Mariah (born as Marisol Francesca Cruz; June 25, 1984), is a Professional Wrestler, Model and Valet is currently working for Ground Zero Wrestling Association (GZWA). She previously worked for the now defunct ZXWWF from 2003 until 2010. She debuted in wrestling in 1999 but took a hiatus in 2007 to come back in 2008.

Early life

Mariah grew up as the oldest of three sisters (one being out of an affair that caused her parents to become divorced). She took the role as role model for her younger sister, Amber, since her mother worked a lot of time to provide for their family and oftentimes wore the strong face of optimism where her mother could not. This caused her to have tough exterior before meeting her childhood friend, Xion Zeros. He taught her to enjoy life a bit more and have fun while still having time for her obligations and responsibilities to her family. They dated off and on (this continued as part of kayfabe in their wrestling careers as well), with their last relationship in high school ending when her encouraging him to ask Brooklyn Glamorous on a date.

Professional wrestling career

Mariah and ZX trained at the WCW Power Plant throughout their high school years, with Mariah being trained under the care of Nora Greenwald, at the time known as Mona/Miss Madness but most commonly known as Molly Holly. After graduating from the wrestling school, ZX and Mariah made several appearances throughout the years amongst the independent circuit, often tag teaming together in mixed tag team matches. One notable match in their independent careers was a WWF try-out match in early 2000, pitting the couple against their classmate, T-Bone, and a still green Trish Stratus. Mariah's in-ring training was a bit much for Trish Stratus to cope with at that stage of her career as Mariah worked the match stiff and often tried to get into the action with the male performers. ZX and Mariah got the win by ZX planting T-Bone to the mat with a DDT while Mariah tags herself in and connects with a diving elbow drop pin. Backstage, Mariah was scolded heavily for taking the match into her own hands, as the promotion didn't take lightly to women taking such an active role in the wrestling match. Of course, due to her conduct in the match, Mariah wasn't offered a WWF contract. ZX refused the contract offer and stood by Mariah's side as they returned to the independent scene for the next few years.

ZXWWF (2006-2010)

The Beginning

Mariah's televised ZXWWF career began in 2006 as part of ZXWWF's premiere Riot Control (then called Royal Rumble) 2006 event. She won the Divas Battle Royal between herself, Scary Mary, TK, and MissMurdaMo early on the card to become the first inaugural Women's Champion. She entered the Riot match at #18 and lasted until #4 when ZX eliminated her himself. She took no offense to the gesture as long as someone from their stable, dubbed Team Xtreme (consisting of ZX, Mariah, T-Bone, Emily, and "Lady D" Ashley) at the time. At the Nowhere to Run (then called No Way Out) 2006 event, Mariah defended her Women's Championship against newcomer Kyra in a No DQ match with Scary Mary acting as the special referee. Even though Mariah put the hurt on Mary as well, she had no choice but to count the win. Kyra put up a good fight though and Mariah shook hands with the upcoming Diva. Mariah raises Kyra's hand while she holds the title. The crowd gives them both a huge applause for a such a good match. At the Road to Wrestlemania event, Mariah teamed up with "Lady D" Ashley to face the team of the Pretty Mean Sisters' own leader, Scary Mary, and muscle, MissMurdaMo. Mariah and Ashley showed perfect in-ring chemistry and manages to pull out a victory after Mariah beats Mary with a combination of the 2 Hot for TV followed by the Heartbreaker. At the ZXWWF 'Mania I event, Mariah defended her Women's Championship against Scary Mary, Kyra, and Ashley. The crowd quickly backed behind the Divas in this match as all 4 Divas hit each other with their finishing moves from start. Unfortunately, the veteran Divas, Mariah and Mary, took Kyra out first. Ashley caught Mariah offguard and eliminated her with a F-U. The crowd goes wild as Ashley and Mary are the final two in this match up. Ashley counters an Unprettier by Mary and vice versa to Ashley as Mary counters her F-U but Mary seals the deal for the win as she countered with a Beauty Mask (Jumping Complete Shot) for the 1-2-3. Mariah shook hands with her fellow Team Xtreme teammates, Kyra and Ashley, and Mary herself for putting on quite a show for the fans. It was after this match Mariah limited her amount in-ring competition, but was occasionally being drawn into matches where she assists her on and off again boyfriend, ZX, or against her fellow female teammates of Team Xtreme, Kyra and Ashley.

After Emily's obsession with T-Bone's fascination with Trish Stratus, Mariah took it upon to kick Emily out of Team Xtreme personally with a Heartbreaker after winning against the Ladies of Dysfunction (TK & MissMurdaMo) at Backlash 2006. Mariah considered Emily's obsession with T-Bone's flirtaous behavior with Trish Stratus a distraction to the team as a whole. On the July 10, 2006 taping of Raw, Emily took it revenge as swearing Mariah as her eternal rival by eliminating her from the Queen of the Ring tournament's opening round with a new submission that Emily dubbed The Verdict (Ankle Lock). This setback didn't stop Mariah from earning an opportunity to vie for the newly dubbed Dominatrix Diva Championship at Great American Bash 2006 in an Elimination Chamber match against Athena, Concubine, Violent Violet, Tiffany, and Scary Mary. Sadly, she lost the match after being eliminated by Scary Mary. On October 19 at the Taboo Thursday PPV event, Mariah participated with 20 other of her fellow Divas and Diva Search contestants in an Over the Top Rope Diva Rumble. She is eliminated during the event by "Pussycat" Krissy Smith.

Enter: Raven & Cristina Scott

Over the weeks that followed, Mariah became friends with the newly signed Vixen from the Diva Search, Katrena "Raven" Mitchel. She became the first ever Vixen Champion on the XHE brand shortly after her debut and considered Mariah to be her mentor starting out. At that time, ZXWWF was being invaded by Superstars from a rival promotion called MHWF. Finding themselves at odds end from attacks from MHWF's own Ariel Williams, Melina, and Cristina Scott (Melissa Jordana), Mariah and Raven found it better to watch each other's backs, leading to Mariah accompanying Raven in her corner to defend the Vixen Championship against Ariel Williams with Melina in her own corner. Mariah ended being assaulted by Cristina Scott and Melina prior to the match, leaving her in no condition to help Raven in the match. On the November 27, 2006 edition of Raw, Mariah bursts into Carla's office demanding a match against Cristina Scott after she just signed a contract to officially join as part of ZXWWF's roster. In the match that was booked later that night, Mariah wastes no time to hit the 2 Hot for TV and goes for the Heartbreaker but Cristina ducks out the way and hits the Cristina Cutter followed by a Supernatural (450 Splash Pin). Mariah kicks out at 2 barely from her bruised ribs from the assault from last night. Mariah hits the 2 Hot for TV again only for Cristina to roll her up into a possum pin when she attempted for a cover. Mariah kicks out again but Cristina goes for the Cristina Cutter once more but Mariah hits the Vision of Love (Super Neckbreaker Pin) and takes the win. Mariah and Cristina Scott's rivalry continued throughout the month ending with both of them acting as valets at ringside during the Women's Tag Team Championship match at the Armageddon 2006 PPV. Mariah accompanied the team of Double D ("Lady D" Ashley & Amy Rose) and Cristina Scott accompanied the Pretty Mean Sisters (Scary Mary & Violent Violet). Oddly enough, Cristina Scott abandoned PMS during the match, leaving them helpless to suffer the wrath of Double D to take the gold. This left the feud between Mariah and Cristina Scott at a stalemate as Mariah put her eyes on other goals.

Becoming ZXWWF Champion

On the December 18, 2006 edition of Raw, Mariah is offered the opportunity of a lifetime: a ZXWWF Championship title match against the reigning champion, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Cristina Scott's younger sister, Cammie is in Styles' corner while ZX is in hers. After many crushing blows with the managers ringside just merely watching this match, Mariah goes for the 2 Hot for TV but Styles ducks away at the last second and hits the Styles Clash to Mariah. Mariah kicks out at 2 and goes for a running head scrissor takedown but Styles puts her down with a spinning backbreaker. Styles follows up with a Spiral Tap for the finish but Mariah rolls away at the last second as Styles eats the mat. Mariah connects a Heartbreaker while Styles struggles to his feet and covers him. Cammie shouts ringside for Styles to kick out but the Heartbreaker was too much for him as ZX applauds his Team Xtreme teammate and raises her hand in victory as the referee hands her the WWE title. The locker room is shocked as Raw now has 2 divas holding the top titles, with Mariah holding the ZXWWF Championship and "The Icon" Litablaze (Jessica Krueger) holding the Undisputed Championship. Upon the first Raw taping in the new year of 2007, both AJ Styles and John Cena attempt to regain their dignity in the main event against both champions but their attempts failed. Cena goes for the kill with F-U to The Icon while Styles goes for a Spiral Tap after a spinning backbreaker to Mariah. Both finishers connect and the guys for the pin but both divas aren't out yet. Styles goes for the Paylay but Mariah hits him with a quick Heartbreaker midair. Cena goes for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle to The Icon but she counters with a low blow followed by the KOD. Lita insults him even more as she applies his own STF-U. Styles rushes to try to break the hold but gets hit by Mariah's 2 Hot for TV while Cena taps out. Team Xtreme, the Rebels, and Jeff Hardy w/ Kirsten ends Raw joining Mariah and The Icon in the ring to celebrate the victory in the ring. At the Royal Rumble 2007 PPV, the ZXWWF Championship was on line in a triple threat match with Mariah defending the gold against AJ Styles and John Cena. After Cena and Styles endured Mariah's dominance in the first half of the match, Cena got his second wind and delivers the F-U to Mariah. Just as Cena is about to go for the pin on Mariah, Styles springs up with the Pele Kick and follows up with the Styles Clash for the win to take the WWE title for the second time.

The End of Team Xtreme: ZX & Mariah vs. T-Bone & Emily

After losing the ZXWWF Championship, Mariah acted as ZX's manager and on-screen girlfriend once again after he broke up with Raven a few weeks prior. The stable that was once was Team Xtreme has dissolved as T-Bone and ZX break into a feud with Mariah and Emily taking sides of their respective boyfriends throughout the feud. At the Road to Wrestlemania PPV event, ZX and Mariah faced T-Bone and Emily. T-Bone and Emily tried their best but it wasn't enough tonight. Emily got taken out first by being hit by her own Emily Wings by Mariah and following up with a Heartbreaker to finish the job. T-Bone then hits ZX with the Broken Spirits and goes for another to Mariah but Mariah pushes him out the way. ZX nips up and unleashes his new finisher, X'd Out (Sweet Chin Music 1) to T-Bone for the win. Afterwards, ZX takes the mic and says that the very same thing will happen at 'Mania as T-Bone isn't a challenge to him. Leading up to ZXWWF 'Mania II, the feud continues to a boiling point, including the two couples facing off in singles action and a steel cage tornado tag team match before arriving at the grandest stage of them all. While ZX faces T-Bone in a Xtreme Triathlon at ZXWWF 'Mania II, Mariah faces Emily in a Best of Three Falls match later on the card. 1st Fall - Mariah wins after catching Emily offguard with a Vision of Love (Super Neckbreaker Pin). 2nd Fall - Emily kicks after Mariah deals out another Vision of Love, 2 Hot for TV (Booker T Special), and Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music 2) only to retailiate with a Bonebreaker (Death Valley Driver) for the win. 3rd Fall - Emily ducks a desperation Heartbreaker and nails the Bonebreaker to win again. Emily may have gotten the victory at ZXWWF 'Mania II, but Mariah gets the last laugh at the following Monday Night Mayhem.

The Golden Girls of Glamour - Women's Tag Team Domination

On the April 7, 2007 edition of Monday Mayhem, ZX was accompanied to the ring by Marlena (Terri Runnels), Mariah, and Sensational Mary as a trio of women he dubbed his Golden Girls of Glamour. Many compared this union to "Macho Man" Randy Savage's own Team Madness faction whereas he surrounded himself with the female company of Madusa, Miss Madness, and Gorgeous George. On their debut, Marlena and Mariah defeated the team of Double D, clearing making a heel turn as they attacked their competition after the match. The following weeks leading up to the Condemned 2007 PPV, she assisted ZX in his matches and Mary in her own as reigning Undisputed Champion of ZXWWF.

On the April 30, 2007 edition of Monday Mayhem, Mariah delivered one of T-Bone's most embarrassing defeats in his career by pinning him in a Singles match with ZX and Marlena at ringside. ZX and his Glamour Girls get their just desserts the following week as "Lady D" Ashley, T-Bone, Emily, and Sunny publicly humiliate them in the ring. The following week the team of ZX, Marlena, and Mariah face off against T-Bone, Emily, and Ashley. After some foul play in the form of a Golden Shower (Tajiri Mist) from Marlena, T-Bone gets eliminated first by a school boy roll up pin by ZX. Mariah gave Emily no mercy as she attempted to come to T-Bone's aid but tasted a Heartbreaker from Mariah instead. Mariah finished her off with a 2 Hot for TV to leave Ashley all by herself. Lady D resisted defeat with a Spin-Out Powerbomb to Marlena and Shoulder Block to Mariah. Ashley went to finish Mariah off with a Death Dealer but got X'd Out by her own brother, ZX. ZX and his Golden Girls could have ended the match right there but they continuously assault Ashley in middle of ring with all of their finishing moves, until Marlena hits a final She-Devil Bomb to Lady D. Marlena pins Ashley while ZX (think MVP's entrance ramp taunt) and Mariah pose to add to the insult.

The week prior to the Redemption 2007 PPV pitted ZX and Mariah w/ Marlena against T-Bone and Emily w/ Ashley. This match turned out to be total chaos as it was entirely just a huge brawl ringside. This match ended in a no contest as both teams were outside of the ring for a 10 count to lose by ring out. Still this didn't stop ZX and his Golden Girls to stop their assault. After making short work of both Ashley and Emily, the Golden Girls handcuffed T-Bone to the corner and held a steel chair in his face for ZX to repeatedly X'd Out (Sweet Chin Music) to T-Bone until he was a bloody mess. After the match, ZX announced that Carla approved of his "input" for their PPV matches, thus booking himself vs. T-Bone in a South Carolina Street Fight then Marlena and Mariah against the team of Ashley and Emily. Marlena and Mariah made short work of Lady D after a She-Devil Bomb (Samoan Drop) from the turnbuckle after raking her face across the cage fencing. Mariah finished her off with a 2 Hot for TV (Sweet Chin Music 2) to leave Emily all alone. Marlena backed off as she knew Emily and Mariah had unfinished business from 'Mania and she let them go at it in peace. Emily successfully countered another 2 Hot for TV attempt with an Emily Wings (Angel Wings) after ducking the boot (err..heel in Mariah's case). Mariah kicks out at 1 and retailiates with a Kiss the Carpet (Fame-Asser). That leaves Emily out cold on the floor as Mariah and Marlena thingyily exit the cage to take the win. Emily takes the mic afterwards and challenges Mariah to a Last Diva Standing match tomorrow night on Monday Mayhem to settle their rivalry for good and determine who's the better diva. Mariah comments, "I'll be glad to shut up a loser like you for good."

On the following night, Emily tried as her best but not even a top rope Emily Wings could keep the Daredevil Diva down. Emily gets desperate and dishes out the Emily-nation (Death Valley Driver). That only keeps Mariah down for the count of 8 but Emily comes flying off the turnbuckle with a diving cross body but completely eats a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) from Mariah. Emily was out like a light and stayed down for the ten count as Mariah laughed, "That was too easy."

On the June 5, 2007 edition of Monday Mayhem, the team of Punk Princesses (Jesse Aguilera & Punk Stacy) are defeated by the Asian Sensations (Concubine & Kasset Tsunami). Angelic Insanity comes from the audience to attack them afterwards but to the Asian Sensations, Punk Princesses, and Angelic Insanity's surprise, ZX's Golden Girls, Mariah and Marlena charge down to the ring and take out all 6 Divas with a flurry of She-Devil Bombs, 2 Hot for TV's, and Heartbreakers. Mariah takes the mic and says, "Now, me and Marlena have been nice and quiet for a long time in the back but we've been deserving a shot at either those Women's Tag or Diva Tag Team titles for a while now. We don't care which one of you wins at XHE Last Stand, but just remember that we'll be taking out EVERY diva tag team in ZXWWF until there's no one left but you. So hold onto your precious little titles while you can, as we'll be coming to take what's ours once all the rest of the trash is cleaned up."

On the June 8th edition of Friday Night Livewire, Mariah and Marlena take the ring and call out their first victims upon their journey of taking out all the diva tag teams in ZXWWF. Athena and Carrie Marie are happy to ablige their wish for a challenge tonight. During a 2 Hot for TV attempt from Mariah, Athena counters by lifting Mariah into the air for a Goddess' Wrath but ZX pulls Athena feet from under her, which the referee doesn't see, as Mariah falls on top of her for a quick pinfall to take her out first. Marlena goes for a She's Back Attack (Dudley Dog) but Carrie Marie counters with a Makeover (Unprettier). Just as Carrie Marie turns around, she tastes a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) from Mariah. Mariah follows up by locking in a Texas Cloverleaf in the middle of the ring. Carrie Marie resists the hold until Marlena rebounds off the ropes with several dropkicks to her face. After the 3rd Carrie Marie submits to give the Golden Girls the win. ZX tosses in a steel chair as Mariah locks in the hold again on Carrie Marie as Marlena does a Vandaminator to the face of Carrie Marie, to leave her in a bloody mess in the middle of the ring after the Golden Girls' "Dark Kiss".

The June 11, 2007 edition of Monday Mayhem kicks off with Mariah and Marlena walking down to the ring to face the Asian Sensations with Marlena carrying a clipboard. She sets it down on the announcer's table. Shortly afterwards, JR and King reveal that its a list of ALL of the Diva tag teams in ZXWWF with Pussycat Dolls (Athena & Carrie Marie) already checked off the list. Concubine and Mariah squared off in the ring as an even match to each other but Concubine's speed was a little too much for Mariah to handle. Concubine counters Mariah's early 2 Hot for TV attempt with a counter into the Asian Destroyer (Sunset Flip Pin). A quick save by Marlena broke the pinfall at a 2 count. Concubine tries to get payback for Marlena's interference with a Kuniochi Strike but Marlena counters with a She-Devil Bomb. Kasset makes a save with a double Rising Sun (Ultimo Dragon DDT) on both Mariah and Marlena to earn another near fall. Kasset chases Marlena around the ring and baseball slides between Concubine's legs. Concubine and Kasset stop in their tracks only to receive a double bulldog from Mariah. Mariah stomps her feet three times as she taunts for the Heartbreaker on both Concubine and Kasset back to back, with Marlena finishing off each with a She-Devil Bomb as well to take the win tonight. After the match, Marlena tosses Kasset out of the ring and Mariah locks in a Cloverleaf to Concubine as Marlena grabs a steel chair and dropkicks it into Concubine's face as the audience witnesses the same Dark Kiss that they executed on the Pussycat Dolls on Friday Night. Before leaving to the locker room, Marlena takes the clipboard back and crosses off the Asian Sensations off the list as the camera zooms in to see the Ladies of Extreme (Kirsten & Delta Madison ) next on the list of victims.

On the June 15 edition of Livewire, was history in the making with Mariah and Kirsten facing each other for the first time on ZXWWF programming. Marlena and Delta Madison stayed out of the veteran divas' way as both Kirsten and Mariah tested each other's limits. Mariah gets a nearfall on Kirsten with a Vision of Love (Super Neckbreaker Pin) but Kirsten does the same to Mariah with a springboard DDT followed by a Madison Square Garden (Shooting Star Press) from Delta Madison. Marlena quickly breaks the pin but an angry Kirsten deals a Barbie Twist to Marlena. Mariah goes for a save with a Heartbreaker to force Kirsten to release Marlena before the move was executed and dodge under the kick. Kirsten positions herself for a Barbie Twist to Mariah but the Daredevil Diva elbows her in the gut and counters with a 2 Hot for TV to put the former XHE Vixen Champion down and out. With Kirsten out of the picture, Madison knew what was coming next as Marlena brought in the steel chair. Madison hit Marlena with a Delta Drop onto the steel chair before Marlena had a chance to use it on her. Marlena kicks out at 2 as Mariah watches from a distance for Marlena to get a chance to have some fun in this match. Marlena shoved Madison's shoulder into the turnbuckle and hit a She's Back Attack (Dudley Dog) onto the steel chair to allow the Golden Girls to cross the Ladies of Extreme off their checklist. As always, Mariah and Marlena didn't stop there. Marlena held a steel chair to Madison's face as Mariah hit her with a several Heartbreakers back to back until the referee and medical staff forced them to stop as they came to provide Madison with medical support.

On the June 18 edition of Mayhem, Mariah & Marlena stand in the ring, pleased with their accomplishments of taking out all of diva tag teams in ZXWWF, as Mariah makes the challenge to both the Punk Princesses and Angelic Insanity, "We don't care which one of you gals end up surviving with the titles after XHE Last Stand but we'll be here to put you bitches out of your misery as we take those titles off your hands. So, don't get too comfortable with them ladies." Mariah and Marlena are about to exit the ring until Emily comes out and says, "Umm, there's one more tag team you two haven't defeated yet. Carla gave me the right to pick any diva on the ZXWWF roster and I chose a winner to be my partner tonight...a Diva Search winner. Pamela Miller to be exact." Mariah and Marlena rolls their eyes as both Emily and Pamela storm down into the ring. Mariah goes for a quick ending with a Heartbreaker to Emily but Emily catches her foot and locks in the Emily-nator (Ankle Lock) while Pamela hits Marlena with a Miller Light (Lita DDT) when she attempts to make a save. Mariah grabs the ropes for a save to force Emily to break the hold while Marlena barely kicks out after Pamela's finisher. The Diva Search Winner didn't show any signs of ring rust after such a long absence from the ring but it still wasn't enough to put Marlena down for good. A piledriver from America's Golden Girl followed by a diving cross body pin took Pamela out of the match tonight. Emily and Mariah's brawl continued with Emily going for the kill with the Emily Wings but Mariah counters with a Fantasy Remix to take the win tonight. Marlena tosses in the steel chairs as usual to begin the abuse to both Emily first and Pamela Miller with a Dark Kiss (Texas Cloverleaf & Vandaminator combo) to each of them. Mariah gets in Emily's face after they leave her a bloody mess, "This thing between me and you is done, Emily. Deal with it. 'Mania was a fluke and you won't be beating me, EVER again. Besides, it's ruining your health, sugah."

On the June 22 edition of Livewire, Mariah and Marlena face against the team of reigning XHE Vixen Champion Amanda and Sheena Marie. The cocky Golden Girls come down to the ring carrying their signature steel chair that's been used for the past few weeks in their deadly Dark Kiss tag team maneuver with each of the teams they've defeated names written on it. All the names are crossed out except for the Psycho-Divas, Sheena Marie and XHE Vixen Champion Amanda. Before they enter the ring, Amanda greets them ringside by smashing her bottle of tequila across Mariah's head while Sheena spears Marlena into the steel steps. Amanda tosses Mariah into the ring for the match to officially start and goes for a quick pinfall. Mariah kicks out barely at 2. Sheena and Marlena continue to fight ringside until another Sheena Spear puts both divas through the barricade and into the audience. Mariah tries to get her standing back into this match with a Kiss the Carpet (Fame-Asser) followed by a Fantasy (Shooting Star Press). The Vixen Champion kicks out at 1 as Mariah gets frustrated and goes for a quick end with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Jesse Aguilera goes to attack Amanda but hits Mariah with a Jesse DDT instead to earn the Golden Girls the win by interference. At the XHE Last Stand PPV, the Golden Girls join the team on commentary during the Divas Tag/Women's Tag Team Championship unification match whereas Angelic Insanity picks up the win over the Punk Princesses. After the match, the Golden Girls are about to hand Angelic Insanity both the Women's Tag and Diva Tag titles only smash the titles across their faces instead to leave them out cold on the mat. The weeks following this attack pitted the Golden Girls against Angelic Insanity in a series of singles matches. Justice defeats Marlena in a best body contest all while Angelic Insanity seems to be immune to the dismemberment that the previous teams that the Golden Girls have faced in the past.

The July 20th edition of Livewire starts off with Mariah and Marlena taking the ring, Mariah on the mic after calling down Angelic Insanity to the ring, "How does it feel, ladies? Your last 48 hours until your 'rentals' on our ZXWWF Women's Tag Team titles are up. We'll be glad to have you two just hand those to us on Sunday or we can always do things the rough way like it usually is around here." Nicole snatches the mic from Mariah, "We've proven time and time again that Justice and I are hands down the best women's tag team here in ZXWWF. We aren't handing you two anything. We'll tell you just like everyone else who wanted our titles. If you want some, come get some this Sunday. But tonight, I'll be glad to give you a taste of the ass-kicking you're going to receive." Nicole tosses the mic to the floor and spears Mariah to the mat as the referee ushers Marlena and Justice out the ring after the ring bell signals the start of the match. Mariah manages to get Nicole from off her with a kick in the midsection and goes to end this one quick with a 2 Hot for TV (Booker T Special). Nicole backs up in time and kicks Mariah in the midsection and hits her with her own 2 Hot for TV. Nicole rolls up Mariah for a quick pinfall to take the win tonight as her and Justice walk up the ramp back to the locker room laughing, while Mariah stands in the ring steaming mad.

At the Summertime Suffering 2007 PPV event, the Golden Girls of Glamour came into the match for the coveted gold seeing red after their past insults from Angelic Insanity from the past two weeks on Livewire. The reigning Women's Tag Team champs didn't have any plans for losing tonight as they fought just as ferocious as the no. 1 contenders did. Justice stopped a Heartbreaker attempt from Mariah to Nicole with a springboard variation of her Hard Justice (BackCracker) from the ring ropes. Marlena decks Justice with a vicious clothesline which knocks the referee out of the ring in the process. Sensational Mary comes down to the ring and delivers a double Beauty Mask to both Nicole and Justice as she's revealed to be The Golden Girls of Glamour's 3rd member. Mariah tosses the referee back into the ring as Marlena cockily pins both divas to earn her first taste of ZXWWF gold in her career. After the match, Mary, Mariah, and Marlena attack both Nicole and Justice with all of their finishing moves (Beauty Mask, She-Devil Bomb, and 2 Hot for TV) and ends the insult to the former Women's Tag Team Champions with a Dark Kiss to both divas AFTER another double Beauty Mask onto the steel chairs in the middle of the ring.

The following month continued the feud, leading up to a rematch at the Patriotic Punishment 2007 PPV, but this time, Sensational Mary was in her fellow Golden Girls' corner while Sunny accompanied Angelic Insanity. Justice hits Marlena with a Hand of Justice (Showstopper) but Mariah breaks the pin. Marlena, after a thunderous DDT to Justice, manages to tag in Mariah, while Justice lunges forward to tag in Nicole. Mariah greets Nicole into the match with a Heartbreaker and goes for a pin. Justice was about to break the pin but Sensational Mary pulls her down from the ring apron for the Golden Girls of Glamour to retain. Sunny dropkicks Mary in her back, which only manages to stagger her. Mary turns around to chase Sunny around the ring and into Marlena's clutches who tosses her into the ring. Mary slides a steel chair into the ring for Mariah and Marlena ruin Sunny's pretty face with a Dark Kiss but Nicole and Justice come to the rescue just in the nick of time. After the PPV, things between Angelic Insanity and the Golden Girls heated up. The other Divas and Vixens of ZXWWF banded together to assist Angelic Insanity in dethroning the Golden Girls for good. The Golden Girls sought to keep their place at the top of the hierarchy, injuring Mistress Amy with a Dark Kiss after a tag team match on Monday Mayhem. Angelic Insanity got revenge in the form of a singles victory over Sensational Mary that following week on Livewire but the Golden Girls got the last laugh after revealing footage of Mariah and Marlena special delivering a Dark Kiss to Delta Madison (a close friend of Nicole and Kirsten at the time) at her apartment home.

At the appropriately named Day of Reckoning 2007 PPV, the Women's Tag Team Championship was on the line in a special 3 on 3 Falls Count Anywhere Elimination Tag Team match. Angelic Insanity was represented by Justice, Nicole, and Kirsten with Amanda Cortez accompanying them to the ring, whereas the Golden Girls consisted of Mariah, Marlena, and Sensational Mary with Sable accompanying them to the ring. Marlena and Nicole start the match. Marlena counters a clothesline from Nicole for a She-Devil Bomb but Justice pulls her away to catch Nicole to execute the maneuver with a Justice Is Served (Back Cracker) and knocks Mary from the apron in the process. Mariah runs in to attempt to break the pin after Sable provides some distraction to the referee. Amanda tries to stop Sable's antics but a recovered Chyna comes from the audience to attack Amanda. Oddly enough, Sable isn't the only one with back-up as the recovered Mistress Amy comes to Amanda's aid as they both double team the 8th Wonder. Kirsten manages to hinder Mariah's save with a headscissor takedown as Marlena is eliminated first. Now the match gets even more interesting as Mary and Mariah join in against Kirsten, Nicole, and Justice 2 on 3. Mariah delivers a Heartbreaker on wake up (term for us fighting game pros for while standing up) to Kirsten as she tried to continue the onslaught. Mary combos her with a Beauty Mask to Kirsten. Nicole hits Mary with a dropkick up and over the ropes. Mariah goes for the Vision of Love (Super Neckbreaker Pin) to Justice, but she spins out of it and nails a counter with the Hand of Justice (Showstopper). Kirsten and Nicole perform two Royal Flushes (Swanton Bomb) back to back on the Daredevil Diva to eliminate her 2nd and leaving Mary all alone in this match. Marlena and Mariah refuse to leave ringside though and assist Chyna in taking out both Amanda and Amy. Marlena pulls out the steel chairs as they return back into the ring to assist Mary from Kirsten, Nicole, and Justice. Nicole and Justice go for a double suplex on Mary but she counters with a double Beauty Mask instead. Kirsten went to assist her friends but got dealt a Con-Chair-to from both Marlena and Mariah. Sable is about to join in the action but she's attacked by Sunny returning back from injury. This gives Amanda and Amy time to storm the ring and aid Nicole and Justice in taking out Mariah and Marlena as this huge catfight (Mariah, Marlena, Sable, Chyna vs. Nicole, Justice, Amanda, Mistress Amy, Sunny)makes its way up the ramp. Shawn Michaels jumps over the barricade and joins Mary in the ring as she stalks a bloodied Kirsten for a Beauty Mask. HBK taunts for his Sweet Chin Music to tell Mary to let him finish her off. HBK stomps three times and hits Mary with a Sweet Chin Music so hard it knocks her hat off. Kirsten looks in shock as HBK points at the turnbuckle. Kirsten leaps off with a final Royal Flush to Sensational Mary as HBK cuts a DX chop. Kirsten pins Mary to win the Women's Tag titles for Angelic Insanity to end this chaotic match tonight. Aftermatch, Sable is tied up with Amy's whip (after Chyna turns Sable with a Powerbomb on the ramp) as Sunny and Amanda take shots slapping her across the face while Mariah and Marlena get a taste of Angelic Insanity's new tag team maneuver, Touched by an Angel (Snapshot) on the ramp.to win the match.

