BTWF Trouble in Tokyo (Day 2 Part 1)
'Kingslayer' by Bring Me the Horizon and BABYMETAL played throughout the arena, causing the crowd to explode and chant 'BTWF!' as pyro went off on the stage. The camera panned around the Tokyo Dome, showcasing the massive sea of humanity in the audience here to watch some BTWF action. The camera then panned to the commentary team as Matt Striker looked on and nodded.
"Welcome to Trouble in Tokyo Day 2 ladies and gentlemen! From the legendary Tokyo Dome, I'm Matt Striker alongside my broadcast colleagues Kotoko Iwanaga and Bob Belcher!" Striker introduced as Bob and Kotoko waved at the crowd.
"Thanks for the introduction, Matt! We have a jam-packed show for you tonight, featuring an Ultraviolent Rules Match for the Hardcore Championship, Katsuki Bakugo defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Zancrow, and the main event of Lucy Heartfilia defending her BTWF Women's Championship against 'Amazing' Agent Luna!" Kotoko exclaimed as Bob nodded in response.
"And in the main event, not only is Luna's job on the line but so is her father and fellow broadcast colleague Dr. Andrew Collins' job," Bob explained as 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played in the arena, causing the crowd to boo as an exasperated looking Dipper came out, hugging the International title close to his chest.
"And speaking of championship action, we have our International Championship match kicking off Trouble in Tokyo!" Striker exclaimed as Dipper started walking to the ring, yelling at the booing crowd as he continued making his way to the ring, patting his International Championship while still hugging it.
"Dipper has been stressing himself out for weeks over who this #1 contender for his championship could be, and we're about to find out who it is tonight!" Kotoko exclaimed as Dipper rolled into the ring, and continued to hug his championship as he climbed up to the top rope, and glared at the booing crowd.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the BTWF International Championship! Introducing first, from Gravity Falls Oregon, he is the BTWF International Champion, 'Badass' Dipper Pines!" Tim Barr announced as Dipper climbed back down from the top rope and waited for his contender.
"I am curious as to who Sunny Bridges got to face Dipper Pines for the International Championship," Bob explained as the lights in the arena went out. The crowd started cheering again as spotlights appeared on the center of the stage before a man appeared on the stage, and with his back facing the crowd, he extended his fists out.
"Who could this man be? He appears to become the #1 contender," Kotoko explained as Austin Aries' WWE theme song started playing, and the lights in the arena came back on with the spotlights disappearing. When the camera panned to the blonde man facing away from the crowd, he turned around and started fist-pumping, causing the crowd to explode as the man was revealed to be Edward Elric.
"Oh my God! What a coup from Sunny Bridges! Edward Elric, one of the best wrestlers in the Japanese circuit! And Dipper looks absolutely shocked!" Striker exclaimed as Dipper looked at the stage with his mouth agape. However, the crowd booed as while Elric was making his way to the ring, Gaara ran out of the back and hit him with a Bicycle Kick to the back of the head.
"What the hell!? What the hell is Gaara doing out here!?" Kotoko asked in shock as Gaara grabbed Elric by the hair and started elbowing him in the back of the head before throwing him into the minitron, causing the crowd to boo louder as security came out to try and separate the two men. However, Gaara pushed some of the security away from him before grabbing Elric and started punching him in the face before picking him up by his jacket.
"Elric is a bloody mess now, and Dipper is practically catatonic in fear!" Striker exclaimed as Gaara noticed the set of tables near the tech area, and much to the crowd's chagrin, Gaara threw Elric off of the stage, sending him through multiple tables in the tech area. Gaara smirked at a frightened Dipper before making his way to the ring.
"And now Gaara's coming down to the ring. If I were Dipper, I'd get the hell out of dodge," Bob explained as Gaara grabbed the referee and handed him a piece of paper before letting him go and heading to Tim Barr. Gaara grabbed Barr by the front collar and told him to introduce him as Dipper's opponent. Barr looked at the referee, who after looking over the paper Gaara gave him, nodded.
"And his opponent, from the Sand Village, Gaara!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd booed. Gaara pushed Tim Barr away before Dipper attempted to run out of the ring with the International title, but Gaara grabbed him by the back of his tights and threw him back into the ring before yelling at the referee to ring the bell. The referee nodded, and instructed the timekeeper to ring the bell, causing the crowd to boo as Gaara headed towards Dipper.
