AVW Winter Warfare PPV [Part 2]

("Blow out" by Konomi Suzuki) played in the arena as an explosive parade of pyrotechnics bursts off the side of the entranceway with both girls in their school uniform as the crowd cheered for the duo.

"This women's tag team match is scheduled for one fall, with the time limit of 30 minutes. Introducing first, from the Alzano Empire, Sistine Fibel and Rumia Tingel – The Mage Sisters!" Mai Sakurajima announced. The team of mages shook hands with the audience nearby on both sides.

"Welcome back to Winter Warfare! As we can see from our position here, The Mage Sisters are making their way to the ring." Chris said as the mages entered the ring by sliding down underneath the bottom rope, and both climbed up to different turnbuckles to taunt.

"Here is a fun fact, those girls aren't related by blood. Is there even a possibility that they can match up with their skills with their opponents, who are actually sisters and were separated for the longest time?" Corey asked his colleagues.

"I'm not sure on how to put it that way. But either way, they should get along just fine." Shun simply answered.

("Wild Thing" by X) played next as the next entrants entered differently. Both women entered through the crowd as some fans sang to the song. The smaller individual shared hands with the fans besides her while the other did not do anything as she casually walked down the aisle.

"And their opponents, from the island of Honno City, Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuuin – Kill la Familia!" Mai then called out the other tag team as they hopped over the barricade and entered the ring.

"Fans can rock out the song but can these teams rock the attention of everybody here at Winter Warfare?" Corey asked. Both teams huddled up on who was going first to make contact as the music suddenly stopped, signaling the bell to ring.

Tag Team Match - The Mage Sisters (Sistine Fibel & Rumia Tingel) vs. Kill la Familia (Ryuko Matoi & Satsuki Kiryuuin)

"They can deliver, and they can rock the arena with their talent; they can make an example out of me since I have been in both music and pro wrestling industry for a long, long time," Chris answered.

Both Sistine and Ryuko decided to start as they circled around the ring and went for the usual elbow tie-up with the upper hand belonging to Ryuko, who sent Sistine to a corner as the referee broke the hold with Ryuko raised her hands in response.

Suddenly, Ryuko sends to the canvas with a Schoolgirl Pin by Sistine as Ryuko kicks out before the 1 count. Ryuko already stood up as both girls locked again in a tie-up, but this time Sistine sends Ryuko to an empty corner until the referee scolds the white-haired girl as she raises her hand. Ryuko instantly moves to the side and pins Sistine with a Schoolgirl Pin to Sistine, who also kicked out of 1, and the women both stand up simultaneously.

"And these girls just outdid themselves, and it seems they took out of a page of their homework," Corey said.

Both women circled again as Ryuko strikes first a fist but was ducked by Sistine, who pushes her to the ring to bounce as Ryuko hops over Sistine. Ryuko bounces to the other side as Sistine leapfrogs over her, and the latter laid on her back, raising her feet to catapult Ryuko, but she lands on her feet. Sistine was able to stand by rolling backward as Ryuko returned the favor by catapulting Sistine with her feet, but again, Sistine landed on her feet. This made the fans go gasp at the smoothness of their moves.

"Good grief, they already know what moves are they going for despite being in a different background of families," Shun exclaimed. Ryuko shoves Sistine to a rope to bounce, but all of a sudden, Rumia extends her arm to pat the back of Sistine as the referee makes the tag official. Sistine sends herself to Ryuko as she hits a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, sending Ryuko to their corner. Meanwhile, Rumia charges herself to Ryuko, hitting a shoulder tackle to her while Sistine also makes a run for herself as she uses her partner's back to launch herself to Ryuko, attacking her with an Uppercut and smoothly lands herself on the apron, wowing the audience and the commentator.

"Whoa! The White Cat able to move like a cat, too, is an impressive feat of its own. They really did their homework, just like what you said, Corey!" Chris exclaimed, enthralled by the performance of Sistine.

With that, Rumia quickly covers Ryuko for a pin.

Ryuko kicks out.

Rumia whips Ryuko to an empty corner as she runs with a Forearm Shot to the face and whips her again to the other empty corner, smashing Ryuko with another Forearm Shot. For the third time, Rumia whips her to another corner, which belonged to Ryuko and Satsuki's, where the latter tags herself without Rumia knowing. Rumia charges herself for the third time, but Ryuko eats a boot for her action as Satsuki enters the ring and carries Rumia on her back as she drops Rumia with an Alabama Slam with Ryuko's knees raised, planted on the back of the mage.

"Great tag team action right here! And The Mage Sisters are in trouble here." Shun said. Satsuki covers Rumia for a ping.

Rumia kicks out as Sistine jumps continuously and needs to make a desperate tag, sending the crowd into a rallying chant gesture.

"With this kind of predicament, emotions are already running wild for Sistine!" Chris said, observing the expression of the White Cat.

"It usually happens most of the time, and they will realize that they are only in a beginning phase," Corey added.

