Opening Segment
As the Mayhem logo flashes on the screen we open up to the backstage locker room of The Mecca where Bam Miller,Mac Bane and Kim Pain looked to be having a serious discussion about events that transpired on WGWF Brawl two weeks ago.
Mac Bane: I swear to god when Joe gets here I’m going to kick his ass and so is Kim! There is nothing that sleazy son of a bitch can do to get himself out of this one, he’s FUCKED!
Bam shakes his head as he holds his half of the WGWF Tag Team Titles over his shoulder.
Bam Miller: Look I get it, Joe fucked up and needs to answer for his crimes against Mecca but I need Kim focused for our tournament tag match and I need you to be calm and focus on your opponents Scotty and Jay because I know they’ll be gunning for retribution after last week.
Mac looks like he’s about to explode until Kim steps between them.
Kim Pain: Look you two don’t need to be arguing after becoming WGWF Tag Team Champions, people don’t need to see that and I am focused on our tag match Bam but I am also focused on kicking Jmonts ass after he decided to screw me out of the WGWF TV Championship to align himself with Sonya Benson of all people. When Joe made his move to take me out for her he made it clear that either him or Mac and I have to leave Mecca!
Bam shakes his head and paces a little as he tries to think. After a couple of minutes he comes to a stop and looks at Mac and Kim.
Bam Miller: Look let’s just go out there and win this tag tournament match and then we can address the elephant in the room.
Mac and Kim look at each other for a moment and then nod their head in agreement. Kim then walks off to go get ready while Mac stays to say one last thing to Bam.
Mac Bane: Look I know you're a loyal guy and you feel like you owe Joe something but I’m telling you as your tag team often that you’ve won goal with it you don’t owe that bastard a damn thing, Joe made his bed and he has to lay in it but that doesn’t mean you have to as well. So just know Kim and I’s decision has already been made but you still have a choice to make and I pray to god it’s the right one partner!
Mac walks out of the locker room with his half of the WGWF Championship and the IIW international title, leaving a conflicted Bam Miller alone in the locker room as he shakes his head and talks to himself as the hardcam switches to the commentary table.
Mike Fisher: What a way to kick off Monday Night Mayhem, Mecca seems to be imploded from within after already losing Fred Debonair last Mayhem. Joe's actions on WGWF brawl have really come back to bite him in his ass and you have to wonder where Enigma and Goliath stand in this situation.
Scott James: Definitely an interesting developing story but will have to wait until the IIW World Champion arrives to see what fireworks pop off tonight and not to mention Joe still has to deal with the number one contender for his World title, the former World Champion John Cavanagh.
Mike Fisher: We'll find out later on but right now we have to get ready for the first semi finals tag tournament match.
Match One
Tag Team Tournament Semifinals
Standard Tag Team Match
The Mecca (Bam Miller and Kim Pain) vs The Syndicate (Black And Gold) Kevin Watkins and Hardcore Jono (with Sabrina Masters)
Mike Fisher: Here we go IIW fans the first semi finals of the tag team tournament is about to begin and either The Mecca or The Syndicate is about to find themselves in the finals and one win away from getting a tag team title shot at Gates Of Immortality.
Scott James: Yes there's a lot of turmoil going on inside The Mecca but you have to think Bam and Kim are ready to make the group proud tonight.
Mike Fisher: That is true but The Syndicate looked like a well oiled machine last Mayhem and have proven to be a legitimate threat to anyone in this tournament.
Scott James: Well I guess we’ll have to see who wants it more.
Born to raise hell by Motorhead starts to play and Kimberly Pain comes out from behind the curtain together with her agent Kat Jones and stands still for a moment looking at the crowd. She takes a moment to soak up the boo’s before she starts walking.
Alice Goldier : Making her way to the ring.. Accompanied by Kat Jones .. She is Kimberly Pain!
Kimberly walks down to the ring. Kat Jones takes her spot at the side of the ring and Kim hops onto the apron and gives a hip pop before she slides in between the ropes and waits in her corner for the match to start.
No one Will survives plays over the speakers and Bam Miller rides out on stage on his Midnight Black Harley Davidson, he reves up the engine and then begins to ride down the ramp and parks at the end. He gets off slowly and jugs a Miller Lite beer and then tosses it into the crowd.
Alice Goldier: Making his way to the ring at the weight of 225lbs, from Detroit Michigan, I give you THE SLAYER BAM MILLER!!!!!
He argues with some fans and then walks up the steel steps but before stepping into the ring he reveals his signature weapon The Brick out of his black leather jacket and raise the brick in the air for the people to see, with a smirk replaces it down by the steps and gets inside the ring and runs up to the top turnbuckle as he beats on his chest and uses vulgar language towards the fans. After that he gets down and goes over in his corner and waits for the match to begin.
The Zoo" by Scorpions hits as the arena goes dark with reddish looking fog up and smoke coming out. A platform raises and any combination/all of the above of Sabrina Masters, Brodie Masters, Hardcore Jono and Kevin Watkins make their way out/up with Masters leading the charge never without her bullwhip with any combo of the rest on either side of her though slightly behind. As the music dies down Masters enters the ring cracks her bullwhip a few times and and then proceeds to use it to "present" her clients to the audience often drawling jeers, she takes her place at ringside as her associates prepare to do their thing so to speak.
Alice Goldier: accompanied to the ring by Sabrina “The Pimptress” Masters, weighing in at a total combined weight of 550 pounds, the team of Hardcore Jono and Kevin Watkins, they are The Syndicate!!!
