The crowd chanted for both the BTWF and LWF: Reborn as the pyro spread through the edges of the entranceway before the pyro stopped as the camera panned to the announcers' table.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the BTWF and LWF: Reborn crossover show! I'm Mauro Ranallo alongside my broadcast partners, Mirajane Strauss and Dr. Andrew Collins, whose daughter saved his job last night!" Mauro exclaimed as he shook Andy's hand before giving Andy the floor.
"Thanks for the introduction, Mauro. I just wanted to say that I'm proud of Luna winning the championship at Trouble in Tokyo, but right now, we have a big show ahead of us," Andy responded as the Motor City Machine Guns' theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Alex Shelley came out of the back, smirking at the crowd before showing off his abs by moving his jacket out of the way, and then blew kisses at the camera before starting his walk to the ring.
"And speaking of this show, Andy, we already have our first match coming up!" Mirajane exclaimed as Shelley started hi-fiving the fans before he pointed at his palm, causing the crowd to cheer louder as he continued hi-fiving the fans. The crowd cheered as Shelley ran to the ring and jumped onto the ring apron, turned towards the fans, and once again pointed at his palm before climbing up to the top rope.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, representing the LWF: Reborn, from Detroit Michigan, he is one half of the Motor City Machine Guns, Alex Shelley!" Jeremy Borash exclaimed as Alex Shelley shot both of his fists up, causing the crowd to cheer before he backflipped off of the top rope and into the middle of the ring.

"One half of the Motor City Machine Guns and one half of the Time Splitters, Alex Shelley is here! Alex Shelley is in the conversation of one of the best tag team wrestlers in the recent generation!" Mauro exclaimed as 'MANTRA' by Bring Me the Horizon played, causing the crowd to boo as Mercury Black came walking out of the back with his head down and his hood on.
"And his opponent, representing the BTWF and the NWO, from The Remnant, Mercury Black!" Jeremy Borash exclaimed as Mercury took his hood off, and shot his head up, causing pyro to go off from around the TitanTron. The crowd continued to boo as Mercury started strutting to the ring with confidence and a smirk as he looked at a confident and ready Alex Shelley. Mercury stopped walking and pointed at Shelley before he started talking trash to Mercury.
"The NWO did not have the best night at Trouble in Tokyo, to say the least, so Mercury Black is trying to get a win for the NWO by defeating one of the best tag team wrestlers of the recent generation," Andy explained as Mercury walked to the ringside area, rolled underneath the ring, and then climbed up to the top rope, as the referee pushed Alex Shelley back to prevent him from confronting Mercury.
"Can you imagine how important a win over someone like Alex Shelley would be for Mercury Black's career, and the reputation of NWO?" Mirajane asked as Mercury outstretched his arms, causing the crowd to boo louder as he climbed back down. Mercury walked up to Shelley and started arguing with him, and Shelley started arguing back with him, and the referee tried to push the two men back to separate them.
"It would be a statement win for the young Mercury Black. But I'm afraid that if he did win, we'd never hear the end of it," Andy responded as the referee was finally able to separate Shelley and Mercury. The referee checked both Mercury and Shelley and made sure that they both were ready, the referee rang the bell, causing the crowd to cheer as Mercury and Shelley immediately met in the center of the ring and locked up. The crowd cheered as Shelley was able to push Mercury into the corner, and attempted to hit him with a punch, but Mercury ducked. Shelly smirked and sent Mercury down with a snapmare, and put him in a headlock, as the crowd continued to cheer Shelley.
"Shelley using his years of experience in the ring to take Mercury down with a snapmare before putting him in a headlock," Mauro explained as Mercury immediately started getting back up to his feet, and attempted to hit him with multiple elbows to the gut, but Shelly grabbed Mercury's arm, and hit him with an arm drag, and then attempted to put him in a headlock, but Mercury was able to slip out of the headlock and put Shelley in a hammerlock, causing the crowd to boo. Mercury started slapping Shelley in the back of the head, but Shelley was able to hit Mercury with a legsweep before putting Mercury in an armbar.