Satsuki endlessly stomps the back of Rumia but was stopped by the referee as she stops the stomping. However, she has other plans as she walks through the back of a pained Rumia, earning some jeers from the fans. Satsuki grabs the arm of Rumia and sends back to their corner, and tags Ryuko, who climbs up to the top turnbuckle. Rumia tries to escape but is caught by Satsuki on the apron and inserts her upper body through the middle rope as she signals Ryuko to do the job. Ryuko then hits a Double Foot Stomp to the prone back of Rumia, causing the latter to wince in pain as Satsuki enters back to their side with Ryuko pinning Rumia.

Rumia kicks out. Ryuko automatically twists Rumia's wrist and covers her face, and locks in the Crossface Chickenwing submission, sending Rumia in breathing difficulty.

"With the Kill la Familia prevailing, I don't know how much Rumia can handle now after all of these maneuvers she's been enduring for the past few minutes," Corey exclaimed.

With Rumia struggling, Sistine could not help but help the crowd by giving her strength as Rumia tried to make it to the nearest rope but was still under the hold. After a few seconds, Rumia jumps to the middle rope to roll backward to escape the hold with a pin.

Ryuko kicks out.

With Rumia standing up, she saw Ryuko trying to attack her as she ducked under and went to the ropes and used the momentum to hit Ryuko with a Forearm Shot, followed by another then a third shot. Ryuko still tries to hit Rumia but fails due to Rumia's German Suplex attempt, but her back nags her badly and clutches it, releasing Ryuko. With Ryuko seeing an opening, she sends herself to the ropes as she tries to hit a Big Boot, but Rumia's hand catches the boot, and Rumia sends Ryuko spinning but was in surprise when Ryuko drops her down with a Lariat.

"Wow! That almost took off her head, and I don't wanna be in the situation of Rumia or even Sistine!" Shun exclaimed.

"And Ryuko did not go for a cover there, and she climbs up to the top! What is she thinking?!" Chris said, observing Ryuko's odd choice of her next action.

"Going for a big impact, apparently, this is one of the most popular methods of taking out your adversary, and Ryuko is doing it right now!" Corey answered.

"She is going for it!" Shun added.

Ryuko then jumps off the rope, hitting a Diving Splash but was able to roll through as Rumia rolls out of harm's way. Ryuko turns back around to see herself leaping with a Release Northern Lights Suplex with both women down. Their partners are now calling a tag from their fallen half.

"With the Northern Lights, Rumia might be able to make a tag to her sister after all of these punishments that she went through," Shun said.

"Not her real sister, Kaidou." Corey clarified.

"It doesn't even matter at this point!"

But before Rumia could get to her partner, Ryuko tags Satsuki, who sprints to Rumia and picks up the ankle, pulling her back to the ring. However, before she could do something hurtful, Satsuki eats a boot of Rumia, who executed an Enzuigiri, letting go of the ankle. Adding to that, Rumia is able to pick up Satsuki with a German Suplex in a deadlift motion, sending the crowd in awe as Rumia clutches her back while Satsuki tries to get a better vision after the attack.

"It looks like Rumia can make a tag here with both opponents are still in the mat," Shun said.

Now the crowd are practically rallying over The Mage Sisters as Sistine extends her arm as long as she can cover with Satsuki began to stand up, Rumia was in time to make an impending tag to Sistine, who leaps on the top rope and seeing Satsuki standing up, she lands a Springboard Clothesline to Satsuki. Sistine makes her way to Ryuko onto their corner to hit a punch, but Ryuko only stumbles and goes back to Satsuki to hit her with a Knife Edge Chop, twists her wrist, and carefully climbs up to the top rope.

"Sistine going for an Old School, if she can balance this…" Corey paused as he saw Sistine walks in a tightrope, but midway, Ryuko stands up from the apron and kicks her to the side of the head but retains her balance until she makes to the turnbuckle and leaps off to send Satsuki to the canvas with a Hurricanrana, achieving a loud cheer from the audience.

"Wow! I have never seen someone do a long rope walk like that!" Chris exclaimed, amazed by the feat of The White Cat.

"She definitely has that cat-like agility," Corey added. Sistine adds a Dropkick to Satsuki, who just got sent to a corner.

Sistine charges toward Satsuki, who sends Sistine to the apron and quickly grabs the head of Satsuki while climbing up to the top turnbuckle. After climbing, Sistine orchestrates a cheerful rhythm as she turns Satsuki with a Tornado Reverse DDT; however, Satsuki was able to stop the momentum and shoves Sistine, recoiling to the ropes and went through Satsuki and this time, Sistine finally turns Satsuki around with a Tilt-a-Whirl Reverse DDT as Sistine went for a cover, hooking both legs.

Ryuko was able to break the count before hitting the three.

"That was so close! With that momentum from the White Cat, the match might be over." Chris said.

"With the ring awareness, Ryuko was able to keep the match going despite the fatigue," Corey stated.