*BELL RINGS*
Kim Pain and Kevin Watkins start things off for their respective teams as they lock up in the middle of the ring and quickly Kim uses her speed to get behind Kevin to take him down to the mat and then immediately drops an elbow to the back and then hammers him with punches to the back of the head and then kicks him to the ribs and then waits for him to get up to one knee to nail him with a kick to the face but Kevin catches her foot and then takes her down with a dragon screw. Kevin then picks her up and tosses her into the corner and meet her with an elbow to the face and then waits for her to come out the corner to hit her with a belly to belly Suplex.
Mike Fisher: Evenly matched so far.
Scott James: Yeah but looks like The Syndicate are in full control right now.
Kevin lifts Kim up and delivers a chop to her chest but Kim fires back with a punch to his face and then gets up to drive him into her corner and tags in Bam and she holds Kevin in position as Bam gets in and deliver punches to Kevin until the referee forces Kim out. Bam lights Kevin up with a series of punches and chops and then twist his arm and tries to yank it out of place as he laughs in the direction of Hardcore Jono who looks at Bam with disgust.
Mike Fisher: Looks like Hardcore Jono is ready to get in this match and show Bam what he’s all about.
Scott James: Bam vs Jono is a fight everyone in this arena would love to see.
Bam delivers a knee to the gut of Kevin and then bounces his head off the turnbuckle and then tosses him towards the ropes and waits for him to comeback and as he does Bam looks for a close line but Kevin ducks and comes back to deliver a close line of his own and then quickly tosses Bam into his corner and tags in Jono and they hit a double Suplex out of the corner. Then Jono hits a standing moonsault and then picks Bam up and throws him into the corner and hits a running knee to his face and takes him out the corner with a running bulldog and tries to go for the cover but Kim comes in to break it up and then the referee forces her out of the ring.
Mike Fisher: Kim breaking the rules but it's smart to get in there when her partner is in trouble.
Scott James: Definitely a smart move to make as long as it doesn't lead to a disqualification.
Jono slaps the mat in frustration and a she turns around to pick up Bam, Bam delivers a poke to the eyes and then sweeps Jono legs from underneath him and goes for a figure four but a she spins around to lock it in Jono pushes him forward an she collides head first into his own partner Kim, which sends her flying off the apron and into the barricade. Bam holds his head as he looks concerned for Kim but as he turns around into Lights Out/The End Of Days/Parties Over - Kevin hooks an inverted cloverleaf on Bams legs and lifts him in the air. While Jono grabs the front face-lock, and the two deliver a sick spike DDT and Jono instantly goes for the pin
One…
Two….

*BELL RINGS*
Mike Fisher: MY GOD THE SYNDICATE JUST KNOCKED OFF THE MECCA!!!
Scott James: Just shocked the world but we knew coming in that The Mecca wasn't on the same page and it showed.
Alice Goldier: Here are your winners and moving on to the finals of the tag team tournament, THE SYNDICATE!!!!
The Syndicate roll out of the ring celebrating as the walk up the ramp with their manager, as they disappear towards the back the hard cam focuses on Kim as she rolls into the ring with a microphone, she checks on Bam Miller for a moment and then helps him up to his feet and seems to let him know it's alright before taking center stage in the ring and lifting the microphone.
Kim Pain: I can't even focus on what just happened in this tag match because I'm so fucking pissed off on what happened two weeks ago on Brawl in the WGWF! And to you morons that can't bother to tune in, let me fill you in on the bull shit. Your IIW World Champion and my supposed family member from Mecca screwed me out of the WGWF TV Championship when he planted me with a JKO and aligned himself with that bitch Sonya instead of me! So Joe I know your bitch ass is back there already, so get your ass out here before I drag your bitch ass out here before I drag you out!!!!
Mike Fisher: Kim Pain is calling out The World Champion!
Scott James: She better be careful what she wishes for because she just might catch another JKO!
As the lights flicker, a spotlight starts to spin around the arena until it finally finds its landing spot. When it's shining bright, you see a figure about 30 rows up. When the cameras zoom in closer, you see the IIW World Heavyweight Title which means that it can only be one man.]
Mike Fisher: I am truly tired of J Mont thinking he owns the electric bill here in IIW.
Scott James: When you're the champ, you can do what you want.
[The spotlight starts to follow J Mont as he makes his way through the fans and down the steps. All the fans are trying to get their cheap feels and pictures with J Mont. As he gets to about the 15th row, he stops and lifts the mic up he had with him all along.]
J Mont: At the end of the day, the IIW is the house that J Mont built. Since the day I got here, I have done nothing but Win and put this company on my back. And the final nail in the coffin was when the formation of The Mecca happened. There is not a person here that can stop US. Not John Cavanagh. Not Tristan King. Not Osh Vaughn. The only person that can stop all of this is ME and that's never going to happen.
Mike Fisher: I wish someone would knock this guy off this pedestal of hsi.
Scott James: J Mont is the IIW and he has done wonders for this company.
[As J Mont makes it down to the railing finally, he turns around and looks at all the fans. More cheers than usual, which comes as a shock since he is the most hated man in the business today. J Mont hops over the railing and lands on his feet.]
J Mont: Kim and Bam! 2 people I respect in the game. I know I put you in a tough spot Bam a few weeks ago when I hit Kim with the JKO in the WGWF, but that was just business. Just like here in the IIW, this is business too.
[Kim looks down at J Mont with a furious look.]
J Mont: Kim, I did what I did. I'm not denying it. But at the end of the day, that's a different home with different rules. Here in the IIW, I got your back. We are a team. Call it a conflict of interest, but I know how to juggle all of this. The question is, do you know how to do that? You too Bam.