"And Gaara has taken Edward Elric's spot in this International Championship match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Dipper turned around and got on his knees to beg Gaara off. However, Gaara pulled him back to his feet by his hair and started hitting multiple headbutts to his face before throwing him into the corner. Gaara started punching Dipper in the chest and his face before running the ropes and hitting him with a Discus Clothesline in the corner.
"And Gaara starting this match, completely dominating the International Champion!" Striker exclaimed as Gaara picked Dipper up, and hit him with a Running Powerslam. Gaara then did the throat slit taunt, causing the crowd to boo before he went to the corner, waiting for Dipper to get back to his feet. When Dipper got up, Gaara attempted to hit a Bicycle Kick onto Dipper, but Dipper was able to duck and hit Gaara with a dropkick to the back that sent him into the corner. Dipper then started stomping and punching Gaara in the face and the chest, causing the crowd to surprisingly cheer him as Dipper started beating his chest and roaring.
"Dipper hitting Gaara with punches and kicks, trying to damage the big man!" Kotoko exclaimed as Dipper attempted to run into the corner with a corner clothesline, but Gaara ran out of the corner, hitting Dipper in the face with a 360 Bicycle Kick. The crowd booed as Gaara started playfully kicking Dipper in the side of the face, before running the ropes again and hitting Dipper with another Bicycle Kick to the face.
"I think Gaara has completely knocked Dipper unconscious with these kicks to the face!" Bob exclaimed as Gaara picked Dipper up by the hair, and put him in an Argentine Backbreaker position. The crowd booed as Gaara walked around the ring with Dipper on his back, and hit him with the Sands of Time (Burning Hammer) before putting his foot over Dipper's chest to signal a pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and the new BTWF International Champion, Gaara!" Tim Barr announced as Gaara threw Dipper out of the ring as he grabbed the International Championship from the ring attendant. Gaara lifted the International title over his head as the crowd continued to boo while Dipper rolled all over the outside, holding his head and face in pain.
"Gaara completely took over this match and became the new International Champion!" Striker exclaimed as Gaara yelled at the booing crowd while celebrating with the International Championship. However, the crowd started cheering as back on the stage, a bloody Edward Elric pushed medical personnel away and started limping his way to the ring.
"Gaara absolutely destroyed Dipper to win the championship, but it looks like Edward Elric is not done!" Kotoko exclaimed as the crowd continued to cheer as Gaara turned around and smirked at a limping Edward Elric. Gaara pushed the referee out of the way and invited Elric to enter the ring, and much to the crowd's delight, Elric slid into the ring.
"This probably isn't the best idea, but Edward Elric is a proud man, so I doubt any of us could stop him," Bob explained as Edward put Gaara in a front facelock and started clubbing Gaara in the back. The crowd cheered as Gaara tried to push Elric away, but Elric started punching Gaara in the face until he went into the corner. Elric did not stop punching Gaara until he kicked Elric in the balls, causing the crowd to boo as he crumpled to the ground.
"And Gaara just ended Elric's flurry right as it started with a punt kick right to the family jewels!" Striker exclaimed as the crowd continued to boo as Gaara started stomping on Elric's back before security and Sunny Bridges started running down to the ring. However, Gaara picked Elric up in an Argentine Backbreaker position and hit a bloody Edward Elric with a Sands of Time (Burning Hammer).
"Gaara's reign of terror in the BTWF has come to a head as not only did he dismantle one of our newest Superstars, but also won the International Championship!" Kotoko exclaimed as Gaara rolled out of the ring with his International Championship, causing the crowd to boo as he raised the title over his head, and did the slit throat taunt to the crowd as he walked to the back.
"I don't know how Gaara is officially the BTWF International Champion, but hopefully we'll get some answers soon," Bob explained as the camera panned to the backstage area, where Melissa Shield was standing next to Izuku Midoriya.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the man who will go up against Pete Corvus in an Ultraviolent Rules Match for the Hardcore Championship. Now, I wanted to get your thoughts on how you're feeling given Corvus' assault on your mother," Melissa asked as the #1 contender. Midoriya took several deep breaths before he began talking.
"I'm feeling more focused than I ever have for a title match. Yes, this includes my matches with Bakugo. I fully expect someone like Bakugo to do something horrible like that, but I didn't think someone could be as horrible as him. Corvus proved me wrong, and I guess that's why he joined the NWO," Midoriya explained as he shook his head at the thought of all he had gone through with Bakugo before returning to the interview.
