IN THE ZONE

Introduction

John Phillips: Welcome back to IN THE ZONE, everyone! We’re live once again from the heart of Universal Studios Orlando, and what a wild ride it’s been this past week.

Mark Bravo: Jarvis Valentine nearly shocked the world at One Last Stop, John. He was this close to walking out UTA Champion.

John Phillips: That match had the world watching—and while he didn’t leave with the world title, he’s still our Florida State Champion, and more determined than ever.

Mark Bravo: And let’s not forget the chaos here last week. Aaron Shaffer dethroned Cristian Santos in a jaw-dropping upset to become the new WrestleZone Champion.

John Phillips: What happens next? Let’s find out—because IN THE ZONE starts right now!

Aaron Shaffer Speaks

The arena lights dim slightly as wind machines roar to life. The new WrestleZone Champion, Aaron Shaffer, bursts through the curtain—belt slung over his shoulder, crowd roaring in approval.

John Phillips: The storm has arrived, folks.

Aaron Shaffer (mic):
"Last week… I proved that storms don’t ask for permission.
They show up. They take over. And they leave destruction behind."

The crowd chants “SHAF-FER! SHAF-FER!”

"I respect what Cristian Santos did in that ring. He was brutal. He was feral. But I was faster. I was hungrier. And now… I’m your WrestleZone Champion."

Mark Bravo: Say it louder, Aaron!

"But I didn’t win this belt to hang it on a wall. I won it to fight. So whoever’s next—bring your best. But just know…
the storm never stops."

Shaffer raises the title high as the crowd pops again. The champ has arrived—and he’s ready for all comers.

Carolyn Daniel vs. Colleen Wagner

John Phillips: Two of WrestleZone’s toughest women collided here—Carolyn Daniel brought the fire, while Colleen Wagner played the long game with grounded control.

Mark Bravo: Carolyn’s aggression was off the charts—Rope Snap NeckbreakerCorner Shining Wizard, the whole arsenal.

John Phillips: Colleen answered with her own grit—Snap Dragon SuplexFalcon Arrow, and a close call with a roll-up.

Mark Bravo: No matter who walks out with the W, both women made a case for climbing the Florida State Women’s title ladder.

John Phillips: Absolutely, but in this case Carolyn Daniel hits her finish and takes home the win.

Jarvis Valentine Responds

Camera cuts to Jarvis Valentine standing beside UTA interviewer Alyssa Carr. He's holding the Florida State Championship, eyes steady.

Alyssa Carr: "Jarvis, you came within inches of winning the UTA Championship at One Last Stop. What’s going through your mind?"

Jarvis Valentine:
"Alyssa, when I stepped into that ring last Friday, I wasn’t just fighting for gold—I was fighting for something bigger. I saw the future… I touched it. But sometimes, the story doesn’t end where you expect."

He raises his Florida State title.

"But this isn’t the end of the dream. This is just part of the path. I’m still your Florida State Champion—and I’m still chasing the truth. And that truth? It says Jarvis Valentine will become UTA World Champion."

John Phillips: That’s conviction, Bravo.

Mark Bravo: That’s a mission statement.

Timothy Wong vs. Alexander Hill

John Phillips: From Hong Kong style to Vegas sleight-of-hand, this was a battle of misdirection and precision.

Mark Bravo: Timothy Wong dazzled early—Ghost SweepSneak Attack Dropkick, then disappeared between the ropes more than once.

John Phillips: But Alexander Hill stayed patient. He baited Wong into a counter, nailed the Bullseye Uppercut, and fired back with a sudden Reversal Illusion Neckbreaker.

Mark Bravo: Momentum swung like a pendulum, but either way—it was a clinic in unpredictability.

John Phillips: That it was, with Timothy Wong bringing home the win.

Rumble at WrestleZone

John Phillips: We’ve got a major announcement straight from UTA headquarters.

Mark Bravo: Oh this one’s big, John. UTA’s main roster is coming back to Orlando!

John Phillips: That’s right—mark your calendars for July 25th, because it’s the next stop on the road to WrestleUTA: 25, and it’s called…

BOTH: RUMBLE AT THE WRESTLEZONE!

The crowd roars as a graphic flashes on screen showing the Rumble at the WrestleZone logo.

Mark Bravo: The stars of UTA’s flagship show will step into OUR house—and mix it up with the future of the brand right here in The WrestleZone.

John Phillips: You want Jarvis Valentine? Angela Hall? Aaron Shaffer? They’ll be there. But so will the likes of Brick BronsonValkyrie Knox, and maybe even the man they call The Raging Dead.

Mark Bravo: Cross-brand chaos is coming. Don’t miss Rumble at the WrestleZone, July 25th—right here in Orlando.

Angela Hall (c) vs. Shannon Ray

John Phillips: When Angela Hall and Shannon Ray stepped into the ring tonight, we knew we were about to witness precision vs. explosiveness.

Mark Bravo: Shannon opened with laser focus—Deadeye Dropkick, then a Precision Armbar that slowed Angela’s momentum early.

John Phillips: Ray went limb-hunting, targeting Hall’s left leg with a Targeted Knee Strike and locked in the Leg Hook Stretch, trying to set up her Last Shot finisher.

Mark Bravo: But Angela Hall has weathered worse. She broke free, rebounded with a Lightning Bolt Lariat, and followed it up with a crushing Twister Slam.

John Phillips: The champ wasn’t done—she hit the Raging Rapids Suplex, and as Ray staggered up, Angela launched from the top with the Storm Surge Moonsault!

Mark Bravo: Right into the Hurricane Hammer—that’s the end!

Referee: One… Two… Three!

John Phillips: Angela Hall retains once again! She just keeps proving why she’s the best in the division.

Mark Bravo: Shannon Ray had a sniper’s aim, but Hall’s storm can’t be stopped.

Closing Thoughts & What’s Ahead

John Phillips: Tonight gave us a champion’s warning, a near-miss redemption arc, and another title defense for Angela Hall.

Mark Bravo: And now that Shaffer’s declared he’ll fight anyone… who’s going to step up next?

John Phillips: Next week could bring another surprise, another challenge—or another chapter in this growing mystery around Eric Dane Jr.

Mark Bravo: Don’t blink, Orlando. Things are heating up. We’ll see you next week...

John Phillips: …right here on IN THE ZONE!
