Later that evening Marie took a shot at Britney and the rest of One Hive (Melissa McNeil & Kari Hanson) on her twitter account saying;**

***"You heard it right, Marilynn Marie just beat One Hive’s little barbie doll, it wasn’t hard either. My little entourage sure did its thing having my back. I’m feeling lucky, perhaps I’ll go on to beat all three members of One Hive" (@xMarilynnMarie).***

**All three One Hive members would later respond.** **Throughout the next few weeks the two teams would fight alongside there respected captains.** **On the June 9 edition of *GCA Wrestling,* the GCA WrestleVerse witnessed a backstage segment between Kari Hanson and Britney Quinn revealing that the Executive Commissioner Of The GCA Women's Division, Lori Love had informed them that they are set to defend there GCA Women's Tag Team Championship on the Annihilation-X pre-show.

It turns out they will be defending there championship against the team of Marilynn Marie and the returning Ashley King who is still sided with Codie Hale.**

### **Main Card**

#### **KDog (c) vs. Gran Machismo (with Rovhan Amoathyn)**

**On the May 5 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, the GCA Founder/President, Robert Ashcroft called KDog into his office. Robert announced that the GCA Commonwealth Championship would finally have a holder.

Chris Diamond would then defeat; Dante, Cam Doyle, Evan TNT, Brad Skeens, Alex Razor, Ray Lorenzo and Gran Machismo in the Battle Royal to gain the other spot. On the May 12 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, the following week, Chris Diamond would approach KDog backstage before there title match attempting the world of mind games. This attempt was just that, an attempt because KDog brushed it right off and told Diamond where to go. Later that same evening, KDog defeated Chris Diamond in the show's main event to become the inaugural GCA Commonwealth Champion.**

**On the May 19 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, just one week after KDog claimed the inaugural GCA Commonwealth Championship, there seemed to be a target on his back. On this night KDog went up against Rovhan Amoathyn in a No Holds Barred match. Mid-way through the match Gran Machismo came out into the arena with the intention of distracting KDog. This distraction seemed to put KDog off his game for a second giving Rovhan the advantage. Amoathyn walked away with the win! The GCA WrestleVerse would then witness both Rovhan and Machismo shake hands at the end of the bout showing the GCA WrestleVerse the new alliance between the two. On the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, the GCA WrestleVerse witnessed a brief conversation between Gran Machismo and Rovhan Amoathyn backstage in the parking lot. It would be revealed that the two have been frustrated with there place within the company and were ready to take there place in glory! They also revealed that the first stop to this glory would be the GCA Commonwealth Championship. Later that same evening Gran Machismo (accompanied by Rovhan) went one on one with the GCA Commonwealth Champion, KDog. Machismo would ultimately win the match placing him into the title picture.**

**On the June 7 it was announced via the official Global Creations Alliance Twitter page that Gran Machismo would be going for KDog's GCA Commonwealth Championship at Annihilation-X. On the June 9 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Gran Machismo had some strong words for KDog and his reign as champion when he grabbed a microphone and went in front of the GCA WrestleVerse. Later that same evening, KDog was defeated by Rovhan Amoathyn once again. After the match Rovhan ambushed KDog with a post-match attack.**

#### **The Oil Rig Roughnecks (c) vs. Los Jefes Latinos**

**On the May 12 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, the GCA World Tag Team Champions, The Oil Rig Roughnecks (Rig and Danger Duke) went up against the GCA Global Champion, Yuri The Reaper and Pacman Jackson of The Tribe in some great tag team action! However, before the match the newest team to the GCA tag team division known as Los Jefes Latinos which consists of (Jesus Perez and Machete) made a pre-match ambush on the champions before they got to the ring! Although, they were attacked pre-match, The Oil Rig Roughnecks still managed to defeat the two members of The Tribe. After the match, the roughnecks briefly celebrated there victory until Los Jefes Latinos came back again once more to ambush the champions! On the May 19 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Rig went up against Jesus Perez in a singles match! To get revenge for the two ambushes a week prior, Rig ran into the ring with only one objective in mind which was to ambush Jesus Perez! This objective worked briefly until Perez turned the match around to then ultimately win the match up. Although, one half of The Oil Rig Roughnecks lost, the other half in Danger Duke confronted the other half of Los Jefes Latinos in Machete! This hostile confrontation would lead to a brutal backstage brawl between the two which Duke would then win. Making the result at the end of the show one/one.**