"My mother is going to be at the event. I told her not to come, but…she insisted that she wanted to see me whoop Corvus' ass. And, I wouldn't want to disappoint my mother," Midoriya said as Melissa nodded before putting the microphone closer to her mouth.
"You've never been in these types of stipulation matches here. Corvus has been a part of matches like these for years. How have you planned to battle Corvus in his wheelhouse?" Melissa asked.
"The funny thing is…I don't have a plan," Midoriya said, causing Melissa to look at him in shock.
"Yeah…I don't have a plan for this match other than beating Corvus. I realized that if I wanted to beat Corvus in a match like this, coming up with a strategy would be pointless. Who can predict what types of weapons will be available in the match? So, I'm going to go in there with no plan and open a can of whoop-ass on Corvus," Midoriya explained before walking away from the interview area as the camera panned to the stage. "Hero" by Issues played, causing the crowd to cheer as Hitman and Mirio came out of the back with huge smiles on their faces.
"The following contest is an 8 man tag team match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring first, the team of Mirio Togata and 'Ace' Hitman Jones!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to cheer when Hitman got on one knee on the stage as Mirio Togata posed behind him flexing his arms as pyro went off behind them.
"This duo, despite still not being able to come up with a name for their team, has won the hearts and minds of the BTWF fans," Kotoko explained as the crowd continued to cheer while Hitman and Mirio hi-fived fans on their way to the ring. Hitman then motioned Mirio to kneel closer, allowing him to whisper into Mirio's ear. The crowd cheered as Mirio nodded and turned his back to the ring and cupped his hands together.
"It looks like Hitman and Mirio have something big planned here for this entrance," Bob noted as Hitman ran near Mirio and jumped up, landing on Mirio's hands. Mirio then elevated Hitman into the ring, allowing him to roll on his back before landing on his feet, causing the crowd to cheer as Mirio followed him into the ring. TM-61's 'Stand Tall' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer louder as Tanjiro and Ganta came out of the back.
"And their partners, from Japan, the team of Tanjiro Kamado and Ganta Igarashi, The Japanese Destroyers!" Tim Barr announced as Tanjiro went down to one knee, and clapped both of his hands together as Ganta raised his fist after kissing it. The crowd chanted for the Japanese Destroyers as Tanjiro got back to his feet and made their way to the ring, hi-fiving their fans on their way to the ring.
"A hero's welcome for the Japanese Destroyers, as they make their way down the ramp here in the Tokyo Dome!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro stopped Ganta, hi-fived him, and ran to the ring, rolling underneath the bottom rope to get into the ring. Tanjiro and Ganta hi-fived and shook hands with Hitman and Mirio before Tanjiro kneeled back to one knee and clapped his hands again.
"Tanjiro and Ganta also excited for their first major PPV for an American wrestling company," Kotoko responded as 'Young' by Hollywood Undead played, causing the crowd to boo as Gray and Lyon came in blue and white tracksuits. The two glared at the wrestlers in the ring as they raised their fists in the air as the crowd continued to boo while they started walking to the ring.
"And their opponents first, from Fiore, the team of Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, Fiore's Top Team!" Tim Barr announced as Gray and Lyon stopped halfway across the entranceway, before DJ Yugi came out with a microphone, much to the crowd's chagrin.
"Bow bow bow bow! Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to all of you, now residing in the best place in the entire world New Jersey, Tristan Taylor and Joey Wheeler, the Yu-Gi-Bromans!" Yugi announced causing the crowd to boo as the Broman's theme song played as Tristan and Joey came out of the back, fist-bumping each other multiple times before fist-bumping Yugi.
"The Yu-Gi-Bromans have been thorns in the side of the Japanese Destroyers since they came to the BTWF," Striker explained as Joey and Tristan attempted to fist-bump Gray and Lyon, but the two shook their heads and started walking to the ring. Joey and Tristan shrugged before following them with DJ Yugi arguing with the booing fans.
"These two teams are looking to use these popular up and coming tag teams to get back on track when it comes to their win-loss records and championship contender status," Kotoko explained as Gray and Lyon rolled into the ring simultaneously, kipping up to their feet, taking their tracksuits off, and throwing them into Mirio and Hitman's faces, causing the crowd to boo. Tristan, Joey, and Yugi hit each other with a triple fist-bump before Joey and Tristan slid into the ring and started yelling at the Japanese Destroyers.