"Mercury needs to not let his overconfidence take over, as Shelley has been in the ring for long enough to know how to counter something like a Hammerlock," Mirajane explained as the crowd cheered as Shelley slapped Mercury in the head back before picking him up and attempting to put him in an abdominal stretch, but Mercury sent Shelley down with a hip toss. Mercury attempted to pick Shelley up, but Shelley kicked Mercury away with both of his feet before getting back to his feet and hitting Mercury with a Hurricanrana before rolling up for a pin.

"Shelley has been dominating this match so far, and we have to attribute that much to his experience in the ring," Mirajane noted as Shelley hit Mercury with a clothesline hard enough to send Mercury falling onto the apron. Shelley winked at the crowd before jumping up onto the apron and waited for Mercury to get up on his feet. Shelley then ran at Mercury, and hit him with a Running Hurricanrana off of the apron, causing the crowd to cheer loudly as Mercury hits his back and sides into the fan barricade.

Ref: 1…2.
"For a high flyer like Alex Shelley, having his chest targeted like that can really affect your breathing, which in turn, can prevent him from hitting his high-flying moves with as much force as he would like," Andy explained as Mercury got back to his feet and started stomping on Shelley's chest before picking him up and hitting him with a scoop slam.

"What a statement victory by the young Mercury Black!" Andy exclaimed as Mercury rolled out of the ring, and walked up to the announcers' table, telling them that the NWO was going to be running things around here and that Trouble in Tokyo was just a speed bump. Shelley rolled out of the ring with a hand over his chest, as he continued to breathe heavily to get the oxygen back that he lost during the match.
"If you all didn't just hear what Mercury told us, he said that the NWO was going to start running the BTWF. If the NWO keep getting wins like that, then they may be right," Mirajane explained as Mercury started walking to the back, with his fist raised in the air. The crowd continued to boo him, causing Mercury to start arguing with the fans as he made it to ringside, where Alex Shelley was continuing to try and catch his breath.
"The crowd is really letting Mercury have it, and he looks mad that they're ruining what he perceives to be one of the biggest moments of his career," Mauro explained as Mercury laughed at a coughing Alex Shelley before walking up the entrance ramp. Shelley shook his head in frustration as he nodded at some of the fans who clapped for him, and made his way up the entrance ramp before the camera panned to the backstage area, where Jack Korpela was standing next to Sonata Dusk.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with LWF: Reborn superstar, Sonata Dusk, who will be facing Erza Scarlet later tonight. Now Sonata, I was wondering if you had anything to say about your match," Korpela explained as Sonata nodded, and leaned closer to the microphone.
"I'm looking to prove that I can beat Erza. The last time we fought on LWF, Adagio interfered and cost me the match. Tonight, things are going to go a little differently, with my hand being raised in victory," Sonata explained as Korpela nodded and moved the microphone closer to his mouth.
"Now, what do you have to say to Adagio who has been hounding you for a rematch against you?" Korpela asked as Sonata sighed and moved the microphone closer to her mouth.
"She needs to learn to let go and accept the fact that I beat her. Adagio can whine, bitch, complain and attack me with her pet Neo all she wants, but I am done with her. I'm moving on, and want to focus on adding championship gold to my list of accomplishments. And that starts with beating Erza in the middle of the ring tonight," Sonata explained before she turned away and went back to her locker room. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'In the Middle of It Now' by Disciple played, causing the crowd to boo as Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, and Trent Barretta came out of the back.

The three made it to ringside and gave each other a triple fist bump before running into the ring from underneath the bottom rope.
"Trent has said that Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder are more than friends, that they are family, and are worth more to him than Chuck Taylor ever was," Mirajane explained as Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins climbed up to the top rope as Trent got in the middle of them while standing on the canvas. Zack Ryder gave the 'LI' sign, while Curt outstretched his arms while his fists were clenched. Trent then raised his fist up with a smirk on his face, as the crowd continued to boo before Hawkins and Ryder jumped off of the top rope.
"These three have trained together in New York for years, so they have to be highly confident in their wrestling abilities," Andy explained as Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson's WWE theme song played, causing the crowd to cheer as Robbie and Thompson walked out of the back with Jonah Von Bruken following them.
