During the Ranger/Rider Rumble, 30 fighters entered, hoping to earn a shot at the Ultimate Championship at Ultimate Gauntletmania. However, only one fighter made it out with the victory. That fighter was Kuroninja, and he will be facing Houou Soldier for the Ultimate Championship at Ultimate Gauntletmania.
Meanwhile, Kamen Rider Zi-O was very close to winning the Rumble, but Lord Drakkon, who wasn't part of the match, entered the ring and cost Kamen Rider Zi-O his victory. HurricaneRed, the All-Star Champion, who is currently undefeated in The Gauntlet, has offered Kamen Rider Zi-O a title shot to make up for what Lord Drakkon did during the Ranger/Rider Rumble. Will Kamen Rider Zi-O be able to defeat HurricaneRed and win the All-Star Championship?
Welcome...to The Gauntlet.
OPENING: Kuroninja's victory in the Ranger/Rider Rumble
The night started with Kuroninja, who walked to the ring with his new entrance music and new form that he debuted in the Ranger/Rider Rumble. Kuroninja was carrying a kendo stick in one hand and a red glowstick in the other. He put the kendo stick down and picked up a microphone.
"Hey guys," Kuroninja said, "it is I, the winner of the Ranger/Rider Rumble and Houou Soldier's challenger at Ultimate Gauntletmania: KURONINJA!"
Almost everyone cheered for Kuroninja.
"You might be confused with this new look," Kuroninja said, "so I'll explain. I've known Houou Soldier ever since he debuted in The Gauntlet about 2 years ago. He also helped me defeat Lord Drakkon during my casket match against him last Ultimate Gauntletmania...and now, he has a legendary title reign. However, all legends must come to an end, and Houou Soldier has been holding the belt for way too long! I know he won't give up the belt that easily, which is why I introduced a new finisher in the Ranger/Rider Rumble. Once I hit this new finisher on Houou Soldier, I will bring forth a brand new morning to The Gauntlet, when I become the next Gauntlet Ultimate Champion!"
Houou Soldier made his entrance next, with the Gauntlet Ultimate Championship around his shoulder. He held the title up for everyone to see before joining Kuroninja in the ring. He was about to speak, when suddenly, Akuroninja and DSR appeared and walked to the ring.
"This isn't happening," Akuroninja said. "We're here to get the title shot that I deserve more than Kuroninja!"
"But you lost the Ranger/Rider Rumble," Kuroninja told Akuroninja.
"Yes, we lost," Akuroninja said, "but it was only because there were too many Kyurangers in the ring! The En4cers only had TWO entrants in the Ranger/Rider Rumble, while other factions such as the Six Squad, the Underworld, and the Kyurangers get to have more spots in the Rumble! Ever since Ryu Commander became the general manager, the En4cers have been overlooked in favour of the Kyurangers! In fact, look who's standing before us now, as our Ultimate Champion!"
"Hey Akuroninja," Houou Soldier said, "you had a title shot against me before, and you lost. But how about this...me and Kuroninja will be teaming up later tonight, right before the main event...and if you and DSR win against the two of us, then I'll get Ryu Commander to add you to the title match at Ultimate Gauntletmania."
"Deal," Akuroninja said.
Meanwhile, backstage, Ryu Commander was being interviewed about what Akuroninja said. Ryu Commander said that the En4cers were known for playing dirty, and he knew that they would play dirty in the match, which is why Sasori Orange was going to be at ringside for Kuroninja and Houou Soldier's match against Akuroninja and DSR.