"That's right, Kotoko, and Fiore's Top Team is showing complete and total disrespect to Mirio and Hitman," Bob explained as the referee separated both teams before ringing the bell. Lyon Bastia and Tanjiro Kamado began the match, with the crowd cheering as Lyon and Tanjiro locked up in the middle of the ring. Lyon and Tanjiro tried to push each other off of each other, but neither man would give an inch to the other. Tanjiro was able to hit a Japanese Arm Drag onto Lyon, sending him down to the ground as the crowd cheered.
"Tanjiro getting the first hit on Lyon, and the crowd loves it!" Striker exclaimed over the crowd continued to cheer as Tanjiro smack talked at Lyon to get back up. Lyon did and tried to punch Tanjiro in the face, but Tanjiro responded with multiple right-handed jabs to the face before putting him in an armlock. Tanjiro pushed Lyon into the corner and tagged Ganta into the match, causing the crowd to explode as the two hit a double hammerlock back suplex before Ganta put Lyon back in a hammerlock.
"Ganta keeping the offense focused on the arm, which can prevent Lyon from hitting his Reverse DDT and Sharpshooter finisher," Striker explained as Lyon got back to his feet, and attempted to elbow his way out of the hammerlock, but Ganta turned himself around to put Lyon in a front facelock and attempted to hit him with a suplex, but Lyon was able to keep his feet on the ground and attempted to hit Ganta with his own suplex, but Ganta planted his feet on the ground and started kicking Lyon in the legs before running the ropes, and hitting Lyon with a running dropkick to the face.
"And Ganta with the running dropkick right to the face!" Bob exclaimed as Ganta attempted to grab a hammerlock, but Lyon pushed him away and tagged Tristan into the match. Tristan attempted to hit a clothesline onto Ganta, but Ganta countered with multiple Japanese Arm Drags, multiple knife-edge chops, and then threw him into the corner. The crowd cheered as Ganta tagged Hitman into the match, allowing the two to hit a double suplex onto Tristan before Hitman hit a jumping leg drop across Tristan's throat. Hitman then pulled Tristan to a seated position, allowing Ganta to run the ropes and hit a running dropkick to the side of Tristan's head before going for the pin.

"What a head rocking dropkick to Tristan by one-half of the Japanese Destroyers!" Kotoko exclaimed as Hitman picked Tristan up and started hitting him with multiple knife-edge chops to the chest before running the ropes and hit him with a springboard back elbow from the middle rope before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
Hitman attempted to grab Tristan again, but Tristan kicked Hitman in the knee, causing the crowd to boo as Tristan got back onto his feet and put Hitman in a side headlock before walking to the corner and tagging Joey back into the match. The crowd booed more as Joey kicked Hitman in the gut while Tristan still had him in the headlock. Joey grabbed Hitman by his hair and hit him with a couple of elbows to the back of the neck before throwing him into the corner. Joey started fist-pumping in the corner before running into the corner with a jumping corner clothesline, but Hitman was able to dodge the move and roll Joey up with a school boy.
Ref: 1…
"Hitman almost snuck a pin there! But Joey is still able to kick out," Bob explained as Joey got back to his feet, and attempted to punch him in the face, but Hitman ducked out of the way and hit him with a kick to the side of the head before hitting him with a Single Knee Facebuster. The crowd cheered as Hitman springboarded onto the 2nd rope, tagged Tanjiro back into the match, and hit Joey with a Springboard Stunner.
"Hitman with a stunner onto Joey Wheeler! But Tanjiro looks like he's got something else for Joey!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro springboarded into the ring before hitting him with a springboard dropkick onto Joey. The crowd continued to cheer as Tanjiro Irish whipped Joey into the corner before hitting a Handspring Back Elbow onto Joey. Joey then staggered out of the corner, and Tanjiro ran the ropes, hitting him with a spinning heel kick before dragging him to the center of the ring and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"What a combination of moves by Tanjiro! They may not have been enough to put Joey away yet, but the crowd is loving it!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tanjiro put Joey in a headscissors and tagged Ganta back into the match. Tanjiro let go of Joey and picked him up, allowing Tanjiro and Ganta to hit two kicks to the back of Joey's legs. The two then ran the ropes and hit a dropkick to the front and back of the head of Joey before Ganta turned Joey around and went for another pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Ganta is back in this match, nearly taking Joey's head off with a running dropkick to the back of the head!" Bob exclaimed as Ganta picked Joey up and started hitting him with multiple forearms to the face before running the ropes. However, Joey was able to throw Ganta over the top rope, but he was able to land on the apron. However, Lyon attempted to run at Ganta, but Ganta knocked him off of the apron with a Superkick to the face.