[J Mont slides into the ring where he is face to face with Bam and Kim. He takes the World Title off his waist and throws it over his right shoulder.]
Kim shakes her head and looks at Joe with hate in her eyes.
Kim Pain: I DON'T GIVE A DAMN THAT IT WAS BEST FOR BUSINESS!!!
Joe and Kim stare each other down while Bam stands off in the corner shaking his head.
Kim Pain: You told us to come here and help build a dynasty with you, you said we would be a dominant force for years to come and that we could trust you but the moment a business opportunity comes across that only benefits you and not us as whole you took it with no hesitation and there is no coming back from that.
Joe shakes his head in disagreement
J Mont: LISTEN TO ME!!! It wasn't personal Kim but I see you are going to make it personal! I helped build Mecca, I've made us legendary in the wrestling business, and everything I told you guys would happen, happened. I said title shots would come. I said power would come. I said attention would come. I said the money would come. So if I happen to make a mine for myself that just so happens to affect you or anyone else in a negative way then I expect you to take it with no problem.
Kim looks like she's ready to strike but The IIW International Champion walks down the ramp and rolls into the ring with a microphone and gets in the face of Joe.
Mac Bane: Now Kim I know you don't need someone to fight your battles but I’m pissed off because I let this son of bitch convince us we could trust him and have something special but as we saw on WGWF Brawl this disloyal mother fucker didnt hesitate to stab us in the back!!!
Joe looks at Kim and Mac and begins to chuckle to himself while Bam just keeps looking confused and concerned in the corner.
J Mont: Look at you two getting so damn emotional. Mac you of all people owe me everything you have right now, without me bringing you into The Mecca and IIW , you would not be standing in this ring as the IIW International Champion, so get your family members in line or I will!!!
Joe and Mac have a stare down for a moment but before all hell could break loose we hear a loud laughing sound and then a slow clap come from the top of the stage as the former World Champion and number one contender to the IIW World Championship John Cavangh walk out on stage and draws the attention of everyone in the ring.
John Cavangh: Sorry to break up this family soap opera but me and The Champ have unfinished business, so if neither of you are going to drop him then I expect you to move aside and let me finish what I started last Mayhem!
Cavanagh smirks down at Joe as Joe looks back at him with disgust.
J Mont: THAT'S IT! I’m tired of this disrespect around here, Mac and Kim get your asses in line and go handle that before I handle you both!!!
Joe turns his fiery look towards Kim but only for her to catch him with a serious right hook that sends him staggering and turning around towards Mac and then Mac lays Joe out with The Ride(High-velocity spine buster)!!!!
Mike Fisher: Kim and Mac just put their hands on the World Champion and just gave him their resignation from The Mecca it looks like.
Scott James: Why isn’t Bam doing anything? Where the hell does his loyalty belong too?
Bam stands there in the corner holding his head and looking confused as Mac and Kim talk shit to Joe before rolling out the ring and hopping over the barricade as The Legacy Champion Enigma and Goliath chase after them as they come to the side of Joe. As they chase them through the crowd the sneaky John Cavanagh sneaks up behind Joe as he gets back to his feet but as Cavanagh gets behind Joe he swings him around and lays him out Hell’s Kitchen Drop ( Fisherman Brainbuster).
Scott James: HOLY SHIT!!!
Mike Fisher: Cav sending another message to the Champion, who seems to have lost control of everything at this point.
John Cavanagh lifts the World Championship up high in the air as the fans give a loud reaction but as Enigma and Goliath return to the ring Cav drops and rolls out of the ring and shoots them a bird with a smirk as he walks up the ramp. Enigma and Goliath check on Jmont while Bam sits in the corner rocking while holding his head, meanwhile Kim and Mac smirk from the top of the crowd as the camera fades out.

Match Two
Standard Singles Match
Ryan Hawkins vs Ryan McCann
Hawkins and McCann lock up in the middle of the ring and Hawkins instantly takes control of the match by delivering a knee to the gut of McCann and then back up into the corner and then proceeds to choke him while the referee demands he break the hold before getting himself disqualified.
Mike Fisher: Hawkins playing fast and loose with the rules already.
Scott James: Has Hawkins ever really played by the rules.
Hawkins laughs in the face of the referee and then delivers a sickening elbow to the face of McCann that drops him in a seating position in the corner, Hawkins backs up to the opposite side of the corner and then delivers a sickening knee to his head that rock McCann like a car crash.
Mike Fisher: Good lord I think Hawkins gave him whiplash.
Scott James: We haven’t seen Hawkins this vicious in a long time.
Hawkins drags McCann out and begins to stomp his legs and arms repeatedly with no remorse , Hawkins this picks him and delivers a DDT and looks to go for the pin but before the referee can even count, he lifts his head up and lays punches and elbow shots to the head and then slowly lifts him up and delivers knee to the gut and face , then quickly hits him with a TDK(RKO) and hooks both legs as the referee makes his count.
One…
Two….
Three!!!!
*BELL RINGS*
Alice Goldier: Here is your winner by pinfall, Ryan Hawkins!!!!
After the match, Ryan Hawkins picks up Ryan McCann and hits him with another TDK as Abigail steps into the ring holding the Book of the Father in her hand. Ryan puts McCann in a chokehold then slowly lowers them to a seated position in the ring as Abigal gives Hawkins a microphone now as he rubs the hair of McCann.
Ryan Hawkins: All McCann had to do was repent his sins and ask the Father for forgiveness and all would've been forgiven but he didn't want to listen, he wanted to fight against the word of the Holy one as if he was the devil hismelf, you see McCann was a dreamer instead of a believer but now after tonight he will be a believer because I have saved him.