"And their opponents, representing the BTWF, the team of Jonah Von Bruken, and the BTWF Tag Team Champions, Robbie and Thompson!" Jeremy Borash announced as the tag team champions fist-bumped each other, as Jonah ran underneath their arms, and fist-bumped them before the three made their way to the ring.
"Robbie and Thompson coming into this match not at 100% after their grueling championship match against the Nation of Domination 2.0 at Trouble in Tokyo," Mauro explained as Jonah, Robbie, and Thompson started hi-fiving fans. Robbie and Thompson stopped at ringside, took the BTWF Tag Team Championships off of their waists, and raised the championships over their heads as Curt and Trent started mocking Robbie and Thompson while Zack kept an eye on Jonah, who was running around ringside, giving hi-fives to as many fans as he could.
"Curt Hawkins specifically requested this match, because he wants to show Chuck Taylor that they are a force to be reckoned with," Mirajane explained as Thompson and Robbie rolled underneath the bottom rope, and gave their titles to the referee while Jonah jumped on the apron. The crowd cheered as the three men went to talk about strategy, while Curt, Trent, and Zack were looking at them with no worry visible on their faces.
"They don't seem all that worried about this, but you have to remember they're going up against the BTWF Tag Team Champions and a former International Champion, so they won't be in for a walk in the park," Andy responded as the referee checked to see if both teams were ready. When he was sure that they were, the referee rang the bell, with Robbie and Curt Hawkins starting the match. The crowd booed as Curt patronizingly patted Robbie on the top of the head, and then slapped him in the face, before putting him in a headlock.
"Curt putting Robbie in a headlock early on, which is a smart strategy to slow down the faster and more high flying Robbie," Mauro explained as the crowd cheered as Robbie slipped out of the hold, and started punching Curt in the face before Irish whipping Curt into the ropes, and when he rebounded, Robbie sent Curt down with a dropkick.

"Ryder and Hawkins getting into the ring, preventing a possible match-ending pinfall by Thompson!" Andy exclaimed as Jonah ran back into the ring, and grabbed Ryder by the hair to throw him out of the ring. However, Ryder landed on his feet and pulled Jonah out of the ring so that he could punch him in the face multiple times. Jonah pushed Ryder away and hit him with a couple of European Uppercuts before Robbie springboarded into the ring with a Hurricanrana onto Hawkins, sending him out of the ring. Robbie then waited for Hawkins to get back to his feet, and when he did, Robbie ran the ropes and attempted to hit a Suicide Dive, but Hawkins was able to grab Robbie and slam him into the announcers' table with a Snap Powerslam.
"Oh! Hawkins sent Robbie into our announcers' table with a Snap Powerslam! That can't be good for the back!" Mauro exclaimed as Hawkins started yelling at his face before going back to the apron, but Thompson grabbed him by the hair and slammed him in the chest with a powerful knife-edge chop, that sent Hawkins staggering off of the apron. However, Trent took advantage of this by hitting multiple running knees to Thompson's back before clubbing him in the back repeatedly, but Thompson pushed him back, and hit him with a rough knife-edge chop to the chest, causing the crowd to cheer and wince.
"A WALTER-like chop by Thompson sends Trent onto his knees!" Mirajane exclaimed as Thompson picked Trent up, and threw him into the corner before hitting him with multiple running corner body avalanches before hitting him with a one-handed spinebuster. Meanwhile, on the outside, Jonah attempted to Irish whip Ryder into the steel steps, but Ryder reversed the Irish whip, sending Jonah chest first into the steel steps before knocking him down with a neckbreaker.
"Ryder taking Jonah out of the match using the steel steps to his advantage!" Andy exclaimed as Ryder climbed up to the top rope, and when Thompson turned around, Ryder dived off of the top rope and hit him with a Radio Silence (Jumping Leg Lariat), causing the crowd to boo as Thompson was knocked down. Ryder smirked at Trent as he pulled Thompson onto all fours by his hair, and Trent responded with a nod before running at him and hitting him with a Gobstopper Running Knee to the side of the head.