"Ganta with a superkick to the face, knocking Lyon right off the apron!" Striker exclaimed as Joey attempted to run at Ganta, but Ganta kicked Joey away. However, Joey grabbed onto the referee's shirt, distracting him as DJ Yugi grabbed Ganta's right foot, causing the crowd to boo as Tanjiro started kicking Yugi in the face until he let go. This allowed Joey to run at Ganta with a running double ax handle, sending him falling back first onto the floor.
"And thanks to some timely interference by DJ Yugi, Joey knocks Ganta right down onto the floor!" Kotoko exclaimed as the crowd booed as Joey continued to distract the referee. While he did, DJ Yugi started stomping on Ganta's back, and Lyon grabbed Ganta and threw him into the steel steps. Tanjiro and Mirio came running towards DJ Yugi and Lyon, but the referee returned his attention to the outside as Joey rolled out of the ring.
"Thankfully, Tanjiro and Mirio are there to prevent any more interference from DJ Yugi," Bob explained as Joey picked Ganta up and hit him with multiple punches to the face before hitting him with a Snake Eyes on the steel ring apron. The crowd continued to boo as Joey threw Ganta back in the ring, before kicking him in the side of the head. Joey grabbed Ganta's right arm and kicked him in the gut a couple of times before tagging Gray into the match. Joey grabbed Ganta by his hair, and held his arms from behind, allowing Gray to hit him with multiple knife-edge chops.
"Some surprising teamwork shown by Fiore's Top Team and the Yu-Gi-Bromans given their cold interaction earlier during their entrances," Striker noted as Joey grabbed Ganta by the neck and slammed his back onto his knee before pushing him into Gray's waiting arms, allowing him to pin Ganta with a Northern Lights Suplex.

Gray grabbed Ganta by the hair and started giving him multiple forearms to the face before picking him up and hitting him with a snap suplex.

Hitman and Ganta attempted to get into the ring, but the referee stopped them, allowing Gray and Tristan to stomp and punch Ganta's head.
"And that surprising teamwork is continuing behind the referee's back to ensure Lyon keeps the advantage in this match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lyon ran at a downed Ganta with a running dropkick to the chest before dragging him to the center of the ring and going for the pin.

Joey then started fist-bumping in front of the babyface team before grabbing Ganta and putting him in a rear chinlock, causing the crowd to boo as Ganta tried to escape the hold. Ganta immediately tried to get back to his feet, but Joey was able to take him back down with a Russian Legsweep, keeping the chinlock locked in.
"Very nice strategy by Joey, keeping Ganta down to prevent any kicks or high flying moves," Bob explained as Ganta started elbowing Joey in the face, causing the crowd to cheer as he was able to get back to his feet after a minute in the hold.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the team of Mirio Togata, Ace Hitman Jones, Tanjiro Kamado, and Ganta Igarashi!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to cheer loudly as Ganta rolled into the ring and hugged Mirio in the middle of the ring. Mirio lifted Ganta up and put him on his shoulders, allowing Ganta to flex along with Mirio as the crowd chanted for Mirio and the Japanese Destroyers.
"Mirio gets the win for his team with that thunderous Tour of the Islands!" Striker exclaimed as Tanjiro and Hitman rolled back into the ring, and participated in a group hug with Mirio and Ganta. Ganta got off of Mirio's shoulders and raised Tanjiro's hands. Meanwhile, Yugi got back to his feet and tried to help Joey up.
"It's back to the drawing board for the Bromans and Fiore's Top Team, as they came up just short in this match," Bob explained as Joey and Yugi rolled Tristan out of the ring and started helping Tristan to the back. When they noticed Gray and Lyon getting back to their feet, Yugi and Joey started yelling at Gray and Lyon about costing them the match as the Japanese Destroyers, Mirio, and Hitman continued celebrating in the ring.
"And it looks like that loss has created some tension between the Bromans and Fiore's Top Team," Striker pointed out as Tanjiro and Ganta leaned over the ropes and started mocking the Bromans on their loss. The crowd continued to cheer as Mirio lifted Hitman over his shoulders, and they both flexed at Fiore's Top Team, causing the argument between the two heel teams to grow in ferocity.