After the pin break, Rumia entered to Sistine's aid as she threw a Back Fist, sending Ryuko flushed on her face. Then Rumia whips Ryuko to the ropes as the latter bounces; Ryuko could not attack Rumia as she and Sistine lift both legs to throw her in the air, but miraculously, Satsuki was able to catch Ryuko just in time, much to the surprise of everyone.

"Whoa! She just caught her sister, like they really are sisters!" Shun exclaimed after seeing a great catch.

"Of course, they are sisters. They are willing to take care of one another!" Corey added.

But the mages answer with a Double Dropkick sending Ryuko and Satsuki down, who rolls out of the ring. Because of this, they planned a suicidal teamwork where they bounced to the nearest ropes, but Rumia tripped off the canvas by Satsuki's grasps, though Sistine's momentum did not falter as she went to the other side and throws herself through the middle rope with a Suicide Dive, sending both Satsuki and inadvertently, Rumia, down to the floor.

"Suicide dive by the White Cat to the outside, out goes her partner and Satsuki!" Chris exclaimed. The trio then stood up, but in a surprising twist, Ryuko went from the furthest corner to the other, climbed up to the top turnbuckle, and dives herself into the pool of superstars with a Senton Atomico. "Oh my God! What a freaking dive by Ryuko! What the hell!?"

"I think we need to slow it down because everyone is taking move by move with this quartet, and they are getting a loud reception from the crowd here in Tokyo Dome," Corey said, observing the current environment, in which the applause is getting louder.

"And Satsuki sends Sistine back to the ring," Shun said. Satsuki also went back inside as she covered Sistine.

Sistine kicks out, barely surviving the predicament.

Satsuki picks up Sistine, scoops the latter, and attempts to slam her, but Sistine was able to hop on Satsuki's neck to hit a Reverse Hurricanrana, spiking the head of Satsuki. But suddenly, Satsuki explodes with a Spinning Heel Kick as Satsuki stacks her up in a pin.

Rumia then breaks up the pin.

"I thought that was over! But Rumia was able to get in time to break the pin!" Corey exclaimed.

"This is unbelievable, guys!" Shun added.

"And here's Ryuko, trying to evening the odds for the team, and now Satsuki are mauling over Rumia," Chris said. As he said the words, both Satsuki and Ryuko, sending Rumia to the outside on her back in pain.

With that, both members of Kill la Familia make their way to Sistine and pulls her into their corner as Satsuki tags Ryuko as the latter twists the wrist of Sistine and lifts her up until she is caught by Satsuki in a Powerbomb.

"Oh! That's the Decapitation Mode! (Belly-to-back pop up by Ryuko into a Powerbomb by Satsuki) That's gotta be it!" Chris exclaimed. Ryuko stacks her up into a pinning combination.

Sistine somehow kicks out, shocking Ryuko in the process. With this situation beginning to stir, Ryuko attempts to make a tag, but Rumia pulls Satsuki off the apron and takes her out with a punch, but she counters it with her own. Now both are mugging each other out, which leads to Ryuko alone and Sistine.

"Now, Ryuko is in big, big trouble!" Shun exclaimed.

"Uh-oh! You better look behind now!" Corey said.

As soon as Ryuko looks back, she is treated with a Small Package Pin by Rumia.

"Now, whoever drains their battery first, it will all go shut down!" Corey exclaimed.

With that statement, Ryuko somehow got the upper hand with both hands hugging around the leg of Sistine as Ryuko rolled back and pins her down with a Spladle Roll.

The bell rang in succession as both women let go of each other and realized that the match was over.

("Wild Thing" by X) played in the arena.

"Here are you winners, Kill la Famila – Satsuki Kiryuuin and Ryuko Matoi!" Mai announced them as the victors.

"Wow! That was unbelievable!" Chris said after seeing a great tag match. The fans also agreed to the statement, who let out a great roar of cheers and applauses.

"If you put it into words, they are so many things to describe the match. But in the end, one team can leave the match victorious, and that triumph will go to Kill la Familia! What a match!" Corey exclaimed.

"But you have to give credit to The Mage Sisters, who have put the other team to their limit!" Shun added.

Now both teams are on the ring, looking at each other and confronting themselves as they pause, waiting for someone to move not until Sistine extends her arms in front of Ryuko, who was hesitant at first but decides to shake hands while Rumia offered her hand to Satsuki, who looks back to Ryuko to receive the word and the younger sister nodded as Satsuki accepts the hand and shakes it as a sign of respect. The sportsmanship sends the crowd happy and ecstatic.

"A great show of sportsmanship here by both teams as everyone will watch this again, and their satisfaction has been served," Chris said as the winners walked off the ring while the others were looking up on each other.

"What a night has been! And we still have a few matches coming up here at Winter Warfare!" Corey exclaimed. "The main event of Six-Pack Elimination Match for the AVW World Championship still to come. And speaking of the Championship, our General Manager Kokomi Teruhashi has another big announcement to share with all of us here at Winter Warfare."

"Let's see her back in her office," Shun added.