Not taking losing their precious Women's Tag Team championships lightly, the Golden Girls quickly found themselves at odds with new women's tag teams contesting for the #1 contender spot, namely Blonde Ambition ("The Lovely" Lacey & Talia Summers) and Bad Behavior (Amanda Cortez & a returning Mistress Amy).

On the September 24, 2007 edition of Monday Mayhem, Amanda picked up a win against the Golden Girls' then-ally Sable. The Golden Girls of Glamour appear on the monitor to applaud Amanda's win, "To be perfectly honest, we're not surprised at this result. Well done, Amanda. (Mistress Amy is shown being choked with her own whip by Marlena with Mary holding Amy, while Mariah speaks towards the camera) We've been through this before, Amanda. We could just put your little friend's lights out here and now and don't even have to worry about you freakshows, but no, this time the Golden Girls of Glamour are going to do exactly what we did to the Asian Sensations, Ladies of Extreme, and Punk Princesses. We're going to take you all out one by one, until there's no one left but Angelic Insanity. We're going to take back what's properly ours, the Women's Tag Team titles, and prove without a doubt we're the most dangerous women in ZXWWF. (They toss Mistress Amy to the floor, unharmed) See ya in the ring next week, Amy, as you and your buddy Amanda will be the first women's tag team we're going to wipe out of ZXWWF."

The Golden Girls kept their word on making their presence known as strong contenders for the title but Bad Behavior and Blonde Ambition proved they weren't going down without a fight. At the Pick Your Poison 2007 PPV, the three teams squared off in a Last Team Standing match for the #1 Contender spot to face Angelic Insanity. In what was one of the biggest shockers of the night, this match started as a 4 on 2 with both Bad Behavior AND Blonde Ambition fully focused on the Golden Girls of Glamour. Lacey was caught mid-air during a vaulting body press out of the ring on Marlena but Talia Summers sent Marlena to the floor with a dropkick to her partner’s back to turn Lacey’s folly into a cross body. Meanwhile, Mariah manages to kill Amanda’s BGB attempt but Mariah’s showboating after the move allows Mistress Amy to hit a Capital Punishment on the Daredevil Diva on a steel chair. Amy quickly pins Mariah for force the Golden Girls to be eliminated from this match first. Mariah and Marlena refuse to leave until they left their mark, namely in the form of a Dark Kiss to Amanda and Amy while the newly signed Women’s tag team of Krissy Vaine and Nattie Neidhart Con-Chair-to Blonde Ambition. Both of the Golden Girls along with Krissy/Nattie are ushered backstage by the referee and security as both remaining teams are left out cold ringside and in the middle of the ring. The crimson-faced Amanda and Mistress Amy are first to their feet and make short work to Lacey and Talia Summers. Amy chokes Lacey with a sleeper hold assisted by her whip as Talia is taken out with a No. 1 Stunna from Amanda followed by a pinfall for Bad Behavior to earn the right to face Angelic Insanity this week on Livewire for the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Taking their frustration out on Trish Stratus the next night on the October 15 episode of Monday Mayhem after being asked by Vixen Champion Raven, the Golden Girls delivered a Dark Kiss to the Women's Champion. After the titles are mysteriously vacated by Bad Behavior, the Golden Girls takes place in the first ever Armageddon Hell in a Cell Match to crown new Women's Tag Team champions on the special Halloween taping of Livewire on October 26, 2007. The first two teams, Nicole and Justice, Angelic Insanity and Mariah and Marlena, The Golden Girls of Glamour are in the ring, awaiting the third team. An unfamiliar theme is heard and Trixie Callaway of this year's Diva Search appears on stage, looking as though she's finally making her debut. The music cuts and Trixie is left waiting for her parnter for the match, who turns out to be Nicole's own sister, Kirsten. The two head into the ring to complete the teams, as the cell is put into place. The match starts with a member of each team going immediately after a member of another, with Justice going after Mariah, Nicole locking up with Trixie as Kirsten and Marlena go at it. The match really gets going when the action heads outside the ring. Kirsten slams Marlena's head hard into the steel cell, causing her to bleed in the early going. Meanwhile, Justice and Nicole have gained the advantage themselves by managing a double DDT on Mariah, followed by a Double Flapjack on Trixie outside the ring. Kirsten continues the assault on Marlena, having connected with several moves, followed by a pin attempt, which only reached a two count. With more back and forth action, the momentum has shifted to Kirsten and Trixie who look to win the match after Kirsten hits Mariah with a Barbie Twist. As she goes for the cover, it is both members of Angelic Insanity who break it up. Kirsten gets up, not looking too pleased with her sister, but deals with it and moves on by going back to assaulting Mariah. After help to break Kirsten's pin attempt, Justice turns around, only to be faced with a Samoan Drop from Marlena. Later on, as Justice, Mariah, Trixie and Kirsten still fighting in the ring, Nicole goes for a Fallen Angel (Tombstone Piledriver Pin) on Marlena on top of the Cell. Kirsten climbs the cell, going to break any pin attempt her sister may make, but instead of going for the cover, Nicole is distracted by Mariah who is shouting some smack outside the Cell. Trixie and Justice go over to Mariah, and the three start a brawl, leading to a catfight. Kirsten looks at her sister, before saying something to her and pointing down to Marlena, then from the top of the Cell, Kirsten dives off, connecting with a Royal Flush to all three outside the Cell. With most of the competitors down and out, and as Marlena begins to rise to her feet, Nicole connects with a Nic Kick to her, knocking her through the ceiling of the cell. She jumps down to the ring where the broken body of Marlena is, before pinning her on mat for the win, and for her to become the new Women's Tag Team Champion (once again after losing the titles last week), alongside Justice.
Again, the Golden Girls lost their opportunity to regain their lost Women's Tag Team Championships but they are not discouraged. On the November 5th edition of Monday Mayhem, the Golden Girls of Glamour (Mariah, Marlena, Sensational Mary) arrive down to the ring after the commercial break. Marlena is wearing a robe to conceal her outfit. Sensational Mary has a microphone in hand, "All you other divas in ZXWWF should just do yourselves a favor and not even show up at Dead or Alive. Now since our good friend Anesthesia has proved of the only ZXWWF Diva to become a Hall of Famer entry into the Women's/Vixen Division Gauntlet match, all of you other Divas can go ahead and consider yourselves dead. It's a shame that the other Golden Girls couldn't grace this match as well." Mariah takes the mic, "It's alright, Mary. It would come down to us three anyway, but Anesthesia did give us something to do at the PPV though. Marlena, how about you give everyone a taste of what to expect from the Golden Girls of Glamour this Sunday!" Marlena laughs, "With pleasure!" Marlena opens her robe to reveal a sexy referee attire she's made. Mariah speaks again, "That's right, ladies and gentlemen. At Dead or Alive, the Golden Girls of Glamour have been appointed the special guest referees to make sure everything runs smoothly. You can guarantee that we'll make sure the Diva Gauntlet match is one to remember!"

On the November 9th taping of Livewire, Nattie Neidhart makes her ZXWWF debut in a match against Lacey. Nattie Neidhart shows off her in-ring skills as ZXWWF’s first ever third generation diva with an impressive near-fall on Lacey with a German Suplex pin. Lacey kicks out of it just as the Golden Girls of Glamour come down to the ring and tell Nattie to get lost politely. Mariah takes the mic and gets in Lacey’s face, “We’re right here, now, hun. Let’s see you shut us up.” Without a second of hesitation, Lacey and Talia Summers slap both Mariah and Marlena across the face and dropkick them simultaneously up and over the ropes out on the floor. Anesthesia stands at the top of the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand, “Girls, you should have known that I wouldn’t give you anything for free! If you want that precious right to referee the Diva Gauntlet match, then you’ll have to defeat Blonde Ambition this Sunday but if they win, they will be the special guest referees to that match!”

At the Dead or Alive 2007 PPV, Angel comes out at the start of the match with a special addition to the rules - if Sensational Mary gets involved she loses her spot in the 25 Diva Gauntlet match. On top of the winners of this match being the special referees to the Diva Gauntlet, they also will be new no. 1 contenders to the Women's Tag Team titles and will face Angelic Insanity this Friday on Livewire when they defend their titles like the rest of ZXWWF's champions will be doing this week on both Mayhem and Livewire. The Golden Girls still were not worried in the least. Marlena pulls Talia by her hair with a snapmare across the ring. Marlena then leaps from the turnbuckle with a foot stamp to Talia's stomach with her high heeled boots. Marlena goes for the win with a pin. Lacey tries to make a save but Mariah intervenes with a bulldog. Talia manages to kick out at 2 while Mariah stalks Lacey for a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music 2). Mariah closes in with the Heartbreaker but ends up hitting Marlena instead after Lacey moves out of the way. Mariah looks puzzled after noticing she just taken out Marlena. Lacey spins her around and drives Mariah to the mat with an Implant DDT. Talia Summers rolls Marlena out of the ring as Lacey applies a Mexican Surfboard to Mariah. Talia Summers jumps from the turnbuckle with a 450 Splash onto Mariah still in the surfboard as the crowd chants, "Holy shit! Holy shit!" Talia Summers pins Mariah after this impressive double team maneuver from Blonde Ambition to earn them their first PPV victory.

Sister, Sister Part I - Mariah vs. Amanda

Clearly noting that Amanda was constantly a threat in getting what the Golden Girls ultimately want, Mariah took it onto herself to permanently rid themselves of their problem with the Angel of Darkness. Things start off with Amanda simply being named as part of the Golden Girls' team for a 5 on 5 tag team match against the team of Kirsten, Angelic Insanity and Blonde Ambition. ZX treated Amanda out for drinks at a nearby bar before the match. When the match started, the Golden Girls left the drunken Amanda to be assaulted by the opposing team only to laugh their way back to the locker room. On the November 26th edition of Monday Mayhem, we find Mariah standing in the ring with a gift box, inviting Amanda to the ring as an exclusive clip from ZXWWF.com is played of Amanda assaulting Mariah after last week’s special Thanksgiving show. Amanda comes to the ring, more than eager to accept this apology. Mariah smiles, “Amanda, I’m not going to beat around the bush and just say it – I’m sorry about what me and the rest of the Golden Girls did to you last week, I’m sorry that just about every Vixen in ZXWWF had a hand in kicking your ass last week, and I’m sorry you’re the renown whore of the locker room.” Amanda motions to attack Mariah but she rolls under the ropes still talking on the microphone, “Amanda, you should be ashamed of yourself. (Mariah pulls out a list) You’ve been with Jonathan Magnum…no surprise there… Randy Orton, Mistress Amy, Shawn Damian, Marcus Brett, Trina Lash, Sheena Marie, Brooke Adams, James Bowen, AND The Big Show! When is this going to end Amanda? These is wrestling not a whore house, and for once have some respect for yourself, you’re a married woman! What would your precious Gabriel Wingue do if he found out about this?” Amanda is chasing Mariah around the ring out of rage now while Mariah still taunts her, “What are you mad at me for? If you’re looking for the whore who ruined your marriage just look in the mirror! Or even better, the monitor!” At that moment, short clips of Amanda leaving into the locker rooms of the Superstars mentioned earlier is played on the monitor. Mariah laughs, “If anyone wants the uncut version, the X-Terminators and the Golden Girls of Glamour are selling them after tonight’s show!” Amanda snatches the steel chair from under Lilian Garcia sitting next to the announcer’s table, as she is only seeing red now that she is so mad. Mariah adds, “Amanda, I wouldn’t do anything rash if I were you. Or I can just make one phone call to Mary and Marlena to permanently take out your precious Gabe or even better, give him an advanced screening of your exploits. We won’t tell him anything as long as you do everything I say.” A clip is shown of Mary and Marlena treating Gabe to dinner since he recently recovered from injury. Amanda slides into the ring with steel chair in hand, staring Mariah face-to-face for a few moments until she drops the steel chair and falls to her knees. With tears running down her face, Amanda promises to do whatever Mariah and the Golden Girls of Glamour say.

At the Devils May Cry 2007 PPV, Amanda confesses her affairs to Gabe before Mariah arrives to the building for what she thinks will be an easy win for their Street Fight match on the card. This fight begins backstage as soon as Mariah's limo arrives to the building. Mariah doesn't mind ruining a good limo either as she delivers a Heartbreaker on Amanda that sends her head through one of the glass windows. With blood running down her face, this only seemed to fuel Amanda's thirst for revenge even more for all that Mariah helped set into motion for almost ruining her marriage with Gabe, as she performed a modified Drop Out maneuver on Mariah through the limo's windshield. Just as Amanda was going to pull Mariah out of the limo's front seat for even more punishment, Mistress Amy comes from the shadows to attack Amanda. Mistress Amy repeatedly strikes her with her whip until Amanda is on her knees, "You're going to suffer for what you've done to me! What Mariah did to you and your precious Gabriel is going to be child's play to what I have planned for you!" Mariah crawls out of the limo to assist Amy as Mariah stands Amanda up as Amy looks at herself in her vanity mirror. "What a pretty sight! Such filth like you should be removed for there won't be any hope of you contaminating my beauty!" laughs Amy. Amy charges at Amanda with her mirror but Amanda breaks loose from Mariah's grasp as Amy breaks her mirror across Mariah's head instead of Amanda's. Amy is hit by a No. 1 Stunna (Stunner 3) from Amanda and she covers the bloodied Mariah to take the win in this last PPV event of 2007.

Eves of Evolution - Kirsten is in, Marlena is out

On the season premiere at the start of 2008, there's a misunderstanding between the Golden Girls of Glamour. After a Devils May Cry rematch with the Vixen Championship on the line between Kirsten, Azriel, and Nattie Neidhart, the Golden Girls of Glamour (Mariah, Marlena, Sensational Mary) storm the ring and attack Kirsten after tossing Azriel and Nattie Neidhart out of the ring. Marlena slaps Kirsten across the face while Mary holds Kirsten in place. Mariah readies a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music 2) and goes for the kill. Kirsten kicks Marlena in the way to take the blow. The Golden Girls start arguing among themselves while Kirsten manages to escape during the confusion. Big Show and ZX come down to the ring to separate the Golden Girls and carry them backstage – ZX carries Mariah while Big Show carries Mary and Marlena under each arm.

This ill will towards Marlena continues the following week (January 28) whereas Marlena costs them the match against Ayumi and Ami. Later that night, Mariah squares off against Angel Storm. Both divas stare down at the start of the match until Angel Storm slaps her to the mat. Angel Storm wastes no time in applying a Camel Clutch. Mariah makes it to the ropes but the damage is already done to the Wildfyre Diva (yes, folks, I’ve given her a new nickname). Mariah goes ringside to catch her breath. That isn’t for long as Angel Storm reaches over the ropes to pull her back in by the hair. Mariah counters with a jawbreaker on the apron and hits Angel Storm with a Vision of Love (Super Neckbreaker Pin) but only manages to score a near-fall. Mariah is pissed now as she stalks Angel Storm for a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music 2). Marlena rushes down to the ringside area, taunting Mariah to come settle their differences. Mariah demands that she come into the ring but before Mariah knows it Angel Storm rolls her up with a school boy pin to steal the win from under her nose. Angel Storm leaves the ring as Sensational Mary ambushes Marlena from behind and tosses her into the ring. ZX, Randy Orton and Big Show rush to the scene as Mayhem takes its last commercial break for the night. As Mayhem returns from the break, Orton and Big Show have the Golden Girls of Glamour separated. ZX shouts to the ladies, “You three need to stop acting so damn childish! I want you three to make up for this crap. I don’t need you at each other’s throats – I need you three winning that gold around here!” Orton and Big Show let the girls go. Sensational Mary reluctantly opens her arms for a hug to Marlena, apologizing for the accident earlier tonight. Just as Mary hugs Marlena, ZX gives a thumbs up which quickly turns to a thumbs down as Mary turns the hug into a Beauty Mask (Complete Shot) in the middle of the ring. Mariah then takes the mic, “It’s high time we’ve taken you out of the picture. You’re nothing but dead weight to this team. Ever since we took you under our wing, you’ve done nothing but hog our glory.” Mariah then rips Marlena’s gold gown off her body leaving her in her bra and panties. Mary takes the mic, “She’s right back where we found that slut, lying on her back!” ZX kneels down to Marlena out cold in the middle of the ring, “Marlena, it’s been fun but meet your replacement.” To everyone’s surprise, Vixen Champion Kirsten comes down to the ring to deliver the finishing blow to Marlena in the form of a Royal Flush (450 Splash).

On the February 4 edition of Mayhem, the Eves faced the team of "The Kat" Carrie Marie, Ayumi and Ami in an Elimination Tag Team match. The combined efforts of the Vixen Champion and the powerhouses of the former Golden Girls proved to be too much for Carrie Marie and the Asian sensations. Ami and Ayumi’s tag team maneuvers were killed the instant Mariah took out Ayumi mid-air with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music 2) when Ami and Ayumi attempted a Poetry in Motion. Before Ami could aid her fallen little sister, she’s taken out quickly with a Beauty Mask (Complete Shot). Carrie Marie attempts to stop the double pins on her teammates but a Crucifix hold from Kirsten holds her at bay. After Ami and Ayumi are eliminated, Mariah wastes no time in delivering another Heartbreaker to the prone Carrie Marie with Kirsten still applying the hold. Carrie Marie taps out shortly afterwards to grant the Eves the win tonight. Backstage, Terri Runnels (formerly Marlena) watches the match on the monitor smiling to herself. Oddly enough she isn’t mad at all after the way she was embarrassed last week on Mayhem. Terri simply applauds their win and talks to an old friend on her cell phone, closing the door in the cameraman’s face.

On the February 11 edition of Mayhem, ZX and Mariah face Shia Storm and Angel Storm in a special "Couples of Chaos" match themed for the upcoming Valentine's Day. Shia Storm and ZX square off in the ring while Angel Storm yanks Mariah from the apron to attack her ringside. Big Show and Randy Orton comes down to the ring to assist ZX but they get some unwelcome company from Nemesis. Orton gets payback from his interference earlier by being shoved into the steel steps, thanks to the Undead Phenom. The Bros. of Destruction attempt to aid Shia Storm as well but they are met by the brick wall known as the Big Show as he double clotheslines both of them as they run down the ramp. Meanwhile, in the ring, Shia and Angel Storm are about to win the match with a double Severe Storm (Dreamer Driver). ZX and Mariah both wiggle free and slide behind Shia and Angel Storm to shove them into the Undead Phenom who was about to enter the ring but sends him crashing to the floor instead. ZX and Mariah perform a simultaneous school boy roll up on the Storms to steal the win tonight. Big Show carries a hurt Orton on his shoulder while ZX and Mariah wave laughing at Shia and Angel Storm.

On the February 18 edition of Mayhem, ZX/Mariah face Shia/Angel and Nemesis with a mystery partner. ZX and Mariah along with Shia Storm and Angel Storm are standing in the ring after the last commercial break of the night as they wait for Nemesis to arrive to the ring with whoever is going to be his partner for his match. Nemesis walks down to the ring alone, ready to take on both teams single-handedly. Terri Runnels stops him at the ramp.

Terri: “Whoa, Nemesis, I know you don’t want or need any help but it would be awful of me to properly thank ZX and the Eves of Evolution especially that bitch Mariah for what they’ve done to me. (ZX and Mariah taunt Terri to come to the ring) No, no, the partner I have in mind is a good friend of mine who’s been wrestling in the UK for quite some time now and she’s finally been signed by ZXWWF as part of the Mayhem roster. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, Rian Masters.”

Rian Masters gives Terri a hi-five as she walks out from the curtain and charges down to the ring with Nemesis. Nemesis stops the incoming ZX and Shia Storm with a double Flapjack while Rian Masters elbows Angel Storm in the throat then back kicks Mariah in the midsection. Rian Masters then rebounds from the ropes with a cross body into both of the divas. Just as Nemesis and Rian Masters plan to finish off both teams, LAX’s theme plays as they come through down to the ring (Tygress pushes Konnan in a wheelchair). Hernandez and Homicide storm the ring as everyone in the arena wonders why they are out here. Konnan directs them to clean house as Big Hernandez sends Nemesis flying out of the ring with a Crackerjack (Belly to Belly) over the top rope. ZX and Shia are caught up into their own brawling with each other as its too late as Homicide and Hernandez spin them around for their finishing moves. Shia gets a healthy dose of the Gringo Killa from Homicide while Hernandez lifts ZX for the Border Toss. Hernandez sets him back down at the last second as Rian Masters is distracted and takes a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) from Mariah. Hernandez holds Angel Storm in place as Mariah invites Tygress into the ring. Both of them take turns slapping her until ZX gives the cue to send her flying with a Border Toss to join her husband out cold on the mat.

Mariah then represented the Eves of Evolution as part of the Riot Control 2008 PPV's Women's Tag Team Riot (Royal Rumble style match), where she entered at #7 and eliminated Talia Summers, Ayumi, and Nicole before being eliminated at #10 by Candy Cane who won the match shortly afterwards for Hard Candy.

On the February 29th edition of Livewire, the Eves make a special appearance with the X-Terminators on this second brand of ZXWWF, squaring off against Angelic Insanity and Blonde Ambition. A member from each team starts out in the ring. Lacey, Nicole and Mariah start out the match. Each woman gets into an argument with one another as Mariah lands the first punch on Lacey. Nicole spears Mariah to the ground but Lacey gets her off and hits a snap suplex. A huge fight breaks out as all the members of the team run into the ring to fight each other. Angelic Insanity calls for the aid of Kirsten who is outside the ring but Kirsten turns her back on them and helps Eve of Evolution. Before anyone notices Hard Candy runs into the ring with their guitars but at this point Blonde Ambition have gotten their title belts and they smash then on Hard Candy and Eves of Evolution ending the match in a disqualification. Teams are left decimated on the floor as the Blonde Ambition and Rain leave.

On the March 10th edition of Mayhem, the Eves face against Ayumi and Ami. The Eves of Evolution yawn at their challengers tonight, insulting their in-ring ability. That proves to be a mistake as Ami powers Mariah into the turnbuckle with a shoulder thrust and Irish whips Mary (who was charging in to assist) to join her in the corner. Ami gets on all fours as Ayumi steps off her back with a Body Splash to both divas in the corner. Just as Ami and Ayumi were about to finish off the Eves as they groggily staggered from the corner, Kirsten takes them out with her Vixen Championship belt. ODB rushes to the scene and DDTs Kirsten to the mat, nips back up to the floor, sending the crowd into a frenzy, cheering her antics on as ODB took a sip from her flask. The referee renders the match win for Ami and Ayumi via DQ as the Eves assist Kirsten out of the ring as the ODB helps Ami and Ayumi to their feet.

On the March 24th edition of Mayhem, the Eves face off against "Kiss of Death" Evan and Danni Hunter. Still rather pissed from their skirmish with their PPV opponents being cut short, Evan and Danni sought to take it out on the Eves tonight. That task proved to be harder than expected. The Eves of Evolution were no pushovers in the least. Mariah springboards from the ropes with a hurricanrana to Evan and follows up with a cartwheel elbow drop to the grounded Kiss of Death. Evan tries to get to Danni for a tag but a hair pull snapmare and dropkick from Mariah prevents that from happening. Mariah tags in Mary who insults Evan with a Calf Stomp (or is it Curb Stomp in-game? Anywho you get the message :P) Mary walks over to Danni, whose anxious to get in, and slaps her across the face. Danni cocks her head back and headbutts Mary on retaliation. Evan scores a Flash Back on Mary while she’s staggering backwards and gets the tag to Danni afterwards. Mariah charges in to aid Mary against Danni’s Shiny Toy Guns (Shooting Star Press) but Mariah’s held at bay with a Kiss of Death (Kiss followed by a Twist of Fate) from Evan. Danni connects with the Shiny Toy Guns and picks up the win by pinfall.

On the April 7th edition of Mayhem, Mariah faces Rian Masters in Singles action. Mariah cocky as she is, merely toys with rookie diva Rian Masters while her so-called teammates for ‘Mania watch ringside. Mariah whips her into the corner and chokes her with her foot. Mary distracts the referee as Mariah rubs her heel in the bottom of Rian’s throat. Angel Storm pulls Mary down from the ring apron as ODB spears Mariah to the mat and away from Masters. Angel Storm smashes Mary’s face repeatedly on the steel steps until Mary elbows her in the gut and invites her to taste steel with a Beauty Mask (Complete Shot) on the steps. ODB slides out of the ring before the referee turns around but right into Kirsten smashing the Vixen Championship across her face. Rian mocks Mariah, stomping her feet 5 times in the corner (in preparation for the Heartbreaker/Sweet Chin Music 2) and stalks a groggy Mariah with The Masterpiece (Flip Bottom). Mariah lands her feet behind her, and cocks back with a Heartbreaker to Rian’s face as she turns around confused. Mariah covers Masters to take the win tonight as the Eves are 1 and Team ODB are 0 tonight.

The following week on the April 14th edition of Mayhem, Mariah accompanies Mary to her match against Angel Storm. Storm and Mary get into a brawl and fight it out. Mary takes the advantage early on delivering crippling right hands on Angel. Angel staggers back and rebounds off the rope as Mary picks her up and hit a body slam. Mary picks up Angel but Angel fights back landing a dropkick on Mary. Angel gets onto the top rope and soars down with a diving clothesline. Mary counters with a mid-air Beauty Mask (Complete Shot) but somehow Angel Storm manages to kick out from the pin attempt at 2. With a strong punch to the stomach, Angel Storm resisted Mary pulling her to her feet by the hair. Angel Storm follows up with an Oklahoma Slam that seems to knock the air out of the 1st Vixen Hall of Famer. Angel Storm applies a Bow and Arrow hold to sap the last bit of Mary’s strength. Mary resists but it’s too much for her…until she stands up with the hold still applied in and reverses it into a Face Lift (Unprettier). Angel Storm displays a remarkable amount of strength as she breaks free from the Face Lift and hammers Mary to the mat with a Backslide Pin counter. Kirsten and Mary look on in shock as the referee makes the 3 count to name Angel Storm the winner tonight. Team ODB is tied 1 to 1 with the Eves of Evolution.

Mariah (shakes head): “Tonight is SOO not the night to be on your period, Mary.”

On the last Mayhem before 'Mania III, Mariah & Mary team up against Rian Masters & Angel Storm. With their said leader for their match at ‘Mania losing in the opening match of the night, Team ODB already went into this match with tension between its members, as each Vixen on Team ODB has a shot at the Vixen Championship if one of them pins Kirsten on Sunday. The Eves took advantage of this tension tonight. Mary shoves Rian into Angel Storm as she was about to finish Mariah off with a Thunderstorm (Powerslam). Angel Storm shoves Rian Masters back but this catfight is short-lived as Mary delivers a Beauty Mask (Complete Shot) to Angel Storm as she turned around to resume her torment to Mariah while Rian Masters got a healthy serving of a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music 2) from Mariah. The Eves head back to the locker room laughing their heads off while Rian and Angel Storm argue in the middle of the ring until ODB rushes down and breaks up the fight that was about to start between them. The Eves go into the PPV carrying the momentum as their team shows no signs of losing its composure.

At ZXWWF 'Mania III (April 27, 2008), the Eves (Kirsten, Mariah, and Sensational Mary) face against Team ODB (ODB, Angel Storm, and Rian Masters) in a 3-on-3 Tag Team Elimination Match with Kirsten's Vixen Championship gold on the line.Backstage in the Eves of Evolution’s locker room, Kirsten wonders if her partners were ready for tonight’s match. Mary nods but Mariah speaks her mind:

Mariah: “You better not end up being a weak link to this team or we’ll drop you quicker than we did Marlena.”

Kirsten: “What makes you think that? I’ve beaten EVERYONE who has stood in my way since winning this title…and I’ll be damned before I lose it to the Ol’ Dumb Buffalo, Goth Kong, or Miss Susie Nobody.”

Mary: “Well, Miss Champ, it’s about time we’ve tested your worth on this team. We want to see what you can do without us. Sorry to burst your bubble, but we’re not having another diva riding off our coattails of fame.”

Mariah: “Let’s see you create your own path of becoming a Legend – earn it by getting your ass kicked and learning from it, not just by people handing it to you on silver platter. Apparently, most of the Divas and Vixens around here apparently think someone owes them something.”

Kirsten (adjusting her title on her shoulder): “I don’t mind proving myself. It’ll just show that this title belongs with me even more.”

The match starts with Sensational Mary and Angel Storm as legal members of each team. Mary and Angel lock up in a test of strength. Angel Storm shoves Mary to the mat with ease as the crowd cheers. Mary nips up and mat slams Angel Storm down to her feet as she formally bows for the crowd. Mary’s bow was used against her in a possum pin attempt from Angel Storm but that only manages to keep her down for a count of 2. Angel Storm taunts her holding up two fingers as she nearly beat Mary again just like 2 weeks ago. Mary narrows her eyes and tags in Mariah. Mariah taunts, “C’mon,” as Angel Storm doesn’t look interested. Angel turns her back to Mariah and heads towards her team’s corner but Mariah makes her taste the mat with bulldog and adds in a lionsault for good measure. Mariah yawns and tags in Kirsten. Kirsten enters the match looking rather confused. She pins Angel Storm but she powers out at a count of 1. Kirsten is surprised at Angel Storm’s power and crawls back towards her team’s corner to tag out, but Mariah and Mary have stepped down from the apron for Kirsten can fight this match without their assistance. Kirsten mutters a “Fine” as Angel whips her against the ropes. Angel powerslams Kirsten on rebound and goes for a pin. Rian Masters made a blind tag in the process and tagged herself in. She shoves Angel out of the way and adds in The Masterpiece (Shooting Star Splash) to the fallen Vixen Champion. Rian Masters gets a count of 2 until Angel Storm pulls Rian from on top of Kirsten. Rian Masters and Angel Storm argue amongst themselves about who is going to win this match. ODB tags herself in while they bicker and takes her own teammates out with a diving clothesline to both of them. Kirsten rolls ODB up into a school boy pin before ODB has a chance to focus on her. ODB kicks out at 2 ½. Kirsten stalks ODB for the Barbie Twist (Extreme Twist of Fate), but ODB reverses the finish to her signature DDT. ODB nips up and taunts the crowd as Mary and Mariah shake their heads in disgust. ODB climbs the turnbuckle with Kirsten in tow, to smash her face into the turnbuckle twelve times. Kirsten backs up groggily as ODB finishes off the Dirty Dozen with a Diving Sit-down Facebuster. Or so she thought as ODB drops due to what? None other than a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) from Mariah, who managed to get a blind tag in. With Kirsten still holding her head, Mariah covers ODB to take the victory by pinfall for Kirsten to retain. After the match, Mariah tosses the Vixen Championship to a confused Kirsten as she explains her actions as a mere “2 favors”.