Abigail holds the book of the father up in the air high for the whole arena to see.
Ryan Hawkins:And with this book and the guidance of The Father you can be saved too, the father accepts all that believe in his word.
Ryan points intot he direction of the fans and starts going down the row one by one.
Ryan Hawkins: He can save you! And you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and even YOU!
Ryan's fingers point directly toward the camera.
Ryan Hawkins: The Father's reach knows no limits, there is nobody he can't touch and change their lives. I'm a messenger of the father to those that need guidance, a savior to those that accepts but to those that fight back and refuse to listen…. Well then I become a weapon for the father, choose your decision wisely!!!!
Hawkins tosses McCann to the side and stands up next to Abigail as a bright light comes down on them then the lights go off and back on and they have disappeared.

The U.K. Champion Max Stone walks down the halls backstage until he comes to a stop at the door of The General Manager's office Tristian King, he knocks twice and then walks inside and sees King on the phone and takes a seat in front of and makes sure that King sees the UK Championship sitting front and center on his desk. After a couple seconds King hangs up his phone and gives Stone his undivided attention.
Tristian King: Mr.Stone why brings you by today?
Max smirks as he taps on the The UK Championship.
Max Stone: Lack of competition around here for me King, that’s what brings me here. I’ve defended this title twice and none of the challengers even deserved to have been in the same ring with me.
King sits up straight and nods his head.
Tristian King: So you think there is no competition for you in the U.K. division right now?
Max Stone: I mean just look around at the Division and IIW at a whole, there is really nobody that deserves a shot at me right now and I don’t like that King, I’m not a paper Champion I’m a fighting Champion and I need to defend my Championship, so you need to come up with some competition!
King smirks as he nods his head.
Tristan King: Ok Stone I hear you and I already have a solution, next Mayhem will have an open battle royal to anyone so that we can determine the number one contender for your UK Championship and the winner of that match will face you that night for the U.K. Championship! How does that sound?
Max smirks as he gets up and places his U.K. Championship over his shoulder.
Max Stone: Sounds like you’re going to find me a worthy competitor for my title that I get to put down for the Stone Age!
Stone takes his leave as the camera fades out.

We return from a commercial break to see one of the challengers to the IIW International Tittle Jay Vaughn standing in the ring with a microphone in his hand, he smiles for a moment as the fans give him a mixed reaction, he takes it all in with a smirk as he raises his microphone.
Jay Vaughn: Now I know many believed that I didn't deserve to have been in the International Number One Contenders match with Scotty Adams last Mayhem, some believe I was taking up a spot from someone else…
Jay smirks and then chuckles to himself.
Jay Vuaghm: But after last Mayhem where I took Scotty to his limit and took us to a draw to now its a triple threat at Gates Of Immortality for Mac Banes IIW International Championship.A Championship that has been under appreciated for a long time, I grew up around this company and have seen great and proud man hold that belt and once I defeat Scotty and Mac at Gates Of Immortality another proud and great man will be IIW International Champion!!
Mike Fisher: Jay making a bold statement.
'In the court of the Dragom' can be heard blasting out of the PA system, as the lights dim, save for a hazy maroon spotlight that shines on a currently empty stage, before a silhouette can be made out of a male figure, standing just behind the spotlight with his hands extended out in a cross formation, before the spotlight expands to reveal that the figure is wearing a black 'Adidas' hoodie (with the hood up, concealing his identity at this time), Maroon/Purple/Gold wrestling rights and black/blue 'Asic' sneakers Raising his right hand, the figure slowly pushes the hood off, revealing that it is none other than Scotty Adams.
Scott James: Well here comes the other challenger to the International Championship the Hall Of Famer Scotty Adams.
Scotty walks down the ramp with a microphone in his hand and then enters the ring with a loud reaction from the fans as they chant SILVER BULLET, which annoys Jay so much that he cuts them off and Scotty before he can begin to talk.
Jay Vaughn: Cut that shit out, this so-called Hall of Famer doesnt deserve the praise he gets, let alone this title opportunity after failing my uncle at Worlds Collide. If it wasn't for me Shaun Hart would still be in power around here, you should be thanking me and bowing to my feet!
The fans boo at Jay but slowly settle down as Scotty puts his hand up and looks at Jay.
Scotty Adams: You can make a joke about my failure at Worlds Collide all you like but at least I was in the fight! At least Osh had faith in me to get the job done unlike you who didn't even get invited to the dance because time and time again you have failed when he needed you most, the moment is always to big for you and you can never step up, instead, you always choke like a bitch!
The fans chant bitch loudly at Jay.
Jay Vaughn: Shut the hell up! You couldnt finish me off last Mayhem but I can promise you at Gates of Immortaltity I will immortalize myself and become the new IIW International Champion!!
Scotty Adams: I know you wont because it will be me the IIW Hall Of Famer that cements another part of my legacy when I become the new IIW International Champion!
Scotty and Jay stare each other down and looks like they are ready to come to blows until the IIW International Champion Mac Bane comes out on stage.
Mac Bane: Listen to you two arguing like school girls.
Mac laughs to himself.
Mac Bane: In case you two forgot the man that put both of you jackasses on your ass is in the same match and holds the very International Championship you both want so badly.
Mac smirks as he paces back and forth.