"And a running knee right to the side of Thompson's head, rattling his brain in the process!" Mauro exclaimed as Trent ran the ropes and hit another Gobstopper knee onto Thompson before going for a pinfall as Zack kept an eye out for anyone who would try and break up the pin.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, representing LWF Reborn, the team of Trent Barretta, Zack Ryder, and Curt Hawkins!" Jeremy Borash announced as Trent got up and hugged Ryder while the crowd booed them and chanted that they sucked. Trent rolled his eyes at the crowd before he and Ryder rolled out of the ring to check on Curt Hawkins, who was still breathing heavily from the chop earlier.
"LWF Reborn has gained a point in this PPV by winning this six-man tag team match!" Andy exclaimed as Jonah staggered into the ring with his hand over the back of the head to check on Thompson before Trent and Ryder helped Hawkins up and continued to celebrate their victory on the outside as the crowd continued to boo. Robbie rolled off of the announcers' table and looked disappointed that he and his team lost.
"And not only that, but they got a victory over the BTWF Tag Team Champions, which bolsters their case for being one of the top teams in LWF: Reborn," Mauro explained as Curt and Trent started yelling into the camera that they were the best of the best. They also started making fun of Chuck Taylor while Ryder was yelling at the booing crowd. Robbie staggered into the ring, joining in with Jonah in checking on Thompson, who had lifted himself up in a seated position with his hand over his head.
"I wonder how Chuck Taylor will respond to the bragging by Trent Barretta, Curt Hawkins, and Zack Ryder," Mirajane pondered out loud as Jonah and Robbie helped Thompson to his feet. Hawkins, Ryder, and Trent continued to yell into the camera before the camera panned to a locker room, where Manny Rivera was sitting in the locker room, taking a few deep breaths before glaring at the camera.
"While I was sitting on the sidelines injured, the BTWF moved on without me. New champions, new superstars, new commentators, more viewers on national television, and all that. You know what? That's fine," Manny said before taking a sip of water from a bottle in his hand. Manny then shook his head and threw the bottle across the room.
"That's because it means that more people are going to watch my rise to the top! Valentino can have my sloppy seconds, and you all can laugh at me all you want, but it won't matter when I'm standing on top of the BTWF. Espera y mira que pasa cuando subo la cima!" Manny yelled in Spanish before smirking and turning the camera away from him. The camera then panned to the stage, where 'I Am Perfection' by Cage9 played, causing the crowd to boo as Asuka and Alexis came out walking and laughing while Erza stomped her way to the ring with a glare on her face.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, being accompanied to the ring by Asuka Langley Soryu and Alexis Rhodes, representing the BTWF and the Beautiful People, from Magnolia Fiore, she is Erza Scarlet!" Jeremy Borash announced as the crowd continued to boo when Erza, Alexis, and Asuka rolled into the ring and started basking in the booing crowd before Asuka called for the music to turn off.
"Now, for all of you…beauty challenged people who missed what happened on LWF: Reborn, Mark Andrews, and Eddie Dennis disrespected us, and Dennis got a lucky victory against Erza. We will deal with those two nobodies when the time comes, but for now, Sonata Dusk asked for a rematch against Erza Scarlet, as if she has a chance against our Beautiful Beast here," Asuka exclaimed as Erza glared at Asuka before walking to the corner, waiting for Sonata to come out.
"So Sonata, you really should just come out here right now and take the ass-kicking that you have coming," Asuka explained, dropping the microphone. A few seconds later, the FSU theme song played, causing the crowd to give a mixed reaction as Asuka and Alexis looked scared at the music, while Erza looked at the stage in confusion and annoyance. However, after a minute of FSU's theme song playing, the song stopped, and Alexis and Asuka started laughing as Erza looked confused.
"Yeah…they're not here! You bunch of idiots fell for it, thinking that we would actually be scared of those losers. They're not coming out here, and at End of the Line, we're going to make them want to never come back to wrestling," Alexis mocked before dropping her microphone. Erza rolled her eyes in annoyance as 'Unhinged' by Dale Oliver played, causing the crowd to cheer as Sonata came running out of the back with a huge smile on her face.