General Manager's Office

"Hi, everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the pay-per-view so far because there are plenty more things to come here tonight. You all have seen the last match, a tag team match between four women forming a team, and those individuals have found their will to fight. And what do we get? An excellent match!" The general manager spoke and paused as she picked up a piece of paper, scanned its contents, and smiled after reading.

"So, after a careful deliberation, I am proud to announce that we will be having a Tag Team Tournament!" Kokomi confidently unveils a new announcement. "Eight teams will have the chance to prove that they deserve to be called the first AVW World Tag Team Champions, with the winners being crowned on February 22, next month. By the way, one of those matches will happen tonight!"

"In 30 days, 2/22, tag teams will be cast under a storm, and that storm will wreak havoc to these pairs as they will face a Tag. Team. Turbulence." She softly warned those who would be in the tournament. "See you in Jacksonville." She left with those words as the camera pans back to the commentary booth.


"You hear that, ladies and gentlemen, eight teams will compete for the right to call themselves the first-ever AVW World Tag Team Champions. And in 30 days, the finals will take place at 2/22: Tag Team Turbulence, if that's what the General Manager meant for the name of that event." Chris announced. "And it will happen in the US – Jacksonville, Florida!"

"It doesn't matter what the event name is but at least; we have to get to see those two teams in action tonight!" Corey replied.

("Fat Burner" by Jim Johnston) played in the arena. Two individuals appeared on the entrance ramp. One on the left wore glasses and was sporting his dark violet hair with his right hand mostly wrapped up with tape. While the other sports his spiky maroon hair and oddly looking shape of an eyebrow, with an addition of a band-aid on top of his nose. Both men wearing green gakurans with the spiky-haired person cut the sleeves of his attire.

"This tag team match is a quarterfinals match of Tag Team Turbulence Tournament, and it is set for one fall with a time limit of 30 minutes. Introducing first, from Hidari Wakibara, the team of Aren Kuboyasu, and Kineshi Hairo!"

"Speaking of which, we're gonna see it right now!" Shun enthusiastically said after seeing his buddies. "They're my buddies!"

"Thank you for stating that, Captain Obvious! I don't know if it's a coincidence that our General Manager is the person who attended the same school as you and those two over there. Something's off in it right away." Corey assumed.

"Of course, at least Teruhashi gave them a shot in the tournament."

Both men entered the ring as they did a few exercises for a short time as their music stopped to await their opponent's presence to be seen.

"Now, who will they face in this tournament? As much we don't even know who's entering, this team doesn't even know who they will face." Chris said.

("MAYDAY feat. Ryo from CRYSTAL LAKE" by coldrain) played in the arena. The two guys in their firefighter attire showed up as they brought a long line of fire hoses and sprayed it to the entranceway as fans got showered with streaks of colorful confetti.

"And their opponents, from Tokyo… Shinra Kusakabe and Arthur Boyle – Fire Force!" Mai announced the second team to participate in the tournament as they rushed towards the ring.

"One of them participated earlier in the Stamped for Six Battle Royal and was eliminated midway. He shouldn't be on 100% right now after what he went through." Corey said. "So, their chances of them advancing might slightly decrease unless his partner, Arthur Boyle, is willing to take out the two instead."

"Don't think that he's like a dog there. That sounded really harsh." Shun said.

"I just said what I said; it's an opinion of every people. They do respond to it in a bad way or in a good way."

The firemen throw out their hats to the crowd and also disrobe their attire as both teams plan out on who's going inside first until the bell rings to start the match. On the other hand, Arthur Boyle from Fire Force and Aren Kuboyasu will begin the tag team match.

Tag Team Match - Fire Force (Shinra Kusakabe & Arthur Boyle) vs. Aren Kuboyasu & Kineshi Hairo

"As if Shinra and Arthur can hear you, Corey; looks like they took the advice from you," Chris said.

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about in the first place. You don't want to get your partner who has been in a match earlier. Wrestling in two or more matches in a single day is not a joke." Corey answered.

Both men began with Aren locking the waist of Arthur, switching sides with one another as Arthur attempts to hit an elbow to Aren, who dodges the attack and tries to eliminate him with a Suplex, but Arthur backflips and lands on his feet. Aren attempts to attack Arthur, who slides underneath and hits a Dropkick that sends Aren hanging against the middle rope with his head exposed beside Shinra, who receives a tag from Arthur.

"Here comes Shinra with the tag!" Chris exclaimed. Shinra then drops the leg on the prone head of Aren, who got sent down to the outside as Shinra enters while Arthur exits the ring. Shinra goes to the ropes and sends himself to Aren with a Suicide Dive, sending fans clapping. Shinra then sends Aren back to the ring, where he covers Aren only for a kick out of two.

"Despite the tag, this kid with a devil smile on his face needs to be careful not to make an opening for the opposition, or the tables will turn on them," Corey said. Shinra picked up Aren and went for a Scoop Slam, but Aren escapes from the grasps of Shinra as Aren grabs the neck of Shinra in an Inverted Facelock and drops him with an Inverted DDT. Aren went for the pin.