Sister, Sister Part II - Mariah is reunited w/ Amberz

On the May 5, 2008 taping of Monday Mayhem, Mariah was backstage in attendance to watch Amberz face off against Lil' Kim. Afterwards, Amberz heads towards her locker room, pleased with herself for her win tonight. She passes by a familiar face, Mariah leaning against the lockers. Mariah tosses her a towel with a smirk on her face.

Mariah: “Nice work, kiddo. Maybe you have what it takes after all.” Amberz: “Wow, that means a lot coming from you. Marisol…you don’t have to worry about..” Mariah (cuts her off pissed now): “Don’t call me by that name here! Maybe I was wrong. Under the make-up and Barbie doll looks maybe you’re still just a kid after all. You’ve got a LONG way until you’re up in my league…little sister.” Mariah then walks off, leaving Amberz alone speechless, only to hear the sound of her high heels clicking down the hall. Amberz (to herself): “I only came here to prove to you and myself that I could be just good as you sister…maybe someday even better.”

On the May 9, 2008 taping of Livewire, Mariah teams up with Amberz against Nicole and Kirsten. With each Vixen trying to gain the respect of both their opponents and partners, Nicole starts off the match with Amberz, with Nicole in control early on. As the match continues, and with Amberz taking control, she whips Nicole into a corner, where Mariah holds her foot up on the top rope, Amberz grabs Nicole by the head, ramming it into her sister's boot repeatedly, before Amberz throws Nicole back into the corner, tagging in Mariah. Both Mariah and Amberz take it in turns throwing shots at Nicole, before they reluctantly decide to work together, the two delivering a double DDT to Nicole. The referee tries to get Amberz back out the ring, while Mariah begins to choke Nicole behind the referee's back. Kirsten runs into the ring, delivering an enzuigiri to the back of the head of her usual team mate, before she quickly heads back to her own corner. Both Mariah and Nicole are down, their sisters cheering them on, until Nicole finally gets the tag in to Kirsten. Mariah and Kirsten stand face to face as the arena turns silent. Mariah gives Kirsten props for the shot to her head and tags in Amberz since they both agree Livewire's audience doesn't deserve a preview of their match at Condemned. Amberz rushes in with confidence as this is her opportunity to prove herself to her older sister. That's the first novice mistake she makes against the veteran Vixen Kirsten. Kirsten greets her with an octopus stretch. Mariah applauds for Kirsten, not caring in the least for her sister. Amberz is close enough to the ropes to tag Mariah but Mariah steps down from the ring apron and joins Don West and Mike Tenay on commentary.

Mariah: "It's the only way how she's going to grow up and learn on her own. Don't tell me you guys are expecting me to just hand her a blueprint of how to get to where I am in this company. Umm…no, I think not. I got here from hard work, sweat, blood, and tears. No one gave me a free hand out." Tenay: "Okay…harsh words from the Vixen going up against Vixen Champion Kirsten at Condemned.

Amberz reaches for the ropes instead, since her own sister has abandoned her. Kirsten releases the hold but propels Amberz into her corner. Kirsten performs a handspring to a body splash in the corner and tags in Nicole, who quickly finishes off Amberz with a Fallen Angel (Tombstone Piledriver Pin) to take the win. Kirsten and Nicole's mother would be proud to see them win tonight.

After the match, Mariah sits down in the ring with Amberz while she picks herself off of the mat. Mariah: "If you really want to make a name for yourself around here, start fighting for something you believe in. Heck, it worked for that ever popular loser at 'Mania." Amberz (springs up to Mariah with a hug): "Oh thank you sister! I will take your advice to the highest!" Mariah (looking annoyed): "Just don't touch me…"

Mariah wasn't booked for action on the May 16, 2008 taping of Livewire but runs into Amberz backstage after her match on the card.

Amberz: “Marisol, did you see my match?” Mariah (smirks): “You’re a bit rough around the edges but you get the ‘you did good kid’ from me. Amber, we never got to finish our talk the other day…how’s Papi doing?”

Amberz’ eyes well up with tears as she turns around and runs down the opposite end of the hall. Mariah (perking a brow): “Did I say the wrong thing? (shrugs) I really need to find out where Kirsten has disappeared to with this top secret training she’s been taking up.”

On Monday Mayhem taping (May 19, 2008), Mariah calls out Kirsten concerning their match at Condemned. Mariah stands in the center of the ring as Mayhem returns from commercial break, wearing a golden bikini and faded blue jeans as she’s not booked to wrestle tonight.

Mariah: “Kirsten, you don’t have to be scared of me. We’re still friends. Just because I’m coming for your title you don’t have to avoid me all month.” Sensational Mary joins Mariah in the ring and Lillian Garcia hands her a microphone. Mary: “Mariah, I’m sad to say that you’re mistaken. Unlike the other Divas and Vixens in ZXWWF, she’s not hiding – she’s rising to the occasion. She’s been training for the past 2 weeks.” Mariah looks rather impressed, but that look quickly turns to one of annoyance as Amberz runs down to the ring. Amberz: “Mari, I gotta tell you – I saw Kirsten today at the gym training, and it’s no ordinary training.” Mariah (rolls her eyes): “So what? I train everyday too. She’s facing the best so I expect her to step up with her training.” Amberz: “But….” Mariah (cutting her off): “Go backstage and wait back in my locker room. Let the grown ups finish talking. Really, sis, I appreciate the into but I don’t need you helping me. (She directs her out of the ring and back up the entrance ramp) Go back to worrying about how bad Evil By Desire will beat you and the rest of the Sweethearts into sawdust with Condemned comes around.” Amberz (sighs): “Okay…see ya later.” Amberz leaves as Mariah is about to speak again but she’s interrupted by ‘Riot’ by Sugarcult (Kirsten’s theme). Kirsten returns tonight on Mayhem and joins Mariah and Mary in the ring. Kirsten: “Hey gals. Sorry for being MIA…I’ve been outta touch and outta sight, but you know I don’t want to let you down at the PPV. I want to give you my best then some.” Mariah (perks a brow): “So why so hush-hush on the training?” Kirsten: “I didn’t know if you would approve of me having help with my training.” Mariah (instantly asks): “What kinda help?” A newly signed ZXWWF Vixen’s music hits as Kirsten looks towards the entrance ramp. The crowd in attendance goes wild as ZXWWF’s new Vixen is none other than Gail Kim! Mariah and Mary look shocked as Kirsten tries to look innocent. Gail Kim (after Kirsten hands her a microphone): “I heard that the ladies of ZXWWF were planning on crossing the line that separates them from the just average pretty faces of wrestling. So I was glad to help my biggest fan train for the biggest match of career. You two have a lot of huge expectations going into this match as you two said it was going to be the blueprint of how a Vixen’s match SHOULD be. I really hope you don’t disappoint your fans, Mariah.” Mariah (getting in Gail Kim’s face): “I don’t mind Kirsten calling you for help with training. But YOU keep this in mind – just as long as you AND the rest of the Divas and Vixens locker room stay out of our match and our business. If you want your ass-kicked, get in line hunny. You may be the baddest bitch in that ‘other’ company but you’re in a totally different playground. Mary, Kirsten and myself are the past, present and future of women’s wrestling for this company. So don’t worry about me or any of us letting the fans down. Every match we’re a part of is a blueprint to greatness.” Kirsten (gets between Gail and Mariah): “Whoa, that won’t be necessary, Mariah. Gail is new here and she doesn’t know how things work yet. That’s why I got Anesthesia to book us in a match on Livewire against the Women’s Tag Team Champions, Hard Candy, this Friday. That way we get some nice competition to keep on our toes for the PPV and Gail gets to see how awesome we are up close and personal.” Mariah merely nods as the Eves of Evolution leave the ring with Gail Kim walking behind them, never taking her eyes off of Mariah.

During the commercial break, Mariah returns to her locker room to talk with Amberz. Mariah (looking very annoyed): “Why did you get so upset last week? Also, note for the future, don’t mess in my affairs as you don’t see me messing with yours.” Amberz (tears running down her eyes as her mascara is ruined): “It’s about Papi…he died a few months ago. That’s why I came all the way here, to find you. You’re all I have left, Marisol.” Mariah (sighs as she kneels down to comfort her sister): “I’m sorry, Amber. Why didn’t you tell me before? You’ve been just allowing me to treat you like crap ever since you came here – while I should have been being a better sister to you. Could ever find it in you to forgive me for how I’ve treated you?” Amberz (hugging her): “I don’t care as long as I’m with is all that matters.”

On Livewire taping (May 23, 2008), the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions Hard Candy (Candy Cane & Lali Pop) face Vixen Champion Kirsten and #1 Contender to the Vixen Championship, Mariah. Mariah and Lali Pop start the match off. Mariah ducks underneath the incoming fist of Lali Pop, rebounds from the ropes with a headscissor takedown. Lali Pop counters with a sidewalk slam to ground the Wildfyre Vixen as Amberz comes to watch the match alongside Gail Kim at ringside. Lali shakes her booty for the crowd prior to hitting a standing moonsault splash to Mariah. Lali hooks her leg for an early pin attempt but Kirsten runs in to break the pin. Mariah nips up to her feet and hits Lali Pop with a spinning heel kick that knocks her back against the ropes and propels her back towards Mariah. Mariah DDTs Lali to the mat and tags in Kirsten, who nails a springboard leg drop from the apron upon arrival. Mariah steps down from the apron to argue with Amberz for butting into her business as she didn’t ask her to come to ringside. Meanwhile in the ring, Lali Pop is leaning on the ropes above where Mariah and Amberz are arguing, Kirsten rushes in to strike, where Amberz pulls down the apron, thinking she’s helping the Eves out. Instead, Lali ducks out of the way to dive and tag in Candy Cane while Kirsten tumbles out of the ring and into Mariah. Amberz attempts to help Mariah off the floor but she shoves her away and delivers a shoulder thrust to Candy Cane reaching over the apron. Kirsten steps over Mariah’s back with rolling powerbomb onto Candy Cane as she returns into the ring. Lali Pop attempts a save but she experiences the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) thanks to Mariah for the Eves to barely win this match after Amberz’ blunder.

On the last Livewire taping (May 31, 2008), Kirsten calls out Mariah to the ring. Kirsten stands in the middle of ring, accompanied by her mentor Gail Kim.

Kirsten: “Mariah, come out here. Gail, you can leave. What I have to discuss with Mariah is between just the two of us.” “Hot In Here” by Nelly is heard as Mariah makes her way down the entrance ramp. She passes Gail Kim but doesn’t give her eye contact in the least. Mariah enters the ring and takes a microphone from one of the camera crew.

Mariah: “What’s so important that you had to wait all week to ask me on live television when you had no problem hanging out together over the weekend.”

Kirsten: “Mariah, you know I’m not the kind of person to start drama where it’s not necessary and I’m sure as hell not going to do it when we were hanging out with some of the other Vixens and Divas over the weekend. Our business is OUR business. That’s why I told Gail to wait in the back. But since you’re dying to know…I can’t help but feel like your little sister’s interference last week was intentional just to knock me out of the picture before Condemned.”

Mariah: “I can’t believe you, Kirsten. After I personally suggested to ZX to allow you join up with me and Mary to replace Marlena and all the times I’ve saved your ass in this ring and out of it, you have the nerve to think I would pull something underhanded like that.”

Kirsten: “I dunno…I can’t help but think that way since the Eves and the X-Terminators have a track record of dirty tricks. You prolly told the little bitch to do it to get brownie points with her big sister.”

Mariah (slapping Kirsten to her knees, she kneels to Kirsten’s level): “My little sister may be annoying and a major pain in the ass but NO ONE calls her a bitch! For the record, Kirsten, if I wanted your precious little belt, you should know that me or Mary could have gotten it ANYTIME we pleased – without any dirty little tricks. You’re not all that and a bag of chips like how you carry yourself around here. Sure, you’re a step above all of this other Vixens, but you’re nothing compared to Mary and I. It’s fine time that one of us proved that to you.” Kirsten (holding her face as she slams her mic across the side of Mariah’s jaw, leaving her on the mat): “I beg to differ. Ever since the day I came into this company, I figured I would have to be the one to put this bitch out of its misery just like Ol’ Yeller. At Condemned, don’t be surprised that I show an old bitch some new tricks.” Kirsten drops her microphone on the mat and leaves the ring with Mariah lying out in the center of the ring.

On the premiere Friday Night Xplosion taping (June 6, 2008), the team of Kirsten and Gail Kim faced the team of Mariah and Amberz. Kirsten and Amberz start the match off, Kirsten quickly proving to be too much for the amateur Vixen. She manages to get back to her corner to tag Mariah but she steps down from the apron to force Amberz to continue. Kirsten closes in with a clothesline but Amberz counters with a drop toe hold and applies a modified surfboard on the Vixen Champion. Mariah tags herself in and drops a springboard senton on Kirsten still in the surfboard. Mariah quickly covers Kirsten only to have the pin broken by Gail Kim. Mariah Irish whips Kirsten into her own team’s corner, only to choke Kirsten with her foot in front of Gail Kim. Like Mariah before her, Gail Kim tags herself in and delivers several blows to the face of Mariah before taking her by the arm and driving to the mat with her signature arm drag. Gail Kim stalks Mariah to stand but Amberz rushes in the way to take the incoming Spear. Mariah looks shocked by her sister’s actions and helps her out of the ring. Mariah turns her focus back on the match only to walk straight into Gail Kim’s crucifix headscissor, which she modifies and applies her Christo submission maneuver instead. Just as Mariah attempts to reach the ropes, Kirsten leaps from the turnbuckle with a missile dropkick to Mariah’s back, further increasing the pain from Gail’s submission hold. Mariah screams in pain and has no choice to submit. Kirsten takes her Vixen Championship and holds it up laughing as she leaves Mariah and Amberz down and out. Are we seeing a glimpse of what’s to come at Condemned?

At Condemned 2008 (June 15, 2008), Mariah faced champion Kirsten Franklin for the Vixen Championship with Sensational Mary acting as the special referee in this match between the members of the Eves of Evolution.

ZXWWF Condemned 2008, Kirsten vs. Mariah, Special Referee: Sensational Mary

Backstage, Mariah is just finished slipping on her boots when she spins around to see Amberz behind her. Mariah looks away to avoid having eye contact with her sister.

Mariah: “Thanks for taking that hit for me on Friday. But don’t think that you’re going to make a living around here saving me everyday. I plan to live forever ya know?”

The two sisters share a short-lived laugh until Amberz holds her abdomen that was still aching from Gail Kim’s Spear on Friday’s edition of Xplosion.

Amberz: “Marisol, that’s what sisters…no family do…they are there when they need it the most. I’ll be damned if I would just sit back and allow anything horrible happen to you after I’ve searched for you all this time.”

Mariah (resting her hands on her shoulders): “Amber, you’re not Supergirl. You can’t keep going out there and taking hits for me. These girls will tear you apart if you try to a make a living of being my stunt double. I don’t want to see anything bad happen to you either…just stay out of way in my match tonight, okay? It’s between me and Kirsten. I don’t want to involve anyone else.”

Amberz (hesitates before nodding): “Okay, but I’m going to be watching the monitor during the entire thing. If anyone else gets any bright ideas I’ll be the first one there to have your back.”

Mariah (smiles as she begins to walk down the hallway): “Thanks, sis, but I’m sure ol’ Scary Mary will scare off 95% of the Divas off anyway. Regardless, that’s good to know you’ll be there for me.”

Sensational Mary is reluctant to judge this match as she wants nothing to do with what she refers to as “the petty” rivalry between the Vixen Champion Kirsten and “Wildfyre Vixen” Mariah – both of whom came to the ring alone. Regardless of her own personal feelings, Mary pats down her fellow Eves of Evolution for any foreign objects. After seeing that they didn’t have anything illegal, Mary gives the ok to ring the bell.

Kirsten and Mariah start off by circling each other in the ring. Kirsten strikes first with a right hook but Mariah grabs her wrist and wrenches her arm to her back. Kirsten sports her flexibility by spinning around and pulling Mariah into a front headlock. Kirsten releases her after a knee to the face and closes in with a spinning roundhouse kick as Mariah holds her face. That was part of Mariah’s ploy to fool Kirsten as she’s sweep off her feet as she pivots on one foot for the kick. Mariah capitalizes with cartwheel elbow drop but Kirsten manages to roll out of the way and closes in the gap with a running dropkick. Mariah slides out of the ring in time to avoid the blow. Kirsten and Mariah give each other a small applause and quickly return to the ring as Mary figured they were just warming up.

Mariah returns to the ring after Mary made the ring out count of 4. Kirsten meets Mariah at the apron but she’s shoved back with a shoulder thrust by Mariah. Mariah jumps into the ring with a rolling powerbomb to the Vixen Champion who executes an innovative counter with a dropkick to Mariah’s face upon impact. Both Vixens lay on the mat for a moment as Mary starts the double KO count. Both Vixens stand after a count of 3.

Mariah repeatedly chops Kirsten across the chest before Irish whipping her into the ropes, waiting to capitalize with a spinebuster. Kirsten returns to Mariah with a crucifix headscissors into a Christo submission hold. Mary quickly looks over to Mariah to see if she is going to submission as Kirsten wrenches the hold tighter; the pain bringing Mariah to her knees. Mary holds Mariah’s arm up and it immediately drops back down. Mary does this again and Mariah’s arm drops back down. Mary raises Mariah’s arm a final time – she shakes her head as she holds her arm up of her own free will and determination. Mariah struggles to her feet with Kirsten still latched to her in the Christo maneuver and drops Kirsten to the mat with a sidewalk slam.

Mariah collapses onto the nearby ropes to recuperate but Kirsten doesn’t allow that as she doesn’t stay down for long. Kirsten charges in to continue her assault on her hurting challenge as Mariah sees her closing in at the last second. Kirsten stops in her tracks immediately after having a face to foot collision with what Mariah refers to as the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Mariah catches her breath and turns the tables on Kirsten by applying the Texas Cloverleaf to the Vixen Champion. Kirsten is close enough to the ropes to reach out for them but Mariah pulls her back a few feet. Mary gets down on the mat as Kirsten raises a hand to submit…Like Mariah mere minutes earlier, Kirsten shakes her head and begins clawing tooth and nail to get towards the ropes. Mariah struggles to keep Kirsten away from the ropes but Kirsten manages to reach the bottom rope to make Mary force Mariah to break the hold.

Mariah doesn’t allow Kirsten to recuperate as she pulls her up to feet by the hair and shoves her into the corner, choking her with her foot. Mariah licks a finger and points her to her ass, making a sizzling sound and shouting, “Whoa, HOT!!” Mary grins to herself as Mariah continues taunting the crowd after releasing the foot choke – “Mary, I KNOW I got ‘til 5!” Mariah backs up and handsprings into the corner with a clothesline but she’s met with an elbow to the throat by Kirsten. Kirsten turns the tables on Mariah yet again as she positions herself on the top turnbuckle for a tornado DDT. The momentum isn’t back into Kirsten’s favor yet as Mariah sends Kirsten to the match with a top rope variation of a double wrist suplex pin. Mary slides into position to count as Kirsten barely kicks out of this high impact move.

Sighing to herself, Mariah combs her hair out from her face as she takes to the corner, stalking Kirsten for another Heartbreaker on wakeup. Kirsten catches Mariah’s foot and spins her around to counter with an Emerald Fusion to the mat. The Vixen Champion figures that’s not enough to keep Mariah down with and takes to the top rope with a Royal Flush. Kirsten connects and covers the Wildfyre Vixen. Another near-fall by the challenger as both Mariah and Kirsten are getting frustrated as they seem to be evenly matched.

Mariah gets to her feet by use of the ropes as Kirsten applauds her. Mariah laughs at her gesture and encourages the crowd to applaud as well. Sensational Mary applauds as well as she moves out of the way of Kirsten slamming Mariah to the mat while she put her back to her to taunt the audience. Kirsten drops a standing leg drop onto Mariah’s face with her leg draped over her body in an unorthodox pin. Mary makes the count of 2.2 before Mariah kicks out. Kirsten toe kicks Mariah and taunts for the Barbie Twist (Extreme Twist of Fate) before Mariah strikes her in the abdomen to free herself. The fans witness another reversal here as Mariah counters with the Vision of Love (Super Neckbreaker Pin). A good offense from the challenger but that’s still not enough to keep Kirsten down for the 3 count.

Frustrated, Mariah pulls Kirsten from the floor with a double arm chicken wing, only to send her back down with a Tiger Suplex Pin. Gail Kim rushes down to the ring to distract Mary from making the count. Mariah sends Gail Kim crashing down to the floor with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music - #3 if you’ve been keeping track). Mariah sets her sights back on Kirsten only to be greeted with a toe kick and being planted into a position between Kirsten’s legs as she taunts the crowd with a cut throat motion. The crowd in attendance stands up as Kirsten hits Mariah with a Diva Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer), a new maneuver she’s been perfecting just for this match. The chants of “Holy shit!” are echoed throughout the arena and in the locker room as Divas and Vixens alike are glued to their seats backstage, tuning to this match on the monitor. Kirsten covers Mariah with Mary’s hand coming down for the 3 count as Mariah just BARELY gets a shoulder up to kick out.

Kirsten repeatedly slams her hands on the mat, thinking she had the match won after unleashing the new move in her arsenal. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices Amberz getting up on the ring apron. Kirsten easily dropsaults her down to the floor ringside. What Kirsten didn’t expect was the incoming Heartbreaker (#4 if you’re STILL keeping count) from Mariah just as her feet upon landing. Kirsten reeled back into the ropes, losing her balance a bit from the blow. Kirsten rebounds from the ropes, towards Mariah, who catches her and hits the Last Kiss (Northern Lights Driver) out of desperation – notably a new move of her own she has been saving for this match. Mariah collapses on top of Kirsten for the cover with her leg hooked. The Vixen Champion refuses to stay down for a 3 count.

Francine: “I think someone should just hand them two guns. Apparently this isn’t going to be settled with wrestling maneuvers.”

Mariah stands up pissed, stomping Kirsten several times before taking to the corner to stalk Kirsten for what she hopes is the final Heartbreaker of the match. In typical HBK fashion, Mariah stomps five times as Kirsten slowly gets to her feet. Mariah closes in the gap between them with the Heartbreaker. Kirsten ducks underneath with a straight body blow to the gut, enough to knock the wind out of the Wildfyre Vixen. Kirsten taunts for the Barbie Twist but once again, Mariah elbows Kirsten in the gut. Mariah toe kicks Kirsten and rebounds off the ropes for the 2 Hot for TV (Scissor Kick). Kirsten evades the blow and drives Mariah to the mat with an Edge-matic, with her leg hooked upon impact.

Mary, caught up in the drama of this match, almost forgets she’s the referee. Mary makes the 3 count (with Mariah kicking out afterwards but it’s too late) to name Kirsten the winner of this match.

Mariah leaves the ring to bring in the Vixen Championship from ringside. Mariah returns to the ring with it in hand, staring at it blankly. Kirsten brushes some of her hair out from her eyes as she watches Mariah stare at the title. Mariah hands over the championship to Kirsten, raising her arm up in the air. Mary comes between them and raises the arms of both the champion and the challenger as everyone in attendance can agree that there are no losers in this ring tonight.

Sister, Sister Part III -- Becoming Vixen Champion: Waging War w/ Kirsten, Raven, and Cheerleader Melissa

At Patriotic Punishment 2008 (July 20, 2008), Mariah faced Kirsten in a rematch for the Vixen Championship. This time, no special referee. Before the match, cameras join Mariah in her dressing room, mere minutes before her match tonight. Mariah is sitting on the floor stretching her body to get warmed up before heading out to the ring. There is a knock at the door.

Patriotic Punishment 2008 - Kirsten vs. Mariah rematch

Mariah: “Come in, it’s open.”

ZX sticks his head through the opening of the door, resting his eyes on her sitting on the floor. He quietly enters the room, taking a nearby chair. He turns it backwards and has a seat, facing her while she continued her warm-up undisturbed.

ZX: “I know we usually don’t butt into each other’s business but I wanted to bring you something to the ‘fire’ burning before you go out there. Consider this a gift for me only worry about my little X-Terminator business or an extra birthday present. (looks towards the door) You can come in now.”

Amberz walks into the room and gives ZX a hug. Mariah stands up from the floor to greet her young sibling with a hug of her own.

Mariah: “I thought you were still out from those broken ribs that you got at the last PPV?”

Amberz (nodding her head in agreement): “Yeah, I’m just visiting since Z thought it would be a great idea to wish you luck tonight. He even bought Mom a front row ticket to the show, just for she could see your match tonight. We’ll be cheering for you, ‘sis.”

Mariah (walks over to ZX and kisses him on the cheek): “If the guys in the locker room knew how sweet and nice you were outside of that ring, they’ll be ‘exterminating’ you. Good luck to you too tonight, not like you need it.”

ZX (look smug after returning her kiss): “Whatever, there’s not a soul in this company I’m afraid of, so I have nothing to fear in the least. (looks at his watch) I better get going. I still have some more business to take care of.See ya after the show, babe.”

ZX leaves the room, passing by Amberz grinning to herself about how cute of a couple ZX and Mariah make together. Amberz follows shortly afterwards, holding her ribs in pain after laughing a bit too hard.

Minutes later, Kirsten and Mariah stand face by face in the middle of the ring. The bell rings to start the match. This time there’s no games starting off – strictly business. Mariah wrenches Kirsten’s arm around to her back but Kirsten maneuvers herself out of the hold and locks Mariah into a shoulderlock. Kirsten taunts for an early Barbie Twist (Extreme Twist of Fate). Mariah frees herself with several blows to her stomach, causing Kirsten to hunch over in pain. Mariah capitalizes with a Kiss the Carpet (Fame-Asser) and follows up with a handspring splash after rebounding from the ropes.

Kirsten doesn’t stay down for long, kicking out of the pin attempt at 1.9. Mariah soccer ball kicks Kirsten in the chest to stay down. Mariah takes flight from the nearby turnbuckle with a split-legged moonsault, but the Vixen Champion slides out of the open cage door for a breather.

Mariah takes another risk as Kirsten stands on the outside with a suicide dive out the door. Once again, Kirsten moves out of the way, allowing the Showstoppin’ Senorita to crash and burn into the barricade. Kirsten returns inside the ring as the referee begins a ring out count while Mariah lay on the floor. Amberz and her mother urge Mariah to continue as she fights teeth and nail to make it back to the ring. Mariah’s determination is through the roof as she makes in back into the ring in time, holding her head.

Kirsten mocks Mariah’s family members standing at ringside, stomping on Mariah’s body as she lay on the mat. Kirsten pulls Mariah to her feet by her purple hair, adding to her possible head trauma with an emerald fusion. Kirsten follows up with 450 Splash from the top rope for good measure.

Kirsten only manages a near-fall on the challenger as the referee repeatedly asks Mariah if she wants to continue. She nods, shaky getting on her feet, but Kirsten sends her back to the mat, face-first after she dropkicks her feet from underneath her. Kirsten adds in a shining wizard for good measure as she hopes to cause her opponent to suffer from a concussion for she won’t be able to continue the match. Kirsten rolls up Mariah’s spine and applies a camel clutch. Once again, the challenger fights tooth and nail against the pain and manages to force Kirsten to break the hold by rope break.

Kirsten smashes her face into the turnbuckle, allowing Mariah to stumble back and onto her back in the middle of the ring as Kirsten climbs to the top of the steel cage. Risking it all, Kirsten dives down with Royal Flush (Swanton Bomb) from the top of the cage. The Vixen Champion misses entirely as the crowd is on its feet as Mariah pulls herself up in the corner and begins stomping in preparation for the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music).

Mariah collapses on top of Kirsten, hooking her leg back in a pin. Kirsten barely manages to summon the strength to kick out at 2.9. Mariah is almost heartbroken – being so close to her dream. The crowd, especially her family members in attendance, doesn’t allow her to lose faith and begin chanting, “Kick her ass!”

Mariah stalks Kirsten once more for the Heartbreaker, but the Vixen Champion ducks underneath the kick, landing a toe kick, then positions Mariah in-between her legs and taunts for the Diva Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer). Kirsten executes it perfectly; Mariah flips backward groggily upon impact-rebounding off the ropes and lands the Heartbreaker once more. Mariah falls on top of Kirsten, taking the win, becoming NEW Vixen Champion.

After the match, Marcus Brett storms the ring, attacking Mariah from behind. He helps Kirsten to her feet as she orders him to finish off Mariah. Brett finishes her off with an Overkill (Vertebreaker) – that being an understatement as Mariah is left broken in the middle of the ring as the medical crew rush to the scene while Kirsten leaves with the Vixen Championship on her shoulder. Looks like Kirsten gets what she wants, and Marcus makes sure that happens without a doubt.

On the post-PPV edition of Xplosion (August 1, 2008), ZX and Mariah faced Marcus Brett and Kirsten in a tornado tag team match. Marcus and Kirsten don’t get halfway down the entrance ramp before ZX and Mariah storm out of the ring and met them – already on the offensive. ZX hurls Marcus into the steel steps while Kirsten manages to give herself some breathing room by hammering the Vixen Championship across Mariah’s face. Kirsten rolls Mariah into the ring for an easy win but the Showstoppin’ Senorita kicks out at 2.9.

Once again, Kirsten makes it a habit to center her attacks around the head and neck of new Vixen Champion, driving her to the mat with a tornado DDT. Marcus manages to slide into the ring with a knee smash to Mariah’s face after dropping ZX onto the barricade ringside. He holds Mariah up for Kirsten to take a shot. The crowd heavily boos the couple as Kirsten mocks Mariah’s Heartbreaker setup by stomping on the mat repeatedly and closes in for the kill with a super kick. Mariah shakes free at the last second but Kirsten manages to stop in time before hitting Marcus. That doesn’t stop ZX from taking both of them out with a springboard flying clothesline. ZX stalks Marcus and hits the X Effect (Fire Thunder/Rikishi Driver) while Mariah delivers a Heartbreaker to Kirsten. Kirsten manages to reverse the pin into one of her own, stealing the win underneath their noses.

Kirsten and Marcus leave the ring laughing with the Vixen Championship still in their possession.

The next week on Xplosion (August 8, 2008), ZX, the then reigning Women's Kristal Heart, and Vixen Champion Mariah face Kirsten, Marcus Brett, and Trinity – The match opens up as a brawl between all 6 members in the match – the Women’s and Vixen Champions taking the battle ringside while ZX and Marcus Brett start off in the ring. ZX clotheslines Marcus over the top rope, taunting the crowd with his arms crossed in an “X” formation. Marcus slides back into the ring with a chair in hand. The referee tries to stop him but he takes out ZX with the steel chair, bloodying the leader of the X-Terminators.

