Med Event Mafia

## Overview

The Med Event Mafia formed following the Med Event Mafia Takeover when Silvio Berlusconi bought the WWYD Franchise. It was led by Commissioner Monica Bellucci with Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz forming the core of the group. Liz Hurley joined the group after falsifying DNA evidence and giving her son, Damian Hurley, to Bellucci as a "manservant". This resulted in Vanessa Ferlito being fired from the group as part of the deal struck between Hurley and Bellucci. During WWYD4, Gina Carano who was said to be the group's "enforcer", was fired following her Round 1 defeat against Brooke Shields. Although never officially announced as a member, video footage emerged that Ana de Armas was secretly taking orders from Bellucci, which was all but confirmed later when an assassin who looked suspiciously like her attempted to murder Damian Hurley. Throughout their existence, the group feuded with The Pantheon in the Med Event Mafia vs. The Pantheon storyline.

However, during the Queen's Cup IV, when Lauren Jauregui was about to be banned by William Regal, Bellucci revealed that she had acquired a lawyer's license and would be representing not only Jauregui but also Hayek, Cruz and de Armas. Regal was subpoenaed after being sued by Jauregui leading to The Trial of William Regal. This resulted in Regal being suspended by The Consortium Inc.'s chairman Sir Charles Lynton with Damian Hurley appointed in his place. Bellucci, who had exercised complete dominance over Damian during her time as commissioner, resumed her control over him, thereby the "power behind the throne". Under the terms of The Consortium Takeover, Bellucci was forbidden to reform the Med Event Mafia, but given her new status as legal representative of four former members, and her power over the new acting commissioner, Damian, the group had reformed in all but name. When Hayek won The Queen's Cup, Bellucci, Cruz, Jauregui and de Armas joined her in celebration. Hayek cut a promo saying that the Med Event Mafia is "forever", and Bellucci vowed that WWYD5 would be theirs. Claudia Cardinale had been officially eliminated from WWYD at the Queen's Cup and thus is thought to have left the group. Bellucci also does not seem to have included Olivia Hussey in her plans, despite her being #10 Seed for WWYD5 and thus she must also be considered a former member of the group.

The group became particularly powerful again during WWYD5, when they using the increasingly disturbing and coercive dominance over Damian to change bookings and force decisions including the controversial events of Shields-gate and the Med Event Mafia Dominate Damian storyline. They caused many controversies such as The Fingernail of Doom and the Med Event Mafia's Hospitalisation of Brooke Shields, but enjoyed a period of dominance with Lauren Jauregui winning Queen's Cup V and the 1st Tag-Team Tournament (with Ana de Armas as The Cuban Connection) in back-to-back tournament victories making it three out of the last four tournaments for the Meds. Jauregui also stunned the WWYD world by winning WWYD6 partly thanks to the Med Event Mafia's Arrangement with Jeremy Hunt, this completed an unprecedented Triple Crown for Jaurgui leading to some possible jealousy from and tension with the groups leader Bellucci who is still without a trophy.