Shinra kicks out.

Aren then went to his corner to tag Kineshi as the former kicked the back of Shinra while his partner went to the ropes to kick him to the chest that sent Shinra down. Kineshi then hooks the leg of Shinra for the pin but a quick kick out surprises the other legal man.

"Somehow, he survives those kicks," Shun said, examining the performance of his buddies in the ring. "Hairo can kick someone when he has the experience as an athlete."

Kineshi then hooks the neck of Shinra in a Chin Lock submission as the latter waves his arms, either wanting to tag his partner on his corner or to show the referee that he is moving. Arthur then begins a parade of support from the fans, who happily obliged as they rally for the team of Fire Force. Shinra begins to move on his own as he slowly approaches the nearest rope as he successfully breaks the hold, sending the referee into a count of five for Kineshi, who lets go of him.

"If anything has the will to going on, it's this kid, Shinra Kusakabe, who's giving himself a rest on a corner," Corey said. Kineshi runs to Shinra, who was able to sidestep as Kineshi slides down to the outside and goes back immediately inside to hit Shinra, who instinctively gives Kineshi a Pump Kick. Shinra then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle as he leaps off to Kineshi, who just got planted with a Tornado DDT with both men down as the audience cheered for the ongoing match.

"Kineshi got planted with that DDT, can Shinra able to make a tag to his partner?" Chris asked no one. After a few seconds, both men began to crawl to their respective corners as both Arthur and Aren were inside after receiving a tag from their fallen partners.

Arthur got the upper hand with multiple clotheslines to Aren as Arthur whips Aren to the ropes and sends him for a ride with a Back Body Drop. Once Aren gets up, Arthur scoops him up and sends him from the back with a Fallaway Slam. Arthur then saw Kineshi standing up from the apron as he uncorked a right hand to his face, sending him down again. Once that got out of the way, he left the ring to stop at the apron, and seeing Aren standing up again, he rolled to Aren with a Running Cannonball Senton to drop Aren once again on the floor. Arthur stands up to interact with the fans before quickly sending Aren's body back to the ring to cover him.

"Oh! Kineshi with the pin break! Arthur almost got him there, though." Chris said. Kineshi breaks up the pin, saving the match for himself and Aren. When he pulls Aren's body to their corner, Kineshi tags himself as he enters back the ring and picks up Arthur, but Arthur is able to escape from the attempt as Kineshi charges towards Arthur, who dodges the upcoming attack as Kineshi hits the post instead. Meanwhile, Arthur then tags the now awakened Shinra, who enters the ring and sees Kineshi moving away from the post as Shinra hops to the middle turnbuckle and hits a Disaster Kick.

"Beautiful Disaster Kick by Shinra! Uh-oh, I think this where we see an ultimate farewell of your friends, Kaidou!" Corey exclaimed enthusiastically, and this made Shun grunt in response. As commentators and the audience notices that both Arthur and Shinra were on between sides of Kineshi as they deliver the Flamethrower (Total Elimination), sending the crowd in awe.

"Total Elimination! Shinra seizes the opportunity of pinning Kineshi here!" Chris exclaimed. Shinra pins the unconscious Kineshi.

("MAYDAY feat. Ryo from CRYSTAL LAKE" by coldrain) played in the arena as the crowd clapped for the winners of the match.

"Here are your winners, Fire Force – Arthur Boyle and Shinra Kusakabe!" Mai Sakurajima announced loudly as the referee raised a hand from both victors.

"That was a dominating performance by the Fire Force! I am amazed at the resilience of Shinra after what he went through earlier." Corey said.

"Ah, come on! That was one-sided!" Shun complained.

"You play fire with fire, and what do you get? A Flamethrower!" Corey added. "Totally eliminating the opposition for good."

"And both of them advances to the Semi-Finals of Tag Team Turbulence Tournament, in which will take place in 30 days," Chris announced. "Looks like another scoop will be unveiled backstage, and we're welcoming, Ristarte, with the new developing story."


Backstage Area

"Welcome, everyone. I'm Ristarte!" The girl in white dress and blonde hair spoke up from the backstage area. "And this time, we would like to welcome to one of the participants in the upcoming main event – Naofumi Iwatani!"

The green-themed hero appeared on the left as he stared towards the girl in front of him.

"What do you want?" Naofumi then asked the interviewer.

"Oh!" Ristarte realized that she had forgotten something as she went through between her chest to pick up a cue card, sending the crowd into laughter off-screen. "So, how are your preparations so far for tonight's main event?"

Naofumi furrowed his eyebrows in response and spoke. "You really have the audacity to ask me that when you ask me to get an interview from me while I'm doing my preparations."

"B-B-But I wanna know, the people want to know too!" Ristarte replied.

Naofumi sighed in a reaction as he tried to pick up a well-thought answer, but when he began, he saw another individual making its way towards their direction. It was revealed to be the tall guy named Kiyotaka Ayanokouji.

