We open to a darkened room with very little light and all that can be made out is a single wooden stool set in the middle of said room. After a few moments, we see a figure walk into frame using the aid of a walking stick as they proceed to sit down on the stool. A projector then starts up from behind the camera, illuminating the face of the figure who now can be seen to be Dr. Castiel Talbot, with the imagery on the projector that hits the wall behind him as well as the man himself depicts a human brain slowly rotating.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The human brain is such a fascinating and mysterious organ. So fascinating and mysterious that even now, there are still so many aspects of it that we simply cannot comprehend or understand.
The doctor rests both of his hands atop his cane.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The need for violence…
Clips of Diamond Steele and Kasey Kash putting themselves and their opponents through pain and suffering play on the projector.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The need for chaos…
Clips of Zara Ivory and Risa Saito putting their bodies on the line play on the projector.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The need for supremacy…
Clips of Bianca Page and Blaze Darling obtaining victories plays on the projector.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The need for gold…
Clips of The Deathriders and The Regulators battling one another plays on the projector.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The need for respect…
Clips of Oni, Nami Megumi, Thea Erzili and Sakura Matsuda going to war with one another plays on the projector.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: You all understand I’m sure. As I said… the human brain is a fascinating and mysterious organ.
Now the projector shifts completely to showing brief clips of the horror movie icons, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Take horror icons Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees for example. Now, while we certainly do not condone the despicable things these two have done, a part of us feels sorry for them for what they have been through. And many would argue that the terrible things that happened to them… caused them to become the monsters they became. Others would also claim that they were vastly misunderstood and that society as a whole was the catalyst to them becoming those monsters. And that? That really fascinates me.
Clips of the issues that have been happening between Samuel Lopez and Ryan Peters begin to play on the projector now.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Which of course brings me to my dear Samuel and Mr. Peters. Much like Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Myers… while I do not always condone what Samuel does… the way he does things and why he does things? It fascinates me. And unfortunately for you, Mr. Peters? Tonight in the House of Wax match? I honestly have no idea what my dear Samuel will do to you… and yet I shall watch what he does to you with intrigue. Much like how all of you, the Zion fans, shall watch all of these amazingly talented men and women with intrigue as they put their bodies on the line for your entertainment.
He chuckles a little as the projector cuts off.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: The human brain is a fascinating and mysterious organ. And now it’s time for you all… to Enjoy… the Silence.
And with that said, we cut to the show.

And now...Zion Wrestling Presents...Mayhem: Enjoy The Silence
We fade into a sold out Sun Arena! 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 are here in Ise just a couple weeks off from Valentine’s Day, and it feels like we’re in Spooky Season already! Welcome…to Mayhem: Enjoy The Silence! I’m Winter Mae, joined as always by my partner, Trick Morrison!
Trick Morrison: Winter, I have been feeling goosebumps about every match on the card tonight, including our main event! This is set to be a classic card, just you wait and see!
Vivian Blake: The following tag team contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: And it is for the Zion Wrestling TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Introducing first, the challengers…at a combined weight of 304 lbs…the team of Sadie Cassidy and Jane Adler…Regulators! Incorporated!
And their opponents…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Dallas, Texas…at a combined weight of 228 lbs…they are the Zion Wrestling TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONS!...Kaya and Lilith Parker…THE! DEATHRIDERS!
Our opening bell sees Kaya and Sadie tying up, as Kaya takes Sadie down with a side headlock takeover, as Sadie would transition into a headscissor to escape. She adds pressure, though, Kaya turns the move over into an ankle lock, but Sadie would roll through to escape. She rushed in for a clothesline, but, Kaya ducked and hits Sadie with a single leg dropkick on the rebound. She would follow up with a reverse chin lock on Sadie, before transitioning into some hammer and anvil elbows to her to wear Sadie down.
She would move Sadie over to get a tag in to Lilith, as Kaya bounced off the second rope to do a tandem back suplex and clothesline to Cassidy, which gets polite applause from the Japanese crowd.. She bridged for a cover…
ONE...!
TWO...!
Cassidy kicked out, as Lilith would grip her wrist, holding her steady for some stomps to the chest. She attacked her until Sadie would catch her foot to trip her down. She gets to her feet as fast as she can, as Sadie runs to the opposite ropes, before lunging with a flying forearm smash to regain momentum. She gets Lilith up, and clocked her with an elbow to the face, before tagging in Jane. Jane gets on Bret's Rope, as Sadie would lift Lilith up to bounce on the ropes with a slingshot suplex, followed up by a pinpoint elbow drop and a cover.
ONE...!
TWO...!
No! Kickout by Lilith Parker. Jane would make a tag to Sadie, as she goes to put Lilith in a Figure-Four Leglock to keep her in place. Sadie would leap off with a top rope splash, as another pin attempt is made.
ONE...!
TWO...!
Another kickout by Lilith, as Sadie would look surprised at the offense she has taken so far and fought through. She would get Lilith up to her feet and tried her stalling Brainbuster DDT, but, Lilith shifted her weight to counter, before landing on her feet for a swinging neckbreaker. She would drag Sadie closer to the Deathriders' corner and tagged Kaya back in. Lilith would bring Sadie up with a powerbomb, as Kaya leapt up for the combination backstabber, and a pin.