Mac Bane: And ill do it again much like I did to The World Champion earlier today when I left him flat on his back. You see it seems everyone forgot I'm the one out of 16 that was able to go the distance and walk away with the International Championship, I beat a field full of world class competitors and all I have to do now to retain it is best a spoiled brat in Jay who's always had it handed to him and you Scotty, someone that many people question does he even still have it or has being inducted into the hall of fame taken away all your drive to be the best?
Mac smirks.
Mac Bane: So it doesn't matter what you both think or tell yourself, because at Gates of Immortality I will put you both down where you belong under me and walk away STILL IIW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION!!!!
Mac spikes the microphone down and stores his two challenger's down as he holds up his International Championship.
Match Three
Standard Singles Match
Johnny Stylez vs Cody Starkz
Someone Anyone by Anberlin plays over the speakers as Johnny Stylez makes his way out from the back with a cold look in his eyes, he stays focused on the ring a she walks down the ramp and ignores the fans. He slides into the ring and walks over to his corner and waits for the match to start.
“All Smoke fills the entrance and then Cody Starkz appears on a platform that brings him up. A spotlight falls on him as he poses, then steps off the platform as he makes his way to the ring. As he walks down the ramp, he winks at a beautiful woman that chants his name. He smirks as he makes his way up the steel steps and makes his way to the top turnbuckle as he poses again. Johnny comes running across, nailing him in the back with a bodyblock before grabbing Cody by the head. He slams him down with a DDT and slides into a cheap roll up.
ONE!
TWOOOO!
CODY KICKS OUT!
Mike Fisher: Close one right out the gate, Cody’s night was almost over already.
Scott James: Mr.Maxwell would’ve been pissed.
Johnny nails him with an eye rake and pops back to his feet, turning to gloat to the crowd but he doesn’t notice that Starkz is already up! Cody Starkz looks like he wants to end Johnny’s win streak before it even gets going and he darts in for a quick rear waist lock before the bell even stops ringing, looking to take Stylez over with a snap suplex – no dice! Stylez counters into a snapmare takedown to create some distance before a few flailing karate chops are fired at Starkz. He backs off, ducking and weaving before popping Stylez in the face with a hard jab. Stylez and Starkz lock up, but Starkz muscles Stylez to the corner, smashing an elbow across his face in the process. Johnny spits blood in his face and rolls Cody up into a small package, feet on the ropes for leverage.
ONE!
TW—no! The official sees that dirty move and breaks off the count.
Mike Fisher: Johnny tried to get away with a fast one but the referee noticed quickly.
Scott James: The referee should’ve just worried about doing his job.
Mike Fisher: He was doing his job.
Cody Starkz drags Johnny up, looking like he’s had about enough of his bs, going for some technical wrestling. He snatches in an arm wringer and transitions to a belly to belly suplex! He pops back up and spins around, getting cocky for a second and Stylez nails a double-fisted dick punch and then snatches Starkz in a cheap school boy.
ONE!
TWO!
THR—NO!
Stylez telegraphs a ANOTHER low blow punch and Starkz turns that into a Fujiwara armbar that Stylez breaks out of by dragging them under the ropes and spilling to the floor. Starkz immediately baseball slides to the outside, catching Johnny in the face and getting a huge pop from the crowd in the process!
Mike Fisher: What a move and the fans love it!
Grabbing a handful of his hair, Starkz smashes Johnny's face off the apron before rolling him back to the ring. Starkz goes to work with knees to the guts before snatching an abdominal stretch – another low blow! That dirty move barely connects – Stylez went to the well on that one too many times. As he tries to snatch the leg for a takedown, Cody nails Jonny in the face with a knee! And another! Johnny Stylez falls back… OH NO!
Mike Fisher: Johnny looks like he’s in trouble.
Scott James: Don’t talk so soon.
Johnny comes back with a vicious elbow follow by a headbutt that rocks Cody, Cody staggers around as he sun a daze and Johnny quickly takes advantage and hits with a vicious DDT and backs up into the corner and stomps his feet as he focuses on Cody who begins to lift his head up off the mat and as soon as he does Johnny charges and hits Insult 2 Injury (Curb Stomp).!!! He instantly rollls Cody over and hooks both legs as the referee gets in position.
One…
Two…
Three!!!!
*BELL RINGS*
Alice Goldier: Here is your winner by submission, Johnny Stylez!!!!
Mike Fisher: I’m telling you right now , Stylez is going to be a problem for a lot of people going forward and could quickly find himself challenging for a title soon.
Johnny let’s the referee raises his hand as he celebrates in the ring.

"Luna est dominae, volkodlak malorum
Artes et perditae, lycan incarnatus
Luna est dominae, volkodlak malorum
Artes et perditae, lycan incarnatus"
A dense fog rolls out along the entrance ramp, the haunting whispered chant growing in volume along with the pulsing tempo of the music. A hulking horned beast appears from the gloom, slowly and methodically stalking towards the ring. His leather doomsday cloak is open over his massive chest, each step bringing him further into the light until "The Monster Machine" is revealed in full. The dark and Gothic chanting continues, music swelling in volume as each pulse in the tempo and each measured step of the monster are in sync.
"Rota, vita, mara, vena
Mare, dracul, morte, vita
Rota, vita, mara, vena
Mare, dracul, morte, vita"
ENIGMA ascends the ring steps and subtly wipes his feet on the apron, turning towards the crowd as he removes the horned skull mask, revealing his soot-streaked face and colourless eyes. Throwing his head back, he sprays a bloody mist into the air before letting out a snarl. When his head lowers, blood drips from his chin and down his heaving chest, some even spattering down on the LEGACY Championship strapped around his waist. Slowly, he removes his cloak and drapes it over the top rope before unstrapping the championship belt. He holds it up, roaring triumphantly as the musing comes to a screeching halt.