**On May 25, Jesus Perez released a promo video aimed at The Oil Rig Roughnecks. The GCA World Tag Team Champions, didn't take to kindly to this. On May 31, Danger Duke pitched an idea to the GCA Founder/President, Robert Ashcroft over Twitter, asking for a non-title tag team match against the Los Jefes Latinos for the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*. The stipulation pitched was that If The Oil Rig Roughnecks win they get to choose the stipulation of there match at Annihilation-X and if the Los Jefes Latinos win they get to choose. Mr. Ashcroft would then accept and booked the match.**

**On the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, the match was set. After a abrupt match start, The Oil Rig Roughnecks defeated the Los Jefes Latinos via count-out meaning they were able to choose the stipulation of the match. On June 3, Rig announced on behalf of his team that the match stipulation they have chosen is a Hell in a Cell match. On the June 9 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, both teams were given the night off but the GCA WrestleVerse still witnessed both teams backstage all gearing up for there major GCA World Tag Team Championship match the next day in Auckland, New Zealand!**

#### **James Frost (c) vs. Osiris**

**On the April 28 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, James Frost defeated Osiris in the championship unification main event to not only defend his GCA Honor Championship but gained the GCA Battlefront Championship to. The GCA Battlefront Championship was retired once it unified with the Honor Championship. On the May 5 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, James Frost made his way to the ring to let the GCA WrestleVerse know what was on his mind. "The Clutch Performer" would let the people know that he wasn't impressed with Osiris's actions after his match with Seto Wreck at War Of The Realms. Osiris would then interrupt Frost with a hostile attitude. Not allowing "Everyone's Favorite Action Hero" to continue it started to get heated. The events ended abruptly when Osiris delivered a uncalled for low blow on the champion! Later that same evening, they were placed against each other once again. Osiris would interfere Frost's entrance beginning the match prematurely. However, "The Clutch Performer" turned the match around and would ultimately win the match.**

**On the May 12 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, James Frost would once again make his way in front of the GCA WrestleVerse with a microphone. Not only was he there to speak directly to Osiris but he managed to get the GCA WrestleVerse excited for the Battle Of The Brands: GCA vs. RWA collaboration event that occurred on May 13th. Later that same evening on May 12, Osiris made an unwelcome appearance in the GCA President/Founder's office. Robert Ashcroft was not impressed with this. Osiris was outraged with the popularity of James Frost. Osiris also believes that Frost is the chosen one and is Favorited by management. Robert Ashcroft stopped Osiris in his tracks and put him in his place. Mr. Ashcroft there and then booked another match between the two for the May 19 edition of *GCA Wrestling*. After the that show, Robert Ashcroft took to Twitter to announce that the match between Frost and Osiris set for May 19 wouldn't be any old match up. He announced that the two would compete in a Steel Caged, Knockout match. This match type had only been done once before between Professor Buzzard and Arian Barrios at No Where To Run. On May 19 before the show, Robert Ashcroft once again took t Twitter and added another stipulation to the Frost vs Osiris, Steel Caged, Knockout Match. If Osiris won he would be allowed to challenge James Frost for his GCA Honor Championship at Annihilation-X. Half way through the show, Osiris had a backstage interview with the new interviewer Jeremy Franklin. Osiris was overly confident, coming across as cocky to the GCA WrestleVerse. However, he made himself heard, loud and clear. Later that evening on May 19, Osiris knocked out James Frost to win the match and the opportunity for a shot a the GCA Honor Championship. When "The Clutch Performer" was being taken away on a stretcher, Osiris would ambush a delirious James.**

**On the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Frost came back in front of the GCA WrestleVerse to discuss the happenings of the Steel Caged, Knockout match that happened two weeks prior. He made his feelings perfectly clear. He also told the GCA WrestleVerse that he had an appointment with the GCA medical team to determine if he was physically able to compete. Later that evening, while on his way to his medical appointment with GCA doctors, Osiris would once again return to under-handed tactics by attacking Frost before he got to his appointment. Osiris would continue to beat down the GCA Honor Champion backstage until he was once again knocked out. On the June 9 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Osiris had his second backstage interview with Jeremy Franklin. Osiris let the GCA WrestleVerse know that he wasn't afraid of facing James Frost's pal and the GCA Global Champion, Yuri The Reaper. He actually went onto disrespect "The Clutch Performer" some more and then started on Yuri. Later that evening, Yuri The Reaper (accompanied by James Frost, Pacman Jackson and Kari Hanson) defeated Osiris. Osiris is now scheduled to challenge James Frost for the GCA Honor Championship at Annihilation-X. Has he bitten off more than he can chew?**