"Hey there…" Ristarte greeted the newcomer but had no clue about his identity.

"Kiyotaka Ayanokouji." The nonchalant-eyed guy answered the interviewer as he then faced Naofumi and offered a hand to him. "Good luck to you."

Naofumi was hesitant to return the favor as he asked Kiyotaka first. "Why are you saying that? We did just that earlier."

"Nothing, I'm just making sure that I was able to get a clear response from everyone involved tonight," Kiyotaka answered.

"Do you even know what you're doing?"

"I am fully aware of that. That's the last thing I could do… for now." Kiyotaka replied, but Naofumi noticed that his hand was tightly clasped against his, thinking that something was up on him as Kiyotaka released the hand and walked out.

With that, Naofumi sighed and shrugged as he went to the other side, walking out and leaving Ristarte confused.

"W-W-Wait a minute! I didn't even ask you about your…" She paused and fathoms that it was going nowhere as she stormed out of the backstage area, enraging and upset.

"WHY DID I EVEN GET THIS JOB ANYWAY?!" Was the last thing that was ever heard from her off-screen, causing the audience to chuckle.


("Bulletproof" by Family Force 5) was played through the arena as a girl in her pink and black suit showed up to the entrance ramp, earning cheers from the crowd. That individual was sporting a hero suit as she shared hands with the nearest fans, from left to right.

"This women's match is scheduled for one fall, with a time limit of 30 minutes. Introducing first, from Musutafu, Ochako Uraraka!" Mai Sakurajima announced the first competitor as Ochako climbs up to the top rope to meet the audience in her sights.

"Also training to be a Pro Hero same as her colleagues – Izuki Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugou, and Shouto Todoroki; Ochako Uraraka also shares the same goal of showing their capabilities and abilities here at Anime Valley Wrestling!" Chris explained the girl's tendencies of joining the company.

"Can the lightning strike twice for the team of 1-A for a victory here tonight? Or will she suffer a damaging loss?" Corey replied. Ochako was seen removing her unnecessary accessories like her helmet, belt, and her big circular wrist guards, only leaving with her suit and her knee-high boots and tosses it all beside a corner.

("Oh No!" by Marina and the Diamonds) was played through the arena as the crowd could not react properly as another girl in her suit appeared beside the entrance ramp, but this time color was red, and she did not give the fans interaction and went straight to the ring to face with Ochako.

"And her opponent, originally raised from Germany and currently residing here in Japan, Asuka Langley Soryu!" Mai Sakurajima introduces the other competitor while she moves her hips easily and spins her shoulder while focusing on her opponent, who looks ready.

"Just like what our ring announcer said, she was originally born from Germany, though she also has an American descent, in which she knows about English. She also has a university degree and has been training for a few years, which makes her a child prodigy." Chris explained a short background about the woman in the red suit.

"Being a child prodigy is a big advantage when it comes to wrestling. You'll get the upper hand most of the time when competing. That pretty means Ochako over there may be surprised that she will be meeting with a smarter adversary." Corey said analytically. "Plus, if Asuka can win, so is Shinji Ikari, who will be on the main event later tonight. However, that is only a possibility."

"And look at them; they are all in their suits, more like a Battle of the Suits!" Shun observed the attires of both women. The referee signals the timekeeper to ring the bell as it chimed in an instant.

Singles Match - Ochako Uraraka vs. Asuka Langley Soryu

"That's not even important here, Kaidou!" Corey retorted.

In the first few seconds, Ochako attempts to offer Asuka a handshake but gets the ultimate refusal as the latter strikes a hard fist to the face, which Ochako did not like that response for a bit.

"There is no time for a handshake! Asuka wants to compete!" Corey said.

Ochako fires back with a fist of her own and multiple of them, causing Asuka to defend herself until she makes her way to the corner cluelessly as the referee warns Ochako not until before the five count strikes as releases herself and raises her hands. But then, Asuka takes advantage and gives Ochako a rake to the eyes as Asuka whips her to the other corner, in which she charges Ochako with a Spear to the stomach.

"Shoulder tackle to the corner! I think you are right here, Corey. With a poke in the eye, she manages to take the lead here." Chris said.

Asuka grabs the arm of Ochako and twists it around. But Ochako instantly makes a move as she spins around and a quick kip-up and counters the Wrist Lock of Asuka into her own, quickly transitions to a Hammerlock, then also turns it into a Side Headlock. Asuka also acted hastily as she shoves Ochako to the ropes as she attempts for a Hip Toss as she takes down but surprisingly lands on her feet; however, their arms were locked in as Asuka tries to escape but was taken down with a Hip Toss, landing on her hips, causing the crowd to cheer. Ochako continues the momentum by bouncing to the ropes and hitting a Basement Dropkick to Asuka, sending her down for good.

"Oh! What a dropkick that was! I think Ochako wants for a cover!" Shun exclaimed.