By now, the referee has declared ZX the winner by DQ, but Marcus, Kirsten, and Trinity don’t care in the least. After smashing Mariah’s forehead onto the announcer’s table, Kirsten holds down Kristal Heart while Trinity executes a standing shooting star press on Kristal on top of the announcer’s table.

Kirsten drags Mariah into the ring by the hair, as Trinity and herself hold her in place for the incoming chair shot from Marcus. Mariah shakes free and evades the blow, while Marcus hits the ropes instead. The chair smacks him in the face, causing him to stagger backwards and into a release German Suplex from the Fighting Dreamer. Mariah grabs the steel chair and swings wildly at Kirsten and Trinity as they retreat out of the ring.

With blood running down his forehead, ZX asks for the microphone while Marcus, Kirsten, and Trinity retreat up the ramp.

ZX: “Hold on for a second, you three. Since Marcus loves to shatter skulls and Kirsten loves crushing people’s dreams, I have the perfect match for us to settle this couple’s game – a tables match. But it won’t be your ordinary tables match in ZXWWF. For the first time ever, we’re going to have ourselves a GLASS table match!!”

Mariah (snatching the microphone): “So Kirsten, don’t get comfortable with my title, as in two weeks you’re going to have a lot more to worry about than getting a Heartbreaker. I can promise you that you’ll have something broken other than your heart!”

On the August 18, 2008 edition of Xplosion, Amanda and Raven are chatting about their time out at the local bar. Mariah joins in the conversation after finishing her stretches for her upcoming match for tonight.

Mariah: “Great to see you’re out of the asylum, Amanda. Everything alright with you two?”

Raven: “C-Money and I aren’t an item anymore, but that’s not going to bring me down.”

Amanda (holding teddy bear): “Gabe and I…should be officially divorced after this weekend.”

Mariah (perks an brow): “Rae, you’ll get another guy – a great one. I hope you told C-Money C-Ya for good. And as for Gabe, don’t let that loser get you down, Amanda. Rumor around the locker room is that he’s just a big creep like Magnum was. Just as horny too.”

Amanda smiles and nods while hugging her teddy bear.

Raven: “Yeah, I know. Mariah, I gotta know – are you and Z serious about that Glass table match for the PPV? I mean I know Kirsten is a bitch and all but wow, someone isn’t going to be same after a match like that.”

Mariah: “Kirsten wants to walk around on a high horse so I’m going to push her off it and send everything she holds precious shattering. She thinks this is just some little game. (Turns to Amanda) Thanks for sticking up for me earlier this week, as I heard she was talking shit – as usual.”

Amanda doesn’t reply but merely walks off singing to herself, “One, two, Mandy's coming for you, three four, better lock your door, five six, grab your crucifix, seven eight gonna stay up late, nine ten, never sleep again...”

Mariah: “Is she ALWAYS like that now?”

Raven: “Unfortunately so, but she’s our friend and we’ll take care of her.”

Mariah (nodding): “I gotta go catch Amberz before my match tonight.”

Raven: “Amber, she’s here? I thought she was still out on injury.”

Mariah: “I can’t take care of my lil’ sister while I’m on the road all time. So it’s easier to just have her tag along, ya know?”

Raven: “Ah, I understand. See ya later.” Later that evening, ZX and Mariah team up with the Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, and Melina) to face the Phenomenal Angels (AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Shantelle Taylor), Marcus Brett, Kirsten – During the previous segment, the ‘Guns and Angels are already in the ring, waiting for the arrival of the last 4 members of the match. ZX and Mariah stand at the top of the entrance ramp until they are assaulted from behind by Marcus and Kirsten with steel chairs. Kirsten sets up two tables off the side of the stage while Marcus hands her a black bag. Kirsten smirks devilishly as she pours the contents onto the tables, crushed glass.

Meanwhile in the ring, the referee had no choice but to start the match as 3 on 3 match with the other members being too occupied at the top of the stage. At this very moment, the ‘Guns have the advantage – tying up the Fallen Angel in a tree of woe position with Alex Shelley delivering a baseball slide to the face of Daniels while Sabin adds in a hesitation dropkick to the gut for the finish. The ‘Guns take a moment to do their signature taunt while Melina screams cheering them on - before going for the pin.

Styles and Shantelle Taylor rushes in to break the pin attempt. Shantelle clotheslines Melina over the top rope, where the two catfight at ringside. Melina manages to knock her off after smashing her removed boot across her skull. Melina turns her focus back to the ring to see Styles delivering the Pele Kick to Alex Shelley then another to Sabin closing in.

JR: “Bah gawd, it was out from NOWHERE!”

Sabin is hit with a Death Valley Driver from Daniels afterwards followed by the Styles Clash to Shelley for the Phenomenal Angels to take the win tonight. Melina looks on in disbelief until the back of her head makes contact with the ringside barricade after Shantelle takes payback in the form of a German Suplex.

Back up on the top of the stage, a bloodied ZX and Mariah fight a losing battle to resist being put through the tables off the edge of the stage as they fall to Kirsten and Marcus’ feet from a Con-Chair-to. Amberz comes from the back to save her sister. Kirsten takes her out with the stolen Vixen Championship and a wicked smile covers her lips as she points to Amberz on the ground. Marcus and Kirsten share a laugh before Kirsten assists Marcus in powerbombing Amberz off the stage and through the tables covered with shards of glass.

Marcus and Kirsten take a formal bow as they leave a frantic Mariah begging for medical attention for her sister, covered from head to toe in her own blood.

At Summertime Suffering 2008 (August 24, 2008), the team of ZX and Mariah faced Marcus Brett and Kirsten in ZXWWF's first ever Glass Table Match. Backstage, Michael Cole tries to get a few words from ZX and Mariah as they head to the ring for what could be the most dangerous match in their careers.

ZX: “What’s there to worry about? We’re going out there to send the leading cast members from High School Musical 3 through a glass table. It’s as simple as that, Cole.”

Mariah: “Just sit back and relax, Michael. Enjoy the show as this will prolly be the last time you see them moving with the use of a wheelchair or clutches in a ZXWWF ring.”

Kirsten and Marcus Brett stand in the ring, with a smile decorating their faces as ZX and Mariah are the last to make their way to the ring. Anesthesia and Carla made a few last minute changes to the match as the competitors could see that glass window panes, glass sheets, glass and wooden tables are all available for use as weapons in this barbaric match type.

Kirsten and Marcus don’t even wait for the bell as they dive out of the ring with a suicide dives into their opposition, brawling on the ringside floor. ZX and Mariah both break a glass pane over Kirsten and Marcus’ heads as they drag them into the ring.

Mariah knees Kirsten in the face before positioning her for a piledriver, but Kirsten lifts Mariah overhead and into an Emerald Fusion to the mat.

ZX hits Marcus with a Backbreaker. Kirsten attempts to make a save but he toe kicks her, cradling her head and drops backwards with a Complete Shot to Marcus and DDT to Kirsten completing what he refers to as the Lethal Injection.

Mariah staggers out of the ring, pumping up the crowd as she begins sliding in the glass sheets and tables into the ring. Kirsten doesn’t take that sitting down as she leaps over the ropes with a slingshot plancha. She then takes a stack of the glass panes and uses them as a double axe hand le across the back of ZX, bringing him to his knees. Marcus then pulls ZX into position for a powerbomb as Kirsten sets up a wooden table and slides a glass sheet on top of it. Kirsten climbs the top rope and signals the okay to Marcus to execute the powerbomb.

Mariah shoves the sheet off the table in time but ZX still crashes through the table with Kirsten driving him further into the debris with a guillotine leg drop. While Kirsten and ZX lay among the remains of the broken table, Mariah rebounds from the ropes with a flying forearm smash to Marcus, then a dropkick to the knees as he gets back up. Mariah sends him into the table remains with a Kiss the Carpet (Fame-Asser) and turns her focus back to Kirsten.

ZX shakes his head and stands in her way as Mariah begins tuning up the band in preparation for a Heartbreaker on Kirsten. ZX runs out of the ring and quickly returns with a stack of glass panes, holding them up to Kirsten’s face. Mariah connects with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) busting Kirsten open above her left eye. Kirsten rolls around on the ground in pain and underneath the ropes to the ringside area as the referee and stand by medical checks to see if it’s too serious to continue.

The crowd is full of “Holy shit!” chants as ZX and Mariah doesn’t let up on their offensive for a second, bringing in another sheet of glass into the ring. Marcus greets them with a Mafia Kick through the glass they are both holding. ZX’s hands are cut open but he manages to use the tape from his wrists to band age himself. Mariah manages only to have only a few minor cuts.

Kirsten returns back into the mix without the medical team’s approval but she’s greeted by another Heartbreaker from the Vixen Champion. Kirsten ducks underneath the kick and counters with a Barbie Twist (Extreme Twist of Fate) while Marcus hits ZX with an Overkill (Overdrive) while he still cringes from the pain from his hands.

Kirsten pulls Mariah to her feet by her violet colored hair but Marcus has a better idea much like ZX did earlier…She shoves Mariah back to the mat face first with her heel on the back of Mariah’s head (Curb Stomp) and assists Marcus in bring in the glass table into the ring and stacking it with several sheets of glass.

Marcus lifts Mariah onto his shoulders while Kirsten takes to the top rope in preparation for a diving bulldog through the table. ZX shoves Marcus out of the way, sending Marcus and Mariah over the ropes while Kirsten drives ZX through the glass sheets and the glass table to win the match.

The medical team rushes into the ring as Kirsten helps Marcus up from the floor to discover that ZX has suffered a TBI (Tracheobronchial injury) from a few shards of glass driven into his neck. The EMTs load ZX onto the stretcher and immediately rush him out of the ring and out of the building.

Several of the Vixens and Divas have come ringside to help Mariah to her feet as she just regained consciousness. They inform her what has happened to ZX and the sound of Kirsten laughing at her handiwork drives Mariah over the edge as the Vixens and Divas restrain her.

But that doesn’t stop Amanda from attacking Kirsten, dragging her into the ring and preparing to use the shards of glass in the ring to stab her in the throat. A cloud of smoke appears around them as Black Shadow (who was trying to counsel Amanda for the past few weeks prior) appears to stop Amanda from hurting Kirsten. Amanda doesn't know who is touching her and wildly swings behind her, slashing the mask off the face of Black Shadow...revealing her to be Raven??

Amanda stands up and backs away in confusion as Raven holds her face. Mariah joins them in the ring to give Amanda her teddy bear to calm down as the entire ZXWWF audience and roster has no clue what is the meaning for what has just transpired here.

Marcus carries Kirsten out of the ring in his arms, while Mariah and Raven assure Amanda that they will explain everything...The PPV closes as Mariah is accompanied by several of her friends in the locker room to the nearby hospital to check the condition of ZX.

On the post-PPV edition of Xplosion (September 5, 2008), Mariah isn't in action but comes to terms with Amanda. Mariah walks down to the ring accompanied by a loud response from the fans after her performance at last week's PPV. She smiles and waves but her thoughts and emotions are still to her little sister and boyfriend in the hospital. Nervousness filled her body as she knew she had to keep her word to Amanda.

Amanda was already sitting ringsides and watched the show. She wasn't really interested in all this, but after Mariah had told her that she had some news for her she was too curious. As she sees Mariah she walks over to her and looks at her a bit insecure. She huddles again her teddy and then she looks at Mariah, waiting what she has to say.

Mariah approaches her with microphone held to her lips, “Amanda, I'm not going to drag this out or beat around the bush...For the last 2 years in the company, I've known something about you that made me hate you to bottom of my very being. Yes...your doctor was right, you do have a family...You're part of me and Amberz' familia...Don't get me wrong, but you weren't born from our mother...our father had an affair with another woman and your birth was the reason our family was driven apart.

As Amanda hears that her jaw drops down and she looks at Mariah in shock. She lets the teddy fall down and she has a strange glare in her eyes, "You mean ....no ..that can't be ...."

It's so confusing and she really doesn't know what to say.

"So you mean that I'm your sister and that ya knew it all the time I was here? ....and you never told me? ...."

So now you know why I made it my personal business to make sure your life was a living hell the past two years in this company, but when Amber got signed to this company this year, all of that changed...”

She swallows, but then she manages it to speak again, although she almost cries now, "And what made you change your mind?"

”Before Amber got signed I was ashamed to even mention I was related to you, but after she came back all of that changed. Amber made me see that I shouldn't hate you at all, you were innocent in all of this, just like us. If anyone I should hate it's our deceased father, but I can't even hold that against him anymore. You of all people should know that nobody is perfect.

Amanda sighs, “Yeah ..that’s right ..I know. I’m the living example for a non perfect person, but anyway …”

"My mother said their marriage wasn't working out anyway so his affair was just the thing that put the nail in the coffin. So I let go of my hatred for you and just watched you from afar - you had a happy life, found the guy of your dreams and even got married. Why should I ruin all of that and tell you that you're the reason my family was destroyed?”

She looks at Mariah again and now she really cries a bit, “And ..I’m really sorry that I was the reason for all the shit ..it really seems that I’m good for nothing ..Fuck ….I’m soooo sorry …..I only bring pain and chaos …I wish I would have the guts to leave and never come back.”

But then she stumble forward and takes Mariah’s hands. She hugs her now and huddles against her. She is so confused, but in some way happy that she found her family. “Please …don’t say anything …juz hold me …It ..it’s like a dream. I never thought that this would happen.”

Mariah embraces Amanda for a few moments before continuing, “Amanda...after what Gabe did to you...the divorce and all, I felt it was only right that I make up for all I've done to you by finally making it right and helping you. You don't need to be locked up like an animal, you're a human being dammit. And there's no need for apologies...I'm the one who is sorry. Could you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?”

Amanda sniffles and sobs a bit. She is so choked and almost can't speak anymore. Now she really clinches at Mariah.

"Forgive? ..Yeah ...I ..I'm sooo happy ..."

She looks at her now and doesn't let her go anymore.

"How could I be mad at you after all that you have done to me? ..I told ya before that I always liked ya, even as you tried to humiliate me and destroy me ..and now I know why …How could I hate my own sis? ...Oh God ..I'm so fuckin’ happy ..."

She wipes away her tears and the first time after her divorce she really is happy.

Mariah is at a lost of words at Amanda's reaction...”I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I'm just so new to this being a good sister thing. God, I really don't deserve you and Amber as my family.”

"Oh ..you do ...you really do. You showed me already what a great person you are. But now it time to give something back ...I will be always here for you now ..And I will do everything to prevent that such crap like in the last PPV will happen to ya again ..I promise ...And you will get your revenge then ..."

She looks at Mariah with a warm smile in her face, still holding her by her arms.

"So you have another lil sis now ...Maybe a crazy one, but I'm not so crazy that I don't realize what hapens around me ..."

She laughs a bit and is really happy now as Amanda and Mariah share a victory pose for the crowd.

The sound of Kirsten sarcastically clapping her hands slowly is heard, as Kirsten herself makes her way over to where Mariah and Amanda were still sat, just taking her place in front of the two of them as the expected flood of boos came about again.

Kirsten: Aww, wow, that really did just melt your heart, didn't it? Now, as absolutely beautiful as that was, really touching and everything.. I'm going to just leave this pretty short and sweet for you, because I have got better things to do afterall..

She allows a smirk to come across her face as she looked from Amanda to Mariah, then back at Amanda.

Kirsten: ..But I hope you're aware that nobody really gives a damn about your evidently fucked up family history. Enjoy your time together any other time but now. Nobody cares and you're taking up everyone's time. Got it? Ok, good. I'll see you girlies around later..

Both Mariah and Amanda, clearly annoyed at Kirsten being there, went to respond, but Kirsten held up a hand to stop them, as she turned on her heel and made her way back the other way. It was enough for her to just piss them off a little, for now and that's all she wanted.

Kirsten: Adios chicas.

On the following week of Xplosion (Sept. 12, 2008), Gabriel Wingue (Amanda's ex-husband) and Kirsten team up against Mariah and Amanda Cortez in the main event. Just before the main event start Mariah is shown backstage as she talks to Amanda. She gets ready for her match, but it seems that Amanda is in her strange mood again and that she doesn’t know what happens here again. Mariah gets a bit nervous and hacked off. She tries to convince Amanda to go with her to the ring, but she doesn’t have much success.

Eventually she has enough and grabs Amanda’s teddy and gives it to her. Then she takes Amanda by her hand and pulls her to the stage like a stubborn lil child, but this works and Amanda follows her.

Mariah almost drags Amanda to the ring and she seems to be a bit annoyed and also worried. Amanda is still dressed in her short white dress and hugs her teddy. She even seems to be a bit scared here in front of all the people in the arena. But eventually they slide into the ring. Now Amanda stands there and looks to the ground. It seems that she feels a bit more safe as she huddles the teddy again. Some of the fans are laughing at her now, but now Mariah shuts them up and takes the microphone.

Mariah: “I just want to thank all of you for your kind letters and emails of support during the last few weeks. ZX is out of the hospital and recovering nicely at home. I know he wishes he could be out here tonight when I kick Kirsten’s teeth down her throat, but baby, I’ll make sure to save enough of them to make you a necklace. Seriously, though, Kirsten this has to end between us…I’ve put a request to the GMs for a match at Redemption between us but I won’t know if they would accept the match I have in mind especially after what happened at Summertime Suffering.”

Mariah is about to continue the sound of the ring bell cuts her off. Amanda’s expression changes immediately. She becomes a cold glare in her face and now she puts away her teddy. She is totally focused now.

In the meantime Gabe and Kirsten arrived to the ring accompanied by Marcus. But before they can climb into the ring Amanda runs to the ropes. Without a warning she jumps over the ropes and takes Kirsten down with a jumping neckbreaker. They both crash to the floor, but Amanda doesn’t care. She comes up and now she jumps on Kirsten, pulls her up by her hair and smashes her face against the apron again and again. Then she shoves her into the ring.

During all of this that’s happened in mere seconds, Mariah has dropped the microphone with a “what the f*** just happened” look on her face as she watches Amanda continue to rampage against a retreating Gabriel Wingue. With Kirsten being rolled into the ring at her feet, Mariah turns to the crowd with a smile on her face as the crowd is on their feet cheering in anticipation for a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Mariah takes to the corner and begins stomping her foot in preparation for this quick finish, but Marcus Brett trips Mariah up from ringside to buy Kirsten some more time to recover from the assault from Amanda.

While Mariah lands on her face, Kirsten bows to the crowd sending a deafening amount of boos throughout the building as she drops a leg drop to the back of Mariah’s neck. Kirsten rolls up the Vixen Champion’s spine with a Camel Clutch as Marcus puts his arms around Kirsten’s waist on the ring apron for more leverage.

The referee orders that the hold be broken as Kirsten merely rolls her eyes and pulls Mariah up from the mat by the hair only to drive her face back into the unforgiving mat with a curb stomp. Marcus applauds at ringside as Kirsten applies a leg scissors to the head and neck of Mariah. Once again Marcus assists Kirsten from ringside holding her hands on the second rope adding more leverage and pressure to the submission.

The Big Show storms from the locker room and breaks the hold himself as he finally has his hands on Marcus Brett in the form of a chokeslam. Kirsten launches herself over the ropes with a springboard plancha but Big Show catches her mid-air in another chokeslam. Big Show drives Marcus through the nearby announcer’s table while holding Kirsten up in the air with ease. Just when everyone was wondering what the delay was for, Mariah dives from the top rope with a diving bulldog on the raised Kirsten ONTO the already destroyed Marcus.

Kirsten and Marcus may have won this match due to Big Show’s interference but it’s Big Show and Mariah who has had the last laugh tonight.

Meanwhile at the top of the entrance ramp, Gabe and Amanda are still waging war as Amanda knees Gabe in the gut and backs up in preparation for a Spear. Gabe manages to swing the steel chair (that he’s been using as his last defense against this savage beast) to stop her in her tracks. Amanda stands up groggily near the end of the edge of the stage as Gabe raises the chair once more. Gabe brings down the chair but tosses it aside at the last second as he can’t bring himself to do it. Amanda collapses to the floor from the pain of the earlier chair shot finally kicking in as Gabe escapes back into the locker room area.

On the August 19, 2008 edition of Xplosion, Gabe catches up with Mariah backstage as she just arrives to the arena, "Uh... can I talk to you for a second?"

Mariah spins around to see Gabe standing behind her. She's surprised at first, but anxious to hear what he has to say. "Oh...hey, whatcha need?"

"Advice..."

"About the match you have against me tonight? I don't have anything against you personally if that's what you're wondering. The bull’s-eye is on Kirsten's back for me."

"No... not at all. It's about the match with bigger consequences."

"Oh you mean, THAT match at the PPV...Yeah I was hoping Amanda would reconsider after I told her everything last week."

"So did I" Gabe bows his head sadly. "Not that my hopes were all that great."

Mariah sighs for a moment, "Amanda is thick-headed you should know that. She's one of those individuals who can only communicate her emotions through her fists - just like 90% of this locker room. She prolly doesn't want to do this match as much as you do deep down. *resting a hand on his shoulder* Gabe, this is only way to end it all really."

Gabe nods, acknowledging that she's right. "What do you think about it all?"

"What do I think? In all honesty, I think it was pretty damn awful of you to just dump her while she was in that asylum. C'mon, she was already broken down you just added more fuel to the fire. She didn't ask to be mentally unstable. You could've talked with her or at least been there for her. Not just drop her like a bad habit."

"You don't know what's it's like Mariah. To know that someone you love is never going to ever be the same. When I first went to see her, I was crushed, she was silent." Gabe looked up at her "She had the goofy, I have no idea where I am smile on, and didn't speak."

"And I sat in that lobby every day for a month and just couldn't stand to look at her."

Mariah gets his face, shouting, "I don't know what's it like?? My boyfriend was fighting for his life 2 weeks ago in that hospital from what Kirsten did to him. Thank God they were able to help him in time. And don't forget my youngest sister, Amber is still in there too. Not to mention my mother's condition...So don't EVER tell me I don't know what it feels like... Gabe, look, you can give me all the excuses you want, but who are you trying to convince? Me, or yourself?"

"You. I already convinced myself that I did what was best for me... I was prepared to deal with being called a dirt-bag."

"I know that I'm either going to have to let Amanda cripple and bury me or cripple and bury her and neither option is particularly great."

Mariah sighs, "Gabe, fighting her is unavoidable at this point. You can keep avoiding and dodging the problem but eventually you're going have to face it like a man. I'm just saying that maybe Amanda will come to her senses through that madness she's in right now."

"Yeah... I doubt that."

"So your advice is that I should fight her?"

"Well duh...believe it or not, Z and I fought each other on several occasions just to get over arguments. He won't admit it but I have several wins over him *laughing*"

"I'm pretty that this is not one of those fight's that's going to end with a kiss and make up. We're talking BURYING here Mariah, eg: one of us not be comin' back"

"Well that's when you need to decide for yourself what's more important.... your life and well-being or the broken heart of someone you still hold close to your heart

Gabe immediately becomes defensive. "Why does everyone think she's still close to my heart... I hate her."

Mariah perks a brow, "Then why do you need MY advice? Beating her to bloody pulp should be easy then. Once again, you must be trying to convince yourself you hate her."

"Shut it." Gabe bows his head, trying to look away from Mariah. "I feel like a traitor whenever I'm around another woman because... I still love her."

"The Marriage was too soon and my idiocy drove us apart when she was in the asylum. Everything that's went wrong in our relationship I instigated. "

Mariah smiles, "So now it finally comes out. Why can't you just tell her how you feel? You of all people should know she's not some soulless monster - she's all worked up b/c she thinks you DON'T love her anymore."

"No... let's set this straight right now. She HALF loves me. The half of her brain that is everything I love about her still loves me. The other half is so full of hate it wants to make my entrails into my ex-trails."

Mariah pats him on the back, "Well Gabe, looks like you've got your work cut out for you as the only way to get to her is to sort that out while you're fighting her."

"Again problem being, if we fight, then one of us won't be alive when it's over. Mariah, I need your help. I need time to get through to her.

Mariah looks puzzled, "What can I do? She barely listens to me, even more so than Amberz does. *shakes head*"

"I don't care if you have to lock her in an internet cafe at 4:30 in the morning. I need to talk to her 1-on-1 in a place where no one is going to get involved."

"Ok I'll see what I can do. I could prolly do it by holding that teddy bear of hers hostage."

Later that night in the main event, Gabe faces Mariah one on one. After their conversation earlier tonight, Gabe is hesitant to fight Mariah. Mariah doesn’t have any hard feelings against Gabe but she slaps him hard enough to bring him to his knees to show him she wasn’t playing around. This is enough to snap the Warrior into action with an enzuigiri as Mariah attempts to give him a hand up. Mariah sits up on the mat only for Gabe to slide in with a low dropkick to the face as he takes the momentum in this match.

Amanda is sitting near the ring and is pretty quiet. She has her teddy in her arm and it seems that she isn’t really interested in what is happening to her sister Mariah. She looks to the ground mostly, but then she begins to sing again.

~Amanda~ One, two, Mandy's coming for you, three four, better lock your door, five six, grab your crucifix, seven eight gonna stay up late, nine ten, never sleep again...

Then she lets her teddy fall down and she stands up. She walks over to the ring and climbs on the apron and watches the match from there. Now Mariah manages to Irish whip Gabe into the ropes. The referee doesn’t look for a moment and Amanda pulls back the ropes so that Gabe can’t swing back. He crashes against Amanda’s elbow now and stumbles forward and falls. Amanda grabs the ropes and jumps. She takes him down with a Hakagure, but even then she doesn’t stop. She kneels on top of him and punches his face again and again. Then she jumps up and runs over to the ring post. While she climbs on the ring post Gabe comes up to his feet again, but it’s too late for him. She jumps at him and takes him down with an Over Castle. As he lays there she puts her foot on his chest and raises her arms in victory.

~Amanda~ Look Gabe, I told ya to bring it to an end. Last week you’ve had the chance, but you didn’t take this chance. This was a really big fault and now it’s too late for you. I promised that I will make your life to hell and I keep my promises ….I will destroy you and at the next PPV I will burry you together with my dreams ..

But now the ring bell is heard and Mariah gets disqualified. As Amanda hears the ring bell she suddenly changes. She still stands there and looks down at Gabe, but now it seems that she is really scared and doesn’t know what juz happened. She trembles and even cries a bit. Now Mariah comes over to her and puts her arm around her. She leads Amanda out of the ring and gives her her teddy to calm her down again.

Then they both walk off, while Mariah shakes her head for Amanda ruining her match before Kirsten attacks her from behind with the stolen Vixen Championship. Amanda stands there crying as Mariah laid at her feet, Kirsten kicking her as she tried to stand. Gabe shoves Kirsten aside, clearly stating, “That’s enough!” to her.

Carla shakes her head as she stands at the top of the entrance ramp.

Carla: “How many times do we have to come out here tonight, sheesh? Kirsten, you’ve made it clear time and time again that you want another shot that the title who claim you never lost to Mariah. While Mariah wants payback against you in a match were she wants everything in the book to be allowed to gain her victory. I see a way to please both of you ladies in a Last Woman Standing match at Redemption for the Vixen Championship. That way you two can tear each other apart until one of you can’t get up after a 10 count.”

On the pre-PPV edition of Xplosion (September 26, 2008), Kirsten faced Amanda in singles competition. Kirsten smiles on her way to the ring, carrying the stolen Vixen Championship. She drops the title on the commentary table and looks towards the entrance ramp, stretches and coaxes Amanda to the ring.

Kirsten gets her wish as Amanda’s entrance theme hits and the lights go out to welcome the Angel of Darkness herself. Amanda stands at the top of the entrance ramp looking innocent and confused as usual as Kirsten continues to coax her to the ring in the dark.

The lights turn back on as Amanda stops in her tracks to stare down at Kirsten standing in the middle of the ring as a smile washes over her face. The crowd goes wild as Mariah (dressed in black bikini and faded blue jeans) is standing behind Kirsten, who is looking rather confused at Amanda. Mariah taps Kirsten on the shoulder and hits her with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) as she spins around.

Kirsten is out cold as Amanda hands Mariah back her stolen title. Mariah holds the title up as she stands on the turnbuckle. It looks like the Vixen Champion is dead serious about putting Kirsten in her place this Sunday.

Later that evening, Marcus Brett faces The Big Show in a Barbwire Steel Cage match. Kirsten races onto the scene to make a save, handing Marcus a steel chair to get the upper hand. Marcus opens up the door and takes the chair in hand as Kirsten looks underneath the ring and pulls out a ladder. Kirsten sets up the ladder and begins cutting away at the barbwire with wire cutters to provide Marcus Brett the means to escape the cage.

The Big Show tries to regain his vertical base but he’s hammered back down with another chair shot from Marcus Brett. That’s not enough to keep him so Marcus takes flight from the turnbuckle with diving tornado DDT onto the unforgiving steel chair. Marcus then sets his sights on climbing up the cage.

Kirsten finishes up clearing a gap in the barbwire in the cage as Mariah races up the ladder to stop her. The two Vixens exchange blows on the top of the ladder. Marcus reaches the gap at the top of the cage to assist Kirsten with a chair shot to Mariah. Big Show pulls at Marcus’ legs before he could swing to bring him down a level to on top of the turnbuckle.

Kirsten smashes Mariah’s face into the steel cage and suplexes her off the top of the ladder and up the entrance ramp. Both Vixens lay motionless as chants of “This is awesome!” fill the building.

Back in the ring, Marcus knees Big Show in the stomach as both of them stand on the top rope and performs a Complete Shot from the top. Big Show counters during execution with a Showstopper chokeslam to the mat, driving Marcus Brett THROUGH the ring floor.

Chants of “Holy shit!” echo throughout the ring as Big Show staggers toward the cage door to win the match. The referee is looking inside the hole where Marcus Brett is driven and gives the signal that Brett won the match as he’s already outside of the ring!

The Big Show looks on in disbelief as Kirsten helps Marcus out from under the ring. Xplosion ends tonight with the thought on everyone’s minds being that if all of this destruction happened tonight, then what’s in store for the Last Woman Standing match at Redemption where ANYTHING is legal?

At Redemption 2008 (Sept. 28, 2008), Mariah put her Vixen Championship on the line against Kirsten in a Last Woman Standing match. The scene goes backstage to see interviewer Michael Cole stood with a microphone in hand as usual, ready to set off another segment.

Michael Cole: Now, ladies and Gentlemen, if you'd all like to please welcome my guest at the time, she is none other than the 'Glitter Angel' Nicole.

The camera pans out slightly to see Nicole stood beside him, the first time the fans had seen her in months.

Cole: Now Nicole, we all know you're still in the middle of taking some time off, but now you've come here tonight with something important to say, right?

