But fuck that noise, a new faction arrives to take control of the Federation. The Ustabiaz consists of mercenaries and free agents, lead by Takahata101 of the Team Four Star PMC, and featuring legendary superstar Brennan Williams, and the dirtbag turncoats Cranky and Plague. Taka lays claim to the ZWF for the TFS Empire, enraging Mr. McMuscles enough to make him break his phone with his grip.
The Ustabiaz make a name for themselves by calling out the ZWF's top tier superstars. Woolie, still packing for his return, sees Brennan on TV and is crippled by inadequacy. Pat and Uncenable enter the ring and are soundly defeated by Cranky and Plague. The latter two explain that they're tired of not being given the spotlight and, thus, desire to replace Pat and Uncenable when Taka takes over the company.
The Ustabiaz (intentionally mispronounced as the Usta-bays by their huge female fan following) quickly become fan favourites in the ZWF, making the prospect of facing them again even more bleak for our heroes. Luckily, week two sees Mr. McMuscles giving an epic inspirational speech to Pat and Uncenable before their match, in which they promptly get their shit pushed in.
Morale is low at the ZWF as various members of the roster defect to the Ustabaiz, leaving only the core three, Zach, Agent Francis York Morgan, Max and interviewer Hitomi J-Cup. Even co-commentator Super Bunnyhop defects due to frustration over the constant accusations of him practising the ancient tradition of blackface.
By week three, it becomes clear that the Ustabiaz has the crowd on their side for the upcoming match at the pay-per-view, whose name was voted for by fans: Ustabiaz Takeover. During the tag match between Pat & Uncenable and Cranky & Plague, in which the Ustabiaz are dominating, the lights go out suddenly. When they return, El Woolio is standing in the middle of the ring. He easy dispatches the Ustabiaz competitors and forces them to flee.
Woolie explains that he spent some time learning to harness the power Rage used after the soul transfer, and spends the next week teaching the other three how to do the same. Neither team competes in week four, but training montages are shown with DBZ music for the Ustabaiz and Mick Gordon for the Zaibatsu.
The PPV arrives and the two teams enter the ring. Being a tornado tag (a misnomer, as the match involves no actual tagging, nor tornadoes), all eight competitors pair up and duke it out:
Mr. McMuscles Vs Takahata101
Cactus Pat Vs Plague of Gripes
El Woolio Vs Brennan Williams
Uncenable Vs Cranky Construct
The battle is gruelling, but all four members of the Zaibatsu faction are able to overcome their opponents. Mr. McMuscles offers Takahata a hand, which he takes. The latter then explains that the entire incident was part of the Z3 plan: an orchestrated recreation of the Yo! Wrestling Alliance arc to test whether or not the Zaibatsu are ready to face the threat to come.
