Welcome...to The Gauntlet.
1. SasoriOrange and OushiBlack vs AbareKiller and KibaRanger
After the Trios Championship tournament, GokaiSilver, AbareKiller, and KibaRanger failed to become the Gauntlet Trios Champions. However, because of their good performance, they were given a chance to become the next challengers for the Tag Team Championship. All they had to do was win against the current champions, SasoriOrange and OushiBlack.
First, SasoriOrange and OushiBlack made their entrance. They were the current tag team champions, and when they made their entrance, they both held up the Tag Team Championship belts for everyone to see. AbareKiller and KibaRanger, to AbareKiller's entrance music, made their entrance next. AbareKiller was one of the more powerful fighters in The Gauntlet, but he hadn't won any championships yet. Would this change if the Six Squad became the next challengers to the Tag Team Championship?
The match started with SasoriOrange and AbareKiller in the ring. SasoriOrange knew how powerful AbareKiller was, so he decided to attack quickly. SasoriOrange charged at AbareKiller and attacked him with several powerful strikes, but AbareKiller was able to dodge them. He then took down SasoriOrange with a kick to the head. AbareKiller then tagged in KibaRanger, and the two of them began attacking SasoriOrange. AbareKiller then left the ring, while KibaRanger stayed in the ring. He was about to pin SasoriOrange, but then he got up and tagged in OushiBlack.
OushiBlack then picked up KibaRanger and finished him with a fireman's carry slam. OushiBlack then went for the pin.
1...2...
KibaRanger kicked out and punched OushiBlack in the face, before tagging in AbareKiller. AbareKiller then locked OushiBlack into the heel hook, his submission finisher. OushiBlack was trying to escape, but barely managed to get to the ropes in time. AbareKiller then intercepted OushiBlack, ready to put him into piledriver position, but luckily, SasoriOrange went into the ring and superkicked AbareKiller. AbareKiller then rolled out of the ring, so KibaRanger could get in. KibaRanger charged at OushiBlack, trying to go after his leg (which was sore from the heel hook), but OushiBlack lifted KibaRanger up and dropped him from midair. OushiBlack then went for the pin.
1...2...3!
SasoriOrange and OushiBlack win by pinfall.
After the match, SasoriOrange and OushiBlack then got the tag team championship belts back.
"What you just saw..." SasoriOrange said, "was the most powerful tag team in The Gauntlet defeating another tag team. We already took down LupinRed and Patoren1, we beat the Mach Patrol in a ladder match, and now this!"
"This is a challenge to any tag team," OushiBlack said. "If you want a shot at the tag team championship, we're having an open challenge next week. We'll take on any team, no matter how many teams accept!"
Meanwhile, backstage, Anti-Kuroninja was meeting with Shironinger, who was feeling a little down after she and Momoninger failed to win the Women's Tag Team Championship from ChameleonGreen and WashiPink. Anti-Kuroninja revealed that he had asked the general manager, Space Sheriff Gavan, for a match against the Go-on Wings. Shironinger was very shocked, and didn't really like Anti-Kuroninja's idea, because the Go-on Wings were one of the best mixed tag teams besides any mixed tag team involving Kuroninja. Anti-Kuroninja said that he was going to prove that he and Shironinger would make a great mixed tag team.
2. Anti-Kuroninja and Shironinger vs the Go-on Wings
Anti-Kuroninja had scheduled this match to prove that he and Shironinger had good chemistry. However, because of how the Go-on Wings were one of the best mixed tag teams in The Gauntlet and the first ever Mixed Tag Team Champions, if Anti-Kuroninja and Shironinger won, it would automatically make them the next challengers to the Mixed Tag Team Championship, currently held by Kuroninja and LupinYellow.
First, the Go-on Wings made their entrance. Go-on Silver was the Gauntlet Women's Champion, while Go-on Gold didn't have any titles. However, both of them were very skilled in mixed tag team matches. Anti-Kuroninja and Shironinger then made their entrance together next, to Anti-Kuroninja's entrance music. Shironinger didn't really like Anti-Kuroninja that much, but decided to agree with him in this match so that Anti-Kuroninja would bother her less. Normally Anti-Kuroninja was a commentator, but now he was slowly starting to get back into fighting again.
Anti-Kuroninja and Go-on Gold started in the ring. Somehow, Anti-Kuroninja was doing better than before, having trained for this match. Unfortunately for him, Go-on Gold had more experience, and countered all of Anti-Kuroninja's moves. Go-on Gold then trapped Anti-Kuroninja in the ropes, and then took him down with a 619. Go-on Gold then went to the top rope and dove off, hoping to finish this early.
1...2...
Anti-Kuroninja then kicked out. Go-on Gold was surprised and tagged in Go-on Silver. Both go-on wings charged at Anti-Kuroninja, who quickly ran away and tagged in Shironinger. Shironinger then clotheslined both of them, and then went for Go-on Silver. She then dragged Go-on Silver to her corner and tagged in Anti-Kuroninja, and the two of them took down Go-on Silver with an aided sit-out powerbomb. Anti-Kuroninja then went for the pin.