Nicole: Yes, Michael, and thanks for this time to do that. You see, I've been sitting at home for months now, watching Xplosion every week and quite honestly I hate what I've been seeing. My own sister and her boyfriend doing things which quite honestly disgust me. It's just horrible to see. I never for one second thought she'd be the type to do such things, especially for no good reason, but that's why I'm here and that's to try to get her to change her ways. Right now, I hate being associated with her, as her sister of all things..

She looks down to the ground, before looking into the camera with a more serious look.

Nicole: Kirsten, you're my sister and I love you, but I can't stand by you through this. Everything you're doing to Mariah is just plain wrong and I don't for a second, agree with any of it. Mariah hasn't done a damn thing wrong and you hospitalize her boyfriend and her sister? How exactly would you feel if it were the other way round and me and Marcus were the ones in the hospital? Look, I just want this to end. If I'm going to be completely honest right now, Kirsten, I hope Mariah kicks your ass tonight, maybe she'll kick some sense into you, it's no more than you deserve right now. I just want everything to go back to the way it was, when I could really support you in your career. Because Kirsten, right now this is just pathetic. I just wanted to make sure you knew that as long as you're doing this, I don't have your back and I certainly won't be there to support you. Not this time. And that's your own fault.

Nicole shakes her head and lets out a quick sigh before leaving the scene. Nicole is shoved back onto the scene by a pissed off Mariah.

Mariah: Oh, great, Kirsten’s wise and holy sister is here to speak her little mind. Tell me ‘Nikki’ – why the HELL did it take you so long to try and talk some sense into your little sister? Was it after she put yet another person in the hospital? Or were you waiting until she gets lucky and adds me to that list as well?

Nicole starts to speak but Mariah slaps the taste out of her mouth before she could utter a word.

Mariah: If I was ANY ounce of the bitch your precious little sister is, I wouldn’t hesitate to do something so horrible to you to get sweet revenge for what she’s done to the people I care about. But no, that’s not me. Just watch me out there tonight…I won’t have to lower myself to her level. I’m going to unleash all of that pain and sorrow and guarantee her ass in a hospital, eating her food through a feeding tube. Then, Nikki, you’ll have plenty of time to finish talking since into that thick skull of hers. You see, this won’t be a Last Woman Standing match – this is going to be a Last Woman Still Alive match after I’m done with her.

After those strong words, the Vixen Champion makes her way to the ring with her championship on her shoulder, waving to the fans as she stops to strike a pose for the cameramen around the ring.

Kirsten makes her way to the ring accompanied by Marcus Brett and a chorus of boos but Mariah doesn’t wait for her to get into the ring. Mariah meets her at the entrance ramp by smashing the Vixen Championship title into Kirsten’s face followed by Marcus’ face as well before taking Kirsten by the hair towards the ring. Mariah shoves Kirsten into the steel steps to start off, backing up to execute a Sweetest Day (Scotty 2 Hotty Facebuster) onto the steel steps. Kirsten’s face bounces against the unforgiving steel as the referee has no choice to begin the 10 count. Kirsten up after a count of 6, just as Marcus blindsides Mariah with a chair shot.

Marcus Brett hammers Mariah with another chair shot from behind and tosses Kirsten another chair after they roll the Vixen Champion into the ring. Mariah uses the ropes to pull herself up but Kirsten and Marcus are waiting and nail her with a Con-Chair-to as she turns around. Mariah drops back to the mat like a brick as the referee starts the 10 count.

The Big Show charges down to the ring to assist the Wildfyre Vixen as Kirsten and Marcus greet him with another Con-Chair-to. Big Show punches both chairs out of their hands with ease then shoving them aside to pull Mariah on her feet at a count of 8. Mariah stumbles a bit but she manages to remain standing.

Marcus comes down from the turnbuckle with a double axe handle with no effect to The Big Show. Big Show turns around with a headbutt followed by a Showstopper to Marcus Brett. Kirsten leaps from the top rope next with a diving cross body to the World’s Largest Athlete but he alleyoops her out of the ring with ease. Mariah shakes off the cobwebs and follows up with handspring plancha out of the ring and onto the recovering Kirsten. Both Vixens are down until a count of 9 before getting back up. Big Show carries Marcus to the locker room on his shoulder, leaving Mariah and Kirsten to fight the remainder of this match fair and square – or so we hope.

Both Vixens exchange blows at ringside, neither having the upper hand until Kirsten chokes Mariah with the video cables on the ground. Mariah backs up into the nearby ringpost and smashes Kirsten’s head into post to free herself. Not hesitating for a moment, Mariah backs up and connects with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) to the side of Kirsten’s head into the ring post. Kirsten is down for another count of 9.

Mariah rolls her into the ring and takes to the corner for another Heartbreaker, stomping the foot in preparation. Kirsten groggily stands to her feet as Mariah closes in – Kirsten ducks underneath and hammers Mariah with one of the steel chairs lying on the mat. Mariah drops to the mat as Kirsten goes to the top rope and connects with a Royal Flush (450 Splash). Kirsten flips Mariah off as the referee makes the 10 count but Mariah nips up at after a 7 count and Irish whips Kirsten into the far corner.

Mariah closes the gap between them with a handspring elbow into the corner, once again, smashing the back of Kirsten’s head on the ring post. Mariah follows up with a shoulder thrust into the corner before positioning Kirsten onto the top turnbuckle. Mariah softens Kirsten up with a few punches to the head until Kirsten shoves her off the top. Mariah manages to land on knee but that doesn’t save her from the diving variation of the Diva Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer) by Kirsten. After execution, Kirsten kicks Mariah over onto her back and flips her off as the referee makes the count.

Kirsten looks in disbelief as Mariah staggers to her feet – mere moments before the count of 10. Kirsten shakes her head as she bangs the steel chair on the mat for another shot to the Wildfyre Vixen. Raven races down to the ring and snatches the chair from Kirsten. Kirsten runs towards Mariah with nothing in hand and eats a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) which turns her back around to face Raven to delivers a Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) after tossing the chair aside. Kirsten stumbles towards Mariah once more and drops to her knees, making her fair game for the incoming 2 Hot for TV (Scissor Kick) that drives her to the mat. Kirsten stays down for the count of 10, allowing Mariah to retain the Vixen Championship.

The referee gets the Vixen Championship from ringside and hands her the title. Raven stands at her side to celebrate the win. Mariah is struck from behind with very same steel chair that Raven took from Kirsten earlier, by Kirsten herself. Before Mariah could turn around, Kirsten tosses the chair into Raven’s hands and slides out of the ring. Mariah gets in Raven’s face, shoving her back. Raven tries to explain but her own frustration with this situation causes her to lash out at Mariah as both Vixens exchange blows while Kirsten has the last laugh as she walks back to the locker room. On the post-PPV edition of Xplosion (October 10, 2008), Mariah calls Raven out to the ring to explain what happened at the PPV. Mariah, dressed in stonewashed jeans and sleeveless white top, stands in the middle of the ring with the Vixen Championship on her shoulder, tapping her foot in anticipation of Raven joining her in the ring.

"Go Girl" by Young Boss and Trina blasts through the PA and Raven come through the curtains with a smile on her face. The crowd pops up cheering as she makes her way to the ring. She stands in front of Mariah face to face then nudges her out of the way, holding a fist up to one section of the crowd and then another. Raven looks at Mariah while pacing the ring in her heels and tosses her a microphone giving her the floor.

Mariah: "I watched the tape from last Sunday and I see I was in the wrong to blame you for what happened after the match. For that I'm sorry...but I'm not sorry about taking a shot at you. I didn't need your help to put Kirsten down...didn't then...won't ever need your help. Tell me Rae, did you think that would nudge you closer to the Vixen title instead of rubbing elbows with the second rate bitches in the Women's Division?"

Rae: "Well you're pissed aren't you? Look Mariah, we go way back, three years if I'm correct and you know damn well that if I wanted a shot at my baby *Raven walks up to Mariah and taps the Vixen Title resting on her shoulder* I'd get it just that quick. But since you're new with it I thought 'Eh, Marisol should win this win this.’ So like a good friend, I rushed down to the ring and gave you the help you obviously needed.”

Mariah: "Baby Rae, err T2, as how the gals have been calling you in the locker room for the past few years...I know we've been cool during this thing getting Amanda's head back on her shoulders...but when it comes down to this title...I don't want any help from you. You didn't see me coming down there to help you take out the trash called Trish Stratus. *crowd cheers at Mariah's comment* About your 'baby' I'll give you that and I respect the fact that you and Kirsten have held this title more times than any woman in ZXWWF history. That's something even the legendary Sensational Mary hasn't even done. But enough flattery, Rae, if you want your shot - c'mon and take it. You know this 'showstoppin' senorita is a fighting champion.

Raven smiles and giggles a bit at the T2 comment.

Rae: A fighting champion? Hell who doesn't know that already? And about my shot, I already have one. Remember when Kirsten won a battle royal then later beat me for the title on the 1st Xplosion. Well a rematch clause is still in my contract. So seeing as I never got my rematch...Well you know what's next.

Mariah smiles before continuing: "Of course I do...so you get a shot against me at the next PPV. It'll be fun Rae - finally I'll get to slap you around for stealing Z from me when you two were dating. Face it - I'm gonna give you an abortion from your 'baby' here permanently.”

Rae: “Actually in my contract it says I get a rematch whenever I see fit. Helps to have family ties in the business doesn't it? But don't worry, I won't give you a match like I gave Trina. That bitch had it coming. And I stole Z from you? Sweetie, as I remember it you two were friends on the 'off' part of your relationship...once again. So he was all mine. And we did anything and everything you can think of.”

Mariah: “Keep pushing buttons and Kirsten won't be the only one picking her teeth off the ground. (Grins) Besides you only took Z then because the only thing you could ever do was stand in others' shadows. You stood in mine then and Trish's everyday of your life afterwards. Tell me Rae when are you going to be your OWN woman?”

Rae: “Let's get one thing straight before this turns nasty. I don't need you or Trish to define who I am in this ring. I've proven that I can do my thing every night, my own way since day one. So all this 'me being Trish' thing I don't really see.”

Just as Rae finishes her sentence, another voice is heard as Kirsten makes her way on stage with a microphone in hand, welcomed as always by a chorus of boos, which she simply shrugs off.

Kirsten: Oh ladies, come on now, stop all this. I mean really, I couldn't possibly stand back there any longer and listen to this, someone has to do something here, and I guess it's just going to have to be me. First off, let me just take this time to set the record straight here. At Redemption, I was screwed out of the win, I clearly would have won if it wasn't for Raven sticking her nose in other people's business. I didn't need anyone after the whole Marcus and Big Show fiasco was over, I was on my own and I expected for Mariah to be, too. So Mariah, what if you said you didn't ask Rae to help you, I don't care, I don't have proof of that, for all I care, it was the plan the entire time. Whatever. Fighting champion my ass.

Still not allowing either Raven or Mariah get a word in edge-ways, Kirsten quickly continued.

Kirsten: But nonetheless, let's move onto now. Okay, so as I said, I was back there listening, and Raven honey, that was a pretty long time ago I beat you for that title, I'm surprised you remember that far back, well done. But honestly and I sincerely mean this, that's great to hear you'll be the one getting a title shot next. This may be the only time me and Mariah are ever going to agree, but it's good to see you finally step out of other people's shadows and get back to doing things for yourself, yeah, seriously. Now, since losing that Vixen Championship, sure, I've had a few rematches, unfortunately never regaining MY title, but, whatever, I don't honestly care. I'm sure I could get another shot whenever I want, because people have to remember that whether they love me or hate me, I'm still the best Vixen Champion there has ever been or ever will be. There's no denying that. So just as a reminder, I hope the two of you don't get too comfortable on top of the Vixen Division right now, because trust me ladies, it won't last for long; for either of you. And I can sure guarantee that. I just thought I'd let you both know is all. Now, go on you two, get back to fighting about who had ZX first or whatever. Hmm, so he's not here right now, still stuck in hospital if I'm not mistaken and yet he manages to cause problems here? Well ain't that just something..

Letting out a slight giggle, Kirsten dropped the microphone down to her side and let the boos just come at her again, as expected, before she simply taunts the crowd, showing them as well as Raven, Mariah and everybody else, she didn't care what anyone thought.

Mariah quickly raises the microphone back to her lips as smile curls across her lips, “Wait, Kirsten, don’t leave as we’re not done talking yet. You come out here, crying about you didn’t get a fair shot at Redemption and T2 here says she’s got a title shot that she’s been waiting to use. It sounds to me that we got the usual case of “Me Want Title Match” crybabies. I’m no GM but if both of you ladies want me, you can have me in a three way dance at the upcoming Pick Your Poison PPV. I’m glad to give both of you what you want and prove again that this title is here with me to stay.”

With those words, Raven and Kirsten nod in agreement, leaving to the locker room as Mariah sits on the turnbuckle with her Vixen Championship on her shoulder as she waves to the fans.

On the October 17, 2008 edition of Xplosion, Kirsten faced Raven in singles competition. These two Vixens stare each other down, face to face while the crowd cheers the roof off waiting for this match to get underway. The two open this match with a slugfest, sending brutal fists back-and-forth. Raven gains the upper hand and takes Kirsten down with a standing hurracanrana with punches immediately following. Kirsten pushes Raven off to get to her feet, but she finds herself rolling out of the ring after a Whirly-Bird. Kirsten, although dizzy, lands on her feet but hits the mat hard after Raven dives through the ropes, hitting a suicide dive.

To everyone’s surprise Mariah made her way down the ramp, pushing Raven out of her way, to the announcers table. Raven takes the time to stare at the Vixen Champion with evil eyes turning her back to Kirsten.

Raven turns around and catches Kirsten’s foot, blocking a high kick. She pulls Kirsten in and takes her down with a clothesline and gets a near fall. Raven forcefully pulls Kirsten up by her hair but catches a knee to the side and a wheel kick to the face. As Raven’s body lies on the mat Kirsten quickly hits a Standing Phoenix Splash for a 2 count. Kirsten holds Raven by her legs and slingshots her over the top rope. Raven hangs on skinning the cat, but flies off hitting her head on the announcers table after a dropkick to the back from Kirsten. Raven uses the table, trying to get back up to her feet.

Kirsten slides out with a smile and walks over to Mariah, who gets up from her seat. As soon as Mariah got up Kirsten pushed her back in her seat before spearing Raven to the ring apron. Kirsten rolls Raven back in the ring as she taunts Mariah to join the fight, but she stays in her seat keeping her cool for as long as she can. Kirsten slide back in the ring to receive a big elbow shot from Raven who looks to be in control again. Raven powers Kirsten back to the turnbuckle and dashes to the corner opposite of her. Raven cartwheels off looking to complete a handspring splash but Kirsten wraps her arms around Raven’s waist and nails a German suplex in the middle of the ring. Kirsten heads up top hoping to end this with a Royal Flush (450 Splash) but takes flight across the ring after Raven hops up and takes her down to the mat with a suplex from the top rope. The ref begins the 10 count as both Vixens lay in the ring lifeless…

Both Vixens manage to get up after the count of 7 as a video is played on the monitor. The video shows footage of 2 years ago when ZX and Raven were dating. This moment in history shows them at the movie theatre were Raven is first to turn the ‘heat’ up in the dark room. Mariah’s eyes widen as Kirsten grins to herself, knowing that Marcus Brett had successfully broken into the control room and played this video.

Raven on the other hand, hasn’t noticed the video playing on the monitor. She reaches for Kirsten who slides underneath the ropes exiting the ring, waving good-bye. Raven gives her a “what the f***” look before turning around to the referee only to taste Mariah’s heel in her jaw with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music).

Raven drops to the mat out cold as Kirsten laughs in delight at her handiwork. Mariah invites her back to the ring but Kirsten merely laughs her way to the locker room, clearing has broken down another wall in the former friendship between Raven and Mariah.

On the October 24, 2008 edition of Xplosion, Mariah teams up with Deathmatch Champion Samoa Joe and Jon Angels against the team of C-Money, Raven, and Kirsten. Samoa Joe looks eager to start the match off with C-Money, who is still standing on the ring apron. Raven narrows her eyes at him and insists he starts the match. C-Money motions to enter the ring but smacks Raven on the rear, pushing her into the ring. Raven’s jaw hangs open as she’s forced to start the match with the Deathmatch Champion.

Samoa Joe sighs and tags in Mariah to start the match, as he is completely not interested in taking on Raven. Mariah slingshots herself into the ring with a flying clothesline to Raven. Raven ducks underneath, allowing Mariah to crash and burn on the middle of the ring. Kirsten smiles in delight as Raven pounces on Mariah with a Lou Thesz Press on wake up, clearing taking out her frustrations from last week when the Vixen Champion cost her the match.

Raven slaps C-Money on the ring apron who was talking to T-Bone at ringside before dropping a guillotine leg drop on the throat of the Vixen Champion. The referee ushers Raven out of the ring as C-Money is the legal man. C-Money rolls Mariah over and applies a camel clutch but Samoa Joe breaks the hold before returning to his corner.

Pulling her up to her feet by her long violet hair, C-Money drives her back to the mat with a thunderous diving reverse DDT, followed by a cocky pin (flexing/mocking Joe and Jon on the apron), but only earns a 2 count before Mariah kicks out on her own. C-Money Irish whips Mariah into the ropes and bends down to follow up with a Samoan drop but Mariah rolls over his back and hits the ropes to counter with Too Hot facebuster (Scotty 2 Hotty Facebuster). Mariah stalks C-Money in preparation for the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) and closes in for the kill. C-Money grabs Mariah’s thigh and dragon screws her to the mat, applying a figure four leglock to keep her grounded and away from her team’s corner.

T-Bone stands on the ring apron to distract the referee as C-Money grabs the middle rope to add more pressure to the hold while Kirsten stomps on Mariah’s knees repeatedly before quickly returning to her corner. T-Bone, C-Money, and Kirsten repeat this tactic again before Jon Angels and Samoa Joe get fed up and take action. Jon Angels pulls T-Bone’s feet from underneath him at ringside, causing his face to smash onto the apron below. As he holds his jaw in pain, Jon Angels positions him for the Heavenly Descent (The Last Ride) and drives T-Bone through the announcers’ table and down to JR, King, and Francine’s feet.

Francine: JR, you better get some of that BBQ sauce you’re always talking about. Stick a fork in him, he’s done. JR: Good golly Francine, you’re right. There’s never any raw meat in ZXWWF.

Meanwhile, Samoa Joe delivers a Yakuza Kick to the meddling Kirsten while the referee forces C-Money to release the middle rope. While the referee is concerned with C-Money, Samoa Joe kicks Mariah over onto her stomach (before returning to his corner) to reverse the flow of pain on the figure four leglock.

With the tables turned, C-Money bites tooth and nail against the pain of the figure four leglock. He manages to be close enough to reach the ropes for the hold to be broken by the referee. Both Mariah and C-Money catch their breath, with the Vixen Champion limping over to her team’s corner and leaps towards Samoa Joe to make the tag while C-Money does the same for Kirsten.

The referee sees the tag for Joe to enter but Kirsten steps down from the ring apron, leaving C-Money at the mercy of Samoa Joe, who waits no time in dragging him back into the middle of ring for a series of chops to the midsection. Samoa Joe Irish whips him into the corner while Mariah is resting ringside while Jon Angels returns on apron.

Kirsten attacks Mariah from behind while Raven adding to the insult, stomping her on the ground. Both Vixens lift her up and drop her onto the barricade while Kirsten smiles in delight at their teamwork. Raven motions to give her a high-five but instead whips Kirsten into the steel steps as she leaves both of her Pick Your Poison PPV opponents on the ground licking their wounds.

At Pick Your Poison 2008 (November 2, 2008), Mariah put her Vixen Championship on the line against Raven and Kirsten in a Triple Threat match. Backstage, there’s an incident whereas several of the other Divas and Vixens in attendance for tonight’s show have found both Sunny and Lise Starr beaten and bruised in the hallway. No one seems to know who has done this.

King: Who would want to do that to poor Sunny? I thought she brightened up everyone’s day! JR: That may be true but someone sure has some ill will to her and Lise Starr. Francine: I dunno…maybe everyone isn’t all smiles and sunshines as you like to think.

The match unexpectedly starts with Raven and Mariah working together as a team against Kirsten – the puppeteer for the past few weeks who got the former friends at each other’s throats. Kirsten is hurled to the ropes and driven to the mat with a double arm drag as Mariah follows up with a handspring splash to Kirsten’s torso while Raven drops a guillotine leg drop to her throat. Mariah points to the turnbuckle and climbs up top for a Fantasy (Shooting Star Press) but Raven doesn’t allow her to get airborne as she leaps up to the middle rope and snap suplexes Mariah from the top rope onto Kirsten’s midsection. Kirsten rolls underneath the bottom rope in pain to catch her breath on the outside while Raven takes the opportunity to get payback on Mariah for her actions during last week’s Xplosion show.

Mariah stands holding her back, but not surprised in the least at Raven’s change of heart. Raven greets her with a slap to the face, but Mariah sends one back with just as much sting as the last. Raven motions for another but Mariah wrenches her arm back and delivers a kick to the face (Booker T Arm Wrench and Kick combo), allowing her another opportunity to shake off the pain from the superplex. Mariah takes a page from ZX’s playbook and executes a break-dance leg drop on the fallen Raven. Mariah goes for a pin but Raven reverses the attempt with a small package. Mariah manages to kick out at 1 as Raven returns to a vertical base.

Raven knees Mariah in the midsection, preparing her for a Bird of Prey (Half Nelson Face Buster). Raven’s focus goes to Kirsten at ringside getting up on the apron and Raven stops her return to the ring with a baseball slide to shins, causing Kirsten to hit her face on the ring apron as she lands ringside once more. Raven turns around to face an incoming Heartbreaker but Raven ducks underneath and sends the Vixen Champion to the mat with a Nodding Off (Edge O’Matic) with a hooked leg pin. Kirsten manages to pull referee Pamela Miller out of the ring by the leg to stop the count.

Raven reaches over the ropes to grab Kirsten by the hair but Kirsten retaliates with a jawbreaker after briefly hopping onto the ring apron. Kirsten returns to the ring in style with a slingshot splash to the downed Raven. Mariah is up on one knee as she struggles to stand but Kirsten remedies that with a toe kick and pulls her into position for the Diva Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer). Kirsten taunts the crowd to a chorus of boos but Mariah counters with a Charmbracelet (Double Wrist Suplex Pin) but Pamela Miller is just now crawling back into the ring to make the count.

Pamela’s delay allows Raven to break the pinfall. Raven stands behind Mariah, stalking her for a Bitch Kick (Chick Kick). Like the Heartbreaker moments ago, Mariah knows her friend too well and counters with a dragon screw to the mat and locks in a Texas Cloverleaf to Raven’s lower body. Kirsten isn’t going to take this lying down and applies a camel clutch to Raven’s upper body. Referee Miller studies Raven for any signs of submission in this combination submission, seen for the first time in ZXWWF history. Soon, Kirsten and Raven are back to back wrenching more pressure to their holds. Kirsten grows annoyed that Raven isn’t showing any signs of submitting but at the same time she doesn’t plan on sharing a victory with Mariah, so she elbows Mariah repeatedly in the back of the head until she releases her cloverleaf. Kirsten smiles in delight for a moment until she’s stuck with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) to the side of her jaw. Raven capitalizes on the change of momentum and rolls Kirsten up in a school boy pin before Mariah realizes what’s going in.

Raven gets a near-fall before Mariah breaks the fall with a double axe handle. Raven wakes up with a hard chop to Mariah’s chest before stepping up to her head with an enzuigiri to the back of the head, which sends Mariah into Raven’s arms for a High Price (Edgecution). Kirsten uses Mariah’s back as a stepping stone for a shining wizard to the face of Raven and she quickly spins around to connect with a Barbie Twist (Extreme Twist of Fate) to Mariah.

Kirsten rolls Mariah over and pins the Vixen Champion only for her to barely kick out at 2.9. Kirsten looks on in disbelief and drags her body alongside Raven’s. Kirsten executes a beautiful springboard moonsault to both grounded Vixens. Kirsten decides this isn’t enough to put them away and goes to the top rope for not her trademarked Royal Flush (Swanton Bomb) but a Spiral Phenomenal (AJ Styles’ Spiral Tap/Corkscrew Moonsault) from the top rope to both Vixens again. This time Kirsten’s plans don’t go the way she planned as both Vixens move out of the way at the last second and drop double elbow drops to her body as she crashes and burns.

Raven and Mariah’s teamwork ends there as Raven leaps towards Mariah with an Air Rae (Lou Thesz Press) but the Vixen Champion counters with a To The Floor (Sky High/Sit-down spinebuster). Before Mariah could even get a one count, Kirsten delivers another shining wizard to her face.

Kirsten lifts Mariah onto her shoulders, signaling for Raven to take the top rope. Raven pumps up the crowd in anticipation for a top rope Divalicious (Stratus-faction) and leaps from the top rope. Mariah ducks underneath Raven’s attempt and rolls down with a sunset flip to Kirsten just as the lights go out in the area.

Sounds of a struggle can be heard as the technical team rushes to get the lights back on. When the lights finally come back on, a disturbing sight can be seen in the middle of the ring, whereas referee Pamela Miller doesn’t know what to make of this – the reigning Vixen Champion, Mariah – bleeding from the forehead, and her two challengers for this match, Kirsten and Raven – who both have signs of being roughed up on their bodies, are all out cold in the middle of the ring.

JR: Bah-gawd, what’s going on? Who in their right mind would ruin such a great contest between the best Vixens in the division today? King: I dunno, JR, but it has to be someone who REALLY doesn’t like either of these ladies. Francine: Well, at least Mariah can’t complain anymore…someone finally gave Kirsten a taste of her own medicine.

Pamela Miller makes the 10-count to declare this match a draw between the 3 Vixens, while the championship doesn’t change hands in a draw. The lights flicker for a second as Cheerleader Melissa stands at the top of the entrance ramp, holding a bloodied and bent steel chair AND both the Women’s and Vixen’s Championships on her shoulders.

JR: It has to be that vile woman who did this! King: But why? Francine: Isn’t it obvious? She’s putting the Vixen’s and Women’s Division on notice. If ZXWWF Management notices that she took out both champions and the contenders in one night with ease, they definitely will have their eyes on this woman in the future. King: If you ask me, I think she’s just being a sore loser after the QOTR tournament. JR: That may be true, but I have to agree with Francine. Cheerleader Melissa just put all of the women in ZXWWF on notice.

Draw due to Cheerleader Melissa taking out all three competitors, the title does not change hands – Mariah retains. On the November 14, 2008 edition of Xplosion, reigning Gen-Next Division Champion Justice faces Cheerleader Melissa who was still carrying the stolen Women's and Vixen Championships she stole from Sunny and Mariah at Pick Your Poison that previous Sunday. Luckily, Mariah was among the numerous Divas and Vixens at ringside acting as Lumberjills. In a bizarre turn of events, the three Vixens (Mariah, Kirsten, and Raven) who were at each other’s throats at Pick Your Poison, are working together to assault the reeling Cheerleader Melissa. Several of the other lumberjills at ringside join in, except for Lise Starr and Candice Michelle who refuse to have any part of this. The other lumberjills stop their attack on Melissa and begin forcing Lise and Candice to back up the entrance ramp as Justice is left confused on why all of the lumberjills left the match. The following week on Xplosion (Nov. 21, 2008), ZX arranges a meeting with Samoa Joe and Cheerleader Melissa to return the stolen Deathmatch, Vixen, and Women's Championships to their respective owners. After the commercial break, Xplosion returns to the scene of Samoa Joe and Cheerleader Melissa standing the middle of the ring with the Deathmatch Championship draped over Samoa Joe’s shoulder while the Women’s and Vixen Championships are over the shoulders of Cheerleader Melissa.

Melissa: “Oh my god, Joe. We did a such a bad thing at the Pick Your Poison PPV. We took 3 belts that wasn’t ours from 3 of ZXWWF’s greatest champions in history. (sarcastically rolling her eyes before she continues) What ever are we going to do?”

Joe: “I don’t know, Melissa. I guess we could formally apologize out here tonight. First of all, we would like to apologize to the owner of ZXWWF for handing his ass to him first class at the end of last week’s show. And we would like to apologize to the oh-so-great champions whose entire title reigns have been nothing but mastery the means to evade REAL competition.”

Mariah, Sunny, and Jon Angels (accompanied by Kristal Heart) all come to the ring without hesitation to get back their stolen property. All three champions are about to attack Samoa Joe and Cheerleader Melissa but they hold their ground as Joe breaks the ice.

“Whoa, ladies, there’s no need to get hasty. We’re going to give you back these belts…just for you can each have enough time to say your good-byes to them before we take them away.”

Melissa walks in front of Mariah and stares her down after glancing at Sunny momentarily. Sunny gets annoyed at Melissa’s actions and raises her microphone to her lips, “We all know how badly you two want a piece of us. How about you two do the right thing and get in line like everyone else?”

Sunny steps forward for Melissa’s reply but Melissa easily pushes her aside as she shoves the Women’s title into her arms. Melissa grins, “Of course, I want you, Sunny… but you’re not in my league. I want a challenge, so I want the Vixen Champion, hence why I made sure I won my #1 Contender match tonight. Mariah’s the main course, while you’ll be dessert. You should be afraid…Mariah. No other woman in ZXWWF has beaten me by pinfall nor submission since my debut.”

Mariah smiles widely, “Melissa, I’m not afraid of you. You’re pathetic in my eyes. I thought Kirsten was low but no, you take the cake, hun. Attacking people behind their backs and stealing things that don’t even belong to you, only to bully your way into a title shot. If you wanted a shot, you could’ve just asked me.”

Melissa: “I was doing YOU a favor at the PPV, by making sure you retained that title. You knew damn well you couldn’t beat both of them at the same time.”

Mariah: “I didn’t ask you to do anything. Win, lose, or draw. I’m a fighting champion. You ruined a great match – so now we’ll never know that match’s outcome. (glances at the Vixen Championship) You know what…keep my title until next week…that way you can at least say you’ve ‘held’ gold in your career as I’ll personally make sure it won’t be happening anywhere else but in your dreams.”

Cheerleader Melissa motions to attack but Samoa Joe comes between Melissa and Mariah, “Ladies, claws down…we can save that for next week. Just give the ‘senorita’ back her title and we’ll be on our merry little way.”

Sunny and Mariah exit the ring after receiving their titles, leaving Melissa rolling her eyes at them as Jon Angels, Kristal Heart, and Samoa Joe remain.

Jon Angels has his hand out for his title as Samoa Joe motions to give it to him. He snatches his hand back drops the title at his feet.

Joe: “I don’t owe you anything Angels. You know damn well that this title should still mine. You didn’t even pin me to get it. I got a better idea…if you want your title back, you get down on your knees and take it. Just ask your little girlfriend from tips…I’m sure she’s used to being in that position.”