"The tag team division on Intensity is getting more intense by the day if these four teams are any evidence," Kotoko explained as the camera panned to the backstage interview area, where Chika Fujiwara was standing outside Lucy Heartfilia's locker room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here in front of Lucy Heartfilia's locker room. In the main event of tonight's show, she will go one on one with 'Amazing' Luna Collins to defend her BTWF Women's Championship, and I'm going to try and get some final words before the match," Chika explained as she knocked on the door. After a moment, Lucy Heartfilia opened the door and glared at Chika.
"What do you want…whatever your name is?" Lucy asked through grit teeth, with the BTWF Women's Championship over her shoulder, and a half-drunk glass of champagne in her right hand.
"My name is Chika Fujiwara, and I'm here to ask you if you have any final thoughts heading into your title match where the Conglomerate have been banned from the building, and if you win, Luna and her adoptive father Dr. Andrew Collins will be fired from the BTWF?" Chika asked as Lucy rolled her eyes and chuckled before leaning towards the microphone.
"First of all, it's not a matter of 'if'; it's a matter of 'when'. And WHEN I beat Luna tonight and retain my championship, I'm going to throw her the biggest retirement party for her and her loser adopted Dad. In fact, I was browsing some good caterers for the party that I'm planning for them," Lucy exclaimed with a smirk as Chika raised an eyebrow and pulled the microphone closer to her mouth.
"But what do you plan on doing if Luna wins?" Chika asks as Lucy glared at Chika and kissed her championship before pushing Chika away from her.
"It's not going to happen, and for asking that stupid question, you're not going invited to the retirement party," Lucy responded before slamming the door in Chika's face. Chika sighed and started walking away before Kilik Rung came up in a suit and smirked at Chika, holding her hand in his.
"Hey there beautiful, what're you doing here?" Kilik asked as Chika tried to get out of his grasp. Chika sighed as she was about to speak, but Kilik stopped her and grabbed the microphone. "I just wanted to make sure everyone is prepared for when my boys in the Nation 2.0 win the tag titles from those two losers Robbie and Thompson. Are you ready?" Kilik asked as Chika looked at Kilik nervously and nodded.
"Good, because with the Nation at ringside, there's no way the Brotherhood are going to retain their championships," Kilik explained as he walked off before the camera panned to the stage, as 'Can You Feel My Heart?' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to cheer as Blake Belladonna ran out of the back and jumped on the air, before landing on the floor after multiple flips on her feet.
"The following contest is an inter-promotional match scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Menagerie, Remnant, Blake Belladonna!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to cheer as Blake ran to the ring, extending her right arm so that she could hi-five the fans. Blake then slid underneath the bottom rope back first before kipping back up to her feet and jumping onto the middle turnbuckle.
"Blake has challenged a member of another wrestling company to a match here tonight. And with our crossover show with LWF Reborn on Wednesday, one would have to believe that one of their women has come to challenge Blake," Striker explained as the crowd continued to cheer as Blake jumped up to the top rope and shot both of her fists in the air as 'Id (Purpose)' from Fire Emblem Awakening played, causing the crowd to cheer as Lucina came out of the back, causing the crowd to cheer.
"And her opponent, representing FEWS (Fire Emblem Wrestling Sector) and the Brave Heroes, Lucina!" Tim Barr announced as Lucina hi-fived fans on her way to the ring as Blake looked interested in her opponent. Lucina looked into the ring and nodded at Blake before running to the ringside area and jumping onto the apron. This made it so Lucina was staring face to face with Blake, causing the crowd to too as Blake beckoned her into the ring.
"It's Lucina from FEWS! If our fans remember, she was part of an eight-woman tag match with her partner Lyn, and her team was victorious against the BTWF Women's Tag Team Champions!" Kotoko exclaimed as Lucina springboarded into the ring and flipped right in front of Blake, causing the crowd to cheer as she extended a hand out.
"And the Women's Tag Team Champions are best friends with Blake Belladonna, well maybe more than friends when it comes to Yang, so you know that she has revenge on her mind," Bob responded as Blake shook Lucina's hand before the referee separated them into different corners while the crowd continued to cheer.