ONE...!
TWO...!
THR-
Kickout at the last fraction of a second by Sadie. Kaya would yell at Sadie for the transgression, as she gets down to grab her hair and spike the back of her head against the mat, while she tried to kick free. Kaya would get Sadie back to her feet, but, she would catch Kaya and hits her with a kneeling jawbreaker to stun her, as she staggered backward, and accidently clocking the referee with her elbow to knock them down briefly. Sadie would rush toward Jane for a hot tag, as Lilith blind tagged herself in and runs straight into a bicycle kick from Jane Adler. She would keep running the ropes, as she hits Lilith with another clothesline that knocked her down. She waits for Lilith to get back to her feet, before catching her with a Manhattan Drop and a Scoop Slam combination. She raised her arm, looking for the support of the crowd, however the Japanese crowd was quiet for them, as it was a bit of a culture shock to Jane. Outside the ring, Kaya would slide some brass knuckles to Lilith, and she was about to grab them, but Jane stepped on her hand to stop her. She would look at the knuckles, as Jane goes to hand them to the official, as they were dazed to try and explain the situation. However, this had given Lilith time to recover, as she blitzed Jane with a bicycle knee to the side of the head when she turned around. She goes down hard, as Kaya rushed over to play defense while Jane was pinned.
ONE...!
TWO...!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winners of this match…and STILL Zion Wrestling TAG TEAM! CHAMPIONS!...THE! DEATHRIDERS!
Winter Mae: The Deathriders claim their first defense at the expense of Regulators, Inc here tonight!
Trick Morrison: They gave it their best effort, but it wasn’t enough! The Deathriders went through hell getting those things! It’s gonna take a hell of a team to have a chance at taking it from them!
Winter Mae: Whoa! What are they doing here!
Trick Morrison: It looks just about anything can happen when it’s Destiny Season!
“I hope ur miserable until ur dead” begins to play as former Zion Wrestling Tag Team Champions, BFG, enter through the entry tunnel! The two stare down the current champions, their intentions made clear as we fade!
WINNERS: THE DEATHRIDERS (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: PINFALL (SUPERKNEE SLINGSHOT)
“Classy” Bianca Page is sitting in a chair and looking out of a window of her private jet.
“Classy” Bianca Page:I hope you have been enjoying your time out in the spotlight, Blaze? Because we know there hasn’t been anytime before this in your wrestling career and there won’t be anytime after this, Blaze, that you will be relevant at all. You’re welcome, Blaze.
Bianca chuckles to herself.
“Classy” Bianca Page:The facts speak for themselves. We all saw how she cheated the last time we were in the ring together but I’ll be rectifying that on Monday. It is as simple as that, Blaze. Now you may think differently, Blaze, and I respect that but what gives you the audacity to think otherwise? Is it because you feel the need to puff your chest out to proclaim you are the very best in the world? Go ahead and do your thing, girl, but I am going to have to be the one to bring you back down to reality. Because just as the old saying of being a stepping stone goes I am damn sure going to make that hold true for you being that stepping stone.
Bianca sits back into her seat.
“Classy” Bianca Page:I know this because I know you don’t have what it takes mentally to make your dreams come true, Blaze. All that talking you do is just noise while all my success will do my talking and that is why you along with the rest of the marks all around the world hate on me. That is why my prophecy of being the Zion Champion of Champions.
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…from Manhattan, New York…weighing in at 130 lbs…”Classy”! Bianca! Page!
And her opponent…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Anaheim, California…weighing in at 125 lbs…Blaze! Darling!
Trick Morrison: This is the moment I’ve personally been waiting for! Now we get to see Bianca Page finally take out the trash that is Blaze Darling!
Winter Mae: I don’t think this is gonna be as easy for Page as you think, Trick! Blaze Darling seems to be a woman on a mission tonight!
Darling very rapidly approaches Page, who jumps through the ropes and exits the ring as soon as she senses danger nearby! The crowd boos Page so loudly she can hardly hear the referee demanding she climb back into the ring! Page bargains with the official, telling them that she’ll only re-enter the ring once they back Darling off! Wanting to keep the match going, the official budges to Page’s demands, telling Darling to back up as she re-enters the ring! This strategy is effective for all of a few seconds before Page rolls out of the ring as Darling approaches again! The boos now get louder as Page once again stalls! Page takes a walk around the ringside area, posturing as she does, Darling has enough of this, hitting the ropes before leaping out of the ring to take down Page with a Suicide Dive!