#### **Women's Annihilation Chamber Match**

**Melissa McNeil vs. Codie Hale**

**At the War Of The Realms special event on April 29, 2018, after defeating Kiara White and unifying the GCA Wildcat Championship with the her GCA Women's Championship, Melissa McNeil was celebrating her historic win. However, her 'best friend' in Codie Hale ambushed Melissa, establishing herself as a heel in the process. She took McNeil down with a chair shot then applied her Guillotine Choke on her.**

**On May 4, it was announced that GCA Management had ordered Codie Hale to make a public speech on why she did what she did. If she didn't comply she would have forfeited her opportunity at the GCA Women's Championship. On the May 5 edition of *GCA Wrestling,* Codie made her way to the ring in front of the GCA WrestleVerse and cut a very hostile promo towards Melissa and her team One Hive. Later that evening, Kiara White made her way into the new Executive Of The GCA Women's Division, Lori Love's office. Kiara expressed her concerns of Codie's new attitude. In the main event, Codie Hale got her owed opportunity at the GCA Women's Championship. Codie defeated Melissa McNeil in a great one on one match to become the new GCA Women's Champion. After celebrating her victory, Codie decided to throw Melissa McNeil into the steel steps. On the May 12 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Codie Hale made her way to the ring for her self-thrown "Coronation Celebration". She went on about how she deserves respect and tried to control the GCA WrestleVerse. However, Melissa would then interrupt. She attempted to appeal to her better nature but this just made Codie much more hostile. Before a brawl broke out between the two, Lori Love quickly intercepted on TitanTron saying If they were to brawl there and then that she would have them both removed from the arena. Lori then announced a tag team match. It would be Melissa McNeil and Kiara White vs. Codie Hale and Marilynn Marie. Later that evening this match took place. The team of Codie and Marilynn were successful when they picked up the victory. On the May 19 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, we found ourselves backstage with Melissa McNeil. Turns out she was sneaking around backstage. She sneaked over to Codie's locker room where Hale and Marie were talking about match tactics for Marilynn's match later that evening against Kiara White. McNeil listened in on there plan then delivered there plan to Kiara giving her the intellectual advantage going in. Later that evening Kiara White (accompanied by Melissa McNeil, Britney Quinn and Kari Hanson) defeated Marilynn Marie (accompanied by Codie Hale) in a great match. It seems that Melissa's sneaky tactics and Kiara's great in-ring ability worked very well together.**

**On May 27, it was announced that Melissa had gone to Lori Love and cashed in her rematch clause for the GCA Women's Championship. However, she used it to secure her spot in the inaugural women's Annihilation Chamber match which is for the GCA Women's Championship! On the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Codie Hale made her way to the ring ready for a match with Melissa, However, she grabbed a nearby microphone before McNeil could make her entrance. She then lectured the GCA WrestleVerse. She spoke a big game all ready for Annihilation-X, again taking shots at Melissa McNeil. After she had finished, Melissa's music hit and she ran down to the ring with all her frustrations and jumped the champion! Melissa would then go onto dominate the entire match. She would then ultimately be the winner. Later that evening, Codie took to social media asking for the referee's decision to be reversed as she wasn't ready. The following week on the June 9 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Melissa was all set to face Kiara White in a friendly bout. However, when Kiara came out she wasn't alone. It turns out Codie had ambushed her backstage and dragged her out then pushed her to the ground. This lead to a match between Codie and Melissa being started. Codie would then ultimately win this bout.**

**Other Female Competitors**

**On the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*,** **Rachel Walker defeated Akane Suzuki to advance into the Women's Annihilation Chamber match.** **On June 6, it was announced that not only will Rachel Walker be apart of the Women's Annihilation Chamber match but Kiara White to. Kiara would be the fourth woman to be added. On the June 9 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Amaya Blaze and Zynda Cruz defeated Alisha Von Michaels and Itzel Santos in a Tornado Tag Team, Extreme Rules match. This was believed to persuade Lori Love's decision in adding them into the match. On June 10 before Annihilation-X, Lori Love revealed that Amaya Blaze and Zynda Cruz had been added to the Women's Annihilation Chamber match.**