"Bob, as an announcer, you should know better than to spread unfounded gossip like that," Striker reprimanded as once the referee made sure both women were ready, she rang the bell. The crowd cheered as Lucina and Blake went to the center of the ring and circled one another, waiting for another to make the first move. Lucina slowly lifted one of her hands up, and Blake followed suit, trying to grab onto her hand. Lucina then lifted her right hand up, and Blake caught it, causing the crowd to cheer as Blake pushed Lucina down to her knees.
"You're going to talk to me about unfounded gossip Mr. Laycool Fanboy?" Bob countered as Lucina took Blake down with a Drop Toe Hold, and put her in a headlock, causing the crowd to cheer before Blake wriggled out of the hold, and put Lucina in a Hammerlock. The crowd was chanting for both women as Lucina got back to her feet and attempted to elbow Blake in the face, but Blake took Lucina down with a Fireman's Carry Takedown and put Lucina back into a hammerlock.
"While you two are bickering like a couple of kids, we have Blake showing how versatile she is in the squared circle, showing off some technical prowess we haven't seen out of her yet," Kotoko explained as Lucina dragged herself to the ropes, forcing the referee to interject and break the hold. The crowd cheered as Lucina got back to her feet, holding her aching arm as Blake gave her light applause. Lucina nodded before she grabbed Blake's right arm, and attempted to take her down with an arm drag, but Blake was able to stay on her feet and send Lucina down with an arm drag.
"Wow! You're certainly right Kotoko, these two women are dead even in the early goings of this match!" Striker exclaimed, impressed by the wrestling he was seeing. Blake attempted to run at Lucina, but she countered with an arm drag of her own and attempted to put her in an armbar, but Blake got back onto her feet and hit multiple knife-edge chops to Lucina's chest before Irish whipping her into the ropes. However, Lucina was able to duck out of the way of an attempted leg lariat, and ran at Blake, taking her down with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, causing the crowd to cheer as Lucina patted herself on the back.
"Blake and Lucina continuing to struggle to gain the advantage in this match," Kotoko explained as Lucina attempted a jumping elbow drop, but Blake moved out of the way. The crowd continued to cheer as Blake ran the ropes, and when Lucina staggered back to her feet, Blake hit her with a big boot to the face. Blake then ran the ropes and hit a leg drop across Lucina's throat before going for a pin.

"Once again, Lucina kicks out at 1, telling Blake that she will not go down so easily!" Striker exclaimed as Blake waited for Lucina to get up, and when she did, Blake attempted to clothesline her out of the ring, but Lucina was able to dodge. The crowd continued to cheer and chant for both women as Lucina kicked Blake in the back of the leg multiple times until Blake was the one leaning towards the ropes. Lucina then ran the ropes and attempted to hit a running big boot to Blake's head, trying to send her over the top rope, but Blake was able to grab her leg and throw her onto the floor.
"Oh! Blake threw Lucina over the top rope, with her back and the side of her leg landing on the padded concrete floor!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake looked on at Lucina, who was trying to pull herself back to her feet with the fan barricade. When Lucina staggered back to her feet, Blake ran the ropes, and much to the crowd's delight, hit a flipping senton over the top rope and onto Lucina, sending her back down as the crowd chanted for Blake.
"And a running senton over the top rope, sending Blake crashing right into Lucina!" Bob exclaimed as Blake picked Lucina up, and positioned her in a leaning position on the fan barricade. The crowd cheered as Blake started kicking Lucina in the chest multiple times before attempting a jumping spin kick to the face. However, Lucina was able to dodge, and before Blake could respond, pushed Blake into the steel ring post face first as the referee began to count them out.
Ref: 1…2…3
"Oh! And Lucina pushed Blake right into the steel ring post head first! That's going to have to disorient the Black Cat!" Striker exclaimed as Lucina grabbed Blake and started punching her in the face before dragging her by the hair to the announcers' table. The crowd cheered as Lucina started slamming Blake's face into the announcers' table multiple times before pushing her in front of the ring apron.

"Very nice crossbody by Lucina, but Blake is still in the match," Kotoko explained as Lucina grabbed Blake and started punching her in the face before picking Blake up and hit her with a spinning kick to the gut, and then ran the ropes to hit a running knee to Blake's face, which sent her staggering into the corner. Lucina ran into the corner with a running dropkick right to Blake's face before putting Blake in a front facelock and climbing up to the top rope to hit Blake with a Diving Tornado DDT.

"Lucina taking Blake down with that Leaping DDT! That cannot be good for Blake's neck!" Striker exclaimed as rather than go for a pin, Lucina grabbed Blake and put her in the sleeper hold.