Darling pulls Page back to her feet, dragging her across the ringside area before ramming her head straight into the ring steps! Page staggers away, hoping to get a bit of distance between herself and her opponent! But Darling is right on top of her, throwing her into the barricade! She finally throws Page back into the ring at the behest of the official, before climbing back in after her! Page has the chance to get to her knees, with Darling trying to keep her momentum going by pulling her back to her feet! But Page retaliates instantly, digging into Darling’s midsection with a Forearm! She gets to her feet, grabbing Darling by the head before ramming it straight into the top turnbuckle! She proceeds to lay into Darling with a series of Kicks, leading her to crumble to a seated position in the corner! The official pulls Page away from Darling, but she gets right back on her with Facewash! She rolls her out of the corner, before going for the first pin attempt of the match!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Darling! Page stays on top of her, snaring her into a Rear Chinlock right off the pin! Darling struggles for a moment, with the fans’ energy being just what she needs to twist herself up to a vertical position! She clubs Page in the midsection with a few strikes before finally sending her off with an Elbow Strike! Page staggers away, before rushing back towards Darling to try and get her back down again! But Darling dodges the attack, sending Page into the ropes before following her with a Dropkick against them! Page staggers towards her opposition, with Darling managing to hoist her up onto her shoulders and plant her in the center of the ring with an Air Raid Crash! Pin by Darling!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Page! Darling looks to finish this off, looking for One Jump Ahead! But Page slips out of the Pumphandle position, dropping to the mat and bringing Darling’s shoulders to the mat with a Schoolboy Roll Up!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Darling kicks out, but that’s hardly the end of it! Page begins to lift Darling off the Schoolboy, pulling her up into a Powerbomb position! Page almost sends her down but Darling is having none of it, drilling Page with a few shots to the top of the head before sending her over the top rope and to the floor with a Headscissor! She sees a perfect opportunity to fly, hitting the ropes before spiking Page’s head to the concrete with I2I! Suicide DDT connects!! Darling tries to pull Page to her feet, but by this point, she’s deadweight! She finally gets Page back into the ring, before deciding to fly again! She takes to the top rope, looking for a 450 Splash! But Page has had some time to recover, getting the knees up just in time to plunge them into Darling’s torso! Darling is reeling to the mat as Page quickly swoops in like a vulture, pulling her off the canvas before dropping her right back down into it with the ”Binx” Brainbuster! Page with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Darling! Page is infuriated by the resiliency of her opponent! She tries to focus, climbing back to her feet and going towards the corner! Darling tries to shake off the cobwebs, but Page lays into her with a few stomps to keep her at bay! She takes to the top rope, looking for Pure Elegance! But Darling gets out of the way, leaving Page to hit all mat as she goes for the Corkscrew Moonsault! Darling slowly realizes she has Page right where she wants her, going for the corner as she gets to her feet! She launches from the turnbuckles, nailing Page with One Way or Another! Tornado DDT! What Darling doesn’t spot, however, is how Page subtly pushed them both a bit far out in the process, causing Darling’s swinging legs to clip the side of the referee’s head and knocking them to the mat! Darling becomes disparaged as she goes for the clear three count, only to find the official incapacitated! She tries to wake the referee up as Page rolls out of the ring! It finally seems as though the official is coming to, as Darling exits the ring to try and get Page up as well! She’s caught by surprise however, as Page unloads on her with a shot from a steel chair! Darling is knocked loopy, trying to find her balance against the ring post, with Page rushing in and nailing her with a chair shot against that as well!
Darling is completely out of it at this point, with Page throwing her back into the ring and going for the pin! She gets a handful of Darling’s tights and even goes as far as to get her feet on the ropes for leverage! Yet all of this goes unnoticed by the official, who barely manages the physicality needed to count the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…Bianca! Page!
Winter Mae: Oh boy…here it comes…
Trick Morrison: HAHA! YES!! I told you! I told all you that Bianca Page was going to do the right thing and dispose of Blaze Darling!
Winter Mae: And there it is…be that as it may, Bianca Page, with the help of A LOT of tactics manages to pull off the win against Blaze Darling!
Trick Morrison: Don’t you try to disparage the victory of the beautiful Bianca Page, Winter?! Are you out of your mind?!
Page celebrates, with the crowd booing her method victory as we fade!
WINNER: BIANCA PAGE
RESULT: PINFALL (REPEATED CHAIR SHOTS)
Zara Ivory: The life of a wrestler is never truly calm, is it? We battle through schedules most wouldn’t dream about having. We fight through injuries and travel schedules that would drive a saint to curse. But we do this because it was our calling, because we love being in the ring.
Zara Ivory was backstage with Marley Divata, ready to go for her Gateway Championship defense against Risa Saito. It was no secret to her that the crowd would be behind Risa for this match, and it didn’t fully bother her. She knew what she was going to be going into when she agreed with Risa accepting her call for challengers. The champion glanced over at her cousin and grinned a little.
Zara Ivory: When I made the call on Twitter for more challengers, for more defenses to break yet another record as the Gateway Champion, I can honestly say that I wasn’t expecting a fellow Queen of Chaos to answer that call. But I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, should I? We are the highest of elites in wrestling today…the top dogs that dominate wherever we decide is allowed to have our presence known.
Zara paused long enough to move a few loose strands of hair out of her face as Marley nodded in agreeance with her. With the championship on her shoulder, Zara stood a little straighter, her posture immediately changing.
Zara Ivory: I’ve been the Gateway Champion for over 4 months now, Risa. Tonight will mark my 5th defense…and while this is not denying your skill or what you’ve accomplished by any means whatsoever, when I win tonight, I’ll be tied for the most successful defenses. I’ve been with Zion for a little over a year and have managed to accomplish this feat…after tonight, I’m going to continue and be the most dominant Gateway Champion to date.
The women looked up when they heard Zara’s name being called, signaling that it was almost time to go for the match. She licked her lips lightly and then looked at the camera that was there, seemingly having a little more to say before leaving.