He hops down, letting the restless fans murmur in the silence before snatching a microphone from the ringside tech, lifting it to his lips.
ENIGMA: I hope you will forgive my rudeness, Japan. I have been trying to keep the darkness in check but every week, every time I am tasked with coming out to this ring, it grows harder and harder. It is only a matter of time before I am sure you saw what happened to poor Kenny Pryce last Mayhem. I could lie to you, to say that it was a mistake, that it was a lapse of judgement in the heat of the moment.
He flashes a cold smile, pacing for a moment.
ENIGMA: I warned you of this, of the impending doom. I urged you to take me seriously, to get your affairs in order and every word fell on deaf ears. You have none to blame but yourselves for the CARNAGE to come. I am UNLEASHED. I am LIBERATED. The MONSTER MACHINE does not care about your pathetic lives, your silly little heroes. So I will be straight with you. A RECKONING IS COMING.
The crowd is so quiet you can almost hear a pin drop.
ENIGMA: My LEGACY is that of the abyss, of the darkness everlasting. I am the right hand of misery and the one who will cull the weak and the sickly from your midst. Two fools have already fallen. I have been rewarded with a waste of time and the sound of crickets rather than the fanfare worthy of a CHAMPION. My next defense… it will be against someone worthy. Not nepotism’s worst mistake. Not a fool with a Magnum PI moustache who doesn’t even know I am competing in the same match. Next Mayhem, I want our GM to make a contenders match for MY CHAMPIONSHIP. Do not insult me further than you already have.
The crowd is starting to get a little restless now.
ENIGMA: You will make it a match worthy of MY LEGACY. I want to see them bleed. I want to hear the symphony of bones breaking – it has been far too long since I have heard my favourite song. Sadistic Madness… make your opponent bleed before you can pin them. Find me a worthy adversary. If you cannot…
He pauses for a moment before a chilling laugh spills from his lips.
ENIGMA: The dance of the damned will continue until the only ones left standing are THE MECCA. Do you understand me now? Do you see? DO YOU SEE?
He bellows that, his voice almost deafening and the arena suddenly plunges into darkness. Someone in the crowd screams and when the lights cut back on, the ring is empty.

IIW Mayhem returned from a commercial break to see John Cavanagh standing in the locker room area with a cell phone to his ear.
John Cavanagh: Yeah? You’re sure that’s what happened?
Cav paused momentarily as the information he received was processed.
John Cavanagh: Well, ya know, play stupid games and you win stupid prizes. It’s a go.
The Irishman took the cell phone from his head and placed it in his pocket. He took in a deep breath before turning around, from outside of view of the camera comes a hand wielding a beer bottle. The beer bottle crushes against Cav’s head sending shards of brown colored glass flying around the backstage area
Mike Fisher: Now just what the hell was that?
Scott James: Like you just heard him say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Cav holds his face as the camera pans out to show a smirking J Mont. J reaches down and grabs Cav by the head, pulling him to his feet. The World Champion lands a few right hands as Cav fumbles from view.
J Mont: Attack me in my hotel room?
J Mont grabs a production box and lifts it over his head before hurling it at Cav, crashing against his rival’s back.
J Mont: Kick me while I’m down? Shit like this is why you’re not champ anymore!
J Mont continues his onslaught grabbing Cav and slamming him headfirst into a black production box on wheels. Cav wobbles forward as J looks around the area and grabs a chair. J swings and connects with the upper portion of Cav’s back. J swings again but Cav dips into a hallway. The chair crashes against the brick wall and J shakes off the visible pain in his hands from the ricochet.
Mike Fisher: Well, the World Champion is in hot pursuit of the former World Champion.
Scott James: I think you can refer to Cavanagh as the challenger at this point, he lost it a while ago.
J follows Cav as the camera crew rush behind them. J grabs Cav and turns him around, J throws a haymaker but Cav ducks, goes behind J and tosses him face first to the concrete brick wall. Cav lays in a few rights hands and then walks off shaking off the assault he’s already undergone. Cav rounds a corner and waits, J slowly hobbles around the same corner and gets blindsided by a case of Poland Spring water to the face and water bottles go flying as J hits the floor.
John Cavanagh: Here you little shit, you look thirsty.
Cavanagh takes one of the bottles of water and places a knee on J’s chest and begins to drown his face with the water, he follows it up with another one and smacks J across the face.
John Cavanagh: Next time I’ll waterboard you, you stupid prick!
Cavanagh grabs another bottle of water and begins to drink it. He turns to his right and clicks a button on an elevator. He chugs the last of the water, the chime dings, the door opens. Cavanagh turns around and J Mont flies through the air knocking both men into the elevator. J begins to lace Cav with punches before Cav blocks one and tosses J off of him. The two men get to their feet and begin to trade punches as the doors close.
Mike Fisher: Now just where in the hell are these two lunatics headed now?
Scott James: I’m not one hundred percent sure but I hope this building has a good insurance policy.
The cameras open to an elevator, another chime is heard, the door opens and we are greeted by J Mont and Cavanagh continuing their exchange of fists. J blocks Cav and pokes him in the eye. J walks out of the elevator, catching his breath, he looks to his right as the cameras show a parking garage. Cav charges and hits J from behind with a double ax handle to the upper back. He grabs J and goes to send J to a concrete pillar but J reverses and sends Cav crashing head first. Cav falls to the ground and J hits him with two swift kicks before making his way towards a sign that reads “exit”.
Mike Fisher: Is the World Champion trying to get out of the arena?
Scott James: Maybe my boy has got himself a little backup out there.