Ochako pins Asuka, who quickly kicks out before two as the latter simply rolls out of the ring, much to the jeers of the people of Tokyo Dome. Ochako decides to follow Asuka as she slides down under the bottom rope, but Asuka quickly backs inside, so is Ochako. When Ochako arrives back, she is met by a Spinning Heel Kick by Asuka that sends Ochako down as Asuka covers her. Ochako kicks out at two.

"Smart, smart move by Asuka but could not get her opponent down for a three-count," Corey said.

Asuka then proceeds to manipulate the left shoulder of Ochako with her Hammerlock submission, sending Ochako in screaming pain. Ochako attempts to stand, but the hold is too much for her to handle and she stays kneeling as the crowd is rooting for the woman in the pink suit.

"Asuka's systematic kind of approach to wrestling Ochako seems to be effective at this point, as far as the contrast between the two goes," Chris said.

"With this, I think Ochako could not handle a punch or a forearm shot whenever she tries," Corey answered.

"It seems she is getting the hang of it, and she tries to stand up," Shun said. Ochako almost escaped the hold, but Asuka saw it coming as she hit a Belly-to-Back Suplex, sending her down immediately on the canvas, and Asuka made her way to cover her opponent.

Ochako kicks out. Asuka instantly went back to her injured shoulder and applied the Hammerlock submission once again.

"You can tell that Asuka is in desperation mode and went back to the shoulder of Ochako and wants to avoid her to make a move or anything else, apparently," Chris said.

"As much ridiculous it is, but it seems that's the case right now," Corey said, agreeing to his colleague's statement.

But this time, the submission wasn't deeply applied as Ochako carefully kicks the gut of Asuka to no avail then fires the other good elbow, which was effective and sends Asuka to a corner with the usage of her back without damaging her shoulder as Asuka unconsciously releases the hold. Ochako decides to take the match into high gear as she uses her head to lift the light Asuka to the top turnbuckle and climbs up to the top as well.

"I don't think I'm gonna like the next scene here!" Shun exclaimed.

"With them both on the top turnbuckle, this could not go end well for both competitors," Chris said.

Ochako then grabs the shoulders of Asuka, possibly nailing a Hurricanrana, but Asuka sees it coming as she shoves Ochako to the canvas but lands on her feet, not too far away from Asuka. Ochako tried to climb up but was stopped by a boot of Asuka. Suddenly, Ochako nails an Enzuigiri to Asuka to the side of the face that sends herself outside from the top to the apron then to the floor, surprising the crowd.

"Big kick by Ochako, and surprisingly this could turn the tide of the match," Corey said.

Seeing Asuka back up to her feet, Ochako instinctively went to the further ropes as she bounced and flew high with a Tope con Hilo with her landing on her feet while Asuka was sent down once more. This caused the fans to cheer for the girl with a visible blush on her cheeks. Ochako then sends Asuka back in the ring as she soon follows, and Ochako allows Asuka to stand up as she respites herself in the corner while nursing her damaged shoulder.

"I don't know, but giving the time to make your opponent stand up is a bad idea," Corey said.

"I think she's taking the time to breathe, too," Shun replied instantly.

After seeing Asuka standing up, Ochako takes out a Forearm Shot with her other good arm, and another, and the third one to put her down completely. Ochako jumps and hits a Double Foot Stomp to Asuka's gut that sends her in pain to put more damage. Ochako then covers Asuka for a pin attempt.

Asuka kicks out.

"That almost gives Uraraka a victory here in Winter Warfare! But still wasn't enough for Asuka to concede." Corey said.

Ochako picks up Asuka and lifts her up in a Fireman's Carry until Asuka escapes the move from behind and kicks the injured arm of Ochako and lifts both arms of Ochako, attempting for a Dragon Suplex but Ochako lands on her feet as she attempts for a kick, but the boot was caught until she uses the other good foot to nail an Enzuigiri but was also dodged as Asuka ducks. However, Asuka made a mistake letting go of the otherwise blocked boot as Ochako improvises with an Overhead Kick that stuns Asuka, but miraculously, Asuka was able to fire back with a Dragon Suplex, both women are down as the crowd loudly applauded the continuing match.

"It seems that they read each other homework and use it into action. Great sequence right there!" Chris exclaimed.

"If anything else, whoever stands up and fires the first shot will have the momentum on them," Shun said.

After a few seconds, both women stood up slowly and simultaneously as Asuka fires the first ammo with her Forearm Shot; in return, Ochako returns a kick to the leg of Asuka. Not for long, the two exchanged shots and kicks to one another for extra several seconds, with Asuka creating an opening for her as she nails an Elbow to the face of Ochako, who grabs her mouth. With this, Asuka grabs both arms of Ochako again to hit another Dragon Suplex, which Ochako lands on her nape. Asuka went to a corner and saw Ochako unknowingly crawling as she ran and jumped to land a Curb Stomp, but Ochako side steps and countered with a Roll-Up.

Asuka kicks out immediately.