Zara Ivory: Tonight, I’m facing a fellow Queen…the daughter of a Japanese legend, a legend in and of herself, and I couldn’t be more honored to do so. Let’s give them a match to remember, Risa. Let’s tear the house down tonight!
With that, Zara pushed off of the equipment crate she had been leaning against then nodded her head, motioning for Marley to follow her. It was time to give the crowd what they were waiting for, after all.
The scene opens in a dimly lit room. ISIS, the God of Destruction, is sitting down on the floor in a meditative pose. Her eyes are closed. Making us wait for a couple seconds, she opens her eyes, staring into the camera with stoic intent.
ISIS: “Everyone has a plan. You hear it all the time... Person A goes, I wanted to become a doctor until x-event torpedoed my life, leading me down a different path I wasn’t banking on. That’s fate in the end, the invisible hand directing us to our ultimate destination in life. Link. You had plans of becoming the Gateway Champion. Victory was in your grasp, until your x-event happened. I was sent to prevent you from winning championship gold for the first time in your career.”
“Are you disappointed? Are you wondering why fate could be so cruel? I don’t have the answer to that, Link. Maybe it wasn’t your fate to become a successful professional wrestler, maybe it was your fate to not add to the Andrews dynasty. Or the simple answer, your fate was to be destroyed by me. I am a God of Destruction. Seeing my face is an indication of what Fate wants me to do. This was written in the stars. See you again, Link, we’re not done yet.”
ISIS snaps her fingers. Scene fades to black.
Vivian Blake: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Gateway Championship!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first, the challenger, hailing from Chicago, Illinois…she is The Cosmic Swan…RISA SAITO!!!
The crowd blew up at the introduction of their countrywoman, and Vivian had to pause a moment to wait for them to calm down before continuing.
Vivian Blake: Introducing next, accompanied to the ring by Marley Divata and hailing from Richmond, Virginia, the champion…she is The Chaotic Nightmare…ZARA IVORY!!!
Before the bell sounded, Zara and Risa shook hands in the middle of the ring, a sign of respect between the two Queens of Chaos. While ready for the match, it was clear that Zara was not 100% after the match she had at the 2nd Denzel Porter Invitational the previous evening. The bell sounded and the two women wasted no time in locking up in the center of the ring. Even with the size difference, Risa was able to get an advantage with a quick leg sweep, sending the champion down to the mat. Ivory didn’t stay down long, though, and was quickly back to her feet only to be met with a hard roundhouse kick to the side of the head. Anyone that had watched the DPI the night before knew that she had taken a few hard shots to the head, including a vicious DDT onto the concrete floor, so the kick sent her stumbling back considerably but not down. Ivory shook the cobwebs away just in time to dodge a running missile dropkick from Saito.
Crowd: RISA-CHAN! RISA-CHAN! RISA-CHAN!
The referee briefly checked on Zara who immediately shoved him away, assuring them all that she was fine. She had been rattled a little previously but not enough to avoid taking advantage of the downed Saito. Pulling the smaller woman to her feet, Ivory quickly whipped her into the opposite corner. Running after the woman, Ivory grabbed her and tossed her back with a hard monkey flip. Having momentum in her corner, the champion wasted no time in following after her, following up the flip with a vicious clothesline, but Risa slid down to duck the clothesline attempt! The crowd cheered loudly for their countrywoman as Saito got back to her feet and nailed Ivory with a hard European uppercut to the jaw! Zara rubbed at her jaw, a small glimmer of frustration crossing her face though it quickly disappeared. She knew that she was going to have a Hell of a match her on hands when Risa answered her call for more challengers. The two women circled each other for a few seconds before Risa came at Zara, looking to nail her with an Uraken. The champion showed off her flexibility with a Matrix-style backbend evasion that she turned into a harsh kick to the back before Risa could turn around!
Before she could fully straighten herself out, from the move, Zara was caught with an enzuigiri from Risa! Once more she had to shake the cobwebs off as she got to her feet, but she was too late to avoid the codebreaker that Saito came at her with! The smaller woman was quick to climb the turnbuckle, making sure that Ivory hadn’t gone anywhere before she leaped off for Heavens Fall! The stomp connected, Saito went for the pin attempt, and the referee slid to the mat to start the count.
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
No! Zara got her shoulder up before the referee’s hand came down for the final count! The crowd groaned in disappointment for Risa, hoping to see their countrywoman get the win and the title in front of them. There was some frustration written on Saito’s face as she looked at the referee and then back to Zara, but it didn’t deter her. She got back to her feet and began getting Ivory back to hers as well, but the champion thought quickly and brought Risa’s chin down on the top of her head, stunning her challenger just long enough. The brief stun gave Zara the chance to nail Risa with a spinning heel kick, sending her reeling and stumbling back for a moment. That moment was all that was needed as Zara backed herself up before charging at Risa, nailing her with Team of Misfits! Ivory wasted little time in quickly climbing the ropes, almost immediately leaping off for an attempt at Violence Causes Silence! The move connected, and Zara immediately went for the pinfall!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE…!
Vivian Blake: Here is your winner and STILL the Gateway Champion…“The Chaotic Nightmare” Zara Ivory!!
After Zara’s arm was raised by the referee, she moved towards Risa and extended her hand to help the woman to her feet. After pulling her up, Ivory raised Saito’s arm as well then gave her fellow Queen a hug.