Cav gets up and pursues his target. He rounds the corner to follow J and is greeted with a garbage pale to the face from J Mont. J grabs Cavanagh by the head and sends him shoulder first into the quarter panel of a red Chevy Camaro.
Mike Fisher: Somebody is going to be pissed!
Scott James: You’re damn right, that’s my goddamn car!
J charges towards Cavanagh who is now seated against the wheel. At the last moment Cav moves, sending J’s knee crashing into the rim. J hobbles on one knee as Cav clips him from behind on his good knee. Cav pulls J to his feet and sends his face thudding into the Camaro’s hood.
Mike Fisher: I hope you’ve got more than standard collision on your policy.
Scott James: Osh Vaughan better pay for the repairs! I don’t want my insurance going up.
Cav begins to look around and grabs the trash can that he was assaulted with previously. He charges J and tossing the pale towards him but J moves sending the pale into the front windshield.
Mike Fisher: Hey, at least the can didn’t do anything.
Scott James: Oh my fucking baby!
J Mont comes up from behind on Cavanagh and hits him with a low blow before sending Cavanagh into the car’s hood as well. J begins to run back towards the exit.
Mike Fisher: Looks like good news for you.
Scott James: Thank God, Allah, Odin, Buddha or whoever is really in control of this chaos.
Cav gets up shaking the cobwebs off before the camera gets sight of J Mont driving a golf car around the corner of the exit sign. Cavanagh gets sight of it and moves out of the way, J Mont panics and bails from the cart–boom!
Mike Fisher: Oh no.
Scott James: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Osh!! Cavanagh!!! J Mont!!! Somebody has to make this right!!!!
The golf cart crashes into the Camaro changing the entire outlook of the passenger side of the vehicle. Cavanagh charges to J Mont and the two men go back to exchange rights and lefts. A group of men in black security shirts begin to round the corner, two grab Cav and two grab J Mont but that’s no use both men throw the two security guards to the side and go back to focusing on one another as another, larger group of ten guards charge out from the exit area.
Mike Fisher: Maybe this is enough?
Scott James: It better be! I can’t take one more scratch on that thing.
Mike Fisher: You might be better off having that thing totaled at this point.
The swarm of security guards, plus the four that were recently disposed, begin to encircle J Mont and Cavanagh. The champion and the challenger continue to try and break free, first Cav momentarily, then J but each time the amount of guards make it impossible for the two men to get into another physical brush.
As security separates both men they make a clear path for the General Manager Tristan King as he approaches both men with a serious look on his face.
Tristian King: I've had about enough of the both you turning this show into your own personal warzone! Disrespecting staff and the fans by interrupting production like you own the place. If you two want to beat the hell out of each other you do it in a ring when the World Championship is on the line!
Joe and Cav just look at each other with disgust but then Tristian brings their attention back to him with a snap of his fingers.
Tristian King: Until that time comes you both can go back to your hotels and cool off and Joe if you have a problem with that you can earn yourself another fine and suspension, same gies for you Cav.
Joe spits at the ground.
JMont: I was ready to leave anyways, don't nobody make me do anything.
The World Champion takes his leave as security escorts him away while Cav stares at a hole in the back of his head as he walks off.
Cav: I'll see you soon sunshine.
Cav now walls off as security escorts him away and the lasting image we see is a frustrated Tristian King shaking his head.
Main Event
Tag Team Tournament Semifinals
Standard Tag Team Match
Eternity & Beyond (Junko Souma & Mary Taylor Chang) vs Malice Intentions Alliance ( M.I.A ) - Jayce Carver & Trent Maddox
Scott James: Well ladies and germz up next we have another match in our Tag Team Tournament and I gotta say I’ve been looking forward to this one all week.
Mike Fisher: My thoughts exactly during the opening round last week we saw impressive victories by both of these teams and now they are here we are live and one heads onto greatness while the other get’s left behind to pick up the pieces!
Scott James: What my broadcast partner here is trying to say is we have one hell of a match for you right here and right now, because it would shock absolutely no one if either of these two teams wins it all!
Mike Fisher: Another bold prediction Scotty, but as we all know there is really only one way to find out..SO what do you say we let these two teams figure this thing out the only way to figure things out in this crazy business of ours!
Scott James: Ya know as much as I hate to say it aloud but I agree, lets get to the FIGHT!!!
:::::::::::DING::::::::::
Jayce Carver starts things out for M.I.A. as Carver leans against the turnbuckle pads while he and Maddox go over some last minute strategy. Mary Taylor Chang opts to start this one out as she stands in the center of the ring waiting for Carver to emerge from his corner. Carver takes his time coming out as he has a sly smile on her face. Jayce walks to the center of the ring looking at Mary like he is looking straight through her. He turns to his partner and mockingly laughs at Mary but the moment he turns around Mary pounces. She nails a few stiff forearm shots to Jayce Carver’s face. Jayce staggers because of the quick and effective strikes and Mary Taylor Chang grabs Jayce Carver’s arm and slings him to the ropes. Jayce’s back hits the ropes on Eternity and Beyond’s side of the ring and as Carver’s back bounces off the ropes Junko throws a knee hitting Carver in his kidney area causing him to stumble back towards Mary Chang who runs up and grabs Jayce Carver’s head and falls backwards hitting a picture perfect codebreaker and she immediately drops down to try and take advantage of their advantage!!! The ref drops down and counts

NOOOO TRENT MADDOX PULLS MARY CHANG OFF HIS PARTNER!!!