Jon Angels swings with a punch but Joe evades and hammers Jon across the back of the head with the microphone. Jon Angels drops to his knees and Joe closes in with a running knee to the face as Kristal Heart looks in horror. She motions to exit the ring but Melissa grabs her by the hair and tosses her towards Samoa Joe. Joe applies in the Kokina Clutch on a terrified Kristal Heart. With Jon Angels out cold, referees and backstage crew members rush out to the ring to force Samoa Joe to break the hold as Kristal Heart screams in pain.

JR: What kind of vile creature is Samoa Joe? Francine: The kind that wants a title shot and prove he’s the best, that’s what. King: Poor Kristal…I hope she’s alright.

Later that same evening, Mariah catches up with ZX. She greets him with a kiss on cheek after showing him that she got her title back without hassle.

Mariah: Whatcha been up to all night? Havin’ fun without me? ZX: Oh tons…meeting with the GMs then a snack with Sable…ugh…she’s hitting on me almost as much as The Nasty Girls were that night when me and Steph announced the VWA Divas title. Mariah: Want me to kick her teeth down her throat? That always sends the competition running. ZX: Nah, I’ll just ignore her…you know I don’t feel ‘that’ way for her. Mariah: Okay…for now. If this gets out of hand, I won’t be just knocking Melissa’s teeth down her throat – I’ll be adding Sable to the list.

ZX smiles and nods before heading out the entrance curtain.

On the Thanksgiving VWA/Xplosion Special dubbed "Thank You to the Fans" (Nov. 27, 2008), Mariah defends her Vixen Championship against Cheerleader Melissa. Backstage, Mariah is shown pulling her leather chaps over her wide hips and doing a final check in the mirror prior to leaving for the ring. ZX gives two thumps up from the couch.

“Looking great to me. Good luck out there, babe. I’ll be cheering you on from here while I watch on the ‘tube.”

The couple shares a brief kiss before Mariah exits the room to head out to the ring. Shortly afterwards, Sable enters the room…

Meanwhile, the bell sounds to the start tonight’s Vixen Championship match. Both Vixens lock up with Melissa getting the upper hand by wrenching Mariah’s arm and striking her with a hard chop to the chest. Melissa wrenches the arm again and uses to get extra leverage in a backdrop on the Vixen Champion. With Mariah grounded, Melissa goes for the legs with an application of the Kondo Clutch (Inverted Cloverleaf) but doesn’t manage to keep the hold in long as Mariah makes a desperate leap for the bottom rope to force the hold to be broken.

Melissa backs off as referee Pamela Miller orders her to break the hold as Mariah hops to her feet and catches her breath. Melissa shoves Pamela aside as she strikes Mariah at the shins with several stiff kicks. Eventually, this continuous assault brings Mariah to her knees, but Melissa doesn’t let up in the least as she hooks Mariah’s leg for the upcoming fisherman suplex to the mat.

Pamela Miller makes the count but Mariah manages to roll her shoulder off the mat after a 2 count. Melissa argues with Pamela about that being a 3 count, before turning her attention back to Mariah. Mariah lifts herself from the mat with a handstand and sends Melissa to mat with a headscissor. Mariah limps a bit afterwards but leans on the corner post as she stomps her foot in preparation of the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Mariah stomps 5 times before closing in with the kick, Melissa ducks underneath but grabs Mariah by the wrists and positions her for a Kudo Driver (Gringo Killa/Vertebreaker). Out of desperation, Mariah shoves Melissa into the ropes and rolls her up into a school girl roll up.

Melissa powers out of the pin after a 2 count as Mariah stumbles to her feet. Melissa whips her towards the ropes and bends over for the rebound. Mariah kicks her in the face and delivers a Kiss the Carpet (Fame-Asser). Mariah follows up with a handspring splash but Melissa defends with her knees up as Mariah holds her abdomen in pain. Melissa pulls her up and into position for a complete shot but at the last second Mariah executes a uranage slam, which results with both women being down as referee Miller starts the double KO count.

Mariah and Melissa stagger to their feet after a 6 count. Mariah crashes into Melissa with a flying lariat and kip-ups as the crowd goes wild. Mariah stomps her foot in preparation for another Heartbreaker until a video appears on the monitor behind her.

The video shows Sable coming into her dressing room where ZX is watching her match and teasing undressing for him, even though ZX keeps looking around her gorgeous body and at the TV behind her. Mariah’s jaw hangs open but there’s nothing she do about that now and the fact that Melissa has a firm grasp of her hair from behind as she climbs up to the middle rope in the corner. Melissa capitalizes with a diving variation of her hair-pull curb stomp, causing Mariah’s body to go limp on impact. Melissa kicks Mariah over onto her back and covers her to take the win tonight by pinfall, becoming the new Vixen Champion.

Backstage, ZX shoves Sable aside to rush to the ring to check on Mariah’s condition. Luckily, the blow only knocked her momentarily unconscious. ZX helps her to her feet as Cheerleader Melissa celebrates her win as she walks up the entrance ramp.

At the Dead or Alive 2008 PPV (Nov. 30, 2008), Mariah was part of ZX's veterans Vixen & Divas team (Raven, Kirsten, Amanda, and Trish Stratus) to face D-Mob's rookie Divas & Vixens (Annerley Madison, Beth Phoenix, Lita, Chyna, and Sensational Mary). Backstage, Mariah is still fuming from the ears from what happened three days ago.

Mariah: I’m going to kill Sable the next time I see her. She cost me my title out there last week. Then she was back here trying to take you away from me. UGH!! Why do these little girls around here all want MY man!? ZX backs up a bit, before speaking, “Remember, I’m innocent in all this. I don’t ask for all of this attention I keep getting from the women around here. I didn’t think too much of the Nasty Girls trying to flirt with me on VWA that night I was on that show, but damn, this Sable thing is getting out of hand.” Mariah sighs before falling into his open arms for a comforting hug, “I know, it’s just that we’re so close to making it ‘official’ that I don’t want any of those girls to ruin what we have ya know?” ZX: “I know, I know. Don’t worry about it. I’m not going anywhere. Just keep focused on the task at hand, we’ve gotta make sure we shut D-Mob down tonight.” Mariah kisses ZX on the cheek before heading out to the ring. The scene fast forwards to the start of the match where the camera pans around the crowd as referee Pamela Miller prepares to ring the bell to start the match. Sable can be seen sitting behind JR, King, and Francine wearing one of ZX’s T-Shirts that are on sale on ZXWWF.com.

Mariah’s jaw drops in disbelief that Sable is out here again to meddle in her affairs. The bell sounds and all 10 women break out into a brawl with The Glamazon charging straight for the Wildfyre Vixen. Beth connects with a running shoulder block to the ring as the other Vixens and Divas brawl ringside. Sable laughs as Mariah hits the mat and Mariah immediately kip-ups to her feet. Mariah strikes back to the Glamazon with a flying lariat and turns to taunt Sable from the ring. Beth crawls to her feet as Mariah invites Sable to the ring but quickly spins back around to land a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Beth grabs Mariah’s foot, spins her around and lifts her up into the air with an elevated double chickenwing hold. Mariah briefly screams in pain before the Glamazon has mercy on her soul and finishes her off with a Glam Slam to the mat. Beth covers Mariah to take the pinfall and eliminate the “Wildfyre Vixen” first from this match as Sable is ecstatic with laughter at ringside.

Mariah’s teammates look in disbelief, but Raven and Kirsten crack up in laughter as Mariah is ushered backstage. Mariah doesn’t take this lightly as she argues with referee Pamela Miller about Sable’s presence in the audience. The New Breed Divas take Millers side but it’s Raven who blindsides Mariah with a Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) before rolling her body out of the ring. Amanda gets in Raven’s face before Miller breaks this up for they could continue this match. Beth tags out to Chyna as Kirsten is shoved over the ropes by her other two teammates to continue the match.

Kirsten works the match using her speed to her advantage as Chyna can’t keep up in the least. Kirsten springboards from the ropes with a diving hurracanrana, but the 9th Wonder of the World counters with a thunderous powerbomb to the mat. Chyna doesn’t release after the powerbomb and lifts Kirsten onto her shoulders and tosses her into the New Breed’s corner with a turnbuckle powerbomb. Chyna backs up and shows off her acrobatics with a handspring clothesline to the cornered Kirsten.

Chyna’s teammates choke Kirsten as Trish, Amanda, and Raven complain to the referee. Unknowingly to both teams, Delta crawls from underneath the ring and pulls down all of Chyna’s teammates from the ring apron. Chyna turns around, confused and into diving cross body pin from Kirsten leaping from the top rope. Raven and Amanda quit their efforts allowing Miller to see the pin attempt. Delta is close enough to the ring to not be seen putting Kirsten’s legs up on the middle rope for more leverage for the pin on Chyna. Chyna powers out at 3 but it’s too late as the odds are evened out.

At this point, Annerley is already sick of this match she didn’t even ask to even be part of. As Lita, Beth, and Mary climb back onto the ring apron, Annerley remains on the floor, clearly abandoning her teammates. Annerley passes the Veterans’ side of the ring but Amanda leaps off the ring apron with a diving side kick into the barricade.

Miller starts the ring out count as Annerley is the first member from the New Breed to take action after the elimination while Kirsten and Delta are being chased up the entrance ramp by Chyna. The former “Ladies of Extreme” run behind the curtain as Chyna follows behind them, with the sound of a chair shot being heard as they return back through the curtain holding steel chairs up in the air (obviously showing they took her out with a Con-Chair-to).

Miller takes the 10 count to eliminate both Annerley and Kirsten, both of which are nowhere close to the ring. Annerley laid amongst the crowd as Amanda stalks her in preparation for a Darkness Falls (Spear) but Sensational Mary snapmares Amanda over the barricade by the hair and rolls her back into the ring.

Ringside, Trish and Raven are arguing amongst themselves on who should be the next entry on the team but haven’t noticed that Mary made the choice for them. Mary applies a seated variation of a surfboard, she refers to this as the Stiletto (her high-heeled boot is being pushed into the spine of her opponent), to the Angel of Darkness. Lita prevents any interference from the bickering Raven and Trish by diving out of the ring with a suicide plancha.

Without any assistance, Amanda succumbs to Mary’s submission, the Hall of Faming Vixen proving that she still is scary in the ring. The match is down to Raven and Trish Stratus representing the veterans and Sensational Mary and Lita representing the new breed. Mary tags out Lita as she returns to the ring apron. Raven takes the ring, toe kicking Lita and dragging her across the ring with a running facebuster. Raven lines up the grounded Lita and charges in with a punt kick to the head of Lita. Lita drop toe holds Raven to the mat face-first. Rae stands up holding her head before Lita capitalizes with a swinging snap DDT. Lita covers Rae and eliminates her as Trish makes her move, stalking Lita.

After Raven is rolled out of the ring, Trish instantly leaps from the top rope with a diving variation of the Stratusfaction just as Lita returns to her feet. Mary merely fans herself with her signature cowgirl hat as Lita is pinned by Trish Stratus. Mary and Trish Stratus are the final two for both teams. Both women staring each other down while they feed on the anticipation of this epic encounter from the crowd around them.

Trish breaks the silence with a slap to Mary’s face and winds back in preparation of a Chick Kick. Mary ducks underneath the Chick Kick and counters with a Beauty Mask (Jumping Complete Shot). Mary bows and tosses her hat into the crowd before pinning Trish. Mary lifts Trish’s shoulder off the mat and shakes her head, signaling that she wants to insult Trish some more. Mary stalks Trish to wake up from the mat, and connects with a knee trembler to the face.

Mary doesn’t stop there. Mary pulls Trish back up by the hair, but Trish rakes Mary in the eyes to give herself a breather. That doesn’t last for long as Mary blindly grabs Trish by the hair once more and mat slams Trish to her feet. Trish staggers to her feet as Mary lines up another knee trembler. Mary closes in and eats a point blank Chick Kick as Trish was faking the injury from the last blow. Mary drops to mat and Trish covers Mary and takes the 3 count victory for the veterans tonight.

On the Post-PPV joint brand VWA/Xplosion special (Dec. 7, 2008), Mariah wasn't booked in action but appeared in part of "Cowboy" James Storm's Beer Bash celebration for his newly won ZXWWF Heavyweight Championship after cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Shia Storm at the end of the Dead or Alive PPV. Throughout the show, the rosters of both VWA and Xplosion have been invited to a nearby bar where James Storm is celebrating his ZXWWF Heavyweight Championship win in his own “special” way – by consuming as much beer as humanly possible. At this moment, Storm and Jacqueline are pretty drunk, as the roster members in attendance can tell after Jacqueline fell from standing on top of the bar after attempting to dance on it. Storm is wearing his beer-drinking helmet and invites everyone to drink more and party more.

Amanda Cortez, who is attendance, welcomes Storm’s idea and raises a bottle of vodka up in the air. Her sister, Mariah, walks into bar and drags Amanda out by the arm.

Mariah: Amanda! I can’t believe you’re here! You should be at home resting with that shoulder injury. I swear, you need to stop being so reckless. Amanda (voice slurring): Ok, Mom! I’m comin’ I’m comin’! But you know I hate my math homework.

Mariah shakes her head as she drags a drunk Amanda out of the bar until some beer is poured into her hair. Mariah turns around to see a smiling Sable. Mariah breaks a bottle across the side of the table but the bouncers kick her and Amanda out of bar before Mariah could take action. Mariah is kicking and screaming profanities as Sable waves good-bye.

A drunk Jacqueline and Storm can be heard in the background laughing, “Sorry ‘bout yo’ damn luck!”

Showstoppin' Senorita vs. The Weapon of Mass-Seduction -- Mariah vs. Sable

Next week on Xplosion (Dec. 12, 2008), Mariah faces Cheerleader Melissa in a rematch to hopefully regain the Vixen Championship. Cheerleader Melissa makes her way the ring, feeding off the chorus of boos from the audience as she walks with pride carrying the Vixen Championship over her shoulder. Mariah makes her way to the ring, accompanied by ZX, who is doing guest commentary on tonight’s title match.

JR: It’s a pleasure to have the ZXWWF founder himself out here with us tonight. ZX: Thanks, but really, I’m still the same as everyone else on the roster, I don’t want my relationships with my fellow roster to change in the least. I’m still the same guy before I made my role in company official. King: Well, if it means anything, you’ve been doing a great job running the company. ZX: At least someone thinks so, I do my best. Francine: Keep up the clean record or the fans will start chanting, “We’ve Cena Enough” here too. ZX: Don’t worry I’ll try to avoid that.

The match starts with both Vixens going straight to work. Melissa opens with a clothesline, but the challenger counters with an arm wrench and hook kick to the face. Mariah rolls Melissa over and tries to apply a STF but Melissa elbows her in the side of the head. Melissa turns the tables on Mariah with an application of an inverted Texas cloverleaf. Mariah reaches the ropes to break the hold shortly after Melissa locks it in.

Mariah staggers to her feet but manages to continue the assault on Melissa, greeting her to her feet with a leg-feed enzuigiri. That’s not enough to keep Melissa down as she springs up to her feet to knock down Mariah from closing in with a low dropkick. Mariah loses her momentum and falls forward and into a snapping fisherman suplex pin by the Vixen Champion. After a near-fall count of 2, Mariah manages to roll the shoulder off the mat.

King: I bet your heart skipped a beat right there, huh? ZX: I can’t lie on that, but I know what she’s capable of. I’ve been in that ring as her partner numerous times and I’ve also been against her as well. She’s no pushover. Francine: Unlike that loudmouth Justice, right? ZX: Hey you said that not me… JR: Francine, you must want a real kick from her later on tonight. Francine (shrugs): I’m not scared of Justice. I served on jury duty earlier this year.

Melissa hasn’t let go of Mariah in the fisherman suplex as Melissa executes a series of 2 more before standing her up for a final one. Mariah counters with a Charmbracelet (double wrist suplex pin). Melissa manages to forcefully kick out after a 2 count. Mariah strikes the champion with a diving lariat before rebounding from the ropes with a springboard hurracanrana. Again, Melissa proves why she’s the Most Dangerous Woman in Wrestling today and counters with a powerbomb pin as Sable makes her way to the announcer’s table.

Sable's revealing attire used to distract ZX at ringside during Mariah's championship opportunity.

Sable unties her robe to show off a very revealing lingerie as she models it in front of the commentary table.

King: JR, can’t we give her a championship? Francine: Last time I checked, she owns the Undisputed Whore of ZXWWF Championship. Even though there’s several girls who are in-line for number one contendership… JR: I have to admit she has a lot of championship material… ZX: What material? She’s wearing next to nothing…

After that comment by the ZXWWF founder, Sable stops in front of him and leans over the table, planting a kiss on his lips. Sable pulls him closer as he resists but Sable’s advances are halted by Mariah making a suicide dive out of the ring and into Sable. Mariah claws away at Sable before Melissa grabs a handful of hair and snapmares Mariah into the steel steps, clearly sending the message that she hasn’t forgotten about her. Melissa proceeds to position her for a curb stomp on the steel steps but ZX throws in the towel to end this match, allowing Melissa to retain by default.

Cheerleader Melissa merely smiles at ZX tending to Mariah lying at ringside while Sable hands Melissa the Vixen Championship, snatching it from her hands.

On the December 19, 2008 edition of Xplosion, Mariah greets ZX backstage after he returns backstage with a kiss on the lips.

Mariah: I swear…I’m going to kill that bitch Sable when I FINALLY get my hands on her in the ring. You just don’t know how badly I want this.

ZX: Don’t let her get to you. She’s been in your head all month, screwing with you.

Mariah: Correction, she’s been trying to screw YOU. That’s what pisses me off.

ZX: You know I don’t have feelings for her so I don’t see why you’re so fixated on this. It’s not like she’s the first one to try to seduce me.

Mariah (sighs and groans): Between the obsessed fans and desperate new girls hoping for a push or a title shot, you tend to get a taste of everything…I know you don’t like them, but Sable’s different – she’s got a track record of stealing men away from their girlfriends.

ZX (holds her hand and kisses it): Well she won’t be forcing me to leave my fiancée, so don’t worry. Don’t forget to call your Mom about us coming for Christmas after the VWA show on Tuesday after we pick up Amanda from the hospital.

Mariah (blushing slightly as she looks at her engagement ring): Alright, alright…I’ll try to keep a level head. I’ll give Mom a call – I dunno why Amanda went back to the hospital, she said she felt fine about that dislocated shoulder. Don’t forget you promised to help me shop for something nice for her and Amberz this weekend.

ZX (shudders): Give me a 3 on 1 handicap match against the entire Cabinet before I go shopping with you again…you had me carrying all of your bags while you were trying on any and everything! (Mariah does a sad puppy dog face and ZX sighs) Okay, okay, just stop doing ‘the face.’ I have a few more things to take care of before our match tonight. I’ll see ya later ok?

ZX and Mariah share another kiss before Mariah nods and goes down the hall to her dressing room while talking to her mother on her cellphone in Spanish.

Later that evening, the team of ZX and Mariah face D-Mob and Sable in a tag team match. fter the commercial break, Mariah makes her way down to the ring and awaits for ZX at the bottom of the entrance ramp while D-Mob stands in the ring. D-Mob points at the monitor to show the image of ZX being attacked in his dressing room by the High Rollers (Abyss, Triple H, and Edge) and the Unholy Cabinet’s own Nemesis. Nemesis tosses the unconscious ZX into a limo and slams the door shut.

Just as Mariah is about to turn away from the monitor, the camera shows the limo leaving the arena, then quickly switching to another camera inside the limo, showing ZX’s head dropping into a woman’s lap – notably’s Sable’s lip, as the camera scrolls up to her smiling face.

Sable: Sorry, Mariah, I couldn’t attend the show tonight. I seem to get a lot of things tossed into my lap lately that I must take care of. Debra may have her DTA for hire to deal with emergencies, but I suggest you invest in some “Oops” Insurance like D-Mob did tonight.

Mariah looks confused as Big Daddy G and Dequan collide into her from two different angles (Sweet & Sour) and roll her into the ring for D-Mob to quickly pick up the win with a powerbomb pin.

JR: There you have it, folks. D-Mob hits the exclamation point going into the Devils May Cry PPV. King: Boy, I wish I was in ZX’s shoes – minus the beatdown of course! Francine: You being in Sable’s lap would prolly give her diseases that doesn’t even have yet. In all seriousness though, someone better tell Mariah to watch that temper of hers or she’s going to lose something worse than her boyfriend around here.

At the Devils May Cry 2008 PPV, ZX (accompanied by Mariah) faced D-Mob (accompanied by Sable) in a Lumberjack match. Before the match, Amberz and Mariah are backstage. Amberz is trying to pump her oldest sister up for her match against Sable.

Mariah is already angry but attempting to remain calm as her temper has cost her to lost the Vixen title and allow ZX to be assaulted by the Rollers and Cabinet during last week's Xplosion show.

"Amber, I just don't understand why she's doing this..."

Amber: Look sis, getting to the point. The bitch wants to be like you. You put fire on the map, and her old ugly ass just wants to up herself and get some fame while she can.

Amber smiles, "Look if I was you and she was trying to touch all over my man i would of copped his dick off put it in a box, roll to that bitch's house, and when she opens the door take it out and beat the shit out of her with it. Real talk sis you should of handled that cabron a while ago.

Mariah's eyes widen at Amberz strong language and harsh words. "Since when did you get such a fool mouth!? I think you've been hanging around with Amanda too long. *grins* But you're right, Sable is just jealous at everything I've done in my career here. Hall of Fame time is around the corner and she has nothing on to her name to earn her a spot. I'm gonna make sure I get some sweet revenge tonight even though I'm on the sidelines watching my man take out D-Mob."

Amber smiles "Well what can i saw she's cool to be around. However I hope I get to induct you into it." She grins as rubs against her sisters shoulder, "Now I wanna have some fun tonight. Seeing as to how you forced me into a very early may I add retirement. Let me join you at ringside tonight. Show my fans I'm still around."

Mariah thinks about it for a moment and nods in agreement, "Okay, you've sat on the sidelines for long enough and tonight's match is a lumberjack match after all and this is giving season. I say the more the merrier!"

Amber jumps up in excitement, "Yay, sis!" She starts cheesing,"I have to pick something to wear! As you we no how to throw down when it comes to looking fly!"

Mariah smiles, "Well since you've been away for so long you've better show your fans the 'goods' and remind them why they are your fans!"

Amber starts to laugh at her sisters comment, "Ill give it go I was thinking about wearing something that makes e look more bitchy lolz. My black puffy Rocaware jacket with the fur trimmed hood with that whit ed hardy shirt I had gotten in Cali the one with the cuts and slits, a pair of black skinny jeans and my all White Snow boots with the black and wite dior shades. what do you think?"

"A bit much don'tcha think? But I love it! C'mon you've always loved making the boys' jaws go to the floor so tonight shouldn't be an exception."

Amber spins in a circle, "Even in a tall white T she aint nothing like me. What are you gonna where?

"My gold and black wrestling gear of course. I do have another one I've been meaning to try out though..."

"OMG you better!" *Imitating Angelina Love's monotone voice from promos* You wear that depressing gold thang so much" Amber starts to laugh.

A different attire Mariah selects for this PPV event.

Mariah perks a brow and goes back into the closet and walks out modeling this outfit.

Amber's jaw drops "Hey you swagger Jacker you trying to jump fresh all of a sudden". She walks around Mariah poking at her butt "Now thats hot!"

Mariah poses for Amberz, "I know I'm hot that's an understatement. I was saving this number for just the right occasion and I think it's a nice way to bring in the New Year don'tcha think?"

Amber smiles, "Yes, now were like almost matching!! Now we should do something about Amanda.." *Baby doll by Girlicious can be heard. Its Ambers Side kick, She answers it and then hangs up*, "Anywhoozerz."

Mariah looks confused, "I guess that wasn't important huh?" Mariah laughs at the suggestion to give Amanda a makeover. "I think she would stab us if we forced her into that again."

"See with Amanda, all you have to do is tickle her she'll say mercy in a ht sec"

Mariah laughs, "I wish I knew that when I had to wrestle her!"

"Its the funniest thing ever she rolls over and dies o dios mios."

Amber looks at the time* "Sis Ill see you later that was my bud, wants me to come help move some things around" She hugs Mariah, "If you see Amanda tell I said hi and that we need to talk k? Te Queiro big sis see you later."

Mariah hugs Amberz back tightly, "Gustame mucho lil sis and I want you to get out of there if it gets to dangerous. I don't want you getting hurt again. We've already got Amanda loving to get hurt for a living. Mom's already pissed at me for that."

Amber nods smiling, picks up her back and heads out the door.

D-Mob, accompanied by Sable and his personal choices for lumberjacks - Unholy Cabinet (Big Daddy G, Nemesis, Dequan) High Rollers (Chris Jericho, Edge, Ashley Massaro, Tina Angel), Chyna, Sensational Mary, made their way to the ring first. ZX, accompanied by Mariah along with Amberz, T-Bone, Matt, The Big Show, and SuperAmazing X (Amazing Red, Super Crazy, and Jay Lethal).

The bell sounds to start the match and it's an all out war inside and outside of the ring. ZX and D-Mob exchanging blows left and right while D-Mob's New Breed wage war with the ZX's hand-picked companions for tonight's match up.

ZX gets the upperhand on the former ZXWWF Chairman and wrenches the arm but doesn't let go as he leaps to the top rope and springboards from the ropes with an arm drag, sending D-Mob to taste the mat to chorus of cheers from the crowd. ZX keeps up the offensive, delivering a senton to the spine of D-Mob and takes to the skys again, following up with The Madness (Diving Elbow Drop). ZX covers D-Mob for the pin but he quickly powers out of the attempt, sending the ZXWWF Founder outside to be greeted by D-Mob's lumberjacks.

The Unholy Cabinet and High Rollers waste no time stomping a mudhole into the ZXWWF Founder. Sable orders the Cabinet to finish off ZX as Dequan obliges by lining up a Goregasm (The Gore). ZX rolls out of the way in time, but Dequan manages to connect with the full force into T-Bone, knocking him out of his shoes, literally.

ZX rolls back underneath the ropes to catch his breath in the ring. In the ring with D-Mob that wasn't happening as D-Mob welcomes ZX with a punt kick to the face. D-Mob's assault doesn't stop there as he lifts ZX overhead with a powerbomb to the mat, before lifting him up again with another powerbomb into the corner and a final across the ring, sending the ZXWWF Founder coast to coast. D-Mob goes for the pin but Mariah places ZX's foot on the bottom rope to make the referee stop counting.

Sable walks over to Mariah and slaps her across the face with a stiff hand. Mariah laughs it off and grabs Sable by the throat as she chokes her down to the floor. Chyna and Sensational Mary come to her aid but Amberz runs across the barricade (Jeff Hardy style) and into the 9th Wonder of the World with a body splash. Sensational Mary turns around in confusion at how Amberz' feet only to turn around to face the incoming Spear from the returning Amanda Cortez. The force of the spear sends Amanda and Mary crashing through the nearby barricade wall as the fans go wild. Amanda grabs one of the fans' beers, takes a sip before pouring it all over the downed Mary to the crowd's delight. By now, Mariah has managed to claw and tear away at Sable and manages to tear off her skirt off as she flees up the entrance ramp.

The Big Show plays defense, delivering headbutts to all of the Unholy Cabinet members while SuperAmazing X battle with the Rollers up the entrance ramp. D-Mob pulls ZX to his feet for another vicious assault but the Fighting Dreamer breaks free with a European uppercut to the jaw. D-Mob holds onto ZX's wrist and whips him into the nearby corner but ZX comes crashing down with The Freakazoid (Whisper in the Wind). D-Mob manages to catch ZX mid-air with a sit-down powerbomb. The Fighting Dreamer manages to get the shoulder up after the 2 count.

D-Mob gives the cutthroat motion and positions him into a position for a powerbomb. D-Mob lifts him up and into position but ZX hurracanranas D-Mob to the mat, and delivers a toe kick before executing the Back To The Future Part 5 (Backbreaker/Flip Bottom Combination) on the former ZXWWF Chairman. Mariah raises ZX's legs on the middle rope to add to insult as ZX picks up the win tonight.

On the first Xplosion show for 2009 (Jan. 9, 2009), Mariah teams up with her younger sisters, Amanda Cortez and the returning Amberz against Chyna, Sable, and Sensational Mary. The first episode of Xplosion for 2009 begins with all 6 women in the ring, ready to start this contest. Amanda and Sensational Mary are about to start the match when Sensational Mary asks for a microphone.

Mary: “I just can’t believe that you would just sneak up behind me and pour your cheap trailer-trash beer on someone so gorgeous, so glamorous… I don’t have to lower myself and fight a greasy chicken-eating loser like you Amanda. I’m a legend in this business and I don’t have to answer to ANYONE. Not you, Jonathan Magnum, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, nor anyone in ZXWWF deserved to touch me. Let’s face it folks, a touch of Mary is all what your lives need to make it glamorous. And sorry, I’m not sharing in 2009. That’s why I’ve taken it onto myself to find a suitable replacement for my teammates in this match. I’m sure Stephanie McMahon wouldn’t mind me “borrowing” one of her precious VWA Divas…”

MsChif arrives in ZXWWF.

Amanda has had enough of Mary’s talking and motions to punch her but only manages to knock Mary’s hat off. Mary looks at it on the mat while Amanda laughs. Mary dusts it off and joins her in laughter and points at the newcomer MsChif standing behind her. Amanda turns around into MsChif spearing her to the mat and striking her repeatedly to Mary’s delight as she exits the ring to watch from ringside as this match formally goes underway. MsChif chokes Amanda as she sits on top of her chest, repeatedly smashing the back of her head onto the canvas. Referee Pamela Miller breaks it up as MsChif screams in her face in disapproval. MsChif stomps Amanda in the gut before pulling her to her feet then back to the mat with a Russian leg sweep as Amberz and Mariah keep the crowd pumped for Amanda. Amanda tries to crawl towards her team’s corner but MsChif knocks both Amberz and Mariah off the apron while Chyna and Sable drag Amanda towards their corner.

Mariah and Amberz argue with Referee Miller as MsChif chokes Amanda on the middle rope while her teammates allow Mary to walk on the ring apron and deliver a running knee lift to the face of the perched Amanda. MsChif releases the knee from the back of Amanda’s neck and covers her, but only gets a 2 count. Again, MsChif screams at the referee out of frustration before dragging Amanda to her feet. MsChif slaps her across the face with a series of strikes before ending with a spinning backfist. Amanda ducks the blow and counters with a tiger suplex pin (one of Mariah’s signature moves).