WINNER: ZARA IVORY (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: PINFALL (VIOLENCE CAUSES SILENCE)
A cameraman walks to Mayhem's backstage where he finds Maki Megumi, IKEDA and Reo Ojima chatting aloud with beer bottles in their hands as they notice an uninvited guest stepping over them, Maki immediately got up before pulling cameraman close to them.
Maki Megumi: I'm feeling the urge to talk about my sister right now. You're here, I'll give a message to my sister. I would like to officially say welcome back. And I told you, no matter what, you can't escape the truth of how weak you are. I guess you really want to get your revenge on me. But don't forget, Nami, you're the reason we failed. You're the reason we're left with nothing You're going to blame me for betraying you like that? What you should do in the first place is blame yourself. Because no matter if you come back, you will still fail as before. Will you blame yourself for losing because of me? Because I disturbed your concentration like that? If you weren't so weak you wouldn't have lost to last week's QUEEN Sakamoto, Nami, you should know that you're just fooling yourself day by day that you're the best here. You should have realized where you were. You're not at a high level. You're not even at the intermediate level. You are below that level. that's a fact You don't have me, you're just Nami. Weak Megumi, look back to when we were on the same team. If you had let me do what I would have done in the first place, I wouldn't have betrayed you. But because of your arrogance Because your narcissism brought you to this point Someday you'll know that there's no one who wants you better than me, Nami, but remember that I betrayed you because you were weak. Let's just say come back this time and since you want to take revenge on me. You think you can get rid of me. I'll let you try until you give up, Nami, what I want most is to see you give up on me. And it will start from our encounter again tonight. You must not forget that you have never beaten me even a single match.
The camera pans over to Reo as he places his bottle on the table and starts to address the camera.
Reo Ojima: I guess I’ll give Sakura Matsuda and Thea Erzili some love since we haven’t talked about them yet.
Reo pauses as he inhales his cigar and blows the smoke up in the air.
Reo Ojima: I guess I should thank you Frenchy for bringing ONI here in Zion. I’ve had ONI over in other wrestling promotions like NVR, Hyperfight, and Yamashi….but I hadn’t brought it here yet to Zion. Then around the time that we first faced off I wasn’t having fun here in Zion. Bad booking, terrible cards, and having to do commentary on crappy matches. My morale was low. So I did the one thing I knew that could make me happy…bringing ONI to Zion. Now look at me. Drinking and laughing with friends, beating up jabroni’s, and making fun of wrestlers in commentary with people I like to be around. So I guess I should thank you Frenchy for starting this whole thing off. So to show my appreciation, we’re going to beat your ass and then pour some French wine over your unconscious body. As for Sakura, you’re just a disappointment.
Reo places the cigar back in his mouth and gives a chuckle as he slaps IKEDA on the back.
IKEDA: Listen, I think in the short term ONI has been a success in Zion. We've gone from me not seeing screen time a couple months ago and Reo here getting the random title shot to ONI showing a united front, making this crew try to rise up and stand against us. And we are just getting started.
IKEDA chuckles to himself as he pulls his sunglasses off.
IKEDA: That said, it's quite the rag tag band of misfits trying to do it. I mean have you seen this Matsuda girl. She's what? 100 pounds soaking wet? I've had sneezes more fearsome than her. I'm sure she'll try to put up a fight but you see, what can she do that we can't counter? What is she going to throw at us we haven't seen before? Reo and myself, we've been doing this a long time and feel very little remorse for our actions. This…this shouldn't be any different. ONI isn't for the weak. We cull out the weak d leave only the strong behind. So get up to speed or get run over. Simple as that.
All three members of ONI nod to one another, take another swig from their beer bottles and IKEDA motions for the camera to buzz off.
Vivian Blake: The following trios contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: Introducing first…from New Orleans, Louisiana…weighing in at 147 lbs…she is The Masterpiece…Thea! Erzili!
Next, from Tokyo, Japan…weighing in at 99 lbs…Sakura! Matsuda!
And their partner…from Okinawa, Japan…weighing in at 104 lbs…”The Cosmic Bird”...Nami! Megumi!
And their opponents…at a combined weight of 587 lbs…the team of Maki Megumi, IKEDA, and Reo Ojima…ONI!
Winter Mae: This is definitely quite the team put together to stop ONI in its tracks! Sakura Matsuda and Nami Megumi are banding with Thea Erzili, who’s had her own problems with ONI as of late!
Trick Morrison: On top of that, though, The Masterpiece is not quite known for being a team player, at least with a team like this! It’ll be interesting to see these three go against a game ONI tonight!
Megumi’s sisters starting for their team as Maki represent for Oni and Nami represent for her team as Maki slowly approaching Nami with wicked smile as she slowly run her hand on Nami’s hair while Nami staring dagger in Maki before slap her hand away and Nami connects with a Back Kick to Maki’s stomach making Maki falls down to her knees and Nami heading to the rope and bounce the rope back but Maki counters with a Clotheslines!

The scene starts up backstage, where we can see Kasey Kash in his ring gear ready for his match against Diamond Steele, which is up next.
”...I just… don’t… get it.”
Kasey chuckles, and begins pacing back and forth in the hall.