1...
Go-on Silver then kicked out, and then took down Anti-Kuroninja with a series of punches. Go-on Silver then climbed up to the top rope and tagged in Go-on Gold at the same time. Go-on Silver dove off the top rope, but missed. This caught Go-on Gold by surprise, who then got finished off by a discus lariat from Anti-Kuroninja. Anti-Kuroninja then quickly pinned Go-on Gold in the center of the ring.
1...2...3!
Anti-Kuroninja and Shironinger win by pinfall.
Anti-Kuroninja and Shironinger had won against the Go-on Wings. Because of how impressive they were against one of the best mixed tag teams in The Gauntlet, that meant that Anti-Kuroninja and Shironinger could now challenge Kuroninja and LupinYellow for the Mixed Tag Team Championship.
3. Kamen Rider Rogue vs Kamen Rider Kurokage
Kamen Rider Kurokage was already in the ring. Kamen Rider Rogue was going to show a new power he got while waiting in the sidelines. He hadn't been doing anything interesting, almost being forgotten, but now he had returned as Kamen Rider Prime Rogue.
Kamen Rider Rogue made his entrance in his new Prime Rogue form. He walked to the ring, ready to take on Kamen Rider Kurokage.
Kamen Rider Kurokage charged at Rogue, who dodged the attack. He then grabbed Kamen Rider Kurokage's arm and took him down with a two handed chokeslam. Kamen Rider Rogue then picked up Kamen Rider Kurokage again and took him down with another chokeslam. Then he went for the pin.
1...2...3!
Kamen Rider Rogue wins by pinfall.
This new Kamen Rider Rogue was prepared to return to Rider-Division Championship level.
Meanwhile, Kamen Rider Zi-O, the new Rider-Division Champion, was walking to the entrance, but this time, no one was with him. He was looking around for Kamen Rider Geiz, who wasn't there with him. Zi-O then decided to go by himself. Meanwhile, DekaBreak and Kamen Rider Mach overheard everything and decided to look for Geiz themselves.
Kamen Rider Mach then saw Kamen Rider Geiz, who was knocked out and put into a janitor's closet. He was unconscious, but nobody knew who attacked him.
4. The King of the Rider-Division's Open Challenge
Kamen Rider Zi-O, the new Rider-Division Champion, made his entrance, holding up the Rider-Division Championship for everyone to see. Kamen Rider Zi-O's goal was to become the king of The Gauntlet's Kamen Rider Division. However, he felt like he needed to show that he was worthy of being the king, which is why he made this open challenge. Kamen Rider Zi-O challenged anyone to take the title.
Kamen Rider Specter, who represented the Underworld faction, then made his entrance, and by doing so, he accepted the open challenge.
Kamen Rider Zi-O put the title belt down and charged at Specter, who took Kamen Rider Zi-O down with a suplex. Kamen Rider Specter then went to the top rope and jumped off, diving onto Kamen Rider Zi-O. Kamen Rider Specter then went for the pin.
1...2...
Kamen Rider Zi-O kicked out and fought back, trying to take down Kamen Rider Specter with a series of punches, but Kamen Rider Specter grabbed Zi-O's fist and took down Kamen Rider Zi-O with a lariat. Kamen Rider Specter then picked Kamen Rider Zi-O up and attacked with a series of punches of his own. Kamen Rider Zi-O tried to take down Kamen Rider Specter, but Specter dodged all the punches. He then got Kamen Rider Zi-O into a corner and went to take him down with a running knee strike, but then Kamen Rider Zi-O rolled out of the way and took Kamen Rider Specter down with a codebreaker. Kamen Rider Zi-O then prepared his finisher. Kamen Rider Specter got up, but ended up on the receiving end of the Timestopper. Zi-O then went for the pin.
1...2...3!
Kamen Rider Zi-O wins by pinfall and retains the Rider-Division Championship.
Kamen Rider Zi-O had successfully defended his Rider-Division Championship in his first open challenge.
Kamen Rider Zi-O walked to the back, when he noticed someone. It was a newcomer to The Gauntlet, Kamen Rider Woz, and he offered to become Kamen Rider Zi-O's manager, promising to help Zi-O become the king of the Kamen Rider Division.

First, Kuroninja made his entrance with LupinYellow, followed by the rest of the Lupinrangers and Patoren1. Kuroninja Gold and his followers then made their entrance next.
The match started with KabutoRaiger and LupinRed in the ring. The bell rang, and KabutoRaiger charged at LupinRed. LupinRed then did a front flip over KabutoRaiger, who headed face-first into the corner. LupinRed then got KabutoRaiger and took him down with a DDT. LupinRed then went for the pin.

KuwagaRaiger, however, was able to break out by hitting Patoren1's arm. KuwagaRaiger then took down Patoren1 with a superkick and tagged in KyoryuBlack.