"And her opponent, representing the LWF, Sonata Dusk!" Jeremy Borash exclaimed as the crowd continued to cheer as Sonata hi-fived the fans and cheered herself on by patting herself on the back before running all the way to the ringside area, and jumped onto the apron, causing the crowd to cheer louder, and chant 'That Was Awesome!'
"Sonata Dusk is trying to separate herself from her former partners Adagio and Aria by getting her win back against Erza Scarlet," Mauro explained as Sonata springboarded into the ring, and rolled to the center of the ring. The crowd continued to cheer as Sonata jumped up to the top rope, and flipped back to the center of the ring, and pointed at Erza.
"Sonata has said she has no interest in having any more to do with Adagio or Aria and is only focused on becoming a champion," Mirajane continued as Erza slapped Sonata's finger away, and got in her face. Sonata, unlike months ago, didn't back down and started yelling right in Erza's face, causing the two to argue as the referee tried to get in between them.
"Erza hasn't been in a good mood since she was a guest on LWF: Reborn, and lost to Eddie Dennis, thanks to some distraction from Asuka, so this match promises to be volatile," Andy explained as once the referee was able to separate the two women, the referee asked them both if they were ready, and when they confirmed so, the referee rang the bell. Sonata ran up at Erza and grabbed her in a headlock, and Erza immediately attempted to hit her with a back suplex, but Sonata landed on her feet behind Erza and put her back in a headlock as the crowd continued to cheer.
"Sonata trying to slow down the powerhouse with a side headlock, which is not how I expected his match to go," Andy admitted as Erza pushed Sonata off of her, and attempted to hit her with a shoulder tackle, but Sonata stopped herself from rebounding, but when Erza attempted to run at her, Sonata lifted her feet up, causing Erza to slam her face into Sonata's feet. Sonata then started hitting Erza with multiple forearms to the face, but Erza pushed Sonata away, and this time, Sonata rebounded, allowing Erza to take Sonata down with a shoulder tackle. Erza flexed at the audience, causing the crowd to boo as she tried to run the ropes, but Sonata was able to duck Erza's clothesline and knocked Erza into the corner with a jumping spinning head kick.
"Well, I think Sonata is now starting to use her quickness in this match, knocking Erza into the corner with a massive kick!" Mauro exclaimed as Sonata ran into the corner, and hit Erza in the face with a running forearm to the face before hitting Erza with multiple kicks to the chest before running the ropes and hitting a running big boot to the side of Erza's head. The crowd continued to cheer as Sonata pointed at the crowd and rolled to another side of the ring before hitting Erza in the side of the head with a running elbow strike to the side in the corner.
"Sonata keeping Erza in the corner, allowing herself to dominate the early goings of this match with multiple running strikes," Mirajane explained as Sonata hit Erza in the chest with multiple knife-edge chops before putting her in a front facelock. Sonata attempted to hit a Tornado DDT onto Erza, but Erza pushed Sonata off of her, but Sonata was able to land on her feet and attempted to hit Erza with a jumping leg lariat. However, Erza ducked and attempted to hit Sonata with the Heaven's Wheel (Shell Shock), but Sonata was able to roll Erza up with a Crucifix pin.
Ref: 1…
"Sonata trying to pin Erza with a beautiful Crucifix Pin, but Erza isn't going to go down that easily!" Mauro exclaimed as Sonata grabbed Erza by the hair, and started punching her in the face before running the ropes and hitting her with a running dropkick to the face. Sonata then springboarded off of the 2nd rope and hit Erza across the throat with a twisting leg drop, but Asuka and Alexis got onto the apron, causing the crowd to boo before Sonata could attempt to pin Erza.
"Despite the tension between Erza and the Beautiful People, Asuka and Alexis trying to give Erza a break from Sonata's constant onslaught!" Mirajane exclaimed as Sonata ran at the Beautiful People, and knocked Alexis off of the apron with a Superkick, and then hit Asuka with a running dropkick. The crowd cheered louder as Erza attempted to run at Sonata with a spear, but Sonata was able to throw Erza out of the ring and in front of the other members of the Beautiful People.