Mariah and Amberz applaud Amanda’s efforts but she only gets a near-fall as Chyna breaks the pin. Both women attempt to stand but Amanda is first to make a successful tag out to Mariah, while MsChif tags out to Sable. Mariah looks around to the crowd in satisfaction as Sable watches her teammates step down from the ring apron for Sable to face her one on one. Immediately, Sable tries to make a run for it but Mariah grabs her by the hair and into a gutbuster onto her knee. To the crowd’s delight, Mariah bends Sable over on her knee and spanks her repeatedly for tormenting her for the past few weeks before positioning her on her shoulders in a fireman carry position. Sable skirms on Mariah’s shoulders to get free as Mariah looks around the crowd, feeding off their reaction of Sable finally getting what she deserved. Sable shakes her head as Mariah drops her in front of her on her feet and knees her the face without hesitation (new signature “Thanx for Nothin’” AKA Go 2 Sleep, KENTA’s version). Sable laid out cold in the middle of the ring but once against MsChif and Chyna foil the pin attempt.

Sable scurries over and tags out to Chyna while Mariah watches the incoming “9th Wonder of the World” charging straight for her. Amanda sneaks in with a Spear to Chyna while Mariah takes to the corner and begins stomping in preparation for a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) as the 9th Wonder doesn’t stay down from the Spear. Mariah connects but she’s blinded by green mist from MsChif from the ring apron. Amanda dives through the ropes and brawls with MsChif on the floor.

Mariah stumbles around the ring, still blinded by the green mist and Amberz tags herself in as Chyna isn’t finished yet. She slingshots herself into the ring with an Ambercanrana (Springboard Hurracanrana Pin) onto the shoulders of the reeling “9th Wonder of the World” but Chyna counters with a sit-down powerbomb. Mariah is still blinded by the mist while Amanda and MsChif catfight on the floor, Chyna picks up the win tonight.

After the match, Sable grabs the blinded Mariah by her violet hair and slams her to the mat with a Sablebomb, laying her out next to Amberz. Ringside, MsChif tosses Amanda hard into the steel steps, leaving her lying against it before Mary finishes her off with shining wizard into the steel. MsChif screams in approval at the destruction all of around them – in and outside of the ring – as Sensational Mary tips her hat to the crowd to a chorus of boos as she leads Chyna and MsChif to the locker room.

thumb|242px|right|ZX and Mariah impersonating D-Mob and SableLater that evening after the commercial break, Sable’s Titantron appears on the monitor as the crowd expects to see ZXWWF’s Weapon of Mass-Seduction for the second time here tonight on this program, but instead of Sable, ZXWWF’s audience is treated to the image of Mariah and ZX, dressed up like Sable and D-Mob.

ZX mocks D-Mob’s power stride to the ring while Mariah dances to the ring. Their antics cause a chorus of laughter from the live audience as they walk down to the ring.

Mariah: “What’s wrong, D-Mob? You look sad. Do you need a grind?”

ZX shakes his head, “Nah, I’m good. I’m still cleaning the cobwebs and rust stains from the last time. You know you should get a tune up after every 3,000 rubbers you burn.”

Mariah: “I know but I always end up sleeping with my doctors!”

ZX shakes his head again, clearing fighting the urge to laugh at their antics, “Enough of about that, I’m upset about what happened at the Devils May Cry PPV. Let’s go over all the bad things that happened to the New Breed, shall we? First, Edge loses his chance at the VWA title and John Morrison loses his chance at the Gen-NeXt Division title.”

Mariah looking sad, “Shame, shame. I guess Morrison would have to go back to the Palace of Wisdom without a new shiny toy to play with. By the way, someone needs to tell that Justice gal that you’re the leader of the NEW BREED not the veterans.”

ZX: “Don’t correct her, she’s having one of those ‘blonde moments’ you blonde get. Besides, Morrison will be alright, he’ll just go back to playing with himself – as usual.”

ZX pauses for a moment and cocks his head to the side, “BE JEALOUS!”

The crowd erupts into laughter as ZX continues. “I can’t believe Michaela was robbed out of the VWA Divas Championship by Shantelle Taylor.”

Mariah mocks Michaela by whipping her hair and spinning it around like she was in a rock band until her blonde wig is about to come off, “Oh my god, like totally. That was SOO like her win.”

ZX: “I know, I know, but the thing that has me more upset than Jericho whining like baby about being screwed over the title –“

Mariah interrupts, “Screwed? He and the rest of the Rollers should be used to that by now. Ashley gives enough ‘luck’ for the entire group. Oohh…nevermind you were talking about the title match… Well, same difference.”

ZX chuckles before continuing, “The thing that upsets me about that PPV was that ZX and Mariah beating us fair and square in the middle of that ring. It leaves me with absolutely NOTHING to complain about or try to hold to the last ounce of control I have in this company. Sable-dear, did you manage to pick up your dentures off the floor after Mariah kicked your teeth in? And why do you keep messing with that ZX so much, I know he’s sure is a snappy dresser and that Mariah isn’t bad herself.”

Mariah curls her fake blonde hair around her finger with an absent-minded look on her face, “Well, I have a reputation to keep up around here as a role model to all of the girls who think they can get to the top by just worshipping the ground he walks on. I mean really, I’m sure I’ll be ZXWWF Heavyweight Champion if I manage to sleep with him. Sorry, girls, but I’m getting my title shot first you’ll have to wait in line.”

The real D-Mob and Sable (wearing a “Sex Sells” T-Shirt as she stands behind D-Mob) appear on the monitor.

D-Mob: “Okay, I’ve seen enough of this crap. You people can laugh all you want but we’ll see who’s laughing when your heroes are lying out cold in a puddle of your own blood when my New Breed is reborn in 2009. So keep your little childish jokes, but I’m making sure the New Breed headlines ZXWWF ‘Mania IV instead of your washed out Veterans.”

ZX looks towards the cameramen, “Umm, control room can you turn that feed off? We got an asshole onscreen that no one doesn’t give a damn about what he has to say.”

With that, the feed is cut off on the monitor as the crowd bursts into laughter as Xplosion takes the last commercial break of the night before the main event.

On the VWA/Xplosion Special (December 16, 2009), Mariah participated in the Divas/Vixens' Riot Preview for Riot Control. Mariah goes after Angel and clips her knee from behind sending her to a kneeling position. Mariah runs the ropes and comes back at Angel with an enzuigiri, at the same time that Kirsten hits Angel with the same move from behind. Kirsten and Mariah ignore the fact that they just helped one another, as Mariah rushes forward towards Angel Storm, who is back up to a vertical base. Mariah finds herself being picked up and being lifted onto her shoulders in a Military Press Slam type hold, before Angel does just that and tosses Mariah over the top rope and down to the ground. This leaves Angel open to be double teamed by MsChif and Kirsten, who work together by grabbing a leg of Angel Storm each and dumping her over the top rope to eliminate her quickly. As soom as Angel's taken out, Kirsten and MsChif forget their temporary teamwork and go after one another, much to the enjoyment of Amanda, who stood back and watched the two with their exchange. MsChif and Kirsten stop upon noticing that and MsChif steps forward and slaps Amanda. Amanda retaliates with one of her own and the continue to take it in turns taking shots on the other.

Kirsten runs in with wild shots to both of them, but Amanda and MsChif kick her aside and Kirsten rolls under the bottom rope and to the outside, but is not yet eliminated. As Amanda spears MsChif to the ground, she stands slightly above her and lays several hard forearm shots to her side of her head. Kirsten hops back up to the ring as Amanda grabs MsChif by her hair and prepares to ram her into Kirsten, but Kirsten leap frogs over the incoming MsChif, where MsChif's own momentum manages to send her over the top rope to eliminate herself. Kirsten and Amanda look at one another and both take some time to catch their breath again before meeting in the middle of the ring by locking up. Amanda powers Kirsten down and wraps her legs around her neck but Kirsten springs out of the move and back up to her feet. Kirsten Irish Whips Amanda and as Amanda rebounds off the ropes and out of nowhere, Kirsten hits her with the Diva Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer). Even before Amanda can fall back, Kirsten hits her square in the jaw with a superkick, which sends Amanda tumbling over the top rope, for Kirsten to pick up the win.

At Riot Control 2009 PPV (Feb.1, 2009), she was part of the Divas/Vixen Riot match. She entered at #19 but was quickly eliminated by the "Black Widow" Victoria.

The Cruz Sisters vs. Sensational Mary, Chyna, and MsChif

On the March 3, 2009 edition of Xplosion, Mariah teams up with her sisters, Amanda and Amberz to take on Chyna in a 3 on 1 Handicap Match. Carla opens tonight’s show with some interesting news, informing the roster that Sensational Mary and MsChif are barred from the building tonight without pay for the torture of Amanda for past few weeks. So this gives Amanda and her sisters at taste of payback tonight.

Amberz starts off attempting to take the 9th Wonder of the World down, but Chyna simply shrugs off her early attempts. As Amberz leaps up and lays into Chyna with a few forearm shots, Chyna pushes her away. Amberz doesn't give up as she tries it again, but once more is shoved back into the corner. As Amberz regains her composure, she just slaps Chyna hard round the face, which sends a shocked Chyna back. Amberz then tags out to Amanda, who greets Chyna with a missile dropkick off the top turnbuckle. Chyna manages to stay at a vertical base as she latches onto the top rope for support but Amanda continues on the attack with several kicks to the back of her leg. Chyna eventually falls to one knee as Amanda makes the quick tag into Mariah.

Amanda and Mariah then work together to take Chyna down properly via double clothesline. Mariah stays on her for the cover but Chyna throws her off with ease. Eventually Amanda and Amberz join Mariah in the ring and the three all circle Chyna. As Chyna takes a wild swing at them and misses, Amberz and Mariah grabs the arms of Chyna and holds her up as Amanda takes to the top turnbuckle with a crossbody. All three then sit on top of Chyna to hold her down for the three count and the win.

Mariah isn’t done after the match, stomping her foot in the corner in preparation for a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Amberz and Amanda get the idea and hold Chyna in place with a steel chair placed on her face. Mariah delivers the kick to leave Chyna with a bloodied nose after having the chair driven into her face.

On the joint-brand VWA/Xplosion Special (March 20, 2009), Mariah participated in a special over the top rope battle royal to decide the retiring Shia Storm's last opponent that will face him at ZXWWF 'Mania IV. The cameras return from commercial break with the match already in progress. Chyna and Mariah eliminate themselves over the top after Sensational Mary pulls the rope down, Mariah hooks her legs around Chyna’s neck and takes her out of the ring with her in a hurracanrana.

Batista powers Dean Maddoxxx to the mat with a spinebuster then shakes the ropes in preparation of a Batista Bomb. Or so he thought, Morrison takes out Batista from behind with a springboard enzuigiri. Morrison doesn’t waste time and goes to the top rope to capitalize on the fallen Parental Warning but Justice shoves him off and out to ringside – leaving herself and Maddoxxx as the final two

Gabe walks out to the top of the entrance ramp as Justice stalks the Parental Warning for the Hand of Justice. Justice’s eyes widen as she turns towards the ramp and shouts, “I don’t need you! I can do this on my own!”

Maddoxxx takes the opportunity and tosses her over the top rope, winning the contest. Looks like someone should warn Shia Storm what he’s up against at ZXWWF ‘Mania IV!

On the VWA/Xplosion Special (April 3, 2009), the show opens inside of the locker room of Mariah and Amanda. Mariah stretches her legs across the nearby bench as Amanda finishes taping her wrists before their opening match tonight on Xplosion. Mariah rotates some of the tension out of her shoulder as she breaks the silence between them. "You know, I'm really surprised that you would want to do my induction speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony. Z was getting worried that he would have to do mine, Terri's and T-Bone's. I mean...I'm just so shocked you know...after how badly I treated you when we first met and the past few years...I just didn't think you would be willing to do something like that for me already. I thought you would have needed more time to forgive me for all that I've done wrong."

Amanda sits there on a bench right near to Mariah. She is already ready for her match and now she smokes a last cigarette. She watches her sister stretching and getting ready and then she hears what she has to say. For a moment she is a bit surprised, but then she smiles warmly.

~Amanda~ Nah ..I don't need more time to forgive ya. I'm so happy that I found my family and I'm proud to introduce you. And I think it was mostly my fault at the beginning here ..I was awfully bitchy and neurotic, but now it's over. Oh ..and I think we are such a great team.

She smiles again at her sister.

~Amanda~ And you can't imagine how happy I am that I will be the one who talks to you, even though I think ZX is better with making speeches than me, but I'm gonna try my best. That will be a fuckin’ great moment

Mariah's eyes moisten a bit with tears as she springs towards Amanda with a tight hug. "I promise that me and Amber are going to be the best family you could ever dream of. We won't let you face everything alone anymore. You have us. And don't apologize so much, I was the one who was wrong about you..."

She pauses for a moment and wipes away some of the tears of happiness, "Yeah, Z is good at speeches but I think he's more qualified for T-Bone's induction than anyone. (laughs) I'm glad Amberz isn't doing my induction as she would just get Mom to show slides from our childhood, just to get a laugh at me before I blossomed into the woman I am today."

Amanda smiles happily as Mariah hugs her. For a moment she leans her head against her shoulder, but then she looks up again.

~Amanda~ Oh ..but I'm sure that slides would be so cute ...

Now she throws her cigarette away and looks at Mariah. It feels really great to have someone here.

~Amanda~ But I think now you are great too and I'm really proud to be with you in the ring. Haha ...we show them who we are. Yes. Oh and I know that you care for me. It was such a great feeling that I got freed by you and Amberz after MsChif did all that crap to me

”Your family is here for you now, you're never alone. And tonight we're going to make them pay for that. You ready?"

~Amanda~ Yeah ..they will pay ..

But then she looks at Mariah again. She tucks up her legs and hugs them.

~Amanda~ I want them pay, but no sadism anymore ...I mean they shall lose and get humiliated, but I won't freak out anymore like earlier ...I learned some things during the time they hold me captive and it changed me a bit.

She smiles a bit.

~Amanda~ But that doesn't mean that I'm less dangerous in the ring. Haha and now lets go and kick some asses.

She stands up and takes Mariah by her hand.

"Let's do it sis."

Later that evening, Amanda and Mariah (w/ Amberz) face Chyna and MsChif (w/ Sensational Mary). Amanda starts the match off against MsChif, who greets her with her signature primal scream. Amanda wrenches MsChif’s arm with a hard snap, which allows her to follow up with a side headlock. MsChif bites on Amanda’s arm to free herself but Referee Pamela Miller makes the illegal move count to 3 before MsChif quits gnawing at Amanda’s tattoo-covered arm. Amanda holds her arm for a moment to stave off the pain, but MsChif finds another body part to target by attacking her knee with stiff kick that causes Amanda to fall on her back. MsChif rebounds off the ropes with a double knee drop to the lungs of Amanda before hooking her legs into a pin.

Mariah breaks the pin with a stomp to MsChif’s back. Chyna gets in Mariah’s face, but the former Vixen Champion holds her ground without fear in her eyes. Chyna shoves her back across the ring. Mariah kips-up to her feet and rushes back towards Chyna but Pamela Miller stands in-between them and ushers them back to their respective corners.

Amanda crawls towards her corner but MsChif grabs her thigh but Amberz trips her up from ringside during the confusion between Chyna and Mariah. This allows Amanda to capitalize with a Darkness Falls (Stunner) on MsChif and dive towards the corner and tag out to Mariah. Sensational Mary grabs a handful of Amberz’ hair and drives her into the barricade with a hair-pull snapmare before shoving her head first into the steel steps.

MsChif stumbles over and tags in Chyna after the Stunner and the two Vixens square off. Mariah and Chyna exchange blows until Mariah whips the 9th Wonder of the World into the corner and charges in with a handspring body splash. Chyna catches her mid-air and military presses the Wildfyre Vixen overhead. Chyna walks around the ring with Mariah in tow, but Amanda holds on to Mariah’s legs from the ring apron. This gives Mariah enough leverage to teeter Chyna backwards and into a cross body pin as Mariah falls on top of Chyna’s chest.

Pamela Miller makes the count as Amanda delivers a Lou Thesz press to the incoming MsChif, but Mary breaks the pin by pulling Mariah off Chyna and with her at ringside. A kick to Mary’s knee makes that trip ringside short-lived and slides back into the ring underneath the ropes. Amanda and MsChif catfight at ringside as Mariah evades an incoming clothesline from Chyna waiting to greet the Wildfyre Vixen back into the ring. Mariah rebounds from the ropes and returns the favor in the form of a Kiss the Carpet (Fame-Asser).

Mariah stomps her foot in preparation for a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) but Mary trips her up, causing her to fall on her face. Mary slides into the ring and lines up Mariah’s head as she crawls on all-fours in preparation for a Beauty Mark (Punt Kick). Mary motions for the kill but Amanda connects with a Fade to Black (Spear). Chyna kicks Mariah in the side and goes to pin her, but Mariah capitalizes with a possum pin to pick up the win tonight.

After the match, security has to separate Sensational Mary and MsChif from Amanda and Mariah, as the Vixens still want a piece of the other. Xplosion Co-General Manager Anesthesia lays down the law and takes control of the situation.

On the last pre-'Mania VWA/Xplosion joint-show (April 17, 2009), Mariah was part of a 5 on 5, 10 Diva Tag Team Match, pitting The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky), Sensational Mary, Chyna, and MsChif against Ultimate Stratusfaction (Trish Stratus & Raven), Amberz, Amanda, and Mariah. The first match of the night kicks off with a brawl between all 10 women, until Referee Pamela Miller breaks it up and forces one member from each team to start the match. Velvet Sky and Raven are first to start the match. Sky charges blindly at Rae, allowing her to easily counter with a Samoan Drop. Raven stalks Velvet Sky for an early Bitch Kick attempt afterwards but Angelina Love hinders this by grabbing a handful of Raven’s hair. Velvet Sky tags Love in and holds Raven in place for the incoming Bicycle Kick from Love. Love covers Rae but Trish breaks up the pin.

Angelina Love gets in Trish’s face until she’s shoved back and over Raven who’s down on all fours. Rae takes the opportunity to tag out to Mariah who greets Angelina with a Heartbreaker on arrival. Chyna delivers a chokeslam on Mariah from the ring apron which allows Mary to tag herself in. Sensational Mary lines it up and goes for the Eyeliner (Punt Kick…yeah new name since Beauty Mark was recently taken by TNA). Mariah rolls out of the way and tags out to Amanda while Mary tags out to MsChif.

Amanda greets MsChif with a Lou Thesz press, followed by a several punches to the skull. Afterwards, Amanda stalks MsChif for the Fade to Black (Spear) but MsChif moves out of the way, allowing Amanda to ram herself shoulder first into the ring post. MsChif takes advantage of the disoriented Amanda and hits a Desecrator and goes for the pinfall.

Mariah breaks the cover attempt, which causes all of the team members on the apron to get involved in the ringa Ultimate Stratusfaction and Mariah send The Beautiful People and Sensational Mary over the ropes and dive out in pursuit. During the confusion, Amanda tags out to Amberz who greets MsChif with a tornado DDT. MsChif motions groggily to her feet as Amberz slingshots herself from the ropes with an Ambercanrana (Springboard Hurracana into victory roll up), but Chyna makes the blind tag and catches her mid-air, only to counter with powerbomb pin. Amber rushes to her younger sister’s aid but she’s tripped up with a drop toe hold by MsChif and locked into a Gates to Hell II (leg hook seated chinlock), forcing Amanda to watch Chyna gain the victory tonight.

The ring bell signaling the end of the match doesn’t stop the feuding Ultimate Stratusfaction and The Beautiful People as it takes several other Divas and Vixens from the locker room to break up their catfight.

At ZXWWF 'Mania IV (April 19, 2009), the Cruz Sisters (Mariah, Amanda, Amberz) face against MsChif, Chyna, and Sensational Mary in 3 on 3 Elimination Tag Team Table Match. It becomes dark in the arena and a spotlight appears. Mariah, Ambertz and Amada come down to the stage, waving at the fans. They make their way down to the ring and slide insides. There Amanda takes a mic and waits till the fans calm down.

~Amanda~ Ok ladies and gentlemen, tonight you will see the end of tis never ending feud here. I had planed to take my revenge for getting tortured by these bitches and get them back for all the things they did to me, but I changed my mind. They aren't worth my time and I have better things to do than to waste my time with these sluts. This here will be the last match against them and we will try to make it a fair match. We will show them that we are the better team and they will get the beating up of their lives. But the worst thing for them will be that they will see how crappy their performances are and that they won't have any chance against us. This humiliation will be worse than any beating up. Haha ...I will show you all what a real Goddess can do in the ring.

With this she drops the micro and walks over to her corner where her sisters are already waiting for her.

The match starts off with all women brawling inside and outside of the ring. Sensational Mary and Amanda fight by the ringside barricade, with Amanda getting a few shots in before Mary delivers an elbow to the gut and drops her onto the ringside barricade. Inside the ring, Mariah and Amberz level MsChif with a double team flying lariat but they leveled themselves when they attempt that same maneuver on the 9th Wonder of the World. Amberz doesn’t give up as she steps outside of the ring onto the ring apron and slingshots herself from the ropes. MsChif kills her execution on the spot with a spinning back fist that causes Amberz to stumble back onto the ring apron. MsChif quickly capitalizes with a rolling powerbomb outside of the ring after leaping over the ropes and Amberz’ prone body and drives Amberz through the table first to get her team already ahead in this match up.

Mariah and Amanda look towards the broken remains in shock with Amberz’ disposal so quickly in this match as MsChif gives out a primal scream in delight. Amanda tries to make a break towards the ring, but Mary grabs a handful of her hair to hold her in place. That doesn’t stop Amanda from executing an inverted jawbreaker to free herself from Mary’s grasp and slides into the ring to assist Mariah from being double teamed by MsChif and Chyna. Chyna is holding Mariah overhead in a stalling suplex as MsChif comes crashing down from the top rope with a cross body to Mariah’s abdomen to drive her to the mat. Amanda slides into the ring just as MsChif and Chyna are setting up the table to drive Mariah through in the corner. MsChif greets Amanda with a toe kick followed by a Desecrator but Amanda counters with a Russian leg sweep while Chyna lifts Mariah overhead in a powerbomb towards the corner. Mariah slides down Chyna’s spine to narrowly escape. Chyna spins around confused and into a point-blank Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) from Mariah. That only causes Chyna to stumble back a few feet but Amanda finishes the job with a Fade to Black (Spear) into the table behind the 9th Wonder of the World.

The odds are now evened out but the elimination victory is short-lived as Sensational Mary returns as part of the action. MsChif sets up two tables – one inside the ring and another outside before continuing her assault on Amanda. Mary and Mariah’s battle ends up on top of the table with Mariah getting the upper hand and lifting Sensational Mary on her shoulders in a fireman carry position for the Thanks 4 Nothin’ (Go To Sleep). Mary wiggles free and counters with a leaping variation of the Beauty Mask (Complete Shot) to drive Mary through the table.

Mary bows formally for the crowd as it’s now 2 to 1 left for her team. To Mary’s surprise, she’s tossed out of the ring and through the table below to even the odds instantly during her showboating. It was the handiwork of MsChif, wanting to take on Amanda all on her own. Mary has a fit on the floor as security has to carry her to the locker room kicking and screaming.

MsChif watches with a sinister smile on her face as she turns around into the incoming Fade to Black from Amanda. MsChif leaps overhead and executes a beautiful Code Green (Amazing Red’s Code Red) counter. MsChif sets up a final table at ringside and rolls back into the ring to position Amanda on the top rope, Amanda resists with a few strikes to the face but MsChif keeps the momentum with a rake to the eyes and wraps her legs around Amanda’s neck, following up with a hurracanrana to the outside.

The table set up at ringside breaks from a body being driven through it as the two Vixen come crashing down. A scream is heard upon impact but silenced shortly afterwards. The referee holds up a Vixen’s arm up to name her the winner tonight and that woman’s name is Amanda! She managed to counter MsChif’s hurracanrana to the outside into a diving powerbomb through the table, sacrificing both of their bodies to pick up the victory tonight. Mariah and Amberz celebrate Amanda’s victory as MsChif is left lying amongst the remains of the table.

On the post-'Mania joint show between VWA/Xplosion (May 8, 2009), it was announced that Mariah was one of the many Superstars, Divas, and Vixens that were being drafted from Xplosion to VWA.

The show returns from commercial break inside of Amanda’s locker room.

Mariah: Amanda, I know you're still upset about me going to VWA but I think this is for the best.

Amanda looks at Mariah and she seems to be pretty sad.

Amanda: That's right. I thought that ewe were such a good team and I really hoped that it would go on for a while. And it also scares me a bit to be alone again. I was so happy to have my family with me.

She looks to the ground.

Mariah walks over to Amanda and holds her close to her body. "Amberz is doing a bit of time off but she said she'll be here when we need her. Amanda you're never alone - I can visit whenever I want, besides I am engaged to the boss after all. I don't want to miss any of your matches." She smiles at her.

She continues, "I know we've been together again only for a few months but after seeing you win that match at Mania all on your own, you don't need me holding your hand at all. You didn't need even before that, especially when you were kicking my ass when we hated each other. I just see an opportunity to maybe help the new girls on VWA like I've done here so long."

Now Amanda smiles a bit. Mariah's words really make her feel better.

Amanda: Maybe you're right, but it still hurts a bit. The time we had here was just too short, but it helps me a bit when you come at least sometimes to see my matches. And yes, with Mania you are right. I almost had lost my self-confidence, but now it's back. Think I'm still able to take a win. Hehe ..but sometimes it's nice when somebody holds my hand.

She giggles a bit and then she looks at Mariah. Amanda: But you are right. I think it will be good when you help the newcomers a bit. They really need some support. It will be great for the company and I'm sure that you do the right thing. (smiles) You always did that. In some way you even did it with me at the beginning as you were my enemy. All this hate gave me so much power in the past. Thank you ...

She hugs her again.

Amanda: But I prefer it as it is at the moment (smiles again). Having a family again is so much better and it also makes me strong. By the way, when you ever need something or some help at VWA with the rookies then tell me. I'm always here for you

Mariah returns the hug and smiles back at Amanda, "I'm glad to hear that. Amanda you're so much different now. You're not carrying all of that horrible pain within anymore, you have more love in your life that you could ever hope for. You truly are a goddess. The only thing you have to do is convince those people in that arena of that. If you ever need anything here, you know I'm just a call away."

Amanda smiles happily. She takes Mariah by her hands. Amanda: I will prove it ..I promise. Soon they will all see it and they will realize that nothing can ever stop me. Maybe then, one day, I will be a champion again. I know that I wasted too much time with all these hatreds, but maybe it was necessary to change me. Now I see it, I know what I want and that is to be on top again. Yeah ..then I really become a Goddess ...Haha ..at least here in this company. Then nobody will ever forget me and my fights here.

It's such a nice feeling and she really feels so strong now.

Amanda: And one more thing is for sure, and that is that nothing can ever separate our family.

"You got that right sister!" grins Mariah.

Amanda giggles a bit. She gets two drinks from the fridge and hands one to Mariah.

Amanda: Haha ..yeah, so cheers ..Let's drink on a great future ..

Mariah nods as the scene fades to black.

Later that evening, the Pretty Mean Sisters (Cheeka, Ivory, Showbiz) are returning to their locker rooms while they still savor what they just done to Tina Angel, Mariah stops Showbiz passing by and asks for a word with her.

Mariah's newfound friend in VWA, none other than Rumble Roses' own "Harlem Nightmare" Sista A (Showbiz)

Showbiz (Putting her hands on her ebony hips): Why it’s the Showstoppin’ Sista meeting with the Dancin’ Sista #1…what do YOU want?

Mariah (Sighs): Hey, I know I’m the new girl on VWA now and it’s none of my business, but if you ask me you’re WAY better off without those two. You’re not a sadistic criminal like Cheeka and you’re not a stuck-up old crane, fixated on your glory years in another company like Ivory. I’ve watched VWA since it started and I’ve watched you stand back and let them stand in your spotlight time and time again. Showbiz…no, Aisha, that ring is your stage. It’s about time you made it show time for your career to kick start.

Cheeka sticks her head out of the doorway and notices Mariah talking to Showbiz but hasn’t heard the conversation.

Cheeka: Don’t let the new gringa talk non-sense to you, Showgirl.

Mariah, being used to the attitudes that tend to come from the newer girls in ZXWWF, brushes Cheeka’s comment aside and begins to walk off, leaving Showbiz with a closing few words, “Think about what I’ve said. You know I’m right.”

Showbiz walks in the opposite direction without turning her head to face Mariah but deep down she knows Mariah speaks the truth. She fakes a smile and joins Cheeka in the dressing room as Cheeka stares daggers at Mariah’s back as she makes her way down the opposite end of the hallway.

Over the next few days, Mariah's words really hit Showbiz at home and her and Mariah quickly become friends. Mariah takes her under her wing as her mentor as the duo begin living together after the Pretty Mean Sisters disown her.

On the VWA May 20, 2009 taping, inside a familiar dressing room, Mariah stretches in preparation for her debut match tonight on VWA. Showbiz has her feet propped up on the couch as she watches her.

Showbiz: "You ready? You think the new girl is gonna be a pushover?"

Mariah: "Now, see that's what makes you different from me. I don't EVER underestimate my opponents. Whether they are as experienced as the 16 time champion Ric Flair or as green as the next model turned wrestler, I go out there expecting the best from my opponents. I have to say I do have goosebumps. I haven't been this pumped in a LONG time."

Showbiz: "Well, that's a good plan to have there. Good luck."

Mariah and Showbiz share a high five as Mariah exits the room, heading for the ring.

Mariah makes her in-ring debut for the brand against the debuting Ferrari Spade. The match starts off with a series of holds and hammerlocks, but both women reverse their way out of the holds as Mariah and Ferrari look at the crowd in approve of an impressive start to their debut match.

Mariah catches Ferrari off-guard with feint kick up high, then lands a sweep, which allows Mariah to follow up with a standing moonsault. Mariah covers for a near-fall as Ferrari kicks out, shaking her head. Mariah merely smiles, clearly amused with this contest.

Mariah whips Ferrari towards the ropes and waits for the rebound. Ferrari ducks the pending clothesline and hits the ropes again, only to hit the Ace of Spades on the rebound. This time, the tables are turned with Mariah's shoulders pinned to the mat. Once again, another near-fall occurs until the Showstoppin' Senorita kicks out.

Ferrari catches her breath while Mariah kips-up to her feet with ease. Mariah closes in with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music), only for Ferrari to dragon screw her to the mat and apply the Welcome to the O.C. (Figure Four Leglock transitioned into a Boston Crab). Mariah wenches in pain from the hold but she doesn't try to reach the ropes. Instead, the veteran Vixen turns her body over onto her stomach, reversing the flow of pain in the submission hold. Ferrari feels the pain now but Mariah doesn't keep the Figure Four locked in. She frees a leg and transitions the hold into a reverse STF.