"Oh my God! That was close!" Shun exclaimed after seeing a nearfall.

"Asuka went for her Second Coming (Curb Stomp) move, but Ochako evaded the upcoming foot in just a nick of time," Corey added.

Ochako instantly hits an Enzuigiri to the side of the head of Asuka, who was on wobbly legs. It was then followed up with a Shotgun Dropkick that sent Asuka to the corner, but Asuka would not fall on the mat as she decided to kick her gut and lift her up, vertical style and swings around with her with a Neckbreaker.

"Gravity Plus (Vertical Lift Swinging Neckbreaker)! Gravity Plus! That's her finishing maneuver. This is it!" Chris shouted, almost rooting for Ochako, who attempts for a pin.

The referee suddenly stopped counting when he noticed that Asuka's leg was hanging on the bottom rope, making the match continue, much to the shock of Ochako and the crowd.

"I almost got the heebie-jeebies from that one! Asuka's leg was luckily near the bottom rope, which saved her from losing! The match still continues!" Corey exclaimed.

Suddenly, Ochako's energy begins to fill dramatically as she puts Asuka in a spot, where she climbs up to the top turnbuckle as she waits for Asuka to get up. When Asuka begins to stand on one knee, Ochako settles to leap off from the top but was caught with Asuka's Sitout Powerbomb, but Asuka releases her quickly.

"A powerful Liger Bomb sends Ochako down and out, and Asuka did not go for the cover there," Chris said.

"I know what she's thinking, and she firstly attempts it in failure…" Corey paused as he saw Asuka runs to a crawling Ochako and hit the Curb Stomp to her head. "May she will succeed on her Second Coming! Here comes the cover!"

The bell rang in succession as the match finished, with the crowd sending applauses and cheers to the ones involved in the ring.

("Oh No!" by Marina and the Diamonds) was played through the arena.

"Here is your winner – Asuka Langley Soryu!" Mai Sakurajima announced the triumphant participant of the match as the referee raised an arm of Asuka, which she released immediately and was completely annoyed. Asuka then notices Ochako in an unconscious phase as she stomps the injured shoulder a few times, and the referee scolds her for her actions, much to the crowd's growing disapproval jeers from her.

"Adding insult to injury, we all know what are the intentions of Asuka when she is on the ring. It all took was a stomp to the head, making her opponent shut out cold." Corey said, clearly praising Asuka's background showing in the match.

"Come on, man, that's harsh! Stomping to your opponent after the match is so disrespectful!" Shun retorted.

"Ye shall see no one to ground the girl from Germany, who decides to make an impact here at Japan! At Winter Warfare, no less!" Corey replied.

Suddenly, the titan screen transitioned to the shot of the office of the GM, where the GM herself showed up and clapped for Asuka, who didn't like the disruption of her celebration.

"Congratulations, Ms. Asuka, for a hard-fought victory tonight! So, before you ask, I know what you're going to say – What am I doing right now, and why are you spoiling my celebration?" Kokomi said and paused. "To answer the questions, firstly, I'm doing alright, and so far, everything's good. I forgot to mention that earlier, I alluded to the other Championships to be introduced some time, which I already did for both the World and Tag Team Championship. But finally, I have an idea for the coronation of the first-ever AVW Women's World Championship."

Asuka was perplexed by her statement, in which she reacted with an incoherent complaint.

"I'll directly announce the plans for it right now. But for now, I am announcing that our new television program will be premiering this Tuesday and since you have won this match, it will now lead me to the next question – why did I interrupt your celebration? Here's the thing… I am actually planning for the debut of our TV program to be spectacular, breathtaking, or any adjective you can put out on." Kokomi continued. "At the debut episode of AVW Elevation, six handpicked women will face each other in a 'Steps to Stardom' Ladder Match, and the winner will face you at our first TV special, in which will take place in Washington D.C. at February 8, 2022. To make things interesting, your match against the winner of that Ladder Match will be for the inaugural AVW Women's World Championship!"

The crowd gasped and cheered afterward from hearing a phenomenal announcement from the General Manager. Meanwhile, Asuka smirked in response, nodding in understanding over the proposal of the GM.

"What the hell?! That was a bombshell of an announcement coming from our General Manager! Asuka versus the winner of the Ladder Match, which will take place this Tuesday, will face the now ever-ready Asuka Langley at the first AVW TV Special on February 8!" Chris summarized the whole announcement for everyone who did not hear it clearly.

"That sounds exciting!" Shun reacted.

"I am absolutely loving this, and it keeps getting better and better throughout the past hour!" Corey exclaimed.

"But with that out of the way, we are now a few minutes away from the collision between six competitors, who will battle for the inaugural AVW World Championship," Chris announced next. "Who will be the ones who get eliminated? Who will be our first-ever World Champion of Anime Valley Wrestling? That will be answered as the main event will be coming through in a few minutes."

Asuka then makes her way to the entranceway to raise her hands and laugh like a maniac as she gestures for the Championship on her waist.
