyone...to Madness! I'm Winter Mae from Mayhem, starting off the broadcast with none other than Trick Morrison!
Trick Morrison: This is set to be an absolutely crazy and historic night! So much is set to go down, and it's all topped off with my personal favorite match of the year, The Madness Rumble! Here we go!
The cameras fire up backstage, where we can see the Zion Wrestling champion, Kasey Kash, sat in a corner of the arena, hood up, and championship laid across his lap.
”You know… a lot can happen in two months… I had a couple steady sources of income two months ago, fuck I was a major champ in two promotions simultaneously, and still… still that didn’t seem to get me the attention I craved.”
Kasey adjusts, sitting more upright as he continues to look down at the championship across his lap.
”So… so what did I do? I gave myself the attention I deserve. I cashed in the briefcase I was lugging around, I won this… still… still that wasn’t enough for some people. Still I got called second fiddle… still I got overlooked by others… so what happens next? Well… that’s where Elijah comes into the picture.”
”You see, Elijah… you have something I want… something that two other people in this match want… but something I’m willing to kill over… can anyone else in this match say the same? You see…”
Kasey pushes his hood back as he continues to look at his championship in front of him.
”I have a wife and kid at home… and this… this is what I’m doing to keep food on our table… winning belts like this is what I do to insure that we keep on thriving in this fucked up world… and now I got three people that want to take it all from me! Take everything I’ve poured my blood… my sweat… and my fucking tears into and they want it… for what? So they can hang it, in their stupid fucking office room? Maybe… maybe even they can use it and go on a stupid fucking press tour. Let me tell you all something, however.”
At this point, Kasey looks at the camera.
”I am not letting anyone… anyone at all… take my fucking belt from me. I have worked too fucking hard to keep. That I have held for just over a month… nah… nah fuck the lot of you. This isn’t the BWF. You ain’t ruining my championship run with some bullshit fatal four way that got thrown together because two people didn’t wanna wait their turn. This… is MY moment… and I’ll do everything… EVERYTHING… in my power to keep it that way.”
With that, Kasey stands and picks up his belt, before he then walks out of frame and the scene fades..
We see Eden Sterling tying up her boots in her locker room when her tag team partner Ashlynn Cassidy walks in and the two trade a look and the two first bump one another before Eden goes back to lacing up her boots.
Ashlynn Cassidy : You ready for this? You ready for your big shot here Eden?
Eden just chuckles to herself.
Eden Sterling : What was the hype saying for the match? Guaranteed chaos? Something like that. Well. What people don't realize is that I was born into this. I thrive in this, I watched mayhem and chaos my entire life. You could say I had a mentor in that department. So if there is anyone in this match whom is going to be able to control the chaotic energy, it's me. And listen…
Eden takes a breath.
Eden Sterling : I have complete understanding how big this match is. Probably one of the biggest in my career. You remember when I challenged you over a year ago when you held that Zion Championship?
Ashlynn nods, a small note of sadness in her face.
Eden Sterling : You've seen up close how much of a different competitor I am since then. We have have been predominantly a tag team here in Zion this year, but make no mistakes, I want this. I'm ready for this.
Ash pats Eden on the shoulder, nodding again at her.
Eden Sterling : I will admit this past year hasn't been the easiest on me. On us. After we got stripped of our Mayhem Tag Team Championships and sent to Fusion, we never completely found out groove, did we? Try as we might, things never quite fell in place. I do have to tell you something, it felt pretty dang good hitting Killer Instinct on Elijah. Pinning him felt fantastic. And I'm looking to try and continue that momentum.
Ashlynn takes a seat near her and begins going through her bag.
Ashlynn Cassidy : I bet. I bet.
Eden nudges her friend.
Eden Sterling : Good luck in the Madness Rumble yourself.
Ashlynn Cassidy : Yeah, that'll be tough.
Eden Sterling : Don't I know it.
Ashlynn Cassidy : You know this match will be different than that tag match on Mayhem, it'll be every one for themselves.
Eden nods.
Eden Sterling : I know. Elijah is going to get the win with doing as little as possible. Usually some underhanded means. Thalia Starks will be a scrappy fighter. And we all know Kasey Kash won't go down with our a fight. But I think what they need to realize. And I'll paraphrase Kasey here.
She clears her throat before she speaks once more.
Eden Sterling : You can't kill Eden Sterling!
The two start a small giggle fit before they calm each other down. Eden moves to grab a black tee shirt from her bag. There she pulls it over and straightens it out, we can see it reads "Uncrowned No More" across the front. Ashlynn takes a moment to look at it, nodding in appreciation of it. The two first bump once more before Eden exits the room on her way down the hall. Fade.