"And Lucina trying to put Blake to sleep! I would have gone for a pin, but this is just as effective if she can keep it on long enough," Bob explained as Blake tried to pull herself away from Lucina, but Lucina was able to wrap her legs around Blake's midsection as Blake starts falling to her knees.

*Bell rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Blake Belladonna!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd cheered while the referee raised Blake's arm. Blake then let go of the referee and ran up to the top rope, shooting both of her arms up in the air as the crowd continued to cheer and chant for her.
"A huge win for Blake here on PPV, defeating another company's star in this inter-promotional match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Blake noticed that Lucina was pulling herself back to her feet using the ropes. Blake jumped off of the top rope and walked over to Lucina, who looked at Blake suspiciously as Blake extended a hand out.
"Blake showing some respect towards Lucina, and I'm not surprised given the fight and resilience Lucina showed in this contest," Striker explained as Lucina looked around at the cheering crowd, and back at Blake's serious face. Lucina sighed and nodded before shaking Blake's hand before patting her on the back and walking out of the ring.
"Lucina reciprocating the respect Blake is showing with a hearty handshake," Bob explained as guitar strums started reverberating around the arena, causing the crowd to give a mixed reaction as Jiro Kyoka started walking down the ring while playing on her guitar.
"Blake that was a fantastic victory over…whoever that is. I mean, if it were me, I would've beaten her as fast as Gaara won the International Title earlier tonight," Jiro started. Blake and Lucina glared at Jiro as she continued to strum some notes on her guitar as she walked closer to the ring.
"See, I've been off of BTWF TV for a month, recording my new album, which will be out soon by the way. But while I was recording some music, I kept hearing about you. 'Blake' this, 'Blake' that, and quite honestly, I'm pretty annoyed by it," Jiro explained as she stopped at ringside and strummed a few more notes on her guitar before noticing that some people in the crowd were chanting for her to sing.
"Oh, you guys want a song?" Jiro asked, causing the crowd to give a mixed reaction, mostly cheers, as she walked up the steel stairs with her guitar in hand.
"Well, that's too bad. My throat is a bit sore from recording my amazing new album, and I can't risk losing this angelic voice of mine," Jiro replied, causing some of the crowd to boo as she glared at Blake.
"But Blake, I want you to continue celebrating this little win of yours because when I get you in the ring, the only one who'll be celebrating is me. But before I let you continue your victory celebration, let me give you something to think about," Jiro explained before picking up her guitar and smashing Lucina in the face with her guitar, causing the crowd to boo as Blake tackled Jiro to the ground and started punching her in the face.
"Jiro assaulting FEWS' Lucina with her guitar, and Blake sent her to the ground!" Striker exclaimed as Jiro raked Blake's eyes before rolling out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo as Blake and the referee looked over Lucina as Jiro started yelling at Blake and telling her that she was going to end her career before it began.
"Jiro making a statement upon her return, and that statement was that she's not going to let Blake take her spot on the Intensity Women's roster," Kotoko explained. The camera then panned backstage, where a pink-haired woman named Homura Momiji was doing multiple chin-ups while a blonde woman named Kohaku was counting how many chin-ups she was doing.
"345…346…347…348," Kohaku counted before Homura got down from the makeshift chin-up bar, and started breathing heavily.
"348 chin-ups, Homura. Not bad, not bad at all," Kohaku said, as Homura looked up at Kohaku and smirked at her as she took a swig of water.
"You think you can do better?" Homura challenged with a smirk on her face. Kohaku smirked back and rubbed her hands together in excitement.
"Oh yeah, check it!" Kohaku replied as she ran towards the chin-up bar, and started doing chin-ups, counting herself before Homura turned to the camera.
"Teamwork is all well and good, but it helps to keep a competitive spirit in and out of the ring," Homura explained as Kohaku started laughing, causing Komura to look over at Kohaku who was doing chin-ups as quickly as she could.
"Hey Homura, I'm already up to 20 chin-ups! You scared I'm going to get more than you!?" Kohaku playfully mocked with a smirk on her face, causing Homura to smirk at Kohaku and give her a knife-edge chop to the chest.
"Oh please, Kohaku! You're just losing energy doing it that fast, so my victory is all but assured," Homura playfully bragged as Kohaku laughed the chop off and continued performing chin-ups as Homura continued the count from '20'.