"Sonata sending the Beautiful People outside of the ringside, and it looks like she has something else in mind!" Andy exclaimed as Sonata climbed up to the top rope, and when all three members of the Beautiful People were staggered in Sonata's line of sight, Sonata hit a 450 Splash onto the three standing members of the Beautiful People, causing the crowd to cheer as all three women fell down to the ground.
"A standing 450 Splash by Sonata, knocking down all three of the Beautiful People's members!" Andy exclaimed as Sonata kipped back up to her feet, causing the crowd to light up as she roared before grabbing Erza and throwing her back into the ring. The crowd continued to cheer as Sonata jumped onto the apron, and waited for Erza to get back up, and when she did, Erza springboarded back into the ring with an attempted Springboard Hurricanrana. However, the crowd booed as Erza grabbed a midair Sonata and hit her with a Powerbomb, causing the crowd to boo louder.
"And there is when Erza's strength comes into play, as she sends Sonata crashing to the canvas with a vicious Powerbomb!" Mauro exclaimed as Erza pulled Sonata up by the hair, and threw her into the corner. The crowd booed as Erza ran into the corner, and hit Sonata in the gut with a Running Spear into the corner before hitting her with multiple shoulder thrusts. Erza then started punching Sonata in the face before throwing her out of the corner with an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Erza throwing Sonata like a rag doll halfway across the ring with an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex!" Mirajane exclaimed as Erza stomped on Sonata's gut multiple times before running the ropes and hit a jumping elbow drop across the chest. Erza then flexed at the crowd again before hitting multiple standing elbow drops onto Sonata's chest before picking her up and pushing her into the ropes. When Sonata rebounded, Erza launched her into the air and dropped her down on her knee.
"Oh! Sonata landing on Erza's knee with such force! And Sonata is rolling around in pain!" Andy exclaimed as Erza grabbed Sonata, rolled her to the center of the ring, and pinned her by hooking both her legs back.
Ref: 1…2
Erza grabbed Sonata, and threw Sonata out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope, causing her to crash ribs and chest first in front of the announcers' table. Asuka and Alexis applauded Erza's dismantling of Sonata, and Erza responded with a glare towards her teammates before following Sonata outside of the ring. Sonata staggered to her feet and started hitting Erza with punches to the face, but Erza responded by throwing Sonata's face into the announcers' table before throwing Sonata onto the ground again.
"And Erza, once again rag dolling Sonata outside of the ring!" Mirajane exclaimed as Erza grabbed Sonata by the hair, and threw her into the fan barricade chest first before picking her up in a Military Press, and slammed her chest first onto the top of the fan barricade. Erza swiped at some of the booing fans in front of her before picking Sonata up and ramming her into the ring apron as the referee started counting both women out.
Ref: 1…2…3
Erza glared at the referee before throwing Sonata back into the ring. Asuka and Alexis attempted to hi-five Erza in celebration, but Erza just glared at the two of them before rolling back into the ring and started stomping on Sonata's back.
"Erza has been targeting Sonata's back and chest throughout this match. You have to wonder how this will affect the young high flyer," Andy wondered out loud as Erza picked Sonata up, and started punching her in the gut before hitting her with an Over the Shoulder Backbreaker before putting her in the Bear Hug. The crowd booed as Erza dug her knuckles into the middle of Sonata's back as she continued to squeeze in the bear hug. After thirty seconds in the bear hug, Sonata started hitting Erza in the face with multiple headbutts to the face.
"Sonata trying to fight out of this bearhug by headbutting Erza in the nose!" Mauro exclaimed as Erza backed away in front of a corner, and threw Sonata into the corner with an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex. The crowd booed as Erza flexed her right arm, and kissed her muscles, before grabbing Sonata, and putting her back in the Bear Hug. Sonata tried to hit punches to Erza's face, but Erza responded by pushing Sonata's back into the corner multiple times before going back into the corner, continuing to squeeze in the Bearhug.