”I seriously don’t fucking get it. I give everything… EVERYTHING… and people still want to give this cunt a fucking underdog story. People think I chose Diamond because I think she’s a threat to my reign… they don’t understand… I didn’t choose her for that. I didn’t choose her because she was one of my first rivalries in Zion… no no no…”
“...I chose her because I fucking LOVE to play the spoiler… and doing this to Diamond… making her best friend watch her squirm and writhe around on the floor in pain while she can’t do a single fucking thing about it?”
Kasey smirks.
”It’s the biggest rush you can fucking experience. Diamond… you’re going to become a martyr. I’m going to end your career, potentially your fucking life, on television… you are not winning this match. Matter of fact, you have a fucking snowballs chance in hell of winning this match. You… you were chosen by me, so I can send a fucking message.”
Kasey takes a half step forward towards the camera.
”The world will remember your name until the end of time, Diamond… but not for any of your achievements… for what I’m about to do to you.”
With that, Kasey walks out of frame, and the scene fades to ringside.
Vivian Blake: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vivian Blake: And it is for the Zion Wrestling UNDISPUTED! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Introducing first, the challenger…representing The Queens of Chaos…from London, England…weighing in at 110 lbs…”The Siren”! Diamond! Steele!
And her opponent…from Canberra, Australia…weighing in at 165 lbs…he is the Zion Wrestling UNDISPUTED! CHAMPION!...KASEY! FUCKING! KASH!!
Steele looks to grapple off the bell, with Kash being surprisingly receptive to this! Kash quickly gets the advantage over Steele, clearly looking to beat her at her own game! He brings her to the mat with a Side Headlock Takeover! She reverses, getting a Headscissor on a Kash! He kicks out before the referee can start a count, with the two getting to their feet in unison! They lock up again, with Steele now getting a Side Headlock in on Kash! Kash backs her into the ropes, looking to push her off! But Steele is able to keep control, getting to a knee to stall momentum and keeping the hold intact! Kash tries another route of exit, pulling Steele up and looking for a Back Suplex! But Steele flips to her feet off the attempted move! She pushes Kash towards the ropes from behind, pulling him back down for an O’Connor Roll Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Kash! The two once again get up to their feet, with Steele looking to grapple once more! This time however, Kash doesn’t humor any of Steele’s tactics, hitting her straight out with a boot to the midsection before planting her with a Neckbreaker! He pulls her to her feet, spinning around with her in tow a few times before tossing her shoulder first straight into the ringpost! He pulls her out of the corner, dropping her straight to the mat with a Snap German Suplex! Steele bounces off the mat in recoil, before rolling out of the ring and getting some distance between herself and Kash! The champion exits the ring to go after her, snatching Steele up and throwing her into the steel steps! He follows up, grabbing her up once again and touring her around the ringside area before throwing her into the announce table! She slides across the desk, sending papers and drinks flying as she lands amongst the commentator’s chairs!
Kash revels in all the damage he’s doing, posturing to the crowd before turning to direct his attention back to Steele! Unbeknownst to him however, Steele is back in this, climbing to the top of the announce table and launching off towards him with a Crossbody! She wails on him punches to the head, before getting back to his feet and throwing him into the ring! She follows him into the ring, breaking the officials ten-count just short of nine! Steele rushes towards Kash, who tries to take him down with a Lariat! But she ducks underneath it, wrenching his arm in process! She keeps him at bay with a Chop, before rushing to the corner and climbing the turnbuckles with Kash in tow! She launches off, grabbing Kash’s head on the way down for a Tornado DDT! Pin by Steele!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Kash! Steele looks to finish this off, dragging Kash back to his feet and hitting the ropes! She looks for the Floatover DDT, but Kash pushes her away, before catching her with a Knee to the midsection when she returns to him! She falters back into the corner, with Kash giving her a few taps to the head with a few Back Elbows! He rushes to the other corner, looking to hit Steele with another move! But Steele goes directly after him, catching him once he arrives at the opposite end of the ring with a Yakuza! It’s Steele who now rushes to the opposite corner for some momentum! But Kash is on top of her as well, giving her a receipt in the form of a Yakuza Kick of his own! He musters up a bit more energy now, pulling Steele in before hitting her with Fuck You and All Your Friends! Ripcord Bicycle Knee connects! Steele drops to the mat like a ton of bricks, with Kash collapsing alongside her! It takes him a moment before he crawls onto Steele for the pin!
ONE…!
Kick out by Steele, much to the surprise of Kash, who even with the considerable time gap thought he’d have her closer to three count than this! Kash decides to pull out all the stops here, exiting the ring and grabbing up the steel steps! He threatens to swing on the referee when they try to stop him, before placing it in the center of the ring next to a prone Steele! Kash takes to the corner, waiting for Steele to get up, no doubt looking to hit her with No Pressure on top of the steps! Kash charges forward, only for Steele to throw him onto the steps with a Back Body Drop! She hits the ropes now, hitting Kash with a Floatover DDT on the steel steps! Pin by Steele!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Kash! Steele is flustered now, but doesn’t stop her efforts! She stands next to the steps, waiting for Kash to make it back to his feet before looking for the Diamond Cutter! But Kash pushes her off, dumping her right onto the steel steps! Steele is in pain now, writhing in agony on the mat before trying to get back to her feet! Her efforts are cut short however, as Kash pops up and nails her with the Canberra Collaspe! Springboard Cutter connects! Pin by Kash!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Steele! Kash is getting a bit frustrated now! He waits for her to try and make it back to her feet, before going for The Lucker Stomp! But Steele moves out of the way! She goes for the Diamond Cutter, but the pain to her back is too much and collapses to the mat before she can hit the move! Kash takes advantage of this, backing into the corner before nailing her behind the head with You’re Just a Head on a Stick! Hidden Blade connects! Kash isn’t finished inflicting pain, however, mounting Steele’s back before digging in with repeated Forearms to the back of the head and neck! The scene becomes a sickening one, as the referee realizes that Steele is lying still on the mat, no longer able to defend herself! As a result, the official pulls Kash off of her before calling the bell!
Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…as the result of referee’s stoppage…the Zion Wrestling UNDISPUTED! CHAMPION!...KASEY! FUCKING! KASH!
Winter Mae: What a sickening display by the Undisputed Champion!
Trick Morrison: Kash said he was out to prove a point by choosing Steele for this match…I’d say the point is proven.
The official tries to restore order, handing Kash the Undisputed Championship and raising his arm in victory! But Kash is having none of it, dropping both and mounting Steele’s back once again! He lays in with even more Forearms to the back of the neck, nearly crippling Steele with his brutality!
Just then, “Strawberry Shake” kicks in, with Razzles Mars rushing down to the ring, her crosshairs firmly aimed at Kash! She slides into the ring just as Kash grabs his belt and slides out, laughing at very obviously fuming Mars! She kneels alongside Steele, with medical personnel swarming the two as she stares daggers into her Destiny opponent! The last image we see from the arena tonight is of Kasey Kash, reveling the night’s work he’s done!
WINNER: KASEY KASH (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: REFEREE’S STOPPAGE
We pan into the exterior of an abandoned house, seemingly in the middle of nowhere on a mild winter night. A thin layer of snow covers the ground around the house, with little patches covering the roof and porch area! The only sounds that can be heard is the gentle whistling of the wind. That is, of course, until we hear the sound of a motor off in the distance. The sound comes ever closer, as we cut to see a truck on a path through the trees leading to the house. The large tires cut through the snow, eventually coming to a halt in front of the house. The windows make it hard to spot who’s driving the vehicle, but the person who steps out of the backseat is all too familiar to us. It’s Ryan Peters, brandishing a steel chair and flanked by a Zion official.
Ryan Peters: So this is where you wanted to do this, huh?!
He gets no answer.
Ryan Peters: Doesn’t matter! I battered you last Mayhem! I’ll do it again right now! Now bring your ass out here so I can kick it again!
He once again goes without an answer.
Ryan Peters: I said get out here! Unless you’re too much of a coward!
Another wave of silence washes over the scene, with Peters beginning to realize that he’s not getting anything he wants unless he enters the house.
Ryan Peters: Fine! Guess I’ll come and drag you out of there myself!
He turns to the truck driver.
Ryan Peters: Keep the engine running. This ain’t gonna last long!
Peters approaches the house, stepping onto the front porch and looking through the windows. He sees absolutely nothing, with no lighting within the house. He turns to the referee.
Ryan Peters: You wanna go in first? I mean, you’re the official after all. Maybe you wanna hop in there and officiate? Count him out or something like that.
Zion Referee: This match is No Disqualification, and even then, you’d be counted out for being outside the house.
Ryan Peters: So I guess that’s a “no” to you going in first?
Peters rolls his eyes towards the official, opening the door as he speaks.
Ryan Peters: Oh come on, you giant pussy! You act like he’s gonna pop up from behind the do–
Peters turns around as the door opens, triggering a light that flashes over Samuel Lopez himself! Peters goes on the offensive immediately, smashing him over the head with his trusty steel chair! He smashes him again and again and again, before rolling him over and laying on top of him for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Just then, however, the official breaks the count. He noticed something had gotten on his hand as he slapped the wooden floor for the pin. It’s…wax. Both the referee and Peters look over to the head of Samuel Lopez, realizing that it’s been caved in.
Ryan Peters: What the fuck?!
Peters crawls away from Lopez in a haste, with he and the referee only then coming to realize that it’s not really him, but instead a wax sculpture of him, detailed enough to pass for the real thing. Peters gets to his feet, finding the light switch next to the door and flipping it on. It’s at that point that his worst fears are realized. The light reveals the interior of the abandoned house, with realistic looking statues of Samuel Lopez, all of which staring directly at him. Peters is creeped out by this, turning to open the door behind him to get out of the house! The door is locked however, with Peters unable to get out. Peters opts to instead trek the hallways of wax statues, hoping that Lopez comes up somewhere.
Ryan Peters: How am I supposed to find him in all this? Standing around and staring blankly into space is all this dude is good for anyway!
Peters and the referee pass by a clustered group of statues. The camera lingers on them, as one shows signs of life as the eyes begin to twitch. The eyes begin to blink, signaling that it’s the real Samuel Lopez! He creeps away from the group of statues, stalking Peters from behind without his knowledge! Peters makes it upstairs, reaching the end of a hallway with a Samuel statue standing front and center. Peters approaches it, thinking it’s definitely the man himself. He feigns a chair swing towards him, thinking it’ll be enough for Lopez to leap into action! He keeps trying to get the Lopez statue to break character by doing a number of absurd things in front of it.
