Med Event Mafia Dominate Damian

## Overview

Following the Queen's Cup IV, Commissioner William Regal had been suspended by The Consortium Inc. Chairman Sir Charles Lynton following a successful lawsuit against the WWYD Franchise by Lauren Jauregui with Monica Bellucci acting as her legal representative. This also signaled the de facto reformation of the Med Event Mafia. Damian Hurley was installed as the new commissioner, and Bellucci immediately resumed her abusive relationship with him, effectively bullying him into making decisions.

Just prior to WWYD5, Dr Willa Wanda discovered that Lola Ferrari had starred in pornography which is grounds for being banned from WWYD according to the Rules. Bellucci immediately pressured Damian into replacing Ferrari with a Med, but Sir Lynton had other plans and ordered Damian to appoint Penny Morduant instead, hoping to catch some of the buzz surrounding her recent appearance at the coronation of King Charles III. When Damian did as Lynton said, Bellucci whipped him as punishment. Shortly after, Liz Hurley persuaded her son, Damian, to change her position in the bracket, which he agreed to.

In Round 2, Bellucci did not wish to face Marylin Monroe. The entire Med Event Mafia stormed his office, Ana de Armas held him in a chokehold while Jauregui performed butt-splashes on his back. Bellucci demanded that he change her booking so that her opponent would be Barbie Ferreira while Monroe would face Palvin. Damian passed out, but later announced this change.

After the Quarter-Final draw, Damian failed to announce the contestants for the Queen's Cup V and were again assaulted by de Armas and Jauregui. de Armas gave him a Chinese burn as Jauregui demanded that he announce a list that had been devised by Hayek and Bellucci. Naturally both de Armas and Jauregui were on the list.

In the Semi-Finals, Bellucci and Brooke Shields tied 50-50. While the upper management of the WWYD Franchise were meeting to decide on how to resolve the tie, they were surprised by Hayek who arrived with Penelope Cruz, Jauregui and De Armas to demonstrate that Shields had submitted a doctored shot in her match. Sir Lynton left the decision to Damian, who was late for a hair appointment. As he was leaving Sir Lynton's Office, he was jumped by Hayek, Jauregui and De Armas who put him into the boot of a car. Later, a heavily bruised and beaten Damian announced that Shields had been disqualified and Bellucci would advance to howls of outrage by the audience. Pundits Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson were especially aggrieved and started a campaign to oust Damian as commissioner. This event became known as Shields-gate. Shields was distraught and in tears at the decision, and Crawford vowed to avenge her friend in the final. Pfeiffer and Shields then launched a boycott against Damian and refused to appear in the third-placed matchup, accepting fines for their failure to appear. They also refused to appear in the planned number 1 contenders group at Queen's Cup V stating that they wanted Damian Hurley to be removed from power. After Bellucci narrowly lost to Cindy Crawford in the final, the Med Event Mafia launched their own "counter-boycott" and also refused to appear in the number 1 contenders group until an official investigation was launched into the final of WWYD5.

After the tournament, the Med Event Mafia abducted Damian yet again, dragging him to the Med Event Mafia Lair where Bellucci sat on a throne. Bellucci and the Meds also coerced Damian into fixing the groups so that Lauren Jauregui faced incredibly weak opposition, which included Hurley *himself*, who would become the first ever male contestant.