Ferrari bites tooth and nail against the hold until....finally...she reaches the ropes to force the hold to be broken. While Ferrari gathers herself, Mariah stomps in the corner in preparation for another Heartbreaker. This time the kick is successful, but as Mariah goes for the pin, Ferrari trips Mariah up as she fell for her possum tactics. Ferrari taunts the fans and connects with a Spear as Mariah returns to her feet. Ferrari finishes The Fast & Furious with a Cyclone maneuver to pick up the win in her VWA debut tonight.

Love is in the Air -- Tying the Knot

Over on ZXWWF.com it was announced that after months of speculation, ZX and Mariah would finally tie the knot and get married at the upcoming Condemned 2009 PPV event.

On Xplosion (May 22, 2009), the ZXWWF Founder, ZX, is shown sitting in his office on the phone with his fiancée, Mariah, on the other end of the line on speaker.

Mariah: “You’ve picked yours already? I’ve already got my bridesmaids selected.” ZX: “Of course, my best men are easy picks – T-Bone, Victor Philips, Big Show, and Jay Lethal. Mariah: “VERY surprised that you’re letting silly boy, Jay, in this. My bridesmaids are Amanda, Amberz, Showbiz, and Candice Michelle. I know what you’re gonna say – why no Rae? I know she would feel just as awkward as I would if she asked me to be in her wedding if she was marrying you. She’s still got a front row seat though.”

ZX: “Oh wow, so Aisha and Candice said yes – Ah I don’t blame you on Rae. I’m sure she’s not gonna have any hard feelings about it. How’s Aisha holding up after what our resident criminal did to her?”

Mariah: “She’s a tough cookie. She’s gonna be alright. She’s just got a minor bump from the hit to the head. Nothing’s broken. I’m not concerned with that chica, Cheeka, or whatever that girl’s name is… Shantelle Taylor seems ready to take her out for everyone’s sake.”

ZX (smirking): “That’s good to hear. How did it feel to lose to the new girl, Ferrari Spade? I have to say, I haven’t seen you get a workout like that since that war you and Kirsten had going last year.” Mariah: “Shut up. You win some, you lose some. I have to say I’m surprised she beat me. She’s got some potential to make it big around here. I’m just hoping she keeps that steam throughout her career. It’s gonna take her far. I’d love to go at with her again someday.”

ZX: “Oh I’m sure you’ll get your chance. Ratings for VWA this week were through the roof. Seems like T-Bone is doing his new job well. See? I told you that you and him would be fine on that brand. You guys see enough of me already anyway.”

Mariah (laughing): “That’s true. I’d better let you get back to work; you do have a company to run after all.”

The next week on VWA May 27, 2009 taping, Cheeka faces against Showbiz in a match where the Deathmatch division's rules were applied (weapons are allowed). Cheeka manages to pick up the win after smashing Showbiz' through a glass table. Mariah rushed out to the ring, avoiding Cheeka, to help Showbiz to her feet. Showbiz shakes off the cobwebs and charges behind Cheeka up the entrance ramp. Showbiz breaks a large piece of glass over the back of her head.

Cheeka's eyes flare up with anger as she spins around and chokes Showbiz. Mariah shoves her off her newfound friend and roommate, only for Cheeka to smirk and walk off. On the way to her locker room, she shoves her way in between John Morrison and Shantelle Taylor as they make their way to the ring for the next match. On the June 3, 2009 taping of VWA, Mariah is sitting in her locker room as Showbiz and Amberz get ready for their upcoming match in a triple threat against Ferrari Spade.

Showbiz: I’ll leave, I know you want your sister to win more than me.

Mariah (stands up from couch with her hands on her hips): If I’m supposed to be your mentor, then you haven’t learned the first lesson of Mariah 101. Win, lose, or draw. Your task in EVERY match is to give those people out there something to be proud of they’ve bought tickets to see. If Amberz wins, cool, if you win, awesome, if Ferrari wins, even more so, as I’ll be proud of the effort you’ve put out there in that ring. Of course, effort doesn’t win titles but it does show management that your presence demands ratings.

Amberz: I’m gunning for a win, but that doesn’t mean that I have any ill will towards you or Ferrari. I’m looking forward to cutting loose and having fun in the ring.

Showbiz (giving Amberz a high five with heightened spirits after Mariah’s pep talk): Agreed, let’s have fun out there. And Mariah…I’m glad to have a friend…a mentor like you. I know I can be a bit thick-headed sometimes, but it always takes someone like you to set me straight. For that, I thank you.

Mariah (shaking her head): Thanks isn’t necessary. I’m just glad you gave me a chance to pass my veteran knowledge to another. On Xplosion (June 5, 2009), Xplosion opens up to Mariah in ZX's lockerroom just ending a conversation on her cell phone. Someone rapidly and violently bangs on the door as a form of a knock.

Mariah ~ Raven, who else?

Mariah rolls her eyes and laughs a bit as she answers the door. The second Mariah opens the door, Raven throws streamers in her face a blows a birthday horn. More streamers drop for the ceiling as does crewmen roll in carts of food and drinks. Before Mariah could say anything, in walks 5 male strippers with "Chippendales" writeen across the back of their speedos in big letters. Those men are follow by her bridesmaids Amanda, Amberz, Showbiz, and Candice Michelle.

Rae ~Surprise!!! Bridesmaid or not, I was gonna be the one to throw you a party.

"Shake It Like A Dog" by Mya plays through the stero as the Chippendale dancers go to work earning their pay. Just as Mariah was about to speak Tiffany who wraps her arm around Mariah for a hug

Tiffany ~ Congratulation, Mariah. You did something the 3 of us couldn't; Lock Kyle down for good.

Mariah ~ Who's 'the 3 of us'?

Kyra storms in purposely bumping into Mariah's shoulder, shoving her out of the way as she made her way to the party behind them. Mariah looked at Raven with an eyebrow arched. Raven sheepishly laughs.

Rae ~Surprise number two!! I invited Tiffany and Kyra. That's not a problem is it?

Raven didn't give Mariah time to answer OK, good. Go back there and tip the guys, I'll be right back. Gotta handle some BP related bid-ness. OH! Almost forgot Tony. Another male stripper comes at the door ripping down his shirt down the middle. He pulls out a water bottle and empties it on his chest.

Rae ~ God has been good to this one. Anyway you two have fun and you’re welcome.

Raven dashes off as Tony goes behind Mariah and does his job while the scene fades to black.

The cameras go to ZX with his head down in his office, obviously hung over from the bachelor party that T-Bone, Matt, and several of the other ZXWWF Superstars did for him last night.

T-Bone: Damn that was a good party. You remember anything from it? ZX (adjusting the shades over his bloodshot eyes): Yeah I remember all of it, but mostly – wet, soaking boobs in flimsy T-Shirts, Incredible Hulk, and a midget. I hope you know the girls are going to kill us, namely you if word got out that we had all of the guys on the roster out there for what you called “fun”.

T-Bone: What they don’t know won’t hurt us, right? That’s what you said when we were betting on Sagus’ match.

ZX (holding icepack on head): Yeah, but you’re not the one who’s wearing a cup 24 hours of the day now are you? If I remember correctly, didn’t Emily break your arm AND your ankle the last time you pulled a stunt like that?

T-Bone (nodded slowly): I’m sure they are having just as much fun as we did last night at Mariah’s lil party that I heard Rae-Rae cooked up.

ZX: How the hell you know?

T-Bone: I’ve got a peep hole drilled into Trish’s dressing room. I’ve been charging the guys $75 a pop for sneak peaks.

ZX: You know what? I’m too hung over to even comment on how wrong you are for that. But I guess I’ll take a peak later at that party. I am curious to see what villainy all of my ex’s can cook up with Mariah in the same room. I shudder at the sheer thought of that one…

ZX slams his head back down on the desk as the cameras go back out to the ring for tonight’s opening contest.

The Wedding of Xion Zeros and Marisol Francesca Cruz

At the Condemned 2009 PPV (June 15, 2009), Mere minutes before the start of the PPV is set to begin, Mariah calls a meeting amongst the Divas and Vixen Locker room.

Mariah: “I know all of you bought some beautiful dresses to wear at our wedding tonight but I have some news that might just will break some of your hearts. None of you will not be caught dead wearing your fancy new dresses and what-not, but Z and I have agreed on a better look for everyone.”

Angelina Love: “Umm, I think not… we pay good money to stay this beautiful and up to speed in the latest fashions. I’m sorry “senorita” but we won’t be wearing some tacky outfit you’ve come up with.”

Mariah (getting in Love’s face): “Well, then that won’t be a problem, as you’ll all be wearing your OWN tacky outfits, as we’re making it mandatory that everyone wears their ring gear to the wedding. This is a wrestling program after all. Besides, that won’t give any of you an excuse to skip your matches tonight just because you have to get ‘pretty’ or dolled up for the event. And ladies, don’t worry about the boys as Z is passing the message along to them at this very moment.“

Mariah exits the room while Amberz comments, “Bridezilla strikes again!” and all of the Divas and Vixens share a laugh as the scene fades out.

The wedding is about to begin as the entire ZXWWF roster are being seated by Psycho Sagus and “Lady D” Ashley. Newly crowned VWA Divas Champion “La Bandida” Cheeka is seated in-between Asuka and Bambi, with Lise Starr sitting behind her and Curryman in front. Cheeka shakes her head, being very annoyed at Asuka, Bambi, and Lise Starr reaching over and in-front of her, trading Pokemon via their Nintendo DS. Curryman keeps turning around and asking Asuka, “You ring bell now? Action? Action?” every couple of minutes. Asuka merely shakes her head and says, “Later…you’ll get your lil’ firecracker after this is over.” Christopher Daniels and Curryman look at each other momentarily as AJ Styles stares at both of them blankly as he is seated next to them. (ONLY in ZXWWF folks…)

VWA Champion Triple H is seated in-between VWA GM Stephanie McMahon and “9th Wonder of the World” Chyna. HHH asks, “I’m surprised you’re still with the company, Chyna.” Chyna merely shrugs, “I’m on and off. Just helping with training the newer girls more nowadays. Besides, don’t play stranger – you saw me perform at ‘Mania.” HHH nods, “Uh, huh. At least you didn’t suck at it.” HBK glances at the 3 of them sitting together and merely grins as he’s being seated. Steph comments, “If you’re ever looking to come back full-time, I could be able to pull some strings and get you on VWA. I wouldn’t see a problem in doing that for you.” Chyna muses, “Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.”

The Women’s Tag Team Champions, Ultimate Stratusfaction, are sharing a seat up in front with James Storm. Trish Stratus and Storm flirt with each other, with Storm even putting his cowboy hat on her head for fun. The Beautiful People sit behind them with Rosa Mendez, constantly tearing pieces of paper from their programs and tossing paper balls at the back of Raven and Trish’s heads – clearly trying to provoke them for another tag title shot. Of course, Rae and Trish ignore them with smiles on their faces.

Sitting nearby, Miss Money in the Bank herself, Daizee Haze, sits next to her best friend, Mickie James, and fellow competitor Bryan Danielson. Daizee assures Mickie, “Don’t feel so bad, Mickie. You did great there. I’ll be more than happy to give you another chance. That’s what friends are for right?” Mickie James nods silently as Danielson adds, “When you get bored with that, you can get a real workout putting that thing on the line against me.” Mickie James’ eyes narrow as she ignores him and tries to focus on her second chance.

Samoa Joe and Cheerleader Melissa are seated in the back as the deranged Victoria is seated next to them. Samoa Joe comments, “What do you know, all of the former champions who’ve been royally screwed out of their gold are all here.” Melissa nods, making mock cheerleading gestures, “Gimme a L-A-M-E, LAME! LAME! LAME! I swear, if we don’t get a fair shot around here I’m going to start bashing the GM’s brains in.” Victoria merely stares blankly at Beth Phoenix holding the Women’s Championship (she’s sitting next to Lise Starr), pulling her hair with a mischievous look on her face.

Vixen Champion Kirsten is sitting in-between her boyfriend, Deathmatch Champion Marcus Brett, and her elder sister, Nicole. Kirsten plays with her pink hair, curling it around her finger while whispering jokes on the other Superstars in attendance in Marcus’ ear. Nicole sighs and elbows Kirsten hard to hopefully encourage her to behave herself.

In front of them, Rain is between the two girlfriends (one ex and one current fling) of Jimmy Jacobs, Lacey and TriXie Callaway. TriXie keeps mumbling to herself, “I swear I’m going to kill whoever made up this seating arrangement as this just punishment.” The reigning ZXWWF Tag Team Champions Age of the Fall, sit in the row in front of them. Tyler Black keeps reminding Jimmy Jacobs, “The second you turn around and talk to one of them, you’ll be open for your demise from the other one.” Allison Wonderland nods, “So do the SMART thing and just don’t talk to them until after this thing is over. We really don’t need a full-blown Dawson’s Creek episode like the Guns had the past few months.” Jimmy Jacobs sighs, shaking his head in complete agreement.

ZXWWF Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho sits with his fellow Rollers beside him, Ashley Massaro and Jack Ace. Jack Ace shuffles his deck of cards while Ashley Massaro comforts Jericho about his upcoming title defense after this wedding. Ashley comments, “C’mon, you know we’ve got your back in this as always. Sure, Edge’s contract ended after the tag team match earlier and he’s not renewing it. But we still got Jackie here.” Jericho clutches his title tightly, “I know, I know, but I have to be the first one to see what that psycho bitch Amanda would do in a main event title match. She’s the biggest wildcard in this than anyone else. Sure, I’ve beat Storm on several occasions, same for Maddoxxx, but Amanda she’s just capable for ANYTHING. That’s what worries me.” Jack Ace adds, “No matter, as long as you’re playing with a full deck you should be alright.”

The music starts as the preacher followed by ZX and his best men (T-Bone, Matt, Psycho Sagus, Victor Philips, Jay Lethal) walk down towards the fully decorated ring. They are followed by the bridesmaids (Emily, Amberz, Amanda, Showbiz, and Candice Michelle). T-Bone keeps looking back at Trish Stratus flirting with James Storm but Emily gives him a wicked glare to snap him back into good behavior.

All heads turn around for the bride herself, making her usual ring entrance but with a golden veil covering her face while she walks down the ramp carrying a bouquet of roses. She stops at ZX’s side, smiling as everyone takes their seats.

Sensational Mary interrupts before the ceremony goes any further.

Mary: “I know this is you two’s wedding day and we here at ZXWWF love you guys to death for everything you for us in and outside of the ring. So your closest friends – myself included, arranged for the following guest to sing at your wedding. No, it’s no Mariah Carey but we got the next best thing that seemed appropriate for this happy occasion.”

Will Ferrell comes out to join Sensational Mary on the stage, dressed up as his Jackie Moon character from the movie “Semi-Pro” and sings his “Love Me Sexy” musical number.

ZX and Mariah cover their faces in embarrassment as the audience and roster in attendance explode into laughter.

The laughter dies down and the preacher attempts to get the ceremony started until a girlish shriek is heard from the roster members’ seats.

Lise Starr: “Oh my god! You’ve got a Level 73 Blastoise that can do Rock Slide AND Thunderbolt!!? You’re awesome! I gotta have that! I’ll give everything I have for that.”

Bambi nods silently as everyone turns around to see what’s going on.

Cheeka: “That’s it. I’m sick of this bullshit…”

Cheeka snatches Bambi’s Nintendo DS and smashes it on the floor, and stomps on all of the parts. Bambi looks mortified at Cheeka’s villainous act while Asuka picks up her Hello Kitty book bag from the floor. Shantelle Taylor (who was sitting a few rows behind them) snatches the book bag from Asuka and rings the bell instead herself, smiling at shocked Cheeka. Bambi snaps (as usual) but instead of a moan of ecstasy, Bambi unleashes a primal roar and tackles Cheeka to the ground as several of the Superstars, Divas, and Vixens nearby move out of the way to let Bambi and Cheeka go at it. Bambi reopens Cheeka’s wounds from the Street Fight earlier tonight by hammering her with the seating chairs. Cheeka attempts to flee but she’s assaulted by Bambi tossing the chairs at her until she stumbles back down to the ground. At this point, Cheeka’s a bloody mess while Anesthesia and the EMTs help her to the back while several Vixens and Divas restrain Bambi and carry her to the locker room area.

ZX and Mariah shake their heads at this turn of events from one of the three couches set-up in the ring for just for these interruptions.

ZX (to Mariah): “And you said it was a crazy idea to have these here. I told you something would go ape-shit out here and interrupt this. You forget I have a company of loyal, yet crazy fruitcakes on the roster. And yet, half of them hate my guts or each so much that they don’t care about our happiness.”

Mariah (nods smiling): “Uh-huh, uh-huh, Mr. Bigshot. I guess that’s why you’re the brains and I’m the beauty of this relationship. (sticks out her tongue at him before looking towards the preacher) Can we just skip the formalities and get to the I do’s? We can both agree we’ve been through the for better or worse part on a regular basis.”

The preacher nods approvingly as the wedding party in the ring all stand up from the couches in the ring.

Preacher: “Is there anyone in the building who has any reason why this couple should not be united in marriage?”

ZX and Mariah look back at the roster in attendance with their hands on their hips. All of the roster looks at Raven sitting in the audience.

ZX (whispering to Mariah): “Don’t worry about Rae, she’s cool. As for Kyra and Tiffany, I paid off some guys to take care of them… Trust me, they aren’t going anywhere.”

Cameras flashback backstage a few minutes ago with a clip of Big Daddy G and Dequan gagging and tying up Kyra and Tiffany with ropes and chains.

Cameras return back to the ring, Raven looks up to notice all the eyes on her. She stands up smiling but cuts a glare at the crowd.

Raven: “Been there done that, have fun with Z, Mariah, you deserve him. I ain’t mad at ya, girl.”

As soon as Raven sits back down, yet another interrupt occurs, but to everyone’s surprise it’s one that’s never been seen in ZXWWF until tonight. It’s the arrival of the Godfather with the Ho Train (majority of the ladies are contestants for the upcoming Diva Search contest).

Godfather: “Whoa, whoa, whoa, Z. You getting tied down after all that fun we had at your bachelor party? This ain’t the time to be getting married it’s the PERFECT time to be a bachelor because pimpin’ ain’t easy my brother.”

ZX (quickly grabs the microphone): “Uh, no, G. One ride is enough for me on the Train. I’m happy enough with this beautiful lady beside me.”

Mariah (blushing as she whispers in ZX’s ear): “Nice save there, but it’s still isn’t gonna stop the talk we’re gonna have about exactly what you boys did that night…”

ZX gulps hard as Godfather nods approvingly at his comment, “I can respect that playa. But I’m sure somebody in this place wants to come aboard the Ho Train!!”

Curryman stands up, shouting “Konichiwa!” as his theme song hits as he dances and leads the group backstage. Jay Lethal joins them shouting, “OH YEEAAAHH!!” as he leaps over the ropes and hops outside to join the Godfather.

All of the guys in the audience stand up, while the Divas and Vixens are shouting for them to sit back down. T-Bone motions to leave with the Ho Train but he’s yanked back by the arm and finds himself locked in a crossface submission hold by his girlfriend, Emily. ZX and Mariah, along with the best men and bridesmaids whistle at T-Bone tapping out.

Melina laughs at what’s going on in the ring, “Damn, sucks to be him, huh, Chris? I mean you know I’ll kill you guys if you left with that horndog and those wannabe Divas who have to whore their way into this company. Right?”

Melina looks around and sees the seats are empty as the guys are already gone, just like Allison Wonderland is left looking at two empty chairs with the ZXWWF Tag Team Championships on the seats. Lacey and TriXie’s jaws are left hanging open as they can’t believe the boys left. Ashley Massaro, Trish Stratus, Ivory and Kirsten are left in the same state of shock as Chris Jericho, Jack Ace, Marcus Brett, and Samuel are nowhere to be seen.

With the Divas and Vixens majorly pissed at the Superstars’ complete departure from the wedding to ride the Train, ZX and Mariah urge the preacher to just skip ahead and wrap things up.

Preacher: “Marisol Cruz, do you take this man to be your husband?”

Mariah: “I d---“

Mariah is interrupted by ZX shoving her out of the way of the falling wreckage of the falling arch and light fixture.

The ZXWWF Founder is pulled out of the debris and loaded onto a stretcher. Mariah shoves the cameramen out of her face as she escorts the EMTs to the ambulance. Sensational Mary hanging above the ring dropping to the ring below. ZX falls to the ground with the debris covering him as the best men and brides maids attempt to get him out of it. Mariah panics, signaling to Anesthesia to get the EMTs out to the ring for the second time in the past few signals to the cameramen to cut the video feed as the PPV takes a brief intermission to prepare for the main event.

The Last Hurrah: Heartbreakers, Karebears, and Raisha Saeed?!

After recovering from the injuries suffered at the hands of Amanda to bring her back to her senses, Mariah returns to ZXWWF in time to participate in the Divas/Vixen's Riot at Riot Control 2010. Mariah promised her fans that she would win the match to earn the honor to challenge the current reigning ZXWWF Heavyweight Champion "Voluptuous Vixen" Justice to a match at ZXWWF 'Mania V and eliminate the cancer known as The Legion from ZXWWF completely herself. Mariah's dreams for headlining 'Mania was foiled by "Heartbreaker" Lise Starr, another member of The Legion faction.

At the March 19th edition of Xplosion, Mariah appeared on the brand, demanding a match with Lise Starr for payback for her embarrassment at the PPV, but Lise declined the offer, stating that the Showstoppin' Senorita was not worthy to face a member of The Legion. ZX had security drag a kicking and cursing Mariah out of the building afterwards. The following week at the March 26th taping of Xplosion, Mariah costs Lise Starr her opportunity to advance in the Pick 8 tournament, causing her to lose the opportunity to Daizee Haze after sneaking into the ring to deal a Heartbreaker to Lise from behind the referee's back. Mariah mentioned to Nicole in an interview afterwards as that act was part of "settling the score" with herself and Lise Starr. On the April 2nd edition of Xplosion, Lise Starr delivers sweet revenge on Mariah for costing her a Vixen Championship opportunity in the form of a 2 on 1 handicap street fight that Mariah didn't even know about. The team of No Remorse (Shelly Martinez and Casey Cortez) attack Mariah from behind and apply a double submission on her to quickly put her out of commission just as she arrives at the building for the show. At the end of the April 7th taping of VWA, Mariah was shown knocking Amanda out with a super kick, knocking some sense into her younger sister literally after hearing about her affair with Poison Rose while Amanda was apparently dating the current VWA Champion Brutus Magnus. Earlier that night, she gave the similar treatment to Cheeka after becoming sick of her weak behavior in relation to the "Rated R Superstar" Edge. Mariah and Lise Starr came face-to-face on the April 9th edition of Xplosion, which ended in a catfight between the two before security separated them. Mariah and the "Ultimate Vixen" Raven are paired together to face the reigning ZXWWF Women's Tag Team Champions The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky). The duo have TBP on the ropes, pending for defeat but the pair get caught up into an argument at ringside that causes them to lose the match via count out. It turns out that the match went according to ZX's plans as the mastermind behind The Legion as The Beautiful People reveal that they are the latest additions to the group after the match. Prior to the April 23rd edition of Xplosion, Mariah made a challenge to Lise Starr for the upcoming Nowhere to Run PPV for a 5 on 5 Diva Tag Team Elimination match.

At the show, Mariah named Karen Beth Zurich, Natayla Neidhart, and the team of No Remorse as the members consisting of Team Mariah. Lise Starr answered the challenge with her team consisting of the Straight-Edge Society's own "Queen of Extreme" Lita, Endee Leights, and Simply Flawless (Michelle McCool & Layla El). At Nowhere to Run, Team Mariah has the match won, but No Remorse turns on their teammates allowing Team Starr to get an easy victory. To toss salt into the open wound, all of members of No Remorse and Team Starr all take turns hitting their finishers on the helpless Showstoppin' Senorita. After this public embarrassment, it seemed that the feud between Mariah and Lise Starr was over, especially with the resources of The Legion at Lise's disposal. During the VWA/Xplosion Joint-Show Special on May 21, Lise Starr is attacked by an unknown attacker. Everyone has already labeled Mariah as the prime suspect, but her alibi is proven not guilty as she is shown in her locker room playing Super Street Fighter IV with "Harlem Nightmare" Showbiz (Aisha) and Rosa Mendes. The following week on the May 28th edition of Xplosion, Lise Starr is set to participate in a "Watch This Mariah" match against the debuting LuFisto but beforehand Nicole and Mariah review the security footage from last week. Lise Starr is attacked backstage by masked woman who is commonly known as Raisha Saeed.

Saed warns Lise of the "Awesome One" who is coming to ZXWWF, most certainly hinting at the female colossus that is known as Awesome Kong. After proving Mariah's innocence with the footage, Nicole is attacked from behind by Raisha Saeed but Mariah saves her from harm and manages to pull off Saeed's burka to get a momentarily view of her identity, just a glimpse of her long blonde hair. On the June 4th edition of Xplosion, Mariah surprises Lise Starr to a temporary truce until they eliminate Raisha Saeed, working off the "enemy of my enemy, is my friend" philosophy. Lise Starr reluctantly agrees and it pays off as Saeed's interference is put to an halt in Starr's match against reigning Vixen Champion Taylor Wilde later that night, which gave Lise Starr the time to pick up the victory while Mariah kept Saeed at bay. Next week during the June 11th edition of Xplosion, Lise Starr thanks Mariah for the help last week but their conversation is cut short as Raisha Saeed strikes from behind, smashing Mariah's skull into the nearby locker and locks her away into the janitor's closet. Lise Starr is then assaulted and dragged to the ring for an impromptu match against Raisha Saeed. Lise Starr puts up little offense before Saeed finishes her off with ease. Saeed then wastes no time in celebrating, removing her burka to reveal herself to be no one other than Mariah herself. The REAL Raisha Saed then comes to the ring to announce to everyone that the "Awesome One" has arrived, referring to Mariah as the Phoenix Queen, who will render all of the women in ZXWWF who cross her path to ashes. On the June 18th edition of Xplosion, Mariah and Lise Starr sign the contract to finalize their Last Woman Standing match at ZXWWF 'Mania V, both agreeing that neither Raisha Saed nor The Legion shall interfere in the match.

ZXWWF 'Mania V - Lise Starr vs. Mariah w/ Raisha Saeed (Mariah's last ZXWWF match)

At ZXWWF 'Mania V, Mariah comes out to congratulate her sister Amanda Cortez earlier on the card after becoming the VWA Champion after chasing after the title for so long. During her entrance to face Lise Starr she gives her fur necklace that she wears during her entrance to Cheeka's daughter, Kitten, who is attending the PPV on the front row prior entering the ring. Lise Starr and Mariah put on an amazing match, which many have said that is the best performance out of their ZXWWF careers. Lise Starr comes out on top though, after countering a springboard plancha to the outside with a well-placed Starrstruck (Super Kick) knocking Mariah out of the air. That keeps her down long enough for a 10 count to win the Last Woman Standing match. Both women earn a standing ovation from the crowd on their performance but Mariah holds up Lise's arm up, insisting that she gets all the glory as Lise has earned her respect. Just as Mariah heads to the locker room up the entrance ramp, Lise Starr celebrates her win only to Raisha Saeed to crash the party, promising that the Phoenix Queen will rise from the ashes. Lise has enough of Saeed's preaching until she reveals herself to be Karen Beth Zurich. KBZ takes out the worn out Lise Starr out with ease as Mariah watches from paramedics' office, realizing that KBZ has played both of them as the fool at ZXWWF's last televised event.

Independent Scene/Dream Matches (2009 to current)

During ZXWWF's Christmas 2009 intermission, she appeared with "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven and "The Kat" Carrie Marie in a special dream match for charity at a local promotion. Afterwards, she talked Carrie Marie into returning to the ZXWWF promotion briefly in 2010. During the summer of 2010 shortly after ZXWWF's closure, Mariah meet up with former ZXWWF and XGWL starlet "Dark Rose" Sheena Marie at a local promotion. The duo tore the house down with their excellent performance, with Mariah picking up the win after landing a well-placed Heartbreaker to counter a Sheena Spear. The two hugged after the performance and have made many appearances as a tag team amongst the independent scene, dubbed "Dark Wildflowers."

Ground Zero Wrestling Association (2010 to current)

When word go out that ZXWWF closed its doors for good, Mariah was content with spending the rest of her days as a full-time instructor at the Project X wrestling school. That is until she received an invitation from Xion Zeros about a new promotion he was starting and wanted her to be one of the founding women to establish the promotion's women's division. Mariah declined the invitation initially until she heard that Lise Starr AND Karen Beth Zurick would be joining the promotion as well. Mariah couldn't help herself. After the embarrassment after discovering that she was KBZ's tool at ZXWWF's final broadcast all along and the desire to even the score with Lise Starr, she jumped eagerly at the chance to face them in the ring once more.

Personal life

She is the older sister of professional wrestlers Amanda Cortez-Cruz, Amber "Amberz" Cruz-Lopez. . There is often confusion upon Mariah and Amanda's family ties, but here's the explanation. Mariah, Amber, and Amanda all share the same father but Amanda was born out of an affair which resulted in their family being split down the middle. Mariah stayed with her mother out of the custody battle while Amber was raised by their father, but Amanda's birth mother kept her unborn child to raise on her own. Amanda's birth mother passed during child birth and Amanda raised by the German/Puerto Rican "Cortez" family after being cared for in an orphanage for the first few years of her life. Along with ZX and T-Bone, Mariah works part-time as a trainer for their joint-wrestling school, dubbed Project X. "Lady D" Ashley, Kyra, Tiffany, Katrena "Raven" Mitchell, Katie Matthews, and Katrina "Cheeka" Mendoza all were graduating students from her personal classes.

She is the ex-girlfriend/fiancee of Xion Zeros known as ZX in ZXWWF and GZWA. They dated from their high school years and well throughout their wrestling careers until hitting bumpy road roughly about 2007. After his flings with several Divas/Vixens in ZXWWF, she was on and off with him until they split up for good in 2010.

MiMi and Chee up to their usual mischief on a night on the town.

She has openly expressed that she is not bisexual but tabloids have exposed several racy shoots of her and Katrina "Cheeka" Mendoza together. She merely comments as "it's a playful experiment..."

Many have reported seeing Mariah work for other promotions, such as TWF, but Mariah begs to differ as she knows that there are several cheap imitations of her out there in the wrestling community. The "real" Mariah has only worked for ZXWWF, New Blood Wrestling (privately owned by promoter and fellow wrestler Chuck Williams) and Ground Zero Wrestling Association, any other company claiming to have "signed" her have been falsely informed. Regardless, she is more than flattered at her popularity in the eWrestling community.

Out of all of the opponents she's faced over the years, she names Kirsten Franklin, Katrena "Raven" Mitchell, Lise Starr, Karen Beth Zurich, and Io Ono as her favorites.