Ryan Peters: Guess Lopez was too much of a coward to show up, huh?
Peters chuckles, tapping the referee on the shoulder in hopes he’ll chuckle along with him. When he reaches back for him however, the shoulder he taps is a lot broader than the official’s. Peters turns around, only to see Samuel Lopez, in the flesh right behind him.
Ryan Peters: FUCK!
Peters swings on Lopez with the steel chair, only for him to swat it away before getting a hand around his throat! Peters nails Lopez with a kick to the midsection to escape, before rushing down the hallway and fiddling with the knob of a door to a random room! He finally barges through the door, closing it behind him before finding a wooden chair to place under the knob to keep Lopez out! He quickly realizes that the chair is just as old as the house they’re in. Knowing that he only has limited time to come up with a plan, Peters looks out the window to escape! But the floor he’s on is too high for him to jump to safety. He turns around to see another wax statue of Lopez, or rather, a reflection of one. Peters suddenly realizes that he’s in a room full of mirrors!
We cut to Lopez outside the door, trying hard to use brute force to make his way inside! When that doesn’t work, Lopez walks out of frame, coming back in with his trusty hatchet in hand! He begins to swipe at the door with the weapon, breaking a hole through the door that he peeks through! A certain line about his arrival could be said at this point, but Lopez doesn’t break his silence to say it! Instead, he reaches through the hole and pushes the wooden chair out of place, leaving him able to open the door!
Lopez walks inside, with Peters nowhere to be seen. He approaches the wax statue made in his likeness, peering deep into his own eyes as he seems to realize something is wrong with its placement. It’s at that point that Peters reveals himself, pushing a mirror he’s been hidden behind towards Lopez and breaking it over his back! Lopez collapses to the wooden floor, with Peters laying into him with stomps to keep him at bay! He leans another mirror against the wall, getting Lopez up before smashing him through it with a Vertical Suplex! Peters goes for the pin, thinking that has to be it!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Lopez! Peters is in shock as he pulls his opponent off the floor! He looks to end the match and Lopez’s life, as he aims him towards the window to throw him out! But Lopez reverses, instead trying to do the same to Peters! The Bastard King clings to the frame of the window to keep himself from being ejected, turning around just in time to dodge the Big Boot from Lopez! The glass shatters as Lopez hits the move on it instead, getting his foot stuck in the window in the process. Peters takes the opportunity to escape, tripping over himself to get out the door! Lopez gets his foot out of the window with help from the official, starting to slowly stalk after him!
Lopez arrives in the hallway, looking around to see Peters is nowhere in sight. He keeps looking around, noticing a rope hanging from the ceiling that wasn’t there before. He looks up, with Peters coming down from the ceiling and jumping on his back! He slaps in a Sleeper Hold sloppily, with Lopez easily able to throw him off! Peters lands near the stairs, with Lopez hot on his trail! He acts quickly, taking the arm off of one of the wax statues near the stairway and using it to trip Lopez over and send him tumbling down the staircase! Lopez lands at the bottom of the stairs, motionless as Peters thinks he’s won! But just then, Lopez sits up, with Peters looking on in absolute shock and horror! He takes off down the hallway, rushing into another room without lighting!
Peters has no idea where he is, with no light whatsoever leaking into the room. He keeps stepping forward, bumping into something that causes him to stagger back. He finds his footing on some sort of lighting trigger, which makes a light shine over yet another wax statue! However, this one isn’t of Samuel Lopez, but instead…Oliver Peters! Ryan Peters’ father! Somehow the sight of his old man, in the flesh or not, spooks him even more than the statues of Lopez, as he turns around to leave! He doesn’t get far however, with Lopez entering the room to clobber him with a Clothesline From Hell! Lopez looks to scoop him off the floor, attempting to lock him into Enjoy The Silence! But Peters thinks fast, once again taking a limb off a statue! This time, it’s the leg of the statue of Oliver Peters, with Ryan symbolically smashing Lopez over the head with the leg he injured a few months back! Lopez staggers before falling to a knee! Peters rushes over to him, nailing him with Stay Fucked! Curbstomp connects!
At this point, Peters’ goal is no longer winning, but survival, as he makes a beeline for the stairs! He climbs down, going for the front door before remembering that it’s been locked! He instead jets through the ground floor of the house, getting to the kitchen before busting a hole through the window and climbing out of it! Peters runs around the exterior of the house, the headlights of the truck he rode in to get here providing hope for salvation! He gets mere inches away from safety, only to be taken by surprise as a hand bursts out of a window! The hand obviously belongs to Samuel Lopez, who climbs out of said window and climbs the roof! Without hesitation, Lopez launches off the roof and tackles Peters right before he makes it to the truck, the driver of which sees the ensuing scuffle and puts pedal to the metal in order to leave! With no hope of escape, Peters is quickly snared into Enjoy The Silence! Anaconda Vice is in! Peters has nowhere to go, eventually succumbing to the hold as he passes out!
The official pulls Lopez off of Peters, raising his hand in victory. The last visual of the night sees Lopez standing tall.
WINNER: SAMUEL LOPEZ
RESULT: SUBMISSION (ENJOY THE SILENCE)