Of course infuriated about this Mary pops up and throws a closed fist into Maddox’s faces…sher throws another and then another until Jayce Carver comes up from behind and sends Mary stumbling after a running knee nails her right in her back. Maddox recovers and shoves Mary Chang’s head in between his legs while the ref is going nuts trying to get this thing under control. Maddox lifts Mary Chang in the air and goes to powerbomb her as Jayce Carver backs up and they send Mary Chung crashing into the canvas with a powerbomb neck breaker combo. Trent Maddox then steps back outside of the ring as the ref issues a stern warning. Jayce Carver with an arrogant smirk drops down and covers Mary Chung while arrogantly smirking at Junko across the ring as the ref drops down again

…THR NOOOO KICKOUT!!!
Jayce Carver looks shocked by the kickout. Jayce then extends his hand and tags his partner in. Maddox comes in while Jayce Carver pulls Mary Chang to her feet then grabs her by her back lifts her up and drops her back down on the canvas with a smooth back breaker. As Maddox climbed in the ring he pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle and as soon as Chang hits the ground he leaps off and drapes his leg across her throat with a guillotine leg drop.
Mike Fisher: And it appears the Malice Intentions Alliance came here tonight firing on all cylinders!
Scott James: It’s text book tag team wrestling, keeping the ring cut off to where they can’t make the tag!
Mike Fisher: Well I’ll say this if Eternity and Beyond plan on going beyond anything they need a new game plan and quick!
Scott James: I’m sure they will figure something out there is more fight in them than this!
Trent Maddox then gets to his feet and stomps Mary Chung in the ribs as she was trying to pull herself up to her feet. He laughs and continue to stomp away. He picks her up by her hair and then grabs her by her side and hits a side Russian leg sweep! Trent rolls through and pops back up on his feet and stops to pose for the fans who are letting him have it as Junko is pleading for her partner to dig down deep and come over and make a tag. Maddox spits in Junko’s direction and then picks Chung up by her arm and goes to whip her into the ropes, only Chung reverses it and when Maddox comes back around she leaps into the air and takes Maddox off of his feet with a beautiful spin wheel kick that causes the fans to pop loudly as the fans now join Junko in pleading for her partner to reach over and make a tag. Jayce Carver is telling them to all SHUT UP, as his partner had his bell rung by that quick. Mary Chung is first to her feet as she sees Maddox getting to his feet. Mary Chung runs passed him and leps ontpo the ropes then spinning around in the air and hits an utterly flawless BEAUTIFUL DISASTER kick right to the face. THen once again both members of their respective teams are on the ground trying to find the will to get back on their feet as the fans are on their feet for this one.
Mike Fisher: WOULD YOU LISTEN TO THESE FANS!
Scott James: Mary has this thing turned back in her team’s favor but can they capatilize?
Mike Fisher: WIth all the love they are getting from these fans I don’t see how she couldn’t because if you’ll care to notice Mary is winning the getting back to her feet first race…
Scott James: Well wait where the hell is Jayce Carver going?
Mike Fisher: Ohh sweet baby JESUS…Things don’t look good for the fan’s obvious favorite team!!!
Mary is trying to crawl a relatively short distance to make the tag and she is almost there…The fans and Junko are willing Mary on as Junko slaps the top turnbuckle over and over as the fans have begun clapping…ANd just as Mary is about to reach out and make the tag suddenly Jayce Carver grabs Junko’s feet out from under her and Junko falls busting her chin on the hardest part of the ring canvas. THe fans are booing as Mary looks up and sees what happened. SHe sees Jayce Carver quickly shoot back up to his feet as Mary uses the ropes to get back to hers. The ref is shouting for Carver to get back to his side of the ring, but before anyone knows what suddenly Trent Maddox runs up and puts Mary Chung in a full nelson and pulls her out of her own corner as Jayce Carver slides into the ring. He grabs the turnbuckle and stomps his foot as he then comes out and blasts Mary Chung in the face with a super kick which Trent Maddox then uses the momentum to power Mary Chung over with a FULL NELSON GERMAN SUPLEX!!!...Junko hasn’t budged as the fans boo and the ref drops down to make the count

::::::::::DING::::::::::::::
Mike Fisher: WELL I’LL BE DAMNED! YOU TALK ABOUT ROBBERY!!!
Scott James: Call it what you want Mikey but it’s effective tag team wrestling and I think the victors have proven something not to just themselves but to whomever they meet in the next round that they are probably one of if not the most well oiled tag team machines here in Inense International Wrestling!!!
Mike Fisher: Hard to argue that point there! But your heart has to go out to Eternity & Beyond because go back and watch the tape they were robbed!
Scott James: Yeah well all they can do is pick themselves back up and find a way to get back into the mix because here tonight on Mayhem THe Malicious Intentions Alliance has punched their ticket one step closer to IIW TAG TEAM GOLD!
Mike Fisher: Damn I LOVE THIS JOB!
Trent and Jayce celebrate in the ring a the referee raises their hands but then Watkins and Jono of The Syndicate make their way down the ramp as the fans get excited for a potential showdown between the two teams in the finals.
Mike Fisher: Feels like all hell could break loose right now.
Trent and Jayce stand their ground in the ring and looks like their ready for a fight as Watkins and Jono enter the ring. Both teams now stand across from each other talking trash and staring each other down.
Scott James: Next Mayhem in the tag tournament finals these two teams will meet for the chance to win the whole thing and get a Tag Team Title shot against The Gangster of Christ.
The two teams continue to state each other down as the camera begins to fade out but the last image we see is the IIW Tag Team Champions The Gangster of Christ looking on from the skybox as the show goes off the air.