"Erza giving more damage to Sonata's weakened back. Sonata may pass out from the pain and pressure of this Bearhug," Mirajane said as Sonata was able to pull her arms out of Erza's grasp, and hit Erza in the ears with a couple of Bell Claps, causing the crowd to cheer as Sonata was able to slide out of the Bearhug. Sonata started punching Erza in the side of the head, before hitting her with a kick to the gut and attempting to run the ropes. When Sonata attempted to hit Erza with a Hurricanrana, but Erza was able to slam Sonata chest first into the top rope, causing the crowd to boo as she Erza ran the ropes, and hit Sonata with a Sick Kick to the side of the head before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Erza nearly decapitated Sonata with that Rocket Kick to the side of the head! Despite that, she only got a two count!" Mauro exclaimed as Asuka yelled at Erza to finish Sonata off. Erza responded by sighing and rolling her eyes at Asuka before grabbing Sonata by the back of the head by her hair and hit the Scarlet Curtain (Inverted Headlock Spun into an Elbow Drop) onto Sonata before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
Erza pounded on the mat in frustration before Asuka started yelling at Erza to hit her with another Scarlet Curtain (Inverted Headlock Spun into an Elbow Drop).

Ref: 1…2.

Andy exclaimed as Erza attempted to hit Sonata with a Swords Edge Clothesline (Meat Hook Clothesline), but the crowd cheered as Sonata ducked the move, and hit Erza with a jumping clothesline of her own.

However, Asuka and Alexis went up onto the apron to try and distract her, but Sonata kicked Asuka in the side of the head with a Superkick, sending her crashing into Alexis, and sending the both of them crashing to the outside. However, Erza attempted to hit Sonata with a Tornado Bomb from the top rope, but Sonata was able to counter this into a Reverse Hurricanrana.

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, representing the LWF: Reborn, Sonata Dusk!" Jeremy Borash exclaimed as the crowd continued to cheer as Sonata remained on the ground, completely exhausted from her match. The referee raised Sonata's shoulder up in victory before he noticed that the brawl between the Beautiful People, Adagio & Neo, and FSU was still going on outside of the ring.
"Sonata, with no small help from FSU, was able to get a victory over Erza, helping her case of becoming a future champion in LWF: Reborn!" Mauro exclaimed as the referee called for security from the back to break up the massive brawl. Andrews was brawling with Asuka on one side of the ring, while Eddie was brawling with Neo and Adagio. Alexis hit a kick to the back of Andrew's head, allowing her and Asuka to start stomping on him.
"The Beautiful People getting an edge over one half of the FSU!" Andy exclaimed as security started pulling Alexis and Asuka away from Andrews. Eddie threw Neo into the top of the steel steps before continuing to brawl with Adagio. More security pulled Eddie and Adagio apart, ad Andrews got back to his feet and started punching Asuka in the face before security tackled him to the ground and tried to separate him from the Beautiful People.
"Security is still trying to separate these three teams while Sonata has staggered back to her feet," Mirajane explained as Sonata raised her arm in victory as she walked out of the ring. Sonata walked all around the ringside area and hi-fived the cheering fans at ringside while Erza got back up in a seated position with a hand over her nose.
"Erza looks furious after taking another loss here, but Sonata looks overjoyed at this huge victory!" Andy exclaimed as Sonata jumped into the crowd, much to their delight as Erza started pounding the mat in frustration before the camera panned to the backstage area, where Kohaku and Homura Momiji were backstage, running through the backstage area while performing parkour on everything that was in their way.
"Come on Kohaku! Don't tell me you're getting tired already!" Homura playfully chided as she jumped over multiple production crates.
"Oh, I'm just getting started, Homura!" Kohaku called back, as she jumped off of the wall, and got shoulder to shoulder with Homura. However, Homura was able to leap almost a foot ahead of Kohaku, making it past their makeshift finish line.
"Yes! That's 1-1 in our BTWF competitions, Kohaku!" Homura cheered as she patted Kohaku on the shoulder. Kohaku laughed as she grabbed Homura in a headlock, as the two started to laugh.
"We're all tied up now, but that's not gonna last when we get to the next Intensity," Kohaku responded, giving Homura a noogie before the two turned their attention to the camera, and gave the camera a wink and a thumbs-up before the camera panned back to the stage.