#### **Hade Mercer & Beauchamp vs. The Senate**

**On the May 5 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Beauchamp was all set to face Professor Buzzard in a normal singles match. However, after Beauchamp made his way to the ring, Professor Buzzard appeared on the TitanTron, mocking Beauchamp along with playing mind games. It turns out he had pulled some strings and got Ace from his team known as The Senate to compete instead. Beauchamp then took on Ace one on one in a losing effort. On the May 12 edition of *GCA Wrestling;* the following week, Beauchamp was again scheduled to go against Buzzard one on one. However, yet again he appeared on the TitanTron mocking Beauchamp. Instead he sent out Doctor Vulture, (the other member of The Senate). However, the result this time was different. Beauchamp would go onto defeating Doctor Vulture who was accompanied by Ace. Beauchamp's celebrations were cut short when Doctor Vulture and Ace decided to start a beat-down on Beauchamp. However; before they could beat Beauchamp with a steel chair, to the surprise of the GCA WrestleVerse, Beauchamp's former arch-rival Hade Mercer made the save! Which led The Senate to flee the ring.**

**On the May 19 edition of *GCA Wrestling*,** **Beauchamp caught Hade Mercer backstage and demanded some answers from him. Hade Mercer explained that he needed help against three other superstars. Mercer also wanted to put there differences aside to take on The Senate. A hesitant Beauchamp finally agreed. Later that evening, the team of Beauchamp and Hade Mercer took on Ace and Doctor Vulture in some tag team action. Professor Buzzard accompanied both Ace and Doctor Vulture but even though he was a manager, he still played some dirty tactics in the match. The Senate would then pick up the victory. On the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Beauchamp and Hade Mercer would temporarily argue about the results of there match two weeks prior, but Mercer managed to calm the situation. The two came up with a new plan. Later that evening Hade Mercer (accompanied by Beauchamp) took on Doctor Vulture (accompanied by Ace and Professor Buzzard). Buzzard would again involve himself in the match in sneaky ways. Vulture would then pick up yet another victory over the duo. On the June 9 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, Professor Buzzard interfered Beauchamp's entrance when he was on his way to the ring to face Tommy Blaze. Professor Buzzard was then removed by security so the match could go on. Although ambushed, Beauchamp still managed to pick up the victory. Later that same evening, Hade Mercer took on Ivan Maverick (accompanied by Rachel Walker and Vavien White) in some singles action. Mercer on the other hand lost his match. After The Masquerade finished there celebration and were out of the ring, Hade was trying to compose himself. Then suddenly, Professor Buzzard jumps him and then throws him out the ring. Where once he was up, Doctor Vulture kicked him in the head with Ace finishing him off with a left hook. Beauchamp was nowhere to be seen which made the GCA WrestleVerse talk among themselves and ask questions.**

#### **Men's Annihilation Chamber Match**

**On May 28 it was announced via the Global Creations Alliance's official Twitter page that the GCA Global Championship will be defended in the main event of the upcoming GCA special event known as Annihilation-X. The match it will be defended in would be the inaugural men's Annihilation Chamber Match. As Yuri The Reaper is Global Champion, he gets the first sport which left five more remaining.**

**On the June 2 edition of *GCA Wrestling*, the GCA Founder/President, Robert Ashcroft announced in a backstage interview the next two competitors who would be competing in the Men's Annihilation Chamber Match. The competitors announced were R3DD and Ivan Maverick. This means only three more spaces were available. Before the June 9 edition of GCA Wrestling, Robert announced he had some important information to announce in front of the GCA WrestleVerse. One of those things was the next challenger who will be competing in the men's Annihilation Chamber Match. Later that evening this challenger in question was announced to be Johnny Kidd. With Kidd as the fourth competitor, this left two more spaces for the match. Before the Annihilation-X event on June 10, it was announced via the Global Creations Alliance's Twitter page that the final two competitors entering the men's Annihilation Chamber match would be announced before the match. It was then announced that the GCA Founder/President; Robert Ashcroft and this Mystery GCA Investor would both choose one wildcard superstar each to fill up the final two spots.**
